After a long drive, Kyoshiro stopped the car in front of an abandoned house. Yukina was surprised by this, why would he stop here? Would he have another plan in mind? Putting her out of her mind, Kyoshiro tapped on the door before telling her. "Get out, we've arrived."
Yukina got out of the car and questioned. "What are we doing here?"
"Not far from here is the hotel where Koto is staying, I'm going to observe them while you go prepare some prosthetics for me." Kyoshiro threw a shot at Yukina that almost knocked him over. She took a look and was completely speechless.
"Is that what I think it is?!" Asked Yukina surprised.
"Oh yes and it's going to be great!" Kyoshiro gave another one of his crazy laughs before entering the house.
Yukina could not help but be impressed by the intricacies of the plan and the advancement that it represented. "He is really a genius." She said, blushing a little.
Yukina entered the house and saw that the living room was filled with tools and materials of all kinds. She could understand that Kyoshiro had prepared this for her so she could complete her plan.
"I'll be upstairs watching the people coming out of the hotel. You call me as soon as you finish building it, that's when we'll attack." Said Kyoshiro.
"I told you I can't fight!" Said Yukina.
"I know but I need someone to carry the weapon you're going to make. There's gonna be a hell of a mess." Retorted Kyoshiro.
Yukina thought for a second before saying. "I'll do your prosthetics, but I have one condition."
"What's that?" Kyoshiro questioned intrigued.
"When you've managed to beat one of them. I don't want you to kill them directly, I want you to capture them and call Kourin directly." As soon as she finished her sentence, she could feel Kyoshiro's murderous aura piercing through her. Yukina thought she was going to die on the spot under the cyborg's gaze.
"And why should I do that?" Kyoshiro asked in a threatening and terrifying voice.
Yukina took her confidence in both hands and said. "I think we can interrogate them to learn more."
"Learn more about what?" Kyoshiro's eyes filled with even more anger.
"Maybe about the location of the others..." Said Yukina.
Kyoshiro thought for a minute and smiled a smile that scared the devil himself. "Okay, I'll capture her, but I'll be the one doing the interrogating."
"Fine by me!" Said Yukina with an innocent smile.
As he approached the city, Yosuke was riding his motorcycle at full speed. After several minutes of driving, he stopped near Koto's hotel and entered to take a room where he was going to spend the next few hours waiting for Kyoshiro to arrive. Yosuke started to warm up, thinking about how different he felt with his new implants and he couldn't help but be eager to use them against Kyoshiro.
After several minutes of warming up, Yosuke took out a pair of scouting binoculars and looked out the window of his hotel room. "Better start observing the surroundings."
Yosuke observed everything around the hotel with a fine-tooth comb through his binoculars which could notice all kinds of data. He was confused when his binoculars gave him data that seemed impossible. Yosuke tapped his binoculars thinking that they were dysfunctional, but checked the data again and turned white.
"What the hell is this?" Yosuke asked surprised.
The next morning, Yukina and Kyoshiro were in front of the hotel where Koto was staying. Yukina, who was carrying a big bag, was surprised to see that Kyoshiro had covered his prostheses with synthetic skin. He who never covered them, this confused her.
"Why did you put this on?" Yukina pointed to Kyoshiro's arms.
"I may be an idiot, but I know I have to hide to get to Koto." Kyoshiro put on the hood of his jacket to hide his face. "You should do the same thing."
"Don't worry about me!" Said Yukina with a big smile.
"You're such an idiot." Whispered Kyoshiro as the duo entered the hotel.
Kyoshiro and Yukina entered the hotel lobby and Kyoshiro was confused, he was surprised to see so many people present. During his hours of observation, Kyoshiro had noticed that some people entered and left the hotel, but the lobby was much too full.
"Something is wrong." Said Kyoshiro in a cold tone.
"Is there?" Yukina asked. "I don't know why you say that."
"There are too many people here." Kyoshiro stood on his guard and began to observe his surroundings much more carefully.
"Stop being paranoid, I don't see anything that could be threatening." Said Yukina innocently.
"Being paranoid is what has kept me alive all this time. I'm not going to stop now." Said Kyoshiro.
Further up in the hotel, Koto was in her room watching Kyoshiro and Yukina through the hotel camera. She was having fun watching all the people as if she was watching a series. While she was drinking a cocktail, Yosuke entered in his soldier uniform.
"I'm ready, Koto. Tell me when I have to go." Said Yosuke.
"Change of schedule. Dan ordered me to have you observe Kyoshiro before sending you into battle." Said Koto.
"This is unexpected." Yosuke was surprised by this development. "What do you have planned to slow him down?"
"I spent last night playing little messages over the hotel speakers. We're going to have some fun." Koto took a microphone in hand with a dark smile...
Kyoshiro and Yukina were about to get on one of the elevators, when they heard a jingle ring out.
"Dear customers, we inform you that the all-you-can-eat buffet will close soon, please go there as soon as possible." Said a female voice.
"It's weird to say that now, but hey." Yukina carefree pressed the button for the elevator, but saw that it didn't go down. "Huh?" Yukina was surprised by this that she pressed the button several times, but still nothing. "Is it broken?"
"It's a strange coincidence... a little too simple that it's down now." Said Kyoshiro.
"Stop with your paranoia, it's nothing. We'll take the es-"
*Stack*
"Huh? ..." Yukina turned white as she saw that a knife had cut her cheek before stabbing into the wall next to her.
The duo turned around to see a group of customers armed to the teeth with lifeless eyes.
"And now my paranoia is not useful?" Kyoshiro asked.
"I still stand by the fact that you shouldn't be so paranoid." Said Yukina.
"Well, shut up! It's time to take the stairs to Koto!" Kyoshiro pulled Yukina by her arm and ran as fast as he could.
The duo was about to take the stairwell but a group of customers blocked their way. Without any hesitation, Kyoshiro hit the group with full speed sending them flying towards the stairwell door and destroying it. They took advantage of the concussion to climb the stairs.
"What's happening to them?" Yukina asked curiously.
"Koto is behind this!" Answered Kyoshiro.
"What do you mean?" Yukina questioned.
"Did you forget what I said or what?!" Retorted Kyoshiro annoyed, but Yukina had embarrassed look. "Idiot!" Kyoshiro gave a blow on Yukina's head gave her a huge bump.
"It hurts!" Said Yukina with tears in her eyes.
"That will teach you to forget what I say! Especially when it's this important!" Said Kyoshiro annoyed before regaining his composure. "Koto can hypnotize people, you could even say she's mentally controlling them. She must have implanted a subliminal message in them to order them to attack us. We have to hurry to get to her or I'll have to kill them if they get in our way."
"I didn't think you'd mind killing them?" Yukina questioned.
"The only thing that bothers me is Kourin! She's threatening to add more work for every civilian I kill and I don't wanna work!" Replied Kyoshiro before he hit something that stopped him.
Kyoshiro looked ahead to see that a mountain of muscle was blocking his path. He was bald with a blond mustache, bare-chested and wearing only shorts and a pair of gloves. Yukina turned white when she saw the size and build of the man.
"You must be Kyoshiro?" Asked the man.
"Yeah, so what?" Kyoshiro provoked.
"I was ordered to kill you by Miss Koto..." We could see the man's muscles bulge with every word he said. "In return I would receive all her love!"
"All her love?" Kyoshiro moved closer to the man's ear and whispered. "Do you know that she is over 80 years old? She could be your grandmother."
As soon as he had whispered these words, the wall of muscle had brought down his fist piercing the steps of the staircase, but the man was puzzled. There was no blood spatter.
"Wow, really impressive. With all those muscles, is this all you can do?" The man was completely surprised to see Kyoshiro flying through the air. "What, didn't she warn you that I can do that?" Kyoshiro could see the man turning completely red with anger. "Oh I will have fun with you." He walked back down the steps in front of the man and pointed to his right cheek. "Come on. You just have to hit me here, it's easy."
The man prepared his blow and struck. The blow was so hard that the ground shook, but the mountain of muscle was covered in sweat as he turned white as snow. Kyoshiro was still standing but now he was pissed off at the man.
"You're weak..." Kyoshiro's right arm was covered in green electricity and suddenly-
*Schtacks*
Kyoshiro's arm penetrated the man's chest. "Get out of my way." All the electricity coursed through his body charring him completely. A few seconds after the lightning finished going through the mountain of muscle, his body became a pile of ash as the synthetic skin on Kyoshiro's arm was completely burned away.
Yukina was surprised to see what had just happened to the man. "That was... awesome !" Said Yukina with stars in her eyes. "How did you do that?! I thought you only controlled gravity?" She asked playfully while starting to examine Kyoshiro's arm.
"Calm down a little!" Kyoshiro gave a blow to Yukina's head making her bump again. "I just used the current my implants produce!"
"Stop hitting me!" Said Yukina with crocodile tears.
"Stop being an idiot then!" Kyoshiro retorted, "Let's move on before another jerk stops-"
*Bang!
A bullet grazed Kyoshiro's cheek cutting him off. The cyborg was extremely annoyed by this, he looked in the direction to see that an old soldier with a gun in his hand was at the top of the steps ready to shoot again.
"You better give up before I get serious." Said the old soldier.
" ... " Kyoshiro remained silent even though the veins on his face swelled the angrier he got.
"Don't you know how to speak or-" The soldier was cut off by Kyoshiro who hit him in the face with a drop-kick, smashing his face against the wall. The cowboy died from the blow he received.
"I'm sick of this crap." Kyoshiro turned and saw a dozen men, all different from each other and all armed to the teeth. "Give me the thing..." Kyoshiro ordered Yukina.
Meanwhile Koto and Yosuke had watched the duo advance in the hotel. The manipulator was surprised to see that Kyoshiro had not let his anger control him, but unlike her, Yosuke was surprised at how easily Kyoshiro had been able to beat the muscle mountain.
"He is really incredible." Said Yosuke impressed. "You did well not to send me, I wouldn't know what I would have done against him."
"You say that, but he's not serious yet." Koto retorted.
"What?" Yosuke questioned in awe.
"Yeah, even during your first fight with him, he wasn't serious. I don't know if he's underestimating us or if he's planning something, but we have to be careful." Koto explained.
Surprising the two Phoenix members, the whole hotel began to shake as if an earthquake had just happened, everything that wasn't nailed down shook and fell to the ground or broke. Koto looked at the camera and turned white as she discovered the source of the tremor.
In the stairwell, Yukina was still speechless from what she had just seen. Kyoshiro's right forearm now looked like a huge gun barrel, his elbow looked like a six-chambered barrel, and finally on his right ear was an earpiece that covered it and a piece of red tinted glass that extended to the front of his eye. Yukina could see that data was marked on it and changed quickly, but she was not surprised by this. Yukina was surprised that the cannon fire had destroyed everything in its path leaving only pairs of legs in place of the men and the wall behind them now had a large circular hole.
"They were starting to piss me off those idiots." From one of the chambers of the barrel, a cartridge fell to the ground smoking and so hot that it burned the ground. "I wanted to save this for Koto, but I was tired of it."
" ...I still can't believe I made this." Said Yukina before taking another hit from Kyoshiro. "Stop hitting me! I didn't say anything stupid this time!"
"Yes, you did, you said it was you who created it... when it was me with my plan and materials." Kyoshiro retorted.
"But it was me who put it together!" Unfortunately for her, Yukina took another blow from Kyoshiro. "Stop it !"
"Stop being stupid then!" Said Kyoshiro.
"Actually, I thought you were keeping for her?" Yukina questioned.
"I was tired of those assholes." Kyoshiro replied.
"Actually what is that on your eye?" Yukina asked.
"A detector, it observes the environment while collecting data like infrared, ultraviolet, magnetic etc..." Kyoshiro pressed his earpiece making his detector start to beep and he looked around. "Super useful to notice our enemies." The detector stopped beeping which made Kyoshiro smile, "Or our victims." In one quick motion, Kyoshiro aimed at the spot the detector had indicated and fired a thick green laser that pierced all the walls in its path, this one going completely through the hotel as if nothing had happened.
"What was that for?!" Yukina asked confused before taking another hit from Kyoshiro, "Stop hitting me in the same place! I'm going to start bleeding if you keep it up!"
"Stop saying stupid stuff and look!" Kyoshiro pointed along the hole he had just dug with his "revolver" to show that on one of the floors was Koto sitting in a chair looking towards them surprised because what had just happened.
"... It would have been easier to take the stairs you know? You didn't have to break through the walls." Unfortunately for her, Kyoshiro struck another blow adding another dent to her collection. "I'm going to lose brain cells!"
"You should already have some for that ! " Kyoshiro retorted.
While Kyoshiro and Yukina continued to argue, Koto was still in awe because she had just seen, the ground had been pierced by a laser. Pulling her out of her stupor, Yosuke carried her in his arms and started to run at full speed.
"Koto! Pull yourself together!" Yosuke ordered gaining the attention of his superior. "You have to regain your composure! He may have a laser, but we have field advantage!"
"What do you mean?" Koto asked.
"You're not the only one who prepared a surprise for him. I placed traps at strategic points. The duo arrived in front of the elevator shaft, Yosuke let go and forced the shaft to open. "Come on, I already have an idea for a new hideout." Yosuke jumped into the elevator shaft, grabbed one of the cables and held his hand out to Koto, but she could stop herself from laughing. "What's so funny?!" He asked surprised.
"Nothing, it's just something your father used to tell me." Said Koto before taking Yosuke's hand.
The two of them went down the elevator ropes at full speed.
As Yukina and Kyoshiro argued, the Cyborg's detector began to beep gaining his attention, but the mechanic was curious as to why it was beeping.
"What's going on?" Yukina asked.
"The sensor just noticed that Koto and a person started moving!" Kyoshiro pressed his earpiece. "And they are coming down to our floor! Get over here!" Before Yukina could even react to what Kyoshiro had just said, that he had given a chase in the door of the floor he was on.
*ping*
Kyoshiro's eyes opened with fear at this noise, he looked quickly at his feet to see that a pin had just rolled there. Barely a second later, an explosion sent Kyoshiro flying backwards, Yukina was also sent backwards but fortunately without any damage. A few seconds after the explosion, the mechanic got up with her ears ringing. She went towards Kyoshiro to see that shrapnel had pierced him through and that the synthetic skin had disappeared from his prosthesis.
Surprising Yukina who was still concussed from the shock, Kyoshiro could feel the shrapnel in his torso piercing him. Yukina gritted her teeth at the horror the cyborg had just endured, she turned white as Kyoshiro removed the larger pieces of shrapnel with his bare hands.
"Idiot! Don't you know not to remove them!" Yukina grumbled.
"I'm a doctor! I know this better than anyone, but I can't let this slow me down!" The index finger of his left hand turned into a small torch and he began to cauterize as many wounds as he could. After healing most of his wounds, Kyoshiro stood up with some difficulty. "Let's go." Kyoshiro ordered as he walked down the hallway. He was now paying attention to any traps that might happen.
Yosuke and Koto entered a room, the soldier rummaged under the bed, pulled out a bag and opened to reveal that it contained a modified sniper rifle.
"Is this one of the weapons that are still in the preparation phase?" Koto asked.
"Yeah, it's a compressed electro-magnetic cannon or C.E.M.C. I can do at most two shots in a row before I have to let it cool down. » Yosuke took out a second one that also contained an C.E.M.C. "That's why I took two!"
*Ding-ding* *Thomp*
Yosuke put down the C.E.M.C. and opened the door to see that Kyoshiro and Yukina were not far from them.
"Ah fuck! What the fuck is this stupid rope doing here!" Kyoshiro insulted the rope that had made him fall.
"You were so careful that you didn't look at your feet!" Yukina giggled at the scene.
"Shut up!" Said Kyoshiro embarrassed.
Yosuke, silently, took the C.E.M.C. and loaded two cartridges into it. He was careful not to take the gun out of the door so as not to be noticed, the soldier cocked the breech of the C.E.M.C., cut his breath, aimed as best as he could and ...
*BANG!
The bullet went all the way through the hallway and grazed Yukina's cheek. The bullet pierced the sound barrier, sending Yukina into one of the walls.
"Shit! The sight is out of calibration!" Said Yosuke as the barrel of his weapon smoked.
In one quick motion, Kyoshiro aimed at Yosuke with his revolver, firing destroying most of the doors in the corridors and sending Yosuke backwards.
Recovering from the shock of Kyoshiro's shot, Yosuke stood up and handed the C.E.M.C to Koto. "Keep this! I'll take care of him!" A Driver appeared on Yosuke's belt, the Driver looked like a Lion's head had a pair of sharp claws on each side. "Henshin!" The soldier pushed the claws inside the Lion's mouth giving it sharp fangs as green flames engulfed it.
As soon as the flames subsided, Yosuke was in an orange jumpsuit and covered in black scars. He had a silver chest protector and wore a brown open helmet and leather jacket with a hood and fur collar. His helmet was orange with black whiskers, the mouthpiece of his helmet was silver and he had a pair of cat ears sticking out of the hood. He also had black gloves and boots that looked like lions' paws. The boots had three mufflers.
"Time to see what I can do with these new implants!" Green flames came out of the exhaust pipes and suddenly everything around Yosuke seemed to stop. He walked out of the room to see that Kyoshiro's cannon had already started firing again. Yosuke walked by the shot and was next to Kyoshiro, more green flames came out of the exhaust as he kicked furiously. As soon as he was done, everything around Yosuke went back to normal and Kyoshiro was propelled through several walls.
"What the hell was that?!" Kyoshiro spat blood and struggled to get up. As soon as he was up he saw Yosuke where he was. Kyoshiro put his hand on his chest to check the damage. "Damn, he broke two of my ribs and fractured two more!"He thought before his Driver appeared on him. "Henshin!" In a second, Kyoshiro transformed and aimed at Yosuke. "Who are you?!"
"Kamen Rider Nemea... now get over here, you old man!" The flames came out of the exhaust pipes again but just as quickly Nemea was floating in the air.
"I knew it, you dirty bastard! You're using the same implants that Shiryu created!" Reverse's cannon began to charge. "You won't be able to run away from this! Good thing I set up a gravity field around me!" Reverse sneered.
And in an instant, Nemea reactivated his implants and time stopped again. He took advantage of his lack of gravity and used his strong legs to propel himself from wall to wall before kicking Reverse in the stomach. As soon as time resumed, Reverse recoiled from the blow before the mouth of his helmet opened and he vomited blood.
"You bastard! I changed your sense of gravity! How did you attack me?!" Interrogated Reverse annoyed.
"You can manipulate gravity, but that doesn't mean I have the speed to counter it. Now you're going to pay for hurting my best friend and trying to kill my aunt ... " The claws of Nemea's right hand grew in size and he was about to pierce Reverse's heart, but suddenly huge green lightning bolts shot out from Reverse's body.
Nemea stepped back as quickly as the lightning bolts appeared and surprisingly, a field of electricity engulfed Reverse. Nemea could not find any weakness in this field. "Don't make me laugh, you little brat! I've spent over five decades thinking about how I can make every one of these bastards pay! Nights and nights thinking about torturing them in ways that would make you puke! SO IF YOU THINK YOU CAN STOP ME, YOU'RE REALLY NAIVE ! " Reverse shouted.
In an instant, Reverse was in front of Nemea and used his huge cannon that served as his arm and smashed it against the skull of his opponent. The blow was so strong that the cannon shattered, leaving an arm made of electricity.
"OVERBURST!" Taking advantage of the confusion and the fact that Nemea was concussed from the blow he had received, Reverse grabbed the Lion by the throat and used him as a battering ram to smash through several walls.
After breaking through one last wall, Reverse threw Nemea through another wall and grinned as Koto tried to help Nemea up. "I found you, bitch..." Reverse's laughter chilled Koto's blood. She was about to speak but surprising Koto and Nemea, Reverse pierced her helmet and eardrums with her index fingers. "If I can't hear you, you can't bewitch me." Nemea stood up with great difficulty, but Reverse hit her with a chassé that sent her crashing into a window that shattered and sent her tumbling to the ground.
"I know you can't hear me, but I hope you can understand me because I have only one thing to say to you." Koto stood up and looked Reverse straight in the eye without any fear. "I've always loved you and when that bitch stole you from me, I was heartbroken. I always knew you were as crazy as that and even with that, my heart was always for you so do what you want. As long as it's you, I'm willing to suffer." Surprising Koto, Reverse took off his helmet and his expression terrified her. His face showed his anger and he was red with anger to the point that he almost looked like a demon. Out of anger he punched so hard that Koto was knocked unconscious, Reverse turned away before taking Koto on the shoulder that remained.
"What happened?" Asked Yukina who had just woken up, but Kyoshiro did not answer him threw a bag that was on the ground with his feet. "Why aren't you talking?" She questioned again, Kyoshiro pointed to her ears and nodded in disagreement. "Are you deaf?" Kyoshiro nodded in agreement. "We need to fix this at once." Yukina took the bag and followed Kyoshiro towards the staircase. " ... wait a second how do you understand me then?" Kyoshiro pointed to his lips. "Oh you read lips, that's helpful." She said before following Kyoshiro.
