[2011-02-04 15:59:02] <Haruka_Emmerich> = =
[16:00:10] <Haruka_Emmerich> Friday afternoon. JUNKER HQ roof helipad.
[16:01:10] <Haruka_Emmerich> An odd place indeed for the stress-test of a new Rider, but then again Korin Takeba became Faiz through odd circumstances...and the only suitable trainer was an equally odd woman.
[16:02:06] <Haruka_Emmerich> "Good to see you, girl." Aelita Schaeffer cooed from across the flat-top, Psyga Phone in hand. "Looks like taking care of business...is gonna be part of your job."


[16:03:10] <Haruka_Emmerich> "Hey, I didn't exactly WANT it to be part of my job..." Korin snapped back, hesitantly palming her own Faiz Phone. "Then again...I can't exactly refuse this kind of gift. Not after I've managed to do my homework."


[16:04:06] <Haruka_Emmerich> "So you know what Royce expects you to live up to...good."


[16:05:21] <Haruka_Emmerich> "Screw living up to Nagase. Or even Takumi." The redhead snaps the Faiz Driver around her waist. "You guys're so eager to have me on as a Rider, you better expect me to do it MY way."


[16:07:12] <Haruka_Emmerich> "You know the rules..." Aelita responds in kind, locking the Psyga Driver in place. "As long as your way WORKS, it may as well be the JUNKER way." The two women proceeded to stare each other down, pacing forward until each was at an opposite end of the circle-inscribed "H" on the concrete.


[16:08:52] <Athon> Haru, for her part, was standing somewhat away from the pair, waiting to see how things would go.


[16:10:49] <OvermanXAN> "You can do it, Korin-tan!" Miyuki gestures emphatically.


[16:13:06] <Haruka_Emmerich> [STANDING BY] [STANDING BY] The phones sounded off before docking into their respective belts. "HENSHIN."
[16:13:59] <Haruka_Emmerich> Streams of Photon Blood raced across the ladies' bodies as the armors of Kamen Riders Faiz and Psyga formed. [COMPLETE] [COMPLETE]  The duel between Korin and Aelita had begun in earnest.
[16:16:14] <Haruka_Emmerich> "Age before beauty." Aelita raised a forearm, one of Psyga's Tonfa Edges glinting.


[16:18:12] <Haruka_Emmerich> "What the hell, lady, you're like, a hundred-ish!" Korin popped the Faiz Phone back out and hastily dialed. [1-0-3 SINGLE MODE]
[16:18:30] <Haruka_Emmerich> Faiz's phone flipped into pistol mode, and Korin fired.


[16:19:48] <Haruka_Emmerich> The photon stream goes wide. "Rule Number 1: One-handed shooting is for gangstas and faggots. Don't be either!"


[16:21:05] <Athon> Haru blinks at this. "O-oi..."


[16:21:13] <OvermanXAN> Miyuki refrains from giving advice, not using guns.


[16:26:15] <Haruka_Emmerich> "Corollary 1A!" Aelita barks as the turbines of the Flying Attacker flip onto her forearms. "Underslung weapons are just plain ludicrous!" A cry of [BURST MODE] erupts from the Psyga Phone as a photon flurry discharges from the twin cannons.


[16:28:20] <Haruka_Emmerich> Korin tucks and rolls, easily evading the spark shower. "Self-demonstrating article, Aelita-san!"


[16:30:15] <OvermanXAN> Miyuki claps. Korin is following her advice well!


[16:34:30] <Athon> "Way to go Korin!"


[16:34:51] <Haruka_Emmerich> "All right, ranged didn't work..." Faiz holsters the phone and rushes forth, looking to pop Psyga one before another of that jetpack's tricks can come out.


[16:36:45] <Haruka_Emmerich> Aelita sidesteps just before Korin's hand grasps one of the Flying Attacker's barrels. "Too obvious."
[16:38:03] <Haruka_Emmerich> And then the jetpack cannons fall slack as Psyga swipes with a Tonfa Edge.

[16:39:47] <Haruka_Emmerich> The blow connects, catching Korin right in the Full Metal Lung and sending her staggering back. "Tch..."


[16:40:18] <OvermanXAN> Miyuki winces. "Uh oh..."


[16:41:10] <Athon> "Don't get panicked! You can do it!"


[16:44:06] <Haruka_Emmerich> Haru's words seem to snap Korin out of the punch-drunkenness. "Playing that way, eh? Well then..." [1-0-6 BURST MODE] [EXCEED CHARGE]
[16:45:19] <Haruka_Emmerich> Faiz's Photon Streams glow bright red as the energy courses into Korin's hands, making the Faiz Phone spit out a flurry of photon shards at rather close range.


[16:49:49] <Haruka_Emmerich> The rapid-fire blast slams into Aelita, nicking Psyga's armor in places but leaving her unfazed. "Not bad at all...for a moment, I thought I'd have as much trouble keeping you in one piece as I would if I'd used ZX..."


[16:53:44] <Athon> "This is the way to go!"


[16:54:04] <OvermanXAN> "Yeah. Keep that up, Korin!"


[16:57:11] <Haruka_Emmerich> "One thing I never liked about Faiz...too dependent on its toys." Aelita's arm shoots for Korin's forearm.

[17:00:25] <Haruka_Emmerich> The threatened arm immediately scrunches out of the way, palming the Mission Memory as it retracts. "Don't I know it..." And then Korin raises her leg, slotting the card into the Faiz Pointer. [EXCEED CHARGE]


[17:03:04] <Athon> "Already going in for the kill?"


[17:03:22] <OvermanXAN> "No point in Korin-chan playing around, yeah?"


[17:04:19] <Haruka_Emmerich> Another rush of Photon Blood shoots into the girl's leg, bursting out the Faiz Pointer...and somehow missing Psyga. "Oh for cryin' out loud..."


[17:05:04] <Athon> "That's why we save that stuff for when we are sure we can hit..."


[17:07:28] <Haruka_Emmerich> "Jeez, after all that fuss with shooting me at point-blank, you're STILL adamant about not being a Rider?"


[17:07:38] <OvermanXAN> "Dunno, I think that thing is defective. That should have hit."


[17:08:03] <Haruka_Emmerich> "Hey, I said I'd do it!" Korin clenches a fist.


[17:10:04] <Haruka_Emmerich> "Conviction is the final tenth of the law, Takeba. If you try to give it your all with power alone..." The Psyga Mission Memory finds its way into one of the Tonfa Edge handles. [EXCEED CHARGE] "...then you'll just flail wildly until someone picks you off!"
[17:11:04] <Haruka_Emmerich> The tonfa on Aelita's right arm slides back as Photon Blood courses into the fist, Psyga throwing a straight at Faiz's chest.

[17:14:44] <Haruka_Emmerich> The Sky Impact punch slams right into Faiz's Full Metal Lung once more...but instead of stumbling back, Korin merely lets the fist slide off. "*hiss* You...drive a hard bargain..."


[17:16:30] <Athon> "C'mon Korin-chan! You can do it!"


[17:17:29] <OvermanXAN> "Come on, Korin. You want to help people, right? Being a Rider is about protecting others. That's what you want to do, isn't it! So put your will into it!"


[17:20:00] <Haruka_Emmerich> "Tch... *hiss* Heheh..." Faiz's visor glints red for a moment. "Protecting others...protecting everyone...I...get it now..."
[17:20:40] <Haruka_Emmerich> As Korin withdraws one more gadget, the screech of electronic gibberish mixed with J-Pop becomes audible.


[17:21:57] <Athon> Haru eyes widen, recognizing exactly what it was. "...!"


[17:22:27] <OvermanXAN> Miyuki covers her ears "Owowow. what's that noise?"


[17:24:21] <Haruka_Emmerich> "Koi no yokushiryoku/hora GAME ga hajimaru/mitsume au to wakaru desho?/Hajimari no BERU ga naru~" Sagarc whirls into sight, buzzing about the quartet.


[17:25:33] <Haruka_Emmerich> "Sagarc! The chiefs have been wanting you for weeks!" Aelita ignites the Flying Attacker thrusters. "Anyone who can help restrain this thing, gimme a hand!"


[17:27:07] <OvermanXAN> "Haru, let's grab it!"


[17:27:25] <Athon> Haru nods, extending her hand towards the sky. "Sagarc!"


[17:28:17] <Haruka_Emmerich> The whirling micro-UFO whizzes over Haru for a moment, but retreats back into the air just before she can grab it.


[17:28:59] <Athon> She makes an annoyed noise, preparing to jump after it.


[17:34:44] <Haruka_Emmerich> "C'mon, just keep it in place..." Psyga kicks off, boosting after the errant henshin device.
[17:35:44] <Haruka_Emmerich> Sagarc manages to veer out of the way before Aelita can grab hold, however.


[17:36:12] <OvermanXAN> "Hime-sama, I'm on it! Henshin!"
[17:37:08] <OvermanXAN> Miyuki poses quickly, becoming Kamen Rider Agito in a flash of light.


[17:38:32] <Athon> "COME ON! SAGARC! I WILL EVEN SING WITH YOU!"


[17:38:45] <Haruka_Emmerich> This gets the UFO to pause in the middle of its evasive maneuvers, inching back to the duo.


[17:39:29] <Athon> "You teach me the lyrics and I will sing with you! We can even get our own theme song!"


[17:39:31] <Haruka_Emmerich> "Mizuho! Arikado! Now, while it's descending!"


[17:39:57] <OvermanXAN> "Right."
[17:42:13] <OvermanXAN> Activating one of the Dragon's Eyes, Agito's armor shifts to red, as she leaps up to try to grab the Snake-UFO.


[17:46:17] <Haruka_Emmerich> Agito Flame Form's hands clasp around Sagarc, which wriggles for a moment, shrieking in its electronic dissonance all the while.


[17:49:12] <Athon> "... Because I was afraid... that you would find someone better then me..." Haru looks crestfallen. "Because I thought... you left me because I wasn't fit..."


[17:49:47] <Haruka_Emmerich> Another staticky squeal, this time more focused at Haru.


[17:51:27] <OvermanXAN> "What's it saying?"


[17:51:35] <Athon> "Can we start again? Can you come back home... with me?"


[17:54:26] <Haruka_Emmerich> Sagarc falls inert for a moment...before blinking and beeping once more.


[17:54:33] <OvermanXAN> "I don't understand this conversation..."


[17:55:18] <Haruka_Emmerich> "You're not the only one..." Aelita lands next to Miyuki and cancels her henshin. "And I'm supposed to be able to figure out ANY spoken language..."


[17:55:25] <Athon> "You can let it go now... Miyuki." She says slowly.


[17:56:10] <OvermanXAN> "O-okay." Miyuki releases it gently.


[17:56:37] <Haruka_Emmerich> Sagarc floats freely for a few seconds...before coming to rest atop Haru's head.

[17:57:14] <Haruka_Emmerich> "Pfft...looks good on you, Haru-kun..." Korin lets Faiz subside before joining the others.


[17:58:02] <OvermanXAN> Miyuki's own henshin fades "Nice hat?"


[17:58:34] <Haruka_Emmerich> Sagarc lets out something akin to a grumble.


[17:59:02] <Athon> She reaches her hand up, touching Sagark with a smile. "I know. You are my good friend, right?"


[17:59:20] <Haruka_Emmerich> A simple affirmative chirp from the UFO.
[18:00:50] <Haruka_Emmerich> "For a good friend, he's sure put the Prez and the rest of your family in a tizzy." Aelita taps at her ear. "Confirmed acquisition of H09-SGC unit. Target appears non-hostile. Send up one of the Oreo to acknowledge."


[18:01:22] <Athon> "And you're going to stay here and protect me this time?"


[18:02:22] <Haruka_Emmerich> Still another electronic gurgle as Sagarc lifts off from Haru's head, whizzing around each of the ladies in turn before coming to rest in front of her.


[18:03:48] <OvermanXAN> "It's cute, I just can't understand it." Miyuki frowns. "Haru, can you please translate for it?"


[18:04:36] <AdventFalls> "...What's all this about?" Yukari entered, curious. "Sorry I'm late."


[18:05:17] <Haruka_Emmerich> "Eeep! Miss Ki-er, Yukari's come to see this?" Korin blushes.


[18:05:36] <Athon> "Yeah, we're going home soon!" Haru smiles. "Where were you hidding?" She asks before turning to her mother. "Hey mom, look at who came back!"


[18:06:31] <Haruka_Emmerich> Sagarc buzzes once more, though more to respond to Haru than acknowledge Yukari's presence.

[18:07:27] <Athon> "It's alright. But... You aren't going to put me into trouble... are you?"


[18:07:53] <Haruka_Emmerich> The UFO-thing seems to rock back and forth, as if to shake its head no.


[18:08:36] <Athon> "Alright Then everything will be alright!"


[18:08:41] <Haruka_Emmerich> "Hell of a find, Madame President." Aelita salutes. "Seemed to want to see Takeba and myself duking it out."


[18:10:58] <OvermanXAN> "I still have no clue what's going on."


[18:12:19] <Athon> "He was kinda sad I was using Ixa... And thought it was his fault I chose to do so..."

[18:18:52] <AdventFalls> "....Sagarc?!"

[18:23:48] <Haruka_Emmerich> "Yep, and a lucky break that Miyuki managed to grab it when she did. I was counting on Korin going Faiz Accel on it, myself..."


[18:26:23] <OvermanXAN> "Are you two going to finish with that, by the way?"


[18:28:27] <Haruka_Emmerich> "Perhaps later..." Aelita turns to Korin for a moment. "...I think we both need a little practice with these. I haven't broken Psyga out for a training run in about five years, myself..."

 

[15:29] <OvermanXAN> "You did well, Korin-tan!"

 

[15:30] <AdventFalls> Yukari nodded slowly. "...We have Sagarc... Aelita, can we get Royce to look at it?"

 

[18:35:09] <Haruka_Emmerich> "Maybe...seems like that's Haru's request to make, though."


[18:36:30] <Athon> "Oh... Mama..." She scratches her head. "Sagarc made a remark that got me quite... confused."


[18:39:21] <Haruka_Emmerich> "JUST you?" Korin cocks an eyebrow.


[18:40:16] <AdventFalls> "What is it?"


[18:40:53] <Athon> "He called Ixa... the traitor's armor."

 

[18:42:11] <AdventFalls> "...It's possible Sagarc might be talking about.... the person who used Ixa when SEES was around. Aelita?"


[18:46:09] <Haruka_Emmerich_> "Yeah, the traitor in that line of thought would definitely be Ingrid von Harkonnen...the bolter bitch one, not the Orky one." Aelita stretches momentarily, blue lines flickering into view under her shirt. "Ex-Rook of the Checkmate Four, defected sometime after the Noodly One got his hands on Dark Kiva...then killed by his sister after she'd inherited it."

[18:47:58] <Athon> "Was it her?" Haru asks her transformation Device.


[18:49:03] <Haruka_Emmerich> A gurgle from Sagarc brings Haru her answer.


[18:49:09] <Athon> "Yes. It was her."


[18:51:20] <Haruka_Emmerich> "Leave it to a Gear to carry its master's grudges. Maya Inoue's been rotting since Suzaku found her family's SHOCKER ties, and we've more or less made sure of it."


[18:52:01] <Athon> "Don't talk badly of him!" Haru calls in an annoyed voice.


[18:54:21] <Haruka_Emmerich> "Haru-kun! That was uncalled for!" Korin piped up. "After all that family did to..."


[18:54:54] <Athon> "They may have caused a lot of problems, but it's not Sagarc's fault!"


[18:56:23] <OvermanXAN> "That's a he? But it's singing J-Pop in a female voice..."


[18:56:58] <Haruka_Emmerich> A rather shrill burst of modem-speak erupts in Miyuki's direction.


[18:57:37] <Athon> "He just can reach higher tones."


[18:58:23] <OvermanXAN> "I see."


[18:58:26] <Haruka_Emmerich> "Really? Thought it was like, voice clips or something, like that one movie with the robots speaking TV and radio..." Korin gives the creature a once-over.


[19:02:34] <Haruka_Emmerich> "Either way...Haru, ask Sagarc if he'll let Royce look him over for a bit. And...tell him I'm sorry, I guess."


[19:03:46] <Athon> She looks up to him, waiting for his answer.


[19:05:29] <Haruka_Emmerich> Two quick staticky gurgles provide it.


[19:09:52] <Athon> "Only if you want me to. Otherwise I won't force you to do anything." She turns to Aelita. "He accepts the appologies."


[19:10:47] <Haruka_Emmerich> Sagarc lets out yet another drawl.


[19:11:30] <Athon> "Holy words? What are you talking about?"


[19:13:32] <Haruka_Emmerich> "My best guess? He's finally realized the rest of us can't speak Sagarc-ese." Aelita furrows her brow.


[19:13:58] <OvermanXAN> "I hope that's it..."


[19:17:08] <Haruka_Emmerich> "Yeah, if you let Royce look him over, please, PLEASE make him speak Japanese or English or SOMETHING."


[19:22:48] <Athon> "I don't think he wants to be touched by her. And I won't force him to do something he doesn't want to.


[19:23:37] <OvermanXAN> "Can you teach him Japanese at least? Please?"


[19:23:52] <Athon> "I can try to..."


[19:24:33] <Haruka_Emmerich> Sagarc seems to chirp insistently at Haru at this exchange.


[19:24:54] <Athon> "Alright. And I will stay with you to make sure this is all that happens. Alright?"


[19:26:14] <Haruka_Emmerich> A lateral shake, as if saying yes.


[19:28:32] <Athon> "Alright. Let's go then?"

[19:30:21] <Haruka_Emmerich> A quizzical chirp. Seems the general message of "Right now?" is noticeable to all.

[19:34:14] <Athon> "I don't think so."
[19:34:21] <Athon> "I have to request for it first."


[19:36:05] <Haruka_Emmerich> "Well, Yukari and I will be passing the message on to Royce. She'll stay true to his demands, believe me." Aelita lets out an exhale. "In the meantime, as long as Sagarc sticks with you, I think we're good."


[19:51:32] <Athon> She nods happily.


[19:52:38] <Haruka_Emmerich> Sagarc seems to bob up and down, eager to remain at his partner's side.


[19:54:21] <Athon> "Let's go Sagarc! I have to get used to you, after all!"


[19:55:00] <Haruka_Emmerich> An affirmative gurgle from the UFO-thing.
