Masked Rider The 1st

Better buckle up, folks, because the ex-Hyper Blossom is back and will take the "hero" role from here on. She and Kuriko will get to work now that Hal Emmerich will become their third ally once they came into an agreement to try to prevent Metal Gear Rex from falling to the wrong hands, that is...if they can get past a lot of armed goons.

So expect a little dialogue before the action resumes.

While Momoko is fast asleep, Kuriko then starts having a conversation with Hal Emmerich as she tells him about what is happening here at this base and what they are after. Of course he was surprised when mentioned about Metal Gear REX, and there he reluctantly tells her what he knows about REX.

"That's the name of a new weapon we developed for the US Army. It is a mobile defense TMD, which stands for TheatreMissile Defense. It was designed to shoot down nuclear missiles...but only for defensive purpose."

"Really...? But with the ability to be upgraded to a nuclear walking death-mecha?"

"What did you just said??"

"The terrorists are planning to use this REX to launch a nuclear weapon that is already in their hands...I just came from the main building and they have a nuke missile there...and all they need is a big gorilla to carry it on its arms...and Baker told me that they're using your designs to create a cybernetic foot soldiers...just like what they did to my sister there..."

"No...this can't be..."

"Grr...tell me what you know about this REX..."

"The Metal Gear REX has near-impenetrable compound armor, a pair of vulcan cannons, anti-tank missiles, and a free-electron laser, to protect itself from conventional forces. Its primary weapon, however, is a magnetic railgun capable of delivering an untraceable nuclear warhead anywhere in the world, without the propellant trail or launch flare that gives away the launch position of a traditional ballistic missile. Because of its sealed, one-man cockpit and thick armor, its sensors are concentrated in a radome on the left side of its body; this radome is very vulnerable to attack, and destroying it effectively blinds the REX, forcing the cockpit to open. In this state, the REX is vulnerable as its controls can be easily destroyed."

"But did you know that they have the plans of REX and thus they have the capability to launch a missile that is filled with radiation and nukes? And imagine World War II where Japan was bombarded by an Atomic bomb...only to be repeated..."

"No...I can't let them..."

"From what Baker told me...only you know where it is...is it hidden?"

"Yes..."

"Then we should get there first and if we activated it, we might drive those terrorists away..."

"…I'm…"

Emmerich and Kuriko stared at the floor for almost an hour as they are thinking of a way to get to the other building without alerting the guards after discussing about how to deal with the rest of the victims who are, by now, turned into brainwashed minions, then they resumed their proposal as to how they could contact help without attracting attention, but then a voice spoke and this surprised the two of them.

"Don't count...me...out...I may still be...able to help..."

Emmerich and Kuriko turn around and saw Momoko struggling to stand up, and the two sisters hugged, and from there on, Kuriko told Momoko about what happened to her and why she became a "cyborg", and now the elder sister has a new means of saving the day, but then the younger girl took out what appeared to be a long, red ribbon. She fastened it around her neckline forming a scarf, and there she gave it a thumb's up.

"You may no longer be Hyper Blossom but you're now a new hero!"

Emmerich then glances at Momoko and opened his laptop and looked at a footage he played, and then at Momoko. He was ecstatic at what he just found out and is now filled with excitement and hope as he realized who he is talking to.

"So...you were one of the famous Powerpuff Girls Z of Japan ...it really is you!"

"Not…anymore. But thanks to those creeps…I may have a second chance…all I need is a little time…to adjust to my new-found powers. We'd better move to another location. The guards might caught up with us. We'd better find some place else to formulate a plan. Mister…can we count on your help?"

"Sure, you can count on me."

And so the three of them moved out of the room and went to a hidden passageway that Emmerich discovered and are now free from trouble, but one of the guards who was able to breathe managed to contact his superiors before he expired, and that sets off the next chain of events that would put the three "heroes" in a heap of trouble.

"…Agent…Hopper…went…mad…still inside…with Emmerich and…the other girl…don't know what…happened next…requesting…back-up…ASAP…I repeat… Agent…Hopper…went…mad…still inside…with Emmerich and…the other girl…don't know what…happened next…requesting…back-up…"

At the conference room of the main building, Dr. Shinigami was in a state of disbelief after receiving the distress call form the guard who just died, and Liquid was quite surprised by this, but he still has faith in his Japanese ally and told him to calm down and asked him if his second creation is ready, in which he said that the next experiment is ready.

"…I see…but I'll contact one of my soldiers to personally escort her there…but how about you send your "SHOCKER Troopers" there and give them a test run should the first one proved that she rebelled? That way we can evaluate if they're as strong as the Agent Hopper."

"Yes…a good idea…but about this soldier…why accompany my second creation?"

"This Kuriko was able to bring Agent Hopper back to her senses…and should my agent managed to knock her out he might persuade Agent Hopper to return to our side."

"Very well…"

Thirty minutes later Shinigami sent his "SHOCKER Troopers" at the building and one of he roopers informed boh the scienistist and Liquid th the FOX-HOUND soldiers were indeed killed nd that both agent Hopper and Emmerich are nowhere to be found. They began to search the whole area but found nothing. More FOX-HOUND soldiers were sent and both faction soldiers intnsified their search but they found nothing, and Shinigami was being berated by Ocelot for not carefully ensuring that Agent Hopper won't betray them, but Raven's taunting further escalated the tension but then a voice spoke to them via their minds and this grabbed their attention.

"I know where they are...and what are thy up to...they're attempting to call for help and I relayed it to the soldiers. They should be up there by now. Now we see if the SHOCKER Troopers are up to it and if they can subdue Agent HOPPER."

Liquid Snake smiled at this and now the problem would be solved in just a matter of time, and then gave the "voice" instructions on what to do next.

"Ahh...good you decided to "join" in...if you do know where they are...be my guest and intercept them. I do believe in "mind over matter"and I know you can pull it off. But be careful...both are very crafty."

"Fear not...they cannot get past this master of mental power...their brawns won't save their bodies once they submitted to my psycho-kintetic power..."

The "voice" disappears and the villains went back to the monitor to find the whereabouts of the Akatsutsumi sisters who may still be hiding at the nuke building, but they expected that the next "fighter" would bring the two sisters down and have them brought back to be re-programmed by Shinigami.

To Be Continued…

I guees this means that Momoko is back to herself…right? Well we won't know until she wakes up…but if she does, what next?
