[Super Hero Time]
Nolan: Hey long time no see readers, well I'll cover for the rookies for now. There's not much to say about this but to enjoy, because we sure will. These Two chapter will focus on Josh, and his struggle to make a decision, similar to Amy's decision. But in Josh's case, it's different. I won't tell you so go read for yourself. Cya Then.
So, You want to Join SADE, after: interfering with a Dreamon attack resigning on a mission and stealing Police property. After all of that, you expect me to allow you to join my organization?" Rodriguez questioned, frightening Amy a bit. Amy was about to say no, but she swallowed her fear and spoke: "No, I don't expect you take me back, but I'm apologizing for my behavior these last two weeks, and I also want to apologize to Yuliya, Josh and Will for trying to help me. So, if that's it, I'll leave Tira here and I'll be on my way."
"Well, I'll tell you this, you can't join again."
"I understand."
"You never left the system in the first place."
"What?"
"I knew you'd come back, so I never took you out of our records; as far as I'm concerned, you were just sick for two weeks. So, Welcome back. You have homework to make up."
"I do? No fair!" She wined.
Yuliya walked into the office and smiled, seeing Amy standing there. "I knew you'd come back."
Amy smiled. "Glad to be back."
"Glad to have you back, now then, you have homework, In Jessie's class."
"What's it about?"
"Well from what she told me, it's a term project; Come up with Ten Rules that Define a Hero. You need two partners and it's due in a few months."
"Well, Does Josh and Will have partners?"
"Not that I know of."
"Great well that takes care of one. Now the next problem, what can I start out with?"
"How about this one: Save someone in anyway possible, and to try not to think of the consequences; that will just make you unsure of what you're doing."
"You told me that; can I use it please?"
"Of course, just don't use the first Ten; those are the CLAWs Rules. The FANGs need to come up with their own."
"Great, Rule #11: Save someone in anyway possible, and to try not to think of the consequences." She recited copying it into her book.
"Rule #11? Aren't you supposed to start at one?"
"Yeah, I decided to start at 11 and go to 20; you know, to continue our legacy."
Yuliya smiled. "Sure thing, go ahead."
Rodriguez couldn't help but smile. "It's those kids all over again. Boy, this'll be a fun year."
Chapter 7: Sweet Dream
Early the next morning, Josh walks into the training room at SADE to find Nolan Waiting, sipping the coffee that he got from the neighboring deli.
"Morning, Josh." Kaiger greeted. Nolan looked up and waved at Josh.
"Good morning. Um, is there any reason why I'm here so early?"
"Yeah, didn't you get my text? You start training this morning." Nolan replied, finishing the coffee. He got up and threw it in the trash and proceeded to make his way towards Josh.
"Yeah I did, but this early? You know I got school right?"
"Yes, but I wanted to get you started now that way you can get an idea on what you need to work on. It's a quarter to six now, we'll be done by Seven, just enough time to get the train and the boat back to Staten Island for School."
"Okay then. But what kind of training am I supposed to be doing?"
"You'll see, just get Sobek out and transform."
Sobek crawled out of Josh's bag and crawled up his shoulder. "You ready Josh?"
"Yeah, let's get to it." Josh slid the hammer and Sobek bit onto the brace.
"HENSHIN!" Josh called out.
TITAN MODE! The transformation then commenced as Josh transformed into Kamen Rider FANG Titan Mode. The bulky armored Rider adjusted to the sudden weight change as he stared at his teacher.
"Okay so now what?"
"Hold on, just give me a sec to get ready." Nolan replied pulling out both his Shuriken key and Speed Claw.
"What's that Blue Claw in your hand?"
"This is the Speed Claw, remember the time I stopped the fight between You three and James and his gang?"
Josh took a minute to replay that image.
FLASHBACK
"Kaiger, come on!" Nolan said, pulling out the shuriken.
"On it." He said, grabbing it and landing on his brace.
Nolan raced towards the group, sliding Kaiger onto his belt, calling out "HENSHIN!" as Shinobi mode and Speed Form took effect.
"Turbo Shot!" Nolan called out, pulling the booster on his arm.
The area around him slowed down, as he ran up and broke up the fight, dropping everyone onto the floor with ease.
"Turbo Shot Over!" The brace announced as everyone struggled to get up.
"What was that blue blur just now?" Miranda asked, deactivating her Rider Form. The other five did the same as they looked to see Shinobi Mode: Speed Form, stand before them.
"One of you..." The Rider, canceled it's transformation revealing to be Nolan.
"Explain to me what's going on."
END FLASHBACK
"I remember that form, you were moving so fast that we didn't see you come... This is speed training isn't it?"
"See now, this is why I chose you to train personally from the other two, you know what's going to happen. Yeah, this is the Speed Training, Let's get started then, because the clock is starting to go down. HENSHIN!"
"SHINOBI MODE!" Kaiger announced as he leapt into the air to catch the shuriken. Nolan slid the Speed Claw on as Kaiger was docked onto the belt. Speed Form then encased it's Cyan-blue armor on Nolan over Shinobi Mode's armor.
"For now, We're not going to work on your overall speed. When it comes to Speed, it's no so much moving fast, but rather;" Nolan pulled on a booster as Turbo Shot was announced from the system. Nolan took a step to his left and disappeared.
Josh looked around as he heard Turbo Shot Over be announced. He then felt the cold blade of Nolan's katana tap his armor behind him.
"Rather it's the reflexes of the user. Remember, no matter how fast you are, there will always be someone faster. Your reflexes will save you, granted that they're trained well. Okay, now I want you to practice predicting what direction I will be once my Turbo Shot ends." Nolan retracts his blade but holds on to it before it goes all the way in the sheath.
"Ready...Go!" Nolan thrust the blade into the sheath to signal the beginning of the training as the clash was followed by his Turbo shot going off.
After Josh's training, He headed for school, sore from trying to move faster in such heavy armor. As he left the ferry boat, he walked into the lobby and up the stairs to the bus stop. Will and Amy were getting off the bus when they caught sight of Josh.
"Good Morning." Amy smiled.
"Hi-ow." Josh replied, clutching his arm.
"You okay, its looks like a cat attacked you." Will replied.
"Yeah, spent valuable sleeping time, playing cat and mouse with Nolan at SADE."
"Ah, we see."
"At least I was able to sleep for a bit on the ferry."
"Well, Mr. Coppi's class is boring as sin, so maybe you can catch a few in his class." Will suggested as he walked with the two following him.
"I hope so." Josh yawned.
Sobek suddenly appeared on Josh's shoulder and growled. "I smell a few Dreamon nearby."
"Are you kidding? I'm freaking tired!" Josh complained.
They suddenly heard growls in front of them as three Wild Cat Dreamon ran up to them.
"We'll take care of them, just sit there for a minute, OK?" Amy asked Josh.
"I call the first two." Will said as he began to run. He suddenly stopped short as a teenager suddenly shot past him and spin kicked one of them. As she dropped, she landed and sweep kicked the second one, then followed by an uppercut to the third. Other than her, no one knew what happened.
The girl stood up, breathing heavily a bit. She had brunette hair wearing a dark blue shirt with a black blazer. She had black jeans and dress shoes along with her emerald-lenses sunglasses on her face.
"What is she doing?" Tira said.
"Get out of there, you have no idea what your getting yourself into!" Amy shouted at her.
The girl turned and smirked. "Don't worry, I have everything under control, just get out of here while you still can."
She turned back to the three and reached for her pistol on her back pocket. She ejected the empty cartridge on it and reloaded it. She aimed at the three and gave them three shots a piece. The bullets all made contact and each fell and died, returning then to their human forms.
"Well, that was simple." She sighed, putting her pistol back and removing her glasses revealing her emerald green eyes.
"Who are you?" Amy asked her, the three running up to her.
"Oh, no one, just passing though is all. Are you three okay?"
"Yeah of course we are we didn't get to do anything!" Will replied. Josh grabbed Will from behind and pulled him back.
"Sorry, he has a short temper." Josh apologized.
"It's okay, as long as you guys aren't hurt. Well, guess I'll catch ya later. Ciao."
The girl leaves the three as Josh lets go Will.
"Dude, what's your deal?"
"Dude, she's hot!" Josh replied.
"What's your point?"
"No no, this is the part where you're supposed to agree with me."
"Dude, she took out three Dreamon without trying... But yeah, she was pretty hot."
"I can't believe you two." Amy sighed. She walked away from the two with Will and Josh following after her.
Later at school, Josh walked to his third period class: World History. As he entered the room, he spots Mr. Cohen talking to the very girl the trio met earlier.
"Seriously, what's with this? It's like we get a new student every week."
"Well, it's still early in the year; there have been a lot of program changes." Sobek replied.
"Yeah I guess; well on the bright side, she's hot."
Josh walked to his seat and the girl took a seat behind him. As Mr. Cohen started class, the girl tosses a note to him, which landed on his notebook.
Josh turned behind him, but noticed her writing her notes from the board. He turns back and opens the note.
"I know who you are: Joshua Garret, Also known as: Kamen Rider FANG: Titan Mode."
Josh put the note down and turned behind him. The girl looked up and she let out a small smile. "Is there something wrong?"
Josh fumbled with his words. "Oh nothing, just that... Thanks for this morning."
"Oh it's okay, but can you keep it a secret? I hate for people to find out what I do outside of school, you know, the monster hunting thing."
"Yeah, I got it. My name's Josh; what's yours?"
"Sarah. Sarah Martin. It's nice to meet you."
"Likewise,"
"Hey, what do you have after this class?"
"I have: GYM, then English, and lunch."
"So you have lunch 6th period?"
"Yeah,"
"Great, do you mind...?"
"Um… sure?"
"I mean, do you mind having lunch with me, I'm new and I want to make some friends; plus I figure I'd start with someone who looks Sweet."
Josh turn red fast. He calmed down and gave her an answer. "In that case, I wouldn't mind at all."
"Great, so 6th period then?"
"6th period."
"Excuse me Mr. Garret, can you answer how many amendments there are all together?" Mr. Cohen called out.
Josh got nervous and said a random number.
"Maybe you should pay attention on my lesson and less time on trying to get the new girl's Aim."
"Sorry sir."
Sarah giggled a bit, and resumed copying her notes.
Later at SADE, Nolan and Tim hung out in the CLAW's Recreation room, with Nolan and Tim playing the New Naruto fighting game that came out.
Josh suddenly bursted into the room, out of breath. "Nolan, I need your help."
The sudden action made Nolan press a wrong button and giving Tim the opportunity to use his character's ultimate move, beating Nolan. Nolan was about to throw his Xbox controller onto the ground but stopped himself.
"What's up Josh?"
"I got girl problems."
"And you're asking Nolan why?" Tim asked.
"Because I figured he would have an answer."
"What makes you think I have an answer for girl problems? I don't have a girlfriend."
"What about Jessie?"
"She doesn't count."
"Since when, that picture of you two kissing was on the Front page NY times last year."
"That doesn't count I said!" Nolan replied getting annoyed.
"Besides what did Amy do this time?" Tim asked.
"It's not Amy; it's a new girl, someone we met this morning."
"Okay what else?"
"She took out three Dreamon with nothing but her fists and a pistol."
"Okay, that's interesting. It just so happens that there was an Agent that came from Europe last night for an exchange thing. What's her name?"
"Sarah Martin."
"Bingo! That's her." Tim replied
"Really!"
"Why would I lie?"
"I can think of a few reasons…" Nolan replied.
"Why would I lie to anyone but Nolan?" Tim rephrased
"No reason I guess."
"Listen dude, just ask her out. If it works, great, if not, you tried. It's that simple."
"OK, if you say so." Josh thanks them and leaves the room. Kaiger walked over and looked at Nolan. "Pretty sure he has a better chance with asking a girl out more than you kid."
"No one asked you."
A week passed and Josh used the advice that he received. Sarah accepted his proposal and the two started to date happily.
Amy, Will and Marissa walked through the hallways at school heading to lunch. There they see Josh and Sarah holding hands as they walked.
"Aww, they're so cute together." Marissa smiled.
"Yeah, who would've thought it?" Will replied.
"Well I don't seem to trust her." Amy replied.
"Why not, like Josh said, she's hot!" Will said.
"It's just that though, She looks like one of those pretty girls that like to use people, it just looks too good to be true."
"I sense something…" Marissa smirked slyly.
"What?"
"You're jealous." Will added.
"I'm not." She replied.
"Yes."
"No!"
"Heck yes."
"Hell No!"
"OK, keep denying it." Marissa laughed as she walked towards the room.
"You really do like him, right?"
"Nope, I'm just concerned for my bro."
"So, if I was in the same situation, would you do the same?"
"No, because you're a big boy, you can take care of yourself."
"See I knew it!"
"Believe whatever you want." Amy then went to join Marissa. Will laughed and followed.
Later at SADE, Amy sits on the couch in the FANG's Rec Room while Will hangs out in the CLAW's Room and Josh spends time with Sarah, Drawing a picture of the Trio in their Rider forms; at the same time, she ponders who Sarah is after, when Jessie walks into the room.
"Hey can I come in?"
"Yeah sure; what's up?"
"Oh nothing, just passing by, just checking if your OK. I had a feeling you still weren't over Taylor's death."
"Oh I'm fine, don't worry. It's all behind me."
"Great, that's great…" Listen, have you had any nightmares recently?"
"Like how so?"
"Like from the fight… Was there someone there, like a shadow figure?"
Amy grew silent. "Yeah… How did you…"
"Jezebel was uneasy for a while after that, she told me for you to be careful. But don't worry; it shouldn't be too much trouble."
"It"
"Yeah, the situation, It shouldn't affect your performance in any sort of way."
The alarm goes off alerting the riders to move out."
"I got to go;"
"No that's OK, as long as you're feeling fine." Jessie turned and walked out the room.
"That was weird…" Amy told herself. "At any rate, Tira lets go!"
Tira roared and leaped onto Amy's shoulder. "Let's go!"
Amy bolted out the room, Jessie hiding next to the door.
"So, she has been possessed." Jezebel stated in Jessie's mind.
"But when will it set off?"
"Don't know; Dormant Dreamon set off randomly, but hopefully, it won't show up."
Amy ran into the garage, meeting Josh and Will there already.
"Ready?" Will asked, putting his helmet on."
"Where's Sarah?"
"She's with the Colonel, these are two D-Brids; her training doesn't cross this situation." Josh replied, revving the engine.
Josh sped off followed by Amy and Will.
At the area, Ken waited, spinning his basketball, while the D-Brid next to him, the Jaguar D-Brid smelled the air sensing the trio coming.
"Okay, it's time." Ken threw his basketball into the air and transformed into the Cheetah D-Brid.
The three pulled up and stared down the D-Brids.
"Okay, I got the Cheetah, make that speed training be put into use." Josh said.
"Them we got the Jaguar. Let's go Shak." Will said sliding the sword key into his brace.
"Got it." The shark replied, biting the brace.
The other two followed suit and their respected FANG Beast did the same.
"HENSHIN!" The three called out as the armor covered them.
ARCHER MODE, TITAN MODE, SWORDSMAN MODE! The trio left their bikes and drew their weapons to confront the beasts in front of them.
Will drew his blades and spun into the air to slash the Jaguar. Amy jumped high enough to let lose an array of arrows on it. The D-Brid shook it off and laughed in a feminine tone. "Honestly you have to do better than that."
The Jaguar D-Brid ran and jumped kicked Amy back and when she landed, she ducked Will's swords and slashed his chest upward, sending him flying back as well.
Will got up and cracked his neck. "Okay then, I'll just have to revert to this then; whenever you're ready Amy."
Meanwhile with Josh, The Cheetah D-Brid skidded all around Josh as he hit the ground with his hammer, each time missing.
"Okay, well this is what I wanted. Now, how am I going to catch him?"
FLASH BACK
"For now, we're not going to work on your overall speed. When it comes to Speed, it's no so much moving fast, but rather;" Nolan pulled on a booster as Turbo Shot was announced from the system. Nolan took a step to his left and disappeared.
Josh looked around as he heard Turbo Shot Over be announced. He then felt the cold blade of Nolan's katana tap his armor behind him.
"Rather it's the reflexes of the user. Remember, no matter how fast you are, there will always be someone faster. Your reflexes will save you, granted that they're trained well.
END FLASHBACK
"I got it. Since he's faster than I am, instead of attacking him…"
Josh stands still and rests his hammer on his shoulder. When he feels the wind of the D-Brids' swipe, he pushed the hammer towards his back and stopped the attack before it reached, which three the D-Brid off.
"What the…?"
"Hi there." Josh said without turning his back.
"Bet you can't do it twice."
So, Josh did it again, and again, and once again. Another thing that Nolan liked about Josh was that he was a fast learner.
"Well, that's an interesting ability you have."
"FINAL SLASH ATTACK!"
Josh and the Cheetah D-Brid turn their attention to the others as Amy used her Raptonic Barrage and Will, his Twin Shark Cyclone on the Jaguar D-Brid, Killing it. The Cheetah D-Brid snickered and saluted the three, taking off in defeat.
"Okay then." Josh said, his transformation canceling out. I'm going to meet Sarah back at SADE.
"Yeah you go do that." Will replied, trying to strike a nerve in Amy. The three rode back towards the direction they came as the Jaguar D-brid Crawled out of the fire and rubble. She stood up and dragged herself to the back of a building nearby to escape being noticed. She clutched her side as the D-Brid reverted to Sarah, clutching her side, leaking small drops of blood through her clothes…

[Super Hero Time]
Amy: See I knew it! I knew she couldn't be trusted!"
Will: Yeah, but who cares she's hot!
Amy: What is with you two, you've been saying that ever since the chapter started.
Will: You're just Jealous that we don't say that to you.
Amy: That's not true at all.
Will: Ask Josh, he'll tell you.
Amy: Shut it Will!
Tira: While Amy contemplates if she's going to kill Will, I'll close with saying good night. Bye Bye!
