Theory 4: The choice is yours
I do not own Kamen Rider or Cross Ange
The sky was nice and peaceful until a plane flowed through the clouds. In it was Gene, and with him was Ange, who reluctantly agreed to go with him and fly back to the three capitals.
Ange glares at Gene as he smirks back at her and remembers what he said at Arzenal.
"If you don't want your sister to a bullet in her head"
This enrages Ange with his threats to kill her sister.
"Oh come on, you can't be mad at me," Gene said.
"You ever kill her I will," Ange said, angrily at him.
"Do the people really think they still see you as a princess, the only thing they see you know, is a Norma, trash" Gene said harshly at her as Ange glared at him. "Get ready, we're about to arrive," he said before walking off. They looked and saw the three capital nations.
(Back in Arzenal)
Ange group were in a room sitting at a table and eating meat while they discussed Ange's offer to Gene.
"Well at least that damn bitch will be out of hair for some time now," Hilda said in relief of Ange's left.
"Yeah, she went to track down this killer and get so much money!"
"Yeah, that skank's gonna have more cash than us!" Chris shouted after Rosalie but even after Ange left she would get paid millions.
"Though I still don't understand why she decided to leave?" Ersha wondered why Ange decided to leave with that man.
"Who cares, as long as she's I'm glad she's gone," Hilda said as if she didn't care and just ate.
"But once she returns, she will get millions more cash than us!" Vivian said, pissing Hilda off and throwing her food at her face. "Hey, what was that for?" she complained, whipping her off from her face.
As for Salia, she was silent and hardly touched her food thinking of Ange agreeing to go with Gene with him. "Why would Ange leave after she returned, I bet it's her excuse for leaving, was it going back out there," she thought before thinking about when Ange used a special Paramail Vilkiss she wanted to use but failed. "But if she can't return Vilkiss will be mine"
Then someone walks in revealing to be Jasmine. "Hey, girls!" She greets them.
"Sup granny!"
"I told you not to call me that!" she shouted at Vivian for calling her that nickname. "So how is everyone today?"
"It's fine, but we were just talking about Ange," Ersha replied as this got the girls to stop what they were doing and stare at her. "Well, do you know why she went with him?"
"Maybe to abandon us?" Rosalie guesses smirking.
"Yeah," Chris agrees.
"But that's not true, she's not leaving! Is she?" Vivian shouted and asked her sad to think of Ange leaving here forever.
"Well ladies, if you wanna know. Ange is going on a hunt for something bigger" The girls have no clue what she is talking about wondering if it is related to DRAGONS. "And that would be a fugitive."
"A fugitive?" the girls said in unison.
"Yeah remember that red and blue guy, Kamen Rider Build" Jasmine reminded them about Build who broke in here and managed to sneak out of here as this was suspicious of him but Vivian smiled about that. "Yeah, the guy who manages to beat that monster that Vivian turned into?"
"Yeah but why does he have to be so rough that it hurts," she complained rubbing her shoulders.
"Because of this, remember" Jasmine showed them the newspaper on the front page of Ange and Build.
"Wow, Ange is on the front page and there's that Build guy!" Vivian said excitedly.
Salia took a closer look at the date and was shocked. "Wait, the day she disappeared on our last mission how did she meet him?" she said before reading the title and was stunned. "But I still don't understand. What did he do?"
"Haven't you noticed this Build, this human, helped her escape," This shocked the girls as they looked at the paper. This human helps Ange, but why? Then she remembers after she agreed.
(Flashback)
After Ange agreed to Gene's deal, she packed up and was ready to head off to Touto, but then she stopped when she noticed Salia and Vivian.
"You're leaving Ange, but you just got back," Vivan asked as she was about to cry.
"I know, there is something I need to take care of," Ange replied.
"Then what is it?" Ersha asked.
Ange ignored her question and was about to walk.
But Salia would not stand it and step up to confront her. "Why are you doing everything that humans ask?" she demanded.
Ange glares at her as her reason for her little sister being endangered if she does not comply and has no choice but to go with him back to Touto. "Why are you with him what happened to you!"
Ange says nothing back to her captain as she sees Gene stand by the copter waiting for her and then walk past her ignoring her question, which makes Salia furious. "Ange!" she hollered as Princess Norma ignored her and left Arzenal.
(Flashback ended)
She wonders why Ange agrees to leave with that human but then remembers when she nearly killed Hilda when she punched a hole in the wall. "Does this have something to do with that hole you did, if so, what is going on with you?"
Opening playing Be The One by PANDORA and Beverly
(It was ten years ago since the Pandora box was found on Mars bringing about the Sky Wall tragedy) The music starts with the Build symbol that appeared before it now focuses on a spaceship flying toward Mars and an astronaut picking up the Pandora Box, taking place in the aftermath as the ground large red crack, Sky Wall appeared.
(The country was now divided into three capitals: Touto, Hokuto, and Seito and plague into chaos) This shows Build looking at the city view as the title screen appears.
Build: Crossing of Ange
(Kono mama aruki tauzuketeiru) Yuuma was shown as he was shaking both bottles in each hand as the camera circle him, the scenes switch to solving math equations then in Kamen Rider Build with his motorcycle behind and he drives down the streets while dodging the exploration.
(Konya mo maasugu, hitori no ashiato tadette) As Build was riding down on his motorcycle on one wheel trike as the tube appeared showing a screen each person appeared: Ange, Coco, a girl with short black hair, a girl wearing a maid, Ian, Gene, and Yuuma solving a math equation smiling.
(Hateshinai, dakedo kimi dake wa) This scene splits as Yuuma was erased on the chalkboard, Ange is a princess who was once praised by her people, everything changes and now she is a Normal and lets go of her past. Now the twin pigtail girl was walking around the room before heading into the machine.
(Dokoka de matteru. Egao tayazimi) Build drove past Ange, twin pigtail girl, the short black-haired, and maid girl on his left while on his right were the Guardians and Gene. As the camera focuses on the Pandora Box guarded by the Guardians and Gene with a serious face. The scene changes to the face as Yuuma and the rest appear everywhere at the cafe.
(There you will) Coco look at the camera, her eyes turning green as her gold brace glows as the microwave door opens.
(Be the one, Be the one, alright! Ashita no chikyu wo naki de senai kara) The room causes even one to jump up as they wonder where that comes from Yuuma smiles as he reaches towards the camera and grabs the bottle. The scene changes back to Yuuma as he transforms into Kamen Rider Build as he poses with his right-hand flick on the antenna.
(Be the light, Be the light all right, tsuyoku nareru no. I wanna get it) Build appears on the pillar and slides down on the white dotted line and lands his leg at the camera. The scene shows Build other forms, Gorillamond smashing the floor, and Harinezumitank punching. This is a scene showing Night Rogue. Before changing to Ange fighting the guardians and firing her gun.
(Nanika wo tasukete sukutte dakishime. Kokoro ni furtle todoku, tsautaware. Be the one, Be the light) The camera shows the bottle on a spin board as Build takes each one, Yuuma was with his others as they all shake the bottles together. Sky Wall breaks as large equations appear before changing to Build as he drives away from a giant Guardian Union state. He changes to Gorillamond knocking it down.
(Message. Okoru yo hibiku yo!)The camera then shows Build forms Gorillamond, Rabbittank, and Harinezumitank. Ange lets out a screen while piloting Vilkiss, transforming into assault mode.
Then the final scene shows Build loading as he now stands on the building as the camera circle with Sky Wall breaking down large math and science equations.
Meanwhile, at the cafe at the underground laboratory, Coco was sleeping on Yuuma's bed while he was sleeping on his chair. The alarm rings as Yuuma is the first to wake up, yawning after a nice nap, stretching his arms, and pressing the button on the coffee maker for his morning coffee.
He turns his head to Coco watching her sleep, he looks concerned and wonders what happened to her and what Ange said back in Arzenal.
"That's impossible, that can't be her. She's dead!" Ange's voice shouted.
"I wonder what that princess said that she is dead, if she knows her, then that means she must be a Norma?" Yuuma thought in wonder about this girl known as Coco, the coffee was done and drinking it while pondering about this girl's connection to Ange.
Then the Norma girl wakes up Coco sits up and looks around before noticing Yuuma causing her to blush. "Don't worry I slept on the chair while you were on my bed for the night" he replied assuring her nothing happened. "So how are you feeling?"
"Yeah, I'm fine?" Coco replied before taking off the blanket and standing up on her feet.
"And, do you by any chance remember anything that happened?" Yuuma asked her if some of her memories had returned by any chance.
Coco tries to think hard in her head remembering what happened after reverting from a Smash, she sighs and shakes her head with a disappointed expression. "No, I still can't remember," she replied to the scientist.
Yuuma sighed with his arms crossed after hearing her answer but still in no lead of her memories of thinking of Coco losing her lost memories it was just like him and wondering if Night Rogue had something to do with her.
"It's okay," Yuuma said, patting her head. "Maybe one day, but just give it some time before you can remember," he said as this got Coco a smile. "So, you won't want something to drink?" he asked her what she wanted.
"Well, just water, but…do you have pudding?" Coco replied.
"Pudding?" Yuuma blinked. "I'm not sure we have those, but I'll check it out upstairs, just stay here," he said before heading upstairs leaving Coco alone she blinked, placed her hand on her head and felt she wanted it for some reason.
Meanwhile, up from the laboratory above the Nascita Cafe restaurant like always, there are no customers here with Ian at the front counter making coffee, until the refrigerator door opens as Yuuma comes out and approaches him.
"Ah morning Yuuma" he greeted him good morning.
"Yeah, morning" he greeted Ian and poured down his coffee. "Hey, do you mind if you can get pudding for our guest?" he asked.
"Really? Okay?" Ian replied, blinking in confusion. "So anyways, there has been a report of a Smash sighting at the harbour," he said, getting the attention of a Smash involved.
"Hmmm if so," Yuuma cupped his chin and stroked it to think about what to do. "Then it's time to use my new weapon!" he said, smiling with excitement taking out a gun with a Gatling that looked like he was not done yet.
"Okay! Okay! Put that away before someone else can see it"
"Ian, no one ever steps foot in this cafe, not one" he pointed out about his cafe with no customers here.
"At least I'm trying!"
Elsewhere in the airport loading bay, the helicopter landed on the ground with an H and getting out were Gene and Ange. The Norma princess looks around, recognizing Skywall and remembering what happened last time she was here after being kidnapped by gasmask people, meeting Build, and the death of her mother.
"Welcome back to Touto, I hope you can find the fugitive soon" he replied.
Soon Yuuma was back in his underground laboratory on the table finishing with the gun, with the tools to make some adjustments to work when he used it in battle. Coco blinks in wonder at what he is doing and hears sparks and cranking noises, she approaches him to see it up closer.
"Hmm, you seem to wonder?" Yuuma notices her leaning. "It's just something that I'm working on. This is for the new form back in Arzenal."
"Arzenal?" Coco said the last word and felt she knew it but could not remember and noticed the bottle he had. "These are the bottles?" she asked.
"Yeah," he replied before taking out his Driver. "With this Driver, I can mix and mature any bottle once I place it" While explaining you then take Coco to something on a wall as it looks like a black square with five separate slots he inserts his Rabbit and Tank bottles and lights up a line together indicating a perfect match. "But when a compatible combination is set it lights up and knows the best match! Because of what you did" he took them out and got his Driver's place then inserted both of them in.
"RABBIT! BEST MATCH!"
"You get this!" he places his driver around his waist and cranks the lever.
"ARE YOU READY?"
"Henshin!"
Two armours snap together as he becomes Kamen Rider Build and poses, making Coco surprised with excitement and applause.
"No way, that's amazing!" she said excitedly.
Build reverted to his normal self. "And that's how you use those bottles, they help me in the battle against the Smash the monster that's been rampaging the city, and I have to find the best match for each of them."
"A perfect match? Why" she wondered.
"Because, the Best Match form, I get this sound that means they are a perfect match up and the power overwhelmed me as well as the edge to win," Yuuma replied, holding two bottles in each hand. "And so far I only got, the Rabbit, Tank, Gorilla, Diamond, and a few I have"
"Oh, that's how many you have?"
"Yep," he replied to her. "I can't wait for what's out there" A bang appears from the microwave causing Coco to be shocked, but Yuuma with his hair sticking out. "It's finished!" he rushes over and opens it to see two new bottles.
One was an orange with a picture of a hawk, and the other one was gray with a picture of a Gatling pistol.
"Oh man new bottles, I hope they are the best match!" he shouted excitedly. Before the match exploded with black smoke steaming out Coco and Yuuma covered their mouths. "Oh come on, not again! Whenever this happens I think I have the right power source to keep this machine going!" he complained. "Now I have to get a new one!"
"And what is that?" she asked.
"Yeah it's my machine that purifies the bottle I used, after extracting from the Smash I battle" he explained to her about his machine. "Unfortunately it takes tremendous power so I found some blueprints and created this machine, as I am a genius. But some genius if I haven't found the perfect power source" he grumbled sitting on the floor at the corner with his arm wrapped around his legs sulking with black lines gloom comically.
"It's okay, your machine is amazing," Coco said, trying to make him feel better.
"Thanks," Yuuma replied happily after hearing that from her. "Kay now to get back on finishing this one," he said before focusing on finishing his modification on his new toy. "By the way Coco, I need to ask you something. Do you know someone named Angelise?" he asked.
"Huh, no I don't know who she is, I never met her" Coco replied.
"Really? Okay just asking" Yuuma nodded and continued finishing up his invention.
But for Coco when he asked that question of that name her eyes narrowed into wonder as she wondered about this Angelise. "Angelise, where've I heard that name?" she thought, wondering who she was or where they met.
Touto Government, leading this part of the country of the three Capital nations having a meeting in a large room with arrows of each sign cardinal direction with the other two governments.
One governor who sat with the letter E of the East was an elderly man with gray hair. He wears a gray uniform and glasses. That is Tai Himuro, the Prime Minister of his land Touto.
The other one with the letter N of the north was a woman with style black hair tied to a low ponytail sitting on her left shoulder. She wears a tanned jacket with blue lining, a blue ascot around her neck a black skirt and heels. She is Ane Hiko, the Prime Minister of Hokuto.
And the last one with the letter w of the west was a man with combed hair, wearing a black jacket with red inner, and fancy black clothing. He is Malcolm Masago, the Prime Minister of Seito.
"It's been ten years since that event nearly destroyed our country," Tai said, mentioning the event of the Sky Wall incident relief that this country survived after that nightmare and focused on this meeting. "So how does it go in Hokuto?" he asked the government of Hokuto.
"The childcare program and agricultural project are doing well," Ane replied, smiling as things in Hokuto, her country, are alright. "Although our friend from Seito might ridicule me for being internally oriented."
"Oh that's not true, my only focus is on young adults across our country and to make contracts with the outside world will aid us for once to regain our economy," the government of Seito Malcolm said.
Tai listened to the other two governments' side of the capital. "I take that no one would have a unified approach to this country," he said, noticing that none of them would unify their nation.
"Not for the foreseeable future, I think, not with the vital infrastructure that split our country since the Sky Wall," Malcolm said, likely the country would never be unified.
"I have to agree," Ane agrees with him. "As long as that wall is still there."
"I guess so," Tai agrees as well.
"By the way I heard that a Norma some hout got into your territory, what was her name again? Oh, she's the princess of the Misurugi Empire" Ane reminded Tai of a certain Norma Princess.
"Misarugi, more like a disgrace Empire, who had a princess for Norma all this time. We let her in our country last time, and now she's back. She killed our beloved scientist and savoury," Malcolm said in rage when Norma Princess Ange came back here and escaped.
"I'll take full responsibility and find out why Norma Ange was here in the first place. Do not worry, I'll make sure this never happens," Tai swore.
Then three Prime Ministers stood up from their seats and approached each other. "I'll see you all at next month's scheduled meeting," he said, bidding farewell to the other two governments as they disappeared in thin air. Tai soon sighed at hearing what they were doing on their side of the nation.
The two were in a nice and fancy office room Gene with a desk and a symbol of Touto, and Ange looked at him in silence while glaring at him, as he took his seat at his desk.
"Now, here is the deal, you will find Build, and the reward is yours for the taking," Gene reminded Ange about the deal to find Build and arrest him. "What's wrong, is the place different from the last time you were here?"
But Ange was still pissed after he threatened her that if she did not she would kill her sister back in her homeland. "You really are despicable Gene Himuro" he growled at him. "Why don't you find him yourselves, you don't need a Norma," she asked.
"We would be, would it be better for you to be the bat out in the open" Gene said of the plan as Ange narrowed her eyes realizing she was just to be the bait.
"You son of a b-!"
"If you do this task the reward will be sent to Arzenal of one million cash" he interrupted her.
"I don't give a damn about the cash, all of this is to arrest this Build guy, this has nothing to do with me!?"
"If I recall what happened you were there and Build helped you escape" Gene stood up from his seat, then walked up to the Norma princess. "Why would he do that? The entire world is against you and your despicable kind and you never know why a fugitive would ever save your life. Have you ever wondered why he did it exactly?" Ange and Gene glare at each other
Ange said nothing before remembering the time he saved her, even if he did and never accepted him, as everyone knows Norma was rejected in society. But then again, why would Yuuma escape from the authority like that, as she knows he has no memories, including the connection with the gasmask people working by the one called Night Rogue? But there is more than why he did it just to find the answer.
"So remember to find Build and the reward is yours and your sister's safety, if she ever calls you sister anyone after that incident" Gene commanded recalling the day of her Baptism revealing she was a Norma now hated by everyone. "Get him here, and make sure no one notices you, we don't want to get an angry mob at you anyways" Ange soon left the office with two Guardians.
She was dragged in a van with two Guardians watching her until it stopped, they tossed her out and drove away. "You piece of shit!" she shouted angrily, lashing at them for throwing a person like that.
Once he was alone for a few hours until someone walked in as Minister Tai and his father walked in. "Father" he greeted his father. "How was the meeting?" he asked.
"Things in Hokuto and Seito are doing alright, Prime Minister Ane said that her child program and agriculture are doing well," he said.
"You know that's a lie, Hokuto is assembling a military action compared to Seito's, we must act now and fortifi-"
"There's no need, we have enough strength to defend ourselves," Tai said, nurturing and declining his way of increasing more of their military power.
"But father!"
"Here I am Prime Minister and you must address me properly," he said. "More importantly did you find that Kamen Rider?"
"I already sent a platoon of Guardian out to search for the fugitive" Gene replied to his father.
"And did you find out how the former princess Angelise Ikarugu Misurugi got into our territory?' he asked about Ange's sudden appearance here.
"We will and when we do, will kill her for sure" Gene ensures him.
"If she ever comes back here, send Angelise Ikarugu Misurugi back to Arzenal," Tai said if she is here send her back to where all the Norma are sent.
"But father, she trespasses our territory and kills our beloved scientist and you're just going to treat her like a princess like nothing happened! That empire is gonna pay!" he shouted at his father about what he said of Ange.
"Know your place as I am the Prime Minister's son!" he hollered, silencing his son. "I know the Misurugi Empire lied, but I still call Jurai and Sophia my friends," he said.
"And look where they are now," Gene said to his father, the king and queen of the Misurugi Empire, his friends now dead.
But Prime Minister Tai said nothing and turned around then walked away. "Just keep looking for the fugitive as soon as possible so we can calm the people of Touto"
Ange was being transported with two guardian robots then kicked her out of the van and drove away. "You ungrateful tin cans!" she shouted and looked around the area and found herself in an empty alleyway, she noticed a sound nearby and checked to see if she was near a street with people. She needs to find a way to get in the crowd and not get the attention of her since she is a Norma but also a criminal for murder.
"Great, thank the hell of a lot Gene for putting me in the open" Ange grumbled before noticing a store that sells clothing and someone walking out with a back full of clothing she bought.
Once the person went to the alleyway, and the next thing she knew Ange appeared and knocked that person unconscious and took the bag of clothes.
She puts them on and wears a blue jacket with white sleeves, jean pants, a red plaid button shirt tied around her waist, blue and white shoes, and a gray sports bra. She puts on a baseball cap and sunglasses to conceal her identity and walks down the street unnoticed by anyone.
But as Ange continued walking down the street she noticed the streets were a complete mess with a crack on the road not to mention trash scattered everywhere, messed up and warned outbuildings with dirty and broken glass, some of the vehicles were a bit old and rusted. Ange examined the place as she remembered this place was messed up after her visit to meet the scientist Yuno which turned into a murder case.
When she was on the streets of Touto and saw that the people here seemed okay after losing their Light of Mana from the Skywall incident she remembered hearing that the people would become savages and insane.
Just then there was an expression nearby as two gangsters as they were in a street fight with bats and wooden planks as weapons. They beat each other to the death until Guardian robots appeared and took care of the situation causing the gangster to face off against them now apprehended and forced to be on the ground arresting them.
"Hmm, those people, they went through hell with no Mana" Ange thought before looking at the Skywall. "All because they brought back a damn box that caused this in the first place. How could they survive like this".
Ange watches anyone and walks off continuing to look around at people and to see they are minding their own business before noticing her as if they had never seen her their entire life. She notices and then looks at the people staring at her before making a run for it to get somewhere to hide.
"I can't just stay here any longer if these people find out it's me," she thought of the people here of Touto who recognized her as the killer of the genius scientist Yuno Katsuragi.
Hours pass by as it is nighttime now Ange looks everywhere to find Build but due to her being a stranger here, it is hard to get around when people aren't recognized in this domain capital from the outside world.
Ange walks down the alleyway to the cafe where Yuuma is but is completely excavated by suspicious people following her. She completely lost track when people were suspicious of someone they never recognized but also she got lost in Touto.
"Rgh, this can't be it I swear it has to be here" she growled. "Where the hell is that damn shop, they took me out too far" Just then Ange felt something behind her back it revealed to be
It was a man who was bald, wearing a leather jacket, and gray pants. "You should've never come back here royal trash," he said.
"Yeah, and who the hell are you?" Ange demanded.
"I'm the man that knew you as Norma framed you for the scientist's death, oh and the death of the queen and your mother," he said, causing Ange's eyes to widen in shock, realizing that this man was the one her mother talked about before her death, the man known as Kane.
"It's you! You caused this whole thing to happen!" she hollered.
"If you wanna get your name off it's too late," Kane said.
"I don't give a damn about the frame, what do you know about my mother's death it was you! You kidnapped her and my mother into a monster!" she hollered in rage at her mother's death.
"You're the real monster of this world and I'm not the one who kidnapped your mother, that was his job, I only take orders from Faust," Kane said, irritating Ange and hearing everything he said.
"Tell the damn who it was! What the hell is Faust!" Ange demanded before Kane made a run for it as she followed him but lost sight of him causing her to be furious. "Agrahhhhh!"
Soon it was nighttime now and Ange just sat in the alleyway feeling sad and angry about the man who caused her mother's death. She stayed there and did not care to find Yuuma's place as it was far.
When someone approaches her, she tilts her head and recognizes Yuuma standing before her. "Princess, what are you doing here?" he asked curiously.
"I don't care," Ange replied, glaring at him before hearing footsteps coming revealed to be a group of Guardians as they surrounded her.
"For the crime of violating the aid of the criminal, you are under arrest!" the Guardian said, Yuuma did not seem to escape as they blocked his way realizing this was a trap.
They aim their guns at him to make the arrest. "Well looks like your arrest for helping Norma" Yuuma looks at Ange. "Hey, I'm not the one, it's your stupid mistake for helping me" she scowled at him.
She took a footstep as the Guardian robot was aiming at her too. "For stepping onto violating law 12093 the accord of breaking in Touto without recognition from the outside world," The Guardian said to the Norma princess now arresting her anger Ange relieving that her time was up and meant Gene would get her sister killed.
But then Yuuma pulled out something taking out his new weapon he made as it was black and orange. "Duck!" he shouted as Ange was a bit confused before he pushed her head down and spun around while shooting, taking down all the Guardians, they collapsed and then exploded. "Let's go!" He grabbed Ange's hand and dragged her away. "Princess, why the hell are you here, did those Guardians use you for bait," then he noticed the bracelet on her wrist. "What is that?" he asked.
Soon the Guardians were marching in the alleyways searching for the fugitives and the Norma princess, they tracked down the two with the bracelet Gene placed onto Ange and followed their movement. But when they located their spot, they only found the bracelet which was supposed to be that Norma princess secured on her wrist meaning she must escape then.
As for the two, they were hiding behind the pillar as the Guardian was searching them and were this close but were this close to them, but found no trace of them before searching at another area. Yuuma and Ange sighed with relief when they were nearly spotted if it weren't for the scientist removing her bracelet just in time before the Guardians came.
"Ah, man that was a close one," Yuuma said, exhausted.
"I know right," Ange said before the two blinked for a moment before she narrowed her eyes at him. "Why would you do that?' she asked.
"Well I wa-"
"Shut the hell up, no more excuses!" She interrupted his talk as Yuuma noticed her angry expression before taking her gun out and pointing at her. "I'm taking you in for help Norma!"
Yuuma looks at her. "Did Touto pay you to do this?" he guessed.
"Just shut the hell up and raise you-!" but then Yuuma covers her mouth as Guardians appear and search the area before leaving.
"Would you stop helping, why are you doing this, you help a Norma like me, what's your trick?" she demanded
Yuum sighed at her questions and said otherwise. "Look I told you before, I rescued you because you might have information about Night Rogue and those Gas Mask people" he replied.
But Ange wasn't convinced. "That's not it, tell me why you resume me, because of money, glory or what" she demanded.
Yuuma sighs. "I'm not doing it for the glory, like I told you I have no memories of myself, right? The reason why I fight is so that I can find out who I truly am, and to be honest, I don't have any grudge against Norma" he replied.
This stunned Ange because of what he said about no grudge against Normas. "You're lying" she denied his reason.
"I'm telling you the truth."
"You're lying, my entire life I've been a bit fat, I was a human only to turn out to be a Norma kept by my parents!" she said thinking about her parents. "As of now, I'm Ange the Norma"
Yuuma just stared at her and listened to what she said as he sighed. "Well, if you're not sure who you are, then what are you then, you are not a princess anymore, then what exactly are you? If you wanna know who you really are, then make who you are then" he suggests as Ange looks at him for what he said and gets to her.
Both looked and saw that the close was clear, they walked out of their hiding place before both heard noises and saw a few Guardians rolling on the ground as they were knocked down by something or someone.
The Guardians were being pushed back and revealed to be another Smash. His armour plating was purple with large shoulder pads, it looked like he had three heads, as the head was a purple hood. This is the Mirage Smash.
Yuuma takes out his Driver and then warns Ange. "Get out of here I'll take care of this one," he said.
Ange looks at him at what he said to leave, narrowing her eyes. "As if I would be a damsel in distress!" she shouted, pulling her gun out.
"Fine, just don't beg me to save you, princess," he said, furious Ange hated being called that as a reminder of her old life. Yuuma then shook the bottles of the Rabbit and Tank with the math equation that appeared out of thin air.
"Now, let's begin the experiment" he smiled and inserted both bottles into the Driver.
"RABBIT! TANK! BEST MATCH!"
The techno tune was playing from his Driver as Yuuma cranked up the handle tubs coming out forming the set with him inside and the red and blue liquid flowing through the tubs formed into half armour from each side.
"ARE YOU READY?"
"Henshin!" he shouted as he posed.
"HAGANE NO MOONSAULT! RABBIT! TANK! YEAHHHH!"
The two half armour snapped together into one as Yuuma became Kamen Rider Build.
A few Guardians noticed Build they attacked both him and Ange, the scientist charged in with his drill sword. Slashing them down the Norma princess shoots a few with her gun while fighting in close combat.
The Mirage Smash joins and takes down one Guardian robot before Build charges at him but suddenly multiplies himself and around the area, shocking him and Ange, they aim their sword and fire at them.
Both Build and Ange split up as they dodged the bullets, Ange maneuver managing to dodge them so easily as Build struggled as all of them swiftly attacked him in speed with the sword as one appeared behind swinging his sword downwards.
Build rolls onto the ground as he looks and sees the Mirage Smash disappear with just one now. "I get it now, you split yourself huh? Interesting!" he said, intrigued.
"You take an interest in that monster trying to kill us!" Ange shouted at him.
But Build said otherwise. "I know that and that's why I have this one just in case," Build taking the two new bottles the orange hawk and the gray minigun front.
He shook both before turning the cap on each bottle replacing his original bottle and inserting his new ones into his Driver.
"TAKA! GATLING! BEST MATCH!"
Build crank the hand as the set appears the tub now flows with orange and gray liquid, the orange liquid for the armour at the front and the gray liquid forms the other half of the armour from behind.
"ARE YOU READY?"
"Build up!" he shouted out loud.
"TENKUU NO ABARENBU! HAWKGATLING!"
Both half-halves snapped together as one as Build new form is on his right arm his left leg is orange with a hawk head shoulder pad, and his left arm is gray with a wearer square shoulder pad and a forearm. His right leg is gray, and his left leg is orange. His chest on the right is orange with a wing at his upper left, and the left side is gray with bullets lined up, and two wings to fly on his back. His helmet is half orange and gray, with his left eye orange a hawk's, and his right eye gatling up as an antenna. This is Kamen Rider Hawkgatling.
"HAWKGATLINER!"
Appearing in his hand is the orange gun, the Hawkgatliner. "Now I got the winning formula!" he said, sliding his left hand on the orange side hawk wing visor.
The Mirage Smash split into two and disappeared as Guardian robots reinforcements arrived and attacked both Build and Ange, the enemies are everywhere now. But Build managed to shoot down a few Guardian and Mirage Smash clones as he fired shots of small hawk bullets flying towards them and shot them down.
Build then just up a summersault while firing his Hawkgatliner at the Guardians and Mirage Smash clones. He then slides down on the ground through the Guardians jumps up and fires at the Mirage Smash clones.
"Holy crap" Ange was astonished and intrigued by his gun as it was a lot better than hers.
Then they notice the Mirage Smash clone multiple times outnumbering them and jumping up to the sky. "Guess I have to find the real body" Build shrugged before spinning his Hawkgatliner revolver.
"TEN! TWENTY! THIRTY! FORTY! FIFTY SIXTY! SEVENTY! EIGHTY!"
While doing there he flew up following them as the multiple Mirage Smash opened fire at him as he kept his focus. "Not done yet!" he shouted before finishing the charge.
"NINETY! ONE HUNDRED! FULL BULLETS!"
Once Build was in the centre a sphere of a graphic line appeared in the energy field as his Hawkgatliner was charging up at the tip and aimed with both grips. "Go!" he hollered, firing dozens of laser hawks shooting down the Mirage Smash clones simultaneously as they all exploded in green smoke.
Build flew back down as he turned to see the real Mirage Smash lying in pain as
Ange walked up to him amazed by Build gun as it could fire more than one bullet by spinning the revolver. "Damn, what kind of gun do you have?" Ange asked.
"One of a kind" he replied before taking an empty bottle and pointing at him sucking up all the energy reverting this Mirage Smash to an ordinary human.
But Ange was shocked as the Mirage Smash turned out to be the man that blackmailed her parents Kane lying on the ground unconscious. "You!" she growled pointing her gun at him.
"Wait, what're you doing!" Build asked.
"This man was responsible for my mother's death and ruined my life. I'm going to kill this bastard!" she shouted angrily and was about to fire at but Build stopped her gripping his hand on her gun. "What the hell are you even doing!"
"You can't do that!" Build decline of her action.
"You're defending this criminal!"
"I know, as soon as he wakes up he'll ask in demand and turn into the authority. If you have brain cells killing him won't get the answer you are looking for! We have to keep him alive!" Build explained.
"And just that you are the saviour of this crappy country!" Ange was still angry and would not listen.
As they argued they heard another noise nearby they looked around to see who it was.
Meanwhile at Gene's office at his desk in his hand is a light blue bottle with a picture of a rocket. "So Stalk decided to take action now," he said. "Guess your time's up, Angelise."
Back with the two as they look around to see who is there, Build reverts to his original self, but that is a bad idea as Yuuma looks around. "Gah!" he gawked, struck by a wire behind his back and removed it, causing him to collapse.
"Hey! Are you okay!" Ange kneeled to see what was happening to him.
Then she smoothes, coming as a giant cobra-like creature appears and swallows Kane's entire body and slithers away, her eyes widened in fear, pulling her gun into the open. "Who's there? Show yourself!" she hollered.
Soon someone walked out of the shadow and standing in front of Ange and Yuuma was a man wearing a similar suit as Night Rogue. Still, in red, stinger wired like a snake tail vambraces on both forearms, dark gray chest armour, around his neck the pipe acted as a scarf-like at the front, his helmet red with a tub on his forehead and his mask and chest as the green cobra visor.
"Who the hell are you!" Ange demanded.
Yuuma narrowed his eyes as he saw it was a blur before he passed out from the poison. "C-Cobra?" he muttered, barely noticing what the attacker looked like.
"Get him better from my poison," he said before walking off.
"Poison?" Ange repeated the last sentence he said and knew what was happening to him. "Hey, are you okay? Just hang in there!" She shouted not to die.
Yuuma then took his phone out. "Here, use the map on my phone to get back to the Ian cafe" he grumbled before passing out as Ange shook his shoulder shouting at the scientist.
At Arzenal as the place has been at its regular times since Ange left some think she will never return here again as she is hated by all of the Norma there. It was nighttime in their room of Salia, she was at her desk with a laptop and the lamp on, and her roommate Vivian was sleeping on her bed hammock.
Salia is now captain of her squad since the previous one was killed in action from the last mission when Ange started. "Capitan log 23 as captain it's my job to make sure this squad is in tip-top shape and ready for any Dragon attack. Though Azrenal was recently under attack by a mysterious bat guy and a monster known as Smash, their origin is unknown to where they came from, one of my squad Vivian was turned into one and nearly killed her own squad but was saved by a mysterious man named Build."
"We tried to get an answer from that human but Norma Ange got in the way letting him escape, I still wondered why she did that until a human named Gene showed us a newspaper of her and Build were on it" Salia stops writing and breath wonder why she was there before remembering the last mission Ange was in and disappear with Vilkyss.
She then continued writing her report. "I wonder why she was there for some reason in that country until Jasmine told us that this human Build helped her escape from the authorities and get her out of there" She stops writing.
"That human helped Ange escape" she muttered but could not believe this Build helped her, a Norma to escape from the authority, though she was suspicious of his motive of helping her.
"Jasmine explained to us about that country that was an incident that broke that country apart and it had something to do with a box from space called Pandora Box"
(Flashback)
In the classroom, Norma's kids learn from their teacher about dragons and how to protect humans. Salia and her squad use the room as the old lady Jasmine explains to the squad about the country of the three Capitals.
"After an incompetent human places his hand on the Pandora box, the ground erupts. A massive wall that can reach to the sky, known as the Sky Wall, is formed. Henceforth, the country becomes a nightmare because of that incident," Jasmine explained the story of that country.
"Wow, a box did that!" Vivian said surprised.
"How could box split that county into three?" Ersha wondered.
"Yes the country there was split into three capital nations: Touto, Hokuto, and Seito are known as the Three Capitals of Skywall, not only that but that country no longer uses the Light of Mana" Jasmine added.
"The squad gasped in shock at what the old lady said about the country as their Light is Mana only to discover that the county Mana is gone. "You mean their Light of Mana no longer works there?" Salia asked.
Jasmine nodded to clarify. "Indeed after retrieving the Pandora Box and Sky Wall this incident causes their Mana to disappear forever," she said.
"Those humans made a big mistake by bringing that silly box here," Hilda said uninterestedly as Chris and Rosalie agreed.
"The people of that country brought that upon themselves," Emma said, the human whose words everyone was tired of hearing. "As soon as the Sky Wall appeared, all of their Light of Mana disappeared. No one there used it against them, and they became a vile, savage, lawless country that has ever lived. They became isolated, and every kingdom cut off connection with them to prevent infection from the cause they brought upon this world," she explained.
Then Jasmine coughs, getting the squad's attention. "Yes, the people of that country lost the Light of Mana. They started to turn against each other for survival, tearing each other apart" The squad would not care for Humans though but still couldn't stop shaking the feeling that the country was in crisis.
"How did they even survive without Mana?" Vivian asked.
"That's observed no one in the light of mana would rather die than live without one" Emma retorted before walking out of the room.
"You know, she does have a point. I mean, no human would ever live without the Light of Mana, they would rather kill themselves if that happens," Rosalie said.
"Yeah, that's crazy," Chris agreed. He thought it sounded ridiculous, especially for the humans who will never use Mana again.
As the squad agreed it would be ridiculous, especially for humans, Jasmine added, "Yeah, it does sound ridiculous. But don't let your guard down just because they are human. That Build guy did manage to get away from Arzenal. Let's make sure he doesn't come back here again."
(Flashback ended)
"Whatever happens to that country has become one of the squad members. Ange still can't work together, she just does whatever she wants. When Salia thinks of Ange, who has Vilkyss, she wants to pilot it for her life but declines, as Jill forces her not to use that Paramail each time. Salia fails but still wants to use it."
"Even when Ange returned to us, something had changed," she recalled. The sudden strength Ange displayed nearly killed Hilda. "The strength she had suddenly gained upon returning to Arzenal from the country Touto." She paused, reflecting on the day Ange demonstrated her newfound strength by breaking a rock.
"Where the hell did Ange get that stronger and what exactly happened to you when you were there?" she wondered of Ange.
Yuuma narrowed his eyes as he saw it was a blur before he passed out from the poison and was about to die.
Yuuma's eyes slowly opened as he slightly saw where he was. It was just a blur as the only thing he saw was light. "W-where am I, am I in heaven?" he muttered weakling.
"Not, but I wish" he heard Ange's voice before his vision became clear and he saw her and Ian in the underground laboratory.
"W-what happened to me?" he asked, still feeling the sores from the poison.
"Someone poisoned you and took that Kane guy, luckily your friend here saved your life, you should be grateful for her" Ian explained to him.
But Yuuma looks at Ange still angry. "I'm not so sure "
"The bastard got away with help from that cobra guy" Ange scowled with her arms crossed for that guy Kane to get away.
"Cobra? Oh right, that he kinda reminded me of Night Rogue" he remembered now and started thinking about the attacker that poisoned him and felt he knew him from somewhere.
Just all of a sudden, he was attacked by someone and tackled in the stomach. It was revealed to be Coco, with tears coming from her eyes. "You're awake! I thought you would never wake up again!" she cried, relieved that he was alive.
"It's okay, Coco. Don't worry, I'm alive," he said, calming her down and gently patting her on the head.
The scientist noticed something about Ange. Her eyes were shaded dark, her lips were biting, and staring at Coco reminded her of what happened to her when she came to Arzenal on her first mission. She got the two young comrades as well as the previous captain killed by the DRAGONS.
"Hey, are you okay?" Coco asked, leaning towards her.
But then Ange sat from her chair pulling her gun at her. "STAY AWAY FROM ME!" she exclaimed.
"Woah! Woah! Woah! What are you doing!" Ian shouted, raising hands to stop her.
"Who are you!" she demanded
Coco shivers in fear at her. "I-I don't know are you!" she quivered.
"Just shut up! I'm asking you who you are!" she kept shouting demanding to her as she looked exactly like Coco back in Arzenal. "Why are you here? Who are you? You died!" she demanded.
Coco was still scared of that girl she had never met, but for some reason, she narrowed her eyes as if she recognized her but couldn't put her finger on where.
"I think you should leave this room. I think the adults need to talk to this young lady," Ian persuaded Coco, and she understood, nodding before heading upstairs.
Ange turned her head, glaring at both of them. "I'm not a little girl. I'm eighteen," she growled at Ian as if he was a little girl.
"You just lost the privilege of using this gun in my cafe," Ian said, taking her gun away.
"Hey, give it back!"
"Just calm down!" Yuuma shouted, calming her. "Look, now that you're here can you tell me about that girl?" he asked.
"That thing isn't her, she's supposed to be dead, I saw her die!" Ange replied out loud.
Yuuma remembered what happened at Arzenal when she saw Coco freaking out and aiming her gun after being reverted from a Smash monster. "Tell me everything," he asks once more.
Ange put down her weapon and explained to them what had happened back when she was at Arzenal. She explained how she met Coco, a young Norma in her squad along with another one named Miranda, and how she got herself and the other two teammates killed in action during their fight against the Dragons, all just to use the Paramail to go home.
Both men heard what they heard from the Norma Princess's story in shock as two of her comrades and her previous captain were killed because she wanted to return home.
"So what I'm saying is that girl can't be, she died, I saw it because of it," Ange said.
Yuuma's eyes were a shade dark after hearing the part about her killing two of her team members. "You kill three of your friends because you wanna go home. Why would you do that!" he shouted getting up from his bed.
"Calm down, just don't let your anger out," Ian shouted, holding Yuuma from attacking her.
"I don't care what you think. That girl over there is not what I think! It's just not possible," Ange said through gritted teeth, clenching his fist. "And for the record don't you think it's crazy that Norma like me and the rest of them are forced to fight Dragons?
Yuuma froze and tilted your head down. "I know about the story, it is top secret to the world, I'm a genius, but you got them killed because of you Coc-!"
"Don't you ever say that name!" Ange shouted, interrupting Yuuma's sentence. "I mean it, she's a fake, I know it!"
Yuuma narrowed his eyes when he saw Coco's name and it hit his head. "Oh I get what's going on, since she has that face, you're probably scared a princess who is now a Norma is scared!"
"Just shut up,"
"Admit you got them killed because of your carelessness!"
"Why you son of a bi-!"
Then a bang came from the microwave shocking everyone as Ange pointed her gun and saw the smoke.
"Oh bottle! Bottle! Bottle! Bottle! Bottle!" he rushes over excitedly and picks out of the microwave. The bottle is now purple with a picture of a four-star shape. "A ninja with their ability speed to strike down any enemy in the shadow!" he said smiling.
"Ninja? The hell is that?" Ange asked.
"What, you never heard of ninja? Oh yeah since you this country has been cut off from the world after the Skywall incident" he said. "They are quick and master of hiding in the shadows. They are known as our assassins," he said, imitating a ninja Ange blinked dumbstruck by how he acted as if he was supposed to be the smart one.
Just then the machine explodes with smoke coming out, Yuuma rushes to the fire hydrant and puts out the smoke. "Damn it not again! Now I have to find another," he shouted.
Ange coughed waving her hand to blow the smoke. "Tell me using that machine was really necessary?" she asked.
"You know I was wondering I never said this but what are those bottles? Do they have some kind of powers, where do they come from?" she asked him.
"Yeah, that's the question I wonder as well, I was wondering about those, as they linger in my mind," he explained. "Remember whatever gas was in it changed the states of our bodies. With the bottles it made us use abilities like your strength increases your strength and my increased speed" he took his Rabbit bottle and Ange looked at her Dragon bottle.
"So, what happened when we were in just by that gas?" she asked.
"Yeah, at least you didn't get the side effect since mine was erased," Yuuma said until he narrowed his eyes, causing the scientist to rethink. "But when I was poisoned I did see a fragment of my memories and I noticed something when I was in that laboratory" he cups his chin trying to remember that day.
"And what would be that panel on that looks like the Pandora box" he replied remembering his fragment of his memes with Night Rogue and seeing the same black square plate as his.
"What does that have anything to do with it?" she asked who didn't believe what he said.
Then Yuuma shows Ange a video footage on his computer of the event in the Sky Wall incident with the press conference. He zooms it closer to get closer at the Pandora Box and identifies the panel lays.
"Yep, there's also a panel. I apply a special filter to dampen the light from the Pandora Box," he explained. He uses different layers of red, blue, and green on the Pandora Box panel to make them distinct.
"And where did you get this?" she asked.
"I hacked through Touto's private network files and found it" he replied Ange blinked when he said and broke into their next hardcore security network like it was nothing.
"The panel pattern looks scaly like the Pandora Box and with that the technology that would turn anyone into gain superpowers just like the Smash. It's beyond our scope of science or even the light of mana, it might have something to do with it since it did come from Mars" he said before taking a marble as it rolled down the track before getting stopped by another marble.
"And what's your point?" Ange asked.
"I think I know who's doing this to us and a lot of people, I think I see the fragment of the name, Faust" he replied.
Ange eyes widen in shock when he mentions that last word as that is the same word Kane mentions. "Did you say Faust?" she asked.
(Elsewhere)
In an unknown base, a laboratory with hazards, people with masks fell as they were freaking out. They were ordered to inject the same man, Kane, who then went on a rampage. He was surrounded by black smoke and transformed into a Smash monster, but different this time. His armour was a yellow square, he had a half zip zap lining edge around his neck, a yellow chest with tubs, long finger-like wires on his left hand, and a Sword in his right hand. He became the Square Smash.
As he let out a roar, creating a wave, other people, who were also experiments, were chained down on beds in agony. Night Rogue, the one in charge, checked the human experiment and noted, "It seems a second dose results in fundamentally different power," before clapping off an experiment.
The Square Smash growled and attacked Night Rogue, but Night Rogue caught his fist, flipping him over. Night Rogue then jumped up and hung on the ceiling before shooting Square Smash with his gun and gliding down. Square Smash tried to fight back, but it was too late as Night Rogue impacted his chest with a punch, pinning him down. Night Rogue then asked, "Our goal is creating a powerful lifeform powerful enough to replace Norma's existence. What would happen if a human were exposed to a Smash essence and was given another dose?" He then pointed his gun at Square Smash's head, grinning, "I think we should test that definitely?" He expressed interest in the upcoming experiment.
At the underground laboratory, Ange was shocked when Yuuma said that last part when he mentioned the same word as Kane.
"Faust?" She repeats that word.
"You know what that means?" he asked.
"No, but that Kane guy said it"
"Kane, the one that your mother mentions," Ange nodded to her question.
"He said he did this for Faust? But still, I wanna beat the hell out of him, I don't care if he did that crap, all I want to know is why he did it!" she shouted at Kane who was responsible for her mother's death.
Yuuma was worried about avenging her mother, but she was curious about the connection between this man Kane and the group known as Faust. "I understand you're upset, but I think we should locate this Kane guy and get any information he has about Faust," he suggested before heading to the computer to search for Kane's identity and details. After finding a picture of him, he said, "Here's Kane Maruzi. It looks like this guy has a criminal record for breaking into, obstructing public property, and attempting to escape the outside world." The last part caught his attention.
"Wait, this Kane guy tries to leave this country?" Ange was a bit suspicious of this man leaving here. "Where the hell does he live?"
"He's in, oh…Hokuto," Yuuma replied, reading his address.
"What's wrong, he lives in that place, so let go," Ange said and got going already.
"I know a way to get in but there is a problem with Hokuto," he replied as Ange stopped and looked confused about what he said. Unknown to them Coco was listening to their conversation.
It was nighttime now as by the harbour bay Yuuma and Ange headed there, getting on a boat drove down the ocean water and headed towards the red line letting them enter as they were now in Hokuto territory.
Once they enter, they walk down the streets in disguise, concealing their identity from civilians as delivery men hauling a giant box. However, little do they know that someone is right behind them, following their trail.
"So this is Hokuto," Ange said, observing the nationals it was not as terrible as Touto. "Though this place has barely anyone here. Is this some farm?"
"Hokuto is known to have its agricultural and harvest throughout our land," Ange blinked in confusion about what he said. "In a way, it's a farm, unfortunately, it's not looking good after the Sky Wall Incident."
"So why the hell are we here?" she asked.
"Kane's only family member is his wife, Merry, so that's where we should head," Yuuma explained. "We might get answers from her, or find out where he could be," he said. "And don't even think about killing him."
"That guy got my mother killed and you expect me to spare his life!" she shouted at him furious.
"Let's just hear him out first, even if you kill him what else can you accomplish?" Yuuma asked her.
"I don't care, that bastard is gonna die" she growled gritting her teeth.
Soon they arrived atb the location of an apartment, they looked through every floor for her address and found it. "Now make sure no one spots us, it might not be suitable for someone like you," Yuuma says to her to stay on guard, Ange despises that plan, especially avoiding attention if Kane's wife calls the authorities.
He knocked on the door and waited until someone answered, opening it and revealing it was a woman known as Merry, Kane's wife. "Yes," she responded.
"Hello, Mrs. Maruzi" The woman narrowed her eyes to this young man and his partner as Ange avoided eye contact. "There's something I wanna ask you a few questions about if you let me in," he asked properly.
Though Merry was suspicious of the young man, she decided to let him into her apartment and left Ange to stand guard.
Meanwhile, inside the apartment, Yuuma and Merry sat on the couch and started conversing about Merry's husband, Kane. "Do you know anything about your husband, Kane?" Yuuma asked.
"Why would you ask me that?" Merry asked with her eyes shaded dark. "You lying, my husband stopped being a criminal a long time ago"
"Stop being a criminal?" Yuuma muttered in confusion. "Can you tell me about him?"
Merry looked down letting out a breath and decided to explain. "We want to leave here, not from Touto, not Seito, he wants to move into the Misurugi Empire," she said.
Yumma blinked in response to what she said. "What do you and Kane want to live in the Misurugi Empire?" he asked.
"Yes, we want to sell our farm garden to the outside world so we can bring happiness, but when the Sky Wall appears everything changes. We did come to Misurugi, but everyone rejected us because we were from Hokuto, one of the countries with the lost Light of Mana. They call us freaks, and send their authority to send us back here" she explained as tears were flowing remembering that day.
Hearing her story, Yuuma felt sorry for her and Kane but still wondered why they wanted to live there when the outside world hated Normas. "Tell me more, you guys stay here, you should move somewhere else like Touto," he asked.
"We can't leave without our identification," Merry said, wrapping her arms around her stomach in worry. "Hokuto nation is in a poor state but still controls this capital. We can't leave; they'll force us back. No matter what, Hokuto will keep this place as a prison. Kane tried to get us out of this city, but it was useless. He ended up coming back to his life of crime. I tried telling him to stop, but Kane just wouldn't listen. Then, one day, he disappeared, and no one knew where he was."
"Do you know where he is?" she asked.
Ange overhears their conversation while on patrol knowing that someone is watching her until she notices and walks up to check leaving her post. "Okay you've been following us, show yourself!" she shouted and saw who the follower was.
She was suddenly grabbed and pinned down as the followers revealed to be Guardians.
"Norma Ange you under arrest arrest arrest arrest!" the Guardian robot said before repeating the same word at the end but the face plate had a circuit.
"What is going on with those things?" Ange growled before recognizing the face from a previous encounter in Arzenal. She took out her Dragon bottle and engaged in combat, deflecting with her hand and landing a punch that boosted her strength.
Then a few more came, attacking Ange trying to fight back but were outnumbering her, she prepared to take them all on with her arms up.
But then all of them were shot down revealing to be Yumma his drill in gun mode. "Hey, are you okay!" he asked before noticing Coco.
"Those damn robots attack us, probably someone called me?" Ange explained what happened.
Yuuma looks at the damaged Guardian. "Wait, why's a Guardian from Touto here? They shouldn't be here then" he noticed something off in the suit the robot wore by his Capital. Ange was confused about what he said.
"Y-you!" they heard someone shout Merry was in shock and took her phone out to call the authorities.
Ange quickly acts and tries to stop her. But Yuuma uses his rabbit bottle to speed up and knocks her behind with a karate chop. "Get her in the car" he shouted as Ange blinked when he did that.
Soon they arrived at the harbour using a Merry car as they had her at the back with Ange.
"So, I can't believe you did that," Ange said.
"I did not hurt her until that happened" Yuuma sighs. "Unfortunately we've discovered we gotta get back in Touto before it's too late."
Just then a Guardian Robot appeared at the car shocking them all and saw a timer on its head. "Wait, that….a bomb!"
"What!" both girls shouted and saw a bomb on
Yuuma moved the car to the side to shake it off but still held on to the rooftop as it was nearly seconded.
Just then there was someone at the boat Ange's eyes widened in gasp. "Y-You?!" she looked at who it was and it was Coco.
"Coco! What are you doing here, you should stay at Ian Cafe!" Yuuma shouted.
Coco noticed them coming into the car. "Ah, hi," she said, waving her hand.
"You know how to start the boat, hurry!"
Coco blinked in confusion, noticed the situation, and got to the controller. "I-I don't know how to start!" she said with no clue how to start a boat.
"Turn the red key and pull the lever down to start the motor!" She listened as he found the red key on the engine, turned it, saw the lever nearby and pulled down, starting the boat as it moved. "Now what?"
"Just keep moving!" he shouted before turning to the back. "We're gonna have to jump out,".
"Jump! Are you insane, of course you are!" Ange shouted.
"Trust me!" Yuuma pressed down his feet and accelerated the car's speed as the timer of the Guardian was nearly up as it was twenty seconds. "Get ready! Make sure Merry is with you! Jump" he instructed them counting down and jumping out of the car as Ange grabbed Merry's unconscious body and landed on the boat.
As the Guardian timer counts down to zero. The car sinks into the ocean and explodes with water spray out.
"And we're safe!" Yuuma shouted before turning to Coco. "Why are you even here Coco?"
"S-sorry" Coco apologized.
"Doesn't matter, you did come here when we were in trouble but don't do that again" Yuuma said while driving the boat back to Touto territory.
Yuuma calls Ian so that he knows he and the others return safely. "That's good to hear, I was also worried about where Coco was, anyways I gotta get to work, I'll see you home," Ian said before the call was off.
As Yuuma drives the boat he looks at his phone, sees a photo and looks concerned. "What's up with you?" Ange asked.
"Nothing, just thinking is all," Yuuma replied before receiving a text and reading it.
'A Smash has been sighted at the harbour. He's been experimented on twice, so if you don't take his essence soon, he'll die. Think he'll last for three hours? Fight him'
"What the hell?" Yuuma narrowed his eyes in suspicion of that text and then saw the words below. "Blood Stalk?"
They arrived at the harbour, got off the boat and returned to Touto. Yuuma and the other return, taking Merry, but once she regains consciousness, she is taken back when she recognizes Ange, the murderer of the dead.
"You, I know you! The killer of Yuno!" Merry shouted in fear.
"Yuuma set up. "Just talk down!"
But Mery acts in self-defence grabbing a wrench as her weapon. "You! You're with that killer aren't calling the authorities and get all of you arre-!"
"Look out!" Yuuma rushed in and grabbed her as the wrench was sliced in two.
They see that the Square Smash roars out on a rampage and attacks the group, avoiding his attack. But he was letting out a scream of agony as his body was covered in black smoke, the half box around his neck covering his head not that it was a fully square box.
Yuuma took out the Gorilla bottle and Diamond bottle shaking both as a mathematical equation appeared from his side. "Take Merry somewhere safe, I'll deal with the Smash," he said.
Ange grumbles hating the idea of helping but Coco helps and gets Merry somewhere safe as the Norma Princess follows them.
Yuuma inserted both bottles into his Driver.
"GORILLA! DIAMOND! BEST MATCH!"
Yuuma cranks up the lever as the set materializes with him inside it the liquid flows through the tube forming into split armour.
"ARE YOU READY!"
"Henshin!" he shouted as the two armour snapped together.
"KAGAYAKI NO DESTROYER! GORILLAMOND! YEAH!"
He becomes Build in Gorillamond form and charges in combat with his strength-boosted landing a few hits and deflecting Square Smash sword with his left arm indestructible diamond. He had the advantage as Build landed a powerful punch that sent Square Smash flying.
Square Smash got back up and drew a lining from the cargo load and the ground creating large square objects and sending a bunch of them at Build, he deflected with his strength before punching his gorilla gauntlet fist creating an eruption line from the ground.
The Square Smash made another square as he jumped up and disappeared. Build wondered where he was until Square Smash reappeared from behind and swung his sword sending the scientist to the ground.
"He's so cool!" Coco said with stars sparking as Ange just watched.
Unknown to everyone the same red-suited man who poisoned Yuuma was lying on a porch bench holding a sniper, he gets up and sees the two fighting. "I guess it's time then," he said, setting his sniper and turning the red faucet.
"DEVIL STEAM!"
He opens fire sending a red bullet laser flying and impaled Square Smash. They all see what is happening to him as Square Smash's body has steam coming out and suddenly grows as he becomes a giant.
"What the hell!" Build gasped seeing that before avoiding his step.
He decided to take two bottles, shake them, replace his other bottles and insert the other ones into his Driver.
"RABBIT! GATLING!"
Now Build armour change with the half-red rabbit armour and the gray gatling armour. Using his left leg spring he jumps around avoiding the giant Square Smash attacks while firing both Hawkgatliner and drill gun mode, but was swept by his sword.
Build standing back up to fight. "That Smash receives a new type of gas treatment" he heard a voice.
"Who's there!" he shouted.
"Wait, that voice" Ange muttered and recognized the voice as if it was the same person that poisoned Build.
"Even if he survives, there is a side effect to the gas, do what you can to save Kane?" Once the voice was gone, Build kept looking at where the man was coming from but lost focus as Smash thrust his left fist at him.
The scientist used both guns to deflect but got impacted by the sword, sending Build flying into a wall.
"Wait, Kane" Merry gasps looking at that monster. "That's…Kane…..what happened to you" she broke down to tears.
Coco saw this and felt sad for the woman but Ange did not care and tried to ignore her.
Build struggles to get up but with the impact from the wall he is badly hurt, the giant Square Smash approaches to strike him down raising his left fist to squash as he is about to finish him off. But then his drill in sword mode appeared out of the piece to the back, Build and the giant Square Smash looked and saw it was Ange who threw it with her Dragon bottle to increase the strength.
"Princess!" Build gasped witnessing her doing something heroic.
"Just take him down now before it's too late!" Ange shouted.
"Understood," Build nodded, removing the bottle and shaking two more bottles. He reused the Gatling bottle but inserted the Hawk bottle into his Driver.
"TAKA! GATLING! BEST MATCH!"
Build crank the hand as the set appears and split armour was formed.
"ARE YOU READY?"
"Build up!" he shouted out loud.
"TENKUU NO ABARENBU! HAWKGATLING!"
He becomes Hawkgatling form, jumping up spreading his orange wings and soaring into the sky.
"I've got the winning formula!" Build said, sliding his left finger on his orange visor and flicking his hand then firing his Hawkgatlinger.
Square Smash raised his left arm as the ground erupted of stacked squares, Build kept firing and sent a bunch of projections of small hawk birds at him. Then Build spun the Hawkgatliner revolver.
"TEN! TWENTY! THIRTY! FORTY! FIFTY SIXTY! SEVENTY! EIGHTY! NINETY! ONE HUNDRED! FULL BULLETS!"
The giant Square Smash is now trapped inside the sphere of a graphic line that flows up with him in it, Build aims his Hawkgatlinger and opens fires. The giant Square Smash screamed out and then exploded with green smoke.
"Yes!" Coco shouted jumping up in victory as Merry was still in awe.
The Square Smash fell shrinking down to normal size Build landed down safely removing his bottles and reverting to his normal self. "Thank you for the help Princess," Yuuma replied thankfully.
Ange grumbled at those nicknames. "Well, let's just say it's payback for saving me," she said blushing.
Yuuma just smiles happily as she scowls and looks away. He takes an empty little at the Square Smash and absorbs his essence.
But once the Smash was turned back into a human, the two recognized Kane, the same guy that became Mirage Smash and now a Square Smash, as he was just lying on the ground.
The group returned back home to the underground laboratory and Yuuma let Kane rest on the bed for hours. He also tells Ange not to kill him, the Norma Princess has the urge to kill him but decides to listen and wait for Kane to wake up. An hour went by until Kane slowly got up and finally woke up.
"Good you awake," Ange said so she could pummel Kane for everything with her mother. "You remember me, my mother and father were royalty until you ruined it!"
"Who are you?" Kane replied, removing her hand and walking away.
"Are you joking this is no joke. I'm Ange ... .Angelise Ikaruga Misurugi of the Misurugi empire" introduces herself to the humans.
But Kane was completely scared of her. "Just who are you? Who am I!"
This engages Ange as the death of her Mother flows into the memories she grabs Kane's neck and shouts at him. "Quiet screaming around you son of a bitch! My mother is dead because of you! You ruin everything!"
Then Merry came down to the laboratory and saw the commotion. "Honey! Stay away from him, you murderer!" she shouted pushing Ange away and checking on his husband.
Kane crawled away from his wife, leaving her bewildered by his actions. Yuuma intervened and explained, "I'm sorry, but your husband Kane has lost his memories. He won't recognize you." Merry was shocked by this revelation. Kane, the man responsible for exposing Ange Norma and causing her mother's death, had lost all of his memories as a side effect, as the voice had said, and because of that, he can no longer explain his reason.
Merry approaches her husband's kenneling as she kneels to him but keeps backing away. "Please Kane it's me, Merry, your wife," she said as Kane still couldn't remember her. "You promised me to stop getting me out, you did everything you could to move us elsewhere," she said.
"I…don't know you" He replied barely knowing her with his mind erased.
"She loves you know" They all turn to Ange who is speaking suddenly. "But if that's your reason why you did all this then that's idiotic of you to do," she said harshly Merry was furious at what she said and expected a killer like her Yumma was about to stop her. "But if you really did this, then don't you dare make your wife sad! Including the child!" she shouted causing everyone to stop.
Ange remembers during the fight with Kane as Square Smash.
(Flashback)
As Square Smash rampages, Ange sees Merry collapse, covering her mouth and wrapping her left arm around her stomach
(Flashback ended)
"Your family is going to break if you keep that secret, trust me I know how that felt," Ange said and felt the family secret such as her mother and got her killed. "I may hate you for everything, but I'll let this one go. There is no point in asking you with your memories erased. But there is something I will say to you, don't make this same mistake if not, I'll knock you if you do that again! For now, just make her happy" she said.
Everyone was silent about what she said, Merry had not expected Norma or a killer to say that. But she still doesn't trust her after she is the suspect of Yuno's killer. "I don't expect a thank you, I'm a Norma after all you just be disguised of me"
Merry looks down as if she said it is true that Normas are outcasts in society. "I only see you as a killer, but a Norma, I don't think Norma is a monster anymore," she said as this got Ange stunned by what she said. "We've been cut off from the world so no one got their Norma baby taken away, without the Light of Mana no one can't tell who is a Norma anymore," she said tilting her head down Ange was completely awed by what this human woman spoke about her though of Norma here now.
"Although sometimes baby girls get kidnapped and disappear without a trace, and it normally at Hokuto"
"Y-you mean it" Ange gasped.
"Well, I still think you're the killer but I'll be thankful for the day," she said, focusing her attention on her husband who still can't remember.
But both husband and wife's faces show sad expressions with Merry's love for her husband Kane, he lost his memories he does remember the happy and loving time is now gone.
Then Yuuma decides to step up. "I'm sorry for what happened to your husband, but at least he's alive" he pointed out as he saved his life when he was endangered from being a Smash any longer. "But you can also make new ones, but if I'm correct the old memories might come back, just be with him," he said.
Merry looks at him and then at Kane before understanding what he means she approaches her amnesia husband. "Listen, Kane, I know. You and I are married and we're having a child one day" she said before wrapping her arms around and hugging her. "Don't worry, I'll take care of you" She said happily, Kane had no idea what to say but accepted as he hugged his wife and knew she would help.
Yuuma smiled upon seeing them so happy but Ange stood in silence, reminiscing about her parents smiling happily and remembering her mother back in her home.
(Flashback)
It was a month ago before she was revealed to be a Norma, she was in the garden of flowers and saw two people, Sophia and a man with blond hair, a goatee beard and blue eyes. This is Ange's father Jurai as the two parents smile at their daughter, she smiles back and reaches out to them.
(Flashback ended)
Ange gazes at her ring, then shifts her attention to the Dragon bottle she's holding, pondering her parents' secret.
"Let's go, I know somewhere you can be safe," Yuuma said as he helped Merry get Kane back up to his feet.
But then Kane suddenly started walking to the black square plate on the wall with the bottles attached and stared at them. "That bottle, they also got some too," he said as this got Yuuma's attention.
At the secret dark laboratory, Night Rogue was turning a bolted square that had the exact same black plate as Yuuma's place.
While placing the light blue rocket on the black plate, he demanded to know about Kane's disappearance. "Why haven't you found him yet, Stalk?" he shouted.
He hears footsteps as someone arrives and it is the red-suited man who poisoned Yuuma and sized the Square Smash into a giant. "I'm the game maker" he replied to Night Rogue's question. "I look at all the angles and come up with the best strategy. Everything's according to plan."
"GOOD! It's about time, I'm getting bored anyways" Then they heard another voice here, it was a female revealing to be a woman with a voluptuous body figure, long blonde hair that draped to her hips, and green eyes. she wore black jacket, hotpants shorts, and black boots, and on her body are tattoos of lip kisses on his right thigh, and left breast.
"Oh don't worry, you'll have your chance. Clone Z.A." Stalk said ensuring she gets her chance.
"Stop calling that stupid nickname. It's Zola" she said.
"If you hadn't retreated clone C.M. none of this would happen!" Night Rogue shouted angrily at her for losing another one.
"Relax, they don't know each other when we have Norma here," Stalk said showing the holographic screen showing every girl's picture identifying as Norma's. "And when he finds out, I'll take care of that," he said while a video footage of Build appeared he saw his sniper gun as it passed through it but showed he would kill him.
(Meanwhile back at the cafe)
Ian had just returned to his cafe when he heard crumbling noises coming from the laboratory. "What's going on? What's all the racket?" he asked. He saw the girls watching Yuuma as he used a hammer to break the wall around the black square plate.
"What are you doing? Stop, Yuuma! What are you doing?" he shouted, holding his arm and stopping Yuuma from further damage.
But Yuuma stops hammering and looks at Ian, he takes the black plate off and shows it back as it looks like the same design as the Pandora box sides.
Ange feels like she saw it and remembers the video footage of Pandora's panel popping out. "Wait, that looks like that video you showed me?"
"It's one of the panels of the Pandora box. Why do you have this!" Yuuma demanded shouting at Ian but he was silent and did not reply to his question. "Answer me!" he hollered at him kept questioning Ian as to why one of the Pandora box panels was here all this time. "Are you a member of Faust?" This got Ange the same question and suspicious if that human male is a member too.
Next time on Build: Crossing of Ange
Ange: Momoka!
Momoka: I came to serve you as your maid!?
Ian: I was from Faust
Yuuma: I guess you accounted for everything
Zola: Now you'll all die!
Hilda: Zola….!
And that's that, I hope you like this chapter and I'm sorry that I took so long for this chapter to come. Also in this chapter, Zola appears and returns from the dead just like Coco as the secret will come soon from the mystery. Also, one of the fanfics with Cross Ange and Power Rangers was written by Shuuya Toshiki, and this story is one of them as a cameo. That surprised me!
Also, there are some stories that I'm going to put on hiatus because whether I lost interest in some movie crossover and I should not write the next chapter any closer.
Ex-Aid: Gaming Chronicle (because the movie crossover is near and I'm planning to choose a different anime for Ghost fanfic because I lost interest with the Kamen Rider Ghost and Fairy Tail crossover. my reason for choosing Ghost and Fairy Tail is that I wanna try something new but lost it)
Geats: Battle Desire (lost interest and design a few more as I got one so far)
Drive: Bodyguard of Two False Lovers (Movie crossover coming near)
Sorry about this
See ya later.
