The Damaged Experimental Type Duo --------------------------------------------------------------------- "Fumio Fukamachi, 47, employee of a trading company. Sho Fukamachi lives with his father." The Chronos agent looked at a picture of a slightly-plump, average-looking middle-aged man. "If we can capture him, or one of the Segawa siblings then we can manipulate Sho Fukamachi." "Strange," said another team member sitting in the high-tech van. "How come Group A hasn't returned yet? They entered the house a while back." "You're right." The first Chronos agent turned from the driver seat to look at his buddies in the back. "Hey!" Shouted a third Chronos agent responsible for communications. "There's no response from Group B either!" "Can both be in trouble?" "That's impossible!" The speculation was suddenly cut short by a laser beam that blasted through the head of the driver. A second beam immediately followed, but missed the two agents in the back and struck machinery instead. The panicked agents dashed out of the van seconds before it exploded. One of the agents began to return to his feet. He made a cry of surprise when he found two Guyvers standing before him. A high-frequency sound from the mouth of Guyver-III shattered the agent's body just as the other one got back to his feet. "Huh?" The last agent removed his helmet. A strange light in his eyes and a sudden growth of canines indicated the beginning of a transformation. "Hmph! Damn you!" Sho raised his right hand. Inside the palm there was a swirl of light that soon culminated into a blast that severed the agent's body. Sho lingered for a moment watching the rapidly decomposing corpses, then walked away with Guyver-III. Another person arrived on the scene shortly after the Guyvers' departure. "Just as I expected," thought the smartly, yet practically dressed young man. "Those are Unit Guyvers," confirmed the observer to himself. "If I follow them long enough I should find the tail of Chronos." --- * Origin: Magrathea, Now open for business (1:243/42) Date: 01-02-93 (07:08) Number: 621 To : All Refer#: 0 From: Michael Liu Subj: Guyver 10.2 Conf: Sho leaped home and entered through the window in his room. After ordering the biobooster away he collapsed onto the bed. Sho: Guyver-III: Chronos will probably threaten you by capturing those who are close to you. Your friends, family, classmates....It's impossible to know which one they will strike. You will not be able to take care of all of them on your own. If you wish, I can help you. However, you have to agree to obey my orders from now on. Sho was shocked. Guyver: Guyver-III, I'd like to know, what is your goal? Guyver-III answered as he walked away. Guyver-III: The destruction of Chronos! Sho: "Sho," someone called. "Sho, are you inside? I'm coming in." "Why don't you turn on the light?" Said Sho's father as he did so. Sho: I'm thinking of taking a rest, so I didn't have the light on. Fumio noticed the texts and notebooks lying on the floor. Fumio: Ah! You are preparing for a test? You don't look too good. Don't wear yourself out. Sho: Huh, I know. After his father had left, Sho returned to his thoughts once more. Sho: * * * N City, N Prefecture. Mount Minakami... Gio: What? All the operatives are dead? "Yes, sir," replied the agent. Gio: Hm! The opponent moves quickly. "Yes, sir. However, there is something very strange. The opponent seem to understand all our movements. It's as if he knows everything we are about to do. Also, Guyver-III seems to be helping him." Gio was surprised at this information. --- --- * Origin: New To Magrathea !! Whatever this is...

How did Guyver-III know about the headquarters of the Japan Branch and the hideout at Makishima's place? The security at the Japan Branch was extremely tight, outsiders could not possibly enter. If they could not enter the headquarters then they could not know about our plans. "Then, it could be someone from inside the organization...." The agent suggested. Gio: That is very likely. A thought struck Gio. Gio: "Chief," said someone behind Gio. "Let us try something," the man with sunglasses offerred. "I have an idea..." * * * "Yeah! The exams are over!" "We can relax now!" Jubilant cries rose from the crowd of students leaving school for the summer. Some looked tired, some looked defeated, one wore an Ultraman mask as he made 'V' signs with both hands in the air, but most were just smiling. Sho, Mizuki and Tetsuro walked wordlessly together. Tetsuro: Under our circumstances, we couldn't do too well, could we? Mizuki: Yeah, right. You always say that. Tetsuro: What do you mean by that? Mizuki: Makishima! Mizuki rushed ahead. Tetsuro looked at Sho, who made a small sigh. Tetsuro: She still doesn't understand her situation. Sho: It's alright. Sho turned to look ahead. Sho: Makishima: Got any plans for the summer? Mizuki: Ah! Not yet. But, we probably won't go anywhere this year because our marks dropped. Makishima: --- --- * Origin: New To Magrathea !! Whatever this is...

"We have come to receive you, Master Agito," said the man with sunglasses. His stocky companion's face was inscrutable. Makishima: What's this for? "This is Chief Gio's order. Please return to Site Base with us immediately." Makishima was alarmed. "Please, come with us." Mizuki, Sho and Tetsuro could only watch as Makishima entered the car with the three men. As the man who wore shades settled down, he turned to meet Sho's eyes and smiled. The sedan sped away. Sho: Tetsuro, Mizuki, you two go ahead. Sho passed his satchel to Tetsuro. Tetsuro: Hey! Sho: I'm going to take a look! Sho began to run in the direction the car headed. Sho: He quickened his steps. Sho: Guyver! The sphere of shock wave cracked the pavement, snapped a nearby tree, bent the rail on the side of the road and knocked a car temporarily out of control. "Hmmm? What was that?" The driver was puzzled. Sho sped down the road. "So, he wants to follow us to take a look?" Observed someone using the rear-view mirror. "Hmmm...Forget it." The chase continued into a wooded area. Guyver: [Still running] "Here's fine. Stop," ordered the man with shades. The car came to a halt. Two men exited just as Sho arrived. The man wearing dark glasses and his large partner stood in the centre of the road. The car continued its journey. "Guyver-I, let us deal with you! We will revenge Sohm's death." --- --- * Origin: New To Magrathea !! Whatever this is...

The man with dark glasses smiled. Guyver: Hmmm? The stocky man began to melt, as he became liquefied his body seeped into the ground. This continued until only a pile of clothes was left. Guyver: Sho shouted in surprise as the earth underneath him moved and swallowed his feet. Branches from nearby trees extended to bind him by the wrists. Guyver: Aaack! This is.... "Surprised?" The man with shades grinned. "Merging with the earth in liquid form is Ottoms' power. The plants and soil in this region have become part of Ottoms' body!" "As for me..." The suit became tightened then was shredded as a bigger, more thickened body took shape. Guyver: Ah! This is... The blade at the top of the head was crooked. The face bore more than a casual resemblance to a skull. The body was somewhat deformed, but the overall form was unmistakable.
