Chapter 14: Combat Training
"You should activate your armours!" Sonnet said urgently, as she moved away from them.
Ran and Mutaru quickly did so. Sonnet waited for a minute, to allow the armours to cool their hosts down, and for the blast fields to fade, before saying
"Are you ready for this?"
"Yeah. Shouldn't you bio-boost as well?" Red asked.
"Right, I should. GUYVER!"
Within a few seconds, Guyver Red, Guyver Blue and Psychic Guyver were standing in the Sahara Desert. Blue moved towards her friends, extending the sonic swords from her wrists as she did so, and explaining to Red and Psychic how to activate their swords.
Psychic's sensor orbs suddenly began to move.
"Who's there?" he demanded, looking round him.
"Relax, Psychic," a voice said, "It's only me."
Guyver 5 then landed next to them.
"Guyver 5!"
"Agito's right," Guyver 5 said, "Teleportation is a little difficult to control."
Sonnet smiled beneath her armour.
"You got my message then?"
"Yes, very clearly too."
"What are you two talking about?" Red asked.
"I sent her a brief message as we materialised here, inviting her to join us. I thought she would like to train with us and observe us."
"And you came along." Red stated.
"Yes, I want to learn from Sho, Agito and Sonnet in how to use this armour."
"Can you activate your swords?" Psychic asked.
Guyver 5 held both of her arms before her and the two sonic swords on her forearms extended, followed by one from each of her wrists.
"Guyver 1 showed me how to do this before we left Relic's Point," she said, "I didn't realise that I had blades in my wrists as well as my forearms. Guyver 3 was a little shocked too; he was standing in front of me when I released the blades."
"So you stabbed him!?" Red asked.
"Yes, Sho found that quite funny. I don't think Agito was amused though."
"No, I bet he wasn't." Psychic said.
Red and Psychic Guyvers were clearly amused by this. Sonnet found it funny, but she didn't laugh about it.
"We came here for a little training." She reminded her friends.
"OK, OK we're ready."
"I think we should split up and have a one-on-one fight with another Guyver; using only the swords, start off with the simple weapons." Blue suggested.
"Good idea, Blue." Guyver 5 agreed, "Mind if I battle with you, Red?"
"No. I think we will be evenly matched."
"OK, are you ready for this?" Blue asked her sparing partner."
"Yeah, bring it on!"
"No other restrictions though, you can injure your 'opponent'." [You need to learn to cope with injury and pain, 5; it's part of being a Guyver.]
[I know.] Mizuki sent back, [Guyver 1 and Guyver 3 were injured pretty badly during the battle at Relic's Point.]
The two pairs of Guyvers quickly began fighting each other. Psychic managed to stab Blue in mid-thigh and Blue, in return, stabbed him in a shin. Guyver 5 had her left hand cut off by Red, and managed to cut Red's left forearm in return.
[Guyver Blue, we need your help.] Guyver 3s telepathic voice suddenly entered her head. [There is a large group of zoanoids spread out all through Takamatsu, Guyver 1 and I are doing what we can, but we could use some backup.]
[We're on our way,] Blue replied, [Can you show me your exact location?]
Blue waited for the image to appear in her mind before turning to the others.
"It looks like you'll be getting some combat experience. We need to go to Takamatsu."
"Where in Takamatsu?" Guyver 5 asked, reattaching her severed hand.
Blue sent her the image she had received from Guyver 3.
"OK, I know where to go. Give me your hand Red."
Red did so and, in a flash of white light the two Guyvers vanished. Blue grabbed Psychic's arm and teleported them to the location of Guyver 3.
