GKC: What's up, everyone! This is GKC here bringing you the next chapter of Remnant's Climax Heroes!
SR: Here's what you may have missed: Kurai was saved by Orion and joined the team as they and RWBY perform in a battle of the bands. But now, it'll be a two-parter that will truly take suspense to the new level. *pulls on suspenders* Just like these suspenders.
KRD: *takes the suspenders and let's go* WAPISH!
SR: *pained expression* …Please excuse me, everyone. *SR walks outside* EEEEEEEEYYAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAARGGH!
GKC: Welp, while SR is crying in agony, I will now announce the name for Orion's original Rider Form. By unanimous vote, and pretty much popularity, he is now known as Kamen Rider Azure. So, you won that bet, KRD.
KRD: Woohoo! Yeah~! Pay up, suckas!
SR:*comes in and gives KRD an atomic wedgie* KARMA! PAYBACK! REVENGE!
KRD: You know, this really doesn't hurt at all.

KRD: Onto the chapter!
GKC: I suddenly feel left out… Ah! Enjoy the show!
Chapter 15: Revelation! The Dark Falcon's Cry! Part 1
[Beacon Academy - Dorms]
T'was nighttime (THIS AIN'T CHRISTMAS!) No one asked you… *ahem* and everyone was peacefully asleep. Well almost everyone… Koa, the secret Greeed Kurai, was tossing and turning in her bed. She was in a dark place, where a monster with a purple visor was destroying her friends.
"No… No!" Koa ran towards them but she wasn't moving, "STOP!"
She watched the monster kill her friends one by one, starting with Ruby. Koa struggles and screams in sorrow as the others were slowly killed. When Orpheus was next the monster held him by the neck.
"NO! PLEASE! Not him!" Koa begged the monster. The monster turned to her as it stabs Orpheus in the heart, "NOOOOO!"
Koa fell to her knees in sorrow, as the monster walked towards her. The shadows parted and standing in front of poor Koa… was Kurai.
"You cannot fight your destiny…" Kurai said with a hiss, "YOU ARE A GREEED, CREATED BY OUR MASTER!" The Greeed grabs Koa's shocked face as the visor glowed brighter, "NEVER FORGET WHAT YOU ARE!"
Koa screamed as she woke up, breathing heavily. She looked at her hands, trembling as she hugged herself.
'What… I am.' Koa thought to herself.
LINE BREAK
The next day…
In Professor Oobleck's (I SAID IT'S DOCTOR!) Ok! Ok! Doctor Oobleck's classroom, the good doc was running across the classroom speaking at a hundred miles an hour as he discussed today's lesson. Some of the students were listening intently like Weiss, Kurogasa, and Orpheus while others were either spacing out or had fallen asleep. "Now then, would anyone like to tell me of the greatest battle that occurred during the great war?"
Koa was looking at her notepad, which had no notes for she was lost in thought. Last night's bad dream weighed heavily on her mind, so much she didn't pay attention to the fast doctor who called her name.
"MISS KOA!"
"Eeep!" Koa stood up straight and stiff as a piece of wood. "Yes, sir!" She squeaked.
"I called you three times, now what is the answer?" Dr. Oobleck inquired.
"Um… Uh, I uh…" Koa stutters to come up with an answer. "I… I'm sorry sir. I don't know. I will find out." She slumped her shoulders with her head hung down in defeat.
"I would like to speak with you after class," Oobleck said after much thought.
"Is she okay…?" Kurogasa muttered to Orpheus. "She's been like this ever since after the concert."
Orpheus looks to Koa concerned, "I'm not sure." Orpheus said, "and it bothers me."
LINE BREAK
Much later, Koa was in the training hall practicing her swordplay more aggressively than usual. She was slicing through the dummies quickly, adding powerful kicks. She stopped, breathing heavily as she looked down again. Orpheus watched from the entrance, concerned for her.
"... I know you're staring at me." Koa said with a sigh.
Orpheus blushed in surprise and embarrassment as he rubbed the back of his neck. "Sorry about that," He apologized as he approached her. "What's going on, Koa? You've been acting weird ever since the concert was over."
"...I've had a nightmare." Koa explained, "I saw myself killing your friends and… even you, saying that I mustn't forget who I truly am."
Orpheus looked at the girl, surprised. "So is that why you've been acting strange?"
"I'm sorry…" She apologized, looking down in shame. "I didn't want you to worry…"
Orpheus pulled Koa into a hug. "You don't have to hide anything from me. If something is bothering you then just talk to me, I promise that I'll never judge you."
"Can you make that promise to your friends?" Koa asked, "I feel that they would judge me more than anyone."
Orpheus flinched, looking away.
Koa didn't even bother making a statement, the comfort she received from the young man was all that she wanted at the moment.
LINE BREAK
Azrael was brooding, looking for a perfect host to make an Alter. He needed one that would be strong enough to bring his traitorous creation back to him.
The hooded man scanned through a variety of suitable candidates but each one didn't have the traits he was looking for. He needed someone that was powerful. Someone that even the Riders would have trouble fighting. Someone who could practically be invincible…
Suddenly, a flash of realization crossed Azrael's mind as he stopped on one particular photo that detailed just the host he needed for his latest Alter. "Yes… this one will do perfectly." He said with a dark chuckle.
As he continued to laugh, the light began to linger on a familiar red-haired girl with green eyes and dressed in Greek warrior attire. He smirked as the purple energy covering his hands, creating three purple Cell Medals. "Find my creation." He told the Medals, "Force her out of hiding." He tossed them, sending them flying towards their target. "Now all I have to do is meet with this girl and give her an offer she can hardly refuse."
LINE BREAK
Koa was sitting outside Beacon, looking at the sky. She was unaware that her friends were watching her. Koa sighed, thinking if she should tell them the truth about who she truly is.
'What am I going to do?' Koa thought.
"Should we really be standing here and just watch her like this?" Ruby asked her friends.
"Well, we can't exactly just walk up and ask her what's wrong. She might dodge our questions." Weiss pointed out.
"She's acting more like Blake than normal," Yang added much to Blake's annoyance.
"And what's that supposed to mean?" Blake frowned. Yang blushed and stuttered.
"I'm worried about her," Jaune said, concerned.
"Oh! Let's throw her a pancake party!" Nora suggested with a line of drool dripping down her chin.
"Nora that's something that would cheer you up." Ren sighed, "You're drooling, by the way."
"Koa…" Pyrrha said with concern. Meanwhile, the other Riders were talking about Koa whilst walking out of the academy.
"I'm worried about Koa." Orpheus stated, "Even though we've all gotten close, she still feels like we don't trust her."
"Well to be fair, she has only been with us for so long," Orion said.
Kurogasa said nothing as the group walked.
Aaron glanced at the musician, "Orpheus, she seems to trust you most so if she's got any problems then wouldn't she go to you if she has them?"
"She… still isn't fully open to me." Orpheus said with a sigh. As the group kept walking they saw something flying towards them from a distance.
"What's that?"
The group's eyes widened when they saw it was the three purple Cell Medals.
"Oh, no!" The Riders exclaimed in unison. In an instant, one flew around Aaron whilst the other headed towards their dorm. The single Cell Medal then flew into Aaron, taking the Riders by surprise. The two Cell Medals returned, and the third flew out of Aaron to reveal the Kame Medal.
"Hey! Give that back!" Aaron swiped at the thieving Cell Medals. The Medals dodged and flew past them. Orpheus saw their direction and paled, realizing who they were going to. He quickly ran after them, hoping to stop them.
"Orpheus, wait for us!"
The three other Riders ran after him, catching up to him as they followed the trail of purple energy. To their horror, they saw the Medals heading straight for Koa.
"Koa, move!" Orpheus called out to the girl. Koa turned, but it was too late. Like a bullet, they went straight into her, causing her to gasp in pain as the energy caused her to fall to her knees. She screamed as purple markings streaked across her entire body. Teams RWBY and JNPR ran up to the Riders in shock and horror.
"What's happening to her?!" Blake questioned, afraid for the girl that was currently squirming in pain.
"I don't know! I've never seen anything like this before!" Aaron replied, equally frantic.
Koa screamed as the markings carried her former Master's voice, saying one single order.
"Reveal your true form!" The voice of Azrael echoes in her mind.
"NOOOOO!" Koa screams at the top of her lungs as she began changing into Cell Medals with an orange glow. Then began to take form, with hair made of cobra tails and a single head on the side of a helm. The back widened as it became a sturdy shell armor. The arms and legs became crocodilian, with black spiked bracelets and anklets, as a green visor shone brightly. Koa had once again become her true form, the Desert Combo Greeed, Kurai. She looked upon herself in horror, looking at her hands before turning to her friends.
Teams RWBY, JNPR, and even the other members of JOKR were all looking at the girl they once believed to be Koa was actually the Greeed that had caused them so much trouble.
"No way!" Jaune exclaimed in denial.
"This is a bad dream! It has to be!" Ruby grabbed her head, shaking it as she didn't want to believe that the girl she befriended was the awful monster who made her hurt her friends.
"I knew it! I freaking knew it!" Kurogasa snarled as he glared venomously at the Greeed. "I knew you were that monster!"
"It wasn't…" Kurai said trying to hide from their gaze, "It wasn't supposed to be like this…"
"Lies! This was all another trick to lower our guard!" Kurogasa yelled.
Aaron narrowed his eyes, "Well, we'll fix that after we take you down, Kurai!"
Kurai trembled, her body crawling into her turtle armor in shame.
Orpheus stood in front of the Greeed with his arms spread out to defend her, "Stop! She's not to blame or anything!"
"Orpheus?! You knew what she was?!" Weiss said incredulously.
The auburn-haired musician looked down, feeling guilty for having lied to his friends but he gave them a small glare and replied, "Yes, I did…"
"How. Long." Aaron demanded, his glare burning a hole deep into his teammate's soul.
"Since I brought her back wounded," Orpheus answered.
"I knew it!" Kurogasa shouted. "I knew you were Kurai! I told you all, but you wouldn't listen to me!"
"Please, guys! She's not the same as before! She's changed!" The musician tried to reason with his friends.
"After what she did to us!? Fat chance of that happening!" Orion snapped.
"...I'm sorry Orpheus," Kurai said from her shell. The shell then began to spin around until it began drilling into the ground, "It was truly fun while it lasted."
"Koa, wait! Don't go!" Orpheus cried out, hoping to stop her. But it was too late, and she was gone, leaving only a deep hole in her wake.
"Orpheus Rhythm, you and I are gonna have a long talk," Aaron said coldly.
"With all of us," Kurogasa added.
LINE BREAK
"WHAT THE HELL WERE YOU THINKING!?" Kurogasa yelled as it was just Team JOKR in their Rider Base, all locked up, away from the eyes and ears of the outside world.
"She was hurt and scared! What was I supposed to do, just leave her to die?!" Orpheus retorted.
"Exactly what you should have done!" Aaron snapped. "She is a Greeed! A monster that does whatever it takes to fulfill their desires! Even if it meant making friends and then backstabbing them later!"
"She was different!" The musician countered.
"Oh, this I gotta hear..." Orion said with heavy sarcasm.
"You saw how she reacted! You all know how she felt! You've all laughed with her! You supported her!"
"That was before we found out, dipshit! She could have been lying to us!" Kurogasa snapped.
Orpheus stood up from his seat in anger, "What the hell was she supposed to do, you little shit! You were ready to kill her without a second glance!"
"BECAUSE I SAW THROUGH HER LIES! I KNEW WHO SHE WAS!" Kurogasa shot back. "I gave her the benefit of the doubt, but no, today she proved me wrong!"
"Only because Azrael still wants control over her!"
"The fact of the matter is…" Aaron interjected. "You lied to us, Orpheus. You knew who she was and didn't even think to tell us. Why?"
"You know why," Orpheus replied with a glare. "And I don't see why any of you should be judging her! Did you forget that there were other monsters from Kamen Rider that didn't really want to attack humans or even wanted to fight!?"
"That's not the point!" Orion snapped. "The point is, you deliberately let the enemy in, without thinking of the consequences that would come to us! You should have told us right away! And maybe, just MAYBE we would have heard you out and worked out something! But you didn't do that!"
"Maybe she deserved a better life without people like us harassing or abusing her!" Orpheus said with a glare, "In all cases and points, she's just like Blake."
"Don't you dare bring her into this!" Aaron spat. "Blake may be hiding her Faunus heritage but that's different! She didn't go out of her way to murder and destroy!"
"Kurai was changing! I saw it- No, I felt it! She was learning how to be human. She was happy! She finally had something that no one would be able to experience if they grew up like her!"
"You can't be serious!" Orion said exasperated. "Monsters like her don't change like that unless it's for their own selfish benefits!"
"...If you three truly believe that," Orpheus said with a hard glare, "Then you're no better than Azrael."
"The hell is that supposed to mean?" Kurogasa asked.
"You're treating Kurai- No, Koa like she doesn't mean anything to you guys anymore! You're treating her like she's not a person but an object!" The musician spat, "Just like her creator who tossed her out like a used rag doll."
This silenced the three. "I'm sorry what?" Aaron asked. "Tossed out by Azrael?"
Orpheus looked down, "It was because of us. We kept beating her and foiling Azrael's plans. I'm guessing saving Ruby and taking out that alternate form of hers was the final straw."
The three were still silent, "She wasn't sent to fight a warrior's death with us, not executed by other monsters, nor even worth his time to kill her. She was left in an alley to die alone."
"When you put it like that… now I feel like an asshole." Orion said with a look of guilt.
"Goddammit…" Kurogasa groaned loudly before walking over to the door and opening it before looking at them. "Well? What are you standing around for?!"
"Eh?" Orpheus looked confused at his partner.
"We're looking for her, aren't we?"
"We'll cover more ground if we split up," Aaron suggested.
"You guys-"
"Save it," Kurogasa said. "We're all still kicking your balls when this is over."
"What is it with you and balls?" Orion deadpanned at the samurai.
"Just shut up and let's go!" Kurogasa shouted before storming out of the base.
"I'll call the others and tell them to help in the search!" Aaron said while taking out his scroll.
Orpheus smiled at his teammates and nodded. "Right!"
LINE BREAK
It was the dark of night, as Kurai was by herself in an abandoned playground. She sat down, drawing in the dirt a picture of her and her friends with her clawed finger. She finished the drawing, only to sob as she leaned against an old slide. She had lost the greatest friends she could ever make, and it was all because of her and her unsightly appearance.
She was unaware that Blake had tracked her here, ready to finish her off. Blake charged at Kurai and slashed at her as she rolled away in surprise and terror.
"Leave me alone!" Kurai begged, going back into her shell, "I've paid the price!"
"Not after what you did to my friends! To Ruby! To my brother!" Blake snarled as she prepared to attack the Greeed once again. She struck the shell multiple times, but only sparks flew off the hard armor. "Come out here and fight me!"
"Just stop… stop… please… I just don't want to die…" Kurai sobbed. This made Blake grow annoyed and impatient as she gripped her weapon tightly.
"I said, get out here and fight me! You lied to us! You hid your true self from us! Why!? TELL ME WHY!" The Faunus in hiding demanded.
"Because Azrael left me to die! He discarded me! Abandoned me! Because your brother and his team kept beating me!"
"LIAR!" Blake yelled, "You're only using my brother as an excuse, you coward!"
This made something snap inside Kurai. Blake raises her arm to attack again, but it was grabbed by Kurai in a tight grip.
"Hypocrite…" Kurai muttered.
"Huh?" Blake said dumbfounded.
"You call me a coward…? Speak for yourself, scaredy-cat." Kurai said as she crawled out of her shell. The cat Faunus flinched in both fear and shock as the Greeed stood over her while keeping a tight grip on her arm, preventing her from slashing with Gambol Shroud. Blake tried to act tough, trying to pull her arm away as she glared at Kurai.
"You don't know me, monster!"
"Who are you to judge me for hiding, Blake?!" Kurai shouted, pulling Blake to the ground and pinning her, "You hide behind that little bow of yours. All so you could get away from those White Fang losers! Well, guess what honey? They're gonna come back to haunt you, and when they do, oh~ you know who will especially enjoy watching you suffer for your own mistakes."
Blake trembled as she tried to deny Kurai's words. "No, you won't-!"
"FACE IT! You think hiding will change what you are?! It won't, and the world will turn its back on you when push comes to shove. I know this, and I know you," Kurai said as tears flowed from her visor, "I KNOW YOU BECAUSE YOU'RE JUST LIKE ME! IN FACT, YOU ARE ME!"
"KOA!"
Kurai turned in shock as she heard the voices in the distance. She let go of Blake and began to run, leaving the cat Faunus to stare at the sky in shock.
"Blake, you okay?" Aaron asked with worry as he came to his sister's side. "What happened? Did she hurt you?"
Blake turned to Aaron, her eyes filling with tears before she leaned up and hugged him.
"Blake?" The crimson-eyed fighter said in surprise as he held his crying sister. "What's wrong?"
"She's just like me…" Blake choked out in her sobs.
"Oh damn…" Aaron sighed. "Orpheus, go. We got this."
Orpheus nodded, as he and Pyrrha followed the trail of the distraught Greeed.
LINE BREAK
The two followed the Greeed to a nearby harbor, before losing her.
"LEAVE ME ALONE!" Kurai's voice echoed around the area.
"Koa, please come back!" Orpheus pleaded with her. "It's alright! No one will hurt you anymore!"
"Koa please, listen to him!" Pyrrha begged.
"HOW CAN YOU SAY THAT?!" Kurai shouted.
"Koa, I'm sorry about how we reacted!" The redheaded girl apologized. "We were scared and we were living in the past! We pushed the memories we had with you as friends and replaced them with the kind that haunted and scarred us. We didn't even take into account how you would feel!"
"Can you even say things would change?!" Kurai said. She suddenly appeared behind the two, scaring them as she loomed over them on all fours. "You think things would go back to what they were?! They'll never forgive and they'll never forget the reality of what you see! There's no changing what I am!"
Orpheus looked down to the ground with a sad expression. "It's true… There's no changing what you are…" His hands slowly morphed into fists as he tightened his grip to the point the fabric in his gloves began to squeak with effort. "But! That shouldn't mean you have to go back to the way you were before! We can't change the past, I know that! However, we can decide how we progress in the present!"
Kurai looked down, thinking about his words. Suddenly, the three heard slow clapping from a familiar dark figure.
"My, oh my," The voice of Azrael echoed as the hooded villain appeared out of the darkness. "What a wonderful speech. It was so sweet that it turned my stomach."
"Azrael…" Orpheus growled.
"Hello again, young Rider. Ah! And I see you've brought your cousin and that piece of trash as well." Azrael said with a sickeningly sweet tone of voice.
"YOU!" Kurai shouted as she pointed, "You made me change back into this form!"
The hooded man tilted his head, seemingly confused, "Is there something wrong? I mean, that is your true form after all. Nothing more than a hideous monster." He said with small bits of teasing. Kurai roared as she sped past the two to send a fist towards Azrael. The hooded man frowned as he snapped his fingers, causing the purple markings to once again appear on the Greeed's body, causing her to scream in pain as she gripped her chest.
"Koa!" Orpheus and Pyrrha cried out in unison.
"Such a disappointment you turned out to be…" Azrael remarked as he casually stepped towards the squirming Kurai. "Even when I toss you away, you just don't know how to DIE!" He says the last part by kicking the Greeed in the stomach. "Still, I suppose I should be thankful to you, at least. You brought me exactly who I was looking for."
Kurai tried to get up, but Azrael stepped on her back so hard, a crater formed. He turned to Orpheus and Pyrrha, who got ready to save Kurai.
"I wouldn't try anything if I were you. The Cell Medals in her body are slowly destroying her from the inside-out. Only I have the power to take them out." The villain stated.
"What the hell do you want, bastard?!" Orpheus growled.
"Nothing from you, boy," Azrael coldly dismissed before slowly gesturing to the girl beside him. "It's her that I'm here for."
"What?" Pyrrha gasped.
"Don't you dare touch her!" Orpheus snapped.
The hooded man pressed down on Kurai's back, earning a cry of agony from her, forcing Orpheus to pause. "That's right. Be a good little boy and stay right there." He ordered before turning his yellow eyes upon Pyrrha. "Now then, here is my offer… You will become my next Alter and you will do so willingly. Or I will kill this piece of trash beneath my boot."
"And why… would I do that?" Pyrrha scowled at him.
"D… Don't worry about me!" Kurai said in pain, "Just stop him at any cost."
Azrael ignored his struggling yet weak creation and focused on the Spartan girl, "To put it simply, I require a new attack dog. One who is practically untouchable and unstoppable. You fit the bill, Pyrrha Nikos."
"She's not helping you!" Orpheus said adamantly.
"Hm… In that case…" Azrael said then in the blink of an eye, shot a blast of dark energy at the musician, who had no time to react as it struck him in the chest… and pierced right through his flesh. Orpheus's eyes went wide with shock as he looked down at the smoking hole that was dead center through his torso before he collapsed on his back.
"ORPHEUS!" Pyrrha and Kurai cried out.
"Now then, what's it going to be Pyrrha Nikos? Your moment of truth. All of this could be over if you become my Alter. Do that, and I will heal your friend and free Kurai. Of course if not, both of them will die."
"I… I…" Pyrrha got out. The choking gasps of her cousin, as well as the pained cries of the Greeed, seemed to make her decision for her.
BITE! DRACONIC FANG!
"HYAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH!" Kamen Rider Shiro's war cry echoed as he descended towards Azrael with his own Rider Kick. The hooded man clicked his tongue in annoyance before he vanished into black smoke, making the dragon-based Rider miss his mark.
"Give my offer some thought, Miss Nikos!" Azrael's voice echoed. "I will give you twelve hours. By then, even with Vale's medical technology, your cousin's life will be forfeit. Best make up your mind soon." He then hefted Kurai, who has gone unconscious, from her shell. "Until then…" With that said, the hooded villain had vanished along with Kurai.
"GET BACK HERE!" Kurogasa shouted, but it was no use. He then rushed over to his partner. "Hang in there Orpheus, I got ya!" He said, holding him and pressed a glyph on his Elemental Glove.
SUI!
Water trickled on Orpheus's wounds, but it wasn't healing properly. "C'mon, c'mon, work!"
A wet cough left the musician's mouth along with some blood, splattering his clothes and even getting some on his friends.
Pyrrha backed up and stared at the blood of her cousin in horror. The sight of it made her sick to her stomach but she forced the bile down despite the overwhelming urge to wash her hands that had been coated in red.
"Sweet Oum above! What the heck happened!" A cry echoed as the rest of Teams JOKR, RWBY, and JNPR found them. The girls, Jaune, and Ren were naturally horrified to find their friend in such a terrible state but Aaron and Orion were downright furious to see their teammate wounded.
Aaron dropped to the musician's side, checking the damage. "His lungs and heart are damaged! He needs a hospital! NOW!"
"He's bleeding all over the place! He'll die before we get him help!" Orion shouted.
"Kuro, use some fire to seal the wound. It should stem the bleeding until we can get him to a doctor!" Aaron ordered.
Pyrrha thought back to Azrael's offer as they tried to get him to a hospital.
LINE BREAK
Screams echoed in Azrael's lair once again, as Kurai was suffering unimaginable pain. Her arms and legs were chained as Azrael kept using dark magic on her.
"T… They… will… stop you." Kurai spat before Azrael pinned her to the floor with magic.
"Of course they will, that's what they do. How all Kamen Riders behave in the name of justice. Unfortunately, that will eventually get them killed." The hooded villain coldly remarked. "Their predecessors experienced pain and trauma that no human being should ever experience yet it was that pain that makes them stronger. So… I intend to make sure that they feel that pain and when they are on the last clinging dregs of their humanity… I will snuff them out like a flame as all they hold dear is torn from their grasps and burned to ashes."
"NO!" Kurai yelled as she screamed in more pain. Azrael relished in his creation's torment as he smiled in cold triumph.
KRD: And scene! End of Part 1!
SR: And what a chapter it turned out to be! And be sure to drop in, to see what we have next. *pushes a button*
*KRD was unaware of the trap door that opened underneath him*
KRD: Huh… well, that's new. AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAARGH!
SR: I told you I'd get you back! *GKC pushes SR into the trap door as well, causing him to do a Goofy yell*
GKC: And with those two out of the way, we can now… ROLL THE CLIP!
Announcer: Jikai! Remnant's Climax Heroes!
Doctor: I'm afraid it's a lot worse than we thought. At this rate, even with his Aura, he won't make it.
Kurogasa: Pyrrha, you can't accept his offer. We all know where this is going.
Kurai: I… I will serve you again…
Pyrrha: My cousin means everything to me…
Next Time: Revelation! The Dark Falcon's Cry! Part 2
? ? ?:I shall grant you the Power of Compassion!
SR: How exciting!
GKC: Aye! Our new Aura Rider is just around the corner! Be sure to tune in to that, folks! But before we leave, I received a review that actually brought up a good question.
KRD: And that is?
GKC: How could Orpheus become Kamen Rider Lazer when he could only be Dark Riders?
SR: Oh yeah, that's definitely a good question.
GKC: Well, I suppose to answer that question would be because, during Ex-Aid, Lazer was working for the bad guys even if it was just a trick, in the end, he still helped commit crimes that would make him bad.
KRD: Plus, we can't break up the 4-man team in Ex-Aid anyways.
GKC: Yeah, so y'all can't get mad at us for wanting to bring out the Ex-Aid quartet!
Ruby: I still wanted to ride him!
GKC: And I said, NOOOOOOOOOOO!
Kurogasa: Never knew you were into lolis Orphee.
Orpheus: Look who's talking, Mr. Flat Chest Lover.
Kurogasa: At least she has a chest.
GKC: Uh, Ruby's chest is actually bigger than Weiss.
Kurogasa: At least I appreciate any size! Don't judge me!
SR was blushing red from the conversation.
GKC: Get out of my studio or I'll get Misora to cut you.
SR: *Ahem* In any case, uh… Stay tuned for the next Henshin.
GKC: Yeah… Peace out, everybody!
