Freezing: At Mach Speed
Chapter 2: Accel Turn vs Mach Magaru
Inside West Genetics Academy's Boardroom...
Several scientists, teachers, politics and more are in the boardroom as they watch yesterday's footage between their pandora and this... "Kamen Rider".
[RIDER! MACH!] They watch carefully at this boy as he defeated one of their pandora with ease... and even more with this odd armor.
Something like this was unheard of! And yet there he is... Several of the politicians though that he should be in jail for attacking a pandora like that while others wanted to study him.
"I'm telling you... whoever this kid is, he needs to be incarceration for this! He attacked her!" Yelled out one of the politicians.
"That's blasphemy! This boy is a wonder to science! He needs to be studied... Imagine what would happen if we could gain that kind of power for the pandora!" Yelled out the scientist.
They started to argue back and forth as they tried to come up with a solution.
And sitting in a unique chair in the middle was a slightly older woman wearing a unique style of nun clothes. They were mostly white with some purple highlights some the arms, waist and head. With of course the symbol of Genetics on the cap.
This was Sister Margaret, and she just sit back and kept watching the footage, wanting to know a bit more about this young man.
This boy... he is quite skilled... He was able to figure out the weak points in Miss Roland's weapons and even was able to cast a unique freezing area without a pandora or even a limiter... Sister Margaret thought as she continued to watch the footage.
As she did the fight ended as this young man changed backed to normal. And once that happens she heard it.
[Otsukare!]
Her eyes then widened as she stood up. No... it can't be... She thought as the other members of this board looked at her confusingly.
"Sister Margaret? What is it?" Asked one of the politicians.
Sister Margret then turned her attention to them.
"Contact Miss Rinna Steinbelt, immediately." She asked them.
They all then looked at her even more confused than before.
"That won't be necessary, Sister Margaret." Replied a booming voice.
Just then the doors of the boardroom opened widely as someone walked in. She stood around 4 ft 8 inch, she had long brown hair and eyes, She also wore a lab coat with that same yellow "R" symbol on it.
"For you see... I'm already here for my son." Rinna said with a smile.
(Insert opening - Chance to Shine by AKINO )
The tune starts off small until the vocals start.
(Kimi ga warau, Kaze ga mieru)
We then see Cody sitting in the middle of a vicious battle field looking down as rain poured on him.
(Tsunai da sora, Toki no muko)
We then get a close up of Cody holding the Signal Bike Mach in his hand. Until Rana walks up and places her hand on his shoulder so he looks up at her.
(Sekai no hate de matteru)
Rana then smiles as the clouds slowly start clear up above them. It then makes Cody smile back as the sun shines on them both.
(Maiagare, Oshiminai yuuyake ni)
The camera then quickly pans up showing the title card brightly before it disappears.
(Inochi wa mezame utaeba)
We then see Japan's West Genetics Academy. Where we see Cody Aldrich smiling and holding up Signal Bike Mach next to Rana Linchen as she then grabs a hold of Cody's arm. As well as Kazuya Aoi standing next to Satellizer El Bridget as they both smile. And as they bump each other they both blush heavily.
Then the screen flashes images of the Nova attacking, Rogue Pandora, and even Mashin Chaser too.
(Kitto todoku)
Cody and Kazuya then slowly look at the camera with determined faces.
(You will get your chance to shine)
We then see Cody transform in Kamen Rider Mach as he charges into battle with Rana and Elizabeth.
(Akiramenai, de)
And as they battle more Pandora show up to help them. From the other students like Chiffon, to Cathy, and even Elizabeth too.
(Janpushite, Hashiridashite)
Cody uses several Signal Bikes as they give him his Signal Koukan. From it curving into enemies, splitting apart and even stopping them in their place.
(Omoi wa kitto kanau)
We even see him turning into Dead-Heat Mach as he charges into battle at blinding speeds.
(One day you will get your wings)
Kazuya sends out an Anti-Freezing Wave. Freezing all of their enemies as they take them down. It then cuts to Kazuya in the past as a child holding onto his sister Kuzuha, smiling happily.
(Hajimari wa ima)
It's then cut to Satellizer at a young age cowering from Luis in the dark before it shatters showing a confident Satellizer.
(You can fly through blue blue skies)
We then see several other Pandora with their limiters as well as Gengo Aoi, E-Pandora, and more.
(You can touch the blue blue sky)
We then see Rana is standing above Cody holding a box of food as he quickly gets up to chow down on them with her. And as they eat there camera then finally pans back up into the sky to show the title card one last time.
Meanwhile at West Genetics Academy's interrogation room...
Cody in the mean time was in the interrogation room, being questioned by Miss Yumi Kim as she read over a file she found on him.
"So... Cody Aldrich, Age 17, Oh from america eh? Parents: Rex Aldrich and Maria Aldrich, Both deceased, As well as a deceased older sister named Aurora Aldrich, Adopted by Miss Rinna Steinbelt, and was on his way to a prestigious academy in america too... And yet... here you are in japan... attacking one of my students.." Said Yumi Kim as she closed the file.
She looked at him as he was leaning back on the chair as he tried to balance a pencil on his finger.
She lightly growled in anger as she slammed her hands on the table.
"Will you please take this seriously?!" She yelled out at him. To which caught him off guard as he fell onto the floor.
He then got back up as he sat down, rubbing his head.
"Ow... And I am Miss... But I'm telling you the truth. I was sent here by Miss Rinna Steinbelt. She enrolled me here... If you can just give me a chance to call her I can prove-" Cody was explaining before he was interrupted by Yumi.
"And I'm telling you, that you're lying. Miss Rinnia Steinbelt did not send you here. She's still in the UK facility, working on something to combat the Nova. There's no way she would deal with some bratty kid. Now can you tell me why you attacked Miss Roland? As well as what that power was that you used?" Yumi said to him.
"I was teaching that brat a lesson! Don't blame me for doing your job!" Cody exclaimed.
That got Yumi to stand up quickly. "What was that you punk?!" Snapped Yumi.
Cody stood up as well as he glared at her. "You heard me you hag!" Snapped Cody.
That was the wrong choice of words. Yumi then grabbed Cody and placed him in a choke hold as he tried to break free.
"Who's a hag now, you brat?!" She said as she struggled to keep him still.
Cody grunted and lightly coughed as he struggles against her hold. "Did I stutter hag?" He growled at her.
Yumi growled back as she then put him in another hold as she twisted his arm.
He groaned from the pain that he was being given as he glared at her.
"I'm sorry... what was that? I couldn't hear it from your wails." Yumi stated as she put some pressure on his joint.
As they were butting heads, Elize was watching it all as she drank some coffee.
I swear.. these two act more like siblings than anything... She thought as she she saw Cody the putting Yumi into a hold of his own, with the biggest grin on his face.
Elize sighed as she rubbed her temples a bit. But just then phone rang next to her as she quickly picked it up.
"Elize here. What is-" She was cut off as she heard her orders.
"I... Yes ma'am... I understand." She replied as she put the phone back down. She then pressed the com that lead into the interrogation room.
"Yumi, that's enough." She told her as she saw Yumi putting Cody in another hold. She looked up at her confused.
"Orders from Sister Margret. Someone is about to come see him. You don't need to be so rough with him now." She said to them as she shut off the com.
"HA! I win!" He gloated before Yumi elbowed him in the stomach. He coughed and groaned as he looked up at her as she left the room.
Yumi then walked into the booth where Elize was in as she looked at her.
"So, whos the one coming to see him?" Yumi asked her.
Elize just smirked and waved her finger, not wanting to spoil anything. Yumi just looked at Elize, confused. But she just shrugged as she looked through the one way mirror into the interrogation room.
As they saw Cody sit back down the door finally opens. But as soon as Cody saw who was coming in, he stood up and backed up a bit as they saw some minor fear in him.
They then saw who came in. A woman around her mid 40's walked in. She had long brown hair and eyes to match. She mostly wore a white lab coat with a yellow "R" on the front side pocket, a black turtle neck with a long green skirt.
Cody gulped as he saw who it was to which did surprise Yumi.
"H-Hey Rinna- OWOWOWOWOWO!" Cody wailed out as Rinna pinched his cheek hard.
Yumi was surprised about this... this was the scientist Rinna Steinbelt. The widowed wife of Krim Steinbelt. A genius scientists who died during the 8th Nova Clash that occurred 5 years ago.
She heard of how Rinna continued Krim's work on fighting the Nova, but she was still surprised she was here in the flesh. She also smirked at what Rinna was doing to Cody.
He on the other hand was groaning in pain as Rinna kept pinching his cheek until she finally let go of him.
"And you'll get more if you keep acting like this Cody..." Rinna said angered.
He just rubbed his cheek from the pinch. "Hello to you too Rinna..." He said to her softly.
"So what are you doing here? I thought you had a board meeting in UK then China?" He asked her.
"Well... for starters..." She said as she pinched his cheek again. He yelped from the pain again, and from the same spot too!
"And the other reason is cause you came here way too early... You weren't supposed to be at West Genetics until next week." She stated as she let go of his cheek.
Yumi watched this as she looked at Cody as he rubbed his cheek again.
So he wasn't lying... He was enrolled here... just not until next week... Yumi thought as she should've given him the benefit of the doubt.
"Sorry... I just got too excited..." He said softly as he messed with the pencil on the table.
Rinna sighed as she sat down next to him. "I know... But you could've waited a bit longer... Not to mention you spoiled the surprise to everyone today. That wasn't supposed to happen yet either. I was hoping to show the board while you face against the newest Rank 1 of your year..." She said softly.
"Well... I did face her." He said as he looked up at Rinna.
Rinna was a bit surprised by this. She then quickly got out her pen and paper.
"Really? What did you think? What was the longest you went at her?" She said as she asked him several questions.
Cody sighed but smiled. Rinna was always one for numbers, experiments and study.
"Well... not too long. I think only about a minute at best. As for what I thought... This... "Rank 1" didn't feel like it... She was a 6 at best." He chuckled.
Rinna nodded as she wrote down his experience.
"And no. I didn't even get to use the other Signal Bikes or even Shift Cars for that matter. She was very predictable spite her using Pandora Mode." He said as he leaned back in his chair.
Rinna looked at him, surprised. "Any feedback from the belt?" She asked him.
Cody just shook his head. "Nah... Still feels okay. Unlike that time a few years ago. You know I'm still suffering minor migraines from that experiment right?" He stated as he rubbed his temples. She then sighed for relief as she finished writing up her report.
"Well, since you got some field tests in already.. I won't be harder on you." Rinna said with a smile.
He smiled again as he stood up. She hugged him as she gave him a room key and let him go out. Rinna smiled as she looked at the mirror as Yumi and Elize turned on the lights so she can see them.
"I'm sorry my son made such a fuss Miss Yumi. I hope he didn't cause any trouble for you?" She asked her.
Yumi sighed but waved her hand. "No it's okay. He is a good kid, spite him being so rash and a bit bratty." She replied back.
"But if I may ask... what was that thing he used?" Yumi asked curiously.
Rinna lowered her head a bit. "Just... an old idea from my husband..." She said softly.
Yumi and Elize looked at each other a bit before they turned their heads back to Rinna.
Later on after the interrogation, Rinna joined Yumi and Elize as they head towards the boardroom to answer any question the staff of Genetics want to know.
Rinna sighed heavily. She never liked doing board meetings. She rather just message them, but they wanted answers so she had no choice.
They then walked through the doors as all of the staff was their, waiting for her to return.
Rinna walked up to Sister Margaret as she gave her the rest of the reports. She did wanted to do a bit more, but if they were satisfied for now, they can always do more tests to see his abilities.
Sister Margaret looked through the files carefully, wanting to know much as possible before any questions were asked of Rinna.
Once that was done, she gave her the file back. Rinna happily took them as she putt hem away in the briefcase she had with her.
"Now... before we ask you any question Lady Rinna... is there anything you want to ask us?" Sister Margaret asked.
Rinna smiled and nodded to her. "Yes... Can Cody start tomorrow?" She asked them.
The rest of the board staff looked at each other confused. They thought that she wanted a week before enrolling him into the school? But now she wants him to start so soon?
Sister Margaret was also a bit confused. But she was able to figure it out easily.
"Is this because he came here too early?" She asked Rinna.
Rinna sighed and nodded slightly to the question. Sister Margaret giggled a bit. She heard he was a bit impatient, but not to this extent.
"Very well. He can start tomorrow morning." Sister Margaret replied.
Rinna smiled and thanked her before sending Cody the text about him starting now.
Once she got a message back she turned to the staff before sitting down next to Sister Margaret.
"So! What are these questions you wanted to know?" Rinna asked as she looked at the rest of the staff.
The next day...
Cody was in his new dorm room getting ready for school. Even though he was dressed already, he was in annoyance and sighed at what he had to wear.
It was the school uniform and there was a specific dress code. But if just felt too well... bland for him. the color was a sickly bad light tan color for the vest, and pants were an okay color, but they had an odd itch to them. and the shoes... just felt cheap.
It was just very uncomfortable... He would've just used his regular clothes but Rinna stated he had to wear these...
Cody just groaned as he tired to get his tie to work right.
"Man... how can they just wear this crap? It feels like my body is decaying from this stuff..." He groaned out before throwing the tie to the ground.
He sighed again as he looked up at the ceiling.
Sis... what would you do if you were here instead of me? He thought out.
He closed his eyes for a second as he tried to picture it again... That old memory...
Flashback...
A slightly younger Cody, no more than 7, was in his sister's room, sitting on her lap.
She was very beautiful, 17 years old with long brown hair and two bright blue eyes. She was wearing a white dress and shoes to match.
This was his older sister Aurora... and she along with his parents were the most important things in the world for him.
And in her hand was what looked like a letter.. with the logo of Genetics on it.
She read it through and through before Cody looked up at her with a slight frown.
"Are... are you going to have to go away sis?" He asked her.
Aurora stopped reading as she looked down at him. She smiled and ruffled his hair.
"No... I'm not going anywhere Cody... If I did I wouldn't be able to see you grow up now would I?" She told him with a smile.
He smiled back a bit before looking down.
"But... Dad said that you have these.. Stigmetics or whatever in you... And these make you very special..." He said to her softly.
Aurora giggled at his attempt to say Stigmata's.
"Yes I do have them... but I don't plan to use them to fight Cody... I promise you that I won't ever leave you." She replied to him as she hugged him.
"Promise?" He asked her.
"I promise..." She replied as she kissed his forehead.
Flashback ends.
Cody opened his eyes as he reached into his pocket to bring out a small locket. He opened it and inside was him and his family on one side of it and a slightly older version of him with Rinna and a matured man next to her.
He sighed again until he heard a knock at the door. Curious on who it is he walked over and opened it up.
There standing right in front of him was Miss Yumi standing there with a package in her arms.
"Oh uh... hey there." He said to her.
"Hey to you too." Yumi replied as she smiled to him.
"Not bad on the uniform though. You look nice." She said to him.
He chuckled a bit as he scratched the back of his head. "Yeah.. but it just feels odd to me..." He replied back to her.
Yumi giggled a bit. "Yeah, Miss Rinna figured that. So she made this for you." She said as she gave him the package.
"Now, hurry up. Don't want to miss your first class now don't ya?" She asked as she gave him a wink before heading out.
He smiled as he closed the door to open his gift.
Inside was what looked like a new Genetics uniform. But the vest was white with some light blue highlights on the forearm and wrist. On the back was a yellow "R" on it with a red and white stripped hood on top. Below was black pants with purple highlights near the ankles. and finally there was two black shoes with another yellow "R" on the soles of the shoes.
And to top it off there was a small letter on it addressed to him. He opened up the letter to see that Rinna had to say.
Dear Cody,
I hope you like this new outfit I made for ya? I had to promise the Board on a few tings to allow them to let you wear this. I figured the standard uniform would be a pain for you. So I had to do an all nighter just to make this for ya.
This uniform is specifically made for you. It corresponds with not only you Signal Bikes and the Shift Cars, but it can also help your Density Shift too. No worries if you worried on it accidentally casting out in the middle of a lecture or something. This should contain it. As well as a hidden storage to conceal your driver as well as the Signal Bikes and Shift Cars too!
This way you can be a bit more controlled on it's power and you'll be able to use it anytime you want.
Now be good and don't get into fights... "much". And promise me you'll do a check up with me every week okay?
Good luck!
Rinna.
Cody smiled at the letter as he put it away in his drawer. He then quickly got his new uniform on to feel it.
"Hmm.. not bad... It feels nice and I don't feel like I'm being strangled. Heh... Well best get to class!" He said to himself as he grabbed his backpack.
He then turned to his left before smiling. "Come on you guys. Let's go too." He said.
Several horns calls can be heard as the several Signal Bikes and Shift Cars fly out and around Cody before heading into the Storage in his uniform. But the Signal Bike Mach flies out, carrying his driver as he drops it off to him.
He catches it before putting it in his back pocket as Signal Mach lands in his hand.
"Let's show them what we can do!" He said to his Signal Bike.
It honked back at him happily as he placed it in his front pocket before heading out.
Cody smiled as he finally reached the inside pf the school. He looked around at the place. He was a bit curious on what it looked like and now, he's here.
Although he noticed a lot of people were looking at him. Most of their looks arranged from, "Who's that?" or "Is this guy serious?"
But most of the looks were that of shock and surprise. Some of the students knew him from yesterday's battle against Ganessa.
Guess I shouldn't be so surprised about their looks... He thought as he kept walking.
And as he did the small whispers began to come as well.
He couldn't tell what they were saying but he didn't care for it either, all he needed to do was get to class and deal with the drama later.
It didn't take him long to find the class he needed to be in. And as he opened the door, he saw not only Miss Yumi there but the guy he saw next to the pandora he saved as well.
Yumi and the class turned to where Cody was at. Yumi smiled at him and gestured for him to come closer.
Cody nodded as he stood right next to the guy as Yumi began introductions.
"Alright class. Today we have two new students here today." She said before turning to them.
"Hello my name is Kazuya Aoi. It's a pleasure to meet you all. I'm a transfer student for a first year." Kazuya said before bowing lightly.
"And I'm Cody Aldrich. Hope we can all get along as well? And I'm also a transfer student. But I'm a second year." Cody said as he bowed lightly as well.
Once they stopped bowing, Cody saw a few people looking at him with surprised expressions.
Yumi noticed this as well as she decided to take some action. "Now I bet some of you all already know these two. Well for now, let's just keep those thoughts until after class okay? Now Kazuya, Cody. You two can take your seats now." She said.
They both nodded as they went towards the back of the class where the last two empty seats were at.
And as they passed a few of the students, a few of the girls looked at each other before giggling softly and whispered to one another.
"Oh wow! They both are so cute"
"I like the new guy's, clothes. He's so my type!"
"I wonder if they both have any partners yet?"
Several of these whispers murmured out before Yumi slammed her book on the table.
"ANYWAYS... Let's have class start alright then?" She yelled out to the class so they all can pay attention.
Cody smirked a bit as he sat down and got his books out, ready to see what this school has to offer?
Meanwhile...
In the Genetics infirmary, Ganessa was all bandaged up as was looking at the ceiling, thinking of that battle.
She kept looking up as she remember the whole thing.
How she was about to teach Satellizer a lesson, about who she was going to show everyone who is the best...
But he then came in... This... new boy... this... "Kamen Rider"...
He just came out of nowhere, strong armed her and even defeated her... in front of everyone at the school no less!
She growled in anger as she clenched her fist tightly.
Mach... whoever you are... I promise you this much... You will pay for humiliating me... She thought to herself.
Suddenly the doors opened up. She turned to her side to see a young liiter standing there. He had on the same regular uniform as every other limiter, but he had blonde hair and was carrying some roses.
Ganessa smiled as she knew who this was. This was her limiter, Arthur Clipton.
He smiled as he walked up and placed the roses in the vase next to her.
"How's my favorite pandora doing?" Arthur flirted as he smiled at her, doing his best to cheer her up.
The bad flirting made her giggle as she smiled at him.
"Good, sides from being in here. What are you doing here Arthur? You're supposed to be in class..." She asked him.
Arthur grabbed a small wet rag as he began to clean up some of the dirt on her.
"Just felt like I needed to be here for you. I am your limiter after all. Its my job to help you out. "He retorted with a smile.
Ganessa sighed knowing she wasn't going to win this one.
"So.. what happened? Last thing I heard was that you won the Carnival. How are you so beaten up already?" He asked her.
Ganessa gritted her teeth as she glared at him. "Never mind about that! It doesn't concern you!" She snapped at him
This took Arthur by surprise. Ganessa never snapped at him. Not since they became partners...
Ganessa... what happened? Arthur thought to himself as he ignored that yell and kept cleaning her arm up.
Back at Genetics...
The first period was finally done as lunch was being served, Cody was walking with Kazuya since he wanted to know more about Cody.
And he didn't mind. Everyone here had the right to know after all. But Kazuya wasn't like the others, He didn't want to know how he could get those powers too unlike a few of the others.
No... He was more on the question of how he got them and why?
But before Cody decided to give him some answers, he needed food most of all.
And he had to admit... Genetics had the biggest buffet he has ever seen!
They did look good...
"Hey! Kazuya!" Yelled out someone.
Both Cody and Kazuya turned to see Arthur along with a pandora next to him. She had the same uniform for the girls but she had short, scarlet hair with a clip on one of the bangs.
Both Arthur and the girl walked up to them.
"Kazuya, meet Kaho Hiiragi. The Class rep for our class room." Arthur explained as he introduced them to her.
"It's nice to meet you two. Hope we can all get along?" Kaho said with a smile.
"Uh... It's nice to meet you too" Kazuya replied as he bowed.
"Likewise." Cody said as he smiled back.
"So I take it you're the new guy everyone has been talking about?" Arthur asked as he walked up to Cody.
"Yeah I am. Just don't trust much of the rumors thats going around right now..." Cody sweatdropped.
"Heh... Trust me, I won't." Arthur chuckled lightly.
As they walked around to get some food, Cody saw a rather huge line near what looked like a fast food area.
He turned to the others, wondering about that place? "Say? Whats with the line right there?" He asked them.
"Oh thats Burger Queen. It's a new place that just opened up, and its becoming quite popular. Although it is rumored to have around 5000 calories in one meal... So its not the best place to eat all the time unless you have a high metabolism." Kaho replied.
"Burger... Queen? It that supposed to be some imitation version of Burger King and Diary Queen?" Cody said with a chuckle.
Kaho giggled at the similarities. Cody smiled from her giggle as he walked over to the area to grab a few burgers.
Using the Mach suit used a lot of energy, so eating these would help keep up with the strain and energy consumption from it.
After they all grabbed some food, they sat down near the fountain near by as they dug into the food.
"So Cody? Can I ask you something?" Kazuya asked as he looked at him.
Cody turned to Kazuya, wondering what he wanted to know? So he just nodded to him.
"What... what exactly is a Kamen Rider?" He asked.
This was a bit surprising. He wanted to know what it was of all things huh?
Arthur looked at Kazuya then to Kaho. "Kamen Rider?" He asked confused.
"That's supposedly his name or even title he goes by. He shouted it out yesterday when he fought against Ganessa." Kaho whispered to him.
Ah... so that's where those injuries came from... But I'm sure he had some reason to fight her. He doesn't seem like the type to start random fights. Arthur thought as he looked back at Cody and Kazuya.
Cody swallowed the food he was eating so he could talk to them.
"Well... It's mostly the title that was given due to the system Rinna and Krim made. It's supposed to be the new warriors to help out the Pandora and protect the innocent. They are meant to help out and save all. They are protectors and warriors... There were several other systems that were made before mine. But so far each one ended in failure..." Cody explained as he took out Signal Mach.
"But after awhile they made one that worked." He said lightly as he looked at the Signal Bike more.
"And... thats what you have now?"" Kazuya asked.
Cody just shook his head lightly. "No... mine is more of the byproduct of the system that worked..." He replied softly.
Several memories then started to flood back in. Ones he tried his best to repress and forget. But they came flooding back and that old worried, regret came in as well...
Kazuya saw his look and was a bit confused. But before he could ask anything else Cody got up and grabbed the last few burgers on his plate.
"Sorry.. but I'm going to go right now..." He said softly before leaving.
Did... I say something wrong? Kazuya thought as Cody left the area.
He looked at the others seeing if they knew what was wrong but they just shrugged it off, not knowing why he left.
On the rooftop...
Cody sighed lightly as he was leaning next to the railing of the rooftop. He had one of the wrappers in his hand as he tossed it off of the room. It flew a bit beofre landing into the trashcan on the ground.
He then took out Signal Mach and looked at it. Still feeling the regret of him having this.
"I figured you would be up here..." A voice replied out to him.
Cody turned to see Miss Yumi walking up to him. He sighed a bit at her sight as he turned back to the view.
"Is it that obvious?" He asked her.
Yumi leaned on the railing next to him as she smiled a bit to try and cheer him up.
"So far from what Rinna stated, you always like to go some place high up to escape your troubles. And this place is the highest vantage point here." She replied.
She looked to see him still glued to looking at the Signal Mach with a worried look on his face.
"Whats wrong? you can tell me Cody. I am your teacher after all." She asked him.
"Its just... old memories is all..." He replied back to her.
"Tell me. It's my job after all." She said to him.
Cody sighed again as I looked at her.
"Well... I just feel... kinda overwhelmed right now... With this power and now here of all places. At first I was very ecstatic about this place... But now that I think about it more... I kinda feel like... like I wasn't supposed to be here. I was thrown into this battle because of my family dying. Krim and Rinna did help ease that pain by adopting me and not wanting me to get involved.. but after Krim died as well... I... I felt like I needed to get back at the Nova for this." Cody explained.
Yumi listened to his plea. And she understood it well.
"I can understand Cody... You feel like your freedom was taken away from you in order to be in this fight. It feels like you're now becoming a puppet with no way of being free again. You want it to stop and go back to what they were... but all you're left with is old memories from long ago, reminding you that this is real and you can't change it..." She said to him.
He looked up at her, surprised that she had this feeling as well.
"Yeah... but... how can I coupe with this now?" He asked her.
"With the people who care for you... I can't tell you how many times my friends here helped me through all those dark times. I know it can hurt and possibly make you want to give up. But you can't. You now have a duty after all. And you are one of many here who can do it. And with your abilities, I know you can mange it. Sides, you might even find someone you're destined to be with after all?" Yumi smiled as he placed her hand on him.
Cody smiled back. He was glad, not only to have someone who understood this problem, but as well as show him some way to coupe with it.
"Thanks Miss Yumi... I think I needed to hear that..." He replied to her.
Yumi smiled back as she ruffled his hair.
"Good. Cause if I see you up here again being moppy, I'm going to have to give you some more lessons in pain. Got it?" She smirked as she flexed her arm at him.
"Heh... with those saggy arms? You couldn't grip a chicken." He chuckled at her.
She smiled back as she playfully punched his arm before heading to the stairs. But before she opened them she turned to Cody.
"If you ever need something, let me know okay?" She asked him.
"Of course... and thank you." Cody replied to her.
Yumi smiled as she went back downstairs to do some more work.
Cody sighed happily, feeling better now from that talk. Although he would need to go back and apologize to Kazuya and the others about his absence.
But before that something caught the corner of his eye. A small flash, a dot of light. Something was over there.
He turned his head to one of the roofs of the area to see a few people standing upon it.
Cody squinted his eyes a bit to focus on that rooftop.
Kazuya? Cody thought to himself.
And sure enough Kazuya was there. Along with Satellizer El Bridget. The Untouchable Queen. A name that was spread throughout the school.
He heard some things from Rinna and Yumi about the other students. And she was the most infamous name out there for the second year.
He heard many of the rumors about her not wanting any partners for some unknown reason. Some say its cause she can't trust anyone, while others say that she killed her last partner and so on.
Cody didn't pay attention to the rumors since they hold no facts. Although so far it seems Kazuya does want to try and be her partner.
And he hopes that he can do it. No one should be alone. Especially a Pandora and her partner.
But... sides them there were four other people. 3 guys and 1 female. The guys he didn't recognize much, but the female on the other hand... he knew of her...
She was pretty tall. almost the same height as Yumi. She had Navy blue hair that was shortened. As well as a big bust size for someone of her age...
This pandora Cody knew well from Rinna's report of the few Third Years... This was Miyabi Kannazuki... Also known as the Limiter Eater...
As the info goes... this girl doesn't even care about fighting Nova. She seems to only care for good looking limiters and uses them as her toys... so far those three are the only ones that she hasn't thrown away... the ones that she did throw away have almost all of their Stigmata's removed... some of them had to quit school while others are still in recovering...
This witch is nothing more than a black widow... Only caring for lust and pleasure...
Cody watched as they seemed to talk for a bit until Miyabi drew out her weapon. Several small Volt Daggers that floated in the air.
She started her attack but Satellizer was able to deflect her attacks with ease.
She is good... She is quite the prodigy... Cody thought as he watched this fight go on.
As long as things don't escalate, I don't need to intervene... He thought as he kept watching.
So far Satellizer was able to match her blow for blow. She even used a special move only reserved for Third Years.
"The Accelerated Turn..." He said to himself.
He knew of this as well... A special skill that allows the user to move at high speeds...
He shouldn't have been surprised by this from Miyabi since she is a third year. But Satellizer using it?!
Cody grinned to himself as he saw Satellizer overpowering Miyabi.
She definitely has what it takes to be the Number 1 Pandora in the world... He thought to himself with a chuckle.
And he wasn't the only one surprised. Miyabi had a face of shock as she saw this second year beating her.
They kept clashing bit by bit as their blade contact with one another. Neither of them gaining any room.
Suddenly that changed... with one last strike blood was finally drew.. but from Miyabi's face.
She knelled to the ground shaking a bit as she touched the small wound on her face.
She then let out a blood curdling scream of fear as her "perfect face" was ruined.
Cody smirked at the sight. Hope this will wake her up from being so stuck up huh?
But that smirk of joy turned to a worried frown as he saw Miyabi and her three limiters glowing.
"Now... Erienbar Set!" Miyabi yelled out.
A large Freezing area was then formed around Kazuya and Satellizer.
This shocked Cody... They were using this against them? Just what is going on here?!
"Grr... I don't have time to wait!" Cody growled out as he rushed towards that rooftop.
As Satellizer groaned from the Freezing area effect, she had no choice but to retreat. She knelled down and jumped up high into the air, surprised Miyabi.
Her face was that of shock and surprise. "Impossible... Even with the Freezing Area incomplete, especially with three limiters, she shouldn't be able to jump that high!" Miyabi stated in disbelief.
Once in the air Satellizer looked down to see Kazuya struggling to move.
I can't just leave him alone like that... She thought out in concern.
She then quickly landed to the ground as she reached out towards Kazuya.
Satellizer... Kazuya thought as he reached towards her as well.
But before their hands met, Miyabi's volt daggers flew out and struck Satellizer, knocking her back from his reach.
And as soon as she moved back a faint glow shinned as it forced Elizabeth to the ground, stopping both her and Kazuya from moving.
"Freezing Area now complete Miss Miyabi..." Said one of the Limiters.
She smiled knowing that they can't move now. She then walked over to Satellizer who was trying her best to struggle out of the area, but to no vial.
"I must say... You humiliating me wasn't enough for you.. But to cut my face? I don't know what to do now..." Miyabi said before she kicked Satellizer in the ribs.
Everyone could hear a few of the bones cracking form the force before Miyabi punched Satellizer again.
Kazuya on the other hand was struggling more and more to stop this. He didn't want her to get hurt more.
"I think that's enough punishment for now... But I'm still not satisfied... how about you apologize for inflicting this wound on me?!" Miyabi growled.
Satellizer was slowly about to form some words. Miyabi at first thought she was going to apologize to her... Instead... she got something else...
"Please... let the boy go..." Was all Satellizer could say.
Miyabi growled in anger, she then started to wail on her again. This second year was humiliating her by not only addressing to her, but also stopping her from collecting another limiter for her collection.
She knew this second year had to pay... dearly...
Kazuya was having enough, he didn't want to just sit there and let this happen. He needed to take some action.
"Please stop! How can you be so cruel? This is just sadistic!" Kazuya yelled out.
Miyabi just looked at him with pity. She first thought that he wold be perfect.. but he just kept going back to the Untouchable Queen!
"Jim... take care of this brat..." Miyabi asked as one of the other limiters nodded and started to walk towards Kazuya.
"Whatever you say Miss Miyabi..." Jim said coldly as he got closer to Kazuya.
"Oh... and once you're done, tear out his Stigmata... He won't need them anymore..." She said.
"No... please don't hurt him!" Satellizer pleaded.
Miyabi grinned as she got behind Satellizer to make her look at Kazuya.
"I want you to remember this the next time we meet... Remember how much pain you see in his eyes..." She whispered as she forced Satellizer to look.
Kazuya on the other hand was shaking as this guy got closer to him.
But as soon as his hand reached towards Kazuya, a blast of energy shot past them. Making them all look at the direction of the shot.
Kazuya smiled and sighed in relief at who was standing there.
"Cody... thank god!" He said happily.
Cody smirked as he twirled his Zenrin Shooter a bit.
"I saw the commotion from the other side of the school. I didn't like where it was going..." Cody replied as he glared at Miyabi.
She let go of Satellizer as she stood up.
"Ah... so you're the other transfer student that I heard so much about..." She said as she looked at Cody thoroughly.
"Hmm... not bad, but you're not my type... Why don't you beat it second year?" She stated as she turned her back to him.
Just then another blast shot out as it struck near her foot. She quickly turned to him as he glared at her more.
"Sorry... but I'm not leaving..." He said to her.
"You think you can beat me boy? you might beaten Ganessa... but as a Third Year... I am leagues above her!" She growled as she produced more Volt Daggers.
Cody just smirked as he strapped on the Mach Driver.
"Yeah yeah... keep telling yourself that hag." He said as he lifted up the Signal Mach.
Miyabi's eyes widened with anger as some veins can be shown on her forehead.
"H-HAG?! That's it! You're dead meat!" She snapped as she threw her daggers at him.
"Henshin!" He yelled out as he placed in the Signal Bike.
SIGNAL BIKE!
RIDER! MACH!
The energy tire appeared as it bounced the daggers off of it as the armor formed around Cody quickly.
He then took his weapon as he parried the daggers.
"Tsuiseki..." He stated as he pointed to her. He then dodged a few more daggers.
"Bokumetsu..." He said as he clenched his fist at them.
"Izure mo..." More daggers flew at him as he dodged and parried them again.
"Mach!" He then smirked at her under his mask.
"Kamen Rider! Mach!" He then spun his arm around until he got into that same pose again.
Miaybi growled at his antics. "If you want to play this game... Then so be it!" She snapped.
Energy formed around as she disappeared in a flash. Suddenly sparks flew off of Cody's armor.
He grunted in pain as he turned around to see some daggers on the floor. Then more sparks flew off again. Kazuya and Satellizer gasped in shock from this.
Another set of sparks flew off from his side as he skid back a bit. Miyabi appeared in front of him with a sadistic grin on her face.
"Like I said... Leagues above..." She said with a evil chuckle before disappearing.
More sparks flew off from his armor as he tried to fight back.
She maybe fast... But I can be faster! Cody thought out.
He then slammed on the button of his belt.
MACH!
Cody turned as he blocked her next attack. but then more sparks flew off as he grunt and held his side.
"I saw your tricks already... If thats the fastest you can go, then I'm disappointed!" Miyabi stated as she kicked him away.
He skidded back a bit and regained his bearings.
"If thats what you want, then thats what you'll get!" He yelled out.
He then slammed the button again but this time this hits were rapidly.
ZUTTO! MACH!
The visor then glowed a bit before he disappeared too. And in an instant Cody appeared with his fist thrust forward into Miyabi's face.
She skidded back as she rubbed her cheek and looked at him with surprise, along with everyone else there.
"How... how did yo do that?" She asked him.
"Heh... Mach is just my name in this form ya know? With a few presses I can go at Mach speed in an instant. And by Mach speed. I mean Mach 6 at best." He replied to her.
"M-Mach 6?" She stuttered out.
Yup. If you want to give up now that's fine with me?" Cody chuckled out.
"Grr... As if!" She growled.
She disappeared again with Cody only sighing a bit.
"Still won't learn eh? Well... Lets see what this guy has to say?" He said to himself as he lifted up the side of the driver.
He took out Signal Mach as he switched it with another bike. This one was green and had a curved symbol on it, something that you see in a traffic area.
SIGNAL BIKE!
He then closed the driver to activate this new power.
SIGNAL KOUKAN! MAGARU!
So far nothing changed of the suit, but the little shoulder pad with the small tire did change.
It gained the same curved symbol that was on the Signal Bike.
And once Miyabi was close, he counted her attacked by blocking he strike before throwing a punch at her.
She dodged it of course but Cody quickly turned around before shooting off a round.
But instead of moving forward, Cody quickly pressed the button again on the belt.
MAGARU!
The energy bullet slowly stopped before quickly making a u-turn. Once it did, it hit Miyabi's arms, making her drop her dagger.
"Woah! Amazing..." Kazyua muttered.
"H-How... how did you do that?!" Miyabi yelled.
Cody tapped the Signal Bike in his belt.
"Magaru... Or Curve as its translated. This little guy makes sure any blast I shoot at can curve around any object or even where my enemy could be. After your several attacks, I as able to predict your movements a bit. Plus since Zutto is still in effect for now, I can see your movements with ease." He explained as he twirled his gun again.
"W-Why you little!" Miyabi growled as she produced some more daggers.
"THAT'S ENOUGH!" Boomed out a voice.
Everyone turned to the stairs to see Chiffon and Yumi standing there with a displeased look on their face.
"Chiffon! Miss Yumi! Thank goodness..." Kazuya sighed in relief.
"Miss Miyabi... Usually we looked the other way of your antics... but today you have gone too far! As student council president it is my job to protect everyone here. And your actions here proved that we should've take care of this long ago..." Chiffon stated.
"Miyabi Kannazuki... You're going to have to go to the brig for awhile... and we will be talking about this to you and your family..." Yumi stated as she placed her hand on Miyabi.
She glared at Cody while Chiffon helped Kazuya and Satellizer out from the Freezing area.
Yumi then walked to Cody who changed back to normal. She sighed and just slapped him on the back of the head.
"OW! What was that for?" He asked her as he rubbed his wound.
"For not coming to get me to settle this matter. you're lucky two of your classmates were passing by otherwise who knows what could've happened?" Yumi explained as Arthur and Kaho walked into view.
Cody sighed and nodded, knowing he could've told her in time before any real damage was done.
"Now... you all best go to the infirmary to get patched up alright?" Yumi asked them as they all nodded.
Yumi sighed a bit. He does have a good heart though... I just hope nothing worst will happen... She thought as she took Miyabi to the brig.
Meanwhile...
As they all left the view, from across the rooftops stood a very shot girl. she had silver hair wit two curled pigtails. She had a very displeased look on her face.
"So... not only is Kazuya Aoi being a minor problem.. but both the Untouchable Queen and this... Kamen Rider are also becoming nuisances... Maybe it's high time the Third Years teach them... a very valuable lesson..." She stated as she walked off from the view.
A/N: Hey minna! so very very sorry on getting this out so late... Work this past two weeks were just draining... So to make it up to you all I shall be doing my best later today to post up two more chapters. One for here and one fore the Seven Deadly Sins fic! Or at least I hope I can. :P
Also yeah I know that the small little regret thing is a bit cliche, but like I said before, I'm trying my best to make this into a good story, so it needs to have something for some development. I do hope you all can understand? Till then, later minna!
