Finally, we have a new chapter here! My excuse for why this is late is because I am now volunteering at a elementary school for experience and also, I have archery and bowling, so my life has gotten a bit busier. Also, I have been spending too much time listening to the songs of the Greatest Showman and imagining the cast of Build singing them. As well as starting to watch Zi-O. But I am trying to write this and make sure it gets done.
Anyway, thanks to everyone who has followed and Favorited this story, and as for the reviews:
TheOkWriter - I know the phrase is Henshin, I was going off of the subs of the episode I was using at the time which had Transform rather than Henshin.
MaryamSahibzada - Yeah, I honestly have no clue on what to say about Zi-O cause I have barely watched it and well, it's a unique idea to me. I'll probably find a time to catch up on it.
meredinoemiliano - Thanks for your kind words. I hope you will enjoy this story.
Disclaimer is I own nothing of this, Harry Potter is owned by J. K. Rowling and Bloomsbury Publishing, Kamen Rider is owned by Shotaro Ishinomori and Toei TV, all I own is the idea, the crossover, and nothing much else.
Chapter 3 - Borderline of Justice
"Okay? Listen carefully." Sento said to Ryuga as Ginny stepped out of the changing room, Misora was in one of the chair and the woman reporter, Takiwaga Sawa, was applying a ointment on her foot. Ryuga diligently sat on the floor and nodded, "Okay." Behind Sento was a clear board that had cartoony drawings, charts and arrows about everything that they knew of his forced imprisonment and how he got into prison. Sento pointed to the board with a marker, hoping to get Ryuga to understand his situation.
"The one who used your girlfriend to make you go to the scene of the scientist Takumi Katsuragi's murder was Nabeshima." He explained, Ryuga nodded. Sento continued, "And the one who knocked out at the penitentiary so he could bring you to the Smash laboratory was also Nabeshima! There's no doubt he holds the key to this mystery!" "I get it!" Ryuga said, standing up and smiling. Ginny looked at the brunette male and asked, "Do you really?" Sento sighed and shook his head.
"Nabeshima's resume was all lies," Misora reminded them, Sawa was surprised, "No way!" "I checked the adresss and phone number. They were both different people." "Well, that's no good." Ginny said, sighing. Sawa pouted and fell to the ground, crying, "But I went through so much trouble to get this..." Sento knelt down to her and patted her shoulder. Looking tired as usual, Misora said, "If you pay my hourly wage, I can gather information for you." 'Dang, Misora is cold.' Ginny thought, looking at her.
Laughing, Ryuga asked, "What can a shut-in kid like you do?" "Objection!" Isurugi shouted, jumping into sight. Everyone jumped at his sudden appearance. Sento said, "Yes, Master?" "Don't you look down on Misora-chan's power." Isurugi said, walking into the room. Ginny closed her eyes and Sawa covered Ryuga's eyes as Misora changed clothes and Isurugi suddenly began to record her, she smiled and said, "Hey~! It's everyone's idol, Miitan!"
"Misora-chan is a very popular net idol!" Isurugi said to Ryuga, Ryuga looked shocked, "Net idol?!" He nearly walked into the broadcast, but Ginny and Sento grabbed him and pulled him back. Sawa smiled to see who the idol was, taking photos, "The request idol that never meets anyone, Miitan!" "Hundreds of thousands of fans across the country gather information for Misora-chan." Isuguri whispered to Ryuga, Ginny looked as Misora asked her many fans for information on Nabeshima. And almost in a instant, there were a flood of messages and Misora gasped, "A Smash appeared in Area C9! Thanks for the information, 'Love Miitan'-san!"
"Alright, it's time for Build." Sento said, stepping forward. Ginny grabbed his arm and looked at him, worried. Sento smiled and held her hand, Ryuga shouted, "Hey! Wait! Weren't we gonna search for Nabeshima? Don't you want to know why you lost your memories?" "That's a different matter." Sento said, starting to climb the stairs. Ryuga shouted, "The rescuer Build or your past, which is more important?!" "Build, of course." Sento said, chuckling. Ginny looked away and sighed, sitting on one of the chairs.
'Maybe it is wrong for me to think there could be anything more between us.' She thought to herself. 'All that matters to Sento is being Build and stopping Smashs.' Ginny leaned back in the chair and waited for Sento to return, thinking back to her family and friend, wondering if they were looking for her and if they were worried about her having suddenly disappeared. Closing her eyes, Ginny began to sleep, napping til Sento returned to the basement.
Waking up to him working on something and Misora was converting a FullBottle in the device, Ginny heard Ryuga said, "Hey! We're fugitives, you know. Why did you need to save people?! We finally got a lead on Nabeshima-" He jumped when the device dinged, he groaned, "Seriously?! Why do you keeping that?!" Ginny hid a laugh, as Sento smiled at his new power-up, "Spoils of war, get!" "What's the new element this time?" Ginny asked, Sento looked at it. "It's a hawk this time?" She sweatdropped at him hugging his device, "You're the best~" The door opened and Misora stepped out, "Tired. Sleepy." She stepped on Ryuga, saying, "Going to bed."
She sat on Ginny's bed and put a sleep mask, saying, "Wake me... and I cut you." "I wish I could show Miitan's fans this." Sento said, going to put the FullBottles in a panel on the wall. Ginny sighed and shook her head. "Sento, don't." Ginny said, looking at him. "She deserves her privcy." "Hey." Ryuga asked, looking at them and standing up. "I've been wondering, just what is that?" "That's..." Isurugi said, suddenly appearing, "a Best Match. I'll say it again. A Best Match."
Ryuga said with a smile, "Still don't understand no matter how many times you repeat it." Ginny sighed, Isurugi said, "Bottles have their own affinity. For example, Rabbit and Tank. When we insert the two of them, it lights up like this if they have high affinity." He demonstrated by putting in the two bottles. Isuguri said, "If we get a best match with each pair, something amazing will happen. But they don't pair up that easily." "That's why we need this." Sento added, showing the Build Driver.
Ginny listened and nodded, Sento explained, "This was originally an analyzer I used for finding best matches, before I added the Build transformation function to it." Ginny watched as he inserted the Rabbit and Tank bottles, Sento stepped to Ryuga and asked, "What do you think of my invention?" "Well, I bet I can get it in one." Ryuga said, sounding dumbfounded. Sento laughed, "You've said it now, musclehead." Ryuga looked at him confused, but ignoring that, Sento said, "Then find one." 'This ought to be fun.' Ginny thought.
Sento showed a new weapon and explained, "I developed this to use Gatling Bottle, the ultimate weapon...!" After a moment of silence, Sento said, "Something Gatlinger... But I haven't found a best match for it." By some odd coincidence, when Ryuga put in Hawk and Gatling, it turned out to be a Best Match and Ginny covered her mouth in shock. Sento gasped, "No way!" "Bravo!" Isurugi said, silently clapping. Ryuga smiled smugly, "What do you think of my sixth sense?" "More like dumb luck." Ginny said quietly, Sento ignored that and said, "Taka Gatlinger? Hawk Gatlinger? Hawk Gatlinger sounds good. Let's go with that."
Before he could hit Sento, Isurugi stopped Ryuga and asked, "How did you know it was a best match?" Ginny looked at them and Ryuga said, "Well, if you must know... It's a living thing and a machine." 'Surprised he recalled that of a best match.' Ginny thought, looking a little surprised. Sento wasn't so amused, and said, "You can't possibly find a best match with such a childish way of thinking! To elucidate a best match, I need to use quantum mechanic paradoxes-" Suddenly there was a knife tossed into the wall and a grumpy tired Misora was standing in the room.
Ginny looked away and sighed, after the three were given their proper punishment, Sento went off to work and Ryuga was once again tied in chains. Ginny sighed, laying her head on the desk.
"Why are you doing this?!" Ryuga shouted, upset. Not hearing him, Misora smiled and said, "Nabeshima information kita!" Ginny looked at her and she explained, "Nabeshima worked for Naniwa Heavy Industries until one year ago. Oh, there's even a cellphone number." "Your fans are awesome!" Ryuga said in hopes of getting free. Misora stretched and said, "Time to sleep." Ginny laughed and Ryuga said, "Hey... Hey! A normal person would call Nabeshima!" "No use." Misora said simply. "Don't want to. No reason to help you further." So she went and laid on the bed. Ginny sighed and shook her head, 'Misora, a girl of few words.'
But Ryuga managed to break the chains, and walked to her, "Then I'll do it!" 'Whoa!' Ginny thought, standing up and watching him, getting ready to stop him. He took her phone and called the number, demanding that Nabeshima prove his innocence. Ginny groaned, 'He's worst than Ron when he's jealous of Harry.' However, they did learn that the name of the group who did experiments on him was called Faust, Ginny thought, 'That's the name of some old scientist or something. Hermione would know.'
"What are you going to do?" Misora asked, Ryuga grabbed the chains and walked to Misora, Ginny pulled out her wand and ran to him but he knocked her out. After a while, Ginny woke up to find Sento cradling her in his arms and Misora chained to one of the pillars. They learned about Ryuga was going to find Nabeshima's family. Ginny thought, 'Damn, he's persistent.' So Sento took Ginny with him to the harbor and he tried out the Hawk Gatlinger. Ryuga looked at him surprised, "Why're you here?!" "Get down." Sento said, as knelt down, Ginny pulled out her version of the gun and fired at the henchmem with Sento. Ginny breathed as Sento looked at Ryuga and asked, "What do you think of my invention?"
The three of them hid with Sawa as more of the henchmen appeared, Sento asked, "Those people who perform human experiments. They're called Faust?" "I heard from Misora." Ryuga said, Ginny asked, "Are you really going west?" "It's no use trying to stop me." Ryuga said, "I'm going to save Nabeshima's family from Faust." "Then let me tell you one thing." Sento said. "Ear to ear." "What?" Ryuga asked. Sento said, "When I help someone out, I become so happy that I grin from ear to ear. You just can't see it under the mask." After a moment, Sento said, "If you're expecting a reward, then it isn't justice."
However, a henchman was tossed near them and a new Smash appeared, looking at the new Smash, Sento said, "I'll draw the Smash's attention. You go!" He ran out and Ginny watched, worried for Sento, however, Sawa took her hand and ran to the boat to get away from the fighting. However, the boat owner said that he couldn't let them on cause it would cause trouble for the passengers. Ginny gasped, "No, so we're stuck." "Let them board." A woman called out, walking up. "I'll take responsibility."
As it turned out, it was the woman who Sento saved earlier, but Ginny kept looking back, worried for him. She sat with Ryuga and he asked, "Did he know I was going to do this?" "Sento-kun?" Sawa asked, "No way!" Ryuga repeated what Sento said and spoke, "I thought I saved Nabeshima's family, he'd testify and prove my innocence. That's why I wanted to save them. But... he's different. Even saving those two, all he did was smile." Ginny nodded with Sawa, smiling.
But she sighed, "Maybe I should have stayed." Sawa and Ryuga looked at her and she looked down, Sawa patted her shoulder and sat with her, trying to comfort her.
Well, not much to say expect I really liked the fan art when this episode came and honestly, I would have to say HawkGatling is my favorite Best Match of Build. I'll let you know my other favorites later on.
