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.

Chapter 12

Flying solo

As Max grunted as she hoisted a basket full of cleaning rags onto the red workbench. She then turned around to talk to Arlene, who was hard at work on a rocket pack. "You're sure that thing is going to be safe?"

Arlene stood up, and sluggishly stumbled over to the sol Armor, and said, "==}-Max, for the… I-don't-knowlianth time, yes! I'm as positive as a proton, which is to say;the speed-pursuit mode will not blow up in your face. I mean, if it were built by someone far less experienced than I am, then maybe your fears would be justified, but fortunately the are not.-{=="

Max shrugged off her uncertainty, and nodded. "Okay, whatever you say. So this is supposedly going to be one of a handful of large devices that just fall down onto me in battle, and instantly transform into something that will help me in a burning building, or a high speed chase?"

Arlene yawned sleepily, and said, "==}-Yeah, pretty much.-{=="

Max nodded slowly, and said, "And the way it does this is a complicated series of interdimensional vectors that should function based on a principle developed by a Kamen rider during the sengoku period and some other sciencey technobabble?!"

Arlene yawned again, drawing out her sentence. "==}-That is the… working theory.-{==" Arlene's voice faltered, and she ran back to her laptop she had placed on top of the blue workbench. "==}-But I guess a few more… simulations… couldn't…-{=="

Arlene's voice seemed to trail off into a yawn, and she slumped over slightly. "Y-you okay, Arle-?" Max was cut off by her own scream as Arlene collapsed onto the floor. "ARLENE!" Arlene hit the floor with a thud, and max rushed over to Arlene to help her. "POPPIE! ARLENE JUST FAINTED!" Poppie poked her head out of her lab, and whispered, "cOuld YOur screAms OF distress be A little mOre quiet?!"

Poppie grabbed a rag off of the red workbench, and spat into it She ran back over and wiped the areas under Arlene's eyes. A thick gray paste that matched the rest of Arlene's complexion came off, revealing that Arlene had extremely dark circles under her eyes. "Is she okay?" "==}-N-no guys, issfine! I'm shtilla fully funkshinul troll… oogah…-{==" "she'll be Fine, she just needs sOme sleep!" "==}-N-no I don't, watsh! I'll program in shirclsh round your ash!-{==" "i'mma GO upstAirs And put YOu in YOur recuperAcOOn." "==}-Soundsh good.-{=="

Poppie pointed at Max and said, "dOn't tOuch AnY OF this shit until AFter i put miss brAiniAc tO sleep, GOt it?" Max nodded, and Poppie immediately grabbed her older sister by the legs, and began to carry her in such a manner that made Arlene appear as though she was standing completely upright, and floating a across the room from about half a foot off of the ground. It was a genuinely amusing sight, and Max had to snort in order to restrain her laughter. Max glanced down at the Sol driver, and noted a gray smudge on the transformation switch. She grabbed the rag off of the table where Poppie had set it down and began to wipe the gray smudge off. Or, she tried to at least, before the switch clicked down, and she was immediately surrounded by a bright orange light. "K-K-KAMEN RIDER! SOL! KNIGHT OF LIGHT, AWAKEN!" When the world came back into focus, Max was inside of the new and improved armor.

Most of the new add-ons were painted pure white, and only broken up by the navy blue solar panels, and orange highlighting various panel lines. The sword was largely the same, with a longer blade, and solar panels a-plenty. Poppie appeared momentarily at the top of the stairs and said, "whAt did i tell YOu?!" "Sorry, Poppie. I was just trying to clean off the transformation switch." "OkAY, OkAY, nO reAsOn tO pAnic, just dOn't press AnYthinG el…" Poppie was almost immediately cut off by he pod that Arlene had built flying over to a position above Max's head before slamming down on top of her, and unfolding into a suit of armor with a jetpack, releasing a cloud of steam with a loud hiss.

When the steam cleared, Poppie yelled, "whAt did i just sAY, mAx?!" "I-i didn't do it this time, honest!" "Oh, i'm sure YOu didn't! i'm sure some mYsticAl henshin FAirY GOdmOther just cAme bY, wAved her wAnd, And cAused YOu tO "AcidentAllY" trAnsFOrm! i'm beinG SUPER seriOus here, she prObAblY just Flew Out the windOw!" An electronic voice came from the belt, "verbal command analyzed. Engaging flight mode." The rockets on Max's back fired off and lifted her into the air. "Oooooh, shit!" "lAnGuAGe!" "L-language…? LANGUAGE?! LOOK WHO'S TALKING!" "OkAY, just trY nOt tO ActivAte sOme kind OF super rOcket thrust mOde And GOddamnit, thAt's prObAblY GOinG tO hAppen nOw, isn't it…?" "Engaging high-octane thruster mode!"

The thrusters made a small squealing noise, before launching Max towards Poppie, up the stairs, and into the kitchen. Poppie ran after her, and muttered, "mY stupid, FuckinG mOuth!" Max screamed, "I'd make some kind of statement about how you need to watch what comes out of your, "verbal orifice," or whatever the hell you trolls call your mouths, but I'm a little preoccupied with NOT CRASHING MY ARMOR!" "hOld On!" Poppie ran over to the sliding glass door, and threw it open, allowing Max to fly out into to the sun-stained horizon… whatever the hell that means. Poppie meanwhile rolled her eyes at that… frankly bizarre, and poetic statement about the sky, and ran back into the house.

As Max continued to scream, the sky around her began to darken in hue, until it was navy blue. That is when she realized she was outside of earth's gravitational field, and swiftly making her way towards the surface of the moon. A few seconds later, she was on the other side of the moon with a conveniently kamen rider sol-shaped hole running straight through it. Max looked over her shoulder, and said, "god, I hope that doesn't fuck with any future solar eclipses!"

As Max turned around she was met with a massive armada of alien war ships that she assumed were not here to make friends with her. The jet engines brought her to a stop as a hologram appeared on top of one of the ships, and a green skinned individual appeared. She placed her hand up to her throat and seemed to clear it before engaging in what is best described as full-body sign language.

This started out as the green skinned woman first making a butterfly shadow puppet, before then doing gangnam style, and then placing her fingers to her head, and wiggling them like a pair of ant antenna.

Max shrugged her shoulders, and said, "what?!" Not that anyone heard her, because she was in space, and to quote alien, NO ONE CAN HEAR YOU SCREAM! The green skinned woman then began to perform a dance where the pumped her arms up and down in front of her whilst kicking a leg out to the side, lowering it, and doing the same with the other leg. This time, yellow subtitles appeared at the bottom of the screen that read, "WHO FORGOT THE SUBTITLES THIS TIME?! NUMBER MORON?!"

Max glanced around and said, "What the fuck is going on?!"

The green skinned woman immediately fell onto the floor, and began flopping around like a dying fish, as the subtitles read, "Ah, greetings, Kamen rider Sol. I am Amberica, and I am currently hacking your systems audio feed. However, since the hacking is only one way, I am afraid I am forced to use standard intergalactic sign language."

Max tilted her head slightly and said, "is that why you're charades have subtitles?" Amberica immediately performed a silly dance where she jogged in place while swinging her arms from side to side. The subtitles read, "pardon me, but I wasn't the bloke who decided it would be a good idea to make the standard intergalactic sign language consist of dance moves from fortnite!"

She then immediately beckoned several drones over to her side, and formed a human pyramid, with her making up the bottom left corner of the pyramid. The subtitles now read, "drop your panties, sir william! I can not wait till lunch time!"

Max's expression changed to a mix of confusion and shock, as she said, "WHAT THE ACTUAL FUCK?!" Amberica swapped places with the drone on top, and said, "God damn it! Google translate is being fucked around with again!" She then returned to her place on the bottom, and the subtitles now read, "Great boobies, honey bun! My lower intestine is full with spam, spam, spam, baked beans, spam, spam, and spam!" Amberica's eyes widened with a mix of shock and exasperation, and she immediately broke out of human pyramid, causing it to tumble over, and the subtitles now read, "Wi not trei a holiday in sweeden this yer? You can see all the lovli lakes, the gorgeous telephone system, and mani small animals."

Amberica then reached off camera, and pulled in a purple troll, and a massive white parrot. She then began yelling at the two, and the subtitles read, "I'm dreaming of a white christmas."

The troll crossed her arms across her body diagonally, and the subtitles now read, "Get back here, you slimy futon plunderer!" Amberica rolled her eyes, and the subtitles read, "We're no strangers to loooove, you know the rules, and so do I!" Amberica turned back to the camera and began to perform jumping jacks. The subtitles now read, "sorry about the technical difficulties. The drones running the translation algorithm are all currently working through a few kinks in the code. Anyways, I'm going to skip ahead in my dramatic speech to the point after where I've offered you a chance to join us, or die with the rest of your planet at the hands of our spaceship that can turn into a giant robot. And I'm going to guess you don't surrender?"

Max shrugged. "Eh, where's the fun in surrendering?" Amberica now flipped max the bird with both hands, and the subtitles said, "You can call me the Nannerpuss, and VERY WELL, YOU HAVE MADE YOUR CHOICE, CRIMINAL TWINKY! PREPARE TO DIE!"

A squad of drones immediately dispatched from the ship, and fired at Max. Max proceeded to press the melee button, and her sword appeared. "Hope you boys brought your life jackets, 'cause it's about to get choppy!"
