Last time on Kamen Rider Ex-aid! A new Rider appeared armed with a powerful gun which was stressing the patient out and making the Bugster stronger! The new Rider used to be a Kamen Rider working for CR, but went rogue and saved himself instead of his patients. Tony, the new rider, contacts CR and challenges Conner to a dual. Whoever, beat the monster would take the other's Gashat, but Tony also added the black Ex-aid's identity to the table making Conner accept the dual. After finding the Bugster, Tony arrives fighting Mitch and Conner destroying the Bugster and taking Conner's Gashat! With no powers and Tony targeting Mitch, what will the CR doctors do?
Kamen Rider Ex-aid Episode 4: Targets
I open my eyes and look around seeing that I'm in CR in the patient section.
"What happened?" I ask myself holding my arm in pain as I try getting out of the hospital bed when all of a sudden Asuna runs in trying to hold me down.
"Conner, you really need to rest. Look at your arm." Asuna remarks holding me down as I look at my arm which is completely burned from where Tony shot me.
"How long was I unconscious?" I ask laying down calming down a little.
"About a week." The Director informs me walking into the room along with Mitch.
"An entire week…." I utter in disbelief as I begin remembering what had happened before I had passed out. "Mitch, thanks for helping me back into the truck."
He sighs looking away before lightly blushing.
"We need to focus on defeating Bugster and I can't do that until Tony is defeated. So, until I retrieve your Gashat just stay here and stay out of my way." Mitch retorts walking out the room grabbing his Gamer Driver and Gashat.
"Wait, we have another patient?" I ask sitting back up in interest.
"The husband of the wife you helped last week got infected shortly after, but his Bugster hasn't broken free yet. We've been waiting until then to draw out Tony and launch a trap." The Director explains to me as Asuna grabs my Gamer Driver and places it away from me.
"What? Afraid I'm gonna run off again Asuna?" I ask teasingly before feeling another wave of pain in my arm making me gasp in pain.
"We need you to be in tip top health before attempting another operation. So yes, I am worried." Asuna remarks placing the Gamer Driver in a drawer and locking it.
"Tony needs to be stopped. He has no regard for the patient." I retort laying back down uncomfortably.
Meanwhile…
"Hmph, I guess it's time to act."
"How exciting. All the pieces to the puzzle are finally falling into place. This game is gonna be so much fun!"
"I'm afraid your game ends here." Tony remarks walking in on the two voices. He looks over at one getting a snarl on his face. "Graphite!"
"Tony, isn't it? How'd you find us?" Graphite asks as he and the other voice stand up.
"I'll keep that to myself." Tony remarks before equipping his Gamer Driver and pulling out his Gashat.
"BANG BANG SHOOTING!"
"Henshin."
"GASHATTO! LET'S GAME! SUPER GAME! ULTRA GAME! WHAT'S YOUR NAME? I'm a Kamen Rider."
"I don't really want to play with you." The other voice remarks rudely as he disappears along with Graphite.
"Crap!" Tony shouts at himself de-transforming and standing alone in a now abandoned building.
Meanwhile…
"Director, we have a couple of visitors." Asuna tells the Director.
"Send them to my office, I'll be right there." The Director commands turning his attention back to my arm.
"Sir, it's your son. Also, Peter wanted to come see how you were doing Conner." Asuna explains making me feel better as the upbeat kid that I saved ran into the room excitedly.
"I guess this can wait." The Director remarks before leaving the room to go talk to his son.
"How've you been doing Peter?" I ask tiredly as the kid sits up on a chair.
"Pretty good. My mom and I are a lot happier than what we were." Peter remarks happily as the kid lays down his bag.
"You just get out of school?"
"Yep, we got a half a day because of the rain." Peter explains to me making me curious.
"Rain? Is it that bad?" I ask as I had heard distant thundering.
"It's pretty bad, but my mom says that the Power Rangers are gonna stop it! You're gonna help too, right?" Peter asks innocently making me turn away mostly in shame.
"Actually, I can't help today?" I respond.
"What, why?" He asks sadly as his smile disappears.
"A bad man stole my stuff and I can't help people anymore." I explain to him simply.
"That's stupid. You should still help people. You helped me even without powers, right?" Peter shouts not understanding the kind of man who stole my stuff. He storms out lightly crying and running over to Asuna wanting to leave.
"Good job me. I just made a little kid cry." I think to myself as another wave of pain hits me making me yell out in pain scaring Peter further.
Meanwhile…
"Are you doing okay?" Mitch asks the patient who sits up in military fashion with his wife sound asleep in the chair.
"I'm doing fine sir. I'm worried about this virus I got sir. Will I still be able to head off to the military?" He asks as his wife begins waking up.
"Until the Bugster separates from you, I'm afraid you're not going anywhere." Mitch explains to him equipping his Gamer Driver and pushing the button on his Gashat.
"TADDLE QUEST!"
The gold specs on his neck them begin to fizzle and pop, but don't spread like they're supposed to.
"Besides this being pretty irritating, I don't feel different doc." The man remarks with a disappointed face as Mitch puts away his equipment.
"Could it be that it's already separated?" Mitch thinks to himself before walking out of the room. He walks into the elevator when his phone starts to ring. "This is Dr. Baker."
"Come now, no need to be so formal. We're friends, aren't we?" Tony sounds off over the phone making Mitch nearly fall over at the sound of his voice.
"Listen here. I'm not interested in your games, I'm going to kill you and that's final." Mitch shouts over the phone furiously.
"What if I kill you first?" Tony retorts with an audible smirk.
"You won't."
"Sure. Anyways, I thought I'd help a pal out and give ya the location to the Bugster." Tony then suddenly remarks causing Mitch to stop cold in his tracks.
"Where is it?" Mitch asks with a desperate tone now.
"Such a sudden change in attitude. Interesting. Anyways, you'll be happy to know it's not too far out of your way. It's in the city of Brownwood just outside of the rain storm. I'll text ya the address." Tony tells Mitch who quickly hangs up the call and looks at the text.
Meanwhile…
"Connor! Connor, please wait!" The Director shouts at his son who turns away running out of the building and into the elevator. I look over kind of curious to hearing my name and the drama. I slowly get out of bed and walk over.
"Director, are you okay?" I ask curiously.
"No Conner, I am not. My son, he's being completely irrational about something." The Director shouts sitting down frustrated.
"What's wrong?" I pry.
"My son is about to go do something entirely dangerous and reckless on his own." The Director explains to me hesitantly.
"Does he do this kind of thing a lot?"
"Yeah, it's kind of his hobby if that makes any sense."
"I think I do, but you need to let him make his own decisions and experience his failures. The only thing you should do as a parent is be there to either comfort them or congratulate them." I offer as advice to which he nods silently. I then walk over to the side of my bed grabbing my Gamer Driver. "I'm about to do the same thing."
Meanwhile…
"Graphite, I don't know about this. Those Riders have beaten two of us already." A Bugster states to Graphite who slaps the monster sending it flying into the wall.
"I didn't ask for your opinion Revolv. Just go end them." Graphite commands before walking off.
"So, you're the one who infected that soldier." Tony remarks walking into the warehouse where he knew the Bugsters would be.
"How'd you find me so fast?" The Bugster asks curiously before grabbing his gun.
"Fancy bit of tech I like to call the Bug Radar. Now, onto the exciting part." Tony remarks equipping his Driver and pulling out his Gashat. "Henshin!"
"BANG BANG SHOOTING!"
"GASHATTO! LET'S GAME! SUPER GAME! ULTRA GAME! WHAT'S YOUR NAME? I'm a Kamen Rider."
"2nd Tactic!"
"LEVEL UP! BANG, BANG, BANG! BANG, BANG, BANG! BANG BANG SHOOTING!"
Tony rushes at the Bugster dodging it's attempts to shoot him, but before he can get to him he's suddenly shot back by the Black Ex-aid who stands menacingly with his device aimed at Tony.
"You again! You know, you're starting to really become a thorn in my side!" Tony shouts aggressively pulling his own gun up and aiming it at the Black Ex-aid. That's when Mitch runs in already equipping his Gamer Driver and pulling out his Gashat.
"I will defeat all Bugsters. After them, I will be coming for you." Mitch tells Tony who smirks behind his helmet. "Henshin!"
"TADDLE QUEST!"
"GASHATTO! LET'S GAME! SUPER GAME! ULTRA GAME! WHAT'S YOUR NAME? I'm a Kamen Rider."
"Proceeding to Level 2."
"LEVEL UP! BATTLE FOR YOUR FUTURE, FIGHT FOR THE ADVENTURE! WELCOME TO TADDLE QUEST!"
"Actually, I have different plans for all of you today." A voice retorts from the shadows. "Henshin!"
"BAKUSOU BIKE!"
"Another Kamen Rider!" Mitch exclaims confused as the man inserts his Gashat into his Driver.
"GASHATTO! LET'S GAME! SUPER GAME! ULTRA GAME! WHAT'S YOUR NAME? I'm a Kamen Rider."
"Hmph, let's go for a drive." The new Rider comments jumping out of the shadows attacking Tony with two wheel-like weapons.
"GASHACON SWORD!"
"Proceeding with Bugster elimination." Mitch comments charging at the Bugster deflecting all it's shots. He gets up to the Bugster slicing it across the arm knocking it's gun out of it's hands. Meanwhile Tony continues to try to get the new Rider off him as he continues shooting him to no affect.
"Ha, got it!" The man shouts excitedly zipping away from Tony at blinding speeds holding Conner's Gashat.
"Give that back!" Tony shouts continuing to shoot at the new Rider who blocks the shots with his wheel weapon. The black Ex-aid raises his device aiming at the new Rider shooting him making him fly across the room dropping the Gashat. As if on cue, suddenly a van drives through the wall of the warehouse and I step out grabbing my Gashat.
"Conner!? How did you find us?" Mitch asks stepping away from the Bugster for a minute.
"Asuna and I tracked your phone when we started feeling a little bit worried." I explain to everyone seeing the new Rider. "Another one!"
"We've been over this Ex-aid. You're a little late to the party." Tony remarks sighing as he aims his weapon at me. "Hand the Gashat back over Ex-aid or would you like me to shoot you in your other arm?"
"That's not gonna happen Tony. Even if I'm hurt I'll get back up, I'll push through the pain and become stronger from it and my mistakes!" I shout equipping my Gamer Driver. "Henshin!"
"MIGHTY ACTION X!"
"GASHATTO! LET'S GAME! SUPER GAME! ULTRA GAME! WHAT'S YOUR NAME? I'm a Kamen Rider."
"Ultra Henshin!"
"LEVEL UP! MIGHTY JUMP! MIGHTY KICK! MIGHTY, MIGHTY ACTION X!"
"I will change the fates of the patient using my own hands!" I shout as Mitch locks against the Bugster, the new Rider attacks Tony, and the black Ex-aid jumps down charging at me holding something in his hand. I attempt to kick the black Ex-aid, but before I can I'm pushed back by him and shot in the chest. I then realize what he's holding, another Gashat!
"SHAKARIKI SPORTS!" His new Gashat sounds off before inserting it in the second slot on the Gamer Driver getting the attention of everyone in the room.
"You and me doctor! Level 3 commencing!" The black Ex-aid challenges closing the Gamer Driver and opening it again.
"LEVEL UP! MIGHTY JUMP! MIGHTY KICK! MIIIIGHTY AAAACTION X! SHAKARIKI SHAKARIKI! BAD BAD! SHAKATO RIKKITI! SHAKARIKI SPORTS!"
"Level 3!" I exclaim in disbelief as the black Ex-aid starts running towards me with the intent on finishing me off.
Next time on Kamen Rider Ex-aid! A new Rider has emerged, but who is he and what will happen when the black Ex-aid decides to fight him? Who is Graphite and why is he battling Mitch? Stolen Gashats and a missing Gamer Driver put Conner in the way of a deep mystery!
