Chap 64: rider against rider
[World: kamen rider-clone body:Takune]
Ichigo and Nigou have been fighting against the S.H.O.C.K.E.R organization for years. Each time they felt like they were going to loose, it always turn out to end in their favor. The favor of justice, the side which they represent.
Not this time.
On the empty field is where their battle begin, no matter how many punches and kicks were thrown, the two side didn't budge.
Ichigo bend her body down quickly as a fist came flying pass above her head, then both of her hand raise to guard a kick that send her body upright. Extending her arm, she sent her own punch to be block by the new mysterious rider.
Nigou isn't faring any better on the other side, the man swiftly turn around blocking her hits. With both of her hand sending a flurry of punches. It was block by him usinh just one arm, he perform a sweep with his leg caught her offguard, Nigou was a bout to hit the floor when she catches herself. Pushing her hand onto the ground, her leg now free in the air perform a spin kick aim at his face. The first kick was blocked by his raised forearm, but it got knocked out of the way. Just enough for the seccond kick to land on his face, sending him barreling in the air for a brief moment and landed on his feet making space for the two of them.
His moves are just as fast, no. Faster, he is able to take them both on, alternating between fighting Ichigo and Nigou.
Ichigo thrown a straight punch as the same time Nigou sent a kick, both were caught in his hand. He shove them back and send his fist their way, Ichika catch it in her open palm with Nigou deflect the hit but still got send backward.
The feet of them slide on the ground with sparks spewing out until they came to a halt steps away from him.
Even with the two of them fighting him at the same time, they weren't able to take him down. Ichigo and Nigou thought they could overwhelm him but it was able do any damaged on him at all.
Nigou squinted her eyes under her helmet, the lens of her ocular vision closely observing his armor and movement.
'Stop holding back, at this rate. We will be the one that lose.' Her thoughts are urgent and demanding. But Ichika can't affort to be soft right now.
'Just.....i just, i got a feelling.'
'Seriously girl ?'
Their conversation was Interrupted by the kamen rider in front of them as he draw his right arm back. Catching both girl immediate attention.
"Rider punch." His fan wind up, lighting spark around his fist as he make charge towards them.
''Shit.'' Both thought became sharp as they have to counter the attack.
""Rider punch.""
In sync with their comrade, the two rider girl has their fist wind up at the same time. Traveling in such with force within their blow, it cause shock wave through the air.
Coliding at each other, the fist from Rider Neo which hold power of a lighting strike met the double rider girl dual fist which have imense power two tornado.
They all held their ground, trying to push the opposite side back. The ground beneath both sides' feet was crushed under the pressure they both exerted. Even when the strong wind was picked up around both of them, it did not shake either him or the two rider girl.
Through painfull grunts, Ichigo and Nigou put more force in. Their fan turning in tandem with one another, continuing as they make more wind power, the wind to swirl like heading to their call. It began adding to their punching force.
Unyielding from the coliding forces became so unstable that an explosion of light and smoke occurred. It cause an aftershock that sent both Neo rider and the double rider flying backward.
Blinding light was all in Ichigo eyes, once she got up she immediately hisses from the buring pain in her arm. The suit has managed to do it's job of protecting her body from most of the explosion. Except for her right hand which she use to attack, the skin from her hand to her elbow was burnt to a crisp. Luckily, she could still feel her flesh moving under there. That is also mean she can feel the imense pain that is running through her arm right now.
Looking to her side, Nigou is about the same, with her left arm in the same state as her.
"Hey, Ichika are you okay ?" She asked with concern to check up on her friend, struggling to stand up and get to her side.
"Yeah, i'm all right. Get it cuz-ack!" Nigou still tries to make a joke but the abrupt pain was getting to her. "You think it got him down ?" She shoot a questioning glance towards the field of smoke left behind.
"I doubt it, we might have to flee this one. Come on, i'll help you up."
*Ouch*
"Don't worry, i can handle myself. I also called in V3 just in case."
Throwing Nigou injured arm over her shoulder, the double rider were goung to retreat but then, a shadow walk out from behind the smoke screen.
"Shit." Ichigo curse under her breath.
"I told you to not be soft."
"How long is it until V3 gets here ?"
"I called her an hour ago......so 20 minutes ?"
Looking at the Neo rider, his body is mostly unharmed. His suit have some scratches and tears, his right arm got torn off completly. At first glance, it should be a good thing until her optic eyes caught a small detail.
His wound has already stop bleeding and closed around the damaged part. Judging from the speed which it is slowly healing, she can tell that hand is growing back.
Ichigo stare in shock but even though she was surprised, it didn't disturb her composure. There was something in him that she won't able to tell. Looking at his feet stumple forward, all forced and un-natural. She worried at how much pain he must be going through. Ichigo wanted to end this pain but her hero gut is telling her to find a way to help him.
The closer she look, then she sees it. On his in the middle of his forehead, right between the two bug like antenna. A small beeping red light, focusing on it, emitting a signal from that light.
"Hey, Nigou."
"Yeah ?"
"I got a hunch."
"Oh please, not now."
In this heated moment, following a hunch isn't what Nigou would do. But she trust Ichigo so if they're going after a hunch, so be it.
"What do we do ?"
"There's must be a part of him left. Help me break his helmet."
