Shiroi-Kuma Sama Presents
Teknoman:
Shara�s Last Gift
Chapter 3
Based on the Manga
Space Knight Tekkaman Blade
From their place in the air, Axe, Lance, and Rapier saw what appeared to
be their new opponent. The only thing they could do was gawk as Scythe came at
them at a speed that none of them could match. They all scattered as she swung
her weapon at an arc that would have hit them all had they not moved.
"Impossible. How can you become a Teknoman? Only Master Darkon could do
that!" cried Rapier as he brought out his name sake weapon.
Smiling, she swung it into a defensive pose. "You wouldn�t beleive what
they�re doing with junk nowadays. Now, are gonna get into this or what?" She
never gave them a chance to reply as she swung her left leg forward and into the
side of Axe�s helmet, sending him reeling into the ground. With Axe out of the
way, she attacked Rapier viciously like a wolf for it�s prey.
*************************************************
Lance had floated away to a distance where he could see everything.
<So, the humans have found a way to make their own Teknomen. Well, let�s see if
they can do anything about it if they have no base left?"> he thought and flew
in the direction of the unprotected base. Unprotected of the fact that no one
Teknosuit pilot would be able to stop him. Regardless of the danger or Jamison�s
orders, Ringo led the charge against him.
"Hold it right there pal! When the sign says no Darkon Teknomen, it
means just that! No exceptions!" Ringo sarcastically told Lance as the other
Teknosuits got into position.
"Out of my way insect! I have a traitor to destroy and if you want to
be among thouse who will suffer, "he paused to pull out his lance "then be my
guest!" and charged the better, battle hardened Teknosuit pilot. Only to run
into several Z-Tron spheres before getting pelted by Ringo himself. A 30 meter
in diamter sphere of green Z-Tron energy pulsated like a small sun. Until Lance
flew out of the shrining sphere and right at Ringo, the lance pointed straight
at his heart.
Until a ruby colord stream of energy came from below and grasped the
point to pull it downward and out of Ringo�s way. He looked down to see the
object of his mission. There was Shara, in her Teknoman form, her blade pulled
out and laser whip around Lance�s weapon. "Oh no you don�t!" Shara cried to him,
and yanked on the cord. Considering her weakened condition, catching Lance off
guard and saving Ringo was a stroke of pure luck. So, she decided to take
advantage of the situation. Lance�s thrusters wavered under the little amount of
control over himself as his opponent flew up and connected a metal clad fist
into his jaw.
Knowing that she would have any more such luck, she converted to the
Crystal Hawk/Tekno Battle Mode and flew off, with Lance giving chase. Seeing
this, and with no more spidercrabs to blow up, he ordered to his men over the
radio "Ok boys, time for us to hit the showers. By the looks of things, our
friends can take care of themselves." The rest of them replied the affirmative
and headed back. Until he stopped one soilder and asked"How full is your energy
pack?" The soldier blinked and looked at his guages and said that his was almost
full. "Ok, give me yours and head back to base." the soldier was about to ask
why when Ringo growled "NOW!" the soldier nodded and took out his weapon�s
energy pack and handed it to Ringo. Taking it, he hit his afterburners and
headed off in the direction after Lance and Shara after the last soldier
returned to the Command Center.
*************************************************
The two brothers fought with the furies of gods as their blades sung
through the wind and rang like bells on a catheadral, sparks of light jumping
from the contact point. The battle had lasted far beyond 30 minutes and it took
Saber another 30 to realize thst Slade�s limit had either been extended or had
just diappeared. He then found that his advanteage over Slade had been lost,
this sngered him greatly. Having no real advantage over his former brother, he
was forced to fight on terms where he could either win or lose, and considering
Slade�s new power, weapons, and armor, he was going to lose.
"What�s wrong Saber? You seem to be a bit off your game today?" Slade
said as he swung his imporved lance again at Saber, missing, the weaker of the
two teknomen, charged again, growling in fraustration at his appearant
disadavantage. Their weapons clanged once more and continued to do so, but as
time lingered on, Saber found his strength going down.
Realizing that if this continued, he would lose, he pulled back and
growled. "It appears that I underestimated you. With this new power of yours and
all. If you have any honor brother, you�ll let me and men go," he looked to Axe
and Rapier fending themselves barely against the new teknoman, Scythe and then
to Slade, who just floated there, then flew back a bit and with a simple hand
gesture allowed him to leave. Both Saber and Slade ordered their allies to stop
the fighting and the other three did so with great confusion. Saber growled to
the enemy teknomen to retreat and did so with no hesitation, even though they
still had the numerical advantage by one. As Axe and Rapier flew by, Saber
turned to his foe, "You�ve won this time Slade, but bear in mind that the war is
far from over."
To the surprise of everyone watching inside the remaining parts of the
command center, they saw the enemy retreat. The battle was won, until someone
noticed that neither Shara or Ringo had returned.
*************************************************
"Face it traitor. You�ve brought yourself to your own death!" Lance growled as
he swung his weapon at Shara, who was barely able to block the attack in time.
She buckled not only under the intense pressure Lance was putting on her, but
her condition had something to do with it as well.
"No, I�m not going to give up. Not to you," then she began to glow as her
volume incresed "Saber or Darkon!" and attacked the former human with renewed
strength. Neither warrior let up as their battle seemed to take an eternity,
which was only 20 minutes. Then intensity of the fight increased with every
second, one determined to utterly destroy the other, in either defense or orders
from his master.
Getting a kick in at his gut, she was able to propel herself far enough away to
try her next attack. Three glass-like spheres appeared from beneath her helmet
and within seconds, power flowed all over them and never gave Lance a warning as
she screamed "TEKNO BOLT!" and a ruby colored energy flew at her opponent like a
small tidal wave of pure energy, well, that was it was actually.
The blast flew by him as he dodged, but saw that the whole attack was merely a
diversion. Shara came flying right to him, blade at the ready. The only thing
Shara didn�t expect was that he caught her wrist and yanked her mid-section into
his knee. She found her breath suddnely gone and began to plummet to the ground.
Before so, Lance took advantage by elbowing the back of her head, therefore
increasing the velocity of her decent and created a small crator in the process
of her fall.
Lance saw this sight and laughed as hard as his now inhuman lungs could.
"Pitiful, you still fight even though you have no chance against beating me. And
now, you will pay for your treachery! DIE!!" he screamed as he threw his lance
toward the almost motionless Shara. Fate seemed to be on her side that day, for
as the lance nearly skewered her, a green sphere of energy knocked it away. Both
teknomen turned to see that the source of the blast was a single teknosuit.
"Hey Shara! What�s a nice girl like yourself doing with a jerk like this?"
Ringo snidely remarked over his radio at both teknomen. Not having the same
sense of humor as Ringo, Lance replied simply.
"Taking care of buisness. Now begone insect, or else you�ll share the same fate
as her."
"Ohh, I�m shaking. Why don�t you stop bullying the kid and fight me, show how
much of a man you are, which I doubt."
"Your confidence will be your death human!" and with that, Lance flew at Ringo,
who was now more prepared this time, unlike the time before. Lance missed and
Ringo hovered near Shara and asked as he fired another Z-Tron sphere at Lance,
hitting him square in the back.
"Hey, you ok?" he asked keeping his eyes on Lance�s position.
"Kinda, I�ve been better. Thanks."
"Don�t mention it, now get back to the Command Center. Ness�d probably go nuts
if he didn�t find you there." he ended with a smile through the face sheild. She
nodded and just before she was about to fly, he said "Wait, I�ll give us some
cover." With that, several other servos whirred and a wire-like frame in a
3-dimensional cube moved in front of the blaster�s barrel. "When I give you the
signal, stay close to me. We don�t know if Saber and his buddies are still
around." She nodded and waited for her savior�s signal.
Ringo pulled on the trigger and kept it there. Soon, a small field of green
energy began to grow and pulsate, until it changed color again. This time to
blue, and then to a deep red. The blaster began to rumble, almost like it was
going to expode. The energy built up needed to be released, or else another
version of ground zero in a can. Which was fortunate, because Lance had spewed
himself out of the Z-Tron sphere and came flying at Ringo like a man possessed.
"Ready........................Steady.......................
NOW!!!!"
He released the trigger and a sphere of red energy flew out of the cube and
toward Lance. "GET BACK!" he yelled to Shara, they both took shelter behind a
boulder as Lance in his blind rage, collided with the slow moving star of pure
uncontrollable energy. Then, it seemed like hell spewed forth as it blew,
shockwaves then rocked the area for about a mile and the whole sky seemed to
turn red. Then they saw the resulting waves from it and soon the small
earthquake was over with.
They both peeked over the rock to see the retreating and faltering form of
Lance. He survived the attack, but he didn�t leave the battle unscathed, that
was for sure. From the looks of it, even Shara in her weakened condition could
take him out, but decided not to press their luck. They had already stretched
theirs far beyond the limit.
"Ringo. What was that?" Shara asked as they began their trek from behind the
rock.
"It�s a little something that the boys in the lab made for me. It�s called the
Fusion Bomb, next to Slade�s Anti-Matter Warheads, it�s the most powerful weapon
we got. Only problem is: it takes up quite a bit of Z-Tron from the powercells.
That�s why I brought this with me," he said, gesturing to the spare energy pack
that he took from the soldier and began to install it. Once the installation was
complete, he held out his armored arm and said in a suave voice, "Well, shall we
go?" she laughed a bit and took his invite. They both flew back to the Command
Center, a bit more relaxed than before.
