Guyver Armor: KAP-2

"The rear powertrain is activating; the legacy is truly awakening!"

In the monitoring room, a researcher was shouting into the walkie-talkie, his voice distorted with excitement.

When the "true master" finally sat in the cockpit and completed the consciousness connection, the outer shell of the relic spaceship was no longer just trembling slightly, but had entered a state of violent resonance.

The entire base's lower levels were shaking, and rubble was falling from the ceiling. Even the development center in the center of the base felt the abnormal tremors.

The detection cables connected to the top of the ruins—those specially made cables used to monitor vital signs and energy fluctuations—were suddenly taut by the vibration, and the metal sheaths made a "creaking" sound as they were unable to bear the strain.

One of them suddenly broke off, twisting and falling with a blinding flash of electricity, crashing to the ground and scattering a string of sparks.

At the same time, specks of starlight began to appear on the outer shell of the relic—not reflected light, but the faint glow of the biological patterns on the surface of the spaceship illuminated by the infusion of energy.

Like stars in the night sky, they gradually lit up, spreading along a specific trajectory, eventually enveloping the entire site in a luminous giant cocoon.

In the Department of Relics Research, gazing at the glowing exterior of the relic, Yoshio Odagiri couldn't help but burst into tears.

"Mr. Kamino! Mr. Kamino!"

He abruptly raised his head, looking through the electronic screen into the control room of the ruins, his voice urgent and hoarse:

"Can you control it now? Is the current energy sufficient for takeoff? If the vibrations continue like this, we won't be able to hold on!"

Hearing the calls from the outside world, Tsubasa Kamino forcibly pulled his consciousness away from the flood of memories, and the sensors on his suit immediately fed back the status of the spaceship.

"Not yet."

He frowned, his tone grave: "The spaceship's energy system has been nearly depleted, operating at only minimal efficiency. To get this behemoth running again and reach the minimum energy requirement for takeoff, it will take at least another half hour to replenish it."

"Another half hour? We're going to be late!" Xiaotian Tong's face turned pale. He glanced back at the direction of the monitoring room, where the alarm was getting louder and louder.

"If this continues, the energy fluctuations will breach the research department's shielding range and be detected by the central monitoring room! Then the guards left behind by Kronos will immediately surround this place, and none of us will be able to escape!"

"Please calm it down and suppress the energy fluctuations!" He turned to the other side. "Hayami, send a message to the monitoring room, and at the same time replace the footage of the ruins with one saying that we are conducting an experiment to activate the ruins by transmitting energy, and that this vibration is a normal experimental phenomenon..."

"Okay, Director Xiaotian, I'll quiet it down right away..."

Just then, a sudden change occurred—the control device hovering in front of Tsubasa Kamino's forehead suddenly flashed with a blinding light and darted into the armor like a venomous snake!

"Ugh—!" Tsubasa Kamino cried out in pain, caught off guard.

The light cocoon enveloping the KEP-2 experienced a brief pause, and irregular ripples appeared on its surface.

He could clearly sense that the damaged control device could not withstand the high-intensity connection with the spaceship's main brain and had become unstable.

Subsequently, the light cocoon in the control room began to flicker irregularly, and the pale blue energy particles became agitated.

The light from the two metal spheres began to flicker, and the vibrations of the entire ruins intensified again, as if they were about to collapse at any moment.

"not good!"

He gritted his teeth, forcing himself to stay conscious. "The damage to the control system is beyond expectations; it can't maintain a stable connection with the spaceship for long! Spaceship, quickly repair the damage to the control metal!"

As the thought entered the biological brain consciousness of the relic center like a stone sinking into water, a dazzling silver light suddenly appeared in the void of the control room.

It was a droplet-shaped liquid metal, its entire body shimmering with a cold and pure luster.

It was extracted from the storage room in the lower area by the relics using spatial power, floated and stretched in mid-air, and then slowly descended, precisely covering the hideous crack in the metal control panel on the forehead.

Under the control of the spaceship's central nervous system, the liquid metal, as if possessing a life of its own, seeped into every crack and texture, filling the gaps in the metal structure.

A moment later, a layer of metal with a faint silver glow covered the crack, and the damaged area was reformed into a complete sphere, although a faint trace of splicing remained on the surface.

"It's a success... no, not entirely."

As Kanno Tsubasa focused his attention on the seemingly healed crack, he could vaguely sense a weak repulsion between the metal molecules.

This drop of memory metal, drawn from the spatial power of the remnant spaceship, ultimately failed to achieve perfect fusion with the sphere controlling the metal—

It's more like a temporary patch for a blown-out tire, barely "stitching up" the crack and preventing the risk of loss of control to some extent, but failing to fundamentally eliminate the damage.

If the control metal is hit again, this "patch" could become invalid at any time.

From the memories transmitted from the spaceship's central hub, Tsubasa Kamino understood why the repairs could not be completed.

All of this is determined by controlling the special material properties of metals:

The metal used to manufacture the control system and the entire control device is a memory metal alloy specially developed by the Descendants for the control core of the Guyver armor; it is a masterpiece.

In the "Unit·Kap" state, which is not bound to the consciousness of the colonist, the control metal has extremely high plasticity. It can adjust its shape at will, accept various compilation operations and information injections, but it is also relatively fragile because of this.

Once it deeply resonates with the wearer's consciousness and is fully activated, the entire control device, with the control metal at its core, will instantly take shape as one unit, its molecular structure completely locked, no longer undergoing any deformation, transforming into an indestructible shield.

Its sole purpose is to defend against all external damage and protect the consciousness data and biological information recorded by the colonists within the sphere from any harm.

This has led to Tsubasa Kamino's current predicament:

If the control device of "Unit·Kap" is damaged and not repaired, and the implant is activated and completed, the damage will also be integrated into the body, turning into an unhealable scar on the sphere!

Thus, Tsubasa Kamino reluctantly realized that there was only one possibility left to completely repair the control metal of the KAP-2:

It is necessary to rely on the power of "Unit Rimba" to actively and completely detach the armor of Kapp 2 from its own body and restore it to the form of "Unit Kapp".

Then, it is sent into the "unit" special biological storage tank in the cavity above the control room. Only by relying on the storage materials and precision repair of the legacy spacecraft can this perfect molecular-level repair and reconstruction be completed, and this out-of-control hidden danger be completely eradicated.
