AN: Hiii!
I landed on my feet, quickly shooting at Lung as I jumped up into the air again, kicking him in the face while my blasts hit him like cannonballs. CANNONBALLS MADE OF STEAM HEAVY AS IRON!
Taylor stood on the roof still, controlling bugs to attack Lung's thugs. After a few moments, they were either knocked out, injured too much to fight, or had ran away like wimps. WIMPS I SAY! I glanced at Her while Lung was shooting at me with FIRE BALLS!
"Do the thing! DO IT!" I shouted to her, as she looked at the Transteam gun nervously…
And then… She shook the Faust Bat… Turned the cap, and put it in the gun…
"Bat!"
"NOW YOU SAY JOUKETSU!" I shouted to her, running literal circles around Lung.
"J-Jouketsu!" She exclaimed, stumbling over the words as she pulled the Trigger.
"Mistmatch! Bat… Ba-Bat… Fire!" Standing there where Taylor was standing before, was Night Rogue… With a skirt. I wanted to make it a bit easier to tell since she was kinda petite in the place most girls have pride. I think they do anyway…?
"Introducing my beautiful partner, Night Rogue!" I announced, jumping up next to her, and pointing the Transteam gun at Lu- … "Night Rouge…?"
Taylor turned towards me, seeming embarrassed. "Y-Yeah…?"
"… I dropped my gun…" I whispered to her.
"… What?"
"It's on the floor." I explained. I pulled an empty bottle from the bottom slot of my belt, which I'd modded to create them whenever I needed them. The middle slot would, once I had a lot of them and a place to store them, allow me to do a Gokaiger and summon a bottle. The top slot would always hold Rabbit. "Maybe I can do something with th-" I was cut off by my Visor flashing, the HUD activating for the first time. It had lots of stuff… But something interesting was a symbol over Lung's head… The Symbol of Kamen Rider Cross-Z… Lung's Shard would give me Dragon if I drained energy from it… I turned the cap on the empty bottle, and pointed it at Lung. "HEY LUNG! OPEN WIDE!" I yelled, as Taylor had her bugs bite him. Lung, now mostly Dragon, blasted fire at me, or, tried to. As he opened his mouth, his flames turned to steam, which entered the bottle… Becoming the Burn Smash Bottle… "… Now how do I purify this…?" I muttered to myself, looking at it…
"LOOK OUT!" Taylor yelled at me, as Lung's flames shot at me. Taylor yanked me out of the way at the last second, saving me from being grilled.
"Thanks…" I muttered, breathing heavily.
"It's nothing…" She muttered back, glancing at the Smash Bottle. "What's that do…?" She asked.
"Turns people into monster forms..." I explained. "Hopefully I can purify it later." I added, to calm her down.
"How do we beat him then?" She hissed at me.
"… I…" I trailed off, unsure…
"We need bugs." I decided after a minute. "We need to distract Lung with pain so painful, that the power of Deus Ex Machina gives me something helpful." I told her.
"… You want me… To attack Lungs…" She trailed off, voice full of shock.
"The Bad Boys of the leader of the Azn Bad Boys. Yes." I confirmed. She nodded, and began to command her army of bugs… While she did that, I looked at the Smash Bottle, trying to come up with something…
Lung roared with rage, fire spluttering as Bugs choked him…
"You're gonna kill him." I warned her, fire bursting from Lung's mouth a moment after. "That's better." I said with relief.
"I'm running out of bugs." Taylor said to me, panicking a bit…
"Fuck… Um…" Lung knew where we were, so we just had to survive… Wait a minute… Weren't the kids they were planning on killing meant to be the und-
With no warning, a massive shape landed atop Lung with an impact I could swear people heard at the other end of the street. The size of a van, the 'massive object' was animal rather than vehicle, resembling a cross between a lizard and a tiger, with tangles of muscle and bone where it ought to have skin, scales or fur. Lung was now on his knees, holding one of the beast's sizable claws away from his face with his own clawed hand.
Lung used his free hand to strike the creature across the snout. Even though he was smaller than the beast, the impact made it rear back. It took a few short steps back in reaction, and then rhino-charged him off the edge of the roof. They hit the street with an audible crash.
I quickly hopped down, grabbing the Transteam Gun, and returning next to Tay before anyone notice. Taylor stood up, shaking like a leaf. A leaf dressed in a skin-tight power suit of awesomeness, but a leaf nonetheless! She was shaking so much, that she almost fell over again as two more impacts shook the roof. Two more creatures, similar to the first in texture, but slightly different in size and shape, had arrived on the rooftop. These two each had a pair of riders. I watched as the people slid off the backs of the animals. There were two girls, a guy, and a fourth I identified as male only because of the height. The tall one approached us, while the others hurried to the edge of the roof to watch Lung and the creature duke it out.
I helped Taylor stand up properly as the guy got to us.
"You really saved us a lot of trouble." He said, his voice was deep and masculine, but muffled by the helmet he wore.

In the deep parts of nothingness, yet in reality, a Shard of light flickered… Once… Twice… Thrice… And then, it changed… And settled into its host, ready to set off…
Brookton Bay Hospital.
A young woman wearing robes sighed as another patient was healed… She was so tired… But… She couldn't call it a night just yet, it was only ten… She had at least another hour left until she felt she could rest… She blinked for a moment… She must be hallucinating… For a second, she thought… She could see a cobra…? She didn't know, but that Cobra had been holding a playing card… The Ace of Spades…
Somewhere else.
A young girl looked at her hands… And took a deep breath, trying to preserve what there was left of her mind…
