The half-orb lay on a bloodied cushion in a square case with flat edges that opened in the middle, much like a lunch box. Gio: I want to know its functions. If we can understand the secrets of the control device then we will have nothing to fear from Guyver-III. Begin the analysis first thing tomorrow. Clark stood restrained by the Khronos agents, behind both the subordinate and Richard Gio. Clark: Murderer! Luke....Give Luke back! His demand was answered with a solid punch to his stomach. Gio: [looking at the control device] Regretably, your friend is dead. Mr. Island hated you too much. If you and your friend had cooperated with us from the beginning then we would have avoided this tragedy. Clark: [through clenched teeth] You... Gio: I will have other things to ask you. Afterwards, I would like you to lie down on the operating table. Clark: Operating table? Gio gestured to a bank of monitors controlled by several technicians in Khronos uniform. Gio: Take a look at these. Each monitor displayed a different beast soldier during concoction. All of them were suspended in some sort of chemical solution and were attached to wires. Clark: Ah! These are... Gio: All of them are beast soldiers in the experimental stage. Over 50% die in the process of concoction. The man who escaped with the Units two months ago was one of these experimental types. Clark: You people...have no respect for human life! --- * Origin: Magrathea, Now open for business (1:243/42) From: Michael Liu To: All Msg #267, May 19, 92 02:41:00 Subject: Guyver 6.2 Gio: Humans who can not tolerate the engineering process have no right to live! Clark: You... Gio: [looking at the monitors] The quality needs to be adjusted here. The Japan headquarters is currently gathering data to strengthen the beast soldiers. Once we have them in sufficient numbers they will be secretly sent overseas to infiltrate the centre of administration in every country and bide their time. Gio turned to face Clark. Gio: Imagine, super-powered monsters suddenly appear in the power centre of every country. The military and the political office will crumble in one day. Then, Earth will belong to Khronos! As a result, the evolution of mankind will take a giant step forward, forming a golden age and a new mankind! Clark: Evolution? A new mankind? In that form? That ghastly form!? Gio: Correct! [Clark looks surprised at the answer] Biological weapon is the form humans should wear, because...mankind was originally developed from the genes of biological weapons! * * * "Mina, phone!" A voice called. Mina came out of the shower, wrapped herself with a towel and dabbed her hair with another towel as she answered the call. Mina: Hello? I'm Mina. Hmmm? Anne...Clark? No, haven't seen him. Luke is not home either? Anne: Hmmm...Sorry to call you this late. Good night. Anne hung up the phone. She looked at the clock. It was almost nine. Anne: * * * Clark sat remorsefully in a single-bunk cell with an overhead fluorescent light.

The control device lay on a cushion enclosed by a glass case, which was in turn placed on a platform that was in the centre of a small, metal chamber. The light from the device could be seen from the open side of the chamber. Two guards in lab coats stopped their poker game. Guard 1: Look, the control device... Guard 2: It's glowing? Guard 1: Look! Something is pouring out underneath! An organic material began to flow from under the control device and was spreading rapidly. Guard 1: Contact the command centre. Hurry! Guard 2: Uh, yes! [runs away] Guard 1: [watching the device intently] The guard suddenly became aware of someone behind him. He turned his head slightly. Guard 1: Huh? What is it? Blood dripped onto his right shoulder. The guard spun around and his head fit right into the open, bloody palm of Guyver-III. * * * In the command centre... Tech 1: Monitor display has disappeared! Tech 2: (into intercom) Storage room, what's wrong? Please answer! Gio: What's going on? Tech 2: The monitor for the storage room has blacked out, and there's no reply from them! Gio: What...? --- * Origin: Magrathea, Now open for business (1:243/42) From: Michael Liu To: All Msg #269, May 19, 92 02:42:00 Subject: Guyver 6.4 A group of guards in black suits and shades rushed to the special storage room. They were not prepared for the sight that greeted them as they opened the door. The room was dark. Light from the opened entrance showed that the glass case in the chamber had been shattered. A humanoid sat on the platform. Its posture gave the strange impression that it had just emerged from the broken case. An orb on the humanoid's forehead glowed, and the humanoid's eyes glowed in response. Guard 3: Guyver!? Guard 4: Drop the gate, quick! A thick metal plate dropped over the open side of the chamber just as the humanoid sat up. Shortly, a great bulge appeared on the plate with a bang. Then another, and another. A crack began to grow. Guard 3: Aack! Guard 4: (to the rest of the men) Prepare for battle! All of the guards began to transform. Some turned into Gregoles, some became the simian creatures that assaulted Clark at school, other unidentified forms also emerged. A bright light streamed out of the crack, burned through the beast soldiers, blasted out of the walls of the building and shot into the night. Back in the command centre... Gio: What!? Tech: Guyver! Guyver has been spotted in Area 7! Gio: Intercom: This is Area 2! Guyver... Gio: What!? Intercom: The experimental types are...Aaarghhh! Gio: --- * Origin: Magrathea, Now open for business (1:243/42) From: Michael Liu To: All Msg #270, May 19, 92 02:43:00 Subject: Guyver 6.5 * * * Guyver-III smashed another glass tank that held an experimental beast soldier. Fluid rushed out from the hole. He surveyed the room of organized destruction. Guyver-III: (to himself) Are these all? Any survivor can prove to be a problem. Better check again. From the outside, black smoke and fire could be seen rising from the hole in the skyscraper created by the blast. However, that was not the biggest problem. Guyver smashed through the wall to reach two astonished Khronos agents. The control device glowed. Tech: Guyver entered Area 5 from Area 4 through the wall. Gio: [looking at the monitors] Hmmm... Clark was startled by the loud noises. He looked out through the cell door. Clark: Clark shouted in surprise as a giant hole was suddenly opened in the ceiling. He could not believe what he saw on the upper floor. Clark: Luke...Luke! The second cry caught Guyver's attention and he looked down the hole. Guyver: Gio: (to intercom) Mobilize all beast soldiers! Eliminate Guyver at any cost! Guyver and Clark both walked the deserted corridor. Guyver seemed confused. Clark: Looks like....it's finally time for others to know. Guyver: Me? This? Clark: You don't remember? Guyver looked down the corridor. Clark: A wave of menacing forms were rushing toward the two. --- * Origin: Magrathea, Now open for business (1:243/42) From: Michael Liu To: All Msg #271, May 19, 92 02:43:00 Subject: Guyver 6.6 Guyver: We can talk about this later. Enemies are here! Guyver dashed to meet his foes. A blade extended from his right sidearm. The first soldier was decapitated. The second one's head was shot with a head beam. Both the technician and Richard Gio watched the monitors intently. Tech: The beast soldiers are no match for him. Guyver ripped open the right chest plate and aimed the cannon upwards. A huge blast of energy burst through the command centre, taking a Khronos agent and a large portion of the floor with it. Richard Gio whirled around in surprise as Guyver and Clark emerged from the hole. Clark: I want to ask you: You said human beings were developped from the genes of biological weapons. Whose idea was it? Gio was tense for a moment, then calmed as he began to speak. Gio: Visitors. We call them the Visitors. They are the sentient lifeforms that landed on Earth tens of million years ago. We don't know what kind of lifeforms they were, but in those millions of years they manipulated the life on Earth, creating the necessary lifeforms. They also tried to create a lifeform that was highly intelligent, had a ferocious battle instinct, was adaptive to environments, and can be used as a weapon! After many mistrials, humans began to appear. Beginning with the beast soldiers, based on the genes of various possible biological weapons. However, they suddenly abandoned the half-finished experiment and left Earth. We have no idea what happened. [Referring to the tall, round, glass tanks that hold developping beast soldiers] Now, with the 'test tubes' obtained from The Site the form human beings should have is almost complete. We will use the hands of Khronos, the hands of mankind itself... A form leaning against the wall at the entrance to the command centre, behind Richard Gio, spoke: "The secret organization Khronos wants to control Earth, so people like you can wear the name of God..." Guyver, Clark: Gio: So you ARE inside. You...Who are you? --- * Origin: Magrathea, Now open for business (1:243/42) From: Michael Liu To: All Msg #272, May 19, 92 02:44:00 Subject: Guyver 6.7 Guyver-III: You can call me...Zeus. Gio: Zeus? A series of explosions occurred simultaneously in many top parts of the building. Gio: What's happening!? Tech: Sir! Explosives have been planted all over the building! Gio: Huh? Gio was startled by the realization. Gio: (to Guyver-III) This....is your doing? Guyver-III: This building will go down in a moment! The Japan branch of Khronos is finished! As if to demonstrate those words, a wall erupted behind Gio. Guyver-III: (to Guyver) The metal sphere in your abdomen is the gravity control device. Concentrate your will there and you will be able to fly. Guyver: Ah! You are... Guyver-III: Hurry! Guyver stood watching the departing Guyver-III. Clark: Luke... Luke centred his will, picked up Clark and took flight. Below them, the top of the modern skyscraper was shattered by a great explosion. --End of Chapter--
