Shinobizerk

Shinobizerk is a Gaust found in the Strap Series, Gearlet Hunter and Gaust Shot. Shinobizerk is the current inheritor of the ‘Shinobi’ title. The Shinobi legacy has been held by many Gaust in the past, and Shinobizerk was the successor to receive it next. He is said to possess an ancient tome that is passed down within the Shinobi family, that contains secrets that would shake the Magnetic Spirit World. Shinobizerk appears to have had quite a dark past, but he joined the fight against the Gauss Imperial Legion after it’s emperor, Blackholdoran attacked Shinobizerk, trying to obtain the secrets within the tome. Shinobizerk has been hunted by the Legion ever since, and he continues to fight against them with GHC, hoping to finally restore peace. Shinobizerk’s ultimate move is Grand Kagami, a special technique that allows Shinobizerk to mimic his opponent’s moves and appearance and fool them using Ninpotsuki. This technique is how Shinobizerk has avoided capture for so long.

## Gaust Shot

Shinobizerk is a Memory Gaust in Memory Set 2. His Memory Story revolves around confronting his dark past which was hinted at in the Strap Series. Prior to his inheritance of the 'Shinobi' title, he fell in love with a Gaust known as Primarian, a beautiful coral dancer that lived in the southern sea. However during Blackholdoran's first raid against him, Primarian was kidnapped, and she eventually returned back to Earth, but she had changed, becoming a cruel queen of ice, and attacking Shinobizerk, bewildering him. She was somehow brainwashed and made into a loyal servant of the Gauss Imperial Legion. Shinobizerk could not bring himself to kill her, so he simply fled, bearing the pain and regret of not being able to protect her, and being too cowardly to put her out of her misery.

When Shinobizerk learns that Primarian is still alive after the defeat of Blackholdoran, he decides to see if she's still loyal to the Legion and if she is, to end this. He decides now is the time to ease his regrets. Shinobizerk sets off on his quest, and quickly encounters remnants of the Legion on his travels. He decides he needs to pick up the pace.

Upon his journey however, he eventually gets the feeling he is being followed, and indeed he is. He throws a shuriken at the sky and finds that a Gaust, Stealth Falco has been watching him. The ultimate in reconnaissance, he is impressed Shinobizerk noticed him, but that he cannot allow Shinobizerk to proceed any further. After a pitched battle, Shinobizerk emerges victorious, with Stealth Falco only mentioning that the Legend Gaust will soon belong to the Legion.

Realising he cannot falter now, as the Legion seems to be after something in the area as well as his knowledge, his mission becomes twofold. He eventually comes to Tasmania, and encounters the hulking beast Armagedda. A fearsome Gaust covered in weaponry, and obsessed with battle, he challenges Shinobizerk. Realising this Gaust is a major threat to the world, Shinobizerk accepts and defeats him. Armagedda infuriated that he lost, attempts to self destruct, but Shinobizerk's speed makes his attempt useless.

Finally coming to the southern sea, Shinobizerk dives to the depths and encounters Primarian. Shinobizerk prays that she has been freed, but she has something in her hand, one of the G-Parts of the Legend Gaust, Blizzard Kaiser. She laughs with an unsettling cackle, which tells Shinobizerk that she has not been freed. She taunts Shinobizerk, saying all the metal he's carrying is incredibly unattractive, and that he'd never get a mate that way. She reasserts her loyalty to the Legion and it's new leader Mugendoran.

Shinobizerk steels himself, and battles Primarian. He initially hesitates, but when he begins to lose, he knows he has to be serious. This is as much for her as it is for the world. Shinobizerk turns things up and defeats her. She finally falls silent, and her body disappears into the ocean. Shinobizerk is torn, but knows she is finally at peace, and the Legend Gaust is safe...
