IS Infinite Build
Construct 59: Sparkling Rain.
Sento: In the last Construct, Chifuyu and I faced down Tabane, who was found out to be Stalk. Who also used Ichijou as a Body double. But now that all the Best Matches have been found. She reveals who she is and tried to make off with the Bottles. While she got away with the Pandora box and panel. She only got one bottle pair. The rest remained with us, safely swapped with fakes. Now in a race against time, I work on an upgrade using Pandora matter acquired from the box. Now what will happen in Construct 59?

We are Sento
I hook up the bottle holder with Rabbit and Tank in them, to the Purifier. "Here." I hear as a Data stick is handed to me over the shoulder. I take it and look at who's handing it to me. "Chifuyu. Thanks." I say standing up and walking over to my computer and inserting the Data Stick inside. I pull up data on all known data from Tabane's computer. She was smart in having the system wiped. But all her data was equally stored on a backup server that I knew about. I pull up the info on all other existing IS's from all over the world.
Chifuyu:(concerned) Are you sure of this?
Sento:(focused) About what? Facing her? She betrayed everyone.
Chifuyu:(looks at Sento) I know, but even I would have a bit of trouble with her. Even if I get annoyed with her, she's my friend. And the one who saved you.
I pause as I look at the design for the new update form. "She's our enemy. There's no more reason than that to stop her." I firmly tell her, then I hear my phone ring with an unknown caller. Tabane. I answer and put the phone to my ear. "What do you want?" I ask, continuing to add the finishing touches.
Tabane:(over phone) Aw, come on Sen-chan. You know what. You sure got me good with those fakes.
Sento: Glad you enjoyed them. Cause that's the only think you will get.
Tabane: I guess we're gonna have to do this the hard way, huh?
Sento: That's what I planned on all along.
Tabane: Remember where I found you? Meet me their. I'll see you then. Sen-chan~.
The call ends as I slowly lower the phone. I sigh as I lean back in my chair. A beep comes from the Purifier as the microwave door swings open. I look over and walk over to Microwave. Opening the door, I look at the new Bottle inside… I have to do this. I think to myself before I grab the Bottle pocketing it and going to leave, but a hand reaches out and grabs me on the shoulder. "I know Chifuyu. I won't kill her. We still need answer out of her." I tell her assuming. "No… Not that. I'm worried about you, Sento." Chifuyu corrects.
Sento:(chuckles) You make it sound like this is going to be hard to fight her.
Chifuyu:(clenches fist) Don't lie, you know it's going to be and so do I. You are going to have a hard time. It's going to be hard on Ichika, Chloe and Houki… But you… It's going to be the hardest. I mean, as an amnesiac. She helped shape the man before me. You owe a lot to her, even if it may have been for ill intentions.
Sento:(face saddens) Odd to hear you have concerns about me.
Chifuyu: Is it wrong for me to be worried about a close Friend? I'm worried about what will happen.
Sento:(places hand on shoulder over Chifuyu's hand) I… I understand. I'll be careful, don't worry about me.
With that I let go of Chifuyu as she does let go of me. I walk towards the door, Chifuyu clenching her hand that was on my shoulder close to her chest. I walk up the stairs and into the main Cafe. I feel the area that the hand was upon, I clench the shoulder knowing what I'm about to face makes me feel heavy. But… I need to do this. I tell myself as I walk off to the door.
Alleyway…
The Rain is heavy as I walk towards the alleyway. It was raining heavy like this on that day too. I remember, the cold rainin hitting my head as I tried and remember who I am. I step around the corner, to see Tabane in her usual clothes, and a larger umbrella. "This takes me back… I met you right here. We've had one hell of a busy year." Tabane says remembering back. Yet, I still have one question that I must ask, something she has to answer me.
Sento: Everything you did for Banjou and I… Was it all just a lie? What you told Chloe and Houki… Were you really just pretending, all the time we spent together?
Tabane:(looks at Sento) I wouldn't say everything was a lie. You kids genuinely impressed me sometimes, like with that recent crisis. You really pulled though that event and there were a few times I felt bad for tricking you… But that's life for ya.
Sento:(seething with anger) No more jokes…
I toss aside my umbrella as I strap on my Build Driver. I ready Rabbit and Tank, a quick shake and I open the bottles. I insert them into my driver. Tabane opens her Cobra bottle and puts it into her gun. "Cobra!" I turn my crank, Tabane raises the gun up to her. We exclaim, "Chouketsu!" "Henshin." The sound of our transformation is drowned out by rain. "... Haaa~!" I shout as we charge each other. We punch at each other, our fists hitting out chests, Stalk knocks away my hand, and we exchange blows. But Stalk quickly puts me on the defencive, knocking me to the wall. I grab Stalk and I jump sending us over to the nearby steel machine shop, landing on the ground we break off of each other. As I get up, Stalk comes in kicking me back and under the roof of building. I keep trying to get a clear hit on him but she dodge and block my attacks. Charging at Stalk, she blocks and directs me towards the machines. Charging in from behind she hits with much stronger punches, that while I try and dish a few of my own power punches. She knocks me back and down to the ground, while she charges at me to pin me. I summon the Drill Crusher blocking with it and inserting the Ninja bottle. "Ready Go!" I activate the plasma lance, and I swing with shadow copies behind it knocking Stalk back. "Voltech Break!" But as we continue to battle, I remember back to Tabane's words.
"You focus too much on the Past Sen-chan! What's important is the present."
"I'm sure this guy can use the bottles for good, and bring Faust down… That's what I thought."
"Being able to greet you after you finish a battle… Something I love. Make us feel… Kinda like a family, y'know?"
Those words makes me pause, long enough for Stalk to slash and cuts me. "Welcome home!" I hear Tabane greets me in my mind. "I'm back." I hear, Stalk points a submachine gun and her Transteam gun and open fire on me, gunning me down causing my armor to fade as I fall to the ground. Stalk sighs in disappointment.
Sento: I can't… Do it…(crying) Of course I can't do it…! The person who made me who I am… It was you!... Thanks to you, I was able to keep a hold on my humanity… I believe in you…! You saved me! And now… How could I beat you?!
Stalk:(groans) I guess we're done, then.(points gun)
But before she can shoot me, a blade flies hitting the gun and knocking it down to the ground. The Beat Closser? I look over to see Ichika. "In that case… I'll kick your ass for you!" Ichika shouts opening his jacket showing his belt. "Cross-Z Dragon! Are you Ready?!" Ichika charges at Stalk turning the crank. "Henshin!" He shouts as the armor closes up around him. "Wake up Burning! Get Cross-Z Dragon! Yeah!" Cross-Z jump kicks Stalk.
Cross-Z:(fighting Stalk) I'm not even pissed about you framing me right now!(knocks down Stalk) I'm pissed about how you lied to Chloe, Houki, and Sento!
Stalk:(grabs gun) Oh, Ikkun! You never knew when to back off!
Stalk incerts her bottle into the Transteam gun. "Steam Break! Cobra!" Stalk puts the gun up to Cross-Z chest. "Crap!" Cross-Z is blasted off of Stalk as he flies back and hits the metal beam. "Ichika!" I shout. "Say..." Stalk lays back on the ground. Stalk lies on the ground letting her arms drop to the ground. "Doesn't it strike you as weird?" She ask getting into a sitting position.
Stalk:(looking at Sento) Why would I take Chloe and leave Faust?(Getting up) Why would I make you into Build and have you fight Smash? It was to get her to purify the bottles. When she learned that Faust was using the Bottles for evil, she started rejecting the purification process. Here I thought that a lab rat like her would be fully fit to handle such a truth. And since her intent plays so much into it, trying to threaten her wouldn't help. Not to mention her training it was only a matter of time till she broke out. That's why I decided to get her to purify the bottles for "Good." What better way to keep someone locked away then to make them think that they aren't locked away.
Sento:(growing angry) What?! What about Houki?! You're own flesh and blood!? How?!
Stalk:(sighs) You really don't get it do you? Please, I only did it because I saw her potential as a Rider. To think that a little apology and a sorry would fix our relationship… Don't make me laugh. Kamen Rider Build fights the nasty monsters… recruits allies, and then Chloe- No. That rat believes she's helping the good guys by purifying the bottles. Which means… That's the only reason I needed you. A set of disposable pawn, all thinking that their the king.(Grabs and lifts up Sento) You've been cast in the role of hero, that's all… you, Ichika, and trash of a sister… You were playing Kamen Rider.
Ichika:(trying to get up) Wh-What the hell…?!
Stalk:(tosses Sento to the ground) Got it all figured out, now? Just how much you three were dancing to my tune… You boys… Never stood a chance against me.
Sento:... This is the worst possible outcome… To think you were making that much of a fool of me. But, still…(Sitting up) The things we believed in were not an illusion.(slowly standing up) Me… Him… Houki… Cecilia… Rin… Charlotte… Laura… Chloe, and Chifuyu… We've been fighting to help people. And to protect other, we've stood our ground over and over again. Even without you… There are things I have to protect. And while a Kamen Rider may be just a creation of a mad man in this world… In others… We fight to protect, for the Justice that I believe in…(reaches into coat) I going to beat you!
I show the new version of the device. Now relabeled as the Rabbittank Sparkling. "Hmm?" Stalk look at the new bottle. I shake the bottle, the sound of pressure building up comes from the bottle as formulas appear in a circle around me. Turning the can inwards I bring my other hand and open the can. Bubbles disperse when I open the can, the bottom of the bottle extends out the bottle for the insertion into the belt. I raise up the can high into the air before bringing it down into the driver. "Rabbittank Sparkling!" I grab the lever and crank it. A new runner builds up, the one in front of me is half of my symbol, the one behind me is the other half. Both with tubes that are much more complicated than the pipes before. An additional runner on the side. "Are You Ready?!" I bring my arms out to the side before bringing them back in and entering my henshin pose shouting. "Henshin!" The armor complets forming as the armor closes around me.
"The Effervescent Burst! Rabbittank Sparkling! Yeah, Yeah~!"
The armor is much like normal Rabbittank, but now with a fuzzy touch to the entire suit. White streaks and bubbles dot the suit. The tank visior has the end of the barrel modified to look like it just shot a round, the rabbit has it's ear and fur extended in a sharper fashion. A white lighting mark on the split between the two ends with bubbles on it. The chest is the same with the two pieces on the visior designed the same. The chest is separated by lighting white streaks and white bubbles. The shoulders are different as their more shark with the same white lighting and bubbles. The arms extended sharp claw like extensions coming out from the wrist to the elbow. Legs are the same, with white collars on the shoes. On my back is a backpack with funnels designed similarly to the claw design on my arms, the backpack itself can break off into two pieces and fly though the air, as do the funnel claws. In total there are eight on my back.
Ichika:(amazed) Awesome…
Stalk:(surprised) What the? When did-?
Compressing energy into my Rabbit leg I launch forward with incredible speed, in almost a blink of an eye I'm by Stalk as I kick her straight in the gut with my tank leg spinning at great speed. The kick sends Stalk back, as she deploys a shield and machine gun. "Sparklers! Fly!" I shout as my backpack detaches and flies into the air, the funnels break off, a barrel extends out of each funnel and begin firing at Stalk, forcing her to block. I take the chance to quickly speed around Stalk and get behind her, she turns to face but I drop down and sweep her legs knocking her off balance, I kick her straight in the groin as she's sent flying. The backpack pieces separate as a barrel comes out of both and they fire bursts of plasma at Stalk mid air, knocking away her weapons. I walk over as she gets up, and kicks at me. I block and knock away her leg before block a swipe of her arm, Stalk goes for a punch, but I grab her arm and punch her in the rib pushing her back into a pillar. Quickly recovering, she goes for another punch, I block and push her back. Stalk readies her blade, swinging it at me, I dodge and block her attacks before kicking her away. "Blade formation." I say as one of the funnels deploy a handle and enters my hand. The claw end projects plasma as an energy sword is created. I charge at Stalk as we cross blades, now with funnels shooting at her. Forced to multitask, she loses focus as I strike at her multiple times before kicking her into a pillar. "Not bad… well, in that case. How about this?! Haa~!" Grabbing her chest plate and pulling it open, two snakes materialise. These are the ones she used to escape and grab Nabeshima with! I move back knocking away the snakes as much as I can but they manage to wrap themselves around me. That won't help! I can break free, releasing suit pressure energy! Between the gaps where the snakes wrap themselves pressures slips through bursting like bubbles, before the pressures is too much and the snakes are blasted off me. I grab their tails and begin slamming them around before tossing them into the air, jumping myself up on one hand I kick the snakes though the roof and into the air, I float in mid air as the funnels produce plasma blades that jam straight into the snakes. "You gotta be kidding me..." Stalk mutters. Time to end this! I begin turning the crank, a new formula appears along with a dual vortex cone that sucks in the snakes, the funnels return to me, all eight combine on my foot producing a plasma drill, the backpack combines. "Ready Go!" My belt shouts as I kick towards the cone, flying at great speed. "Sparking Finish!" I fly into the cone, the snakes are transformed into energy that fly at Stalk as bubbles that explode on her, before I come flying in kicking her straight in the chest drilling at her. "AAAArrraaaagh!" She screams before being blasted back into the alleyway where this began.
Tabane:(trying to get up) No way… How could I be beaten?!
Build:(Helmet folds away) From here on… The woman I knew as Shinonono Tabane is dead.
Tabane:(chuckles) Wow, harsh… You don't know when to hold back do you? Sen-chan… Oh. Hi Houki.
What? I turn around to see Ichika and just behind her is Houki shocked. "N-Nee...san? Wh-Why… You're… Stalk?" Houki mutters. Oh no… "Heh, trying to hammer this whole I'm dead to you thing home huh?" Tabane laughs. "Still, to think. I had no idea you whipped that thing up." Tabane says standing up.
Tabane: You might even be able to finish That, too this time… Heh… One last word of advice. Watch out for Himuro Gentoku. He's the real Night Rogue.(points at box) Feel free to keep the P-box handy. Besides, I can alway get it back whenever… What's more important… is the continued growth of you Riders. Work hard, Play hard, Sleep well, and get stronger. Oh! And Houki. I would say that our time together was nice… But if I did say that. I'd be lying.(Waves) Ciao!
Like that, Tabane just jumps away. I pull up my map to try and track her but she's already gone. "No… NOOOOO~!" Houki screams turning to Ichika and pressing herself close to him. "Ichika, take her back to the dorms." I order, not even saying anything back Ichika takes Houki and leaves. Removing the bottle from my driver the armor fades into the air, I walk over to the Pandora Box and pick it up and take it away. Before leaving the alley way I look back at the alley.
Tabane:(Flashback) Well, I can't let you sit out here. Come with me, let's get you all warm and cozy.
Sento:(Flashback) Wh-Why? I… Barely understand anything…
Tabane:(Flashback) No time to worry about that! I'm worried about my fellow homosapien! Now.(Arnold impression) Come with me if you want to live.(Giggles) I've always wanted to say that.
I bite my lip as I walk away, leaving the past… Behind me.
Later… We are Chifuyu
I walk into the Cafe to see it's silent. Ichika and Houki have locked themselves away and I want to know what happened. I hear the fridge door open, as Chloe steps out. "Oh, Chifuyu." She greets. "Have you seen Sento?" I ask, Chloe points to the roof. "He went to the roof, said he wanted to be alone." Chloe said before turning back and heading into the fridge. Sento… I make my way to the roof, opening the door to the roof, I see Sento leaning over the railing, a glass of high class brandy in his hand. On the ground next to him is a bottle of brandy and the Pandora Box.
Sento:(sighs) Hey. I know what you're thinking. And no, this is my first glass.
Chifuyu:(walking over) You know that's now what I'm thinking. What happened?
Sento:(swirls glass) Does it really matter?(takes a sip) You know… I was going to give to this to her as a gift.
Chifuyu:(stops in front of Sento) Stop trying to talk around the topic. Tell me.
Sento: ...(Sighs) When I confronted her, she was almost like another person. She was playing us… From the very start, the Smashes, Riders, multiple other encounters in the past was… All of it was per her instructions. And we just danced to her tune.(clenches teeth) She had us beat… And I feel that even now, I'm still dancing to her tune.
Chifuyu:(saddened) Sento…
Sento:(puts up drink to the sky) So who cares if I have a drink!? Even one drink should be enough for me to put it behind me and get back to work. I-
Chifuyu:(stomps over) Stop trying to put all the fault on yourself.(Sento looks over) It wasn't your fault. It wasn't Ichika's, Houki's, Chloe's, Cecilia's, Rin's, Charlotte's, Laura's, Yamada's, or even mine. It was Tabane's choice to do this… It's not good to bottle up you're feeling like that.
Sento:(turns to Chifuyu) What? Am I supposed to just cry or something?
Chifuyu:(walks over and hugs Sento) Like that matters or not. Just let out your feelings.
Sento:...(backs up) Sorry… You're right, I made you worry didn't I?
Chifuyu: Yes you did.(smiles) Welcome home… Sento.
Sento:(smiles) Yeah… Good to be back.
