Day 1: The Beaver tribe had just finished our training field and were given a new job to reinforce some buildings in the Lion Temple. This would definitely serve our purposes. \u201cAll right,\u201d called Daisuke, \u201cyou want to be beast?\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cYeah!\u201d I shouted.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cThen we begin today!\u201d declared Daisuke. \u201cWe start by running through that maze!\u201d We got into position. \u201cGo!\u201d shouted Daisuke. We ran in and that\u2019s when I got the full brunt of it. Balls on chains whacked into my sides, sending me into the air. When I landed, a bunch of arrows whizzed past, one of them sticking into my butt. As I ran, a wall popped up and I ran smack dab into it. I passed out. Later, I woke up at the start with Daisuke shaking his head. \u201cWe have lots work to do,\u201d he muttered.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Day 4: I was doing some laps around the training field with Daisuke passing me a couple of times, but I was hardly sweating.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Day 6: Weight training was going miserably. Daisuke was lifting a quarter of a ton while I could barely lift 10 pounds.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Day 13: Chin-ups. My grip was so awful, I fell on my butt a lot.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Day 17: Swimming. This one went a little better. In fact, it seemed to make Daisuke change tactics. \u201cYou say Hiro tiger cyborg?\u201d he asked.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cYes,\u201d I confirmed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cTigers good swimmers,\u201d remembered Daisuke. \u201cWe going at this wrong way. We need to use tiger strengths, like swimming. Running also strength. We need to work on power in arms, tree climbing, and jumping.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Day 25: Daisuke\u2019s new Tiger regimen seems to be working. I was climbing trees rather well.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Day 28: I don\u2019t know the full details of what happened, but I can tell you what went on in my mind. Daisuke and I were sparring, rather brutally, I might add. I was falling on the kicks and punches of traditional fighting, but Daisuke grew up in the wilds. He didn\u2019t pull any punches. After a few minutes, he slashed across my face and something happened. For a while, my vision went red, and then I blacked out. I woke up looking at the ceiling of the healing hut next to the training field. \u201cWha\u2026happen\u2026?\u201d I asked, groggily.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cWe were hoping YOU could shed some light,\u201d replied Batman. He brought out a camera, showing what happened. When Daisuke slashed across my face, I twitched for a while. My face seemed to contort into a primal rage. My eyes\u2026were not human. If anything, they looked more beast like. All of a sudden, my mouth and nose elongated into a feline\u2019s mouth. My ears sunk into my head while rounded ears sprouted from the top. My muscles were rewriting themselves and bulking out while hair was sprouting all over my body. The hair was taking an orange color and black stripes were coming out too. My fingers and toes then unsheathed claws as metal piping sprouted from my arms, legs, and back. Monster-me then unleashed a roar and went on a savage rampage, knocking Daisuke off his feet. At that point, he crouched and got into a defensive stance, getting his fingers in a claw fashion as he snarled. He then raised his hands up, then crossed them across his chest, then uncrossed and raised them again.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cA-MA-ZON!\u201d he roared. His eyes turned a demonic red as his body changed. He turned into a lizard based Kamen Rider with a white scarf. \u201cAmazon!\u201d he announced. I presume this was the name Hiroki used for Daisuke\u2019s rider form. We charged at each other and grappled. It seemed I was fighting blindly, and Amazon saw this. He got the upper hand quickly and delivered an uppercut. I was sent spinning as Amazon leapt at me. \u201cJaguar Shock!\u201d he said before his helmet split apart enough for his teeth to sink into my arm. Apparently, that\u2019s when I passed out again and he brought me to the healing hut. I saw my arm in bandages and my own form in the usual human one.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cWell, that could have gone better,\u201d I sighed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cNo focus on bad,\u201d encouraged Daisuke. \u201cWe need know why you went nuts.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cIt seems like a scratch did it,\u201d I observed, \u201cbut why? I\u2019ve been shot at, blown up, stabbed at, poisoned, and what have you. A simple scratch to my face shouldn\u2019t have done that.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cWhen you finished healing, we continue training,\u201d declared Daisuke.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cSensei,\u201d (Teacher) I countered, \u201cwith all due respect, we need to finish training as quickly as possible.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cCan\u2019t do that when hurt,\u201d replied Daisuke. \u201cRest. Nothing will\u2026\u201d Tanisha\u2019s belt buzzed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cHappen?\u201d I said, completing Daisuke\u2019s sentence. \u201cWho is it? Vorton?\u201d I asked Tanisha. Her eyes went wide.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cNo, Vader. And he wants to meet in front of the Lion Temple,\u201d she replied.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cVader? You\u2019re talking about Darth Vader, right?\u201d I yelped. Tanisha nodded and I gulped.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cWho\u2019s Vader?\u201d asked Batman.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cA very dangerous man,\u201d gulped Tonje. \u201cOnce known as a Jedi Knight, Anakin Skywalker, he was seduced by Darth Sidious to become his apprentice. One of the best pilots in the Galactic Empire and one of the most powerful Sith Lords, Vader is a very skilled cyborg.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cAnother cyborg?\u201d hissed Batman. \u201cRobin\u2019s friend is one! That\u2019s enough!\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cRegardless,\u201d continued Tonje, \u201che also possesses a skill with something called the Force, that universe\u2019s name for magic, if you will.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cSo, a dark wizard, then?\u201d guessed Gandalf.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cA dark wizard\/knight, yes,\u201d I replied. \u201cAm I good to move?\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cMegumi, you\u2019re not about to agree to meet Darth Vader, are you?!\u201d asked Tanisha.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cI want to see what he wants,\u201d I declared. \u201cI\u2019m fully aware of his reputation in his native universe, but I want to hear him out, get a bead on who\u2019s side he\u2019s on and all that.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cHe\u2019s probably on Vortech\u2019s side!\u201d argued Tanisha.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cBut why would his master, Emperor Sheev Palpatine, bother?\u201d asked Tonje.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cSheev?\u201d I muttered. \u201cThat\u2019s his first name?\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cThink about it, you two,\u201d continued Tonje. \u201cPalpatine wouldn\u2019t dare have anyone over him. He\u2019s too power hungry for that.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cTrue,\u201d conceded Tanisha, \u201cbut who\u2019s to say that he won\u2019t bide his time like with the Republic?\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cAnother point,\u201d I muttered, \u201cthere IS the Rule of Two to consider.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cRule of Two?\u201d asked Hongo.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cThere\u2019s always two in the Sith,\u201d I explained, \u201ca Master and an Apprentice. And the Apprentice must kill their Master to take their place.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cYou think this may be part of Vader\u2019s plan to kill his master,\u201d guessed Batman.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cYes,\u201d I confirmed. \u201cWe\u2019re going to meet him.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
We arrived at the Lion Temple Entrance, where a vessel was waiting. The center cockpit was spherical and had connections to curved wings on the side. A hatch opened from the top, allowing a figure to jump out. There he crouched, with the Lions ready to strike at a moment\u2019s notice. \u201cLower your weapons,\u201d I called to the Lions. \u201cHe\u2019s been expecting me.\u201d The figure stood up. Standing at 6\u20197\u201d, the figure was clad all in black. His helmet evoked that of the Samurai, minus the crest. A control panel was on his front. A black cape was held by his metallic shoulder pads and a silver tube was clipped to his side. His breathing was deep and clearly assisted by the machinery that makes up a good chunk of his body. Darth Vader stared right at me.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cYou are wise to have them stand down, Your Highness,\u201d he said in his familiar booming, deep voice, \u201cIn any case, I am NOT here to fight, but to give you this.\u201d He held out a glowing orb.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cThat\u2019s a Chi Orb!\u201d called a Lion.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cFire Chi, if memory serves,\u201d mused Tanisha. Wyldstyle\u2019s scanner went crazy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cIt\u2019s also putting out the same energy signature as the Foundation Elements,\u201d she reported when she checked it. \u201cWe\u2019re being gifted the Element of this universe!\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cAnd your loved ones, bar a Mr. Hayato Ichimonji, a Mr. Dick Grayson, a Mr. Frodo Baggins, and a Mr. MetalBeard, are in Crocodile Swamp, under the combined \u2018benevolent\u2019 care of Shocker Rift and Crooler,\u201d boomed Vader.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cThen the ones you named are still on Foundation Prime,\u201d guessed Batman.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cCorrect,\u201d confirmed Vader.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cIn my universe, everything about you is detailed,\u201d I commented. \u201cI know you too well. What do you want in return?\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cA place in your organization,\u201d replied Vader.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cSay what?\u201d yelped Tonje.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cVortech had attacked my universe and nearly destroyed my master,\u201d explained Vader. \u201cThat kind of blood is reserved for the apprentice, so I want to show him the power of the Dark Side of the Force.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cBut we\u2019re practically Jedi,\u201d I argued. \u201cBesides, you have an army. Why come to us?\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cBecause this endeavor requires something beyond the scope of even the Emperor\u2019s command,\u201d replied Vader, \u201cyour power, the very power you\u2019re attempting to tap into, Your Highness.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cThen I see no reason to have a Sith Lord in my team,\u201d I declared.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cOn the contrary,\u201d countered Vader. \u201cYou and Kamen Rider Apocalypse may be our only hope to defeat Vortech, but only I can provide you with troops.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cYou think our team is insufficient?\u201d I asked.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cDo you really think guerilla tactics will stop someone like Vortech?\u201d boomed Vader. \u201cLike the Emperor, he doesn\u2019t need to worry about every single detail. He has many soldiers at his beck and call.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cYou can provide us troops?\u201d I ventured.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cIf you let me join, I can give you the vast resources of the Empire,\u201d offered Vader. It took a few seconds to consider.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cABSOLUTELY NOT!\u201d shouted Batman. \u201cDealing with a reformed witch and a living trashcan is bad enough but having an unrepentant villain in our ranks?! Besides, he\u2019s working his own agenda!\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cOne that\u2019s being interfered with,\u201d I countered. \u201cLord Vader, forgive my suspicion, but how long do you think our alliance will last?\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cAs long as mutually beneficial,\u201d replied Vader.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cAnd after we beat Vortech?\u201d I continued.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cI will return to my universe to destroy my master,\u201d declared Vader.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cLike with Starkiller?\u201d I quizzed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cMake no mistake,\u201d growled Vader, \u201cthis time, I will require no such apprentice.\u201d Judging by the tone, Vader needed my decision now.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cAll right, you can join us,\u201d I said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cMegumi, what are you doing?!\u201d yelped Tonje.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cMeg, NO!!\u201d wailed Tanisha. Oh, how I hate that nickname. Everyone in the F.N.S knows that!<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cWe\u2019re at war, right now,\u201d I declared. \u201cWe need soldiers.\u201d I then fired up my communicator. \u201cX-PO, get me in contact with Hiroki and Emily.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cWhat, no \u2018Hello, X-PO, I have an update for you on my training\u2019?\u201d snarked X-PO.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cJust do it,\u201d I hissed. X-PO grumbled, but I was soon connected. \u201cHey, guys,\u201d I called. \u201cHow are you holding up?\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cWell, the Dinobots, Beast Wars Dinobot, and the Dinosaurs they\u2019re based on are rampaging across the island to stop Igura, my childhood tormentor, and Beast Era Megatron in a techno-organic body from getting the Foundation Element,\u201d reported Emily. \u201cThe Genetically modified Dinos haven\u2019t been spotted, so I don\u2019t think they\u2019re joining in the fight. Oh, did I mention that we\u2019re in Jurassic World<\/em>?\u201d She then blew a raspberry. \u201cThe first movie was enough.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cNothing exciting on my end,\u201d commented Hiroki.<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cWell, I\u2019m about to send some your way,\u201d I sighed. \u201cMake all necessary preparations for Darth Vader\u2019s arrival. He\u2019s joining us in our war against Vortech.\u201d There was a long silence. \u201c\u2026Guys?\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cARE YOU OUT OF YOUR TINY LITTLE MIND?!\u201d shrieked Emily.<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cThat\u2019s the second time that phrase was used towards me today,\u201d I hissed. \u201cFrankly, I\u2019m getting annoyed.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cNee-san, you\u2019re talking about letting Darth Vader, a Dark Lord of the Sith, join us!\u201d yelped Hiroki.<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cHe gave us the Foundation Element of this universe, told us that our families are here, and can provide us troops,\u201d I argued. \u201cWe need his help.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cOh, how considerate of him!\u201d yelled Emily. \u201cThat will totally pardon his sins!\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cLook, I\u2019m not thrilled about it either, but we need every advantage we can get!\u201d I snapped. \u201cLord Vader, do you have Vorton\u2019s coordinates?\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cI do, Your Highness,\u201d confirmed Vader.<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cThen Hiroki will receive you and whatever troops you decide to bring,\u201d I replied. \u201cAnd, Hiroki, Emily, Vader is to be treated with respect, is that clear?!\u201d After a pause, I heard two people sigh.<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cCrystal clear,\u201d mumbled Hiroki.<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cWe understand,\u201d muttered Emily.<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cGood,\u201d I declared. \u201cI\u2019ll stay behind to focus on a new development that happened to me. I\u2019ll tell you all about it when I get back. Megumi Out.\u201d I ended communications. \u201cLord Vader, forgive us if the welcome is\u2026less than welcoming.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cI understand,\u201d replied Vader. \u201cI shall see you on Vorton.\u201d He entered his TIE fighter and took off. A rift opened for him and he went in.<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cMegumi, I must continue to object,\u201d hissed Tanisha.<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cNoted, and I will deal with the consequences if it turns out to be a poor choice,\u201d I commented. \u201cFor now, I need to control my animal side.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cNot control,\u201d argued Daisuke. \u201cThat always bad idea to try to control and suppress. Treat tiger side as partner, like you do with horse.\u201d The thought never occurred to me. I considered my sensei\u2019s words. In all honesty, it makes sense.<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cWhen do we begin again?\u201d I asked.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Five\u2026weeks. \u2026Five weeks since I came here, and only now does Hiro decide to move us. \u201cWhere are you taking us?\u201d I demanded.<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cThat\u2019s not your concern,\u201d hissed Hiro. \u201cWhat IS your concern is that you will bear witness to an experiment.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cWhat experiment?\u201d I asked.<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cYou\u2019ll see,\u201d said Hiro cryptically. We arrived at an intricate wooden structure. \u201cMegumi! I\u2019m calling you out!\u201d That was when a rock knocked him flat.<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cGo away, Hiro!\u201d roared my daughter\u2019s voice. \u201cI\u2019m busy doing much more important\u2026\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cMEGUMI!\u201d I shouted, hearing her. My daughter\u2019s head then appeared. She saw us and jumped down.<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cLet them go,\u201d she threatened, \u201cor I\u2019ll\u2026!\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cBegin the experiment,\u201d ordered Hiro. A burbling sound was heard as a tiny bit of goo appeared behind her. Sludgiona then sprouted and grabbed Megumi from behind.<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cLET HER GO!\u201d demanded Fred. Hiro took out a ring and flung it at Megumi. It opened up and slapped around her neck. Sludgiona then released her as the collar started shocking her. After half a minute, her face went into a primal rage and my sweet, little girl turned into a cyborg Tiger monster! She gave off a roar before she seemed to calm down.<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cYEE! YEE!\u201d reported a Combatman.<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cExcellent news!\u201d chuckled Hiro. \u201cThe Neuro-collar works! Megumi is now under our control! I have the perfect test! Megumi, snap Haruna\u2019s pitiful neck!\u201d What happened next will always scare me. She moved slowly to obey!<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cMegumi, please!\u201d I begged, tears coming down. \u201cI\u2019m your mother! It\u2019s me! Haruna Hishikawa! The one who saved you from his grasp once before!\u201d She advanced on me. \u201cMegumi! I beg you! Don\u2019t do this!\u201d She was right in front of me, her new form towering over me. Then, I heard a snap.<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cYES! THE TEST IS SUCCESSFUL!\u201d cheered Hiro. \u201cI can\u2019t believe it! I finally have my daughter under my control! We\u2019ll conquer the multiverse in a flash! We\u2019ll\u2026! What do you want?!\u201d he asked the Combatman that was tapping his shoulder. The Combatman pointed over to my location, where I was holding the crumbly remains of Okaa-san\u2019s (mother) handcuffs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cHashire!\u201d (Run!) I urged Okaa-san. When he saw Okaa-san run, Hiro goggled.<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cWha\u2026?!\u201d he spluttered. \u201cWhat are you doing?! I said kill her!\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cHiro-sama!\u201d reported the Combatman. It seems us Shocker Cyborgs can understand what the Combatmen are saying when they say \u201cYEE!\u201d \u201cThe Neuro-collar is being rewritten!\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cOverride!\u201d ordered Hiro as he lined up his sights on my mother.<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cI\u2019m trying!\u201d yelped the Combatman. \u201cThe transponder isn\u2019t\u2026!\u201d I didn\u2019t hear the rest of what he said as I ran towards Hiro, unsheathing my new claws.<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cKON’ARO!\u201d (shortened version of a phrase used when saying \u201cYou Bastard!\u201d) I roared. Now, that phrase is one to avoid if you want to stay away from a fight in Japan. In this instance, I was aiming to start one. I swiped at Hiro so hard, he was sent spinning into a nearby pond. I took the liberty of destroying the collar. Okaa-san made it to safety as she turned to the enemy forces.<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cIt appears my daughter still has a will of her own,\u201d she observed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cMASAKA?!\u201d (Are you kidding me?!) shouted Hiro as he got out, soaking wet. He turned to another Combatman. \u201cTrace the problem to its source and fix it!\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cThe problem is that you underestimated me again,\u201d I declared. \u201cDid you really think I wouldn\u2019t try to use this form to my advantage?\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cYou pest!\u201d snarled Hiro. \u201cYou learned how to master it?!\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cI had help from Amazon,\u201d I replied. Daisuke grinned. \u201cHe was getting me on the right track, but we had to deal with moments of uncontrollable rage. I blacked out during those events, but I took the time to meditate to try and understand that side. Now I know. It didn\u2019t know what its prey was. Now, it has a clear picture of you.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cBaka Ne!\u201d (You dolt!) insulted Hiro as he changed into his Cyborg form. \u201cI\u2019ve been using this longer than you have!\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cIkuze, Tora-otoko,\u201d I challenged. We charged at each other and fought like animals. Meanwhile, Batman and the others fought off the enemy ranks to free the rest of the hostages. It took some time, but our families were freed!<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cAll right, that\u2019s it!\u201d swore Hiro as he loaded his i.d tag. \u201cHenshin!\u201d I got out my own.<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cHenshin,\u201d I whispered. We then formed our suits and clashed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cI will enjoy ripping you in half!\u201d declared Rogue.<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cYou can try,\u201d I challenged. \u201cYou\u2019ll fail, like always. Super Charge.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cSUPER CHARGE!\u201d roared Rogue. We ran at each other as we became more powerful and drew our respective blades. We kept striking until we entered a blade lock. \u201cIt doesn\u2019t look like your belt hasn’t given you any more power!\u201d laughed Proto-Rift.<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cYou rely too much on your tech,\u201d I mused. \u201cBesides, I can see freed hostages right now, one of my objectives is complete.\u201d Proto-Rift whirled around to see Sheela\u2019s parents being freed. The hostages were safe in the training field. Hongo then struck his henshin pose as Tanisha and Tonje took out their i.d tags.<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cRider\u2026\u201d began Hongo.<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cHenshin!\u201d announced my friends. The trio then transformed and attacked the rest.<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cI\u2019ve just about had it! Dai Super Charge!\u201d shouted Proto-Rift. His bulky armor flew off and we ducked in time. Rift then charged our ranks, knocking me down in the process. \u201cYour heart may be in the right place, Megumi,\u201d he snarled before he kicked me in the chest. \u201cBut, you have much to learn before you can, ever again, hope to stand your ground against me. A moment, sadly, that will never come!\u201d He raised his blade.<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cA-MA-ZON!\u201d roared Daisuke\u2019s voice. Amazon then tackled Rift. \u201cJaguar Shock!\u201d he announced before he clamped his jaws onto Rift\u2019s arm.<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cGET AWAY FROM MY DAUGHTER!\u201d shouted Okaa-san before she leapt onto Rift\u2019s head and started slamming her fists down on his head. Rift then flung the two off him and grabbed their throats. At that time, my belt started glowing. I looked down, realizing what was going on.<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cAre you\u2026certain\u2026I\u2019m worthy of this power?\u201d I asked.<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cYou have no idea,\u201d assured Vortoranii. My belt then started compressing into its original shape, but it kept the cream and gold. While that was going on, Rift was talking to Amazon and Okaa-san.<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cI never faced you before, wild-man,\u201d he mused. \u201cAnd you, lady, oh, I remember you! You ruined what would have been the greatest experiment ever. So, if you will both kindly die, I will\u2026\u201d His voice trailed off as Amazon looked behind him. Hiro turned to see me with the new belt. His helmet\u2019s eyes showed his real ones went wide. He then tossed his captives to the ground and charged at me. I held my hands up in the air, like in my final Super Charge pose, rotated them down to cross in front of me, then moved my left fist to my hip and held my right hand out with my pinky and thumb down.<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cDai Super Charge!\u201d I announced. I then got into a fighting stance as the bulk of my armor flew off. My power increased and the previous armor struck Rift, knocking him flat. He picked himself up as everyone saw what I looked like now. I couldn\u2019t see, but I could feel the power radiating from me. \u201cBatman, Ichig\u014d, Wyldstyle, Gandalf, Hunt, Swing, Amazon-sensei, to me,\u201d I declared. All the people I named ran right to me and formed up. \u201cMinna, catchphrase time. I will finish this time.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cKamen Rider Swing!\u201d began Swing. \u201cI\u2019ll be taking your legs!\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cKamen Rider Hunt! I shall always get my prey!\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cI am Gandalf the Grey! Prepare to see some fireworks!\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cI\u2019m Wyldstyle! Time to think outside the box!\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cI\u2019m Batman! The Dark Knight rises!\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cI am the start of a group of warriors! I am Kamen Rider!\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cKamen Rider Amazon!\u201d called Amazon. \u201cI show you who is true king of jungle!\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cKamen Rider Vortex,\u201d I declared. \u201cEvil will ultimately bow to me.\u201d Rift twitched before he called up someone on his communicator.<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cDrop the mountain on them!\u201d he ordered. We looked up to see a mountain falling towards us. I readied my blade, charged it with energy, and swung it. The energy slash cleaved the mountain in two and the halves fell away from us. Rift was trembling in rage. \u201cKamen Rider Rift!\u201d he roared. \u201cStand and deliver!\u201d He readied his blade, but we were too quick for him. Batman threw a batarang. Gandalf charged it with magic, thus it exploded on contact with Rift\u2019s blade. Wyldstyle built a catapult, asked Amazon to step on, and launched him while Amazon readied himself for his finisher.<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cDAI SETSUDAN!\u201d he announced as he sliced into Rift. Ichig\u014d, Hunt, Swing, and I leapt into the air for our kicks.<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cRIDER KICK!\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cRIDER HUNT KICK!\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cRIDER SWING KICK!\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cRIDER VORTEX KICK!\u201d Our kicks hit their mark and we landed. Rift\u2019s transformation was canceled and Hiro started sparking. I got up to see that a look of defeat was in his eyes. \u201cHiro-san,\u201d I commented, \u201cI know we\u2019ve had our differences and tried to kill each other.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cI\u2019m not hearing this!\u201d snapped Okaa-san.<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cBut, I\u2019m not without mercy,\u201d I assured. \u201cLet us help you and I promise you WILL be safe from Vortech\u2019s wrath.\u201d I held out my hand. \u201cWhat say you?\u201d Hiro snarled.<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cYou\u2026just want\u2026information!\u201d he spat. \u201cAnd\u2026even if you didn\u2019t, I will never\u2026accept help\u2026from\u2026you! You\u2026robbed me\u2026of my advantage! You robbed me\u2026of any respect I\u2019ve had within\u2026Shocker Rift! You\u2026disgraced me\u2026in the eyes\u2026of Igura! I have nothing! And\u2026I will give you\u2026nothing!\u201d He stood up. \u201cShocker\u2026Gundan\u2026\u2026BANZAI!\u201d (Long live the Shocker Army!). He exploded, leaving nothing but ash. The enemy retreated, taking Sludgiona with them.<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cStupid man!\u201d shouted Hunt.<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cYes,\u201d I muttered, \u201cI was rather hoping he would accept.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cWhat for?!\u201d called Okaa-san.<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cHe was right,\u201d I replied. \u201cI needed information. I also wanted to show him that mercy isn\u2019t weakness. It seems he didn\u2019t accept that.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cVorton to Team Chima,\u201d called X-PO\u2019s voice. \u201cWe\u2019re reading a massive power signature. What\u2019s going on?\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cMegumi just became Kamen Rider Vortex,\u201d reported Ichig\u014d.<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cAnd there was a hostage situation here in Chima,\u201d I supplied. \u201cTell everyone that our loved ones are safe, but Ichimonji, Robin, MetalBeard, and Frodo are still in Vortech\u2019s clutches.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cAnd we\u2019ve got the Foundation Element!\u201d called Wyldstyle.<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cI\u2019ll open a rift!\u201d cheered X-PO.<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cEveryone!\u201d roared a voice. Lagravis, Crominus, and Ewald came running up. Lagravis clapped eyes on me. \u201cWho are you?\u201d he asked.<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cIt\u2019s me, Megumi, Your Majesty,\u201d I assured as we cancelled our transformations.<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cSo, your training is over?\u201d asked Ewald.<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cIndeed, it is,\u201d I confirmed. \u201cWe must be going now.\u201d A portal opened for us.<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cWill you stay with us?\u201d Hongo asked Daisuke.<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cI must go home,\u201d replied Daisuke. \u201cCall me if you need me.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cWe\u2019ll get you home when we get to Vorton,\u201d I promised.<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cBefore you go,\u201d called Crominus as he drew out a bag, \u201cmy son found these. Please accept them as a gift for getting rid of Shocker Rift.\u201d You guessed it. Studs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201c390,000 studs,\u201d counted Vortoranii. \u201cWe\u2019re at 2,004,000 now.\u201d A rift opened for us.<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cYou have my thanks,\u201d I said as I accepted the gift.<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cAnd you have ours,\u201d replied Lagravis.
