Time Stream, Inside the Tardis.
His energy restored he heard a faint hum, like that of a heartbeat if only in rhythm. "What have you brought inside you now, old friend! You know we are in far too much of a rush to pick up hitchhikers let alone a capsule!" He listened, waiting for a second voice but, it never came. "I do believe I should get rid of it, old friend!" He didn't like hearing those words so he began to pound on his prison in a rage. "Something is in there!"
The sound of buzzing echoed into the capsule. The energy field dropped and as it did he fell out. He was clad in a black suit of armor that was trimmed in white. He wore a pair armored boots and armored chest plate. The chest plate had twin crimson spheres imbedded within it. On his shoulders he wore guards that bore an 'L' on the right one and a 'Z' on the left. Protruding from his helm was a long blood red ponytail. Opening his eyes he looked up at his would be captor.
His current captor was in long flowing robes decorated in gold lining. The top of his head was bald as though he was a monk of some sort. "He looks to be some kind of robot," his captor said as he looked at him, perplexed.
"OF COURSE I AM SOME KIND OF ROBOT!" yelled the armor clad warrior as he stood up. "I'M A REPLOID! WITH A HIGHLY ADVANCED CYBERNETIC BRAIN!"
"Reploid…reploid…" The man stood scratching his chin thinking. In his hand was strange device that looked something like a screwdriver. "Where have a heard that before?" he scratched his chin. Then, he shouted as he finally remembered, "EUREKA!" An Advanced for of robotic intelligence much like K-9 Robotic hounds we use on Galifre!"
"Did you just compare me…to a dog?" the Reploid asked.
"Yes, now I remember. In one of Earth's possible futures, highly advanced robots were developed but, at a cost…" His captor began to ramble on and on.
"He compared me to a dog…."
"At that point Cain Labs began the development of military model robots…"
"He compared me TO A DOG!"
"Not long after that there was virus outbreak to coincide with the descent of space Colony Eurasia."
"YOU COMPARED ME TO A DOG! THAT'S IT!" The armor clad warrior lunged for his captor. He stopped his rambling and ran to the other side of a control panel.
"Now, now, no need to lose you temper!"
"YOU COMPARED ME TO A DOG!" Once again the warrior lunged at him.
The captor quickly made his way to the other side of panel. "Let's make introductions. I'm The Druid."
"I COULD CARE LESS IF YOU WERE POPE JOHN PAUL THE SECOND!" again the warrior leapt for him.
The Druid once again made his way around the panel. "Good ol' John Paul. Good man he was."
"SHUT UP and DIE!"
"Before that, mind answering a single tiny little question?" The warrior leaped toward the Druid who managed to once again avoid him. "I'll take that as a no…"
"OH, I'll answer!" He chased the Druid around in circles which was quiet humorous to see. "YOU JUST WON'T LIVE THAT LONG!"
"What's you name?" He leapt over some railing, narrowly dodging getting tackled.
The warrior leaped over the railing. "Lement!" For the next five minutes, the Reploid named Lement chased The Druid through the Tardis. During the chase they somehow pulled off the six doors gag. Druid went through the first door on the right followed by Lement. The Druid popped right out the last door on the right but, Lement came out the first door on the left leaving them on opposite ends of the hall. Lement growled when he saw this and ran down the hall. Druid seeing him coming went back in the door, closing it behind him. Lement followed, opening and slamming the door. They both came out of the center left door and somehow Druid had ended up chasing Lement. Lement ran through the center right door followed closely by The Druid. The top left door burst open and Lement was pushing Druid in a wheel barrel into the top right door. They both came out the bottom right and left doors respectively smashing into each other.
Druid, seeing the growling face of Lement, ran once again into the top right door. Lement followed. What happened next was just plain strange. Lement came out of the bottom left door in a marching band outfit leading a core of five hundred band marchers including flag twirlers. The entire right wall came open and left and his marching band went right in. The band was soon followed by a parade float with The Druid dressed in a flowing red dress made of roses and he was blowing kisses at nonexistent crowd. Thanking them for crowning him Miss Rose Parade. As the float went the wall returned and they both came out of center right door and panted. "Oh, my hearts!"
"OK, WHAT JUST HAPPENED!?" Lement panted heavily.
"Sight gag…" The Druid smiled. "Truce?" The Druid offered his hand. Lement growled. "Not till I rip out your vocal chords!"
Thus the chase began anew and two of them ended up chasing each other around the control panel of Tardis again. Lement grabbed The Druid who pulled out his Sonic Screwdriver and pressed a button. Lement grabbed onto the device before falling limp onto the floor. He had a death grip on the device. The Druid tried to remove the device from Lement's hand. "EVEN UNCONSIOUS HE TORMENTS ME!"
The Druid struggled to free the device before giving up. "Fine, keep it. I'll just get a new one." The Druid worked the controls of his Tardis.
"You're a pest, you know that?" The doors of the Tardis opened. The Riggors of the space time continuum were awash outside.
The Druid picked up Lement and put him back inside his capsule. "Let somebody else deal with you!" The containment field around the capsule came online. The druid walked over to the controls of the Tardis and pressed a button. Suddenly the rigors of the time stream ripped the capsule out of its resting place and pulled it out. Had The Druid not been holding on for dear life the stream of time would have yanked him out as well.
Suddenly, The Druid shivered. "Why do I feel like I've let a beast loose on some unsuspecting fools…?" He then shrugged, "Oh, well. Not my problem anymore."
Earth, Chain of Islands known as Spira Republic, near present day.
"I told you not make that stop in Kilka but no, you wanted to flirt!" a young man with short blonde hair yelled at his companion. On the young man's back was tattoo of in the shape of a vulture. "Now look what happened!"
Standing beside the young man was older gentlemen with the tattoo of a boar on his back. He looked much older. He was possibly in his late thirties while his young companion looked to be in his early to late teens. "What can I say?"
"NOTHING! THAT'S WHAT YOU CAN SAY! THE TRAIN IS SCRAP AND MOST OF THE CARGO IS DESTROYED!"
"Hey, the Gears are intact…."
"OH, THE GEARS! OH, THE GEARS ARE INTACT! WELL THAT'S LOVELY! HOW DO YOU PROPOSE WE DELIVER THEM TO THE BOSS!?"
"Uh…"
"MY POINT EXACTLY" He grumbled as he kicked the very thing that had caused all the destruction. It was a capsule. "IF THIS THING HADNT CRASHED INTO US, WE WOULDN'T BE HAVING THIS PROBLEM!"
"I thought the boss was planning on using the Gears to, you know, conquer the world or something…"
His young partner glared at him. "If you had said that in public I would have strangled you!"
Suddenly the capsule erupted with steam and came open. Lement pulled himself out. "WHEN I GET MY HANDS ON HIM, I'LL…!"
"EH, MISTER ROBOTO!"the young man with blonde hair yelled.
Lement turned to face the two new people. "Did you just call me 'Mr. Roboto'?" Lement glared as he climbed out. "Oh, it's on…"
"You're gonna pay for smashing our train, you hear me!" the young man yelled.
"Lenny, you think it's a good idea to tick him off?"
"He's just a robot, Fred, and robots can be taken apart!"
"Take me apart." Lement's right arm began to glow as it shifted into a buster. "TAKE ME APART!" He aimed at them and fired his buster sending a sphere of plasma energy rocketing toward them. The two dodged the blast and began to change. "This is new…"
The two men's skin turned into pale grey as armor formed on each of them. Lenny took to the sky, his arms having become wings and his fingers having become talons with razor sharp ends. Fred on the other hand became more muscular as his entire body became covered in thick armor. A pair of tusks appeared on his face. "TIME TO PICK YOU APART!" Lenny yelled, now in his Orphenoch form that was similar to a vulture.
"Hope, you don't mind if we gore you!" Lenny, the Vulture Orphenoch, squawked.
"A bird brain and a bulging pig. I wonder what you two would taste like Rotisserie style!" Lement fired a blast at Lenny who easily dodged and swooped down. His sharp talons dug into his buster, damaging it. Lement, with his free hand, grabbed the saber mounted on his right hip and ignited the crimson blade. Swinging it, he forced Lenny off. As Lenny let go, Fred, the Boar Orphenoch, charged Lement into the side of the cargo car, smashing Lement's buster farther. Lement screamed as a substance that looked like blood exploded from his mouth. Swinging his saber, he sliced Fred's arm off who then backed off screaming bloody murder as he held the stump of his shoulder. "AN ARM FOR AN ARM!"
Lement looked at his now limp right arm and watched out of the corner of his eye as Fred's severed arm burst into blue flames before it disintegrated. "My arm…" Fred groaned as he stepped out of the train car. Lement smirked "Look on the bright side, at least my sabers cauterize the wounds while they make them.!"
Lenny saw his partner holding the stub of his shoulder. "You took his fraggin arm off!"
"Yeah, bird brain!" Lement said as he leapt off the train car. His right arm was limply hanging at his side. "And you and your buddy took mine offline!"
"You'll pay for that. " Lenny swooped down and picked Lement up in his talons and took him high into the air.
"Let me down, bird brain!"
"With pleasure!" Lenny released Lement who plummeted toward the ground.
"This is gonna hurt…" Lement smashed into the ground and groaned as he tried to get up. As he tried to get up his entire body ached. Suddenly, a metal case slid down into the crater shaped hole.
Lenny spotted this from above. "THE GEARS!" Lenny swooped downward in suicide dive.
Lement, not hearing him, opened the case, hoping for something that could help him. To his surprise he found three cell phones, each with a Greek letter above them. The Greek letters were Sigma, Epsilon, and finally Gamma. "Cell phones?" Lement said in bewilderment. The cell phones in question were embedded inside black foam lining within the case. On the underside of the cover were three matching metal belts with slots that appeared to fit the phones.
"Don't you touch them!" Lenny squalled as he came down at blinding speed.
Fred made his way to the edge of the crater to see what his partner had been screaming about. To his horror, Lement had picked up the Cell phone marked Sigma. Suddenly, a computer voice spoke from the phone. "Scanning…complete, please enter three digit activation code. " Lement blinked and saw three sets of numbers printed below each of the cell phones with the exception of the Sigma phone which he had picked up. Written where it had been were three numbers. He grabbed one of the belts and wrapped it around his wasit.
Lenny was only three feet away from Lement, ready to rip Lement's head off. Lement Dialed in three numbers and those numbers were 666 and then he pressed OK. "Standby…" The cell phone stated. Suddenly time around Lement seemed to freeze. A lone figure walked up the hole and looked at Lement who found himself not frozen.
The figure was clad in white armor defined by light red lines separating the segments. His helmet covered his entire head and he wore a white visor which oddly enough didn't clash with the red helmet. Imprinted on the helmet was stylized Gamma symbol. Draped over his shoulders was a red cape that was white on the inside. "I am Kamen Rider Quincy…" Mounted on his left hip was a folded up bow. The belt was metal and held a cell phone in the buckle. Around his neck he wore a golden scarf that blew in the nonexistent wind. "I came from the not so distant future…" On his back he wore an oval shield that was almost completely white. Something about the rider seemed familiar to Lement. "When time resumes I will be gone as the Armor of Gamma only allows me short trips into the past or future and allows me to freeze time. When that happens yell out 'HENSHIN' and place the phone into the belt."
"Okay…"
"Good…" With that, the Rider of Gamma disappeared and time resumed. Lement only had seconds before Lenny came crashing down into him. "Only one shot at this…" Lement closed his eyes, taking a breath, and then they quickly shot open. "HENSHIN!" he then slammed the phone into the slot of the belt he was wearing.
"Activate!" the phone responded.
A blinding flash filled the area. Once again time seemed to be frozen but, not by someone. This time it was a something. Lement's helmet shattered as did his body armor. He could feel his right arm again as his entire body was free from his armor. Suddenly, new pieces of armor began to form on his body. First a pair of boots formed followed by a pair of metallic looking gloves and armor plates running up his arms to his elbows. Forming around the boots were more armor plates that formed and were going to his knees. A black body suit formed around Lement that soon formed form fitting armor plates. The body suit went up to his neck and suddenly an insect like black helmet formed around his head. The helmet resembled a black grasshopper. At the back of his helmet his blood red hair stood out in a ponytail. A burnt orange scarf floated down. The ends of the scarf appeared to have been tattered and torn. Grabbing it, he wrapped it around his neck as though it felt right. A small fan like generator formed on his back. Suddenly, red lines formed around the lenses of his helmet that soon ran down the side of helmet under the scarf and soon spread out, outlining the black body armor.
Lenny stopped in his tracks as the flash had blinded him. As he and Fred soon regained there sight standing before them was no longer Lement but, a whole new kettle of fish. The armor covered his entire body and was very much like a black grasshopper. There were even spikes on new warrior's gauntlets. His helmet had a small gem in the center with two antennae like protrusion. His arms were crossed and at his feet was the case containing now only the Epsilon and Gamma Gears. Around the warrior's waist was the Sigma Gear displaying the symbol for Sigma. "Now…would either of you like to face…" He took a battle pose, one arm extending straight out to his side and upward while the other stayed at his side. "ME!" A small explosion erupted behind him.
"So that's the Sigma Gear!" Lenny began to laugh. "I'm not impressed!"
"While I am…" Lement looked the armor over. "Pity my sabers are gone…" Lement smirked behind his helmet, balling his fists. Suddenly a HUD display appeared showing him diagram of the armor. The diagram rotated and showed that there were twin panels on his back that stored his sabers. "Guess they're not gone…"
"Lenny, you think it's a good idea to fight him? He did take off my arm…" Fred cringed at the thought, looking at the stump of his shoulder.
"Ha!" Lenny laughed landing on the ground. "He looks like fraggin insect!"
Lement, ignoring the two, continued to look at the HUD display. "OK, that's where my sabers are. Wonder what other weapons this puppy's got?" Again the HUD showed his back this time pointing out the small almost unnoticeable generator and began to detail how it worked like a power charger and generated an energy field around the feet and fists. Soon after that, the HUD displayed a blaster of sorts called the VW-Blaster. It displayed the phone attaching to the end of blaster, giving it a double barrel mode for rapid fire. It also displayed that if he attached one of his sabers, the range and energy output could be increased. It then displayed a saxophone with the word offline then it displayed a short sword with holes in the blade and it also displayed offline.
"COME ON, FRED! LET'S RIP AND SHRED!" Lenny flew toward Lement, flying at full speed. Seeing this, Lement leapt into the air and the slots in his back opened up as he performed a spin in midair while drawing his sabers.
Lenny stopped in midflight and glared at Lement. "You've got two choices, Bird Brain…One, you surrender and I let you both leave here with you live and two, and my personal choice, keep fighting me and end up a pile of so much hamburger!"
"HERE'S MY ANSWERS" Lenny screeched as he flew toward Lement at full speed.
Lement sighed, igniting his blades. The plasma charged energy sabers hummed ready to strike. "I warned you…" Lement crossed the sabers. Suddenly two orange afterimages of Lement appeared. "Nice, I can still use my heat haze…" At the last second, Lement preformed a kata of sorts making an 'X' shaped slash before performing a pair of powerful upward slices. The twin after images preformed the same motions.
Just as the second after the second image finished Lenny blew by. "HAHAHA! YOU MISSED!"
"No, I didn't…."
As if on cue Lenny's vision became split five ways to Sunday. He screamed in agony as he burst into blue flames and gray ash. Fred watched in horror as his partner died. "How…How…"
"Just a simple application of using this little generator on my back to speed up my reflexes, and the use of my sub-weapon called the heat haze. The heat haze generates a thermal duplicate that mirrors my motions two a T."
"Lenny…" Fred began to growl and got in a battle stance in his boar form his grey almost metallic armor glinting in the sun light. "You'll pay for that!" Fred charged forward, his tusks out ready to gore Lement.
"To die an honorable death…" Lement stored his sabers before he opened the phone on his belt and pressed the OK button.
"EXCEL CHARGE," it responded and the generator on his back began to charge up. Small orbs of yellow ran along the crimson lines of his suit.
"SIGMA CRASH!" Lament shouted. Just as Fred came within range, Lement smashed his fist into Fred's snout, sending the energy stored in his fist through the Boar Orphenoch's body.
Fred fell to the ground his entire body consumed in blue flames before crumbling to dust. Lement sighed and shook his head. "I warned them…" Lement picked up the chase containing the two other gears. "Guess I'll need a disguise and codename…I've got it! If anybody asks while I'm in this form, they can call me AKUMA!"
Just as he made that announcement, a small robotic looking dragonfly hovered near by recording him.

Seven figures were watching from their hidden lair. They were all sitting in thrones with the highest one for the leader. "Ironic, my lord, that something you had stolen was stolen from you…" spoke a male deep voice.
"We'll retrieve the devices, my Lieutenant. It will simply take some time…" spoke another voice.
"As you wish, my lord…"
