2 anime series and movies not to mention the type of action and story it is you figure it would have more of a following but that’s fare from the case.
Bill Wise, the man who voiced Richard Guyot in the dub of the 2005 anime, has passed away at 61.
RIP
- "Nah... nah... N-i-i-i-ce... You really... suck at this... don't you, Iv?.." - Zaz was barely catching breath after a frantic sprint through the jungle. Right now three hunters were standing at the precipices of the cliff - a dead end.
Hunter wearing blue four-armed armor kneeled at the edge of the cliff, cautiously looking down - few pebbles rolled off the edge never to be seen again. Almost a kilometer deep - way too high for a jump without glider. But that was their only way of escaping a stampede that was hot on their trail.
- "Sorry, was not enough time to properly navigate with all the commotion." - she replied, while focusing on the valley bellow.
- "Sorry?! We are in a death trap, arent we?!" - Dazy was frantically pacing around - "And we have what?..."
- "Around 20 seconds, till bugs catch up..." - Zaslava barged in, while scanning the jungle behind with her thermal vision. Gigapede horde was rapidly approaching.
- "Iv! Any bright ideas?! What should we do?!"
- "I am thinking."
For a few moments there was silence, interrupted only by subtile howling of the wind. But then the ground started shaking from the myriad of gigantic insect legs rushing towards the cliff.
- "Oh shit! We are going to die here, aren't we?!" - straight up panic was in Dazy's voice.
- "Don't worry, hon... I will not let them get to you that easy... you can count on that..." - Zaz assumed her usual fighting stance - preparing to strike whoever will show from behind the trees - "...but it will be a painful death for us all in the end..."
- "Not necessary." - Iv stood from her knees and walked towards her teammates, putting massive upper arms of her armor on their shoulders - "Trust me."
With a sudden motion she grabbed both of them and ran towards the cliff, plummeting into abyss, just as the massive wave of chitinous jaws and legs rolled out of the forest with ear-piercing shriek.
- "IV! WHAT THE FUCK?!" - Dazy was screaming at the top of her lungs. Wind roaring past her.
- "No need to shout, intercom is working just fine. Isolate the external noise if wind is too distracting." - Iv said calmly, as she was adjusting the trajectory of their descent to the valley bellow.
- "ARE YOU FUCKING INSANE?!"
- "D, honey... I kinda agree... dial it down, please..." - Zaz turned her head towards Iv, who was still hyper focused on the rapidly approaching ground - "...nice thinking by the way... this is a much nicer way to go..."
- "Zip it. We are not going to die here..."
- "Well that's a relief..."
- "...if I am right."
- "IF YOU ARE FUCKING RIGHT?"
- "Yes, Dazy, if I am fucking right and if you will stop with your hysterical screeching - we can all make it out in one piece! Now - hold on tight! Ignition in T-minus 10".
(Bonus extra crispy sugma :P)
- "Ten! Nine!..."
- "Are you going to use your pyrokinetic discharge thing?..." - Zaslava asked with slight concern in her voice.
- "Eight! What?! Yes! Seven!..."
- "Ok... You know that from what you told us..."
- "Six! Five!..."
- "...it can't dissipate heat well... and plasma channels run close to your actual legs..."
Iv stopped the countdown, and released a deep sigh - "Yeah... I know, Zaz. Thanks for reminding that it will suck. Now hold!"
Sho, Lisker, Valkyrie, Agio, they don't get to chose what from the Guyver gives them. They just take it as it is. A lot of fictional characters I've seen, they don't get to chose the form they transform into. And a lot of times, I never see them complaining about it. I understand it's the design that the writer wants, which is why there's no complains. But what about you? If you didn't get a form you like, would you just accept it or would you complain about it?
Sometimes you just have to trust that improvised "soft-fall" system will prevent you from turning into meat-paste inside your suit after mile long fall :p

- "Hurk!..." - her intimidating speech was cut abruptly, as her whole body was flung off the ground in one sudden motion. Zaz was now dangling in the air, as much bigger suit of armor held her by the neck. - "Hm?.." - she hummed, questioning current situation.
- "I told you to stop! We are here to protect those people, not to terrorize them!" - blue-armored hunter was seething with rage.
- "Put. Me. Down..."
- "I wll put you down, when I choose to! I am in charge of this mission!"
- "Oh are you?.."
- "I'll fuck you up! You creepy shit!" - Iv started to tighten her grasp on grey armor's neck. Underlying bio-carapace bulged in response to pressure.
- "Mmmhh!.." - moan of pleasure escaped through the speaker - "You are such a daddy's girl..."

Zaz's right palm slowly glided across the surface of the arm, that was trying to break her neck, till she also reached her neck, her body slowly wriggling as if Iv was holding a giant snake.
- "What the?.." - Iv was staring at her opponent in complete confusion.
- "Ahhh! Such a strong hold! Just like your dear father, same firm but gentle touch..."
- "My father wouldn't touch a skunk like you with somebody's else hand!" - she bended the arm, bringing Zaz's face closer to her own... only to see that armor's visors were locked in closed state, exhaust ports burning up with heat, mimicking elation of it's pilot.
- "Oh! Poor girl... Oh he would touch me everywhere!.. Haaaah..." - moans resumed, as Zaz began reaching into her nether regions with a clawed palm of her free hand...

Iv released her grasp and recoiled back in disgust.
- "Ughh! What the hell is wrong with you!"
Zaz fell on her back into field of grass, going completely limp. Her chest slightly shaking from a quiet giggle.
- "Is this funny to you?!"
- "Ah-ha-haaaa... yeah..."
- "What's so funny?!"
- "Ahhh... You are funny, little girl." - grey hunter was just obliviously drawing circles in the air with her right index finger.
- "You cree!.." - Iv stopped mid sentence. No - enough of this sharade, people are watching, must keep it together. She closed her eyes and made a deep breath.

- "Ah, don't you worry, baby girl..." - Zaz voice returned to usual calm demeanor. - "They saw enough" - she slowly pulled herself from the ground up in exaggerated graceful manner, like she was doing yet another seductive dance.
- "Oh yeah?! And they saw what? That I dropped your horny ass like a sack of shit!" - young hunter barked back.
- "That you are squeamish. And gullible..."
- "Oh for fuck sake..." - Iv rolled her eyes and turned around to walk towards the remaining part of expedition.
- "And naive..." - an empty coldness marked those words, as she dug her claws into bone ornaments on her armor's chest - "I will show you..."

With one swift motion Zaz pulled out two bone punching-knives - preserved in perfect condition by being connected to synthetic bloodstream of the armor. She jumped to her feet and dashed towards her target...
