Scorpion's Journey To Redemption

The Flying Wolf Appears

General Vamp walked into its cave so it could sleep and think of a plan to get rid of the traitor and his companions. Another general walked into the cave, looking around for Vamp. "Are you in here, suckhead?" Vamp sighed, revealing themselves, "Yes, I am in my cave. What do you want, nerd? I'm trying to sleep and strategize how to destroy Kingston and the other heroes." 'Nerd' was a bit upset by that rude remark from Vamp. "Oh, come on, Vamp. You know damn well that I am a genius scientist who can create anything." Vamp rolled their eyes. "The only reason you're a genius is the key from the boss has the data from one of the smartest Riders in history. I should have that power, but mine is much more fun to use in combat." Genius rolled his eyes walking closer to Vamp. "I just came to inform you that I finished the gizmo you asked for, Vamp." Vamp smirked, walking towards the entrance to the cave. "Thanks a lot, nerd. Now I can finally kill the heroes, and lord Ark shall rule the world."

Meanwhile, at Kingston's Electronics, the place was busy with so many customers asking for repairs and setup issues. While the guys were busy working on helping everybody in the store, Izu and Yaiba kept the children busy while their parents were complaining. They started talking about the Kamen Riders that saved the world from the evil Ark. Keith smiled a bit as he suddenly felt someone hugging his leg. He looked down to see Mari hugging his leg tightly. "Hey, my little owl. When did you get back from school?" Mari giggled a bit. "Just a little bit ago. Uncle Gai gave me a ride home because you and daddy Tari were busy helping people." Keith kissed her forehead, walked to Yaiba, and handed Mari to her. "Hey Yaiba, do you think you and Izu can keep an eye on Mari until we close for the day?" Yaiba nodded, holding Mari. "Want to hear about some of the adventures your grandpa and I went on back when we first fought Ark?"

Mari nodded cutely. "Yeah, I do, auntie Yai. Was daddy Keith with you when you and grandpa took down Ark?" Yaiba shook her head no. "No, he wasn't Mari. I wish he were, though, because he's an excellent fighter and an amazing person." Mari nodded, getting sleepy before falling asleep in Yaiba's arms. Yaiba smiled, taking Mari to bed as Lil Thouser followed Yaiba yapping. Izu watched Yaiba recording it for her particular file on human families. A couple of hours went by as Keith locked up the shop for the day, feeling a bit tired. Tari was working in his lab on a detection system when an alarm started to blare. Tari grabbed his Driver and got Keith, Yaiba, and Aruto so they could help deal with the intruder. General Vamp stood outside waiting for the heroes. "About time you losers showed your faces." Keith, Tari, Yaiba, and Aruto put their Drivers on getting ready for a fight. Multiple Progrise Keys went off at the same time. "Jump. Dash. Hop. Blight." Everybody at the same time inserts their Keys. "Transform." The drivers spoke in unison when the Keys activated together, summoning the holographic animals. "A jump to the sky turns into a Rider kick. Try to outrun this demon to get left in the dust. With the ability to command poisonous puppets, the magical warrior Blight is born. A lightning jump into the sky turns to a fiery kick."

After everybody finished transforming, Vamp began to charge at them to start the fight. Aruto and Tari charged at Vamp, unlocking their Attache weapons to keep the general busy, while Keith and Yaiba began to shoot Vamp with their Attache weapons. Vamp kept dodging their attacks flawlessly and smacking them away before grabbing a mysterious briefcase from behind them and turning it into a giant hammer. "Attache Hammer." Vamp laughs maniacally, slamming the hammer into the ground. "Looks like you're not the only ones with Attache weapons." the ground shook violently when the hammer hit the ground, causing everybody except for Vamp to fall. Vamp smirked, inserting their Vampire Key into the Attache Hammer and starting to lift it before slamming it down violently. "Progrise Key confirmed. Coven Slam." The ground shook a lot causing Keith, Tari, Yaiba, and Aruto to revert to normal. The heroes groaned as Vamp laughed, walking towards them to finish the job. Before Vamp could get close enough to deal the final blow, an unknown Rider flew in, knocking Vamp away from the wounded heroes.

Aruto looked at the new Rider with amazement. "Whoa. Who's this new Rider? Did Fuwa's program take over a Driver and make a new key?" Yaiba shook her head no, groaning a bit. "No, because he activated the security system to ensure that Mari and Izu were protected." The new Rider raised their hand to stop the others from helping them. "Stay out of this, you four. I'll protect you as you protect me every day." Keith nodded his head in agreement as he realized who the Rider was. "Alright, we'll let you finish this fight for us, Howler." Vamp scoffed as Howler flew up into the air pressing a button on their Driver. The Howling Driver spoke in a booming voice. "Howling Collision." Howler began to plummet in a spiral motion towards Vamp. Vamp growled, trying to block the attack but failed miserably, getting destroyed as Howler took their Vampire key. Howler turned around, looking at Keith, Tari, Yaiba, and Aruto returning to normal. Howler shrunk down as the Driver hopped off them, yapping a lot. "Hi, daddy Tari, Daddy Keith, Auntie Yai, and Granpa Aru. I'm a hero just like all of you." Tari, Yaiba, and Aruto were all shocked, saying in unison, "What? How were you able to transform just now?"

Mari giggled a lot as Keith picked her up. "She was able to transform because Gai made Lil Thouser into a Driver in case Tari and I was seriously injured." Aruto and Yaiba nodded, standing up in pain and heading back to the shop. Tari scowled, a bit upset about Mari transforming. "Mari, I am distraught with you transforming without permission, little owl." Mari looked down at the ground, a little sad that daddy Tari was upset with her helping them. "I'm sowwy daddy Tari. I was just scared that I would lose both of my daddies." Keith kissed her forehead gently. "I understand you had a good reason to do it, Mari. But at the same time, little owl, if you had gotten seriously hurt, then me and daddy Tari would be very sad, and we would have broken our promise to protect you." Tari sighed, kissing Mari's forehead gently. "Time to get you and Lil Thouser to bed, Mari." Mari nodded, yawning cutely as Keith and Tari headed inside to put Mari in bed. Izu was waiting inside and took the Vampire Key to Tari's lab so that he could fix it for use in a future fight.

Meanwhile, back at the ruined building, Neo-Ark was furious to hear that Vamp disobeyed a direct order and was beaten by a child with no combat training. "Damn you, Vamp. I told you not to attack them, but you got cocky and beaten by a mere child." Genius walked in, bowing before handing Neo-Ark a file. "Here's that file you asked for, my lord. May I ask why you wanted a file on previous Rider villains?" Ark began to read the file, staying silent, dismissing Genius with a wrist flick. Genius still wondered why Ark had suddenly asked for information on former Rider villains. Ark kept reading and mumbled something ominous. "Who should I bring back to help me take over this pathetic world? Ohma Zi-O? Kamen Rider Eternal? ULF-0? So many choices, so little time."
