OOC: Lalaru is based off the character of the same name from the really cool anime "Now and Then, Here and there"

IC:

Countless millennia in the past

Years ago Cronos had taken over the world in the event known as X-day. Although that even had been full of violence and confusion, in the aftermath the world had been quick to adjust. However this was only a false peace, numerous enemies had soon emerged from the shadows bearing their fangs at the new rulers of the world. This was the beginning of a conflict that would bring the world to its knees. One of the people at the center of this was Kintaro Souma, a brilliant but eccentric scientist that worked for Cronos. However, he had not yet revealed the part that he would play in the coming war.

It was Kintaros day off and was spending some time at his little brothers house. Kintaros brother Rentaro also worked for Cronos attempting to follow in the footsteps of his big brother. Rentaro wasn’t nearly as successful as Kintaro, his brother was looked upon as the golden boy of Cronos who had helped develop a more efficient method of processing and now superior soldiers, the bio warriors who were essentially androids built using bio booster technology. Rentaro on the other hand had made no significant contributions to Cronos and worked as a run of the mill scientist in one of their many labs. Like Kintaro he was also an Otaku, his favorite anime was Naruto, possibly because like Naruto he was also an underdog in the shadow of his genius brother. Someday he hoped to surpass Kintaro with hard work, but it looked like that might be an unattainable dream.

“So how’s the bio warrior project going? I hear some of the higher ups are pretty excited about it!” Rentaro said excitedly.

“Yes, the bio warriors will make even hyper zoanoids obsolete, they’ll revolutionize the way things are done in Cronos.” Kintaro contrasting his younger brother seemed a bit disinterested in talking about his project but he still smiled, no one but him knew exactly how much they would change Cronos.

“That’s great! You know I’ve been thinking of getting processed, that antibody they make us scientists take is such a pain in the ass. And if I’m a zoanoid I’ll also be able to kick some major butt!”

“You shouldn’t get processed.” Kintaro said looking out the window.

“Why not? You’re a zoanoid.” Rentaro said confused

“There are certain side effects to processing that are kept secret. Only high ranking scientists like me know the full extent that processing affects a person..”

“Yeah but, it can’t be as bad as having to take that antibody. Just what are these side effects?”

“That’s classified information. Under normal circumstances, processing might be preferable to having to rely on that antibody, but soon Cronos may have to call on every zoanoid at its disposal for something dangerous.”

“You mean to fight the guyvers or that rogue zoalord Diablos or even that Kamen X superhero wannabe?”

“That and another reason I can’t say anything about right now. Just wait a month before you think about being processed.” In a month Cronos might no longer exist if everything went according to plan. As it turned out Kintaros worries about his brother were unfounded, at least his worry that he would be processed into some cannon fodder zoanoid that would be used to fight against his bio warrior rebellion. Rentaro along with four other scientists and a soldier who was training to be processed as a hyper zoanoid Ace Nevill were chosen to go on a mission into deep space. According to his superiors, their mission was to test out a new type of interstellar craft and to scout out a particular area for any inhabitable planets. Supposedly this was a mission of exploration, at least that was what Rentaro and the other members of the crew were told.

Two months later on board the Sagitarius III interstellar exploration vessel.

The Sagitarius III was puny in comparison to the Ark, but it was still quite large, it even came with its own training room. “RAAAAAARRRGGGHHH!” Rentaro ran at Ace with a bo staff attack only to be flung across the room into the wall. The muscular guy with the shaved head laughed at Rentaro as this had been the 25th time today he had been completely pummeled by him.

“Well you’ve got spirit, I’ll give you that. But , you have about as much common sense as brick. Coming on a straight on attack on a foe with superior strength and skill is nothing but suicide.”

“Sh…shut up…I’ll beat you yet! But right now….I gotta lie down.” Rentaros body was hurting all over as he slowly made his way to his room. He took out a small bottle that contained several pills. Kintaro had given it to him before he left.

“Take this with you, your not a zoanoid, just a regular human, so chances are you’ll experience a number of ill effects after prolonged exposure to such a hostile environment. This is some experimental medicine I’ve been working on that should keep even a normal human fit under those conditions.” He handed him the bottle. “Be sure to take the first pill after you lift off, you can take the others at any time.”

That had been what his brother had said to him, he popped another pill in his mouth, he’d almost run out of them. To be honest he wasn’t sure if they were even helping, his body still hurt just as much as before, whatever this new medicine was, it was a real dud. After swallowing it he made his way back to the bridge. His fellow crew member Jill Hyung was sitting at the bridge reading a book. Jill was a Chinese woman with dark hair. She had worked as a fellow scientist before being recruited for this mission.

“Hey Jill!”

“Oh, looks like Ace kicked your butt again.” She said looking up from her book.

“Yeah, you know I’ve asked this before, but why do you think Cronos picked regular people like us for this mission. Don’t you think it’d be better to send zoanoids?”

“Cronos says that they need all the zoanoids they have to stay on earth to fight their enemies. I don’t know if it’s the truth or not, but were here nonetheless.”

“My brother was saying something like that too…But still…” Before Rentaro could say anything more the ships sirens went off as something abnormal was detected. The other crew members ran to the bridge as the image of a huge ship similar to the Ark was displayed.

“Hey that looks like the Ark, what’s it doing out here?” Rentaro asked.

“You idiot, that’s not the Ark!” Ace shouted as the ship fired some strange ray at their ship, as the white light washed over the vessel the entire crew lapsed into unconciousness.

Countless Millennia passed since the disappearance of the Sagitarius III, no history books would ever make mention of their disappearance, because in their absence, the human civilization that had taken millennia to build had been all but exterminated.

Five years prior to the present timeline in an alternate version of the world.

Lyall stood atop a high cliff overlooking a valley full of hideous mutated plants. Lalaru picked a hell of a place to run to. Lyall and the other soldiers accompanying him were all infused with special antibodies made by Dr Gori to counter the effects of the bio contaminates of this world, but already five of his soldiers had died. Another one had began to mutate hideously and had to be put down for the safety of the rest of the troops. The sooner Lalaru was found, the sooner they could get out of this hellhole, their home dimension wasn’t the nicest place, but it was better then this dump.

Somewhere nearby

"Vroooomm....pow pow!" A huge monstrous creature sat on the barren ground playing with a broken toy car, it rammed the car into he ground smashing it bofore melting it into a pile of goop on the ground. Not to far away from him sat a rather bored looking bright green colored guyver who was looking over a pile of junk in a bag.

"Man those guys we fleeced didn't have anything good!" said the guyver, formerly known as the human Cliff Yablonski before he found his unit. It had been several years since he first met Spore, the strange monster that possessed unbelievable strength and an appitite to match. The creature in its childlike innocence trusted Cliff completely and was easily manipulated into killing and devouring any enemies that might come after him. And given Cliffs troublesome nature, there was no shortage of enemies. Cliff had grown weary of this existence recently, if there was any profit in it, no matter how ridiculous the scheme was Cliff would do it. More often then not whenever he scammed a village or even a group of bandits it would usually end with a lynch mob coming after him that would end up being subdued by Spore which would devour anyone that tried to hurt him. He had to figure a way out of this, he had to hit it big so that he wouldn’t have to continue doing this. But even with Spore there were limits to what he could do.

"Hey, is there anymore sausages in there? I'm still hungry!" the giant tentacled beast lumbered over to him looking in the bag.

"Here eat this Spore. It’s some fine Mexican cuisine!" Cliff handed him a candlestick which he promptly ate shredding it instantly in his multirowed mouth of vibro fangs.

"Tastes stale...I want a candy bar too...sausage and candy, I like candy sausage! Chocolate cheese!" The monstrous creature went back to playing when it noticed something, not too far away from them what appeared to be a little girl sat on a rock watching the setting sun. She had blue hair and looked to be about 12-13 years of age. Aside from the unusual hair she looked perfectly human. Cliff noticed her too, she couldn’t be real!

"What the hell?" she wasn't there a moment ago.” Why was it that she appeared to have no mutations? Everything on this world was infected with the Styxx virus, this had to be some sort of hallucination.

Spore lumbered over to the girl "Hi My names spore, lets play!" Spore held up a rock that had a crudely drawn smiley face on it. "This is mittens the kitten, he’s so furry and purry! But he needs to eat more vegetables!” Spore reached down and tried to feet a stick to the rock grinding it to saw dust. The girl didn’t run or scream, she merely turned to face the huge beast and the guyver accompanying him with a blank look on her face. What struck Cliff about her was her eyes, they were a shade of blue he’d never seen before. Cliff had made it as far as he did for several reasons, one was Spore, another was that he could tell a lot about people just by looking at their faces, which was how he was able to pick out good targets to scam. Just looking at this girls face she seemed to have an aura of innocence about her that was something one just didn’t see in this place, but at the same time those eyes seemed to belong to someone who had lived countless years. He could tell just by looking at this girl, this was the break he was looking for! This was it! Cliff began to walk towards her when suddenly a booming voice called out.

“Stop right where you are!”

“Wha? Huh!?” Cliff had been so distracted by the girl that he had no idea that he had just been surrounded by what appeared to be an army of gorillas!

“Yay! Monkeys!” Spore said in glass as he looked at all the gorillas. All the gorillas began to transform growing into huge hulking hyper zoanoid apes. Their leader, Lyall was the only one who didn’t bother transforming.

“Lalaru, we’ve come to take you back.” Lyall grunted out. The girl who must have been Lalaru got up backing away, she was at the edge of the Cliffside and had nowhere to run.
Even if she dove off the side, some of those apes looked like they could fly, she wouldn’t be able to escape.

“Lyall, what the hells this thing?” one of the gorillas asked, after he transformed Spore had wandered over to him and seemed to be sniffing his body.

“Do you have sausages? Or maybe Lasagna, I like lasagna!”

“Never mind that thing, kill it and get Lalaru!” The hyper zoanoid apes claws extended into vibro blades as he thrust at spore, Spores tentacles automatically changed when this happened forming blade of their own countering the apes blow.

“I want lasagna!!!!!!!!” Spore formed a huge pincer like arm which sliced off both the apes arms before ripping the top of his head off. “Lasagna!” Spore dug in slurping up his brain in an instant before shoveling the ape’s entire body into his mouth ripping it apart. Spores body changed growing several large muscular arms which smashed intot he nearby apes trying to subdue him. Lyall had ignored Spore pushing Cliff out of the way grabbing Lalaru.

“Dr Gori! I’ve secured Lalaru!” he shouted into his communicator.

“Good, Good, I’m glad to see you didn’t screw up for once Lyall.” A dry voice on the other end said as a white bubble of energy began to form around the entire area.

“Mittens is hungry too!” Spore smashed hit pet rock into an apes head only to have it shatter. “Nooooo! Mittens!” Spore began to crew from his multiples eyes ripping nearby apes apart in his temper tantrum from losing his “cat”.

Cliff looked around, what the hell was going on? What was this weird bubble of energy coming around them? Suddenly in a blink of an eye the entire area inside the bubble vanished leaving a gaping hole in the ground.

When they all reappeared they were all inside a strange metallic room. Lyall lifted up Lalaru in one hand for all to see. Dr Gori, the blond chimp in the control room smiled, this was the real Lalaru, with her, his plans would go more smoothly. However it appeared that several stow aways had come along from the other world. Spore was going postal , bits and pieces of apes went flying through the air as his tentacles changed into blades and guns blasting, slashing and ripping through anyone that stood in his way.

“I want candy!” Spore shouted as a he ripped the intestines out of one of the stronger hyper apes that had dared to attack him. He looked to see Lyall trying to leave with his new friend. “Noooo! You can’t have mittens!” Somehow the huge beast in his confusion had gotten Lalru mixed up with his dead pet rock. Barreling through the apes he knocked Lyall over before picking up the quiet mysterious girl in one tentacle. A number of wings grew from Spore back before he pointed one tentacle at the ceiling. Something resembling a mega masher lense formed on the end of the tentacle right before a blinding white flash erupted from his arm blasting through the floors above.

“WEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!” Spore shouted as he ascended through the hole.

“No! Stop him! They mustn’t escape!” Gori shouted but it was too late.

“Ahhh…my head…” Cliff got up only to find several pissed off looking hyper apes looking down on him.

“Uhhh…Spore? Spore…whered that stupid ass go? Hey listen you guys, there’s a VERY good explanation for all this!” Cliff said backing away in fear.

5 years later

A shooting star shot through the night as something came down in one of the lesser inhabited areas of the desert.

The next day

Ace stood outside in the blaring heat looking down at what was left of the Sagitarius III in disgust. “What the hell happened?” he remembered nothing of the mysterious ship they had encountered so long ago. They had reached the solar system they were to scout without incident. After sending back a report, they had gone into cold sleep to prepare for a longer journey to a second system they were to scout out before heading home. The computer was supposed to be a flawless navigator based off the Arks own system, how had this happened? Well at least they seemed to have crash landed on an inhabitable world.

“Awww man…this is heavy…” Jack Daniels, one of the other scientists said after viewing the wreckage.

“So this means we won’t be able to return to earth.” Jill said looking hopeless.

“Not a chance! I’m going to rebuild this ship! And were going to fly back to earth! Believe it!” Rentaro shouted right before Ace smacked him on the back of his head.

“Right now, we gotta find some shelter. If we stay out here in the desert we’ll get dehydrated, this planet is similar enough to earth that we can walk around with no environmental suits. There must be water on it. Pack up any supplies we need, we should head out on the hover bikes to search for water once the sun goes down some”

The others did as Ace said after heading out it was several hours before they found anything in the barren wasteland. The one to spot the first sign of Life was Jack.
“L-look! To the far right, I can see some trees!” The five of them headed in the direction, sure enough, further inside the patch of forest was a small lake.

Rentaro was about to run over to it and jump inside but Ace stopped him “Hold on there. None of us are zoanoids, if there’s any dangerous bacteria or contaminates in there we’ll die. We should put it through the filter before we drink anything, after all this is an alien planet, humans weren’t made to live here.” Right after Ace got done saying this however they spotted something splashing in the water further away. Some people were swimming in the lake further up the shoreline, they were all buck-naked too. “What the fuck?” Ace was the first one to voice his mind when he saw this.

“Wait, this isn’t possible! Why are there people here?” The fifth Crewman Weland said looking at them.

“Lets go find out.” Ace pulled a rifle out of the back of his hover bike and began to walk towards the people. When he got a closer look he could see they were just kids probably in their early teens. They had probably come here when the sun was still up to play in the water and would probably be leaving soon.

“Hey you kids!” Ace called out to them, they heard him but none replied, they just looked at him with blank faces with no hint of understanding. “Where is this?” Ace asked them, they didn’t reply. “Can you understand me?” they still didn’t say anything, but the nearest boy suddenly growled, his body bulged as he transformed into a huge hairy zoanoid.

“Holy shit!” Ace fired aiming at the zoanoids face blasting out its eyes., the bullets went into its brain killing it. The other kids screamed running into the woods. “Hey wait!” he shouted out. Just as Ace said this he could hear a sound blaring through the trees that sounded like some sort of horn. The kids who were running away looked around panicking before they themselves transformed. Suddenly a red beam of light lanced out blowing two of them away. The remaining zoanoid backed away growing as something made its way through the woods. It was another zoanoid, but it was bigger and more feral looking then any human zoanoid Ace had ever scene. It smashed its fist against the human zoanoid knocking it out before slinging it over its shoulder. It then turned to face Ace. More pairs of red eyes appeared throughout the woods as more of them emerged, many of them were carrying incapacitated human zoanoids, what was going on here?

Ace quickly ran back to the others “Quick, we’ve gotta get out of here!” he began to say , but right as he said this several scaly zoanoids exploded out of the sand around them. One of them speared Weland with its tail ripping him in half. Jill tried to run away only to be beheaded. Jack was grasped in a huge claw lfted into the air, it squeezed down crushing his bones.

“Wait! Were with Cronos! Why are you doing this?” Rentaro called out, but when he did this, all the zoanoids suddenly looked very surprised and confused.

“What the hell? Am I hearing things?”

“That animal just talked!”

“Nonsense! These aren’t even zoanoids, their just regular humans.”

“Aren’t regular humans supposed to be extinct in this part of the world? We better take them alive!” One of the larger zoanoids grabbed Ace and Rentaro knocking them out and putting them in a sack “Dr. Zaius will probably want to hear about this.”

OOC: DF Coming soon

IC:

"Wake up Deacon." The voice was soft and sweet, like a mother attempting to rouse her child.

"Wake up Deacon." The voice repeated itself with the exact same inflection and tone as before. The average listener would begin to question the origons of the voice and Deacon had done so as well the very first time he had heard it. Slowly his eyes widened into a world of green and black haze that undulated back and forth in a slow moving wave that perpetuated itself back and forth lazily.

"Wake up Deacon." The voice prompted again. It would continue to do that until he finally gave the confirmation code that indicated he was conscious once again. Depressing a stud on the wall he watched as the liquid within his bio tube drained out quickly and emptied itself into a holding tank somewhere deep within the bowels of the ship.

"Synth DE-C010, Deacon is awake." he said to the voice, actually it was the onboard ship's computer. With an affirming hiss the bio tube opened up and Deacon stepped out to the two awaiting Chronos operatives. Deacon's body was one of advanced physical development and was scientifically perfect. Standing at average height he awaited patiently as the two officers stared for a moment. As they observed him he in turn observed them. The one of the left, Dr. Harvill, was a middle aged adult male. His greasy black hair had grown apporximately 3 centimeters since last observed denoting that Deacon had spent some time in statis. While incredibly intelligent Harvill was not known for his physical apptitude as evident by his protruding stomach and arms composed of mostly fat deposits.

Dr. Conners, the female on the right, gave Deacon a reassuring smile as she read over the information filtering onto her data pad. She had red colored hair, which intriqued Deacon since no Synth had been designed with anything other then black or blonde colored hair. The data pad hummed with information from Deacon nano-computer, a minaturized pc that was wired into his brain that allowed him to access ship's systems, information as well as keep his commanders informed of his status at all time. It was also his main form of communication while out in the field.

Deacon was known as a Synth, which was short for Synthetic Humanoid Zoaform. He had not been born but instead grown in a lab by scientists similar to those who stood before him at the time. He had been created to be genetically perfect, no worries of sickness or disease, able to surive in even the most difficult of enviorments with minimal supplies, trained in high gravity enviorments to improve his strength and speed, and made to be completely loyal. His kind was the lowest on the totem pole of Chronos. Designed to perform tasks that Zoanoids refused to do but humans where ill suited to do. Deacon had been specifically designed for military purposes and was placed aboard The Odyssius for protection.

"I trust everything is functional?" he said in his monotone voice. Dr. Conners looked up from her screen and responded with a smile and a nod.

"According to your nano-computer you are in perfect condition."

"Of course he is," said Harvill, "this guy has the best body money can buy. Did you know that on average it costs more to grow one Synth in the lab then it does to convert ten Ramoths and then Synth takes almost a month longer? I still dont get why we have these things around." Harvill had never liked Deacon much, and the feeling was mutual. While not plagued with emotions like true human beings Synths still had some residual emotions that could not be eliminated. Instead Synth's where taught extreme control over their emotions. That said Deacon still did not like Harvill. The man took ever opportunity to mock Deacon and question his usefullness.

"Ignore him Deac," Dr. Conners said, "we have you around because we need you and you are a valuable member of the crew." He liked Dr. Conners very much. While it was not needed she had always went out of her way to make Deacon 'feel' like part of the crew and not a piece of equipment

"Why was I activated?" Deacon asked. Synth's where only removed from their bio-tubes when an assignment came up that they where required for. Dr. Conners tapped several keys on her data pad and Deacon's nano-computer linked with the ships main pc and accessed the file she had sent to him. Apparently a spacial anomaly had been discovered by the ship's long range sensors and Deacon was required to scout it out. Normally Synth's where not used for deep space exploration but Deacon was different. Deacon was a Guyver. While on a mission on the moon they had discovered a Creator vessel and Deacon had been asked to scout inside. While removing rubble he had come into contact with a unit that had merged with him. Despite this Deacon was still the same as he was before the unit. He was still a tool, now he was a more powerful tool.

With a nod signifying he understood his missions Deacon left the storage bay and proceeded quickly to the air lock. As he did so he noticed several crew members staring at him. It took him a moment to realize what the problem was. He had forgotten to dress himself again. Synth's didn't have modesty like the average human did. Stopping at a quick supply room he dressed in a standard uniform, put on a exploratory survival kit across his back and procceded to the air lock.

"All set Deacon?" came Harvill's voice. Deacon knew they where monitoring from the ship's bridge now.

"I am ready." he replied.

"Proceed with exploratory mission 26-j15b." With a nod Deacon activated his Guyver unit. As the air lock open he drifted out of the ship and when he was once a safe distance away flew forward. Soon travelling at top speed Deacon raced through the vacumm of space. He felt his head sensors twitch as he came within visual range of the anomaly.

It looked angry. The anomaly appeared to be a whole in space that sucked everything within its surroundings into its dark maw and consumed it.

"Do you see it yet Deacon." he accessed his nano-computer and used the ship's pc to analyze what he saw before responding.

"The anomaly appears to be a distorted black hole of immense size. While it has a significant amount of gravitational pull apparently the pull is somehow distorted. I am reading numerous contacts along the electro magnetic spectrum that could symbolize energy spikes."

"That's good Deac. Keep your distance but continue to observe. Update us as need be."

As Deacon prepared his response suddenly a massive energy spike rippled through the anomaly and instantly Deacon felt a tremendous pull of gravity. He tried to resist but the sensation was far more powerful then even his guyver could handle. Within seconds he was pulled into the anomaly and everything went black.

*An Undetermined Amount of Time Later*
Deacon slowly felt his eyes flutter as he regained consciousness. As the cob webs cleared from his mind he sat up to discover himself on a hard surface. Looking around he saw a great deal of colored dirt all around. It took him a moment to realize he was in a crater. Apparently he had slammed into the surface of some strange planet. Standing up he leapt out of the crater he had made and landed softly onto the ground. Searching his surroundings Deacon realize he was in a desert enviorment. He also noticed his Guyver had deactivated. This was strange in and of itself. Focussing for a moment he tried to reactivate his unit but it would answer his summons. Perhaps it had become damaged and would not activate until repairs where finished. While he had not experienced this before he did know that it was possible.

First order of buisness was to contact his ship. He closed his eyes and activated his nano-computer and attempted to connect with The Odyssius. Attempted because he was unable to do so. Conscerned by this Deacon came to a haunting realization.

For the first time in his life

he was alone

OOC: The map I put up in the other section shows the locations of important countries as well as the larger bodies of water the world has left. Yeah most of the world’s water went somewhere. Smaller countries like the one in this post and small bodies of water like the one in the opening post do exist but I didn’t bother putting them on the map.

IC:

Somewhere in the desert, several strange reptilian looking birds took to the sky as the sun rose scorching the land with its heat. Lalaru shielded her eyes with one or her small hands and turned away from it. She enjoyed watching the sunset, but when the sun rose, it filled her with an unexplained feeling of foreboding, she hated the sunrise. She sat down on one weathered rock, had she been here before? Last time this rock had been quite a bit bigger.

It had been five years since Spore had escaped with her. The large beast had wandered over to a watering hole they had come upon. “Fishies!” Spores tentacle lashed out into the water spearing a fish. Pulling the squirming fish from the water he looked at it, this one had three eyes and two tails. He held it up in front of Lalarus face only to have it pushed away. Spore hadn’t gotten her to eat anything yet in the time they had known each other. While she could eat Lalaru didn’t need to and the stuff that Spore would usually try to offer her just wasn’t very agreeable with her. That didn’t matter to Spore though, that only meant there was more left for him. He quickly ate the fish as if it were nothing before going back to playing.

Somewhere else

“Wake up you damn animals!” A large Gorilla kicked Ace and Rentaro.

“Aww shit…what happened?” Rentaro groaned.

“We’ve been captured you idiot!”

“Silence!” they both heard the voice of an old man talking. Standing before them was a stocky blond Orangutan. He turned to the gorilla “Leave, and tell your friends to speak nothing of this! The safety of our village depends on it!” The gorilla nodded and left. He then turned to the two humans “My name is Dr. Zaius. I won’t say where it is that you’ve been brought, but if you wish to stay alive, you’re going to answer my questions. Where is it that you two came from?”

“Earth. Or Japan if you want to get really specific. Where is this? What’s with all the talking apes?”

Ace looked like he wanted to punch Rentaro, but he didn’t have to because Zaius did it for him. “I’m the one asking the questions here! These names, “Earth” , “Japan” they don’t mean anything to me, what are they? Underground cities? Your group was found nearby the forbidden zone. When you find one rat there’s usually an entire nest hiding nearby. How many of you are there?”

“Listen doc! We didn’t come from any stinking underground city, we came from space. According to our ships computer fifteen years ago was when we were sent out on a deep space expedition by our government to scout out a path in deep space that a larger vessel called “The arc” would eventually take. I’m not sure what happened but it seems something went wrong and we crashed here. But this doesn’t explain why there’s talking zoanoid apes here, if this is really an alien world…our ship said only fifteen years passed, but maybe…” Dr. Zaius hit Ace.

“What kind of fool do you take me for? Travel through such vast distances of space is impossibility! If you won’t tell me the location of your nest, there are others here that are far more persuasive.”

“Why are you so interested in this so called nest? Were just humans, if what you thought was true and there were more of us, what threat could we pose to you?”

“It’s not you I’m afraid of, it’s what you might have in your possession. If the Banana Republic learns of you, there’s no telling what could happen!” Dr. Zaius went over to the door and motioned for his Gorilla guard to come back inside. “We only need one of them alive to spill the beans, take one of them away and kill him. Take the other one to Zira, she may know a way to make him talk.”

“Banana Republic? You gotta be joking, a bunch of talking apes with a country called the Banana Republic!” Rentaro began to laugh while Ace just groaned in irritation.

“Kill the annoying one.” Zaius said.

The gorilla nodded grabbing Rentaro by the scruff of his neck “Hey wait a minute…were telling the truth! Stop! I’ll never laugh at bananas again!” He shouted as the gorilla dragged him away.

The Gorilla took him out behind some hills so that no one could see them. “Don’t worry, I gotta make this as quick and clean as possible so you won’t feel a thing.” As he said this, his body bulged and exploded outward into a huge red colored spiky shell similar to a Zerbubuse but much larger and more feral looking.

“No! This is all wrong! How can you do this! We didn’t do anything to you!” Rentaro said getting up. “How can you treat people like this?”

“Maybe if you were an ape that’d mean something to me. But an animal pleading for its life is just creepy.” The hyper zoanoid gorilla held up its arms and a weapon pod opened up, Rentaro recognized the weapon, it was similar to Noskovs sonic cannon. To them they were just animals that could be killed, experimented on or kept as pets, come to think of it, humans didn’t treat apes that great either, if a talking ape had showed up in the world he knew, would it be any better off then he was now? Now wasn’t the time to ask such philosophical questions though, he was about to die! The Hyper Gorillas weapon let loose a sonic scream as it was about liquefy Rentaros flesh and bones, but then something unexpected happened. Rentaro couldn’t explain it, but right before the cannon fired, he could feel his body changing and growing into something else, it was as if this change was triggered by the sudden danger he was put in. After then cannon fired, everything around him was obliterated.

That had been really weird, the gorilla thought to himself, right before he fired, he thought he saw this guy start to change into something. Well it didn’t matter now, he was dead! But just as he was thinking that, the gorilla noticed a visible form standing in the middle of the crater as the smoke cleared. “Impossible!” the gorilla stammered out taking a step back.


Deacons location


As Deacon was taking in his surroundings, he suddenly felt a huge tremor as if the entire area was being shoot by a huge earthquake. But from what his sensors told him that wasn’t what it was, something huge was moving at extremely high speeds beneath the earth. The tremors didn’t last long as whatever it was passed him up.

About ten miles away from Deacons location was a settlement similar to the one Rentaro and Ace were currently held in. Soon they would be in for a very unpleasant suprise.

Somewhere in the banana Republic

Looking out from a high tower was an ape with white colored fur, this was the leader of the Banana Republic, the one who referred to himself as “The Benevolent General Krug”

“General Krug, I have some new news to report to you. Concerning our hunt for Lalaru.” He recognized the voice as belonging to his mysterious advisor, the ape known as Silent Green. Several years ago on the recommendation of Dr. Gori he had taken Silent green, a man who appeared to be a green haired chimpanzee on as his advisor. Gori had done well, the Banana Republics military campaigns advanced much faster after he came on board, but they still hadn’t found Lalaru.

“Lalaru! Tell me! Tell me what you found!” Krug turned around to look at his advisor with wild eyes grabbing his shoulders.

“Yes, as you know the creature traveling with Lalaru carries an alien virus not found anywhere else on this planet. If you would look here, I have something interesting to show you.” Silent Green held up a map that had various red X’s marked off. “Each X is an oasis near the forbidden zone. In each of these bodies of water we found traces of the Styxx virus. Due to the nature of this worlds climate, the Styxx virus was unable to spread here like it did in the world it came from. However, it was able to thrive in these bodies of water. Nearby each of them we found bodies of various travelers who have died from drinking the water as well as one mutant that survived exposure to the virus and was captured alive. It’s been five years since Lalarus escape, yet only seven oasis ponds have been contaminated, I think it’s safe to assume that while they may be moving around, their staying in the same general area.”

“Excellent, my ambitions rest solely on the shoulders of that girl! We must get her back at all costs! I don’t care if you need to comb the entire forbidden zone! Find Lalaru!” Krug barked his orders.

Sunlight spilled in through the window over the sleeping figures black hair covered from and at exactly the same time in uncanny co-ordination the alarm clock rang waking him up.

The gorilla got up springyly and saunter'd half walking on his huge knuckles to the bathroom, did his business, got showered and dried.

The large figure brushed himself down, put his Mohawk into shape and whipped on a pair of Dungarees over a sleeveless T-shirt and finally pulling on 50 tons or so of gold chains.

He checked himself in the mirror one last time before heading down stairs going past palm tree wall paper and swinging down the banister and finally into the kitchen on one of many well placed monkey bars round the house.

In a moment breakfast was prepared, the cereal he was eating came from a box with his picture on it generiously gifted with milk, a glass of milk beside it, a glass of buttermilk beside that, a banana flavoured milkshake beside that and a yoghurt...with some toast.

The Gorilla cleaned his plate's and glass's and went out the front door swinging on round on the Monkey bar there to land infront of his garage. He took a bite from the vitamin breakfast bar he grabbed on the way out (it was made with milk) and pressed the button on his keys.

The garage door opened and the Mohawked Gorilla climbed into his custom 1982 GMC Van. Most people thought it was all black with a red strip horizontally across the middle but the upper part was actually dark metallic grey.

The gorilla punctually pulled out of the drive way as the engine started with a statisfying hum, glad he stayed in Aluca where he had such a damn fine van. Many people waved as the dark metallic grey, red stripped, bottom black 1982 custom GMC Van passed and the gorilla waved back.

Sudden the van stopped, something wasn't right, the gorillas helluva good sense's sensed it and then he heard it, it was a car slumming it down the road, he could hear it's engine clunking and then it's exhaust backfireing. The old lady orangutan driving jumped and slammed it into a street pole.

Our mohawked dungaree wearing hero hit the pedal and then braked spinning the steering wheel coming to a perfect stop alongside the crashed vehicle then leapt out to see what could be done.

Single handedly pulling the car free then straightening it on the road he could see clearly now that the old lady was ok, just a little shocked but was badly upset and crying "My insurance won't cover it....and I can't pay fo repairs" she wailed.

The gorilla reassured her it would be alright, "But how?"

The 1982 Custom GMC Van's side door was pulled open and the gorilla lifted out a hand held blowtorch "Don't worry, I can weld anything Ma'am"

The old lady's car hood was lifted and the gorilla went to work, despite the fact he only had a blowtorch there was the sound of hammers and a potent power drill and the hood was shut down now looking clean and pristine without any damage despite her not actually seeing him work on it, "Try it now Ma'am"

Key's turned hitting the old vehicles iqnition and the engine blasted out a roar like a brand new 18 wheeler, "How can I thank you?"

"Just trying to help Miss" came the deep grizzled reply.

Another roar of the engine and the car speed away the old lady hanging out the side, "Yeeeeehaaaaaaa!"

After a few more moments of pleasurable welding fixing the damaged street lamp the 1982 Custom GMC Van was on it's way again and not too long later pulled up beside a large crowd of people many of which had they're kids with them.

He jumped from the drivers seat as he opened the door and ran to the podium in front of the building which had a red ribbon in front of it and stepped up where a monkey was waiting, "And now opening the new youth center, Mr G!!"

Mr G stepped up and without any stupid hackling took the huge pair of decorated scissors from the monkey which in Mr G's hands looked like Toe nail clippers and abruptly cut the Red Ribbon then turned back to face the Podium.

"Forget stupid fool speeches, I'm just gonna say this.
Kids remember to eat and drink all your Banana's and Milk.
Stay in School
And don't do drugs!!!"

OOC: I'll have the DF up as soon as it's finished, still working on it.

ooc: holy crap its Mr. t but he's a gorilla! The character Rie is another character from Spectreman. She was only in the first 12 episodes, but was one fine foxy lady as they would say in the 1970’s. Unfortunately she left the show because of a family tragedy, I really missed her in the later episodes, the new female lead was too boring for words. What was kind of funny is that Lyall seemed to have some sort of king Kong style infatuation with her.

IC:

When the dust cleared a very strange zoaform was standing where Rentaro had been a moment ago. It looked like some weird amalgamation of NeoZektoll, Enzyme 3, Libertus and a bio warrior. In other words it looked just Like Kamen X did at the time when Rentaro left earth.

"What the hell? What's going on?" Rentaro didn't remember ever having been processed into a zoaform.

The ape hyper zoanoid had taken a step back in surprise but that soon passed "Your some sort of hyperzoanoid? No matter, a human hyper zoanoid is no match for my power!" it reached out trying to crush Rentaro who reached out in an attempt to block the attack. He wasn't expecting it to work, but somehow he was matching the hyper apes power. He dug his claws into the ape’s knuckles burning them with enzyme 3's acid.

"Arghhh..You little..." he backed away blowing on his hands.

Rentaro looked at himself, this looked just like Kamen X's zoaform, how was that possible? Now wasn't the time to think about that though, he needed to beat this guy and get out of here. If he remembered correctly Kamen X had alot of beam cannons. All the weapon pods on his arms and legs opened up and he fired a barrage of lasers ripping through the hyper ape before he took off flying away.

Ace's location

"Damn it! What the hell do you want from me?" Ace struggled in vain.

"Is this really necessary Dr. Zaius? Think of all we could learn from him, if I use these drugs on him there's a strong possibility it could cause brain damage!"

"Even so, we must do what we can to learn where this animal came from. Administer the drugs!" the chimpanzee woman Zira reluctantly took a needle and injected something into Ace's neck. Ace continued to struggle.

"That's odd, he should be sedated by now."

"Give him another shot!"

"But Dr. Zaius! That could kill him!"

"Just do it!" Reluctantly Zira was about to comply when suddenly the Gorilla holding Ace howled in pain, several blades shot through his body ripping it in half.

"Arrghhhh!" Ace screamed, some sort of metallic goop was seeping out of his skin slowly covering his entire body. The sound of flesh ripping and reforming could be heard as two new limbs grew out of his side.

"Guards! Guards!" Dr. Zaius called out, this man possessed a weapon from the forbidden zone! No doubt he'd kill them all if he were allowed to fully activate it!

Above the village

"Wooooohoooooo!" Rentaro hadn’t gotten used to his new wings yet and was awkwardly flying around above the village. Below he suddenly heard a number of loud bangs go off as the base of the building he and Ace had been kept in exploded sending out a plume of dust. He could make something out below standing amid the cloud rising from the building. It had the same sort of sensory spike as a guyver , but it had multiple arms, what the hell was that?

Several nearby apes transformed charging at the new Figure. On the wrist of one hand a pod opened up. Something seemed to slice through the air, as it passed the zoanoids they all stopped. A nearby boulder was split in half, the top half slid falling to the ground with a loud thud. Moments later the three zoanoid collapsed, various body parts had been severed falling to the ground.

“What the hell is that?” whatever it was it looked up at Rentaro, aimed its weapon pods at him and began firing, unlike its previous attack a number of loud bangs emitted from the pods. Within less then a second Rentaro felt something rip through his body. What just happened? He was falling now! He crashed into one of the nearby huts ripping through its ceiling. Kamen X possessed an enhanced version of NeoZektolls armor, NeoZektoll was thought to be the strongest hyper zoanoid ever built by cronos, his armor was estimated to be strong enough to withstand the punch of a gigantic guyver. Kamen X’s exo skeleton according to samples obtained was even more durable, yet whatever this strange guyver like being did, he’d just shot through it as if it were paper.

Rentaros censors moved “Damn it…he’s coming! I can’t die here!” His shoulders changed into the Libertis maser cannons.

“Mommy!” he looked to see a little chimpanzee boy cowering next to an older female chimpanzee presumably his mother.

“Don’t worry, I’ll defiantly protect you! I’m Kamen X the defender of Justice!” from what Rentaro had heard the mysterious self proclaimed super hero usually shouted something like that before fighting, but somehow he just couldn’t think of anything as cool as what the old Kamen X would say, he’d have to work on that later.

The strange Guyver was outside the hut now, Rentaros masers blasted away at full power, two powerful blasts of energy lanced out of his shoulders annihilating veering between him and the strange guyver. The guyver dodged out of the way with insane speed, as it soared over the blast it fired several times down at Rentaro blowing off his arms and legs before it came crashing down on top of him. It pressed one arm cannon against his head.

“What the? Where am I? What’s going on?” he recognized that voice, that was Ace!

“Ace! It’s me! What are you doing? Why did you attack?”

“What? Rentaro? Bloody hell your Kamen X!” Ace almost fired on him again but stopped.

“Well I wasn’t until a moment ago….I’m not really sure what’s going on…but thanks to you my legs are gone, so if you could give me hand…”

“Fine lets just get out of here!” The multi armed guyver helped Renataro up before fleeing from reinforcements to the zoanoids they had just killed that were beginning to arrive.


Meanwhile


“Lyall! Come to the observation room at once!” Dr. Gori’s voice beckoned through the speakers.

The bumbling gorilla soldier happened to be attending to his pet at the moment. When Lalaru had escaped into the Bound system, locating her hadn’t been the easiest of tasks. She could have gone to any point in time on countless alternate worlds. The first world Lyall had gone searching for her in was similar to 1970’s earth in Japan. While he was there he found a human unlike any other he had ever met. Unlike the humans that lived on his own world, she was small and beautiful with red hair. There was just something about her that the gorilla soldier couldn’t resist, his men all made fun of him saying he was into bestiality, but they soon learned to shut up as Lyall gave all of them a good pummeling with his superior strength.

“Lyall! What’s taking you?” Dr. Gori’s voice echoed through the phone.

“I’ll be right there doctor, I’m just feeding Rie right now!”

“I don’t need you here to feed me, just go and leave me alone you big idiot!” Rie sighed, why did she need to be locked up here? It had been four weeks now with this big hairy ape treating her like some sort of pet.

“But Rie, I want to see you eat your Rie snacks…their good with lots of calcium!” Lyall held out a box full of what appeared to be doggy treats. Rie hated to admit it, but the food he gave her wasn’t half bad. However….

“Just go!” Rie took the box throwing it at Lyalls face. The large simian sheepishly left the room. Rie would always insult him, she was the only one besides Dr. Gori who seemed to be able to get away with it. Did Lyall actually like being talked to that way? Did she amuse him? She needed to get out of here, but that was starting to look like an impossible dream.

Lyall walked into Dr Goris observation room, on the screen was a picture of Zeron destroying the village he was attacking. “Lyall, you see the destructive force of Zeron. Don’t you?” as Gori talked he always over expressed himself with various hand gestures. Lyall thought this made Gori look even more intelligent and would try to copy his movements with little success.

“Of course doctor, it’s always a pleasure watching your monsters in action.”

“It’s a waste of potential Lyall! Zeron is a product of super science beyond which General Krug and the banana Republic have little comprehension of, it’s pearls before swine! Eons ago, humans laid waste to this beautiful blue planet with the same technology. Our foolish leaders are making the same mistake, but soon Lyall….yes very soon….” As Gori talked seemingly infatuated with his own words he continued making hand Gestures.

“Damn Dr Gori looks so smart…I’ve got to try harder…” Lyall thought to himself as he tried to ape out the same sort of hand gestures.

“Currently I have three beasts created by this lost technology at my disposal and soon Gokinosaurus, whose combat prowess is even greater will be completed. But I am forced to subject myself to that mans whims, do you know why that is Lyall?”

“N-No Dr. Gori, why is it?”

“Lalaru has not been located, even with the mighty Gokinosaurus completed, Aluca, the new oasis empire and others will still pose a threat to us. But with Lalaru, the most precious resource this world knows will be ours to control, do you know what that is?” Gori asked pointing his gloved white finger in Lyalls direction..

“Uhhhhh…..Bananas?”

“No you oafish brute, water! The essence of life that once flowed freely on this planet giving life! But that precious substance was stolen during the ancient wars that nearly destroyed our world. To control this world, to restore it to it’s rightful form, that girl must be found!” Gori made about four different hand gestures in one fallow swoop which Lyall tried in vain to imitate.

“Green has already advised General Krug in how to go about doing that!”

“Yes Green, what a handy accomplice we have, I just hope he isn’t too smart for his own good.”


At the edge of the forbidden zone


The blue haired girl that the entire Banana Republic had mobilized to find sat atop a plateau watching a large plume of dust get kicked up in the distance. “What’s that?” Spore asked.

“A monster…yes…one of my siblings, from before….we should leave here.” She turned walking away followed by the giant lumbering beast.

In the distance, what they had caught a glimpse of revealed itself in all its fury to the ape village that was ill prepared to resist. It was a titanic beast whose body was covered in giant horns that made even the biggest hyper zoanoids look like insects.

“REEEOOOORRGG!” Zeron roared as his horns began to vibrate, sonic waves shot in all directions decimating the villages defenses. Nearby zoanoids and hyper zoanoids were instantly liquefied in the onslaught.

A small chimpanzee girl with a stuffed monkey doll fell to her knees crying as the giant monster approached her. Just as Zeron towered over her ready to unleash another sonic attack a number of beams struck his hyde, they didn’t seem to do much more then scuff it up, but inside the monsters brain he could hear Dr Goris voice. “Zeron, that’s enough retreat!” The huge monster turned as more weapons fire struck his thorny hyde with little effect.

The ones who had just attacked were instantly recognized by the village elder as the elite soldiers of the Banana Republic! They had the village surrounded! “Nooo! It’s over! It’s all over!” he said falling to his knees

The hyper zoanoid who seemed to be in command strutted into the village before announcing “We of the Banana Republic elite special forces have driven the desert beast Zeron from your village. Your safe now!” he said as he surveyed the wrecked houses “However it has become clear to us that this village is ill prepared against the many dangers the desert has to offer. As of now, this territory is under the jurisdiction of the Banana Republic desert restoration project. You are all now citizens of the Banana republic, in exchange for the protection we offer, the only thing we ask in return is that all able bodied citizens come with us to the capital to be reprocessed so that you may serve our forces as effectively as possible!”

“You! You didn’t save us! You sent that monster!” the village elder said running out at them.

“Shut your treasonous mouth old man!” the hyper zoanoid ape kicked the old chimpanzee elder as two other hypers walked over taking him away.

This village was nearby one of the oasis where the styxx virus was found. It sure would be lucky if they ran into Lalaru on the way back.

Deacon had dones his best to make sense of his situation. He was stranded on a new world, his main link through his nano-computer was off line, he was unable to ascertain the status of his guyver, and something very large and very powerful had just passed through not to long ago. Things where not good to say the least.

As he viewed his surroundings he remembered the survival pack across his back. He pulled it free with some charred remains of flesh as it slipped off his back. It hurt but Deacon had been taught to ignore pain since his first awakening. He activated a button on the side of the back and after several moments it opened up.

Chronos had been first and foremost a genetics research company, however their nano technology was second to none. If his nano-computer was special enough certainly the contents of the pack was. Held within its frame was a large number of small tiny cubes. Each cube was in fact a condesened and minaturized item that Chronos felt would be needed for survival. Without hesitation Deacon began activating the nano-cubes and watching as they returned the items to their original size.

As each item returned to its original size Deacon qucikly found a place for it and within minutes he suddenly felt a great deal better. He was equipped with Chronos's standard issue sniper rifle, sub machine gun and hand gun. Each weapon was designed for dealing with anything up to a proto zoalord when used in the right hands. Deacon's hands for instant. There where many rumors as to why the Synths where created but Deacon's handler Dr. Conner had been the one to inform Deacon.

While dealing wih rogue factions within Chronos trouble had begun when Zoalords would command enemy troops to slaughter their own support crew and scientists. It became more and more difficult because so many Zoanoids back then where not willing converts so psionic control was the only real way to keep the loyal. Hence the birth of the Synth. While not as powerful as a Zoanoid the Synth's where far smarter and loyal to Chronos because they where trained to, they wanted to, not because they where forced to. Armed with sufficient firepower, like Deacon was now, a Synth was more then capable of combating other Zoaforms and in the very least by civillian members a chance to flee during a rebellious interlude. The Synths where successful and Zoanoid uprisings fell drastically. Every now and then a rogue will try the ploy but many have learned, a well armed Synth is not something a Zoaform wants to see.

As he finished activating his gear Deacon placed a forearm scanner on his right arm and secured his eye piece. No matter what he would be ready for trouble

As Mr.G was finishing up his speech, shots rang out and people started to panic. Someone in thr crowd had a gun and was trying to ruin the grand opening of the youth center.

"Stay calm, Foo's! Mr.G can handle this" He bellowed at the crowd.. then he felt the cold kiss of metal as a gun was applied to the back of his head.

"I think not, Mr.G.. We've been payed good money to make sure you don't walk away alive" His assailent said.

Mr.G looked over the audiance, most of them had fled, but a few of them had stayed behind, obviously more assassins. However.. one of them caught his eye.. it was a chimpanzee with a wide brimmed hat and a beard rugged enough to rival some gorrillas. This chimp walked up behind one of the assassins and tapped him on the back of the shoulder. The chimpanzee meet Mr.G's gaze and gave him an almost imperceptable nod.

"New orders from the boss" He said to the guy he had tapped.

"Oh yeah.. what did he say?" The guy didn't even turn around, his weapon still trained on Mr.G.

"He said this.." The chimp then threw off his disguise, wearing a tanned leather vest with tassles hanging from the sleves, a bright shiny beltbuckle caught the light as he lept into the air, and his fadded jeans seemed to move almost too fast for a chimpanzee. "TEXAN ROUNDHOUSE!"

The chimpanzee exicuted a whicked spinning kick, kicking the assassing in the side of the head hard enough that bones could be heard cracking several feet away.

"What the hell? Get him?" The lead assassin shouted, poiting at the newcommer, but he relaxed his stance a little too much, so Mr.G elbowed the guy in the ribs, knocking the wind out of him, and then threw him over his shoulder, knocking another pair of would-be assassins down with the guy's weight and the power of the throw.

"I pity the foo's that mess with the G" Mr.G said as he backhanded another guy, and then the chimpanzee did a flip over one guy and used a double kick backwards to smash him into his buddy, knocking the last assassin onto the ground.

Mr.G took a moment to make sure all the assailents were down, then walked over to his rescuer. "What chu doing here? I thought you'ld be outwest filming a movie or something"

The chimpanzee looked up at Mr.G with a wry smile. " Well, you know how it is.. I stopped to save orphans from a burning orphanage, and happened to be in the area.. so I came out to see you.. and it's a good thing I did."

"Chimp Forest, you some sort of wiseguy.. but your one of the goodones" Mr.G held out his hand and the two shook hands like old buddies. "Not that I needed the rescue.. I could have handled it.. those punks were weak.. obviously didn't eat thier bananas as kids"

Chimp Forest laughed and shook his head. "Allright.. lets try and wake these guys up and see who sent them after you"

Mr G nodded in agreement then grabbed one of the stoolies and started shaking him, "Talk fool or you gonna pay for ruining this opening!"

"I won't break, die infidel!" the gorilla tried to spit in Mr G's face but he was still dazed from the fight and it went sideways landing on his own face, even though it didn't hit Mr G it still made him mad "You done it now fool!"

Chimp Forest heard the gorilla make screams and cries for help but then started to get cut out until they stopped completely. The man was choking on a parking meter bar Mr G had pulled out the ground and bent round his neck. Chimp Forest turned round just as Mr G eased off to let the gorilla breath "I want my mommy, Mommy!!!"

"Quit yo jibber-jabber fool, who sent you!" Mr G shook the parking meter swinging the sapians head around.

"Mommy, mommy sent me" he'd started openly crying now and th tears were coming fast.

"Tell me fool or when I wrap you in banana peels I can't send yo foolself back to yo mama to be buried!!!!"

"Alright please, New gorillas, they did. For the Empire!" Mr G dropped him and kicked him unconcious. He stuffed the parking meter back into the ground and straightened with his hands. It was all still twisty though and Mr G decided that was good enough of any excuse to do some welding and pulled out the hand held blowtorch from earliar he'd stuffed into one of the dungaree pockets.

After some brief but relaxing welding Mr G went back over to Chimp Forest "That stoolie said all these fools here from the Gorilla empire"

Chimp forest looked up at Mr G's face "Why they after you anyway, you've never said, The Banana Republic's after you aswell"

"I just used to come from there, every one knows that" Mr G looked away at something intently in the sky.

"Which one?"

"Either" said the primate trying quickly trying to change the subject.

Chimp Forest only knew as much as the next person in Aluca. Mr G had managed to get to Aluca and defect one day but from either the New Gorilla Empire or The Banana Republic wasn't known, it was guessed he probaly had ties to both, but after his defection he proved to be a model citizen, helped them fight back aggressors and eventually earned they're trust and respect and ended up where he was now.

The chimpanzee put it out of his mind right now but something told him that information from the interrogated gorilla was suspicious.....

Chimp Forest ran his hand through his ultra-rugged beard for a moment.. then he propped himself up on a bench as he stared into one of the would-be assassins' eyes. And he just stared into the assailent with a feirce gaze, unblinking. The Gorilla began to sweat and get uncomfortable really fast, and seemed to be fighting against something internally for several moments.

Mr.G knew was was happening. Chimp Forest was a master at this techniquie.. which was known as the Texan Staredown. Alot of Chimp's moves were supposed to be lost arts from a great land called Texas, that few people even beleaved to have ever existed. But to those few who could track down and master the moves. they became like legends.. and Chimp Forest was one of the best at this move. Some people say that the sun rises and sets becuase Chimp Forerest Stares it down in the evening so he can sleep.. others say he could stare down even Bobo the great lawgiver.. but one thing was certain.. when you were subject to this move, you loose all rational thought.

Finally, the assailent cried out. "I give! I give! We're from the Banana Republic! My squad and I were psycho conditioned to pin the blame on The New Gorrila Empire. We were sent to kill Mr.G for his... his.." And then the gorilla went limp.. his mind overwelmed by a combination of the mental stress and his earlier beatings.

"Well.. that worked" Mr.G folded his arms over his chest, this heavy gold chains shifting with the movement.

It was about then that the police came and rounded up the suspects, taking them downdown for questioning.

"Hey chimp.. Wanna go get a BananaBeer?" Mr.G asked.

"I'm afraid I'll have to turn you down.. and you remember what happened last time"

"YEah.. the bar exploded.. The strangest thing" Mr.G rubbed the back of his head in confusion.

"Well.. I read in a magazine about that incident.. apperantly our fans think the bar exploded becuase it simply couldn't handle that much awesome in one place" Chimp shrugged and adjusted his hat. "I'm running late though.. I've got to go film the next scene in my new movie.. but let me know what turns up from this.. I have a feeling about this one"
And with that, Chimp turned and began to walk away.. Stopping to roundhouse kick a car that had lost it's breaks before it ran over some children on the sidewalk.

OOC: Karas is the dub name for Lyall, which is why I named his battle form Karas.

Somewhere in the Banana Republic


"SKREEEEEK!" The Benevolent General Krug grabbed one of his advisors swinging him across the room like a rag doll sending him crashing through the wall. "They failed! Incompetance! I'm surrounded by it! Not only have my men failed to locate Lalaru, but the assassins failed against Mr G as well! SKREEEEK! HOOHOOHOO!!!!" Krug went into a tantrum destroying everything in the room. Green, his top advisor watched in silence, he didn't particularly care to get in the way of one of Krugs tantrums. Although it was before his time, he had heard Mr. G used to be one of at a distKrugs top men before he defected. Apparantly Krug had taken it personally and had made a number of assassination attempts since then. These apes never ceased to amuse him.

"Standard assassins won't be of any use against someone as badass as Mr. G but Dr. Gori has been working on a new porject recently. If you would follow me sir, I'll show it to you. It's still incomplete as of now, but when it comes to fruition, you might want to make use of it." Krug after wrecking up the place had jumped onto his anti stress tire and was swinging back and forth but stopped as he heard the sugestion.

"Very well, show me what you two have been up to." Krug followed the green haired chimp deep into the scientific facility beneath his palace. Even Krug didn't know how big is was, Gori actually had his lab here before the palace was built. When Krug had made his alliance with Gori he insisted on having his palace moved to this location so that he could keep an eye on the doctor. This was the place where Gori conducted various experiments on lost technology.

He lead Krug to a room where a large gorilla was in a processing tube "This is Kah, our guinie pig subject for Karas MK II"

"Karas? Yes Gori mentioned that type." Gori had mentioned completing a very powerful zoaform called Karas which he had processed Lyall into, the top soldier under his command. "But wasn't Karas a lost number?"

"True, but this isn't actually the same as the original Karas, we had to make several changes to make him compatible with mass production, he's not as strong as the original Karas is. But his abilities are well above those of a regular hyper. What do you say? How would you like to see our guiniea pig fight against Mr. G in our first test run?"

"Green, you and Dr. Gori are the only ones I can count on, I'm surrounded by incompetance and traitors, don't dissapoint me!"

"Oh you needent worry sir, we won't!" Green smiled, this foolish dictator was easy to manipulate, the only one he had to watch out for was Gori. He had to make sure he looked like he was completely loyal to the blond chimp.


Somewhere else in the desert


When Deacon scanned the area with his equiptment he could see what appeared to be a large group of hyper zoanoids issuing a large number of what looked like ape people into a large carrier vehicle. They weren't bothering to take any of the elderly, they were only taking younger apes who were in good physical condition. What were they doing there? Although these looked like hypers he didn't recognize any of these types, not only did they look bigger and stronger then any regular hyper zoanoids he'd seen but according to his scanner many of them were putting out three times as much bio energy then even the strongest hypers, it might not be a such a good idea trying to go up against such a large number of unknown foes at once.

Deacons scanners beeped as they reported something else that was closer then the large group of zoanoids in a nearby range of plateaus near an oasis. According to what he was detecting, one of them was probably a human girl, or at least something that had comparable bio energy. But she was with something else as well, his scanner couldnt tell what the secondery being though, it was a complete unknown, whatever it was, its bio energy far exceeded that of the hypers that were off in the distance.

Spore was begining to walk away with Lalaru riding on his back when he stopped. "Mmmm....someone new is nearby..."

"A zoanoid?"

"No, different, maybe he has something yummy to eat."

"Wait, Spore..." Lalaru knew it was no use trying to hold the beast back, if he wanted to do something no one could stop him, hopefully whatever he was sensing wasn't with the hypers that were attacking that village.

Just out of Deacons sensor range another figure was watching all this from a distance, for the past year he had been tracking Lalaru. Those idiots in the Banana Republic had no way of finding her, but after his awakening he had discovered how to use his powers properly, one of his abilities was to detect other beings infected with the Styxx virus. As long as Lalaru was by Spores side, he would know her every move.


Rentaro and Ace's location

"Whooooooh this rocks! Check it out I can grow my libs back....man I was so worried that I was going to be a quadropaligic!" Ace had taken Rentaro out of the village and the two of them were hiding in a vally full of rocky formations.

"Yeah, Kamen X could do that too. But this doesnt make sense, if your Kamen X, the medical should have picked it up before we were sent into space."

"How many times do I have to say it! I'm not Kamen X! I just look like him! I'm confused about this too, and what about you? Your some kind of guyver?!"

"Yeah, that's new to me too. I don't even remember attacking you, I passed out and the next thing I knew I was about to blow your head off."

"Ok, well at least we know we aren't helpless now. What should we do now?"

"We should head for the forbiddon zone."

"Forbiddon zone?"

"That annoying orangutan said that's where he thought we came from. I think that at the very least, if were going to find any answers we should go there."

"Where is it?"

"We were found on the outskirts of the forbiddon zone, all we need to do is backtrack where we came from and then keep going. In theory we should be able to find it."

Rentaro nodded, his limbs had finished regrowing and he was about to go follow Ace who had already began to head in that direction when he heard something. "Rentaro..." that had been his brothers voice! He turned in the direction the voice came from but didn't see anything, it was probably just his imagination.

Mr G went back to the podium just in front of the youth center as the fool Gorillas were being hauled away by the Police or Monkey Sqaud as they were sometimes known, "Ok fools, everythings safe, get in the youth center and start enjoying yo self's......or else!"

Normally this wouldn't work and everyone would still be screaming or other stupid crazed crowd things that people do but since it was Mr G no-one questioned it and started piling into the youth center.

A small kid ape stopped in front of Mr G and held his Mr G action figure up, "Mr G when I grow up, I wanna be just like you"

Mr G smiled and pulled out a cardboard box from behind him somewhere, it said 'Mr G Crunch cereal' and he gave to the ape "Here son, now remember Eat and drink all your Bananas and Milk, Stay in school-"

"-And don't do drugs!" The kid shouted finishing up and ran into the youth center with his action figure and box of cereal held high. Mr G got mushy and wiped one of his eyes.

Anyway after that he ran back to his custom 1982 GMC van and jumped in. So the Banana Republic was after him again, this had been they're first attempt in awhile, he'd almost hoped it meant they'd given up but he wasn't so hopeful he'd believe that for a minute. Mr G though to himself he should probaly expect the New Gorilla Empire to try something soon now aswell, wherenever they caught wind that something happened they usually tried to follow it up, and vice versa with the Banana Republic.

The van turned as Mr G made his way to report on all the details of what happened to Aluca's government, the Monkey Sqaud would do that but when he first came to Aluca they'd wanted to keep tabs on him and it was one of the conditions he'd had to accept to be able to stay just after his defection. At present they didn't really care anymore since he was so awesome but he still made sure to do it anyway.

Elsewhere

Deacon turned to give another look at the simians being forced onto the carriar vehicle by the unusual hypers when he spotted camoflaged movement. If not for his keen training, equipment and the simple fact that whatever it was moved he wouldn't have seen it, now that it had stopped it was almost invisible again.

One of the hypers gaurding the perimetor of the town and carrier vehicle watched on making sure no-one was looking at him when he sneaked a banana and covered him self trying to eat it. He was also a tiny bit further away from the others and at an odd angle which made him a bit less noticeble helping his subterfuge, it also helped the thing stalking up behind him.

The hyper suddenly felt crippling pain in his back as he lost feeling and control of his legs and was pulled backwards to the ground and into cover, the last thing he felt was a keen blade slicing through his neck.

A moment later the silent killer picked up the banana and took a bite. Simple food, a banana no less. He hadn't eaten for awhile now and the food brought him a deal of pleasure satisfying a basic need if only momentary.

The figures eyes harded again though as he crawled back dissappearing and a few moments later another Hyper at the edge was killed in chilling silence as the stalker cleared the perimetor....

OOC:
Mr G's DF will be up soon in an hour or so and I'll have this other characters df up sometime tonight or tomorrow.

"What the hell? What's going on?" one of the hypers in command roared as one of the bodies of the mysterious killers victums were found. "Who did this?" he growled out looking around at the villagers. These were among the elite hypers of the Banana Republic. Some country bumpkin zoanoid should not have been able to kill them so easily. What was going on?

"Please! We don't want anymore trouble! Just finish what your doing and go!" an Orangutan who was an assistant to the village head said trying to calm the hyper. "No one here is strong enough to kill your men, you know that!"

"Oh no, we didn't just kill him ourselves, one of you did it! We came here to protect you from the Desert Beast Zeron, and this is the thanks we get? An example needs to be set! Burn down this village after you finish loading them up!" he commanded the other hypers that were just finishing up loading all the able bodied apes into the carrier.

A bit further away

Deacon was about to investigate whatever his sensors had been picking up when he spotted a huge monstrous creature emerge from the nearby rocks. Spore had taken Deacon by suprise, acting on instinct he unloaded a number of shots into the huge beast.

Spore took a look at his great mishapen arm where the armor piercing anti zoaform rounds had hit. "Ouch...your mean..." he flexed his armand the bullets popped out.

"What in the world?" Deacon had never seen a creature like this, his weapons were powerful enough to put down hypers but not whatever this was.

"Your mean! Mean people need to stop moving...I'll make you stop moving!" Spores arm grew several long curing blades from his fingers as he approached Deacon who was getting ready again. But then he felt something tug one of his tendrils. Lalaru was tugging on him trying to get him to stop.

While this was happening a couple of hypers that were now ssetting fire to the village spotted some sort of skirmish in the distance, using their enhanced vision to zoom in they couldnt believe their eyes, it was Lalaru.

Meanwhile

Ace and Rentaro arrived in a desolate barren area that stretched out as far as the eye could see.

"So do you think this is the forbiddon zone?"

"Looks pretty forbiddon to me, don't see why that damn dirty ape thinks we came from here though. I've never seen such a lifeless looking hell hole!" Ace said looking around, they had traveled there using their newly discovered abilities. Ace's head censors swivled around. "Wait, maybe it isn't so barren afterall...wait where are you going?" Rentaro had suddenly taken off without explanation.

He had heard his brothers voice again, it was louder this time, unfolding his wings he flew deeper into the forbiddon zone following the signal.

Just the hypers were setting fire out the villages one of them had his arms sliced off, he howled in pain and fury glancing about for who done it while a ghostly figure moved in front of him. To the hyper it was sort of blurry and the colour of it's surface changed face like a chamelian then he was sliced in two down the middle of his body.

Some others ran towards it's but they were impaled by long blades that loked like they'd been thrown. The commander in charge shouted ordes for the transport to start being moved out with what was on it so far when more long blades punctured into it's main drive killing it.

The commander pulled one out, the were long knives almost like short swords but no hilt or handle and very roughly shaped, the one he was holding was made of stone, another he pulled out seemed to be a sharpened bone. Stupid things like these could never injure one of his hyper troops.

As the other hypers turned to home on the commotion the closest was pounced upon and at this close felt the more natural size of a body rather than a normal zoaform attack him. It was quite a sstrong though but that didn't matter as he looked intot he eyes then it's mouth opened and bite into his face. The hyper toppled back screaming, as help arrive dit was already dead bloood streaming from it's head.

"What the hells happening here, I demand to be told right now!" the one in charge roared again.

"You bad monkey" said a voice close to him and he turned to the figure, it was still meshing with complex colour control of it's surface to mesh with the back ground but the commanders slightly better training and eyes helped him look closer and he saw the outline. It didn't really look like a hyer or even a zoanoid, it's shape was more like a normal Ape only a stronger even build and unusally taller. The only thing not cloaked was a big rough shaped blade it was holding in one hand like the one helped pulled from the vehicle.

It dove for him and he moved to the side pulling one of his subordinates in the way and the blade cut deep into it's side and blood splashed the attacker. The dieing hyper swung for him bu the ape like zoaform dived to the ground rolling and came back to a stand before bounding forward and stabbing his enemy through the chest, as the hyper went down the figure repeatedly pulled the blade out and stabbed it over and over again until roaring in a scream until it hit the ground and he slashed it's neck open.

The blood and dirt figured was now clearly visible, the mess on it stopped it chamelian ability's from working correctly so it stopped them altogether and the colours stopped changing but stayed where they were last.

The commander started opening fire with his bio-lasers and the zoaform abe started running in a zig zag and by now everything that was left of the troop was converging on him. The ape pulled another long blade free from someone and threw it dropping one of his attackers throught face and dived round the vehicle for cover with acute nimbleniss having dodged all incoming fire.

The person made sniffying noises as he listened for them closing in and looking round for something he could use being down to his last current blade. He kicked up a peice of wood from the ground and caught it in his other hand and slashed it twice with his current weapon narrowing it and forming an edge then jumped.

The hypers ran round the vehicle only to see no-one when they got close to the two splinters of wood they heard a scream of fury "Bad monkeys, Bad monkeys!!" then the attacker was on them dropping from the top of the vehicle and started cutting them to peices with it's weapons the wooden blade actually slicing through them somehow.

Aluca

Mr G pulled up in his custom 1982 GMC van. The window of the little gaurd box next to the gate slid open and the man stuck his head out "Mr G!!!"

"Thats right fool, now open the gates!" The metal bar fence gate slid open and Mr G drove his van up to the front of the building and leaped out running by some people and through the doors.

The gorilla got the front deska nd tried to the get the mans attention but the clerk was talking whimsically on the phone so Mr G grabbed it from him, "Hey sucka, you tell them Mr G's here fool!!!"

The man was taken by surprise and in shcok when he reached for the phone and got it back, "Mr G's here fool!!!"

Mr G heard some voice ont he other end of the line chewing the guy out and caught the word fired and was easily able to make he just got the sack for insulting his superiors. The clerk told mr G to head straight on up as he started cleaning his desk out.

This was bad and Deacon knew it. His guyver unit still refused to activate and the rounds he had fired into this monstrous creature was the most powerful option he had that the moment. Frankly he was dead, it just happened yet. As it seemed like the beast was prepared to lunge forward suddenly it stopped and looked at its companion. Whatever was happening did not concern Deacon. What did concern him was survival.

Turning suddenly he ran and took a slide down a nearby hill that would lead him towards the village. Of course as he neared the village did he finally realize that it was on fire. And Zoaforms where the ones who had started the blaze. Zoaforms much like the pair racing up the hill towards him at that very moment.

Deacon had little time to react as he cocked the hammer on his powerful handgun and fired a round that tore through one Zoaform's head and killed it instantly. The second creature looked like a standard Ramoth just bigger and nastier. The beast stood in his path and Deac knew there was no chance to modify his sliding descent. So instead he simply coiled his legs and with a spring went flying into the air. As he sailed over the Ramoth he fired two rounds into the back of its skull and watched as its brains scattered across dirt and gravel.

As he hit the ground for a second time Deacon no longer had control over his slide and simply began to roll ass over tea kettle down towards the slavering maws of more Zoaforms.

Spore turned his attention tot he oncoming hypers, several went right past Deacon ignoring him completely as they saw Spore and Lalaru. General Krug had made some pretty extravagant promises of rewards to whoever was able to capture Lalaru. The first hyper looked to be a muscle type simialer to Darzerb, brimming with overconfidence it grabbed Spores huge pincer trying to break it off.

"Bad Rhino!" Spores claws crushed its bending them backwards around its body. Weilding it like a club he began to bludgoen the oncoming hypers with the body of their comrade. The first hyper completely fell apart after the first blows. Spore changed shape again as two huge pods simialer to a vamor sprouted out of his shoulders, but inside each was an array of missiles. Hundreds of missiles shot out wards into the sky before exploding over the hordes of hypers. When they exploded hundreds of clusters of vibro knives inside of the missiles began to reain down on the group shredding even the toughest armor.

Deacon slid under one giant crab like zoaform using its body to sheild him as it was ripped apart by the barrage of vibro knives. A speed type hyper who had managed to evade the attack shot around Spores backside kicking up a cloud of dust as he went aiming to grab Lalaru who was standing right behind the huge beast. It wouldn't be able to turn around in time to get him. He'd grab her before it could turn around and once he had her, it wouldn't be able to kill him without hitting Lalaru too.

Lalaru turned in time to see the insect like zoaform coming up on her but before it could touch her Spores body bent back like rubber, his huge fanged mouth coming face to face with the hyper who couldn't stop in time. Multiple blade tipped toungs lashed out of his mouth harpponing it and yanking it off its feet right into his fanged maw biting through its armor like paper. Lalaru winced as it was easily ripped apart, several drops of blood landing on the side of her face. With a single arm sticking out of his mouth Spore turned back to look in the direction Deacon had went before sucking the appendage in and eating it.

The forbiddon zone

"Rentarou dammit!" Ace muttered following Rentaro inside of a cave as he landed. He spotted him further into the cave, as he walked something seemed to scan his body. "Rentaro wait up you idiot!" As soon as Ace entered the area of the cave that had scanned Rentarou a massive burst of energy hit him, even in his battle form he only was barely able to withstand it.

"ARRRGHHH!!" Rentarou didn't even seem to register what had happened as he walked onwards as if in a trance.

Rentaro emerged in a huge cavern, at the center was what was unmistakably a relic ship simialr to the arc. He suddenly snapped out of his trance "What? Where am I?"

"Rentaro! I wasn't expecting you to make it back. This is an unexpected suprise." he heard his brothers voice but he couldn't see him anywhere.

"K-Kintaro? What's going on? Why are you here?"

"I'm not here." a doorway seemed to form on the side of the ship "This ship has had a copy of my memories programmed into it."

"I don't understand, what is all this?"

"Get inside the ship, I'll fill you in on some of what happened while you were away, I also have something to give you." Rentaro walked inside the ship following the corridor, this ship was much more advanced then the prototype he had taken tot he farthest reaches of space. Eventually he came to room that had several pods in it, most of them were empty.

"Kintaro, what happened?"

"As you may have guessed, the world has changed quite a bit since you left. Even I don't know how much time has passed, I only woke up recently when some of those Apes were digging around here several years ago."

"What are those things? Why do apes talk?"

"That's a long story. First I think I'll axplain what happened after you left. I'll be honest, Kamen X, that mystery zoaform that was rebelling against Cronos was me. That's why you have that form, that medicine I gave you was actually laced with the prototype processing nanites that I had used to evolve myself into ever more powerful battleforms. The one you posess now is identicle to the one I was using at the time even though it's alot less advanced then my final form."

"Why? Why did you reball against Cronos...how could you..."

"Cronos isn't everything they said they were. On the surface they were a miracle organization that cured the worlds problems, but the truth of the true nature of the zoanoid was kept hidden from the public. Do you know why you and the other scientists were enfused with a virus to keep you from rebelling while cronos didn't seem to care what their zoanoid soldiers did? The reason why is that most zoanoids were incapable of rebelling, its genetically programmed intot hem that they must follow the orders of those that rule over them, the zoalords. But that's not the reason why I rebelled, the reason why is that the true purpose behind the mass processing of the human population was to use them as soldiers that would fight a personal war of vengeance for Cronos's leader which was betrayed eons ago by an alien intelligance which had come to earth."

"Aliens...wow...cronos came from aliens..."

"Rentaro? Are you taking this in?"

"Yeah! Yeah....so what happened after I left?"

"After you left I attempted to take over cronos using much the same tactic they used on X-day when they infiltrated the worlds governments with zoanoids. After the bio warriors were mass produced they were stationed in all of cronos's bases around the world, howvere I had implanted a hidden command in them to rebell. At first everything went as planned, but the AI controlling the bio warriors went out of control going a killing spree. It wanted to eradicate all other intelligent life forms on the planet. Around the same time a powerful entity known as Lillith came to earth attacking it with a special army of zoalords loyal to her as well as the siblings of the rogue zoalord Diablos. This was the begining of an all out war that nearly destroyed the world, maybe later I'll fully explain the fine details of what happened, but I don't have time now. My memories were uploaded onto this ship before the war ended. I don't know what happened to myself or the rest of the world after that. But I can tell you where those apes came from, remember my Lab gorilla Bobo? Bobo had been engineered in a way simialer to myself, not only was he a zoaform ape, but he was intelligant as a human as well. When I? last saw him, human society had collpsed, so he took it upon himself to infect the surviving apes of the world with the same processing nanites in his body making them into creatures simialer to himself. It appears that over the years the gene pool has deluded, Bobo was much stronger then the apes I've observed, but these are unmistakably the descendents of Bobo and the other apes he infected. To be honest I'm suprised they made it, before I loaded my memories onto this ship I was certain that the world was about to be destroyed. That's the reason why I stole the planets water, so that terraforming a new world would be easier. But it looks like that wasn't nessecery...yeah, someone sure made a monkey out of me huh?"

"W-wait? You stole the planets water? Well where the hell is it? I gotta bring it back! Mean this place is a desert! Who do you think you are taking everyones water?!?"

"Jeez, you've always been kind of slow Rentaro, I thought the world was going to be destroyed. Yes it's partially my fault things turned out this way, but I can't undo what happened! The water was hidden in another dimension using technology I stole from the arc. Since the planets still missing its water, it looks like Lalaru is probably still alive."

"Lalaru?"

"She's the gate keeper of the dimension the water is stored in. Anyway, there's not alot of time, I have one thing to give you before this ship shuts down. Your going to need it. Usagi, the AI unit for the Kamen X Space Ganger #6"

"Space Ganger? Isn't that from that dorky 70's anime you always watched?"

"Gekiganger is not dorky! You and your younger generation just can't appreciate the true quality of classic old school anime. Going around acting like Naruto and Inuyasha are the only decent anime."

"And also Bleach and One piece!" Rentaro shouted

"Well never mind that, this ship doesn't have alot of energy left, so I'll give you Usagi now, your using one of my outdated forms, so she probably won't be able to completely syncronise with you. It would have been better if I had one of the earlier models of the space ganger, but I only know where Usagi is, the others might not even exist anymore."

The single pod that seemed to have something inside it glowed as it melted, inside it was a white haired girl with pointy ears.

"This is Usagi, she'll be waking up shortly, wish I could talk some more, but it's time for me to sleep now. If I'm still alive out there, maybe we can finish this conversation someday." The lights inside the ship were begining to dim.

"Wait Kintaro...I..." There was so much more Rentaro wanted to say, but it was too late the ship was shutting down.
