Across the threshold: My name is Voidmond 04

Across the threshold: My name is Voidmond 04

As Voidmond stood in his armored form, Wisey asked, "Ally to heroes? What kind of hero stealing treasures from civilians?" Looking at Bakore, Voidmond stated, "The kind that should redeem themselves, clearly." He turned back and stated, "You guys need to be better at your job. It's your fault that you failed so miserably so far." "Look!" Wisey stated pulling out a G-Saber in Gun form "I'm sorry, I can't let you escape!" "Very well." Voidmond said and immediately Wisey felt a fist in the stomach, sending him flying into nearby garbage cans. As Mordecai and Louise were watching this, Mordecai commented, "That's impossible! Coreless beings can't access the F.U.Z.O.R.'s full capabilities!" Suddenly Louise grabbed a shovel an threw it at Voidmond, smacking him in the head. "OW! What the!?" Voidmond said before turning to Louise. "Oh, you, I forgot about you were here." He stated before a few dozen bullets hit him. "Take this (censored)!" James said as he fired a volley of bullets upon Voidmond. "You little punk!" Running out of ammo James shifts the G-Saber into sword form and moved to attack Voidmond only for the humonculi to catch the blade in his hand. "You really want to lose an eye don't you kid." Voidmond stated before yanking the blade out of James's hand and kicking the sirian towards Wisey's direction. Voidmond, then walked towards Bakore who turned to him. "You alright?" he asked but Bakore asked angry but confused, "Why did you have to do that?" "Look, do you want to join your family or not?" Voidmond asked. "Don't mess with me!" Bakore called out, "You're using the F.U.Z.O.R.!" Seeing a beam of light emerge from the Grendel, Voidmond grabbed Bakore and flung him towards the beam.

Meanwhile Q and Scott quickly raised their weapons and charged at the four and seeing his brother and Scott take on the four newcomers, Chase opened fire on the newcomers. Scott clashed with Vandrin and Tarrot while Q is trying to fend off Tavo and Binn. Noticing the beam of light shoot from the Grendel, Chase on the tower cursed and got ready to shoot. Suddenly, Tavo's shoulder exploded in a spray of bodily fluids. "GAAAHHHH" Tavo screamed as Vandrin spun around to his friend's plight. Seeing the bloody crater on Tavo's shoulder, Binn kicked Q aside and ran to his ally. "What the heck happened?" Binn asked as Tavo quickly healed but the transformed garuda pushed him off, before a  bullet pierced the ground, calling out, "Sniper!" Vandrin hearing this broke off and headed for the apartment. Seeing this Scott attempted to give chase but was stopped by something grabbing his leg, causing him to fall flat on his face and dropping his gun. Looking back, Scott noticed a purple vine wrapped around his leg originating from the weapon that Tarrot wielded. "Oh no you don't!" Tarrot stated, "Your opponent's me!" Immediately Scott threw his arm out and a spike emerged from the gauntlet and shot it at Tarrot 's head. Immediately Tarrot dodged the spike as it impaled the wall. "Well that's the first!" Tarrot stated turning "Now, let's finish this- What the?" Before him Scott seemed to have vanished in the air. Hearing a swoosh behind him Tarrot spun around to see Scott behind him, "Hello there!" Scott said before socking the humonculi in the face. Staggering, Tarrot retaliated by throwing a flurry of punches. Scott himself dodged the blows and produced another spike from his gauntlet. "Shoot!" Tarrot said moving to jump back. Shooting the second spike, Scott lunged for his gun only for Tarrot to strike him in the side. "Scott, the Ship is emitting a teleportation beam. I'll take out the Serpent guy!"

Seeing Bakore being chucked towards the beam of light like a sack of potatoes, Mordecai called out to Voidmond "Voidmond stop! What the heck are you DOING!?" Turning to Mordecai, Voidmond walked up to the two onlookers and whispered, "I am putting on a show for Verdtrus' and the others. Don't get me wrong, Null Chaser, I do want you to use the F.U.Z.O.R. but I need to get rid of these Red Dragon guys first. I'll contact you as soon as I can." He then grabbed them and tossed them towards Wisey and James. Suddenly he raised his palm and fired a beam of purplish light towards one of the buildings, blowing a hole in the side of the building. "You see this? This is the power the F.U.Z.O.R., and I may harm a lot of people" Voidmond said to Mordecai pulling up another F.U.Z.O.R., "If you want to stop me, then use this F.U.Z.O.R.!" Voidmond then tossed it towards Mordecai's feet and walked into the beam, disappearing into it's light. As Wisey helped James up, Louise and Mordecai saw the beam of light dissipate immediately.

Leaping onto the roof Vandrin stood and listened for a gunshot. Suddenly an electric hum rang through the air causing his head to jump back before an electric bolt lands in front of him. Vandrin tunred to where the shot came from and noticed the tower where Chase is sniping. Immediately he pulled out a comm and turned it on. "Eithine can you" he started before a bolt takes out his shoulder, causing him to fall. Getting up, Vandrin noticed the destroyed comm and stated, "Shoot!" He then stood up and turned to Tavo who is now getting up as Q and Binn clashed with claws on G-Saber. Dodging another blast, Vandrin called out "Tavo! The tower!" before he got shot in the Chest. Seeing this and the National Trades tower, Tavo lit up his back thrusters and rocketed off the ground. Seeing this Chase immediately shot at Tavo only for the transformed garuda to dodge a lot of blasts. Lowering his gun Chase thought, 'If that guy reaches the tower, the civilians will be in danger!' and pulled out the card to summon his hovercraft. As the hovercraft materialized in front of him, Chase jumped onto it, summoned G Saber, and directed the craft towards the transformed garuda. The two rushed at each other in frightening speed. Seeing the Tavo entering the ship through a side hatch, Chase said, "Oh no you don't!"

Another beam of light from the Grendel strike the ground, causing Binn to break away from Q, who called out "(HEY! Come back you coward!)" before Vandrin landing on top of him. Seeing the beam Tarrot gritted his teeth and said "We'll finish this later!" before following Binn and Vandrin into the beam before dissipating. As this happened, Tavo broke off his fight with Chase and rushed towards the Grendel.  As the vessel began to turn around, Scott helped Q up and said, "Come on we got to get the others!" As the two ran back, Chase landed near the side hatch, and pulled out his electric crossbow and aimed at the side hatch. Inside, as Flipp stood with the others in the bridge immediately felt something and looked. "That's everyone." Eithine said as Flip walked through the entrance, catching Flaron's attention. Breaking off, she approached  "What is it?" Flaron asked as Eithine spoke with Verdtrus. "Someone's here," Flip said "Someone familiar." "That must be Voidmond." Flaron explained, "Maybe you haven't gotten used to him yet." "No, I recognize this presence. Excuse me." He placed his hand on the wall nearby and suddenly a ripple of energy emitted from his hand. "A bird?" he asked himself. Turning, Flip said, "There's a big bird on board." Suddenly an explosion rang through the halls causing the ship to shake. Flaron turned to Flip and stated "Come on! Let's get the others."

In the teleportation bay, Tarrot materialized onto the teleportation pad with Vandrin and Binn. "So you're the allies that the others were talking about." Voidmond said coming out from the shadows. "Who are you?" Vandrin demanded. Removing this helmet, Voidmond said offering his hand, "Hi my name is Voidmond." "You!" Tarrot called out, noticing the F.U.Z.O.R. "Where did you get that?" Removing the F.U.Z.O.R. he stated, "I'm just using what we had at our disposal. Despite that, Your guardian was effective at deterring the local police. (At least until your pursuers arrived)." As Voidmond's armor dissipated The F.U.Z.O.R. began to rust. As the fake F.U.Z.O.R. deteriorated into dust, Voidmond explained, "I borrowed your bracelet before you brought it to your leader." Tarrot then walked up to Voidmond and grabbed his collar. "Where is the F.U.Z.O.R.?" Tarrot demanded. "It's with me," Voidmond explained pulling out another F.U.Z.O.R., "I created several F.U.Z.O.R.s just in case you fail in your mission. I gave one to Mordecai to protect himself." "G-Zero?" Vandrin asked. Snatching the F.U.Z.O.R. Tarrot grabbed him and pulled the Fake garuda to an empty room within the  him, "Don't pull that kind of (censored) again!" "Fine, I'm keeping one of the F.U.Z.O.R.S." Raising the F.U.Z.O.R. Tarrot asked "Is this the original?" "No, this is." Voidmond stated, revealing the original F.U.Z.O.R. "I'll give it to you want to back, only if you give the one your holding." "Why?" Tarrot demanded. "I have 3 of the fake F.U.Z.O.R.s left which means I have three transformations left. You know when you showed up and one of your necklaces turned into dust?" Letting Voidmond go, Tarrot told him "Why are you actually here?" "To help you in stopping G-Zero." Voidmond explained, "I'm from another time and space than yours, the future if you will." "Okay," Tarrot said raising an eyebrow, "so you're some time cop?" "Not really, more like a herald," Voidmond answered, "for a group of concerned people. They go by many names but they are most known as the eight immortal generals." Suddenly the ship shook, interrupting their conservation short. "Turbulence!?" Voidmond asked. "Maybe," Tarrot said and held out the F.U.Z.O.R. As the two swapped F.U.Z.O.R.s Tarrot said, "You should tell Verdtrus this immediately and out of ear shot of the Red Dragon. I don't trust these Red Dragon folks one bit." "Fine," Voidmond stated  The two then left the room, Kaiser, emerged from the shadows saying to himself "Well, that's a new one!"
