Blazbuild Climax Fighters

by seanzilla115

The world has been devastated by the evils unleashed from Pandora's Box. A new hero arises from the damaged world. The Kamen Rider. Together with his friends they will rebuild the world!

1. Entry 1

SZ: Greetings everyone, and welcome to our latest project! I am Seanzilla115 and...and…*looks around*uh...Z0?

Z0: *door pops open with a loud microwave bing* AHA! That was a good experiment *two meatheads fall over twitching with electricity* Don't worry it's just Ryuga and Ragna. Anyway I am Kamen Rider ZER0.

SZ: And we'd like to introduce out latest crossover fic, Blazbuild! As you can tell by the title, it'll be a crossover between our latest Kamen Rider series, Kamen Rider Build, and the awesome 2D Anime fighting game series, Blazblue!

Z0: Why this combination, we found some similarities to the world and rolled with it. So this will be an interesting experiment, we tossed around several ways to do it too. But for now we kept everyone in their regular Adult ages and canonical settings. We will stick with that for now.

SZ: Hai, and we're so excited that we're finally working on this!

Z0: After all the first arc of Build has ended and we have begun entering the Second arc. So no time as good as now.

SZ: Yosh, but before we begin, disclaimer!

Disclaimer: We do not own either series used in this. Blazblue is owned by Arc System Works while Kamen Rider is owned by Shotaro Ishinomori and Toei.

Z0: And begin the story! *shoots the curtains*

"Many years ago…" a voice spoke as a rather grim scene began to play, "A nightmare was brought onto the world on that day...the day Pandora's Box was found." the voice added, "Our county was the first to land a successful mission on Mars, what they brought back was an artifact of that long dead planet. Now we know why…" the voice went on as a brief flash of an astronaut grabbing a stone box appeared, the box crumbled and flashed revealing a metallic box with intricate symbols all over it, "We named it Pandora's Box ironically when we brought it back, on the day that should have been one to celebrate…"

A scene of people dressed in their best for a public event of the greatest magnitude all stood about. A scientist dressed in aviation clothing spoke as he stood at a podium.

"With this discovery Humanity can now begin to expand its reach into the cosmos above." the man spoke as the people all clapped, "This artifact from a civilization on another planet is a great discovery that we are not alone!"

As he spoke, a man with his hat drawn all the way down suddenly rushed towards the stage. He pushed the scientist aside before making his way for Pandroa's box. Guards tried to stop the man who just forced his way through. His arm reached out as he knocked the glass casing over, as more and more guards held him back, he raised his hand and then smacked it down on the top of the box.

"It was at that moment the name of Pandora's box...became literal." the voice spoke as the box flashed and suddenly the ground began to crack and split as a red light came from the very earth itself. "A light came from the box a strong light one that unleashed...evil. All the Evil of their world...onto ours."

Suddenly large walls of stone rose from the ground and began to separate the very world itself into sections as the wall spread across the island nation of Japan...and across the globe itself.

"The Sky Wall tragedy. However...that was only the beginning of our nightmare...we would never forget what came out of Pandora's Box...the Black Beast." the voice spoke after a pause as the sky was becoming pitch black, blood red lines starting to go across it as red suns began to appear...however, they weren't suns...they were eyes belonging to a massive eight-headed dragon-like beast. The Beast seemed to come out of the wall as it's heads began to sway around and roar, "The Black Beast...as legend says Pandora's box was a forbidden object given to a woman named Pandora with the rule...never open it. For once opened...all the world's greatest evils and demons shall be unleashed. And believe me, even as young as I was...I remember it clearly."

The images faded to reveal present day. A man in his mid-thirties dressed in a dark grey uniform with a Green lining and matching Crest made of an X shaped Lotus Blossom with two Doves beneath it stamped on cuffs of his sleeves and his closed collar. The man had short slicked back black hair with a mustache and goatee combo of well groomed facial hair.

He looked out the window at the sky wall off in the distance. "After that...for a good few years the world was in turmoil. So...a group of individuals banded together. They killed the devil." he said simply, "But the world was still damaged, probably beyond repair, many sections of land in some sections are now inhospitable. But what damaged the world most was the Sky Wall, it put a wall between many areas...with Japan at the epicenter." he went on as he looked at a flag with his symbol on it.

"So...a new organization formed here at the epicenter to investigate, but we needed to take to each section as best we could, so 3 Prime Ministers were formed to lead each section. And so three different capitals emerged in each section. Hokuto to the North of the wall, which prioritizes Social Welfare. Seito to the great West which prioritizes economic stability." he listed as he looked at a map showing the new world map, Hokuto's symbol was a chrysanthemum, with the leaves stylized to resemble a pair of hands reaching out and giving the flower. Seito's symbol was a star with a grain of wheat looped around it.

"Odd isn't it, it took this massive tragedy to unite the world...at least into three parts. However...there was something...missing...ah yes. The Norvus Orbis Librarium, or NOL for short." he went on as soldiers saluted while standing at attention, "We needed more extraordinary folks to band together to form a police to protect the world. The three Prime Ministers run the three branches in their own ways, we have a big boss but no one talks about them." he went on, "So that's the history lesson. But it's still being made, here at Touto the capitol that promotes peace. We strive to unite out three sections together." he finished with a bow to a crowd, finishing his presentation of history. Many people clapped for him as he stepped down. As he did several reporters walked up to him.

This man was Gentoku Himuro, the son of Touto Prime Minister Taizan Himuro. His position was special advisor to the Prime Minister, and head of operations for the NOL Touto branch in his father's stead. A man with square rimmed glasses in the same uniform carrying a clipboard walked up to Gentoku as multiple reporters began swarming him.

"Himuro-sama, can you please comment on the current state of affairs between Touto and Hokuto?" a reporter asked.

"Things are progressing well. We are working to keep the borders safe and prevent anyone from risking to cross the dips in the Skywall around the ocean." he explained quickly.

"What is NOL doing about Ragna the Bloodedge?" one asked.

"Ah...we have our top security team on the case of that troublesome kid." he explained annoyed.

"One more question." a voice spoke up as Gentoku stopped, "What do you have to say about the Kamen Rider?"

"...Urban legend. No one has given me more then blurry photos and rumors." he spoke simply with a sigh, "Rather than focus on urban legends like the 7 mysteries from High School, why not ask our science team about our research into the Pandora's box?" he asked motioning to a window as a security team defended a large gold radiation containment box. Inside was a glowing Pandora's box.

"What of the unidentified life forms dubbed Smash?" the same female voice asked.

"A result of people living too close to the proximity of the Sky Wall where the Black Beast emerged from and exposed to pure and raw Seithr." Gentoku spoke, "We have captured and treated these Smash, those who can. Please they are still our fellow inhabitants of Earth, don't demonize these poor people Ma'am. Human or otherwise, I won't stand for such unfair treatment of my country's people." he spoke like an expert politician.

"Any and all further questions pertaining to the state of affairs can be answered with our head of security, and other high ranking operatives." the bespeckled man spoke up for Gentoku, "Please allow our own Jin Kisaragi and Tsubaki Yayoi answer any pertaining questions you have." he offered in a cold almost emotionless voice as many of the reporters in excitement scrambled off.

"Good. Let them deal with those vultures." Gentoku complained.

"Ugh...tell me about it," the bespectacled man groaned a bit, "Even still, I feel bad siccing those vultures on the Hero of Ikaruga and a member of the Imperator's Wings of Justice."

"Who better to handle the media then? Their spots aren't high in the overall food chain, but they are popular with the sheeple," Gentoku snorted.

"...True I suppose," the bespectacled man couldn't help but nod in agreement.

"Besides, I have better things to do then take the Old-Man's spot as a public talker." Gentoku added as he overlooked a public display with guards protecting the large golden radiation containment box, as the reporters cornered several members down there for interviews, "Hm…" he blinked as a man suddenly rushed up to the box in excitement.

"Ah! There it is!" the man spoke, he was easily in his early twenties with short black hair neatly combed down, he was dressed in an attire consisting of a long sleeved white/blue shirt, blue jeans, with mismatched high top sneakers, Red on the left foot and Blue on the right, a brown coat over his torso with a scarf wrapped around his neck. He peeked into the window to look at the glowing Pandora's box contained inside, "It really is Pandora's Box! Amazing! This unit is containing its energy, what material is this made of? Titanium, Aluminum, borium?" he spoke to himself as a bunch of his hair stood up as an ahoge, "Hey what material is this made of?" he asked a guard, before turning away not giving him time to answer, "What material is this?"

"...Who is he?" Gentoku demanded with a frown.

"Someone who came in asking for a job as a lab tech." the bespeckled man explained, "We gave him a test to see his level of intelligence. He got every single question right."

"That really difficult one?" Gentoku blinked interested, "Only one person has ever done that to date…" he mused, "That alone makes him smarter than most of our researchers."

"...Should we stick him in with Sector Seven's Kokonoe then?"

"..." Gentoku took a moment to consider that, a wicked smile spread across his face, "Appoint him her new Co-Head Researcher into Pandora's Box."

"You just want to get her back for last week don't you…?"

"Utsumi...don't start with me...she has this coming." Gentoku argued with his smile still there.

"...Fair enough, sir."

"Ha…" the eccentric genius asked as several guards carried him away from the box, "Wait! Wait! I work here, my name is Kiryu Sento!" he shouted as he was forced to sit down, "Ah…" he complained, "Why am I even doing this again?"

-flashback This morning 5:59 AM-

The sun began to rise over the capitol of Touto. It rose over a certain secluded section of town, bringing light to a cafe hidden in the back alleys of town. Cafe Nascita. However the light didn't reach the people inside, because everyone slept in the rooms below in the basement.

Below Sento snored slightly as he sat in a chair. Surrounding him where all sorts of model tracks, an alarm went off sending a metal ball bearing down a track as it went along all the paths before it landed on a cartoonishly large On switch, making a coffee maker come to life. A second track saw a separate ball bearing roll down it before it bumped into a large button turning on a toaster. The 'Ding' of the toaster snapped Sento awake as he fumbled in his seat. He groaned before looking at his breakfast, with a yawn he stood up grabbing the two pieces of toast and waiting for the coffee pot to fill.

Sento paused as he looked into a small mirror used for working on small wires and machines, his face drawn on with marker giving him glasses and a curly mustache. He took a few seconds to register what had happened. He took it surprisingly well, he then heard an even louder almost explosive Ding and soon after the shocked scream of another man being woken up by the loud sound.

"Wah! Why is that damn thing so loud?!" the man shouted as Sento poured his coffee as he walked out of the room where he found his roommate scrambling on the ground covered in his sheets he used to keep him warm.

The man tossed the sheet off as he stood up, he had spiky white hair, dressed in a black sleeveless shirt with his right arm being a black mechanical prosthetic, and matching black hakama pants. He raised his robotic arm up to his hair as he opened his eyes revealing they had heterochromia, with his left eye Red and his right eye Green.

"It's to make sure we all know my next project is done." Sento argued munching on his toast before he placed his breakfast down, "Speaking of which! Aha!" he laughed running up to a giant mechanical chamber as...a microwave, was built into the side, inside was altered into a vastly different usage. Inspire was a small bottle that fit inside the palm of his hand, it was white in color with the image of a Hedgehog embolized on it, "Harinezumi bottle, Sugei! This is my invention for you! Isn't that right my beloved innovation, that's right your the best." he smiled hugging the machine treating it like...a pet.

"...That's creepy," the white haired man sweatdropped a bit.

"Genius doesn't care for the mentality of the normies." he replied in a cocky tone, "But this is a nights work well done." he smiled tossing the bottle before shaking it, "All that's left is find a Best Match for it. Oh...time for the board."

"Oh come on not the board...that thing takes up to much room!" the white haired man complained.

"I'm getting the board!" Sento countered only for the white haired man to grab him and wrestle him in place keeping hm for going to the glass boards, "You...can't stop me Ragna!"

"Your too strong for a nerd!" the now named Ragna complained before they fell over to the ground.

The door of the machine opened as a short girl with long blonde hair walked out dressed in her sleep cloths. She yawned clutching a stuffed bunny character plushy. As she opened her green eyes, she was greeted by the sight of the two male occupants of this living space wrestling on the ground like over energetic siblings.

"You never put it away and I keep walking into it!" Ragna complained.

"Then stop erasing it, Baka!" Sento grunted trying to crawl away.

"Use the chalk ones then!" Ragna complained as he grabbed Sento's leg and dragged him away.

"No I hate the smell of chalk dust!" Sento grunted as he rolled away only to get tackled to the ground again.

"...Mou...it's too early for this…" the blonde whispered, "Bolverk…"

"Ah he's biting!" Ragna complained.

*BANG!*

Sento and Ragna tensed up in their scuffle, slowly turning to see the blonde staring at them, a pair of large guns in her hands.

"Please...it's too early for this you two…" she sighed as the guns disappeared.

"Sorry…" they both bowed in apology. Everyone then heard scrambled footsteps down the stairs as an older man entered the room.

He was dressed in a black shirt and pants with a brown apron over his torso, and a fedora on his head covering his black hair.

"What happened?! Who shot at my floor and your roof?" he demanded, "Do I need to evict Ragna and Sento?" he asked in rapid succession.

"Oi!" both men complained at that last bit.

"AH! Right under the sink too!" he shouted looking at the hole, "What did you two moochers do?" he looked at the two males, "Did you guys hurt Noel-chan? Did you spook her again?" he asked leaning in making them fall to the ground, "I love you boys but remember, you wreck my place and it's back on the streets with the two of you." he said in a tone that held no anger, just mirth...but was very much sincere in the threat.

"...He started it…" Ragna and Sento muttered.

"No excuses!" he stated, "Now hash this out. Do a Full house, come on...hug it out."

"What?!" they both shouted.

"Come on guys we all have to make this arrangement work. And Noel can't live in this mess of a home with two bickering lovers."

"THAT'S THE LINE!" they both shouted.

"Yeesh, touchy." he backed off.

"Man...what a cruel landlord." Sento complained getting up.

"I tell ya, he's a damn cheapskate." Ragna muttered.

"I'm cheap?" he asked flabbergasted, "Well….if that's how you boys feel." he spoke as he pulled out two papers, "Here...your tabs and rent bills." he explained making them blink as they unfolded them and their eyes bugged out of their heads, "It's time you guys stopped living off my good fortune, I'm willing to take in an amnesiac and fugitive out of the kindness of my heart. But hehe...you think I'm gonna seriously feed and cloths you for free too? No no...the reason I haven't billed you so far is cause of Noel-chan, and she works. You two...what do you do?"

"I study and work on new inventions," Sento answered.

"None of your business what I do, old man," Ragna snorted.

"Then….do you got cash?" he asked making them both scratch their heads awkwardly, "Uh-huh...the Mighty Ragna the Bloodedge...left speechless by his landlord. And Sento...he's Sento."

"Well what do you want us to do?" Ragna complained, "It's not like I can just go out and get a part time job."

"Part time...what do you have to do that keeps you from getting a full time job?" he countered, "But one of you can go out and get a job." he pointed to Sento.

"No...No!"

"Noel-chan, didn't you say you overheard that NOL is in need of a few more lab techs?" the elder man asked dusting his fedora hat, "Well...we have a genius with a lot of free time here…"

"No no no…!" Sento quickly shook his head.

"Oh! Th-that's a good idea, Oji-san," Noel smiled a bit at the idea, "I'll see what I can do."

"No no no no no!"

"Ano…" Noel tapped her cheek a bit in thought, "I think they're also studying Pandora's Box at the moment."

"N-wait, what?" he paused.

"And reel it in." the elder man smirked to Ragna who blinked realizing what he did.

"...God damn it…" Ragna facepalmed, 'Great...the most corrupt organization in the world has the most dangerous object in the world…'

"..." Sento slowly blinked before dashing out of the room in a blur.

"And this Lady and Ragna…"

"Oi!"

"Is why I have the title of...Master." the man chuckled putting his fedora back on.

"Isn't is also just a generic title for anyone who owns an establishment like a Cafe?" Ragna added.

"Just for that, you get first taste of today's new special brew." he smirked, "Noel helped me make it."

"...oh god…" Ragna gagged at that, his face already turning a bit green.

"You'll like it, Ragna-san. We made hotcakes with fresh syrup in the center," Noel smiled, "Oh! We even added a bit of powdered sugar for sweetness, and a bit of lime juice in the batter to add in a sour taste!"

"Come on Ragna...we all are eating together." the Master of the shop added as they all went up stairs.

"Maybe living in the streets isn't a bad thing entirely…" Ragna muttered as he followed up the spiral staircase leading to...a mini fridge door, 'Least then I don't have to eat their shitty cooking…'

"Well I guess it'll be just you and me stuck in here all day Ragna-kun." the Master smiled as Sento sat at a counter already dressed as he finished eating, "Enjoy it?" he asked.

"Hmm...try harder next time." he smiled bluntly, "Master the coffee was terrible. Noel, try tasting it once before finishing." he offered his honest criticism.

"Oh...hmph," Noel huffed a bit at that, "I make a rule to never taste my own meals."

"That's contracitdroy to the very rules of gastronomy." Sento argued with a smile, "But as I said, I'll eat anything you make till you learn how to make something really good. Otherwise Ragna will die."

"At least your good for something, your lack of taste is a survival power." Ragna muttered as he lifted a cushion of a chair and pulled out a twinkie.

"So how are you planning to get to work anyway Sento?" Master asked as he poured coffee.

"Don't worry I have something for that." Sento explained pulling a smart phone with a large piece on the back.

"Your gonna call in sick?" Master guessed.

"Call a taxi service?" Noel guessed.

"Order Pizza?" Ragna asked.

"Oh yes yes those are what I'll do...Moshi-moshi..." Sento spoke into the phone, "Get real this is my best invention ever." he stated before he pulled out another bottle only a golden yellow with a lion image to it. He shok and twisted the cap before he plugged it into a slot on the back of the phone.

It beeped to life before Sento tossed it into the air. Where it suddenly began growing larger and transforming folding open into a large bike. An offroad bike to be precise, it had a red cowl with a white Gear/S symbol on the side, the headlight had a large gear extending out of it, as the bottle he plugged in now formed the rear light and exhaust pipes of the bike.

"Oh!" Master gawked amazed at that as the other two just stared shocked at the fact that was even possible.

"...okay. How the actual fuck did he do that?" Ragna asked.

"Science." Sento smirked, "Creating a material that can grow and transform took a long time." he added, "But it's done, it's amazing, genius, wonderful!" he smiled, "Sadly with what supplies we have this is the best I could make. I was thinking of a boombox that turns into a car...but no one uses boomboxes anymore and a car is too big and complex. So...Smartphone Bike!"

"That's a stupid name!"

"I'm sorry. Who's the genius here?" Sento put a hand to his ear, "Besides, that's not its name. It's just what it is. Am I wrong...is it not a Smartphone bike, am I...the man with an IQ higher than this entire city wrong?"

"Grr…."

"Anyway, later!" he smirked as he pressed on a touch screen summoning a helmet.

"Ah Sento!" The Master of the Cafe spoke, "Your still inside…" he reminded.

"Oh yeah...so I am…" Sento muttered putting the helmet on as a black tinted visor slid over his eyes. "Oops...oh well good thing you told me before I ran the door down."

"Sento-san…" Noel sighed.

---

"Oh right...Rent money." Sento sighed to himself back in normal time, "Guess I'm not getting paid just for being smart yet after all….dang it...might as well get to work then." he sighed as he began to walk, "Let's see...Sector 7...that should be the research division of the NOL, right?" he muttered trying to remember what he was told. "...Would've been good if they told me where to go…"

Sento walked around looking from room to room. It got to be silly with how big the building was. Eventually after about twelve more rooms of nothing. Sento began bashing his head into a wall.

"Who...designs...a building...this stupidly?!" Sento complained, "It's too! DAMN! BIG!"

---

While all this was happening, something was happening in the lower levels of the city, even lower than one would like. A man huffed as he ran down the sewers in nothing but a pair of pants stained and tattered and a pair of throwaway sneakers. He stopped for a moment before turning around as he heard footsteps running after him. Humanoid figures clad in black military garb ran after him, only instead of normal human face they had large robotic heads with a single camera lense acting as their optic.

The man began running again before he found himself stuck at a large set of bars blocking the path. He growled shaking the bars with his hands. With a long rage filled growl, he reared his hand back as he punched the 'door' in the bars sending them flying off. The man began running again as the mechanical soldiers aimed and began shooting.

-line break-

"Ugh….where the hell is it?" Sento muttered, still walking around the halls of the NOL base.

"That new guy has been lost for what, an hour now?" a Guard noted as Sento made yet another loop around the lobby.

"He does know there's an elevator, right?" another guard noted.

"Shh...this is funny."

"Oh...should we tell him about the stairs then?"

"What are you nuts? Only a sadist would suggest that."

"Well...then this bit is probably gonna get sad eventually."

"When it does, we'll tell him?"

"Oh massively so."

"You know I can hear you two, right?" Sento spoke up.

"Shit shit shit!" the two guards freaked as they ran.

"Idiots…" Sento muttered, "Elevator…?" he remembered, reaching into his pocket before he blurred off with super speed.

"Does everyone they hire in this place have weird superpowers?" The Guard asked.

"Seriously, their lab techs have powers...why do we even have jobs here then?" his friend asked.

=Unknown= A Guardian Robot spoke walking past them.

---

"Found it!" Sento spoke as he found the door he was searching for, "Yes...I am a genius, I broke this broken building! Ha! Take that dumbass architects!" he then cleared his throat, about to reach for the handle before an iron door shot down before the door.

=Name and registration=

"What?" he blinked, "Sento Kiryu...new Lab tech...Greatest Genius in the world...maybe. Has been stuck in this garbage of architecture for over an hour now…"

=Oh...you're the new guy...and you have an ego…= the intercom noted before the iron door raised up =Fine. Come in and be proven wrong=

"Oh...this is gonna be fun." he smiled walking in before he paused mid step, "Oh god…" he paused as his ahoge rose up...followed by a second...and then a third, and so on till the back of his head was made up of a bunch of spikes like a lion's mane. Before him was a room filled with tech he could only dream to fit in his lab at home...if he removed certain roommates stuff to make room that is.

---

"Sento's thinking of throwing my stuff out again…" Ragna put down a newspaper with a groan.

---

"Hah….ah…" Sento muttered, looking around, "To quote the meathead...Happy pants feelings…"

"Easy there. Don't need you losing your shit over my equipment," a voice spoke up.

"Nice to meet you too, disembodied spectral voice." Sento muttered as he smoothed his hair back down, save for the one normal ahoge.

"Clever…" the voice deadpanned, "Ugh...out of coffee. Hey, new guy. Make me a cup."

"Excuse you?" Sento blinked, "You're giving me lowly intern work?"

"Well I'm certainly not making you my assistant if that's what you're looking for," the voice countered.

"Pfft...please...I'm probably smarter than all these other socially awkward kids and weirdos." Sento argued.

"Geez...I haven't heard someone that cocky in a long while," the voice snorted, "And most of the time, they're idiots."

"Says the woman who won't even reveal herself to me," Sento countered, "So how about this...you come out like a normal person. Then we work this out."

"What makes you so confident anyway?"

"The fact I got every answer on that stupid test right in...wait...I clocked myself, 2 minutes and 18 seconds." Sento pulled out his phone, "Oh...that that included the time it took me to yawn and flip the pages...so I should have finished sooner."

"...Bullshit. No way you finished it that fast," the voice frowned.

"Ask the Cyborg." Sento countered.

"Oh you call him that too…" She noted, "Hang on...Utsumi...the new guy didn't...he did?"

"Hm…" Sento smirked.

"I call bullshit...what...no...wait...what? You mean...he answered that one…" the voice whispered in slight disbelief, "...bullshit."

"So...where do I work?" Sento asked.

"...You want work, huh? ...Heh, fine. I'll give you some work," the voice replied, "There's rumors about people going missing and turning into monsters more recently, and it might be possibly related to Siethr. I need you and Lt. Nanaya to investigate the last sighting of someone turning into a monster."

"Wait...you're making me do...field work?" he blinked, "You sneaky-sneaky bitch...I walked right into that one."

"Hey. You were the one talking hot shit, mr. Ego. Let's see if you have the skills to back it up," the voice countered.

"Just you wait...I'll blow you away." Sento smirked, taking the challenge.

"We'll see, smart guy…" the voice smirked back.

---

"Hmm…." the coffee shop Master muttered to himself as he walked down to the lab carrying some supplies. "Ragna! You down here boy? I got food!" he called out, leaving a freshly delivered meatball sub on the table as he put down more materials on the workbench, reinforced metal, old rusty metal, old electronics and gadgets that looked like they came from the return bin of an old Radioshack. "How he turns these things into super weapons, I'll never understand!" he laughed, holding an old radio.

"I wouldn't touch that if I were you old man! He somehow rigged that to shoot soundwaves if anyone but him touched it!" Ragna's voice shouted.

"...Oh nonsense. Like a radio can produce…" he began before a sonic boom shot him back and into a wall, "Sugar Honey Iced Tea!" he screamed, "Oh god...Ragna...the ringing...the ringing is back!"

"See?! This is why I warn you to be careful when you go into Sento's workshop!"

"WHAT?!"

"Ugh…" Ragna groaned, walking down as he saw Master planking off the wall, "Does that guy make anything normal?" he complained before his computer began beeping, "He gets Email...he has friends?" Ragna blinked as a map appeared on screen, "Smash signature, Priority level 1."

"WHAT?!"

"Yeah yeah. I'll help you in a bit, Old Man." Ragna groaned as he grabbed the emergency smartphone Sento made, "Let's see...he said one of these apps sends this nonsense to his personal phone...Old Man...did...did you download dating site apps on this thing?"

"The ladies love...Isurugi." he smirked, reading Ragna's lips.

"...Ugh…" Ragna facepalmed at that, "Of course you would…"

---

"Alright...this should be the spot…" Sento muttered as he arrived in an empty area, "Now...where's this Lt. Nanaya?"

"Right here."

"OH GEEZ!" Sento yelped as he jumped back from a female figure in a black coat with a black fedora on top of her auburn colored hair, the tips of the bangs in front a white-color, "Who sneaks up on someone like that?!"

"You were so deep in thought on the walk up here, I thought I'd surprise yeah," the female figure grinned a bit, the...squirrel tail poking out the back swaying a bit?

"...Beastkin?" Sento blinked, noting the tail.

"Hai~" she winked, "Atashi wa Makoto Nanaya. Pleasure to work with ya, new guy."

"My name is Sento, Kiryu Sento." he introduced, "Just your run of the mill genius physicist." he explained pulling out his Smartphone before he picked an App that he used to scan the area.

"Soka…" Makoto noted as she began to look around a bit, "So...people disappearing and/or turning into monsters...pretty freaky, huh?"

"Freaky...yes. Impossible, no." Sento muttered as his phone showed a trail leading away from the area, "Whatever it was, it was oozing a special kind of radiation. Not lethal to normal people...but granted that doesn't make it any less dangerous."

"Ahh...hoo boy. Hope it's not that Arakune creature I've heard about," Makoto shuddered a bit, "...Then again, most of its sightings were in the sewer areas."

"Arakune?" Sento blinked.

"Don't know the full story, but from what i've heard...he...er...it's the result of what happens when you're REALLY infected with Siethr," Makoto explained.

"Soka...an Urban Legend." Sento spoke before his phone went off, "Stupid Roommate...what's so important they have to call now?"

=Hey Sento...how do you cure...uh...hearing loss?= Ragna asked in a hushed tone.

"...Someone set off my radio trap?"

=IS THAT SENTO!? TELL HIM I BOUGHT HIM THE PARTS FOR HIS DEATH RAY!=

=What was your first guess?=

"Ugh...okay look he's not deaf or anything, there's a first aid kit in the attic, it has the solution to clean his ears, and then just look for something in my don't touch box that look like earplugs...they are not earplugs...they will take care of the rest." Sento explained.

=Got it…oh by the way your computer went off...something about Smash signal detected…=

"I'll check it out later, I have work to do." Sento groaned, "Also...if you see something in my box that looks like a Twinkie...it's not a Twinkie. Okay bye!" he said hanging up.

"...Uh. What was THAT about?" Makoto blinked.

"I'm a Mad scientist in my free time and my roommates suffer for it." Sento explained bluntly.

"...Note to self: Do NOT let him meet Kajun…" Makoto muttered to herself.

"Hmm?"

"Nothing!" Makoto yelped, her tail shooting straight up for a moment, "Ahem! L..let's just hurry and find the missing guy or gal before anything happens."

"Hang on…" Sento spoke as he did something, "Taking into account the information I was given, the radiation signature...and...this." he held up his phone as it was tracking something, "Whatever is moving...will lead us to this missing person."

"Cool! Then let's get moving!" Makoto nodded before grabbing his arm.

"What are y-WOAH!" Sento yelped as she began to drag him at high speed, "Slow down!"

"Sorry! Got too much energy to burn!"

"GET ME OFF THIS CRAZY RIDE!"

---

"Utsumi...bring me the reports from Jin on the search for the escaped prisoner Banjyou Ryuga." Gentoku ordered, sitting in his large extravagant office.

"Got it sir," Utsumi nodded as he pulled out his phone, "It's me. Gentoku wants your report on the hunt for that escapee you've been tracking through the sewers…"

---

-"Tell him he broke to the surface." a man with blond hair and a blue military outfit spoke over the phone.

=What? But our plan was full proof...how could have gotten past the barricades?= Utsumi demanded.

The man looked at a set of bars that had been bent and broken beyond recognition. And another fence that had a clear imprint of a fist in it. It was an electric fence even...the fact this man could touch...let along punch and tear it down; was a beyond superhuman feat. This couldn't have been a regular man because of this feat.

"I believe the severity of the situation has gone up."

=Then we'll have to take this more seriously. Return to base we shall begin a full manhunt shortly=

"...I'll be there shortly. It could be possible it's the Grim Reaper's doing."

=If we're that lucky, we wouldn't have as much work= Utsumi sighed, =Return soon we shall call in reinforcements=

"Affirmative,," the man nodded, "Kisaragi out."

---

"AAAAAAND Stop!" Makoto exclaimed as she skidded to a halt, "Alrighty. This should be the spot, Sento."

"..."

"...Sento?" Makoto blinked as she looked over her shoulder, seeing the scientist was covered in dirt and bruises, "Oh…"

"You...you…" Sento groaned as he slowly stood up, "What is wrong with you, woman?!" he snapped, "Who...who drags people like a rag doll half way across town?! If you had waited for me to finish, you would have known...I have a motorcycle!"

"...Eh?" Makoto slowly blinked, "...Oops. Eh heh...guess I got too over energetic again…But hey. We arrived at the spot, right?"

"Ugh...this is why I work alone…" Sento muttered, "And...another thing!" he was about to begin before his phone went off, "What?!" he shouted into it.

=Yeesh! Don't snap at me man…=

"I'm having a long day...ever deal with a woman who's not only insanely strong but super fast and might be on a sugar high?" he groaned.

"I resemble that remark."

"Shut Up."

=You sound like your having fun=

"Your patronizing me aren't you?" Sento sighed.

=Not so fun now when it's one you is it?=

"Ugh...what do you want?"

=Wanted to warn you we traced that signal, and found it was following a stolen bike signal. The person in the middle of all this is an escaped felon Ryuga Banjou.=

"Oh joy...first a monster...then a missing person… and now an escaped criminal." Sento groaned, "Next you'll tell me mutant turtles live in the sewers."

=...What are you, high?=

"I have amnesia and even I understand the reference I made...what's your excuse?" Sento smirked.

=...Know what fine? I'll let the little surprise come to you then=

"What surpri-" Sento began before a growling sound was heard, "..."

"?!" Makoto tensed up a bit at the growl, her tail shooting straight up, "Uh...Sento? You heard that, right?"

"Yes...and my roommate...is gonna wake up with green skin tomorrow." Sento muttered under his breath, "That sound's owner however…"

The growl returned once more as something stomped into the area. Something...not-human. Standing before them was a 6 foot tall human shaped creature its body looked armored and it seemed to have grafted cybernetic armor. Its legs were black in color, while the top was all white its arm was covered in blades and its fingers tipped in sharp needle like claws. Its face was a long and cone shaped with large crests atop its head and shoulder pads making it look somewhat mechanical and vehicle like.

"...Well...that's not nightmare fuel at all…" Makoto whispered with wide eyes.

"Smash." Sento spoke as the monster seemed to sniff around, "Tunnel vision...it's head makes it rely on smell and hearing." he realized quickly studying the strange monster, "Sharp armor and claws, animal senses, thin body potential speed is high. Also...does it look more like a hedgehog or porcupine?"

"...Huh. Looks more like a hedgehog…" Makoto guessed before the Smash looked right at them, "...And it just spotted us."

"To be specific...you." Sento noted clapping his hands earning no response, "It seems to...like girls."

"Wait wh-?" Makoto began before the Smash attempted to grab her, "Woah! Watch the tail, buddy!"

"Be careful, its body can produce spikes." Sento noted as he saw sharp thin needles grow from its back after that attack. "Needles are more accurate given how small...They can't seem to extend farther then two feet, and only from its back and outward to the sides. Frontal attacks are the safest bet." he spoke before reaching into his pocket and to his escorts surprise he pulled out a gun with a wide barrel before aiming and shooting a shotgun like blast as the beast.

"You know that could've been helpful earli-" Makoto began before the Smash began to fire its spikes at her, causing her to tense before she jumped up, leaving her cloak behind as it was shredded by the spikes.

"Needed to do some anala-HOLY!" Sento exclaimed once he got a good look at Makoto's outfit once the cloak was gone. He took a moment as he shot the Smash, making it stumble and trip. He took a deep breath as he looked over at Makoto, "Question…"

"Hmm?" Makoto looked over, the Beastkin wearing a rather...revealing attire consisting of a orange and black fighter-top that revealed the bottom half of her impressive bust, an orange mini-skirt that slightly revealed her black thong, a pair of thigh-high black socks, orange and black shoes, and a pair of gloves.

"Why are you dressed like a sexy pole dancer while being a government agent!?" Sento exclaimed.

"It's my combat outfit. It helps me move around faster in case I need to fight," Makoto answered as she pulled out a pair of cross-shaped tonfa.

"Yeah and I swim better in shorts but you don't see me walking around in them all day!" he went on as he aimed at the Smash shooting it as it tried getting back up.

"Why do you think I wear the cloak?" Makoto retorted.

"I...point Squirrel girl…"

"Heh…" Makoto smirked at that as she cracked her knuckles a bit, "But enough arguing. Let's send quill boy here packin'."

"Remember to aim for his central torso, his arms have restricted movement, meaning you have a 5 second window in between his swings." Sento explained.

"That's all? Heh...easy," Makoto smirked before rushing forward, almost becoming a blur in a way.

Before the Smash could retaliate, it groaned out in pain as Makoto's fist was buried deep into its gut, the creature screaming as it was sent flying into a nearby empty building, a slightly large imprint of her fist on the wall of the building before it crumbled down. The Smash roared as the needles grew from his back keeping any debris from falling on him.

"...Huh. Stronger than it looks," Makoto noted as she flexed her hand a bit, "And I wasn't even going all out with that punch...then again if I did, that Smash thing would be on the moon...or a moon-sized meteor. Take your pick."

The Smash roared as he rolled forward, sending the debris on his back flying as a makeshift long range attack. Makoto dodged each barrage of concrete and plaster. The Smash charged forward with his arm reared back the blades on it growing. The Smash swun only to hit nothing, he looked down only to get struck in the stomach again sending him flying up. Makoto jumped after it before grabbing it by the arm and tossing it backfirst onto the ground. The Smash groaned in pain only to be slammed by a second punch making the crater larger. Makoto quickly jumped back as the Smash used its needles to pushed itself up. It was learning how to use its powers more effectively with each moment it was forced to fight.

The Smash landed on its feet before it reached back and broke off several long needles and held them between its fingers. The monster growled as it began tossing the needles deciding to keep to long range.

"Woah!" Makoto yelped as she jumped and ducked under each needle thrown at her, "It's starting to adapt?!"

"Only slightly." Sento spoke as he reached into his pocket. He held a red bottle in his hand before shaking it. He suddenly blurred off leaving a red trail as he moved around the makeshift battlefield. He skid to a stop as he aimed at the monsters back and fired several shotgun bursts of energy bullets distracting it, "Oi Spike, here boy, here boy." he taunted it, "Who's a good mutant Erinaceinae!?" he taunted, using the scientific name for Hedgehog.

"...Is he secretly a Rabbit Beastkin?" Makoto whispered to herself as she watched.

"This way stupid!" Sento taunted it into an old abandoned building.

The Smash followed after him, doing as its namesake and smashing through a wall. Makoto followed through as the two had already climbed to a higher floor. She was about to follow until she heard a strange sound and flash of red and blue light.

=HAGANE NO MOONSAULT!=

A figure was seen jumping over a hole in the ceiling as the Smash chased it. Suddenly the ground collapsed as an armored figure stomped the beast down. He...yes he, it was a he as his body was build broad, like that of a normal man. His posture, his stance, his shape and the way he moved. His body was for sure male in spite of the indiscriminate armor covering his body. His heterochromatic eyes shone red and blue. He swung his arm causing a gust of wind that blew the dust obscuring him away.

The figure was covered in a black bodysuit with diagonal pinstripes in the leather like fabric. His body was covered in mismatched armor. A chest plate decorated his torso looking like two halves of armor stacked together. Diagonally downward from his right shoulder, three stripes of red began as it stretched to reach the left shoulder under his collar, a rabbit ear like blade pointing from the armor, two segments of blue went next as an antenna parallel to the rabbit ear, a fourth stripe of red and a shorter stripe of blue ended the last bit of the chest armor. His right arm was pure red even the suit, with a small rounded shoulder pad, a strap of armor around his upper arm, and an armored gauntlet which was segmented into black near his wrist before going to his armored red right glove. His left arm was all blue and had the exact same armor pattern.

His waist had a yellow belt tied around it with a large buckle that looked like an incomplete machine, a crank on the right side, with a gear glowing with color connecting to gears and machines along the bottom, two bottles one red the other blue glowing in the belt. The sides of his waist had color armor as well, blue on the right red on the left...opposite the arms. His legs had two overlapping straps of armor around his thighs, all matching in color, blue on the right and red on the left. Black angular rectangle plates acted as knee guards as his legs were covered in color matching greaves, his right leg was black with two blue rings near the top, his boot was pure blue with a tank tread pattern across the top and going under his foot, his left leg was red with a red ring starting the armor with a white spiral going across the black of the leg, giving the image of a spring, his boot was red and segmented to resemble the foot of a rabbit.

The figure had his head covered in a black helmet with his mask glowing red and blue. The mask was made of the same mismatched pattern of diagonal red and blue as the rest of his armor. The entire right side of his mask was blue and the left ws red. The blue took a majority of the top of his mask and helmet as the red tooker most of the bottom, giving a yin and yang image. His eyes were large and compound and match the placement of colors. His right eye was bright blue and shaped like a tank pointed up so its gun acted as an antenna. His left eye as bright brilliant red and shaped like the head of a rabbit even down to markings making eyes a nose and mouth, with its long ear acting as a bladed antenna.

=RABBIT TANK! YEAH~!=

The robotic but clearly manly voice from before finished its chant as the figure stood there. The Smash shot up only for the figure to swing his leg and slam his red left leg into its face sending it stumbling back. The figure shouted as the spring on his leg actually tightened as he spun around, in a full 360, his leg scraped across the ground before the spring released a red shockwave making his left leg shoot around for a second roundhouse that nailed the monster a second time sending it stumbling back and spinning this time. The man used the force of his kick to swing his body around as he swung a reverse kick with his right, the tank tread beginning to spin as the kick landed and the spinning tread began grinding to its organic armor making sparks fly. The kick left a large filed down gash in the armor as the monster groaned and stumbled back. The man swung his left arm up as his fist began to glow, the punch hit the beast in the chest as he carried the force through until an explosion sent it flying through the roof and several floors above.

"...Wow…" Makoto whispered with wide eyes.

The figure looked up as the Smash began falling down. He reached for his belt and began turning the crank causing the gears to turn and a charging noise to come from it as the bottles shook like pistons.

=VOLETCH FINISH!=

"Ha!" he shouted jumping up as the Smash fell down. His foot left a red shockwave and the imprint of a rabbits foot as he curled forward before aiming his blue leg and striking the monster mid air with a kick. After a moment a large explosion rocked the building as the Smash fell to the ground burning in green toxic flames.

"Holy…!" Makoto gawked as the figure landed, 'Okay...someone didn't skip leg day, because damn!'

"Hm…" the figure hummed in interest pulling out a clear empty bottle before aiming it as it sucked up the fire and the armor of the monster leaving a person in its place. "This better not turn into another repeat bottle." he said twisting the top as the bottle was now engorged with a net pattern along the sides and a glowing blue essence inside, "Yes. New sample!"

"?!" Makoto's eyes widened at what she just saw, "He...he changed him back to normal...wait…" she pulled out a scroll from her tail and looked at it, "...It's one of the missing people...how'd he turn into that thing?! There's not even an ounce of Seithr in this area!"

"Not exactly normal Seithr." the figure spoke shaking the bottle, "But a highly concentrated gas version." he went on in a very familiar voice, "Its effect are near instant, unless your not strong, in that case it's more toxic than cyanide and snake neurotoxin mixed together and irradiated."

"...Wait…." Makoto muttered as she walked up to him, leaning close as she got a look at him, "...Sento?"

"Another genius physicists around here? I don't see any annoying mystery woman talking shit to me." he joked shaking the bottle more, "I have to give you credit. You're stronger than a normal Smash for certain. Any other person would have been in trouble. It's a very interesting case, makes my want to study you up close."

"..." Makoto said nothing as she sniffed him a bit, "...Yeah. That's definitely you, Sento."

"I've literally done everything but turn off my armor." he chuckled, "Guess I'm not that good at the secret identity thing am I? But do me a favor don't tell anyone, last thing I need is to be made public. I don't need that level of attention."

"...deal," Makoto nodded, "And as for how I could tell it was you….you smell like you haven't showered...in weeks."

"Hm…? Here I thought that smell nullifier worked. Gonna have to rework that." he replied as he slotted the bottle on the clip on his left. He then pulled the two bottles out of his belt before twisting the handle activating the shut down procedure for his suit.

"...Okay serious question though, how did you transform into that Rabbit Tank armor?" Makoto asked.

"Belt...Bottles…" he said holding his two bottles up, "These each hold half an armor set, put two into the belt and it combines them into one suit. One alone however can imbue you with fitting superpowers." he smirked shaking rabbit as he blurred around the room making a tornado of dust, "Two together offers best power especially if they match." he said slotting them both back in.

=RABBIT TANK! BEST MATCH!=

"Why am I telling you all this...its simple. I need eyes and ears." Sento smiled.

"You have my full attention, so henshin alr-" Makoto began before her ears twitched, "Ara?"

"Sorry but I'll have to save that spectacle for later." Sento said taking out his phone, "I was hoping I was right but the NOL forces have forced something towards this area. Whoever sent that thing knew the same," he motioned to the person, "We've walked in on someones trap. It's time to steal their prize." he went on taking his belt off and storing it in a hidden pocket inside his coat. The bottles he hid in secret holders in his sleeves.

"Trap?" Makoto blinked before tensing at the NOL, "Oh shoot! If they see me...I'll go look for our mystery person. You...do what you need to do to keep them off our tail."

"Sorry I have something else to get done." Sento said loading a lion bottle into his phone before he tossed it transforming it into motorcycle mode.

"...okay first off that's cool. Second...how?!" Makoto exclaimed.

"Trade secret," Sento smirked putting his helmet on as a visor covered his face, "Now...I have an escaped convict to kidnap."

"Wait. What escaped onc-hey!" Makoto snapped as Sento boarded his bike, "Oh no you don't!"

"Ja…" Sento began before Makoto jumped on and grabbed onto him.

"?!" Sento tensed up, feeling a certain something of Makoto's pressing onto his back, his hand slipping as the bike shot down the road carrying them both off at high speeds, the engine roaring like an actual lion.

"Ah!" they both cried shocked by the max speed of the machine.

"WOAH!" Makoto shouted as she held on tighter.

"Oof! Too strong…" Sento grunted his eyes widening from pain behind his visor, "Loosen...up...I can't steer.." he grunted.

"Oh...sorry…" Makoto muttered as she loosened the grip.

"Oh sweety oxygen…" Sento gasped as he corrected the bike and slowed down, "On the upside, we caught up with his signal." he motioned to the monitor that took the place of speedometers, showing a signal about to turn onto their path.

"Looks like he's heading to a dead end," Makoto noted, looking over his shoulder.

"Trust me...he's not getting away." Sento said taking out his gun from before as the person in question drove past them, Sento aimed to the left before pulling the trigger, the energy bullet hit a bunch of barrels causing them to explode and block the persons path, causing him to fly off his bike as he tried to stop, "And that is how its done."

"...Huh. impressive," Makoto smirked a bit, "Though I would've hopped off and tackled him from the bike."

"That's stupid and unsafe...oh wait...I forgot who I was talking too …." he paused.

"Wh-hey!" Makoto snapped.

"Am I at all wrong to think you would be crazy enough to do that?" he argued, skidding to an actual professional stop. The man groaned getting up as he took off his helmet. He was wearing nothing but a pair of jeans from a prison uniform with a dirty shirt covering his chest, his long reddish hair covering his ears, he probably was about the same age as the two arguing people as well.

"...Fair," Makoto shrugged a bit.

"Besides...we got a murderer to catch." Sento smirked dismounting.

The man groaned standing up as he heard that, "I didn't kill anyone!" he snapped at them.

"Oh really…?" Makoto asked as she leaned in, pulling out a wanted poster of the man from her tail, "Hmm...Ryuga. Says here you have a high bounty...and most of the people you killed were members of the NOL."

"I...didn't kill anyone...when I got there they was already dead…" Ryuga growled.

"Eh?" Makoto blinked, "...Uh...please explain, because unless you have solid evidence, you're gonna be facing hard time."

"I'm innocent! Those NOL bastards set me up!" Ryuga snapped.

"That's like the oldest line in the books. Like...pre-Sky Wall old." Sento spoke with a slight smirk.

"Try telling that to those who survived the Ikaruga Civil War," Ryuga frowned, "But seriously, I was set up by those self righteous assholes!"

"You can say that all you want but you got little to no proof." Sento pointed out.

"That's why I can't afford to get caught by a pair is mismatched wannabe bounty hunters…" he growled, "I'm not going back there...I have someone waiting for me. I'm leaving here to prove I was set up. If you wanna stop me, I dare you to try!"

"...Hmm…" Sento muttered as Makoto intensely looked at Ryuga.

"...I believe him."

"Eh?" Sento blinked as he looked at the Beastkin.

"The look in his eyes...I can tell he's telling the truth," Makoto answered before whispering to him, "Besides, between you and me, there's a LOT of fishy things going on lately in the NOL."

"Hm...that's fair. But I still need to catch him. He has odd abilities. And his escape from prison is strange." Sento explained.

"Screw you guys...those guys will catch me again if I don't get out of here." Ryuga shuddered at a memory.

"Those guys?" Sento blinked.

"You wouldn't believe me anyway!" Ryuga spoke as he charged at them and swung a punch.

Sento being the one it was aimed at ducked under it before he swung around to punch back. Ryuga however blocked each and every attack thrown at him. He blocked each punch and even kicked away any kicks Sento tried. Ryuga took advantage of his surprise to slam his shoulder into his chest knocking the scientist away. Sento raised his arms to block another punch as he was pushed away from his bike and separating him and Makoto.

"As expected of a former pro martial artist." Sento groaned rubbing his chest.

"Grr…." Ryuga growled before looking at Makoto, "You want some too, squirrel girl?"

"Please...I'm not even a well trained fighter, and I'm more than enough for you." Sento spoke up getting his attention "See, I'm a little different then the brainy guys you undoubtedly picked on in school." he said shaking his rabbit bottle.

Ryuga blinked as Sento ducked around him and appeared right behind him. Ryuga turned around only to get kicked across the face, the force of his leg enough to send him staggering to the ground. His head shaking from the new force behind it.

"Oh and FYI, I wouldn't try taking on 'squirrel girl' here," Sento warned, "Unlike me, she actually can fight. Also she's kinda scary strong, said strength almost snapping my spine in two." he complained and complemented at the same time.

"Sorry. Bike was going so fast and stuff…" Makoto laughed sheepishly.

"That strength…" Ryuga grunted, "Did those gas mask guys do something to you too?" he asked, "Or are you with them?"

"Gas Mask?" Sento blinked interested and worried.

"Don't play dumb with me asshole! I'm talking about those guys who did experiments on me!" Ryuga snapped grabbing Sento by his jacket.

"Gas Masks….Human Experimentation? What are you talking about?" Sento asked confused.

"You know what I'm talking about! Those freaks who kidnapped me and treated me like a fucking labrat! Injecting me with all sorts of weird stuff...making me into some kind of freak!" he shouted pushing Sento back, he took a moment,

"In Jail...some bald guy snuck up on me and-"

---

-flashback-

Ryuga in a blue prison uniform finished his time of labor. He and several other inmates began leaving back for their cells. A bald middle aged guard walking forward and up behind Ryuga. He pulled a hidden syringe and jabbed it into the back of his neck shooting him up with a drug. Ryuga snapped around in a fighting pose...but it was too late. His body stopped listening to his brain. His arms, his legs his entire body felt sleepy and he lost his ability to stay awake.

Ryuga's eyes snapped open, he was in some kind of glass...coffin. His arms and legs shackled with needles poking into his body in certain points. He gasped trying to get up only for a gloved hand to grab his head and slam it back down. He looked up to see people in gas masks and hazmat suits all around him...studying him.

"Let me go!" Ryuga panicked as the hands strapped some kind of mask to his face. The mask took his ability to speak by pushing his jaw shut.

Ryuga shook to get free as he heard more prisoners from his cell block beginning to scream for freedom. But the scientist ignored them in favor of pulling a lever of some type. The needles poked into his skin as gas filled his mask and the entire pod. The water around him began glowing as he felt...a burning in his body. It spread all over and it hurt more and more as more of this mystery substance was pumped into his body. It was the worst pain he'd ever felt. The moment he felt the burn through his entire being...something...snapped.

Ryuga shook his arms until to the shock of those observing he snapped the restraints off, the solid metal cracking as the young man shot up. He punched the glass top off as he escaped. Ryuga began attacking all the observers, hitting them and tossing them into their own equipment as he roared and screamed like some kind of monster.

-end flashback-

---

"...And this happened...in the NOL?" Makoto whispered with wide eyes.

"If that's true...then...was there someone else there?" Sento asked rushing up to Ryuga, "There was a bat man right? A guy dressed all in black with a bat motif to his clothes?"

"Ie….but..there was a man in a mask…and a long cape..."

"Mask...long cape…" Makoto whispered before it dawned on her, "...Relius Clover."

"But...no Bat guy…" Sento spoke looking disappointed, "...Wait...Relius...CLOVER?! But...he's...he's supposed to be dead!"

"Who that?" Ryuga asked having calmed down some now that he got it all out of his system.

"One of the biggest men in scientific h-"

"Freeze!"

"Saiyakuda…" Sento cried in annoyance.

"Hoo boy…" Makoto whispered as she quickly jumped into the shadows.

"Don't shoot! We're just a genius and a hobo!" Sento quickly turned around with his hands up.

"Yeah what he said!" Ryuga agreed before blinking, "...Wait. I'm no hobo!"

"Silence!" a NOL soldier shouted as they all aimed their blasters at them, "Major Kisaragi, we've apprehended the wanted criminal, Ryuga."

"Baka...you couldn't just pretend to be a hobo for a little bit?" Sento growled under his breath.

"Well excuse me for defending myself!" Ryuga hissed back

"Maybe if you had a brain you wouldn't be in this much trouble!" Sento countered.

"Hey I said Silence!"

"Oh shut up you overpaid gun toting bully!" Sento snapped at them, "Those robots do more than half your work while you sit around doing zip."

"Oh!" Ryuga awed at that comeback.

"Silence…" a voice spoke, causing the troops to tense as they parted ways, letting Jin walk past them, "...Hmph."

"Oh...look...someone who actually does stuff." Sento replied simply.

"You're gonna get me killed!" Ryuga cried.

"I'm just saying. Someone who actually does work is at least respectable." Sento argued.

"...You were very unlikable as a kid, weren't you?"

"Beats me...I don't even remember who I am," Sento argued.

"Grr…"

"Ooh...hit something I shouldn't have…" Ryuga cringed.

"Uh..sir? Should w-" an NOL soldier began before Jin shot him a literal cold icy glare, "Gh! N...nevermind…"

Everyone then blinked as they heard a ringing from Sento's pocket. Sento himself slowly reached for his phone as he hit a button making it stop.

"Sorry...Monster tracker app." he explained putting it away, "On a related note...Duck-n-cover!" he ordered as a car flew over their heads.

"...Grr…" Jin growled, his eye twitching further as the area began to grow colder and colder.

"Uh...what was th-" Ryuga began.

"Smash." Sento spoke as he looked up to see the new monster.

Its body was big and bulky long gorilla like arms ending in permanently closed fists. Its torso looked like a giant hand clutching a rock, each finger of sorts on the torso had a different set of eyes/lenses. It roared punching another car sending it flying at them.

"SMASH!" the soldiers exclaimed, about to pull out their weapons before Jin held a hand up.

"Summon...Yukianesa…" Jin whispered as a cross of ice appeared before him, a sheathed katana held within before the ice shattered, allowing him to grab it. Just as the car drew close, he quickly drew his sword, causing the car to not only be suddenly sliced in two, but also be completely frozen solid as the two halves shattered upon impact.

"Ah crap...a Nox Nyctores…" Sento muttered.

"Men, you apprehend the criminal…" Jin ordered as he gave the Smash a cold stare, "I'll deal with the Smash."

"WHAT IS THAT?!" Ryuga shouted, seeing the Smash.

"Smash, Noun: the crush or destroy. Used as the name of humans exposed to an unknown substance that causes rapid mutation and alteration of the human anatomy." Sento explained, earning a blank look from Ryuga, "...It's a Mutant!"

"AH! Mutant!" Ryuga panicked, understanding that, "Wait..it's not gonna try and infect me, is it?"

"No...but it will try to kill you." Sento sighed, pushing him out of the way of a chunk of asphalt the monster ripped from the road and tossed at him.

"Oh…Well it's not g-" Ryuga began before barely dodging a laser blast.

"Don't move, criminal," Jin ordered as he used his sword to short arm all of the Smash's swings that tried to take his head off.

"Kinda hard not to move when that things throwing stuff at me!" Ryuga shouted.

"Do you have to snap at everyone? No wonder you got sent to Jail, you probably picked a fight with the jury and judge." Sento pointed out bluntly.

"I didn't even get a damn trial!"

"Seriosly? Well that's messed up." Sento muttered bluntly before he moved a guard's gun as he shot so as to blast a chunk of road keeping it from getting close enough to crush them, "Your welcome~" he sang as he ducked around falling debris and ice.

"Don't save them! They're the reason I'm in this mess, them and their entire corrupy organization!" Ryuga snapped.

"Silence, criminal!" a soldier snapped as they all aimed at Ryuga, "The Imperator's Justice is law, and all that defy the Imperator's justice shall be punished!"

"I'm just making sure no one dies...which should be your job." Sento complained to one of the men as he corrected his aim for him.

"Who even are you?"

"Sento Kiryu scientist, researcher...and about ten times smarter than...all of you meatheads combined." he explained, "So...I'm a smart guy...and your a dog compared to me. Now...be a good boy and sic the monster." he countered in response to their attitudes.

"...Major Kisaragi as it under control," the soldier countered as jin parried another strike from the Smash, "And out job is to follow his orders, so move or else."

"Or else what?"

"Or else you'll be taken in for aiding and abetting a wanted criminal."

"Or maybe your so lazy you rely on your commander who is actually trained to defend people and you abuse your power." Sento countered bluntly, "You can threaten me all you want but don't forget I am smarter than you. I know words that would make your head spin and while your busy learning what I said I will have proven myself innocent and you and your lazy pals as incompitent. So how about we take two more things into account. I'm smarter than you…" he then grabbed a giant chunk of asphalt the size of a person's torso and held it up, "And look at that...I'm stronger than you too, so why don't you focus on staying alive, or I show you how much stronger."

"What kind of nerd are you?!" Ryuga shouted.

"One of a kind." Sento replied, "Now...like I said. Try not to die due to being stupid." he patted the officers shoulder, "Later!" he said blurring off.

"H-hey! Get…"

"Do not leave your post!" Jin ordered, slicing another piece of debris the Smash sent at him, "Focus on apprehending the wanted criminal."

"Y-yes sir!"

"He's right…" Ryuga spoke as he punched one of them in the stomach, "You are weak...can't even take a liver punch." he sighed as he fell down.

"...You made a big mistake," one of the soldiers frowned, "Open f-!" he began before Ryuga slammed his fist hard into his gut, "?!"

"If you think that's fast...you'd never last more than one round in my ring." Ryuga grunted, tossing him away.

"Wait!" several of them shouted as Ryuga began running, "Free-AH!" they cried as the Smash got past Jin and tackled through their line.

"Damn it…" Jin frowned as he chased after the Smash, "Secure the area in case he returns!"

"Yes...sir..." the soldiers that were still conscious groaned in response.

---

Ryuga ran as fast as he could on foot from where he was before. He hoped that monster gave him the cover he needed to find a spot to hide out their search. After that he needed to find a way to get out of Toto. Among other more important things that needed to be done first.

"Ah…" he panted as he made it far enough to reach the Skywall itself, the ever large chunk of tectonic plate rock marking the edge of the Toto border. Not that he could climb over….the red barrier over the top killed anything and anyone who touched it. But this open field was a good spot to rest.

"RAH!" Or rather it use to be,

Ryuga turned around to see the Smash from before. It banged its chest like a gorilla as it finally tracked him down. It jumped, closing the distance between them before aiming a punch that Ryuga avoided letting hit the Skywall.

"Damn it. For a hulking monster, it's fast…" Ryuga whispered, he raised his arms as he used them to block a punch, he grunted feeling the force and strength shake him to his bones, "Nice...punch…" he grunted feeling the pain numb his arms, "But I'm not going down to a freakin hand monster!" he shouted shooting his leg up and kicking it in the chest knocking it back, "Come on...come on…" he grunted as his hand twitched, he then stepped forward before punching the monster making it stagger back again, "I'm not going down here...I still have to make it to that place…" he grunted as he landed a liver punch to its side, "I have to get away from here…!" he shouted landing a punch to its face, "I have to see her...even if it's just one last time! I have too!" he shouted punching the monster repeatedly, "So get the hell out of my way!"

At that, both punched at one another at the same time. Both fists collided, causing a surprisingly loud clap of sound that rang across the open field. Ryuga grunted as the two were sent skidding back, leaving small trails on the ground.

"I have...to get to her. To tell her…" he grunted, punching the ground, "If your the mountain in my path...I'll just clear you!"

The Smash roared out in response, beating its chest as it charged at Ryuga. Ryuga rushed as he punched the Smash repeatedly only for it to shrug them all off and swing to try and hit him. But Ryuga avoided each slow and large swing with the greatest of ease. He landed one more punch only to be blindsided by a punch to his right that knocked him down, the fist hit his shoulder and side, before sliding up to his face. His shoulder popped from the force, nothing broken, but enough to numb his arm, and possibly dislocate it, the blow also left his ear ringing and his right eye half closed from the pain and bruising that was setting in.

"RAH!" the Smash roared raising its fist to swing it down to knock him out or possible end him. Ryuga curled up to defend himself...but the blow never came. He turned his head to look up and see a smoking wound on the Smash's chest.

"Fighting a Smash without a weapon, or let alone a power to even yourself with it," Sento's voice spoke, "That's pretty gutsy, even if stupid." he complimented.

"...you again…" Ryuga frowned a bit as he turned to see Sento standing not too far from him, "What? Come to gloat how smart you are more?"

"No, my point was made." Sento spoke lowering his gun, "I thank you. You found a nice secluded spot to take this thing. That's just what I needed. Last thing I need is that Cold freak knowing my secret." he smiled, "Leave the rest to me."

"What?" Ryuga asked, "Why…"

"I'm not doing it just for you. I need to save him as well," he pointed at the Smash, "That's still a person. A person suffering from this form. Doctor Sento has just the cure." he said pulling out his belt as he put it on the yellow belt slinging around his waist.

=Build Driver!=

"Oh…" Ryuga spoke shocked.

"Now then," Sento smiled pulling out two bottles, "Shall we begin the experiment?" he asked as he began shaking the bottles. Everyone but Sento stopped as they saw projections of math formulas and all sorts of complex numbers and equations floating around the air. The Smash looked at the floating numbers and groaned in confusion from mental overload of just seeing all the swirling numbers.

"Oh god...nobody said anything about math!" Ryuga exclaimed.

"Sh! I'm about to experiment." Sento calmly spoke, he then twisted the caps of the bottles, he then slotted them into the belt.

=Rabbit! Tank! Best Match!=

The belt began letting lose a charging sound and music waitin for the wearer to move onto the next action.

=Are You Ready!?=

"Henshin." he simply spoke as he began spinning the crank. The bottles had their energy extraced into the giant buckle. The gears turning and processing the bottles substance.

Tubes extended from the belt forming two spruces in front and behind Sento. One formed red armor and half a suit, consisting of a right arm and left leg. The other formed blue armor with a left arm and right leg. Each had half a helmet as well. After a moment the two spruces slammed together as Sento lowered his arms down. The armor locked in place as the black leather suit stitched itself together into one entire attire. Steam shot out of his chest armor as the new armored figure took his place.

=Hagane no Moonsault! RabbitTank! Yeahhh!=

"Ha…" Ryuga spoke amazed seeing this for the first time.

"Hmph." he spoke turning to his side before twisting his head back as he slid his fingers across the tank antenna and flicked his hand out. He stood their striking a cool pose as he let those present take in his new form, "Shori no housoku wa kimatta!"

The Smash just roared in response as it charged at the armored warrior. Sento ducked under a swing before he spun around and slammed his tank leg to the Smash's back making it stumble forward.

"Ano mask…" Ryuga spoke, "Kamen...Rider?"

The armored hero ducked back from another punch before he blurred forward and landed a left hook to the Smash's face making it stumble back. The Smash roared swinging its arms to try and catch its enemy in a bone crushing bearhug. The Kamen Riders left leg began glowing as the spring was pulled down. After a moment is released and sent the hero flying up into the sky.

"WOAH!" Ryuga exclaimed, looking up at how high he jumped.

"Ha!" the Rider shouted coming down with am ax kick to the monster's head knocking it down. He crouched down and lifted the monster back up before punching it rapidly with his rabbit arm making it stagger back. "Koi…" he spoke as pipes formed from his belt before summoning forth his drill lance.

"Eh? Drill?" Ryuga blinked.

"Invention of m-" the rider began before blocking a strike from the monster, "...Do you mind? I'm trying to explain here...then again, it'll probably go in one ear and out the other." he sighed as he ducked around another punch and slashed the Smash across the back making it stumble forward. He pulled the trigger on the handle making the drill spin as he slashed it again, leaving a large gash across its chest as its biomechanical armor was scraped down, "This is The Rotary GunSword Drill Crusher!" he presented as he stabbed the spinning drill into the Smash's chest making it stumble down.

"GunSword!?" Ryuga asked incredulously.

"Would've gone with a simple gunblade, but why stop there?" he explained as he ducked around another punch aimed at his face. He swung from the side hitting the Smash's back, he raised his arm up and swung down slashing it a second time and making it stumble forward. The Kamen Rider then swung around and landed a side kick with his red leg as the spring constricted and snapped sending a shockwave and imprinted a rabbit paw print on the monsters shoulder as well as sending it flying. "Hm...he's a stubborn one. But all muscle heads have a pretty common weakness." he smirked pulling out a white Hedgehog bottle, "Primarily to sharp stabby things."

He moved his hands to his belt as he pulled the Rabbit bottle out and slotted the new white bottle.

"Build up!"

=HARENEZUMI! TANK! ARE YOU READY!=

A white set of armor floated next to the Kamen Rider before it locked onto him replacing the red rabbit armor. His new eye was shaped like a hedgehog with multiple extending quills, the red armor all replaced by white colored versions. His left shoe becoming a normal sneaker like shoe, the difference was his entire right arm a new set of white shoulder armor that extended all the way down his upper arm and covered in spikes, a similar gauntlet formed over his arm with his entire right hand now covered by a white spiked mace ball.

"He changed half his body!" Ryuga gawked.

"Alright let's begin the new experiment!" The Kamen Rider smirked as he raised his right hand as the spikes grew to insane and frightening length as they caught the monsters arm making it cry in pain. The Smash turned away to cry in pain only to cry again as it felt a sharp pain to its posterior. "Hora! Hora!" the Rider smiled as he repeatedly struck the Smash's rear with spikes, several breaking off and being left there.

"That seems far worse then just punching and attacking it with a drill…" Ryuga muttered bluntly as the Smash grunted in pain.

"Hey. It works," The Kamen Rider countered, as he backhanded the Smash leaving quills in its face….one of its many finger faces that is. "But I think that's enough data collection. Sturdy body type, super strength, however its maximum density potential is no greater than granite. Perfect." he smiled as he put Rabbit back in, "Build up!"

=Hagane no Moonsault! Yeah~!=

Walking forward in his 'Best Match' form he stood before the Smash as its muscles pushed the needles out of its body. It bashed its fists together as it prepatred to charge. The Rider however raised his hand to the lever as he began cranking it again the gear spinning and shining brighter as energy seem to pump into his armor making his eyes glow brightly. Steam escaped in the saime diagonal way as it seemed his body was building up huge amounts of energy. The Smash stopped mid step as well as it felt the surge of energy from him. The Kamen Rider stopped cranking as he built up enough for a finishing blow. Everyone waited for him to launch an attack.

=VORTEX FINISH!=

"Wait right there for a sec." he spoke up suddenly as the Smash and Ryuga all almost facefaulted. He then began running in the opposite direction down the road. His tank legs grinding against the road as his rabbit leg left a rabbit footprint with each Smash made a move to run but suddenly it stopped as it realized two things formed to its side, two portions of a fourth of a graph plane showing a bell curve formed to its left and right before they slammed together and trapped it in place. The Kamen Rider suddenly jumped and slammed his feet down as he pushed a chunk of the road down forming a hole.

After a moment, Ryuga stumbled as a pillar of stone lifted the Rider back above ground and into the air to the top of the graph. The Smash looked up in shock as Ryuga realized...it was a slide. Build suddenly jumped off and landed on the curve of the graph before he began sliding down it, as he did he kicked out his Tank leg, the caterpillar tread spinning so fast his own armor began sparking due to friction. As it did blue energy swirled around his leg forming a saw blade of energy. The Rider shouted as he accelerated faster and faster down the slide, his kick met with the body of the Smash causing a massive shower of sparks as his leg began sanding away at its thick armor. After a few more second of resistance finally the Rider shot past the Smash causing a large explosion of green flames that shot into the air.

"Nande...ano power…" Ryuga spoke seeing the pire of fire as it dispersed to leave a beaten Smash. The Kamen Rider standing over it his eyes glowing as he stepped on it.

He pulled out a clear bottle before pointing it down and sucking up the Smash leaving behind a man in the same prisoners uniform as Ryuga. Only he had short black hair, and face piercings and tattoos. He twisted the cap locking it as he pocketed it on his holder.

"Another prisoner. Seems to be their best bet for repeated success." He spoke observing the man, as his crystal lit up studying his face and running it through arrest files,"Breaking and entering, assault with deadly weapon, and harassment. A real piece of work. But minor compared to why NOL is after you. They aren't the best but even they have some sort of you hurt ours we hurt you mentality." he spoke to Ryuga who clenched his fists at those words.

"I told you already…!"

"You didn't kill anyone." The Kamen Rider cut him off, "You've said it enough times I know it's your default answer already." he spoke as they heard the sounds of sirens as cars pulled up and surrounded them, "But I still can't tell how honest it is." he added as Ryuga looked around horrified, "...at least that's what I would say to a normal person." he added as Ryuga didn't even hear him as the cars stopped and armed officers and Guardian robots exited several of the cars.

Gentoku and Utsumi stepped out of one as Jin walked up alongside him. The trio acted as the leaders of the forces as they walked forward to confront Ryuga and the Kamen Rider.

"So...your the famous Kamen Rider people talk about." Gentoku spoke, "I have to admit...you've been making my job easier. You take care of monsters for us and leave us criminals to arrest. Your quite the patriot aren't you Kamen Rider-san?"

The Rider raised his hand to his neck and seemed to click something. "I'm just doing what your dogs don't." he spoke in a distorted virtual voice; surprising Ryuga that his suit could do that and earning a growl from Jin at his words.

"We'll be taking those two criminals." Gentoku spoke up before Jin could move, "Step aside and we'll take them to where they belong. We'll have to lock them both away in the deepest pit of jail. To make sure they don't run off like this again."

"Ghh…" Ryuga growled before falling to his hands and knees, "Whats the damn point...no one even believes me. I'm just doomed to be stuck in these assholes grip for the rest of my life…"

"Jin...secure Banjou...he's still inhumanly strong. We can't let his outburst fool us." Gentoku ordered.

"...Understood," Jin nodded, unsheathing his sword as he walked towards Ryuga.

The Kamen Rider looked at Ryuga before he sighed and crouched down, "Sayakuda!" he cried in annoyance, "Ugh...I didn't want to have to do this. I thought I'd be able to ride out the I'm a menace vigilante bit for a few more months before those asshats got tired of me doing all their work. But now I have to ruin that plan, you owe me you know. I don't do this for just anybody." he spoke confusing everyone as the mysterious masked superhero began complaining like a little kid. He pulled out a smartphone before plugging a bottle into it and tossing it letting it transform into a motorcycle, shocking everyone at such an invention, "Mou...I hate having to be the nice guy." he sighed walking over to his bike and mounting it, "Come on get on." he said patting the back of the seat, "Hurry up will ya!? You want to go back to jail or something?" he snapped at Ryuga.

"Ah! R-right!" Ryuga nodded as he rushed over and hopped on.

"No you don't…" Jin frowned as he charged, intent on killing both criminals.

"Ha!" the Kamen Rider grunted blocking a slash aimed at Ryuga's neck with his DrillCrusher, "Are you even human with this level of power?" he complained pushing him away. He twisted the gas as the bike took off the moment thie weapons separated.

"After them!" Gentoku snapped as the Guardians all pulled machines from the back of their cars that unfolded into dirt bikes, "Use all necessary force but bring them in! Dead or alive!"

The Guardians all took off after the two on bike. Many other robots pulled out long range rocket launchers as they began running along the barrier along the skywall. The Kamen Rider looked back as he saw the pursuers. He smirked as he shifted gears on the bike making it take off even faster as the engine let out a lion roar.

"WHOA!" Ryuga shouted hanging onto the Rider.

"Take the handles." the Kamen Rider ordered midway down a road, then quickly jumped over Ryuga before grabbing onto the back of the bike, his blue leg touching ground and spinning in pace with the ground letting him skate behind the bike. Ryuga screamed his head off as he struggled to keep the bike balanced and going straight. The Kamen Rider swung his rabbit leg as he deflected a missile that almost hit them. The rocket was sent off course as it hit the sender guardian blowing it and its rocket launcher team flying off their high ground.

"Are you crazy!?" Ryuga exclaimed.

"Nope. I'm a genius." he spoke as he kicked a bike chasing up behind them sending it and its robot driver flipping along the ground before exploding. The Rider then jumped over Ryuga as he took control back, "We're going to need to lose them somewhere extreme." he spoke looking at the sky wall, "Your not afraid of heights are you?"

"...you're not gonna…?" Ryuga began in realization.

"Oh...I'm gonna." he spoke, "Hold on to your seat, this is gonna get bumpy." he said as he jumped onto a large portion of the wall and began driving along the top of the wall besides the red energy field. Several guardians chased as best they could but some either fell off due to poor skills or leaned into the energy field and exploded.

"You're insane!" Ryuga screamed.

"No...I'm a better driver, also my bike is self balancing, and it can drive itself. But I lacked time to turn autopilot on for you, but you seem okay at driving a bike." he explained bluntly.

"WHAT!?"

"Oh look. We're at the really tall part now." he spoke looking over the side. Ryuga did the same as the ground was so far down buildings looked puny from this perspective.

"AH! Don't fall Mask guy!"

"Kamen Rider da…" he corrected as he noted more of the Guardians chased him and by his count, four were left, "Sorry."

"Hah?"

"I'm going to have to do something you hate. Or rather...will hate." he explained further.

"...why…?"

"You'll see." he explained moving his hand for the brake lever.

"No...no...no! No no no no no!"

"Gomen~"

"Don't apologize in such a fake cute tone for a dude!" Ryuga shouted as they suddenly veered off the wall and fell down the wall as they began driving downward picking up extreme speeds.

The Guardians followed after as they jumped down. Several tried to control themselves down the decent, only to fail and fall down. The Rider pulled out his Drill Crusher and jammed it into the wall as he grabbed Ryuga and let his bike fall along with all the guardians. The robots all crashed to the ground exploding, while the Kamen Riders machine folded back into smartphone mode and landed perfectly okay on the ground. Build hiung from the wall as Ryuga held on tight for dear life while screaming his head off.

"AH! I'm gonna die and I'm only 24! I have so much more life left to live! I'm not even old enough to be a dead person yet!"

"SHUT UP! I have enhanced hearing!" The Kamen Rider snapped.

"Why are we still dangling?" Ryuga asked.

"No reason...I just counted three explosions when we had 4 bikes left."

"So?"

"So...that." he spoke as he looked upwards as he swung around as Jin almost got them, "Your a persistent guy you know that!"

"You won't get away, criminal…" Jin frowned as he stabbed the ground, the Kamen Rider barely jumping out of the way as a pillar of ice sprung forth from where he stood..

Both fugitives landed on the ground as Ryuga was tossed into a bush. The Kamen Rider raised his Drill Crusher as it began spinning as it clashed with Jin's sword, the spinning of the weapon kept ice from forming, and applying counterforce keeping the Kamen Rider pushing and gaining ground in the struggle.

"I'm not a criminal...and neither is he!"

"Huh?" Ryuga and Jin spoke confused.

"No man would continue to stick to such a basic lie like that to the bitter end," the armored warrior continued as he blocked another strike, "Maybe he has a point on the NOL being a corrupt organization."

"Exactly!" Ryuga shouted

"Be silent!" Jin shouted at him, "What nonsense do have to believe he is innocent?"

"I have no physical evidence. But only a man speaking the truth would repeat such a line to himself to the point he cried." the Rider spoke, "Its true he is a professional martial artist, but he's a terrible actor, it's such terrible acting skills that busted him for fixing a match. No one could be more honest, it if for that reason along I am inclined to believe he speaks the truth and that he was set up. He's not smart enough to lie that well."

"What a foolish and idiotic reasoning. All proof points to him as the murderer, nothing could possibly explain how several trained men were killed so easily. A fighter with skills so great he could beat even robots to death." Jin pointed out, "He's nothing more then a monster."

"And what are you Mister Cold?" the Kamen Rider countered, "You seems really eager to believe the evidence presented to you by others and don't question the validity. A true mind questions everything until the truth is learned for itself. To take an answer at face value is nothing more than a sheep being told comforting lies by a smarter human. I believe that this man tells the truth, that he didn't take any life, because there is no way for him to be so honest and still be a murderer like you claim. You see him as some monster that takes life without worry...but that seems more like you doesn't it?" he went on as he blocked another slash with his drill crusher, "Here you stand ready to kill a man you don't even know...why...because you were ordered to, mr hero of the war. In fact...maybe the 'war' was just a hoax just to show how terrifying the NOL truly is."

"Shut up!" Jin shouted as he jumped back from a strike from the armored warrior, sending out a cutting wave of ice at him.

"No. You shut up!" the Kamen Rider shouted as he deflected the cutting wave, "You and every soldier in the NOL are nothing but dogs who blindly follow whoever gives them a command!" he shouted aiming his weapon forward, "Its why the people fear you...they fear the people who should protect them. Thats why I do what you can't…" he spoke swinging his drill crusher down, "Ore wa...Kamen Rider Build." he revealed his name, "I do what you can not...fight for true justice!"

"Build…" Ryuga spoke confused.

"To create or form, Build." he elaborated, "I will stand to show the people you intimidate...they can build a better tomorrow. After all...if the people who protect them inspire fear, someone has to fight for love and peace right?" he asked, flicking his hand across the tank antenna.

"You just enjoy running that mouth of yours don't you?" Jin asked as he and Build walked around one another their weapons scraping across the roads asphalt.

"Rather do that than blindly destroy each base like a certain wanted criminal of yours…" Build countered.

"...So you know of Ragna the Bloodedge…" Jin noted.

"He owes me new stuff...that jerk wrecked my place." Build spoke simply, "Ah...all over a stupid croquet stall...I was in line first after all. But talk down to him and he gets swing crazy."

"...tell me where he is…"

"And why should I?" Build asked in an amused tone.

"Because I...I…" Jin whispered, his hair shadowing over his eyes as a crazed grin began to grow on his face, "I need to kill him…"

"Beg pardon?"

"I...I will be the one…" Jin whispered, an icy-blue glow coming off his sword as he looked up, "I WILL BE THE ONE WHO KILLS HIM!"

"Oi Build! He's snapped!" Ryuga shouted, "I've seen this before. Dudes who use crazy weapons lose themselves if they aren't strong enough to overcome it!"

"Strong enough...you must mean emotional and mentally…" Build spoke, "Then it seems fighting is inevitable here. Ryuga take my bike and book it. I'll be able to track you with it and take you to a safe location." he ordered.

"What?"

"If you stay here you'll get caught again. Beat it, I can handle myself." he replied as he slid his legs apart and held his drill crusher across his Tank arm.

"Ah...sure." Ryuga nodded, walking over and taking the phone before he plugged the Lion bottle back in. "You better not die!"

'Considering I'm going against someone wielding a Nox Nyctores...yeah.' he mentally sighed as he and Jin stood across from one another, "If you're gonna try and get to either of those muscle heads...you'll need to get past me."

"Gladly…" Jin whispered, sheathing his sword as he got into a drawing stance, a symbol faintly appearing behind him, "Toga Hyojin(Frozen Blade Ice Fang)..." he silently called out as he unsheathed his sword, sending out a giant ice wave at Build, the wave going at high speed as the ground it traveled on instantly froze.

"I got something for that." Build spoke as he inserted a teal blue bottle as a diamond symbol formed, the drill began spinning as a light frame formed around it before it sparkled to reveal his Drill Crusher was now covered in a giant diamond.

=Ready Go! Vortex Break!=

Build thrust his Drill Crusher forward as the diamond aura grew larger and began tearing up the ground as he rushed forward. The Diamond Drill began tearing through the ice and creating an unaffected area from an aerial view with Build at the start. Build grunted against the force but his attack was able to counter the ice wave. Build dug his tank leg as the tread tracks began spinning moving him as he kicked his rabbit leg back the push from the spring sending him shooting forward and tearing through the wave of ice.

"Hishogeki(Ice Soaring Strike)!" Jin declared as he sent out a giant ice bustersword at him

"Ha!" Build shouted as he jumped forward and clashed his diamond drill blade against the buster sword of ice, causing a burst of cold wind as the area was engulfed in a icy fog, "Does...he have a name for everything? I have to admit...that's impressive…"

"Muso senshozan(Fog Spear: Sharp Crystal Slash)!" Jin's voice roared out as he bursted furth from the fog, riding on top of a large board-shaped icicle as he held his sword back.

"Woah!" Build yelped a bit in surprise as he rolled out of the way, "Was that an ice car?!...well let's try this one!" he spoke loading a new bottle into his weapon this time Hedgehog. The Spear began spinning before he took the drill off and flipped it over and plugged it the front forming the gun barrel.

=Ready Go! Vortex Break!=

Build aimed as he began unleashing a barrage of white energy needles. Jin slashed each one down with his sword as he charged at Build.

"Sekkajin(Snowflake Dust)!"Jin called out as he delivered a series of wild slashes at Build, hsi blade almost completely invisible as Build kept blocking each strike, small bits of ice starting to form on him with each block.

"Gh…" Build grunted, landing on the ground as he took a step back, he let steam pour from his armor getting rid of the ice forming on his person. He took a step back again as he studied his environment as Jin walked forward ready for another attack. Build took a moment as he noted everything around him with a sigh he looked back up, "Shouri no housoku wa Kimata!" he spoke pulling out and shaking a new green-ish bottle showing a vacuum cleaner, "Build Up!"

=Soujiki! Rabbit! Yeahh!=

With this a new green set of armor set itself over Builds blue tanks half. His eye was changed and now showed a hover like vacuum cleaner canister and the nozzle and T shaped head acting as his ne antenna, his shoulder has the engine for a vacuum attached to it as his entire left arm was now covered in a gauntlet resembling the body of a vacuum cleaner with an extending arm attaching the mouth of the actual vacuum. The...new armor was so odd...it actually stumped Jin for a moment.

"A...vacuum?" he blinked shocked the Kamen Rider would use such a silly armor gimmick, a rabbit and a tank was one thing...but now he was literally wearing a vacuum cleaner as armor.

"You'd be surprised how useful this thing is in retrospect." Build countered, "I mean this thing picks up everything...even elemental attacks." he laughed as the suction turned on...and it was like a vortex sucking in everything that wasn't the ground itself. Chunks of ice where sucked and grinded up into the containment unit on his shoulder, which after a while evaporated away. Build sucked in almost all the ice literning the battlefield before he aimed his shoulder and pushed on a dial on his chest armor, "Here...this looks like yours." he smiled as the containment chamber opened and all the sucked up ice was released as a focused hailstorm back at Jin.

Jin tensed as he quickly stabbed his sword into the ground, creating a wall of ice around him as the hailstorm blew past him, freezing and encasing the area around him in ice. After a moment he realized what Build's plan actually was as he saw the Rider wave from behind the ice wall.

"And that is why it pays to have a brain. If you thought I'd fight you till backup arrived you're sorely mistaken." Build chuckled, "Even with your powers chipping away will take a good while. Long enough for me to gloat and leave. So...See you~" he waved walking away.

"...Grr...kuso…" Jin growled out.

---

"Whoa! Why'd it stop?!" Ryuga asked as the bike stopped mid way and turned down another road. It then skidded to a stop in front of Sento holding up a pen, "What the hell...how you...are you a witch?"

"A: The term you meant is Warlock a male equivalent." he corrected, "B: No its my bike it just has a tracking signal to come back to me when I press a button." he explained, "So...ready to live on the run?"

"...Why are you helping me?"

"After seeing how hellbent those NOL thugs were after you, I think it's safe to say you are innocent," Sento answered, "Plus after my whole recon mission today, I can definitely see the NOL for who they truly are."

"...wait. Recon?" Ryuga raised a brow.

"Oh yeah. I'm technically a member of Sector Seven," Sento stated, "Along with squirrel girl, who pretty much up and vanished on me the moment the NOL showed up."

"Wait...you work for them!?"

"Yes and my roommate is Ragna the Bloodedge." he added, "I'm a complicated guy who's loyal to one thing and one thing only."

"What?"

"Love and Peace~!" Sento declared, holding up the peace sign.

"...you're trolling me, aren't you?" Ryuga's eye twitched.

"Oh. So you are somewhat smart. Let me guess, never passed High school entrance exam?"

"IT WAS REALLY HARD!"

"Look Banjou...I believe you're innocent, and if you can bare with me...I'll help you prove it." Sento spoke honestly, "But you need to be patient it won't be fast or easy. Honestly...you might be involved in some big political cover up, your the fall guy for something the big wigs want hidden...and it's my job to find out what it is, and why."

"Thanks…" was all he said.

"Don't worry about it. You're not that good at acting to lie anyway." Sento shrugged, "I mean if you were smarter...you'd have known your fly was down."

"WHAT?" Ryuga panicked, looking down in panic and sure enough...the zipper to his white pants were down, "How long!?"

"Since I first found you." Sento deadpanned.

"Why didn't you say so sooner?!" Ryuga shouted.

"It's not my fault you didn't notice," Sento rolled his eyes.

"You…!" Ryuga growled.

"Not now. I need to find a half dressed woman with a bubbly personality and blissful ignorance of public decency." Sento cut off, "Oi, Squirrel Girl!" he called out as if calling for a pet.

"What did I get into?" Ryuga groaned.

As the two began walking, they failed to notice a figure standing atop the Sky wall watching them, he was clad in a black leather armored suit, he had red and green lines across his suit as pipes formed large chest and shoulder armor. A yellow bat symbol flashed on his chest and his mask as a horn extended from his helmet.

"Soon...the bells of war shall ring." he spoke watching the two walk away, "Soon…" he growled out as black steam surged from his armor.

SZ: And with that, we are off to an interesting start.

Z0: Indeed and so begins our story blending the worlds of Kamen Rider Build and the popular fighting game BlazBlue.

SZ: Eeyup, and just in time too as Cross Tag Battle will be released in June for us in America.

Z0: Whoo! Epic Crossover fighting game!

SZ: Yup. and before you guys go 'oh but the DLc wall ruins it!' Hey! The DLC issue isn't that bad for this game. The main game is gonna be 50$ while the deluxe version with the season pass is 70$ And the DLc packs-that's right packs with 3-4 characters each- are gonna be 5$ each with pack one being free for the first two weeks while Blake and Yang are gonna be free permanently.

Z0: Yeah they fixed that little early complaint fast, but regardless reserve judgments till the game legit comes out guys. The company gave us Dragon Ball FighterZ this year remember...they earned some faith off that one.

SZ: Eeyup. And as for the early release...well, they wanted it to be ready by the time EVO happens, hence why we only have half the 40 character roster for now.

Z0: In short...blame EVO if anything else...but know what that's enough of us on the game talk...even though it's oddly on topic all things considered. But moving on. This is our first chapter of the story and we promise to only move onward and do our best and better from here on out. It helps Build is the first rider in a while who is in his own self contained world, and for this story that helps honestly.

SZ: Indeed.

Z0: So we'll leave things off with the upcoming chapter preview.

SZ: And we will see you guys next time. Read and review, and enjoy the chapter preview.
