BNHA: Just A Passing-By Kamen Rider

CHAPTER 6

-

“Here’s the script! The situation is that the villains have hidden a nuclear weapon somewhere in their hideout, and the heroes are trying to dispose of that.

Heroes, you will have to catch the villains or get the nuclear weapon back in the allotted time, which is 15 minutes! Villains, you will need to protect the nuclear weapon for the whole time or catch the heroes!

This activity will be a 2v2 setting, so teamwork against comrades will be heavily scored!”

After explaining the rules, he brought out a yellow box with the kanji “lots” printed on it.

“The teams of villain and heroes will be decided with lots!”

“They’re being decided so haphazardly?!”

The glasses boy who was now looking like a white knight with engines installed asked with a rude tone, to which green hair explained with a hint of excitement in his tone.

“Pros often have to create makeshift teams with heroes from other agencies, so maybe that’s why?”

That made sense in Tsukasa’s mind, sometimes you’d have to make a swift team to tackle situations. Oh, they’re drawing lots now. He waits for his name to come up, and when it did, his eyes darted to the pro hero in confusion.

Momo Yaoyorozu & Fumikage Tokoyami (Team C - Hero) VERSUS Tsukasa (Team J - Villain)

… What? Huh, even All Might looked confused. The paper that was supposed to reveal who his teammate is, was blank. He investigated the lot box and took out another piece of paper, to only look more confused. It was blank again.

A few draws of blank papers later, a phone rang with a weird ringtone.

[A MESSAGE IS HERE! ~ ]

Looking at the message, a moment passed before he shoves it back into his pocket.

“Ahem! After much consideration from Aizawa, we’ve decided to place Young Mineta into Team C, while Team J will remain with just Young Tsukasa, to balance the teams!”

“““What?!”””

The students started firing out questions, but Tsukasa just stared at the sweating hero before putting two to two. Ah, Nezu. Alright then, don’t hold back indeed.

“Yeesh, that Todoroki really is strong, that’s so manly!”

The girl with the ponytail just gave her TED TALK of the previous fight, so now it was their time to prepare. Before they left the monitor room, however, he walked up to the two opponents.

“Sorry, but can I take some of your seconds? It’ll be quick.”

Getting his hand ready, he “went” into his pocket-dimension before choosing the item, with it materializing in the real world. Gently placing the thing on the ground, he heard some confused mummers.

“A… spin wheel?”

Tsukasa stared at the spin wheel in front of him with emotion. It didn’t look the best, it wasn’t even built perfectly, but man, he spent a few days to do this with his own hands, this was beautiful in his eyes.

A black spin wheel with a total of 20 gray symbols over a white background with a magenta-colored pointer. A whole lot of duct tape, cardboard, bearings, and time.

“Apologies, but what is this meant to be?”

The ponytail girl, Yaoyorozu if he recalled, asked with confusion. That expression caused him to smirk, as he put his hands into his pockets.

“My support item. I have too many options, so I thought of making this a game to decide which to use.”

The shadow creature of the beak guy came out from his cape before reaching out for the spin wheel.

“Can I? Can I?”

“Dark Shadow!”

“Sure, go ahead.”

With a good tug, the wheel starts to spin, silence surrounding them until it landed on the symbol of a dragon. He smiled as he recalled, this was one of his more favorite Kamen Riders, even if the reviews for the show were not that good. Heck, this was the first series that he watched with Jeff, the one which made him like Tokusatsu .

Keeping it back into his pocket-dimension, he summoned his driver into his coat’s inner pockets before asking All Might.

“Sir, we’re holding it in Building C, right?”

“Y-Yeah…”

The look on his face was interesting, it was more of fear, and then a little bit of awe.

Well, with nothing out of the way, he gave the three a two-finger salute before walking to the building.

Knocking on the faux bomb to feel the material, he looked at the camera stationed on the ceiling looking back at him.

“All Might, I can intercept them at the entrance, right?”

[“Yes, you can, Young Tsukasa. Anything goes other than doing permanent damage to both your classmates and the objective.”]

The earpiece that All Might gave earlier replied to his question. He nods before walking down to the entrance. From the map that was provided, there were three entrances available.

The front door located at the south side, the window east side, and the backdoor at the north side. There was only one stairway per level, however, so that would be a good choke point to hold, even if he wasn’t going to.

Walking down the staircase from the fifth floor to the ground level, he took out some goo grenades, and when he reached the bottom floor, he tossed them in front of the north door and the east window, a burst of goo exploded and hardened, covering the entrances.

With the entrances blocked, there was only one way they could get in.  He even tossed a few per entrance for good measure, from what he saw the ponytail girl had some kind of creation Quirk.

This would slow them down as no one in the right mind would think of using the front entrance first, so after checking the blocked entrances, they would have to head to the south door, wasting a few good seconds of their time.

Having second thoughts, he decided to plant some impact and goo grenades near the staircase, the moment one of them step on the first three staircase steps, the whole thing will go boom and waste them more time. This was a just-in-case measurement if one of them get pass him.

This was the best students of the first-year class, so he should expect the unexpected and not underestimate them. Bringing out a nice wooden chair that he bought a few years ago, he sat down comfortably with his leg over his thigh.

And now, he waits with his Rider Booker in hand, slotting his desired card into the top of the deck before keeping it in his other coat’s inner pocket. This was going to be fun.

With his cheek resting on his fist, his grin widens as he watched the trio go through the entrance. He ignored the purple midget as he leaned forward from his seat.

“Welcome, heroes! I’ve been waiting.”

Standing up from his seat, he keeps the chair back into the pocket-dimension with a touch before looking back at the three who raised their guard. His right arm snaked up to the inner pocket of his coat, causing them to tense their bodies, ready to bounce the moment he attacked.

He instead gave them a chuckle.

“Relax, I’m not going to attack now. This is going to be a demonstration of my true power.”

He looked at the camera stationed on the wall near him.

“My Quirk is Pocket-Dimension, but that’s not the reason why I’m so dangerous. Hell, I won’t use it in this fight because my support item is so damn powerful, made by yours truly.”

[“Huh? Young Tsukasa, what are you — ?”]

“Calm down, All Might, and feel free to continue the timer, it wouldn’t make much of a difference.”

“What? Dangerous?”

People might think that this is arrogance… Yeah, that’s the image that he was trying to project. He was a villain right now after all. They were meant to monologue.

The purple midget says something useless as Ponytail looked utterly confused while Bird-Brain was looking interested.

Taking his driver out, he raised it to show everyone what it was. Not that they’d know until he uses it, but the confusion factor is very delightful to watch.

“Ladies, and gentlemen, may I present the Blackrose Decadriver”

“That’s edgy as hell! Fumi, you have a friend!”

“Dark Shadow, I will gut you!”

Gently placing it to his pelvis, the belt shot out from one end, wrapping itself around his waist and clicked into the other side, hanging tightly on his hips. Connecting the Rider Booker to its slot on the belt, he opened it up and took out a Rider Card and raised it to their eyelevel.

“A card?”

“That symbol! It’s from earlier!”

With his free hand pulling the respective side handle of the driver and making the main central unit turn 90°, he gave them a smirk of utter confidence, causing them to tense their body up subconsciously.

“Henshin.”

Flipping the card, he inserted it into the driver.

[KAMEN RIDE…]

Using both hands, he pushed the two side handles that were outwards back into place, the central unit flipping counterclockwise back into its original position.

[RYUKI!]

Several translucent figures flashed into existence before converging towards him, and in an instant, his outfit changed drastically with the sound of a mirror shattering.

Now, he was wearing a bright red spandex with body armor all over his body with a dragon shaped gauntlet on his left arm. Blood red eyes glowed ominously with his helmet shaped like a dragon’s head, staring towards the trio.

“His clothing changed?!”

“The darkness has covered his body!”

Exhaling tensely with his body relaxing, Tsukasa smirked behind his mask at the shocked expression of his fellow classmates. This was oddly satisfying, he should do this more often.

“Thanks for entertaining me, shall we start the fight now?”
