1st of July 2010 - Northern Washington DC, in a seemingly abandoned Industrial Estate

General Carter looked at the television feed. Everywhere Chronos had invaded the life of his country men and women. Politicians were mostly all zoanoids; the former President while he was not one at the beginning of X-Day was soon turned into one. Most of the United State Military was either wiped out on that day or simply disbanded when Chronos took over. It was not just the leaders of the country or its military that Chronos now influenced. Rock bands, celebrities the news media they had all being largely turned into zoanoids to make them more acceptable to the wider public. But always Chronos would say they done so by choice. Over the last few years they had even targeted science fiction loving sectors of the public promising that those that were zoaformed would be allowed serve on the Ark, the giant living space ship that Chronos had literally grown in the Dead Sea!

General Carter knew one thing; Chronos would pay for what they did and the revolution would begin very soon as he looked at another screen. There a man in a Red Armour combat suit fought with Guyver US. Guyver US was holding back but not as much as he would normally. The Red Armour’s arm cannons fired forcing Guyver US to dodge the pellets being fired that splattered paint like pellets off the wall. A Guyver might be something he has come to understand is incredibly powerful but the last thing he wanted as some fool in training to get a lucky shot and hit his control medal with a live round. Their ultimate secret weapon was him. The General didn’t know if Chronos did not know of him at all, but at the very least they did not know where the hell they were deep in this underground facility. Soon though his secret army would strike, soon his country would be free of Chronos!

Chronos USA Branch – Pillars of Heaven – Washington DC

It had being many years since Gigantic Dark struck Washington’s Chronos buildings and brought down one of the three Pillars of Heaven, since then any sign of his assault or that of Guyver II F’s birth and escape have since being removed and damaged or destroyed buildings rebuilt to their former glory. Apprentice Zoalord Taylor Smith was the main put in charge of these operations. It had being years of this man’s life overseeing the reconstruction of not just Washington but also standing in for the vacuum in the leadership of Chronos.

Taylor Smith sat in the top office of the Pillars of Heaven thinking of the past events that lead up to now. Zoalord Purg’stall was the first to go, unknown to Chronos at the time he was not killed by the Gigantic Guyver but the Trio of Rogue Zoalords. But his supposedly dead body disappeared from the battlefield in a flash of light that none of the four witnessing Zoalords could understand. What exactly happened is unknown to all but the Supreme Zoalords, but Taylor knew one thing, Fried’rich von Purg’stall died that day and his body disappeared before the eyes of the four observing Zoalords.

Then only a short while later on the same day on different sides of the world Chronos darkest day struck. Cablarl Khan initiated what was now called the Dragon Lord event turning into a huge giant monster like dragon by absorbing countless Chronos Japan zoanoids and hyper-zoanoids. He was defeated by the Gigantic Exceed, the Gigantic Guyver’s most powerful form. Again how he survived was a secret of Chronos only the Twelve knew of. On the other side of the world Guyver 3 unsuccessfully tried to capture the Control Sphere of the Relic at the heart of Chronos Arizona. But it was at nearly at the cost of both Waferdanos and Li Yentsui. Again how they survived was something the Twelve kept to themselves. It angered Taylor Smith that he was not trusted with that information but he was placed here to clean up their mess!

Now these bastards had somehow returned too, adding insult to injury! The twelve Supreme Zoalords of Chronos were whole again. All of them, even including Purg’stall! Now he and the other Apprentice Zoalords would be expected to stand aside as those losers returned to take their power! Taylor Smith sat in what he viewed as ‘HIS CHAIR’ knowing today he would now be the number two man in Chronos USA! The phone on the desk rang.

“Hello Annabelle,” said Taylor Smith seeing the name of his personal assistant show up on the display of the phone.

“Sir, he’s her arriving into the lobby now!”

“Thank you,” said Taylor Smith putting down the phone. He was sooner than planned, Shin Rubeo Amniculus one of Twelve Supreme Zoalords of Chronos has arrived.

Taylor Smith liked the distance given to him over the last few years, it allowed him to show his talents but he had miscalculated. Alkanphel had not promoted the Apprentice Zoalords. Taylor Smith though calmed himself; he knew he couldn’t be feeling such strong emotions when a Supreme Zoalord would sense his disquiet. Less than a minute later Zoalord Amniculus entered the room.

“Hello Apprentice Zoalord Smith,” said Zoalord Amniculus as he reached out his right arm to shake his hand. This was the first time Taylor Smith had met the Supreme Zoalord in person.

“Greetings Zoalord Amniculus, welcome to the Pillars of Heaven. I believe this was formally your primary Head Quarters?”

“Yes it was, but after events in Japan, that has being my primary assignment until now” said Zoalord Amniculus.

“What is happened to change that Lord Amniculus?

“You do not need to know the full details. Alkanphel has a new assignment for you.”

“I am to lose command of Chronos USA?!”

“Yes, Alkanphel has different plans for you. You will be joining Alfrid Drano at Chronos Island, you have one more week to finish up your projects here before you join him there.” said Lord Amniculus as he looked out a window that overlooked the city. Below in the city he could see the huge rebuilt complex the 3rd Operation Plant of Chronos, formally known as the Pentagon.

Taylor Smith sat in ‘his chair’ smiling to himself as Lord Amniculus re-familiarised himself with the view from the Pillars top floor. He nevertheless was very happy with what was said, this was no demotion, Chronos Island was the code name for something much greater that he hoped would bring him further glory.

Chronos Island

In the vast sea of the South Pacific Ocean the tiny island of only ten square miles would be easy to miss to any plane flying overhead. Unclaimed by any nation it laid below sea level until two years ago. Under the direct orders of Alkanphel a massive building project began bringing the island above sea level. Once that was completed massive excavations into the centre of the island began. Alfrid Drano director of Chronos Mexico City was put charge of the project. He did not question why the master zoalord would want such a massive undertaking or why he would want him to give up his Office and live away from his wife and daughter for two years. He was there to make sure it was completed for him and on time!

That date Alkanphel wanted this project completed by was two months away. But Chronos Island was completed on schedule. Contained in the islands core soon became common knowledge to those working on the project. Alkanphel referred to as the “War Relic”. But Alfrid Drano had discovered something that was of concern to him that he considered to be also a concern for Chronos! Having called Lord Valkus they had scheduled a conference call together to discuss the matter.

“... and the excavations are finished. The Chronos Island base is an almost perfect reconstruction of the design used for Relics Point Lord Valkus,” said Alfrid Drano to the perfect 3D image of Dr Hamical Valkus. In the Ark the oldest of the Chronos Zoalords bar Alkanphel looked at the display of the base stopping at its core where the pyramid shaped War Relic lay.

“You have some concerns of this living ship,” said Zoalord Valkus.

“Yes I do. I’ve compared soil samples around the War Relic to that of the Ship that was once inside Relics Point. What I’ve found was surprising. Carbon dating of the War Relic surroundings show that it is approximately twelve to thirteen thousand years old,” said Alfrid Drano looking for any signs of surprise on the face of the old Zoalord, but there was none. There was a silence of a few moments while they bought thought about what to say next.

“Alfrid, you have being a loyal member of Chronos and now Apprentice Zoalord, what I am about to tell you is a secret known only to the twelve Supreme Zoalords of Chronos.

Tokyo Japan - Shinjuku

It had been nearly three years since the battle between Guyver 1 and Cabral Khan ravaged the city. Reconstruction of the ruined areas was at full pace but the emotional scars of the battle are still felt by the people who survived. In one of the remaining ruins of derelict building three men meet in secret. To look at them you’d not think them all that different from any normal Japanese person, they all knew how to dress in common clothing and not draw any undue attention.

“Sho, we’ve done nothing to Chronos since you killed Guyot over six months ago,” said Agito.

“That was a favour we did for Chronos then, but I understand we needed to destroy the Unit Remover,” said Aptom as he pulled hit hood off his head revealing his birth marked face.

“It was the lesser of two evils,” said Sho.

“Has either you seen or heard of Guyver II F since then?” asked Agito.

“No since she disappeared that day, I’ve not seen her since,” said Aptom as Sho shuck his head signally that he too had heard nothing of the mysterious female Guyver with the artificial control medal.

“We have being waiting for Chronos too long,” said Agito.

“I agree that is why I called you both here, Chronos is up to something in the south pacific, Zoanoids here in Japan are being deliberately kept in the dark about it,” said Aptom.

“Why would they do that?” asked Sho.

“So he wouldn’t absorb one and know what they are planning. What have you found out Aptom?” asked Agito to an annoyed Sho beside him. He knew why they’d do that, the question he should have asked was what they were hiding.

“I do not know exactly, but from what I’ve found out Chronos has invested a lot of rescores in building a new base in the South Pacific. They call simply ‘Chronos Island’,” said Aptom.

“Do you know how big the base is?” asked Agito.

“No, only it’s name and that this has delayed the launch of the Ark,” said Aptom.

“We need to find out more then,” said Sho knowing that if something delayed the Ark launch that it must be important. Neither the Guyvers nor Aptom knew that the ship required Twelve Zoalords to command and control it for being another deciding factor on not to launch the ship.

“I have split part of myself onto this other zoanoid, he is on the way to the Island unaware I am along for the ride,” said Aptom.

“How is that possible?” asked Agito.

“When Sho and I fought the Dragon Lord I found it was possible to control parts of zoa-form’s body. That though was on a large being made up of a huge number of bodies which allowed me get partial control over him. But I’ve since learned it is possible to be like a parasite and not fully take over a zoanoids body and unknown to them remain there while they receive orders from Zoalords and go about their daily work for Chronos.”

“Has your host discovered anything interesting in the last few minutes?” asked Agito noticing Aptom’s facial expression change to that of shock, not something he had seen Aptom do often.

“He has just overheard his supervisor talking and say something interesting, the supervisor has compared the Island to the former Relics Point,” said Aptom, upon listening to what he had just told them they too shared his shocked expression.

6am the 3rd of July 2010 - Northern Washington DC, in a seemingly abandoned Industrial Estate

Jason woke up in his living quarters. He was one of the few people inside this secret base that didn’t have to share his quarters with someone. It was something in appreciated a lot, it meant he could have some resemblance of home here and not worry about someone moving what few possessions of family he had left. Looking at the picture taken a few days before his weeding of, Fiona his sister Jenny and his mother he let out a deep sigh. “I wish you all were back,” he said as he walked into bathroom. Jason wasn’t made of stone, and would have shed a tear for his loved ones that had being killed on their wedding day but simply put he felt he had already cried enough for them and now the feeling of loss had turned to anger.

As he washed his face flash backs of that day filled his head. That golden being that saved him that day still haunted his memory. Who or what the hell was he Jason did not know, but if not for him that beam would have killed him instead of Fiona as it fell from the church ceiling. Jason didn’t know to this day though if he should thank him or not. He would have gladly given his life if it meant Fiona the woman he was about to marry that day would have lived. Jason continued to think about this as he did every morning since that day as he got dressed. He was badly hurt that day, but as he lay in a hospital bed Atkins found him. Jason one of the few FBI members to survive the early phase of the war on Chronos was then drafted into the ACTF, the Anti-Chronos Task Force.

Since then he spent a lot of time buried under ground like the other five thousand odd members of the ACTF group, getting ready for the day they could bring their movement to the USA. To him though it just meant he could get some level of revenge on those that ruined his life. His new best friend Sean would ensure that! Jason looked at himself in the mirror. He sighed once again and focused on today’s task, to assist Sean in whatever he needed to be the best Guyver possible. Jason got dressed and then left his room.

The room beside Jason’s was Sean and his girlfriend Cori Edwards. Jason liked Cori, she was an unexpected surprise when he found out about her. An archaeologist who specialised in what was called at the time fringe archaeology looking into old stories of werewolves to look into the truth about them made what would be the greatest discovery no one would ever hear of with her Father in Utah. They discovered a living Relic ship. That ship was now lost sent back to wherever it came from by Sean. He understood why, but it was a sore subject with some members of ACTF as the ship possibly contained a lot of dormant Units and now more than ever they would need that power to fight Chronos.

As Jason walked up to the door of Sean and Cori’s room and knock on the door. Sean opened the door, like him he was already dressed. Cori steered still on their mumbled something resembling ‘hello Jason’ and went back to sleep. Sean quietly left the room and closed the door.

“Good morning Jason,” said Sean

“Morning Sean, she still not used too waking up early?”

“No she’s not want to get used to that.”

“She’s a good morning sleeper and it’s not like the General has a training program for her.”

“Yeah that honour is for me! I did not think joining ACTF would mean I’d be running around the base ever morning at six thirty AM.”

“Well, today will be different. We’ve only thirty minutes of running as at seven AM we’ve a meeting with the General.”

“It must be important if he’s interrupting my normal hour run through the base.”

“I believe it is, at the very least he sounded a little different when he talked about it.”

“In what way was he Different?”

“I don’t know, just different Sean,” said Jason as he broke out into a run and Sean in turn increased his speed to a run. Not everything was complete in this underground base when they moved into it at first, to Jason this was one of the best improvements, an area in the underground base that had being converted into an area where they could run around and get exercise. While treadmills done the job, looking at the same wall for over a year as they ran endlessly was getting to them. Coping with living underground was something everyone here had to get used too. This was nothing too fancy, basically a group of underground corridors that made a circle around the outside of the underground base. At certain times of the day personal kept to a minimum so that the military and others who liked to exercise could run around the base.

Chronos Island – The Docks

At the same time as Guyver US and Jason exercised in their secret base a huge cargo and personal ship had landed at Chronos Island. Aptom could sense the relief in the man that he was finally on land. The Gustav that Aptom had chosen was a leader of a group of thirty zoanoids. Aptom had become a parasite to this hyper zoanoid. Aptom was surprised that Gustav wasn’t fond of travelling by sea at all. The hyper zoanoid was one of thousands being sent now to re-enforce the base now that its construction of phase was finished and was operational.

Aptom lay quietly as the Gustav arrived at the entrance of the base and where checked into the base and given induction training. Soon he and his men were travelling in a lift to their living quarters. Windows on the lift allowed the person inside to see into the centre of this amazing facility. The base was huge by any standard. It dawned on him very soon though which base this reminded him off, with the huge open area in the centre of the base and the rest of the base built around it this place reminded him of Relics Point. Aptom though had to be certain of this though before he acted and fully consumed Gustav.

Hours past by and Aptom still lay their quietly Gustav totally unaware that be bought one of the most dangerous beings to Chronos inside their most secret base. But as of yet he had not yet learned of what was inside this new base. He was reasonable sure, but that was not enough. Gustav was now eating with other zoanoids in a canteen area of the base. Another Hyper Zoanoid hand joined him judging by the man’s power level and uniform but he wasn’t sure yet what type he was bust something about him was too familiar and he didn’t like that fact at all. As he talked with Gustav the subject of their conversation went onto the base itself. He heard what he wanted to hear as the man said “deep in the Core of the base is one of the Living Relics of the Advents!” Aptom said nothing and remained quietly attached to the Gustav contemplating what to do next. The only action he could think of was simply it was time for him to take control and see this Living Relic.

“What’s wrong with you?” asked the hyper zoanoid as Gustav’s face was gripped in pain. But he had lost control to speak and couldn’t reply.

9am the 3rd of July 2010 - Northern Washington DC, in a seemingly abandoned Industrial Estate

Sean and Jason finished exercising, had a shower and had just finished their morning breakfast and were walking towards the General’s room for the morning briefing.

“Do you think it’ll be soon?” asked Sean.

“I’d guess so, we’ve being down here a long time,” answered Jason as they arrived at the General’s office. He hopped it was time for action like most people in the base he was reaching the limit of how long he could stay down here no matter how determined he was in doing so.

“Welcome gentlemen how are you two doing today?” asked General Carter from behind his desk.

“I’m doing fine general, getting a little stir crazy down here though,” answered Sean knowing that Jason would never admit something to the General so he did it for him.

“Doing well general how are you sir,” answered Jason.

“I’m doing well Jason and Sean it’s understandable why you feel like that. But I have some information for you that will take your minds off being stuck down here,” said General Carter and both Jason and Sean looked on attentively as he continued. “We have the final proof we have being looking for that Sean is not the only Guyver out there battling Chronos.”

“After the Washington event you said we weren’t sure on what attacked Chronos there, but it was what we suspected?” said Sean a little surprised now that it was certain he was no longer the only Guyver out there.

“As you know Sean, the Washington event due to the destruction caused left us with few leads. But after that day I knew we had to take some risks and have sent men out to find what it was that attacked Chronos. One of them, a man you are both know well discovered a lead that brought him to Japan. He has sent an interesting report about the Guyvers from there. Chronos calls them aliens in their propaganda war,” said General Carter waiting for the reaction of his most trusted and powerful asset.

“Sorry but when you said Guyvers there General did you mean just this Japanese Guyver and me or did you mean two Japanese Guyvers?” asked Sean.

“I meant two Japanese Guyvers there Sean. To be more precise one of these two Guyvers has also somehow evolved into a more powerful and larger from.”

“What do we know about this larger form?” asked Jason.

“Not much, our operative in Japan has not seen this being. But he was able to find out about it from a source that was close to major battle in Tokyo if fought a giant Dragon and saved a number of people. The descriptions vary from source to source but Atkins is sure what they describe is a Guyver,” said General Carter.

“If that is coming from Atkins he wouldn’t have said that to you unless he was absolutely sure,” said Jason who knew Atkins well from his FBI days, he would have being his best man at his wedding if not for Chronos.

“It is more than just that though Jason, we know Chronos was attacked here in Washington two years ago. But at the time the only image we had of their attacker was from a hacked Satellite feed. It showed a dark being firing on the Pillars of Heaven.”

“I remember that, but we couldn’t make out exactly what that thing was,” said Sean.

“We have found evidence of what it was. Between five to three years ago, we were not the only resistance group in the United States. We found an abandoned site in the Florida Mountains that was used by the Thunder Bolt. We’ve confirmed that they have being wiped out by Chronos, but their leader who they simply called Boss was in fact a Guyver. Intel believes it was he who attacked Chronos in Washington.”

“Then it would be them who are responsible for Chronos having to send forces from the USA to Japan?” asked Jason.

“Yes that is also what Intel believe, we’re not too sure exactly why but Chronos lost a lot of forces in Japan and they had to be reinforced from their US Forces. If the Red Armour or our new high powered Anti-Zoanoid Rifle had being ready then it would have being an ideal time to strike, but they were not so even with less of an army here Chronos would have slaughtered our resistance movement.”

“I agree General, but at least we know they exist out there but will they change what you’ve planned?” asked Sean.

“No they will not, we still need to prove to the world that we will stand against Chronos and that there is another voice out there. At least we know we will not be doing it alone. Tomorrow we will strike back and re-take Washington DC!” said General Carter.

Chronos Island – Central Complex

Aptom had fully consumed the Gustav hyper zoanoid. But Chronos was not without their answer to him. The man he had being chatting to had a huge surprise of his own turning into a Neo-Zektole as Aptom took form!

“How was that possible?” shouted Aptom looking at what looked like a perfect reproduction of a Lost Number, a Lost Number that took the first appearance of the Gigantic Guyver to defeat.

“Chronos has not laid idle waiting for you or the Guyvers to strike Aptom! Neo-Zektole was a Lost Number, but Zektole was not! Dr Hamical Valkus discovered a way to reproduce my Neo-Zektole from in stages!”

Aptom knew now he could be at a serious disadvantage remembering his battle with the first Neo-Zektole. But he had two important new powers since then! Aptom then vanished from the eyes of Neo-Zektole as he activated his cloaking ability. Aptom quickly moved from where he was standing as Neo-Zektole fired his arm beams at where he once stood. Aptom was not hit and the blasts went on killing two guys in their Chronos uniforms.

Aptom knew it would only be a matter of time before they found a way past his cloaking and made his way quickly to where he thought the Relic would be. In the canteen zoanoids looked around nervously for any signs of one of them being absorbed by Aptom. The only person not afraid was Neo-Zektole knowing his type of zoaform was designed to counter Aptom. But since then Aptom had updated his battle from and could now hide from him.

<“Neo-Zektole!”> said the voice of Alfrid Drano telepathically.

<“Yes my lord?”>

<“You are unaware of this but your type has being updated, your eyes can adjust to see through Aptom’s cloaking field. According to research he will look like a red blotch in humanoid form while cloaked to you. Go search for him!”>

<“As you command!”> said Neo-Zektole as his eyes adjusted from the command of the Apprentice Zoalord everyone around him looked now to have an odd haze around them. But after quickly looking around him he could not see Aptom. There was only one entrance to the canteen. Neo-Zektole ran out looking for Aptom but could not see him. But as he looked at the ground he could see what looked like heat traces on the ground that where already beginning to fade.

Aptom didn’t have much of a head start. He turned around sensing the powerful zoanoid behind him and realised somehow Neo-Zektole was sensing him. Knowing his cloak was now ineffective Aptom knew he needed to act fast blasting open a wall into the central section of the base. Two large fly like wings then extended from his back as he flew out towards open centre area of the base. Below him he could see two massive blast doors beginning to close! With all the speed he could muster Aptom flew down towards them. The two massive steel shutters did not take long to close despite the size of the large base. But just as they were about to close Aptom flew through a gap just wide enough for him as they slammed closed behind him. Neo-Zektole was too late as he was cut off from chasing Aptom by the base defences.

Aptom knew this moment of calm was only temporary and soon Neo-Zektole would be after him and he flew down closer to the ship itself. It was then it he noticed something different, this ship wasn’t the usual rounded dome shape that he understood the Ancients Relics normally were. This ship looked like a biological pyramid and as in Relics Point here in Chronos Island they had built the huge base around the living ship.

Aptom landed by the ship looking for the research labs hoping to see x-rays or something similar of the inside of the ship that would normally be close to the ship itself. But too his surprise there was none, just solid walls of concrete. Why would Chronos not have a huge research facility down here examining the Ship? Above him he heard the sounds of the massive base defence doors opening. Seconds later Neo-Zektole landed in front of him.

“You should have tried to escape the base rather than getting yourself trapped here Aptom,” said Neo-Zektole. Above him other bio-blaster zoanoids ran out to the railings above them and aimed at Aptom.

“Why would Chronos build a base and not have a research team examine the Relic?” asked Aptom hoping that with them having trapped him Neo-Zektole would be willing to give away something.

“What does it matter, you will die soon!” said Neo-Zektole

“Amuse me before I kill you.”

“You will not kill me Aptom, you will die here by the War Relic all alone!” said Neo-Zektole as he extended his forward vibrational swords and ran towards him as Aptom fired his head beam which bent around the shield that appeared around his body. Neo-Zektole’s speed dramatically decreased as his feet got covered in ice. Within seconds his body had frozen to a halt before Aptom.

“You are nothing compared to the original Neo-Zektole!” said Aptom as he raised his arm and fired bio-missiles at the frozen from of Neo-Zektole. Out of nowhere a series of laser beams blasted them out of the air before they hit Neo-Zektole. Behind Neo-Zektole two zoanoids appeared, one very large the other thinner both more zoanoids that Aptom recognised but these two were different to when he originally saw them years ago.

“Neo-Zektole isn’t the only hyper-zoanoid to be reprocessed and enhanced,” said Neo-Thancrus as he emerged from the darkness. His shoulders now had small but enhanced laser pods and his head now had a head beam similar to that of a Guyver. Though it is not as efficient as a Guyvers head beam it was perfect for rapid fire lasers that took out Aptom’s bio-missiles.

To the other side of Neo-Zektole the large Neo-Darzerb walked into view, his shoulders now contained the bio-missiles similar to that of a Gaster hyper-zoanoid but his lower arms had pods similar to that of Zektole. He didn’t say anything only started to breathe fire unto Neo-Zektole to melt his frozen body as Neo-Thancrus attacked Aptom.

Japan – Setagaya Prefecture – Odagiri Mansion

Two minutes later in the mansion that Guyver 1 and his friends had made their home Aptom flinched in pain as he felt the death of his clone on Chronos Island at the hands of the three Neo-Hyper Zoanoids. Together they made a potent lethal team, all resistant to his absorption ability.

“Are you ok Aptom?” asked Sho.

“Yes, but the cloned other me that was Chronos Island is dead. The Island is heavily protected by not just an army of zoanoids, but by three Neo-Hyper Zoanoids reproductions,” said Aptom. Sho rarely saw it but there was a look of concern on his face.

“What zoanoids types were they?”

“It was a reproduction Neo-Zektole, Chronos found a way to re-make the original Zektole and from there they reprocessed him into a Neo-Zektole. They did not just stop there and also made a Neo-Thancrus and a Neo-Darzerb. They have improved them like they did Zektole and both have additional weapons from other zoanoids types adapted and enhanced for their zoanoid battle form.

“Did you find out what is in Chronos Island before your clone died?” asked Sho.

“It’s a Relic Sho, a living ship like the one your Unit came from. But this one is different and is pyramid in shape. Chronos call it the War Relic!”

6am the 4rd of July 2010 - Northern Washington DC, in a seemingly abandoned Industrial Estate

Today was D Day for men and women of the ACTF. The ACTF had learned from the harsh lessons of the FBI during the Utah incident where one Zoanoid ripped apart Commander Atkins support team and many other engagements with Chronos before X-Day have being learned from. The soldiers of ACTF soldiers doing their weapon checks before the battle are equipped with the anti-zoanoid rifle. It fires a high powered round capable of ripping through the thick skin of most zoanoids. Around them captains checked with their soldiers that they are ready and go through the plan of attack with them, reminding them of their two primary targets even through it wasn’t really required. Every man, woman and child knew of the Pillars of Heaven the huge building dominated the Washington skyline and below it across the Potomac river was the former Pentagon building now the largest zoanoid production base in the East Coast of the USA.

Around these teams of three of four men help prepare the Red Armours, a group of five hundred men that will be using Dr Drake’s experimental anti-zoanoid Combat Armour. Basically a heavy armoured power suit with heavier anti-zoanoid rifles attached to their arms these are the ACTF’s answer some of the power powerful zoanoids capable of taking any up to the most heavily armoured standard zoanoid. But it is not very effective against the hyper zoanoids that lead the zoanoids.

They would face the Guyver US himself, their ultimate secret weapon. Guyver US is an experienced Guyver having already faced and defeated a Zoalord of Chronos and a Guyver Zoanoid. ACTF though since the day he met back up with Atkins have kept him secret. With his help the battle armours had something that they could train against over the last five years and it was no secret that even though ACTF had built up an impressive array of weapons the coming battle with Chronos would depend on him! Sean knew this but years of training for this day meant he did not feel the full stress of it.

Jason O’Conner worked with four other men readying his Red Armour. His was experimental in that he had too very large high calibre cannons that were mounted over the armours shoulders. This would hopefully give him the firepower needed to support Sean. But due to the limited amount of rounds his armour could carry that only permitted six shots per cannon. Reloading mid battle while possible if he found a supply truck wasn’t something Jason thought of a possibility, today’s battle was going to be fast moving and very lethal. He simply wondered if he would survive and if he would get to kill some zoanoids for what Chronos did to his wife and family!

Jason was not alone in this feeling; all around the ACTF almost every member of the tem had suffered losses to Chronos either personally or through family members. Being around others like that fed that feeling, keeping them all determined that on this day they would get their revenge on Chronos! “Squadron 1 move to exit point A, ten minutes until submersion!” echoed through the bases speaker system. It was time. The teams of people helping the Red Armours to get ready stood back as the first twenty five including Jason and Sean moved towards the exit lift. Behind them another twenty five Red Armours we moved into the large room and soldiers and technicians started to prep them as Squadron 1 stepped into Exit Point A.

“It won’t be long now guys, we will be the first to hit back at Chronos, remember your training and conserve your ammo!” said Captain Stone the leader of Squadron 1. “Yes Sir,” echoed through the lift. Jason stood their quietly focused looking at the timer on his HUD screen. The only person not armoured in Exit Point A was Sean, but simply put he did not need to be yet stood leaning against a wall. Everyone was quite now, waiting, contemplating what was about to happen. Minutes later their timers finished and the lift started to move up on schedule.

Above ground level the lifts pushed open doors leading into a large abandoned factory. Silently Captain Stone ordered his men to the perimeter of the building as the lift went back down to bring up the next group of men. Sean stayed around the middle of the group as they moved towards the south entrance to the building. All around was rusted equipment from the former factory. The factory was huge and took a full five minutes for the team to reach the exit of the building. As they expected no one including Chronos had yet to notice their existence.

“Ok men, you know the plan! We’ll wait here keeping an eye out for Chronos as Squads 2 to 5 get to the ground level and then we’ll proceed to spearhead the attack,” said Captain Stone as his HUD fed him information on what little movement was outside the building. Nothing only strays and rats seemed to be out there. The General really done well in picking this location and making sure it remained obsolete and uninteresting to those outside. Sean and everyone simply nodded. The plan was simply to take the most direct route to The Pillars and cripple Chronos command of the area before moving onto the former Pentagon and capturing the largest processing centre in the northern USA. Only problem was the countless zoanoids between their ACTF site and the Pillars.

Soon Squadron’s 2, 3, 4 and 5 which made up the only pure armoured squads were all on surface level. Behind them Squads 6 and 7 made up of two one hundred men teams all with light body armour and anti-zoanoid rifles joined them. As five large Abrams Tanks armed with a high powered modified machine gun on top of the turret capable of firing anti-zoanoid rounds now came up the lifts everyone knew it was soon going to be time to attack. Jason signalled Sean that it was time as he moved to an open area away from the squads and shouted “Guyver!” The blast field surrounded him indenting the ground and from the boost dimension appeared his Guyver Unit as it then wrapped around him. The natural high of being a Guyver filled Sean, but he calmed himself thinking of the plan. In front of him the large doors of the factory opened, it was time!

Chronos USA Branch – Pillars of Heaven – Washington DC

Even though it was Sunday, to Taylor Smith there was no reason not to be in the office. He had given up many things to become an Apprentice Zoalord and while his personal life suffered he had exceeded in Chronos. Today to him was like any other. The former day that used to mark the USA’s Independence was just like any other in Chronos controlled USA. Taylor was looking at a massive regeneration plan of the northern edge of the city wondering if this plan put forward by Chronos planners would have the desired effect. Poverty may have being eliminated by Chronos but there were still areas of the city and country that where disarray prevailed as he say it, and that went against his view of a perfect world to leave it that way. Taylor Smith’s line of thought was completely lost as the doors of his office burst open and a hyper zoanoid walked in, it was Zerebubuse though still in his human form and the leader of his zoanoid forces in the area and his personal protector.

“My Lord, Chronos is under attack!”

“Who would dare attack Chronos!?”

“They are men in robotic suits and a Guyver!”

Taylor Smith looked almost in shock at the statement. But quickly the look disappeared as he reached out with his mind to connect to those fighting the battle. His Zerebubuse was correct these where men in large Red Armours armed with high impact explosive rounds killing the zoanoid that he had connected with. As he over looked the battle from different zoanoids the realised this was quite a large armed force with soldiers with similarly armed rifles capable of killing zoa-forms and in their mist a Guyver! At first he thought it was Guyver 1 but he soon realised looking at his face it was not, this one was different.

“What is happening,” asked the Supreme Zoalord as he walked into the board room, beside him the Zerebubuse kneeled as he felt the presence of a full zoalord.

“Chronos forces are under attack from a Guyver and a large advanced armed human force equipped with weapons capable of killing zoanoids!” said Taylor Smith.

“Which Guyver is it?”

“It is an unknown Guyver,” said Taylor Smith as Zoalord Shin also reached out with his mind to see this Guyver. What he saw surprised him, it was indeed an unknown Guyver! He was similar to Guyver 1 but was not the same Guyver.

“I must inform lord Imakarum of this!” said the Supreme Zoalord.

8am - Northern Washington DC City Centre

The battle between ACTF forces and Chronos Zoanoids was over an hour old. With a mixture of surprise and sheer firepower the tide of the battle was with the resistance movement. Zoanoid after zoanoid was cut down before they got too close to the troops. Supply lines to the underground base were still secure keeping the army’s ammunition level high. Chronos bases and centres on the way to the city had being targeted fire, mostly these where made up of police stations and other former centres of law enforcement.

Guyver US had trained for this day for over a year. He was making sure that he did not use weapons that drained him too much, but most of these zoanoids fell easily to either head laser fire or to his vibrational swords. Off in the distance he could see the huge towers of the Pillars of Heaven, it was odd but the closer he got to it the larger and larger it got but it always seemed districts away. He knew the battle to capture that building would depend on him!

A short distance behind Guyver US Jason was getting his Red Armour rearmed with the explosive rounds that fired from his arm guns. Like Sean he was in the spear head of the ACTF push against Chronos. Zoanoids seemed to be coming from everywhere. Casualties to his team were light. Civilian casualties too were light thankfully because any person with common senses was keeping away from the battle on the streets and being that it was the 4th of July many still planned to celebrate the event and were at home.

Now fully loaded the ammo truck disconnected from Jason’s armour and as he rejoined the battle another from his team left the battle and went towards the ammunition truck to be rearmed. Ahead of them a fifty strong team of mixed muscle type zoanoids were charging towards the group. But they were being cut down by a mix of Guyver US and anti-zoanoid rounds from the Armours. “Men, they are testing us seeing how much fire power we have! Soon they’ll come at us with real force!” shouted Captain Stone. Jason agreed with that, Chronos were testing them, they’d heard of a type of zoanoid called Bio-Blasters that could shoot laser beams from pods on their bodies, but had yet to see any of this type of zoanoid!

The battle continued to rage on, zoanoid after zoanoid fell as the Red Armours and their other ACTF forces made their way to the Pillars of Heaven. It was not without great cost too for the ACTF as even with the raw firepower they had sheer numbers of zoanoids at times broken into their lines killing soldiers and the odd Red Armoured pilot. Deep within the Underground HQ of the ACTF General Carter sat in his car overlooking a custom table fitted with screens. He looked on at the live video feeds coming from both the Red Armours and the field helmets of the soldiers. He had trained them well he hopped. But would it be enough we wondered? Would the raw numbers of the hordes of zoanoids out last the supply ammunition? Would they keep up the battle and force a zoanoid retreat to give his men rest? It had to work, America would be start the war for Independence!

“How goes the battle?” asked the distorted voice behind General Carter as he appeared from the blackened area of the room. The only sign of the figure was his two pink glowing eyes.

“It goes well, the raw firepower of the anti-zoanoid rounds is killing the zoanoids before they get to the men,” said General Carter.

“You seem worried Mr Carter,” said the voice.

“You know me too well, yes I am worried. I’m worried if I have done enough to train the men and if we have enough resources to last us through the battle.”

“There is no point in worrying about it nor Mr Carter, you have trained them to the best you can, they are armed with the most modern weapons humanity can create.”

“I will keep them organised and I will keep them armed.”

“Let’s hope that is enough Mr Carter!” said the voice as the eyes disappeared into the darkness. General Carter un-muted his head set and shouted orders at the supply depots captain to make sure another supply truck would be on its way to Battle Group 1.

Chronos USA Branch – Pillars of Heaven – Washington DC

<“...and that is what Lord Alkanphel needs from you,”> said Zoalord Imakarum telepathically to Zoalord Shin Rubeo Amniculus. <“I will insure that it is done!”> he responded.

“Taylor Smith, prepare the defence of the Pillars of Heaven. You though are not to engage the Guyver or his allies directly!”

“Are we to be reinforced by Hyper Zoanoids?”

“No, you are to use what zoanoids are available locally. The Enzyme 3’s located in this building and in the 3Rd Operations Plant are being moved to Arizona.”

“Is this some sort of challenge to my command Lord Amniculus!?” shouted Taylor Smith clearly annoyed by what the Supreme Zoalord had said.

“You do not know the full picture of what HQ want us to do, you do NOT need too, you simply OBEY what is commanded of you!” said Lord Amniculus. It was not just words as he pushed the telepathic command on the Apprentice Zoalord. The response was immediate. “Zerebubuse, go prepare the bio-blasters for war with the Guyver and his allies and stop them from entering the building!” ordered Taylor Smith not once looking away from Lord Amniculus. Zerebubuse simply bowed and left as the two Zoalords looked uneasily at each other.

“We may very well lose this City to these upstarts and that Guyver!”

“If that is the will of Alkanphel that is what we will follow!” answered Zoalord Amniculus.

Outside the main entrance of the Pillars of Heaven the Zerebubuse arrived. Beside him twenty two zoanoids were handpicked were ready to join him. All of them bio-blasters, they would be the Pillars last line of defence!

Less than an hour later the forces of ACTF were preparing their final push on the Pillars of Heaven. Systematically they have taken over large sections of the city destroying Chronos installations on the way there to insure their supply lines would not be cut off or subject to a rearguard action from Chronos. Guyver US was kept in constant update of where he was needed from Jason who continued to work with Captain Stone and his men to killing as many zoanoids as they could supporting the Guyver without accidentally shooting him by mistake.

Now within one city block of the Pillars Squad one could see the huge base of the building just ahead of them. Just as another swarm of zoanoids rushed towards them Guyver US’s head sensors twitched making him focus ahead of the zoanoids. The zoanoids surrounding the base of the Pillars where not normal at all, they where shooting laser beams at them!

“Get to cover now!” shouted Guyver US but it was too late for five members of his team including Captain Stone himself as they where blasted apart. Disorganised by the attack as they retreated behind cover the zoanoids closing in on them got close.

Very nice read. Looks outstanding so far (as always).

[xtro guyver]

very nice preview, looking forward to the reading the finished fic

[McAvoy]

Excellent preview. Just a note, military and even government men use the 24 hour scale. 630am is 0630 or zero six thirty. I don't expect Sean to use this but Jason would.

[Tempest]

good job sully cant wait for rest

[Sully]

Thanks guys, glad ye liked it.

Excellent preview. Just a note, military and even government men use the 24 hour scale. 630am is 0630 or zero six thirty. I don't expect Sean to use this but Jason would.

I know they use 24 hour clock... how do I put it.... there's some people other there who don't know 17:00 = 5 PM.

As you said, Jason and other character will use it if I remember to put it in!

[Sully]

Update time. I'm about 14K words into the new start of Union.

I'm at the point Gigantic Guyver and Guyver US will meet (though it's not happened just yet), but it's not going to be the same as before at all. The big change to before (this isn't giving away much) is Sho will be around to help ACTF get established in the wider USA. He (and later Agito and co) will spend more time with the Sean, Cori and Jason before they go on their mission for the War Relic.

The main reason for this change is to basically build up trust and the relationships between this characters and to give Agito and chance to be.... well Agito. It will also give a chance to build up the Chronos storyline and what happened to the six fallen Zoalords. Then the part where the Grakken attack, I actually want it to make sense. Like Time War they will be an unknown, part of the build up to Time War and then towards Rescue.

I'm not sure yet if this will turn Union into a 2 parter or not. I'll decide that the closer I get to 4K words.

No ETA as of yet, the story simply isn't at that stage yet, when I get closer to the point of what I'm writing can link into what I wrote in the past that will get easier to judge.

Anyway hope you all had a fun Halloween, and are looking forward to the holidays!

[Sully]

Time for an another update.

Union of the Guyvers will be a two part story when the rewrite is done. The first part is basically a setup for the whole fan-fiction and will introduce the main players and explain what is currently happening.

At the moment the main character I've yet to focus on is Agito and what remains of Zeus Thunderbolt. After that I want to include a new part to the story, and build on Guyver US and his part in this new section.

This will then lead to the end of Part 1, which will end with the Grakken. This is about half way now and I've cut out most of the old story that simply doesn't fit the above. It's taking longer than I thought as while I'm writing new stuff in, fixing old stuff to match what we now know i've also to keep in mind the current fan-fiction and where I want it to go. Overall it seems to be working well.

[McAvoy]

Excellent. I am looking forward to it especially the Gigantic Guyver vs. Grakkens fight.

[Sully]

Being a long while since I'd a chance to do some update on what's happening.

Last December and the end of November wasn't a good time for fic writing, basically my job kicked into over drive and I spent a lot of time driving for 5 hours to a site in Northern Ireland... GREAT Milage and money, sucky for fic writing. But in the end job comes first (money is what puts this site up after all)! Things are settling down, hopefully more so over the next month or so meaning I can get back to my fic writing ways.

First week back on the train, and back to writing, after some beinging pains of "What the hell was I writing last month?" I've finally wrote more than 1 line this morning and have basically got to the point where Guyver US's story and that of Guyver 1 meets. I'm sure I said this once before, but I'm sooooo looking forward to this story being wrote as it's hard to do. intro stories are hard to make right, more so if you've a huge cast. It deffo isn't fun to have a character you like writing about in Jason and you can't use ANY of his Warrior Unit stuff yet never mind the Dreadnought armour.

All in all it's good though as I get to show the meaner side of Jason, the one that still wants vengance!

I'm still not close to the point I can easily guess when this part of Union will end, I'd say I'm about half way with the story at 15K words. Part 2 of Union should be more fun to write, less intro and more of a Focus on the build up towards and in Chronos Island.

Hope you all had a nice X-Mas and year years!

[Sully]

The rewrite is coming along, I'm now at the last fight with Chronos for this part of the story. After that will be the new introduction of the Grakken. I've yet to decide how to do this exactly or at what point.

The only thing that is certain is this time Guyver US isn't thinking she's dead, he knows she's being kidnapped (as you guys saw in that Time War story). How this is to be done though is the question, the only thing for certain is there will be a lot more than just one Grakken.

BAsically once the above part is done that will finish off Part 1 of the story and lead into Part 2 which will focus more on Guyver 3 than Guyver 1.

[Sully]

The last fight with Chronso has taken a lot longer than I expected thanks to work. But I'm finally making head way. One of the major things that pretty much gave me writers block the last fortnight was Taylor Smith. I just wouldn't have him become a Proto Zoalord Murakami clone! So I've done some investing in time in the character design and given this Apprentice Zoalord some real nasty. I'm not going to go into it here to keep the surprise but he'll be fun to use.

This will be a character I would like to also post a fic of with some fan-art so it's got me back in a creative grove.

This weekend should see be working on the site rediesgn, I'm not sure if it will be stuff I'll upload as I'm working yet but I'm chaning web programs and upgrading as I go. Hopefully it'll make those 10,000 odd HTML pages of links a little easy to manage!

[jedi-guyver]

*nudge*

[Sully]

*nudge*

It's still coming along. I probably shouldn't have done Time War before this story but such is life as it would have being easier to write, more so the dialog as I've to develop Taylor Smith to be interesting and also explain a lot with Chronos. The battle of New York is almost done, there's basically one last part to do that is very important.

Once that is done I get the fun of introducing the Grakken. That will probably be easier than how it happened in the past, though more complicated in another way (Cori will be kidnapped in that story, so the question is when to time it and how to involve Sho and Sean).

[Sully]

Update time, working on the last story block of Part 1 of Union. At a rough guess if things continue as they are over the next 2 to 3 weeks it should be complete then.

I'm looking forward to that as going to what was basically the start of fiction and trying to explain things and write about story lines that simply didn't exsist when I first wrote the story many, many years ago has being more defficult than I expected. Fun though, it'll be nice to carry this on throughout the story and see how the new plot lines work out.

[McAvoy]

I will look forward to it.

[jedi-guyver]

*nudge*nudge*NUDGE!*

[Sully]

Part 1 is finished

All I'm going to say it restarting the story isn't easy... Thank feck that part is over and from here on I'm dealing with already created characters that have had development and not having to remove a Grakken from the story that was idiotic!

I plan on getting the story up either this weekend coming or the one after. I'm going to an Aslan gig on Saturday night in the local night club so will be most likely too hungover to do anything after that this weekend

[xtro guyver]

read it and enjoyed it Brian

lots of lovely new detail and character I look forward to part 2

[Sully]

read it and enjoyed it Brian

lots of lovely new detail and character I look forward to part 2

Thanks Xtro, thankfully Part 2 of this story is a little more fun to write. Simply put it's not fun writing orgin stories and at least now that part 1 is out of the way I can have more fun with the story.

[guyverfanatic]

Haven't visited here in forever, so I need to read it, lol.

[Sully]

This story is finally finished, I've sent it to a friend to proof read and find some typo's (which he's done so now I've to correct them). So we will have an update soon. I've done some minor edit's to Part 4 of Time War as well which takes soem small changes into account from Union's Rewrite. That was prety much finished this morning.

Though what I want to do now is re-read what was said between Cyber Guyver and Female Guyver 2. Make any minor edits that are needed to explain and setup the story of the Lisker "family" and show some complex realations to it in regards to this version of Valcuria. Their story will be told throughout Revenge and All Things Change.

[McAvoy]

Excellent! I am looking forward to it.

[Sully]

Union is ready, at the moment though I've finished re-reading and editing Time War Part 4 to match up and about 2/3's the way through Time War part 5.

So far no drastic changes to Time War, just minor edits to add in things like why the Japanaese Guyvers are not there (which changed in Union) and also to make sure the Cyber Guyver and Female Guyver 2 storyline works (given that we now know they are adopted brother and Sister in the comic books). Which so far it does.

At least Revenge and the Warrior Guyver 2 story will be a lot more interesting now to re-write
