F2G: FInally here! Back to canon after a short filler.
UK: Yep! Another canon-wise chapter present.~
F2G: Yup, plus while I'm doing this I'm also rewatching some Warframe and OOO videos.
UK: I have yet to finish up that Warframe Lore playlist you've told me about. XD
F2G: It's fine, honestly I've been rewatching some GMV's.
UK: Nice.~ :3
F2G: Well anyway, after this… or during I don't know yet, Nezha or Nova will finally meet the Greeed who aren't Ahnk.
UK: Yay! I get to see Kazari and Mezool!~ X3
F2G: Yup, and depending on how this goes this chapter could either go Nezha-centered or like the previous 3, balanced. Honestly hoping for the former because I'm having fun writing Nezha… speaking of which keep an eye out for a Nezha centric story in the near future.
UK: Hopefully balanced.~ And same on Nova. She's also fun to write. X3 I'm hoping to see it as well. *Chuckles*
F2G: Also, expect soon to see hints of a certain Detective Duo and a Deadly Duality being introduced into the story soon (Former is obvious to the Kamen Rider side, Latter is obvious to the people who know Warframe)
UK: Can't wait myself.~ X3
F2G: Also, hopefully this chapter will be one of the first major changes in the story.
UK: Feels like it.
F2G: Also if it's not obvious I need chapter title suggestions… please it's hard to mesh Warframe and Kamen Rider to form titles.
UK: I found Frooome to be creative. :3 And this one's title is just completely funny. XD
F2G: Honestly that's a placeholder if I can't come up with a better one by the time I upload this.
UK: Fair enough. *Secretly wishes it to be the title* God, the immaturity is high on me. XD
F2G: Somehow this is normal.
UK: True. :3
F2G: Well let's just start the story.
UK: Sweet.~ Let's count up the medals!~ X3
-LineBreak-
Nezha was honestly confused to be awoken while upside down. Last he knew he was on the floor in a blanket like it was a giant burrito… he blames Eiji for telling him that word. But he was still confused. "Um, guys… help?" he was however still in the burrito.
Rolling over from his perch, the Greeed glares at the Frame, yet there wasn't any hint of hate in it. "Why in the Hell are you like that?"
"... Do you mean the roll or me being upside down?" questioned the very ambiguous Frame.
"Both." Ankh answered back, leaning up and propping himself on his elbow. "Do you usually sleep like that or is it just out of habit?"
"Well the roll is because it's really comfy and warm, like a hug" Nezha explained the first bit "the hanging thing however, I have no clue but I blame Loki" Nezha answered.
Humming in accepting the answer, Ankh hops out of his perch and helps out on untangling Nezha out of the hanging burrito. However, he failed to catch the Frame, so Nezha ended up falling flat on the floor, thus abruptly waking Eiji from his slumber.
Nezha let out a muffled and awfully cheerful "Thanks Mr. Hand!"
"My name's not Mr. Hand, idiot…" Ankh sighs, but with a glance towards Eiji readjusting himself, he let's out a chuckle. "Good to see that you're trying to be awake, idiot."
From that comment, he got a pillow thrown at his face. He rolls his eyes as he stalks towards the man in the bed, his smirk not going away. "Come on, lazy ass, or Hina's going to kick your ass for sleeping in."
"Huh, I expected you guys to be reversed in this scenario" Nezha pointed out as he jumped up and dusted himself off.
"Nah, Eiji's sometime is like this. A lazy ass that can't wake up for crap." Ankh replies back as he shook his partner's shoulder roughly.
"Oh so like Rhino but less clumsy" Nezha stated, comparing morning Eiji to the morning Rhino in his mind.
"I guess the similarity is quite the same then." With a sigh from the failed attempt at shaking Eiji's shoulder, he resorts to just picking him up and dumping him on the floor, getting a yelp out of the action.
"What was that for, Ankh...?" Eiji questioned the bird Greeed as he slowly got up and dropped himself back onto his bed. His back hurt a bit from the abrupt drop.
"To get your ass up or I'll sick Nezha on you." Ankh threatened, a bit of playfulness hidden in the threat.
"Alright, but only because I don't want to be hugged to death." Eiji counters as he stands up and starts to dress into a different attire.
Somehow, through this entire exchange Nezha had disappeared. The door to the room left open, obviously showing that he just went to the main area of the building, especially with a cheer of "Morning Miss Nice Lady!"
"Good morning!" Chiyoko greeted him back with a cheery smile as she was cleaning the countertop. "Are Ankh and Eiji up? I would like some help with cleaning the tables before we open the restaurant, but I didn't want to be rude in waking them up."
"Yup!" Nezha cheered before grabbing a cleaning rag "I'll help too" he told her before cleaning a table.
"Thank you for helping me with this, Nezha." The owner replies in a grateful manner, happy that she got a bit of help with the cleaning.
Nezha nodded in a silent you're welcome before Eiji ran down, expecting to see, well something other than this.
Both owner and Frame heard snickering as Eiji came down. They didn't expect to see his underpants being worn on top of his head.
Nezha just stared silently "Is that normal?" he questioned as he finished the table.
"Not that I know of." Chiyoko replies back with uncertainty, though a chuckle made its way out and she had to cover her mouth to muffle it.
Ankh comes down with heavy thuds, smirk still present as he nonchalantly makes his way to kitchen. Coming out not a minute later, he takes a seat at the barstool, popsicle in hand. "Good to see that your underpants has another way of style on you, Eiji."
"Oh, hah, hah, Ankh... Although, you're usually not this carefree around any of us." Eiji replies as he quickly takes off the underpants from his head.
"Maybe I am, maybe I'm not. Can't a Greeed like me have a good morning without the bullcrap?" He takes a swipe at the popsicle, now grinning towards his partner without a care.
Sighing, Eiji takes the barstool next to Ankh, a bit of a frown etched onto his face. "Fair enough. You're usually uptight like a cranky mother would be." He shoots back with a grin of his own, getting a light glare and a "Hey!" of resentment sent his way.
Couple of hours of banter later and Nezha getting forced into a dress, a fat guy came running in. His skin having wrapped in gray bandages as he begged for help as he stole from other people's plates.
"A Yummy has arrived…" Ankh comments in a muttering tone, getting up from his seat. "Eiji." He says, not looking away from the Yummy as he holds up the OOO Core Medals in his changed hand.
"Can I get out of the dress now?" Nezha asked, unable to get his weapons because of said dress. Mostly because he didn't want to ruin it since it was borrowed.
"Does it look like I care?" Ankh retorts. "Just hurry up and get out of that ridiculous get-up."
"Yay!" Nezha cheered before somehow jumping out of the dress and folding it quickly before laying it on a table. Eiji took this moment to transform.
"Henshin!"
TAKA! TORA! BATTE!
TATOBA! TATOBA! TATOBA!
With the transformation completed, Eiji immediately heads over to grab the Yummy man's arm, who was almost in reach of a frightened couple.
Nezha appeared directly behind the Yummy possessed man before grabbing him by the shoulder and throwing him out the door before apologizing to the couple "Sorry for the disturbance, please enjoy your meal" he then ran out, a Glaive appearing in his hand before the Yummy emerged from the man in all it's fat… thing. "I-is that a cat" Nezha questioned with a tilt of his head, before shrugging and throwing the Glaive, only for it to bounce off the fat and ricochet back the Nezha who grabbed it before it could do any damage to him.
OOO comes running into the mix with Tora's claws out, swiping at the Yummy with a few swings, but they too weren't enough to hurt it. Each swipe bounced off the fat rolls. He tried a kick and that resulted in getting some coins out.
Ankh, on the sidelines, took his time in observing the Yummy as OOO and Nezha battled it. "I see now… So, this Yummy can't get hurt with blades alone." He smirks as an idea comes into play, then yells out, "Hey, Eiji! Use Batte to kick it instead of Tora!"
Nezha deciding to take Ankh's advice first activated his Flamewalker Ability and kicked the Yummy, coins bursting out as it caught fire "Fat burns, forgot about that" he murmured to himself.
Powering up Batte with the green part of the transformation lighting up, OOO jumps and aims his starting kick at the Yummy. He then proceeded to multi-kick the stomach area, coins flying everywhere from each kick being delivered.
The Yummy, realizing that it was losing decided to retreat, by retreating right back into its host "Oh, so this Greeed is like an Infested" Nezha asked out loud before pulling out his pistol and aiming it at the fat guy "Well, better kill it before it spreads" he stated before taking aim with the high powered gun.
Before Nezha could shoot, OOO intervenes in a hurried manner, putting himself between the Yummy man and the Frame with outstretched hands. "No! Please don't hurt him yet!"
"Eh, why not? We should kill it before it has a chance to mature" Nezha stated like it was common sense as he tried to pass OOO.
"It is true, Eiji. We should kill the Yummy before it's too late to stop it." Ankh comes in as he spoke, a deep frown shown.
OOO shook his head, dropping his hands to his sides. "No, it's not true. The Yummy has a hostage trapped within it and I'm not letting either of you kill it before we save him."
"I'll be blunt, I don't think the Host will live past a year anyway" Nezha pointed out as the fat guy got farther away as Nezha kept trying to aim past OOO.
"What makes you say that, Nezha?" Eiji retorts while blocking Nezha still, defiance shown in his posture.
"Well if the Yummy is any indication, then he's probably been forced to eat more than he'd like and unless he does something about that he'd probably die after we extract the Yummy" Nezha pointed out as he fired, only to miss and hit a lamppost, taking off half of the pole.
With the Yummy long gone and out of sight, Eiji transforms back as he counters back, "Not unless we get the Yummy out of him before it matures fully."
"But it's similar to an Infested, it'll probably take over the rest of his body if it matures" Nezha took a guess as he sheathed his weapons.
"A parasitic Yummy such as that will have to complete its host's desire before taking over, Nezha." Ankh replies, siding with the Frame on the situation.
"So an Infested" Nezha stated making the comparison, obviously not considering that he was about to kill a person because of a simple connection.
"You both are not getting it!" Eiji rejects, a little hysterical at the thought that both Frame and Greeed were against him into killing the parasitic Yummy.
"What's not to get? This is a war and innocents get hurt" Nezha stated a matter-of-factly.
"A person's life is worth more than killing them because they're infected." Eiji retaliates as he frowns deeply towards the two, then starts to head towards going into the restaurant.
Nezha sighs before perking up "Fine I'm sorry, but I think Nova would be able to help beat the Yummy" Nezha suggested remembering that Nova had abilities that would be useful.
Stopping at hearing Nezha's suggestion, Eiji turned back towards him with a recollected look. "I haven't considered that…" He smiles, the thought of killing the Yummy pushed back.
"Yeah, if it comes out she can slow it down and bombard it with Anti-Matter" Nezha stated beaming with pride at the suggestion.
"That isn't a bad idea." Ankh agreed. "From what I've seen from Nova, she has the ability to control orbs around her and make them attack the target."
"Yeah, plus she can make it stay in one place and slow it down" Nezha stated as he smiled with the helmet, somehow.
"However," Ankh begun, taking on a serious look towards Nezha, "We can't let the other Greeed find out about this. If they get ahold of her without us knowing, then they would have the advantage on us. Same goes for you, too, Nezha."
Nezha put his finger to his chin with a slight tilt of his head "Well that wouldn't be the first time a Frame was captured. But I have an idea" Nezha stated before suddenly running off.
Both bird Greeed and OOO user watch the Frame run off to wherever it is that he was going, donning confused expressions. Somehow, knowing that Nezha is childish, in a way, most of the time, Eiji knew that if the Frame would get an idea, it wouldn't go correctly or it ends up with something exploding.
The human began to run after Nezha, leaving behind Ankh for a bit. A bit surprised by the sudden action, Ankh follows, catching up to Eiji as they made a turn on the curb. Only to be met with the sight of no Nezha.
-Hours Later, when Kazari appears against OOO and Ankh-
All day. That's how long it took to get this Yummy as weak as it was. A Scanning Charge would've finished it but a certain Cat Greeed had interfered and stopped the attack. "Now now OOO, there's no need to destroy my Yummy, it hasn't even reached maturity yet" Kazari teased as he stood beside his Fat Cat Yummy.
"It has to be. A human's life is at risk from it." Eiji counters, glaring behind his mask.
"Yes true, but it is this person's ultimate Desire, to simply devour all food until he burst. Not my fault that he can't stop" Kazari stated as he pointed a paw out. He was about to attack with his Yummy when suddenly a sharp pain struck his back and a hand burst forward from his stomach, holding a Lion Medal right in front of him.
"Well, looks like my plan worked. Mister Kitty fell for it" stated the Androgynous Frame from behind Kazari before he pulled his hand out with both the Core Medal and a handful of Cell Medals. Then he threw his Chakram at Eiji and teleported to it before it hit, landing on Eiji with a hug. "I'm back!"
Eiji barely had enough balance to keep himself up after Nezha piled driven himself onto him by a hug. "G-Good job, Nezha…" He spoke in a strained voice as the hug nearly crushes him to the point of having a couple of his ribs cracked by the pressure.
"You brat!" shouted Kazari weakly as he glared at the Frame. He would've attacked by now, but after just losing a Medal would've been suicide. So instead he spat an order out to the Yummy before addressing the Frame "I'll be back for that you brat" he angrily told him before disappearing in a sudden Yellow cloth appearing as a tornado.
Nezha just blew a Raspberry before looking at Ankh "Do we have a third Yellow for a combo?" Nezha asked, having figured a small pattern with the Core Medals.
Ankh smirks, confirming Nezha's question. "We got all three for a combo now."
Nezha jumped off of OOO with a cheer before suddenly holding the Taka Medal with the Lion Medal replacing it's slot. "Let's go OOO!" he shouted as he got into a martial arts stance, his only visible weapon being some form of silver metal Knuckles on his fist and feet.
"Got it!" Eiji readies himself as well, getting into a battle stance.
"Eiji, before I give out Cheetah, a combo is dangerous for OOO to use." He warns as he tosses the Cheetah Core Medal to his partner. "Use them wisely…"
"Good luck" Nezha chirped out excitedly as the Yummy started to charge forward.
Without a doubt, OOO slips the Core Medal into the slot, commencing the transformation sequence. The Medal's shown by the belt intercepting the Yummy and pushing it back.
Lion! Tora! Cheetah!~
La-Tah La-Tah, La-Tora~~Tar!
The sudden brightness from the sequence dims. The combo shows the helmet having the lion's golden mane surrounding blue visors, followed by the chestplate being the Tiger's face design and the arms being the claws part. Lastly, the legs were yellow plated, along with claws finalizing the combo.
Nezha just stared at OOO current look "...Thats a lot of yellow" he deadpanned before running at the Yummy, jumping and kicking it in the face, Cell Medals coming out like blood.
OOO immediately runs towards the Yummy, the claws pulsating as they flip out for attack. Getting a few swipes, each one bounces off the Yummy's body with a 'boing'.
"Bladed weapons don't work!" Nezha reminded OOO as he punched the Yummy in the gut before ducking under a swipe and hitting its side where a Kidney would be "Use your legs" he suggested.
With a thankful nod towards the Frame, OOO jumps into the air and directs his first kick to the Yummy's abdomen, getting some Cell Medals out of the result. He begins to multi-kick in the same area, quickening his kicks as Cell Medals fly to and fro.
Nezha nodded in approval before OOO pushed the Yummy back with a double kick, launching off and landing on his feet. "OOO, let's finish it" Nezha declared as he started Channelling Energy into his weapons.
"Right!" OOO takes out his Scanner Disk and slides it over the belt slots, each one making a yellow ring while they dinged.
Scanning Charge!
Suddenly, light began to develop around OOO's form, blinding the Yummy that had charged at him. It covered its eyes with both clawed hands, frightened by the brightness as it staggered backwards. With it disarmed for the moment, the armored Rider speeds through the yellow rings in front of him. After going through the last ring, he strikes at the Yummy, a bright flash enveloping them while the Yummy cries out.
As OOO performed his Scanning Charge, Nezha had begun to bombard the Yummy with kicks and punches, each one causing coins to erupt. However, unnoticed to him a few were actually absorbed by him and enhanced his strikes, before getting behind it and kicking it at the same time OOO struck.
The Yummy feline couldn't take the damage anymore and from the final hits, it explodes into Cell Medals and smoke.
"That was AWESOME" Nezha shouted as he threw his hands up in celebration.
"I know, right?!" Eiji cheers, but with the adrenaline rush spent from the fight, he immediately falls forward, succumbing to unconscious. His transformation falls away, showing the human without the protected armor.
Nezha just stared at the unconscious traveller before picking him up and carrying him on his back "I assume that these Combo's consume a lot of energy?" Nezha questioned the Greeed.
Ankh nods. "Yes. Each combo will have to take up a whole lot of energy from the user, but with time, I think he will get the hang of it where they don't take so much in."
Nezha nodded as he carried his human friend "... Can I carry the Lion Medal, I did take it from Mister Kitty" Nezha questioned.
The bird Greeed makes a frown at the question, doubt and uncertainty coming behind it. However, he would have to deal with the childish Frame for the time being and safety to the required Core Medals is needed. He sighs with reluctance. "Just as long as you don't lose it. It's a vital part." Ankh chides.
"Don't worry, I may not look it, but I am the equivalent of a one man Armada" Nezha stated, getting the phrase wrong, but he was far from being forgetful of important things.
The other being hands over the Lion Core Medal to the Frame, crossing his arms as he turns. "Now, before we have another mess to deal with, let's head back…" He begins walking while muttering, "And that damn feline better not show up again…"
Nezha nodded in agreement before shortly following, unaware of the Medal absorbing into his skin, its color slowly fading into a black Void.
-Meanwhile with a certain Detective Duo-
The news was strange that day. Supposedly a meteor had landed right outside the city, but any chance to investigate it was almost snuffed out when it was mentioned to suddenly had disappeared. If it weren't for the fact that all possible leftover Dopants were already taken care of, the Detective Duo known as Shotarou and Philip might've been able to do more beyond the occasional missing pet.
Even the radio had nothing to say, aside from strange rumors of Monsters and a new Rider appearing in Yumemi Town. Plus the occasional sighting of strange beings helping them. Shotarou had actually grown so bored that he was reviewing older cases while Philip just listened to the Radio, when there was suddenly a knock on the door.
Both detectives reacted to the knock, then looked at each other. "I got it." Shotarou gets up from his chair and bounds towards the door.
Philip gets up after him, also heading in the same direction. "No, I got it, Shotarou. It's my turn."
"Please... Last time was yours, Philip. Now, it's mine." The Joker smirks towards his partner.
However, as they bickered on who gets the door, the knocking progressed for a few seconds before the door suddenly gets kicked down.
"Oops." muttered what could only be described as a Dopant that was half black and half white with an almost dress around their waist and 'sleeves' at the wrist. "Lotus Dammit Day" muttered a light voice as the darker halfs 'eyes' lit up.
Silence permeated the room as the two detectives stood across from the newcomer, shock on one of them while the other was becoming interested. Oh, boy...
The lighter halfs 'eyes' lit up as it muttered in a almost pout "Not my fault that they were so slow" the darker half proceeded to slap it's hand to its forehead.
"How fascinating…" Philip muttered to himself as he observes the Frame with curiousness.
"D-DOPANT!" Shotarou suddenly shouts as he quickly gets his Joker Memory out, but Philip intervenes by hurriedly placing his hands on Shotarou's shoulder and wrist.
"No, don't! Not yet, at least…" The Cyclone holder spoke in crypticness, then takes a curious look at the Frame. "This is a most interesting kind of humanoid I've seen yet…"
"Oh what fresh Hell is this?" both sides asked in a duel toned voice, though it was obvious one side was a little more giddy.
-LineBreak-
