        "You think someone down here may be working for him?" Ringo
offered. If it were true, then Earth's chances for survival could be
even worse.

        In response, Shara shook her head despite the pain she was
feeling from her wound at the moment, "No. It doesn't seem like him
to
have spies among his foes.  He enjoys making his foes suffer with his
superior power and numbers. On top of that, I wouldn't be surprised
if
he was able to hear it over the radio."

        Star turned to Slade's sister, "He's that powerful?" the
latter nodded. "Then I figure we'd better start using more heavily
coded frequencies in our transmissions to be safe."

Nicole: That almost never helps.

        "I am not sure if that would really help or not, but better
that than..." Shara said before hearing what sounded like a scream of
anguish from the loading bay, a scream that only she and Slade could
hear.

        "What's wrong?" Star inquired.

        "Tina's beginning to go through one of the more difficult
parts of her trial. All we can do is wait." Taking an extra second to
linger on Tina, she though, "Please Tina. I know you can do it, don't
give up."

*****

Brian: Annnddddd....back to Tina!

Back in the black void where Tina was being tested. Once more, the
pain left. Unlike the first two trials, this one overloaded her
senses
with emotions, each one taking a long and indefinite period of time.

Happiness seemed abundant, endless joy made her seemed like flying to
heaven leaving only misery and despair, all darkness seemed non
existent. She wanted to touch everyone with the light that seemed to
fill her entire being.

Brian: In other words...a dead ringer for Usagi Tuskino.

        Then, despair set in. She felt so alone. Being alone in a
world driven mad by war, power, lust, and corruption. Being small,
feeling like a bug when compared to everyone else. Her youth and
small
stature was making her feel like a child in a world filled with giant
adults.

Nicole: Woah....how old is she again?

Several more feelings were intensified and were felt; contentment,
pleasure, confidence, hopelessness, helplessness, aggressive,

<Nicole, Yui, and Natsumi Fireball Brian before he can open his mouth>

Nicole: Not one word from you!

recessive, and many more were intensified to the point where it was
unbearable.

        Then rage set in. Her hate seemed burn her into a rage of
unquenchable fire. She hated Darkon for ruining the lives of the
human
race. She hated General Xerxes Galt for his power hungry attitude.
She
hated Balzac for his arrogant demeanor and prejudice towards Slade.
On
top of that, she hated every one of the spidercrabs for laying waste
to Earth.

Even her friends weren't protected from the all-consuming fire.

She hated Slade for his stubbornness at being introverted, for almost
killing her, and for bringing Darkon to Earth in the first place. She
hated Jamison for placing her in a position where she could do
nothing. She hated everyone, and wanted all of them dead. The fire
threatened her to almost break from the chamber and try to kill them
all, but something held her back.

        She didn't have the time to think, as she felt her body being
stretched to positions she never though possible. She felt her limbs
almost break from the strain being put on her muscles and bones, yet
her body was still curled up. The same way it was for the past
several
days.

Nicole: Ouch...she's gonna feel it when she gets out of there.

        Finally, agony came. Lightning streaked over her body, sending
uncountable jolts of pain throughout every cell. She screamed, with
an
intensity that would have made several rock singers jealous.

Natsumi: Heh...

Amid all this, she was able to hear what Shara had said, she gritted
her teeth and did everything she could to prevent, or at least slow
down the body wide shut down that her body was going through.

Despite her effort, it led to no avail. She lost control of her arms,
her legs, hands, and feet progressively. The end seemed near, and she
couldn't stop it. She was going to die. What was worse, she was
getting so close to succeeding.

        No. She thought, she wouldn't let Darkon win. She wouldn't let
doubt stop her. She would win, she would overcome the pain. She
forced
her body to start up again, not allowing it to shut down, despite the
agonizing pain that she was experiencing.

With her effort, the force that attempted to stop her discovered her
effort and redoubled its effort to stop her. It wouldn't be defeated
so easily. It forced more of its will-draining power into its assault
and more of Tina's body began to shut down.

Nicole: so...you could say it was effort against effort against effort?

Brian: Errr...you might want to check that, WH.

        The battle of wills continued for who knew how long. No
quarter was given, nor was any received. Then, the opposing force
decided to pull out all the stops. The one thing that could
definitely
stop Tina.

        The past.

<Bells of Doom>

        "Hey Dad. Where ya going?" A ten-year-old Tina asked her
father, as he was about to walk out the door. He turned, smiled, and
patted his daughter's head.

        "Dad has some grumpy old men he's got to visit and close a
deal with."

        A young Tina frowned, "Buncha dorks. Gotta take you like this
from mom, Ryan, and me."

Yui: <blink> For some odd reason, that sentence sounded strange.

        Evan Corman smiled and hugged his daughter, "Don't you worry
any Tina. Dad's going to be back soon."

Natsumi: Missing a comma there.

        She smiled, "Good. Make sure and make it quick."

Nicole: Huh!?!

        In mock fear, he said, "Whoa. The last thing I'd want to do is
make you mad, so I'll make it extra quick."

        As he went out the door, Tina had no idea that this would be
the last time she ever saw her father.

        "Say mom. You heard from dad lately?" She would ask.

        "Hey Ryan... you know when dad's coming back?"

        "Is he coming back tomorrow? The day after tomorrow? Next
week?"

        Many days after school was spent waiting outside her house,
waiting for the car that her dad would come back in. Days turned to
weeks and weeks turned to months and months turned to years of
waiting. It wasn't until five years to that day he had left did she
finally give up on waiting for him.

Nicole: <steaming> Didn't her family at the very least know where he was?!

Yui: And couldn't they at least have told her???

        For a while, she had thought that she had recovered from
losing her father, but another memory was added to the pile of pain
that made Tina's trial even harder.

        "A bet?!" She screamed in disbelief.

        "Yeah... Tina, listen. I'm really sorry, but..."

        *SMACK* "You JERK!" Tina yelled and ran crying out of the
classroom where she and her 'boyfriend' had talked about the real
reason why Nate Taylor had shown some kind of interest in her. It was
because of a lost bet and nothing more.

Nicole: <glower> I would have decked him

Yui: I think she was tempted.

        To say that Tina was hurt beyond words was an understatement.

Natsumi: Understatement of the century, you mean.

Not caring that the rain was pouring down and soaking her to the
bone,
Tina ran home. Rain masked her tears as she tripped, fell, and simply
lay in the cool spring rain. Laying in a puddle, she couldn't stop
her
crying and the pain from falling didn't help at all.

Now she knew why the others were whispering about her. They knew it
was all a lie, everyone except she knew it. She could almost hear
them
laughing at her the next day about it all. About how poor little
Tina's was being played around like a doll.

She caught ammonia that day and had to miss facing the truth for a
while. Even after she had recovered, she didn't want to face the
others. Nor would she. The reason why was the fact that the Corman
family had to move out of state and to another place.

Brian: I think it's "pneumonia"

The only consolation she had was that she could start over... but
without her dad and with some hideous emotional scars, that made
adjustment difficult.

When it seemed like the worst was over, her mother had vanished on
the
night of her high school graduation. No matter what she did, Tina
could not find any trace of her mother. In addition, her older
brother, Ryan, had been transferred to the Space Ring, leaving her
completely alone.

All: <wincing at what is to come...>

Had it not been through constant communication from her brother, she
had no idea what she would have done. Also, being in the armed
services had somewhat inspired Tina to join the Space Knight Research
and Development Group, owned by a large medical company by the name
of
the Solar Moon.

Brian: Gee...wonder who's running that?

        Another chance to start over. That was something the opposing
force failed to take into consideration. On top of that, the chance
she had taken this time was better than last time and fulfilling her
duties as a member of the Space Knights had not only healed some of
the scars of the past, but she had been able to rediscover the joy of
being herself. That was the winning blow for her.

        The opposing force had slowly become nothing from Tina's
determination to continue. Within seconds, Tina had emerged from the
battle of wills victorious.

Nicole: <announcers voice> THE...WINNNEEERRR!!!!!

        Soon though, she found that she could move again, although
slightly. She couldn't believe it! She had won and soon felt the
power
being planted within. Like a lightening bolt was being implanted into
her and she would be able to use it at her own discretion.

        Exhausted, she whispered with relief, "So... it's over..."

        "Well... yes and no." Another voice said from nowhere. Tina
turned to see what appeared to be a man... or was it a woman, wearing
a simple white, green, and blue robe. "In fact, it would be better to
say, it's only begun."

        "Who are you?"

        "A friend. Also, the one who helped Shara get away from Darkon
and his Lahdam monstrosities."

        "But... that doesn't explain who you are."

        "Very well then, Ms. Corman. If you must know, my name is
Konatsu." He said keeping his calm. "I also came to induct you into
what you will become."

All: <facefault>

Brian: Ouch...WH...now that was unexpected...

"And what's that?"

Another voice spoke from the void, "Teknos." Tina turned to see a
rather tall man with dark blue hair with sapphure colored eyes to
match, completely covered in black, silver, and copper colored armor.
The style itself was not too different from Slade's own design, but
just as ornate and alien. Hanging from his pauldrons, a cloak of
white
silk stretched to where his feet reached.

In his hand, a staff with a sphere imbedded into the top of a circle
on the end of it. It seemed to glitter as if it where made of diamond
or something more translucent.

"Who are you?"

The tall stranger replied quietly, "Rolf Wren.  I was once known as
Teknos Neigas, leader of the Nei-Tek."

"The what?"

"In more simple terms, the first generation Teknos. Many millennia
ago, the Mother took the outcast and rejected of many societies and
created a race of defenders. I was the first of such beings."

        Hearing that nearly brought some light into a few questions
she and several others had, "So, that's where the Teknomen came
from."
She said to herself.

        "Not exactly. What you refer to as Teknomen are really called
Tek-Namin. Corrupted Guardians in my language."

        Hearing that brought another question to Tina's mind, "Does
that mean that Darkon was good at one time?"

        Rolf nodded sadly, "He was a great warrior and a true friend."
The subject almost seemed painful for him as he continued, "We were
like brothers, the two of us. However, tragedies from an earlier part
of his life continued to haunt him until it drove him insane."

He turned away and continued, "I tried my best to help him. The last
thing I wanted was for him to become that what we struggled so hard
against. He also had many battles against Tek-Namin, doing his best
to
recover those who would be redeemed and keeping at bay those who
would
not."

All: Wow...

When I first discovered the signs, I had hoped that placing him in
isolation would have helped him. It was a difficult thing for me to
do."

As he finished speaking, Tina could almost see the very memory he was
speaking of. She saw Rolf sitting in the middle of a rocky field. A
look of apprehension was locked on his face. Within seconds, another
figure walked into the field to his location.

"You called for me?" The stranger asked. The best way to describe the
newcomer was that he seemed beast-like, but human at the same time.
His skin was a deep and dark blue; his somewhat unkempt,
shoulder-length, off white hair; partially gold eyes, barely visible
fangs, and long beast like ears made him look like something from a
story-book.

"Yes, Darkon." Rolf said, suppressing the fear he had before, "I
received some disturbing information and it's in regard to you."

The latter only stood his ground, knowing that the following would
not
be easy to hear. "Go on."

"The Mother has informed me that you are showing signs of letting
your
instincts take over more and more when you know for yourself that it
should not be."  He began to slump his head in sorrow as he
continued,
"She has also ordered me to place you in isolation until you can
learn
to control this nature of yours to a much better degree."

Nicole: Or the opposite...

A slow minute had passed and Darkon's head nodded. "If it be the
Mother's will, I shall abide by it."

Rolf quickly jumped from the rock he was sitting on in front of his
compatriot. "Galin, know that I'm not doing this because..."

His friend interrupted him, "Do you realize that it's been a long
time
since you called me by that name?"

"It's your name, isn't it?"

"It was my name." Darkon mumbled, turning away. "The reason why I
took
this oath to serve and protect was because I have no intention of
letting what happened on my home world ever happen again. When I made
that oath, I left Galin behind and became Teknos Darkon, the staff of
war."

Rolf began to frown. "Don't you ever believe that. Teknos or not,
you're still Galin." Rolf's face softened, he reached over and put
his
hand on the shoulder of the aforementioned. "It was Galin who saved
my
life and became my friend all those years ago. I would rather have
him
and you fighting by my side."

Darkon began to smile and said with a hint of sarcasm in his voice,
"You always know what to say; don't you, old friend."

"Well, you learn what you can. Even with this rusted bucket of bolts
for a body I have." He stepped away and said, "After you go into
isolation, may you return as quickly as you can."

"We shall see. Nevertheless, may 'Ioroush' give me the strength I
need
to overcome. Farewell." With that, Darkon had left into the distance
and the memory vanished with him.

Seeing this had completely shocked Tina. It suddenly dispelled all
the
things she had thought about Darkon and began to understand. Yet,
there was still something that didn't seem to fit.

All: Wow...again...

"If he was so strong for what he believed in, why or how did he go
bad?"

This time, Konatsu spoke, "The isolation which he went through is a
very hard thing to comprehend. It involves control over one's body
and
soul so powerful that the untrained could never achieved such
concentration. However, during his search, he gave into the dark
passions his blood had and very soon began to lie in wait for Neigas
and the others."

Nicole: In other words...he became the Darkon we all know...

"At that time, the several hundred races that the Teknos had once
protected were now hunting their protectors. They had entered into an
age of such prosperity that their technology exceeded that of our
own.
Within years, our numbers dwindled and dwindled. Many innocents were
lost and killed."

"And at the lowest point, Darkon reappeared. Many thought his return
would bring them hope... instead in brought what few of our warriors
was death. Not only that, he had enlisted the aid of the Lahdam and
made his getaway, after nearly killing what few of us were left."

"So... there's none left?"

At this time, Neigas continued for his companion, "After Darkon had
escaped, I had ordered what few were left to pursue and discover what
he intended to do had he not try to attack us. Soon, they found that
he was using the Lahdam to enslave worlds to his bidding. They ended
up sacrificing themselves to ensure that Darkon's plans would never
come into fruition. There are so few left now."

He turned away from Tina and lowered his head in shame, "Now with
this... after all this blood-shed, all this war, hardly anything will
be left of what was. I wish there was another way..."

Konatsu interrupted, "... but there isn't." He turned to Tina, "I
apologize, but it was decided that you should know all that you can
before emerging."

"I see... wait. Does that mean you knew it was going to be me who was
going to do this?"

Konatsu nodded. "The powers that be gave us the information that was
required for this. Usually, one who is a servent of the Creator,
Himself, gives the Mother the instruction she requires."

That seemed to make sense to Tina, until another question arose,
"Wait! Didn't you say that it was the Mother who gave each warrior
their power?" He nodded. "If that's so, where is she?"

Neigas stepped forward and said a bit defensively, "At the moment she
is gone. When she learned of Darkon's treachary, she took every
possible means to stop him. You need not worry." Tina was a bit taken
back by the way he had answered, but decided not to press the matter.

Brian: <smirks> But she's been near all this time, right?

With a small smile, Konatsu said to Neigas, "Now Neigas, you need not
stay any longer. She has learned all that she needs to learn from you
for the time being." With that, the older soldier left them alone in
the void.

He then turned to Tina, "Returning to the subject; until she returns,
she has given the authority to act in her name to ordain warriors to
defend. In addtition, were she here, you would be one of the second
generation, but I'm afraid that you must be classified as one of the
Megid. Meaning that you were found in a time of confusion and
turmoil,
but were instrumental in brining order out of chaos."

Nicole: Hopefully for both her and the world, right, WH? <holds up the banner again>

After a pause, Tina replied, "I have no problem with that."

        His smile grew warmer as he said, "Very well then, Tina
Corman." From his forehead, a line of pure light stretched from his
eyebrow to the tip of his hair. He closed his eyes and whispered, "By
the authority given to me by the Mother, I give you, Tina Abigal
Corman, the power of that which has been passed down for as long as
the Fathers and Mothers of Teknos have lived."

All: <snicker> "Abigale"?

        He then reached over and placed his hands upon the top of her
head. Not exactly knowing what was to happen next, Tina allowed him
to
do so and closed her eyes to concentrate on what he was saying. "With
this power I give to you, time shall mean little. Things once thought
impossible shall be done with effort. All that you shall receive
shall
be for the good of all.

Yet, be warned. Though you shall receive to use this power for good,
you are given the freedom to choose for yourself to grow into more
than what you are. Should you fall into darkness, you shall lose all
that you have gained. Notwithstanding this, you shall not be refused
should you wish with all your heart to return to the light."

All: <glare at WH>

        With that, a shining blue thread came from the light in his
forehead, floated through the void, and entered into the same spot on
Tina's head. The upload of information was almost too much for Tina
to
take as her body went under its first transformation and everything
was lost in a blinding light.

*****

        Far too much time had passed by Saber's standards. By now, the
wounds that he had been able to inflict on the Space Knight must have
been healed by now. Knowing his foe, they would increase their
defense
against them, making the conquest even more unlikely. Now was the
time
for action.

        "Come on!" Saber growled to Ax, Lance, and Rapier who were
practicing within their respective rooms in the Space Ring.

        "What?" Rapier asked putting his weapon away.

        "We're going to strike the Space Knight Command Center." He
said simply, heading for the nearest spider crab hive. After which,
he
would summon even more of the spider crabs and use them as cannon
fodder while he was going to kill Slade and Dagger. Having to retreat
once was bad enough, but twice was more than his pride could stand.

        "But the master said..." Lance said before Saber interrupted
him.

        "I'm aware of what the master said. We are simply making it
easier for our master by taking out the traitors! In addition; I'm
tired of waiting!"

Natsumi: Uh huh...nice piece of logic there, Saber.

        Tossing a glance towards his other two compatriots, Rapier
started to follow Saber, his mind full of doubt, "I hope you're
right."

        Following suit, Ax and Lance went through the passageway that
lead to the airlock.

        "Do you suppose the master will be angry with what we're
doing?" Ax asked his taller companion.

        Shaking his head, Lance replied, "I don't know. He's been
acting unusual lately."

        "You don't suppose that it has something to do with his past?"

        "Like before, I don't know. It may be. For all I know, he may
be still wresting for control against the Lahdam itself. He's no more
his own master than we are."

        "True." Ax said, jumping off the platform in pursuit of the
other two teknomen. "You know. If all the Lahdam have supplied for
this system is a probe, I wonder if they've begun to make
preparations
for a full scale assault."

        "They could be." He replied, following close behind his ally.

<Bells of Doom>

        They continued, not at all knowing that their master was
watching them leave inspite of his orders. It didn't surprise him in
the least of what they were doing. He almost expected Saber to do
something like this, being so controlled by his pride and what not.

        "Do as you wish, Saber. It will make you an even more useful
tool for my master plan." He stopped as he heard a disturbance in the
birthing chamber. Turning his mind to it, he noticed that she was
ready to be hatched. Focusing his power on the one within, he ordered

        "Now my servant. Come forth and serve me!"

        From the pod, another figure landed on the solid floor. The
new warrior, who was at one time known as Katherine Alexandria, now
Teknoman Sword, turned to her master and bowed in reverence to the
one
whom she referred as her master.

Brian: And the s**t hits the fan, folks!

*****

        Within half an hour, four hundred spider crabs, led by the
four teknomen, sped through the atmosphere and straight to the
Command
Center. During the middle of a thunder storm had provided the perfect
cover for them as they began to lay seige to the command center,
which
appeared to still be undergoing repairs.

The alarm cried alert as Ensign Yuuki's voice was heard over the PA.
"Attention. Attention. All personnel. Move to underground shelters. I
repeat, we are under attack, by both Teknomen and Spidercrabs. Move
to
underground shelters as soon as possible. All Teknosuit pilots, gear
up and repel spidercrab assault."

        After suiting up, Ringo looked at his specially made
Teknosuit. He even gave it the name "Valkyrie", after the Norse
warrior who guided the spirits of brave warriors to Valhala. He
always
wanted to name something that, but he never got the chance. Until
now.
Also, since his last battle he was able to add an extra weapon or two
to his personal teknosuit's arsenal, thanks to that same person who
gave him the previous weapons. Somehow, he knew that they were going
to be needed.

Brian: <plays "Valkyrie" from Macross II>

Nicole: <fireballs Brian>

        The message was repeated until all unneeded personnel was
moved into the shelters, where they would hope to be safe from the
attack. Within a matter of minutes, nine Teknosuit pilots had suited,
plus Ringo, charged up their guns, and flew out to meet the enemy.
With Slade leading the way, in his restored and enchanced form.

        It wasn't long, however, that Slade had encountered all four
of the newer teknomen and they had led him away from the Command
Center. Their plan being to lead him away from the teknosuits with
their enhanced Z-Tron weaponry, which had damaged Ax and Lance in the
previous battle.

*****

With the enhanced force shield defending the perimeter, the compound
seemed safe for only as twice as long as it did the last time and
that
was not long. As the bay doors opened, the defense force of the Space
Knights had moved out and engaged the enemy immediately. Within
seconds, Z-Tron energy spheres had leveled fifty percent of the enemy
forces and still going down rapidly. The day seemed won already,
except for Slade.

        At that same time, in the darkened loading bay, the
holding-chamber, which had been silent for a little more than a week,
had rumbled and something within began to stir. The substance began
to
shine immensely bright and when it seemed it could go no brighter, a
metal clad fist, punched its way out of the transparent aluminun
casing.

Brian: I could make an Utena joke here....but I won't.

        A figure, no taller than seven feet, stepped out and took a
breath of fresh air. It had been too long. A rumble disturbed the

Yui: ...and knocked the cricks out of her back.

figure from her rest and she looked to the exit where the signs of
the
battle were continuing.

Aside from that, she could feel a familiar presence in danger. He was
alone against four others like him. Though he was more powerful, the
odds were still against him. The figure then ran to the exit and in a
feat of super-human speed and agility, leaped up to the ceiling's
edge
and swung herself up to the roof.

Nicole: Look! It's a bird!

Yui: It's a plane!

Natsumi: It's a...flying pig?

Brian, Nicole, Yui: HUH???

Natsumi: Well...Saber's chances of winning this fight now *are* the same as a pig flying.

B, N, Y: <groan and hit Yui>

*************************************************

        Even with his new found powers, going up against Saber was
hard enough, but with another 3 Teknomen attacking him
simultaneously,
he almost had no chance. Backing him into a corner, the four enemy
Teknomen closed in like ravenous wolves for the kill.

        "What's the matter Slade? Even with this unusual new power you
have, you still can't take me in a fair fight?" Saber mocked as his
subordinates walked behind him. All four of them preparing to fire
their own teknobolt at the traitor of Darkon.

        "Oh really? You should talk about fighting fair Saber." Slade
said while bringing up his right gauntlet, the plate sliding down to
reveal the second set of blaster crystals, almost waiting for the
incoming onslaught.

Feeling their battle won, all four teknomen fired their own tekno
bolts at Slade with enough power to take out an entire metropolis. As
they saw the resulting explosion, they saw a second light coming from
inside the blast site. Before any four of them could move, the blast
reformed and shot back at them, adding more power and speed to the
energy discharge.

        For Saber and his lackeys, dodging the oncoming energy blast
was almost a miracle. All four of them unscathed physically, but
their
countenances had suffered greatly. Walking from the oval shaped
crater, Slade snapped at the enemy. "You looked surprised Saber.
Never
thought I could do that, did I?"

All: Heh...

Looking back at the devastation then at his foe. "Ok Saber. No more
tricks. Just you and me! Now!"  With out another word, he flew
towards
his brother at a pace that startled everyone, but Saber. Blades
clashed like bells as the two brothers fought to their limits to see
the other dead.

Nicole: In other words...business as usuall for these two.

"Quickly, we must help master Saber." Axe proclaimed as he began to
move, with Lance behind
him, and Rapier not moving "Lance, come on! Saber needs our help!"
Axe
insisted to his ally, but before the defiant Teknoman could even
reply, a shout was heard an a explosion of energy followed.

"Tekno Bolt!"

Then, a rather large wave of blue energy screamed past the three as
they saw the source.

It was another Teknoman, and this one didn't come from Darkon either.
The orange colored knight, walked casually to the edge of the cliff
underneath them and cried to get their attention, as if they'd had it
enough already.

"Hey boys! Wanna play ball?" the orange, white, black armored and
definitely feminine looking armored warrior said.

        "Who... or what are you?!"

With an unhappy tone, she answered, "If I gave you guys my name,"
from her right hand, a four foot long scythe appeared at the end of a
six-foot pole, "you'd get it dirty."


End of Chapter 2

All: LOL!!!

Nicole: Nice one, Tina!
