Chapter 3: A unexpected defeat

KLigers98: Yo! Things are getting hot and I mean really hot. Something is going down and trouble will follow. Tojamaru any idea what type of trouble is afoot?

Tojamaru: We have no way of predicting anything in this future, remember we are lacking knowledge of things that have yet to happen.

KLigers98: I know but anyway let the story begin.

-

M.P.D Cafeteria

At M.P.D River and Nicholas were eating the lunch their mother made and as they ate they decided to talk about how things were going since joining M.P.D

River: So bro you okay?

Nicholas: Yeah I am. Can't believe we faced monsters on our first field day.

River: Yeah me neither. Also, do you think when we rank up Makoto would trust us more?

Nicholas then became quiet and looked at his brother.

Nicholas: Bro we both know what dad did made sure that he would never trust the name, Rivera. I still think he sees us as our father and I can't blame him. Dad did a lot of things that made our name feared all we can do to fix it is to do better than him.

River: Yeah your right.

River and Nicholas kept eating their lunches and as they do they get a ring from Makoto.

River: Looks like the boss wants us.

Nicholas: Then let us finish quick.

Both River and Nicholas finished their lunches and headed towards Makoto's office.

Chief Kodya's Office

When Nick and River visited Makoto's office, Makoto told them to sit down for the briefing.

Makoto: Good, now we need to discuss something important.

River: What's the problem chief?

Nicholas: Did we do something wrong?

Both River and Nicholas asked which Makoto told them it was nothing of the sort.

Makoto: No, everything is calm at the moment. You two need to report in with Tsubaki right? Could you bring this to her for me?

Makoto then placed a small metal case on his desk before he leaned back in his chair slightly.

Nicholas: Sir, what is that?

River: And should we be concerned about the contents of the box?

Makoto: If it was dangerous, I wouldn't be telling you to give it to my daughter now would I? It's just something to help with Tsubaki's work.

River: I see well we will deliver it and make sure it is safe.

Nicholas: We won't let you down Chief.

Both Nicholas and River saluted Makoto and took the case and left his office to find Tsubaki.

Makoto: Hopefully those two don't go poking around in business that is not their own.

Makoto then hears a meow and sees Namur on the shelf.

Namur: Knowing it involves your daughter they would not do that. They may be Kyle's kids but they take after their mother when it comes to not doing anything stupid.

Makoto: Need I remind you butting into business that is none of someone's concern is exactly what got their father into so much trouble? You can say whatever you want Namur, there is a lot of their father in those boys. I just hope it's not a dangerous amount.

Namur: Your worry is understandable. I can't say what the boys are like as I have not been with them in years but I have a good idea that they are better than their father.

Makoto: Words are cheap, I should know after all the nonsense Kyle spouted. So until they prove it, I will remain on guard when anything involves them.

Namur: Understood, by the way, are they still serving tuna sandwiches at the Cafeteria? I am quite peckish.

Makoto: Yes, now hurry over there before someone spots a talking cat. You're lucky the cook is a friend of mine from high school.

Namur: Got it.

Namur then leaves Makoto's office through the window Makoto sighs and looks at a picture from the war.

Makoto: Kyle you are childish, impulsive, and borderline unstable. As your friend, I can forgive you as you have learned from your mistakes, even if it took losing so much. As a father, I can never forgive you for the burden you put on your children.

Makoto then puts the photo down and went back to work.

With Nicholas and River

Walking around M.P.D Nicholas and River were heading to Tsubaki's office and as they walk they saw some stares from other people and some even avoiding them.

River: I know bro but one day they won't see us as our father.

Nicholas: We can only hope.

Both Nicholas and River finally made it to Tsubaki's office and then River knocked on their door.

Tsubaki: This better be good!

River: It's us River and Nicholas your dad wanted us to give you something from him.

Nicholas: He said it would help you in your work.

Both Nicholas and River hear the door open which the boys walk into the office where Tsubaki was sitting down while having her legs on the desk.

Tsubaki: What's wrong with you two?

River: Nothing much.

Nicholas: Yeah we are okay.

Tsubaki could smell bullshit from the brothers and got really annoyed.

Tsubaki: You better spit it out before I knock it out.

Both River and Nicholas turned to one another and nodded and grabbed some chairs to sit on.

River: The police department is afraid of us.

Nicholas: And it is pretty obvious why. Wherever we go people are too afraid to approach us or try to avoid us. Hell, some glare at us, and those who are bold try to cause some shit.

Tsubaki: Get over yourselves would you? Hate to break it to ya, but those guys aren't giving you shit because of your family. Dad didn't go telling every agent all the details about your father's track record. If I had to guess, they're probably pissed off that you're working with me.

Both boys looked confused when she said that.

River: Why the fuck are they mad because of that? We get you are the best agent here but you are terrifying.

Nicholas: Yeah, it's not like we chose you to be our senior officer.

Tsubaki chuckled and looked at the brothers.

Tsubaki: Aren't you forgetting who I am? I'm the boss's daughter! Practically anyone in here would kill to work under me so they could get close to my old man!

River: Okay, that seems shallow as fuck.

Nicholas: Yep, really shallow.

Tsubaki: That's business baby, sometimes you gotta lick boots to get ahead. Life isn't fair after all. That's enough of that crap, hand that case over.

River gives the case to Tsubaki, which she then takes and opens up. Tsubaki smiled and chuckled a bit.

Tsubaki: So those eggheads finally completed another one huh?

Tsubaki then closes the box and turns to the boys.

River: So can we leave now?

Nicholas: Yeah, it seems like our job is done.

Tsubaki: If you want, I have some phone calls to make.

River and Nicholas looked at each other and nodded as they were both free.

River: Sure we got nothing to do plus some away from the other officers seems good.

Nicholas: It's better than seeing the glares.

Tsubaki smiled at the boys and grabbed the phones.

Tsubaki: Alright, these aren't all business calls so if you see a number with a name, don't answer it.

River: Got it.

Nicholas: Anything else we need to know?

Tsubaki: Embarrass me and I'm sure you know what will happen.

Nicholas: We already cover that rule and understand.

Tsubaki smiled and pats Nicholas's head and starts calling numbers.

20 minutes later

Tsubaki has made over 5 phone calls that involved friends, family, and the tech department. Nicholas and River were both reading some manga that Tsubaki had on her which they asked of course to read and she let them. While they read their manga an alarm was heard and River and Nicholas closed them and turned to Tsubaki.

Tsubaki: Well it looks like it's go time! Good, I was getting bored of arguing with the tech department.

River: We will grab our gear and see you at the garage.

Nicholas: Also, thanks for letting us stay in your office.

River then snapped his finger and a portal opened and both Nicholas and River left Tsubaki's office. After getting their stuff and heading down to the garage Tsubaki was ready to brief them on what the problem was.

River: Okay, we are here what's the universe?

Nicholas: Anything we need to know not to look out of place?

Tsubaki: Universe FT-27 this shouldn't be too much of a mess. We can't take any vehicles, cars and motorcycles don't exist in this universe.

River: I see well what about weaponry?

Tsubaki: There are guns in a sense, but no plasma-based weapons. So unless you two can shoot without anyone seeing you, it might be best to avoid drawing your weapons.

River: Are semblances allowed?

Tsubaki: Only one of you has one, plus it's not magic so no.

Nicholas: Wish Namur was still here to help. He is literally magic.

Tsubaki: Wrong type of magic, but it would be better than what you two are currently working with.

River: We really are out of our element. Magic is a tricky business.

Nicholas: Yeah, but the best we get there now and stop whatever is about to happen we might not need to draw our weapons.

Tsubaki: Well considering I have to do most of the heavy lifting, you'll be fine. Anyway, we gotta change clothes.

River and Nicholas looked confused as to why they had to change their gear but nodded.

One wardrobe change later

When changing, the Rivera brothers found themselves wearing grey sleeveless tops with disconnected sleeves. Black pants tucked into brown boots.

(A/N: This is what they are wearing)

River: Okay, I like this.

Nicholas: Same here we will totally blend in. Though let's hope no Pragments appear where the paradox shows up near any civilians or things would be difficult.

Tsubaki: Oh you two are done changing. Good, I thought I'd have to yell at you two to get your asses in gear.

River: Late is not our style.

Nicholas: Yeah if we were late you whoop our asses or better yet ripped them off.

Both Nicholas and River shivered but stopped then just had their jaws dropped. They saw Tsubaki wearing a shirt red jacket with a black shirt underneath. Purple pants with black boots. It also appeared that Tsubaki's figure was more complimented in this outfit.

Tsubaki: What's wrong with you two?

The brother picked up their jaws and then complemented Tsubaki's outfit.

River: Damn, you look badass.

Nicholas: Ditto, love the fashion choice. Also, got to say you look like Tita Yang when she was a teen. We almost confused you for her.

River: The only difference is you bring an aura of fire and pain while Tita Yang is a fire and flashy.

Tsubaki: Shut up will you? I hate dressing like this! Especially since these damn things are out.

Tsubaki grabbed her chest before letting out a frustrated growl.

River: Uhhh, I see well should we get going or should we wait for you-

Before River could finish a chair flew past his head which shut him up.

Tsubaki: For the record, that wasn't me who threw that. What I was referring to was I usually bind my chest, it just gets in the way if it's not.

Nicholas: Well if it wasn't you then who was it?

Nicholas then looked at the area until he saw a very angry Yang, whose eyes were burning red.

Yang: You don't say that River! Don't make me call your mother!

River paled and grabbed his behind and then ran towards Yang and hugged her leg.

River: Tita please don't tell my mom!

Yang: Then don't be a blunt idiot. I understand your being blunt but when talking about my daughter there is a line drawn.

River: I understand Tita, please don't tell my mom.

Yang: Fine I won't but make sure to think before you speak. By Oum, you are cruder than your father. Now behave and make sure to think.

River then let go of Yang's leg which she then patted his head and she went back to work. While Yang leaves, Tsubaki was chuckling at River's expense.

Tsubaki: Man, a little disappointed I didn't get to see mom rip you a new one, but I'll take it. Honestly, I was waiting for you to say something stupid, could've used it for blackmail later.

Nicholas: What! You blackmail us because River asked if he should wait for you to change.

Tsubaki just looked at Nicholas with a stern look.

Tsubaki: Your idiot brother wasn't going to word it like that. Trust me, it would've been crude like my mom said. Too bad, I could've gotten some mileage out of it.

River: Noted now can we please leave to go fix the paradox after literally begging for my life.

Tsubaki: Paradox hasn't happened yet, let's hope we're able to stop the suspect before it comes to that.

River got up and nodded and Tsubaki then led the brothers to the M-Gate before it opened and the trio walked through the gate. The trio was then transported to the universe in question.

Universe FT-27

In an unknown alleyway, a rainbow portal appears, and coming out of it were Tsubaki and the Rivera brothers.

River: Where the hell are we?

Nicholas: My guess Fiore?

Tsubaki: You know I'm starting to see why my dad said your old man was annoying. Just couldn't focus on the task at hand and had to point out the obvious.

River: Hey, it's not like we do anything similar to him.

Nicholas: Yeah.

Tsubaki: Just shut up and follow orders. Right now Phantom Lord is attempting to destroy the Fairy Tail Guild. If I had to guess, some of the members are already in their mobile Guild attempting to stop the assault. It's safe to say that our suspect is most likely there.

River: Yeah, but what moment is the suspect going to change is the question.

Nicholas: Yeah, it could be anything. Hopefully, if we book it and stay out of sight we can take the perp in if we are lucky.

Tsubaki: You two are the only people who call them perps. That aside, we don't have to worry. These clothes are similar to the ones people in this universe so we can move around more freely. That doesn't mean you can talk to anyone!

River: We are not chatterboxes.

Nicholas: Besides, we don't talk to a lot of people.

Tsubaki gets annoyed but starts heading towards the area where the suspect would be followed by River and Nicholas.

Phantom Lord's Guild

Near the shores of Fiore Phantom Lord and Fairy Tail are fighting, Tsubaki and the brothers were watching through high-power binoculars to see anything out of place.

River: So far the battle is the same.

Nicholas: Elfman is down from Gajeel so it would be Natsu vs Gajeel now.

Tsubaki: Well we can't reach that guild, so there's no way of telling what's going on in there.

River: True, but remember the last time the last perp was inside where most of the action was happening. I bet they are going to do it again.

Tsubaki: Doesn't matter, we can't risk teleporting in there and interrupting an important event. Also thank you captain obvious for pointing out that the people trying to cause paradoxes would be at a place with lots of activity.

River lowers his binoculars and grumbles before checking out the guild again. While the group keeps watching, River spots something on the mobile guild.

River: Oi, I think we found our perpetrator. Check the left side of the guild.

Both Nicholas and Tsubaki turned to the left side of the guild to see the masked figure climbing up the side of the guild, that rifle strapped to his back.

Nicholas: Shit, this isn't good.

Tsubaki: We can't risk it, if we sneak into Phantom Lord's Guild, there's a high chance we'll end up interrupting important events.

River: Shit, well Tsubaki we better get ready because hell is about to start.

Inside Phantom Lord's Guild

Natsu was exhausted, he expended too much energy fighting the Iron Dragon Slayer Gajeel. Lucy had just summoned Sagittarius in order to assist Natsu. The masked figure gently cracked open the door to the room as he saw Sagittarius take aim at the generator.

Masked Suspect: Perfect, now go on........

Sagittarius released his magic arrow, but the Masked Suspect fired a shot from his rifle that destroyed the arrow in midair.

Lucy: W-What? What happened to the arrow?!

Gajeel lunged towards Natsu before punching him so hard in the gut that the Fire Dragon Slayer crashed through the wall and out of the guild.

Lucy & Happy: NATSU!!!

Gajeel then turned to face the Celestial Spirit Mage and talking blue cat with a sharp-toothed smile on his face. Lucy and Happy backed up as the Dragon Slayer stalked towards them.

Masked Suspect: That should take care of that! Now, let's see if this Paraeode will be better than the last!

The Masked Suspect slinked away as the sky outside was blanketed in purple fog as a tear ripped out in the sky near the Fairy Tail Guild.

Outside  Phantom Lord's Guild

With Tsubaki, and the Rivera brothers they saw the clouds forming.

Nicholas: Shit, the paradox is forming.

River: Tsubaki, you-

River cuts mid-sentence and Tsubaki was way ahead of them.

Rider Badge: Identify Warden!

White caution tape shot out of the back of the black metallic rabbit head that surrounded Tsubaki.

Tsubaki: Henshin!

Tsubaki closed up the Rider Badge before slotting it into the Enfordriver before pressing the button on top.

Enfordriver: Enforce! The Ferocious Guardian!! Kamen Rider Warden!!!

Warden drew her katana before turning to look at River.

Warden: Don't tell me what to do rookie, now be ready that thing is gonna land near the Fairy Tail Guild. Meaning that the Guild Members will be its prime targets.

River: Sorry, but how can we after that thing forms Pragments we won't be able to use our weapons without the guild members seeing us?

Warden: Well that's the one advantage we get, if a paradox has already happened, we don't have to worry about being seen. As long as we fix the paradox, everything will be reset as if the paradox never happened.

River and Nicholas both looked at each other and smiled and pulled out their pistols.

River: Well thank the multiverse for that lucky advantage.

Nicholas: Agreed, now let's book it.

Warden then snaps her fingers and an Aurora Curtain covers them and they leave the area.

Fairy Tail Guild

Warden and the brothers were on a rooftop near the Fairy Tail guild where the Pareode would appear.

Warden: Alright, things should get hectic soon. Are both of you ready?

River: Locked and loaded.

Nicholas: And ready for action.

A crashing sound was heard as the trio turned to see a large Paraeode that had large arms, and a purple sludge leaking out of parts of its body. It appeared to be rather slow, but had the build of a mountain.

Warden: This one is bigger than the last one. Looks like this was a much more serious offense.

River: Should we worry?

Nicholas: Yeah that thing looks like its sludge is toxic.

Suddenly the sludge started to form into Pragments. These ones were made of a purple crystal. They were also slightly bulkier than the previous ones.

River: Okay, this just got a whole lot harder.

Nicholas: Yeah, but still they all turn to dust.

River and Nicholas aimed their weapons at the purple Pragments which Warden raised in her Katana.

Warden: Be careful, these ones seem like there's something more to them.

Warden then lunged towards the Paraeode before slashing it across the chest. A shallow cut was left in its torso, but it seems completely unfazed by the attack. The Iwadoku Paraeode punched Warden in the chest, which sent her stumbling backwards. River and Nicholas were shocked and then turned towards the Pragments and started firing at them.

While the boys fight, the Pragments Warden then gets back up and gets angry at the Paraeode.

Warden: Alright, you wanna play rough? We can play rough!

Warden slid under another punch before slashing the monster in the back. Warden then slashed its arm before delivering a roundhouse kick to the head. Unfortunately, this barely had any effect on the monster. Warden rolled out of the way of another attack before readying her sword again.

Warden: This thing is durable! Hopefully, things are going better on their end. I gotta figure out how to cut this thing down to size!

Warden dodged a glob of poison sludge that was fired at her before she stabbed her katana into the Paraeode. The blade barely sank in as Warden was punched in the head and sent flying and crashed through a couple of buildings.

Warden: Ow....okay this is not working!

While Warden tries to think of a plan and as she does, the brothers were having problems taking down the Pragments as they started firing poison at them.

River: Shit, Nicholas those things can shoot back.

Nicholas: I know and even when we take them down the Pragments just used them as fucking ammo.

River: We need to change strategy. I will get their attention on the roof while you use your semblance to take them down here.

Nicholas: Works for me.

Nicholas activates his semblance and turns invisible while River portals to the rooftop and starts firing at the Pragments. While the boys are doing their plan, Warden is seen back with the Paraeode ready to fight it again.

Warden: Alright, my sword is still stuck in that thing, it's impervious to most basic attacks, and it can spit poison that's deadly to all bystanders. Well, I wanted to not have to rely on this already, but it looks like I don't have much of a choice.

Warden pulled out an orange Rider Badge with a gold shield on it. Warden pressed the button on the side of it to activate it.

Rider Badge: Identify Rocket!

The Rider Badge flipped out revealing a headshot depicting a different helmet, on the bottom half was a rocket. Warden's armor lost all color as the pieces flew off her leaving only a bodysuit. A rocket badge appeared in front of Warden as black police tape shot out of the back of it forming a cage around Warden. A motorcycle-sized white rocket flew in the air above Warden.

Warden: Alright, let's see what this thing can do!

Warden closed the Rider Badge before slotting it into the Enfordriver before pressing the button on top of the device.

Enfordriver: Enforce! The Spacefaring Guardian!! Kamen Rider Warden!!! Rocket Arsenal!!!!

The rocket above Warden projected an orange shield down onto the Kamen Rider. Warden's helmet, torso, and legs turned a bright orange color. Her arms became black as the rocket split into pieces. The spaceship strapped to the rocket disconnected before forming a piece of heavy chest armor that connected to Warden's torso.

The top of the rocket opened up as a yellow drill shot out. The main body became two large gauntlets that slipped over Warden's hands. The thrusters became leg armor and boots that strapped to Warden's legs. The rocket badge split in half before each half connected to both sides of Warden's helmet. The yellow drill was connected to an orange thruster that folded out a handle that Warden caught before she rested it across her shoulders. Finally, the eyes on her helmet glowed red.

Warden: The power from beyond the stars! Kamen Rider Warden, Rocket Arsenal!

Back with River and Nicholas

On the rooftops, River was firing at the Pragments who in turn were firing poison at him. River managed to destroy some of them but they still kept coming. Even with the help of Nicholas using his semblance, it was still not enough, so far Nicholas is checking his aura and finds that it's at 50 percent.

Nicholas: Shit, I am running out of aura.

Nicholas, then started picking up the pace and kept firing at the Pragments which his brother did the same but as they kept firing they ran into an obstacle as in one of the members of Fairy Tail. To be more precise, Cana Alberona.

Cana: Hey morons, don't you know it's dangerous around here? Kind of got a guild war going on.

Nicholas and River: Oh shit this is not good.

If the brother thought it could not get any worse, Nicholas's semblance stopped working. Nicholas was now visible which the Pragments saw and started attacking him.

Nicholas: Oh shit.

Nicholas started dodging the poison and jumped away from them, landing near Cana.

Cana: Oh, guess Phantom Lord sent some magic rock dummies to attack us. Think they would've given up after Erza blocked that magic beam from their guild's cannon.

Nicholas: Be careful, don't let the sludge poison you. I don't know what would happen if you get hit by it but I can tell it would not be good. Yo, bro warp me to the roof!

River snapped his fingers and a portal opened right next to him, Nicholas then got into the portal leaving Cana.

Cana: Geez, those two sure are good at running away. Well, at least they took my advice.

The Pragments gave chase and started to follow the brothers.

River: Yo bro how are we supposed to take them down? The Pragemnts get destroyed, the others just use them as ammo?

Nicholas then tried to think of a plan until it hit them.

Nicholas: Why not portal the poison somewhere safe so they can't use it as ammo?

River: That would be a good idea but the problem is it strains me. I am nowhere near dad's level of mastery but I may be able to do it.

Nicholas: Good because here they come.

River and Nicholas saw the Pragments heading their way and got ready.

Nicholas and River: Charge!

Both Nicholas and River charged and fired at the Pragments and the battle continued. Nicholas and River started destroying the Pragments and sending the poison away using the portals. The plan was working and so far things were going their way.

Nicholas: Man, hope Tsubaki is doing better than us.

River: Knowing her, she does but who cares right now. Focus on killing these Pragments!

River nodded and continued to fire at the Pragments.

Back with Warden

Warden was seen staring at the Paraeode in her new form and was ready to take it down.

Warden: Now then, let's see what you got!

The Iwadoku Paraeode roared and started to ooze more sludge and then chucked it at her.

Warden: Let's see what this can do!

Warden blocked the poison with her drill hammer before slowly walking towards the Iwadoku Paraeode. The Iwadoku Paraeode saw Warden and raised one of its fist and then slammed it towards Warden, trying to crush her. Warden raised her hand before catching the fist with her free hand.

Warden: Sorry, that's not gonna work this time.

The Iwadoku Paraeode tried to retract its fist but it wouldn't budge in the slightest. Warden swung her hammer into the side of the Iwadoku Paraeode, sending it crashing through a nearby building.

Warden: Well the tables have certainly turned haven't they?

Warden saw the Iwadoku Paraeode was down which then got right back up but as it does one of its arms falls off making more ooze come out of it.

Warden: Well I think it's about time we finished this fight.

Warden then pressed the button on the Enfordriver as she readied her Drill Hammer.

Enfordriver: Finishing Protocol! Galaxy Piercing Judgement!!!

The Drill Hammer revved up as the thruster on the back of the hammer ignited. Warden launched forward before slamming the drill into the Iwadoku Paraeode's chest before lifting it above her head. The drill drilled into the Paraeode's chest as it was held in the air. Warden then brought the hammer down as she slammed the Paraeode into the ground, causing it to explode.

Warden: Alright, that's another mess cleaned up.

Warden then sees the purple fog cleared from the sky and the tear closed back up. Tsubaki then dehenshins and was back in her civilian form.

Tsubaki: Alright I should check in on those two idiots.

Tsubaki then calls the Rivera brothers to see if they are okay and if anything happened.

Tsubaki: Alright the Paraeode has been eliminated, things should be returning to normal.

River: We know though thank god it did. We ran into one of the members of Fairy Tail.

Nicholas: Yeah, to be precise Cana but don't worry everything is taken care of. Our weapons are not seen though we should leave because I believe things are going the same route.

Tsubaki: You act like I don't know that, I've been doing this traveling the multiverse thing a lot longer than you have. Now hurry up, we better get back to base. I have a feeling the suspect already took their leave.

River and Nicholas: Roger that!

Tsubaki then ends the call and starts heading where the brothers were.

Back at Chief Kodya's Office

At Makoto's Office Makoto was being briefed on what transpired on the mission.

Tsubaki: So the Paraeode Shot poison and was incredibly strong, luckily I was able to take it out.

River: Yeah even the Pragments got an upgrade but me and Nicholas managed to handle it.

Nicholas: Also, we managed to avoid an incident with one of the guild members of Fairy Tail. The member thought Phantom Lord was behind the Pragment's but we managed to lead them away.

Makoto: It's not like they would've remembered you after the Paradox was fixed, you simply must avoid interaction before a paradox happens. That aside, how did the test run go Tsubaki?

River: Duley, noted now may we leave?

Tsubaki: You mean the new Rider Badge? It went great! That thing packed a serious punch!

Makoto smiled at his daughter and then turned to the brothers and nodded the brothers then leave the office while his daughter remain.

Tsubaki: So how's Project R coming along?

Makoto: Progress has been made, if only a little. I've started looking at potential agents to receive it once it's complete.

Tsubaki: Already trying to replace me with something better, old man? You only gave me a prototype after all.

Makoto: You're the only one I could trust with that responsibility. Besides, once the tech division becomes more proficient at their craft, you should be due for an upgrade.

Tsubaki smiled and then nodded.

Tsubaki: Thanks Dad, I know this is important and all. So send any new Rider Badges my way for testing!

Makoto waved his daughter off as she left the office.

Makoto: That girl is so much like her mother it scares me sometimes.

Namur: Hey, you knew what you were getting into when you trained her.

Makoto: It appears no one ever told you it's rude to eavesdrop on people. How much did you hear Namur?

Namur then jumps onto Makoto's desk and licks his paws.

Namur: Only the part where you said that Tsubaki reminded you of her mother. Besides that nothing else.

Makoto: Good, I don't feel like sharing classified plans with you. The last thing I need is you nagging me.

Namur: Makoto, when you saved me I agreed that whatever you hid was none of my concern. Plus, my only concern right now is my family. So how was the mission?

Makoto: They played it safe, if they were their father, they would've blabbed to Cana. I commend them for that. That being said, they will be kept in the dark about the project I discussed with my daughter. It would only put them in danger.

Namur nodded with Makoto.

Namur: True, but remember they have their father's luck for danger. In all my years I was with Kyle he somehow always found a way into getting into trouble. I mean seriously I have no idea why?

Makoto: That's no bad luck, it was Kyle's insistence on getting involved with the business of others! Things are picking up with these extremists, while I hate to drag them away from their world, I may need to call in the assistance of my fellow Riders if things continue the way they are.

Makoto leaned back in his chair as he massaged his temples in frustration.

Namur: Do what you must Makoto. Also, I managed to use your phone to call in some tea so it will be arriving soon.

Makoto: Thank you Namur, if only things weren't falling apart like this. It seems our work is never done.

Namur: Agreed, so before I leave when will you be making that secret house of mine? I love sleeping in trees and all but winter can be such an annoyance?

Makoto: Don't worry, it should be finished in a day or two's time.

Namur: Thank you also Makoto I hope things work out.

Namur then leaves the room through the window and Makoto just leans back and sighs. Makoto then looked at an object on his desk, the Multiversal Communication Device.

Makoto: You don't have time for leisure. Things need to get done, besides Yang can always check in if she feels inclined.

Makoto then dials up a number and waits for someone to answer. It takes a minute but the call is answered.

????: Makoto? Is something wrong?

Makoto: The easier question is what isn't wrong?

????: That bad? Isn't your daughter out there fighting the Paraeode threat?

Makoto: Of course she is, she's been recently joined by the Rivera Brothers.

The other line was quiet until Makoto heard an exhale.

????: Kyle's kids? They are part of the M.P.D now?

Makoto: Yes, I'm trying to keep them ignorant to some of the developments within the M.P.D, but it's only a matter of time until they find out. On top of that, the extremists are getting more and more out of hand.

????: You sound like you haven't slept in days.

Makoto: Well the last time I got proper sleep was probably.....three days ago?

????: You shouldn't let your work take priority over your health, lest you want one of your significant others to force you to remain home until you take care of yourself.

Makoto: Don't remind me, I'm trying, but with everything happening, sleep seems to elude me.

????: We all seem to get a happy ending, yet you only seem to get moments of peace.

Makoto chuckled and nodded.

Makoto: Yes, well my journey never seems to end for long. Thank you my friend, we'll be in touch.

Makoto then hangs up the phone and then hears a knock on the door to see his wife with a cup of tea.

Yang: Hey, honey I got you your tea.

Makoto: Thank you. Things have been rather hellish as of late.

Yang: I can tell but maybe I know what can fix that.

Yang then closes the door and Makoto knows that things are about to get interesting.

Makoto: You certainly don't waste any time.

Yang smiled and walked over to Makoto and that was all and said done.

KLigers98: Okay that was good but now I worry. What the hell is going on? Those Paraeodes are getting more deadly each time Tsubaki and the brothers go out to stop the paradox. Sooner or later Tsubaki might not be able to handle an even stronger  Paraeode. What are your thoughts on this Toja?

Tojamaru: Tsubaki has only received one new Rider Badge, if I had to guess there are others in development. I'd say we haven't even seen all that Kamen Rider Warden is capable of. For now I think she will be fine in handling them.

KLigers98: I see well I hope so now I must leave and contemplate the fact that the multiverse will be in more constant danger. Anyway, thanks for reading and Ligers signing off.

Tojamaru: Until our paths cross again everyone!
