[Super Hero Time]
Josh: Yo people, Let's get right to chapter 15, because I've been eager to show off this fight. Freaking Sam, taking all of my time because the boss wants to alternate between the two stories ever other week. Whatever, let's just get started.
Ashley glides through the air, scanning the jungle under her. Her brace suddenly picked up a heat signal, rising from the ground as the sudden gust swept her attention away. She shielded herself from the wind until it died. When she looked, Terri along with Amy and Tira on her hover across from them.
"So, that's where you were hiding." Ashley said, smiling that her target made a reappearance.
"Nice to see you again. So, now that we're evenly matched, I think that I can beat you now."
"Beat me? What makes you think you can beat me?"
"Terri, let's demonstrate our new power." Amy smirked. She slid the crossbow into her brace and suddenly jumped off with Tira. "Kakusei Henshin!"
Ashley froze suddenly as Archer Mode's armor attached itself to Amy, while Terri suddenly shrunk and transformed into a CLAW. It dropped as well as they fell. Amy grabbed the CLAW and slid it onto her belt.
"SONIC FORM!" the computerized voice made out as Amy was engulfed in a white light. It broke after a few seconds, revealing Amy, in a similar armor to Ashley, the only difference is the white Pterodactyl armor pieces Attached to the armor. Other than that, it looked identical to Ashley's Berserk Mode.
"Kamen Rider FANG: Archer Mode Sonic Form." Amy called herself as she aimed her crossbow towards Ashley.
"That's cute, it's like I'm looking at a mirror of myself." Ashley giggled. "OK, so you got a new form, still think you can beat me?"
"Turbo Shot." Amy said, instantaneously transporting herself behind Ashley. She then kicks her up higher in the sky, using the turbo shot again to knock her back down.
"I'm not done!" Amy called out. She detached Tira off her wrist and attached her to the new docking station on the crossbow gauntlet, unleashing a new Final Slash Attack. Amy's wings suddenly detach themselves off of her back and reattach themselves on her crossbow. She turns her wrist vertically, and pulls her left arm back, as a light-blue energy stream in the shape of an arrow appears lined up with her arm.
"Celestial Raptonic Barrage!" She shouts as she launched the arrow. That one soon became two, then four, then eight and so on, as they rained on Ashley. Ashley managed to dodge most of them, despite getting hit by a few of them. Just when she thought it was all over... it wasn't.
"FSA Number two." Amy said as she took one last shot. The arrow shot towards Ashley who was ready for it. She stopped it in it's tracks as she was relieved.
"That's only half of it." Amy replied, much to Ashley's dismay.
Amy then slid Terri off her belt and slid her on her waist where there was another docking that was added during the new form change.
"FINAL SLASH ATTACK!" the voice called out as the boosters on Amy's feet suddenly ignited under her. She shot up in the air, and positioned herself, before crashing down from the air.
"Sonic Boom Kick!" She called out. Her speed increased as she slammed into the arrow carrying her and it through their opponent, causing the D-Shifter to explode in midair.
Amy landed on the ground, using the rest of Tira's and Terri's power, causing the transformation to die down. Ashley crawled from one of the trees, struggling to stand up straight.
"Not bad for a rookie." Ashley replied. "You pass my Trial: QUEEN of Clubs."
Ashley tossed Amy the deck. On it, showed Ashley's D-Brid form, the form of a red and black armored Raptor with a silver crossbow in it's hand and a basket of matching arrows on it's back.
"There's one more thing you need to do." Ashley said, wanting Amy to come closer to her.
Amy walked over to the D-Brid, as she put her hand on Amy's chest. Ashley soon after disappeared, as Amy began to hear Ashley's thoughts.
"Synchronization complete." Ashley said. "So, your highness, how does it feel to have a new power on your side."
"Feels heavy." Amy said honestly.
"Oh don't worry, that's just you waking up."
"Wait does that mean...?" she started, turning to Terri.
The Field of Dreams suddenly started to darken as Amy reached out for Terri. Terri flew away despite Amy's cries.
"Sorry, but we'll meet again sooner than you think!" she reassured as she disappeared in the darkness.
"Terri wait-ow!" Amy said as she jumped up and hit her head on the glass. "Dang it, I'm such a klutz." she sighed as she rubbed her throbbing head.
"Nice one." Ashley commented in her head.
The scientist open the hatch as Amy jumps out seemingly disappointed that her new "Dino Buddy" isn't with here.
"That was amazing!" Yuliya said happily. "My flight training worked to perfection, just like I hoped."
"And my Turbo Shot ability was in her new mode, so I feel pretty proud of myself." Nolan added.
"But I don't have Terri anymore so I don't think I can use Sonic Form." She said, getting ready to cry.
"Who said?" Rodriguez called.
The group turned around, seeing a White Pterodactyl with gold tips on it's wings sitting as if sleeping in Rodriguez's hand.
Shade walked onto the computer, grabbing what seemed to be a memory card in it's mouth and tossing it to Rodriguez. Rodriguez then opened a latch under it's wings and inserted it, before putting the Wings back into place. The CLAW Beast suddenly woke up with it's Sapphire blue eyes as it blinked and flew around the commander.
"CLAW System Type 08: Sonic CLAW. This claw is the first Auxiliary Claw to be used in conjunction with the FANG system, not only that it's also the first to have it's own individual AI System in it. So far this is the first of three. The other two belong to Josh and Will, but they need to discover them first. Now Terri, you have someone waiting for you."
Terri then flew around Amy as she wiped her tears away and became ecstatic at the sight of Terri, the reunion of her and her new companion.
"Terri!"
"Told you we'd meet sooner than you thought." Amy was too busy to notice, but Nolan diverted his attention to Josh's capsule. "Now that's Amy's the QUEEN of Clubs, I wonder how you'll stand against your opponent Josh..."
In Josh's field of Dreams, he walked through the destroyed NYC, as he remembers the scene from the first Shadow Day from 2009 (It's January 2011 at the end of chapter 13) He walked through, seeing the destroyed scenery as he stopped, speechless at the sight.
"Sarah..." He slowly uttered.
Elsewhere, Jake, the KING of Diamonds, watches overhead, along with his Alligator FANG Beast and Komodo Dragon CLAW Beast, ready to destroy his prey...
Chapter 15: Ignition: Charge Blitz Form!
"Sarah!" Josh shouted running to the person a few yards in front of him. The figure turned around, staring at him for a sec, while processing who she heard.
"Josh! It's you!" Sarah bolted to him. When they met they hugged each other tightly, afraid to let go.
"Oh my God, I thought I wasn't going to see you again!" Josh said, sniffling.
Sarah nodded. "Same here." She then heard growling in front of her, as she looked up, staring at what could be assumed to be a group of Cobra Dreamon.
"Crap, they followed me." She detached off of Josh and and ran in the opposite direction. Josh turned around, and decided to follow suit, not wanting to deal with them.
"Mind telling me what's going on?" Josh asked as they ran through the broken city.
"Well in a nutshell, this area's the home of Reptile Dreamon. I just happen to be around, when I was intercepted. They've been chasing after me for the last few days.
"What were you doing here?"
"I was sent on a mission to find a CLAW Beast, and deliver it to you when you arrived in the Field of Dreams."
"CLAW Beast? But the FANG System doesn't use CLAW Beasts, it uses FANG Beasts."
"It's a long story but I'll explain it once we-"
Out of nowhere Sarah is sent flying across the street. She gets up, looking in front of her, despite her vision becoming fuzzy. "So, you finally decided to show up.. KING of Diamonds."
Jake walked up, smirking. "Well well, what do we have here? Scum in my territory. Not only that, but traitorous scum who should've bit the dust already."
"Who are you? You look just like me..." Josh asked the new individual. Jake turned to him, drawing his deck out.
"Don't worry; you're next." Jake slapped the deck onto his arm as it transformed into his brace. The Hammer key was slid in as it played a dark chime, sort of like a Death Metal version of Josh's Guitar sounding chime on his brace. "HENSHIN!" He called out as the alligator latched itself onto the brace.
"SHIFTER MODE!" It announced, as Jake was covered in a Red and Black version of Josh's armor. "I am Jake, KING of Diamonds of the Nexus Royal Flush Five. Nice to meet you." He saluted to Josh, before charging at Sarah, who transformed into the Jaguar D-Shifter. She blocked his kick although struggling as he chuckled. The alligator latched onto his hammer, causing the Final Slash Attack to take effect. Sarah knew this was bad, however, Jake didn't draw his hammer.
"Rider... Punch." Jake uttered as his right fist began to glow crimson red. He put force into his leg, forcing the D-Shifter to the ground as he spun around and brought his fist into her back, destroying her instantly.
Josh dropped to his knees watching Sarah die in front of his eyes again.
"Sobek: Let's go!" Josh ordered.
Sobek hesitated, but shook it off as the chime played on Josh's Brace.
"HENSHIN!" Josh said.
"TITAN MODE!" Josh got up and charged the D-Shifter.
Jake turned and blocked the strike with his forearm. He then began to counter Josh's next few moves, before retaliating and making Josh crash.
"I heard from the KING of Spades that you humans have created the Rules of the Hero, am I right?"
"Yeah what of it?" Josh snapped, still upset.
"Here's a rule for you: Think before you strike. You know that the D-Shifter was dead. What makes you think that she was still alive? Nothing in the Field of Dreams is real except for the thing that come into it. Everything residing here is in your imagination."
"So that means..."
"That the Jaguar D-Shifter wasn't real. As a matter of fact, the could've been leading you into a trap. If I didn't step in-"
"That's good to hear. I was afraid that she left me again..." Josh replied with a smile.
Jake sighed. "Humans."
"Anyway, I'm going to be the next KING of Diamonds, so do you mind giving me your deck?"
"That's if you can get past me." Jake charged Josh and the two begin to fight once again.
Back with the rest of the group, The CLAW and FANG Beast get to know Terri, while Amy explains how it was in the Field of Dreams. Noah walks to Jezebel and pulls her away from the group.
The two head to the Roof of the SADE Building and watch the scenery of the dark clouds, raining down white snowflakes that coated the streets below.
"So, with all of the stuff happening these last two weeks, I never got to talk to you." Noah admitted.
Jezebel smiled. "What's on your mind?"
"Nothing, just that I missed you. So, it's been Six months huh?"
"Yeah. After Nolan beat Hiran, you went into hibernation to heal up, Nolan and the others took care of a "Few Errands," and then in September, we got those three kids to look after. Crazy bunch."
"Like us right?" Noah laughed. "Remember when we were kids, Me, You Mark and Richard, training everyday, wanting to become the next generation of the Royal Flush Five.
"I didn't forget." Jezebel smiled. "Remember Old Man JOKER?"
Noah laughed. "Could never forget Grandpa JOKER. After all the years he lived, His ninja training came in handy. Probably would've never became the KING of Spades without him.
"And I should thank him as well."
"Why's that?" Noah asked.
Jezebel smiled and kissed Noah deeply. She broke the kiss and smiled at him.
"Old Man JOKER gave me a great KING of Spades to rule side by side with." she put her hand on his, and he held it.
"He gave me a Beautiful QUEEN to rule with as well." Noah replied, causing to Jezebel to lay her head on his shoulder.
Eavesdropping on them, Nolan and Jessie smile, glad that Noah and Jezebel found each other once again.
Meanwhile Josh found himself losing against Jake as he found an abandoned motorcycle near him. He got on and rode farther away from Jake. Jake smirked, watching Josh race farther and farther away from him. He snapped his fingers alerting the Komodo Dragon CLAW beast.
"Time to go wild... Kakusei Henshin!" He called out, the Komodo Dragon CLAW Beast transforming and sliding onto Jake's belt.
"BERSERK FORM!" It called out as Jake's Berserk Form took effect. Jake gained boosters on his arms and wrists as well as the Jet pack from his back.
"TURBO SHOT!" Jake said, pulling on the booster on his wrist. The Jet pack erupted as he shot down the street, catching up to Josh.
Josh saw Jake catching up, so he accelerated to try to lose him. He slid around corners left and right, at this point, knowing that every block in Manhattan was considerably small in length.
"I think we lost him." Sobek finally spoke up.
"I hope we did." Josh replied, riding down the street.
TURBO SHOT OVER!
Jake suddenly appeared in front of Josh's speeding Bike as he held his hand out. The bike crashed into him, but he stayed in place. The back wheel went up and so did Josh. Josh soared into the air, quickly drawing his hammer to stop the velocity, Making him slow down as it dragged onto the street. Josh landed safely breathing fast due to the sudden shock he just faced.
"That was close." Josh sighed.
"You like that? Because it's only gonna get better." Jake replied as he drew his hammer, which had another Head on the lower part as did the top.
"A Double edge hammer? Who would imagine something like that?"
"You would." Jake smirked, spinning it with one hand, despite it's weight. "This is your dream after all."
"Don't remind me." Josh and Jake charged Each other again. Meanwhile, Sarah crawled to the adjacent building behind them bleeding sand, hanging on by a thread, as it was clear she wasn't going to survive much longer.
Meanwhile at Shadow HQ, James, Miranda and Mike have a three-way battle with each other, with the Neo Royal Flush Five watching them.
"Well how do you like my creations?" Commander Hashimura asked his subordinates.
"Strong." Ken replied.
"Fast." Marissa admitted.
"Little pieces of trash with no respect to authority." Tyson shot, gaining the attention from the other three."
"What was that?" Hashimura questioned.
"Your little pet projects are a bunch of little kids who need to be smack around a bit, if you catch my drift sir."
"Why's that? They'll be you allies sometime soon."
"That's if I don't kill them first." Tyson said coldly. Hashimura chuckled.
"OK Hothead, let's see the King Phoenix "Smack around" with them a bit shall we?" Hashimura moved out the way letting Tyson go into the training room.
"Yo listen up. Commander wants me to test your abilities to see if you can stand up to SADE's Riders, is that understood?"
James and the others got into formation and saluted. "Sir yes sir!"
Tyson snickered. "Little brats, they're doing this only because Hashimura's around."
"Anything specific you want us to do?" James asked.
"Yeah, three on one. You three vs. Me: Deal?"
"OK fine."
Tyson transformed into the Phoenix D-Brid. "Right then. Let's get this over with."
James smirked and with the others, their new FANG Beast appeared. Jason drew a Excalibur-like sword key, Miranda drew a bladed Tonfa and Mike drew a Mace. They slid them into their braces.
"HENSHIN!" They called out as the Sword-shark, Triceratops and Cobra respectively all appeared and bit onto the braces.
"BLADER MODE! KUNOICHI MODE! GLADIATOR MODE!" Their braces announced as the armor covered them. James was covered in a sapphire-blue and white armor, designed after a Sword-shark (Or Saw-shark). His helmet resembled the open mouth of a Shark with the fin on top of the helmet. He had five swords on his person: two on his sides, two on his back and a Saw-blade extending from his brace. Kunoichi Mode was black and purple the motif based on a Female Ninja and a Triceratops. The helmet resembled a Triceratops head with three horns. Her weapons were two golden bladed Tonfas, resembling Triceratops horns. Gladiator Mode was White and red, resembling an armored war figure, based on the Cobra snake. It's weapon was a black Mace with a chain extending from the rod to the spiked ball. Mike swung it up, causing the chain retract and connect to the rod.
"So, your pet project's have made some improvements I see., Pretty. Can I break it now?"
"You may do as you like." Hashimura replied.
"OK kids, let's get started!
Back with Josh, Josh and Jake continue to fight, however with Jake's new power, Josh Is at a disadvantage. Jake knocks Josh back, rolling over.
"Shame, I really thought you were going to pass my trial too."
Jake connects his Alligator FANG Beast to his hammer, activating his Final Slash Attack.
"Sayonara." Jake said raising his hammer.
Sarah suddenly bolted in between them, blocking the strike, shocking the both of them.
"You're still alive?" Jake said as Sarah felt the pressure get the better of her.
"Josh... You gotta get the CLAW." She said, looking in the direction she came from.
Josh, speechless looked seeing something shining in the darkness. He ran to it and picked up the strange object. It was bright red and swamp green, looking like a giant lizard. It looked at him and let out a small roar to Josh, transforming itself into a CLAW.
"Transform Josh, slide it onto your belt!" Sarah screamed, borderline of being crushed.
Josh looked at it and the belt, seeing the position it needed to be in to work. He slid it on as a red light emerged from it. The next thing anyone knew was that Sarah disappeared from Jake's hammer and the red light disappeared.
"TURBO SHOT OVER!" a voice announced. Sarah looked up faintly, seeing a Rider with similar features to Josh's Titan Mode, but the armor now had Red overlapping the Black armor, there were boosters and a jet pack equipped on it and the Hammer was double edged as well.
"Josh..." She uttered very faintly.
"Kamen Rider FANG: Titan Mode: Blitz Form!" Josh said. He put Sarah down and bolted to Jake, smacking him with the hammer, his strength increasing a huge amount.
"Blitz form huh? Not bad. Still you can't beat me."
"TURBO SHOT!" Jake disappeared attacking Josh from all sides. Josh however, having Nolan's speed training, was able to block all of the attacks with ease. He did this so well that he landed blows on Jake.
"OK that's it. I've had it." Jake said as he slid his CLAW on his waist, with a docking port similar to Amy's.
"FINAL SLASH ATTACK!" The voice called out as Jake leapt into the air.
"Meteor Break!" he announced as the fire ignited under him.
"This is done." Josh slid the CLAW onto his Brace, activating his FSA.
"FINAL SLASH ATTACK!" Josh called out as he pulled his arm back, that gaining a crimson lightning aura.
"Blaze Crasher!" He called out as he launched his fist into the sky to counter Jake's kick. Josh's fist and Jake's kick ignited extremely powerful flames that struggled with each other, but in the end, Josh won, due to Jake using too much power as it was.
Jake's transformation canceled out as he caught his breath. Josh held his hand out, helping him up.
"Thanks for that. It was fun." Jake said.
"Thanks for teaching me the reality of the dream world." Josh replied.
"No problem, I'm here to serve..." Jake put his hand on Josh's chest, syncing with him, as the KING of Diamonds deck dropped into his hands.
"KING of Diamonds." Jake said in Josh's head. Josh ran over to Sarah, helping her up, even though she didn't have long.
"Hey... You won." Sarah said slowly, her body already turning to sand.
"I did, if it wasn't for you..."
"Nope, it was all you. I had no part in this."
"Will I ever see you again?"
Sarah giggled with her last few breaths. "It's your imagination. I'm here when you need me. Goodbye, for now..." Sarah finally turned to sand as the wind carried her off. Josh looked up watching it disappear.
"Goodbye... Dream Girl."
Josh woke up, and got the surprise of his life by the others. Even though Josh wasn't so happy by the turn of events.
"I'm never going to see Sarah am I?"
"Oh will you relax?" a small Indonesian accent voice, coming straight out of left field, replied.
Josh looked and saw the same Komodo Dragon from his dream sitting in Rodriguez's hand.
"Yo, Kid. The name's Blaze. Nice arm by the way."
"You're that CLAW Beast from the dream."
"Yep that's me. I overheard your conversation with that girl, you realize that she was just a part of the dream right?"
"But still I-"
"Still what? They call it nightmares for a reason. She was going to kill you."
"How do you know that?" Josh shot.
"Because, she was going to use me to kill you. The KING of Diamonds told you that to be a hero, you have to think before you act. And I chose you as my partner because I believe that you could pull off such a task, so prove to me that you can!" Blaze snapped. Josh got quiet and nodded.
"So that's two down and one to go." Tim stated, looking at Will's pod.
"Wait, I have a question." Amy asked. "Why did Josh have the Turbo Shot Ability?"
Rodriguez cleared his throat before he responded. "CLAW System Type 09, the Blitz CLAW is the second Axillary CLAW with it's own AI Program and work in conjunction with the FANG System. I should also mention that these new CLAW Beast have a special ability."
"Which would be...?"
"That they each have Dual attributes of the first three Auxiliary CLAWs." The Sonic CLAW has the attributes of Flight and Speed CLAWs, the Blitz CLAW has the attributes of the Speed and Power CLAWs and...
"Will's has the attributes of the Power and Flight CLAWs. Right?" Yuliya asked.
Rodriguez nodded. "That's exactly right. I took such precautions just in case. All we need to do is hope that Will gets his act together, and we can be ready for this..."
Will elsewhere dodges Claw swipes from a group of Polar Bear Dreamon, activating his Final Slash Attack, ending them. He canceled his transformation, and looked around.
"Shak..." Will said.
"What's up?"
"Why is my field of Dreams in the middle of the Arctic?"
"You really think I know the answer to that?"
"I know the answer." Warren's voice echoed across from them as they see him.
"It's because this is my territory; Enjoy you stay, that is, as long you don't freeze to death..."
"The Nexus Royal Flush Five's Leader: The JACK of Spades!" Will spoke up.
[END]
[Super Hero Time]
Blaze: So, this is Super Hero Time. Pretty comfy here.
Josh: Easy for you to say, you've only been here for five minutes.
Sobek: Josh, be nice.
Josh:... Whatever, So, Will's gonna fight next?
Sobek: Yeah, and In Neo Decade, Sam visits the World of CLAW, so it should get pretty interesting on both ends, right?"
Josh: It'd be even more interesting if he visited the world of FANG first.
Blaze: Nah, it just wouldn't work, you know, since FANG's a sequel and all.
Josh: Remember Rule #14?
Sobek: Think before acting?
Josh: I'm thinking of ways to kill a dragon.
Blaze: They call me Blaze for a reason *Mouth ignites* I'd suggest you not mess with me or else you wanna be roasted.
Josh: Fine, have it your way, dang lizard.
Blaze: *spits small fireball*
Josh: AHH, damn lizard, that was my favorite shirt! *Chases after Blaze*
Sobek: Why does all of these end like this? I'm heading to Neo Decade, you'll find me there. Cya.
