A/N: Hello everyone! Sorry about the late upload, I have been busy with work and college. I hope you enjoyed the previous chapter as well as the introduction of Type Wild. CHapter two of my newest Kamen Rider crossover, The Hunt for the Eyecons (Kamen Rider Ghost x Ghost Hunt) is still being worked on (It is not that easy since I am trying to think of good scenes as well as finding the right use of the Eyecon Luminaries). Also, the pairing has been decided but it will happen later on in the story, can't tell you when though. And feel free to submit more OC Shift Car/Signal Bike/Viral Cores but on PM.
Also, I left a preview at the bottom page for you guys for an upcoming story that I am also working on.
Now let us begin the chapter of this story!
Henshin!
Third Person View
'Thought'
Mr. Belt
Roidmudes/Monsters
After getting our stuff ready, Noire, Neptune, and I headed to the NEXTridoron as we got the need supplies inside the car. "So how are we gonna get to Planeptune?" Noire asked. "All four of us won't fit in the car."
"It is the NEXTridoron, Noire-san." Mr. Belt corrected. "But you do have a point. It may be a two seater but only three people can be in the NEXTridoron."
We all pondered for a moment before we heard the sound of a motorcycle. Turning to the source, we saw Chase approaching us before he removed his helmet. ""Hey, Chase-senpai." I waved. "What brings you here?"
"I heard you four are going to another nation. Since I am here, I could explore more since I already learned about Lastation." Chase answered.
That was then a lightbulb popped up. "Hey, Chase-senpai. Can one of the girls sit behind you since we don't have enough seats in NEXTridoron for all of us." I said.
"Sure thing." He nodded as he grabbed a helmet and gave it to Neptune.
I looked at Noire and Plutia. "Alright, you two will take the passenger seat." I stated as I open the driver side door of the NEXTridoron. "Oh and don't fall asleep to take the whole seat, Plutia. You have to share the seat with Noire." I reminded.
This made Plutia pouted. "Aww… fine."
Getting inside the NEXTridoron, I placed Mr. Belt in the front as the vehicle started. I then realized that this is the first time that Noire will be in the NEXTridoron. "First time in this kind of vehicle?" I asked her as I notice Neptune putting on a helmet before sitting behind Chase on the Ride Chaser.
"Yeah…" Noire said, felt slightly nervous.
"Rest assured Noire, Enrique was nervous as first as well before I taught him how to drive it properly. Not to mention the NEXTridoron is a sports-class car." He assured her. He wasn't kidding about the NEXTridoron resembling a sports car since it can go fast.
"How fast it can go?" Plutia asked curious.
"808 km/hour." He answered. This caused Noire's jaw dropped.
"Ooooh that does sound fast." Plutia commented.
"Yep." I said before I pressed the pedal as I began to drive at normal speed. "Next stop, Planeptune."
Kamen Rider Dark Drive: Hyperdimension Road
Chapter 7: The Path to Lowee! A New Shift Car!?
After driving all the way to Planeptune, we soon entered the city as I smiled. "It's good to be back." I said.
"Yep." Plutia agreed.
As Chase and I drove a little longer, we soon made it to the Basilicom as we stopped our vehicles and got off.
As Plutia and Noire got off the NEXTridoron, I grabbed Mr. Belt and placed him on my waist before all five of us entered the building. "We're back!" Neptune and Plutia called out.
We soon saw Historie floating towards us. "How was everything?" She asked.
"Well Neptune, Plutia, and Enrique did well on what it means to be a CPU." Noire answered. "At least Neptune and Plutia actually listened to me."
"That is great to hear." She said in relief that the two actually learned some stuff from Noire. She soon noticed Chase with us. "Who are you?"
"I am Chase." Chase said.
She blinked before looking at me. "He is able to transform as well, like me." I explained.
"He was the first Drive; Proto-Drive." Mr. Belt added.
"I see…" she muttered before looking at him. "So what brings you here?"
"I was brought back and met the four at Lastation." His expression changed. "I am also a Roidmude."
"But he works for Belt-san when he was human." I added.
"A good type of Roidmude." She guessed.
"Yes." Mr. Belt responded.
"Also I am exploring the nations with him; knowing that the Roidmudes are here, I have to make sure they don't cause trouble… I rather not the same events happen like last time occur here in this world…" Chase muttered.
I place my hand on his shoulder. "Don't worry Chase-senpai, I won't fail you or Shinnosuke." I assured. "I won't let the Roidmudes cause a Global Freeze or wipe out your memories."
Chase nodded.
"Global Freeze? What's that?" Noire asked.
"Is it something that freezes the dirt?" Neptune guessed, making me sweatdrop.
"No… it's not." Mr. Belt said. "It happened back in my home world along with Chase when he was Proto-Drive. 4 years ago, the 108 Roidmudes caused time to stop which gave them the advantage but it also caused a quarter of our world to be affected." he continued. "Those 108 Roidmudes attack the northern region; many lives lost, civilians injured. Kami knows how many were lost…" his emoticon became a sad emoticon. "If it wasn't for Chase, it would have gotten much worse."
This made the girls look surprised and shocked. "And it was all because of my former partner and colleague, Tenjuro Banno. He created the Roidmudes and caused it to happen along with my death." Mr. Belt said. "I'm just thankful that the number of Roidmudes are decreasing thanks to Enrique here. This land won't be affected by the Global Freeze."
"So why aren't they doing it right now?" Neptune asked.
"They don't have the Core Driviars but they are still able to cause a Slowdown." he replied. "It is what also ables to them to resurrect. Before I ended up here, the Core Driviars were buried along with myself."
"I see… So we don't have to worry about them, but the Seven Sages's motive with them is what I am concerned about." Historie said.
"It is." Chase agreed. "However, Enrique and I learned who is behind the Roidmudes arrival."
"That Copypaste guy mentioned Lupin, was he the one you are talking about?" Noire assumed.
"Right. He is also a Roidmude but was human, an infamous thief by the name Zoruku Tojo who was well known for stealing very valuable items and getting away with it."
"So a lowly thief…" Noire muttered with a narrow look.
"He is also a master of disguise." I added. "And goes by the title Kamen Rider Lupin."
"Correct but one thing still finds me curious."
"What?"
"He may have helped Shinnosuke, Chase, and Go against Roidmude 100 but he disintegrated after its defeat. Remember, Chase?"
"Right." he nodded.
"Not only that, the Lupin Blade Viral Core and Lupin Gunner were buried with me back in Japan. Which brings into question, who brought him back and the Lupin Arsenal." His tone became very serious as if he knew who was behind it.
This caught mine and Chase' eyes to widen. "B-But, Belt-san, you said he died when Go defeated him by destroying that Driver!" I stuttered in shock.
"That man wasn't suppose to survive! I know I may have risked my life to beat him before but how can it be possible?!"
"Woah, pause the controller. What's wrong? You two sound like you are on a computer overload." Neptune asked.
"It's about Lupin…" Chase said.
"So who brought back that Lupin guy?"
"My former partner, Banno." Mr. Belt stated. "His son, Go, defeated him but I can guess that Banno must have kept something to keep his AI intact from the Banno Driver when it was destroyed. I never thought he would really come back for the AI he is."
"And Banno is a sadistic, mad, bastard." Chase growled. I nodded with a grim expression.
I am basically screwed if I go toe-to-toe against him since he has more experience than me. Even if Dark Drive armor is more advanced than other Riders, I still lacked experience.
"For now, let's just focus on the current matter that we are back and just relax for a bit." I muttered, trying to ease the uncomfortable air around us.
After a while, I soon went back to the lab with Mr. Belt as Chase was exploring the city. Why was I in the lab you ask? Well…
"Carefully place the part their." he informed.
I slowly nodded as I place the part inside. "Belt-san, are you sure it was right to make a Core Driviar?" I questioned, albeit nervous.
"We need to be ready for him, Enrique." Mr. Belt said. "If you ever go against him, we will need to expand the arsenal."
"I understand…" I muttered as I carefully place the light green top on it. I then gently grabbed it before placing it on the metal table as it began to power the small item. After 2 minutes, it was complete as Mr. Belt and I looked at the item. It was like Max Flare except it was light green, the hood having the symbol of a tornado and a fan, and its wheels resemble a tornado.
I stared at it to see if anything would happen to it. I look down before walking back to the computer since it didn't work. "It didn't work…" I sighed.
"Hmm… did we do some-" Mr. Belt in a thinking emoticon.
Suddenly we hear an angry honking sound. We looked back and saw the Shift Car trying to get out of the power table. "It's activated!" I said in surprise. I quickly ran to it before removing the cover for it to move around. It drove around us in the mini tracks before it landed in front of me.
The new Shift Car let out a honk. "Hello and welcome to Gamindustri." I greeted. "I'm Enrique and this is Mr. Belt."
"Nice to meet you."
I couldn't believe it. With Mr. Belt's help, I actually made a Shift Car! "We created you so you can help us protect people. Are you ready for that kind of task?" I asked.
The Shift Car honked.
"Then welcome to the team. er…"
Mr. Belt's emoticon became somewhat of a deadpan look. "You didn't think of a name for it did you?"
My shoulders slumped in defeat. "I didn't…" I muttered.
The new Shift Car let out a angry honk. "Hey, it's not my fault that I didn't think of a name for you!" I argued. "I have a lot of stuff going on!"
It honked again as if… oh this little Shift Car just swore! I then had tick mark. "You watch your horn!"
"Where did you learned that language?" Mr. Belt questioned.
"Who cares, this little car just called me-"
"Don't finish that sentence."
My eye twitched a bit before I massaged the sides of my head. "Alright…" I muttered before looking at the new Shift Car for a moment before a lightbulb came up. "I got it! Wind Blaster!"
The Shift Car became quiet as if it is thinking about the name. For about two minutes, it honked in agreement, liking the name. My expression beamed into joy before hanging my coat and grabbed Mr. Belt. "Come on, let's introduce you to the other Shift Cars." I smiled.
It honked before it followed us to my room. Once there, I was greeted with Max Flare, Type NEXT, Type Wild, Dream Vegas, Funky Spike, Midnight Shadow, and Digital CPU. "Hey guys." I called them as they all stop in their tracks. "Say hello to the newest Shift Car, Wind Blaster." I said to the other Shift Cars.
The Shift Cars looks at Wind Blaster for a moment before letting out a honk to the newcomer. They soon drove around the walls with Wind Blaster amongst them.
I watched them before my face was filled with some doubt. "Belt-san, I know you told me that you chose me due to my vow, but can I really uphold the title as Dark Drive? More importantly, stop Lupin and Banno?"
"In time you will be able to defeat them. Banno might have cheated death twice but this time, we won't let him continue with his sadistic doings with Lupin leading the plans for him."
I slowly nodded. He's right. Banno may be currently in some system in this world with Lupin doing the work for him to lead the Roidmudes but I can train harder and learn more about the Core Driviars to beat them. "I hope so…" I muttered quietly. "I may be part CPU but this… might be something that will be a difficult task to go against…"
I sighed before looking at the Shift Cars. "NEXT, Flare, Booster, let's head out." I informed.
The Shift Cars honked affirm.
When I walked out of the lab, the three attached to the Shift Holder.
After walking around the Basilicom for a bit to enjoy a walk, I decided to head tothe main room and I saw the girls talking to one another. "Hey girls, what are you talking about?" I asked.
"Well, we are thinking about going to Lowee to see Blanc." Noire answered.
"Already? We only been here for almost the entire day." I tilted my head.
"Well things tend to go quick and we kinda wasted a lot of time but we can get movin' now! So heeeere weeee…."
Before she could finish, we were introduced with a door, out of nowhere, before it opened up to reveal a girl with fair skin with bright teal eyes and blonde hair worn in a hime-cut that flares outward on the ends. On her head is a big pink bow with a stylized skull in the center and frills that line the bow against magenta lining. Her taste in clothing resembles "sweet lolita" and consists of a light pink dress with very pale pink-white ruffles at the neck, chest, two parts of the sleeve, and seven spots of the skirt. Accenting the dress are magenta bows and a big skull in the center of the skirt matching the one on her hair bow. She also has pink shoes with black underneath and a big magenta bow on each shoe to match the laces, along with loose white socks. She also had an angry look.
"Ga-thunk!" she announced as she slammed the door opened. "I've found you!"
"Aww, man! I was so into my big departing shout, too!" Neptune pouted. "Of course it's this bratty little baby!"
"I'm not a baby, you stupid little girl." she argued.
"Uh… aren't you a little girl too?" I pointed out.
"Abnes, what business do you have with us today?" Historie asked.
The little girl from Lastation is here today, too. "How nice. All the perpetrators are in one spot."
"Perpetrators?" I looked at Plutia, Noire, and Neptune then at the now named Abnes. "They are not criminals. They are nice girls and my friends."
"Don't play dumb! Of course they are." she argued.
"How could they be when they have been doing good things?" Mr. Belt questioned her. "Whatever your logic is, is seriously mistaken. These three CPUs are kind people like Enrique said."
I crossed my arms. "Yeah and I was with the girls the whole time. They makes me a witness and also showing they have an alibi." I added. "They are kind, friendly, and fun to be with; they are not perpetrators to whatever you thought they have done."
Abnes looked at the girls. "So you didn't do it?" she raised an eyebrow.
"What a meanie accusation! Only villains do that kind of stuff!" Neptune argued. "Maybe it's the Seven Sages and they're framing us! Or those Roidy Robots! That's gotta be it! I'm pretty smart, right?"
Mr. Belt and I sweatdropped when she called the Roidmudes, 'Roidy Robots'. "That is impossible!" Abnes denied before she calmed herself down. "But if it really wasn't you three, then I need to start looking for the criminal all over again."
"Aw, gimme a break. We were all pumped to go to Lowee, and then Killjoy Buzzkill the kidd arrived."
This made Abnes curious. "Huh? You're going to Lowee? Why?" She asked.
"So we can see Blanc and be all…" Noire soon interrupted her and said, "Hey! Don't tell her where we are going! She's our enemy, got it? She's a villainous little girl!"
I blinked as I looked at the girl upon hearing she is villainous.
One...
Two...
"BWAHAHAHAHAHAHA!" I laughed. "Th-This girl? Villainous? HAHAHAHAHAHA!"
This caused Abnes to have an upset look.
I slowly stood back up as I let out a few more laughs. "Man…" I wiped away a tear. "You don't look like a girl meant to do bad stuff; more like doing stuff that is more innocent and friendly."
"Grr…." she growled before she huffed and looked at the three. "You're off the hook for today. Farewell." she closed the door behind her.
"Aww, she closed the door like a good little girl. But I don't get why she opens the door so angrily." Neptune wondered.
"She said whatever she wanted to say and then left. What an annoying little brat." Noire huffed, "Anyways, let's head to Lowee."
"Looks like we have to go to Lowee…" Mr. Belt said.
After getting my stuff ready and got the NEXTridoron ready, I took notice of Chase as he was driving towards us. "Hey Chase-senpai, how was your exploration here?"
"Different than Lastation." He commented. He took notice of us getting some supplies. "I take it you and the CPUs are going somewhere?"
I nodded. "Yep, we are going to Lowee."
"From what I collected, that nation has building structures somewhat similar to the ones back home." Mr. Belt added.
"Is that so? Then may I came along?" Chase requested. I nodded.
"I don't see why not." I shrugged. "It kinda sounds like it will be home away from home." I turned my head to the girls. "Hey girls, Chase-senpai will be joining us for the journey to Lowee."
"Sweet! Now we have two cool guys who can be in super-cool armor!" Neptune cheered.
Chase has join the party
"What was that?" Chase asked. It seem that I wasn't the only one who could hear that.
"I once asked myself the same thing three years ago." I stated, "But you will get used to it quickly. It is kinda like a game since all the monsters are gathered in certain areas, hearing game-like terms, and such."
"Seems understandable." he noted.
I went to the driver's seat before moving the chair and reached for something in the back. I then pulled out a weapon that was like a Break Gunner but was completely black and has a blade similar to the Handle Ken that Mr. Belt told me about. "And I can try out the Blade Gunner." I said. "Mr. Belt and I created it a couple of days ago. Never got the chance to use it since I was using a Combat Dagger."
After the weapon vanished from my grasp, Noire and Plutia took the passenger seat while Neptune went with Chase on the Ride Chaser once again as we soon headed to Lastation to go to the dungeon that is in the border of Lastation and Lowee, Bud Arms Sewer North.
As I drove, Noire spoke up. "Hey Enrique, when we listen to Mr. Belt's explanation about the so called Global Freeze, why did you look sad?"
"Because the loss of lives is something that I never want to hear or witness." I answered as I kept my eyes on the road. "Parts of my memories may be missing, but I can remember hearing about my father who died when I was young. Losing loved ones is painful..."
"Oh…" she muttered.
"I rather not lose my friends to those Roidmudes or the Seven Sages. That was why I did my best against that Arfoire woman, Copypaste, and those Roidmudes. I care about you guys." I explained to Noire.
"I see…"
"Aw, I never knew you care about us." Plutia smiled.
"It is who he is, Plutia-san. He reminds me of Shinnosuke since he didn't want anyone to die." he said. "That was why I chose him when I arrived here."
After a couple more minutes of driving, we soon made it to the place as we got out of the vehicles. "Well, here we are." I said.
"Is there a problem crossing the border from here?" Chase asked.
"When it comes to entering a nation we often have to get past a monster that guards the border from other people that want to enter the nation." Noire explained.
"Are they usually strong?" Chase asked.
"Yeah." I nodded. "Neptune, Plutia, and I had to fight one to get to Lastation last time. If it wasn't for Neptune and Plutia helping with their HDD forms, I wouldn't have been able to beat it."
"I see…" he muttered.
"And there are monsters that roam the area but not that strong so we stick to our weapons than going into our transformation." Noire added.
"I'll keep that in mind." he noted as he got out his Break Gunner.
We entered the cave as we tread carefully in case we have to fight any monsters. As we walked, Neptune spoke up. "Excuse me Noire?"
"Huh? You sound too serious. You're breaking character." Noire noticed.
"We're all emotional and we got carried away. But Blanc wouldn't do something really super bad." she responded with concern.
"Your beliefs are irrelevant. My nation was attacked." she argued.
"Well yeah, but my tummy is doing gymnastics and it's making me queasalicious…"
"A gut feeling." I said. "It might be because you also think of her as a friend."
"Ehhhh, it's not that, but… How should I say this…?" she tried to find the right explanation. "It's like, if you wanna be good pals with someone, you gotta have a heart as open as mine."
"Almost sounds like Shinnosuke." Chase noted with a small smile.
"And like I said Neptune, this is all based on the CPU of Lowee from your world right?" she questioned her. "If you try to get friendly with the one in my world, you're begging for trouble."
"Let's not fight you two." I intervened. "Let's just find out what it is. For now, we know there is some link between Lowee and the Seven Sages but we can't go into conclusions just yet."
"He is right…" Plutia said.
The two stopped arguing and nodded before we continued our trek in the cave.
Abnes was with the other Seven Sages as she noticed Lupin with yet another steal. "You seriously enjoy your hobby."
"What can I say? It is what I am a master at." Lupin chuckled. "They don't call me the Master of Thief for nothing."
She huffed before looking at the others. "To inform you guys, those stupid little girls and those two guys are going to Lowee." she informed.
Rei then went into a panic. "Whaaaaaat!? Wh-What!? What!? Why're they going to Lowee!?" she asked with panic.
"Jeez, I don't know. I didn't pry that much."
They continued to watch her panic and blabbering about the bad things that could occur but this made Arfoire annoyed. "Shut your neurotic trap!" she ordered. "If you scream any longer, I'll rip your tongue right out!"
"Eep! I-I-I'm so sorry…" she squeaked.
"Hmph. If that gigantic idiot were here, he'd be able to shut you up with a single word." she scoffed.
"How is that idiot anyway?" Lupin asked.
"Copy is getting repaired right now and I am loving the fixes. Your boss was sure helpful with that advice." the voice responded. "Just know that it takes times when you explode, even if I'm doing the repairs with your boss telling me what can make him better."
"Even if you fix him, I do not feel he will become a useful asset for this organization." the other voice questioned.
"I won't be sure since Banno knows his way through stuff. He can be very good when it comes to this." Lupin countered. "Copypaste will be a brute once he is fixed."
"Whatever the case may be, I'll remove the seed that is causing the seed that is causing concern in our garden." the other voice said.
"Hmm? Remove? You can do that?" Rei asked.
"Naturally. I may have need of your assistance, though. Mwahahaha…"
"What a wicked face, Baddy! I know you're scheming a real big corporate shakedown!" the other voice cheered.
"What are you talking about? We put our plan in motion before getting here." he recalled. "... We will remove Lowee's CPU from the equation a bit earlier than anticipated!"
Lupin huffed before hearing a notification from his device. He walked away from the group before answering. "Surprise to hear from you, boss." Lupin remarked.
Soon a digital yellow face lits up from the handheld device and looks at Lupin. "Knowing that some of the Roidmudes have been defeated by the future Drive, what do you think?"
"He may be a problem but it will be handled." Lupin assured. "We are still trying to recreate the Driver for you to use again."
"You better or I will enjoy seeing you dismantled piece by piece."
Lupin shuddered at the thought. No wonder he is an AI, Banno is a sadistic punk. The call ended as Lupin put it away. "074."
With that said, the Roidmude with the number 074 appeared. "Yes, Lupin?"
"You and 060 go after Dark Drive and kill him." he ordered. "Boss is starting to lose his patience."
The Roidmude nodded before leaving the area to go after Dark Drive.
Our travel in the cave was going well than I expected. We were dealing with the monsters with ease as I was fighting against a floating golem and a couple of ghost like monsters that were blue-striped.
Chase is getting used to the appearance of these monsters as well. I guess with these type of monsters, he wouldn't have to go into his Mashin Chaser form to fight them.
I went back to focus on the floating golem before I used Blade Gunner and slashed it, causing it to to be destroyed. "Never gets old." I chuckled as I twirled Blade Gunner. I looked at the weapon again before it vanished and I looked at my friends and predecessor. From what I saw, they already defeated their opponents.
"Let's keep going through the cave, we just crossed the border of Lowee; all we have to do is exit the cave." Noire informed us. We nodded as we continued our trek through the cave.
"These monsters a certainly lower than the Roidmudes…" Chase noted.
"Yep but their are mini-bosses and bosses and they are super-duper tough." Neptune responded.
Chase blinked upon the term before looking at me. "Same reaction I had." I shrugged. "The monsters will get tougher and tougher as our progress continues."
"Noted."
As we continue further as Neptune whined. "Maaaaan… We've been plodding along for a while now… Aren't we there yet?" she complained.
"I'm so sleepy…" Plutia yawned.
"We crossed the border way back there, too. We should hit a city soon so,"
Chase soon stopped us. "Wait." he informed.
"What?" we asked.
"Hide behind the rocks." he informed as he quickly dragged us behind the boulder.
"Why-"
We soon noticed guards passing by and their clothes showed they are from Lowee. "That must be the patrol unit." Noire recalled.
"Oh, I see 'em," Neptune noticed. "Lowee's got its borders locked up all tight too."
"What do we do?" Plutia asked.
"We could slip past him?" I suggested.
This made Noire nod in agreement. "Right. When I give the signal, we run past him and make our way to town." she agreed.
We heard a thud, making us look and saw the guard on the ground with Chase standing. "Or Chase knocking that guard out." Mr. Belt said.
We got out of hiding before we continued our walk without any trouble.
Or so we thought.
Everything soon slowed down as we noticed with the NEXT shift cars making Noire, Neptune, and Plutia move at a normal pace. "Another Slowdown!?" Noire exclaimed. "Why here of all places!?"
"To take you five down."a voice explained.
We looked at the source and saw a Cobra-type Roidmude with the numbers '074' on its chest. "You again." Chase growled.
"Oh, it's you again! The Grim Reaper!"the Roidmude pointed at Chase.
"They know each other?" Plutia asked.
"Let's just say that Roidmude 074 and two other Roidmudes raided trucks that held sweets." I explained.
"Oh so they eat sweets like I do." Neptune responded.
"Only to evolve which didn't happen thanks to Shinnosuke." Mr. Belt pointed out.
"Well we have to fight this Roidmude." I informed but we took notice that he wasn't alone. We soon saw another Roidmude with the number '060' on its chest. This was Spider-Type Roidmude that was with Cobra Roidmude 074.
"Great now we have to deal with two Roidmudes." Noire got into a fighting stance.
"Let's beat two birds with one stone!" Neptune declared.
"We are not birds!" The two barked with a tick mark.
"Well, you will be gone thought." I announced. "Belt-san!"
"Start Our Mission!"
I turned the knob on the Drive Driver as I thrusted my arm out with the Type NEXT Shift Car in my other hand while Chase got his Break Gunner ready and pressed the barrel against his palm with the music playing.
"Hen...shin!" I exclaimed before I insert the Shift Car into the Shift Bracer before I was soon donned in my armor before my helmet's visor lit up before dimming.
DRIVE! TYPE: NEXT!
"BREAK UP!" the Break Gunner announced as Chase was soon covered in armor, becoming Mashin Chaser once again.
"Let's begin the mission." I declared as I got Blade Gunner ready as Noire and I went after Roidmude '074' while Mashin Chaser, Plutia, and Neptune went after Roidmude '060'.
I delivered the first strike as I delivered a slash across the Roidmude's chest, causing sparks to fly off and staggered back. "Let's change things up. Wind Booster!"
The said Shift Car detached from my Shift Holder before landing in my hand. "Ready to go through your first fight?" I asked. It honked with determination.
Since it will be the same as Type NEXT, I switched Shift Cars before I insert Wind Booster into the Bracer.
TIRE KOUKAN!
With that, a wheel that was covered by a small cyclone soon flew to my chest, knocking off the Type NEXT tire and replaced it. Once it attached to my armor, tire resembled a pale green wheel with the design of a cyclone but had the words 'Wind Booster' inscribed at the top of the tire.
WIND BOOSTER!
I crossed my arms as two weapons appeared in my hands were semi-circular blades that had its edges sharp. "Now we are talking." I grinned as Noire and I charged forward once more, dodging the bullets the Roidmude was shooting at us.
"I will destroy you, new Drive!" Roidmude 074 roared as it charged towards us as well.
"Let see what you can do, Wind Booster…" I muttered as I struck the Roidmude across its back before striking its chest as Noire used her rapier to strike at the Roidmude.
"Gaah!" it cried as it stumbled back more. It looked at us both with anger as it aimed its arms at us. "I won't lose again!" It moved its arms down a bit, shooting the ground.
After that, we saw cracks forming from the spot it shot. However, the cracks grew as it surrounded Noire and I before it gave way. "Noire!" I shouted as I got hold of her as we both fell, using my own armor to shield her.
XXX
"Ugh…." I groaned. I slowly got my sense together as I still saw that I was still in my armor, held Noire close as I saw the hole above us with the Roidmude looking down at us.
"HAHAHA!" it laughed. "You fell! See ya later, Drive!" It said as if ran away along with the glimpse of the other Roidmude.
Damn it, they got away. "Enrique! Noire! Are you alright?" Chase called out as I notice him back in civilian form, Neptune and Plutia.
"We're okay. You guys go on. We'll try to find a way to meet up at the exit!" I replied back.
"Alright, you be careful!" Chase nodded before they disappeared from my sights.
"Umm… Enrique."
"Yeah?"
"Can't you let go of me…?"
I blinked behind my helmet before I had a blush coming up. "S-Sorry!" I quickly let her go as we both sat up. We both looked at the hole above us. "Why did we have to be stuck here again…" Noire muttered as we look at the new made hole above us.
"Well we can't go anywhere since there are no tunnels around us." Mr. Belt informed. I looked around us and saw that he was right. We are basically stuck here.
"Just great…"
After what felt like 5 minutes, we sat back to back trying to think of a way to get out of this hole. "So how are we gonna get out, Enrique?"
"That's what I'm trying to find out. It's not like we can soar-" I then stopped, making me face palm my helmet. "I am such an idiot, why didn't I think of this sooner!"
"What?"
I stood up with Noire doing the same. I pumped the Shift Car three times as the sound went off.
BO-BO-BOOSTER!
Now the two Wind Blades now opened up as the blades spread apart, creating a fan as they began to spin. "Hang on." I warned as I had no choice but to bring her close to me as I had my other hand holding on the two Wind Blades, aimed at the ground.
Unknown to me, Noire is blushing furious at being close to me. The wind increased further as the dirt was moving away from us as we were being lifted. "Come on, come on…" I muttered as we were going higher. I soon notice the speed on the blades decreasing, causing me to quickly change plans as I made Noire hold onto my back, with my grip on the Wind Blades and stabbed it to the wall. I was using the strength I had as I turned my head a bit. "Are you alright, Noire?" I asked.
"U-Umm… I'm fine." Noire said, nervously. "I could have just went into my HDD form."
"Won't it waste your energy though?" I pointed out.
"You have a point…" She muttered.
I nodded as I got one of the blades out of the wall before moving my arm up to stab into it again. "I'm gonna try to get us out of here. We are only halfway out of this pit." I assured her as I lifted my other arm and stab the wall, continuing the process with the blades as I carried the both of us out.
"You certainly are smart, Enrique. I guess my teachings helped you learn a few tricks." Mr. Belt commented with a happy emoticon.
"You are a good mentor, Belt-san." I answered as I progress up the wall with Noire on my back.
After 10 more minutes of harsh climbing with the help of the Wind Blades and carrying Noire who was on my back, we managed to get out of the pit as my muscles aching. "We… made it…" I panted as I try to get my breath back from the lifting. I turned my head a bit. "Noire, you can let go now. We are already out of that pit." I informed her.
"T-Thank you…" Noire thanked as she got off my back. "But are you alright, Enrique?"
"I'm fine…" I assured as I regain my breath before reverting back to civilian form.
"Nice Drive!"
"I never done that much lifting before. Besides, I rather help my friends get out of trouble than leave them behind. It is not right for me to abandon my friends."
"I see…" Noire said.
"Let's meet up with the others." I stated. She nodded before stopping.
"Hey Enrique…" She muttered.
"Yes?" I looking back at Noire, "Is there something you need?" I asked.
I notice her blushing before she ran up to me and did one thing that caught me by surprise from the tsundere.
A kiss on the cheek.
"D-Don't tell anyone else what I did, you hear me?" She stuttered before running past me.
I slowly placed my hand on my cheek, speechless.
"I didn't see that coming…" Mr. Belt admit.
"Belt-san, did she just kiss me now?" I asked, still shocked about what just happened earlier.
"She did." Mr. Belt answered.
The CPU tsundere actually kissed me on the cheek. Now I felt a blush coming up before I shook my head to get my senses together. "Let's catch up with the others We wouldn't want them to be worried." I said as I ran to the exit, soon to enter Lowee.
Meanwhile within the city of Lowee, an unknown phenomenon was occurring in an alley as sparks were forming until a small portal formed before a small, toy motorcycle landed as it moved around a bit before facing the portal. After that the portal grew as a figure came out as if something kicked him out of the portal.
"Ite… where am I?" the figure groan as he looks around the area. "This doesn't looks like Japan."
The toy motorcycle soon honked at him to get his attention.
"Huh? The Mach Signal Bike…" The figure said before picking up the toy bike. "Where do you think we are?"
The toy motorcycle honk several times.
"I see…" The figure said before looking back at the portal. "It looks like we're stuck here for awhile until we find a way back. I hope others will be alright without us."
(NEXT TIME)
"So this is Lowee." Chase noted.
Me and Chase were left completely quiet as we saw the woman in front of us five. To put it into words, she has a figure that women would die for.
"Time to take you out, Drive! Grim Reaper!" Roidmude 060 roared as it and 074 charged for another round to fight.
"Holy…" I muttered in shock to what I saw the teen was holding. "The Mach Signal Bike!"
MACH!
Next Time: Welcome to Lowee! Going at Mach Speed!?

The Divine Providence of the Three Kingdoms (Preview)
"SOIYA!"
"Huh?" I muttered as I heard a sound above me, causing me to look up as I saw a large zipper open up in thin air. From the hole, a large melon made of steel soon appeared. "What!?" I gawked upon seeing it.
I wasn't the only one stunned by the sight of it. The girl and the bandits took notice of it as well and gaped at the large, metal fruit. The blank Rider Indicator also displayed an image of a certain Rider.
"MELON ARMS! TENKA GOMEN!"
The melon fell on top of me, covering my head. I felt my body being covered up by a full bodysuit. The white bodysuit formed first and then the helmet formed within the confines of the metal melon. The gauntlets and greaves gleamed gold with black lines rising up my arms and legs. The melon splashed with green energy before opening, the front section coming together in green plating with gold accents. The sides folded together to form shoulder plating, but remained slightly separated to give the image of spikes. The back pieces landed on the back, finishing the armor.
My helmet was revealed to have large eyepieces with a silver mouthplate and a gold crescent moon on the forehead. The helmet attachment was designed like the skin of a melon with gold siding like a samurai helmet and a melon stem coming from the top. The attachment had caused the eyes to turn green, giving them a look not unlike a slice of melon.
This is Armored Rider Zangetsu Melon Arms.
I looked down at my right hand to see myself holding the Melon Defender.
"Eh?"
I then took a moment to touch my face which was covered by the helmet.
"EEEEEEEEHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!?" I transformed!? For real!? How can I actually become the Armored Rider Zangetsu from the Gaim series when my belt was suppose to be a toy!? I was still looking at the armor I was in, too shocked from what just happened.
