Rosario+W
Chapter 10
Ok, I'm sorry if I seem to be focusing less on Tsukune than I should be. Though, the truth is that Tsukune isn't going to be that important to the story till the Gorgon incident.
Anyways, you can thank Rosario to Kiva for inspiration and motivation to continue writing this fanfic.
Disclaimer: I own nothing.
Last time on Rosario+W: The members of the Newspaper Club are introduced to a fellow student that has the ability to manipulate ice and seems to have a chilling past as well. While Alex feels he can trust the girl, the rest of the club is hesitant, and upon finding out that several students were found frozen solid in the night, the club sees Mizore as the prime suspect. As tensions between W's half and the rest of the club begin to peak, a new player enters, a teacher that brings to light a story about Mizore freezing one of her instructors in ice. The truth of this icy crime will be brought to light and justice will be served.
Now, count up your sins. It's time to ride.
Alex and Mizore were sitting by the bank of the lake after Mizore had finished recounting her past to the Kamen Rider. The two of them were silent aside from the occasional stone that Alex would pick up and skip across the surface of the water. After a minute or two, Mizore decided to speak up.
"…I'll understand if you don't want to be around me anymore," said Mizore softly.
"Why would I want that?" asked Alex, "We're friends, and what happened was not your fault. I'll stand by your side and I'll bring out the truth with my own two hands if need be."
Mizore's eyes widened before she hugged the teen with tears in her eyes.
"Thank you," she said.
Alex blushed bright red, his face matching the color of the Heat Memory, before she let go. Shaking his head to get his blush under control, he pulled his Bat Camera out and inserted the Bat Memory, transforming the camera into its animal mode.
"This will shadow you and make sure that that bastard of a teacher doesn't try anything," said Alex, "if he does, then it'll let me know."
"What can you do?" asked Mizore, "You're just a student and he's…"
"Just another monster," said Alex, "and not the first I've dealt with. I'll be fine."
"I'll hold you to that," said Mizore as the teen walked off.

Alex quickly headed back to his dorm room and picked up the tools he had been using earlier, "Now, I'd better finish this prototype soon. I've got a feeling I'm gonna be needing to give it a test run earlier than expected."
Pulling on safety glasses, he began to work on connecting two cables in the device he was tinkering on, causing some sparks to fly.

Late that afternoon, Mizore was walking through the forest when she was stopped by a familiar voice, a voice that sent a chill down the spine of the young Yuki Onna.
"Out on your own are we, Shirayuki?" smirked a figure from behind her.
"Kotsubo-sensei," said Mizore as she turned around and saw the PE teacher standing there with a grin on his face.
"You should really be careful," he said, "rumor is that there's a monster roaming around the school freezing students in ice, and all the students frozen have gotten 'love letters' from a mysterious girl that wanted a rendezvous."
"I don't know what you're talking about," said Mizore as she took a step back.
"Don't you?" smirked the teacher as he stepped closer, "I mean, after that little altercation in the beginning of the semester, I'm sure you know all about freezing people in blocks of ice."
"You tried to rape me!" yelled Mizore.
"And it's your own fault for leading me on like that," smirked the teacher as he revealed his true colors, "but now, I've been given a way to deliver a sort of, poetic justice on you."
He reached into his pocket and pulled out a white Gaia Memory.
"This little gadget here has given me the power to do that," he chuckled, "and all I had to do in exchange was help distribute more among promising students."
"Now," he said as he held up the Memory and revealed a Live Connector on his shoulder, "how are we going to do this, Shirayuki? Easy, or hard?"
Suddenly, a mechanical bat along with a mechanical stag beetle flew out of the trees and attacked the PE instructor, forcing him to shield his face and leaving him open for a flying kick courtesy of Alex as he jumped out after the Memory Gadgets.
"Sorry I'm late," said Alex, "I needed to grab that thing I was working on."
Alex reached into his back and strapped a device to his belt that resembled the Double Driver, except it only had one memory slot.
"Just a prototype, and it only has a limited power supply," said Alex, "but it should get the job done just fine."
"I suggest you leave Drake," said Kotsubo, "that girl's nothing but trouble."
"I don't know about that," said Alex, "I've found her to be pleasant company, and considering what I just heard and recorded, it seems you're the one that is at fault in ALL the incidents."
"Fine," growled Kotsubo, "if that's how it will be, then let's see your evidence hold up when they find your frozen remains!"
The man pressed the button on his Gaia Memory and inserted it into the Live Connector.
[Ice Age!]
The muscular man transformed into a humanoid creature with a blue and white color scheme that released a blast of cold air that froze the trees around them.
"So that's how you did it," mused Alex, "well, it's my turn."
Pulling out his Joker memory he pressed the button on it and smirked.
[Joker!]
"Now," said Alex before inserting the Memory into the Driver, "Henshin."
[Joker!]
Upon angling the memory slot, his armor materialized on his body, resembling that of W, except that both halves were colored black.
"Start the clock," said Alex before he rushed at the Dopant, narrowly dodging an icy blast in order to land a punch on the monster.
"Damn you," growled the Dopant.
"Not so easy when they fight back, is it?" smirked Alex before he jumped and delivered a powerful kick to the side of the Dopant's head.
Kotsubo pushed Alex back with a punch-kick combo, but the Black Kamen Rider retaliated with some attacks of his own and landed several attacks, one being aimed at the side of the Dopant's knee, dislocating the joint and forcing the man to his knees.
"Die!" yelled Kotsubo as he blasted Alex with a freezing wave that trapped his lower body in thick ice.
The Dopant pulled himself to his feet and was about to attack again, when the ice shattered allowing Alex to punch him in the face.
"Thanks Mizore," said Alex as he delivered a three-kick combo to the Ice Age Dopant.
"Stupid girl," growled the Dopant before Alex caught him in the throat with a strike that sent him staggering back coughing.
"You're not used to fighting like this, are you?" smirked the Kamen Rider as he slammed a kick to the Dopant's face that knocked it on its back, "I'm sure you'd rather monster up and deal with me, but unfortunately, I happen to be a black belt and am quite versed in hand to hand combat."
The Dopant tried to attack with another freezing blast, but Alex caught the arm in a lock and dislocated the joint at the elbow with a quick blow to the joint before slamming his elbow into the side of the monster's head.
"It's about that time," said Alex as he removed the Joker Memory from the Driver and slotted it into the Maximum Slot on his hip.
[Joker Maximum Drive!]
"Atom Driver!" yelled Alex as his right fist was covered in black energy and he slammed that fist into the Dopant's chest, sending him flying backwards before he was engulfed in an explosion as his Memory was ejected and shattered.
Alex took several breaths of air as the Driver on his waist sparked and sputtered before falling to the ground, dispelling his armored form.
"Times up," he stated.
"You think it's that easy?!" roared Kotsubo as he rose up in his Monster form, now possessing many tentacles and an amphibious appearance, "I'll teach you to trifle with a Kraken."
"Well this isn't good," said Alex as he glanced at the Monster, "let's hope Daniel is ready."
Alex pulled out the Double Driver and attached it to his waist before retrieving the Joker Memory and pulling out his Metal Memory
"Ready, partner? Henshin!"
[Metal!]
xXsceneXx
Daniel sighed as the Driver materialized on his waist, "Lucky for you I had Beetle keeping an eye out. Henshin."
He pulled out the Luna Memory and pressed the button on it.
[Luna!]
Daniel slotted the memory into the driver and watched as it vanished into data before turning to the others.
"Get our evidence to the teachers," he said, "and watch over my body again, Kurumu."
"Right," said Tsukune as he and Moka ran off with a recording of Kotsubo and Mizore's incriminating conversation.
xXsceneXx
Alex watched as the Memory appeared in the slot on his Driver, allowing him to press it into the slot before inserting the Metal Memory and angling the slots to activate the Driver.
[Luna Metal!]
A silver and yellow version of the Kamen Rider armor appeared in a swirl of energy, releasing a burst of energy that shattered the ice on the trees and caused Mizore to take a step back.
'His power…' she thought, 'it's warm.'
"Now," said Alex as he pointed the Metal Shaft at the teacher, "count up your sins."
"Don't screw with me!" yelled Kotsubo as he sent his tentacles at the Kamen Rider.
W only smirked and swung his staff, surprising everyone when the metal rod bent and stretched as if it was made of some sort of silly putty, transforming the weapon into a sort of whip that slammed into the Kraken's tentacles and deflected them.
"I'm afraid you'll find us a challenging adversary," said Daniel from his half of W.
"And you'll pay for your crimes," said Alex.
"How?" laughed Kotsubo, "There are no witnesses, so if I deal with you all here, nobody will ever know!"
"Actually," said Daniel, "our friends should be delivering a recording of your fight with Alex any time now. You see, I my suspicions and was keeping an eye on you."
"Damn you!" yelled Kotsubo as he began to charge them.
Unfortunately for him the two-in-one Rider was able to keep him at bay using the current whip-like nature of the Metal Shaft, and he ended up smacked back to the ground.
"Time to end this," said Alex as he knocked the teacher back with another swing and removed the Metal Memory from the Driver before placing it in the Maximum Slot in the Metal Shaft.
[Metal Maximum Drive!]
"Mercury Spectre!" yelled Alex as W swung the Metal Shaft around his body, causing the staff to emit energy as it whipped around his body. The energy formed into rings that floated in the air before they all shot forward and slammed into Kotsubo with an explosion that knocked him to the ground.
"Did that do it?" asked Daniel.
"I think so," said Alex.
"I think that's enough here," said a man wearing priest robes as he walked up.
"Who are you?" asked Daniel as W raised his staff.
"I am Tenmei Mikogami," said the man, "the headmaster of Yokai Academy. Your friends told me what was going on and I will be taking over punishment here."
The man waved his hand and a gale blew through the forest, and when it passed, both men were gone, leaving the Kamen Rider and Mizore standing there confused.
xXsceneXx
After that incident, the Club printed a paper that publically exposed Kotsubo's crimes and cleared Mizore of any suspicion. Daily life returned to normal after that…with one change. Mizore joined the club after the incident and she stuck close to Alex, proving to be quite good at getting photographs with her stealthy nature.
Life was definitely getting weird at Yokai Academy.
