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.]

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.]

[of_many_treasures]

[Standing up and rubbing his cheek, Kaitou spun the DiendDriver and holstered it.] Would it be any condolence that I was trying to train your junior? I saw the conversations, and she sort of made a bet with me. If she can defeat my army, then I'll leave this world's treasures alone.

[Kaitou shrugged.] She didn't, so I get to come and go as I please now.

[fightbymoonlight]

You were training her? You call that training?! [Oh shit, Yuri's really pissed now. She walks right up to Kaitou and and if her glare was harsh before, it's a thousand times worse now. If looks could kill...] I don't know what kind of world you're from, but that's not how normal people train.

And I don't care if you say you made a bet. You can call it whatever you want, but you were attacking her. And a civilian too! What's wrong with you?

[of_many_treasures]

Riders fight each other. It's a legitimate strategy! [Oh he did NOT just say that as he shrugged.] And the moment the blonde got involved, I put Za Bee on her. Don't worry, he can hold back and was.

I just wanted to make sure that they were prepared for later. I've got a vested interest in the treasures that may be unlocked in this time period.

[sunbloom]

You don't need to get indignant on my behalf. [Itsuki stands up, dusting herself off, and glancing at Yuri.] I chose to fight, I'll accept the consequences. I do wish I'd made a better showing, though... and that I had a better excuse to kick that man out of our world.

Cure Blossom... sorry I couldn't hold him off. I'll make it up to you... somehow.

[bag_has_snapped]

[Cure Blossom let out a small sigh as everything seemingly came to an end. She wasn't happy that it seemed that Kaito went against his word, though seeing Itsuki stand up to Yuri...]

...it's alright. As long as you're okay, that's all that matters.

[She gives the other girl a reassuring smile at that.]

[fightbymoonlight]

There's nothing legitimate about a strategy like that. And it's not your job to prepare anyone, especially not like this! So I suggest you don't pull anything like this again.

[Yuri whirls around and faces the other who's she's been... kind of ignoring, actually. Her glare's dissipated, but her expression is still stern.] While it is very brave of you to fight like that, you really should leave fights like this to the Precure, like Cure Blossom. You could have been in serious danger. [Another glare shot at Kaitou.]

That being said, I'm glad the two of you are alright.

[of_many_treasures]

Can I say that I just really feel like they could use a hand? [An ungainly shrug at best as he sighed.] But if they insist on being heroes, they'll have to contend with threats other than your own you do realize that.

[Looking over at Blossom and Itsuki, he smirked a little.] The blonde has promise, Itsuki wasn't it? She'd probably make a fine Precure with that martial skill of hers.

For now, I'll give you this, as a token of keeping my word.

[Reaching into his pocket, he pulled out a couple of small objects and tossed it over towards Blossom. In the air, they were easily identifiable as Heart Seeds.] Call it a gift from another world.
