Right As Rain [K.W. Cross]

[Nakida Sassu]

She flipped through the pages until she got to a page filled with different kinds of pasta.

Two pages. She put it down and closed her eyes, randomly tracing the words. She stopped suddenly and looked down, reading where her finger was at.

"They have chilli pasta?" She looked up at Cross and frowned, spinning her head around.

[K.W Cross]

"Do-!" Cross lowered his voice and placed the outstretched arm on the table "Don't ... there's this guy behind you he's this sort of ... well, we have a history," Kyle started looking at the menu while he talked, trying to keep his head down "He calls himself Jacques Morte but it's obviously an alias, his real name is Cameron Tyson. He's wanted for arms dealing, drug smuggling, people trafficking, the list goes on ..."

The man sitting in a bench was a tall black man, broad shouldered and wearing a black coat. Down his eye was a dragon tattoo that snaked down his neck and ended on his left hand. In his arms was a briefcase.

Kyle got up and kissed Nakida on the forehead.
"Get the police ..." He whispered.

[Nakida Sassu]

Nakida nodded before sliping her hands into the inside of her jeans and she ripped off the weak threads holding her gloves. She pulled her mobile phone out of her pocket and clenched her fist with the other.

[K.W Cross]

Cross took a deep breath. Here he was walking up to a violent smuggler whose alias had the French word for "death" in it, had tattooed a scary looking blue dragon down the left side of his body and whose last victim had been hung in a freezer on a meat-hook ... by their tongue. His stomach felt like he'd just swallowed a thousand butterflies, his legs felt like jelly, how could he beat this guy?

Kyle started to walk towards him, suddenly aware that he didn't have a gun, or pepper-spray, or anything on him. His throat had gone dry and he was only a few steps away from Jac-
"... shit," he murmured as the man began to walk away, had he seen him?

[Nakida Sassu]

With a violent flick of Nakida's wrist a vine shot out and whipped the man's feet. Panting for a moment (She rarely used her powers without them being connected to her body) she called the police.

[K.W Cross]

The man tripped up, Kyle ran up to him and pushed him. That was when he noticed what was in Jacques's hand. A gaia memory. Kyle tried to stamp on his hand but the man had already placed it into a bio-port disguised as part of his dragon tattoo.

RAGE!

The man leapt up his body glowing with energy. His arms were massive and tipped with giant arms, his upper body had spiked tentacles growing out of his back and a giant tongue was lolling out of his spiked mouth. Kyle took a step back as the huge orange monster roared and then leapt at him with ferocious speed and strength.

[Nakida Sassu]

[Aah, good. I was stalling until I thought of a good Kaijin for this.]

"Kyle, run!" Nakida screamed as her call ended and she jumped up from her crouched position. Two thorned whips fell out of her bracelets and she slashed the Dopant, glad everyone's attention was diverted in the panic. She didn't care that she had used this skill a million times as Rose and Cross might find out, she had to fight.

[K.W Cross]

Cross didn't even notice he was too busy being held up into the air by the dopant.
"You!" It roared "You're that bastard who stopped my shipping operation!"
"I stopped a l- a lot of your shipping operations," Cross spluttered "You'll have to be more specifi-"

The dopant tumbled to the ground as Nakida's attack hit the dopant and sent him to the floor, dropping Kyle. Kyle coughed and nodded.
"Run! I can handle this ... maybe ... hopefully ..." Kyle said.

He could certainly try, he'd taken out a dopant before (albeit an exceptionally weak Injury dopant) so he should be able to handle this guy just as well ... maybe.

[Nakida Sassu]

Nakida threw another vine and curved it to try and strangle the Dopant or kill it with the thorns and used the other hand to pick up her Cross.

[K.W Cross]

The dopant whirled around, grabbed the vines and pulled Nakida towards him with a roar.

[Nakida Sassu]

Nakida cried out from the sudden pull but she recovered quickly and a large black thorn sprouted from her joined feet and she went for a desperate kick.

[K.W Cross]

The Rage Dopant growled, threw Nakida backwards and then staggered backwards. Cross whirled around and punched him in the stomach causing him to stagger backwards and roar.
"Get out of here!" Cross shouted at Nakida "Now!"

[Nakida Sassu]

"No!" Nakida shouted back as she hit a touble. She groaned and crumpled but she shakily stood back up and made her finger into a gun. She shot a volley of thorns.

[K.W Cross]

The dopant looked up again and caught a thorn right in it's eye, it pounced forward and lunged at Nakida. Cross jumped up and punched him backwards before swirling around and grabbing Nakida's wrist.
"Get. Out. Now." He said, pushing her towards the exit.

[Nakida Sassu]

Nakida stared as him in the eye for a moment before nodding and running away, casting one last glance.

Perfect. She thought as she ran around the building. She diffused the rose in her hands and pulled herself onto the roof before jumping down into the kitchen of the restaurant. She burst through the doors, shield in hand (Or on hand).

"For as long as I am here, as long as I live, as long as I exist I will fight to defend. I am Kamen Rider, the symbol of hope." She announced boldly.
