Many thanks to those who read and reviewed this fic. I really appreciated it and this gave me inspiration to work on the next chapter and here the current story picks up where the last chapter left, in which Ryoma Hoshi is trying to elude capture while finding a way to clear his name, but something unexpected happens, as Saihara and Akamatsu found evidence that proved that Ryoma is innocent from the very start, so read on and Well, enjoy!
Ch. 6: Terotenisu
As the scene shifts at the skies, you can see birds flew and the scene shifts towards the safe-house, where the mafia leader is sprawled on the ground, his head decapitated from his body, lying in a pool of blood, and you can see Ryoma walking away, his eyes full of determination as he is now seeking out his former middle school schoolmates for ruining his life and make them pay for what they did to him.
Several minutes later, the scene shifts at the streets where several policemen are seen at the scene of the incident, and they are rather disturbed at how the mafia gangsters are killed, and they wondered if Ryoma did this, as they are sure that he is unarmed and are unsure how the crime is carried out, which the policemen are having a bit of difficulty due to absences of some key clues, such as fingerprints and the type of weapon being used.
The policemen are getting wary, as aside from conducting a manhunt on Ryoma, having received reports that he is sighted nearby, they got a call about a massacre and when they arrived, the cops were taken by surprise at the sight, and they wondered who did this and are unsure if Ryoma is the one given that Ryoma does not have such access to high-powered weapons.
"Geez..."
"What a way to start work..."
"Ryoma Hoshi...aged 16 years old..."
"Is he really the one...?"
"Can't say…for all we know all he's got is a tennis racket…"
"Really…?"
"You tell me…think he is capable doing something LIKE THIS?"
"Why did he commit murder...? And why kill again...?"
As the cops continue their patrolling, the warden is seen leaving a nearby hospital, and is smirking that his PROBLEMS are temporarily solved as no one will find out that he sacrificed the boy in order to cover his own misdeed.

At Genmu Corporation, Kokichi Oma is inside his office, listening to the radio where the report about a mafia gang found murdered, and Oma smirked as he is pleased with the results. A brief flashback scene shows that the mafia gang who killed the tennis enthusiast four years ago is the same gang who has been harassing Genmu Corporation into giving them protection money, and Oma is intent on teaching the mafia gang a lesson but waited for the right time.
But since meeting with Ryoma, he sees this as a way to rid the problem without dirtying his hands, and there his smartphone rang and answered it, where Ryoma is the caller, and there Oma asks Ryoma how is everything, and Ryoma answered in reply, his tone sounds like he is not happy with it yet there is no choice on his part given the circumstances that happened to him during his four-year sufferings.
"Hello, Hoshi-kun..."
"Mr. Oma..."
"How did it go?"
"Not quite satisfying...I managed to get some answers from them..."
"I see...and did you get some answers?"
"A few...but not enough to prove my innocence..."
"Perhaps I can offer you some tidbits."
"What?"
Oma then smirked as he told Ryoma that he did some investigation and said that he is able to trace the culprits who bullied Ryoma as the ones who hired the mafia gang, and using SECRET MEANS, Oma told Ryoma that he discovered that the bullies' parents, who are corrupt politicians, are aware of the situation, and fearing for their children's safeties, as well as fearing that their political agendas might be compromised, intend to send the bullies away to either other prefectures or overseas.
Ryoma stared wide-eyed as he cannot afford to miss this as he is now thirsting for revenge and the intention of making them admit crimes, and asked Oma to provide him the info on where the bullies and their politician parents can be found, and Oma assured to him that the information will be forwarded to the former tennis hopeful.
"Very well..."
"Please, Mr. Oma...tell me where yo find them!"
"I will forward the details on the phone I gave you...you will get the info shortly."
"Please do."
"Of course."
"This is the only chance I can get in clearing my name!"
"I promise you will."
"Thanks!"

Meanwhile, the scene shifts at the rest house where the mafia gang are found murdered, and despite the area being cordoned off, Saihara and Akamatsu managed to sneak their way in, and looked around, seeing that there are no traces of bullets, and basing on the pictures of the bodies sent through his smartphone, Saihara had a feeling that someone used high technological weapons to kill the mafia gang, and Akamatsu slowly sensed that SOMEONE is providing someone the MEANS to use those weapons to murder the victims.
By then Akamatsu saw something on the floor, where a hidden door slowly opened and a surviving mafia member came out, looking terrified and Saihara approached the survivor, who is revealed to be one of the mafia gangsters who managed to hid himself when the unseen attacker attacked everyone, and stayed there until the attacker leaves.
Saihara then urges the survivor to tell him what happened, and though refusing at first, Akamatsu persuaded him to speak up or else the attacker would come back here claiming that he might discover the hiding place the survivor used, and she promised to provide protection.
The survivor, nearly hysterical and fearing for his life, reluctantly told them everything, and both Saihara and Akamatsu stared in shock upon learning that Ryoma Hoshi is innocent of the crimes and is being used as a scapegoat by the bullies from his old middle school. Akamatsu clenched her fists as she also learned from the survivor that the bullies' politician parents play a role in this as they used their connections to facilitate the frame-up, false witnesses at the trial and bribed the judge to give Ryoma a guilty verdict.
Saihara himself is not too pleased with this as he now understood how and why Ryoma is forced to escape prison, and now Ryoma is out for revenge as he deduced that he is after the bullies who framed him for the crime he did not commit, and Akamatsu told Saihara that they need to keep the survivor alive and use him as a witness to clear Ryoma of the charges.
"Saihara-kun!"
"Yes?"
"We need to keep this guy alive. He is the only one who can prove Ryoma's innocence!"
"I got it."
"Hey you! You want to live?"
"Y-yes..."
"Then be the witness! Prove to everyone that Ryoma Hoshi is innocent! Expose the real culprits! At least you could get a light sentence!"
"But...I...huh? Wait! No!"
However, two gunmen showed up and opened fire, shooting down the survivor and he died from multiple gunshot wounds, while Saihara and Akamatsu jumped through the window and hid behind a bush, where the gunmen searched for the two, intent in making sure there are no witnesses and it implies that someone want to make sure that Ryoma remained a criminal and not get him a re-trial.
The gunmen spent almost three minutes before deciding boarded the car to make a getaway, not realizing that Saihara and Akamatsu sneaked behind and hid inside the car's compartment, and the car speeds away towards the exit border of Tokyo, heading towards the area of Shinjuku, where one of the gunmen contacted someone, informing the caller that the survivor is dead, ensuring that Ryoma would not get a witness that would warrant a re-trial, and the unidentified caller told him to head to the hideout as he and his fellow gunman will be providing escort to a group which the gunman agreed.
"Sir...we did as told."
"And the remaining one?"
"Dead."
"Good. Head for the meeting point. You will be given an assignment."
"I see."
"And get here as soon as you can."
"Yes sir."
"Over and out."

About two hours later, the scene shifts at a safehouse in Shinjuku, where the politician parents of the bullies are assembled, and the bullies are seen packing their belongings as they are to be sent to the island of Hokkaido, and from there a ship would be waiting and it will sent them out of Japan towards an unidentified destination so as to protect their children from Ryoma's wrath, as they are aware that Ryoma knows about the truth, and once their children are out of Japan, the politicians would use their influence to pressure the police into issuing a shoot to kill order so as to silence Ryoma and not expose the corruption and frame-up.
The politicians then told their children that they have to lie low for now and wait for their call once Ryoma is dealt with, and once he is, then they can return to Tokyo, which the bullies nodded in obedience as they are also fearing for their lives, as well as not wanting to go to jail for orchestrating the tennis enthusiast's murder and framing of Ryoma.
"Yes, daddy..."
"We'll lie low."
"Please make sure that Ryoma brat is either in jail or shot dead."
"I want to go back to my old life..."
"Want to pick up girls..."
"Want to go to bars..."
"I wish I went back home..."
"Want to go to bed..."
Behind the car, Saihara and Akamatsu were listening to the conversation, and they saw everything, in which the two realized just how deep the conspiracy is, and Akamatsu is pissed that the politicians are willing to cover their tracks just to cover-up such a despicable crime.
However, the two teens were taken by surprise upon seeing Ryoma Hoshi arriving in front of his tormentors, and hearing everything, the 16-year old boy stared viciously at the bullies who ruined his life, and vowed that he will not let them get away with it and make sure they will pay for murdering his benefactor and for framing him for a crime he never committed, and the lead politician tried to verbally shoot him down into submission so as to discourage Ryoma, which did little to deter the young boy who suffered during the last for years.
"Hah! So what?"
"..."
"You think we're scared of you?"
"..."
"You're a convict now! No one will believe you!"
"Whatever. Either way, I will not let you get away with this. I may not get the justice legally...but I will make sure you will pay."
"Are you trying to scare us?"
"No...stating the truth."
The other politician nudged his head as the bodyguards went in front and aimed their guns at him, and the lead politician asks his fellow politician what is he doing, and the fellow politician says that it would be risky to let him live, fearing that he might spill the beans to the media, but the lead politician says no one would believe a convicted felon, but the fellow politician reiterated that it is better than letting Ryoma cause a political gossip that might affect their political careers.
"It's better this way!"
"What?"
"If we let him live, he would blab to the media...and though he had no proof...our political rival might take advantage of it!"
"But..."
"Look...on paper he's wanted...but we have the legal basis to protect ourselves!"
"Then..."
"We can use this as a basis of self-defense...and we can be hailed as heroes in the eyes of the public!"
"You're right!"
Seeing the logic, the lead politician consented, and as the other corrupt politician asks Ryoma if he has any last words, Ryoma just glared at them as he took out something from his jacket, which appeared to be a huge belt buckle with a lever, but Akamatsu stared in shock at recognizing the device that Ryoma is holding, and when Saihara asks her what is wrong, she told him what Ryoma is holding - the Game Driver.
Saihara stared in surprise upon hearing this and glanced at the scene, where Ryoma puts the Game Driver in front of his waist which immediately forms a belt, and he took out a hand-sized video game cartridge and presses a button where the cartridge's voice spoke.
Cartridge: "TERROR TENNIS…"
A projection materialized where several boxes appeared and the scene now resembled a projection-like version of a tennis court, and the bullies and their politician parents are baffled at what is going on, and there Ryoma inserts the cartridge on the left portion of the belt which then initiated his transformation, and both Saihara and Akamatsu watches the scene before them in utter shock and surprise.
"Henshin."
Cartridge: "GASHATO! LET'S GAME...ME-CHA GAME...MU-CHA GAME...WHA-CHA NAME...I'M A KAMEN RIDER!"
-TRANSFORMATION SEQUENCE-
The scene shows that Ryoma is surrounded by a series of holographic images that are encircling around him and he tapped one of the images in front of him by hitting it in a tennis-like fashion, and the image went towards Ryoma, encasing him in a whitish armor which made him resembled a human adult sized, chibi-looking armored figure, which vaguely resembled an armored trooper from Star Wars, the only difference is that the helmet's EYES were so big making it look like a super-deformed person.
Another noticable feature is that the armored person's helmet sports a tennis player's cap, and his armored appearance has an armored tennis attire, which was white with blue streaks.
-END TRANSFORMATION SEQUENCE-
As the bullies and their politician-parents stared wide-eyed in surprise, Saihara and Akamatsu were equally surprised, as they did not expect Ryoma to possess those devices and they are baffled as to how he got hold of the said-devices, and as Akamatsu wondered how is it possible for Ryoma to do that, Saihara slowly pieced the puzzles together, and told her what he dedced just now, which further shocked Akamatsu at what she is just told.
"Akamatsu..."
"What?"
"I think I know how Mr. Hoshi got those."
"What do you mean?"
"Genmu Corporation."
"What...? Are you suggesting...?"
"Either he approached Kokichi Oma...or stole it without Oma knowing...
"No...it can't be..."
