ZK Chromedragozoid: A bit for my idea, Zero No Rider, which is an adaptation of Zero No Tsukaima.
"I've finally found you…Zero-Four…" the hyena masked man spoke as he hefted his twin shotguns on his shoulders.
"Who…what are you?" Saito asked, his eyes narrowed under his helmet. The hyena masked man laughed. "What's so funny!?"
"Baka, haven't you figured it out yet?" the hyena masked man questioned. "Wait? You don't remember, do you? Let me refresh your memory, brother." He introduced myself, "I am Shotgun Hyena, a Inhumanoid Cyborg Agent of SHOCKER."
"SHOCKER?" Saito questioned.
"Saito!" a female voice cried.
"Louise, stay back!" Saito told her.
"You're my Familiar!" she reminded. "I can't just leave you alone!"
"Ah…who's this?" Shotgun Hyena asked. "A girlfriend perhaps?"
"I'm his Master!" Louise snapped, blushing.
"Master?" Shotgun Hyena laughed, "I didn't know you were into that, Zero-Four. Now this is going to something to tell the other back home."
"Back home?" Louise repeated. "Wait, you don't mean-"
"Louise, get back!" Saito warned, "He's dangerous!"
"Oh, I come from where Zero-Four came from," Shotgun Hyena answered.
"Why do you keep calling me that?"
"Because it's your codename. Your designation is HOPPER-04." Shotgun Hyena then realized something. "Oh, I see…you were brought here before you were reprogrammed. No wonder you don't know anything about SHOCKER. Well, once I take you back-"
"You're not taking him anywhere!" Louise threatened, aiming at the SHOCKER Agent with her wand.
"Annoying pest…" Shotgun Hyena growled. "DIE!" He aimed and fired.
"Look out!" Saito pushed her out of the way and the shot pierced his body. "Ugh!"
"Saito!" the girl gasped.
"Armor piercing rounds," Shotgun Hyena explained as he cocked his gun. "The perfect weapon against your armor Zero-Four."
"My name…is Saito!" Saito snapped.
"Not anymore," Shotgun Hyena grinned. "Not since SHOCKER changed you."
"Changed me?"
"You and I are the same, creations of SHOCKER. You're not human, at least not anymore," explained Shotgun Hyena. "SHOCKER stripped you of your humanity on that operating table."
The memories returned to Saito. The men in white who hovered over him, the scalpels, the wires and the needles. The boy shuddered at the images. "Shut up!" Saito shouted.
"You're no longer human," repeated Shotgun Hyena. "You're a monster, like me!"
Saito roared as he charged at Shotgun Hyena, his fist drawn back. "SHUT UP!" He smashed his fist into Shotgun Hyena's face, causing the other to stumble backwards.
Shotgun Hyena spat, "Is that all? I guess they were right about your cybernetic components being inferior, Zero-Four."
Saito didn't want to hear anymore and attacked with a ferocity he never shown before. This worried Louise as she watched her Familiar attacking as Shotgun Hyena dodged. She remembered when Saito had collapsed after a fight before and even coughed up blood. She had to stop this.
"Saito, don't!" Louise shouted. He didn't seem to hear her.
"Your body is in pain, isn't it?" Shotgun Hyena went on. "It's rejecting your components. Each time you use your power your body feels like it's burning, doesn't it?" He dodged all of Saito's strikes. "That's why you're weak!" He ducked under a swing and slammed his gun into Saito's gut, sending him flying backwards. He then aimed and fired on Saito mercilessly. "Dead or alive, I'm bringing you back, Zero-Four!"
