Showdown in the Suburbs
Cyborg Giant: "You are not our target. Step aside."
Tatsuya clenches his fists, staring intently.
Tatsuya: "A cyborg… Could it be…?"
Without warning, the Cyborg Giant lunges forward, swinging a devastating punch aimed at Tatsuya's head. Tatsuya counters by locking the attack in a headlock-style hold, using his right arm to shield himself.
Cyborg Giant: "What!?"
Tatsuya: "I have… a few questions for you."
The Cyborg Giant tries to strike with his left arm, but Tatsuya swiftly dodges. From behind them, a voice echoes with sinister laughter.
???: "Gahaha! Looks like you're in a tight spot!"
Tatsuya turns to see a muscular, mole-like Kaijin emerging from the ground.
Lion Kaijin: "Nice work, Big Topo! Our job's so much easier when they can't resist!"Tatsuya glances at Kazuto, still half-buried in the ground.
Tatsuya: "Master…!"
He tries to rush over, but the Cyborg Giant grabs him by the torso, holding him back.
Tatsuya: "Enough of this… Basic Plasma Cannon, ready!"
From Tatsuya's left arm, a concentrated plasma beam erupts, striking the Cyborg Giant and sending him flying. The explosion shakes the area, leaving a cloud of smoke.
Mole Kaijin: "What the…?!"
But as Tatsuya turns to help Kazuto, the Cyborg Giant falls from above, crashing into the ground and leaving a crater. Tatsuya narrowly avoids being crushed.
Cyborg Giant: "I am the Crystal of Strength from the Sanctuary of Evolution! My name is Titan Machina! Your petty attacks won't work on me!"
Tatsuya: "What? Did he say Sanctuary of Evolution? What do you want from my Master?"
Titan Machina: "That doesn't concern you. Our orders are to eliminate anyone who opposes us… without fail!"
Titan Machina's body begins to inflate, his armor expanding as he becomes larger and more intimidating.
Titan Machina: "I'LL DESTROY YOU!"
Meanwhile, Kazuto, still half-buried, looks unimpressed.
Kazuto: "Hey, what's with that face? Why are you… SO ANNOYING!?"
Lion Kaijin chuckles, his claws twitching.
Lion Kaijin: "Heh, that's what I call a helpless position. Let's make it worse!"Kazuto: "You know, the ground is kind of warm and snug. Feels nice. I might take a nap, so leave me alone."
Mole Kaijin grows angry.
Lion Kaijin: "GAHAHAHA! Looks like I'll have to make you understand who's in charge. How about I rip out your eyes? Let's see if you're still cocky then!"
Just as he points his claws, Kazuto effortlessly pushes himself out of the ground.
Kazuto: "Alright, enough jokes."
Mole Kaijin freezes, his jaw dropping.
Mole Kaijin: "He… he got out like it was nothing!"
The lion-like Kaijin standing nearby snarls, his muscles bulging as chains wrapped around him snap.
Lion Kaijin: "Heh, guess it's time to show you… THE LAW OF THE JUNGLE!"
With a roar, the Lion Kaijin slashes through a nearby building, reducing it to rubble, then unleashes a flurry of razor-sharp slashes aimed at Kazuto. Kazuto dodges effortlessly, weaving between the attacks.
Kazuto: "Ah, crap. My pants are dirty now."
Lion Kaijin: "I'LL SHOW YOU MY TRUE POWER… BEAST KING BLADE FURY!"
Mole Kaijin tries to intervene.
Mole Kaijin: "Wait! Don't kill him yet!"
Lion Kaijin ignores him, tearing through the two previously buried Kaijins, reducing them to shreds.
Lion Kaijin: "LAW OF THE JUNGLE, BABY! YOU'RE NEXT!"
Lion Kaijin's muscles swell to grotesque proportions as his ultimate attack charges.
Kazuto: "Ugh, fine."
Kazuto prepares his signature move.
Kazuto: "CHAIN STRIKE…!!"
With a single devastating blow, Kazuto disintegrates the Lion Kaijin, leaving only ashes. Mole Kaijin stares in disbelief.
Mole Kaijin: "Huh…?"
Kazuto turns, his expression dark and furious.
Kazuto: "You're next."
Mole Kaijin panics, digging desperately to escape.
Mole Kaijin: "What was that!? Nobody said he could do that kind of stuff…! I'm out of here!"
As he digs, Kazuto suddenly appears in his path, grinning maliciously.
Kazuto: "Found you."
Mole Kaijin: "NO WAY!"
Kazuto punches him with enough force to send him flying out of the ground and into the sky, lifeless.
Back to Tatsuya and Titan Machina.
Tatsuya: "Answer my question or be destroyed. Your choice."
Titan Machina: "You'll be the one destroyed, brainless brute."
Despite being heavily damaged, Titan Machina smirks.
Titan Machina: "In the Sanctuary of Evolution, I'm only ranked third in power. You could never defeat our number two… the Beast King! With that level of strength, he'll destroy you!"
Kazuto walks up, holding the Beast King's dismembered eye.
Kazuto: "You mean this guy?"
Tatsuya looks at the eye, then at Titan Machina.
Tatsuya: "…Looks like it."
Titan Machina stares at the eye, his demeanor changing instantly.
Titan Machina: "Um… Forgive me! I'll answer all your questions! Please spare me!"
Kazuto: "Whoa, what the heck? A moment ago you were talking like some indestructible robot."
Titan Machina: "Sorry, I was trying to sound cool."
The scene cuts off with Kazuto and Tatsuya staring incredulously at the now-pleading cyborg.
