Here is the next installment in the series. Have fun reading it:

Before you start, your problem is not my fault. I only upgraded you abilities. Talk to your unit for an explanation.
Aptom glared at his image in the mirror that appeared at AlphaO's command.
/Sorry for the change, Aptom. But you upgrade would only give you 50 more power if you were still male. But now, it gives you 100 more with an extra 50 more during...\
"Shut it, I don't want to hear it...Wait a minute, I'm a full-fledged female now?"
The image of Aptom in the mirror got on its knees in a pleading manner. Aptom looked like he was going to break something.
"Ummm, Aptom, you know that we have to change your name right?" I said as I looked into the infirmary from the hallway.
"What do you mean, Alex?"
"Well, we don't want our enemies to know you're a girl now. The best bet would be to change your name and stop using your original powers. That could be our trump card if anything goes bad. I know we should call you Serenity."
"Why? There's nothing serene about me."
"That's the point. You become as your name suggests and keep Aptom on a short leash within. This way Aptom would be readily accessible."
"Or I could split myself in two and the other half can become Aptom once more. Alex, you're a genius."
"No, I'm not. I got my moments though."
I decided to leave Aptom to his own devices and went for a walk in the nearby woods.
After 2-3 hours of wandering aimlessly and lost in thought, I suddenly stopped. Bewildered by the sudden stop, I noticed the eerie silence emanating between the elm, oak, holly, and ash wood trees all around me.
Nothing stirred, as if everything was holding it's breath for this one moment. I sensed movement to my left through the trees so I turned to the shadow before me.
There before me, walking into a moonbeam was a gorgeous woman.
"Hello Alpha, my master sends his regards."
I was spellbound, seeing her there. She was dressed in a finely made gossamer kimono. But, by standing in the moonbeam, it appeared as if she had nothing on.
She was curved in all the right places and had no flaws.
"So, Alpha, like what you see?"
"Yes, I do. What is your name, miss? Who is your master?"
"MY name is unimportant. My master is known as Omega."
I stood in shock. I couldn't believe that such a gorgeous creature is a servant to that abomination.
"What does your master want from me?"
"He wishes to meet you, Alpha, and talk. He does not wish you harm."
"I will think on the offer. How do I give you my response?"
All of a sudden, the woods became alive once more. As if, they noticed the threat had vanished.
"You shall know soon enough. Till next time, fair well Alpha."
The woman stepped out of the moonbeam and seemed to instantly vanish. I thought about searching for her, but I knew it was pointless.
I walked on, thinking about the encounter with the image of perfection and the request. I entered a clearing, an hour after the encounter, and decided to lie down. I looked at the stars hoping they could give me an answer. But instead, they sent me a battle.
"There you are Guyver3. We've been expecting you."
From between the trees, came 5 men. They looked like normal thugs until I took in there uniform.
"Damn it, should have known I was been followed. What do you want from me?"
One of them, an average height muscle head, walked forward and just stared.
"We want your control medal and the location of the relic."
I thought I recognized that voice, but being preoccupied as I was, I couldn't place it.
"Sorry, but you aren't getting either of them. Go back to Chronos and tell them to leave me alone."
The brutes all transformed. One of them looked like a rhino, another looked like a beetle, another a squid, another like a regular guy but with some really big shoulders, and the last didn't have any hands just two fingers. One finger longer than the other anyway.
"We are the Hyper Zoanoid Team Five. Get ready to meet your maker."
"I already met him, he's an oddball but hey, you can't choose your maker."

On
the other side of the planet:
"So, Chronos has decided to
show their hand. Good, let's me see how strong Alpha really is. This
should be good. Thank you for sending him my message dear."
"No, thank you master for sending me to give him the message. I hope he lives to your expectations."
The woman in the gossamer kimono left her master's side to ponder her encounter with Alpha.
'Why did Alpha seem so familiar? It's as if I already knew him. Just another mystery to add to my long list of mysteries.'

Who is woman? What mysteries does she know? All will be answered soon.
