Kamen Rider Sol

by firebyte27

In the year 2513 A.D, earth has colonised all of the planets in it's native solar system, and established itself as a powerful member of the intergalactic community. It is now home to many races, including alternian trolls, Velzakians, among many others. However, a mysterious race wishes to conquer earth, and it's up to a new generation of riders to stop them.

The hellion

"==}-Almost finished.-{==" Arlene muttered to herself as she inserted the square silicon panel into the chestplate. Max stared over Arlene's shoulder as the troll lined up each of the tiny chips of silicon to perfectly fit into the slots on the new breastplate they had made for the Kamen Rider Sol armor. It was looking a lot cleaner, which was to say, the new combination of red, black, white, and navy blue was looking a less like a prototype, and more like a finished product. Sure, there were still a few rough patches: The compartment for the cards was a prime example, with it remaining the only black component on the now largely gray, white and orange Sol Driver. The sword she had used now looked like it was from a completely different Kamen rider, but Arlene had assured Max that when she was done with the armor and driver, she'd work on the sword.

Poppie had been dragging the discarded remains of the old armor and belt over to her own workroom, and seemed to be TRYING to build her own driver and armor. She had a fairly large whiteboard next to the door that read, "Poppie's man cave lab which has experienced exactly-" the bulk of the board after "exactly" was largely empty space intended for tally marks, with the words, "explosions since its establishment." Max had made it as far as 96 before she lost track of the tally marks. The last time Poppie had came out, it was with a giant container filled with empty soda bottles. She had been covered in black, purple, red and navy blue spots that Max assumed was spray paint. When Max asked Poppie about it she had said, "it's just A side prOject. nOthinG tO be cOncerned Over."

Max continued to ponder this as Arlene inserted the last of the silicon into the breastplate, and said, "==}-Alright, finished. Note to self; read description on amazon prime BEFORE ordering what you think are readily made solar panel components.-{==" "Hmmm? Oh, yes, yes! Read the description on amazon before ordering indeed." "==}-You have no idea what I was talking about, do you?-{==" "I haven't gone cross-eyed, have I?" "{]- ( I don't know, turn around so I can see." Arlene slowly turned her head to see the head of Kamen Rider Riptide sticking out of one of the solar panels on the armor. "{]- \ pardon the intrusion, but would one of you be a doll and get me a larger mirror? The dimensional barrier between earth and ventara is making me crane my neck in the sense that it's literally stretching my neck like a crane!" Max and Arlene both gave Cerrul an awkward stare. "|]- [ The bird, not the piece of construction equipment. Y-you know what… oh, screw it! I'm going home." Cerrul's head quickly disappeared into the solar panel.

Max and Arlene silently stood their, giving each other one of those looks like, "what just happened remains between the two of us." until there was a loud clattering noise, and the door to Poppie's lab flew open, and she stumbled out holding what appeared to be padlock with what appeared to be a molded pomegranate in the place of a dial(?). "Ah! lAdY luck hAs FinAllY GrAced me!" "==}-Wuzzat?!-{==" "lOck seed. hAd tO GO tO hell And bAck just tO Get it." "What are you building in there?!" "OhmYGOshi'vesAidtOOmuchbYe!" Poppie ran back into her lab, slamming the door behind her, which was followed by the noise of what Max guessed was a bolt she used to lock the room. "Does she do that a lot?" "==}-Disappear into that room, or act suspicious?-{==" "Yes." "==}-I'll just leave it at she does the latter more than the former.-{=="
