Chapter 3: Omega Hunter Zero Arrives

After following the trail InuYasha had found for about 30 minutes, the brave group of warriors come across a mangled piece of metal. Shocked, stunned, and showing every bit of both emotions (and then some), Kevin looks at what is left of his precious car...

"Damn, I know my car wasn't this bad when i left it!" he shouts. " What the Hell happened while I was gone?"

"I dunno," Kagome shrugs. "Do you think whoever did this found your Project?"

"Doubt it. I made sure I stashed it as well as I possibly could," Kevin says. With that, he yanked the driver's side door open and proceeded to fish around under the driver's seat. "Aha! Got it!"

"It...It looks...like a backpack!" exclaims Kagome. "Tell me that this project of yours isn't in paper form!"

"No...it's not..." Kevin says. "If that was all I had, I wouldn't waste your time. However this little 'backpack' is the control unit. It also becomes storage for the weapon upon deactivation."

"So let's see this big top secret weapon of yours already!" InuYasha snarls sarcastically. "We don't exactly have all day ya know!"

"Very well, oh impatient one," Kevin replies, equally sarcastic.

With that, Kevin dons the control unit. After checking that the unit was secured, the powerful weapon was then activated. Now surrounded by a bright blue forcefield, the armor and weapons begin attaching to him and synchronizing with his body functions. After a few moments pass, the mysterious man that was moments ago bruised and unconscious is now covered in silver and black armor, adorned with a big blue round jewel on the breastplate armor.

"Omega Hunter Zero...All systems online!" chimes a metallic voice.

"Amazing!" Miroku, Shippo, Kagome, and Sango shout in amazement.

Now ready to assist, Kevin, better known as Omega Hunter Zero at this point, glances towards his new companions. "Are we ready to continue our journey? I'm ready whenever you guys are!"

"Omega Hunter Zero, huh? Looks like you'll be somewhat useful to us after all!" InuYasha says with a smirk.

"I'll take that as a compliment!" Zero says smirking back.

"So what weapons do you have?" Sango asks the new warrior.

Zero draws and activates his sword, which has a blue beam blade. "This is my main weapon, the 'Z Saber.' It's almost as strong as the Tetsusaiga," Zero comments, smirking at InuYasha. "I also have my main projectile weapon, the 'Z Buster.' It shoots small shots and has the capability of charging up for even more powerful shots. I have transportation as well... a little jet bike known as the Zadion!" Zero explains pushing demonstrating each item as he describes it.

"All that will be most helpful in our quest," Miroku comments.

"Agreed! Welcome Omega Hunter Zero!" Sango, Shippo, and Kagome shout, cheering.

"OK, now that Show & Tell is out of the way, shall we proceed? This Naraku guy seems pretty dangerous." Zero says. With that, our group of heroes set off on their original journey, ready for anything. "Next Stop: Naraku's Castle!" they all shout.
