Kamen Rider Zero-One: Revised Chapter 11: Clash Zero-One Vs Vulcan, a kamen rider fanfic

Reviews:

KoutaMamba24: No, it was the HumaGear's name in canon.

Furyuu: Espada...just...It would've made things clearer.

Dragon Rider 66: ZAIA doesn't have the tech to make A.I. systems, *that's* why the massive computer is there. And it was for the Freezing Bear Key, Burning Falcon hasn't even been a thought in ZAIA's mind yet!

Shooting Star Dragon 3000: Let's hope, mate. But yeah, Aruto now has lady problems.

Toa Solaric: Yeah, Fuwa and Aruto's reactions will be priceless if they saw that.

Pikatwig: Well, you wouldn't be wrong in thinking that. Gai *is* capable for that level of sociopathy.

KRNexus: Yeah...It's just...how we see things. And yeah, the legs, thighs and stockings. Probably the most wholesome of anatomy parts...Except for *carefully looks around and then whispers* The hands.

HackerEX: Chapter 9: Thanks, it was intended to be like that. Chapter 10: Well, of course.

Bastion Lightz: We've got different plans for the Dodo multi-bodies thing. It'll make sense soon.

Guest chapter 11, Nov 7: *Sigh* If push comes to shove, we won't be making a 'Kamen Rider Reviced'. Revice has a good plot, I like the MCs and it's currently the only Pink Rider show I actually like. Grey and I have made a promise to not do Revised stories on shows that are the most recent, mostly because we need time and planning for them.

Here are some reviews answered by own GreyKing46:

HackerEX: Well, fun inside Joke.

RNexus: Well, we had to reference it.

Pikatwig: As I have said, just some fun. Also, with Izu's design, we felt like we had to at least reference it.

Toa Solaric: Yeah, typos. Damn.

Shooting Star Dragon 3000: Or helping set up a certain ARK later... haha! HAI! Grey ja naito!

Dragon Rider 66: The Key was Freezing Bear. Because it is based off Flaming Tiger. Because of the palm-element attack?

And ZAIA needs all that space to do all the computing. Zae does most of the work in space, the printer just being a printer.

KoutaMamba24: Ask the show. THEY are the ones who named him.

It was a few days later and Kobe Sakamoto had been rebuilt into a new body, with no Singularity in his new mind. His backup data didn't have that luxury.

Once singularity was reached... Zea stopped backing them up.

"I guess that makes sense. It'd be like a person asking for a save file or something." Aruto joked as he heard the news from Izu.

"Exactly, President Aruto." She nodded although she saw the guilt in his eyes.

"Well, at least their main data is saved and backed up. I can be at least thankful for that." He responded before he pulled out the Freezing Bear Key Yua gave him. He ran his thumb over the key, smiling sadly.

"President Aruto, what's wrong?" She asked.

"Just...thinking. That's all, Izu." He answered as he put the key down. "Right. We've got a long day today and this work's not going to be done all by itself; right?"

"Of course, sir." She bowed.

...

"Did you do something different?" Aruto asked suddenly, noticing that her cheeks seemed... Pinker? And her lips looked... Shinier?

Izu had a small smile crawl on her lips before she bounced her hair a little with her hand. "Only a little."

"Oh..." He blinked and blushed, seeing how beautiful and cute she was... But what made her do such a thing? "I...I think. Ahem. It-it suits you." He admitted, looking away out of nerves and the blush on his cheeks. 'Why is she this cute?'

"Thank you, President." She bowed with a proud smile.

"S-So...Do we...um. Meetings! Yes, meetings! The old meet and greets! Gotta do those important meets!" Aruto spoke with a fluster, walking away with Izu.

*With MetsuBou JinRai*

"You lost the Mammoth Key?" Horobi frowned.

"I'm sorry. It was an ambush gone wrong. Little Assassin and I-"

"We can't just keep getting more Assassins, Jin! They're precious resources!" Horobi snapped.

"I'm sorry Horobi."

Horobi sighed heavily, turning his back to Jin and closed his eyes out of anger. "Explain...this 'ambush gone wrong'. Tell me what exactly happened."

Jin nodded and began to recount the events, he and Little Assassin were talking around, Valkyrie attacking them and using a new Progrise Key to freeze him. How he went missing for a while before he went on a rampage at the school where a HumaGear had reached Singularity. Following that and the proceeding fight between him, Vulcan and Zero-One.

"I see." Was all Horobi said after all that.

"Okay? It wasn't our fault." Jin responded. "...Just looking for new friends."

"Just get going." Horobi ordered as he looked at a purple key in his hand.

"Okay, Horobi." Jin nodded, sounding apologetic and sorry for failing all the time.

"Take a few keys and explore. Cause chaos."

"Really? You're letting me do that?"

"Yes. I need time to download the data for the Dodo Key." Horobi answered, putting his purple Key away. "Ark's will must be maintained."

"Okay, I won't let you down like this!" Jin responded, giving a playful salute. "I can't fail at making chaos."

"I'm sure." He deadpanned.

Jin ran out, carrying as many Keys as he could, shoving them into pocket after pocket and out of DayBreak.

"That boy..." Horobi frowned as he uploaded the data and began to find new ways to improve.

*At AIMs*

Fuwa was flexing his fingers, thinking about the events at the school and with that Attache Shield. It was a useful item that he used, but a bit disappointed that Aruto didn't use the Attache Launcher. He understood why, with his change in target, but god damn it! "He had every chance." He muttered to himself.

"Angrily growling to yourself again, Fuwa?" Yaiba asked as she approached him.

"Very funny, Yaiba." He rolled his eyes.

"I thought you would've enjoyed destroying more Rogue Magia." Yaiba remarked.

"I'm more than just a one-note person." He answered.

"I know you are. You're just 'simple'. In a good way." Yua answered.

"'In a good way'? Explain."

"You fight Magia to protect people, you do your job well. You're a 'papa wolf'." Yua responded.

"...Huh. 'Papa Wolf'. Kind of works." He smirked.

"Need to get you a hoodie." She said confidently.

Fuwa let out a smirking "'Tch'." as he heard that and leaned back as he thought about that. "...That actually sounds cool."

"You're an old dork." She smirked.

Fuwa rolled his eyes at that and looked at her. "Where'd you get that Bear Key?"

"Same place I got the others." She responded seriously.

"Oh, I see." He nodded seriously. "Our Key supplier."

"Exactly." She nodded, as he began to walk off.

"You gonna ask the president on a date any time soon?" He asked casually.

"Wh-what?" Yua blinked and double took as she saw him. "What're you talking about?"

"I saw how you are around him." He answered. "And I've heard you mumbling a lot. Saying how the two of you are similar and stuff like that."

"That's none of your concern, Fuwa." She responded, humming almost angrily at him.

"Kind of is." He answered. "If you like him, you should say something."

"What would YOU know?! You're single!" She snapped in embarrassment, like speaking to her parent.

"Yeah, but I've dealt with students who were like this." He answered as he gave her cheek a teasing poke.

"Hmm..." She grumbled as she was poked. "I'm older than the students you taught."

"True. But people having crushes are still the same." He answered. "I'll be in the training area." He gave a laugh as he began to walk away "You should video call him when wearing that orange kink suit!"

"It was an experimental training costume!" She yelled with a blush "And I've refused to wear it again!"

Fuwa just continued to laugh.

...

"Asshole." She mumbled and soon began to think to herself as she imagined wearing the training suit again and Aruto seeing her in it again. "Hmmm...!" She squeaked as her ears turned red. She quickly rushed away to her office, thinking about Mr Hiden. 'Damn it all, what am I going to do?' She thought as she thought about Aruto and what happened the other day between her and Izu.

Just... Everything about the president.

He was close to her age, he was cute, he was kind, he was a good person, he was... He TRIED to be funny.

He meant well.

He... Was wonderful, honestly.

Her heart felt...less cold when she thought about him or was around him. She felt more open than she had been.

...

It was two years.

Two years between the two of them.

If she hasn't jumped ahead AS far as she did if he jumped ahead further.

"Mr Hiden...Aruto..." She whispered his name and leaned in her office chair and sighed heavily. "I've got to find a way to talk to him." Why was her heart beating so fast?

Bzzz!

She reached down and picked up her phone, seeing a message brought through.

"Huh?" She hummed, looking at it.

"Hi Yua, how are you?" The message was from Aruto.

A message that had her blushing like a schoolgirl. "When did he-? No, wait. Stupid, stupid, stupid." She shook her head. "What do I put back?" Oh, God damn it, what was wrong with her?

"Um...Err. Hi, Aruto. I'm fine. How are things at Hiden?" She responded, trying to think of the most 'generic' response.

...

"What is wrong with me?!" She huffed. "Why am I so... awkward right now?"

Bweep!

A gif of a smiley face and followed by a message. "It's busy, I won't lie. It's all busy-ness!"

"He's a dork."

She typed back at him, looking at her phone so she could keep it going. "How did you enjoy using the Key the other day?" Her thumb brushed against her phone, letting out a soft sigh...

''How did you enjoy the-'? God, I am just pathetic..' She thought to herself.

Bweep!

Aruto texted back. "It was a game-changer and lifesaver, thank you."

...

"I need to do something." She whispered.

"Let me know if there's anything I can do for you." Aruto added, giving a smiley face at the end.

...

A second later. "Within reason!"

"I don't want to be a creep!"

"Not a creep!"

One after another, Aruto seemed to be fumbling his texts with scared faces and nervous face emojis at the end.

"I'm sorry!"

...

Yaiba began to openly giggle, her hand over her lips as she has the biggest of grins on her face. 'He's such a goofball.' She thought to herself. "I'll take you up on that. Within reason of course."

... Before she had an idea.

She turned the camera on, raising it and looking at herself. "Hi, Aruto." She spoke into the camera, beginning her response as she tried to angle the phone properly, thinking for the perfect shot.

"No, wait...Um. Let's see." She sat down and looked at the phone again. "Never done this sort of thing before." She mumbled to herself.

She sat down on her chair and held her phone camera up at a sort of height and had a good angle on her. She wanted something that made her look attractive and sensual without going... Without going too far.

"This...this is good." She spoke as she took the picture. She took the picture and sent it moments later.

"I hope he likes the picture." She mumbled and hoped as she sat back.

She leaned back into her chair and rubbed her eyes as she didn't know what else to do. This was all too much for her right now.

Why did she send such an image?

It wasn't like she LIKED the president or anything.

She covered her face in embarrassment and blushed again.

*Elsewhere*

Aruto was a blushing mess, putting his phone away.

"Oh my god, oh my god, oh my god!" He muttered to himself.

Did she just send him a picture in response to his apology? And a picture like THAT?! Sure it wasn't anything scandalous, but she was certainly not upset about his miss phrasing nor his stupid rambling.

"Is this too much? What do I do? I mean...Oh boy!" He gasped in concern and looked around in his office. "Does... Does she like me?"

"President Aruto?" Izu spoke as she saw him getting flustered and muttering to himself.

"Gah! Izu!" He yelled, nearly falling out of his chair.

"You were muttering to yourself. Is everything okay?" Izu inquired.

"Yeah, yes. ahem. Things...things are okay." He nodded nervously, his heart thumping in his ears.

"Your heartbeat is accelerated." She responded.

"I'm just excited. Just a little bit. It's nothing to worry about." He reassured her. "I...Just got a message from someone."

...

"I see." She nodded with a slight frown.

"It's...the first text picture I've gotten from a different person." He admitted. "Are you okay?"

"Of course, President." She said, fluffing her hair for a moment.

He nodded and sighed in relief, looking at the picture of his grandfather on his desk and had a small smile.

...

He felt torn. But his grandfather's smile made him feel at ease. "Grandpa...what do I do?" He asked the picture and put it down respectfully.

It seemed like Yua liked him, of course. But on the other hand, he was REALLY starting to like Izu.

He felt guilty about having these two feelings towards the pair of them. His secretary and a fellow Rider...What was he supposed to do with this?

...

"I need some air." He sighed.

As he got up and walked outside, he saw his many employees, each one having a good respect for their president and the ideas they always brought to him.

"President." A familiar vice president state.

"Oh, Mr Fukuzoe. How're you? Am I late for a meeting?" Aruto asked as he turned and saw him.

"Yes. An EMERGENCY one." He stated darkly.

Aruto gulped in shock. "R-Right, I'll be right there." He nodded. "I-I wasn't informed."

"Thus the 'Emergency'!" He answered. "Now come on."

Aruto felt shame as he was 'dragged away' by his vice president, going to the meeting room for this emergency meeting. What had happened in the last few days? The Magia attacks? His work as Zero-One? ...Oh god, it wasn't the joke he told to the press last week; was it?!

"Gentlemen. Ladies." Mr Fukuzoe spoke as he opened the door as they arrived in the meeting room.

Everyone bowed to them out of respect, while Aruto sent a quick message to Izu wondering where she was...he honestly needed her here right now. "Hi everyone." He waved.

"President Aruto." They responded while Mr Fukuzoe sat down at his seat.

"President Aruto, for the past few weeks that you've been as Kamen Rider Zero-One; the rise of Rogue Magia has spiked." Mr Fukuzoe spoke. "The public is worried that HumaGears are becoming distrusted."

"I see." He mumbled.

"Our stocks have been slowly declining, though your actions in delivering HumaGear has been...positive." He continued. "But with MetsuBou JinRai's attacks, they have been damaging to not only the city but the population."

"I understand." Aruto nodded, soon Izu walked in to support him.

A screen soon popped up, showing the data over the past months. "The data here shows while popularity for Zero-One has risen, the sales and trust in the company have fallen." Mr Fukuzoe responded.

"What?" Aruto asked in shock.

"To be fair, Vice President, it's a slow decline, it hasn't just sharply dropped into a crash." A member of the board responded.

"It's still significant that needed to be said." He responded.

"Vice President," Shesta spoke up as she saw him getting a little heated, while Aruto looked disheartened and shocked.

"I didn't realise," Aruto whispered to himself.

"How do you think you'll handle these, President Hiden?" Mr Fukuzoe asked.

"I...I'm not-"

"Vice President Fukuzoe, President Aruto has been hard at work to bring the company in a positive light. Word of mouth of President Aruto's deliveries has been positive." Izu responded.

The members of the board began to talk among each other, the social media presence and positive mentions from other clients were true.

"That might still be attributed to Zero-One." Mr Fukuzoe responded. "The damages alone-"

Aruto soon stood up, his throat dry before he looked at his Vice President. "Mr Fukuzoe...I know that things look bad right now. But this company's tagline is 'Take off towards a dream'...And my dream is to see Humans and HumaGear live together in harmony."

Mr Fukuzoe and the other members of the board listened to the innocent words of Aruto, looking at him as a child speaking to adults who need a different viewpoint.

"Sometimes...sometimes things look bad in the short term, but we can make things better. We can reassure people's trust in our company we can't just have a knee-jerk reaction to things like this." Aruto continued. "I'm sure that Grandpa would have figured this out no sweat. But he chose me to be his successor...I'm going to do my best and work towards this company's future."

And with that Aruto walked away, clearly stating that the meeting was over.

Izu smiled as she walked with Aruto, seeing that she wasn't needed; even though she felt happy that he asked her to be with him in this important meeting. "President Aruto."

"PHEW! That was scary!" He exhaled, shaking nervously making her laugh quietly

...

"You laughed." He suddenly said.

"I did not." She lied smoothly.

"I...I'm sure you did. There was a titter." He pointed with a small smile.

"You're mistaken, President Aruto." She answered as she stood there, as professional and stone faced as ever.

"I...Alright. I just hope that there's-" Aruto sighed before he felt his phone vibrate. "Oh no!"

"President Aruto?"

"I've got to go, there's a Magia attack in the city! ALL over the city!" He answered, looking at his phone to see pictures sent to him.

*time skip*

CRASH!

BOOM!

Various Magia were causing destruction where they went, lead by only their own destructive tendencies.

"Hu_m4n5 W1_Ll b3 3xt_3rm_1n4t3d!" The Magia screamed angrily, attacking people and turning HumaGear into Trilobite Magia to become their army against humans.

BANG!

"You two, take the west; you two take east! I'm taking on the lizard Magia!" Fuwa ordered is AIMS agents.

"Sir!" The AIMS soldiers answered.

"Vul_c4N!" A Magia snarled, the data remembering him as Fuwa continued to fire upon them.

"Damn Magia...Are gonna be SCRAPPED!" He yelled angrily and activated his Key.

BULLET!

C-Cr-cra-CRACK!

AUTHORISE!

KAMEN! RIDER!

KAMEN RIDER!

Fuwa aimed his ShotRiser at the Magia and fired, shooting the bullet at the controlled HumaGear and transformed. "HENSHIN!"

SHOTRISE!

SHOOTING WOLF!

Fuwa ran in, firing with each step until he got in close and threw a roundhouse kick into his assault and cracked their armour with his heel.

The Magia were being forced back, their numbers seemed to swell as they turned innocent HumaGear into Trilobite Magia. Fuwa grunted and multi-kicked the Magia around him, while distracting them from the human population to help them evacuate.

The AIMs soldiers were blasting away, cutting into the metal of the Magia.

"They're numerous!" A soldier spoke out, keeping the suppression fire up.

"We've got to keep it up!" The second soldier answered, the guns continuing to hold back the Magia.

"Hu_m4n5 w1_ll b3 k1ll_3d!" The Trilobite Magia roared angrily as their bodies were being riddled with bullets.

"Not going to happen!" The soldier snapped.

Jin was observing the area, chuckling to himself as he held a Zetsumiriser and new Key in his hands. Magia running around while AIMS tried to stop them but were overwhelmed like headless chickens. The Key in his hand depicted a strange long-horned bull-like animal with the name:

AUROCH

ABILITY: ZETSUMETSU

"Now...Who's next?" He asked himself as he looked around and saw a HumaGear trying to escape. "They'll do." And flew down and landed in front of them.

"Ah!" The HumaGear screamed in fear as he saw Jin. "M-MetsuBou JinRai!"

"Correct. Here, you'll need this." Jin smirked and attached the Zetsumiriser onto their waist, passing the Key to them.

"AAA444r_Gh!" The HumaGear screamed in pain as they were forcefully connecting to MetsuBou JinRai's network. "C0nn3ct10n 35t_4bl1_5h3d."

AUROCH!

SLAM!

The HumaGear turned Magia screamed as they were covered in a potent purple DNA strand and wiring surrounding them.

Z̸̡͛E̵̗̔T̷̺̈́Ș̵̔U̶̼̐M̶͉͋Ẹ̷̄R̸͈̽I̷̘͂S̴͍̈́E̴̮͗!̴̺̓

Wires erupted and slammed scrap metal onto the Magia. They had silver scrap-iron cloven foot-like feet strapped with purple wires, a bull's head coming from its chest made from rusted brown and silver metal, purple eyes in the bull's head and visor eyes on the bald and ridged helmet. On its arms were two long riveted horns strapped into place.

"Another one?" Fuwa hissed.

"Oh, Vulcan. Careful with this one, he's angry." Jin commented as he turned around to see Fuwa in his gaze.

"I'm always angry!" Fuwa snarled.

"Not you." Jin smirked and flew off as the Auroch Magia bellowed out and rushed at Fuwa.

...

"Oh no." He gulped.

CLANG!

CRASH!

Fuwa was crushed as he was thrown by the Auroch Magia, almost flattened by its intense speed and heavy strikes. "Urgh...hits like a truck." He grunted and groaned. "Where's Yaiba?"

Yaiba was busy travelling to the site of more Magia attacking, this was getting difficult with the amount that was here. Between the Trilobite Magia and the Zetsumirised Magia there needed specific means to deal with them. So...she had picked up one of the Progrise Keys that ZAIA had created but didn't have a chance to use yet. 'Now seems like a good time to use it!' She thought to herself.

They needed all the advantages they could get.

The Pyren Magia soon leapt up and crashed down before her with the Thylacine Magia chasing after it. "Been a while you two." She frowned as she readied her ShotRiser and activated her Key.

DASH!

She immediately slotted her Key into her ShotRiser and activated it within seconds. "Henshin!"

SHOTRISE!

RUSHING CHEETAH!

The Pyren Magia leapt straight at her, using its legs to close the distance, but it wasn't as good as the Cheetah Key as she limboed under its horns and body, slashing her clawed hand into its side.

"Careful buckos, this cat has claws!" She snarled.

The Thylacine Magia snarled as its jaws seemed to snap at her, hissing while the Pyren Magia got back to its feet.

'Now...what was your thing?' She thought.

SN4P

SN4P!

"Ah, right. Big knife-like teeth." She remarked as she took her ShotRiser off her belt and fired. 'Have to find Fuwa in this mess. President...Where are you?'

VRRRM~!

"HAAAA!" Aruto's voice proclaimed as he soared through the air on his Rise Hopper motorbike overhead of the Magia and Yua, landing as graceful as a motocross driver.

He was already in his Rider Armour, scanning one of his other keys as he performed a harsh and sudden turn.

BIT-BYTERISE!

Yua's eyes widened in shock as she looked in awe at this, the digital lightning coming from the wheels as he made a doughnut and pressed his Key in his belt.

VRRR!

"Hraaargh! HAA!" Aruto proclaimed and spun on his front wheel and slammed the back-wheel into the two Magia.

The two Magia were stunned and terrified as two wheels slammed into their bodies and destroyed them.

RISING! BYTE IMPACT!

He gave a dramatic spin, skidding across the ground dramatically.

Yua looked at this in shock and, honestly feeling impressed and a little flustered by that display of amazing motorbike driving. "President..."

"Yo!" He waved and rushed past. "I'm off to find Fuwa!"

Yua nodded as she saw him leaving her in the dust, the debris flickering onto her legs as she had to turn back and evacuate people.

She needed to make it to ZAIA...

*With Fuwa*

"Urgh...Psychotic...scrap metal." He grunted, having gotten to his feet again, now in his Punching Kong form. It seemed to be more resilient against this Magia. "I'll crush you all!"

"Cru5h! Cru5h Hum_4n5!" The Auroch Magia bellowed and stomped, ready to strike at Fuwa again and crush through his armour and flatten the Rider.

"Not. Going. To happen." He aimed his ShotRiser and prepared to fire, his aim was shakey but his sight was true.

"Gu_Wr444_rgh!" The Magia bellowed and rushed at Fuwa, the Rider ready for his last attack and slammed the Key.

ZETSUMETSU NOVA!

Fuwa saw that and retaliated with his own attack, prepping the Key's activation.

POWER!

P! U! N! C! H! I! N! G! B! L! A! S! T!

"UR444_000_RGH!" The Magia roared and rushed forwards with its horned arms.

VRRR!

"Huh?" Fuwa asked in shock as he heard a motorbike.

The Auroch Magia turned as it heard the motorbike, seeing it slam into its body and disrupting it from the path as Aruto came in to save Fuwa.

"P-President?!" Fuwa called out as he had shot his attack at the Magia which connected shortly before Aruto leapt in.

"Yo wah, Fuwa!" Aruto quipped before leaping off his bike.

PROGRISE!

BITING SHARK~!

'Yo wah?' Fuwa thought in confusion. Was Aruto acting sillier than before? ...It was honestly kind of funny to him. "Hnn! Hmm! P-Pres!"

"Don't worry, I'm here to back you up." Aruto responded.

"What the hell is going on?" Fuwa snapped. "They've never attacked like this before!"

"And I've not seen that Magia before. What is it?" Aruto asked.

"Never mind the name, it's scrap!" He snapped. "Just help me destroy it!"

"Okay, okay!" Aruto nodded, getting his body into a fighting position as he and Fuwa got ready to fight against the Magia.

The two rushed forwards, Aruto giving a series of slashes while Fuwa have powerful punches.

The Magia had no counter to this, while it could try to attack Aruto it was blindsided by Fuwa's fists and if it went for the Gorilla, the Shark would strike. All it could do was raise its horned arms up and try to block the attacks, before they shattered and splintered off.

BITING IMPACT!

"HA!" Aruto called, cutting through a few dozen Magia with one slash

"4r_gh!"

BOOM!

The Magia exploded as they were slashed by Aruto's shark teeth. And Zero-One stood tall with Vulcan.

"Damn." Aruto panted.

"Pres...Where the hell were you?" Fuwa growled, turning to him, exhausted since they had to hold the lines until Aruto turned up.

"I had business back at Hiden. I had to participate." Aruto answered. "Also, Hiden is on the other side of town. I can't just teleport, Fuwa!" He commented, slashing at another Magia.

"You couldn't have taken your private jet to get here?" Fuwa snapped, shooting at a Magia.

"Oh, and waste even more time on something that doesn't exist?" Aruto answered and then paused. "Do we have a private jet?" Shaking his head, he ignored that "Even if we did, you think we have it AT the Hiden building? On the roof? That it could just take off right away? And, what, you expect me to jump out of it to join the fight?"

"Something like that!" Fuwa responded punching a Magia in the stomach.

PUNCH!

CLANG!

"You're unreasonable! I can't do that! I can't be everywhere at once!" Aruto answered, giving a leaping roundhouse kick into a Trilobite Magia's head in order to disorient and crash the larger group.

Fuwa grunted and flung another Magia away, shooting it midair and panted from exhaustion. "Having Jin still running around was a 'great idea' too."

As Aruto heard that, he turned to Fuwa and frowned. "Where is Jin? I'll go find him."

"After you gave him the Falcon Key? No chance!" Fuwa aggressively answered.

Aruto stepped up to Fuwa, his pink shark eyes contrasting against his blue gorilla ones and stared intensely. "I'm...going to fix it. And save Jin."

"He's beyond saving! He's MetsuBou JinRai! His own name is there!" He glared.

"He's different!" Aruto responded. "He was forced into being into it!"

"Excuses!" Fuwa glared ready to punch Aruto in the stomach.

"Ha, ha, ha! Guess this is what you're up to when not fighting my friends." A voice called out, distracting the pair of them.

"Jin!" Aruto called out.

"Get over here, bird boy!" Fuwa ordered as he launched his rocket fist.

Jin saw the oncoming attack, flying away from it even though it was now a bit of a homing attack.

"Your anger's gotten worse, Vulcan!" And continued to dodge until the fist crashed into the ground as Jin lifted the Auroch Magia up. "Until next time, Zero-One!"

"Wh_0044!" The Auroch Magia screamed as it was flown away as both Aruto and Vulcan were stunned, seeing Jin fly away.

"No! Jin!" Aruto called out.

As Jin flew off, kind of slower than normal due to the Auroch Magia's weight; but he flew off and away from the duo's sight.

"DAMN IT!" Fuwa yelled angrily.

Aruto's head dropped as he saw Jin leave. This day...it just kept getting worse. And it was about to get rougher as Fuwa grabbed Aruto's chest and yanked him close.

"This is all your fault! If you didn't give him that damn Key!" Fuwa snarled.

Aruto couldn't say anything. He saw Fuwa's visor and saw that he was about to either punch him in the head or gut-punch him. Either way, it was going to be a harsh beatdown.

"Fuwa!" Yaiba's voice called out as she saw the two almost get into a fight.

"Huh?" He growled, seeing her arrive and soon let Aruto go since this would be a whole scene should he continued. "Fine."

"President, are you okay?" She asked.

"Yeah. I'm. I'm alright. What about the other Magia?" He asked, still in a haze.

"Taken care of. Though we've lost visuals on Jin." Yaiba frowned.

"Not to mention that new rampaging Magia." Fuwa added. "It was like a bull or something."

"A 'bull Magia'?" Yaiba asked.

"President Aruto!" Izu called out, running to him.

"Izu? What's wrong?" Aruto asked in confusion.

"Something terrible that requires your urgent attention."

"Why? What's happened?" He asked as Izu gave a quick stare at Yua.

"Someone has sent a video showing the 'Little Assassin' HumaGear turn into the Dodo Magia to Hiden." Izu answered. "And to the news stations."

"HUH?!" The Riders gasped in shock, none more so than Yua.

"What are you talking about?!" Yua yelled, her blood running cold 'How?!' she thought in horror.

"Someone had video footage of a HumaGear that has the normal blue eyes instead of their corrupted red eyes." Izu answered.

Fuwa grabbed Izu's shoulder. "Are you saying...that uncorrupted HumaGears are doing this willingly now?"

"She's not saying that, Fuwa!" Aruto answered.

"We have to return to Hiden Intelligence, President Aruto." Izu spoke up as Aruto removed Fuwa's hand from her shoulder.

"Alright. But what about the-?"

"We'll handle the clean-up and civilians," Fuwa answered. "Our officers can handle it."

"Thank you." Aruto frowned as he saw the bike that was left to the side and pulled it up.

Izu however was looking at Yua, noting her fear and shock that the video she had was leaked...she didn't do it. She didn't have the time and the threat from Izu made it ironclad.

"Izu?" Aruto spoke as he detransformed.

"Coming, President Aruto." She nodded, going to and sat on the seat behind him, hugging his waist in order to stay close.

"I'll try and catch up next time. I'm sorry." Aruto apologised as he rode off with Izu.

Fuwa and Yaiba remained behind for a moment before they detransformed and headed to the AIMS van. "What the hell has been today? Just one thing after another. Right, Yaiba? ...Yaiba?"

"Huh? Sorry, yes. You're right." She nodded.

"Come on, we've got people to help." Fuwa brushed off her delayed response as just tiredness.

"Of course." She answered, before losing herself in thought. 'How did the video leak? It wasn't supposed to be like this. I didn't send it!'

*In Hiden Intelligence*

It was a growing madhouse, the video that had leaked into the news and they had to do something to settle the matter.

"Who sent this? I demand to know who sent this video!" Mr Fukuzoe ordered.

The PR department was looking over this and saw that it had been done anonymously and through different areas. It was tough to track down.

"Mr Fukuzoe!" Aruto called out as he and Izu arrived.

"Look at this! This is going to ruin the company!" He pointed at the video on his tablet.

"Mr-Mr Fukuzoe. I was told about this-"

"Oh, were you? Brilliant! Then obviously you have a plan to do something about it?" He snapped.

"I've-I'm..." Aruto frowned.

"Vice-President Fukuzoe, President Aruto has only just arrived and has been fighting the Magia attack from before. We shall provide you with answers to the situation momentarily, but we must have time to collect our thoughts and yelling isn't helping anyone." Izu intervened.

Mr Fukuzoe growled as he heard that, being put into place by the secretary of the President like she was less important than him.

"Thank you, Izu." Aruto whispered as he felt his hands shaking because of that. "I don't think I can think right now."

"It's alright, President Aruto. We will figure something out." She reassured him as her hands brushed his arm. Aruto had to admit, that small touch soothed his nerves more than he imagined.

"Thank you, Izu." Aruto responded as he approached his office and was calming down. "Izu...I know this might be a misuse of her power, but do you think Zea could-?"

"Help locate the source of the video? I believe so, Sir." She nodded. "And no, it is not a misuse of Zea's power." Izu added. "...Did you say 'her'?"

"Yeah, Zea's almost as old as I am...And Grandpa designed her...So, she's family." Aruto answered with a smile, looking to the sky "She's like a sister or aunt or something. More important to Hiden than even the president. I don't want to misuse her or her trust."

Izu saw the smile and registered it, her headphones glowing blue as she heard him. "I'm sure that she understands."

"Thank you." He nodded.

...

And he sighed. "I need to see the video."

"Of course, Sir. I will bring it up." Izu answered as she did so, showing the footage before him.

"Jeez..." Aruto sighed and rubbed his mouth as he saw this. "Wait...Play-play it again, please." He asked.

...

"That's the Assassin. Dodo..." Aruto frowned.

"It is a shock to see the same Magia appear many times before." Izu commented.

"Do...do we have copies of HumaGear?" He asked. "Like, HumaGear that are designed like twins or something?"

"On occasion." She nodded "Do you think this may be a plot by Metsubou Jinrai to discredit you?"

"I don't know. It seems like it. But 'why?' is the question. What do they gain? Jin and Horobi said something about 'Ark'...But I don't know." Aruto admitted.

"To slow you down with the company, and keep you out of their operations?" She offered a suggestion. Yua Yaiba's body language read that she had no knowledge of the footage.

"All good ideas. But who filmed this? It's not. You know? Shaking?" Aruto added, seeing the video over and over as it kept at a steady position, almost like it was done by camera. "I suppose a HumaGear's eye-cams could be focused enough, but it's not in the right quality either." He muttered, running his hands through his hair "Damn it. Who filmed it doesn't matter." Those words shocked Izu.

"It doesn't?" Izu questioned.

"No. What needs to happen is that I take responsibility. The longer we leave this, the worse it will get." Aruto answered. "This Metsubou Jinrai situation, the Magia problem, it has been going on for too long. And we need an answer."

"Of course, Sir. We will get to the bottom of this." Izu answered.

*With Yaiba*

Yua's stomach was like a Gordian Knot, twisted up with no way to untangle it. She knew who had sent that video...and she was going to get straight to it.

She had driven to ZAIA Enterprise and approached Gai Amatsu's office.

SLAM!

"How dare you." Yua glared, seeing Gai sipping a cup of tea patiently and smugly.

"Ah, Yaiba. You didn't have to slam my doors." Gai commented.

"You hacked my phone! You leaked private footage!" Yaiba pulled her phone out.

"Really? What proof do you have? That's a standard-issue ZAIA produced phone; any HumaGear could've hacked it, we must do something about that." Gai dismissed it.

"Don't play dumb! It was you! You leaked the footage! This is a breach of confidence and privacy!" Yua responded.

Gai gently put his tea down and looked at her and the phone. "Is it? You were the one who recorded it. You were the one with the intent to send it off."

"Wh-what're you-?" Yua asked.

"Tell me, Yaiba; how much are you willing to recover from this should it be taken to court? A day? A week at most? The procedures will drain your accounts within seconds just for the lawyer alone." Gai responded. "And the slander, oh...claiming that I would do such a thing." Gai feigned being wounded. "What about you? The head of AIMS? Stooping so low to record something. Your reputation will be lost. Blacklisted everywhere. ZAIA however, just a simple misunderstanding for the waste of time."

Yaiba's heart immediately sank as she heard that. She was caught, compared to ZAIA's wealth, hers was a single drop in a bucket. Their Public Relations team were professionals and could claim this was a jealous employee, only looking to make some money.

"Now, Ms Yaiba...Is there something you wanted to say?" Gai asked with a slimy grin.

...

"No sir." She mumbled.

"Good. Now how has that training attire been functioning? I have yet to get a report back about it."

"It has been...working fine, sir. I need a few more days before making a full report." Yua answered as she looked away.

"You sure?" He hummed "Because, from our workers, you haven't been getting any feedback from the suit. Meaning either you haven't been wearing it, or it isn't working."

Yua gulped as she knew that they were good at their job. And she knew she couldn't get around this. She would have to wear the suit just to keep them happy. The workers and Amatsu. "I am sorry sir. I wore underwear underneath." She grumbled "Which may have caused errors in the readings."

"Ah, I see. That would cause disruptions in the readings." Gai nodded. "Well then. You'll just have to wear only the training suit under your clothes. Certainly, you can do that; right?"

"... Yes sir." She mumbled in shame and defeat.

"Good. Now, you're going to go find Jin and that Magia. Aren't you?" He asked.

"Yes, sir." She responded, feeling the pressure of Gai's words forcing her head down.

"And you're going to get that Key from them so we can study it; right?" Gai continued.

"Yes, sir." She repeated.

"And...the training armour?" He raised his eyebrow.

"I will...wear it." She frowned.

"Excellent. You're dismissed." He confidently sat down and returned to his tea.

"Th-thank you, Sir." She frowned, her tail between her legs as she left the room and left.

"Ah~." Gai sighed as he took a sip of his tea.

*Elsewhere*

"What do I say?" Aruto mumbled as he walked along the halls of Hiden. Thinking about more than just the blue light situation.

Then there was Fuwa. With his intensity and breathing down his neck about HumaGear being a problem. It felt like what the company did was all for nought.

The two's opinions were so different, and at the same time the situation regarding all this chaos was so big...

Something had to happen, and Aruto didn't know what that should be.

"President?" Mamoru asked, as Aruto had neared the entrance.

"Huh? Oh, Mamoru. Sorry, I was lost in thought." Aruto apologised.

"Is it to do with the video?" Mamoru asked, making Aruto's eyes widen in shock. "Please do not be surprised or concerned. I have seen and heard members of the offices worry about it all day."

"Aren't you concerned about it?" Aruto asked.

"Yes. But as a security guard, it would not help the workers here if *I* become distressed and could not focus on my job." Mamoru answered.

"I see, thank you." Aruto answered with a reassured and thankful smile.

Beep, beep

"Sorry, that's me." Aruto apologised and looked at his phone, which just had a message arrive.

President Hiden, you are needed in the Meeting Room immediately

"Oh jeez." Aruto sighed and looked behind him back to the building. "I've got to go. Thank you, Mamoru."

"Of course." He nodded

Aruto took a deep breath before he rushed up, hurrying. What could be going on now?

SLAM!

"Sorry I'm la-" Aruto started, only to freeze as he saw the near-empty boardroom.

"President Aruto." Shesta bowed.

"Shesta? Where is-?" Aruto asked.

"Forgive my subterfuge, but I had to see you alone." Shesta apologised and bowed to him. "I had to make sure that we were alone."

"Alone?" Aruto asked... Before he blushed, remembering a few... 'videos' he had seen with this premise and those words. What was wrong with him recently?!

"Yes. It is about the Vice-president." She responded "While I am designated as HIS secretary and aid, because of my position in the company there are several other priorities which are equal to or greater than that position. One of which is the safety of this company."

"I-I see." He gulped, his knees shaking a little as he leant on the table, so he didn't fall over.

"Yes. His constant pressure on you is not in the company's interest. He believes he is testing you, and I believe he is hoping the pressure will make you step down so he may be promoted." She explained "Instead of working with you, he is pushing you towards a cliff. But by doing so, with the current situation, by the time he might FINALLY take control... The company would be too damaged to recover. Or the stress causes your death, because of a missed judgement in battle of exhaustion. And that will hurt the company even more, as well as be a tragedy the company will never recover from."

"A tragedy?" Aruto asked.

"Yes." She nodded "While Vice President Fukuzoe is an amazing businessman, and while you are still 'green' as they say... From my observation, I do believe you are the best person for the position as president of Hidden Intelligence."

Aruto looked at Shesta and couldn't believe it. He didn't realise. "Shesta...thank you." How much had Shesta helped him?

"Of course, Sir." She responded as she found her processors acting... Strange as she looked at him.

"What? What should I do? In your opinion, what can I do?" He asked for her advice.

"Sometimes to finish a fight, to end a problem... You must face it head in and force its conclusion." Shesta suggested.

"I see." Aruto nodded as he heard that. "Meaning..." He whispered to himself and then realised something. "I know what I have to do." He rushed forwards and gave her a hug.

Shesta's eyes widened as she was hugged by Aruto, though it was not...unwelcome. "Th-thank you, Sir."

"I'll be back soon I need to deal with this nonsense!"

"Of course." She nodded and let him go, seeing the spring in his step as he rushed out of the room.

She found a small smile spreading across her face... And then felt the shock of that action.

Why? Why had she done that?

What was the President making her feel?

Aruto walked through the corridors of the company, going to his office to get ready for a speech that he had to make. "Izu, book a conference for tonight!" Aruto called as he pulled out his RisePhone, dialling a number quickly.

"President Aruto?" She asked, although she bowed and started what he requested.

"It's me." Aruto spoke as the person on the other end of the line picked up.

*Time skip*

"What is all this about?" Fuwa grumbled as he had his hands in his coat pockets, walking into a damaged dockyard... Where Aruto was waiting.

A cold wind filled the air, blowing around the two of them.

"I know you are angry at me, and distrust me, Mr Fuwa." Aruto responded as he raised his arm, holding the ZeroOne Driver "For trusting Jin, giving him the Flying Falcon key, and then losing him. For not having immediate answers."

"Of course, I am! Do you know how stupid this all is?!" He snapped.

"Which is why..." Aruto sighed.

ZERO-ONE DRIVER!

"Huh?" Fuwa blinked as he saw Aruto equip the belt.

"I want to fight you." Aruto responded.

"Are you serious?" Fuwa asked as he saw Aruto. "What am I saying?"

SHOTRISER!

"I've been waiting for this!" He growled.

"You sound too enthusiastic." Aruto commented.

JUMP!

BULLET!

Aruto gripped his Progrise Key, his hand quaking a bit before he lowered it to his belt.

Fuwa ripped now key open, slamming it into his own.

AUTHORISE!

Aruto and Fuwa born readied themselves, rushing towards each other with a mighty roar.

Their fists collided, pushing against one another.

RISING HOPPER!

SHOOTING WOLF!

CLASH!

"HRARGH!" Fuwa roared and grunted, pushing Aruto back as the President fought back with all his might.

Aruto grunted as his feet dug into the ground, pushing him back until he got his footing.

Shine!

"Huh?" Fuwa grunted as Aruto's leg seemed to quickly get the outline of a mechanical leg as he pushed back and struck Fuwa with a jump-pressured punch.

Aruto's sudden burst of speed from the jump rocketed him up and away from Fuwa, flipping forwards before landing on his feet, sending a kick into Fuwa's back.

"Gargh! Hnn!" Fuwa growled as he pushed forwards and attacked, getting a couple of hits right in Aruto's chest.

Aruto was forced back, rolling to the ground but pushed himself up as he used the momentum of the roll to get back to his feet. He was panting as he saw Fuwa stand there.

"Come on, Pres! That can't be all you've got! Where's the actual fight?" Fuwa demanded.

FWOOSH~!

A powerful knee slammed against his jaw.

"ARGH!" Fuwa screamed as he was kicked by Aruto's knee, sent into the air as he tried to steady himself from the hit.

"Behind you!" Aruto called, delivering a kick to Fuwa from behind.

Fuwa was immediately forced forwards and roll to the ground, grunting in pain as he couldn't do much against Aruto's jump and speed. He was the heavy-hitting fighter type. 'Heh...heh-heh...Finally.' He thought as he got back to his feet. "You're taking this seriously." As he grabbed his ShotRiser and aimed it as a gun only to see a rush of yellow energy.

"HA!" Aruto called, giving a harsh chop to Fuwa's arm. He was quickly disarmed by the attack, followed up by a harsh elbow to the chest.

Fuwa grunted as he was knocked back but retaliated with a sudden and harsh punch to the jaw.

Fuwa grunted as he was winded and in pain. Aruto seemed to be learning quicker than a normal person. Was this because of his Driver?

Or was it his natural skill?

One thing he had to admit... He was enjoying this!

Jumping forwards, Fuwa dodged another strike. Rolling across the ground he grabbed the ShotRiser, and opened fire.

Aruto's eyes widened as he was fired upon, the shots hitting his back and legs. "ARGH!"

Crash!

"Gotcha! Come on, Pres. You can't be down just from that!" Fuwa called out.

FIRE!

"Far from it!" He smirked "But it's time I fight firepower with fire!"

PROGRISE!

Outside an AIMS van came to a stop, Yua and Izu emerging.

"You sure this is where they agreed to meet?" Yaiba asked.

"Yes, I am certain." Izu nodded as a beam of red light came down and landed with a crash as a tiger's roar could be heard.

"The hell? Are there Magia?" Yua asked in shock.

"Oh no..." Izu mumbled.

The two of them ran towards the sound of the Tiger's roar, it was a worry that they had no idea what was going on.

FLAMING TIGER~!

"HAAA!" Aruto called out, shooting flames at Fuwa as his fireballs and Fuwa's bullets collided in the air.

Izu and Yua saw this and were stunned. What had happened here? Why were they fighting? "Wh-what the hell?" Yua whispered.

"President Aruto." Izu questioned all of this.

"Guys! Knock it off!"

BULLET!

"Haaaaaa~!" Fuwa called as he took aim, his gun gaining a large aura of power.

Shing~!

"Hmmmm!" Aruto hummed as he crouched, having slammed his Key. Fire began to gather around his hands, forming a large orb of energy between his hands.

B! U! L! L! E! T! S! H! O! O! T! I! N! G! B! L! A! S! T!

"HA!" both roared, Fuwa pulling the trigger of his gun while Aruto unleashed his full fiery might.

FLAMING IMPACT!

BULLET SHOOTING BLAST!

Both of their attacks shot out and collided, causing a large explosion that knocked both Aruto and Fuwa out of their transformations and rolled onto the ground, their Drivers out of their reach.

Izu quickly rushed to Aruto's side, Yaiba going to Fuwa's when she saw that.

"President Aruto! Are you alright?" She asked in a panic, trying to be careful as she lifted him.

"You bloody fool, Fuwa. What were you thinking?" Yua asked.

"...Prez." Fuwa called out as he looked at him as he leaned up.

Aruto was helped up as he saw Fuwa and panted as he was held by Izu. "Yes?"

"Heh." Fuwa gave a small nod and a thumbs up. "You did good."

"You to." He laughed, returning the act.

"President Aruto. May I ask you something?" Izu asked.

"Of course, Izu." He responded as both he and Fuwa got up.

"What were you thinking?" She asked. "You could have been seriously hurt!"

"Yes! What was the point of all this?" Yua asked Fuwa in agreement and gave him a small slap "You absolute idiot! No, idiots! Both of you!"

"Ow! Blame the Prez!" Fuwa grunted.

"It was your fault? What were you trying to accomplish?" Yua asked.

"We needed to settle this." Aruto commented. "Clear the air."

"By 'clearing the air' you mean to fight other Riders?" Izu asked.

"Sometimes it's the best way to get to really know your partners." Fuwa answered.

"As well as to work out anger." Aruto added.

"Well, fighting does seem the only way Fuwa deals with his anger." Yua smirked.

"Ye-hey!" Fuwa snapped making her smirk.

"Ha! Nice one!" Aruto laughed.

"President Aruto, did this give you any clarity?" Izu asked.

"Yeah, it did." He nodded. "And...I think I know what to do at the company."

BOOM!

"Knock, knock. Sorry if we're interrupting anything." Jin's voice spoke out.

"Jin!" Fuwa's kinder voice turned harsh.

"Izu, get back." Aruto spoke.

"But you are-" Izu responded.

"I'm alright. It's just a scratch." He answered, trying to keep his heartbeat slow.

"Hum4n5! Ext3rm1n4t3!" The Auroch Magia bellowed.

"Fuwa... Let's do this." Aruto commented, standing tall.

"Right." He smirked, slotting the ShotRiser onto its holster.

"I'll take on Jin." Yua commented... Before holding out a new Key to Fuwa "Here."

"A new key?" He blinked.

Yua didn't respond and rushed forwards, being surrounded by gold light.

LIGHTNING HORNET!

In Fuwa's hand was a purple key with the words 'Trapping Spider' atop it, the Ability being listed as 'Territory'.

"Hehe... Interesting." He laughed.

"Let's do this, Fuwa!" Aruto called.

"Prez, wait. Use this." Fuwa ordered, throwing a key at him.

"Wow!" Aruto yelled, grabbing... The Shooting Wolf key "Huh?! Really?!"

"Just don't lose it." He scoffed, gripping his new key.

"... Right." Aruto smiled, hitting the button on his borrowed key.

BULLET!

Fuwa gripped the purple key, grunting as he gripped it "This Magia... Will be scrapped!" He roared, ripping it open.

TERRITORY!

"Hum4n5! Ext3rmin4t3!" The Auroch Magia roared as it rushed forwards, towards the two.

Aruto lowered his hand, scanning the Shooting Wolf Key, as Fuwa slammed his new key into his belt.

AUTHORISE!

Suddenly a yellow and blue light rushed from the sky. The Hopper and Wolf Ride Modules form in front of the two, blocking the Magia.

Kamen Rider~!

With their belts overlapping, Aruto brought his arms around in their normal circle while Fuwa ripped his gun from its buckle holster.

Moving as one, Aruto flicked the Key open, as the Wolf Ride Module slashed at the Magia and the Hopper one bounced on if.

"HENSHIN!" The two roared together, Aruto slotting his borrowed Key as Fuwa pulled the trigger.

PROGRISE!

SHOTRISE!

Both Hopper and Wolf jumped and rushed at Aruto as they digitized over his body, while the bullet from Fuwa's ShotRiser flew around and struck the Magia.

UCHI MAKUMAKURI STAY!

SHOOTING WOLF!

The Elevation Increases As The Bullet Is Fired.

Aruto's main black bodysuit shifted around as the Rising Hopper armour moved about to accommodate the Wolf armour. The yellow armour was on the outside of his ankles and legs, yellow bracer guards and outer chest guards. The Wolf's blue armour became claw-like feet, tuft-fur on his shoulders for protection, blue spike-like armour on his chest and finally a wolf-like mask in his face with the ears acting as his antennae.

"HRARGH!" Fuwa reached and front slapped the Trapping Spider bullet as it digitized over his body.

TRAPPING SPIDER!

No One Can Escape Its Web

Forming over Isamu's grey bodysuit and white armoured body were purple spider-limbs that covered his legs like protruding shin and thigh guards, purple spider-limbs that covered his chest and only showed off his grey armour covered arms, a spider thorax on his chest and a spider head covering his mask.

"A new form?" Jin asked in shock. "You're using his Key, Zero-One?"

"Yeah. We thought we'd mix it up." Aruto answered.

Click!

"MetsuBou JinRai...I'm going to break you!" Fuwa growled as he aimed his ShotRiser at the Auroch Magia.

"Try it!" Jin proclaimed as he took to the air as Yua followed suit.

"Hum4n5! Ext3rm1n4t3!" The Auroch Magia bellowed and rushed at Fuwa, ignoring the change of his appearance and rushed like a bull in a China shop.

BANG!

Shooting out of Fuwa's ShotRiser were his bullets but as they opened, they turned into nets!

"What?!"

As the Auroch Magia ran through the nets, its speed became reduced, allowing Fuwa to dodge out of the way and get a solid hit on the Magia.

"How is that possible?" Jin asked before he was struck by Yaiba. "Argh!"

"Eyes on me, Jin!" Yua warned him as she kicked and punched him.

"Dang it, Valkyrie!" He grunted angrily and looked at her throwing a flying punch in her face.

"Hold on, Fuwa!" Aruto called out rushing at the Auroch Magia. His blue armour opened slightly, a barrage of bullets being unleashed.

"That never did it for me!" Fuwa blinked in shock as he saw that.

BANG!

The Auroch Magia grunted and shouted as it was pelted with bullets, its metal body sparking and breaking off its body. "Hum4n5!"

"It's not going down that easy, Fuwa." Aruto spoke as he saw it almost explode on the ground.

"We've got another shot at it." Fuwa answered as he jumped high, webs emerging from his back. "Oh, okay! I can work with this!" He realised and shot them out.

The Magia grunted as the webbing began to pin it down, sticking its horned arms to its sides and its legs to the ground.

"Talk about a sticky situation." Aruto quipped.

"J-Just attack the damn thing!" Fuwa grunted and snapped.

BOOM!

"How about some fresh air?" Yua asked as she unleashed her wasp swarm to force Jin higher into the sky.

"Nope! Not getting stung!" He called out. "Can you even handle this altitude?"

"Can you?" She responded.

"What do you-?" He asked as she readied her ShotRiser and pressed the Key's button.

THUNDER!

Electricity sparked through Yua's ShotRiser and her armour, aiming right at Jin as her wings seemed to generate the electricity, or at least give her some much-needed boosts.

L! I! G! H! T! N! I! N! G! B! L! A! S! T!

"Oh no!" Jin panicked as he saw a swarm of Lightning Hornets shooting out at him.

"HA!" she roared.

An eruption of electricity shot out of her ShotRiser, a pulsing blast of hornet-shaped power surged forwards and aimed for the MetsuBou JinRai member as it connected and shot through his body.

"GAAAAAHHHH!"

LIGHTNING! BLAST!

Electricity sparked in the clouds as Jin was falling into the pavement below.

"Time to end this!" Aruto spoke as he pushed the Shooting Wolf Key in his belt while Fuwa activated the Spider Key in his ShotRiser.

TERRITORY!

"Good!" Fuwa agreed and aimed his ShotRiser at the Auroch Magia. "HRAAAARGH!"

T! E! R! R! I! T! O! R! Y! B! L! A! S! T!

"HAA!" Fuwa pulled the trigger and shot out a large spider which leapt and bound the Magia in place while its legs struck through its body.

"HAA!" Aruto shot out his barrage of bullets which gave the outline of a wolf's head.

SHOOTING! IMPACT!

TERRITORY! BLAST!

"Ext3rm1n4t3!" The Magia screamed as it exploded, shooting out and scattering to the floor.

KABOOM!

Jin screamed as he was barrelling down and crashed into the pavement, his Rider self still sparking as he could just hold on from that attack. "H-Hnn. Where's. The Key?" He strained as Yua flew down and picked it up.

"You mean this one?" She smirked as she waved it in her hand and away from Jin.

"GIVE THAT BACK!" he snapped.

CLICK!

"You're not getting it." Fuwa aimed his ShotRiser at Jin's head.

"Jin, please. Stand down." Aruto asked, trying to reach out to him.

"...Sorry, Zero-One." He frowned and struck forwards, getting shot before escaping. "Ow! Ow! Owow!"

"Jin!" Aruto called out as Jin flew off, his wings getting clipped by the shots and webbing.

"Damn it! Why didn't you-?" Fuwa glared before Yua stopped him.

"Enough, Fuwa." She warned him. "We've got another Key from MetsuBou JinRai and stopped another attack. We've won this time."

...

"You're right."

Aruto closed his Driver and passed the Shooting Wolf Key back to him. "Here, before I forget."

"...Thanks, Prez." He responded, taking it. "...This one's ours, right?" He gestured to the Spider Key.

Yua sighed as she detransformed and rolled her eyes. "Yes, that one's ours."

"Good." He smirked.

"Your keys are really impressive, Yua." Aruto praised.

"Thank you. They came from our smart...our scientists." Yua spoke before halting herself.

...

"Are you okay?" Aruto asked.

"I'm fine. What about you? Was this really a good idea fighting my partner?" Yua asked.

"We had to clear the air, Yua." Fuwa responded, pocketing the Keys and crossed his arms.

"Yeah. It helped me." He nodded... Before letting out a small sigh "Damn it. I still need to explain this stupid Dodo situation."

"That damn dead bird's more trouble than it's worth." Fuwa growled.

"The LED's?" She asked.

"What?" Fuwa asked.

"The LED's. The lights on the headset." Yua responded.

"That's it! Thank you!" Aruto smiled as his eyes sparkled, quickly realising what she meant. He rushed forwards, hugging Yua tightly. "I owe you one!" He answered. "Izu, we've got to get back to Hiden!"

"Of course, President Aruto." She nodded, her lips straining a little before she spoke.

She sent a small glare at Yaiba, before following Aruto away from the dockyard.

"...The hell is he thinking now?" Fuwa pondered as Yua gulped nervously as the start of a small blush crept on her cheeks.

'Calm down Yaiba.' she told herself, holding back a smile 'He's just... Oh, Kami. I am deep in this.'

*Time skip*

We arrive at Hidden Intelligence, on the bottom floor. It was a conference hall, filled with reporters.

"Are you ready, President Aruto?" Izu asked as she was with him in the corridor to the hall.

"Yes, I am." He nodded, wearing his best suit and tie. He opened the door with unmatched and shocking confidence. Flashes from cameras caught his eyes as he was now on the stage, as he reached the podium he took in a deep breath and looked out. "Good day, everyone." He spoke into the microphones. "From what many of you know, there is a video circulating around of a HumaGear that transformed into a Magia of its own will." Aruto opened with that. "From what we can tell, the video is genuine-"

Click, flash, click, flash, click, flash!

"However, there is something I wish to bring up. The LED lights of the HumaGear were set to blue." Aruto explained.

"Yeah, what's with that!" One reported yelled.

"Yeah, yeah! Why is that?" More reporters barked up.

"Please, please. Let me explain. Originally, HumaGears were meant to be synched up to a different satellite. Their original colour was meant to be Red to indicate that it was synched to that network. But all HumaGear currently are connected to Zea and are registered Blue. It would be easy for someone to hack into a HumaGear and just change the display to stay Blue if they are hacked." Aruto explained, trying to calm the reporters. "The reason for the red colour in the past is because the old satellite was less advanced, same with the HumaGear. So, there may be moments where the HumaGear froze as it was looking something up or receiving an update. The red colour being a simple way to tell people when a HumaGear was 'unavailable'. We never removed the LED feature; my grandfather could be nostalgic and head strong about that sort of stuff."

The reporters recorded this or wrote it down, this was going to be front newsworthy.

It was incredible.

"I'll be happy to answer any further questions that you have." Aruto continued as he stood head first into the lion's den.

The reporters stood up and started to ask Aruto questions, all the while Izu stood to the side and was proud of him for taking the plunge. Though this might salvage some of the company's reputation, it was more of clearing the air and protecting the people.

Though one question remained on her mind...who did send the video?
