Guyver Armor: KAP-2

Meina Mountain Base.

In the development center at the base's mid-level, Hamil Bakas was sitting at his desk, looking with great interest through the development data on the Zoanoids from the Japanese branch.

His gleaming scalp reflected the cold light of the screen as he muttered to himself, "Not bad, really not bad! I didn't expect that with the technical capabilities of your Japanese branch, you could produce quite a few interesting things."

The screen in front of me displays the performance data of the damaged experimental subject.

"The abilities of these two damaged test subjects are quite unique, making even this old man itching to test their skills."

Bakas licked his lips, turned to the researcher from the Japanese branch beside him, and ordered, "Alright, for the next few days, I will personally oversee the formulation experiments. I have many new formulation directions that need suitable test subjects for verification!"

"Furthermore, the potential of that batch of Insem II hasn't been fully realized yet. Send the rest here; I'm going to re-optimize their genetic sequences to make them true KAP killers!"

The researcher dared not utter a single objection and bowed in response, "Yes, Lord Bakas!"

Bakas then turned to look at the tall, imposing figure standing to the side: "Geo, the task of searching for the Kep armored man and that Beast God prototype is in your hands for the next few days."

"Yes!" Geo responded in a deep voice, his face seemingly calm, but a fleeting look of wild joy flashed across his face.

"That old geezer has finally handed over the authority to hunt down Kep!"

He screamed inwardly, his clenched fists hidden behind his back: "Unit-Kemp...you will definitely belong to me, Geo! Once I get Kep...hmph, these old bastards won't be a match for me!"

"By the way, I should also check on the research progress of Unit · Rimba in a couple of days."

Suppressing his inner thoughts, Geo turned to the communicator, his voice suddenly rising: "Send down the order! Send out beast-transformed soldiers to conduct a thorough search of the entire area along the route. Find them, even if you have to dig three feet into the ground!"

"Furthermore, notify surrounding towns and cities to report any unfamiliar faces immediately! I want to make sure they can't escape!"

As soon as the footsteps of Geo and his men disappeared at the end of the corridor, a metal door slowly slid open on the other side of the development center.

Five tall figures of different shapes walked out with perfectly synchronized steps.

They were dressed in pure black, form-fitting combat uniforms, and the oppressive aura emanating from them far surpassed that of ordinary elite beastmen.

This is the "Super Beast Soldier Five," a trump card of Kronos's combat power, which Hamil Bakas painstakingly crafted over several years and represents the pinnacle of the organization's biotechnology.

The five men walked up to Bakas and knelt down on one knee in unison, without making a sound.

Bakas slowly turned around, his gaze sweeping over the figures in front of him: "Jektor, Lazelb, Gasda... the five of you are the creations I have poured the most effort into, and the only forces here that I can completely trust."

"Listen up! Your mission." He paused, glancing in the direction Geo had gone.

"Keep a close watch on Geo's every move. If you discover any unusual behavior from him, or any trace of Kep and his group, report to me privately immediately."

"Yes, Lord Bakas!" the five responded in unison, then turned into five black shadows and disappeared silently behind the metal door.

Bakas stared at the re-closing metal door, his brow furrowing slowly. "Richard Geo," he said, "you mustn't disappoint Lord Akafiel's expectations, or else..."

At this moment, inside a coffee shop in N City.

Tsubasa Kamino picked up his coffee cup and took another sip of his warm latte to ease the weariness on his face—the series of chases during the day had really taken a toll on his energy.

"The Beast God General's thought wave is really troublesome," he muttered to himself. "Especially this kind of wide-area coverage wave. If we don't wipe out all the beast-like soldiers within the range, the pursuit will never end."

During the day, he fought and retreated, and after annihilating several more squads of beastmen that had come to the scene, he forcibly diverted Kronos's attention from the area around the shrine and headed straight for N City.

Near a secluded farm outside the city, after confirming that no one was around, he slowly removed his armor, revealing his battered body.

The wounds on his shoulder and side of his waist have not fully healed, and the specially made enzymes have affected the regenerative capacity of his progenitor cells.

He quickly straightened his clothes and mingled into the large crowd heading to the city for the summer temple fair, swaggering into the urban area. No one could connect this seemingly ordinary young man with the Captain 2 who had wreaked havoc in the mountains.

After leisurely finishing the last sip of his coffee, Tsubasa Kamino took out his wallet to pay the bill.

The moment the wallet was opened, an ID card came into view, with the words "Shimura Shinpachi" clearly printed on it, and the photo was of him wearing glasses.

"Right now, Kronos is definitely still searching all over the mountains and fields along the way."

He stuffed the change into his wallet, thinking to himself, "Just to be safe, I'll find a small hotel to rest for the night and see how things go tomorrow."

Having read the original work, Tsubasa Kanno naturally understood where he was.

N City, as the largest city surrounding the Minayama base, is also one of the areas most severely infiltrated by Kronos.

In this seemingly quiet and peaceful city, at least a third of the people have already been transformed into beastmen soldiers without their knowledge.

With just a thought wave command from the Beast God, these "ordinary people" lurking in the city would instantly transform into beasts, turning the entire city into a life-devouring hell in the blink of an eye.

Therefore, he dared not use his real identity and could only use a familiar name from his past life to forge documents.

After all, as Akira Fukamachi's homeroom teacher, the name "Tsubasa Kamino" must have already caught Kronos's eye.

The fact that this situation is happening here is practically an open declaration that something is wrong...

The next morning, just as dawn was breaking, Tsubasa Kanno got up and went out to observe the movements on the street.

He had only taken a few steps when he noticed something was clearly wrong; there were more "strangers" on the street than yesterday.

Several tall, well-built men in black suits were scattered around street corners and intersections, their eyes unconsciously glancing at passersby, especially young men.

On the glass of the newsstand, there was a brand-new missing person notice—with a clear photo of Masaki Murakami printed on it, and below it in large letters, it said, "A large reward will be given for information leading to your information."

"Kronos's eyes and ears are everywhere in the city, including at every intersection leading out of the city."

After walking around for a while, Tsubasa Kamino frowned, thinking to herself, "At this rate, sooner or later they'll investigate non-locals like me."

It seems we'll have to resort to some "extraordinary" measures.
