Kamen Rider Legacy

"I can still follow them" Kenshi commented, going invisible again "I feel fast enough to still chase them"

Looking at Nancy, he simply asked "Are you OK?"

Using a bit of a wind trick, he made it so his voice sounded more distant.

"Gonna give chase now, if you want to stop it, say it now"

"I'm fine," Nancy said. "Kenshi, they probably teleported away. Running after them on foot isn't going to help."

Toon looks at the "noble".

Toon: with subtitles "You poor delusional ronin, you. Traps dont work on monsters of the week, they alway back fire and put innocent people in danger."

Toon shrugs his should looking at the meter on his belt.

Toon: "Boys and Girls who came from the hub if I remain in the this form I have one full day of ink, however I'm about to give myself some color so it's going down to ten hours."

Toon clutches his hand tearing away the space around him to reveal a colored, cleaner version of himself.

Toon: with subtitles "I bet you don't even know the name of the "BIG BOSS" Monster yet, do you Ronin. At least Al malgam is more like a western super villain I see him no less than once a month. In fact I think I missed our Parley lunch."

Daiki looked prepared to confront the riders...when a shuffling from the side caught his attention.

"Master?" Came a soft voice as a new figure approached the clearing. Bright eyes, black hair, wearing the garb of what could only be considered a Samurai himself...and what appeared to be a wooden belt strapped around his waist, filled to the brim with cards of some kind. "Are you okay? I've been expecting you for-"

When he saw his Master surrounded by strangers, his eyes went wide and his hands went to the blade on his side.

"Who are you?" He asked, his eyes scanning over everyone. "State your purpose!"

"We're like you, honest!" Nancy said, putting her hands up in the air. She pointed at the others with belts. "Hmm. Another belt-user. What is it with the multiverse and belts? I'm the only one with a trinket that isn't a belt!" Nancy complained.

"Well, that aside, all of us are sworn to fight evil, and it turns out that a multiversal warlord has been mucking about destroying worlds, and he leads an army of monsters," she intoned, a shadow passing over her face. "We're trying to find those like us so we can band together to save everything that was and everything that will be."

"If you're feeling confused, congratulations. You feel just like us when we were informed. Don't worry, it's part of the job, if you haven't learned that already," Nancy grinned awkwardly.

"I'm Nancy Weaver, and I'm also Kamen Rider Seamstress. I fight with a needle-sword and I can use magical threads to set traps and cast spells! Also, I can fly," she finished.

"No subtlety, huh?" Kenshi commented, as he stepped forward, his Rider form dissipated as he put a hand on Nancy's shoulder "By the way, my friend got a Rider bracelet, still gotta see the Henshin, though"

Bowing, he introduced himself.

"Arashi Kenshi, Kamen Rider Leo" He stated, bowing "You could say I do what I need to protect my people, I might be a warrior with a burning soul, a beast of the storm, or a bandit running with the wind. But all in all, with fortune on my side" Also, a sorcerer of the shadows, apparently, but let's not say that until I know what it does

August looked at Nancy and shrugged.

"It's just weird like that. I was a Rider before I actually got a bike. I think some of Dad's prototypes were different..."

He reached to the driver to de-transform but on seeing the drawn blade decided against it. As weird as this form felt, it could take a hit.

"August Watanabe, Kamen Rider Natura."

Despite still being in-suit, August had started slouching and was barely looking at the person he was speaking to.

"And yeah, we're kind of all in danger. We messed up a bit here but we were looking for this place's Rider to help with... the whole multiverse stuff."

"Not like I'm not used to being a target for these kind of things" Ishi said, shaking his head to drive off the question of how things were going at home with his monster's favorite target nowhere to be found.

He gently ruffled Nancy's hair as she finished her spiel to the new arrival, "No need to overwhelm the man, we can deal with the whole story after introductions" and then raised a hand in greeting as he stepped toward the stranger. "Sorry for the confusion! It looked like your master was in trouble, so we stopped to help."

Toon raises one cartoony brow.

Toon: with subtitles "So you and your lord thought it wise to try and set a trap for what were clearly mooks, and I'm assuming you don't even know who they work for. Guys these I don't think this rider needs our help they can 'Clearly' handle a multi-versal warlord, an army of twisted ink, sewing creatures, and corrupted heros themselves."

Toon extends the handle of his frying pan and uses it to lean on.

Daiki looked absolutely flabbergasted at Toon's flagrant disregard and looked prepared to lay into him when suddenly, the samurai raised his hand and blocked his noble's attempt. He quickly sheathed the sword and he turned to face him.

"They mean well." he told him, sternly. "I can see it in their eyes. Brash, head strong and maybe a little crazy, but mean us no harm. Even that one." He pointed to Toon. Daiki could only scoff and back away, muttering bitterly to himself.

"I apologize for all of this." he bowed deeply. "My name is Saito. It is a pleasure to meet you all." He rose up and smiled. "I thank you all for aiding my master-"

"-Even though they started the entire thing!-"

Saito ignored him, rightfully so, and looked at the group. "I am to understand you need my help with something?" He asked, head tilting. "And that you called yourself...Kamen Riders...?"

Yuri nods.

"Aye, that we are. We're just...not from around here, is all."

Toon nods.

Toon: with subtitles, "I'm from america so I'm not technically a "Kamen Rider" per say, but yes we are all riders and for the most part follow the rules of tokusatsu heros."

Toon points at the very other riders listing their themes including himself.

Toon: with subtitles, " And you samurai are themed after feudal Era japanese warriors."

"Yeah, sorry about Hawthorne," Nancy said, scratching her head. "It's not really his fault though. Transforming takes away his inhibitions. He's more sedate when he's not transformed. Sorry." She grinned awkwardly, belatedly remembering to cover her mouth with a sleeve.

"I think we're called Kamen Riders. I dunno why. But it's the traditional title for people who use belts and trinkets to transform into powerful warriors to fight evil..." she trailed off. "Anyways, I'm going to have to take the book again..."

Nancy yanked the book over again with a thread.

"This is us..." Nancy said, flipping the book to the pages describing the merry Rider band. Of note was the battle in Code's world, and it showed images of Natura and Leo taking on Izzei, Seamstress fighting Teka in a forest of razor wire, and finally Plasma blasting Teka with a firey rocket. Then Alloy was pulled in by Toon—and then Geki arrived and promptly twisted Ichi into a spider-monster. After that, it showed Plasma geting wrecked by merely a push of Geki's hand and the subsequent retreat. All was drawn in the style of Japanese woodblock printing.

"This is you..." This showed Saito's exploits. They were no less awe-inspiring than the deeds of the other Riders.

"And we need your help. Very badly. For reasons you have seen," Nancy finished gravely. "Of course, if you want us to help you out first, we're not averse to that. We're sworn to help people."

Ishi took a breath as he resisted the urge to smack Toon upside the head for his attitude toward the locals.

"It's fine. Just glad we could clear things up, Saito"

Kenshi shrugged.

"I conceal my face and I have a trusty ride that I take for combat, guess that's what usually makes a Rider"

Looking aside at the mention of their "fight" with Geki, he growled, his rage actually showing.

"Next time I see those bastards, I will make them pay"

Saito and Daiki both gazed into the book, both silent and Saito's eyes swimming in awe.

"I remember this!" he whispered excitedly. "This is when I first find the Belt! And the cards!"

"What sort of sorcery is this!?" Daiki snapped as he stepped away. "They're capable of knowing the past, but the future as well!"

"Well, look at this, Daiki." Saito said, as he pointed towards the book. "Apparently, you pass protecting me from an attack!"

"UNHEARD OF! YOU WOULD DIE FOR ME!" Daiki shrieked.

Saito ignored him and crossed his arms. "This is all quite a bit to take in....his Geki individual is quite...well, unlike anything I've ever seen. The ability to...do that..." he chuckled softly. "I'm not sure how I could help, given how..." He gestured to them. "Given how vastly different our powers are, when you get right down to it..." He pulled out hsi sword. "I do not believe this would do much..."

"Well...the future is always bound to change," Nancy said, taking out and staring at the Pinky Thimble. "And with this little thing, I can change Fate...but my enemies also do the same thing, so, maybe not!"

She stowed it away in a hurry, flustered.

"I need to engage myself in a philosophical debate later," she chuckled. "But that's a different matter."

"We need a lot of Riders. Every little bit helps. If we could band together and unleash some kind of mega-super-combined attack, it might just win us the war," Nancy mused.

"And we need to prevent the monsters here from joining Geki's army. Fortunately, that might help you both. So...do you want to exchange favors?"

Ishi folded his arms. "It's true, right now we can't even touch Geki. But the fact the book led us here means you likely have the capacity to grow beyond the limitations you'd have in this world"

"Maybe...like us...you're someone with a Golden "Core", someone with limitless potential!"

-Determined Yuriko face-

"The more people the better" Kenshi said, calmly "As long as we all can feel we can trust them, there should be no problem"

They seemed decent people, even if he didn't know how he would get along with them.

"Limitless potential...?" Saito said, the wonder in his voice growing as the excitement did in his eyes. "If my potential is to grow, then of course I will help you! But...how could I possibly find out if I am a Golden Core...?" He looked down at his chest, putting a hand over his heart. "Could it be a metaphor? Or is it literally-"

"You cannot tell me you honestly believe these fools!" Daiki shouted, moving in front of them. "For all we know they are simple moles for the Khan! The fact THAT one almost got me killed is more than enough proof!"

"Daiki, anyone within five minutes of meeting you would want to kill you." Saito said, his tone dripping and deadpan.

"WHA-HOW DARE-"

"I apologize for him." He put his hand over Daiki's face and pushed him away. "He's been like this since we were children. He lets his position get to his head."

"THAT IS BECAUSE I-"

"Of course I will help you, my friends." He smiled and bowed heavily. "If you require the aid of one such as I, I would be more than happy to lend it." A pause as he rose to his feet. "But, Daiki does have a point...fighting two enemies would be difficult in the long run..." He snapped his fingers. "I got it! If you are as powerful and as pure as I assume you all are...then you just need to help me defeat the Khan! And then, I could focus on protecting this...other world...situation."

Kenshi just smirked at the proposal. While these two seem like a second away from acting like a Manzai, he never knew when to back down.

"Sounds fair" He said, acting surprisingly casual "Once they appear, I can beat them up, but I don't want to force the others into it, it's their choice"

Nancy had drawn her legs up so that she appeared to be sitting cross-legged in mid-air. She said, "That's the spirit, but what direction do we go in...?"

As she asked that, she put her feet back onto solid ground.

Toon having stopped paying attention to the borderline comedic antics of the moron lord and the genuine samurai has been drawing in the air with his crest what resembles an armored horse combine with an ATV with treads (a Ripsaw ATV). With a flourish of his pen, his drawing seems to become real.

Toon: with subtitles " Huh.... OH were all of you talking. I made the ronin a new horse... I got bored..."

Toon wiggles the brow of his helmet at the samurai and winks Deadpool style.

Yuri chuckles, “Defeating a major villain...sounds like a standard Marsday for me.”
