{The SD Boy returns.}

Boy: Welcome. And now with your healthy dosage of Teknoman. 

{The SD Man comes out and sighs, brings out a steel hyperspace hammer 
from nowhere. With a tiny tap, stars and little birdies fly around the 
boy's head.}

Boy: Ohhh, mommy, can we go on the roller coaster again? {He faints with 
a KO *Dong*}

{The SD man smiles a bit and carries him out. But he stops and looks to 
you.}

Man: Oh, before I forget. Standard disclaimer applies here. Another 
thing, look for the outakes later. 
{The SD boy wakes up and pulls out a rocket launcher.}

Boy: (In a bad japanese accent) YOU DIE BAZOOKA JOE!!!

{BOOM!}

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 those 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 angered 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. To his 
surprise, Slade 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. The teknoman turned to see that the 
source of the blast was a single teknosuit. Shara began to stir and saw 
the third shadow's source.

        "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 lets 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 shield. 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!!!!"
