Quirks! Abilities that have become part of the norm in everyday life on Earth. It is unknown how it came to be, though some speculate the reason due to the world's greatest hero, All Might. Supposedly since he came, these 'Quirks' have manifested within the majority of every human (and some animals) in the whole world.
Though, as the increase of humans with Quirks keep going, so do the activities of people using their powers to their own needs. And always becomes villains. No matter where you look, heroes and villains fight for power.
But with in this new day of age, one Quirkless boy will become a legend. One where he will fight for humanity and the lives of the people. And the title they will shout for decades will be known, as Kamen Rider!
In GEMN Corp, Dan Kuroto was growling in complete anger over the loss of their captive. He hissed out, lashing out on his office as he slammed his fists in the wall and tossed the small toys that were on his desk. Since they lost Nathan who didn't give up the data, he now can easily inform others about his plans, including All-Might! He can't let that happen. He truly needs to get rid of him… but how?
"Graphite!" Kuroto called out, summoning the dragon Bugster, "Any luck on finding him and erasing that nuisance?!"
"If you haven't noticed, we dealt with a problem since Lazer took back the Level 3 Gashat." Graphite crossed his arms. "Besides… something came up."
"What could be important!?"
"Have you even checked your email?" He deadpanned.
"What are you even talking about?" He snapped, gripping his computer and looking at the email that the Bugster mentioned. He opened the latest one and saw it was from CR, and their patient. He reads before his eyes widened. "Is this true?"
"Far as I can see."
"Hehe…. Hehehe… HAHAHAHAHAHA!" Kuroto cackled out loudly, looking over the data as he grinned and his heart soared, "Yes… This is exactly what I need…" He said, messing around with his desk before plugging in a blank Gashat as he typed away from the data that was given to him in the email.
"They barely got any luck since the strain doesn't last upon examination."
"Which gives me more than enough data… This… This can give me a new Gashat…. One that I will use to erase that child…" Kuroto grinned.
"How are you even gonna complete it?" Graphite asked.
"Simple… I'll just place the Gashat into his Driver. That amount of Bugster inside it will kill him and give me the necessary data and it'll be complete."
"Hehe, giving that much of a hassle over Snipe? As long as it doesn't affect Cody… My heart can still dance." Parad grinned from afar.
Meanwhile in the CR Hospital, Naomi was making her way to see Nathan again to see his progress of his health, carrying a tray of food.
"Onii-sama, I brought food," She entered the room before she noticed his hero suit, Gamer Driver and Gashats was gone and he was nowhere in sight. She also noticed one of the panels in the ceiling opened. Her grip on the tray loosened as it fell onto the ground.
Footsteps were heard as Kaizer rushed to the room "What hap-" He froze when he saw the ceiling was open and Nathan was gone. "Goddamn it! That idiot got out?!" He growled, "That's it, I'll bring him back by force…" The doctor growled, grabbing his own driver and Gashat as he went out after the sniper.
(Insert Op - EXCITE - Kamen Rider Ex-Aid Op)
The song quickly begins like that of a chiptune like sound as it shows a loading screen before quickly saying 'Complete'
(I gotta believe...)
After leaving the loading screen, the screen quickly pans towards the UA High as it passes the several students before reaching Ex-Aid as he turns and punches it. Upon shattering showed the title card along with the Gashats of Ex-Aid before Might Action X floats to the center and lights up.
[I don't wanna know beta na shinjitsu nara]
The screen pans above the high sky before quickly lowering down and zooming in to show off Cody, as he sees the ruins of the old town he used to live in before a quick flash showed the Bugsters destroying it before returning to the present.
[I don't wanna know shiranai kata ga ii noni ]
The screen shift towards the Class 1 of UA High, as it shows off the students. Each one chatting away as Cody is chatting away with Izuku, Ochako, Tenya, and Poppy on his mobile screeen chat back. With the occasional glare from Katsuki.
[Why, Why, Why, Why? Kitsukeba I Came Too Far]
It then shifts towards a flashback where Cody is being lectured by people with Quirks, his family of classmates, before shifting to where he was saved by All Might, then shifts again as All Might accepts him into the academy as the rest of the teachers are behind them. Even Aurora who stands there unsure that he is ready to be a hero looks at him with distrust.
[Tomaranai kanjiru sono yokan wa, The New Beginning]
Inside an ally, several villains start pouring out from the darkness, led by Genm as they begin to march their way towards UA. Faint images of injured students and people are shown briefly before an image of All Might is on the ground, dead with his students.
[Michi no ryoiki, ima wo kiri hiraku'nda, I gotta believe! (Turn it on...)]
As the mass of villains rush towards the entrance, Cody and Izuku hesitates while the other students march ahead before the shadow of All Might made them turn around. He pats their shoulders as Izuku jumps ahead, while Cody holds up Mighty Action X and presses it, a faint pink glow covering the screen.
[Sotto Excite Excite takanaru, Excite Excite kokoro ga]
A faint image of Ex-Aid LV 1 appears briefly before LV 2 jumps out from behind it. The Action Rider punching, kicking and beating any enemy in it's way as Izuku and the rest of their team helps them out, with their powers.
[Michibi ano basho e, Kakenuku deku dake]
A few more enemies appear before being stuck down by All Might and the other teachers. Several Bugsters being to gather around until more and more heroes appear, helping out what remains of the enemies.
[(Hey!) I'm on a mission right now, (Hey!) I'm on a mission right now]
Faint images of new Ex-Aid forms can be seen before it zooms out to reveal the enemy behind it all, chuckling madly as he turns to see a large vial of Bugster viruses floating in a tank. But it then shifts towards the Aid Den as several unknown Gashats glow, resonating to stop the diseases.
[Excite Excite kotae wa, Excite Excite kotae wa]
With more and more enemies falling towards the ground,everyone backs up, back to back to make sure no more injuries can be given. As that happens Cody takes out the Mighty Action X Gashat before placing it into the Kimiwaza Slot and presses it, as he rider kicks at the screen.
[(One) Kono te mo naka, (Two) Susumu beki life, (Three) Ikiteku dake]
Back at the school, everyone was cheering, laughing and relaxing as they completed the mission. All Might nodding to them all as Poppy pats Cody's shoulder. The young rider smiling as he lifts up the Gashat one last time before looking out at the sky where the title card shows off one last time.
Nathan used his left visor of his mask, checking of anything to see from the tower he was perched on. It has been a few hours since he escaped the CR room. They seriously had to lock the vents to prevent patients from leaving. Not to mention, they should have took his suit and gear away. Taking a deep breath, he checked his laptop to check any information he has along with information he managed to take during his escape and information the game company gathered of the unique strain inside him. Along with information of whatever the other individual was researching.
"They barely found anything about my condition…" he growled until he clutched his chest, his old wounds burning on his chest and arm. "Damn it…" When the pain subsides, he typed his laptop to look to the source of the unknown data he he could pinpoint the source, it would lead him to whoever took his USB since it had a copy of his data. While he still has his data in his laptop, the backup can't be looked into no matter what. Even if it is someone trying to stop it as well.
Using his Quirk, he began to type away to check the source, his eyes looking at each digit and coding to check. He remembered his USB always leaves a timestamp whenever it is used, thus giving him a chance to locate it along with a way to stop the Gemn Corp from researching the special strain in his body. He was a good hacker since a sniper does infiltration in mission, one must have backup skills for a mission.
"Here we go… 6:20 pm at the Tokyo Hospital… wait, this was five weeks ago, an hour after I woke up from the kidnapping…" He realized. "I have to look into this… whoever has my backup data on that USB can't unlock my research… more importantly that game company from looking into that virus in me."
He grunted as the burning pain again, grabbing his chest but he wanted to grasp his arm as well to stop the pain in him. It was painful but he had to pull through. The old pain of his now closed wound acted up again. He tried to power through it as it only stayed for awhile before it vanished, but left him panting heavily.
"D-Damn it…." He grunts out. "Gotta keep moving before they find out I escaped…"He said before reaching into his bag and pulled out some painkillers, downing two more pills down.
Even since he escaped, that pain started to act up more and more, increasing in pain and how long it'll come back. It's now been every 20 minutes compared to before when it was only an hour. But he can't just let this bother him, he needs his USB back now in order to add the recent data he acquired from before.
He used the grappling gauntlet to swung to the rooftop and rushed over each rooftop to find the USB. While it had a copy of his data he had in the laptop, he rather make sure it stays in his own hands than others. Approaching the next tower, he used the visor on his right eye to zoom at the building. If he could check through security camera around the timeframe, it would provide him the person who took his USB.
"You really should be in bed, kid…"
The sniper turned his head, seeing Neo-Lazer there in his LV 3 form, and weapon in hand as it's aimed at him. "I told you this several times, yet like your old man, you're stubborn to the bone until you get what you want, or you drop dead."
"I am trying to find out who took my flashdrive."
"And that can wait once you're healed." Neo-Lazer argued.
Nathan slowly reached for his holster, unclipping the cover and held onto the grip of his pistol.
"Don't… I rather not have us fight. Just come along quietly back to CR and let you finish recovering."
"And I rather you let me finish my mission." Nathan said.
"And I rather you listen to me than be this stubborn brat." Neo-Lazer sighed.
With quick and precise precision, he fired with his Quirk active, knocking the bow off from Neo-Lazer's hand as it fell onto the ground below the tower.
"Oh right… your Quirk…" Neo-Lazer forgot.
"You really had to pay attention," Nathan shook his head before turning around and used his grappling gauntlet. "Oh and might wanna grab it before someone picks it up and mistakes it for a toy." He launched himself away as Nathan moved to the next rooftop.
"Ugh…." The doctor sighed, reaching for his coms, "Naomi? You're up next…"
"Roger, already after him."
Nathan peeked from the vents as he looks at the security room back inside the hospital. He watched as the guard yawned, no doubt tired. Reaching for a canister that was strapped across his chest, he pulled the tab before gently tossing it below, the smoke unleashing a sleeping gas. The guard yawned again before he fell asleep, snoring soundly.
Thanks to the cloth over the lower half of his face, he hopped down and checked the footage. "Alright… 5 weeks ago… 6:20 pm… let's see which room had a computer through these cameras…" he murmured, pressing a few keys to rewind the footage of each room there was in the hospital. "No… no… not it…"
He pressed more and more, "No… not that room… n-" he paused the video, found what he was looking. "That's it. Now… who went into that room. They must have an access code that displays name… if I were to hack it… I could find out who it is."
"Onii-sama…."
The sniper groaned out once more, turning his head to see Naomi, in her LV 3 suit, "As what Doctor Kaizer has told you, you need to head back to CR! You can't continue with that injury and problem." She reminded. "I rather not get Otou-san in this matter…"
"Naomi, this is a very important task. I have to retrieve the USB and also prevent GEMN Corp from researching that strain in me." He said. "I have to continue the mission."
"Onii-sama.. I know this is important to you, but your health and well-being is more important than some lousy USB!" She shouted out, "If you won't listen to reason, then I'll have to bring you back. Conscious or not.." She stated before getting into a fighting pose.
"Naomi…" He sighed. "I can't. This mission is important. I rather not fight."
"Same here… But for your well being, I can't let this continue." She said, making a few scratches on the DJ board on her arm as she then walked towards him, ready to attack and take him back to CR.
As she approached him, she thrusted her palms forward, as the sniper dodged. Only one touch was what she needed to cause Doremifa Beats power. And since she's added extra slides, steps and scratches, Nathan couldn't follow the beat quickly enough in time as he dodged another swipe. He didn't want to fight her, but he needed to go on the defense.
She played the tune, only this time Nathan followed it as he defends himself. Lady Brave tried to deliver an attack but Nathan followed the beat, using his stun baton to hit her arm and leg, defending himself. "Naomi, you have to let me finish my mission." He insisted.
"No…. I'm not letting you do this to yourself again." She shook her head, "While I do trust you….. I can't let you do any more self harm." She said, placing her hand on the earpiece as ripples of tunes and sounds shot out of the speakers on her shoulder, blasting him with music.
He winced but he had to stand his ground as the ripples of music continued, keeping up with her as he blocks her attack and swung the stun baton to her leg then the speakers, causing the music to stop from the electric current. Lady Brave tried to reactivate it but Nathan wasn't going to let it happen as he quickly gripped her driver and close it before ripping the Gashats out, reverting her to normal.
Nathan pants heavily as he looks at her, "S-Sorry… can't… stop until... ugh…" In moments everything grew black for him as he dropped to the ground, unconscious.
"Onii-sama!" She cried out, shaking him before Kaizer rushed in, also back to normal as he checked his vitals before the two saw the blood on his chest.
"Idiot… he reopened his wound…" Kaizer growled, calling for other doctors to help him out.
Nathan groaned, slowly regaining his visions as he rubs his head from the minor headache. But as he does, he finally notices something on his arm, he looks down to notice his right wrist was now cuffed to the CR bed.
"Sorry, but we can't have you running around like this, Nathan." Kaizer said, arms crossed and very angry at the sniper. "I told you, you can't move, and cause of that idiocy, you reopened your wound. Now, you'll have to stay put until we say you can go."
He merely stayed silent, staring at the cuff on his wrist. His mind calculating carefully before a snort was heard. "If you say so." He merely shrugged, his mind already having plans on what to do next.
"Look… I know already how important this mission of yours is… But I can't let you do this. You'll kill yourself. So…" Kaizer, grabbed a chair and sat down, "I won't budge until you're fully healed."
"Heh, good luck.."
"Won't need it. This isn't the first time I've done this before." Kaizer informed, "I had on patient who had a teleportation Quirk. He kept leaving and we had to bring him back. So, I made sure to keep watch until he was healthy and able to leave. I've endured worse and you won't be my last all nighter."
Nathan rolled his eyes but kept looking at his surroundings carefully, looking at the objects that were useful for his Longshot Quirk.
"Oh, and I made sure to take anything that you can use for your Quirk." He informed. Only thing in here is fabric and nonconductive materials."
Nathan raised an eyebrow for a moment before he chose to close his eyes and leaned against the medical bed. As he does, a small and unnoticeable smirk graced his lips slightly. The bed had a metal piece by the edge.
"Now… I'm curious… is this resolve of yours truly that about your lost girlfriend?" Kaizer asked.
He merely stayed silent, opening one eye before closing. "No."
"Then what is it?"
Nathan couldn't help but be suspicious to this. Why even ask him these questions. "Firstly, it is a personal question. Now I have something to ask."
"Hm?"
"Who here in this hospital logged into a computer at 6:20pm, an hour after my awakening."
"Gonna have to be more specific than that. Many log in during that time."
"My USB leaves a timestamp whenever it is used." He narrowed his eyes.
"Well… then if that's the case, the only ones who do is the CR manager, and the Ministry of Health's executives."
"Who said I even gave it to them?" Kaizer flinched, a bead of sweat appearing. "I will find out who took it, Kaizer."
"In that condition? You'd be luckily if you could do anything…. One more reopen and it will cause severe nerve damage. To where not even Recovery Girl could heal."
"A sniper makes their mark, no matter what. Be it their own condition, the weather, or in enemy lines. We make sure we get things done."
"You may see yourself as this soldier… But you are still a kid. Don't push past your limits. Otherwise you'll lose more than just your nerves…"
He huffed, rolling his eyes in annoyance. "Just hope that when I find the USB, there better be a good reason to why whoever stole it."
Kaizer mentally swallowed from his words. Nathan wasn't the clueless type, he is one to get things done like any one who fights or in games. They make sure they find what they need and deal with the matter. This brought Kaizer a shudder to what will happen if Nathan ever found out he was the one. A sniper do make their marks… and he is concerned that he would be on that mark of the target.
The doors soon then opened up to reveal Naomi, along with Cody, Mina, Poppy, Izuku, and even Ochako and Ida as the young group came in, most likely the others who just got off of school for today.
"Why are you guys here?" He asked as he kept his eyes closed.
"How did you know it was us?"
"Your footsteps, counting about six and not to mention the faint smell of someone who burned something."
"Geez… it's almost like you were trained by bloodhounds…" Ochako joked, badly.
He opened one eye, "If my Quirk blinds my eyes, I focus on sound and smell."
"Like a bat." Izuku realized. "That… is actually a useful backup plan to have…"
"Everyone with a Quirk must have a backup plan if their Quirk renders them incapable of further combat. Luckily, I learned and made myself realize that I need additional plans to help me win in case my eyes go temporarily blind from the Quirk." He explained. "I think you guys should do the same."
"Really?"
"Yes, for example: Ochako, you tend to vomit when you use too much of your Quirk right?" He asked, earning a nod. "Try to focus bit by bit of the gravitational energy so you won't put too much force to your Quirk. And I might suggest having something to prevent the vomiting."
"Huh… that actually could work." The gravity girl noted with awe.
"Ohh! Ohh! What about me?" Mina asked cheerfully, waving her hand in the air like she does at school.
"You control acid at a certain degree, am I right?" He recalled, making the girl nod.
"Yup! I can also control how acidic it can be!" She added. "From changing it to barely damage tissue, to dissolving anything!"
"While you are able to control the corrosiveness and such of acid, might I suggest trying to focus on a mix." She tilted her head in confusion. "Imagine water and oil. While they don't mix, they are separate in one place. So, try and use a mix between corrosive and non-corrosive to not only fool your opponent but also make them think it isn't or is corrosive."
"Ohh~! That's awesome!" She beamed out brightly.
"So um…" Cody rubbed his head. "How are you feeling?"
"Sometimes the same, other times my old wounds feel like someone poured hot lava into them from the inside out."
"You've been moving too much?" Poppy asked.
"More like leaving the CR," Kaizer frowned.
Poppy's eyes widen before she glared at the sniper, "Nathan… Stop disobeying him!"
"I am on a mission here."
"No, you're just being stubborn since you always hated being at the doctors!" Poppy frowned.
"Try finding that out when you have a mixed virus in you," He frowned. "You guys aren't the ones having some special strain in your bodies."
"Which is why you should rest and let CR figure this out." Poppy added.
"And you guys couldn't do jack about it. I checked and learned they barely made any progress."
"Hey! Don't blame them!" Cody snapped. "They're trying their best!"
"Like they tried on day one when several people died when the first wave was unleashed?"
A few of them gasped, while Cody, Kaizer and Naomi flinched. Poppy could only frown as she marched over before slapping him hard across his cheek, stunning the sniper at that response.
"Don't ever blame them for that…. You know as well as I do that they couldn't do anything when they weren't told about it until the last minute. Especially with how some became over that." Poppy said with a disappointed voice.
"Sure they were…" He rolled his eyes. "A doctor I knew was the first to discover it and dragged him away in need of help. And you know what happened when he tried to use the Gamer Driver? He died on the spot."
"I know of this already.. .You don't have to remind us of how the Ministry's president died…." Kaizer frowned, "But the old man was only trying to take this burden upon himself.. Don't spit in his face over what he tried to do and save us before the problem started."
"I am not spitting over his grave, what I am saying is that when CR tried to look into it, it is the reason that unleashed the ground zero of the Bugsters. While I was there when it happened, even I look through every name today to check on who Patient Zero is."
"You weren't the only one there when it started…" Cody said, his fist clenched tightly with anger. "I saw what they can do, so don't think you're so special because of that…"
"I am not." He admitted. "This task I am doing, is important since I am already having a lead on who is Patient Zero. It is only a matter of time."
"Patient… Zero…" Mina repeated, "so… what would happen should you find the one who made the Bugsters?"
"Extract the virus and complete the Anti-Bugster program."
"And the patient who held it? I don't think removing the virus would be enough… It could harm him."
"Once the program is made, I will simply apply it to him to stop the virus, thus healing Patient Zero."
"That is if it doesn't kill him…" Kaizer noted, "If this virus has been in Patient Zero for this long, removing it would kill him… you know that, don't you?"
"There are ways," Nathan crossed his arms. "While you may think that, there are other possibilities. Take for example some diseases in the past. They found the origin and extracted it without killing the origin."
"You really are serious to stopping it…"
"Yeah I am. And it is the reason why that dark Rider and Graphite want me dead."
"But you can't do this alone, Onii-sama…" Naomi frowned, "You saw what happened already? That Rider won't stop until you die…"
"And I'll be ready when that happens. If he tries, he will go down with me."
"You… can't be serious…" Izuku said, "You can't just sacrifice yourself like that."
"If it means to save others," Nathan confessed. "Save one life or save thousands from a virus. What would you choose?" They all remained quiet. "You now realize it huh? While it may seem wrong, if it means to save everyone else then that is one choice to make. One life to save others."
Naomi could only frown, before she turned away and rushed out, only for Mina and the others to notice before the fellow student followed after her.
"Naomi…"Poppy frowned softly.
Kaizer could only glare at Nathan, "While admirable it is… you're still just as blind at that old man of yours… You may think it's self just, but you're also hurting those who care for you and rather not see that happen…"
He turned away, keeping himself silent. While it may be true, he knows that he was trying to do the right thing…
It's been a few days since that moment, and luckily enough Nathan hasn't escaped at all, yet of course. Within the school grounds, the young students were making their ways towards home, as the few friends were walking with Naomi towards the hospital. Though since then, she also has been very quiet since Nathan revealed his plan. And it hurt her.
"Naomi…? Are you okay?" Cody asked, only to see the young girl nod softly. "Are you sure…? I mean… we are all worried about you."
"I'm… I'm scared…." she said softly, "Onii-sama… is basically killing himself, all for this stupid mission…."
"I know it seems stupid but…" Cody swallowed heavily to what he about to say and regret. "What if… he is right….?"
*SLAP!*
A loud slap echoed around the school, so loud those who heard it winced and prayed to whoever received that slap. Cody held his cheek, knowing he deserved that, as Naomi only glared at the teen.
"Don't… you dare say that…." She hissed.
"B-But isn't he trying to stop the virus?" He yelped upon the next slap.
"But for what!? To get himself killed just to make the cure!?" She snapped. "Onii-sama is hurting himself just to help! Why don't you realize that I don't want that to happen!?"
"I do! But if he can figure out a way to stop the Bugsters, then everyone can be saved! People… People won't have to die by them…." Cody said softly, holding his chest.
Naomi's eyes teared up before she rushed away from them. Mina tried to stop her but her words were ignored as Naomi was gone from their sights. "I feel bad for Naomi…" Mina said. "Her adoptive brother is hurting himself but at the same time, trying to help everyone…"
"I know…" Cody sighed. "Even I am worried… I…. just was hoping to show her that he does mean well..."
"We know, Cody… we know…" Poppy said softly, placing her hand on him to reassure.
"Any ideas on what should we do…?" Izuku asked.
"All we can do it help them both out… and hopefully find some solution that both of them can agree on." Ida noted.
Cody pondered for a moment of a plan before his eyes lit up, "Oh! I think I have an idea! What if we tried to get Naomi and Nathan and help them talk it out? That way no more problems would happen and make Nathan see that his own adoptive sister is worried about him."
"That sounds like the best idea." Mina smiled, pecking her boyfriend's cheek, "Though you'll still have to apologize for making her cry.
"R-Right, forgot about that," he rubbed the back of his head. "I'll ask dad if he can allow Nathan to come with us. Besides, how bad could it be to ask him?"
"Absolutely not."
"Come on dad… Please? I know he's healed enough to at least move around." Cody pleaded.
"Nathan was smart enough to find a way to take off the cuffs, and he tried to go through the vents, again." He pointed at the ceiling while Nathan was back on the bed with both arms in cuffs, staring at Kaizer. "You know how difficult it was for me to get him back here?"
"Yes, I do…" Cody sighed, "but.. I want to do this to at least give him and Naomi some closure…. They're both unstable and I want to correct that… They shouldn't hide anything from one another."
His father stared at him before he sighed heavily, "Fine… just… make sure he doesn't run off…" He accepted much to his dismay. "If he does, you will be in big trouble, young man."
The young rider gulped softly, "Y-Yes sir…." He nods, understanding.
Kaizer looks at Nathan, "Looks like you are getting out for now."
"Finally," Nathan sighed with relief. "I was getting bored here."
Kazier's eyebrow twitched as he saw Nathan had unlocked one cuff already. "How did you…"
Nathan raised the metal point that poked out of one of the cuffs. "You seriously should upgrade to better restraints." He chuckled.
"Grr… you're such a pain…" Kaizer groaned with annoyance.
"Hehe, gotta keep reminding yourself that I always find a way." He tossed Kaizer the cuffs and followed Cody. "Later old man."
"P-Please don't taunt my father…" Cody pleaded.
"You know he failed to chase me during my escape five times already?" He remembered as they walk. "Every try, I just find a way thanks to my Quirk."
"How can you even do that?"
"I practice," He shrugged. "And while your father's Quirk is useful, we both know it's better for him when he's using it for surgery."
"R-Right…." Cody sighed, nodding.
"That being said," He turns around. "I am heading out."
"Oh no, you're coming with me to see Naomi. Otherwise, I will leave you here and will ask All-Might for help."
The sniper groaned, "Fine, fine… but after that I am heading out to complete my search."
"We'll see…" Cody sighed as he helped the teen make his way towards where Naomi is at.
"Where are we going anyway?" The older Rider asked.
"We are heading to the cafe so you can talk to Naomi."
"Eh?"
"Did I stutter? You're meeting with Naomi so you two can talk this out again." Cody repeated. "She already told us a bit on what happened, so today you're going to be the one to discuss this without her in tears."
The teen wanted to argue but he suddenly remembered how Naomi was. He lowered his head from the memory. He really did feel guilty for what he said but… it was true. There had to be someone to stop the virus and he made so much progress in a few months than CR could do in years. He was so focused, he was blind to realize he was pushing Naomi and others away as he works on his program. Maybe… Maybe he really has been ignorant… he needed to make up for what he did… not for himself.
But for everyone…
*BA-DUMP!*
Nathan's eyes widened as he gasped, clutching his chest in the burning pain.
"Nathan, are you okay?!" Cody asked in panic, trying to help him up. The sniper took deep breaths before he took a few painkillers. The pain he felt was more excruciating than last time.
"I'm… okay… damn it…" He cringed. "This was way different than yesterday…"
"How long has this pain been with you?" Cody asked the teen.
"Since I was cut by that dragon bastard and the dark Rider…" He responded, still panting.
"Could… that be the reason then? Could their attack be different from a regular Bugster?" He questioned.
"No, since that Bugster and that dark ex-aid were the reason… if they were special, I wouldn't be here right now."
"Still… there has to be something…" Cody pondered before realizing how quickly they got to the cafe, "Ah, well, we're here. Naomi is waiting for you inside."
"Alright…" He took a deep breath before entering the cafe. He looked around before noticing Naomi nibbling on a muffin to her lonesome. Walking over to her, he looks at her before saying, "Naomi…"
The young girl looked up with a flinch as she looked away, "O-Onii-san…" She said. Her tone was easily saddened as she removed the 'sama' for the first time.
The sniper took a seat across from her, noticing she was taking her time with her eating. Seeing her like this was making him concern. "Naomi… I…" He tried to speak. "I… didn't mean for anything like this to happen… I..."
"You made it quite clear…. You plan on sacrificing yourself for the greater good… and that's all you want… Nothing more. No future, no happiness, and certainly not me…" She said, not even giving him eye contact, "And just when I thought you truly cared about my feelings… Guess I was a fool to think I truly could ever change you and Kairi…"
"Naomi it isn't like that." He argued.
"Then what is it!?" She finally snapped, her eyes watered as she looks at him. "Just why do you have to do this, why don't you understand that you will leave behind everyone who cares about you if you sacrifice yourself!?" She questioned him. "No matter what I do, you always do this! All for Kairi! Not for me! Heck, not even Otou-san or anyone else who cares and loves you! It's like you never even cared about us to begin with!"
Nathan gripped his fists tightly before he slammed his fist onto the table, earning a surprised look from Naomi. "I do care about all of you! If it wasn't for father, I wouldn't have been alive or been stuck with my damn biological parents who thinks of me as nothing! You know how it felt to be a child with a Quirk? To be called a freak by your own parents who don't have Quirks!? Just like our grandfather, thinking us like trash! I do my best every day when you all accepted me. I fight because I wanted to protect all of you! Not because I don't care, I do this because I don't want to lose the family who accepted me, cared for me, raised me, even loved!"
"Then why? Why on God's earth are you willing to kill yourself for everyone?!" She demanded.
"Because I am afraid!" He shouted, earning silence from the blonde, as well as somehow the whole store remaining silent, only for him to glance to see the owner holding his hand out, most likely making some barrier for them to have their privacy. "I am afraid of losing more people… being casted out like trash… I had no one to go to back then… until Kairi's family allowed me to stay when my damn parents didn't want me near them… after her death, it felt like the fault was all mine… her parents blamed me for her death… it felt like I was outcasted by everyone…."
"Nathan…." Naomi said softly, "So… why sacrifice yourself and paint a target on yourself then? It's only hurting me and those who care for you…."
"To help everyone… and to show that I am not a nobody, but a someone…" He looks at Naomi. "It was why I was granted the title as a hero a year ago. I fought, practice, trained by the best and become who I am. An official hero. A soldier on a mission: To become strong enough and stop the mess, to prove that I am somebody."
"Nathan…." Naomi softly called out, only to get up as she walked over and hugged the young teen tightly, "Then please… don't do this… don't sacrifice yourself to prove this… you already have shown that you're somebody…" She said, pulling back with a smile but tears in her eyes, "You're Kamen Rider Snipe… And my soul mate…."
Nathan smiled before he kissed her forehead. "Will you forgive me, Naomi?"
"Of course, Onii-sama.." She smiled before she then kissed him on the lips.
"Come on, let's head home."
But as the two finally turned around, they only could see Cody standing there, gawking with his jaw wide open… He saw everything, including the kiss.
"Y-You gotta be kidding me…" He stammered. "Y-You and… so the reason Naomi seemed more happier one day…" His face turned beet red. "O-Oh…"
Naomi blushed heavily while Nathan glared at Cody. "Don't speak of this to anyone else, got it?" He warned.
"Are you kidding me?! They have to know! Both Mina and Ochako called it, that you two are a thing!" He said, pointing at them before he was about to pull out his phone and tell the others.
Naomi then grabbed Cody's phone and crushed it.
"H-Hey! That was a present from sis!" He whined.
"Keep it a secret and not tell anyone." She warned darkly, her eyes yellow.
Cody gulped shivering softly as it almost looked like he turned into a chibi, "Y-Yes ma'am..." He squeaked.
"If I ever hear you tell them, you wish you were a girl." Naomi added, only to hear a defenseful squeak from the teen.
"Y-Yes…" He squeaked higher.
Her expression changed to her innocent look, "Good! Now let's go!"
"B-But to where?" Cody asked her, unsure what to do and worried one step and he would be sliced by her.
"I have to head back to CR so your dad won't get upset," Nathan sighed. "Honestly, you forgot that you had to make sure I don't leave your sights?"
"O-Oh… right…" He kept away from Naomi. 'She is scary…'
The three were about to leave until Nathan's phone rang. He sighed before reaching in his pocket and noticed an unknown caller. Raising an eyebrow, he answered. "Hello?"
"AH! Finally I reached you… Snipe…" The voice of that mysterious teen came through.
Nathan's eyes widened in recognition of the voice. "You!?" He growled.
"Hehe, that was quite the emotional scene you gave to your girl, wasn't it?"
Nathan looks around with his Quirk before noticing a familiar teen sitting on a table, his feet resting on top of it. He waved at him as the sniper growled. Naomi and Cody were confused before they followed his sight and saw the teen from afar, but barely.
"Hello!" He waved, as if he could see him using his Quirk.
"What do you want from me this time, punk?" Nathan demanded. "I am not giving up the data to you monsters."
"I for one, don't truly care for your lousy data." He sighed, "I'm only here to tell you one thing… Best head home to daddy." He smirked before vanishing.
Nathan was confused until his skin went pale. "We have to get to the Shirogane manor, now. And Cody, bring the others."
Tatsuya gritted his teeth as he blocked Gemn's chainblade with his katana. The two fighters locked in place, both Quirkless but even strength. But it soon broke as he forced his weapon down onto the veteran's shoulder before slicing downward, cutting the knight as sparks and blood spewed from the attack.
"GAH!" He rolled across the ground, his health already at 34%.
"Heh, one more and you'll have your Game Over… Just like with Tora…" He chuckled.
"Not a chance," Gemn turned around, greeted with a few shots that sent him away. By the wooden doors was Snipe along with his friends.
"Finally you come… I was getting bored with this weakling…" The Dark Rider spat out.
"You want me?" He brought out the knife and held the gun close. "Then come and get it, bitch."
"With pleasure…" He growled, walking over to him.
Cody and Lady Brave were about to join in before Graphite walked in front of the riders and friends, waving his finger.
"Sorry… no children allowed…" He chuckled, drawing out his blades as he walked towards the group.
"Naomi… Be on guard, even at LV 3, he's tough…" Cody warned.
"Right…" Lady Brave nodded as she glanced at Snipe. 'Be careful…'
The two fighters circled around, weapons ready. "You wanted the data so bad, you had to harm my father." He growled. "That's low, even for you."
"Heh, it's due to the fact that I have all of the data I need of him, therefore, he's useless to me.." The Dark Rider chuckled, "But this is all I need… Once you're gone, it'll be easier to remove the unwanted subjects."
"And yet you can't pinpoint more about me," He taunted, seeing the dark Rider growl in anger.
"Maybe so…. But my worries will fade once you die…"
"We will see about that," The dark rider roared as he lunged at him as the sniper blocked the chain blade and used his Gashacon Magnum to shoot a few rounds at his knees.
He grunts in pain, kicking the rider away before bringing up Shakariki Sports and pressed it. The game field forms as the sentient bike flew out, knocking the rider away as it continued its attack as the rider placed the Gashat into the driver before closing and reopening the panel.
[A-GACHA! SHAKARIKI SPORTS!]
The bike smacked the rider away before racing over and placing itself onto the Rider, giving him his Level 3 before he tossed the wheel at him, as it struck and bounced off before coming back and striking him again. He got stronger than last time.
Snipe fired again but the dark rider dodged as Snipe used his Quirk to enhance his shots with precise precision. He ducked from the wheel and looked back to shoot it before looking back at Gemn and fired a few more rounds.
As they fought, Cody in his LV 3 armor with Lady Brave in LV 3 fought against Graphite, the two using their close range attacks to harm the Dragon Bugster while the others helped deal with a few of the minions as well as helping the people of the Shirogane household to a safer place.
"Naomi! Give me a boost!" Cody cried out, rushing at her.
"Hai!' She revved the disk on her arm as the tune changed for a moment and released a few music tunes that had images of a sword with an arrow pointing up along with an image of figure jumping.
The young rider reached the notes and he made a quick movement dance before the last note allowed him to jump up high into the air. He flew up before breaking two boxes and sent a metal power item towards the lady knight as he took a super speed item.
"Item Get!" He grinned, vanished in the blink of an eye, causing the Bugster to growl and look around, trying to find him, but forgetting that Lady Brave was also in this fight as the metal power up dropped on her, and coated her with metal around her body.
"You keep losing focus!" She said, striking the Bugster as sparks casted off its hide. "And this is for trespassing on our home, again!" She struck him much more than before and used the music to her advantage. Graphite cried out in pain as the several misses built up and hit him all at once, causing him to growl in anger.
[GEKITOTSU! CRITICAL STRIKE!]
The Dragon Bugster's eyes widen as Cody reappeared in front of him, fist glowing brightly as he held back his punch, "Gum-Gum no…." He muttered before thrusting his fist into the stomach of the Bugster, "Jet Pistol!" He cried out as the attack launched the Bugster past the border and luckily over it without causing any damage to the household.
Back with Snipe and Gemn, the sniper was now in his LV 3 form, using the gatling guns with his Quirk to shoot at the dark rider, the rounds causing Gemn to use his wheels to defend himself.
By looking to his left, he noticed a power up and he knew exactly what is was as he rushed over to it, breaking it as the power up entered his body, giving him a soft white glow as the bullets then began to bounce off with ease.
"You're done…" The Dark Rider said, placing in the Gashat holder and pressing the button as he tossed the wheel towards the rider at it hit him hard, dropping his health down to half.
The sniper growled as he slowly stood up, glaring at the Gemn. "Not a chan-"
*BA-DUMP!*
Snipe gasped for air, his breathing suddenly lost itself as he clutched his chest. The pain inside him was even more painful than he ever felt. It really felt like his entire body was dropped in a volcano, his body burning and his heart beating harshly. "W-Why now…" He gritted his teeth in pain underneath his helmet.
The Dark Rider took this chance as he jumped up after him, his leg extended as he pressed the button again, energy enveloping his foot as he flew towards him, and struck him hard, dropping his health down again as the sniper crashed into the ground, now back in his LV 2 form.
"Oh… we're not done yet, brat…" He growled, walking over and kicking his side, before he reached down and gripped his neck, "I'm about to introduce you to hell…" He said before he brought out… a blank Gashat?
"A blank Gashat?" Cody noticed.
"Yes.. one filled with enough Bugster virus to even kill a rider… but is missing one piece. Him."
Cody and the others were filled with horror upon the information.
"Now time to test it... " The Dark Rider grinned, placing in the Gashat into the second slot of his driver. In moments it did nothing before unleashing a large amount of Bugster Virus inside Snipe to force the special Bugster strand to unite with it.
"AAAAAAAAHHHHHHH!" He screamed in agony.
"Onii-sama!" Lady Brave cried out, only to be stopped by Graphite who came back.
The sensation caused static to surround his body, the pain unimaginable. He needed it to stop! He was about to struggle before the Dark rider planting his Bugsvisor through his palm, keeping his free hand from doing anything.
"Oh no… You're going to receive all of this… I hope you're ready to die for the pest you are?"
Snipe slowly and weakly glared at Gemn. Slowly placing his other hand onto the Bugsvisor, he said, "I… am… not… a pest…" He growled, slowly gripping the blade. He was no pest. He was not a nothing. He is someone. A sniper. A fighter. A hero. A Kamen Rider. "I am… Kamen… Rider… SNIPE!"
The Gashat glowed brighter before it created a shockwave, pushing the Dark Rider away as he then stood up before the Gashat ejected from the slot, as it's blank, black coloring changed and revealed the color and image. It was a light blue Gashat with the title Bang-Bang Tank with the Bang-Bang figure on a small tank. The sniper slowly stood up with heavy breaths, the health bar on his chest increasing back to full health.
"Sugoi… the Gashat completed itself from the special Bugster within his body, without killing him…" Parad grinned in joy. It was definitely interesting. While Cody was one person of interest, it seems there is now another one to add in his list.
"W-What the? What is this?" The Dark Rider gawked. This wasn't supposed to happen, he was suppose to die!
"The Special Virus in me…" He laughed slightly. "Thanks to Graphite and you, it's bonding with tis Gashat…"
"Y-You… You dare make a game without the game master's approval?!" He snapped.
Snipe laughed, "You a game master? Please!" The sudden change made Gemn flinch. "Even a player can best a game master. Don't you know? While a game master makes their games, that doesn't mean players can too." He brings up the Gashat. "Now… let's bring in the artillery."
BANG-BANG TANK!
Behind him was the title of the game but what flew out was a rather large camouflage-colored, robotic tank that flew around him as a tune played reminded the others of the old game, Stellar 7.
"A-A tank!?" Izuku gawked.
"You know… this makes sense…" Cody noted, "Snipe is based off of Shooting Games/FPS and Jet Combat is aerial combat. Next up would be tank warfare."
"K-KISAMA!" The Dark Rider howled, rushing towards the rider, only for the tank to defend it's user and blast him away, giving him space to change.
"Initiate Tactics: Level 4," He declared.
"LEVEL 4!?" Cody and Lady Brave gasped.
[GASHATTO!/GACHAAN! LEVEL UP!]
[BA-BANG, BANG! BANG BA-BANG! YOW! BANG-BANG SHOOTING GO!]
[A-GACHA! BANG-BANG, SHOOT DOWN! BANG-BANG, TAKE DOWN! BANG-BANG TA~NK!]
The large machine disassembled and attached to his body. His upper torso was covered in heavy armor as a metal plate was on the left side of the collar armor as if it acts as a blast shield, the STG symbol etched on the metal plating of his chest. Both legs had heavy armor with tank treads on the backside of his legs. His shoulders were more broad and heavy, an infantry turret mounted on his right shoulder.
What made them gawk was the cannon that was connected to his left forearm. It was similar to a tank barrel, heavy artillery shells strapped to his arm, protected from any outside contact.
The finish was his helmet as the hair fringe moved to the side as a heavy armor piece was placed onto his helmet, completely acting as a faceguard if needed.
The way he was, it felt like he was ready for war.
"Holy…" Cody and Izuku gawked.
"O-Onii-sama!?" Lady Brave gasped upon seeing this form.
Snipe could only laugh, "HAHAHAHA! Now we are talking!" He felt rather excited. His body's durability was over the roof! His Quirk felt more enhanced than ever! It felt like he could shoot from one city to another! He felt like a literal one man army!
"Bakana…" Graphite grunted as the dark ex-aid could only stumble in shock.
"It's time to play a game!" The gun on his shoulder revved up. "One shot ends a player!" And just like that, his gun unleashed heavy machine gun rounds as the two Bugsters immediately evaded upon the gunfire.
He used the cannon and aimed at the dark ex-aid, "Who is laughing now, huh?!" His Quirk activated, the barrel fired a heavy artillery shell as the cannon blast sent Gemn flying as the damage left a large crater. The dark Rider grunted as his health was down to 45%. He could see that the damage and his Quirk took out half of his health!
"Die already!" The Dark Rider called out, smashing a box and obtaining a Muscle Up, but upon contact, it barely did anything.
The headplate on top of the helmet folded down, protecting him as the sniper tackled the dark rider through before slamming him to the ground and kicked him harshly.
"You…" he growled in anger. He fired but the shots barely dented his armor. "What?!"
"The new form must have immensely increased his defense…" Poppy realized. "That form really is unique…"
"HAHAHA! Oh man, this is a rush I needed!" Snipe laughed as he fired, sending the enemy finally on the defensive. The way he was, showed he were so screwed. He finally showed them what he can do.
"Kisama!" He howled out, lashing out to attack the enemy, but each strike barely did anything to him. He had super armor on and he was enjoying it well.
Snipe used the tank barrel and slammed it against his chest. "Bang!" He grinned fiercely with glee as the cannon, combined with his Quirk, sent Gemn through the household due to the blast. Gemn stumbled a bit as Parad watched from the tree next to the dark rider, staring at the sniper with interest.
The Rider aimed at both individuals with a grin under the helmet, his Quirk active and weapons aimed. "Now, Gemn, who is the weakling now? Who is the top dog!"
"Y-You're crazy…" he never could believe this. The Gashat was supposed to kill him, not give him power! Now, the Level 4 form he sees had immense defensive power. While it sacrifices agility for defense, it sure worked well for Snipe due to his Quirk. The chance of a higher level to go against Bang Bang Tank, it was slim to even win due to the combination of the Longshot Quirk and Bang Bang Tank. Using heavy artillery with a Quirk that powers any shot he throws, it would possibly level half a city, making him a literal killing machine.
The perfect combo.
"Now... I suggest you stand down or I will blast you to bits before you can run," Snipe warned. "My Quirk won't make me miss."
"Then how about me, boy?" Graphite announced, walking in, "You finally look strong enough to finally deal with me, even if you're no match against my power."
The sniper turned around to face Graphite as the turret on his shoulder aimed along with the cannon as well, his Quirk ready to enhance his power, ready to level the area with Graphite taken down. "My Quirk will put you down," He grinned fiercely. "My previous Levels barely did but in this, I can. I am not afraid of you, Bugster. Mission will be complete."
"Heh, is that so? Then tell me… how long have you been using your Quirk since this fight started?" Graphite asked, as within moments, his visor began to blur and shift. While this did increase his power, the backlash of his Quirk was also increased as well, as he started to see 10 Graphite standing there.
"Shit…" He grimaced. He was so focused on Gemn, he forgot about his Quirk being used.
"If anyone should pull back, it's you boy…" Graphite said, walking closer to him, waiting for his answer and hoping it would be fighting.
Snipe felt his vision blur but… he could hear the footsteps, the smell of that stench. Of course… his backup plan…. "Maybe…" He aimed and fired, pushing Graphite from the blast. "But I forgot one thing. A hero must have a backup plan."
"Maybe so… But you're still no match for me…" Grpahite said, swinging at the rider, as sparks did fly off from the strike.
"We will see about that," He focused more on his Quirk, his vision becoming more blurry but his hearing helped him find Graphite and fired an artillery shell and turret rounds, sparks casting off its body. The Rider used it again, and again, pushing Graphite as the firepower increased with his hearing.
"NOW!" Snipe growled, taking out the Gashat before placing it into the holder and pressing the button.
[GASHATTO! KIMEWAZA!]
The cannon then folded outward as he placed his shooter hand inside it before it reconfigured into a literal hand cannon. It soon began to charge up as a image of the target appeared as the indicator moved over towards him before locking on as he pressed the button on last time.
[BANG-BANG! CRITICAL STRIKE!]
"Aim…" The Bugster and Gemn stumbled from the charge as it was glowing brighter and bigger from his Quirk. "FIRE!"
And just like that, the blast tore half of the household, while the blast carried the two enemies away, damaging them severely before they vanished, leaving the area without a trace as the blast continued, even piercing through the mountain side that laid past the city, creating a hole through it before the blast faded. Steam poured out from the armor before it and the rider armor vanished, revealing a weakened Nathan as he stood there, panting while his vision was almost gone from him.
He panted and fell to his knees, glancing at the Gashat. "Thank… you…" He thanked before everything went black.
In moments the young teen regained his vision, but instead of a hospital, it was the ceiling that resembled Cody's apartment as the dim light shined above him. He groaned softly, leaning forward, only to be tackled by Naomi.
"You're awake!" She cried out as her hold tightened.
He coughed, "Naomi… you're crushing me…"
"Oh!" she soon back away, blushing softly, "S-Sorry…"
"It's okay…" His body no longer felt the burning pain. "What happened…?"
"You passed out." Kaizer said, walking into the room. "Used too much of your Quirk with that new Gashat. It drained you almost completely. A bit longer and you would be blind."
"I can barely see a thing right now…" He grumbled, his vision still recovering.
"Just don't use your Quirk for 24 hours and you'll be fine, kid." He smiled, "Also… you did went overboard a bit…." He grimaced, showing him the damage he made to his household.
"Oh… hehehe…." He chuckled nervously.
"So, until its repairs are finished you and your family will be staying here."
"Eh?" Nathan cocked an eyebrow. "Mind repeating that?"
"Your parents and I agreed to let you stay here in our apartment until your repairs are complete.
"Ah crap…" He faceplanted against the palm of his hand.
"Oh, and you father wanted me to tell you that you're grounded."
"Oh come on!" He groaned irritably. "First, you had to keep me in cuffs, which I easily escaped from, then I had to deal with that damn Gemn and Graphite, and nearly got killed for that Special Bugster Strand!"
"Oh speaking of that, can I observe it-"
"Absolutely not!"
"Well, I tried." Kaizer sighed. "Look, this is only temporary. It's better than being out on the streets or in a crappy hotel. Be thankful we agreed to let you stay here for now."
Nathan sighed, "Fine…" He then saw Naomi smiling as she presented him his laptop. Nathan checked it over and felt relief. "It seems they couldn't get it… and with that special bugster strand, it is fastening the creation of the program…"
"The gashat… just… how did you even survive? You do realize that it nearly killed you when it tried to emerge." Kaizer asked.
Nathan lowered his head for a moment. "... I honestly have no clue. I swore I heard a voice…"
"A voice?" Naomi tilted her head.
"It… was familiar to be honest…" He admitted. "And when I tried to fight it, it said, 'Remember where you came from, Nathan'."
Naomi and Kaizer looked at one another before turning back to him. "If anything, it could've been a hallucination from all that pain and what the Virus does to your body. I wouldn't pay it any mind."
"It didn't feel like it," He shook his head. "It was more real and I know if I was seeing things. My Quirk keeps my eyes focused until it becomes blurry, not hallucinate."
"Maybe…. Kairi's spirit?" Naomi noted.
Nathan was quiet. There was just something about what happened. Just… how was it even possible?
"Well, it's best not to worry about it now. Get some rest alright? You kids do have school." Kaizer noted.
"Ah right… I still have my work to do for the students," Nathan remembered. "Might as well get the work ready… again…" He looked at his laptop and typed away as Kaizer left the room while Naomi stared at Nathan who was typing. "Something wrong Naomi?" he asked as he kept focus on the laptop.
She shook her head, a soft smile on her face as she curls up next to him, "Nothing is wrong, Onii-sama… I'm just glad you're okay…."
A smile graced his lips, "Same here, Naomi. I'm glad I am as well." He said before kissing her softly to which she responded back as well.
Within Genm Corp, Dan Kuroto growled heavily in anger as he destroyed more of his property in frustration. All of that effort and not only did he lose it all, but someone used it to make a Gashat without his genius attached to it! It disgusted him!
"Nathan Shirogane… I swear I will end you!" He cried out.
"He is an interesting one like Cody," Parad commented, playing his game.
Kuroto turned to the teen, "Interesting? He is a thief!"
"He survived the virus that could have killed him, leading to that Gashat. Guess that special Bugster had other plans than we realized."
"Then… If that's how it'll be…" Kuroto growled, rushing to his desk, "Then I'll make two stronger LV 4 Gashats and erase that pest once and for all…"
"Bastard nearly made me into ashes from the blast…" Graphite grunted, still feeling the pain. "That Gashat and Quirk… it made it worse of that attack."
"Then… perhaps we should hire someone to deal with it?" Parad offered with a grin, "We do have another compatible user after all… Even if he is locked up… Things could happen where he is free… right?"
"Would he even catch up with that brat? That kid shot me and Kuroto through a damn mountain! Kuroto is still reeling from his sore back!"
"Simple… I give him 2 Proto Gashats…" Kuroto said, "One is strong enough to deal with Lv 3's… Imagine what power it'll hold should he even use two of them? Plus, it would give us enough data to make the other Lv 4 Gashats, and even complete the LV 5 Gashat as well…"
"Hmm…. still… due to what you did, he is insane now… Who knows if he'll betray us?" Graphite noted.
"True…. But once LV X is finished… He won't be needed." Kuroto said, already gaining ideas on how to create the next two LV 4 Gashats.
"Then it settled… Proto-Snipe shall rejoin the game…" Parad grinned, "Just thinking about his chaos is making my heart dance…."
A/N: Hey Minna! Hope you've enjoy this chap? :3 This one was a very special treat.
So yes. LV 4 is a thing here and will be happening to all of the main 4 riders. Bang-Bang Tank was of course, made by ShadowBladeKnight when we were chatting around. Since we have no idea if it has a form or not, we decided to give it one. The others will get their own LV 4, with Lady Brave being the easiest with Night of Safari.
But for Lazer and Ex-Aid? Well, I got something special for Ex-Aid, as for Lazer? Not sure as of right now. But I'm willing to allow anyone who has an idea for a LV 4 for him to be added in. So if you got an idea, please PM it to me directly. This way we can communicate and stay in touch for the idea. ^^
The next few chaps are gonna be special and BIG!
So until then, later minna!
