Welcome to Gaia! ::

Anku turned to face Ryan as Kio placed a hand over his eyes. "Dude...bad joke..realy bad."

"Would you like to see just how hard i can hit you? Go on..make another bad joke."

"Huh? whats wrong dude? What did you find?"

*During the next day, Hiraku lied in bed for much of it, replaying the last night in his head. Having gone from not fighting often to fighting again so much, it was hard to resist the urge that kept him alive for the past few years. It was second nature that had been programmed into him. Last night brought forth that chapter again and he knew it wouldn't be the last of the fighting. If anything, things were going to begin picking up even more. Not only were there odd, incomplete digital replicants of monsters, but there were the other riders who had arrived and already begun to attack him. Things were no different than before, with the exception of his belt being restricted and being trapped in one place.

Sighing a bit at another night with not much sleep and another day with problems, he got out of bed. After getting ready, he left to go for yet another walk. Not long into it, his stomach began to rumble and yell at him. It had been a bit since he ate, so he decided to fill himself up to ensure that he could defend himself if attacked again. Not sure of what to eat however, he combed around and tried to find a good place to eat. Finally settling on a place to eat, he went inside to order and purchase his meal. Taking it outside, he found a nice table in public view to sit down with his food.

As Hiraku ate his food and tried to relax a little, he felt something was watching him. Getting annoyed, he attempted to ignore it and go on eating. A short bit into his meal, he slid out a soda can from his vest and quickly tossed it into the air so no one would notice him toss it. In the air, the can flew up a bit then vanished from sight. Casually eating more of his food, Hiraku savored it a bit before confronting the person watching him. He looked up to Eiji, sitting down next to him and opening the soda up.*

You sure know how to lure me out... Infernal human concoction this thing is... *Eiji took a sip of the soda*
I wouldn't have to lure you out if you weren't the stalking type.
Better to be unseen than make a ruckus. I have improper lackies for that.
So your the one who created those things to attack me and that rider?
Kamen Rider Tooth? No, I didn't send him. That was a hilarious consequence. I did find and re-purpose those replicants of lessers to make you less stir-crazy. As for where they came from, I don't really know nor care much.

*Hiraku glared at Eiji when he admitted this. They had an understanding about Hirakus... condition and how he wanted to avoid battle. Eiji responded with a chuckle and a smirk, he knew he was agitating Hiraku by doing so and by bothering him so soon about it. Eiji sipped more of the soda as Hiraku finally responded.*
Fang must have just been in a bad place at a bad time. That doesn't excuse having things attacking me though. Unless you want to go back on the..
*Eiji interrupted Hiraku by nearly slamming the soda on the table, then leaning over and looking him in the eye instead of having his hat cover his face*
I know full well what I can and can't do under that. This in no way violates it. Besides, you just don't want to admit to yourself that you needed a good fight after all this time.

*Eiji sat back down, adjusting his hat to block his eyes a bit again. Hiraku slowly responded.*
It was... better than sulking about and waiting for something to happen. Despite that, don't have them attack me again. They probably found out we're here, especially if the riders have found out already.
Riders, eh? I wouldn't worry about them much. They don't seem experienced in combat too much. If they are, then they are stuck in the same locked state we're in.
I'm only worried since I have to depend on them. You do too, after all.
I don't have to depend on anyone. If I wanted to, I could eliminate every rider who gets trapped here and every human as a side project. The only reason I choose not to is because I need you alive in order to get out of here myself.

*Angrily, Eiji drank more of his soda. It was almost out and he was certain when it was done, he would go out for more then return to his "hidden lair". Hiraku drank some of his coffee then looked directly at Eiji*
If I am to survive and be your ticket out of here, I'll need their help. Your too wishy-washy to be trusted to help me in a fight. Too weak as well.
Trust me, I could have done much worse than send two lessers at you. If they were any real danger, I wouldn't lead them directly to you. You needed the warm-up and I gave you one.
I don't need that kind of help. That's why I'd rather go with those riders than deal with monsters that may slip into this world or you.
Such hurtful words... *Eiji downed and finished his soda, crushing the can in his hand without squeezing his fist. The can crumpled up and became a sphere of metal which then flattened more to make a shape. After a faint flash of light in his hand, he cupped the finished product and placed it in a napkin sitting on the table. As Eiji stood up, he put it infront of Hiraku.*

Just to show you how nice I really am, this is on the house. I'm sure your precious treehouse club will enjoy it. If you need me, you know how to lure me out of hiding. Though to be honest, it will take more than a flat soda to do so next time.
*Hiraku undid the napkin, seeing an OOOs style medal inside. He paused a bit, ignoring the remark about the soda being flat.*
Why give me a cell medal?
It was formed by your greed, "Hiraku". The greed to survive. I "forged" it to do something special because of that greed. I'm certain one of your new buddies will enjoy it. Just be sure the soda isn't flat next time, or I won't tip again.

*Before Hiraku could respond, Eiji was gone again. With a sigh, he set the medal down and continued eating his food. The feeling of being watched was gone, but Eiji was pretty good at blocking peoples perception of him so Hiraku couldn't trust that feeling. It annoyed him slightly at first that Eiji had been so agitated over a free soda being flat, but he became more distracted by why Eiji had given him a cell medal. As he finished his food, he looked the cell medal over a bit, noticing that it had no basis of an animal but rather a circle pattern. He sat puzzled over this for a while, before getting annoyed at the idea that Eiji could show up again at any moment. Taking a sip of his coffee, he went back to analyzing the medal.*

"Its possible," Ryan murmured before getting up. He paused briefly beside Shoutarou. "Can you handle this?"

"Wha, where you going?" Shoutarou asked worriedly.

"Just need to think things out. I'll be back in a bit." Ryan said, already walking to the door.

"Alright. Be careful"

Ryan drove off to a remote area. Seems good enough, Ryan thought as he began to train.

As he trained, his mind began to race again as thoughts of the last couple days began to replay. It doesn't make any sense. What could the Foundation have to do with this? What could they have possibly done to bring us here? Could it be... could it be that they created a rider that could warp reality itself?! How? And that mysterious rider the other day, what does he know?

*Ryan's heart began to race. The Fang memory was pulsating even more violently now... *

*While Ryan was deep in thought when several monsters, including a grey Dopant resembling the Energy dopant, appeared. Ryan finally looked up and and was shocked to see that particular Dopant.*

"That's not possible! Double defeated you." Ryan yelled as quickly transformed and started fighting, but differently then he usually did. It was more aggressive, more unrefined.

((I'll be cleaning this post up off and on, be prepared. Also, no interfering. You "can" appear or something when my character loses consciousness. mad ))

*After finishing his coffee, Hiraku got up and threw away his stuff as he walked off into the stream of people once more. He kept the cell medal hidden away in one of his pockets, ensuring not to lose it since Eiji seemed intent on him having such a worthless piece of equipment. As he walked, he realized he had to replenish his supply of bait.

Walking into a local gas station, he grabbed one of the most carbonated, caffeine enriched sodas they had to offer and payed for it before leaving. As he went back into the traffic of walking people, he slipped the can into the pocket again and sealed it with the button that was on said pocket.

Continuing on his way, he decided to head off towards the center of town randomly. As he turned to go there, he noticed a person stumbling through people and shoving his way screaming something about monsters. Sighing a bit, Hiraku decided to go check it out.

Going the opposite way as the person who had been fleeing for dear life, he came across a destroyed area where some monsters obviously were flossing their teeth. Looking at the destroyed bits of the surroundings, he came to the conclusion that the monsters weren't far away.

Following his intuition, as well as minor clues like scrape marks on the ground, he came to see a group of monsters and once again saw Fang. This time however, Hiraku wasn't the one Fang was attacking. Hiraku decided to watch the fight despite the urge to rush in and take everyone at once.*

Kio saw people running away and figured it was a monster. He dashed off, heading towards the area were the monsters were fighting. He was on the opposit end of the fight, facing Hikaru but not noticing him. He blinked and gasped as he saw fang going beserk. "Ryan! Dude get ahold of yourself! Come on man fight like you normaly do!"

Fang, now completely out control, didn't hear Kio. He however noticed Era, an apparent threat, was "attacking him.

He started to charge at Era.
