Kiva's World…

At a cemetery in Okinawa, Kyo Renjou, Hagi and Saya's adopted family members were standing ion front of a pair of graves where Saya and Kyuu have just been buried. They all were still in a state of disbelief that the two met their untimely deaths at the hands of a stranger who took them out so suddenly after aiding them in defeating Diva. Though they were thankful they still felt anger for his senseless killings. They were talking about Decade.

It's been a week since the brutal attack and David of Red Shield approached the bereaved Kyo to offer his condolences and gave him an offer which he finds it a good gesture.

"I offer my condolences…and I wish to offer you a place to stay after you proven to us that you don't have any relatives. You don't have to answer at once as I want you to think about it. You're still recovering over your brother's loss..."

"Thanks, but I already have a place to stay…I have…three relatives...who can look after me. And I don't think there's anything you can do for me…the Chiropterans have been dealt with and so is Diva...I think there's no need for…"

At that moment, Decade showed up and Kivat pops out of the bushes where he is what the intruder just did to Kyuu he feared he might do the same to the only remaining heir to the Kiva-line left behind by Satoru Renjou. He began to hover above Kyo while Red Shield and Hagi stood in front of the only Renjou child left.

"Kyo...I think this guy wants to kill you next...! Take me and you can become Kiva!"

"Right..."

But Decade wouldn't have it and took out three data cards that have Mask Rider Blade's picture on it and puts them inside his belt. From "Blade-Ace form", Decade quickly upgraded to "Blade-King form". He just sneered at Hagi and Red Shield's attempt to protect Kyo.

"Nice try...but the prophecy will still be fulfilled...death to all Kyuu's..."

Before Kivat was about to "bite" Kyo's hand "Blade-King Form" initiated his attack, the Royal Straight Flush, in which six projection walls having the form of six cards from the Spade decks Ace, 10, Jack, Queen, and King formed in front of him and he "slices" them, causing a powerful energy wave to go forth, killing the soildiers and Kyo, disintegrating them but luckily spared Kivat, Hagi and David. Seeing that Kyois dead, Decade fled by disappearing leaving the three humiliated and grieving.

Episode 26: Dekeido no Touchaku, Zabee no Piripiri

Kabuto's World, present day Shibuya Japan,,,

Still in East Shibuya, Kyuu and Ryu are on their way to the western section when more druids show up and are opening fire at the two Class Q members. Kyuu and Ryu barely evaded them and knew that they could no longer put up with this. This means that they'll have to get rough in order to get past them and help Class G.

Mask Rider Gamma rejoins the two Class Q members and the two armored up and the three of them joined forces in repelling the druids, in whicha firefight erupted.

"We're not giving up…and we won't get intimidated by the likes of you!"

"Kyuu…we'd better transform and knock them aside. We can't waste any more time!"

And so the two took out their mobile phones and punched the codes on their phones' keypads.

0-0-0 ENTER

5-9-8 ENTER

Beta Phone: "STANDING BY…"

Orga Phone: "STANDING BY…"

Kyuu: "RIDER CHANGE!"

Ryu: "RIDER CHANGE!"

Beta Phone: "COMPLETE…"

Orga Phone: "COMPLETE…"

And so the two Class Q members are armored up and became Mask Rider Beta and Mask Rider Orga and they went to action, taking on the druids who responded with high-powered weapons such as RPG, Bazooka and grenades, but this didn't deterred them and went on to tackle their opponents. What they didn't know is that one of the druids brought out a pair of boxes that contain two cobras and are placed near the two DDS students.

As soon as one of the druids made a hand gesture-like signal the rest of the druids retreated leaving Kyo, Kyuu and Ryu baffled until they noticed that two cobras slither their way here and slowly transmogrify into bigger versions and are ready to brawl and going for lunch. This didn't sit well for Gamma and the two Class Q members and they couldn't afford to waste any time. But before anything can be said, one of the mutated cobras spit acid towards its preys and the two Class Q members evaded it, and the acid hit the concrete floor leaving a hole as it melted the floor. Gamma stood in front and realized that this is going to take more than brute force to contain the mutated reptiles.

While still in West Shibuya, the armored Class G members and the ZECT Troopers were still facing off as Larc was aiming her wrist-connected crossbow at the troopers while Glaive demanded an explanation to the troopers whose presence drew suspicion as they saw some of them outside the pet shop loading the dead mutated inside an APC, yet they paid no attention to the DDS students' call.

As it is, the Troopers said nothing and maintained their position and this made the three DDS students more suspicious. Before things could escalate, two pairs of chameleons crawled their way here and everyone looked at it, then they were taken by surprise as the four chameleons slowly underwent a transmogrifying effect, and both sides (Class G and the ZECT Troopers) stood back as the four mutated chameleons are standing tall (about eight feet in height), and barely fit the hall of the shop. To show off their fearsome ability one of the mutated chameleons stick out its tongue and caught one of the ZECT Troopers and went inside its mouth, chomping him away and blood spilled out, splattering against Aya's armored form, earning a scream form her.

This caused the remaining ZECT Troopers to open fire while Class G stared in horror as the three other mutated chameleons nonchantantly stick out their tongues and one by one they ate their preys. As the ZECT Troopers were slowly being devoured in a gory way, in which organs spilled out of their bodies, the others opened fire but this didn't deter them, and Class G are now faced with a big dilemma on how to survive this new threat.

"Ran…what should we do?? Attack those fake SWAT members or the green tongue monster???"

"We go for those mutated chameleons first…I don't like having their tongues sticking at my body…a Super GAL must not get slimed…or eaten up as food…besides…I can't die right now without seeing the latest fashion trend…"

"We'll worry about it later…right now we should first take care of things here and one of us sneak out of here and tell DDS we got a rival organization besides DDS and the police…"

And so Class G joined forces with the remaining ZECT Troopers in taking on the mutated chameleons as the two mutated creatures proceeded to devour their prey despite getting attacked, seeming unmindful of feeling pain as their hunger is more important than getting wounded. Within seconds the human side is diminishing as more troopers were getting eaten alive while others were chomped apart.

Going back to East Shibuya, Gamma, Beta and Orga were having difficulty in dealing with the transmogrified cobras as their speed increased along with their size and agility. Even their venom has increased in potency as a passerby inadvertedly came in to the crossfire and got bitten. Within seconds the venom spread to the victim's bloodstream and he died within a minute. Seeing this Ryu couldn't afford to waste time and took out a bladeless hilt while inserting a memory chip inside the bottom hilt of the sword and pressed ENTER on the phone's keypad.

Orga Phone: "EXCEED CHARGE…"

Soon a huge laser blade was formed and the armored Ryu did a vertical sword strike killing the first cobra, slicing it in two parts and this leaves the other one remaining. But the remaining mutated cobra was more crafty despite being bestial in nature as it spits a bucketful of venom and it struck the sword, seemingly melting it and fled.

"Kyuu! Kyo! We've got to go after it and keep him from going to the district! It'll be pandemonium if it sees people and make snake food out of them!"

"Go straight! Kyo and I will go this way and cut him off! Then we trap him and use the Rider Kick!"

With that the DDS students split up and hoped that they would trap the giant cobra before escaping the alley and head to the streets so they can kill it before it gets a chance to cause more damage to life and property.

- - -

Elsewhere within Shibuya, Kenji Fujima is waiting inside an APC with a few ZECT Troopers awaiting orders. He was starting to get a bit restless as he knew that his troopers are slowly getting killed after hearing from the radio about the druids and the mutated animals overrunning a few areas there and just now he got a distress call coming from West Shibuya.

"Requesting backup! Requesting backup! We're running out of men! The mutated animals kept on coming...AHHH!!!"

"Blast! We can't wait any longer! We have to do something!"

"Sir Fujima...we have our orders...we can't do anything about it..."

"We can't wait…we'll have to make a move now. Get your weapons ready…we are moving in…"

At that point an APC arrived with 12 ZECT Troopers emerging from the vehicle led by a man dressed like a scientist carrying a briefcase and approached a surprised Fujima as he handed to the ex-Shoyo captain the contents of the briefcase. As soon as he opened it he was a bit baffled at what he just saw. Moreover, the ZECT Troopers' outfits all resembled with a color scheme resembling drones from a swarm of wasps.

"Doctor…what's with this brace…? And why are there no other contents in here??"

The scientist, resembling a 50-year old man with white hair and a goatee, as well as resembling Gyro Gearloose (except that he doesn't look like a goose), began giggling like a nerd as he told the young man the instructions on how to use the brace and what to do once he wears it on his wrist should he decided to use it. He began to speak lke a computerized voice recorder while the ZECT Troopers listens with intent and are quite aware of what's about to happen next.

"This is a brace…sure it looked like a bracelet but it's no ordinary brace…it's one of the five devices developed by ZECT. It is one of the two devices that ZECT managed to save after those blasted druids stole the rest of our equipments. Now then…when you're ready for action, place this device…which we call it the "Wasp Zecter"…on your left wrist…and once you've wear it…tiny sensors are affixed to your skin and this gives you telepathic impulses that allows you to summon the main Zecter…once you see it it'll automatically dock in on the bracelet. Just affix it and you'll have the power of…TheBee! Yes…you'll be encased in an armor and be given superior strength and weapons similar to a wasp. Now go now as I know you wanted to save lives…but make sure you avoid getting in to a confrontation with those DDS students…mind you their armors are quite inferior when comparedto yours…but boss' orders…avoid facing them…Shibuya has no room for Mask Riders…hee-hee-hee…"

As soon as Fujima placed the bracelet on his left wrist, the scientist gave him last-minute instructions before he moves out towards East Shibuya and gave him an instruction manual as well as how to operate it.

"You're wondering why the ZECT Troopers with me are different in color...well, they'll be your subordinates from now on...and since you're given the assigned name, TheBee...of course these special troopers are patterned after drones. They are called Shadow Troopersand they are your personal men. Enough said, now go!"

With that he affixed the bracelet on his left wrist and heads out for East Shibuya to combat the rampaging mutated animals with his own ZECT Troopers following him. They are called Shadow Troopers since their outfits resembled drones.

Meanwhile Orga was chasing after the remaining mutated cobra and is almost within his grasp when a van blocked his way and out came several druids firing bazooka shells at him and this greatly delayed him from stopping his prey. Despite being in armored form Ryu could still be rendered disoriented and he knew he couldn't afford to waste any time, so he went all-out and went inside the van to disable the druids inside there. However he noticed that one of the druids is in the process of unloading fuel and attempting to open a grenade, realizing that the druids here are intending to scafrifice their lives to take him down.

"Blast...these druids are determined to sacrifice a lot of people...and I wonder if they're fanatical or not...Kyuu...you're the only one who can stop this..."

Orga jumped out of the van just as the grenade pin was opened and within seconds the van exploded and he narrowly escaped the explosion unscratched, and now he has a headstart to go after the monstrous reptile. As he heads off, another set of druids arrived and are about to ambush the Class Q member when the Shadow Troopers arrived and physically tackled them while stabbing them with their Machine Blade Gun, a weapon that consists of an automatic machine gun with a retractable blade, which they use for close-quarters combat. not far away, Fujima and a handful of his troopers looks on and decided to go to the nearest alley where the mutated cobra might head to next.

Not far away, Kyuu, in his armored form of Beta, managed to halt his prey's escape when he used his phone-pistol to cause a section of the wall to collapse and blocked the cobra's path. Now he inserted his Beta Pointer on his right ankle and inserted a memory chip and then he pressed the "ENTER" button on his keypad while executing a final attack. An energy drill was produced in front of the giant cobra and all he has to do is perform and connect an energy drill-like kick.

"Sorry, snake-face...but I can't let you kill more people than you already have..."

But before he could finish off the cobra, Beta was struck down by an RPG shell and he was knocked down. Looking at his side he saw several druids disembarking from the van and this agitated Kyo, as he went to their direction to attack.

"Darn! Why won't you stop this??!!"

Then all of the sudden the Shadow Troopers arrived and engaged in a firefight with the druids, thus enabling the armored Kyuu and Kyo to sneak away from the assault and continue his attack on the cobra. But what he didn't know is that Fujima has already arrived and is ready to activate his Wasp Zecter. Fujima raised his left arm and you could see a mechanical bee hovering above and docked itself on the brace and then he lowered his wrist. With that he affixed the bee on his Zecter and then he chanted "Henshin". A computerized voice recording spoke to confirm the password and a strange transformation took place.

Wasp Zecter: "HENSHIN…"

In an instant Fujima is enveloped in yellow energy spectrum and is encased in an armor within seconds, completing the transformation. He has become "TheBee", and he is now ready for action and gave orders to his own troops, the Shadow Troopers who are now awaiting their next move.

"Take out the druids…spare no one if you have to."

And so the drone-themed ZECT Trooper engaged in a physical fight with the druids as he goes after the giant cobra, as it started to spit acid to melt the barricade. As Kyuu was about to try another attack he saw TheBee jumping on the head of the giant Cobra and impaled something on its cranium, and this caused the mutated reptile to swirl violently as the newcomer continued to prick something on the huge cobra and this went on for almost 80 seconds before the cobra collapses, thus ending the terror. At that point Orga arrived and stood beside the armored Renjou brothers, surprised to see TheBee getting off the corpse.

"Kyuu…who is that guy? And who are these troopers? They don't look like SWAT team."

"I'm not too sure, Ryu…and you're right…they're not SWAT…and I'm not sure if they're from Shibuya…but they did help in stopping the druids…maybe we should ask them who they…"

Then more druids appeared and opened fire with bazzokas and RPGs whichkilled a few Shadow Troopers and TheBee decided to try out another of his weapon's power as he began flipping the TheBee Zecter's wings out, then rotating the Zecter clockwise 180°, resulting that his bulky, upper armor beginning to "fall apart", then he chanted "Cast Off", in which the Wasp's Zecter accepted Fujima's voice command, and the upper armor "exploded" into debris, knocking down some druids, and TheBee was revealed to have a second layer of armor which now resembled a wasp. This was TheBee's secondary form.

Not wasting time TheBee goes for the kill and tinkers with the Wasp Zecter, in which a power charge begins when the button on TheBee Zecter is pressed. He then chants, "Rider Sting", and the Wasp Zecter acknowledged it and the attack is all set.

And when he starts attacking the druids, TheBee uses the prick-stinger of the Wasp Zecter's needle to punch at the selected targets. Because of its extended charge-life, TheBee can deal consecutive 'stings'; usually when confronted by multiple opponents. The druids appeared to have been stunned, but because they were wearing strapped explosives, the explosived unintentionally sets off, exploding and killed them.

Nearby, someone managed to watch the scene and took a picture of TheBee, and you could see a smile within the silhouette.

The three DDS students' discussions were abruptly interrupted when several canisters were thrown at their feet, and released tear gas-like compounds, choking them though they weren't lethal, but it disoriented them for at least 15 minutes. As the smoke cleared, the troopers and the mutated creatures, along with the druids' corpses, were all gone.

"What…what's going on here???"

"We don't know…but we'd better go get to Class G…"

- - -

West Shibuya. Class G were now the only ones remaining as the two transmogrified chameleons consumed all of the ZECT Troopers and now the three armored Super GALS must make a make-or break approach as their two huge attackers are about to make their own move. They stick out their prehensile tongues but Ran (as Glaive) and Miyu (as Lance) used their bladed weapons to amputate them but this didn't deter the two monstrous animals.

At that point Kyuu and Ryu (both back in their normal forms) arrived and they saw what is happening. But before the two are about to activate their armors a pair of huge, wrist-sized pellets dropped on them and it flashed, blinding the five DDS students with bright light and then the same canisters were thrown at them and non-lethal smoke placed them on hold and after 25 minutes the scene showed that the smoke cleared and any evidence on the bizarre incident that happened hours ago are no where to be found, and this made the five DDS students concerned.

"What's going on here??? Kyuu, Ryu…any ideas??"

"Sorry…this was the same ploy used on me and Ryu by some guy in a wasp armor…"

"But I did get a glimpse…some of those SWAT-like soldiers have a logo…it says…ZECT or something…but other than that…I don't have much clue on this…"

Class Q and G glanced at Aya for a few minutes before they reverted back to normal, but then something unexpected occurred. The Shibuya police arrived and in a bizarre twist of events, they were invited for questioning despite showing proof that they were from DDS. It took Morihiko Dan himself to personally get them out while the five students told them what happened but due to lack of evidence they went under a lot of heat.

"…I see…then we have to be careful. Even though this ZECT helped matters in dealing with the druids, assaulting you is something we can't ignore. Be careful from now on and I have a feeling we will hear from them again."

And so they all went home while Ran told her family about what happened and this made the Kotobuki parents very concerned. Meanwhile police were blocking the affected areas though they made no mention about DDS or about the unaccounted deaths brought about by the druids or the mutated animals.

As the Renjou brothers and Ryu are about to leave, the mysterious man showed up to the three. As Kyuu asked him what does he want, the man immediately initiates his transformation to Decade and is ready to attack his target. Seeing that Kyo is there, he decided to kill him as well.

"In the name of the Prophecy...I must kill you...as I killed all other Kyuu's..."

"What??? What are you talking about???"

"Who are you and what do you mean fulfill the "prophecy"? What does that have to do with my friend?"

"Great...first druids...then armored SWAT-like soldiers...mutant animals...robo-scorpions...a guy in a wasp armor and now some armored asshole who thinks he's a prphet and wants to take out my brother...GEEZ!!! We already had a bad day and this...???!!! "

To Be Continued…
