“Hey, where do you get off at stealing my Cell Medals?” Ankh demanded, grabbing Eiji by his tie with one feathered arm, and lifting him up in the air. To his credit, Eiji didn’t really seem all that fazed. Ankh just continued looking at him, with a hawk-like piercing gaze. “Answer me, you bastard!” he demanded, shaking him slightly.
“Drop him Ankh!” Adagio shouted. “Drop him, now!”
“Relax Ms. Dazzle,” Eiji remarked. “I can handle him. It’s just like meeting someone in the boardroom isn’t it? I only came down here from the office to… negotiate a settlement. With him, actually.”
“Oh, you must be stupid,” Ankh said, tossing Eiji into some barrels. “What, negotiate a settlement with me? Are you that cracked in the head? I’m a Greeed, therefore I’m the embodiment of desire!”
“Yes, yes, I did catch that. You shouting it to the world isn’t helping my hearing any,” Eiji deadpanned, picking himself up off the pavement and dusting off his suit. “Greeed,” he continued, letting the word roll over his lips and getting a feel for it. “You really aren’t one for subtlety are you?”
Adagio had to stifle a snigger at that. Whoever he was, Eiji had nerve that was for sure.
“Why I oughta…” Ankh hissed out, lunging towards Eiji who simply stepped out of the way and let Ankh smack himself face first into a concrete pillar.
“Are you done abusing that body?” Eiji asked. “As I said, I did come here to negotiate with you, and your friend and I really don’t think negotiating with just a hand would be all that… easy.”
“Eiji Hino…” Adagio mused to herself. “Why the Hell does that name sound familiar?”
“How do you even know what I am?” Ankh demanded.
“I have a few friends in high places, therefore doing research on ancient history wasn’t that hard. Stumbled across references to a certain man and his creations wasn’t really that difficult,” Eiji remarked. “Now I’m actually not out to get you, or interfere in your medal gathering. Actually, I’m here to-”
“Negotiate, yeah yeah… We got that,” Ankh said, flipping Eiji the… ahem, bird. “That implies a barter of some sort, am I right?”
“Well, at least you catch on fast. Personally, I have no interest in the Core Medals, but the Cell Medals on the other hand? That’s another matter. Call it interest in humanity’s common good.”
“Tch!” Ankh muttered. “Humans, all the same. They all desire something, and you’re no different Hino.”
Eiji shrugged, a hapless smile on his face. “Not really, as long as I have a pair of clean underwear for the next day, I’m happy.”
Adagio blinked. “...Okay… But what’s with your interest in these… Cell Medals?” Adagio asked, one of the Taka Candroids flying into her hand and giving her a few of the medals.
“Well, it’s not my interest really, but my boss’s interest. Kousei Kougami, that’s his name,” Eiji replied. “You ever heard of the Kougami Foundation?” he asked.
“Should I have?” Ankh asked.
“Wasn’t asking you,” Eiji remarked, before turning his head back to Adagio.
“Yeah… sorta. Mega Corporation, right? The Aquarium got a cake from them last year, when we successfully managed to celebrate our 35th birthday.” Adagio trailed off. “Wait, you telling me you work for that guy?”
“Well, I just head up his operations here in America. Sorta kicked things into overdrive when those idiots in Shocker managed to pry open King’s casket and free Ankh along with his friends.” Eiji remarked.
“I’d hardly call them friends of mine. Sure, same species, but we’re not friends,” Ankh remarked. “Anyways, you still haven’t gotten to the point here.”
“Look, Greeed. They’re homunculus beings comprised of those medals right? I just want the cell medals, and as a tradeoff, for 80% of the Cell Medals you collect from the Greeed and their yummy foot soldiers I’ll send you information as needed. Sound like a fair tradeoff?”
“80%?!” Ankh barked, glaring daggers at the man. “That’s highway robbery. What could you possibly know that’s worth that?”
“Current whereabouts of the Greeed, and such. Yes, I realize it’s such a steep price, but there’s nothing in this world that’s free…” Eiji returned. Mind you, he had no such interest in the things as to be honest, he was just seeing how far Ankh was willing to go just to get ahold of the medals and what would happen to him if he did get ahold of enough cells to build himself a proper body.
“Bah, that’s not even worth 40%, you’re even thicker than you look, Hino. Hell, you’re even thicker than her!” Ankh dismissed him, gesturing to Adagio.
“Thick?” Adagio asked with an amused smile. “I seem to remember conning you into letting me use this,” she remarked holding up the OOO Driver. “I could of course just drop it down a manhole, for real this time, and then where would you be? Oh yes, out one Rider.”
“Bah, try bluffing when the fate of your city isn’t at stake,” Ankh snapped, glaring at her. “And keep quiet, dealing with one human is enough of a headache as it is.”
“Carrot,” Adagio replied, gesturing to the OOO Driver as she looked directly at Ankh. “And stick,” she continued, gesturing to the manhole. “Oh, I’d eventually dive down into the sewers after it, eventually, but you’d be without a way to collect your precious cell medals. And from what you told me, you need those cell medals to get yourself a body back. Granted, that’s a fairly bad thing from what I can figure out, as you with a full body probably isn’t good for the whole world.”
“You’d ruin your hair though,” Eiji commented. “I’m guessing you take pride in it. Most women do, from my-”
He quickly stopped himself, before he said something stupid that probably would have offended Adagio. Said woman didn’t look even the slightest bit annoyed actually.
“Eh, nothing a nice hot shower wouldn’t be able to fix. Anyways, swear I’ve heard of you somewhere before Eiji,” Adagio replied. “Just can’t remember where…” she trailed off, making a mental note to google the name later.
“You’re a fairly bad negotiator, you know that right?” Eiji remarked. “You’d make a terrible politician. You, without the OOO driver, yes you’d prevent Ankh from getting his body back but what about the Greeed? They’d still ravage everyone else am I correct?”
“Unbelievable, even the messy haired dunce gets it,” Ankh said, jabbing a finger towards Eiji. “If he can see through your bluff that should tell you something.”
“Here’s a question for you though,” Adagio remarked. “Say you get your body back, turn Earth into a wasteland devoid of any life except you. What then?” she asked Ankh. She knew perfectly well from experience, or at least reading up on the legends of various Kamen Riders, once you stuck that driver onto you, you were the only person capable of using it. She had no intent on leaving Earth to rot, she just wanted to see what Ankh’s endgame was first. That way, she knew exactly who she was dealing with, and how best to handle him. He was like any other dangerous animal, you just needed to handle him with precision and care. And if necessary, take a few steps backwards before you got bit.
Ankh was noticeably silent after that.
“Yeah, thought as much,” Adagio remarked, idly flipping the Same medal skywards like a coin before catching it in her hand once more. “You really don’t honestly know do you?”
“It doesn’t matter, all I need is my medals and a body,” Ankh grumbled, not looking at either of them.
“You know, if you weren’t such a dick and so intent on possessing people, I’d almost feel sorry for you,” Adagio replied snidely.
“Tch!” Ankh hissed. “You’re still on about that? I only needed to possess your sister to find out who had that medal! I gave the body back!” he almost whined.
“I actually do feel sorry for you, Ankh,” Eiji replied. “What a miserable existence you and your fellow Greeed must live. Only concerned about medals and the like. I’d like to try and help you, if you’d allow me. Just extend a hand, and try and find you a place in society.”
“Greeed aren’t meant for a place in society,” Ankh retorted. “Don’t even bother.”
“Damnit, why does that attitude of Eiji’s… Why does it seem so familiar to me? And that name, Hino… I swear I’ve heard about it somewhere else before!” Adagio thought to herself in frustration. A low moan then caught her attention, and she rushed over to Rainbow Dash’s side as the women slowly awoke.
“Hey, hey… You alright?” Adagio asked, helping her friend up. “Steady now, don’t do anything that might strain your body. Had a rough day.”
“I don’t get why she’s decided to partner herself up with you Ankh,” Eiji continued as he watched this. “I really don’t. She’s much too kind to spend any sort of time around you. You’re like poison if you ask me.”
“Because I have something she wants,” Ankh noted, gesturing to his current host. “And without me, she’d be clueless as to what to do with her belt.”
“Pretty sure necrophilia is illegal in just about every state,” Adagio shot back towards Ankh. “So no, and Hell no, I sure don’t want that body! Ugh, think I can smell it starting to rot from here. Or maybe that’s just your natural odor bird-brain… And anyways, I’d figure out how to use the belt myself. Not like it needs a manual or anything. Ever heard of learning on the job?”
“Ugh, I wasn’t talking about it like that,” Ankh growled, disgust crossing his features. Rainbow meanwhile, was just watching this entire exchange with a mix of amusement and confusion. “Do all you humans keep your minds in the gutters at all times?”
“Only reason I’m keeping you around Ankh, and not just tossing you in the nearest dumpster, is because you know more about the Greeed than I do. That’s it,” Adagio replied as Rainbow slipped into unconsciousness, her time as a Yummy finally catching up to her. “Make no mistake, if I were to learn more about the Greeed from another source, I’d be kicking you to the curb.”
“Fine by me,” Ankh growled. “And if you don’t collect Cell Medals, then I’d leave you high and dry on information.”
“Nice to see you two have reached some sort of agreement,” Eiji remarked before walking over to Adagio and kneeling down to her level. “Listen, there are a few things you need to keep in mind. Don’t strain yourself. You can't do anything more than what you can do, right? Right?”
“I… I suppose,” Adagio whispered.
“But you still have to try. I’m willing to help you Adagio, not just so that your only source of information is… him,” Eiji continued, giving a quick look towards Ankh. “You have to try your best here, you’ve got a responsibility to not just your own job, but the people around you now. Like it or not, you’re going to have to work with Ankh so that people around you can be happy! I’m sure even he can understand that… right?” he asked, looking again towards Ankh.
“Hey, why did you look at me when you said that?” Ankh asked. “I don’t see why I have to be involved in this discussion at all!”
Ignoring him, Eiji continued. “Listen, brave heart Adagio Dazzle, and never forget the people around you are your rock. The previous King… The previous OOO. He didn’t have that luxury, all he cared about was power. He didn’t care about his subjects. You do. Now, I’m not saying you should let your status go to your head or anything, but-”
“Yeah, I gotcha,” Adagio smiled as she lifted Rainbow into the passenger seat of her car. “Just keep on hanging in there, and protect the smiles of the people of this city right?”
“Err, something like that…” Eiji trailed off before he walked back towards his own car. “And remember, I’m still willing to negotiate here! Cell Medals, for information and whatever else the research labs can come up with!”
Ankh just let out another hiss before he leaped off as Adagio buckled herself in and drove off.
“Interesting guy… Eiji Hino huh?” she thought. “Yeah, definitely worth looking into…”
Rainbow eventually found herself awakening on a couch. Not her couch, really, which was concerning but a couch nonetheless. Groaning, she held her chest in pain. Felt like she got kicked in the chest by about one hundred horses. At once. Or she had a really bad hangover. Either one was probable.
“Okay, so where am I…?” Rainbow muttered before she picked herself up off the couch and walked slowly but surely to the nearest window, the evening light filtering through some particularly gauzy teal green curtains. “Place looks vaguely familiar, but…”
She looked out the window and saw acres of open land in front of her, a small forest off to the west of the area and an old Ford Bronco pulled up on a driveway. Wooden fences surrounded the patch of land, and horses galloped off in the distance.
“Can’t believe this, me getting stuck with you.” a voice muttered from behind her, and Rainbow whirled around in an instance, grabbing whatever was in reach for protection. Granted, that object turned out to be a stool but considering she recognized that voice, and moreover who it belonged to she’d take that over nothing.
“Aria…” Rainbow muttered, holding out the stool over her head.
“Yes, me,” Aria Blaze or rather this world’s version of her commented, hands on hips. “You know, if you were going to attack me, could you at least have grabbed the baseball bat? Much more likely to crack my head open.”
“Buh… Whu… Uh…” Rainbow stammered out, the stool slipping from her grasp and falling to the carpet below her with a loud clatter. “What… what are you doing here?’
“Keeping an eye on you, shortstack,” Aria grimaced, noting Rainbow’s much smaller size compared to her own. “Just like my sister asked me to. What’d you think I was going to do, ya doofus?”
“Try… Try and control my mind, or pull out a knife on me, or something…” Rainbow replied slowly, unable to believe her frankly terrible luck. First, it was meeting up with Adagio Dazzle or rather her human counterpart, -which to be frank, Rainbow really still didn’t see much of a difference between the human and Equestrian variants- and now Rainbow was meeting up with one of her two sisters! What next, she had to ask herself. To be honest, she wasn’t entirely sure if she wanted to know.
Aria stared at her, before she shook her head and flopped down on the nearby couch, before grabbing a guitar that Rainbow only just now had noticed that’d been hanging nearby. Strumming a few notes that Rainbow recognized as the opening chords to as Awesome as I want to Be -Something which Rainbow took personal offense to, given the one playing it currently- Aria sighed to herself.
“Ah yes, you’re running from the assumption that I’m totally and completely like my Equestrian counterpart, IE a complete and utter bitch,” Aria muttered complete with a roll of her eyes. She adjusted her jacket. Rainbow noted it had so many patched up holes in it, Rarity would probably have a conniption if she ever saw it. “Yes, that makes perfect sense. Constants and variables and all that. And before you ask how I know about her,” Aria remarked upon seeing Rainbow’s open mouth. “I’ve actually run into my Siren counterpart, and moreover her reputation. Made it almost impossible for me to get a job, I was lucky enough that some band downtown was lacking a rhythm guitarist after their previous one wimped out over stage fright.”
“I’m… sorry?” Rainbow asked, not sure how exactly to be sympathetic in this sorta situation. To be fair, this Aria wasn’t exactly that far removed from her counterpart in demeanor, occupation, and even dress sense. So seeing a woman wearing Aria’s face and yet claiming she was different from her counterpart was a bit more than Rainbow could swallow at the moment.
“It’s to be expected you’re low on sympathy towards me, couldn’t say I blame you,” Aria remarked. “My counterpart hardly did anything endearing really…”
“Woah, woah, back up! Just back up just a tad, okay?” Rainbow said. “Let’s just back up just a scooch. Since when did Adagio ask for you to keep an eye on me, and for that matter since when do you own a ranch?”
“Okay, one, Adagio for whatever reason -Yes, I know, she’s capable of compassion so can you get that through your thick headed skull shortstack?- said you were affected by something called a ‘Greed’ which I can only assume your desire for fame and passion went for you head. So she asked me to watch you. And secondly, who said this is my ranch?” Aria asked with a raise of her finger, and another set of footsteps was heard as the last person Rainbow expected peeked her head into the room.
“Um, Aria… You could try to be a little nicer to Rainbow,” Fluttershy asked, Rainbow’s brain fritzing out for the next few moments and rendering her incapable of speech. Fluttershy + Aria = WHAT THE FLYING FUCK? was what was pretty much going through Rainbow’s head at the moment. “She’s had a very long and tiring day…” Fluttershy continued, wearing a bathrobe around her and looking like she’d just got out of the shower.
Rainbow’s head whipped out towards the window once more, and now that she looked at that Bronco again, it looked very suspiciously like the one Fluttershy used whenever she needed to be on call as a vet for the farms in the area. Complete with a “I heart dogs and cats” sticker on the front bumper.
“Oi vey…” Rainbow muttered, feeling rather weak even as Fluttershy closed the curtains for privacy. Never mind the fact that there was probably nobody else for miles around. “I… I think I need to sit down for a moment…” she muttered, before collapsing into a nearby bean bag chair clutching her head in pain.
“...Well, she’s taking this a lot better than I thought she would,” Aria muttered. “Thank God you’re here Fluttershy, considering this is your best friend and all I figured you’d know how to handle her best.”
“Yeah…” Fluttershy murmured, pressing her fingers together nervously. “I just hope she’s not too mad about me keeping this a secret from her.”
“I’m in the room you know,” Rainbow muttered with a small huff.
“Remember when I asked for your opinion? Yeah. Me neither.” Aria sniped at her, switching up from Awesome as I want to Be into another song, one that required particularly fast strums of the guitar and quick chord change-ups.
“Aria, be nice!” Fluttershy said, hitting her friend(?) atop the head with a green slipper. “Look, I’m sorry Rainbow, for keeping this from you. I was just-”
“Afraid of how I’d react?” Rainbow asked. “Yeah, I suppose I get that. I suppose I do…” she muttered. “Could be worse, it could be Applejack or Sunset who’d you have to deal with…” she joked weakly.
Fluttershy didn’t look amused by Rainbow’s sense of humor before murmuring under her breath: “...They already know. Well, at least Sunset does. I’m not so sure Applejack does.”
“So, why is Aria Blaze here anyways?” Rainbow just had to ask. “Please don’t tell me she’s your girlfriend, because I think I’ve had too many shocks in one day already…” she muttered to herself, under her breath.
“Well, a few months ago, I found Aria Dazzle wandering the streets after getting thrown out of her own apartment by her landlord, apparently being cited as an inhuman monster and so I asked if she wanted to stay with me. Took a few tries, but…”
“Yeah, suppose it was better than living on the street like some hobo really,” Aria added. “Common sense won out over distaste in the end. Even if Fluttershy over here was in a way sorta responsible for my situation, didn’t have much choice.”
“Yeah, it wasn’t your fault Aria,” Rainbow said. “If you’re really who you and Fluttershy claim to be, blame your counterpart. Not my friend.”
“You make it very hard to hate you, you know that right, shortstack?” Aria huffed. “Anyways, you really should get some sleep. Trust me, you didn’t look in the best of shape when sis brought you here.”
“Alright, but I’m getting that couch. Much more comfortable,” Rainbow told her. “And if it turns out you two are lying about being girlfriends and I wake up to you having sex, I’m going out to sleep in the barn with the horses!”
Aria just laughed her head off, while Fluttershy hid her blush behind her hair.
The next day, Adagio was back at work, giving a tour of the Arctic Waters exhibit, which housed… well, exactly what the name implied, the tanks having to be specially cooled every so often for the animals it put on display.
“Now, everyone if you look to your right,” Adagio said gesturing to the nearby tank, an enthused kindergarten class led by a woman named Mrs. Cheerilee eagerly following in her wake. “You’ll see one of our pride and joys here at the National Aquarium, our seals. Today, it seems our Ribbon Seals have come out to join us! Now, the Ribbon Seal… What can I say about it? Well, it’s an ice-bound species, it is found only in of the North Pacific Ocean’s colder climates, one particularly notable location being right in the Bering Sea. It’s recognized easily by to me, its frankly striking coloration, with two wide white strips and two white circles against either dark brown or a black fur coat.”
In the tank, as he checked over the various functions and made sure everything was up to spec, Star Hunter smiled as he watched Adagio animatedly explain to the class all about the seals. One of them actually was so bold as to go right up to this ponytailed girl and rubbing his nose against the side of the tank. This seemed to be one of the only times Adagio did seem to be genuinely happy, educating people about the sea’s creatures, especially those that were trapped between land and water. Maybe she was happier at other times, and Star Hunter hadn’t seen them as he really didn’t have much of a relationship with Adagio outside of work, but so far the only times Adagio seemed to be actually at peace was here.
“Now, ribbon seals…” Adagio continued. “Despite their coloration, their pups? They’re actually born stark white, making it impossible for predators -Such as Orcas or Great Whites, and don’t worry kids we don’t have any of those here!- to spot them up against the ice. As they grow, they lose this fur and gain their more distinction ‘ribbon’ patterns, it sometimes taking up to three years for this to occur!”
The kids ‘oohed’ and ‘ahhed’ on cue, and Adagio continued her narration. “Now, during the summer and fall, the seal lives in the open waters, although this isn’t always the case. Some have been known to move north as the ice recedes as the temperature climbs higher. We don’t actually know much about what it does during these times, as they rarely go to land, so marine biologists like myself can only speculate as to what they’re up to. There have been rare cases where we’ve found ribbon seals in areas like Seattle, but those kids, you can count up how many times that’s happened on one hand. It’s that uncommon of an occurrence.”
Suddenly, Star Hunter spoke into his radio.
“Hey Adagio, there’s this creepy guy hanging about the edge of the exhibit. Just thought you should know,” the man said, noting this guy with bleached blond hair and a yellow shirt watching Adagio in interest. “I don’t know why he’s here, but…”
“I’ll go shoo him off, thanks for the tip,” Adagio said, and gestured for another tour guide -Some dude named Sea Spray- to continue the tour. Adagio quickly spotted the man Star Hunter had warned her about and chased after him into the back hallways of the aquarium. As she ran up a staircase, following the sound of footsteps above her Adagio went for the OOO driver, and pulled out three medals from her pocket. How she managed to convince Ankh to lend her these medals was another story for a different time, but it involved ice pops and puppy dog eyes.
“Henshin!” Adagio shouted, running the scanner across her waist and making the three medals light up in unison.
“Same, Kujira, Ookamiuo: Sa-Ra-Mi-Uo! Sa! Ra! Mi-Uo!”
As she changed into Kamen Rider OOO, she gripped her spear and kicked in a door, now above the seal tank on a small catwalk. Sunlight filtered in through a skylight, a now open skylight with the man having vanished.
“Okay, what was that about?” Adagio muttered aloud before canceling her transformation.
Atop the roof, Kazari smirked to himself. “So that’s Ankh’s pet human huh? Interesting sort… She begs further observation.” he thought before leaping off.
Meanwhile, Rainbow had returned to the city, still thinking over her childhood friend’s relationship with… Aria. It just didn’t feel right, no matter how Fluttershy put it.
“God dammit it Flutters, you’re always too damn kind for your own good,” Rainbow thought as she punched a wall mid-jog. “What if… What if Aria’s lying about being her human counterpart, and she’s just biding her time, waiting to shank you in your sleep when you least expect it?”
Maybe she was just being stupid, or overly paranoid, or just protective of Fluttershy as she found new friendships, she didn’t know. Maybe none of her fears had any merit to them, and they were all just her being just that, a complete and utter worrywart that would put Twilight to shame.
“Twilight…” Rainbow thought to herself. “Of course, she might know. Maybe the two are alike, Aria and her human counterpart! After all, pony Twilight was hugely nerdy, and so is this world’s Twilight so…”
Rainbow sighed, again maybe she was just being overly paranoid. Perhaps she should give Aria the benefit of the doubt and just watched and saw what happened. Aria could have been biding her time, or maybe she was just that. Harmless. And besides, it wasn’t like Fluttershy herself was defenseless. Aside from that geode which could probably summon up some really big and nasty animal if Fluttershy needed -Like say, a bear- Rainbow had seen it fit to take Fluttershy to some local martial arts classes, and get her trained up in Hapkido.
That came in handy pretty soon, as some idiot tried to have her way with Fluttershy. She’d floored him quite easily.
Now, Rainbow knew most ‘sporty’ martial arts, like say Judo, Brazilian jujitsu, and/or schools of karate and Tae Kwon were actually next to useless in a fight. It was things like Krav Maga and Hapkido that were the really useful ones.
Now, Rainbow knew a few things about martial arts, and how useful they actually were. The ones that were actually best suited to defense had to have these things.
1. It had to include striking and grappling
2. The motions should be simple and easy: complex movements? Forget about it. Too easy to fumble or mess up.
3. It shouldn’t have over-complicated or formulaic defenses. That only wound up getting you shanked.
4: The practice should actually have to involve striking another, and finally…
5: There really should have been no rules involved in this.
Hell, Muay Thai was actually a killing art, before it got bowdlerized down over the years. If Rainbow remembered right, it involved punching and kicking trees of all things in its early years.
Rainbow was suddenly drawn from her thoughts by a loud angry shout of: “Hey, get out of here you freak!”
Rainbow looked up, and across the street, that same cheetah zyuman from before was practically getting thrown out of a shop by a man. Rainbow let out a snarl of fury and stepped over.
“Hey, leave the man alone. He just wants a job!” Rainbow snarled. “What’s your issue, huh?”
“My issue is with him!” the shop owner, this tall burly man who had more muscles than common sense shouted. He was a butcher, and the blood-stained apron and the giant carving knife showcased that in spades. Rainbow swallowed, maybe this was a mistake. “He comes in here, asking for a job, when he shouldn’t even exist! He’s got his own Earth, so why can’t he get a job there huh?”
“Why you…” Rainbow hissed out. “Listen, just because he’s from a different world doesn’t give you the right to judge him!”
Rainbow was well aware of her hypocrisy at this moment, her breath catching in her throat. Earlier she was judging Aria Blaze/Dazzle/whatever she chose to call herself just because of where she came from, and now she was defending someone over that same issue.
“Can’t believe myself…” Rainbow thought.
Storming off, the cheetah zyuman caught up to her.
“You… You didn’t have to do that you know…” he stammered out.
“Yeah? Well, I felt I had to. Didn’t see anyone else doing a damn thing. Where’s the justice?” Rainbow shouted, and the cheetah sucked in a breath.
“...Not like it would have mattered. And you’re right, there’s no justice in it at all, but what can you do? The humans, they’re too set in their mindset. Even Zyuoh The World, this guy named Misao marrying another Zyuman -Named Lillian- hasn’t changed things. ...At least here in America.” he sighed sadly.
“Well, it damn well should have!” Rainbow snarled before a man wearing this green jacket and sporting slicked back hair like a greaser stepped out of the shadows.
“Yes, you’re quite right Rainbow,” Uva commented as a coin slot appeared in Rainbow’s forehead, and he tossed a medal into it. “But now, you’re going to be able to change all that. Fight for justice… Just like a Kamen Rider.” he smirked and walked off as a mummy-like creature began to form...
