Welcome to Gaia! ::

Ryan smiled under his helm after he realized not only had he been cross rided, but also with his mentor. He almost could felt Shoutaro's presence as he started to engage the worm again.

He summoned his Arm Fang was prepared to deliver the final blow when a blow to his leg caused him to trip and stood in front of the Fang as the worm molted. Ryan cursed himself at this, but didn't show it. As the worm clocked up the creature, who reminded Fang of a Unknown/Lord, divided underground.

Fang slowly circled the area, keeping alert for anything. Just then, he felt himself get hit by multiple blows. He clutched his chest a little as the Worm appeared. As Fang was about to launch his fang, a hand grabbed his ankle and started to drag him across the ground. Slowly sinking deeper, Fang duck his fang into the ground. Despite having his leg violently tugged several more times, Fang finally "won" the tug-of-war and pulled himself out the ground. Finding himself in a slightly forested area away from where he had been moments before Fang-Joker looked around until finally spotting the Worm again. Quickly looking up, Ryan noticed a branch directly under him that was ready to fall. Remembering the fight with the Goat Fangire, he quickly formulated a plan.

Fang-Joker stood there and taunted the worm to attack him. As expected of his race, the worm wasn't the smartest and clocked up to attack him. Fang-Joker used his added fighting ability from the Joker memory to evade while throwing a Fang-rang at the roots and vines that were holding the giant branch up. Gravity soon took over and the branch came down, knocking the worm a short distance from Fang-Joker and stunning him.

A tortoise like Unknown/lord jumped out of the ground and leaped at Fang-Joker. However, Ryan countered with slash to its exposed chest. As it struggled to get up, F-J started to fight it hand-to-hand. Ulitmately giving the upper-hand, Ryan sent the Unknown/lord packpeddling to the ground.
"Time to take out the trash." Ryan said, quoting one of his mentor's old lines. Removing the Joker memory for the max drive instead of his own to further to go with the theme.

-Joker Maximum Drive-
Fang-Joker leapt into the air as he split, much like how Double did for Joker Extreme Max drive before coming down on the Unknown/lord "biting" him as purple version of the T1 Fang Memory's head came down on them as the attack hit.

The Unknown flew through the air and hit the worm, before exploding. The worm itself attempted to clock up again, but exploded before it could.

"Thanks for the help." Ryan said as he cancelled the transformation, directing the statement at both Era and at the idea of mentor helping him in battle.

"Yeah, ho..." feeling that familiar presence, Ryan snapped his head behind him. Concepts of reality were abandoned as space was distorted and began to spiral. From the darkness a figure emerged, one that Ryan immediately recognized as Zenno's true form.

"Zenno" he said, his Fang Memory still out and ready.

"Good morning, Rio." Kira's grandmother said in a German accent. "I hope you like bacon and eggs." She said as she plated some scrambled eggs with some bacon scrambled in them. Then, Kira came out and sat next to Rio. "Good morning." She said happily as her grandmother plated some of her egg concoction.

Rio smiled timidly and nodded. "Yes..thank you."

He slowly began to eat as Kira entered the room. He blushed slightly and looked towards her. "Good morning. I hope you slept well."

((well THAT deserves a blush attack.))

Rio's face turned beat red as kira's grandmother called him her boyfriend. He nearly choked on some eggs, taking a large gulp of water to clear his throat. He didnt know what to say to that comment. It was a complete surprise and first for him.

If you don't know the reason this memory didn't work properly... then your not who I'm looking for either. Kind of a disappointment, but then this is a shoddy attempt at a stronger memory device. *Throwing the memory in the opposite direction behind him, Era raised his rifle up and shot at the memory behind him without a glance. Knowing that Zenno would either do something to get in the way and get the memory back or risk loosing what was messing with Fang, he was ready to turn and fire once more at the monster whichever way it would try to go.*

"Okay. Just be careful." Kira said in a loving tone and a smile. Then, she looked at her grandmother in a way that said, "Look at what you did with your commit."

Rio shook his head and smiled a little. "No no its okay. It uh..wasnt her comment at all, realy."

He had lied but figured it was a good idea to keep the peace between them. Besides...in truth he did have a crush on Kira. But being what he was he wasnt sure if she had the same feelings for him. Well that was until the way she started talking to him. Rio was good at reading people and right now he got the feeling that he was cared for. "Ummm..want me to help with the dishes ma'am?"

Meanwhile Kivat grinned from his hiding spot. "Hehe...just like Wataru in soo many ways."
