Welcome to Gaia! ::

(( Here you go Jes :XP: ))

*Escaping his house and the military guard posted there, Dalton had ventured out into the city on his own. Having to ditch his motorcycle as it would have drawn his unwanted guards to knowing he had escaped, Dalton went on foot across town. He still felt the sting of some of his injuries he sustained earlier that day, but having slept it off for most the morning and afternoon he was feeling a bit better.

Taking in the "fresh" air, Dalton enjoyed being away from the military types for a little while. Grinning to himself, he recalled the earlier fight and how he too was able to fight. He didn't fair as well as he had wanted and let the monster get away, but he had fought back and ensured he didn't become a problem. Enjoying the noise of the city as he walked, his peace was ruined as a scream was let out followed by the loud crash of multiple cars. Rushing to the scene and fighting a stream of fleeing civilians, Dalton saw a monster attacking people at random.

Knowing the rampaging monster had to be stopped, Dalton took out his driver and let it clip around his waist. Taking out a large gear, Dalton did a pose.* Henshin! *Sliding out the rock slab inside of the driver, Dalton once again put it onto the slab and allowed it to "absorb" the gear. Pushing the tablet back into the belt, the transformation sequence picked up again and Dalton once again became Ardence.

Rushing at the monster, Ardence went to punch and kick at the creature. Spinning to see it's attacker, the Dragon Orphenoch allowed the punches and kicks to land on it. Un-phased and slightly annoyed, the monster gave a strong backhand motion and sent Ardence flipping backwards while sparking. Getting back up, Ardence rushed in again, avoiding a swing or two from the monster as he attempted to punch and kick with all his might. The orphenoch absorbed his attacks before grabbing Ardence by the arm and whipping him hard into one of the halted cars that was fled from.

Keeping hold of his arm, the orphenoch flung Ardence sideways into another vehicle, smashing this one up as bad as it had done to the last. Tossing Ardence in the air, it proceeded to punch at him to smash him away. Grabbing the arm however, Ardence took the blow but wasn't knocked away. Shaking it's arm enough to finally knock Ardence loose, the annoyed dragon monster walked towards Ardence who fell a few feet away. Swapping gears, Ardence sprang back to his feet and took out Double's Magnum weapon.* Let us see how you take being shot by fire!

*Opening fire at the monster, Dalton expected the shots to be fireballs. Instead, beams of yellow burst from the magnum weapon, flying around in the air like some kind of annoying firefly species. The dragon kept walking, uncaring about the bullets that clearly missed it. The shots arched around however, blasting into the back of the monster and causing it to stumble a bit forward and almost onto it's face. Catching it's balance, the monster glared up towards Ardence.*
Not what I wanted. Nice, but not at all what I wanted belt.

*Running forward now instead of walking, the monster charged in like a bull and smashed both arms upwards into Ardence. Flinging into the air, he smashed through an empty apartment window and came tumbling through the room. Laying on his back a moment, Dalton sighed.* Alright... I'm getting my a** kicked again. I don't really want to call for backup though. He is probably is sick of saving me.

*Getting up and jumping out of the window, Dalton screamed crazy like as he opened fire with the gun before coming down to try and kick the monster as his landing. Smashing Ardence out of the air and onto a nearby parked truck however, his attack fell short. The curving lunar bullets whooshed around and smashed into the orphenoch, serving to stumble it again and irritate it further.

Walking towards Ardence who laid on the truck for a moment, he smashed his large arms downwards into the truck and ripped it apart. Avoiding the attack narrowly, Ardence rolled from the truck and onto his feet, stumbling on the sidewalk a bit and looking to his weapon.* I'm going to need something better than this. That thing is way too tough. *Hoping Era would just show up like he sometimes did, Dalton's pride kept him from actually phoning for help.*

*Ducking and rolling to avoid a clothesline by the rampaging orphenoch, Aredence avoided getting hit by another hurtful blow. Firing the weapon a few times, the shots darted around trying to get the dragon. Not having any of it again, the monster watched the shots in the air then smacked them away like insects when they got close. As he was distracted, Ardence took the chance to try and think up another weapon to use against the monster. Distracted himself however, he noticed a person who had yet to flee the scene.*

Hey! Get out of here now! *Ardence shot a few more times, trying to distract the monster further. He then somewhat noticed the person from before.* Oh, your a rider too right?? You're more than welcome to help if you want. I'm a little out matc- *Too distracted by talking, Ardence let what little of a guard he had down and was charged head on by the orphenoch who once again flipped him through the air and into the side of a building.

Landing on the ground with a thud, Ardence took a moment to get back on his feet. The gears in his belt rotated quickly, shifting his weapon to be the rod weapon of doubles.* Make up your mind, or whatever you have, belt! *Rushing in, he tried to attack with the metal rod weapon but the orphenoch easily was blocking his attacks.*

*Aware of the incoming attack, the orphenoch allowed himself to be hit by the rod weapon and instead focused on knocking the claws away. Knowing the bigger threat, the monster smashed a car up in the air towards Fury before turning and lifting Ardence up by the neck. Dropping his weapon, Ardence squirmed around trying to kick or punch at the stronger monster. The monster tossed the rider at the new arrival, uncaring their relation and only seeing the rider he was throwing as one small animal being used as a weapon against a slightly larger one.*

((Your call since it is your idea :XP: ))

*Blocking the attack with both it's arms, the Orphenoch quickly moved in to attack with both arms and hit the open chest of Fury. As it was distracted, Ardence took the gear out and placed it back in, tapping the belt after he did so.* I'd rather have what I originally used, belt. *The rod weapon vanishing, then the magnum appearing in Ardences hand again, he aimed it and fired a few shots to arch around and hit behind the Orphenoch, causing him to be open to the next attack the other rider would employ.*

*Taking the slash and sparking a bit, the dragon moved in to slash again himself while rushing through the attack. When in close, a humanoid face lightly appeared on the monster out of the range of Ardence's view or hearing range.* You have bloodlust, I can feel it off you. Kill that human boy quickly, enjoy the death of others while you can.

*Stumbling back a bit, the orphenoch feigned damage from the attack before suddenly shifting forms and vanishing in a blur like it had clocked up. Actually going back to their spot away from the havoc they caused, the form shifted again into a humanoid one. With a smirk, the man picked up a large suitcase-like box and held it over their shoulder before walking off and allowing the evil one to kill the weaker, stupid one.*

Another one got away?? Aghhh. My belt needs to get it's act together. Thanks for the help...uhh... what is your name? *Ardence turned to face Fury, not knowing who he really was to begin with. He was thankful for the help in driving the large monster back, however.*

*Not expecting him to turn and attack, Ardence was once again knocked through the air with sparks trailing his arch. Hitting into one of the nearby abandoned cars, he luckily landed in a way that allowed him to push himself to his feet quicker.* Why would you do that?! We're on the same side! *Observing the rider without being too distracted by the monster, he could tell something was weird about this one.

His memory of the rider he saw before wasn't fully clear, but he knew this one wasn't exactly the same yet it somehow was. As he tried to think this out, he felt a gear appear in his hands. Quickly slotting it in, Ardence braced himself for what the attacking rider would do next, or his own belt for that matter.*

All Fury did in response was laugh sadistically. Fury then pointed one of his Fury Claws at the car and fired all of its segments, hoping to catch Ardence in the explosion.

Fury hadn't expected that Ardence would use one of Fang's attacks. The fangrang hit him several times, seemingly distracting him for another attack.
