Android Kikaider 02: The Fanfiction
Disclaimer: I do not own Kikaider, Kikaider 01, or characters and plot thereof. However, I do own the original characters and plot in this story, so if I catch you using any of my characters...well, I'm not sure what I can do, but please don't. Granted it hasn't happened yet, but what the hey. I needed to put something somewhat amusing in here.
At a Night facility, Gold Hakaider was lying down on an observation table with mechanical arms operating on the internal hardware underneath the chest plate. Once they were done, the arms pulled away except for one which closed the armor and then left. Waruder then said, "Installation complete at 100 percent, Master."
Gold Hakaider then laughed and said, "Excellent. With the data that Shadow Mummy collected from Akira, everything will fall into place. I will have Akira back, fix him, destroy 02, begin tests with the Battleship, and run business at an unprecedented level."
---Losing Control---
Akira sat at his computer clacking away on his keyboard. On the monitor, there was a design of the Gemini conscience circuit. Rieko knocked on the door, but he didn't respond. "Akira, you've been at it for a while now. Why don't you take a break?"
He didn't stop. Rieko then walked behind him and said, "Come on, Akira. Staring at that monitor isn't good for your eyes."
Rieko then saw a look of determination that she had never seen before. "Akira, are you mad at me for going?"
"No," Akira replied.
Rieko heaved a sigh of relief before asking, "Then what are you doing?"
"I'm studying the Gemini system. One way or the other, I'm going to figure out how to fix Niro's condition. There has to be something!"
"Why are you getting so worked up about this now? You said yourself that there was nothing you could do."
"There has to be something! Niro went berserk because it was induced on him! If Night keeps this tactic up, then we're sunk!"
"Hey, I can hold my own. Next time..."
"There might not be a next time, Rieko!!" Akira shouted interrupting her.
Rieko was taken back by this until she saw the tears streaming down Akira's eyes. "If there is a next time, then Niro would be lost, you would be dead, and I don't know what I'd do if I lost you."
He then turned to her and said, "I love you too much to think about that."
Rieko quickly kissed him. Akira closed his eyes and returned the kiss. They held on to each other and broke the kiss. "I'm sorry for worrying you, Akira, but I worry about you too. I worry about you possibly overworking yourself over every little thing. Now let's go back upstairs. I think Hiroshi's looking for someone to play with."
"Well, what about Misao?" Akira asked.
"She said she had something important to do. I don't know what it was, but she had a map in her hand at the time," Rieko said in response.
"Okay," Akira replied as the two went back upstairs.
Niro sat on the couch in the living room by himself in a contemplating matter. Jiro then came into the room and greeted his son. Niro jolted out of his mental state and turned to his father. "Sorry. You surprised me."
"Is something wrong?" Jiro asked concerned.
"I was thinking about the battle with Strong Scorpion," the younger android replied.
"Why is that still on your mind?"
"Well...Dad, he took control of my mind! My Gemini should have been able to block it out since it's complete, but he took control anyway, and Rieko couldn't pull me out of it! I knew that my Gemini's functioning capabilities were bad, but nothing like this!"
Jiro sighed and said, "I'm sorry, but the only thing that I can tell you is that your Gemini is going to have to find a way to fix itself. There's nothing that any of us can do. You'll just have to wait until it evolves again."
"Wait until it evolves again? I can't wait! That's the problem! Night has figured out that I can be manipulated! Who's to say they won't try again?!"
"You're acting like a child. Why are you so impatient about your next evolution?"
"Because the answer is right in front of me, and I don't know what it means!"
Jiro looked at his son and saw the frustration he had on his face. "Maybe I can help you with the answer."
Niro looked at the ground and then said, "While I was in system shutdown after the fight with Shadow Golem, I had these weird visions come across my mind."
"A dream?" Jiro asked.
"Yeah. At first, everyone was telling me how dreams could reveal anything. Then everybody started talking about emotions and how they don't make sense."
"That sounds kind of strange," the older android replied.
"Yeah, but that's not the weirdest part. Towards the end of the dream, Suzume appeared and kept asking me if I wanted her to complete me, and I have no idea what the heck she meant by that."
"Oh," Jiro replied.
Jiro began to think for a minute about this. "Maybe this has something to do with why he hasn't become human yet. I had to kill Gill to become human, but he's killed his own brother, and nothing has happened yet," he thought to himself.
"Wait a minute," he continued to think, "I learned to love before I came to know hate. However, Niro has lived for two years without doing anything wrong. He's never needed compassion, mercy, or anything like that. Maybe he doesn't realize just what love is yet."
"Niro," he finally started up again, "how do you feel about Suzume?"
"Huh?" Niro replied stumped.
"How do you feel about her? How far does your friendship really go?" he asked again.
Niro looked at his father and found himself unable to really give a good answer. "I...I don't know."
"How far would you go for her?"
"I don't know."
"How much do you care about her?"
"I don't know!
"What would you do for her?"
Something in Niro snapped as he replied sharply, "Anything!!"
Jiro smiled. "Now we're getting somewhere."
"Huh? I don't get it," he replied in confusion.
"Okay then, how about this? How do you feel about her?"
"Well," Niro started off hesitantly, "I feel like...I mean...It's just that....Crud. I don't know how to describe it."
"Try using your heart rather than your mind," Jiro suggested.
Niro nodded and closed his eyes. "I feel...calm around her. A certain serenity every time she's near me. It's like a happiness that I've never known before. And it scares me every time that something tries to steal that happiness from me. I would...lay down my life just to keep holding on to it."
Jiro listened intently as he continued. "I also feel like there's something that keeps us together. This strange and incredible bond between us. I can't describe it, but it has still kept us together through all the dangers, deceptions, and revelations."
"Wait. I do have one question. When Strong Scorpion took control of you, how did you regain control if Rieko couldn't pull you out?" Jiro asked.
Niro replied, "Suzume pulled me out of it."
Suddenly, a strange tune echoed through the ears of every android. Rieko turned her head looking around to see where it was coming from. Hiroshi was distracted from a checkers game he was having with Akira. Jiro fearfully recognized the tune as the song that would play from Gill's control flute. That's when he turned to his son, who was closing his ears with his hands screaming in pain. "No! Not again!"
Niro then made a mad dash out of the house and fell to his knees in pain. Jiro followed and called for Rieko's assistance. However, once she got there, it was already too late. Niro stood back upright and glared at his father and cousin with mad red eyes. The sound of the control flute still echoed through as he attacked Jiro. He tried to retaliate, but Niro evaded every one of his attacks and kicked him in the stomach. Rieko then transformed into her android form, extended her palms to her cousin, and the jewels on them began to glow. "Don't make me do this! Fight it!"
Niro then ran at her as she shouted, "RIEKO LASER!!!"
She fired off an energy wave at him, but he quickly jumped high into the air above it and kicked her in the head. "This isn't right! This isn't Niro going berserk! He's fighting as effectively as he would be transformed!" she thought to herself.
Jiro got back up again and pressed his hands against his shoulders. "SWITCH ON!!"
Jiro quickly transformed into Kikaider and charged at Niro. Rieko quickly followed suit, and the two began a double-team attack on the young android. However, the attacks were proving to not be as effective as they hoped as Niro continued to hold his own against them. As the fight kept on, Akira and Hiroshi came out of the house to observe the commotion. "What the heck is going on?!" he shouted to them
Kikaider replied, "Somebody is using Gill's flute to control Niro again!"
"What?!" Akira responded.
As the three of them continued to fight, Rieko added, "Yeah, and here's the weird thing! We've been at this for a little while now, and the user hasn't even stopped to take a breath!"
"Huh? How could..." Akira thought aloud until he was interrupted by Hiroshi tugging on his shirt.
When he turned to the small power source, he was pointing in a certain direction. "Is that where the flute is coming from?"
Hiroshi nodded and Akira called out to Kikaider and Rieko. "Hiroshi says that the sound is coming from your right!"
"I'm on it!" Rieko replied as she broke away from the fight.
As she moved to the right, she saw a man playing on a strange flute. "Hold it right there!" she shouted.
Kuro Atogama looked at her and continued to play. She then charged at him ready to punch him, but he stepped to the side, removed the flute from his mouth, and elbowed her right into the ground. Niro suddenly came back to his senses and looked at his hands. "What happened? What am I doing?"
Kikaider replied, "We can worry about that later. Right now, we need to find Rieko."
And so, the father and son took off into the direction Rieko went off to. When they got there, they found Rieko helplessly trying to fight Kuro. "Kuro!" Niro shouted.
Kuro smacked Rieko away again once more and looked at him. "That's Lord Kuro to you," he said as he began playing his flute again.
As he played it, he noticed that something was wrong. The flute wasn't affecting Niro anymore. Niro then placed his hands on his shoulders and shouted, "CHANGE! 02!!"
Niro then transformed into Kikaider 02 and charged at Kuro. Kuro stepped to the side, but 02 stopped just short and roundhouse kicked the head of Night. "The flute! It's not working! Why isn't it working?!"
"It's my Gemini, Kuro! I may be able to be controlled due to its lack of functioning capability, but my Gemini is still complete none the less! You can't control me the same way twice!"
Kuro chuckled and said, "It appears that I have underestimated you once again, 02."
Kuro then transformed into Gold Hakaider and then said, "However, I've learned from some of my past mistakes!"
Suddenly, Gold Hakaider's brain casing began to take on a golden glow. 02 watched in shock. "It can't be!"
"That's right, 02. Now I have the same power overdrive ability as you. By implanting the Gemini's generator half into my body and connecting it to my brain, I completely made the emotional processor useless!"
"Your power is just as false as you are!" he replied as he charged at him.
All of 02's attacks, however, proved to be useless against him. "The human heart is nothing more than a weakness! It limits our true potential, and that's why I can summon my new power at will!"
"That's not power!" Kikaider 02 replied as he withdrew his hands into his arms.
Gold Hakaider laughed as he drew his blaster. "How quickly we forget whose blaster I'm using along with this new power."
Kikaider 02 chose to ignore this comment as he fired and yelled, "TWIN BLASTER!!!"
In response, Kuro fired and yelled, "TRIPLE BUSTER!!!"
Although both energy blasts collided with each other, the Twin Blaster was quickly overpowered, and 02 received a critical amount of damage. "Niro! No!" Jiro shouted in worry.
As 02 lay on the ground unconscious and reverting back to Niro Komyoji, Gold Hakaider held the gun to his body. "This is the end, Kikaider 02."
"Master! Wait!" a shout came.
Gold Hakaider then turned around and saw Waruder jump from the trees. "Please, Master, let me finish him off as your commandment."
Gold Hakaider sighed and said, "Very well. I will return to the base. I expect to hear from you very soon, Waruder."
Gold Hakaider then reverted back to Kuro Atogama and walked off. Once Kuro was out of earshot, Rieko then said, "I thought it wasn't your style to kick a man when he's down!"
Waruder then said, "Indeed, it is not. I want the two of you to take him in and repair him. Our next battle will be our last."
A/N: I'm very very very very very sorry for not updating in a long time. Please don't kill me! Anyway, what Tenniyo said was true. This story will extend to only four more chapters, and then it's over with. Now I'm just trying to figure out how to get there, and that's why this one took me so long to do. Anyway, please keep an eye open for the next update, and please review!

"What?!" Akira responded.
As the three of them continued to fight, Rieko added, "Yeah, and here's the weird thing! We've been at this for a little while now, and the user hasn't even stopped to take a breath!"
"Huh? How could..." Akira thought aloud until he was interrupted by Hiroshi tugging on his shirt.

"I'm on it!" Rieko replied as she broke away from the fight.
As she moved to the right, she saw a man playing on a strange flute. "Hold it right there!" she shouted.
Kuro Atogama looked at her and continued to play. She then charged at him ready to punch him, but he stepped to the side, removed the flute from his mouth, and elbowed her right into the ground. Niro suddenly came back to his senses and looked at his hands. "What happened? What am I doing?"
Kikaider replied, "We can worry about that later. Right now, we need to find Rieko."
And so, the father and son took off into the direction Rieko went off to. When they got there, they found Rieko helplessly trying to fight Kuro. "Kuro!" Niro shouted.
Kuro smacked Rieko away again once more and looked at him. "That's Lord Kuro to you," he said as he began playing his flute again.
As he played it, he noticed that something was wrong. The flute wasn't affecting Niro anymore. Niro then placed his hands on his shoulders and shouted, "CHANGE! 02!!"
Niro then transformed into Kikaider 02 and charged at Kuro. Kuro stepped to the side, but 02 stopped just short and roundhouse kicked the head of Night. "The flute! It's not working! Why isn't it working?!"
"It's my Gemini, Kuro! I may be able to be controlled due to its lack of functioning capability, but my Gemini is still complete none the less! You can't control me the same way twice!"
