A lab of hope.
*Hans stands before his usual lab, his expression dark, full of disgust even.* All this idling is too much for me, the Eternal Divisor is nearing completion. I must make all right. *Hans checks his sword, his belt, and his pockets* I do not expect zero resistance, too long have I sought peace and understanding, while lives were lost by my own inaction. They. must. be. freed.
*A familiar man with silver hair and a red coat walks into the lab with his usual composed expression. He walks up to Hans with curiosity in his eyes.* What's going on? I haven't really been keeping up with the plans recently but it sounds like we're getting ready for our next move.
*Green eyes watch the man from a distance. Their owner doesn't know what's happening, nor what the man had created. But something gave them a bad feeling.*
*Hans looks up at the sky, addressing Yu.* You have the right of it, we've sat idle too long.
*Snipe walks into the lab right behind Yu, his hands in his pockets as he looks around the building. This plan seems quite interesting... Hopefully they can get everyone somewhere safer* So then I guess it's time to lend you my skills huh Hans? If we're making a move you can definitely count on my support today, now then what's the plan? *He absently pulls a Gashat from his coat and looks at Hans with a raised eyebrow*
*Yu takes a breath before continuing his inquiry.* So, what's our course of action now? Everything's become a bit messy since that battle a while ago. I'm not sure I entirely follow the current situation, to be honest.
*Hans reaches into his pockets, showing the variety of Nexite he's gathered thus far.* They claim stability, yet what of this? These crystals as you know, are made from instability. It warrants inquiry as to why after the core debacle, the amount and variety increased. *Hans puts his crystals back into his pockets* To be frank, we're going to need to erase the Nexus.
*The demon cat lashes his tail. Logically, Hans made some sense, but the demon didn't want this "order." The Nexus was his home now. The feline tenses up as he listens.*
... I'll agree only if we can be sure no one will die. *Taiga looks down and his fingers drift to the button of the Gashat* I'm a doctor after all Hans I can't simply agree to mass death, if you're sure it can be done safely though then I see no reason not to.
As per my last attempt to end this nightmare, I plan to evacuate all of the residents to a safe place. As to how smoothly that will go, I cannot guarantee.
*Yu looks down as Hans mentions the word erase. This was a goal he was previously aware of and one he had tried to help attain before but he was started to question his own actions and whether such a thing was something he should actively participate in.* Erasure... Is that really the only way? I want to help people but... Will this really help them?
... I see then, yes I'm in agreement with Narukami-san... Are you so sure that killing this place is needed? I can't exactly say that erasing a whole world fills me with hope Hans. *He sighs and runs a hand through his hair, the look in his eyes showing that for once Tagia has no clue what he's going to do* This plan seems needlessly brutal in some ways... If The Nexus will destroy itself maybe that should be allowed to happen? We might have better luck getting people out over time right?
*Hans has a deeply concerned look in his eyes* I know that you may not have been there, Taiga, but even if this place self-destructs, it returns. The only way for this cycle to end is to strike at the root of the problem. To stand against me is to stand against logic itself! I once dreamed of a peaceful life, then this place was thrust upon me. Did I ask to be trapped, never to see my family again!? No! This place consumes, and tears apart other worlds! Would you wish upon your friends, comrades, and loved ones to be torn away from each other, only to have a miniscule chance to ever see them again? If so, then all hope truly is lost...
*Mona cartwheels into the lab* Hey guys.
*Yu regains his composure and tries to remain calm about the situation at hand.* You're right... I never thought about trying to stop the plan though. I just wasn't sure if I had the guts to pull it off but even if I did step out of this war I still feel that if somebody tried to stop you with violence then I'd still interfere. Even if I don't like the idea of erasing the world I still know this is the best solution for everyone in the end.
*Taiga sighs and glances around the room.. in spite of everything he's seen so far he can understand the issue, the info Hans has shown up to now is sadly compelling. So against his better thoughts and with a grim look of determination Tagia Hanaya nods and points his Gashat at the air, clicking the button in a motion like a pistol going off before twirling it into his Driver* Second tactic. *He stands before the group in his usual Rider armor, Gashacon Magnum in hand* I understand Hans... This isn't something I can allow to continue anymore so, mission start.
This... *The Cait Sith looks at the red Evoker in his paws.* I can't let something like this happen... To just... Destroy this place... Dahlia would be upset if I let this happen, right? *He laughs a little and puts the Evoker to his head.* Let's make ourselves known. Magatsu Black Cat, Mamudoon! *A flash of red flames appears, but it is smothered by the deep darkness that reaches out for the group.*
*The feline creature looks at Snipe with confusion* Wait, who's this guy? Jeez, I really need to stop taking so many naps...
*Hans now has a more hopeful look* I'm glad that I could persuade you. Too many don't see reason in this world. *Hans brushes his lab coat* Well then gentlemen, follow me... *Hans flips open his briefcase revealing a key, he then places that key into his desk, it slides open revealing a set of stairs leading to an elevator.*
*Yu turns around in surprise as the darkness approaches.* Izanagi-no-Okami! *With a serious look on his face he crushes a card on his hand and Izanagi-no-Okami comes forth as Yu jumps away from the darkness. Izanagi-no-Okami spins its blade before igniting in a burst of fire to light the darkness up.*
[A figure in a black coat appears before the group. Their purple eyes gleaming, not blinking for a single second.] So, gonna destroy this place eh? Well don't blame you... that core has been getting worse.
*Hans draws his sword, and transforms into his Aqua form* Dammit, so we've been found already...
*Tagia darts out of the way of the darkness and looks around for Cait, his visor scanning the room in spite of the dark... If this had hit before his Henshin then it would have been bad* I don't know who you are creature but stand aside or be deleted! I prefer not to hurt people if it can be evaded but nevertheless my mind is made up! *As he darts closer to the cat his scan locks on and the pistol in his hand darts, Snipe darts around to Cait's side and tries to blast the Evoker from his hands. Whatever that is? He shouldn't have it*
Don't worry, I'm not here to hurt you. Actually... I'm here to strike a little deal.
A boy with a black suit a piercing red eyes walks up next to Cait. He saw the demon walk in earlier but decided jot to intervene until his curiosity got the better of him. Afterall, a good king never let's his subjects fight along. "It seems like I made the right choice. Demon, hear my words. I as the King of Bel will not allow self righteous people to enforce their ideals on the populance." Kazuya looks at Cait with a fierce commanding aura surrounding him. "So, would you like the assistance of your king?"
*The darkness parts, leaving Cait exposed. The Evoker is blasted out of his paws.* Gr... Force Dance! *4 green tornadoes are sent out. Three aim for Yu, while the other is sent towards Hans. He takes his chance to dive for the Evoker and summon M.B. Cat again.*
*Cait gives Kazuya a sharp nod in the split second of free time he has. King of Bel... those words shook him to the core.*
*Hans is sent back into the wall, but he quickly recovers and aims his blade skyward, placing into it a red keystone* I won't be stopped here, not yet!
Oh dear, and right when I was about to tell him my plan to destroy the Nexus. Should I come back some other time?
*Tagia ejects the Gashat and slams in a new one in a blur. Standing in the same suit as before plus wings and miniguns, rather than aim for an exact target the man lays down suppressive fire up on the new comer bullets flying towards whoever this boy is* Yet another foe stands before us huh? I guess I'll have to get more serious since our numbers edge is waning away!
Kazuya stares coldly at the opposition with a piercing gaze. He pulls a strange square device our of his pocket and opens it up as a red glow eminates from the machine before red sparks start wildly charging off it. "Your king commands it...come forth demon of roses and rein ruin upon thigh enemy! Jezebel!" Roses begin sprouting out of the ground around Kazuya as the grow larger and develop faces with sharp teeth. The largest rose appears behind Kazuya with a humanoid face that smiles twistedly at everyone. The roses begin spouting flames in all directions towards the opposition's in hopes to burn them all alive where they stand.
*Hans swings his sword with all his might, creating a gust of wind to block the flames* You know not what you're doing!
*As the flames and wind combine together to create a fiery torrent that goes after Yu 3 times Izanagi-no-Okami appears in front of him to block the onslaught of fiery tornadoes. Though they only do reduced damage 3 attacks certainly had a toll on Yu's overall health as small scorch marks appear on his clothing.* Time to get serious then...Henshin! *Yu touches his bracelet as it sparkles blue and surround his body forming a blue set of armor similar to Hans'.* Now, time for a counterattack! *Izanagi-no-Okami begins spinning its blades as sparks form and electricity fills the air. A fierce bolt of lightning forms out of the blade as it spins faster and faster before striking out at Cait specifically.*
*Cait hides behind Kazuya, pulling the Evoker's trigger now that he has cover.* Thank you, my lord. Magatsu Black Cat! Maragion! *The Persona yowls, creating its own fire to add to the flames.*
*Tagia looks on at the flames as wind clashes against them, in spite of that a few slam into his armor and the Rider gauge goes down a couple points. Regardless he takes to the skies hovering above the battle field with a glare aimed at the boy's device, whatever that is he's going to deal with the cat first, or would if Yu didn't have it. Instead he turns his miniguns to Kazuya again, this time aiming a hail of bullets for his device, those demons are bad news after all*
*The lightning hits Cait, but doesn't knock him down. With M.B. Cat's new form, its affinities have changed. Still, it's not a pleasant experience.*
As the bullets from Snipe fly at Kazuya some of the roses surround him taking the hits before falling to the ground and decaying away. The main rose head screams in rage before Kazuya gives it a sharp look to quiet it down. "It seems as if your the ones who don't get it. It doesn't matter what reason you might have, this is a battle of ideals and my ideals are that people should be left to their own devices rather than have interference from self-righteous people like you. This world is dictated by power so show me you have the power to prove your ideals as just." The eyes of the main flower head begin glowing as almighty beams begin striking down upon the building from the heavens causing explosions of light wherever they land.
... I honestly wasn't expecting this. [The figure looks over to Hans] You want me to take care of this kid? It should take like a minute or two. Hell maybe even a few seconds if he really has a death wish.
*A black butterfly shaped portal opens up, and Shaigis's head pops out* Boy, I'm glad that I let myself be replaced with that unstable core... Because Jesus Christ... *she pulls her head back in, and the portal disappears*
*The building stands unharmed, though any aesthetically pleasing bits have been blown away.* Yu! Get ready! *Hans's sword glows a vibrant red*
Or I could just watch the fireworks. Whichever you prefer.
*Yu looks over to Hans before summoning his person and having it drive its blade into the ground as Yu holds onto the Persona bracing for impact.*
I'm just gonna pull a Yu here... *Mona parqours from wall, railing and ledge until hopping on the shoulder of Kazuya. He then crawls around his back quickly jumps in front of Kazuya. Mona then takes his sword and holds it to his side, as he leaps forward, aiming towards Kazuya's leg as he flies through the air.*
...On a scale of one to ten, how screwed are we? *M.B. Cat meows.* Thought so. Random number gods, give us your blessing, nya! *The Persona screeches and charges at Hans, claws full of fear-inducing energy*
*One of the beams slams into Snipe sending him down to the earth and dropping his gauge to 75%. This one hurt a good deal but he's still got more* A battle of ideals eh? I guess I can understand that... If you want to clash over what we believe then fine kid I'll make sure you don't win! *He leaps back into the air darting further away from the boy as he continues to blind fire towards the roses. Hans seems to have something in mind so best save the heavy weapons for now*
*Hans swings his blade in a wide arc, cutting a dark red hole into the fabric of space and time* You there, Taiga! Get ready for an easy target! *The hole begins to suck everyone nearby into it, but not through it. Hans himself transforms into Vert Armor, and plants his blade firmly into the ground*
Kazuya looks at Hans with an amused expression before giving Jezebel another sharp look. The demon laughs as more roses form out of the ground and surround Kazuya. "Well, let's see what you can do then! Let's see the power your ideals hold!"
Kazuya suddenly starts getting sucked into the dark red hole as the roses grab onto him to try to keep him where he is. The rose Bush itself begins getting derooted by the shear force as Kazuya is barely able to gold on. "What the? What is this?"
*Magatsu Black Cat is forced to have a sudden change of plans. It digs its claws into the ground to halt its movement, then sends out a Mamudoon around itself to swallow those nearby.*
OOC: Oi, @Kazuya_Minegishi I think you ignored my attack
*Tagia smirks and draws his Magnum in rifle form slamming the Jet Combat Gashat into it's slot he takes aim for Kazuya's chest as the driver shouts out* [KIMEWAZA! JET CRITICAL FINISH!] *Suddenly a huge bullet shaped like a shooting range target flies towards Kazuya at super sonic speeds, the aim being to impale the boy upon it* THIS IS THE POWER OF A KAMEN RIDER
OOC: Sorry, a lot going on at once and I'm kind of a slow writer so I didn't notice. Anyway, shouldn't you be being sucked in as well?
OOC: That was the purpose of flying away, should have specified that before actually.
OOC: I was speaking to Mona, not you Snipe. I figured that's why you flew away.
OOC... Oh yeah he exists. I always forget about that.
OOC: Many people do, its alright. Mona's kinda a troll.
OOC: @snipe FUCKING WOT M8!? IC: *Mona uses the power of garudyne to blow himself away from the succ.*
[A cackle can be heard echoing throughout the lab, and from a rift in space appears Hazama's smug face.] My, you all started the party without me...how rude. Still, I do have a habit of being a little fashionably late, so I'll let it slide. I suppose you're getting things moving, eh Hans? Still, I don't believe I can support you this time. [Hazama presses the back of his hand against his forehead, and swoons.] Ah, you would destroy my home?! How horrible! [He smirks as the Ouroboros snaps into reality, coiling around it's master before lunging at the King of Bel.]
Kazuya gets a grip as the vines wrap around him more and Jezebel plants herself firmly into the ground. Just as he gets his bearings the large bullet hits him in the chest but rather than penetrate through him it just knocks the air out of him for a second as a red aura seems to reduce the damage greatly but still doesn't keep him from dropping to his knees as the vines barely hold him from getting sucked away. "So, this is your will..."
OOC: Sorry, I keep not reading before posting.
The Ouroboros flies at Kazuya as he's downed but at the last moment he looks up and has the vines lift him out of the way. "This was a good test but I'm not ready to fight for real yet. It seems even if I've recovered my memories my body still needs time to adjust to these new changes." Jezebel begins diging a hole in the ground and tunneling down as the vines pull Kazuya with her until he's out of sight as they both escape underground.
Damm you're still standing after that? I've hit the limits of this Gashat pretty much... But I won't go for the big guns yet! *He darts backwards and flips the rifle to a large hand cannon, rather than ramping up more Snipe simply aims a few rounds for Cait's head. Hoping to take the small demon out with steady aim instead of fancy tricks*
Wow! Such a... honestly boring battle... So we able to talk or all of you gonna just ignore me? Either way I can tell you, the core of the Nexus... isn't at it's best right now. [The figure pulls out a strangly shaped sword and begins sharpening it]
[Hazama scoffs, and the Ouroboros disappears in a green flash.] Hm, talk about easy. Still, he seemed like a tough customer, no? You lot should be on your guard.
*Cait tries to leap out of the way, but this only makes the bullets strike his chest instead. That would have killed a human, but demons were a bit different.* Th-that hurt... And the King's gone, too... *His head snaps up.* I got it... I just have to destroy it! Mamudoon! *Magatsu Black Cat is summoned despite its master's waning strength. Shadows cover the area as Cait makes a mad dash for the lab.*
*Hans returns to his standard form* I'd ask that you leave us be, nobody here has the time nor patience for whatever inane, needless, and frankly ultimately useless plans you have *Hans walks into his lab, motioning for those who fought alongside him to follow*
*Cait would soon find that the main entryway was built of Nexite, sturdy if not impenetrable* I'd ask you leave as well. Want for unnecessary violence is the making of an evil man.
*Yu rises up from his position and decides to follow Hans as Izanagi-no-Okami demanifests in a burst of blue flames.* Whoever that blue haired kid was he wasn't messing around...
*Yet again the man draws his Gashat preparing another finisher aimed right at Cait's legs... Or he would I'd he hadn't seen the locked door, instead he draws out his Gashat and returns to normal* Agreed, I'm not a violent person by nature after all... So please don't drag this out, you're beaten and I don't want to hurt you anymore.
I guess you want the Nexus and the people living here all to die. I can promise you that you will save countless lives... you just need to hear me out. Or would you rather let millions of innocents die? [They put the blade away and appear within the building] What do you say?
N-no... I... *Cait falls silent, then his eyes flash.* I... Remember now... Yes, Hubris wanted to- but- gah! *Magatsu Black Cat flickers between its normal and changed forms for a moment, then the two vanish in a flash of white light.*
*Hans awaits his fellows indoors* Come quickly. I'd prefer to avoid any unnecessary conflict after this first encounter.
Right, right. Let's be on our way. [Hazama proceeds onward with Hans, his grin widening.] We've got a world to destroy.
*Hans scoffs* I'd rather you not put it so bluntly..., but yes we have a world to destroy.
[Teddie rifts in, smiling.] I'm ready to fi-... [Then he has a look of disappointment.] Daaaw, i was too late.
*Tagia sighs at Hazama and shakes his head* Just because it's needed doesn't make it something to be Happy about... Even with our best efforts the evac might not be fully successful after all. How can you be so giddy about this? *Tagia walls through the doors with his hands in his pockets, muttering about Hazama's lack of concern*
Hello! Guy who's wanting to help you destroy the world! Am I not loud enough? Or is it that you have issues hearing? I can't tell.
*The bracelet shines as Yu returns to normal. Yu looks over to Teddie with a somewhat relieved expression.* Glad to see you're doing well still Teddie. Come on, we still have work to do here. You haven't missed all the action yet. *Yu gestures at Teddie to follow him into the lab.*
[Teddie begins to smile again and follow the people entering.] Well this ought to be interesting.
OOC: oh boy late post
Well... guess I'll meet you there then...
*Hans awaits his companions in front of his desk* Before we go in, tell me, what do you wish for in the world? Be it peace, or freedom, I must know where my allies stand.
*Yu walks up to the desk and looks forward towards Hans with determination.* I simply want to protect people. I want to save the people I've forged my bonds with. My friends are what got me this far so I'll go to any lengths to protect them even if I have to protect them from themselves. That's why I've come this far in the first place...
What do I desire? He...hehe....what a bombshell of a question, huh? I desire...a world where I can feel alive. Nothing more.
[Teddie walks up to the desk, smiling, wearing his sunglasses as always.] Honestly I'm a freedom type of guy nowadays, I enjoy being able to do what I want to.
Peace or freedom... *Tagia smiles as he considers the question* I guess I want both, people should be free to make their own decisions, and I won't just stand by and let terrible things happen either... A Kamer Rider fights for both those things to the bitter end if they must. That sounds like this law and chaos stuff I've been hearing about, and to me anyways just one or the other can't possibly be a good thing. *He looks around the path with a grin of determination on his face, actually not sounding disinterested for a change* I'm a Kamen Rider and I'll do what I can for people that's where I stand!
*Hans closes his eyes in thought* I have surrounded myself with the right people then. *Hans presses a lever on his desk, and the ceiling begins to open up, revealing a starry sky* Often have I stared at the sky here, often has it reminded me of home. What I wish for... is to embrace my family again one day, be it in death or in life. That is what I fight for, why I endure this suffering.
... I know the feeling, not my family but I've definitely lost people in this battle, even so I'm sti... Heh no not still, for a while there I pretty much gave up, but then slowly but surely I came to met people who actually brought out the good in me again. *Tagia leans back against a wall and stares up at the sky, thoughts of annoying brats who really aren't all that bad in the least coming to mind... Hopefully none of them get hurt in this* Anyways I guess we're getting this show on the road? *He turns down and looks at the others for a moment, a small smile crossing his face in spite of the rather dire actions they're about to take*
[Hazama looks up at the sky, holding his trusty hat in place with one hand.] I'm not too interested in going back to my world. It'd be a waste.
[Teddie, like the others, looks up at the sky.] I honestly don't really want to go back to my world, it's not really the best over there right now.
*Hans enters the stairwell that was beneath his desk* Time to show my hand then... *He stands in an elevator at the end of the stairs, motioning for his allies to follow*
*Yu walks into the elevator awaiting whatever may happen next.*
[Teddie looks over at him and enters the elevator, very curious about what will happen next.] This'll be reeaaal interesting.
*Tagia walks through the doors, closing his eyes and simply waiting for the beginning of whatever is going to happen*
[Hazama follows the group into the elevator, and stands cheerfully waiting the next development.]
*Hans presses the only other button on the panel, and the elevator begins descending at a rapid rate.*
*Soon the elevator comes to a stop.* Here we are... *Outside the elevator, a massive pillar stands alone, power coursing through it* Behold, our means of hope...
D'awwwww, does this elevator not have elevator music? [He begins to chuckle at his own joke.]
This reminds me of an altar. better yet, a cauldron. What's your plan with this thing, big guy? Gonna make it explode or somethin'?
ooc: woops late post
Color me surprised. Anyway, what does this thing do?
*Tagia examines the pillar, clearly trying to get a read on what exactly the thing is* Geez that's a hell of a thing Hans... I'm not sure on details but it's energy is obvious even from here.
*Yu steps out and walks to a corner simply waiting for Hans to explain the situation.*
*Hans stands tall, proud of his accomplishment* This is a device capable of surpassing even the strongest of wills, causing the Nexus to collapse inward on itself; however, it is not yet complete. It is missing a device to channel the energy such a feat would produce. Thus I will allow this time to be for any uncertainties to be removed. Soon, the final stage will begin, the finale.
[His smile becomes wider, very excited about that.] Now that right there, is a plan.
A device to channel a huge amount of energy? If I didn't know any better, I'd assume you wanted a Nox Nyctores, but this isn't my world. Do you intend to use that Nexite stuff from before, or perhaps something else?
So then we need more time huh... Okay then Hans what do we have to get? You can count on me to look for it as soon as possible. *Taiga grins at the man and considers what exactly could do that, perhaps a special Gashat of some kind made for the job? Tiny they might be but those things do deal with great power*
I'd need to find the last variant of Nexite, only with the True Six, can the final state be formed. This final state will act as the ultimate conduit for the power within the Obelisk.
Whatever the cost we have to do this. We've come much too far to turn back now. *Yu looks forward with a composed look as he briefly takes a moment to reaffirm his resolve.*
Do we have any idea where such a thing is? Also is possible to mod my Gashacon weapon to have Rift functions? If not just gimme whatever you've got laying around but I'd like to have one if you don't mind.
[Teddie is even more intrigued than usual.] Another version of Nexite? This one better be good.
Hm, so you want our help in locating this I'm guessing. Ah, the life of grunt work, how I didn't miss it.
[A voice echoes behind them all] I hope you all realize that the core is unstable. One shot to it just like that and you not only destroy the Nexus... but the people as well. The exact reason why I came to you to strike the deal.
Modify a Gashacon... hmmm... I wouldn't place it beyond the realm of possibility, but I have an alternative more your speed.
*He raises an eyebrow at the man and smirks* Do you mean a new Gashat? If so I'm game... As long it's not on the level of Kamen Rider Chronicle I should be able to cope with the power. *He sticks his hands in his pockets and looks up the sky once more, considering the possibility of a new weapon... Much as he'd rather not need it? Something to keep up with Brave could be helpful*
*Hans produces a blue Gashat from within his pocket* I developed this as a prototype to my keystone, but I could never obtain a proper replica of the Game Driver, thus it has little use to me. *Hans gives the Blue Gashat to Snipe; however, it lacks a name* I believe the creativity needed for developing these things fully, so it may be some time before it is fully usable, though I believe that after further development, it would be on par with your "Level 99".
Yeesh... maybe I should get a megaphone.
I know a guy who might help with that... He's a little odd but the man is a genius when it comes to Gashats, but if it can advance via use that might be best. He's not totally trustworthy so. *Tagia pockets the Gashat and examines it, perhaps he'll hit the GYM tonight and see how it performs in battle?* Either way thanks for this, I'll be sure to figure out it's true power soon enough.
*Hans exits the dome housing the pillar, setting out in search of the final variant*
Well this was a quite fun experience but i have some... things to reflect on. [He rifts out to who knows where.]
*Yu decides to leave the facility as well. Certain things felt...off to him in some ways. Nothing of his companions doing but he feels as if there may be another party involved with this that he's unaware of. However, despite these feelings he decides to drop such thought for now in favor of searching for the final variant as well.*
(Tagia slides the new Gashat from his pocket, swiping it like a knife to open a Rift before walking out with a smirk on his face, finally he's managed to get some teleporting of his own)
