Hello there everyone out there. I'm here for another chapter of this story. In this chapter, Stag Crusher(Zero's Motorcycle) gets to transform into a robot mode. Zero also gets a new armor mode. I forgot to mention that in the earlier chapters. His modes are called Module's. In this story, Takahsi gets to use Lava Module. I'll describe it to you later on. So let's get this show on the road.
Disclaimer: Same Thing. (P.S. Mai Valentine joins the squad. I hope you are happy with this.)
Chapter 5 - A Scorching Battle!
We see Takashi in the lounge again, this time he was playing a game of Air Hockey with Haru. The score was 20-10 with Takashi in the lead. Haru needed just one goal to tri and beat Takashi. But, as the puck zoomed back and forth, Takashi went for someway to keep that from happening. So, Takashi used the hitter to hit the puck, and send it flying towards Haru's goal position. And the final score was 21-10. Takashi was the winner.
"Yes!" he said as he pumped his fist into the air on his victory.
"Man, Takashi. You beat me again." Haru complained.
"Hey, don't worry dude." Takashi reassured. "I'm sure you'll beat me someday."
"Yeah, who knows when THAT'll be." Haru said again.
"Well, you'll figure it out." Takashi said. "By the way, the commodore wants to see you."
Haru was a little disgruntled about this. "Okay, I'll see what he wants." he said as he walked into the commodore's office.
"You wanted to see me, sir?" asked Haru as the commodore turned his chair around.
"Yes, I did indeed Cadet Yamada." Brian stated. "I have an assignment for you to do."
Cadet Yamada was surprised to hear this news. "Really? Well, why is Suichi in here?" he asked.
"I think he is needed as well for this." Brian stated. "So, you two will be working together." he stated while the young men had a dumbfounded look on their faces.
"I need both of you to investigate something that happened outside the city."
"Okay, sir." Suichi agreed to it. "So, what's the situation?" he asked.
"There nave been a number of Mini-Earthquakes happening in that area." Brian informed. "I need you both to figure out what is happening there, and stop it."
"Yes, sir!" the both of them saluted and then walked out to accomplish their task.
(Answer by FLOW plays)
Instrumental intro: Showing the planet Earth with the sun coming over it. Then it turns to Takashi standing on a hill, looking over the city. Then the moon rises, and the logo for Kamen Rider Zero appears with a dingo head on the Zero name.
(Shisen hazusenzu Freezing are? Makafushigi!)
Now showing a scene where Takashi is running across a field of grass. When he suddenly spots a bunch of monsters in his direction.
(Subete misukasu you na!)
Now shows him looking at a picture of his father, Kotaro Minami as BLACK RX. Then it slides to the Krytarians in their ship; the Shadow Fortress. From right to left it shows their leaders, including their master, Count Marauderon.
(Krieigotowa bleeding shinjite believe me!)
The panel now shows the logo for the Z.E.R.O. Rescue Squad. We now see the scientist Prof. Nick Michaels and their leader Commodore Brian Robertson III inside Z.E.R.O. rescue squad HQ. Along with the other squad members including: Dr. Toshiro Hamaguchi, Cmdr. Kazuma Higurashi, Lt. Megumi Akistuki, Botan Minamoto, Suichi Minatmoto, Kouhei Minamoto, Sotarou Higurashi and Minato Sanada.
(Shinjitsu wa doko?)
The scene shifts back to Takashi up on the hill. He then hears a call for help.
(Shikakerata wana Hai no wandarrado Nukedasu sube mo shirazu ni.)
Takashi is now running to stop the Krytarians foot soldiers called the Skulloids. He points his arm at them with his hand in the form of a claw,and he does his dad's signature starting position and he shouts, "IT'S MORPHIN' TIME!"
(Sou aishiteru kara aishiteru nara kokoro misete)
He moves his arms in different ways, like diagonally, up and to the side. The Zero Spark appears around his waist, and the crystal starts to activate.
(Kowaresou na hodo suitemi de ai wo dakishimeru yo!)
Takashi goes through the metamorphosis that involves him doing a variety of movements. His armor comes out the way his father's did when he was Black Sun.
(Tatoe sore ga yumemaborshi demo kamawanai!)
He then has his helmet on his head, and a little gold 'Z' appears on the left side of his chest plating.
(Owarenai Kono mama Nee saigo wa kimi no)
He is then fighting them off one at a time. Now he's seen riding his motorcycle Stag Crusher, at night. He slides a card into the slot on his left gauntlet glove. And the Spark Slasher sword comes out. He slashes right through the blockade of Skulloids.
(Furueru honne wo ore ni sarashite kure!)
He does his Blazing Rider Kick with his left leg. And the monsters exploded.
(YEAH! Focus on x3 a naked balze FOCUS ON!)
Takashi is now seen on a rooftop overlooking the city of Spring Hills.
(End song)
Now we see Prof. Michaels walking around Domino City, looking for more talent for the squad. He sat inside a coffee shop, and waited for something or someone to catch his eye.
"This should be perfect enough to wait for someone to come." Nick said as he waited.
Just then, we see a young woman who looked to be in her early 20's walk into the place. She was a blonde haired woman who was wearing a bright shade of red lip-sitck and she was also wearing a purple skirt and jacket, she had long arm-wear and had violet high-heels, and her eyes matched her clothing. This was a lady that Joey Wheeler had a crush on; Mai Valentine.
"Oh, yes. Ms. Valentine, glad you could make it." Nick said greeting her. He shook her hand, being the gentleman he was.
"Thanks Nick." Mai replied. "So, what'd you call me here for?' she asked.
"Well, how would you like to join a team I am a part of?" Nick asked as he showed the lady his badge.
"Team?" Mai asked again.
"It's called the Zeta Eradication of Renegade aliens and Operational Rescue Squad." Nick stated to her. "Z.E.R.O. Rescue Squad for short. And we might need someone with your talents."
"Really? Well, how so?"
"Well, we need you to help us stop an evil alien named Count Marauderon from taking over the world." Nick informed the Harpy Duelist. "And I will make sure that you get paid for your work."
The sound of that idea made her happy to oblige for some reason. "Okay, I'm in." she accepted.
"Really?" Nick asked. He had no idea that she would accept the offer. Usually, she would turn it down and leave. Like she did with Jean-Claude Magnum when he asked her to marry him.
"Yes." she replied. "You see, my life has been turned around somewhat. One time, I was forced into a duel with Marik Ishtar and my soul was sent to the Shadow Realm. But, after he was defeated, I was saved by Yugi Moto and my other friends. And, another time I was brainwashed by a man that went by the name Dartz." she said as she told him what had happened to her in the past.
"Dartz?" Nick asked again.
"I'll tell you another time." she stated. And then, Nick handed her a badge and communicator. "Maybe I can save some lives. Think of it as a way of making up for the mistakes I made." she said as she took the badge and communicator. "Let me know when you need me. Kay?" she said again as she winked.
"Got it." Nick said. "Welcome aboard, Ms. Valentine."
"Thank you."said Mai as she then left the coffee shop and back to her apartment.
Meanwhile at the Shadow Fortress, Jorina was sitting on the throne instead of her husband. Marauderon had a cold, so she was subbing in for him.
"Of all the times for my husband to get sick, why did it have to be today?" Jorina asked herself in a grieving way.
"I'm not sure of it, m'lady." Zakron said like the honorable warrior he was. He was also kneeling to her. "I hope he recovers soon."
"As do I, Zakron." the countess replied to her swordsman. "Right now, we need to send a new monster down to Earth. One that can destroy Zero."
"Which one though?" the swordsman asked.
"My database indicate you should use the Malkentada." stated Findor as the little droid flew around. "It can dig underground and cause Earthquakes."
"Ah, yes. If we cause a big enough Earthquake, we can make a volcano erupt, and wipe the city of Spring Hills right off the map." Jorina laughed evilly. "And, Zero will be destroyed along with it!"
"Indeed, m'lady." Zakron said as he bowed again. "When shall it be launched?" he asked.
"Wait for the time to be right, Zakron." Jorina insisted. "First, we must see if there is a place we can send him to entrap Zero."
"Very well then." the swordsman said as he walked out of the throne room. "When and if I ever get my hands on Zero, he's dead." he said to himself as he walked around the hallways of the ship.
Now we turn our attention to a van, Suichi and Haru are driving over to site they were ordered to investigate. When they both got out of the van, then saw a hole in the ground. It looked like a car could fit through it, if it fell straight into it.
"Whoa! That's one big hole!" Haru said as he looked into it. "What do you suppose made it?" he asked Suichi.
"Beats me, Haru." he replied. "We'd better block off the road. We don't want anyone falling in there. Then we better solve this mystery!" he said quoting Scooby-Doo.
"Right. Better safe than sorry, as always." Haru agreed and they got some caution signs, and blocked off that part of the road. "We should also see if there are anymore holes like this one around the place."
"Good idea cadet." Suichi said as the both of them got back into the van, and drove off. Suichi decided to report this HQ a.s.a.p., so he got a CB radio and chimed in.
"Suichi here." he said calling Overlook Peak. "Me and Haru found a giant sinkhole outside of the city. We blocked it off. Can't have anyone falling into it. The earthquake made the hole."
Haru was next to speak into the radio, "The both of us are gonna see if there's anymore holes like that one."
"Okay, but be careful, okay guys?" asked Botan as she was the one to reply to them both.
"Don't worry sis. Me and Haru will be fine. As long as we keep our distance from the holes." Suichi said reassuringly.
"Okay guys, good luck." she said back to them.
"Thanks, Suichi and Haru out." he said using the right lingo for ending his findings. "Let's get a move on, Haru shall we?" he asked.
"Let's." Haru replied as they both floored it.
Little did they know, before they got there, a beam of light was shot down from the Shadow Fortress. Jorina had already sent a monster to do her bidding. It was sent inside of the hole made by the quake. This monster had the appearance of an anteater mixed with a shovel and a gun, the monster in question was the Malkentada. It started digging and digging until it would reach the lava flow.
"YES! YES!" it shouts. "Soon, that pathetic city will be wiped off the map forever!" he said as he kept digging around. "And, Zero's powers will be mine!" he laughed maniacally as he still dug around.
Now we see Takashi going for his afternoon run. This was a little bit of a daily routine for him. He was listening to the song called 'Spy In The House Of Love' by Was Not Was. A 1980's band that he heard about before. His dad told him of the group before. He then noticed the van that Haru and Suichi drove to where the assigned to go to. He wondered why they left some blockers on the road.
"Hey, that's the guys' van." he said to himself. "I wonder why they blocked off the road. Maybe there's something dangerous there. I'll give them their space."
He just kept on running and listening to his music. He even started singing to the song.
Unbeknownst to him, there was a shadow creeping up behind was another one of the Krytarian empire's minions, Eyskorn. "HEY, YOU THERE1" he shouted as he jumped out of his hiding spot and attempted to land on him. However he missed, when Takashi dodged out of the way, turned off his music and took a fighting position.
"Who are you!?" he asked the assassin as he wondered who he was.
"I'm Eyeskorn! The Krytarian empire's assassin." Eyeskorn replied.
"An assassin?" he asked shockingly.
"That's right. Now, is there something you would like to know?" the assassin wondered.
"Actually, yes." Takashi said as he asked, "What happened in that hole over there?!"
"Jorina sent another monster here." Eyeskorn replied again. "You've heard of Count Marauderon, right?"
"Yes." Takashi answered. "He was beaten once by Kazuya Oki/Kamen Rider Super-1."
"True." the assassin with one eye on his helmet said as he was. "Jorina is the count's wife. Their marriage was 2 of your earth-years ago."
"Well, tell your Countess...I'll be waiting for the day I fight her husband!"
"Very well, assuming that the count recovers from his cold!" Eyeskorn said as he accidentally tipped our hero off. "Until then, I bid you...TA DA!" he transported himself bakc to the Shadow Fortress.
"Huh. Well, looks like Zakron's not the only one I should look out for." Takashi said to himself. "Marauderon has a cold? How did that happen?" he asked himself as he kept running. "Eh. I'll figure it out eventually."
Back at Overlook Peak, we see Megumi in the lounge checking on Takashi's progress. He overheard Takashi's confrontation with Eyeskorn, and before that she saw him going for his afternoon run. Just then, Botan walked in and saw Megumi sitting on the couch looking at our hero.
"Megumi, what are you doing?" Botan asked. Megumi started to blush a very bright red.
"Um...Ah, I was just looking out for Takashi. That's all." she replied. "Besides, I gotta admit. He's so good looking. Even though he's 17 years old." she complemented as he was sitting to rest.
Back at where our hero was, he felt something strange. *AATCHOO!* he sneezed. "That's never happened before. What made me sneeze?" he wondered. "Maybe someone's thinking about me." he concluded. "I'll know when I see it myself."
In the lounge, the girls are a little surprised to see him sneeze where no one saw him.
"Was that the first time he sneezed?" asked Botan.
"Yes, I think so." replied Megumi as the both of them laughed about it.
At the Shadow Fortress, we see Eyeskorn return to the throne room. He wanted to speak with Jorina about what he had done.
"My countess, I have sent Zero a warning." the assassin said as he stands on his knee. "I had informed him about you, and he told me to tell you that he'll be waiting for the day when and if he faces the count."
Jorina turned around and was a little bit infuriated. "What!? You sent him a warning and he sent one back?!" she wondered. "Well, looks like I'll be waiting for that day as well."
"COUNTESS JORINA...COUNTESS JORINA, A note has arrived for you!" said Groknoid.
"A note, for me?" the countess wondered. "It says; I will be waiting for you to return to Krytaria soon, and I really need you both with me. Signed: High Guard Korok, Krytarian elite guard." The countess was estranged about this whole thing. "Why would Korok send us a note, when we just contacted him 3 weeks ago?" she asked herself.
"That will be all, Groknoid." Jorina said sending the jester away. "Go do your comedy acts, someplace."
"At once, your highness." he replied, running off in a goofy mood.
Jorina was stumped about why it was that Korok sent a note to the Shadow Fortress, when he has his own ship to use. 'I wonder why Korok sent a note instead of using the communicator. Maybe, his communicator was damaged.' she thought. "Findor!" she exclaimed.
"Yes, my countess?" asked the floating droid.
"I need you to find something to aid Malkentada with his plan." she ordered.
"Right away, your majesty." Findor replied. So it did as it was instructed to do. So the floating droid found something to aid the monster with it's endeavor.
"Ah, yes. This bomb should work. Just in case Malkentada should encounter Zero." Jorina said as she sent the deadly device over to the monster in the hole.
"A bomb?" wondered the monster as it stopped digging for a few minutes. "So, Jorina wants me to use this just in case Zero appears. Okay, my countess."
So the monster planted the bomb where he could see it. He was gonna threaten our hero with that device, and went back to digging.
Meanwhile, we see Haru and Suichi spotting something in front of their van. At first glance, they look like ordinary people. But a closer glance could tell that their really Skulloids.
"What are those people doing?" asked Haru looking at what was going on. Suichi stepped out of the van, and Haru followed him to figure this out.
"Hey, what's going on over here!?" Suichi asked as he yelled. Then those 'people' removed their cloaks and showed the Skulloid troops. Haru and Suichi had no idea that the Krytarian's were up to no good in this sector.
"W-W-W-W-What are those?" Haru asked Suichi.
"Skulloids." he replied. "They're the foot soldiers of the Krytarian empire. The weak, but cunning. It's not hard to knock them down. It's getting them to STAY down that's the trick."
"What should be done?" Haru asked yet again.
"Let's bash them up." Suichi stated getting ready to fight them. he had a grim look in his eyes. You see, he had been wronged by a bunch of punks when he was in middle school. At his school Halloween party, he was pranked really badly by a group of bullies who all dressed as skeletons. So, because of that, he had a sense of injustice in him. He charged right at the grunts in absolute fury, and he used various fighting styles on them. He always wanted to be like Bruce Lee when he was old enough. So, he used a fighting style similar to Bruce Lee's way.
"Suichi, remind me NEVER to make you mad." Haru said as he was fidgeting.
"Right!" he replied as the both of them bashed up the Skulloids, and then they retreated back to the Shadow Fortress in defeat.
"Well, looks like we scared them off." Suichi said.
"We sure did!" Haru added as they both shook hands about this. Then they went back into the van to contact Takashi.
They turned on the comm-device, and tried to reach our hero. "Takashi...Come in, Takashi Wakamaru. This is Suichi Minamoto calling Kamen Rider Zero. Do you read me?" he asked as he spoke into the communicator.
*BEEPBEEP BEEP!* Takashi then noticed his communicator beeping, and he answered it. "I read you, Suichi. What's going on?" our hero asked.
"We got trouble, dude." Suichi stated. "We ran into some Skulloids. And it looks like that the earthquake was caused by a Necrodon."
"What!?" Takashi exclaimed.
"Yeah, and what happened to you?" asked Haru.
"I ran into another Krytarian alien." the lunar cyborg replied to his friend. "His name is Eyeskorn. He's the assassin of their group. He told me that Marauderon has a wife named Countess Jorina. I'll tell you about this later if later even occurs."
"Okay, good luck in tracking down the monster." Suichi said as he signed out.
"We'll return to base and report of the situation." Haru replied.
"Okay, see ya." Takashi said as he signed out of communication. 'Jorina, whatever you're up to, it will not work.' he thought to himself.
Next we see Nick working on Stag Crusher. He had been working on a way to make Stag Crusher into a robot so he could help him fight the Necrodons on an equal level. Stag had been feeling a little down knowing that he could not be anything more than a motorcycle. So Nick decided to fix that, by making him upgraded.
"Okay, one more adjustment and it'll be ready to go." Nick said as he was almost finished with the final part of the adjustment. "Hey, Sotarou. Could you please pass me the transformation cog?" he asked the son of the commander.
"Sure thing, professor." said Sotarou as he passed it to the scientist. He had to install it very carefully. If it were put in wrong, the project would be a bust.
"There, that should do it." Nick said as he was done. "Stag, you should be all set. Good luck."
"Thanks, Nick." the motorcycle said as he was off to help our hero. The bike rode off to the spot where Takashi was, then Nick and Sotarou went back to the main hold of the mountain.
"Everyone, I have big news!" Nick said as everyone turned their heads. "I have successfully made some adjustments to Stag Crusher." Everyone as stunned to hear about this thing.
"What sort of adjustments?" asked Minato.
"I gave Stag the ability to switch from motorcycle to robot mode!" he said with excitement. Everyone was mouthing agape, and then they all were amazed to hear this news.
"WOW!" exclaimed Kouhei.
"So, Stag is like a Transformer now?" asked Botan.
"Yes, he is." Nick confirmed. "Only, he's at human height instead of those robots from the Transformers series."
"That should work in battle." Kazuma said as he was.
"Yeah, it will." Sotarou said. "I just hope that he arrives to Takashi's location in time."
"Yeah, same here." Megumi said as deep in her heart she was feeling worried about Takashi.
Now, we see Stag coming up to Takashi, who has been staying in the spot where Suichi and Haru said the monster would be at.
"Hey, Takashi." Stag said as he stopped moving.
"Hey Stag." he said back to his bike. "I think the monster is down there. I gotta find it."
"Be careful, dude." the bike said as he wished our hero good luck in his own way.
"Thanks, Stag. I will." he said as took the starting position his dad used during his battles with Crisis, and then a belt appeared around his waist and is said in an electronic voice, "HENSHIN" and then he put his arms in a zigzag format, forming a 'Z'. He then put his left arm to the side of his head, and shouted the code word.
"IT'S MORPHIN' TIME!"
And then, put is left fist, into his right hand, and began doing various arm movements, in all directions. And he stopped doing the movements, and ended in a position that was mirrored from the position his dad used during his war with the Gorgam. Next, there was this flash of light that was multi-colored. And, suddenly the armor came on in the formation of his dad's 3rd form RX Bio Rider, only with Dingo ear's on the top of the helmet, and fangs on the mouth piece. His shoulder pads were white, and there was a little gold colored 'Z' on the left side of his chest plating, and his knees, wrist's, ankle's and elbow's were red while the rest of his armor was blue. He also had antenna's on his forehead, and a golden yellow, crystal with a little green light at the bottom of the antenna's.
Then he jumps down the hole, and spotted the monster in question digging around. "Hey you! Hold it right there!"
Malkentada paused himself and spotted the one who yelled to him. "W-W-W-WHAT THE WHAT!? Who are you!?" he exclaimed.
"Your worst nightmare, dirt bag." he said violently. He posed in front of the monster, as light waves generated from him. And then he did another one "Ore wa tsuki no ko. Kamen Rider...Zero!" Takashi said to the beast. "FEAR. THE. DINGO. AAAAAAAAARRRRRRRRRRRROOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!" He howled in full fury.
"So, your the one I've been waiting for." Malkentada said as he was.
"You were expecting me?" he asked. "Why is that? And who are you?" he asked again.
"I am the Malkentada, and I'm here to steal your powers!" the monster boasted as he laughed again. Zero was shocked to hear that there was a monster that was trying to steal his powers.
"WHAT!?" Zero said. "I'm not gonna let you do that, you vile beast!" he said as he started fighting him. He punched him in the jaw-like head. Then it plunked on it's anteater-like nose. He yanked it and made the monster feel in pain.
"Ouch!" the monster exclaimed. "I'm gonna make you suffer for that!" Malkentada said as he charged right at our hero, thus knocking him down.
"Ugh!." Zero said as he was scratched in the armor. "Man, that was really tough."
"If you think that was tough, wait till you see what I have in store for this city." he revealed the device he was given by Jorina.
"Huh?" our hero was in shock about it. "A BOMB!" Zero exclaimed again. "What are you planning, Malkentada?"
"I plan to wipe this city off the map, by making a volcano erupting!" he said as he threatened. "And after I'm done with that, I'll steal your powers. Then I'll eat them!" he said as he was feeling voracious.
'This monster must be working against Marauderon. Damn, what should I do? I can't let that bomb go off.' Zero said as he was thinking. 'If I don't take this guy down, everyone will be wiped off the map by that volcano. Man, no wonder he picked this spot. It's getting hot in here!'
Takashi's dream world!
Takashi has now arrived in some sort of dream-like world. This was sort of like his imagination, only bigger.
"Huh?" he wondered "Where am I? Am I dead?"
"No, you're not dead." said a mysterious figure coming at him by walking towards him. He looked like a mix up of Asuka from Bakuryuu Sentai Abaranger and Yusuke Amamiya from Chojyuu Sentai Liveman.
"W-w-w-who are you?" Takashia asked as he was a little skeptical about there being someone he did not know.
"I am the original Kamen Rider Zero. The old user of the Lunar Crystal inside your belt. My name is Tsukigane." the stranger said as he introduced himself.
"Tsukigane?" Takashi asked. "I'm Takashi Wakamaru. The son of Kotaro Minami." he said as he also introduced himself to his predecessor.
The original Zero gasped as he heard of that name. *GASP!* "You're the son of BLACK RX?" he wondered.
"Yes."
"Well, Takashi. I'm here to help you defeat this monster." Tsukigane said as he was. "When I used that crystal to battle evil, I did not use the power of the moon alone. I also used the other elements as well." The former Zero showed Takashi a picture of the other armor suits he had in the past. "Right now, you must use the one that can survive elevated temperatures. You must use the Lava Module. And, it seems my spirit contacted Prof. Michaels, and informed him about it as well."
"You met Nick before?" our hero asked.
"Yes, and I allowed him to make my old weapons into cards." Tsukigane continued with his explanation. "I suggest using this card." He showed Takashi the cards needed for beating down the Malkentada. One of the cards had the picture of a cannon on it. This was the Lava Cannon. And the other card had a picture of Zero in a red, orange and yellow version of his armor. This was the Lava Module.
"I will use this to defeat the Malkentada, and hopefully stop that bomb from exploding." our hero said as he took up Tsukigane's offer.
"Good luck, Takashi Wakamaru/Kamen Rider Zero." Tsukigane said as he saluted our hero.
End of Dream world sequence!
Malkentada was still digging farther into the lava flow, trying to get the volcano to erupt. But, when Zero got back up, he got out the card from his dream world. It became real right in front of our hero.
"Okay, Malkentada." Zero said behind him. "YOU'RE GOING DOWN!" he exclaimed as he held the card in his hand and then said, "LAVA MODULE...ACTIVATE!"
He slid the card across the scanner on his belt, and it said, "LA-VA-MODULE-AC-TI-VATION-GO!" And then, or hero felt some sort of power flowing through him. It was like the lava was melting his armor, but instead it was the opposite. It was making a new armor for him. The armor looked similar to his basic armor(Lunar Module), only the optics were teal blue. The body looked red and blue with a little blue 'Z' with a gold number 2 on it. His shoulders along with his thighs and calves were orange. His forearms were also red, with golden bands around them. The gem on his forehead was changed as well. His mouthpiece was still silver. His antennae were a little thicker now. Part of his biceps along with his knees, elbows and ankles were yellow. The belt also changed too. It had a goldish-yellowish color around it. And it had a little bit of red, blue, green, yellow and orange inside it.
"I am the fighter of the inferno. Zero...Lava Module!" he said as he did more movements.
"What!?" Malkentada said as he saw his opponent in his new armor. "How did you get this mode for your armor!?" he wondered.
(BGM: Silent Shout by TETRA FANG)
"It's something you'll never understand." Zero said grimly as he charged at him feeling burned up. "I. Will. Not. Let. You. Destroy the city I swore to protect!" he said as he kept punching and kicking at the monster.
"Whoa! That much power is too hard to comprehend." Malkedntada said as he panicked. "I'm outta here!" he jumped out of the hole, and got away for our hero.
"Dammit, he got away." he said to himself. "I gotta defuse the bomb, but what about the monster?" he wondered. "I got it. Stag, the Malkentada's escaping! You have to intercept it, and hold him off until I get there." he instructed to his bike as he used the communicator while in the armor. Then he went and pressed something on the bomb. "Sure hope it's the the right button."
"Got it, boss." Stag replied as he was still standing there. "I'll get him."
Malkentada had come out of the hole and went off to find a new hiding spot. "Gotta look. Gotta look." he repeated as he ran. Stag revved up and went to follow the monster where he went.
"Okay, he's heading for that abandoned house over there." Stag said as he reported the situation to Zero.
"On my way!" he said as he jumped out of the hole and ran over to the spot. Just then, his ear-com came on. It was Nick contacting him.
"Takashi, I'm calling to inform you that Stag Crusher now has a transformation cog." Nick informed the cyborg. "All you have to do is say 'Stag Crusher, Switch To Robot Mode, Now!', and he'll transform. I made some adjustments to him while you were on your mission. Go for it."
"Got it, Nick." Zero said as he went over to his bike. "Okay, I got Nick's message Stag."
"Good, the monster went in there." Stag said as he pointed to the abandoned house.
"Well, we're gonna have to lure him out. I got an idea." Zero stated as he was about to say the following command. "Stag Crusher, switch to Robot Mode, Now!" he called.
"TRANSFORM!" said the bike as it went through a transformation. It did what CheedaNick of the Go-Busters did as well as AutoVajin(Faiz's motorcycle) did. It also made that robotic pulsing noise that the Autobots and Decepticons used when they went from vehicle to robot.
"WOW! Awesome!" Zero said as he was in awe at the new robot version of his bike.
"Now this is more like it." Stag said as he looked at himself. "Okay, let's get that monster outta here." he said again as he used his scanner to locate the creature, and oddly enough. It was in the basement of the house. Stag made a hole in the floor, and dragged Malkentada out of the house and threw him across the way.
"Okay, now to finish the job." Zero said as he got out the other card which he saw in his dream world. "LAVA CANNON!" he shouted.
"LA-VA-CAN-NON-UP-AND-ON!" said the computer on the belt. And then the cannon appeared right in Zero's arms. It looked like something out of a Power Rangers show he saw before.
"Uh,oh." Malkentada said as he was panicking.
"Now for my finisher." he said as he charged up the cannon to shoot his opponent down. "VOLCANIC RIDER BLAST!...FIRE!" Zero pulled the trigger and blasted Malkentada to pieces. He posed with his new armor ans said, "Malkentada...Your time is up."
(End song)
Back at the Shadow Fortress, Jorina was a little upset about the outcome of this battle.
"Ugh. He did it again!" she shouted. "And he stopped the bomb. I can't believe that the plan did not work."
Then, Zakron started to speak and he said, "And who is this robot that aided Zero? Is he an ally? Is he an enemy?" he asked to the countess.
"I don't know, and I don't care." Jorina replied. "Findor, what is the status of my husband? I really want to stop subbing for him."
"He will be better in just 3 earth hours." Findor replied to Jorina.
"Okay, well that's good to know." Jorina said as she relieved herself. She then ordered one of the Skulloids to make sure that all of the stuff in Jorina and Marauderon's room was disinfected.
At Overlook Peak, we see Takashi in the main hold along with the other squad members. He just finished telling them about the way he unlocked his new armor. He told them that he was visited by the original Kamen Rider Zero; Tsukigane.
"Then, Tsukigane handed me the cards, and I unlocked the new Module." Takashi said as he finished.
The others were intrigued to hear that Takashi had a predecessor. Then, Nick stood up and said, "I'm glad he was there to help you when he had the chance."
"Same here." Takashi said as he sat back down.
"You were excellent using the Lava Module on Malkentada." Brian said as he commended our hero on a job well done. "And, Haru, Suichi. You did good out there too. You guys are quite a team."
"Thank you, sir!" they said in unison and saluted him.
"You're welcome gentlemen." Brian saluted back to them.
Now, Nick had something to say again. "Also, before all this today. I found us a new member. Allow me to bring her in." he said as the door opened. The whole squad hear the sound of clicking coming form the hallway. They were all waiting for the new member to come in, and then. 'She' came into the room. 'She' was wearing a custom made Z.E.R.O. Rescue Squad uniform. And she was also the same blonde that nick met at the cafe' earlier today. Everyone collectively gasped in surprise as they saw...
"M-M-M-M-M-M-MAI VALENTINE!?" Takashi stuttered and shouted in shock.
"Isn't she the Pro-Duelist form Las Vegas?" asked Suichi.
"What's she doing here?" asked Kouhei.
"Is she the new member?!" asked Sotarou.
"Yes, she is." Nick said as he explained. "I recruited her earlier today. And oddly enough, she decided to join our squad as a spy for us."
"SHE'S OUR SPY!?" Takashi exclaimed.
"Yep." Mai said as she was ready to join the group. "And, Takashi. Nice to meet you." she said as she went up to Takashi, and shook his hand.
"Likewise." Takashi said. He got done shaking the Harpy duelists hand.
"So, Suichi. I hear you also work for Kaiba, right?" she said as she used her seduction act on him. However, he was used to women who dressed like Mai did. So it didn't effect him much at all.
"Yes. I do indeed." Suichi said back to her. "Why do you ask?"
"Well, I went into a project he was working on, once." said Mai. "I was being a beta tester for a virtual reality gig he was putting together. I'll tell you about it another day, alright?"
"Sure."
Later that night, Takashi was exhausted form all that running. He got out of the showers, and went to bed. He was gonna fall asleep, but then Megumi walked in and she was him with his shirt off a second time. She saw him without it before after Takashi recovered from his surgery. Takashi was blushing at the sight of her looking at him again.
"M-M-M-Megumi. You startled me!" Takashi exclaimed.
"Sorry about that." she said to him. "I just can't believe that Mai Valentine is a member of the squad."
"I can't believe it either." said Takashi as he got a shirt on. "I was surprised just like you were."
"Really?" Megumi wondered.
"Yeah." he replied. "Maybe I should tell her how much Joey Wheeler loves her."
Megumi did not know about Joey having a thing for the new member. "What? Joey Wheeler has a thing for Mai?" she asked. "When did this happen?"
"I think during Duelist Kingdom. That's a Duel Monsters tournament. Joey fell head over heels for her when they were on the boat there."
"That long huh? Well, I think you should set them up with each other."
"But how can I do that?" asked Takashi.
"You'll figure it out someday, Takashi." Megumi said reassuringly.
"Thanks for the advice, Megumi."
"No problem, Takashi." she said back to him letting him go to bed.
To Be Continued...
(Quiet Cool by Joe Lamont plays) The scene is just Zero riding Stag Crusher on the road, on a cloudy day.
(Instrumental intro)
(I can't hold her, I can't touch her face anymore.)
(It's all over, so what am I trying for?)
(So hard, to try to make sense of it all.)
(They took it too far. They fell in too deep. Too scared to surrender.)
(With the sound of a gun, It was over and done.)
(They took my love away!)
(I'm on a mission. I'm gonna be nobody's fool.)
(They're gonna face Quiet Cool.)
(The one condition, to do what I've gotta do.)
(Quiiiiet Coooool!)
(End of song)
Hey fans, next time on Kamen Rider Zero.
Takashi needs some advice.
Takashi: I really love Megumi. But I don't know how to tell her.
And yet another Necrodon is terrorizing the city.
Marauderon: Soon, Cobraken will infect the whole city!
Zero also gets another armor suit, just as Megumi is infected by some sort of toxin.
Takashi/Zero: With the Oceanic power of Ocean Module, I will be able to save the woman I love!
Can he stop this sinister snake?
Find out next time, on Kamen Rider Zero! Chapter 6 - Megumi In Danger!
Takashi: Spark up your life, and turn it into an adventure!
(A/N: Sorry I took so long with this. I had to make some other fanfictions as well.)
Well I hope you enjoyed this just like I did. I hope to continue this sometime in the future.
And also, here's the description of Takashi's new form. I will be giving him new forms here and there. As well as new weapons.
Kamen Rider Zero: Lava Module.
Armor Color(s): Red, Blue, Orange, Gold, Yellow.
Optic's color: Teal blue.
Weapon: Lava Cannon. The Lava Cannon can be used only in Lava Module. It is a high powered cannon-like blaster that uses the element of Fire. When Zero uses this weapon, he can use the Volcanic Rider Blast. It looks like a whole bunch of lava-like energy.
Also, I came up with Tsukigane as part of this story, and many more chapters to come.
Please read, review, and follow.
Until we meet again, see ya!
