AN: Please remember that from this point on every Gaia Memory is important to the plot, and I'm taking an Ohz approach to who has what Memory. I will include a Count The Memories sequence. Also this story doesn't have a set schedule yet, and this chapter is shorter. That said, let's begin.

I stood tall, keeping visor to visor contact with our other arrival. I kept a firm hand on the Eternal Edge, holding it up defensively. Kamen Rider Nasca stood, his sword shouldered. "I heard the she bang you had upstairs. I must say you've been getting better Mr. Shiba" he said, tauntingly.

We at the Terra Organization aren't the only people trying to get a hold of the T2s. There are quite a few groups actually. In this case the group in question is the Rhea Corporation. On the surface they are your standard Apple clone. Under the surface they are arms dealers, mainly focused on military supplies. That is until about a year ago. Then they saw the potential that Gaia Memories had and they decided to do a bit of dabbling.

The two of us stood off, weapons at the ready. "So I assume that drill up there was your new lackey. I must say I didn't think you were the kind of person to use a Drill Dopant Ryuzaki."

Ryuzaki chuckled, as if it was a joke. "The Dopant that attacked you was merely a guard. My team hasn't been assigned yet after some man in a fedora shot up my last team."

"So you've got the Memory then" I said, the sting of the bitter realization hitting me. Braggingly, he held up the Luna Memory. "Of course" I said.

"Well you got here a bit too late" Ryuzaki said braggingly. He started laughing and I took my chance. I ran at Ryuzaki and stabbed at him with the Eternal Edge. Ryuzaki swiped his sword and knocked the knife out of my hand. He elbowed me in the gut. While he did that I snatched the Joker Memory from a slot on the side of Ryuzaki's belt. I kicked Nasca aside, him dropping the Luna Memory.

I went for the Luna Memory, but as I did he removed the Ocean Memory from my bandoleer. I picked up the Luna Memory and put it in my bandoleer, along with the Joker Memory. I then picked up my knife and took out the Zone Memory.

I prepared to slot it in to the knife but Ryuzaki blasted me with a jet of water. I got knocked against the wall, dropping the Eternal Edge and Zone Memory in the process. Ryuzaki caused the water to drag both to him. He picked up the Zone Memory and crushed the Eternal Edge under his foot. He laughed and teleported away.

(The following is in third person so as to follow Ryuzaki for a moment. This will not last long.)

Ryuzaki appeared in the alley behind the facility, near his bike. 'All in all a good job' he thought to himself. As he walked over to a black and blue Honda Black Shadow, a bolt of red lightning flew by his head. He turned to see a white Kamen Rider. 'I guess Shiba's up' Ryuzaki thought to himself. However, as the rider approached it turned out to be someone different. He had no cape and no bandoleers, instead having silver and red markings across its body.

"Who the?" Ryuzaki asked in confusion. He noticed the symbol on the Memory in his Driver. A W. "Weather, of course" Weather created a twister and sent it at Nasca. The twister sucked up Ryuzaki and threw him aside, taking the Zone Memory in the process.

I walked up the stairs, my suit/body drenched in salt water. I walked up the stairs back onto the roof. Do I classify tonight as a failure or a success. After thinking about it for a few minutes I just decided on success: I got the Luna Memory after all. Then again I lost both the Ocean and Zone Memories and my weapon is destroyed.

I walked back upto EverBoilder, mounting it. I got my bike onto the road from the roof and trust me that's harder to do safely than you can imagine. I drove through the freeway, alone with my thoughts. That is until a red blur passed by.

I stopped dead as I saw it. The blur looked like a motorcycle. Yet strangely familiar for a reason couldn't place. I then realized who it was. "Accel?" I drove to the vicinity of the Hotel, when I saw the blur again. It was Accel's bike form. Then I saw Gunner A drive into view, weapon primed.

Gunner A fired its cannon at me, missing by a hair. At that point I realized that I was wearing the armor of Eternal. And if Accel had regained his Memory after he fought against the previous Eternal, then this isn't looking good. Accel linked upto Gunner A and became the AccelGunner. He opened fire with his machine gun. I drove trying to get away from him, driving towards a secret passage.

A blast from the main cannon knocked me off of the road. Accel disconnected from his tank and walked towards me. I was laying on the ground. He grabbed the Cyclone Memory from my bandoleer. "Repent, and you shall be saved" Accel said as I began to lose conscienceless. I saw him and Gunner A drive off.

I was within sight of the Gosei and could see it. I stood up and tried to walk towards it, taking off my Driver to lose the extra weight. I walked upto the front doors, passing out as I walked through.

I awoke with pain coursing through my body. I was in the medical ward, laying in a bed. I moved hand across my chest, feeling bandages across it. Quinn was sitting in a chair, asleep with a book next to her. "Quinn?" I asked. She woke up and saw me.

"Ryo? You're awake!" Quinn said with surprise and sympathy. I tried to sit up, wincing from my wounds. "How bad does it hurt?" she asked, helping me to sit up.

"Not too bad" I said. "Well, when you consider I was nearly shot by a tank" I said sarcastically.

"A tank?" Quinn asked.

"Someone's got Accel and the equipment" I explained. "And I got attacked by him. As well as Rhea's Kamen Rider, Nasca. I got Luna but lost my weapon. And Cyclone and Ocean."

"Well, at least you made it back" Quinn said, somewhat nervously. She walked towards the door to leave the infirmary. "I'm gonna get you something to eat." She then turned to leave but I stopped her.

"Quinn, I have a question for you." Quinn turned around to look me in the eye. "Are you sure you want to do this?"

Quinn thought for a moment. "Yes. I know its dangerous, and I know I could die but I don't care. One minute I'm just a normal girl in Texas, the next I'm flying from Houston, to the Empire State, to London, to Paris, and then back to London. I can't wait to help protect the world."

I chuckled. Quinn turned to leave and I tossed the Joker Memory to her. Quinn caught the Memory and looked at it. "The Joker Memory? Alright" she said, hiding enthusiasm.

Well, after my wounds healed up I was ready to get back to the job. I walked into the elevator, Quinn next to me. The crimson tron lines were once again the only light in the elevator. The door slid open revealing the control room.

"Time to start your training" I said.
