Gou reluctantly let go of his sister after giving her the hugest hug he could muster without hurting her and looked her in the eyes one last time. "Nee-chan… I…"

Kiriko smiled and reached up to smooth down a few pieces of his hair, like she had done when they were younger. "Once we're back in Japan and get the plan underway, hopefully everything will turn out okay and we won't have need for tearful goodbyes like this."

"I'LL DO IT! YOU TWO STAY OUT OF IT!"

The loud shout from Shinnosuke as he walked up with Chase forced Gou, Kiriko, Rinna, and several people in their vicinity of the terminal to stop what they were doing and stare at the cop, causing the man's cheeks to grown red and he quickly rushed by the group to get in the metal detector line. "W…we should get moving! Our plane leaves soon!"

Chase and Gou gave the two women one last hug a piece and waved them off as they joined Shinnosuke before they started to walk back to their car.

"So…Chase… what was that all about with Shin-nii-san?"

Chase snorted and shook his head. "Another thing I have apparently copied from you is the ability to see that Shinnosuke and Kiriko really make a cute couple. And from the fact that I have been witness to them unknowingly confessing their love for each other, I gave "Shin-nii-san" an ultimatum to confess his feeling for "Nee-chan" soon or we would intervene."

Gou held his hand up to his mouth to hold in his laughter. "Chase…you are the BEST brother ever!"

"Rinna, it's good to have you back here in the lab. When I wasn't able to contact you the last few days, I was worried something had happened. Did…something happen? I wasn't able to connect to the tracking device at all to monitor progress."

Rinna sat at her computer in the Drive Pit, typing furiously, trying to not make eye contact with the belt on the stand beside her. "Sorry about that Krim. A few hours after we activated the tracking device, I noticed someone trying to hack into the computer that Harley and I had connected to the device. Since we couldn't identify who was causing it, we decided to cut the connection. Harley had said someone had tried to hack one of his computers in Kansas, so we automatically thought Gou and Chase were trying to access the device to sabotage it. If we had known it was you, we wouldn't have gone through everything we did. We were afraid of contacting you in case it was them and they had a way of figuring out how to listen in since that was the only computer that was trying to be accessed."

The belt showed his grim face. "Ah, sorry about that Rinna. I should have told you what I was doing. After all…I really hate when there are secrets being kept between all of us. It's such a betrayal of trust. Wouldn't you agree Rinna?"

"Of course Krim. By the way, as I was working on the tracking device and saw that it worked, I had an idea that I wanted to ask you about. I think I may be able to boost the output of the device by analyzing the Machaser Signal Bike. It's got the info of both Gou and Chase and since that's who we're looking for, the signal of Machaser would match the signal that they emit from their body. Also…once I get that unique signal, I was wondering if I could try to separate the data of the two and make them separate Signal Bikes again? It might help you when you work to separate them."

"Hmmm. I can let you use it to find the signal, but I'd rather make my own calculations on how to separate the Bikes myself. Not that I don't trust you to make it work…but it's a interesting experiment that I'd like to solely work on."

The combined Signal Bike drove up on Rinna's desk and the woman put it in her pocket. "I'll work on it when I get home. My computer setup at home has all of the tracker data on it and won't be able to be hacked in case something happens. If I get any results, I'll duplicate them here at the lab. Also, from what Harley observed, I think the next lab they'll try to access is the one in Utah, followed by New York. Hopefully, we'll be able to catch them by then. Anyway, I've got to go grocery shopping before getting home. That week long trip was nice, but it's time to get back into routine. I'll see you tomorrow Krim."

Rinna stepped out of the Drive Pit and took the Signal Bike out of her pocket. Quickly scanning it with a small device she made to get rid of any brainwashing and reprogramming the Bike potentially went through, she made sure to leave the building before trying to talk to it.

"So Machaser, you ready to become Mach and Chaser and help your true masters again? Also…whatever data you have of when Banno combined you as well as Gou and Chase would be helpful as well."

The Bike had two distinct beeps to identify it being Mach or Chaser and alternated between the two excitedly, happy to finally be free and be helpful to their users again.

It was hard for Shinnosuke and Kiriko to keep up the act in the office, especially since they didn't know if Krim had some way of listening in and how loyal to Krim the others were. They had their suspicions the others were just like them, but unless they were absolutely sure, they both had to keep silent in case they were wrong. They were glad that the plan was proceeding well and that they were almost ready to start it.

Rinna and Harley kept in contact everyday, going over the plans they were making for Gou and Chase to enter in the mindspace that Banno and Krim were in. Since Chase's body was technically stronger since it was still fully Roidmude despite his organic elements, he would easily be able to transfer his entire body into data to enter the space. Gou however, would only be able to transfer his mind due to his mainly human body. Still, the two would now have the added protection of their Rider forms to help battle Banno and destroy him for good.

Gou laid down on one of the beds in the lab, making himself comfortable, while Harley attached sensors on the boy's body to monitor his vital signs. Chase was making a test run on transferring his body into data along with the special communication devices the two had been working on the entire week so that they could still be in contact with Harley and Rinna while they were in Banno's territory. Harley checked on everything one last time before turning on the computer he used to talk to Krim. Gou grabbed the sensors that would allow him to transfer his mind to the computer and attached them to his temple.

"You boys be careful and come back to me, you hear?"

The two nodded and Chase walked over to Gou and grabbed his hand. They closed their eyes and a few moments later, Chase had disappeared and Gou went limp. Harley went to the computer that was linked with the communication devices and Rinna. "Alright Rinna, they're in."
