\u201cThere!\u201d called Megumi as she pointed out something from the Observation Deck.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cWhere?\u201d asked Tarantulas.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cRight there!\u201d insisted Megumi as she put her finger on the window where she saw something. \u201cThat was the flash of an anti-graviton beam hitting a mine!\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cThus disabling its replication abilities,\u201d finished Tarantulas.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cPrecisely! Didn\u2019t you see it?!\u201d hissed Megumi.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cI\u2019m afraid not,\u201d sighed Tarantulas.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cEver since you and the Brigadier were aware of it,\u201d protested Megumi, \u201cyou\u2019ve been pestering us to take down the mine field and now that we\u2019re doing so, you can\u2019t even see it?!\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cWeak optics,\u201d explained Tarantulas.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cPardon me?\u201d asked Megumi.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cI have poor optical sensors,\u201d elaborated Tarantulas. \u201cSomething that carried over from a Tarantula beast mode. Now, Waspinator, he had EXCELLENT vision, despite all the mishaps he had. I suppose he needed it more than me.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cThere\u2019s another one!\u201d cheered Megumi as she pointed out another flash.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cI\u2019ll have to take your word for it,\u201d sighed Tarantulas.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cWhen we disable all the mines, we\u2019ll be detonating ALL of them,\u201d declared Megumi, \u201cand I promise you, weak optics or not, you\u2019ll see it. Now, I\u2019ve got an exam to…\u201d Just then, the alarm sounded. \u201cNOW WHAT?!\u201d shouted Megumi, frustrated that her study plans were stymied.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cAll inhabitants on Vorton, Beyond City is under attack by Cyber-Leader Gi and her Cybermen!\u201d announced POmega. \u201cRepeat, Beyond City is under attack by Cyber-Leader Gi and her Cybermen!\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201c…THE CYBERMEN!?\u201d wailed Megumi. \u201cFirst, my husband gets taken away by an interdimensional event! Then, my friends get on my case about potentially breaking up the F.N.S! Now, the Cybermen are attacking Beyond City! How\u2019s a girl supposed to get any studying done with life always stressing her out!?\u201d She headed to the Gateway Room and met with Batman, Emily, Dell, Jandro, Wilson, and Agus.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cI don\u2019t suppose you would object to assistance?\u201d offered Jandro.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cCan you fight?\u201d asked Megumi.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cI\u2019m skilled in Tal-nar-thendir,\u201d replied Jandro.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cOrbak told me about that,\u201d interjected Batman. \u201cIn the ancient Vampire language, it means Style of Blood, a deadly form of martial arts.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cI\u2019m a Komodo Dragon,\u201d supplied Agus, \u201cso if anyone needs a venomous bite, I\u2019ll supply it.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cAnd Quokkas DO bite if we\u2019re threatened,\u201d called Wilson, \u201cso I can help as well.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cThat\u2019s all I need to know,\u201d declared Megumi. \u201cPOmega, Beyond City, please.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cBeyond City, coming up!\u201d obliged POmega. The rift then opened.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cCHARGE!\u201d called Megumi as everyone leapt into the rift. They tumbled through it, then arrived at Beyond City. All local armed forces, the army, SWAT, the Police, everyone with a gun was leveling said instrument of destruction at the Cybermen. Cyber-Leader Gi. Megumi noticed she had gold trim on her. \u201cI though gold was toxic to you guys!\u201d she called. That caught Gi\u2019s attention.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cMegumi Hishikawa,\u201d she droned, \u201cleader of the Vortex Riders. Student at After Academy. Resident of Beyond City. Commander of Vorton. I had expected Moon-kyung to meddle in my affairs. To answer your question, we have upgraded ourselves so that gold does not affect us.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cHiro promised us,\u201d called Megumi, \u201cthat he would not attack us in any way. Leave Beyond City at once, Cyber-Leader Gi!\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cThe Cybermen are no longer under Hiro\u2019s control,\u201d replied Cyber-Leader Gi. \u201cI have been upgraded to Cyber-Planner. I command ALL Cybermen.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cLovely,\u201d sighed Megumi. \u201cHow did you split from Shocker Rift?\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cAid came to us in the form of Caan,\u201d answered Cyber-Planner Gi.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cYou\u2019re playing with fire!\u201d warned Megumi.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cI have the needs of the Cybermen to consider,\u201d dismissed Cyber-planner Gi. \u201cI require more. What I have brought will bring more Cybermen to the fold.\u201d The Cybermen then turned a machine on.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cWhat is that?\u201d demanded Megumi.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cRapid Advanced Brainchild: Bio-Integration Transformation,\u201d explained Cyber-Planner Gi. The machine opened, revealing a cavernous maw and a mechanical rabbit.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cWhere?\u201d asked Megumi.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cRight here,\u201d replied Cyber-Planner Gi as she gestured towards the rabbit.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cWhat, behind the rabbit?\u201d asked a Police Officer.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cIt IS the rabbit,\u201d answered Cyber-Planner Gi. \u201cRapid Advanced Brainchild: Bio-Integration Transformation, RABBIT, if you prefer.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201c…YOU MECHANICAL TWIT!\u201d shouted the Police Officer as she holstered her gun, convincing all but the Vortex Riders and their friends to relax. \u201cYOU GOT US ALL WORKED UP OVER A STUPID RABBIT?!\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cOfficer,\u201d Megumi advised, \u201cI\u2019d be careful about RABBIT! If it\u2019s made with Cyberman technology, we might be in for an unpleasant surprise!\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cLike heck!\u201d argued a SWAT guy. \u201cThose guys almost made me wet my pants, I was so scared.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cRABBIT might have something that could kill the lot of us!\u201d urged Megumi. \u201cI must stress caution!\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cLike we need to be scared of rabbits!\u201d dismissed a soldier.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cIt could do us in!\u201d hissed Megumi.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cYou malfunctioning tin cans!\u201d called the SWAT guy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cSir, taunting them\u2019s not a good idea!\u201d yelped Megumi.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cWhat\u2019s the rabbit gonna do? Nibble our butts?\u201d asked the SWAT guy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cWe can\u2019t be too careful!\u201d continued Megumi.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cSomeone go dismantle it,\u201d called the Police Officer.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cI got it!\u201d called her fellow Officer. \u201cSilly little rodent! One dismantled rabbit coming right up!\u201d He moved towards the Cybermen\u2019s new weapon…and it struck! RABBIT\u2019s head split down the middle and attached itself to either side of the head. RABBIT\u2019s tummy split down the middle as well and attached itself to both shoulders. RABBIT\u2019s rear finally split apart and attached itself to each of the poor man\u2019s hips. All of the attached pieces then activated an electric charge that made him convulse in pain as metal spread across his body and the parts created handles on the head, a chest unit, and metallic boots! RABBIT then detached itself from the man and reassembled itself into its rabbit form. The police officer was gone and, in his place, stood a new Cyberman! \u201cCyber-unit 2\/Z\/007: online,\u201d droned the new Cyberman.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cYou were warned,\u201d Cyber-Planner Gi called to the crowd.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cI just wet myself!\u201d squeaked the SWAT guy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cRapid Advanced Brainchild: Bio-Integration Transformation,\u201d announced Cyber-Planner Gi. \u201cA portable Cyber-converter. You were warned and were foolish enough to not heed Megumi\u2019s advice, even when she is the most logical person to listen to, given her experience with us.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cOH, ZIP IT!\u201d shouted the first Police Officer. \u201cCHARGE!\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cCOME BACK!\u201d shouted Megumi. Too late. The crowd charged and tried to attack the Cyberman. Unfortunately, RABBIT struck first. It attached itself to a SWAT woman and converted her into a Cyberman, then moved towards a soldier and converted her, then a Police Officer and converted him, all while the rest were tiring themselves from fighting the Cybermen.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cFALL BACK!\u201d called the first Police Officer. \u201cWITHDRAW!\u201d Everyone got away while the Vortex Riders and their allies covered the retreat. Cyber-Planner Gi raised her hands, a signal the Cybermen took as \u201cHold Fire\u201d. They stopped shooting as RABBIT reassembled itself.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Once everyone got away, they all panted as they rested. \u201cHow many…did we lose?\u201d gasped the first Police Officer.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cGwen, Cassandra,\u201d reported a SWAT girl.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cAnd Tommy, that\u2019s five!\u201d panted the first Police Officer.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cThree,\u201d corrected Jandro. \u201cIn any event, we\u2019d better not risk another frontal assault, that rabbit\u2019s a demon-machine!\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cMaybe we could confuse the Cybermen if we fall back further?\u201d suggested the SWAT guy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cShut up!\u201d snapped the first Police Officer. She then sniffed the air. \u201cUgh! Go change your kilt!\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cMaybe…maybe we should taunt them!\u201d offered the soldier. \u201cThen, they\u2019ll become so cross, they\u2019ll make a mistake!\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cLike what?\u201d asked the Police Officer. The soldier floundered in trying to give an answer.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cBesides, the Cybermen have ZERO emotions,\u201d muttered Megumi. \u201cTaunting them will do no good.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cNo, but new Riders will,\u201d came a voice. Who should walk towards the crowd but…<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cSento!\u201d called Megumi. There, in all his egotistical glory, was the theoretical physicist, Kiryu Sento, Kamen Rider Build!<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cHaving a bit of trouble with the Cybermen?\u201d asked Sento.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cThree of the armed forces have been converted by the Cybermen\u2019s new toy, RABBIT,\u201d explained Megumi.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cI know, you already briefed me on that,\u201d replied Sento. \u201cOr, rather, your future-self did, the 70-year-old one.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201c…Are you…?\u201d quizzed Megumi.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cYou didn\u2019t notice I\u2019m older than the last time you met me?!\u201d yelped Sento. Upon closer observation, there were a few wrinkles on his face and his hair had developed some grey in it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cNever mind his age!\u201d rasped Batman. \u201cSento, you said \u2018new Riders\u2019.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cI did, didn\u2019t I?\u201d snarked Sento. He then produced three Chronicle Drivers. \u201cLet\u2019s see, this one\u2019s for Jandro, this one\u2019s for Agus, and this one\u2019s for Wilson.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cSento, they\u2019re visitors!\u201d protested Megumi. \u201cYou can\u2019t expect them to be Kamen Riders!\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cThey\u2019re going to be valuable to you in the future,\u201d assured Sento.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cI can\u2019t ask them to risk their lives like this!\u201d insisted Megumi. \u201cThey haven\u2019t even gotten home yet!\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cWith all due respect,\u201d interjected Jandro, \u201cI don\u2019t know about Dr. Atmadja or Mr. Andrews here, but I\u2019m perfectly willing to risk MY life. I have the endurance necessary to keep up with the Cybermen.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cI would like to see how the transformation works,\u201d mused Agus.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cAnd the Kamen Rider<\/em> franchise is still going strong where I\u2019m from!\u201d cheered Wilson. \u201cI\u2019ve ALWAYS wanted to be one!\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201c…There\u2019s no dissuading you, is there?\u201d asked Megumi. All three of them shook their heads. \u201cAll right, fine, you can fight. Do you know how to work them?\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cVictor showed us how it was done,\u201d explained Agus.<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cThen let\u2019s get started,\u201d muttered Megumi. \u201cOfficer, let us handle the Cybermen.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cUnderstood,\u201d replied the Police Officer.<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cHere we go,\u201d declared Megumi as the Riders and their allies approached the Cybermen.<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cYou propose to challenge us yourselves?\u201d guessed Cyber-Planner Gi. \u201cA futile maneuver.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cThat\u2019s for us to find out,\u201d chuckled Sento as he produced a pair of Fullbottles. \u201cS\u0101, jikken o hajimeyou ka?\u201d (Now, shall we begin the experiment?) He then shook the Fullbottles and twisted the caps before inserting them into the Build Driver.<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cTIME LORD!\u201d called the belt. \u201cTARDIS! BEST MATCH!\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cThe incident two years ago, with Sougo and Dr. Insano?\u201d guessed Megumi as everyone fastened their belts.<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cExactly,\u201d replied Sento.<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cVORTEX DRIVER!\u201d called Megumi and Emily\u2019s belts.<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cCHRONICLE DRIVER!\u201d announced Jandro, Dell, Wilson, and Agus\u2019 belts. I.d tags and Armor Auto-bios came out as Sento turned the crank on his belt, making the piping appear and form his suit.<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cARE YOU READY?!\u201d asked the Build Driver.<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cHENSHIN!\u201d everyone called. The piping then slammed onto Sento and formed Build in a new form. Megumi and Emily spun the wheels and the rest had pressed their belts\u2019 shelves down.<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cOpen! Turn! Imagine!\u201d called the Chronicle Drivers. New suits were formed. Dell became Construct. Jandro\u2019s suit evoked old Vampire armor, Agus\u2019 suit was designed for practical use, and Wilson\u2019s suit had a bit more decoration.<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cThe Wrench of Construct!\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cThe Shroud of Cloak!\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cThe Venom of Tox!\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cThe Tail of Lash!\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cKamen Rider Royal!\u201d began Megumi. \u201cEvil will ultimately bow to me!\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cKamen Rider Touch\u00e9! En Garde, thing of evil!\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cKamen Rider Construct! Let\u2019s do this Texas style!\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cKamen Rider Cloak!\u201d called Jandro. \u201cYou will be shrouded in defeat!\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cKamen Rider Tox!\u201d announced Agus. \u201cThe venom of failure floods your veins!\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cKamen Rider Lash!\u201d proclaimed Wilson. \u201cTwo hits! I hit you, you hit the ground!\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cI\u2019m Batman! The Dark Knight rises!\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cKODOKUNA TIME-TRAVELER! (The Lonely Time-traveler!) TIMELORDTARDIS! YEAH!\u201d called the Build Driver. The right arm and left leg evoked Time Lord art and his left eye looked like the collar of a Time Lord\u2019s ceremonial robes, all of them were gold. His right shoulder read TIMELORDTARDIS in Circular Gallifreyan. His remaining limbs and eye were blue and his left shoulder had a light on it. His right eye looked like the Doctor\u2019s TARDIS.<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cKamen Rider Build,\u201d finished Sento. He then ran his finger along the TARDIS eye. \u201cSh\u014dri no h\u014dsoku wa\u2026\u201d he announced before he made his fingers splay out, \u201c\u2026kimatta!\u201d (The law of victory is set!)<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cDelete them,\u201d Cyber-Planner Gi ordered her Cybermen.
