Kyugan: whew, been a while, good to be back.
Shinji: Where were you.
Kyugan: Muffin Button.
Shinji: What?
Kyugan: Bored now, updating.
Ghost Nappa: Ooooh...Sick burn.
Settling Accounts.
"What are you saying…" Shinji demanded, the last Ikari looking up at the masked man, Zero he had called himself, as he continued to stand before them, putting Hikari behind him "You…Know Lelouch?"
"I do." Zero nodded, his helmet jerking downwards as he continued to look between the last Ikari and Hikari, who was still perched on the teen's bike "Which is why I must be the one who stops him…before any more people are hurt."
"You're Lying!" Hikari asked, her unease overpowered by her confusion as she continued to stare at the masked man that had been dogging their, or rather Lelouch's steps, since he arrived in their world "Lamperouge-san would never-!"
"You are not the only people who have been hurt associating with him." Zero assured them, his tone grim "Lelouch is a manipulator…he uses people like pawns to get what he wants…relying on slight of hand and backstabbing to further his aims…" he clenched a fist in a show of emotion, "using those same methods to dispose of anyone who gets in his way…"
"That's not true!" Shinji countered, waving a hand to the side as he glared at the masked man, his eyes filled with hard distrust "Lelouch isn't the kind of person to use people like that! Sure he's a little arrogant…" he paused at the masked man's look "Okay more than a little, and maybe he doesn't stop to think about other's feelings all the time…" he clapped a hand over his heart "But he knows how people suffer! He can feel their pain! And even though it has nothing to do with him…he does whatever he can to stop it, no matter the cost to himself!"
"You're still naïve…" Zero sighed, shaking his head as he lowered his hand, the limb receding within the folds of his cloak "but you will soon learn the error of your blind faith…" he turned on his heel "as I did…"
"Wait!" Shinji yelled, reaching out for the cloaked man, only to blink as the fog cleared, yelping as he backpedaled out of the path of an oncoming van, which swerved to avoid him, leaving a trail of destruction and broken artifacts in it's wake. "What the hell?" the last Ikari stammered, sweating not from the near brush with death, but the relieved preassure of Zero's presence. It hadn't gotten any easier since the first time he'd seen the man…if anything it seemed all the more intimidating "What WAS that?"
"Ikari-san…" Hikari called out, the freckled girl looking at her fellow survivor in concern as the cars blared their horns behind her "We should go…"
"Yeah…" Shinji agreed, the last Ikari mounting his machine, Hikari holding on as he revved the engine, pulling away from the lights, their features troubled.
With Decade...
Knight and Ryuki tumbled out of a nearby mirror, grunting as they rolled across the floor of an abandoned warehouse, the rhino Rider barrel-rolling out after them, even as Decade stepped through, the green eyed rider looking down at the local riders as their armor disappeared, revealing a wincing Judai and Manjoume, and a tall, tanned teen in camouflage pants, marching boots and a Jurassic Park tank-top, a yellow bandanna over his dreads. "You alright there soldier?" the teen asked, kneeling down next to Judai, patting the teen encouragingly on the back, much to his discomfort "C'mon soldier, laugh it off!"
"Thanks for the assist." Lelouch offered, his transformation wearing off as he detached the Decadriver from his waist "Who did you say you were again?"
"Sir!" the teen snapped, getting to his feet, dropping Judai in the process, and snapping off a salute that caused Lelouch to blink "Private Tyranno Kenzan, at your service SIR!"
"Uh…at ease there soldier…" Lelouch muttered, sweatdropping "Just what kind of boot camp did you drop out of?"
"Sir! The Domino division of the JSDF SIR!" Tyranno replied, his back going even straighter as he continued to stand to attention, much to the others' exasperation.
'I was kidding about the boot camp thing…' Lelouch muttered, the sweat drops on the back of his head multiplying as he stared at the teen in bewilderment, only to shake himself and hold out his hand "In any case, thanks for the assist."
"Was my pleasure!" Tyranno assured the purple-eyed teen, finally dropping the salute and accepting the proffered hand after wiping his own off "Anything ta help out a fellow Rider."
"Cut the crap…" Manjoume muttered, clambering to his feet with a glare "Don't tell me you believe in that 'all for one' bullshit…"
"What're you talking about their soldier?" Tyranno asked, the teen's eyes narrowing slightly, and Lelouch could have sworn they took on a vaguely reptilian tint "You're a Rider right?"
"That's what I'm saying you military nut…" Manjoume muttered "Much as I hate to admit it, that fucker's right…" he glared at the group "the true enemy of Riders are other Riders…"
"That's not true!" Judai insisted, the brunet pushing himself up, Tyranno crouching down to help the teen to his feet slowly "Manjoume…you say that…but you saved me back there!" he looked the stubborn Rider in the eyes "You might not want to admit it…but that doesn't change the fact we're comrades!"
"Comrades?" Manjoume repeated, looking at the muscular private with a look of exhausted disdain, as if the word offended him somehow, before turning on his heel and hobbling off "Feh…screw this…I'm outta here…"
"Manjoume…" Judai called out, the brunet reaching out to the black-clad teen, only to blink as Lelouch stepped forward, the elder teen tossing something at Manjoume's head, the teen catching it out of the air.
"Our number." Lelouch explained, referring to the card that Manjoume now held in his hands, looking the stubborn Rider in the eye "Do what you want with it…but we'll be in touch regardless."
Manjoume glowered, before scoffing, storming off with his hands in his pockets, his face a storm cloud of mixed emotions.
Later...
"So that's how it is." Judai finished, as the Riders walked along, the brunet filling in Kenzan, Lelouch refused to accept the teen's first name was 'Tyranno', as they made their way towards Osiris Journal.
"So there's a mirror INSIDE the mirror that's controlling all the monsters?" Kenzan muttered, his features intrigued "That's first class information private! Where'd you get that Intel?"
"That'd be me…" a voice called out, the trio looking up to see Tenjouin Asuka leaning against a pillar, a concerned looking Hikari and Shinji at her sides "These two filled me in on your hair brained scheme…" she explained, shaking her head at the group's appearance with a slight frown "I told you that you'd get hurt if you kept this up."
"You got us, Asuka-san." Judai agreed, grinning weakly as he rubbed the back of his head, wincing as the motion upset his bruises "Though I'm more worried about Manjoume…"
"Manjoume?" Asuka wondered, the female rider standing straighter, looking at the brunet in shocked confusion "Was he hurt? What happened?"
"He and a few others jumped us when we tried to help someone." Lelouch replied, his tone hard, causing Hikari and Shinji to look at him in concern "Fortunately, believe it or not, Viper showed up and took out one, then took off, taking Chronos with him." He shrugged offhandedly at Asuka's bewildered stare "Shoji tried to get him to finish Judai off…" he smirked at the brunet as he spoke "but it seems I was right about him…"
"Manjoume couldn't do it…" Judai revealed, earning a look of shock from Asuka, as Manjoume had always come down hard on the brunet about how serious the Rider Battle was "Then Verde tried to take us out, and Kenzan here came to the rescue."
"Couldn't leave a fellow Rider hangin' ma'am." Kenzan explained with a polite nod, Asuka blinking at the teen's mannerism, before shaking her head with a sigh.
"So what?" she asked, turning to look at Judai and Lelouch head on "Are you still going to try and destroy the core mirror? Just the three of you?"
"Doesn't look like any of the other Riders want to help." Lelouch reasoned, shrugging his shoulders offhandedly, even as Hikari looked at him in concern and Shinji frowned, his fists tightening "In either case, its better to finish this now…before Shoji has a chance to regroup."
"There's no talking you out of this…is there?" Asuka demanded, looking the trio in eyes, noting the determined resolve in their stares, before sighing "Alright…count me in."
"Asuka-san!" Judai exclaimed, smiling up at the tall girl excitedly, even as Kenzan let out a whoop, pumping his fist in the air "What changed your mind."
"Don't get me wrong…" Asuka countered "I'm doing this for my own reasons. If I go with you guys, there's a good chance Viper will try to stop us." She scowled "And when he does, he's MINE."
"Sounds like you have some personal business with our resident psychopath." Lelouch noted, his tone coy, though as Asuka glared at him, she noted his eyes were serious.
"He killed my brother." She explained, the younger Riders' eyes widening as Hikari clasped a hand over her mouth in shock "Fubuki…was supposed to be one of the Riders…Viper killed him and took his place in the Rider Battle."
"So you joined up for revenge." Lelouch noted solemnly "But what would you have done after you killed Ohja? Would you have gone on killing riders to get you wish?"
"Maybe…" Asuka admitted, looking down at the ground "It hurt really bad when Fubuki was killed…I wanted so badly to bring him back…when I was offered a place in the Rider Battle, I jumped at the chance."
"Offered?" Lelouch repeated, frowning at the female rider, his mind whirring as all the pieces began to fall together "So unlike Judai, someone gave you the CHOICE to become a rider?"
"All of us were." Asuka supplied, nodding her head "He just appeared before me after my brother's funeral…He said he could give me the power to avenge Fubuki…and that there was a way to bring him back."
"What did he look like?" Lelouch asked, wondering if there was a way to nail the source of the Rider Battle down "Did he give a name?"
"Yakko Tenma." Asuka supplied, holding her elbows as she shivered at the memory of her first, and only, encounter with the Rider Battle's mysterious backer "He was a creepy looking guy, late teens to early twenties at most, with long white hair and a freaky smile."
"That's the one who gave me MY deck!" Kenzan declared, the private's eyes widening in disbelief as the others gaped at him "Said he was with Military R&D and that it was a prototype unit for the JSDF!"
"I'm guessing he used a tailor-made sales pitch for all the other riders too…" Lelouch muttered, his tone grim as he frowned "Going by that logic…it's clear he's organizing this event for his own benefit…more than likely there's no prize at the end."
"You mean he's been playin' us all fer saps?" Kenzan demanded, the teen's eyes becoming reptilian once more as he punched his palm "That tears it! I'm gonna pound that freak so hard there won't be enough left to court martial!"
"Get in line…" Lelouch muttered, his tone ominous "I don't care WHAT his reasons are, a coward that treats people as pawns in some twisted game of chess just pisses me off."
The Next day...
Despite Judai and Kenzan's insistence on charging in headfirst and finishing things once and for all, Lelouch and Asuka maintained that they would be better off getting a good night's sleep to recover from today's battle, though for security's sake, Lelouch suggested they all camp out at the Osiris dorms, in case Shoji and his flunkies tried something.
The following morning, after several gut-busting hours waiting for Asuka and Hikari to vacate the bathroom, the four Riders lined up, their features resolved as Shinji and Hikari spread a reflective sheet of metal-foil between them. "Let's do this…" Lelouch muttered, slapping on the Decadriver, slotting in his card as the local riders slid their decks into place "Henshin!"
"Kamen Ride: DECADE!" the Decadriver declared, the Riders' respective transformations completing, Decade clenching a fist, before leaping head first into the sheet metal, Ryuki, Femme and Gai following in his wake.
"Good luck everyone…" Shinji muttered, wishing he could join them, but for some reason, while he could SEE into the mirrors, and hear the shrill calls they echoed during a monster attack, he couldn't traverse the portals like Lelouch.
Still, that wouldn't stop him from pummeling any monsters that set foot on THIS side, and heaven help Shoji Manjoume, or any other rider, if they dared lay a finger on Hikari.
Mirror World, I2 Underground Parking Lot...
"So this is where you met Koyo Hibiki…" Decade muttered, eyeing the interior of a parking lot beneath the I2 building, where Judai had been ambushed after being turned down for an interview with the acting CEO.
"Yeah…" Ryuki muttered, his tone solemn as he stared at the spot where his predecessor had dissolved in his arms "It's weird…I never thought why he was here when he was…" he stared down at his hand "I don't even know why he was in the Rider Battle."
"He joined because he had a terminal illness…" a snide voice called out, the group spinning round just as Verde walked into view, his tone smug "but the fool didn't have the guts to keep on killing…even if it meant his own life."
"Hibiki-san wasn't a fool!" Ryuki snapped, only Gai's grip on his shoulder keeping the dragon Rider from lunging at Verde, "You take that back!"
"Wanna try and make me?" Verde asked, spreading his arms wide, even as several figures stepped out of the shadows on all sides. The first to appear was tall, with brown, fur-lined armor and a helmet lined with gazelle horns, the second was slightly shorter, dressed in white armor with blue tiger stripes and a similarly designed helmet over her black bodysuit.
"Tiger and Imperer…" Femme noted, the Swan rider's gaze washing over the new arrivals as they lined up behind Verde, gripping her blanc-visor tightly "Been a while, Reggie."
"Hey, Asuka." Tiger greeted, her tone laced with an American accent as she tossed her axe-like Dest-visor from hand to hand "Still trying to avenge Fubuki?"
"Considering the two of you were dating I'd have thought YOU would've jumped at the chance first." Femme countered, her tone accusing as she glared at the tiger Rider.
"Don't get me wrong…" Tiger countered "It hurt a lot when Fubuki died…" she shrugged offhandedly "But I moved on…the Rider Battle's no place for personal grudges."
"That's where you're wrong…" a voice hissed, the group turning just as Ohja swaggered out from behind a pillar, his Sword Vent in hand "The Rider Battle's tailor-made for setting old grudges…" he spread his arm wide "It really is the greatest game in creation!" he turned his menacing glare onto Decade and the rest "I won't let you spoil my fun…"
"Four on four?" Decade wondered, quirking an eyebrow at enemy riders, drawing a card from the Ridebooker as he spoke "I like those odds!"
"Attack Ride: BLAST!" the Decadriver declared, Decade opening up the brawl by firing on Verde, who chuckled darkly as he disappeared from view, the rest of the Rider's throwing themselves at one another.
Femme, predictably, went after Ohja, the two of them slashing at each other with their respective sword Vents, causing sparks to fly as the weapons collided, the two practically nose to nose as they got in each other's faces.
"Well now…" Ohja chuckled, his tone laced with dark amusement "I haven't had this much fun since I first signed up for the Rider Battle…"
"I'll make you pay for what you did to Fubuki!" Femme vowed, the two breaking apart, only to clash once again in a shower of sparks.
Gai vs Tiger...
Gai faced off against Tiger, the two heavy hitters clashing in a show of strength, though Gai was slowly forcing Tiger on the defensive with his superior might. Tiger, however, had the benefit of having a weapon on hand without having to Vent, and used her Axe to force the stronger Rider back, giving her room to slot in a card "Strike Vent!"
"Not gonna happen!" Gai countered, drawing a card of his own, tossing it into the reader built into his left shoulder guard "Confine Vent!"
"Wha-?" Tiger stammered, looking up at her opponent as the claws she'd just summoned shattered into glass and disappeared "Huh…so you're not just a muscle head after all…" she murmured, readying her axe even as Gai summoned his own Strike Vent, slotting another card into her Dest-Visor as he charged "Too bad you're not the only one that can run interference!"
"Freeze Vent!" the Dest-Visor declared, Gai halting in his tracks, a thin layer of Ice coating his armor, even as his feet were incased in a block of ice, giving Tiger the time she needed to deliver a punishing blow to the midriff with her axe.
Decade Vs Imperer...
"So what's your angle on this?" Decade asked, clashing with Imperer, who had leapt into the fray with his Spin Vent summoned "What'd Tenma promise you?"
"What's it matter to you?" Imperer countered, his tone dismissive as the two of them separated, drawing a card and slotting it into the Visor on his knee "You're trying to stop us from attaining it, it's only natural we try and stop you."
"Advent!" the Giga-visor declared, tensing, turning to the side as he heard the pitter-patter of running feet, only to swear as several Zelles charged him en masse.
"Oh that's just bullshit!" the dimensional rider swore, rolling clear of the stampede and ducking behind a pillar after driving a few of them off with a few crack shots from his Ridebooker "This guy's got his own HERD?"
"Gigazelle's the leader of the other 'Zelles." Imperer supplied, his tone decidedly smug as he stood in the middle of the herd "They follow his lead, though I can only command him."
"Monkey See Monkey Do, huh?" Decade muttered, grimacing as the herd rushed his position once more, drawing another card from the Ridebooker "Well I think it's time to even the playing field a little!"
"Attack Ride: ILLUSION!" the Decadriver declared, Imperer looking on in shock as Decade's image blurred, separating into six identical copies, all of whom were slotting cards into their drivers "Attack Ride: BLAST!"
"Shit!" Imperer swore, rolling out of the line of fire, even as his herd was mowed down, the Zelles bleating in agony, while Gigazelle leapt to cover its master "You'll pay for that!"
Verde vs Ryuki...
"You're pathetic…" Verde taunted, the chameleon rider lashing out at Ryuki, who could only stumble around as the invisible Rider's Hold Vent slashed into him from all sides "Seriously, the fact that Jun couldn't finish off a weakling like you just proves he's not suited to be a Rider."
"You're the one who's not suited to be a Rider!" Ryuki countered, glaring in defiance as he used his Guard Vent shields to weather the worst of the assault "Someone like you should never have been made a Rider in the first place!"
"Oh shut it." Verde sneered, appearing right in front of the dragon Rider and delivering a punishing blow to the midriff, kneeing the younger Rider in the face as he doubled over, before reaching for his belt "I've heard enough of your hero crap…time to die-!"
"Nasty Vent!" a Visor declared, Verde looking up just in time to howl in pain as Darkwing flew down, screeching it's head off, causing the chameleon rider to grip his head in agony. "Shoji!" a voice called out, Verde turning, only to curse as the business end of Knight's Sword Vent slashed against his armor, the younger Manjoume keeping up the assault as he forced his brother away from the downed Ryuki "This ends here!"
"You little brat!" Verde swore, lashing out with his hold Vent to force his youngest sibling to back off "Don't fuck with me!"
"Strike Vent!" a visor declared, Verde cursing as he was engulfed in flames, Knight looking over his shoulder to see Ryuki directing the fireball with his strike Vent in hand, Dragreder hovering behind him. "Finish it, Manjoume!" the Dragon Rider declared, Knight inclining his head in understanding, before drawing a card from his deck and slotting it in.
"Final Vent!" the Dark visor declared, Darkwing flying in low as Knight charged forwards, the bat attach ng to his back, forming a long cape, even as Knight leapt into the air over Verde.
"No!" the chameleon rider yelled, slotting in his clear vent and making to run, but Knight was already coming down on him, his cape forming a massive drill as he smashed into the elder Rider, Shoji's screams silenced as he exploded from the impact.
"Who's the weakling now…?" Knight demanded, standing up from the small crater that had formed, glaring down at Verde's deck at his feet, even as Ryuki jogged up in concern
"You okay, Manjoume?" the dragon Rider asked, looking the other teen over in concern, and a hint of wariness if he were honest with himself.
"Fine…" Manjoume muttered, standing up straight, before pointing his Sword Vent at Ryuki's helmet "Don't get me wrong…I didn't do that to save you-!"
"Sure, no problem." Ryuki agreed, his tone amused, so amused you could practically FEEL the grin he was leveling at the bat Rider "Thanks all the same."
"Feh…" Knight muttered, lowering his weapon as he shook his head, either in embarrassment or disgust was uncertain thanks to his armor "Freaking weirdo…"
They paused, looking up at the sight of a thin curtain rising, eyes widening under their armor as they espied a single, solitary mirror standing under it, emitting a keen shrill. "Hey!" Ryuki gasped, the dragon Rider grabbing Knight by the shoulder as they stared at the mirror in confusion "That's gotta be it! The Core Mirror! If we destroy that!"
"Let's just finish this…" Knight muttered, nodding his head grimly as he hoisted his Sword Vent up, advancing on the mirror purposely "the sooner I take care of this mess the sooner I get my inheritance."
"The only thing you'll be inheriting is a shallow grave." A voice opined, the duo whipping round, only to cry out as they were sent flying, courtesy of a backhand slap to the face.
With the others...
"What the hell?" Decade wondered, the green-eyed rider looking up in alarm as Ryuki and Knight crashed between him and Imperer, the other Riders looking up from their respective duels to gape at the newcomer as he stepped forward.
He was tall, easily the tallest Rider here, dressed in a black bodysuit over brown and gold armor, the shoulder guards fletched like wings. His helmet was set in a menacing glare, and his arms were crossed before him.
"C…crap…" Knight swore, the last Manjoume propping himself up as Ryuki shook his head, dazed from the blow "Of all the times for HIM to show up…!"
"I would have preferred not to get involved so early…" the newcomer muttered, glaring down at the downed teen, his arms still crossed "However…I cannot allow the Rider Battle to be interrupted."
"So Tenma's finally gotten off his ass to stop us…" Decade muttered, smirking inside his helmet at the newcomer's helmet jerked in his direction at the mention of the mysterious organizer's name.
"I see…" the newcomer muttered, his tone deep, laced with understanding as he glared at the green-eyed rider "So your one of the interlopers…the one that's been interfering with the Rider Battle."
"It's a talent of mine to meddle in other people's affairs." Decade admitted with a hint of pride, his tone mocking, "Still, I don't think anyone with a hint of sense would stand aside after seeing what Tenma's up to." He snorted "Tell me, what'd he promise you?"
"That's none of your concern…" the newcomer opined, glaring at him with his arms crossed before him "The Rider Battle will continue…after I dispose of you."
"You can try!" Decade countered, aiming the Ridebooker at the golden Rider, only to blink as the man vanished, a few golden petals hovering in his wake "What the-?"
"Over here." The deep voice intoned, Decade turning right into the path of a backhanded bitchslap that sent him sprawling across the asphalt from the impact.
"Lamperouge-san!" Ryuki called out, rising to his feet and rushing the golden Rider, his Sword Vent in hand "TEME-!"
"Muda-da…" the golden Rider countered, pulling his vanishing trick once again, appearing behind the younger Rider, who jerked to a halt, only to cry out as his opponent reappeared, swords in hand, delivering a punishing series of slashes to his unguarded back. "I knew Koyo Hibiki." The golden Rider admitted, his tone distant as he eyed the downed Rider, swords in hand "He was a great man…had he not turned against the Rider Battle, he might have gone on to great things."
"If you think so highly of him…" Ryuki gasped, glaring up at the golden Rider in disdain, gasping for breath "Then why don't you honor his wishes?"
"I have my own reasons for taking part in the Rider Battle." The golden Rider countered, his tone low, filled with hidden emotion as he raised his swords high "That's why I cannot let you interfere-!"
"Shoot Vent!" a visor declared, the Golden Rider roaring as he was knocked off his feet, the round detonating against his flank as Ryuki looked at his rescuer in amazement.
"Non-non-non!" Zolda tsked, the Italian Rider twitching his finger in a contrary motion as he lowered his oversized Shoot Vent, the barrel of which was sill smoking from being fired "I'm afraid I can't let you do that, Signore Odin."
"Chronos…" Odin muttered, rising to his feet, holding his wounded flank with a grimace as he glared at the newcomer "Don't tell me…"
"What can I say?" Zolda muttered, shrugging offhandedly as he inclined his head towards the downed Ryuki "Sometimes even the strictest prosecution can be moved by the defense."
"Chronos…!" Ryuki cheered, looking up at the Italian Rider in amazement, Zolda making a weird gesture with his fingers, as the other Riders gathered round.
"Looks like it's down to this guy." Decade noted, having left Imperer buried under a pile of collapsed ceiling debris, groaning but alive.
"Keep your guard up…" Zolda cautioned, leveling his Magnu Visor at Odin "Signore Odin is the strongest Rider for a reason Na-No-Ne."
"That just means he wont be callin' in no reinforcements!" Gai reasoned, the rhino Rider popping his knuckles, looking a little battered from his battle with Tiger, having used his Final Vent to punch her through a wall "This is in the bag!"
"You think so hmm?" Odin demanded, getting to his feet and leveling his swords at the group, his back to the Core Mirror "Then by all means…do try-!"
That was as far as he got before a sword punched through his chest from behind, the Riders looking on in confusion as the strongest Rider's swords fell from limp fingers, clattering audibly in the sudden silence.
"Well this is no good…" a cultured voice sighed, the Riders looking on in stunned wonderment as a figure stepped out of the core mirror, dressed in Shark themed rider armor, his hand gripping the sword that had stabbed Odin in the back "I was hoping that you'd put up a better showing than this…" he looked over his shoulder at the remaining Riders "Looks like I'll have to settle things myself."
