Keiichi raised his bat and was about to swing it at Mion. They were trying to kill him for knowing too much! Just like how they killed those other people! Keiichi would not let them, not even if they were his friends.

As the bat was ready to collide with the side of Mion's head, a silver veil dropped Shinichi off. He cursed his luck for getting caught but then saw Keiichi swinging in for the kill. "No!!!" He tackled Keiichi in the side, knocking him down. The bat also fell from Keiichi's hands and rolled away. Shinichi straddled Keiichi and held him down by his wrists. Keiichi struggled, shouting out that they were trying to kill him in a maddened voice.

"Keiichi, this is for your own good!" said Shinichi as he knocked Keiichi out with a punch to the head. This made Keiichi fall completely unconscious. "Thank goodness."

"Excuse me, but who are you and how did you get here?" asked Mion. She was still trembling.

"I'm just as confused as you are," said Shinichi. His eyes fell on Rena and she blushed when he smiled at her. "You better call Dr. Irie. I gotta go!"

He ran towards the door but Rena called, "What's your name?"

"Kuro Juusan!" Shinichi answered.

The Darkloid had been tailing Keiichi, staying hidden, and feeding on the increased paranoia on the boy. It didn't take long for Shinichi to find the Darkloid, standing outside Keiichi's house. It had probably infected him in his sleep and had been hanging out just to feed.

It looked like a dog, but Shinichi wasn't fooled.

"Henshin! Let's Ride: Showa!"

Light flashed from his belt and the puzzle pieces which formed converged onto his body to make his armor. He then rammed his fist into the dog-like Darkloid. The Dog Darkloid then assumed a humanoid form and barked. The beast itself looked like something out of a werewolf movie. The only differences were that obsidian black armor covered its shoulders and part of its lupine head. It began to rain and rained heavily it did, thunder crashing through the sky. The two circled each other before lunging at each other, exchanging violent blows. The Darkloid fought like an enraged animal, furious that its source of food had been captured before he could become a true meal for its dark tastes. The Kamen Rider fought true to his name, with tempered rage at seeing his friend tormented so by the monster. Lashing out, Showa landed a kick into the beast's stomach, sending it tumbling along the wet ground.

"RYUUSEI PUNCH!!!" Showa called out as he charged. The Darkloid rose to its feet just in time to receive a punch that entered its chest an exited through its back. Showa withdrew his fist and turned his back to the Darkloid which exploded.

Showa looked back towards the window where Rena and Mion were watching him. He saluted and then vanished as a silver veil carried him away.

Later, inside Dr. Irie's clinic, Keiichi awoke, missing several days of his life and wondering why he was strapped down.

OMAKE 2.5

The Darkloid stood outside Keiichi's house, feasting on the paranoia the boy was emitting. It tasted so good. Suddenly, its feasting was interrupted. It wanted to go check but a kick upside the head caused it to refocus its attention on the strange human who'd seen it.

"Henshin! Let's Ride: Showa!" Shinichi called out before he transformed into Kamen Rider Showa.

The Gun Darklod snarled as it got to its feet. Its legs looked like an unnatural blend of steel and flesh ending in two metal toes with polished wood casings that seemed to have been dipped in blood. Its torso was covered in bandoliers filled to the brim with brass bullets. Its hands were numerous gun barrels which had their hammers cocked every step it too. Its head was rectangular with a long rifle barrel extending from its nose and a row of very sharp teeth in its mouth.

The Gun Darkloid aimed and fired at Showa who dodged the shots as he charged. His fist met with the Darkloid's gun-like face, bending the barrel which was its nose. He then flipped backwards and his heel met with the monster's chin, causing it to go tumbling backwards and a final kick in its stomach sent it crashing on its back.

"RIDER KICK!"

Showa jumped and came down, executing a fatal drop kick that crushed the Darkloid. An explosion followed after the powered drop kick came down upon the dark demon.

Thunder crashed through the air before the rain began to fall. It felt like déjà vu for some reason to Showa. Looking to the remains of the Darkloid, he saw the bits and pieces which remained already dissolving with the flames being put out by the rain. He looked to see Rena and Mion staring in awe at what they witnessed. Saluting to them, Showa turned to leave. He only got a few steps before a silver veil passed over him, taking him away from the scene.

"So this time you prevented Keiichi from bludgeoning Mion and Rena to death," Rika summarised after Shinichi told her and Hanyuu about his latest trip.

"That's right," nodded Shinichi. "A Darkloid was responsible for Keiichi's paranoia so after I knocked Keiichi out, I went out of his house to kill that thing." Shinichi showed them his fist. "And I kicked its butt good!"

"I wonder why you keep being taken to those places," said Hanyuu.

Shinichi shrugged. "Who knows, but it feels good to save my friends' lives."
