Chapter 7: The Search for Kaixa, and the Reunion
In the night by the river side, group of teenagers and kids at who are at least 10 years old is seen looking for someone by the river using flash lights to help see, and one of them was Akeno along with an adult man.
The man has short brown hair with grey parts on the sides with a thin chinstrap scruffy beard, and white eyes. He was wearing a brown trench coat, under a black sweater, with brown jeans with shoes, wears glasses over his eyes. This is Hikaru Midorikawa.
"Nagato!" They each called out one at a time as they search for this Nagato.
"Professor, everyone! I found him!" A girl called out which made everyone else run to her.
The person she found was Kaixa who was lying on the ground and was growling in pain. Akeno quickly opens the Kaixa Phone and pressed the 'END' button undoing the transformation, revealing Nagato an 18 year old young man with brown hair and eyes, wearing a black shirt with matching jeans and boots.
"Nagato!" Hikaru knelt down to him to check on Nagato who soon looks at him.
"P-Professor I done it…I beaten…an Orphnoch…" Nagato mutters before he loses conscious as he closed his eyes, and to their horror they watch as he turned to ash like how an Orphnoch is defeated leaving only the Kaixa Gear.
The others started to cry for the loss of their dear friend Nagato, while Hikaru still had his horrified look on his face as he picks up the Kaixa Gear and looks at it.
"Good god…what have I done?" Hikaru mutters in horror.

(Next day)
After the battle against the Crocodile Orphnoch, Kazuto and his team heads back to their school to report what happened. Arisu was quite shocked about this and apologize to them for what happened, and promise to be more careful.
In Haruhiko's house, Kazuto in the guest room provided for him is seen seated by a table in the room working on a small device on the table.
Kazuto then stops working on it before he leans back on his chair, as he mind was still on Kaixa yesterday. He and others search for the mysterious Rider that helped him, but couldn't find him anywhere. Kazuto was still curious about him and wonders what happened to him, and wants to learn more about him and wants to know how he got his Gear.
'Well thinking about it won't help.' Kazuto thought before he stands up.
Kazuto now dressed in his casually clothes and carrying a duffle bag that holds his Faiz Gear inside, leaves his room and was now in the living room/kitchen of the house. Kazuto then saw Haruhiko wearing causal clothes is seated on the table like he was waiting for him.
"Hey," Haruhiko waved at him and Ruru soon waves at him as well.
"You two…? What are you doing here?" Kazuto asked.
"Well for one thing I live here remember." Haruhiko pointed out.
"Oh yeah that's right. But that's not what I meant." Kazuto said.
"Well I'm here because you're going to look for that Rider that helped us yesterday, right?" Haruhiko asked.
"Yeah…I still can't help but be curious about him, especially how he got his belt, which is why I'm going to look for him." Kazuto said.
"Alright then but you're going need help with that. Don't you?" Haruhiko asked.
"I guess that's why you're dressed and awake in a Sunday. But I can't ask you do this, especially since this might be dangerous." Kazuto said.
"Well I really wanted to stay out of it. But Mai-senpai forced me into doing this…" Haruhiko sighs which made Kazuto blinked in surprised.
"Wait what about Mai?" Kazuto asked.
"Dang it, Haruhiko!" Mai exclaimed before she slams the door opened as she walks in and Reina who was behind falls to the ground.
"Mai?! And Reina…?" Kazuto said a little surprised to them here.
"And they're not alone." Kiba said before he walks in and waved at Kazuto.
"Kiba? You're here too?" Kazuto said surprised once again.
"Yep, Haruhiko and Mai said that you've might be going out to search for that Rider, so she asked us to help." Kiba explained.
"Really?" Kazuto asked.
"Yeah of course." Mai said before she walks up in front of Kazuto. "I mean you've help us out a bunch a times, so we want to return the favor."
"You guys…" Kazuto said in awe and wasn't sure what to say, before he saw the eager looks on their faces except for Haruhiko who had a somewhat eager face, before he nodded. "Alright, I can tell I won't convince you otherwise, so let's get to work."
They all nodded in agreement. Then they all head outside together and Kazuto soon saw Koito dressed in casual outfit and was waiting for them.
"Took you long enough." Koito said.
"Koito? What are you doing here?" Kazuto asked.
"Yeah sorry…I told her what we're going to do and she kind of followed me here." Kiba answered as he rubs the back of his head.
"Why though?" Kazuto asked.
"Because I'm curious of what we'll find." Koito told him.
Kazuto sighs as he rubs the back of his head before he said.
"Okay then…welcome aboard I guess." Kazuto said.
(Meanwhile)
In the Smart Brain CEO's office, the CEO Kyoji Murakami is watching video footage of Kaixa battle alongside Faiz and Orga against the Crocodile Orphnoch and with the other two Orphnochs.
The phone rings and he soon answered it.
"Hello?" Kyoji said.
"Greetings chief Murakami." The person who called was Mr. J alive, and Murakami wasn't that surprised by that.
"Oh Mr. J, I'm glad to see you're back on your feet." Kyoji said.
"Thank you sir and I have news about one of the missing Gears." Mr. J said.
"I know I just received footage of it." Kyoji said before he saw that sparks of electricity appears around Kaixa as he screams in pain. "It would appear that my old friend had made his trip, but unfortunately for him the human that he given the Kaixa Gear to is most likely died. But none the less, you have a new priority. Is to find Professor Midorikawa, eliminate him along with those who are with him and bring the Kaixa Gear back to me. Think you can do that?"
"Of course sir, it will be done." Mr. J swore to him before he hangs up.
Kyoji smirks as he puts the phone down.
Kazuto and the others split up in teams of two, Kazuto with Mai, Haruhiko with Reina, and Kiba with Koito. They asked around if anyone saw Kaixa, but had no luck.
Kazuto and Mai were now at the construction site where they first met him, while Mai was looking around for some clues, Kazuto tried to use his enhanced sense of smell to see if he can catch Kaixa's scent but the scent was too cold for him to find.
'Great the scent got cold…' Kazuto thought before he stands up.
"I couldn't find anything." Mai said before she walks to Kazuto.
"Yeah same with me too." Kazuto told her.
After that they decided to look around and ask people who lived or had worked in the area asked if they had seen Kaixa, but so far no success. After like an hour of searching they decided to meet up and have a lunch break in a fast food restaurant.
"Hmm…we've search for an hour but we still hadn't found anything about that guy…" Mai said before she drinks her soda and puts it down. "Maybe there's a chance he must have left town."
"Maybe but I still like to be sure of that." Kazuto said before he was about to take a bite of his warm burger but soon flinched by the heat of it.
"I still can't believe he's gone…" Kazuto enhanced hearing soon picks up a boy's voice before he slightly turns his head around.
He saw two 15 year olds seated on the same table together.
One is a boy with unruly light brown hair and has purple eyes.
The other was a girl with auburn red hair tied in a twin tails style and has sea blue eyes.
Kazuto saw the sadness in their eyes, and he recognized them as the sadness of losing someone who was important.
"Yeah me too…" The girl mutters before she looks up. "But we can't be sad about it forever, we need to be strong for the others and for Nagato."
'Guess they must have lost someone who was important to them. I should probably stop eavesdropping on them then.' Kazuto thought out of respect because he also knows that feeling but his enhanced hearing had heard what the boy said next.
"But still it was so soon, especially since he beaten an Orphnoch…!" The boy said, which really had gotten Kazuto's attention as his eyes widen before he turns.
"Kazuto-kun?" Reina asked wondering what's wrong.
"Yeah…all because of that Gear…I still can't believe the professor would still let him use it, despite his warnings." The girl said.
"Yeah but it's not like he know that was going to happen." The boy said.
"I know but still…"
This had made Kazuto come to conclusion.
'Wait a minute are they talking about that Rider?' Kazuto thought before Kiba whispers to him.
"I heard it too. Those two must have a connection with that Rider." Kiba told him.
"Well there's only way to make sure." Kazuto said before he stands up and walks to the two of them, which made the others a little curious of what's going on.
"Excuse me." Kazuto calls out which made the boy and girl turned to him.
"Yeah what is it?" The boy asked.
"I'm sorry but I couldn't help but overhear what you two were talking about. Care to tell me what's wrong?" Kazuto asked.
This made their eyes to slightly widen that he heard them despite the fact they were speaking quietly before they turned back to each other when they realized something.
"You don't think he's a…" The boy whispers quietly to the girl.
"Yeah I'm sure of it…" The girl nodded.
Kazuto sort of figured they were having a suspicion of him, and he was about to say something to ease their thinking, but the boy soon claps his hands which made a sonic boom that was loud enough to make everyone in the building to cover their ears.
The girl then grabs onto the boy's hand before they run forward together at Kazuto, when Kazuto manage to shake off the loud ringing in his ears he was about to grab the two of them but his hands phase through her and the boy as they phase through his entire body as they kept running.
"What the…?" Mai said a little surprised to hear that before they phased through her and soon through the walls heading outside, and when they phased through her she flinched. "That felt creepy?!"
"Look!" Kiba pointed out which made everyone looks and saw the two of them now running away from the area.
"After them don't let them get away!" Kazuto said before he runs outside through the door and chased after them.
"Why? What's going on?" Mai asked before she and the others soon followed Kazuto.
"We're not sure how but we think they have a connection to that Rider yesterday." Kiba answered.
"What…? But how do you know that?" Haruhiko asked.
"We just do! Just trust us alright!" Kiba told them.
"A-Alright…" Mai nodded.
After the boy and girl thought they lost Kazuto they head towards an abandon warehouse on the harbor as they run inside.
"Looks like we've lost him…but man Zorome you should really learn to be more careful." The girl told him.
"How is this, my fault?! You were speaking in the opened too, Miku!" Zorome told her.
"Only because you started talking first!" Miku argues back.
"How about it's because you're both idiots." They flinched when they heard that voice and soon saw Kazuto and his friends arriving in the warehouse.
"Look I understand that you have suspicion about us, but believe me, we won't cause you any harm." Kazuto told them.
As they were walking towards the two of them, they soon heard the doors closing right behind them which made them turned to the door being closed, and soon notice a black fog covering the ceiling which darkens the room and their field of vision.
Zorome and Miku smiles knowing this is their friends work, while Kazuto and the others wonders on what's going on.
"W-What's going on?" Reina wonders as she looks around as she walks backwards, not noticing that a figure was standing behind her before she bumps onto that figure. "Eh?"
Reina blinks before she turns around and the figure attacks her sending her to the ground.
"Reina-chan!" Mai said in worried when she saw her on the ground.
She then notices the figure running at her before it slams it's head onto her sending her to the ground.
"Mai!" Kazuto said.
Koito narrowed her eyes as she was going to use her chant, before the figure jumps at her and covered her hand with its mouth and soon throws her to the ground.
"Koito!" Kiba said in worried before he, Kazuto and Haruhiko watch each other's back.
"This speed, and strength, there's no doubt about it this thing is an Orphnoch…" Kiba said.
"But why is an Orphnoch here helping those two?" Haruhiko asked.
"I don't know but…" Kazuto said before he brings out the Faiz Gear and puts it on. "I intend to find out!"
Kazuto then opens his Faiz Phone and pressed in the code to activate the transformation sequence.
STANDING BY
This gotten the Orphnoch's attention when he heard that, before he sets his eyes on Kazuto as he raised his arm up.
"Henshin!" Kazuto shouted before he inserted his Faiz Phone into his Gear.
COMPLETE
Kazuto soon transforms into Faiz, and his eyes and Photon Streams were glowing in the darkness. This surprised the Orphnoch before he tightens his fist as Faiz flicks his wrist before he turns to Kiba and Haruhiko.
"You two helped the others. I'll handle the Orphnoch." Faiz told them, Kiba and Haruhiko nodded they run and check on their friends.
"You!" The Orphnoch shouted.
Faiz soon turns at the Orphnoch and saw him flying towards, going to punch at him which he manage to dodge in time, and soon punches at the Orphnoch who catches his punch, and the Orphnoch punches back at Faiz and he manage to catch it and soon the two were in arms locked.
"Who are you?! And why do you have the Faiz Gear?!" The Orphnoch demanded.
"Do you really want to ask that? Or are you really that out of touch?" Faiz said before he pushed the Orphnoch's arms back and kicks at the Orphnoch sending it away before he lands on his feet.
The Orphnoch kicks one of his legs backwards before he charges at Faiz to ram at him, and Faiz manages to dodge it by side stepping and punches the Orphnoch.
The Orphnoch then turns back to Faiz and jumps at him, and manage to land on Faiz before he fallen backwards on the ground with the Orphnoch on top of him. The Orphnoch then punches at Faiz's face two times which he manage to dodge, and soon Faiz placed his foot onto the Orphnoch's chest and pushed him off of him.
As Faiz and the Orphnoch stands back up, Faiz pulls out his Faiz Phone in Gun Mode, and pressed '1-0-6' and 'Enter' to activate Burst Mode.
BRUST MODE
Faiz fires a three round bursts of laser shots at the Orphnoch which made the Orphnoch to stumble back before he fallen on one knee. The Orphnoch soon got stands back up, and was going to charge at Faiz, but he suddenly stops as he growls in pain before he placed his hand on his stomach and soon fallen on one hand and knee.
"No…not now…" The Orphnoch said in pain.
Faiz was wondering what was going on but doesn't have the time to think about it and used this to his advantage as he pulls out his Faiz Pointer and inserted his Mission Memory into it.
READY
Faiz then attaches the Pointer onto his ankle and was going to pressed 'Enter' on his Phone to used his finishing move on the Orphnoch…
"Wait stop!" A girl said before she jumps down from the ceiling and got in front of Faiz and the Orphnoch.
The fog begins to clear up and Faiz saw a good look of the girl. She looks to be 10 had long black hair that reaches to her back and has yellow eyes, wearing a black T-shirt with a red cat symbol on it with a red skirt and has matching shoes.
Faiz was wondering why this girl was protecting the Orphnoch.
"Kairi no…" The Orphnoch said.
"Please don't hurt Hikaru-san…please…" Kairi begged, and Faiz was slightly surprised when she said the Orphnoch's name.
"Hikaru…?" Faiz said.
Mai and the others saw what was happening and was quite surprised on what their seeing, a human girl protecting an Orphnoch.
"Professor!" Zorome and Miku runs to the Orphnoch to check on him.
The doors soon opened up and saw 5 more people were running into the room and to the Orphnoch, one of them were Akeno, two were teenagers and the other two were the same age as Kairi. Akeno and another got in front of Faiz to protect the Orphnoch while the others check on him.
"You…?" Faiz said in surprised to see Akeno here.
"Professor Midorikawa, are you alright?" One of them asked, and Faiz was surprised to hear that name.
"Yes I am…but you all have to get out of here…" The Orphnoch told them.
"No there's no way we're leaving you!" Akeno said.
"Professor…Professor Midorikawa is that you?" Faiz asked, getting the Orphnoch attention before he stands up and looks at Faiz, and the Rider's eyes widen beneath his helmet when he recognize his Orphnoch form.
The Orphnoch was base around a goat, with a few furry parts on his shoulders, wrists, and ankles.
"It is you…" Faiz mutters in surprised, which had gotten Goat Orphnoch's attention.
"Do I know you?" The Goat Orphnoch asked.
"Yes it's me…" Faiz said before he changes back to Kazuto. "It's me Kazuto…Kazuto Inui…"
This surprised the Goat Orphnoch.
"Inui…?" The Goat Orphnoch said before he walk by the group that was protecting and got a good look of Kazuto and saw the image of him as a child appeared before it disappeared. "Kazuto-kun…"
The Goat Orphnoch changes into his human form of Hikaru Midorikawa. Kazuto and Hikaru slowly walk to each other and hug each other.
"I don't believe it…you're alive…" Kazuto mutters in joy. "I thought you were dead…"
"So did I…I'm so glad you're alright…" Hikaru said this made everyone else in the room to be a little confused.
Unknown to them is that Leo is watching them outside of the building and in hiding.
"Hmm…I guess this must be some sort of happy reunion for him." Leo said before he leaves to make preparations for his next move.
After they were done hugging, Hikaru had brought Kazuto, his friends and the people of his group heads to a RV that was nearby around the warehouse.
Inside Hikaru had finished making coffee as he poured them into cups for Kazuto and his friends.
"When I heard what happen to your parents I fear the worse that you were among them." Professor Midorikawa said before he picks up the coffee cups and hands one to Kazuto which he accepted.
"Well I didn't." Kazuto said before he blows on his coffee to cool it down, which made Professor Midorikawa chuckles seeing that Kazuto hadn't change much.
Hikaru then turns to his friends and hands them a cup.
"Here you go." Hikaru offered, this made Mai to slightly flinched before she slowly accepts before she quickly moves away from him.
"T-Thank you…" Mai mutters.
This made Hikaru to blink in confusion, before Kazuto got his attention.
"Yeah I'm sorry about that professor. They didn't have that many pleasant encounters with other Orphnochs." Kazuto told him.
"Oh I see…" Hikaru nodded in understanding before he placed the cups on a nearby table for the others to take. "I know I can't speak for the rest of my race, but I want you to know that not all Orphnochs has the same thinking with Smart Brain's."
"Okay…" Haruhiko said before he took a sip of his coffee. "But if you don't mind me asking, how do you and Kazuto know each other?"
"Well to make things short, I was Smart Brain's head scientist at the time, and Kazuto's parents were the chef engineers in the technology department, and I soon become a good friend of theirs." Hikaru said.
"That is true." Kazuto said before he took a sip of his coffee but flinched as he felt that it was still too hot. "But professor why are you here in Shibuya."
"Well I heard rumors of a Rider fighting against unknown monsters and Phantoms, and when I saw the picture of you being Faiz I have to make sure who was wearing that armor." Hibaru said. "But I'm glad to see it was you, and that you've protected the Faiz Gear for this long, thanks for that Kazuto-kun."
"You're welcome professor, but there's something I need to ask." Kazuto said getting Hikaru's attention. "Where were you all this time and why did you disappeared after the fire, and more importantly how does the Faiz Gear have to do with all of this."
"Do you really want to learn that Kazuto-kun?" Hikaru asked.
"I do." Kazuto nodded with a burning determination in his eyes.
"What about you kids, do you want to hear this too?" Hikaru asked Kazuto's friends.
"Of course." Mai nodded and so did the others.
"Very then," Hikaru nodded before he walks to the back of the RV to search for something. "As you already know your parents and I were working on a project together, and that project lead to the development of the Faiz Gear. But that wasn't the only Gear we've made."
"Really?" Kazuto asked a little surprised to hear.
"Yes, we helped develop two more Gears along with Faiz, and their names is Delta," Hikaru said before he pulls out a brief case placed on the table on the side of the RV and opens it and to their surprised it was Kaixa's Gear. "And the Kaixa Gear."
"You see we were once told that the three Gears were meant to help bring peace between humans and Orphnoch, so we didn't question it and built them." Hikaru said before he rubs his thumb and finger on his eyes. "But we soon found out that they have the intention of using the Gears to be used as weapons to help wipe out humanity and to be protectors."
Kazuto had figured that part already but to hear that from one of the people who helped build the Gears was another story.
"Wait a minute, wait a minute!" Ruru said getting everyone's attention. "You said that there are only three Gears, but what about Kiba-chi's here? I mean he has a Gear too."
"Wait what?" Hikaru said before he turns to Kiba.
"Yeah that's true." Kiba said before he brought out his Orga Gear out of his duffle bag showing to Hikaru.
"Incredible…" Hikaru said before he gotten a good look of the Orga Gear. "Where and how did you get this?"
"I'm sorry to say but that's a secret, but let's just says I got it from a friend." Kiba answered.
"Is that so…?" Hikaru hummed while he still wants to learn more about the Orga Gear he respects a man's secret most of all. "But anyway let's get back on track. When your parents and I discovered Smart Brain's true intention for the Gears we didn't want any part of that, so we set the fire to escape from Smart Brain and bringing each of the Gears with us, Faiz with your parents to you, Kaixa with me, and I sent the Delta Gear to a good friend of mine to keep it safe."
"That's good to hear…" Kazuto said before he remembers something Hikaru said before. "Wait a minute you said the Gears were made not only to be weapons, but to be protectors as well?"
"That I did." Hikaru nodded.
"Okay but protectors to who or what? Smart Brain? The CEO? The Orphnochs?" Kazuto asked.
"None of those I'm afraid...the Riders were made to be the servants for something far more greater than Smart Brain and even the CEO himself…they were made to be the guardians to the Orphnoch King." Hikaru answered.
"What?!" Kazuto gasped before he stands up and drops his cup to the floor. "But I thought that was only a theory?!"
"Wait slow down, what's this King you two are talking about?" Mai asked not getting a clue of this.
"Well I only read a theory about this in Smart Brain's archives, but there was a theory about a one being that will fully evolved into a Perfect Orphnoch an Arch to be precise, the one Orphnoch that will be a fully evolved being that will stand at the top of the Orphnoch evolutionary chain as the king…but that's supposed to be only a theory and a myth…" Kazuto said.
"No Kazuto…I'm afraid the Orphnoch King is no longer a mere theory…because he exists in this very day!" Hikaru stated which surprised Kazuto even further and so did his friends, except for Kiba before he looks to the floor as he was already aware of this.
"What but…professor you can't be serious…" Kazuto mutters in denial.
"I wish I wasn't Kazuto-kun, but I am very serious." Hikaru said. "You see Faiz, Kaixa, and Delta were design to only be used by Orphnochs, and will serve the King as his weapons of conquest and to be his protectors for all those who would dare oppose him."
"So that's why they want the Gears back so badly." Haruhiko said.
"Wait, if that's all true then why I hadn't seen or heard anything about the Orphnoch King?" Kazuto asked.
"That's because Smart Brain is keeping the King's existence as a very guarded secret, and not all Orphnoch knows about him. And base on what I can gather, the reason we hadn't seen the King yet, is because he's still in a hibernated and vulnerable state, and they change his general location every week, and the only people who knows the locations is Smart Brain's board of directors and the CEO himself. I spent the last three years hunting down King looking him, but so far I found nothing." Hikaru said.
"So that's why I hadn't seen you until now…" Kazuto said realizing that Hikaru was hunting down the Orphnoch King.
"Yeah, when I heard the rumors of Faiz of appearing around here in this city, I needed to be sure if he was an ally or not, and I'm glad to find out that it's you." Hikaru said.
"I'm glad to hear that, but wait, what about that guy who used the Kaixa Gear, where is he?" Kazuto asked.
This made Hikaru and the others that know Kaixa to flinched, before Hikaru looks down in sadness.
"H-He's died…" Hikaru said which surprised Kazuto and the others except for Kiba who already figured that.
"What…what do you mean he's died?" Kazuto asked, Hikaru sighs before he closed the Kaixa Gear's brief case.
"Like I told you before the Gears were design to only be used by Orphnochs, but for some reason the Kaixa Gear is able to be used by humans as well." Hikaru said. "The one who used the Gear and helped you yesterday was name Nagato. He and the other kids you've met are special ability users like yourself and your friends."
"Really?" Reina asked.
"Yeah…" Hikaru nodded. "You see around a year ago, their school had fallen victim to a Smart Brain attack and killed most of their friends, classmates, and teachers…lucky I was there to help and saved who I can, but I still figured that Smart Brain won't leave any witnesses alive so I brought them with me to help hunt the King. You see Nagato wanted to help in the fight against Smart Brain and the King, and I figured we need every Rider we can get to help win this war, so I let him used the Kaixa Gear…But that only prove to be a mistake!"
"But why though? What happened?" Haruhiko asked even though he sounds a little scared of what he'll hear.
"Because when a human uses the Kaixa Gear…the user will die…" Hikaru said, which further shocked Kazuto and his friends except for Kiba but still had a sadden look on his face. "You see even if a human can use the Kaixa Gear, the Gear's output would still be too much for the body to bear so ultimately it will kill the user from the inside out until his body turned to ash. And I still let Nagato used it…! If only I known…!"
"Professor…I'm so sorry to hear that…" Kazuto said.
"And it's not your fault." Akeno said getting their attention as she walks to Hikaru and placed her hands on his shoulder and hand. "Nagato know the risk of becoming a Rider, and he fully accepted them despite the fact that he might die. I'm sure by now he has no regrets."
"Akeno…" Hikaru mutters before he wipes his eyes with his arm. "Thank you…"
Kazuto's friends will really surprise by Hikaru's humanity because all of the other Orphnochs they've encountered so far didn't so the hint of remorse.
Zorome made a tight fist before he turns to the professor.
"Professor please let me used the Gear!" Zorome requested with strong determination.
"What? No I forbid that! You saw what happened to Nagato, I refuse to let the same thing happened to you kids!" Hikaru exclaimed.
"But you said it yourself we need every Rider we can to help beat Smart Brain and beat the King, so please let-!" Zorome said.
"I said no!" Hikaru exclaimed very loudly making him stop. "We'll find another way, alright! But right now I refuse to let any of you kids to even touch that Gear, because I can't bear to lose any of you."
Zorome looks down in anger before he runs outside and run away.
"Zorome wait!" Miku and two others followed him.
"But he still has a point though." Kazuto said getting everyone's attention. "We still need every Rider we can get, to even stand a chance to beat the King and Smart Brain. Professor why don't you use the Gear? I mean you're an Orphnoch yourself so your body should be able to handle it."
Hikaru sighs as he placed his hands on the table.
"Don't you think I want to?" Hikaru said before he turns to them and lifts up his shirt. "It's because I can't."
Kazuto and the others gasped of what they saw. Hikaru had a large scar on the side of his abdomen.
"Gruesome I know…" Hikaru said before he lowers his shirt to hide the scar. "I got this wound when I was escaping with the Kaixa Gear, I was lucky to make it out alive but sadly the injuries were too severe, these days I can only keep my Orphnoch form up for about five minutes without falling apart."
'So that's what it was.' Kazuto thought as he remembers Hikaru in his Orphnoch form growling in pain as he falls.
"So I highly doubt my body can even handle the power of a Gear, even if I wanted to use it." Hikaru said in sadness.
Kazuto and the others didn't know on what to say to that, before Mai realized something.
"Wait a minute, you said before that only an Orphnoch is able to use a Rider Gear, right?" Mai asked.
"Yes that's right." Hikaru nodded.
"Then how is Kazuto-kun able to use his?" Mai asked.
"Wait, you mean you don't know…" Hikaru started before Kazuto interrupted him.
"Professor…!" Kazuto quietly calls out getting his attention and saw the look in his eyes.
"Well it must be because; Kazuto-kun and the Faiz Gear are a special case. Yeah that's it." Hikaru stated.
"Really?" Haruhiko asked not sounding convinced about that.
"Yeah that's it." Kazuto reassured them, before he turns to Kiba who nodded in understanding.
"Well anyway everyone," Kiba said before he claps his hands. "How about we leave Kazuto and Professor Midorikawa alone to catch up, okay?"
Kiba then begins to gather Mai and the others and pushed them out of the RV to give Kazuto and Hikaru some time alone.
"W-Wait Kiba-kun…!" Mai said as she and the others were being pushed out the RV and Kiba closed the door.
After they were gone Kazuto sighs in relief, before Hikaru got his attention.
"They don't know, do they? About you being an Orphnoch yourself." Hikaru said.
"No they don't…and truth be told, I mostly prefer to keep it that way." Kazuto said.
"Well Kazuto-kun it's not my secret to tell, but you may have to consider that one day they might find out about it, and you have to accept what comes next after that." Hikaru told him.
Kazuto looks down in sadness and in wondering. They soon heard screaming outside which made them stand up.
"What the…?" Kazuto said.
"That was Miku-kun, come on!" Hikaru said before he and Kazuto runs out of the RV.
Outside on the harbor, Miku was cowering in fear as her back was against the wall, as she saw Zorome being pinned on the ground by the Crocodile Orphnoch's foot on his back. Mr. J had seen those two being chased by Kazuto and his friends and being curious he decided to follow them slowly and soon found these two by the docks.
"Alright, now about you tell me why those people were after you?" The Crocodile Orphnoch demanded.
"Miku…don't tell him anything, just run…" Zorome told his friend.
"Be quiet boy!" The Crocodile Orphnoch exclaimed before he stomps his foot on Zorome's back which made him cough out blood.
"Zorome!" Miku said in worried before the Orphnoch pointed his sword at Zorome's neck.
"Last chance; tell me what you know…" The Crocodile Orphnoch told her as he slowly lowers his sword at Zorome inch by inch…
A sonic scream was heard which made them look and Koito firing her sonic wave at the Crocodile Orphnoch which forced him to jump away from Zorome to dodge it.
The Crocodile Orphnoch, looks and saw Kazuto, Kiba wearing their Gears and their friends arriving in the area, and Akeno runs to Zorome and Miku to check on them.
"Are you two alright?" Akeno asked as she checks on them.
"Well, well isn't this my lucky day." The Crocodile Orphnoch said as he saw Hikaru together with Kazuto and his friends. "Not only did I find Professor Midorikawa, I also found Faiz. This is going to be good."
"That Orphnoch…" Kazuto said in surprised when he saw the Crocodile Orphnoch. "But he was destroyed by Kaixa."
"I recognize him…" Hikaru said getting their attention. "That's Mr. J of Lucky Clover."
"Lucky Clover? I heard about them aren't they supposed to be Smart Brain's elite squad." Kazuto said.
"Yeah that's them alright. The reason Mr. J is back standing is because he's a special regenerator type, meaning each time he dies he'll come back to life." Hikaru said.
"Wait wouldn't that mean he's technical invincible?" Haruhiko said.
"It would but there's a limit of how many times he'll come back." Hikaru told them.
"In that case, we just need to keep on beating him until he runs out of lives." Kazuto said before, he and Kiba steps forward.
They soon brought out their Phones and pressed the codes to activate their transformation sequence.
STANDING BY
"Henshin!" Kazuto and Kiba shouted before they inserted their Phones into their Gears, to transform into their respective Rider Forms.
Then the Riders and the Crocodile Orphnoch slowly walks at each other before they stopped when someone fires laser in the middle of their path.
"Hope you guys won't mind if I play too." They look and to everyone's surprised it was another Rider.
The Rider wore a white armored bodysuit with blue lines running along his body like Faiz and Orga, which was connected to the Gear around his waist. Over his upper body was hard looking as a pinkish, purple circle was in the center of, like some sort of core as more blue lines ran around and over it, forming a diagonal Psi symbol. He had metal fingertips, and gauntlets and greaves, and on his helmet, a trio of antennas with two going out to the sides and one going up, forming another Psi symbol which covered a circular large eye piece. He was armed with his Gear's Phone in Gun mode as he was pointing it at them before he lowers it.
This is Kamen Rider Psyga the Rider form of Leo.
"What the, another Rider?" Faiz gasped, and Orga was even more surprised by this.
"Don't get the wrong idea, Faiz. I'm not here to help you, I'm here for the Gear you have along with the Kaixa Gear." Psyga said before he pointed his gun at Faiz and fired a laser shot at him.
This surprised Faiz as he was about to dodge but was too late until Orga got in the way and took the shot.
"Kiba? Are you alright?" Faiz asked.
"Yeah I'm fine…and it's probably safe to say this guy isn't an ally." Orga said.
"Agreed." Faiz nodded in agreement.
"I'll handle him, you handle the Orphnoch." Orga said.
"Got it." Faiz nodded before, he and Orga to their respective opponents and soon charged and entered combat against them.
Orga punches at Psyga and he parries it, and Orga punches at him a few times as he kept on dodging his punches until Psyga catches his wrist and back handed punches at Orga and he catch his punch.
"What are you doing Leo?" Orga asked quietly.
"What does it look like? I'm making your cover be more convincing." Psyga told him quietly, before he pushed Orga as he moved passed him.
Psyga then kicks at Orga, and he parries his kicks before Psyga punches at Orga, and he catches his punch and punch back at Psyga and he manage to catch his punch.
"You could have at least informed me about this beforehand." Orga said.
"Now what would be the fun in that?" Psyga asked before he and Orga pushed each other back.
Psyga then back handed punch at Orga who manage to block it in time, and Orga back handed punch at Psyga as well but he blocks it with his forearm, and Psyga then grabs onto Orga's arm and holds him in a standing submission.
"But for now at least make this look convincing." Psyga told him.
"Don't worry I know." Orga told him before he drew out his Phone in Gun mode and fires on Psyga forcing him to let go of him as he stumbles back.
Orga then inserts his Phone back into his Belt and soon brought out his Stlanzer and inserted his Mission Memory into to change it into its Sword mode.
READY
Psyga rolls his neck and shoulders before he brought out his Tonfa Edge's, a pair blue bladed tonfas with black handles.
Orga and Psyga charged at each other and clashed their weapons against each other.
The Crocodile Orphnoch slashes his sword at Faiz, and he kept dodging his attacks, until Faiz punches on the Orphnoch a few times with one right punch on the Crocodile Orphnoch's face and kicks the Orphnoch away.
Faiz then drew out his Faiz Phone in Gun Mode and pressed, '1-0-3' and 'ENTER' on his Phone
SINGLE MODE
Faiz fired a single continuous beam at the Crocodile Orphnoch, but the Orphnoch dodges it by rolling on his shoulder and soon charges at Faiz and lands a slashed on his chest sending Faiz rolling on the ground.
When Faiz stopped rolling on the ground he then saw the Crocodile Orphnoch stomping his foot at him, and Faiz manage to dodge it in time by rolling backwards some more.
Faiz soon stands back up as he did he pressed '5-8-2-1' and 'Enter' and on his Phone.
AUTO VAJIN-COME CLOSER
They soon heard the sound of a motorcycle engine, and soon saw Auto Vajin driving at them, before it changes into its Battle Mode.
BATTLE MODE
Auto Vajin soon flies in the air and fires upon the Crocodile Orphnoch with its Buster Wheel. The Crocodile Orphnoch tries to avoid and deflect Auto's gun fire, before he was soon overwhelmed as he fallen on one knee.
"There's no need to fear for I the Auto Vajin is here!" Auto said before he lands next to Faiz.
"You're late, Auto and hold still." Faiz told his mecha partner before he grabs onto the Faiz Edge and pulls it out.
Faiz soon charges at the Crocodile Orphnoch who had gotten back on his feet, and Faiz soon slashed on the Orphnoch's chest forcing him to stumble back before he stops.
The Crocodile Orphnoch growls before he slashes at Faiz and he kept dodging his attacks before Faiz slashed on the Orphnoch two times and lands a stabs on his chest sending the Orphnoch flying before he crashed on the ground.
Faiz then throws his sword away and pulls out his Pointer and Mission Memory, and he soon inserted the Memory into his Pointer.
READY
Faiz then attaches his Pointer on his ankle and pressed 'Enter on his Phone.
EXCEED CHARGE
Energy travels from Faiz's Belt into his Pointer, and Faiz soon jumps in the air as the Crocodile Orphnoch got back on his feet, and soon saw Faiz in the air.
Faiz then fires an energy cone in front of the Crocodile Orphnoch, and Faiz soon kicks into the cone and appeared behind the Orphnoch before he exploded and soon turns to ash.
Orga and Psyga continues to clashed their weapons against each other, before Orga pushed back one of Psyga's Tonfas and used that opening to slashed on his chest, forcing him to stumble back.
"Excuse me." Faiz calls out which made Psyga looks and saw Faiz punching on his face, sending Psyga rolling on the ground.
"Dang it…" Psyga said as he stands back up on one knee and foot.
"Looks like the odds are against me…guess I'll make my leave now, but don't think this will be the last time you'll see me." Psyga said as he got back on both of his feet. "Because you'll be seeing me again real soon."
Psyga then throws a high tech grenade at the ground unleashing a bright out that blinded everyone as they covered their eyes. When the light died down everyone looks and saw Psyga is now gone.
"Great job, you two." Hikaru said as he walks to Faiz and Orga "You've done well."
"Thanks professor, but we should leave now." Faiz said as he looks at the remains of the Crocodile Orphnoch. "If what you said about Mr. J is true, then we need to leave before he revives."
"Agreed," Hikaru nodded in agreement before he turns to the others. "Come on, some of you take Zorome back to the RV!"
They nodded before two of them picks up and carries Zorome back to the RV, and Faiz leaves the area on his bike, while the others leave inside the RV as they leave together.
(Later)
After the battle and arriving in a safe location, Hikaru treated Zorome's injuries. After he was done he told everyone that Zorome is alright and that his injuries weren't that serious.
Kazuto, his friends, Hikaru and his group were now on the bridge, as Hikaru and his group are going to leave soon.
"Are you really leaving professor?" Kazuto asked.
"I'm sorry Kazuto-kun, but I still need to hunt down the King, before he awakens, because as long as he's still out there, he'll become a danger to the world." Hikaru told him. "But I'll let you know once I find him."
"I…I understand." Kazuto said in understanding.
"But before I go, it's probably best that I give you this." Hikaru said before he hands Kazuto the brief case of the Kaixa Gear.
"The Kaixa Gear? But are you sure?" Kazuto asked.
"I am," Hikaru nodded before Kazuto grabs onto the brief case. "Right now, I believe the Kaixa Gear will be safer in your hands than in mine. And I have no doubt that you'll one day find a worthy user of it."
"I agree as well." Akeno told him.
"Thank you, I promise you I won't let you down." Kazuto said.
"Oh and Kazuto-kun there's one more thing I should let you know." Hikaru said. "Inside the Kaixa Gear and no doubt in your Gear as well is a lock data file."
"Really for what?" Kazuto asked.
"I'm not sure myself I tried to unlock that file but I had no success. But if I have to make a guess I say your father must have uploaded that file, and the key for it must be all three Gears if their brought together." Hikaru explains.
"I had no idea…" Kazuto said before he looks at the Kaixa Gear's brief case.
"But anyway I should leave before Smart Brain finds us here. And Kazuto-kun, be careful." Hikaru told him.
"I will, and you be careful as well, professor." Kazuto nodded before he hugs Hikaru and he soon returns the hug.
Hikaru and his group got inside the RV and they soon leave as Hikaru drives onto the bridge.
Kazuto and his friends watch them leave, while Reina and Ruru were waving them goodbye and hopes that they'll see them again.
To Be Continued…Goodbye, Kazuto
