Construct 52: The Seaward Train
Sento: Kamen Rider Build, the Brilliant physicist Kiryu Sento, is pursuing the Truth about the Murder of Katsuragi Takumi to prove Banjou Ichika's innocence. When danger looms and the Pandora's Box and the bottles are stolen, Banjou finally transforms into a Kamen Rider.
Ichika: Hell yeah! Now I'm a Kamen Rider too! … But hey, a questioned crossed my mind. I know my name was named after the Cross-Z Dragon and all… But I'm curious if there was others.
Sento: Well there were many, but my personal favorite was Kamen Rider Musclebrain.
Ichika: I wanna know how that got to be your favorite.
Sento: Think hard about it, and you'll understand. Anyways let's get on with Construct 52!

We are Sento
The next morning after classes were over for the day and introductions were over with. Me, Ichika, Houki, Laura, and the newly renamed Charlotte, came with me to the cafe. Like a glutton, Ichika grabs a bowl of Instant Ramen, and chows down on it. At the same time, Chloe and Laura eating fries. There we find Sawa-san being interrogated by Tabane. "So who are you exactly?" Chloe asks again.
Sawa: I was… A spy for Namba Heavy Industries. It wasn't a coincidence that I made my way here. I knew about it all along… That this was the Kamen Rider's hideout.
Sento:(surprised) Really?!(runs over to Matches) So I didn't drop a matchbook after all!
Tabane:(closes fridge door) And I didn't forget to close the fridge!
"Yay!" Me and Tabane exclaim as we high five, and have a small celebratory dance. Though that's when Chloe steps in. "Who cares?! Go on." Killjoy… But we got back to listening on Sawa-san's story. "I… My mission was to provide Namba Heavy Industries with information on Build. That's why I approached you." So that's it… I get a tap on the shoulder from Charlotte.
Charlotte: What's the Namba Heavy Industries about?
Ichika: Isn't it that big manufacturing company we always see commercials for?
Tabane:(nods) Yup! It's the biggest industrial operation in the country. They've got a friendly brand going, but underneath it all they produce and sell weapons. They're involved with some nasty business. They're the only other company who knows about the plans to build IS Cores, and they produce the well used Guardians. While they aren't used in countries like France, they are used in countries like America, China, England, Africa, Russia, Germany, and of course Japan. Thus they have a monopoly over the cores and Guardians. Thus they have tons of profit upon those products.
Sento: Yeah, they have tons to influence.(sighs) They're so influential, that even the three prime ministers wouldn't want to mess with them.
Sawa:(nods) And Namba has also been controlling Faust from behind the scenes.
"Heh No way." Ichika skeptically says. Though, I have my thoughts. "If that's true… That means Faust should know about this place." I note as I walk over to where Sawa-san sits. I take a seat in front of her. "So why haven't they attacked?" I ask Sawa-san. "To gather data on Build." What?
Sawa: A system that could theoretically surpass any IS. Even at a base level, a person with a Build driver and a few bottles could match several IS's in combat.(looks at Sento) And with the level you have, a single Rider would have the firepower to destroy an entire nations military force overnight. Whether they have advance IS's or not. Chairman Nanba's goal was to make the Kamen Rider into a weapon for the Touto military to use.
Ichika:(walks over) Then Faust has connections with the government in Touto, too?(slams hand on table) That's crazy!
Sento:(looks at Ichika) Stop slamming the table please.
Sawa: I started working as a spy for Namba to get evidence to prove it.
Sento:(sighs and leans back in chair) So you became a spy as camouflage for an investigation?
Laura:(stands up) Sento, you realise how unbelievable that sounds, right?
"It's not too far to what you were doing." I remind Laura. Sawa-san stands up, holding her necklace. "I can prove it to you! I've got secrets on Faust in this." Sawa-san reaches in with her nails and pulls out a small data key. Thank god for the 21st century's technology! "Hand it here." I ask putting out my hand, "It's only got sound." Sawa-san notes to me. I take the data and insert it into my phone. The data syncs with my earpiece, I open the file. I project the image and play the sound. Sounds of bubbles and Sawa-san's screams are in the background. Most likely Sawa-sans time before her transformation.
Man's voice: So, is Pandora's Box secure?
Rogue: It's being hidden in the Location we discussed.
Sento: That's Rouge.
Man's Voice: I see. So it was put back where it belongs, in other words…
The Voice clip ends there. Taking out the key, I hand it back to Sawa-san. "But where's the location they were talking about?" Ichika asks as he returns to his Ramen. "Remember how he said it was put back where it belongs?" Chloe asks. "They likely didn't mean the Touto Government Building, then..." I cross my arms as I begin to ponder likely locations. "The place where the Box was held before that..." I ask myself as I take a seat near the door.
Sawa: The Namba Heavy Industries General Research Lab.
Sento: The NHIGRL?(looks at Ichika) Me and Ichika went there when we were looking for Katsuragi's Data.
Meanwhile… We are Observer
Standing over the water of a pond, Nanba tosses in fish food for the Koi fish in the pond. "I guess the fun and games are just about over..." Nanba thinks aloud to himself. Behind, walks in Utsumi and bows. "I'm here, sir." Nanba turns to Utsumi. "Ooh. There's something I need to ask of you." Nanba asks.
We are Sento
After our meeting, we decided to schedule our infiltration of the NHIGRL to after classes on monday. I check my map, as I walk through the streets of Touto. The Shop should be close. Ah here it it's. I stop in front of a clock shop, entering the shop I'm greeted with an old man in his seventies. "Ah welcome. What can I do for you today?" The man asks sitting up in his seat. I look around the shop, despite my first thoughts it seems like people still enjoy the old fashioned clocks as the store can afford clean and pristine grandfather clocks.
Sento:(looks at old man) I was hoping to have the glass and internals of a watch fixed.(hands watch) Here. I don't care if it's extra, but I'd like to also have it made to look brand new.
Old man:(takes watch) Let me see.(looks at watch) Hmm…(looks up at Sento) Wouldn't it be better to just get a new one? I don't have any like this. But I'm sure I can work up a separate place where you can get it.
Sento:(sighs) Really can't. This has personal importance to someone I know. A student of mine got this from their mother before she passed away.
Old Man:(looks at watch) I see…(chuckles) Well it'll cost you extra, but I'm sure I can do it.
Sento:(smiles) That works for me. I can pay for it.(sighs) Seems like I'm using a lot of money for that girl…
Old man:(places down watch) Is this students the daughter of a friend? I don't often hear of a teacher going out of there way to repair something for a student.
Sento:(scratches head) Actually, I never met her mother… Though I heard she was a wonderful woman. I just felt especially bad for her, considering the abuse she had to go though.
Old man: Good mother, bad father?
"The kind of father, that would see a daughter as a piece on a game board." I tell, clenching my fist in my pocket. The Old man seems to sympathise. "I see… In that case, I'll be sure to make this watch brand spanking new!" This man still uses Spanking as a word? "Us adults need to make a good example to the kids don't we?" The man notes to me. "Yeah… Yeah we do." I smile, finishing placing the order, I leave to the Touto Government building Research division.
We are Ichika
I await in front of the Aquarium. Wearing a clean shirt and pants, walk around the lobby. I'd already done this many times with Kasumi, but the nervousness just never seems to fade. I ponder to myself, footsteps approach me. I look up to see Houki in a very cute set of clothes. "Wow." I find myself saying aloud, Houki still having her hair tied back.
Houki:(smiles) I take it, that you like it?
Ichika:(chuckles) You look great. Come on, let's go.
Houki:(blushing) Hey… Um…(reaches out) Can I?
Just like all those other time… just like before. "Sure." I immediately respond already knowing what she's gonna ask. "Let's go, it's pretty crowded today." I tell Houki as I take her hand and we walk towards the attendance booth. Over the next 2-3 hours we explore the aquarium, enjoying all the fishes, playing a few games, and viewing a show… I was splashed 15 consecutive times… So glad I have extra clothes… As we leave the Aquarium, Houki can't help but laugh at my trouble.
Ichika:(annoyed) Lay off will ya?
Houki:(wiping a tear) But… But you were the one who sat there, and you were the only one who got splashed!
Ichika: I was having fun the first 2 times… Then the third… then the forth… Then the fifth…
"Oh you poor wet dog." Houki says placing a hand on my cheek in pitty. "HEY!" Houki begins to laugh again. I can't help but smile and laugh as well. "I guess, we should go grab something to bite? After all the excitement, I've gotten a little hungry." *Gurrr~!* I guess I'm the same as well... "I guess we should go grab some food then?" Houki recommends, I chuckle. "Let's." With that the two of us head off to the nearby shopping mall.
Shopping mall… We are Sento
Leaving the clock shop, I check my phone for the time. The Government Research Lab is still quite open, I need to check something on Namba anyways… I reach into my pocket for the Lion Full Bottle, but can't find anything… Right, I still haven't recovered my Full Bottles… Guess I'll ask Chifuyu for a ride. "Ah, hey! You're Ichika's teacher right?" I turn to a familiar face. The two from that restaurant. "Hello, um… Dan-san and Ran-chan." I say after a quick check on their IDs.
Ran:(looking at screens) Whoa, where did you get that?
Sento: Huh? Oh, you must be referring to this correct?(points to earpiece) It's a government item, only given to researchers. It helps me multitask.
Dan: Nifty.
Sento:(nods) Indeed… Speaking of?(points to luggage) Isn't carrying all that hard?
"Very." Dan-san responds. "Who's all this for?" I ask, as Dan-san points to his sister. "Something about looking good for Ichika?" Dan-san refers, to which Ran-chan blushes and responds back. "I-Is not! Just… Wanna make my last year as a middle schooler a fun one is all!" So transparent… I almost feel kinda bad for saying this. "Well, too late. Ichika already got himself a date." I remark back, to Ran-chan's surprise. "WHAT?!" I materialise my rubber hand and knock her over the head.
Sento:(grans) Please don't shout. It's disrespectful for the other people around here, and I'm standing right infront of you.
Ran:(rubbing head) Ow…
Dan:(points to glove) Is that something you also get from the government?
Sento:(shakes head) No, it's something I made for loud and idiotic students.(looks at Ran) So this is an early taste of what's to come.(Ran looks up surprised) I noticed your gave an entrance forum for the IS academy. From what I've seen already, you're chances to get into the academy is a good 89%
"Really?! Whoo!" I knock Ran-chan over the head again. "Not so loud girl." I let out a chuckle, I put away my hand and I take out my phone. I reach into my pocket for the Lion Full Bottle, but I remember that I don't have it currently… Great I keep forgetting. That's when I get a notification on my HUD. "What's that?" Dan-san asks. I check my ID identifier I notice 5 students nearby. 3 off to the back and two seem to take front. The pack of 3 seem to move every which way, seeming trying to dodge the 2. The girls are spying on Ichika and Houki…
Sento:(begins off) Well the two of you, have a great rest of the day. Also, fair warning. Ichika's dating a Samurai… Per say. So be on your feet.(walks off)
Ran:(looks at Dan) What's that supposed to mean?
"Not sure." Dan-san says as I walk off. I walk towards a conner, in the process passing by Ichika and Houki. Ah, well good to know that the both have good fashion sense. As I pass by them, I give them a passing wave. "Hey you two." I greet the two waving. "Hey?" Ichika asks in surprise and confusion. "Hello Sensei." Houki greets me. "What are you doing here?" Ichika asks me. "Oh, nothing important. Though I need a ride to the Government Building." I tell them.
Houki: Oh, then let us take you.
Sento:(Waves) Naw, you two have a good day. I have someone else who can take me there.(walks off) See you!
"O-Okay?" I walk off, and turn towards an Alley. Standing in the Alley way, is Cecilia-chan, Rin-chan, Charlotte, and Laura. "Hey there, you four. Enjoying the View?" All of them trying and look like they're doing other things, but Laura just salutes to me. "I don't mind, you spying of those two, but please don't make yourselfs out to be idiots in the driveway." All try and make up some excuse but none are able to make a coherent one, what with their intentions becoming so clear, embarrassing them.
Laura: What's the matter Sento? Do you need something of us?
Sento:(nods) Actually, yes. Laura I need a lift to the Touto Government Building. Care to give me a lift?
Laura:(nods) Yes Sento.(activates IS) May I accompany you in as well?
"Only if you promise to not steal anything." I warn Laura. "Roger." I take Laura's hand, as we lift off and fly towards the Touto Government Building. "The rest of you, take care not to do anything stupid." I warn the girls, unable to say anything after being so flustered they simply nod.
At the Touto Government Building…
Entering the research lab with some books of data, and Laura. We walk over to my table, while entering I notice Utsumi-san also being here. "Good morning, sir." I say passing by him, with Laura giving a silent bow to him. Walking to my desk, I take a seat. Handing an empty seat over to Laura, as she too takes a seat. "Isn't today a holiday for all Lab Staff, and why did you bring an IS Representative here?" Utsumi-san asks me.
Sento:(opening file) Well, I need to look into Namba Heavy Industries. Secondly, she wanted to see me at work.
Laura:(bows) I won't become a bother, so do not worry about me.
Utsumi:(getting out of seat) I see…
Sento:(points to screen) This lab was the predecessor to this one, correct? But from a look at the floorplan, there's nowhere they could've stored the Pandora's Box.
Utsumi:(walking over) Why do you care?
Sento:(turns to Utsumi) Well that… is a secret.
I get back to work, looking for possible other areas where the Pandora's Box could've been hidden in. "The 3rd Level Basement." Utsumi-san suggests. What? There's only 2 levels of basement. Not three. "What? But there's only 2 basement levels marked Utsumi-Cyborg." Laura points out. "Ahh~! I told you not to say that name in front of him!" Utsumi-san looks at me crossing his arms. "Again with the Cyborg? Sigh~ Please refrain from telling that to me again, and to others." I awkwardly chuckle back.
Sento: S-Sorry. Anyways what was it you said about a third level?
Utsumi:(sigh) I'm severely reconsidering telling you... But very well.(takes keyboard and types in) Here.
Sento:(surprised) Whoa! Basement level 3!(looks to Utsumi) How'd you know?
Utsumi:(crosses arms) That too, is a secret.
Sento:(smiles) Heh, well look at that. You actually have a sense of humor, huh? Now I feel kinda bad for calling you a cyborg.(Utsumi walks off) Which side of you is the real one?
Utsumi: A foolish question… You and I are both inside the same cage.
We are Chloe
Sitting in the lab, with Sawa-san tied up I ask her the question that's been on my mind. "Why us…? And why would you go so far to expose Namba's connections to the government? Right?" I ask my little stuffed animal. No matter how many times I run it through my head, it makes no sense. Not to mention, I've found next to no personal past information that I don't already know. Including younger years.
Sawa: Three years ago… When Faust lost that Pandora Box Panel, there was a major gas explosion at Namba's laboratory shortly thereafter. 11 researcher lost their lives.
Chloe:(makes stuffed animal look around the corner) Really… Explain further.
Sawa: The government murdered people to cover up the loss of the panel. And among those researchers who died… was my father. I want to expose the truth behind what happened to him!
The next day… At the NHIGRL We are Sento
Ichika: You really wanna trust what a spy tells you?
Sento:(opening gate) Not sure. But I think it's worth looking into.
Opening the gate, the two of us head inside. "Hey, so why is it just the two of us? Wouldn't it be a great help if we had someone like Bodewig-san with us?" Ichika asks, as I shuffle around a duffle bag of items. "Keeping our numbers low, will allow us to keep a lower profile. Not to mention we can't bring IS Reps from other nations into this." Not to mention the risk if we were caught. The Touto goverm- Well more, Gentoku-san would use this as a political tool. I refuse to let that happen. Also, the girls were busy.
Sento:(opening door) Hey, Ichika. Don't forget that the Kamen Rider isn't a weapon of war.(opens door) It's for protecting people.(enters building) Just remember that.
Ichika:(sighs) Watching you for 5 seconds will drill that into anyone's head.
Sento: Come on, let's go. Down to the third level.
We descend down into the hidden third level of the Namba basement. The power is off thus we have to use flashlights. "What is this place? Is it really around here?" Ichika asks, I shrug as we walk into the room. Suddenly the lights flash on, as we adjust our eyes Rogue and some Faust Guardians come into focus.
Rogue:(walks down stairs) I'm impressed you found out about this place. It's a shame, but I have to ask you to leave.
Sento:(readies Lock bottle) Well, we just got here… So.(puts out hand) Why not show us a good time?
Ichika:(walks in front of Sento) Sorry, but today. I'm the star. Make sure to back me up.
Sento: Aw, come on…!
Ichika shakes the dragon bottle and straps on his Build driver. Ichika takes hold of the Cross-Z Dragon and incerts the Dragon bottle into it's back. "Wake up!" He place the dragon into the Driver. "Cross-Z Dragon!" Techno music starts playing as Ichika cranks the lever. The frame forms around me, as the tubes fill with the blue liquid. "Are you ready?!" Ichika smack his hands together and takes a battle pose as he exclaim. "Henshin!" Ichika reenter the ready stance, as the armor closes around him. "Wake up Burning! Get Cross-Z Dragon! Yeah!" He summons the Beat Closer to his hands, as he engages Rogue. The Guardians target me and come after me. Oup! I ready my Drill Crusher for battle. I block two rifle bayonets, I push them back as I swing in a circle destroying all four of the guardians instantly. I look back over to Cross-Z who's battling Rogue.
Rogue:(blade locks) Even if you have become a Kamen Rider, my Hazard Level is still higher.(pushes back Cross-Z) That last fight you only won because of your surprise factor.(turns valve) Don't mess with me!
Rogue swings sending me and Cross-Z back onto the ground. At that moment, someone else enters the room. I look up to see Stalk entering the room. "Well, well… To think you were keeping it here… This has to be your Bat Cave, isn't it?" Rogue adibuly groans. "What are you doing here?" Rogue asks Stalk.
Stalk: Isn't it obvious? I'm here to hand out a beating. To you!
Rogue:(caught off guard) You've gone insane...
Stalk:(battling Rogue) Like I already said… Faust doesn't belong to you!
The two knock each other back onto the the ground. Stalk sits up and notices something in the wall. Brandishing his blade, he strikes at a door. "Is this is?" The impact opens a hole in the wall. Within the wall is the Pandora's box, Panels, and the Full Bottles! "Bingo!" As Stalk goes to grab them, Rogue comes in and blocks him. "I won't let you!" The two's fight moves them away from the door and back towards Cross-Z. Now's my chance! I get to my feet and run over to the bottles.
Sento:(looks inside) Ahh!(Grabs bottle) Hey, a Train bottle!(patch of hair rises) So that means…(grabs Pirate) If my calculations are correct…
Strapping on my Build Driver. I shake the bottle and I open the bottles. "Pirate! Train! Best Match!" I look down at my belt in surprise. Best Match?! Oh baby~! "I got a Best Match! Whoo~!" "Again!?" I crank the lever as the frame and lime green and aqua blue enters the tubes. "Are you Ready?!" I take my pose as I exclaim. "Henshin!" The armor closes around me. "The Scheduled Renegade! Piratetrain! Yeah~!" I turn around and grab the Drill Crusher, and interrupting the fight between Stalk and Rouge. Kamen Rider Build is back on the scene!
