Cherreads

Chapter 7 - Fourze

Shin arrived at the half-destroyed moon base and went near the base wall. He then used his X-Ray vision to looked inside. Shin saw the inside of the base looked futuristic and high-tech device filling the entire base. He also noticed three youth talking to each other. As he observed the situation inside the base, Gentarou stole something from Kengo's hand. Shin glanced at the device on Gentarou's hand and said in an intrigued manner, "Is that the belt?"

===========

"Give it back, Kisaragi! That is not something you can handle!" Yelled Kengo furiously at the delinquent boy in black attire. He tried to snatch the device back from Gentarou's hand, but his strength and speed pale compared to Gentarou's.

"You are one to talk. I'm in better condition than you currently are." Gentarou said as he inspected the device on his hand. With a wide grin on his face, he imagined finally settle the score with the red monster from before. "With this, I can beat that monster, right?"

"I'm going to borrow this for a moment!" He shouted as he ran away from the base.

"Wait! Get back here, Kisaragi!" Kengo wanted to chase after Gentarou, but suddenly he felt a huge headache assaulted him. Yuuki's dumbfounded look at her fleeing childhood friend. She looked between her collapsed friend and her now escaped childhood friend for a moment and then chased after Gentarou.

Kengo fell on his knees and then slammed his fist on the floor " Why was I born with this stupid body!?"

The almighty immortal was standing on the vacuum space outside the base without the kids knowing and peeking through their banter. After witnessing the hot-blooded youths inside the base, the immortal chuckled as he stepped back, entering a portal that appeared behind him " Youth~."

"Whats happens?! Stop running in the hallway!!" Ohsugi-sensei fumed at the students' behavior, running on the school hallway. He tried to stop one of the students from running, trying to interrogate him. Still, the student just slapped his hand away while continue running away.

"What is happening, Ohsugi-sensei?" Asked Sonoda that just came out from the teacher's office.

"Oh Sonoda-sensei, the student...." Without finishing his speech, Ohsugi-sensei found the source of the students' terror and joining the fray and ran away. "Aaaaaaaaaaaahhhhhh!"

Sonoda-sensei looked in the direction Ohsugi-sensei was pointing and found a bulky red monster walked slowly through the hallway. The monster punched a nearby student and shot a beam everywhere. "Kyaaa!"

Every student and school staff ran away frantically from the scene, trying to save their life from the monster assault. Except for one eyeglass-wearing student that stood calmly on the corner of the hallway oversaw the situation. He observed the situation and was ready to interfere if the problem turned to the worst.

While he observed the situation calmly, a boy suddenly appeared beside him and talked to him. "How is it, Sei-kun?"

"Please refrain from using your power inside the school premises. Normal human does not appear out of nowhere, Shin-sama," Said Seiji without looking at the newcomer.

"Drop the sama! No one is looking anyway, and I just have to erase any witnesses if needed," said Shin nonchalantly.

Seiji glared coldly at his carefree master. Shin shuddered at Seiji's glare and hastily corrected his word, " THE MEMORIES, I will erase the witness memories! What you take me for?!"

"A potential world-ending calamity?" Replied Seiji with a little bit of doubt.

"You! I don't do that kind of thing anymore ... you know, killing my kinds."

"Your kind? Do you mean Monsterkind?" asked Seiji

"Humankind!" Shin retorted with all his might at Seiji's words.

"Anyway, the situation is still under control. Surprisingly, any of Orion zodiart attacks did not result in any causalities." Seiji just brushed off his fumed master and continued with explaining the situation.

"Oy, don't brush it off like that! ...*sigh*... So where the hero boy?" Shin gave up on retorting his aide and asked Seiji with seriousness.

"He just arrived at the scene," Seiji said as he pointed at the stair.

Gentarou was running up the stair from the first level and confronted Orion zodiart. He confidently pointed the device in his hand toward the incoming monster. But, nothing happened after a few seconds of waiting. "Huh? Oh crap, I forgot to ask how to use this thing!"

"How...? What...? How do I...?" He shook and rotated the device trying to figure out how to use it. While Gentarou inspected the device, Orion zodiart noticed his presence and slowly approaching him. The closer the monster walked toward him, the more panicked he felt.

Just as he shook the device in confusion and panic, Yuuki came to the rescue. "Alright! Alright! Alright! Calm down. Just stick it onto your waist!"

"Hah!?"

"Hurry up! Like this!" Yuuki impatiently snatched the belt and put it on Gentarou's waist. Suddenly belt strap appeared and tightened around Gentarou's waist. "Now, flip the switches!"

"Switches?"

"Yeah! They will give you the power of the cosmos. You're gonna transform, Gen-chan!" Yuuki said with passion while struck a pose.

"Eh? The power of the cosmos...?" Asked Gentarou with a face full of doubt.

"That's right!" Yuuki confirmed Gentarou's doubt as she flipped the switches on the belt. Just after she scanned all the switches, she then took a cover on the corner.

"Hey, why are you running away!!"

[3....2.....1....]

"Now, quickly! Shout 'Henshin!' and pull that level! Then do this!" Yuuki said as she demonstrated every pose and moves that Gentarou needed to do, finishing with putting her right hand up in the air.

"Huh?!"

"Just do it already!" Yuuki told her childhood friend while jumping excitedly.

Gentarou did the pose that Yuuki told him to do. He formed his left hand into a fist and put his left forearm across in front of his chest, and shouted, "...Henshin!"

"...Then I pull the lever... and then this!" He pulled the lever on the right side of the belt and then put his right arm up in the air. Just as he finished do what he told to, a surge of cosmic energy poured out from a small portal above Gentarou's head. The sheer amount of power resulted in a blast of a shockwave that dispersed to the surrounding area.

The cosmic energy then formed a tube enclosing Gentarou. After a while, a white suit and armor slowly formed on Gentarou's body. The suit and armor on Gentarou's body look like an astronaut suit, while the helmet on his head resembling a rocket. "I dunno what's going on. So... Blast off!"

(A/N: Uchuu kitaaaa!! Lit. Translation: Space is coming. it was one of Kamen Rider Fourze catchphrases after he finished the transformation)

Gentarou transformed into Kamen Rider Fourze. He was wearing a tight suit armor that was flexible yet durable. At his arms, there were big gauntlets like armor that also appear on his two legs. On the armor engraved different symbols between each limb. On his right arm armor, there was a circle, while on his right arm there was a square. On his right leg, there was a cross, and while on the other a triangle.

(A/N: I believe this was a reference to PlayStation controller buttons sign)

His head now covered in a slightly odd helmet resembling a rocket, with small wings where the ear should be. In front of the rocket, the helmet was painted black where his face was with two round orange visors and two small antennas above them that looked like eyes and eyebrows.

"Let's do this man to man!" shouted Gentarou as he pointed his fist to Orion Zodiart.

Shin secretly watched the fight on the rooftop of the building across the fight was happening. He frowned at how the novice hero fought.

"Uwaahh~ the fight is unbearable to watch. What does he think it is? Street fighting against thugs?" Shin commented with annoyed tones. Shin suddenly remembered a man from years ago. "Compared to that Tendou boy from Shibuya ... It's not even comparable"

Through the fight against the monster, Gentarou destroyed a lot of walls and schools facilities. After listened his childhood friend, Gentarou activated one of the switches on his driver, activating a rocket attachment on his right hand. Gentarou who on a disadvantage began to fight back, but with the price of the destroyed school building roof as he dragged Orion and flew out of the building.

Witnessing the scene, Shin facepalmed and shouted in annoyance " You supposed to protect the school not destroying it! This is why I hate newbies!"

*ring* *ring*

While Shin complained about how amateurish Gentarou fight his phone rang. As he looked at the caller's name his annoyance disappear and he picked up the phone.

"Yours truly speaking"

"Hello, good afternoon Shin-sama. I hope you are enjoying your school life" Said the person on the other side.

"It's not bad at all. The schoolgirls nowadays are sight for the sore eyes, haha" Shin was laughing like a pervert old man.

"That is good to know." The other person was not minding Shin jokes as he replied respectfully.

"Cut to the chase, will you? What is the Hiden Intelegence CEO, Hiden Kurenosuke, need from me?"

"I need your favor and help regarding the Humagear project. I need it to finish as soon as possible."

"Oh, that project your boy lead?" Asked Shin

Hiden Kurenosuke from the other side of the phone suddenly went quiet for a brief moment before replying "... yes"

Realizing a sudden change in the tone Shin asked the man "What happened?"

"Sereo was caught in an accident. His lab was destroyed by an explosion."

"I am sorry for your loss. If your request is for me to revive him, I don't want to"

"It's not that. I know about your rules, but... the boy wants to finish this project and he uploaded his consciousness and memories to the database. And he wishes to be reborn as a humagear to raised his newborn baby."

"You!"
