Construct 74: London Bridge is falling
Chifuyu: In the last Construct, Sento responded to an attack by Grease who aims to steal Full Bottles. A battle breaks out between Build and Grease, when it's broken by the arrival of the Hokuto Trio who had been powered up by the Hazard Trigger, soon Cross-Z and Akats arrive on the scene. The two proceed to battle Grease as they slowly being losing control of their power. Grease and the Trio pull out after taking some bottles with them, Cross-Z and Akats chase after them but the power of the Sclash Driver overwhelms them and they fall to the ground. Their they are healed by Chloe though mysterious means. At the same time, Stalk appears before Sento and hands him the Hazard Trigger and tells him of attacks imminent on other countries around the world. Sento heads to England to stop the attackers. Good luck Sento, I'll hold down the fort here.
We are Sento
Sitting in the airplane I type away on my laptop. Going through data I've collected though recent battles, as well combat data on the Frontlines, and archived battles in the Former IS Academy's database. Using the data collected from all these, I could experiment with alternative enhancements to the Build and IS systems… Even though I don't have the Hazard Trigger on me, I could feel a dark dread creeping up my spine. The Hazard Trigger… What a terrifying weapon… "We are beginning final preparations to land, all passengers please prepare to land." The Flight attendant says over the comms, I close my laptop. "We are now entering our final approach to London City Airport. Thank you for flying British Airways." I sigh as I lock my seatbelt in.
Sento:(lies back in chair) London… Things are getting pretty hectic here.
London City Airport…
Walking out into the lobby I see a familiar woman standing out amongst the crowd. "Sensei, welcome to my fair country of England." Cecilia greets me. Behind her I see her personal maid. So this must be Blackett Chelsea-san. Chelsea is slender young woman with dark red hair. She dresses in typical maid fashion but with a wide leather belt wrapped around her waist. She has a very beautiful appearance. "Nice to see you again." I tell her.
Cecilia: Chelsea, be so kind as to take Mr. Kiryu's luggage.
Chelsea:(bows) Yes my lady. (looks at Sento) May I?
Sento:(hand luggage) Thank you, Blackett-san, or is it Miss Blackett?
Chelsea:(takes luggage) Chelsea is fine, Mr. Kiryu.
"I see, thank you and call me Sento." I thank her, I follow the two to their car. Getting inside, we head off. "We are going to my estate… Sensei, could I get a rundown of what's happening in japan?" Cecilia asks me, I look at her face. Clear worry on her face, I pull up a screen and make a quick timeline of events. "Take a look at these to get the gist of the situation in Japan." I say before I begin explaining the events of the last few weeks.
Alcott Estate…
I step out of the car to see the estate before me. Figures, this thing is massive… Chelsea parks the car and grabs my stuff out of the car. "Well, what do you think Sensei?" Cecilia asks me. I look at her and back to the building. "Fits you to a T. Though I suppose that has something to do with your family." I say to her, her face becomes neutral one as she ponders on my words. "Ah, sorry. I guess that topic is still-" I begin to say.
Cecilia: I've been thinking about my family a lot recently…
Sento:(looks at Cecilia) Is that right? Anything of note?
Cecilia:(nods) Yes… But I will tell you. You've told me of the situation, so it's time I told you ours.
Sento:(nods) Show me the way.
I follow Cecilia inside, heading into the main stair room to the other rooms in the estate. Following Cecilia up the stairs, we enter into an office room. "Take a seat." Cecilia says as she takes a seat at the main desk. I take a seat in the chair before her desk, she pulls up her screen and shows me articles and news reports telling of the situation here.
Cecilia: You're coming could not be at a better time. Before you're coming here, their have been a world wide terror attacks that's been putting the world on edge. Just as you were told, information bureaus across the world have identified the Phantom Task Terrorist organization as the ones responsible. They have gone on a campaign of breaking and stealing advance and experimental IS's and committing terrorist attacks around the world. With the most recent attacks occurring here in England.
Sento:(crossing arms) Hearing how Parliament is going into emergency meetings soon, including how I've been hearing of more security defending the members of parliament, the recent attack must have targeted someone important, yeah?
Cecilia:(nods) A recent attack was on Oliver Oralia a representative. The media surrounding him is mixed here, he's been working with the Touto government in giving them supplies.
Sento:(confused) Why is it like that?
Cecilia:(pulls up news) Information about the situation in Japan is sparse, news doesn't come out of Japan as much as before the war. But the current view of the war is blurry, and information on both sides are conflicted, while some countries get one piece of information, another country gets a completely different story. Their small, but people have become divided over the information.
Sento:(thinks) I see… So that's how they plan to sow the seeds of distrust amongst the other countries. Spreading false information on both fronts.
Cecilia:(sighs) With how you described the front, anyone who would go there now, no one wouldn't be able to tell the difference. This has been going on for some time since the war started. But back on topic, Oliver was attacked and nearly assassinated last week, Parlament is putting together an emergency meeting to decide what to do. I've been a long supporter of Touto's and I've been supported by other members of parliament… But, I'm suspicious of some who are helping me. Especially after you told me that Hokuto and Phantom task have the pockets of several officials on both sides.
Cecilia stands up and looks back out the window. "Add that on the attacks on important infrastructure and attacks on civilians… People are terrified." Cecilia says as I look at the news. It was very much like that on the streets… At the airport, I saw more people leaving than arriving. I stand up and walk over to the window looking out to see the city. "I hate this look out over the city." Cecilia says putting her hand against the window.
Cecilia: I used to love this view. But knowing how little I used to know, and how blind I was… Okay, "Hate" is a strong word. Frustrated, is better… This view makes me frustrated over how England is right now... Putting that aside. I told you that I've been looking into my family.
Sento:(looks at Cecilia) What have you found?
Cecilia:(sighs) Nothing new.(walks over to desk) It's all the stuff I already knew… But there's one thing I've noticed. There are conflicting reports on my father, being in different places than I remember. Many times in the past, my father would leave the house. He wouldn't return for weeks or even months. When I was younger, I didn't think much about it. But when I was older, I began asking my Dad where he was going. He told me he was going to hot spots around the world. Hawaii here, a five star resort, or a country side. I thought he was going to visit mistresses or something, I'd ask my mother about it, but she always told me that I shouldn't worry about it. I figured that she had given up on him.
Sento: So then what's the matter? What's conflicted?
Cecilia:(looks at Sento) Well, I found reports saying that my Father was in war-torn cities and countries. All days and weeks before the leader or crime syndicate that was causing mayhem were either killed or arrested.
Sento: That… Sounds like you're dad enjoyed rough company.
Cecilia:(nods) Yeah… But I don't see my father as that kind of person… Or maybe he was kinda like Katsuragi, before becoming you.(looks at Sento)... I'm… Not sure what to think.
Sento:(sighs) Either way, with this and the happenings in England. You sure have a lot on your plate.
Cecilia sighs as she leans on her desk. "Tell me about it." Cecilia responds, then an explosion rocks the building. "Whats happening?" I ask, I look at Cecilia. We look at each other and we exchange a nod before running out of the office. Heading back down the halls and to the main room we see Chelsea and the other maids and butlers looking out the door. "Chelsea! What's happening?" Cecilia exclaims Chelsea points outside. "Mistress! A terrorist attack outside!" Chelsea says to us.
Sento:(pulls out Belt) This looks dangerous, still have the Blue Tears?
Cecilia:(nods) Of course. I haven't skipped on my training either.
Sento:(smiles) Then let's go.
We run out of the house and to the streets, running past fleeing citizens. No time for the facemask and sunglasses! Setting HUD to hide my face! Arriving at police cars arriving to armed masked soldiers and two Smashes? A Strong Smash and Flying Smash. "Sensei! Those are-" Cecilia begins, I nod in agreement as I take out my Full Bottles. "Yeah, Smashes… But how did Nebula Gas find its way here?" I wonder before walking out. "Wha-? Sir! Get back! This place is dangerous!" An officer tells me, I push him aside before I dodge a shot. "Yup. That's why I'm here. You can handle the Smash." I explain walking out, the Soldiers spot me and aim their guns at me. "Cecilia!" I say snapping my fingers, Cecilia materialises her IS and rifle taking aim and precisely hitting the weapons off all the soldiers.
Sento:(walks out) Thanks, Cecilia capture the soldiers, but be careful.
Cecilia:(floats up) Got it!(flies after soldiers) Stop right there!
Sento:(shows bottles) Sigh~ Still can't believe that their are Smash here. Now then… Shall we begin the experiment?
I begin to shake the full bottles, as formulas begin to float around me. The police officers stop as they see the formulas. Opening full Bottles I insert them into my belt. "Rabbit! Tank! Best Match!" I crank the lever as the frame builds up. "Are you Ready?!" I take my stance before shouting. "Henshin!" The armor closes around me. "Fullmetal Moonsault! Rabbit! Tank! Yay~!" I ready myself for battle. Okay… Let's go. "The formula to victory has been decided!" I says before jumping up into the air, I materialise the Drill Crusher. Landing on the ground I swing back around knocking the Smash off its feet and to the ground. I kick the Smash into the air, grabbing the leg of the Smash I swing it around and toss it into the flying Smash. The two smash into each other and fall to the ground. Hmm… These are weaker than the ones in Japan… It's like the ones I fought around when I met Ichika… "Still, with how much stronger I am now. I'll make this quick." I say before taking out the Ninja Full Bottle and insert it into the Drill Crusher. "Ready? GO!" The Plasma Lance activates I charge at the two Smashes and send a flurry of attacks at the smash. Multiple Lances appear as they pierce the Smashes. "Voltech! Break!" I do one last swing taking both of the Smashes down in one strike, the fall to the ground and burst with green flames. I put out two empty blank Full Bottles. Opening the bottles they absorb the essence leaving to citizens lying on the ground.
Build:(rushes over) Hey! You two okay?...
Cecilia:(flies over) Sensei, the Terrorists have been- Wait… What?!
Build:(looks at Cecilia) What? What's wrong? Do you know these two?
Cecilia:(nods) Yes, these two are part of a list of kidnapped people. It's been happening for some time… I was worried it would end up like this… But I didn't think it would get to this.
Build:(sighs) Seems like Phantom Task is serious about making this a World War.
"That seems to be clear." I hear from behind us, we turn around to a man with brown hair, blue eyes, dressed black suit and tie. "And you are?" I ask, the man walks over to us. "My name is John. I'm an officer of the law. I need you two come with me." John asks us looking to the two of us. "Please, get in the car, Kamen Rider Build, Cecilia Alcott." John asks us pointing to the car pulling up behind us. "The Officers here will gather and interrogate these members of Phantom Task." John says, walking over to us. "So?" He asks. I look at the car then to John.
Build:(pulls out phone) Mind if I follow the car to wherever we go?
John:(sighs) I'm afraid not. Get in the car.
Build:(lowers phone) Look, let me clarify, I don't want to get in the car because the suit won't fit in their. I'll follow, you can trust me.
John:(looks at Cecilia) And you? Mistress Alcott?
"Let's make this quick. I have work to do." Cecilia says as she walks to the car, John opens the car door for her. I take out the Lion Bottle and open it inserting it into my phone. "Build Change!" I exclaimed as I toss it into the air, changing into it's bike mode. "Oh… That's how you intend to follow..." John mutters looking at the bike, getting on I rev the engine and we drive off.
Location Change: SIS Building
Build: The SIS Building? MI6?
I see, that's why the Agent gave us John. It's not his real name. We pull into the driveway, the gates open and we enter the SIS Building, entering we park and get out. "Well then, John. What does MI6 have with me and Build?" Cecilia asks John as she gets out of the car. "Come with me and you'll know." John says as we follow him to an elevator. We enter the elevator, John takes out a pass and scans it on a scanner on the wall. "Home." John says as the Elevator begins to move. As the elevator moves down, John's eyes fall on me. "Colorful." John remarks.
Build: I wasn't the one who designed it this way.
Cecilia: If you did, it would be the same. There would be no difference.
Build: Funny.
John: You two clearly know each other. Care to explain?
Cecilia:(points to Build) Met this weirdo while I was representing England in Japan.
"Weird is a strong word." I mutter. The elevator goes down to clear glass to see the internals of MI6. Information, missions, and much, much, much more... "You know that you will keep quiet about what you see here." John says to us, Cecilia and I put up a thumbs up. "Hmm… Good." John says as we reach our floor. The doors open and we follow John through the workspace, people glance at me before returning to their work. Heading down the room we arrive at a door leading to an executive office. The glass doors open on their own and we stepped in. "Well done, leave this to me." An old woman in her 60s maybe early 70s says to John. "Yes, Ma'am." John says before leaving.
Woman: Kamen Rider Build. Japan's latest weapon, or rather. A peace keeper made to do war.
Build:(sighs) Not really proud of that fact. I wanted to avoid war.
Woman:(puts hands together) Clearly, if you're here in our Fair England. Then you, Cecilia Alcott, daughter of Albert and Sara Alcott. Current IS representative of England, and advisor to Touto Support party. Head of the Alcott Foundation, and CEO of the Best Match Foundation, helping War Torn countries around the world, which include Japan now.
Cecilia: Why have you brought us here?
Woman:(smiles) Straight to the point. Very much in common with them… Apologies. Allow me to introduce myself. Call me Maria, and I have called you here to help with Dealing with Phantom Task.
Build: So what? We're now MI6 Agents?
Maria stands up and walks around her desk. "That has yet to be seen. Still, Build." Maria says before picking up a remote and pointing to her desk she presses a button as a holographic screen appears. "You're ability to take out these "Smashes" You called them? Will be invaluable to us." Maria explains showing us a series of holding cells keeping Smashes locked away. "Impressive. Energy cells." I identify looking at the cells. Must have cost a mint to make this work.
Maria: Correct, Build. We are currently tracking Phantom Task's movements to try and stop these attacks.(looks at Build) For that, we would-
Build:(looks at Maria) I already see where this is going. You want my Rider system to counter the Smashes. Well, I'm afraid that's going to be a clear NO.
Maria:(sighs) You must understand, we are doing this to keep England safe.
Build:(clenched fist) I knew someone who trusted people like you. He built something amazing that could have benefited the whole world. Then it was stolen from him and used to destroy lives.
Maria: We are MI6, not Faust. We would nev-
Build:(steps back) My answer is still NO. I can't trust people who don't even reveal their real names. I understand the work you do is for the good of others. But I still cannot trust you. If you want help handling Phantom Task, fine. But I'm doing this my way.
Maria: …. Sigh~ Fine. Nothing we can do then… And you? Cecilia Alcott? Will you help us?
Cecilia:(looks at Maria) I'm defending my country, then helping Touto. I have someone in Touto I want to see again as soon as the War is over.
Maria:(raises eyebrow) Is that right?... Well, that's not important for me. For now, welcome to MI6, Cecilia Alcott, Kamen Rider Build.(puts down remote and gestures) Follow me you two.
The two of us follow Maria back out of her office and the main office where John waits for us. "Ma'am..." John asks, Maria looks at John and then gestures us to come with her. "Come." Maria says walking towards another room. "Get them up to speed." Maria says, as we follow towards a docking bay.
John: 48 hours ago, our agents with local police and military discovered an abandoned mine being active again. Vehicles, personnel, weapons, and more. The items rolled in are items to manage an IS. We've also been hearing chatter that the next attack is imminent on the London Bridge.
Build: London Bridge? They planning to bomb the bridge?
John: Unsure, but what is for sure. The attacks aren't over.
As we walk down the halls, I spot a toilet. Now's my chance! "Excuse me a moment." I say before moving into the bathroom. Heading into the Stall, I remove the suit, and turn back on the face covering feature of my HUD. I head back out and into the hall where everyone's waiting. "Apologies, I needed to get out of the suit. And as it seems to be the thing, I'll keep my identity a secret." I explain to Maria and John. John looks at me in confusion, but Maria couldn't care less. "As long as you help us, who you are means nothing to us. Come." Maria gestures us to continue following her. Following Maria we head into docking bay, inside the docking bay we find a squad of soldiers. 4 IS pilots, and a team of Green Berets. "Miss Maria? We're ready to go on you're command." The leader of the IS squad updates.
Maria:(nods) Excellent. Kamen Rider Build, Cecilia Alcott. This task force I've made for this operation. Is is lieutenant Eleanor Amelia and her IS team of IS pilots. And this is Staff Sergeant Wesker Robertson. Him and his team of Green Berets have been working to find the members of Phantom Task in our country.
Eleanor:(looks at Sento) So… You're Kamen Rider Build. Touto's new weapon.
Sento:(scoffs) Speak for yourself. The Idiot Prime Minister forced me into the role. I am a protector, first and foremost.
Wesker:(walks over) Is that right? Then why interfere in our work here in England?
Sento:(looks at Wesker) Because Japan is bad enough. I don't want other countries being dragged into the Civil War. Two world wars are enough, I don't want three. Especially with the Pandora's Box in play.
Eleanor: Ah, because this Enigma of a box sure is the reason for the war in Japan.
Sento: You seem to forget that the Pandora Box made the Sky Wall, the Smash, and by technicality the Rider System. And if what I've seen is true, the Phantom Task team here in England is making Smashes. Then I won't forgive them for bringing Japan's war to England.
Wesker:(nods) Is that right.(looks at Cecilia) And how about you miss?
Eleanor:(walks over to Cecilia) Let me just say first, I love your work with you're company and the Best Match Foundation.
Cecilia:(bows) I'm glad to hear that, but I'm with Build on this. England has enough on his plate as it is, we don't need a war being dragged into our country. If it means that Phantom Task intends to kill people. They'll find that I'm not waiting in my nice mansion. But down and dirty with them.
Eleanor:(smiles) Well, hell yeah Sister. No wonder Maria brought you here. You aren't some high born lady, you a high born lady who can kick some ass!
John:(steps in) Sorry to break this up. But we have reports that suspicious vehicles are approaching the bridge. ETA 20 minutes.
Sento:(steps over) How do you know it's them?
John: We have IS signals connected to several stolen IS from our military.
Maria:(looks at everyone) John, you're with the team on this mission. Everyone, get your things together, you move in 5.
Everyone except Cecilia and Sento:(in synch) Yes Mam!
Cecilia:(nods) Okay.
Sento:(thumbs up) Okay.
