Chapter 5
"Inferno Slash!"
The red armoured creature was sliced in half by a flaming sword, its claws snapping wildly, but helplessly. It fell, exploding when it hit the ground, its lifeless dead eyes still not showing any emotion.
The source of the creature's sudden demise walked back towards the area of the explosion, having been pushed away from it due to the force of the blast and the direction he was going when he sliced the beast in half. The red warrior looked up at the sky, still a little wary after what had happened with the last one of these. It had been rescued by something from the sky that had put him in sickbay- granted, he thought, for nothing, but still, he'd rather not end up back there.
This lobster-y looking creature didn't seem to be as lucky, though. It had been the simplest mission yet- the area had been fairly empty from people, the creature hadn't been too much for him, and no forces from the sky had knocked him unconscious. If the next few were like this, he might be able to get some peaceful sleep for a few weeks.
His driver beeped, and an accented voice started speaking over it.
"You know, biolabs have told me to figure out a way to stop the things exploding when they die. They say that they could use some of its stuff to figure out new weapons or materials or something," The engineer said over the speaker, obviously only paying half (or less) of his attention to the rider considering the distracted tone in his voice.
"What did you tell them?" The warrior asked, removing the central gem from his driver. What was left after the armour shattered was a calm Gorou Sanagai, looking around for his motorbike, which the creature had tried to throw at him during their fight. It hadn't hit him.
"I told them you're so incompetent you'd figure out a way to blow them up anyway." He cut off the signal, and Gorou chuckled slightly, before finally spotting his bike. He started walking over to it, detatching his driver and putting it in his pocket in his jacket.
Something caught his eye as he walked. It was a small glow, like a torch being flipped quickly on and off. It was almost at the edge of his vision, but it was still noticed by his brain, and Gorou paused, not sure what to make of it. He turned his head to look for the source, but saw nothing. He examined it closely, scanning up and down with his eyes, still seeing nothing. He shrugged, and was about to walk off when a scuffling came from just to the right of the supposed location of the flash. Gorou span to look and saw the head of someone slipping down a slope, almost, but not quite, hidden by a bush.
Gorou followed as well as he could, pushing through the growth to chase the fleeing person. However, once he reached the shady bottom of the hill, he couldn't see a trace of them. No grass was crushed, no more noises were being made, and no sign could be seen of them. Gorou sighed- it was probably just some kid getting a picture or something. He knew he wasn't supposed to let anyone know about him, but taking care of this kid was someone else's problem now. He didn't see the point in sending an armoured warrior against a kid with a cell phone. He started making his way back up the hill and back to his bike, thinking the day was going slightly less well now.
"What did they look like, Gorou-kun?" Oshiro asked, the pair sitting in his office. He had his computer active on a desk, and was absent-mindedly taking notes as Gorou talked.
"I didn't see much of them, only the head. They looked kind of messy, though. Their hair was everywhere, but maybe that was just because of the bush he'd been hiding in." Gorou said, trying to remember.
"How old did they look?"
"I don't really have any idea. Older than about 10, maybe, but probably pretty young, considering how well they hid. What do you suppose they were doing?" Gorou asked- it was still bugging him slightly.
"Well, they were probably just after the publicity of a photo of the Kamen Rider. That's someone else's department that I am glad not to know much about." Oshiro sighed, his tone dark. "Let's just say that that photo probably won't last long."
"Could it have been someone interested in the monster?" Gorou asked. He'd had time to think about it, and considering he had no idea how long they'd been there, they could have photos of anything.
"No. No-one has interest in the monsters and the gems apart from us, Gorou-kun. Your picture would good in a hero article in the local paper or new site, while the monster would be useless, considering its dead now. You can't get an interview with a dead monster- or an alive one, considering their conversation skills." The old man took another sip of his tea, tapping a few more keys and sending off his report. "Anyway, that should be enough. I advise you go back to whatever it is you usually do around here."
Gorou stood up sighing. "That's not much," he growled, opening the door. "It usually involves the basement gym or television, considering the outsides is out-of-bounds."
Oshiro smiled sadly. "I'm sorry, but that decision's above my head. I'm sure we could let you out with Natsumi-chan sometime-"
"So basically with a guide to make sure I don't run off?" Gorou asked. Oshiro didn't answer, and Gorou just left through the door.
The old man sighed. "I don't blame you, Gorou-kun."
Natsumi, meanwhile, was at the store, buying technological parts for some gizmo she was building. She put down a part, muttering specifications under her breath. She picked up one next to it and put it in her basket. After doing this for a few more things, she bought the lot, and started walking out into the fairly empty, rainy street. She smiled, enjoying the feeling of the rain on her head. Her eye was caught by someone starting at her- a boy, standing at the end of the street. He looked about 19, but the discolouring He was wearing torn black clothes, had messy black hair, but his eyes were glowing blue. He blended into the background fairly well, and Natsumi wouldn't have noticed him if not for his eyes, directly fixated on her.
When he noticed her staring back at him, he turned and left down an alley directly behind him, and Natsumi followed, intrigued. When she got to the alley, she saw him standing there at the end, trying to hide in a shadow.
"Hello?" She asked tentatively. She wondered why he was staring- if he was interested in her, she could gently turn him down, and if he wanted to mug her, being hit in the head with a bag of metal parts hurt.
"What was that?" The boy asked, his voice deep and gravelly, but still inquisitive. That didn't stop it from sending some chills down her spine.
"What was what? I haven't done anything…" She replied, readying her hand. He didn't look like he would attack her, but he was facing away, so she couldn't see his face.
"That thing you did, with your face, when you were in the rain." He explained slowly, acting like Natsumi was an idiot. He quickly span to face her, and Natsumi swung with her bag. It hit him in the shoulders, and he was sent slamming into the wall, suddenly shouting in pain.
"Sorry!" She said, leaning in slightly to see him. He rose back to normal, still grimacing, but otherwise looking unharmed. "You aren't going to hurt me, are you?" She asked, keeping just out of reach.
"Why would I hurt you?" He asked, dusting off his shoulder, which was dusty from the impact. "You followed me."
"Because you were staring. People who stare don't usually have the best of intentions." Natsumi replied, slightly more at ease. While his manner didn't seem overtly threatening or dangerous, it didn't seem friendly either. It was cool.
"I was wondering what you were doing outside, in this rain. Especially the face you made."
"You mean smiling?" Natsumi asked, confused. The boy nodded once, turning around again.
"Yes, that. I had forgotten what it was called." He sounded happier now, as if he was glad to know,
"How could you forget about smiling?" She asked, smiling again for a reason she couldn't tell.
When he turned back to see her smiling again, he smiled himself. It wasn't big or bright, but it was there. He suddenly made a noise of pain, and grabbed his right kidney area, grimacing in pain.
Natsumi's eyes went wide, and she jumped over to help him. "Are you alright? Do you need me to look?"
"I'm fine." He responded, pushing her back weakly with his other hand. After a few moments, he stood back up, looking un-pained again. "You should leave." He said coolly, not making eye-contact with her.
"Not going to happen. I don't have anywhere else to be." Something had pricked Natsumi's suspicions with this person- there was something 'off' about him, and she couldn't tell what. With all the monster attacks, she supposed she should investigate any strange behaviour, however little chance there was of it being related to the attacks. "I'm Natsumi, by the way. And you are?"
He hesitated for a moment, obviously unsure. "My name… It's Akira." He said, nodding again. "I still think you should leave."
"And I already said I'm not leaving. Besides, we seem to be going the same way." She said, grabbing his arm and dragging him along. He didn't try to resist much, simply walking along with her.
"Where are you taking me?" He asked, with no worry in his voice- it was just a question like 'What time is it', rather than a panicked ask.
"I need one more supply, and then I was thinking about food. You up for that, Akira-kun?" She asked, letting go of his arm. She was fairly sure he wouldn't run.
"I-I have no money." He stumbled over his words, possibly surprised at how Natsumi was already talking to him as if they were close friends.
"I'll pay. I'd hate to see someone go hungry." She said, dragging him through the rain back towards the shops.
Half an hour later, the pair sat opposite each other at a small table, still drying, Natsumi hurriedly eating a small snack, and Akira holding a small drink. He looked more at ease than earlier, though still very awkward.
Natsumi looked up to see him staring at her again. "Do I have some on my chin?" She asked through a mouth of rice, the words coming out garbled. Akira smiled slightly, and then scowled, making a noise of pain.
"You sure you're alright?" She asked, hastily swallowing her food. "That's the second time that's happened. I can guess that's why you don't smile much, considering you don't even know the word."
Akira nodded. "That would be correct. You must be intelligent to realise that." He sounded distracted still. 'By the pain', Natsumi guessed.
"My knowledge lies with machines, not people. Although considering all the emotion you've shown, I guess that could apply to you, for all I know." She laughed slightly, Akira not joining in. It quickly died off.
"So what do you do?" Akira asked, sounding slightly invested this time.
"Electrics, mostly." For the first time in a long while, Natsumi stopped after only two words, not wanting to give away too much. This kid was still a stranger to be investigated, she reminded herself, not a friend.
"Is it interesting?" He asked, taking a sip of his drink.
"Sometimes. Well, most of the time. I really do love it." She smiled, but this time he didn't smile back. "What do you do, Akira-kun?"
He looked down at the table, not meeting her gaze. "Nothing."
She raised an eyebrow, her interest piqued again. "No college? No job? Nothing?"
"That is what I said." He replied coldly, looking up again.
"No, it's… it's fine." Natsumi said back, going back to eating her rice. After a few minutes of that in silence, the restaurant being empty apart from them, she spoke again. "What brings you to the town today?"
When there was no response, she continued anyway. "You said you have no money, and you don't seem to have bought anything already. I'd say you were out for the sun, but it was raining anyway."
"I like the rain." He said in response, cutting Natsumi off. She looked at him encouragingly, and, slowly, he began to speak. "I was out to get away from home. I just needed some space."
Natsumi's face took on a concerned look. "Are you alright there?"
He quickly shot down her concerns with, "It is fine. I just needed to go somewhere else for a while. Do you know how it is?" Natsumi nodded slowly in agreement. That was one of the reasons she had decided to leave today- mostly to get parts, but the Boss was in one of his moods, and Gorou had been practicing with his green form.
Her mobile phone suddenly rang, and when she picked it up to answer it, Oshiro's number was on the screen. "Sorry, I just need to take this…" She said to Akira, stepping up and going outside the restaurant to keep her privacy.
"Hello, Natsumi here."
"Natsumi-chan, we've got a bit of a situation." The old man sounded calm, but Natsumi had been around him long enough to know something was up. "It's about a possible leak."
"Leak? Who do you mean?" Her mind went over the people she knew- as far as she could guess none of them would leak anything.
"Gorou-kun was possibly photographed by a young child this morning. We don't think there was any harm meant in it, but the people at head office want any members of the organization to be on their guard, in case they're targeted."
Natsumi glanced back inside at Akira. He wasn't a young child, but he had been acting suspicious around her earlier. "Ok, Oshiro-san. I'll be careful. What do I do if, say, someone ambushes me?" She asked, trying to sound innocent.
"You shout for help, try and fight and hope someone calls us. Or you make sure to call us." His advice didn't sound very helpful, but she tried to sound appeased.
"Alright. Thanks for the warning. Do you think I'm in any danger?"
"I think, Natsumi-chan, that head office if over-reacting. There aren't any groups that want to hurt us- it was probably some foolish child on a dare. They were lucky that it didn't go worse for them."
"ALERT! ALERT!" Oshiro's voice was cut off by a harsh alarm, which made Natsumi jerk the phone away from her ear.
"Oshiro-san? What is it?" It didn't sound like the regular alarm, which intrigued her slightly."
"Natsumi-chan! Get out of there!" The old man shouted down the phone, sounding extremely panicked. "A beast has been detected extremely close to you! We've dispatched Gorou, but you could be in danger! Evacuate with as many pedestrians as you can!"
"But why the strange alarm?" She asked, moving into the restaurant swiftly to get Akira. She would have to leave the rest of her food, which was a shame. This place was nice.
"Does it matter?!" He shouted. She thought it did, but obviously not. "Just get out of there!" The signal was suddenly lost, and in the sudden quiet, Natsumi though she could hear the sound of something being smashed. Maybe she was just imagining it, she thought.
"Akira-kun, we need to go." She said quickly, grabbing her bags and pulling on his arm. He got up, still sipping his drink.
"Why?"
"A monster's attacking, and unless we want to die, we need to be as far away from it as possible." She said. She wasn't overly scared, having faced down a monster before, but she wasn't sure how he would react. Not to her surprise, he didn't seem to react at all.
"Very well," was his choice of words, and he followed her out of the building. The rain had gotten worse, building to the point of a storm, and it was hard to hear anything over the echoing sounds of hundreds of raindrops hitting the ground every second at high velocities.
"Which way?" He asked, shielding his eyes. Natsumi lead him left, intending to take him to a safe house. Even of that meant he ended up being questioned for being brought by her, at least he would be safe.
That plan was quickly dashed when her other friend, Gorou, was thrown through the wall in front of her, the glass windows shattering as his blue body crashed through them. On the other side of the two shop passageway which now existed stood a soaked, white beast. It looked like a whale, with thick skin and bloated appearance, and its arm ended in a corkscrewed staff, similar to a sword. If you squinted, it appeared to be similar to a narwhal. Natsumi was not about to squint at it, considering she had grabbed Akira and was running away, hoping it wouldn't follow them. Bellowing a low note, it began to do just that, running through the now-barren store fronts with ease, hitting Gorou in the face as he attempted to stand.
Gorou watched through blurred vision as his partner ran down the street, followed by the creature. Summoning his gun, he levelled a shot at a weak point on its neck and fired. When this did nothing, he scrambled to his feet, firing wildly. Enough of the shots hit that the creature paused in its pursuit, turning back towards Gorou. "Now that I've got your attention…" He started walking away from it slowly, firing at its face. It didn't respect Gorou's pace- it started running at full speed towards him, sword outstretched, not responding to the shots in pain. Gorou was forced to jump to the side to not be impaled, rolling back to his feet. He shot at the creature's chest, pushing it backwards.
Just as Gorou thought he was he was gaining the upper-hand, he was surprised. The creature swung its sword at him, a crescent of energy swinging through the air, straight at him. He jumped out of the way, but behind him, the energy curved and struck him in the back.
"Argh!" He shouted in pain, sparks flying from his suit. He lifted his arm to shoot, but the creature swung its sword again, and this time it hit him straight on. He shouted in pain, causing Natsumi to turn around and watch her friend. Akira turned too, intrigued by the shouting.
Gorou's armour shattered. He was left there, panting, driver emitting a small warning alarm. He swore loudly, obviously in pain. Natsumi stood there, unsure of what to do as the creature made a noise, sounding similar to laughter. It was taunting them. It slowly walked closer to Gorou's tired body, readying its blade. Natsumi couldn't fight it, and she knew there was no point in calling for back-up.
Which was why she was surprised when she saw a blur shoot from next to her, heading towards the creature. It took a second for her to realise it was Akira, running straight towards it. The creature was caught unawares. It was punched backwards by Akira with some force, hitting it away from Gorou. Natsumi ran over, looking shocked, staring at Akira. She helped Gorou to his feet as Akira stared down the creature, neither moving.
"Akira? What are you doing?" She asked, not receiving an answer.
"Aren't you the person from earlier?" Gorou coughed out, glaring angrily at him. Akira glanced back, frowning.
"I was told to watch you both. I didn't think I'd end up… distracted." He said, sounding distant. The creature readied its sword to slash at him, but Akira dashed forwards around the sword, hitting it in the arm, stopping its attack. It moved backwards warily.
"What do you mean 'watch us'?" Gorou asked, glancing at Natsumi. "What have you been doing with Natsumi?"
"He was staring at me… I didn't think he meant anything by it." She responded, still keeping her eye on the beast. "He seemed lonely and lost."
"So you thought you'd hang around with him?" Gorou asked, spluttering in surprise.
"I would not have harmed her. I was only told to watch, and I wouldn't have stayed with her if I had been able to leave." The beast rushed at him, and he punched it in the face, nimbly ducking from its blade. It continued towards the other pair, and Natsumi hit it with her bag, Gorou punching it with all his strength. It continued past them, bellowing, and the trio regrouped on the other side, Natsumi and Gorou behind Akira, who was facing away from them. The rain trickled to a halt as the group stood in silence.
"Who are you?" Gorou asked angrily, even if he didn't look that threatening supported by Natsumi.
Akira didn't answer, at least not in words. Instead, he summoned a thing from what looked like a pocket. It glowed black and it landed on his stomach, forming a black belt around his waist, with the glowing thing at the centre. He turned to look at the pair, and they could see his driver. And the gem inside it.
"I am that kaiju's worst nightmare."
He turned back to face the creature, which had grown a spine enough to bellow at them. It seemed apprehensive though, giving fearful looks at Akira, but especially the thing on his waist.
"What is the phrase, Sanagai-san?" He asked, crossing his arms over his circular driver.
"You should know, if you've been watching me." Gorou said in shock. There was a small pause, where another person would have smiled, before he spoke again.
"Henshin."
A black aura pulsed out of his driver, and when Akira pulled his arms back to his side, it grew suddenly to a violent cone surrounding him, obscuring the figure inside. After a few seconds, it sharply cut off, leaving a black armoured person standing there. The small amounts of gemstone on his torso and lower arms glimmered similarly to Gorou's, but his was deep black, with a sinister edge. It looked sleeker than Gorou's armour in all its forms, with a plainer helmet too. The eyes were the only non-black part in the suit, glowing bright red. The suit formed fully when a tattered black scarf emerged from the neck portion, fluttering behind him.
"I am Kamen Rider Shade." Akira's voice spoke from within, sounding menacing.
The creature didn't take notice. It finally decided to attack, jumping at him, sword outstretched. Akira grabbed it and pulled it towards him, sidestepping the tip. The creature was surprised by this tactic, and fell forwards, unready for Akira's fist hitting it in the back of the neck followed by a blow to the centre of the back. It tried to swing around, but Akira was faster- he stepped backwards from the blade, it sliding past him harmlessly.
Akira took the chance to grab the arm holding the blade, chopping it to try and get the creature to drop it. It responded badly, punching him in the head to make him let go. Akira was pushed backwards, grunting in pain, falling to the floor. He looked up to see the beast readying his sword for an energy attack, which was sent flying at him as soon as he saw it being readied. He rolled out of the way, the floor where he had lain being sliced up to form a cloud of dust, concealing him. The creature turned towards Gorou and Natsumi, who had been watching the attack fairly uselessly, and who were now thinking they should have been running. They were surprised when the creature started backing away from them, as if in fear.
"Move."
They spun around to see why the creature was surprised. Akira was standing in the shadows, walking towards them. They ducked to the side, and he charged at the beast, jumping at the last minute to avoid its sword and punching it between the eyes. His momentum carried him past it, the creature sending a shockwave after him. He landed in a shadow, but before he was struck, he melted into it, his eyes fading, leaving no trace of him. The wave hit the now-empty space, slicing a hole through the wall.
Akira jumped out of a shadow behind the beast, hitting it in the neck with a large amount of force. It fell to its knees, bellowing in pain. Akira took the chance to grab its arm, this time focusing his chop on the blade itself. It didn't let go, but Akira tried again, this time his wrist shrouding itself in dark energy. The sword shattered into many pieces this time, the creature roaring, throwing Akira into a glass wall. It shattered, covering him in shards. He stood up, the pieces falling of him.
"Time to finish this…" Akira said, moving his hand over his driver. The gem inside pulsed, and a dark tendril spread from the gem down his leg. The creature started to move away from it, but it was obvious to anyone watching that the loss of its blade had injured it somehow- it was moving incredibly slowly, easily catchable. Akira jumped after it, stretching his leg into a kick shape. He collided with the creature, all the energy from his leg jolting into the creature. It roared for one last time before exploding into a cloud of darkness.
Gorou and Natsumi watched as Akira walked out of the battle, scarf blowing from the winds stirred by the sudden rush of air. He walked towards them, helmet covering his face. Gorou started talking, which Natsumi could tell was a bad idea.
"I don't know if we're supposed to be allies or not, but-" Akira walked past him, and when Gorou tried to follow, he pushed him into a building, turning to face him, Gorou moaning from the pain of being shoved into the side of a wall.
"We are not allies, Gorou Sanagai. We merely have the same goal, for now. If you could still fight, I would have no hesitations in ending you here. But I have no orders to, and I do not wish to fight you in this injured state." He walked past them, into a deep shadow, caused by the sun emerging from a cloud.
"But-" Natsumi tried to speak to him, but he faded into nothing before she could, and her sentence was left hanging.
"Nice to meet one of your friends, Natsumi-chan." Gorou laughed harshly, and Natsumi looked at him, still very confused.
