52Toa Solaric: Yo, I have return with an all new chapter of Kabuto. I don't own Kamen Rider Kabuto or Hyperdimension Neptunia. I am only writing this for fun and not for any kind of profit. So no one get it in their heads to sue me.
Neo Riders: Kabuto and Gatack of Gamindustri
Ch9: The City of Lastation! TheBee of ZECT?!
It was nighttime and Neptune and others are asleep, but most of them. Ran is looking across the sky at the stars now. He didn't get much sleep nor could he.
The stars looking amazing out here… Ran thought with a smile.
He loves to look at the stars, he can't helped wondering how everything going back in their old world, especially his grandmother, raising him on her own and taught him stuffs better than his parents would.
Ran hasn't make much contact with his parents after they file divorce as they went to live in separate countries. But he hears that they have separated families as he remembered.
"Ran?"
Ran snapped from the thoughts about his past and see Kabuto flying around him.
"What are you still doing up?" Kabuto asked. "You do know we still looks for the Key Fragments tomorrow, right?"
Ran smiled.
"Yeah sorry, I got something off my mind, aibou." Ran said. He soon turns off the lamp and went to sleep with his Zector.
(Play Next Level by YU-KI)
As the song begins the screen is covered by insect wings which soon falls apart revealing Kamen Rider Kabuto in Masked Form. The next scene shows Kabuto in Rider form arrives being surrounded by Worms. He gets ready for battle as the next scene shows him riding on the Kabuto Extender.
Kimi ga negau koto nara subete genjitsu ni naru n' darou
Kabuto continues drive in a wide open area in which he is soon replaced by Ran, Azuya, Neptune, Compa, and IF walking in different paths. The next scene is a meteor crashing into a city.
Erabareshi mono naraba
The next scene shows how many Worms can disguise as normal people and bunch of Dungeon monsters are attacking. The scene soon shows lights in the sky by a tower.
Bousou hajimete
Ran and Azuya on their bikes, they get ready for their journey.
Sekai wo moto ni modosu ni wa mou. Jikan ga nai
Ran, Azuya, Neptune, Compa, and IF heads of through the Dungeon of unknown.
MOVING FAST Kokoro no tokei ni hashirase
Neptune is playing a videogame. Compa is looking around the medics' cabinet. IF practiced with her weapons. Azuya is practicing his swords with the Gatack Zecter watching. Ran and Kabuto Masked Form pass through each other. The same with Azuya and IF as they passed their Masked Forms.
Ashita no sono saki e
Ran, Azuya, and IF stands back to back with their respective rider forms. Neptune saw the silhouette of Noire, Blanc, and Vert as she can't help but trying to figure them out before she saw Ran reach his hand for her.
Kimi no tonari tatakau tabi umarekawaru
Kabuto, Gatack, and Sasword use Cast Off and transformed into their Rider forms. Kabuto shows off his Clock Up and ran through a frozen explosion. Soon there are more Zecter Riders with different Zecters coming as they fought against each other.
Me ni mieru SPEED koete 'ku MOTION
The next scene is Kabuto, Gatack, and Purple Heart shows off their fights skills so far as they fight Worms and Dungeon Monsters.
Ittai jibun igai dare no tsuyosa shinjirareru?
Without a clue of who she was, Neptune begins to cry before noticing green slime dropping in front of her. Ran under a tree and stared up to the sky for answers.
Kousoku no VISION minogasu na. Tsuite koreru nara...
Kabuto starts a fighting in Clock Up along with Gatack and Sasword. The three riders stand side by side as the screen covered up by insect wings and the logo.
The city of Lastation served under the rules of the CPU Black Heart, a futuristic city but with poor air quality. Well known for their industrial factories.
It does seem to be a busy city.
*BOOM*
What is going on?
"Hold them off until the boss get here!" a voice said.
In an isolated alley, there seems to be explosive sound could be hear from over there. Suddenly the scene changed to group of five men in black ops uniform and bug like helmets with guns against bunch of Salis Worms.
They seem to be doing well against the Worms, but it wasn't until some of them starting to give off heat into the air.
"Shit! They're molting!" one of the black Ops men said.
Before the Worms could do any damaged to the men in black suits, they were caught off by a gold blur hits them and send them flying backward.
"CLOCK OVER!"
Suddenly appearing in front of the men was another Rider. His feature can't be see well in the dark except for his armor color is gold and black.
"Boss is here!"
"I hope I wasn't late for the party, guys." The rider said.
"If only you were here early…" The Rider sighed before turns to look at the Worms. They don't really have time to argue about his tardiness right now.
"I will be charging of paying the dinners, but it's time for ZECT to move out with our operation." The Rider said.
The party was eating breakfast made by Compa. They still don't have any luck when it comes to finding the Key Fragment.
Neptune and Compa were enjoying their breakfast while IF was watching internet videos on her phone. The brunette soon noticed a video link that got her attention before she saw Ran and Azuya coming to join the girls.
"Morning, girls." Azuya greet.
"Morning." Compa greeted back.
"So what were you guys doing?" Neptune asked curious from her foods.
"Azuya is helping me with my bike." Ran explained, sitting down next to Neptune.
"Just trying to see how it works." Azuya said, getting his breakfasts. "And wonder if I could tuned up anything."
"You're really a good mechanic, Azu-kun." Compa complimented.
"W-Well, I try to help out more..." Azuya said.
"Hey Ran-kun, can I ride with you on the bike?" Neptune asked.
"No," Ran answered with a flat tone. Even if Neptune is a goddess, she still an a immature child.
As Ran about to eat breakfast as Neptune hold his arm and looks at him with big puppy dog eyes.
"Pwease…" She pleaded.
"No." Ran said.
"Pwetty please with plain donuts on the top?" Neptune asked as she turns her puppy dog eyes to maximum effects. This causes Ran to look away from the dreadful puppy dog eyes. The eyes supposed to make you do people's bidding. No matter how hard you resist.
"Come on, Ran. You should let her." Azuya said, already been charmed.
Ran facepalmed. To think his own childhood friend being influenced by the dreadful puppy dog eyes right now.
"My answer is still no." Ran said.
Soon Neptune latched onto Ran's arm and looks at him with puppy dog's eyes. "Pwease…" She pleaded again.
"No." Ran answered.
"Just leave him alone, Nep." IF said with stern. "Ran isn't your horse to play with. Beside, Ran only gives ride in case of emergency."
"She is right, Nep-Nep." Compa agreed.
"Aww…Poopy," Neptune pout. "But I want give up next time, Ran-kun!"
This causes Ran to chuckle a little. "You act more like a kid who spoiled on her Christmas present than a Goddess." He said.
IF soon approached the table before making her announcement.
"Hey guys… I think we have another problem." IF said.
"What is it?" Neptune asked.
"Another Rider has appeared." IF said. This got both Ran's and Azuya's attention.
"What did you say!?" Azuya asked.
IF shows them her phone and the screen shows a Rider with armor resembled bee's abdomen and shoulder plates looked like white insect wings. His arms and legs sported thin armor, but nowhere near the grade of protection of the suit hand. On his left wrist, his ZECT had extended its stinger, looking like a wrist-mounted harpoon. His helmet was striped yellow and black, the yellow pieces resembling the face of a hornet or wasp with a large pair of black eyes. From the forehead rose, a pair of antennae and in the center of the forehead was three red stone in a triangle position.
Ran and Azuya knows there is only one Rider with a bee theme like armors.
"You got to be kidding me…" Azuya said.
"That is… TheBee." Ran said with a disbelief.
(In White Heart's chamber)
Rika enters the chamber with Drake Zector as her company and they saw White Heart is reading her book in her bed.
"Do you wish to see me, White Heart?" Rika asked politely.
"Indeed, I do." White Heart replied before putting a chapter mark on her favorite book. "Tell me, what you know about Neo Kabuto and Neo Gatack. I notice you have been working with them lately." She said. This causes Rika to look completely surprised at the CPU of Lowee now.
"Well, I know them because they're from my world and… they're my friends, White Heart." Rika answered calm as possible.
"But are they're trustworthy?" White Heart asked curious.
"I trust they won't cause any trouble in Lowee unless they have a reason to fight especially against the Worms." Rika said with serious.
"And how are they handling… her?" White Heart questioned, sound slight curious.
"With both of them around, I believe they can take care of someone that immature like Neptune herself." Rika said. She knows White Heart must still distrust Neptune, but surprised she won't kill others who are human.
"Speaking of Worms… did you find any possible leads lately?" White Heart asked. The CPU of Lowee finds them quite annoyed pests when she learns their existence from Rika.
Rika shakes her head.
"No ma'am," Rika reported.
"I see…" The CPU of Lowee said.
"Will that be all?" Rika asked.
"Yes, unless I call upon your service again, then I will summons you." White Heart said.
Rika sighed as she left her office.
There is no doubt that she still want to kill Neptune… Rika wondered quietly.
(Back with the party)
They continues watching the fight between TheBee and the Worms before using Clock Up to disappear again.
"A Bee Rider?" Neptune asked, looks surprised and superstruck. "He looks so cool!"
"Where was this video taken?" Ran asked.
"In Lastation which is another Landmass mostly of factories." IF said.
"Do you know where TheBee is from?" IF shook her head.
"But no one knows where TheBee came from, however, rumors mention he leads a group known as ZECT. I heard it's an organization funded by Black Heart herself." IF explains.
"ZECT…?" Ran asked with surprised tone.
"You gotta to be kidding me…" Azuya said with disbelief.
"Azu-kun, what's wrong?" Compa questioned.
"Well… back where we are from, ZECT is the organization helped made the Zectors to combat against the Worms. Though they might be helping humanity, they have their own personal agenda than saving humanity." Azuya explains. He can't be certain if ZECT is going to cause them problem while looking for the Key Fragments.
"What about TheBee? He is fighting the Worms like you guys." Compa said.
"How are we going to be sure if he is going to help us?" IF asked. This Rider could be an enemy and the video is a trap.
"But we can't ignored a fellow Rider, there is a chance he might be from the same world as me, Ran, and Rika. But if this is a trap, we could try to gets the TheBee Zector on our side." Azuya said, pointed out a few good points. On one side, they have the potential for a new comrade against the Worms threat and Arfoire's attacks but on the other, they also have a new Zector on hand which can be used for good.
"Let's hope the user isn't a jerk ass." Sasword Zector said.
(In Lastation)
"ACCHOO!" A young man sneezed when he try to eat his bowl of noodles. He has wave brown hair reach his neck, black sunglass, and wore a black jeans with white jacket. His name is Jin.
"Damn… someone must be talking about me," Jin muttered. But he has some weird urge to strangle someone he never meet before.
"Aibou, are you alright?" a voice asked.
Sitting on the table is none other than the TheBee Zector. Jin wasn't alone when he ends up in a strange dimension and starts making business for himself.
"I am fine…" Jin said as he trying to eat his lunch now. It wasn't until his phone suddenly rang and Jin picks up his phone and answered the call.
"What is it this time, Kurohime?" Jin asked, slight annoyed.
"…." Jin can't help but a little chuckled after hearing ranting from the caller.
"Seriously, you really need to take a vacation then complained about Worms. You will get a serious mental breakdown if you continued to being busy with those paperworks." Jin said.
"…."
"Yes, you will." Jin countered.
"…."
"Baka Kurohime." Jin said.
"Can't you two get a room…?" The TheBee asked as he watching another ongoing debates between Jin and his supposed boss.
Ran is taking a last look around the village of Lowee since he knows that he won't come back here for a while.
Suddenly he accidently bumps into another person without realization.
"Watch where you're going, jerk." a female voice said.
"I'm sorry." Ran apologized as he looks at the strange ivory girl in front of him. But he is unaware that he crossed path with her before related to Neptune.
Neo Kabuto… The CPU of Lowee thought curious. This is her first time to encounter the red beetle Rider in public place.
"Are you lost or something?" CPU asked. Ran shook his head.
"I didn't see you there." Ran said. He was sure that he would notice her but she looks quite young for her age. But her voice sounds kind of familiar…
"…I see." The ivory hair girl said before looking around the village.
"Are you looking for something?" Ran asked.
"…There supposed to be a book store here, but I don't remember where." The ivory hair girl said.
"Its few buildings behind me, you won't miss it." Ran said, pointing to his back. "I can take you there myself."
"Why are you helping me?" The CPU asked, slight curious.
"Huh?" Ran looks kind of confused at the young girl. "Isn't there a reason to help those who lose their paths?" he asked.
Suddenly a small red blur come out of nowhere and is none other than Kabuto Zector as he appears in front of Ran.
"Hey Ran, the group is ready to leave soon." Kabuto Zector said.
"Are you traveling?" The CPU asked.
"Yes, I am." Ran said.
"I hope you have luck on finding what you looking for." The CPU said. This causes Ran to looks surprised.
"Wait…" Before Ran could ask the girl a question.
But to his and Kabuto's surprised as the young ivory hair girl vanished into thin air.
"Kabuto… did you saw the girl went?" Ran asked.
"No, I didn't." Kabuto Zector replied. "But I don't believed she could be a Worm."
Ran can't help feeling the same about the strange girl. He has this strange feeling as if they're going to meet again sometime soon. It wasn't long until he catch up with his friends at the Sky Harbor.
Upon arriving in the next Landmass, the first thing they noticed is the poor quality of the air, meanwhile Neptune was looking around with fascination in her eyes, "Wow, this place is all steampunky and spiffy and futuristic! Is this Lastation?"
"Lastation, ruled by the Console Patron Unit Black Heart. The land is mostly obscured by industrial factories." IF explained.
"No wonder the air smell bad here." Azuya remarked.
"So what do you think of this place, Nep-Nep?" Compa asked.
"Well, if this place represent Black Heart's preferences, she must enjoying being an alcoholic too much." Neptune said.
"You mean workaholic, Neptune." Ran corrected.
"I don't think so. The landmass is developed by the people." IF said.
"Aw, that's so realistic. Compa, what are your thoughts on this place?" Neptune asked.
Compa looks around at the building surrounding them, "These factories and chimneys… remind me of an industrial revolution. I'm not familiar with this kind of thing."
IF crossed her arms, "I suppose it's not appealing to mainstream girls. I think it's cool. Anyway, let's go to the Basilicom."
"The sooner we get our information, we might have a chance to find TheBee." Ran said.
(In Lastation Basilicom)
"Um, 'scue me! I wanna get some information on monsters. May I come in?" Neptune shout.
"Neptune, is it necessary for you to shout?" Azuya asked.
IF grumbles out, "Who says we do? She just runs ahead of us and does it before we can stop her."
An old man with lavish and holy robes comes out of the doors with attention directed toward Neptune, "Monsters? What're you going to do with this information?"
"We're searching for an item called a Key Fragment. We must defeat a strong monster to get one." Compa explained.
"Defeat monsters? Don't be foolish. Even the Lastation Defense Force doesn't stand a chance against them. You're nothing more than children. Go home!"
Putting up a determined front, Compa responds, "Y-You shouldn't judge us by our appearances! We've defeated lots of strong monsters before!"
IF frowned. "Don't even try Compa. He's way too stuck-up. Shows what kind of leader Lady Black Heart is if the people who serve her act like this."
The man predictably become outraged at IF's criticism, "We're not like those who suck up to Black Heart! I don't care what people say about us, but don't confuse us for them!"
Neptune looks down on the ground before she glares at the man. Whatever the man say must struck a part of her who still a CPU.
"You brats better scam already or I'm going to have to hurt you!" The man said angry.
Trying not to look sad or defeated, Neptune shout back, "We probably way stronger than you!"
Ran places his hand on Neptune's shoulder and stop her, "That is enough, Neptune. It's obvious this old fool isn't worth it. He is nothing more than barks and no bites." He said.
This causes the man's sneer turns into an infuriated glare, "Boy, you better watch your mouth in front of me! What would you know about my duties-" But the man stop when Ran gives him a cold glares at him. Something about the way Ran looks at the man feel death is coming to him.
I dare you punch me, then I will show no remorse… Ran thought.
"More than you would believe, you incompetent fool." Ran said, approaching the man. "The world is in chaos and people are suffering every day. And what you doing while this is going on? Barking at people out of frustration than fulfilling your duties."
"The Basilicom supposed to let people in and assist them, and you will get paid. And you doing the opposite as you don't bother to help them. Then you must failed the policy of Noblesse Oblige." Ran continued as the man continued move slight back from Ran. "You say that you hate children? Children are treasure to the world. The greatest sin in this world is to damage those treasures. And it was the children who risks their life for the future they fight to protect. As long as there people who hopes for better tomorrow, there are the souls of those will never give up fighting. It's fools like you who are just standing around, twiddling their thumbs and having easy life without big responsibilities."
"Before you go ahead and bragging you, thinks about your own actions than lashing out at others." Ran said before turns his attention away from the man.
Ran looks at his friends before call to them. "Let's go back to the city."
They nodded as they follows their friend out of the Basilicom and the old man behind.
(City)
The party returned to the city and Compa looked slightly disheartened, "What should we do? We couldn't get inside the Basilicom..." She said sadly.
Azuya pat Compa on the shoulder to conform her, "Cheer up, Compa-chan. We don't need to hear from that man again."
"He didn't have to be so mean… I guess people are different everywhere you go, huh? The world could be so cruel sometimes…" Neptune said with a down spirit.
Even IF can't contain her outrage. "Didn't you hear what he was talking about? He went too far out of line, talking about his CPU like that."
Neptune suddenly looks at Ran with a curious expression.
"What exactly is Noblesse Oblige?" Neptune asked.
"Those who own power and privilege have a duty they must fulfill." Ran explains. "That man clearly shows he completed failed his duties."
"Well, I'm surprised he hasn't got fired yet." Azuya agreed with his best friend.
"I hate every damn words coming out of that guy's mouth, but hearing you put him in his place is totally worth it." IF said with a grin. Compa nodded.
"You were a bit scary back then… but you know what to say." Compa affirmed.
"So what do we do now?" Neptune asked.
"I guess we should look for an inn to rest, since we might be here longer like Lowee." Azuya said. "With the money we earned from the monster hunting, we can probably afford it."
"That sound like a good idea." Neptune said.
(With Jin)
Jin is on his way back to the base when he stops by the TheBee Zector.
"What is wrong, TheBee?" Jin asked.
"Aibou, I sensed presence of other Zectors in Lastation." TheBee said. This causes Jin's eyes turned wide with surprised.
"Really?" Jin did wonder if there other Riders beside him or he is stuck in this world for good. He did hears rumors about Sasword moving around the other Landmasses.
"I'm sure," TheBee said, flying around his partner in a circle.
"So where are they anyway?" Jin asked.
"They seems to be stay at some inn." TheBee reported. "And they looks like they have partners as well. So what do you want to do?"
"I see…" Jin muttered to himself. "Guess that we should meet them…" He said.
"But… after we get rid of these creepy Worms following us…" Jin said with a scowl.
Three civilian were following him from behind turns into Salis Worms and they come toward him.
"TheBee." Jin said, holding out his Rider Brace.
"Roger, aibou!" TheBee answered before flying around his hand and attached to the Rider Brace slanted.
Showing the brace, Jin slanted TheBee so that he was lined with the brace and shouted, "Henshin!"
"HENSHIN!"
Yellow hexagons of energy came out from the Rider Brace and enveloped him until he completely donned in his armor.
It follows the black bodysuit custom. The torso armor is just as blocky like Kabuto's, but the center is decorated with several black hexagons much like a honeycomb. His shoulder armor is silver and stick outward over his shoulders like insect wings, but the rest of shoulder is yellow and round with vents on the sides. Both shoulders sport black disks, the left one decorated with a bee symbol. His arms are covered with more segmented steel, looking more like a hindrance than a held. Mounted on his left wrist his Zecter, looking like a bee ready to fly up and sting someone. His helmet is like the others, silver steel but his faceplate is dominated by a black visor shaped like several hexagons put together with a pair of horns or antennae rising up from the top.
This is Kamen Rider TheBee Masked Form. TheBee grinned behind his helmet as he clenched his knuckles together as the Worms went after him.
"Now then, it time to party." TheBee announced.
It wasn't that hard to find a nice Inn to stay in Lastation and purchased an apartment with two bedrooms. Azuya soon walks out of the bathroom and about to check on others before he saw Gatack Zecter appearing in front of him.
"What's wrong, Gatack?" Azuya asked.
"I sense Worms not far from here." Gatack Zector said.
This got Azuya's attention immediately. Though he want to alert Ran and others, but he decides to take this fight by himself.
"Let's check this out, ourselves." Azuya said. He knows Ran and others could take care of themselves.
Azuya and Gatack Zector soon left to check it out.
It wasn't long until they saw the Worms got send flying in the air by a certain Bee theme Rider.
"TheBee!" Azuya recognized with surprised.
Suddenly the Worms turning red before they starts molting into their full forms and getting themselves up as they're able to attack TheBee.
"Let's go, aibou!" Azuya shout as he starts running into the battlefield.
"Henshin!" Azuya shout.
"HENSHIN!"
Blue hexagons surrounding Azuya as he becomes Neo Gatack. Neo Gatack fires his shoulder cannons at the Worms. This causes the Worms collapsed to the ground immediately.
TheBee turns around and saw Neo Gatack with surprised expression.
"Gatack…?" TheBee asked.
"The one and only!" Neo Gatack said before trying to shooting at the Worms.
Suddenly the Worms got mad before using the Clock Up abilities as they assault the Riders and the Riders were tossed to the wall.
"Ouch…" TheBee groaned.
Neo Gatack got himself up first before pulling the pincers on his Zector.
"Cast Off!" Neo Gatack shout.
"CAST OFF!"
Suddenly his heavy armor scattered apart before revealing his Rider form.
"CHANGE STAG BEETLE!"
Neo Gatack soon activated his Clock Up button before going into the Clock Up field. TheBee got himself up and looks at Neo Gatack.
"He is quite an interesting fellow. But I won't let another Rider showing off!" TheBee comment. He grabbed his Zector as steam and electricity came out of his armor.
"Cast Off!" TheBee shout as he turns the Zector around.
"CAST OFF!"
The extra armor of his Masked Form went flying, slamming into a few Worms as they were destroyed before TheBee entered his Rider form.
"CHANGE WASP!"
"Clock Up!" TheBee shouted before pressing the Clock Up pad on the side.
"CLOCK UP!"
(Clock Up field)
Neo Gatack is slashing the Worms with his dual swords as. A Worm is going to strike Neo Gatack from behind, but it got stabbed from behind by TheBee.
TheBee grabbed the Worm before tossing it into the air and result the Worm exploded in the air.
"Thank…" Neo Gatack said.
"Thank me later." TheBee response.
The two Riders soon charge forward as they taken on the Worms head on. They either slashing or stabbed as the Worms fall in great numbers. Suddenly a Tarantula Worm spit the barbs at them.
Neo Gatack slashing the barbs aside with his blades. TheBee jumps on Neo Gatack's shoulder before stabbed the stinger into the Worm, making sparks fly off the Worm's chest as it went flying backwards.
"Rider Sting…!" TheBee shout pressing the abdomen of his Zector.
"RIDER STING!"
Green electricity began flowing up to TheBee's left arm as he pulled it back for a punch. "Hasta la vista, Worm!" TheBee exclaimed before he punch the Tarantula Worm in the chest.
This causes the Worm to explode into nothing.
"CLOCK OVER!"
(Clock up field disappeared)
The two Riders stares at another in few moment of silent before Neo Gatack approach him.
"Does Rider conversation rang any bell to you?" Neo Gatack asked.
"I was from there." TheBee answered. "I take it that you were the same?"
Neo Gatack nodded before they noticed Neo Kabuto emerged in front of them due to Clock Up. This causes TheBee to look surprised and was about to attack when Neo Gatack got in his way.
"Take it easy, you two" Neo Gatack said. "Beside we're all from the same world."
"I take it that you from Japan as well?" TheBee asked. Neo Kabuto nodded.
TheBee soon released his Zector and reversal his form back to Jin while Neo Kabuto and Neo Gatack reversal their transformations as well.
"So where is Nep and others?" Azuya asked as he looks around. "I don't see them."
"They are sleeping right now." Ran explains.
Soon they pay attention to Jin who stares at them.
"So what is your name?" Jin asked.
"I think it better for you to give us your name." Ran said.
"The name is Jin. Jin Nonaka, I'm the partner of TheBee here." Jin said.
"I'm Azuya Takeuchi and this is my best friend Ran Minamoto." Azuya said.
"Is true that you're in charge of ZECT here?" Ran asked.
"Yeah, I established some time ago." Jin said.
"But how did you end up here?" Azuya asked.
Jin is about to explain when men in black familiar Zect uniform gather around them as they points their guns at Ran and Azuya, but Jin stops them.
"Hold it, gentlemen. These guys are my guests." Jin explains calm.
"Yes sir." They said before take their guns away from the two.
Jin looks at the two Riders. "Sorry, but can you guys came to our base and I can explains in my office. It won't take you guys long." Jin explains.
Ran and Azuya looks at each other before they nodded.
"Lead the way." Ran said.
(ZECT headquarter)
Ran and Azuya along with their Zecters following Jin and his crew into a building. The ZECT headquarter looks exactly the same as the one on television except with more colorful wall paints.
"Interesting colors…" Azuya said.
"I take to make this place a bit more colorful than letting Kurohime do the decoration for me." Jin explains.
"Kurohime? Who is that?" Gatack Zector asked confused.
"The one who helped me established this place." Jin explains before looking at the guards. "You guys are dismissed." He said as they left the Riders by themselves.
"Now then… let head to my office." Jin said.
It wasn't long until they made to Jin's office. His office have white and black checkers wall while the carpet is blue. Jin soon sat on his black wheeling chair while Ran and Azuya made themselves comfortable by sitting on black chairs.
"Do you guys want anything to drink?" Jin asked. "Water? Coffee? Soda?"
"I won't mind soda." Azuya said.
"I guess I would like the same." Ran said, looking around the room.
"So why did you established ZECT?" Azuya asked. "If I would you, I would try to look for my way home."
"True, I originally intend on finding my way back home… but I can't ignored Kurohime since she struggle against the problems in her Landmass." Jin explains.
"So Kurohime is Black Heart?" Ran asked.
"Yes, she is the CPU of Lastation. I find out that TheBee Zector alive after I escaped from her ruthless in her bathtub."
This cause them to blink, "Wait, you landed in her bathtub?"
Jin cough despite having a blush on his face, "I never imagined of meeting a tsundere in bathroom"
(Flashback)
Jin Nonaka looks around the Rider Conversation as he seen many people in costumes and actors giving autographs. The reason for him to be here? His little brother's birthday is coming up and he is looking for a present to give him. In his bag were the Rider Brace, TheBee Zector, and mini model of TheBee's Rider machine. It too bad that his siblings couldn't be here due to their sickness left them in bed.
But another thing Jin is actually excited are the Kamen Rider Girls going to be here. Jin hopes to get an autograph with them or having pictures taken.
It wasn't until people were running away from monsters of the Kamen Riders in the Conversation now. In situation like this, Jin decides to run than stay here like many who trying to hiding themselves. Just when Jin about to head for the main door, a vortex appears from his behind and swallow him up.
"AAAAHHH!" Jin screamed. Is his life going to end this way?
As he closing his eyes to the darkness…
*SPLASH*
He then hit water.
"BLRP!" Jin choked, his sense shooting back to him as the hot water enveloped his face. His survival instinct triggered big time and he thrashed for a moment before he touched a hard bottom. Using it as a base, he kicked off of it and emerged from the water choking and coughing. After a moment of catching his breath, he tried to look around to see where he had ended up.
"PRGH!"
Began to have a nosebleed, when he saw a young gorgeous woman with developed body and long black hair and red eyes.
"AAAAHHHH! Who the hell are you!?" The black hair girl demands blushing furious, trying to cover her nude parts with her hands.
"Umm…" Jin trying to stop his nose from bleeding. "Where exactly am I?" He asked with confused expression.
"I should be asking you the same thing, peep tom! And how did you get into my home!?" The black hair woman demands as she approached him with a daggering look.
Jin try to move back as the woman getting to close to him despite being nude.
"Umm… madam, you should-" But Jin accident slipped in the water and falls face flat on top of the black hair woman's busts as the two hits the water.
*SPLASH*
(Past in flashback)
Listening to their fellow Rider's experience, it causes both of them to laugh very hard.
"You fell into a Goddess's bath! Ha! Hahahahaha!" Azuya finally laughed as he feel hurting from his side right now.
Ran try to hold back his laugh as he promote another question to Jin. "Even after lands on her naked in bath, you didn't get kill?" Ran asked with shocking look. How this young man could possessed such incredible luck from death?
"That was the painful meet I ever endure from Kurohime…" Jin groaned.
"Ok… Sorry." Azuya said as he trying to stop laughing now. "So what happened next?"
"After that incident, I starting run away with my life like hell." Jin said. He soon continued with the flashback now.
(Continue in flashback)
Jin is the first one to come up from the water as he trying to get to the dry surface after that incident. He couldn't comprehend how is possible for him to ends up in someone's bathroom. But a girl's bathroom! This sound like something from an anime.
How is that possible!?
He suddenly heard something rising from the water and saw the young black hair girl except her face is entirely red.
Jin gawked at the sight as he slowly move back.
The girl looks angry or quite pissed off.
"You…" She gritting her teethes. "Because of you…I can't get married now!" She exclaimed.
"It's not my fault that you didn't puts on a bathrobe first!" Jin argued, pointed out.
It wasn't until Jin saw the black hair girl cast an energy ball in her fist and ready to throws at him immediately.
"Hentai bastard!" She called out.
*BOOM*
But Jin dodges the attack as it blowing up the door behind him and created a lot of smoke. Jin got immediately and starts to run for his life from an angry chick with super power right now. This time the black hair woman got her bathrobe on while chasing after him with massive killing intent.
It wasn't until his day getting worse when a spider like humanoid emerged from the shadow. Coming out of the shadow, he stares at the young black hair woman.
The humanoid spider fires a spider web at the young woman and binding her against the wall.
"What the heck!?" The black hair woman screamed as she struggling to get herself free from the webs right now.
"I can't believe the luck of you," the Spider like creature mused as the Worm approached Jin. "One perv made my work easily to kill the real Goddess." The Tarantula Worm grabbed Jin by his shirt and opens his jaw wide to devour him.
It wasn't until a small yellow blur appeared from out of nowhere and attacks the Tarantula Worm's head to dropped Jin immediately.
"What was that?" The Tarantula Worm demands with shocked.
"Are you alright, aibou?" A young male voice asked.
Jin suddenly looks up and couldn't believe his eyes. In front of him is none other than the TheBee Zector as it hovering around him immediately.
Jin gawked. "B-But how!?" he exclaimed in shock.
"Here." TheBee Zecter dropped something on Jin's laps which is the Rider Brace. Jin picked it immediately and looks it. But unlike the toy version, this one felt like real metal.
"What the heck?" Jin asked with disbelief. "This shouldn't be possible!"
"I won't let that happened!" Tarantula Worm shout as it fires barbs at Jin.
But TheBee went fast speed before knocking asides every barbs from hitting Jin. TheBee soon attacks the Tarantula Worm from all directions to confuse it.
"Hurry up and transform, Aibou!" TheBee shout.
"Transform, are you seriously?" Jin deadpanned before he looks at the Rider Brace.
"Hello, are you forgetting someone!?" The black hair girl shout annoyed, getting stuck in the web now.
Jin takes a deep breath before he got up. "I don't know where I am, but I don't want to die right now! Come, TheBee!" He shout.
TheBee soon flying to Jin's hand before attached to his Rider Brace.
"Henshin!" Jin shout.
"HENSHIN!"
Yellow hexagons surrounding Jin before he transforms into Kamen Rider TheBee Masked Form.
"What in the world are you?" The black hair girl asked in shocked.
"Kamen Rider TheBee!" The new Rider declared.
(Present)
"Not bad for my first fight," Jin said. "But Kurohime didn't kill me after I saved her life, instead she got me and TheBee to work for her. I think she try to not let anyone else know about that incident."
"So this is how ZECT started… not the same way I would imagined," Azuya said honestly. Jin nodded.
"I know. But Kurohime is quite furious about the Worm pests going on in Lastation and want them to be dealt." Jin explains.
"Did you encounter any Natives yet?" Ran asked.
"Unfortunately, we haven't find any." TheBee said.
"I thought I was the only Rider around until I hears about Sasword roaming the Landmasses." Jin said. "So what is your stories?" He asked.
"Well, it's a long story." Azuya said.
"We have time." Jin said.
"We were the same as you…." Azuya said.
(One story later)
Jin and TheBee Zector have serious looks on their faces after listening to their stories.
"This sound serious." TheBee said.
"I can't help but agree with you…" Jin said.
"But did you see our friends?" Azuya asked.
"Unfortunately, I haven't discovered where their hideout could be or the whereabouts of your friends." Jin answered.
"Do you think Black Heart would work with Neptune if she hears her being here?" Azuya asked.
Jin shakes his head.
"No, I don't think Kurohime would helped her even if I began her. Her grudge against Neptune is serious." Jin explains.
"How would you know that?" Kabuto Zecter asked.
"We read her diary." Jin and TheBee said at the same time.
This causes the Riders and Zecters to blink. "…"
"I'm surprised you haven't got killed by her yet…" Ran comment.
"Well, we didn't get caught." Jin said.
(In an unknown dungeon)
"AAACCCHOOOO!" A certain black hair tsundere sneezed after defeating the recent monster boss.
She soon takes out a napkin and wiping the snots off of her nose.
"Why do I have an idiot to kill…?" The black hair goddess gritting her teeth wondered out loud. But she can't help feeling that idiot doing something quite unforgivable right now.
She would kill that idiot for falling into her shower, but she choose to spare him after seeing his power in order to deal with the Worms. But she still won't forgive him for peeking on her in the shower in the place.
This causes the black hair CPU to shakes her head immediately.
Why am I caring about a fool who saw me? The CPU thought as she continued down the exit of the dungeon right now.
(Back with the Riders)
"You're lucky that CPUs can't use Clock Up." Azuya remarked.
It wasn't until Jin's phone suddenly rang and Jin picks it up immediately.
"Hello?"
"….."
"I see. That place? Good work, captain. Just make sure every soldiers get treated." Jin said, looking interested.
Jin soon end his call before looking at them.
"What was that about?" Azuya asked curious.
"A squadron manages to blow up an abandon factory with Worm nest. It's a good thing that they didn't get killed." Jin explains.
"You didn't go with them?" Kabuto Zector asked.
"They could takes care of themselves." TheBee said.
Jin got up from his chair and went to the door.
"How about I show you guys how does ZECT operation here in Lastation?" Jin asked.
"Sure." Ran said.
The two Riders followed Jin from behind as they made a turn after reaching a hallway. They soon saw a glass room with scientists as they're doing something to the Worm's corpse.
"Are they dissect it?" Ran asked. Jin nodded.
"As you can tell from the glass room, this is where they're doing researched on Worm's originate whenever we brought back a corpse." Jin explains.
"Why?" Azuya asked.
"To developed weapons capability of dealing with the Worms." Jin explains.
"That seem useful." Azuya said with a nodded.
"Well, there is one time when we actually brought back a Worm's egg for researching before it become really messing job to clean up." TheBee said.
"But that project didn't make any progress." Jin said.
It wasn't until the three went to another glass room as they saw ZECT soldiers were practicing with their weapons against incoming objects at them.
"What are they doing?" Ran asked.
"That is the virtual training simulator. It was intended for a virtual game system that failed some years ago, but we manages to reprogram for training the soldiers when it comes to dealing with Worms and Monsters in the Dungeon." Jin explained.
Azuya let out a whistle. As a techy guy himself, he finds this stuff could impressive.
"That is so cool…" Azuya said in awe.
They soon saw the soldiers encounter virtual Salis Worms gather around them. The soldiers began to firing against the Worms at the same time before each one of them exploded except for one changing into an evolved into a blue color humanoid insect with antennae.
Soon the Worm goes into Clock mode before vanished in front of them. The soldiers soon group with each other as they watching others' back.
"That was Clock Up…" Azuya said.
"Here is the interesting part," Jin said with a grin.
Soon one of the soldier turns before firing at one direction on his right and the Worm reappeared before taking hits from the attack.
"Unlike the ZECT in the past, these guys can see Clock Up movements through their helmets." Jin explains, "I call it ZECT visions."
"ZECT visions…?"
Soon the other soldiers firing against the Worm together until the Worm blows up immediately.
"Whoa… That is so cool!"
"Sure, it is." Jin said. "Do you guys want to try it out?" He offered.
"Yes!" Azuya said.
Ran looks at both of them before he nodded.
"I am in." Ran said with a smirk.
After the soldiers left, the three Riders went into the room as Jin pressing few keys on the keyboard right now. Soon the room starts to glow as they weren't in the room anymore, but the forest right now.
"This is amazing, aibou." Kabuto Zector said.
Ran looks around as he doesn't see Azuya or Jin around. He suddenly hears movements and saw the virtual Worms.
"Let's go, aibou. Henshin!" Ran shout.
"HENSHIN!"
Ran soon transformed into Kabuto with his gun ready in hand.
A cloak figure is reading a report from his agents as he frowned.
"I see, these two were assigned to protect Purple Heart by Histoire." He pondered. He then pressed a button and called someone.
It wasn't until a figure arrives to the room.
"I need you to kill these Riders and steal Purple Heart's power." He ordered. "If anyone else try to get in your way, killed them. After you're the first of our kind to deal with CPU's power."
The figure looks at the pictures of the Riders before smirk. "As you wish, my liege. I won't let you down. After I will replaced the CPU, Purple Heart." The figure said in a feminine voice.
Even though her appearance couldn't be seen in darkness, her eyes glows are crystal blue with irises resembled power buttons.
Next time…
"Hahahahaha!" Purple Heart is destroying part of the city with a sword swing.
"Why are there two of me!?" Neptune asked.
"I will crush you… fake." Neo Kabuto said.
Next time- Neptune and another Neptune!?
