Kamen Rider ?: Iris Young
=UNIVERSE=
The four arrived at the Moonrunner, and rushed inside, and the sight that greeted them sent them into shock. Parts of the ship were torn to ribbons, there were holes like something tore through parts of the ship.
In the corner Ethics layed offline, and severly damaged while Macha tried to work on him. Cocytus was out cold having been put into a chair on the ship.
"Damn it." Epona muttered as she saw the damage, and knew of only one thing that could cause this, and it was exactly who she was hunting.
Nora ran to check on each as Rachel and Diana followed close behind. Epona and Iris hung around the entrance starting to talk to one another.
"Do you think the serpent is picking up where he left off?" Epona asked Iris.
"You'd know that better than me." Iris replied.
"I know, but still...this doesn't follow his MO. Not in the present or the past." Epona says rubbing her chin.
"Why not ask your brother for..." Iris began, but was glared at by Epona.
"No. I am not asking him." She says out of reflex, and then sighs.
"I'm sorry. It's just...ever since that happened...I've had trouble sorting through these memories. Especially considering my family." Epona says to her.
Iris sighs, but nods in understanding "It's understandable. I myself have trouble sorting out issues with my own after that. Yet some of us aren't taking it as well as others." She says.
"The twins right? Given who they both are I'm not surprised there isn't trouble." Epona states.
"Then there is well...her." Iris said, and Epona looked away at this.
Iris sighs knowing she took that tough "Look. Once we handle things here we'll get right to work on removing the control on her." She assures her.
Epona sighs, and smirks giving Iris a friendly punch in the shoulder "Thanks. Need that. Though don't go telling the twins I'm going soft." She says.
Iris smirks back "What are you going to do if I do? Hide away in a cave?" She jokes.
Epona rolled her eyes "Oh ha ha. Very funny." She says sarcasticly.
The two then walked up to the trio near Ethics "So. What's the damage? What happened?" Epona asked.
Macha sighs and gets up "It had been sudden, but we had been in the middle of repairs." She began.
"Suddenly these serpents...anywhere from eight to ten and large ones rushed in." Macha continues doing her best to recall the events.
"Ramiel heard what was happening, and came out with her scissor blades. She was quickly overtaken, but freed when Ethics had used a powerful flamethrower on the serpent holding her." Macha continued.
"Unforunately this left him open to be attacked by a few, and they...they ate through him!" Macha says pointing to the damaged body.
"What about the Cocytus?" Nora asked pointing towards the knocked out pirate.
"They somehow tore into his ghost like body. He is to the point of being at risk of departing from the world permantly, but he needs time to rest." Macha says.
"Continue please." Iris requested.
Macha nods "After that happened it left me, Ramiel, and Ahsha to fight them off. We were overtaken, and the two were dragged out when they fell unconcious." Macha says.
"I...I had been nearly squeezed to death, but was spared when the two were taken." She says.
Epona hummed trying to think as she didn't understand as neither fit the usual MO. She understood Ramiel was an angel of some kind so Orochi would want her possible divine blood for something. Ahsha she and Iris knew next to little about.
Epona sighed "Macha. I'm going to need to know more about Ahsha. That way I can determine what my suspect is possibly planning." She says.
"Suspect! You have an idea who did this?!" She questions.
Epona nods, and the four manage to calm her down and explain who there suspect is, and just what they had done in the past according to various myths and legends.
Macha's eyes widen at the stories and looks away "...O-On Cray Ahsha is known as the Princess of The Fields. It might be a nickname, but among her clan she was regared as royalty. Her ancestor was actually royalty among the bioroids." Macha explained.
Epona's eyes narrow at this as comes to a rather gruesome conclusion "I see. So...it actually does fit his MO." She says.
"Orochi intends to eat Ahsha as the start to regain strength. And the blood of a divine being will put him far stronger than he had been even in his prime." Epona says.
Macha pales and stumbles landing in a seat while Nora was in shock, and Rachel grew angry at this. Rachel started to try to leave, but was grabbed and pulled back by Iris "Don't even think about it kid." She says.
Rachel tried to shove her away, but Iris held firm "We've got to go get her!" Rachel says.
"Yes, but not without a plan first." Epona tells her.
"We don't have time to make some stupid plan! We don't go after her now we..." Rachel starts, but was then stopped.
Iris let Rachel go wincing, Nora gasped, Diana looks away, and Macha was sligtly angry yet understanding. As for Rachel she was laying on the ground a hand to her now red cheek, and looking up at an angry Epona who was giving her a nasty scowl.
"You think I don't know what will happen." Epona hissed.
"I know what might happen, but two things will waste time. Stupidity, and recklessness. What you are wanting to do is both!" She tells Rachel and walks a few steps forward now seeming to tower over the teen.
"We go in with no plan we'll end up casualties of the multi-headed bastard! And I'll have to be the one to tell your family what happened. Do you want that?!" Epona exclaimed.
Rachel winced and Epona huffs "Thought so. Kid it's one thing to have power, but it's another entirely knowing how to use it. Power, and knowledge to know how to use it are just as important in a fight as the fight itself." She say.
"You got plently of power, but your abusing it kid. You don't know how to use it, and in times like that it's best to listen to your elders and learn from them." Epona finished.
Iris nods "Your free to joing us, but we are going to be making a plan first." She says.
Macha frowns at this "Just how do you plan on freeing them if I might ask?" She asks them as Rachel got up.
Iris and Rachel looked at one another both having a smirk on there faces "Temptation, and the same way one of my godly brothers handled him so long ago." Epona says.
"We're going to give that snake a feast he can't resist." Iris says her eyes seeming to flash a rainbow color.
=UNIVERSE=
In the town's Red Constellation HQ Arthur Vlad growls rubbing his head as all his voices swirled and argured as he sat in his office. Grabbing the two had been easy, but restraining them had been tougher than expected.
"Damn it. This vessel is growing weaker and weaker. We need something stronger!" One of the many voices thought the rest echoing in agreement. Arthur looked at the monitor showing the two restrained, and licks his lips glancing at Ahsha.
"Or we make this one stronger. Let's eat the princess now!" Another voice argured.
"No. It is not the right time yet. We have a few hours until the time is ripe, and even then we must eat them both at once. The blood of a divine, and a royal will make us..." A third voice began, but an explosion stopped any protests grabbing Arthur's attention.
Flipping through the monitors he growls and sees out front having crashed through was Kamen Rider Megami. "I know your here Orochi! So show yourself now!" She called out the audio coming out loud and clear.
Arthur slammed a fist on his desk "Oh she wants us...fine..." he says then laughs and starts to leave the room.
Meanwhile up front a few of the employee's ran when other employee's turned into large dark skinned beings with sharp claws and crystal like fragments sticking out of there skin. Megami slashed right through one then kicks another away before backflipping away.
"Just got to hold them down. He should show his ugly mug soon." She thought to herself as she held her shield up and engulfs the area in a bright light blinding her foes. She quickly finished the minor demons and hears a claping sound.
Knowing who it was and what to expect she turned and under her helmet scowls "So you finally show your ugly mug Orochi." She says looking at the transformed state of the man Orochi posessed.
He was now much taller standing easily at eight feet tall if not a bit taller, and was clad in gold armor that looked like snake scales. On each shoulder, arm, and leg joint was a snake like head armor with bright glowing red eyes like jewels. The chest was similar having a larger golden snake head a tounge sticking out and seeming to move. Finally the man heads itself was replaced with a large gold snakes head.
"Well well well. Ssso you sssshowed up. We expected asss much." The man spoke in a hiss, and disturbingly it wasn't just one head that spoke as anywhere there was a snake head on the body it spoke as well and at the same time.
"Well my brother couldn't be bothered to handle you this time Yamato-no-Orochi, but I do intend to kill you like my brother had before." Megami spoke as she had prepared to fight.
The heads all laugh "You cannot defeat usss!" They spoke, and instantly throws a punch at her, and she rolls out of the way his fist hitting the groud. Megami rushes him and slashes at his chest.
It simply bounced off the armor, and the snake head on the armor flies out and tries to snap at Megami. She backflips away just getting out of range and kicks the snake head with enough force sending it flying back into Orochi's armor.
Meanwhile away from them Nora, Rachel, Diana, and Iris had gotten in the backway and was headed for the Red Constellation facilities basement.
"You sure sis is going to be okay?" Diana asked.
Iris lets out a scoff "She's going to be fine kid. Your sister has been through worse." She tells her.
Rachel herself was a bit annoyed that she couldn't be involved in fighting against Orochi. It was frustrating to say the least, and Nora could tell she was annoyed by it all.
"Don't think about it Rachel. We need you to." Nora tells her.
"I know. Just...frustrating...but I get it. We got a job to do." Rachel says to her.
Suddenly Iris stopped, and groans as the rest stop and see what was in front of them. It was two figures as one of them was already familiar to the group. It was yet another black stone creature, but it's symbols glowed a bright red instead of a vibrant green, and it carried a large stone hammer instead of an axe.
The other figure was well...a Kamen Rider just like Epona and Iris were. The rider themselves was clearly female as they had a slim figure, and around the same height and so of Epona. She wore a pitch black bodysuit while over it was thick and jagged black chest armor with purple and red jewel like spikes sticking out of the sides and back her shoulder armor much the same. Her gloves were similarly colored, but the jewels glowed with energy while her high heeled armored boots were sleeker and the only thing not spiked.
Meanwhile around her waist was a black and silver belt with a demonic looking dragon head on it, and three deep red jewels in it's open mouth. Her helmet was desgined in similarly in style to the belt while in both hands she held two cleaver like blades. This was Kamen Rider Demon the chosen vessel of Grima, but was also a friend of Iris, and Epona's. She had also been a Kamen Rider for there group, and another reincarnated deity like Epona and the other riders.
"Diana...stay back, and do what you have to. Rachel, Nora handle the Death Rune. Demon is mine. Got it!" Iris instructs.
The two nod "Got it." They said both having there morphers at the ready.
"Unlock The Legend!"
++READY!++
++SET!++
"Star Change!"
The tips of two of Iris's fingers lite up, and she waves them through the air making symbols. Upon completion they collided with ther body creating a red and gold belt desgined like a scorpion's tail. In the center was a raised square section on the side being a series of egyptian heiroglyph like buttons. An area in the front was hollowed out in the shapt of an egyptian ankh a golden one in of the right size in Iris's hand.
++NETJER DRIVE! SET!++
++HEKA?++
She placed the ankh in the hollow space "Henshin!" She declared pressing a button on the side causing the ankh begin glowing with rainbow energy that Iris was covered in and it slowly began to vanish starting with the arms and legs. A strong a steady building drum beat sounded off as she changed.
++HEKA!++
++HEKA!++
Low heeled blue and red-orange boots with bright silver plating on the sides were shown, and had a spiral like design. He also had blue gloves with silver arm guards with similar spiral designs, and black palms an ankh symbol on top of the arm guards.
++HEKA, HEKA, HEKA!++
Next to be revealed was her rounded off red shoulder armor bearing the same symbol as on the arm guards as well in gold. It also revealed the undersuit of the armor was a tannish color that could almost be mistaken for skin.
++HEKA!++
++HEKA!++
Next to be revealed was her chest and lower body armor which was based off a sheath dress, but had the diamond like pattering of a beadnet dress. The armor itself was a red-orange, but the line pattern was a dark blue. while green jewels were in some hollow spaces.
++HEKA, HEKA, HEKA!++
Last, but not least to be revealed out of the rainbow energy was her helmet which was a solid red-orange with a scorpin like design, and green accents with slanted red-pink eyes. A golden sun disk with horns on the side attached behind it.
++PRESSSENTIIING!++
++KAAAAMEN RIIIDER! HEKA!++
"Let's make some magic." Heka quips.
[Insert Song: ZEAL of Proud preformed by Roselia]
Pressing a glyph button it lit up in front of her before becoming a staff that she grabs. It was long being taller than Heka. Besides being a vibrant green in color it had a headpiece shaped like a kite, and a spear tipped bottom. On both ends in gold were heiroglyph buttons like on her Driver.
Heka chaged at Demon and pressed a button before swinging it at her.
++IMPACT!++
When the attack hit Demon's she was hit with enough force to be thrown back into a wall. Demon growls and throws her blades at Heka before pressing a button on the side.
++DEATH SPIRAL!++
The blades glowed with purple and black energy and spun around Heka releasing blades of demonic energy she'd try to block.
While unsuccesfully Heka managed to knock both away from her with her staff before pressing a series of buttons on her staff and driver before pointing it a Demon.
Multiple fireballs shot out from the staff and explode on impact as Demon did her best to dodge. Demon hit several of her jeweled buttons at once her two blades fusing together becoming a single larger blade, and Demon herself grew in size.
"Nice try, but I can...will still beat you. We'll get you back." Heka thought to herself as he stabs the bottom of her staff into there hand.
Demon let out a cry of pain them anger "I'll kill you! I'll kill you all for my master!" She exclaimed her voice echoing.
"Like we'll let it." Heka said as she dodged another swing from the wide swing of the large cleaver like blade of Demon.
Demon gathered energy in one hand and flings it at Heka who responds in kind creating a two layered barrier of green and yellow-gold energy to protect her. She hits another button on her staff.
++LAUNCH!++
The two shields were flung foward and hits Demon throwing her through a wall, but she quickly comes out and growls hitting a few gems.
++DUPLICATE!++
++BOOMERANG!++
Demon began throwing mutiple versions of her giant cleaver that kept coming back to her and she kept going faster and faster trying to hit Heka who she eventually cornered.
Hitting the centeral most gem the mouth of her Driver closed.
++DEMON'S END++
Demon began gathering black energy in her palm and it slowly grew in size to a small boulder. She held it out in front of her and rears her leg back and kicks it hard "Dark Gate!"
There was a massive explosion the shoke the building and made the area below become covered in a thick smoke.
Satisfied and sure that Heka was dead she prepared to leave when heard a humming like noise. Looking over she froze and lets out a grunt of frustration.
Rachel had transformed into Dino Thunder Red, and was brandishing a certain shild in front of her, and had Nora supporting her. They had finished there battle with there own foe, and came to aid Iris.
"Seriously? What are you kids thinking?" Iris muttered letting out a small laugh as the idea of being saved by children laughable. Then again they weren't that much younger than her or Epona.
"Just doing our job. I mean what we do is mostly the same." Rachel says as she goes back down to her base form.
The two rush in landing several blows giving Heka time to recover and get up. "There some good kids. Well better not disappoint them." She thought.
Tapping on the Golden Ankh it glowed like a rainbow.
++FINALE!++
Hearing the noise and knowing what that meant the two gave Demon one last good punch knocking her back some.
Heka glowed a rainbow colored as with incredible speed she was in front of Demon and gave her three swift kicks to her stomach. Then gathering all the energy she raised her leg high and brought it down hard Demon's helmet which cracked and she lets out a cry of pain and vanishes.
[Insert Song End]
"That's a wrap on that." Heka says, and bring a hand to the side of her helmet.
"Megami. Demon was here, but it's handled. Also..." She started, and saw Diana return with Ahsha and Ramiel.
"we're in the clear. The two are in out hands now. So let's get. Now." She finished.
"About time. I can't hold back all day against Orochi." Megami says over comms.
"We'll meet you at the RV." Heka says, and the group leaves the back way canceling there transformations.
=UNIVERSE=
Escaping and returning to the Moonrunner the group plus Minerva began treating the two for the injuries that they had suffered at the hands of Orochi.
"So...you don't think they'll try again?" Minerva asked.
Epona rubs her head "I don't know. Maybe. So I'm going to stay for a little longer till I can confirm that Orochi has left." She says.
Iris nods "Same goes for me. Until your team get's back it's best you got some real backup." She tells them.
"Thank you. Really." Nora tells her.
Rachel though was thinking and considering her actions and words said to her earlier. She knew she wasn't the most welcoming person at times, but she wasn't going to sugarcoat her feelings.
She hated absolutely hated the girl who had become the red for the team that served as the sucessor to her sisters team. Even though she'd been in the wrong with what she did it was genuinely how she felt towards the girl.
Glancing at the rest she lets out a sigh "Maybe I was wrong. But still...I'll stay like they asked. I just...don't get her." She thought.
Meanwhile in space the chase was concluding as the two groups were slowly making there way back to Earth.
That's the end of Episode 59, and we are approaching the end of this small arc. Which we'll finally be getting to the intended purpose of this arc which is to finish things with almost all the general's. Now then let's get to the highlights of the chapter the main of which is my Kamen Rider lore I set up in this. First up the God Riders as I call the riders that are allied with Megami and Megami herself are all reincarnated deities from different mythologies. Megami is obviously Amaterasu while Heka is strongly based off of Isis from egyptian mythology. So honest question...if I made a Kamen Rider Megami story would those who read this also read it? Anyways until the next time this has been your friendly Fictionpress and Fanfiction author decode9!
Also I'm terribly sorry for the wait. I honestly can't explain why I had so much trouble with this one. Anyways bye for now everyone!
