Here we go! PART 3! These first two chapters are pretty short but they do their job well!


Kamen Rider W
A to Z / Riders Emerge
Chapter 21 – U Can Drown / Nagi Speaks Up

Overlooking the reconstruction of the Narumi Detective Agency, Shotaro scratched his head "We need to drag these fights elsewhere, between the Prime Alpha and NEXT we've caused a little too much destruction around Fuuto."

Akiko ran by and hit him over the head with her slipper that read 'expensive' "We have no where near the amount of money needed for the repairs! You need to start taking on some real jobs!"

"But the fake riders are out there! We can't just ignore them as they continue their search for whatever it is they want!" Shotaro turned away, hoping that the information that Nagi is going to give Terui, will help in hunting down the remaining riders.

"Nagi, you must first tell me what you know before I tell you how to remove the RiderMemory Driver." With that, Terui held up four photos, the ones recovered from the Prime Alpha file of the individuals he didn't recognize.

"Very well...those are the kids, the ones who took their rider powers and disappeared rather quickly, they don't really care for the power that Mr. Master talked about. They just wanted to use their new powers for personal gain."

"Kids to eh? I wonder why they appealed to this Mr. Master so much..." Nagi grinned and answered the officer's question.

"Their RiderMemories respond a little too well to them, the power they are granted is much more than they can wield. They all think it's a game...but they don't know they're loosing, if they continue to use those memories, they will be corrupted and transformed into raging Dopants like Renn and Kenji, even if they are still wearing their drivers."

Terui turned away and thought "Damn, this Mr. Master is one sick man to use children in his vile plot..."

"Their names are Takato, Osawa and Dan, they go by the title of The New Kamen Riders, rather silly if you ask me."

Terui turned back and held up the fourth photo of an old man "Who is this one?"

Nagi's grin and joking exterior went away almost instantly "I noticed Koichiro was brought in a while ago...Royal Class Jack, very powerful...did you do him in?"

"Yes...what of it?" Terui watched as Nagi stood up and turned away "That man and his allies are very powerful, it'd be fair to see they are on par with the Royal Class...Yamamoto however, the one on the photo, he has more power than even King Zennosuke. If you are planning on going after him you better be packing some serious firepower."

Just as Terui was about to say something, another imprisoned rider spoke up "Last I heard, Yamamoto's group moved to a new location...Jin believes that they've located another piece of the prize."

Terui turned to Koichiro who sat in his cell, turned away from the officer "Another piece of the prize?"

"You didn't know?" Koichiro said while laughing, he turned to Terui "The ultimate prize is in three pieces, it is fair to say that NEXT leader Kikkawa attained one of them but with the loss of the intel, didn't know where to find the other two. With Kikkawa dead...there is only one person who could have taken his piece from the NEXT ruins before your cops got there."

"Mr. Master." Terui slammed his fist into the wall "I was so close and I didn't notice...damn it!"

He looked back at Nagi "Since you helped me, I'll tell you...to remove the belt you must turn yourself into a Dopant, it will rise to your exterior and you can pull it off..."

Nagi jumped into the air and laughed "Yes! Now I can be free of this Mr. Master!" he stopped laughing and looked around, after a long pause he stated "I need a memory..."

Sitting in his half-complete office, Shotaro turned to the new clients, he decided that Akiko was right and while the enemy riders were still at large, they needed money.

"So all of you are mothers and your children started hanging out together out of nowhere...then they vanished and you haven't seen them since." Two of the mothers nodded while the other wiped her eyes.

"You have any photos of them? Mrs. Inari?" the middle one nodded and gave Shotaro three photos.

"The one in the middle is my son Dan and the other two are Osawa and Takato." Shotaro nodded, "I'll get right on it."

After Shotaro left the phone rang and Akiko answered "Hello...ah! Ryu, whats up?"

"Tell Hidari that I've got the identities of four more of the riders and-"

"He actually just left! I'll go tell him!" With that she dropped the phone and ran out after Shotaro.

"Akiko! Wait!"

"Yes, I've actually heard that all three of them have been seen around banks and jewelry stores and the like a few days before they are robbed. Some people believe that they try to convince officers that the places are about to be cleaned out while others think that the kids themselves are pulling it off but how do three kids who are about 16 hold up some of these ridiculously protective banks? Doesn't make sense does it?"

Shotaro nodded after listening to Watcherman's intel "It doesn't make much sense." He stood up, still nodding "Unless you add RiderMemories into the equation."

"Thanks again Watcherman! See you around!" With that Shotaro turned and walked away "Got all that Philip?"

"Yes, Shotaro...I'm going to look-up now." Shotaro noticed Akiko run up to him before coming to a stop and breathing hard.

"Shotaro...Terui called...information from Nagi...new riders..." Shotaro took a bottle of water from the HardBoilder and gave it to her.

After a quick drink Akiko sighed "He said he got the identity of four more riders!"

"Alright then...who are they?" Shotaro tapped his foot as Akiko scratched her head "Oops! I hung up on him before he told me..."

Before Shotaro could start yelling there was an explosion down the block "Philip! Get ready!"

As Shotaro ran off to confront this new threat, another man watched him go "So he is one of this cities protectors? I should watch how he works..."
