Chapter Two – Getter Team, Sally Forth Unto Battle!
Within the hallways of the Saotome Research Institute, alarm klaxons blared, alerting all within to a dire message.
Enemy attack.
In the main control center at the apex of the Institute building, an old and somewhat overweight man with a wild shock of black hair both on his head and his chin, put his hands deep within the pockets of his white lab coat. His face showed some anxiety, but it was soon replaced with determination. Professor Saotome stepped up to the control panel next to one of the other scientists, and he picked up the microphone.
"Ryoma, Hayato, Musashi, are you all ready?" He asked. He was met with a trio of affirmatives from all three Getter pilots. "Good! Getter Team, sally forth! We're picking up about a half-dozen Mechasaurus coming this way from the east."
Inside the red pseudo-jet fighter Get Machine Eagle that sat within the main hangar of the building, Ryoma nodded. "Got it, Professor. Let's go, Hayato, Musashi! Get Machines, launch!"
The three fighters, red, blue, and yellow, rocketed out of the main hangar and bee-lined for the incoming threats. The first Mechasaurus Ryoma picked up on his radar was a flying beast, the Bado, which was a mockery of the Pterodactyl dinosaur. The Bado had machine enhancements of added armor around it's torso and missile racks on it's wings.
Ryoma called out as he banked to the left, "Hayato, Musashi! Let's get this one before the others get close! OPEN FORMATION, GO!"
In Get Machine Jaguar, Hayato simply smirked as he followed in Ryoma's wake. Musashi nodded as sweat formed on his brow as he pulled Get Machine Bear around to follow. He was getting used to piloting Getter, but it was still somewhat overwhelming to him to pilot such a powerful machine.
"Getter Missile, fire!" Shouted Ryoma as he depressed the trigger of his control stick. Two missiles blasted out of the compartments under the nose of the Eagle to explode directly on the Bado. Two more pairs of missiles from Hayato and Musashi's machines joined the explosion.
"Did we get it!?" Musashi's voice was tinged with some anxiety as the smoke cleared.
The answer became obvious. The Bado, parts of it's body ripped away to expose machinery underneath, screeched in anger as it fired it's own missiles at the Get Machines. The three fighters took evasive action and split in three different directions. Hayato's Jaguar made an inverted Immelmann maneuver, and he fired his Vulcan guns at the Bado. The Bado finally broke apart and exploded as the Jaguar rushed through the expanding cloud of smoke. Checking his radar, he noted that the next Mechasaurus was a ground type, a Zu. The Zu was a bastardization of the Triceratops, looking more like a pink horned pig instead.
"Ryoma! Let's combine into Getter! I'll handle this one!" He called out to the team leader.
"Aye. Let's go, Hayato, Musashi!"
The three Get Machines pulled into formation and sped low across the ground, Jaguar leading. Hayato called out the activation phrase as the three pilots threw the combine switch.
"CHANGE, GETTER TWO! SWITCH ON!
Ryoma pulled Eagle up to the rear of Musashi's Bear, and the two machines locked together. Getter Energy coursed through the two machines and began to reshape them. Eagle became a set of long, spindly legs. Bear became a tapering torso. The combined machine arced up towards the sky, and the Jaguar flew up past it as it reformed into a drill-shaped head and two arms; one with a claw and the other with a massive drill. The Jaguar locked onto the other end of the Bear, and Getter-2, the devilishly-fast ground combat Getter, was formed. The Zu, unperturbed, fired it's horn missiles at the newly formed robot. Hayato side-stepped the missiles with ease.
"Don't underestimate Getter's speed! Let's do it, DRILL PUNCH!!" He yelled as Getter-2 thurst its drill arm towards the Zu. The drill shot off like a rocket, and impaled the Zu in the face. The drill started up and bore its way through the Mechasaurus' body, throwing chunks of machinery around like bits of entrails. The drill came out the other end of the now-destroyed robot to return to Getter-2's arm.
The next Mechasaurus that stepped up to the plate was a Sai, a somewhat silly-looking Tyrannosaur knock-off. Regardless of its appearance, the green jacket of armor and the missile launcher imbedded in it's mouth were evidence of what threat it posed. The Sai stood neck-deep in the nearby river.
Musashi gulped as he realized what that meant. It was his turn. He tightened his grip on the controls as Hayato called out, "OPEN GET!"
Upon Hayato's words, Getter-2 split apart; the three Get Machines separating and spreading apart. Gathering his wits together, Musashi followed up with, "CHANGE, GETTER THREE! SWITCH ON!"
Hayato's Jaguar extended a set of tank treads from its underbelly and began to drive along the hard-pressed dirt near the river. This was followed by Ryoma's Eagle flying nose-first down into the top-side of the Jaguar and reforming into a stout lower torso. Musashi and his Bear finished the combination by locking into the rear of the Eagle and forming into a squat and square head and a pair of tube-like arms. Getter-3, the one made specifically for water combat, rushed for the river and quickly submerged as it headed for the Sai. The Sai fired missiles at the submerged Getter, and Musashi flinched as they exploded on Getter's armor.
There was nary a scratch. Feeling more confident, Musashi charged the Sai and yelled out, "It takes more than that to bust Getter's armor! Take this! GETTER PUNCH!!"
Getter-3 rolled up to the Sai and delivered a good one-two punch to the beast, knocking it down. Extending its arms out, Getter-3 hauled the Sai up in the water as Musashi yelled at the top of his lungs, "Now, to finish you off! DAISETSUZAN OROSHI!!!"
Reversing the drive of the right tread, the Getter began to rotate, dragging the Sai along. The two spun faster and faster as the water churned around them wildly, forming an underwater tornado. Suddenly, Getter-3 threw it's arms up and let go of the Sai. The beast wailed in anger as it rocketed up threw the tornado and out of the water. It finally halted several dozen meters up in the air before crashing back down into the water, only to receive a devastating punch to its midsection from the waiting Getter-3. The Sai simply exploded on contact, causing a large geyser of water to spout from the river.
As Getter-3 rolled out of the water, Ryoma asked in some disbelief, "What the heck was that, Musashi? I didn't know Getter could do judo techniques."
Musashi grinned like a fool. "I improvised that one, Ryoma! It's my undefeated Falling Mountain Drop!"
"That's all nice and good you two, but there's more company on the way," Stated Hayato as he pointed out the next threat: two airborne Bados.
"Right, leave these to me!" Declared Ryoma as he cracked a few knuckles. Musashi called out "OPEN GET!" and Getter Robo separated once again. This time the three jets sped straight up into the air as Ryoma screamed out the activation phrase.
"CHAAAAAANGE GETTER ONE!! SWITCH ON!!!"
This combination was the fastest of the three. Bear slammed up into Jaguar and became a set of stout red and white legs. Jaguar formed into a white torso and red and white arms. The combined machines continued to zoom up into the air as Ryoma flew up past them before hitting the brake thrusters. This caused Eagle to look like it was flying backwards into the Jaguar and Bear, and it formed into the upper torso and head of Getter-1 as it locked with the other machines. Extending a red cape from its shoulders, Getter-1, the heavy-attack air combat machine, soared towards the incoming Bados. Grabbing it Tomahawk weapon from behind its shoulder, Getter-1 rose it above its head.
"TRY THIS!! TOMAHAAAAAAWK BOOMERANG!!!!"
Getter-1 threw the Tomahawk at the Bado on the left. The Tomahawk sailed through the air to slice right through the Mechasaurus, destroying it immediately. The other Bado opened its mouth and fired a bright beam of energy at Getter-1, but Ryoma was quick on the reaction and dodged it swiftly. By this time, the Tomahawk was on its return arc and ripped through the Bado from behind, sending it to join its brethren. Ryoma and the other two pilots let out a breath as the radar showed no other enemies.
"Professor, I think we got them all," Said Ryoma as he turned Getter-1 around towards the Saotome Institute.
Saotome's voice came back over the intercom, "Boys, we're picking up some sort of very-high-altitude battle going on nearby. Head on over to the coordinates I'm sending you and find out what's going on."
As the data was sent, Ryoma nodded as he responded, "We'll head there immediately."
As soon as Ryoma had the location, Getter-1 sped off in the direction of the battle. It was to the east, towards Tokyo.
