The Enemy Revealed
Chapter 9: Full Power Unleashed

"Say bye-bye to your brain," Techno declared, giggling as he prepared to toss the Logic Bomb at Kerberos.

Kerberos growled. "I don't think so, Giggles." He roared and unleashed a fire blast that struck the Logic Bomb. The resulting explosion threw the hunchback to the ground.

Kerberos turned to his fellow Sun Guardian. "Spinel, snap out of it!" Spinel Sun shook his head rapidly. After he was done, his eyes were back to normal. "I say, what happened?"

Giggling loudly, Techno got up. "Vile Poison!" he shouted, firing dark energy from his fist.

The Vile Poison struck both Sun Guardians. "Huh?" Kerberos said as his limbs gave in.

"Losing...strength..." Spinel Sun muttered as he slumped to the ground.

"But of course! Why do you think it's called Vile Poison?" Techno told the Guardians, giggling insanely.

"Can't...move..." Kerberos managed to say, trying unsuccessfully to move his legs.

"My turn." Cracker reactivated his cannon arm and aimed for the Sun Guardians. "Devastator Cannon!" he bellowed, blasting the Guardians with a powerful energy beam. The resulting explosion threw them back, and they crashed to the ground.

"Kero-chan! Spinel-san!" Sakura cried upon spotting the Guardians in trouble. She barely avoided a swing from Hacker and made her own attack.

"Concentrate on your own battle, Cardmistress!" Hacker shouted, dodging Sakura's swing and missing again.

The two Masters marched up to their targets. Techno eyed the fallen Guardians. "Well, that was too easy," he commented with a giggle.

"Yeah," Cracker agreed.

Kerberos and Spinel Sun moaned. Techno and Cracker watched as they struggled to their feet. Kerberos raised his head and managed a small grin. "Gee, was that your best shot?" he taunted.

"Not really." Cracker aimed his cannon arm at the two Sun Guardians. "Let's see what happens when I blast you at close range," he sneered, charging his weapon.

"Did you really have to say something?" Spinel Sun grumbled, noting the large ball of energy forming on the end of Cracker's cannon arm.

"Relax," Kerberos whispered confidently, keeping his gaze on his enemies, especially Cracker. "He's taking too long, don't you think?"

"Hmmmmmm..." Spinel Sun nodded.

With a yell, Cracker unleashed another Devastator Cannon. "Bye bye," Techno said, giggling loudly as the powerful beam approached its targets.

"Jump!" Kerberos shouted to his fellow Sun Guardian, leaping into the air.

Spinel Sun leaped just as the Devastator Cannon hit its mark. The ground exploded below the Sun Guardians.

"What?" Cracker exclaimed in frustration.

Techno aimed his hammer upward. "Rocket Hammer!" he shouted, deploying missiles rapidly.

Kerberos and Spinel Sun dodged missile after missile. "You shouldn't have taken so long!" Kerberos shouted as he dodged the explosions around him.

Cracker snarled and targeted the Sun Guardians. "Cannonbomb!"

"So what's our next move?" Spinel Sun asked after ducking an exploding Cannonbomb and a few of Techno's rockets. "Considering the number of projectiles they're sending at us, it won't be long until they get lucky."

"On my mark, we charge 'em," Kerberos answered as he sidestepped some missiles.

"What?" Spinel Sun flew around some Cannonbombs.

"Well, we can't stay up here forever," Kerberos said as the air exploded around them.

"A valid point," Spinel Sun agreed, barely avoiding a Cannonbomb.

Techno and Cracker watched the Guardians avoid their projectiles. "They can't keep dodging us for long!" Cracker declared.

Techno giggled. "Sooner or later, we'll blow them out of the sky!"

"Now!" Kerberos flared up and flew at Cracker. Spinel Sun followed suit and went for Techno. Missiles exploded around them as they made their descent. They ignored the ones hitting them.

Kerberos rammed into Cracker, taking the giant down. Spinel Sun flew into Techno and knocked him down. "This is for what you did at our home," the dark Sun Guardian said as he leapt off.

Techno snarled as he picked himself up. Raising his hammer, he unleashed another Rocket Hammer attack. Spinel Sun flew over the missiles and hit Techno with an energy beam from his mouth. The hunchbacked Master staggered back, and Spinel Sun flew at him. Recovering, Techno raised his hammer and brought it down on Spinel's head. The Sun Guardian crashed to the ground.

Kerberos jumped off his enemy in time to avoid his large fist. "Too slow!" he mocked as he hovered over the gigantic Cyber.

"Eeeeeeergh!" Cracker fumed, leaping at Kerberos with his fist glowing. "Dynamite Punch!"

Cracker's fist met its target, and Kerberos was thrown back by the resulting explosion. He stopped himself before he could crash into nearby building. He growled at the laughing Cracker. "Okay, you hunk of junk, time for me to send you to the scrap heap!" he growled.

"Oh, I'm so scared, Guardian," Cracker said mockingly, wiggling his fingers in the air. He activated his cannon arm and aimed it at Kerberos. "Devastator Cannon!" he shouted, unleashing an energy beam.

Kerberos flew upward, and the Devastator Cannon destroyed a significant portion fo the building. Concrete and glass fragments flew away and fell to the ground.

"Huh?" Cracker looked around. "Where'd he go?"

The answer came in the form of Kerberos hitting him from behind. Thrown forward, Cracker recovered and took aim. "Cannonbomb!" he shouted, launching bomb after bomb at the winged lion.

Kerberos sped upward and positioned himself behind Cracker. Before the Master Cyber could react, Kerberos roared and unleashed a powerful blast of fire at him. The attack exploded on contact, sending Cracker crashing into a building.

Spinel Sun moaned and willed his limbs to pick him up. Techno giggled as the winged panther got to his feet slowly. "I'll finish you off now," he declared, making his hammer glow. Leaping into the air, he raised his weapon and shouted, "Power Pound!"

Now firmly on his feet, Spinel Sun focused all his energy. Before Techno could strike, the dark Sun Guardian roared and fired a gigantic blast at the Master Cyber.

"Wha...Aaaaaaagh!" The attack took Techno by surprise and sent him flying off at a high speed. The hunchback ended up crashing into the same building Cracker went into.

Kerberos joined Spinel Sun. "Well, scratch two losers," the golden-eyed Guardian remarked cockily.

"Hmmmmmm..." Spinel Sun eyed the building thoughtfully.

Sakura turned her attention from her opponent to the two Masters crashing into the building. "Yatta!" she shouted happily at the sight of Techno and Cracker being defeated. Hacker interrupted her moment of celebration with a sword swing, causing Sakura to step back.

"Celebrate only when victory is truly yours, Cardmistress!" Hacker warned her sternly.

"Release! Shot!" Sakura activated the Shot Card and fired at Hacker with her sword.

Hacker moved his beam sabers to block Sakura's shots. "Data Slash!" he shouted, sending an energy wave towards Sakura.

"Hoooeeeeeee!" Sakura leapt out of the way in time, and the Data Slash exploded on an abandoned car.

Hacker unleashed another Data Slash at the young Cardmistress. Unable to move out of the way or pull out a Sakura Card in time, Sakura did the only thing she could do on such short notice. Without an idea on what would happen, she swung her sword at the incoming projectile. The energy wave vaporized before her.

"Hoe?" Sakura blinked, holding her sword before her.

"Hmmmmmmmm..." Hacker studied the Cardmistress. "Well, your blade is tougher than it looks, Miss Kinomoto."

"I won't let you hurt any more people!" Sakura declared, keeping her sword in front of her.

"Then we must finish this battle quickly," Hacker replied. He rushed Sakura and swung at her. Sakura backed away and swung back. Hacker blocked the attack, and the two combatants exchanged more blows.

"Any last words before my pets take a little nibble?" Psycho asked his captive audience.

The Worms hissed and readied themselves to bite their victims. Keeping his glare on Psycho, Yue said, "Actually, we have something to show you."

"And what would that be?" Psycho asked with a sneer.

"This!" Ruby Moon spun around so quickly she formed a red tornado. Yue copied her, and Psycho found himself facing two tornadoes, one red and the other light blue. Soon, the two Worms flew out of the funnels and fell to the ground below.

"My babies!" Psycho growled and charged up his hands. "Joy Buzzer!" he said, firing into the tornadoes.

Upon entering the tornadoes, the Joy Buzzers dispersed. The light blue tornado charged at Psycho while the red one spun away. Fighting the pull, Psycho flew upward and looked into the wind funnel. Seeing Yue, he started forming an energy ball in his hand. "I see you! Psycho..."

The red tornado engulfed Psycho from behind and prevented him from attacking. "Aaaaaaaaaaa!" he screamed.

In the center of the storm, Ruby Moon eyed the evil clown spinning around her. "I see you!" she declared, stretching her arms out.

A few seconds later, thanks to two streams of crystal shards, Psycho flew out of the red tornado. Returning to normal, Yue fired at his enemy. Psycho stopped and ducked the blast. "Take this!" he shouted, firing giant sparks at Yue.

Yue dodged the sparks and returned fire with arrows. "Psycho Trick!" Psycho said, raising his hand. The arrows struck an energy barrier and broke into pieces.

Ruby Moon attacked from behind with crystal shards, throwing Psycho forward. Psycho's head spun to the back, his red eyes glaring at her. "Forgot about me?" she taunted.

Psycho raised a hand and made an Psycho Bomb form over it. "Fine. You first, then Bird Boy. Psycho...!"

A fist to the face from Yue knocked Psycho senseless. "You must pay attention better," Yue said. With a small smile, he kicked the Master towards Ruby Moon.

"One clown going down!" Ruby Moon grabbed Psycho and threw him downward. For good measure, she and Yue fired gusts of wind to hurry him along. They watched him crash loudly. Chunks of concrete flew upward briefly.

"We got him!" Ruby Moon shouted excitedly.

Yue looked grimly at where Psycho crashed. "We cannot be sure." He flew towards the spot. Ruby Moon sighed and followed him.

The two Moon Guardians hovered over the spot. "Hmmmmmmmmm," Yue sounded as he examined the area.

"Why so glum? We destroyed him," Ruby Moon said, smiling cheerfully.

Yue kept his gaze on the spot. "Did you watch the video my mistress' friend made?"

"Yeah," Ruby Moon acknowledged.

"Then you know you are wrong," Yue said sternly.

"Give the Long-Maned Eagle a prize!" someone declared from above.

Ruby Moon looked upward. "Nani?"

"Psycho Trick!"

Strings came at the two Moon Guardians and attached themselves to their limbs. Ruby Moon pulled her arm. "I can't break free!" she shouted, straining as she pulled. Near her, Yue also met failure in his struggle for freedom.

The two Moon Guardians heard Psycho's unique laughter, and the evil clown did not disappoint them. He appeared right above them. Gone was the clown attached to a hover pod. Psycho now had legs which ended in curved pointed shoes. The skull theme resonated in his chest and knees. The strings hung from his fingertips.

His face wearing a permanent grin, Psycho eyed his captives. "Now it's play time!" he declared, following up with another evil laugh.

"Uh, is it me, or is the building shaking?" Kerberos wondered.

"It's the latter," Spinel Sun replied.

The building before them shook violently. Below, Sakura and Hacker stopped fighting to watch.

"Hoe?" Sakura wondered.

Hacker shook his head. "Typical."

Two figures exploded out of the building. They rose slowly to meet the Sun Guardians. Kerberos and Spinel Sun heard loud, insane giggling.

"Nani?" Kerberos exclaimed.

Techno and Cracker hovered before them. Spinel Sun studied the two Cybers closely and found no sign of visible damage. "Oh dear..." he said.

"Missed us?" Cracker said.

Kerberos growled and readied himself to charge. "Okay, how about round two?"

Techno giggled. "Your funeral, kitty cat."

"Kerberos, don't do anything rash," Spinel Sun warned.

"Shall we introduce these Guardians to our...other selves?" Techno asked Cracker.

"Let's," Cracker answered, smashing his fist into his open palm.

"'Other selves'?" Sakura said, gulping.

"But of course," Hacker said. "All Master Cybers have secondary forms to use in combat."

"They do?" Sakura asked.

"They do," Hacker replied.

The Sun Guardians watched the two Masters closely. "Reformat!" Techno and Cracker shouted. They started to glow.

"Oh, great," Kerberos muttered. "They're like Psycho."

Spinel Sun watched the two Masters carefully. Techno got rounder and larger. His head shot out and stood out on an elongated neck. Spikes grew on his back, shouders, arms, knees, legs, and the tips of his feet. His hammer grew and changed from a round mallet to a large sledgehammer shape. Cracker grew taller and larger, and two cannons appeared on his shoulders. His arms gained three-barreled cannons, and the spikes on his head changed to one.

The transformation finished, and Sakura and the Sun Guardians beheld the two Masters' new forms. Techno was a monstrous turtle almost covered with spikes. His head bore an open mouth with four pointed teeth and a spike shooting out of each side. His hands became sharp claws. Cracker was a towering arsenal with his shoulder and arm cannons. Spinel Sun noted the two small cannons located on Cracker's belt.

Sakura's eyes widened at the transformed Masters. "Hooooeeeeeeeeeeeee..." she said worriedly.

Kerberos snarled. "Oh, is that supposed to impress us?" he snorted.

Techno let out a deep giggle. "Didn't you learn from last time, Guardian? Psycho would have killed you in his secondary form if the Cardmistress hadn't gotten lucky."

"I'm afraid he has a point," Spinel Sun said. "Don't underestimate them."

Kerberos glared at the two Masters. "All I see are two robots ready for recycling."

"And all I see is two magical constructs about to be permanently erased!" Cracker countered, raising his fist.

"We'll see about that!" Kerberos said through clenched teeth. He flew at the two Masters, ready to strike.

"Kero-chan, no!" Sakura cried.

Cracker would have grinned if he had a mouth. Panels on his shoulders opened. "Cannonbomb!" he shouted.

Missile launchers sprung out and deployed their contents rapidly at the charging Sun Guardian. Making contact, the missiles exploded and stunned Kerberos.

"Kerberos!" Spinel Sun flew in to aid his fellow Sun Guardian.

"Kero-chan!" Sakura cried.

Techno giggled as Spinel Sun approached. "I don't think so," he said, raising his hammer. "Rocket Hammer!"

A large missile shot out of the hammer and exploded on Spinel Sun. Techno's giggling became louder as the winged panther was flung away at an incredible speed.

"No!" Sakura cried.

Cracker laughed at the stunned Kerberos. His fist glowed brightly. "Dynamite Punch!" he said as he charged the golden-eyed Sun Guardian. The last thing Kerberos saw was a bright light rushing at him.

On the ground, Sakura saw a giant explosion engulf her friend. A second later, she saw him zooming out in the same direction as Spinel Sun.

Cracker watched as Kerberos flew away unconsciously. "Heh," he said before taking off after him. Techno giggled loudly as he followed his fellow Master Cyber.
