Episode 5: Web of a Forgotten Fantasy
In the dead of night, a small girl with long flowing navy blue hair dressed in a kimono as white as snow with a blue snowflake pattern knelt with her arms held tightly around a teenaged boy dressed in a simple black school uniform with a short pale blue head of hair. A belt with a wolf head buckle laid strapped to the boy’s waist. The girl’s eyes filled with tears that ran down her face and onto the older boy’s blood stained shirt as he lay lifeless in her arms.
“Brother!” cried the small girl as she shook him around trying to get him to move, “Brother! Wake up!” Footsteps echoed resulting in the girl turning her head to see an older japanese man staring at her, “Father…” she gulped as she felt her heart sink.
Within a fraction of a second, the man who stood before her vanished into thin air along with the boy in the girl’s arms as her surroundings changed to an old fashioned japanese house. Fire quickly spread around her as she saw the silhouette of a man drawing a katana cast onto the paper screen door in front of her. A horned figure who carried a large buster sword came into view and struck the shadowed man, killing him instantly and sending him to the ground.
The girl’s heart skipped a beat as she fell back a few feet and slammed into the wall behind her, jolting a shelf and causing a small plate to fall and shatter. The horned figure instantly turned towards the door that separated the two rooms and stepped forward, slashing the door as a pair of bright amber eyes shawn through and piercing the girl’s vision, the girl instantly grabbing a sword from the mantle and aiming it at the red dragon like figure that stood before her.
Second later, Shiore opened her eyes to find herself still laying in bed in her high rise condo staring blankly up at the sealing. She slowly rose and came face to face with a black dresser like cabinet with two large swinging doors taking up the upper half that were currently open to clearly display a set of three small framed photographs, the one farthest to the left being of an elderly japanese man with short black hair and the one farthest to the right portraying a young woman with vibrant blue hair done up in a long french braid that was swung over her shoulder.
Shiore got up and tightened the sash on the blue robe she had on before walking over to the cabinet. She pulled out and lit a match before using it to light a nearby stick of incense, closing her eyes and clapping her hands together.
“Good morning mother… father,” she said softly before opening her eyes and looking down to the third picture in the center which depicted the same pale blue haired boy from her dream, “Satoshi...” she gulped slightly and bowed her head, “please, watch over me.”
Her peace and quiet was suddenly cut short by the loud ring of a phone which echoed through her condo. She calmly headed over to a white end table where the phone stood and read off the caller ID, sucking her teeth before sending straight to voicemail, “That’s the third time this week.”
{Insert Opening Theme: “Period” by Chemistry}
Hours later, Shiore sat at the back of Ms Seraphina’s class staring blankly out the window watching a pair of birds in a nest who chirped endlessly as their mother came back with a worm between its beak. Ms Seraphina was in the middle of a lecture as Cole sat at attention while Alex flipped frantically through his book to find what page they were on, taking one quick glance over to Madison across the room who seemed just as lost as he was as she tapped her pencil down on a notebook with one hand while shuffling through what appeared to be song lyrics on her phone with the other.
Ms Seraphina eyed Madison over her shoulder as she finished writing down a long paragraph on the board, “And so in conclusion-” she spoke as she hurled her piece of chalk at Madison, jamming it in the wall causing the red haired girl to sit up in attention, “cell phones and other electronic devices are to be turned off during scheduled classes, you wouldn’t want anything bad to happen while you weren’t paying attention would you?”
Madison shivered as Ashley reached over and patted her on the head, “Sorry ma’am, but if you don’t mind me asking,” Ashley raised her hand, “what exactly would happen in the middle of class?”
“Who can say,” Ms Seraphina shrugged as she turned her gaze to Ashley, a smirk coming onto her face, “but too often I find that the most horrific events transpire when one has their guard down… for example, the story of the Rake.”
“The Rake? What the hell is that?” the mass of students began asking among themselves.
“Have I sparked an interest in this topic?” Ms Seraphina chuckled. She then shifted the blackboards around to hide her paragraphs behind an unmarked board before drawing what appeared to be a naked man mixed with a dog with little hair and a disfigured face, it’s eyes being left as two black voids.
Several students began to cringe and even shiver, “Oh man… that’s freaky.”
“Many people have recalled seeing it, but the most recent case happened not too long ago… a married couple were awoken in the middle of the night to catch a brief glimpse of it inches away from their faces, only to have it dart into their daughter's room. The couple chased to find their daughter half dead muttering under her dying breath ‘the rake… he is the rake.’”
Madison shivered and covered her mouth, “I-I think I’m going to be sick…”
Ms Seraphina grinned, “Then how’s about you pay attention in my class, okay?” she erased the drawing on the board and wrote ‘The Crow and the Genie’ in cursive in it’s place, “Ms Tyler, mind picking up from chapter 7 page 24?”
Madison nodded violently as Shiore continued watching the bird’s, completely detached as the mother flew away with one leaving the other behind. Shiore sighed and turned her attention back to the front of the class as Madison stood up with her book in hand.
“There once was a young crow who dreamed of big things,” the red head began reading, “In spite of his ambition, he lived in a run down old shack without much to call his own. This all changed one day when one day a genie came to him. 'I see you are in hard times,' she said to him with a warm pittying smile, 'so I shall grant you one wish.' The crow looked to her and said sternly, 'I want the world.' The genie looked to her and smirked before taking off a pale blue ring from her finger and said, 'take this and keep it close. Do that and you shall obtain what you desire.' and with that final word, the genie wished him luck and the two parted ways. The old crow tightly clenched the ring in his hand and nodded, whispering softly, 'I will'.”
“Thank you,” Ms Seraphina smiled warmly at Madison, “now then, what do you think that this story over all is trying to convey?”
“THAT BITCHES BE TRIPPIN?!” a boy called out rudely.
Ms Seraphina chuckled, “Yes, that is exactly right.” she cracked her knuckles and glared at the boy, “Principle's office, NOW!”
After an hour or so, the bell signaling the end of first period rang as the students cleared out of the room.
“Alright, I don’t think I’ll be able to sleep tonight,” Madison shivered as she walked out the room, her arms crossed tightly over her chest, “I think that’s the first time I’ve ever had a teacher tell me something that disturbing!”
“Aw, come on Mad,” Ashley cooed as she came up to Madison and patted her on the shoulder, “It was only a story, like there’s really such thing as monster like that. It’s only a folktale.”
Madison still shivered a little but nodded once, “I really hope you’re right.”
Back in the classroom, Alex and Cole were on their way out while Shiore slowly gathered her things, “Seems like quite a lot of bull to me,” Alex rolled his eyes as he turned back to Shiore, “Hey Shiore, you coming?”
“Go on without me,” she instructed.
“Alright, just be sure to meet us after school alright?” he called out to her only to get no response before making his way down the hall with Cole. He bumped into Madison for a fraction of a second, gulping and avoiding eye contact with her, “S-Sorry, I didn’t mean t-”
“First day with the new feet?” Madison giggled, fixing her hair.
Alex paused before muttering, “I gotta run,” he instantly waved to her and bolted down the hall, rushing through a pair of doors into a nearby stairwell. Madison blinked while Ashley raised an eyebrow.
“Is uh… he okay?” Madison asked Cole, a puzzled expression coming onto her face.
Cole grinned, patting her on the shoulder, “We should be getting class, you have literature next right?” Madison nodded. Ashley meanwhile kept her eye fixed on the door to the stairwell Alex had just bolted through.
Back in the classroom Shiore gathered her things together as was on her way out when suddenly, “Excuse me Ms Fubuki,” Ms Seraphina called out to her, “May I perhaps have a word with you?”
Shiore turned to her and raised an eyebrow, “Yes… what is it?”
“I’ve noticed that you seem to be… drifting off in the middle of my classes,” Ms Seraphina put bluntly, raisng an eyebrow at the girl in front of her, “Is there something the matter with you?”
Shiore took one solid look at her as she felt the piercing gaze of the teacher who sat in front of her jab itself right through her. She looked away from a moment and looked out the door, “No,” she said simply as she walked out of the room and slammed it behind her.
Ms Seraphina smirked as the shifting light in the room bounced off the door and danced across her classes as she kept her focus on the door, “I should certainly hope not, Ms Shirayuki.” She eyed Kat who was standing just behind the door, “You're late again my kitten,” she raised an eyebrow, “explaination?”
The girl coughed a little, “Sorry,” she laughed a little, “hairball.”
Ms Seraphina glared at her, “Well try not to get them anymore, I have a job for you,” she gestured towards herself as the girl hopped over to her. She reached into her pocket and placed a yellow gaia memory with marked with an A in the shape of a bow and arrow, “Here, you're going to need this,” she explained, sliding it along the desk over to her minion.
Kat raised an eyebrow as she scooped up the memory, “What for?”
“When the time comes,” Ms Seraphina smirked, “you'll know.”
Deep within the abandoned stairwell, Alex stood huddled under the stairs biting his lip. He balled his hand into a fist and slammed it down hard, putting a crack into the stone bricks, “DAMMIT!” he cried out as he fell to his knees, “Even after all this time… why the hell can’t I forget about her already?!”
“Are did you seriously just fucking ask that?” called out a familiar voice. Alex quickly turned his head around to see Ashley leaning on a wall behind him, her hands in her pockets and giving a sharp glare with the eye that wasn’t covered by her long frizzy blond hair. Her over the top eyeliner making her look even more pissed off than she probably was. She sucked her teeth and shook her head, “Geez, you know how to make a girl feel important don’t you?”
“She doesn’t even know who I am,” Alex pointed out, “How am I supposed t-”
He was suddenly cut off by Ashley punching the wall, just missing his face, “Save me that load of bull,” she snarled, shooting him a sharper glare than before. “I get that things between you got tough, and she paid the price. But wishing to forget about something as special as what you two had,” she teared up a little, “I wouldn’t be able to forgive you if you did that.”
“But!” he yelled only to quickly soften his voice, looking over to the side, “s-she’s moved on.”
“Your point?” Ashley raised an eyebrow, grabbing him by the collar, “Let me tell you something about highschool love stories, they never end well for anyone. That’s coming from experience,” she looked him in the eye and puckered her lips up some, “would you like me.. to show you why?” she closed her eyes and leaned into him.
Alex felt his heart begin to race and looked her in the eye, pausing for a moment before leaning in himself. Ash then instantly opened her eyes in a narrow gaze before tightening her grip on Alex and hurling him into a nearby wall.
“OW!” Alex yelled, holding the back of his head “The hell was that for!”
“To teach you a lesson,” Ashley sighed as she sat down beside him, avoiding eye contact with him, “I kissed you once but that was out of pity, besides I haven’t swung my bat for your team in a long time.”
Alex cocked his eye and pointed at her, “You’re gay too?!”
Ashley punched him in the face, “Hell no, and I ain’t bi either.” She let out a sigh and stretched her legs out as she looked up to the ceiling, “Gender honestly doesn’t me jack shit to me, and it hasn’t since the day I was born. I love a person for who they are, not what’s between their legs.” she laughed a little and shook her head, “Sarah and I even joked about which of us was gonna marry Maddy someday,” she gulped as she became teary eyed once again, “Well… I was joking at least.”
Alex looked at her, taking a moment to breath before speaking, “You knew the whole time… didn’t you?”
Ashley nodded, wiping her eyes and retaining her smirk, “You’d have to be an idiot not to see it,” she looked at her hand as it began to quiver, “She really did love that nutball.”
Without warning, Alex wrapped his arms around Ashley and brought her in close, “I’m sorry,” he whispered with a tremor in his voice as he held her close.
“Hey!” Ashley laughed as she flicked him in the nose, “Which one of us is supposed to be the idiot here?”
Alex chuckled as he loosened his hold on her, “Pretty sure both of us at this point.”
The bell rang, “Well, I should get going or Merde is gonna kill me,” Ashley lifted Alex’s arms off her, “that dumbass hates me enough already.” She stood up and made her way out of the shadow of the stairs, only to catch herself and turn slight back, “Oh, and it goes without saying but I meant the shit I said. No matter what happens, good or bad, never forget the people that matter and the time you spent together. Because believe me, you’ll miss em when they're gone.”
Alex grinned and nodded, “I will, don’t worry about it.”
Ashley smirked and waved to him, “Stay the ride alive,” she said as she slipped her hands back into the pockets of her leather jacket and walked off, “Superstar.”

In the dim shroud of Crave's bar, a young man with medium length silver hair sat on a stool with a drink in his hand and his eyes fixed on the pale blue gaia memory that he held in his hand. “Hold it close, and you'll obtain what you desire...” the man scoffed as he down his drink and slammed the glass down on the table, “what meaningless trite.”
“Hey! Ren, watch the table!” Crave glared at him from across the room, hanging up his coat as he fetched himself a drink.
“Ren is dead Vince,” he scowled, balling his fist around the memory he held and holding it tight within his fist. Another gunmetal grey memory marked with a B lined with drills lay on the bar beside his hand, “there is only Cyber left.”
The blond haired man raised an eyebrow, “Is that so?” he fished into his breast pocket and pulled out a note, “Well then, Cyber, you have a job to do.” he narrowed his eyes sharply, “and I expect it to be done in full.”
Cyber glared at Vince, scowling at him before snatching the note from it, “Fine, consider it done.” He shoved the note and his memory into his pocket before downing the rest of his drin. He then grabbed the gunmetal grey memory before making his way out.
Vince watched him carefully, narrowing his eyes as Ren left out the front door before slamming it behind him. “Sarah...” he muttered balling his hand into a fist, “I'm doing this for you.”

Back at the school, Shiore stood on the roof of the school with her hand on the fence that enclosded it as she looked out to the cityscape. Her eyes natural fixed themselves on the tower that seemed to loom over her in the distance.
“They sure took their sweet time rebuilding it, huh?” a gruff yet stoic voice called out to her.
She turned around to find Carter staring blankly back as he leaned arms crossed against the door to the stair well. She tightened her gripped on the fence and glared at him, gritting her teeth some.
“What are you doing here?” she demanded as her eyes turned to daggers.
“I just want to talk,” he held out a can of coffee to her before raising an eyebrow, “You kept ignoring my calls. I wanna know why.”
She let out a frustrated sigh and let go of the fence, returning her gaze to the horizon to avoid looking at him, “You should already know... you can deny what you did all you want, but I'll never forgive you.”
He glared at her, letting out a frustrated grunt, “But-”
“Save it!” she barked back coldly. She walked towards him, grabbing the can before taking her first few steps down the stairs, “I'm only taking this to be polite,” she continued, holding the drink over her shoulder some, “nothing more.”
“Wait just a second!” he slammed his fist against the door as he turned towards her, “I'm leading your friends to my organizations headquaters, you can find what your looking for there,” as he said this Shiore stopped, her ear perking up some as she stood in place. “But that isn't exactly going to happen if you keep this pointless grudge against me now is it?”
The two stood in silence for a moment which was only broken by Shiore muttering, “... Fine...” and without a single word more, she continued down the stairs until she gone from sight.
Carter let out a small sigh, shaking his head as he cracked open his own can, “Women...”

Within Vainglory's lair, the cold commander stood over in the center of the room with a breifcase in his hand infront of three masked men in skin tight bodysuits. Joel stood off to the side shaking his head while Rylee clung to a red collar in her hand, sucking her teeth at the male that stood beside her.
“There's been a security breech,” Jason proclaimed, handing the case over to the center goon, “Inside this is all you'll need, whatever it takes you must not let anyone enter this facility. Is that clear?”
The center goon nodded, “Yes sir,” he said before heading out the door, taking his fellow goons along with him.
Jason watched as they left, “If you fail, do not return,” he ordered strictly as the doors to his chaimber closed. He then eyed his subordinates and raised an eyebrow at Rylee, “Still upset about that cat?” Rylee said nothing and in responce the commander shook his head, “All ties to this world are meaningless,” he said as he approached his throne and ran his hand along the arm rest, “opening the gate is worth any sacrifice,” he narrowed his sharp gaze at the woman, “Is that clear Spite?”
Rylee looked at him with a glare, “Yes... sir...”
“Good, then it's about time you should be getting this back,” he held out the female's golden gaia memory, strutting up to her and placing it firmly in her hand. “As I've mentioned, it's been modified to now hold greater power than that obomination of a memory that Fury used towards the end.” he looked her eye and took the collar from her and closed her hand around the memory, “Use it well.”
Joel rolled his eyes and walked out of the room, not saying a single word.
Rylee watched as her former husband left the room only to turn her attention back to her trusted commander the moment he had left, “Yes... as you wish,” she nodded, placing her hand over her heart, “my lord commander.”

The bell rang over the school building signaling the end of the day, students pouring out in droves as Alex, Tara, Cole and Shiore met up by the bottom of the hill where Carter was waiting for them.
“Is everyone ready to go?” the fire rider asked, looking them all over but paying double attention to the two girls. Tara especially. The group nodded in aggreement, Shiore maintaining a sharp glare at the male. “Oh, before I forget,” he reached into his pocket a handed out a set of stark black ID cards with each riders face on them with a fake name to go with them, “These will get you all passed security.”
“You sure they'll work?” Alex asked cautiously.
“Hey!” Tara called out, “Why is my name Tina Buttslover?”
“They will,” Carter nodded, “and it was the only other name left that was on file.”
Tara blinked, then laughed, “I feel some pain for the chick with that name!” she shook her head before slipping the card safely into her glove.
“Can we go now?” Shiore demanded, maintaining her glare towards Carter.
“Of course,” Carter bowed slightly, “follow me.”
Without a single word more, Carter lead the group off down the road. He took them through various bus and subway routes making the trip as long and complicated as possible to throw off anyone who was trying to follow them and make sure that their destination was as hard to place as possible. After about what felt like an eternity of walking and public transit, the group found themselves at a run down warehouse that look as though it hadn't been touched in decades.
“You're barking mad right?!” Tara groaned, cracking her back, “We took a bus that smelled that marmaduke shit, then a subway where the bitch wouldn't shut up about her foot lotion, only to get on another stank ridden bus, JUST TO END UP IN A DUMP LIKE THIS!”
“Just give me a second,” Carter said, completely dismissing the girl's upburst as he pulled out his own ID card and opened up a small hatch on the far wall which contained an access panel. He swiped his card through only to have it be denied. Carter blinked, “What?” he swiped it again, this time the panel set out a heavy electric shock which ran right up the boy's arm, “GAH!” he screamed, holding his arm and gritting his teeth from the pain.
“Problem with your machine Ryu-O?” a haunting voice called out, all the riders turning to see Cyber in full dopant form perched ontop of a stack of barrels.
“HEY! YOU'RE ONE OF THE FREAKS THAT TOTALED MY DAD'S CAFE!” Tara screamed, flailing her fists at the the dopant, “THOSE REPAIRS ARE GONNA COST A FORTUNE YOU TARD!”
Cyber smirked as he typed away on the keyboard on his left arm, bringing up a diagram of Tara's rider form, “Kamen Rider Gale. Speed, seven. Strength, three. Endurance, ten. Intellengence... negative one,” he narrowed his gaze on the younger of the riders, “Inspite of your high energy, you are probably the worst excuse for an opponent I've ever heard of.”
“GAH! WHAT WAS THAT YOU CYBERNETIC DORK!” Tara screamed, summoning Kree to her wrist as he automatically switched into his driver mode. Tara whiping out her Gale Memory, “You want to come down here and say that to face fudge loving face!”
Cyber smirked, narrowing his gaze on her, “If you insist... simpleton,” he rose to his feet and sprouted a large pair of clockwork style wings which cast a massive shadow upon the riders before hovering towards them with a single beat of his newly revealed appendages.
“Tara...” Cole called to her timidly, placing his hand on her shoulder, “maybe we shouldn't be so hasty to fight.”
“SHOVE THAT LOAD IN A MACHINE AND MIX IT INTO FUDGE!” Tara flicked Cole's hand off her before slamming her memory into her wrist mounted driver, “It's one on FIVE Commador! Let's see what your 8-bit ass can do!”
“Five on one, eh?” Cyber smirked, Carter and Shiore both balling up their fists, “Let's say we even the odds then?”
The living computer flared out his large wings, two orbs in the dead center of the top of each one beginning to glow in a blinding light. Cyber brought his hands together as a third orb began to charge in the gap between his now open palms before all three fired on Tara.
The wind rider's eyes shot open, Carter instantly dashing infront and sticking his arms out to block the blast as it filled the room. Meanwhile, in the time it took for the light to reach the blonde haired rider, Shiore pushed her into the arms of both Alex and Cole before taking her place in the line of fire. As the light faded, Alex, Cole and Tara looked and gasped at the ground that was scorched in the shadows of the two riders that were no now nowhere to be found.
“Hm,” Cyber tilted his head some as he held up an orb which now contained to faint dots, one red and the other blue, “I suppose two captives has it's advantage.”
“BASTARD!” Alex shouted, his driver automatically materializing around his waist. He gritted his teeth as he pulled out his Star and Runner memories on instinct, “LET THEM GO!”
“I plan on completing the whole set,” Cyber raised an eyebrow at him with a cold robotic voice as the orb sunk into the palm in his hand, “why would I release the two I've already caught?”
“Then I'll kill you!” Alex yelled at him, slamming his memories into his driver.
“Ah ah,” Cyber waved his finger, holding his palm to show the red and blue dots, “If you break my memory, this fragile little orb goes with them along with your precious little friends.” He readied his wings once again, “Now be a good little prize and join them.”
Cole held Tara who was frozen from shock as Alex gritted his teeth, unsure of what to do. Suddenly, the access panel that Carter had previously tried to activate flashed brightly with a glaring red hazard light as an alarm roared from it. A timer that was currently counting down lit up on the display screen.
“Scrap,” Cyber sucked his teeth, “time for plan b.”
He waved his free hand and set out a stream of code that pushed the three remaining riders out the still open door before kicking off the ground and breaking a hole in the already totaled roof to the warehouse. The moment the counter reached zero, the access panel blew up and englufed the entire warehouse in flames before leveling it to the ground.
Cyber looked down at the roaring fire as he hovered above from a safe hight, narrowing his gaze on the riders as the picked themselves out from the rubble. A red dot flashed in the corner of his eye, the dopant turning to face it as his radar brought up as four new gaia memory energy signatures began to approach the area from all angles.
“Looks like I'll need to change my approach,” he sighed a little as he held out his palm to look at the blue and red dots, “what a pain...”
Cyber flapped his wings and took off into the skies, disappearing in the cloud of heavy smoke that was still lingering from the ruined building. Meanwhile, Cole held Tara in his arms and looked down to her. He along with the rest of them was still short of breath from what they had just seen.
“Tara... you again?” he called to her softly, brushing the rubble from her hair. Tara gulped then looked up to him, eyes wide before forcing a nod. Cole smiled slightly, “That's good at least... thank god.”
“Guys, we're not out of the woods yet,” Alex spoke to them, his eyes still fixed on the wreckage. He turned to them doning possibly the most serious face he had ever displayed with his fists balled tight, “That thing won't stop until it has all of us. Besides, we might not have known them for very long, but we can't leave Carter or Shiore in that hands of that maniac.”
Cole nodded, then chuckled, “When did you decide to become mister selfless? I thought you hated that guy.”
“I do, that hasn't changed,” Alex cracked a small smirk, “but that guy took out Fury. I think we're better off with him on our side.”
“THEN LET'S RESCUE THE TARDS ALREADY!” Tara screamed, seeming to return to her old safe as she grabbed the two boys by their wrists, “COME ON! COME ON! AND THANKS FOR ALL THE FISH AND ALL THAT JAZZ! THESE TWO PART STORYLINES ARE ANNOYING THE CRAP OUT OF ME!”
Far off in the distance atop a two story building, Kat stood with her hand over her hands and a tuna sandwhich in her mouth, “Whoa...” she said between bites, “Looks like Rennie went over board again.”
She pulled out a pair of small binoculars and aimed her sights on the wreckage where the remaining riders were, whistling upon laying her sights on Cole and Tara. The trio was now on the move in the direction that Cyber had flew off in. Tara was leading while Alex and Cole were shortly behind. Regardless of who was at the head of the pack, they all charged onwards with the same amibtion and dedication.
“There goes the rock and his jail bait girlfriend... though I guess they are kinda cute together,” she shrugged, “almost makes me feel bad for 'em...” she smirked as she pulled out her gold Gorge memory along with a driver that was identicle to that of the META commanders and Crave's. “Like I said... almost.”
{End of Part A}
{Start of Part B}
Carter slow began to wake up to the calloping of hooves on loose wood, his eyes opening to the sight of Shiore kneeling just beside him in a blue hakamone with a simple katana slipped into her sash. Her hand was gripped tightly on the hilt as her eyes remained closed, however she didn't seem to be asleep rather in a deep form of meditation.
Carter blinked, “We're alive?”
Shiore opened her eyes somewhat at him, “Yes... unfortunately.”
Carter sat up, his chest now barred saved for a simple brown strap with a silver dragon buckle. A pair of layored samurai esque armor now covered his shoulders as he looked over to the side of their new location which appeared to be under an old bridge where a large buster sword lay propt up on it's side.
He looked back to her, “Where are we?”
“That's what I've been trying to figure out,” she said simply, “though wherever we are, it's forsure the doing of that dopant. Cyber.”
Carter blinked, raising an eyebrow, “Cyber?”
“I scanned Crave and his followers when they ambushed the others at Tatsumaki's cafe,” she explained, “Cyber was the memory name that matched this dopant's abbilities and appearance.”
“Well whatever his name is, it won't do us much good to just sit around here,” Carter let out a small grunt as he rose to his feet which were now in straw sandles, his legs covered by lose fitting old baggy grey pants similar to those worn by warriors in the japanese edo period.
Shiore gripped her sword and rose to her feet aswell but without using her hands, “There's no telling what is out there,” she looked out from under the bridge, “we should be careful.”
Carter looked over to her, raising an eyebrow, “You suddenly care about me?”
“It appears as though our drivers and memories were taken,” Shiore shot back, not looking in her direction, “For the moment it'll be better for the two of us to cooperate.”
Carter eyed her carefully as he took the buster sword and slid it in the sheeth on the belt strap that was now wrapped around his chest, “That makes two of us.”
The two slowly and carefully made their way out from under the bridge as they found themselves in the dead center of a bussling fuedal era japanese village. Carts and kimono clad villagers ran quickly on the freshly plowed dirt roads, most walking citizens barefoot and every person travelling by cart wearing either sandles or simple black shoes.
“Let's go,” Shiore said in her usual monotone before heading into the crowd. Carter following her while they both kept their eyes open.
“Excuse me, your clothes aren't exactly from around here,” a voice called out to them, the paired turned around to see an old man in grey robes with a heavy old hood. He looked up from his hood and smiled, his pale grey eyes leading into his thick white beard and eyebrows, “might you two be travels? Are you lost?”
Shiore rolled her eyes and kept going, Carter meanwhile stopped and turned to him, “Yes, could you tell us where we are?”
“Ah, why yes. You're in the town of Oum,” the old man smiled at them, “If you're new in town, you must go right to our lord Takasei,” he pointed to a large elegant castle on the outskirts of town surrounded by a wall. “Lord Takasei loves visiters, he'll most certainly give you anything you need.” Shiore rolled her eyes, crossing her arms and standing a few away awaiting the two to finish their conversation.
“Thank you,” Carter reached into his pocket, his eyes widening some as he found a small pouch. Finishing it out, he found it contained several coins of gold silver and bronze. He took out three of the gold coins figuring they were the most valuable and held them out to the man, “Here, something for your troubles.”
The old man smiled then raised his hand open hand up infront of himself, “That's alright, helping a traveller out is thanks enough,” he waved them along, “Now get a move on, Lord Takasei is waiting.”
“We will,” Carter held the coins out once again, “but take these, I insist.”
“That's alright, helping a traveller out is thanks enough,” the old man repeated his previous actions, “Now get a move on, Lord Takasei is waiting.”
Carter raised an eyebrow, “... Okay...” he dropped the coins back into the bag before slipping the bag back into his pocket. He then linked back up with Shiore and the two continued down the road. “That was... odd.”
Shiore looked back to the man who was still waving at them with the same warm grin, “Let's just see this lord and figure out how to leave,” she whispered quietly, not wanting anyone to hear here, “I don't like this place one bit.”
Carter kept his eyes fixed on the road ahead of him, “That makes two of us.”

Cyber stood perched at the tip of an old metal bridge, eyeing his captives in the palm of his right hand as they made their way through his hand held pocket demension, “Hurry along little riders,” the cybernetic dopant said coldly, “you'll only quicken your fate.” He then lowered his right palm that contained the two riders and raised his left to a projection of the other three.
Cole, Tara and Alex made their way down as series of long interconnected alleyways, choosing to go on foot as their vechiles would be far too easy to spot due to Cyber's bird's eye view. The all agreed it would be safer and just all around smarter to prusue him from the ground. After a long heated pursuit, the group came to a hault just at the mouth of the alleyway to catch their breath. Tara and Alex practically collapsed on the street below while Cole leaned against the wall just inside the alley. Kree flew down from the sky and perched onto Tara's finger as she held it out to him.
“How'd it go pal? You find him?” the girl asked her robotic friend, only to have him shake his head. Tara pouted her lip a little, “Dang... that sucks.”
“We need to keep going,” Alex rose to his feet, stumbling a little as he became light headed for a moment. Cole catching him with a smirk.
“Not on those legs we don't,” Cole chuckled, trying to break the tension. He raised an eyebrow, “You okay man?”
Alex nodded, short of breath before forcing himself to speak, “I just... I just need a moment...”
“Take as many as you need,” Cole patted him on the shoulder with a grin before turning to the girl on the ground, “What about you Tara?”
Tara gave Cole a thumbs up and forced her usual insane smirk, “Fan-fracking-tastic!” she called to him, her teeth chattering a little.
Cole raised an eyebrow, about to speak when suddenly a wall of binary code shot up between him and the other two riders before forming into a solid brick wall. Tara gasped as Alex instantly ran to the wall and began smacking it with his fist.
“COLE!” he called out, passers by beginning to stare, “COLE WHERE ARE YOU?!”
“I'm okay! I'll find my way around!” he called back, “Go after the others! I'll meet up with you later so just get going!”
Alex nodded, turning to Tara and tapping her in the shoulder, “Let's go.”
Tara nodded, raising her hands to her mouth before shouting, “DON'T DIE COLE!” as she and Alex took off down the road in the direction they last saw Cyber.

Back within the pocket demension, Carter and Shiore made their way towards the palace on the outskirts of town. As they proceeded towards it they noticed a series of heavily armed guards standing at attention in front of the gate. Shiore tightly gripped the hilt of her sword as Carter merely balled his hands into fists.
As they approached the guards, they quickly bowed and lowered their weapons before calling out in unison, “Welcome travelers!” A loud bell rang as the large gates opened, “The lord is expecting you, go right inside.”
Carter took a step closer to Shiore, Shiore in turn taking two steps further away from him. The pair slowly but surely made their way in through the gates, the gates quickly closing behind them. Just inside the wall, almost in constrast to the glum world outside, was a beautifully kept guarden with flowers, trees and other forms of vegatation along with a calming pound that flowed into a stream which ran under the walkway that lead up to castle doors.
The two in perfect sync took in a slight gulp before proceeding up to the doors which automatically opened as they drew close, the doors themselves leading into an rustic yet spacious wodden interier that gave of the impression of wealth and regality.
“Please travellers,” a group of servants called to them as they stood in two lines by a large wooden staircase, “right this way.”
Without so much as a word to the servants, the pair once again continued walking. They made their way up until they came to yet another set of doors that were thankfully already open to a large throne room. The room itself was covered in white and gold tapestries that blew in the wind as chimed echoed through the open tall room.
“Ah, so you're the travellers I've heard so much about?” an old man called out as he sat back in the throne towards the back of the room. He was dressed in a gold and white silk robe that looked to be worth more than any single person could earn if ten lifetimes. He chuckled lightly as guards dressed in masked black robes knelt by his throne, “We haven't gotten visiters in quite sometime. Tell me,” he extended his hand out to them, “what brings the two of you to these parts?”
“Excuse me, your highnest, but we are not here by choice,” Carter approached him slightly, placing his hand over his chest as he bowed a little to him, “We were forced to come here... wherever here is.”
“Ah, I see,” the lord chuckled, “So I'm assuming that you wish to return to the land you came from then?”
“Yes,” Carter nodded, “Actually-”
Before the older male could so much as finish talking, Shiore formed an ice kunai in her hand and hurled it at the old lord. The knife just missed him by a hair and dugged it's way into his throne.
“QUIT WASTING TIME!” Shiore barked as the lords guards raised their weapons and aimed them at her, she in turn unsheathing her sword and aiming it at the lord, “We want to leave, now get us out of here!”
“Ah... you can harness the power of Ki?” the lord leaned in curiously, he held out his hand to his guards as a signal to stand down, “Yes, so you are as extraordinary as I suspected.”
Shiore raised her eyebrow, “Ki?” she in turn lowered her sword slightly.
“Yes, Ki is the energy of your spirit,” the lord explained, “Your own for example is cold and hard to connect to, hence why you Ki energy falls under the elemental domain of ice.” he turned his gaze to Carter, a small spark going off in his eye, “And you, yes I see...” he smirked a little, “you charge head first into battle, without a single care for your own well being. I can see that it is quite clear why your spirit falls under the domain of fire young boy.”
Carter looked at him, raising his own brow, “How do you know all of this?”
“Not important,” the lord waved his hand, “the two of you wish to go home yes?”
The pair nodded in unison, “Yes.”
“Then you are in luck as I know of one is able to do so,” the lord explained as a map appeared above his head showing the two and castle which lay south of a large temple at the top of a mountain range, “Legend says there is a relic at the top of this temple that contains a strong mystical spirit who is capable of granting any one wish to the first person who frees her.”
“So you want that to be us?” Shiore sucked her teeth.
“Why yes,” the lord smirked, only to don a more serious expression and ton shortly after, “But be warned, for this temple is guarded by a blue winged demon named Inubis. Several have tried to defeat him and take the relic, but he is very protective of his treasure.” He paused for amount then waved, regaining his grin, “Good luck!”

Back in the real world, Cole inched his way back through the long constricting alleyway as the sun began to set.
“Geez, why do I always find myself constantly in a random alleyway,” he chuckled a little as he flipped through his phone trying to get a hold of either Shiore or Carter before it suddenly went dead, “The hell?!” he smacked his phone a little as he finally reached the street on the other end, “I thought I just charged this thing?”
“Cole?” a familiar high pitched voice called out to him, “What are you doing all the way down here?” He turned around to find Kat standing before him with a innocent grin on her face and her hands tucked delicately behind her back.
“Oh... hey Kat,” he slipped his phone back into his pocket, “And was...” he paused for a moment as he tried to think up a lie “out with Tara and Alex,” he forced a grin and laughed, “We were on a little shopping trip when we got seperated. Now I'm trying to find them.”
“Oh? How fun,” she giggled a little before skipping over to him and clinging to his arm, looking up at him with her overly forced dough eyed expression, “Mind if I join you?” she bumped her chest up his arm a little before patting her eyelashes, “I'm pretty good when it comes to finding the people I want.”
“Oh.. that's okay,” he sweatdropped, scratching the back of his neck, “I think I'll be okay on my own.”
“W-What?” she suddenly frowned, sniffling a little, “D-Do you not like me or something?”
“N-No!” Cole gulped, “It's not like that!”
“It's fine... you don't need to lie to me...” she pulled away, holding her arm as she hung her head, “I figured not even you would want to be around me... everyone hates me...”
Cole felt his heartsink a little, “Boy...” he looked down the street and scratched the back of his head, “now that I'm think about it this city is pretty big...” he looked over to her a little, “I could use a little help... I guess...”
“Great!” Kat chirped with glee as she instantly regained her chipper expression and clung back to his arm, “I know just where we can start too!” she said before pulling him down the road. She pulled up infront of him and kept her back turned to him, smirking devilishly once her face was out of his line of sight.
Back at the top of the bridge, Cyber looked into the palm of his hand where the scene that had just played out with Cole and Kat came to a close as they began heading down the road in wrong direction.
Cyber sucked his teeth, “Damn you Gorge, why must you always get in the way?” He typed a few strings of code into his arm resulting in a set of ten red copies of himself spawning behind him. “Have it your way, but don't blame me if you get caught up in the crossfire.” he said as the copies flew off in Cole and Kat's direction. He then turned his attention to Alex and Tara who were gradually making their way towards him, “As for you Xtreme... let's see if we can widdle you down to size a bit.”
After entering another string of code into his arm, a wave of twenty red copies spawned behind him before taking off in the direction of Alex and Tara. Tara skipped along down the street while Alex nervously trudged along. All the confidence he had gathered was suddenly shattered the moment he was seperated from Cole and left with Tara who, admittedly, he didn't exactly trust to be all that helpful in a fight.
“Tara...” he called to her with a tremor in his voice, “you think maybe we could wait until Cole's catches up with us?”
“What's the matter,” she turned around with a smirk, skipping along backwards to keep up her pace, “Is the Superstar scared of a little computer bug?”
“Well... no...” he forced a grin as he looked off to one side, sweat rolling down his face this point, “I just... think we'll have a better shot with three instead of two is all.”
Tara raspberried her lips and rolled her eyes, “I'm scarrier than that little tectite,” she skipped to behind Alex and began pushing him forward, regaining her eager grin, “The great mighty Gale will keep you safe.”
Before they got too far, ten red copies of Cyber landed infront of them. They all raised their arms and activated the same bright yellow energy blade from their wrists. Tara and Alex blinked, Tara taking in a big gulp.
“Well...” Tara salluted her fellow rider, “IT'S ALL YOU SUPERSTAR!” she turned on her heel and took a running dash back the way they came only to see that ten more copies were directly behind her.
“I don't think we're getting out of this one so easily...” Alex inched his way over to Tara so the two stood back to back, his driver materializing around his waist, “we're in trouble.”
“Yeah, I see... in trouble...” Tara nodded, turning her head back to Alex before screaming into his hear, “IN TROUBLE IS NOT A LOCATION!”
He flicked her in the nose, “Just focus for one moment please!” he parked at her as he pulled his Star and Runner memories out from his back pocket and slammed them into their appropriate slots.
“Ow!” Tara rubbed her nose, glaring at him for a second before rolling her eyes. Kree then hopped onto her wrist and changed into his driver mode, allowing Tara to pull out her Gale memory and slap it into the slot at top of the bird's head. “I'm tagging you back for that.”
“HENSHIN!” the pair called out in perfect unison, Alex splitting the slots on his driver apart as Tara twisted Kree's head around so his beak pointed down to her hand.
“STAR! RUNNER! GALE!” their drivers called out as the pair were envoloped by twin twisters that circled around the two riders, breaking off and switching them into their rider forms as the eyes of their masks shown brightly for a moment. Alex's a bright fire red and Tara a blinding sky blue respectively.
“Alright!” Tara beat her fists together and cracked her neck to the side, “Tara time again!” she screamed before reaching for the flail on the back of her belt and charging at the copies that stood before her.
Alex rolled his eyes and snickered under his mask a little before cracking his knuckles, the copies that stood infront of him beginning to draw closer. “Okay... let's make this quick!” he called out before dashing forward at them, throwing in a good number of quick lightning fast jabs to open with.
“Whew!” Tara faked a whistle at Alex as she ensnared a pair of copies in the chain of her flail before pulling them towards her and kicking them up into the air, “YOU'VE GOT THIS SUPERSTAR!”
“STAY FOCUSED!” he called to her as he pulled his Star and Runner memories from his driver and swapped them with Blast and Diver before resetting the driver.
“BLAST! DIVER!” the driver called out as he doned the sleak deep blue chest armor of Blast and the aqua blue finned legs of Diver, the Corona Blaster forming in his right hand before firing off bursts of high powered water at the copies.
The copies that were dowsed with water sparked before falling over, exploding to bits upon contact with the ground.
“So that's their weakness,” Alex thought to himself, twirling his gun in his hand before shouting over to his partner, “TARA!”
“Already on it!” she called back, flipping onto her hands before spinning into a tornado kick as a twister formed around her.
Alex then pulled the Blast memory from it's place on his Driver before slamming it into the slot on the top of his blaster. “BLAST! Maximum Drive!” the memory screamed as he aimed it upon the twister, the blaster reaching it's maximum charge before the boy pulled back on the trigger and shot a stream of high powered water at the twister which quickly filled the eye of the twister.
Once the twister began to bubble at the top, Alex released the trigger and brought his gun to his shoulder, “NOW!” he called out, Tara instantly bringing her spinning to a hault before leaping up into the air allowing the now giant sea of water to rush out of the twister as it broke apart. Alex quickly swapped Diver for Kicker and reset his driver.
“BLAST! KICKER!” his driver cried once more as his fins were replaced with deep green leg armor and sharp pointed boots. As the ocean of water rushed over him, he quickly shot out a grabbling hook from his blaster over to the nearest streetlamp, latching onto it as everything around him was washed away which thankfully included all the other copies.
While the remaining water drained into the city's grate system, the now sparking bodies of the copies burst into dust as the city streets were cleared but were now totaled as a result of the makeshift hurricane. Alex smirked as he closed his driver and pulled out his memories, reverting back to his civilian form. He turned to Tara who gently landed on the ground, still in rider form as she firmly strutted over to him.
He raised his open hand to her with a grin, “Put her there!” He called as Tara raised her armored fist and punched him square in the nose. “YAOW!” he screamed before grabbing his nose, glaring at her as blood began to drip onto his hands, “The heck was that for?”
Tara pulled her memory from her driver, smirking at him as she reverted to her own civilain form before placing her hands on her hips, “Told you I'd tag ya back.”
Alex glared at her even harder, blinking for a moment, “You're evil.”
Tara laughed a little, patting him on the should as she walked passed him, “Tell me something I don't know.”
Meanwhile with Cole and Kat, the dark skinned male walked ahead of the stick figured yet somehow busty long haired female he strode behind him kicking her slender legs up some with every step she took.
“Hey Cole!” she called out to him with a sweet smile.
“Yeah?” he looked around, still keeping his pace but not looking behind him to her.
She smirked a little as she twirled her hair around her finger before muttering, “I... I think you're really cute,” she forced herself to blush.
He stopped and blinked, looking over to her with a confused look, “Uh... thank you?”
“Do you think that...” she looked down to the ground then back up to him, now blushing even harder, “I'm cute?”
“Do we need to talk about this now?” he glared at her, “we're kind of in a hurry right now.” He said before continuing to walk. Kat's eyes widened slightly before narrowing on Cole as he kept on moving down the street, “Are we even going to the right way? Because I think you've just gotten me even more lost.” he called back to her only to get no answer. He then looked over his shoulder, “Kat?”
To his surprise the girl who had been following him was now gone without a trace, almost as if she was never even there to begin with. The creepiest part about all of it was that she didn't even make a single sound, not even that of a footprint before disappearing.
“Ah well,” he shrugged, “saves me the trouble of being the bad guy.”
He continued down the street before turning a corner only to be greated by several loud screams as cars and pedestrians fled the area. He blinked for a moment before spotting the ten red copies of Cyber that had been sent after him, the copies spotting him instantly and aiming their arm mounted cannons at him.
He felt his stop for a moment and cracked a nervous smile, “Well... at least Kat's safe... right?”

Back in Cyber's pocket deminsion, Carter and Shiore climbed to the top of the rocky mountain they had been told about. The wind's whipped around them as heavy snow blew into their faces, however inspite of their attire they did not feel the bite of the cold in the slightest.
Just as described, at the top of the mountain stood an old run down temple with four levels and despite the fact that it appeared as though no one had touched it in years it still gave off a haunting aura that sent a sharp chill down both their already stone cold spines. The two gave one another a single look before making their way over to it, cracking the old creeky doors open before heading inside to be met with a large dark room.
Shiore tightly gripped the hilt of her sword as Carter took a single step in. However, this single step sealed their fates as the floorboard beneath his foot cracked ever so slightly which sent a loud echo through the room. The pair began to hear clawing at the top as over one million red eyes starred back at them from the black void that hung above their heads.
“Remember,” Shiore said coldly as the two drew their swords, “When they don't kill you... I will.”
{Insert Ending Theme: “Reason” by Yuzu}
