The Deadly Combined Attack!! ------------------------------------------------------------ "Guyver! It's time for harvest. You've defeated many beast soldiers, but," A glow emanated from the deformed Guyver's eyes and forehead. "Today is your last day." The right sidearm blade extended. It was raised high in preparation of a fatal strike. "Resign to your fate!" The control device returned to life. The branches were sharply untangled as Guyver met the downward slice with its own right arm blade, denting the attacker's weapon. "Huh! Not going to die yet?" The imitation Guyver leaped back and shot several streams of viscous liquid from the centre of his forehead. Sho screamed as three of them struck his right chest and one on the right shoulder, dissolving the armour where they landed. New branches reached down and wrapped around Sho in a tight bind. "I'll smash your head!" The deformed Guyver rushed at Sho with his left fist raised. Guyver: Mmmmm.... Sweat rolled down Sho's face. Noises came from the sphere in his abdomen as Sho struggled with Ottoms' hold. The false Guyver stopped in surprise as Sho rose from the ground, dragging the earth and the branches with him. Once in the air, Sho bucked free of Ottoms' 'extensions' and landed a short distance away. "Ottoms, don't let him escape!" Branches and grass swayed as Ottoms moved formlessly in the ground. A small wave of earth rose behind Sho. "Hurry, finish him!" Guyver: Sho detected a gaping maw in the ground with barely enough time to leap over it. Guyver: Sho decided to give it one more try.

"What's wrong, Master?" The driver asked. Makishima: Nothing. Branches stretched and blades of grass were blown into the air as Ottoms pursued Sho, who managed to jump away from another ground trap. Makishima: Guyver: Sho spoke his thoughts out loud. Guyver: Even if the weapons are similar to Guyver's, their performance cannot equal Guyver's! "Umm.....right!" Replied a somewhat confused imitation Guyver. Makishima: "Ottoms!" Called the deformed Guyver. Hearing the unnatural rustle of leaves, Sho turned to slice away the advancing branches approaching from behind. Guyver: Damn you! The false Guyver fired from his forehead again, but missed. The two Guyvers renewed the battle in mid-air. A car stopped nearby. Its sole occupant closed the car door after stepping out to catch a better view of the fight. "Guyvers fighting each other?" Wondered the young man with shoulder-length hair and dark glasses. "What's happening here? Those trees are moving..." He looked down in surprise as the earth began to swirl around his feet. "The ground....Ahhh!" Tentacles made of soil surrounded him. The cry made Sho turn his head to look. As a result, he was not able to dodge the kick to his head. Sho landed right into Ottoms's grip, in front of the stranger. --- * Origin: Magrathea, Now open for business (1:243/42) Date: 01-04-93 (01:03) Number: 744 To : All Refer#: 0 From: Michael Liu Subj: Guyver 11.3 Conf: Toons "Guyver, you can't move now," said the false Guyver as he approached his hapless victim. "In a short time, not a trace of that man will be left." Guyver: That's despicable! "Shut up!" Another kick was directed at Sho's head. The man watched tensely. "Neither Ottoms nor I have powers that match yours. But given time, we can definitely finish you!" The deformed Guyver continued his beating. * * * Tetsuro: Damn Sho, where did he go? Tetsuro complained as he walked down the street with his sister, who wasn't quite listening. Mizuki: Tetsuro: Mizuki.... She snapped out of her thoughts as they were suddenly surrounded by Chronos agents. "This is Group B. We have captured the Segawa siblings." "Roger! We Group A have also captured Sho Fukamachi's father. We will return to the base immediately," responded a van speeding down the country side. Sho's father lay bound and gagged at the back of the vehicle. Inside Mount Minakami... "Report to Chief, the tactic has been a success. As expected, Guyver-III did not appear. Master Agito should arrive shortly." Gio smiled. Gio: * * * "Guyver, accept your fate!" The deformed Guyver was obviously tired and was panting heavily. Sho was not faring much better. He watched his opponent warily. Guyver: The young man was involved in his own thoughts: "I have heard of damaged experimental types, are those what these beast soldiers are?" "Die!" Screamed the false Guyver as he raised the sidearm blade. --- --- * Origin: New To Magrathea !! Whatever this is...

Ottoms: Sho stared at his free hands in surprise as tentacles retreated back into the ground. He quickly caught the false Guyver's blade with both hands then delivered a kick to the enemy's stomach. Guyver: [To the man] Get out of the woods! Quick! The deformed Guyver held himself in pain. "Ottoms? Why did you let them go?" "Hurry....Ah?" The false Guyver looked at Sho warily. Suddenly, Sho fired from his mouth and severed the deformed Guyver's left arm at the elbow. Extending the right sidearm blade, Sho inserted it into the earth. "!? Fool, that kind of attack is useless against Ottoms." Ignoring his enemy's advice, Sho pushed the blade down further. A noise began to issue from under the ground. A chilling scream came from the earth. "Ottoms!" Yelled the dying beast soldier's teammate. The Guyver looked even more menacing through the vapours of Ottoms's decomposition. "This...." The damaged experimental type's thoughts were interrupted by telepathic communication. Gio: The false Guyver leaped backwards into the air then departed. "Sohm and Ottoms are both dead. I must avenge their deaths!" Sho and the man wordlessly watched the enemy retreat. Guyver: Sho turned to leave. "Uh, wait--Fukamachi!" Sho stopped and turned around. Guyver: How did you know my name? "Don't worry about Agito Makishima. He was just a piece used to entice you here." Guyver: Piece? "He is a future V.I.P. in Chronos." --- --- * Origin: New To Magrathea !! Whatever this is...

"The former head of Chronos Japan Branch was his stepfather. After the branch head's death he had been following Chief Gio." Sho stared at the man in disbelief. Guyver: This....How did you know? Who are you!? The sleek car sped out of the countryside and into the night. Sho: [Reading a business card] Journalist...Masaki Murakami? Murakami: I used to work for a small news agency. Ever since knowing about the Chronos incident, I have been following this case. Now I'm a freelance journalist. I have only heard of you recently. Sho: You....actually survived until now. Murakami did not answer the question. Murakami: During this time, their plan has proceeded step by step. If we ignore them, they shall devastate the Earth. Murakami looked at his passenger. Murakami: Sho Fukamachi...Let us be allies in this war! --End of Chapter 11-- --- * Origin: Magrathea, Now open for business (1:243/42)
