Chapter 6 - Powerdizer

Shin then felt the energy within the circle nearing its critical point and planned to erect another barrier in front of Yuuki. But he then felt something and chose not to do what he planned to do.

As soon as the beam shot, a yellow robot arm extended in front of Yuuki and blocked the laser beam. Everyone was shocked by the sudden appearance of 3 meters tall yellow robot. The robot looks like coming straight from the transformer movie with the vehicle part integrated into its body. Judging from its look, it had several modes that it could change into.

"POWERDIZER," the robot announced itself with its mechanical voice.

"Are you alright, Yuuki?" said Kengo from inside the robot cockpit. Hearing the boy's voice, Shin became interested with it structure and used one of his abilities, x-ray vision, to look inside the robot.

"it turns out to be some sort of exoskeleton armor rather than a robot. The interesting toy you have there, boy." Said Shin as he scanned the inside structure of the robot. With his vision, he could see Kengo controlling the robot movement with a maneuvering system you could see from a mecha fiction.

"Yup." Yuuki nodded her head. She smiled brightly to assured her friend that she was okay. And then, with a cheerful look, she pointed to the monster in front of her, "Look, it has Orion constellation on its body. It's a Zodiart!"

"So it'd seem. You better get back," said Kengo as he maneuvered Power Dizer to charged at Orion Zodiart. Kengo then used Power Dizer to punch at the Zodiart, forcing it to took several steps back. He tackled the Zodiart, which countered with a punch at the giant yellow robot.

Power Dizer piloted by Kengo block the kick with its two wheels at its arm, acting as arms. Kengo then delivered a kick that threw the Zodiart flew several meters. He wanted to throw another attack at the Zodiart, but his weak body ran out of stamina. The zodiart used this moment to fled from there.

Shin that was watching this whole time, just shook his head. He thought that they needed the hero to awaken his power. Otherwise, it would become a pain in the butt to clean up the mess. As Shin thought that, he realized that he could research the mysterious energy if he tapped into the monster's body for a little bit. So he disappeared from his place and reappeared in from the fleeing monsters with a grin on his face.

The Orion zodiart running from the yellow robot came to a halt after seeing a human in front of him. Its face contorted in shock because the human in front of him suddenly appeared from nowhere. The human then raised his hand and waved his hand as if greeting his friend. "Hi there, Orion Zodiart-Kun."

(A/N: in the series, the monster cannot show any emotion on their face because it is just a costume. I assume it still can show emotion if it was real)

Before he started his 'interview' with Orion Zodiart, Shin erected an anti-surveillance barrier along with all sorts of damage nullification barrier around them. He knew that some annoying eyes sometimes watching everything that happened within the school premises.

Orion Zodiart twitched on the human words, and something inside it told it that the human was dangerous. It immediately charged up its beam to shot the human down. But before its beam fully charged, the human suddenly disappeared. The beam that lost its target then touched the barrier that Shin erected before being engulfed by it.

Orion Zodiart desperately trying to find the strange human. Then it sensed a presence behind it, but it felt its body became stiff and could not move a finger when it wanted to turn around.

"Woah, that was dangerous! Didn't your mother teach you not to play with a beam?" Said the human nonchalantly.

The human, Shin, then walked around Orion's body to inspect every single inch of its body. "Hhmm, except a humanoid form, every single bit of you turned into something else non-human. And ..*ting* your skin become so hard, probably harder than steel, huh?"

"Excuse me, it will be slightly uncomfortable," Shin said as he turned his hand opaque and shoved it to Orion's body. Orion showed discomfort on his face as Shin moved his hand around its body. "As I expected, the energy feels similar to that boy Kengo emitted but more sinister and corrupted."

"Wh..o..ar..e..you? Wha..t a..re you... do..ing with ..my..bo..dy?!" asked Orion in a broken voice.

"As you can see, I am just a normal student at Amanogawa High School," Shin answered with a broad smile on his face as he pulled his hand from inside Orion.

'What part of you is normal?!' Orion retorted on its mind as its ability to talk was disrupted. Its face contorted because it holding pain and discomfort having a foreign object inside its body. And the more terrifying thing was the human that was messing with its body was grinning ear-to-ear.

Shin wanted to continue his research, but he felt some presence trying to pry inside the anti-surveillance barrier he erected before meeting Orion. "Ah, some pervert trying to peek our date. Orion-kun, I am sorry, but I need you to forget our meeting. But don't you worry, I will not expose your human identity to others as that is not my business."

Shin tapped Orion's head and then disappeared from the scene. Orion just stood there for a moment with a blank face before undoing his transformation. He cursed at the boy and the yellow robot from before, not remembering anything from a minute ago. "What with that transfer student?! and that annoying yellow robot! If not because of them, I ... I...I can punish that bastard!"

Kengo walked limply on the empty hallway of the abandoned old building while Yuuki followed him worriedly. He then entered a messy storeroom inside and opened an unassuming locker. If anyone else saw what was inside the locker, they would be shocked to the core. Because, unlike a typical locker, this locker connected to a white-bright-otherworldly pathway.

There was a small energy leakage coming from the pathway through the locker. It was undetected by the normal method, but this could not escape a certain immortal looking for unusual energy around the school perimeter. While Shin strolled toward the storeroom, Kengo and Yuuki entered the pathway. Without the duo's knowledge, two people were aware of the magical phenomenon. One being the almighty immortal. The other was a normal rough-looking student wear a short gakuran.

After Kengo and Yuuki entered the pathway, Gentarou excitedly entered the pathway following the two. Kengo and Yuuki arrived at high tech-looking room beyond the path. Just as he entered the room, he then jumped and floated around the room, showing the fact that the room had no gravitation to keep him on the ground. He then opened the door to a room with a lot of control panels and monitors inside. Yuuki followed him behind and entered the same room.

"Power Dizer can't match up with zodiart strength." He felt a sense of crisis and responsibility overwhelm him as he said with a serious face, "We need Fourze power."

"You can't, Kengo! Your body can't keep up with the burden!" yelled Yuuki stopping Kengo with worry on her face. She knew that his friend had a weak body and often hospitalize. The things that her friend trying to do would possibly kill him.

"There is no choice! Only Fourze can defeat zodiarts!" Kengo yelled as he pulled several switch-looking devices from the control panel. He then inserted the switches to a buckle-looking device nearby.

"ROCKET"

"LAUNCHER"

"DRILL"

"RADAR"

As he pulled the belt buckle device, he heard a scream across the room. "Wooaaaaahhhh! What the hell is going on?!"

"Gen-chan...?"

Shin arrived at the storeroom looking at the locker. He felt the remains of energy leakage as he got nearer the locker. "Hooooo.... so that's why I couldn't feel his presence around the school premise. Well, that is understandable. Who in their right mind would thought there was a pathway leading to the fricking moon!!"

He then decided to directly teleport to the surface of the moon. As he arrived at the moon's surface, he scanned the entire moon surface looking for the three high school students. After he found his target, he then zoomed toward the half-destroyed base on the other side of the moon. He almost crashed into an American astronaut's moon rover while he flew around the moon. Luckily he erased his presence, so the astronauts inside did not realize an object was moving at hyper-speed beside them. If not, there would be news of another alien sighting the next day.
