A Rider Kick in Marvel ch 61 Edited
Added 2024-06-25 23:00:36 +0000 UTCIt has been a few days since Ace's encounter with the Brotherhood. With Ark's help, the incident has essentially vanished from online platforms, almost as if it never happened. Meanwhile, Peter and Gwen have taken on the responsibility of protecting New York with great enthusiasm. They have significantly improved their skills and are doing an excellent job of keeping the city safe while Ace is away.
He has been diligently focused on advancing his company, and the positive results are becoming increasingly apparent. The exceptional quality and unique specifications of their products have set them apart in the market, resulting in a growing number of satisfied customers. The company's success is a testament to their hard work and dedication, generating significant anticipation and excitement among eager consumers for the exciting lineup of new products in the pipeline.
Fury summoned everyone for a meeting, and Ace arrived accompanied by Horobi and Jin to introduce them to the group. Ace also brought along the specially designed Humagears that he would be lending to Fury. These Humagears, unlike ordinary Ones, were programmed and constructed for espionage purposes, showcasing their potential and advanced capabilities. They were equipped with advanced knowledge to carry out their assigned tasks efficiently, sparking curiosity about what they could achieve.
“Is this where we are meeting?” asked Jin with an amusing smile on his face.
“Be on your best behavior, Jin. We will be working alongside them. It is best we get along.”
“Hai~”
Horobi did not look so enthusiastic compared to Jin. He was still apprehensive about working with other humans besides Ace. His past experiences with humans, filled with betrayal and malice, had left him cautious. “Is this for the best, Ace? We have other ways to take down Hydra instead of relying on them,”
“It is fine, Horobi. SHIELD is important in this world. If we let it be destroyed, it will be quite a hassle. Befriending Nick Fury is also important. Having him as our ally will bring many benefits.”
“If it is your decision, fine. We will still stand by your side.” Horobi is committed to following Ace's commands and will support whatever decision Ace makes. He also stands ready to provide guidance to him when needed. If Ace is confident in his decision, then he should proceed with full assurance.
Ace is happy to see he will have allies no matter what happens. “Thank you, Horobi, for your trust. Then, let’s go in and introduce yourselves. I’m sure they are already waiting.”
“Hahaha! I can’t wait to meet them~” Jin is eager to meet new allies. Horobi remains silent, but his eyes reflect a certain degree of caution. Even if they are to become allies, Horobi is prepared to fight if necessary.
They entered the safe house and saw the same people from the last meeting. Coulson approached Ace to greet him.
“It is nice to see you have arrived, Rider.”
“Nice to see you again, Phil.”
“Are these the Humagears you mentioned?”
“Yes, let me introduce you. This is Horobi and Jin. They are part of Metsuboujinrai.net and are also Kamen Riders.”
Jin stepped forward enthusiastically with a smile on his face. “Hello~ I’m Jin! It is nice to meet you~.”
Horobi acted cold with no emotion. “Horobi, regards.”
The SHIELD agents closely watch their new teammates while Fury examines them more carefully. He has received reports about Metsuboujinrai, suggesting that they work as a pair. As he observes them, he can't shake off a sense of unease. Having seen the aftermath of their attacks on criminal hideouts, he knows that many criminals have died at their hands, with some brutally murdered beyond recognition. Despite one of them smiling like a child, Fury senses the eyes of a killer behind the façade. The other exudes a cold, warrior-like presence. These individuals are undeniably dangerous, but they could potentially become invaluable allies.
Natasha was the first to break the silence. “They are Humagears, right?”
“Yes, Horobi and Jin are Humagears.”
Coulson is still amazed at how similar they are to humans. “I knew they would look like regular people, but I did not think they would be so life-like.”
“Thank you for the compliment.” said Ace, proud of the Humagears.
“I have seen the reports on your activities. Quite ruthless you two are.” said Natasha.
“We also know of your exploits, Fatale.” replied Jin.
“Fatale?” she was confused, not familiar with the name.
Ace answered her confusion. “It is your Rider name.”
She got it, and she quite liked the name.
“Can Humagears become Kamen Riders?” asked Hill.
“Yes, but I don’t just give them all a Driver. Only a few of the Humagears are Kamen Riders.”
“Can you really think for yourselves?”
“Yes, but we follow Ace’s commands—not because we are programmed to, but because of our free will.” replied Horobi.
Hill can sense the hate from Horobi’s voice. “You don’t like us, do you?”
“I just don’t trust humans. They are filled with malice, and I have seen the destruction your kind has caused.”
The SHIELD agents became on guard from Horobi’s words. He could see this and scoffed at them. “But don’t worry, even if humans have so much malice. I have seen some good things. I won’t fight you all as long you don’t betray Ace.”
The agents relaxed. “Noted.” replied Hill.
Now, everyone is acquainted with each other. Fury looks at the other Humagears. “Is this the other Humagears that will solve the manpower?”
“Yes, these eight will be helping you in your operations.”
The Humagears bowed and are ready to serve. “They seem quite robotic.” said Clint.
“Well, they were just recently made, so they don’t are not sentient yet.”
“Are not all Humagears sentient?” asked Melinda May.
“No, not all Humagears can achieve sentience like Jin and Horobi. We call it achieving Singularity. It is when a Humagear begins to question its own existence and will start operating beyond human design.”
“How do they achieve it?”
“I don’t know. Most likely through learning or observation. There is no sure answer.”
“If a Humagear achieves Singularity. A new brother or sister is born~” said Jin.
“I see… and you don’t think it is not dangerous?”
“Why? I actually support it. As long it doesn’t hurt humanity. I encourage a Humagear to reach its Singularity.”
Fury keeps information about Singularity in mind. “It is good to know they won’t turn into a terminator. What can they do?”
“Well, they are programmed to do secretarial work, espionage, and fight when they need to. You can test them if you want.”
“Then, agent Romanoff. Can you spar with one of these Humagears?”
“Sure.”
Ace was quite surprised to find a training area in the safe house. He then gave the command for one of the female-type Humagears to spar with the Black Widow.
“I hope you're ready. What’s your name?” said Nat.
“My name is Mio. Please advise me.” replied the Humagear.
Natasha burst into action, launching a ferocious attack aimed at Mio's chest. Mio swiftly defended herself, blocking the strike with her arms before seizing Natasha's waist with her legs. With a quick and powerful move, she threw Natasha to the ground, swiftly mounting her. Natasha retaliated by kicking Mio off, and both combatants sprang to their feet, warily eyeing each other.
On the side, May was watching the spar, and she was impressed. “That Humagear is good. She moves like a seasons agent.”
Fury was impressed with the Humagears. If all of their capabilities meet these kinds of standards, He should request the Rider for some more.
Natasha and Mio faced off once more, unleashing their full power. Although evenly matched, Natasha's years of experience in the field gave her an edge. She had battled foes stronger than her and survived situations that would have taken down top-level agents. Even the most advanced Humagear couldn't replicate her battle-hardened skills. In an intense clash, Natasha emerged victorious, ultimately subduing Mio and claiming the win in the spar.
“Thank you for your lesson. I have learned a lot.” Mio bowed and thanked Natasha for the spar.
“No problem. I’m going to be on my toes if you are only going to get better.”
“Well, Fury. How did you find the Humagears? Are you satisfied?”
“I’m more than satisfied. With them, the operation should go smoother.”
“I’m glad you’re happy with them.”
“Now, come. We need to discuss our next move.”
Fury presented files to everyone. It contained details of the new mission. “This is the location of the missing components for the Helicarrier. Thanks to the information we got from those Hydra agents. We managed to uncover its location. We need to extract it and destroy any other copies to delay Hydra.”
Jin raised his hand to ask a question. “Are we going to break in?”
“No, you will be infiltrating the compound once you have secured the target. I need you to do one more thing.”
