Spirit #01: De Ontwaking (The Awakening)
===
The sun is shining through the darkened rain clouds, lifting away another rainy day that has been plaguing the city for some unknown time now.
At the local schools that are around the place, many children ran out from the schools, happy that the weekend is about to start once they get home by either walking or taking the bus.
“I am telling you, the SPD Shadow Power Ranger is better then the Black DT Power Ranger” one of the kids in one of the many groups, tells towards his friends, apparently being in some sort of discussion on who the best Power Ranger is, the other kid buts his head into the convoy as well,
“You’re kidding lah, Anubis Cruger isn’t the best” he said, “...And neither is Tommy... Conner is the best!” the kid finishes as the others in the group groans hard, not believing at how their friend can like Conner.
The streets are crowded; the traffic is heavy, as people are rushing to either get home, or towards their jobs which starts at that time of hour; that or needs to go shopping for groceries.
It is a true rush hour, even at the streets where people seems to be flying from one point to another, all acting like headless chickens and only paying time at how short amount of time they all seem to have.
Busy, rushing, even talking into their mobile phones, they all walk which almost looks like running or speed walking, passing by several people who are walking around the streets carrying donation cans,
“Sir, can you...” one of them calls out towards a passing by business man, being dressed in casual clothes and a red colored waist coat with the Stop Aids Now logo printed on it,
“...spare some money for the Aids foundation please?” but the business man continues to walk away, seemingly ignoring or pretending not to have heard him,
“Asshole...” the donations man mutters annoyed under his breath, only to say something nobody can hear, with his eyes flashing a different color.
===
Somewhere else however, somewhere more towards the south of Singapore, the bell rings for a final time, indicating that it is the end of a work day for all the teachers of the local High School.
Walking around the building, heading towards the parking lot where cars and a bike are parked, is a young man with short curled, dark brown/near black hair and brown eyes while having a tanned body which seems to be covered mostly by a white business shirt and leather trousers, while having a back pack resting on his back,
“Masahiro... Masahiro...” a woman’s voice calls out towards the young man, who slowly stops in his tracks and looks over his shoulder, seeing a young woman, probably around the age of 23 with long black hair that seems to rest midway over her back, high heels and a knee length skirt of a dark grayish color are the only things that seems to be covering up her legs while her torso is covered by a bluish business shirt and a dark grayish business coat.
His eyes travels up, watching how the young woman comes to a slow halt, her long legs being sleek and yet muscular, screaming feminine like a thunderstorm, her body having the perfect hourglass shape as her breasts are in 1 line with her hips, he watches how she pants the air out and back into her lungs, through her small lips, as well as having a cute little nose and eyes as blue as sapphire gemstones, which are shining a clear blue with the sunset,
“Masahiro-san... Wait”
“Chun Li-chan,” Masahiro calls out with a friendly smile, along with a Thai accent, towards the woman who’s still panting a bit before fully getting her breath back,
“What do I owe the pleasure?”
“Masa...” Chun Li began, “...You’ve forgotten to give your classes their homework assignment again”
Laughing, Masahiro can’t help it but to disagree with his fellow teacher and close friend, as he places one of his hands on top of her shoulder, looking deeply into her eyes,
“Chun Li, as my old Sensei once told me, there are times to train; and times to have fun”
“Meaning what?” Chun Li asks him, having a rather confused but also a serious frown on her face, this causes Masahiro to laugh again,
“Its meaning is plain simple,” he began, “let the kids study when the time calls for it,”
Throwing his arms out quickly, he grabs Chun Li around the waist, pulling her a little bit closer towards him, Chun Li squeals in surprise at the strength of her fellow teacher and friend,
“And let them have fun so that their minds are focused again”
“O... Okay, I think I get it now lah” Chun Li answers after having to regain her breath and bearings, as she slowly and gently gets put down on the ground by Masahiro, who slowly removes his arms from around her waist, this causes Chun Li to place her hands against her hips, while looking a bit angered before bursting in a quick chuckle,
“You got me there lah, but still your teaching is not like we do”
“Perhaps that’s why I’ve been hired, cause I am different” he answers her as he walks back towards the bike, a specially build chopper from the OCC crew all the way from New York, USA, the bike being build in the fashion of a Black Widow spider colored mostly black with some red.
Shaking her head, Chun Li watches at how Masahiro mounts the bike, igniting the ignition as the engine roars to life; crossing her arms, she walks closer towards the guy,
“So, you have any plans for the weekend?”
“I have no plans for the weekend, save for checking those tests” Chun Li answers with a friendly smile, somehow knowing that he’s trying to ask her out on a date.
Lowering his eyes a bit, he slightly turns his head away in a defeated manner,
“I see, alright. This is because of my accent?”
“Maybe, maybe not” Chun Li replies, keeping up a fake smile to hide the fact that she is lying towards the young man,
“Hey, have a nice weekend okay lah?”
“Yeah, you as well, ciao” Masahiro replies as he kicks up the stand of his bike, revving up the engine a bit more as he speeds out of the parking lot and away from the school terrain, leaving the woman behind who waves him a good bye...
===
The skies has turned as dark as coal, followed closely with the sheer coldness of the nights with the streets lights having been turned on and hardly anybody awake is walking the streets except for beggars, dogs and alley cats, all except for 1 guy dressed in a black business clothing who is walking away from a rather big office building,
“Stupid boss for making me work overtime” the same business man from earlier that talks towards himself annoyed while holding his briefcase close to his chest, he makes his way back home by foot, walking through the park.
High up in the charcoaled skies, the full moon tries desperately to illuminate the park below with its shine, sadly the trees and the street lights are blocking it all, causing a sudden mist to show from out of nowhere to rise from the ground, blocking out the view ahead, as well as causing the street lights to flicker upon falling out, this causes the business man to look around him confused as he walks further through the park, and thus through the strange thick mist,
“Nani?” (“What?”) He whispers towards himself as his eyes continues to dart from left to right, trying to see something or somebody for that matter, he holds his briefcase closer towards his chest as he starts walking slower, the sweat slowly starts to poor from his face cause of the strange heat that seems to be radiating from the mist, as well as colliding with the coldness of the night itself.
The sound of leafs suddenly rattling echoes into his ears as he turns his head around, now facing towards where he thought he heard the sound coming from...
Nothing...
Shaking, swallowing his breath, the young business man slowly takes a few steps away, his eyes darting to the left, and back to the right as quickly as possible, trying to find out who or what is there, stalking him like he is nothing more then some one’s prey,
“Who... Who’s there?” he shouts out loud, hoping for an answer that never comes, only the wind that blows past him with a haunting sound, almost like it is warning him to get out of there, to run away and fast, but sadly doesn’t gets answered or reacted to.
Suddenly, more leafs starts to ruffle and rattling, even snapping as it seems to be running closer towards the business guy, his eyes opened fully and his sweating even wetting his own suit, he sees a dark gestalt running closer towards him in the thickness of the mist; his legs shaking, he drops his briefcase as he makes a run for it, only to see the blackish shadow running next to him, running past him as it disappears into the mist again.
Slowly stopping his paced running, he bends through his legs and rests his hands on top of his kneecaps, trying to catch his breath as a swishing or swirling sound suddenly catches his ears.
Looking a bit up, he quickly tries to run again only to get caught and smacked hard to the ground, causing his mobile cell phone to fall out of his front pocket and to be opened,
“No... NOOOOOOOOOAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHH!” he screams helplessly as he gets dragged into the mist, his screaming quickly dies out as silence returns into the park, with the mist slowly dissolving away as a clawed, blackish gray foot steps onto the opened cell phone, smashing it completely...
===
The morning sun, the midday sun of the afternoon is upon us, as the dying sound of sirens echoes into the skies, fading away with the ever changing wind while the trees are flashing on and off with bluish lights, coming from the many sirens that belongs to the cars and vans of the police and paramedics.
Standing around, some of the police officers watches at how a skin over bone body is being placed into a black colored body bag, as well as getting loaded onto the stretcher and placed into the ambulance,
“Ngui Yin Jag, 29 year old business man” 1 of the officers reads the info from the ID card that was with the victim,
“He has a wife and child, what’s the cause of death?”
“Apparently his body fluids has been drained from him, but we can’t find any kind of indication on how it happened” 1 of the paramedics answers the police officer who as well is looking with a puzzled look on his face, the officer shakes his head in disbelieve as he walks back towards the rest of his team, watching towards the scene of the crime, some white charcoal having been used to draw out the lining on how the dead man was found, in what can be identified as a cocoon, even some webbing lying around here and there,
“And that is the way you’ve found him?”
“Yes sir, after finding the strange cocoon, I’ve noticed some hole and opened it, only to see his face like a mummy” a young, female runner explains in a shock, some tears forming in her eyes cause of the fear, the second officer notes it all down as he gives her a warm smile,
“Well thank you for your co-operation”
“Hey Gareth!?” the first officer shouts out towards the second officer, listening towards the name of Gareth,
“You’ve found out anything?”
“Well, this is not the work of the Unborn or from the GERM kaijins; I can say that much lah” Gareth answers as his colleague nods,
“And to think that after the Unborn War and the whole GERM threat, Singapore would be a save place to live...”
“Ah calm down lah, come on, let’s get some coffee, my treat” his colleague answers as he pats Gareth’s shoulder, the young police officer nods while not being able to believe that a new treat has come to do god knows what towards their fine community, the duo walks back towards the car while the other officers are still busy with gathering evidence, Gareth suddenly notices a figure in the corner of his eyes, hiding behind a rather thick tree, he addresses his colleague,
“You know, why don’t you go ahead. I’ll come in later”
“Okay lah, I’ll keep your seat warm then” the first officer chuckles after saying that as he boards the car, driving away from the place.
Having smiled quickly, Gareth walks over towards the tree, taking caution into not being noticed at all,
“Basil...” he suddenly calls out,
“...Come out of hiding”
“How did you guessed that it was I?” the young man asks Gareth as he walks from behind the tree into view, having his arms crossed while watching,
“Just a hunch, but I am surprised that you are back here again, I thought that you where wandering the world”
“Can’t ignore the feeling of home sick” Basil replies dryly, causing Gareth to shake his head a bit in disbelieve,
“Out of all the strangest things, you remain the strangest of them all lah”
“What do you want...?” Basil asks, not being in the mood for humor at the moment,
“Well since you are here, I was kind of hoping if you know who or what attacked that guy”
“No idea, it is not an Unborn, and all the remaining GERM infected people has been cured” Basil answers after shrugging his shoulders a bit,
“But whatever the thing is, I can handle it”
“Still the same old Basil, aren’t you?” Gareth jokingly says, only to see Basil frown upon turning his back, walking away from the place as the local TV news reporters come towards the scene of the crime...
===
Having just taken a nice, refreshing hot shower, Masahiro enters the living room of his apartment while only wearing a white towel around his waist, having dried himself of as mostly as possible while some drops of water remain to be on his tanned chest and skin, his dark brown to near black hair being wet and uncurled, not having taken the time to comb his hair neatly as he walks towards the kitchen.
Grabbing a glass of milk, the TV blares in the background, playing music from KISS on a channel, only to have it ended abruptly by the news,
“This is Singapore News Report” the TV blares it out loudly, causing Masahiro to look directly into the living room, watching the news,
“Welcome, I am Jhun Ghii Jasq; a tragedy has awakened within our fair city” the news anchor reports from the TV with a stern look on his face; this causes a frown to appear upon Masahiro’s face while taking a sip of his milk, he continues watching the news,
“We move over towards our woman at the scene, Linda”
“Thank you Jhun” Linda says towards the news anchor with the aid of her microphone, upon focusing her attention towards the crime scene,
“As you can see here, a strange murder has happened here in our city” she says while moving a bit aside, allowing the camera man to film everything that has happened at the scene of the crime, how the remaining police officers and investigators are busy gathering evidence, as well as making preparations on leaving the place; Linda addresses one of the officers,
“Sir, can you give the viewers a statement on what happened here?”
Looking into the camera, the police officer suddenly raises his hand in front of the lens, either annoyed or angered; he addresses the news report team,
“No questions and no interviews...”
“Linda... Linda?!” Jhun calls through his ear microphone before paying attention towards the camera, a look of worry washes over his face,
“It seems that we are suffering from some technical difficulti...”
Pressing the off switch on the remote controller, Masahiro stands there, his gaze sort of fixed at the TV while his mind is progressing the information, as well as memorizing the scene,
“Hmmm...” he mumbles while placing a finger under his chin, thinking it all over and over and over inside his own mind, his hand suddenly reaches out towards the phone that lies on the kitchen counter, he dials a number...
===
The hot water runs over her naked form, as the droplets caresses her double C-cup breasts lightly, with her darkened nipples stiffening and turning rock hard cause of the water running past and over them, it causes a slight moan to escape from the young woman’s lips.
Picking up a piece of soap, she lathers her hands as she rubs her hands over her arms and shoulders, allowing the foamy substance of the soap to mix and wash away with the running water from the shower head, the young woman slowly moves her hands over her breasts, lathering and caressing the ‘twins’ lightly, which causes shudders to race through her entire body.
Her eyes still closed, she tries not to scream as her hands continue to cup her breasts, accidentally not paying to much attention towards her nipples as the ringing of the phone suddenly catches her ears, she immediately bolt her eyes open as she looks down towards her hands,
“Ah fuck, not now...” she mutters annoyed as she lets the water of the shower wash away the soap from her shoulders and breasts; she picks up a hanging towel after turning the shower off and puts the towel up around her, she heads out of the bathroom and immediately into the living room, where the phone is ringing,
“Always when I am enjoying a nice hot shower” she says towards herself annoyed like a bat out of hell upon picking the phone up and pressing the green button, she presses the phone against her ears,
“Hello?”
“Hey Chun Li, Masahiro here” the voice on the other end of the line answer, Chun Li immediately breaths out her held back air from her lungs in a rather annoyed fashion,
“Hey Masa; why the sudden call?”
“Yeah, hey have you just checked the news or anything?”
“No I have not, was taking a shower before you rang me”
“Gomen né”
“Daijoubu” Chun Li replies while rubbing some of the water from her eyes, water that drips from her long black hair, she continues the conversation with her co-worker,
“Anyways, what about it?”
“Hai, there was something on the news about a monster attack and I was wondering if you knew if anything like that had ever happened before here or something?”
“Where were you hiding, under a rock?” Chun Li answers with a raised voice, only to hear Masahiro laughing on the other end; she as well can’t help but to chuckle a bit,
“Well, I remember some time ago having witnessed a humanoid phoenix fighting against 2 insect looking humanoids while hiding behind a tree after shopping, but why do you ask?”
“No reason, just wondering if it’s a common thing here in Singapore or not” Masahiro answers on the other side of the line, this causes Chun Li to laugh in a silly matter,
“You really have been hiding under a rock for the last few years haven’t you?”
“I normally never really pay attention to the news, so yeah guess I’ve been hiding alright, hey thanks Chun. See you at school Monday morning”
“Yeah, you take care lah, ciao”
“Bye” as with it, the line turns dead as Chun Li looks at the phone with a slight smile,
“Silly Masahiro” she whispers while placing the phone down and returning back towards the shower...
===
The night has settled in once more, a curfew has been called for the night by the police cause of the strange event that happened the other night before, with the calling sounds of the owls being the only sound audible in the park... Next to the footsteps of high heels.
Walking through the park, a young woman who appears to be close to her mid twenties is seen, wearing a knee length skirt and a whitish blue blouse that is covered with a dark blue coat, the same color as her skirt while wearing black colored women boots with 3 inch long heels, hiding her white socks while a look of fear is upon her face as she watches how a sudden mist seems to be forming within the park, seemingly happening from out of nowhere...
“You certain that this plan will work, officer Lim?”
“Positive lah” Gareth answers with a smile on his face and with confidence in his voice towards a fellow officer while hiding behind the trees, watching the scene secretly as their decoy continues walking through the upcoming fog,
“Fools...” the young woman mutters while walking further into the thickening mist, she suddenly sees a pair of glowing eyes in the distance, along with a shadow of a full grown man, they both stop midway and wait,
“Oi, Gareth” Gareth’s partner, Lô, calls out from his hiding spot,
“You see what’s going on?”
“Just a little bit, looks like Qin Yi is waiting for something to happen or so”
“...You’re kidding right?” Lô asks on which Gareth shakes his head no, the round up police officers all return watching towards the scene of the crime.
Staring at each other with patience, Qin Yi slowly gives an unseen nod to the man standing in front of her while shifting her eyes towards the left, the man’s glowing eyes does the same although his look towards the right, followed with an unseen nod as well as he suddenly slams his arm past Qin Yi, barely missing her while letting it shown as if he truly hits her, she falls to the ground in alarm and screams her lungs out in fright,
“That’s the signal!” one of the other officers calls out as they all come out of hiding, Glocks out they fire round after round of bullets against the mysterious man, who seemingly gets hit only to duck and roll out of the attack, he suddenly jumps up and disappears, this causes the police officers to look up and around in confusion,
“...The hell?”
“Where did he go?” some of them are wondering while Gareth was checking if Qin Yi is alright or not, unaware of a small glow in her eyes, he addresses the rest,
“Alright you all, stay on your guard, that thing can be anywhere”
“Hai!” the rest reply while keeping their gun either close to their chest, or pointing it towards the ground, all are watching with caution in their eyes, trying to find whatever it is they are searching for.
A sound suddenly ruffles past them as a few of them turn towards the direction the sound came from and opened fire, only hitting nothing,
“Fuck Christ man... How can we shoot against something we can’t see lah?” one of them shouts towards Gareth who as well is looking, or scanning, around as he suddenly shoots above his head, a pained grunt echoes afterwards with the mysterious person falling to the ground, seemingly dead.
Shocked, they all slowly gather around the mysterious man, wondering if he is the one who committed the crime that previous night or not,
“Is this him?”
“No idea lah... No idea”
Suddenly, as if on cue, the mysterious man open his eyes like a flash, giving out a light gray which is also a near silver glow; he jumps out and over the group like a spider upon landing gracefully on the ground with his feet, he glares towards the police officers with a sickening smile on his face,
“Halt, you are under arrest!” Lô calls out only to get webbing shot against his face, the webbing coming out of the man’s mouth while Lô screams it out in pain for the web covering his face acts as an acid as well, he trashes on the ground like crazy and screaming his lungs out while all the while his body slowly dries up,
“LÔ!” Gareth shouts shocked before taking aim against the person, only to witness the guy violently shaking his body; as four spider legs juts out of his back with some slime covering it, his left hand suddenly burst open as a blackish brown colored sack appears in place with his right hand shredding apart as well, revealing eight long fingers that looks eerily a lot like the legs of a spider. Laughing in a strange tongue, the clothes of the stranger burst and shred apart as a brownish black body reveals itself underneath, looking like some sort of Titan however also looking more like a spider then a human, his head resembling the head of a spider all the way towards the venom tusks... All the police officers immediately back away while keeping aim with their guns,
“Shit Gareth... What IS that thing?”
“I... I don’t know lah” Gareth mutters an answer, followed by opening fire against the unknown kaijin, the bullets however repel off of the beast’s skin as it laughs in a spider like roar, followed by shooting out strings of webbing from the sack or ‘spider-ass’ that functions as his left hand, tying up several of the Officers at the scene into cocoons, with Gareth and a few others having jump-rolled out of the way in the nick of time,
“Kiisama... hey you guys, fall back!” Gareth shouts towards the remaining police officers while discarding his Glock away, this confuses the rest,
“But... But we can’t leave you here”
“Fuck man, I gave you all an order... The plan has backfired; now get your asses out of here!” Gareth shouts, sounding completely pissed off as the rest give a frighten nod and runs away for safety; Gareth focuses upon the kaijin,
“I have no idea what you are, but if you want to destroy Singapore, then you’ll have to go through me!” Gareth shouts as he stretches both his hands out, one over the other with the thumb and last two fingers bent in with on response a white flash that crawls over his waist, solidifying into a strange looking belt with a white gem in place which is shining in full strength,
“HENSHIN!” Gareth shouts out loud as on response, the white gem started to glow and shine in a heavenly light, the beast notices it as it suddenly shoots out string after string off webbing against the belt, blocking out the light as instead of the usual white wings, white electricity charges over Gareth’s body, resulting in knocking him against a nearby tree, he slams with his back against the bark hard upon dropping onto the ground with his body, he slowly struggles back up in pain,
“Nan... Nandayo?” he asks himself in shock as he looks towards his belt, seeing how the webbing is covering his belt’s entire gem, strangely canceling out his transformation,
“Shimatta...”
Roaring, the spider kaijin runs towards the downed Gareth, with his eight fingered right claw out front, ready to shred him into tiny pieces, Gareth immediately tries to get rid of the webbing but to no avail, with the spider kaijin standing above him, with its right claw high in the air, ready to slam down!
===
Growling a spider like sound coming from deep within its chest, the spider kaijin slams halfway down only to move back his arm and throw out, intending to impale Gareth straight through the belt!
Suddenly, as if almost on cue, energy arrows are shot against the spider kaijin as they hit it directly in the chest, causing the beast to stand straight and looking around, confused and dazzled while some smoke rises off of its chest it scans around with its eight eyes, trying to find its attacker, but finds no one.
Glaring towards the sides, the spider kaijin suddenly dodges to the left as he rolls over the ground, having barely missed another few energized arrow shots; the beast suddenly shoots out webbing from its left ‘hand’, shooting up into a tree and followed by pulling its arm back, causing an orange colored, armored looking humanoid to fall or jump out of the trees with its arms wrapped shut by the webbing while dropping a crossbow to the ground.
Landing, rolling over the wet grass, the armored humanoid quickly manages to stand up as it looks towards the spider kaijin, he suddenly leaps towards the beast with an unknown strength as he plants both his feet against the spider kaijin’s chest, both kicking the beast as well as launching him off from him and somersaulting in midair upon landing upon his feet, glaring towards the kicked down beast who suddenly lifts itself up and jumps into the skies with the aid of its four spider legs on its back; the armored fighter quickly rolls over the ground and rolls over the side of his weapon, he manages to cut the webbing apart with the spider kaijin heading towards him from the air, with the eight spider leg like fingers joining together into a single long spike onto which the humanoid warrior quickly grabs and aims the crossbow against the beast, firing an energy arrow right into its chest with a few sparks erupting.
Watching in awestruck, Gareth is at a lost of words while watching the sudden battle as his brains finally registers it all,
“Arch...” Gareth mutters upon recognizing the orange colored fighter, being the ancient Masked Rider Arch, or Basil as he is known by him and Meng Yeow.
Looking down towards the beast, Arch remains calm but also glaring towards the new foe, he approaches the beast slow and calm while moving the handle of his weapon down which causes the rest of the crossbow to split in half with one side swinging a full 180 degree swing downwards, clicking under the handle while the bladed parts of the crossbow flips up, changing the weapon into a sort of double sided long dagger styled weapon,
“A trick I picked up during my travels... Now, what are you!” Arch demands as he walks towards the downed spider beast, the latter slowly moves its head up with its eight eyes staring coldly, almost as if it tries to penetrate Arch’s free will or soul, the beast slowly stands back up as if the attack didn’t even hurt him at all, this comes as a surprise towards the orange shaded Rider.
Wiping the dust of the impact off of its body, the spider kaijin rolls his shoulders up and down, almost as if it is laughing or mocking Arch, causing the latter to slowly lose his cooling as the beast walks closer towards Arch while keeping his right claw close towards his face,
“Ghe-in” Spider answers in a hollow voice, sounding empty without any trace of emotion in it as the beast suddenly sprints towards Arch, who retaliates by running towards the unknown kaijin as well with his double edged blade positioned close to his right side, he swings out as the kaijin rolls under the attack, followed by sweeping its legs around like a Capoeira fighter and hits Arch in the back which causes the latter to tumble a bit forward before finding his balance once more, he turns his head towards the monster who spins around upon back flipping upon its misshaped feet.
Glaring at each other from the distance, Arch fully spins around and charges against the beast with swiping his weapon in a horizontal slash, followed by a fast roundhouse kick with the Spider taking a full blow to the chest and the head, kicked down only to roll over the ground and jumping up into the air, Arch slowly crouches through his legs while keeping his blade close to the ground, biding his time with Spider crashing down towards him with both legs out, ready for a kick.
Smirking behind his mask, Arch hurls his blade like a boomerang against the beast, once again hitting it in the chest as small sparks erupt from the Spider’s chest, along with a thin greenish blue line slowly crawling before disappearing, it smacks down upon the ground but gets up once more, being a bit dizzy cause of the sudden attack as it tries to find its balance with the aid of its four spider legs upon its back.
Crouching, keeping a fixed eye upon the kaijin, Arch leaps into the air and somersaults in midair as he comes crashing down towards Spider, his right fist close to his side which has ignited into flames, he lunges his fist out against Spider’s chest!
Eyes shocked, Arch suddenly gets send back flying by an unknown force as traces of fire is visible upon his chest armor, shaped like his rider punch attack, he smashes with his back against the tree hard, close to breaking his back as Spider laughs like a maniac and walks closer towards the downed Rider, his eight fingered claw coming together to form some sort of long spike which it keeps close towards its face, Spider is now only mere steps away from Arch, the latter slowly smirks behind his mask while watching at how Spider is coming closer, the latter slowly pulls its right arm back upon sending it out front, close to impaling Arch!
“Arch KICK!” Arch suddenly shouts as he jumps out of the way from the attack, followed by somersaulting and slamming his right foot down, quickly followed by left and then by right and left, performing a bicycle kick against the kaijin, the latter tries to block the attack but to no avail as Arch smacks his left foot into its side, sending the beast flying a few yards and falls down onto the ground, causing a sudden explosion to rise with Arch turning around, his back facing the explosion.
Looking up, Gareth smiles after having seen Arch performing his own Rider Kick before looking around the area, the smile disappears as a look of sadness and anger appears upon his face, seeing a lot of the brave Officers being killed by the beast, even his partner Lô, how he is going to explain it towards their families, he doesn’t know.
Suddenly, his ears perk up as his eyes jolt towards where he thought he heard movement, only for his eyes to grow large as he quickly looks towards where Arch is standing,
“Basil!” Gareth shouts,
“Behind y...” but his mouth is suddenly covered by white webbing as Spider charges past Gareth, knocking him down to the ground which causes some damage towards his belt, Arch slowly turns around completely, only to get shocked at Spider standing in front of him with his arm jolted out, a spike coming out of Arch’s back, just around the waist while Arch slowly looks down; his eyes widen as sweat starts to run over his face, seeing how Spider’s lance like spike is impaled through his gem!
Coughing and shaking, Arch loses the strength in his legs as he drops onto his knees, sliding off of the spike as he drops to the ground via his back, a dark glow washes over his body as the armor disappears, leaving a young man behind with sweat running over his face and breathing quickly; shards of a gem that’s lying on the ground has strangely changed into a heart cut into pieces with black blood forming a small puddle around the severed heart, and around the young man’s body...
The young man, named Basil, is dying...
Smirking at its handy work, the spider kaijin turns around in a slow and menacing way, facing Gareth as his next victim, the latter having managed to peel off the webbing from his mouth while being in a state of shock, seeing Basil lying on the ground, more dead then alive; Gareth suddenly gets picked up by his throat, struggling to get lose from Spider’s inhuman strength with the four spider legs on its back moving, aiming directly against Gareth’s limbs, the young police officer looks in horror.
===
Glaring with an invisible smile, the kaijin enjoys the look of fear readable upon Gareth’s face while retracting the four spider legs on its back,
“WHAT ARE YOU?” Gareth manages to shout, only to see Spider shaking its misshaped head, it stretches its right arm out completely with his grip becoming tighter and tighter, trying to choke the young officer from whom the eyes are slowly rolling back into his head.

Battle theme: 10,000 Fists (performed by Disturbed)

Smiling, Spider suddenly launches its four spider legs directly against Gareth’s arms and legs only to stop at just a millimeter away from the limbs; a strange wind blows past them which causes Spider to look towards the right, watching through the thick mist as it sees a pair of big, blood red/near crimson colored bug eyes lighting up and glaring against it, the beast roars angered at the mysterious being in the mist,
“Ghaàshí!” Spider roars angered as it suddenly sees a small white light shining fiercely at the being’s waist, and also seeing a what appears to be a sort of long red scarf ‘dancing’ with the wind; Spider drops Gareth to the ground while having its full attention at the newcomer, Gareth as well seeing the mysterious being,
“...Nan... Nandayo... Nani?” Gareth questions in confusion, with Spider growling it out loud like a maniac into the skies, the unknown being slowly walks out of the mist and into view, causing Gareth’s mouth to drop down in shock,
“Not possible... Masked... Rider?”
Hearing those words, the mysterious Rider nods his head as his armor comes into full view, wearing a black under suit while having a platinum white colored chest armor shaped in the same way as the chest armor of Spartan soldiers, with blue lining and decorations with a sapphire colored gem in the centre that is shaped like the tail of a snake curving and ending with three circles on the place the head should be, making the gem look like a sort of curling sword, being trapped in a blue circle; simple white shoulder armor with the same sword design in a blue color, shaped in the same form as Kamen Rider The First Ichigo’s shoulder armor.
Upon his knees, white kneepads with the same blue sword design as on the chest and shoulder armor being engraved on it while having golden ring like guards going just above his ankles; while his arm guards are white with blue and gold outlining and the same sword image engraved.
A black helmet is placed around his head with a silverish mouth guard that has some blue on the sides, followed by blood red bug eyes that almost looks like it are actually colored in a crimson shade; two golden antennas travel from between the mouth guard and eyes over his helmet in a rather curved fashion, a white line ending in a triangle is visible just in between while a white and blue outer lining is visible just behind the eyes and around the area of the helmet’s neck.
A long red scarf is wrapped around his neck while it is flowing freely cause of the wind, the mysterious Rider walks closer towards them.
Growling angered, Spider charges with a dark, beastly roar, charging into the attack as it slams forward with its left arm, only to meet a quick push kick against the chest, the sheer force of the sudden kick alone knocks the beast back onto the ground, the unknown Rider takes on a basic Muay Thai fighting stance, with his fists close to his helmet.
Shaking its misshaped head, Spider growls in anger at the sudden attack from his enemy, the beast quickly crawls back upon its misshaped feet as it charges into the attack again, lashing out with its right arm in a wild slam, only for his attack to get blocked by the unknown Rider’s left arm, followed by moving his right hip forward and slamming his right fist straight into the kaijin’s face, performing a strong right cross! He quickly follows with a left hook towards Spider’s face from the side, punching the beast back to the ground.
Rolling over the dirt, Spider looks up with shaking eyes as hatred grows deep within its core, not even believing how a weak looking Rider can perform devastating attacks against it like that, and yet remaining so calm in the situation; Spider slams its hands upon the soil upon jumping up into the trees again, disappearing.
Looking up, the new Rider slowly takes on his fight pose while slowly making steps around, his head looking into all directions to see where the kaijin will strike; he continues to walk in a close circle ever so slowly.
Unknowingly, Spider jumps down from up above the trees in stealth, landing nimbly behind the Rider as it strikes with its right claw, Gareth sees it happening,
“Look out... BEHIND YOU!” he shouts, but to no avail as Spider grabs the Rider by the scarf, tightening and pulling close to him, strangling the Rider who grabs towards his collar, trying not to let the fabric of the scarf cut off his oxygen, the Spider roars a beastly laughter, unaware of the Rider shifting his left foot at an angle.
Looking through the corner of his bug eye, the Rider spins upon his left foot, and slams his right shin straight into Spider’s abdominals, the Thai Swing kick forces Spider to let go of the scarf upon dropping onto its knees and grabs his abdominals with its misshaped hands, cringing in pain, only to meet a swift knee into its face!
Falling upon it’s back, Spider looks up towards the skies as the pain races through every nerve ending in its body, burning like the raging fires from hell the beast forces its body to rise again, unaware of white blood slowly sipping through a wound on his torso, the monster growls once again as it shoots webbing from its left pouch, only to see the Rider side stepping and grabbing the webbing; the Rider pulls as it literally reel the kaijin in like a caught fish, only to execute a fast left jab, followed by the right cross and the left hook upon slamming his right fist directly under the beast’s chin, performing an uppercut as he suddenly strikes down with his right elbow as if it is a sword, slamming the beast down to the ground again with this time, the spider kaijin lying on the ground emotionless.
Turning his back towards the beast, the new Rider walks away from the scene, unaware of Spider’s ‘fingers’ moving up and down again, the beast’s eyes shot open wide as it stands back up again and charges into the attack again, only to see the Rider turning around and running towards it as well!
Running, the Rider suddenly makes a jump towards Spider as he slams both his knees into Spider’s chest, followed by smashing his right elbow down upon Spider’s head, crashing its skull with an earth shattering blow!
Staggering back, white blood drips from all of its eyes as Spider looks up towards the Rider, the latter glaring down at it as the Rider suddenly crouches through his knees with his antennas flipping forward, almost standing straight while the gem on his chest shines a deep blue and white color, as the symbol of the Material Forge appears below both his feet as well as Spider’s feet, trapping the beast in place while the Rider’s feet are blazing in blue and white flames; he charges into the assault.
Running with all his might, the Rider performs a fast push kick against Spider’s chest, causing the beast to be completely paralyzed as all that it can do now is look at horror,
“TOH!” the Rider calls out as he launches himself with his free, left foot while rotating his right foot that is still pushing against Spider’s chest; he performs a powerful aerial roundhouse kick, kicking the flaming white foot directly into Spider’s face! The latter screaming it out in pain as the blue and white flames races over its body, creating what appears to be a burning T forming all over its body; Spider screams it out in pain upon dropping to the ground, it’s body exploding in white and blue flames as an ashed body is left behind.

Looking down, the Rider slowly looks towards the dying body of Basil; he slowly makes his way towards the latter while passing the still shocked and confused Gareth, Gareth continues to stare towards the newcomer before seeing him walking towards Basil,
“Wait... WAIT!” Gareth shouts as he tries to stand back up again, only to witness the Rider ignoring him and kneeling down in front of the dying Basil, he slowly picks the young half breed up in his arms...

“Just who is that Rider?” Gareth wonders while sitting in his room, confused as hell while waiting for his belt.
“I do not know, if he is friend or foe” Basil’s voice speak as a ghost while the new Rider is fighting against the same spider kaijin, who strangely has turned into a new form.
“Apparently he needs a heart transplant, or else he’ll die!” a doctor’s voice says towards somebody, while the unknown Rider performs his two-for-one Rider kick...
Seigi no Tamashii!

The fire is rising, the flames are burning everything in there path, consuming the trees of the forest like a tidal wave of madness, animals all run away in terror and fright, along with young children and almost full grown adults outrunning the flames, wearing nothing else but a hospital robe.
The dark smoke that rises above the forest, blocks out the rays of the suns, showing the darkness and something shocking...

Spirit #01: De Ontwaking (The Awakening)
===
The sun is shining through the darkened rain clouds, lifting away another rainy day that has been plaguing the city for some unknown time now.
At the local schools that are around the place, many children ran out from the schools, happy that the weekend is about to start once they get home by either walking or taking the bus.
“I am telling you, the SPD Shadow Power Ranger is better then the Black DT Power Ranger” one of the kids in one of the many groups, tells towards his friends, apparently being in some sort of discussion on who the best Power Ranger is, the other kid buts his head into the convoy as well,
“You’re kidding lah, Anubis Cruger isn’t the best” he said, “...And neither is Tommy... Conner is the best!” the kid finishes as the others in the group groans hard, not believing at how their friend can like Conner.
The streets are crowded; the traffic is heavy, as people are rushing to either get home, or towards their jobs which starts at that time of hour; that or needs to go shopping for groceries.
It is a true rush hour, even at the streets where people seems to be flying from one point to another, all acting like headless chickens and only paying time at how short amount of time they all seem to have.
Busy, rushing, even talking into their mobile phones, they all walk which almost looks like running or speed walking, passing by several people who are walking around the streets carrying donation cans,
“Sir, can you...” one of them calls out towards a passing by business man, being dressed in casual clothes and a red colored waist coat with the Stop Aids Now logo printed on it,
“...spare some money for the Aids foundation please?” but the business man continues to walk away, seemingly ignoring or pretending not to have heard him,
“Asshole...” the donations man mutters annoyed under his breath, only to say something nobody can hear, with his eyes flashing a different color.
===
Somewhere else however, somewhere more towards the south of Singapore, the bell rings for a final time, indicating that it is the end of a work day for all the teachers of the local High School.
Walking around the building, heading towards the parking lot where cars and a bike are parked, is a young man with short curled, dark brown/near black hair and brown eyes while having a tanned body which seems to be covered mostly by a white business shirt and leather trousers, while having a back pack resting on his back,
“Masahiro... Masahiro...” a woman’s voice calls out towards the young man, who slowly stops in his tracks and looks over his shoulder, seeing a young woman, probably around the age of 23 with long black hair that seems to rest midway over her back, high heels and a knee length skirt of a dark grayish color are the only things that seems to be covering up her legs while her torso is covered by a bluish business shirt and a dark grayish business coat.
His eyes travels up, watching how the young woman comes to a slow halt, her long legs being sleek and yet muscular, screaming feminine like a thunderstorm, her body having the perfect hourglass shape as her breasts are in 1 line with her hips, he watches how she pants the air out and back into her lungs, through her small lips, as well as having a cute little nose and eyes as blue as sapphire gemstones, which are shining a clear blue with the sunset,
“Masahiro-san... Wait”
“Chun Li-chan,” Masahiro calls out with a friendly smile, along with a Thai accent, towards the woman who’s still panting a bit before fully getting her breath back,
“What do I owe the pleasure?”
“Masa...” Chun Li began, “...You’ve forgotten to give your classes their homework assignment again”
Laughing, Masahiro can’t help it but to disagree with his fellow teacher and close friend, as he places one of his hands on top of her shoulder, looking deeply into her eyes,
“Chun Li, as my old Sensei once told me, there are times to train; and times to have fun”
“Meaning what?” Chun Li asks him, having a rather confused but also a serious frown on her face, this causes Masahiro to laugh again,
“Its meaning is plain simple,” he began, “let the kids study when the time calls for it,”
Throwing his arms out quickly, he grabs Chun Li around the waist, pulling her a little bit closer towards him, Chun Li squeals in surprise at the strength of her fellow teacher and friend,
“And let them have fun so that their minds are focused again”
“O... Okay, I think I get it now lah” Chun Li answers after having to regain her breath and bearings, as she slowly and gently gets put down on the ground by Masahiro, who slowly removes his arms from around her waist, this causes Chun Li to place her hands against her hips, while looking a bit angered before bursting in a quick chuckle,
“You got me there lah, but still your teaching is not like we do”
“Perhaps that’s why I’ve been hired, cause I am different” he answers her as he walks back towards the bike, a specially build chopper from the OCC crew all the way from New York, USA, the bike being build in the fashion of a Black Widow spider colored mostly black with some red.
Shaking her head, Chun Li watches at how Masahiro mounts the bike, igniting the ignition as the engine roars to life; crossing her arms, she walks closer towards the guy,
“So, you have any plans for the weekend?”
“I have no plans for the weekend, save for checking those tests” Chun Li answers with a friendly smile, somehow knowing that he’s trying to ask her out on a date.
Lowering his eyes a bit, he slightly turns his head away in a defeated manner,
“I see, alright. This is because of my accent?”
“Maybe, maybe not” Chun Li replies, keeping up a fake smile to hide the fact that she is lying towards the young man,
“Hey, have a nice weekend okay lah?”
“Yeah, you as well, ciao” Masahiro replies as he kicks up the stand of his bike, revving up the engine a bit more as he speeds out of the parking lot and away from the school terrain, leaving the woman behind who waves him a good bye...
===
The skies has turned as dark as coal, followed closely with the sheer coldness of the nights with the streets lights having been turned on and hardly anybody awake is walking the streets except for beggars, dogs and alley cats, all except for 1 guy dressed in a black business clothing who is walking away from a rather big office building,
“Stupid boss for making me work overtime” the same business man from earlier that talks towards himself annoyed while holding his briefcase close to his chest, he makes his way back home by foot, walking through the park.
High up in the charcoaled skies, the full moon tries desperately to illuminate the park below with its shine, sadly the trees and the street lights are blocking it all, causing a sudden mist to show from out of nowhere to rise from the ground, blocking out the view ahead, as well as causing the street lights to flicker upon falling out, this causes the business man to look around him confused as he walks further through the park, and thus through the strange thick mist,
“Nani?” (“What?”) He whispers towards himself as his eyes continues to dart from left to right, trying to see something or somebody for that matter, he holds his briefcase closer towards his chest as he starts walking slower, the sweat slowly starts to poor from his face cause of the strange heat that seems to be radiating from the mist, as well as colliding with the coldness of the night itself.
The sound of leafs suddenly rattling echoes into his ears as he turns his head around, now facing towards where he thought he heard the sound coming from...
Nothing...
Shaking, swallowing his breath, the young business man slowly takes a few steps away, his eyes darting to the left, and back to the right as quickly as possible, trying to find out who or what is there, stalking him like he is nothing more then some one’s prey,
“Who... Who’s there?” he shouts out loud, hoping for an answer that never comes, only the wind that blows past him with a haunting sound, almost like it is warning him to get out of there, to run away and fast, but sadly doesn’t gets answered or reacted to.
Suddenly, more leafs starts to ruffle and rattling, even snapping as it seems to be running closer towards the business guy, his eyes opened fully and his sweating even wetting his own suit, he sees a dark gestalt running closer towards him in the thickness of the mist; his legs shaking, he drops his briefcase as he makes a run for it, only to see the blackish shadow running next to him, running past him as it disappears into the mist again.
Slowly stopping his paced running, he bends through his legs and rests his hands on top of his kneecaps, trying to catch his breath as a swishing or swirling sound suddenly catches his ears.
Looking a bit up, he quickly tries to run again only to get caught and smacked hard to the ground, causing his mobile cell phone to fall out of his front pocket and to be opened,
“No... NOOOOOOOOOAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHH!” he screams helplessly as he gets dragged into the mist, his screaming quickly dies out as silence returns into the park, with the mist slowly dissolving away as a clawed, blackish gray foot steps onto the opened cell phone, smashing it completely...
===
The morning sun, the midday sun of the afternoon is upon us, as the dying sound of sirens echoes into the skies, fading away with the ever changing wind while the trees are flashing on and off with bluish lights, coming from the many sirens that belongs to the cars and vans of the police and paramedics.
Standing around, some of the police officers watches at how a skin over bone body is being placed into a black colored body bag, as well as getting loaded onto the stretcher and placed into the ambulance,
“Ngui Yin Jag, 29 year old business man” 1 of the officers reads the info from the ID card that was with the victim,
“He has a wife and child, what’s the cause of death?”
“Apparently his body fluids has been drained from him, but we can’t find any kind of indication on how it happened” 1 of the paramedics answers the police officer who as well is looking with a puzzled look on his face, the officer shakes his head in disbelieve as he walks back towards the rest of his team, watching towards the scene of the crime, some white charcoal having been used to draw out the lining on how the dead man was found, in what can be identified as a cocoon, even some webbing lying around here and there,
“And that is the way you’ve found him?”
“Yes sir, after finding the strange cocoon, I’ve noticed some hole and opened it, only to see his face like a mummy” a young, female runner explains in a shock, some tears forming in her eyes cause of the fear, the second officer notes it all down as he gives her a warm smile,
“Well thank you for your co-operation”
“Hey Gareth!?” the first officer shouts out towards the second officer, listening towards the name of Gareth,
“You’ve found out anything?”
“Well, this is not the work of the Unborn or from the GERM kaijins; I can say that much lah” Gareth answers as his colleague nods,
“And to think that after the Unborn War and the whole GERM threat, Singapore would be a save place to live...”
“Ah calm down lah, come on, let’s get some coffee, my treat” his colleague answers as he pats Gareth’s shoulder, the young police officer nods while not being able to believe that a new treat has come to do god knows what towards their fine community, the duo walks back towards the car while the other officers are still busy with gathering evidence, Gareth suddenly notices a figure in the corner of his eyes, hiding behind a rather thick tree, he addresses his colleague,
“You know, why don’t you go ahead. I’ll come in later”
“Okay lah, I’ll keep your seat warm then” the first officer chuckles after saying that as he boards the car, driving away from the place.
Having smiled quickly, Gareth walks over towards the tree, taking caution into not being noticed at all,
“Basil...” he suddenly calls out,
“...Come out of hiding”
“How did you guessed that it was I?” the young man asks Gareth as he walks from behind the tree into view, having his arms crossed while watching,
“Just a hunch, but I am surprised that you are back here again, I thought that you where wandering the world”
“Can’t ignore the feeling of home sick” Basil replies dryly, causing Gareth to shake his head a bit in disbelieve,
“Out of all the strangest things, you remain the strangest of them all lah”
“What do you want...?” Basil asks, not being in the mood for humor at the moment,
“Well since you are here, I was kind of hoping if you know who or what attacked that guy”
“No idea, it is not an Unborn, and all the remaining GERM infected people has been cured” Basil answers after shrugging his shoulders a bit,
“But whatever the thing is, I can handle it”
“Still the same old Basil, aren’t you?” Gareth jokingly says, only to see Basil frown upon turning his back, walking away from the place as the local TV news reporters come towards the scene of the crime...

Having just taken a nice, refreshing hot shower, Masahiro enters the living room of his apartment while only wearing a white towel around his waist, having dried himself of as mostly as possible while some drops of water remain to be on his tanned chest and skin, his dark brown to near black hair being wet and uncurled, not having taken the time to comb his hair neatly as he walks towards the kitchen.
Grabbing a glass of milk, the TV blares in the background, playing music from KISS on a channel, only to have it ended abruptly by the news,
“This is Singapore News Report” the TV blares it out loudly, causing Masahiro to look directly into the living room, watching the news,
“Welcome, I am Jhun Ghii Jasq; a tragedy has awakened within our fair city” the news anchor reports from the TV with a stern look on his face; this causes a frown to appear upon Masahiro’s face while taking a sip of his milk, he continues watching the news,
“We move over towards our woman at the scene, Linda”
“Thank you Jhun” Linda says towards the news anchor with the aid of her microphone, upon focusing her attention towards the crime scene,
“As you can see here, a strange murder has happened here in our city” she says while moving a bit aside, allowing the camera man to film everything that has happened at the scene of the crime, how the remaining police officers and investigators are busy gathering evidence, as well as making preparations on leaving the place; Linda addresses one of the officers,
“Sir, can you give the viewers a statement on what happened here?”
Looking into the camera, the police officer suddenly raises his hand in front of the lens, either annoyed or angered; he addresses the news report team,
“No questions and no interviews...”
“Linda... Linda?!” Jhun calls through his ear microphone before paying attention towards the camera, a look of worry washes over his face,
“It seems that we are suffering from some technical difficulti...”
Pressing the off switch on the remote controller, Masahiro stands there, his gaze sort of fixed at the TV while his mind is progressing the information, as well as memorizing the scene,
“Hmmm...” he mumbles while placing a finger under his chin, thinking it all over and over and over inside his own mind, his hand suddenly reaches out towards the phone that lies on the kitchen counter, he dials a number...
===
The hot water runs over her naked form, as the droplets caresses her double C-cup breasts lightly, with her darkened nipples stiffening and turning rock hard cause of the water running past and over them, it causes a slight moan to escape from the young woman’s lips.
Picking up a piece of soap, she lathers her hands as she rubs her hands over her arms and shoulders, allowing the foamy substance of the soap to mix and wash away with the running water from the shower head, the young woman slowly moves her hands over her breasts, lathering and caressing the ‘twins’ lightly, which causes shudders to race through her entire body.
Her eyes still closed, she tries not to scream as her hands continue to cup her breasts, accidentally not paying to much attention towards her nipples as the ringing of the phone suddenly catches her ears, she immediately bolt her eyes open as she looks down towards her hands,
“Ah fuck, not now...” she mutters annoyed as she lets the water of the shower wash away the soap from her shoulders and breasts; she picks up a hanging towel after turning the shower off and puts the towel up around her, she heads out of the bathroom and immediately into the living room, where the phone is ringing,
“Always when I am enjoying a nice hot shower” she says towards herself annoyed like a bat out of hell upon picking the phone up and pressing the green button, she presses the phone against her ears,
“Hello?”
“Hey Chun Li, Masahiro here” the voice on the other end of the line answer, Chun Li immediately breaths out her held back air from her lungs in a rather annoyed fashion,
“Hey Masa; why the sudden call?”
“Yeah, hey have you just checked the news or anything?”
“No I have not, was taking a shower before you rang me”
“Gomen né”
“Daijoubu” Chun Li replies while rubbing some of the water from her eyes, water that drips from her long black hair, she continues the conversation with her co-worker,
“Anyways, what about it?”
“Hai, there was something on the news about a monster attack and I was wondering if you knew if anything like that had ever happened before here or something?”
“Where were you hiding, under a rock?” Chun Li answers with a raised voice, only to hear Masahiro laughing on the other end; she as well can’t help but to chuckle a bit,
“Well, I remember some time ago having witnessed a humanoid phoenix fighting against 2 insect looking humanoids while hiding behind a tree after shopping, but why do you ask?”
“No reason, just wondering if it’s a common thing here in Singapore or not” Masahiro answers on the other side of the line, this causes Chun Li to laugh in a silly matter,
“You really have been hiding under a rock for the last few years haven’t you?”
“I normally never really pay attention to the news, so yeah guess I’ve been hiding alright, hey thanks Chun. See you at school Monday morning”
“Yeah, you take care lah, ciao”
“Bye” as with it, the line turns dead as Chun Li looks at the phone with a slight smile,
“Silly Masahiro” she whispers while placing the phone down and returning back towards the shower...
===
The night has settled in once more, a curfew has been called for the night by the police cause of the strange event that happened the other night before, with the calling sounds of the owls being the only sound audible in the park... Next to the footsteps of high heels.
Walking through the park, a young woman who appears to be close to her mid twenties is seen, wearing a knee length skirt and a whitish blue blouse that is covered with a dark blue coat, the same color as her skirt while wearing black colored women boots with 3 inch long heels, hiding her white socks while a look of fear is upon her face as she watches how a sudden mist seems to be forming within the park, seemingly happening from out of nowhere...
“You certain that this plan will work, officer Lim?”
“Positive lah” Gareth answers with a smile on his face and with confidence in his voice towards a fellow officer while hiding behind the trees, watching the scene secretly as their decoy continues walking through the upcoming fog,
“Fools...” the young woman mutters while walking further into the thickening mist, she suddenly sees a pair of glowing eyes in the distance, along with a shadow of a full grown man, they both stop midway and wait,
“Oi, Gareth” Gareth’s partner, Lô, calls out from his hiding spot,
“You see what’s going on?”
“Just a little bit, looks like Qin Yi is waiting for something to happen or so”
“...You’re kidding right?” Lô asks on which Gareth shakes his head no, the round up police officers all return watching towards the scene of the crime.
Staring at each other with patience, Qin Yi slowly gives an unseen nod to the man standing in front of her while shifting her eyes towards the left, the man’s glowing eyes does the same although his look towards the right, followed with an unseen nod as well as he suddenly slams his arm past Qin Yi, barely missing her while letting it shown as if he truly hits her, she falls to the ground in alarm and screams her lungs out in fright,
“That’s the signal!” one of the other officers calls out as they all come out of hiding, Glocks out they fire round after round of bullets against the mysterious man, who seemingly gets hit only to duck and roll out of the attack, he suddenly jumps up and disappears, this causes the police officers to look up and around in confusion,
“...The hell?”
“Where did he go?” some of them are wondering while Gareth was checking if Qin Yi is alright or not, unaware of a small glow in her eyes, he addresses the rest,
“Alright you all, stay on your guard, that thing can be anywhere”
“Hai!” the rest reply while keeping their gun either close to their chest, or pointing it towards the ground, all are watching with caution in their eyes, trying to find whatever it is they are searching for.
A sound suddenly ruffles past them as a few of them turn towards the direction the sound came from and opened fire, only hitting nothing,
“Fuck Christ man... How can we shoot against something we can’t see lah?” one of them shouts towards Gareth who as well is looking, or scanning, around as he suddenly shoots above his head, a pained grunt echoes afterwards with the mysterious person falling to the ground, seemingly dead.
Shocked, they all slowly gather around the mysterious man, wondering if he is the one who committed the crime that previous night or not,
“Is this him?”
“No idea lah... No idea”
Suddenly, as if on cue, the mysterious man open his eyes like a flash, giving out a light gray which is also a near silver glow; he jumps out and over the group like a spider upon landing gracefully on the ground with his feet, he glares towards the police officers with a sickening smile on his face,
“Halt, you are under arrest!” Lô calls out only to get webbing shot against his face, the webbing coming out of the man’s mouth while Lô screams it out in pain for the web covering his face acts as an acid as well, he trashes on the ground like crazy and screaming his lungs out while all the while his body slowly dries up,
“LÔ!” Gareth shouts shocked before taking aim against the person, only to witness the guy violently shaking his body; as four spider legs juts out of his back with some slime covering it, his left hand suddenly burst open as a blackish brown colored sack appears in place with his right hand shredding apart as well, revealing eight long fingers that looks eerily a lot like the legs of a spider. Laughing in a strange tongue, the clothes of the stranger burst and shred apart as a brownish black body reveals itself underneath, looking like some sort of Titan however also looking more like a spider then a human, his head resembling the head of a spider all the way towards the venom tusks... All the police officers immediately back away while keeping aim with their guns,
“Shit Gareth... What IS that thing?”
“I... I don’t know lah” Gareth mutters an answer, followed by opening fire against the unknown kaijin, the bullets however repel off of the beast’s skin as it laughs in a spider like roar, followed by shooting out strings of webbing from the sack or ‘spider-ass’ that functions as his left hand, tying up several of the Officers at the scene into cocoons, with Gareth and a few others having jump-rolled out of the way in the nick of time,
“Kiisama... hey you guys, fall back!” Gareth shouts towards the remaining police officers while discarding his Glock away, this confuses the rest,
“But... But we can’t leave you here”
“Fuck man, I gave you all an order... The plan has backfired; now get your asses out of here!” Gareth shouts, sounding completely pissed off as the rest give a frighten nod and runs away for safety; Gareth focuses upon the kaijin,
“I have no idea what you are, but if you want to destroy Singapore, then you’ll have to go through me!” Gareth shouts as he stretches both his hands out, one over the other with the thumb and last two fingers bent in with on response a white flash that crawls over his waist, solidifying into a strange looking belt with a white gem in place which is shining in full strength,
“HENSHIN!” Gareth shouts out loud as on response, the white gem started to glow and shine in a heavenly light, the beast notices it as it suddenly shoots out string after string off webbing against the belt, blocking out the light as instead of the usual white wings, white electricity charges over Gareth’s body, resulting in knocking him against a nearby tree, he slams with his back against the bark hard upon dropping onto the ground with his body, he slowly struggles back up in pain,
“Nan... Nandayo?” he asks himself in shock as he looks towards his belt, seeing how the webbing is covering his belt’s entire gem, strangely canceling out his transformation,
“Shimatta...”
Roaring, the spider kaijin runs towards the downed Gareth, with his eight fingered right claw out front, ready to shred him into tiny pieces, Gareth immediately tries to get rid of the webbing but to no avail, with the spider kaijin standing above him, with its right claw high in the air, ready to slam down!

Growling a spider like sound coming from deep within its chest, the spider kaijin slams halfway down only to move back his arm and throw out, intending to impale Gareth straight through the belt!
Suddenly, as if almost on cue, energy arrows are shot against the spider kaijin as they hit it directly in the chest, causing the beast to stand straight and looking around, confused and dazzled while some smoke rises off of its chest it scans around with its eight eyes, trying to find its attacker, but finds no one.
Glaring towards the sides, the spider kaijin suddenly dodges to the left as he rolls over the ground, having barely missed another few energized arrow shots; the beast suddenly shoots out webbing from its left ‘hand’, shooting up into a tree and followed by pulling its arm back, causing an orange colored, armored looking humanoid to fall or jump out of the trees with its arms wrapped shut by the webbing while dropping a crossbow to the ground.
Landing, rolling over the wet grass, the armored humanoid quickly manages to stand up as it looks towards the spider kaijin, he suddenly leaps towards the beast with an unknown strength as he plants both his feet against the spider kaijin’s chest, both kicking the beast as well as launching him off from him and somersaulting in midair upon landing upon his feet, glaring towards the kicked down beast who suddenly lifts itself up and jumps into the skies with the aid of its four spider legs on its back; the armored fighter quickly rolls over the ground and rolls over the side of his weapon, he manages to cut the webbing apart with the spider kaijin heading towards him from the air, with the eight spider leg like fingers joining together into a single long spike onto which the humanoid warrior quickly grabs and aims the crossbow against the beast, firing an energy arrow right into its chest with a few sparks erupting.
Watching in awestruck, Gareth is at a lost of words while watching the sudden battle as his brains finally registers it all,
“Arch...” Gareth mutters upon recognizing the orange colored fighter, being the ancient Masked Rider Arch, or Basil as he is known by him and Meng Yeow.
Looking down towards the beast, Arch remains calm but also glaring towards the new foe, he approaches the beast slow and calm while moving the handle of his weapon down which causes the rest of the crossbow to split in half with one side swinging a full 180 degree swing downwards, clicking under the handle while the bladed parts of the crossbow flips up, changing the weapon into a sort of double sided long dagger styled weapon,
“A trick I picked up during my travels... Now, what are you!” Arch demands as he walks towards the downed spider beast, the latter slowly moves its head up with its eight eyes staring coldly, almost as if it tries to penetrate Arch’s free will or soul, the beast slowly stands back up as if the attack didn’t even hurt him at all, this comes as a surprise towards the orange shaded Rider.
Wiping the dust of the impact off of its body, the spider kaijin rolls his shoulders up and down, almost as if it is laughing or mocking Arch, causing the latter to slowly lose his cooling as the beast walks closer towards Arch while keeping his right claw close towards his face,
“Ghe-in” Spider answers in a hollow voice, sounding empty without any trace of emotion in it as the beast suddenly sprints towards Arch, who retaliates by running towards the unknown kaijin as well with his double edged blade positioned close to his right side, he swings out as the kaijin rolls under the attack, followed by sweeping its legs around like a Capoeira fighter and hits Arch in the back which causes the latter to tumble a bit forward before finding his balance once more, he turns his head towards the monster who spins around upon back flipping upon its misshaped feet.
Glaring at each other from the distance, Arch fully spins around and charges against the beast with swiping his weapon in a horizontal slash, followed by a fast roundhouse kick with the Spider taking a full blow to the chest and the head, kicked down only to roll over the ground and jumping up into the air, Arch slowly crouches through his legs while keeping his blade close to the ground, biding his time with Spider crashing down towards him with both legs out, ready for a kick.
Smirking behind his mask, Arch hurls his blade like a boomerang against the beast, once again hitting it in the chest as small sparks erupt from the Spider’s chest, along with a thin greenish blue line slowly crawling before disappearing, it smacks down upon the ground but gets up once more, being a bit dizzy cause of the sudden attack as it tries to find its balance with the aid of its four spider legs upon its back.
Crouching, keeping a fixed eye upon the kaijin, Arch leaps into the air and somersaults in midair as he comes crashing down towards Spider, his right fist close to his side which has ignited into flames, he lunges his fist out against Spider’s chest!
Eyes shocked, Arch suddenly gets send back flying by an unknown force as traces of fire is visible upon his chest armor, shaped like his rider punch attack, he smashes with his back against the tree hard, close to breaking his back as Spider laughs like a maniac and walks closer towards the downed Rider, his eight fingered claw coming together to form some sort of long spike which it keeps close towards its face, Spider is now only mere steps away from Arch, the latter slowly smirks behind his mask while watching at how Spider is coming closer, the latter slowly pulls its right arm back upon sending it out front, close to impaling Arch!
“Arch KICK!” Arch suddenly shouts as he jumps out of the way from the attack, followed by somersaulting and slamming his right foot down, quickly followed by left and then by right and left, performing a bicycle kick against the kaijin, the latter tries to block the attack but to no avail as Arch smacks his left foot into its side, sending the beast flying a few yards and falls down onto the ground, causing a sudden explosion to rise with Arch turning around, his back facing the explosion.
Looking up, Gareth smiles after having seen Arch performing his own Rider Kick before looking around the area, the smile disappears as a look of sadness and anger appears upon his face, seeing a lot of the brave Officers being killed by the beast, even his partner Lô, how he is going to explain it towards their families, he doesn’t know.
Suddenly, his ears perk up as his eyes jolt towards where he thought he heard movement, only for his eyes to grow large as he quickly looks towards where Arch is standing,
“Basil!” Gareth shouts,
“Behind y...” but his mouth is suddenly covered by white webbing as Spider charges past Gareth, knocking him down to the ground which causes some damage towards his belt, Arch slowly turns around completely, only to get shocked at Spider standing in front of him with his arm jolted out, a spike coming out of Arch’s back, just around the waist while Arch slowly looks down; his eyes widen as sweat starts to run over his face, seeing how Spider’s lance like spike is impaled through his gem!
Coughing and shaking, Arch loses the strength in his legs as he drops onto his knees, sliding off of the spike as he drops to the ground via his back, a dark glow washes over his body as the armor disappears, leaving a young man behind with sweat running over his face and breathing quickly; shards of a gem that’s lying on the ground has strangely changed into a heart cut into pieces with black blood forming a small puddle around the severed heart, and around the young man’s body...
The young man, named Basil, is dying...
Smirking at its handy work, the spider kaijin turns around in a slow and menacing way, facing Gareth as his next victim, the latter having managed to peel off the webbing from his mouth while being in a state of shock, seeing Basil lying on the ground, more dead then alive; Gareth suddenly gets picked up by his throat, struggling to get lose from Spider’s inhuman strength with the four spider legs on its back moving, aiming directly against Gareth’s limbs, the young police officer looks in horror.
===
Glaring with an invisible smile, the kaijin enjoys the look of fear readable upon Gareth’s face while retracting the four spider legs on its back,
“WHAT ARE YOU?” Gareth manages to shout, only to see Spider shaking its misshaped head, it stretches its right arm out completely with his grip becoming tighter and tighter, trying to choke the young officer from whom the eyes are slowly rolling back into his head.

Smiling, Spider suddenly launches its four spider legs directly against Gareth’s arms and legs only to stop at just a millimeter away from the limbs; a strange wind blows past them which causes Spider to look towards the right, watching through the thick mist as it sees a pair of big, blood red/near crimson colored bug eyes lighting up and glaring against it, the beast roars angered at the mysterious being in the mist,
“Ghaàshí!” Spider roars angered as it suddenly sees a small white light shining fiercely at the being’s waist, and also seeing a what appears to be a sort of long red scarf ‘dancing’ with the wind; Spider drops Gareth to the ground while having its full attention at the newcomer, Gareth as well seeing the mysterious being,
“...Nan... Nandayo... Nani?” Gareth questions in confusion, with Spider growling it out loud like a maniac into the skies, the unknown being slowly walks out of the mist and into view, causing Gareth’s mouth to drop down in shock,
“Not possible... Masked... Rider?”
Hearing those words, the mysterious Rider nods his head as his armor comes into full view, wearing a black under suit while having a platinum white colored chest armor shaped in the same way as the chest armor of Spartan soldiers, with blue lining and decorations with a sapphire colored gem in the centre that is shaped like the tail of a snake curving and ending with three circles on the place the head should be, making the gem look like a sort of curling sword, being trapped in a blue circle; simple white shoulder armor with the same sword design in a blue color, shaped in the same form as Kamen Rider The First Ichigo’s shoulder armor.
Upon his knees, white kneepads with the same blue sword design as on the chest and shoulder armor being engraved on it while having golden ring like guards going just above his ankles; while his arm guards are white with blue and gold outlining and the same sword image engraved.
A black helmet is placed around his head with a silverish mouth guard that has some blue on the sides, followed by blood red bug eyes that almost looks like it are actually colored in a crimson shade; two golden antennas travel from between the mouth guard and eyes over his helmet in a rather curved fashion, a white line ending in a triangle is visible just in between while a white and blue outer lining is visible just behind the eyes and around the area of the helmet’s neck.
A long red scarf is wrapped around his neck while it is flowing freely cause of the wind, the mysterious Rider walks closer towards them.
Growling angered, Spider charges with a dark, beastly roar, charging into the attack as it slams forward with its left arm, only to meet a quick push kick against the chest, the sheer force of the sudden kick alone knocks the beast back onto the ground, the unknown Rider takes on a basic Muay Thai fighting stance, with his fists close to his helmet.
Shaking its misshaped head, Spider growls in anger at the sudden attack from his enemy, the beast quickly crawls back upon its misshaped feet as it charges into the attack again, lashing out with its right arm in a wild slam, only for his attack to get blocked by the unknown Rider’s left arm, followed by moving his right hip forward and slamming his right fist straight into the kaijin’s face, performing a strong right cross! He quickly follows with a left hook towards Spider’s face from the side, punching the beast back to the ground.
Rolling over the dirt, Spider looks up with shaking eyes as hatred grows deep within its core, not even believing how a weak looking Rider can perform devastating attacks against it like that, and yet remaining so calm in the situation; Spider slams its hands upon the soil upon jumping up into the trees again, disappearing.
Looking up, the new Rider slowly takes on his fight pose while slowly making steps around, his head looking into all directions to see where the kaijin will strike; he continues to walk in a close circle ever so slowly.
Unknowingly, Spider jumps down from up above the trees in stealth, landing nimbly behind the Rider as it strikes with its right claw, Gareth sees it happening,
“Look out... BEHIND YOU!” he shouts, but to no avail as Spider grabs the Rider by the scarf, tightening and pulling close to him, strangling the Rider who grabs towards his collar, trying not to let the fabric of the scarf cut off his oxygen, the Spider roars a beastly laughter, unaware of the Rider shifting his left foot at an angle.
Looking through the corner of his bug eye, the Rider spins upon his left foot, and slams his right shin straight into Spider’s abdominals, the Thai Swing kick forces Spider to let go of the scarf upon dropping onto its knees and grabs his abdominals with its misshaped hands, cringing in pain, only to meet a swift knee into its face!
Falling upon it’s back, Spider looks up towards the skies as the pain races through every nerve ending in its body, burning like the raging fires from hell the beast forces its body to rise again, unaware of white blood slowly sipping through a wound on his torso, the monster growls once again as it shoots webbing from its left pouch, only to see the Rider side stepping and grabbing the webbing; the Rider pulls as it literally reel the kaijin in like a caught fish, only to execute a fast left jab, followed by the right cross and the left hook upon slamming his right fist directly under the beast’s chin, performing an uppercut as he suddenly strikes down with his right elbow as if it is a sword, slamming the beast down to the ground again with this time, the spider kaijin lying on the ground emotionless.
Turning his back towards the beast, the new Rider walks away from the scene, unaware of Spider’s ‘fingers’ moving up and down again, the beast’s eyes shot open wide as it stands back up again and charges into the attack again, only to see the Rider turning around and running towards it as well!
Running, the Rider suddenly makes a jump towards Spider as he slams both his knees into Spider’s chest, followed by smashing his right elbow down upon Spider’s head, crashing its skull with an earth shattering blow!
Staggering back, white blood drips from all of its eyes as Spider looks up towards the Rider, the latter glaring down at it as the Rider suddenly crouches through his knees with his antennas flipping forward, almost standing straight while the gem on his chest shines a deep blue and white color, as the symbol of the Material Forge appears below both his feet as well as Spider’s feet, trapping the beast in place while the Rider’s feet are blazing in blue and white flames; he charges into the assault.
Running with all his might, the Rider performs a fast push kick against Spider’s chest, causing the beast to be completely paralyzed as all that it can do now is look at horror,
“TOH!” the Rider calls out as he launches himself with his free, left foot while rotating his right foot that is still pushing against Spider’s chest; he performs a powerful aerial roundhouse kick, kicking the flaming white foot directly into Spider’s face! The latter screaming it out in pain as the blue and white flames races over its body, creating what appears to be a burning T forming all over its body; Spider screams it out in pain upon dropping to the ground, it’s body exploding in white and blue flames as an ashed body is left behind.

Looking down, the Rider slowly looks towards the dying body of Basil; he slowly makes his way towards the latter while passing the still shocked and confused Gareth, Gareth continues to stare towards the newcomer before seeing him walking towards Basil,
“Wait... WAIT!” Gareth shouts as he tries to stand back up again, only to witness the Rider ignoring him and kneeling down in front of the dying Basil, he slowly picks the young half breed up in his arms...

“Just who is that Rider?” Gareth wonders while sitting in his room, confused as hell while waiting for his belt.
“I do not know, if he is friend or foe” Basil’s voice speak as a ghost while the new Rider is fighting against the same spider kaijin, who strangely has turned into a new form.
“Apparently he needs a heart transplant, or else he’ll die!” a doctor’s voice says towards somebody, while the unknown Rider performs his two-for-one Rider kick...
Seigi no Tamashii!
