[Kamen Rider Zeronos]

((It's alright. Just try not to do it again.))

[Ryoma Nagare]

Ichigo took a step back as he stared in horror as the purple rider aimed itself towards Yuuko. "No," he thought, "I can't let this happen!" Taking a step forward, Ichigo heard the low hum of the Typhoon. Grinning slightly, the blue, damaged, rider charged forward. Jumping just over Zeronos, he shouted, "Rider Kick!" The way Ichigo positioned himself, allowed him enough room to cancel out the attack if he was lucky enough for him to hit the target.

"This is weird.." Kotaro grumbled to himself. "I'm sure they're supposed to be around here.." It's been a while that he walked around to find the battle that Yuuko and Kai participated in. He knew he saw them from the other side of mirror, but since he didn't get out from that mirror right to their place, he had to find them again. And all the thing happening so far since he got to this town were getting in a fight and getting lost.

Suddenly he heard Kai's voice, shouting Rider Kick. "There they are!" Kotaro said with a happy tone. He left the battlefield, leaving the two alone while the first reason they entered the battlefield was to help him fighting his brother. It's been bugging him ever since he left to Ventara, only able to hope that nothing happened when he's back. It's true that they're alive, and his brother was nowhere to be seen after he met him earlier.

But he'd never thought that what he's seeing was really happened. Kai, as Ichigo, was aiming his Rider Kick toward James, the Strike, his new friend. "No way.. it can't be happening.. Riders are fighting each other again? And the two of them are good guys.." But the shock didn't make him waste his time watching the battle. He knew that there must be a good reason for this. Maybe some misunderstanding? Whatever the reason, it's only bring no good if it's continue like that. "Ichigo! Strike! What are you two doing?! We're all on the same side, you know?!"

[Yuuko Sakurai]

Yuuko looked over towards Kotaro and frowned, shaking her head a bit. "He lied to you." She said. "He's a bad guy. He said he's after Knight, but he attacked Kai who was fighting against Knight. He said that we're pests who need to be exterminated, then he tried to kill me. Kai is only protecting me." She said, still frowning beneath the Zeronos helmet.

Strike was annoyed with Kai. He turned to Kotaro. "Ah. Kotaro. I'm glad you could join the party. I was just dealing with someone. I need to get Knight for what he did. I'd never vent you, Kotaro. I want to help you get rid of your brother. What do you say? Help me out and I'll help you," he offered.

[Yuuko Sakurai]

"Don't listen to him." Yuuko said to Kotaro. "Would you rather betray your friends to have one person, a bad person, help you get revenge? Or would you rather help your friends, so they'll help you to defeat your brother?" She asked, stepping towards him.

[Shinigami Vayth]

"eh? what?" Kotaro tried his best to hear both's reason to fight each other. But the more he listened to them, the more confused he got. He didn't know what to do. He knew Kai was a good guy. He helped him dealing with Shinji who tried to manipulate him when he's first arrive in the city. Yuuko, which was always together with Kai, wouldn't be a bad guy either. Even though they didn't seem to have a good relationship with Alastar, the Agito, who's also his friend, but they never fought to this extent. Then that left with one last conclusion: James was trying to trick him as well. Suddenly he remembered what Rai said that he's too kind that he's almost like an idiot.

No, I'm sure that's not the case.. Kotaro shook his head, trying to convince himself that Strike was a good guy. "My brother isn't the matter here. It's a family dispute. I appreciate it if you want to help me, but I'll deal with him myself, or even kill him by my own hand if he's strayed that much." He took a few step closer to the two of them. "But I'm sure you this is just a misunderstanding. Strike and I both hunting Xaviax, which is one of the threat to this world. And I'm sure this Knight you're talking about is some kind of his right hand, right? Why don't we work together?" he paused for a second and turned to Strike, "..and just why did you attack her anyway in the first place?"

[Ryoma Nagare]

Hitting the ground, Ichigo moved himself close to Yuuko as his attention turned to Kotaro. "'I have a score to settle with him for what he did to Xaviax,' I believe was his exact words towards Knight," Ichigo said, quoting what Strike had said earlier, "If you ask me, I'd say that he's the one working for that Xaviax-guy." As he tried to reason with Kotaro, the blue rider kept one eye on Strike in case he did anything funny.

Why don't we work together?" he paused for a second and turned to Strike, "..and just why did you attack her anyway in the first place?"

"She annoyed me slightly, Kotaro. I aplolgize," Strike said bowing. "I'm sure we can come to some sort of alliance to defeat Xaviax. I can assist you in helping you defeat your brother."

[Kamen Rider Zeronos]

Takenori walked forward a bit, shaking his head. "You really shouldn't lie Snake-san. If you do, your nose might grow beyond the reaches of your flat little mask." He said. He then turned to Kotaro. "Perhaps I can clear some things up, at least for as long as I've been here." He then cleared his throat, also undoing his henshin in the process. "Excuse me, if I stay transformed too long it starts to burn away at my life." He said as the form of Kaixa disappeared from around him. "Now then. When I showed up, the green one and...a couple of others. I don't quite remember who." He said, looking at the group of Riders. "Were fighting a blue one with a gun. He had the ability to summon Riders and seemed to know quite a lot about other Riders. Furthermore, he seemed to be a bad guy, but not affiliated with the other organizations, kinda like Snake-san here. Soon after I arrived, he left. The one that looks like a bug was fighting that bat guy. I believe he's the 'Knight' everyone's been talking about. Knight then changed his form a bit, and would have probably killed the bug if Snake-san hadn't shown up, but don't take that as he's a good guy. Snake-san first attacked the bug and Knight left after I attacked him. Snake-san said something about getting revenge on Knight for something he did to Xaviax or whatever his name is. Now, I'm no expert, but I believe that means that Knight betrayed that Caviar and Snake-san works for California, unlike what he told you." He explained, taking only one or two breaths throughout the entire monologue. "Now that I've said that. It's your decision to believe me, or to find out the truth the hard way, possibly right before you get betrayed by Snake-san. By the way, my name is Takenori." He said, introducing himself, at a very random moment.

[Shinigami Vayth]

"Strike works under Xaviax?" Kotaro still couldn't believe what he heard. both this Takenori, Yuuko, and kai said the same thing, which he doubted that was a lie. And looking Strike apologizing made him even more confused. "Well, at least he apologize, right? I'm sorry guys, it's not like I don't believe you, but I.. just want to believe him one more time. he said as he walked to Strike, then turned to Ichigo and Takenori. "He's sorry already, then if you still attack him together, then I have no choice but to protect him. So let's stop this fight."

((anyway, does anyone ever heard of KR Black manga? it's 6 volume long. Unlike (or like?) the TV series, Kotaro is turned into a grasshopper monster by gorgom. the form is rather similiar to the TV series, unless he got 6 hands (like a grasshopper) and has an oval head like RX. Both Nobuhiko and Kotaro turned into the same thing, which no one can tell who's who when they're in their monster form. And rather than having henshin pose, they transform like KR Shin. I tried to find them on net, but I have no clue at all, and google don't help at all.. >.< ))

((I found a sidestory of it as part of this ZO manga. [x]))

Super-1 walked forward, nodding. "This guy's right. Takenori, I mean." He then turned towards Kotaro. "Hm..." He cocked his silver head to the side. "Have we met?"

((Sorry for not replying sooner. Been busy, haven't had much time for Gaia and what I have done is sort of random.))

Strike sounded surprised. "Kotaro, thank you," he said. He turned to the other riders. "Who's with me to stop Xaviax?" he asked. "If you follow me, I can take you to him, but it'll be tricky. The mirrors are like huge mazes. If you stick with me, you won't get lost," he told them. James turned to Kotaro. "Do you know where your brother is? Perhaps we can take care of him first before Xaviax," he suggested, swiveling his head.

[Kamen Rider Zeronos]

"I'll go with you, but only to keep an eye on you. At the first sign of betrayal, I won't be afraid to kill you. If that Kotaro guy is friends with the bug and the green girl, then he's a good guy. As such, I won't leave him alone with someone who'll stab him in the back." Takenori said, crossing his arms.

[Yuuko Sakurai]

"I...don't want to go." Yuuko said, remembering the fact that Strike tried to kill her only because she 'annoyed him slightly'.

"I'll go too!" Nagato shouted to the Riders as she walked down from her perch to the battlefield, her knife hidden in her sleeve again. "It sounds fun. This Xaviax guy sounds strong so you'd need as many people as you can get to stop him, right?" She asked, faking a smile. "How strong is he anyways?" She asked.
