Blade Brave
GammaTron: This is a part of the 'Count the Medals' Zone, taking place years before it. It's a Sonic version of Kamen Rider Blade. I own no one nor the Sonic the Hedgehog series nor Kamen Rider series. Alpha is owned by Kamen Rider Duelist.
"Wh…What is this?"
"Rrrraaaagh!-!-!"
"Get down! Black Wave!"
"Gwraaah!-!-!"
"Doom, it…it's fallen into the vat!"
"Sirs! The beast is somehow stabilizing the DNA."
"Interesting…"
An eye opened up. The burning scarlet eye focused on the white ceiling. The figure slowly got up from his bed, revealing it to be an obsidian and crimson humanoid hedgehog. He wore a pair of white gloves. Gold rings were on his wrists with a strap of red and black leather emerging from them. On his feet were a pair of white shoes with red metal adorning the soles and outside of the bottom half of them. On the soles of his shoes were small rockets. He scratched the patch of white fur on his body before a barely noticeable smile appeared on his tan muzzle. He always enjoyed the mornings upon awakening. They were true peace to him. He got up and looked at various photos. Each of them consisted of various pictures of a family of three, a Human, a Mobian, and their daughter. He looked down at his left hand and let out a small sigh of regret. He got up for another day of living. He slid on a brown jacket and put a small camera into his left pocket. His mind flashed through brief images of a winged creature, shots, and a figure in red and gold for an instant.
"Another one appears…" the Hedgehog sighed.
The sound of an engine roared across the beach. Driving upon it was a blue and white motorcycle. Upon it was an armored figure. He was clad in a blue bodysuit with silver armor and spades depicted on the shoulders and chest. His helmet was blue save for the silver face and the single horn rising from it. The eyes were two red orbs in which he could see through. On his left arm was a black box which was attached to his gauntlet and had a clear panel on the front with a slit at the side for something to slide out of it. Holstered at his left hip was the sword known as the Blay Rouzer. The weapon itself was oddly shaped since the front was boxlike with a spade on it with a handle on the back for holding the weapon. It was similar to the sabers which past generations had used. The morning sun reflected off the armor as the figure within it not even noticing the rising sun.
A figure slowly scaled down a cliff side. His jumpsuit, harness, and helmet were all a solid gold. The helmet barely hid away his green quills. He had a lead on his story and he wasn't going to lose it.
Sirens were going off as various screens depicted multiple images. Before one screen was a Mobian squirrel. Her fur was a gentle brown with wavy brown hair. Her eyes were a soft green and her tail was long and bushy. She wore a black business dress and a set of headphones with microphone.
"Elias-kun, your mark is Southwest at twenty kilometers!"
-Roger, Megan-chan!- the rider confirmed as he gunned the motor on the screen before her.
Another screen depicted Japan before closing in on a location. She turned to it as it depicted a virtual outline of the landscape. The main thing upon it was a small triangle that was pointing down with the word 'Undead' above it.
Two figures were fighting in the room. The first was donned in a red bodysuit with silver chest armor which had a large diamond imprinted on the front. His shoulders were covered with pointed silver armor with more diamonds engraved on them. His arms and legs were covered with silver gauntlets. At his waist was a large gun with a diamond-shaped barrel. His helmet had a pair of green eyes and a silver face. On top of the helmet were two horns which were styled to look similar to what a stag beetle would sport. The second was donned in black armor which looked like muscle cords with a black mask which revealed large fangs. Its hands looked like large bat wings which were partially folded up. It had a slight Mohawk on its head and its feet were confined in black leather with claws sticking out. The ornate belt it was wearing also signaled what the monster was. The two were fighting each other, the headlights of a red and white motorcycle with yellow-orange headlights.
"Hurry, Elias-kun. Valdez-san is being pushed back," Megan informed as she watched a screen of the two fighting with a large Mobian Mammoth wearing a gray business suit.
"Do you want to save Valdez?" the mammoth asked calmly.
-Then hurry, Kamen Rider Blade-
-Elias-kun, your mark is Southwest ten kilometers. Hurry!-
The climber made it to the entrance of a cavern. His blue eyes looked about, trying to find what he needed to find. The sounds of bats screeching and fighting caught his ears. Inside the cavern, the armored warrior did a kick to the Bat Kaijin before a swarm of bats began to attack him. The Kaijin batted the armored figure away and began to approach him just before a wall exploded, revealing Blade riding onto the scene. He knocked away the Kaijin and stopped his vehicle.
"Valdez-san!"
"Your highness!"
"Are you okay, Vald-I mean!-Garren-san?" Blade asked as he looked at the Kaijin.

Category 1: Shikon no Senshi (The Indigo Warrior)
The Kaijin spread its wings out and took flight with the bats. Garren open fired as he approached, only for the bats to block his shots. The shots caused a piece of the ceiling shattered, revealing a flash of light. The Bat Kaijin hissed and flew away from the light. Blade and Garren quickly drove after them. The Hedgehog poked his head out from behind a set of rocks. He quickly ran after them.
Ahead of him, the two riders chased after the Kaijin going deeper into the cave. Garren took the lead and took out his blaster. He began to open fire until he nailed the Kaijin in the gut. Blade took out his sword and threw it like a javelin. It struck one of the wings and hit the ceiling. Blade held his hand up and grabbed it as they drove by, the Kaijin collapsing. The two got off their bikes and Blade opened his the guard of his sword, revealing it to resemble a set of cards fanned out. Under the red design was a series of cards with only a few having pictures. Blade took out a single card and slashed it through an opening on his blade.
=TACKLE=
The card turned into a blue energy and went into his body. The Kaijin slowly got up as a blue aura erupted off Blade. He charged at the Kaijin, only to be batted to the side.
"You're no match for it, your highness," Garren informed as he open fired, "Watch!"
Garren unfolded a card-themed holder on his gun. He took out two cards and slashed them through his gun.
=DROP=
=FIRE=
Garren charged at the Kaijin. He made a spinning flip into the air as his legs ignited. He struck the Kaijin in the neck and shoulders with his attack. The Kaijin screamed in agony as it stumbled back, floods of green blood spraying out of it. The buckle, depicting two snakes eating each other's tails, opened up, revealing a strange '8' in the center.
"Category 8, huh?" Garren pondered as he opened his gun up once more to pull out a card depicting a red background with chains over it, "Interesting!"
With that, he flicked the card at the bat. The green blood turned into smoke and slowly entered the card. The Kaijin groaned as its body was sucked into it. The card shot back to Garren, the image depicting a bat instead of chains.
"What was that card?" the hedgehog whispered nearby.
"Your highness…" Garren turned to his bike, "Fighting blind is no good."
"H…Hai!" Blade nodded.
The red Kamen Rider pulled a lever on his belt. The diamond image flipped to reveal a card depicting a beetle with a Diamond for its back. He took out the card and held it out. His armor glowed before shattering, revealing a blue Mobian Chameleon with gold eyes, blue scales, a red beret, boots, and gloves with a scarlet scarf.
"Don't be naïve," Valdez ordered.
Blade performed the same action as Valdez did with his belt and card. His depicted another beetle but with a gold spade. His armor shattered to reveal a Mobian Squirrel/Chipmunk. He wore a blue jacket with a red shirt under it, jeans, and red and blue running shoes. His tail wagged a bit as his blue eyes were filled with a sense of awe at the chameleon.
"Valdez-san, you sure are wise. I can barely keep up with you," Elias noted as Valdez put a biker's helmet on as he got on his bike.
Valdez just gave a nod. He proceeded to drive off. Elias got on his bike and began to put his helmet on.
"But your entrance was cool…" the hedgehog noted as he came out of hiding.
"Aw crud! Who are you?" the mix groaned.
"Afterwards though, you were completely hopeless."
"What are you saying?-!" Elias frowned.
"Nice to meet you. I'm Shirai-Hino Alpha."
"Hino? You mean Hino of the Hedgehog Kingdom of Christmas Island? The one in the middle of a Civil War?" Elias asked.
"Yep! Nice to meet you at last, Elias Acorn, eldest of Maximillian Acorn, ruler of the Acorn Kingdom in England," Alpha grinned, "But I just like to be known as Alpha."
"Elias then."
"I'm aiming at becoming a science non-fiction and fiction writer. I apologize, but you're now going to be my subject."
"Subject?-!"
"I've always been investigating you guys. Legendary men in armor fighting violent battles against mysterious LifeForms and Organizations! A man who walks the path of the Kamen Riders!" Alpha continued.
"I don't know!"
"I thought it was just a rumor but…here you are!"
"What are you talking about?-!" Elias demanded as the two ran around his motorcycle.
"Wait…Where are you going? Hey! What are you doing?-! Matte!"
"I don't want to be part of your 'subject!'" Elias argued as he started the engine.
"But you're my subject!" Alpha argued as he tried to get the key to the engine.
"Hey! Le…Let go!"
"But I finally found you!" Alpha begged before Elias managed to drive away, "Matte! Oi!"
A gate began to open up as Elias drove up to it. He waited until it opened up all the way before driving into the large pathway. He stopped his bike before a large building with a sign that had the word 'BOARD' above the sliding doors. Elias got off his bike and walked inside. As he walked by a plant, he took out a cell phone and the screen flashed the symbol. He went up a flight of stairs and pressed his hand on a part of the railing, the scanner in it giving him recognition. He came across two large doors, showing glass pictures of the Virgin Mary and Jesus Christ on the sides. He stood before the Virgin Mary and it glowed. Within seconds, his retinal scan was cleared. The door opened to reveal a sterilized hallway. Within the various rooms in that hallway were multiple experiments and studies taking place.
"This is the third time in two months…" Valdez noted as he put the Scope Bat, the image within moving slightly, on the desk, "The third time we operated against the Undead."
"We're acting more and more…" Megan glared at the mammoth behind the desk, "What the hell are those Kaijin?"
"All you need to do is focus all your power in sealing them. We'll handle the investigating," the mammoth replied.
"Investigate, huh?" Valdez scowled.
"Mogul-san, I understand the Rouze Card System works against them, but…" Elias began.
"What is it, Valdez…What do you want to say?"
"There's something I've been debating. You had me 'saved' pretty quickly…So you sent the prince as backup. Don't you believe in my power?" Valdez asked.
"No…I believe in your power," Mogul informed "But…thinking of that one in ten thousand chance…"
Vale just scowled at the mammoth. He turned to start walking away.
"However…you were very impressive, Valdez-san. Of course you're very cool."
"Let me ask you one thing…"
"Hai."
"What are you fighting for?" Valdez asked as he looked at the mix, "Why did you become a Rider?"
"I was asked to be part of this, but it's mainly to protect Megan-chan and the lives of this world," Elias replied.
Mogul chuckled quietly as Megan blushed. It was no surprise that the two were in a relationship to him or anyone else that worked at the Board Of Archaeological Research Department. It took a little for the Mobian Squirrel to let herself be in a relationship again since she had broken up with her last boyfriend. Mogul frowned as he recalled that Mobian and the abuse Megan had gone through. He couldn't even get her to just take a vacation since she was just leaving the first part of her trimester of pregnancy. Why she didn't just abort the bastard's kid he'd never know.
"Don't be so innocent, prince," Valdez scowled as he walked off, "That is my one warning.
Alpha finished drying off his quills. He looked at a screen, showing an interesting page.
"'Board Of Archaeological Research Department. Also known as 'BOARD.' This lab is the reason why mankind has survived…It's still argued and has not yet been solved…With whatever is the main cause…'" Alpha typed in a Word Document, "'This mystery is under investigation.'"
He paused from his writing to take a deep drink from a bottle of milk. He couldn't help but think about it. Why does his research involve the Kamen Riders, which he wanted to know? Moreover, the Kaijin… He chose to think over it more as he reclined in a recliner near his computer.
Elias hit his head on a streetlight for the fifth time in the three minutes. He knew he should have paid for four months, not two. At the moment, he and Megan were on the street with multiple suitcases with them-two of which the ones with their clothes, were stacked to let Megan have a seat to sit on.
"I never did like that shitty old hag," Elias muttered.
"Careful, Elias-kun you don't want her to hear you muttering it again," Megan giggled when she saw him stiff up in fear.
"Looks like you're in trouble again, Eli," the two looked to the left of Megan to see Alpha, reclining on a bike and wearing a gold jacket.
"You again!" Alpha exclaimed.
"Well, I'll have to ask a few people, but I could offer you two a place to stay," Alpha offered.
"Really? Well that's nice," Megan smiled.
"This is the guy I was telling you about, Megan-chan."
"That's your house?" Elias blinked as Alpha was opening up a gate to a large field.
"That's right," Alpha replied as the two men pulled their two-wheeled vehicles along the path, Megan holding only a purse while the bikes had the suitcases strapped to them, "My foster parents are dead, so it was left to my Uncle Chuck who gave it to me last year as a Birthday Gift…along with a cake. He just loves making those things."
"So you live alone?" Megan asked.
"Yep. But my Uncle and foster sisters sometimes visit," Alpha smiled, "Uncle Chuck told me that I may meet a twin I had to be separated from when we were kids."
'It must have been the Civil War…' Elias thought, "You sure you're name's not 'Eiji,' right?"
"No. Why?"
"My sister's engaged to a Hino Eiji," Elias recalled.
"That's the name of my twin? You met him before?"
"A long while ago, just a bit after the ARK thing," Elias explained, "You know, you two look like the inverse of each other."
"Huh?"
"He has emerald eyes and cobalt quills. You have emerald quills and cobalt eyes," Elias explained.
"Ah…So what do you think about my long-lost twin?"
"He's a good hedgehog, but isn't for my sister," Elias noted, "He's a guy who lives free and to be himself, bringing out one's true personality after they spend some time with him. Sally's more into rules and regulations while having her way."
"Pardon me for saying this, but your sister's a stick in the mud."
"That's what I said when he told me about her," Megan giggled.
"Oh. We're here," Alpha smiled.
The three stopped before a fairly large home. It was about three stories in height with a red roof. Everything on the outside appeared to have been made with tender and care not even revealing a hint of age. Outside of it was an old black Daihatsu Charmet.
"Sugoi…That looks cool!" Elias noted as they walked by the car.
"Yeah! But it doesn't start…" Alpha noted.
"The house also looks in good condition," Megan examined.
"Uncle Chuck had the place fixed up when he received it," Alpha explained as they walked inside.
"But why do you want to help us?" Megan asked.
"According to my research, you were an orphan, madam, so you have no one to rely on to get a new home. For you, Elias-san, you asked your father, King Maximillian Acorn, to not give you monetary support."
"It's true," Elias noted as he put a suitcase beside a wall, "I wanted to experience how true lives experience life. And I don't regret it at all."
"I can see why," Alpha chuckled, "The people I talked about involving you two said that both of you are kind and caring to everyone you meet."
"You've been doing research on us?" Megan asked.
"I already know that Elias-san really is a Kamen Rider and that you two are in a relationship, so I'll give you both separate rooms if you're not comfortable being together."
"It's fine," Megan smiled, "Our old apartment had just one bedroom."
"Good. In trade, I just want some information. Fair trade, right?" Alpha grinned as he brought in the last of the suitcases.
"About that…What we do can't go public," Elias frowned.
"I know that! I'll just set it up as a fictional story with different names," Alpha replied, "That and I'm not going to publish it until I get your OK. Is that still good?"
"Really?" Elias chuckled as he pulled out a chair for Megan to sit in before sitting in another chair.
"The weather's nice, but in the north the chill comes in…It's getting pretty cold today," Alpha noted, "It might get one or two degrees below zero. It'd be pretty painful sleeping outside, especially when you are with child."
"I get it! I get it! I get it already!" Elias barked.
"About what?"
"That we're going to live here in trade of telling you what's okay to reveal and what isn't okay to reveal," Elias sighed as Alpha went into the kitchen and got a bottle of milk, "Okay?"
"Roger!" Alpha grinned.
The black hedgehog drove along a path, riding upon a Honda XR250, towards a medium-sized structure. He got off and removed his helmet. He proceeded to walk inside to see the restaurant was somewhat empty.
"So he's a hero who fights for all the lives in the world."
"A Kamen Rider?"
The hedgehog stopped in mid step and turned to a table. There, sitting in two chairs, were two figures. The first was Alpha. The other was a young human girl, around 8. She wore a yellow shirt under a pink jacket and skirt. Her black hair was done in a ponytail. What truly differentiated her from others was that she had fox ears and a fox tail.
"That guy and his girlfriend are living in my house from now on. Isn't that cool, Amane-chan?" Alpha grinned.
"Sugoi! How interesting!" the girl smiled, "Can I meet him?-! When can I?"
"At my house," Alpha chuckled as he patted the girl's head.
"Why are you saying such silly things?"
Alpha looked up to see a human woman approach. Her onyx hair went down to her hips. She wore a white shirt with an auburn skirt that went down to her ankles, letting her black slippers be shown.
"In a change of subject, are you still working? You haven't found a publisher."
"It's all right, Haruka-Oneechan. I have already found my inspiration."
"Really?" the woman asked as she put two cups of milk on the table.
"And I'm already setting up my book now. Just imagine. It's going to be an awesome Best Seller! Oh…I really hope that Eiji-san will be able to find the book," Alpha excitedly spoke, "I even have a lead!"
"You do?"
"Oh yeah! He's got cobalt quills and emerald eyes," Alpha smiled, "Haruka-Oneechan and Amane-chan…I'm going to make you guys happy with this book."
"Arigatou," Haruka smiled gently.
"Tadaima," the hedgehog greeted as he walked up.
"Okaerinasai (Welcome Home), Shadow-Niichan!" Amane waved excitedly.
"Okaerinasai. How did the photographing go?"
"It was a bit difficult, Mrs. Kurihara," Shadow replied.
"Eh? Isn't that my dead brother-in-law's camera?" Alpha pondered, "So you've begun work as a photographer?"
"I'm still quite the amateur," Shadow admitted.
"That's all right, no one's good at first," Alpha shrugged as Haruka looked at an old photo.
"He was also pretty bad," Haruka recalled, "Before marriage, all the photos of me were so terrible looking."
"But I liked that clumsiness about him. And then he got married…"
"I see…" Haruka smiled at her brother, "I guess. …Why'd he die so early? Laving this beautiful wife…and kawaii child behind."
"Haruka-Oneechan…"
"Gomen. Being fatalistic doesn't suit me."
"I'm the useless little brother, demo…"
"That's right!" Haruka and Amane said in unison, making Shadow chuckle a bit.
"But I worry over these two," Alpha continued with a twitch to his eye.
"You mean yourself," Haruka winked her eye.
"That's why I came to help you. From now on, I'll be your bodyguard."
"I'll…Be fine in my room," Shadow slumped.
"Oh, yes, Shadow-kun, you have guests over there," Haruka informed as she pointed in a direction.
Shadow looked in that direction and he felt his good mood go completely south. Sitting at a table were two figures and a large crimson and obsidian robot with a yellow head and red optics. The male of the three seemed to be in his late-fifties/early-sixties with silver military hair. He wore a green military uniform with white gloves and black shoes. His left eye was blue while the right was gold. The other was a Mobian Bat with white fur and bronze muzzle, shoulders, upper arms, and bust. The reason Shadow knew this was because her black jumpsuit with pink and white heart on her chest left everything above her ample bust revealed bronze fur. Many a Mobian woman would easily be jealous of how her figure was shaped as. Perfect hourglass. She had a bit of a worried look in her sapphire eyes. From halfway down her upper arms were a pair of white gloves with pink hearts over the hands. Her legs had white boots with the tips ending with pointed pink hearts and pointed heels.
"Rouge. Omega," Shadow nodded to the bat and then the robot before glaring at the man, "Brat."
"That's Commander, hedgehog," the man spat.
"If it's all the same for you three, let's get straight to the point: I am perfectly fine living here, renting my room by doing photography. I refuse to join GUN. Finally, leave me alone."
"You know that will be impossible. You are considered a high-class threat until you join GUN," the Commander scowled.
"Please, Shadow, just consider it," Rouge spoke.
"Again, I am perfectly happy here," Shadow replied before taking a picture of Rouge and Omega, "Mrs. Kurihara and Amane-sama do not care that I am called a high-class threat or do you not recall Mrs. Kurihara kicking you out with just a lipstick container, Brat."
"This isn't over, Freak," Commander spat before stomping out.
"Oh, before I forget. Brat!"
The Commander turned to snap at the hedgehog only to get a flash from the camera. Shadow gave the developed picture to Haruka. She let the picture develop before walking to a board with three pictures. She put the pin in and smirked.
"I'll go inform the cops that you added another guy to the Ban List," Alpha rolled his eyes before walking over to a telephone on the counter.
"This isn't over, Freak," the Commander growled as he left.
"See you again, Shadow," Rouge spoke as she followed.
-Thank you for the Oil Tea- Omega informed as he followed.
Shadow just nodded. He proceeded to the stairs and went down the right stairs. Above them was a sign reading 'Private Property – No Trespassing.'
"What's his problem and what was with that guy and the cute lady?" Alpha asked.
"Those three are a part of the Guardian Unit of Nations, or GUN," Haruka explained, "They've been trying to have Shadow-kun go with them. They even told us about him being some sort of threat."
"He saved everyone!" Amane frowned, "And that guy keeps calling him a threat and a freak!"
"That's terrible," Alpha frowned.
"As for his problem, he's just shy. It's alright. He's a good guy."
"Alpha, how many times do I have to tell you? Why can't you be as cool as Shadow-Niichan?"
"Amane-chan…Why are you always addressing your Uncle by just his first name?" Alpha whined.
"If you want to be called with a '-san' on your name…you should become a more respectable person."
"Well said, Amane," Haruka giggled as she patted her daughter's head.
"Kamen…Rider…" Shadow whispered in his room.
He walked into another room in his room. He closed the door and turned the light on, making the room his Red Light Room for picture development. A card fell out of his pocket. It depicted a mantis inside a heart. For a split second, Shadow had been replaced with a Human-sized, black and red-armored figure.
Elias looked out at the window, watching the half moon shine its light. He ran a hand through a resting Megan's hair. He thought back to what Valdez said earlier. To protect the lives of the Earth and the Earth itself…His thoughts were cast aside when his and Megan's phones rang.
"Moshi-moshi?"
-Elias-san, it's terrible! BOARD is under attack! Please hurry!-
Elias's eyes widened, "Understood! I'm coming!
"Elias-kun…" Megan mumbled as she began to get up, "Wha…Wha go'ng on?"
"An Undead's in BOARD," Elias replied before kissing her cheek, "Stay here."
"An Undead?-!" Megan gasped, "I'll keep track on my laptop. Go out there and seal it."
"Understood," Elias nodded before he ran out.
"Alpha, get in here!" Megan shouted as she knocked on a wall.
"Eh? Huh? What now?" Alpha groaned as he walked into the room.
"You're going to see what a Rider Operator does," Megan smirked.
"…Awesome! I'll go get my notebook!" Alpha cheered.
"First things first. Activating the security cameras…" Megan noted before her eyes widened, "…It can't be…"
Sirens blared as Elias drove onto the compound. He drove up to the building just as the door exploded. Emerging from it was a Kaijin. It was thin with black leather armor over its chest, but left green flesh uncovered on the abdomen. Its arms were likewise green while its legs were covered in black with spikes coming from its calves. Locust-like wings sprouted from its back while its face was covered in a black metallic mask which sported insect features, including antennae.
"All…killed…" the Undead growled.
"No…You Kaijin!" Elias roared.
He pulled out his buckle and slid his Ace into it. A series of cards erupted from the belt and attached to his waist, forming a belt.
"Henshin!" Elias shouted as he pulled the lever, revealing his gold Spade.
=TURN UP=
The Undead was sent backwards by a screen of blue energy the image on the card showing on it. Elias took a few breaths before running though the screen. As he ran through it, his body transformed into Kamen Rider Blade.
He delivered a right hook to the Kaijin's face. He began to punch and kick the Undead relentlessly before pulling out his Blay Rouzer. He got a few slashes in before the Undead began to release a barrage of jumps and kicks on the Kamen Rider many attacks parried. The Undead grabbed his sword and kicked Blade away. Blade slowly got up before spotting something.
"Valdez-san! What are you watching?" Blade demanded as he began to dodge the kicks and swipes the Undead sent at him, "Valdez-san…Why are you doing this and not helping me?-!" Blade demanded as he managed to get the Kaijin in a headlock, "You and I…aren't we friends?-!"
"…" Garren got up and walked away.
"Valdez-san…it can't be…" Blade gasped before he began to unleash a barrage of kicks and punches to the Locust Undead, "Why?-! Why?-! Why?-!"
-Nani?-!-
-It's you! It's all your fault!-
-Look! I'm your boss. I'm the one suffering too!-
"Oh my…" Megan gasped.
"So that's your boss?"
"Hai. That's Mammoth Mogul-san while the other is Valdez-san AKA Garren."
-Bullshit! That's enough! Anyhow, don't get in my way! And don't let anyone from BOARD get in my way!-
-Valdez!- Mogul shouted before the footage went to static.
KAMEN RIDER BLADE
Alpha: A person who is betrayed 100 times is better than someone who has betrayed others a 100 times. I like guys like that.
Elias: Megan-chan, please tell me just where are the Undead coming from! Just what am I fighting for?-!
Megan: Are you okay with watching as people suffer before your eyes?-! To save innocents, you have no choice but to fight, right?-! Isn't that a Rider's job?-!
Haruka: A Kaijin appeared at the observatory. Amane-chan and her friends are at the observatory!
Chalice: Everyone is my enemy. Including you!
Blade: This is my job!
Category 2: Nazo no Raidā (The Mysterious Rider)
