Utah – Tens of thousands of years ago

Zeugma and the Tribe of the Great Snake readied for war deep in the mountains of Utah they had retreated to their tribe’s ancestral home. Kron her mate had brought war to her people and with the survivors of his old tribe the Black Fang they had conquered the smaller tribes around them. She knew her warlord mate well and knew this would be so they could challenge the Tribe of the Form again.

Two days ago they did. They had lost that battle and now they were being hunted down. History had repeated itself she though thinking of when the great warrior joined her tribe all those years ago. Her father thought that the great warrior would make her tribe stronger. It had but the Tribe of the Form had taken notice of this rising power and sought to crush it. This lead to war for survival and her tribe was losing. Pushed back now to its ancestral home the final strong hold of her tribe she hoped there they could turn the tide of battle.

They had found them. Off in the distance Zeugma could see men coming towards them wearing their distinctive wooden face masks of beasts. It was said the Tribe of the Form could turn into these beasts; Kron though had never seen such things before and said they used the myth to scare their opponents. Moving up hill Zeugma split her forces as planned. Kron and his strongest men moved up the hills into the trees. Zeugma and a group of warriors stayed in the middle.

As the first men of the Tribe of the Form got close enough Zeugma’s people took advantage of their elevated position and threw their spears. With deadly accuracy of a hunter’s tribe their spears found their mark impaling the enemy. They though where simply outnumbered for each man that they downed more would take his place. Zeugma signalled her forces to fall back. Behind her was a crevasse with steep sharp sides. Her people knew this home land well and Kron as planned positioned him men for the attack.

The men of the Tribe of the Form saw Zeugma with her distinctive blond hair in the distance. They knew she was the leader of the tribe and all clan members now targeted her. Zeugma wasn’t a fool and realised she had being spotted judging by the sheer amount of men that ran her direction. She turned around and ran. Her people had being warned what to do if she had being spotted. Kron had warned her of what the tribe done to his Clan Father in battle. The Tribe of the Form was known to kill opposing clan’s leaders, to kill all its males and take their women as their mates to expand The Form’s tribe. There was no freedom in that tribe, you done what The Form commanded.

Zeugma and her group ran as fast has their feet would carry them. Jumping over large rocks and a small stream as they then entered the chasm. Behind them their enemy’s were gaining on them. That only made her and her men press harder as they ran through the narrow channel reaching the end of it, a massive wall of rock. The men of the form roared in delight seeing that Zeugma and her group were trapped. It was ill advised Kron herd that same roar when they killed his father. His spotter waved his hands a sign of the enemy being in the right location. Kron took his favourite obsidian edged dagger from his belt and cut the rope that was holding back a large bolder. Before the men of The Form could react the boulder had triggered a landslide and rocks crushed and men of the form. Those that survived quickly were killed by Zeugma and her group as they counter attacked. They had won!

<“Well done Children!”> The telepathic message was heard by all of Zeugma’s people. They looked at each other in fear wondering where this voice came from. Then in the forest below they saw a grey haired man walking towards them. Behind him coming out of the forest was so many men that they could not be counted.

<“You done well killing my scouts, most tribes get wiped out by them alone!”>

Zeugma looked up at Kron. The look on his face was that of fear. All around her the look on her warriors of her tribe faces was that of fear. What was it they faced that could put fear into the hearts of men and women with just a few words? Her tribe had just killed fifty odd men, yet this warlord thought he could killed them all himself. The older looking man now walked by himself towards her people leaving the huge army that followed him behind. Whoever or whatever this man was, it all screamed danger to Zeugma.

“Reeve get to the village, get the old, the children and the kids and take them has far away from here has you can,” said Zeugma pointing at the young man beside. Reeve looked up to his brother for guidance. Kron simply nodded knowing whatever happened now all that was important was to get the future of the tribe to safety while they fought this old man. He too like Zeugma knew there was something wrong about this. The old man was simply crazy or knew something they didn’t by challenging the might of the tribe single handily.

The man entered the chasm and was in range of the spears of Kron’s team. With a simple nod Kron had shown his intent. He and his men all reached back and through their spears at the old man. Kron had thrown many a spear in their life time; the spears were travelling on target. Kron now stood back expecting the man to attempt to dodge the spears somehow, but he stood still. The spears like Kron expected were mostly on target. But they did not hit him. The man emitted a glowing circle around him, the spears harmlessly hit off that and then fell to the ground.

<“Ha, ha, ha little children, you don’t know who I am do you?”> said the man telepathically to all of the Tribe of the Great Snake with another silent message of fear. Even this time Zeugma frightened by what she saw. What was this man? Around her the men that were with her ran literally for the hills trying to climb up the wall of the chasm to get away from the man. Zeugma looked up to see if Kron was still there. He was not, he and his men on seeing what the man was capable of hearing his message ran now in fear.

The man changed, his eyes glowed and his form grew very large. Horns started to grow out of his head and a red crystal appeared on his forehead he continued to change looking like a giant lizard. Before Zeugma could even wonder what this meant the red crystal on his forehead glowed and fired. Around her the men trying to escape were hit by these beams of light and were blasted apart. She was now alone and the creature walked towards her.

“You never had a chance little girl. Did you really think you could challenge the might of a Zoalord? That you could challenge Fulton Balcus!”

Zeugma knew there was nowhere to run. But knowing that didn’t stop the fear that gripped her of the man beast that walked towards her that could kill men with light from its forehead! She turned to her right but as she did Fulton raised his left arm firing a ball of energy that slammed off the rock face to her right cutting off that route of escape. She tried again turning to her left but before she even had the chance to take a step another large ball of energy slammed into that wall of rock. The force of this explosion sent rock flying everywhere one hitting her on her right shoulder knocking he off the ground to the rocky ground below.

Zeugma blacked out from the pain of both the impact on the ground and the knowledge that her right shoulder was broken and her right arm was now limp. Fulton walked slowly towards his prey, it was not often he deemed it necessary to personally get involved in an attack on a tribe. But blond women where a rarity in this land and rarer still was a woman in charge of a clan he deemed worthy of taking over.

“Don’t worry girl, I’ll allow your arm to mend before you become my mate!” said Fulton Balcus, now close enough to be herd with his normal voice. Zeugma still unconscious didn’t move. Fulton reached down to pick her up when there was a roar above him of “Clan Mother”. He looked up to see the sight of Solufein the clan shaman jumping off the wall of the chasm into the air his spear pointed down as he targeted the Zoalord.

But at that moment there was a thundering sound in the sky. Fulton swathed the crazed man from him sending Solufein crashing to the rocks. He then looked up in awe of the sight that greeted him. The masters had returned. In the sky above was a Creator ship hovered above the Utah Mountains.

<“Zoalord, we have returned, cease combat with these lesser forms! Return to your home land and ready yourself for our service.”>

Fulton bowed towards the ship and backed away. This time it was Fulton Balcus who felt fear and the compulsion to follow the overwhelming presence of those who ordered him. Inside the ship the Gen known as Solom looked down on what he’d witnessed. These humans had fought a Zoalord, a primitive most likely prototype Zoalord to that of Alkanphel but a Zoalord none the less. They would be useful for the Project. Earth was clearly not as void of life has the Uranus thought. It would be best to keep it that way. He contacted the Council of 13 and made them aware of the situation and that not only humans had survived but he’d even discovered an ancient Zoalord Prototype.

With that and a single thought to his ship Zeugma, Solufein, Kron and the test of her tribe where all teleported into pods inside the ship of Solom. Some reacted badly to the sudden imprisonment but after a few seconds the sedative in the liquids they floated in made them unconscious. Then in the remaining pods that numbered in the thousands The Tribe of the Form all including the Zoalord Fulton Balcus found themselves teleported into the ships bio-pods.

Solom thought of what lead him to this. To his arrival to the forbidden ancient seed world of Gaia, a world all the Federation thought destroyed. A world he and the Gen would claim for themselves and ultimately he and his brethren would tame the Guyver effect!

One Month Later

Solom had waited patiently for the arrival of his brethren. Soon they would begin the work needed to turn the Guyver effect into a controllable weapon. It was eons ago when the Uranus left this world. He’d discovered evidence of the planetoid on the Earth’s surface. But it was in many different locations around the globe. Something had shattered it before some parts of it made any impact on the Earth below. There could be only one logical answer, Alkanphel!

According to a captured archive from the Uranus the peak of their work was the Creation of the ultimate Zoalord. The leader of humanity and the zoanoids they could become. Solom had being observing humans since his arrival; their children are completely and emotionally attached to their parents in all tribes he observed. Alkanphel would have not reacted well to his world being destroyed. Only Alkanphel had the power within him to destroy what the Federation sent to destroy Gaia. But Solom was unable to find the Master Zoalord, land masses had changed much since the time of the Uranus, their ancient test site where the Guyver effect was witness destroyed.

The only possible key he had found to Alkanphel was another ancient Zoalord he had found, Fulton Balcus. From the archive he knew this was a test form of Zoalord powers. A being made long before Alkanphel, he was a prototype of what was to come. Though from what Solom understood while he was not as powerful has Alkanphel he was by no means weak. Since the Uranus had left Fulton had brought together a tribe of warriors and was planning of conquest of the world. With the abilities granted to him by the Uranus and Alkanphel’s absence he imagined that would be a possibility. If not for his arrival Fulton Balcus would have Zeugma now as his mate. Solom had healed her body of the damage done by the Zoalord. From the minds of those he captured her knew she was their “Clan Mother”. She was a natural leader; she did not panic in the face of impossible odds. She would be ideal to become the new leader of humanity.

Solom’s planning though was interrupted when his ship sent him a telepathic message. A Gen Clan Ship had entered the solar system with a large number of Research Ships that where similar to those used by the Uranus.

<“Greetings Science Leader Solom,”> said Draven, Solom’s lifelong friend and member of the ruling Council of the 13.

<“Greetings Draven you’ve arrived with the Research ships, I take it as a good sign that means the Council has agreed to start the Warrior Guyver project,”> answered Solom.

<“You would be correct.”>

The Clan Ship and the other Gen ships moved away from each other. Each Research Ship held its team of Gen scientists who where dedicated to their version of what the Unit-G should become to be classed the Warrior Unit. The Unit that replaced a device that had being used by the Federation before the Gen joined it eons ago. They herd of this planet through hushed rumour, on discovering it was true they went about acquiring the original Unit that went Guyver to attempt to recreate the effect. They acquired it from the Uranus along with basic information on what they done on Earth, but an experiment with the Unit proved fatal for one Gen. His body and being was nearly destroyed but what emerged was a re-incarnated Guyver 0.

As the ships got closer Solom continued to think of the events that led the Gen race to Earth. The Guyver 0 was a mix of a primitive human mind and that of a Gen. He was an accident. More Guyver than Gen, but unlike before with the Uranus he did not attack without cause. The part of him that was still Gen allowed Solom to communicate with him. Solom and other Gen scientists were able to learn from him of what exactly a human being was. From that day the seeds of what where to happen next grew. Solom and other Gen realised that while it was not a perfect merger the Guyver 0 represented what Gen could become if they were able to harness a human body. But unlike the Guyver 0 they would need to grow one not merge with a mature human. Due to the nature of their DNA to do that they would need more human subjects, to both experiment on and to breed their hosts.

Solom was sent to the ancient seed world of Gaia to see if any genetic material somehow survived the attack of the Federation. At most they hoped for some frozen sample to remain, but Solom personally held little hope of that. The size of the planetoid that the Federation sent through a wormhole to crash into Earth should have insured no surface area survived. But what he actually discovered was something that even the Uranus did not know. Gaia and its Creatures where still here. The Uranus had breed a near perfect warrior race. Humanity had survived a harsh Ice Age brought on by the destruction of the planetoid. They were not as numerous as they were at the time of the Uranus but as a species they not only survived but since the Ice Age began to thaw out their numbers had grown, wars for expansion of territory happened all over the globe even now between small human tribes. But Solom could see sooner or later that would lead to larger and better armies. Humanity thrived off combat as much has it loathed it.

But humanity along with the creatures of Gaia had a fault that the Uranus deemed could not be fixed. When merged with the Unit-G the flaw allowed them to go out of control and to be bio-boosted far beyond other creatures ever were. What scared the Uranus, what scared the Federation was that if that happened with a basic human, what would happen if a Zoalord merged with a unit? It was a realistic threat one that they would need to design a method of prevention against. Even more so if such a powerful host like a Zoalord was to merge with a powerful test unit it would be unstoppable. Solom could see the dangers and why this was not easily agreed to by the Council of the 13. But the rewards outweighed the risks. If they could make a controllable Guyver they would be unstoppable and no one in the Federation including the Uranus could stop them.

An hour later the Research Ships had found their locations in different locations around the globe. The Clan Ship itself located in what would many years later become France. The huge ship was the representation of the Gen race. Inside it was the Council of the 13. Those who ruled the Gen where all located in this ship. They had realised the importance of this mission to the most forbidden planet of the history of the Federation, a planet that shouldn’t exist. If command decisions needed to be made on important matters on Gaia then they would be made quickly.

The Science Cast where all present on the Clan Ship. They all knew their mission. Before the Warrior Project could go ahead they first had to implement possible counter measures. They were lucky when the Guyver 0 event happened that the host was communicative and did not attack them. From him they learned nothing they had defensively would be capable of surviving an attack from a standard Guyver, let alone a test unit.

So that represented the first goal. Solom had located a prototype Zoalord of the Uranus. But he was not the panicle of the work of the Uranus; they would first have to locate Alkanphel. From him they would make new zoalords and zoanoids and then they would have protectors capable of defending the Gen from the Guyver risk.

That also represented the second goal. Their protectors could equally be their doom. Any powerful zoalord they made or powerful zoanoid for that matter could become a Guyver. A human Guyver they could handle with the zoalords. But something more powerful than them would be their downfall. Solom had an idea that would “limit” this threat. Solom knew this was a realistic threat. He had discovered what the Prototype Zoalord was after, inside the mountains of Utah was a Uranus relic ship that was still active after all this time. It was a Store Ship having hundreds of dormant Units inside it. Even though he was no Alkanphel the Zoalord Fulton Balcus would have being near unstoppable as a Guyver. But if he was limited in what the Unit would have done for him, if the Unit could sense that the host was over a certain Bio-Boost potential then he would not receive the full effects of the merger.

This lead onto the third goal, the Gen admired the personal power a Guyver represented to the host. They would as such need to make a Human Hybrid body for the Gen to occupy much like the Guyver 0 but in a much more controlled manner. Solom having the advantage of being on Earth first had already solved this from tests on the humans he had captured a month ago.

The fourth goal was the one that would take longest. Once they had their human hybrid bodies and had their army of protectors ready and the safety limitation technology designed then they would be able to set to work designing and testing what would become the Warrior Unit, the replacement to the Unit-G Controller. After those goals where completed the fate of Gaia and its in habitants was in the hands of The 13. But Solom suspected the worse, even though he saw value in the world for continued research after the project he understood that the Federation and it’s Uranus would be too big a risk if they discovered what the Gen where up too.

Months passed as the Gen worked tirelessly to lay the foundation of their project. Solom worked on the human hybrid body project with a large team behind him they neared completion of that goal. The Council of the 13 continued to both monitor the project close at hand and also the affairs of the Gen race. Their main concern though was also that of Solom’s. Where was the body of Alkanphel?

The answer to this came when Hpa'Var another Gen scientist was working on Fulton Balcus to test their control over him and his control over a group of zoanoids. Fulton Balcus had become more accepting of Gen realising they controlled the Earth now. Hpa’Var was able to get a better reading of his mind and picked up an ancient memory of the Uranus test site where Alkanphel was born. Not only had that memory being picked up, but Fulton Balcus over the years travelled from there after Alkanphel saved humanity from the death the Federation planned. Fulton hid this from the Gen out of fear of betraying Alkanphel, a being he saw take flight after the Uranus when they left. From the evidence around the globe and this, the Gen now had a very clear idea of how Gaia survived and where Alkanphel was located.

Hpa’Var and Solom located Alkanphel on the Island of Silha, a time lost place that also had creatures from Earth’s past located on it. Alkanphel was inside a man structure made by his followers over of a ruined Uranus ship. He was in a deep sleep and did not awake when he was called. Solom said that this was due to the damage his body had gone through and the price he paid for disobeying the Uranus. They both agreed he was too damaged to be what they needed and that they would need to make a new leader of humanity. A sample was taken from Alkanphel. Hpa’Var asked Solom if they should kill him off now as he put it “put him to rest”. Solom though admired the Zoalord for what he was capable of and in case they needed another sample he would be here resting for them if they needed it. They left Alkanphel with their sample.

Months and then years went by as the Gen continued to work on their projects. The next breakthrough was almost a decade later by Solom’s team. They finished work on the Limitation Effect as they called it. Any existing control medal and all future designed control medals would be fitted with this. It was described by them as an infection into the design of the control medal. It would intricate itself into the control medals key functions and once there be impossible to be removed without destroying the Unit. In essence it would insure that no accidents involving mergers would be too disastrous. The combined power of a zoalord and a Unit G with a Limitation Effect inside its control medal would only be a few times more powerful than that of a human bonded Unit-G. Within the power range of their new Zoalords to deal with if necessary.

As Solom’s team had worked on the Limitation Effect the samples from Alkanphel were given to Hpa'Tus Vulcan’s team to work on. For them this was no easier project than that of Solom’s team project. They had figured out Alkanphel was born a zoalord and was the result of all the research the Uranus did on this world. Due to Solom’s teams success in designing their Limitation Effect they did not have the time to work out how the Uranus grew Alkanphel and more importantly how to grow one of their own from scratch without it being defective. Instead it was decided to zoa-form a human into a modern Zoalord based off the sample of Alkanphel. Hpa’Tus Vulcan agreed with his rival’s team that the human Zeugma had shown qualities that would make her the ideal choice to be the new leader of humanity.

Ten years later – A landmass that will become France in modern time

<“Zeugma awaken!”> said the voice that thundered through her mind.

Zeugma opened her eye lids to reveal yellow cat like eyes. She blinked repeatedly as she realised she was inside some liquid that completely surrounded her. But she could breath and because of that she did not panic. As she focused she realised she was inside come pod like chamber. As she reached forward her hand simply went through it. She then noticed her hand was not right, it was yellow in colour and had an orb in the palm of her hand.

<“You are now our Zoalord, but not just any type of Zoalord you are the Master Zoalord. You have being chosen to rule humanity for us!”> said the voice telepathically to her.

Zeugma wasn’t sure what to make of what the voice was telling her. But the voice unlike that of the Zoalord Balcus came with a feeling of trust, deep down she knew she could accept what that voice told her to be true. The pod around her disappeared and retracted around her she thought she was going to fall to the ground she found herself floating in the ait.

<“As a master zoalord Zeugma, you have many powers over the elements and to and to command humanity and the zoa-forms. You are able to fly and personally insure destruction of those that would wish us harm.”> As the voice was telling her this Zeugma landed softly on the organic ground at her feet. Sensing yet further questions in the zoalords mind the voice continued. <“You also have at your disposal imprinted memories and knowledge needed for you to complete what is required of you.”>

<“I will serve you well my master,”> responded Zeugma as she knelt towards where she thought the voice came from.

The side of the room opened and through it Zeugma could see the outside world. She did not need to be told what she was meant to do from her. Instinct infused into her by the Gen told her to leave the ship. She flew out of the ship and realised it was far away from her home lands. Around her many villages of primitive huts had being built around the great ship of her masters. She could sense the humans and zoanoids inside. She could also sense the Zoalord Fulton Balcus inside one of the more solid structures.

Landing outside the building the door opened itself with a mere thought from the Master Zoalord, her powers doing her bidding with ease. Inside the building scantily clad women were doing their about their duties tidying the building and maintaining its gardens as she barged into the room. Fulton Balcus clearly did not live a hard life she thought. The slave women stood in silent shock looking at the glowing form of Zeugma. Zeugma read the minds of the women and did not like was she found. She floated up to the balcony above her and into the room of Fulton Balcus.

“How things change Zeugma,” said Fulton Balcus as Zeugma floated into the room the light from her body brighter than the candles that lit it. A second later Fulton Balcus found himself being lifted off the ground into the air and towards the new Master Zoalord.

“Tell me why I shouldn’t kill you now for what you did to my people! For what you tried to do to me!”

“Your people? Your people eons before even your grandparents existed survived me! All the people of that region of Earth served me. The “Great Snake”, the “Black Fang” and the “Form” all those tribes where made by me! Your grandparents though chose to forget that and you chose to fight against it. You and your people paid for your mistake!” As Fulton Balcus spoke those words much like she was able to read the minds of the women who served him she knew it to be true from reading his mind.

“You’re not merely a Zoalord Zeugma, you are the Master Zoalord bread to rule us all. Do you think now that you are a Master Zoalord, our replacement to Alkanphel that our masters will allow you to act any differently to me? No you are bread to rule and you’ll be expected to do so. To insure what our masters are doing her they continue to do without interruption! To insure their army has the most experienced Zoalord ever created so that their mission will come to fruition!”

Zeugma continued to read his mind while he spoke those words. It was all true! The Masters who came from space would expect her to rule much like Fulton Balcus explained. She was now the ruler of humanity she would be expected to manage it, to insure it did not interfere with them and to use it and all its resources including this Zoalord she despised to do what was required for them!

“They let you live?” asked Zeugma.

“They had me rule humanity while you their perfect Master Zoalord was processed. I am to serve you, that is the order of things.”

“Who was this Alkanphel you spoke?” asked Zeugma her psionic powers pulled the zoalord closer to her.

“We should not talk of Alkanphel, to do so would only anger the Masters.” As Fulton Balcus spoke those words she was not able to probe thoughts of who this Alkanphel. She now could guess it was Alkanphel who she replaced, not the ancient Zoalord that attacked her people. But she could see through his mind that something blocked her from revealing any more. She though even with all the genetic programming the Gen put inside her couldn’t help but let this human part of herself through, she hated this man who obliterated the people of her tribe.

<“Zeugma you are a Zoalord, petty feelings produced by your former life should no longer be your concern!”> said a commanding voice. Zeugma knew they had being monitoring her and the Zoalord and they did not like what sensed coming from her. She was ordered to so she did as obeyed and pushed memories of her former life out of her mind.

<“I do what is required my Masters.”> As she replied saying that through her mind she let go of the old Zoalord. He had served the Masters while she was made into a Zoalord. They still had use for him and as such she could not kill him and go against her Masters wishes.

“You’ve a lot to learn Zeugma, that is why the Masters chose to let me live!”

Over the next few years Zeugma learned as more and more of her old tribe and that of Balcus where made into the ruling elite, the Zoalords. Kron her mate was made like her into a master Zoalord though less powerful than her he was far more ruthless in applying their commands. Zeugma learned more of the “Gods” who came to Earth. They desired their privacy above all. They commanded from afar so she never saw them only the shine from their Control Medals. They had a plan for her and her people and talked of “the tests”. But they had yet to announce any details of what those tests would be.

She had learned more of the planet she called home. From the Gods she learned that many, many years ago the Gods where on the Earth before. But a great disaster threatened them so they left to the Stars forsaking the Earth to its doom. Her predecessor Alkanphel saved the Earth at great cost to both himself and to the Earth. It caused the great ice age, something only in recent years has abated enough for the Gods to come back for them to continue their work. Her tribe and that of the Form or the Black Fang was the norm for what the rest of the Earth was like. Many small tribes or some large tribes using basic tools and simple buildings to live in. Most hunted to live. But she also met other tribes, bigger larger tribes that no longer called themselves by their tribal names. They did not hunt, they moved far beyond that keeping animals in large enclosed areas and keeping at bay predators. At first she too did not understand why they did this. But as she read the minds of the people who done this she realised why. Farming led to an abundance of food, far more food than the family who farmed needed. This developed trade for other goods. The most advanced tribe that realised this called itself and the large island they inhabited Atlantis.

The people of Atlantis did not hunt in the traditional sense of what Zeugma knew. They were very advanced compared to the tribes of the lands to their East in what would now be called Europe and Africa. The people of Atlantis used metal to make armour and weapons for their army, their army fought and trained together all the time supported by the abundance of food from their farmers. They in turn protected the people who thought in schools to advance their people who in turn designed better weapons, better ways of farming and to improve the life of their people. The realisation of what civilisation could do astounded Zeugma. But there was also darkness to this bastion of humanity, Atlantis preyed on the weaker tribes for recourses. The people of those other tribes would become slaves to do the bidding of their masters. Other slaves that were more warlike fought for the amusement of the Atlantians in massive stone buildings.

The Gods decided that Atlantis should obey them instead of their fictional ideas of what a God was. Their king believed himself a God. That was until Zeugma and Kron descended form the heavens during a gladiatorial fight. She commanded them to obey the true Gods, they disobeyed. Their sent their warriors into the coliseum against her and Kron, before they even got close Kron destroyed them and many others in a display of his powers. Upon seeing this, their king kneeled before them and swore obedience to the true Gods!

With that Atlantis the most advanced human culture on Earth at the time was taken over by the Zoalords in less than two minutes. Kron was about to make an example of the Atlantians by destroying their culture for daring to disobey the Gods but was stopped by Zeugma. She learned well from Fulton Balcus. His most important lesson was to be able to anticipate the will of the Gods. They sent Kron and her to this land to take it over. Not destroy it and lay waste to its people and knowledge. The Gods had a plan for Atlantis.

Indeed they did, the next year Zeugma met her first God in person. The Gen called Solom. He was human in shape but completely armoured, his eyes glowed blue and his armour was a darker shade of blue. Where Zeugma had a zoa-crystal in her forehead he had a metallic sphere. Zeugma did not know why, but she could sense that physically she was more powerful than this God. But whenever he talked with her or ordered her his will was overwhelming. She had to obey him.

Solom wanted to see in person Atlantis and its people. Since the subjugation of Atlantis it had largely remained untouched. Zeugma herself and members of her Tribe that had being turned into Zoalords had taken residence there. Kron especially enjoyed these lands, more so that gladiatorial combat. He did not compete in them himself, for he viewed it unsporting. But that didn’t stop him enjoying it when two evenly matched men fought to the death. Kron had fully established himself in the society of these advanced people he had first sought to wipe out. The former ruler of the land reported directly to him. His keen mind soon got to grips with how things worked and learned at an amazingly quick rate how this land worked, its politics, its people, farming, and to him most importantly warfare. These people where not zoa-formed yet they demonstrated how a small but well trained force with the right tactics and weapons could destroy a much larger force of men in war. Solom toured the country with Kron, complementing the master zoalord for using his keen intellect to learn about them and how their society worked. Zeugma wondered why Solom was so interested in this race of humans more than any others. Indeed they where an advanced race but they were not Gods?

Time travelled slowly for the Gen who normally never suffered from boredom. But now that Solom had the first stable human hybrid body that retained the full conscious of his Gen mind he found himself being influenced by it. By its most important urge, to eat food. He learned much from Atlantis on how a more advanced human race manages their food supplies. The storage of it, the preparation to the cooking and eating of it and the importance of taste. All this was important, he found that he had to force himself to eat the substance he designed that came from the ship for his human body. He found that simply it didn’t taste good. Atlantis was a mind opening experience in that regard.

After the visit to Atlantis the Gen realised for them to be able to fully adapt to having human hybrid bodies they would have to live somewhat like the humans, more so like those of Atlantis. They chose a location high in the mountains of Greece to make their city. The natural predators of the lands would not be able to not be able to climb such heights. To insure their peace the Zoalord Seraph, sister to Zeugma was chosen to guard the mountains of Olympia with a large army of zoanoids.

Over the years, Solom and the other Gen scientists had learned completely how human Genetics worked. Like the Uranus the Gen where now in a position to execute their plans. All Gen on Earth now had a human hybrid body. But like the Guyver 0, there was another who shared his fate. One of the Gen from Hpa’Var’s team decided the hybrid bodies designed by Solom were too weak. Compared to the Guyver 0 achieved in raw power the Gen in their hybrid bodies only reached a tenth of that potential. To overcome that a body more closely to that of the Guyver 0’s was designed. The result was not what the Gen who experimented on it would have wanted. Hubero became more human than Gen, like the Guyver 0 he now resided inside a bio-pod inside the great Clan Ship.

The Gen found that now that they were all human hybrids like Solom they too had to eat. They too did not like the nutritional capsules that the ship produced and enjoyed the complexity of tastes of real live food produced from the Earth. Atlantis again proved its worth, produce from there being highly sought after and their servants happy to oblige. With that Gen society became established in the world. Over the next number of years they strengthened their presence in preparation of the tests they planned to conduct. New Gen test sites where established around the globe, the largest being in the centre of the Pacific Ocean surrounded for many thousands of miles by the sea and ocean this new artificial island was three times to size of modern day France and not yet inhabited by any creature other than some plant life that made use of the rotten sea vegetation that was on the surface. It would make the ideal location for the tests limited in outside influences. With their test sites established finally the Gen where able to work on Warrior Projects, the competition truly now begun.

Fifty Five years later – Coliseum Solom in the heart of Atlantis capital city

The crowd roared as William the great walked into the middle of the coliseum. The unarmed man looked defenceless as his opponent entered the field from a chamber below the ground. A massive zoa-formed tiger the only thing keeping it at bay as the mental control of Kron the ruler of Atlantis. He wanted a show for his people, a show of power they had not seen. The Gods answered his request, Kron guessed the timing was right, Zoalords talked of a battle between test subjects they were forbidden to interfere in. Zeugma herself the only zoalord and the only one of their kind knowing what truly happened would not speak of it. Kron seizing the moment approached G’Kor a god who had made himself known to Kron for permission to conduct his own test expecting it to be denied. G’Kor agreed, stating they had waited too long to truly test a Guyver! Kron did not know what this was, but the preparations requested by G’Kor were keenly taken care of by Kron. The result of this deal now stood face to face inside the coliseum.

Around the battle area of the coliseum zoalords including that of Kron’s younger brother Reeve stood ready to shield the crowd from harm.

Above is a more advanced preview of what I'm doing with Time War. As you can see, the start is VERY different to before and will go into detail on how things started off the in WG-Fan fic and who did what to put in place things that changed the offical comics to make what you read in the stary.

At the moment, the above is VERY rough, and changes each time I re-read it and decide to add more detail to it. But basically you've above what is the start of the whole Gen interferance into Earth's past.

[guyverfanatic]

Wow! Fantastic! I can't wait to see the finished product!

[Juggernought]

I also liked the fact that they are well entwined with human history....the story of most of the myths back in the day, could all be linked to the Gen. Since we will be eventually getting more insight as to what drove Reeve to become the guyver zoalord, i think this test will be the first raw display of a unit and it would have a profound effect on him, make him obsessed with receiving the same power and becoming a god himself.

[guyverfanatic]

When will the "new" version be uploaded?

[Sully]

When will the "new" version be uploaded?

When it's completed. What was up there is basically all I've wrote so far (well a day or so ago. Since then I've pretty much finished that fight and will move onto Solom, the fix will focus on his group and that of the Nova Project).

Saying that, when the rewrite catches up with the current story that hopefully won't take as long to rewrite comepared to what has being wrote up before it.

[McAvoy]

Much more different than before. It fleshes out what any of us only theorized. Which of course includes that zoalords and zoanoids could have been gods and monsters of ancient mythlogy.

Obviously the Guyver Zoalord destroys Atlantis. But what are the plans for Atlantis by the Gen I wonder?

Seraph must have been a good girl to go from a zoalord sister of zeugma to basically a Enforcer kavzar protector with her own fleet answerable only the highest of Gen. That is if she is the same. I wonder if zeugma and seraph will ever meet again.

The rebirth of Zeugma as a zoalord has been touched on. Being an inferior Master Zoalord to Alkanphel.

The Limitation device is a possible reason why the Guyver Zoalord is weaker than he should have been.

Man, after reading Part 7 of 7 Days of Hell, I totally forgot that Seraph is Zeugma's sister after reading the preview!

[Guyver_Astray]

So this Reeve person is to become the Guyver Zoalord?

[largo]

So this Reeve person is to become the Guyver Zoalord?

Yep he is, Yeah I'm with everyone else here can't wait. Also question would this mean that the gen are basically human in form by were the story is currently?

It would seem to be so, yes.

[Sully]

Though you do have to ask yourself... what where the Gen doing on XT9's world....?

[Juggernought]

Perhaps trying to replicate the kind of "bodies" they had and incorporate that with the guyver unit. Even though the plasmoid race doesn't have a physical body persay, they are still very powerful and i think the creators wanted to experiment with them more and try to use them as a stepping stone for basically de-evolving themselves for lack of better word, back to the physical plane - without losing their intellect and advantages they currently have with the mind meld thingy.

[*zeo]

It was never stated that the Creators were energy beings, that is just a fan theory brought about because they were never shown in the Manga except in a mental form as they communicated with Archanphel. The fact they used the G-Unit's and needed ships though suggest they were physical beings.

Though they only got boosted 1/10 as much as a human hosted Unit, according to the translations from the Manga. The Mega Smasher was a complete surprise to them as well. So would benefit by adapting whatever factors made humans superior hosts.

[McAvoy]

I agree. I figure that their natrual forms are eaither physically weak or their bodies just do not naturally adapt well the Guyver as a human would.

[Sully]

On the news front the story has moved on a lot more since the above was wrote. Though today I didn't write much, isntead I read up more about what I've wrote about Zuegma in the current story line.

Suffice to say once Time War is finished and Zuegma is a much more fleshed out character, I'll also add more to when she breaks free in All Things Change 4 and also develop the story more so it's just just a case of secret master Zoalord just appearing out of no where in a Chronos basement. :

Woohoo! Sounds good to me!

[Sully]

It should be, so far it's like 7 Days part 7. In that the Characters are into'd with a bit more space so you can get used to them without them being crowded out (e.g. All Things Change and the Mercs being a perfect example of characters being crowded out). There will be a large cast of characters in Time War, and it's the story that will introduce Zeugma and Kron first now, more so their pre Chronos era selves. It will also give Reeve a much bigger part even more he becomes the Guyver Zoalord, in the part that's already wrote (though it's after the preivew up there) it shows him already scheming.

[Spartan Warlord]

Damn you keep the people wanting more!!...considering you call it a rough version so far id easily say that great already!...a few things tho (obviously expecting the notorious "no comment"...

if all the new unit where fitted with the limitation devise only i gen would be able to alter that unless it was faulty? I mean they were fully aware of the dangers of a guyver zoalord yet reeve would've been literally unstoppable if not for Warrior Guyver and alot of luck so surely there some foul play here...

Even with the orginal version of Time War you'd have to ask yourself how?

How could an advance alien race come back (for the second time in the orginal version) and mess up so BADLY? They knew about the possibility of the Guyver Zoalord yet they still let it happen some how?

For a race designing something so advance the fact they didn't do a simple risk assement and have a zoalord top of the list of "Don't let near the dormant Unit G" defies logic. Something else was at play.

That doesn't really answer the question though

Hmm... could it be this Darmon being we hear about but never see?

[Sully]

No Comment

[McAvoy]

No Comment

I do no think it can be Darmon. Darmon and the Guyver Zoalord are considered to be greatest threats to the Gen.

I think it's much simpler. A rival Gen or even Uranus allowed it to keep the Warrior Project from being completed. This has my opinion about it for a good ten years now. Someone had to allow Zoalord Reeve to be even near a unit. Gen ships are generally not responsive to Zoalords but only to those who wear the Guyver armor.

That and Guyver Zoalord would have needed to time to gain full power too. During that time it would have been easier for the Gen to kill him with their thousands of Zoalords.

Atlantis seems to be a key too.

[Sully]

Ok time for an update on what's happening so far.

Time War Part 1 is finished. It's appox 10K words.

What was part 1 is now part 3 and what was part 2 is part 4.

This will baiscally mean we end up with 4 even'ish parts rather than a super big part 1 and smaller part 2 and an even smaller part 3.

There is a big gap story wise between part 1 and part 3. Basically part 1 of Time War envoles a huge amount of setup of characters important to the whole of the fan-fic (not just Time War). Overall not much in action but there is some.

i'm debating on if to publish it this weekend or not. Most likely I will but who knows, the reason being the gap in the story between part 1 and 3 (and part 3's start is baically not compatable with the new part 1).

[guyverfanatic]

Awesome, I positively cannot wait til the new-ish version of Time War is put out!

[jedi-guyver]

i'm debating on if to publish it this weekend or not.

Do it!
