Episode 2

Upon their arrival in the next world, Natsumi and Kiva-la found themselves in Shinjuku.

Natsumi looks around. "You know...this reminds me of home."

"I agree." Replied Kiva-la. "It's nice to be somewhere familiar! You can only appear in the middle of a jungle so many times before it gets annoying."

Down the street, a loud, gravelly voice was shouting at someone.

"You thieves!"

Looking in the direction the frustrated cry came from, the intrepid duo found out it was coming from a bike shop. A Kivat-bat was chasing after two men who were running away with some of the shop's wares.

The two watched the spectacle, before looking at each other. This definitely merited investigation.

Upon approaching, though, it became obvious it wasn't a Kivat-bat. "That's a Motorbat!" Whispered Kiva-la. They were within earshot of his wheel-like ears, which heard her gawking at him. He whipped around, his big red compound eyes glaring like headlights. "Yes, I am! Do you have a problem with that!?"

Taking a moment to compose himself, the Motorbat let out a deep sigh. "I apologize- it's been a bit of a rough day, as you probably saw. Are you new around here? I'm pretty sure I'd remember a lady with a Kivat-bat."

"Yes, we are." Stated Natsumi. "Is your shop always stolen from?"

"No- I'm merely the latest in a string of bike shop robberies that have been happening. Enough talk about that, though! I have an extraordinary bike..."

"A bike?" Said Natsumi.

"Yes, a bike. One I built for someone with a Kivat-bat as a partner." Motorbat does a sharp 180 and swoops into his shop. "Now follow me, young ones!"

Natsumi and Kiva-la trade glances, wondering what exactly it could be. They both knew multiple people that used Kivat-bats- at least 4 or 5 in between the two of them. Whatever it was, Motorbat seemed pretty proud of it.

Once inside the shop, Natsumi and Kiva-la were surprised at the sheer amout of motorcycles. There were cup bikes, sports bikes, choppers, dirt bikes and even sidecars.

"Aren't you coming?" Yelled Motorbat from a room in the back.

Upon regrouping with him, the pair saw a bike that was covered by a cloth. Natsumi was certain that this is the bike Motorbat mentioned, and to make sure of it she asks the shop owner. "Is this the bike you were talking about?"

"Indeed! This is the one." He turns around and moves toward the bike. "And this is the second bike that I built for that person."

"A second bike?" Natsumi pursed her lips. This must have been meant for Wataru- Kamen Rider Kiva, partner with Kivat-bat the 3rd. She had met him years ago under less pleasant circumstances; his declaration that Decade had no story irked her somewhat. She definitely had a few choice words for him. "Was this meant for Kiva?"

Upon hearing that, Motorbat turns back and looks at Natsumi. "Yes, Kiva. But that's just his name when he's under the armor of Kivat. I don't know his real name."

"Can you tell where he was?"

Motorbat seems sorrowful when he answers. "Sadly, he and his partner went missing shortly after the Great Demon War that happened 6 years ago, and I haven't seen him since."

"The Great Demon War?" Kiva-la asked incredulously. "Sounds like a bunch of nonsense! If it was so great, I would have heard about it!" She huffs.

"I'm not surprised you haven't heard about it. It was a pretty isolated conflict. 4 years ago, a secret war happened in the pacific ocean between the evil demons (the Apocrypha), the good demons (the Numadae) and the humans. The Apocrypha were so powerful that the Numadae were almost defeated, until Kiva appeared and turned the tables."

"But...why was Kiva there? You said it was pretty isolated." Asked Natsumi.

"If I remember correctly, Kiva was trying to improve relations between the Numadae and Fangire." He gazes at the bike. "During the war, I was saved by him and, as thanks, I built a bike for him. Problem is, I don't know how to reach him."

"I see." Said Natsumi.

A violent, yet short earthquake shook the shop, making her lose her footing. "What!?"

Getting an uneasy feeling about it, Natsumi left to investigate, Kiva-la following. Motorbat trailed behind at a safe distance.

Upon exiting Motorbat's shop, Natsumi found the street had been devastated by the brief, yet powerful tremor. Multiple buildings had been reduced to rubble, and the street was torn up.

In the middle of the destruction stood a lone figure. "Why is it that bad guys have to be so dramatic? Can't they be a little formal for once?" Complained Kiva-la.

The monster was covered in the stained-glass pattern typical of all Fangire; it's wings stuck out from it's shoulders; what parts of the body weren't stained glass were colored crimson, and it's head was that of a bat. Long claws protruded from each of it's fingertips.

"Kiva-la! We have to stop him before he hurts anyone else!"

"Right!" Kiva-la swooped in, kissing Natsumi on the forehead before landing in her outstretched hand. "Henshin!"

A bloom of hearts erupted around Natsumi as she was enveloped in energy, producing the armor of Kamen Rider Kiva-la. She unsheathed her rapier, staring down the Bat Fangire.

"Eh?! She kind of looks like Kiva!" Exclaimed Motorbat, who was watching from above. Squinting as he looked at the Bat Fangire, Motorbat let out a gasp. "That's him! That's the guy who instigated the Great Demon War in the first place!"

"Wait, what?" Said the surprised Natsumi, who then looked back at her foe. An overwhelming malicious energy that was brimming with hatred washed over her- and it was emanating from the Bat Fangire! It walked closer, popping it's neck and flexing it's wings in anticipation.

"Something tells me this guy doesn't like humans- or living things in general," noted Kiva-la.

"Well, that's why we're here- so let's do something about it and see if we can fix his attitude!"

Kiva-la just groaned. Natsumi needed to work on her one-liners.

Natsumi charged towards the Bat Fangire, jumping and slashing downward at it, but...

...the Bat Fangire caught her blade with it's hand, holding the weight of Natsumi briefly before punching her in the gut and sending her flying. Digging her heels and rapier into the ground to slow herself down, Natsumi grit her teeth as sparks were kicked up on the pavement.

As she readied herself for another attack, the Bat Fangire flew towards her, fist ready to hit her again.

The missed attack splintered the already severely damaged road even further, part of it giving way and exposing the sewers beneath the street.

"Yecch! That really reeks! Hurry up so we can go somewhere else, Natsumi-chan!"

"Of all the times to spoiled, it has to be right now!?"

Landing, Natsumi charged straight onwards, but her attack was blocked by the Fangire with its left arm.

It then pushes Natsumi away with its impossible strength, and she springs backward. Her rapier began to crack, and it spread before completely shattering. Inside the mask, Natsumi's eyes widened upon seeing this. Discarding the broken weapon, Natsumi just took a ready stance and hoped she could counter whatever was thrown at her next- like another punch, for instance. The Fangire hadn't been too creative with it's tactics so far.

"Okay, now he's just showing off!" Shouted Kiva-la. "Hey, meathead- if you like being so showy, why don't you try this on for size, huh!?"

Natsumi looks down at Kiva-la. "Eh? What are you talking about?"

"Just watch!" Kiva-la closed her eyes, concentrating. At the same time, the Bat Fangire begins to charge towards Natsumi and raised its right fist, ready to land a blow on her.

Looking up again, Natsumi readied herself again, widening her stance and raising her right leg to block. However, just a moment before the two clashed, Kiva-la quickly opened her eyes, letting out a sharp whistle.

Natsumi's right leg becomes consumed in the ensuing chains, and when they broke, it revealed something on the right leg.

It was the Hell's Gate.

As the two clashed, the clash was so strong that it created a shockwave that threw some of the rubble off the ground. When it stopped, everything was dead silent. Then, a loud splitting noise was heard.

It was coming from the Bat Fangire's right arm.

Backing away as fractures began showing up all over it from being hit with the Hell's Gate, the Bat Fangire yelled in pain while holding it's now useless right arm.

Meanwhile, Natsumi was looking at the Hell's Gate that was on her right leg with pleasant surprise. "Is this…?"

"I got really, angry, and then...it just happened." Kiva-la sheepishly grinned.

Natsumi was rather shocked. "Why'd it take this long to develop!?"

"N-never mind that! Let's finish this jerk!" Shouted Kiva-la enthusiastically, trying to change the subject.

"Right!"

Kiva-la let out
