"Brainwashing, huh.. Uh huh.. Well, that's certainly not worrying.. Totally.. Yeah.. Anyway, yes; I'd like you to explain this.. stuff. Maybe I'd be a little less confused then.. Because, currently, I just have no idea what's going on anymore with you Riders. Especially that crab.. thing. Boy, that was weird.."
English
-
"Heh, that crab was from the world of Hibiki, one of the Riders. She says, holding up the Hibiki card. She opens up her gun, the DiendDriver, and presses a special blue button on it, revealing hundreds of Earths and Tatakai all around them.
-
[i]He raised his right eyebrow high, simultaneously cocking his head to the left.. His curiousity and confusion only grew and grew. [/i] "Hibiki? And what's with all the earths? Different dimensions? And that's a very interesting gun.. thingy.."
-
"Hibiki is a Kamen Rider...like myself and Keira. We're heroes, like the Power Rangers, basically. All these Earths and Tatakais you see here are just some out of the various worlds that exist."
-
"Ah, I think I understand now.. Please, do continue with your explanation." [i]He said in response to Kara, having listened rather intently. Luke found it rather interesting, truly. [/i]
-
"In a way, Merci here is me from an alternate world." Kara says, pointing to two worlds nearby one another, with some sort of red tether connecting the two. "You see, the World of Remnant, and our world, the world of the Dojo, are both directly connected, meaning that we could directly connect with each other via portals, like the one that took you to the world of Shocker." She breathes a little bit, as Merci asked, "Wait...how do you know I'm you?" "Because I checked your DNA when you first entered this dimension, and it matched up with my own." She responds. "Speaking of which, there is a world that may be of interest." Kara says, pointing to a specific world farther away from the two tethered worlds. "That is the World of the Dead. Any Rider, Immortal, Dojo member, or civilian from the World of the Dojo and other Rider worlds rest there. We can't directly access it until either we have enough energy to send someone back to life thereto here, or they directly open a portal. When they enter this world, they return to life." Kara explains, looking at the world with a bit of interest.
-
[i]Luke managed to follow the whole story, also managing to understand it. Occasionally, he gave a nod of understanding, his hazel brown eyes closed. Once Kara finished, the Russian immediately asked a few questions, [/i] "How did you even check Merci's DNA when she entered this place? Would there be an alternate version of me somewhere? If so, that'd be awesome and I'd love to meet him.. And, the World of the Dead does sound very interesting, though I'm not completely sure why you brought it up.. Because, I don't have anyone I'd bring back.. got over the deaths of those I cared for.." [i]He went silent for a moment or two, before his eyes opened and looked at Kara with pure curiousity and interest, [/i] "Do you have any plans? Or, did you simply tell us just because? Either way, the world is interesting, as I've said before."
-
"To answer your questions...needle plus invisibility got me to know that she's...well me. Maybe there is a second or third version of you out there somewhere. And I mentioned the World of the Dead for one reason..." Kara answers, pointing at a red dot on their world, pointing specifically at the Ko Rudo Mountains. "If they're willing to come, they can help us activate a portal there. Of course, we need gunships and extra support over there in case of anything weird...but we should be able to bring back some people to this world. All we needed to do is charge it up."
-
"Except," [i]Luke began with a soft voice, [/i] "Shouldn't the dead be allowed to rest? What right have we to disturb their rest? Isn't it.. inhumane to disturb the cycle of life? They died, and I think it should remain that way.. Who knows what could happen if we bring the dead back to life.. They could be monstrosities, no? They might be completely different than what we remember.." [i]He then looked at Kara with something of.. worry. These are things that he did fear. The communist then spoke again, his voice back to its normal volume, [/i] "So, I think it's a bad idea.. Unless, of course, you can convince me otherwise?"
-
"Well...what happened if I told you that Shocker has already did that...multiple times? They did it with their leader and other generals as well. At one point, they even turned our own Riders against one another...plus, technically, we did it to our own Riders so that we could be able to continue on. What can't say we can't do that to the Dojo?" She says, an eyebrow raised toward Luke.
-
"Y'know, Shocker is.. well, evil - from my point of view, anyway.. So, I expect them to have brought people back to life.. But, I still disagree with it. The dead should be allowed to have their rest, in my very honest opinion.. It's only natural, and do we really want to go against nature? Going against nature doesn't end all that well, y'know." [i]Was Luke's response, his own, right eyebrow raised as well. [/i]
-
"Well, we technically did build civilizations on top of ''nature"; we're using nature to do everything, whether it be getting food or creating life. I'm sure it'll allow us do it this time."
-
"What I'm trying to say is that reviving the dead is unnatural.. But, eh, I don't have a say in what you want to do, now do I? Don't blame me if it screws you over, though. And, is that all?"
-
"Well...there is one more thing I can tell you..." *she points to their world, connected by five tethers* "If we could be able to find some sort of portal, we could connect each of these worlds together. Of course, you have the World of RWBY (she points to Merci, who was looking very confused.) The other four...I don't really know. I guess when we find a portal, we could find out." She replied, finishing her explanation, as the worlds disappear, returning them to the Dojo.
-
"World of RWBY? What's that? Is that the, uh.. Remnant thingy? What's RWBY? Is it.. a word? Foreign language? Or a, uh.. What're they called.. Anagram? I dunno.." [i]Luke then just shrugged, nodded in appreciation of the explanation, and then gave a toothy grin, showing some of his practically pristine teeth - except there was a hole where his left canine would be.. Must've lost it at one point. [/i] "Well, Kara, I thank you for the explanation and all that, but we've got someone to find. Merci and I, that is."
-
"Yes...would you please mind letting us go to this other 'Rider'" Merci asked, a hint of a German accent on her. "Yeah...knew you'd say that." Kara replied, smirking before pulling out a card and activating it. [i][Attack Ride: Auto Vajin!][/i] She summons a grey and red motorcycle from her gun. "Good luck mates." Kara responds. *Merci also gets on the bike, as she looks toward Luke.* "When you are ready, Monsieur."
-
"Uhm," [i]Was the only thing Lucas silently said as he looked down at himself, right eyebrow raised. He then looked back up at the motorcycle, which I'm pretty sure had two people on it because you said "also" when Merci got on it. [/i] "I would get on.. But I'm by no means.. a small man.. So, uh.. Hmm.. I don't think there people would fit - especially if the third person is as.. large as me." [i]Now, Lucas wasn't fat or anything.. He was very well built. Muscular and tall. Standing at six feet precisely - much like his older brother - and with a fairly lean, muscular physique.[/i] "Yeah.. No.. I don't think I'll fit."
-
"It's alright...I can just do this." Kara responds, sliding in another card. [i][Attack Ride: Clock Up!] [/i] "There...speed boost." She responds, giving Lucas a boost to sprint much faster for a minute or so. "Shall we?" Merci replies, driving the cycle after the direction Lucas pointed her to.
-
"Speed boost, huh.." [i]Luke muttered to himself as he watched the two drive away from him for just a moment. He then started speed walking after the motorcycle, gradually speeding up before he broke into a gentle jog. [/i] "Hmm.. I'm already quite.. speedy with my prosthetics.. Now even more so, it seems.." [i]He muttered once more, speeding up further and breaking into a sprint, swiftly catching up to the motorcycle. [/i]
-
"Well...seems Luke over there likes his temporary upgrade." Kara says, as Merci chuckles. [spoiler]We might need Wagon for this next part.[/spoiler]
-
"Well," [i]The Russian started in response with a smirk playing around his lips, a soft chuckle accompanying his words, [/i] "Who wouldn't like an upgrade like this?" [spoiler]Hmm? Why's that? [/spoiler]
-
"Anyone who's already as fast." Kara responds, chuckling in response, Merci also chuckling. [spoiler]Keira already left. Small little battle between her and Chloanne, ended in Keira leaving, injury in the stomach after getting stabbed.[/spoiler]
-
[spoiler]>triggered communist cyborg[/spoiler] "True enough," [i]Was all Luke said in response, eyes still looking forwards, his legs moving automatically at this point. [/i]
