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! The Pirate covers the left visior, right arm, and left leg. While the Train takes up the right visior, left arm, and right leg. The Pirate visior is like a Pirates iconic crossbone skull. The shoulder of the right arm being the front of a ship with a cape coming out from the bottom down to my wrist. The left leg has nothing interesting. The Train visior is a track, the chest also has a train track running across it. The shoulder being a light signal, with the rest of the arm begin the top part of a train.
Cross-Z:(gets back up) Not gonna let you outshine me! Let me in on that action!
Ichika comes in, knocking back Stalk and going after him. Leaving me with Rogue. "Let's dance." I tell him.
We are Ichika
"Time to see who you really are!" I exclaim attacking Stalk. Stalk uses his own speed to move around me and attack me from different angles. I swing my blade down at him, and Stalk raises his blade to deflect. Though the impact of the attack knocks his blade out of his hand and onto the ground. I slash at him knocking his back. I grab the hilt of the blade and pull at it. "Pull it! Pull it! Million Hit!" The Beat Closer exclaim as I swing sending a sound wave straight at Stalk which knocks him back. "Very impressive. Better than I throught." Stalk rushes away grabbing the Pandora's Box in the process. "But this is one of two things I came for. Seeya!" With that, Stalk disappears into a cloud of smoke. One of two? What's the second one? He didn't grab any bottles…
We are Sento
I slash across Rogue's gut, as Stalk disappears. "Stalk!" Rogue exclaims in annoyance. "Now now, we aren't done!" I knock Rogue down to the ground, as I take out the Pirate Bottle and insert it into the Drill Crusher. "Ready? GO! Vortex Break! Yay~!" Water begins to swirl around the blade, I swing at Rogue knocking back. "To think I'd be defeated again..." With that, Rogue disappears into smoke.
Cross-Z:(helmet folds away) You're pretty good, for a sidekick.
Build:(helmet folds away) And you're pretty good, for a complete amature.
Cross-Z: Shut up! … Hey, speaking of. Stalk said that he had another target besides the Pandora's Box… Who do you think he would be after?
Build:(shrugs) Who knows. But let's be on the watch out. Speaking of, how'd your date with Houki go?
"Pretty good. H-Hey! Don't try and change the subject!" Ichika responds. I turn and walk away. "Let's get back to the others." I tell Ichika as he rushes behind me. "Hey, Hey! We aren't done talking!" He exclaims.
We are Houki
I sit at a bench overlooking the sea. I look down at my phone with a picture of me, Ichika, and Kasumi. "Sorry for going out with him. But then again, you wouldn't mind all that much would you?" I say to myself. Now that I think about it, I still need to ask Ichika about where her grave is… A series of footsteps approach… Then a scream. "Kyaa~!" I stand up and look around.
Stalk:(waves) Hello their. Tabane's Sister, how's that shoulder been since that fight with that German creation?
Houki: Wha? I see.(battle stance) So you were the one who set that up!
Stalk:(chuckles) Yes, quite… But that's not why I'm here today… I'm here to conduct a little experiment… With this.
Stalk shows from behind his back the Pandora's Box?! "How did you get that?!" I exclaim in surprise. "I took it back from a certain egocentric Bat." Bat? "Wait... Batman?" I ask. "I wish, but no. The other bat." Night Rogue? "Now then… You'll be coming with me." Stalk snaps his fingers as Faust Guardians climb out from the water. "Wha?" I quickly turn and make a dash, but my injury causes me to stumble and fall to the ground. Guardians rush out from all sides. I'm grabbed and pinned down onto the ground.
Stalk:(kneels down) This is going to be fun. Ever since I got this here Pandora's Box, I've been itching to try a few tests. I've never administered Pandora Essence directly into a person. I wonder what kind of result it will show?
Houki:(struggling) Wha-N-nNo~!
"Please shleep my dear." Stalk tells me before he blasts my face with gas knocking me out.
We are Charlotte
I come down the stairs to see, Chloe-chan sitting in her rocking chair. "Hey! Why'd you untie her?!" Ichika exclaims stomping over. They did what? What did Sawa-san do? "You'd never understand, muscle brain!" Tabane-san dashes past me and the two arguing. "Move, Move!" I walk into the doorway of the lab, their I see Tabane-san kneeling down near the steps of the Bottle Purifier. Sitting on it are all the lost full bottles and the two Pandora Panels.
Tabane: You got the bottles back and you managed to grab Faust's panel!
Laura: Very impressive.
Cecilia:(nods) Quite.
Rin:(smirks) Looks like we stole back from that Emo Batman!
Charlotte:(walks in) Oh, so everyone else is here too.
Tabane:(Turns to everyone) Well done! Awesome jo-(sees Sento) Hey? What's Sen-chan up too?
Banjou-sensei walks in with parts in a box and places them onto the table. Sento immediately taking the parts and adding them to whatever invention he's working on. "He got really excited about the Pirate Train Best Match, thus he's been making a new weapon for it." We all look over to Sento's work area, as he suddenly stands up. "It's complete! I shall call it… The Pirate Platform!" The new weapon is like a cross between a bow, a hook, a train platform, and the body of a ship. "It's attacks are..." Sento suddenly swing around the weapon, dodging Tabane, Cecilia, and Banjou-sensei. "Regular Stops!" Sento then runs over swinging at Laura, Chloe, and Rin. "Express Service!" Then Sento swings at me and Ichika, barely allowing us to dodge. "Rapid Transit!" Sento then finally swings at Sawa-san and Laura-chan. "Pirate Train!" Sento then walks to the center of the Lab happy as can be.
Sento:(smiling) It's got four levels of attacks! Amazing, isn't it? Terrific, isn't it? Aren't I a Genius.(looks at Tabane) Can't wait to test it…
Tabane:(hides behind pillar) Don't point it this way!
Chifuyu:(clenches fist) Don't point a weapon at people you IDIOT!(punches Sento)
Sento falls to the ground and lies their. "Sigh~ He may be smart. But that doesn't mean his actions aren't stupid on occasion." Everyone, nods in agreement, as I just chuckle in a discouraging tone. Sento getting back up. "Hey..." Sawa-san asks, grabbing everyone's attention.
Sawa:(gets up and walks over to Bottles and Panel) Could you lend me that panel?
We are Observer
While being patched up by Utsumi, Gentoku mumbles to himself. "That bastard Stalk..." From behind the two, enters Nanba with two of his guards. "It seems you've lost Pandora's Box." Utsumi and Gentoku stand up straight. "Chairman Nanba… My deepest Apologies." The two bow to Nanba.
Nanba: No sense worrying about what's already over.
Gen:(lifts head) But…
Nanba: Since it was stolen from our lab, we will have to deal with this situation.(turns to Gen) I think it'd be ideal to take the initiative.
Nanba and Gentoku turn their gaze to Utsumi… "I'll leave it to you." Nanba says as he turns and leaves the room. Gentoku and Utsumi bow as Nanba leaves. Closing the door behind them, Nanba walks down the hall. Till the sound of a phone ringing distracts one of the guards, who takes our their phone. "Hello? Chairman, it's for you." The Guard hands the phone to Nanba who takes the phone.
Nanba: Hello?
Stalk: Nan-chan. Hey, I've got quite the surprise to tell you about the Pandora Experiment.
Nanba:(raises eyebrow) Oh? How has it gone?
Stalk:(chuckles) Well our dear Samurai Maiden has survived and is still in human form. Not only that, she seems to be synchronizing with the two bottles we have left over. It's quickly looking like we've got ourselves a new Rider coming.
Nanba:(smiles) Really? Well that is good. Still though, we need to hand her back to Build without drawing any suspicions of a set up.
Stalk: Leave that to me, Chairman. Go enjoy yourself. Though, I will need this Lab to ensure that things continue the way we want them to be.
We are Sento
I stand outside the Hospital where the Prime Minister of Touto. Prime Minister Taizan is being treated at. I await outside near the room where the Prime Minister is staying at, it seems that Sawa-san is discussing things with Taizan-san.
We are Sawa
I show the picture of the Pandora Panel to Prime Minister Taizan. "This panel was found in Namba Heavy Industries General Research Lab." Prime Minister Taizan takes my phone to get a better look at it. "I think Faust has connections to Namba." "What?" Taizan-san expresses his surprise.
Sawa: This laboratory was jointly run with the Touto Government, right? That'd mean there's a potential link between the government and Faust as well.
Taizan:(hands back phone) Impossible! That can't be true.
Sawa:(bows) Please, Sir! Just look into it.
A Touto government attendant comes over. "Excuse me." He then walks over to Taizan-san and whispers something into his ear. "What?" Hm? What has happened? "It seems your theory was wrong." Eh? What happened?
Taizan:(looks at Sawa) The Touto government is launching an operation to wipe Faust out. Just who are you? And where is that panel?
Touto Gov attendant: Arrest her!
"Yes, sir!" Oh no! I need to get out of here! The Guards try and take me away, but I toss one across my shoulder. Then I take the second guard and throw him into the wall. As the first guard begins to get back up, I spin around kicking him across the face. The Window! I run towards the window besides Taizan-san and I jump though it, grabbing the rails as I fall out.
We are Sento
I hear glass breaks, followed by a scream of pain. I run out to see Sawa-san dangling on the railing, with guards following her. "This is terrible..." Sawa-san climbs close to the railing of the floor below her. I run back to the bike to get ready for a quick escape. I put on my helmet and get back to the scene with my bike, just in time to see Sawa-san falls into a pile of boxes and trash. I walk over towards the pile, Sawa-san busts out and points towards my bike. "Bike! The bike!" I rush over and toss her a helmet. I drive over to her, she hops on as we drive off.
Sento: What the hell happened back there?
Sawa: Whoever's behind this, is trying to cover up the connections to the government! An attack on a Faust facility is being conducted right now!
Sento: Please tell me you know where this operation is being taken place at?
Sawa: The Touto Sky Dam! Near the Sky wall.
"On it! Hold on, I'm stepping on the gas!" With that the two of us speed off towards the dam.
We are Observer
Near the Touto Sky Dam reporters and news outlets gather behind a Operation HQ. "We will now begin the operation to dismantle Faust." Above the dam, Sento and Sawa arrive to see the battle unfold. "Move out!" The Captain of the defence force exclaims readying his pistol. They rish into the dam and into the Faust base, their sitting on his chair is Night Rogue. "Are you Night Rogue? Arrest him!" The captain demands to Rogue. The Defence force surrounds Rogue. Nonchalantly Rogue stands up from his chair, before smacking a gun away and begins to battle the Defence force. Pushing them back outside. Rogue blasts some guardians in front of the Operation HQ.
Rogue: I will not let my creation, Faust, be crushed by you Government Fools! Faust… Is mine!
Gen: Fire!
The Guardians open fire, and the Guardians and Rogue begin to battle each other. "What is this? Something feels off. It almost feels like a performance." Sawa remarks at the fight unfolding in front of her and Sento. "I think you might be right." Sento says strapping on his Build Driver. Rogue jumps up to the top of the Dam where Build Ninnincomic walks over.
We are Sento
I look at Rogue. Something doesn't feel right at all… "Are you really Rogue?" I ask before Rogue opens fire on me. I deflect some shots with my blade but I roll to dodge the rest. "Answer me!" I exclaim as I pull the trigger on my 4-Koma Ninpoto. "Wind Jutsu! Tornado Slash!" Rogue gets caught up in the whirlwind before launching at me. I dodge out of the way before deflecting an attack, as I shake Pirate and Train. Inserting them into my driver. "Pirate! Train! Best Match!" I crank the lever as Rogue tires to shoot me. "Build up!" I exclaim as the armor closes around me. "Piratetrain! Yeah!" I summon the new Pirate Platform into my hand. I charge Rogue, at the same time, Rogue pulls out his Steam Blade. We exchange blows to each other, as we move across the dam. We get near the dam's edge, I pull back the train on the platform. "Regular Stops!(Build let's go of train) Moving out!" I launch a shot at Rogue knocking him back. I pull back the train again. "Express Service!(Let's go of train) Moving out!" Two shots in quick successions fires hitting Rogue again. "Rapid Transit(let's go of train) Moving out!" Three shots fire out in quick succession. Rogue doesn't do much. This next one should end this. I pull back on the train again, holding it for a few seconds as the platform exclaims. "Regular Stops! Express Service! Rapid Transit! Pirate Train!" Rogue changes his weapon into it's rifle form. "Electric Steam!" The Rifle exclaims. "(Let's go of train) Moving out!" A pirate ship and train fly out of the platform, and breaks though Rogues attack, Rogue tires to shoot the ship and train out of the air. Rogues then bombarded with shots knocking him out of his transformation. Leaving Utsumi-san?! Utsumi-san climbs up onto the railing and looks over back towards the people below.
Build: Utsumi-san…
Utsumi:(grabs railing) I… I've served this country in hope that Japan would once again, regain it's pride and honor! Even if that meant resorting to military force! If it means the restoration of our nation, then it'd be no…(reaches into pocket) It'd be no…
Utsumi-san takes out a Smash essence Full Bottle. Oh no! I rush over and push Utsumi-san away from the edge, while taking the bottle out of his hand. "I'm not letting you kill yourself." I tell Utsumi-san, he rushes to his feet and runs off. "Utsumi-san!" I run after him. I follow him to a nearby bridge overlooking a river. Utsumi-san catches his breath on the railing, as he begins to ponder.
Utsumi:(looking over the rails) I wonder where I lost my way… I just wanted to… Laugh about trivial matters, fuss over the trivial matters, cry over my troubles... To live a simple life.(turns to Build) Don't end up like me… Kiryu Sento.
Build:(helmet folds away) Utsumi-san? You knew it was me?
Utsumi:(rushes over) Listen to me! There's still time to turn back! You can still get out of this! You can still-(Build's helmet folds on) Wha?!
Enemy detection?! Suddenly the impact of a bullet hitting Utsumi's shoulder, followed by a slat of blood on my helmet, and finally the sound of a gunshot. The shot sends Utsumi-san falls back and falls over the edge of the Bridge. Straight into the water below. "Utsumi-san!" I look to where the gunshot came from to see Gentoku hand a rifle back to a solder. To his own assistant?! I look back at the river. Now's not the time! I rush down to the river bank, and using Pirate I begin to sweep the river for Utsumi-san. The possibility of his survival is still high! I need to find him now, before he drowns in the river, or the bullet's metal killing him. But after almost an hour of looking, it comes up to nothing. I couldn't find him…. Utsumi-san...
Meanwhile… We are Observer
"Haaa!" Houki kicks back a Smash into a wall. The Smash falls to its knees. Houki falls back, gasping for breath. In her hand is a singular bottle. The bottle has the image of a priestess. The Smash gets back up, and begins towards Houki. "W-Want some more? B-Bring it." Houki shakes the bottle again, and charges at the Smash, Houki jumps and front flips before she drop kicks the smash. White energy blasts out from the impact, sending the Smash back into the wall as it explodes. The green flames burning off it's body. Clapping comes from above, as Stalk enters absorbing the Smashes essence, leaving a test subjects body lying on the ground. Stalk hands the bottle to a man in a gas mask. Then Stalk walks over the glass roof of the chamber and kneels down.
Stalk:(chuckles) As expected of our little rabbit maiden! You've defeated a 2 Smashes already! From the looks of things, you're quite close to Hazard Level 3! That Pandora Essence really does give you a power boost. At first I thought that you were Hazard Level 3 when you beat up that first Smash.
Houki:(catching breath) Guess not if I'm just now reaching Level 3.(grabs shoulder) Argh… But I'm full of surprises.
Stalk: If you're still managing to fight even with you're injuries, then this experiment is quite worth the while.. The Pandora Essence is powerful enough to let a Hazard Level 2.4 battle a Smash. Still it's good to know that you're progressing fast.
Stalk is engulfed in smoke as it enters the chamber where Houki is being held. "From this point on. You're facing me… Hope you're ready." Stalk says readying himself. Houki gets back up with the bottle at the ready. Stalk takes a step forward, but is grabbed by the leg. "Hmm?" Stalk looks down to see the Test Subject grabbing his leg. His eyes pale white. "P-Please… Let me out… Out of he-" Stalk sends a tendril into the back of the Subject. The subject dissipates into the air, much to the horror and dismay of Houki. "Bastard! You could have let him live!" Stalk just chuckles.
Stalk:(shrugs) You really don't get it do you? That man was so destroyed from all the Nebula gas tests we conducted on him, he was practically blind. He's no help to our work, nor the rest of our society.
Houki:(angered) Bastard…(shakes bottle) I'll kill you!
"Try me if you can..." Stalk says, readying himself as Houki charges at him.
Later… At the IS Cafe… We are Sento
We listen to the press conference following the Faust Takedown Operation. Or as it's being Titled: "Operation Blind Bat." With Action Prime Minister Himuro Gentoku-san, explaining it to the public. "I think it's a tragedy that someone involved with the government… Especially my own close assistant. Could've been terrorizing the people this way." This press conference is nothing but fluff.
Gen: But we have now dismantled the organization behind these monsters. I, Himuro Gentoku, will protect Touto.
Sawa:(turns off TV) There was all kinds of evidence at the Faust hideout, but none of it connected them to Touto, or Namba Heavy Industries for that matter.
Sawa-san hands me a report on the evidence collected by the government. I flip through it. "The entire matter was pinned on Utumi, in other words." We're back to square one then… "Sigh~ Dead men tell no tales… We may have just been dancing to their tune this entire time." I think aloud to everyone. Sawa-san packs his bag and heads for the door. "Where are you going?" I ask.
Sawa: I've finished my job, so…
Sento:(chuckles) But it's not over yet.
Sawa: Eh?
Sento: We need to find the connection between the Touto government and Namba Heavy industries, along with returning Pandora's Box to where it belongs.(looks at Sawa) We both want the same thing.
Chloe: Plus… You need to continue your close-up coverage on Build. You have to boost Kamen Rider's public image, Sawa.
Laura: And don't forget about proving Ichika-san innocence.(smiles) You have no reason to leave Sawa-san. You can stay here if you like.
Sawa-san smiles as she let's out a sigh of relief. "I'm so hungry!" She exclaims. "Then come on!" Chloe gestures Sawa-san to sit at the counter. "Come here then, there's plenty for you." Sawa-san heads over to the counter. "Come on, stop crying!" Chloe jabs. "I'm not!" Sawa-san responds. I chuckle, as I continue to eat. That's when suddenly, the door is slammed open. "PFFFFF~!" I spew out the food in my mouth in surprise.
Ichika:(breathing heavy) S-Sento! Sento where are you!?
Sento:(sighs) Right here you mumbling meathead! What is it?
Ichika:(looks over) H-Houki's been kidnapped!
"Eh?" Everyone looks over to Ichika. "How do you know?" Ichika hands me a data stick. I take the data stick and insert it into my phone. I pull up a video of an all white room, where Houki-chan is chained up bloodied, and tired with a Full Bottle in her hand. Stalk takes the camera and comes on screen. "Hey, their Riders, how've ya been? Either way you see I've got me a pretty little maiden. Come on then. I've told her roommate the date of our little meetup. Till then Chao." Stalk says before the video ends. "Damn it!" Ichika exclaims as he slams his fist on the table I'm sitting at. "Hey! Watch it." I exclaim, but Ichika is busy mumbling to himself. I grab and shake Ichika. "Calm down, freaking out isn't going to help us." I look back at the Video of Stalk… Stalk… What do you have planned?
Construct 53 Complete
Next Time…
Sento: Pandora Essence experiments?
The chase to find Houki has begun. "Houki!" Cross-Z Shouts as he drop kicks. Houki being attached to the wall by a chain. "Here! Take this!" Houki exclaims as she tosses the pair of bottles towards Sento. An Original Best Match?
"Otome! Katana! Best Match!"
"Build up!"
"Holy Samurai Maiden! Katame! Yay~!"
