In the alley behind Carter's school, Carter and Veral were looking around the alley for something. Carter currently wore a blue t shirt, black basketball shorts, and blue sneakers. Veral currently wore a red shirt, black skirt, and black sneakers.
Carter groaned and said," Nothing. I was sure we'd be able to find something about that guy. "
Veral turned to Carter then said," Well, think about it. You said that this mysterious man always appears from nowhere and he can talk to us riders through our heads right? Maybe he will only talk to us when he wants to and doesn't want us to find him until all of the riders are revealed. "
Carter sighed then said," I'm hoping that isn't the case. I mean I have to know why all of this is happening so that I can stop it. "
Veral smiled warmly then walked over to Carter and said," The world needs more people like you, Carter. You have such a big heart. " Carter looked at Veral and smiled.
In the city, Bree and Vega were walking together being quiet towards one another. Vega wore a white t shirt, blue jeans, black boots and a black jacket with a fur collar. Bree wore a white muscle shirt, black shorts, black sneakers and a black baseball hat that was backwards.
Bree periodically looked at Vega then thought," What is it about him? How can he cause me to feel these things? "
Vega looked at Bree and thought," How can she make me feel? How does she make me feel at peace? "
Vega and Bree looked at each other then Vega said," So, why did you patch me up after that whole thing at the hospital? "
" Well, I can't have you dying on me. Then who would I have to be the leader of our twosome? ",Bree said in a obviously fake enthusiasm. Vega chuckled then said," You would probably survive without me. The only difference would be you wouldn't have my muscle. "
Vega and Bree laughed together then stared into each other's eyes as they stopped walking. Vega smirked and nervously said," You look, uh, beautiful today. "
" Thanks. You're handsome currently. ",Bree nervously said. Vega nodded and said," Thanks. "
" Oh isn't this just precious. ",Pride said as he, Envy, and Fear appeared behind Bree and Vega. Bree spun around and got ready to fight while Vega retained his somewhat calm demeanor.
" The red rider and his servant have fallen in love with one another. I am gonna be sickened. ",Pride said.
" Did he just call me a servant? ",Bree said in a frustrated tone. Vega put his hand on Bree's shoulder then said," What do you want? "
" Still as rude as ever Vega. ",Pride said before he turned to Envy and said," You used to have a crush on him? "
" Yes but now I want him dead. ",Envy said while summoning her whip.
Vega sighed then said," Bree, you get the blue guy. I'll handle the egotist and the girl. "
Bree looked at Vega with worried eyes and asked," You sure you wanna do that? I mean you did just have a big injury on your side. " Vega looked at Bree and said," I'll be fine. "
Vega and Bree then stood side by side and said," Transform. " changing them into Kamen riders Rage and Hate. Rage summoned his claws then charged at Pride and Envy while Hate charged at Fear.
Rage slashed at Envy and Pride, hitting Envy in the chest. He then kicked Pride in the stomach before slashing Envy twice. Pride shot Rage in the back then Envy cracked her whip on Rage's chest.
Hate dodged a few punches from Fear then she kicked him three times before elbowing him in the face. Hate summoned her daggers before slashing Fear three times then she kicked him back. Fear stumbled back then said," Ow, I probably shouldn't have skipped those self defense classes in school. "
" Wow you sound like a wimp. ",Hate said before she kicked Fear in the face. Fear tumbled on the ground then he held his hand out and a indigo pistol appeared in his hand. He shot at Hate, who narrowly dodged the energy blast.
Back with Veral and Carter, they were inside of a diner eating together and Carter said," So how are you a nurse in highschool? "
" It's apart of the dual credit courses I am taking. I already have all my credits for high school so in the afternoon I work at a hospital to get college hours. ",Veral explained. Carter nodded then said," If only I could do that for football. "
" Ha ha, football can't be the only thing you've taken an interest in. ",Veral said. Carter chuckled then said," You'd be right. I've always wanted to be a mechanic. "
" Really? ",Veral asked.
" Yeah, My Dad has this old motorcycle in our garage and I have always wanted to fix it up and take it for a ride. I then began to realize my passion for cars. ",Carter said.
Suddenly, Rage crashed through the diner window and onto the floor. He groaned as he got up then he said," I seriously hate this egotistical jackass! " before he jumped out the window and slashed Pride in the chest.
Carter and Veral looked outside and saw the fights then Carter said," Just when I thought it was gonna be a chill day. "
Outside the diner, Rage was cracked across his chest by Envy's whip then he was shot three times by Pride and he stumbled back. Rage breathed heavily then said," That all you got? "
" No actually. Masumi, be a dear and give him a splash of water. ",Pride said smugly. Envy fired a torrent of water at Rage from her hand. Rage growled then charged at Pride and Envy with his claws readied. Pride put his hand into the air and said," Now to smite the. " as a gold lightning bolt came from the sky and hit Rage. Rage let out a pain filled scream as he was electrocuted then he was shot in the stomach and crashed into a car, making the car cave in on itself. Pride chuckled then had gold electricity cover his hand and he was about to fire it at Rage but he was slashed in the shoulder, as Hate jumped over him. Hate kicked Envy in the face then landed in front of Rage and said," Don't you touch him. "
Pride looked behind him to see Fear stumbled towards him and say," She is very good at fighting. " Pride sighed then said," It's like I can't get a break and get one subject that is perfect. "
Rage emerged from the destroyed car and he fell to one knee and looked at Pride before saying," You just enjoy pissing me off. "
" Um, I do actually. ",Pride said before he snapped his fingers. Fear and Envy readied their weapons and Pride aimed his crossbow at Rage while saying," Any last words? "
Hate charged at Pride and his comrades and slashed at them all. Hate dodged several attacks from Envy then she kicked the green rider in the chin. Hate was shot in the back by Fear and she turned to him before stopping and saying," What the? "
Hate began shaking then said," No, no. Not a giant spider? " Hate was seeing Fear as a huge black widow spider.
Pride tiled his head in confusion then said," She's afraid of spiders and she is seeing her fear? I see an opportunity. " before he fired a gold lighting bolt into Hate's back, stunning her. Envy then punched Hate back towards Rage.
Tranquil and Love appeared behind the group and Tranquil said," Nicoli stop! "
" Oh great, the moral compass has appeared. Look Carter, I get that you and your woman are for no lives lost thing but admit it, you hate Vega just as much as I do. ",Pride said while turning to Tranquil.
" I hate Vega's actions and I dislike him but that doesn't mean I want him dead. ",Tranquil said as he and Love revealed their weapons. Pride sighed then said," It's like the two children are the only loyal subjects I have. "
Hate got to her feet and said," Quit calling me your subject, you egotistical ass! " as she threw one of her daggers at him. Envy caught the dagger with her whip the threw it back while saying," Have this back tramp! "
The dagger slashed Hate in the arm then was hit by a gold lightning bolt. Hate screamed in pain then changed back into Bree, who fell to the ground. Rage immediately caught Bree while saying," Bree! "
Tranquil and Love attacked Pride, Fear, and Envy.
Rage looked at Bree and said," Bree, you're hurt. " in a concerned tone. Bree smiled at Vega and said," It's nothing Vega. Just a flesh wound. " before she winced in pain as blood began to trickle down her arm. Rage began to growl in anger and his armor slowly began to crack before his helmets eyes glowed and he let out a rage filled roar that quickly began to sound like the roar of both a lion and himself. The cracks on his armor erupted with blood red and magenta flames escaped from them and his helmet's mouth opened as Rage roared.
In a Ford Escape, a Caucasian man that was bald with a black beard was sitting in the car and looked out his windshield to see an eruption of fire coming from down the street. This man wore a green army jacket, black muscle shirt, cargo pants and black boots. He started up the car and drove towards the fire.
Back to the riders.
Tranquil, Love, Pride, Envy, and Fear had stopped fighting and did their best to keep their footing as flames passed by them and pushed them back. Tranquil stumbled back and used his shield to protect himself then he jumped behind a car along with Love. Love looked at Tranquil and asked," What's happening? "
" I don't know. I think Vega just lost it. ",Tranquil said as he and Loved got closer to avoid the waves of flames.
The flames died down then The other riders looked at Rage and Tranquil said," Whoa. " in amazement at what he saw.
Rage was now having the blood red and magenta flames coat most of his body with pieces of his red armor on his chest, arms, and legs giving off a volcanic rock look ( think of heatblast from the first Ben 10 series in order to get a picture of how his body looks. ) Rage's head had the blood red and magenta flames covering it but his helmet, that had the top and jaw parts disconnected, could still be seen and the back of the flames went up resembling spiked long hair or a mane. Rage's hands had his claws being visible through the flames and they were sharper that before. Rage had also grown in size and muscle mass making hunch over slightly as well as a more animal like stance.
Bree looked at Rage and said," Vega? Is that you? "
" N-no one. Hurts. BREE! ",Rage struggled to say before he let out a beastly roar and charged at Pride and his two comrades. Envy cracked her whip at Rage, but he evaded it then punched her in the stomach. Rage then punched Envy so hard, she crashed through three cars before tumbling on the street. Rage roared and torrent of flames went towards Fear, who tried to outrun the but was engulfed by it. Fear crashed into a dumpster and he had smoke coming off of him. Pride became fearful and stepped back while saying," What in the hell are you? "
Rage turned his head to Pride and growled before getting on all fours and circling the gold rider. Pride shook off his fear then said," I am king and kings aren't afraid of mindless beast. "
Pride made gold lighting cover his body before he fired it at Rage. Rage was hit by lightning and let out a roar of anger before leaping towards Pride. Pride dodged the beastly Rage but was grabbed by his waist and slammed into the street. Rage roared once more then proceeded to beat Pride into the ground until the gold rider was in a crater. Rage roared then looked at Tranquil and Love while growling and gritting his teeth.
Tranquil readied his sword and shield while Love readied her bow and Tranquil said," Great he has his sights on us now. Guess he is still thinking about these rider games."
" I don't think he is thinking at all. ",Love said.
Rage snarled at Tranquil and Love before he turned to Bree, who was walked to his side. Bree looked up at Rage and touched his flame covered arm and said," That's enough Vega. These guys don't need to be beaten up, for now at least. "
Rage looked at the girl then fell to his knees and the flames turned into smoke, revealing Vega in tattered clothes. Bree knelt down to Vega's side and put his arm around her shoulders before turning on her heel and walking away from Tranquil and Love.
Tranquil and Love lowered their weapons and Tranquil asked," What was that? "
" That was uncontrollable anger. ",Tranquil and Love heard from behind them. The two turned around and saw the man from the car standing behind them. Tranquil changed back into Carter and asked," Who are you and how do you know that? "
" My name is Elijah Alexanderson and I am the rider of courage. I know this because I was told by a mysterious man. ",The man, known as Elijah, said in a deep voice. Elijah lifted the sleeve of his jacket up to reveal a orange bull tattoo on his fairly large bicep. Veral and Carter looked at Elijah with amazement.
That evening at Bree and Vega's house, Bree now had a bandage wrapped around her arm and she sat beside Vega, who had gauzes wrapped around his abdomen, right forearm, and forehead, on their couch. Bree looked at Vega and asked," So can you explain what that was? "
" No, not really. All I know is that when I saw you bleeding I just lost it. ",Vega said in a tired tone. Bree blushed and pushed some hair behind her ear then said," I didn't know you cared. "
Vega looked at Bree and said," It's a new feeling for me to be honest. You're the first person I can say that I don't want to see hurt ever since...my family. Hell, you're also the first person that I can't seem to get angry at. "
Bree smiled then she said," I am also adjusting to having feelings again. I mean you're the first person i've had no hatred for since my dad. You're also the first person that I feel at peace around. " as she neared Vega. Bree put her hand over Vega's and he intertwined their fingers making Bree smile. Vega smiled then said," Guess that we just confessed our feelings for one another after only being around each other for a few weeks at best. "
Bree chuckled then said," Yeah, it is pretty weird. " Bree then leaned towards Vega and he captured her lips in a loving kiss. The two kissed for a few seconds then pulled away from each other with Bree saying," I've wanted to do that ever since I met you. "
" Same. ",Vega said. Bree kissed Vega once more and it turned into a slow and passionate make out session between the two. Bree eventually straddled Vega and he put his hands on her waist.
