RL in Precure World (2010 HCPC)

[of_many_treasures]

[Kaitou had a plan. And it was a good one.

He had noticed that the girls in this era were, well, a little less competent than the other Precure Teams. Technically he shouldn't be on this world, and the more time he spent there, the less time he had annoying Faiz so that he can get his belt and subsequently avoid Aqua's key of doom. As such, he decided to help out as it were.

Peeking around the Myoudouin Statue, he cocked his gun and armed it with three cards. Three mid-tier Riders should be good enough as a start. Lets see what it brings...]

KAMENRIDE: HIBIKI! GILLS! ZA BEE!

[On cue, three Riders materialized in the middle of the schoolyard, and started menacing the populace while Kaitou watched from his cover.]

[Blossom certainly had her hands full, trying to keep Za Bee away while evading Gill's tentacles. Sadly, trying to juggle both didn't work out too well, one of them snagging her leg.]

No!

[of_many_treasures]

[Yep! And it's going to lift her into the air, and smack her against the ground a couple of times.]

Well that looks like her limit, [muttered Kaitou as he called Za Bee off.]

[bag_has_snapped]

[THUD. THUD. THUD. Blossom was dazed, in pain... but she wasn't going to give up.]

...I'm... I'm not finished... I won't let you have your way...

[And despite all odds, she's attempting to get back on her feet.]

[sunbloom]

[Itsuki wasn't idle during all this. She'd heard the loud sounds, assumed it was another monster attack, and started ushering the students outside. But as the sounds slowed to a halt rather than building to a crescendo and a bright flash, she became concerned, and left Erika to finish clearing the building, going to look herself. She didn't like what she found.]

Cure Blossom...!

[And she doesn't think, she just runs over to the struggling warrior, offering her a hand up, but glaring at the young man she doesn't recognize. It does not, at any point, occur to her that this is a bad idea.]

Are you okay? What's going on?

[bag_has_snapped]

Itsuki...!

[She hadn't expected Itsuki to come to her rescue and with Za Bee and Gills still out here, it was too dangerous for her to be out here.]

Don't worry about me! Please, get somewhere safe!

[She didn't want to talk and give Itsuki some sort of hint as to who she was, but she didn't have a choice - Itsuki's in danger!]

[of_many_treasures]

[Kaitou sighed as he realized he had been seen. Stepping out, he waved at the pair.] Congrats for noticing me! I usually hide better than that to be honest.

Now then, I did mention earlier Miss Blossom if that if you could beat my army, I would let you in on my plans, hmm?

[He eyed Itsuki as Gills and Za Bee moved to flank him.]

[sunbloom]

[Getting a better look at him...] Wait... you're one of the people I talked to earlier! [Her eyes narrow.] Here looking for treasures, then?

[Glancing aside, she tries to offer a thin smile to her companion.] I have a duty to do, just as you do. And no offense, but I don't think you're going to be able to manage this alone. I'm not totally helpless.

[bag_has_snapped]

It's you! [And Blossom recognized Kaito, too...and hopefully, Itsuki isn't going to put two and two together, but that's looking more and more likely with each moment.]

Itsuki, part of this is my fault - I told him I'd stop him from trying to take treasures here and...

[Well, technically, TSUBOMI said it...]

...just... please, don't get hurt.

[of_many_treasures]

I must say that's quite the fight you put up. Tell you what. If you can still beat my little army, then I'll leave things be. Otherwise, I'll keep searching for treasure.

May I introduce Kamen Rider Gills [and he patted the organic looking Rider on his shoulder] and Kamen Rider Za Bee. [Za Bee nodded.]

The one Blossom defeated earlier was Kamen Rider Hibiki. Quite an impressive show really.

[sunbloom]

I'll be okay. I don't like the sound of him coming to take things that aren't his in the first place. Him coming here and hurting someone important to this city, to me, is not winning him any points.

[Itsuki surveys the crowd as she stands in confrontation to Kaitou's plans.] Gills... Za Bee... looks like we've got our work cut out for us. Cure Blossom. Ready for this?

[bag_has_snapped]

...Kamen Rider... [No, Kaito couldn't be the Decade she was warned against. Why would he warn her about himself? Hearing what Itsuki said - that she, or rather Cure Blossom, was important - she couldn't help but blush. Looking at the other girl, she nodded and smiled at her.]

Ready when you are.

[of_many_treasures]

Oh? Well, go to it you two. [He pushed the two Riders forward. Gills took off in a dead run towards Blossom while Za Bee circled around, swinging in with a kick towards Itsuki.

Kaitou was nothing but observant. People who seemed to be on the community seemed to be very important to their worlds. And thus, more training. He wasn't heartless, but having seen how easily they were tossed aside made him feel a little off about just ignoring their plight.

Stepping back, he held up a new card.]

I believe it's time for me to join the fray. [And he spun a gun into his hands from a holster as he locked the card into it.]

KAMENRIDE...!

[Raising it over his head, he proclaimed one word.] HENSHIN!

DIEND!

[sunbloom]

It's fast...! [Itsuki moves to catch the kick, hoping she can throw Za Bee down into the ground, but boy is it strong! She goes for it anyway, knowing she's in trouble if she fails.]

[And out of the corner of her eye, she sees something she really didn't want to see today as Kaitou shifts into another form entirely.] Well. Looks like this is going to get worse before it gets better...!

[bag_has_snapped]

[And as Gills charged forward, Blossom ran in to meet him head on, intending on delivering a solid punch to his middle. At that point, she caught Kaito's transformation into a Kamen Rider.]

...he really is a Kamen Rider...

...DiEnd... "The End"?! Why is he called that?!

[of_many_treasures]

[Za Bee is, quietly impressed by Itsuki's motion as he is thrown into the ground by the reversal. At the same time, Gills was slammed in the middle, but he reached for Blossom's shoulders, in order to throw her.]

[Kaitou seemed to smirk under the featureless helmet as he watched them fight.] I'm rather impressed at both of your tenacity. And perhaps blame the creators of my powers.

[sunbloom]

Well, after saying all that, I'm not going to give anything less than my best. [Itsuki jumps away from Za Bee to open up some space and try to get an idea what her next move is; when she sees Blossom's in trouble, she'll try and get there, but it's probably not going to be in time.]

If you're "the end"... what are we supposed to do? Lay down and let you go?

[bag_has_snapped]

I... won't let that happen! [And as Gills grabs hold of Blossom to throw her, she goes for the protrusions on his shoulders, using the momentum to counter the throw and launch him towards DiEnd]

[of_many_treasures]

[Throw is pretty much countered as Za Bee launches a combo at Itsuki. Kaitou, surprised, dodges out of the way ungainly as Gills impacts and fizzles out of existence.]

Well I guess it's my turn then. [And Kaitou fires at Blossom's feet.]

[sunbloom]

Ngh...! [Itsuki's feeling the pressure; she barely dodges a few hits and gets clipped by one solid shot to the chest, but she finds an opening and throws a sharp elbow back at Za Bee's midsection.]

[fightbymoonlight]

[The moment she passed by this whole ordeal, Yuri was pissed. Can she go one week without encountering a monster attack. One week, that's all she's asking.

Once she saw Cure Blossom there, she wasn't really planning on staying long. Then she noticed Itsuki. Why was there a civilian there?! And... wait... that wasn't even a Desertrian they were fighting. What the hell was going on there?

She would prefer to help Itsuki, but at the moment she was closer to Kaitou. So be it then. She runs up to him and attempts to punch him.]

[bag_has_snapped]

[With Gills taken care of, it left Blossom open enough to aid Itsuki... though, she had to deal with trying to be shot at by Kaito. Before she could recover, though, she was caught off-guard by the arriving Yuri...]

W-Wait...!

[of_many_treasures]

[WHACK. Kaitou's head twisted from the attack, and he was thrown to the ground in surprise. So shocked in fact that his transformation dropped entirely and Za Bee vanished in a fizzle of light.]

[Holding his cheek, he looked up at Yuri, rubbing it.] You've got a mean punch, Yuri.

[sunbloom]

[Itsuki suddenly is attacking an enemy that isn't there; she overextended and falls forward onto the ground. She's too surprised to mind much, though, given the new arrival, though she's impressed enough that she doesn't open her mouth for fear of fangirling. Instead:]

We're saved...?

[fightbymoonlight]

[Yuri stepped back when Kaitou fell. Though his identity was confirmed when his transformation ended, she'd already vaguely suspected it might be him. He had said he might come to her world, he could transform and he could easily world-hop. It wasn't hard to figure it out from there.

Yuri just glared when he spoke. It was taking quite a bit of willpower not to punch him again.]

What exactly do you think you're doing?!

[bag_has_snapped]

Yu--

[Blossom stopped herself from mentioning Yuri's name. She didn't know if that would blow her identity any more than it had been and it best she didn't do anything stupid at the moment.]
