One hour later…
The Getter team, Saotome, Michiru, and Shikishima gathered around the soldier who was now seated in a folding chair and tied up with a twenty-foot-long rope. His helmet had been removed, showing pale greenish-blue skin. The soldier's eyes were pure yellow, his mouth a tiny slit on his otherwise barren face, and he had horns protruding from his skull.
"Who sent you?" Saotome asked.
"It's already too late." The soldier replied.
"Where did you come from?" Saotome asked.
"We will destroy you, and your puny race." The soldier said.
Ryoma roared and punched the soldier in the face as hard as he could, breaking his middle and ring finger from the force of the impact. "Just shut up and tell us who the hell you are already!"
The soldier laughed and then said "We are the Clan of a Hundred Demons, we are the final product of your feeble existence! We will march upon your skulls as a crimson moon hangs overhead, feasting on your entrails! We will wipe you from the face of this planet and destroy every record of your existence!"
"Jesus, forget I asked…" Ryoma said, clutching his hand.
"How do you hope to slaughter nine billion people, if you're of only a hundred in numbers?" Saotome asked.
The demon grinned and said "Because we have created great metal beasts, all they lack is the Getter Rays you have so selfishly hidden away from us. Once we have the Getter Rays, our mechanical beasts will be unstoppable!"
"Maybe, but they're no match for a Getter Robo!" Musashi chimed.
The demon's grin widened, seeming to tear open its own face. "We'll see." It said.
Just as these words left his mouth, the technician's voice sounded. "Unidentified robot spotted five miles away, and closing!"
Saotome quickly spat out the words "Getter, change!" and the pilots raced off towards their respective planes.
"Dad, I want to go too!" Michiru begged.
"Not yet, Michiru! You're not ready. Saotome replied.
As the three planes of the Getter team fired up and launched out of the hanger, Saotome turned to Shikishima. "Isn't it interesting how yet another otherworldly group is aware of the Getter Rays, and our research into them?"
"Quite interesting indeed." Shikishima replied.
"Do you think someone has been leaking information?" Saotome asked.
"No, I don't. if someone was, both groups would have known more about us. More about the Getter. But they didn't. they only knew about the Getter Rays, and where we were. If they were able to sense or track Getter Rays, it would have been quite easy to find us." Shikishima explained.
"CHANGE, GETTAH ONE!" Ryoma yelled as they grew close to the machine. The planes connected and began to transform into Getter 1, which continued to fly once the planes had finished the transformation.
The robot looked to be a giant metal panda, with black glass eyes, and a massive black sword. As Getter-1 grew close it was visible that the black parts of the panda, aside from the eye, were made of black fur. The white still seemed to be made of metal. The robot was made of both machinery, and organic material. The total size of the panda robot was only a few meters taller than the Getter-1.
Ryoma yelled "GETTAH, A!" and reached his hand into the air to grab onto the battle-axe.
The weapon landed perfectly in the Getter's hand, which quickly shot forward to parry the attack of the Panda, as it slashed the sword down. The Getter managed to hook the axe with the sword, and raise it into the air. Ryoma punched forward with his left hand, into the black fur of the panda. Blood splattered the Getter as its hand tore through its tissue.
The Getter's hand hit something blocking its path, and Ryoma grabbed ahold of the panda's metal spinal cord. He ripped his hand back, and the Getter ripped its own hand back, tearing the spine from the chest of the panda. Ryoma released his grasp, and the spine fell to the ground unleashing dust up to the Getter's ankles. The Panda collapsed a second later, not moving.
"Well, that was a quick fight." Ryoma said.
Three more panda robots appeared from nowhere, each brandishing a sword, surrounding the Getter. Before Ryoma could react, they slashed forward. The swords cut open the chassis of the Getter, causing oil to leak out of it like blood, but did not penetrate deep. Ryoma through both of his arms out, ripping through the metal bellies of the two pandas to his side, before slamming his arms together and crushing the torso of the Panda in front of him.
"Change, NOW!" Ryoma yelled, and the planes disconnected.
Musashi took the lead and yelled out, "Let's go GETTER THREE!"
The planes connected, and transformed into the tank like Getter 3 thousand of feet up. One Hayato had transformed his Getter-2, there was nothing to keep the Getter in the air. Getter-3 fell all the way down to the ground below, crushing the panda that Ryoma had hit in the sides into a bloody pancake, sending metal scraps through the plains.
Musashi quickly wrapped his arms around both remaining pandas, and lifted them up into the air. Once they were up and out of the way, Musashi set the Getter to squeeze down as hard as possible on them. Seconds later, it completely crushed their torsos and tore them in half. The four pieces of panda fell to the ground, dead.
"Well, that wasn't so bad." Musashi said.
"Please tell me you didn't just say that." Hayato asked.
Another techno-organic machine appeared far away from Getter-3, but straight ahead of it. It appeared to be a bipedal lizard, with hand claws, a steel torso, and steel wings. The lizard began to run forward, covering a mile in a single second. Musashi realized this was far too fast for him to keep up with, but it was too late. The lizard passed by, and a small explosion inside the Getter blew him back into his seat and made him cough up blood.
"Alright, change!" Musashi sputtered, and the planes flew into the air.
"Now it's my turn, change Getter TWO!" Hayato yelled, taking the lead.
"Don't screw this up," Ryoma chuckled as his plane connected with Musashi's.
Getter-2 formed and remained in the air, looking down at the lizard as it raced around in a circle, waiting for Hayato to come down. Unfortunately, it was moving too fast for Hayato to simply fire his drill at it. The targeting wasn't even picking the lizard up.
Getter-2 fell to the ground, landing perfectly on its feet. The lizard raced forward, intent on slicing the Getter in half. Hayato was too fast however, and thrusted his drill forward, tearing through the lizard's chassis. The lizard grabbed at the drill after being impaled, and Hayato pulled a trigger. The drill began to turn, and quickly tore off the lizard's hands as it spun at insanely fast speeds only a second after beginning.
Hayato released the trigger and allowed the lizard's corpse to fall, and waited for another enemy to come. None did. "Alright, doctor. Shall we return?" Hayato asked.
"Return!? What are you talking about, there's still one more!" Saotome yelled.
"What!? Where!?" Hayato asked, looking around in all directions, but not finding any enemies in sight.
"Hayato, beneath you!" Shikishima yelled into the microphone.
Getter-2 leaped into the air, but Hayato's reaction and Shikishima were too late. A massive ape hand grabbed onto the Getter's legs. Ryoma pulled himself low to avoid the indenting metal as it squeezed down, and Hayato yelled out for the pilots to release. They all disconnected, and flew up into the air, now free of the ape's grip. Ryoma took the lead.
Below them the ape pulled itself up onto the surface. Its left arm was a massive drill, similar to Getter-2's, its legs were made of steel and mirrored that of a reptile more than an ape's, and both of its eyes looked like massive security cameras.
"CHANGE, GETTAH ONE!" Ryoma roared, and his pilots fell in line behind him.
Getter-1 formed, and fell to the ground below. The Getter landed, feet first, into the face of the ape, forcing it to the ground. Ryoma pulled his left foot up, preparing to stomp the ape's brains out. Before he could however, the ape grabbed ahold of the Getter's leg and pulled it down to the ground, changing the outcome of the victory.
Still clutching the left leg, the ape grabbed ahold of the Getter's body, and then grabbed ahold of the other leg as well. Then it pulled. Michiru stared on in terror from Saotome's laboratory, while the scientists could only look in in awe. Musashi blacked out as he was torn from his comrades, his Getter practically destroyed with pieces of metal and glass now piercing him.
"MUSASHI!" Ryoma screamed, attempting to pull his right arm back and punch at the ape. The ape grabbed ahold of the Getter's arm before the punch could land however, and it put all of its strength into its grip.
"Give it up, Ryoma… we've lost." Hayato said.
"NO!" Ryoma yelled back. "We can still change, and," he was cut off by Hayato.
"Change and then my Getter explodes, killing both of us. The best we can do is wait and hope it thinks we're dead." Hayato coldly stated.
The ape tore off Getter-1's arm, and then place its hand onto the Getter's head. Ryoma quickly pulled a lever on his seat, and was lowered into the chassis of the Getter, directly above Hayato's Getter. The ape squeezed down, tearing off the right head spike and crushing the glass. As Ryoma said a prayer to every god he could think of, and Hayato made peace with himself, they vanished.
