What you recognize I don't own. Asterisks are used for foreign, alien and sign language, thoughts are in italics while asterisks underlined denote Kamen Riders communicating with each other mentally. Once again when talking about their Rider forms Kamen Rider 1 and Kamen Rider 2 will always be known as Ichigo and Nigo, seeing as how I am using the Japanese forms for their civilian names I figure might as well use the Japanese form for their Rider names as well. And just because none of the Kamen Riders can age minus one that does not mean they cannot die, that is fair warning right now due to the fact that this story involves war. Due to the fact that I am going to be getting realistic about the horrors of war this story will eventually become Mature, however if it gets to a Mature rating before I think it should tell me immediately but it WILL be rated at Teen rating to start off since I have to build to the Mature rating due to the fact that this will be a first for me. And I will start off with the ending of the first story to introduce this story, sort of as a refresher of what exactly is going on at the beginning of this story. Oh and while hopefully I don't keep adding things here like the other story the Cybertronians will be more involved in this story then they were the last. I just realized I keep forgetting about Ryuki and for that I apologize, however Ryuki is even more confusing then some of the others that have multiple Riders and as such let's just say that those that became Riders in Ryuki never did due to various reasons

Japan was on the eve of battle with a weapon in the hands of Japanese that were properly trained and the people getting ready to first free their country and then America as was the original plan. The trainers knowing that Kelsey would have given permission for the weapon to be used in Japan first because of the current situation. But either way all over Japan people started gathering supplies quietly and quickly preparing for battle, preparing to free Japan. In the camp Ichigo was in due to the fact that it was a few Riders and Cybertronians they were some of the first to actually formulate a plan to fight back, though that didn't mean that there weren't any arguments about the plan, especially from the Riders

*Not happening you two*

*Oh yes it is*

*No it's not, I am not reuniting with Kelsey only to have to tell her that some of her family had actually survived but died soon after we Riders were united with some of them*

*You don't have a choice in the matter because we aren't risking your lives, especially with no contact with the other Rider's*

*Which I can resolve quickly and securely if you would just listen to me*

Just then Tomari Shinnosuke woke up from the surgery that had turned him into a cyborg like all the other Riders

*Would you two pipe down? I have a massive headache*

The group turns and as the closest person Jin Keisuke touches him on the shoulder first and speaks softer

*Shinnosuke, good to see you awake*

*What happened?, the last thing I remember is...the fight!*

Tomari suddenly sits up and is immediately reminded of the fact that he had been seriously injured, but he was definitely feeling better than he thought he would

*Again I ask, what happened?*

*First off, everyone is split up and we don't know the status report of anyone, not even Kerenai who we don't have secure communication with, second of all, all the Kamen Riders minus Gaim and Mach are cyborgs now, it was the only way to save your life Tomari*

*Understood, what's the plan?*

*That we still don't know since we have two very stubborn Cybertronians to deal with right now*

*Cybertronians but...*

*According to what Frenzy told us, some of them were actually captured and eventually a small portion managed to escape but that's all I know, of those that escaped a few of the cassettes managed to get to Japan, they don't know the status of the other escapees though*

*For now we need to make a plan, what about the other Riders?*

*That's the other issue right now, there are rumors that everyone is dead but we don't know that for sure, if the Cybertronians would just listen to us they would know we have secure communication with everyone minus Mach and Kerenai*

*For now I think I'm just going to go back to sleep, regain my strength*

*Okay Tomari, we'll update you when we can*

Just then Keisuke heard a voice in his head that he was very glad to hear

*Soma Haruto to Jin Keisuke respond please, Soma Haruto to Jin Keisuke respond please*

*This is Jin Keisuke, I'm here, Tomari Shinnosuke, Hongo Takeshi and two Cybertronians are also with me, and don't ask questions about the Cybertronians right now that will have to be explained later, who all have you contacted so far?*

*You're the third person who's actually answered my mental summons, though fifth in the actual line, Kazami Shiro and Tendou Souji have also answered, however I didn't receive a response from Ichimonji Hayato and Kisaragi Gentaro, though you know full well that doesn't necessarily mean they are dead*

*Good point, for all we know they're simply unconscious right now*

*Exactly, tell the other two about this?*

*Once he's awake Tomari will know, for now only Hongo is awake*

*Understood, I'll pass on that you're alive to the other two and try and get in contact with a few others, can you do the same?*

*Not at the moment, besides it's probably best right now to only have one person making contact with everyone so as to make the confusion less pronounced*

*Okay will do*

Keisuke goes over to where Hongo and the Cybertronians were currently sitting and speaks up

*Hongo, Soma Haruto, Kazami Shiro and Tendou Souji are confirmed alive, Ichimonji Hayato and Kisaragi Gentaro are unconfirmed at the moment*

*And just how do you know this?*

*Mental communication with Soma Haruto, all cyborg Kamen Riders have mental communication with each other, for now Soma Haruto is the point man for communication to help prevent severe confusion*

*Oh, we should have listened to you guys when you said you had secure communication with the other Riders*

*Exactly*

*What about Kelsey?*

*We don't have secure communication with her or Mach so finding out about them will be a bit harder, especially finding out about Mach seeing as how he wasn't even in Japan at the time of the attack as far as we knew*

*Japan has split into camps as far as Hongo knows*

*Only for our area, we don't know if that's the case in other parts of Japan also*

*How long until you find out the status of everyone?*

*It could be a while*

*For now we need to get more supplies so as to fight back*

*Right, and maybe join forces with police camps if possible *

Meanwhile in another part of Japan Kelsey was with a group of mostly kids with a few adults and one police officer and they too were making plans to fight back, but since Kelsey didn't have a way to find out if the Kamen Riders had survived the fighting that day all they could do was make basic plans of protection and most of Kelsey's plans were approved, at least those said out loud, Kelsey also had a few plans in mind that she didn't mention because she knew that they wouldn't be approved
