[GAME] Kamen Rider Knights (Main Thread)

Cisne, at this time was listening intently to what Joan had to say in response to her apology. Out of all the three girls, Cisne appears to be the least fatigued by the earlier encounter with dark forces of Aesir as she supports the now unconscious Reiko by her shoulders. "Bills? I don't think I quite understand. I'm still a bit perplexed by the terms in the human world. Plus, living on a remote mountain peak doesn't really help either," noted Cisne as she shrug at Joan's remark. Her confused expression was replaced by awe as she gaze at the apartment building. "You actually live here? It's not like anything I've ever seen. You humans sure are creative," noted Cisne as she is escorted to the floor where Joan lives.

Cisne was studying her new surroundings within the confines of Joan's apartment as Joan lay Reiko to rest in her bedroom. When asked whether Cisne would like to sleep on the sofa, Cisne can't help but be confused by the question. "Sofa? Cot?" inquired Cisne as she examines the strange but soft looking contraption sitting in the living room. "Sorry to impose but if it is alright with you, I think I would prefer the balcony," responded Cisne with a smile while gesturing that Joan could have the sofa. Cisne then proceeded to giggle as Joan was trying to figure out if Cisne would consume anything considering the fact that she isn't human. "I don't suppose you have any sunflower seeds?" inquired Cisne as she looks around some more.

As Joan tries hysterically to explain the situation, Cisne just smiled at her confusion even though she herself is not quite certain what Joan is talking about. "Over weight? Metal swan?" pondered Cisne curiously. "You see, we Fantasians are mostly derived from our elemental homelands. As a harpy, my element is wind and thus I replenish my energy by absorbing the air around me which literally means that I don't have to eat often but human food is quite interesting to the point that I can't resist. Mostly, it's more about personal curiosity I guess," explained Cisne with a smile as she tries to explain matters to Joan.

As Javiero is about a meters from Fang and Takuya's location, his body began to shift as he takes on his insect form which appears to resemble that of a grasshopper. With spikes protruding out of his arms, Javiero crossed both arms and readies himself to fire the multiple spikes at them once their transformation is complete.

Kaixa looked back up at the new figure, bearing a type of armor, a belt around her waist.

"Thanks... I guess." he replied. "And, who would you be?"

 

[MagiPink]

Behind the helmet Kitsune smile deeply towards the prosperity Kaixa held unknowingly. In order for her plans to go accordingly needed acting the part of a new rider herself. Raising both hands up in showmanship meaning no harm continued to walk towards him until they stood feet apart. “A friend, I hope.” Kitsune replied, “From what I’ve just witness with my own eyes this is also new to you.” Glancing down at her armored-self chuckled nervously “Not sure how to undo this transformation myself, but in this form you may call me Nexus.”

Kneeling down on the ground ran her fingers delicately where the underlings of Aesir once stood. It pleased her greatly have the liberty seeing exactly a small sample of his power. “My friends call me Kitsune, which is to say if I had any friends. Ever since losing my home and those close to me….due to these monsters…” allowing the dust slip between her fingers, “have been moving from city to city in hopes to end this nightmare after finding this…” with her free hand touch the gem on her belt.

Her eyes paused at him curious in a way to know how he got hold of one of the ancient relics. Kitsune held no actual loyalty towards anyone. In a few rare occasions found soles that reminded her much of like her own people wanted them to shine as brightly.

A waitress walked over to see if the two were ready to order Ebony had taken the liberty for a couple of raspberry flavored ice teas and asked for a few more minutes to decide. Already Ebony decided on a simple miso soup could see clearly the suspicion in the other woman’s eyes. “You’re quite all right not to trust me easily.” Pretending to be still indecisive towards what she wanted to eat, “If I were in your position would react the same way to be quite honest. Looks like you’ve got a lot on your mind and if there’s anything you’d like to ask…I will answer now to my limitation. Mind you it is only because we are in a public place and some things are best not said out in the open. Heheh…We’re not exactly like MIB.” Throwing in a movie reference to lighten the atmosphere.

Joan was relieved that she had not insulted her new house guest. "Your more then welcometo the balcony, just try not to attract to much attention. My neighbors think I'm odd as is." Joan spoke while scratching her head, realizing how seatey she had gotten from her fight, not to mention how sore she had become. "Think I'm gonna hit the shower...um, you do know what a shower is...never mind. I'll be back shortly."
Getting up and heading to the bathroom, soon Joan was enjoying the feeling of the hot water against her sore body. A shadow creeped from the bathroom and manifested itself before Cisne, Cornelius had chosen to use this opportunity to speak with the harpie. "So then, seems this is an opportune moment. Joan usually take hour long showers which should be sufficent time for us to speak. So tell me, what is fantasia's current condition?"

Damon quirked an eyebrow behind his helmet, intrigued by this new arrival. This... Kamen Rider Nexus, who exactly was she? What was a Kamen Rider anyway? Was she one of those Kamen Rider Knights, or was she different? Hundreds of questions filled Kaixa's mind.

"Your people?" he repeated, 'But since humanity wasn't annihilated then that would mean...' he thought to himself, his mind beginning to piece together all of the information.

"You're... not human, are you? And by that I mean biologically. You speak of humanity in third-person. You wouldn't happen to be a... fox, right? Kitsune is Fox in Japanese." he said. "And before you say anything, I don't have a problem with it. I'm more... accepting that other people I know in that respect."

'Perhaps she can tell me what the heck's going on.' he thought to himself again, 'What does she mean by relics? How can the Side Basshar be a relic? I'm pretty sure that motorcycles didn't exist way back then...'

Cisne smiled at Joan's response in allowing her to sleep by the balcony. "I thank you for your kindness. But I must at least apologize for sounding selfish in preferring the balcony and impose on it," responded Cisne with an apologetic bow. "However, I don't see how you would come across as odd as I think you're a very kind and generous girl. I will ensure that Reiko and I repay you for your kindness throughout our stay," noted Cisne with a smile. "A shower?" remarked Cisne with a confused look on her face which later lit up as an indication that she finally understand what Joan meant. "Oh...you mean the indoor waterfall you humans have in your small confined room where water is abundant," remarked Cisne with a smile, being proud of herself for knowing what having a shower meant.

"Enjoy your um..shower then. Just be careful of the current and don't hit it too hard," replied Cisne as she watch Joan enter the bathroom. Her smile faded as she noticed the shadow creeping out the bathroom. The shadow began to take form only to reveal itself to be none other than Cornelius himself. "You're the one that we first met. Cornelius right? What exactly are you? A Queer Folk? A Shadow Entity?" noted Cisne with a curious tone as she studied Cornelius' appearance. "I believe we have much to discuss," remarked Cisne only to have her eyes lit up with surprise when he inquired about the situation of Fantasia. "How did you know?" inquired Cisne only to stop for moment to consider whether it is wise to tell Cornelius.

"The last time I saw Fantasia was when the Dark One, Aesir led a rebellion against the Royal Family. Me and my follow comrades fought hard but were no match for the overwhelming strength of Aesir's forces. We were forced to evacuate the Royal Family to this world for their protection. I barely managed to escape as well but I was separated from the Royal family and had not seen them since. So, if you want to know what the current situation is, I'll say that it's pretty dire for Fantasia with the Dark One at the reigns," explained Cisne as she relays what she knows. "So, what are you going to do with this information? I think it wise for us to keep Joan and Reiko in the dark about this situation. They're not ready," noted Cisne with a serious look on her face. "I can't bear to lose anyone now, not this time," muttered Cisne softly with sadness in her tone as she see images of her comrades fall in front of her eyes.

To Cisne's first question, Cornelius replied rather happily. "I am a spectre my dear, once little more then a human inventor and alchemist. I worked alongside a certain group of my ilk to create items for strenthening the Knights of our homeland. Unfortunately during the creation of one such item my physical form was lost and my soul became bound to the item. Fortunately a dear freind took up the item and kept it safe until it could be completed, though the individual he completed it for never got the chance to use it.". Cornelius sounded rather somber when mentioning these two individuals but soon peped up even while hearing the grave news of his homeland. "Then nothing has changed, unfortunate but not unexpected. Do not take my smile the wrong way dear, for things could be far worse. If Aesir is still in Fantasia and has only sent the weaklings we fought today, then his powers are still not at their fullest extent. In lesser terms my dear, that means he can still die...".

Corneluis seemed a bit more energetic as he floated through the air and ended up standing on the ceiling. "Still, I am shocked to see a lovely thing such as yourself bound to one of our Advent Decks. We created them for mass production but the cost was to grave. Needing to bind a fantasian of the beast type to the deck and then what became of the being if the deck were to be broken...anyway I agree whole heariedly to keeping these detail between us. The girls need not worry yet."

(Doing a bit of a timeskip since I've been out for quite some time. Also doin' my squat thrusts )

Quite some time after the battle with the horde of Fireshades and Golems, Tamao had gently lay the exhausted Raina down on her bed. For a few moments, she observed the young woman sleep soundly on her bed. You have fought valiantly today, Princess. You deserve to rest... the buxom redhead told herself inwardly, a small smile creeping up on her face. After a while, she quietly left the room, and headed for the bathroom, where she had filled the tub with water while tending to the exhausted Princess-turned-Kamen Rider. Grabbing a towel from the closet outside the bathroom, Tamao proceeded to lock the bathroom door, and removed her clothes, as well as her glasses, which she placed onto the side of the sink. Upon hanging her towel at the nearby towel rack, Tamao gently entered the tub, sitting down into the warm bath water. "Father...I hope I am doing my job well," she softly mouthed to herself, closing her eyes to enjoy the warmth of the bath water as she leaned back.

Cisne listened intently to Cornelius' explanation of his origin. "I see. You're a specter bound to the item that tells the time," noted Cisne with a thoughtful tone as she ponders what a watch is. "Thus the item you mentioned ended up in the possession of Joan. Isn't that what your friend would have wanted? Why so somber?" remarked Cisne as she managed to grasp his story. "I don't think that might be the case. Even though the minions he sent to this world are weak but that doesn't mean Aesir himself is the same," responded Cisne with a sad tone. "I've seen my comrades fall under his hands. That's not all, he has a league of powerful Fantasians, whose hearts had been tainted, to aid him. I should know as one of them is my sister," explained Cisne with solemn tone as she recalls her battle with her own flesh and blood. "You may smile as you are as it's your nature. I, myself, am a bit clueless in most matters," noted Cisne with a blush.

Cisne watched as Cornelius floats off the ground and stood upside down on the ceiling as he explains about the Advent decks. "Advent decks? So that's what they're called," remarked Cisne with a slightly astonished expression. "My kin held two decks and they're known as Sacred Treasures. It was said that the Royal Family gave it to us as a sign of friendship. Our elder gave me one to me before I left my homeland to aid the Royal Family in order to uphold our bonds of friendship. However, I am uncertain about the whereabouts of the other deck," explained Cisne. "When I escaped to this realm, I was unable to adapt to it's surroundings in my weakened state until Reiko found me and somehow formed a contract with in order to save my life," continued Cisne. "If so that the destruction of the deck would lead to my demise, I have no regrets as I owe Reiko my life and I would not hesitate to give it up for her," remarked Cisne with a determined tone, however, a somewhat hint of sadness could be felt.

"Thank you," replied Cisne in response to Cornelius agreeing to keep the matter a secret for the girls. "By the way, do you know of the whereabouts of the descendants of the Royal Family? We may need to locate them if we ever want to atand a chance with Aesir," inquired Cisne with a serious tone. "However, I have to point out that it may not be wise to face Aesir. Don't get me wrong, I will help whenever I can but I just can't bring myself to face that monster again. Besides, even though she betrayed us, I can't bring myself to kill my own sister. And I won't subject Reiko to the same pain I felt," remarked Cisne with a pained expression in her tone as she shivers when reminded of the power that Aesir possess.

(OOC: I apologize deeply for my extended absence)

Ryuuya finally came to his senses. The white light had enveloped him, a pillar of light had penetrated the clouds in the sky, he felt every single cell in his body had increased in strength astronomically. His hand was no longer his own, as it was encased in black and gold armor. He felt his face, it was completely masked.

AGITO.. The shadow golems growled at him. He suddenly became aware of all the carnage that was happening around him. Screams of terror and anguish, explosions, absolute anarchy.

The golems lunged at him, and Ryuuya dispatched them after a long struggle

(OOC: Rushing through battle to try and catch up)

Ryuuya collapsed to the ground. The Shadown Golems were tough opponents, and defeating so many of them were tiring. He narrowly escaped being pulverized by one of their fists. He clutched his side, one of the golems had gotten a good shot at him. He struggled to get up. He staggered as he saw two figures face to face with each other across the street.

Kitsune??? he heard, wondering what kind of name that was, he glanced to see a figure in black and yellow armor, with a cell phone inside his belt...

He immediately recognized it was Kaixa.
