Chapter 10
Ace went back to the mansion. Horobi and Jin were waiting for him inside.
"Welcome back, Horobi, Jin. You were successful I presume."
"Yeah, we found the one behind the operation in the docks."
"How did you two figure it out?"
"Well…"
(Flashback)
A group of men were inspecting and loading weapons underneath a warehouse. They were the Russian Mafia. One of the crime organizations operating in New York. They are currently being led by two brothers. Vladimir and Anatoly Ranskahov. They smuggle drugs and run a human trafficking ring. They are currently looking over their men and operations.
"Brother, did you know what happened with the Dogs of Hell," said Anatoly.
"Da, they were beaten badly and most were killed. They were dismembered and beaten to death. Only two men were involved"
"I hear they are coming for us brother. They want to question us. What do we do with them?"
"What do you think? We kill them. I don't care who or how strong they are. If they mess with us. They will be buried six feet under."
.

.
Horobi and Jin were outside of the warehouse. They have been tracking the Russian Mafia for some time now looking for the two brothers.
"Are they around here Horobi?" asked Jin
"If my information is correct. They should be here. Look over there."
Jin looked to where Horobi was directing and saw a couple of Russians standing guard. And from the tattoos on their hand, they seem to be part of the Russian mafia.
Jin smiles seeing they are in the right place. "You are correct, Horobi."
"Let's go, we need to find those two brothers."
"Yes! Hahaha."
Horobi and Jin just casually walk to the entrance of the warehouse. The two guards saw them and tried to stop them.
"Hey this place is—"
Jin pulls out a gun and mercilessly shoots at the two guards. The two guards fell to the ground with a bullet in their skull. The Russians inside heard the gunshots. They armed themselves and checked out the commotion. Other mobs saw Horobi and Jin and stopped them while aiming at them with their guns.
"Stop who the fuck are you two!"
Horobi ignored him and asked. "Where are Vladimir and Anatoly Ranskahov?"
"What does it matter to you? What gives you the right to stroll in her huh!"
Another mob noticed the two men dead on the floor and became alarmed.
"They killed our comrades! Kill them!"
The Russian mafia shoots at Horobi and Jin. They were quick and hid behind pillars and crates.
"Hahaha, this is going to be fun!" Jin shoots at the mobs with precision and each bullet fired strikes a mob.
Horobi gets close and starts hacking at the mobs with his katana. Many mobs drop dead on the floor with their bodies bleeding. Some limbs were sent flying with Horobi's katana and some mobs saw Jin's smiling face as their vision faded to black. Horobi and Jin pushed through the warehouse and as they went deeper more blood and corpses could be seen on their trail.
They reached the base underneath the warehouse and found a small army of Russians aiming their guns at them. The Ranskahov brothers could be seen behind the army overlooking everything. They were furious. Two men just came in and started massacring their men. It was a miracle they didn't command their men to start shooting Horobi and Jin on sight.
"Who are you two? Why did you start massacring my men!" said Vladimir
"We wanted to ask you two for information. But you're men weren't so kind to let us in," responded Horobi
Vladimir now had an idea of who these two were. "So you two must be the ones who were responsible for the Dogs of Hell. I knew you two would come after us. But I did not expect you to be so bold."
"Surrender and tell us what we want and you and your men will live to see tomorrow," said Horobi, his tone not changing.
"Hahaha, and what makes you think we will comply? You come here, enter our territory, kill my men and you ask us to surrender!? Who do you think you are!? I should kill you where you stand."
"Since you won't surrender. Then you have chosen death. For all the malice you have spread. We MetsubouJinrai.net will purge you. Let's go Jin."
"Yes! Horobi." Jin smiles excitedly to fight.
Horobi and Jin take out their Forcerisers and equip them to their waist.
[FORCERISER]
They then took out their Progrisekeys and activated them.
[POISON]
[WING]
"Henshin"
"Henshin!"
They inserted them into their Forcerisers and warning alarms started blaring. A large mechanical scorpion and falcon appeared. This greatly surprised the Russian Mafia and they questioned what they were getting into.
*Warning Alarms*
They both pulled the trigger to open their Progrisekeys.
[FORCERISE]
[STING SCORPION]
[FLYING FALCON]
[BREAKDOWN]
The scorpion covered Horobi and the falcon covered Jin. The scorpion and falcon exploded into parts and covered Horobi and Jin. Horobi is now wearing a purple bodysuit with metallic armor covering his body and connected by cables. The helmet has yellow eyes and attached to his left arm is a stinger resembling a scorpion stinger.
Jin is the same as Horobi but with a pink bodysuit and green eyes. Instead of a stinger. Jin has metallic wings on his back. The Russian Mafias are shocked. They haven't seen something like this before. No, they saw something similar and it was from the Kamen Rider. But they did not have time to think about it.
"Blast them to hell!" Vladimir commanded and the mobs started shooting at Horobi and Jin.
Horobi and Jin retaliated and started attacking the mob.
"Leave the two brothers Jin. Everyone else doesn't matter."
"Roger!"
Jin unfurls his wings and sends feathers made of energy toward the mobs. Many were killed by this stroke alone. Horobi punches and kicks the mobs near him. His strikes were enough to easily destroy their bones and Horobi was aiming at lethal areas. Each of his strikes killed a mob. He uses his stinger to pierce and poison an unfortunate mob. The mob fell to the floor and his insides started to melt and his skin became an unhealthy purple.
The Russian Mafia were scared. Their guns were not working and the two armored men were easily killing them like ants. Anatoly started to panic and ordered a mob beside him.
"Get the rocket launchers!"
The mob immediately nodded and started rushing to get the weapons. He hopes at least the rocket launchers will be able to kill the intruders. Jin took into the air and started flying through the mobs. His wings are razor sharp and when his wings pass through some mobs. They were cut in half. The Russian mobs continue to shoot more desperately while Jin and Horobi continue to decimate them. A group of mobs were holding rocket launchers and they aimed at the Riders.
"Die you son of a bitches!"
The group shot their rockets and they all landed on Jin and Horobi."
"Haha! Take that you son of a bitches!" said Vladimir believing the Riders are finished.
In the smoke, a pair of yellow eyes could be noticed. All of the Russian Mafia's hearts dropped. The dust settles and Horobi and Jin are seen standing unharmed.
"Hahaha, I barely felt that one!" said Jin mocking the Russian mobs' futile resistance.
"No matter what you do. Your fate is to end here tonight." Horobi held the Attache Arrow and Hercules Progrisekey.
[ATTACHE ARROW]
[STRONG]
Horobi inserted the Progrisekey into the Attache Arrow.
[READY TO UTILIZE]
[HERCULES BEETLE'S ABILITY]
Horobi aimed at the group of mobs and fired the Attache Arrow.
[AMAZING, KABAN SHOOT]
The shot created a huge explosion sending the mobs flying. Most of the mobs were caught up in that explosion. Most died but some were lucky enough to survive if you can consider them lucky. They were missing limbs and bleeding heavily. It is a slow and painful death for them. The two brothers survived the explosion and are heavily disorientated. Their visions were blurry and their ears were ringing. Vladimir saw someone slowly walking toward him. He looked up who it was and saw two yellow eyes. Vladimir felt fear as if he was seeing the Grim Reaper.
Horobi grabbed him and slammed him to the wall.
"Please! Please don't kill me!" Vladimir was screaming and wailing.
"Tell me who was behind the drugs, weapons, and trafficking in the docks 2 months ago."
"It was Tombstone! His name is L. Thompson Lincoln. Another crime boss in New York. He was behind the operation!"
"Is that true?" Horobi tightens his hold on Vladimir
"It's true! It's true!" Vladimir started crying even more.
Horobi lets him go. "If I hear your group again. I'll come back and finish the job."
Horobi turns around and walks away. "Let's go Jin."
"Yes~"
(End Flashback)
"That's what happened." Horobi finished narrating his story to Ace.
Ace shuddered. Hearing Horobi and Jin casually kill them made a pit in his stomach. He knows he most likely needs to kill someone someday. But Ace doesn't have it in yet. Ignoring them, killing criminals which he doesn't mind. Ace puts it at the back of his and focuses right now on Horobi's information.
"Tombstone huh… at least we know who it is now. Zea, how goes the surveillance of the two enforcers who were caught."
Izu responded for Zea. "They were released some time ago Ace-sama. All of their charges were dropped."
"Figures, were you able to track them?" Ace asked
"They were last seen entering the Chrysler Building."
"And where is Tombstone's office?"
Izu searched for Tombstone's office on the net and she got a hit. "In the Chrysler Building Ace-sama."
"I guess we have our guy. Too much of a coincidence for the enforcers to be in the same place as Tombstone."
"Are we going to attack him?" asked Horobi, all too eager to draw blood.
"Not yet. Even if we attack him and arrest him. But I have an idea."
…
Chrysler Building Tombstone could be seen looking outside the window overlooking the streets of New York.
*knock knock*
"Come in."
The door opens and Hammerhead walks in. "We have a bit of a problem Boss."
"What is it?" asked Tombstone.
"The Russians were attacked and most of them died, Boss."
"A shame. They were good business partners. Do you know who attacked them?"
"It was only two men, Boss. The Ranskahov brothers survived and right now they are in the hospital stitching them up. They witnessed the whole thing. They called themselves MetsubouJinrai.net. They have this weird armor similar to the Kamen Rider."
"MetsubouJinrai? They also have their own armor? How interesting. Do they have any connections to the Rider?"
"We don't know yet Boss but they are finding you. The brothers snitched on you. They must be coming for you as we speak."
"Then let them come. They can't do anything to me. If they capture me they don't have any evidence to put me behind bars."
"Are you sure Boss? I have seen what they did to the Russians. A lot of bodies were hard to recognize. They won't hesitate to kill you, Boss."
"Thank you for your concern, Hammerhead. You may leave."
Hammerhead silently leaves without saying a word. Tombstone is not afraid of death. He has done many unspeakable things to get to where he is. How could he fear a couple of people wearing armor? He will deal with them as he did to his previous enemies, eliminating them.
"No matter who they are. If they get in my way. They will simply disappear."
"How arrogant for someone who is about to be broken."
Tombstone became alarmed. "Who's there!"
He looked around his office and found nobody. "Is my mind playing tricks on me?"
"No, I am very much real."
Tombstone followed the voice's direction and looked at the window with the view of New York.
"What?" He saw his reflection and suddenly a man in armor stood in front of the reflection.
A hand reached out of the reflection and grabbed Tombstone dragging him in. He was caught off guard and he was thrown away and hit a wall.
"What happened?" Tombstone got up and looked at the perpetrator who grabbed him.
It was a man wearing black armor with golden lines. He had black dark eyes as if staring into the abyss. The armor had a motif of a dragon and on his left arm was a gauntlet shaped like a dragon's head.
"It is time to pay for your crimes, Tombstone."
