Alright. Chapter 5. There's going to be a change of writing, because I got some advice from people. More specifically, Bahamut0 and GhostKaiser23. I'm going to try to describe the characters to help you visual them.
(This is a recap from the last episode)
A low red light came from the phone and went to the right leg, until it made way for the flashlight. When the light and the flashlight made contact, the flashlight glowed. The Owl got up. Michael then jumped and did an air summersault and the flashlight glowed and a red energy drill appears and was near the Owl's chest. Michael then did a flying side kick and entered into the red drill, hitting the Owl. Thus, executing Michael's finishing kick, the Crimson Smash. Michael then came back after his kick, in a red figure for a couple of seconds. The Faiz symbol shows up on the Owl's chest, before crumbling into ash.
Outside, Kiba and Yuka were looking for Michael.
"Michael!" Kiba called out.
"Michael-kun!" Yuka called out. Kiba and Yuka then saw Kaido acting very strange.
"Kaido-san. We've found who the driver…was," Yuka said as her expression turned to shock. Same thing happened to Kiba. Kaido, not noticing, transformed into the Snake Orphnoch, which looked similar to a rock musician, due to the snake-like leather jacket.
"No way," Kiba said. Kaido then reverted back into his human form, and then passed out.

Episode 5: A Suspicious Woman...
Yamate Music University
Michael came out of the school looking for Yuka and Kiba. Michael found the two carrying Kaido in their arms.
"You guys," Michael called out as he ran to them. "What are you doing?"
"You see… Kaido just transformed into an Orphnoch and I want to know how," Kiba explained.
"Kaido died. My prediction says that he was killed by another Orphnoch. That Owl," Michael said.
"Sensei did?" Yuka asked.
"Yes. But, how are we going to go somewhere? Osada and I just walked on foot," Michael asked.
"I have a car," Kiba replied.
Kiba's Apartment
Kiba opened the door to his apartment, with Kaido in his arms. Michael and Yuka also came in, with Michael having a suitcase.
"Osada, how come you don't have any other clothes?" Kiba asked.
"These are the only ones I have," Yuka explained.
"How many bedrooms are there?" Michael asked.
"Four, plus the guess room," Kiba replied.
"Now, let me get one thing straight, I'm going to keep my door lock, so you better not kill me," Michael said.
"Don't Orphnochs have superhuman strength?" Kiba asked.
"Oh yeah," Michael realized.
Clover Bar
Takuma took a sip of his beer.
"I still can't believe a human defeated an Orphnoch with the Faiz gear. Murakami gave us updates that the human killed two more Orphnochs. But the good news is, another Orphnoch has been born," Takuma said.
"The more the merrier," Saeko said with a smile.
"We should we do? I'm not sure we should step in yet," Takuma asked.
"Kitazaki knows someone. I'll give him a call," Saeko said. Saeko then picked up the phone and dialed the number for Kitazaki. "Kitazaki-kun?"
Kiba's Apartment
The trio looked at Kaido on the bed in the main room of Kiba's apartment. Michael was wearing an orange sweatshirt with green camp pants. Yuka was wearing a tan skirt witha purple sweater. Kiba was wearing black pants and a purple buttoned down shirt.
"This person. Will he really become like me and Kiba?" Yuka asked.
"Probably," Michael replied.
"But, there has to be some good Orphnochs right?" Kiba asked. Michael then took out something from his pocket. It was an American quarter on a string.
"Do you have paper?" Michael asked.
"There's some in the lower cabinet, why?" Kiba replied.
"I need it," Michael explained. Kiba then got a piece of paper and gave it to Michael. Michael then went to the table and sat in a chair.
(Cue Harm's Way by VideoHelper: 0:00-0:38)
Michael then extended his arm towards the paper, with the stringed coin in his hand. Michael then closed his eyes.
"What is he doing?" Kiba asked.
"I think he's trying to see if they're any good," Yuka assumed. Michael then opened his eyes.
"Only a few Orphnochs want to live as human. However, a majority of them lose themselves to the power," Michael said.
"There has to be some kind of mistake. You may have not seen it right," Kiba said.
"My predictions are never wrong," Michael said.
(End Track)
"But I still don't understand…anything. What happened to me or what should I do now," Yuka said.
"Even I don't know. But, I don't think we'll become like what Michael said," Kiba said. "How did this guy become an Orphnoch anyway?"
"Another Orphnoch killed him," Michael said.
"What do you mean?" Yuka asked.
"Even though I'm not one. Orphnochs have the ability to turn humans into Orphnochs. That is, what they call, increasing allies," Michael explained.
"But, I can't do something like that," Kiba said. He then walked down the bedroom stairs.
"But, you attacked two humans," Michael added.
"You said it yourself, I didn't know what was going on," Kiba said.
"So you like them, the humans?" Yuka asked.
"Of course! We're the same humans!" Kiba responded.
"But, we do transform into monsters. That probably means we're not human anymore. Just monsters disguising ourselves as humans," Yuka said.
"That can't be! I'm human! I'm HUMAN!" Kiba shouted. Kiba then was seen going out of the door.
"Where are you going?" Michael asked.
"To Smart Brain – there are a lot of things I want to ask," Kiba replied as he left. Michael then turned to Yuka, who appeared unsure of herself.
"Am I human?" Yuka asked herself.
Smart Brain
At Smart Brain, Kiba was having an argument with one of the Smart Brain employees.
"I can't do it," Kiba said, wearing his tan jacket. "No matter what the reason is, to attack people…"
Kiba was talking to Saeko, of the Lucky Clover. She was wearing a white blouse with black pants and heels.
"Well that's too bad. What did Yuka-chan say?" Saeko asked.
"Of course it's impossible! In the first place I wasn't told about any of this! What is an Orphnoch? Why do we need to increase out allies?" Kiba asked as he walked closing to Saeko.
"Very well. Since you have so many questions. An Orphnoch is the evolution of a human and animal/plant," Saeko explained. "You shouldn't feel any remorse about attacking humans…because you're contributing to the future of evolution. If you want to ask more, as the president."
"Then let me meet the president," Kiba demanded. Kiba had every right to meet with him.
"Well, he's out meeting with someone," Saeko said. Kiba then ran and opened the glass door. Kiba then went to an elevator. When Kiba got in the elevator, he found out that the elevator was taking him high. Like, very high. The elevator then stopped on floor 54. Kiba then saw the president sign in the door across from him and quickly ran towards the door.
Kiba's Apartment
After a long slumber, metaphorically, Kaido woke up. He was wearing the same clothes as yesterday, except no cap and jacket. Michael and Yuka sighed in relief.
"So, you're awake," Michael said.
"You guys again?" Kaido said annoyed.
"Are you okay?" Yuka asked.
"Yeah. Did you guys kidnapped me or something?" Kaido asked.
"No," Yuka replied.
"It might be simple but we don't have the guts to do it," Michael added. "Do you remember anything?"
"Oh, yeah. I sort of remember having this weird dream about a giant owl," Kaido said.
"Um…That wasn't a dream," Michael said.
"What time is it?!" Kaido asked in panic. Kaido looked at his watch. His eyes widen. "I'm two minutes late!"
"Um, umm wait a second!" Yuka called out.
"I don't quite understand miss, but let's meet again," Kaido flirted. "You're more beautiful than a rose."
"True," Michael agreed. Yuka turned to Michael with a really expression.
"What?" Michael asked. Kaido then ran off. "Hey!"
"Aidos, aidos!" Kaido called out. Michael took the Faiz gear and ran after him.
"Wait!" Yuka called out. Yuka then grabbed her white jacket, and followed Michael. Yuka and Michael then walked out of the apartment building. Unknown to them, a young woman, who was wearing a light brown winter jacket, on a motorcycle, with the Faiz symbol was following them. And unknown to her, a man in a bicycle, whom was wearing a tan buttoned down shirt, with a gray shirt under, blue jeans, black shoes, and goggle-like sunglasses, was watching her. The woman then rode off to follow Michael and Yuka.
Train Station
Outside of a train station, a young man, in a dark brown leather jacket, with a white hoodie under, was handing out flyers. Kaido then came running towards him and took the flyers.
"Hey!" The young man said.
"Taxi!" Kaido called out, who was now wearing his light blue jean jacket and black cap. Kaido got in the taxi and flew the papers out of the car window.
"What's that guy's problem?" The young man asked. Yuka then bumped into the young man. Yuka's phone then flew out of her pocket.
"Oh, sorry, are you ok?" The young man asked. Yuka didn't saw a word and ran off. The young man then picked up Yuka's phone. "Hey! You dropped this!"
Meanwhile, Michael was looking for Kaido.
"That guy, I don't want him to lose control of himself," Michael thought. Then a motorcycle then came towards him and stopped. The young woman took of her helmet. She had brown shoulder length hair and brown eyes.
"Who are you?" Michael asked.
"Hand over the belt," The young woman demanded.
"Hey. Are you an Orphnoch?" Michael asked.
"Not really. If I was I would've attacked you," The young woman replied.
"Then, you shouldn't just demanded to give you a suitcase," Michael said.
"I'm Sonada Mari. Satisfied?" The young woman introduced herself.
"Even if you tell me your name. Why would I give you this suitcase?" Michael asked.
"Because I had it first. How did you get it?" Mari asked.
"I found it in the lake. Did you throw it out?" Michael asked.
"Don't be stupid. I dropped it by accident," Mari said.
"Then why did you have it?" Michael asked.
"My father sent it to me to fight those monsters. I'm assuming those are Orphnoch," Mari said. "You don't have the right to use it."
"What are you saying? I defeated four Orphnochs with this," Michael said.
"But still, it's my belt," Mari said. Mari then snatched the belt out of Michael's hand, put on her helmet, and rode off.
"Hey!" Michael yelled. "Why at a time like this?"
Michael then ran after Mari.
Smart Brain President Room
"Kiba Yuji-kun? I'm Murakami Kyouji, I recently became president of Smart Brain. I finally get to meet you," Murakami said to Kiba, after the latter broke into the president room to meet with him.
"I also wanted to meet you," Kiba said.
"After experiencing death, you revived as an Orphnoch all on your own, making you an Original," Murakami said to Kiba. "Originals very rarely manifest. However... you've refused to attack humans."
"I'm...human, that's why!" Kiba responded.
"Every so often there are stubborn people like you," Murakami commented on Kiba's decision. "However... With me as president now...your way of living is unacceptable."
"Why do I have to be accepted by you?" Kiba asked Murakami. "Also...what is the aim of this company?"
"Well then... I can only say this... People are born crying. Isn't this inevitable? However, at death, whether one cries or laughs is up to that person," Murakami explained. "In short... Our goal is to show God on how we're the evolved ones who should've been the superior. Humans are short-lived and make useless decisions that changes their lives for the worst. We, Orphnoch, are the superior. We can't die from humanity's deaths. Therefore... You're not longer part of the side of humanity."
"I'm...human," Kiba told Murakami.
"The lowest of the low, huh?" Murakami asked himself.
Docks
Mari rode to the docks, for seemingly no reason. She was stopped by a bicycle rider. Mari took off her helmet and stepped off her bike.
"Hey! That was dangerous!" Mari called out. The bicycle rider stepped out of his bicycle, took of his goggle-like sunglasses with his face fading to gray, and transforming into the Flyingfish Orphnoch.
Mari then took out the suitcase and opened it. Mari put on the belt and opened the phone.
555
Standing By!
Mari put the phone up in the air.
Henshin!
Mari put the phone in the belt and it sparked electricity.
Error!
The belt came off and Mari was forced to come flying into the cement. The Flyingfish generated harpoon gun and aimed it at Mari. A leg kicked the harpoon gun out of the Flyingfish's hand. Then the leg kicked the Flyingfish in the chest sending him rolling in the ground.
"You!" Mari called out. Michael turned to Mari and then the belt.
Michael put on the belt, along with the accessories.
555
Standing By!
(Insert Dead or Alive by Shinichi Ishihara; 0:16-0:38)
Michael then put the phone in the belt.
Complete!
Michael then transformed into Faiz. Michael then started to fight the Flyingfish Orphnoch. Michael missed most of his punches. The Flyingfish damaged Michael's Fullmetal Lung armor with his fins. The Flyingfish then grabbed his harppon gun and shot Michael. Mari then ran and tried to take the belt off of Michael.
(End Insert Song)
"What are you doing?" Michael asked.
"That belt is mine!" Mari said, as the Flyingfish then shot Michael again (Cue Low End Fury; 0:00-0:14, 0:47-1:15), causing him to fall down due to the arrow. Michael then rolled on the ground and did a roundhouse kick to the Flyingfish's face, causing him to then fall in the water. The Flyingfish then came out of the water, with a merman tail, which was his secondary form is called the Swimming Form.
"He got away," Michael said, as he then pressed the end call (End Track), causing the Sol Foam and Sol Metal to disappear. Mari then snatched the belt. "Hey! What is your deal?"
Michael then ran after Mari, who got on her bike and rode off.
"What's with this girl?" Michael asked himself.
As Mari rides off, a young man in a sports jersey, watches her ride off. His face fades to white, revealing his identity as an Orphnoch.
To Be Continued
Alright, that was Chapter 5. I know there is some people out there who don't like Mari, because of her character being antagonistic to the main rider. I'll try to fix this, if you have any ideas for that, please share them.
Reviews:
Tao Solaric: Thank you. I'll try to make Michael a decent to good character. I don't want to make an annyoing protangist like Takeru from Ghost, or an emotionless character like Tendou from Kabuto (The latter not being a bad character). Kaido will become part of the main cast, along with Mari and Keitaro.
Fun Fact: Did you know Yoshio Urasawa (Head writer of Gekisou Sentai Carranger) was apporached by Shigenori Takatera, who was the chief producer of Carranger, apporached Urasawa with a plot for Kamen Rider Hibiki. Urasawa politely turned Takatera down because it was too full of gag taste.
Also, Kiramager just ended. It was a great season. Along with Ryusoulger, in my opinion this was sentai's comeback. Let's hope Zenkaiger will be good. Again, thanks for reading and I'll see you next time. Ja-nee.
