Episode 3: Not Bad for a First Case.

W was trying to hold his own against the Rhino Dopant but due to its armor it was useless to even try to hit its armor at close range. The Rhino Dopant roared before charging at W with its head. W moved out of the way to see it barge into a wall. "Ok, close range is not an option let's try long range." W pulled out a blue GaiaMemory with a picture of a gun that looks like a T and a yellow memory with a crescent moon with an L in it.

"LUNA!"

"TRIGGER!"

"LUNA-TRIGGER!" W changed again from green to yellow and from black to blue. The Trigger Magnum materialized on W's blue side. W grabbed and fired shots that were going in separate direction but were hitting the Rhino Dopant regardless. This seemed to push back the Rhino Dopant but only a little bit. Rei started to speak from her side.

"Shinji, it appears we're only slowing him down, should we use the Heat Memory?"

"Well-." But before Shinji can finish the Rhino Dopant was already charging luckily at the last second the RevolGarry appeared and ran over the Rhino Dopant. "Ok, I guess we don't need the Heat Memory."

Inside Misato and Asuka were trying to look out the window and were shocked to see W. "Is that the thief what is he doing here?" Asuka asked but before Misato can reply the two felt the vehicle being lifted. Outside W was surprised to see the Rhino Dopant lifting the RevolGarry with its two arms and faced W.

"Wow." Was all that both halves have to say about that. The Rhino Dopant threw the RevolGarry and W dodged in time. The RevolGarry flipped before landing on its wheels with a dizzy and slightly bruised Misato while Asuka was hoping her wound weren't affected. In the confusion the Rhino Dopant grabbed Kasumi and ran off in a very impressive speed. It was obvious that W was frustrated by this. "Damn it! He got away!" but Rei tried to cheer him up.

"Don't worry Shinji, with criminals like him I detect a high chance of him showing up again." W nodded.

"And, we'll be ready for him." W got on his STAG Phone and sent the RevolGarry away while he got on the HardBoiler and left.

As song ends Shinji and Rei stand back-to-back and the camera rotates on them and W. The logo appears again with forms of W and ends with the Cyclone and Joker form performing their famous pose.

The next day Shinji, who was now wearing a gray fedora, grey coat, dark jeans, black shoes, black shirt and purple tie, was now thinking of what could the Rhino Dopant want with Kasumi. Rei, who was wearing basically wearing the same thing on the top except the stripes on her shirt and gloves were pink, her hoodie was green, but on the bottom she was wearing black cargo pants and had red boots, was in the GaiaLibrary trying to find any suspects.

Misato and Asuka busted through the door and walked up to Shinji's desk while Rei, who just got out, quickly got of the way before reading her book. Shinji knew he would have to answer their questions now considering he doesn't have anything on his case now. Asuka started. "Alright, Third Child can you tell us what just happened yesterday?" Misato nodded.

"Yeah, like what's the deal with that vehicle."

"Or the GaiaMemories you and the First Child have?"

"Or how you two ended up together as partners?"

"Or why you two are trying to hide from NERV?"

"And, what's the deal with that half and half thief?" Rei was amused by the amount of questions the two have while Shinji stood up to point out one thing.

"That is no thief! That is W!" Shinji got back in his seat while the two girls sighed before Misato spoke up.

"Then can you do a case on him?" Shinji shook his head.

"Out of all the cases I would take W is not one." He then heard the radio mentioning something about Kasumi. "Rei, turn the volume up." Rei got to the radio and turned the dial to hear.

"We have the body of Kasumi Hibachi at Miyashita Park. I repeat we have Kasumi's body any nearby officers please approach the scene." And with that Shinji got on the HardBoiler and drove away to the crime scene.

At Miyashita park the police were gathered around making sure any bystanders doesn't interfere with the crime scene. Shinji got there, presented his ID, and examined the body. The body had a lot of bruises, the legs were broken, a lot of cuts, and a stab wound caused from the Dopant's horn. Shinji took a few pictures with the Bat Shot in Digicam mode. Shinji then felt a presence coming towards him. "Hey, kid." Shinji turned to see a man who was in his 30s and Shinji clearly deduced that he was the police detective. "Name's Souji Hitari. Aren't you a little too young to be a detective?"

"Detective, I have my ID and I don't need to be old to do my job." Just as Shinji was about to leave Souji grabbed him by the shoulder.

"Look kid, I'm doing my job too and I just want you to know this case is too dangerous for you. So go to school where you're really needed." Shinji got Souji's hand off of him and left on the HardBoiler.

"School, as if. I already graduated college." Shinji thought as he was driving but now he had no choice but to go to one man who could help, Watcherman. When he found Watcherman he was on top of some restaurant taking the picture of some cosplayer. Shinji approached him. "Hey I need your help with something regarding to my new case." Watcherman took the money and sighed.

"You know Shinji I'm only here in Tokyo-3 because I could take some distance from the Dopants but I could always use the money." Watcherman was Shinji and Rei's informant back in Fuuto but Watcherman left saying he needs a change in scenery especially for his photos on his blog. "So what do you need?"

"Has there been any building related to NERV recently destroyed?" Shinji thought that whoever the Rhino Dopant was might've held a grudge like Kasumi but silenced him so Kasumi wouldn't rat him out.

"Hmmmm." Watcherman stood trying to think but he remembered something. "A few days ago if I recall a new NERV building collapsed. The officials said that the building was unstable to begin with but I don't believe that." Shinji nodded taking all this information as best as he can.

"Where?"

"Sumida."

"Great, also can you talk to any of your people if they ever seen Kasumi making the deal?"

"I don't know that is a lot to ask for." Shinji sighed before giving Watcherman some more money. "I'll see if they know anything." Shinji nodded and left the restaurant.

Meanwhile at Double Detective Agency, Rei was being pestered with questions from Misato and Asuka regarding various things about her and Shinji while waiting for him. Rei was trying to read her book again until Misato came up. "So how did you become Shinji's partner?" Rei sighed seeing how this is the third time she was asked that.

"We told you we met on a case, that's all."

"There's has to be more to that."

"There is but that's all you're getting." Rei bluntly stated. It was now Asuka's turn to go up.

"How come you don't want to come back to NERV?" Rei decided to answer that one.

"I don't have any more faith in what they're doing especially when it comes to Gendo neither does my aibou." Misato and Asuka were surprised by her answer. Misato read the files on Rei and they said that she was loyal and is willing to die for NERV and Shinji's stated that he always wanted his father's approval and that serving NERV would be the best way. What had changed?

"Did something happen?" Rei nodded but the two knew that it was all that she was going to give them. Asuka decided to change the subject.

"So, Rei what do you do for fun?" Rei was surprised that this wasn't a question Shinji, their working relationship, or NERV so she saw no harm in answering. It was only a minor one about herself.

"Learning new things, reading, working with Shinji, and sometimes I would write or draw." Misato then asked Rei something that she wasn't prepared to answer.

"So do you have a crush on Shinji?" Rei's face instantly went red and the two girls laughed. To Rei, Shinji was her partner but was also her first real friend who cared a lot about her not because of anything special but just because he does. During the two years he helped her opened up, became human, and realized there is a lot in life. Sure there were times they fought but at least they always made up in the end and the two would always make each other laugh. Rei looked at Misato and Asuka while trying to control her blush and said.

"We're just best friends and partners, that's all." Misato and Asuka didn't buy it but decided to let Rei win this round.

"If you say so, Rei, if you say so. So do you go to school?"

"I already graduated college." Misato looked at her in disbelief but Asuka really wasn't considering she also graduated and only goes to school to learn kanji.

"You're kidding!" Rei left for a few seconds before coming back with her diploma. After looking at it Misato looked in disbelief. Asuka however asked Rei another question.

"So have you and Shinji-." Rei was however deep in her own thoughts.

"Why do I feel like staying here was a bad idea? I swear Shinji; I'm going to get you for leaving me with these two."

"Why do I feel like Rei is really mad at me for some reason?" Shinji just arrived on scene. Shinji showed his ID to the workers allowing him clear passage. Shinji was examining the wreck done here and saw a huge hole in the wall. Shinji went to one of the workers. "Excuse me, but was that hole always there?" The worker nodded.

"Yeah, even before we got here. I thought some of the walls collapsed when the building fell over." The worker said. To Shinji, he confirmed his theory; The Rhino Dopant was an accomplice to Kasumi. Shinji further went down the halls until he heard something coming at him. Shinji turned to see the Rhino Dopant charging. Shinji jumped over him and took out the Bat Shot. The Rhino Dopant roared and Shinji placed a GaiaMemory into the Bat Shot.

"BAT!"

The Bat Shot transformed into a miniature mechanical bat and blinding the Rhino Dopant with its' shots and while it was doing that Shinji got his phone out and placed a new Memory into it. It transformed into a mechanical stag beetle. It flew around slashing at the Dopant with its teeth. Before Shinji can pull out the DoubleDriver the Dopant slashed its claws on the floor causing sparks and when the sparks vanished so did the Dopant. Shinji grunted in frustration as the Memory Gadgets made their way back. Both of them transformed and landed in Shinji's hand. Shinji placed them away and noticed a box on a nearby desk.

Shinji went over and picked it up. Shinji shook it a few times before opening it and all he found was a note and a picture. The picture was of Kasumi and what Shinji assumed is his girlfriend; she had long brown hair, pale skin, and blue eyes. He then looked at the note.

Dear Kasumi

I left this picture for you so you would have a place to think of me while at work. I know you're not doing so well but I hope at least you're not causing trouble. Just come to me if anything is troubling you .NERV is a huge organization, you should be proud of working there of getting some pay. Alright I'll see you at our next date!

Love, Haruhi

Shinji was now thinking how would Haruhi react to Kasumi's death also whether she knew anything about the GaiaMemory that Kasumi had. Shinji got on his phone and called Rei.

"Hello? Shinji?"

"Yeah Rei, it's me look I found a note on Kasumi's old desk and it mentioned a girl named Haruhi. Can you do a lookup on her and see if there's anything useful?"

"Hai. I can do that, no problem. Also, Shinji?"

"Yes, Rei?"

"When you get back we're going to have a 'discussion' about leaving me with these two. They've been annoying me with questions all day. I feel like you dodged a bullet when you left. Ok, goodbye." And with that Rei hung up. Shinji shivered a little when Rei said 'discussion' there were only a few times Shinji was around Rei when she was annoyed and they weren't very happy memories. Just as Shinji was about to leave Watcherman approaches him.

"So you found something?" Watcherman nodded.

"One my people said he saw Kasumi and another person making a deal with a man who had a briefcase of GaiaMemories."

"Did he say anything about what the dealer looks like?"

"Only that he wore a tuxedo."

"What about the other buyer?"

"He said he couldn't get a good angle to get a proper but the buyer bought a Memory with a rhinoceros emblem on it." Shinji nodded this once again confirms his theory.

"Ok, thanks Watcherman." Watcherman left and while Shinji was walking towards the exit he got a phone call from Rei. "Anything from the Library?"

"Hai, aibou. Her name is Haruhi Sumeragi and she was the girlfriend of Kasumi. She works as a waitress in a Pizza Hut not far from where you are." Shinji nodded at her information.

"Got it. I'll go check it out." Shinji hung up on the phone and got on the HardBoiler.

A few minutes later, Shinji arrived at Pizza Hut and got in. He approached a worker and asked, "Excuse me, but is there a Haruhi Sumeragi here?"

"Haruhi is in the back, she's on break. If you have anything to talk about make sure it isn't about her boyfriend. His body was just found this morning." Shinji nodded and proceeded to go to the back where he found her on a chair looking at her picture was Kasumi.

"Excuse me, are you Haruhi?"

"Who are you?"

"I'm Shinji, a private detective. I'm looking into Kasumi's death and was hoping you could help me." Haruhi cried a little upon hearing Kasumi's name.

"I'm sorry but sure I'll help you only if you promise to take down the son of a bitch that took away my Kasumi." Shinji nodded and sat on a nearby chair.

"Did you know anything about Kasumi being fired from NERV?"

"Not at first…when I came to the building and asked for him they said he was fired. I went to confront him and said he didn't want me to worry about him."

"Did he do anything suspicious?"

"He said he was going to find a way to make NERV pay for what they did to him but I told him there was nothing to worry about and that he deserved better than NERV." Shinji sees more tears falling out of her eyes. Shinji grabbed by the shoulder.

"Hey, it's alright."

"I'm sorry…I just miss him."

"We all suffered loss." Shinji could relate since he lost Boss and his mother. "But, please if I'm going to find Kasumi's killer I need your help here, alright?" Haruhi nodded. "When was the last time you saw Kasumi alive?"

"Yesterday he said it was the start of something new for me, him, and his new partner."

"Did he say anything about this partner?" Haruhi shook her head.

"Only that there were old friends and that they would watch each other's backs." Shinji nodded.

"Alright Haruhi, I appreciate you telling me this but don't worry I'll make sure whoever did this pays."

"Thank you." Shinji got up and left Haruhi to her mourning. He decided to use what he got and see if he and Rei can perform a lookup.

Shinji got back at the building to see Misato and Asuka who came straight at him. "Did you find anything?" Shinji nodded.

"Yeah, Rei and I are going to see if it gets us to the identity of the Rhino Dopant." Shinji opened the door to the garage and finds Rei reading her typical book. Misato and Asuka questioned why Rei would read a blank book. "Hey, aibou. I got some keywords for us to use. I need you to go to the GaiaLibrary." Rei nodded and closed her eyes and went into her trance. Meanwhile Asuka and Misato asked about the GaiaLibrary.

"What's the GaiaLibrary?"

"The GaiaLibrary is a huge database containing all the information on Earth. People, animals, things, or concepts; it has it all and Rei has it all in her head."

"She doesn't know obvious things."

"Rei just doesn't have the time to read all of it and reads what gets her curiosity."

"Keyword?"

"First keyword: Rhino Memory." Rei placed that keyword in and a lot of bookshelves disappeared but still had a lot. "Next keyword: Kasumi Hibachi." More book shelves vanished, leaving only two left. "Next keyword: Partner." Only a handful of books were left. Shinji then thought about Kasumi's last words before he was taken. "Final keyword: Female." Only one book was left, it was brown and the title was "Guilt".

"I got it." Rei proceeded to read the book and a few minutes later she came back to the real world.

"What did you learn?" Rei went to the board and she wrote…Haruhi's name. Shinji was shocked and left as a response.

"Shinji, where are you going?" Rei didn't get an answer but she only heard the HardBoiler starting.

Haruhi was just leaving work and Shinji stopped by her. He got off the HardBoiler and looked at Haruhi with a disappointed look. "Oh, detective did you find anything?"

"I did and I want know why you killed Kasumi." Haruhi looked shocked but changed her facial expression.

"My my you caught on fast. Don't get me wrong I felt bad for killing my Kasumi but I couldn't face prison so I had to silence him."

"So you are Kasumi's partner and the both of you wanted to destroy NERV."

"Damn right! My Kasumi deserved better than that and I will make sure that NERV will pay for it." Shinji only shook his head.

"Haruhi, it's not too late to change just throw the GaiaMemory away and report yourself to the police."

"What makes you think I would do that?"

"Because they're here." Misato said as she drew her gun at Haruhi. Shinji then explained.

"I knew how dangerous you would be if I approached you without any back so I'll say this again throw the memory away." Haruhi got out the memory but what she did next was the complete opposite.

"RHINO!"

She plugged it in her neck and transformed to the Rhino Dopant. She charged at Shinji but Misato pushed him out of the way. The police tried firing at her but the armor was too thick for any of them to get through. Shinji and Misato were running as fast as they could but the Rhino Dopant was right on their heels after taking care of the police.

"YOU'RE the one who made me get kill my Kasumi! I'll make you pay for that!" The Rhino Dopant yelled. Shinji tried to get the Memory Gadgets but before he could Misato grabbed his arm and tried pulling him close to her. The two ended up in a closed parking lot. The Rhino Dopant charged at them forcing Misato and Shinji to be apart. The Rhino Dopant walked in Shinji's direction. Misato tried firing at it but the Rhino Dopant just shrugged them off. But before the Dopant can make one last charge it got hit again by the RevolGarry. The RevolGarry opened up revealing Rei and Asuka. Rei approached Shinji.

"Always so half-boiled aren't you, Shinji?" Shinji just looked at her. "Don't you remember Shinji, there's no 'I' in team?" Shinji then just smiled. Rei offered him her hand and Shinji used it to get up.

"Looks like we're going to need to combine both halves of our power for this, aibou." Rei smiled and the two of them walked towards the Rhino Dopant. Shinji got out the DoubleDriver and placed it on while another materialized on Rei's.

"Who are you two?"

"We're just two halves of one detective… and of one Kamen Rider." Rei clearly stated.

"Ikuze, Rei." The two brought out their Memories.

"CYCLONE!"

"JOKER!"

"Henshin!" The two said. Rei placed hers first but disappeared into Shinji's. Shinji pressed it in and inserted the Joker Memory into the other slot and pushed both slots aside.

"CYCLONE-JOKER!" A tiny wind tornado surrounded Shinji's body just as the pixels were doing the same while a tune was playing and Rei fell on the floor, unconscious. When it was done Shinji's body was now a vessel for Kamen Rider W. The wind picked up around the group and W pointed his finger before saying in the male and female voice.

"Saa, omae no tsumi o kazoero!" Misato and Asuka were shocked by the transformation.

"No way! The First and Third Child are that half-and-half guy?" W looked at them and Rei asked them for a favor.

"Can you please take care of my body? Thank you." And with that W charged while Asuka and Misato stood there shock until Misato made her way to Rei's body. W tried punching the Dopant but it grabbed his fist and threw him to a wall. W got a hold of his senses and dodged the Rhino's charge just in time. The two ladies just got in the RevolGarry with Rei's body before the Rhino Dopant got an idea and went for the vehicle. The Rhino Dopant picked up the vehicle again but W pulled out the Bat Shot. "Not this time!" W pulled out the Luna Memory.

"LUNA!"

W inserted into the Bat Shot and it transformed back into its animal form. It shot at the Dopant like before but this time they actually seemed to hurt more. The Rhino Dopant dropped the RevolGarry and was still trying to swat the Bat Shot away. W pulled out the Heat Memory.

"HEAT!"

"HEAT-JOKER!" W's right half changed to red and his fist was now consumed by fire. He took a punch to the Rhino Dopant in the face which scorched his armor. The Bat Shot was still shooting at the Rhino Dopant causing her to miss most of her attacks. W kicked her in the chest and when she got up she decided to retreat.

"Not so fast!" W quickly got on the HardBoiler and chased after her along with the RevolGarry, but once on the highway W got on the STAG phone and sent the RevolGarry went to an opposite direction. On the highway the Rhino Dopant was throwing cars to throw W off her trail but to no avail. When the Rhino Dopant turned around she was met with the RevolGarry again which rammed into her face. The Rhino Dopant tried to get back up while W got off his bike. When the Rhino Dopant got up she was met with a fist to the gut. W placed the Joker Memory into the Maximum Drive Slot.

"JOKER! MAXIMUM DRIVE!" With that said W flew into the air and was split apart again with each fist consumed by fire.

"JOKER GRENADE!" W's halves flew past the Dopant but not before each half landed with punch. After a few punches the two halves joined together for one last punch which sent the Rhino Dopant into a huge explosion. When it ended Haruhi was unconscious on the floor with what was left of the Rhino Memory.

"Well time for the police to do their job." W stated as he returned to his bike.

On a private jet on its way to Tokyo-3, Ryubee Sonozaki, head of the Sonozaki Family and leader of Museum, was petting his cat while looking out the window. Wakana, his youngest daughter, was reluctant to go but needed a break from her fans. Kirihiko and Saeko were left in Fuuto to run Museum's activities there. Ryubee was turned his head at Wakana. "Relax, we're only going to be here for a little while to clear things up and after that we'll be back in Fuuto in no time."

"Tou-san is there anything different about Tokyo-3 from Fuuto?"

"Other than the lack of Windmills there are a lot of differences especially NERV. You'll see when we get there."

"What can you tell me about NERV?"

"Only from what our financers told me. Apparently, Gendo, NERV's leader, is practically a wild card. But, hopefully, I can…persuade him to accept our visit."

Back in the Agency Shinji was on his typewriter. "This city is just as bad as Fuuto, maybe even worse with the Angels and Gendo's scenario. But I won't let any of that happen because-."

"Don't you mean 'we', afterall, we're partners." Shinji smiled and nodded. After correcting that grammatical error Misato came in.

"So about NERV…"

"Alright. What do you want to know?"

AN: There's my latest chapter for the story! I promise the cases will be better and more suspenseful but I am new to writing mystery so give me a break here. Expect a new chapter from Code Eternal sometime around next week. So that's that.
