Hello everyone! I've never wrote a Kamen Rider fic before, but I hope I'll do well! And put it in Double, I created my own personal Rider for it as well. Big thanks to Alpha-Zecter on Deviantart for designing my Kamen Rider's Gaia Memory symbols as well as the Tornado one. Also, this takes place after Beyond R/Surpass Them All. Hope you enjoy it! The T stands for Torrent and Third (the latter won't make sense right now but will later). Enjoy!
The T's Grudge/The Mysterious Rider Appears
Futo Water Front;
A man with a black fedora and rather long hair wearing a white shirt with black stripes and a red tie covered by a black vest, black pants to match, stood on a bridge, watching below. He checked his watch, which had a strangely high-tech design with a bit of a spider motif. "Dang it, Ryu! Where are you?" he yelled to himself. "Why set up a stakeout if you don't show up on time!" His rant was interrupted by the sound of a motorcycle. "Finally…" he muttered, adjusting his fedora. A man on a sleek red motorcycle drove up. The man was young, and had short reddish-brown hair, his clothing a black shirt covered by a red leather jacket, his pants the same red leather with a chain attached to the right side. "Ryu, what took you so long? You're 15 minutes late."
Ryu simply walked by to look down at the waterfront, ignoring the question. "We received a tip saying that there would be a Gaia Memory dealer selling in this area tonight. I take it your connections confirmed the same? Shotaro?" he replied, the same intense expression remaining on his face.
Shotaro sighed. "Always so high strung with you," he replied with some annoyance. "But you're right, Watcherman confirmed that witnesses have reported seeing a dealer around here at 9 pm every night."
Ryu nodded. "You still manage to surprise me with how capable you can be, Hidari," he said, calling him by his first name.
Before Shotaro could offer a rebuttal, a clock tower somewhere in the city struck nine. Shotaro knew now he'd need to be quiet to keep them concealed. Looking down, he saw a man in a black business suit walk in, a brief case in hand. He identified this man as the likely Gaia Memory dealer. The man had grey hair, but it appeared dyed that way, not due to age, as the man only appeared around 30. His features were mostly obscured by the shadows, however, so it made it difficult to figure out who he was.
From the other side of the area came a large muscular man wearing a black sleeveless shirt to show his muscles, the right shoulder having a tattoo of a broken heart on it. His hair was down to his shoulders but it was clear the man worked hard for a living by his appearances. He looked around, forcing Ryu and Shotaro to duck to avoid detection. "So…I hear you've got what I can use to get some payback, huh?" the man asked, his gaze falling on the dealer.
"Yes, I think I do," said the dealer, holding up his briefcase and opening it to reveal a large number of USB flash drive-like devices, the main difference being each one had a spine and ribcage-like design on them, and were a multitude of different colors, each baring a stylized letter on it, the sticker it was on having repeating words in the background. "Gaia Memories, reasonably priced, take your pick."
The muscled man walked up and looked through them. "Hmm…this one looks like a winner," he said, picking a silver one up and exchanging the given price.
Shotaro looked to Ryu and the two nodded to each other. They dashed down a staircase to the lower area. The two walked under a street light as the dealer used a device to put a USB port-like tattoo into the broken heart tattoo on his left shoulder. "You!" yelled Ryu, catching the buyer off guard and causing him to turn suddenly, the dealer didn't react very much, just smiling. He held up a badge. "Futo Police Department, you're under arrest!"
The dealer chuckled. "My sincerest apologies, but I don't think you have any authority in my uncle's city," he stated with a laugh. "I believe our transaction is finished, enjoy the Gaia Memory," he said to his client, clamping the briefcase shut and walking off.
"Hey! Come back here you!" yelled Shotaro, preparing to run after him, only for the buyer to step in his way, preparing his Gaia Memory, which had an 'I' designed to look like it was constructed of steel girders. "Hey! You don't realize how dangerous that thing is! Trust me! You don't want to use that Gaia Memory!"
The man simply growled and put the memory into his Living Connector. "Iron!" announced the memory, grey metal coating the guys skin as he transformed. He looked like a hulking knight with a huge long sword. The Dopant's form was the color of iron, as the memory suggested, and the joints were black in color, a v-shaped visor on his head glowing red. The Dopant growled, stopping forwards, cracking the cement with his weight.
Ryu growled, pulling out a device resembling a speedometer with two motorcycle handlebars on it, while Shotaro pulled out a device with two holders extending from the top, red in color, a clear box beneath them. "Philip," Shotaro said as he put the belt on and pulled out a black Gaia Memory with a stylized 'J', while Ryu pulled out a red one with a 'A' in the appearance of a speedometer needle and counters, attaching his belt as well.
Narumi Detective Agency;
A man with dark brown hair sat reading a book. His clothing was a white shirt with orange horizontal stripes, covered by a blue robe he kept open that extended down to his knees, his pants being black and not completely covering his legs, stopping a bit above his red shoes. He looked down, the Double Driver materializing around his waist. "A Dopant already? Shotaro?" he asked, standing up. "You really know how to get yourself in trouble."
"Cyclone!" announced a green Gaia Memory pulled out by Philip, holding it in the same manner Shotaro did.
"Henshin!" he announced, putting the Gaia Memory in its slot, where it vanished, Philip fainting.
Futo Water Front;
"Joker!" announced Shotaro's memory while Ryu's announced "Accel!"
"Henshin!" announced Shotaro, a green Gaia Memory with a C appearing in the right slot of the Double Driver, which Shotaro pushed down before placing the Joker Memory in the left slot.
"Hen…shin!" shouted Ryu, sticking the Accel Memory into his driver, causing it to sound like an engine trying to start.
Shotaro threw the two slots of his driver to the side, making them take the shape of an 'W'. "CycloneJoker!" announced the belt as the symbols for the two memories appeared in front of it before smashing together as wind whipped around Shotaro, forming into armor, right half green, the left black. Two large red eyes adorned the head, between them a crest resembling a 'W'.
Ryu revved the handle of the Accel Driver, a ring of orange energy pistons surrounded him, a holographic 'A' floating before it, the left side rising a falling as he revved the driver like a speedometer needle. "Accel!" announced the driver as Ryu let go of the handle, the energy coming into him to form. bulky, motorcycle based red armor. In addition to the wheel on his back and legs, his face had a large blue visor with an A-shaped white object in the center, the ends of which expanded outwards off his head, the top one forming an A-shaped crest.
"Let's break through!" yelled Ryu, now Kamen Rider Accel and armed with a large sword with a gun trigger at the hilt and its middle portion resembling an engine.
"Shotaro, how did you run into a Dopant already?" remarked Philip's voice, the right eye flashing.
"Well we were staking out a Gaia Memory dealer!" replied Shotaro's voice as the Iron Dopant charged them. "Ryu, you go after the dealer, we'll handle the Dopant!" he announced charging and delivering several wind powered kicks to the Dopant, though nothing seemed to work, forcing him to duck a slash from the Dopant's sword.
Accel nodded. He pulled the Accel Driver off his belt and did a back flip, the wheel on his back sliding over to attach to his handle bars in front of him and the half wheels on his lower legs flipping over to form another tire while he leaned over, transforming into a motorcycle and taking off after the dealer.
Double ducked a slash from the Dopant's sword, punching him repeatedly but not making much headway. The Iron Dopant slashed him twice with his sword, both slashes sending sparks flying before a third sent him flying back. "Shotaro, we're up against a metal Dopant, let's even the odds!" said Philip.
"Good idea, Philip," responded Shotaro.
Double folded up the Driver as he stood up and took the Joker Memory out of its slot and replaced it with a silver memory with a M designed metal with bolts. He flipped it out back into a 'W', causing the symbols to collide once more. "CycloneMetal!" announced the driver, the Joker half turning silver and a silver staff with a red W in the middle forming on his back, which he positioned to block another slash from the Iron Dopant. He then punched him back, removing the Metal Staff and extending it before smashing the Iron Dopant repeatedly, sending sparks flying. The Iron Dopant slashed at him wildly, but the Metal Staff quickly allowed him to block and respond with attacks of his own.
Meanwhile, Accel rushed through the streets, seeing the dealer up ahead. "I've got you now!" he yelled, accelerating and cutting him off.
The dealer chuckled. "Kamen Rider Accel, you've been giving my uncle quite the headache as of late."
Accel returned to his normal state. "I don't care! You're going to pay for your crimes!"
"No, I don't think I will," stated the dealer. "I've got people in high places watching out for me." He gave a laugh. "Or should I say a cat."
Accel was about to respond when something hit him from behind, knocking him to the ground. He turned to see a muscular Dopant with orange fur covering his back, hips, and arms, as well as his oversized right hand which resembled the top part of a ferocious cat's head with a single eye, 'teeth' were fingers would be on a normal hand. In addition to the clawed left hand, what looked like a bottom row of teeth extended from the top. The head was tiger-like and had a pair of long blood-red fangs extending from the mouth. The most important trait was a mostly silver belt around his waist, a golden orb in the center. Accel recognized this Dopant, as he'd seen it before, the Smilodon Dopant, one of the leaders.
The feline Dopant slashed at him with its claw, forcing him to quickly block with his Engine Blade. The monster roared and threw him into the side of a dumpster, creating an dent in it. Accel slashed several times but the agile Dopant dodged quickly. "Darn you! Come back here!" he yelled, opening the Engine Blade like a shotgun chamber and inserting a silver Gaia Memory into it.
"Engine!" announced the memory. He pulled the trigger a few times. "Electric!" it stated, the blade electrifying as he attempted to slash the fast moving Dopant.
Meanwhile, Double managed to begin getting the upper hand on the Iron Dopant, smashing him in the face and knocking him into a warehouse with a spinning smash from the Metal Staff. Double jumped after him, only to be smashed by a steal pillar the Dopant wielded with his great strength, sending the Kamen Rider flying through a stack of crates with a loud crash, then throwing several large crates on top of him. "You won't stop me Kamen Rider! I'll pound the work of my former employers to dust and there's nothing you can do about it!" yelled the Iron Dopant before it ran off.
Double growled, getting out of the rubble, having used Metal's durability to protect himself. "He got away!" yelled Shotaro's voice.
"We'd best go check on Terui," replied Philip, the right eye flashing as he spoke.
"You're right, no telling what a dealer might have up their sleeves!" Double then ran in the direction Accel had gone.
Accel found his blade caught by the Smilodon Dopant, who slashed him a few times before throwing him into a wall. The dealer laughed at the sight. "That's it my friend, uncle will be very happy with Accel out of the way."
"And I'll be happy with you out of the way," said a female voice down the ally.
The dealer turned, seeing a woman with shoulder length dark red hair, but she was hidden in the darkness. "And you are?"
"Torrent!" said a Gaia Memory the woman held up, a refined Gaia Memory like the Riders.
"The one that's going to take you down!" yelled the woman, taking out a driver, the main part a rounded light blue object, two objects on the side resembling a pair of ice-skating blades, the top points aiming for the slot. She put the belt on with a graceful spin. "Henshin!" she said softly, but with authority in her tone.
Accel looked. "Henshin?" he asked, dodging a slash from the Smilodon Dopant.
The woman stuck the Torrent Memory into her driver before pushing the blades down. "Torrent!" stated the belt as a waterspout erupted around her, armor spinning inside and forming onto her. Her suit had dark blue armor, the joints and fabric of the suit were a lighter blue, as where the gloves, as was a slot attached to her right leg. Her heart shaped breastplate, while mostly the same color as the rest, had a white patterned up the center and at the neck. The helmet had a ribbed designed mouth plate, the visor two large greenish-blue eyes, separated by a white T-shaped object extending from the top of the mouth plate to her forehead, the ends of the top of the T extending at a pointed curve off the sides of her head.
The dealer didn't move, but was surprised to see yet another Kamen Rider. "Who are you?"
"Kamen Rider…Torrent," the Kamen Rider replied.
Accel, managing to slash the Smilodon Dopant across the chest, sending a shower of sparks. "Torrent?…Another…Kamen Rider?" he asked aloud.
"I will wash the world clean of your crimes!" said Torrent, approaching the dealer.
The dealer watched the Smilodon Dopant pick Accel up and slammed him against the wall, choking him. "Well you'll have to choose, attack me, or save your fellow Kamen Rider," he said, smiling.
Torrent looked at Accel and growled, not at him but the situation, she then looked at the dealer one more time before running and kicking the Smilodon Dopant off Accel. Accel panted, holding his neck. "Thanks…but who are you?"
"Are you going to talk or shall we kick butt?" asked Torrent.
Accel simply nodded. The two Riders charged the Smilodon Dopant before he could recover, Accel slashing him across the chest twice before Torrent did a few spinning kicks into him, staggering him back.
"Shame…" said the dealer, pulling out a golden Gaia Memory with a tornado shaped like a T on it. "I wanted to test out uncle's gift," he said, throwing it up and catching it as he slunk back into the shadows.
The Smilodon Dopant ran around the duo at high speed. "Fast huh?" asked Torrent, a pair of ice-skates extending from her feet. She then skated into the path of the Dopant, catching him off guard and doing a spinning kick, the blades sending a cascade of sparks as they impacted the creature's hide, sending him flying back into a wall. Accel took advantage of the situation and slashed the Dopant several times with his Engine Blade before doing a spinning roundhouse to his head, knocking him through some trashcans.
Torrent looked to Accel. "That sword has an electric function right?"
Accel simply nodded, pulling the trigger the correct number of times. "Electric!" announced the memory as the blade crackled with electricity.
Torrent spun around on her skates, throwing several kicks with water swirling around her legs as the attack connected to the Dopant, soaking him and the ground around him. Accel then drove his Engine Blade into the water on the ground, sending an electrical shock through it into the Smilodon Dopant, which roared in pain and rage as he was electrocuted. When the combined assault ended, the creature sunk to his knees, panting.
"Time to finish it," said Accel, preparing to squeeze the lever on the left handlebar of his Driver to perform a finisher.
Torrent cut him off and grabbed the Smilodon by the neck. "Listen you fur ball. I know you're not a human in your real form, so I'm going to make it easy on you, take this back to the Taboo Dopant!" she said, tying something around his Driver. "Now scat cat!" she yelled, throwing him aside. The Smilodon, injured, ran off with a cat-like hiss.
Accel growled. "Hey! What are you doing?" he asked, then realized what she'd asked the Dopant.
Torrent sighed. "I have my reasons, trust me, I wanted to put him down too, but I have a message I need delivered to a certain Dopant," she said, turning to him.
"Why do you want to find the Taboo Dopant?"
"Same reason as you being after the Weather Dopant, she took something I hold dear from me," said Torrent. She heard someone else coming. "I wish we could talk more, but I've got to be going," she said, turning and skating off.
"Wait!" said Accel, unnerved by the encounter but too late to stop her.
Double finally arrived. "Terui! What happened?" he asked, taking off the Double Driver and turning back into Shotaro, the armor crumbling away.
Accel took his Driver off as well, reverting back into Ryu. He kneeled to examine the marks left by Torrent's skates. "We're not the only Riders in Futo anymore."
Sonozaki Estate;
The dealer entered the large, expensive dining room, his uncle, Ryubee Sonozaki, sitting in his seat at the head of the table. While the man was old and normally wouldn't be considered much of a threat, he had an indescribable aura of fear about him. The man was light haired and wore expensive looking clothing, as was to be expected of the patriarch of Futo's wealthiest family. "Uncle, I sold the Iron Memory tonight, and on the way home, the same patron brought someone else to me to buy the Nitro Memory, those were among the ones you wanted me to sell most, correct?"
Ryubee looked up from his meal and nodded. "Yes…Seiko, they were," he said, seeming happy. "You've done very well…and I must say, your ability to resist using that Gaia Memory has impressed me."
Seiko nodded, smiling. "Yes, when I know there's a possibility to use it without risk one day, it's easy to resist. But I will admit, I was very tempted to do so."
Ryubee smiled, standing up and walking over. "My brother and his wife have done a wonderful job developing Gaia Memories, I expected nothing less than success from their son," he said, impressed as he walked up to his nephew. "In the past weeks, you've proven yourself loyal to our cause, I'm proud," he explained. He pulled out a belt similar to the one the Smilodon Dopant had been wearing, only without the golden sphere in the center, a Gaia Memory port in its place.
Seiko expected his Uncle to put it on himself to transform into his Dopant form, but instead, he placed it in Seiko's hands. "Uncle…thank you! This is…I will use it to help our cause."
"I expect it," replied Ryubee. "Now, shall we see your Dopant form?"
Seiko nodded, putting the Driver on. He took out his gold Gaia Memory and pressed the button. "Tornado!"
Narumi Detective Agency;
Shotaro and Ryu arrived back at the building, Shotaro's detective agency. "I know you're curious, I am too, but the fact of the matter is, the Dopant is the priority now, afterwards, we can worry about Kamen Rider Torrent…" he said, before seeing the state the office was in, pictures of Bigfoot all over the walls. He instantly knew what had happened. "Philip!"
Philip emerged from a hidden door covered with Shotaro's spare fedoras, reading a book. "Oh, Shotaro, I saw this documentary on Bigfoot, an American myth."
Shotaro sighed. "Well at least I know you're your old self again." Philip, since their first encounter with the Weather Dopant, hadn't quite been himself, Shotaro was kind of glad to see him back to his obsessive self.
Philip nodded with a smile. "Yes, I am glad myself." he looked back to his book. "There are hundreds of sightings of the creature around North America each year, dating back to Native American times."
A young looking girl with long brown hair tied in a ponytail, wearing a brown sweater emerged from the other room. "Philip-kun! Bigfoot is just a myth, he doesn't exist!"
"I don't know, Akiko," said Shotaro, walking over. "He's more normal than the Dopants."
Akiko took out a green sandal to hit him over the head with but realized his point. "You're right, that is strange."
Ryu sighed. "Philip, we don't have time for this, we need you to do a look up."
Philip turned to him, now more serious. "About the Dopant from earlier?"
Ryu nodded. "We've got a few keywords that should work. And after this is done, we need to check out that other Kamen Rider."
Akiko gasped. "Another…Kamen Rider?"
"She called herself Kamen Rider Torrent, she helped me beat the Smilodon Dopant."
Akiko blinked. "Do you know who she is?"
Shotaro shook his head. "No, all we know is she has a grudge on the Taboo Dopant for some reason."
Philip walked forwards. "Well we have a Dopant running around, that is our priority." he closed his eyes, extending one arm out. In his mind, he was now in a huge white void full of endless numbers of bookcase. "First keyword: Iron," he said, the word appearing before his face in green letters. With that, the bookcases rearranged themselves rapidly, some vanishing completely. "Broken heart tattoo, left shoulder." Still more bookcases were removed, now three shelves lined up in front of him. He looked around at the shelves. "Its not specific enough, the broke heart tattoo narrowed it considerably, but not enough."
Shotaro thought about it, then remembered what the Dopant had said. "You won't stop me Kamen Rider! I'll pound the work of my former employers to dust and there's nothing you can do about it!"
"Put 'recently fired' and 'construction' into the search," said Shotaro. "He said 'former employer', most likely meaning he was recently fired from a job. He wants to pound their work into dust, there are several options, but to me, with his body type, it would make the most sense for him to be a construction worker or other type of heavy lifting."
Philip nodded. "Next keywords: recently fired and construction work." With those keywords, the bookshelves rearranged again, disappearing, leaving the remaining books floating before they too rearranged until finally, only one remained, a red one with 'name' written in gold letters, which Philip quickly seized. "Got it." He began flipping through the pages. Once he got the information required, he returned to his body and opened his eyes. "Michael Connors, an American that moved to Japan as a child with his parents. They died in a car accident and he's been supporting his younger brother, Terence by working at the Futo Construction Company, which built many of the city's structures. However, a few weeks ago, he was injured on the job and they fired him to replace him rather than hold the job till he returned."
Akiko blinked. "So he became a Dopant to get revenge?"
Shotaro sighed. "I hate these kinds of cases…when you can't help but sympathize with the guy you have to fight."
Ryu leaned against a wall, memories of the deaths of his own family's death running through his head. "Sympathize or not, he still must be brought to justice. Where do you think he'll attack?"
"Futo Construction Company was building a new skyscraper downtown which is were he was injured but they also helped build Futo Tower," said Philip, referring to the city's most recognizable landmark, a large windmill tower that was one of the city's centerpieces.
"So we have two possible targets, the Futo Tower and this new skyscraper," said Ryu, concerned by this. "I can put a police barricade up around both."
"Not a good idea," said Shotaro. "One, let's assume Michael has become consumed by the Iron Memory, then he'd plow straight threw police resistance and likely take additional lives unnecessarily."
Philip nodded. "Second possibility, he has enough sanity left to avoid the police and leave, he does so and we lose our best chance of capturing him."
Akiko nodded in understanding. "I think its clear what we do, we split up!"
Shotaro blinked, taking off guard. "I have to admit, the middle school girl has good ideas every once in awhile." He often called her that due to her young looks and actions, even though she was an adult.
Akiko growled and smacked him in the back of the head with a green sandal. "Don't call me that, halfboiled idiot! I'm the chief," she rebuked, sticking her tongue out at him.
"I'm not halfboiled! Its hardboiled!" said Shotaro, angry, only to be hit with the sandal a second time.
Ryu sighed. "Alright, enough," he growled. "Hidari, you come with me, Philip, you go with Akiko. I'll call ahead and have the buildings evacuated, Michael's grudge is with the company, not the people in those buildings."
"We'll go to Futo Tower, Philip and Akiko can go to the construction site. That way if Philip doesn't need to transform, Akiko can watch his body and keep it out of harms way while I do," said Shotaro, making sure to take the spotlight from Ryu, he didn't like the police inspector giving all the orders.
Philip nodded, closing his book. "Sounds like a good idea, but I do wonder if we can expect help from the new Kamen Rider Torrent."
"I don't know, we still don't know how much we can trust that woman," said Ryu. "But at least she shares a common enemy."
Shotaro nodded. "Agreed, I just hope she doesn't take her vengeance as seriously as you do."
Ryu growled and simply walked out. Akiko cocked her head confused. "What does that mean, Shotaro?"
Philip walked over to Akiko. "You see, Torrent told Terui that she had a grudge on the Taboo Dopant. We really hope she won't go to the lengths Terui once did."
Shotaro nodded. "If she does something to make the city cry, we'll have no choice but to stop her," he said with a sigh. He then walked out and got on his motorcycle, which had a black rear half and a green front, the front resembling Double's face at the handlebar area. I pray it will not come to that, he thought.
Docks Area;
Michael stood on a rafter, flipping the Iron Memory through his hands. "Today, Futo Construction Company will pay for what they've done to us!" he said with an already deranged laugh, the result of his exposure to the Gaia Memory. "Right, Otouto?" he asked, using the Japanese term for younger brother.
A younger man, about 18, near 19, with fiery red hair, a trait he shared with his brother, his outfit consisted a black shirt with the sleeves ripped off and cut off blue jeans, resembling a rebellious teen. Terence, Michael's younger brother, looked up with a smile, holding up a red Gaia Memory with an 'N' stylized to be resemble exhaust pipes on a drag racing car. He pressed the button. "Nitro!"
Futo Tower;
Shotaro arrived at the tower, Ryu close behind. A man trying to support his brother after their parents died…I can't help but think Ryu Terui feels a connection to this case. He knows how it feels to loose your parents in a violent manner…Even so, it can't be helped, Michael may be a good man underneath the Gaia Memory's power, but he must be stopped, narrated Shotaro in his own mind, following Ryu to the Futo Tower, which was already evacuated. "Doesn't look like he's here yet, we may have the wrong area."
Ryu nodded, but kept his eyes focused on his surroundings. "We can't assume that."
Shotaro sighed. "Why are you always so serious?"
Ryu simply growled, his seemingly permanent scowl not leaving his face. He didn't acknowledge Shotaro's comment, looking out over the city. He was more concerned about the new Kamen Rider. What does that woman have against the Taboo Dopant? Is it really the same as me? But the question is, will she go to the lengths I nearly did to avenge what was taken from her? I planned to arrest Isaka after breaking the Gaia Memory, but his own misuse of his Gaia Memories did him in.
Construction Area;
Philip and Akiko walked through the area, abandoned due to the evacuation order that was given. "It appears everyone has been evacuated, so if Michael makes his move, he can be fought without worry," stated Philip, his eye analyzing everything he saw.
Akiko nodded. "That's always a good thing…I just wished we were getting paid for this mess," she said with a huff, despite being good at heart, she tended to get caught up in the business part of the detective work at times.
Philip ignored her statement and walked on. He used what he'd read in the Gaia Library to locate the spot that Michael had been injured. "It was right here."
Akiko blinked, scratching her head in confusion. "What do you mean? I don't see anything," she said, looking closer.
"It is-"
"The spot I got screwed!" yelled a voice behind them, interrupting Philip.
Akiko and Philip turned around, looking around. "There!" yelled Akiko, seeing Michael standing on a girder nearby.
"Michael Connors, I thought you might show up here," said Philip.
"And just what are you going to do about it?" growled Michael, taking out his Gaia Memory.
Michael inserted the Gaia Memory into his Living Connector. "Iron!" it yelled as he transformed into the Iron Dopant. He slammed his sword into the ground and pulled up, sending debris flying at Philip. Philip stood his ground, Akiko hiding behind him. Suddenly, a tiny blue robotic dinosaur, its legs resembling the upper part of a dinosaur's skull, leapt out nowhere and knocked the debris out of the air rapidly before landing in Philip's hand.
Akiko took out her phone and called Shotaro.
Futo Tower;
Shotaro's phone rang and he quickly took it out, answering. "Hello?"
"Shotaro! Philip needs to transform into Double! Quick!" yelled Akiko's voice on the other end.
Shotaro nodded. "Understood," he said, hanging up. He looked to Ryu. "I've got to transform, please take care of my body," he said, taking out the Double Driver and putting it on.
Construction Site;
Philip looked down at the Double Driver as it formed. He collapsed the Fang Memory's legs, then flipped its head to make a Gaia Memory part flip out. "Fang!"
Futo Tower;
"Joker!" announced the Joker Memory as Shotaro held it up. "Henshin!" he yelled, putting the Joker Memory in his slot, this time it disappearing before he fainted, Ryu catching him.
"Darn it Hidari!" yelled Ryu, struggling. "You're too heavy!" he growled, dragging his unconscious form into a closet.
Construction Site;
"Henshin!" yelled Philip at the same time, waiting for the Joker Memory to materialize before pushing it in. He then inserted the Fang Memory, flipping it down as he opened the Driver into a 'W', causing the Fang Memory to take on the appearance of a dinosaur skull with a horn.
"FangJoker!" yelled the driver, the armor forming the right side white and the eye having jiggered edges, the Joker half sharing the appearance.
The Iron Dopant cocked his head. "Wait…I thought that other guy was the Kamen Rider…" he muttered, confused.
"We're a two-in-one Kamen Rider!" said both Philip and Shotaro's voices. Double ran at the Dopant, punching and slashing him, forcing him back.
The Iron Dopant swung his sword at the Rider but was dodged, letting Double push the horn on the Fang Memory down once. "Arm Fang!" announced the Driver, a curved blade extending from the forearm of the Fang half. He caught the Dopant's sword with his own blade, parried the blow and then slashed him across the chest twice, sending a shower of sparks and forcing him back.
The Iron Dopant growled in anger and kicked Double back, dashing to the building under construction and climbing up. "Hey! Come back here!" yelled Shotaro's voice, the left eye glowing.
"Calm down Shotaro, he's just trapping himself, he can't fly after all," replied Philip. Double jumped up the girders, following the Iron Dopant up the building. However, when he got to the top, the Dopant grabbed a lit wielding torch and burned the Rider's left eye, causing him to yell out in pain, clutching his eye and staggering back. This allowed the Iron Dopant to slash him several times across the chest, forcing him back.
Futo Tower;
Ryu stood in front of the closet, now getting bored from waiting. That's when he noticed a figure approaching the building. He walked up, holding out his badge. "This area is evacuated, you're going to have to turn around," he ordered, before Terence pulled out his Gaia Memory. Ryu gasped in surprise. "You've got a Gaia Memory?…You're…Terence Connors aren't you?"
Terence nodded, pulling down the collar of his shirt and inserting the Gaia Memory. "Nitro!" it announced, fire erupting around him as his body changed to a Dopant form. His skin was red in color and each finger had three clawed fingers, his chest had what looked like a starting light at a drag race and his shoulders resembled tail lights. His feet had wheels on the bottom and his back was adorned with four exhaust tubes. His head resembled a helmet worn by a racecar driver. He then threw Ryu aside and stomped towards the tower.
Ryu growled, getting up and taking out the Accel Driver and Accel Memory. "Accel!"
"Hen…shin!" yelled Ryu, putting the Accel Memory in the driver.
He began revving it up. "Accel!" He transformed into Kamen Rider Accel and charged, slashing the Dopant across the back with the Engine Blade, sending sparks flying.
The Nitro Dopant turned. "So you're Kamen Rider Accel? Well lets see how you handle this acceleration," yelled the Dopant, suddenly speeding up and dodging a slash, flying around him at high-speed, flames emitting from the exhaust tubes. "What's wrong? Can't keep up?"
Accel slashed at the Nitro Dopant, trying to get a hit in. "Hold still!" he yelled, angrily. He was suddenly slashed repeatedly by the Dopant's claws, knocking him to the ground.
Accel growled, standing up and popping open the Engine Blade and sliding in the Engine Memory. "Engine!" He then pulled the trigger a few times. "Steam!" The Engine Blade emitted a large cloud of steam, obscuring him from view.
The Nitro Dopant stopped and looked around, surprised. "What?"
Accel snuck up behind him and slashed him repeatedly, sending sparks flying. "You're just a kid, you have no idea what you're doing, or how dangerous of situation you've placed yourself in," stated Accel, knocking the Nitro Dopant to the ground.
The Dopant snarled, standing up. "They took away our livelihood! All because of greed! Now they're pay!" he yelled, the exhaust tubes on his upper back rotating forwards and him bending forwards slightly. He sent two streams of fire out of them.
Accel rolled out of the way as where he was previously standing was ignited. "Just like with the Bird Dopant, the Gaia Memory corrupts younger users faster."
Construction Site;
The Iron Dopant slashed Double repeatedly, several times threatening to knock him off the edge. "This doesn't look good, Shotaro!" yelled Philip.
"I know, I can't see much with my side's eye burned," replied Shotaro. "It's messing with our synchronizing."
Akiko watched from the ground. "Come on! He's not that tough!" she yelled, getting frustrated.
"Torrent!" announced the mysterious woman's Gaia Memory, from behind Akiko.
Akiko turned, seeing the woman standing on a higher floor of another building, holding her Gaia Memory with her Driver around her waist. "You must be…Kamen Rider…Torrent!" she said, she watched Torrent node. "Are you going to help?"
"Henshin!" said the woman, inserting the Torrent Memory.
She flung out the 'blades' on the driver. "Torrent!" The waterspout appeared and transformed her into Kamen Rider Torrent. She stepped back and activated her skates, skating forwards and jumping the gap to the building under construction, skating along and jumping from floor to floor.
The Iron Dopant had Double cornered on the edge of the building. "Any last words before I slice you in half, Kamen Rider?"
Double saw behind the Dopant. "Yeah, look behind you."
"Huh?" asked the Dopant, looking behind him, only to receive a spinning kick to his face, the blades on Torrent's feet sending out sparks.
As the Iron Dopant clutched his face in pain, Torrent looked to Double. "That eye of yours doesn't look very good," she said and sprayed water from her hand into Double's injured eye.
Double tried wiping the water off. "Hey what was that…" he then noticed his eye was healing, soon completely. "Huh? You can do that?"
Torrent nodded. "Water is used for many processes in the human body, with the proper control of it, one can heal wounds, even in Kamen Riders," she explained. "Now, let's wash the world clean of his crimes!"
Double thought about it for a moment, finding fighting along side Torrent the best course of action. "Good idea, but to do that, he must first," he pointed to the Dopant, "count up his crimes!"
The Iron Dopant staggered to his feet, then realized not only did he have two Kamen Riders to contend with, but that Double was healed. "Uh oh," he tried to run but Torrent sprayed water on his legs, causing his leg joints not want to move properly. "What the heck? Why can't I move properly?" he said, noticing his knee joints rusting.
"Iron rusts, I just sped up the process, and a rusted join won't move" explained Torrent. She then charged and did several quick spin kicks, each one sending sparks and gashing the Dopant's hide.
Double pushed the horn on the Fang Memory twice. "Shoulder Fang!" it announced, a blade extending from Double's right shoulder. He took it off and threw it like a boomerang, slashing the Iron Dopant repeatedly, sending sparks cascading off and staggering the Dopant back and forth from the impacts, kicks from Torrent not helping.
Torrent took the blades off her feet, revealing a hilt inside, letting her wield them like twin-bladed daggers. She charged and did a jumping double slash into his shoulders, forcing him back into another slash from Double.
The two Riders nodded and charged the Dopant from both sides, Double slashing him with the Shoulder Saber and Torrent slashing him with her blades before reattaching them to her feet. The two grabbed the Iron Dopant and threw him down onto some crates a floor below, causing them to shatter into pieces.
Double and Torrent jumped down as the Dopant staggered to his feet. "Mind if I do the Memory Break?" asked Torrent.
Double nodded. "Sure, ladies first."
Torrent chuckled, taking out the Torrent Memory from her belt. "Time for you to be washed away!" she said, pointing to the Dopant.
She put the Torrent Memory in the Maximum Drive slot on her left leg. "Torrent! Maximum Drive!" it announced, water surging around her, the slot making a charging up noise. She charged forwards and half way to the Dopant, jumped into the air, hitting the Maximum Drive slot and doing a spin like a figure skater, causing the water to cycle around her in a miniature waterspout. When she reached the Dopant, she did a flying roundhouse kick, the water forming into blades on her feet and slashing across his chest, she then continued through with a back kick, doing what appeared to be a butterfly kick.
The Dopant was knocked over the edge of the building by the kick, screaming as he fell to the ground, exploding on impact. In the crater, Michael was alive, but stunned. The Iron Memory ejected out of its port and shattered, Michael watching it before realizing what happened and trying to stand up, only for Akiko to plant her foot in his chest. "No one escapes the Narumi Detective Agency!" she said, sternly to him. He tried to force her off, only for her to begin beating him with a pair of green sandals.
Double looked to Torrent. "What do you call that move?"
"Torrent Edge," stated Torrent, turning and beginning to walk away.
"Wait!" said Shotaro, Torrent stopping and looking around at Double. "I know you're seeking revenge on the Taboo Dopant, please…don't do anything to make this city cry," he stated, quite meaningfully.
Torrent watched for a moment, then nodded. "I love this city, just as much as you do," she said. "And just as much as…my Onii-san and Onee-san…before that witch took them from me…" she said, turning and walking off.
"Onii-san…Onee-san?" said Shotaro. "Could she mean…" he remembered that before a woman by the name of Yukie had came after a woman for the same reason that Torrent now was, to avenge her brother. "Philip…I need you to look something up."
Futo Tower;
Accel locked the Nitro Dopant's claws with his sword. "Don't make me hurt you kid!" yelled Accel.
"I don't think I'll need to worry about that!" yelled the Dopant. He knocked Accel back. He then saw that Accel was reaching to remove the Accel Memory, knowing ether a Maximum Drive or form change was coming. While he could dodge a Maximum Drive, he knew if Accel form changed, the Rider would overcome his speed disadvantage. The Dopant shot fire at Accel and then dashed off at high speeds.
Accel dodged the flames and growled. "Come back here!" he yelled. "Darn it!" he yelled, driving the Engine Blade into the ground and transforming back. "He got away!"
Shotaro, having returned to his body, walked up. "Terui," he said. "Torrent appeared again, she helped us beat the Iron Dopant."
Ryu was interested. "Helped out again?"
Shotaro nodded. "And she said she's here to avenge her brother and sister."
Ryu blinked. "So the Taboo Dopant took her family."
Shotaro nodded. "Terui, I think I've got a lead, but Philip will need to finish the lookup first, lets head back to the agency."
Ryu nodded. "But we've also got another problem, Michael's younger brother is a Dopant too and he's still loose."
Sonozaki Estate;
Ryubee sat at the table, eating some cake, one of his favorite times of day. "Such good food, I must thank today's chief," he mentioned to himself. He then heard meowing and looked down, seeing a blue British Shorthair cat with a Gaia Memory Driver. "Hello Mick, thank you for guarding our nephew, but its been longer than I thought you'd be," he said, picking up the cat. He then noticed what Torrent had tied to the feline's Gaia Driver. "What have we here?" he asked, untying it. Looking at it, he smiled. "Looks like we're not the only ones out to punish you, Saeko," he said, refering to his traitorous older daughter who'd tried to overthrow him. The object in question was a white handkerchief with a red spot on it resembling blood, someone had added their own touch, placing a symbol shaped like a Y made up of an incomplete hourglass…
Yeah, I know, the revenge angle I'm using was already done in the show, but I thought of it before his sister was revealed, so I modified it a little. Please R&R and also, any suggestions or constructive criticism is welcome!
