Welcome to Gaia! ::

Rio blushed and rubbed the back of his head. He sat the violin back in its case and looked at Kira. "Its a song created by family. Its called Otoya's Lamnant. I am realy glad you like..this is the first time i played for someone other than kivat."


Kio blinked and looked at the hat. "Is he...gone? And what's up with you?" He turned to face Hiraku.


(Ahem..jes would you like to play that monster we discussed or should i save it for later?)

Kira smiled at Rio and kissed him on the cheek.

Kira started to blush when Rio kissed her on the cheek and smiled at him shyly but with affection.

Hmm? *Hiraku snapped out of staring off a bit when Kio attempted to talk to him. His question finally hit him, breaking him fully from his trance-like state* I was just trying to think of something... *Noticing Ryan heading off, he figured it would be the best time to get moving himself.* If you need me let me know. *Hiraku motioned his teal candroid as he got onto his bike then sped off. While Ryan was likely not as aware, Kio should have noticed that the normally green candroid shouldn't have been teal, but by then Hiraku was long gone.*

Rio blushed again and looked away. "I..i dont know why i did that. I am sorry."


Kio had gotten on his bike and drove far. He didnt quite know were kira lived but he figured he would at least recognize Rio's bike when he saw it. He sighed and kept on driving and soon spotted the bike. He parked and got off, going to the door and ringing the bell.

*An armored vehicle made it's way down a slightly busy street. Seeming a simple transfer that happened every few months, the military vehicle and it's escorts turned the corner and continued on their predetermined path. Everything seemed to be fairing normally, until a mass of the silver Pawns appeared and begun to attack the cars and other vehicles guarding the armored one. After stopping the armored vehicle in it's tracks, a larger monster that was black in appearance appeared and made it's way towards it.

Raising it's arm up then quickly pulling them down, swords appeared in the air that skewered the vehicle. Circulating and ripping it apart, the vehicle collapsed on multiple sides. Scattering from the vehicle a lone figure dashed away from the attackers, ducking through the distracted Pawns and running as fast as they could. The monster, giving chase, motioned and had the silver Pawns stop assaulting the police and military in order to turn their attention towards the fleeing person in military garb.

Other military officers who could still stand ran after the Pawns, opening fire now that they weren't caught by surprise. Shooting down a few of them, it wasn't enough to really dent their numbers in any way. The pursuers continued to chase the target, intending to take what they were hiding with them. Fumbling to get something out, the fleeing figure took out a device then quickly spoke into it, requesting backup and saying they were being attacked. Coming to a dead end in an alleyway, the figure panicked, turning to see themselves fully cornered by the attacking force of monsters.*

I won't let you get it... *Dalton, the figure that had been chased, kept something hidden within the military uniform. Taking out the handgun he received several days ago, he fired it at the larger monster. Knocking Dalton back into the wall that was keeping him from escape, the shot howled out and went towards the monster. Having the Pawns form a wall in front of him, the blast was absorbed by the fodder and destroyed most of them that were with him at the moment. Those that remained began to replicate themselves, preparing to refill the numbers and arm themselves against Dalton. The monster moved past the dissolving Pawns certain to attack Dalton, when suddenly a motorcycle came soaring over the wall.

Jumping from his bike, Era came down with a strong jump kick and knocked the black, mostly featureless monster away from Dalton. As Era's bike vanished into another dimension to keep from risk, the creature's eyes lit up a bit as it's form changed and it began looking more armored. It then raised it's hand up, forming multiple spears before launching them at Era. Slashing them out of the air, Era rushed in and began to attack the monster. Pressing his assault so it would have to retreat backwards and let Dalton get out of the alleyway, Era continued to cut at the monster, only to be met with other swords that appeared and kept him from slashing the monster.

Finally giving it a strong side kick and landing it next to a parked car, Era took out a card and moved it to reveal two before tossing them in the air and letting his driver read the cards. "KAMEN RIDE - OLYMPUS ; KAMEN RIDE - KIVOID" the belt rang out as a white, pegasus-based ryuki/dragonknight-type rider appeared, readying it's sword. The second rider appearing a moment later was a blue, mutated offshoot of the Kiva line. The two riders rushed into the fray of Pawns, Olympus using a combination of strong kicks and his sword to cut down fodder while Kivoid simply used melee to beat the horde back.

Rushing in to keep trying to fight the monster Era slashed, but his sword met a shield formed by the black monster. Cutting through it and slashing again at the monster, his sword was met by Pawn that was used as a shield. The monster's eyes lit up suddenly.* Activation. Bishop Routine. *The creature shifted more, becoming more distinctive in it's appearance just in time for Era's sword to finally hit with it. The greater density armor absorbed the blow, allowing the creature to grab the sword and toss it away before forming a barrage of arrows which quickly rained down towards Era.

Rolling out of the way, Era rose his gun in shotgun mode to try and shoot the monster, but by the time he had raised it up, the creature had a shotgun-like weapon formed in front of him which opened fire. Being blasted back, Era's armor sparked a bit.* Can never be easy... *Getting up to attack, Era was surrounded by another batch of Pawns that the "Bishop" had deployed. Turning it's sights back towards Dalton as Era and his summoned riders fought the distraction help, the monster approached the boy.

Unsure of what he could do and certain his gun was useless against this type of enemy, he reached into his military vest and pulled out a strange looking device.* This is what you want, right?! Just take it and go away then! *Dalton tried to, shakingly, hand over the strange looking device.* Stop! *A voice cried out, belonging to one of the military that had given chase. Managing to have not been knocked out or worse by the attacking forces, they had caught up and were trying to get Dalton to not give up.* You know they can't get their hands on it!

*Dalton halted for a moment, recalling the other day when he found out his parents had been part of a project to unlock a strange device acquired some years ago. Despite years of working on it and modifying it to try to work, no one could get it to. It was theorized that the device would be quite powerful and the military believed it, wrongly, to be the cause for so many monsters to appear lately. As he thought on this, the military officer was hit from behind by a Pawn who then rushed into fighting one of the kamen riders.

Glaring for a moment, the Bishop creature moved it's hand forming a small club to smash Dalton's hand and knock it's target out of it. The device fell to the group as he pulled his hand back and held it in pain. Quickly moving to take out the gun again, the monster smashed a materialized rock into that hand, causing him to drop the weapon as well. Dalton rushed down to get the device, thinking it to be more important than some gun, but the black creature reached out and picked up the gun instead. This action allowed Dalton to grab the device. It's mission carried out, it was prepared to leave when the device suddenly glew brightly, lighting up the dead end Dalton was trapped in.

Meanwhile, the fight against the growing wave of Pawns went well. Olympus continued to slash through most the fodder, but with the growing numbers it had to keep up. Taking out a card, it slotted it into the sword it was using. "WING VENT" the sword chimed as large wings appeared on the rider allowing it to take off into the air, slashing through the enemies as it circled around. A few of the Pawns, getting a bright idea, began having other Pawns shift into jetpacks. The jetpack add-ons allowed the other Pawns quick bursts upwards to swat at the annoying and flying kamen rider.

Slashing and blocking a few attacks, Olympus flew up in the air before slotting another card into it's sword. "UPIT VENT" it said as Olympus' armor changed and became yellow and slightly jagged looking. Charging with electric energy, Olympus swooped in again, slashing into the wave of enemies and cutting down multiple Pawns in one movement. The mass of Pawns however continued to attack, trying to shoot him out of the sky and causing Olympus to have to dodge and dart around more as it attacked in the air.

Kivoid continued to fight, punching and kicking his way through the enemies around him. Feeling the pressure of too many opponents himself, he took out a fuestle and summoned a weapon. Reaching out and grabbing it, his color shifted except for one arm, turning from a blue rider into a mostly yellow one. Gripping the odd lamp-looking weapon like a sword, Kivoid rushed towards the Pawns. The lamp began to sprout out pure fire which shaped into a bladed form that was then used to slash through the multiple Pawns, melting them down rather quickly. In his Kindle form, Kivoid was cutting through the Pawns and any weapons they tried to deploy rather effectively.

Attacking with a large axe, one Pawn almost got the jump on Kivoid until the fire from the sword suddenly flared up and become a large hand which reached behind Kivoid. Grabbing the Pawn and tossing it at the crowd, the flung Pawn caught on fire and exploded like a napalm grenade. The explosion set multiple other Pawns on fire and caused them to run around in a panic until they melted. Returning to a sword form, the unnatural fire spewing from the lamp continued to be used to chop down the other Pawns.

The light from the alleyway dimmed down, Dalton standing with the device in his hand. Stunned not only by how the device suddenly lit up, despite him seeing his mother and several others working on it to no avail, but by the fact that the monster went for the gun instead of it. He had been sure they were after the device as much as the military had been that it didn't add up to him. The monster, realizing the value in the other trinket, decided to get it before going back. Raising it's hand to form multiple swords, it's attack was knocked away when Era rushed in and shot them in time. Going to put his hands up in a natural reaction to the fear of the swords, Dalton felt something odd in his other hand. Unclenching the hand, he noticed a gear-like device. Questioning the nature of how it got into his hand, the wondering was put to rest early when the Bishop creature prepared for another attack.

Instinctively, Dalton put the device around his waist, it activating and wrapping around to form a belt. Sliding out a rune-like inscribed tablet made of what seemed like stone, he placed the gear onto it. Unsure of why he did this, he noticed the device respond and absorb the Gear, spiraling into the slab of rock and having two other gears appear beside it. Shoving the tablet back into the center of the belt, Dalton braced himself for whatever he was doing unconsciously. A magical energy source seemed to erupt forward, instantly shorting out from some sort of interference. Warping the magic and somewhat pulling it inwards when it was trying to flee, the energy twisted within itself. The folding and warping of the energy suddenly had multiple sprinkles of light absorb into it, before pulling it fully around Dalton and taking shape into an armored form. The armor formed around him, looking similar to a mix of Ixa, Delta and G3. It's main coloring being blue with silver, gold and black worked in with it's pattern.

Being too new, Dalton, or rather the new Kamen Rider Ardence, rushed in and tried to punch the monster out right. Waving it's hand, the monster summoned an array of axes and swords before smashing them into a totally unguarded Dalton, causing him to spark and fall back a bit. Era, stunned that Dalton had just become a rider, tried his best to accept that the kid was drawn further into the fighting and knew Dalton had to get adjusted to it like he had to at first. Slashing a few Pawns with his sword before shooting a few, he made his way over and charged the monster head on again.* Dalton..er..whatever you want to be called. They gave you the gift of idiots to fight, warm up on them and I'll take the big one.

*Nodding, Ardence slipped past the monster and out of the alleyway, into the crowded battle taking place on the street. Rushing in, he ran and did a dropkick on one of the Pawns that had yet to notice him running out screaming like an insane idiot. Knocking the Pawn over on it's face, Ardence got back up and began punching and kicking like a mad man. Attracting the attention of a group of Pawns that were busy trying to cheer on the other Pawns getting melted and shocked to death by Kindle Kivoid and Upit Olympus, Ardence watched the Pawns turn to attack. Blocking a few of them, it was only a few moments before Ardence began being cut up by the swords and forced to stumble back.*

I need some kind of weapon... *Thinking to the battle he saw earlier, he recalled a bat-like rider who had a large hammer that managed to clear out the Pawns rather well before. As he thought of this, a medium and small gear appeared in his hand. Taking the rock slab out and replacing the two gears that had appeared when he transformed, Dalton was prepared for whatever this new power gave him. Suddenly, Catastrophe Hammer from Kiva V's arsenal of weapons appeared in his hand.* Awesome! With this I can kick some as-- *As he went to use the weapon, it suddenly weighed him down and caused him to be open enough to be slashed and shot by the Pawns. Stumbling back a bit, he let go of the hammer.*

D-damn... this is harder to do than I thought.... *Recalling others that had fought, he thought to the dual rider who had kept shifting forms. A small gear appearing in his hand, he replaced the one he had put in earlier quickly. The hammer weapon vanished and Double's Metal Rod appeared in his hands. Going from Kiva's large hammer to Double's rod weapon, Ardence was easier able to wield the weapon and rushed over-confident. Igniting on fire, the rod began to smash into the Pawns and knock them to the ground, destroying them. Getting the hang of fighting, Dalton began to actually find the bashing around of the fodder to be therapeutic.

Era was handling the fight against the Bishop monster well for not using any of his cards. Using a combination of his weapons, he managed to deflect the forming weapons and continue to press the attack on the monster. Suddenly, another formless entity appeared and kicked Era away from the Bishop one. This one was black too, it's eyes flashing* Activation. Knight Routine. *Becoming more distinctive and forming a sword and shield weapon combo, it charged to attack Era. Blocking the sword with his own, Era was pressed back a bit and forced away from the Bishop monster. Turning it's sights back towards Dalton and his device, the Bishop moved towards him and the Pawns he was fighting.

Having finished the last of the Pawns they had been fighting, the two summoned riders came in to assist Era. The first one, Olympus, slotted in a card into his sword. Swooping down from the sky, "SMITING VENT!" came from the rider's system as lightning suddenly roared from above in time for the diving Olympus to slash down, supercharging the sword in an attempt to cut the new black colored monster down. Raising it's shield, the attack seemed to be completely blocked, no harm done to the shield or it's user. Reacting quickly, the "Knight" monster slashed it's sword easily through the rider and caused it to vanish away, fizzling out in a bizarre fashion.

Abandoning the Kindle form and going back to it's blue colored normal form, Kivoid rushed in to attack with a fuestle in hand. Leaping high into the air, the moon was eclipsed by two larger moons for a moment, or at least perceived as such in the area the fight was in. It's belt and companion, Kivo the blue and four winged mutation of the Kiva line, fluttered quickly around and undid both of the sealed legs on Kivoid. The pair of legs opened up, unleashing four wings themselves as he drove downwards with a double rider kick into the monster. Once again simply raising it's shield, the attack was completely blocked by the Knight designated monster. Swinging to eliminate it like the other one, it almost hit when Kivoid repelled backwards and it's legs were re-sealed. Before it could land however, a wave of energy unleashed from the sword's swing and consumed the rider, fizzling it out oddly.

As the second summoned rider fell with little to no resistance and the appearance of a twin moon eclipse vanished from the area, Era knew he would have to take the same route he did with Lycid earlier. Taking out two cards, he activated a cross kamen ride and became a combination to fight. Becoming a cross of Decade and OOOs, Era prepared to rush in with a dual wielded Rider Booker in sword mode and Medajalibur. Slashing with both swords towards the Knight, it made a swift and decisive swing in response. The Knight's sword easily went through both of his swords and cut deep into the armor, causing Era to fling backwards and spark further. Landing on the ground, he rolled out of the form and laid there for a moment.*

Well now...that.... is a bit much.... *Slowing getting to his feet, he looked over to see Ardence being beaten around by the Bishop version. Trying his best to counter attack, Ardence had already lost the rod weapon and was being knocked around with various weapons he couldn't defend well enough against. Knowing with the Knight's ability to cut through his own abilities and the other monster overwhelming a rookie Dalton, he would have to push himself further. He hesitated, knowing a part of him wanted to indulge and fight to his fullest, no matter the risk. However, the fear of his belt going out of control was getting to him again. Not being able to find someone who could understand or fix it on top of the need to keep pushing the driver in combat was worrying him too much.

The Knight slashed at him again, expecting the next cards being slot in to be another kamen ride. Hesitating for a moment, Hiraku took a deep breathe and held it, knowing his actions would be very risky and he would need to move fast. Slotting both cards in as the sword approached him, Era's driver split in half. Shifting the split halves downwards and the card slots upwards, the belt moved around and the two halves moved to the side of Era. The Driver said in a warped manor "UNLEASHED ERA" as his outfit changed, becoming a different looking form, but retaining it's colors. In that instant, Eiji, Noburus, and anyone else who had any sense of space/time would feel a burning sense depending on how deep their connection to it would be. The form had multiple, warping ripples flowing off it for a moment until he vanished. The energy let off from the transformation repelling the sword attack.

The Knight spun, trying to block in time as it knew it would be attacked from behind. Partially correct, it's shield blocked a fist, but multiple fists emerged from multiple direction and smashed into the monster, knocking it around with the power of several riders at once. The arms vanished, and though they all had the same purpose, the arms resembled multiple different riders without a fully physical form. Punching towards the monster fully himself, Era seemingly appeared next to him, smashing the Knight in the jaw as it was still unsettled. In the same pose and action, Era was at the same place a little bit away, punching the Bishop in the stomach and preventing it from damaging Ardence further at the moment.

A nearby car suddenly exploded, flipping up in the air before being crumpled up and dropped back in place. A large sonic boom came out as Era kicked towards the monster, appearing above it suddenly and Era's kick visibly extending with half a dozen other kamen rider's legs somehow. Slotting in a card as he vanished again, he reappeared a few feet away and the belt began to respond as multiple silhouettes warped around Unleashed Era almost psychodelically. "UnLeaSHeed... AttAck RidEe..." the warped driver said in several directions around the Knight and more distorted than before. This caused the Knight monster to shift around, unprepared of how to counter such a thing.

Trying to defend itself in one last ditch effort, it slashed out. It's sword completely missed the multiple riders that had appeared around it, including Unleashed Era. The multiple riders formed a wall around the monster, driving in multiple charged rider punch attacks. Despite the sword's swing and it's energy, it somehow completely missed the riders and failed to stop one of them from hitting in with their punch. The mass converged then vanished as quickly as they came with Era, him not appearing again for a few moments halfway down the block. Ripping his driver off as it was attempting to reconnect the driver and initiate another form, Hiraku was visibly messed up from using the belt. Panicking, he left the driver next to him, refusing to touch it for now.

Letting out a breath while calming himself down a bit, he looking to see the other fight. Hiraku was very glad that his risk in using a higher form didn't lock him into something worse, but it was clear that his relaxed time had lessened his control on the unstable form. Seeing not just the destroyed car, but several other objects that had been crushed due to his Unleashed form being activated. Not wanting to risk his belt after such a move, he could do nothing more than stand there and watch Ardence fight, and maybe call for back up if Dalton couldn't handle being a rider.

Ardence was beaten back somewhat badly. Having no experience as a rider and not knowing how exactly his ability worked, he had little more then enough in him to avoid being maimed by the lethal weapons the Bishop monster continued to spew at him. Hiraku sat on the ground, catching his breath and feeling out of shape since that took so much out of him again.* Dalton! T-that is Ardence right now... I think... *Ardence flew back, smashed by a flying barrage of hammers, sparking and hitting a parked car. He didn't have time to fully think, but he was pretty sure that is what the device was code named.* Whatever. Listen, you need to focus on the battle. Your a military kid right?

*Rolling out of the way as a fury of spears came at him, Ardence allowed them to smash and impale the car multiple times instead of himself.* That doesn't mean I've had that much training... or any against monsters! *Blocking with both arms, he braced himself from another group of flying hammers that smashed him and sent him back. Not having seen Dalton's new abilities well in the fight, Hiraku looked around the battlefield. Seeing Double's Metal weapon laying on the ground and quickly putting things together, he smirked a bit.* Dal- Ardence! Listen, you need to think about the battles you've seen me in. Try to draw from what you've seen. You're able to use that rod weapon because you know about Double right?

*Having dodged fairly well up to that point, a group of floating guns opened fire as Ardence was going to answer, causing him to stumble back and go to one knee as his armor smoked.* Who is Double?? *Raising to his feet again, he struggled to stay up after being beaten around so much* The rider I thought of to use the weapon you mean? *Thinking to the fight, he tried to recall anything else he could use. As a group of swords came raining towards him again, Ardence panicked and brought his arms up to try and brace himself once more. As he did, he felt another medium and small gear set appear in his hand. Quickly replacing it without a second thought, he activated the belt and trusted his it as well as his instincts.

Shifting in appearance further than before, the belt reacted and made him appear to become the Yeti Imajin from earlier. Raising his rather large club in the air and blocking the swords, he smashed them down then raised it high in the air.* Nice! This huge weapon is lighter than before... but... wait ... Ahhh!!! I'm the monster?!? *Looking over himself, he realized the belt had not only gave him the weapon, but also shifted his form into being exactly like the Yeti Imajin's. Hiraku watched silently, interested in how the fight would play out and the belt's functions. Though it reminded him of the Kamen Ride function, he could tell it was different.

Adjusting to the situation, the Bishop monster summoned a group of firearm weapons again, shooting them towards Ardence in his Yeti monster form. Blocking the shots with the large club, he rushed forward before swinging the club down towards the monster. Multiple swords appeared, piercing the club and ripping it apart just like it had made short work of the armored car earlier. Feeling something in his hand again, Ardence quickly reached down, the belt forming around the waist of the Yeti and allowing him to swap out the gears again. Turning this time into a replica of Lycid, he rushed in and clocked up to avoid any spawned weapons that were being summoned in that instant.

Reappearing from accelerated time, Lycid-Ardence stopped his attack and reverted back to just being Ardence again. Taking a toll on him due to having been hurt so much prior to using it, it didn't stop Dalton from enjoying the experience.* That was awesome! I was wanting to do that since I saw it happen. *The monster took the attacks, sparking a bit itself. It wasn't overly injured however by the assault. Quickly the creature retaliated against the distracted Ardence by summoning another barrage of arrows to fly out, this time towards him. Bursting with damage from the arrow attack, Ardence flipped backwards and landed on the ground.

Taking another gear that appeared in his hand, Ardence slowly got up and was ready to keep trying when the Bishop monsters eyes lit up. Receiving orders, it abandoned it's attempt to steal the driver for now and began to leave the area with it's main objective. Watching the monster leave, Ardence attempted to stand up to give chase and slot the gear in. However, as he tried to move he felt himself begin to black out. Falling to the ground, the armor around him vanished away and left Dalton laying unconscious. Returning Dalton to his house before heading home himself, Hiraku was impressed that Dalton handled himself well enough.

Dalton had finally returned to his home in the city, out cold and in a deep slumber. Hiraku, curious as to how Dalton got a driver and why it functions the way it did, looked over to the growing collection of technology he was obtaining and keeping in the room he took up while here. Adding to the collection was the gun that Dalton mysteriously had, not knowing Eiji had been the one to make it. Despite it lacking the source that it ran on, Hiraku hoped it would help lead him towards an answer.

Noburus continued to work on projects, upping their production rate in order to push the game forward a bit more. Upset they helped push another kamen rider on the scene, it was a small loss in order to obtain a fragment of an energy source they had been after for years.*
Yes..... withh thhis...
even if my plan doesn't hhold....
thhis cconflicct worked in my favor...
HHowever....thhat rider..........
*Turning away for a moment, they motioned and another black entity without form came forward, standing next to the survived Bishop.*
I must go away for a moment....
thhere is thhings I must do with this ccrystal....
You two....Take ccare of thhat rider whhile I'm gone....
We ccannot allow it to survive thhis timeline......
*With that, Noburus vanished. Going off with their prized crystal fragment.

Eiji continued to loom around his hideout which had become Shocker's temporary headquarters. Knowing he allowed Noburus to get the part of the crystal he had on him was a mistake, but one he prepared for in advance. Figuring Noburus would have obtained it from the human, it served in driving Hiraku further away from the enemy. Further, the action certainly pushed events towards the goal Eiji was after. It was a regretful loss, but one he accepted for his own plan to come through.*

((Sure. Just so long as I can get someone's character to face Fury before Fang has a chance to tell them what he is. xd
Also... do a solo fight sometime. mad ))

Fang
Ryan, worn out from his fight against Fury against Fury, was to tired to open his Batta Candroid and tell them what he he had just faced. He braced himself against the outside wall of the warehouse and closed his eyes. Whiile unconscious, he dreamed of his girlfriend and asking her to marry him, before having a vision of a strange yellow Gaia Memory.

Rook/Lion Fangire
Rook looked around his surroundings before turning back to the two. "So," he said, "what game shall I play?"

"I like you too." Kira replied in the phase between the doorbell and Rio speaking again. "Hm, I rarely get visitors. Do you think it is one of the guys?" She asked as her grandmother answered the door. "Hello, can I help you?" She asked.
