Chapter 4 – Thieves, Mercenaries, Bounty Hunters and Assassins Part 4
(Insert Marvel vs Capcom 3 – Theme of Deadpool)
While LaGrange, Stranger and Embo kept the Battle Creek Zealots occupied outside the walls, Boris, Blazer and Locus dealt with the battle robot sentinels and Sid Crowe's bodyguards with Boris dealing with the former group and Locus and Blazer the latter.
Boris charged at a couple of sentinels and smashed them with his spiked clubs before they got the chance to use their weapons. He turned around to see the other two sentinels lift up their arms and turned them into gatling guns as they open fired at him.
Boris just charged in and jumped up very high like a grasshopper surprising the guards who saw him jump.
"WHAT THE HECK?! HOW'S A BIG GUY LIKE HIM ABLE TA DO THAT?!" exclaimed one of the guards before he was shot down by Blazer "How about paying attention next time ya scumbag" he told the guard not caring that he's already dead.
"RAAAAHHHHH!" roared Boris before smashing both the robot sentinels to scrap "BORIS BREAK STUPID ROBOTS! BREAK~ THEM! BREAK~ THEM! BREAK~ THEM! HAAAAHAHAHAHAHAAAAA!" he exclaimed enthusiastically with a harty laugh while repeatedly smashing the robot sentinels with his spiked metal clubs before swinging his clubs behind him at two robot sentinels that appeared out of nowhere as if he saw them.
"Hmm… don't you think Boris is enjoying this way too much?" questioned Locus while shooting down a few guards with his LMG albeit incapacitating them by shooting the non-lethal areas such as the legs, arms or kneecaps.
"Meh… let him have his fun" said Blazer before running out of ammo and switching out his current weapon for a pair of handguns composed of a custom FNP-45 Pistol with a dark gray bottom, a crimson top and a flashlight and laser light attachment on the bottom held in his right hand and a Chiappa Rhino 60DS Revolver Pistol with a dark brown grip and a gray body held on his left hand as he open fired at the guards who attempted to come near him.
One guard attempted to charge at Blazer while he was distracted and threw a right hook at him only for the bounty hunter to duck at the last second and elbowed him on the gut causing the guard to cough up some saliva before being thrown over the shoulder and the last thing he saw was Blazer pointing one of his guns at his face before he was shot.
Another guard attempted to tackle Locus while he was distracted but Locus stopped him and hit him on the head with the butt of his LMG followed by smacking him on the face with it before sending a right hook knocking him down.
Locus holstered his LMG and switched it out for the cylinder strapped to his thigh. When he activated it, twin energy plasma blades appeared revealing it to be a Type-1 Energy Sword.
"HOLY- IT'S A PLASMA BLADE!" exclaimed one of the guards.
"Who cares?! Just kill him!" said the lead guard as some of the other guards snapped out of it and charged at Locus.
The MJOLNIR armor wearing bounty hunter scoffed and swung his blade at one of the charging guards, slicing one guard's rifle in half shocking him before socking them on the face knocking him down. Locus continued to do this process over and over to every reckless guard who'd come near him.
Meanwhile with LaGrange, Stranger and Embo, the Kyuzo bounty hunter continued to shoot down red zealots from above while the literal live ammo shooting bounty hunter got out of hiding and started throwing his punches at the blue zealots while the racing bounty hunter continued to dodge the automated defenses.
LeGrange decided that it was time to stop the defenses "Now… for my coup de grâce!" he declared as he pressed a couple of buttons on his control panel and from the bottom front of his car, a few missiles were launched and whizzed towards the defenses destroying them in a number of explosions.
"AAAH! HE DESTROYED THE DEFENSES! ALL IS LOST! ALL IS LO-!" exclaimed a red zealot frantically only to be shot down by Embo.
Embo muttered something in his language before charging towards the fray finally getting rid of the last of the red zealots at the top of the wall.
Back with the other group, only a few guards remained.
Boris was just about done taking care of the last sentinel as he smashed the sixth and last one "HAHAAAA! BORIS IS BEST! BEST IN BOUNTY HUNTING!" he bragged.
Locus and Blazer rolled their eyes behind their helmet and mask respectively before continuing on taking down their enemies.
Everything was later cleared out once every guard was either dead or incapacitated.
"There…" said Blazer after shooting the last of his portion of guards on the head with his FNP pistol "That's all of them" he said.
"They better be" said Locus punching the lights out of the last of his guards.
Suddenly, an unexpected guard who was the lead guard attempted to sneak up behind Blazer with his AK-47 Rifle aimed at his head when all of a sudden…
*CLANG!*
He was hit on the side of his head, courtesy of a spinning metal disk which bounced back to its owner.
Blazer turned to the guard who fell sidewards to the floor with a *THUD!* before turning to the culprit "Thanks for the save Embo" he said.
Embo caught his hat and put it on "Don't mention it" he said sliding his fingers through the edge of his hat as he approached his teammates followed by Stranger and Marrok after taking care of the zealots.
LaGrange drove his car through the gate and skidded to a halt in front of his teammates, he opened his car window and turned to Blazer "Well, what now?" he asked.
"Embo, Locus and I will enter the house and search for our target while you guys take care of the Zealots, they could get up any time now" said Blazer holstering one of his pistols.
"Quoi? But didn't we just kill zem all?" LeGrange questioned with a raised eyebrow behind his mask.
"Have you forgotten? Blazer said that they can come back to life whenever the sound of a bugle is played out of nowhere" Embo reminded him.
"Da! But when do red and blue men get back up?" Boris asked.
(Insert Reveille – US Military Wake Up Call)
Suddenly the sound of a bugle was being heard alerting the bounty hunters.
"Quoi? Quel est ce son?" questioned LaGrange voicing out everyone's confusion minus Blazer of course.
"That… is the sound of the Zealots' wakeup call" said Blazer.
And at the moment the music reached its end…
"YAAAH!/YEEEAAH!/WHEEEE!/WHOOHOOO!" exclaimed the Battle Creek Zealots springing back to life shocking the group including Blazer and Locus.
"SACREBLEU!" exclaimed LaGrange in shock.
Blazer sighed shaking his head, switching out his current weapon back to his SCAR Rifle reloading it "Locus, Embo, with me! Boris, LaGrange, Stranger, keep 'em busy" he ordered.
"Right" said Locus switching out his energy sword for his LMG.
"With pleasure Blaze" said Stranger loading his crossbow with Stingbees and red eyed shell insects called Thudslugs.
"Hoho~… LaGrange took out these imbecile soldiers… and LaGrange will do it again" declared LaGrange revving up his car's engine.
"Da! Boris break puny red and blue soldiers!" said Boris getting his spiked clubs ready.
"Okay" nodded Embo getting his Bowcaster ready.
"Embo, we'll be needing Marrok for this, call him out" said Blazer.
Embo nodded and turned to his Anooba companion "Marrok!" he called out as his faithful companion ran to him.
"Let's go!" said Blazer as he and half of his group ran inside Sid's house while the other half dealt with the zealots.
The three bounty hunters and Anooba hound were currently looking around the halls of the house, the anooba sniffing out the scent of their target. Along the way, they killed some bodyguards they'd come across.
They then entered a hall full of rooms. Marrok smelled the halls, seeing if he could trace the scent of their target. He then stopped upon picking up a scent that was quite disturbing as he let out a growl.
The Anooba charged towards one of the doors with the bounty hunters following behind.
Marrok lunged at the door and broke it off its hinges and tackled the first thing it saw as a threat which was another one of Sid Crowe's guards as the Anooba pinned him to the ground and growled at him baring his teeth, scaring the guard.
Blazer was the first to enter followed by Locus and Embo and what they saw shocked them but mostly Blazer. Inside the room were several young women from ages 16-20 strapped and gagged to beds. Some were unconscious while others were struggling to get out of their restraints but to no avail.
The bounty hunters took notice of three other guards in the room and they immediately took action with Embo and Locus shooting two of the guards with one shot on the chest by a laser bolt and the other shot in the arms and legs respectively knocking them down.
The third guard who was about to have his way with one of the poor girls who was about 17 years old when the bounty hunters barged in stood up from the bed in shock.
"What the?! Who the heck are you?!" the guard exclaimed pointing his pistol at the bounty hunters.
Blazer took notice that the guard was shirtless and his zipper was down and he also noticed that the terrified girl he was about to rape had part of her top ripped off.
The gasmask wearing bounty hunter growled in anger before turning to the guard who flinched at his intimidating gaze, despite not seeing his face, Blazer's scary even when wearing his mask.
Blazer unholstered his Rhino revolver faster than the eye could see and fired a bullet straight towards the guard's nards.
"AAAAGH! MY NARDS!" he shouted in extreme pain stumbling back simultaneously dropping his gun and falling on his back holding his bleeding crotch.
Embo and Locus cringed a bit at that as Blazer slowly approached the squirming guard who was crawling backwards in silent fury.
The guard ended up on a corner as he looked up to see Blazer and slightly flinched. "Y-you bastard!" uttered the guard in pain "You shot my nards!" he said trying to hide his fear.
Blazer just scoffed and holstered his revolver and pressed a few buttons on his watch and his SCAR Rifle which he held on his right hand was engulfed in orange pixels and taking its place was a Mossberg 500 pump-action Shotgun. He pointed the barrel towards the guard making him flinch "That's what you scum get for defiling women… especially those young innocent ones…" he said darkly leaning the end of the barrel towards his head scaring him.
Seeing this scared the restrained girls. Blazer sensed their fear and slightly turned towards them "Turn away and close your eyes if you're scared…" he said gently.
Despite being scared, the terrified girls did as they were told, and the next thing they heard was…
*BLAM!*
That sound caused them to scream as a result of Blazer killing the guard. He pumped the shotgun with a sound of *CHNK-CHNK!* before holstering it on his back.
Blazer proceeded to the girl the now dead guard was about to rape and unsheathed his Machete and cut loose the restraints on her "Embo! Locus! Help me out in cutting them loose!" he said.
Locus and Embo nodded and took out their Energy Sword and Vibro Knife respectively and helped with cutting the women loose.
Blazer took out a clean cloth from his watch's pocket dimension and put it over the half-naked girl "It's okay now, we'll get all of you out of here" he assured her.
"Th-th-thank you…" said the girl with tears of joy and relief, she was glad that she and the others will be free and be able to get out of this nightmare.
Blazer nodded before turning to the remaining guard who's still pinned down by Marrok.
"Hey you…" he said approaching the pinned down guard who turned to the bounty hunter "Where's your boss?" he questioned.
"I-I-I'll never talk!" said the guard defiantly.
Blazer just scoffed "Embo…" he gestured.
Embo nodded "Marrok…" he called out.
On command, the Anooba barked at the guard, getting some of his slobber on his face and baring his sharp teeth terrifying him.
"OKAY! OKAY! I'LL TALK! HE'S IN HIS STUDY!" confessed the guard "JUST GO STRAIGHT AHEAD OF THE HALL AND TURN TO THE LEFT AND IT'LL BE STRAIGHT AHEAD!" he said and Embo commanded Marrok to stop in which the Anooba did.
"There… that wasn't so hard?" said Blazer sarcastically.
"So… are you gonna let me go?" asked the guard.
Blazer stared at the guard for a long moment before gesturing Embo to have Marrok get off the guard in which he did and the Anooba obeyed his master.
The guard sighed in relief as he sat up "Thanks…" said the guard slowly reaching behind his pants without their notice "I'm glad that we came to an…" he then pulled out a pistol and pointed it at Blazer "UNDERSTANDING!" he said with a sadistic smile as he proceeded to open fire causing the girls to scream again.
The guard laughed hysterically while continuing to fire his pistol at Blazer and the bounty hunter would flinch at every shot but what the guard didn't know was that his bullets weren't even doing anything to him, for every time a bullet hit Blazer, it would just bounce off of him as if his body was made of steel.
Upon running out of bullets, the guard's adrenaline left him and was replaced by pure shock and disbelief because Blazer was still standing "H-H-H-HOW?!" he said.
Blazer glared at the despicable guard "Did you honestly think you could kill me with that measly peashooter of yours?" he said darkly making the guard flinch.
(Insert Ghost Rider Spirit of Vengeance OST – Bring Back Ghost Rider)
Blazer pulled out his Torchthrower and unleashed a flame torrent with the sound of *FWOOOOSHHHH!* setting the guard on fire as the scum screamed in great agony as he burned.
Seeing this scared the girls as they watched the guard roll on the ground trying in vain to put out the flames. The guard then got up and attempted to run to the door's entrance but Blazer switched out to his dual pistols and open fired.
*BANG!* *BANG!* *BANG!* *BANG!* *BANG!* *BANG!*
Upon ceasing his barrage, the guard dropped dead while his corpse continued to burn.
Normally, the girls would be horrified at the sight after seeing what Blazer did, but in this case, they were glad and relieved that scum like him are gone now.
Locus and Embo… well they remained unfazed because they know how Blazer is when it comes to scum like those guards.
Blazer sighed before holstering his pistols and turned to his comrades "Embo, Locus, I'll go after Sid, you search the other rooms for anymore captive young women, and if you do find some, free them, and if you find any guards with them, take 'em out and after that, get the girls out of here" he ordered.
"On it" nodded Locus along with Embo.
While Locus and Embo continued to search for other captive young women, Blazer headed straight for Sid Crowe's office where his target awaited. He currently had his Chiappa Rhino Revolver held in hand when he came across a pair of double doors which awaited his target.
Blazer narrowed his eyes before kicking the door open "Knock, knock!" he said entering the room while pointing his gun forward.
The room looked like a traditional study office with bookshelves on one side, a fireplace on the other side, a few sofas in the middle and a desk and a fabric swivel chair.
Blazer scanned the room and found his target. Sitting casually on the chair with his arms crossed and feet resting on the desk was Sid Crowe wearing a casual arrogant smile on his face despite the predicament he's in.
"Well… well… well… if it isn't the infamous Blazer" said Sid casually despite being held at gunpoint.
"Yeah… and I'm sure you know why I'm here?" said Blazer.
"Well, of course…" said Sid getting his feet off his desk and stood up "After all… I have a large bounty on my head, so it's no surprise that bounty hunters would come after me eventually" he said with a grin while shrugging his shoulders matter-of-factly.
Blazer kept his guard up while keeping Sid at gunpoint "I was actually hired by your old boss" he said "Said he wanted you taken care of" he added.
"Oh~" Sid nodded casually as he walked to the side "So… Don Agresta sends someone to do his dirty work for him huh…?" he mused "Hmm… somehow I don't find that surprising at all, considering how he spends most of his time lifting weights in the gym and eat steak instead of just come here himself" Sid said.
Blazer scoffed "Well according to him, you're just a waste of time but he hasn't forgotten what you did" he said.
"Oh, you mean taking his money? Heh… he has lots more, there's no reason for him to be all upset, what's the harm if I "borrowed" some doe from him" Sid nonchalantly said.
"Hmph… doesn't matter… consider this your day of reckoning for subjugating the town and as well as taking their women prisoner" said Blazer.
The criminal just laughed in response "Me? Subjugate the town?" he said in amusement "All I'm doing is doing the town a favor" he said "I make sure they stay safe so long as they stay in line while they make sure to pay tribute to me once in a while whenever my boys go to town, after all… I run the town, I do whatever I want" he explained "And the women…" he said grinning "All I'm doing is indulging them to pleasures and joys they'd ever dream of" he said licking his lips "They should be grateful that I gave them the chance to experience such pleasures… especially those young beautiful dolls that I handpicked myself, they were amazing… moaning like the obedient whores they were" said Sid, his grin turning to a sick and twisted one while he chuckled in amusement.
This angered Blazer to the core, his hands gripping his gun started shaking in rage.
Sid took notice and raised an eyebrow, although he could care less "Hmm? Did I hit a nerve?" he asked in amusement.
Blazer growled as he pulled the hammer of his revolver "YOU'RE DEAD!" he shouted in fury.
But before he could pull the trigger, Sid quick drew his Colt Single Action Army Revolver Pistol and fired five shots at Blazer, one shot disarming him and the remaining four shooting him in the chest causing him to stagger a couple of steps and fall on one knee with one arm supporting him as he groaned.
"Hmhmhmhmhm…" chuckled Sid in amusement "Feisty one, aren't you?" he said with a smug grin.
"Heh…" uttered Blazer with a smirk behind his mask confusing Sid "Hmm?" the wanted criminal uttered with a raised eyebrow.
And as quick as a flash, Blazer quick drew his FNP Pistol and aimed and fired a shot at Sid's gun disarming him taking him by surprise.
"What the?! How?!" exclaimed Sid in shock holding his slightly injured hand.
"It'll take more than a few measly bullets to take me down Sid…" said Blazer standing back up with his pistol pointed at Sid as the bullets that the criminal fired harmlessly fell off of Blazer's chest as if his chest was made of steel.
"I see…" said Sid impressed "Using bullet proof armor to counter my bullets huh?" he assumed.
"You could say that…" said Blazer "Time for you to face the music Sid, best that you start begging for your life before I shove a bullet up your head" he threatened.
Sid in response slowly chuckled before it turned to full blown laughter much to Blazer's confusion and annoyance "What's so funny?" he questioned with a raised eyebrow.
Sid paused his laughing and looked at Blazer "Did you think I'd let you kill me without a fight?" he said with smug grin "Even without my weapon… I still have one "ace" up my sleeve" he said as he took out something from within his jacket.
It was some blue colored device with a slot in the middle with two transparent yellow and silver pressing mechanisms on either side, a transparent cylinder slanted to the right with a red top on it on the right side and a transparent yellow and silver wrench lever slanted left on the left side of the device. This was the Sclash Driver.
Blazer saw it and his eyes widened in shock and recognition behind his mask "No way… that's-!" he said but was interrupted by Sid.
"Oh~? It seems you recognize this thing hmm?" said Sid "I took this little gizmo from my old "boss"." he said confirming that it was this device that Sid stole from the Crimson Horns "I never got the chance to use it but since you're here... I guess now's a better time to use it!" he said in glee as he strapped it to his waist with a belt materializing around said waist.
SCL~ASH~ DRIVER!
The device announced as Blazer prepared himself. Sid then pulled out what looked like a purple bottle with designs of jaws on either side, a gold top cover and a green twist cap on the very top. This is the Crocodile Crack Fullbottle.
With one hand, he spun the bottle open as a soft cracking sound was heard while red cracks lit up the middle of the bottle in between the jaw designs.
DANGER~!
And upon it's activated announcement, Jaws-esque music started playing as Sid inserted the bottle into the driver.
CROCODILE!
It announced followed by a guitar riff sound.
Blazer glared "You think you can become a Kamen Rider Sid?! Well news flash, you need to inhale some substance called Nebula Gas in order to use that particular rider system, plus you'll need to have some kind of affinity in order to transform with it and last I checked, you haven't inhaled any of that gas!" he told him.
"Wrong!" retorted Sid "Not only did I steal this but I also stole a couple of canisters filled with the Nebula Gas you speak of and I already inhaled it two years ago!" he told him making Blazer's eyes widen behind his mask "And since I didn't turn into those monstrous creatures… I'm sure you know what that means?" he said with a smug grin.
Not waiting for an answer, Sid cried out "Henshin!" and pushed down the wrench lever of the driver sending the crocodile essence into the cylinder to the right side as it turned purple. Then a metal platform appeared below Sid and he was encased in a giant beaker filled with purple liquid.
WARERU! KUWARERU! KU-DA-KE-CHIRU!
Then a pair of metallic crocodile jaws appeared beneath, in between the beaker and "chomps" on the beaker shattering it revealing Sid Crowe's new form.
He's now clad in a black and purple suit with purple crocodile themed armor composed of shoulder armor, torso armor, bracers and armored boots with several white lines across his suit and as well as turquoise on some parts of the armor, white gloves, black chestplate with white cracks forming a somewhat crocodile face and a black and purple crocodile themed helmet. The purple jaws of the helmet "chomped" the black sphere helmet head literally creating white cracks as a result, two turquoise eye visors were revealed completing the transformation.
CROCODILE IN RO~GUE! O~RAA~!
The transformation sequence ended with the sound of a woman screaming. Normally this would make others freak out, but in this case, Blazer was anything but… he was left dumbstruck… for his target had become a Kamen Rider… he had become… Kamen Rider Rogue.
Sid... or Rogue chuckled in amusement. Even though Blazer was wearing a mask, he could tell that his jaw dropped and was speechless "Well? What do you think?" he gloated raising his hands up to either side.
There was long moment of silence before Blazer uttered out one thing he could say.
"Aww… fudge…"
Meanwhile, outside the house, Boris, LaGrange and the Stranger finished taking care of the Battle Creek Zealots and this time upon Stranger's request, they tied them up in case they come back to life again.
Embo and Locus accompanied by the former's Anooba companion Marrok managed to free all the young women including those who were found in Sid's personal chambers and took them outside the house, most of them were wrapped in cloths to cover their underdressed bodies.
All of them were relieved and happy to be free of the horrid nightmare of a house and finally get to reunite with their loved ones, some of them even let out tears of joy. Currently, all the young women were entering a travel trailer large enough for all of them to fit in and it was towed to LaGrange's car. How did the bounty hunters manage to get a travel trailer? Well, LaGrange had one kept secured in his advanced wrist watch's pocket dimension.
The remaining mercs stared at LaGrange's trailer due to the size of the thing, they turned their sights to the racer bounty hunter.
LaGrange turned to them and raised an eyebrow "Quoi?" he said.
"How does racecar man have big trailer camper?" Boris questioned.
"What? Did you think I spent my earned money on just modifications on my car? Even bounty hunters such as myself need necessary essentials in case of emergencies such as zis you know" said LaGrange making everyone sweatdrop.
"O-kay…" said Embo not sure, what else to say as he along with the others continued to help get some of the young women who were unconscious inside LaGrange's trailer.
Suddenly… the sound of an explosion was heard making the whole place shake as some of the girls both in and out of the trailer screamed in fright and worry.
"Ca c'était quoi?" exclaimed LaGrange surprised by the sudden tremor.
"I don't know… but whatever it was… it's not good" said Locus grimly.
CRACK UP FINISH!
Suddenly, part of the house's wall exploded with Blazer flying through said wall as he landed, tumbled and rolled to the ground just a few feet away from the others as the gasmask wearing bounty hunter groaned upon stopping, the right-side glass visor of his mask slightly cracked.
The rest of the bounty hunters stared at their downed comrade before staring up at the smoke.
From the smoke came a distorted silhouetted figure and when the smoke cleared, out came Kamen Rider Rogue slowly walking towards them causing some of the other bounty hunters to widen their eyes and some even had their jaws dropped to the ground, others were indifferent but were shocked none the less and the young women who have yet to enter the trailer had scared looks on them.
"Hey!" shouted the voice of Blazer causing the others to turn to him who managed to stand back up on his feet with his helmet falling off his head "What're you standing around here for?! Get those girls back safely to the village now!" he ordered and that snapped them out of their shock.
"Oui! On it!" said LaGrange snapping out of it "Dépêchez-vous Mademoiselles!" he said as he and Stranger helped the rest of the girls inside the trailer before the racer got inside his car.
"You think I can let you escape with my women?! Especially my hand-picked prizes!?" called out Sid pulling out a weapon and pointing it forward. The weapon in question looked like a purple pistol with a gold panel with turquoise gears on one side, a slot for inserting bottles below the barrel and a gold bottom on the grip. This is the Nebulasteam Gun.
Before Rogue could fire, he was pelted with laser bolts, bullet rounds and shotgun slugs courtesy of Embo, Locus and Blazer and even though it was doing no damage, for some reason it made the wanted criminal/kamen rider stagger back.
(Insert Panic Switch by Silversun Pickups)
"You'll have to get through us first scum…" said Blazer pumping his shotgun discarding the empty shell.
"I could only assume that this is Sid, right?" asked Locus with his LMG smoking "Yep" nodded Blazer in confirmation.
Locus nodded "Stranger! Get in the trailer and protect the women along with the transport, Boris, Embo and I will help Blazer take care of this guy" he ordered with the live ammo using bounty hunter nodding as he got inside the trailer.
"Marrok!" called out Embo as he gestured to his Anooba companion to get in the trailer to protect those inside and the Anooba nodded and followed Stranger inside the trailer and closed it.
"Allons-y tout le monde! Hold on! 'Cause zis is gonna be eh bumpy ride!" warned LaGrange as he floored it and accelerated towards the town with all the freed women safely inside along with Stranger protecting them.
While LaGrange and Stranger got away with the young women, Blazer, Boris, Embo and Locus dealt with Rogue.
Rogue growled upon seeing the bounty hunters escape with his "property" as Boris charged forward roaring with his spiked clubs ready to smash the crocodile rider.
"Boris, wait!" called out Blazer extending his arm out to Boris attempting to stop him but was heard on deaf ears.
"BORIS BREAK PURPLE CROCODILE MAN!" shouted Boris nearing his target.
Rogue just scoffed and removed the crocodile crack fullbottle and inserted it into the slot of his Nebulasteam Gun.
CROCODILE!
Rogue pointed his Nebulasteam Gun forward, the weapon started gathering up large amounts of purple energy and it was aimed towards the rushing wide burly bounty hunter.
Alarmed, Blazer called out to him "Boris look out!" he warned but it was too late.
FUNKY BREAK! *Woman Scream*
Rogue fired a big purple orb of energy hitting Boris square in the chest.
"OOF!" exclaimed Boris as he along with the orb was sent flying towards his comrades who lunged out of the way causing Boris to head straight to one side of the wall and upon impact…
*BOOOOOM!* Came an explosion.
"Boris!" called out Blazer in alarm as he, Embo and Locus turned to the explosion.
"Damn it!" exclaimed Locus.
When the smoke cleared, it revealed Boris sitting on the ground with his back leaning on the wall all slumped over and covered in soot. The remaining bounty hunters present felt alarmed, just when they feared the worst, Boris managed to barely raise his arm up and gave a thumbs up "Boris is okay!" he called out before passing out.
The bounty hunters sighed in relief before turning back to their target.
"So... he managed to survive my attack hmm?" said Rogue amused "Oh well… it doesn't matter… one down… and three to go…" he said.
The trio narrowed their eyes as Blazer pulled out his Machete while Embo got his Bowcaster ready and Locus holstered his current firearm and switched to his Energy Sword.
Rogue smirked behind his mask as he took out another weapon in his left hand. The weapon was a short blade with the blade resembling a bladed gun barrel with a yellow single edged blade, a black and silver barrel with a red valve in the middle of one side and a black and red sniper scope above the valve and a red trigger at the back of the valve and a black handle resembling a rifle stock with red, green and yellow pipes on the side and yellow and black strips on the butt part of the handle. This is the Steam Blade.
The trio of bounty hunters charged in weapons ready to strike.
Embo started off by firing a few shots while charging forward. Rogue managed to block the shots with his steam blade and countered by firing a few shots at Embo with his nebulasteam gun, the Kyuzo bounty hunter lowered his head with his metal hat facing the line of fire as Rogue's shots harmlessly deflected out of the way leaving Embo unharmed.
Embo continued to block off Rogue's shots as he along with Locus and Blazer continued to gain closer at their target who was slowly moving back. Embo jumped up high as Rogue open fired upwards at Embo only for his shots to hit the Kyuzo's hat again as the bounty hunter was spinning midair while upside down blocking out Rogue's gun shots.
But that left Rogue wide open as while he was distracted, Locus and Blazer did a simultaneous slash attack across Rogue's chestplate with their Energy Sword and Machete respectively causing sparks to appear in his armor.
"GAAAHH!" exclaimed Rogue staggering back as Embo landed on the ground on his feet with Locus and Blazer joining him.
"Good job Embo" said Blazer nodding in approval.
"It's no problem" replied Embo with a nod.
Rogue growled turning to the trio "Why ya little-!" he said as he turned the valve of his Steam Blade.
ICE STEAM!
He swung his blade horizontally sending an ice wave at his opponents causing them to jump back. He then turned the valve again.
ELEK STEAM!
He lunged his blade forward aimed at the still midair Embo electrocuting him taking him by surprise.
"Embo!" exclaimed Locus and Blazer as they watched Embo get sent to the ground injured with his hat landing next to him as the Kyuzo groaned before passing out.
"Heh… and that leaves two…" said Rogue smugly.
"Tch!" Locus clicked his tongue as he and Blazer charged at Rogue once again.
Locus came first and attempted to lunge his sword at the rider only for him to side step dodging the attack and striking his elbow at the armored bounty hunter's forearm causing him to drop his sword to the ground as it powered down.
Locus grunted as he swung a left hook at Rogue disarming him of his weapons and it turned into a fistfight between a Kamen Rider and Bounty Hunter.
Blazer stopped in his tracks not wanting to intervene to avoid any mistakes.
Locus started off with a right upper jab, only for Rogue to block it with his left arm, then Locus did a left jab followed by a right jab, only for Rogue to block them with his palms, then he did a left hook only for his opponent to step back. He then did a headbutt to his opponents helmeted face causing Rogue to stagger, Locus then did a spin jab to the chest with his left arm followed by a back kick to Rogue's face.
"GAH!" exclaimed Rogue staggering back. He growled before charging back at Locus and did a couple of kicks at him only to be blocked. He attempted to kick him again using his other leg but Locus grabbed it, he then grabbed Rogue by the throat and sent him to the ground pinning him.
Locus lifted up his foot ready to stomp on him but at the last second, Rogue managed to find his Steam Blade which was next to him. He quickly grabbed it and twisted the valve.
ELEK STEAM!
He sent a stream of lightning electrifying Locus causing him to scream.
"Locus!" exclaimed Blazer in alarm.
Rogue managed to jump back to his feet before doing a number of slashes at Locus causing him to stagger back.
"Heh…" smirked Rogue before activating the wrench lever of his driver.
CRACK UP FINISH!
Rogue side kicked Locus with his leg encased in purple energy sending the bounty hunter flying.
"AAAAHHHHHH!" screamed Locus as he was engulfed in an explosion upon hitting the wall.
"Locus!" exclaimed Blazer seeing his comrade get beaten. When the dust cleared, it revealed Locus sitting on the ground while leaning on the wall, unconscious but alive.
Rogue turned to the last bounty hunter standing "Next…" he said pointing his Steam Blade with a smirk behind his mask.
Blazer glared as he spun his machete and charged at Rogue and the two opponents clashed blades.
They went on for what felt like hours when it was just a couple of minutes. Blazer made another swing with his machete only for Rogue to parry it with his steam blade. The crocodile rider turned the valve again as the blade was encased in icy mist.
ICE STEAM!
He swung his blade at Blazer's machete and the moment the blades clashed, the latter's machete froze and shattered.
"Tch!" Blazer clicked his tongue before discarding the remains of his shattered machete and took out his Mossberg shotgun.
Before he could use it, Rogue swung his steam blade upwards sending it flying. Rogue then did a couple of punches and kicks at Blazer causing him to stagger back.
Blazer quickly quick-drew his Torchthrower only to get the same result with Rogue smacking it away to the ground with the swing of the blunt part of his blade. The rider then sent a left hook to Blazer's masked face followed by a right hook with his steam blade held reverse grip on said hand causing Blazer to stagger back again.
"Hmhmhm… not so tough now without your weapons and comrades hmm?" Rogue snarked with a smug look behind his mask as he jabbed Blazer to the gut knocking the air out of his lungs as he staggered back a few feet from Rogue and fell to his knees and made a big wheezing sound while clutching his gut.
"Oh… it seems I must've damaged your airbag!" mocked Rogue as Blazer looked up towards him and glared at him behind his mask causing Rogue to chuckle in amusement despite not seeing the glare.
"Well… it's been quite fun Blazer… but it seems it's time to end this…" said Rogue as he took out his Nebulasteam Gun and split his blade in two and combined it with his gun.
RIFLE MODE!
The blade and barrel part of the steam blade was now inserted in the nozzle of the nebula steam gun while the handle of the steam blade was inserted at the back of the gun making it like a buttstock. This was the combined mode of the two weapons, commonly known as the Nebulasteam Rifle.
Rogue inserted the crocodile crack fullbottle into his rifle's slot.
CROCODILE!
"Once I've gotten rid of you and your friends here… I'll go after the other two and claim back what is mine…" said Rogue turning his sights to Blazer.
"You have no idea… of who you're dealing with…" said Blazer defiantly.
"Oh, do I?" said Rogue tilting his head "Look around you" he said gesturing to the destruction around them and as well as Blazer's downed comrades with his outstretched arms "I am a force to be reckoned with! I am a Kamen Rider! My powers are second to none! And not even those chosen by the Gods can stop me!" Rogue proclaimed arrogantly.
"Is that so…?" questioned Blazer with narrowed eyes.
Rogue chuckled sinisterly as he aimed his Nebulasteam Rifle at Blazer "Goodbye… bounty hunter…" he said before pulling the trigger.
FUNKY SHOT! CROCODILE!
He fired a shot that transformed into a purple construct of crocodile jaws and headed straight for Blazer. With no time to dodge, Blazer was hit by the jaws as it sent him straight to the wall as he screamed in a fiery explosion. And from the explosion, something flew out of it and landed on the ground just in front of Rogue's feet. That something was none other than Blazer's gasmask.
Rogue chuckled as he slowly crouched down and picked up Blazer's mask "Such a shame…" said Rogue standing up and looking at the mask "You would've been such a good asset to my services…" he said.
"Oh well… it doesn't matter…" said Rogue turning around and tossing Blazer's mask over his shoulder as it landed back to the ground. "I can take care of myself all on my own anyway…" he gloated.
"With these powers… I can do anything…" he said looking at his hands "I can make others submit to my will and I can even challenge the gods themselves!" he declared arrogantly "All in all… I AM INVINCIBLE!" he declared as he reared his head back facing the heavens laughing evilly like there was no tomorrow.
"Is that so…?" said a familiar voice.
(Insert Ghost Rider Spirit of Vengeance Theme)
Rogue stopped his laughing and turned towards the smoke with wide eyes "What?!" he exclaimed in shock. Suddenly from the smoke, an orange beam of energy was sent towards Rogue sending him flying.
"GAAAH!" exclaimed Rogue as he fell rolling to the ground before stopping and went on one knee "What… what was that?!" he said in shock looking at the smoke.
From the smoke, came a silhouette of a person. When the smoke cleared, it revealed Blazer without his mask. He had a youthful appearance that of about 19 years old, he had fair skin and gray eyes, he also had a scar of a vertical slash mark on the right side of his face from the top of his eyebrow down to his cheek but his right eye was left unscathed and he also had a very bad burn scar on the left side of his face from the right side of his forehead to around his eye and his left cheek. Blazer's clothes were smoking but all in all he was left unscathed despite the powerful attack and judging by his expression, he didn't look very happy.
"I-I-IMPOSSIBLE! How were you able to survive my last attack?!" Rogue exclaimed in utter shock.
"Simple… I absorbed your attack and converted it into energy allowing me to send it back in the form of photon blasts" Blazer explained bluntly shocking Rogue.
"WHAT! YOU HAVE POWERS?!" exclaimed Rogue in disbelief "HOW?!" he questioned.
"These powers were bestowed upon me by the goddess of war…" answered Blazer earning a gasp of horror and shock from Rogue.
"N-No… it can't be…!" said Rogue starting to lose his composure taking a couple steps back "Y-You! You're… you're a Celestial Champion!?" he exclaimed in disbelief.
(Insert The Rising of the Shield Hero – RISE)
"That's right…" confirmed Blazer with a nod.
Celestial Champions, those who were chosen and given powers to by the Celestial Gods. The powers they bestow vary in different ways, they can be powers that already exist or powers requested by the champion, powers based on the champion's desires and/or ambitions, a random power given by the god if their chosen champion can't make up their mind or even an item that grants you powers bestowed upon by the gods. Once you become a Celestial Champion, you become a devoted ally to the celestial gods and help them only when needed. Blazer in particular is a War Champion, a Celestial Champion chosen by the Celestial Goddess of War, thus making him a devoted ally to the celestial war goddess.
"And now that I know how powerful you are…" said Blazer cracking his knuckles "There's no need for me to hold back any longer…" he said narrowing his eyes.
Rogue gasped "You were holding back this whole time?!" he said.
"Yes…" Blazer answered simply as he crossed his hands and orange pixels started to materialize above his hands and from those pixels, a pair of Desert Eagle Mk VII Pistols appeared in his hands.
He pointed them towards Rogue as the barrels of the pistols started to lite up an orange color while a humming sound was heard.
"Huh?!" said Rogue in confusion.
Suddenly, Blazer open fired and orange glowing bullets came whizzing towards Rogue and upon hitting him, the crocodile rider criminal fell to the ground startling him.
"What the?! What is this power?! Could this be the full strength of a celestial champion?" said Rogue standing back up.
"What's the matter Sid? Are you afraid? Afraid of a little celestial champion such as myself?" said Blazer mockingly with a small smile "I thought you're a Kamen Rider? You did say that your powers were "second to none…" maybe it was just that bloated ego of yours talking" taunted Blazer and immediately, Rogue's fear turned to agitation.
"I'll show you afraid!" he shouted infuriated as he charged in with Steam Blade in hand.
"Heh…" smirked Blazer as he continued to open fire and Rogue would stagger every time an energy bullet hit him but he kept charging forward.
Rogue swung his blade down only for them to be blocked by Blazer's pistols causing him to stop it abruptly. The both of them struggled in the weapon lock but Blazer overpowered Rogue as he pushed back his steam blade and smacked Rogue in the face with his pistols. Blazer did a couple more pistol whip strikes at Rogue before the latter attempted to strike him with a left jab only for the bounty hunter to dodge at the last second by spinning his body around counter-clockwise and at the last second, his pistol on his left hand turned to pixels and was replaced by a Sawed-off Double Barrel Shotgun mid-spin and upon finishing his spinning, his shotgun was pointed in front of Rogue's face shocking the crocodile rider.
"Aw… fu-" swore Rogue but was interrupted when…
*BLAM!* Blazer fired a powerful energy burst at Rogue's masked face point-blank causing him to get sent flying and hit the wall creating a dust cloud in the process.
When it cleared, it revealed Rogue stuck to the wall with the left side of his visor broken revealing one of his eyes. Rogue managed to pry himself out of the wall leaving an imprint "Ugh~ why you…!" he grunted in infuriated pain.
Blazer twirled his guns before holstering them. He let out a smug smirk before lifting his hand up and giving a "C'mon" gesture to Rogue.
This only infuriated him even more as he charged forward in a blind rage pulling out his Nebulasteam Gun and firing shots at Blazer. The bounty hunter just crossed his arms in defense as the shots hit him but for some reason, they weren't hurting him, instead they just bounced off of his body at every shot as if it was nothing like he was Superman but Rogue was too held up in his rage to notice.
As the rider was gaining in on Blazer, the bounty hunter managed to press a few buttons on his watch while his arms were still crossed as a number of pixels appeared above him revealing what looked like a French Arming Sword with a crimson handle grip, dark gray pommel, dark gray curved crossguard and sheathed in a black and crimson scabbard. This is Scorch Calibur, a weapon once wielded by the one of the celestial goddess of war's other champions before his passing and was passed down to Blazer.
Blazer caught it with his left hand and the moment Rogue was upon him swinging his steam blade downwards, Blazer blocked it with Scorch Calibur, using the sheathed sword's scabbard with ease.
"Wha?!" exclaimed Rogue with wide eyes.
Blazer pushed back the rider's blade before striking him on the gut with his sword's pommel knocking the air out of him, causing him to stagger back.
Rogue held his gut as he looked up to see Blazer scoff at him with a smug grin. This made the rider reach his limit "You… you…" he stuttered, his anger building up.
"Yes~? Oh, so powerful Kamen Rider?" Blazer mocked.
"GRRRR…! YOU THINK YOU CAN DEFEAT ME JUST BECAUSE YOU'RE A CELESTIAL CHAMPION?! I'M A KAMEN RIDER! I CANNOT BE BEATEN!" he shouted before activating his Sclash Driver's lever again.
CRACK UP FINISH!
"RAAAAAAAHHHHHH!" he roared as he jumped up high.
Blazer narrowed his eyes following his sights on Rogue as he unsheathed Scorch Calibur revealing the sword's dark gray double edged blade. The sword was then ignited, wreathing the blade with flames.
Rogue looked down towards Blazer who got himself into a stance "THIS IS THE END FOR YOU BOUNTY HUNTER!" he declared as his right leg was encased in purple energy and his exposed eye showing a demonic crazed look.
Blazer just remained indifferent as Scorch Calibur's flames became more intense.
"Scorching…" chanted Blazer with a stoic emotion.
"DIEEEEEEEEEEE!" shouted Rogue as he descended down executing a flying kick towards Blazer while wreathed in purple energy.
"IN~FER-NOOO!" declared Blazer at the same time as he thrusts Scorch Calibur forward with a shout unleashing a powerful orange blast of fire at the descending rider with a great sound of…
*FFFWPBOOOOM!*
The attacks clashed and either one was attempting to overpower the other, but in the end, only one overpowered the other and the one who overpowered the other was none other than Blazer as his fire blast engulfed Rogue in flames as the criminal/rider screamed in terror, thus creating an explosion as a result.
(End Soundtrack)
When the smoke cleared, Blazer saw Sid Crowe lying on the ground knocked out of his transformation and heavily injured and his clothes messed up. The Sclash Driver and Crocodile Crack Fullbottle just a couple of inches away from him.
Blazer sheathed his sword with the flames being put out upon sheathing and slowly approached the immobilized Sid and along the way, he managed to pick up his mask and put it back on as it made a silent *HSSSSSS!*.
Sid groaned as he tried to gather his bearings but couldn't move. He turned his head to the side to see the Sclash Driver near him, he struggled trying to reach out to it but another pair of hands got to it first and picked it up along with the fullbottle.
Sid looked up to see much to his horror, Blazer as the sound of his gasmask breathing was heard.
"H… h… how…?" he strained trying to speak a word.
"How did I manage to defeat you even though you're able to turn into a Kamen Rider?" Blazer questioned for him while tilting his head. Not waiting for a reply, Blazer said "Simple… you don't have what it takes to be a rider…" he said "You're a selfish… greedy… arrogant egotistical son of a bitch with an ambition that makes other people puke" he said harshly.
"N-no…! You're wrong! I-!" defied Sid only for Blazer to point his double barrel shotgun at him silencing the poor scum "You're even a coward who hides behind others and would resort to mere trickery…" said Blazer.
"Which only proves on thing…" trailed off the gasmask wearing bounty hunter holstering his shotgun on the back of his waist within his coat "You're unworthy… of the title "Kamen Rider", that's why I defeated you…" he said "Scum like you don't deserve to exist in this world or any other and it's my personal sworn duty to take care of those scum…" added Blazer but Sid didn't seem to hear that last part.
The criminal couldn't believe this… he was living a life of luxury and now it went down the drain the moment these bounty hunters showed up and ruined everything.
His thoughts were interrupted when he heard "Oh… one more thing… your old boss told me to leave you a message before I end your pathetic existence…" said Blazer, getting Sid's attention only to widen his eyes in horror upon seeing him unsheathe Scorch Calibur as the blade ignited in flames before dissipating leaving the blade glowing a red color, turning it into a 1000-degree sword.
"He says that you've been such a great asset to the Crimson Horns… but unfortunately…" trailed off Blazer delivering Don Agresta's message to Sid, looking at his sword while holding it with both hands before turning to the immobilized criminal's horrified face "You're fired…" he said before raising up his sword ready to chop him.
"No! No! No! NNNOOOOOOOOO-!"
*CHOP!*
"Ooh~! That's got to hurt…" said the voice of Nexus Lupin chuckling in amusement.
"Wonder what's gonna happen now?" he said in thought "Oh well… might as well find out next chapter" he said carefreely.
"Welp… see you all next time everyone" he said "Ciao~!"
Author's Notes:
Inspired by XP4Universe and Fir100
That's all for the new chapter. The bounty hunters took care of the security and rescued the girls and they had to deal with Sid Crowe who became Kamen Rider Rogue. He managed to take down most of them but in the end... he was no match for Blazer.
Hope you liked the action especially the fight between the bounty hunters and Kamen Rider Rogue. I did my best on making good fighting scenes but I hope it's okay. Also, I'm sure you know what happened to Sid in the end since you saw it end like that.
Now onto the introduction of my very own concept. Introducing the Celestial Champions. As what you read, they're those who're chosen by the Celestial Gods and are given powers to help and protect the multiverse and they're divided between which god bestowed their powers to them like Blazer for example who's a War Champion as it was explained. Who are the Celestial Gods? Well, you'll have to wait and find out as more info about them will come later.
There will be more Celestial Champions coming your way in the future and by a lot more… I do mean… a lot more… (Wink! Wink!) so stay tuned.
