Stepping into a new city the young looking man looked around as he rode his bike. He heard rumors of Shocker being seen in the city and of course that meant that Hongo would have to check it out. He wished things didn't go so bad at the school and he could still teach but he had a job to do as Kamen Rider and couldn't let himself keep such a simple normal life like he desired. Working to the smaller parts of the city he hoped to get clues.
It had been a few months since Keisuke had escaped from that base. Shocker, he'd learned, was the name of the group that kidnapped him and changed him. They had taken his human body from him and, had it not been for Kiriko, Keisuke figured he would still be questioning what he was.
Kiriko had left to investigate another part of the country, insisting she'd be fine. She left him with a recent newspaper of another city. The article highlighted brought his attention to sightings of what locals called monsters. Keisuke could only believe it was the work of Shocker.
He sat in a café, reading more articles. The journalist who wrote the initial article that brought him there had disappeared. The witnesses were disappearing one by one. The youth let out a long breath before sipping at the coffee. There was one witness left from the original article: Yamamoto Akiko.
Keisuke stood up and paid for the drink. He folded the newspaper and shoved it into his jacket's inner pocket and stepped back into the city. He would have to find Akiko. Hopefully, before she became the next victim.
He made his way over to Cruiser, the white and red bike looking unassuming. Keisuke knew he only had to press a switch and the hidden turbines would reveal themselves. His father had done well building that motorcycle.
As he straddled the seat, he noticed another bike ride by. The color scheme was similar to Cruiser's, though the body was much different. Keisuke couldn't help but admire it as it went by.
Right, he didn't have much time. He ignited his engine and then pulled away from the shop. Akiko was likely in need of protection.
