*What about Gou?*
*We haven't heard from him either, but since we don't have communication with Gou it would be hard anyways*
*True enough*
*So how did Haruto managed to get everyone here?*
*A combination of teleport magic and his underworld friend Dragon*
*Ah, thus he probably passed out right after everyone arrived safely*
*Exactly, how did the Cybertronians manage to get here so discreetly?*
*That was complicated planning and a few close calls*
*So quick question, are the groups starting to gather in the areas you were in?*
*Yes, what about you guys Ichigo?*
*Still pretty separate, but some are coming together, but still staying small, speaking of which we need to make a decision ourselves about that*
*True, do we split up again or stay together making this a huge target*
*We also need to decide if we're going to reveal ourselves now*
*Actually...*
*What is it Terui?*
*I think it best if it's left up to our discretion due to the fact that we can never predict just how a battle will go, we've been able to hide so far but as the fighting continues I doubt we'll be able to continue to keep the secret. At the same time however some battles might be better for the reveal than others*
*I agree, how about everyone else?*
Everyone ultimately agrees and then once Haruto was awake he tries to get in contact with Nito again, because while they knew Kelsey was working undercover they didn't realize that Kosuke hadn't managed to actually escape the camp like the plan was. Kosuke had originally been captured as part of a plan to gather first hand intelligence about the camp so that at a later time the other Riders could safely attack, unfortunately things went wrong and Kosuke didn't get a chance to escape when he and Kelsey were once again separated. However Haruto only managed to get a status update on the fact that he was alive
*Still nothing from Kosuke?*
*None, the Cybertronians?*
*Talking in their own language right now trying to decide who goes where if we split up*
*Which is probably something we should decide now isn't it?*
*Yeah, let's get everyone together*
And so to any outsiders that might have managed to sneak into the camp it looked like a bunch of vehicles and people enjoying each other's company but in reality the Kamen Rider's were having the quietest argument ever in the world via their mental communication abilities about splitting up now that they were finally together again
*I still don't think that's the greatest idea*
*We don't exactly have much choice but to split up*
*Fine, how are we going to split up then?*
*Philip and I aren't being separated again, changing into W might work separated but we don't like it and what happened last time could happen again and I am the only person able to stop him from working himself into exhaustion. I know everyone has gotten closer through Kerenai but you guys minus Terui still don't know him like I do and even then Terui wasn't there for Begins Night and as such doesn't have quite the same connection to him as I do*
It took a little longer but finally everyone was agreed on the fact that they were splitting into two groups and who was in each of said groups
*So who's telling the Cybertronians the different groups?*
*As the first Kamen Rider I will*
*Hopefully they have figured out how they're going to split as well*
*Only one way to find out*
Ichigo told the Cybertronians how they were going to split up and found out that the robots had also figured out how they were going to split up too according to what the Rider's had decided and as such one groups actually stayed in Tokyo where the enemy was the most active while the rest went to Sapporo to do what they could there
*So it's time for active fighting then?*
*Yes, we still can't get in contact with Nito but we have no choice now but to start actually fighting back because we need to free Japan and then America, if other countries have fallen once America is freed the enemy will realize just how strong we have gotten and might actually be smart enough to surrender and leave Earth*
*Sure about that Galvatron?*
*No but it's the best idea we have*
*And just how are you alive and the Primes not anyways?*
*Actually the Primes might be alive but they were taken off planet and those on Cybertron have long had orders regarding lost communication, considering how long it's been since then if orders were properly obeyed Cybertron is an empty planet*
*Either way at least the Cybertronians still have at least one leader alive to lead them once we free Earth, now then what are we going to attack first?*
With that the group starts planning their first attack hoping to coordinate with a smaller resistance force in the area knowing how hard that would be. Meanwhile Kelsey and Gou were still keeping themselves hidden by obeying the orders of their captors and making sure to make small calculated attacks by destroying minor systems that would be repaired within hours, the maximum repair time that they would allow was a full day, but Kelsey knew that eventually they would have to go big and potentially reveal themselves but she also didn't know when that would be though she felt it wasn't yet time
*So what's the plan for today?*
*Do nothing but what we're assigned, we've been too active lately, and while I don't know exactly when we're supposed to reveal ourselves I think it's still a bit early to even try, let's wait and see if we can't get outside information first before we do anything more serious than what we've been doing*
*Okay you know the enemy best*
*Hey you've been fighting them too you know*
*True, but while I may have fought them in Britain it's almost like they're different here in Japan*
*We need to have a talk at some point about that then*
The two would ultimately never get a chance to talk about the differences because soon afterwords the camp was turned into a fighting concentration camp where it was kill or be killed and that's when Kelsey knew she and Gou would have to up their game and reveal themselves but first she decided to bring back a few tricks her family had taught her about faking an opponents death if needed without her powers. The reason they had taught her how to do so was because they knew that there was a possibility that Kelsey wouldn't be able to use her powers for whatever reason and as such made sure that she knew how to fight without them and also how to get her opponents out of a dangerous situation alive while still looking like they've been killed. She knew though that using those tricks were going to be tricky without ousting herself with her fighting style, but she figured she might have a way, it was Gou who was at more risk of being revealed in the fights and both knew it too
*So basically the plan is to make it up as we go?*
*Pretty much, I know a place on the outside that we can send people to*
*With massive destruction?*
*It's underground, literally, which means it would have survived the destruction of the invasion and what's more when I found out that the Kamen Riders are telepathic with each other due to being cyborgs I incorporated that into the location. All the people have to do is push a button and a message will be sent to any surviving Riders in the area to be moved to a safer location, and with at least some of my family also alive that increases the chances of civilian survival*
*Fine, think you can keep yourself from being discovered through fighting?*
*It'll be tricky but doable, you?*
*Might be a little more difficult for me since I'm sure that your family taught you well before...well you know*
*I do indeed know what you are talking about and you're right they did teach me a few things about the current situation we find ourselves in, doesn't mean it won't be difficult depending on circumstances*
*True enough, are you prepared for what can happen should you be forced to reveal yourself?*
*Are you?*
*I think so*
*Same here, but we won't know for sure until it happens*
*Point, it's basically a wait and see situation isn't it?*
*Oh yeah, most definitely*
The two were some of the first to begin the daily fights and initially Gou couldn't figure out a way of taking out his opponent without actually killing them while Kelsey couldn't pass on her location discreetly, but eventually with time and patience Gou and Kelsey mastered the fights well enough to not only fake their opponents deaths but to also pass on the location that Kelsey had designed when she had been in deep mourning of the loss of her family and country and which had been modified once she discovered the telepathic communication abilities of the cyborg Riders
*I just realized something big, we never agreed if what we can truly do is last resort or not*
*Oh yeah, that's kind of important now that I think about it...last resort, definitely last resort, but once we do last resort I want answers on how you have kept your last resort safe the entire time*
*Oh you'll get it, and it will probably surprise you too*
*So what's the plan for tomorrow?*
*Well I was thinking doing some major damage to the generator*
*That's right, you don't have a fight tomorrow...okay let's do it, I will try and help you set up one of my special bombs and then make sure I am there for my first scheduled fight, set it off for while I am supposed to be fighting so as to create more chaos*
*Okay, let's just hope I am not discovered before then*
*Good point, well all we can do is wait and see*
*True enough*
The next day things went well, until the Kamen Rider/Cybertron alliance decided to attack at the same time that Gou was supposed to set off the bombs which meant the two had to improvise in regards the escape plan
*Gou! I think it's time for last resort*
*Agreed, how long for you?*
*Instantly*
*Okay works for me, do it now*
*Done...you?*
Gou puts on the belt and calls out a familiar cry to the enemy
*Henshin!*
The belt then basically talks
*Signal bike, Rider! Chaser!*
The enemy had an obvious mad face and the voice simply confirmed just how mad they were because they basically growled when they spoke of what Gou had become
*Kamen Rider*
*That's not all you're getting either, Arranyan swords*
Swords appeared in both her hands all of a sudden and that's when the enemy realized just who they had kept prisoner all these months and also growled out her last name
*Kerenai*
*Exactly I deliberately kept hidden waiting for this day*
With that the fight resumed in earnest and amazingly Kelsey and Gou managed to have a conversation while fighting
*Gou two questions*
*What is it?*
*Can you and Chase switch control over the Rider form like Drive and Belt did?*
*Not exactly like that but close enough yes*
*And have you keep awareness of everything that goes on while Chase is essentially in command?*
*Yes, tested it in Britain with cops who managed to figure out my identity before fighting began*
*I need explanations about that later, for now I need to speak with Chase*
The switch was instant
*What is it?*
*Can you combine your weapon attack with mine?*
*Should be able to*
*Good, now then we have to have perfect timing because otherwise there could be backlash that could hurt us or it simply won't work*
*On your signal then*
Unfortunately the attack fails and the two continue fighting when suddenly Gou in Chaser form lost the ax and as such Kelsey quickly formed him a new one
*Chaser!*
Gou looks and catches the ax and the two continue fighting when all of a sudden they were forced to stop due to being surrounded and Kelsey low on power
*Do you surrender?*
*I give up*
*Same here*
The two are separated and essentially used as punching bags for a bit before being left alone for a few days while their captors decided where to send them since they were an obvious threat
