Chapter 9 – The Rejects, The Eds and The Master of the Seas Part 4
Nexus Lupin: Previously, the Eds and Rejects were captured by the infamous dimension travelling band of pirates known as the Black Skull Pirates. The pirates' captain, Roark Lucius AKA Dead-Eye Roark attempted to persuade David into joining them but he refused. This caused the pirates to force his friends into walking the plank starting with Cliff but then changed their sites on Eddy and they attempted to feed him to their hungry pack of Sharpedo. Luckily, one of the Rejects, Gage managed to get out of his restraints and started going crazy and fought against the crew and Roark had his first mate Amunet Nader who transformed into the Fighting Jackal Raider deal with the brown Reject. After revealing himself as an android and managing to trick Amunet into freeing his friends, the Eds and Rejects were forced to go into the lower decks and plan their escape with the Black Skull Crew in pursuit. How will they ever plan to escape the pirates and return home to Eartheon? Well… let's find out!
The Rejects and Eds split up into two teams and they were currently hiding in two different floors of the lower decks.
Currently, we enter the 2nd lower deck, were we see Gunny together with Vern, Gage, Dan, Caboose, Ed and Double D hiding in the weapons depot and armory.
"Whoa… there sure are a lot of different weapons and equipment in here" said Dan admiring all the weapons and equipment which were composed of weapons from Earth, the UNSC, Covenant and also from other dimensions as well.
"Hehehe… well, ah suggest ya boys arm yerselves then" said Gunny watching over the entrance with colt pistol in hand.
"Um… I'm not sure about that" said Double D a bit unsure.
"Trust me Eddward, ther's no tellin if ye might need it" he told the sock hat wearing Ed "Oh, and Richards…" he said glancing at Dan "See if ye can find me a shotgun in ther" he said.
"Right away sir!" said Dan with a salute as he went in to arm himself and the same went with Caboose, Vern, Gage and Ed. Double D just sighed as he followed the rest of half of the Rejects.
Dan looked around the Covenant weapons section, he held his chin and hummed in thought of which weapon to choose, he then saw a Type-25 Plasma Rifle displayed with a number of plasma rifles and hummed with a smile as he took it, but then he took notice of the Type-25 Brute Plasma Rifles which were crimson red colored as opposed to the blue-purple one that he had in hand, the nerdy reject glanced back at his current weapon of choice before turning back to the Brute Plasma Rifles and hummed with a smirk.
With Vern, he was also looking around for any weapon that might catch his eye as he hummed. He managed to find himself an F-88A1C Austeyr Carbine and took it, he then noticed a Type-25 Spiker Rifle and hummed and walked towards it.
With Gage, Caboose, Ed and Double D, they were looking around the weapons depot for anything that they could use for combat.
Caboose took notice of some unique looking rifles in one weapon rack as he approached them and Gage followed after noticing them as well "Ooh~! Those look nice" said the former while looking at one of the rifles and if you looked closely, they had three barrels and a pump and they kinda looked like they came right out of a sci-fi movie.
"Hmm…" hummed Gage as he took one of the rifles and practiced aiming with it "Esto lo hara" he said with a nod.
Caboose looked towards Gage before looking back at the other rifles and shrugged before taking one. He then looked to his right and saw something that piqued his curiosity, it was a progrise key and it was colored magenta and black with the name "Dynamiting Lion" with the ability "Burst" below it. This was the Dynamiting Lion Progrise Key and it was currently stored in another rack with other progrise keys.
"Ooh~!" said Caboose before taking it. He turned further to his right to see a number of Raidrisers stored in another weapons and equipment rack, he looked at the progrise key in his hand before turning to the raidrisers and got an idea as he reached out his hand to one of them.
Caboose then heard a gasp and turned around to see Ed who was looking at what looked like a sword displayed on another weapons rack along with other swords.
The sword had a silver double edged blade and it had a yellow filler with triangle patterns on it, the lower part of the blade being yellow with slanted black stripes, a black and yellow patterned sword handle with a yellow pommel with a gray hexagon within a yellow hexagon on it, the guard shaped like bull horns and a silver hexagon shaped center with studs on each corner, yellow interior and in the very center is a green hexagonal jewel.
Caboose gasped as well when he saw the sword that Ed saw "OH! MY! GOD~! IT'S THE SWORD OF MAGNA DEFENDER!" he exclaimed in excitement.
"Magna Defender?" questioned Double D approaching the two.
Ed turned to Double D with an excited smile on his face "He is the 6th ranger of the Lost Galaxy Rangers from Power Rangers Lost Galaxy!" he said in excitement.
"Oh… I see… I remember now" said Double D with astonished eyes as he looked at the Magna Sword "I wonder what it's doing here? Wasn't it destroyed when its previous wielder sacrificed his powers to allow Terra Venture to escape the Lost Galaxy?" he wondered.
"I'm surprised that Magna Defender's sword is even here and in one piece" commented Dan who approached them with his plasma rifles held on both his hands and a Mossberg Maverick 88 Shotgun slung on his back "How'd it even end up here in the first place?" he questioned.
"That… is a mystery Dan" said Double D looking at the sword once again with his hand on his chin.
Dan then took notice of the rifles Caboose and Gage were holding "Whoa! Aren't those Nova Corps Machine Guns?" he said recognizing them.
"Huh?" said Caboose turning to Dan before looking at his rifle "This?" he asked.
"Yeah, those were seen in Guardians of the Galaxy from the Marvel Cinematic Universe" explained Dan.
"Neat…" Caboose simply said.
"Ah... no me extraña por qué me parecían familiares, me gustó esa película" said Gage looking at his Nova Machine Gun.
"Gage…" said Dan with a deadpanned look "We better get your voice unit fixed when we get home" he told him.
"Sí, no podría estar más de acuerdo contigo" said Gage with an equally deadpanned look.
Meanwhile, Ed continued to just stare at the Magna Sword. For some reason, it was calling out to him. Without a second thought, he lifted his hand up and reached out to it.
"Uh… Ed? What are you doing?" asked Double D taking notice but his words fell on deaf ears as Ed continued to reach out for the sword "Ed wait!" exclaimed Double D but it was too late because Ed already grabbed the sword. When he did, he froze with wide eyes "Uh… Ed?" said Double D in concern. And just like that, Ed slowly tipped backwards and hit the floor with a *THUD!* "ED!" exclaimed Double D in shock as he along with Vern, Gage, Caboose and Dan gathered around him after seeing him collapse.
"Ed! Wake up! Don't go into the light!" said Caboose concerned for his friend.
Vern checked for a pulse and thankfully he did "It's alright, he's alive, he's just fainted somehow" he said with a sigh of relief.
"Oh, thank goodness" said Caboose glad that the dimwitted Ed was still alive.
"Probablemente sea por tocar la espada" said Gage looking towards the Magna Sword which was still in Ed's grip.
"Wha?" said Vern turning to Gage with a raised eyebrow "I think Gage was trying to say that Ed fainting might have something to do with the sword" translated Double D in which Gage nodded in confirmation.
"Ah, I see" said Vern with a nod.
"What in Sam Hill is goin on over ther?!" called out Gunny while still keeping watch.
"Uh… Gunny…" said Dan with slight worry "Ed seemed to have fainted after touching a sword" he told Gunny.
"What?! Wake 'em up will ya!" called out Gunny turning to the others.
"We're trying sir!" called out Dan as he and Vern tried to wake up Ed by either shaking him or gently slapping his cheeks.
(Insert Pirates of the Carribean: At World's End Soundtrack – Up is Down)
Gunny then heard the sound of footsteps and he turned to the entrance and peeked outside, his eyes widened upon what he saw.
"Aw… fudge…" he said before turning to his group "Gentleman… we got company" he said as he joined them.
"Oh no…" said Dan in slight panic as he heard the approaching footsteps.
"Quick! Hide anywhere nd position yerselves so tha when they arrive, I'll give thuh signal ta fire!" he told them before looking down at the still unconscious Ed and then up to the others again "Somebody put him somewhere where he won't get caught in thuh line ah fire" he told them bluntly.
"Yes sir!" saluted Dan before helping Double D lift Ed somewhere where he'll be safe for now.
A few moments later, a group of pirates led by Retha and Bork arrived.
"They're probably hiding somewhere here, search the area for those Arse wipes" said Retha, dual Blunderblasters in hand.
"Yeah! And if they don't come out, we'll just blast the whole place until they surrender!" called out Bork cheerfully with studded club in hand.
"*Groan!* If we do that Bork, we'll end up blowing up the whole ship" said Retha.
"Oh… okay!" said Bork with a carefree tone.
"He's a bit… cheery for someone dimwitted" whispered Double D in hiding "Kinda like Ed and Caboose" he added.
"Puedes decir eso de nuevo" whispered Gage in agreement who was hiding with Double D, he then looked to one of the weapons rack next to him and quietly took an FN P90 SMG from it and silently gave it to Double D "Aquí, ten esto" he told him "Lo vas a necesitar" he added.
"Thanks…" whispered Double D taking the SMG and checking if it was loaded and it indeed was.
"Hey Retha, can we use that new equipment we stole from the other day?" asked one of the human pirates.
The sentient Kangaroo grinned "Sure, I see why not" she said.
The pirate nodded and turned to the other human pirates and as well as humanoid demi-humans who were basically the grunts and nodded to them as they all took out some items.
Half of them were Raidrisers while the other half were what looked like a different belt.
The belt straps were red with silver ends that clip into each other when worn around the waist and the buckles were rust brown and they had a rectangular like rusty brown part that's facing upwards with a silver surface with the logo "SMART BRAIN" on it. These belts were the Smart Buckles.
The pirates strapped on their belts and half of them took out progrise keys, these being the same color which were gray and black with the same name which is "Invading Horseshoe Crab" with the same ability being "Hard" under it on the covers. These were Invading Horseshoe Crab Progrise Keys.
They then activated the keys.
HARD!
And then inserted them into their Raidrisers as they played the same techno music. Half of the pirates all said "Equip!" and pressed the buttons of their Raidrisers while the other half said "Henshin!" and pushed down the vertical buckles into a horizontal position.
RAIDRISE! INVADING… HORSE~SHOE~ CRAB~! *Siren wailing sound* Heavily produced battle armor equipped with extra battle specifications.
COMPLETE!
While those equipped with Raidrisers had light gray pipes surround them similarly to Amunet, those equipped with Smart Buckles had rusty brown photon streams surround parts of their bodies as they all changed form.
Those who were equipped with Raidrisers were now clad in gray body suit under white thigh armor and greaves, black armored boots, white lower body armor and on their upper body is black and red outlined bulky torso armor with the chestplate area resembling a horseshoe crab, black shoulder pauldrons and bracers with the left pauldron looking more bulky and the left bracer having a bulkier armor piece like a somewhat shield, white gloves, black and gray helmets with intimidating face plates and red intimidating looking eyes and held in their hands are what looked like Kriss Vector SMGs called Tridenta. These are the Invading Horseshoe Crab Raiders AKA Battle Raiders.
And those who were equipped with Smart Buckles were now clad in black body suits with two light gray lines from their legs up to their chests, black and rusty brown chestplates, black and rusty brown shoulder pauldrons, rusty brown knee armor, black and rusty brown accented greaves, black and silver boots, black and rusty brown accented bracers, black gloves with black armor pads on top of her palms, a weapon that looks like a sword sheathed on a red weapon strap on their left leg and a black and rusty brown helmet with silver mouthguard, rusty brown antennas on the top front and a circular silver visor above the mouthguard. These are the Riotroopers.
"Aw… Bloody hell…" said Vern quietly while peaking from his hiding spot Austyer Carbine in hand.
"That… is not good at all…" whispered Dan.
"Agreed" said Double D with a gulp.
"Hehehe… This is more of a challenge fer me" said Gunny with a shit-eating grin.
"Aw, por favor no" muttered Gage facepalming himself in exasperation.
Retha and Bork slowly walked towards the depot while leading the Battle Raiders, Riotroopers and the other pirates inside as the Riotroopers took out weapons that were sheathed on the holders strapped to their left legs. These weapons resembled motorbike handles with a break-like trigger, a hand guard, the "Smart Brain" logo on the right side of the handle and a rusty brown edged blade with what looks like a gun barrel on the back of the blade. These were Axelayguns, the Riotroopers' personal weapons.
"Where are~ you~?" said Retha slowly hopping forward while looking around as the pirates looked around the place "Come out, come out, wherever you are~" taunted the Kangaroo with a grin.
Some of the pirates had their weapons pointed while looking for the group in hiding as they continued to quietly move forward.
"This feels like playing hide n seek!" uttered out Bork cheerfully.
"Yeah, but instead of catching them, we're killing them!" said a minotaur pirate holding a blunderblaster as some of the other pirates snickered at that joke.
"Come on out boys, things might be easier if you lot just surrender!" called out Retha "Just tell me where you are so we can settle things peacefully!" she said with a grin, making some of the other pirates' chuckle, fully knowing that she's lying.
(Insert Marvel VS Capcom 3 OST – Deadpool Theme)
"Then come n get us dirtbags!" said Gunny popping out of his hiding spot along with Gage, Double D, Vern, Dan and Caboose getting the pirates' attention. And before they could do anything…
"Fire!" exclaimed Gunny as he and the others open fired with their weapons, Gunny his colt peacemaker, Gage his Nova machine gun, Double D his SMG, Vern his Austyer carbine, Dan his dual plasma rifles and Caboose with his Nova machine gun as the group unleashed a barrage at the pirates.
This caught the pirates off-guard "Crikey!" exclaimed Retha in surprise as she hopped out of the way and into cover. "Take cover!" exclaimed Bork as he and some pirates ducked for cover as well.
Some of the others pirates were unfortunate enough to get caught in the line of fire as they all dropped dead or incapacitated. But fortunately, the riotroopers and battle raiders were still standing, some of those from the former group dropped to the floor upon getting hit by some of the bullet, laser and plasma rounds but slowly stood back up while those from the latter got the same result, only they got up faster due to their thicker and more durable armor. The riotroopers pushed down the blades of their Axelayguns switching them to gun mode as they and the battle raiders returned fire with their Axelayguns and Tridenta SMGs respectively.
"Duck!" exclaimed Gunny as the group ducked down in their cover out of the pirates' line of fire.
"Yipes!" exclaimed Caboose taking cover.
"This isn't gonna be easy" said Dan from his cover.
"Yeah, no shit Sherlock!" quipped Vern who was with the nerdy reject.
"Wonder how Eddy and the others are doing?" wondered Double D "Hope they're having an easier time than us" he said.

A few minutes ago, while half of the Rejects and Eds were up in the weapons and armory deck…
Meanwhile, the other half composed of the McMillan brothers, Tucker, Nate, Cliff and Eddy were hiding on the lowest deck which was the cargo deck and surprisingly, it was also the location for one of the ship's launch deck where they deploy their smaller vehicles when the ship's airborne.
"Man… why'd we have to end up in a place like this" complained Eddy as they were hiding behind a few crates.
"How about you shut up for a moment so that we could think for a moment!" berated Lenny annoyed.
"Don't mind him Eddy, he's just frustrated over his smashed glasses" said Tucker.
"You shut up too Tucker! And I'm fine, got it!?" berated Lenny turning to Tucker.
"Are you sure you're okay Lenny? With your glasses broken and all…" asked Nate concerned for his friend.
"I can see… just… fine Nate!" said Lenny with gritted teeth and a glare.
"Guys…! Will all of you just be quiet for a moment?! I'm trying to look up at something here!" David told them as he was checking out one of the crates. They did stay quiet as David continued to analyze the crate, he noticed that it was already pried open and so he lifted up the cover and let out a quiet gasp, he turned to the other crates and noticed that they had one thing in common "Guys… I think these crates are filled with weapons and other equipment" he said.
"What? Really?!" said Tucker in surprise and excitement.
"Then what are we waiting for?! Let's get some and fight our way out of here!" said Eddy eager to get out of their predicament.
"I'm in on that!" said Lenny without a second thought.
"Here then, catch!" said David tossing an HK PSG1 Sniper Rifle to his brother in which he caught "Whoa…" said Lenny who was testing out the scope "Cool…" he said with a grin.
"Man… how come he gets a sniper rifle?" complained Tucker "How about stop complaining and pick a weapon Tucker" said David taking out a UNSC BR85N Battle Rifle from another crate.
"Yeah, c'mon and pick something" said Eddy looking for a weapon he could use.
"Ugh… fine!" said Tucker as he looked around the crates.
Nate looked around the crates, he took an MP7A1 Machine Pistol with a collapsible stock and collapsible foregrip as he nodded, he then took notice of an M32 Grenade Launcher and hummed with a small smile.
Eddy looked around the crates and he saw a Kriss Super Vector SMG with a strap attached to it, he took it and let out a sly grin "Sweet~…" he said smoothly. He then took notice of one of the crates next to the one he took the SMG from, both crates had a peculiar symbol which is that of crimson colored bull horns.
"Hmm… what's in here?" he wondered as he lifted the lid of one of them. When he took a look, his eyes widened as he let out a "Whoa!". Inside the crate were a number of items seen from Kamen Rider shows such as raidrisers, progrise keys and other stuff.
Eddy rummaged through the crate until his eyes caught the attention of a small silver box which had the name 'ZECT' on it "Now what do we have here?" he said as he slung his SMG before slowly taking the box and opened it before his eyes widened upon seeing what looked like a wrist device placed inside the box.
Said wrist device was black and silver with a yellow patch on the front with a honeycomb pattern on it, a black port on top and a yellow wrist band.
"No way…" said Eddy, excitement starting to build up as he slowly took wrist device out of the box and into his hands "This is…" he trailed off for a few seconds before frowning "Uh... what's this called again?" he said trying to remember.
"Whoa! That's the Rider Brace!" exclaimed Tucker approaching Eddy. The reject had a Type-55 Storm Rifle slung on his back with the help of some rope and he was also holding some kind of cylinder on his right hand.
"Rider Brace?!" exclaimed Eddy in surprise before it suddenly clicked "Oh yeah! It's from that Kamen Rider series... what's it called again?" he questioned.
"It's from Kamen Rider Kabuto! Y'know? That show where the riders are insect themed and they have the ability to move at superspeed?" said Tucker.
"Oh yeah!" said Eddy looking at the brace "I watch tons of Kamen Rider series and I do tend to remember some things about them but I'm not very knowledgeable about all the riders, the one who knows more would be Ed, since he's an over the top KR fan" quipped Eddy "Who uses this again?" he asked.
"That would be the wasp rider TheBee I think?" said Tucker "And since you're the one who found it, I guess that means it's yours now!" he said.
"Rea~lly~?" said Eddy looking at the Rider Brace with a devious smirk.
Tucker then took a look at the crate Eddy found the Rider Brace and his eyes caught something "Whoa… what's this?" he said taking out what he found.
I looked like a rectangular buckle with a dark green, gold and white color scheme and it had a gold cover with hints of darkgreen on the left side with two violet semicircles with white accents and a split line in the middle, making it look like the right side of the gold portion could move to the right side of the buckle.
"Whoa! Tucker, do you have any idea what you just found?!" said Eddy with wide eyes.
"What is it?" asked Tucker turning to Eddy "That's the Leangle Buckle, it allows you to transform into Kamen Rider Leangle!" Eddy revealed.
"For real?!" exclaimed Tucker looking at the belt in shock before raising an eyebrow "If so, then where are the cards?" he questioned.
"They're probably somewhere in this crate" said Eddy before a thought came to him "Now that I think about it, do you think we could find the device that goes with the rider brace?" he asked.
"Oh, you mean the TheBee Zecter? Let's go and look then" said Tucker as he and Eddy began to rummage through the crate. They rummaged for a little while until Tucker found a small card box.
"Bingo!" said Tucker as he opened it and found five cards.
The first card had a picture of a green spider with gold tips on its' legs and a yellow club on its' back and a dark yellow background with a gold frame with a lock on the top middle part of the frame. On the left side of the card was a red letter "A" on the upper left corner with a yellow club above it and below it facing sideways was the word "CHANGE" in color red and finally below the picture of the stag beetle is the name "Change Spider" with some description below it and to the right of the description is a red letter "A" positioned upside down with a yellow club bellow it and two small gold shields above it. This was the Category Ace of Clubs Change Spider Rouse Card.
The second card had a picture of a yellow mechanical looking bee with a sharp stinger with spikes around it facing forward and a bluish green background with a gold frame with a lock on the top middle part of the frame. On the left side of the card was a red number "2" on the upper left corner with a yellow club above it and below it facing sideways was the word "STAB" in color red and finally below the picture of the bee is the name "STAB BEE" with some description below it and to the right of the description is a red number "2" positioned upside down with a yellow club bellow it and above it was red letters "FP" with a red number "400" and two gold shields below it. This was the Category Two of Clubs Stab Bee Rouse Card.
The second one had a picture of a greenish blue and black mechanical looking rhinoceros with steam locomotive parts on its' sides and a pointed spear-like horn and a dark yellow background with a gold frame with a lock on the top middle part of the frame. On the left side of the card was a red number "4" on the upper left corner with a yellow Club above it and below it facing sideways was the word "RUSH" in color red and finally below the picture of the rhinoceros is the name "Rush Rhinoceros" with some description below it and to the right of the description is a red number "4" positioned upside down with a yellow club bellow it and above it was red letters "FP" with a red number "800" and four gold shields below it. This was the Category Four of Clubs Rush Rhinoceros Rouse Card.
The third one had a picture of a black and green corba with spikes on the hood, a number of spike collars on its' tail and a reddish brown background with a gold frame with a lock on the top middle part of the frame. On the left side of the card was a red number "5" on the upper left corner with a yellow club above it and below it facing sideways was the word "BITE" in color red and finally below the picture of the cobra is the name "Bite Cobra" with some description below it and to the right of the description is a red number "5" positioned upside down with a yellow diamond bellow it and above it was red letters "FP" with a red number "1200" and six gold shields below it. This was the Category Five of Clubs Bite Cobra Rouse Card.
And the last card had a picture of a polar bear with armored braces, greaves thigh armor, torso armor, armored collar and head armor and a dark blue background with an aquamarine frame with a lock on the top middle part of the frame. On the left side of the card was a red number "6" on the upper left corner with a yellow club above it and below it facing sideways was the word "BLIZZARD" in color red and finally below the picture of the polar bear is the name "Blizzard Polar" with some description below it and to the right of the description is a red number "6" positioned upside down with a yellow club bellow it and above it was blue letters "MP" with a blue number "1200" and one blue shield with crossed swords below it. This was the Category Six of Clubs Blizzard Polar Rouse Card.
"Whoa...! Those are Leangle's cards aren't they?" asked Eddy looking at the cards.
"Yep! They sure are!" said Tucker when suddenly, the Change Spider card started to glow a purple aura.
"Whoa~! What's going on?!" exlaimed Eddy in surprise.
"Heh... I think this means that I'm compatible with the rider buckle" said Tucker with a smirk.
"Guess this means you'll be becoming Kamen Rider Leangle then!" said Eddy with a grin before glancing at the card "And you won't have to worry about the Spider Undead, taking possession of you since it's properly sealed" he pointed out.
"Huh... I guess you're right" said Tucker taking a closer look at the card. In the original series, when the original wielder of Leangle Mutsuki Kamijo became Leangle, the change card was originally purple due to the Spider Undead intentionally getting sealed in an attempt to take control of its' host by influencing him but his plan was thwarted by the Tarantula Undead allowing Mutsuki to properly seal him thus changing the card into its' current state.
"And not only that, you'll be able to get the chicks to dig ya dude!" the former scam artist added.
"Bow chicka bow wow!" exclaimed Tucker as he and Eddy shared a high five and also a laugh.
Lenny who was eavesdropping merely rolled his eyes and shook his head while getting his hands on a UNSC M20 SMG.
"Anyway, let's look for my "Tubby Zipper" so we can fight off those pirates and get home" said Eddy.
"It's "TheBee Zecter" Eddy" corrected Tucker as he and the former scam artist continued rummaging through the crate.
Meanwhile with David, he continued to look around the crates to see if he could find anything useful. He took a Barretta M9A1 pistol along with a holster and he strapped it on the right side of his belt and leg and nodded, he then took notice of another crate, this one looking futuristic. He took a look and hummed as he pressed a button that opened the crate and what was inside slightly surprised him.
What was inside the crate were what looked like four archery arrows, they had a gold color scheme and they all looked futuristic as if they came right out of a sci-fi movie.
"What are these?" wondered David taking out one of them and examined them in his hand.
"Whoa… that's a Yaka Arrow" said Nate approaching David upon seeing the arrow.
"A Yaka Arrow?" parroted David turning to Nate with a raised eyebrow.
"Yeah" nodded Nate "That was used by Yondu from the movie Guardians of the Galaxy" he explained "It's actually a flying arrow and it obeys Yondu's commands by responding to his whistling" Nate explained.
"Whistling?" said David with a raised eyebrow "Yep! Although it's kinda complicated because Yondu needed a special control fin that connects to his mind allowing him to control the arrow, plus it responds to different kinds of whistle commands" Nate explained.
"Huh…" hummed David as he and Nate turned to the crate "Whoa… and there are three more of them!" said the latter astonished.
"I can see that…" said David as he grabbed the remaining three arrows.
"You gonna use those?" Nate wondered as David noticed what looked like some kind of metal fin and took it. He stared at both the arrows and fin at the same time as he thought about something until he put both of them away in his jacket "I'll save them for another time… plus I'll need to come up with some alternative device to control these arrows instead of using the fin" the older McMillan brother said.
"Okay" was all Nate said with a shrug.
"Well… hello~!" said the voice of Cliff as Eddy and the Rejects turned to the slacker who had an HK MP5K-PDW SMG slung on his right shoulder and saw him carrying a Type-25 Brute Shot "This one's mine" said Cliff with a grin.
"Huh… that's a good look" commented David.
"I'm calling this thing the Cliff Shot!" declared Cliff.
Everyone including Eddy gave him a deadpanned look "That is the worst weapon name ever… of all time" said David.
"Screw you!" said Cliff in annoyance.
Before an argument could escalate "Wait a minute? Shh!" shushed Lenny as everyone remained quiet until they heard what sounded like footsteps coming their way "Someone's coming! Quick hide!" he said as everyone hid on different areas of the cargo deck.
Entering the area was a human pirate with a cutlass in hand "This is Chipper, I'm at the cargo deck, beginning my search now" Chipper the pirate spoke through a walkie talkie.
"Report if you found them Chipper, you have permission to use your new equipment on them once you do" spoke the voice of Beastly through the walkie talkie.
"Got it!" said Chipper as he put his walkie talkie away and slowly searched the area.
He slowly walked passed some of the crates and vehicles when he came upon some crates where some of the Rejects and Eddy were hiding behind.
Eddy was hiding behind a crate to Chipper's right, Tucker, the crate to Chipper's left and the rest were hiding behind four separate crates that were a few feet away from Chipper.
When Chipper was slowly passing Tucker and Eddy's crates, Tucker signaled David as the older McMillan brother turned to the younger brother "Now Lenny!" he called out.
Lenny nodded and quickly got out of hiding and pointed his PSG1 Sniper Rifle at Chipper "Say good night pirate!" he said and open fired.
*BANG!* *BANG!* *BANG!* *BANG!* *BANG!*
Unfortunately, he missed all five bullets that were loaded onto the rifle and what was hilarious was that Chipper wasn't too far and he could've been easily shot at his range of distance.
"WHOA! SON A BITCH!" exclaimed Chipper in shock as he ducked and when the shots were over, he took out his flintlock blaster and open fired causing Lenny to duck in return.
"Aw, crap!" exclaimed Lenny hiding back in his cover as he waited for Chipper to stop his barrage. He then turned to David who gave him a deadpanned expression "What?" he asked with a raised eyebrow.
"Those were the worst shots ever… of all time" he said in a deadpanned tone.
"Shut up!" said Lenny with a frown "And I thought that near-sightedness of yours wouldn't hinder your sniping skills" said David "Guess you really are hopeless without your glasses" he added bluntly.
Lenny stayed silent for a few moments before he spoke "Y'know what… I freaking hate you…" he said with eyebrows twitching.
"Noted…" said David.
Back with Chipper, he ran out of ammo and he quickly took out his walkie talkie "Uh, this is Chipper! The prisoners are hiding in the cargo deck!" he said.
"Alright, we're on our way!" said Beastly as Chipper put away his walkie talkie and searched his person for something.
"C'mon, c'mon, c'moooon- Found it!" he said as he took out a Raidriser and a progrise key but this one looked different. The progrise key was white and it had the name "Scouting Panda" with the ability "Search" below it. This is the Scouting Panda Progrise Key.
"You're in for it now punks!" said Chipper with a smug grin as he prepared to strap on the Raidriser.
David took notice and his eyes widened "No! Someone, stop him!" he exclaimed as he, Lenny and Nate got out of their cover.
"Surprise Mothercrusher!" exclaimed a voice to Chipper's left followed by the sound of *CHEOOOCHIKK!*.
"Huh?!" said Chipper as he turned to his left only to see Tucker with a Type-1 Energy Sword but this one had a blade of a blue color shade and the hilt was color green. This was the Ravening Silver Energy Sword. And before Chipper knew it…
"Stab!" exclaimed Tucker as he thrusts his blade forward as it made a sound of *KUSHHHH!*.
Chipper's eyes widened in shock upon feeling a burning sensation on his chest. He slowly looked down and saw that Tucker stabbed him on the chest with his sword.
"You… bastard…" was the last thing he said before Tucker removed his sword from the pirate who dropped dead in an instant.
"Well… that went well…" said Lenny sarcastically as he and the rest joined Tucker and Eddy.
"Man… nice sword stabbing Tucker" said Eddy.
"Thanks man" said Tucker deactivating his energy sword.
"More will be coming soon since this guy called for reinforcements, so we better get ready" said David.
"Yeah, no shit Sherlock!" said Lenny with annoyance.
(Switch BGM to Pirates of the Caribbean: On Stranger Tides Soundtrack – Palm Tree Escape)
Tucker took a look at the dead pirate and noticed his raidriser and progrise key now on the floor and an idea hit him "Hey Lenny!" he called out getting the sniper wielding reject's attention "Here, catch!" said Tucker as he took the raidriser and progrise key from the pirate and tossed them over to Lenny who caught them with ease.
Lenny looked at the items with a raised eyebrow before facing Tucker "What do you want me to do with these?" he asked with a frown.
"Use them, duh~!" said Tucker as if it were obvious.
"What?! You want me to use this thing?!" said Lenny questionably "Hey, it'll probably give us an advantage, plus if you remember, the power of that progrise key turns you into a sniper type" said Tucker.
Lenny looked at the progrise key and frowned again "There is no way… that I am gonna be wearing a panda suit!" protested Lenny.
"Quit your complaining and just use it Lenny" said Eddy.
"They have a point" reasoned David "It's best we use every advantage we could use, unless you wanna end up becoming Sharpedo food" he said.
"Ugh… FINE!" said Lenny giving in.
"Alright, let's let's get back to finding my "Toby Zephyr" so that I can join in on the fight later!" said Eddy.
"It's "TheBee Zecter" Eddy" corrected Tucker.
"You better hurry up then, 'cause that pirate called for backup and if you don't find your toy in time, we'll all be dead here" said Lenny.
"Okay, okay, just chill no need to panic Lenny" said Eddy as he and Tucker went back to the crate they were rummaging in.
"Just make it quick you two but if the pirates come and you haven't found what you're looking for, get to cover" said David.
"You got it!" said Tucker with a thumbs-up.
Later, Beastly along with his group of pirates arrived and looked around until they spotted Chipper's body.
Beastly growled before turning to the rest of his group "All of you! Scour the whole deck! Do whatever it takes to find them!" he commanded as the pirates let out an "ARRR!" in reply.
"That won't be necessary…" said a familiar voice.
"Huh?!" said the Gazimon as he and his group turned ahead and saw David and his group reveal themselves from their cover.
"Hey there mutt!" said Lenny as he and everyone open fired with their weapons, Lenny his M20 SMG, Eddy his Kriss Vector SMG, David his Battle Rifle, Nate his MP7A1, Tucker his Storm Rifle and Cliff his HK MP5K-PDW SMG.
"HOLY-!" exclaimed Beastly before he and some of his group dodged out of the way of the Rejects and Eddy's line of fire while those who were too slow were unfortunate enough to receive a barrage of bullets and plasma rounds in their guts and dropped dead.
"Yeah! Take that ya pirate bastards!" said Tucker.
"Yeah, ya punks!" said Cliff reloading his SMG and open fired again.
Beastly growled before turning to some of his troops "You know what to do!" he called out.
"Right!" some of them said as they stood up and by that time, the Rejects and Eddy were reloading. The pirates took out two familiar belts and strapped them on and half of them took out familiar progrise keys.
RAIDRISER!
The Rejects and Eddy took notice and before they could process anything…
HARD!
"Equip/Henshin!" announced the pirates as they transformed.
RAIDRISE! INVADING… HORSE~SHOE~ CRAB~! *Siren wailing sound*
COMPLETE!
They became Battle Raiders and Riotroopers respectively.
"Fire!" commanded Beastly as the raiders and troopers open fired with their Tridentas and Axelayguns respectively.
"DUCK!" exclaimed Eddy as he and the Rejects took cover.
"Grrr… let's use these things and get out of here!" said Lenny taking out his Raidriser and progrise key.
"No! Not yet!" exclaimed David "Wait for them to stop and I'll give the signal for you, Tucker and Eddy to use them got it?!" he reasoned.
"UGH! FINE!" said Lenny annoyed.
"Ugh... if only I found that "Tummy Zingger"!" complained Eddy while hearing Tucker call out "TheBee Zecter!" "Man… hope Ed, Double D and the others are doing better than us…" said the former scam artist worried about his friends.
"I'm sure they'll be able to get out of their situation" assured Tucker "Heck! I bet they even found stuff similar to ours too!" he added showing his buckle.
Eddy grinned "Man… I bet Ed, Double D and I will be one hell of a trio if that happens" he said "Kinda like as if we're Celestial Champions" he added.
Tucker chuckled at that "Oh, I bet you would! Especially me and the others!" he said and Eddy replied with a thumbs up and a grin as they chuckled.
"Seriously? How could the both of you make a conversation at a time like this?!" berated Lenny in disbelief.
Back with the other half of the Rejects and Eds, they were under fire of the other group of Battle Raiders, Riotroopers and other pirates along with Retha and Bork.
"Return fire!" commanded Gunny as he fired a few shots from his colt peacemaker.
Gage, Double D, Vern and Dan were doing their fair share of fighting off against the pirates with their weapons and the same went with Caboose who was yelling out like crazy as he fired a barrage of lasers at the pirates with his Nova Machine Gun. Some of the shots managed to hit some of the pirates killing them but most of them either hit the raiders and troopers which resulted in only slowing them down.
And where was Ed? Well, he was still lying unconscious on the floor, Magna Sword still in hand and he was with Caboose safely behind cover.
INVADING BOLIDE!
Suddenly, one of the battle raiders aimed their weapon and fired an energy orb at them.
"Take cover!" exclaimed Gunny.
"Yipes!" exclaimed Double D as he lunged to the floor while dropping his P90 SMG in the process.
Every one of the Rejects dodged the energy orb… well all except for one. Gage couldn't react in time as the orb hit him on the face and it resulted in a shockwave sending his head flying out of his body for the second time in a row and it hit one of the racks knocking down some of the equipment stored inside.
"Mierda!" swore Gage as his head landed on the ground.
"Gage!" exclaimed the Rejects and Double D turning to Gage's headless body who was crawling on the floor searching for his head.
"Estoy bien!" called out Gage's head while his body did a thumbs up.
"Get yer head back in thuh game Gage!" called out Gunny "No pun intended!" he added while reloading his pistol.
"No jodas Sherlock!" shouted back Gage's head in annoyance.
"*Gulp!* They're getting… closer…" said Double D nervously while slowly crawling back when all of a sudden, he felt something touch his right hand.
"Huh?" he said as he felt whatever he touched and grasped it before looking at it and gasped.
What was in his hand was some kind of buckle. It was bulky with a gray color scheme and it had what looked like a card slot at the center, a red circle on the top right corner that looked like it could light up and on the left side was some kind of switch that acts as a flipping mechanism for the center piece.
"This is one of the buckles used by Kamen Riders Blade and Garren!" exclaimed Double D in a whisper "But… what is it doing here?" he wondered.
He turned to the spot where he got the buckle and saw five cards. One of these cards had a picture of a rust brown stag beetle with a green diamond on back of its' shell and a green background with a gold frame with a lock on the top middle part of the frame. On the left side of the card was a red letter "A" on the upper left corner with a yellow diamond above it and below it facing sideways was the word "CHANGE" in color red and finally below the picture of the stag beetle is the name "Change Stag" with some description below it and to the right of the description is a red letter "A" positioned upside down with a yellow diamond bellow it and two small gold shields above it. This was the Category Ace of Diamonds Change Stag Rouse Card.
Double D picked up said card and gasped as he looked between the buckle and the card "So this is the Garren Buckle…" he muttered "This would allow the user to transform into Kamen Rider Garren…" he uttered.
Double D then picked up the remaining four cards and examined them.
The first one had a picture of a curled-up silver armadillo with bullets on its' back and a purple background with a gold frame with a lock on the top middle part of the frame. On the left side of the card was a red number "2" on the upper left corner with a yellow diamond above it and below it facing sideways was the word "BULLET" in color red and finally below the picture of the armadillo is the name "BULLET ARMADILLO" with some description below it and to the right of the description is a red number "2" positioned upside down with a yellow diamond bellow it and above it was red letters "FP" with a red number "400" and two gold shields below it. This was the Category Two of Diamonds Bullet Armadillo Rouse Card.
The second one had a picture of a gray whale with what looks like some type of hammer for a head and an aquamarine background with a gold frame with a lock on the top middle part of the frame. On the left side of the card was a red number "5" on the upper left corner with a yellow diamond above it and below it facing sideways was the word "DROP" in color red and finally below the picture of the whale is the name "Drop Whale" with some description below it and to the right of the description is a red number "5" positioned upside down with a yellow diamond bellow it and above it was red letters "FP" with a red number "1000" and five gold shields below it. This was the Category Five of Diamonds Drop Whale Rouse Card.
The third one had a picture of a leaping green frog with spikes on its' head and a magenta background with a gold frame with a lock on the top middle part of the frame. On the left side of the card was a red number "3" on the upper left corner with a yellow diamond above it and below it facing sideways was the word "UPPER" in color red and finally below the picture of the frog is the name "Upper Frog" with some description below it and to the right of the description is a red number "3" positioned upside down with a yellow diamond bellow it and above it was red letters "FP" with a red number "600" and three gold shields below it. This was the Category Three of Diamonds Upper Frog Rouse Card.
And the last card had a picture of a red mechanical looking firefly with fire coming out of its' bottom and a red background with an aquamarine frame with a lock on the top middle part of the frame. On the left side of the card was a red number "6" on the upper left corner with a yellow diamond above it and below it facing sideways was the word "FIRE" in color red and finally below the picture of the firefly is the name "Firefly" with some description below it and to the right of the description is a red number "6" positioned upside down with a yellow diamond bellow it and above it was blue letters "MP" with a blue number "1000" and one blue shield with crossed swords below it. This was the Category Six of Diamonds Firefly Rouse Card.
"These must be some of Garren's rouse cards…" said Double D observing the cards, he then looked around and raised an eyebrow "Where are the other cards?" he wondered.
Suddenly, the Change Stag Rouse Card started to glow a green aura "What the?!" said Double D with wide eyes "What's going on?" he asked himself. He stared at the card before turning to the Garren Buckle. As if on instinct, he slowly inserted the card into the buckle as it fit in place.
A few moments ago…
Gage's body was crawling around for his head as his hands were practically touching the whole floor trying to feel his head, all the while everyone was under fire from the pirates.
"Aqui! Aqui!" called out Gage's head as his body strangely heard him.
"Sigue mi voz! Sigue mi voz!" called out Gage's head as his body was now across from him to his right "Ve a la derecha!" he told his body to move right as his body listened, but it moved left instead, making his body's butt facing him "No! Giro de vuelta!" his body then turned around and crawled forward but his head wasn't in front of him.
"No! Espere! Espere! Detener!" warned Gage's head but it was too late because his body hit the rack next to him, causing something to fall on top of his head before landing next to him.
"Ay!" exclaimed Gage in pain "No... eso es un estante de armas" he said with a deadpanned looked.
Gage's body hitting the weapon rack caused a noise that startled Double D who by that time inserted the rouse card into the buckle.
"Yipe!" exclaimed Double D startled as he dropped the buckle which fell on his waist and it caused a silver cards to come out of the buckle and wrap around Double D's waist creating a silver belt in the process before it started to make some kind of pulsing sound.
"Huh?!" exclaimed Double D in surprise as he attempted to remove the buckle but to no avail.
Back with Gage, he was still trying to get his body to reach his head when he took notice of the item that fell on his head and was now sitting next to him "Qué?" he said with a raised eyebrow taking a look at whatever hit his head.
It looked like some kind of watch and it was neon yellow with a neon yellow button, a metal silver colored round cover with four square-like corners above and below it and it looked like it could split open and it has a picture of what looks like a yellow mask with a red visor and crossed wrenches over it.
"No hay forma..." muttered Gage's head with wide eyes as his body managed to finally pick him up and attach him back in place as Gage picked up the watch "Este es el Kamen Rider Kikai Miridewatch!" he exclaimed in surprise.
"Hey! What er thuh both a ya doin?!" exclaimed Gunny towards Gage and Double D.
This startled the both of them and two things happened at the same time.
With Gage, He accidentally activated the Kikai Miridewatch pressing the button on top.
KIKAI!
Announced the Miridewatch in a slightly shrill voice as a hologram of the face lit up and the watch immediately disappeared surprising Gage. Suddenly, he felt a large amount of data surge into him as his eyes widened and started to light up with yellow number codes. From everyone's point of view, Gage looked like he was in some kind of trance, making him an easy target.
"Hey! Gage, look out!" exclaimed Gunny as he saw a couple of Battle Raiders and Riotroopers pointed their Tridenta SMGs and Axelayguns at Gage while he was in a trance. They open fired as a barrage of bullets headed for the android Reject and reduce him to scrap.
But before that happened, a blue rectangular energy wall appeared cancelling out the pirates' attacks. It had a holographic picture of the Change Stag on it.
"What in Sam Hill?!" exclaimed Gunny in surprise upon seeing the wall.
A few moments ago, at the same time when Gage activated the Miridewatch…
"Hey! What er thuh both a ya doin?!" The moment, he heard Gunny's sudden loud voice, Double D got startled, abruptly standing up and he also accidentally pulled the switch of the Garren Buckle on his waist.
TURN UP!
The buckle announced as the center of the buckle flipped revealing a gold diamond with white outlines and green background on the other side. The red circle on the top right corner of the belt glowed green as the buckle emitted a blue glowing aura and a big blue energy wall with a picture of the Change Stag appeared in front of Double D and luckily, it was also in front of Gage who was in a trance as the energy managed to block out the attacks sent by the Battle Raiders and Riotroopers.
"What in Sam Hill?!" Gunny exclaimed as he along with Caboose, Dan, Vern and the pirates saw it.
"What in the bloody hell is that?!" exclaimed Vern in surprise.
"No way! That's a-!" exclaimed Dan somehow recognizing the energy wall.
"What in the name is that?!" exclaimed Retha.
"Ooh~! A beetle!" exclaimed Bork upon seeing the stag beetle on the energy wall.
The wall suddenly started to move towards Double D who was somehow overwhelmed about this and started to slowly take a few steps backwards.
Dan took notice "Eddward stop! Let the energy wall go through you!" he told him.
"Huh?! You want me to what?!" said Double D with wide eyes.
"Don't move a muscle and let the energy wall go to you! Trust me!" the nerd Reject told him.
Double D snapped out of it and immediately understood what's going on "Right!" he said with a nod as the energy wall came closer to him.
"DOUBLE D! DON'T FORGET TO SAY HENSHIN!" called out Caboose.
"Uh! Henshin!?" exclaimed Double D hastily as the wall came upon him and harmlessly phased through him.
When it got through him, someone new was standing in place of Double D.
The person in question was clad in a red body suit with red straps, one on either upper arms, two on either thighs, silver chestplate with a diamond at the center, silver diamond shaped shoulder pauldrons with gold diamonds on them, silver forearm pads, gold brace cuffs, red armored gloves with silver knuckles, silver knee pads, silver greaves, red and silver boots with silver spur-like parts on the back of the boots and a red helmet with a silver mask in the shape of a stag beetle with a bit of gold and two green circular eye visors. He also had a pistol holstered on the right side of his belt on a red pistol holder with a diamond symbol on it. This was none other than Double D… or as what he's known as in his transformed state… Kamen Rider Garren.
"WHAAAAAA?!" exclaimed everyone minus Gage (who was still in a trance) and Dan, gawking at the rider.
Double D or Garren started to feel his mask with his hands "Huh? What? WHA?!" he exclaimed in shock as he looked at his hands "DID I JUST TRANSFORM?!" he exclaimed.
"OH! MY! GOD! DOUBLE D BECAME KAMEN RIDER GARREN!" exclaimed Caboose in excitement.
"Sweet jibbly jiblets!" exclaimed Gunny with wide eyes.
"This is so bloody unreal…" said Vern in disbelief.
"You gotta be kidding me!" said Retha in disbelief.
Dan was the first to snap out of it "Eddward! You're a Kamen Rider now! Fight!"
"Huh?!" said Garren turning to Dan before remembering the situation they're in "Oh right!" he said as he reached for his weapon.
"Oh no you don't!" exclaimed Retha as the kangaroo open fired with her blunderblasters aimed at Garren.
Luckily, Garren was able to react in time and rolled out of the way but unfortunately the shot hit somewhere near Gage who was still in a trance and it caused him to fall onto the floor.
"Hey! Tha's mah brother ya dirtbag!" shouted Gunny as he charged in head on towards the enemies.
"Gunny!" exclaimed Dan as he gave his leader cover fire with his plasma rifles followed by Vern who switched his Austyer Rifle for his Type-25 Spiker Rifle, Caboose who open fired with his Nova Machine Gun and even Garren who took out his weapon from his holster and open fired.
The weapon was a red, silver, green and gold pistol with a bulky looking barrel, red and black handle grip, a green and gold accented rectangle with a silver diamond on either side of the pistol and a number meter on the right side of the barrel which currently had the number "5500" depicting its attack points or "AP". This is the Garren Rouzer, Garren's personal weapon.
Gunny charged forward with a yell as he struck his opponents with punches and kicks and even pistol whipped them on the head.
"Haha! How do ya like that pirate dirtbags!" he taunted as he punched another pirate while dodging and blocking attacks from the Battle Raiders and Riotroopers.
Gunny then came toe to toe with a Sangheili as they fought against each other, Energy Sword against fists and pistol.
"Gunny look out!" called out Dan who noticed about four Kig-Yar Jackal pirates charge at him from behind Energy Cutlasses in hand as they yelled.
Luckily, as quick as lightning…
*BANG-BANG-BANG-BANG!*
Gunny shot down the jackals dropping them dead.
"Haha~! How d'ya like that dirtbags!" he taunted while spinning his pistol before pointing his colt pistol back to his original opponent… Only for the Sangheili pirate to chop his pistol in half with his energy sword cutting off the barrel along with half of the revolving chamber rendering it useless.
Gunny just stared at what was left of his beloved pistol with a blank look as nobody moved as if they sensed the atmosphere around them as they stared at Gunny and the Sangheili.
The Sangheili just stood there waiting for his opponent to make a move. Gunny just continued to stare at his destroyed pistol with his eyes shadowed until he looked towards the Sangheili with a dark look and for some reason, it made him flinch.
(Insert Superior Defender Gundam Force OST – Zako Soldier)
"That… was ma granpapies gun…" he said "YA REPTILE DIRTBAG!" he shouted before suddenly lunging at the Sangheili taking the alien pirate off-guard as he didn't have time to react before the red jacket wearing Reject tackled him to the floor, causing the pirate to drop his Energy Sword. And the next thing everyone knew, Gunny and the Sangheili pirate were in a dust cloud beating each other up.
Everyone just stared at the sight and didn't know what to think of it.
"What am I looking at?" asked Garren.
"That's simply just Gunny turned angry after someone hurts or breaks something valuable of his" explained Dan casually.
"I… see…" said Garren with a sweatdrop.
Retha snapped out of it as she shook her head "OY! Quit your gawking and kill 'em you Arse wipes!" shouted Retha before the other pirates snapped out of it and open fired at the remaining Rejects and Garren retaliated with firing their weapons.
'I wonder…' thought Garren as he switched the hold of his Garren Rouzer and reached for the top back part of it and pulled it revealing a built-in Open Tray in a fan-like formation filled with 12 Rouse Cards, four of them were the cards he found along with the Change Stag rouse card while the remaining cards were blank.
Remembering how the Garren Rouzer works in the show, Garren took one card and slid it through the card reader located on the top front part of the barrel.
BULLET!
Announced the Garren Rouzer as the sound of beeping was heard indicating a number of AP being used as the AP Meter decreased from 5500 to 5100 while the card itself turned into a blue energy hologram of the card and got absorbed into the Garren Rouzer and as well as the open tray folding itself back into the Rouzer.
Garren then switched the hold of his weapon back to his right hand and fired a couple of enhanced bullet rounds at the Battle Raiders and Riotroopers sending them flying.
One of the Raiders retaliated with rapid fire in which Garren dodged out of the way.
INVADING BOLIDE!
The Raider charged up his weapon, aimed and fired an energy orb as it headed towards Dan.
"Uh oh!" exclaimed Dan seeing that he didn't have time to dodge it.
Suddenly, a hand stopped it in its' tracks surprising everyone and what was even more surprising was that the one who stopped the energy orb in its' tracks was none other than Gage now back on his feet.
"Gage!" exclaimed everyone.
"Carga completa" said Gage as before hurling the energy orb at the Sangheili pirate who was currently pinning Gunny on the floor choking him with the latter trying to pry the alien off of him. The Sangheili managed to take notice of the orb heading straight towards him before ending up getting sent flying by it, freeing Gunny as a result.
The red Southerner stood up and turned to his brother "Hehe… thanks fer that Gage, I owe ya one!" he said giving his younger twin a thumbs up.
"No hay problema" said Gage with a thumbs up "Y ahora que he vuelto, puedo dar rienda suelta a mi nuevo poder!" he said.
"Huh nd thuh what now?" said Gunny.
"It seems that your brother has obtained some kind of new power" spoke Garren as everyone turned to him while they continued to open fire at the pirates and cover for Gunny.
"Huh? How'd ya know?" asked Gunny.
"For some reason, my rider form has this built-in translator, allowing me to understand multiple languages" explained Garren.
"Meaning, he can understand what Gage is saying" said Dan in layman's term.
"I see…" said Gunny with a nod before turning to his brother "Well? What're ya waitin for? If you got a new power, then use it!" he said while dodging a plasma shot from an Unggoy Grunt and punching a charging ratman.
Gage narrowed his eyes as he took out a small yellow wrench held on his right hand called the Spannerder and a small yellow screwdriver held on his left hand called the Screwder. Gage's eyes briefly glowed electric blue before some kind of buckle appeared around his waist out of electric blue energy.
The buckle was solid gray and it looked like it could be some kind of big digital clock with a button on top and it had two slots on either side of it that looked like an item could be attached on either side. This was the Miraidriver.
Gage tossed the Spannerder upwards as it spun in the air before catching it again and held it across his left and said "Henshin!" before crossing it with the Screwder and attaching both of them to the middle of the Miraidriver turning it into the Kikaidriver.
DEKAI! HAKAI! GO~KAI! KAMEN RIDER… KIKAI!
Pieces of armor digitally materialized and attached themselves onto Gage and formed into the rest of his armor while a number of wrenches and screwdrivers appeared and bolted them into place before a pair of crossed double ended wrenches attached themselves onto his faceplate completing his transformation, releasing steam from the armor.
This caused everyone to stop and cover their eyes due to the sudden incoming steam. When it settled, everyone was shocked to see what became of the android Reject.
He was now clad in a black bodysuit with yellow, red, white and black armor composed of a yellow and red chestplate with white wire and circuit patterns, black and yellow shoulder armor, black and yellow bracers, black gloves with yellow armor on top of the palms, black and white circuit patterned thigh armor, knee pads and greaves and black boots with black and yellow ankle armor, red bolts holding his armor in place and a yellow and silver helmet with a reddish visor and a pair of white and yellow accented crossed wrenches in front of the visor with the top part of the wrenches serving like horns. Gage Samson, Gunny's younger twin brother had become… Kamen Rider Kikai.
Everyone stared in awe and shock.
"Un cuerpo de acero… y un corazón de fuego! Kamen Rider Kikai!" Kikai announced doing his signature pose from Kamen Rider Zi-Oas his visor glowed.
Everyone continued to gawk at him.
"OH! MY! GOD! GAGE HAS BECOME A KAMEN RIDER!" exclaimed Caboose.
"Hahahaha~! Gage, ya son of a gun!" said Gunny as he turned to the pirates with a confident smile "Yer in fer it now ya pirate dirtbags!" he said.
"We'll see about that! Get 'em!" commanded Retha after snapping out of it followed by everyone else as they proceeded to attack them with a Jiralhanae charging towards Gunny as the Brute pirate threw a right hook at him, only for a hand to catch it. That hand came from none other than Kamen Rider Kikai, he pushed back the Jiralhanae before throwing his own right hook to the face.
"Gunny!" called out the voice of Dan as Gunny turned to him and saw him unslung the Mossberg Maverick 88 Shotgun from his back "Catch!" he said tossing it to Gunny who caught the shotgun with ease and pumped it with the sound of *CHNK-CHINK!* "Oh~… yeah~!" said Gunny with a grin.
(Insert Kamen Rider Zero-One Soundtrack – Kamen Rider Zero-One Theme)
With a yell, Gunny open fired with his newly acquired shotgun on the pirates, sending each and every one of them flying and whenever one pirate would dare come close to him, he'd respond with a shotgun blast and his friends and Garren continued to give him support fire.
With Kikai, he continued to throw his punches on the Brute as he threw rapid punches at him followed by a couple of kicks, he then put his hands to the sides of his Kikaidriver as it ignited with blue electricity and as well as sparkling ice energy, Kikai then got into a stance as the energy travelled to his right leg until it reached his foot as it ignited with electric and ice energy.
KIKAI DE HAKAI DA!
He executed a spin kick sending the Brute pirate flying while simultaneously electrifying him and it also caused the Brute's Type-52 Mauler Pistol to fly out of him and Kikai caught it without even looking.
"Gunny! Captura!" Kikai called out tossing the Jiralhanae weapon at Gunny who caught it just in time to shoot an incoming Riotrooper with it.
"Hmm… not bad…" said Gunny admiring his newly acquired sidearm.
The group continued to fight off the pirates and they seem to be getting the upper hand thanks to Double D and Gage's newly acquired powers. And as they continued to fight, they didn't notice that Ed's unconscious form started to glow a golden color.
Caboose on the other hand was the only one who did take notice "Hey~? Why's Ed glowing?" he asked out loud but unfortunately it fell on deaf ears.
Retha started to get extremely ticked off "That's it!" she exclaimed annoyingly as she pulled out a rocket launcher "Time to unleash the heavy artillery!" she said taking aim.
Seeing this alarmed everyone present "RETHA NO! YOU'LL BLOW UP THE SHIP IF YOU UNLEASH THAT!" Bork pleaded in fear trying to reason with the angry kangaroo.
"SHUT IT BORK!" she snapped, causing the ogre to shut up.
"Oh no!" exclaimed Dan in panic.
"I don't think our rider powers can do anything to stop that!" said Garren in alarm.
Retha chuckled while aiming her rocket launcher at the Rejects and Garren.
Suddenly… a bright golden light shined the room surprising everyone.
"What the?! What the bloody hell is that?!" exclaimed Retha shielding her eyes.
"It's coming from them!" exclaimed Bork pointing at the source which was the Rejects' side and the source of the light was actually right next to Caboose.
"Caboose! What's happening!?" called out Dan covering his eyes from the light.
"Something is happening to Ed!" exclaimed Caboose covering his eyes and despite wearing sunglasses, the light was too bright and it was as if you were looking straight at the sun.
"What?!" exclaimed Garren with wide eyes behind his helmet while also covering his eyes from the brightness despite wearing a helmet.
When the light died down, everyone had their eyes widen in shock for the third time in a row because of who they saw standing in place of where the light came from.
Back with the other half of the Rejects and Eddy, they continued to wait for Beastly and his group of Battle Raiders and Riotroopers to stop their barrage and it seemed like it was taking forever.
"MY GOD! HOW MUCH AMMO DO THESE ASSHOLES HAVE?!" exclaimed Lenny in annoyance.
"Beats me!" said Eddy as he sat up from his cover and open fired "Eat lead pirate scum!" he shouted but then a pirate made a lucky shot and disarmed Eddy of his weapon which got sent flying "AHH!" exclaimed Eddy before ducking back to cover.
"HAHAHAHAAAA! WHO'S THE MUTT NOW YA REJECTS!" taunted Beastly as he and his group continued to open fire.
"STILL YOU, ASSHOLE!" taunted back Lenny as he sat up from his cover and aimed with his PSG1 Sniper Rifle.
*BANG!* *BANG!* *BANG!* *BANG!* *BANG!*
He missed all five shots.
"AW, COME ON!" shouted Lenny ducking back to cover while the pirates laughed.
"Time to use this then!" said Nate as he got out of cover and took out his M32 Grenade Launcher.
"Wait? What?!" exclaimed Lenny turning to Nate who aimed the grenade launcher.
"Fire in the hole!" exclaimed Nate as he fired a grenade at the pirates.
"Oh…" said Lenny with wide eyes.
"Fragging…" said David also with wide eyes.
"HELL!" exclaimed Beastly as he saw the grenade heading towards them "HIT THE DECK!" he exclaimed as he and the other pirates lunged or ducked for cover and the same went with the Rejects and Eddy.
They waited for the big boom…
They waited…
And waited…
But nothing happened.
"Huh?" said Beastly as he looked around and noticed that nothing happened, no explosion, no boom, nothing...
"What the heck's going on?!" he demanded as he and the other pirates stood up confused.
"Uh… sir?" said a Riotrooper picking up something from the floor.
Beastly turned to the Riotrooper who showed the Gazimon what he picked up "I think, this is what the pink one fired" he said.
The thing turned out to be some kind of beanbag.
"What?!" exclaimed Beastly taking the beanbag from the Riotrooper in shock.
"Now's your chance guys! Go!" called out Nate as the Rejects and Eddy got out of cover.
"Give us some warning next time will ya!" berated Lenny who strapped on his Raidriser.
RAIDRISER!
"Yeah, no kidding" said Tucker, pulling out the silver tray part of the Leangle buckle known as the Card Pull Out from the left side before placing the Change Spider card, sliding it in and strapped it on his waist as a purple cards came out of the buckle wrapping around Tucker's waist creating a purple belt in the before it started making a pulsing sound.
"Huh?!" said Beastly turning to the Rejects after hearing what Nate said.
Lenny then took out his progrise key and pressed the button on the top left side of it.
SEARCH!
He then inserted the key into the raidriser as it made the usual techno tune before he and Tucker said their individual activation commands.
"Equip!" said Lenny as he pressed the Raidriser's button.
"Henshin!" said Tucker as he slid opened the Leangle Buckle revealing a yellow club with a red background and white circular outline and purple outside the white outline.
RAIDRISE! SCOUTING PAN-DA! *Siren wailing sound* There is nothing unknown to his eyes.
OPEN UP!
While black pipes started to gather around Lenny, a purple energy wall with a yellow picture of the Change spider on it appeared from the buckle on Tucker's waist and enlarged in front of him as it proceeded to phase through him.
When Lenny's transformation ended, it resulted in a shockwave, forcing Beastly and the other pirates to duck.
When they looked towards the Rejects, they were shocked to see two new figures standing in front of them.
The first one in Lenny's place was clad in a gray body suit under white thigh armor, greaves and boots, white lower body armor and on their upper body is a white and black chestplate, black and white shoulder pauldrons, white bracer on the right forearm, a black and white armored bracer on the left forearm, white gloves, a white and black helmet with the mouth guard resembling a rebreather gasmask, panda ears on top of the helmet, an orange visor and black goggles with red lens over it. And finally, held on his right hand is a white and black laser rifle called the Dead Monochrome which is connected to a white tube that also connects to a black cylinder diagonally strapped to his back. Leonard McMillan had become… the Scouting Panda Raider.
And the second one in Tucker's place was clad in a dark green body suit with dark green straps, one on either upper arms, two on either thighs, gold chestplate with hints of dark green, dark green armor collar, three silver circles in a tri-formation with black outlines at the center and a black line at the center of the chestplate from the top down to the bottom of the chestplate making a shape of a clover, dark green and gold shoulder pauldrons with gold studs and dark green circles in a tri formation on them, gold brace cuffs on the wrist and upper forearm with two dark blue staps with gold buckles in between on each forearm, dark green armored gloves, gold knee pads, dark green and gold boots with gold and silver spur-like parts on the back of the boots and three dark green belts wrapped around in between with gold buckles at the end and a dark green and gold cylindrical shaped helmet with a gold mask in the shape of a spider with three red dots on the forehead, silver chin, silver antenna part at the top front resembling spider fangs and two purple circular eye visors. He also had two silver clubs located on either side of the front of his neck and a dark green and gold rectangular container with a silver patch at the center with a gold club on it on the right side of his belt called the Card Deck... Tucker Jensen became… Kamen Rider Leangle.
Beastly and the pirates gawked at the sight of the trio's new forms while David, Cliff and Vern looked astonished with the former of the three humming in response as he was impressed.
Lenny and Tucker took a look at themselves and they had different or similar reactions.
"Hmm… not bad" said Lenny looking at his Raider form and looking at his Dead Monochrome.
"Whoa~hoho~! I look awesome!" exclaimed Tucker admiring himself as Leangle while clenching his fists.
"Man... those guys look so cool..." commented Eddy at the sight of Lenny and Tucker's new forms before looking at the rider brace in his hands "If only I could find that thingie" he muttered in frustration.
The pirates continued to stare in shock until Beastly snapped them out of it "Don't think this changes anything!" he said sneered as he pulled out his cutlass "Get 'em!" he commanded while pointing his sword forward as the pirates charged with a shout.
"I don't think so!" said Scouting Panda Raider pointing his Dead Monochrome at the pirates and fired a red laser. This hit a group of pirates and sent them flying.
"Whoa! I got 'em! Did you see that guys! Duh, I mean… man this weapon's awesome!" he said which caused David to slightly chuckle.
Eddy looked down and picked up a cutlass that a pirate dropped and pointed it forward "Prepare to meet your doom pirate scum!" he exclaimed before running towards the pirates with a shout and started slashing them one by one.
Leangle along with Scouting Panda Raider and the rest of the Rejects followed suit as they charged forward and soon the battle began.
(Insert Pirates of the Caribbean – He's a Pirate (Extended))
Leangle ran forward and on instict held his hand forward as purple aura glowed before it died down revealing a weapon.
Said weapon was a black short staff with a spear on one side with a dark green and white color scheme with a purple oval at the top, silver, dark green and gold ring shaped spear head with three gold dots at the top, a dark green, gold and silver scanner device at the back end with a purple stripe and a number meter on the side which currently had the number "6000" depicting its attack points or "AP". This was the Leangle Rouzer, Leangle personal weapon.
Leangle extended his weapon turning it into a full-length staff allowing two more spearheads to unfold from the top making a club formation turning the rouzer into a long spear before swinging it at a few Battle Raiders and Riotroopers knocking them to the floor. Leangle then proceeded with a right hook to a Riotrooper's face followed by jab from the back end of his weapon at a Battle Raider before doing a side kick towards a Ratman pirate. Next, he held the Leangle Rouzer with the scanner facing forward before he slid opened the Card Deck to his right hip and pulled out one of his cards.
"Let's give this a shot!" said Leangle before he slid the card through the reader.
RUSH!
Announced Leangle's Rouzer before the sound of beeping was heard indicating decrease in AP as the meter decreased from 6000 to 5200 while the card turned into a blue energy hologram before it got absorbed into Leangle's armor.
A pirate meanwhile attempted to tackle him from behind by the time the card got absorbed into the rider but just when the pirate was upon him, Leangle dodged at high speed surprising him "Nice try bucko!" taunted Leangle who appeared behind the pirate before kicking him forward. The pirate stumbled forward before turning to Leangle with a growl and swung his cutlass at him, only for Leangle to block it with the shaft of his Rouzer and retaliated with a swing of his energy sword. The result was the cutlass getting cut in half.
"Uh oh…" said the pirate looking at what's left of his cutlass before he was struck down by Leangle "Who's next?" challenged Leangle with both weapons in hand using his energy sword for offense and the Leangle Rouzer for defense.
With Scouting Panda Raider, he was using his Dead Monochrome as a makeshift melee weapon on some of the pirates who'd run close to him before using it to shoot down more of them, either sending them flying or even vaporizing them "Come and get some assholes!" he taunted before something lunged onto his back. Luckily, he managed to maintain his balance.
He started attempt to shake off whatever was on him, he managed to take a glimpse on what was on him "Hey! Get off me you little Grunt!" he said as what was on him revealed to be an Unggoy.
*BANG!* *BANG!* *BANG!*
"AAHHH!" screamed the Unggoy as a small number of bullets hit him and sent him to the floor and Scouting Panda Raider finished him off with a shot to his head with his weapon.
"Thanks David!" he called out looking towards David McMillan who had his Barretta pistol pointed forward with the barrel smoking.
"No problem!" replied David before he ducked from an incoming swing from a minotaur pirate and retaliating with unloading a few bullets at it knocking it down to the floor. David then took out one of his acquired Yaka Arrows and used it as a makeshift stabbing weapon as he continued to fight against the other pirates.
With Cliff, he was with Nate and Eddy. They were back-to-back with each other as they fought against a lot of pirates including the Riotroopers and Battle Raiders with Cliff using the blade portion of his christened "Cliff Shot" to hack and slash his opponents, Nate shooting down his opponents with his MP7A1 Machine Pistol and Eddy using the cutlass he took from one of the pirates to strike incoming opponents on his side.
"Haha! Alright! Beat that pirate scum!" gloated Cliff as he side-kicked one Riotrooper to his left.
"En garde pirate boys! Come and get some!" shouted Eddy swinging his cutlass at incoming pirates. After striking down another pirate, an Unggoy Grunt, he picked up its' weapon which was a Type-54 Plasma Pistol and open fired at more incoming pirates.
Beastly was getting frustrated "You think just because you got new toys, you're so tough!? I'll show you tough!" he exclaimed as he jumped up to the air with a yell as he had his cutlass ready to do a downward slash and he was aiming for Scouting Panda Raider who was preoccupied.
"Lenny! Lookout!" warned David.
Scouting Panda Raider looked up just in time to see Beastly falling towards him "Not this time ya mutt!" said the younger McMillan brother as he slammed his hand on the button of his Raidriser.
SCOU-TING~ BOLIDE!
He took aim with his Dead Monochrome while it started to charge up with red energy.
Beastly didn't have any time to move as he was in midair and the only thing that he could do was purse his lips with a dumbfounded look "Aw… shoot…" he said before a powerful laser blast hit him head on sending him through the ceiling creating a hole in the process.
Back at the top deck, Captain Roark along with the remainder of his main crew composed of Amunet Nader, Gale Tidus, Walsh Norton, Merbius and Axel Les Cinq were lounging around the top deck waiting for the Eds and Rejects to come out when all of a sudden, a powerful red laser burst out from the floor of the top deck startling them and from the laser, came Beastly who rocketed skywards screaming his head off as Roark and the others looked on taken aback by this.
Suddenly, a small group of Battle Raiders came falling from the sky and landed on the top deck unconscious and some of them even groaned in pain. It was soon followed by Beastly who was covered in soot and smoking while he twitching.
"Hmm…" hummed Roark with narrowed eyes, wondering what's happening down there.
Back on the bottom deck, the pirates looked on in shock at what happened to their acting leader.
"Boss!" called out one of the Gazimon pirates looking at the hole where Beastly was shot through.
"Dang! I'm awesome!" exclaimed Scouting Panda Raider praising his achievement.
"You'll pay for this you punks!" shouted a random pirate as the Riotroopers and Battle Raiders readied their weapons at the Rejects.
"I don't think so!" said Cliff as he aimed his Cliff Shot at them.
"Oh… forgot about that…" said one of the pirates.
"Say hello~ to my little friend!" Cliff exclaimed and fired a grenade at the group of pirates, Riotroopers and Battle Raiders.
"Oh… SHOOT!" exclaimed Scouting Panda Raider and Leangle in panic.
"Run awaaayyy!" exclaimed Nate.
"Aw, god…" said David.
"AAHHH! Hit the deck!" exclaimed Eddy dropping his weapons before he and the rest of the Rejects minus Cliff ran for cover.
The grenade hit the group which resulted in an explosion that created a slight tremor on the ship.
Captain Roark and the other half of his main crew felt the tremor on their ship as some of them held onto something.
"What in who's ocean's name is going on down there?" said the chimp captain with a frown.
Half of the bottom deck was now a mess, some stuff were out of place and even some vehicles were turned over but miraculously, the cargo was still okay. The pirates groaned as they lied on the floor, some slightly unconscious and some were bruised but some of them were okay and incapacitated.
Cliff was seen lying on the floor near a crate laughing like a crazy person with his Cliff Shot sitting next to him "Ahahahaha… let's do it again" he said weakly while slightly disoriented.
Suddenly, Eddy appeared out of nowhere and sat on top of him and he started to choke him "WHAT'S WRONG WITH YOU HUH?! ARE YOU TRYING TO KILL US ALL?!" he berated while shaking him in his choke hold.
"Ek! E-ek! Ek!" was Cliff's response with his tongue sticking out.
"Calm down will ya!" said David prying Eddy out of the slacker reject.
"Let me at 'em! Let me at 'em!" protested Eddy trying to get out of David's grasp.
"Ugh! Give us a little warning next time before you fire a grenade!" berated Scouting Panda Raider as he, Leangle and Nate got out of cover.
"Are you alright Cliff?" asked Nate in concern. Cliff just let out a weak laugh in response.
"Why you little punks…" said a voice. The Rejects and Glaive turned to see the remaining pirates who were conscious, most of them were Riotroopers and Battle Raiders "Ya'll gonna pay for this!" said a Riotrooper struggling to stay standing while pointing his Axelaygun in gun mode at them, albeit with a shaky hand.
The Rejects and Eddy gave them a deadpanned looked, obviously seeing that they can't continue fighting.
Leangle turned to David "Can I deal with these punks?" he asked David who nodded in response while putting Eddy down.
Leangle approached the remaining pirates who held out their weapons at them "I'm gonna give you two choices…" he said holding out his Leangle Rouzer on his left hand "One, you can all leave…" he said while slide opening his Card Deck "Or two, you can all taste my power…" he threatened while pulling out a card.
The Riotrooper just scoffed "As if that'll scare us!" he said defiantly.
"Okay… your funeral then…" said Leangle as he slid the card through the his Rouzer's reader.
BLIZZARD!
The card turned into a blue energy hologram as said hologram got absorbed into the Leangle's Rouzer as ice particles started to swirl around it. The Riotroopers and Battle Raiders started to get nervous.
"Um… I think we'll just leave… and-" said the same defiant Riotrooper before he was interrupted.
"Too late for that assholes! Freeze!" exclaimed Leangle twirling his Rouzer allowing the spear tip to face forwards before the rider thrust it forward sending a white snowy blizzard at the remaining Riotroopers and Battle Raiders sending them flying and screaming before landing on the floor all frozen in defeat... literally.
"Well… That's that" said Scouting Panda Raider seeing that the place was clear.
"I couldn't agree more" agreed David with a nod.
Suddenly, they felt another tremor on the ship which came from above them.
"Whoa! What was that!?" exclaimed Cliff abruptly sitting up.
"Seriously?! Only now you get up!?" exclaimed Scouting Panda Raider in annoyance.
"Ha ha… Panda" said Cliff pointing at Scouting Panda Raider depicting that he was still slightly disoriented and that earned him a whack on the head from said Raider's Dead Monochrome.
"Shut up!" shouted Scouting Panda Raider.
"Well… to answer your question Cliff, that was probably the others upstairs" said David.
"Heh! I bet they already dealt with their group of pirates" said Eddy looking up at the ceiling with a smirk.
"If that's the case, let's go back to the top deck so we can get out of here" said David.
"I second that!" said Scouting Panda Raider.
"Yeah, the sooner we get out of here and meet up with the others, the sooner we can get back home" agreed Leangle.
"WAIT!" called out Eddy.
"What now?" frowned Scouting Panda Raider behind his helmet.
"What about my Zect thingie?" said Eddy.
"You're what?" said Cliff confused.
"He means the TheBee Zecter, it's a mechanical looking bee that'll allow Eddy to transform into a Kamen Rider" said Leangle.
"WE DON'T HAVE TIME TO LOOK FOR THAT!" shouted Scouting Panda Raider annoyed.
"I'm afraid that I'll have to agree with him Eddy" said David "Time is of the essence and we won't be able to regroup with everyone else in time if we continue to search for the Zecter" he reasoned.
"We don't have to!" said Nate optimistically confusing everyone else.
"Huh? What do you mean Nate?" asked Leangle.
Nate turned to Eddy "Eddy, you already have the rider brace right?" he asked the former scam artist.
"Yeah, I do" said Eddy showing said Brace.
"Then put it on your left wrist and the Zecter will respond to you" he said.
Everyone stayed silent for a moment before Eddy spoke up "Oh yeah... why didn't I think of that before..." he said.
"Yeah, me either... hehe..." chuckled Leangle sheepishly while rubbing the back of his neck.
Scouting Panda Raider and David face palmed in response "Idiots..." uttered the former.
Eddy proceeded to strap the Rider Brace on his left wrist. Once he did nothing happened for a few seconds... until a loud *THUMP!* was heard.
"What was that?" asked Eddy as another thump was heard, followed by another... and another as everyone looked around for the source of the thumping until they found the source of the thumping which was from the crate Eddy and Leanlge were searching through.
"There!" said Leangle as he and everyone else went to the crate and removed a few stuff from it before they found the source of the thumping. It revealed to be a metal box with the ZECT logo on it. Before anyone could reach for it, the box burst open allowing something to fly out of it in a quick pace.
"AH!" exclaimed Eddy and everyone startled as the sudden burst caused them to step back and some of them even fell on their bottom.
"Whooohooo! Finally, after being offline for so long I'm free!" said a voice in excitement.
"WHAT! THE?!" exclaimed everyone in shock as they looked up to see something flying around above them.
When it stopped flying around, it revealed itself to be a mechanical looking bee with a silver and black striped body with a silver ring on its' abdomen, an orange button on top of its' thorax, two black crescent shaped eyes, two transparent gold wings and a gold tip at the end of his abdomen. It also had small four hover boosters which emitted red flames allowing it to hover and fly in the air.
"Man... it sure feels good to fly about!" said the mechanical bee before taking notice of the Rejects and Eddy gawking at it "Oh, hey there! How's it goin?" it greeted.
"Did... did that thing just talk?!" exclaimed Cliff in disbelief.
"Hey! I'm not just A THING, I'm the TheBee Zecter!" said the now identified TheBee Zecter.
"A Zecter that can talk!" exclaimed Leangle "That's never happened before!" he pointed out.
"Anyway, since I'm online, which one of you is wearing the Rider Brace?" questioned TheBee Zecter.
"That would be me" said Eddy showing TheBee Zecter the Rider Brace on his left wrist albiet still stunned at the site of the talking Zecter.
"Awesome!" cheered TheBee Zecter as it flew to Eddy "Guess this means you and I will be partners from now on!" it said "What's your name kid?" it asked.
"Eddy... Eddy Skipper McGee" responded Eddy still stunned.
"Nice to meet ya Eddy!" said the TheBee Zecter in a cheerful tone.
"Hold up!" said Ciff getting the talking Zecter's attention "How is it that a mechanical bee like you can talk?! I don't remember you guys being able to talk!" said Cliff in disbelief.
"Well... I'm talking right now and to you guys no less" said TheBee Zecter.
"How is that possible?" questioned Scouting Panda Raider.
"It's a long story" was the Zecter's response.
"Well, the long story will have to wait" said David getting everyone's attention "We've already wasted enough time as it is, we gotta regroup with the others" he reasoned.
"Right!" responded everyone else.
"I'll explain our situation while we regroup with everyone else..." said Eddy trailing off in thought "Uh... sorry but should I still call you TheBee Zecter?" asked Eddy.
"Well... if you want, you can give me nickname" said TheBee Zecter "I don't mind whatever it is" he said.
"Really?" hummed Eddy in thought while he and the Rejects proceeded to leave the lower deck "Then in that case, how about I call you Stinger, since TheBee's attack needs your stinger to work, plus I think it's a cool name" said Eddy.
"Stinger huh...?" thought TheBee Zecter in thought "I like it! You can call me Stinger from now on!" said the newly annointed Stinger.
"Sweet!" said Eddy with a grin as the group continued on their way.
Awhile ago, during the first half of the Rejects and Double D's shootout with the pirates…
Ed opened his eyes and looked around, he found himself in some strange void of some sorts.
"Where am I? What is this place?" he asked himself before he gasped with wide eyes "Could it be that I have ended up in the infinite void of nothingness and there is no way out?!" he exclaimed, putting his hands on his cheeks in dramatic shock.
"No young one… this is merely the inside of your consciousness" said a sudden male voice.
Ed turned around and saw a figure approach him. When the figure came into view, the lovable dimwit of the Eds gasped.
The figure revealed himself to be someone clad in a black body suit under black and silver accented armor composed of a black and silver chestplate with a big green hexagonal diamond with a silver frame in the middle of his chest, a yellow stripe with a black zigzag pattern on the waist area, black and silver accented bulky looking pauldrons with yellow stripes with zigzag patterns on the bottom parts of the pauldrons, black and silver accented upper arm armor, silver elbow guards, black and silver accented bracers, black gloves with black and silver accented top palm armor, black lower armor, black and silver accented thigh armor, silver knee armor pads, black and silver accented greaves and armored boots, a black, silver and gold helmet with a silver and gold accented mouthguard, a black visor with silver accents resembling a knight's visor grill, a green hexagon jewel on the forehead and a pair of gold horns on the sides of the helmet, a black cape with a red interior on his back and finally strapped on the left side of his hip by a black and silver accented strap is the Magna Sword which was sheathed on a black and gold mechanical looking scabbard resembling a gun barrel with a pump mechanism. This was none other than the Magna Defender or to be more precise, his spirit.
"You! You are Magna Defender!" exclaimed Ed in excitement.
"That, I am young Edwin" replied Magna Defender with a nod.
"You know my name? Can you read minds?" asked Ed tilting his head to the side in surprise and wonder.
Magna Defender chuckled "In a way…" he replied "The moment you took hold of my sword, I took a glimpse of your memories" he said.
"Oh~~" said Ed with a nod "How did your sword end up with the pirates?" he asked.
"Well… that is quite the story" said Magna Defender "You see, after the previous wielder of my powers, Mike Corbett sacrificed his powers to allow Terra Venture to escape the Lost Galaxy, it was thought that my powers were long gone but it turned out, it simply scattered across the cosmos" he explained "My Torozord ended up somewhere lost in the stars and what remained of my powers took the form of my sword which floated adrift in space for a long period of time. Until one day, it was picked up by the same pirates you and your companions are currently dealing with now" he said.
"Oh~" said Ed with a nod until he remembered "*Gasp!* Double D! Eddy! Caboose! The others!" he exclaimed in alarm "I need to help them!" he told Magna Defender.
"Fear not young Edwin, for I will bestow upon you the powers of the Magna Defender to help your comrades" he told him which shocked Ed.
"I'm going to become you?!" he said pointing at himself before pointing towards Magna Defender.
Magna Defender nodded "Indeed" he said "Despite some of your quirks, I can sense that you have a kind and pure heart, one that can light the way to others" he said.
Magna Defender then waved his hand towards Ed and his sword appeared floating in front of him as Ed held out his hands as the Magna Sword landed on his hands.
"My weapon… is now yours…" said Magna Defender as Ed's wrists glowed green and from that glow came two things.
On his left wrist was a black and gold accented wrist device with a transparent oval piece with a slot on the left side and on his right wrist is a silver and black accented wrist mounted extendable key with the key tip being a silver and black accented ring. This two-wrist device on Ed's wrists was the Magna Defender Morpher.
Ed looked on in awe with wide eyes as he examined the morpher on his wrists before lifting his head up to Magna Defender.
"You… will be the Magna Defender" said Magna Defender lowering his outstretched arm "Use my powers well young Edwin… and use them wisely" he said and Ed nodded in acceptance of receiving this honor of carrying this mantle.
"Go now young one… your comrades are in need of your help" said Magna Defender.
Ed nodded and with a determined expression, he got into a stance with the Magna Sword held on his right hand in a reversed grip, then twisted the ringed key making it face forward to his fist before extending it.
"Magna Power!" he exclaimed before inserting the key into the morpher on his left wrist and his whole body began to glow a radiant golden color engulfing the whole void in a brilliant golden light.
Back in the present, everyone in the weapons depot and armory stopped their shootout due to the golden light that was emitting in the room and the source of the light actually came from Ed.
"Something is happening to Ed!" exclaimed Caboose covering his eyes despite wearing sunglasses.
"What?!" exclaimed Garren with wide eyes behind his helmet while also covering his eyes from the brightness despite wearing a helmet.
When the light died down, everyone had their eyes widened in shock for the third time in a row because of who they saw standing in place of Ed.
Taking Ed's place was none other than the Magna Defender standing proud in all his glory.
"What in the bloody hell?!" exclaimed Retha in shock.
(Insert Power Rangers Lost Galaxy Theme Instrumental)
"I AM MAGNA DEFENDER! AND YOU SHALL BE DEFEATED BY THE POWER OF MY SWORD!" declared Magna Defender revealing to be Ed as he unsheathed his Magna Sword and pointed it forward, shocking everyone.
"OH! MY! GOD! ED HAS BECOME MAGNA DEFENDER!" Caboose exclaimed in excitement.
"Amazing!" said Garren in awe.
"Increíble!" said Kikai in equal awe.
"Whoa…" said Dan and Vern.
"Hehehe… alright boys! Let's wreck 'em!" exclaimed Gunny with a newly increased moral boost as he open fired with his shotgun at some pirates followed by Vern, Dan and Caboose.
That snapped the pirates out of it again starting with Retha "OI! HOW MANY TIMES ARE WE GONNA FREEZE AND GAWK?! GET THEM!" she ordered and with that the pirates continued to charge in.
That was when Magna Defender jumped up high with Magna Sword raised up and executed a downward slash at one Riotrooper before striking a Battle Raider to his right followed by another to his left.
"Look out!" exclaimed Garren who fired a couple of shots at a Riotrooper who attempted to sneak up on Magna Defender surprising him.
"Thanks, Edd Double-" said Magna Defender turning to Garren before he gasped in surprise "DOUBLE D!?" he exclaimed in surprise "You became a Kamen Rider?!" he said in surprise.
"Indeed, I have" nodded Garren in confirmation "I'll explain after we've dealt with these guys" he said.
Magna Defender nodded before sheathing his sword as the right horn of the guard folded facing reverse before Magna Defender bent the handle into a diagonal position turning the Magna Sword into the Magna Blaster as he pulled it out before pumping it and proceeded to fire a couple of green laser bolts at a few pirates who attempted to come near him and Garren followed suit with firing energy bullets of his own from the Garren Rouzer.
Vern, Dan and Caboose decided to get out of cover and charged forward and with a yell, bashed through some pirates with Caboose leading the charge.
Kikai continued to throw punches and kicks at his opponents before an unexpected blow from a Type-2 Gravity Hammer courtesy of a Jiralhanae Brute sent him flying.
"Maldita sea!" swore Kikai before he landed on the floor near a weapon rack, the impact causing it to shake and making some things fall to the floor next to him and one thing fell on his head.
"Mierda!" Kikai swore, sitting up and rubbing his helmeted head. He then took notice of the item that fell on his head next to him.
It was a progrise key and it had a yellow and black body with the name "Sparking Giraffe" and the ability "Electric" below it. This was the Sparking Giraffe Progrise Key.
"Qué?" said Kikai picking it up "Una clave de progreso?" he said before turning to his left and saw three things on the floor.
The first one looked like a black and yellow highlighted suitcase with a yellow trigger on the handle and judging by its' appearance, it looked like it could turn into a blade. This was the Attache Calibur, the primary and personal weapon of Kamen Rider Zero-One.
The second one also looked similar to the first one but instead of highlighted yellow, it was highlighted with orange and it didn't look like it could turn into a blade like the Attache Calibur.
The last one was also a suitcase but it looked like a folded gatling gun with a dark gray body, silver barrels, a code panel on the top left and a blue and light gray portion with an emblem of light gray initials of "SAUL" with the initials "MPD" above it and at the very top is the sigil "G3" with a pair of light gray wings on either side on the right corner of the suitcase and on the other side of the suitcase was what looked like a rectangular magazine attached to the side. This was the GX-05 Kerberos, one of the personal weapons of Kamen Rider G3-X.
"Qué hacen estas armas aquí?" Kikai questioned before ducking from a sudden plasma bolt from an Unggoy Grunt. "Grr…" Kikai growled with a glare at the grunt behind his helmet before grabbing the Kerberos, remembering how to unlock it, he pressed the buttons "1-3-2" in that order before pressing the top button on the number button's left as a light lit up on the right side of the panel.
RELEASING SAFETY! *Phone ringing sound*
Spoke a robotic voice from the weapon as Kikai slid down the top part of the case making the stock before unfolding the bottom part forming a rifle-style gatling gun.
Kikai held the Kerberos firmly before turning to his group and calling them out.
"Oye! Todos ustedes!" he called out, getting their attention as they stopped fighting.
"Huh?" said Gunny after bashing a pirate's head before turning to see Kikai pointing a rifle-style gatling gun at them making his eyes widen.
"Bajarse!" he warned.
"Mother of all- Everyone, get down!" exclaimed Garren as he, Magna Defender and the rest of the rejects lunged to the floor and Kikai open fired sending a barrage of bullets at the pirates.
Retha, Bork and some pirates managed to duck but others were unfortunate enough to get caught in the Kerberos' line of fire and most of them were Battle Raiders and Riotroopers as they dropped to the floor either incapacitated or injured.
"Si… si… si... siente el poder de Kamen RIder Kikai!" exclaimed Kikai as he started to laugh like a maniac.
"Is Gage always like this?!" Garren asked shocked, looking towards Gunny who kept his head down.
"Not all thuh time, he's mostly like thah whenever he's close ta winnin in our Halo Marathon games or the other first person shooter games we have back home" he said.
"Then I guess it's bad when he's actually shooting an actual gun!" concluded Garren with fright.
"Probably!" said Dan.
"At least tha's one advantage we got!" commented Gunny.
INVADING BOLIDE!
Some of the Battle Raiders activated their Raidrisers and their left gauntlets emitted red energy creating shields and they formed a wall to repel the barrage of bullets coming from the android rider and they slowly approached him.
"Uh oh…" said Dan taking notice.
"Not good!" said Vern.
"Hehe… looks like the tables have turned!" said Retha with a smug grin.
"Yeah! Alright!" said Bork cheerfully.
Suddenly from out of nowhere, a powerful red laser blast came from out of nowhere below the Raiders' feet, sending them upwards and through the ceiling leaving a hole in the process.
"AAAHHHHH!" screamed the sound of Beastly's voice as he along with the Raiders were sent flying through the ceiling and to the sky.
Everyone fell silent at what happened and even Kikai stopped firing his current weapon.
"Was that Beastly?" asked Bork.
"I think so…" said Retha with wide eyes while looking at the hole in the ceiling.
"How did tha happen?" said Gunny looking astonished at what happened.
"I think that was Lenny and the others downstairs" said Caboose.
Suddenly…
*BOOOOOOOM!*
An explosion was heard, causing a small tremor on the ship.
"Whoa! What was that?!" exclaimed Bork in alarm as he and everyone.
"That was probably Cliff" concluded Gunny.
"How do you know?" asked Garren.
"I just… know…" said Gunny with narrowed eyes making the rest of the other half of the rejects and Garren to sweat drop minus Caboose and Magna Defender who tilted their heads in confusion.
"You're wide open!" exclaimed a voice.
"What?" said Gunny as he looked up "Whoa!" he exclaimed before rolling to the side just in time to avoid getting smashed like a pancake by a gravity hammer, courtesy of a Jiralhanae Brute who growled upon missing.
"Gunny! Utilizar esta!" called out Kikai as he grabbed the black and orange suitcase and tossed it towards Gunny who caught it.
"What's this?" wondered Gunny analyzing the suitcase "Kinda has similar designs ta Zero-One weapons" he commented.
ATTACHE CHAINSWORD!
The suitcase announced, giving Gunny's answer "CHAINSWORD?!" he exclaimed in surprise as he unfolded the bottom right part revealing to be the pommel of sorts revealing the chainsaw part on the other folded part. Gunny then unfolded the last part revealing the weapon to be a chainsaw and as its' namesake, the weapon was a cross between a chainsaw and a sword.
CHAINSWORD RISE!
(Insert Kamen Rider Zero-One Soundtrack – Kamen Rider Zero-One Theme)
A savage grin creeped up on Gunny's face as he turned to the Jiralhanae who got ready to swing his gravity hammer using the bladed portion.
When the Brute did so, Gunny revved the chainsword and swung it in retaliation with a yell and what happened next was that The Gravity Hammer was cut in half much to the Brute's shock and Gunny gave the Brute a few good slashes at him while the chainsword left satisfying sounds of *VVVUMMM!* *VVUM!* *VVUMMM!* and the Brute dropped dead.
"Haha~! Take that ya overgrown simian!" Gunny mocked.
Kikai folded the Kerberos and managed to strap it on the back of his belt and picked up the Attache Calibur, he then looked towards the weapon rack and saw a few progrise keys and decided to grab three of them before proceeding into battle as he activated his newly acquired weapon and unfolded it revealing a single edged sword.
ATTACHE CALIBUR! BLADE RISE!
"Heh... heh... heh... quién dice que los Kamen Riders y los que no son Kamen Riders no pueden usar las armas de otros Kamen Riders?" he quipped to himself.
The rest of the Rejects and as well as Garren and Magna Defender got into ready stances as they raised their weapons at the remaining pirates.
"Prepare ta feel the pain dirtbags!" declared Gunny.
(Switch to Kamen Rider Zero-One Soundtrack – Find a New Life)
"You think that'll scare us?!" said Retha with a sneer as she pulled out her rocket launcher and got ready to blow them up.
Kikai in response took out the Sparking Giraffe progrise key, he pressed the button on the top left side of the key activating it…
ELECTRIC!
And then inserted it into the slot located on the Attache Calibur's bottom.
Progrise key confirmed. Ready to utilize: Giraffe's ability!
"Hmph! You'll have to do better than that!" Retha taunted.
Kikai smirked behind his mask before he pulled the trigger while the Attache Calibur became wreathed in orange electricity.
"Huh?" said the pirates with red question marks on their heads.
SPAR-KING~ KABAN SLASH!
Kikai struck the ground with the Attache Calibur sending a wave of electricity at them, electrifying them as a result as they all vibrated and twitched like crazy.
"I-I-I-I-I-I FEE-I-I-I-I-I-I-I-EEL T-T-T-T-TINGLY-Y-Y-Y-Y-Y-Y-Y!" exclaimed Bork.
Using this chance, Kikai pulled out another progrise key. This one was light blue and black with the name "Freezing Bear" and the ability "Blizzard" below it. This was the Freezing Bear Progrise Key.
BLIZZARD!
After activating it, Kikai replaced the current progrise key with the other one.
Progrise key confirmed. Ready to utilize: Polar Bear's ability!
The blade of the Attache Calibur became wreathed with icy mist as Kikai got into a stance. He then folded the blade back into its suitcase form.
CHARGE RISE!
Kikai then unfolded his weapon.
FULL CHARGE!
Kikai then pulled the trigger on his weapon as it emitted even more powerful icy mists.
FREEZING~ KABAN DYNAMIC!
The machine rider executed a downward slash unleashing an icy crescent energy wave at the remaining pirates. The crescent wave transformed into an icy giant construct of a polar bear as it roared while charging towards its' paralyzed targets.
"AAHHHHH!" exclaimed the pirates in shock as the icy bear rammed into them and as a result, they were all encased frozen in ice, turning them into ice statues.
The rejects and the Eds looked on in awe at what Kikai did.
"It's… c-c-c-cold!" said Bork shivering in his icy prison.
"Aw, sh-sh-sh-sh-shut up Bork!" said Retha shivering inside her own icy prison.
"Haha~! Good job Samson! Nicely done!" said Gunny praising his brother.
"Aún no ha terminado..." said Kikai.
"Whut?" said Gunny turning to Kikai with a raised eyebrow, only to see the android rider toss a progrise key at him in which he caught,
The progrise key had a red and black body with the name "Flaming Tiger" with the ability "Fire" below it. This is the Flaming Tiger Progrise Key.
Gunny raised an eyebrow at the progrise key before looking at Kikai in confusion, only to see him gesture towards the frozen pirates.
"Ohh~!" nodded Gunny with wide eyes of realization. He then grinned before turning to the statues and pressed the button on the progrise key.
FIRE!
He folded the bottom part of the Attache Chainsword before inserting the progrise key and unfolding it again.
Progrise key confirmed. Ready to utilize: Tiger's ability!
The chainsword's blade started revving up with flames as Gunny pulled the trigger and swung the chainsword in a horizontal slash as it sent a blazing crescent wave at the frozen pirates.
FLAMING~ KABAN BREAK!
This resulted in an explosion, as it not only cracked and defrosted the ice instantly, it even sent the pirates flying as they all screamed and it also caused the ship to shake once again. The pirates ended up on the floor with a *THUD!* before letting out a few groans.
"Eeeeeedoggies! Talk about turnin up thuh heat!" joked Gunny.
"Cool~!" said Magna Defender.
"I have to say… that was quite impressive" commented Garren.
"Yer~ welcome!" said Gunny shouldering his weapon.
"Now that we've gotten the obstacles out of the way, let's get out of here and regroup with everyone at the top deck" said Dan.
"I couldn't agree more Richards!" said Gunny with a nod as the remainder of the Rejects got all the stuff they needed before they along with the remainder of the Eds headed towards the exit and up to the top deck.
When the Eds and Rejects regrouped at the exit that led to the top deck, they had a mixed number of reactions. Some of them were surprised about the weapons they got, some were shocked about what they transformed into and some even got jealous of what weapons they got, but the one with the biggest reaction of all was Eddy.
"HA! Okay, now this is rich! Double D becomes the secondary rider of the 5th Heisei Kamen Rider series and Ed becomes the 6th ranger of the Lost Galaxy Rangers while I on the other hand become the third rider of the 7th Heisei Kamen Rider series! Ahahahaha!" laughed Eddy finding this a bit hilarious for some reason after those who could transform powered down to conserve energy.
Stinger watched his partner laugh his head off while bending over and holding his stomach, leaving the Zecter confused before turning to Double D and Ed "Is he always like this?" he asked.
"Mostly whenever he's come up with a what he'd assume as a brilliant idea for a scam" replied Double D.
"Really?" said Stinger before glancing at his partner who was still laughing.
"What are you laughing about Eddy?" questioned Cliff with a raised eyebrow.
"Ahahaha! What's funny is that... hahaha... I think about the capabilities Ed, Double D and I will be having and... haha... get this!" said Eddy trying to calm himself "For Double D, haha... as Kamen Rider Garren he becomes one of the four main riders that can use 12 cards at his disposal and he even has a power up form" he said "And for Ed, hahaha... he's Magna Defender and he's got this badass robot bull that can turn into a giant robot when he combines with him" he explained towards the slacker "And as for me... hahaha... The only thing I'm capable of doing is moving extremely fast as if time stops around me! Hahahaha! And yet I have no power up form! Hahaha! How rich is that!?" laughed Eddy.
Cliff just shrugged his shoulder and went "Meh…" while everyone else sweatdropped.
"Still..." trailed off Double D turning to Stinger "I'm still surprised to learn that you can talk" he said "How's that possible?" he asked.
"Have you and the other Zecters evolved into a high greater state of intelligence?" guessed Ed.
"Mmm... something like that" replied Stinger "I'll explain some other time" he said while his partner started to calm down.
"Yeah, we can hear the story later because we all need to get out of here and get home" said Lenny.
"Yeah, what he said!" said Gunny in agreement.
"Anyone out there Dan?" asked David while Dan looked through a pair of telescopes to see if there was any signs of anyone on the upper deck "None so far" whispered Dan in reply.
"Hmm… there's probably a chance that they could be out there waiting for us to come out and get the chance to ambush us" said David.
"The possibility of that is likely to happen" said Double D agreeing with David.
"So, what do we do then?" asked Tucker.
David sighed and said "Well… all I can say is that once we get out, we'll just have to wing it and once we encounter Captain Roark and his "high officers", we'll have to hold them off while some of us get to the helm and set the coordinates of the Gate Engine to our home planet so that we can escape" he said.
"Well… one plan is better than no plan at all…" said Lenny.
"Meh… so long as we can get back home and I can go back to just lounging around, I'm fine with that" said Cliff.
The other Rejects agreed and the same went with the Eds.
"Alright then… let's go guys" said Lenny as he and the rest of the Rejects and the Eds went outside and entered the top deck.
Slowly, one by one, the Eds and Rejects stepped out and entered the top deck as they looked around in alert for Captain Roark and his top fighters.
"Hmm… doesn't look like they're here" said Gunny looking around.
"Yeah, let's get to the helm and get out of here!" said Cliff.
"I second that!" said Eddy.
"Oh really~?" said a familiar voice.
(Insert Kamen Rider Zero-One Soundtrack – Kamen Rider Horobi Theme)
The Eds and Rejects turned around and looked up to see Captain Roark and his top fighters up at the helm with the chimpanzee captain giving them a wicked grin "Hello… gentlemen" he greeted.
"Oh no!" exclaimed Dan in panic.
"Are these the pirates you talked about Eddy?" asked Stinger hiding inside one of Eddy's pockets while his voice was going on high alert.
"Eeyep... and they almost fed me to the sharks" he said.
"Ugh... great, it's you..." said Lenny frowning in annoyance.
Roark leaped from the rails of the helm and landed in front of the Rejects and the Eds who took a few steps back, only to hear a loud *THUD!* from behind, Tucker, Eddy, Dan and Gage turned around to see Axel and Walsh in front of them.
"Aw, great… now we're surrounded!" said Tucker in annoyance as they were trapped on both sides.
Roark was followed by Amunet and Gale as they landed next to their captain with the Jackal Beastkin on Roark's right and the Fishman on his left while Merbius stayed at the helm in order to guard it.
"I applaud you young realmlubbers for making it this far…" said Roark while slowly clapping "But unfortunately…" he said, his grin widening as he took out the Yuuki Belt "This is the end of the line for you…" he said.
Ed gasped "He's got the Yuuki Belt!" he exclaimed while pointing as said mentioned belt.
This alarmed everyone "Ye sayin he's a Dark Rider?! Tha's not good" said Gunny.
"Indeed... not good for you... but real good for us..." said Amunet who followed with taking out her Raidriser and surprisingly, Gale had a Raidriser as well which wasn't a good sign as the three strapped their respective belts on.
RAIDRISER!
Axel moved his coat revealing his Zetsumeriser and Walsh moved his cloak revealing that he was wearing some kind of belt. The belt in question looked technical with a silver color scheme with two square shaped parts on either side of the belt and in the middle was some kind of attachment port with a silver surface with a yellow triangular arrow, black stripe with four green horizontal lines in it. This was the Rider Belt.
"Uh oh…" said Tucker.
"He's got a rider belt!" exclaimed Stinger in alarm upon seeing Walsh wearing the belt.
"Does that mean he's got one of those Zecters like you?" asked Eddy but Stinger couldn't answer him as he thought of which of the Zecters Walsh is in possession of.
Roark took out the rider pass while Amunet and Gale took out their progrise keys.
Gale's progrise key was blue and black with the name "Splashing Whale" and the ability "Wave" below it. This was the Splashing Whale Progrise Key.
While Axel took out his cracked surface zetsumerise key, all of a sudden, some kind of buzzing sound was heard and something came flying from out of nowhere, causing the Rejects and Eds to duck as whatever came flying went to Walsh who caught it, revealing to be some kind of object.
The object in question was what looked like a black and red mechanical looking kabuto beetle with red legs and a silver ring on the top of its' back. This was the Dark Kabuto Zecter.
"You..." uttered out Stinger and if his eyes could move, they'd be narrowing at the Dark Kabuto Zecter.
"Huh... seems like you don't like him then?" asked Eddy.
"I never did..." said Stinger "And niether did the other Zecters" he added.
Roark pressed the button of his belt playing its' standby music while Amunet and Gale activated their progrise keys.
HUNT!
WAVE!
Axel did the same activating his zetsumerise key but unlike the progrise keys, the zetsumerise key spoke in a distorted deep and intimidating voice.
O-NY-CHO~!
The jackal beastkin, fishman and android inserted their respective keys into their belts activating their standby music, although Axel's belt played a different techno tune.
Walsh narrowed his eyes while holding his Zecter at the ready as the crew called out…
"Henshin!" said Roark and Walsh as the former swiped the Rider Pass on his belt while the latter inserted the mechanical beetle onto the belt.
"Equip!" said Amunet, Gale and Axel as they pressed the buttons on the sides of their belts with red wires connecting to the Onycho Zetsumerise key on Axel's zetsumeriser.
HIJACK FORM!
RAIDRISE! FIGH-TING JAC-KAL~! *Siren wailing sound* Deciding the fate of a battle like a Valkyrie.
RAIDRISE! SPLASHING WHALE~! *Siren wailing sound* An aqua current that encompasses everything around it.
ZETSUME-RISE!
HENSHIN!
Small golden streamer-like light surrounded Roark while gold and blue pipes surrounded Amunet and Gale respectively and for Axel, his human appearance burned off revealing his robotic exoskeleton as purple pipes protruded from his mouth and surrounded his whole body and finally, for Walsh, the moment he inserted the Zecter into his belt, the belt materialized armor out of hexagons as it surrounded him.
Once their transformations ended, it caused a slight shockwave forcing the Eds and Rejects to duck and cover themselves. When they recovered, they were shocked to see captain Roark and his top fighters' transformed states.
Captain Roark became Kamen Rider Yuuki: Hijack Form, Amunet the Fighting Jackal Raider and Axel became the Onycho Magia.
Gale was now clad in a gray body suit under white thigh armor, greaves and boots, white lower body armor and on their upper body is a white and gray chestplate with blue pipes on either sides from the top of the front of the pectoral area to the sides, and blade-like edges at the top, two blue pipes with two bladed metal parts attached to them facing backwards on either side of the top of the chestplate, gray and white shoulder pauldrons with blade-like parts on top and two blue and silver outlined fin shaped mantle capes attached to the pauldrons, white upper arm armor and white bracers, white gloves and a silver and blue helmet with pinkish intimidating eye visors and bladed mouthguard making his appearance look menacing and intimidating. Gale Tidus had become… the Splashing Whale Raider.
And Walsh was now clad in a black body suit with silver, gold and black bulky upper armor composed of a silver and black chestplate with a silver and gold tube shaped collar, silver and red pauldrons with a black circles with a red beetle sigil with the word "ZECT" on them, silver and red spine bone shaped armored upper arm armor and bracers, silver and black armored gloves with red at the top palms and red spots on the side of the bottom palms, silver light armored thighs, knee pads, greaves, black and silver armored shoes and a silver and red accented helmet with a black and silver gasmask-like mouthguard, V-shaped antenna on the forehead top and a yellow visor. Walsh had become… Kamen Rider Kabuto: Masked Form.
The Eds and Rejects tensed up "This… is not good…" said Tucker.
"Indeed…" said Dan nervously.
Yuuki put his SavageGasher together in sword mode while Fighting Jackal Raider summoned her Territory Scythe.
Splashing Whale Raider summoned his own weapon out of water. It took the appearance of a polearm with a blue shaft, a silver spear shaped bottom tip and a big blue and silver tail shaped blade with a blue spear tip located between the tail fins. This was Splashing Whale Raider's personal weapon the Ougigant.
Onycho Magia got his Zytalons at the ready while Dark Kabuto got out what looked like a hatchet.
The hatchet had a black and silver body with a silver handle, black and silver hand guard, a silver axe-head and the part holding the axe-head resembled a pistol grip. This was the Zect Kunaigun in which Dark Kabuto held it in Axe mode.
"So…" said Yuuki tapping his weapon to his hand "Any last words or actions before my crew and I end your sorry little realmlubber lives?" he questioned causing his remaining crew to chuckle menacingly while getting their weapons ready.
(End Soundtrack)
The Rejects and Eds looked to one another and nodded to each other and turned to the pirates with determined expressions.
"It's probably obvious…" said Lenny.
"Oh~?" said Yuuki in amusement "And what would that be?" he questioned deciding to humor them.
"We're just gonna wing it and kick your pirate hides!" declared Tucker.
"Yeah! Nd ther's no stopping us from gettin back home and not even youse can stop us!" said Gunny.
"And we assure you… we'll be getting off this ship and get away from all of you, crazy heads!" said Eddy with finality.
(Insert Kamen Rider Zero-One Soundtrack – Rise Hopper)
Yuuki chuckled "We'd like to see you try" he challenged.
Turning to each other, they nodded before taking out their weapons and equipment. Lenny his Raidriser and progrise key, David his Battle Rifle, Tucker his Leangle Buckle and Rouse Card, Caboose his Nova Machine Gun, Vern his Austyer Carbine, Gunny his Shotgun, Gage his Spannerder and Screwder, Dan his Plasma Rifle, Cliff his Cliff Shot, Nate his SMG, Ed his Magna Defender Morpher, Double D his Garren Buckle and Rouse card and Eddy held up his Rider Brace while nodding to Stinger who flew out of his pocket revealing himself.
This surprised the pirates present "WHAT?!" Exclaimed Merbius as he slammed his hands on the rails "How did they manage to get some of our stolen bounty?!" he exclaimed.
Yuuki on the other hand had an intrigued expression behind his mask.
The belt users strapped on their respective belts while Ed twisted the key part of his morpher and extended it and Gage's belt materialized.
"Let's go Stinger!" said Eddy "Right with you partner!" said Stinger as he flew towards the Rider Brace and attached itself onto it and locking in place while everyone else activated their belts and morpher.
SEARCH!
"Equip!" said Lenny.
"Henshin!" said Gage, Tucker, Double D and Eddy.
"Magna Power!" said Ed.
RIADRISE! SCOUTING PAN-DA! *Siren wailing sound* There is nothing unknown to his eyes.
DEKAI! HAKAI! GO~KAI! KAMEN RIDER… KIKAI!
TURN UP!
OPEN UP!
A number of lights shined upon the group causing the pirates to cover their eyes and when the light cleared, they were shocked to see Scouting Panda Raider, Kamen Riders Kikai, Garren, Leangle, Magna Defender and another rider among the group.
Said rider who was in place of Eddy was clad in a black body suit with silver, gold and black bulky upper armor composed of a silver, red and black chestplate with a tube shaped collar and five green and gold outlined honeycombed shaped area at the center of the upper chest in a flower-like formation, silver, gold and black pauldrons, being a combination of pointed triangular silver and gold outlined pauldrons and round gold pauldrons below them with two black circles; one flat one at the side and one curved one at the front of each pauldron with a gold bee sigil with the word "ZECT" on the left front circle, silver and gold spine bone shaped armored upper arm armor and bracers, silver and black armored gloves with yellow at the top palms and gold spots on the side of the bottom palms, a silver belt with a buckle bearing the name 'ZECT' on it, gold light armored thighs, knee pads, greaves, black and gold armored shoes and a silver, black and yellow accented helmet with a black stripe at the top with an upside down silver triangle with a black interior and three red dots in an upside down tri-formation, two silver slanted antenna-like fins, black hexagons located on either side of the helmet in between the mouth area, gold chin and a black and gold outlined visor in the shape of some kind of flower with silver parts in the mouthguard area. This was Eddy's transformed state... he had become... Kamen Rider TheBee: Masked Form.
"Prepare yourselves pirates cause we're not gonna give up without a fight!" declared Leangle activating his Ravening Silver Energy Sword.
"Prepárate para enfrentarte al poder... de Kamen Rider Kikai!" declared Kikai while taking out the Attache Calibur.
"You're in for it now baby, cause we're no pushovers!" stated TheBee cracking his knuckles while Garren unholstered his Garren Rouzer and Magna Defender unsheathed his Magna Sword as the trio got into a ready stance.
Scouting Panda Raider got his Dead Monochrome raised at the ready as he gave the pirates the stink eye behind his mask "Get ready assholes…" he said "'Cause here we come!" he declared as the Eds and Rejects let out a battle cry and charged at their opponents.
Kamen Rider Yuuki just chuckled in amusement "Interesting!" he said while sliding his hand through the flat of his blade "Attack!" commanded Roark as he followed by Fighting Jackal Raider, Splashing Whale Raider, Onycho Magia and Dark Kabuto charged towards the Eds and Rejects with battle cries of their own.
And thus… a battle that would decide the Eds and Rejects' fate had begun…
"Oh, my goodness! It looks like a big battle's coming our way!" said the voice of Nexus Lupin.
"Wonder how it will end? Wonder if they'll ever get back home?" he wondered.
"Oh well… looks like we'll have to find out next time!" he said.
"See you all later!"
"Ciao~!"
Author's Notes:
Inspired from XP4Universe and Fir100
That's all for this chapter. The Eds and Rejects got separated into two groups and hid in different areas of the pirate ship. Luckily they ended up in places where weapons were stored and they armed themselves and not only that, some of them obtained special powers allowing them to retaliate. And now, they must fight Captain Roark and his group of powerful warriors in order for them to get back home.
Bet all of you didn't see that coming? Gage and Tucker became Kamen Riders and Lenny became a Raider and if you're wondering about the part when Caboose got the Dynamiting Lion progrise key, I bet you're wondering if he did get a Raidriser as well? You'll have to find out on the next chapter.
And as for the Eds, I bet you're surprised with what happened to them. Cool right?
As for Gage as Kikai using Kamen Rider Zero-One and G3-ZX's weapons? Well, why not? Kikai was mostly using close combat with his fists and kicks in the Zi-O series so I decided to give him a weapon.
And as for the weapon Kikai gave Gunny which I called the "Attache Chainsword"? Well, I found an image drawing of it on Pinterest and I somehow found the image cool and I decided to use that for my stories. I didn't know what to do with it at first and then I decided to have Gunny use it. FYI, I came up with the name of the weapon and its' attacks myself while I found the picture on Pinterest.
Anyway, next up will be the chapter that'll conclude this current Arc.
There will be more surprises coming your way around near the conclusion, so look forward to the next chapter.
This is XD Warden warping out.
