Neo Riders: Kabuto and Gatack of Gamindustri
Ch6: A shocking clash! White Angel's Wraith! Drake's Rider Shooting!
"Compaaaaa, I'm feeling icky-sticky. Can you take my temperature and stuff?" Neptune asked.
Ran and Compa were standing next to a bedridden Neptune, the purple haired preteen's cheek were tinged a light red and small beads of sweat ran down her cheeks.
Compa pulled a thermometer out of her small purse and stuck the small glass object into Neptune's mouth, "Oh, you may have a cold. It's because you never use the cover when you sleep. You should be more careful about that!"
Ran looked over at the trashcan in the kitchen, sticking out of the trashcan were pieces of tin foil with barbecue sauce stains, "Neptune, did you stay out so late to eat snack?"
"But I had to go out, Ran-kun! There was a food shack that was selling the biggest barbecue ribs I'd even seen." Neptune said, dreamily.
Ran turned and looks at the other bed which is occupied by Azuya right now, "But I don't get how Azuya get involved…"
"Ran, if you have come with us… you would never taste anything so good but the only thing I going to complain is that Neptune added too much hot sauce." Azuya said with a same dreamily tone like Neptune did.
Ran shakes his head, he continued look at his childhood friend, "But don't do something like that again...idiot." He mumbled.
"I'd do it again… If I wasn't feeling all icky-sticky." Neptune said, weakly.
"Me too." Azuya said.
Compa turned in the direction of the kitchen, "Hold on a minute and I'll make you two some good medicine."

Ashita no sono saki e
Ran, Azuya, and IF stands back to back with their respective rider forms. Neptune saw the silhouette of Noire, Blanc, and Vert as she can't help but trying to figure them out before she saw Ran reach his hand for her.

Kousoku no VISION minogasu na. Tsuite koreru nara...
Kabuto starts a fighting in Clock Up along with Gatack and Sasword. The three riders stand side by side as the screen covered up by insect wings and the logo.
Ran was about to leave until he felt a pull on the sleeve, he turned to look at the purple haired preteen, "Ran-kun, why don't you stay to keep me company?" Neptune asked.
"Well… I'm going to look around town—" Suddenly Ran was caught off-guard when Neptune did something unexpected. She did her Puppy dog eyes look at him.
The big, round, too-cute purple eyes that no one can resist. You just have to give in, to comply, No matter what; you couldn't turn down the Puppy Eyes look. That looks.
Ran pulled a chair and facing different direction from Neptune as he sat down, "That is not going to work, Neptune" he said.
"But why are you staying here?" Neptune retorted with a silly grin.
"It's none of your business." Ran said. He almost hears Neptune given a little giggle.
Compa came back with the medicine in her hands right now. She notice Ran was sitting away from Neptune in the opposite direction, but she come to both Azuya and Neptune's bedsides as she start to administer the medicine. "Are you done yet?"
"Huh? Why…? It's not working…" The nurse-in-training looking down at the medicine she was holding. Ran turns a little to see what is going on.
IF walked over to the group with a smiling, "Let me handle this. Sometime, beginners luck works."
"No! I want to help Nep-Nep and Azu-kun!" Compa retorted.
"But you're not doing it right… Come on…" IF said. Beside she wants to show to Ran and Azuya that she could be the resourced person in the group.
Before IF and Compa getting into an argument, the door to the party's room suddenly swung open and on the other side of the doorway stood a little girl. The little girl had bright chocolate brown eyes, short hair that framed her face and was almost the same color brown as her eyes, and her most noticeable feature was her giant white rabbit cap.
She wore a light blue dress with princess-puff sleeves and ruffled lining. Around the bottom of her dress was a big brown segment with light brown lining and dark brown marks and around her neckline was what looked like a belt or a collar with a gold buckle. On the front of her dress around her stomach was a BIG pocket that looked as though it could pass for a kangaroo patch considering that it was able to hold a glass bottle and reagents, and above the pocket were two gold buttons. She also wore plain brown boots and white rabbit themed gloves.
"How did you get in here?" Ran asked.
The girl stood in the door, the expression on her face suggested that she found it painful to look at Compa and IF, "I can't watch any longer! Let Gust take care of it!"
Compa looked surprise as well, "Huh? Wh-Who're…?"
"I am Gust." The young girl said.
Gust walked over to the bed that was occupied by a sick Neptune. The little girl took the two bottles out of Compa's hand, along with the vial containing finely ground powder.
"Mix Potion A and Potion B, then add powder."
Ran watched Gust mixing potions like a scientist but his attention focused on Neptune. Ran got up and walk toward Neptune.
"Everyone…take cover!" Ran said. This caused the three girls to look confused at him.
"Huh?"
Ran pulled a bed cover over him and Neptune. This causes the purple haired preteen to blush right now, "Wh-What?"
IF grab Compa's hand as they both hide behind the kitchen right now as a small explosion sounded off in the room.
"What just happened…?" Azuya waken up from the explosion right now.
IF looking up from the kitchen table, "I never expect something happen… What was that minor explosion? Is it done?"
Gust looked at the bottle for a moment, simply staring at it, "…Synthesis failure."
The little girl set the bottle down on a nearby table, then turned to Compa and IF with a timid smile, "Explosion is reaction caused by old ingredients."
"Wait here. Gust makes good medicine using her own ingredients." Gust said. She reached into her pocket and pulled out a glass bottle and some reagents. Soon she was silent at work with the ingredients in her hands before she was done.
"…There." Gust said.
Gust held the bottle out to Compa, the nurse-in-training smiled at the young girl in turn, grateful that she had made some medicine for Neptune, "Thank you."
Compa saw that Gust still had her hand out, "Um… what's this? Do you want me to shake your hand?"
"You want money, right?" Azuya asked.
This caused Gust to smile right away, "Oh yes. Valuable ingredients. I won't charge labor this time."
"This was an unexpected expense…" Compa reached into her purse for money.
"Ran-kun…?"
"Hmm…"
Compa, Azuya, IF and Gust looked over the bed to see a blanket still covering its two occupants, but Neptune's voice was the one they heard, "Why are you so close to me…?"
"Neptune, what nonsense are you referring?" Ran asked.
"I mean do you like me?" Neptune asked.
"I have no clues what are you talking about." Ran said.
"But why are you carrying me like this?" Neptune asked. Underneath the blanket, Neptune seems to be blushing right now.
Ran notices he was carrying Neptune bride fashion again and her face was almost close to his face. This caused Ran to blush.
"Because… I don't know if the explosion will hit us." Ran said. She was too much close to him right now.
"But you haven't answered my question?" Neptune asked innocently.
"Umm… I-"
IF got a bad feeling that this get ugly, she grab the blanket draped over Ran and Neptune.
Neptune immediately buried her face into Ran's chest, her face turning bright red from embarrassment, "Ahhh! Iffy, what are you doing?"
"I don't like the idea of what you're doing, Neptune" IF said.
"Neptune, you should probably let go of Ran. I don't think he can't handle your weight." IF said. She already notices the nervous look on Ran's face now.
Neptune's cheeks were starting to get puffy, "Are you calling me fat, Iffy? I betcha you want to be in Ran-kun's arms, don't you?"
This causes IF's face turned red from embarrassment right now but she kept an angry look on her face, "Why you—"
"…Or, you can let Gust borrow you friend." IF and Neptune turn look at Gust who find Ran interesting.
Azuya's eyes wide and Compa almost dropped her purse now as they gave the little girl an incurious look, "G-Give you Ran?!"
"Gust wishes to test some new experimental potions on him."
"We will pay!" Azuya said. There is no way he will let Ran been used as a Guinea pig after crashed into this world.
Compa and IF agreed on Azuya's suggestion right now as soon as Neptune climb back onto her bed while still feeling weak.
"So you're traveling alone while selling items you synthesize?" Compa asked. She was the first to strike up a conversation with the young traveler after paying for Neptune's medicine.
"You're so young but such a hard worker. I'm one impressed nurse-in-training." Compa said.
"Heh. You flatter." Gust said, flush.
The hard working little girl's eyes exhibited a glow like before, "Tell Gust if any items needed. Gust will make for cheap."
"Really? Then, please tell us if you need any ingredients." Compa said. "We'll go gather them for you."
"You will? Gathering is challenge. That is wonderful!" Gust said.
"Gust, you're our friend now."
"They seem to be getting along." Ran turns around to see IF sitting next to him.
Suddenly IF notice someone was missing, "I haven't seen Nep or Azuya for a while. Did any of you see them?"
"They're in a deep sleep after taking the medicine." Compa explained as she looks at the nearest beds now.
"I can't believe the medicine works." Ran said.
"No wonder it's so peaceful." IF said.
Gust began to make her way towards the door, "Gust must go now. Must find more ingredients for items."
When Gust left the room, the party turned their attention to Neptune, who was snoring right now and talking, "ZZZZzzzz…. That is so good."
IF and Compa stared at the sleeping preteen, "Even when she's asleep, the only thing Nep thinks about is food."
Ran got up from where he was sitting and head for the door.
"Ran, where you're going?" IF asked.
"I'm going to get some fresh air…" Ran said. Not to mention he want to check with this food stand that Neptune and Azuya went to.
"You mind if we come along too? Sasword Zecter and I could use some right now." IF said. But what she was having in mind is getting some quiet time with Ran while Neptune is asleep.
"Sure." Ran said.
"Hey Ran, I been meaning to ask you something?" IF asked.
"What is it?" Ran asked, curious.
"How does Azuya always have a cheerful side?"
"It could be said same for Compa and Neptune." Ran remarked. IF chuckled.
"But still…"
"I guess even though Azuya miss been at home, Neptune is quite similar to Yui." Ran said.
"Who is Yui?" IF asked.
"Azuya's little sister." Ran said.
"I never imagine he been an older brother figure." IF said. She noticed Azuya often play together with Neptune often.
"But I didn't know it either before I met Azuya. Even though I did find him a little different from most kids."
"So how did you two meet?" IF asked.
"Well, it back in school…"
(Flashback)
Ran was reading his book by himself while other students were eating lunch. He wasn't much of talking when it comes to other kids.
But it was until he saw two kids been bullied for lunch money. It wasn't until he saw the bully going to hit the girl and decide to do something about it.
Ran suddenly grabbed the bully's arm from punching the girl.
"That is enough." Ran said calm.
"Or what?" The other kids asked. But it wasn't until a fight broke loose on the school ground. Soon the bullies start running away. Ran turn and see the two siblings coming toward him.
"Thank you for helping us." The girl said.
"Sorry about getting you involved." The boy said.
"It was no problem," Ran said as he was about to leave. But it wasn't until he felt someone grab his hand and notice the girl looking at him.
"What is it?" Ran asked.
"Where are you going?" The girl asked.
"I'm going back reading." Ran said.
"You should join us for lunch." The girl said.
"Come on, it will be fun. My name is Azuya Takeuchi and this is my sister Yui." Azuya introduced.
"My name is Ran. Ran Minamoto." Ran said.
(Flashback end)
"I guess that how we become best friends." Ran said. Well, he did find talking with Azuya is interesting.
"Ran, you know, I never thought you will be the type of person having a friend like that." IF said.
"What about you?" IF look surprised at Ran's question.
"Huh?"
"Why did you become a mercenary?" Ran asked.
The brunette averted her gaze and her face turned pink from Ran, "I-I'm not sure if you want to heard from me."
"Well, IF dreams of traveling the world when she was young like her father." Sasword Zecter explained, "But there are sometime my previous partner worried about his daughter been stiff—" Before Sasword Zecter could finished, IF grabbed him and shake the Zecter in her hands.
"That is enough out of you!" IF said to Sasword Zecter.
She suddenly turns to see Ran and Kabuto Zecter were quiet by their interaction right now. This causes IF to blush right now.
"Sorry…" IF said, blush. "Even though my father asks him to watch over me like a mother hen… before I left."
"It's alright, IF. I can sort of see what sort of person he is like…" Ran said. He did find something similar to her and Rika.
"I probably should start it…" Azuya said as he brought out two wooden swords as he was working on his stances. He knows that IF is more experience fighter than he and Ran are but he want to be ready.
I promise we will come back, Yui… Azuya thought.
While he is training, he didn't notice Compa walking behind right now with curious look on her face.
"Azu-kun, what are you doing up?" Compa asked.
"I just can't sleep…" Azuya said, "I thought training could help a little…"
"Well… but you should try to get some rest, Azu-kun." The Nurse-in-training said, smiling.
"Thank you, Compa-chan." Azuya said.
After Neptune was well from the sickness, the party went back to Entremets to ask about locations of dungeons that were inhabited by strong monsters.
"These are all our monster-infested dungeons. Are you sure you'll be fine? They're very formidable." Financier said.
"Yep, no worries. This is how we like it! Nothing's gonna stand a chance against all three of us lovely ladies!" Neptune said, confident smile.
Neptune soon grab Ran's and Azuya's arm, "Besides, I've got my super strong, super-fast, and nice bodyguards! We even can finish the monsters before dinner time start!"
Financier was slightly uncertain, "Overly confident people like you tend to trigger death flags pretty quick. However, you seem like you're okay with it."
Neptune merely waved off the comment, "Oh, pshh! Death flag! I'll snap it in half and toss it in the recycle bin, because I'm environmentally conscious!"
"A recycle bin, eh? How modern of you. Anyhow, good luck monster hunting."
Ran and Azuya tried to pry the energetic Neptune's from their arms; she had a very strong grip, "Neptune. Can you let us go?"
However when they try to remove Neptune's grip on their arms only prompted her to hold on tighter and pulling them closer to her, "No way. When you say to let go, it only make me want to hold on tighter!"
"Neptune, we might need our arms if we're supposed to protect you." Ran said.
"I know. I'm pretty lucky to have both of you." Neptune said.
Azuya noticeably winced. Neptune won't let go of them even if they go anyway? As the group heading out, a woman approached the party, "…Pardon me, you there. I heard you talking about monster hunting. Have you heard of Overlord Momus?"
The party turned in the direction of the individual who had just asked them the question, person in question turned out to be Lady White Heart's Evangelist.
Compa inclined her head at the question, "An Overlord…? Hmm, I'm sorry but we never heard of him."
The Evangelist continued, "As I thought. These monsters are Overlord Momus' loyal vassals. You will face judgment if you defeat them."
"That doesn't make any sense." Azuya said.
"So… you're telling us not to fight them? I don't know if we can manage that!" Compa said.
"That's unfortunate. You must think you're saving this world by fighting them… This world is already hopeless. As servant to a goddess, I should never utter such things. However, even the goddesses are not absolute. Your efforts will go to waste. You're all still young. Don't risk your lives doing this."
"Wh-Why are you saying all this to us?! We're trying to do more than sit and wait! We could probably beat that Overlord, too!" Compa protested.
"…Impossible. The Overlord is so strong, even the original goddess was barely able to seal him away. The current goddesses had no choice but to escape to this world and get away from danger. All of the goddesses, except one, came down to their lands at once. That should be enough proof. They stood no chance against the Overlord, ran away, and let Celestia get ravaged."
"Besides, I saw it myself. The messenger's punishment by the Overlord's hand. You, too, will eventually…" The Evangelist continued.
"I betcha that messenger was like mid-boss level. We can't save the world if we're scared of a weakling like that!" Neptune said, still grips on Ran and Azuya.
IF had been checking her cell phone since she did not want to listen to the Evangelist rave about 'Momus' and the 'Messenger', "Yeah, but thanks for story time. How could an Overlord weakling like that really exist? You have to stop playing RPGs so much."
Ran had been glaring at the Evangelist from the moment she walked away from the party after delivering her words. Neptune notice something is troubling Ran right now after walking out the front door, "What's wrong, Ran-kun? Did she make you mad when she said not to fight the monsters? I know she made me one unhappy Neptune."
"I don't trust her."
"Don't trust her? Sure, she comes off as being shady, but is that reason enough to not trust her?" IF asked.
"Obaa-chan said this 'Even a devil's whispers can sometime sound like an angel's voice.' There could be a chance she can't be who she claimed to be."
"Do you think she is a Worm?" Azuya asked.
Ran turns his attention to the party, "It's possible but we still haven't got any information about what they're doing since we got to this landmass. There is another thing to note, she mention about the goddesses come down to this world, except for one. How would she know this?"
This caught the group's attention.
"If she says that she seen this so called- 'Overlord', why she alive?" Azuya added.
"So, what you're saying is that she knows more than she's supposed to for her job?" Neptune suggested right now.
"I'm surprised that you have found out already. Yes, she knows too much to be a mere Evangelist. Beside there is one person who seems to stand in our way of finding solution for our mission. You know who I'm talking about."
"Ran-kun, do you think we should report this to the Basilicom?" Compa asked. Ran shook his head.
"Not now. But we will need to keep an eye on her while we're stay here in Lowee."
"Oh! I'm getting the goosebumps right now!" Neptune said.
"If we are done here, we should get going on our search for the Key Fragment. Since we have a map to the locations of strong monsters, we should start looking through the closest one." Azuya suggested to the group right now.
But the group wasn't aware that a mechanical dragonfly watched them heading off into the forest before it's disappear again.
The first dungeon that the party checks from Financier was a tower. Inside there was multiple stone support beams lined the long corridors of the structure.
"We're here but I don't actually see any monsters right now." Ran said.
"I betcha they're deeper inside this tower! We might even find the Key Fragment!" Neptune said.
IF look around with Sasword Zecter on her shoulder, "That's wishful thinking, there's no guarantee that it's going to be in this dungeon."
"It won't make any sense if we find the Key Fragment this early." Azuya said.
The party advanced into the structure to find the boss and seeking the Key Fragment. Neptune seems to be right about monsters are deeper inside when they're neared a three-way path.
Blocking their path was monster that resemble the Jaki, but with slight different colors and moss green hair. This creature is known as the Yeti. Meanwhile its companions were two Vampire bats.
The Yeti raised the club in its hand and brought it down with great force, it was relatively slow so the party had no trouble of dodging.
"You suck. There's no way you're ever gonna hit us." Neptune taunted with her tongue out at Yeti.
Suddenly the Vampire Bats come up to Neptune with their fangs out now, Ran was able to wave them off with his leg, "There is no need to mocking monsters, Neptune. But you should try your new sword against the Yeti."
"You got it, Ran-kun!" Neptune said, bring out her new sword.
Ran turn and punch the Vampire Bat in the face as the creature was send to the wall. The immature goddess dodged the Yeti's punch and cut off the monster's arm, while IF and Compa had come to attack the monster from its blind spot. Compa stabbed the monster with her syringe, while Azuya and IF come down on the Yeti with drop kicks on the head.
Soon the monsters collapsed as they continued deep into the tower's interior hallway.
"It seems that you two are coming along." IF said.
"Thank you, IF." Azuya said.
The group continued walk through the dungeon's very long corridor after fighting some monsters. Soon the group come up a path where they find their target monster; a 'Hot Dog'.
The monster looked nothing like a dog, but an oversized wolf, only it had a reddish-orange fur coat instead of a dull, ash-grey coat.
"This is not what I was expected." Azuya said confused.
"Let's beat up that boss! It's gotta be guarding the Key Fragment." Neptune said as she readied her sword in hand.
Before the group forming any plans, Neptune just rushed ahead at the monster; this caused Ran and Azuya to be a little panic now.
"Henshin!" They said at the same time.
"HENSHIN!"
The two soon transformed into their Masked Forms. Once the party had readied their weapons, they rushed the 'Hot Dog' in an attempt to catch it off guard.
The Hot Dog ran straight for the member out in the front… which of course was Neptune. Neo Gatack uses his shoulder canons to hit the monster's front legs to put a distant of it and Neptune. Neptune uses the dust as a distraction and attack the Hot Dog while the monster still in daze by the attack. But the Hot Dog was smart enough to dodge her attack.
Compa fired at the Hot Dog with her Syringe. But the Hot Dog dodged the bullets that nurse-in-training fired at it before running after her. Neo Gatack pushed Compa out of the way and the Hot Dog bite Neo Gatack's right arm.
Compa look shocked before trying to fire her syringe at the Hot Dog and forcing the monster off Neo Gatack now.
Soon Neo Kabuto and IF came as they force the Hot Dog with their blade weapons.
"Are you alright, Azu-kun?" Compa asked. Neo Gatack nod in thanks to his friend.
"Thanks." Neo Gatack said.
"Hmm… I don't like to continue fighting this thing any longer, any ideas?" IF asked.
Neo Kabuto was in thought for a moment before making a decision.
"Well… I have this plan." Neo Kabuto said.
The party member huddled together as Neo Kabuto tells them the idea of beaten up the Hot Dog.
"Do you get it?" Neo Kabuto questioned Neptune.
"Sound easy! He won't see it coming!" Neptune said, pumped her arms.
"Let's do it." IF said.
Understood his plan, the party lined up three different directions as Neo Gatack and Neo Kabuto in the front line, "Ikuze…"
The Riders ran straight for the Hot Dog right now. The Hot Dog readied itself for any attacks when the Riders fired their weapons to the ground as this created some dust cover. The Hot Dog was trying to find its targets when it didn't notices Neptune, Compa, and IF were getting closed to it.
Neptune cut the monster across the face with her beam saber, Compa stabbed it in the behind with her syringe, and IF severed its left front paw off with her Katars. Neptune ran right back at the monster, Neo Kabuto had impaled the wolf-like monster with his kunai axe, before letting Neptune finished the it with one swing attack after jump off Neo Kabuto's shoulder.
The Hot Dog was now defeated after collapsing to the ground, the party was free to check the room that the Hot Dog was protecting, "C'mon! The Key Fragments gotta be in here!" Neptune said.
Neptune ran into the large room, followed by her fellow party members. But when they enter the room, they didn't find anything.
"That was the dungeon Ms. Chamberlain told us about, but of course we didn't find anything. Let's go ask again." Compa said.
"… Hold it." A voice said.
The group turned around to see someone standing in front of the entrance to the room. It's a girl; she had short, messy powder blue hair with a cowlick on top and very long bangs that almost reached down to her stomach. She had reddish-pink eyes and irises that looked like power button symbols, and she wore a white bodysuit that resembled a bathing suit with cut-off sleeves, with small marking on them in black and light blue colors.
Neptune stared at the mystery girl who had entered the room, "Whoa, sweet! Lowee has some totally tubular people! She kinda… doesn't… match this land's theme, though"
Neo Kabuto notices something about the girl's eyes and finding them similar to Neptune's CPU form.
The blue haired girl focused her attention on Neptune, "…The outsiders can stay out of this. Neptune's all I need."
IF folded her arms over her chest, a questioning look on her face, "You're after Nep, too?! Geez, are you working for that old hag as well? You can't make us go away that easily!"
Compa began to exude a rare air of confidence, "That's right. The five of us are as one. We're a party!"
Neptune pumped her arms, "Yep! Five as one. You're outnumbered! What now, eh? You still wanna fight?"
"…You're involving them? You've got no sense of… No, what you don't have are your memories. Neptune…!" The mystery girl said.
The blue haired girl brandished a large axe that looked too heavy for someone her size, yet she held it with relative easy.
Neo Kabuto put a hand to halt his friend and looks at the mystery girl.
"What?" The mystery blue haired girl asked.
"Before we fight," Neo Kabuto said, "I want to know who you are?"
"Why does it matter, shitthead?" The mystery girl asked.
"I see… so that who you are." Neo Kabuto said.
"Ran, you have an idea who she is?" Neo Gatack asked.
"Ran-kun, we can talk about who she is after this fight." Neptune said.
"Alright." Neo Kabuto said.
Neo Kabuto turned his kunai gun back to axe mode as he ran at the axe-wielding girl. Both axe weapons clashed for briefing moment before the mystery girl moved to dodge IF's attack, then went straight to blocked Neo Gatack's missile attacks and knocking Compa's syringe to the ground.
But the blue haired girl try to knock Neo Gatack back with her axe, however Neo Gatack caught her axe, surprising the blue haired girl, but she managed to knocked him back before focusing her attention towards Neptune.
The moment she was close enough, the young girl wasted no time in swinging her axe at Neptune, both weapons clashed, sparks flying in multiple directions.
"CAST OFF!"
Suddenly the blue haired girl got hit flying armors coming at her and Neptune dock for her left. The blue haired girl turned to see Neo Kabuto's Rider form.
"CHANGE BEETLE!"
"What the hell?! You can do that as well?" The blue haired girl gawked as if she seen something like this before.
Soon Neo Kabuto come at the blue haired girl with his gun pointed at her. The mystery blue haired girl does a mid-air backflip to dodge his shoots. Before Neo Kabuto come at the blue haired girl, he and his friends heard a familiar sound right now as number of Worms appeared from the ground.
"Ran, I think we have a problem here…" Neo Gatack said.
"What the hell are they?!" The blue haired girl demands.
"Worms… there are so many of them here… This is bad!" IF said, eyes are wide at them.
The Worms were focused their attentions on Neptune and the mystery blue haired girl right now, Neo Kabuto slashed against one of the worm on the chest from getting closed to Neptune.
"Ran-kun…"
"We need to get out of here." Neo Kabuto said to his friends and the mystery blue haired girl.
Neo Gatack began to brawling his way through with his shoulder cannons before pulling the horns of Gatack Zecter.
"Cast Off!" Neo Gatack shouts.
"CAST OFF!"
Soon Neo Gatack's armor burst out into the air and scatters around the area.
"CHANGE STAG BEETLE!"
He grabs his double calibers and begins to battle through the Worms right now. IF stabbed two Worms away from Compa as she come to her friend's side and got out her sword.
"Geez… there are so many of them…" IF said as Sasword Zecter fly into her hand.
"Henshin!" IF shout.
"HENSHIN!"
Purple hexagons surrounded IF's body and transformed into Kamen Rider Sasword Masked Form.
"Compa, stay behind me." Sasword said to Compa. Compa nodded.
The mystery blue haired girl trying to fight her way out of the Worm infested area.
Damn it… I thought I will finally get Neptune but not when I find these monsters… but I have to get out of here… The mystery blue haired girl thought.
"Ran-kun, I'm going to help too!" Neptune said as her body began to glowing right now.
"Henshin!"
Soon in Neptune's place was now transformed Purple Heart shot past Neo Kabuto and Neo Gatack and launched a full fury attack right now with her katana as she and axe wielder caught glance of each other when they passed each other.
"You…" The mystery girl growls at Purple Heart. This is one person she wished to never seen again after the Console war.
Meanwhile Purple Heart wasn't sure what but she felt something familiar about this girl but she suddenly has a strange vision now.
She was fighting against the blue hair girl, along with green haired woman, and white haired girl before she was totally outnumbered and defeated.
What was that just now…? But there is time for it later! Purple Heart thought serious as she whips away the Worms right now.
Soon some of the Worms began to turn red as their body began to molten right now as they become Bellcricetus Worms and Formicaalubus Worms.
They soon enter the Clock Up field right now as everyone in the ruin was knocked to the ground by their attacks.
Before the rest of Worms starts attacking them, they got hit barrage of shoots right now and blown up now.
"It looks like I got here in time…" A familiar female voice that caught Neo Kabuto and Neo Gatack's attention as they look far to see a figure stood there with a gun.
Her left shoulder pad was similar to Neo Kabuto's but was somewhat more rounded, the top part is teal blue color and set with silver tubes that connected to a part of her torso armor. Her torso armor was black in color with a teal blue armor front that also acted as high rise neck guard. The tubes on the top of her left shoulder armor attached to this neck guard. Her right shoulder armor looked similar to dragonfly wing tips that were hidden underneath her torso armor. The upper center of her torso armor had two red plates that looked somewhat like bug eyes. The lower half had two long segmented tubes that wrapped around her back and sides and connected with the lower front of her torso armor, looking similar to insect legs.
Her helmet was also drastically different. It was mainly black with a silver metal fin on the top. The front of her helmet had a blue trimmed visor cover that had four semi-horizontal slits, allowing her segmented vision. The center of the eye plate had two red gem plates, giving the front of her face a similar look to that of a dragonfly's body; the sides outlined in silver. Jutting from the sides of the silver trim were four pointed ends colored a dark blue. The most bizarre feature was a long silver hose connected to her mouth plate, giving it the appearance of a respirator. This hose went down and then slung itself over the left side of her neck guard.
The front orb of his left shoulder plate also had a ZECT symbol in the shape of a dragonfly, the word ZECT placed on its body. This was Kamen Rider Drake Masked Form.
"Drake…" Neo Gatack said.
Drake stopped and fired her gun at the Worms and few Worms died from explode before reaching her. The Worm then charged and was engaged in a fight with Drake. Drake uses her gun as a melee weapon right now.
"Drake! What are you doing here?" The mystery girl asked.
"I will talk with you later." Drake said.
"Is that who I think it is?" Neo Gatack asked.
"I think so… but we have to help her." Neo Kabuto said.
The two Riders took out their weapons as they fought their ways from the Worms to Drake right now.
"Thanks you." Drake said.
"It's nothing." Neo Kabuto answered plainly. Drake didn't have time to argue and fought alongside with them.
"We need to get them out here fast since I overheard the Worms set some bombs to bring down this place." Drake explained.
"What?!" Neo Gatack said.
The Worm was soon distracted by Drake's shots right now before she pulls the ring on the throttle that was on the end of her gun. Just like the others, Drake's upper body armor looked like it was about to pop off as electricity surrounded it.
"Cast Off!" Drake announced as she pulled the trigger.
"CAST OFF!"
The armor scattered and some it hits the Worm, Neo Gatack dodged it, and Neo Kabuto easily stepped aside as an armor piece was coming for him.
The lower half of her suit remained the same but the upper half greatly changed. Her left shoulder armor was now in the shape of a dragonfly's head and was colored a dark cobalt blue. On the out end of it was a teal blue colored piece that looked its mandibles. Her chest armor had two silver ab-like pieces set on a black torso plate. The left side of her chest armor though seemed to have a more organic detail to it like that of underside of a dragonfly's body and was colored teal blue. The front and back of her torso armor had a pair of dragonfly wings that her right chest plate and also made up her right shoulder armor plate; the wings edged in a red color. The right inner side of her chest plate was also silver in color.
The armor on her right arm also changed. The armor was teal blue in color and segmented in places and the hand pad over her right hand looked similar to the two sharp points of the ending piece of a dragonfly's tail. Her helmet also underwent a new look. Though mostly black in color, her jaw line was trimmed in silver. The front of her helmet had a teal blue colored design of a dragonfly's body with the lower thorax acting as the mouth plate. Situated in the center of the body, just between her two dark blue eye pieces was a small red gem. Her dark blue eye pieces looked similar to the wings of a dragonfly. The small red gem glowed for a moment and then, along with her eye pieces, flashed for a few seconds, signaling that her transformation was complete. This was Kamen Rider Drake Rider Form.
"CHANGE DRAGONFLY!"
The Worms roared before used their Clock Up ability.
"Clock Up!"
"CLOCK UP!"
(In Clock Up)
The Worms was distracted by Neo Kabuto and Neo Gatack sent multiple slashes at them. Soon the two riders dodged as Drake pulled her gun's throttle.
"Rider Shooting."
"RIDER SHOOTING!"
Energy traveled up to Drake's helmet then back down to her gun as she aimed it with both hands. She pulled the trigger and the gun released a huge ball of energy and when it collided with the Worms.
(Out of Clock Up)
"We need to get out of here. This place is going down, White Heart." Drake said to the mystery blue haired girl.
This caught the blue haired girl in surprised but Purple Heart look at the mystery blue haired girl with wide eyes.
"You're… White Heart." Purple Heart said, surprised.
Before the two CPUs can get into conversation, Compa brought up something right now.
"But our path way is blocked by them…" Compa said. Soon there is more Worms coming from the entrance now.
"We will try to clear a pathway." Neo Gatack said.
"I will help as well." Sasword said.
"Cast Off!"
"CAST OFF!"
Sasword readied her sword as she got into her Rider Form.
"CHANGE SCORPION!"
"Clock Up!" All four riders shout.
"CLOCK UP!"
(In Clock Up)
The Riders soon begin their battles against the Worms right now. Drake fired multiple shots at the Worms to weaken them. Neo Kabuto slashed the Worms with his kunai. Sasword and Neo Gatack sent multiple slashes down to every Worms that they went passed by.
"Rider Kick!" Neo Kabuto and Neo Gatack shout at the same time.
"RIDER KICK!"
Neo Kabuto and Neo Gatack both jumped in the air and their kicks into the bulk of the horde, destroying them.
(End of Clock Up)
Soon the girls saw the Worms are destroyed as they decide to head out of the place right now as fast as they can when they noticed the walls are shaking now.
The mystery girl or, White Heart try to catch up when she accidently trip over a rock before seeing a large boulder about to fall on her head and no way of defend herself when her power are getting lower.
Suddenly Neo Kabuto step in front of her and slashed the boulder in half with his kunai blade.
"Why did—" White Heart suddenly got caught off guard when Neo Kabuto carried her in bride fashion right now and begin to move out. This caused her cheeks began to burn up right now.
"Let go off me! … Bastard-" White Heart shouts angrily. But Neo Kabuto chooses to ignore her right now before pushing the Clock up button.
"CLOCK UP!"
The group got out before the inside of the Dungeon blows with rubbles right now.
"Where is Ran?" Purple Heart asked.
"CLOCK OVER!"
Neo Kabuto appeared and he was carrying White Heart in bridal fashion.
"Bastard! Son of a bitch! Dumb as shit pervert!" White Heart cursing right now at him. She was about to punch him, but was caught in mid-flight.
White Heart saw a purple and black armored hand around her wrist and looked back to see Purple Heart right now.
The purple haired swordstress yanked the young girl up from Neo Kabuto's arms, giving her the cold hard stare right now, "… So you're here to finish what you start in Console war and trying to harm Ran as well? You dared…!"
Purple Heart wasn't sure why but after seeing Neo Kabuto carrying this girl somehow made her REALLY angry right now especially seeing White Heart trying to punch Neo Kabuto, her bodyguard, for saving her life!
"Let go, damn it!" White Heart shout, trying to released herself from the restrain of Purple Heart's hand on her right now.
But Purple Heart's grips are like iron right now before she throws her across the ground and send her to the tree right now.
Neo Gatack was thinking about intervene before Drake put a hand on his shoulder and shake her head right now.
"Should we stop them?" Neo Gatack asked.
"No… I see this couple of times before… you won't survive if involved with an affair of a CPU especially her." Drake explained as she shakes her head right now.
White Heart was about to get her large axe out right now before Drake put a hand on her shoulder now.
"What?" White Heart asked, annoyed.
"White Heart, I think that is enough." Drake said.
White Heart pushed Drake's hand off her shoulder and look back at Purple Heart right now with vigor.
"Stay out of this! I will settle this with her right now!" White Heart declared, pointed her axe at Purple Heart.
"Neptune…" Neo Kabuto began.
"Ran, stay back… She means business!" Purple Heart said, serious tone, as she positioned her futurist katana at White Heart's head right now.
Soon both CPUs got away from the riders as they clashed as the sound of weapons can be heard right now. The two CPUs glared at each other for a while before gone two different directions.
"This is how I want in the fight!" White Heart shouts, pulling out her gun and shot.
"Nep-Nep!" Compa shout.
Purple Heart fly through the sky while dodging White Heart's bullets, she comes close to punch White Heart by the stomach. White Heart groan but she delivers a sky upper against Purple Heart's face as this sending her back.
"You really should stay dead after the Console war…" White Heart said.
"Not yet…" Purple Heart said weakly as she got herself up. This seems to surprise White Heart as her eyes wide.
But how? Her thought as she watched Purple Heart come ran at her with a katana. Soon the riders and their friends watched as the two CPUs continue brawling each other.
But somehow Purple Heart has the upper hand right now and slammed White Heart to the snow right now.
White Heart groans, "Why the hell?! How did she still have strength to fight?!" she asked.
Before White Heart could reach for her weapon, she noticed Purple Heart disappear right now. "Where the hell did she go?!"
Soon White Heart saw a shadow and look up at Purple Heart with her katana in front of her face. Upon the impact, dust was kicked up all over the area as bits of the ground were destroyed and tossed around. Purple Heart still grips tightly on her katana as she wait for her opponent's next move.
"Damn it… I lost this fight? No, I just haven't gotta my full power back." White Heart said as she getting up slowly, covered in bruises and dirt.
Purple Heart was ready for any attack but she was surprised by her respond.
"Bye…" White Heart said. Soon the blue haired girl left the area as everyone watched her disappearing into the forest.
"She just left…" Purple Heart said. "Why did she come here to finish thing when the Console war ended?" she asked herself. Could that vision she saw was something from her past?
Sasword turned toward Drake and pointed her sword at the gun-user rider.
"Start talking. Who are you?" Sasword asked.
"Wait, IF! I think I already know who she is." Neo Gatack said as he gets between them.
"So these are the people, you end up looking after, Azuya… Ran…" Drake said, calmed. Suddenly the Drake Zecter soon flies off the Drake Grip as Drake's armor disappeared right now.
Sasword, Compa, and Purple Heart look startled by Drake's human form right now…
She has long brown hair, big rounded green eyes, wearing a hat and paled blue and red garment sleeveless combat uniform with a light blue cape, black shorts, detached sleeves with fingerless gloves, and brown boots with long white socks. But what disturbing was she looks exactly like…
"…Who are you?" Sasword asked shocked.
"This is our friend Rika Tachikawa." Ran said after denhenshined.
"It has been a while, Ran." Rika said, smiled.
(Location unknown)
Two shadow figures are talking in the shadow right now.
"It seems that the new Drake user followed us into this world… " Ketaro said.
"But we will finish them off especially the new Kabuto and Gatack." Another figure said who was holding onto a blue rose.
"Is that what you think, Caucasus?" Another figure asked. The third figure was hard to tell without any light but he isn't alone as there is a black kabutomushi beetle flying beside him.
"Don't underestimate them… especially Neo Kabuto and Neo Gatack…" the third figure said.
"Is that so? Even after our master saved your life... you sound like you cared about them…" Caucasus said.
The stranger seems to be snorted at Caucasus's words now, "Fear not… soon the new hell begins in this world as the CPUs… Arfoire… Histoire herself and the new Riders will fall into oblivion." The stranger said, "This world will be replaced by the Worms."
Who is this person?
To be continued…
