[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.

𝘼𝙨 𝙞𝙛 𝙤𝙣 𝙘𝙪𝙚...
He would emerge. "Un! A-Asakura!?" He'd stare with a gulp.

[clumsynurse]

"Kido-kun!" Compa called from behind Takeshi with a smile and a wave

[how_vexing]

His stance doesn't change, although a grin breaks out on his face. "Kido...heh. What are you doing all the way out here? Alone, I'm guessing" His advent deck now visible in his hand.

[kicksoffdragreder]

"Compa-chan!" He figured that she wouldn't be far behind the murderer...so maybe he stood a chance in avoiding a fight. Compa could usually talk him out of it-

However...

"Alone? Eh..." Rubbing the back of his head.

[clockupgatack]

Walking around the left of the area after hearing voices.

"No, he isn't..." luckily, it seems. Eyeing the familiar rider before him.

[destclaw]

He'd come from the right with a glare at Asakura.

"As you can see, the true heroes took care of this...scum" He'd speak flatly but still matter of fact.

His attention on Compa, noting some familiarity.

[clumsynurse]

Stepping around her taller partner.

"Is everyone okay?! What happened here?" A head tilt.

[how_vexing]

Eyeing the three of them, most notably Tojo. He's seething at the way he's staring at 𝙝𝙞𝙨 Compa.

Yanking the nurse back with a curl of his lip. "They don't need your help" He'd almost hiss at her, although his eyes kept locked on Tojo.

[kicksoffdragreder]

He'd cringe a bit. He felt bad for the nurse. She truly had a good heart.

"A-ah. No, I think we're fine" a sweatdrop. Things could get dicey here fast. His hand over his own deck concealed in his pocket.

[clockupgatack]

"You should get out of here" this would be their only warning.

"There's nothing here for you, or for anyone" He'd state. A half-truth. He and his allies had indeed taken out the Shocker Troops, but the area seemed impossible to enter no matter how much they tried.

[destclaw]

"Why let them escape. They're both criminals"

He stepped forward, eyes still focused on the girl. "I'll take both of you down"

His deck in hand, he would flash it to his reflection in a nearby puddle. His black belt appearing.
"𝘏𝘦𝘯𝘴𝘩𝘪𝘯" sliding the deck into the belt slot. His armor appearing with a gleam.

[clumsynurse]

"W-wait!" Jerking back when Takeshi grabbed her. "Criminal?! But we-!"

Once Tiger transformed, she summons her syringe, bringing it up before her with widened eyes.

[how_vexing]

"Bastard!" Taking advantage of the glass syringe he'd flash his deck. His belt set on his waist.

"𝑯𝒆𝒏𝒔𝒉𝒊𝒏!" A flash and he's clad in his purple armor with his scepter in hand. Rolling his neck, he'd slip a card into the scepter's slot.

𝑺𝒘𝒐𝒓𝒅 𝒗𝒆𝒏𝒕. His spiral saber now in hand, charing at Tiger

[kicksoffdragreder]

"Wait!" A grimace before he too would transform.

"Henshin!" A gleam of red and his Dragon motif armor was set on his body.

"Wait a minute, Tojo!" Yelling as Asakura rushed in.

🐉Strike Vent🐉 calling his dragon-head gauntlet onto his hand and running over in hopes to meet Asakura in the middle, the gauntlet up to block his blade.

[clockupgatack]

Knowing this was going to get ugly fast, he reaches for the buzzing zector and slides it into his belt.

"Henshin!"

🪲𝑯𝒆𝒏𝒔𝒉𝒊𝒏. 𝑪𝒉𝒂𝒏𝒈𝒆, 𝒃𝒆𝒆𝒕𝒍𝒆🪲

A push on the beetles horns to shed the bulky armor early
"Cast off!"

🪲𝑪𝒂𝒔𝒕 𝒐𝒇𝒇!🪲 the armor sent flying toward Ouja and Compa

[destclaw]

Slipping a card into his slot.

𝘚𝘵𝘳𝘪𝘬𝘦 𝘷𝘦𝘯𝘵

Massive claws now over his gloves. He'd take advantage of Ryuki taking the brunt of the first blow from Ouja and come to slash at his side, bringing them both down against him

[clumsynurse]

Several pieces of Gatack's armor sent her to the ground, her syringe sails into the air before hitting the ground, firing a bright pink beam toward the attacking Riders.

[how_vexing]

A grunt, the flying armor and the strike from Tiger infuriated him as his saber was stuck in the jaw of Ryuki's gauntlet at the moment.

"Compa!" Gritting his teeth, he aims a headbutt at Kido, pulling his blade free to spin and slice at Tiger.

[kicksoffdragreder]

"Guh-" the headbutt sent him backward as well as the beam from Compa. He pants and issues a fireball from the gauntlet Ouja's way.

[clockupgatack]

A high kick coming in toward the purple rider once Ryuki stumbled away.

He wanted to keep the pressure on Ouja, hoping for a quick defeat on his end.

[destclaw]

Claws come against the blade, sparks flying around them.

"I know how you keep worming your way out of your deserving end, I'll cut that out of the equation..." a jab at his midsection before turning his attention to Compa

[clumsynurse]

Rolling to grab her weapon, pressingbthe stopper and firing to shield her partner. The purple rider encased temporarily in a thin shield.

[how_vexing]

"All of you are going to DIE!"

The kick from the beetle rider scooted him. Tiger's jab would send him to a knee before Compa's shield gave him a moment to slide in a card to gain Evildiver's tail whip, launching it at Gatack to trip him up

[kicksoffdragreder]

Hopping up and running to deliver a sliding kick despite the shield over Ouja.

"Ack!" Rolling over with a pant. "B-bad timing...ah. ah..."

[clockupgatack]

?! Falls on his back from the whip strike before recovering and coming in close with fast handed jabs
