[Prompt A: Shocker]

[You find yourself in some kind of military base. It's huge and intimidating. There are enormous open halls, spiraling columns, and a ceiling that feels as tall as the sky itself. Carved into the biggest open wall is the image of an eagle with an eye at it's very center. Something about that thing makes you uneasy, in ways that can't be explained, but stalling out in the open is a bad idea, so probably you should find cover. Patrolling every inch of this place are men in masks and uniforms, holding weapons ranging from assault rifles to swords. They march in an almost robotic cadence, their attention focused and stoic. If you're quick, they will pay you no heed, but if they spot you, a legion of them will be on you in an instant.]

[Best stay quiet.]

[Moving further into the base will lead you to maze-like halls that could almost pass for a medical facility if there wasn't something inherently sinister about it. Sterile walls, bright lights, and instruments that range from medical to outright torture devices can be found in every room. Most of them seem unoccupied for the moment, like they've been used recently and left for clean up.]

[There's one final room at the end of the hall, and from it, is an eruption of chaos and shouting. Within is a strange being which may or may not look familiar, if you've ever run into Hayato's Kamen Rider form, minus some color differences. The voice, as he shouts at the doctors in the room, is clearly not him either.]

[The man surges forward, and starts taking out the doctors as he darts around a large operating table in the center of the room. Strapped to that operating table is an unconscious, but unharmed Ichimonji Hayato.]

[Once the doctors have been dealt with, all of which are laying in heaps on the ground in various states of unconsciousness, the masked man swiftly turns to look at you with apprehension before he straightens up. His voice still sounds wary, but he's not squaring you up to fight.]

You infiltrated in with the others, didn't you? Here- he needs help.

[He will go around and unceremoniously rip off the restraints tying Hayato down. The movement seems to finally rouse him, and he starts to stir.]

I got to him before they could operate, take him and go.

[And without waiting for confirmation, he's already darting out of the room, leaving you with a groggy and shirtless Hayato.]




[Prompt B: Red Wedding (But not that kind)]


[The church was burning. That wasn't how it ended in his memory, but it's hard to deny what he was looking at. The church was on fire and standing behind him, looking on with him, was a small crowd of about a dozen people. All of which are a little worse for the wear, but alive.]

[He tears his eyes from the blaze in time for someone to clap him on the shoulder. He looks up at them bewildered, before someone else walks up and starts to offer him thanks. The entire crowd seems to be taking turns. Hayato, visibly overwhelmed, can hardly keep up with it all.]

If you hadn't brought Kamen Rider

We're so sorry for doubting you, Ichimonji-san

Those Shocker monsters would have surely killed us all without your quick thinking

Thank you so much--

[That's right. While he'd been on location, scouting for a chance to take a photograph of Kamen Rider in action, he'd gotten the distress signal from the others at the church. He was lucky that the frequency also got picked up by Kamen Rider himself, and he'd fled to their rescue with Hayato hot on his heels. Between them both, they were able to save everyone in the church and take care of the Shocker monsters within.]

[It burned now, sealing the end of the fight. Kamen Rider-- Hongo Takeshi, as he'd correctly guessed-- had long rode off into the sunset, leaving him with the after math.]

[All of them survived, and he hadn't been captured by Shocker.]

[But that's not what should have happened, right? No, that's undeniable. He knows the truth, and yet, here he was, shell-shocked and human. As the rest of the survivors left the area, many to get treated at the hospital, Hayato opts to stay on premises as the place burns. Soon a fire-squad should be here. Until then, he turns and regards whoever might been left behind.]

I don't remember seeing you inside.

[It had been a long time since Ruby had lost wandered through a military facility and honestly she hadn't missed it all that much. Atlas hadn't been the most welcoming place and she felt like this wasn't much better.

She manages to slip past the guards without a whole lot of difficulty, which is a relief because she isn't exactly the stealthiest person.

When the chaos erupts she recognizes the Kamen Rider from the Leviathan fight but she hadn't really seen him outside of that and definitely didn't know the connection to Hayato.

...That is until she catches sight of him on the bed. She glances between him and the masked man and gives a shrug.]

I have no idea what you're talking about- But sure- Yeah. came in with the others.

[Her poker face is awful but she's quick to get a hold of Hayato.]

Okay bud, listen up. I promise I'll get you out of here. And I wont even tell Ange about this, so you wont die when we get back either.

[The young man lingering just outside the operating theater pauses when addressed, both hands frozen on his gun. It's a little odd for someone to assume a fourteen-year-old would be infiltrating anything with anyone, after all. The incongruity of Alvin's youth is one of the things that makes him effective as a spy, and for the strangest-looking stranger he's ever seen to cut right through that façade is disconcerting, to say the least.

But when Hongo goes dashing out, leaving Hayato behind, Alvin puts the gun away and hurries in. Recognition stirs in his otherwise hollow expression. Despite his unfortunately reduced size--what a time not to be a big, broad-backed mercenary--Alvin sets to dragging Hayato to the edge of the table and getting an arm draped over his teenage shoulders.]

C'mon, work with me, here.

[He mutters it more to himself than to Hayato, expecting no answer. Already, he's going over his mental map of the place, looking for somewhere close he and Hayato could lie low until the man's good enough to walk on his own. This isn't his first time sneaking around research facilities he definitely has no clearance to visit. There are always empty rooms no one thinks to search at first blush.]

I don't wanna get caught, and I bet neither do you.

[nehan is many things, and maybe death is his most-desired state, but he's not stupid enough to walk right into a burning building just for a chance at that. he knows this is a memory, but would it have hurt him? he doesn't know. he just wouldn't have risked it.

so he watches it burn from the outside, the flames seemingly growing brighter as the sky dims, tugging his coat around himself despite the sweltering heat. then one ear perks up when he's addressed, and he turns his head to look.

it's the man who has been running around, looking like a hero. he raises his eyebrow.]

I was not inside, no.
