Attempt At Derailment Gone Wrong

[of_many_treasures]

Kaitou Daiki! Kaitou come out!

Come out Kaitou Daiki!

[The sound of gunshots can be heard from a familiar gun on the community as the camera can't seem to get a fix on the person in question. It seems chaotic, like he's moving rapidly.

For a moment the world blurs around the screen before something is clearly shown on the screen. A wanted poster.]



[Wanted: Dead or Alive. Kaitou Daiki.

Kamen Rider. Enemy of the Entire World.]

I need to get out of here... I'm not ready to handle this...! Anywhere but here...!

[Another gunshot rang out, and the camera blurs as a the person stumbles, and Kaitou's shoes are seen. It's clear that he has stumbled back into his own world, and the camera is seeing from his own eyes as the world twists around him, and he collapses in another world.]

... such bullshit...

Mmm, I know. There's a few things that I need to do first.

There's a lot, across the multiverse. But not many of them have the ability to journey through worlds like I do.

[a_new_innovator]

Well, then we should really get you better so you can take care of that.

[She smiles. She's almost done]

That's interesting. Is it a specific ability given to some of them or is something you could do before?

[of_many_treasures]

[which is good cause Kaitou has trouble keeping still.]

It's... well, you need Rider powers of course. But you basically need the strongest will possible and the desire to leave your world. The split between not having the ability and having the power activates the ability.

[a_new_innovator]

Fascinating. I've never heard of something like, but with the community, I guess anything is possible. I haven't done much world hopping myself.

[And she's patched up the wound and covered the injury with some gauze for any remaining bleeding]

Okay, the bullet's out. Take it easy for a few days if possible and keep it covered. It's stitched up so there won't be much bleeding provided you take it easy. You won't need to go to the hospital to do anything. And take these... [She produces a small bottle of pills from her bag] one twice a day to stave off infection.

[of_many_treasures]

It's one of those things that Riders can do. And Sentai.

Got it. [Holding out his hand for the pills, he added,] Thanks by the way. I don't get stitched up this often and I try to make a habit of not getting shot.

[a_new_innovator]

[She hands him the pills and offers him help sitting up if he needs it] It's no problem. I'm glad I was able to help. I hope you don't make it much of habit, getting shot that is. It can't be much fun.

I can't remember if I've told you before, but I'm Anew. If you need more help, feel free to let me know.

[of_many_treasures]

I get shot at at times, but I usually dodge anyhow. [And gratefully he sat up as well with her help.]

Kaitou Daiki, but you know that by now.

[a_new_innovator]

"Shot at" is still better than being shot. Still terrifying, but less injuries.

Nice to meet you, even if its not the best of circumstances. Is there someone here to help in case you need something?

[of_many_treasures]

This is true. Riders tend to go hand to hand anyhow, or with weapons. Which doesn't make it any better.

Ren's out for the moment so he's not here right now.

[a_new_innovator]

No that doesn't make it easier. However, it is one of the hazards of the job I suppose.

Do you want me to stay until he gets back or do you think you'll be okay?

[She more or less just wants to make sure he doesn't overexert himself so soon after what happened]

[of_many_treasures]

It's how Riders really are. I guess we favor close combat, and kicks mostly.

Sure, I've got nothing better to do but to rest up anyhow. Why don't you tell me about your world?

[a_new_innovator]

I see. More like the action movies?

My world... We've done a lot of exploration into outer space and civilians can travel to the upper levels of the atmosphere. I actually work on a station in space most of the time. There is unfortunately a lot of fighting, mostly with large robots called mobile suits.

[of_many_treasures]

Quite a bit. Our series is actually on television in other worlds, under the heading of Kamen Rider every Sunday morning.

Mobile suits huh... can't say I've run into those, but some Riders have some robots of their own. Some Riders even go into space like Super-1 and Fourze.

[a_new_innovator]

Really? I've heard one other person mention their life was a series. I wonder if mine is as well... that's a strange thing to think about.

Robots are common in my world. Smaller versions are used for repairs and maintenance. The larger ones are used for fighting. That's interesting that there are some who can go to space. Perhaps you could visit at some point. Then you'd get to see space as well.

[of_many_treasures]

It's not known as commonly to most Riders, but there are exceptions.

That'd be interesting. I can teleport in anywhere I want to but it's interesting anyhow.

[a_new_innovator]

The fact that it is a television show?

Well, if you'd like to, I'll see if I can help you get to one of the gravity blocks were you can see it clearly.

[of_many_treasures]

Yes, but I think sometimes it's more of a guideline than anything else.

Oh that sounds like a good idea. I'll try that.

[a_new_innovator]

Interesting. I've never really thought what it would be like for it to be someone else's television show.

Great. Just let me know when and I'll be able to help with that. The gravity blocks are attached to the orbital elevators so they are the safest way to see space.

[of_many_treasures]

I'll introduce you to Kamen Rider later on, if you're willing to watch some of it.

All right, I'm looking forward to it. Being in space huh... must be nice.

[a_new_innovator]

I'd be willing to watch. See what your life is like.

It is. It's very quiet. But you can see the stars, planets, and moon from angles you've never seen. And without the atmosphere to block anything, you feel like you can see forever.

[of_many_treasures]

All right. I'll get you copies sometime soon.

Hmm, that is interesting. It sounds like people in space have a lot more direction in a way, so that they can see their lives before them in a way.

[a_new_innovator]

Sounds good.

[She nods] I think so. There's a lot of possibility of what you can do. Being in space limits where you can go in someways, but it opens up others. I find it also offers opportunities to think.

[of_many_treasures]

Is it very quiet in a sense? Living in space I mean.

[a_new_innovator]

For the most part. It always just seems more quiet no matter what is going on. There are times where it doesn't, but it is very isolated.

[of_many_treasures]

Not surprising since it's a big space. I guess it feels wide and open everywhere you go.
