Masked Rider The 1st

Okay...Kuriko is captured all thanks to Sniper Wolf, and the two ex-Powerpuff girls are cashing each other along with a dozen SHOCKER Troopers trailing them and are on Agent HOPPER # 2's side. How will Momoko be able to bring Miyako back to her senses?

And now the younger Akatsutsumi is about to be tortured, so will she be able to persevere against the sadistic torture? Or will she give in?

Back at the underground passage Hyper Rider went inside the large room to see if there are any enemy forces waiting inside. Seeing that the coast is clear, she motions Kuriko to come inside, and then the younger Akatsutsumi took a fire extinguisher and spayed the floor in full power, in which certain portions of the floor which was covered in snow exploded, and it revealed that the portions of the floor that exploded were laced with claymore and landmines.

"Looks like we nearly got suckered into a trap, but it's a good thing I was smart enough to see if there are traps around. Well, the coast is clear now…"

"Show-off…"

The two sisters went forward and are looking at both corners to see if there are soldiers hiding and intending to make a sneak attack, but everything is clear, and are about to advance further when Agent HOPPER # 2 and the combined forces of the genome soldiers and the SHOCKER Troopers arrived and quickly entered the large room, and the two sisters realized that they're in big trouble. They immediately targeted the genome soldiers first and took them out before they had the chance to fire their guns, and Kuriko took one of the soldiers' semi-automatic guns and opened fire, killing the soldiers and even threw C4's at them leaving only Agent HOPPER # 2 and the SHOCKER Troopers to fend off, and this time the tide shifted in the enemies' side as they are equipped with bullet-proof body armor and bullets couldn't touch them, and the two sisters decided to retreat as they saw a ventilation shaft beside a stairway and told Kuriko to go on ahead, but then a tranquilizer dart hit her on her left shoulder and Hyper Rider vaguely saw someone at the top of the stairs moving and then fired another dart at Kuriko, hitting her at the right leg, and there she recalled that someone shot her at the cargo vessel, and was about to help her but the 10-year old made one last attempt.

"Nee-sama…go to the…shaft…you're…our only…hope…"

Kuriko threw a stun grenade at the SHOCKER Troopers, stunning them, and Hyper Rider went through the ventilation shaft and fled, tears dripping from her eyes as she was forced to leave her younger sister behind, but Agent HOPPER # 2 managed to recover and followed Hyper Rider via the ventilation shaft and the chase is own, while the Troopers picks up the now unconscious Kuriko while the shooter emerged from the stairs, and is revealed to be a woman in her 20's, and of Kurdish descent.

"Take her to the main building…the boss would be half-pleased that we've captured one of our troublemakers…the rest of you, go to the shaft and help Agent HOPPER # 2 in apprehending Agent HOPPER # 1. And the rest of you…back to your stations."

And so Kuriko is taken away while 20 SHOCKER Troopers went inside the ventilation shaft to follow the two cyborgs while the rest picks up the corpses of the killed genome soldiers and intended to dispose of them as they serve no other purposes now that they're dead. The large room then was deserted and no one was left standing there except for a few soldiers wiping the bloodstains off the floor.

Those were the last thoughts Kuriko recalled before she lost consciousness as she succumbed to the effects of the tranquilizer darts that struck her twice, courtesy of FOX-HOUND member, a woman named Sniper Wolf. By the time Kuriko woke up, she finds herself strapped in a bed with wires and suction ducts attached to her wrists and legs, and saw several electronic equipments surrounding the room, and then she saw four persons, three men and a woman entering, seeing that their prisoner is awake. It was Liquid Snake, and with him are Revolver Ocelot, Dr. Shinigami and Sniper Wolf. Ocelot was stretching his fingers as he wanted to torture the 10-year old brat who cost him his rand hand, while Shinigami ponders on doing an experiment on her or discard her.

"So...you're the little brat who took our Agent HOPPER # 1 away from us...and I'm surprised you've managed to outwit Psycho Mantis...too bad you won't be able to outwit this guy here...he's pissed off and wanted to pry you apart, piece by piece...As much as I want to stay and hear you scream...I have other things to do...goodbye...and good luck..."

As the sniper from Iraq left, Ocelot approaches the prisoner and looks down at her, revving things up before the torturing session begins. He was grinning at her while grabbing her hair a bit forcefully to make her feel fear, but to his surprise she still displays her crafty self and even mocked him which he was insulted instead of her.

"So...you're into sadomasochism?"

"What are...? Are you trying to psyche me out??"

"Which explains why you're engaging in this. You don't have a wife...let alone a girlfriend so you're into this Marquis de Sade thing. I bet you're birdie's too small and you can't have any fun..."

"YOU LITTLE BITCH! LET'S SEE IF YOU'LL LAUGH YOU'RE WAY OUT OF THIS ONE!"

Liquid Snake and Dr. Shinigami laughed their hearts out at the rather "violent" conversation and decided to leave at once to let Ocelot deal with her. Kuriko saw Ocelot preparing the equipment and guessed that he was going to electrocute her. She braces herself as the inevitable is about to begin and is determined not to give in to him, knowing that Momoko must do everything in her power to bring Miyako back to her senses and stop the bad guys before they bring in more kidnapped victims and turn them into cyborgs.

At the ventilation duct, Hyper Rider had just reached the end of the passageway and learned that she was in another part of a cave, and when she made a few steps forward a pack of wolves jumped onto her, and a big one was pulling on her long, red hair. Thankfully she was wearing her helmet or the wolf would have crushed her skull. She fought them off with sheer ferocity but realized that they were wearing collars and are physically stronger than normal ones, and realized that they too were turned into cyborgs like her and Miyako.

"Grr...now even animals are being molested scientifically...I've got to find a way to bring Miyako back to herself or else...hey...how did Miyako got here? She's in Japan and I was abducted in Alaska..."

After taking down all of the cyborg wolves, she looked around to see which path she should take, but then someone kicked her square on the face, and she careened against a rock wall with her helmet falling off. As she got up, she wiped her busted lip that was dripping with blood, and saw Miyako, in her guise as Agent HOPPER # 2 emerging from the ventilation duct, and moments later 15 SHOCKER Troopers came out and surrounded Momoko. She realized that the troopers are just like her...teenagers, and are being controlled, so she started to shout at them to wake up from their brainwashing but to no avail as one by one the troopers began to attack her and she put on her helmet to defend herself. Finally, Agent HOPPER # 2 spoke for the first time, and this creeps the hell out of Momoko.

"You have your orders...if she doesn't show signs of submitting to our cause...slay her. Even if you have to rip her apart...do it, but only if she refuses to return to our side..."

Hyper Rider clenched her fists as she knew this is going to be one hell of a fight and she decided to take out the troopers first before confronting Miyako. She looked around her surroundings as the troopers are encircling her like a school of sharks and she braces herself for the inevitable fight.

At the torture room, Ocelot began the torture by electrocuting her whole body, but at a lower voltage as he attempted to intimidate her, but as the electrocution is underway, she recalled what she learned from a practitioner from India about doing yoga stuff and how to block the pain from her body, and how to apply them using concentration. She immediately went to work just before the torture began. As Ocelot paused the session, he noted that she was swelling all over her body, and she was sweating, but she showed no signs of feeling pain, and she looked at him and began to taunt him.

"Is this the best you can do?? Why don't you lie down here and I'll do the session? Then I plug the plug onto you're candy-ass! You Jabroni!"

"Eh? You can still rebut after this? Very well...let's see if you can withstand this one..."

Ocelot slightly increased the voltage and she was starting to feel the pain but she resisted and started laughing like a hyena to masked the pain she was feeling, and this caused the torturer to become baffled by this, wondering where she gathered the will to resist the pain. But then he was taken aback when she began to insult him again.

"Hah! I bet your momma had small boobs and that's why she didn't give you milk and now you're just a dirty old man! I bet your pubic hair is as grey as your moustache!"

"You brat! You think you're smart?? Let's increase the volume a little more..."

And he increased the voltage of the machine and she was now feeling the effects of the torture but she resisted and continue to tease him as her way of showing defiance to him and now she was shouting and laughing instead of showing signs of feeling pain.

"Your birdie's too small and that's why you prefer small girls...maybe you should go make love to an orangutan...you looked just like one...! Better stay away from snakes...they might mistook your balls for eggs...! You wouldn't...want that to happen...!"

"OKAY, YOU LITTLE BITCH! IF YOU WANT TO PLAY GAMES...THEN I'LL BE A TAD SERIOUS! LET'S SEE IF YOU CAN ENDURE THIS ONE THOUSAND VOLTS AND I'M BETTING YOU'LL PLEAD FOR MERCY..."

And so he further increases the amount of voltage and now she was screaming in pain, and now it was his turn to laugh, but then Dr. Shinigami came in and lowered the voltage amount as he has plans for her, much to Ocelot's annoyance and skepticism.

"Spare her for now...I have plans for her. She'll be very useful to us and I'm sure Liquid Snake would be pleased with my proposal..."

"Funny...I don't recall asking for your opinion...and bear in mind I'm in charge here..."

"But I'm in charge of doing experiments...she may be a good, live bait in luring Agent HOPPER # 1 in case she runs afoul in our midsts...believe me...she'll do just well as our pawn...as well as our hostage..."

Ocelot groaned grudgingly as he accepted the scientist's advice and turned off the equipment as he watches Shinigami carry a now unconscious Kuriko out of the torture room and left. He wondered if he was doing the right choice, but he was nevertheless satisfied that he got his revenge on her and when her usefulness is no longer needed he'll re-torture her again if given the chance.

Back at the caves, Hyper Rider ran off and a chase ensued after she took down seven SHOCKER Troopers and head off towards another room, and this consists of a factory where industrial equipments are there and had several floors, and below was a pit full of what appeared to be lava, and there she got an idea on how to get the troopers off her back, and she taunted the remaining eight to go after her, and when they took the bait, one by one Hyper Rider did a series of roundhouse kicks that sent them going inside a cart-like box, which was a hard task, since they are strong as herself since they're cyborgs, which the process took her 13 minutes and when the eight SHOCKER Troopers were placed there, she speeds up her plans as the troopers were attempting to get out, and then she made a last-minute plea before executing her final plan.

"I'm so sorry...all of you..."

She threw the cart onto the pit of lava, and they screamed in pain before sinking in. Despite their cybernetic components and body armor, it couldn't withstand its high temperature continuously and they melted in a matter of five minutes, since there is no ladder near the pit so they couldn't get out by climbing, and since they're in the pool of lava, jumping is quite impossible, and their fates were sealed. Then she confronted Agent Hopper # 2 and they walked away from room and back to the cave, but then she got a call from her codec...it was Otacon.

"Momoko...lure Miyako towards the upper levels of the Communication Tower...to do that, you'll have to go back to the hidden passage which links the Commander's room and the nuke building...there's another secret passage once you get back there..."

"I'm a little busy here with Miyako...wait...how will I lure her..."

"Someone told me...believe me...a good Samaritan is helping us...Kuriko is with me right now...I'll explain later. Just follow my advice..."

Reluctantly, Hyper Rider did what Otacon asked her to do, and when she ran towards the cave, Agent HOPPER # 2 followed, and a chase in in progress again. She wondered what was happening and how Kuriko is in his hands when she knew she was captured.

At the control room Liquid Snake, Revolver Ocelot, Decoy Octopus and Dr. Shinigami were having a rather heated discussion as to who was impersonating the scientist when they discovered that Kuriko has escaped with someone disguised as the scientist, when the Kuriko they saw at the medical room changed forms and revealed to be Decoy Octopus. Octopus told them he blacked out and the next thing re remembered he was impersonating the prisoner.

Then the four men came to one painful deduction on what this means: Psycho Mantis. He has betryed FOX-HOUND and now ordered both soldiers to find him at all cost.

To Be Continued…

Surprised?
