Kiyome, the new enemy:
Hi everybody, who has been reading this second chapter of my story, I have realized that I missed a few lines in the middle of the story, and at the end, so I have now rewritten this chapter. Please read and review, and tell me if you think this version is better than the first one.
Taki opened the doors to the directors office, it had to be something very important for the director call him to his office. He stood in front of the elderly man, who was sitting at his big desk, and said "You wished to see me Director-sama.".
"Yes Akachi-san, the US-MDF are in need of our help, have a look at this." Director said as he opened a secret panel in the desk and pressed a few buttons. The room was darkened, and a television screen popped out of the wall
"This footage was taken by an MDF satellite yesterday, as it was flying over USA." Director said as he pressed another button and footage of a city was brought up on the screen. At first it all looked normal, but suddenly a building exploded, and shortly after that, another building got the same treatment.
"Where in America is this city?" Taki asked.
"Well, what you're looking at, is Skydome city." Director answered.
As by reflex, Taki let 2 fingers run down the scar, that went from the top of his forehead, over the left eyelid, to his chin. As he reached the bottom, he said "The golden thorn.".
Director nodded, and turned his attention to the screen and said "Yes, but we discovered something even more disturbing, after the dust had settled, and we zoomed in on the area of the explosion.".
The footage on the screen was fast forwarded, until the satellite started zooming in on the city, and slowly, but surely, people were coming into focus, except they didn't look like humans, they were dressed in tight, black suits, and had long ears, all black eyes, dark, claw like fingernails, and a red triangle with some of its left side cut off, and 3 lines through the lower line. But what chocked Taki the most was the 2 people, standing amongst them, 2 people he never thought he would ever see together "The Architect, And dark Kiva, but thought he had turned over a new leaf." Taki said and could only stare at the man in the red and black armor.
"Yes, it is frustrating, but on to your mission." Director said as he a pair of buttons on the desk panel, and the room was once again lit, Director turned towards Taki and said "Since you've had encounters with these 2 before, we want you and 2 other riders to go to USA and stop this disaster. Are you in.".
Taki resolutely stood up and said "I am Director-sama, who will I be taking with me?" Taki asked.
"I think you should take Shohei Tachibana with you, since he also has some experience in this matter. And bring Yuri Sakura with you, it will be a good training for her, and a good chance for her to get to know what the job is about." The Director said.
Taki simply nodded, he then bowed to the Director and went out of the doors. Half an hour later, the 3 riders was standing in the equipment depot, filling out forms for their rider belts and equipment "It's just so hard to believe that Chazz would turn evil again." Shohei said as he filled out the last part of the form, and gave it to the man at the counter.
"Yeah well, we're not even sure, if he's switched sides on his own, it could be the Architect who's controlling him." Taki said as he also gave his equipment form to the man at the counter.
The man looked over the list, then looked back at Taki and asked "Are you sure, you need all of this, Sir.".
"Yes I am." Taki said. Soon after, the riders was leaving the depot, each carrying a large metal suitcase.
Soon after, the 3 riders was standing in front for a large bullet train, called the Zetsuliner. The train was purple with ruby red front windows, but it didn't seem to be able to go very far, because the rails that the train was supposed to run on, ended a few meters in front of it.
An idea suddenly struck Taki "Say, can you guys pick me up in about an hour at the research center?" Taki asked Shohei and Yuri.
"Sure, but why?" Shohei asked back.
"I'm gonna get something, sort of an ace in the sleeve." Taki said and gave his suitcase to Shohei, before he ran out of the hangar.
Shohei just shaked his head and said to Yuri "Come on Sakura-chan, let's get this show on the road." They went inside the train, and soon after, the train took off, new trails popping up in front of the train as it moved. When the train exited the hangar, a portal, made out of light, appeared in front of it.
The liner drove straight through the portal, and appeared an hour later in front of the J-MDF research center, where Taki was standing with a smaller version of the metal suitcases, that they had received at the headquarters. The doors of the liner opened and Taki got in. the doors closed and the liner took off again, after passing through the portal, it was driving through a desert with a multicolored sky, the desert known as the sands of time.
Taki entered the main carriage, where he put the small suitcase by the larger ones, he then walked over to Shohei and Yuri, who was sitting at a round table, at the windows "Well, Sakura-chan, how do you like your first trip on the Zetsuliner?" Taki asked as he sat down between them.
"It's very nice sir." Yuri said and smiled.
"Sakura-chan, please call me Akachi.".
"I'm sorry Akachi-san." Yuri said as her cheeks turned red.
"It's okay kiddo, I just hate titles, that's all." Taki said and gave Yuri a friendly slap on the shoulder, they both started laughing.
Soon after though, they went silent again and just looked at nothing in particular. Yuri was the first to break the silence by saying "Um, Akachi-san, Tachibana-san." Taki and Shohei looked at, and she continued by asking "Where do you know this Chazz guy from?".
Taki and Shohei looked at each other, after a few seconds, they nodded, and Taki said "Well, as you probably know, we were in the Tournament Kamen Rider a few years ago…" Yuri nodded, indicating she knew what Taki was talking about, Taki continued "During that tournament, we fought, together with other riders, against a man called the Architect. We won against him, but we didn't know that he, and his thugs, had something worse in store for us, a clone of one of our fellow riders. At some point, during the tournament, me and Tachibana-kun ran into him. We did all we could to defeat him, but he was much stronger than us.".
Shohei then took over, telling the story "But luckily for us, 2 of our rider friends, Nero Samson, and Chad Leiter, came to our aid, and finally we defeated him, even though we did not kill him, and he got away, he came back after a few days, saying he wanted to be one of the good guys, and he actually kept his word." Shohei said, ending the story.
"How do you know that?" Yuri asked curiously.
"We give them a call every once in a while, making sure everything is alright." Taki answered. They then started small talking for the duration of the trip.
After a few hours, the Zetsuliner left the sands of time, and came to a hold at the outskirts of Skydome city. The 3 riders stepped out of the train, with their equipment, they also retrieved 3 motorcycles from one of the carriages, the first was blue and white, and had 2 purple scythe blades as head lights, the second looked like a red mechanized grasshopper, and the last was golden had 3 intertwined circles as head lights. Taki, Shohei and Yuri mounted their bikes and drove into the city.
They hadn't gone very far into the city, before they ran into some of the weird beings, Taki had seen earlier at the Director. They quickly turned of their bikes, and hid behind some rubble "Okay, Sakura-chan, it's time to put your skills to the test." Shohei said, they got their belts from the suitcases that was strapped their bikes.
Taki had taken his Zetsu-O belt, which had been modified with a lever, other than that, it looked as it had always done.
Shohei had a belt that looked like the one Taki had used against Yuri.
Yuris belt had 3 intertwined circles like those on her bike, but with a golden, round stone in the middle, and placed in small slots on both sides of the belt, was, on her left side, what looked like whistles, made out of puzzle pieces, one red, one green, and one golden. And her right side, was 3 blocks of stone, each with a different symbol on them, one with a heart, one with the sign of eternity, and one with a simple circle on it.
"Well, this is it, you guys ready?" Taki asked. When Shohei and Yuri nodded, Taki held up his belt and said "Let's do this.".
The three riders put on their belts, Taki took out his riderpass. Shohei took the large cell phone on his belt and dialed the sequence 5-7-2-3 before pressing ENTER. Yuri picked the red whistle and put it in her mouth.
"Henshin." Taki, Shohei and Yuri said, before they transformed. Taki passed the riderpass over the SetTouch. Shohei inserted the phone into the belt, and Yuri gave the whistle a blow, which sounded like a trumpet.
"SCYTHE FORM." Takis belt announced.
"K-R-A 3 ACTIVATED." Shoheis belt announced.
Bright lights surrounded the 3 riders, indicating that their transformation had begun.
3 of the weird beings, saw the bright lights from the transformations, and one of the said, with a hoarse voice "Intruders, Kiyome, attack!" The last word was yelled, and the 3 Kiyome ran towards the pile of rubble. When they were almost there, they were surprised, when 3 shaded figures jumped over the rubble, and kicking them back, the Kiyome looked up to see Taki, Shohei and Yuri in their rider forms, Zetsu-o, KRA 3, and Triforce
"Let's give hell 'em guys." Taki said.
Authors note:
And that was the end of chapter 2, and with that, ends the chance to get your character in the story. I didn't write the looks for Taki, Shohei and Yuris rider forms in the fiction, since I think it will take up to much room in the story. Instead, I'm going to write them here in the notes.
Taki: Takis armor looks mostly the same, but big, purple colored, bracelets, has been attached to his wrists, and his boots has been armored, but other than that, he looks like himself.
Shohei: The armor looks like the one Taki used against Yuri, but it's equipped with a blaster, that looks like the one Travis is using, and 2 smaller ones, that can fold out and become swords, this armor also has the ability to use 'clock up' like Kabuto.
Yuri (Form 1): In this form, Yuri is wearing a bright, red suit. Her upper body is covered dark red armor with black flame design on it. 2 blades, with similar color and flame design as her armor, are attached to her wrists, these blades can be turned, an used as small shields. Her helmet is dark red, and has orange, bug like eyes, 2 antennae, which looks like ears, is mounted on each side of the helmet. This form makes Yuri faster, but more vulnerable to attacks.
Well, that was all folks, so till next time, keep to your path of winning, I'm outta here.
