Tetsuro eyed everything with growing unease along the way. Tetsuro: A pair of sliding doors parted to admit the unwilling guests. Tetsuro was shocked to see the dark man in a white suit who was sitting in a modern version of a king's throne covered in leather. Gio: Welcome to the Site Base. Tetsuro: Richard Gio!? You...you are still alive! Gio: Yes, how could I have died so easily? Fumio: You...What are you going to do to us? Gio: Use you as hostages. With you in our hands, Sho Fukamachi will have to listen to us. Tetsuro: What is the Site Base? What kind of place is this? Gio grinned slightly. Gio: Since...you will not leave here alive, I might as well tell you. At the bottom of Mount Minakami is the "site" where the Visitors' equipment and research facility for biological weapons were found. The site here is more complete than any of the others found around the world. This base was built to further investigate the site. Tetsuro: The relics from the Visitors... Gio: Yes! The various data possessed by the Japan Branch all originated from here. Even the troublesome Unit G was discovered here. Tetsuro: !! Gio: It all began here! Now...Let me introduce you to my right hand in Japan--Agito! "Here!" A young man stepped softly from the shadows. His eyes carefully avoided those in front of him. Tetsuro, Mizuki: !! Ma-Makishima! --- * Origin: Magrathea, Now open for business (1:243/42) Date: 01-05-93 (23:40) Number: 737 To : All Refer#: 0 From: Michael Liu Subj: Guyver 13.2 Conf: Toons Murakami's car travelled through the country side. Murakami: There are many legends associated with Mount Minakami. One of them is...it has an entrance for those from the heavens. There is an ancient theory that says it's an artificial mountain. Some scholars think it's the world's greatest unfinished pyramid. Have you heard of the Takeshiro Multiple Quakes? Sho: No. Murakami: In 1965, a series of earthquakes occurred around Mount Minakami. According to the investigations of the observation centre, the epicentre was the mountain itself. Chronos must have found the "site" back then. Murakami: His only audience had withdrawn to his own thoughts as well, a fact not missed by the journalist. Sho: Mount Minakami... A guard sat outside the cell, reading a paperback. Fumio: Oh? Sho has something like that on him? Tetsuro: Yes, I know it's hard to believe. Fumio: Hmm! Frankly, I feel like I'm having a nightmare...Tetsuro, Mizuki, I'm really sorry for all this. Tetsuro: Please don't say that! If you want to trace responsibility, it would be all mine. I've survived until now all because of Sho. Sho's father was silent. Fumio: I...didn't even notice that Sho had so many problems. His mother died early. I've always hoped that I'd be able to understand him, take care of him. But... Tetsuro was suddenly distracted by a voice outside. "There's no business for you here right now. Go take a break!" "Yes sir!" Makishima looked back nervously at the departing guard. Tetsuro: Makishima! What are you doing here!? --- * Origin: Magrathea, Now open for business (1:243/42) Date: 01-05-93 (23:41) Number: 738 To : All Refer#: 0 From: Michael Liu Subj: Guyver 13.3 Conf: Toons Makishima: Tetsuro, don't be rash. My intention is to defeat Chronos. Tetsuro: Mmmm... His old classmate's eyes hardened. Makishima: And I'm going to prove it right now. Makishima stepped back. The sphere of shockwave that followed created circular dents on the floor, the ceiling and left a crater on the wall opposite the cell. Tetsuro: Guy--Guyver-III! Mizuki regarded the student council's president with wide eyes and an open mouth. Mizuki: Guyver-III: Follow me. The speaker beside the corridor alarm blared: "Guyver spotted in Area D, Level Two! Available beast soldiers gather immediately!" Many Chronos guards walked warily down the corridors. One who was transformed suddenly saw a hand reach for him. "Huh?" The rest was quickly smothered. "I repeat..." the speaker continued. A spray of blood decorated Makishima as he quashed any protest that might have come from the guard. Another beastly guard came down past the corner. He spotted the man holding his headless comrade and the three escaped prisoners. "Over there!" Makishima turned and opened the plate covering his right lung. A blast cleared the corridor of vermins. A severed, burnt hand landed nearby. Guyver-III: Behind him, a security camera silently observed. --- * Origin: Magrathea, Now open for business (1:243/42) Date: 01-05-93 (23:42) Number: 739 To : All Refer#: 0 From: Michael Liu Subj: Guyver 13.4 Conf: Toons In the command centre, two men stood before a giant screen displaying the image of Guyver-III. The two were close in height. However, one was bald where the other was full and luxriant. The former also seemed to prefer a stylized white robe to the suit worn by his colleague. A closer look revealed a whiter skin that was more ravaged with time, shoulder length white hair that came from the back of the skull and was matched by an equally long white beard down the front, as well as an oval crystal in the centre of the forehead that seemed to be cradled by fiery veins. He gave an impression of an Indian guru who was interested in a more rational discipline. He chuckled, then said: "So that's the bioboosted body--Guyver." He turned to look at the man beside him. "If one cannot take care of something like that...I would say he's rather incompetent. Wouldn't you, Richard?" --End of Chapter 13-- --- * Origin: Magrathea, Now open for business (1:243/42)
