AN: This is another preview of War of the Rider Equips, a crossover between my story, Kamen Rider: Sage & Arca, and Kamen Rider Lynx's Mirror Trilogy. Enjoy!
(Sage's POV)
Well, I explained everything I could to them, save for the fact I'm from another Multiverse entirely. I had to make it as simple as possible for Kit and Lyra so their heads didn't explode from the confusion, and guess what? They actually believed me. I know, it's shocking that the interrogator would actually believe what the innocent guy is saying. Usually how it goes is that the good guy is captured, get interrogated by some self-righteous idiot for hours on end, and when the interrogators do get it, it's usually too late to solve the problem.
However, it would have been nice if I was out of this cell. They're still cautious, even after all that I had told them, except for the bit about me from another world, otherwise they would start to get ideas. 'At least, they didn't take my hat,' I thought to myself as I sat in my cell.
I heard the door to my cell creaking open, which made me look up to see Kit and Lyra standing at the entrance with guards at their sides. As I wondered what they were doing here, Lyra turned towards the guard on her right and simply nodded towards him. The sight of the guard walked towards me with a key in his hand immediately made me realize they were going to free me from these stupid cuffs. However, I couldn't help but feel a little suspicious at this sudden change of thought.
Despite my suspicions, I allow the guard to approach me and unlock my cuffs. Once they were off, I slowly stood up and flexed my wrists to get rid of the numbing sensation that build up in them while I wore the handcuffs. Staring up at the two Advent Masters of the Light Rider Equips. "Looks like you believe me," I stated, feeling a little relieved to be free from those binds.
"We do," Kit nodded.
I was happy they believed me, but my joy left me when Lyra stated, "Before we search for this person you're after, we've brought the other Riders here to listen to your story. They arrived a few minutes ago."
For a moment, I froze at Lyra's words and restraint myself from cursing. 'Just great!' I bitterly thought.
When I asked for their help, I only hoped to be given some technological aid that will help me track down Arca, not actual help. If more of this universe's Riders get involved with Arca and I, they might realize we're from another Multiverse and they'll try to use it. I know the Light Riders were the good guys, but while I waiting in my prison, I remembered what happens to the Rider Equips. If anything were to happen to them before certain events occurred, it would only distort the history of this universe.
If I explained this to them, then I would revealing my 'little secret' to the Rider Equips and I didn't want to risk that. Now some may argue that Arca might have told someone else in this universe the truth about him being from another Multiverse, but I think otherwise. Arca likes to act evil, but he too knows the importance of maintaining the time stream of any universe. Letting anyone in this universe know would only jeopardize his existence, and knowing Arca, he's never willing to go that far.
Seeing how I had no choice in the matter, I let out a mental sigh of defeat as I looked at the leaders of the Light Riders. "Very well," I nodded, trying to hide my disappointment rather well.
AN: And that's it. Please leave reviews to let me know your comments and constructive criticism! Also, this story is NOT up for adoption!
As stated above, this is a crossover between Sage & Arca, and the Mirror Trilogy. I highly suggest to read Lynx's stories she wrote so far for the Mirror Trilogy, Shattered Mirror and Mirror's Shadow (which she's still working on), as well as Sage & Arca. Thank you.
Raika out!
