[Semi-Open] A fresh set of scales.

[how_vexing]

Hands deep in his coat pockets. Brows furrowed.

"How...vexing" He'd murmur. "Are you certian about this?" They had been walking for hours. Monsters have been in and out of sight. Venosnaker becoming restless as well as his other two contact beasts.

Comments

[clockupgatack]

Still a bit stunned. "Who are you? How did you do that without Clock Up?!"

Scowling a bit through his surprise.

[destclaw]

He knew he wouldn't be a match. If Ryuki couldn't handle him...

He decided to slink away. If they wanted to press the issue, good on them. For now he felt that he made more of enough point.

[clumsynurse]

"Here..." picking up a slowly rolling vial, leaning to snatch it and uncork.

Slow sips had her form glow, her wounds lessen, allowing her to sit up fully.

"Are you okay..? Who is that?"

[how_vexing]

"I am now" an arm pulling her to stand, unseen eyes looking over her bloodied attire. He would kill Tiger for that.

"Unsure...be quiet"

[genmnokami]

“Kamen Rider, Genm…”

“The rider of the dark goddess Kurome~ And god of this world~ I will make them a piece of the future puzzle that accumulates this world.”

Looking with a head tilt. “Geheheh..Zect isn’t the only rider system with high scaling anti area manipulation. Or enhanced speed. You ALL will know days that test your mettle…this world…has opened..like a pit of destiny. Tremble and beware your futures…GYEEEEHEHEHEHE!!”

[kicksoffdragreder]

"Genm and..Kurome" Repearing with a shake of his head. It all sounded insane, however...it was painfully real.

[clockupgatack]

"Another Dark Goddess..." He mused aloud. He had to warn Tendou at least. The serious threat of another with this kind of speed was dangerous.

[clumsynurse]

Whispering to Takeshi "He's on our side..? But why?" Hugging his arm a bit. "Shi-shi, a dark goddess?" This wasn't good. She had to tell the others in Planeptune right away.

[how_vexing]

"It seems that way" replying lazily to both of her questions. As to why...well, nothing was free around here.

"Yo. What's the deal, then? What makes us so special?"

[genmnokami]

He looks over his shoulder..

“Because you care only about one thing. Not nations. Not ‘shares’. Strength, power, competition in battle..”

“Qualities for the perfect game.”

“And you. Always wanting to protect. Geheheh…but you can’t protect everyone. Only what you fear losing.” Pointing at Ouja..then pointing at Compa slowly, back and forth..

“You both can’t survive without another..without purpose…you lose sight of living.”

“Now! To me! Your advent begins!!”

He transports them all a ways away some in a crackle of data, out of sight. For now.

[clumsynurse]

Compa gripping Takeshi's arm a bit tighter, biting her lower lip before they're taken away.

Nerves or perhaps worry fluttering some in her stomach.

[how_vexing]

"Hmph..."
Compa unfortunately 𝙬𝙖𝙨 a weakness for him. Much more than he'd like to admit, however his thirst for the next bloodbath drove him to always have the upper hand.

What was unsettling was how much this man knew already. No matter.

Once they were whisked away, he glanced around. "You know the others will scurry away to their friends...not that it matters much"

[genmnokami]

👾Gashuun.. 👾

Removing the gashat, he turns to gaze at them both.

“It doesn’t. A message had to be sent. Geheh…let them run and tell.”

The moment he’s reverted, he immediately starts tweaking. A small violet buzz travels through him and his body shakes!!!

“GGGEEEHMMFF!! Hah….this body still is …acclimating….MM! No matter. You both. My data on you is inconclusive.” Hands on his hips. “We can’t very well send more riders in a tizzy if you haven’t reached your full potential.”

[clumsynurse]

"U-umm...excise me. Are you okay?" Compa stepping forward only slight with a hand on her chest.

She had seen something like that before, but perhaps it wasn't identical. Honestly Compa wanted to ask if he was REAL. But that would be REALLY rude.

[how_vexing]

His transformation breaks, he keeps his deck in his coat pocket for the moment, eyes narrowing.

A hand firm on Compa's shoulder, keeping her from inching forward. "Full potential? What do you know..." a loaded question, perhaps?

"I've done things no one has before. Killed other riders" a head tilt with a rather lax expression. "I'm not above much, so what do you have to offer...and what does it cost?"

[genmnokami]

“Mm!”

Hand raised, he nods.

“It’s nothing. Now. As for your questions….ill explain.” Arms folding.

“This world contains small pockets of unstable data. Derived from dimensional separation caused by fracturing. This is most likely due to Riders converging into this world. There are unique pockets of information that are fluxes taking affect. These pockets hold essential data…that may contribute in the evolution of strength.

I /NEEEEED/ THIS DATA!!”


“..It will cost you, your cooperation. And perhaps…a place in a project that will give you all the fights you could ever hope for. You reach this flux, and obtain its power, I gain its data. A win win.”

Smiiiiirk~

“Are we agreed?~”

[clumsynurse]

"Um!" Speaking up again. She had heard mention of something of the sort in research centers that had been lost or destroyed recently.

"These fluxes have been going on for years...they still continue to, as I'm sure you know. You aren't trying to reverse them like others have tried, are you?"

[how_vexing]

"It's safe to assume that he has just as much to lose as anyone. Hence the...press for an introduction like that" He'd say to Compa.

Many years ago there was talk of several continent's research centers trying to close or reverse the ways that riders appeared. Needless to say he and many others aught wind of that and eradicated the laboratories.

He of course, took it further than that...for good reason.

"This all seems too simple. However...you seem to know much. A little 𝙩𝙤𝙤 much, I've gotta say" He'd take a breath for some mild composure. "I accept" a shrug with a faint smirk of his own.

[kicksoffdragreder]

"Oi, what now...?" He was mildly worried for Asakura and Compa. However the others had to be warned.

[genmnokami]

"On paper it is simple. But going through it, not so much."

"Reverse them? Hah. If anything, I want to open and take advantage of them. If they close, the data and blessing they possess will be lost. Who would dare do something so stupid...they deserved to be deleted. Idiots." He spits, and tilts his head, smirking.

"I've been here for some time. Perhaps not as long as you...but the data. You Kamen Riders...the goddesses..the nations..the whole economy of this world..is WAAAAY BEYOND THE CONSUMERS /FEEBLE/ MINDS!!"

Deep exhale....

"Good~" Raising his bugvisor. "A signal has been fluctuating in and out for the last 24 hours. If it's the remains of one of these research centers...then there's no doubt the flux is in it's unstable stages. New Riders must have come by..creating a trickling affect. Like an old injury when the body faces irregular temperature. We must go. At once."

[clumsynurse]

Relief in his words. Or some, at least. Compa gave him a nod. Before looking to Takeshi.

[how_vexing]

"The ones known have been...ah, as you say...𝘿𝙚𝙡𝙚𝙩𝙚𝙙" a faint smirk.

"Fine, lead us. I'll take care of it" a lift of his head. "Perhaps this could lead to more clues on those other mirror beasts..." a rub of his chin.

[genmnokami]

A smirk.

"Perfect~"

POINTING ONWARD. Looking to the bug visors data signature, he leads ahead with his arm still outstretched into a point...!

"Now....This way...!!"

Already starting off. Clearly he's taken great joy and intrigue in this!

[clumsynurse]

Compa taking her rider's hand as they followed him. Red eyes throwing him glances every so often.

[how_vexing]

He was focused on what may lay ahead.

The thought of another fight not necessarily pushing away the one that just transpired, but a reminder of how he needed that thirst he's always had. Run with it, essentially.

A tighter grip on Compa's hand for the moment, his other on his advent deck.
