Even though Rao told him to not listen, Nimbus possesses an enhanced listening abilities, and because of that he is able to listen what those two are talking about.

An alien rider eh? Cool! If Rao is not attacking him after speaking to him for this long, I guess he is another ally. But he’s saying stuff about aliens coming to invade the earth. That means I’m gonna have to fight more enemies. Oh well, if they’re a threat to humanity, I will fight them no matter what!

He jumped up and walked up to them.

“Sorry guys, I couldn’t help but listen. I AM a Kaizou Ningen after all! I can hear what you guys are talking about from over there. Oh yeah, my name’s Nimbus and I’m also a Kamen Rider. I’m Kamen Rider Victory.”

"Ah, that hits the spot!"

"Ah, so how are you feeling Ms. Mao? Full? Or would you like some more food?" Ryuji offered."

On the road home, Shuji took a look around at the darkened surroundings.

"Wow, I was there a lot longer than I thought." he thought to himself, before looking over to the ramen place that he always passed on the way home.

"What the... what happened there?"

Shaking his head, he decided not to be nosy.

"Besides, the food's lousy there anyways."

Continuing on home, he ran his finger over the cellphone and pager given to him by Reika.

"Well, at least she had a face... I was beginning to think they were some weird cult of mask wearers."

Sighing, Shuji put his head down and focused on getting home faster.

"I don't suppose... your enemy includes some of this... kaijin I've heard about? I think you're telling me this because you trust me, but..."

"What's a kaijin? Yeah I had this feeling that i should trust you. But what?"

"They're coming? Are they going to pick you up and send you home now?"

"Oh. I wish. They're the ones who invaded my home world. They've come to kill me, to prevent me from coming home and driving them out of my home world.

“Sorry guys, I couldn’t help but listen. I AM a Kaizou Ningen after all! I can hear what you guys are talking about from over there. Oh yeah, my name’s Nimbus and I’m also a Kamen Rider. I’m Kamen Rider Victory.”

"Oh dear. Rao, I thought you said he wasnt going to listen into our conversation! Well since the cat's already out of the bag. Yeah nice to meet you, Nimbus. Im Ryuhou Takami. You may also call me... Kamen Rider Taigron."

As night fell, Zhongfu got out of bed and got into the garb he had been wearing before, a black short-sleeved Chinese-styled robe tied at the waist with a purple sash, with white garments under. Opening his hotel window, he looked down and given that he was only on the seventh floor decided to jump out. Leaping to the building across from the hotel, he landed on its roof, landing into a crouch, before jumping forward into a run, leaping off of that building on reaching the edge.

[So let's see if we can get any leads as to who is our enemy and who isn't.]
[Gotcha. Secrecy, stealth, and all that fun stuff.]

Running off the edge of this building, he leaped upwards towards a taller building, demonstrating a lightness skill matched by few modern practicioners.

Nimbus realised that only he himself and the organisation that ‘upgraded’ him knows about his full capabilities. He was enhanced in every way possible. But there was a trade off. He’s got a hidden scar, which is visible when he’s really angry, upset or feeling really negative about something.

“Nice to meet you too. I heard that you’re fighting aliens from outer space or something. I’ll help you and I just want to tell you that I have enemies of my own. They’re from the organisation that upgraded me into this form. I ran away from them, so they’re trying to get me with their kaijins now.”

"Kaijins? How do you mean, upgraded into that form?"

At home in the morning, Shuji woke up and got dressed. Heating himself up some leftovers, Shuji made sure he had pocketed both the beeper and the cellphone.

"I wonder if I'll get a call..."

In a remarkable twist, the phone rang out just after he had finished eating. The caller ID strangely showed his name.

"Hello?"

"Date?"

"Speaking."

"There'll be a van waiting for you five blocks from your apartment. Be there in a five minutes and try not to be followed."

"Got it."

"It's your first day... look sharp kid."

The line went dead and Shuji hurried up and out of his apartment.

"Kaijins? How do you mean, upgraded into that form?"

“You don’t know what a kaijin is? And you’re a Kamen Rider? They’re what we fight. You know, giant humanlike animals who usually attack people. And you know how I’m able to hear you guys talking from over there. That is some of my upgraded abilities. I was a normal human. Not anymore though.”

Then Nimbus lifted his hands up to do the henshin pose.

“VICTORY HENSHIN!”

With a flash, he is now Kamen Rider Victory again.

“V is for VICTORY! KAMEN RIDER VICTORY!”

Flash! Flash! Flash!

That feeling pulsated throughout his mind abruptly causing him to lose concentration.

"This... isn't going to end well."

All the random surges of energy bombarded Hiro's brain. He'd been feeling such things since that day, but he still wasn't used to it. He was suddenly in the air and approaching the pavement at a rapid rate.

Ran smiled as she ate. Maocai seemed to be having plenty of fun playing with the boy... and it was fun to watch, as well.

Arriving at the designated spot, Shuji did one quick look around to make sure he wasn't followed. Once he was sure, he approach the van, which opened the door to reveal the nameless and faceless henchmen he had befriended the day before.

"Hey Date!"

"How's it going?"

"Good, and it's good to see you two." He hops into the back of the van.

"Well, we have a little time, so we figured we talk to you for a bit before you get there for your first day."

"Alright."

"First off, you'll probably be required to watch a video. It's boring, but there'll be a quiz on it later, so don't conk out."

"Right."

"Also, you'll probably ran through the ringer by Mushibre."

"Heh, she can run me anytime."

"Ok." Shuji glanced at the second henchman and shook his head. "Don't go any further with that."

"But...!"

"No." Shuji and the first henchman crossed their arms and glared at the other one in consternation.

"You guys are no fun."

"I'm fun."

"Yeah right."

"You want to try me?!"

"Hey, hey! Knock it off both of you."

"Ahh.. you're right Date. Sorry pal."

"Sorry."

"So what else is there?"

"Lunch~!"

"And leisure time."

"But mostly lunch~!"

"Why is he going like that?"

"He's addicted to takoyaki. It's the chef's special today. Don't worry, by tomorrow he won't be that happy about lunch."

"I see."

"Hey, don't talk about it like it's a bad thing. You haven't had it yet."

"I don't like takoyaki."

"Oni! ONI!"

"..."

And that was how Shuji's first voluntary ride to the Shadowy Organization went.

"Yes?" Ran asked, looking over at the man. A sparkle of amusement was in her eye, but the reat of her face was trying to remain deadpan, with mixed success.

"UGH!" was the sound that escaped Hiro's mouth as he hit the sidewalk with a thud.

The force caused him to skid a few feet before rolling to a stop. He laid there motionless for a while.

"Okay Hiro, stick to the choreography and this shot'll be perfect."

"Right."

"Action!"

"HYA!"

"UGH! Jesus, Hiro... *cough, cough* what the hell... you knocked me across the set!"

"Guh..."


*Grumble, grumble...*

Hiro brought himself to his feet and dusted himself off. His suit was fairly torn and his body ached, but he was relatively unharmed. If he was the same man as a few weeks prior, he probably would have died though. He tossed his shattered glasses aside and picked up his bike. Retrieving a new pair from a compartment, he placed them on his face once again.

"I am hungry once again..."

Once they had arrived, Shuji and the first henchman were quickly putting distance between them and the hysterical second henchman.

"I had no idea he'd take it so bad." Shuji seemed concerned for the man who continued to scream his head off.

"He's a nutjob. He'll calm down once one of the Uppers get tired of him screaming."

"Uppers?"

"Higher-ups, or if you prefer, the people in charge."

"Ah, I see."

"See you later Date. You know the way to Mushibre's office right?"

"Uh..."

The henchman slapped his forehead.

"Of course you don't. I'll take you there and leave you to her. Is that alright?"

"Sure."

"Let's go."

The pair set off for Reika's office.

The trash cans stirred, shook, and finally exploded outwards as Mikael rose up from his resting place, his head pounding sharply for a moment before his advanced biology caught up to the pain and dampened it, body flooding with endorphins and his nervous system began to blot out the pounding head. His dizziness faded, his disorientation evaporated, and finally he was over the worst of it. Drunkeness had faded to hangover and back to sobriety in the span of only a few minutes.

Mikael sighed as he deactivated his armor and returned back to his normal state, after checking to make sure he wasn't being watched, his acute senses probing the alley and surrounding areas for those who might be watching. It was sad, he reflected, that he had to get shitfaced drunk in order to feel normal, to feel like a regular man again. And even then, it passed all too quickly, and with his body the way it was, the loss of restraint was almost too dangerous. He remembered smashing a wall, breaking a car, and finally the stumbling into the trashcans and graceless slumber.

Checking his watch, he established that he must have been out only a few hours, at most, and thanked whatever gods were looking over him to protect him from any searches the police may have enacted. He wasn't sure if there were gods, but he thanked them anyways.

A bottle of water caught his eye. Maybe his "hiding place" hadn't been so perfect after all... Mikael reached down and picked it up and held it to eye level. A thick layer of perspiration covered the exterior of the plastic bottle.

"Ugh... distilled. Flat tasting as all hell..." Mikael whined softly as he unscrewed the cap and polished the bottle off in one long drink. He winced as he tossed the bottle away into one of the conveniently close cans. "Flat, tasteless, completely unrefreshing..." Mikael said to no one in particular. "But at least it was wet."

Stretching his body and popping his joints till he felt limber again, Mikael retraced his steps and returned to his precious bike. After double-checking on the status of the booze, he mounted it and put his helmet on before turning over the engine and throttling it up for a little bit.

After zipping and buttoning up his sporty leather motorcycle jacket (the kind which lacked an actual collar) Mikael kicked the stand up and rolled off, more than a little oblivious to the ramen shop nearby which had a large hole knocked out of one of its walls.

"How many times is this now?"

"Move, move, move, move!" the drill instructor yelled, as several soldiers moved past him and began to jump over low obstacles without touching them with their hands or feet. Among one of these soldiers was Aj, who was beginning his semi-daily training excercise. They did this to continue to keep up with the level of trouble the city always seemed to have, among other places.

As they cleared the low jumping excercises, the soldiers came to a very large wall with ropes hanging down. Immediately strapping their weapons to their shoulders and behind their backs, the men all grabbed a single rope and put their foot to the wall, before beginning to pull themselves over it. Only 3 men were doing this faster than the other soldiers... Aj and 2 other soldiers, one male and one female.

Clearing the first part of the wall, the soldiers swung their legs to the other side of the wall and took hold of the rope again. Now they had to slide down the wall using the rope. In moments, the 3 soldiers pushed off the wall and seemed to fall back, until the rope pulled them towards the wall. The 3 then lightly placed their feet on the wall and pushed away again, as they continued to slide down to the bottom.

"I'm doing much better than I usually do... Alright, if I can keep this up, then I should be in a good position to actually keep up with some of the more physically powerful or speedy foes... I won't let a single one get away." he reassured himself, as they came to the next portion of crawling under low obstacles. The soldiers immediately dropped low to the ground and began to drag themselves along under the very low pass, keeping an eye on the exit ahead.

Upon exitting, they rolled on the floor a moment before finally getting to their feet, where Aj and the 2 soldiers began to leap through rings without touching them, before following up by stepping through several tires on the floor, once again without touching them. It was a bit difficult to actually make sure his feet weren't able to touch the sides of the tires, but he had managed it... And then, came the final part of the course. They had to run through a small river while using the large rock formations sticking from it to avoid enemy fire. Around this time, the remaining soldiers managed to catch up.

"Here we go!" he said, as all of the military people ran down the hill and into the river, now actually carrying their weapons in their hands. The water was a bit colder than it was before, not to mention it was tough to push against the current, but they preservered. Upon coming to the first set of rock formations, several men and women were under attack from paintball rounds, while others hid behind the large rock faces. Looking around, one of them spotted the sniper not too far off, before being forced to take cover.

"Hold on... I got him..." Aj said, as he lowered himself into the water a bit before crawling along slightly. Taking aim with the rifle, he fired the weapon... And nailed the sniper in the chest with a paintball, as he faked his death. Cheering, the soldiers continued on through the river, occasionally dodging another paintball around through whatever means they could, be it hiding among bushes to the side of the river, or hiding in the river itself. Eventually, the people had finally made it to the end, where they all pumped their fists in the air.

"Alright! We did it!" he yelled triumphantly, as they all began to huddle close and give one another high fives... Before the drill instructor's whistle blew. Immediately, the soldiers got into a single file line and stood straight ahead, never focusing on anything else. The man moved forward and began to survey the soldiers one by one to see if any of them had gotten hit during the last part of the segment... And the verdict was...

"Ya'll're like a family to me... I feel like my training efforts haven't gone to waste... BECAUSE YOU ALL PASSED!" he yelled out finally, a few of the soldiers trembling in excitement. While the instructor was there, they couldn't do anything but stand at the attention unless otherwise told. After the instructor saluted them and said they could rest, they began to return to their lodgings.

"Hah... I finally completed the course with an excellent score... Finally." Aj said, as he put his hand to his head and laughed a bit, before walking with the others back to their cabins.

Arriving at Reika's office, Shuji bid the faceless henchman goodbye and knocked on the door.

"Come in," she replied.

Shuji enters quickly.

"Well, I'm here."

"I can see that..." she paused, contemplating something. "At least you're punctual Date."

"Yeah. So, what do I do?"

"First, you'll follow me to the video room, where you'll watch the trainee introduction video, then answer a few questions on it. We'll see after that."

Getting up, she leads Shuji to the video room. Popping the tape in, she leaves him to watch for half an hour. After that, she comes in, gives him the quiz and announces the results.

"Well, you did very well Date. Based on these results, you're ready for the drills."

"That's good." He rubbed his chin. "What would have happened if I had done bad?"

"You'd watch it over and over until you were deemed ready."

"I-I see." He breathed a sigh of relief.

"Don't relax too much, the drills will be hell."

"U-uh... yes."

And so, they head off for the drills...

Ran laughed, somewhere between a giggle and a chuckle. "I guess I don't get out much," she said, "But when I was glaring and she was giving you the eyes... I've never seen anyone squirm like that before."
