A crash in the forest echoes such that the trees can't mask it. It happened without precedent, no sound of air as if something was falling. It happened quickly, and the sound faded as such.

Allow me to show you this.

-He pulls a stack of paper out of his suit pocket and sets it down on the table-

-It's....blueprints-

-blueprints for three odd-looking jets-

It's the design for an older model, long-since made obsolete, but if properly-built it should have a perfectly stable and safe getter ray output, and should be more than suitable for combat.

It needs three pilots.


all i can hear right now is the ringing in my eeeeears

Lune and Rico could see dirt in the air — the crash wasn't far.

Well, on their own, they function as high-end fighter jets, with machine guns and on-board missiles.

Their true purpose, however, is to combine into a single super robot. The Getter Robo.


N-No kidding!!

-He shakily looks in the direction of the crash as well-

...W-...What is that?

The dirt begins to settle. But what kicked up that much dirt that they had no chance of hearing beforehand?

-He nods at Link-

So you're familiar with the concept, then.

-He looks back at Homura-

The Getter has three forms, depending on the configuration of the jets when combining, and piloted primarily by a single jet respectively, with the other two relegated mostly to controlling power output and internal systems.

I don't have drawings for the forms at the moment, so....use your imagination. The Getter-1 specializes in aerial and outer space combat, and is the most well-rounded of the three. The Getter-2 specializes in mobility and ground-based combat, but is lacking in defensive capabilities, and the Getter-3's speciality is underwater combat and defense, but lacks mobility. Easy to understand?


...Your what form?

...Wh- Hey, wait up!

Hmm...!

(It's just like the Divine Beasts themselves! But all in one.)

(Link inquires if, by some chance... he could pilot such a thing.)

Silence.

There is a caving in the ground. A crater.

Nothing in it.

(slows down for Rico) Let's just say it's the form I use when I want to be a superhero. (spots the crater) What is this?

-He looks at him, nodding-

I was actually eyeing you specifically for piloting, given your supposed experience in dealing with giant machines.

You need to be a special case to pilot the Getter, in fact. The process of combining essentially involves slamming three jets together at top speed. One minor error in handling or accuracy and every single pilot could be crushed to death.

Which is why I need people who are either inhuman...or insane.


Oh, dang, a superhero....

-He looks down at the crater-

...What caused this? Did a bomb go off?...

(He still looks a bit groggy from the caffeine crash, but other than that... he looks completely serious about this.)

Hmm...

(After a moment's thought, Link nods. Insane or not, he has a... certain quirk that can help with this Getter-ing.)

-Hayato nods at him, smiling-

Good man.

-He looks at Homura-

What about you? Piloting the Getter is an extreme undertaking, I'm not going to force you to attempt it. You can assist with the project in other ways.


Gck-

-He slooowly turns toward the source of the click-

Something stands a few feet away from her, in full armor. It was tall, taller than most — at least taller than most people Rico had ever seen. It held a rifle, but in both arms, folded in his chest, facing away from them.

"Relax. I wasn't pointing it at you."
