(Sage's POV)

Night soon came as the moon and shining stars replaced the sun in the sky. Most of the Light Riders were done with their duties for the day, and decided to relax, while I was in the main room of the base's control building. The main room was much like the base of the secret governmental agency, No Men (who comes up with these names), in the Dragon Knight show. The room was contained with high-tech computers on one side, while the other was just a table, where the Riders could talk with each other. The table had the same logo that the No Men had in the show, ironically enough.

I was sitting at one of the computers, the screen displaying a map of one of the cities that the Light Riders abandoned about a year ago. According to the computer, the Dark Riders learned of a mysterious energy source and planned to take it, but the Light Riders found out about their plans and tried to stop them. Unfortunately, the battle ended up ruining the city with no clear victor, so both sides just left, not wanting to use up any resources.

Out of all the places I searched for, this one caught my attention when I saw the words "mysterious energy source" came into view. The report stated that the source was never founded, but it emitted a large amount of energy, similar to energies of the Advent Void, which was the reason the Dark Riders went to that city. For some reason, it was sounded familiar, and I decided to keep that report stored, so I could look at it later.

Leaving the computer, I stood up and stretched out my arms as I walked over to the other side of the room. It took me a while to find any information, and since I had no success I decided it was time to me to take a break. "You look tired," a familiar voice spoke.

I knew who it was, making me turn around to see Lyra leaning against the entrance, her arms crossed over her chest. She wasn't wearing her long trench coat, which revealed the black uniform of the Rider Equips on her body with her symbol on her left breast pocket. "I was busy," was my response, lowering my arms to the side. "You need something?"

"Yeah," Lyra answered with narrowed eyes staring at me and suspicion crawling up her voice. "Just who are you?"

My black lenses looked at Lyra. "I've already told you guys," I said. It wasn't a total lie. I didn't tell them about Arca and I coming from another universe, but I did explain to them my situation for finding Arca.

Unfortunately, Lyra didn't believe me as she walked up to me, her face a few inches from mine. "No, you haven't told us everything," Lyra glared. "Just what are you trying to pull?"

At first, I thought Lyra was suspicious about me not telling her everything, but I felt there was something else. At the moment, I just pretened to be innocent. "I have no idea what you're talking about!" I protested.

"Oh yes you do!" Lyra spat before revealing, "Maya told me you mentioned Pryce to her! No one knows that save for us!"

If I had a tongue, I would be biting on it for realizing that I let out too much information to Maya, and I probably jeopardized my entire mission. I was silent for many moments, thinking quickly of what plausible excuse to tell Lyra, but the stress of the situation made my thinking process a little slow. "Well?" Lyra demanded, impatiently.

I was going to speak, but before I could, we both could hear the sound of alarms echoing across the entire building, and the room was covered in infrared lights that emitted from the sirens on the walls. Lyra whipped her head towards the display panel within the main room that showed the entire layout of the base. "What's going on?" I asked her.

Lyra turned her head back towards me. "The base is under attack!" Lyra shouted. Immediately, Lyra snapped, "Advent Gauntlet, Activate!" and her Advent Gauntlet appeared on her left forearm. I saw her raise her left arm to her face before calling out her transformation phrase. "Kamen Rider, Equip!"

A wave of energy flew off of Lyra's body, causing me to place a hand on my hand to keep it in place as I watched silver electricity cover Lyra's entire body until she was covered in her Rider Equip armor. 'Interesting,' I silently commented as I lowered my hand from my hat.

Lyra's armor was silver with he armor on her chest and along her sides colored black. She had nearly unnoticeable slots in her armored back back, much like Kit's. Her boots were silver with no heels at all, and the back of the boots were black. The helmet was shaped like a griffin's head with the Her Advent Gauntlet still covered most of her left forearm, and on the underside on her forearm was the holster for the cards.

With her armor on her body, Lyra turned around towards the exit and began to rush towards it. Wanting to help, I called out, "Wait!" It grabbed Lyra's attention as her armored form stop at the door before turning to face me. "Let me help you.."

"Why should I?" Lyra questioned, her voice filtered through her helmet. "How do I know you won't stab us in the back?"

"You don't," I answered honestly. "But know this, I won't be staying here forever. I will take care of my business before leaving you guys alone. But while I'm here, I will help as much as I can. That I promise."

Lyra was silent for a few moments, possibly thinking of my words as well as the current situation. With the base under attack, Lyra was going to come to me for help, which I wasn't hesitant to give. Besides, I could use this opportunity to find information on Arca.

The Advent Master of the Rider Equips just turned around, her armored back facing me as she walked up towards the doorway. She stopped before looking over her shoulder and asking, "Well, are you coming?"

I nodded and followed her, unhooking my saber hilt from my belt. "Let's go."
