DHS CHAPTER PART 21: GENOVIA
Warren was sitting in his office and he let out a deep sigh. He had his face buried in his hands. Before the knock even came Warren spoke out, "Come on in Ryuki."
The door slid in and the Head of DORA walked in. "Director-san..." began Ryuki before Warren raised a hand to silence him.
"No...No "Director-san" right now," said Warren. "I need a friend right now, not a subordinate."
Ryuki decided to break character from the serious Head of DORA to being the friend Warren made all those years ago. Taking a seat, the redhead asked, "You're still thinking about what happened, aren't you?"
Warren let out a sigh. "Two of my friends and their kids are dead simply because they knew me. Hell, I've got Nichole's name tattooed on my shoulder. And then James and Lily died because I wasn't there to help. And now poor little Harry's an orphan."
"We can't save everyone, Warren," Ryuki quoted. "Even with all the power at our disposal we can't expect to save and protect everyone. We just have to do the best we can."
"I know, but it still hurts."
"So, what do you plan on doing then?" Ryuki asked seriously. "Are you just going to sit there and mourn for them, or do something in their memory?"
Warren looked at Ryuki. "I've already filed the paperwork to have Harry placed in my care until the mess with their will is taken care of. By that time, it will have me as Harry's guardian. I'm supposed to go and pick him up tomorrow after the doctors have checked him out."
Ryuki smiled and said, "You really can't resist cute strays, can you?" That was the thing he liked about Warren. He had a huge enough heart for everyone.
"Just like how you can't resist demonic hell puppies," Warren retorted, referring to Ryuki's pet Brimstone. "Speaking of which, where is that little hellhound?"
"He's not so little, and I think I last saw him at the King's Terminal Park giving Tessa a ride." Ryuki added, "Harry couldn't have asked for a better guardian and family."
"It'd be better if James and Lily were alive, though."
"You should go and visit their grave, and also pay a visit to those relatives of theirs," spoke Ryuki, referring to the Dursley. "I'm glad Harry won't end up with them. From the files I read of Vernon and Petunia Dursley, they are not the most open-minded of people. Not the type of environment I'd put a baby wizard in, that's for sure."
Warren gagged, "Ugh, I met them at James and Lily's wedding. They're horrible people. But you're right. We're going to need to go over the funeral arrangements with them. I'm not looking forward to it."
Ryuki joked, "Try not to use your Penance on them."
Warren snickered, "I've been tempted. Oh, how I've been tempted. He's a cute kid though. He's got his mother's eyes."
Ryuki shrugged. "I wouldn't know. So, would Harry have amazing magical potential? We don't want him going crazy with the magic books like Naruto."
"His potential is amazing. I don't know the details yet, but he managed to repel one of the most powerful dark wizards in his world," answered Warren. "With the right training, he'll be quite possibly one of the most powerful magic users we've ever seen."
"I can't wait. So, what do you think of Shinichi's performance? Would he make a good Avenger?"
"One day...maybe. He's still got a lot to learn about the hero business. But he did good."
"I'm surprised you didn't include Lucy and Naruto in the roster. I know they're young, but they would've been capable of handling such an assignment," stated Ryuki.
Warren reasoned, "I didn't want them to see me like that. Besides, this was an old wound that guys like Cap and me needed to be closed up. Something personal."
Shinichi whistled as he went out to check the mailbox for the mail. It was the usual. There were bills, some ads, but one letter caught his attention.
"Huh, what's this?" Shinichi murmured. It was different than any normal envelope since the edges of the envelope was decorated in gold trim. He then noticed the wax seal on it.
"The Genovian Goddess Genova?" Shinichi blinked, recognizing the deity since she was also depicted on his medal of honor. He opened the envelope and read its contents, which made his eyes widen in shock. "NANI!"
He wasn't the only one. Large shouts of "NANI!" were heard across both Hinamizawa and Okinomiya.
The letter, and similar letters, were all addressed to the members of both the Hinamizawa Gaming Club and the NEO-NUMBERS. They were invitations from Princess Shawna to come and visit her. They were going to need a few days off school to do that. Chie-sensei would definitely assign them homework to make up for the days they missed.
The princess was a good friend of theirs. She'd come to visit Hinamizawa too. It was obvious she had a crush on Shinichi and was quite fond of him. How could she not after he risked himself to protect her. He even gave up the Orb of Wisdom to save her life.
An emergency letter was being held at the NEO-NUMBERS' base for both groups.
"So, you all got Shawna-chan's letter, huh?" Shinichi asked.
"Yeah, and it was a good thing Oni-baba didn't see it," said Mion. Her old grandmother would've gotten a heart attack. She nearly did when Shawna came to visit.
"I almost thought it was a joke," said Keiichi.
"It's all legitimate. The royal seal was on the letters. That's not something easily forged," stated Shogo.
"So, do we go?" Michiru asked. "It'll only be for a few days."
"Hey, Daichi," said Yokoshima, "You gonna ask someone to take care of Scar?"
Daichi shrugged. Honestly, Scar came and went on odd days. The cat didn't stay home with him all the time. It acted more like a stray than a domestic pet anyway.
Shion nudged Shinichi with her elbow, "Hey, Shin-chan." She grinned. "I bet you wanna see Shawna-hime again, right?"
"Well, it's been awhile since we last saw her and I do miss her," he replied honestly.
"We should go!" Rena said. She wanted to see a real castle in a real kingdom, like the ones she read about in fairytales.
"She says a jet will be waiting to pick us up tomorrow," read Satoshi.
Shinichi and Mion announced, "Yosh! We're going to Genovia!" The group cheered.
When Dr. Hasuma arrived for work, he almost bumped into Warren. "I'm sorry, Director-san!" Ryuki apologized.
"Jinx kept you up late night, huh?" Warren inquired, grinning.
"W-w-what makes you say that?" Ryuki stammered, his cheeks gaining a red tint as the blood began to rush up to his face.
'Even at 28 he's still an innocent kid at heart,' thought Warren in amusement. "The love bite on the right side of your neck," Warren pointed.
Ryuki attempted to cover it up by zipping his jumpsuit all the way up to his neck. He seemed a little flushed too.
"You two have been married for over 3 years, right?" Warren asked. Ryuki nodded. "So, why are you acting like a newlywed?"
"Jinx got…creative," Ryuki answered, not elaborating further. He gave a yawn.
"So, how long did she keep you up?" Warren inquired, interested.
"Director-san, that is inappropriate…" Ryuki responded.
"I'm not asking as your Director. I'm asking as a friend." Ryuki mouthed the number of hours and Warren whistled, impressed. "Wow, Jinx is a wildcat in bed!"
Ryuki moaned, "Director-san…"
The following day, a private plane was waiting for them at the airport. On it was the Genovian Royal Seal. The gang was all standing before it as the pilot came to greet them.
"Welcome, guests of Princess Shawna," the pilot greeted. "I am Andrew, your pilot. Please, come aboard."
Hanyuu gulped as she saw the plane. She'd seen them plenty of times on TV but she'd never actually been on one. She couldn't understand how something made of metal could fly like that.
"It's too bad Shiori-mama couldn't come," said Rika.
"Well, Shiori-san is pretty busy planning her upcoming wedding with Kasai," said Shion. "Hey, Shin-chan, how does it feel to know that Kasai's gonna be your new step-dad?"
"Mixed," he admitted, "But as long as he makes Kaa-chan happy, I'm happy." Shinichi had called ARMOR and several of their agents had been sent to protect the village and neighboring town in his absence.
"Hey, slowpokes! Get a move on!" Mion ordered as she dragged Keiichi up into the plane with her. Satoko was also dragging Satoshi in as well.
"She's right. All aboard the Genovia express!" Shinichi called.
Once inside, the plane took off. Hanyuu was sitting next to Chiaki and her hands were gripping the armrest tightly. She looked out the window and gasped at how high they were. It would take several hours until they reached Genovia so to occupy their time they did whatever they could to kill time. Mostly chatting.
"So, your mom's gonna have a traditional wedding in front of the Furude Shrine," said Shion. "Care to comment? I meant she doesn't seem like the traditional type."
"She just wanted it because she had a western ceremony with Tou-chan," Shinichi answered. "She wanted to see what it was like."
"Shiori-mama will look so lovely in her wedding kimono," said Hanyuu. She then imagined herself dressed in a wedding kimono with Chiaki at her side. "Au, Au, Au…"
"So, when's the wedding?" Keiichi asked.
"They plan to have it a week before Watangashi," Shinichi answered.
"So, Shiori-san wants to be a June bride, then," said Rena. "I wish I were June bride too…" She leaned her head against Shinichi's shoulder.
"Che," snorted Daichi. All this talks of wedding and romance was getting on his nerves. Mika's face flashed in his mind. He shook her head. That girl was in another time now. She was, literally, in the past. He did not miss her. He saw Yokoshima looking out the window, waving at something. "What are you doing?"
"Look," pointed Yokoshima. Daichi did and his eyes widened as he saw Asmodeus sitting on the wing. She waved back before vanishing into a burst of gold.
When it was time to eat, the passengers all opened up their pre-packed lunches. Some were homemade while others were brought from the store. The couples were feeding each other and getting all lovey-dovey. This made Daichi scowl. Shogo's face was neutral. He was in 'mission mode'. As the Sonozaki twins' bodyguard, he would perform his duty without question. It was something Oryo and Akane had asked of him.
Hours later, the plane landed on the tarmac. As the group got out, with Chiaki carrying an airsick Hanyuu, they saw their welcoming committee, complete with several horse-drawn carriages waiting for them.
"Welcome to Genovia, Shinichi Banabara," Chris greeted.
"Hello to you too, Chris," Shinichi greeted one of Shawna's bodyguards. "Where's Anthony? I thought the big guy would be here"
"Oh, he's in bed with a horrible stomach ache," Chris answered.
"Really? I thought that guy couldn't get sick," said Shinichi.
"I had the same impression too. Now, please get on the carriages. They will take you to the castle," Chris instructed.
This would be a new experience for all of them as none of them had ever ridden in horse-drawn carriages before.
"OK, now for your shot," said Ryuki as he picked up an injection needle. Sitting in a chair nervously was Shinji Ikari-Smith, one of Warren's adopted children. "Oh, relax! You've faced monsters without fear! A little injection won't kill you!" He paused. "You're not allergic to any sort of medication, are you?" Young Shinji shook his head in response.
Ryuki was performing check-ups for all of Warren's children. As one of the only physicians the Director of ARMOR trusted, he was entrusted with the responsibility of caring for the health of his kids, adopted or otherwise. Family was family.
After Ryuki finished with Shinji's check-up, Warren walked in. He placed a small rocker on the examination table. "Hey doc, got you next patient here ready for his first check-up," said Warren with a grin. Sitting in the rocker and sucking on a pacifier was an infant, barely a year old. He had back hair and vibrant green eyes. On his forehead was a lightning bolt shaped scar.
Ryuki picked the baby up from the rocker. "Is this little Harry?"
"Yup," Warren confirmed.
"I thought you said you've had him checked already."
"It doesn't hurt to have a second opinion,"
"Of course not. This won't take very long, Director-san." He said to the baby he was cradling, "Don't you worry little one. You're in good hands now. Uncle Ryuki will be good and gentle." He then asked, "Are you going to make him a Dark Rider too? It seems like a pattern with all your adopted children."
Warren rubbed his adopted son's head. "Maybe when he's older." The baby giggled and grabbed Warren's finger. "Right now, I just want to give him a good family, and make sure he lives a good life."
"You owe him and his parents that much," said Ryuki in understanding. "Wonder if Alan-kun will be jealous of his new baby brother."
Warren let out a laugh. "Are you kidding? He adores Harry! The two of them play together all the time."
The castle was on a large hill at the center of the large town. Its substantial grounds were protected by high walls and spindly gates. The castle was made from light-colored stone with bright red rooftops and banners with the country's flag fluttering on the flagpoles.
The carriages entered through the gates before stopping and the passengers stepped off.
"Neat!" Keiichi said taking a picture. Shinichi was also taking pictures as well. His mother was unable to come so he promised to take plenty of pictures.
"Come, the princess and her father are waiting," said Chris. On the inside, the group from Hinamizawa was led into the throne room. The throne room was decorated with heavy tapestries that lined the walls and a royal purple rug led towards the throne. Three large stain glass windows stood above the throne.
"Hello, everyone! I'm glad you all could make it!" Shawna greeted, smiling next to her father. She was dressed in a beautiful blue gown and wore a tiara on her head. Her father was a tall man, reaching nearly two meters in heights, with broad shoulders and a muscular frame hidden under his three-piece suit. He had a squared jaw and graying blonde hair. A few wrinkles were evident on his face. Hanging from his shoulders was a cape that bore the royal seal, the Genovian Goddess Genova, and on his head was the royal crown.
Before they could kneel the king said, "Now, now, Shawna has told me the bravery you done. I think we can forego the formalities." His eyes went towards Shinichi. "Are you 'Mr. Samurai'?"
"Yes, that is I, Your Majesty," answered Shinichi. He had some apologizing to do. "I'd like to apologize for losing your family heirloom."
The King of Genovia nodded in comprehension. "Yes, the Orb of Wisdom. My daughter has told me, however, that the orb was originally a relic of your village."
"Indeed it was, but now it is in the wrong hands," Shinichi answered.
"Don't worry, Mr. Samurai. I'm sure you'll be able to get it back and defeat your enemies," encouraged Shawna confidently. "I believe in you!"
"Thank you, Shawna-chan!" He then approached her with a box of Japanese sweets. "For you," he said.
"Thank you!" she accepted.
The group was later given a grand tour by King Edward and Princess Shawna of Genovia. Their bags had already been taken to the guest rooms.
"So this is the Royal Family," Chiaki mused as he and the other admired the portraits hanging on the wall.
The king said, "Yes, and each one depicts a royal family member. Over here we see the Duke Bacard, the only man who actually tried to eat the castle. Luckily, he was only able to eat two rooms before giving up due to indigestion."
The group laughed a bit thinking it was a joke but stop as they heard the king said, "What? I wasn't telling a joke. That really happened."
"Okay..." Yokoshima said, a bit disturbed by the story until he saw the portrait of a beautiful woman hanging on the wall. She looked like an older Shawna. "Who is she?"
The king has a sad look as he said "Ah, that's Queen Zatiye. Shawna's mother."
"I'm sorry for your loss," Shinichi said sympathetically.
"Thank you. I loved her dearly, you know," said the King Edward. "She was the source of my strength, but when she died I realized I could not let the same happen to my dear Shawna." That was why he kept his daughter isolated from the outside world. His fears were confirmed when she visited Japan but she told him that Japan had great defenders known as Kamen Riders. "Thank you for protecting her."
"You're welcome. I actually wanted her to come back here but she put her foot down," said Shinichi.
"Yes, indeed." His daughter was so much like her mother. They were both tenacious and full of spirit.
"Oh, you all must be tired from your trip," said Shawna. "Ladies, would you all like to take a bath? And Gentlemen, the Head Butler will lead you to your rooms."
Meanwhile, the country of Genovia also had some uninvited guests. "So, this is Genovia?" Lovesoul sneered. Standing behind her was a Demon Beast that emitted a powerful and dark aura. "Remember that I brought you here to help me kill those fools. Do you understand?" she reminded, glaring at the Demon Beast.
"Yes, Countess Lovesoul-sama," the Demon Beast snarled.
"I don't trust you or your group," the Head Butler of the Royal Family made his displeasure known to the male portion of the princess' guests while he led them to their rooms. While he'd been ordered to show them to their rooms, he didn't have to be nice to them.
"Oh, really?" Shinichi said, rolling his eyes. He'd heard it before.
"I don't care what the princess said. That was all just some sort of hoax. A scam. Monsters and masked heroes indeed." The butler snorted only to stop rather suddenly. "What the-!" the butler exclaimed as he noticed his foot was stuck. Earlier, while the butler wasn't looking, Chiaki had spat out a wad of glue at his feet. The butler began to frantically pull on his foot as those from Hinamizawa snickered while they left the Head Butler behind.
"He really shouldn't be so arrogant," remarked Daichi. "I mean he's just a servant."
"Yeah, but he's Head Butler to the Royal House of Genovia," argued Shogo. "That's a pretty big deal."
"We'll find our own rooms, thanks," said Shinichi as he and the others left the Head Butler behind.
"I hope it's to your liking," Shawna said hopefully as she and the girls entered the bathroom. The tub was huge and it was filled with steaming hot water. "The water contains special minerals that are good for the body. It may not be entirely like the outdoor hot spring baths in your country, but…"
"Hey, it's fine," interrupted Mion. "This is like the bathhouses we have back in Japan so it's all good."
"I like the mural," Rena admired. It depicted Mt. Fuji, geishas and samurais.
"It was inspired form my visit to your home land," Shawna said appreciatively. "Japan is such a lovely country. I hope to visit it again."
Shion teased, "Don't you mean visit your Mr. Samurai again?"
Shawna blushed. It would appear that she still had feelings for Shinichi. "That would be nice too. He is a very dear friend of mine."
"He's a very good friend to us too," said Mion. Unlike them, Shawna never saw Shinichi's perverted side. He made sure of it. Of course, she'd never believe her Mr. Samurai would be capable of such depravity.
"May I ask you something?" Shawna inquired, "How did he get his powers? He always seemed t dodge the question."
The Hinamizawa girls frowned. That was something in Shinichi's ugly past.
"Let's just say it as fate," Rena said solemnly. Cruel fate, more like it.
"We're lost," said Daichi for the umpteenth time.
"We're not lost!" snapped Shinichi.
"Do you know where we are?"
"...No."
"Then we're lost!"
The male half of the visiting group was lost in the castle trying to find the guest rooms.
"I think we passed that suit of armor a half hour ago," Yokoshima pointed out.
"We need a map of this place," said Satoshi. "Maybe we shouldn't have left the Head Butler behind."
"Trouble, gentlemen?" Chris' sudden appearance caused the guys to scream.
"Hey, Chris," Shinichi greeted. "We were just looking for our rooms and well…"
"We're lost," finished Daichi.
"Hm…" Chris said, "I thought the Head Butler was showing you to your rooms."
"He's a bit stuck right now at the moment," Chiaki answered.
"I see. Very well, let me show you to your rooms. Don't worry about your luggage. It's all nice and safe."
"This is the life…" sighed Mion. She was lying facedown with her face in her arms as she was being given a massage. Shawna was treating them to a full spa treatment.
"Yes, the Royal Masseuses have magical hands," said Shawna. All the girls were getting massages.
"Ne, Shawna-hime," said Rena. "You really like Shin-kun, right?"
"Yes, I do," Shawna admitted. "He's my hero." That was how she saw him. She didn't know he'd been made a cyborg by a terrorist organization and she didn't know he was a pervert. To her, Shinichi was the perfect gentleman, her knight in shining armor, her noble samurai on horseback. In her eyes he could do no wrong.
The guests were given individual rooms. Shinichi was briefly reminded of his short-lived time as GIN-SHOCKER's High Commander as he saw the room. There was lush carpeting under his feet, beautiful furniture with paintings hanging on the wall, golden curtains hanging in front of the windows, and a large canopy bed.
"So this is how rich folk live," he mused. He then jumped backwards and landed on the mattress of the bed. "I could get used to this." He heard a knock at the door. "Come in!" The door opened and to his surprise it was the king! "Your Majesty!" He gasped as he scrambled to his feet. "Hello!"
"Oh, please relax, my boy," said King Edward.
"Hai."
"Mr. Banabara, by any chance are you…" King Edward spoke in a serious tone. Shinichi had a grim feeling of dread rising up his stomach, "Related to Shiori Banabara?"
"Huh?" Shinichi blinked. "Yeah, she's my mother."
"Oh, wonderful! I knew I heard the Banabara name from somewhere," said King Edward. He then took out a familiar looking book from within his jacket that caused Shinichi's eyes to go wide in surprise. "I'm a bit of a fan, actually." He smiled.
"No…way…" Shinichi uttered in disbelief. "You, Your Majesty?"
"I have to keep myself entertained somehow," said the king, his cheeks pink with embarrassment. "So, is she working on another book?"
"Yes," Shinichi answered, feeling more relaxed, "And it'll be her hottest one yet."
"I look forward to it," said King Edward. "I always have my people sent to get her latest books in Japan and sent over to me. She's an amazing writer and she's never stingy on the details."
"That's Kaa-chan for you."
"So, what else has your mother been up to?" King Edward asked.
"She's getting married soon," Shinichi answered.
The King of Genovia was interested to hear more. "Really? Please, do tell me more."
Yokoshima was in his room, and he wasn't alone. Asmodeus was there with him. She'd just appeared when he came into the room. "Nice, huh?"
"Yes, but Beatrice-sama's room is much bigger," said Asmodeus, feigning indifference.
"And the bed's nice and soft too," added Yokoshima as he pressed his palms down upon it. He was immediately tackled from behind and he and his girlfriend fell to the bed.
"Let's try it out," said Asmodeus mischievously.
The princess proceeded to show her female guests the royal garden. There were so many beautiful flowers. She then showed them the royal stables where their prized horses were kept. Rena kept going on and on about how she wanted to take them (the horses) home with her. Shawna knew how much Rena loved cute things.
Later, when the boys were able to join them, Shawna showed them to the courtyard. The courtyard was wide, really wide. It had emerald green grass and benches. This was where Shawna used to play when she was little. Her only playmates were the other servants, she had no others. Now, she had friends. Guards were posted to keep a careful watch on the innocent princess. Chris was also there to make sure nothing happened to the princess.
Just as Mion was about to explain the rules of Zombie Tag to Princess Shawna, something crashed right into the middle of the courtyard. The sudden explosion of dirt and grass caused Shawna to shriek. The NEO-NUMBERS immediately went on guard as they prepared for anything. The guards also had their weapons drawn.
It stomped into the courtyard from the dust cloud with its glowing red eyes. "Greeting fools, I am Knight Peluda!" the Demon Beast roared. It looked like a hairy, humanoid reptile with a long snake-like head and tortoise-like feet. It was also donned in green knight-like armor with the helmet upon its head and the grilled visor over its eyes. It wore a sword at its hip and was wielding a lance.
"Oh come on! I can't even leave the country without these guys bugging me!" Shinichi complained.
"Maybe you're jinxed?" Michiru suggested.
"Not helping Michiru," Hana retorted, rolling her eyes.
The guards immediately reacted but Knight Peluda snorted in annoyance.
"Don't, this is ours!" Shinichi shouted to them.
"Please, do as he says," said Shawna. Only the Riders right now could defeat this monster.
"Your Highness, let's head back inside," said Chris. "You all as well," he told the Gaming Club.
"You know, you made a mistake of coming here alone," said Shinichi. "Let me show you." He summoned his belt. "GX Henshin!"
And after that the other NEO-NUMBERS summoned their own belts and transformed.
"Fighter Henshin!"
"Venom Henshin!"
"Mirage Henshin!"
"Blitz Henshin!"
"Rock-Metal Henshin!"
"Slayer Henshin!"
"And who said I came alone?" sneered the Demon Beast as DHS Fighters dropped in around it to back it up.
"Showa, we'll handle the grunts. The Demon Beast is yours," Zero said.
"Sounds good to me," said Showa as he rubbed his right wrist. He then charged at Knight Peluda. The Demon Beast thrust with its lance but Showa leapt over the monster to land behind it and strike with a crescent blade that came out of his forearm, causing sparks to fly and the creature to cry out in pain. Knight Peluda spun, drawing its sword in a flash to behead Showa, but the Rider ducked and dug his fist into Knight Peluda's armor stomach. There was a dent as the Demon Beast grunted and staggered backwards. He released his wrist blades and countered a slash that came close to his throat before retaliating with a forward jab. He then used a jump kick that hit the Demon Beast square in the chest.
Meanwhile, the DHS Fighters fell at the might of the NEO-NUMBERS who were in their strongest forms. With their overall increased power, the DHS Fighters were nothing compared to them.
Knight Peluda had been disarmed, but it wasn't going to give up. Its throat expanded before it spat fireballs at Showa. He was hit by the barrage and he cried out as the explosions and flames engulfed him. "Heh, he wasn't so tough," said Knight Peluda. It eyed the NEO-NUMBERS who were now its new targets. Suddenly, it received an energy arrow right in the side that pierced its armor. Turning its eyes away from the NEO-NUMBERS, he saw something running out of the flames resulting from his barrage on Showa.
It was Showa, in his Hinamizawa Guardian Form, and he was running straight for Knight Peluda. "Hyah!" Showa swung the Higurashi no Yaiba and it struck the Demon Beast violently, causing a huge spray of sparks to rip off the enemy monster.
"Let's Ride: BLACK RX! Let's Ride: Biorider!" Showa called. The corresponding symbols on his belt flashed and instantly the two Riders whose name he called appeared at his side, brandishing their weapons. BLACK RX was armed with his Revolcane while Biorider had his Bio Blade. Both the Child of the Sun and Prince of Anger stood at the ready with Hinamizawa's Chosen Guardian.
The three then charged and performed a Triple Rider Slash attack together.
BLACK RX: Revolcrash!
Biorider: Spark Cutter!
Showa: Higurashi Zan!
The blades cut right into Knight Peluda and the creature cried out as it was sliced to pieces before exploding. The DHS Fighters also self-destructed upon defeat.
King Edward had been watching the battle the entire time from behind one of the windows. "Looks like my daughter wasn't exaggerating," he thought aloud. He smiled. "Shinichi Banabara. You are quite an interesting fellow, aren't you?"
After the check-up, Harry was sleeping in the rocker as Ryuki informed Warren, "Director-san, in case you haven't known yet, a phantom train has just stopped in the King's Terminals platform. None of the King Terminal's crew dares to go near it."
Warren grinned. "A phantom train huh? Sounds right up my alley."
Ryuki cautioned, "Just be careful. I know it goes without saying, but you better be careful with this train." Warren smiled a mischievous smile at Ryuki. The same smile the doctor had seen in his younger years with Warren. "You're still going, aren't you?" sighed Ryuki.
Warren nodded, "Of course."
"Be sure to bring someone along. I'd go but I'm swamped with work."
"Gotcha, Doc."
Kamen Rider Chrome: The NEO-NUMBERS and Gaming Club are in Genovia. What other adventures (or misadventures) will they have in the fair Princess Shawna's homeland? Be sure to check in for more action and adventure as KAMEN RIDER SHOWA continues. BTW, what did you think of his new power? Able to summon Showa Riders. It's like Diend and Decade Complete's ability. BTW, since Rika and Hanyuu are on vacation, there will be no Rider Special Review today!
