Rising Pilot!

Chapter 21: Abductions...

After Raito, Aoi, Shiro, and Taiga met the newly revived Jin and encountered an angry Cecilia along with Chifuyu and the others, they all returned to the I.S. Academy...

Raito explained the battle between both ARK and ZEA and the origins of Metsubojinrai.Net to the group...

Taiga and Shiro explained that the CEO of ZAIA is actually the biological father of both Shiro and Taiga, though for Taiga's case nobody was surprised at all, though everyone was surprised that they were siblings...

The comparison between the two siblings as drastic as one was the kind and compassionate person, while the other was a prideful and cocky brat who later changed after having a girlfriend...

Though the similarities began to show after a while as the Siblings walk out and hang out with their respective soulmates...

Taiga quickly accepted the sibling relationship as he sometimes refers to Shiro as "Sis" or "Sister" which was adorable for Shiro, though she had a rough time processing the information that her Mother had revealed, she slowly accepted Taiga and would refer to him as "Bro" or "Brother" since neither knew who was the older sibling considering their sibling relationship was kept a secret but that didn't stop them from being plain old siblings...

Aoi reluctantly accepted Taiga considering what his Dad did to him...

Though Charlotte was ecstatic and accepted her right away!

Both girls would hang out while Aoi and Taiga would soon be good friends...

Raito and Cecilia continued in their relationship besides Cecilia lecturing Raito and made him spill everything he knew through the power of Female Fury...

As soon as Raito spilled all of the information he had Cecilia accepted it and hugged him as she was glad that he was safe after the whole ordeal...

But a few minutes later Raito would be contacted regarding Horobi abducting and taking a HumaGear Hostage near Daybreak Town after Aruto inspected any and all places that have HumaGear employees...

Raito nodded and told Cecilia that this is something that he needs to resolve this on his own...!

So Raito would arrive later on with Horobi's demand...Uchuyaro Raiden's Progrise Key...

Raito stood in front of Horobi who held Midori hostage...

Meanwhile...

Aoi told Taiga, Shiro, and Charlotte that he'll go outside for a walk and some fresh air...

Taiga, Shiro, and Charlotte agreed to let Aoi walk outside for some fresh air and went to their separate rooms, as Taiga would wait for Aoi in their shared room, while Shiro and Charlotte would hang out in their room...

As Aoi walked outside to smell the fresh air and walk to stretch his legs until he saw some flames and was gagged as he tried to resist the arm that held him but he to escape the grip of his kidnapper and slowly blacked out...

He woke up in restraints strapped to a chair...

Aoi: "Huh? What happened? Where am I...!?"

Jin: "Calm down, Vulcan..."

Aoi: "Huh, What the hell!?"

Jin: "I'm going to extract Naki from your transformation chip!"

Aoi: "Like hell, I will let you!"

As he said that a surge of pain within his brain happened and he blacked out almost immediately..!

Jin then proceeded to transfer Naki to a new HumaGear body...

After the transfer was successful Naki walked out with his new body...

Jin welcomed Naki and teleported out of the base along with Aoi...

---Back to Raito and Horobi---

Horobi: "Hand me Raiden's Progrise Key and I will let Midori go..."

Raito: "Horobi, weren't you designed to be a father type HumaGear...?"

Horobi: "Your point?"

Horobi: "I do not care about my designated goal or programming, hand me Raiden's Progrise Key and you can leave with Midori..."

Raito: "I will comply with your demands..."

Raito then threw the Progrise Key to Horobi who caught it and inspected it...

Horobi: "It is the real Key, good..."

Horobi: "Because it would yield terrible outcomes if this was a fake..."

Horobi then lets go of Midori, as she ran towards Raito, but she stopped...

Raito watched her run towards him for safety but she stopped as soon as she almost reached Raito and saw a stinger stabbed through her stomach!

Raito witnessed a stinger stab her through the stomach as she weakly knelt down gasping and inevitably explode...

The teen witnessed Midori's murder and simply shot a glare at Horobi while balling his hand into a fist...

Raito: "Horobi..."

He said with an angered tone...

Raito took out his Zero One Driver but was interrupted before he could transform...

Jin: "I wouldn't transform if I were you..."

Raito looked back and saw Jin in his Rider form dragging Aoi in his Right Hand...

Jin: "Because you value Aoi's life, don't you..."

Raito looked at the unconscious Aoi and then looked at Jin and took off his Zero One Driver...

Raito: "You win..."

The teen said as he disarms himself...

Jin: "But returning him will cost something you know..."

As Raito heard this he gritted his teeth in anger!

Raito: "And what is the cost of getting Aoi back..."

Jin: "Your Rising Hopper Key..."

As soon as Raito heard that he took out and stared his Rising Hopper Key before looking back at the unconscious Aoi...

Raito then stomped his foot on the ground and took a deep breath to calm his mind...

He then threw the Progrise Key to Jin as the Crimson Rider threw Aoi to Raito...

Jin would then stare at the Progrise Key before disappearing into flames along with Horobi as the two terrorists make their escape...

Raito would then drag Aoi back to the academy where he was surrounded by Shiro, Cecilia, and the others as they all had questions about where they were...

But little did they know Raito just let Metsubojinrai.Net revive their previous members while welcoming a new on into their ranks...
