Guyver: Re:Birth

Forget to Remember

The rain just continued to come down. She had hopes when she crawled out of bed, after she’d gotten her shower, and after many pancakes were enjoyed, that maybe the rain might stop. Enough she could walk to work anyway. But no such luck. Pants were slid on, an old anime printed tee was slipped over, and Converse All-Stars were tied. Leaving her to grab a piece of toast in her mouth, and snatching her vintage bomber jacket on the way out the door.
Least she was dry and safe inside her Old Jeep on the way to work. Usually she would've taken the bike, but not with this rain coming down harder now than she remembered when she first woke up. It was getting worse.. perfect. Must be bad, there wasn't anyone else on the roads except her. Yea, this was classic small town Texas. But still. You'd think there would've been someone heading somewhere. There weren't even the big trucks heading through town on their way to Dallas. And she should've been paying attention to the road..
Her eyes snapped forward when she caught the movement out of the corner of her eye. Reflex sunk in. Her foot slammed onto the brakes, her hands gripping the wheel violently turned it away.. And the world slid into slow motion. The Jeep going onto two wheels, the violently spinning rear tire coming within inches of the Dog cowering and frozen stiff, and then the world sped up once again. The Cherokee smacked against it's side, sliding along the wet street while the woman inside held onto the wheel tight.
She was alive. She had to be alive, she doubted being dead hurt this much. Selena took a single deep breath and unhooked the belt. And more pain.. She fell straight through the driver's compartment and slammed her shoulder into the passenger door.. and the asphalt it was now resting against. That hurt just as much as she thought it might. But she could move now. Crawling her way back towards whatever strange direction up was, using her now only good shoulder to press against the door until it flung open. .. And the Collie, the one she almost hit that started this whole mess, was just sitting there. On the sidewalk. Watching her with her pink tongue just hanging out like nothing at all was wrong with this scene. “... You could be more grateful... Alot of people in this town wouldn’t have swerved..” An excited bark was her only response. ... Well, not her only response.
Selena’s blue eyes widened when she watched as the Collie began changing. How hard had she struck her head?! It was bleeding but.. Selene watched in absolute horror, and so much confusion, as the Collie’s bones broke and reshaped. Muscles tore with sickening sounds and reformed themselves as the beast grew.. Becoming some sort of upright standing Beastial of an animal she'd never seen before.. And there were more of them! Species of dogs, cats, rats, spilling out of the alleyways and storefronts like one of those classic B zombie movies she liked watching. "... Halloween a little early, guys?"
They were coming closer. She didn't know what they were, but them coming closer couldn't be good! Groaning, straining against the pain in her entire body from the accident, Selena put those years of high school gymnastics to the test and lifted herself out of her car using her arms alone. Least her legs still worked.. They hurt, and when she saw the gash running along her thigh she knew why. But she could run. Each one of them turned and followed her movements like some perverse dance as she made a break for the nearby alley.
She knew where she was. Tom's Music Trade was off to her left, meaning Minnie's Diner was to the right. And Bob's Tool's was across the street. So she crashed off Duncan and Anderson somewhere near her Clinic. A mile from her clinic, but a mile she could do. She just needed to stay off the streets and away from.. whatever the hell those things were! She could hear them behind her, but they were moving to slowly. Which meant they were chasing her. They were corralling her maybe? Or just playing with her before they ate her alive... My Selena, there was a pleasant thought. She guessed thinking they were all guys in rubber suits was asking a little much..
Pressing her back firm against the brick wall of Minnie’s, Selena took a sharp intake of breath. Feeling along her right side she confirmed what she was hoping she was imagining.. two broken ribs, and atleast three more cracked. Head wound, thigh wound, and now broken ribs. She had the trifecta of Auto Accident Injuries. Pick It Up! .. And now she was hearing voices?! Looking around, she thought it might be one of those animals tracking her down.. But there wasn’t anyone around her! “... Okay, so now we’re hallucinating. Couldn’t you atleast be Brad Pitt or something?” Pick It Up Or You’re Dead! ... Pick what up?! She began looking around, and when she saw it.. She suddenly knew she wasn’t hallucinating anymore. It looked like it might’ve been from the movie Alien. Slick, almost an oval shape. Sickingly glistening from the rains still pounding down, with what looked like a great silver eye in the center. .. Had to be whatever the voice meant.. “.. Okay.. I’m being chased by rabid upright walking animals... Listening to the loud voice in my head strangely isn’t the weirdest thing I’ve done today.”
The instant Selena picked up the device her mind was flooded with images. Words she didn’t know the meanings to. The creatures, Zoanoids, Kronos, Guyver! “Guyver..” The creatures closed in upon the sounds emerging from the alley, the bright lights flashing from within casting shadows of what might be happening within. Clothes being shredded, armor being formed, a new weapon being born! The loud hiss of air escaping was only the warning. The creature within the alley moved with blinding speed. Rushing from the darkness to grip the Collie which had taken delight in the accident around it’s slender neck. Lifting the bio creature from off it’s kicking feet.
The Armored Creation took a feminine shape. Slender feminine proportions wrapped in silver armor which looked almost like natural muscle, augmented with machinery. There were blades within her forearms aimed backward along the slope of her arms, three of those silver eyes swiftly moving within her helmet. But soon all three snapped forward. Focusing completely upon the creature she held.. Staring at it, staring through it, two crimson eyes suddenly came to life in the helmet of the Bio Booster Armor. A hiss of air escaping the nozzles on either side of the faceplate. The Guyver had woken! “Bad Dog.”
All the creature could do was release a single whimper. The Guyver’s movement were fluid, like the gentle pull of the bow across the violin. The Collie was dropped, the blades extended from within the Armor’s arms backward, and both arms were brought together infront of her... Slicing both blades through the creature, bisecting it easily as a sharp blade through a roast. Blood sprayed, coating the armor as it coldly turned towards the other creatures now standing stunned.
The two halves of the Collie struck the ground and the Guyver was just a blur of movement. The Beasts all cried out in turn as Guyver ran between them, slashing through one after another. And when the Armor stopped, the blades retracted back into her arms, each one erupted in fountains of blood and gore. ... But just as sudden as it all happened it all came to an end. The armor peeled from off her skin and Selena crumpled onto the cold wet ground. Alone, naked, and the rain just kept falling.
