Author's Note: Hellooooo Everyone! I am so happy to see I got nearly 200 views from the first two days of Kamen Rider Gadget being posted, and a handful of likes and favs! I am just so happy to see this kind of progress, thank you all for this! Anyway as I stated last time, there is a poll going on right now, on my profile that will allow you all to choose the Pink Ranger for my upcoming Fanfiction, MHA: Eiyuu Sentai Koseiger, and I want you to give me your honest opinion, not just base it on a bias! So I'm going to be turning off the Live Results until the last week of the poll. Still, at the moment, one of the girls has a narrow lead, and I am hoping you guys all give me your honest opinion and not one based off biases. Who deserves to be Kosei-Pink? I am hoping you all choose fairly and wisely. And as the line up stands, the Koseigers are as follows: Mikumo is Kosei-Red, Katsuki is Black, Iida is Kosei White, and Shouto is Kosei-Blue. I was having a real hard time deciding Shouto and Mikumo's placement, but I think I did alright. Also I'm going to let you guys know that in Koseiger, Mikumo has a Quirk, but it was Dormant until One For All, However since you came here for the Fanfiction, I'll share the explanation down at the bottom. If you have an opinion for the Koseiger Line-Up (Or Mikumo's Quirk), don't hesitate to rave and rant in the comments. Also don't forget to Watch, Favorite, and Review to get more Gadget Goodness and updates on Koseiger here! Aaaanyyywaaaay, thats about all I can say at the moment, so I'll catch ya on the Flipside! RIDER SMAAAAAAAASH!
Last time one Kamen Rider Gadget: We were introduced to the Hero of our Story, Mikumo Akatani, a Quirkless Individual who holds a genius intellect and a knack for invention and mechanical tinkering. After discovering he is a descendant of the Legendary Kamen Rider, Sento Kiryu, the Founder of his Family's Company, he had decided to restore the Riders to the World by becoming the First ever Quirkless Hero to come out of UA. Thankfully, with his family's wealth and his family company being the biggest Support Company in the World, they were able to create the Gadget Driver, a Rider System that was originally developed by the scientists that worked for the Criminal Mastermind, All For One, who brought the Riders to the Brink of Extinction. Once he had entered UA, he had a close encounter with a beautiful young inventor named Mei Hatsume, and almost instantly, Mikumo became smitten with her, despite his shyness around girls. Now, in the UA Hero Course Entrance Exam, Mikumo has transformed into Kamen Rider Gadget, what will the World think when the First Line of Heroes has come back from the Dead? What could possibly go wrong? (God Damn it, Bubsy!)
Chapter 1: Legends Return
Everyone looks ahead of them in pure shock, the very first of it's kind in generations, a Kamen Rider, in the flesh, right in front of them standing there. The students who had taken the Support Class Entrance Exam are watching through monitors with eyes filled with shock, somebody had developed a Gadget that created a Super Suit over the entire body, and whats more, it was a Quirkless no less! However, one of them watches with Glistening eyes, Mei Hatsume, who can't believe what she is seeing as she sees this marvel of engineering being displayed on screen, and unknown to most of the Examinees, the Entrance Exams were also being broadcast across the country, shocking everyone as the Commentator, and the viewers, can't believe what they are seeing. "Who…" Iida says, "Who the hell are you!?"
"Kamen Rider… Gadget!" Mikumo says, confidently, then charges forward towards the girl who was pinned by the rubble, selecting a gadget from his Gadget Operator's selection of apps, and creates a glove that has a powerful diamond drill on it, allowing him to bore through the concrete and free her easily. Once he finishes with this, he has the girl retreat to a safe distance, to which green electricity runs through the circuitry on his suit and into his legs. "Rider Jump!" He jumps into the air as, unbeknownst to him, a camera follows, closely watching his every move as the Electricity travels back up his horns as he taps a button on his belt three times.
"1-2-3!" The Belt calls out. "Rider Kick! Mikumo rises as high as he can and then starts spinning as fast as he can, electricity wrapping around him as it also shoots off his body and strikes everything around him, and he dives down towards the robot, feet first, performing a Corkscrew Drop Kick from the top of the Zero-Pointer and drills straight through it, causing it to explode as the electricity rips through the machine. He comes down, landing hard, causing a crater on the ground, which takes the form of a unique version of the Kiryu Industries Logo, the Build Logo, only the teeth of his gear halves are triangular, and the seam in the center is jagged at the corners and edges, with the ends having the shape of lightning bolts.
"Yosh…" Mikumo says, smiling.
"INCREDIBLE!" The Announcer on the TV shouts. "For the first time in Generations, the Original Heroes of Japan, the Kamen Riders, have returned! Though if you know anything about the Kamen Riders, you know that a great evil must've created the Rider System that Mikumo Akatani is using! Who could've created it, and what if they come back to try and reclaim what belonged to them!?" However, the people aren't paying attention to the announcer, many are shocked beyond belief to see a Kamen Rider, most of them having believed they were nothing more than a Legend of the Early Days of Quirks. Yet, there it is for everyone to see, Kamen Rider Gadget, The First of the Yusha Era Riders…
Mikumo smiles as he stands up, and then there is a phone ringing, "Oh?" He then hits a button on the Driver's case and pulls out the phone, finding her has a call. He answers, "Moshimoshi?"
"Mikumo, my baby!" Inko says over the phone, "That was absolutely amazing!"
"Huh?" Mikumo asks.
"You don't know? The Entrance Exams are being broadcasted all over Japan, and what you did was just amazing!" Inko says, smiling big on her end of the line. "I am so happy for you!"
"Mom, the results aren't even being tallied yet!" Mikumo says, chuckling. "Anyway, the Exam is almost over so I'll be home soon!"
"Alright then, see you at home, Miku-kun! Bye!"
"Bye!" Mikumo says, then hangs up, and then presses a button on the Gadget Driver.
"Log Off!" The Gadget Driver calls out, in which his suit returns to becoming Nanites and they flow back into the Driver, the young man smiles as he puts the phone in his pocket as Recovery Girl enters the area.
"Well done, Kamen Rider!" Recovery Girl says, "It's good to see the Successor finally show his face!"
"I'm sorry…?" Mikumo asks.
"Oh my apologies… I'm a descendant of Emu Hojo, Kamen Rider Ex-Aid…!" Recovery Girl says, smiling, "So to see a Successor finally show his face brings warmth to my old heart!"
"I'm glad to be of service, Recovery Girl!" Mikumo says, bowing, "I am also honored to say that I'm a descendant of Sento Kiryu, Kamen Rider Build!"
"Well then I am glad to meet a fellow Rider Kin!" Recovery Girl says, holding out her hand to shake, to which Mikumo takes it and shakes, only to find gummies in his hands. "You must be exhausted, have some gummies and regain your strength, Gadget!"
"Thank you!" Mikumo says, smiling and begins munching on the gummies. "So good!"
"Uhm excuse me…!" The girl Mikumo saved just a few moments ago says, "Uhm… I wanted to say…" She is blushing a bit. "Thank you for saving me!" She bows a bit, to which Mikumo looks at her, a blush of embarrassment on his face.
"I-I-I-It is no trouble at all!" Mikumo says, embarrassed. The girl smiles at him and then backs up a bit.
"I'm Ochako Uraraka! It's a pleasure to meet you!"
"Mikumo Akatani, Kamen Rider Gadget!" He says nervously. Soon the exams end and Mikumo is at the Train Station, only for him to find somebody press themselves against his back, a woman. "Gck!"
"Helloooo there, Miku-kun!" Mei says, smiling as she is pressed against his back. "Kind of tight in here, isn't it?"
'So tight!' Mikumo thinks, feeling his pants suddenly getting tight. "M-Mei!"
"That's my name, don't wear it out!"
"I-Is your way home along this train line?"
"Nope! I am actually hoping to do some follow-up with you!" Mei says, "Although…" She runs her hands along his body, "I can say that this follow-up may very well be pretty good, especially with muscles like these!"
"Gck!" Mikumo says, stiffening his body. "W-w-would you not do that!"
"Nope! I've never met anyone who could create babies like you could with that suit of yours!" Mei says, "Besides, I am getting all sorts of ideas for my beautiful little babies by having my hands on you! Jetpacks, hover boots, all sorts of ideas!"
"..." Mikumo tries to keep quiet, biting his finger as he tries not to moan from her hands massaging his muscles. 'Focus, Mikumo, focus!' Mikumo's face is turning red as he begins to draw blood to keep himself from moaning at her touch. Mei leans over and smiles at him, pressing her chest further against his back, and leans into his ear.
"There is a big question I wanted to ask you…" Mei says, her hands stopping and going into a hug. "What's it like to be Quirkless?" Mikumo looks at her, and sees the Hyperactive smile she had just moments ago has been replaced, one with that of a solemn look. "I've known Quirkless all my life, even have Quirkless Parents, and went to a Middle School with a large number of Quirkless in it. Still… I could never figure out why people have something against the Quirkless… They're awesome…!" Mikumo looks at her shocked, "What they lack in the brawn of modern times, they make up for in ingenuity, tenacity, and hard-earned skill!"
"Mei…" Mikumo says, letting go of his finger, she turns him towards her.
"What's more, the First Heroes were Quirkless, and yet everyone forgot about them!" She is shedding tears, "My Ancestor were Kamen Riders…! Two of the First Heroes! Why did people forget about my ancestors, KAMEN RIDERS CYCLONE AND JOKER!?" She cries into his shirt, "Why did they forget about them!?" Mikumo looks at Mei and his eyes can only feel sympathy for her, until relatively recently he didn't know he was a descendant of a Kamen Rider as well. He then gently embraces her, Mei crying, and people are watching them, having heard that Mei is a Rider Kin, and everyone can't help but feel pity for her.
"Hey hey hey…" Mikumo says, "It's alright Mei…!" Mikumo tries to calm her, but then begins humming "W-B-X, Double Boiled Xtreme" to her, and slowly, Mei begins to calm down.
"Seeing you turn into a Rider… It just helped me remember why I was creating so many babies… I wanted to bring back the Riders, and to help them stay for good this time!" Mei says, smiling. "So if you'll have me be your partner, Gadget, I'm yours…!" Mikumo looks at her stunned, but smiles, nodding.
"I'd be honored, Mei, we Rider Kin need to stick together!" That is when the train announces they will be arriving at Mikumo's station shortly. "Well looks like it's time for me to head out…"
"Right…!" Mei says, regaining some of her energy, "Oh let's exchange contact information! That way we can get in touch with each other!" Mei holds his Gadget Driver in her hands, though he doesn't know how she got it out of his pocket. He watches her as she exchanges numbers at a rapid pace, only for her to pass the Driver back once she is finished, and before the train stops, she pulls Mikumo in. She then proceeds to plant a Kiss on his lips, but not just a simple peck on the lips, she frenchs him. Mikumo's entire body turns red, and his ears erupt with steam. "Good Luck, Kamen Rider Gadget!"
"Y-Yeah…" Mikumo says, moving as if he were a robot as they arrive at the stop, his body on autopilot while his brain reboots. Mei has a faint blush on her cheeks with a smile on her face, and then goes to find her train properly this time. A week passes, and Mikumo sits in his workshop, working on his computer as he takes the data from his Hero Analysis for the Future, and uses the Gadget Visor, along with the tech of his company, to start building new gadgets he could use in his Suit. The ones he has in his personal arsenal are for use outside his suit, when he doesn't get the chance to transform, these other Gadgets, coined as Tools, are Gadgets specifically designed to be integrated into his Rider Suit, and thanks to the machine known as the Digitizer, he can teleport them from the Armory to his suit and back within a matter of moments.
The Tools he is creating are all based on the Quirks that Mikumo has taken notes on over the years, and he inputs all the data he has on them to create the Tools that Replicate the abilities of these people. So far he is stuck on creating his first tool, as he can't replicate the Quirk without violating any laws, due to it's literal explosive nature. That's right, he was trying to recreate Katsuki's Quirk, all so he could throw it in his face, however, the problem is there is no way to safely store Nitroglycerin inside the gauntlets without causing it to explode. It's not like… "Wait… Nitroglycerin… Nitro…. NITROGEN! MIKUMO YOU MORON!" Mikumo shouts to himself and immediately reworks his blueprints. "Baka, Baka, Baka! Instead of trying to store Nitroglycerin, I should've focused on gathering the natural gasses in the air, storing them, and then combusting them in an explosive manner instead!" Mikumo finally getting the plans and designs to work, and the simulations prove that it can be done by swinging hard and fast enough while applying heat. The Explosions wouldn't be as strong as Katsuki's but he'd still be able to throw the explosions right back into his face.
He then sets the computer to build the Nitro-Bombers to his exact specifications, then decides to take a few minutes to relax, before there is a call to his line. "Moshimoshi?"
"Mikumo! We've got a visitor here! A girl is asking for you!" Inko says, her voice a bit nervous.
"Oh?" Mikumo asks, heading upstairs as quickly as he can. Once in the Lobby, his suspicions are confirmed when he sees it's Mei, who is dressed in, somewhat, casual wear, wearing a white mini dress with a pair of black jeans, whilst wearing her goggles, her eyes looking around as Inko tries desperately, in vain, to get more information out of her. "Mei…! I should've known!"
"Ah! Hellooo Miku-kun!" Mei says, with a song in her voice. Mikumo smiles as he walks down towards the two.
"Mikumo, just who is this girl?" Inko asks, desperate for an answer.
"Calm down, Mom, I can explain!" Mikumo says, "This is Mei Hatsume, Future Support Course Student at UA and descendant of Kamen Rider W's two key components, Shotaro Hidari and Raito "Phillip" Sonozaki! Kamen Riders Joker and Cyclone respectively!"
"And the girl who stole, Gadget's First Kiss!" Mei says, proudly, to which Inko looks at her in horror.
"Eh…?"
"Mom! Don't read into it too much!"
"Oh you're boy's lips were so soft… I couldn't believe it was so…" Mei says, teasingly, seeing an opportunity to have fun.
"Eh?" Inko asks, her body shaking.
"No mom! Please, calm down!"
"It was also my first kiss as well… It was just…" Mei has a distant, dreamy look on her face. "Magical…"
"Mikumooooo…" Inko says, tears welling up in her eyes.
"Oh no!"
"MIKUMOOOOOOOO!" Inko cries out as Mikumo picks up Mei and dives behind a counter, everyone taking cover as a pair of geysers erupts from Inko's eyes and starts sending down a rain of tears onto everyone.
"Whoa! She's a real gusher!"
"All because you caused this, Mei! Are you trying to get us all into trouble!?" Mikumo asks.
"What? It's fun to get in trouble sometimes!" She says, pinning him down with a smile on her face, straddling him as she peaks over the counter, to see Inko crying, not of sorrow or fear, but joy.
"MY BABY IS BECOMING A MAAAAAAN!" Inko shouts out, and it takes her a few minutes before she finishes, and Mei just explains that while everything she said was true, she was only teasing the poor woman. "That was not funny! That's a negative trait my family has, while it can be useful against fires, it dehydrates us rapidly…!" Inko explains after having her third 50 fluid ounce bottle of water. "It's not a quirk, it's something of a genetic mutation…"
"I see…!" She then gives Mikumo a look.
"Don't even think about it, Mei…" Mikumo says.
"So why are you here?"
"Well I simply came to see Mikumo! I had sent him a text a few hours ago, to see if he wanted to hang out today!"
"What?" Mikumo asks, looking at the Gadget Driver, and sees the text. "Oh, so you did!" He then checks the settings, "Ah no wonder I didn't know, I put it on silent!" He switches the sound back on, "Now no more surprises! And how many hours of sleep did you get last night, Mei?"
"8 hours! An hour longer than you suggested but it was liberating!" Mei says, "I was finally able to make a couple of babies that didn't explode this time thanks to your advice!"
"Good on you!" Mikumo says, to which Mei notices his manner of dress. "What?"
"Have you been making Babies?"
"Eh?" Inko asks, shock evident on her face.
"Don't even think about it mom! What she means is gadgets!" Mikumo explains to his mother, who calms down.
"Sorry about that, Ms. Akatani! I wasn't trying to upset you this time! I was merely asking if he had been working in his workshop!"
"I see… And Yes, based on his dress, he was working…" Inko says, "He was waiting for the results of his Examination to come in!"
"Oh! Then can you show me around your workshop, please?" Mei asks, with what could be akin to puppy dog eyes, Mikumo turning his head away to try and think with a clear head. Mei then smiles as she gets uncomfortably close with her breasts pressed against his chest. "Pleeeeeaaaase?"
"Oh alright!" Mikumo says, his face turning bright red, "Just back up a little please!"
"Okay!" Mei says, smiling as she hops back a few steps with a smile, and the two head down to his personal workshop, where Mei can't believe her eyes, especially in how advanced the place is, it's got almost every conceivable part you could imagine, all sorts of tools, it's an inventor's dream, but whats more, it has a simulator to test the statistics of certain the gadgets he builds. However, when they enter the lab, they find that the computer screen reveals that there is an error in one of the projects being constructed.
"Oh no!"
"Whats wrong?" Mei asks, rushing to the computer with him. Mikumo types rapidly onto his computer and finds that the Go-Go Gadget's systems are far too numerous and large to be placed inside of a motorcycle.
"Damn it!" Mikumo says, "Looks like I'm going to have to scrap the project…"
"Hmmm…!" Mei says, looking at the designs and then starts rapidly typing on the computer.
"Mei, what are you doing!?"
"Shhhh!" She says placing a finger on his lips and with a seductive look on her face. "Be quiet while Momma makes the corrections on your homework, honey!" Mikumo blushes at the sultry tone in her voice and nods, watching as this young woman rapidly types and the Go-Go Gadget is reworked into becoming a one-seater car, and she saves the Motorcycle as another project. "There we go! Finished!"
"A Car?"
"Drive and Black of the Showa Riders had one! So why can't you?"
"Hmmmm…! You've done it again, Mei!"
"Eh?" She says with a smile on her face.
"You've impressed me!" Mikumo explains, giving her a genuine smile with his eyes closed.
"I aim to please!" Mei says, smiling as the two of them set the machines to work on building the Go-Go Gadget, whilst having the Motorcycle finished with less features to be used at a later date. "Say, quick question, could you make me one of those Gadget Drivers?"
"Eh?" Mikumo asks.
"I'm thinking that instead of just regular support, I could become a Field Support Agent, just in case you need back-up! That way I not only get to help you in the field, but I get to field test my babies on the regular!" Mei says, smiling.
"Hmmmm that doesn't sound too bad, but you'll need to get permission at the school once it opens for the semester!" Mikumo says, smiling at her, "Though I think in the meantime I can make you some Gadget Gear in the meantime!"
"Thank yoooou!" Mei says, a song in her voice, then placing a kiss on his cheek, causing the boy to turn bright red.
"Would you stop teasing me!?"
"Nope!" Mei says, "Now show me more of your babies!" Mikumo sighs and then continues to show her around the shop and his Civilian Arsenal, which Mei admires both the function and craftsmanship. "These babies are beautiful! Though, I'm noticing these are mostly made for combat! Where're the utility babies?"
"I've never had the time to focus on that. Most of my time was focused on developing weapons that I could use to defend myself since I didn't have a Quirk. And because of that, I had to get a license to register my gear and list them under self defense, especially since a big bully at my school loves to fling around that Explosion Quirk of his!"
"Yikes, I can see why you focused so much on combat though!" Mei says, lifting up another Gadget, this one a gun of some kind. "Oooo! Whats this?"
"Oh that?" Mikumo smiles as he gently takes it out of her hand and aims it at a testing dummy and puts on a headset, "Chaaaaaa…." That is when the gun starts creating a noise that causes Mei to close on of her eyes in discomfort, "KRA!" Mikumo then fires a concentrated bullet made entirely out of sonic vibrations that pierce through the dummy.
"Whoa! What was that!?"
"Ever watch the movie Dune? It's a good movie! In it, they develop a technology that allows them to focus sound into lethal projectiles! I copied it exactly, and now I'm trying to lower the actual power so it has all the lethality of a beanbag being launched at the same speeds, or possibly a rubber bullet…" Mikumo explains.
"Oh yes, it's one of my favorites!" Mei explains, and the two get to talking as they absentmindedly begin working on a new project together. Inko watches from a distance, unsure about this girl, she seems like she is compatible with her son, but then again she seems to know just what to do in order to manipulate him. This causes Inko a bit of unease as she looks at her boy, the two of them just smiling, talking, and working together, but she knows she has work to do and goes back to her office, using the security cameras to keep an eye on them.
After about an hour, Mei's stomach growls and she checks her phone, it's just about Lunch time. "Oh i guess it's time to eat!" Mei says, smiling, "Hey want to put this baby on pause and get something tasty?"
"Sounds good to me!" Mikumo says, the two of them exiting the building, and vanishing from the watchful eyes of Inko's security cameras. The Mother says a prayer to make sure her baby comes back safely…
'And a Virgin!' Inko thinks, that manipulative harlot already stole her son's first kiss, no way was she going to take his virginity! Mikumo and Mei walk down the street, chatting a bit, exchanging ideas for new babies, in which Mikumo insist she not call them as such in public, as people would get the wrong idea, Mei agreed, but in exchange for a bribe.
"So long as it's within reason, I'll pay up!"
"Alright!" Mei says, "Oh I know a great place to eat nearby, follow me!" Mei pulls the green-haired youth along as he tries to follow close behind, the two of them taking a few crosswalks before arriving at a little diner called the Aquamarine. "Here we aaaare!"
"Aquamarine…?" Mikumo asks, hoping he has his English correct.
"Yup, it's a neat little shop that sells good food and delicious desserts!" Mei says, "My home is actually some distance from here, so I actually come here whenever I have the cash to spare! Come on!" She drags him inside, "Hellooooooo!"
"Hey, Mei!" The head chef says, smiling as somebody stands on a stage, playing beautiful music on a violin, though, for some odd reason, he looks like he is in highschool. "Oh you on a date or something!"
"Not yet! We're just getting lunch after working on a couple babies!"
"Mei!" Mikumo says.
"Oh calm down, these guys know me! I've been coming here ever since it first opened a couple of years back! It's not well known because it's run by Quirkless, and thats what makes it awesome!" Mei says, "It's like my home away from home!"
"Really?" Mikumo asks, but then notices something about the stage, and notices something mechanical hanging from one of the rafters, to which Mikumo draws his Sonic Pistol, this time only a sound emitter, and fires it, creating a cone of sonic energy that causes a bat-like ornament to scream and shout as it flies down.
"Ow! What the hell man!?" The bat says. The Patrons look at this in terror, but most stay where they are.
"What the!?" Mei says.
"Kivat-Bat the 3rd!" Mikumo says, "If you're here, then where is Kamen Rider Kiva?"
"EEEEEEH!?" Mei says, more excited rather than shocked.
"How rude of you to demand answers from me, jerk!" Kivat says.
"Calm down Kivat…!" The violinist says, smiling as markings like that of Stained Glass Windows appear on his cheeks. "You're quite smart for a teen, especially your knowledge on us Riders." Mikumo looks at him and lowers his gun, "I am…"
"Wataru Kurenai, Kamen Rider Kiva, one of the Last Living Kamen Riders in the World…" Mikumo says, "You were one of a few Kamen Riders of the Heisei Era to have Quirks… In your Case, it was Vampire…" Mikumo puts away the gun, "Your Vampire Quirk allowed you to absorb the life force of foes you killed, either by accident or intentionally if they proved too dangerous to leave alive. Thanks to it, you're alive today…!"
"Very observant indeed…!" Wataru says, "Kamen Rider Gadget…!" He steps down from the stage, "Still that was rather rude of you to attack my friend…!"
"Apologies, but I saw his red eyes and thought somebody was going to attack you, so I used a Sonic Emitter to create an earpiercing sound to stun whoever it was. I had no idea it was Kivat until I saw it was him." Mikumo says, speaking properly. "Still it is an honor to meet both of you, and I'm sorry for causing such circumstances…"
"Mah Mah… You were acting like any hero would, in the defense of others, but blast me again and I'll show you how nasty I can really get!" Kivat threatens.
"Noted…!" Mikumo says, bowing a bit.
"While this is fun and all, and I would most certainly like to examine Kivat-kun, since he looks like a mix of living organism and actual machinery!" Mei says, to which Kivat gulps nervously, "I am starving, and I need something to eat!"
"Right!" Mikumo says, to which they sit at a table and everything returns to normal, and as they wait for their food, they enjoy Wataru's music, to which Mikumo closes his eyes and listens to each individual sound and calculates them, just for fun. Mei is enjoying herself, the music is kind of relaxing and… Romantic for some reason… She isn't sure why but then again, she doesn't know much about Wataru's chosen style of music. Soon their order arrives, Mei goes for something normal, a cheese burger with fries and a drink, whilst Mikumo goes for something called the Hangover Burger, which has a fried egg, a thick slice of ham with the burger, and hashbrown patties, along with the actual burger, which is made of carefully mixed sausage. Mikumo, looking at it, his eyes are looking like actual stars as drool flows down his chin.
"Whoa, you look like a predator that hasn't eaten in days!"
"Huh?" Mikumo asks, snapping out of his trance. "Sorry…" Mikumo chuckles, embarrassed… "Breakfast is my favorite meal, so I take any chance I get to eat it throughout the day!"
"Understandable, now dig in before it gets cold, I'll pay for lunch today since you let me into your lab and allowed me to help make some babies!" Mei says, smiling big, to which Mikumo just chuckles and nods. The Head Chef smiles as he looks at them, having normally seen Mei with her parents here, or on her own, usually with one or three of her "puzzle babies" which allow her to pass the time. He has never seen Mei look so happy before, and he can't help but think of two young lovebirds, having only just met.
The two eat as they enjoy Wataru's music, Mikumo loving the food he is eating, and Mei can't help but find his actions adorable, and throughout the rest of their lunch, they spend their time there before heading back to the HQ, where Inko is rushing down the stairs with a letter in her hand. "MIKUMOOO!" She says, tripping, "They're here! The results of your exam!" She says, a bit frantic, to which Mikumo rushes over to her, and gently takes the results, to which the Employees all watch with bated breath, the young man opening to find a Hologram that plays through everything, revealing that Mikumo had tied for First Place with Katsuki, and that he had forgotten his Prize for destroying the Zero-Pointer.
"And the Prize you had won is…!" The announcer says, "You get a once in a life time opportunity!" He gestures to a screen door as somebody stands behind it, and takes a stance, "You see, the Prize was that you were going to be receiving this…!" He holds up something that Kiryu Industries has been struggling to find.
"The Build Driver!" Inko says.
"However, since we found out you were a Kamen Rider yourself, and not only that, the heir to Kiryu Industries, we decided to return this family heirloom we found as a courtesy. Now for the Real Prize, when it comes time to actually undertake Internships for Heroic Studies, you shall be personally trained under one of the best! Now, let's see who it is!" That is when the music begins to play, to which Inko and Mikumo cover their mouths as tears threaten to leave their eyes. They know this song like the back of their hands, as it is played every day here at the office, every hour on the hour.
Kono mama aruki tsuzuketeiru
Kon'ya mo maasugu Hitori no ashiato tadotte...

"Rabbit! Tank! Best Match!" A voice calls out as the figure moves behind the screen. "ARE YOU READY!?"

Message, Okoru yo hibiku yooooooooo!
"I've got the Winning Formula…!" Kamen Rider Build comes into view, and Inko can't help but scream for Joy while Mikumo is just silent, but his face says it all, shedding tears while a smile is across his face.
"Sosen-sama! (Ancestor)" Mikumo simply says, tears flowing down his face, and then he lowers his eyes with a smile on his face. "All Systems… Go!" He says, as if in reply to his ancestor.
Author's Note: Phew! That was a tough one, but I have to say, that ending was one I had been thinking of for a long time, especially considering how epic Build's Opening is when placed in the right setting, like the first henshin of Build Genius! Anyway I think I owe you guys an explanation of the Quirk I mentioned earlier at the top. Well here it is:
Mikumo Akatani, Quirk: Survive, Type: Mutation. Mikumo's Marrow bones generate an excessive amount of Progenitor and Stem Cells that allow for Mikumo to rapidly and perfectly regenerate from all but the most fatal of injuries. This Quirk works faster when Mikumo provides materials in which to aid the repairs such as food and drink, as such Mikumo carries a ton of snacks in his belt to expedite his healing process. It also allows him to recover from diseases and toxins much more faster by having his cells recognize them and develop antibodies several times faster than most, and thanks to his -O Blood Type, if he transfuses blood into another person, he can heal them with the same power and efficiency of his own Quirk!
That's pretty much Mikumo's Quirk, and before you guys say its overpowered, I have three very distinct weaknesses that hold it back from becoming Wolverine and Deadpool levels of ridiculous. The First, and most major, of the weaknesses is that a good, old-fashioned, Ode to the Nutshot is the only known way to temporarily disable his Quirk, and for all guys out there, like me, you know how much it hurts to get a hit to the scrotum. The Second weakness is that, like Recovery Girl's Heal Quirk, Mikumo's rapid healing takes a toll on his stamina, and by using food to expedite the process, he can cut back on some of the backlash of his regeneration, but not all of it. Finally, the Third weakness that despite being an -O Blood Type, when he transfuses his blood to heal people, the stamina drain on hims is double the amount he would need to heal himself, as he not only needs to regenerate blood cells, but also more stem and progenitor cells.
Now that I think about it, maybe I could use this in another Fanfiction with Mikumo obtaining One For All and Survive Activating! But what do you all think? Should I use Survive in a Third, Stand Alone Project, or should I keep it limited to Koseiger for now? Let me know in your reviews, and I will catch you guys on the Flipside! RIDER SMAAAAAAASH!
