Chapter 7: A Few Surprises
Sonnet appeared in the corridor outside Ran's apartment and knocked on the door. Ran answered the door.
"Hi Sonnet. What are you doing here?"
"I wanted to visit. I can come back later if you like."
"No, no. Come on in."
Ran opened the door fully and Sonnet entered. She noticed Ran's Uncle sitting at the computer, typing away. There was no sign of Mutaru.
"Where's your brother?" She asked Ran.
"He's still asleep, he'll be up soon. Hey, Uncle, look who's here."
Her Uncle looked up from the computer, wondering what was going on. He smiled briefly when he saw Sonnet.
"Hello Sonnet. I didn't hear you come in."
"No wonder, you were so engrossed in your typing. What are you working on now?"
"I'm trying to type up some notes I made, for possible novels once this is over. I suspect that the Guyvers will be a key element in defeating Chronos."
Sonnet looked at the desk, where the computer was located. The notes were a large pile about ½ an inch high.
"That is a lot of notes."
"There are some storylines as well."
"Would you like me to do it for you?" Sonnet offered.
"If you don't mind."
"As long as I can talk to the three of you afterwards. I have some news."
"Sure."
Sonnet sat down in the chair as Ran's Uncle got up. She started to type, slowly at first, and she got very fast after a minute. Within 5 minutes, the pile of notes had been copied into the computer.
"I thought you wouldn't take too long, Sonnet," Ran commented, "Your cybernetic systems give you fast reflexes and sharp hand-to-eye coordination."
Sonnet smiled as she moved to sit on the sofa. Ran's Uncle walked in as she sat down.
"You're done already!"
"That was easy, compared to some of the things I've had to do in the past. By the way, they still need to be saved."
"Thanks."
Mutaru entered as Ran sat next to Sonnet on the sofa.
"Morning everyone." He said.
"You said you wanted to talk to us all, Sonnet?" Ran asked.
"Yes, could you sit down for a minute Mutaru?"
Once he had sat down, Sonnet started to talk.
"I have some information that you may be interested in. You all know that I am working in Chronos as a high-level researcher for the Arizona Branch. During my job I hear some interesting things, you are aware that Guyvers 1 & 3 have been opposing Chronos wherever they can and I sometimes help them. I've managed to make an agreement with them where we will help each other with any battles we fight against Chronos or Taron. What I haven't told them is that Chronos has recently found 2 more Guyver units that are awaiting transportation to the Ark. I believe that Archanfel and Imakarum will be receiving them. You are aware of how powerful they would become with a Unit-G."
"We can imagine Sonnet," Ran interrupted, "But why are you telling us this?"
"I intend to steal the Units from them and give them to you and your brother."
There was silence for sometime, until Mutaru asked.
"Are you serious?"
"Of course," Sonnet answered, "Ran. You have ESP abilities that are stronger than anyone else's, due to your blood being that of the ancient race. Mutaru, since you gained some of your sister's blood, you have strong telepathic and reasonable psychic abilities. The two of you would make powerful Guyvers, possibly the strongest in the world. Besides, it's better if the two of you got them than the zoalords."
"I agree with you," Ran said "I'm up to the challenge if you are, Mutaru."
"I'm ready too."
Sonnet smiled, "Good. I'll steal them and bring them here when I have them."
"Wait a second," Ran's Uncle spoke up, "Don't I get a say in this?"
"I thought you would agree to this." Sonnet said.
"I do agree with this, but I want you to train them as best you can once they have their units."
"I'll do that, but what their armour suits are like will affect what I can show them."
"Fine."
"I'd better get going; I've got to be at work by 09.00. By the way, Ran, can I talk to you alone for a minute?"
"Sure, we should go into the hall."
Sonnet and Ran leave the apartment and enter the corridor outside it.
"What's up?" Ran asked.
"I've been doing some research on Archanfel and the Creators, using what I can find at work. I think I mentioned to you that Archanfel had been made by the Creator Race about 3 million years ago."
"Yeah, you did. What are you getting at?"
"I believe that the blood that runs through you is the same as the blood that runs through the bodies of the Creators, and Archanfel."
Ran looked at Sonnet in silence, and shock, as she realised what her friend was implying.
"You think I'm Creator?"
"It seems like you are to me, you are similar to them at least, like Archanfel is. If I'm right, you may be powerful enough to destroy Archanfel with the aid of a Unit-G."
"I like the sound of that."
Sonnet smiled, "I thought you would. Once I have the Units I'll teleport myself out of the base and find a phone and let you know, then I'll teleport to your apartment."
[I'll also introduce the two new Guyvers to Guyvers 1 &3, once you are ready.] Sonnet sent to Ran as she teleported herself out and to her own apartment in the US.
