Location: City of Boru-Nui, CyberTECH Underground Lab...
[Navigating the underground lab constructed by CyberTECH underneath battles through some goons along the way they even encountered a whole new type of Vahkroid slimmer, sleek in design guessing that they're build for defense and security protecting the lab from all threats included them as well...]
[They're a lot tougher than the original but with some efforts they managed to scrap these machines than they continue making their way through the facility arrived in another part of this underground location Kanohi than he says...]
Kanohi: Wait a minute so this whole lab is underground and how the hell did they manages in building all of this in the first place? And without catching the military's eyes?
Kaiden: Knowing them so well they always finds a way especially building something like this under everyone's radar they're definitely hiding something that they don't want anyone from finding out...
Takashi: So let's keep searching and find whatever they're hiding down here...Heh new universe, same old trouble wherever we go am I right Maira?
Maira: *Nods her head in agreement with Takashi's statement* True on that Taka. But something tells me that this trouble is going to get a whole lot worse than before so we probably...
[Than a voice can be heard via the intercom cutting off Maira mid sentence revealing to be the boss of this underground laboratory goes by the name of Zekira he became fully aware of their unexpected arrival here so he immediately sending out more soldiers towards them in the effort of stopping them sounded pretty pissed off the way of his voice...]
Kanohi: *Doing some wall running in order to getting across of a huge opening in this one area they're in jump onto a platform* He's definitely not happy and guessing that we're in the right place but we'll have to fight these guys again just like before so let's stay together and fight right through them...
[Kanohi summons his energy sword while everyone else armed themselves as Sage hovers next to him then they coming across with bad guys came to stop or eliminate them all so they went all out in a massive battle Takashi is doing alright fighting without transform into his rider form guessing that he most likely to fight like this whenever he's in a fight or conflict with anyone...]
Maira: *Watchs Kanohi fighting some grunts along side with Sage* Looking pretty good there Kanohi seems like all of that training actually pays off huh...
Kanohi: Thanks again for that and I appreciated for the sword practice too Maira you're an awesome teacher and let's keep fighting these guys so we can proceed further...
Kaiden: We're right behind you Kanohi all the way...
[Enters another area before doing some parkour on some platforms, wall running jumps onto another platform one by one eventually made it to the other side while fighting off some flying Vahkroids called Veckors hovering high above the group managed to shoot them down than Kaiden hacks some computers in order to proceed into a wide open area what seems to be a tasting area and seconds later the ground they're standing on rumbling...]
[Than a massive mech machine came out of nowhere from down below revealing to be an modified Kaita mechs tank which it's the very same mech machine that people operates during the 50 Years War used for battling the original Vahkroids from the war standing over them judging the way this one have been built for Kanohi stands in the front of the massive machine than Zekira orders the Kaita to kill the intruders before they do any serious damages...]
Kanohi: *His eyes widen as the Kaita was within range having a closer on this new enemy they're now facing* That's a Kaita but something definitely wrong with this thing and I had my fair share of operating one of the older models that one time with my dad my guess is that they did some serious modifications with their design...
Maira: Something tells me that we need to beat this thing right away so maybe we will locate this Zekira guy and then putting an end to whatever he's planning...
Takashi: Let's us transform Kanohi...
Kanohi: Right...
[Both Kanohi and Takashi transform once more into their rider forms along side with Maira Sage and Kaiden they all prepared themselves for the upcoming battle. The Kaita slamming it's fist down on the very ground they're currently stands on evades the incoming attacks around them Nuva leaping over the large arm of the mech trying to eliminate their enemy and he immediately start slashing the hand multiple times before withdraw it's hand away from him due to the damages he dishes out Arsenal joins in attacking the other hand continue the process while the duo were focusing on the other weak spots high above the mech armed with their weapons in hands blasting and slashing most of them before getting knocked down off by Kaita's hand...]
Nuva: *Saw Kaiden and Maira falling down so he quickly rushes over towards them* MAIRA!!! KAIDEN!!! *Catches the two girls in his arms successfully in saving them* Are you alright?!
[Kanohi had this worry tone in his voice even though that they can't see his face underneath the mask so Maira comforts her friend by saying they're okay and that they really appreciated for him saving them than the Kaita starts attacking them once again Arsenal came summon a barrier that had protected them from that attack came falling down sticks his landing...]
Kaiden: SHIT!!! We still have that freaking machine to deal with and thanks for the quick save Kanohi let's beat this metal scape and parts before it can do anything...
Kaiden: Oh shit...
Location: Boru-Nui, The Northern Apartment Complex...
[The scene switches to a large massive buildings which it's a apartment complex where many people lives in and among of these people was two a human male with dark scarlet red hair, orange/yellow mixed color eyes, red/dark red leather jacket, black under sleeveless shirt, pants and boots he's around maybe 20s to 30s years old sitting down on a chair inside of apartment across from him was a young human cat ear girl and tail with gorgeous cyan hair, blue eyes sitting in another chair...]
[This cat girl had this worry/tired expression exhausted from something so she finally introduce themselves as Neko and Ven turns out that they once was friends with Kanohi and whatever the caused of the falling out maybe we'll know soon...]
Neko: Ven we need to discuss about what happened? About Kanohi and it's our fault for not believing him in the first place, now he's gone...
Ven: I know Neko. We did actually find the real guy who committed the real crime and we probably will need to find him kid like you said before we didn't even believe him so we should make amends for that...But the question where is he exactly?
Neko: I agree and maybe Mr Mata might an idea since he's been around the clock searching for his oldest son since after what happened on that day, we all are feeling responsible so we have been helping in the search...
[Shortly later a call came through as a holographic image of a man standing in the center reveal to be Kai Mata, Kanohi's biological father General of the Insu military O.O.M.N the very same organization who responsible in ending the 50 Years War allied with many different species and races from across the universe, aided in rebuilding what has been lost so Ven was surprised that he had called him and there's has to be a reason on why...]
[The general finally explains that he may found some leads on Kanohi's whereabouts he has been spotted in another part of the city and witnesses reported that three individuals had stopped the attackers from harming them among the three was Kanohi himself unfortunately they didn't find him nor the others in that location and as to the reason why he call is because he asking him for assistance in finding Kanohi...]
Ven: *Surprised* He wasn't alone and how exactly did they vanished like that?
Kai: *Hologram* We're still figuring it out Ven and I'm believe that he somehow involved with CyberTECH because of my informative who has been updating me on their activities and there's another individual who have been helping him for some time now. I'll give you support during this search Ven and there's anything you need let's us know...
Ven: *Smiles* Where to sir?
Back To The Boss Fight...
[Arsenal and Nuva both combined their finishers together before Kaiden and Maira both does the same all against the massive Kaita mech after doing this it was badly damaged due to the combined attacks falling apart so they immediately escape the area soon as the machine exploded upon death the force of the blast launched them forward landing down on the floor hard than Nuva and Arsenal both smashed into the wall de-henshin out of their transformation Kanohi slowly lifts himself off the floor as the two girls came to help him than Takashi feeling sore and exhausted after the long fight but decided to continue forward...]
Kanohi: *Shaking off the dust off himself before turning around towards Kaiden and Maira* Appreciate the help and now we need to find this guy before he sends anymore of that so let's go...*Turned towards Takashi extend a hand out* Feeling alright there Takashi?
Takashi: *Rubs his neck tits slightly as a soft crack can be heard a bit than he grabbed Kanohi's hand pulls himself up* Sore, beaten and feeling like shit... Besides that I'm okay so yeah let's find this son of the bitch and get some answers out of him...
Later...
[Team Nuva eventually arrives in the part of the location after fights many more of soldiers standing in their way, there high above the massive open area stands a humanoid male with pair of long horns, white color fur, dark grey hair, red eyes wearing some type of fully cybernetic exo armor suit standing atop than he leaps down onto the floor caused a blast of wind blown against the four soon find out that this man is Zekira the very same one who have been aiding Alax on Project Vanguard...]
Zekira: So you guys must be the ones I had hearing about, the one who's been interfering with us so many times and that's why...*Raised his hand out towards them with one finger pointing at the four*...I'm going to eliminate you all and when I do...I'm going to enjoy it so better ready yourself...
[Zekira's armor transform into battle welding two large machete type weapons as the faceplate came down cover his face before charges up for a attack they immediately dodge just in time as the swing of his machetes slammed onto the floor unleashed a blast of red lightning so the two transformed once again...]
Nuva: That was too fucking close guys we need to stop this guy but how exactly?
[Than he felt a warm touch when something materialized on his belt than starts flying around in a red color glow this knocks Zekira very hard fallen down onto the floor it continues to flew around with a incredible speed then Nuva catch it in his hand as the glow fades showing a whole new Rise Gear don't know exactly what this thing does but it doesn't matter because they need to beat this Zekira guy and get some answers so he slots it into the driver than does the same process like before slams both button...]
WEAPON RISE HELLFIRE CLAWS!!! READY FIGHT!!!
[A pair of three blade claws and armor parts attached themselves onto Nuva's armor complete the transformation having a scarlet red/dark grey color while flames radiating from the claws which this surprise him even further leaving the others well mostly Zekira was both confused and shocked after seeing what just happened so he attacks Nuva but immediately get counter and slash by his new weapons sending him while being burned by flames and smashing into a wall cracks formed around it...]
Nuva: *Laughs a bit while he Inspects his new weapons* I guess the whole "I'm on fire" thing giving a whole meaning especially I have these things... Pretty handy huh?
Arsenal: *Walks over to Nuva as he pats his shoulder* You can say that again and maybe I'll join in the action as well...*Pulls out a rider card slots it in the driver like before than closed it both sides*
ATTACK RIDER: STRIKE VENT!!!
[A dragon's head appear from nowhere attached itself onto his right arm and both Nuva and Arsenal combined their attacks at the same time against Zekira with a blast of powerful flames which it seems to had an effect on him they saw the armor itself super heated on some parts probably from the attack, the two girls both following by attacked the evil scientist Zekira several times with their katana and rifle in hands...]
Zekira: *Shocked in having his armor super heated from that combined attack, struggles to standing* No-no no-no not now...This doesn't mean that you guys beaten me yet... Damn it I'm going to EXTERMINATE YOU ALL!!!
[Zekira's body unleashed a burst of lightning pushing any away and he enters Rage Mode swinging his weapons around violently faster than before Nuva and Arsenal dodges some of the strikes heading their way, some most of them slash Nuva's upper right arm, left leg looks pretty bad so Maira and Kaiden both rushes in backing their friends out she deflects the rest Kaiden blasted Zekira's face caused him to back away...]
[The faceplate of the helmet broke apart from the impact Zekira than Nuva continue the attack on this guy clawing the armor along with Arsenal and his friends laying down everything they have in beating him overtime they managing in cracking the armor. Zekira unleashed some more attacks before getting beaten by them officially fallen down on the floor of the location badly damaged, armor both cracked and still heated from the constant barrage of attacks...]
Nuva:...Zekira you'd been beaten and we out number you four to one so I suggest that you stopped fighting before you do anything...
Kaiden: Exactly. If you try to pull anything on us we will beat you again Zekira...
Maira: *Raised her katana at Zekira's neck* Kaiden we'll keep a watch over this guy while you hack into the computer up there...
[Kaiden rushing up the stairs arrived in a opened area upstairs than she hacking the computer after defeating Zekira speaking of which Zekira unable to do anything while kneed down on the floor suddenly in a split second he vanished before reappeared being held by none other then Ika armed with his weapons in hand Arsenal, Nuva and Maira both focus their attention on them armed with their weapons...]
Arsenal: They just teleported?...But who the hell are they exactly?...
Ika: *Chuckle underneath his helmet* You guys are smart enough to figure it yourself... So you're the ones who've been interfering with the old man's operation? I was gonna say that I'm impressed but I would be lairing...
Nuva: Old man? Wait you mean by Alax right? Who are you than exactly?
Ika: Hmmmm doesn't matter. It looks like you have failed horrible...I might add and also by the way Zekira your boss doesn't like anymore failures from this point on...Since you can't even beat these idiots right here...
Maira: *Gets annoyed by Ika's comment* Hey! The hell did you just say?
Arsenal: Maira he's just trying to enraged you and stay calm okay...
Ika: *Smirks underneath the helmet* I wasn't even trying to. Just stating the facts and I'm ending this right here and right now...But not before I'm ending him...
[Zekira immediately became panicked than Ika lifts him up high trying to break loose but he instantly died turning to dark ash after he was done turned around to facing the trio tossed the body away than another battle started the only way they can do is keeping him busy long enough for Kaiden to hacks into the computer. This battle was long and hard Nuva exchanging blows after blows with Ika each time he counters them perfectly making things harder he has much better experience in battle can be seen throughout the fight Arsenal and Maira both attack him all at once...]
Ika: *Dodging most of their attacks before he blocked Maria's katana with his weapon* Judging by your fighting styles you're more experienced than the other guy...But why keep fighting?...
Maria: Well its simple asshole. You're the bad guy here me and my friends here we beat people like you everyday and also we never stop fighting so there's that...*Pressing her weapon against Ika pushes him back hard enough for Nuva to attack him from the behind* Be careful Kanohi don't do anything reckless...
Nuva: And here's your answer...
[Nuva only in managing crack the visor Ika staggered from the attack following by kicked him in the chest immediately pushed back aways and than swings down on him with his X-Calibur leave a slash mark on the armor sudden Ika used his enhanced strength in jumping over Nuva lands on the second floor, place a hand on the mark before turning his attention back onto the one who managed in hitting him...]
Ika: You got lucky kid...But the next time you won't be so lucky...
[Ika teleports away vanishes without any traces after what seems to be the battle ended without any winners Nuva and Arsenal both undo their transformation before making their way upstairs where Kaiden was standing there by the computer something isn't right here so Kanohi walk over towards her then he asked what's wrong. Kaiden snipped out of her deep thought when Kanohi place a hand on her shoulder finally say that they'll need to get the hell of there right now so they do as Takashi summons another dimensional rift and they steps through it ened up in a completely different location somewhere in the city...]
Maira: *Turns her attention to Kaiden* Are you really sure that you're doing alright there? You're having that expression from last time Kaiden and we were worry if something had happened or something...
Kaiden: *Immediately sits down on the ground with her face bury in the knees*
Kanohi: *Sat down with Kaiden on the ground wraps his arm around her for support* Kaiden?
Kaiden: *Tits her head up looks at Kanohi before stares down at the ground* I'm sorry and I know...Who the hell was that guy? I had been keeping taps on Alax and CyberTECH they never ever mentioned anything about this man?...*Wipes sweats from her forehead then she lets out a sigh of stressful*...I shouldn't had done something and if i knew something about this than...
Kanohi: Hey Hey it isn't your fault Kaiden. Don't beat yourself up like that, plus we're still alive and live to fight another day. If anything happens we will figure something out like always since you guys are my friends...
Takashi: Are you alright there Kanohi?...
[Kanohi stands up from the ground he remembers the very last moments back at the base where everything changed being framed for some crime that he didn't committed, argued with his father Kai he can be crying a bit as tears flows slightly down his cheeks Maira comforts him with a hug wrapped her arms around Kanohi then ask how is he since he's been feeling down lately and she's worried...Kaiden gets up stand by his side and than Takashi joins in comfort their new friend in this moment said that they'll be there for him, in the same way that he'll be there for them ever since they first met...]
