Many thanks to the readers who reviewed this fic, and I really appreciate it a lot and this inspired me to bring in the next chapter in which the story is now advancing further, and the moment you've been waiting for has arrive. Chiaki now takes the spotlight as the threat has finally appeared.

Moreover, this chapter will also pick up where the last chapter left, so read on and enjoy!

The scene shifts inside the arcade where the event is ongoing, and there you can see that Nagisa is having a good time and kept on playing, and several minutes later, he reached the final stage where more visitors flocked the game, surprised to see that someone has reached the final level in one go and are eyeing the teenage boy seeing that he is an expert gamer in the shoot genre and this piqued their interest and at the same time enjoying in watching the game, curious to see how Nagisa could reach the final boss and how he can beat it.

"Whoa..."

"Look at that..."

"He reached the final level..."

"Is that kid an expert or something?"

"How old is he?"

"Hey...he us about to facethe final boss!"

"Seriously?"

"That kid is something..."

After several minutes, the visitors were awed in seeing that Nagisa has reached the final boss, where he showed his skills in playing the game, and managed to play his way through and soon confronted the final boss, and the visitors watched the scene as Nagisa began showcasing his gaming skills, dodging, attacking, evading, and shooting his way through, earning points and slowly weakened the boss, and Nagisa steadily worked his through, and eventually defeated the final boss, and the teen boy smirked as he felt satisfied for now, having channeled his stress and for the time being, he felt relieved as he momentarily forget the pain he went through amid the cheers from the visitors who were impressed at Nagisa's skills in finishing the game in one go.

"That was awesome!"

"Way to go, kid!"

"You're a certified gamer!"

"You ought to join a gaming tournament!"

"Yeah...you got the potential!"

"You can gain recognition...or something bigger than that!"

"You can even win a prize or something..."

"So, kid...what's your name?"

Nagisa stood up and stretched his arms, feeling good at what he just did and leaves the arcade game and looked around, seeing a lot of people gathering around, and there Nagisa saw Kokichi Oma walking towards the center of the stage, smiling and waving at the crowd, in which they cheered aloud as they are waiting for Oma's announcement, and Nagisa stared in curiosity, and then stared directly towards Oma, in which for some reason he seemed to hold some animosity towards the president/CEO of Genmu Corporation.

The scene then shifts towards Oma as he waved his hand and faced the crowd, as they are cheering and roaring in anticipation, some are holding placards and they were lining up in which they have been here for several hours, and seeing how devoted the audience are, Oma smirked and decided to get to the main point, holding the microphone and began speaking to the crowd to address the reason for holding this JOYOUS EVENT which the crowd began applauding in anticipation.

"Hello, everyone!"

"Yo!"

"Thank you for waiting...and for being patient..."

"Yeah, whatever!"

"Is the game ready?"

"Simmer down, everyone...I know you are DYING to wait for it...but wait no more...it is here!"

"Oh yeah!"

"Finally!"

Oma pointed his finger at the large screen, which lit and the image showed that the much anticipated launch game, MIGHTY ACTION X, is now ready for playing, as well as for sale, and the audience roared in approval, which they began lining up to have a turn to play for free, as the visitors were dying to try out the platform game that they've been waiting for so long, and now they have the chance to test it out to their hearts' contents.

Nagisa just stared in a rather dismayed look seeing the visitors are like hungry animals wanting to get their hands on a video game, and sighed as he decided to loiter around just to pass up some time, as he initially appeared to be uninterested, until he recalled what he saw earlier which he saw Yukizome picking up a similar game and this appeared to made the teen boy change his mind, and decided to try and approach Oma to arrange a deal of sorts, though he will have to wait given so many people here and that he wished not to give himself away, wanting to remain anonymous for the time being.

Ch. 8: Ākēdo no konran; Reberu-1 debyū

The scene shifts somewhere within Tokyo, where Saburu then noticed that Kibo is heading towards an alley where several delinquents are seen following him there, where a minute later, he heard shots coming from the alley, and partially saw some blood splattering on the ground, which prompted Saburu to head there, where he saw the delinquents are killled, lying in a pool of blood and their deaths are due to head injuries that stemmed from a weapon blast, and standing there is a figure clad in black and purple armor, its chest plate has a game pad controller motif, and his eyes were big and its helmet had a spiky hair design.

Saburu and Deneb confronted the armored assailant, and they noted that he is the one who killed the delinquents and Deneb told Saburu that the assailant may be a Kamen Rider, much to Saburu's annoyance.

"Master...beware..."

"Huh?"

"I believe that guy's a Kamen Rider..."

"Seriously...?"

"I think so..."

"Great...just what I need..."

"What will you do now?"

"Obviously...you know my answer..."

Saburu took out what appeared to be a thick card and slota it through the buckle of a metallic belt where the voice is heard that confirms the activation.

Zero Belt: "ALTAIR FORM..."

Saburu's body is encased in green armor, and his helmet shows projections of a bull that forms the helmet eyes, and he is niw encased in armor and transformed into Kamen Rider Zeronos, and the two armored figures are locked in a stand-off, and a confrontation is imminent.

The armored figure just stared at Zeronos in a stoic manner as if he wasn't fazed and stood still as Zeronos made his move and brought out his weapon, and the weapon appeared to be a sword and engages the black/purple armored figure in combat, but the armored Kibo simply dodges the sword strikes and at one point caught the blade and landed a punch on Zeronos' chest, sending him back and Deneb approached his master out of concern, and then fired bullets from his armored gloves which the armored Kibo backed away.

"Saburo-sama!"

"Ow..."

"Are you okay?"

"Yeah...I'm fine..."

"That guy is different from the ones we faced..."

"So you say..."

"We should be careful."

"Right."

Deneb's action gave Zeronos time to recover, and he began to convert his sword into a crossbow, and both him and Deneb opened fire, hitting the armored Kibo which caused the enemy to stagger back, and both Zeronos and Deneb exchanged HIGH FIVE gestures, but the armored Kibo was not daunted and aimed his palm at the two targets, firing what appeared to be a laser blaster and struck the two, sending them back towards and then fired a full-charged blast, sending the two flying back and ended up falling inside a huge garbage bin, and the cover shuts itself.

The armored figure then left the scene as if nothing happened, and soon passing pedestrians shrieked upon seeing the dead bodies and called the police, which they soon arrived and after a few minutes the police are facing a blank wall on who is behind this, not knowing that Kibo is behind this.

Much later, the scene shifts at the dorm where Hajime Hinata is staying, taking a rest after his trip from the airport, and he sat on the couch as he is recalling the events that happened during the 18-month time skip, and as he is about to plan his next move, his cellphone rang and he answered it, where Hinata sighed in dismay as the caller turn out to be his distant grandfather, Izuru Kamukura, and there Izuru greeted his grandson, asking him how his trip was, acting like a doting relative who appeared elated to hear that Hajime is back.

However, Hainata displayed an annoyed tone to a degree and told him that he is not keen to pretend that he is grateful for the BLESSINGS he got, and he went straight to the point, asking him why Izuru summoned him back to Tokyo, and what does he have something in mind, which Izuru smirked as hearing Hinata's animosity-driven tone shows that teen boy, now aged 17 years old, is now on Izuru's level, and there he told Hinata the reason why, which Hinata gave an annoyed reply yet he seemed to be intetested at the moment.

"...that is your reason...?"

"Yes, Hajime-kun."

"How boring."

"Oh, come on...it's not that bad..."

"How so?"

"Because of a threat that may erupt anytime now."

"A threat?"

"Yes. Its like this..."

Izuru told Hinata that there is a looming threat that would threaten all of Japan, mostly in Tokyo, and told him he is the CHOSEN ONE and that he will receive a GIFT from someone, but Hinata said he has already met the person INDIRECTLY, and yet he said he will head for Hope's Peak University Hospital to hear more about this threat, and cuts the line. Hinata then told his driver that they are leaving for Hope's Peak, which the driver nodded, and the two left the dorm as they are heading out.

At Hope's Peak, Izuru snickered as after his conversation with his distant grandson, seeing that sending him overseas was a good choice and now he is sure that Hinata can be of use, and there another person is sitting in front of him, in which he is new, and he appeared to be in his late 30's, and Izuru nodded as the person stood up and bowed in respect, in which Izuru acknowledges him, as he appointed the person as a FIGUREHEAD DIRECTOR, acting as being the manager of the university hospital though Izuru himself still retains overall authority within the university hospital, and told the person what is at stake here and what he should do from this point on.

"So...you know the drift?"

"Yes, sir."

"Be the guide to Hajime. I place my trust in you."

"I thank you for placing your trust in me. It is an honor."

"Now, now...no need to be humble..."

"But still...I am grateful."

"Hee-hee...well...time for you to get to work."

"Yes, sir."

The person standing before Izuru is identified as Jin Kirigiri, and he bowed to Izuru saying he will do his job and will be the guide to those involved in this secret project in order to keep the patients, and the public, safe from the looming threat, and he left the office as Izuru watches the window, wondering where this would lead to now that the events are about to be set and is rather excited to see what awaits Hinata and what this threat can do should it appear unexpectedly.

-x-

Much later, Yukizome was walking the streets as she is looking for Sota, wondering if he escaped on his own or if someone helped him sneak out of the hospital, fearing that things would escalate if anything where to happen to him, and by then she got a phonecall from Jin, and she is rather surprised to hear that Izuru appointed him as her acting superior while in the university hospital, and there he asks her what is she doing right now.

Jin is quite alarmed when told of the situation, and asks her if she knows any reason why Sota would leave in such a hurry, and there Yukizome suddenly recalled hearing Sota wanting to attend an event, which Jin recalled about an event where a video game is about to be launched, and he provided her the details and the location, in which both realize that if the PROBLEM arises there, it would cause a panic and both agreed that they would have to force Sota out of there if needed.

"Yukizome...you got to go there and find that boy!"

"I will!"

"Drag him out if you have to! We can't let anyone find out should THAT happens!"

"I know!"

"Did you happen to meet THAT PERSON?"

"No...not yet..."

"Alright...keep me posted..."

"Roger!"

After cutting off the line, Yukizome hurried, and soon she reached the arcade building where the event is ongoing, and she went inside, looking around in a panicked state, seeing that there are so many people attending the event, and finding Sota won't be easy, and she began to search every arcade games and glance at every person playing just to check if Sota is there, and her action was noticed by Nagisa, whom he recalled seeing her earlier, and this earned his curiosity as he wonder what is she doing here, and he began to secretly follow her.

As she looked around, she saw the one section that the most people gathered, and saw that the people are lining up in a queue as they are going to try playing the launched video game, MIGHTY ACTION X, and there she recalled that Sota wanted to try playing it, and Yukizome approached the crowd and is shocked to see Sota watching the screen in excitement, with Chiaki accompanying him, and there she confronted Chiaki asking why she brought Sota here without official clearance, which Chiaki explained that Sota is just stressed and bringing him here would alleviate it, and asks her why Yukizome is insistent in keeping Sota inside the hospital if the problem is just a headache, which Yukizome appeared reluctant to tell her and said that Sota's condition is not an ordinary illness, confusing Chiaki.

"Eh? If it is not a headache...then what is it?"

"Um...well..."

"If it is just a simple illness...then maybe having Sota-kun enjoy himself a little bit would help..."

"It is not just a simple illness...it is more deeper than that..."

"Then what?"

"Can't explain right now...classified information..."

"But..."

"I'm taking the boy back...he is undergoing OPERATION at this moment..."

Yukizome then went towards Sota, telling him that he is going back to the hospital and will have an OPERATION, which the young boy refused, saying he wanted to stay here and enjoy, resulting in an argument, but then the boy clutched his head in pain, screaming loudly which attracted the attention of other people, but opted to ignore him thinking he is just getting attention, but then small, machine-like objects came out from both sides of Sota's ears and covered his hands and head, forming a helmet and a pair of gauntlets with claws, and began attacking people nearby, clawing and slashing them, resulting in a panic as the event began to turn bloody, and panicked guests began running away which resulted in a stampede.

Yukizome and Chiaki stared wide eyed at what they are seeing, and followed Sota as the young boy attacked more victims before heading outside, going after more victims before stopping at a parking lot, where more metal-like objects came out from Sota's ears and covered the boy's whole body, encasing him and now the young boy now resembled an armored attacker, increasing in mass and weight, and is now poised to carry out more attacks.

Yukizome clenched her fists seeing that the threat has appeared and is dismayed that she is unable to contain it, and there Chiaki demanded to tell her what is really going on, and Yukizome sighed as she reluctantly told her the situation, about an unexplained phenomenon that has struck Tokyo in the last few years, where it infected a select few victims which caused the victim to suffer a series of illnesses which, if left untreated, would result in their deaths, and the doctors were unable to figure out the cause of the diseases, but a select few from the Ministry of Health managed to figure out the cause, and pointed out to Chiaki about what is happening to Sota right now.

"Then those things are...?"

"Yes, Nanami...what you saw is the threat...and for some reasons it manifested inside the victim...becoming a specific illness and slowly but gradually takes control and consumes the host...and if left untreated it will completely consume the victim until he/she dies..."

"No..."

"That is why I wanted Sota to remain in the hospital...to try yo slow it down until those things are extracted from the victim's body..."

"Sota-kun..."

"And now it won't be easy in helping the boy..."

"..."

"You should not have brought him here in the first place."

Chiaki watched the scene in horror, as the possessed Sota is wrecking everything in sight, and she asks Yukizome if there is any way to save Sota, in which Yukizome said that there is a chance, as she opened the briefcase and brought out the video game cartridge and a device that resembled a belt buckle, saying that these items are the only things needed to extract the cause of the possession from Sota's body, and right now she would have no choice but to wait for the PERSON to arrive and deal with the situation, saying that only a doctor can perform the OPERATION.

Chiaki glanced at the items on Yukizome's hands, then glanced at the possessed Sota, and then she glanced at the scene behind her, where the other victims lay dead after the bloody attack, and wanting to save Sota, she resolves to take matters into her own hands, wanting to put a stop to the rampage and she grabbed the items from Yukizome and went towards the scene where the possessed Sota is about to head for a crowded area, and Yukizome tries to stop Chiaki, believing that she has no right wielding the said devices.

"Hey!"

"..."

"What are you doing?"

"I will save Sota-kun."

"You can't just use that! Only doctors can use the devices!"

"I am a doctor...and an expert gamer."

"Those are no ordinary toys!"

"Leave it to me."

Chiaki glanced at Yukizome and smirked, saying that she will deal with the problem as she sees this as a video game scenario, and told her to have faith in her as she prepares to get ready, putting the device in front of her waist, where it forms the belt, and Yukizome stared in surprise as Chiaki stared at the belt, then at the cartridge, having deduced on what to do next and now she is ready to go into action as she inserted the cartridge onto the slot that is located at the left side area if the belt.

"Henshin."

Cartridge: "GASHATO! LET'S GAME...ME-CHA GAME...MU-CHA GAME...WHA-CHA NAME...I'M A KAMEN RIDER!"

-TRANSFORMATION SEQUENCE-

The scene shows that Chiaki is surrounded by a series of holographic images that are encircling around her, and she tapped one of the images with her finger, and the image went towards Chiaki, encasing her in a whitish armor which made her resembled a human adult sized, chibi-looking armored figure, which vaguely resembled an armored trooper from Star Wars, the only difference is that the helmet's EYES were so big making it look like a super-deformed person.

Another noticeable feature is that the armored person sports a BANGS, which is colored pink, implying that it has a HAIR.

-END TRANSFORMATION SEQUENCE-

Yukizome stared wide-eyed seeing that Chiaki successfully initiated her transformation, and she is baffled as to how she figure it out and wondered if she has what it takes to stop the rampage, since Chiaki is unaware of the full scope of the situation, and she wondered if she should leave the situation in Chiaki's hands or not, since she is still torn in whether to go look for the CHOSEN PERSON or not, and she realized that she would get the dressing down if she leaves the devices in Chiaki's hands fearing that the intern doctor might run off with the devices.

To Be Continued... .

Looks like things are escalating, as Sota is now in danger, and the threat has appeared...and has killed scores of victims...and now Chiaki acts as a real doctor and is determined to save the victim...and now she is ready to face the threat...though in a not so expected way.

Yup, Chiaki has assumed an unexpected power to fight the threat, and that is just the start. More are on the way.

Preview:

The next chapter will show a lot of action, as Chiaki battles the threat, only to face a more ADVANCED version of the threat, and Chiaki will LEVEL UP to stop the threat and save the patient...

See you in 2 to 3 weeks...
