A few minutes later and deeper in the forest, Gatack skidded to a halt and shook his head once again. The scent and sensation of blood had rapidly filled his visor making the rider cough in disgust. This is just like... Renji thought but a faint humming caught his attention. Gatack began to search the area, nearly falling into a pit in the process.
V3, injured from the fall and the spikes piercing his body, was stirred from semi-consciousness by a sudden shower of dirt falling on his face from above. The rider opened his eyes and wearily looked up, expecting that thing to have returned. Instead he was greeted by a friendly voice... Gatack.
At the same time, Gatack had knelt down to peer deeper into the pit. He could see the walls lined with spikes from near the top all the way to the bottom. Or so he assumed anyway. Gatack gave a cry of surprise as two familiar red dots pierced the darkness below him.
"V3!! Are you ok!" Gatack yelled, unsure how deep the pit was or if his comrade was still alive.
V3 coughed in response to the voice. "Gatack... beware..." V3's voice grew weaker as he began to go into repair mode "Save Two and girl... repair mode online..."
Gatack started to yell for V3 not to die until he faintly heard "repair mode" and the red dots faded into the darkness. Gatack fist pounded the ground as he growled in anger. Whatever had harmed V3 was going to pay... dearly. Having little choice, Gatack placed an invisible marker at the pits edge that linked to his rider communication and vision systems. This would allow him to find V3 no matter how deep in the forest Gatack went in search of his missing comrade.
15 minutes later
Gatack froze at the sight before him. The missing girl was hanging from a tree, bound and gagged with a terrified expression on her face. Blood was splattered on and around her, obviously something bad happened here. Gatack stepped forward to the free her, only to be kicked away from the side. Rolling from the hit Gatack got to one knee and scanned for his attacker.
"Yummy... fresh live prey!" An animalistic voice snarled as a humanoid figure stepped from the shadows leaving Gatack to stare in horror. It was the hunter rider Amazon, but that wasn't what was making Renji's stomach twist into knots.
Rider Two... pierced through her abdomen and lifelessly hanging from Amazons forearm. Shreds of skin hung off Two's upper body and part of her face was gone. Gatack could see more strands of skin hanging from various parts of her body as if Amazon had been interrupted in his meal.
Which he had been...
As Amazon calmly shook Two's corpse from his arm, Gatack stood up as rage coursed through his body. Amazon grinned wickedly, his monstrous fangs glittered ruby red as blood dripped off them splattering onto the ground.
"Time to EAT!!!" Amazon roared charging Gatack in a frenzy. Gatack blocked most of the punches sent his way but wasn't prepared for the attack that did hit him.
"JAGUAR SHOCK!" Amazon suddenly howled and in a flash he'd bit down on Gatacks upper arm, sending pulses of lightning-like energy through his fangs. Renji screamed in sudden agony as the energy began to short circuit his armor. Kicking out Gatack knocked Amazon off of him, dropping to one knee in pain.
Though he'd never admit it, Renji allowed Amazon that hit... desiring to get up close and personal to see the injuries that Two had caused him before her death. Behind his visor Renji smiled. Two did a damn good job on the beast, he had to give her that. The right side of his visor was shattered and Renji could see that Amazon was blind in the eye due to the broken fragments slicing inward from the hit.
Amazon roared in pain as more of his visor pieces fell off, revealing more of the beast that was underneath. Scaly green reptile-like skin, the eyes of a panther, nose and mouth of a primate and what looked to be patches of bloody black spotted fur all mixed together.
"You... really are a monster huh Amazon?" Gatack snapped flipping his zectors mandibles open "Where does the armor end and your face begin?!" Gatacks armor was seemingly coming apart which caused Amazon to howl
with laughter.
"Tch. Cast Off! CAST OFF!" Gatacks armor violently flew apart, most of the pieces smashing into Amazon and sending him crashing into a tree. A much sleeker form was revealed as two horns clicked into place on the side of Gatacks head causing "CHANGE STAG BEETLE" to be announced.
Amazon rolled in pain and gave a questioning grunt at the sudden change in his opponent. Gatack pulled his double calibers off his shoulders and charged Amazon with a roar.
Gatack snarled "Clock Up" as he hit a pad on his waist "CLOCK UP" echoed as time slowed to a standstill, and Amazon was frozen. Gatack delivered multiple deep lacerating blows to Amazon; slicing him in the chest, back, hips and both legs. He the waited till "CLOCK OVER" was announced to witness the multiple explosions and screams of pain from Amazon. Collapsing to the ground Amazon was bleeding heavily and could only turn to face the blue rider while struggling to stand. Gatack strode over to the fallen rider who glared hatefully up at him.
"Finish me! Or I'll-" But Amazon never got a chance to finish his threat. "Clock Up! CLOCK UP!" Gatack moved easily, zooming around the area and positioning his 'final scene' just right...
"CLOCK OVER"
"I'll - What the hell?!!" Amazon exclaimed as he found himself 'apologizing' to the dead female, who'd been placed against a tree and seemed to be looking down on him. "Ugh!" He gasped in pain as a boot was shoved into his back forcing his head to ground.
"Apologize to Two" Gatack commanded pushing his boot further into Amazon's back "NOW!"
"Nev-- ARRRRGGHHHHH!!!!" Amazon screamed as Gatack began to pull on his left arm, nearly ripping it from the socket. "Like hell I- EEGGGAAAAHHH!" A sicking rip-pop-crack echoed as Gatack ripped Amazons left arm completely off. Even a beast like Amazon knew when he was beaten. "I'm... sorry..." He spat suddenly finding himself pulled up to his feet. Gatack brushed some debris off of Amazon and remarked "Now that wasn't so hard was it?" Amazon staggered back clutching his open wound, and turned away to leave. "I'll be back you-"
"RIDER CUTTING!" was the last thing Amazon heard as Gatack chopped off his head with a single though painful attack. Amazons body dropped to the ground, sparking as Gatack caught his head mid-fall. Releasing the girl, Gatack picked up Two's body and still carrying Amazon's head, began to retrace his steps to pick up V3. He turned to say something to the girl only to find she was gone. The faint sounds of footsteps faded into the distance.
Looking at the mutilated body he carried Renji whispered sadly "I'm sorry I couldn't save you Two" Moving through the dense forest Gatack returned to the pit that held the wounded V3. Renji pulled off his zector shattering the transformation and knelt down.
"V3!! Can you hear me?!" Renji called though he didn't get an answer. "Probably still in repair mode" He muttered as he once again henshined into Gatack and cast off to the sleek rider form. He'd 'reset' the armors clock up function, so to speak. He laid Two down and hit a pad at his waist.
"Clock Up! CLOCK UP" Zipping down the spikes like stepping stones, Gatack easily reached the bottom and freed V3, though some spikes still pierced the riders body. Zipping back up with V3, destroying the trap in the process, Gatack smiled wearily beneath his visor.
"CLOCK OVER"
Picking up Two once more, Gatack made his way to the tank. And nearly gagged at the scent of death and decay coming from it. Laying both Two and V3 down outside the tank, Gatack went in and removed the corpses from their resting places. He activated clock up once more and zipped back to Amazon's headless corpse. He placed the driver and commander atop Amazon and used the remaining time in clock up to burn the bodies.
Now truly exhausted, Gatack staggered out of the forest and carried V3 and Two into the tank. Renji began to remove the remaining spikes from V3 and upon finishing laid down to rest when his gaze fell on Two once more. He didn't want V3 to see Two like she was... perhaps it was stupid or sentimental of him but regardless Renji began to patch up Two as best he could. He looked darkly at the beastial skull of Amazon before breaking his henshin for a final time.
Leaning up against a seat, Renji could hear the faint humming of V3's repair mode stopping. He'd wake up soon and Renji had no idea what to tell him...
