Exploration Kita!
Gentaro is walking around the Rabbit Hutch, passing by a picture resembling himself, and a cute picture of a cat. He stands in a room darkened, and unfamiliar to him. In the center is a panel, on the panel is a port that emits a dim red light.
I don't remember this being here! Time to investigate! Maybe it has something to do with this new Rabbit Hutch!
After trying various things, Gentaro is dumbfounded. He steps out of the Rabbit Hutch through the Cosmic Gate, into Genmcade where he squats against a wall, taking a drink from a water bottle.
An excited Emu steps into the arcade and looks around at all the games. He runs from cabinet to cabinet loudly exclaiming the names of all the games.
This is amamzing! Why didn't Genm tell me he opened an arcade?!?
Gentaro stands up and looks around excitedly, intrigued by the new voice,
and potential new bud.
Oi, you know the boss!? That's cool! He let's me stay here, as long as I pay him!
Emu Looks over to the excited individual as he waves. He then gives Gen a somewhat curious look as he mentions his deal with Genm.
Stay here? I didn't know Genm could be so generous about things like that. Are you sure we're talking about the same person?
Yeah! He's not been here since I moved in, but as long as I pay him I get the closet to myself!
Gentaro beams happily as he recalls fond memories of the two conversations he and Genm had.
Emu walks up to a arcade machine and puts a coin in. He begins playing as he talks to Gen without even looking.
You should be careful. Genm is a friend but I know better then to trust him too easily. He's not the type of person to do something nice for someone usually without an ulterior motive.
Emu stops playing the game for a moment as he looks at Gen with suprise.
Wait, did you say closet? You're living in a closet?
I say the closet, but it's more like the closet LEADS to where I live!
Gentaro grins as though nothing is wrong with his logic.
A certain cat rolls into the closet, action movie style. Why? Why not?
Gentaro gives up trying to hold a conversation, as Emu is very invested in his game.
Time to go check out that weird panel... Maybe something's changed!
Gen goes through the closet to the Rabbit Hutch.
Nothing beats that fresh space air!
Cait stops his rolling and puts his hat back on.
What's goin' on, nya?
Gentaro grins at his bud.
I've found a new room! One that wasn't there from where I come from! It has this weird panel in it, I haven't been able to figure out what it does though!
A panel? Lemme see! Maybe it just needs a good ol' demon to check it out!
Gentaro leads Cait into the dark room with the panel in it. In the center is a dim red glow. The glow appears to be coming from a square shaped depression on the panel.
I haven't tried putting any switches into the panel yet... I don't want to risk maybe destroying it!
Hmmm...
Cait does his go-to method of investigating: poking the panel with his sword.
The panel doesn't respond, making metallic pinging noises, as metal does when poked with a sword.
Alright! I'm gonna go all in!
Gentaro slams the Cosmic Switch into the panel, as he does so the panel begins to light up with various buttons, switches, and graphs. The red glow is replaced with a bright blue flash.
I don't know what's going on, but I think it's working!
Emu finally finishes beating 3 of the cabinets at the arcade while just barely getting the second highest score under a name with the initial PAR. He sighs as he wipes the sweat from his brow. Suddenly he looks over to the closet curious of what Gen said earlier. He looks around before approaching the closet and opening the door slowly as he steps inside to take a look.
Emu is met with a bright prismatic expanse.
All these buttons, let's see... "M-Sphere Control". M-Sphere? What's that...?
Emu Looks around with surprise as he walks around the area to see if it's actually real.
What is this? Are we in some kind of stage change? Or is this some new VR game like Kamen Rider Chronicle?
As Emu wanders around he eventually comes to a white sliding door, which opens as he approaches it. Behind the door is a wide open room, some two pictures hung on the wall. One of Gentaro, and one of Cait. In the distance, Emu can hear a loud whirring noise and someone talking to himself.
"M-Sphere Authorization"? Maybe there's a manual or something, cause I've never heard of any M-Sphere in the Rabbit Hutch!
Whoa... I wanna press 'em all...
The demon cat reaches for the M-Sphere button...
Emu stares at the pictures for a moment before hearing his name and walking towards the sound.
M? Does someone here know my gamer name?
Gentaro panics and tries to push Cait's hand away, but inadvertently hits the button himself. A large screen with a logo resembling a wheel with a wing on it turns on above the panel. The ground that Gentaro and Cait are standing on begins to shift to the side, Gentaro quickly grabs the Cosmic Switch from the panel as a chair rises from the area where Gentaro and Cait were standing. A loud voice rings out.
[Meteor scan, ready? OK Scanning!]
Cait hops out of the chair's way and points his sword at it.
Whoa! What's this, nya?
Meteor? I think I have an idea what this does now! This means my bud might be out there! I'll have to keep an eye on this, maybe I'll know when my bud shows up in the Nexus!
Gentaro stares hopefully at the logo, which has the words "Scanning..." beneath it.
Cait hops onto the chair to get a better look.
What's it scanning, by the way?
I'd guess it's looking for the meteor switch. After all, this symbol was on most of Ryuusei's stuff!
Gentaro fetches a blanket and some water, he bundles up in the chair.
Get some rest! I'll keep watch!
Gentaro has fallen asleep watching the screen, but the monitor that once read "Scanning" now flashes a bright blue.
[Meteor located! Ready? OK! Awaiting confirmation!]
The screen now reads "Awaiting Switch Pairing".
Taiga wanders around the base, god only knows why Genm's place lead up here... But it's certainly worth investigating. Either way he stumbles upon the control room, Meteor huh.. That sounds a bit familiar, but he can't place the name. Taiga decides to simply call out and see what the owner will say.
"Oi, you going to wake up over there? Name's Taiga Hanaya and I'm curious why an arcade has an entry to a moon base... Seems like something a Bugster might have honestly."
He eyes the sleeping boy for a response. And holds onto a Gashat in his pocket, if there's a fight to be had Taiga is ready.
Gentaro stays asleep, mumbling to himself.
Kengo... don't eat the planetarium... Yuuki will be upset...
A cat wearing a hat wakes up from his little blanket/pillow haven in the corner.
Oh hey, a guy. Nice.
He sleepily retreats back into the blanket.
Taiga sighs... And presses a button on his Gashat. An electronic voice yells out.
"BANG BANG SHOOTING!"
Rather than actually transform he simply allows the hologram to vanish, can't believe it's come to this.
"Yo kid, time to get up or I'll have to get water or something. Like I said, what is this place and why's Genm's arcade have a way to it?"
(edited by Kamen-Rider-Snipe)
Gentaro gets up groggily, not fully awake.
This place is Rabbit Hutch, I paid the owner of the arcade to use his closet... it's a door to this place...
... Taiga still wonders how the hell that works, but he doesn't seem to be a Bugster or something so that's good.
"I see then, well it's nice to meet you I guess... Gotta wonder why the hell you've got this place and all, but hey I was wondering if you were a monster at first. Not like moon bases are something most humans have right?"
He smiles slightly and looks around, weirdness aside this place seems pretty interesting. And that cat... The who fought against Hans before, curious he'd be here.
Well it's not mine if you're asking... it's my bud's!
Gentaro seems to have completely waken up, but he still hasn't noticed the screen's change.
Nice to meet'cha!
It's been a few hours since the man first appeared within the bustling streets of Shibuya. Be it divine intervention, fate, or some other phenomena bringing him to this world, the man would get up and dust himself off and gathering his bearings.
"Where on Earth am I? Just a moment ago I was with the others...and now?"
As he begins to form theories as to his current whereabouts, a familiar beeping breaks his focus. Rolling out from behind a building comes a small droid made in the image of a burger. The small droid begins hopping and spinning as if to get the man's attention.
"Burgermeal?"
With a nod, the small droid would dart off through the alley it was in and causing the man to give chase. After a few minutes of chasing, the droid rolls into an arcade and leaves the man's sight. Now alone in front of the building, he reads the sign.
"Genmcade huh? What's Burgermeal doing in a place like this?"
With a shrug he steps through the door and looks around. Cabinets and cabinets and...a strikingly familiar sensation coming from a closet?
"No way..."
Upon noticing the closet he'd run straight for it and toss open the door. As soon as he does he is met with a blinding light which causes him to grin.
"What a twist of fate. Why is the Hutch bound to this place?"
Without a second thought he walks through the passageway and into the Rabbit Hutch. Walking into the main room he notices the others.
"Made another friend, Kisaragi?"
The cat pokes his head out of the blankets upon the new person's arrival. He looks up at Gentaro.
Friend of yours, nya?
Taiga points to the screen with a curious look, perhaps this guy knows more about it?
"So is that video feed important to you or something? Meteor sounds... I dunno, but the name seems like I've heard it somewhere before now."
He turns to Ryusei, the man seems to know Gentaro. Maybe he's the bud that owns this place? Either way, he definitely knows what this Rabbit Hutch is at least. Curious indeed.
"Dunno if I'd go that far, but the name's Taiga Hanaya pleasure to meet you I'm sure. Seems like you've been around here pretty often eh?"
Gentaro's lips curl up at the end as he hears the new guest's voice.
Yeah, actually TWO since I've gotten here...
Gentaro then gets out of the chair to face Ryuusei.
But there's nothing more satisfying than meeting an old bud again! How are you, you sly dog!?
Gentaro then shoots finger guns at Taiga.
I live here actually!
(edited by Gentaro_Kisaragi)
He merely grins at Gentaro.
"Well, I'd be disappointed if you hadn't made any new friends in this place. And I'm fine, save for not knowing how I got here."
He'd turn and bow his head to Taiga.
"Likewise, and most likely. This place is almost a second home to me."
He looks around and notices a few changes from what he's accustomed to.
"Granted this place seems to have changed."
Gentaro points at the monitor, taking a second before realizing it had changed.
I think this has something to do with you! It's called the "M-Sphere" or something, but it has your logo! It's one of the new places here!
Taiga stares at the boy Gentaro is speaking to... That logo.
Almost like their Rider emblems? Could that be it. Might as well stick around to try and find out.[/i
"Interesting, that's certainly new to me. Which is saying a lot honestly, so what's the deal with you two anyways? A moon base weird logo and who knows what else. If I didn't know any better I'd think you're superheros or something. Crazy right?"
[i]The look on his face and the tone in his voice say that he certainly doesn't think it's crazy. The man absently toys with his Gashat inside the coat and leans back on a wall. Chances are these two are something special alright.
"M-Sphere?"
Walking over to the monitor, the man would inspect the screen.
"Switch pairing, huh?"
Noticing a small slot near the monitor, he'd reach into his pocket and retrieve a small blue object. Rolling it around in his hand for a few seconds, the man would turn to Gentaro.
"I'm going to try my switch now. Get ready."
Turning back to the monitor he'd pop his switch into the slot and switch it on.
Meteor on! Ready? OK!
After the quick announcement, the entire room that they're in begins to rotate slowly, the walls shift up and down as it does. The screen reads "Calibrating...".
[ Meteor standby! ]
I don't know why we'd need this, but it seems very useful!
He glances at the computer again, seems like it's doing something interesting now.
"Useful eh? So is that thing like a Gashat or something? I've never quite seen this... But your tech seems kinda like the stuff I use, never seen anyone but a Kamen Rider who's gear loves saying so much."
Taiga looks between the two and raises his eyebrows, they're not being subtle about this at all. But he guesses they shouldn't have to on a moon base.
(edited by Kamen-Rider-Snipe)
Taken slightly aback by the room moving he quickly glances back at the screen.
"Calibrating? M-Sphere, is this facility purely the Rabbit Hutch's personal M-Bus?"
He lets out a sigh of relief.
"I hadn't even tried transforming yet, so thank goodness I don't need to worry about that!"
His eyes go wide as the man mentions Kamen Riders.
"You know about Kamen Riders, Taiga? Or rather, are you one yourself?"
He draws his Gashat and smirks, it's fairly obvious he uses it to transform from examining the thing. At least in this context.
"Yeah, Kamen Rider Snipe, not sure about you guys but I used to fight Bugsters. Around here I just kinda do whatever I can to help though, this so called Nexus has no shortage of problems sadly. Anyways guess it'll be interesting working with you guys if we get a chance hmm? I'm not the most powerful Rider, but I can handle myself."
Well that, and pretty soon here he should be a bit stronger than he is now. No gameplay spoilers though.
Gentaro perks up at hearing that Taiga was in fact a Kamen Rider.
Oh, then I need to properly introduce myself! I'm Gentaro Kisaragi, Kamen Rider Fouze, and I'm the man who will befriend every Kamen Rider! Let's get along!
With a nod, the man bows his head to Taiga once more.
"I am also a Kamen Rider. Ryusei Sakuta, Kamen Rider Meteor, pleased to meet you properly Taiga!"
Taiga smiles and nods. He can't think of any reason to avoid getting along with them, Kamen Riders should stick together after all.
"Yeah, I'm always willing to work with people if it'll help... Well I am now at least, but that's a story for another time. Either way I'm looking forward to seeing you guys in action!"
He gives Taiga a cocky smirk.
"Likewise. Just be sure to keep up with us, okay old man? Heh."
Taiga chuckles and spins Bang Bang Shooting around his fingers.
"Keep up? Don't underestimate me, I've fought some pretty nasty things after all... Knowing how it goes with Riders you have too, but I'm pretty confident in my skills. As for my power?"
He draws an unlabeled cartridge from his coat, showing Ryusei for a moment with a smirk of his own.
"This baby gets stronger the more I use it, and one more fight or so it'll be as strong as it gets. So even if I'm not that strong now... Pretty soon here I should be on their level. Heh, level."
It sounds as though level has more than one meaning here. Though perhaps he's simply amused for some other reason?
With a shrug the man looks at Taiga with a grin.
"Good to hear you aren't just talk, Taiga! I look forward to working alongside you in the future. Maybe I'll learn a thing or two?"
Gentaro, tired of holding out from the conversation, bursts into a question.
DO YOU LIKE SPACE!?
Heavily startled by Gentaro, the man falls backwards and bumps into the monitor.
"GAH! Kisaragi! Inside voices please. However, space is awesome!"
He looks dumbfounded at Gen for a moment, that's... Not expected.
"Space? I've never focused on it much but yeah, space is pretty interesting. Even if there isn't any life out there or anything it's definitely full of surprises. I've never been to space before now... But yeah I'd say it's pretty amazing."
Space huh? Not many people can say they've been up here. And it's sure as hell an interesting view to say the least, especially that madhouse they live on.
Good answers!
Gentaro pats them both on the back.
Now, Ryusei... I think we should find out what this M-Sphere can do!
A sudden wave of dizziness grips the man as he tries to steady himself.
"Sorry Kisaragi. With all that's happened today, I'm pretty exhausted. Waking up in the middle of a city that I didn't know and chasing Burgermeal to find that arcade really did a number on me. Sorry!"
Leaving his Meteor Switch behind, he would walk slowly and carefully to an open bunk in the next room. And in a matter of moments he was out like a light.
I don't blame you! Get some rest bud!
Gentaro then jumps into an adjacent bed, in an attempt to make up for the sleep lost from watching the screen.
Taiga sighs and walls out the doors, seems these two need rest... He was thinking about trying to get a training fight in,
but it'll have to wait. And with that he departs the place for now, sure to come back later given how things went.
