Chapter 5 – Thieves, Mercenaries, Bounty Hunters and Assassins Part 5
(Insert Superior Defender Gundam Force OST – Bagu Bagu)
Locus slowly opened his eyes only to see the clear blue sky above him. He groaned before slowly sitting up and took notice that he was lying on the porch, he rubbed the back of his head only to realize that his helmet was off. He looked around to see the outside of Sid Crowe's home a big mess as if a battle occurred which in fact did happen.
He turned to his right to see Boris and Embo lying down next to him still unconscious, he turned to his right to see his equipment and helmet sitting next to him. His nostrils then caught the smell of something burning and Locus turned to see Blazer standing a few feet away from him wearing his complete gear including his helmet but still a bit messed up with part of his mask still cracked. He was seen currently burning something with his Torchthrower and Locus couldn't make out what he was burning due to the fact that whatever Blazer was burning was totally engulfed in flames.
"Hm…" he hummed with a raised eyebrow in confusion, when it all came back to him, he along with the others were in the middle of a fight with Sid Crowe who somehow was able to transform into a Kamen Rider and he was the last one to get knocked out before he could deal the finishing blow on Sid. Locus quickly searched around looking all over for him but to no avail.
He then turned to the only one who was last facing him "Hey Blazer!" he called out.
Blazer stopped his "torching" before turning to Locus "Oh, Locus you're up" he said.
Locus stood up and approached Blazer "What happened to Sid?" he asked.
"I took care of him" he answered simply "Plus, I managed to take the Sclash Driver from him, it's in my watch's pocket dimension" he added.
Locus nodded "I see…" he said "Where's his body?" he asked.
Blazer turned to the fire and pointed at it "It's there getting barbequed to a crisp" he said.
Locus turned to the fire and sure enough, he could make out a burning body with arms and legs but he couldn't see the head "Where's the head?" he asked.
His answer came when Blazer held up a tied up brown leather bag with something big and round inside it.
"Oh… I see…" said Locus with wide eyes.
"Don Agresta did say to specifically bring his head as proof that we killed him" said Blazer.
"I see" said Locus with a nod.
"I even took care of the other bodyguards in the area… those that were still alive though…" said Blazer.
"Were they the ones that I…?" asked Locus "Eeyep!" replied Blazer popping the "p" for emphasis.
"Of, course…" said Locus with a sigh.
"GAAAH!" exclaimed a voice and the both of them turned to see Boris sit up abruptly and he was without his helmet revealing his horrible haircut "What happened to Boris?! Where is purple crocodile man!?" he demanded looking around.
"Calm down Boris" said Locus getting Boris' attention "Sid's already disposed of" he said.
"Huh?! Wha?!" said Boris turning to them "Purple crocodile man is dead now?!" he asked.
"Yep, that's right" nodded Blazer "And I was the one who took him out" he said continuing with burning Sid's burning corpse.
"Wha? How you do that?" asked Boris.
"I assume you used your Celestial Champion powers, right?" assumed Locus.
"Eeyep!" confirmed Blazer popping the "p" for emphasis.
"Why didn't you use that earlier and be done with it?" questioned another voice and they turned to see Embo sitting up while rubbing the back of his head as he groaned.
"Well, Embo… I wanted to know how long Sid can go with that power he stole and I wanted to make him think he won before his guard was down leaving me an opening and I have to say… Sid Barely scratched the surface of using the powers of Kamen Rider Rogue" Blazer explained.
"He could've killed us" said Embo.
"But you're alive" replied Blazer.
"Still… you could've just used your powers from the start to avoid getting all of us beat up or even killed" said Locus.
"Now where's the fun in that Sam?" said Blazer smirking behind his mask while addressing Locus by his real name "And besides… I knew that it'll take more than mere Kamen Rider powers to take you lot out" he added.
"My thoughts exactly" sighed Locus with a deadpan look.
"So… what now?" Boris asked.
"Simple… we return to town and meet up with the others… we finish our business there and then head back to our client and inform him of a job well done" said Blazer as he stopped using his Torchthrower, spun it and holstered it back to its' holder on his leg.
Embo looked around before turning to Blazer "What about them?" he asked pointing towards the Battle Creek Zealots who were still dead and tied up.
"Hmm…" hummed Blazer holding the chin of his mask in thought. Then a smirk formed behind his mask.
Everyone else turned to each other and despite not seeing it, they had a feeling that Blazer had something mischievous in mind.
A few minutes later, Blazer and the gang departed and by that time, the zealots were brought back to life again and they were having trouble untying themselves due to being tied up together too tightly as they all kept squirming while trying to get out of their restraints and as usual, they were fighting with each another.
"Quit shoving ya stupid Red!" shouted one Blue Grunt squirming.
"No, you quit shoving ya dirty Blue!" argued one Red Grunt.
"Yeah! You suck!" insulted a second Red.
"No, you suck!" insulted back a second Blue.
"No, you suck!" replied the first Red.
"No, you suck!" said the first Blue.
"No, you suck!" argued a third Red.
"No, you suck!" replied a third Blue.
"No, you suck!" argued the second Red.
"No, you suck!" replied the third Blue.
Before they could continue arguing, they heard screaming coming from above and when they all looked up, they saw that it was one of the other Red zealots who's the same one that Boris sent flying earlier and was now plummeting down to the ground as he landed with a loud *THUD!* forming a large dust cloud.
When the dust cleared, it revealed the zealot lying on the ground and by some miracle, he was still alive.
"Uuuugh…" groaned the Red zealot before managing to stand back up, leaving an imprint on the ground, he looked at himself and even checked if he was okay which in fact he was "I'm alive?" he said "I'm alive!" he exclaimed "I HAVE SURVIVED THE GREAT FALL WHICH MAKES ME THE GREAT CHOSEN ONE WHO'LL LEAD THE GREAT CRUSADE IN TAKING MY BRETHREN TO THE PROMISED LAND!" he said to himself with arms raised up.
"Hey! If you're done preaching, how about helping us out ya noob!" shouted the second Blue Grunt.
The fourth Red turned to the Blue "You suck Blue!" he mocked.
"You suck!" replied the Blue.
"You suck!" argued the Red.
"You suck!" replied the Blue.
"You suck!" argued the Red.
"Hey! How about getting us out of this big rope already!" exclaimed a fifth Red getting tired of the pointless arguing.
"Okay, fine" said the fourth Red who approached his comrades and frenemies. He searched for something that he could use to cut them loose with when he found what looked like a toolbox just inches from his group "Hey! A box!" he said running towards the box.
"I didn't notice that sitting over there" commented the first Blue Grunt.
"That's because you were too busy squirming ya noob!" insulted the second Red.
"Shut up!" shouted the first Blue.
"No, you shut up!" shouted back the second Red.
While they continued their arguing, the fourth Red picked up the box and all of a sudden, a beeping sound was heard getting the rest of the zealots' attention.
"Hey, what's that sound?" asked the second Red.
"It's coming from the box" said the second Blue.
Curious, the Red who's holding the box opened it and much to all of the zealots' shock it was some device with a blinking red light and a ticking digital clock, but we all know what it is…
"IT'S A BOMB!" they exclaimed in shock and by the time they said that, the bomb made one loud beep before…
*KABOOOOOOOMMMMMM!*
It exploded creating a chain reaction blowing up the rest of Sid Crowe's home blasting the place to smithereens creating a mushroom cloud explosion.
(Insert Red vs Blue OST – Noobs Rush In by Trocadero)
From a distance, Blazer, Locus, Embo and Boris were riding on their small transports when a gust of wind blew passed them indicating the explosion.
Blazer looked to his right-side reflecting mirror and saw the mushroom cloud explosion and the bounty hunter couldn't help but smirk behind his mask.
"HA HAAAA! HOUSE GO BOOM! HAHAHAHAAAAA!" exclaimed Boris laughing in glee looking towards the explosion.
"Well… That's that…" said Locus.
"Indeed" agreed Embo with a nod.
Back at the mushroom cloud explosion, several objects came flying out of it and went flying up high into the sky. These objects were none other than the Battle Creek Zealots screaming for their lives as they flew even higher.
"Why do I have this sense of déjà vu?!" exclaimed a Red spinning around like a cartwheel.
"I think something like this always happened with those guys!" exclaimed a Blue kicking and swinging his legs everywhere.
"Who?!" questioned a second Red upside down in midair.
"I think they call themselves Team Spaceship!" guessed a second Blue.
"It's Team Rocket ya noob! But you're right! It looks like we're blasting off for the first time!" exclaimed a third Red who's the one who activated the explosive by mistake.
"You suck Red!" insulted the second Blue.
"NO! YOU SSSUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUCK!" replied the third Red as he and the rest of the screaming zealots went even higher until they all disappeared into the sky leaving a bright twinkle.
Back at the town, all the townspeople rejoiced as all the women who were taken by Sid Crowe's goons have returned. A lot of them were reunited with their families and loved ones and most of them were very tearful reunions as said families were happy to see their daughters/sisters/girlfriends/fiancés again and the same was said for the girls, even though they went through so much, they were glad to be with their loved ones again.
The townspeople then thanked LaGrange and Stranger for rescuing them and LaGrange said that it was nothing but told them that they couldn't have done it without their comrades and speaking of comrades, Blazer, Locus, Embo and Boris arrived in their vehicles with Marrok, Embo's Anooba companion running towards him as the Kyuzo bounty hunter petted him, the Anooba happy to be reunited with his master.
The townspeople cheered for the bounty hunters happy that they were the ones responsible for freeing the girls and young women.
"Oh, thank you so much good sirs, you've brought back our women and girls home safely" said the town's mayor.
"It was no problem sir" said Blazer "And you'll be happy to know that Sid Crowe will no longer be bothering all of you again" he said.
"Da! Boris and other bounty hunters break horrid criminal to dust!" boasted Boris.
"Well, we did help for the most part anyway" said Locus.
"Oh… thank goodness… now our town won't have to live in fear any longer" said the mayor with a great sigh of relief "I thank you all for your service in freeing our town!" he said with a bow of gratitude.
"Oh, but zer's no need for you to bow monsieur" said LaGrange waving his hands.
"Yeah, we were just here fer a job and we were just at the right place at the right time" said Stranger.
"Still! We must thank you somehow!" said the mayor as he turned to the townspeople "Everyone! This calls for celebration! Not only for the return of our taken but as well as the freedom of our town! In honor of these brave men!" he said with everyone cheering in response.
"Well… looks like things have gotten interesting" commented Blazer with a smirk.
"What about our job?" questioned Locus.
"Ohohoho~, come now mon amie, it is a time for celebration! It vouldn't hurt to enjoy ze leatel things in life once in a while" said LaGrange.
"Yeah Locus, it's not like that this happens all the time" said Blazer "Besides, Agresta didn't give us any specific deadline for "when" we can deliver his request" he said.
"He has a point Locus, let's rest up a bit before heading out" said Embo.
"I'm up fer that" agreed Stranger "Workin up a job always can be tirin and I sure could go fer a bottle a booze right now" he said.
"Da! Boris agrees and Boris also worked up an appetite and I'd like some food please" said Boris also agreeing.
Locus sighed "Oh, alright" he said giving in "And you guys have a point, I really could use the rest before finishing the job" he said.
And with that, the town celebrated their freedom from Sid Crowe's tyranny and as well as the return of their taken girls and they threw a party on behalf of the Bounty Hunters and it practically lasted overnight.
The next day, the bounty hunters got themselves ready to depart with them getting onto their vehicles and of course Stranger rode LaGrange's car and surprisingly, the townspeople were seeing them off including some of the freed girls.
"Welp… looks like this is it then…" said Blazer starting up Flame Comet.
"Da! Boris had fun but it's time Boris leave to finish job" said Boris and everyone else nodded in agreement.
"We can't thank all of you enough for what you've done for this town good sirs" said the mayor.
"Think nothing of it" said Locus "We're just glad that your town is free and that the young girls were returned safely" he said with a nod.
"Um… mister Blazer…" said the same girl that Blazer saved from the man who was about to defile her, now properly dressed as Blazer turned to her and it seemed that she was fidgeting bashfully "Hmm? What is it?" he asked gently.
The young teenage girl took a deep breath before bowing in front of Blazer "Th-th-thank you so much for saving me! I really appreciate it!" she exclaimed in gratitude.
(Insert Ghost Rider 2007 – Ghost Riders in the Sky by Spiderbait)
Blazer smiled behind his mask as he gently patted her on the top of her head making her blush "You're welcome… I'm just glad that you're okay…" he said kindly making the girl smile as she continued to blush.
The bounty hunters looked on slightly amused, one of the things they knew about Blazer is that he can be a bit of a softy when it comes to girls and young women, especially kids.
After saying some final goodbyes, the bounty hunters departed the town with the townsfolk waving goodbye.
The bounty hunters were aligned with one another. Blazer was in the middle, Locus was on his right, Embo was on his left, Boris on the far left and LaGrange and the Stranger was on the far right.
They rode off leaving trails of dust in their wake.
When they were far enough from the town, it allowed them to activate a certain function in their vehicles.
"Alright everyone, synch your Warp Portal Rays to these assigned coordinates" said Blazer relaying some coordinates to the others as they nodded and typed in said coordinates to their desired destination.
"Next up… Crimson Horns HQ" said Blazer as their vehicles fired a purple laser and all five combined to form a large purple portal that appeared in front of them and one by one, the bounty hunters entered the portal.
And with the last one entering, the portal disappeared without a trace.
(End Soundtrack)
From a distance, a certain infamous phantom thief was watching.
"My, my… that was quite the adventure don't you say?" said Nexus Lupin turning to the readers revealing that he was holding an umbrella protecting himself from the scorching heat of the sun.
"Blazer and his gathered team put up quite the show, didn't they? And Blazer was able to go toe to toe with a Kamen Rider but compared to others… well, Sid was just a mere pretender who thinks he could be one I must say…" chuckled Nexus in amusement.
He then took notice of the readers about to leave "Oh, no, no, no! Don't leave just yet" he told the readers stopping them "There's still more" he told them.
"You've already been introduced to thieves, mercenaries and bounty hunters… so how about I give you an introduction… to assassins…" he said before snapped his fingers and a bright light engulfed the whole area.
(Insert Totally Spies OST – Gangsters Anthem)
Somewhere in the multiverse, we open to what looks like a large factory.
Inside were automated machines working on what looks like clothes composed of jackets and fur coats and they looked so detailed and form fitting that there wasn't any trace of any stitches in them.
Occupying the place were what looked like several men dressed in brown and purple striped sleeveless muscle shirts, brown pants with a studded belt and buckle, brown combat boots, a brown studded armband on their right upper arms, a brown studded wristband on their left wrists and a brown mask covering half of their faces leaving their lower faces exposed and they were armed with rifles. If you looked closely, they resembled more on the lines of henchmen.
Some of them were patrolling the area while some were guarding the machines making the coats.
Inside an office, sitting on a desk was a woman in her 40s, she has gray short hair which flares on the sides, light skin, skinny build, an hourglass frame, a somewhat big flattish nose, light green eyes and she also wore lipstick on her lips. She's currently clad in a dark green turtleneck sleeveless dress, a pair of yellow bead earrings, a pair of dark green high-heeled shoes and a red bracelet on her left wrist. This is Helga Von Guggen, a rogue fashion designer and once an enemy of Alex, Sam and Clover, three teenage agents from a spy organization called WOOHP. She was imprisoned in WOOHP but by some strange anomaly, she escaped and ended up somewhere in the vast Multiverse and is now free to do whatever she wants.
She's currently working on a computer on her desk when the sound of knocking was heard from the door to her office causing her to look away from her computer "Yes, you may enter" she said.
Entering the door was a man with long brown gray hair with a bald spot at the top part of his head, a mustache and beard, light skin, muscular build and green eyes. He's clad in the same outfit as the other henchmen but without a mask and instead of upper arm bands, he had one yellow arm band with a piece of fluff on it worn on his right upper arm and a sharp tooth necklace around his neck. This is Trode, Helga's bodyguard and just like her, he also escaped from WOOHP and ended up in the same circumstances as her.
"Ah… Trode, what's the current status on our merchandise?" Helga asked her bodyguard.
"We are just about down to about a hundred more coats to go before the shipment tomorrow" said Trode.
Helga grinned "Excellent, once these new coats hit the stores, my business will sky rocket and I'll be at the top of the fashion world once again… well this world at least" said Helga.
"By the way, one of our subjects was making a ruckus downstairs and she attempted to escape but don't worry, we restrained her" said Trode.
Helga frowned "Ugh… these animals… perhaps we should include her in tomorrow's shipment…" she thought out loud "Inform the boys downstairs to take her upstairs to be processed into one of our merchandises" she told Trode.
Trode nodded as he proceeded to the door and left. Helga returned to her computer as she smirked "I have to say… I have to thank you for this great opportunity to rise back to the top… Don Agresta…" she said. After escaping WOOHP and ending up in places unknown, she along with Trode were found by the Crimson Horns and their leader offered them membership so that they can start over from scratch and they accepted and now she runs a new clothing business. But unfortunately, she was doing something behind the Crimson Horns' back. What was she doing? Well… let's find out.
(Insert Totally Spies OST – Bad Cong Theme)
In the basement level of the factory, we see a dark hall with only a few lights lighting the place. Down the path you could hear the sounds of cries of anger, sadness and most of all the sound of begging. Because down the halls were three corridors, these three corridors lead to similar halls with a number of containment cells in them, each hall was guarded by about eight henchmen.
What were in these cells? Well… inside each of these cells were anthropomorphic animals mostly composed of beastkin and they were mostly mammals ranging from predators to prey.
What were these beastkin doing here? Well, it's simple, they were taken from their homes and were brought here to become part of Helga's new clothes lineup.
They were yelling out curses and threats of killing their kidnappers and even swearing revenge on the one responsible for turning some of their friends into clothes.
In one of the cells in the first holding block was a female anthropomorphic wolf alone and chained up. She had a figure that of a young attractive young woman and she had gray fur, humanoid hands with five fingers, a gray and light gray tipped wolf tail, wolf feet, a head of a wolf with long gray hair and gray eyes. She was dressed in rags and bound to some chains by her arms and she also had a shock collar around her neck but she mostly looked beaten up and unable to get up. She was the same beastkin who attempted to escape but failed and she paid the price for it.
The female wolf looked up to see her cell open up and one of Helga's henchman entered.
"Hey there wolf girl" greeted the goon with a smug smile.
The wolf glared in return "And what do you want huh?" she said.
"Heh… well today's your lucky day" said the goon as he grabbed the wolf beastkin by the top of her hair and pulled her close to his face "The boss said that she's chosen you to become part of tomorrow's shipment" he said with a sick grin.
The wolf girl in return growled and barked at him with a threatening bite in which the goon managed to get back from, startling him while letting her go "Like hell I'll get turned into a piece of clothing you bastard!" she shouted defiantly.
The goon growled and took out a remote and pressed the button activating the shock collar causing the wolf girl to scream in intense pain.
"Animals like you should know your place!" said the goon releasing the button deactivating shock collar causing the female wolf girl to pant in exhaustion from the pain but she was met with the goon kicking her on her gut "You're nothing but vermin! Savage beings who should follow the natural order of things!" said the goon zealously "All of you are meant to be our sustenance! Our clothing! And most of all our pets! Made to do our bidding!" he said as he laughed like a maniac as he continued to beat up the poor wolf girl.
"Have I ever told you how it vexes me so whenever I see scum like you beat up innocent people… despite their race?" asked a sudden dark voice behind the goon causing him to suddenly stop his beating.
"Huh?!" said the goon confused, only to be silenced when a pair of arms grabbed his head from behind and quickly twisted it in an angle with a sound of *CRACK!* breaking his neck in the process, instantly killing him as the lifeless goon fell to the ground with a *THUD!*.
As the wolf girl looked on in shock at the dead goon falling sideways, the killer behind the goon revealed themselves.
It was a young man in his early 20s with short messy dirty blonde hair, pale skin, slim build and black eyes. He's clad in an open black snakeskin trench coat over a dark purple t-shirt, a pair of black ripped pants with a belt and bronze buckle in the shape of a slithering snake, a pair of black combat boots with the end of the pants tucked into the boots, a pair of black fingerless gloves, a snake tooth necklace around his neck, a pair of black aviator sunglasses, a custom made Colt M1911A1 Pistol holstered on his right leg and strapped to his back was a Scimitar sword in a black sheath and next to it was a black Jo Staff. This is Rattle, leader of Venom Squad, a trio of assassins affiliated with the Shadow Fist Guild.
The wolf girl stared in awe, she didn't hear him enter her cell, let alone sense him. But she was too distracted due to getting beaten up after all.
Rattle stared at the wolf girl with an unreadable expression before slowly unsheathing his scimitar much to her alarm.
She couldn't move… she didn't have the energy left to do so due to her constant beatings and thinking that she was gonna die, she closed her eyes the moment Rattle raised up his sword with both hands accepting her fate.
The assassin swung his blade down.
*SLASH!* *SLASH!*
The sound of clattering chains were heard as the wolf girl opened her eyes in shock and confusion. She was still alive and her chains were removed and the shock collar was also removed from her neck and was now lying on the floor in half as she gently rubbed her freed wrists. She turned her sights to the young man who sheathed his scimitar "Who… who are you?" she asked.
"I'm the one busting you and the other beastkin out" he simply replied while offering her a hand in which she accepted as she slowly stood up.
She started to wobble a bit but Rattle managed to catch her in time before she fell "Thanks…" she said as Rattle put one of her arms around his shoulder.
"What's your name?" Rattle asked.
"It's… Rana" said the wolf girl now identified as Rana.
"Rana…" repeated Rattle "That's a nice name" he said "Come on" he said as he guided her outside her cell.
When they came outside, Rana was shocked to see the other guards on the ground dead and they had what looked like poison darts on their necks.
"I used my silenced pistol to kill them and they didn't even notice me coming" said Rattle as if reading her mind surprising her.
"Alright… let's get all of you free…" he said before he slid his left wrist revealing a purple colored advanced wrist watch.
"Scourge, Sable are you in position?" he asked speaking through his watch which also acted as a communicator.
The sound of laughter was heard through his communicator before a voice followed "Ready when you are boss! I just finished taking care of the boys in here, so give the word so we can cause chaos!" said a voice in sadistic glee "I as well Rattle, I've taken care of my share of ruffians here in my position as well and am awaiting your command" said another voice, one with a British accent and calm and stern tone.
Rattle hummed "Alright you two, on three" he said as he prepared to press a button on his watch while Rana watched in wonder.
"One…"
"Two…"
"Three!"
*BZZZZZZ!* and with a push of a button, all the cell doors opened, freeing all the beastkin much to their joy and relief as they cheered.
"We're free!"
"Finally, we can get out of this wretched place!"
Amongst the cheers, a young voice called out "Rana!" getting said wolf girl and as well as Rattle's attention. They turned to see that it was another female wolf beastkin also dressed in rags approaching them, this one a couple of years younger than Rana and a couple of inches shorter than her, she also had the same gray fur as her, humanoid hands with five fingers, gray and light gray tipped wolf tail, wolf feet, a wolf head with short gray hair and blue eyes.
Rana widened her eyes recognizing her "Lara…" she said as she approached the younger wolf girl as the two engulfed each other in a loving embrace as tears trailed down their eyes while their wolf tails wagged.
Rattle approached the two wolf girls after giving them a few moments "You know her?" he asked as the two wolf girls turned to the assassin.
"She's my sister" said Rana "They were about to take her away and turn her into one of those horrid clothing when I stopped them and that led to my current predicament" she explained.
Rattle nodded "I see" he said with an indifferent tone.
"Rana… wh-who's that?" asked Lara a bit nervous.
Rana turned to her sister "There's no need to fear Lara, he's the one that saved me from those goons and freed us" she told her.
Lara nodded as she turned to Rattle "Thank you for freeing us" she told the assassin.
"Don't thank me yet, I still have to get all of you out of here" he said as he pressed another button on his watch and suddenly, a purple portal appeared, surprising the beastkin "This portal will take all of you back to your world" he told them surprising everyone "Go now… while you still have time" he told them "There's a big chance that this breakout didn't go unnoticed, so you better go now" he said.
And as if on cue, an alarm was heard, alerting the guards.
The beastkin were silent before someone amongst the crowed said "Fine by me! I want to get out of this wretched place anyway!" and others agreed with the voice.
"Yeah! Let's get out of here!"
"Alright, we can go home!"
"Let's move it before more guards show up!"
And with that, the beastkin entered the portal that lead to their freedom.
Rattle turned around when "Wait…" said the voice of Rana as Rattle glanced at the wolf girl who's being supported by her sister "There are others in two other areas, they should-" she said but Rattle stopped her.
"Already taken care of" he said "If you remember earlier, I was talking with my team and not only we freed the beastkin in here but as well as the others in the other areas, so they should be heading back to your world as well" he said.
Rana nodded and she smiled "Thank you…" she said as she and her sister proceeded to the portal.
Rattle continued to watch the wolf sisters leave and after entering the portal, the assassin turned back, staring at the path that led to the entrance of the hall as the sound of several footsteps were being heard.
Moments after the beastkin were freed…
Meanwhile in a security room, a goon was sitting on a chair in front of a control panel with his legs placed on said panel and instead of watching the monitors, he was playing the game Temple Run on his tablet.
He was on a roll, when he looked up at the screens and saw that all the beastkin were released from their cells.
"AAAAHHHHHHH!" he screamed falling backwards, taking his chair along with him.
He then quickly stood up and activated the alarm system.
The sound of the alarm alerted every goon in the factory including Trode and Helga who were overseeing some of the processing.
"What's going on?!" said Helga in confusion.
Trode took out a walkie talkie and activated it "Security! What's going on?!" he demanded.
"It's the beastkin sir! They've all been released from their cells!" security said alarming them but mostly Helga.
"WHAT?!" she exclaimed grabbing the walkie talkie "What do you mean released from their cells?!" she demanded angrily.
"I-It's like I said! All the beastkin were released and it looks like..." trailed off security before gasping in shock "They're all escaping through a portal!" he told her shocking the evil fashionista "A PORTAL?! HOW DID- UGH! NEVERMIND!" she said tossing the walkie talkie back to Trode "What are all of you idiots standing around for?! Get to the holding blocks and stop them before they all escape!" she shouted towards her goons.
"Yes ma'am!" said the goons as they ran towards the holding blocks.
"Trode… go with them" said Helga.
"Right" nodded Trode as he followed the men.
Helga then went to her office "Whoever dares interfere with my business… is asking for a death wish" she said in anger.
Back at Holding Block A, a number of 2 dozen goons ran towards the cells and when they arrived, all they saw were the dead guards on the floor and Rattle standing in front of them with a blank expression behind his sunglasses and the portal behind him.
"You! Where are the beastkin!" demanded one of the goons.
"The beastkin you say?" said Rattle with a raised eyebrow in fake confusion before glancing back at the portal which disappeared without a trace. He turned back to the goons "Sorry, but you just missed them… they're all gone" he said with a smug grin shocking the guards.
"Where are they!" demanded the same guard pointing his rifle at Rattle who was unfazed.
"Somewhere where you or your boss won't ever find them" he said cryptically angering them.
"You bastard! Surround him!" said the lead goon as he and his men surrounded the assassin.
"Oh? You're gonna kill me hmm?" said Rattle with a raised eyebrow.
"Well, since you're the one who helped them escaped, it's only fitting you take their place in getting beaten up" said the guard with a sick sadistic grin and the guards chuckled showing the same sick grin on their faces.
Rattle frowned at that "Those look on your faces…" he said trailing off "It vexes me…" he said making the guards chuckle in amusement.
"So? What are you gonna do about it?" questioned the lead guard in a mocking tone.
Rattle scoffed as he took out something from his left pocket. It looked like a purple box containing cards with a small opening at the right side of the front that allows the user to slide out one card with ease. The front also had a gold emblem of a cobra at the center and four slanted silver hook emblems on each corner of the cobra. This is the Ouja Advent Deck.
The guards looked at the item in confusion "What is that thing?" asked a guard.
Rattle gave a dark smirk and said "Your… doom…" he said.
Meanwhile at the same time in Holding Block B, another group of 2 dozen of Helga's goons arrived at the scene and they were shocked at what they saw at the sight.
The goons guarding the block were lying on the floor dead but they were killed in a very gruesome way such as having their arms amputated, getting stabbed or slashed several times in the stomach, chest, neck and even the legs and some of them had their necks slit. And of course, the beastkin were nowhere to be seen.
"Hello~ boys~!" greeted a sadistic crazed voice "If you're wondering… you're too late, the beastkin are gone now" said the voice.
The goons turned to see someone leaning on the wall next to one of the cells.
It was a young man in his early 20s about a couple of years younger than Rattle. He had short spiky black hair, fair skin, slim build and red eyes. He's clad in a black muscle shirt under an open crimson zipper leather jacket, a pair of black camo cargo pants with a belt, a pair of black combat boots, a spider pendant around his neck, a MAC M-10 Machine Pistol holstered on his right leg and a red fedora hat worn on his head. This is Scourge, second member of the Venom Squad and the trio's resident psycho killer.
He was currently leaning on the wall casually with his right leg bent and foot resting on the wall while held on his right hand was a Two-Handed Latin Style Machete which he had shouldered while held on his other hand which hung freely was a Bowie Knife, both weapons were stained with blood. He also had a playful sadistic grin on his face while his fedora shadowed his eyes.
The goons somehow got wary of Scourge as they pointed their rifles at him "Y-y-you! Did you do this?!" demanded the lead goon.
Scourge lifted up his had showing his crazed looking smile scaring them as he walked to the side "Oh yes~, they were so much fun to play with… they screamed so much that it was amazing!" he said spreading his arms out in glee as he laughed.
"Y-y-you bastard!" shouted the lead goon pointing his rifle at Scourge followed by the others "You're gonna pay for that!" he threatened shaking in fear.
"Oh~?" said Scourge amused spinning his blades around "It seems that you're scared" he taunted infuriating the lead goon.
"Shut up!" spat the goon "You're outnumbered and there's no chance of you killing all of us!" he said.
"Oh really~?" challenged Scourge with narrowed eyes and a wide sadistic grin before he stopped spinning his blades and sheathed them both on the left side of his belt in a pair of leather scabbards. He then took out a device from inside his jacket.
Said device was black with slots for inserting bottles on the right side with a pattern of red black stripes, silver pipes on the very bottom, a silver wheel-like part on the left side next to the slots with a silver pipe on the wheel-like part's left and below it are silver gears on the right, silver pipes on the middle and at the left is a pattern of red and black with a white sigil of a zigzag shaped S in between a pair of half gears and at the very left is a black crank with a red handle. This was the Build Driver.
The henchmen saw the device as Scourge strapped it to his waist as a yellow belt materialized and wrapped around his waist while giving the goons a crazed smile scaring them to no end "Then I guess this means I'll have to get serious then…" he said in a scary tone while still wearing his grin.
Also, at the same time in Holding Block C, another 2 dozen goons ran to the area in an attempt to stop the escaping prisoners.
When they arrived, they found no trace of the beastkin but they found some of their own lying on the ground dead. Most of them had slash marks and others had stab wounds on them.
"Well… it seems you've all arrived…" said a British accented voice.
The goons looked on to see someone standing in the middle of the area with his back turned to them. The individual turned around and revealed himself to be a young man who had a permanent frown on his face. For some reason there was this air of nobility and a bit of arrogance about him.
"Hmph... took your swell time to get here" said the young man with a calm yet arrogant stern tone.
The young man was in his mid 20s about a couple years older than Rattle. He had slicked back short dark brown hair, fair skin, slim build and bluish green eyes. He was clad in a lavish bespoke suit composed of a white button up shirt under a dark gray vest, dark gray blazer jacket, gray pants, black shoes, a purple ascot with intricate designs around his neck, a silver ring with a signet of a scorpion worn on his left ring finger and a black opera cape with silver chain. This is Sable, third and oldest member of Venom Squad and the team's swordsman.
He currently had a Renaissance Style Rapier with a uniquely designed cup hilt which was shaped like a scorpion held on his right hand as he continued to stare at the goons.
"You! Tell us where the prisoners are!" demanded the lead goon.
"Hmph... I have no reason to tell you ruffians anything" scoffed Sable with narrowed eyes "And besides... it's not worth my time... considering that you lot are beneath me..." he said in stern arrogance.
The lead goon and his men growled at that "Why you!" said the former as he and his men pointed their rifles at them "You're dead!" he said.
Sable just scoffed at that "Unfortunately…" he said sheathing his rapier on a black scabbard to his left hip "All of you won't even take even a single step further, let alone even touch me..." he said before unsheathing what looked like another sword which was sheathed next to his rapier.
The sword in question technical looking and was styled similarly to a mid-length katana with a straight blade. The blade in question being black with the back part being white with orange lined designs, a purple and black hilt with an orange spot at the top part and an orange trigger. This was the Sasword Yaiver.
"For all of you shall fall by my hand..." declared Sable.
And so… a simultaneous transformation sequence began…
Back with Rattle, he thrusted his Ouja Deck forward as a loud electric humming sound was heard and purple electricity emitted from the deck and travelled all the way to his waist as a metallic belt materialized. The belt was silver with circular-like parts in the corners and for a buckle, it was a holder that could fit the deck. This was the V-Buckle.
With Scourge, he pulled out two things from his pockets. Held in his left hand was some black and red module device shaped like a spider with black webs at the top sides, this is the Killbus Spider Module Adaptor and held on his right hand is a small black and red bottle with the top and bottom being red with a red cap and a red center in the shape of a spider, this is the Killbus Spider Fullbottle.
Scourge gave the fullbottle a few shakes before twisting the cap, opening it and inserted it into the killbus spider module as an emblem of a red spider lit up at the center before disappearing. He then folded the legs on the sides upwards and inserted the module into the slot of the Build Driver.
KILLBUS SPIDER!
Hearing that announcement alarmed the goons making Scourge grin sadistically as background music reminiscent of a combination of a bass guitar, released steam and some rhythmic clinking was being played from the belt.
With Sable, he held out the Sasword Yaiver backhanded with his left hand, the blade pointed downwards and facing him before pulling the trigger with his pinkie finger.
STANDBY!
Announced the sword while making a trilling sound when all of a sudden, the floor near Sable burst open creating a small hole startling the goons as something crawled out of the hole.
It revealed to be a mechanical looking scorpion with a silver and black body, three green circles on top of the head and a purple and orange stinger with a black tip. This was Sable's partner the Sasword Zecter.
"What the?!" exclaimed the lead goon in shock upon seeing the robotic scorpion.
The Sasword Zecter crawled towards Sable and jumped towards him, allowing the swordsman to catch him with his free hand.
"Let's do this my lord!" spoke the Sasword Zecter surprising the goons upon hearing the mechanical scorpion talk.
"Indeed Scorpius... let's..." agreed Sable referring the Zecter by the name he gave it while holding it up.
Scourge began to turn the crank of his driver as a rhythmic clanking sound was heard while cranking his driver. Red pipes came out of the driver and created giant spiderweb shaped pipes in front and behind him as red liquid filled the pipes.
Rattle lowered his deck to his left hip and held up his right arm upwards in a ready stance.
ARE YOU READY?
The Build Driver announced as all three members yelled out…
"Henshin!" said Rattle doing a clawing motion in front of his face as he slid his deck onto the V-Buckle as spinning reflections of his rider form gathered around him until they merged into him causing a strong gust of wind sending the goons backwards.
"Hen-shin!" said Scourge excitedly as the spiderweb pipes converged into him and spun around distorting his appearance.
SPIDER~! SPIDER~! KILLBUS SPIDER~!
The driver announced as his appearance cleared and some red spider legs appeared behind his back and merged into him changing to his rider form causing a gust of wind to emit from him making the goons stagger.
"Henshin..." said Sable as he attached the Sasword Zecter into the Sasword Yaiver.
HENSHIN!
Sable switched the hold of his weapon to his right hand before armor materialized out of hexagons travelling from his right arm all the way to the rest of his body completing his transformation.
(Insert Ghost Rider Spirit of Vengeance Theme Song)
Rattle's rider form consisted of a black bodysuit with purple and silver torso armor with gold accents and silver armor folding over his purple shoulder armor, purple bracers and black gloves with purple armor plates at the top of the palms and black finger armor at the top, purple boots with silver knee armor, a purple and gold accented helmet with purple faceplate and themed after a cobra's hood and gripped on his left hand was a cobra headed tipped purple cane known as the Venovisor. Rattle had become… Kamen Rider Ouja.
Scourge's rider form consisted of a black bodysuit with red and black armor themed after a spider which composed of a red and black chestplate resembling a spider with two legs on either side, red and black shoulder armor resembling the spider's other two legs with red spiderwebs under them, red and black spotted armor on the upper arms, black and red armored bracers with a pointed spike pointed forward on top of the each bracer, black gloves with red armor plates at the top of the palms and fingers, red armor resembling the remaining spider legs on either side of his hips on the back and front, red and black spotted thigh armor, red armored boots with black spots at the top and a red and black helmet with a red chin armor, the top of the helmet resembling a spider with the two front legs hugging the sides of his face with the top part of the legs facing upwards like antennas and red eye visors resembling spiderwebs. Scourge had become… Kamen Rider Killbus.
Sable's rider form consisted of a black bodysuit with silver, purple and reddish brown armor composed of reddish brown and silver chestplate with an orange circular core that contained some kind of liquid at the right pectoral area, purple pointed shoulder armor with two dark gray and silver canisters containing the same orange liquid one attached in between one shoulder armor each, reddish brown upper arm armor, silver bracers with reddish brown forearm gauntlets on top, silver wrist cuffs, black gloves with purple spots on the side of the palms and black and silver armor on top of the gloves, a silver belt with a buckle bearing the name 'ZECT' on it, silver thigh armor, knee armor, greaves and black and silver armored boots, a purple sling resebling a scorpion tail around his left thigh with a purple holder depicting it to hold his Sasword Yaiver, a purple, silver and reddish brown helmet with a scorpion tail rising from the top, silver mandible-like pieces on both sides, green lined cybernetic visor and orange pentagon-like patch located at the forehead area and finally connected to the orange core and canisters on his chest and shoulders were orange tube-like coils, travelling around his chestplate and arms until they are connected to the back of his helmet and the top of his gauntlets respectively. All in all, it resembled some kind of hazmut suit. Sable had become... Kamen Rider Sasword: Masked Form.
Seeing these three individual riders, scared the hell out of the goons.
Ouja twisted his neck around making a few cracks "Aah~!" sighed Ouja as he spun his Venovisor before turning to his opponents "Let's do this…" he said getting into a stance.
Killbus began to chuckle evilly as he stared at the terrified goons "Now…" he said lifting up his arms in a welcoming gesture "Shall we begin the party?" he said.
Sasword calmly did a few practice swings with his Sasword Yaiver before pointing it forward "En Garde..." he said.
And so… a simultaneous battle between Helga Von Guggen's goons and the Venom Squad Kamen Riders began.
(End Soundtrack)
Back at the entrance of the corridors that led to the holding Blocks. Trode was with a couple squads of goons waiting on standby. He sent the three groups a few minutes ago and so far, nobody was reporting back.
"A group, B group, C group report! What's going on over there?!" demanded Trode through his walkie talkie but so far, he was only receiving static "Hello! Anyone! Someone tell me what's going on over there?!" he demanded. He then got a response.
"Sir! This is A group! The prisoners have escaped! But the culprit behind their escape's still here!" reported a goon.
"What?! How come you haven't apprehended them yet?" demanded Trode angrily with a frown.
"Sir! The culprit is…" trailed of the voice of the goon but then stopped as Trode heard the sound of a horrified shout "No! Not the face! Not the face! Not the-!" but then the connection was cut off turning back to static.
Trode growled "You men! Go check on A group! See what the fuss is all about!" he told a squad of goons.
But before they could do anything, they heard a loud *THUD!* coming from the entrance of the corridor that led to Holding Block C and they saw one of the men from C group stuck to the wall as if he was thrown by something big much to their shock.
The poor goon fell to the ground leaving an imprint to the wall as he groaned.
"Hey! What's going on?!" Trode called out to the goon.
The goon lifted himself up a bit rubbing his head with a groan before seeing something to his left. He immediately made a horrified expression before quickly standing up and ran towards Trode and the others when all of a sudden, orange tentacle-like coils wrapped around him grabbing the goon restraining him in place shocking Trode and the others.
(Insert Ghost Rider Spirit of Vengeance – Bring Back Ghost Rider)
The coils lifted the goon up before they pulled him away back to the corner with a scream before it was silenced with the sound of a *STAB!*. All was silent before coming out of the corner was Sasword with Sasword Yaiver in hand as he slowly approached them.
The sight of him intimidated the group including Trode "Who… who are you?" questioned Helga's bodyguard.
Suddenly, the sound of screaming was heard and Trode and the others turned to the corridor that led to Holding Block B and they saw one of the goons from B group running towards them looking terrified beyond hell as he had a bloody nose on him.
"Run! Run for your lives!" he shouted in hysteria getting them confused.
READY GO~!
Suddenly, white thick spiderweb silk came flying towards him as it wrapped around him trapping him in place "NO!" exclaimed the goon in shock and horror as he fell to the ground.
"What the?!" exclaimed Trode in shock.
The goon looked behind him as he saw much to his horror four red giant metallic razor-sharp spider legs preparing to lunge at him.
KILLBUS SPIDER~ FINISH!
"NNNOOOOOOO-!"
The spider legs lunged at him as he was engulfed in an explosion shocking Trode and the others.
When the explosion cleared, the goon was nowhere to be seen but it revealed Killbus slowly walking towards them with a dark sadistic chuckle and it left chills down their spines.
Then they heard the sound of running coming from the corridor that led to Holding Block A in which the alarming reply came from one of the goons. Coming out of the corner was another goon who tripped and fell on the floor. He turned back behind him and made a terrified yelp as he attempted to crawl away only for something to grab him by his feet and drag him back to the corner as he screamed disappearing from sight.
Trode and his men saw on the walls, the shadow of the goon getting dragged until whatever dragged him stopped. The goon's shadow looked up and much to the goon's horror and Trode and the others' shock, they saw another shadow of what looked like a giant cobra appear on the walls looming over the goon. It hissed at the goon before opening its' mouth. The goon begged for mercy only to scream in horror as the serpent's shadow lunged at him and chomped on him as it lifted the goon up and proceeded to gobble him up whole until the goon was devoured with a *GULP!* as it hissed in satisfaction.
Trode and his goons looked on in horror as the snake's shadow disappeared, only for another shadow to appear on the walls. The shadow moved forward as footsteps were heard. Then from the corner, came none other than Ouja as he slowly approached the group.
Trode and his men looked at all three sides in fear and uneasiness upon seeing these three armored nightmares.
"Oh~" said Killbus as he, Ouja and Horobi stopped in their tracks as they stood at their respective entrances "It seems that we found ourselves a crowd, gentlemen" he said in amusement.
"It seems so Killbus…" said Sasword observing the crowd in front of them with a frown behind his helmet.
"Heh… it seems our job has gotten easy" said Ouja raising up his Venovisor and pointing it straight at Trode "Our target's bodyguard is right in front of us" he said.
"Well then... let's just get on with it and eliminate the rest of the vermin so that we can get information on our target's location" said Sasword alarming Trode.
"What are you idiots standing around here for?! Kill those bastards!" he commanded and the henchmen squads nodded and split into three groups as they charged towards each individual rider.
(Insert The Covenant Soundtrack Title 1 – More Human Than Human)
"Hmph… how vexing…" scoffed Ouja as he lifted the top part of his staff revealing a card slot. He slid out a card from his deck and inserted it on his visor's card slot before closing it.
SWORD VENT!
Announced the visor and from out of nowhere, a weapon appeared in which Ouja caught with ease. It had a yellow horn shaped blade resembling a cobra's snake tail with a black handle and a purple handle guard. This was the Veno Saber.
Ouja charged towards the group of goons on his side as he swung his sword slashing past each goon at every vital part possible, causing each goon to drop dead. He turned to the others who're still alive and ran his hand through his sword before charging at them.
With Killbus, he just laughed in amusement as the goons on his side charged at him.
"How predictable!" he mused with a laugh as his driver materialized a weapon and grabbed it. It was a sword that resembled a drill with a silver color scheme with yellow pointed horn-like pieces and a black handle with a yellow trigger and a meter on it. This is the Drill Crusher.
"Come on!" said Killbus eagerly as he charged at the goons and swung his Drill Crusher at them while it made drilling noises, striking each and every one of them, injuring them very badly. He then stabbed his weapon at an incoming goon in the gut, stopping him in his tracks as the goon grunted in pain.
Killbus grinned behind his mask as he pulled the trigger activating the drill slowly impaling the poor goon causing him to scream "Hahaha! Music to my ears~" said Killbus sadistically as the drill went through the gut and out of the back. Killbus then removed the Drill Crusher causing the goon to grunt as blood leaked through his mouth and collapsed.
The other goons looked on in horror of what happened to their fellow goon while Killbus turned to them with his bloody weapon lifted up "Who's~ ne~xt?" he sing-songed.
One of the goons got angry and charged at Killbus "You monster!" he shouted charging at him. Killbus just laughed in amusement "Wasn't the first time I was called that" he said as he charged forward with weapon in hand.
With Sasword, he scoffed as the goons on his side charged at him and open fired with their rifles while Horobi just casually dodged "Impudent fools…" he mocked as his coils detached from some of his armor and allowed them to swing around like a makeshift whips, striking at any goon unfortunate enough to end up getting hit by the orange tube-like whips.
After ceasing his tube coils' attacks and returning to his armor, Sasword decided to finish this quickly as he raised up his Sasword Yaiver and pushed the tail of the Sasword Zecter down to the port on his weapon causing a humming sound which turned into beeping while purple electricity travelled from his sword through his chest armor as the armor on his arms, chest and front of his helmet helmet loosened while releasing a *HISS!* sound and the same went for the canisters on his shoulder armor.
"Cast off!" called out Sasword.
CAST OFF!
Announced the Sasword Yaiver as the loosened armor and tube coils dispersed and flew everywhere.
"What the-?!" exclaimed one of the goons before some of the dispersed pieces of armor hit him and some unfortunate enough to get hit by the flying armor and coils sending them flying a bit to the walls and floor.
Other goons meanwhile managed to dodged in time to avoid the flying armor parts before looking back towards their opponent and they looked on in surprise.
CHANGE SCORPION!
Now discarded of the outer armor, it revealed silver and purple armor with three red dots on the right pectoral over the upper part of the black suit, the purple pointed shoulder armor were shaped like scorpion pincers making the torso and shoulder armor look like a scorpion hugging the wearer's body, silver upper arm armor, elbow armor and gauntlets over the bracers and the face part of the helmet was revealed to be purple with three red dots on the forehead area, silver mandible pieces on the sides, silver mouthguard and two green eye visors resembling scorpion pincers facing downwards which briefly glowed. This was Kamen Rider Sasword's true form: his Rider Form.
Despite the shock of the appearance of Sasword's new form, one of the goons snapped out of it "Hey! What are we all standing here for?! He's standing right there! Get him!" he said snapping the rest of the goons out of it as they all charged at Sasword from all sides.
Sasword just scoffed "Useless..." he said while reaching with his free hand for a button located on the left side of the front of his belt.
"Clock Up!" he said before tapping said button.
CLOCK UP!
Announced the belt before everything around Sasword slowed down until it stopped. The scorpion rider looked around him and saw that all of the goons around him froze in place but were moving at an extremely slow pace.
Sasword got into a ready stance before charging at the goons and swung his sword at them sending them flying one after another at each sword slash. Although it seems like he's slowed down time for his opponents, in reality he's moving extremely fast, for the moment he activated his belt's clock up function, he disappeared in his enemies eyes and they were immediately sent flying by an unseen purple blur.
CLOCK OVER!
Announced Sasword's buckle as time returned to normal for the scorpion rider who appeared in a post sword swing position leaving all his opponents lying on the floor all limp with slash marks on them.
Trode looked on in horror as his men were being slaughtered one by one by these armored monsters "A-Are they even human?!" he thought in horror.
When the three riders finished off the last off the goons, they turned their sights on Trode.
Trode gulped in fear before turning around and attempted to run away and warn his mistress.
ADVENT!
Unfortunately, he wasn't given such chance as something big appeared in his way and it was a giant purple, silver, black and gold accented mechanical living cobra snake with yellow eyes and gold metal fins sticking out of the back of its' hood. This was Ouja's Contracted Mirror Monster Venosnaker.
It hissed at him as Trode screamed in fright and fell to the ground on his butt and he was so terrified at the sight of the mirror monster that he scrambled backwards in an attempt to get away.
Until he felt something hit the back of his head. He gulped, shaking in fright as he lifted up his shaking head, only to meet the face of Kamen Rider Killbus.
"BOO!"
"AAAAAHHHH!" screamed Trode as he scrambled the other way and he was now face to face with not only Killbus but as well as Ouja and Horobi.
Killbus laughed his head off while he was facing the ceiling as he clapped his hands in joy "Oh~ How it delights me to see that terrified face of yours!" he said in amusement.
"Quit your tormenting Scourge, we need this bloke to tell us where our target's hiding" lectured Sasword making Killbus sigh "Oh, alright" he said in submission.
Trode growled despite his fear "You think I'll tell you where she is? I'll never talk!" he said defiantly.
Ouja scoffed and snapped his fingers as Venosnaker hissed from above Trode's head, scaring the poor bastard to no end "OKAY! OKAY! SHE'S AT HER OFFICE! JUST PLEASE DON'T LET HIM EAT ME!" he begged and Venosnaker stopped upon his master's command.
"Thank you… for cooperating with us…" said Ouja as Venosnaker disappeared from sight returning to the Mirror World. "Now get out… before we change our mind…" he threatened as Trode quickly stood up and ran away towards the exit.
Unfortunately…
(Cranking Sound) READY GO~!
Trode didn't go too far upon hearing the sound and turned back, only to see Killbus charge at him with great speed leaving after images of himself, scaring Helga's bodyguard as the spider rider dashed passed him several times in different directions while restraining him in thick spiderweb silk and leaving a spiderweb pattern on the floor with him at the center. When he finished, he appeared in front of Trode and laughed as the red spider legs from his armor extended and lunged at him causing an explosion.
KILLBUS SPIDER FINISH!
The explosion sent Trode flying as he flew towards Sasword.
The scorpion rider "Hmphed" before getting into a schlussel guard stance "Rider Slash!" he said.
RIDER SLASH!
Announced the Sasword Yaiver as it began to drip with some kind of purple liquid before Sasword executed a diagonal downwards slash, sending the bodyguard flying with a scream.
Trode ended up crashing to the wall and he slid downwards until he was on the floor. He groaned in pain, a deep diagonal gash on him which started from the top of his left shoulder down to his right side and not only that, purple veins started to develop on his body courtesy of the liquid from Sasword's blade. He looked up to see Ouja slowly approaching him "You… you said…" he uttered out with the cobra rider managing to hear him.
"Did I?" said Ouja tilting his head to the side as he opened his Venovisor and pulled out a card, one containing his emblem with a purple shining background "I lied…" he said before inserting the card into his staff and closed it.
FINAL VENT!
Ouja broke to a running charge towards Trode with Venosnaker who appeared out of nowhere slithering behind him before the rider did a backflip. Venosnaker then spat a stream of venom, launching Ouja towards Trode.
"Veno Crash!" cried out Ouja executing a flying bicycle kick.
And that was the last thing Trode saw before the world around him turned black.
Back at Helga's office, the rogue fashion designer was pacing around getting impatient. She heard all the racket down at the basement level and felt a couple of tremors courtesy of the explosions and she waited for what felt like hours for Trode to report back in when it was only been just one hour.
"What is taking him so long?" Helga wondered out loud.
The door to her office slid opened revealing her bodyguard. Helga stopped her pacing and turned to her bodyguard looking like a mess "Well? Did you take care of it?!" she asked with an annoyed look.
Unfortunately, Trode suddenly fell forward to the floor dead revealing Kamen Rider Ouja with his hand out stretched at the entrance shocking Helga as she took a few steps back until she hit her desk.
The cobra rider entered the office followed by Killbus and Sasword "Knock! Kno~ck!" said Killbus playfully.
"Who… who are you?!" said Helga shaking in fear "What do you want?!" she demanded.
"Simple" said Killbus running his hand through his Drill Crusher "We're assassins" he said "And we're here to assassinate you" he said pointing his weapon at Helga shocking her.
"W-W-WHAT?!" she exclaimed horrified.
"Yes…" nodded Ouja in confirmation.
"W-w-why?!" she demanded in fear.
Ouja chuckled in amusement "Since you'll end up dead, I guess we'll tell you…" he said "We've been hired by your boss, the leader of the Crimson Horns to dispose of you" he said making Helga's eyes widen in shock.
The leader of the organization that gave her a second chance to climb back up to the top of the fashion world hired these intimidating looking armored beings to kill her.
She then attempted to reach a certain button on her computer.
CLOCK UP! CLOCK OVER!
Only for Sasword to appear in front of her in merely a second, sword raised near her neck and not only the computer ended up getting cut in half all of a sudden, courtesy of Sasword using Clock Up, much to her shock "I think not madam…" said Sasword glaring at Helga behind his helmet.
Helga became terrified "Y-Y-Y-YOU'RE LYING!" she stuttered out "He wouldn't dispose of me after giving me a second chance!" she said defiantly despite her fear.
"Is that so?" mused Sasword "Well... your boss did specifically instruct us to contact him so that he can leave you a message before ending your life" said Sasword as he lowered his weapon, took a couple steps back and took out a square shaped device.
(Insert Saw Soundtrack – Hello Zepp)
He pressed it and a holo-screen appeared showing the word "CONNECTING" before changing to "CALLING" while it made a beeping sound depicting of attempting to contact someone.
It later changed to "SOUND ONLY" depicting that someone answered the call.
"Hello Helga…" said a deep low voice and Helga recognized it "M-Mr. Agresta, is that you?" she asked in surprise.
"Indeed, it is" replied the voice revealing it to be none other than the voice of the leader of the Crimson Horns shocking Helga.
"Wha-what's the meaning of this Don Agresta? Did you hire these creeps to assassinate me?!" she demanded.
"That, I cannot deny" said Don Agresta shocking her.
"W-why?! Why would you do this?! You gave me a second chance! Why would you dispose of me just a couple of months after making me part of your group?!" she questioned with a look of one who's been betrayed.
"Because, dear Helga… of what you did behind our backs" he said, shocking her.
"Y-you knew what I was doing?!" she said in horror "How?! When did you find out?!" she exclaimed in disbelief.
"I found out just a week ago" said Don Agresta "You've done well deceiving me Helga… but you can't deceive me for long… for I have eyes and ears everywhere" he said "I've done some research on you the moment I recruited you… and I have to say that I don't approve of what you did in the past" he said "I didn't bother in disposing of you yet because I wanted to know what you planned to do, so I let you do what you wanted until my spies reported in your schemes" he said with a sneer behind his voice making Helga flinch.
"Using beastkin for your clothes line-up? I certainly do not approve of that" said Don Agresta with a tone of anger "I'd like to remind you that we have beastkin in our organization as well and some of them are also rich powerful families" he said "And they won't take kindly if they find out about this… and who knows? Maybe you might've taken one of their own family members and already skinned them into one of your coats!" he sneered in accusation making Helga flinch "The Crimson Horns has a reputation to uphold and we'd rather not have any members who do things behind our back and ruin our partnership between the beastkin factions and tarnish our reputation" said the Crimson Horns leader making Helga's eyes widen "So, I'm sad to say… you were a nice addition to our group… but we can't let anyone know we have someone like you doing inhumane things like this… so unfortunately for you…" trailed off Don Agresta "It's over" he said.
"W-wait! Wait! W-what do you mean?!" said Helga not believing what she just heard "I'll say this in a simple saying that you'll understand…" said Don Agresta "You're fired" he said, and with that, he hung up.
"NO!" exclaimed Helga reaching her hand out but was too late when the call ended and what happened next was…
*STAB!*
She felt a huge great pain in her chest. She slowly looked down, only to widen her eyes in horror and saw Ouja's Veno Saber stained with blood and through her chest. While she was distracted, the cobra rider approached her and prepared to stab her from behind and she was left open the moment Don Agresta hung up.
"It's as your former boss said…" said Ouja whispering into her ear "It's over…" he said.
"Uuuuuuuugh…" groaned Helga with her eyes rolling up to the back of her skull as she collapsed to the floor with Ouja removing his sword from her back as the rogue fashion designer now laid on the floor dead.
Killbus laughed in amusement while clapping his hands "Nicely done Rattle, well~ timed indeed!" he mused.
"As how much I don't appreciate seeing women get killed in front of my eyes... that wench did get what was coming to her" commented Sasword.
Ouja just grunted in response.
(Insert Kamen Rider Ex-Aid OST – Genm Level 2)
Later, Venom Squad were now seen outside the factory just a few feet away and they were just simply walking away.
"Killbus… did you set the charges?" Ouja asked.
"Indeed, I did leader" said Killbus casually with a playful tone.
"I suppose, you're gonna set them off?" questioned Sasword making Killbus chuckle in amusement and excitement.
"Just~ waiting for the signal~" said Killbus.
"Then what are you waiting for?" said Ouja rhetorically.
Killbus chuckled with glee as he took out a detonator and pressed it.
And somewhere in the factory, bombs were activated, causing an explosion, creating a chain reaction that blew up the factory in a glorious fiery display, leaving no evidence of Helga's newly developed clothes and as well as evidence of her ever being part of the Crimson Horns.
The fiery display behind Venom Squad walking away made them all look amazing and it became even more so when the riders glowed their respective color of their suits and changed back to their civilian forms with serious looks on their faces or in Scourge's case, a smug grin.
They walked away towards a purple portal, and the moment the trio went through, the portal disappeared without a trace.
"My~, my~, my~… what an epic conclusion to end this sequence" said the voice of Nexus Lupin as the sound of him clapping his hands was heard.
"I believe that's the end of the introduction for some of the members of the Shadow Fist Guild but not to worry… more will be coming your way and hopefully the next group of villains will be as interesting as this one" said Nexus.
"So, you better watch out… for more trouble will be coming your way…" said Nexus.
"Ciao~!"
Author's Notes:
Inspired from XP4Universe and Fir100
That's all for the new chapter and as well as the 5-part chapter arc of this part of the story. Blazer and his group finished their job and are now currently on their way to their client, meanwhile we're introduced to a trio of assasins called Venom Squad asigned to get rid of Helga von Gugen and her bodyguard Trode from Totally Spies and they've succeeded with the help of their Kamen Rider powers.
Hope you liked the introduction of the new trio of Kamen Riders with two of them being Dark Riders and all three of them are assassins none the less. He heh!
If you're wondering about how Kamen Rider Ouja summoned his V-Buckle without the use of a mirror or reflective surface, well I used the US Adaptation of Kamen Rider Ryuki on how they summoned their belts. Apparently, the US counterparts of Kamen Rider Ryuki could also summon their belts without the use of a mirror or any other reflective surface and I found the lightning part a bit of a nice touch to it. But don't worry, the transformation sequence will be the same but the belt summoning is different, so expect future Kamen Rider Ryuki Riders to have their transformation sequences to be like that, a combination of both the Japanese and US Adaptations.
Also, if you've noticed, the Sasword Zecter can talk in my stories, how it can talk will be explained later in the future, also expect other Zecters to talk in the future once they appear.
And as for my choice of who they assassinated, well… I needed someone who'd rather be seen only once and this was who you got.
Look forward to the next chapter because I have something interesting and cool in stored. And it's gonna be fun.
