Android Kikaider 02: The Fanfiction
Disclaimer: I don't know if I can do this, but what the heck? I'll do it anyway. If you want to see the disclaimer, look back to the other 8 chapters.
In the downtown area during the evening, there was an unloading crew unloading some boxes from a semi-truck. The driver shouted to the unloading crew, "Would you hurry it up over there? I've got to get back by tomorrow night."
"Yeah, yeah, yeah. Hold your horses, would ya?" one of them said.
"Whatever," the driver said shrugging off what the crewmember said.
Suddenly, there was a musical whistling sound that none of the humans could hear, but the semi's ignition came on. "Hey! We're not done unloading yet!"
The driver said, "I swear! I didn't do it!"
As soon as he said that, the truck began to move. The driver looked around frantically as the clutch, gas pedal, and gearshift began to move on their own. He tried to slam on the break, but the break wouldn't move. He then jumped out of the possessed truck as soon as possible. Once there was enough distance between the truck and the building, it turned around and sped right for it. All of the workers cleared out of the way of the kamikaze truck as it slammed right into the building and exploded as it made its way through.
What no one else saw was the young man with slicked-back brown hair, dark clothes, sunglasses, and a mechanical ocarina-like object in his mouth. Once he pulled it away, he gave a maniacal smile and said, "That should get your attention, big bro."
---Cain and Abel---
"He's my WHAT?!" came Niro's voice in shock.
Mitsuko just looked at him and said, "Yes. That Sano person is your little brother."
Masaru then said, "Let me get this straight one more time. You made two Kikaider units, Multi-Colored Sand Lizard kidnapped the second and incomplete one, and you didn't tell anyone about this?"
Mitsuko just nodded her head. "Why didn't you tell me?! Why were you hiding it?!" came Niro's moody voice.
"I am telling you right now," she replied.
"Besides, it wouldn't have changed anything. It might have been better that she still not say anything anyway. Now you probably won't be able to fight him without holding back even if you wanted to," Jiro said to his son.
"What? I can't fight my own brother! There's no way!" Niro shouted.
"There is a way," the human Gold Wolf stated. "That Twin Blaster technique of yours was overkill even for Multi-Colored Sand Lizard."
Masaru then asked, "Are you saying that the Twin Blaster was never meant to be used on that creep?"
"He's right," Mitsuko said.
She looked at Niro right in the eyes and said, "I had to prepare for the worst, and that's why I made you into such a powerful battle android. The Twin Blaster is designed specifically to be strong enough to even destroy a Kikaider robot."
Niro couldn't stand what he was hearing. "So you're saying...all this time...I was only made to fight?! To destroy?! To kill?!"
"Niro! Wait!" Masaru tried to interrupt, but to no success.
"So what am I?! A human or a machine?! Your son or your weapon?!" he carried on.
"Niro, I understand how you feel," Jiro tried to say to him sympathetically.
"Bull!! You don't know anything about how I feel!! Heck, you don't even know anything about me!!"
"Niro, stop it! That's no way to speak to your father!" Mitsuko said raising her voice.
"My father?! He's no father of mine, and he never could be!!"
Now everyone just gasped at this statement. He then continued with, "My father was a great man. He was kind, caring, and..."
He looked up at everyone else with tears streaming down his eyes and finished, "AND HE CERTAINLY WOULDN'T HAVE ABANDONED MY MOTHER FOR TEN YEARS!"
Niro stormed off to his room after he finished what he had to say. Mitsuko was about to follow him, but Jiro stopped her. "Mitsuko," he said, "let him deal with all of this on his own. He has ever right to hate me."
"Hate you?" Masaru repeated.
"Yes, and I don't blame him either. He may be a machine, but he still has the mind of a teenager. On top of that, his Gemini is entering a new stage of evolution. One in which he can feel, interpret, and express negative emotions that he's probably never known before," Jiro replied.
Gold Wolf then added, "So Niro's not just becoming more human. He's also growing up, and unfortunately, growing pains are an essential part to it."
Niro sat in his room looking at an ungloved hand. He looked at the yellow-fingered metallic hand that he had always known. It was the hand of a machine that he had always known. Unfortunately, now he was unsure of who he is or what his purpose is. Not only that, but now he knew the truth of his little brother, and he dreaded the day that he would have to see him again.
The next morning came, and Niro was off to school again. When he got there, he was greeted by his two best friends. "Hey man, are you feeling any better?" Gunta asked.
"Not really," he replied.
It was easy to tell that something was wrong with him, and it didn't really seem like anything physical. Suzume just asked, "Do you want to talk about it?"
"I got into a bit of an argument with my mom. Can we just leave it at that?"
"Oh, sure! No problem!" Gunta replied.
He smiled and said, "Thanks, Gunta."
Once Niro started heading to class, Gunta looked at Suzume and said, "Niro? Argue? With his mom? And I thought him being sick was weird."
"Yeah, I know. He just hasn't been himself lately. Something's wrong with him. I know it," she replied in a concerned way.
More time passed, and it was lunch time again. Suzume and Gunta got there lunches and met up with Niro who didn't have anything to eat as usual. "So Niro, how has your day been?" Gunta asked.
"It's been okay, I guess," was the android's solemn reply.
"Oh," was the only reply he could think of giving even though it wasn't the best one.
Gunta wanted to crack a joke so badly, but he couldn't think of any. "Maybe Suzume will have better luck getting through to him," he thought to himself as he left the table.
"Uh...," Suzume began to say. "So, Niro, you know the dance is coming up, right?"
Niro looked at her and replied, "Yeah. I've been hearing a lot of talk about it."
"So have you asked anybody to go with you?" she asked.
"Not really," he answered.
After a brief pause, Niro began to say, "Suzume, there's something I need to ask you, and I know I must sound like an idiot, but..."
Suzume couldn't believe what she was hearing. She began to think hopefully, "Is he going to ask me out?! I don't believe it! He's really going to ask me to the dance?!"
Niro finally found the courage to ask her the question that's been on his mind. "...What's a 'dance'?"
This one question practically floored Suzume. "I don't believe it! Gunta was right! He is an idiot!" she thought to herself.
Suzume recovered soon enough, cleared her throat, and said, "Well, a dance is where people our age meet up, hang out, eat, drink, dance, and all that, but it mostly consists of dancing."
"Oh, I see. So it's like a party," Niro responded.
"Exactly, but with more emphasis on the music and dancing. And there's one other part."
"What's that?" Niro asked.
"Well, usually when someone goes to a dance, they bring someone of the opposite gender with them," Suzume said.
"Oh. So who's asked you to go?" Niro asked.
"Well, no one has yet," she replied.
"Really?" Niro asked surprised.
"Yeah. Hey! Why don't we go to the dance together?" she suggested.
"But I don't know how to dance," he replied.
"Don't worry about it. I can teach you when we get there," she responded.
"Okay. Do you need a ride to get there?" he asked.
"Yeah! Could you pick me up at my house at about 6:30?" she replied with increasing excitement.
"Sure. No problem," he said.
"Great! It's a date!" she responded.
"Huh? What's a 'date'?" Niro asked curiously.
"Oh, it's just an expression. Don't worry about it," she replied.
"Okay. Well, I'll be sure to see you there," he said.
"Alright! Thank you!" she said gleefully.
Lunch ended, and it was about time that everyone goes back to class. Suzume couldn't help but think that she's going to go on a date with her best friend. However, Niro had absolutely no clue what he had just gotten himself into.
School ended once again, and Niro drove off for home. Once he parked his Rocket Machine, he opened the door and said, "I'm home!"
Mitsuko came to him and said, "Welcome home. Could we talk for a second?"
Niro nodded and she said, "Niro, I didn't mean to upset you when I said that the Twin Blaster was made for Sano. And no matter who or what you are, you are my son. You always have been, and you always will be."
Niro could see the tears that were beginning to form in her eyes. He hugged her and said, "I'm sorry, Mom. I shouldn't have reacted like I did. I guess the shock of all the news just got to me."
They broke away smiling at each other. Then Gold Wolf came in and said, "Niro, you might want to take a look at this."
Niro, Mitsuko, and Gold Wolf went into the living room to find Jiro and Masaru watching the TV as a news report came in. "And in other news," the reporter introduced, "last night there was an incident at a downtown warehouse where a semi-truck driver lost control of his vehicle while the loading crew was still unloading. And how much control did he lose? The driver and numerous eye witnesses say that the truck had a mind of its own when it plowed into the side of the warehouse."
The television then showed the trucker saying, "Yeah, I got out just when all of the pedals and the gear shift started to move on their own. I tell you the truck was possessed!"
Masaru turned off the TV and asked, "Anyone else think that this is Night's handiwork?"
Gold Wolf then said, "I agree, but I've never heard of any Night android that had the ability to establish remote access to other machinery."
Niro looked at the former Night android and replied, "Do you think that this is Sano's doing?"
Gold Wolf nodded and said, "Unfortunately, since he's a brand new android, I'm not sure exactly what he's capable of. And since he's a Kikaider robot, then there's no doubt that he's going to have a great deal of power to boot."
Jiro then commented, "On top of that, since he's a Kikaider, he knows just where and how to get to Niro. He really is Night's ultimate weapon."
Niro just clenched his fist and gritted his teeth. "Why, Brother? Why are you doing this?!"
Darkness came over the land as evening set out once again, and Niro began to creep quietly out of the house. Right when he was about to leave, he heard a familiar voice ask, "And just where are you going at this time of night?"
Niro turned around to see his father, Jiro sitting on the couch. Niro answered, "I'm going to check out the accident scene from last night. My guess is that it was a message for me in the first place."
"So you think he's leading you into a fight with him?" he asked.
Niro nodded and said, "Don't tell Mom, and don't follow me."
Before Niro could get through the door once more, Jiro walked up to him and said, "Before you go, I want you to know something. You may not believe me, but I know what it's like to have to fight battles you wish you never had to enter, and I know what it's like to fight your own brother."
Niro looked at the person he was modeled after and said, "You have no idea what you're talking about."
Jiro replied, "That's not true. I know where you're going isn't where you want to be, but I know where you're going is where you have to be. I know where you've gone, and I know everywhere you're going. I know all that because I've already been there."
"...I'm taking off," was the only reply that Niro gave as he went out the door.
Niro arrived shortly at the scene of the accident on his Rocket Machine. He looked around the site for any sort of clues. It was then that he heard a strange melody. He looked around to see where it was coming from, but couldn't find the source. Then he heard the sound of a car nearby starting up. He turned around and saw that the car was heading right for him. Niro quickly jumped over the car and landed on the cargo hold of the semi. However, the car turned quickly and ran into the cab at the last second causing both the car and the truck to go up in an explosion. Niro jumped off before the explosion reached the cargo and saw a familiar boy on a red Harley Davidson with a metal ocarina in his mouth. "What took you so long, 02?"
"Sano! Why are you doing this, Brother?" the heroic battle android asked.
"Aww! You spoiled the surprise! Well, if you really want to know, I did all this just to get you here."
Sano then revved up his motorcycle and said, "I bet my Crimson Angel can beat your little Rocket Machine."
Niro just looked at him confused as his little brother yelled, "Last one to the radio tower is a rotten egg!"
Sano quickly took off on his Crimson Angel motorcycle, and Niro followed in hot pursuit. Red wings soon spread out from the sides of the Sano's motorcycle and his rear wheel began to glow white as he ascended off the road and into the sky. Niro then lowered his fins as the rockets ignited on his motorcycle and he flew after him. After flying around and through a series of intricate buildings, they came to the radio tower. Both of the android brothers jumped off their vehicles and landed on the upper level. "What is this about?!" Niro asked the black-clad boy.
Sano smirked and said, "Didn't the old man ever tell you any of his stories? This is where he fought with Carmine Spider ten years ago. This is also where he learned that all of the robots he had faced, and all the robots he would face since then, were his brothers. And now, destiny has brought us here, and history will repeat itself once more."
Niro glared at his little brother and said, "I don't believe in destiny! It doesn't have to be this way! I don't want to fight you, Sano!"
"That's too bad," Sano said as he pulled his metal ocarina out again.
The evil android played a melody on it and Niro replied, "My Gemini is complete! That won't work on m........."
Niro soon began to grab his chest in pain. "My systems are going haywire!! What are you doing to me?!"
Niro screamed as his disguise disappeared and revealed his Kikaider 02 form. Sano just smiled and said, "My control ocarina may not be able to take control of your heart and mind, but it can control some of your more simplistic functions, and the most simplistic one of all is your transformation! Now you have no choice but to fight me!"
"No! I won't do it!" replied Kikaider 02.
Sano charged at him and shouted, "That's what you think!"
Sano then grabbed the ocarina by the mouthpiece and a trigger lowered itself in front of his hand. The ocarina had now transformed into the blaster that he used before, and he fired a couple of shots at his older brother. 02 dodged, charged at him, kicked him in the face, shattered his shades, and sent him falling off the tower and onto the pavement. Sano looked at him with the maniacal red eyes of a mad machine, smiled evilly, and said, "That's more like it. Now that I've seen your battle mode, it's time that I show you mine!"
Sano's eyes gave an orange glow as his human features exploded off of his body. Like the traditional Kikaider style, his body was divided into blue and red halves, but the colors were switched compared to 02's. Silver squared striped ran down his arms and legs, and his chest had a Y-shaped form of casing with exposed circuitry. There were two circles, one on each half, that exposed circuitry on the top of his head. He also had orange eyes like the Kikaiders before him with black stripes that ran down from each one. But the one thing that no other Kikaider had was the permanently fixed smile on his face that was in resemblance to Hakaider's. The only things that stayed the same were his collar and belt, and the transformation to the twisted Kikaider 03 was completed.
Kikaider 02 stared in horror as the truth that he was told was confirmed. 02 then jumped from the tower and landed in front of 03. He then charged at his little brother trying to attack him, but 03 was able to block every move blow for blow. 03 then retaliated with hand-to-hand combat maneuvers, but 02 was barely able to block the attacks. "He has just as many moves as I do!" the older android thought to himself.
The two broke away and the evil brother said, "Surprised? Just because Mom didn't finish my hardware installment and body chassis doesn't mean she didn't install the combat programs."
02 looked like what he said didn't sink in. He knew whatever he had to do he had to do it fast. That's when he decided to bring his lower arms in front of him in an X formation. Blue energy began to surround the arms once again as he did this. Unfortunately, Kikaider 03 was doing the same exact thing. 02 was surprised at this, but he wouldn't hesitate to do his next move. Both of the Kikaider brothers then screamed in unison, "ELECTRO END!!!"
The two battle androids charged at each other trying to attack the other. Both pairs of glowing arms became locked in a power struggle as electrical sparks shot out everywhere from the collision. After about a minute, Kikaider 03 broke the struggle by spreading his arms out wider, causing Kikaider 02 to do the same. 03 then did a back flip kick which impacted with 02's head. Once he landed on the ground, 03 drew his blaster two concussive blasts at his older brother's arms and one in his chest. 02 spiraled to the ground with critical damage. 03 looked down on him and said, "Consider yourself obsolete, Big Bro. However, I'm going to let you live for now. See ya later."
Kikaider 03 then hopped onto his Crimson Angel and took off. 02 barely managed to get up, but he did it and he whistled for his Rocket Machine. He then got into the sidecar, and the motorcycle drove back to the house on its own. He then said to himself, "I'm 50 to 75 percent damaged, so why would he spare me?"
A/N: Hey. Sorry for the long wait. I know it might seem a little slow with the introduction of Kikaider 03, but things will get a lot more interesting. I promise. However, you have to keep reading to find out what it is, but you have to keep reviewing to find out what it is faster! Please keep the reviews coming in!

"Whatever," the driver said shrugging off what the crewmember said.
Suddenly, there was a musical whistling sound that none of the humans could hear, but the semi's ignition came on. "Hey! We're not done unloading yet!"
The driver said, "I swear! I didn't do it!"
As soon as he said that, the truck began to move. The driver looked around frantically as the clutch, gas pedal, and gearshift began to move on their own. He tried to slam on the break, but the break wouldn't move. He then jumped out of the possessed truck as soon as possible.

"Niro! Wait!" Masaru tried to interrupt, but to no success.
"So what am I?! A human or a machine?! Your son or your weapon?!" he carried on.
"Niro, I understand how you feel," Jiro tried to say to him sympathetically.
"Bull!! You don't know anything about how I feel!! Heck, you don't even know anything about me!!"
"Niro, stop it! That's no way to speak to your father!" Mitsuko said raising her voice.
"My father?! He's no father of mine, and he never could be!!"
Now everyone just gasped at this statement. He then continued with, "My father was a great man. He was kind, caring, and..."
He looked up at everyone else with tears streaming down his eyes and finished, "AND HE CERTAINLY WOULDN'T HAVE ABANDONED MY MOTHER FOR TEN YEARS!"

The next morning came, and Niro was off to school again. When he got there, he was greeted by his two best friends. "Hey man, are you feeling any better?" Gunta asked.
"Not really," he replied.
It was easy to tell that something was wrong with him, and it didn't really seem like anything physical. Suzume just asked, "Do you want to talk about it?"
"I got into a bit of an argument with my mom. Can we just leave it at that?"
"Oh, sure! No problem!" Gunta replied.

Jiro replied, "That's not true. I know where you're going isn't where you want to be, but I know where you're going is where you have to be. I know where you've gone, and I know everywhere you're going. I know all that because I've already been there."
"...I'm taking off," was the only reply that Niro gave as he went out the door.

"Sano! Why are you doing this, Brother?" the heroic battle android asked.
"Aww! You spoiled the surprise! Well, if you really want to know, I did all this just to get you here."
Sano then revved up his motorcycle and said, "I bet my Crimson Angel can beat your little Rocket Machine."
Niro just looked at him confused as his little brother yelled, "Last one to the radio tower is a rotten egg!"
Sano quickly took off on his Crimson Angel motorcycle, and Niro followed in hot pursuit. Red wings soon spread out from the sides of the Sano's motorcycle and his rear wheel began to glow white as he ascended off the road and into the sky. Niro then lowered his fins as the rockets ignited on his motorcycle and he flew after him. After flying around and through a series of intricate buildings, they came to the radio tower. Both of the android brothers jumped off their vehicles and landed on the upper level. "What is this about?!" Niro asked the black-clad boy.
Sano smirked and said, "Didn't the old man ever tell you any of his stories? This is where he fought with Carmine Spider ten years ago. This is also where he learned that all of the robots he had faced, and all the robots he would face since then, were his brothers. And now, destiny has brought us here, and history will repeat itself once more."
Niro glared at his little brother and said, "I don't believe in destiny! It doesn't have to be this way! I don't want to fight you, Sano!"
"That's too bad," Sano said as he pulled his metal ocarina out again.
The evil android played a melody on it and Niro replied, "My Gemini is complete! That won't work on m........."
Niro soon began to grab his chest in pain. "My systems are going haywire!! What are you doing to me?!"
Niro screamed as his disguise disappeared and revealed his Kikaider 02 form. Sano just smiled and said, "My control ocarina may not be able to take control of your heart and mind, but it can control some of your more simplistic functions, and the most simplistic one of all is your transformation! Now you have no choice but to fight me!"
"No! I won't do it!" replied Kikaider 02.
Sano charged at him and shouted, "That's what you think!"
Sano then grabbed the ocarina by the mouthpiece and a trigger lowered itself in front of his hand. The ocarina had now transformed into the blaster that he used before, and he fired a couple of shots at his older brother. 02 dodged, charged at him, kicked him in the face, shattered his shades, and sent him falling off the tower and onto the pavement. Sano looked at him with the maniacal red eyes of a mad machine, smiled evilly, and said, "That's more like it. Now that I've seen your battle mode, it's time that I show you mine!"
Sano's eyes gave an orange glow as his human features exploded off of his body. Like the traditional Kikaider style, his body was divided into blue and red halves, but the colors were switched compared to 02's. Silver squared striped ran down his arms and legs, and his chest had a Y-shaped form of casing with exposed circuitry. There were two circles, one on each half, that exposed circuitry on the top of his head. He also had orange eyes like the Kikaiders before him with black stripes that ran down from each one. But the one thing that no other Kikaider had was the permanently fixed smile on his face that was in resemblance to Hakaider's. The only things that stayed the same were his collar and belt, and the transformation to the twisted Kikaider 03 was completed.
Kikaider 02 stared in horror as the truth that he was told was confirmed. 02 then jumped from the tower and landed in front of 03. He then charged at his little brother trying to attack him, but 03 was able to block every move blow for blow. 03 then retaliated with hand-to-hand combat maneuvers, but 02 was barely able to block the attacks. "He has just as many moves as I do!" the older android thought to himself.
The two broke away and the evil brother said, "Surprised? Just because Mom didn't finish my hardware installment and body chassis doesn't mean she didn't install the combat programs."
02 looked like what he said didn't sink in. He knew whatever he had to do he had to do it fast. That's when he decided to bring his lower arms in front of him in an X formation. Blue energy began to surround the arms once again as he did this. Unfortunately, Kikaider 03 was doing the same exact thing. 02 was surprised at this, but he wouldn't hesitate to do his next move. Both of the Kikaider brothers then screamed in unison, "ELECTRO END!!!"
The two battle androids charged at each other trying to attack the other. Both pairs of glowing arms became locked in a power struggle as electrical sparks shot out everywhere from the collision. After about a minute, Kikaider 03 broke the struggle by spreading his arms out wider, causing Kikaider 02 to do the same. 03 then did a back flip kick which impacted with 02's head. Once he landed on the ground, 03 drew his blaster two concussive blasts at his older brother's arms and one in his chest. 02 spiraled to the ground with critical damage. 03 looked down on him and said, "Consider yourself obsolete, Big Bro. However, I'm going to let you live for now. See ya later."
Kikaider 03 then hopped onto his Crimson Angel and took off. 02 barely managed to get up, but he did it and he whistled for his Rocket Machine. He then got into the sidecar, and the motorcycle drove back to the house on its own. He then said to himself, "I'm 50 to 75 percent damaged, so why would he spare me?"
A/N: Hey. Sorry for the long wait. I know it might seem a little slow with the introduction of Kikaider 03, but things will get a lot more interesting. I promise. However, you have to keep reading to find out what it is, but you have to keep reviewing to find out what it is faster! Please keep the reviews coming in!
