Chapter 4: Gravity Dance
"MOVE!" Kai screamed, causing the girls to scramble from the lethal torrent of water coming at them. Kai was in his black and green Chrono Form, armed with the Twin Edge Chrono Blade. He had tried to finish the fight with his time powers. Unfortunately, his opponent was not easy for him to beat.
Standing before him was a massive, draconic beast, a sea serpent to be more precise. However, its body was made up of the bodies of the members of the Swim Team, all merged together to create this abomination. It was in the middle of the pool and using the water to perform its attacks. Kai had tried to use his speed and ability to manipulate time to fight it, but unfortunately, nothing was working. Even Mizore's ice proved ineffective as the Sea Serpent Freak just shattered the ice with ease.
And it had started out as a nice day too.
Earlier that day, Nekonome-sensei had told them that since they were learning how to adapt to the human world, then joining a club was mandatory. Shintaro didn't really understand the logic in that, but he went for it. Following that, the students were told to go out and see the Club Recruitment Fair.
All of the school clubs had set up stands and trying their best to attract new members. Some of the clubs were downright creepy and a few went overboard. The Mummy Club was weird, the Acupuncture Club made Shintaro's joints ache, and the Chemistry Club was creepy to Moka. The Photography Club, well, they just wanted pretty girls to join and model for them. Not exactly a club Shintaro was OK with if all they wanted was extra eye candy.
There were a few clubs here and there that appeared normal, but nothing that actually appealed to Shintaro. Also, the girls did not want to join a club that he wasn't in. It would be pointless for them to be separated into different clubs.
Then there was the Swim Team and they were doing well with attracting potential recruits to add to their membership. They were dressed in bikinis and were sexy. While Shintaro would've liked to get to know them, he decided not to get too close to the water for Moka's sake. Yukari, Kurumu and Mizore, on the other hand, had put on bathing suits to enjoy themselves in the water.
Then the Swim Team showed their true colors, becoming hideous mermaids with big mouths, sharp teeth, and a hunger for male energy. Mizore, having seen this, flash froze the pool along with the mermaids. That should've resolved the issue, right?
Of course things were never that easy. Something had happened, causing the mermaids to merge and transform into this giant monster. It was probably one of those strange chips again if Shintaro had to guess. Now, they were fighting against a hideous amalgamation of female flesh.
Tendrils of water then whipped at the girls but Kai used his speed to deflect them. However, he needed power to defeat the Freak the mermaids had become. He needed that power which he had used against the Slug Freak. Unfortunately for him, he was not able to call on it consciously. Suddenly, the Sea Serpent Freak lashed out with its tail and coiled it tight around Kai's body, lifting him up. He struggled to free himself.
"Let him go!" Kurumu shouted as she flew at the Sea Serpent Freak to free her chosen one, but a high-pressured blast of water knocked her out of the air and to the solid ground.
"KURUMU-CHAN!" Kai shouted. She was lying there, not moving. "No..." Was she dead. "No...please no..." he begged. She wasn't moving. Mizore, Yukari and Moka went to check on her. "NOOOOOO!" he roared. The plates on his armor and eyes glowed blue and his body unleashed lightning bolts. The Sea Serpent Freak was forced to release Kai as he transformed into Kamen Rider Kai Tempest Form. He summoned up a tall pillar of water and stood upon it. He glared at the Sea Serpent Freak angrily and then used his power to surrounded the Freak with a whirling pillar of water that lifted it high into the air.
"TIME'S UP FOR YOU!" Kai shouted as he was catapulted into the air. His Twin Edge Chrono Blade became enveloped in electrical energy. He then separated both the swords that made up his weapons, the swords linked by a chain made of lightning. With a mighty throw, he hurled the short sword at the Serpent Freak, the lightning chain lengthening as the short sword flew. The chain then wrapped around the Sea Serpent Freak's maw, binding it shut. With the chain retracting, Kai dove down like a meteor, his weapon pointed forward, electricity trailing behind him as he roared. 'Tempest Bolt!' he called mentally. His attack struck and there was an explosion.
Kai landed as it rained mermaids. Some fell into the pool, unconscious, and the unlucky ones fell on solid concrete. They were all alive, fortunately. As for Tamao Ichinose, Captain of the Swim Team, she groaned in pain as the Freak Chip fell off her body before turning into dust.
"Kurumu-chan!" Kai shouted as he reverted back to human form. He went to check on her. She was surrounded by the girls. "Give me room!" he shouted. Moka, Yukari and Mizore moved aside.
"She's been hurt," said Moka. Shintaro could see the bruises, scrapes and blood.
"Please be OK. Please be OK," Shintaro pleaded as he put his hands over Kurumu. They glowed and her injuries began to heal. "Please, wake up." Kurumu's eyes opened and she gazed up at Shintaro. "I'm so sorry," he apologized.
"Why?" she asked.
"You got hurt because I got careless," he explained. "I'm sorry."
Kurumu sat up and hugged him. "It was my decision to try and help. Don't worry about it. I'm fine." Shintaro returned the hug, glad that someone he cared about wasn't lost. From a safe distance, the Man in White frowned at the scene he was observing before he walked away.
"At least there's more fish in the sea," he murmured.
"Well, guess there aren't any clubs we can join," remarked Shintaro as he and the girls, back in proper uniform, ate lunch in the cafeteria. The incident with the Swim Team had cancelled the Recruitment Fair.
"It's a shame," sighed Yukari.
"It really is," agreed Moka. "I was hoping we could all join a club together. It would've been so much fun.
"Well, we could just start our own club," suggested Shintaro. The girls looked at him, curious as to what he was suggesting.
"We can?" Kurumu asked. Shintaro took out a handbook and flipped the pages until he found the section he was looking for.
"To start a new club, 5 students are needed, it would also need permission from the faculty and also require a representative of the faculty to act as an advisor and supervisor," Shintaro read.
"You carry the handbook with you all the time?" Mizore asked.
"I read it when I'm bored or to kill time," he answered as he pocketed the handbook. "Well, there's five of us here. So what do you say, girls? How about we start our own club?"
"What kind of club? What will it be about?" Moka asked, interested.
"History and Archaeology," Shintaro said.
"History and Archaeology?" the girls echoed.
"Sounds boring," whined Kurumu.
"Maybe, but uncovering the mysteries of the past has always been an interest of mine," Shintaro confessed. "I mean, when I look at an old grandfather clock, I wonder how old it is, where it was made, who made it and who owned it. Finding the answers to those questions is just so much fun."
"It could be interesting," said Yukari. "Let's try it."
"But do you know how?" Moka asked.
"I'll just go to the office and get a form to start a new club. It shouldn't be hard," said Shintaro with a smile.
"Do you already have a teacher chosen to act as your advisor?" Kaze asked. Shintaro had called Kaze to tell him the news, that he was going to start his own club.
"John Smith-sensei," said Shintaro. "He teaches World History. I'm sure that if I approach him the right way, he'll agree."
"Well, good luck then. Oh, when summer vacation comes, you should bring the girls over for a visit," Kaze suggested.
"You'll just flirt with them," Shintaro frowned.
"I'll just say hello," Kaze defended.
"For you that's flirting."
After school the following day, Shintaro went towards the faculty office to speak with John Smith-sensei. He was Youkai Academy's World History teacher and according to gossip one of the most popular male teachers since he had a fanclub of girls who would swoon at the sight of him. The students in his class would always pay attention to his every word and Shintaro enjoyed his class very much. He even added small notes that were not in the history textbooks and he often spoke of historical events like he had actually been there or historical figures as if he had met them personally. He had a way of immersing the students in the lesson and he was the one signature Shintaro needed in order to get the new club approved.
"So, now that you've heard my proposal, could you please become our faculty advisor?" Shintaro asked John Smith-sensei.
John Smith was a man who looked to be in his early thirties. He had short, silver-white hair and violet eyes. Over his eyes he wore a stylish pair of glasses. He was dressed in a green blazer and matching slacks with a black t-shirt. He also wore black boots. He smiled brightly at Shintaro. "I would be happy to, Shintaro."
"That's great," said Shintaro as he put down the form for Smith-sensei to sign. Shintaro, Yukari, Moka, Kurumu, and Mizore's names had already been put down as a minimum of five members, plus a signature from a faculty member, were needed to form a new club. Smith-sensei took out a pen and signed the paper before stamping his seal.
"There," said Smith-sensei, "Oh, and I can already see you'll have a lot of fun with your new club."
"We will, and thank you, Smith-sensei!" Shintaro bowed and left with the form.
Shintaro handed in the form and got the new club approved. He was then given a key for an unused clubroom. He smiled. Already, the start of their new club was looking good. Still, he had to wonder if the girls were interested. He could tell that Yukari wanted this club to become a reality as it gave her a chance to spend time with him, and also study history that wasn't taught in the classroom, but what about Moka, Kurumu and Mizore? They probably agreed because it gave them a reason to spend more time with him.
And to be honest, Shintaro didn't mind spending more time with them, but the History and Archaeology Club did need to fulfil its objective, which meant studying history, but the type of history Shintaro was interested in were mysteries such as lost continents that only existed in the form of myths. Places like Mu, Atlantis and Lumeria which were said to be advanced civilisations, only to be lost in time. Those historical mysteries were something he wanted to solve. Maybe they were real, maybe they were myth, but Shintaro really wanted to know.
Another set of examples would be Stonehenge and also the Moai stone statues of Easter Island. He wanted to know how old they were and why they had been built. Also, mysterious Ooparts (Out of Place Artifacts) that popped up. History was full of mysteries, and he wanted to solve them all.
"Well, here it is, our new clubroom," said Shintaro as he stood in front of the door with the girls. They had cleaning instruments with them. Since they were being given this room, it would be their responsibility to get it cleaned up. He put in the key and twisted it before sliding the door open. He was assaulted by a cloud of dust and started coughing.
"Shintaro-kun, are you OK?" Moka asked.
"Fine," he said. "Just some dust. I'll be OK."
"When was the last time anyone's been in here?" Kurumu questioned as she examined the interior of the room. Everything had a thick layer of dust over them.
"A long time," stated Mizore. "A really long time."
"Well, let's get to cleaning then," said Shintaro. "Yukari-chan, would you mind doing the honors?"
"Desu!" Yukari waved her wand and sent brooms and dusters in to take care of the dust problem.
"Once the brooms and dusters are done, we'll do the rest," said Shintaro. The windows needed cleaning too, and the floor needed to be mopped, not to mention they needed to get rid of the pile of boxes shoved into the corner of the room.
"Ah a cockroach!" Kurumu screamed.
"Get it away!" Moka yelled.
"Gross!" exclaimed Yukari.
"Somebody kill it!" shouted Mizore.
Shintaro watched, in bizarre fascination, as the girls ducked and dodged from a flying cockroach in panic. It just didn't make sense how these monster-girls could be afraid of such thing. Then again, cockroaches were disgusting and spread diseases. When the cockroach landed on the wall, it was immediately flattened by Shintaro with his slipper.
"There," he said and he grimaced at the mess he'd made. "OK, now I'm grossed out." The girls cheered for him for being so brave. 'Seriously, these girls are supposed to be scary and dangerous monsters?'
The brooms and dusters did their work, which left the members of the soon to be official History and Archaeology Club to get to work cleaning up the place. Moka and Kurumu had each grabbed a chair and climbed on so they could clean the windows. Because the skirts were short, Shintaro could actually see up them. He looked away so he could concentrate on his own work. He was going to carry out the boxes of unnecessary junk and clutter. Of course, before getting rid of them, he checked them to see if there was anything worth keeping. He found a lot of old books. Could this have been the Literary Club? Had it been disbanded for a very long time? It was quite a shame, and these books looked like they still had value. Perhaps he could keep a few, send some back home and donate the rest to the library.
Mizore was cleaning the whiteboard, getting rid of what little dust remained with a washcloth and a bucket of water with Yukari mopping the floor.
By the time they were done cleaning, it was already getting dark. Tomorrow, they would start decorating the club. Shintaro already had a few ideas of what to put up on the wall and what else was needed to make it look like a club interested in history and archaeology.
"Well, looks like you kids are working hard," said Smith-sensei and the girls gasped as he stood at the door. "Looks like you're taking this project seriously."
"Of course we are, Smith-sensei," Shintaro smiled.
"Well, at this rate, we can get started on club meetings soon. I sure hope you can show some enthusiasm," encouraged Smith-sensei before leaving the teens.
"We better head back to the dorms before it gets dark," Shintaro suggested.
The day ended with another round of hijinks of Shintaro and his four friends. Moka couldn't resist taking another sip of Shintaro's delicious blood before they went home. Kurumu of course took exception to this and pushed Moka away before enveloping Shintaro in her chest, incidentally cutting off his air supply. Mizore naturally did not like this and showed her displeasure by freezing the succubus in a block of ice before trying to sneak Shintaro off for a snuggle. Yukari cut her off by conjuring a kettle of hot water to chase the yuki-onna around while the little witch tried once again to get Shintaro interested in her. In the end, everyone was feeling more weary than when the school day ended but they couldn't find it in themselves to complain about it.
At the shoe lockers, Moka opened her locker and saw an envelope. She took it out and examined it. It was addressed to her, but referred to her as 'Beautiful Moka-chan'. Judging by its appearance, it had to be none other than a love letter. Moka couldn't help but just stare at the letter for a moment, never having received one from anybody before.
"A love letter?" Kurumu asked as she looked over Moka's shoulder, causing the pink-haired vampire to gasp. "Ooh, can I see? Come on, lemme take a look!"
"No, this is private!" exclaimed Moka. Mizore was behind her and she shivered.
"If you read it, that'll probably mean less competition for me," said Mizore.
"Um..." Moka bit her lip and then saw Yukari looking at her, eyes sparking with curiosity.
"Come on, Moka-san! Open it and read what it says!" urged Yukari, wanting to know the contents of the letter.
"Hey, don't crowd around her like that," chided Shintaro. "As for the contents of the letter, that's Moka-chan's business. It's supposed to be private."
"Shintaro-kun, thank you," said Moka. She was touched that he understood.
"So, who's it from?" he asked, also curious.
"I haven't opened it yet," said Moka. "Do you think I should?"
"Well, they did send you a letter. Would be impolite not to read it since they put their heart into it," he said.
"Even if it's a love letter?" Kurumu asked and Shintaro's right eyebrow momentarily twitched. It happened too quickly for anyone to notice.
"Even if it's a love letter," he confirmed. "Besides, it's just a letter. It wouldn't hurt to read it."
"I think I'll read it back in my room," said Moka as she stuffed the letter into her bag. "See you all tomorrow!"
"Yeah," said Shintaro. "I'm just gonna head back to my room to get some stuff to fill up the clubroom."
"You're pulling an all-nighter?" Kurumu asked. "Need company?" she offered.
"Nah, I'm good. Besides, you girls need your beauty sleep," he told them. "I'll be fine." He went over to where his bike was parked. "Anybody want a ride?" he asked.
"ME!" all four girls cried out and he chuckled.
"Sorry, I have only room for one more," he said.
"Rock, paper, scissors! Rock, paper, scissors! Rock, paper, scissors!"
Shintaro watched in amusement as the girls played Rock-Paper-Scissors to determine who would ride on his bike with him.
After dropping Yukari off (she had won the Rock-Paper-Scissors game), Shintaro went to his dorm to grab a few things and put them into a box before taking them back to the clubroom. As he walked through the halls of the dorm, all he could hear the other boys talking about was the news that Moka had received a love letter. Somehow, despite the event being private, the whole school seemed to know about it anyway. All the guys kept talking about was how pissed off they were that some punk had the gall to write Moka a love letter while others wondered if it finally meant they could take a shot at hooking up with her. All of the talk made Shintaro growl internally, angry at how all the guys seemed to regard Moka as a prize to be claimed rather than the sweet girls she was.
Ignoring the feeling and the overly-hormonal ramblings, Shintaro went back to his new clubroom to begin making the place into a real clubroom for himself and the girls. He went and started on decorating the place, bringing out photos of ancient sites and books that could come in handy for the club's activities. He even had a small ancient trinket or two that he had brought from home to make subjects of study as the first activity for the club. They could be a topic of discussion. As he looked out the window, he spotted Moka at the school gate as she was heading to the school building.
"What's she doing here?" Shintaro wondered. Had the letter instructed her to come to the school building at night? She couldn't have been that naive, could she? Shintaro's eyes narrowed. He smelled a trap. "I better go see what's going on." He then asked, "Why am I talking to myself?" He shrugged and exited the clubroom to see what was Moka doing.
Moka was heading up the stairs to the school rooftop. In her hands was the letter signed by her 'secret admirer'. The letter had instructed her to come to the school roof at this time. It was late, but if the person was waiting for her, then it would be impolite to not give an answer. Suddenly, she felt someone grab her arm. In her panic, she flailed and slapped the assailant across the face, nearly knocking them down the stairs.
"Ow! Moka-chan! That hurt!" Shintaro cried, a hand to his now stinging cheek.
"Shintaro-kun?" Moka asked.
"Yeah," he said, rubbing his cheek. "What are you doing here?"
"The letter told me to come," she said.
"And you just did as it said?" he asked. She nodded. "That's not exactly smart, Moka-chan." He wasn't calling her stupid, just her decision.
"But he's been waiting," she said. "It would be rude to keep them waiting."
"Well, it could be a trap to lure you out here, alone," he countered. "You are a beautiful girl and some guys can't help but take advantage of that."
"I'm beautiful?" she asked, blushing.
"Inside and out," he said honestly, "But a bit naive. You trust people way too easily." She deflated, "But then again, you just need to be more careful when trusting people. It's not a bad thing to trust others, it's just a matter of caution."
"I understand," said Moka. "It's just that I've never gotten a love letter before."
"Really? A pretty girl like you, I thought you'd have gotten a ton of them by now," said Shintaro.
"Thank you," she said, blushing. Shintaro could just be so sweet and he was honest about it too.
"You're welcome. Now, let's not keep your secret admirer waiting," he said.
"We're still going to meet him?" she asked.
"Well, you did say it'd be rude to keep him waiting. At least with me around, if he turns violent, you'll have someone to protect you," he reasoned. Moka smiled and the pair walked up to the roof entrance. When Moka and Shintaro got to the roof, there was Moka's 'secret admirer' waiting for her. He had his back turned to them and wearing the standard uniform. His dark hair was also visible.
"Excuse me, were you the one that gave me the letter?" she asked.
"Moka..." the secret admirer growled, "Akashiya..." Shintaro's eyes narrowed. That growl didn't sound friendly. Then again, when did a growl ever sound friendly at all? It was the secret admirer's next words that would surprise him, "Kuro-no-Shinigami..."
"Moka-chan!" Shintaro shouted as the secret admirer howled and transformed, his clothes tearing apart as he did.
"A werewolf!" exclaimed Moka.
"No, much worse," said Shintaro as the werewolf began to change further, gaining armor plates along his spine, shoulder blades, pectorals, forearms, shoulders, thighs and shins. His fur turned purple as it turned to look at them with red eyes. The teeth were sharp, razor sharp, and the claws looked like they were made of steel. The Wolf Freak then opened its mouth, which separated four ways, giving it a more horrendous appearance as it howled. The howl nearly blew Moka and Shintaro off their feet.
"I knew this was a trap!" shouted Shintaro. He moved to shield Moka, afraid that this Freak would attack her.
"Astute as always, Kuro-no-Shinigami," spoke another person who was present. He was sitting on the fence surrounding the edge of the school roof. It was the Man in White. "How do you like my handiwork?"
"These monsters are your doing?" questioned Shintaro accusingly.
"Again, very correct," said the Man in White as he stood up and walked along the top of the fence without losing his balance. "It's amazing how well my Freak Chips can integrate with the biology of the monsters here. Then again, why shouldn't they be amazing? They are my creation, after all."
"Freak Chips?" Shintaro repeated. Why did it sound so familiar?
"Ah, I see you don't remember," said the Man in White, "Then that means, from your present perspective, this is our first meeting."
"How do you know who I am?" Shintaro asked.
"I've been watching you, Kuro-no-Shinigami," said the Man in White.
"Stop calling me that! Why do you keep calling me that!?" Shintaro shouted.
"Oh, if you remembered, then you'd know that the title suits you," said Man in White, "However, I will not be providing you that answer. The only answer I will give you is my name. You must be wondering that."
The Man in White said, arms spread to the side, "Call me...SHIROKU!" He then leaned his body back and fell off the fence to the ground below. Shintaro ran towards the fence but was stopped by the Wolf Freak who slashed at him with its claws. Blood splattered as the front of Shintaro's shirt was slashed open. He staggered backwards, grunting in pain.
"Shintaro-kun!" Moka cried as she ran to help him.
"Moka-chan, stay back!" Shintaro shouted. The Wolf Freak blurred out of sight and Shintaro screamed as he was slashed again across the back, then the front, and along his arms and legs. There were bleeding cuts all over his body now, red blood soaking his clothes and more staining the floor around them.
"Shintaro-kun!" Moka cried as she watched him collapse to his knees.
"I...I won't...DIE HERE!" Shintaro exclaimed, "HENSHIN!" The Wolf Freak lunged at Shintaro but was blasted back by the light of Shintaro's transformation. Kai now stood, his injuries healed, as he was clad in his armor. "Alright, now see how you fight an opponent who can fight back!" Kai then blurred out of sight. Moka could only watch as the two blurs, one being the Wolf Freak and the other being Kai, clashed violently. While she couldn't see them clearly, she could hear the blows that connected. She also saw the light resulting from the clash as sparks flew from the two fighting. When the two stopped moving, she could see them grappling.
"Damn...you're one fast...dog, aren't you?" grunted Kai. The Wolf Freak's mouth opened and Kai was blasted with a sonic howl. It was painful and his scream reflected it, "AAAAHHHH!" He fell to his knees as a result of the attack, stunned, with ringing in his ears. The Wolf Freak then lifted Kai up and slashed him several times before kicking him through the air, sending him tumbling before he landed roughly on the ground.
"Kuso..." Kai gasped. He saw the Wolf Freak coming at him. "Stop!" He pointed his hand at the Wolf Freak to freeze him but his opponent moved out of the way. He was now above Kai and the Rider was smashed into the floor. "GAH!"
Moka could only watch, helpless, as Kai was being beaten within an inch of his life. "No..." She clenched her seal. If only she could remove it, her inner self could help. Why was she so weak? Why couldn't she help Shintaro? All of a sudden, knives made of ice flew past Moka and struck the Wolf Freak in the chest. He howled in pain. Then, all of a sudden, an entire bathtub was flung through the air, smashing into the Wolf Freak's face, knocking him away from Kai. Finally, Moka saw Kurumu, flying past her and picking Kai up before dragging him back a safe distance.
"Girls!?" Moka exclaimed as she turned to see Yukari and Mizore at the threshold of the roof entrance.
"I wanted to come to help Shintaro," said Kurumu as she gently laid Kai down.
"So did we," Mizore added with Yukari nodding.
"What is that? Another one of those freaky monsters?" Kurumu asked. "Did it do this to Shintaro?" Moka nodded.
"It's the secret admirer, isn't it?" Mizore asked. "Why do you have to cause so much trouble for Shintaro?" Mizore accused Moka, upsetting her.
"...Not her fault," said Kai as he forced himself to sit up. His body glowed as he reversed the damage done. "It's fine. I can still fight."
"But he's fast, way faster than you," said Yukari.
Kai ignored Yukari and stood up. "Doesn't mean I can't beat him." That was when the plates on his armor, the stone in his belt and his eyes glowed violet. "I'll just have to stop him from moving." They all watched, entranced, as his armor changed. His torso armor turned silver along with his gloves and boots. The bodysuit also changed, gaining star-like dots all over it.
He had activated Gravity Form.
Kai looked down at his silver-gloved hands and nodded, somehow knowing what this form could do. "This will work."
The Wolf Freak howled and lunged for them, but all of a sudden it could not move. It moved its legs to run, but could not touch the ground. It then realized that it had been lifted up into the air. It looked at Kai, a white aura surrounding the Rider's body. The Rider then raised his arm up and threw the Wolf Freak up in the air.
"Is that levitation?" Kurumu asked.
"No, he's controlling gravity," said Yukari.
"Is that even possible?" Mizore questioned.
Kai then threw his arm down and the Wolf Freak came crashing down, creating an imprint of itself in the floor. The Wolf Freak tried to resist the gravitational force pressing down on it, but Kai would not have that. He advanced on the Wolf Freak who was immobilized and incapacitated. Kai then raised his arm and the Wolf Freak was raised into the air before Kai smashed him to the floor once more. Kai released the Wolf Freak and the Wolf Freak lunged, but his movements were sluggish as Kai easily dodged him. Kai had actually increased the Wolf Freak's gravity, preventing his super speed.
Now was his chance. Kai then performed a barrage of punches that hit the Wolf Freak. The Wolf Freak was sent staggering back from the hits. It tried another sonic howl but Kai squeezed the Wolf Freak's mouth shut then performed a Judo throw that sent the Wolf Freak crashing violently with the gate.
"Now, Time's Up for you," Kai declared as the Wolf Freak recovered and lunged for him. The purple plates on Kai's armor, the eyes and the stone in his belt glowed brightly as he gathered the power gravitational forces into his right fist. "TAKE THIS!" He cried in his mind next, 'Graviton Fist!' Kai hit the Wolf Freak with a devastating punch of explosive force. The result: an explosion. Once the smoke cleared, the Wolf Freak was reverted back to his original form, naked. As for the Freak Chip, it disintegrated once the host was defeated.
"Yatta..." Kai took a deep breath as his armor vanished. He turned to look at the girls to smile at them before he collapsed from exhaustion.
It turned out that the guy who called himself Moka's secret admirer was a 2nd year student named Ginei Morioka, and the only surviving member of the Newspaper Club. He had a love of photography, but his subject matter was questionable. It was because Ginei kept his collection on him and the girls had found scattered on the rooftop pictures of Moka, which she had never given permission for anyone to take. They were pictures of her changing in the locker room, pictures of her stretching during PE, and pictures of her taken while she was just taking a walk.
He was starting to look like a creepy stalker. That was Mizore's observation, ironically.
Ginei was put in the campus hospital to recover, much like Wanibuchi and his gang along with the Swim Team. The Freak Chips had really done a number on them.
As for Shintaro, he was resting in the infirmary. Fortunately, his injuries had been healed when he used his powers to reverse his damage. Unfortunately, as a result, he had fallen unconscious due to fatigue. At the moment, he was just regaining consciousness and found himself in the infirmary. That was when Moka entered the infirmary to see that he had woken up.
"Moka-chan?" Shintaro questioned. She looked regretful and he knew why.
"Shintaro-kun, I'm sorry about what happened," she said.
"It's alright," he said, "Just be more careful about the letters you receive next time?"
"How are you feeling?" she asked.
"Drained, and curious," he said. "Did you remember what Shiroku called me?"
"He called you 'Kuro-no-Shinigami'."
"That's right, and the others have called me the same thing. I intend to find out why," he swore.
A/N: Well that's Chapter 4 of Kamen Rider Kai. This also debuts Kamen Rider Kai Gravity Form which has the ability to control gravity. While not a flashy transformation, this form gets the job done, subduing the Wolf Freak. Also, the mysterious Man in White formally introduces himself to the group and gives his name, Shiroku. He seems to know Shintaro since he calls him 'Kuro-no-Shinigami'. Who is Shiroku to Shintaro, who does he work for, and why doesn't Shintaro remember him? Topper must have the answer but isn't telling. Well, stay tune for what happens next.
