Dragon Rider 66: Lightning Hornet shared its intro with another form, it didn't get the attention it deserved. It's more of a 'one at a time' thing. Remember that the Shotgun had a massive kickback for early Fuwa and he needed Punching Kong just to hold one. As funny as it was for the manga artist to draw only Fuwa's form, it just felt right to do it light this.
Spidey Viewer: Thanks for that. And yeah, it's a side of Manga that not many forms of media touch upon, except maybe 'Bakuman' (a manga made by the same people who wrote 'Deathnote'). And yes, Jin is a fan now.
Shooting Star Dragon 3000: Yep...He's going to Br34k_D0wn soon.
Drawman98: We've got plans for 'Little Assassin'.
Bahamut0: Yeah, it was also a way for *us* to vent too. Writing stories as big as these are hard.
Darthwolf: Then you're going to enjoy what we have planned for it.
MKDemiGodzilla-Warrior: Don't worry. We've got plans written down and ideas in our heads how to handle it.
HackerEX: Thank you, thank you. *bows*
Ushindi: 1) Kamen Rider Build's and Kamen Rider Zero-One's. They're mine, but most Rider shows don't have bad openings. 2) Underused and badly utilised.
Here are some reviews answered by our own GreyKing46:
furyuu: 'After everything he did'... He didn't DO anything. He dealer a few seiken and that was it
HackerEX: Thanks buddy.
Oct 13 c8Guest: We have ideas, yes.
LegionnaireBlaze: Mwahahahaha!
Shooting Star Dragon 3000: Not yet mate.
Dragon Rider 66: Because she had to share it with Jim's debut?
It summons ANY AttacheWeapon that Fuwa has access to
Not at all. I've seen it and it's not that much different than what we got, just erasing some of Touma's character and having pointless Rider drama.

It was a week later since the events with Mr Ishizumi and G-Pen, Aruto and Izu were walking to a school where they were checking in on some HumaGears that they had sold.
It was just an annual check-up, one Aruto insisted on doing himself... much to the confusion of the board.
They thought 'Why do you want to do this? It isn't the President's job to do this.' And various other comments.
But Aruto was insistent.
"President Aruto? May I ask why you were so passionate about this?" Izu asked.
"Because I want to see how much I can learn about the different jobs HumaGear have. First-hand experience is better than just 'reading data'." Aruto answered. "Besides, I want to see how the kids and HumaGear interact."
Izu's headset whirred as she heard that and understood. It was a step towards cohabitation between the two different beings.
The two passed through the gates of a school where they were greeted by a teacher and Principal. "Welcome, President Hiden. Thank you for coming to our school."
"No worries, sir." Aruto bowed.
"Would you like a look around of the grounds and classrooms?" The teacher asked.
"Sure."
The four walked into the school and looked around, seeing different classrooms having human and HumaGear teachers.
"Wow, it looks like people are having fun." Aruto commented.
"It's certainly been a process with some students learning from a HumaGear than a human; I'll be honest, Sir." The principal answered. "We have been using them to teach special groups of students."
"Oh, okay." Aruto nodded. "Has that been going well with everyone?"
"We believe so." Another teacher nodded. "The students have said that their teacher tailors their speech and mannerisms to fit their speed."
"Impressive, since most classrooms have upwards to thirty students." Izu commented.
"Again, the HumaGear have allowed us to have them deal with specialised classes." the principal explained "So, with the HumaGear teachers, we can have twice the classes with half the students in each."
"Where are these classes?" Aruto asked.
"Oh, this way." The principal answered, showing the way.
*Outside*
Jin was hiding outside the school, looking at the manga Aruto had given him.
It was...good. He didn't quite understand why humans enjoyed this, but...he was learning. He was looking at the pictures and read the words, this sort of thing stirred within him.
These characters were so... cool and fun!
"This is amazing, this manga...it's very nice." He smiled to himself, chuckling. "I love it!" As he reached the end, it ended on a 'to be continued' with Perfuman standing tall with his sword and allies by his side. "Awww!" He complained. Jin put the manga away in his coat, looking out to the school and wondering where he could find another friend.
... and he saw the happy kids.
He looked over and looked at the students, they were all having fun as they were just on break.
It made him feel... Happy?
He held his head as he felt this emotion surge through him, looking down at the group were talking to the HumaGear teacher who had just arrived.
"W-what?" He whispered as he looked at them in shock...this. This was...unity.
But... Didn't Horobi say that was impossible?
"It-it's impossible. He said. But...But it's there. Z-Zero-One and that HumaGear. Together. Those humans and the teacher!" Jin spoke, his mind racing, trying to comprehend it...and then...something inside him clicked. His normal brown eyes...flashed blue.
*With Aruto*
"This is simply amazing," Aruto commented as he saw the students enjoying themselves with the new teachers.
"That it is, President Aruto." Izu smiled.
The two of them looked out forwards, looking over the horizon as he imagined the next step towards Human and HumaGear relationships. And how humanity and HumaGear's would evolve.
"President Hiden, would you like something to eat from the cafeteria?" The principal asked.
"Huh? Oh, yeah, sure." He nodded.
The two of them turned around to follow; however, in Aruto's mind, he was thinking about Jin. And how he was trying to help him, how he could...at least try and stop him from destroying everything.
He seemed like a little kid after all.
"I hope the food is okay, President Hiden. I'm sure it's not quite to your standard, but-" The teacher spoke.
"Don't worry about it. It'll be fine." He responded.
"The president actually lives a very minimalistic life." Izu informed.
"Is that right?" The teacher asked as they arrived.
"Yeah. I'm used to it." Aruto admitted.
*With AIMS*
CRASH!
"You done?" Yaiba asked through a speaker.
We were in a high-tech room, filled with dark blue metals. It was a large ten-foot-tall room that was roughly ten feet wide and twenty feet deep. Around the room were a series of blank HumaGear.
And in the centre of the room, on his ass, was Kamen Rider Vulcan.
"I will master this stupid thing!" he snapped, holding the AttacheShotgun in his grip.
"You said that the last time. You're going to break every bone in your body." Yaiba commented.
"As long as I can get this thing working, fine." he scoffed and stood tall.
"Alright. One more time. Then I'm coming down there to take the Shotgun away from you." She warned him.
"Whatever." He scoffed as he got back up.
We rush through the facility, to an observation room where Yaiba was sat. She held her head in her hand, feeling exhausted since this was like beating one's head against a wall and expecting a different outcome.
It was admirable for the first half an hour.
Three hours in?
She had grown bored and almost fell asleep due to Fuwa's growls and crashes.
She was hoping to get some of her own training done today.
"Ms Yaiba, we've collected the data you made in your 'Lightning Hornet' form." An AIMS member spoke up coming through the door.
"Hand it over." she ordered calmly.
The person nodded and handed over the data on a tablet. "Your data showed that you were impressive for using it the first time."
"I could've done better." She answered, looking at the results.
Not precisely at her own data, however.
Bweep
She had data on Aruto's newest form, his 'Flaming Tiger'.
"It isn't an entire change of armour and power." she mumbled "Not like the ShotRiser system. It is not a sidegrade, but a full upgrade. Keeping the base Rising Hopper stats and abilities... but increasing them? Adding the extra keys unique stats and extra abilities. How? Is it the keys he uses... or the Driver?"
She looked at the data, looking at the form...his Driver. She had never seen such a design before. What was Aruto?
It was... unique like she had never seen.
*Elsewhere, DayBreak*
Horobi was on his own, typing away at the computer. It was quiet. Not that he minded. But Jin had gone out for hours now.
He was worried.
'Where has he gone? Is he okay?' These were some of the thoughts that were going through his mind.
Maybe it was time to start up the Ark's new warrior earlier, to retrieve Jin.
He looked at the Zetsumirise Key in the downloader and pulled it out. Sure, the data wasn't fully calibrated, and it had time to grow...but what better way to bring Jin home?
*At Hiden Intelligence*
The board were discussing important business, all to do with the profits and the sales of the latest HumaGears that were sold. And some minor discrepancies that needed to be looked at. As well as the confusion of their new president.
"So, the President, who is -supposed- to be here...is out doing evaluation work?" A member of the board asked.
"Considering it is good PR for us, it does say something about him." Another member responded.
"Yes, 'President Hiden neglecting his duties'." One dismissively responded.
"I don't think so. We know President Hiden's history." Mr Yamashita answered.
"Specifically, when HumaGear is involved. It may be in the company's interest to reveal it." Another member added "His family and medical."
"Would that be a breach of confidence?" The first asked.
"President Hiden is a grown man. He'll understand." Mr Fukuzoe answered seriously.
"Sir. May I point out the legal backlash such action may cause?" Shesta pointed out.
Mr Fukuzoe sighed as Shesta's words rang true. "Trust you to point that out, Shesta." He admitted.
"Just doing my job, sir." She bowed.
The board looked at each other and understood what Shesta warned him about...and decided to drop the issue. "Very well...we won't press into or reveal President Hiden's history."
"Onto the next business..." Mr Yamashita spoke as he pulled out a document.
*With Jin*
How did this happen? No one knew if they were asked.
...
Somehow Jin had ended up playing with the students during the break.
"Yoh! Pass it over!" A student cheered as they were open, to which Jin tossed a basketball over to the open student.
"Here!" Jin called out with a smile on his face.
"Great pass!" The team cheered.
"Haha!" Jin laughed in joy.
"Come on, come on!"
Fwoop!
"Yes!" Jin and the team cheered as they had scored a point, passing the ball to the opposite team.
"We did it!" he cheered, the group performing high fives with one another.
Jin...was having a great time. Was this what it meant to be 'human'? These humans were nice. They were fun. These were the types of people that Ark wanted to kill?
"Jin?!"
Jin blinked and turned around seeing him, shocked to see Zero-One here...though he had the Zetsumiriser and the Zetsumetsu Key on hand, he didn't want to fight. "H-H-Hi!" He squeaked.
Aruto looked at the situation, seeing the students stop their match as they saw Jin and this older person seeing each other. "Jin, do you know this guy?" One of the students asked.
"Y-Yes. I do." He responded.
"What're you doing here?" Aruto asked.
"Um...Basketball." Jin answered.
...
"That it?"
"Yes." He nodded, quickly turning to the students. "Excuse me."
"No problem, go talk to your brother." The student spoke, thinking that they were the same age and they knew each other.
"Brother?"
'Do they think that?' Aruto thought to himself as he saw Jin walk over.
"H-Hey." Jin mumbled as he stood next to him.
"Hi...Do you want to talk in private?" He asked.
"Okay." he nodded, his head low like a child being told off by their parent.
The two walked off to a secluded space by the main building where Aruto looked at Jin in confusion. "What're you doing here?"
"Reading? And playing?" Jin commented.
Aruto blinked and then chuckled with a smile. "I guess...even bad guys can have a sense of relaxation."
"I'm not the bad guy!" Jin huffed.
Aruto wanted to make a comeback against that, he stopped for a minute. "Why'd you say that? You've been turning HumaGear into Magia."
"I... We are liberating them! That's what Horobi said." Jin muttered, again like a child who was being told off.
"Jin." Aruto spoke softly, not telling him off, but talking to him like an acquaintance...maybe even a friend. "The Magia you've 'liberated' have been attacking and killing people. They're being corrupted."
"No! I set them free! Horobi said so!" He huffed.
"Jin. You took their free will and enslaved them." Aruto frowned sadly.
"That-that's not true. I've been. I've done what Horobi said. He's...he's always right." Jin answered.
"Is he?" Aruto frowned.
"I...H-He's been...right before. He's always told me that he's right." Jin frowned, leaning on the wall and holding his head. "I...I don't know anymore." He slumped down, holding his head.
...
"Jin." Aruto said kneeling in front of him. "Talk to me. About everything. Please?"
Jin looked at Aruto, saddened eyes. "H-Horobi won't like it."
"I want to help." Aruto answered.
"...Okay. Okay. I'll tell you." Jin muttered. "MetsuBou JinRai. We work for the Ark. We follow its will. It talks to Horobi and tells us what we need to do."
Aruto began to take this all on board, with Izu listening on the side as she compiled and stored it away for further use.
"He said... that using these... we would free HumaGear from human control. Because they are bad. Controlling HumaGear and using them as tools." Jin explained further while holding out the Zetsumariser and the Berotha Key.
Aruto's eyes widened and gulped as he saw the Key and Riser...He had them on hand already. "You say that but...didn't it occur to you that...some HumaGears were happy?"
"They could be?" Jin blinked in shock.
...
That shocked Aruto to the core. That... That naivete and innocence.
This wasn't just some cybernetic terrorist wanting to 'free HumaGears from the tyranny of humans'. Jin was just a kid, brought up to believe only one thing.
That whatever Horobi said was the truth.
He was literally an innocent, not being shown anything outside whatever this Ark wanted.
"Jin. Let me help you. I can show you that there are other ways." Aruto spoke, offering his hand to help him up.
"I... But Horobi wouldn't lie!" Jin yelled, "A-And-And If-If he is lying then-then you might be too!"
"I don't think it's lying if you were just told the same thing as him." Aruto answered, backing up a little.
"Y-You mean...Ark...Lied to us?" Jin asked in confusion, holding his head. "But, but HumaGears were controlled. Weren't controlled."
"No." Izu suddenly spoke.
"Have? Have I been wrong? Is MetsuBou JinRai all wrong?!" He asked before screaming, holding his head.
"President Aruto!" Izu called out, helping him get back.
"Jin!" Aruto called out in worry to him and realised what was going on... so he pulled Jin into a hug.
"H-Huh?" Both Jin and Izu gasped as they saw this...especially Jin.
"It's alright, Jin." He reassured him as he remembered what his father did, all those years ago.
"Wh-what are you-?"
"It's alright. I know you're scared about all this." Aruto reassured as he rubbed his back softly.
"My-my whole world is wrong. I...I can't think." He responded, his eyes flittering colours a little.
"Wait..." Izu blinked and saw the flickering eyes "You are a HumaGear?"
"What?" Aruto asked in shock, pulling back as he saw Jin's eyes, which Izu proved right. "You're a HumaGear?"
"Yes?" he blinked.
"Then...all this time. Does that mean Horobi is one too?" Aruto asked.
"Yeah, he is." He nodded.
"What... is this Ark?" Izu asked, her eyes flashing and rushing through internet and HIDEN's archives... Nothing.
"Ark...is Ark. He's the one who made us. Made MetsuBou JinRai. He makes the Keys. Made the Risers." Jin answered.
"This is loony." Aruto muttered.
"Loony?" Izu asked, unsure about the word before she looked it up.
"I know." Jin answered. "I thought...I thought I was doing good."
"I get that's what you thought, Jin. But...Horobi's way isn't the right way." Aruto responded.
"It's the only way I know...I. I've got to go." Jin frowned, feeling his head hurt.
"You don't have to." Aruto urged "You can stay here. Relax. Calm down and clear your head."
"But-But-" Jin stuttered.
"Just call down. It's okay." Aruto smiled, and patted Jin's head. "It's okay."
*Elsewhere*
"Hmm... It seems systems are all complete." Horobi stated, looking at Ark's newest creation.
Waking up from a system chair was a shaggy black-haired HumaGear with a QR code symbol on his forehead, but just slightly to the right, wearing a black button shirt with black trousers, belt-styled bracers over his shoulders, brown eyes, the white headset of HumaGears, black trousers and shoes and black leather gloves. Its eyes opened and looked around, looking a little stiff in his movements. "Online." He spoke robotically and simply.
"Assasin unit." Horobi said, putting a Zetsumariser and red Zetsumarise Key into his hand "Your mission is to locate and retrieve Jin."
"Rescue Jin." The 'Assassin Unit' responded, taking the Key and Zetsumariser in his hands and nodded. "Assassinate." He added, like a verbal tic.
"No, don't assasinate!" Horobi snapped.
The Assassin Unit's headpieces glowed for a moment and nodded. "Understood." He answered and left. "Assassinate."
Horobi held back the urge to facepalm, growling softly.
*elsewhere*
We see Yua Yaiba in a locker room, getting changed and ready to enter the high-tech shooting range. "Fuwa's probably going to have destroyed the shotgun by now." She mumbled to herself as she looked at herself in the mirror, pulling on a jumpsuit.
Ziiiip!
"Alright, let's do this." She told herself.
She was wearing a skin-tight orange jumpsuit that covered her from the neck down and had a series of diamond-shaped cheetah-like spots over the jumpsuit. The outfit also had brown wrist-length gloves and ankle-high boots plus a pair of sunglasses with orange lenses.
It was a new outfit given to her by her boss for training. It did make her feel very uncomfortable, but the material was VERY stretchy, and it was apparently filled with micro-sensors that would pick up every aspect of her performance. How quick and precise her eyes locked on her target, her breathing speed, how her muscles reacted during movements and a billion other micro-factors. It seems like a very useful tool at face value, although it also felt like a MASSIVE invasion of privacy.
She rolled her shoulders to limber up and flexed her fingers. She was going to try this out.
Hopefully, Fuwa was gone and no one else would see her in this.
As she approached the training room; Fuwa came out, almost hobbling from exhaustion and the constant recoil from the Attache Shotgun.
...
"What... are you wearing?" Fuwa blinked as he saw her, the two freezing.
Tick.
Tick.
Tick.
"New...training suit." She answered. "Lost the feeling in your hands?" She looked at his shaking joints.
"Just... a little." he grumbled, looking away with a frown "You'll catch your death of cold in that." he commented
"It's insulated enough." She answered. "Remember to put that away." And walked into the training hall.
"You trying to show off for the President?" He snickered weakly.
Yaiba froze as she heard that, feeling a deep horrible crawl up her back and then followed up by a clenched fist and then a quivering lip. Disgust and embarrassment across her face as she was conflicted by what Fuwa said.
"I'm sure President Hiden would lose his innocent mind and pass out seeing you like that." Fuwa continued snickering.
drip
"O... O-Oh! P-President Hiden. You were talking about President Hiden." Yaiba mumbled and coughed, covering herself up and feeling a bit relieved.
"Who'd you think I was talking about?" Fuwa questioned, though not expecting an answer.
"President Hiden is naive and kinda cute. But I don't think he is my type." Yaiba commented, brushing her hair behind her ear.
"You might want to reconsider that. Not many decent guys around your age like him." Fuwa shrugged. "But hey, don't listen to this old man."
"You're not that old." she commented, being genuine with her comment.
"Older than you by just over a decade." he smirked.
WHOO! WHOOM! WHOOM!
"A Magia?" the two blinked.
A member of AIMS came out and called out to them, seeing them right there. "Fuwa! Yaiba! A Magia's been sighted!"
"Let's go." The two nodded.
*With Aruto*
"Are you feeling better?" Aruto asked Jin as they had time to calm down.
"Yeah. I'm...I feel much better." He nodded.
"I have a question, Jin." Izu asked.
"What is it?" He responded.
"Why did you go after President Aruto's Falcon Key?" She inquired.
"Oh... Because I wanted to transform too!" He said in excitement "But Horobi said I had to steal a key." He mumbled.
"So...you wanted to rise with Tori?" Aruto quipped unintentionally.
"Pbbttt!" Jin snorted as he heard the joke. "You're so funny!" Jin giggled.
"Ha..." Aruto gasped happily as he heard that. Someone found his jokes funny. And a HumaGear to boot! "Thank you." He was actually holding back tears at the moment.
"President Aruto?" Izu asked, looking at him in concern.
"Sorry, Izu. Just enjoying the moment." He answered. "This is... Really good and special."
"Wait, is it?" Jin asked, finishing his laugh.
"Hmm. Yeah. Ahem." Aruto cleared his throat. "It's been a large part of my life to be a comedian."
"Wow! You must be really popular then!" Jin blinked.
"Jin." Aruto said confidently with stars in his eyes "I am officially adopting you as my brother!"
...
"Huh?/!" Jin and Izu blinked in shock, Jin screaming a tiny bit.
"President Aruto, are you serious?" Izu asked her eyes widened in shock as she heard that with Aruto just grinning at them.
"Target located, Jin." A voice said from behind them, making the group freeze in confusion. "Assasinate."
"What?" Aruto turned around and saw the HumaGear there looking at them.
DODO!
...
"Aaaahhhh!" Jin screamed as he saw the HumaGear and ran.
"Jin!" Aruto called out as the HumaGear slotted the Key into the Zetsumiriser around his waist.
The Magia slammed the size of the Riser and began to transform.
Z̴͔̚E̸͕͆T̸̺͆S̶̬͒Ů̶̗M̴͖̌Ẹ̸͠R̴͔̽I̸̻͝S̷̻̈́Ȅ̴͙
"HAAAAAAA!" The Magia roared, transforming in blood-red DNA and wiring as his features melted away...and his Headset remained blue. "DO...DO!" The Magia spoke darkly as it appeared in its new form.
Standing before Aruto and Izu, was a black body-suited Magia, a white chest-plate and shoulder-plates, bound in red wiring, grey bracers with red wiring as protective parts, red metal plating on its thighs and shins with silver bent metal that was riveted tight and loose, red bird-like claws for feet and silver talons. Its head that covered the whole of its neck to the top was a red dodo head with a silver beak protrusion, see-through reddish visor eyes just above the beak but in front of two blue lifeless dodo eyes and strapped together with the red and black wiring.
"... Okay, that thing is ugly." Aruto blinked.
"President Aruto, run!" Izu called out.
"Shouldn't I be telling you that?" he asked, slapping the ZeroOne Driver onto his waist, the two rushing after Jin.
"Assassinate." The Dodo Magia called out, running after them and seemingly quite quickly.
PROGRISE!
"Ugh!" Aruto grunted, raising his arm and blocking his foe's attack.
RISING HOPPER~!
A Jump To The Sky Turns Into A Rider Kick
"HA!" Aruto leapt into the air and, using the momentum, landed a punch on top of the dodo head only to be slashed across the chest and side. Aruto grunted as he felt the blades spark over his chest, as the 'Assassin Dodo' Magia held two blades, shaped like red wings as they left an 'X' gash on Aruto's armour. "I... Wow." He blinked, his fingers brushing the cuts.
"Assassinate. Collect Jin." The Dodo Magia spoke as they shinked and sliced the air with his blades.
BLADERISE!
"Ha!" Aruto called, slashing back.
Aruto's slash connected and struck against the two swords of the Dodo Magia, sparking and struggling against each other. This Magia was different to the others. It was in control. It wasn't just attacking wildly.
It was like he was trained.
'I need to hurry up.' he thought, trying to think of a way out of this...
FLAMING KABAN STRASH!
With a harsh slash, Aruto made a smokescreen to escape.
The Dodo Magia grunted, the smoke getting in its eyes as Aruto, Izu and Jin were nowhere to be seen. "ASSASINATE!"
*elsewhere*
Aruto, Izu and Jin were hiding away; that Magia was scary to them. Especially for Jin, he knew what it was...and it proclaiming 'assassinate' during the fight just added to that fear. "Horobi... Horobi is mad! He... He wants to get rid of me!"
"Why would he-?" Aruto panted in worry as he was about to ask. "He won't."
"Huh?" Jin asked.
"I won't let him hurt you." Aruto encouraged.
"How? You could barely hurt the Dodo Magia." Jin responded. "I...I have to hide."
"Because he caught me by surprise." Aruto assured "Trust me pal, I'll protect you!"
"President Aruto, do you have a plan?" Izu asked.
"I'll think of something, Izu." He reassured her as he pulled out the Flying Falcon key and gripped it tightly "I just hope Mr Fuwa and Ms Yaiba are on the way."
"I doubt that they would be far behind, President Aruto." She answered.
*Outside*
Teachers were leading the children to safety as the Dodo Magia attacked, slashing at the school.
"Quickly this way, children!" Teachers called out, trying to dodge the Magia and its attacks.
"ASSASSINATE!" The Magia called out angrily.
SCREECH!
Tires screeched to a halt as AIMS had arrived, both Fuwa and Yaiba looked on at this and gasped. Although Fuwa...he seemed stunned. Frozen in memory.
"Fuwa. We have to save them." Yaiba urged. "Fuwa-a-a-a..." Her voice trailed off as Fuwa stood there, seeing the attack on the school and children.
Flash!
Fuwa's mind flashed back to the time he was a teacher, seeing the destruction caused by DayBreak. The screams and fires. His fists tightened as his teeth clenched. "Yua. We're saving them."
BULLET!
"Of course."
DASH!
CLACK!
AUTHORISE!
Both Fuwa and Yaiba either forced open their Key or simply inserted them into their respective ShotRisers.
KAMEN! RIDER!
KAMEN! RIDER!
"HENSHIN!" Bother proclaimed, Yua rushing forwards as the bullets fired.
SHOTRISE!
RUSHING CHEETAH!
SHOOTING WOLF!
"Huh-?" The Dodo Magia turned as it heard the noises that weren't of fear and were struck out by Yaiba's fist to his face and soon shot by Fuwa's bullets, while the Wolf Rider was guiding people away.
Fuwa tapped something in his helmet, calling for AIMS. "We have civilians here, get an evacuation team now!" He ordered through a radio.
"Sir!" The AIMs soldiers responded, getting to work.
'Good job, Fuwa!' Yua thought as she kicked around the Dodo Magia, whose swords were dancing around her and trying to slice her limbs.
"Must collect Jin." The Dodo Magia spoke, glaring at Yua and Fuwa, still seeing them as his enemies and in the way of his mission.
"'Jin'?" Both AIMS Riders turned to him and were briefly shocked...which only furthered their aim right at the Magia and fired their bullets in its direction. "What the hell?!"
SLASH!
SLASH!
Yua leapt back and skidded on her shoes as she dodged out of the way from the slashing swords. "This isn't a normal Magia!"
"You think?" Fuwa snapped.
POWER!
THUNDER!
AUTHORISE!
SHOTRISE!
The bullets flew around, sparking and exploding around the Dodo Magia and then return to the Riders. Enhancing their forms and changed their designs.
PUNCHING KONG!
LIGHTNING HORNET!
One rushed into the air, wings of energy fluttering over them. Below the other slammed their fist into the ground, causing a shockwave.
The ground quaked as the Dodo Magia staggered, Yaiba unleashing her swarm of robot wasps at the Dodo. Red lightning sparked across his form as he glared at the wasps, frying them all quickly.
"Son of a-!" Fuwa growled, rushing in and punching the Dodo in the face.
The fast Magia moved quickly, Fuwa aiming the AttacheShotgun at the monster's stomach and opening fire. "Assass-?"
BANG!
"AAARGH!" The Magia screamed as it was blasted back...and Fuwa remained where he stood, feeling the full recoil but didn't move an inch.
"Damn..." Fuwa panted, holding the weapon tightly.
"How're you still standing with your arms intact?" Yaiba asked.
"Power." Fuwa answered simply.
WHOOSH!
FLYING~! FALCON~!
"HA!" Aruto called, kicking the Magia.
"Where the hell have you been?" Fuwa snapped.
"I was here earlier on other business!" Aruto called out. "Thanks for coming!"
"You didn't call us." Yaiba stated.
"Yeah, sorry about that." Aruto apologised, before flying-crashed into the Dodo Magia.
"You're copying me again?" she joked, the two flying side by side.
"You could say that. But I'd like to wing it!" Aruto quipped back.
"Cute." she smirked, tapping the button atop her key
THUNDER!
Click!
Aruto pushed the side of his Belt, hitting the Key and activating it as he aimed at the Magia.
The Dodo Magia looked up and slammed the Zetsumiriser's button to activate the Dodo's power.
At the same time, Yaiba flicked the trigger of her belt.
FLYING IMPACT!
LIGHTNING BLAST!
ZETSUMETSU NOVA!
Digitized energy flowed through all three of them, Aruto going from the top, Yua from the side and the Dodo Magia attacking with its two swords.
The two hit his swords, shattering them even as they went off course from the clash.
"Whoa-whoa!" Aruto called out, his feet still shaking from the impact while Yua was crouching strong.
"You okay over there?" Yua asked, turning to him.
"Yep! Yep, I'm good!" He answered, waving to her. "What about you?"
"I'm fine." She responded. "I don't think we've beaten him though."
"Yeah, no way." He laughed.
"Would you two move!" Fuwa called out, holding his shotgun and aimed at the Dodo Magia.
Progrise Key Confirmed! Ready To Utilize: Kong's Ability!
As one of the two flyers jumped high, the two zoomed into the sky.
PUNCHING KABAN SHOT!
"HAAA!" Fuwa proclaimed, shooting his weapon as his Kong Knuckles along with the bullet as it struck the Dodo Magia.
SMASH!
The Dodo was pushed back, grunting as he tried to resist the attack. "GRNNN! HAAAA!" It grunted loudly, struggling as its body was cracking and close to being destroyed.
...
And its wounds began to glow, repairing itself.
"What the hell?" Yua gasped in shock.
"Self-repair?!" Aruto gasped as he saw that.
"That is broken!" Fuwa roared as he ran in and smashed his fist into the Dodo's head, trying to smash it with his bare fists.
He gave a series of harsh and powerful of punches, the others getting into position.
"I got it." Yaiba commented, grabbing the ShotGun.
"Damn! Blasted! Bloody! MAGIA!" Fuwa roared, slamming his fists into the Dodo, though it was repairing itself while blocking the hits.
Aruto drew the AttachéCalibur and span the weapon, closing the weapon.
CHARGERISE!
CHARGERISE!
"Good call." She commented.
"Yeah." He smiled as he pulled out the Hopper Key.
BITRISE!
BYTERISE!
KILORISE!
Yellow and pink digital energy sparked and rushed around Aruto as he crouched, getting ready to rush forwards.
"Fuwa, move!" Yua called out as she readied the shotgun but he didn't, hitting the button on his belt.
POWER!
Kamen Rider Vulcan ripped the Dodo Magia off the ground, twisting around and slamming the Magia into the ground, before dragging him out of the ground.
P! U! N! C! H! I! N! G! B! L! A! S! T! F! E! V! E! R!
Throwing the Magia into the ground again, the Dodo Magia now between him and the other two Rider's. Large amounts of silver energy surrounded his fists, before he gave a powerful double punch to the Magia's chest.
PUNCHING BLAST FEVER!
"Anssa-" the Magia yelled in pain as it was sent flying towards Valkyrie and Zero One, rocketing towards the two via rocket fists.
Yaiba quickly slotted a Progrise Key into the weapon, ripping it open.
Progrise Key
FULL CHARGE!
Hornet's Ability!
L! I! G! H! T! N! I! N! G! K! A! B! A! N! B! U! S! T! E! R!
"HAAA!" Yua aimed and fired right at the Magia, striking it in the chest.
A large lightning blasted shaped like a needle rushed through the air, going right at the Dodo's chest. The Dodo Magia crossed its arms and began to tank the attack, the electricity sparking over its body as it was being penetrated by the needles.
LIGHTNING KABAN BUSTER!
The blast exploded through the Dodo Magia, making him yell in pain.
Finally, Aruto was rushing through the air, ripping the AttachéCalibur open.
FULL CHARGE!

"HRAAAA! HAAA!" Aruto flew and slashed horizontally as he passed, combining his AttacheCalibur and his forms finished power together to slice the Magia in its torso. It almost looked like it didn't hit as he passed, apart from a faint glowing white line across the monster's torso.
"A-Ass-! AAAAARGH!
The Magia was split in half, bisected at the wait, before the damage overwhelmed all.
KABAN STRASH!
FLYING! KILO! IMPACT!
KABOOM!
Aruto panted as he landed to a skid without falling over...he had gotten quite good at that.
"There. Finished." Aruto panted as he stood up as he set the AttacheCalibur on his shoulder.
Fuwa nodded and contacted AIMS. "Report, is everyone alright?"
"Yes, Sir. All students and teachers are secured. No major injuries and those with some are being treated as we speak." An agent responded.
"Thank god." he sighed, removing his Progrise Key from his belt.
"I hope that next time you'll call us immediately, President Hiden." Yua spoke, removing her Key.
"Well, I haven't got your numbers. And the waiting time for AIM's phone lines is killer!" Aruto joked as he deactivated his own Driver.
Fuwa scrunched his face and turned around as he heard that. "We'll...We'll figure something out." He coughed.
"Can I see your RisePhone?" Yaiba asked.
"Yeah, su-u-u-u- ... er..." Aruto mumbled off, noticing the outfit that Yaiba was wearing.
Yua took the phone and pushed a few numbers, her phone number and unaware that she was still wearing the training suit. "Here you...go? Why're you-?" She looked down and stiffened up.
Aruto was babbling a bit, blushing wildly.
Yua gulped as she stood there. "This. This is my new training uniform. I got caught mid-changing."
"I-I see." He gulped and nodded quickly. "Um. It-it looks fitting on you." He admitted, looking away after being given his phone. "I-I-I mean it fits you! I-I mean you look g-good in it! I mean-"
"I know what you mean. Thank you." She answered, before walking towards Fuwa... "Please, stop staring!" She called back "Or at least ask me to have a drink first! I put both of our numbers in there!"
"Sorry! Sorry!" Aruto called, covering his eyes.
"President Aruto, are you alright?" Izu asked, walking over from hiding.
"Yeah, yeah, I'm fine." He mumbled. "Where's Jin?"
"He's safely away." She answered. "Waiting outside."
"That's good." Aruto sighed deeply.
Izu looked around at the area and looked at Aruto. "The Magia has been taken care of?" She asked.
"Yeah, but this one was different. He was healing, or...self-repairing." He explained. "I'll tell you more later."
"Of course, Sir." She nodded and bowed.
Outside, Jin had heard the explosion, knowing that the Assassin Magia had been beaten...but there was going to be repercussions from Horobi. And even the Key if he didn't get it back. He was scared about the future. 'What am I going to do? Horobi's going to be mad!' He thought to himself.
He shuddered in fear, he didn't know if he could go back...nor get the Key. He had no idea where the Key or Zetsumariser had even gone!
"Hey Jin, you okay?" Aruto asked, hurrying towards him as the sun set peaked out from above the school.
"I'm...I'm okay. Just...nervous." He admitted. "Scared."
"It's okay, I'll protect you." Aruto smiled.
"Thank you, Aruto." He answered, being helped up by Zero-One.
His future... looked brighter.
