This is going to be an issue, that much is obvious... ! <i>Looking around the area and realizing that his movement was pretty much compromised, he had no other choice but to step up his game as well. He sighs, and then takes a deep breath. Looking straight at Malcom and clenching both fists, he keeps his right one against his hip and his left one in an upward position.</i> <b><center>HEN...</center></b> <i>He then presses his left fist against his hip as he points his right hand up into the sky, and for a moment, perhaps the Sun could be seen. His index finger keeps pointing up as he slowly lowers his hand, pointing at Malcom.</i> <b><center>...SHIN</center></b> <i>He swipes with his right arm towards the same side, pressing the fist against his hip once more. He moves his left arm from right to left, returning to his initial pose. A burst of light would cover the man's body; only a single belt would be noticeable around his waist. After just a couple of seconds, the man's body would be covered in a full suit of armor and a helmet with big eye-like visors and antennae. He takes a great jump above it all and makes sure he is standing a few meters away from Malcolm. Turning around, he finally speaks.</i> <b>I'm the Child of the Sun!</b> <i>He keeps both hands pointing forward; his left a bit further ahead.</i> <b>The protector of all living things!</b> <i>Left hand in a diagonal position; right fist over it.</i> <b>Kamen Rider!</b> <i>He swipes with his right in the shape of an X before pointing his arm forward.</i> <b>Black!</b> <i>With a final swipe and a return to his original pose.</i> <b>RX!</b> What do you think? This form of mine isn't as exciting as yours, but it's the only option you left me. <i>That said, the man simply holds his ground.</i>

I didn't put my back into it, so don't worry, that punch wasn't supposed to be that dangerous. <i>He is hit by Malcolm's double straight punches and sent back a few feet back while also letting out a few sparks. After a moment, the man stands up once again and shakes his head with surprise, not expecting that such a hit would get him.</i> You got me there, but since it would be unfair to fight like this, I say it's time to change it up. <i>Kotaro's armor shines once more and once such light goes away, his body becomes bulkier; using black and yellow as its main colors. He changed forms into Robo Rider, who has a strange pistol in his hand.</i> This is Robo Rider; my defenses and power become greater but my speed suffers for it. And this is the Vortech Shooter, it never misses its target, so I would say that it more than makes up for the downsides! <i>[He would point his pistol at Malcolm and shoot with a single energy blast that would hopefully do nothing else but destroy his opponent's defenses.]</i>

<i>He was able to see the punch coming. Ever since his surgery, he was capable of doing things he never thought he himself would ever imagine. And so, he manages to catch the punch of the man with his right hand and only being pushed back by a few inches.</i> Yes, there is no reason to go all out at all. That was really dangerous! I swear that had it been anyone else, they would probably be dead. You should be a bit more careful with that! <i>From this position, Kotaro goes for a simple left hook. Afterwards; he takes some distance and steps around the man. That is, if it lands.</i>

I am not one to back down from battle, but I don't want to have to use my full strength. It may be fatal and that's a no go. I won't go all out here. <i>Kotaro's body shines once again before returning to his human form. The man would stretch out his right arm and move his head from side to side to make sure his neck isn't stiff.</i> That was fun for a quick sparring match, but you're starting to go a bit too serious now! I appreciate it, but just this is good enough. <i>He gives the other man a thumbs up and a confident smile before stepping out of the ring.</i> Maybe we can fight yet again some other time, although I would rather go all out by your side than to do it against you. I'll admit that holding back as I have so far would not be enough for what I know you'll be doing. <i>He waves at the man before making his way out of the gym.</i> See ya! <i>Once he's outside the gym, he takes a moment to breath deeply and think on the events. It seemed that he wasn't the only hero with multiple forms anymore.</i>

I don't think that's ever happened, and I would never allow it to happen as long as I'm alive. Are the &quot;Broodspawn&quot; and &quot;Reapers&quot; part of the Crisis Empire? <i>Whatever Malcom was saying was incredibly confusing, he didn't know what it was exactly he was talking about. He had the idea that, whatever or whoever he was talking about, didn't really have to do with anything he knew.</i> But... I do fight, you would have to tell me what kind of &quot;supernatural&quot; you mean, though. The year... <i>[The man tries to think hard on it, but he wasn't sure himself.]</i> I'm not sure, but it seems to be closer to the 2020s than the 2000s.

<i>The man would look at his knew acquaintance move towards the fighting ring, and with a quick shrug, he decides to do the same. With a new, sudden and possible danger on the horizon and many other unknowns, he should be prepared and ready to go at any time.</i> I have seen strange things before, so I will believe you until something else proves it wrong. So you better not be lying. <i>Smiling at his own words, he tries to show he isn't being very threatening. After all, he had no reason to simply think it's a lie. Despite this, he knows better.</i> Just saying, but if you want to fight then you better not try to shoot me with a gun. Don't feel like dying right now.

What do you mean? &quot;Pre-fall&quot;? And also, why would this place be infested? I get it, it's a big city and some pests are expected but besides that, I'm hoping it's not the &quot;other&quot; kind of infestation, like outwordly invaders. <i>He smiles at the man with his own attempt at humor, even if he is using the very truth and his worries as the subject.</i> And who even runs this place, no idea. If they really do fight and they seem as tough as the last once seemed to be, they must have tons of money.

Let's not go too far however, if you feel like you want to end it then just say you give up. I'll do the same, it's just sparring after all. <i>The man takes a fighting stance and wonders what to do for a moment. He has a clear idea but he would rather not just go into it so quickly. This is a sparring match, nothing too serious yet.</i> Let's go! <i>[Prepared, the man quickly runs up to the man and goes for one quick back kick with his right foot. Following this, he rapidly goes for a right hook; assuming the first one hit.]</i>

<i>A &quot;Nemissary&quot;; the man wonders if these are similar to what he can do. Going from his description then it's very clear, but there is never an easy way to tell.</i> That is... crazy. I can't really believe you are from that far into the future, that's at least 100 years from when I'm from. And yet, here I am in a similar situation. <i>He squints his eyes slightly as he looks around the area, wondering if the past fight had anything to do with that fight before he even got there.</i> You think those &quot;Brood&quot; are somewhere around here? If that's the case then it's for the better to hunt them down and to eliminate them as quickly as possible. There is no time to waste.

<i>Truly, Malcolm's speed was something to see to believe and even then it was hard to keep track of it at all. The kick would make him go into the air for a moment before being headbutted. He felt that, he really did, and this was a show of the power this man has. However, he wasn't done.</i> You're fast, but take this! <i>Kotaro would take this chance while he's in the air to turn his right hand into a fist, which would shine with a bright red light.</i> <center><b>RX PUNCH</b></center> <i>He goes for a simple straight with his right. The punch itself should be strong enough to make the man in front of him break the ground below him.</i>
