1. Chapter 1

OverNerd04: Hello and good day, readers, I am the OverNerd. And with me are Kamen Rider expert Kamen Rider ZER0 and Marvel or Spider-Man expert Rider Paladin. Say hi, boys.

Kamen Rider ZER0: *tears down door* You forgot to give me the keys! I was locked out there!

OverNerd04: I tried but you so into the finale of Amazons you kept clawing at me, so I left you alone.

Z0: That's no excuse, just do what my mom does and throw them at my head.

OverNerd04: You told me to stay away from your mom after I got drunk that one time and your dad and your brother kicked my ass...wait, that's private, RP, speak, you zombie!

RP: Not a zombie. Not yet. Hi, everyone.

O.N: I'll be quick, reason we're here 'cause I'm a goddamn turtle because it took me all the way to Mugen's debut to find out that Kamen Rider Drive is a nerd…

Orge: NERDDD!

O.N: Thank you Orge.

Z0: To explain, Drive's actor Ryoma is a huge...HUGE Marvel fan. Like so much...our resident Marvel fans among our group look like noobs compared to the man.

O.N: He's found reading comics, attending prop displays, praying to Iron Man armors, and in an interview stated that working with Marvel is his next big dream, funny thing Disk Wars Avengers was going on while Drive started.

Z0: It must have been a calling card of fate we missed.

O.N: Too bad nothing got done with that. But hey, that's why I am a fanfic writer and instead of thinking on it I have a reason to have this fic: Drive the Driving Avenger! Not the title of the story, really, but it sounds cool.

Z0: Indeed.

O.N: So shall we drive, my friends?

Screens popped up as various shaded figures watched a tall man clad in a suit of armor. His body was clad in a black suit that almost looked like leather with a white stripe going down the side of his suit. His chest was clad in red armor with a small silver tube over his right pectoral, and a tire attached to his chest like a sash going diagonally down from his left shoulder to his right side. His shoulders were clad in dynamic outpointing pauldrons that seemed to have air vents and lights at the ends. His arms and legs were covered in dynamic red gauntlets and greaves that were very angular, the armor extending out and framing the elbow and knee joints, with silver bracelets and anklets framing his wrists and ankles.

His gauntlets also had small silver pieces near the elbows, while the backs of the hands were covered by red plates resembling two triangles positioned back-to-back and jutting out over the knuckles, with armored fingers in addition to that. The warrior had a large belt strapped to his waist as well and it highly resembled a digital speedometer with an image resembling an angular S in the center, and a bracelet on his left arm matched with this belt. It had a large face of sorts that resembled a gear shift with a small toy car acting as the handle in it. His helmet resembled a car racer's helmet, pure red with a white racing stripe, large white optics resembling headlights, a spoiler addition to his helmet, a silver mouthpiece with tubes connecting around the sides of his jaw to the back of his helmet, showing two more exhaust ports, and a red tail light from behind.

"This boys and girls is Kamen Rider Drive," a suave voice said. "Friday, give us all the knowledge we've gathered on him."

=Yes, boss. First off, Kamen Rider seems to be a title that's passed down to these kinds of guys and it gets confusing really fast, so we'll just call him Drive=

Drive blocked a punch from three androids; one was cobra-themed, another bat-themed, and the last one spider-themed. Drive blocked the punches from two before knocking them away, only for the cobra-themed one to get the jump on him.

=His armor is highly advanced, it increases his punching power to 6 tons, with a kicking power exceeding 10 tons, overall meaning he can deadlift close to 60-80 tons,= Friday explained.

Drive punched a wall, smashing it to dust and sending the spider android behind it flying through another wall. He then grabbed a hunk of concrete tossed at him before dropping it aside. Drive then ran before becoming a blur to the normal person's eye or at least on the monitor, which then slowed down to show Drive running at a pace they could all see.

=He has a base running speed of 35.89 miles, and can boost this up to 113.6 miles as well, with indication of even higher speeds when he uses the bracelet on his left wrist. After shifting it a total of three times he can move just below the speed of sound.=

They went back to seeing Drive run around at his top speed, weaving around androids and beating them using incredible skill in hand-to-hand combat.

=His skills in hand-to-hand combat exceed most basics, relying on basic martial arts for disarming and keeping enemies down. From practice in battle his skill has increased, however even in his first appearance, he was able to handle fighting three enemies at once with little trouble.=

Drive grabbed a blue-colored broadsword with a steering wheel acting like some kind of hand guard. He then used the sword to deflect energy bullets fired from the androids before rushing at them and cutting them, his sword cutting through their armors and even slicing the arm off one unfortunate android.

=Drive's first weapon is this sword he seems to affectionately nickname the Handle-ken. In Japan, handle is used in place of steering wheel, meaning he calls it the Steering Wheel Sword. It is made from a compound called S0-1, a material that is not metallic in nature and therefore can be repaired if damaged as well as vibrate to frequencies where it can slice titanium with ease, results against Vibranium are unknown but assumed to be none as per usual. However, beware as this blade can conduct Drive's energy to be used for a variety attacks, such as igniting with fire, projecting energy blasts, and even more,= Friday explained on.

Drive ignited his sword with fire after inserting a car into it before another screenshot of Drive with a new tire, purple in color and themed after a shuriken, swung the blade, sending two giant energy projections of a shuriken to cut down an android. The screen then changed to Drive as he grabbed a gun...themed after a car door. He opened it as it seems to speak and closed it, then shot at an android, making it stumble back as bullets made from energy exploded against its chest.

=Drive's secondary firearm is the Door-Ju...as with the last weapon it is another affectionate nickname since it's a door...and a gun,= Friday muttered as Drive seemed to breathe on the gun and then polish it with his glove.

"He has your flair, Tony," a voice spoke up.

"Touche…"

=The Door-ju is a powerful energy weapon that can fire bullets stronger then most ammo types normally used. These energy bullets can also be altered by whatever power he uses, and can be fired semi-automatic or full automatic,= Friday added.

At that two images of Drive lit up, one showing him shooting one bullet with each pull of the trigger, the other Drive spraying a hailstorm of bullets on enemies.

=However, seems that the weapon has a cooldown method, Drive opens the gun and then closes it. This cools down its power system, and 'reloads' the gun, and this limitation keeps it from overheating and possible backfiring. However in a pinch this can be overridden by his helmet's digital uplink device,= Friday explained.

Two more images then formed; one showed Drive as his armor changed from red to a silver suit with black armor themed after a muscle car and dune buggy. His tire relocated to his right shoulder, with a more barrel-chested armor resembling the metal grill of a car. His new, more rounded, and bulkier helmet lit up. The other one, however, was a different change; his suit remained black but with yellow lines down his sides and arms, and his armor was now a bright green in color and bulkier, with tubes connecting his arms and shoulders and the tire now rested horizontally across his chest just under his neck like a collar. His armor looked reminiscent of a garbage truck with two small arms framing the side of his head and sticking upwards. Both forms were clearly different and for specific tasks.

The black armor was stronger and more resilient to damage. Drive was now overpowering a large android that resembled a hunk of iron with hammers as arms, each of his blows causing dents into its metallic body even sending it flying into the sky and through walls. Drive also used the tire on his shoulder as a makeshift shield for blocking attacks and bashing it into enemies in a very Spartan-esque manner.

"You know, I bet if you let him borrow your shield in that black form he could do some damage."

"Not happening."

They saw Drive as he tackled his tire into androids...about six of them...and crashed them right through a building, never losing any momentum with his charge.

"You're right...he might just break it with that much brawn," he joked as Drive in the black armor lifted a huge chunk of building letting people escape to freedom and help. "Show us the green and mean one."

The green armor was slower and more robotic...one shot even had Drive doing the robot dance as he taunted an android...it worked effectively. This form wasn't as fast or strong like the others, but it was clearly smart, it predicted enemy attacks from behind, found cloaked enemies, and could seem to link with technology and hack it from a distance. This was most evident from Drive disarming a bomb with so many locks and firewalls it took normal bomb squads hours to hack, but it took him seconds.

"Like my armor, it can work perfectly at predicting its opponents' moves once it's got the fighting style down. He can also hack into anything with no problem so far as I know."

They also saw the green armor form an energy shield to block bullets from androids. He then grabbed his gun and aimed at each one, hitting their legs and arms, disarming them before finishing them off. Drive did all that in a span of only a few seconds...and given his gun's functions, with one clip worth of ammo. Another shot then let them see Drive as he was punching an electric android in the face, blocking all its strikes before aiming his gun and shooting vital points, even bypassing its electrical barrier.

=Despite being a middle-ground form, this form can boost its power to become even stronger than the black armor,= Friday explained as a new tire locked into place on his torso, and a 10-ton weight landed in his hand.

However, the weight slammed into the ground as Drive strained to lift it up, but then suddenly it became light as a feather and it bashed an android in the face, sending it flying away. He then tossed it as it hit the ground, becoming a gravity field that made all the androids trapped in it fall to the ground that even began to cave in around them.

"Wait...what's with the tires changing?" one man asked in confusion.

=Drive can alter the tires on his chest to attain new extra powers,= Friday spoke up. =He can attain elemental abilities, increased power, weapons, or extra traits.=

At that multiple images of Drive's 3 forms showed up, each one having a different tire. The first in his red armor had one with a flame-themed tire as his arms were coated in flames each time he hit something. Another was green with spikes...and fired his spikes like a machine gun at enemies, while his purple shuriken tire made him faster and let him make holographic copies. His black armor gained a yellow tire and a large power drill attached to his arm as he used it to tear through an android's body, destroying it. The green armor placed a red tire that extended a long robotic arm that grabbed an android and manhandled it, smashing it into the ground repeatedly before pulling it in close for Drive to kick it, sending it flying.

=Krim Steinbelt's Drive System, like the Iron Man suits, is constantly evolving with each battle=

"Krim...Steinbelt?" a woman asked.

"An old friend of mine. He made that armor, and the power source for it," the man from before spoke up as a graph of a small car with energy readings popped up. "The Core Driviar energy, something that goes above and beyond even my own 'green' energy source. It's safer and stronger, but had one downside; when used without a limiter, it caused a gravity well that made the air molecules around you thicker, literally like trying to move your body through jello. The only thing immune to it is the membrane of the central cortex, meaning your brain will work just fine in slow motion, the rest...not so much."

=Reports say Krim Steinbelt died in a fire, but as evident by these Roidmude, the slowdowns, and this Kamen Rider his demise is false=

"So...a brilliant scientist has gone into hiding after someone turned his invention into a weapon?" the woman simplified.

"Not into hiding, he's right there," the man replied, pointing at the belt.

An image of Drive showed him looking down at the belt as its screen changed to an emoticon-like face, and he was talking to it. The face even changed to show a series of complex emotions.

"I'm sorry...but he's talking through the belt?" one man asked.

"Nope...that's him in the belt. He did what no one could...he uploaded his mind and soul...into a machine and attained immortality...at some costs...lots of costs."

=This is as far as our investigation into your top choice has gone, Captain America...your thoughts?=

"Simple, he's still in," the voice spoke up as the figure came into light clad in a dark navy blue uniform of bulletproof material. It was, however, striped red and white around his abdomen, with a silver star locked in the center of his chest outlined in red streaks. His arms were covered in red gloves, and he had leather straps connect something to his back. He wore a hood-like cowl hanging from his neck, revealing his head of short, somewhat spiky blond hair and blue eyes. "We need Unity and it's time we stop sticking to just what we can find in America. This time we're looking into all heroes who will answer the call."

"Sounds good to me," the man who set up this entire presentation spoke. He turned on the lights as the holographic screens all closed in, showing Drive just on a huge monitor. "So let's…"

"RAHHH!" a bellowing roar was heard.

"What is it?" a deep Viking-like voice questioned on the other side.

"Some dead man ate all the peanut butter!"

"What know I about the butters of peanuts?"

"Oh, here we go again…"

"RAHHHHHHHH!"

Tokyo was the largest city in Japan, in terms of mass population and size. It was somewhat split into smaller towns within the larger city to make it easier for people to know where somebody lived. However one cared to refer to it, this was one of the largest cities of the East, and just as the largest cities in the West, it had its fair share of crime.

"We have you surrounded!" Japanese police officers shouted over megaphones as S.W.A.T. teams surrounded the biggest bank in the city. Riot gear, automatic weapons, and other tools all ready to deal with crooks like this. "Give up, you can't possibly get away with this!"

The crooks inside cursed their luck, all of them clad in black, ski masks, and carrying your easily attainable gun. Nothing major, honestly, it wasn't like any of the five had a military rifle, just a basic shotgun or pistol.

"Hayaku! Hayaku!" one of them shouted to the one working on the bank vault.

"Ah mou Wakatayo!" he shouted back, shoving his partner aside.

"Baka…" the obvious leader of the five groaned. He was the only one whose mask had a skull pattern on it. He then motioned for the two who were free to keep an eye on the hostages. The two nodded and moved over to them, aiming their shotguns to keep any of the hostages from trying anything stupid.

"So...what do we do with these guys when we got the cash, Aniki?" one of the shotgun wielders asked curiously.

"What do you think...we run, we escape, we live good," the boss said as he sat down in a chair and relaxed. "Maybe...bankroll...our next bank job." He chuckled to himself at that thought.

"What about women?" one of them asked.

"And the women." The boss chuckled.

Back outside, the officers waited for their next order, and the S.W.A.T. officers were especially antsy to get in there.

"What's taking that bastard...we have hostages and there's only five of them," one officer complained. "Damn that Kineta-yaro...bet he's not letting us in there so he can fire the first one to screw up. Deputy Director, my ass..."

"What can we do...he's our superior...only Koba can outrule that ass...and he's away on business," another officer muttered. "Tsk...we'd have taken them down and be helping the hostages by now if he were here to give the order."

"What seems to be the problem?" a voice asked them in English.

"Huh…" They blinked, turning around. "Ah…" Their jaws dropped.

"From how the men are positioned and the worried and itchy trigger fingers, hostage situation?" asked the tall blond-haired man clad in the blue battle suit with red-and-white highlights similar to the stripes on the American flag. "I assume that they have been waiting for commands from higher ups?"

"Yes...yes," the officer who spoke English best muttered. "We have been waiting for over an hour now…"

"Is he...he is…" the other officer muttered in Japanese as he looked at the circular shield on the man's back painted in red-white-and-blue with a star in the center.

"I'll take it from here officers, I don't wait for orders." He smiled reassuringly as he pulled the cowl over his head, forming a mask, with white wing markings on the side of his head. He grabbed the shield off his back and slid it over his left hand.

"Captain America…" Many of the officers all gawked at seeing the famous hero of the United States...here...in Japan.

"Good work, officers." Captain America gave them a thumbs-up. He took a deep breath before he took a couple of steps back, and then began running before jumping over a car, then over a S.W.A.T. truck before jumping again with all the force his legs could muster. This resulted in a dent in the truck's roof and one Captain America flying through the air and using his shield to break through a glass window just above the front door to the bank.

Inside the five robbers all heard the sound of glass breaking. They turned to their boss who just grunted and told one of the two with a shotgun to check it out. After a second the poor crook was sent flying into the safe, closing it just as it was finally opened.

"Come on!" the two safecrackers cried.

"Uh...Aniki...we got trouble...Like World War II level trouble," the second shotgun holder said slowly.

"Nani...ah...uh…" The leader gawked as they all looked at Captain America.

"Boys…" he said as he hopped on his feet practicing a right jab to the air. "Didn't your mother ever tell you not to take what's not yours?"

"The hell's he saying?" one of them asked in Japanese...given their line of work, it was fair to say they never passed English in high school...if they even passed high school at all. Then the shield hit his face, knocking him out.

"AH!" his partner cried. The shield bounced off the safe and hit him next before bouncing off the walls a few more times and into Captain America's waiting hand.

"Now...what have you boys learned?" he asked before chucking the shield again, hitting a wall twice before it angled and cut the shotgun of the forth guy. His weapon broken, the shield bounced off a wall and Into Captain's waiting hand again. He then delivered an uppercut to the confused crook's jaw, sending him flying into a wall.

The boss clapped his hands slowly after his four friends were all knocked out. He then held his hand to his throat before a digital sound came from his mouth as he seemed to be clearing his throat.

"Good work, Captain America," he spoke in perfect English.

"...You're not human, aren't you?" he deduced, picking up the sound. "You're one of them."

"So...you've heard of Japan's newest species vying for the top of the food chain...must admit. I'm impressed. What, does SHIELD spy on every nation to find out what you gotta punch next?" he asked mockingly. He then ducked under the punch aimed at his face. "Whoops, almost hit me there." He chuckled as his...body digitized and faded away to reveal a Spider-Type Roidmude, his chest reading 021. He then ducked another punch only to get smacked in the face by that American flag-painted shield, sending him flying into a desk.

"You know...I know another guy who wears metal and talks too much," the Captain said as he shook his hands, ready to get back into the fight.

"Ah...is that so...well, then color me impressed," he said before the other four got back up and changed as well, two Cobras and two Bats. The Cobra-Types grabbed their discarded weapons that merged with their arms, becoming oversized cannons. "But we have a retort!"

"...You guys are more than what we knew so far," Captain America said, using his shield to barely block and deflect their shots. "I didn't expect to run into you guys so soon...but then I'm sure the other guy can take over from here."

"He's brought his boy band!" the Spider shouted.

"Where?!" the other four asked. But at that, the glass broke as a red blur grabbed both Bats by the neck and carried them into and through a wall.

"Those aren't Avengers... it's the damn Kamen Rider!" one of the Cobras shouted.

"Never meant the team by the other guy, he's who I was waiting for...no matter what you are, henchmen are dumb as bricks."

"They're my brothers…" the Spider leader growled.

The two Bats then hit the ground before being manhandled around by the red blur until they eventually exploded. Their numbered cores floated up before exploding as well. The Blur then stopped to reveal Kamen Rider Drive, who was facing the Spider.

"Sorry I'm late. Had to get my car washed," Drive quipped, not taking this that seriously.

"You're just in time, son," Captain America said, standing next to him.

"Thanks, Captain America…...wait….Captain...Am..am...am.." he muttered before slapping his helmet. "Your...you're the Captain America…" Drive gawked, blocking an energy bullet with the palm of his hand.

"I'm sure you have questions but you, me, and Mister Krim Steinbelt can talk after we handle the situation."

"Yes, sir!" Drive saluted before he batted away a large energy shot. "Be careful, those cannon arms of theirs can charge up for more power, and be extra explosive with spread shots." He gave that warning as he ran past the Cobras.

"Here, son," Captain America said, tossing his shield to Drive.

Drive grabbed it as it docked to his arm before he used the shield to bash the Spider...whose eyes actually seemed to bug out as the shield hit his head. It sent him flying away and into a wall. The two Cobras aimed at Drive, who used the shield to block both energy shots that hit him. Thinking they got him, imagine their surprise when the smoke and fire cleared to show a perfectly fine Drive who swung his arm, blowing away the rest of the smoke. The fire system activated, letting the sprinklers turn on.

"Let me take you guys out for a spin," Drive said as his eyes lit up.

=SP-SP-SPEED!=

Drive then took one step forward before everything around him slowed down to him. He then began running, crashing through the water droplets. He lifted Cap's shield and used it to bash in the first Cobra before he skidded to a halt and turned to face the second Cobra. Drive then punched with his free arm, hitting him in the chest, sending him flying back across the ground. Drive then twisted his waist as he pulled the shield off his gauntlet and tossed it at the Spider Roidmude. The speed at which it was tossed sent it straight through the android, its body now cut in two with his arms from the elbow down hitting the ground. In that moment time went normally once more.

Both Cobras hit the walls while the Spider Leader groaned in pain before his body was free to fall to the ground in shambles before exploding, his core floating up and doing the same.

"A-Aniki!" the two Cobra's cried.

"Get out of here, and tell your leaders the Avengers are here now," Captain America said. "And we're fighting with this young man."

"Eh, you are?" Drive gawked.

"SCREW YOU, OLD MAN!" one shouted in English as he aimed.

Drive acted fast as he ran over to him while pressing the red button on his brace.

=FULL THROTTLE!=

Drive skidded down and slid across the wet bank floor, then aimed his leg up and kicked it into the Cobra's chest, sending him flying and exploding.

"Well, I did make an offer," Captain America said before he and Drive both looked at the sole survivor. "You wanna follow his example?"

The Roidmude turned into Data and escaped through a computer.

"Smart choice, you guys can come in now," Captain america shouted. "Mister Tomari, don't bother running, we know where to find you. It'll be easier if you stick with me a bit longer."

"Eh...how do you…" he asked.

=Tony...wasn't it?= Krim's voice asked from the belt in perfect english.

"Nice to meet you, Mister Steinbelt." he said as the S.W.A.T. team entered. "The perps escaped, but the hostages are perfectly fine, we made sure nothing was stolen. Officers, secure the cash and tend to the hostages, make sure no one is wounded. If they are, call the ambulance..no, wait...Drive Mad Doctor if anyone's injured."

"...Yes, sir," he said, mentally wondering if this was a dream.

"When did Iron Man change his name?" a S.W.A.T. officer asked aloud as the other officers without hesitation obeyed Captain America's orders.

---

Drive walked out with Captain America, letting the police handle it from there. He then stopped as a red sports car...that looked like it was from the future or a sci-fi movie...drove up to them. It looked like a Honda NSX, only the front was more aerodynamic like a race car, and the two circular lights... were actually lasers. The final thing to note was besides two spoilers made from extra tires, the left front wheel had a compartment-like section that closed over the empty portion.

"Seriously, son, next time get a car that can at least look like a normal car. This was how we easily found you."

"I knew it was obvious," Drive muttered.

=I didn't exactly have time to work on practicality. The final design was meant to look like a normal car.=

"Just be glad we paid attention first," he said as he knocked on it, a policewoman opening the door. "Shijima Kiriko, sister to Shijima Go, pleasure to meet you. I'm Rogers Steven."

"To...Tomari-san...this is Captain America." Kiriko gawked.

"I know, right!" Drive said excitedly. He sounded like a kid meeting his hero in person. "And he knows everything about us!"

"How?!"

=That'd be the fact Iron Man is an old friend of mine…= Krim spoke up.

"He called you his Science Bro, but you never joined the Knights of the Atomic Round."

=I don't like working with others, I prefer to only help when asked.=

"Then this should be easy. I'm here to recruit Tomari Shinnosuke as Drive into the Avengers," Captain America stated bluntly.

"...Kiriko, kick my ass, it's official I'm under some Roidmude illusion," Drive said shaking his partner. "No, really, for once I don't mind the superhuman kick to the gut or face, just for the love of all that is good, please tell me this is real, Kiriko! Kick me in the dick if you have to, woman!"

"Get ahold of yourself!" she said, slapping him.

"Thank you...I needed that."

=You want Drive as an Avenger=

"Honestly, there were multiple choices but he is the most sensible and obvious for many reasons. Most of the past Kamen Riders are strict loners, even having a lack of respect for the chain of command. Tomari Shinnosuke is an excellent police officer and a fine soldier if he was in the military, but police work can also be war, so I look at him, I see a soldier."

"Hai!" Drive saluted.

"For once you're being respectful?" Kirko gawked. "If I had known it was this easy."

=I must decline=

"And I must insist, last year while the Avengers were away helping out Thor, the Zawame City incident happened and America paid a great price mostly because of the stupidity of higher-ups acting out of fear, but there were many innocent lives lost," he began as Krim listened. "You're doing what Tony did, you chose to take matters into your own hands to stop this menace you helped create. These things, their power source, so we suspect you had a hand in their creation, but you've chosen to take responsibility for it. Krim, you and Shinnosuke here can do so much more. I'm not telling you to stop the mission, I'm saying look beyond the enemy you wait for and think about the enemy who;s around the corner."

=While the sentiment is true, I would be remiss to admit...I'm afraid I can't say I think it's the right thing,= Krim admitted. =It's one thing to create a weapon that can be abused...it's quite another to invent something meant solely for peace...and then be cursed to witness the evil others would use it for.= There was nothing but grim truth in his words. =No matter how many nights I try to sleep...and yes, I do sleep. The nightmares of my demons haunt my dreams.=

"You're not the only one with demons," Captain America said, "and this offer isn't just for you, you're a package deal."

"Ano Captain...could I have a word alone with Belt-san?" Drive asked.

"Sure, son," he said as Drive quickly scooted away. "I have enhanced hearing, so maybe a bit further."

Drive nodded before he blurred off to the top of a building about two blocks away. Once there he took a deep breath. "Gomen Belt-san...but I need to get this off my chest before I continue…" Drive said gripping his fist. "YATTA! Arigato Kami-sama!" He was shouting this at the top of his lungs...Krim could feel the tears of joy in his eyes forming under his helmet.

=Shinnosuke…=

"Right…" he coughed as he shook it off before he pulled the Shift Car out of his brace and hit the button, canceling his armor and returning to his normal self, a 6-foot-tall young man with black hair, dressed in a pinstriped grey suit with a red tie around his collar. "Belt-san...I understand your point...and I understand Captain America's point. In short...you're right...he's right...you're both right." He chuckled as he sat down on the edge of the building.

=Yes...then you are also right, Shinnosuke.= Krim chuckled in agreement.

"I understand Roidmudes are your primary concern, but if I see something that requires Drive's assistance, should I just ignore it?"

=That's impossible for you= Krim stated.

"And would you just let me fight without my aibou with me?"

=No, I wouldn't…= he sighed.

"Listen..I know you're scared. Scared that something you made with every intent of just helping people, of making lives better, easier, something you made for good, being used to harm people, like the day of the Global Freeze...you blame that entire thing on yourself."

=Ah…= Krim agreed with a sad sigh.

"But... yet you tried to stop it with my Sempai...you tried to protect everyone, and even now you fight them with me," Shinnosuke added. "What I'm saying is...if you feel like you owe the world so much...maybe we can make it up a little faster by helping save it from everything."

=...While that is assuring..it's just...it's just...-=

"Hmm?"

=...It's Stark. While I've heard the news...I find it hard to believe he's changed that much=

"Hm...I see your point." Shinnosuke hummed in understanding. "Then...you won't know till you see for yourself, will you? Even still...if you think he hasn't changed... I don't think we should let that stop us from doing what we should do. When I first put you on and agreed to all this, you said: As Drive I'll be able to move faster than anyone to help those in need. And reclaim what I lost," he reminded as he stood up and reached his hand out as if trying to grasp the city before him. "Now...it's time for you to reach out and take back what you lost. Right?"

=OK= Krim said with a serious look =iko Shinnosuke=

"Hai Belt-san. Like we promised...we'll ride together into hell if it means protecting innocent lives."

---

"Your brother was very lively in America," Captain America told Kiriko as they waited for Drive to get back. Cap decided to remove his cowl to make the wait more comfortable.

"Gomen if he caused any problems."

"Oh, no, no problems." Steve waved his arms to not worry her. "He just had a habit of annoying Tony..so you know none of us had issues with that. Well, except Hulk that one time one of his pranks woke Bruce up," he muttered. "Or that time with the peanut butter."

"...Now I know why he was scared of the color green for the first week he came back."

---

Go was sleeping in his bed before something woke him with a scream. "No, Hulk!" he shouted. "Ah...just a dream…" He then took out his phone showing a text. "Ohh, nee-chan texted me." He was surprised. "Normally, she doesn't text me, she prefers barging into my room and kicking me out of the bed...wonder what it is...and holy crap, that's Steve…" He gawked at the photo Kiriko took with Captain America. "Then that means...Big Mean...and Green isn't far behind...I got to get out of the country!" He jumped out of bed, grabbing his stuff.

---

"It was horrible!" the surviving Cobra from the failed bank robbery cried to Heart. "Aniki...he didn't know what hit him!"

"Hm…" Heart listened calmly to the story from his brother. "So...the heroes of the West think they can travel to the East without any worry…" he muttered.

"Heart-sama, he said Drive was one of them now and if we fight him they'll all come for us!"

"Oh…" Heart asked before his mouth curled into a smile. "Don't worry, my friend," he said, standing up as red mist poured out around him, accenting his red leather trench coat. The tall human form of Heart cracked his neck, letting his black hair sway from side to side. "My friends won't have to worry about some band of American heroes...not while I'm around." He walked past the Cobra Roidmude. "Check in with Medic to see if your are at all harmed." He smiled.

"Heart, don't be reckless," Chase said, stopping Heart, the purple-clad biker refusing to let his friend leave their current hideout.

"Chase...my friend. It is true your duty is as our protector. But this is something a leader must do. If the heroes of America want to declare war...it's only fair that they meet face to face with the leader of their enemies to do so." Heart smiled, patting his friend's shoulder. It was hard to tell if the unemotional purple eyes of Chase bought that.

"One of them is a Viking and the other is Russian and you can't face them without taking on the green one."

"Then...I shall come back even stronger than the Green Goliath." Heart smirked. "Remember, Chase, with me it's literal that what doesn't kill me makes me stronger."

"..." Chase didn't budge. "If I can't stop you, then I'm accompanying you."

"I wouldn't have it any other way." Heart smirked. "Brain...Medic…!" he called out loudly. "Chase and I are going to fight the Avengers...I'll leave the house to you! Go…" He pushed Chase out the door.

"Medic, get the medical bed for Heart ready," Chase said just in case.

"Hai!" the feminine voice called out as a woman dressed in an outfit that was a mix of a nurse and ballerina walked out, only her attire was pitch black.

"You realize Heart is gonna kill himself," a man with glasses and dressed in a green jacket muttered. Medic smiled as she stomped on his toe, making him cry in pain. "Ahh, Bitch!"

"I know you are, but what am I?"

"I despise you, you evil vindictive -!" Brain began.

"Love you too, Brain," she continued to mock him.

---

"I can't believe it, I can't believe it~" Shinnosuke grinned as Captain America led him and Kiriko to the new HQ. "We are so lucky they were moving to Japan, anyway!" he stated happily.

"Yes...lucky…" Kiriko muttered, trying her cellphone again to get in contact with Go. "Go's not picking up...he must still be sleeping."

"Wait, why are you here? You weren't invited to join the Avengers."

"Hah!" she scoffed at him. "If I'm not here to keep you on task, you could very well sleep your way through the end of the world."

"Not today, Kiriko, you are not gonna embarrass me in front of my idol!"

"Me...Me embarrass you?" she asked. "That's a laugh, this coming from the man who once spent an entire work day sleeping in Tridoron covered in fast food wrappers...you don't need me to humiliate a lazy slouch like you."

There was the sound of a knock, and they both blinked to see a confused Steve as they noticed they were approaching a gate. "I'm sorry but are you two in the middle of a husband and wife spat?" Steve asked.

"Eh?!" They gawked at that.

"You two get along so well and your partnership is impeccable. I assumed you two were in love or secretly married."

=...And who told you that?= Krim asked curiously.

"Tony," Steve replied. "By the way, welcome to Avengers Tower."

"Right...thanks." Shinnosuke nodded as the gate opened into an underground garage for Tridoron to enter. "...You guys were really prepared to welcome me."

"Yes, I recommended you," Steve informed. "This is basically your room, Krim, as we noticed you prefer garages."

=Thank you for your consideration=

"Is that my good old Science Bro?" a voice called out, making Krim make his annoyed face.

At that, a man in a suit that probably cost more than Shinnosuke's entire old home walked up to Kiriko's door. He looked down before pushing off his sunglasses. "There he is!" he said happily. "Krimy-boy!"

=Tony…= Krim acknowledged.

"Need the bathroom?" he joked.

=Hahaha...yes, very funny, reference to the times in college where you hogged the bathroom in the morning due to your hangovers.=

"3 minutes for hangovers. 30 minutes to make this hairstyle look good, Samurai-boy." He waved to Shinnosuke.

"Eh, samurai-boy?"

"I'm Tony Stark, thanks for taking care of Krim for me," he said as he pressed the button on something in his hands, making the window go down for him. He then put his hand out to shake Shinnosuke's. "Oh, hi there, little lady." He noticed Kiriko.

"..."

"...I've seen that look, Natasha gives it to me when she wants to drop-kick me, so gonna avoid your bad side."

"She has a bad side?" Shinnosuke blinked.

"Well...what you should ask...does she have a good side…" he muttered before groaning and falling over, twitching and spasming, something stuck in his back and shocking him. "...See...no good side..."

"I was referring to Kiriko," Shinnosuke muttered, "but better you than - ow!" He groaned as he had his arm twisted behind his back, his face slamming into the steering wheel. "Uncle, uncle, uncle!"

=Captain Rogers, the SPD representative is here to meet you=

"Thank you, Friday," Steve said. "Mister Tomari, Miss Shijima, I'll be back with you later." Then he left.

"Ugh…" Tony groaned, pulling himself back up on the hood of Tridoron. "Goddamn that vindictive redhead…" Tony muttered. "What Bruce sees in her I'll never know." At that, another electro dart hit his back. "Ugh!" He groaned again, falling over.

=Hehehe= Krim chuckled.

"Not...funny…"

---

Shinnosuke was escorted into the living room and saw two figures playing on a PlayStation 4. One was a tall man with long blond hair with a bit of stubble, clad in a black outfit that had silver armor framing the front of his chest and red accents along the sides with the entire back of his shoulders colored red and no sleeves, showing off muscular arms, as well as two metallic bracelets on his wrists colored in silver and red. The other...was a giant man made of pure muscle, his skin a permanent green pigment, his black hair even having a slight green tint to it, the only clothing he had on being a pair of purple shorts with white stripes. The big green guy was also using a controller scaled up to his size.

"Hulk will smash Goldilocks!" Hulk grunted, mashing buttons to try to get combos in the fighting game.

"I think not…" the blond-haired man countered as he did the same, just mashing buttons on his controller. "The son of Asgard shall not...fall...to...you…" He grunted as his character was winning.

"Then Hulk smash Asgard and Goldilocks!" Hulk countered before his character lost. "RAAAHHHH!" He shouted in rage, crushing his controller. The blond man chuckled before grabbing another Hulk-sized controller and tossing it to him. "Thanks…" They were about to start a new game when Tony interrupted.

"Guys, take two, the newbie's here," Tony said.

"One...more battle…" the blond man countered.

"Hulk will win!" Hulk grunted, ignoring Tony. He smiled as he was gaining momentum and won that round. "YEAH!" he roared.

"Is it always like this?" Kiriko asked.

"They used to spar but then I got tired of repair bills."

"Hehehe...Hulk needs lots of room." Hulk chuckled.

"Yes...the beast tends to thrash about in his sleep," the blond muttered before blocking a punch with a hammer. "Not this time."

"..." Hulk then noticed Kiriko and approached her. "Hulk remember you! You White Biker Man, you hit Hulk with a crowbar!"

"Eh?" She blinked.

"No! No!" Shinnosuke interrupted. "This is White Biker's sister...SISTER!" He emphasized that last word. "See...girl." He demonstrated by undoing her hair bun.

"White Biker Man scream like little girl."

"Well, you and her have something in common...you both like to hit Go," Shinnosuke spoke.

"Hulk not go, you go!"

"No...I mean you both like to hit White Biker Man."

Hulk took a second to think of that before resting his chin on his wrist. "Hmm…" he muttered. "You no hit Hulk with crowbar and you cool with Hulk."

"Yes...yes." Kiriko nodded...using Shinnosuke as a shield.

"Eh...I'm not a shield, Kiriko!"

"Hulk tired now." He yawned as he shrunk into a fairly normal-looking man with the same face as Hulk, his shorts seeming to shrink with him. "Phew, that took awhile...what day is it?"

"Wednesday."

"What month?"

"You were the beast for a fortnight," the blond man spoke up as he was playing solo now. "New one, try to lift the hammer!"

"Huh?"

"Thor likes making guests lift his hammer," Tony said, motioning to the hammer on the floor. "Do if you want to or don't, he just likes a good laugh."

"Ah...well, I guess, since I probably can't," Shinnosuke muttered. He then jumped over the couch and grabbed the hammer before trying to lift it. He strained to move it even slightly. Thor looked at this as the hammer didn't budge.

"Hahah, nice attempt, young warrior." Thor laughed as Shinnosuke let go and fell on the couch.

"Uh...not to interrupt...but Tony, how long is a fortnight?" Bruce asked as he put on a pair of slacks.

"Two weeks," Tony stated calmly.

"Oh, that's short," he said before looking at the belt. "Good day, Mister Steinbelt, big fan of your work."

=So...you are the one and only Bruce Banner, the brains of the Hulk. More or less,= he replied. =It is a pleasure to meet you. I wish...it were not while I was attached to Tony!= Of course, Tony was wearing the Drive Driver.

"What...I make this look work," Tony replied calmly.

"I know many Kamen Riders and personally invited the deceased ones to Valhalla," Thor told Shinnosuke.

"There are more Kamen Riders?" Shinnosuke blinked. He then looked at Krim, who whistled innocently. "Ah mou...more secrets!"

"Iron Man is like that as well." Thor and everyone but Tony groaned.

"Hey...there's a difference between secrets and not asking," Tony countered.

"...Belt-san said the same thing once." Shinnosuke gave a suspicious look.

"We're Science Bros, we use the same book of excuse,." Tony countered.

=I neither confirm or deny=

"So these two are Cap's first step of his Unity," Bruce muttered.

"Unity?" Shinnosuke asked.

"Its Cap's big plan to evolve the Avengers," Black Widow replied, stepping out in an armored version of her usual costume. It had a glowing black widow hourglass mark on the chest, presumably a modified arc reactor, and glowing red lines throughout the body of the suit. Her usual stinger gauntlets were still mounted on her wrists, but looked even more high-tech. Next to her was the Scarlet Witch, also wearing an armored costume, though hers resembled a bikini with thigh-high boots thanks to how the suit was segmented and colored. A glowing red visor with antenna over the ears wrapped around her eyes, completing the ensemble. "Good evening, I'm Black Widow. This is Wanda, we're still teaching her Japanese."

"..Kon..kon...konnichi..wa?" Wanda hesitantly greeted, unsure if she said it right.

"Greetings." Kiriko bowed her greetings.

"Umm, hai, greetings." he said, trying not to look at Wanda's suit.

"Before you ask, Krim, that was actually her request," Tony informed.

=Ok, but you're still a playboy, hmm, interesting suit, Miss Widow..wait, is that…?=

"Yep, after enough studying I got it down so she can move in slowdowns." Tony smirked. "Well...the normal kinds...you never wrote down they could be piled on top of one another to become stronger!" he complained.

=That alone is still impressive enough, I seriously underestimate you at times, I can offer improvements later but for now, nice work=

"Thanks, Science Bro." Tony smirked.

=Please take me off...the fact I'm reading your body's health is disturbing to me…=

"Not happening till trouble starts."

"Umm, so what is this Unity thing?" Shinnosuke asked again.

"Cap told you about the Zawame City incident, right?"

"Hai. I'd be hard pressed to find someone who hasn't heard about it," Shinnosuke answered..

"And you know what happened to America, we would've stopped it if we weren't off-planet," Tony said.

"My foul brother Loki and his tricks cost us all." Thor frowned.

"So, Cap, after we heard what happened, realized something, or at least he felt like he realized something," Bruce informed.

"We...majorly need help." Tony sighed. "We can do lots...but we don't have enough man...and womanpower to do that. So...we're looking for anyone who can join us in protecting this humble rock from aliens, demons, and your general megalomaniac hungry for power."

"He's not only looking for that, as far as he's concerned, he wants to help solve the mutant and Inhuman problems going on, he wants everyone no matter who they are, he thinks all of us need to unite into a new stronger Avengers," Black Widow informed. "We know there have been many heroes in Japan, so we started here."

"Luckily, the United Nations approved of this with help/backing from those also mindful of the Zawame Incident like Wakanda and surprisingly Latveria."

"Latveria?" Shinnosuke blinked.

"Yeah...when interdimensional portals begin spitting out creepy little aliens in every major city all over the world, you better believe even the ruler of Latveria has issues with that. Claims whatever it was was so strong is freaked him out."

=...That doesn't sound like Victor= Krim noted mentally.

"Suffice to say, this was something big and we missed it," Tony muttered.

"So we're reassembling," Thor said. "The good Captain is speaking with SPD to invite assistance from those in the stars."

"We've already gotten support from those Super Sentai who are known to be working with or associated with the Japanese government," Black Widow added. "Until America's restoration is complete, we'll be here in Japan."

=I see, the Captain has taken this incident very personally=

"Yep. I hope he's doing okay," Tony muttered.

---

Steve awkwardly sat at a table...in front of him, a six-foot-tall dog-man with blue-and-white fur calmly sat there dressed in a black trenchcoat with sunglasses covering his eyes. "I'll be honest, Mister Kruger, first time I met an alien I haven't had to punch in the face."

"First time I've met an American who hasn't panicked or awed at the fact I'm a human dog," Kruger countered. "We of the Shep tribe are calm and collected."

"Shep...as in Shepard?"

"Your dogs are close to my kids' races." Kruger nodded.

"Let's move on, I'm glad you could take this time to meet with me, I've heard you're recovering from a medical induced coma, and I'm glad that framing incident was cleared."

"I merely placed trust in my officers." Kruger nodded calmly. He then pulled off his sunglasses. Cap noted that without those shades he seemed more approachable. "You use a shield, I use a sword, our fighting styles are opposite."

"But we fight for the same reasons and with the same spirit."

"Yes…" Kruger smiled. "I would enjoy talking more on our philosophies at a later time, though, for now we should get back to business."

"Yes, as you heard I am reformatting the Avengers and I wish to seek support in Japan. You are stationed here as SPD and the Energy Management Center has already provided their support."

"Well...we would love to assist you, Captain," Kruger spoke. "Our resources, enemy database, and help are but a moment's call away." He simply nodded.

"Thank you, Mister Kruger."

"Please call me Doggie," he spoke. "Anyhow...we shall talk more on the technical matters of our agreement at a later time." He sighed. "I have some issues of my own."

"What is it?"

"Some kids called the Guardians of the Galaxy stole an upgraded Dekawing Robo from us." He sighed. "Kids these days…" he complained as he put his sunglasses back on. "To make matters worse, they have their fair share of priors, so this is a priority case for the time being. I gave them chances, but they still chose to play by their own rule book."

"What was special about this Dekawing Robo?"

"My friend Gavan had his Space Sheriff technology added to it, we were in the middle of a merger," he explained. "However, their little prank...might cause issues with this. Those kids are in need of a good scolding."

"If you ever need assistance, the Avengers are on call," he said getting up and offering Doggie a handshake.

"You're a nice human, your legend precedes you." Doggie chuckled, shaking hands with Steve. "I shall get back to you once our problems are settled. Till then, take care and good luck with your new recruit hunt."

"Good luck on finding your missing mech." He smiled as he and Doggie parted ways.

---

"...Easy enough to find," Chase said with Heart sitting behind him on his bike as they looked at the tower with the Avengers symbol on the top. "They are as...outstanding as you Heart."

"I take offence to that…" Heart replied, taking goggles off his eyes. "I...have more style."

"If the green one and Viking tag team you, we're leaving," Chase said. "You find joy in battle but if this Hulk's anger makes him stronger, you'll either fall or be stuck in endless combat with him."

"Chase, are you worried about me?"

"I prefer you to let me do my job," he stated before suddenly revving up the bike and heading for the gate. "Now let's do this."

At that the Ride Chaser roared as it shot down the road, its skull-shaped ornament ramming through the front gate as the two rode onto the ground. Chased pulled out his knuckleduster/gun weapon, the Break Gunner, and aimed at the upper floors and began shooting and shooting. His energy shots crashed through the windows and caused small explosions.

Heart dismounted the bike before he swung his arm forward, causing a series of explosions across the ground that raced up the side of the tower, shattering all the glass.

---

"Wow, not even a day in and we already got trouble," Tony said, taking off "his belt" and tossing it to Shinnosuke

=Is it wrong I want to say finally?= Krim asked.

=BREAK UP!~=

At that the doors broke down as Mashin Chaser walked in, clad in his black-and-purple armor that looked like he was wearing a motorcycle engine. His one visible eye glowed as he aimed at them all.

"Tony…" Bruce said as he hid behind the couch. "Why...why did you not make a security system?"

"I was working on it!" he countered before he ducked purple energy bullets. "We just moved in." He held his hand out and pushed a button on his watch.

"...Huh, you." Chaser blinked, seeing Shinnosuke and Kiriko. "Good...two birds with one stone," he said before blocking a punch from Iron Man. "Out of my way, fool." He backhanded Iron Man with his Break Gunner, sending him flying through a wall.

"Okay...he's not nice," Iron Man complained, getting out and aiming his palm at him while Mashin Chaser just turned to glare at him. "What...not gonna shoot?"

"It will be pointless," he replied as Iron Man fired a Repulsor beam...that was absorbed into his armor. "Pointless."

"Huh...didn't see that coming," Iron Man muttered as Chaser grabbed him with his free hand. "Or that!" Chaser tossed him into the ceiling.

"Aren't you going to do something?" Bruce asked Thor.

"I am in the middle of a drink, besides, I know he didn't come alone," Thor said.

"Wait, another one?" he asked before Heart in his human form kicked in the door. "Oh…"

"So...this is how humans choose to spend their time...pathetic." He smirked.

"Not human, I am a god," Thor informed, drinking.

"Funny...the first human I met said the same thing to me. But he died like a little bitch." Heart chuckled.

"If your human was a god, you should be able to lift the hammer on the floor, little man."

"Little?"

"Heart, don't let him …" Chase started before another blast sent him into the wall. "..how…"

"Tony Stark secret," Iron Man informed before flying at Chaser, sending him through the wall.

Heart took all this in before he looked at Mjolnir. He then grabbed it as everyone looked and got ready to laugh...only Heart lifted it up. "This hammer?" he asked, twirling it around. "Not that heavy."

"Looks like I can't hate you, warrior. Thy name?" Thor smirked, cracking his neck.

"Heart...leader of the Roidmude...the top of the food chain," he said, swinging the hammer and hitting Iron Man, sending him flying out through the wall.

"Then," he said as he waved his hand for the hammer to return to him, "let us battle!"

"Yes...let's." Heart smirked, crossing his arms before the room began to get hot...unbearably hot.

Heart then roared as his body was changed by data-like energy replacing him...with what most could simply call...a demon. His red metallic body stood taller than Thor with two huge horns curving above his head in a heart shape. His chest was exposed, showing a golden heart in his chest...that was actually pumping. His skull-like face slowly opened as steam poured out of his mouth.

"Come hit me with your bes…" Heart started before being hit by the hammer and sent a few miles into the ground outside the tower. "...Wow...I actually felt that one." He stood up.

"Thor, wait!" Shinnosuke said, grabbing his arm. "You can't fight him!"

"Boy, unhand me, a battle with a warrior worthy to wield this hammer shall not be stopped," he said, shoving Shinnosuke away before spinning his hammer and flying right into Heart.

"Wait!" he shouted as Heart punched Thor, sending him flying back to where he once was. "Heart gets stronger the more you fight him, every time you hit him you'll just make him stronger, to the point he'll overpower you."

"Sounds like the Hulk and I still fight him evenly," he said before pushing Shinnosuke out of the way of a stray shot from Chaser as Iron Man flew circles around him.

"Tsk...this is getting tiresome," Chaser groaned, loading a Viral Core into his Break Gunner.

TUNE CHASER BAT!=

At that...metallic bat wings grew from his back as he flew up and grabbed Iron Man by his neck.

"Okay...didn't see that coming," he admitted as both of them flew through the floor and down the levels of the tower.

=You only told me to study drive and the other guy, sir= Friday informed.

"Friday, not in the mood…"

"Pay attention!" Chaser said as his claws pierced his mask before ripping it off.

"Yeah, yeah, whatever," he said before the unibeam hit Chaser, sending him away.

"How many tricks do you have!" Chaser groaned as he flew back up before grabbing Iron Man's shoulder.

"Lots...huh...why is the room colder?" he asked as ice formed up his armor. "What the hell?!"

=His armor is able to absorb ambient heat, lowering the temperature to absolute 0=

"Huh, I'm impressed," Tony admitted as his armor began to short-circuit. "Uhm…"

=The armor is not meant for this temperature. It is beginning to freeze over and malfunction=

"I can tell," he said. "Now I have another icing problem to solve."

"It shall be your last," Chaser said, aiming his gun at his exposed face.

"You say that, but you forgot something."

"What?"

"Her," Tony replied, and Chaser froze as the Scarlet Witch's red aura covered him.

Chaser struggled to move as he fought against the aura and was pulled away from Iron Man. "What trickery is this?" he asked.

"Do you believe in magic?" the Scarlet Witch asked in English.

"Magic? That is a trick, an illusion on human eyes," he replied, but she didn't understand him, so she did something and his batwings moved and wrapped around him, trapping him in a kind of straightjacket.

"Thanks, kid…" Tony said to Wanda, still covered in ice as he fell to the ground. "Uhm...little help."

"Sugei." Shinnosuke and Kiriko blinked at seeing that.

=Shinnosuke, we have to stop Heart and Thor=

---

"Ok, that hammer hurts a lot more then it should." Heart panted as he fought Thor. He then ducked another blow before grabbing Thor's leg and slamming him into the ground. Making him drop Mjolnir, Heart grabbed him by his head. "Let's be creative. Rather than hit you with the hammer...I'll hit the hammer with you," he said, slamming his face into Mjolnir several times. "There you go."

"That all?"

"How are you still…"

"I told you, Heart of the machine men, I am not a human."

Heart pondered that in his mind before he tossed Thor into the building. "Then...you are no enemy to me," Heart stated plainly.

"Eh, it was that easy?" Drive blinked.

"You, however." Heart motioned to Drive. "Are my enemy."

"Should have seen that coming," Drive muttered.

"Humans taint this world. It's that simple. I won't stop just because I learn there is something else on your side," Heart declared before Chaser was tossed in between them, still trapped by his own wings.

"Hey, buddy," a voice said as Iron Man, Scarlet Witch, Thor, Black Widow and Bruce Banner rallied behind Drive.

"Hehehe...tanoshi." Heart laughed.

"He's not right in the head, is he?" Iron Man asked.

"No...he's just finally adjusted."

"Adjusted?" Black Widow asked

Heart then roared unleashing a powerful shockwave that knocked them all back, as well as scorched the ground in front of him.

"Ow." Drive groaned. "Is everyone all...oh no…" Drive said, seeing Bruce's back on fire.

"Come, Avengers, stand up and face your destruct…" Heart said before seeing Bruce getting bigger and bigger.

"Hulk...smash...ugly red man!" he roared.

"Ohh, well, com…" he started before being grabbed and dragged through the ground.

"Krim, you know what happens when the unstoppable force meets the immovable object, right?" Iron Man asked.

=Naturally= Krim said, feeling the earthquakes.

"Hulk will teach ugly red man not to burn Hulk!" Hulk roared as he and Heart engaged in a fist fight, causing shockwaves with each punch. Heart was a bit confused; despite getting the advantage in terms of power, this Hulk caught up with his strength seconds later.

"What is this human?" Heart asked as he and Hulk struggled to overcome one another. "Ever since I achieved this form no human, especially a naked one, has put me in such a stalemate."

"Ugly Red Man make Hulk mad! Ugly Red Man get smashed!"

"My name is Heart!" Heart countered as their punches clashed again, causing louder and louder shockwaves, forcing everyone to cover their ears.

"Hulk will tear heart out!"

"I already did that…" Drive spoke up. Everyone… even Hulk literally just gawked at him when he revealed that. "What...I needed to set him to self-destruct so he wouldn't be able to hurt people."

"He was willing to kill us both...that's why I like fighting him!" Heart chuckled. "But you are proving a very tough wall...and yet I don't feel joy fighting you."

"Hulk just don't know what to say…" he gawked before being punched away.

"Hulk, you okay?" Drive asked.

"RAHHH!"

"He's okay." Drive muttered.

"Uh-oh...if this goes on he'll go mindless," Iron Man said.

"Mindless?" Drive asked.

"...Trust us, you really don't want that."

"Right…" Drive nodded as Chaser got back up and glared at them before he began shooting. "Ah mou...this is a pain…" he complained as he thought of something and turned to the others. "I have an idea."

"Ok, Wanda, I'll explain what he said...Wido…" Iron Man started before seeing she was already gone to do her part of the plan.

"We'll need to be fast." Drive nodded.

=Then allow me to try something= Krim spoke before a cybernetic noise came from Drive's helmet.

"What did you...wait...am I speaking English?" he asked in perfect English.

=The uplink device should have the ability to translate languages for you,= Krim stated. =It was a random idea that paid off.=

"Ok, Scarlet Witch-san, what can you do exactly?"

"...Fire. Water, wind, and metal, no matter what it is, I can control it as long as I can focus."

"Good," Drive said, "Heart's powers are based off of heat, Chaser is adaptive, but he was meant for the purpose of stopping Heart."

"Stopping?" they all asked.

"Heart is like the Hulk...the longer he goes...the harder he is to stop," he explained seriously. "To the point...his critical state could wipe out the city."

"No wonder you wanted to stop him and Thor," Iron man said. "But ok, what do you need her to...wait, I think i got it."

"We just make sure she focuses," he replied. "When I give you the word...make it so Chaser is aiming at Heart...leave everything else to me. In the off chance I time this wrong...I would like to say...I blame Thor."

"We all do," Iron Man admitted, everyone else nodding in agreement.

"Hey!"

"Yosh...uh...could I say it?" Drive asked Iron Man. "You know...that thing."

"You're not official yet, past this and then you're in," Iron Man said. "Till then, Avengers Assemble!"

"Ah, man…" Drive cried, before shaking it off. "Right...Let's take them for a ride." He leaned on his leg. "Let's go!" He charged at Chaser.

"So now you face me, Kamen Rider!" Mashin Chaser shouted as he charged at him.

"Well, the Scarlet Witch was having so much fun with you I thought you liked her more then me," Drive countered as he ducked under a swing from the Break Gunner aimed at his head. Drive then swung his leg and knocked Mashin Chaser off his feet, sending him to the ground. He then backflipped away before Chaser was struck by lightning. "HA!" Drive shouted as he punched Chaser, sending him stumbling back. "Thank you, Thor!" Before he could continue giving his appreciation, Chaser roared. "Whoa-oh…"

=TUNE: CHASER SPIDER!=

Mashin Chaser raised his arm as a spider-shaped shield with bladed legs forming weapons manifested. Chaser roared as he charged and swung at Drive, who ducked back, letting it fly over his mask. Drive then flipped back and slammed his leg into Chaser's back, sending him stumbling forward.

Drive looked up at Heart, who was laughing happily and then back at an angry Chaser. "Yosh...almost," he said as he got back to his feet and began running to the left, Chaser following as he fired energy beams from between his weapon.

"Come on, Mister Grim Reaper, can't you aim better than that?" Drive taunted as he flipped over another energy beam from his weapon. "Oh...close." He smirked beneath his helmet.

"AH!" Chaser roared as he tapped the barrel of his Break Gunner.

EXECUTION!=

Drive stood his ground as Chaser charged at him, his weapon sparking with energy.

"Yosh…" Drive said as he crouched down slightly.

"Die, Kamen Rider!"

"Gomen but after this I'm a Kamen Avenger," he countered. "Now!" Chaser blinked before he felt the ground under him push him into the air and over Drive. "Ah...phew…"

Chaser gawked at his sudden flight before he looked at where he was heading. "Heart!"

"Huh?" He blinked calmly. "Oh...Chase!" He gawked in horror.

Chase tried to disengage his weapon before the red aura came under him, making him rear it back as he thrust his weapon at Heart, hitting him. The result was a large explosion that sent most everyone stumbling back.

"Hulk miss chance to smash?" Hulk groaned, getting back up.

"There, there," Black Widow said, caressing his cheek.

"Ah…"

Drive groaned as he landed in a tree with Iron Man and Scarlet Witch.

"Ah...thank God...it wasn't as big as last time…" Drive sighed, poking his head out.

Scarlet Witch then focused as they, all covered in her red aura, floated out of the tree.

"To be clear...you were stuck in the ground zero of an even bigger version of that?!" Iron Man asked.

"I was knocked out for 12 hours," Drive replied, "and suffered massive internal damage, I almost died…" He sighed as it were just a small matter.

Let's be glad your android isn't around to be a member of them," Scarlet Witch said, sending a glare at Iron Man.

"Hey...hey…" Iron Man said.

"Ah...we can hash that out later...they're still alive, you know," Drive said as they gawked at Mashin Chaser standing back up.

"You...made me….attack...Heart…" Mashin Chaser roared as his eye flashed purple. "Yurusanai…"

"...Ahahah...Chase...let's go home." Heart in his human form chuckled.

"How...he just blew up!" Iron Man gawked.

"No...his aura just burst...that means next time we'll meet him with twice the power he gained here today," Drive explained.

"Heart, they…"

"This battle taught me something." Heart smiled. "This means there might be humans who can entertain me...and till I find them...I will fight them all!" he shouted. "And when I'm done...no human will be able to defy us." He smirked, his eyes flashing red. "Take this victory and cherish it, Avengers...next time...I will crush you and humanity's hope...then stand up to me! Then you'll see why your race is the evil ones." This last statement got most of the Avengers questioning that wording.

"...Fine," Chase said before glaring at the Scarlet Witch. "You made me attack Heart, I won't forget your face, woman." He growled. "Next time...I'll be sure to kill both you...and the Kamen Rider." At that he waved his hand, causing a large gust of cold wind before his bike drove up for him and Heart to get away on.

"He knows how to hold a grudge," a voice said as everyone turned to see Captain America.

"He's the Roidmude's Guardian, he takes hurting even one of them seriously," Drive explained. "If I had to say it...he's like an evil version of you…" He looked at Captain America. "Wait, when did you…"

"Since they smashed through the gate and attacked you all."

"Then why didn't you?" Iron Man began.

"Lets just say...this was a good way to test the kid," he cut him off by shoving his shield in his face.

"One day...you won't be able to hide behind this thing and I'll be able to talk you into insanity," he complained as his helmet folded back like a hood.

Captain America ignored him and took out a card, giving it to Shinnosuke.

"You showed incredible teamwork and quickly knew how to use everyone's abilities, even setting up backup plans, and everyone was able to trust in you. I knew you be a great addition."

"Thank you." Drive bowed his head.

"Now, now, no need to be so formal, son," Cap said as he pulled back his cowl. "Here, that card is proof you're part of the team." He smiled.

Drive held up the card as it reformed in an image of Shinnosuke's face and his name. It also had an extra image of the Drive Driver in its face mode under that with Krim's name next to it.

"Yes, now I'll finally get away from Kiri…"

"That reminds me, I invited her as a member of security," Steve informed with a smile.

"...Eh?" Drive asked.

"Also, your other friends in the special division will still assist us so you can get use to seeing them and Kiriko, I'm sure you'll be happy, son. Tony, let's you, me, and Krim work on security."

"AH!" Drive shouted as he bashed his helmet into a tree repeatedly, cracking it several times. "Why me!? Why Me?! Why ME?! Why Me!? WHY ME!?" he chanted out, smashing the tree to splinters.

"Is that some Japanese ritual?" Scarlet Witch asked.

"I saw a Japanese imperial soldier do that when i beat up everyone but him while he was using the bathroom," Steve informed.

Hulk walked up to Drive and put a hand on his shoulder. "Hulk is sorry…" he said as Drive hugged him.

"It's unfair…" he cried as Hulk patted his back. Krim unhooked himself and flew to Cap's hand.

=Let's talk security= Krim said.

"I don't think I've seen Hulk comfort someone," Black Widow muttered.

"There, there...it's okay, Driving guy," Hulk said. "Go to happy place or Hulk will smash."

"Thank you, big guy…" Shinnosuke sobbed.

"Hulk do good." He smiled.

---

"Ow-ow-ow…" Heart groaned. "A combination of getting hit by you, that strange hammer, and the green one is painful."

"Don't worry, every time you're injured it gives Medic joy," Chase said. "She loves her job."

"Hehehe...Heart-sama…" Medic giggled with hearts in her eyes as she put her hand to his back, slowly healing his injuries.

"Ah...Medic, you're such a reliable friend...what would I do without you?!" Heart said happily.

"I'll leave you to…" Chase started before the red aura flashed and he held his head as memories flooded into him.

A Black Drive...and Heart...fighting one another in the rain. The Black Drive lost as his belt was knocked off. Chase stumbled around gripping his chest before he fell to his hands and knees, groaning in pain.

"Chase?!" Heart asked, standing and running up to him. "Chase...Chase, what's wrong?!"

"Hanare!" he shouted, pushing Heart away, his eyes flashing purple repeatedly. "Ah...what...what is this memory?!" He panicked as his body flashed and he became a human-looking android with 000 stamped on his chest "...Heart...enemy...no...Kamen Rider enemy...enemy...enemy?" He roared as he turned into Mashin Chaser in a flash and began hitting things. "Ore was...Ore wa...Nande?!" He roared again, crashing through a wall and making Brain scream like a little girl as Mashin Chaser rampaged down the hall.

"Chase?!" Heart called out as he ran after his friend.

---

"What is this?" Shinnosuke blinked.

"Your own private room," Black Widow informed. "As a soldier Cap has that old camp mindset: we live together, we fight together, we eat together, we die together."

"Oh…" Shinnosuke nodded. The room was...well furbished, the furniture was a mix of red and black, and it had most of Shinnosuke's knick-knacks from home. "...Were you guys in my house?"

"I was, how do you think we got that stuff?" Black Widow asked. "Tony paid for the furniture and bed."

"Awesome…" Shinnosuke said as he undid his tie and tossed off his blazer before he just let himself fall on the couch.

"There also Krim's stand for him to sleep at, so this way when you need him he'll be right in arm's reach."

"Thank you…" he said as he got comfy on the couch.

"One word of advice, if you end up in a room with glass figurines...don't break any of them," she said. "We call it the Zoo and no one touches the Zoo."

"Huh...okay...don't break glass...got it," he said with a thumbs-up. "No...zoos…" He muttered something else before he snored himself into sleep.

"Cute kid," she said walking off as the door closed.

---

"Sensei did?"

"Yeah, crazy old guy heard we were coming and he and I made a fair…"

=He threw a wrench at you till you agreed to give him an arc-powered motorcycle so he never needed gas again, didn't he?=

"Yes…he made a game of dodgeball from it!" Tony countered.

"You still have the concussion, I believe." Steve smirked.

"He and Cap get along." Tony groaned. "So he gave us plans for something and gave us what you might need to complete the anti-Heart weapon," Tony said.

=We'll have to work on it...as it stands, Drive has to be the only one to face Heart from now on...lest we run the risk of a Heart that is stronger than the Hulk.=

"Chances are slim...but given you had a part in making them...not as slim as we'd like," Tony said, making Steve sigh in annoyance.

"I don't like any chances," Steve said. "I trust you both to work on it, but we will always test a new Shift Car before using it in the field, your assistant Rinna will arrive tomorrow."

Tony looked around a few times before he checked an empty supply closet. "This is my safe zone...no one tell her that," he said, glaring at the two. Krim and Steve looked at one another before smirking.

"You two dated, didn't you?"

"We promised never to see each other again," he groaned.

=Well looks like another Tony Promise that won't be kept.= Krim smirked.

"Krim...I swear to Einstein…" Tony growled. "...Know what? I don't have time for this, there's something I need to investigate on my own," he said, leaving. "Friday, keep Krim company."

=You got it, Boss=

"Oh, this should be fun." Steve smirked.

---

Shinnosuke woke up from his sleep. "Ah man...what a dream...me an Avenger...heh…" he murmured, walking out of his room in a black shirt and grey jeans. He walked down the hall, yawning.

"Hey, driving guy," Hulk said, drinking a bucket of milk.

"Hey, Hulk." Shinnosuke yawned as he grabbed a bottle of water and walked off. "AH! It wasn't a dream!"

"Huh...new guy's kind of loud," Hulk muttered.

"Verily," Thor said, drinking coffee.

"Let's mess with him." Hulk smirked.

"I already started."

"Ahh, what the hell is that thing?!"

"I let a Frost Giant friend of mine into the tower to chase him around."

"Hehe...nice." Hulk smirked as he ate a giant PB&J sandwich.

Shinnosuke then ran past them before he grabbed his sword and ran back the other way. The sounds of fighting soon followed.

"Oh, no, I should stop them before someone gets killed," Thor said. "Have at thee!"

---

"...Thor and Hulk pranking the kid?" Steve asked, hearing noises.

"Eeyep," Black Widow replied as they got off the elevator.

"What...Thor let Billgy out of his room again?" Steve asked.

"Nope," she replied.

"Frost Giant?"

"Yep."

"Should I be worried?" Steve asked.

"AH!" Drive Type-Wild cried, chasing the Frost Giant.

"Unhand my friend, man of cars!"

"...It's too early for this." Steve sighed.

"Where's Tony?"

"Doing a big mystery investigation. Or helping Mr. Steinbelt with making an Anti-Heart weapon. Either one, wait, no, if Steinbelt's there, then Tony's not here"

"...I wonder what he's up to," Black Widow said in worry. "You talk with Wanda yet?"

"No...she's not awake yet."

"AH!" three voices cried as Drive, Thor, and the Frost Giant were all wrapped in concrete.

"Good evening, lady Scarlet." Thor chuckled.

"Ah...sorry...sorry!" Drive bowed, lifting both his fellow trapped friends with him each time. "I didn't see anything, I swear."

"...What happened?"

"She was hopping out of the shower to retrieve her towel," Thor answered.

"Stop talking!" Drive cried in embarrassment, his armor actually heating up slightly.

=Ah, the cooling system is on the fritz…= Krim spoke. =Or is she making it fitz=

"Care to find out?" Scarlet Witch asked.

"No!" Drive shook his head and body, making Thor and the Frost Giant dizzy.

"Hehe...awesome prank." Hulk chuckled from the kitchen.

"Come on, Hulk, let's leave the kids to play." Black Widow sighed.

"Ah…!" Hulk cried. "Ok, Natasha."

"Wait, he says her name?" Drive blinked.

"Driving guy need to think before speaking," Hulk warned.

"Hai!" he shouted.

---

"Is that all your info regarding him?" Tony asked a reporter. "I mean I hope you're not holding out given our old history, Nanami."

"You bribed me with an exclusive interview with the Avengers I exchanged for my info," she said with a sigh.

"I know, but I need to know about this guy in Techno Isle," he informed. "From what I hear, you and your new female photographer were saved by him more times then i had to save you."

"Tony, he is actually our first resident hero, most of our guys seem to vanish and return when shit is really going bad, but he stays," Nanami replied, and the admiration in her tone couldn't be mistaken.

"I still can't believe crime is happening in Techno Isle after all I did to make it crime-free."

"..Listen, I can't promise you anything, the guy comes when people call for help, it's like he knows when we're in danger." she explained. "I'd love to help, I really would, but unless you got trouble he's not showing." She paused. "...Listen, it was great to see you again, Tony, but I do have stories to work on."

"Sure, you do," he said as he walked towards his armor that opened up. "...Chika.." He sighed in sadness.

=Boss?=

"Nothing, Friday, let's get home."

---

"Everyone gave their consent, so here are files on your teammates so you know their history," Steve told Shinnosuke. "Also, I expect you to study the files of our old enemies. If they survived the incident, they will come after us."

"Yes, sir." Shinnosuke nodded.

"Know that we don't kill our enemies. Some of the team don't mind it, but we try to set an example."

"Hai." Shinnosuke nodded as he sat down and looked over the files before noticing something. "Uhm...Captain…" he called to him.

"You can use my name. kid."

"Uhm...I noticed something...where is Hawkeye?"

"He...needed to be with his family."

"I see…" Shinnosuke nodded.

"But trust me ,when we really need him, he's there."

"Hulk miss Bow guy," Hulk muttered from his spot in the corner while sipping juice.

"He misses you, too," Black Widow said, patting his shoulder. "Come on, it's time for your play time."

"Smash time." He grinned as he and Widow left.

"...They are totally in love with each other, aren't they?" Shinnosuke asked.

"Yup...expert deductive reasoning…" Steve muttered. The file said Shinnosuke's deductive reasoning skills were insanely accurate, to the point he could figure out cases with nothing more than two scraps of paper.

"It says here Wanda has a brother, what happened to him?"

"He was killed while saving Hawkeye's life."

"Eh?" Shinnosuke blinked.

"Truth be told, I think you and him might have gotten along...you both loved moving fast, and were pretty much the smartest guy in the room...in a sense," Steve muttered. "But...guess in the end the thing making you both similar...is how far you'll go to save people."

"...Wanda has no one but this team, does she?"

"Yeah, we're trying our best to be a family for her." He sighed. "She lost her parents, her brother, and her country, and she's just a kid, we're trying our best."

"Hm…" Shinnosuke nodded.

"Well, guess now she has another kid to relate to." Steve chuckled.

"Hey...I'm 24…" he complained in Japanese.

"And I'm in my 90s, you're all kids to me, son," he amiably rejoined in Japanese, making Shinnosuke chuckle with embarrassment. "Now excuse me, I need to investigate what Tony is hiding."

"Hai." He smiled as he went back to his 'homework.'

---

"What happened to Chase, any ideas?" Heart asked.

"Hmm, I investigated and it seems the Scarlet Witch's energy can have a mind-altering effect," Brain explained. "In summarization, Scarlet Witch's powers caused the shoddy reprogramming Medic did to come undone."

"I can't believe I can't fix it."

"We are dealing with so-called magic," Brain said, smugness in his tone. Oh, how he loved the fact Medic was so frustrated.

"What can we do?"

"I have no idea, he's dangerous and at this rate he'll either go insane or he'll remember everything." Brain sighed.

"Either way, he'll become a danger to us all," Medic said before she smiled and looked at Heart. "We should do away…"

"NO!" Heart snapped.

"Enemy...enemy...enemy.." Chase muttered in his Mashin Chaser form, his arms held up by chains that electrocuted his armor, keeping it in a permanent stasis lock.

"I shall not abandon my friend...find a way to fix him!" he shouted at Brain and Medic. "No matter what...find a way...anything! Just fix my friend!"

"...There is one of our friends…" Brain said. "She's been helpful in, I guess you can say expanding our other friends' minds, giving them more emotions."

"Ugh…" Medic scoffed in disgust at who Brain might be implying.

"Hmm, Chase has lacked emotions...his single mindset could be why this 'virus' is hurting him so much," Heart agreed as he calmed down a little. "Brain...get in contact with our friend and see if she might know of something to help. At this point I'll take anything."

"But of course, Heart, leave it to me." Brain smirked before giving a smug look at Medic, who just grit her teeth at him. "I never let you down, have I?"

"Not once, my old friend." Heart smiled. Brain gave an even more smug look at Medic, who looked like she was about to pop a vein...if androids even had any.

"Enemy!"

"Medic, calm him down," Heart requested.

"Hai Heart-sama," she said sweetly, breaking away from her glaring contest with Brain.

---

=Tony= Krim's voice in the Shift Speed Car spoke.

"..oh...hey." He sighed, taking a drink. "What's up Science Bro?"

=I was worried...you're never this...melancholy.= Krim spoke.

"Had to visit some graves today," he said. "Lost three good people here last time I visited Japan, a woman I loved, a Japanese Captain America." He chuckled. "And...the man who made me Iron Man."

=Ah...I remember that event…= Krim sighed. =Your coming to town was a surprise...more so when things escalated the way they did...so soon=

"I came to create that Techno Isle and look what one simple good will cause."

=Yes...you had a bad experience.=

"Yeah, I don't wanna talk about it...yet, if you don't mind." He sighed, looking at files. "I got these from Cap, he's asking if I can look into that missing Godzilla."

=I rather like to think he's dead=

"A lot of dangers out there my friend...would you believe me if i told you I may have discovered a race of shapeshifters disguised as animals and machines?"

=I'm willing to believe anything since the Zawame City incident,= he admitted.

"Yeah," he said, "listen. I know this will take time to get used to but I'm glad you're here."

=...Give it some time and i may agree= Krim chuckled. =Now...I think we have had enough talk of philosophical things=

=Boss, G-Force has delivered their Mechagodzilla=

"Thanks, Friday."

The Type Speed car turned to Tony.

"What...what?" he asked. "You're in a car and yet I know you're giving me that same look. The same look like that time I wanted to make a nuclear drill to see the center of the earth...hey, you stopped me, didn't you?"

=What is your intention with a Mechagodzilla?=

"It's just...a safety measure," he replied.

=Hmm…=

"You're doing it again!" he cried, pointing at the car.

=Mister Steinbelt, it was Cap's request, Japan seems to attract giant threats and he and Tony agreed 'when in Rome'= Friday informed.

=Hm…= Krim still gave him the look.

"Good god...how do you do that through a toy car?!"

=It seems rather easy,= Friday spoke...and now Tony felt like his own AI was giving him that look, before she showed Krim Tony's other giant Iron Man armors. =Just so you know, he does this, anyway ,but you can supervise and assist since his other Science Bro spends half the year as a giant bomb=

=Ok, maybe it'll be fun being an inventor again...but you need to tell me what you're hiding from us all, what are you investigating?=

"Not gonna drop that, are you?" he asked.

=Are you gonna stop making Iron Man suits?=

"Touche…" he groaned. "Ok, there's someone doing the job my security system in Techno Isle was supposed to do," he informed, "and he's, well, he had my attention. So I kept info and footage of him from escaping Techno Isle."

=Abusing power, now there's the tony I despise=

"You know it." Tony smirked.

---

"Ugh…" Shinnosuke groaned as he rubbed his neck while walking down the hall. "I don't think I want to fight that kang guy," he grumbled as he entered the kitchen to see Hulk eating another sandwich. "Hey, Hulk." He yawned, grabbing a soda.

"Hello, Tomari-san." kiriko smiled cooking.

"AH!" Shinnosuke panicked, juggling his soda from the surprise.

"Hi, Kiriko." Hulk waved.

"Why do you keep remembering girls' names?"

"Hulk has unique way of learning."

"Fair enough." Shinnosuke sighed, opening his soda, only for it to spray all over his face.

"Ahahahaha!" Hulk laughed.

"Not funny…"

"Hulk laughed," he countered. "Or would you rather he smash?"

"Nope, nope, go ahead and laugh." He sighed.

"Driving guy can learn." Hulk laughed, patting Shinnosuke's back and knocking him over. "Oops…"

"I'm okay," Shinnosuke said with a thumbs-up Hulk returned.

"Wanda-san, let me in," Kiriko requested. "I heard you were reading files."

"Wanda doesn't like company in room," Hulk spoke up as Shinnosuke sat next to him, Hulk handing him another sandwich...Hulk-sized, of course. "And Wanda likes being seen naked even less."

"...Tomari-san, please stand."

"Ah, save me, Hulk!" he cried, hugging the Green Goliath.

"Huh?" Bruce blinked as he was being hugged.

"Ah, nuts…" Shinnosuke muttered as he and Bruce held each other, feeling that murderous intent.

"Oh, good, there you are," Steve said as Kiriko stopped. "Drive, suit up, we're making a public announcement of your membership."

"Hai!"

"I'll go with him!" Bruce said as both ran out of there in a blur. Then Bruce walked back in and grabbed the Sandwich. "What...I'm hungry…" He ran off again, holding the sandwich.

---

"Ahem….Japan, my name is Captain America," Steve Rogers spoke into the mic. "i am here to announce the Avengers' intentions." Reporters began snapping pictures of him and all the Avengers together as he spoke. "The Avengers...are looking to expand, and bring in heroes...not just from America, but from all over the globe. Now...more than ever we need to band together. And I'm happy to introduce our first international member. One of the famous protectors of Japan. People of Japan and the world over...say hello to the…" He paused to read the notes Tony left him. "The Driving Avenger! Kamen Rider Drive!"

At that roaring was heard as Tridoron approached the crowd. It then flipped over all of them and landed behind the avengers. The driver's door opened slowly as Drive Type-Speed stepped out, his crimson armor flashing brightly with all the lights from the cameras. His eyes lit up along with the blue strip down the center of his helmet, then faded off as he walked forward to stand in front of Captain America. Drive then raised his arm to his helmet to salute the famous hero.

"What you do and say next is up to you, no matter your decision we're with you," Steve whispered as he let Drive take the mike.

"Hai…" Drive nodded as he took his place looking out at the crowd. He quickly coughed into his glove...even though he has a helmet on. "Japan...ore wa Kamen Rider Drive," he said simply. "Ano ne...this is awkward…" He chuckled, scratching the back of his helmet. "All my life, I dreamed of being a hero like Captain America-san...and to protect people...and now I am in a way." He paused again, as everyone waited patiently for his next words. "Everyone in the world knows who they are...but no one knows me. Until now you all have known of me as an urban legend...a rumor. Now...here I am exposing myself in plain view of cameras streaming my voice and mask all over the globe. So...I figured I'd say something, just 'cause I wear a mask...to hide who I am...doesn't mean it makes it my weakness." As he spoke, he grabbed the car in his brace...taking a very deep breath.

=Shinnosuke?=

"To prove that point...please take a good look," he said, taking out the Shift Car and pressing the button.

His armor flashed and faded away to reveal Shinnosuke, only instead of his normal three-piece suit, he was clad in more casual clothing of a black shirt, jeans, and a racing jacket colored in red with his symbol stitched on the shoulder and back. However, he still wore his tie around his neck.

"My name...is Tomari Shinnosuke, I'm a police officer for the Metro Police Department in Tokyo, Japan. I am a member of the Special Investigation Unit," he spoke as people gasped and took pictures. "As a police officer...as a Kamen Rider, and now as an Avenger…" He paused as he looked at everyone. He then held his left hand out. "I'm going to be the one who runs fast enough to protect people. I'm new to this whole global hero thing...but I promise to always be in Top Gear."

---

"How cute," a voice said watching this on a TV screen he then walked past, covered in a crimson cowl. "So they think they can become stronger by adding more rats to the family...well, they can play all they want. I'll be ready, I'll just sit back and wait." The voice chuckled grimly. "After all, they have friends. I should take time to build mine, no strings on any of them."

---
