Guyver Armor: KAP-2

Five days after Lishke's defection.

2:00 AM GMT.

At the Ginza intersection in Tokyo, the dawn mist had not yet dissipated, and every street corner was already filled with commuters.

"...The current tax bill is unpopular. Should it be scrapped? I would like to ask the Prime Minister for his opinion..."

The sound came through, and on the huge electronic screen hanging high in the mall, the current Japanese prime minister was facing the camera, answering questions from the Diet on the latest tax policy.

"Um, regarding the government's position..."

The Prime Minister, dressed in a sharp black suit, responded solemnly to the members of parliament's questions:

"As an elected government, we will do our utmost to gain the support of the entire nation regarding this bill... We are actively working towards this goal..."

Suddenly, his words came to an abrupt halt.

"Aaaaaah, my body—roar!!"

On the screen, the Prime Minister suddenly let out a piercing scream, his neck veins bulging, and his entire face contorted in agony.

His body was hunched over, expanding wildly at a visible speed. His custom-made suit was torn apart inch by inch, and as the shreds flew, dark gray animal hair gushed out from under his skin like a tide.

Before everyone's eyes, the head of state, who had been speaking eloquently, suddenly transformed into a ferocious beast over two meters tall—

A Ramochus-type beastman!

At this moment, the prime minister had clearly lost his sense of self, with drool dripping from the corner of his mouth and his huge eyes gleaming with a bloodthirsty red light.

He abruptly swept the microphone away and lunged at the congressman on the other side, the sounds of tearing and screaming echoing across the nation through the screen.

"What... what's going on with this TV program?"

"Isn't this... a nationally televised broadcast of Congress?!"

As people watched the bloody scene on the screen, some whispered in confusion, while others held up cameras and took pictures of the screen.

But the next second, dozens of seemingly ordinary office workers and even police officers on duty around the street began to twist and mutate at the same time, turning into beast soldiers of various shapes!

The once orderly streets of Tokyo instantly turned into a chaotic hunting ground, with screams and cries rising and falling, transforming it into a living hell...

Tokyo, the capital of Japan, has fallen!

With this as a signal, Kronos' long-planned "Project X Day" was launched simultaneously worldwide.

Moscow's Red Square, Paris's Arc de Triomphe, London's Big Ben...

The capitals of major countries around the world are experiencing tragedies similar to those in Tokyo, and the civilized order that humanity has built up over many years is collapsing amidst the roars of the beastmen.

……

7:00 AM GMT.

In the North Pacific Ocean, the morning sun pierced through the clouds and shone on the metal hull of the aircraft carrier "George Washington".

On the deck of this Nimitz-class aircraft carrier, the most powerful active vessel in the U.S. Seventh Fleet, carrier-based aircraft are undergoing final checks before takeoff, with the deafening roar of their engines filling the air.

Unbeknownst to anyone, the seawater around the ship was quietly churning, and a black wave was approaching from the deep sea, like a moving shadow.

The next second, hundreds of "Kadan"-class naval combat-specific beastmen broke through the water's surface. Their streamlined bodies were covered with light blue scales, and the suction cups on their hands and feet firmly adhered to the hull, allowing them to easily climb aboard.

They swarmed onto the deck, their sharp claws tearing apart the bodies of the naval soldiers as easily as cutting through soft tofu.

"Fire! Return fire! You wretched monster, die!"

The soldiers were filled with shock and anger, and they picked up their rifles and started firing.

However, when 5.56mm rifle bullets hit Grubalan, who boarded the ship later, they only left shallow white marks before being deflected by his hard keratin layer.

The beast-like soldier, resembling an upright alligator snapping turtle, opened its massive jaws, unleashing a jet of icy blue gas—liquid nitrogen!

"ah--"

The American squad that was firing on the other side was instantly frozen into ice cubes, and when they fell to the ground, they shattered into pieces.

At the same time, other ships in the fleet were also attacked by Zoanoids!

Various types of naval combat-type beastmen swarmed onto the bridge, their high-pressure water jets piercing the tempered glass. The screams and blood splattering from the captain's cabin stained the control panel high above.

Several Nieyakos-type beastmen followed closely behind, their massive, deep-sea giant-like bodies bulging with muscles as they lifted a ten-ton armed helicopter with both hands and slammed it into the ammunition depot like a shot put.

"boom--!!"

The violent explosion created waves tens of meters high on the sea surface, and flames and thick smoke engulfed the amphibious landing ship, turning the seawater a dark red.

"What?! The flagship 'Blue Ridge' has been attacked simultaneously? 'Fortress Hill' has been sunk? Carrier-based aircraft, scramble immediately! Take off now!"

Chaos reigned in the command center of the USS George Washington.

"Blue Fox received! Prepare for launch!"

An F-18 carrier-based aircraft slowly began to taxi and take off along the runway. Suddenly, the metal deck directly in front of it bulged and broke open. The carrier-based aircraft could not avoid it and crashed into it, turning into a fireball with a "boom".

Several Ramochus and Kureg emerged from the hole and launched a fierce attack on the soldiers present.

Inside the lower deck, the Kronos soldiers who had been lying in wait among the US troops also transformed at this moment!

……

7:30 a.m. GMT.

The last message came: "The USS George Washington has sunk! The Seventh Fleet in the Pacific is annihilated!"

"What?! Our troops deployed around the world suffered heavy losses and major setbacks all at the same time?!"

Inside the White House Oval Office in Washington, D.C., the U.S. president sat pale-faced in his office chair, listening to a Pentagon intelligence briefing.

"Yes, Your Excellency. Based on current information, our nation has lost 50 to 60% of its globally deployed air, sea, and land forces..."

Furthermore, 60% of state military forces, police, FBI, and other units are no longer under government control.

"How could this happen... Is this how the glorious history of my United States is going to end?"

The president tugged at his crooked tie and roared, his voice filled with resentment and anger:

"What...what are these monsters? Where did they come from?...Where have they been hiding all these years?!"

"Your Excellency, you're so eager to know the truth, huh? Hehehe—"

A cold laugh suddenly rang out in front of him. The president looked up sharply and saw his most trusted aide slowly standing up, his figure growing taller and taller.

"Lieutenant! You, you..."

Antelope-like horns sprouted from the adjutant's head, and long gray fur quickly covered his entire body, transforming him into a Gobiruba, its scarlet eyes fixed intently on him:

"We've been living among you for a long time!"

The office door was flung open, and more Zoan soldiers poured in, casting a shadow of despair over the entire White House.
