Black Cores, the Emperor, and Destiny [Medals/open

[Mary Baudelaire]

"I think we did," she said. "Though I don't know for how long..."

[Mary Baudelaire]

"Not that I can think of at the moment," Mary said, unhenshining.

[Nago Baudelaire/Hikaru Kagawa]

Ridge gave up his pursuit for now. He would get it done later. For now, he had other matters to attend to with his Black Cores.

In Europe, after getting off the plane, Nago tried to call Mary, only for it to fail. It sounded like voicemail, but it wouldn't actually get to her phone, as it was just a filter that Ridge had put up to block him from contact with current events in Japan. He preferred to keep his pawns separated from events such as these.

"Nago, we have a job," Hikaru told him.

Nago closed his phone, "Yeah, you're right. Let's go."

[Mary Baudelaire]

"I've tried getting in touch with a Rider I know, but he's not answering... The only other Rider I can think of is..."

"ACHOO!!" Ryuuga said, sneezing. "Someone talking about me?" he asked himself.

[Johnathan Walker]

Johnathan quickly deactivated the armour once he got near to the original site, searching through the site. The data pad was now a torrent of data that streamed across the stream, something that wasn't uncommon when he encountered something new. His eyes came upon a Cell medal that had been split in half 'So this is what they were after? He asked himself.

[Mary Baudelaire]

"I think he may be at the Rider Bar," she said. "Just keep driving."

[Mary Baudelaire]

"Mary Baudelaire, Kamen Rider Skull."

[Mary Baudelaire]

"I do a little, with you saving my life and all," she explained. "But not completely."

[Mary Baudelaire]

"No," she said simply, but in a tone that anyone could easily tell was an honest one.

[Mary Baudelaire]

"Sounds trustworthy enough to me," Mary said, smiling a little. "Anyway, we're almost there."

[Mary Baudelaire]

"Yeah," she said, nodding.

[The Greeed]

Ankh could feel pain tearing through his body. He was beginning to grow accustomed to it. Pain rippled through every cell {Yes, that was a pun} of his body and his arm was withered and dying. He glanced at it and grinned as he saw the large ring-like shield that was on his left arm. The Asshu Spinner, created from his own body with the power of the Purple, Green and Red Greeed. A new weapon that showed the fight for dominance in his body. He was dying, but he was infinitly more powerful... And greed no longer plagued him so severely.

He had cast aside his fellow Greeed when he gained the new power. Uva was dead, Mezool out of the story, Gamel weak without her and Kazari was running as fast as his Cheetah Cores could take him.

He was Ankh, the dominator of life. He stood up from the ledge of the Fuuto Tower and jumped, sifting through his body as he changed into his human form.

[McKenzie Williams]

Hired by Kougami, McKenzie had been brought to Japan. She figured she was hired only because she was OOO, and the Foundation used the Medals, but it didn't matter to her; she got away from Smart Brain's executives for the time being, at least.

She had met and worked with a Greeed, but was separated now from that woman. She could still feel the Greeed for some reason; through the Medals and the device allowing her to use OOOverdrive, perhaps?

She didn't know, but she knew there were Medals around. A lot of them. She was currently somewhere around Ryuuga's area.

[Johnathan Walker]

_{Johnathan walked down one of the many downtown streets with the data-pad from his Driver in hand; the device pointing out various locations that had energy sources similar to the medal he'd retrieved. He had begun to question himself as to why he was searching for other riders, after all the previous Alteris user had been killed by someone and it wasn't out of the question that the original manufactures were after the device. It had only recently entered his mind that he should destroy the Driver; but then again it had saved him many times.}

[Hideki Ryuuga]

Ryuuga, unhenshined, was now sitting on a bench, almost sleepy.
