Android Kikaider 02: The Fanfiction
Disclaimer: Yeah. I've done this seven times already. If you missed it then, then what's the matter with you?! Anyway, I don't own Kikaider, Kikaider 01, or any of the characters thereof. The rest are mine!
Niro, Jiro, Masaru, and the human Gold Wolf sat in the living room of the house thinking about Mitsuko's capture. Then Masaru said, "So Multi- Colored Sand Lizard wants to fight you alone at the old railroad station downtown tomorrow afternoon?"
Niro nodded his head, and then Gold Wolf said, "I believe this could be a trap."
"It doesn't matter," Niro replied. "He said that I have to fight him tomorrow afternoon, and that's just what I'm going to do."
"Niro, you'll be facing off against Night's most powerful android yet, and there's no telling what else he has in store. I don't like this," Jiro protested.
"Mom is in danger! I'm not just going to sit idly by! His only demand is that I fight him tomorrow afternoon," Niro responded.
He then walked off to his room. Gold Wolf then said, "This is not going to end well. Multi-Colored Sand Lizard is incredibly strong."
"I agree. There's only one way he can win," Jiro added.
"His ultimate weapon." Masaru responded.
"Ultimate weapon?" asked Gold Wolf curiously.
Masaru then explained, "Niro has two techniques: the Electro End and something else. Mitsuko didn't tell me what exactly it was, but she said that it was far more powerful than his first."
Jiro then replied, "She didn't tell you either? So there are only two people who know what it is, and one of them refuses to use it."
---Power Unleashed---
Mitsuko sat quietly on the ground tied to a railroad crossing signal during the night. She glared at the reptilian machine that captured her. "First you kidnap 03, and now you've kidnapped me. Why?"
Multi-Colored Sand Lizard laughed a little and said, "Because I want to see the look on your face when I destroy your first son."
"Niro won't lose!" she yelled.
"And what will he do? Kill me?" he responded.
Mitsuko didn't say another word. She couldn't say another word. He kept taunting her by saying, "The only thing you can do is just watch the show. It's rather ironic, isn't it? You call them him your son, but he goes into battle after battle and one life-threatening situation after another all because of you. And I thought parents were supposed to protect their children. Instead, your child is protecting you."
Mitsuko seemed to take the words to heart. The monster then continued with, "But then again, I guess he would have to since you weren't even able to protect your incomplete second son."
Mitsuko glared at her kidnapper. She maintained a serious look so she could appear that nothing he said to her would make her break. However, she could not deny how his words were tearing her up inside. Inside her heart, guilt began to form from thinking of all the battles Niro has gone through and the kidnapping of 03. As the night passed and she fell asleep tied to that crossing light, she asked herself one thing. "Am I a failure as a mother?"
Morning came once more to the Komyoji house once again. Just as Niro was about to leave for school again, Masaru stopped him by saying, "Hold on, Niro."
Niro stopped and turned to his uncle. Masaru then said, "You're staying home today."
Confused, Niro asked, "Huh? Why? Today isn't an off day, and I feel fine."
Masaru then said, "I just called the school and told them that you're sick."
Niro protested by saying, "But I'm perfectly fine. Even after that battle, everything's functioning properly."
His uncle then said, "You're staying here so you can focus on your battle today."
Masaru then continued with, "Gold Wolf, Jiro, and I have both agreed to this. You'll stay home for the rest of the morning and train until this afternoon when you go for your fight."
Niro still seemed a bit confused. "Train? How can I train? I'm a machine, so I can't possibly get any stronger."
The human Gold Wolf walked in and said, "You could if you didn't hold back so much of your power. You have what it takes to beat Multi-Colored Sand Lizard, but your ideals of not killing another android hold back your real power. There's nothing you can't do and no one you can't beat, but you have to see past whatever artificial life we androids have. These androids that you constantly fight with have no hearts and souls. They are nothing more than mere drones controlled by a madman. I know this from experience."
"And by that, I'm supposed to betray what is right? I can't do it! I won't do it! I'll never kill another android! We're just as human as any other human, so why can't they be?! You're asking me to commit murder!!" shouted Niro.
"That's enough, Niro!" came another voice.
The voice it came from belonged to his father. Jiro continued with, "Stop acting like such a child! The world is not perfect, and neither are we! This also applies to humans. Wake up, Niro! It's going to be your life or theirs, and I know that Mitsuko wouldn't want to see her only son die!"
Now Niro was getting angry. "How dare you bring Mom into this!!"
Masaru and Gold Wolf looked at each other and walked out of the room. Niro and Jiro seemed to just stare each other down. Jiro gave a sigh and said, "Look, I know what we're asking you to do is hard, but ..."
"Oh, so now I have a choice?!" Niro interrupted. "Fine. I'll stay here and train or whatever you want me to do."
Niro turned his back to Jiro and started walking off, but he stopped and said, "By the way, why should I trust you?"
Jiro looked at his son and said, "Your mother trusted me."
"That's why I don't," was his harsh reply as he walked off.
Jiro knew that there would be consequences for coming back ten years late, but he never imagined anything like this. Mitsuko and Masaru were taking it better than he had ever hoped, but Niro was a lot different. But no matter how much he knew that it was his own fault, nothing could stop the hurt inside from forcing tears down his cheeks.
The first bell rang for school to start, and neither Gunta nor Suzume could find their electric guitar-sporting friend. "This is weird. Niro's never been late for school before," Suzume said.
Gunta then replied, "I thought I heard someone in the attendance office say that Niro's uncle called him in sick today."
"Huh? Niro's never been sick a day in his life," she quickly stated.
"Yeah, I know. Do you think something's up with him?" he asked.
Suzume sighed and said, "I don't know, but I wish I did."
"You know...the dance is coming up in about a week. Has Niro asked you about going with him yet?" Gunta asked.
"Huh? No, he hasn't." Suzume answered.
"It figures. He can be such an idiot sometimes."
"Now what do you mean by that?" she retorted.
Gunta turned to face her. "I mean if you ask the guy what he knows about romance, and he'll give you a definition better than Merriam Webster, but that's it. If you want to go to the dance with him, then you're going to have to ask him yourself."
"...Do you think I should?" she asked.
"You dare to question the advice of the descendant of the legendary Sanjayu Momochi?" he replied arrogantly.
"Well, who wouldn't?" she asked sarcastically.
"I hate it when you do that."
Back at the Komyoji house, Niro was positioned in a fighting stance facing Gold Wolf in his android form. "Are you ready?" asked the canine android.
Niro nodded. "Let's go!"
Gold Wolf charged at Niro with a punch, but Niro blocked and kicked him in the stomach. Niro then followed up with a roundhouse kick across Gold Wolf's head. The monstrous android didn't seem to have minded too much. The young human-like android then charged at Gold Wolf, but he retaliated by launching four Wolf Missiles at him. Niro then quickly side- stepped out of the way, but the missiles kept following him. He then punched one of the missiles into another causing them to explode along with the other two that were caught in the explosion. "Is that all you've got?" Niro asked.
"That's a lot of talk coming from someone who's on the run!" Gold Wolf retorted as he fired off another barrage of missiles. This time, Niro dove right between all of them causing them to follow at too close of a proximity to each other, and they all hit each other and exploded. Niro then ran right for Gold Wolf, but Jiro came out of nowhere and kicked him to the side and sent Niro into the ground. "That was cheap!" he shouted.
"You should already know by now that your enemies won't always play by the rules," was Jiro's response.
Jiro then put his fists to his shoulders and gave the command, "SWITCH ON!!"
All of Jiro's human features flew off as he changed into Kikaider once more. Niro got into a fighting stance and waited for his father's next move. He waited until he heard the words "WOLF BEAM!!!"
Niro saw Gold Wolf's special attack coming at him, and he managed to back flip away from the blast. Kikaider then took this opportunity to kick Niro while he was in mid-air, and he was sent back to the ground. Kikaider landed next to him and said, "You're not focused! At this rate, Multi- Colored Sand Lizard will kill you in a matter of minutes!"
Niro got off the ground and growled angrily. "Shut it! I don't need you telling me how to fight!"
"Prove it!" Kikaider challenged him.
Niro then charged at Jiro, and they became engaged in a fierce hand- to-hand fight. Gold Wolf just chose to watch rather than attack while Niro was off guard. The fight raged on and on until Kikaider punched Niro across the face. After this, Niro charged at the blue and red android before him. As he readied to throw a punch, he screamed in anger and transformed into Kikaider 02 instantly. 02 then threw the punch and landed it right in the middle of Kikaider's face. Kikaider then thought to himself, "That's it, Niro! You're tapping into your real power!"
Kikaider then retaliated, but it all proved to be useless against his rage-filled son. However, 02 didn't miss a single punch or kick as he brutally beat his father. Once Kikaider was lying on the ground, 02 brought his lower arms to the front in an X formation, and blue energy soon surrounded them. He charged at his father screaming, "ELECTRO END!!!"
Just as 02 was about to land the finishing slashes on his own father, Gold Wolf yelled, "Niro!! Stop!!"
The energy-covered hands stopped just a few inches from Kikaiders chest. After a few seconds, the arms turned back to normal, and Kikaider 02 reverted back into his human form. While Kikaider and Gold Wolf followed suit, Niro looked at his hands and thought to himself, "I could have...What was I doing?!"
Jiro said to him, "I think you're ready to take on Multi-Colored Sand Lizard now. Just remember not to hold anything back."
Niro just walked back into the house. Gold Wolf came up to Jiro and said, "You were really pushing him."
Jiro nodded and said, "I know, I know. It still had to be done though. He needs to learn to use his full strength."
Gold Wolf then said, "I agree, but still he nearly killed you!"
Jiro sighed and replied, "I know, but his anger towards me was the only way that I could think of to get him to reach his full power."
Gold Wolf didn't say anything else, but then Jiro hung his head low and said, "But I really wish it didn't have to be so."
The time passed, and Niro took off on his Rocket Machine to the old railroad station as planned. Once he got enough speed, he folded down the fins, and the rockets ignited as he flew off into the sky. "I love this thing!" he thought to himself.
He soon landed at his destination and looked around. "Alright, Sand Lizard, where are you?"
Multi-Colored Sand Lizard leaped down from a crossing sign and landed in front of Niro. "I'm right here, Kikaider 02."
"Where's my mother?" he asked angrily.
The mechanical lizard pointed to Mitsuko who was tied to a crossing sign. Niro ran to Mitsuko. While Niro was trying to untie her, Mitsuko said, "Niro, you have to get away from here! Don't worry about me! Just go!"
"No. I won't leave you behind."
"Aren't you forgetting something?" Multi-Colored Sand Lizard asked just as he wrapped his long tongue around Niro's neck. "You still have to fight me first before you can save her."
Niro then put his fists to his shoulders and gave the command, "CHANGE! 02!!"
Once again, Niro's human features disappeared as he transformed into Kikaider 02. Once the transformation was complete, he got into a fighting stance and yelled, "Bring it on!"
Multi-Colored Sand Lizard charged at the symmetrical blue and red robot. 02 sidestepped to the left in an attempt to hit him from the side, but the mechanical lizard brought his tail around and smashed him in the side. 02 fell to the ground, but got up again. He blasted his way right to the enemy android, but the monster punched him and sent him flying into an old train car. Before the teenage Kikaider could get up again, Multi- Colored Sand Lizard unleashed his long tongue again, wrapped it around 02's waist, and slung him around like a rag doll.
Once 02 finally hit the ground he stayed down for a little while. Multi-Colored Sand Lizard then went up to him and said, "Pathetic! What happened to your will to fight?!"
Kikaider 02 then took this time that he was distracted to trip the huge monster, quickly get up, and hit him with an extremely hard punch that sent him into another old train car. He then brought his arms into an X formation in front of him, and the lower halves of his arms became surrounded in blue energy. Once he could see his target get out of the car, he dashed right for him, screaming, "ELECTRO END!!!"
However, before 02 could land the final slashes, Multi-Colored Sand Lizard swung his tail around, and he hit him in the side preventing the heroic android from performing the attack. 02 fell to the ground, and Multi- Colored Sand Lizard placed one of his feet on his chest. "I was hoping for a more satisfying battle from the one who defeated all of our android forces."
The sinister robot then began to stomp on 02 repeatedly. The only thing that Mitsuko could do was watch in horror. "Niro! Get up! Please get up!" she screamed frantically
As Niro was getting pounded more and more, Jiro and Gold Wolf appeared behind Mitsuko and began to untie her. "Sorry we're late, but we had to make sure that Multi-Colored Sand Lizard thought that Niro had come alone," Jiro said.
Once they untied her, they focused on the battle. Jiro saw that Niro was being brutally stomped into the ground, and he couldn't take watching it. He was about ready to step in until Gold Wolf stopped him. "Wait, Jiro. He still needs to think that Niro came alone. If you step in then you ruin the whole battle."
"I know that, but I just can't stand here watching him get stomped on!" he said.
"Well then, keep watching. Things may look grim now, but I know Niro's going to pull himself out of this," he replied.
After a few minutes of stomping, Multi-Colored Sand Lizard turned to see that Mitsuko was free, and Jiro and Gold Wolf were standing there with her. "I told you to come alone! Oh well. I guess instead of your mother watching you die, you can watch your mother die!"
This took the final straw as Kikaider 02 grabbed the massive monster's foot. "I won't let you even touch her!" he yelled as he threw him off of him. The horrifying android got back up after being thrown and slung his tail at the blue and red android. However, things did not go as planned for him when 02 caught his tail, began spinning him around in a complete circle, and then throwing him into an old engine car and derailing it. After he got back up, Multi-Colored Sand Lizard extended his tongue, but 02 caught it with his hands, and it soon became a game of tug-of-war. "His strength has increased somehow! How did he gain so much power?!" he thought to himself.
Kikaider 02 then gave a hard pull on his tongue and sent the monster flying right for him. Once he got close enough, the battle android landed a punch right inside the mechanical lizard's mouth and pulled out the rest of the tongue. Multi-Colored screamed horribly in pain, but the blue and red android just said, "So much for that wicked tongue of yours."
The fin around Multi-Colored Sand Lizard's neck began to glow as he said, "You can crack jokes if you like, but you still can't beat me! SAND LIZARD STORM!!!"
The monstrous android unleashed a hurricane-like wind and blew 02 right into a crossing signal. Once he got up, he began to think, "I forgot about his special attack. As long as he's using that, I can't use my Electro End to finish him off. I guess this means that I'll have to use it after all."
Kikaider 02 looked at his opponent and yelled, "You wanted to see my real power? You've got it!"
As Multi-Colored Sand Lizard charged up for another attack, the exposed circuitry on 02's upper arms began to give an intense glow of blue. It almost seemed like he was going to do his Electro End attack, but all the energy was stored inside of his arms. He then positioned his arms in front of him, keeping his lower arms upward perpendicular to the ground. He then retracted his hands, and the blue rectangles on his cuffs began to glow blue. After that, he aimed his arms at his opponent, and put his wrists together. The arms now seemed like gun barrels.
The monster just yelled, "Let's see how it stands against this! SAND LIZARD STORM!!!"
Once the powerful gust of wind start coming right to him, Kikaider 02 yelled, "TWIN BLASTER!!!"
A massive blue beam of energy was fired from his arms and pierced right through the wind attack. The only thing that Multi-Colored Sand Lizard could do was scream in horrible pain as the massive blue energy ray hit him and exploded in a brilliant form of light. Jiro, Mitsuko, and Gold Wolf covered their eyes from the light generated by the powerful explosion. "Let me guess. This is Niro's ultimate weapon," Jiro said.
When the light finally cleared they saw a large amount of dust covering the battlefield, especially where 02 fired his Twin Blaster. Once the dust cleared, all that was left was Niro breathing heavily and a large ditch where the head and torso of Night's best android was lying. Jiro looked at the ditch and saw that it got wider and deeper as went further, meaning only one thing. He looked at the surviving remains of the monster and said, "All that, and he still held back."
"Huh? What do you mean?" Mitsuko asked.
Jiro then said, "Look at this ditch. Although the blast didn't get any bigger as it was fired, the ditch gets wider and deeper the farther it travels. He angled the blast downward just enough for it to hit Multi- Colored Sand Lizard and not kill him."
Niro walked up to the remains of his opponent and said, "You lost, Sand Lizard."
The reptilian head just looked up at Niro and said, "The battle, yes...but not the war. I was...only buying time...for Lord Kuro...to complete...the ultimate weapon. Now...nothing...can stop us. You will...be destroyed...Kikai..."
His final thought was interrupted as a laser blast struck him and destroyed him. Niro looked at where it came from and saw a boy that seemed slightly younger in appearance. He was wearing a red shirt with a black jacket, black pants, brown gloves and shoes, sunglasses, and he was holding a strange-looking gun. The boy said, "That useless piece of junk sure likes to hear himself talk. He was just as weak as he was annoying."
The boy turned to Niro and just said, "It would be so easy just to kill you now, but I'll save that for another time."
Niro didn't know who he was, but he received a very strange feeling a familiarity to this character. He then asked, "Who are you?"
The boy gave a little maniacal smile and said, "The name's Sano. Trust me. I won't ever let you forget it. See ya later."
He then drove off on what looked like a red Harley Davidson. Mitsuko just watched him drive off sadly. Her worst fears have now been confirmed. Though no one else may have seen it, she indeed saw a unique 03 design on the front of his belt.
A/N: I hope this makes the story a lot more interesting for everyone. Once again, thanks for all of the great reviews! Keep sending in them in!
Disclaimer: Yeah. I've done this seven times already. If you missed it then, then what's the matter with you?! Anyway, I don't own Kikaider, Kikaider 01, or any of the characters thereof. The rest are mine!
Niro, Jiro, Masaru, and the human Gold Wolf sat in the living room of the house thinking about Mitsuko's capture. Then Masaru said, "So Multi- Colored Sand Lizard wants to fight you alone at the old railroad station downtown tomorrow afternoon?"
Niro nodded his head, and then Gold Wolf said, "I believe this could be a trap."

Morning came once more to the Komyoji house once again. Just as Niro was about to leave for school again, Masaru stopped him by saying, "Hold on, Niro."
Niro stopped and turned to his uncle. Masaru then said, "You're staying home today."
Confused, Niro asked, "Huh? Why? Today isn't an off day, and I feel fine."
Masaru then said, "I just called the school and told them that you're sick."

Just as 02 was about to land the finishing slashes on his own father, Gold Wolf yelled, "Niro!! Stop!!"
The energy-covered hands stopped just a few inches from Kikaiders chest. After a few seconds, the arms turned back to normal, and Kikaider 02 reverted back into his human form. While Kikaider and Gold Wolf followed suit, Niro looked at his hands and thought to himself, "I could have...What was I doing?!"
Jiro said to him, "I think you're ready to take on Multi-Colored Sand Lizard now. Just remember not to hold anything back."
Niro just walked back into the house. Gold Wolf came up to Jiro and said, "You were really pushing him."
Jiro nodded and said, "I know, I know. It still had to be done though. He needs to learn to use his full strength."
Gold Wolf then said, "I agree, but still he nearly killed you!"

He soon landed at his destination and looked around. "Alright, Sand Lizard, where are you?"
Multi-Colored Sand Lizard leaped down from a crossing sign and landed in front of Niro. "I'm right here, Kikaider 02."
"Where's my mother?" he asked angrily.
The mechanical lizard pointed to Mitsuko who was tied to a crossing sign. Niro ran to Mitsuko. While Niro was trying to untie her, Mitsuko said, "Niro, you have to get away from here! Don't worry about me! Just go!"
"No. I won't leave you behind."
"Aren't you forgetting something?" Multi-Colored Sand Lizard asked just as he wrapped his long tongue around Niro's neck. "You still have to fight me first before you can save her."
Niro then put his fists to his shoulders and gave the command, "CHANGE! 02!!"
Once again, Niro's human features disappeared as he transformed into Kikaider 02. Once the transformation was complete, he got into a fighting stance and yelled, "Bring it on!"
Multi-Colored Sand Lizard charged at the symmetrical blue and red robot. 02 sidestepped to the left in an attempt to hit him from the side, but the mechanical lizard brought his tail around and smashed him in the side. 02 fell to the ground, but got up again. He blasted his way right to the enemy android, but the monster punched him and sent him flying into an old train car. Before the teenage Kikaider could get up again, Multi- Colored Sand Lizard unleashed his long tongue again, wrapped it around 02's waist, and slung him around like a rag doll.
Once 02 finally hit the ground he stayed down for a little while. Multi-Colored Sand Lizard then went up to him and said, "Pathetic! What happened to your will to fight?!"
Kikaider 02 then took this time that he was distracted to trip the huge monster, quickly get up, and hit him with an extremely hard punch that sent him into another old train car. He then brought his arms into an X formation in front of him, and the lower halves of his arms became surrounded in blue energy. Once he could see his target get out of the car, he dashed right for him, screaming, "ELECTRO END!!!"
However, before 02 could land the final slashes, Multi-Colored Sand Lizard swung his tail around, and he hit him in the side preventing the heroic android from performing the attack. 02 fell to the ground, and Multi- Colored Sand Lizard placed one of his feet on his chest. "I was hoping for a more satisfying battle from the one who defeated all of our android forces."
The sinister robot then began to stomp on 02 repeatedly. The only thing that Mitsuko could do was watch in horror. "Niro! Get up! Please get up!" she screamed frantically
As Niro was getting pounded more and more, Jiro and Gold Wolf appeared behind Mitsuko and began to untie her. "Sorry we're late, but we had to make sure that Multi-Colored Sand Lizard thought that Niro had come alone," Jiro said.
Once they untied her, they focused on the battle. Jiro saw that Niro was being brutally stomped into the ground, and he couldn't take watching it. He was about ready to step in until Gold Wolf stopped him. "Wait, Jiro. He still needs to think that Niro came alone. If you step in then you ruin the whole battle."
"I know that, but I just can't stand here watching him get stomped on!" he said.
"Well then, keep watching. Things may look grim now, but I know Niro's going to pull himself out of this," he replied.
After a few minutes of stomping, Multi-Colored Sand Lizard turned to see that Mitsuko was free, and Jiro and Gold Wolf were standing there with her. "I told you to come alone! Oh well. I guess instead of your mother watching you die, you can watch your mother die!"
This took the final straw as Kikaider 02 grabbed the massive monster's foot. "I won't let you even touch her!" he yelled as he threw him off of him. The horrifying android got back up after being thrown and slung his tail at the blue and red android. However, things did not go as planned for him when 02 caught his tail, began spinning him around in a complete circle, and then throwing him into an old engine car and derailing it. After he got back up, Multi-Colored Sand Lizard extended his tongue, but 02 caught it with his hands, and it soon became a game of tug-of-war. "His strength has increased somehow! How did he gain so much power?!" he thought to himself.
Kikaider 02 then gave a hard pull on his tongue and sent the monster flying right for him. Once he got close enough, the battle android landed a punch right inside the mechanical lizard's mouth and pulled out the rest of the tongue. Multi-Colored screamed horribly in pain, but the blue and red android just said, "So much for that wicked tongue of yours."
The fin around Multi-Colored Sand Lizard's neck began to glow as he said, "You can crack jokes if you like, but you still can't beat me! SAND LIZARD STORM!!!"
The monstrous android unleashed a hurricane-like wind and blew 02 right into a crossing signal. Once he got up, he began to think, "I forgot about his special attack. As long as he's using that, I can't use my Electro End to finish him off. I guess this means that I'll have to use it after all."
Kikaider 02 looked at his opponent and yelled, "You wanted to see my real power? You've got it!"
As Multi-Colored Sand Lizard charged up for another attack, the exposed circuitry on 02's upper arms began to give an intense glow of blue. It almost seemed like he was going to do his Electro End attack, but all the energy was stored inside of his arms. He then positioned his arms in front of him, keeping his lower arms upward perpendicular to the ground. He then retracted his hands, and the blue rectangles on his cuffs began to glow blue. After that, he aimed his arms at his opponent, and put his wrists together. The arms now seemed like gun barrels.
The monster just yelled, "Let's see how it stands against this! SAND LIZARD STORM!!!"
Once the powerful gust of wind start coming right to him, Kikaider 02 yelled, "TWIN BLASTER!!!"
A massive blue beam of energy was fired from his arms and pierced right through the wind attack. The only thing that Multi-Colored Sand Lizard could do was scream in horrible pain as the massive blue energy ray hit him and exploded in a brilliant form of light. Jiro, Mitsuko, and Gold Wolf covered their eyes from the light generated by the powerful explosion. "Let me guess. This is Niro's ultimate weapon," Jiro said.
When the light finally cleared they saw a large amount of dust covering the battlefield, especially where 02 fired his Twin Blaster. Once the dust cleared, all that was left was Niro breathing heavily and a large ditch where the head and torso of Night's best android was lying. Jiro looked at the ditch and saw that it got wider and deeper as went further, meaning only one thing. He looked at the surviving remains of the monster and said, "All that, and he still held back."
"Huh? What do you mean?" Mitsuko asked.
Jiro then said, "Look at this ditch. Although the blast didn't get any bigger as it was fired, the ditch gets wider and deeper the farther it travels. He angled the blast downward just enough for it to hit Multi- Colored Sand Lizard and not kill him."
Niro walked up to the remains of his opponent and said, "You lost, Sand Lizard."
The reptilian head just looked up at Niro and said, "The battle, yes...but not the war. I was...only buying time...for Lord Kuro...to complete...the ultimate weapon. Now...nothing...can stop us. You will...be destroyed...Kikai..."
His final thought was interrupted as a laser blast struck him and destroyed him. Niro looked at where it came from and saw a boy that seemed slightly younger in appearance. He was wearing a red shirt with a black jacket, black pants, brown gloves and shoes, sunglasses, and he was holding a strange-looking gun. The boy said, "That useless piece of junk sure likes to hear himself talk. He was just as weak as he was annoying."
The boy turned to Niro and just said, "It would be so easy just to kill you now, but I'll save that for another time."
Niro didn't know who he was, but he received a very strange feeling a familiarity to this character. He then asked, "Who are you?"
The boy gave a little maniacal smile and said, "The name's Sano. Trust me. I won't ever let you forget it. See ya later."
He then drove off on what looked like a red Harley Davidson. Mitsuko just watched him drive off sadly. Her worst fears have now been confirmed. Though no one else may have seen it, she indeed saw a unique 03 design on the front of his belt.
