  As Kyo races off, he witnesses more chaos ensuing in the core of Tojisa City. Kyo’s eyes look focused, and he twists the handles of his bike, charging off faster into the danger, rather than heading home to safety…

  Your Life

  [Tojisa City]

  Harumi teleports on top of a building, to a more torn down part of Tojisa City, where the Dynasty Soldiers are currently battling the Solar bots. People are evacuating from anywhere they can, just trying not to be killed in the crossfire. Harumi moves her eyes around slowly, watching what’s going on around her as the wind blows through her hair. She watches the soldiers get slaughtered before her eyes. The Dynasty soldiers were having a tough time against their enemy, and it was not looking good, however, Harumi looked on watching all this as if she was not impressed. She suddenly closes her eyes and lets out a sigh.

  “…You soldiers…you’re pathetic sometimes,” mutters Harumi, “…Aqua…Enforce…!”

  Suddenly, Harumi’s wrist device’s eyes begin to glow bright, and Harumi’s body is covered in an aqua blue light. A few solar bots stop their onslaught to watch her transform, but quickly go after her moments later.

  Before one of them could strike by simply throwing a kick her way, Harumi blocks it with her forearm, and while she does, the light covering her body shatters into light particles, revealing Harumi’s light blue battle armor in the process. Harumi watches the solar bots with a focused look in her eyes before grabbing that solar bot’s foot and tossing it, as it crashes into a building. Harumi quickly pulls out two beam swords from off her back and charges after the solar bots.

  Harumi glides through the solar bots, easily slicing the solar bots apart with her beam swords. The Dynasty Soldiers stopped and observed at how well Harumi was doing against the enemies.

  “…Man, that girl is amazing…!” says a female soldier.

  Harumi suddenly flies up into the air and faces the Dynasty Soldiers.

  “Listen up. I need you all to evacuate the people. Don’t bother to fight the solar bots unless you are in a position to do so,” orders Harumi.

  “We’re always in a position to do so! We have our lives to protect as well!” replies an angry male soldier.

  “Not when Arata and I are here. Now please, help the people, and I’ll handle the rest,” says Harumi before turning her back and flying off, leaving the soldiers looking on at her with anger in their eyes.

  Kyo meanwhile is dashing through the destroyed city, watching all the chaos go down. As he continues, his eyes widen, and he hits the breaks on his bike, witnessing a mother and her daughter running towards him from a solar bot that’s quickly coming their way. Kyo revs up his bike and blasts past the mother and daughter, charging towards the solar bot.

  Why the fuck am I doing this…?! thought Kyo, seconds before suddenly hopping off his bike and rolling hard to the ground, as the bike rams into the solar bot.

  As Kyo stops rolling, he witnesses the Solar bot laid out on the ground badly damaged and unresponsive, with his bike destroyed in the process.

  …Fuck…! thought Kyo, …I destroyed one…! But my bike…

  “Thank you so very much!”

  Kyo looks up and finds the mother smiling at him, helping him get back to his feet.

  “Thank you so much for saving me and my daughter!” says the mother.

  “Yeah, yeah, it’s no problem, please get to safety!” says Kyo.

  “But you should as well! My home isn’t too far from here, we can go together!” says the mother, attempting to grab on to Kyo’s hand, but Kyo takes a few steps back, which surprises her.

  “Please…I have something to do, run to safety please…!” replies Kyo with a serious look on his face.

  “…OK…please be safe…!” says the concerned mother. “Come sweetie!”

  The mother holds on to her baby daughter and turns to run off, but seconds later, Kyo witnesses two Dynasty soldiers land right in front of her. The woman looks on shocked, as one of the soldiers quickly holds on to the woman and flies off just like that, and Kyo looks on at the last soldier with an angered look on his face. The soldier then sees Kyo and quickly walks towards him.

  …So now they appear… thought Kyo.

  “Hey, kid! You got to get out of her! It’s way too dangerous for you!” shouts a male dynasty soldier.

  “Well….! I’m fine! I knocked down one solar bot, with the cost of my bike! And it’s all you guys fault for not being around here fast enough!” shouts Kyo.

  “Yeah, cool, whatever, but you have to leave. Come with me,” says the soldier.

  “I’m fine, I don’t need you guys to help me!” shouts Kyo.

  “How’re you going to get home?! Your wrecked your bike trying to save the day! You have no transportation now!” shouts the soldier, now up in Kyo’s face.

  Kyo looks back and finds again, that his bike is torn apart. Kyo looks at the bike in disgust before looking back at the soldier, who suddenly grabs on to Kyo’s arm tight.

  “Don’t try to be some superhero ok? It’s a good thing you saved that woman and her child, but your life is in danger as well. Leave it to us and the Assassin Enforcers to handle things now,” says the soldier.

  “C’mon, let go of me man!” shouts Kyo, attempting to break free of the soldier’s grasp.

  “Why are you doing this?! It’s too dangerous here, are you blind”-

  A crushing sound is heard, and Kyo looks on with a frightened look, as a few blood spots splatter on his face. A bloodied robot hand pierces through the soldier’s chest right in front of him. Kyo is frozen in fear, feeling the soldier’s tight grip be quickly released. The bloodied hand pulls out of the soldier’s chest as the soldier falls to the ground, revealing a red solar bot before Kyo. Kyo quickly gasps and starts walking backward fast.

  Fuck…fuck…fuck…fuck…! thought a frightened Kyo. The faster he continued walking back, the faster the red solar bot approached him, with the blood of the soldier dripping off its left hand.

  Before Kyo could even continue, the solar bot quickly charges fast towards Kyo and ends up having its bloodied hand around Kyo’s throat. Kyo is in shock at how fast the solar bot came towards him. The robot wastes no time gripping Kyo’s throat tighter, and even lifting his body off the ground. Kyo holds on to the solar bot’s arm that’s choking him and looks on at the bright red eye of the solar bot that’s going to choke him to death.

  …Fuck…! What’s wrong with me…! I could’ve just raced home to mom…and all of this would be over…! I had to act like some superhero and head here to try and save people…! Now look at me…! With no strength left…I’m going to die…! By a mere fucking contraption…! Where the…hell are they…! thought Kyo. His eyes began to get blurry and began gasping for air. His reckless actions have caused him to near death…

  However, Kyo’s eyes widen, as the solar bot’s hand was released from Kyo’s throat suddenly. Kyo could see clear again, and he was shocked to find Harumi behead the solar bot with her beam sword. Kyo falls to the ground looking up at the headless solar bot stand there with sparks flying out of its neck. Harumi quickly pushes the solar bot to the ground and darts her eyes at Kyo. They both began to stare at each other for a moment…

  “…You…! Harumi Watanabe…!” whispers a shocked Kyo.

  “…You…! Get out of here, now!” shouts Harumi, pulling on Kyo’s jacket and quickly pulling him up to his feet.

  Kyo looks at Harumi with sudden anger, which confuses Harumi. Kyo pushes Harumi’s hand off his jacket and suddenly runs past her, heading towards the deceased soldier. Harumi turns with a curious look as to what Kyo was doing.

  What…the hell are you doing…? thought Harumi. Harumi’s curious look quickly turned to a more surprised look, witnessing Kyo pull the soldier’s Dynasty Morpher off his wrist, de-morphing the soldier in the process. Kyo then quickly puts the Dynasty Morpher on his wrist and glares at Harumi.

  �
�…I’m joining the fight,” says Kyo with a serious look on his face. Harumi looks back at him with an irate look on her face now.

  …Is this guy nuts? thought Harumi, squinting her eyes in confusion…

  “I’m ordering you to put that device right now!” shouts Harumi, “You are in no way capable of fighting!”

  “…Try and stop me,” replies Kyo, slapping the dynasty morpher onto his wrist. “Transform!”

  Kyo’s body from the neck down glows white, and Harumi looks on in shock, as she watches the white energy dragon from behind Kyo form, and quickly swallow him, transforming him into the Dynasty soldier battle armor. Kyo is amazed at what has happened to his appearance, opening and closing his hands, as well as feeling the smooth, yet metallic armor on his arms and chest.

  “…I feel…invincible in this…!” says Kyo, rubbing his chest.

  “How’d he know the voice command to transform…?” says a shocked Harumi.

  Suddenly, 6 solar bots crash land to the ground behind Kyo. Kyo quickly turns and is confronted by them.

  “Dammit…! Listen, you’re going to regret this, and end up dying! You were lucky I saved you the first time!” shouts Harumi.

  “Please! Many people and your own soldiers have already died thanks to you!” replies Kyo, which shocks Harumi. “I’ll do a better job than you and Arata could ever do!”

  “What did you just say?!” says an irate Harumi.

  Kyo abruptly flies to the sky, leaving Harumi with the solar bots that already come running her way quick. Harumi appears to be focused at Kyo flying off but is irritated that she has to fight more of the solar bots.

  Harumi quickly charges forward and quickly pulls out her beam swords, slashing each and every one of the solar bots with swift action. After they go down, Harumi presses a small button on her collar, which then forms a specialized full helmet on her, having bright green eyes.

  “All Dynasty Soldiers listen up. Dynasty Soldier #2441 was killed. A civilian has taken his wrist device and is trying to be a hero. Please try and stop him at all costs, and if he refuses to comply, shoot him down,” reports Harumi, walking towards a larger batch of solar bots that have just arrived before her, “…Pieces of shit…!”

  Harumi charges after the army of solar bots with both beam swords in hand, ready to annihilate them all…

  Kyo meanwhile lands to another section of Tojisa City and finds many people in danger, running from the solar bots.

  …Of course, no soldiers in sight as usual, thought Kyo.

  Kyo quickly flies down to the ground and stops the large mass of solar bots from getting to the crowd. Kyo yells in anger as he charges and pulls out his beam sword, engaging into combat.

  Kyo charges towards the enemies and begins swinging his beam sword at the solar bots, successfully chopping them down one by one. It wasn’t long before Kyo successfully destroys about 10 solar bots, all by himself. As soon as Kyo has slain the last solar bot, Kyo turns around and finds many Dynasty soldiers assisting the people to safety. Kyo looks at the sight in disgust before flying off elsewhere once more…

  Elsewhere, in a safer part of Tojisa City, Shina has just parked her pink SUV by the side of the busy road. Shina gets out of the car and slams it, pulling out her phone and inputting the dials to call someone. She puts the phone to her ear and patiently waits for someone to pick up…but it ends up going to voicemail. Shina shakes her head and hangs up before Zack and Zeke get out of the car as well.

  “Any luck?” asks Zack.

  “I called the guy 3 times, and he’s not picking up,” replies a distressed Shina, putting her hand over her head while leaning against her car.

  “I tried texting him, but no luck as well,” says Zeke.

  “Man…I hope he’s ok…I’m quite worried about him,” says Zack.

  “His house isn’t too far from the school. He can make it back in 10 minutes flat. It’s been almost an hour since the attack and the boy hasn’t called back,” says Shina.

  “Don’t think too much about Shina. Let’s keep calling and head home,” says Zack, getting back into the car.

  Shina sighs and looks out into the distance where the city from afar looks to be in a terrible and frightening state. Shina shakes her head and opens the door, getting back into the car.

  Kyo meanwhile is doing an impressive job, slashing down solar bots left and right, saving many people in the process. A few Dynasty soldiers notice Kyo doing quite a good job against the solar bots, but they have their sights on him pretty deep.

  “…Harumi says one of the civilians has a Dynasty morpher and is trying to be Mr. Hero. Think it’s him?” says a female soldier.

  “I’ve never seen a guy with red hair in the army…! It has to be him,” replies a male soldier.

  Before Kyo can slash down yet another solar bot before him, that solar bot gets blasted out of the sky by an energy shot. Kyo is shocked as he quickly flies back and turns to his left, even more, surprised to find a group of angry dynasty soldiers flying towards him.

  “You! Stand down now and hand over the Dynasty Morpher or else!” shouts a female soldier pointing at Kyo.

  “Damn…! They caught me,” Thought Kyo, looking irate.

  Kyo tries to fly to the right, but he is stopped by another group of soldiers. Kyo is now quickly surrounded by the Dynasty soldiers, with nowhere to go.

  “We’re warning you to stop what you’re doing. If you refuse to comply with us, we’ll have to take you down by force,” Ordered a male soldier.

  “…Why are you all doing this? I’m helping YOU guys out! You all going to kill me for simply saving others?!” shouts an angry Kyo.

  “We’re not here to kill you. You are not registered as a member of the Dynasty of Spheres Army. We ask to please de-morph and hand over the device, so you can head home to your family and friends. We’ll handle everything. That’s all we ask,” says another male soldier.

  “But I’m just picking up where the dead soldier picked off from! I’m sorry…but I’m not doing anything wrong. If you’re going to have to take me down by force, so be it!”-

  Suddenly, someone’s hand chops the back of Kyo’s neck, instantly knocking Kyo unconscious. It was a specialized blue and white armored soldier, wielding a yellow rhombus-shaped energy shield on its left arm. Before Kyo could fall, the blue and white soldier quickly grabs Kyo’ body by the waist and snatches the Dynasty Morpher off of Kyo’s wrist. Kyo de-morphs as the blue and white armored soldier tosses Kyo body to one of the soldiers. One of the soldiers catches Kyo and puts him over their shoulder.

  “Arata Noshino! Have you finished the job already over at Kamati?” asks one of the soldiers to the blue and white armored soldier, which was indeed Arata Noshino.

  “Mission accomplished. We have our soldiers assisting the people to get to safety. No threat is sighted now, but this area is still under heavy fire right now,” says Arata, “Listen, take that kid back to where he came from,”

  “Yes sir!” shouts the soldier carrying Kyo. The soldier flies off with Kyo, leaving the rest of the soldiers and Arata together. Before everyone could even move or blink an eye, however, they all hear a loud crash. They all look down to find something out of this world, all looking on in shock.

  “…What the hell….?” says Arata with a curious look on his face.

  They all witness a tall, muscular mechanical monster. Its body was colored green and black, having only one bright red eye, with huge arms and hands, clearly made for destruction, as well as a glowing red sphere placed on its chest. Before the tall mechanical beast could do anything, all of the soldiers, including Arata, swoop down to the ground to confront their target quickly.

  “…Attack,” orders Arata, pointing at the mechanical monster. All of the soldiers swiftly pull out their rifles and begin firing energy shots at the mechanical monster as ordered.

  The mechanical monster stands there,
as the flurry of energy shots only bounce off of its body. Arata is surprised at what he’s seen, as the energy shots have no effect.

  “…Cease fire! I need 5 soldiers to switch to close combat, immediately!” shouts Arata.

  All of the soldiers abruptly stopped firing, and as ordered, 5 soldiers charged towards the mechanical monster fast, whipping out their beam swords from their backs.

  One soldier leaps and goes to swing at the beast, but the beast sways its left arm at the soldier, shooting him crashing into a building like a fly. The rest of the soldiers are already seconds away from attacking, but it was too late…

  The mechanical beast swings its huge arms rapidly, sending many of the soldiers flying all over the place, and crashing elsewhere, causing, even more, destruction of the city. Arata, however, looked un-amused at what he was seeing. A few of the soldiers were lucky enough to glide back to get away from the mechanical beast’s arms before they were next to be heavily swatted. Arata presses a small button on his collar, as his armor helmet forms around his head in the process, revealing bright green eyes. A bunch of information begins forming before Arata’s eyes inside his helmet.

  “…Kimiko, I’m sending this information to H.Q. I’m going to fuck this contraption up,” says Arata, pulling out a beam sword handle from his back, soon erecting a long blue beam sword as soon as he positioned himself to battle against his target. Arata then begins slowly walking past the soldiers, and towards the tall mechanical beast.

  Elsewhere, the soldier carrying Kyo ends up lying him on top of a high building.

  “There…now you’re safe…I guess,” says the male soldier. The soldier looks around the fiery city for a moment before looking back down at the unconscious Kyo.

  “…Hmm…there’s no enemies around…” says the soldier.

  “We need assistance quick! Some robot monster has appeared and is taking us out easily! All soldiers, please assist in the West Zone of Tojisa City!” shouts a distressed soldier through the male soldier’s speaker.
