Android Kikaider 02: The Fanfiction
Disclaimer: If you're reading this, then you probably never read the first five chapters. Anyway, I do not own Kikaider, Kikaider 01, or any of the characters thereof. However, I do own all of the other characters that don't come from them.
In the night, a man looked at the moon with a horrifying stare. "It's almost time for another full moon."
The man kept looking at the moon, but then he heard a strange flute sound playing in his ears. He covered them screaming out in pain. "No! I don't want to hurt anyone! Leave me alone!"
The flute would not heed to his request. The man's eyes turned red as he kept screaming out in pain. After a while, the screaming stops, and the man turns into a monstrous wolf-like creature with glowing red eyes. The creature then released a blood-chilling howl into the night sky. The creature then set off for a local town.
---Curse of the Heart---
As Niro lay unconscious on an observation table, Mitsuko was typing hard on her keyboard running a system diagnostics on her son. Jiro was standing behind her and keeping an eye on both her and Niro. "Will he be okay?" Jiro asked.
Mitsuko was just looking at a percentage completion bar when she replied, "I hope so. We caught the virus before it could do more permanent damage, but I still don't know."
Mitsuko turned to her son and just looked at him. "He didn't have a choice in this whole mess, and sometimes I wonder if I'm to blame for that."
She now looked like she was about to cry. "Jiro...I'm scared."
Jiro hugged Mitsuko tightly and said, "It's not your fault, Mitsuko. Night is the one who didn't give him any choice on what he has to do now. All he can do now is fight to protect those he loves."
Mitsuko was shocked at Jiro. "How do you know about Night?"
Jiro sighed and replied, "Alright. After I destroyed Dark, I wanted to make sure nothing else came up after it. Unfortunately, something did, and that's how Shadow came to be. Shadow was lead by Gill after he had put his brain in Hakaider's body. After defeating Shadow, I began to hear rumors about another organization coming up. The leader of this organization is called Kuro Atogama. He's the last survivor of the Dark organization. To carry out some of his underworld dealings, he's apparently using some of the robots your father designed but never made."
"My father?" she asked in reaction.
Jiro nodded his head. "Most of these robot designs are a lot more powerful than some of the Dark androids. The most powerful one is one called Multi-Colored Sand Lizard, but I've also been hearing rumors of some sort of ultimate weapon that's supposed to be a battle android far more powerful than him, but he's currently in development."
"A battle android in development?" Mitsuko repeated.
"So you didn't come back because you wanted to make sure Dark was gone for good," Masaru said as he was walking in.
Jiro turned to Masaru and said, "Yeah."
Masaru just smiled and said, "Well, it's good to finally have you back. How's Niro doing?"
Mitsuko looked at the computer screen and saw that the repairs were complete. "We've got the problems fixed. Now we just need to let him rest for a bit."
Masaru nodded and said, "I also saw this on the way here, so I thought I'd drive by to pick it up."
Masaru gave Mitsuko the poison dart that was used on Niro and continued with, "Maybe this could be useful in the future."
Mitsuko gripped the dart and said, "I'll look at it after Niro wakes up."
In the Night headquarters, a video screen is showing a golden mechanical wolf destroying buildings and causing mass destruction and chaos. Kuro Atogama was sitting on his throne as he watched this while playing his flute. Multi-Colored Sand Lizard then came to Kuro's side and said, "I still don't see why you even keep him around especially if you need to use the control flute on him just to keep him in line."
"I keep him around because of his power. Although he's not willing to do what I want him to do all the time he's exceptionally powerful," was his reply.
"Yes, but he can only use his full power when there's a full moon out," the mechanical lizard said.
"That's also when the best time is to use him. When under the full moon he's perfectly willing to do evil. He's a real wild card."
"But to use him this early? Why?"
Kuro created a map on the screen and showed all of the creature's past locations. "If you'll notice, he's been trying to reach the Komyoji house. My guess is that he's been trying to go there so he could become free of my control. Whenever he gets too close too soon I play a little tune and send him back to destruction."
"I see. You're running the clock down."
Kuro gave an evil smile and replied, "Yes. When he comes into the Komyoji house he'll be well cared for, but once the full moon rises he'll attack while their defenses are down."
Niro slowly began to open his eyes. Once he saw that his eyes were working again he looked around to see where he was. "This is...Mom's lab."
He turned to see Masaru waving to him and a man he's never seen before, but the man looks much like him. "Hey. I'm glad to see you're okay."
Niro was looking at the man and asked, "Uncle Masaru, who's he?"
Masaru turned to see Jiro behind him, "Um...Niro...This is Jiro, your father."
Niro looked confused and surprised. "My father?"
Jiro went up to his son and extended his hand. "It's nice to meet you."
Niro just looked at the hand strangely. He knew what it meant for him to do, but he was too confused to know what to do next. His father was alive. After ten years, his father was alive. Jiro saw that he was too surprised to shake his hand, so he withdrew it. There was an awkward silence between the two, but Masaru broke it by saying, "Well, I think I'll just let the two of you get to know each other. I'll go tell Mitsuko that you're okay, Niro."
Masaru soon left the quiet room and went to find Mitsuko. When he found her, she was already running an analysis on the poison dart that hit Niro. Masaru knocked on the open door and said, "Hey. Niro's up."
Mitsuko breathed a sigh of relief and replied, "Thank goodness."
Masaru looked at her strangely and asked, "What did you mean by that? I thought that you knew that Niro was going to pull through."
Mitsuko still faced the computer screen and replied, "I did, but I can still worry, right?"
Masaru answered, "Point taken. Anyway, Jiro's in there with him right now."
"How are they doing?" she asked.
Masaru was a bit hesitant and replied, "Well, it's hard to say. Niro just seemed speechless. I think he was in shock or something because he didn't even shake Jiro's hand when he offered it to him. When I left them, there was still nothing but dead silence. I think it might take some time for Niro to adjust."
"That doesn't sound good," Mitsuko replied.
"I know," said her younger brother.
Masaru then looked at the computer screen and asked, "What happened to waiting for Niro to wake up before looking at that?"
Mitsuko said, "I got a little impatient, and I needed something to calm my nerves a bit. Apparently, this dart has some sort of computer viral data that corrupts the overall performance of an android."
Masaru added in, "I see, so it's like a computer poison."
Mitsuko nodded and continued with, "This thing is very powerful. After it corrupts the basic functions of the android's processing unit it corrupts the overall system functions, and then after that it deteriorates it completely."
Masaru replied, "Whoa! That is some tough stuff. But then again, I would suppose it would have to be in order for it to actually affect Niro."
This made Mitsuko think to herself, "He's right! The Kikaider designs are more unique compared to other androids due to the Gemini circuit! But how could it be able to affect him? Unless........."
Mitsuko's eyes then took a look of incredible shock, but Masaru wasn't at an angle to see it. She knew that there was only one way for Night to possibly be able to design a poison to affect a Kikaider android. They would need a Kikaider android to study off of.
Daybreak came, and everyone was back in the house. Niro was getting on his Rocket Machine saying good-bye to his mother and uncle but not his father. Jiro asked, "Where is he heading off to?"
"Niro goes to a public school during the weekdays. It helps him try to live a normal life as a human," Mitsuko replied.
"I see," he said.
"Niro also has two friends: Gunta and Suzume. They don't know that he's really an android, and Niro has a very hard time trying to keep the secret from them without lying to them. His Gemini just won't let him have that freedom. It also keeps him from destroying enemy androids whenever he's attacked," she continued.
"That's not good. Do you know why it's like that?" he asked.
"Our theory is it's because the Gemini is complete. Since the Gemini also interprets the concepts of right and wrong, it puts more of a restriction on what Niro can do. I'd imagine he also hasn't used his most powerful weapon yet either."
"His most powerful weapon?"
"Yes. It's a weapon far more powerful than his Electro End."
"Interesting. He's holding back more than I thought," Jiro thought to himself.
Later on that day, Masaru was just walking outside the house when he saw a man with a black trench coat and hat come walking up to him. The man said, "Hello, young man. Is this the Komyoji residence?"
Masaru looked at the man and said, "Yeah. Is there something I can do for you?"
The man replied, "You have to help me before it's too late."
Masaru was a little confused at this and asked, "Help you with what?"
The man just said, "Please, take me to Ms. Mitsuko Komyoji. I need help."
Masaru could tell somehow that this man was honest, so he led him to see Mitsuko.
As the day passed, Niro came back home from school. He opened the door to his house and shouted, "Mom! Uncle Masaru! I'm home!"
Niro looked around the house and finally saw a note on the kitchen counter that said, "Gone to the lab."
Niro then put his stuff down and drove off to the lab on his motorcycle. Once he got there, he walked in and saw Mitsuko, Masaru, and Jiro either standing or sitting near a man sitting on the observation table. "Who's this?" he asked.
The man answered and said, "Hello. You must be Kikaider 02. My name is Gold Wolf."
"Gold Wolf?" Niro repeated questioningly.
Mitsuko filled him in by saying, "He's a Night android who has come to us for help."
The android named Gold Wolf then said, "My master keeps giving me orders that I don't want to do, and so he uses a control flute to force me to obey."
Niro just seemed confused. "A Night android? And you don't want to hurt anybody else? How?!"
Masaru just said, "That's what we don't know yet, but if it's a new ally from the other side then count me in."
Gold Wolf then said, "Oh! I almost forgot!"
The man then handed Mitsuko a disk. "This is a copy of my blueprints. That should help you out some in trying to free me from my master's will, but I don't know how since I honestly don't know what gives me a will of my own."
Jiro then began to think to himself, "It almost seems like what happened with Golden Bat, but he knew full well that he had a Gemini that was in even worse shape than mine. What makes this guy different?"
Gold Wolf continued by saying, "But I must ask that you work quickly. There's going to be a full moon out tonight, and if I'm not free by then you'll have to destroy me."
"Destroy you? Why?" Niro asked.
Gold Wolf answered by saying, "Once the moon is full I turn into a horrible monster that's perfectly willing to do evil at any level."
Mitsuko then said, "I'll take a look at the plans and see what I can come up with. In the meantime, the sun will set in a few hours. Mr. Gold Wolf, I hope you don't mind being strapped down to the table for the time being."
"I encourage it at this point," he replied.
And strap him down they did. Mitsuko immediately began to work on looking at the blueprints. As she looked through them she noticed that some of the text was in a strange coding that she had only seen one other time: on Jiro's schematics. This code was just in case Gill somehow managed to get Jiro's blueprints. Now she knew that Gold Wolf was designed by her father, but he wasn't built by him. However, it would take some time for her to decipher the code herself.
Hours passed as Mitsuko worked on deciphering the schematics to Gold Wolf. Niro was playing around with the poison dart out of curiosity, and Masaru and Jiro were watching over the strapped down Gold Wolf. When the sun began to set they went to close the blinds on the windows so the full moon wouldn't shine through. However, they could tell that it was getting darker. Masaru then said, "I hope Mitsuko hurries up with the solution. We're running out of time."
Jiro replied, "I agree. But something doesn't feel right."
Gold Wolf then spoke by saying, "You think this is some sort of trap?"
Jiro turned to Gold Wolf and nodded. Gold Wolf responded by saying, "I don't blame you. I'm starting to think that this is some sort of trap myself. I tried numerous times to get here before this, but the control flute would always stop me."
Jiro replied, "I know the feeling."
Jiro then turned to Masaru and asked, "How strong are these windows?"
Masaru then replied, "As far as I know, these windows are practically bulletproof. Nothing can break them."
All of a sudden, a missile came at the window they were standing by. Jiro managed to get Masaru out of the way just as the missile came in contact with the window, exploded, and destroyed it. "Or I could be wrong!"
As the full moon shone on Gold Wolf Masaru yelled, "Niro! Mitsuko! We have a problem!"
Niro quickly ran to the observation table and saw Gold Wolf going into convulsions. As Gold Wolf seemed to lose complete control over his body he screamed. Soon these screams turned into howls as he transformed into his true form. He turned into a golden canine with four tails and red eyes. The transformed Gold Wolf struggled to get free of his restraints. Seeing this, Niro put the dart to the inside of his belt, put his hands on his shoulders, and gave the command, "CHANGE! 02!!"
Niro's human features disappeared as he transformed into Kikaider 02. Jiro then put his hands to his shoulders and gave the command, "SWITCH ON!!"
Jiro soon transformed into Kikaider and said, "Niro, get Mitsuko and Masaru out of here. I'll take this guy on."
As Gold Wolf got free from his bonds, Niro said, "No. I can take him. You get Mom and Uncle Masaru away from here."
Jiro then said to his son, "No you can't. He won't hold back like you do. Get Mitsuko and Masaru out of here now!"
Niro replied, "I've gotten this far on my own! I can take him! I don't need you telling me what to do!"
"Are you two going to fight me, or are you two just going to fight amongst yourselves? If you are, then I'll destroy you both!"
Gold Wolf fired off his tails at them. After they tried to evade them they soon realized that they were homing missiles. Kikaider and 02 kept trying to outrun the missiles, but they couldn't. However, once the two that were following 02 got close enough he kicked one missile into the other and blasted out of the way of the explosion. Kikaider followed suit and both of them flew at Gold Wolf from both sides and punched him at the same time. The lunar monster howled in extreme pain as he fell to his knees.
Masaru cheered, "Alright!"
Mitsuko looked at the three and said, "No. Gold Wolf isn't down yet. He's a lot tougher than that."
02 went to Gold Wolf, picked him up, and said, "Come on. You're going back to the observation table."
Kikaider yelled, "Niro! Don't!"
However, it was too late as Gold Wolf punched Kikaider 02 and sent him flying ten feet. Kikaider then charged at Gold Wolf, but he got smashed into the ground. Once Kikaider got back to his knees, Gold Wolf kicked him and sent him flying to where 02 landed. "This is the android that destroyed Dark and Shadow? And this is the son who has been giving Night so much trouble? How pathetic!"
The Kikaiders then got up and saw Gold Wolf put his paws together and a massive orb of energy came out from them. "I'll destroy you both in one blast! WOLF BEAM!!!"
Gold Wolf then launched a massive beam of energy at the two blue and red androids, but they used their rocket feet to blast out of the way. As he dodged the blast, Kikaider 02 began to think back to the memory of overhearing the conversation between Mitsuko and Masaru about the poison dart.
Whoa! That is some tough stuff. But then again, I would suppose it would have to be in order for it to actually affect Niro," he remembered Masaru saying.
02 looked at the dart he still had with him. "That's it! It'll risk his internal systems, but it's better than destroying him!"
02 then saw that Kikaider was getting ready to use his Electro End. Kikaider brought his arms into an X formation as they became surrounded in blue energy. He then leaped high into the air, did a front flip, and screamed, "ELECTRO END!!!"
"No!" Niro shouted as he blasted right for his father and kicked him in the torso in midair. This caused Kikaider to go flying back as the energy around his arms disappeared. Kikaider 02 then took this time to take the poison dart out of his belt and threw it at Gold Wolf. The dart hit him right in between the eyes. Kikaider crashed into the ground, and Kikaider 02 landed on his feet. He began to see the symptoms of the virus take effect in Gold Wolf much faster than what it did to him. Soon enough, Gold Wolf fell to the ground unconscious and reverted back to his human disguise. 02 then transformed back into Niro and carried him back into the lab. Mitsuko and Masaru went to get Jiro, and the three of them followed Niro.
Daybreak came over the lab, and the human Gold Wolf regained consciousness. "Huh? What happened?"
Niro answered, "You transformed into your android form, and we managed to stop you. While you were out cold, Mom found out that you had an incomplete Gemini. She completed it, so now you'll never be controlled by Night again."
Gold Wolf then saw Mitsuko, Masaru, and Jiro come in and said, "I cannot thank you enough for what you've done for me. However, I do wish to fight with you whenever the time comes."
Jiro then said, "Thanks. It might also be best if you stay with us so that you'll have some protection in case Night comes after you."
"Thank you, Mr. Jiro," Gold Wolf said.
Niro extended his hand to Gold Wolf and said, "Welcome aboard."
Gold Wolf gladly took his hand and shook it.
A/N: Hey everyone. First, I'd like to apologize for not updating in so long. A busy work schedule and writer's block do not work for the common good. Second, sorry if I confused anyone about the computer poison in the last chapter. But anyway, please keep the reviews coming!
Disclaimer: If you're reading this, then you probably never read the first five chapters. Anyway, I do not own Kikaider, Kikaider 01, or any of the characters thereof. However, I do own all of the other characters that don't come from them.
In the night, a man looked at the moon with a horrifying stare. "It's almost time for another full moon."
The man kept looking at the moon, but then he heard a strange flute sound playing in his ears. He covered them screaming out in pain. "No! I don't want to hurt anyone! Leave me alone!"
The flute would not heed to his request. The man's eyes turned red as he kept screaming out in pain. After a while, the screaming stops, and the man turns into a monstrous wolf-like creature with glowing red eyes. The creature then released a blood-chilling howl into the night sky. The creature then set off for a local town.
---Curse of the Heart---
As Niro lay unconscious on an observation table, Mitsuko was typing hard on her keyboard running a system diagnostics on her son. Jiro was standing behind her and keeping an eye on both her and Niro. "Will he be okay?" Jiro asked.
Mitsuko was just looking at a percentage completion bar when she replied, "I hope so. We caught the virus before it could do more permanent damage, but I still don't know."
Mitsuko turned to her son and just looked at him. "He didn't have a choice in this whole mess, and sometimes I wonder if I'm to blame for that."
She now looked like she was about to cry. "Jiro...I'm scared."
Jiro hugged Mitsuko tightly and said, "It's not your fault, Mitsuko. Night is the one who didn't give him any choice on what he has to do now. All he can do now is fight to protect those he loves."
Mitsuko was shocked at Jiro. "How do you know about Night?"
Jiro sighed and replied, "Alright. After I destroyed Dark, I wanted to make sure nothing else came up after it. Unfortunately, something did, and that's how Shadow came to be. Shadow was lead by Gill after he had put his brain in Hakaider's body. After defeating Shadow, I began to hear rumors about another organization coming up. The leader of this organization is called Kuro Atogama. He's the last survivor of the Dark organization.

"My father?" she asked in reaction.
Jiro nodded his head. "Most of these robot designs are a lot more powerful than some of the Dark androids. The most powerful one is one called Multi-Colored Sand Lizard, but I've also been hearing rumors of some sort of ultimate weapon that's supposed to be a battle android far more powerful than him, but he's currently in development."
"A battle android in development?" Mitsuko repeated.
"So you didn't come back because you wanted to make sure Dark was gone for good," Masaru said as he was walking in.
Jiro turned to Masaru and said, "Yeah."
Masaru just smiled and said, "Well, it's good to finally have you back. How's Niro doing?"
Mitsuko looked at the computer screen and saw that the repairs were complete. "We've got the problems fixed. Now we just need to let him rest for a bit."
Masaru nodded and said, "I also saw this on the way here, so I thought I'd drive by to pick it up."

"I keep him around because of his power. Although he's not willing to do what I want him to do all the time he's exceptionally powerful," was his reply.

"That's also when the best time is to use him. When under the full moon he's perfectly willing to do evil. He's a real wild card."
"But to use him this early? Why?"
Kuro created a map on the screen and showed all of the creature's past locations. "If you'll notice, he's been trying to reach the Komyoji house. My guess is that he's been trying to go there so he could become free of my control. Whenever he gets too close too soon I play a little tune and send him back to destruction."
"I see. You're running the clock down."
Kuro gave an evil smile and replied, "Yes. When he comes into the Komyoji house he'll be well cared for, but once the full moon rises he'll attack while their defenses are down."
Niro slowly began to open his eyes. Once he saw that his eyes were working again he looked around to see where he was. "This is...Mom's lab."
He turned to see Masaru waving to him and a man he's never seen before, but the man looks much like him. "Hey. I'm glad to see you're okay."
Niro was looking at the man and asked, "Uncle Masaru, who's he?"
Masaru turned to see Jiro behind him, "Um...Niro...This is Jiro, your father."
Niro looked confused and surprised. "My father?"
Jiro went up to his son and extended his hand. "It's nice to meet you."

"Interesting. He's holding back more than I thought," Jiro thought to himself.
Later on that day, Masaru was just walking outside the house when he saw a man with a black trench coat and hat come walking up to him. The man said, "Hello, young man. Is this the Komyoji residence?"
Masaru looked at the man and said, "Yeah. Is there something I can do for you?"
The man replied, "You have to help me before it's too late."
Masaru was a little confused at this and asked, "Help you with what?"
The man just said, "Please, take me to Ms. Mitsuko Komyoji. I need help."
Masaru could tell somehow that this man was honest, so he led him to see Mitsuko.
As the day passed, Niro came back home from school. He opened the door to his house and shouted, "Mom! Uncle Masaru! I'm home!"
Niro looked around the house and finally saw a note on the kitchen counter that said, "Gone to the lab."
Niro then put his stuff down and drove off to the lab on his motorcycle. Once he got there, he walked in and saw Mitsuko, Masaru, and Jiro either standing or sitting near a man sitting on the observation table. "Who's this?" he asked.
The man answered and said, "Hello. You must be Kikaider 02. My name is Gold Wolf."

The man then handed Mitsuko a disk. "This is a copy of my blueprints. That should help you out some in trying to free me from my master's will, but I don't know how since I honestly don't know what gives me a will of my own."
Jiro then began to think to himself, "It almost seems like what happened with Golden Bat, but he knew full well that he had a Gemini that was in even worse shape than mine. What makes this guy different?"
Gold Wolf continued by saying, "But I must ask that you work quickly. There's going to be a full moon out tonight, and if I'm not free by then you'll have to destroy me."
"Destroy you? Why?" Niro asked.
Gold Wolf answered by saying, "Once the moon is full I turn into a horrible monster that's perfectly willing to do evil at any level."
Mitsuko then said, "I'll take a look at the plans and see what I can come up with. In the meantime, the sun will set in a few hours. Mr. Gold Wolf, I hope you don't mind being strapped down to the table for the time being."

When the sun began to set they went to close the blinds on the windows so the full moon wouldn't shine through. However, they could tell that it was getting darker. Masaru then said, "I hope Mitsuko hurries up with the solution. We're running out of time."
Jiro replied, "I agree. But something doesn't feel right."
Gold Wolf then spoke by saying, "You think this is some sort of trap?"
Jiro turned to Gold Wolf and nodded. Gold Wolf responded by saying, "I don't blame you. I'm starting to think that this is some sort of trap myself. I tried numerous times to get here before this, but the control flute would always stop me."
Jiro replied, "I know the feeling."
Jiro then turned to Masaru and asked, "How strong are these windows?"
Masaru then replied, "As far as I know, these windows are practically bulletproof. Nothing can break them."
All of a sudden, a missile came at the window they were standing by. Jiro managed to get Masaru out of the way just as the missile came in contact with the window, exploded, and destroyed it. "Or I could be wrong!"
As the full moon shone on Gold Wolf Masaru yelled, "Niro! Mitsuko! We have a problem!"
Niro quickly ran to the observation table and saw Gold Wolf going into convulsions. As Gold Wolf seemed to lose complete control over his body he screamed. Soon these screams turned into howls as he transformed into his true form. He turned into a golden canine with four tails and red eyes. The transformed Gold Wolf struggled to get free of his restraints. Seeing this, Niro put the dart to the inside of his belt, put his hands on his shoulders, and gave the command, "CHANGE! 02!!"
Niro's human features disappeared as he transformed into Kikaider 02. Jiro then put his hands to his shoulders and gave the command, "SWITCH ON!!"
Jiro soon transformed into Kikaider and said, "Niro, get Mitsuko and Masaru out of here. I'll take this guy on."
As Gold Wolf got free from his bonds, Niro said, "No. I can take him. You get Mom and Uncle Masaru away from here."
Jiro then said to his son, "No you can't. He won't hold back like you do. Get Mitsuko and Masaru out of here now!"
Niro replied, "I've gotten this far on my own! I can take him! I don't need you telling me what to do!"
"Are you two going to fight me, or are you two just going to fight amongst yourselves? If you are, then I'll destroy you both!"
Gold Wolf fired off his tails at them. After they tried to evade them they soon realized that they were homing missiles. Kikaider and 02 kept trying to outrun the missiles, but they couldn't. However, once the two that were following 02 got close enough he kicked one missile into the other and blasted out of the way of the explosion. Kikaider followed suit and both of them flew at Gold Wolf from both sides and punched him at the same time. The lunar monster howled in extreme pain as he fell to his knees.
Masaru cheered, "Alright!"
Mitsuko looked at the three and said, "No. Gold Wolf isn't down yet. He's a lot tougher than that."
02 went to Gold Wolf, picked him up, and said, "Come on. You're going back to the observation table."
Kikaider yelled, "Niro! Don't!"
However, it was too late as Gold Wolf punched Kikaider 02 and sent him flying ten feet. Kikaider then charged at Gold Wolf, but he got smashed into the ground. Once Kikaider got back to his knees, Gold Wolf kicked him and sent him flying to where 02 landed. "This is the android that destroyed Dark and Shadow? And this is the son who has been giving Night so much trouble? How pathetic!"
The Kikaiders then got up and saw Gold Wolf put his paws together and a massive orb of energy came out from them. "I'll destroy you both in one blast! WOLF BEAM!!!"
Gold Wolf then launched a massive beam of energy at the two blue and red androids, but they used their rocket feet to blast out of the way. As he dodged the blast, Kikaider 02 began to think back to the memory of overhearing the conversation between Mitsuko and Masaru about the poison dart.
Whoa! That is some tough stuff. But then again, I would suppose it would have to be in order for it to actually affect Niro," he remembered Masaru saying.
02 looked at the dart he still had with him. "That's it! It'll risk his internal systems, but it's better than destroying him!"
02 then saw that Kikaider was getting ready to use his Electro End. Kikaider brought his arms into an X formation as they became surrounded in blue energy. He then leaped high into the air, did a front flip, and screamed, "ELECTRO END!!!"
"No!" Niro shouted as he blasted right for his father and kicked him in the torso in midair. This caused Kikaider to go flying back as the energy around his arms disappeared. Kikaider 02 then took this time to take the poison dart out of his belt and threw it at Gold Wolf. The dart hit him right in between the eyes. Kikaider crashed into the ground, and Kikaider 02 landed on his feet. He began to see the symptoms of the virus take effect in Gold Wolf much faster than what it did to him. Soon enough, Gold Wolf fell to the ground unconscious and reverted back to his human disguise. 02 then transformed back into Niro and carried him back into the lab. Mitsuko and Masaru went to get Jiro, and the three of them followed Niro.
Daybreak came over the lab, and the human Gold Wolf regained consciousness. "Huh? What happened?"
Niro answered, "You transformed into your android form, and we managed to stop you. While you were out cold, Mom found out that you had an incomplete Gemini. She completed it, so now you'll never be controlled by Night again."
Gold Wolf then saw Mitsuko, Masaru, and Jiro come in and said, "I cannot thank you enough for what you've done for me. However, I do wish to fight with you whenever the time comes."
Jiro then said, "Thanks. It might also be best if you stay with us so that you'll have some protection in case Night comes after you."
"Thank you, Mr. Jiro," Gold Wolf said.
Niro extended his hand to Gold Wolf and said, "Welcome aboard."
Gold Wolf gladly took his hand and shook it.
A/N: Hey everyone. First, I'd like to apologize for not updating in so long. A busy work schedule and writer's block do not work for the common good. Second, sorry if I confused anyone about the computer poison in the last chapter. But anyway, please keep the reviews coming!
