(Well for those reading I bring you another helping of Menma.

Now for a helping of Riders in New York. When we last left our heroes, Menma was getting luck, Draco and Ryu worked in a bar and Spiderman spent his night with friends.

So far Menma has had to deal with three elementals and robots what will happen this time?

I OWN NOTHING! All stereo types are from the show!)

:Chapter Four START:

Time Square-Midday-Sunday-Two weeks after the events of last chapter.

Draco stands in the middle of time square as the place was filled with people crossing roads and yellow taxis travelling back and forth. Time appears to speed forward as he watched the world around him with an amazed smile. Soon Draco eventually raises a disposable camera and takes a photo, revealing the large I heart New York teddy-bear in his arms.

Draco lowered the camera to reveal his smile as he looked to the sky when J. Jonah Jameson started shouting, "J. Jonah Jameson here with more proof of Spiderman's illegal actions on the people of New York," He then shows pictures of Spiderman stuck to the side of a truck, images of Spiderman saving pedestrians being crushed by a thrown police car that was thrown by a man in a robotic bear suit. The last image was a Spiderman stuck to the side of a building as a bald man with squirt guns attached to the man's backpack filling a bag full of cash. "As the pictures are clearly depicting, Spiderman is a danger to the people of New York."

Draco just shook his head before muttering, "How can that man be so stupid?"

Unfortunately a man that looked like Jameson heard him and shouts, "Spiderman is a crimanal!"

"Oh, do you know him personally?" Draco asked.

"No but I know the crimes he has committed!" the man spoke gaining the attention of the people around them.

"Well from what I have seen firsthand," Draco argued, "he has been doing his best to help the people of New York." With that comment the man punched the teen in the face causing him to collapse to the ground.

Draco sat up rubbing his jaw as a bruise began to form and the man says, "Maybe that will help you see the truth, as spoken by the voice of New York."

The man walked away not noticing the female red head who had filmed the entire 'discussion' stepped forward and helps Draco to his feet. The girl then says, "Mary Jane Watson, midtown high reporter and you are?"

Draco smiled and says, "Draco Arcos, I am new in town," as he offered to shake MJ's hand only to drop his teddy bear. He caught the bear before it could hit the ground and asks, "Know any good places to enrol for high school."

MJ smiles and laughs before she says, "Well let's see," as she taps her chin and says, "lets see you want a high school in New York," she can barely contain her laughter as she sees the hope in his eyes, "There is always Midtown High."

Draco becomes confused before he asks, "The place of your work," at that MJ breaks down into histerics.

MJ replies with, "It is a high school that has its own news paper that I am the editor, head journalist and photographer," as she takes a photo of Draco's face of realisation.

"Can you show me?" Draco asks in wonder.

MJ looks at the bruise on the boy's face and says, "Sure just need to stop at the nurses office. That looks like a bad bruise." Draco simply nods and goes with.

New York-Financial district-That moment-side of a building.

Chain stands on an window cleaner platform in human form and stares at an apartment arcoss a wide gap between buildings with a four lane road beneath him. What is he staring at? The answer is very simple.

In the apartment that he was staring at was a small collection of weapons belonging to the Crime Boss Tombstone, who just so happened to collect artefacts of fallen heroes. Specifically the hand guns of post world war one New York otherwise known as 'The Shadow' and other weapons of more recent fame.

Chain stared at the apartment before flinging a pair of chains at the windows of the Apartment, that Chain pulled kicked his way into the apartment and throws a series of Genma Eyecons that bounced off the weapons but fused with 'the Shadow's guns. From the cloud that formed the a shadow with a flash of red flew out of the building faster than Chain could catch.

Chain made a fist and growled before vanishing into a storm of chains, missing a large male Albino man in a black suit enters his 'trophy' room. He sighs before saying, "Get the window replaced immediately," to the two guards that entered after him.

Midtown High-Nurses office-an hour later

MJ and Draco had taken the subway to reach Midtown high as they were let in by the school janitor Stan. Currently Stan helped Draco with the bruise on his cheek with ointment as MJ started asking him some questions, "So Draco where are you from?"

"Overseas. My family sent me to America to learn about the world," Draco answered mixing truths with pre planned lies that Menma drilled into him, nothing drastic just about how Draco was from out of town and not beyond the stars.

"So where are you staying?" MJ questioned trying to find a story.

"With friends," Draco simply states not giving anything away.

MJ raises an eyebrow before saying, "Okay, but why are you, in the states? There are nicer places?"

"It's really just where I landed," Draco says as Stan finishes dabbing the ointment.

The two then spent a great deal of time talking with each other before Draco and MJ both had to head to their individual homes for the night.

Outside the Devil May Cry Bar-night

Draco arrived to his place of residence as a large man was thrown out with a black eye. Draco looked at the man and realised it was the same man that hit him earlier. Draco shrugs before entering to find Menma helping Jupiter clean herself with napkins, due to what appeared to be alcohol spilt on her nice purple sundress and was crying. Jupiter then stands and goes with Menma as he comforted her to their room.

Draco then took a seat between a depressed blue skinned Elvis lookalike in a purple suit and to the other side was a strict business type in a black suit, both drinking whisky.

Ryu stood in front of Draco and asks, "What will it be?"

Draco thought on this and says, "A Skrull fruit juice."

The man in the suit just shook his head when Ryu asks, "You do realise that this is a human bar, right?" Draco frowns in depression before Ryu smiles and pulls out said drink and says, "Though the bar always has what the customer wants," with a sweeping wave.

Draco accepted the swirling blue and yellow drink, the two colours never mixing as he took a sip. He smiled at the taste before speaking, "I found a high school to enrol in today." Ryu nods as he cleans the bar with a rage, Nero can be seen in both with his feet up behind him. "Well it will take a ten minute train ride and I already made a friend." Draco finished.

"So where is it?" Ryu questioned.

"Midtown High," Draco answered before Ryu coughed violently.

Once he calmed down he asks, "Who did you meet?"

"Mary Jane Watson," Draco answered before Ryu shook his head, "I got punched by a strange guy. The same man that was just kicked out," He takes another sip of his drink and says, "She was very convincing in why I should enrol there. I figured that I could convince Menma and Jupiter to join."

Ryu looked to be struggling to stop laughing, "I was going to suggest the high school I go to."

Draco nods and asks, "Where," before taking another sip.

"Midtown High," Ryu laughs at Draco's shocked face, "Yeah, I will be a senor start of the new semester." Ryu cleans a glass and says, "Plus the three of you would be a second years."

Draco sighed and says, "I walked straight into that one," he takes another sip of his juice and asks, "What is with all the different people in the bar?"

Ryu sighs and says, "You have been here almost a month and you ask me now?" Draco nods simply and Ryu says, "Supernatural, Extraterrestrial, Metahumans, Imortals, Mortals and everything in between. To enjoy a drink without being assaulted with due cause."

Draco nods before Nero arrives next to him and says, "Plus, there is Karaoke the last Saturday of the month."

It was that point the Blue man looked at the calender behind the bar before zooming to the mike of the slightly elevated stand and says, "Ladies and gentlemen, I am the Flabtastic Flabber and I will be your entertainment tonight." And with that he proceeded to sing enthusiastically.

Draco shakes his head before finishing his drink before heading up to his room and sleeps for the night.

Genma base-Midnight.

Chain Returned to the dilapidated building that is the Genma's Base. He hadn't been here for two weeks. What he found upset him, as he stares at the flooded section and the section filled with water and a large seat made of stone. What Chain noticed that annoyed him was a chain cylinder and a broken table set for him, but what really annoyed him was seeing the Genmas serving the Elemental Genmas.

Chain sighed before speaking, "Where is Stone?"

Flame snorted and puffed smoke before saying, "Stone fell through some wood and is now stuck on that giant metal island in the sky," before muttering about dumb rocks.

Water jumped out of the flooded section and says, "Apparently Stone can't float."

Chain growls before questioning the two Elementals, "Why have you not retrieved your comrade?"

Flame just shakes its head before Water answers, "We can't fly."

Chain just covers its face before pulling out the items he had taken to from multiple locations in the city from his chain coat. Chain had to wait twenty four hours before it could make another ally. He places the items on 'its' desk, an ornamental magnifying glass, a nineteen twenties gangster hat and an old calligraphy pen.

Chain looked at the objects it collected before sighing and says, "This is taking too long," and transforming into its Genma form.

Flame laughed before saying, "So our great leader is getting impatient, feeling hot under the collar?" Water chuckled at the pun.

Chain ground its teeth and says, "We have limited supplies and we are only as strong as our weakest link," Chain ignored Water's snickering before continuing, "I need you two to start collecting artefacts for Genmas."

Flame laughed loudly while Water then speaks up, "We can make our own Genma. So how about the Genmas we make, would fall under our command?"

Chain took a deep breath before saying, "Very well, the end result will be the same."

With that Water dived back into the water and entered the hidden tunnels to the New York Harbor before heading out to see. Flame stands with a slight wobble before transforming into its human disguise and walked out of the base. The revived Sword walked to Chain and says, "The Blanks have failed to find the traitors of what is shielding them."

Chain is angered but nods in understanding before unwinding the chain to create a hammock seat of chains and says, "We need to retrieve Stone. Blanks find me a helicopter," the surrounding Blanks nods before vanishing into shadows and sneaking away.

Menma's room-The next morning-early Sunday morning.

Menma was sleeping soundly with a semi naked Jupiter wearing one of his shirts hugging his chest, as the sun rose to the point where it reached their faces Jupiter hugged him tighter.

Then there was a knock on the door causing Menma to stir, he opened his eyes and looked around the room to see the alien ray gun leaning on a wooden holder he had found in the bar's basement. Menma just lied back down before the knocking turned into a full slam when Nero walked pass. Menma and Jupiter groaned before they sat up so Menma could answer the door while Jupiter just sat on the bed with a pout.

On the other side of the door was Draco who says, "I found a place we can enrol for school," he was smiling before Menma slammed the door on him and went back to bed.

Outside Menma's room.

Draco Arcos stepped away from Menma's door then rubbed his injured nose before muttering, "Ouch," where he fixes his nose.

Draco stepped back towards the shared kitchen to see Ryu eating cereal, Fruit Loops as Draco was told, while in Ryu's other hand was a Sunday edition of the Daily Bugle. Draco sat down before Ryu says, "I really need to buy a different news paper prescription, and cancel my current one, again," he sighs before pushing the fruit loops to Draco, "Most important meal of the day."

Draco released his nose and made himself a bowl of fruit loops, before Nero entered the kitchen and started reading a strange news paper with red ink, strange glyphs and Draco could have sworn that the pictures moved.

Nero then asks a simple question, "So Menma and Jupiter are sleeping in?" Draco shook his head before Nero spoke, "The underworld now has a Kamen Rider that has become the youngest reincarnated devil to become high class and items of private collections are being stolen by a strange creature made of chains."

Ryu looks away from his paper and says, "You may want to tell Menma that. He would want to know."

Nero raises an eyebrow and asks, "Would he also like to know about a sudden appearance of a black cloaked man with guns and a red scarf, taking down a group of thugs last night?"

"Where?" Menma asks as he enters the room with a glare at the three before making coffee.

As the kettle boiled Nero spoke, "Well there is a Kamen Rider in 'hell', items of importance are being stolen from people and strange man with strange guns and a red scarf."

Menma poured himself some coffee and nods, "So Chain is making a noticeable move," he was silent for a second before he adds, "I just need to find their base," Menma sighs and adds, "and they are not limited to this realm or city."

Nero nods as he reads his paper, but says, "I will contact a couple of old acquaintances, they may be able to find this Chain and other monsters you are looking for."

Jupiter then entered the kitchen still wearing Menma's shirt and hugged Menma before making herself a cup of coffee, she took a seat as she then added twenty lumps of sugar to her coffee taking a sip and added another lump.

Ryu dropped the newspaper he was reading with a sigh before Menma started to read the paper and says, "What idiot made these titles. 'Spider source of all evil' 'Gas prices on the rise. Could a spider be involved?' oh here is a good one, 'Spider the cause of Global Warming' who writes this stuff?"

"J J Jamason," Nero and Ryu spoke, "The guy likes money."

Menma simply nods before reading the pages and as he steadily gets angry before he closed the paper and says, "I'm going out," and heads to his room before coming out in his Kitsune gear, "I'll be back by tonight," with that he left the four to eat their breakfast.

Genma Base-Lunch Time

Chain was pacing as Flame watched Chain before its vision focused on the magnifying glass resting on the chained desk. Flame blazed over to the desk and took the spy glass then just stared at the item before Water jumped out of the pool of water with a net on its back and an anchor in its other hand with the word 'Titanic' engraved along its circumference.

Water coughed in embarrassment before saying, "I forgot to get Genma Eyecons."

Chain shook its head before heading out.

Time Square-roof tops

Menma looked at the pots of special paint in his hands before taking a large brush and started painting the clear paint along the large Daily Bugle screen and after twenty minutes completed his work before heading to the other screens around the city before ending his day at the Daily Bugle headquarters.

Fabric and textile factory-Jersey

Chain slivered like a snake through vents to enter the factory and searched for the off cuts of fabrics and threads before finding a large metal drum filled with fabrics. Chain then collected the drum and vanished with the 'trash' without a trace.

Night time-Time square

Spiderman swung through the city avoiding the Daily Bugle screens across town before taking position in Time Square where he saw what truly made his day.

The Daily Bugle mega screen was painted with luminesant paint that says.

'Warning! Filled with spiders! Read at own risk! P.S. the editor has a boner for them.'

Spiderman fell over and laughed as he fell over.

At this point JJJ came on screen to reveal laminated paint set to reveal him to appear to be in drag. Once Spiderman saw the image he laughed hysterically.
