omegafriends | These Hands Have Not Been Idle

Things have been quiet from the subdimensional plane that Snake Mountain exists on, but that doesn't mean that things have not been busy. No, the overlord of that place has been hard at work and now that work has come to fruition. And at such a happy time, with the Omegafriends in chaos thanks to Lady Blue's handiwork.

Skeletor stands before his newest creation, a machine of twisted black metal and gears, and chuckles darkly to himself. Panthor snarls at his side.

"At last, after weeks of work, it's finally done. All that remains..." a clawed hand emerges from beneath his cloak, holding half of a small purple stone. A trophy from a battle from long ago, and now an important component in his plans, "... is the final piece."

Eye sockets blazing he steps forward and places the Precure Seed into its place at the center of the twisted mechanism. Immediately the device hums to life and begins churning and spinning.

"Yes! It works!" He spins around, sending out the call to his Warriors stationed throughout the city. "Begin the attack!"

One by one the assaults begin as Skeletor's agents located throughout the city surge into action.

The Venture City zoo is thrown into chaos as one of the enclosures explodes outward. Several huge, horned and thick-hided monstrosities charging out and crushing everything in their path.

In the middle of the park, a peaceful artificial lake becomes a scene of panic as a scaley tentacled horror erupts from the middle of it and launches an assault on the unfortunate picnickers.

And even the busy streets of Venture City are not safe. All around vending machines are morphing into bizarre robotic creatures that open fire on the populace with sugary, fizzy explosives!

Watching all of this through the eyes of his scattered Doomseeker's, Skeletor's laughter echoes through his stronghold.

[OOC: You didn't think he was gone, did you? Not even close! Skeletor is taking advantage of the Omegafriends' dissaray to hatch his newest vile scheme! All are welcome to deal with these threats (or cook up your own if you're so inclined). Just note where your characters are and let me know if you need some NPCing of monsters and/or Evil Warriors.

Also, for any of his PC minions reading this feel free to jump in with your own chaos-spreading creations.]

Swiftly after the vending machine's transformations, another transform took place, Tachibana blazing out of his place of work and through the energy field, emerging in his armor. Without hesitation, he pulled out his rouzer and began shooting at the mechanical monstrosities.

It was just one thing after another. Eiji was quick to go on the defensive when everything fell into chaos, transforming and going to help a few civilians get away from one of the vending machines that had chosen to attack them.

"Go, hurry!"

When the last person was ushered away, he had to duck to avoid another fizzy shot.

Tachibana glanced over at the sound of the transform. Another Rider? Here? And one he didn't recognize...?

It was a distraction, one that left him open to an exploding cola bomb that sent him stumbling back.

Another person was fighting too? He punches one of the other rogue vending machines that was going to take a shot at the other.

"Are you okay?"

"I'm fine! Don't get in the way!" Tachibana snapped as he recovered, rouzer snapping up to shoot at the machine aiming at him. "Take the other one, I have this one!" he ordered. He just needed to focus and he couldn't do that with some unknown Rider in the way!

Well, at least he was okay. Eiji then turns back to the other vending machine and engages it in combat once more.

...Someone listening to him for once? Without any argument? Tachibana glanced over once to make sure it wasn't a trick before rushing in, shooting repeatedly before holstering his rouzer and going at the machine in earnest.

...though kicking and punching a machine wasn't working as well as he would have liked. Pulling back slightly, he pulled out a pair of cards, quickly running them across the rouzer.

"Drop. Fire. Burning Smash."

With a yell, he rushed in, jumping into the air to deliver a flaming kick into the center of the anthropomorphized machine.

The voice catches his attention and Eiji turns head a little in time to see the attack while being deadlocked with the other vending machine.

"Whoa."

There was the barest pause as the kick connected, enough for Tachibana to fall back before the possessed pop machine exploded in an over dramatic cloud of fire and smoke.

One down...

He turned to look over so see how the mystery Rider is faring.

Eiji's holding his ground well-enough. Though the vending machine gets in a few hits of its own on him. The Tora Claws unsheathe and he swings them at the machine.

"Hah!"

Huh. His armor has built in weapons?

Don't mind Tachibana just watching, weapon on ready to shoot the hell out of that machine if it looks like it's getting the upper hand.

...or even if there's just a clean opening.

Eiji gets in a few more hits with the claws and it's not long before the vending machine is disoriented enough for him to take out the scanner and finish it off.

Scanning Charge!

"SEEEIYYAAAA!!"

Tachibana held up an arm to block any debris from the likely impending explosion. When it passes, he puts away his rouser, pulling on his buckle to release his transformation, the Ace's panel washing over him.

And thankfully taking all the soda stick with it.

Eiji remains in his transformation even when he finally straightens up from the position he landed in. That took care of that. He turns to Tachibana just as the other drops his transformation.

Ah--thank you for your help."

"I didn't expect there to be a Rider I didn't know in this place," was Tachibana's reply. No pleasantries or formalities, just right to the point.

"Eh? O-oh, you're a Rider too?"

Then again, the helmet design did look similar to Kuwagata.

Tachibana nodded. "Garren," he introduced. "And you are...?"

"I'm OOO, it's nice to meet you."

Another nod. "Like wise."

OOO, huh? Odd name... His eyes narrowed slightly before he nodded once more in understanding. "Because of the belt?" he guessed.

"Ah--something like that."

More like the potential power that came from those coins slotted in the belt.

"A weird name, but not bad, if it makes sense like that."

And it would be odd, having two coin-named Riders.

"What organization do you work for?" He didn't think BOARD had created any others, but if this Rider was here... others must be working on similar projects.

"Organization? Mm... I have worked with an organization but I wouldn't say I am an employee."

Really, it was more like a business arrangement. A very beneficial arrangement at that.

Blink. Blink blink. "You wouldn't? Contract work, then?"

But who would outsource something so important...?

Let's just say a very eccentric businessman who loves his cakes would do just that.

"Something like that."

Tachibana shook his head slightly. Unbelievable... "How many other Riders does that organization have here?" So he wouldn't be caught off guard again....

...how long was the OOO going to stay transformed anyway? ...This wasn't another like Hajime Aikawa, was it?

This is late. I'm sorry.

No worries. Tachibana is mostly just trying to get info from him :)
