The Wandering Barista
The sun begins to set as a lone man pedals his way down the path of Inokashira Park. His long hair waving in the wind as he slows himself to a halt. He looks out at the nearby pond with a smile as he throws down his kick stands. The man continues to make sure his bike is stable as he opens up the large compartments above the front and back wheels.
Ah! This should be a nice spot! Perfect for a new blend!
The man speaks to himself as he converts his bike into a makeshift stall of sorts. A sign on it adorned with several coffee beans and reads "The Wandering Barista".
Eito walks through the park in a relaxed stance.
"Hmm?"
He notices the stand and walks over to it.
"Hello."
The man finishes prepping all of his tools as Eito approaches.
Oh my! A customer already!
The man gives an extravagant bow before rising again.
Good evening sir! And welcome to The Wandering Barista! My name is Ryoma Sakamichi, the wandering barista himself!
Eito smiles,amused.
"Good evening to you too."
"So,what do you have?"
"Walks in"
Greetings.

Another! What an economic spot I picked! Ehehehe!
The man laughs shyly as he begins to present his wares.
I serve all sorts of coffees that I've picked up in my travels. I'm also currently working on a new blend. Inspired by this strange world in fact!
The man smiles warmly before looking behind him. He could've sworn he heard a branch snap but it was probably nothing.
"I may be asking for much here but do you have Blue Mountain?"
"Because,man,that thing is fucking good."

chuckle
Just don't let anyone destroy it, I know a place what... well nevermind...
What do you have?
The man ponders for a moment as he reaches into a small drawer. A smile crosses his face after a few moments.
You're in luck sir! It'll be the last batch...ehehehe...I forgot to pick some up before I got sent here.
He hangs his head in shame before laughing it off. He'd proceed to boil the water and get ready to work.
He'd turn to Addalme.
Most of the standard fare. Perhaps I can interest you in my "bike blend"?
thinks...
Alright, I'll try that one.
The man gets to work brewing the men their beverages.
His technique is masterful as he dances around his tools. His arms moving independent from the man as he moves and prepares for the next steps. Before long he presents two steaming cups of Blue Mountain and Bike Blend respectively.
The acidity in the of the Blue melds beautifully with the sweet chocolate aroma of the Bike Blend.
Enjoy gentlemen!
Eito smiles happily as he takes a sip.
"Oh yeah..."
"That definetily hits the spot."
He continues to drink the coffee at a slow pace.
"Okay,you're good."
"How much do I owe you?"
drinks it
Not bad, you are good.
Eh? Um....you guys use yen here right? I've been in India for too long...let me run the converison from rubles to yen.
The man ponders for a moment as another crunch is heard in the distance. The man's eyes shift for a moment.
Erm, two thousand yen? Yeah. Give or take a hundred.
pays him
By the way, who are you? I haven't seen you before.
The man smiles in an attempt to calm his anxieties from the noises.
Ah yes! Well I am Ryoma Sakamichi, a vagabond of sorts. I'd travel across the world with my trusty bike and study the art of coffee!
I'm akechi, but you can call me Addalme, I have to leave, good bye.
Calls Alatreon and Leaves
Oh!
The man is visibly startled by the creature and his eyes narrow. However he quickly shakes it off and waves off the customer.
Ah! Farewall Addalme!
The man sifts through the coin and smiles.
Yes sir! That's plenty!
The sounds seemed to have come to a halt once more.
Hmm...oh! May I ask what ypur profession is? I love learning about new people in my travels! Kind of a pastime of mine.
Eito scratches the back of his head as he glances at the bushes.
"I,uh, work part time at the GYM."
"You see,i'm pretty new to this whole 'Nexus' business."
"So,after ranting to the place's owner for a while,he offered me a job,a room and some training."
suddenly appears behind Eito
Hello! How are you?
The man smiles happily as he leans against his stall.
I'm glad that there are good people in this world. And you said you worked at the gym? It might do me some good to work out at now that I have my bearings once more.
His expression shifts as his smile fades into a frown.
I know all too well that people can be cruel creatures. Using others for their own personal gain...treating humans as tools and weapons. It's sickening really.
The man reels at the appearance of the dragon.
A DRAGON!? WHAT IS THIS PLACE!?
The pair then begin to get the feeling like someone is watching them.
(edited by Ryoma_Sakamichi)
Eito,puts his hand in his jacket,ready to unsheath one of his kukris.
He then hears Kushala behind him and jumps back startled.
"Woah!"
After a few deep breaths,Eito seems to somewhat relax,hand still on his hidden weapon.
"Heya!How are you doing pal?"
What happens? Is the first time you see a dragon?
lies down
Don't worry, I'm not going to eat you.
The man nervously laughs as he tries to catch his breath.
Yes...I only heard of dragons in stories....I never thought I'd see one! And I'm glad you won't eat me...haha...
As the man finally calms his nerves, there comes a large hissing sound from the edge of the forest. There is suddenly a plethora of red eyes glaring at the group. The ground begins to rumble as they all come forward and reveal their forms, massive spiders. These spiders were roughly the size of an SUV and they all had the same design to them; a large skull acting as a helmet and a spinal design that runs down their back to their abdomens.
No.
Ryoma turns around, gripped by fear.
There's no way! How did they find me!?
Eito's eyes widen as he steps back and takes out his kukris.
"What the fuck?!"
prepares to fight
Spiders!?
The group of six spiders continue their approach.
D-Damn it...I thought I could start a new life...but it looks like that was little more than a pipe dream.
He steps back and turns to Eito.
These guys are the hounds of Hell and I'm their target. I guess my boss decided he needed me back. But I refuse! I will never work for Burner!
The man quickly grabs for a strange device, though it looks like the top of a simple Keurig machine with a central cylinder that is filled with water. He brings it to his waist and in a flash of light it becomes fastened by a brown belt. He pushes a button on it and it cries out.
PREHEATING! STANDBY!
The liquid in the cylinder begins to bubble as its temperature rises. Soon a green light comes on and the device speaks again.
READY!
The man grabs a small cup from his pocket before opening the top of his device. He loads the cup and closes the top.
RIDE BLEND!
I'll stand with you guys! Henshin!
He slams his fist down on a large red button as the boiling water begins to change color. The liquid then drips from the bottom of the cylinder and begins to encase the man in the brown liquid. His outfit changes into a simple jumpsuit that is brown with black inlays. He wears a mask with gray compound eyes and a red jewel set just below where his brow would be. The now suited man points at the spiders and speaks.
KAMEN RIDER C! Let's get brewing, shall we?
Two spiders go after Eito and two go after Kushala. They all begin with a stream of web shots in an attempt to bind them. Meanwhile the last two charge at Ryoma.
Attacks the spiders creating a tornado
Don't worry I'll protect you.
Creates a wind barrier around Eito and Ryoma
Eito stands shocked for a moment before sloppily falling to the ground and trying to crawl away from the webs,hoping the wind barrier will protect him.
"Damnit!"
Eito seems incapable of fighting until he takes a deep breath and brings out his phone.Music can be heard from his headphones before he puts them on.
*Sigh*
"Okay,I can do this."
He stands up quickly and starts to run around the spiders in a pattern,trying to avoid any other webs that come at him.
"Bob and weave."

Falls from the sky
Over here! Come!
charges a skill.
The web shots are shredded by the gale and the assault on Ryoma is halted, giving him time to act.
Thanks big guy! Now then, come on Bean Sword!
A brown hilt and handle appears from the cylinder on the man's belt. As he grabs it and pulls it out, some liquid comes along too and forms a blade of black material.
Take this!
Ryoma slices through the wind with a large horizontal slash and leaves heavy wounds on the massive creatures before him. They reel back and leap back into the trees. They launch a volley of web at Ryoma.
--------------------
The spiders that Eito is facing off against have a hard time getting any shots in as he weaves in and out of their sights, causing them to stagger slightly with dizziness.
Kushala on the other hand has on spider leap at him while the other charges at him on the ground. Attempting to limit his movement options and strike.
Addalme appears and begins charging.
I'm going to crush you all.
starts to fly in circles creating a gigant tornado
Eito seems concentrated as he dodges the webs.
"Come on..."
"Aha!
He spots his chance and starts to back away before suddenly running forward,holding his blades in front of him,ready to cut apart any webbing the demonic spiders throw at him.
He seems to be smirking.
carefully, trying to not hurt Kushala, Eito and Ryoma, casts a rain of morning stars
Disappear!
The man pauses for a brief moment as he twists the hilt of his blade a couple clicks. Suddenly the blade cries out.
BEAN GRINDER!
The blade turns back into liquid and changes its shape until it hardens once more. The new form is almost like a shield, however it is made of several thick rotating blades. The new style makes quick work of the coming webs.
It'll take a lot more than that to stop me!
The man begins charging towards the tree line, using his weapon as cover from more incoming webbing.
---------------------------
The Morning Stars do a fair chunk of damage and dissorient the enemies with the hefty strike. Doing so ends up giving Ryoma an opening.
Kushala's tornado makes quick work of the now dazed spiders. It whips them up and batters them a fair bit before they are tossed out onto the ground once more. They can barely stand but they do begin rubbing their front legs together, sending a flurry of razor sharp hairs at the dragon.
On top of being dizzy initially, the Morning Stars made the spiders even more out of it. Eito has free reign on the stunned beasts.
Eito continues his run towards the spider until he reaches them.He seems amused.
"For my first real 'Life Or Death' situation here,this is remarkably easy!"
Anyone with good ears could also hear him mumble "And fun."
Eito raises both his weapons and attempts to slash the closest spider's eyes.If it would work then he would simply move on to the next,blinding them one by one.
Let's finish this.
casts makougaon
attacks with his claws
Eito slashes the eyes of his spiders. In a, quite literally, blind rage they begin firing off razor sharp hairs in every direction. They attempt to listen for the man but are quickly cut off by the wave of light crashing over them. They now lay on the ground heavily wounded and on Death's door. Finish them.
Kushala narrowly avoided the hairs as the wave of light crashes over the spiders and annihilates the attack. Kushala then rushes the weakened spiders with a claw attack which causes them to erupt into black smoke.
--------------------------------
The spiders in the trees drop to the ground from the massive wave of light.
The finisher.
Ryoma presses a button on the base of the sword's handle three times as it cries out.
G-G-GRINDER! THE FINISHER!
The circular blades begin to morph into a set of three massive drills that all run along each other. Ryoma begins charging at the downed spiders.
Bean Grinder: Final Mix!
The man dives forward as he and his blade become a giant drill that becomes engulfed in flames. The drill rushes the spiders and slows as it begins chewing through them.
The resistance finally stops as he pierces the spiders and he stands behind them with the Bean Sword in base form. Suddenly the spiders explode into clouds of black dust.
Heh. I hate this damn suit.
I think is over, but don't let your guard down.
Eito breaths heavily.
"Well,would you look at that?We did it!"
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QjAxrkEAN_w
Ryoma returns to the others as he opens the top of his device and takes out the cup. He reverts back to his normal self as his suit and weapon return to the liquid in the cylinder. Also worth noting is the liquid becomes clear once more.
Whew. You guys okay? Sorry you were dragged into my personal business...haha...ha...
He looks away nervously.
lands
Are you ok?
he walks to ryoma and puts a hand on his shoulder
Don't need to apologize, everyone has his secrets.
Eito walks over to Ryoma.
"It's fine."
"So,how are you.
Eito seems like he wants to ask more but keeps his mouth shut.
The man smiles but brushes off Addalme's hand.
My secrets shouldn't hurt innocent people. Granted, you all performed admirably.
He turns to Eito and flashes him a thumbs up.
No need to worry about me. This isn't my first time against these guys. In fact those were the weakest goons they have...damn Burner! Chasing me to the ends of my world and the next.
"Screw it."
"What the fuck were those things?"
"Who in the nine rings of hell is Burner?"
"Why were they chasing you?"
Alright.
walking to the kushala looks to Eito
You should be carefull, running like an idiot is not always going to work.
touchs one of kushala's wounds
It's alright, you won't die for this.
looks at Addalme
I know... but it hurts! Stop touching!
moves away
The man looks away for a few moments. He couldn't possibly tell these people, but they were already involved. He sighs and looks back to Eito.
Burner is an evil organization from my world. Their goal was world domination and the advancement of human evolution. They used to only create soldiers with superhuman strength, but then they dabbled in altering genetics. They fused people with animals and created horrible abominations...such as the spiders we just fought.
He rubs is left arm with his right hand while shuffling his feet slightly.
I was an experiment. I could've ended up like those creatures, but I was modified for the Rider System. The ultimate human weapon...but I broke free and stole the system! I've been using it to help people while I ran away from Burner.
His arms drop to his sides as he sighs.
They want their revenge. They surely plan to make me suffer. But regardless, that's my story.
So you are a super human? That is hard to see.
Eito gives an amused look to Addalme.
"Sure,but today was the day that it did and for that i'm happy."
He then walks to Ryoma's side and puts his hand on his shoulder.
"Well...I did not expect that to be your answer but..."
"Well,fuck,I don't know how to make this sound reassuring."
*Sigh*
"Are you going to be okay,dude?"
"Because I don't think you can keep going on like this."
"Eventally you'll be too tired to fight back or they're gonna find a way to capture you and do whatever they wanna do."
"What do you wanna do now?"
chuckle
Well, eveyone has a begining.
He frowns at Addalme's comment.
H-Hey! I may not look like much but I am a superhuman! I am a lot more energy efficient and I'm able to process things faster than normal humans.
He's surprised by Eito's response and smiles.
I wouldn't worry about me. So long as I can help people then I'll keep running! And besides...I finally developed a new blend!
He holds up the cup he used initially and brings out his new one for comparison. The first reads, "Ride Blend". And the second reads, "Herbal Ride". The second cup is noticeably smaller which causes the man to sigh.
I'm almost ready to use it. I just need to modify the system. But I will always adapt. I will not lose. I will defeat Burner!
He grins at Eito.
So what do I wanna do right now? Training at this GYM might be nice! But not right now. We should all split up in case they have more goons after me.
"You sure?"
My blood is always boiling thanks to them! I'm positive!
I was meaning what is hard to see a superhuman, but I understand the confusion, my job here is done, bye.
