Now last time Nobu has revealed Melissa he was an Armored Rider plus revealed Helheim, Kouta, and the mission. The good news was that she joined the team and will be helping fix the other Genesis Drivers. Now with the chance of the Armored Riders having a fighting chance things are looking up for them. Now with that said let the story begin.

Yaoyorozu Residence

In the Yaoyorozu Residence, It was 6 pm and Momo was seen at the table with Kenji who was across from her waiting for their food from their chef.

Momo: So Kenji, how was your day?

Kenji: Let's see, stuck here once again. It should only take me a day or two more then I'll finally be able to come and go as I please. Not like anyone would notice.

Momo: That is not true Kenji I will notice, Mom and dad would too.

Momo said, which made Kenji's eyes roll.

Kenji: Sure they would, look I don't know why you suddenly care about what's going on in my life, but could you back off? I've made it this far without people caring, I can make it the rest of the way just fine.

Kenji said, which made Momo confused as to why he was acting this way. Momo was about to speak but then the doors opened and both she and Kenji turned to the door and coming through it was a man in a suit with black hair and beard and next to him was a woman with black hair and pale skin wearing a black kimono.

These people were Katashi and Masae Yaoyotozu Momo and Kenji's mother and father.

Katashi: Hey, Momo guess who is back from their business trip.

Masae: Yes, your father and I are back from his business trip plus my tour for showing my new art.

Both parents looked happy at their daughter not noticing their son.

Momo: Mom, dad it's good to see you. Look, Kenji, it's our parents.

Momo said with a smile but she saw Kenji was not happy about it.

Kenji: So? It's not like they weren't coming back from their business trip. Don't act like it's something special.

Kenji said, looking angry at Momo.

Katashi: Momo how have you been? Did you miss your mother and I?

Masae: If so then please forgive us for not being back sooner.

Both Masae and Katashi said which Momo nodded. Kenji on the other hand was still angry at being ignored and decided to stand up and leave the table which Momo saw.

Momo: Kenji where are you going?

Kenji: My room, I got some work for school. You know how it is, online courses and all.

Momo tried to make Kenji stay but got bombarded with questions from their parents making Kenji leave the room without their knowledge.

Katashi: So Momo I saw the news. You've been doing well with being a pro hero being ranked 9 in Japan.

Masae: We are so proud of you Momo.

Momo: Thanks mom, thanks dad, I've been really pushing to be a better hero.

Both Katashi and Masae nodded at Momo.

Katashi: We believe in you Momo.

Masae: Yes, we believe you will be a great hero but there is also something we need to talk about.

Momo looked at her mother and wondered what she meant.

Katashi: She is right, well you are already an adult and also being part of the Yaoyorozu family. Your mother and I will be showing a tour of the factory for Yaoyorozu Industries, after all, we are leaving it to you when we retire.

Momo's father said which made Momo shocked but also at the same time confused as they did not include Kenji.

Momo: I understand, so is Kenji coming as well?

Katashi: Of course, he needs to see what his sister is gaining of course.

Masae: Yes, he must see when his big sister becomes the boss.

Both parents were very happy, which made Momo confused again as they still didn't include Kenji for the business.

Momo: Well, it'll be nice having the family all together.

Katashi: Indeed we will have a great time.

Masae: Just like when you were kids.

Both parents said that Momo tries to remember having fun as a family as kids but as she tries to remember but it was hard as she doesn't remember a time when she and Kenji were happy as kids the only recurring memory was when he was 11.

Momo: Kenji....

Kenji's Room

Inside Kenji's room, he was slamming his fist into his bed in anger.

Kenji: I can't stay here right now. I need to get the hell out of here!

Kenji then grabbed the Gate Lockseed on his nightstand. Nobu had been able to create two more with the help of Melissa this past week. Kenji quickly locked the door to his bedroom before activating the Lockseed.

Lockseed: Gate!

The Dimensional Zipper opened a portal in Kenji's room as he turned to face it.

Kenji: It's not like anyone in this house would check to see if I'm okay anyway........

Kenji then entered the portal before it closed behind him, leaving his room completely empty.

Helheim

Over in Helheim the dimensional zipper opened and walking out of it was Kenji who looked very mad and as the portal closed Kenji saw a bright light which then died down to reveal Mai.

Mai: Kenji Isn't it a bit late for you to come to Helheim?

Kenji: I don't care Mai! Give me some Inves to fight, I need to calm down and staying at home is not helping!

Mai saw Kenji was mad, but she also noticed something rather strange for the usually serious and confident Armored Rider. In the corners of his eyes, were tears.

Mai: Kenji, are you okay?

Mai asked which Kenji nodded but Mai knew he was lying and walked over to him and then gave him a hug.

Mai: You don't have to lie, I can tell you are hurt.

Mai said Kenji tried to break free from her grip.

Kenji: L-Let go of me! I don't need your damn pity!

Mai: It's not a pity Kenji, this is me caring for someone I think of as a son.

Mai said still hugging Kenji which he finally gave in, Kenji honestly couldn't remember the last time he actually wanted someone to hug him. He also couldn't remember the last time he let himself cry.

Kenji: I-I'm not used to this sort of thing, being vulnerable you know?

Mai: It's okay Kenji I understand but please let it out. I am here for you and I care so please let it out.

Mai said that Kenji let himself have a moment of weakness and let his emotions out. While he would never admit to letting himself breakdown like this, he did know it was for the best. Kenji slowly returned the hug.

Mai: There you go, do you feel better now?

Kenji: A little bit......

Mai smiled and then let's go of Kenji and wiped his tears away.

Mai: Kenji, you are a strong person. You would make the greatest of sacrifices. Showing your emotion does not make you weak, it shows you are human. It shows you are also a good person as well.

Mai said with a smile while Kenji smiled and nodded.

Mai: Good now why not some training before going home?

Kenji: Yeah, I've got at least half an hour until they're done with dinner.

Mai then summons some Inves and Kenji pulls out his Sengoku Driver and the Lemon Lockseed.

Lockseed: Lemon!

Kenji then plugs the Lemon Lockseed in and then locks it.

Kenji's Sengoku Driver: Lock on!

Kenji then slices down on the fruit and turns into Baron and brings his spear up towards the Inves.

Baron: Bring it on.......

Baron then charges at the Inves which they did as well and both clashed.

30 minutes later

After Kenji was done training on Helheim he went back to his room and once inside he took a shower and then changed into his sleeping attire but as he was going to bed he got a knock on his door.

Kenji: Oh joy, who could it possibly be?

Kenji then saw the door open and saw it was Momo.

Momo: Hey, Kenji.....

Momo said with a small smile.

Kenji: What do you want? Here to tell me the chef is pissed I left before dinner?

Momo: No, I told him to wrap that up for you. Anyway, besides that, I wanted to inform you that we are going to the factory tomorrow.

Momo said that Kenji got angry when hearing that.

Kenji: Let me guess, we're going to see how you're taking over the business right? Count me out then.....

Momo: Kenji it's mandatory Mom and Dad said you have to come.

Momo said, which made Kenji slam his fist against the wall, startling Momo.

Kenji: You've got to be fucking kidding me! Of course they want me involved when it's you getting yet another award!

Momo: Kenji calm down, it's just a tour.

Momo tried to calm Kenji down but it didn't seem to help.

Kenji: Bite me Momo! Why the hell should I go?!

Momo: Kenji please calm down, why not invite someone to come with you.

Momo said, which made Kenji calm down a little.

Kenji: Fine, but don't expect me to be happy for you Momo!

Momo nodded but also smiled a bit before standing up and then walking out the door before turning back.

Momo: Goodnight Kenji.

Kenji: Whatever.......

Momo then sighs and closes the door and is now alone. Kenji sighed and took his phone out and texted Nobu and Daisuke in their group text thread.

Kenji: Are you guys up?

Kenji waits for a response and then gets one.

Four Eyes: It's rather late for us to converse, what exactly do you require from us Kenji?

Charity Case: Yeah, I am up, what's up Kenji?

Kenji: I need you guys to help me with something. If not I might just lose my mind.

Kenji then sees both Nobu and Daisuke respond fast.

Four Eyes: Intriguing, it must be rather dire if you're seeking out our assistance.

Charity Case: What you need man I am up for anything really. I got nothing to do for a while, so what is it?

Kenji: I need you two to go on a tour with me.

Kenji then waits for them to respond until he sees Nobu's and Daisuke's text.

Four Eyes: Very well, Professor Shield has lectures to give all day tomorrow. So I could afford to take a break from working on the other Genesis Drivers.

Charity Case: I got nothing else to do tomorrow so sure.

Kenji: See you then.

Kane then ends the text and then turns off his phone before putting it away.

Kenji: Well at least I'll have someone to talk to while I'm forced into this mess.

Kenji then closes his eyes then falls asleep.

Yaoyorozu Enterprises

It was morning and Momo, Kenji and their parents were outside of the factory plus Daisuke and Nobu though Momo was a bit concerned about them.

Momo: Kenji, can you tell me who these two are?

Momo asked which Kenji just rolled his eyes.

Kenji: What, mad you didn't think to invite your boyfriend?

Momo looked a bit mad but turned to Daisuke and Nobu.

Momo: Care to explain how you two know my brother?

Nobu: We have been assigned to an extracurricular activity with your younger sibling. I am actually a student at the university. I believe we share an acquaintance in Professor Shield?

Daisuke: Same with me about that extracurricular activity.

Momo then turns to Kenji with some concern.

Momo: Are you sure it is wise to bring these two?

Kenji: Who the hell are they going to tell? Four eyes doesn't have any friends outside of myself, charity case, and Melissa. Charity case, over there spends most of his time with homeless people, trust me these two are as harmless as insects. I need something to help me get through this shitshow!

Momo: Kenji....

Momo sighed and nodded and then turned to her parents who were busy on their devices talking about some deal until they ended the call.

Katashi: Okay, everyone let us go and explore Yaoyorozu Industry.

Masae: Yes, now remember not to stray off.

Mase said which everyone nodded except Kenji who just rolled his eyes.

Kenji: You owe me 2,293 yen Charity case, I told you they wouldn't notice I invited you two.

Daisuke: I thought you were joking about that!

Kenji: I mean you could pay me in a sparring match.

Daisuke then pulls out his wallet and gives Kenji the yen and grumbles a bit.

Nobu: At least this should give me a good understanding of the production of support items. I will need it for my courses.

Daisuke: Good for you, maybe I can ask Kenji's sister and pitch an idea for my charity work.

The duo didn't notice it, but Kenji's eye twitched when both of them seemed interested in talking to his sister on certain topics.

Everyone then heads inside the building and once inside they all saw the process of hero support items being made.

Daisuke: Well this is surprising. So many hero support items.

Nobu: Must you insist on pointing out the obvious? Sometimes silent appreciation is preferred.

Daisuke: Will do Nobu.

Nobu then sees a hero support item that seemed to work with biological quirks.

Nobu: Interesting, I have never seen this model before.......

While both boys are staring at the factory Momo was glaring at their heads with an intense anger present in her eyes.

Momo: I still don't understand how these two are your friends Kenji.

Kenji: I don't know, you're forced to work with people long enough you either start to get along with them or try and kill them. Be glad I only tried to do the latter to one of them.

Momo just bit her lip as they continued the tour.

The next area of the factory everyone saw the designing area.

Masae: Here on the design floor we make sure not only does the hero support item works functionally but also looks fabulous. The saying Elegance is good taste, plus a dash of daring are words to live by.

Momo's mother said being a bit eccentric, so Nobu and Daisuke turned to Kenji.

Kenji: One word out of either of you and Kouta's healing powers won't fix what I do to both of you......

Both of them stayed quiet while Momo was still looking at them angry.

Momo: I don't understand why my brother is associated with these two?

Momo whispered to herself and then her parents led them to the next area of the tour. The area they were now in was the testing area and everyone saw hero support items being pushed to their limits.

Katashi: Welcome to the test area. Our motto for Yaoyorozu Enterprises is to make things last. We push the limit of the item and then find ways to make it stronger and better.

Katashi said as he picked up one of the support items and aimed at the wall and then pressed the trigger which then the support item fired some small object which then turned into a giant safety cushion.

Katashi: We take pride in our items and make sure that the public is getting the best of the best.

Katashi said that Nobu looked at the item he had and was fascinated by it.

Nobu: How intriguing, the design is rather compact yet it is able to hold and fire multiple projectiles that expand into rescue implements.

Daisuke just nods as these hero support items were definitely top of the line. While Nobu and Daisuke just stare at the process Momo was again glaring at them.

Momo thoughts: Why did Kenji bring them? Why are they so close to him?

Daisuke then turns to Kenji.

Daisuke: Dude, if this place can make products like that I can't imagine how many things they could do to help with world and community problems.

Daisuke said looking at the factory as a possible way to help people and more.

Kenji: When is this over? I don't know how much more of this bullshit I can take.........

Kenji asked Kouta for help for this to end.

Masae: Now we are halfway through the tour, let us head to the eating area where our workers eat the best for working so hard.

Masae then leads everyone to the eating area and once there you would mistake the place for a restaurant.

Daisuke: My god....

Daisuke said looking at the spread plus seeing that they had an amazing dessert.

Katashi: We believe that our workers deserve the best in pay and in an eatery. We make sure everyone is treated right no matter their background. Would you believe that most of these workers used to be troubled youth until they came working here?

Katashi said which Daisuke turned to Kenji.

Kenji: My parents started a program for people of troubled backgrounds and it brought a lot of people in after that the workers have always put a lot of effort into this building.

Daisuke: Wow, that's amazing Kenji.

Kenji: Up yours charity case, just another good business move on my parents' part. It's what they're best at, that and supporting Creati over there.

Kenji looks at his sister, which Daisuke then feels bad for and puts his hand on his shoulder. Kenji quickly slaps it off however.

Daisuke: Oww, I was trying to say sorry.

Kenji: Bite me charity case, you'll apologize with a sparring match later.

Daisuke paled and turned to Nobu.

Daisuke: I am going to die.....

Nobu: Sometimes silence is the best course of action Daisuke. Do not worry, I'm sure Kouta will be able to regrow the teeth you lose. If not, I could procure you replacements.

Daisuke just drops his head as he was going to feel pain when they go back to Helheim.

All three of them then walked to the lunch area and started grabbing food and then all three of them sat at a table while Momo and her parents were sitting at another.

Katashi: So honey, how do you like the factory?

Masae: Please tell us how you feel about becoming the CEO once we retire?

Momo didn't hear her parents as she saw Kenji, Daisuke, and Nobu talking casually like they are friends and to her surprise the smallest of smiles on her brother's face. That was something Momo hadn't seen Kenji do in years.

Momo then grips on her silverware tightly but then hears her parents.

Katashi: Momo, are you okay?

Masae: Yes, you seemed to have drifted in your thoughts.

Momo then turned to her parents and then answers.

Momo: Sorry, about that and about how I feel about being the CEO. It's great but what about Kenji?

When Momo said Kenji's name both her parents were confused.

Masae: What about Kenji?

Katashi: Yes, what of your brother?

Both Momo's parents asked why about Kenji.

Momo: I mean Kenji is helping with the family business right?

Momo said, which made them confused even more.

Katashi: Momo, what gave you that impression? Kenji doesn't seem interested in the family business.

Masae: Indeed, we thought it best he found something he would want to do for himself.

When Momo's parents said that she was shocked that they never considered Kenji to be part of the family business.

Momo: I-I don't understand, you never even thought to ask him?

Katashi: I mean he seems okay with it, he seems more interested in that dirt bike of his we thought he would try to go into motocross.

Masae: Yes, he seems to love that bike and we respect his decision to pursue what he enjoys.

Both Momo's parents said, which made her look at them with anger.

Momo: Is that why Kenji doesn't talk to us anymore?

Katashi: What do you mean Momo?

Momo's father asked causing Momo to just stare at her parents with more anger in her eyes.

Momo: You know he's been trying to fix that bike ever since it broke down.

Masae: Oh I see well why didn't he tell us it needs to be fixed?

Momo: He wants it fixed so he can leave the house. He never wants to stay home for long. He's been getting home later and later.

Katashi: Momo, he is just being a teen after all, remember how you and your boyfriend always come home late.

Momo's father said Momo just stares at her father in anger.

Momo: A few weeks before that started he usually would come home with bandages on. I can tell they weren't from an accident, they were from fights.

Momo's mother then looks at her surprised by that statement.

Masae: Are you sure Kenji is fighting? He seems harmless.

Momo: Tsuyu saw him. He took on three teens from a gang with Quirks. All to get a little girl's teddy bear back. One of them had a floating Quirk and was going to drop Kenji before she intervened!

Both Momo's parents looked at Momo in shock.

Katashi: My word, why did not Kenji tell us?

Masae: Yes, why did our son not tell us about this? We would have gone to court to send those people away.

Momo: Kenji tends to say no one around here would care anyway........

Momo said that both of her parents were shocked at that statement.

Katashi: Momo, are you sure he said that?

Masae: Yes, not caring about Kenji being gone. That is preposterous. We love him no matter what.

Momo: Really? Do you remember the last time any of us have seen him smile? I haven't seen it in years, now he's doing extracurricular activities and he's friends with those two. Never had any friends and then starts spending time with them at the exact same time things have been getting weirder.

Katashi: What do you mean Momo?

Momo's father asked Momo to explain what has been happening when they were gone.

Momo: A Quirk Fruit has been making the rounds, however it only seems to turn people into rampaging monsters. Then these four Armored Individuals appear and have been fighting them off. The only theory we have on them is something Kenji brought up........

Both Momo's parents looked surprised to hear about a Quirk Fruit that turns people into monsters.

Masae: Momo what did Kenji tell you?

Momo: He said it was similar to a myth he read about from the Quirkless age. These supposed heroes who used belts to transform and ride motorcycles. They were called Kamen Riders.

When Momo said that Katashi's father got intrigued by that name.

Katashi: Kamen Rider now that name is indeed intriguing. Still, this is very shocking news.

Masae: I agreed so have you been able to stop them, Momo?

Momo: No, they disappear before being caught. One in particular, Baron was able to defeat Dynamight and Ingenium. He seems to be the strongest of the four. From what Kenji was able to get from the news footage we reviewed, all of them are Quirkless. Their power comes from the belts they wear and the locks they plug into them.

Both Momo's parents are shocked by the news that these Armored Individuals are quirkless.

Katashi: Amazing, with that technology to stand against a pro hero imagine people lining up to have one.

Masae: Yes, this would help the quirkless community and if we manage to get the tech we bring honor to our company.

Momo: That's not important! Kenji was saved by Baron! So was Froppy! He nearly died because I was dumb enough to let him go on an investigation!

Momo's parents were again shocked about what Momo said and looked at her for more questions.

Katashi: Kenji almost died!

Masae: My word and he was saved by this Baron as well as your friend. This is indeed shocking.

Both Momo's parents said that which just made Momo madder.

Momo: Is that all that matters to you two? That he encountered one of these Armored Individuals? Not the fact your son, my little brother almost died!

Momo yelled at her parents which shocked both of them.

Katashi: Momo, we are concerned.

Masae: Our boy nearly died but also was saved. I don't see why you are mad?

Momo: I am mad because you haven't been paying attention to Kenji! He has been distant to me and both of you and now I see why. You favor me over him! You always asked me how I am doing, what about Kenji!

Momo said yelled while both parents were taken back and were silent.

Momo: Because of you two my brother doesn't even call me sister always my name! He doesn't view me as a sister, only the golden child! He resents me because of you two! He hates me because you don't give a damn!

When Momo said that last part both her parents were shocked and were silent and then turned to each other.

Katashi: Honey, have we been ignoring our son?

Masae: That can't be right? Can it?

Both of Momo's parents said worriedly until Momo repeated the same question from before.

Momo: When was the last time you saw Kenji smiling?

Momo said which both parents tried to remember and all they got was when Kenji was 11 years old. Both parents became silent as they realized that they neglected their son for 6 years.

Katashi: Oh my god what we have done...

Katashi said shocked and ashamed while Masae was trying not to cry as she ignored her baby boy.

Masae: We ignored our son and now he resents us and our daughter. We hurt Kenji and he doesn't want anything to do with us.

Masae said as she was tearing up as both she and Katashi made a huge mistake that cost them their son.

Momo: I don't know if there is any way to fix it at this point. Kenji will barely hold a conversation with me. He keeps talking about the man who gave him and those other two boys their extracurricular activity.

Momo then turns her head while her parents saw Kenji with Nobu and Daisuke talking.

Katashi: When did those two come on the tour?

Masae: I don't know Honey?

Momo: The boy with the glasses is named Nobu, he's a student at the university, from what Melissa tells me he's the brightest student there. The other one is Daisuke, all I know about him is that he's apparently a charity worker.

Both Momo's parents are confused as to why Kenji would associate with those people.

Katashi: Why would Kenji be friends with a college student and charity worker?

Masae: Yes, indeed this is surprising.

Momo: They met through the man that gave them their assignment. I only caught his name once, Kouta.

Both Momo's parents were curious about Kouta.

Katashi: Kouta huh?

While both parents were curious outside the factory was a white mask man.

White Mask: I am outside of the Yaoyorozu factory. We will begin with the destruction now.

The white-masked then pulled out the Elementary Lockseed then pressed it.

Lockseed: Elementary!

A dimensional zipper then appeared and out came Elementary Inves but before they attacked the White Masked Man pulled out a coin of sorts that was silver in color.

White Mask: This thing better work Q.....

The White Masked Man tossed the coin at one of the Elementary Inves as a coin slot appeared on its head. The coin went into the slot as the Elementary Inves began to mutate. The Elementary then had vines coming out of it that turned into a cocoon once done the cocoon exploded and out came a Gorilla that had the characteristics of a spider.

Gorilla Inves: ROOAAARR!

The Gorilla Inves beats its chest and then turns to the white mask.

White Mask: Destroy and kill everyone inside with no survivors.

The Gorilla Inves nodded and commanded the other Inves and they charged into the factory.

Inside Yaoyorozu Enterprises Factory

Back inside the factory while both Momo's parents were having to come to terms with neglecting their son while Momo just looks at Kenji and his friends who were eating and talking.

Kenji: I'm telling you, I've almost got that thing fixed. Then I can at least get out of that damn house again.

Nobu: I fail to see why you did not ask for my assistance Kenji, a simple motorcycle is child's play for someone with my skill set.

Daisuke: Yeah, plus he probably gives it some cool upgrades.

Kenji: The hell would I need an upgrade for when I have Rose Attacker.

Daisuke then thought about it and then did a face palm.

Daisuke: I retract my statement anyway-

Before Daisuke could finish his sentence everyone in the factory heard an explosion.

Kenji: Looks like there's trouble. Come on, we need to get to the back exit.

Kenji and the rest of the group hear screaming and everyone turns to see that Inves was attacking the factory.

Momo: Mom, dad, get Kenji and his friends out to safety. I will handle these things.

Both her parents nodded and turned to the table only to find them missing.

Katashi: Oh god our son is not here!

Masae: So are his friends, we need to find them!

Momo: Mom, dad get out of here I will find them just go!

Both her parents nodded and Momo sprang into action and created a staff and went after some Inves. While Momo charged at the Inves Kenji, Nobu, and Daisuke were all outside.

Kenji: We better make this quick.

Nobu: I concur, let's not waste any time shall we?

Daisuke: Hell yeah!

Kenji and Daisuke strapped on their Sengoku Drivers, while Nobu used his Genesis Driver. All three of them quickly transformed before Baron led the back in through the exit. Once back inside they saw Inves destroying the machines and hero support items plus attacking the workers.

Duke: I will go to a higher vantage point and supply supporting fire, both of you should meet the enemy head on.

Knuckle: Sounds like a plan.

Baron was already stabbing his way through the Inves while Duke and Knuckle were busy talking. Baron was not in the mood to talk, not when the perfect chance to relieve his stress presented itself to him.

Baron: I'm just getting warmed up! Let's see how you handle this!

Baron pulled out the Mango Lockseed before replaying the Banana Lockseed with it. Baron quickly sliced it in half as a mango dropped down onto his head.

Kenji's Sengoku Driver: Mango Arms!

Baron lifted up his mace before spinning around in a circle at high speeds, knocking away all Inves that dared to approach him.

Knuckle was seen dodging attacks left and right bobbing and weaving and then started throwing jabs, hooks, and uppercuts at the Inves. Each Inves that got close to Knuckle he punched them so hard they exploded.

Duke had fought his way to one of the higher levels of the factory area as he cut down any approaching Inves with his Sonic Arrow. Duke was about to take aim on the Elementary Inves below, but he dodged an attack from a staff. Duke turned to see Creati standing with her staff pointed at him.

Creati: What are you doing here?!

Duke: Isn't it obvious Creati? We're here to take care of this minor infestation. These Elementary Inves were not created through the use of those Quirk Fruits.

Creati: Still it seems too convenient of you to be here when an attack just started!

Duke: We never failed to arrive in order to fight the Inves every previous time, why is it so shocking we would appear this time as well?

Creati got mad and thrust her staff at Duke who cut it in half with his Sonic Arrow.

Duke: Rather testy aren't we? To think this is the thanks we get for safely escorting a trio of teenagers out of this building before coming to assist you.

When Duke said that, Creati looked at him surprised.

Creati: My brother is out as well as his friends?

Duke: Oh? One of them was your brother? Ah, was he the one Baron recognized? I know my colleague can be a bit violent, but he would never let innocent people be put in harm's way.

Creati was surprised by what Duke said but still was trying to believe him until both heard a worker about to be attacked which Duke quickly took aim before firing an energy arrow at the Inves, destroying it.

Duke: So can we please call a temporary truce? It would be beneficial to do so rather than fight each other along with the Inves.

Creati: Fine truce now just get these people out of here!

Duke nodded and both of them started to attack the Inves.

Baron had destroyed a decent amount of the Inves when he spotted a rather large figure crawling across the walls and ceiling of the factory. Baron then looked at the ground only to find out whatever it was, it was stalking his parents.

Katashi: Everyone please leave the area!

Masae: Get to safety everyone. Our daughter will take care of this problem and more heroes are coming.

Katashi and Masae said they were helping with the evacuation but unknown to them something was about to strike at them. Crawling down the wall was the Gorilla Inves and it looked at its prey ready to kill them. The Inves propelled itself towards the married couple with its fists and spider legs ready to strike.

Kenji's Sengoku Driver: Mango Au Lait!

An energy mango slammed into the side of the Gorilla Inves, causing it to get lodged into a wall while both Katashi and Masae turn to see Baron running up to them as fast as he could. Not a simple task given how heavy his mace was.

Baron: Would you two get the hell out of here?! Seriously, you're going to get yourselves killed!

Katashi: But our son is still here plus other people.

Masae: I refuse to leave without my son!

Baron was slightly taken aback as his parents obviously didn't know it was him they were talking to.

Baron's Thoughts: When the hell did they start caring? Must be a spur of the moment thing, they'll forget again once it's all over.

Baron: Look I escorted three teenagers through the back door of the facility, they should be safe out there.

When Baron said that his mother grabbed him and looked at him with a serious expression.

Masae: Our boy is okay?!

Baron: Yes, now will you please let us do our job?!

Masae nodded and turned to her husband and told him they needed to go, which he nodded and both left the factory. Once gone Baron then turns to where he attacked the Inves.

Baron: Alright, better make this quick!

Baron then hears a roar and sees that the Gorilla Inves was back and angry. It beat its chest to show dominance which Baron rolled his eyes.

Baron: Come at me if you're brave enough!

The Gorilla Inves charges towards Baron, who dodges a punch before slamming his mace into the monster's torso. When the attack connected, silver coins spilled out of the wounded area as the Inves stumbled backwards.

Baron: This thing bleeds money? I swear these Inves just keep getting weirder and weirder.

The Gorilla Inves then looks at Baron and as its eyes flash silver as it gets ready to attack as it's fists were encased in webbing. The web fists were launched towards Baron like rockets. Baron smashed one with his mace, but the other one connected with his chest, sending him flying backwards. Baron slammed into a wall as he dropped down onto one knee.

Baron: Okay, this one is a lot stronger than the other ones!

Baron then gets back up and once up he sees an Inves fly pass by him and then explode and turn to where it came from and see Knuckle.

Knuckle: Ha! Knockout!

Baron rolls his eyes before pulling out the Kiwi Lockseed before replacing the Mango Lockseed with it. Baron grabbed the sword on the Sengoku Driver before slicing it in half.

Kenji's Sengoku Driver: Kiwi Arms!

The kiwi dropped down onto Baron's head before unfolding into armor as his disc weapons appeared in his hands.

Baron: Alright, let's try this again!

Knuckle: You want me to help?

Baron: You can, but I'll warn you now this thing is a lot stronger than any other Inves we've fought so far.

Knuckle: Got it.

Knuckle and Baron then turned to the Gorilla Inves who again fired two more web fists at them. Baron threw his disc weapons at the web fists destroying them. Knuckle then grabs the blade on the Sengoku Driver and slices it three times.

Knuckle's Sengoku Driver: Kurumi Sparking!

Knuckles then charges up his fist and then throws four energy walnut blasts at the Gorilla Inves which the Gorilla Inves punches them, destroying the attack.

Knuckle: Fuck did not see that coming...

The Gorilla Inves turned its attention towards Knuckle before letting out an angered roar. It then charged towards them before jumping high into the air. The Gorilla Inves dropped down onto Knuckle before grabbing the Rider before head butting him 3 times. To finish its assault, it slammed Knuckle into a nearby wall.

Knuckle: Owwww....

Sonic Arrow: Lock on!

From his vantage point, Duke pulled back the string of his Sonic Arrow as a large amount of energy gathered into an arrow. Duke fired the arrow, as it impacted the Gorilla Inves's side, causing an explosion. The Gorilla Inves roared in pain as more silver coins spilled from its wounds.

Knuckle then gets back up and looks at the Gorilla Inves.

Knuckle: Why is that Inves popping out coins like a slot machine?

Baron: Shut up and focus! Or do you want to get man handled by it again?

Knuckle: Got it.

Baron then grabs the sword of the Sengoku Driver before performing 2 slices and readying his disc weapons.

Kenji's Sengoku Driver: Kiwi Au Lait!!

Green energy charged the discs as Baron threw them at the Gorilla Inves. The discs slashed it across the chest causing it to stumble backwards with an X-shaped wound on its chest that had more coins spilling out of it as it roared in pain.

Baron then pulled out the Banana Lockseed before replacing the Kiwi Lockseed with it and slicing it.

Kenji's Sengoku Driver: Banana Arms!

The banana dropped down onto Baron's head before unfolding into armor as his spear appeared in his hands once again. Baron then charges towards the Gorilla Inves as he performs one slash on the Sengoku Driver.

Kenji's Sengoku Driver: Banana Squash!!

Baron's spear had a banana made of energy covering it as Baron stabbed the Inves through its chest wound, holding the monster in place.

Baron: What the hell are you waiting for?! Hit him already!!

Knuckle nodded and sliced down on the Sengoku Driver two times.

Knuckle's Sengoku Driver: Kurumi Au Lait!!

Knuckle then charges up his fist and then runs toward the Gorilla Inves and then jumps into the air and then is surrounded by an energy walnut and crashes into the monster causing it to explode into a shower of coins that scattered all across the floor.

Baron: Finally that's over.....

Baron looked up and saw something shiny falling towards him. Baron caught it and looked it over. It was a medal, similar to all the ones that leaked out of that Inves. This one was different, it had a black rim, was silver in color, and depicted a Gorilla on it.

Baron: What the hell? What even is this thing?

Baron then hears sirens and turns to Knuckle and Duke.

Baron: You two head back to Helheim. I'll stay behind.

Knuckle: You sure?

Baron: I told my parents that I escorted myself safely out of the building. I'll go through the back exit and undo my transformation. Duke, do you know where Momo is?

Duke: She left us to handle this issue, she went to ensure the safety of the workers and your parents.

Baron: Alright, I'll visit Kouta and Mai later, there's something I need to talk to them about.

Duke and Knuckle nodded and used the Gate Lockseed and escaped to Helheim and once gone Baron went out the back of the building and dehenshined turning back into Kenji.

Kenji: Alright, hopefully this won't be too much of a shit show.

Kenji then started walking and after a few minutes made his way to the front of the building where he saw Momo and his parents looking around for him.

Kenji: Oh boy.....

Momo and his parents turned to where Kenji was and ran towards him which startled him before being engulfed in a hug by his mother.

Masae: Kenji my baby boy you alright.

Kenji: Would you get off of me?! Are you trying to bruise my ribs or something?!

Kenji then pushes his mother off which his mother looked sad but understood why.

Masae: Kenji I am sorry. I am sorry your father and I were not giving you any attention and not considering how you feel.

Katashi: Yes, I am also sorry for both of us for failing you as parents. We were so caught up with your sister that we forgot our son. For that we are sorry. I know it will take time to have us being a family again but can you find it in your heart to give us another chance?

Kenji's father asked for forgiveness as well as his mother. Kenji just rolled his eyes before walking away from them which made both parents sad.

Kenji: I don't need this.....

Musutafu

Over in the city of Musutafu, people were seen minding their own business. While things were running smoothly a man in a purple poncho, black shirt underneath, black pants, and black combat boots. He had a hood connected to his scarf, obscuring his face. Next to him was a girl with long pinkish blonde hair in a white sweater, red skirt, and white boots. She had on sunglasses and a face mask.

Girl: Do you think Q has gotten a chance to make a Medal Monster or Yummy?

Man: Hopefully not, what's worse is we lost some of the medals when we came here. Which ones are we missing?

The girl pulled out a black binder like object before opening it up to reveal colorful medals on both sides of it.

Girl: We lost Gorilla, Shachi, Tako, Lion, and Sai.

The hooded man let out a groan before leaning back on the bench.

Man: Great.....we better get moving, the longer we sit around, the more time it gives Q to conquer this city.

The girl nodded and both she and the poncho man continued walking.

END

KLigers98: Well today was hectic but also very progressive. Momo made Kenji's parents realize they screwed up big time and then Kenji, Daisuke, and Nobu had to fight an Inves and one that shot out coins. Now with that said I believe we have new guests in Musutafu. Anything to say, buddy?

Tojamaru: That Medal holds far greater power than you can imagine, even if it is a mere replica. Kenji's work as a rider has only become more difficult now that his parents wish to make amends with him. That and this individual that goes by Q seems to have a connection to this new duo that appears to be from out of town.

KLigers98: Yep, and I wonder how things will be in Japan anyway thanks for reading this awesome chapter of My Hero Vigilantes: Return of the armored Riders. Like, comment, and follow for more chapters. Ligers signing off.

Tojamaru: Until our paths cross again everyone!
