Welcome to Gaia! ::

*Hiraku continued to walk through the city, the words of this Noburus character ringing in his mind. It was true, the riders were untrustworthy like monsters. They plotted against him, attacked him and have done things to force him to defend himself in the past. As much as this was true, monsters had done it ten fold more. Clenching his fist, he began to remember more betrayal before relaxing and remembering that he no longer was what he had been before. Not wishing to return to such things and fearing the overuse of his belt would bring it about in it's state, he sighed and sat down on a park bench, deciding to rest a moment while still in a public spot.

He tried to get his thoughts in order a bit as he took a rest, trying to decide who to trust or what to do. Hiraku knew Eiji wasn't much help and was the worst choice of the bunch to trust, given their fights over time and how Eiji continued to push him despite their agreement. The company behind the data monsters and whatever other evil was going on was the next worse choice to him, in his mind they were a part of why he was trapped here and figured they were the ones pressing the attacks. Noburus was seemingly thoughtful in the attempt to have Hiraku join him, offering the best deal so far outside of logic. Logic dictated however, that due to their power and without being in a transformed state that they were likely some kind of powerful monster which usually meant some kind of plot to destroy things.

Thinking things over more and suppressing the thoughts of things such as the kid who had been attacked twice now and his reoccurring nightmares, he tried to focus on who to rely on knowing very well that things were only going to get more intense. He couldn't risk being alone, but still doubted joining any part presented to him. In his eyes, no matter what choice he would pick would likely be the wrong one. Needing to clear his mind more, he closed his eyes and began to drift off on the bench, a mix of trying to direct his thought focus and passing out due to poor sleep.

Elsewhere, Dalton groggily began waking up. Feeling like a bus hit him, he stumbled out of bed and into the kitchen to get something to drink and cure the parched throat he was suffering from. After drinking a bit, he started heading out. Despite being weak from his body having fought the poison, his head spinning and his body feeling heavily weighted down, he continued outside in the interest of getting out of this place which didn't feel like home. As he went outside, he saw his bike sitting outside, as if he hadn't gone out and been attacked again and that it was all a bad nightmare. However, Era had brought the cycle back to his house after having dropped the kid off, making sure to tie up the loose ends before he went off on his own and encountered Noburus. Speeding off, Dalton's mind could only focus on finding a spot away from where he was now.

The nearby park explosion shook Hiraku from his thought a bit. Having slightly found his answer in his head and knowing that the explosion was likely trouble having found him and wanting to punish him for resting, Hiraku got off the bench and began looking around. Noticing people freaking out as usual, he joined in the panic and rushed to a spot with no one around. Slotting in his card, Hiraku henshined into Kamen Rider Era once more. Watching from afar, Era saw who he could recognize as Fang and Dragoon's users about to fight off two Fangire. Instead of rushing in, Era stood back a bit out of sight and watched how the two would handle the situation.*

'Heh... hyper as usual I see," Ryan said as he put the Lost Driver on and took out his Memory, "Henshin"

"Fang"

Ryan deployed both of his Arm Fangs and raced at other Fangire. As Ryan got closer, he leaped up and corksrewed himself above the Fangire until he was facing the back of hit. He then came down, with his already charged Fangs.

The double slash sent the Fangire flying face first into the ground. However it got up and took out a gun, aiming at Fang.

"Oh this is going to fun." Ryan said, knowing this was going to be tough.

The Fangire then fired. Ryan ducked/dodged, while launching one of his fangs at the Fagire, who then proceeded to dodge it with its speed.

"Tck, seriously... fun."

((I think one more post from both of us should do it before Era shows up. What do ya think? xd )0

((Evenly matched dude. xd ))

Ryan heard another blast from behind him... he launched/threw himself sideways/to the side and launched his other Fang which barely missed its target. Ryan then rolled himself out of the dodge and recalled the Fang.

"Man, this guy is fast. Fang isn't really meant for speed, mostly close range. But there's gotta be a way..." he trailed of as he scanned the area. He then noticed and broken, yet still attached branch. That might work, he thought.

Ryan jogged into a small clearing, figuring that the Fangire would fire from a distance. He stopped, his back to the limb. He heard another shot, but this time he let himself get hit. As landed on the ground he threw his Fang again at the limb which proceeded to "fall" on the Fangire. Ryan got up, deployed another Arm Fang and charged at him hoping for Fangire to be at least distracted enough for him to get a clean slash.

A moment later, his Fang made contact with the Fangire. After hearing a huge explosion, Ryan turned around, but to his shock the Fangire wasn't there.

Suddenly, blasts seemingly coming from every direction hit Ryan. He blocked a few, but there were to many to fast for him to deflect. He fell to his knee.

Damn, that b*****d is pretty good, Ryan thought... which then became more serious...Though something is wrong. That attack should have worked. I knew I connected, but he still got me. Someone is playing nice.

Kio was suddenly knocked off the fangire. He tried to get up but then cringed in pain, an injury on his side acting up. He groaned and staggered to his feet only to be hit several times by the lion fangire. Suddenly, a duplicate fang appeared and helped him before transforming into a strange new weapon wich flew into his hands. "What the? Who?"

Kio shruged and started swinging the sword. The Lion fangire was on the defensive now. Kio grunted as he slashed as hard and fast as he could. All the while the previous day's injuries still bothered him.

Kio was doing massive dammage to the fangire. it tried to get away but didnt get far enough before Kio slamed the sword down hard onto it. The ground cracked and the monster staggered to its feet. Of course, Kio was panting by now. "Well...*pants* looks like...you are not as tough as before eh kitty?"

Kivala was flying overhead, monitoring things just in case. She knew they might need more back-up so she flew off, heading towards the studio.

Ryan fired one more blast from the cannon, causing the fangire, who had just struggled back to feet to collapse again, he wasn't going anywhere.

Tossing the Dragoon Cannon to the side, Ryan removed the Fang Memory and inserted into the Max. Drive slot.

-Fang... Maximum Drive-

Still several feet away from the Fangire, KR Fang performed a roundhouse kick (similar to KR Kabuto's) that sent the fang that had appeared on his leg flying. The fang found its mark, creating another explosion before it )the Fangire shattered.

Ryan, realizing that he had used the full power of the Fang Memory, turned to see if Kio needed help. But he doubted it.

*The discarded cannon and sword final form rides disappeared as they began converting back into a more humanoid form. Era, done watching the two of them take out the fangire, uncrossed his arms and removed himself from where he had distanced himself. He began to walk off from the others, feeling that was the extent of help they would need for now.

Dalton, seeing his heroes had won, tried to drive off and get something to drink as his bodies defense to the poison still was making him burn up his nutrients faster than he should. Driving towards a nearby place to get a soda or water or whatever he could get, Dalton began passing out and slowing down until he crashed into an alleyway at slow speeds and drifted off for a moment.

Eiji, unsatisfied with the bat's answer, allowed it to hit him in the head but was rather unphased by the tiny creatures attempt to thwack him in the head. The moment Kivala hit his head, a strange jolt would be felt by her, something that would be unsettling but quickly passed over in her mind. Moving his hat back down, he moved onward into the city and decided to find Hiraku since this was a waste of time.*

Kio rubbed the back of his head and de-henshined. "Oh sure...everyone is a critic."

He then noticed Era coming over and blinked. "Oh...so you are Era. Hey thanks for the assist back there. I realy needed it."


Kivala meanwhile was telling Tsukasa about the monster attack.
