Thanks for the reads and reviews thus far. If you still don't understand some things, it will most likely be cleared up in further chapters. Here goes chapter 5.

I took Talon to Alpha Omega, knowing that if someone can give me an answer to this mystery as to the birth of the Maverick Virus, it would be him. Slade followed me so that he can help me move Talon to the ship.

"Damn, he's one heavy pile of shit."

"I wonder what they feed these guys at the Maverick camps."

We walked along in silence, knowing that we could be watched. As we neared the location of Alpha Omega, I sensed something that didn't feel right. As if there was a great psychic force around the area. I stopped and looked around. Slade fell from Talon's weight. "What the fuck was that for? Hey, are you even paying attention to me? Alex, you okay?"

"Take him back to the ship and stay there. Something is around here and I'll try to take of it. Remember no one must find the ship. The secrets within its holds alone can not only end this planet but the rest of the universe. I'm entrusting you with that task because I know you can take care of everything. Just remember to keep an eye on your surroundings as you travel." I left him without even letting him speak. The faster I get to the disturbance and find out what it is, the faster I can get back to Slade and cover him incase something happens.

/Hey Alpha, when Slade gets there, don't let him out of the ship. He isn't strong enough to fight whatever is out here. Just cloak then go into orbit. I'll take care of the disturbance out here and if needed, I'll get my hunter buddies here.\

/As you wish Alex. I will scan the being he brings along and will force him to stay here.\

Meanwhile, unbeknownst to the Guyvers, someone witnessed the entire exchange.

Hmm, so our Intel was correct. There is relic around here. Better trail the little one and let the other one face my father.

I ran all the way to where I thought the psychic disturbance originated from. To my utter horror, a Zoalord was standing in one spot, as if waiting for me. "Hmm, so it is true. The original Guyvers managed to get an upgrade. So how have you been Guyver 3? How long has it been we've seen each other last? Centuries, right? Well, it's time for your demise."

I was shocked that he would say that I'm an arrogant asshole. "First off, I don't know you. Second, I'm not an arrogant asshole who wants to take over the world. Third, my name isn't Guyver 3, its Skyguyver. What are you doing in my neck of the woods anyway?"

"I doubt that very much. Fine, you must have amnesia or something. I'm Imakarum. I'm searching for a relic and since I've found you I guess my information was correct."

"You won't find it while I'm still alive. Guess I'll be the last person you see in this lifetime." I immediately shot off a couple of pressure cannons and started moving.

"Hmm, Cheap shot. You fight like Agito so you must have his armor somehow. How did you gain it? Tell me what I want to know. If you have Agito's armor then Sho's armor must be around as well. Is it within the relic?" While he was talking, he kept up a barrage of gravity bullets. Every time I managed to dodge one round, I got his with another. Damn, he is stronger than he looks. Why can't I dodge him? It's as if he can predict my movements. Could what he said be true? Am I really fighting like Agito?

Alex, I meant to tell you this but I am an upgraded version of Guyver 3's armor. Some remnant of him still resides in the armor but it still affects you. I can dampen the effects to a degree but if I do that I can't really help in determining his weakness. That's fine, Sky. As long as I can fight like me then maybe I have a chance. I need to try something anyway.

Imakarum noticed something different about his opponent and lessened his attack. He was shocked to see an image of Agito appear outside the armor which then seemed to shrink and vanish. He sensed a massive energy spike and thought of retreating. "Don't even think about running. I understand how you were able to hit me so often but now, you lost your edge. The remnants of Agito's mind are gone from his armor. Now it's me you're fighting." I doubled my speed instantly to get really close and started hitting him with chops, jabs, cross jabs, hooks, uppercuts, and roundhouses. I stopped my onslaught a moment to get my bearings when I was pushed back all of a sudden. "Hope you don't mind me bringing help. Ingriam, hopefully you found the relic." "Yes, father. I found it and here is a gift for your trouble." He tossed me Slade's head. Thankfully he was in his Guyver when he was killed. "Are you trying to see if I'm like Agito? A cold, heartless bastard who doesn't care if he killed his brother. Well, you got it all wrong. I'm going to kill you both for trying to kill my brother. First I'll kill you Ingriam. Then it will be your turn Imakarum."

As soon as the words were out of my mouth, I knocked Imakarum away and started my onslaught my Ingriam. He put up a fight and made me lose an arm when his father came back from my hit. "Another cheap shot, is that the only way you know how to fight?" I didn't even bother answering him. I just launching pressure cannons at the pair but they would stop at once they met the Zoalord's shields. I just kept on pumping pressure cannons towards them knowing that sooner or later the shields would fail. The Zoalords noticed my plan and started coming after me. Ingriam started launching sonic bullets which starting destabilizing my pressure cannons while Imakarum started charging up a black hole. "Get ready to die Guyver. This will certainly kill you!" He launched the black hole at me and waited for it to collide with me before they both teleported away. I can't die like this. I won't die like this. I still have more to do. I must protect my friends!

All of a sudden, I felt a strange power within me that started causing the black hole to shrink. I stood in wonder as it shrunk and then noticed that it was being absorbed by my gravity orb. The secrets the armor holds. I need to fully understand my armor if I am going to fight them again.

Aboard the Ark-

"I can't believe he is that strong. He could have killed me but you managed to come in the nick of time. Thank you son."

"No problem father. I felt your call for help and came as soon as possible. You would have done the same for me."

"True, but that won't be the last we hear of those two Guyvers. Maybe we can find a unit and then we can be stronger than them. It would seem that they get stronger with each fight they enter. We can't let them fight anymore zoanoids or else we will never be able to kill them."

"Alright father, I'll make sure that the council knows of the situation and takes the necessary steps to stop the Guyvers from gaining more power."

Imakarum walked out the room and entered one of the many processing labs aboard the Ark. "How is the specimen coming?" The scientist jumped at the interruption. He wasn't expecting to see Imakarum. "My lord, this new enzyme is coming along smoothly. I only need a piece of the Guyvers armor to test the strength of the acid. I will also make the acid reconstruct itself so that the Guyver can't build a weakness to it."

"Excellent. The Guyvers won't know what hit them this time. Keep me informed of the test subject."

Sorry for the wait. I've just been busy with school.

Cyblade Silver- Thanks for letting me use Ingriam. He will have an important part in the rest of my story.
