Welcome to Gaia! ::

Rio gulped, unsure of how to answer. He didnt want them to know his name..just in case. He turned towards them a little and sighed. "You can just call me...Kamen Rider Kiva." With that, Rio continued to walk away, heading to his motorcycle.

Rio stoped as he place a hand on the handle of his motorcycle. He turned his head slightly to look at Ryan. "Uh...yeah?"

The next day....Kai decided to go out and eat,he decided to jog to the place so it would help with training.There were times when he regretted training really hard the other day,he felt the pain when he jogged.
"Ow...Ow..."he groaned
After a long jog..he decided to skip eating lunch in a retaurant and settle for street food....
((500th post))

Nagano Ryan/KR Fang
Ryan watched the mysterious rider ride off and disappear. He then turned to the others. "Let's head back ourselves." he said as walked to his bike.

--------------------
Foundation X Headquarters

The mysterious man, also known as DestrOy, walked in the director's office.

"You've failed in your mission." she said coldly, "you tasked with eliminating both Fang and Dragoon."

"It will not happen again."

"It wont. We are deploying Project Z." the director said flatly.

The man's stoic expression changed, before he caught himself saying, "Understood." His impassive, obedient aura restored, he turned around and walked out of the office. His face was contorted in anger.

As Rider X left, the director turned back to her monitor, which was displaying information, comparing the Fang Memory, the Ryu medal, the DecaDriver, and the DestrODriver.

"Everything is going to plan," she said as she looked over the data intently.
----------------------
Zenno's Lair

Zenno watched as Ryan and the others left the location of their last fight. He had been watching him this entire time, deciding that he'd soon implement his own plan for the young rider. He looked down at his open hand. As out of thin air, the memory that Ryan had been holding just seconds before appeared in it. He grinned as the memory reformatted itself into a Purple memory with an gagged F on its front. He pressed it...

"Fury"

Shadow Moon's Lair.

Dr. Shinigami was buisy scanning the cell medals he had collected. "Fascinating. These are a source of power all on their own. Very usefull."

"I should hope so doctor. that little test was meant so we could see the abilities of these medals."

"Of course Shadow moon. But are you sure it was okay to let them destroy that yummy?"

"Of course..it was of no more use to me. And we can make more easily. Soon i can reveal my ulitmate plan to the world...and unleash the terror you once brought back." Shadow moon's laughter echoed through out the hidden lab. Behind him was a very large shadow. The shadow of an old weapon.

The streets

Rio drove slowly through the city, trying to see if he recognized anything. But sadly he didnt. He had hoped he would come to the coffee shop were he liked to get a good meal, or see castle doran but no. He was sure he was not in his home anymore. He sighed and spotted a strange white bat flying overhead. It resembled his own kivat and decided to fallow its path.

The studio

Kio sat at the table and sipped some coffee, wondering how everyone was fareing. He had a feeling that there was a fight but since he was still injured he couldnt be much help to them. He sighed and leans back, idly rolling the ryu medal in his hand. "Damn i wonder were everyone is?"

*Shortly after leaving on his own, Hiraku's bike stopped without breaking or jerking him forward with the force of his momentum. As he stopped, time stopped around him putting multiple people and things making the city a bit more noisy to a pause. Noburus stepped out, again preferring to freeze time to talk to Hiraku than to make a public appearance.*
Hhave you reachhed a deccision yet?
*Hiraku sat for a moment in thought. It was true that he had just fought with the riders, but his experiences in the past were weighing on his mind. After a few seconds of thought, he looked Noburus in the eyes the best he could given the gas mask on Noburus.* I'll take my chances with them. It might backfire on me, but by then I'll be stronger and have figured out what's holding my driver back... I'm determined to leave here and I won't have any monsters like you messing that up.
Thhats too... bad.
I was hhoping you'd be more intelligent on thhis matter.
You are one of thhose though, afterall.
It proves thhat your type is foolishh.

*Before Hiraku could reply, time began again and the zebra-scorpion-squid monster launched out, tackling Hiraku off his bike and onto the ground. Wincing a bit in pain as he was slammed at full speed off his cycle, Hiraku recovered enough to put his driver on and transform into Era once more. Slashing the monster with his sword, Era managed to knock it off him and get to his feet before it rushed at him again. Unleashing a combination of slashes, Era pressed the attack and caused the monster to fall back a bit to give him some space.

Taking out a card, Era hesitated and was placed in a bad spot. In one case, he could risk his driver malfunctioning further by pressing attacks in his usual fashion. On the other hand, this monster seemed like the one that was hunting the teen he saved on several occasions now and might be able to eat data replicants to get stronger.

Not wanting to risk either things, Era decided to finish things quickly and trust his instincts that had allowed him to get this far. As he changed the card to be another one and rushed in, the monster duplicated itself which followed by both creatures taking out whip weapons. They used their whips in unison to grab the sword Era was using and his other hand before he could slot the card, binding his movements and allowing a third duplicate to break off and rush up to begin attacking Era close range. After hammering into Era a bit, the other two used their hold on Era to launch him into the air and remove the sword from him in the same motion.*

Crap... these things got better it seems.. *As Era attempted to recover in the air, the third monster jumped up to press their own attack, going to attack Era mid-air before he could begin to recover. As the monster got close in the air from jumping upwards towards him, he was met by the barrel of Era's gun and was fired on in close range with the gun's shotgun mode. The spray of shots were enough to cause the monster to spark from damage and come tumbling down into the other two. As it fell on-top of them, instead of knocking them all down, the third monster split in half on contact and merged into the first two again. The two immediately launched their whips at the mid-air Era as he began to fall.

Dalton, who had finally caught up to Hiraku, watched as the rider was beginning to get out numbered. Looking at the strange gun he woke up with, then to the fight, he weighed out what he should do in this situation. He knew he could rush in, but that it would risk his safety and that another person may die trying to save his stupidity. The other option was to find the other riders, but he had no idea where they might be located since they were splitting up and leaving. Unable to decide, Dalton could only look onwards as Era avoided one of the whips but got his leg caught by another, being pulled down with force beyond gravity's and into the ground.

The other zebra-scorpion-squid began to open it's mouth, shoving out garbled words which barely sounded English, leaping into the air as it's tail grew larger and full of more venomous stingers, a lot like how it looked in it's previous form. Doing a flip in the air, it came down with the full force of it's weight directed through it's tail, the other clone holding Era by the leg with it's whip so he couldn't escape. Dalton watched in horror as another rider was seemingly killed in-front of him, the tail smashing straight down onto Era who had been trying to get the whip off himself. The attack hit and broke into the ground with great strength, surely not only crushing whatever was under it but melting it with various acids being secreted by it's stingers.*

It is a good thing your still very slow mentally, despite gaining a bit more attack ability. *Era had already tossed up two Attack Ride cards which entered into his belt as he finished his sentence, giving away his location which wasn't under the tail of the monster. As he did this, data un-summoned itself under the tail of the monster as he shot close range with his shotgun using double Blast cards. This caused a great deal of shotgun data clones to appear in-front of the dumbfounded monster. The wall of shotguns opened fire, pulverizing the monster that had attacked the clone of himself, to the point that it exploded and weakened the remaining version of the monster.*
Whatever you did to evolve, it seems you grew a weakness with your other abilities. Pretty stupid of you or what made you to have overlooked such a thing.

*The monster hissed out, feeling a pull from it's creator to go back and be worked on, as Noburus watched the defect show itself during the fighting as well. The creature's pride hurt however and it's desire to hurt Era and Dalton too strong, it rushed towards Era and began to attack with more power and speed than before. Using both the whip weapon, it's tail with several stingers, as well as it's free arm to try and punch or slash with it's claws, the monster tried to overwhelm Era with it's variety and persistence of attacks. Trying to switch between the baseball bat mode and shotgun mode of his rifle, Era managed to avoid many of the attacks but was caught off guard after a few moments when the tail shifted it's attack pattern and instead of trying to hit him went for his gun.

The rifle now knocked out of his hand, Era jumped up and back a bit. When the monster followed, it lept up into Era diving down and loosing his momentum upwards in order to charge down into the pursuing enemy. Spiraling to avoid an attack by the monster and kicking it's tail away, Era landed on the ground, though stumbled a bit on landing. The kick had hit near one of the spikes and a bit of acid had begun to burn away at his foot armor, causing Era to wobble a bit on landing but he didn't allow it to affect him. Grabbing his sword weapon, he took two cards out of it and slotted them both in as the monster went down to attack him.

Several fang-like boomerangs came out, slashing into the monster before it could connect and repelling it back. Getting into a more feral-looking pose, Era was now a combination of Fang and Dragoon.* I have been wanting to test their abilities out and now's the perfect chance. *Taking out a cell medal, not from before but rather a proxy of one to activate Dragoon's abilities, Era used it to get get a burst to his speed while also using a pseudo-Fang Memory to grow multiple spikes. Rushing forward, Era slashed into the monster rapidly. The monster attempted to split apart and duplicate once again, but using the speed boost Era rushed to the side the monster was coming from and drove two arm fangs into it, launching them into boomerangs and driving the creature back into the original one as well as causing it to drill into the monsters side.

Loading more cell medals in, Era got down nearly on all fours in an animal like manor as his suit charged with the energy from the cell medals, directing them into the fangs coming off him. After infusing them with the energy, he stood up fully and caused the fangs to come bursting off the suit in a large hive, slashing into the scorpion-zebra-squid multiple times before exploding into the monster and causing them and it to perish. Before he could do anything else, Era was smashed from behind by a large tail which caused him to land onto the ground a bit away. Trying to stumble to his feet, Era was met by a large tail once again hitting him and smashing him into a tree. The mutated remains of Kamen Rider Lycid, now a worm-like monster itself, hissed out venom as it approached Era. His arms pinned, Era did his best to activate the fangs once more. Arm fangs being the best he could summon from his belt, Era slashed into the tail holding him into the tree. Though it didn't have multiple stingers like the original monster that spawned this one, it was much more dense due to it's exoskeleton.

Managing to pry himself away from the tree in time to avoid a spray of acid-spit which melted the tree, Era tossed both fangs at the monster which smacked it away. Knowing he would need to change tactics a bit, Era took out two cards, confidently forgetting the reason he never pushed his belt. As he went to slot the cards in, his belt began to activate a sequence when he heard something which shook Hiraku from his battle. "SU-" was uttered from the belt a moment before Era had ripped the driver off the belt and chucked it into the forest, running away from the fight and his own henshin device in complete terror of what it was about to do. The monster went to pursue when it hesitated, a bit of it's humanity still trying to fight the urge that was given to it's DNA by the original monster. Rushing off in confusion, the monster went to suppress it's lingering humanity.

Dalton watched the Era Driver fly into the forest and ran off to get it, not knowing why Era had just thrown away his belt. Noburus rushed to get it for themselves, but was blocked by a flash of light which appeared for a brief moment. A strange attack flew out and caused Noburus to loose track of the driver and where Dalton, Hiraku or what was left of Lycid went. Taking what they could out of the battle, Noburus went back to their hidden testing lab. Dalton meanwhile attempted to find where the belt's user had fled to. Not far away, Dalton luckily found Hiraku who had fallen over by a tree and balled up in fear. Approaching slowly, he attempted to confront them.*

Excuse me... but you... er... tossed this as far as you could and ran away like a little girl who saw the monster under it's bed.
*Annoyed at the kid's insults, Hiraku snapped out of his fear a bit and confronted him.*
If you knew what was about to happen you'd have done the same...
Threw away an awesome belt? Maybe I'll just hold onto it then. Seems I'd be a better hero.
*Before Dalton could try to put the driver on, Hiraku snatched it from him and kept it away. He hesitated about having the device in his hand again, but knew that it was safer with him than anyone else, human or otherwise.*

Not the type to share are you?
Thanks for getting me the belt back, but this isn't yours to use.
Then why toss it away?
This belt isn't working right and there are certain functions to it that... are best left to not being activated again.
Is that what you were so afraid of?
This is a very powerful device, it also is very dangerous. In it's state right now I can't really push it or something worse than the current situation may occur. I'm the only one who knows this thing well enough to keep it from happening, but it also means I can't push it either... I risked that too much today...
Well, I'd suggest next time not throwing it and running away then. If you do, I'll take it for myself.

*Without answering, Hiraku snapped his fingers and his bike appeared in-front of him, towing Dalton's motorcycle behind it somehow.* I need to get home, you should too.* Hiraku got on his cycle and drove off towards home again. Dalton reflected on the weight of what had been told to him as he got onto his motorcycle. Driving off towards his own house, Dalton felt more confident that he would have to do what he could to not only help this rider, but the other people fighting to help save his world from the multiple threats.

Later that night, Hiraku was sitting on his bed unable to sleep. He held the the strange medal he obtained before as well as a grasshopper medal he obtained after the yummy incident earlier that day and the candroid he was given. Closing his eyes, he focused.* If he can do it... *Moments later, Hiraku had two candroids in his palm and the coin Eiji had made. Grinning a bit at his success, he watched as the green paint sizzled a bit and changed to teal, both cans opening up and becoming their grasshopper shape. The orange eyes lit up for a moment before turning into purple and becoming altered models. Hopping out of his hand, the candroids went to another part of the room and turned back into can form.

Noburus lurked around their hidden lair, it looking darker than before with less of the outside and more of a hazy fog to it. Looking at several holographic-like charts and graphs, Noburus looked over the data they had collected from the attacks, the riders and the others in the game.*
Withh thhis... my first hhand is finally ready to be played.
*Turning into their true monstrous form, Noburus released a massive cloud of blackened energy which began to interact and produce various things such as chemicals and proteins needed to generate their will. It was a large undertaking, which released a large amount of energy, but it was done in such a way that nothing would be able to sense any bit of it. No one the wiser, Noburus finished their efforts and looked forth at a large array of cloned entities.*
Now... to give my piecces thheir proper hhomes...

Kio looked to them and stood. "So is anyone going to tell me what happened? you all look horrible...like you got into a fight with 5 shadowmoons."
