Wild Star Knight Etherias Chapter 3: Case File 003: Fiery Rescue!, a metal hero series/メタルヒーローシリーズ fanfic

Welcome to Wild Star Knight Etherias Chapter 3. This chapter focuses on the Special Rescue teams. These particular teams, Winspector, Solbrain, and Exceedraft, had their own series, where they each dealt with specific types of crimes, and hazards. Each Episode was the focus of a specific case, and in each, the teams would usually show off their cool gadgets, from flying androids to armored suits to tools for rescuing lives.

To that end, Kurogane is gonna be taking on the case of the terrorist attack on a secret UN Summit about the recent attacks from Mars. However, DARK has other plans, and intends to kill each member, sowing chaos around the world. In order to complete this task, Kaena has authorized the unleashing of Dark Energy Beast Hydrox.

Monster Name: Dark Energy Beast Hydrox

Combat Type: Technical (I don't know the others, so I made mine own up. Technical types are the smartest (which says a lot) out of the beasts, though still incapable of speech. They often rely on technology and ranged attacks in combat, but can fight melee, though weak phyisicaly.)

Basis: Hydrox is based, of course, on the hydra, the legendary 3 headed dragon.

Features: It's heads are used as shoulder pads, able to fire out "Emotion" bullets, and it's main red one can fire out flame like mad. It's humanoid shaped, but with gladiator like armour.

Akuma Dimension Form: He actually turns into a giant golden pot-which then summons about 15 giant hydra heads into it, each able to fire out different powers.

Mission Parameters for DARK: Mainly as Cleanup Crew. The hostages left in the burning area would end up attracting Etherias, so Hydrox was sent to dispose of him and the hostages.

Special Skills: Hydrox is more of a coward, using his flames to dispose of opponents-but he's anything but useless. Able to switch his heads with his shoulders, he can turn into the green Hydrox Muscle, a stronger and brutish stance, and the elegant blue Hydrox Illusion, a fast and fencing like stance that can strangely enough talk. His fighting style(s) consist of mostly brutish bar fighting. His normal stance takes karate for a spin, but can get angry and charge at the opponent, while his green head can master judo in minutes, often why his opponents are left flying. Finally, his blue stance is a master of the rapier, but is also able to create ice constructs to mess with his opponents minds.

(Props to the Ultraman holder of the 'Toku Heroes Unite' set, Gadget the Circuit)

Also, come to think of it, I never explained the Combat types. I honestly forgot about those. Well, to help with this, here is my favorite Space Sheriff, Retsu to help explain this.

Retsu- "Glad to help."

Exiakaiser: First off, let's start with Technical Type, like the one being shown in today's episode. Technical Type Combatants are good with technology and ranged combat, but are weak at close quarters combat. Their lack of speech is made up in intelligence.

Retsu: That's true, but never mistake intelligence for the will to win, or courage for that matter.

Exiakaiser: Next type is the Predatory Type. These focus solely on close-quarters and have only basic intelligence. However, what they lack in smarts, they make up in sheer ferocity. They are brutal warriors, using teeth, claws and tail as weapons.

Retsu: Their trait comes from the background as monsters that preyed on humans for eons. However, their ferocity is sometimes their greatest weakness. Like stated, they are powerful, but not too bright.

Exiakaiser: Third is the Tactical Type, like last episodes Tengu. These are specialists in planning their attacks right down to the last strike.

Retsu: Sometimes, Tactical Type Combatants use dirty tricks, like Tengu did. However, most are honest, at least giving their opponent a chance to figure out how to survive.

Exiakaiser: Fourth Type in the list is the Knight Type- the type I respect the most. Knight Types are powerful warriors who prefer close quarter combat, but are unwilling to resort to unfair advantages. They are honorable warriors, never attacking from behind, and they respect their opponents.

Retsu: There is a single subtype in this series called 'Dark Knight' Types who don't follow the same rules as their more generalist brethren, but we will get into subtypes in a later story.

Exiakaiser: Well said, Retsu, and finally, there is the most dangerous type, the Dragon Type. (Shudders) Dragon Type Combatants are the worst, as they are huge, and more powerful than the other four types. They are not only intelligent, but ferocious, good at long range and melee attacks, and can speak. However, when they speak, their language can be almost hateful.

Retsu: A rare occurrence, seeing that dragons are harder to find these days.

Exiakaiser: Thank you, Retsu, see you later in the chapter.

And, without further ado, let's get this show on the road. Disclaimer is the same as usual.

"So," said Guild Leader Joe, sitting down next to a computer screen, "You want me to send one of my soldiers into the fray?"

"Yes," said Kaena, "As per the deal, as long as you are still alive, serve me, and should my task be completed, you will get the spoils of any battle you win, as well as technical parts to your liking."

"Very well," said Joe, twirling a pair of stress balls in one hand. "I will send Hydrox to Earth. However, why not kill two birds with the same stone? There is a meeting of all the representatives of the world in Japan to discuss the World's current state of affairs, Why not have him attack the meeting, and this will lure Etherias out and force him to try to rescue all of them. When that happens, Hydrox will definitely kill him."

Kaena thought about this for a few minutes than said, "Make it happen."

-24 hours later-

UN Summit

"These actions by this DARK group have gone on far enough," said the British representative, "They must be dealt with and fast!"

"Agreed," said the Russian rep, "It's a total bother to deal with them."

However, as the talks kept on, the building shook, as a small explosion shook the building's foundations. "What in the world," asked the US representative.

All of a sudden, a small army of Megars stormed into the room and killed three of the representatives.

"What in the blazes is going on," asked the French Representative.

"May I have your attention please," said a voice over the loud speakers. "This place is being taken over by DARK. To ensure none of you can leave here, we have blocked off the ground floor and the underground car parks by blowing them up. Also, the only way out to the roof is blocked as well."

"What is the meaning of this," asked the Japanese rep.

"You'll see," said the voice, "Soon enough."

(Opening theme- Doubt & Trust by Access)

(Instrumental)

(The Metal Hero-) The many Metal Heroes appear in a group.

(A group of long-forgotten heroes who fought to protect our world from evil) They fight their respective villains and bosses.

(However, they were forgotten by those whom they saved time and again) Then, the images of battle disappear, leaving a black background.

(But now, a new legend is about to be written, as the Metal Heroes return) All of a sudden, a new picture appears as Kurogane, wearing his SKIP Uniform, holds a deck of cards.

(Now, with deck in hand, and justice in heart,) The camera focuses on the twin braces on his arms.

(A new hero rises to shape his world in the never growing battle between order and chaos) Kurogane holds places the cards in his deck box and does his Wild Star Change.

[owari mo miezu hashiri nukeru] Kurogane stands in front of the city he is working in, looking down at the people.

[yasuragi wa tooku sugata mo naku] Kurogane walks among the people, looking like a lone wolf.

[kodoku o fuujikomete] Images of the murder of Kurogane's father, and his training as a Star Knight Intergalactic Patrolman.

[tozashikakeru manazahi] Kurogane and Marianna are in the Metal Hero Exhibit, looking at the different Metal Heroes, as the many cards of them appear beside each.

[habataku mono o mukaeru sora] Kurogane and Marianna both stand in front of the SKIP Flag, and salute.

[shihaisareru no o osoreyashinai] Exxion and the Staff of the Jupiter SKIP branch salute.

[akogareru mabayusa wa] Kaena and the forces of DARK appear.

[subete o kaeru tame ni] Kaena grabs a hologram of Earth in her clutches.

[dare mo yurusazu ni] Kurogane then raises his right hand in the air, and places his left in the opposite direction. He then rotates them in opposite directions slowly, as his breath slows to a crawl.

[doko e yukeru darou] Kurogane then completes his pose, and calls out, "WILD STAR CHANGE!" With this, he reaches his left hand to the Star Brace on his right arm and presses a button on the Brace, transforming him into Wild Star Knight Etherias.

[hikari no moto Yami wa umare] Etherias then stands in front of Kaena and her many Minions. He then starts to fight a few.

[shinjitsu wa itsuwari ni yureru] The Galawin, Etherias' Battle Cruiser transforms into Battle Giant Galawin, complete with sword and shield, and fights some of the giant beasts.

[kokoro o tsukisasu] One of the monsters Etherias is fighting gets a lucky blow in and Kurogane pulls out a Metal Hero Card, swipes it in the right gauntlet, becoming Jiban.

[fureta yoru o Koorasete mo] He then activates the Autoderringer effect and fires it, destroying a large group of monsters.

[yume to iu Yokubou no kage o] Etherias then returns to normal mode, and pulls out his Quasar Blade, his signature weapon.

[yobitsuzukeru] He charges it up and goes into his Quasar Slash attack, cutting down another group of beasts.

[kimi no tsumi to itami o] He then rushes towards Kaena, Quasar Blade at the ready.

[shinjite iku ] The two clash, leading to a white explosion of light.

Casebook 003

Fiery Rescue!

Opponent- Dark Energy Beast Hydrox!

"Dammit," said Kurogane, traveling down an air shaft, "How did this happen?"

"Ask SKIP," said Marianna, safe in the Galawin, "They told us to assist in this situation."

"And that explains why I am here," said Kurogane, in an air shaft. "It looks like everywhere aside from the air shafts were all blocked up going in. I need an exit from this place. I hate tight spaces."

"There is a grate about 12 meters in front of you," said Marianna, "It should lead you to the 12th floor of the building."

Kurogane crawled on his stomach for about 12 meters, and then saw the grate, and knocked it out of the hole it was in and crawled out. He hated tight spaces, part of his training being focused on overcoming. "I'm in," he then said, pulling out his sidearm and activating it, "Where are the hostages?"

"Getting that information as we speak," said Marianna, "Also, Retsu-san wants to know what he can do to help."

"Keep the enemy from escaping," said Kurogane, running to a corner. "I will handle them from inside. Just tell me where I need to be."

"5 floors down," said Marianna, sending him the data, "Most of the hostages are on the 7th floor. However, the enemies are patrolling the rest of the floors. Be careful, I am getting readings similar to monsters you have already fought."

"Damn," said Kurogane, annoyed, "So DARK was responsible for this. And to make matters worse, they have a Dark Energy Beast with them. Looks like Etherias will need to be used here after all."

"Be very careful," commented Marianna, "We never fought inside a building in Academy Training, remember?"

"Better get on the horn and tell central command to add this to the training regimen in case of emergencies," remarked Kurogane, reaching a corner. "Any enemies around the corner?"

"Three," said Marianna, "However, they are grunt-class units. Make it quiet, and you should get by without drawing attention."

Kurogane, switched his blaster to silent takedown mode, and a silencer popped into place. He then turned the corner and fired 3 blasts and rapid succession. All three reacted too slowly, as the three blasts connected, hitting them in the head for a silent takedown. "Moving towards the stairs," said Kurogane, rushing past, "Keep me posted on enemies as I go."

"Will do," said Marianna, "Be careful."

-Meanwhile-

"We just lost contact with Squad 5 on the 12th floor," said one of the Megars running the communications set, "Should we send a squad to investigate, commander?"

"No need," said the voice, "Hydrox will intercept him when he reaches the 5th floor. The rest of you continue work setting the traps."

Elsewhere, a group of Megars were setting charges all over the Hotel, placing them so that the damage support beams, and setting them to explode when remotely activated.

"Here you go, Hydrox," said one of the Megars, handing Hydrox a small remote detonator, "Should you lose, press the button, and not only will you kill Etherias, but everyone in a 5 block radius, give or take a few blocks."

Hydrox said nothing, grunting in response, as he took the remote.

-5 minutes later-

"Now at the 5th floor," said Kurogane, opening the door to the stairwell, "Where are the hostages, Galawin?"

"8th room to the left," said Marianna, "However, I am now detecting radio waves. They seem to be heading in different direction...Kurogane, please be advised. We have a potential bomb situation! Code 33-27-B!"

"Understood," said Kurogane, "Where are the signals originating from?"

"The 12th room on the right," said Marianna, "Want me to ask Gavan to try to disarm the bombs?"

"Scan one and tell me if it has a timer on it," said Kurogane, "Then we will see what needs to be done."

"Roger," said Marianna, activating the scanners, "Negative on the timer. Shall I get Gavan?"

"Yes," said Kurogane, "Have him take one and figure it out. Then, if they can't be disarmed, lock onto them and transport them into the sun. With any luck, they will fry and not do anything too bad."

"So, what task would you like to take care of first," asked Marianna.

"Before I take the monster out," said Kurogane, strategizing, "We gotta clear those hostages. Set up a Waypoint."

Waypoint- A SKIP device designed to be a portable teleportal in case of emergency evacuations. However, they can only take one person at a time."

"Waypoint set up," said Marianna, "It's on the 8th floor. You gotta escort them to it."

"Roger," said Kurogane, "Beginning extraction."

With that, he rushed out the door, and to the left. There was a lot of resistance between him and the hostages, but he managed to take down everyone in the way, blasting them with his sidearm. However, after a few dozen shots, it required a recharge, so he switched to CQC tactics, pulling out a shock blade, and taking out the rest.

"Ladies and gentlemen," he said, "Pardon the intrusion, but I am here to rescue you. If you will kindly wait here for a few minutes, I should be able to escort you to safety."

"How did you get here," said the American representative, "From the ground floor?"

"From the roof," said Kurogane, slashing a few of the Megars that tried to attack him, then drop kicking another one that rushed him. "However, an easier means awaits us on the 8th floor. I know we are going up, but trust me. I have a plan already in motion. Etherias-1 to Galawin-2. I need a distraction. Can you lay down fire on the room where the Dark Energy Beast is?"

"Roger," said Marianna, "How powerful do you want it?"

"Just shake their nerves and don't let them escape," said Kurogane, switching channels, "Etherias-1 to Gavan-3- How are the bombs? Can you disarm them?"

"It's impossible," said Retsu, looking at one. "I wouldn't even know where to begin."

"Roger," said Kurogane switching channels again, "Transport all bombs to Galawin, then into the sun."

All over the building, a series of magnetic mines were set all at key positions, on walls that had a support brace right over it. However, all of a sudden, a series of blue energy shields covered each, and transported them.

-1 minute later-

-In the sun-

There was a small explosion, as a series of explosives went off. However, the resulting explosion caused no damage.

-Meanwhile-

"Sir," said the communications Megars, "We lost contact with the explosives!"

"Dammit," said the voice, "Activate the traps! If we can't bring the building down, we will do as much damage as possible! Make it impossible to get out of here!"

"BY YOUR COMMAND," yelled out the Megars, as one of them flipped a switch.

The place shook, as if struck by a huge hammer. Everywhere, explosives were going off, and rubble started closing off everything.

"What the hell was that," asked Kurogane, leading the hostages to the 8th floor. All of a sudden, some rubble fell on the stairs just above, blocking them from the next floor.

"Concealed explosives," said Marianna, "They were set up to block your path to the bottom, should you safely reach the hostages. Get out of there, Kurogane. You are gonna get crushed."

"Can't," said the Japanese representative, "The stairs are blocked behind us as well."

"I am gonna have to use my Armor," said Kurogane, "It's a good thing planned on this."

"What do you mean," asked the German representative, "Use what?"

Kurogane then raised his right hand in the air, and placed his left in the opposite direction. He then rotated them in opposite directions slowly, as his breath slowed to a crawl. When his right arm was about to reach its original position, he then balled it up into a fist, and bent the elbow so that it sat parallel to his face. The left hand was placed at the hip as he did this. When the stance was completed, he then called out, "WILD STAR CHANGE!" With this, he reached his left hand to the Star Brace on his right arm and pressed a button on the Brace.

All of a sudden, a beam of light struck him, and the armor seemed to coalesce onto him. It was gold with silver accents, and lots of strange tech on the chest. He then swung his arms in practice combat strikes.

Etherias' Wild Star Change process takes 0.005 milliseconds to occur. Let's see the Wild Star Change Process again.

Meanwhile, in high orbit, the Galawin's orbit reached its zenith in line with the sun. With the top of the craft, it collected energy and converted it into solar power for the Nano-Cells that made up the armor. It then fired the particles at Kurogane, which began to coalesce into armor plates as a particle beam.

"Knight of Justice," said Etherias, "My mission is to bring fiends like you to justice. My blade is for the people. Wild Star Knight Etherias, Battle ready!"

He then pulled out 9 cards, and placed on labeled 'Fire Red' in the right brace and slid it through the scanner.

"FORM UP," called out the right brace, "Winspector Fire Red!"

He then slid the other 8 cards through the left brace.

(BGM- Macross Frontier op 2- Lion)

"TO ARMS," called out the left brace.

"Hear me, oh warrior of justice," said Etherias, "Your work is not yet finished. I summon you to my aid to combat that which threatens the forces of peace and justice. Rise up and take up arms as you ANSWER THE CALL TO WAR!" After he said this, a beam of light fired out of the left brace, and a series of figures appeared when the beam landed. These were the fellow members of the Tokyo special rescue and crime group of the police.

Etherias approached them and said, "I called you here because I need your assistance." He then extended his hand to her. "I have people who need to exit this building, and we need to clear the rubble and get to the 8th floor. Will you help me in this?"

"Sure," said Walter, one of the androids from the Winspector team. "Will have this cleared ASAP."

"Hey, fuggedaboutit," said Bikel, the other android member of Winspector, and the pair started clearing away rubble, as did the Solbrain team. Kurogane, checking for wounds, patched up anyone with injuries and, after the guys got the rubble cleared, he led the way to the next floor. Luckily they were almost there, so Kurogane didn't have to lead them far. The 8th floor was still burning, but not as much as other floors, Kurogane was sure. Kurogane looked through the door, checking for enemies. When he found none, he opened the door, and motioned everyone to follow close.

However, after they got through the door, which took some effort, Kurogane stopped. He sensed something wrong. "Exceedraft, you and the rest escort them to the Waypoint. Go 3 doors down and its there in the room. Get them out of here, NOW!"

"Got it," said Draftredder, leading the hostages to the Waypoint…

…Just as Etherias got hit by a fireball. "GRAAAAAAAAAHH," roared Hydrox, angry.

"So," said Etherias, changing back to Etherias normal mode, "We finally meet, Dark Energy Beast. What's wrong, cat got your tongue? Where's the witty banter about how I am gonna fall?" However, instead of saying anything, Hydrox just attacked, blasting Etherias with a ball of fire. However, Etherias also rushed him, hitting Hydrox with a right roundhouse kick.

"You rely on ranged attacks too much," said Etherias, "You are vulnerable at close range…" However, he then saw Hydrox's head detach, replaced with the green one, as the red one landed on the left shoulder. This changed his color from red to green and Hydrox then grabbed Etherias' foot and threw him into the air. "I see," said Etherias, doing a flip in midair, so that he landed on a nearby wall, and rushed right at Hydrox.

The two fought like this for a few minutes, then Hydrox changed heads again, turning into a blue version, which pulled out a rapier, and lunged like a fencer at Kurogane. "Interesting," said Kurogane, "You can switch forms and styles by changing your heads. However, your grace and elegance are wasted on DARK." With that, he jumped into the air and drop-kicked Hydrox.

-Meanwhile-

Fortress Belial

"ONORE," yelled Kaena, angered. "Akuma Jikyuu hatsudo!"

"At once," said Dezzle, who then pressed a black button.

The universe is made of both positive and negative matter- Light and Dark; Matter and Dark Matter. DARK takes the Dark Matter that makes up a specific space and compresses it into a dimensional vortex. This vortex opens up into a separate dimension of pure evil.

Hydrox then jumped into the vortex, and howled in delight.

"Right," said Etherias, who then called out, "STARRON!" As he did this, an antenna popped out of his helmet.

All of a sudden, as if from out of nowhere, a strange motorcycle, resembling a tricked out Kawasaki Ninja appeared on the field. Etherias got on it and rode towards the Vortex.

While in the Akuma Dimension, a Dark Energy Beast's strength is multiplied by four. However, it also changes them into mindless beasts while there.

Etherias looked around and saw that the area was full of danger. He made sure to be cautious. However, then Hydrox in his Dark form, a giant golden pot, appeared before Etherias. The pot released 15 Hydra heads, which started firing different types of elemental breath at him. Kurogane got hit pretty badly from 3 of the blasts. "Why you," said Kurogane, pulling out his blaster, "Take this." He then fired at each head, causing the creature to retract the heads for the time being.

However, before Kurogane could retaliate, the two enemies were pushed away by a strange gravitation blast. Kurogane found himself in a separate area with a giant beast attacking him with boulders the size of the Statue of Liberty. "Looks like it's time to bring out the big guns," he then said, activating his left brace's special button. "GALAWIN!"

All of a sudden, the Hyper Star Cruiser Galawin appeared in the Akuma Dimension. Kurogane then jumped into the machine and sat in the mecha control seat and called out , "HYPER STAR GIANT GALAWIN!"

All of a sudden, servos and gears started to move. These started changing the machine into a giant robotic fighting machine. First the boosters extended and became legs and feet. Then the wings retracted and the sides pulled out becoming arms. Then the torso opened up, revealing the head. Then the hands popped out of the arms, opening each finger as they did so. This was the hyper star giant Galawin.

"Let's go," said Kurogane, pushing forward on the control levers. Galawin responded by punching a boulder in half. Then the titanic beast tried to crush Galawin with its huge fists. However, Galawin was much faster. Kurogane then called out , "GALAWIN BUSTER!" All of a sudden, Galawin raised both arms and fire twin beams of energy at the titanic beast, destroying it. Etherias then left the machine and continued further on.

Hydrox, back in his normal mode, suddenly attacked him, knocking Etherias back. However, Kurogane remembered there was a good technique for finishing a battle quickly that he has yet to try. He then raised his right arm to face forward and placed his left arm perpendicular to his right to act as a brace. He then concentrated his energy into the attack. As he did this, a small sphere of energy appeared in his hand, now balled up into a fist. "EAT THIS," said Etherias, "WILD STAR BULLET!" All of a sudden, the sphere launched like it was fired from a rail gun, hitting Hydrox in the chest.

Etherias then pressed a button on the deck box. This closed and locked the top of the box, flipped it around and opened another lid, revealing the weapon cards. Etherias then pulled out the card labeled 'Etherias Blade and Shield', and slid it in the Right Brace. All of a sudden, the card vanished from his left hand and a sword and shield appeared. The sword was secured in a scabbard in the shield. Etherias then pulled out the sword and said, "In violation of Article 2387 Paragraph M of the Star Knight Law Mandate, which states, and I quote, 'Terrorism will not be tolerated', Article 31 section A, 'Those that threaten with death shall themselves be slain', and Article 8, 'Those that kill people of a world under Star Knight Jurisdiction will be put to the death on the spot', I hereby find you guilty and sentence you to death according to Article 77, 'Terrorist attacks are punishable by death, as long as they are of extraterrestrial origin." He then took the shield and flung it at the Dark Energy Beast, which was stunned by the hit. He then ran his hand along the blade, which seemed to charge with energy. Etherias then swung the blade a few times and charged at Hydrox, slashing him once with an attack that caused him to receive an electric shock. He then turned to face Hydrox and slashed the air in front of them, calling out, "QUASAR DYNAMIC!" The slash produced a shockwave that cut through the air in front of him, till it hit Hydrox, slicing him in half.

Hydrox then screamed as he fell forward and exploded.

-BGM- Final Fantasy Unlimited Theme-

The area in the Akuma Dimension reverted to normal form, and Etherias ran into the DARK base. He then started firing his Star Buster at ships and fuel tanks. This caused the based to explode, as Etherias ran back to safety. "Mission complete," Etherias said, returning to civilian form.

-Later-

"We have heard your suggestions," said SKIP High Commander Gallis, "And we are in agreement with you. We do need to add advanced city combat to the regimen. Good work, Kurogane. If you work hard at this, you might just be able to make High Commander yourself one day."

"You flatter me, Commander," said Kurogane, bowing, "However, we have discovered something about the Dark Energy Beasts."

"That will have to wait," said Gallis, "Get some rest, Etherias. You earned it." With that, Gallis cut transmission.

"So, we now know that the Dark Energy Beasts are not what we originally though, huh," said Marianna.

"It would seem so," said Kurogane, "To think they are of Earthly origin, and from myths and legend, no less. How did that happen?"

As one mystery closes, another always opens. However, this new mystery, the mystery of DARK's manipulation of Yokai from myths and legends come to life, will have to wait for another day. DARK is still on the loose, and possibly preparing another nefarious scheme. Don't stop fighting, Kurogane! Keep Going, Wild Star Knight Etherias!

-To Be Continued-

Next Time:

A pair of Dark Energy Beasts are rampaging in a factory area, spreading toxins all over the place. Kurogane is sent to investigate, only to get poisoned. Will Kurogane be able to defeat both monsters before the poison claims his life? Or will he fall into despair brought on by hallucinations? Wild Star Knight Etherias! Next Episode:

Toxin & Flame!

Well, that was fun. Now we come to the fun bit. We got 2 monsters to use in this next chapter. I will reveal them at the beginning of the next chapter. However, I am taking a short break from this series (about a month) to continue other works. That is why this chapter took so Frakkin' long to get done.

Also, After the first monster was sent in, I decided to set up the monster design template as follows:

Monster Name:

Combat Type: (Choose from the following: Technical, Predatory, Tactical, Knight, and Dragon)

Basis: (Which myth or legend is this off of?)

Features: (What does this monster look like in its basic form.)

Akuma Dimension Form: (Each Dark Energy Beast has a form that is different from its basic humanoid form. What does it look like in this dimension?)

Mission Parameters for DARK: (Make it fit its combat type as much as possible)

Special Skills: (What makes this creature unique? What powers will it bring to the fight against Kurogane? Does it have any weapons on it?)

The rules are still the same- NO BIGFOOT! We are looking for creatures of ancient myths and legends, from the Egyptian Monsters to the ancient Japanese Orochi. Anything under 300 years old is unacceptable. However, that still leaves a large collection.

Anyway, comment, review, do what you do.
