Ch.5: Beyond the Void.

Every rider shares a dark secret within themselves. Their partner, and transforming device, the Gaki. Souls trapped within time itself condensed in a small machine, that transfers their energy into powerful suits of armor allowing each user to become Riders. Something to the nature of a Cowboy, and a Knight rolled into one. Leaving no sunset without pistol smoke.

This was the fate of the riders. To some, they where food. To others, another strength, another death, another win or lose. Seconds could go by and another would fall allow the other to grow stronger. A semi-equivalent exchange for the sheer power they are given. But, what is the cost when the exchange is ones life?

High above the city line soared the air-ship of the Multi-billion earning company Akigo Industries. Number one in Military goods and from a healthy investment cosmetic hardware as well. The Leviathan watched the city, watched The Keeper select his pray. It could see even deep within the void. Every body that rotted in the streets, unable to be buried, or moved. It could see everything, every desperate whore who claims to be doing it for her kids, but is really in it for the cheap tricks and the money she spends on her job. Boob jobs, Lipo Suction, Wigs, and Makeup. All the tools a girl needs to get money fast without having to take a loan.

Suichi Masakimoto specifically knew this. She knew that her body was only worth these tricks, and that her children at home have a father that is willing to stay with them 24/7 to raise, and nurture them. What was she needed for? Someone had to work. Even if the work was hard, disgusting, and vile. She did not care. She was in it for the non-stop sex. Being a nymphomaniac could do that to a girl, and as such she gets the best of both worlds. As she could not care if you where ugly, fat, crooked nosed, small, or large. Only if she got paid and laid. Suichi was a whore.

As a whore by nature, she never expected a man in goggles to come up to her. Force a watch on her, and tell her that if she did not follow the instructions specifically. She would die. Being fantastic at taking directions, she followed each one by one, as also given to her in a yellow notepad

1) Walk to Ironboy

2) Order Large fry, Strawberry Shake. (I will provide you with the money.)

3) Leave.

4) Walk into the Akagi Corperation building.

5) Demand that you speak to Toshi Akagi.

6) Die.

The halls of Akagi Corperation LLC where bathed in blood. The receptionist, The security, The Riders, and of course. The whore. The watch contained a gateway to the void. Something that the main entrance of the building prevented. As most CEOs of the company where indeed Riders and did not believe that such trivial fighting was good for a workplace. That is why our goggled friend waited for opportunity. He staked out every "lady of the night" paying them money for services other than sex. As he had a boner for knowledge, and revenge. He desired to know which of the prostitutes had the least to live for. Most if not all of them, "Did this since I was 12, sugah!" followed by walking away. Which is strange as they earned large amounts of money to deny this person of information. But, money was no issue. He killed hundreds of riders. Each leaving behind credit and debit cards. All he had to do was max each out in the form of cash, and leave.

He had it all planned out. His revenge. He would kill the one who invented the rider devices. Kill the person that forced him to become one in the first place. Kill everyone that works for the company, and finally kill the bitch that fathered his children, only to use them as lab experiments. Toshi.

"Toshi... you bitch... Come out!" He wailed stepping out of the void and into the building as a Red Rider.

He walked through the marble hallways of the building transcending each floor each floor leading to more mystery as the maze he followed lead to another dead end. The Akagi Corperation building was built like that. Had he been royal enough to receive this name. He would know that Riders are destined to live forever in the halls of the building. He would know the secret of the CEOs. But, alas. He found himself at the bottom of the stairs, his throat protruding a gaseous liquid before he could even react.

"Jack is my name, killing is the game. Seems you are dead, as the walls are painted red!!!" cried out the Black Royal. "Now, before you die it is time to cry wolf. Please tell me why you decided to attack my fair little company?"

"Hngh." He coughed up blood into his helmet, leaving two different shades of red to contrast to one another. " T-t...To....Shi" his body gave out. He had no strength left. But in the halls of Akagi Corporation, Riders cannot die.

He revived at the bottom of the stairs, his throat slit once more. He gagged wheezed cried, and once more died. He was forever trapped in Jack's maze.

"Poor Unfortunate soul." He chuckled. "Would it help if I told you that I have been watching you this entire-time? That I knew you where going to do that to said packet of meat that walked through the door" Jack Monologued.

The Red Rider's vision became hazy. He died. He woke up. Then died. He was stuck in an infinite panic of dying, yet he could not die. Was this the fate of the Rider?
