Android Kikaider 02: The Fanfiction
Disclaimer: Yeah.
Inside some sort of dark room, Kuro Atogama sits on his throne and looks at a monitor with some sort of design on it that appears to be a massive ship. "How is the construction coming along?"
The silver android with a bowl on top of his head appeared and responded, "The construction of the Battleship is on schedule."
Kuro nodded and asked, "And the power source?"
The android replied, "The power source has been completed, but we cannot seem to access the power."
"Are you certain you followed Gill's notes on the construction of it?"
"Yes, my master, and we have managed to integrate that half of the component with the other half you gave us. However, the component's power generator still will not activate."
Kuro then replied, "Then get it fixed. I want that component fully operational by the end of the day. Do you understand?"
The silver android nodded and replied, "Yes, my master."

Akira sat in front of his computer and typed on it. He began to pull up the schematics for Kikaider 02 that Niro had given to him. "An incredible surge of power? How? How did he do it?"
Rieko then came into the room. "Whatcha up to, Akira?"
The teenage boy replied, "I'm trying to see how it could have been possible for Niro's power to suddenly increase like you told me about. It's one thing for the weapons to become more powerful with more collected energy exerted, but overall physical performance? It just doesn't add up. I've tried every..."
Rieko then slid her arms down Akira's shoulders and hugged him from behind. "Maybe you're just trying too hard to figure it out. Take a break and let's go talk with the others. I'd kind of like to get to know my cousin and uncle better."
Akira smiled and replied, "You always were able to get me to not overwork myself. Even when we were little kids, you somehow managed to get me to come out of my shell."
She smiled at him and said, "I gave you some pushes. You did the rest. Now let's go!"
Rieko then took Akira by the hand and led him out of the computer room.
Niro sat down on the couch and looked at his ungloved robotic hand. Suzume saw him and sat down next to him. "Whatcha looking at?"
Niro snapped out of his trance and turned to her. "Oh. Sorry. I was looking at my hand."
"Oh. Any particular reason why?"
Niro nodded and said, "One of my biggest problems with my completed Gemini was that it wouldn't allow me to destroy an enemy android. It would always interpret it as killing, and that's commonly viewed as wrong. For the longest time, the theory was that once I would be able to do something bad I could finally become human like Gold Wolf. However, I've already destroyed two androids, and one of them was my own brother, and still nothing has changed."
Suzume gave her opinion about this by saying, "Well that's a pretty bad way to look at humans."
Niro seemed confused by this response until she continued, "I like to think that humans are different in their own ways. Some may be born into a world of love while others are born into a world of tears. I just think that our actions are apart of our humanity, but the rest comes from how we have the ability to feel emotions."
Niro smiled and said, "A little philosophy?"
Suzume smiled back and replied, "Yeah. I guess finding out that you were an android got me into thinking about what being human really is. I mean, that night you came to rescue me and Sano dropped me, I just couldn't believe what I saw, but after thinking about it for a while, I saw that no matter what you were you were still human to me. The way you held me as we danced, the way you always tried to be a friend to me, and you jumping after me to save me when I was falling made me realize just how human you were despite what you really are."
Niro smiled at her and said, "Thanks, Suzume."
Jiro stood by the doorway and watched them without their knowing. He began to think about his hands as well. He thought about how, like Gold Wolf, his Gemini had produced synthetic human flesh around his body. "If mine was produced after I learned to sin, then why does Niro not have it? Is he missing something in his heart?"
Jiro then walked to the two and greeted them. "Hey, Dad. What's up?"
Jiro then said, "Do you mind if we talk alone for a bit alone?"
Niro turned to Suzume and she said, "It's okay. I'll be in the kitchen."
Once Suzume left the room, Jiro said to him, "Niro, before you left to destroy the Night headquarters...I wanted to tell you..."
"Dad," he interrupted, "Akira already told me about Uncle Ichiro and Uncle Rei. He also told me about Aunt Rieko and Aunt Bijinder."
"Well, that's not all. After I destroyed your uncles, I killed Gill, and this is what happened to me."
Jiro removed the glove from his hand and displayed the synthetic flesh that covered it. Niro examined the hand in awe. "You too?"
Jiro nodded and said, "It came with a price though. Since then, I spent the last ten years wandering around the country aimlessly. I did it because the evil heart generated from Gill's submission circuit was in constant conflict with my Gemini. I was tormented by the constant conflict between my good and evil hearts, and knowing that I killed a human to do it didn't make things any worse."
Niro then examined his father's eyes. "...So that's why you never came back. You let your guilt keep you from coming home."
Jiro nodded his head. "I just kept thinking that Mitsuko would never look at me the same way again if I told her that I murdered someone."
"Wait. 'If' you told her? As in you haven't told her yet?"
Jiro shook his head. "Even after all this time, I'm still afraid to tell her the truth."
The young android replied, "I can't say that I blame you. The guilt I felt after killing Sano is the reason why I left. And the worst part is that it still tears me apart. It wasn't until after I did it that I thought maybe there was something else that I could have done."
"You can't think like that, Niro."
Niro turned to his father as he continued. "You can't always think about the past or else you'll never be able to move forward. You can't think about what might have been and past regrets or else you'll never be able to move on after what happened then. That was my biggest problem, and I certainly don't want it to be yours."
Niro looked down at the ground. "But...how can I move on if I can't forgive myself?"
"You can't. It's impossible to forgive yourself of something you've done wrong. You can only either live in regret or move on. Forgiveness comes from those around you," Jiro replied.
Niro looked at his father. Jiro then said, "Take Suzume for example. You've deceived her for the past two years, she now knows about you killing Sano, and she still wants to be with you. That speaks volumes about the kind of friend you have."
Niro just looked at the kitchen doorway. Jiro then said, "She means a lot to you."
He nodded, but then the fell to his knees and clutched his head screaming. "No! It's happening again!"
Niro let out one final scream before he got back to his feet and his eyes became red with madness. Suzume ran to see what was going on only to find herself in the next instant at the receiving end of Niro's suffocating grip. Jiro tried what he could to get him to let go, but it didn't seem to be of any use. It wasn't until violin music began to play in the room that the mad machine released her and fell to his knees, grunting in resistance. All eyes were fixed to Rieko in her android form. Her red eyes glowed as the music kept playing. "Sorry, Cous, but it's the only thing I can do to restrain you."
After a while, the berserker effect wore off and Niro turned back to normal. He almost seemed to be breathing hard. "It happened again. What the heck is wrong with me?!"
Akira then came into the room and said, "I think your Gemini isn't working as efficiently as it used to."
All eyes turned to the young man as he continued, "Stress, pressure, and anxiety often affect the functions of the human body, especially the heart. I think the same thing here applies to you, Niro. The pain, anguish, and guilt after destroying your brother has dealt a heavy blow to your Gemini. It's causing your conscience circuit to not work as well as it should, and that's why you're prone to random acts of berserk violence. Unfortunately, since nothing is wrong connection-wise with the Gemini, this emotional problem is something you'll have to figure out how to deal with on your own."
"So you're saying nothing is wrong with me physically, but rather emotionally?"
Akira nodded and replied, "However, your emotional condition is effecting you physically. Frankly, I don't know what to tell you to fix the problem. Like I said before, you'll have to figure it out on your own."
Niro looked at the ground some more as he said, "Could you all just leave me alone for a little bit?"
Everyone just left the room except for one person other than Niro. Suzume walked to his side and looked at him. "Why do you want to stay with me?" he asked.
"Niro, no matter what, you're still my best friend, and that's why we have to stick together."
"But...Suzume...I nearly strangled you to death! I could have killed you! How can you stand the sight of me?!"
Suzume then looked deep into his eyes. For the first time, she saw the torture and nightmare that Niro had in his mind. "I know that what you did then wasn't really you. It was a manifestation of the guilt and pain you feel inside. I might not be able to understand what you're going through, but I'm still here for you."
Niro smiled at her and said, "Thank you for staying with me."
Suzume blushed for a little bit. After a few seconds, Niro asked, "By the way, how are you going to explain your absence to your parents?"
Meanwhile, Mitsuko and Masaru were outside with Suzume's father. "So let me get this straight. You're telling me that Suzume is taking some courses for the college you're studying at?"
Masaru replied, "It's something like that. Right now, she's spending some time there to get a feel for it. She'll be taking some classes, sleep in a dorm, and all that kind of stuff. Think of it like an extended college day."
"That's a new one on me," he said.
"It's a new program they're offering. Suzume's having a good time up there, but we need you're signature for continued participation. Rest assured, anything she misses in school will be excused," Masaru continued on.
"If you say so," he replied as he gave his signature.
Masaru then took the paper, smiled, and said, "Thank you, sir. I'll be sure to tell her the good news the next time I see her."
Mitsuko and Masaru then left the property, but before they left Mitsuko spoke up. "So you really think that the school will buy this whole extended college day program thing?"
Masaru shrugged, but he replied, "I guess they'd have to. We've got the guy's signature of approval. As long as they have that, I'm sure they'll buy anything."
"You're kidding, right?" Niro asked surprised.
"Hey, it was your uncle's idea! Besides, it doesn't sound too bad, does it?"
"I guess not," Niro responded.
Suddenly, there was a series of loud explosions that came from outside the house. "What was that?!" Suzume asked concerned.
"An attack!" was Niro's response.
He then ran outside quickly followed by Suzume. There they found a large pink and green android with a tube on the top of its head, two large tentacles, and the number 42 on its back. "Aha! There you are, 02!"
"Who are you?!" responded the disguised android.
"My name is Reaper Robot, and destroying you is going to be a blast!"
Reaper Robot soon launched a couple of explosive shells at the android, but he quickly dodged them. Niro then placed is hands on his shoulders and shouted, "CHANGE! 02!!"
Once again, Niro transformed into Kikaider 02 and readied himself for the fight. Reaper Robot launched more explosive shells at the dual-colored android, but he dodged them. 02 then came in close for hand-to-hand combat. After a couple of punches, Reaper Robot swung one of his tentacles down at him. 02 dodged the attack, but the ground exploded where the tentacle had hit it. "Oh man! If his tentacles can blow up anything he touches, then I've got to be careful!"
Meanwhile, the silver android watched over the fight. "Let's see how you fare, Kikaider 02."
Reaper Robot then charged at the heroic machine, but 02 flipped over him and kicked him in the back. This caused the monster to land right where Suzume was. After he got up, the strange android came up behind her and placed her tentacles right beside her. "Have you ever seen a human blow up, 02?"
"No! You wouldn't!" shouted back the symmetrical robot in fear.
"I will do what is necessary to destroy you," replied the monster.
Suzume had a look of tremendous fear because of the situation. When Reaper Robot was about to swing his tentacles down at her, the silver android drew his sword, ran between the monster and the girl with incredible speed, and sliced off the tentacles. "How dare you use a hostage!" he shouted angrily.
02 then shouted, "Suzume! Get out of the way!"
The teenage girl did so as Kikaider 02 brought his arms into an X position and blue electricity surrounded them. Then he ran at his target, screaming, "ELECTRO END!!!"
02 landed two quick slashes on Reaper Robot, and the monster exploded from destruction. 02 then looked at the sliver swordsman android with the bowl on his head and said, "Thanks for your help."
The silver android looked at him and replied, "I only did it to protect the lady. I didn't do it to protect you, 02."
"Huh?! So are you friend or foe?!"
The android sheathed his sword and said, "I am Waruder of the Night organization. I may have inadvertently saved you today, but next time you will not be so fortunate. The next time we meet, it will be as enemies on the battlefield."
With that, Waruder fled the scene. 02 went over to Suzume and asked, "Are you okay?"
Suzume nodded and placed her arms around the android. "I'm sorry for being so much trouble."
02 smiled at her and said, "It's okay. You're safe, and that's all that matters."
After saying that, 02 looked at the direction the samurai android ran and thought to himself, "She's safe because of him, but eventually, I'll have to fight him. Akira was right. Night isn't holding anything back now."
Back at the new Night station, Waruder knelt before Kuro and said, "I'm sorry to report that Reaper Robot was unable to destroy 02."
Kuro growled and replied, "He's just as annoying as ever. Waruder, I want you to handle his destruction."
"As you wish," he replied.
Suddenly, alert sirens went off all over the station. Kuro pulled up a screen on his display. "What's going on?!"
A man got on the screen and said, "My lord! Someone has broken into the Battleship's power station and has stolen the power source!"
"What?! Find out who stole the power source and bring him back!"
"Yes sir!" replied the man as he closed the monitor.
Kuro then thought to himself, "Whoever stole Hiroshi will not get away with this!"
A/N: Hey. Sorry for the slow updates, but I'm still trying to make this story as good as possible. Still like it? Love it? Hate it? Review it! And once again, thank you for all of the reviews you've been sending.
