My name is Haruto Raito. I am a detective, a hardboiled detective at that.
Many may think that 18 is a little young to start my own detective agency but it doesn't faze me.
This city, my hometown. The capital, they call It has been shedding too many tears.
The bloodshed. The conspiracy. The injustice. This city is screaming for a hero to save it.
A shrill cry broke the silence and startled Haruto. Haruto had been sitting by the roadside, filling up his diary. Dressed in a dress shirt, a pair of slacks and most importantly his feodra hat, he had been travelling back to his hometown in hopes of settling there after learning from his mentor. He tossed the diary and pen in his little haversack.
"It seems like this city really needs someone like me afterall."
Haruto raced in the direction of the scream.
Left turn.
Haruto looked around. He was sure the scream came from this direction.
A little girl draped in rags came running out from a dark alley. She tripped over a rock and fell to the ground. A group of soldiers came running behind her.
"Stop her!"
Haruto raced and placed himself between the girl and the soldiers.
"You know, It isn't right to bully a girl like that… "
"That girl is wanted for treason and murder.." The leader of the soldiers stepped out from behind his troops.
"Stand aside."
Haruto looked at the girl in front of him and raised an eyebrow."
"There must be some mistake. How can a little girl like…"
Haruto's sentence was interupted by a fist. The impact caused him to be knocked on the gound.
"Who the hell are you calling small?!" The girl retorted. "I can take care of myself. No need for a bumbling idiot like you."
Haruto rubbed his chin. That was some punch.
"Sorry about that." Haruto got up and dusted himself off.
"All I need is this," the girl pulled out a huge rifle from beneath her robes. "Hurry up and get out of here if you don't want to get injured."
Haruto picked up his fedora hat and dusted off.
"Ah, Soldiers of the great capital. I will leave you to your job to preserve peace and justice."
The little girl tensed, preparing herself for a fight.
"I see you made the right , get her!"
"However…" Haruto took out the LOST DRIVE from his haversack. "There have been rumors about you guys threatening the peace of this capital. And I can't abandon a girl like that."
"You…" the little girl looked at haruto. "Are you an idiot?"
"That may be true…" Haruto placed the lost driver onto his waist and a belt secures the LOST driver to his waist.
"What is that? A teigu?" the Leader was puzzled.
Haruto takes out the Joker memory from his pocket and taps it. Gaia Memory, a thumbdrive like device that contained the earth's knowledge on a certain subject matter.
"JOKER" The gaia memory announces. Dark energy waves started to radiate from the belt.
"Who knows? It was a present left to me by my mentor." Haruto smiles.
"Henshin!"
In a swift motion, he slots the gaia memory into the slot and activated the driver. The wind starts to pick up, causing those around Haruto to take a step back. A set of black armor materialises around Haruto. The red mirror lens lights up as Haruto flicks his left wrist.
"Now, count up your sins!"
Haruto uses his little finger to lower the little girl's gun.
"Such a big gun doesn't suit you. Leave this to me"
Haruto,without waiting for a reply, charges towards the soldiers and initiates a flying kick which sends one of them flying.
1 down, 3 left.
Two of them surround him, seemingly wanting to use a two-pronged attack strategy.
Dodging blows from all sides, Haruto disarms one of them and elbows the other.
Seeing three of the four guys on the ground, Haruto smiles.
"I sure am strong." Haruto flicks his wrist and strikes a pose.
"Look out! The Fight ..." the little girl warns him.
But the warning came a second too late. The leader had already begun his attack and slashed Haruto. Haruto falls back from the blow.
"I didn't expect to use this on tonight's patrol, but.."
The leader throws away the sword in his hand and whips out a pair of metal gauntlets, each resembling an ensnaring lion. Haruto gets up on his feet.
"Don't make me laugh, a pair of mittens like that don't scare me."
A shot is fired by the little girl at the leader. The leader easily dodges it and tries to close the gap between them.
The leader throws a few punches at the Haruto who easily evades them. Haruto throws his own set of punches and kicks at the leader.
This guy…
He has a strong weapon but too bad, he can't use it well.
The leader throws a punch at Haruto which he uses his hands to block. Haruto kicks up the gauntlet causing the leader to lose control of one of them, causing the leader to be momentarily stunned.
Haruto then whips out his Joker memory from the Lost driver and slots it into the maximum slot on his belt. He gives it a quick tap, allowing the memory to announce "Joker Maximum Drive"
"Time to end this.. Rider Punch." Haruto gathers energy at his fist and then jumps towards the leader.
"Get out of the way!" the little girl screams.
Huh? What is she talking about?
A shot was heard.
The next thing he knew, he felt a small energy blast fly past him and towards the Leader. Although the shot was small, the leader was blown back from the blast as he screamed. He crashes into the nearby wall and causes a huge imprint. He slumps to the floor, dead.
Haruto looks back at the little girl, the gun still smoking from the shot.
"You.."
Haruto felt a sudden weakness in his body. He collapses to the ground as the black armor around him disappears.
"Eh?" Haruto coughs up blood as he tries to stay conscious.
"You were an idiot for trying to take those hits head on. Even if the armor did protect you from the initial impact, the aftershock would definitely have shattered your bones. It's a wonder how you are still alive."
"Well, I am sorry about that." Haruto chuckled as darkness engulfed his vision.
