Hunting the Defectors [Open]

[Ibuki]

"Make one?" he was annoyed by that, "That's it; anyone can do it?"

[Wakana Sonozaki]

"If you were using a regular Gaia Memory, yeah. However, these are different, and can only be used by someone with a Driver," Wakana told him.

[Ibuki]

He still shook his head, showing his Onteki whistle, "This Onteki allows me to become an Oni. By no means will it let anyone do that. I don't know what it's like to be a Kamen Rider, but to be an Oni, only those who train for long periods of time, who dedicate themselves, can do it. The easy way out with those...Memories annoys me."

[Wakana Sonozaki]

Wakana looked at Ibuki. "The regular Gaia Memories can cause someone to go mad from continued use, though."

[Ibuki]

"Serves them right," he knew he shouldn't say that, a part of him knew he shouldn't, but the other part knew he should, because training was the path in life.

[Wakana Sonozaki]

Wakana pocketed the memory. "Thank you," she said.

[Ibuki]

"For getting it back?" he asked her, starting back towards camp.

[Wakana Sonozaki]

"And for rescuing me."

[Ibuki]

"Rescuing you?" he asked her.

[Wakana Sonozaki]

"You did bring me back to your tent instead of leaving me to die." Wakana smiled at him. "I'm grateful for that."

[Ibuki]

"That's what anyone would have done," Ibuki replied. A Taka Disk Animal flew to him before returning to Disk form. He played his whistle and listened.

"There's danger very nearby," he told her quietly.

[Wakana Sonozaki]

Wakana nodded, eyes narrowing as she carefully looked around.

[Ibuki]

Ibuki drew his whistle up, having it ready in his right hand, while his left held the Reppu tightly.

He could hear footsteps coming closer. Soon he could see two figures, standing in the trees, watching them.

"Rosutoni," he muttered, glancing back to Wakana, "Be careful if you're going to fight them."

At the moment they looked like a Japanese man and woman. As they came closer, emblems appeared on their foreheads, like those on an Oni's forehead. Their bodies rippled into "low-budget", almost grotesque humanoid forms, both of them with only claws as their weapons.

Ibuki lifted his whistle and blew softly into it, letting the pure sound flow around them. He lifted it to his forehead where his emblem appeared. He swept his arm out in front of his body, wind forming around him, forming his Oni body. He slashed the wind down with a chop, standing as an Oni, Reppu up in his right hand now and ready to be fired.

[Wakana Sonozaki]

Wakana took out her Driver and attached it to her waist in reverse. She then took out her Cyclone Gaia Memory.

CYCLONE!

"Henshin," she said, inserting the Gaia Memory into her Driver and opening it. A whirlwind formed as she transformed into Kamen Rider Cyclone.

[Ibuki]

"A wind type, too?" Ibuki questioned, running for the male Rosutoni, who held both hands out, creating a taiko drumstick in each hand. He banged them into a tree, creating a distorted, vile sound that nearly dropped Ibuki to his knees.

He shouted and lifted his Reppu, firing on the Lost Oni to stop him, while the female, with a bladed guitar weapon, went for Wakana.
