//------------------------------// // Side Story: Story Of Cypher // Story: Kamen Rider Achilles // by Axle the Cobalt Exorcist //------------------------------// It was almost midnight. The clouds were so thick that the moon could not be seen through them. There was about to be a heavy rain storm and Cypher didn’t care at all for the forecast. In a remote area the young man looked at the only building for miles. Cypher pulled out his phone and played back the message left on it. “Cypher, your the only one I can trust with a mission like this. This location is a storage facility for nonessential materials and failed projects. That won’t mean it will be any less dangerous to get into. We need the materials in the case marked WR5. It's the only thing that can stabilize The Unicorn Advance’s power. She is getting worse by the day. But if we can make her better she may be the key we need to destroying the rider. I have faith in you Cypher.”   When the massage ended Cypher put the phone back into his jacked. “Don’t worry Doctor, I won’t fail you,” He said as he pulled out his driver. He put it on then slotted in the card to transform into his monstrous form. “PEGASUS!” The Advanced spread his wings and took to the sky. He flew over the barbed wire fence and landed right at the door of the building. The guard at the front desk that looked like a military soldier was shocked by this and immediately hit the alarm. Cypher punched through the glass door as four other soldiers entered the lobby. “Stand down!” One of the guards yelled as they all aimed there rifles. “Your not getting in my way,” Cypher said as he pulled out his sword. He lunged at one of the men before they had a chance to shoot. He picked up the soldier by the collar before throwing him aside. The other shot at the monster but he flew up to avoid the bullets. Cypher then swooped down to slice one of the men’s weapons in half. The solder was so shocked that he couldn’t react to the monster kicking him in to two others. “Really you think these toys can take on someone of my power.” The last solder unloaded his whole clip at the monster only for the bullets to be deflected by his sword. The Advanced slowly walked towards the man, deflecting bullets before there was nothing left to shoot. “W-What are you going to do to me?” The solder asked as he dropped his gun and put his hands up. Cypher was silent as he grabbed the guard and pulled him along. They soon got to an elevator which Cypher pressed the button to open. The Advanced entered and pressed the button labeled “B2”, this caused a panel to open with a scanner. Cypher held up the scared solder up to the scanner and after a moment all the lights turned green. “Thanks for letting me in,” Cypher said as he threw the guard out of the elevator before the doors closed. The man was trembling but after second he came to his senses and pulled out his radio. “Sir, we have an intruder making his way to sub level two. Should we send more men down there?” the guard said through the intercom.    In a dimly lit room was a desk with a monitor that showed everything that was happening in the lobby. Sitting at the desk was a blue skinned man with messy navy hair with a yellow streak in it. He was dressed in a black raincoat with a lighting bolts towards the bottom. “No, no. You grunts won't do anything to something like this. Instead I want you to lock down every floor but the roof. The elevator is the only way out of the basement and I want to meet this fool,” the man said. “Yes sir,” The man on the other end said. The blue skinned man got out of his chair and picked up the umbrella that was hanging off of it. As he got to the door, a boom of thunder filled the air soon followed by the heavy downpour of rain. “Hehehe, this intruder sure did pick the perfect night to attack.” In a room Cypher closed a briefcase before walking out of a small room. When he walked out of the dark hallway two more guards appeared and were ready to shoot. Before they could shoot, Cypher already cut the rifles before knocking them out with the brawd side of his sword. With nothing left stopping him, Cypher entered the elevator. He hit the button to head back to the first floor. As he waited for the doors to open he quickly noticed he had gone past his stop. Cypher prepared himself for what would happen when the elevator finally stopped. When the doors did open the Advanced was greeted by the sound of heavy rain drops hitting the roof. Cypher slowly walked out to see that he was not alone as he saw the blue skinned man under his umbrella. “I hope you found everything you were looking for,” the man said. “Who wants to know,” Cypher said as he pointed his sword at the man. “The name is Downpour, and I’m head of security,” The man introduces himself. “Well your doing poorly at your job,” Cypher said. “I could have flooded the beament with guards, but this is such a boring place and I felt this would be a good way to stretch my legs,” Downpour said. He then looked up to the sky as a bolt of lighting flew through the sky followed by a boom of thunder. “I love nights like this. The rain is so calming and the thunder gives me such a surprise.” “If a bunch of armed guards couldn’t stop me, What chance do you have?” Cypher asked. “Well even though this facility had a bunch of candles projects there are still some that can be useful,” Downpour said as he pulled out a strange flash drive looking device. There was a lightning bolt on it shaped like a stylized L and pressed the button on it. “LIGHTING!!!” He then threw his umbrella to the side to reveal a circuit design on the top of his hand. He inserted the memory drive into the pattern and it was absorbed into his body. Electricity covered Downpour’s body before he was transformed. He was now a blue skeleton monster with two electrical transformers on his shoulders. His head was made up of the jaw part of a skull and several lighting bolts making up the rest. “It’s too late to surrender now,” The monster said. “You will not stand in my way,” Cypher said as he lunged towards Downpour. When he swung his sword, it only sliced the air as Downpour transformed into lighting and avoided the attack. The lighting monster reappeared behind Cypher to deliver a kick to his back. He then turned to lighting again to strike from the side in less then a second. He repeated this a third time to punch Cypher in the face and knocked him to the ground. “Another reason why I love the rain is that my power multiples when the weather is like this” Downpour said with a laugh. Cypher held onto the briefcase like his life depended on it as he raised his sword. It charged with multicolored energy before launching a large slash attack. “Decode Refraction!” He yelled. Downpour saw the attack as. Turned into lighting to avoid the attack. Reappearing on top of an antenna. “Pathetic,” The monster said as he pointed downward. As of to obey his order, the sky let down a mighty bolt of lighting right down onto the Advanced. Cypher was burned in several places as he fell to his knees. “Jeez, what a disappointing outing. Well I guess this just means I’m good at my job.” Cypher held on with all his might but it was clear he was out classed. This guard was in a class of his own and was in his element in this storm. He saw no reason to continue fighting so he flared his wings and jumped off the roof. With another flap to took to the sky and flew away. “I need...to get back… to the doctor.” “I said you can no longer serenade,” Downpour said. His body turned into electric again before shooting up into the clouds. The abandoned hospital was just over a mile away But Cypher was starting to lose concentration. He started to fly lower before looking behind to see a bolt of lighting traveling through the clouds. The energy was right over him before coming right down on him. Cypher was now in a free fall, letting go of the brefecase before landing with a loud crash. Downpour soon appeared not to far as he looked down at the Advanced. “What a failure. Not even smart enough to know not to fly in a thunderstorm,” “I’ve had enough of you,” Cypher said as he pulled out his sword used it to try and stand up. “And what are you going to do about it,” Downpour said as he kicked Cypher back down. “Your a failure. You lose what you stole from me and now I’m going to make sure you never steal again,” he said as his hand charged with lighting. Cypher’s anger was at its boiling point. Being called a failure was something he wasn’t going to take. He was the Doctor’s first success. He carried out every order that was given to him to completion. The electrically guard was not only attacking his pride, but the Doctor’s and even the other Advanced. As Cypher’s emotions were going on a frenzy, his whole body was starting to glow. This caused Downpour to stumble back as Cypher slowly got back up. “I should be the one to call you a failure. You lost something you were meant to be guarding and now your about to lose it all,” Cypher said as he pointed his sword to the sky. He let out a mighty yell as his blade charged with a blinding white light. “Ozone Lightstorm!” He yelled as he bright the sword down. Before Downpour could react, the clouds were cleared away as large bolts of light came pouring down. The monster tried to turn I to electric to escape but the attack covered too much area. Before he could try and get one last hit on Cypher, the attack hit and resulted in a blinding light. When the light faded, Downpour dropped to his knees before  landing face first on the ground. He returned to his human form as the memory drive flew out of his hand and exploded. Cypher was breathing heavy. The attack took a lot out of him, but somehow he managed to find the energy to stand. “T-the briefcase,” he says as he turned around to find his target. As he did he suddenly blacked out. Not knowing that happened next. The next thing Cypher knew was waking up in a plain room in his human form. It was nothing more than a bed, a Window, and a night stand. This was his room. The young man slowly got up in order to enter into the hallway. After a short walk Cypher entered into an office with the sound of a heart monitor. The doctor was there tending to the unconscious girl. “Ah Cypher your awake,” The doctor said as he walked over to him. “Doctor I’m sorry, I lost the last chance we had to reawaken her,” Cypher said as he bows his head. “It’s ok Cypher…” The Doctor started. “It’s not,” Cypher cut off. “You asked me to get the WR5 and I will get it. I’ve gotten stronger. That rage I felt when I was facing that guy turned into new strength. I will get it back and destroy the rider along the way.” “That's good to hear,” The Doctor said as he patted Cypher on the back. Dawn broke and a certain purple dog was going on a nice walk through the neighborhood. Spike always loved seeing the streets without any people around. However the dog found something new this morning. In a ditch he found a briefcase that was partly opened. Spike opened it to find a strange looking crystal like rock with an otherworldly glow to it. “Oh my goodness, I need to get Twilight.”
