Accel-Aid World


Level 4: A Serious Quest

In the last chapter we finished with our first introduction with Ex-Aid. Now we return to Emu, after this first case of a Bugster infection after 14 decades of this supposed dead virus. With more and more cases of the Bugster infection. The need of new Riders in Japan is needed. Now with a new quest, comes a new ally.


We are Emu

Another day, another job in the life of Ijima Emu. I walk through the halls of the hospital. Heading towards the elevator, I give a small pause to bunch of doctors huddling around each other. I walk over. "Whats going on?" I ask. "Huh? Do you not know?" One of the nurses say with scorn in her voice.

Nurse 2:(puts a hand on Nurse 1's shoulder) Give him a break. He's an Intern, he doesn't know that much about the Medical world yet.

Emu:(raises eyebrow) Well? Whats all the hubub?

Nurse 1:(backs up) Well the master surgeon, Kagami Natumi.

Talk about a mouth full name. "So she's coming here?" The nurses nod. "She had an important surgery in america, but now she's coming to our hospital!" They sound less like Nurses and more like fan girls at a music concert. Well if she's anything like they are talking about, she must be an incredible woman. "Well of course, the director is also her father." The director? Oh yeah, his name is Kagami Raito. Well this is the first I've heard of her, not even the director has talk about her.

Emu:(smiles) Well thanks for the heads up, I needed else where. But thanks!

I head to the elevator, and input the code.


Lowering down to CR, I head up into the meeting room. "Asuna-san?" I look around to see no one. I guess she's not here yet. I walk over to take a seat, when I notice a game machine in the corner. "Huh?" I walk over to it, and I see a sort of room. "Morning Emu~!" Poppi says jumping up into frame. "WHA!" I fall back onto my ass.

Poppi:(Jumps out of screen) AH! Emu! Are you ok?

Emu:(nods) Fine. Just you surprised me is all. But...how are you in-

Poppi:(finger on cheek) How can I enter the game and real world?(smiles) Well….I'm a Bugster!

I roll back onto my feet, and I take out my Gamer Driver and Gashat. "No no no no no! Wait! I'm not infectious!" "You sure?!" She nods. "Sigh~ Fine. If you really were a evil Bugster I wouldn't be here to talk to you." I put the Driver and Gashat onto the desk, and I take a seat.

Emu: Anyways, I wanted to ask you about something.

Poppi:(puts up finger) Hold on. Costume! Change!(spins around) Go~!(changes clothes) This way is much better, when it's about something serious. So what's your question?

Emu:(crosses arms) I looked up info on the Bugster Virus in the CR records, I found mention of previous Riders before me.

Asuna: Ah.(nods) Yes, their were other riders before. Back in 2017 I worked with the original riders themselves. Their was Brave, Snipe, Laser, and Finally Ex-Aid. In Fact, you remind me a lot of the previous Ex-Aid, Emu.

Emu:(tilts head) I do?

Asuna:(nods) Yeah, you and the other Rider.

Emu:(tilts head) Wait. What about another Rider? When was their another Rider? How many Riders are their?

Asuna:(puts up a hand) Okay, hold on. There's only you and one other Rider currently. She's on her way from america. Kagami Nanami. Her name and personality really do remind me of Brave. So of course, she would have that game.

"Who?" On the screen appears a picture of a woman with short cyan hair, lime green eyes, well built figure, all in white hospital clothes. "This is the other Rider. Kagami Natumi." She's Natumi-san? Speaking of, I would like to know more about her. "What's so impressive about her?" Asuna brings up a file and sends the data over to me, a master surgeon, practitioner of multiple different surgical maneuvers. "There's nothing I can't cut through?"

Asuna:(nods) Yeah, that's sort of her catch phrase.

Emu:(chuckles) I-I see.


Meanwhile We are observer

A woman walks through the airport and out into the parking area, waiting for him is the director. "You know dad, you don't have to pick me up." Raito smiles and walks over. "Well, it's good manners. Besides I need to catch you up on recent events, I couldn't tell you because you were on your flight." Raito takes one of the woman's luggage.

Natumi:(sighs) Well then I guess there's a problem then?

Raito:(nods) I'll tell you on the way to CR.


Location Change: Ministry of Health

Hinata: Thank you for providing us with the restored Transformation System. Now, we can finally once again fight back against the Bugsters.

Tyler:(smiles and nods) Don't worry about it. I'm only doing what I can. Moreover, how are the witnesses being handled?

Hinata: The Ministry of Health is dealing with the media as we speak. And don't worry, the reality of Brain Burst wont be spoken by their users outloud. Everything must be kept under wraps…


We are Emu

"Speaking of. Hold onto this! It'll alert you when there's an Emergency." Asuna-san hands me a Stethoscope, but it's like the one that Asuna-san used to diagnose Souta-kun. "Whoa...Hey speaking of which I-" "So you're the other Rider?" A soft but emotionless voice says walking up the stairs.

Asuna:(turns to Natumi) Ah. Natumi-san, Director. Welcome back.

Natumi:(Looks at Emu)...Dad, I see no reason for two doctors in CR. And especially an Intern Doctor.(Scoffs) I have no need of your existence as a Rider.

Natsumi-san takes out a Gamer Driver and places next to mine. "And what game, do you have?" Natsumi-san let's out another sigh, before taking out a blue Gashat with the name Taddle Quest. "Ah! Taddle Quest?! The RPG known for it's vast amounts of swords and magic! The game that was so popular 14 decades ago!" So wait? Are all the Gashats based on games from 14 decades ago?


Meanwhile We are observer

Atop a building, the green dragon like monster steps up to the edge, on his right arm is a purple arm device. Pointing it out towards the city, a light yellow smoke is released upon the city. "Fate is just like...a puzzle game, don't you think?" Says another man, sitting down to the left of the dragon monster.

Monster:(steps down) Is it really okay for us to sit back like this, Pallad?

Pallad:(Smiles and stands up) Well, I guess I should at least go and say Hi.


We are Emu

I sit in my office thinking about what Nanami-san said. "I have no need of your existence as a Rider." So...Maybe there really is no need for a doctor like me…. Picking up the Stethoscope it begins to ring. "Whoa!" "It's an Emergency call!" Asuna says. And with that surprise, I'm taken with Asuna-san towards the Infected Patient.

Location Change: Park

"Rensuke! What's wrong? Rensuke!" A couple, a teen on the ground in pain. Calling for help. "Are you Ms. Gouda Asami, the one who called us?" Asuna-san asks. "Yes! There's something weird coming out of his body!" I rush over to him. I immediately rush over. Asuna-san calms Asami-san, down. Taking the Stethoscope, I diagnose Rensuke-san. Heart symbols. That's when from behind, a car pulls up. And outcomes Natumi-san, with two nurses. "Situation?"

Emu:(stands up) Infected. Bugster.

Natumi:(nods) Then. Let's begin.

"What?" The two nurses walk up beside her. "Gamer Driver." One nurse nods and puts the driver up to Natsumi-san's waist. The belt strap swings around and locks onto the other side. "Rider Gashat." The second Nurse hands her, Taddle Quest.

Asami: What exactly is he beginning?

Asuna: The operation.

"Wh-Wait What?!" Asami-san exclaims. Natsumi-san press the button on the Gashat. "Taddle Quest!" A proud trumpet sounds. Behind her, appears a start screen, as chests appear across the area. The level generates. "This level map has to be Taddle Quest!" Suddenly Rensuke-sans eyes glow red. Standing up he turns to Natsumi-san.

Ren:(smirks) You think you stand a chance against my Mana, fool!?

Rensuke-sans body is engulfed into a monster like with Souta-kun. This time instead of a humanoid body, it's lower half is like a spider with multiple legs, while the upper half, is like the top of a tower with the core visible. I rush over to Asuna-san and Asami-san. "Over here! Hurry!" we rush Asami-san to safety. I turn back to Natsumi-san. Putting her Gashat out in front of her, with her right hand. "Henshin." Flipping it down she puts the Gashat into the Driver. "Gashat!" The Character selection circle appears around her, she extend out her left hand hitting the Brave icon. "Let's Game! Metcha Game! Mutcha Game! What's your name?! I'm a Kamen Rider!" Brave's level 1 look is similar to mine, in that it's body is big and bulky. Difference being the face, with a Knight motif and a shield. An energy circle appears around her as a simple sword enters her hand.

Brave: We will now begin the Bugster elimination. Proceeding with level 1. Separate the Bugster from the patient.

Asuna:(turns to Emu) Emu! You to! Brave has the Bugster's attention!

Emu:(nods) Right. Here we go.(straps on belt)

Holding out my Gashat I press the button. "Might Action X~!" The jungle plays my hair flows in the wind. I smile, swing the Gashat around in front of me, "Henshin!" Facing it down and I put it in. "Gashat! Let's Game! Metcha Game! Mutcha Game! What's your name?! I'm a Kamen Rider!" "Now then. Dai Henshin!" I gesture my right hand across my face, with my left hand being under it. I bring my left hand down, and put my right hand on the handle and I open the belt up. "Gachan! Level Up! Mighty Jump! Mighty Kick! Mighty, Mighty Action X!" I change into Level 2. That's when as I pose, Asuna-san closes the Driver. "Gatan!" I'm reverted back to my Level 1 state.

Ex-Aid:(turns to Asuna) Wh-What are you doing?

Asuna: You can't level up just yet.

Ex-Aid:(turns to Bugster) It's always better to pay with a high Level, it's much easier to take down the enemy, you know? Dai Henshin!(Opens driver)

Asuna:(closes driver) You can't separate the Bugster from the patient unless you're level 1!

Brave: You don't even know how to operate? We'll should've expected as much. You're just an intern after all.

I hope to god, this doesn't turn into a thing with her.


See you next game…?
