[Super Hero Time]
Nolan: Hey readers, as Yuliya and Jessie mentioned in our Recap, we're in the second part of FANG. So sit back, relax and watch the drama unfold.
Tyson, Marissa and Ken drag themselves towards a hotel, their clothes partially burned from the flames in the explosion. They took quite a beating from the Bushido Riders, but they were able to hold their own. With their resignation from Shadow, there were only two options. Join with SADE, or continue to be on the run.
"This could've gone better." Tyson grunted, clutching his weakened torso."
"It was worth it." Ken replied. "At least we're finally done with Shadow."
"And now, since there's nothing holding us back anymore… We can finally help the Riders." Marissa said. "We can finally help the KING of Spades in his fight against Shadow…"
"And even better… I can be finally reunited with my Sister…" Tyson pulled the locket on his neck as he opened it, revealing him as a younger teen, about fourteen, and a younger girl with dirt-blonde hair and a camera around her neck; she was roughly around eleven.
In the hotel room, Jessie opened a Gold locket with the same picture as Sora flapped over her head.
"Who's that?" the Swan beast asked curiously.
"My older brother..." Jessie admitted. "His name was Tyson;"
"Is he…?"
"I don't think so. I saw him today." Jessie replied. "I haven't seen him in years, he moved to Japan two years ago, to study at Tokyo University, and then he went to visit my friend Casey in Miami, during his vacation time. Casey said he got a Job offer and he had to get back to Tokyo."
"I see. Well maybe you'll see him before we leave."
Jessie smiled. "I hope so… I want to talk to him about some things…"
Chapter 26: Family Ties
Jessie unlocked the door to her house that afternoon, lugging her suitcase inside.
"I'm home!" She called out as she shut the door.
Jessie's parents came from the kitchen, satisfied that their daughter returned home. But that wasn't the reason why they were smiling.
"You two seem happy." Jessie smiled. "What's going on?"
"Someone's waiting for you in the living room. He said that he's been dying to see you." Her mother replied.
Jessie questioned that, but walked into the living room nonetheless, leaving her suitcase next to the door.
Jessie froze when she saw her visitor sitting on the couch drinking coffee.
"It's been a while, Sis." Tyson said as he smiled. His arm was bandaged and he had a few cuts and scrapes.
"Hey Bro…" Jessie replied. Suddenly she broke down in tears and charged her brother clutching him, despite his pain.
"Ow! Jessie, get off, that hurts!" Tyson complained.
"I missed you so much…" She replied, not letting go.
Tyson forced a smile, despite his pain. "I missed you too sis…"
That night, after their parents were asleep, Tyson and Jessie sat on their front steps, Jezebel and Sora there as well.
"So what happened to you?" Jessie asked. "I thought I was going crazy when I saw you at the Conference in Japan but here you are…"
Tyson chuckles; "It's a long story. But the fact is that we're not associated with Shadow anymore."
"What were you doing with them in the first place?" Jezebel spoke up.
"Aiding the KING of Spades on a mission… We met him about six months after Shadow Day in 2009. He was weak at the time so we only got to meet him briefly in our dreams. It's also there that we were introduced to our Dreamon Counter-parts: They possessed the KING of Hearts, QUEEN of Diamonds, and JACK of Clubs Kaishi Decks." Tyson explained. "As luck would have it Jezebel; Your Brother became my partner similar to how you became Jessie's."
A small tornado formed on his shoulder, revealing the small red phoenix.
"You mean…?"
"Inferno stored himself within this WINGs beast to allow me to use my D-Brid abilities as a Human. It also helps transforming into a D-Shifter easier."
Sora meanwhile was amazed that there was another WINGs Beast present.
"That's so cool! Can he be my brother too?" Sora flapped around with the same enthusiasm that Kyuki used to have."
Inferno flapped off of Tyson's Shoulder turning to him. "You should explain the real reason why we're here Tyson."
Tyson looked down, hesitant to ask.
"Real reason…?" Jessie wondered. "What does he mean?"
"Well…" Tyson started. "We were hoping that we can become allies with SADE. At this point, Hashimura's aim is the Kaishi Decks. We can't under any circumstance let them have these."
Tyson held his KING of Hearts Deck, which had a red aura around it.
"What does he want with the decks though, start another Shadow Day?"
"Can't be; I think he wants something bigger than that. All we know is that he wants the ACE Decks. The ACE holds the full power of Shogun Hashimura, his ancestor. And Hashimura's extremely powerful as it is now. If he acquired all Four ACE Decks…"
"Then he'd be unstoppable, wouldn't he?" Jessie replied.
Tyson nodded. "That's why we want to join up with you guys. We want to hand over our decks to the FANGs."
"But didn't Hashimura say that losing your deck means that you'd be killed?"
"It's a bluff. The Decks can be transferred from person to person. The only way you'd die, if the deck's destroyed. By training the FANGs to master the power of the decks, they'd be able to withstand Hashimura's FANGs; The Bushido Riders who betrayed SADE to work for him.
"So all we have to do is convince them right?"
Tyson nodded. "In addition, it's sort of redemption: For what we put you guys through all this time. So can you do it…?"
"No absolutely not!" Nolan walked down the hallway of SADE, Jessie fuming behind him.
"What the hell's your problem?" She flipped. "Keep in mind you accepted Dominick back with open arms, even though he betrayed us."
"But The Neo Royal Flush Five were directly under Hashimura, what if they're trying to get the decks from us? I can't put the FANG's in danger like that."
"But he said that Noah sent them as spies, just like how Dominick had Misael and Mitsuki as spies to see what Shadow was planning."
"And look where that got us? Commander Rodriguez is dead and Mitsuki's with Shadow. Besides, if you ask anyone else, they'd be on my side with this one too."
"Nope." Tim replied.
"Doesn't look like we can trust them…" Yuliya replied.
"They put us through Hell." The FANG Trio replied simultaneously.
"You've got to be kidding me…" Jessie said. "Commander…?"
Dominick took a deep breath. "I don't know. They might've saved us back in japan but that doesn't mean-"
"But Tyson saved my life! My own brother kept me from being killed from that stupid D-Shifter evolution, did everyone forget that?" Jessie brought up. The room got quiet from there.
FLASHBACK
FINAL SLASH ATTACK! The computer announced as Nolan stared at the sparking D-Shifter. Still in Flight form, he drew his double edge halberd and readied himself.
"Well…?" The Swan D-Shifter asked.
"I…I can't." Nolan replied. His transformation canceled, as tears were running down his face. "I just can't…"
"In that case…"
The Swan D-Shifter and Nolan looked as Tyson began to walk towards them.
"You're…" Nolan started to say.
"I'll just have to kill you myself…" Tyson said coldly. A bright red Phoenix flew from behind him, as he strapped a black and crimson bandoleer buckle on his chest.
"HENSHIN!" he called out as the phoenix joined with his backside.
"KING MODE!" it announced as Tyson transformed into his D-Brid form. Suddenly, black knight armor covered his person, giving him fire-jagged gauntlets and shin guards on his arms and legs, both were red. In addition to a shield on his right arm; this had a red blade extending past his arm. His bright red wings spread out away from him, igniting flames as they came into contact with the air.
Tyson flapped his wings once, and it was over. In that split second, he appeared behind the Swan D-Shifter, whose wide-eyed expression was enough to realize that it was now dead. She dropped to the ground and disappeared in a fiery explosion.
"JESSIE!" Nolan called out. His vision darted towards Tyson as he bolted towards him.
"What the hell! Why did you do that!" Nolan yelled at him.
Tyson turned to him, and Nolan became speechless.
"Because if you could, you'd save the one you love the most as well."
Tyson put Jessie in Nolan's arms as she lay, bruised and a bit bloody in her face.
"Take this; it'll absorb any excess energy that's left. Take care of her." Tyson handed him a Lavender and White bandoleer buckle. He then snapped his fingers, and walked through the Nightmare Vortex that opened.
END FLASHBACK
Jessie cleared her throat, not able to look at her "Friends" any longer. She walked out of the office.
The Neo Royal Flush Five members meanwhile were wasting the day at Starbucks trying to think of an alternative plan if Jessie failed at hers.
"I have a feeling that they won't accept us." Ken said. "I mean, we were their enemies for the last seven months or so."
"But it sucks. We went to school with them." Marissa mentioned. "Amy's one of my best friends, the fact that we've actually pretended to do all of that… and on top of that, Hashimura revealing our alliance at the Conference…"
"Well even so. Hashimura's going after our heads and decks now. We've disassociated ourselves from Shadow, so now all that there is left is joining up with SADE. But after all; we were their enemies nonetheless, no matter how much we helped them along their journey."
Jessie walked into Starbucks just as he finished his sentence. She saw the trio discussing their predicament, and so she joined them in the discussion.
"I couldn't convince them." She told them. "They don't trust you guys."
Ken sighed. "I knew this wouldn't work."
"Well it's not the end of the world." Marissa reassured.
"Not yet anyway…" Ken replied.
"Don't worry about it." Tyson reassured. "Give them time to think it over…"
In SADE's training Lobby, Tim and Yuliya stood across Will and Amy respectively.
"You two ready?" Tim asked, giving his crossbow to Kiba.
Will and Amy slid their keys into their braces, as their beast got ready.
"Like the sound of that." Yuliya replied, as Kyuki took the necklace of her neck.
"HENSHIN!" The four of them called out as the modes commenced.
"SONIC FORM; CRASHER FORM!" Will and Amy's Transformation commenced first.
"MARKSMAN MODE; SAMURAI MODE!" Triggered soon after, covering Tim and Yuliya in their respected Rider Armor.
"Let's go!" Tim drew his pistol and began to fire at Will as Amy charged Yuliya.
While the two sparred with each other, Josh and Nolan watched them go back and forth, Nolan being quiet and Josh thinking about the conversation earlier.
"She had a point you know." Josh said. "Even if they put us through a lot, we need to face facts."
Nolan kept quiet not saying anything.
"If it wasn't for them we'd be dead right now." Josh confessed.
Nolan and the others stopped their training and all gave Josh a sideways glance.
"What do you mean by that?" Nolan asked.
"I've been thinking a lot about it and I thought of a few ways they might've helped us in some way. Like when we first fought the Bushido Riders. Tyson took them away before they could kill us. They seemed more than confident that they could've finished us then and there. On top of that, if it wasn't for Tyson, turning Will into a D-Shifter, we wouldn't have any reason to get our Kakusei forms because at this point we'd be dead. Face it, The Neo Royal Flush Five members were helping us against Shadow all of this time. And Jessie's the only one who believes her brother. And Nolan; did you ask Noah about this? What if he really did send them to spy on Shadow?"
Noah and the other Royal Flush Five Members all materialized into the area with them.
"Josh is 100% right. Tyson and the other Royal Flush Five members have been assisting me ever since ACE returned, gathering information for me about Shadow." Noah said.
Nolan looked at him, irritated. "If that's the case, why didn't you tell me that?"
Tucker stepped in at this point. "That's because you were too stupid to realize the hints that he kept leaving; He was a bit careless with it but he still made it look like that he had no intention of staying for Shadow for long. I suggest that you'd find Jessie and talk this over."
"Sir, I've found them." A blonde-haired woman said into her cellphone as she stood in front of Starbucks. She wore a private school uniform and a red backpack over her shoulder.
"OK then. Then you know what to do." James replied. "Get the Decks from them."
"Understood..." She dropped her bag and sand developed around her in a tornado that grew around her.
"HENSHIN!" She called out. The D-Shifter transformed that blew the window in. The customers started to run towards the back of the restaurant in fear leaving Tyson, and the others in the front.
"A D-Shifter…? Why now of all times…?" Marissa snickered.
"My guess, Hashimura sent it to track us down." Tyson assumed. "Well it's actually pretty relieving if you think about it."
"How so…?" Ken asked. "We're still beaten up from Japan, there's no way we're in any condition to fight."
Jessie looked at them, noticing that Marissa and Ken were also hurt as well. She then turned back to the D-Shifter standing in front of them: the Dolphin D-Shifter.
"So then that makes me the only one who can fight huh?" Jessie said pulling out her Bandoleer.
"I believe in you." Tyson smirked. "Besides, I would've never have given you that Bandoleer if I didn't think you'd be able to control the D-Shifter's power once it calmed down."
Jessie listened to her Brother and looked up at Sora who nodded.
"I guess I don't have choice then." Jessie took her Shield-like Key and slid it into her bandoleer. Strapping across her chest, Sora got ready.
"HENSHIN!" Jessie called out. Sora flew onto the docking port on her back as the transformation commenced.
"KNIGHT MODE!" The system announced. Jessie's Rider Form Lavender and White, with a motif of a Swan and a Knight; on her back, extended beautiful Snow White Wings, which covered a Silver Shield with the QUEEN of Hearts insignia on the front of it. Her Sword rested on the left side of her belt, the hilt red.
"There's another Rider?" The Dolphin D-Shifter realized, watching the store be covered in white feathers.
"It worked…" Tyson smiled.
"I'm known as: Kamen Rider WINGS: Knight Mode!" Jessie said as her wings extended once again. She rammed the Dolphin out of the store, and began to slash away. The Dolphin tried to fight back, however Jessie easily evaded her moves, making quick work of her, barely giving her a chance to fight back.
Jessie slid her sword down her back, through her shield and took the newly made weapon whole. She slid her shield-like key into the weapon, causing it to spark Purple Lightning.
"FINAL SLASH ATTACK!" The System announced as the weapon attached itself to her arm.
The Dolphin D-Shifter grew fearful as she moved back a bit.
"Royal Break…" Jessie's wings extended as she shot up into the air, the electricity spreading across her body. It spread all over, making her resemble a Purple Swan. She then dove down towards the Dolphin D-Shifter, and collided overhead, despite her trying to escape. The D-Shifter died in the explosion with Jessie's transformation canceling out.
"You did well for our first test run." Sora commented. "It was fun."
Jessie smiled at her WINGs Beast. "Thanks; all that training really paid off."
A Silver and Green Motorcycle pulled up to Starbucks, and the Rider jumped off, revealing to Be Nolan. He examined the area realizing the Window was blown out and the burning pile of sand a few feet from her.
"Um… Can we talk?" He asked Jessie.
Jessie smirked. "I guess you'd had a change of heart huh?"
Nolan reluctantly nodded, giving Tyson and the others a sigh of relief.
"So, you still think it's not gonna work Ken?" Tyson turned.
Ken chuckled. "OK fine I admit, it may not be the end of the world; At least not at the moment."
Marissa smiled. "So I guess everything worked out in the end. We have new allies and the real fight with Shadow begins."
Tyson nodded. "Gotta get them prepared; There's no telling what else Hashimura has up his sleeve…
Meanwhile, at Shadow HQ, Hashimura replayed the surveillance tape of the battle between the battle of Jessie and the Dolphin D-Shifter. Even though he knew that it was an obvious One-sided battle, he was especially curious of the new tool that SADE had up their sleeves; or rather what that 'traitor' supplied them.
"The KING of Hearts is a clever D-Shifter…" Hashimura studied. "Now that they're with SADE…"
Raiga jumped onto Hashimura's shoulder as he stood up.
"This might just turn out be fun, don't you agree?" Raiga asked, as they both transformed into the Liger D-Shifter.
"It'll be just like 400 years ago…" Hashimura said looking out the window of Tokyo's rising sun. "Just like the Shogun, I'll soon have enough power to bring this world to ruin. I'll be the destined Sand Man…"
