THE LEGACY OF CAIN

Part 9: Sutherland Strikes Back

"I can't stand that girl, Nii-sama," Leviathan sighed. Yuji had been watching TV and was bored out of his ass when Leviathan came over to visit.

"Come, have a seat," Yuji invited as he pat his lap.

Leviathan accepted the invitation and floated onto Yuji's lap before she began, "I went to visit Dai and I saw him serenading that girl."

"Guess she's into musicians..." Yuji mused.

"He's mine!" Levi cried.

He sighed as he stroke her back comfortingly as he said, "I know, Levi, I know. I doubt he's forgotten about you and is probably just catching up with her. From what i understand, they haven't seen each other for quite a while. I know it's not in you, but have patience, dear baby sister."

Leviathan sighed, "I'm not that virtuous. I'm the Stake of Envy so I'm jealous." Leviathan looks at the ring-like com-link she has on her finger.

"Gift from Dai?"

"Christmas gift," she nodded.

Yuji grinned, "Didn't know he proposed to you already."

Leviathan blushed, "It wasn't a proposal! It's just so we can keep in contact!"

"Has he called you recently?"

"Actually...It's off. I didn't feel like talking to him."

Yuji nodded, "Ah, I see. Listen, Levi, I know you're obviously jealous so maybe you should work out some sort of compromise. The least you should do is tell that girl that you two are dating. Be honest and express your feelings. Just make sure you don't insult anyone. Be as polite as possible. Can you do that for me?"

Leviathan gave a thoughtful look, "I could...maybe try..."

Yuji ruffled her hair and kissed her cheek, "That's my girl. Now run along and do your best."

Leviathan nodded and then disappeared in a flash of golden butterflies to make things clear.

Yuji then talked to himself, "May the Crimson Dragon bless you, Leviathan."


February 14th 1988

It was Valentine's Day and Shinichi was going to pay Princess Shawna a visit in Genovia. It may have been his birthday, but he didn't think it would be too big of a deal for him to spend the day with Shawna. You see, Rena and Shawna had a system arranged. Since they were both Shinichi's lovers and lived on opposite sides of the world, Shinichi would visit Shawna on the weekends and spend time with her. Shawna always waited for Shinichi's visits and he always called. Shawna, like her father, had both been given communicators in case they needed to call the NEO-NUMBERS. King Edward's communicator was in the form of a wrist watch while Shawna was given a pair of earrings that acted as transceivers. With the Hive Satellite in orbit, the two royals would always be connected with their friends and allies on the other side of the globe.

The last few days had been quite humorous. Mika had shown up to come and live with Daichi. This did not go so well with Leviathan who was the Stake of Envy and so the two girls fought over Daichi and his attention. It was obvious they were in love with him. Daichi had found Mika in his bed several times already and even Leviathan had made several unscheduled surprise visits. Everyone was betting on how long Daichi could endure this before he snapped.

The Showa Guardian Jet was flying towards the kingdom before it began to descend. Shinichi had discovered that his new Guardian Jet Mode had become a permanent part of his arsenal. It would appear that Kaitoh had compensated him for trying to steal the Spark Cores by providing him with a new transformation. The only limitation was that Shinichi had to be in his Hinamizawa Guardian Form to assume his Jet Mode.

As the Guardian Jet lowered to the ground, it glowed and then turned back into Shinichi. He could see the kingdom and smiled as he decided to enter in style. He put on a helmet and then concentrated his nanites into his legs. White circuitry lines appeared on his lower legs before metal formed and expanded, morphing before taking the shape of a sleek, futuristic hover bike. It was mainly colored black and had no wheels, instead it hovered a foot off the ground. It had gold headlights and was armed for combat as well as armored. To Shinichi, it was a really sweet ride.

Shinichi then said, "Maybe I should lay off the hover bike." The bike morphed again, this time taking on the traditional form of a motorcycle, with actual wheels, but still maintaining its armored look. "OK, off to the palace!"

The wheels of his vehicle rolled along the ground as he headed towards the Genovian Palace. The kingdom was still peaceful, with the citizens living fulfilled lives. Yes, they needed to work for a living but King Edward was a king and fair ruler who cared for his people. He was the ideal leader, and not a dictator like the Great Leader of GIN-SHOCKER.

People recognized him, of course. He was one of the kingdom's knights and thus a noble. Shinichi didn't really care for the title but it did have its perks nonetheless. Still, he wouldn't abuse the title he'd earned from King Edward.

He reached the gate of the palace. The guards, knowing who he was, allowed the young Rider entry into the palace grounds without argument. He found a spot that was specially prepared for him and his ride and took off his helmet. He'd actually brought along flowers and a heart-shaped box of chocolates that were in his backpack. Once he was out of sight, he deactivated the bike and it was absorbed into his body through his legs. It was a very convenient trick.

He walked up the steps to the palace entrance and the guards opened the door to him as his presence was announced. Shawna was already waiting for him, smiling, with Chris and Anthony at her side as her loyal bodyguards.

"Happy Valentine's Day, Princess," Shinichi greeted, smiling as he presented her his gifts, kneeling down before her.

Shawna took the gifts and smiled. It was a really sweet of him to come and visit her, on Valentine's Day no less. "Thank you, Sir Shinichi," she said as she accepted and as he rose up she hugged him. Anthony's left eye seemed to twitch under his shades.

"May I take these back to your room, Your Highness?" offered Chris.

"Yes, you may," said Shawna. "Sir Shinichi and I will be in the garden." She asked Shinichi, "Will you be staying for dinner, Sir Shinichi?"

"It is our day together, isn't it?" Shinichi replied. "Of course I will, Shawna-chan."

Shawna beamed. She always enjoyed his visits and the magical Teleportal made it a short and easy commute for him to come. She just had to call and thanks to the earrings he'd given her.


Shinichi and Shawna were having tea and discussing recent happenings. However, Shawna was more interested in listening to more of Shinichi's latest exploits.

"Oh my!" she gasped. "So a thief tried to steal the Spark Cores?"

"Yes, he did," Shinichi confirmed, "And then the Spark Cores woke up and materialized a giant Rider. We had to give it everything we got but then after we destroyed the giant the Spark Cores all flew off and are now scattered all over the world."

"These Spark Cores are important, aren't they?" Shawna asked.

"You can say the only thing keeping me and the others alive are these Spark Cores," said Shinichi, "And I mean the ones in our bodies. Those Spark Cores are volatile, unstable, and we have no idea where they are until they go active. Dr. Magi is trying to pinpoint their exact locations but so far there hasn't been anything, not even clues."

"I am sure you will find them," said Shawna.

"Do you mind helping out?" asked Shinichi. "I mean a Spark Core could've landed in your kingdom. I just thought that maybe you could help look for it, by sending soldiers and then when you do find it you'll call us."

"Sir Shinichi, after all you've done for my kingdom and for me, I think it is only fair that I return the favor," said Shawna.

"Thanks, Shawna-chan," smiled Shinichi, the smile that made Shawna blush in response. "So, what's new with you?" Shawna sighed. "What's wrong?"

"Oh, I've just been receiving gifts from a very insistent suitor," Shawna replied.

"Well, I guess that makes sense," said Shinichi. "You are a princess, and a beautiful one at that." Again that was an honest compliment. "You'd probably have to beat them off with a stick," he joked. 'Or Chris and Anthony can beat them for you.'

"Yes, I know, but I have written messages back to him many times, informing him a thousand times over that I am not interested." Her gaze met Shinichi's, "Because I am in love."

Shinichi blushed as he rubbed the back of his head. "I feel really honored, Shawna-chan."

"Sir Shinichi, there is no man in this world who I will love like I love you," she continued. "You treat me right, even in bed." She blushed so red and was putting her hands to her cheeks.

Shinichi remembered. He remembered that wild and crazy night where he, Rena, Shawna and Satan had used the bed for more than sleeping. It had been a really good night.

"So, will you make me a real woman tonight?" she asked, putting her hand on his.

"Shawna-chan…" he uttered, surprised by the request. Well, Shawna was still physically a virgin. Shinichi didn't actually pop her cherry. She had passed out from an orgasm caused by his very talented fingers.

Shawna was wiggling in her seat as she recalled the sensation and the slow build up of pleasure which had exploded and took her completely off guard. She wanted to feel it again. "Please…?" she was almost pleading him.

Shinichi took a sip of his tea and said, "I…I dunno, Shawna-chan. You're a princess. You're supposed to be pure and virginal until your wedding night."

"THEN WE WILL HAVE A CEREMONY IMMEDIATELY!" King Edward's voice boomed, startling the two. Shawna shrieked and leapt into Shinichi's lap and arms. King Edward rose from his hiding spot, which was the rose bushes, and smiled wide at Shinichi and Shawna as he added, "And you have just swept my beloved daughter yet again, my boy!"

King Edward liked Shinichi. In fact, he liked Shinichi so much that he wanted him to become his daughter's husband. Shinichi just thought it was too early to think about marriage. They were just in their twenties after all. Well, Shawna would be twenty on her next birthday. Shinichi was already twenty since it was his birthday.

"Father!"

"Your Majesty!"

King Edward laughed at the two.

"How long have you been hiding in there?" Shinichi asked suspiciously.

"Oh, since the beginning," he answered. Shawna blushed. So he must've heard. "And I am impressed. You managed to give my daughter the ultimate pleasure without deflowering her!"

"Father, please!" Shawna exclaimed. 'This is so embarrassing…' Shinichi, if he could hear her thoughts, would've agreed.

Shinichi wasn't surprised. Even if Edward was the King of Genovia he was still a father and fathers had a habit of embarrassing their daughters. King Edward and Shiori got along pretty well in fact.

Shinichi then decided to change the subject, even with Shawna still sitting in his lap. He put one arm around her, which was meant to soothe and comfort the embarrassed princess. "Your Majesty, Shawna told me she's been receiving gifts and messages from a Lord Sutherland."

"Yes," King Edward frowned, taking a serious tone as he took Shawna's empty chair and sat down. "We didn't think it was a problem, but then they came quite frequently and my daughter was not comfortable about these extravagant gifts. However, sending them back would still be rude and look bad on our family." Shinichi knew how honor was a strong royal ideal. "I did send messages requesting him to stop but either he has not received them or he has simply ignored them."

"I'm betting the latter," said Shinichi. He hated guys who didn't understand when a girl really wasn't interested in them and couldn't give up. Sure, a guy needed to be persistent to woo a fair maiden's heart, but only if the maiden wanted to be wooed. Shawna had already found her ideal partner in Shinichi. "You did tell him that Shawna-chan here is in love with me, right?"

"Yes, I have, but he didn't think it would matter," grumbled King Edward. "I even told him it was you."

"And what did he say?" Shinichi asked.

"I received a letter of how displeased he was that my daughter would pick a 'commoner' over him," King Edward replied.

"So, he was pissed."

"In a matter of speaking, yes."

"He doesn't know about my knighting, does he?"

"I didn't tell him."

Shinichi shrugged, "Knight or not, Shawna-chan chose me." He looked at Shawna's face and then rubbed his nose affectionately against her. "And I won't let her go."

"Oh, Mr. Samurai…" she uttered blissfully. Shinichi rolled his eyes.

'Back to that, I see…' he thought. Still, it was an affectionate nickname she'd coined for him. It was like only his mom called him by his birth name.

"You will stay for dinner, won't you?" asked King Edward, "And spend the night?"

"It wouldn't hurt," shrugged Shinichi. Shawna then began to shiver. "Shawna-chan, are you feeling chilly?"

Then a thick fog rolled into the garden, quite suddenly in fact that it didn't seem natural to Shinichi. "I think we should head back inside the palace," said King Edward as the fog began to thicken. "My word, I can barely see anything in front of me and-AH!"

Shinichi heard a dull thud and realized that King Edward had been assaulted in the fog and he got up with Shawna. "Your Majesty!" Shinichi cried out.

"Father!" Shawna shouted but then felt a hand cover her mouth and drag her away. Shinichi realized the absence of her presence and then the fog slowly went away, leaving Shinichi and the injured King of Genovia. Shinichi helped the man up. He'd taken a knock to the head and knocked down.

"Are you hurt, Your Majesty?" asked Shinichi.

"Yes, I am," confirmed King Edward, groaning as he put a hand to his head. "That hurt indeed. I felt as if someone had hit me with a club." Shinichi didn't see any blood so it was just a bruise. However, things were indeed serious. "Where's Shawna?"

"I think someone created that fog as a cover to kidnap her," Shinichi theorized.

"Someone kidnapped my daughter!?" shouted King Edward. He called loudly, "Guards! Guards!" King Edward was hysterical. His daughter just got taken right under his nose.

"Your Majesty, let me find her," said Shinichi, placating the hysterical king. He activated his wrist communicator's tracker. "She's wearing those earrings I gave her so that means I can track her." It was partly his fault Shawna got kidnapped under his watch. He'd let his guard down.

"Very well, Sir Shinichi," said King Edward formerly, "I order you to find and rescue my daughter."

"At once," Shinichi said as he bowed down before the King of Genovia.


Shawna was tied up and gagged, sitting in a wooden boat that was on the beach. Standing next to the boat was a young man, who was handsome, blonde, and dressed in an immaculate white suit. He radiated with arrogance and superiority, as well as disgust and disdain for 'lowly commoners' as he called them. In the middle of his forehead was a band-aid which covered an injury. This was Lord Sutherland and he'd kidnapped Princess Shawna.

"All tied up like a nice little package," smiled Sutherland. "You have ignored my affections long enough, Your Higness. If you will not become mine willingly, then you will be mine by force, and your father will have no choice but to give me his kingdom in exchange for your safety. In the end I get you and the kingdom! I'll be ruler of Genovia with you as my Queen!" He started to laugh. Shawna wanted to curse at him but the gag muffled her voice. "Oh dear, you sound angry. That will not do. Don't worry though. Some attitude adjustment is just what you need and I will make sure you forget that commoner you are so infatuated with." Sutherland never forgot about how Shinichi had humiliated him on Shawna's birth day, two years prior. He'd presented Shawna with a dress that was covered in diamonds while the 'commoner' had given her a TOY! And not only did Princess Shawna accept such a cheap present, she'd smiled! Smiled! At a toy!

Then King Edward had demanded that Sutherland apologize to Shinichi, which had stung his pride painfully. He would not do such a thing willingly. Apologizing to a commoner was beneath him. People begged him for forgiveness, not the other way around.

"Well, he won't save you now, Princess Shawna," said Sutherland haughtily. He was about to push the boat into seat when several gunshots hit at Sutherland's feet, causing him to jump and shriek. "Who did that!?" Sutherland demanded and looked to see the 'commoner' approaching.

Shinichi was walking towards Sutherland. He had his shotgun aimed at Sutherland, the barrel smoking. He then twirled the gun in his hand and slid it back into its holster.

"So, the commoner arrives to rescue his princess," Sutherland sneered.

Shinichi stopped several feet away from Sutherland. He saw Shawna in the boat and narrowed his eyes. He demanded, "Let Princess Shawna go."

"No, I will not!" Sutherland snapped, outraged that Shinichi would dare to order him around. "I am taking the princess away with me while you can only watch me do so helplessly! You won't be able to stop me! It's the perfect revenge!"

"…"

"Speechless due to my cunning plan, commoner?" Sutherland continued. "Of course I would be just as amazed by my own genius! You should not have crossed me before! Now, you know the consequences of going against me, Lord Sutherland! No matter what, you will always be beneath me! You humiliated me before, but now you will taste the same humiliation!"

"…" Shinichi was still staring blankly at Sutherland.

Now this was starting to annoy Sutherland. "Well, aren't you going to say anything or are you just going to stand there looking at me like an idiot?"

"…Have we met?" Shinichi asked plainly. This caused Sutherland to face-fault right into the sand in shock.

Sutherland pushed himself up to his feet and just stared at Shinichi as he repeated, "Have we met? Have we met!? You humiliated me! How could you not remember!?"

"Just who are you again?" Shinichi asked. "Because I don't think we've ever met, ever."

"You humiliated me on Princess Shawna's birthday!" Sutherland shouted.

"Nope, sorry," Shinichi shook his head.

"I presented her with a diamond-covered dress!" Sutherland went on, desperately.

"Doesn't ring any bells."

"I called your toy worthless!" Sutherland attempted. And then Shinichi's eyes shone with realization. 'Finally!' thought Sutherland, relieved.

"Now I remember you! You're Shittyland!" Shinichi identified, incorrectly, causing Sutherland to face-fault again.

"Sutherland! It's Sutherland! LORD SUTHERLAND!" shouted Sutherland as he rose up to his feet again.

"Really?" Shinichi blinked as he scratched his head. "I would've remembered a name like that."

Lord Sutherland's teeth ground back and forth as he thought, 'He's doing this on purpose. That's it. He's enraging me on purpose. Calm down. You are above the tricks of a commoner. You are Lord Sutherland.'

"Well, whatever. Lord Sufferland-"

"Sutherland," Lord Sutherland corrected.

"Whatever," Shinichi said, "Now I'm going to beat you up and save the princess."

"I think not!" said Sutherland as he reached inside his pocket and pulled out an item that Shinichi recognized. He immediately had his gun out and aimed at Sutherland.

"Put that Gaia Memory down!" ordered Shinichi.

"Oh, I will," said Sutheland as he pressed the button.

"UNICORN!"

He then tossed it up and ripped the band-aid off his forehead to expose the slot as he threw his head back. The Gaia Memory then fell directly into the slot, plug first, and was absorbed into Lord Sutherland's forehead. Shinichi was nearly blown away like the sand as Sutherland's body exploded with mutagenic energy as his body began to change. What stood in Lord Sutherland's place was a humanoid unicorn, covered in shining emerald armor. His head was horse-like with a single horn that poked out from its head. His mane was wild and his feet were hoofed.

"Behold, my grand form!" boasted the Unicorn Dopant. Shawna's eyes widened as she took sight of Sutherland's new form. "I am the majestic unicorn and soon will become the immortal Unicorn King!"

Shinichi immediately aimed his shotgun at the Unicorn Dopant but just as he was about to pull the trigger a bolt of lightning fired from the Dopant's horn, knocking the shotgun out of his hands. He then unleashed a burst of wind from his right hand, blowing Shinichi off his feet and into several rocks.

Shawna cried out, "Shinichi!" but it came out muffled.

"Now watch, Princess Shawna, as I show you who the better man is for you," said the arrogant Unicorn Dopant. He then raised his hand to the sky and dark clouds rolled in. "Goodbye, commoner," said the Unicorn Dopant as he threw his arm down. A bolt of lightning struck Shinichi directly with so much force that it caused the rocks to explode. Shawna let out a muffled shriek as she watched bolt after bolt strike down on Shinichi, causing more and more explosions. The Unicorn Dopant was enjoying this as he continued his assault and then stopped. Once the smoke cleared, there was nothing left of Shinichi. "Hm…it seems my power is more formidable than I thought. There's nothing left of him to bury." He heard Shawna sobbing and saw tears flowing from her eyes. "Now, don't cry, Princess Shawna. I will help you forget about that commoner. You'll see that I'm the better man for you."

Suddenly, the Unicorn Dopant was sent flying straight into the rocks where he'd zapped Shinichi earlier. The blow he received had been sudden and caught him completely by surprise. He clutched his face in agony as it stung painfully. "My… my face! Who dares to strike my face!?" he whined. His eyes then widened at the impossible sight before him. "No…IMPOSSIBLE!"

Standing next to the boat was Shinichi. He'd somehow survived the Unicorn Dopant's devastating attack. His clothes had also changed as he sported a black bodysuit with armor on his torso and shoulders with a green chestplate. He also sported matching red gloves and boots, the former which reached up to his elbows while the latter reached up to his knees, with black straps buckled tight around his wrists and ankles.

Shinichi knelt next to a relieved Shawna and untied her gag as he said, "Sorry about that scare. Are you okay?" he asked. He then began to untie the ropes around her.

The Unicorn Dopant demanded in disbelief, "How could you survive!?"

Shinichi answered, while shrugging, "I can move very fast." He added, "Very, very fast." He'd just paused time and transformed, moving himself into position as the explosion erupted. He then snuck up to the Unicorn Dopant and waited until time started up again before surprising his enemy with a backhanded blow. He put a hand on Shawna's shoulder and addressed her, "This won't take long." His Spark Core glowed and his helmet materialized. He then put it on, securing it with the faceplate as the crimson eyes flashed. A breeze blew and his crimson muffler flapped in the wind.

"Go take cover," he advised Shawna who then ran off to find some cover.

Insert Song: Let's Go Rider Kick

Kamen Rider Showa advanced on the Unicorn Dopant, reciting, "In darkest night, in brightest day, no evil shall stand in my way…" The Unicorn Dopant attacked, firing bolts of lightning at the advancing Kamen Rider but Showa smacked the bolts away with his fists as he continued, "For those who follow evil's path, behold my power…" The Unicorn Dopant attacked desperately and then struck Showa down with another series of lightning bolts from the sky. However, Showa was not only unharmed but he was still moving as he finished, "Beware my wrath!"

POW!

A fist connected to the Unicorn Dopant's face, sending him staggering. This was followed up by another punch in the snout, another one across the face and then a punch right in the Dopant' stomach, causing him to double over before Showa slammed him to the ground with a heel kick to the back. The Unicorn Dopant rose back to his feet and tried to attack with a punch but Showa was faster and his punch connected with the Unicorn Dopant's chest, sending him stumbling back. He then grabbed him by the horn and pulled his face down to slam his knee into the Dopant's snout, violently, releasing him only by snapping his horn in half, much to the Dopant's horror and dismay and pain. The Dopant was sent rolling away with a kick to the chest, hitting some more rocks on the beach painfully.

Sutherland growled in anger and humiliation. Why had he not known about this!? The commoner was a Kamen Rider!? Unbelievable! Of course now it made perfect sense! No wonder Princess Shawna favored him.

The Unicorn Dopant may have lost his Lightning Horn but he still had his other powers. He then summoned a thick fog which would prevent his opponent from seeing him and allow him to attack his blinded opponent as only he would be able to see.

Showa saw the fog rolling and the Unicorn Dopant vanished from sight. Suddenly, he was hit in the side like he just got kicked by a horse, and then received a blow to the face so hard that he nearly toppled over. He could hear the Unicorn Dopant's mocking voice, "Now you cannot see me. Face it, commoner. I'm the superior one. You can't beat me so you might as well give up."

Showa rebutted, "OK, I guess you didn't get the memo, but I'm not a commoner. I'm a Knight of Genovia. Also, giving up isn't something I intend to do." Showa then used a backhand that hit the Unicorn Dopant in the snout when he tried to sneak up on him. He then used a vicious combo of punches and kicks that hit Sutherland violently. A heel kick to the horse chin of the Unicorn Dopant sent it flying backwards and then Showa jumped up and activated his Great Fists before slapping them down on the Dopant, sending him crashing to the sandy floor of the beach.

Showa then used his nanites to transform his hands into big fans which blew the fog away, revealing the Unicorn Dopant who was rising back to his feet in disbelief. He then decided to use another one of his powers. "As fast as you are, you are not as fast as me!" the Unicorn Dopant boasted before blurring out of sight.

Showa rolled his eyes and snapped his fingers as he called, "Fast Forward," before he too blurred out of sight. Shawna wondered where they had gone but then saw splashes erupting in the water and clouds of sand being kicked up on the beach.

Meanwhile, Showa and the Unicorn Dopant were moving so fast that the entire world around them seemed frozen. The revelation that Showa could move at his speed had stunned the Unicorn Dopant. This wasn't at all what he expected. He didn't want to admit it but he had underestimated Showa. The Unicorn Dopant was being forced on the defensive as Showa landed blow after blow upon his body without fail. Clearly, in terms of actual fighting skill and experience Showa had the Unicorn Dopant trumped. Also, the Sutherland couldn't keep up this speed forever and had to stop just in time for Showa to unleash a combo of punches. The Unicorn Dopant was hit 100 times in the span of a single second before being knocked into the air by an uppercut.

"I think you should be the one to give up," said Showa as he dusted off his armor, but Sutherland would not allow himself to lose.

"NEVER!" He threw his hands forward and unleashed a blast of intense wind at Showa to send him flying. Showa dug his feet into the ground and continued to advance as Sutherland pressed on the attack. Showa, however, wasn't going to let such a weak breeze intimidate him and therefore was going to show this douche-bag just how the elements should be wielded.

"Gokuaku, it's time to shine," said Showa.

'Finally! I've been waiting for ages!' Gokuaku responded in Showa's head.

"LET'S BRING DOWN THE THUNDER!" shouted Showa as his Spark Core spun and let out a red glow as his body became engulfed in a tornado of powerful wind, shocking lightning and intense flames. This not only cancelled out Sutherland's attack but blew him away. He was stunned as he saw the tornado that spun around Showa before it was dispersed as suddenly as it had materialized.

What the Unicorn Dopant saw in Showa's place was an angry demon known as Showa Oni Form.

"Mommy," squeaked the Unicorn Dopant as Showa cracked his knuckles and threw his arms to the side, summoning the Oni Claws and rushing at the Unicorn Dopant so fast he barely saw him coming.

Sparks flew as Showa swiped and slashed at the Unicorn Dopant, causing the despicable douche-bag to howl in agony from each blow. This guy tried to kidnap Shawna and force her to marry him. That would also mean that Sutherland would try to force himself on Shawna. That could only mean rape and Shinichi hated the crime and rapists who committed it.

One last blow sent the Unicorn Dopant tumbling along the sand, injured and weakened by the continuous pummeling. He shakily got back to his feet, his knees trembling as he saw Showa glaring at him. "Please…mercy!" begged the Unicorn Dopant. "No more! I give up! I surrender!"

Showa ignored Sutherland's pleas and rushed at the Dopant using wind to propel him forward. His body crackled with electricity and ignited in flames. He then reached his target and stabbed his claws forward into the Dopant's chest. The Unicorn Dopant screamed as he exploded.

End Song

Shawna saw the fireball erupt and the mushroom cloud which resulted from said fireball. She then spotted Shinichi and cried out happily. He was dragging Sutherland by his ankle and the douchebag was mumbling, "But…he promised…power…power…" The remains of the Unicorn Memory lay shattered and charred on the ground due to the intensity of Shinichi's attack.

Shawna ran towards Shinichi and hugged him and he returned the hug with one arm, holding his princess close. "You won," she uttered, happy.

"Were there any doubts?" he asked. He then let go of Sutherland and took out his C3. "I think we should put Lord Salad Bar away for a bit."

"It's…Lord Sutherland…" groaned Lord Sutherland.

"Shut up," Shinichi told him before absorbing him into the C3 and caught the card which ejected from the device. He then turned his attention back to Shawna and smiled in a way that made tingles run up and down the princess's spine. He then kissed her deeply. This caused her to moan into the deep kiss as her eyes closed. As they broke the kiss, her cheeks were flushed as he spoke, "So, I think I will take you up on that offer, Shawna-chan."

"My offer?" asked Shawna, a little dazed by the kiss, until she realized what he meant. "Oh, that offer!"

"You wanted me to make you a woman, didn't you?" he asked. Shawna nodded. He smiled, "Good. I think we have some time before your father sends a search and rescue party." He then gently laid her down on the sand and got on top of her, smiling softly. "I promise I'll be gentle." He then took her lips into a kiss as his hands began to roam all over her body.


By the time they returned to the palace, which was hours later, they were dirty and covered in sweat and sand. They were also exhausted and needed rest. As for Sutherland, his fate would be determined by King Edward himself and the king was not in a very merciful mood.

After a bath and dinner, it was already late so it was thus time for bed. Shawna needed her rest after her ordeal and had requested that Shinichi spend the night in her home. He really couldn't decline such a generous offer from the princess so he accepted.

Shinichi didn't wear much for bed. All he had on was a t-shirt and boxer shorts to sleep in. The bedroom he'd been given reminded of the one he had during his short time as GIN-SHOCKER's High Commander, even if he'd only been acting.

He heard a knock at the door and without wasting any time he went and opened it to see Shawna, in a bathrobe, looking at him with reddish cheeks. "Shawna-chan?" he asked. "Shouldn't you be in bed?"

Shawna entered his bedroom and he closed the door behind her. She was rubbing her hands together and was gazing at him in a very familiar manner. He knew that look. After all the experiences he had with it he knew what Shawna had come here for.

"Sir Shinichi…could I…could I sleep with you?" she asked.

He was right.

"Shawna-chan…"

"Please…" She loosened the belt around her waist and slid the robe off to reveal her only in her slippers and nothing else. She couldn't resist the urges any longer. After their first time on the beach earlier she just wanted to feel it again.

How could he refuse?

Shinichi smiled tenderly and then put his hands on her shoulders before pulling the nude princess into a deep kiss. Shawna opened her mouth to accept his tongue and the two continued to kiss against the door. The two broke the kiss with a thin line of saliva connecting their mouths.

The Rider then swept the princess off her feet and carried her in his arms, bridal style, and then turned towards the bed. Shawna was then carried over to the bed and gently put down on the mattress.


Shinichi returned to the Hive via the Teleportal the next day and was greeted by his AI counterpart. "So, how was your visit?" AI-Shin asked his template.

"It was great," answered Shinichi. "I got to see Shawna, spend some quality time with her and her dad, stayed for dinner, slept over and finally made Shawna a woman."

"Nice!" AI-Shin complimented. "Bet she had a very Happy Valentine's Day!"

"She sure did."

"This calls for a celebration, with drinks!"

"Oh, you mean like Sex on the Beach?" asked Shinichi grinning. "I already had it. It was sweet and smooth."

"Awesome!"


KAMEN RIDER CHROME: Nothing too long or too short, so a decent chapter. Sorry Love it? Hate it? Tell me about it, OK? Also, two hot lemon scenes for you guys as well. I hope you enjoy them as well. Bushido helped to intensify them.
