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.

"You're so lucky..." the threat isn't empty and she knew it.

Wandering on sheer anger alone probably want the best, but it eas better than waiting for Compa to not find the map.

Looking around cautiously as now they've come across a paved portion of road.

From:

clumsynurse

"This isn't the right way!" Her boots skidding on the dark pavement. A building coming into eye view

From:

how_vexing

"It is now" He'd state with a roll of his neck, eyes narrowing at the building that they're quickly approaching.

From:

clumsynurse

Looking over the grounds as it seems that some figures where lying all over, all of them wearing black from head to toe with thin white lines on their shirts and masks.

"Ah! They're all in need of medical aid!"

From:

how_vexing

"Shocker" His grip on her tightening. "No, let them lay where they are. They're not worth the breath they once had."

He's on alert now. If they're down then that means there's Riders nearby. "Keep behind me. Understand?"

From:

clumsynurse

"B-but!" His stance made her fall silent. Red eyes glancing around.

"Shi-shi..." whispering with a press to him.

From:

how_vexing

Bringing a finger to her lips, his other hand on his advent deck, gripping it tight with narrowed eyes.

"Come on out.."

From:

kicksoffdragreder

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

From:

clumsynurse

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

From:

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.

From:

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.

From:

clockupgatack

Walking around the left of the area after hearing voices.

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

From:

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.

From:

clumsynurse

Stepping around her taller partner.

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

From:

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.

From:

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.

From:

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.

From:

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.

From:

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.

From:

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

From:

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.

From:

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

From:

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

From:

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.

From:

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.
