"You!"

The breeze caused the hood of the mysterious individual to fall off, revealing spiky black hair and luminous sapphire orbs staring at the crowd of thugs with a look that could be best be interpreted as a combination of boredom and absolute disgust.

"That person died a long time ago. Call me…Kamen Rider Kakugo,"

Before they could draw for their pistols and open fire, the boy had gotten into a odd pose and yelled out 'HENSHIN', causing him to be engulfed in a bright light. By the time the Taimanin and the Gremory peerage had arrived on the scene, the so called 'dangerous vigilante' was ripping apart the terrified mobsters with its enhanced strength and the various weapons possessed by the semi sentient combat suit.

They were shocked and somewhat disgusted at the gory scene, but had no time to express their feelings on the matter as the criminals noticed them and started firing in their direction.

Hideyoshi was the first to recover from this unwanted surprise, activating [Boosted Gear] in {Twice Critical} mode and smashing his armored fist into the unguarded stomach of a unwary thug. The man was sent flying into his fellow criminals with the force of a speeding car, causing a pile of tangled limbs and bodies that greatly reduced the work of the magi and the anti-arcane shinobi. He then proceeded to charge up a miniature Dragon Shot and blasted it in sphere form towards a few mercs operating a gatling gun and some technicals, the resulting explosion was enough to annihilate a few brigades of goons that were heading in their direction.

Huff…huff….damn, that really took a lot out of me. The power of the Red Dragon Empress is really something to be feared….I wonder if this so called terrorist is the one whom holds Ddraig's rival. It would explain a lot of things and would help us out a lot later on…hold on a minuite….is that Rin? That can't be….she's supposed to be dead. And Saeko-kun…I mean Busijima-sama….why are they dressed in such erotic and lecherous attire?

Meanwhile, the two girls were already on the move, beating down mafia soldiers left and right with their martial arts skills and respective schools of swordsmanship. Despite their supposed 'rivalry' their synchronization was actually pretty good and even 'Koneko' stopped her barrage with Ichībaru to sneak an envious look at them. That small second almost cost her the battle, thankfully a quickly thrown shuriken was enough to prevent a tragedy.

Rei had jumped into the battle a few seconds after Issei and was wrecking enemies left and right with Gungir. It was clear the supposed relic fitted her combat style perfectly, as she was able to use the spear to block the barrage of bullets coming her way while delivering powerful punches with its burst function.

As for the rest, they helped do their part in cleaning up the criminal element, their abilities being unconsciously augmented by a certain Hyoudou's Sacred Gear. 'Medaka's Power of Destruction and Akeno's lightning manipulation powers basically wiped out the enemy's ground and air support with Kiba's Sword Birth basically draining infantry from the mobsters. Asuna's wind powers basically mopped up what was left and by the time the smoke cleared, the remaining gangsters were basically breaking world records in long distance running.

The unlikely alliance would have given chase, had it not been for the (audible to them) sounds of begging and pleading, before a short shriek and the loud boom of a cannon echoing through the abandoned lot.

With the temporary threat dealt with and arrival of law enforcement personnel and other interlopers imminent, they rushed to the scene, only to find an ace of spades near three dead bodies and the roar of a motorcycle in action.

'Rin' nearly suppressed her near instinctual urge to expel the contents of her last meal all over the place in favor of taking a closer look at what seemed to be the heavy hitter of the d….l peerage. To a normal human, this would have been near impossible to do but the Taimannin were basically yokai, and so were in possession of natural talents that were diminished in ordinary people.

He hadn't really said much and was probably trying to conceal his identity by wearing that ridiculous trenchcoat over his clothes, but she was 100% sure that person was either the son or some other close relative of that man….it made her head hurt thinking about it. The Anti-Wizardcraft Nin weren't too particular in their choice of targets, but as the covert action arm of the yokai embedded within the Japanese government they normally kept tabs on individuals who might pose a threat in the future.

The 'Stealer of Crowns' was by now the undisputed leader of the criminal underworld and was said to have created an organization of powerful individuals for the sole purpose of avenging his defeat by the prominent Hero, All Might. His exact whereabouts were unknown and his main motive, apart from seizing the power taken from him by the MLA's rebellion some years back, remained unknown.

In fact, the main reason why the bosses of Section 3 had deployed them to this location, was to investigate and bring back regular reports into the rumor that the formerly respected and well-liked member of the Hero Clan had semi-retired from his life of villainy, handing over the shadier parts of the whole affair to pre-picked successors while maintaining control over the more respectable parts of the operation.

She knew that her mother's disappearance was more complicated than a simple missing persons case.

The thought of that man doing unmentionable things to her poor mother…caused her to almost miss the urgent voice of her main rival in her quest to prove her self.

"Hey Mi-chan, what's wrong? You feeling sick or something? Come on, hurry up! You know that we aren't supposed to be around here, much less be hanging out with d….ls,"

"No….but I think I might have found someone close to me,"

Rinko/'Saeko' shook her head while staring at her somewhat rival in confusion. She knew that 'Yukikaze' could be somewhat impulsive and lacking in self-awareness. But she never expected the girl to have a crush on a dragon….and a powerful one to make things worse.

"I wouldn't expect the infamous Black Sweeper and former pilot of the infamous EVA battle units to be a simple high school student whose main interest is in being a voyeur of the bodies of nude young ladies. The rumors and video footage suggested somebody more….how do I put it dangerous and fanatically dedicated to his goal,"

"Don't push it G-man. The only reason why I was so brutal in Tokyo-3 was because of the Players and the fact the buddies of the jackass who claimed to be my old man wanted to collect the interest on their investment. Since I have absolutely no relation to that self-absorbed and delusional idiot of a fed, it became a choice between whether to send a strongly worded warning or to get the message across physically. But the idiots just had to push my buttons."

The young man took the cigarette out of his mouth, exhaling a small cloud of tobacco exhaust before rubbing his eyes and putting a hand over his mouth. His companion took a backwards glance at him with a look of concern in his eyes, before turning towards the sky.

"Don't know if they got the message but I haven't heard anything from them, or anymore 'mystery murders' in Tokyo-3 since the whole fuck up at Amagi headquarters. That was a disaster and a half….it makes you wonder what really goes on the world at times. Although the whole supernatural and dark fantasy theme they'd got going in that one dungeon was pretty cool, though. Not gonna lie about that.

By the way, I forgot to ask you something. While I was clearing out one particular Player den I realized that the floor boss kept on referring to himself as a i….s king or something like that. Guy even had the powers to back it up, too bad he didn't last for more than 30 minutes. Also the dude had a bunch of sex slaves kept tied up in the dungeon, and that is so not my thing man.

Fucker kept on calling me Taimanin and how I was 'a traitor to d…..lkind', but since I don't really don't really believe in that bull, I simply destroyed him with a AT blast and freed all the slaves. I haven't really heard anything from the Players since…I was wondering why this was so,"

The older man nearly dropped his pen at this. It was a seemingly undecipherable mystery in the shinobi world, the disappearance of the infamous Incubus King and several other major unaligned d….s that were causing trouble in the human world. And this little brat, fresh into high school claims he was the one to not only kill, but utterly annihilate them because he was bored? This couldn't be real.

"I decided to come here to get a break from it all, but it seems like hebi-teme has big dreams and will stop at nothing to accomplish them. I've been wiping out Player cells left and right and even beat the absolute crap out of some idiots calling themselves 'dark shinobi' right before hitting up a dungeon that seems to be a hotbed of player activity.

But it's obvious now. I can't do it alone and the local police are woefully underprepared for a situation like this. You guys must have some special division that deals with things like this, right? What I want is simple: you stay away from my business and I stay away from yours."

Mashino Kiriya had only one thought in his head, 'I'm too old for this s…t'.

(Cafeteria)

Meanwhile, one Hideyoshi Zenkichi/'Hyoudou Issei' was wondering if he was going insane or simply not observing enough of the world around him.

He had been able to evade the strange girl who seemed like his long dead younger sister, but she was constantly on his tail, almost as if she was searching for something. It was starting to get creepy, and he was honestly wondering on whether to call her out and get the police involved in this.

[For a man who claims to be a 'harem king' and proclaims his love for women's breasts, you're really shy. Are you sure you aren't the king of prudishness instead?]

Just shut the hell up Ddraig. I knew it, she was the one who was checking me out at that time. Though I'm not a unreasonable man when it comes on to women showing off their bodies, their clothing choice was a little bit too…daring for my taste. Seriously…what were they doing? Seducing villains and then killing them or something?

[You know, if you had been simply honest with yourself and gotten an actual occupation instead of this really, really bad extra role as the 'class clown' and 'irredeemable pervert' that you've got going right now, you'd be pretty loaded right now. But noo, you just have to pretend to be this wannabe nerd and chick magnet because you're afraid of being who you really are. ]

What the hell are you talking about? Having a breast fetish isn't exactly a sign of good mental health and I doubt any woman will even want a guy who can't even talk properly! And I'm sure you remember what happened the last time I got close to someone….

[Come on Hachi-kun, you know those tricks won't work on me. That little scheme of yours might be good enough to fool ordinary humans and even those yokai and d…..l girls that follow you around all the time, but I'm not called the Red Dragon of Domination for no good reason, you know.

You have to stop ogling titties from afar and start moving on to better things, like getting up close and personal or even better, letting that perverted master of yours help you out with those flare-ups of heat you've been having since recently.

I'm sure she'd be so glad to know that my [BOOST] ability is useful for sooo much more than enhancing brain power and maximizing combat prowess…or how my power can basically solve that low birth rate problem your species seems to be having since those idiots LARPING as fallen decided to start a war.

Maybe we could get Albion-chan to join in….to make it easier on the poor ladies when they wake up the next morning.]

Issei wisely decided not to comment further, realizing that the creature inside of him most likely knew him better than he knew himself. Even though he wore the guise of a irredeemable pervert at Kuoh, almost nobody knew about the flareups of heat he suffered during the yokai mating season. In order to counteract its effects, he (unwittingly) consumed a lot of perverted content and did a smut series on the side.

But this time, perhaps due to Ddraig's interference, it had gotten worse. In fact, it was so strong the only reason why he was still standing was due to a series of medications he had found in his parents' medicine chamber. The drugs helped suppress the feelings of perversion and other side effects of the heat, but he didn't want to be an addict for the rest of his life….

[Oh, come on! The Gremory heiress' clubhouse is just a few meters away! You said you wanted to be the harem king, so act like it! You wouldn't want your cute little sister to see that her beloved older brother is an idiot who can't get it up, right?]

Just shut the hell up you perverted overgrown lizard!

Realizing that the dragon was definitely up to something, the Hyoudou proceeded to put the hood of his jacket over his head and conceal his presence, before breaking out into a run for the ORC clubhouse. Maybe Rias or Akeno had a spell or portion that could deal with that particular problem he was having….
