Tokusatsu: How come this knight drama is different?!

A figure in black and white slowly emerged from behind Yaz.

"That's?! The one from last time?!" Hiden Aruto stared in shock at the suddenly appearing figure, then decisively rejected his own judgment. "No, that's not right, the aura is different, and... the one from last time was silver-white..."

Yak slowly walked out of Zaia Company, raised his hand, and opened his palm towards Mie and Xun.

The expressions on Mie and Xun's faces became even more pained.

Correspondingly, the red light in their eyes deepened, becoming even more crimson...

Uncontrollably, Mie and Xun walked toward Ark. Then, they took the keys from their belts and presented them to Ark with both hands.

Fuwa and Hiden Aruto's intuitions were frantically warning them.

Fuwa grabbed Hiden Aruto's arm, but to his surprise, Aruto didn't leave. Instead, he looked at Ark's figure as he received the key and murmured:

"I feel like I've seen it somewhere before?"

Fuwa was startled for a moment, then turned to look at Hiden Aruto.

Hiden Aruto took a deep breath, looked at the person holding two keys and absorbing their energy, and asked in a serious tone:

"I feel like I've seen you... more than ten years ago... right?"

Ark raised his head and looked calmly at Hiden Aruto: "Ah, of course, after all..."

The Humagear riots twelve years ago...

It was my fault.

As Ark finished speaking, Hiden Aruto and Fuwa both froze in place.

One recalled the scene of his Humagear father standing in front of him.

One recalled the tragic experience of being chased by a group of Humagear prototypes at school...

Then, the screen switched back to a grayscale color...

Twelve years ago...

Chapter 106 You've got a second chance at life.jpg [Part Three]

Having grown a bit older, Yu Che immediately returned home on his hard-won day of rest.

At home, Nanako had already prepared a sumptuous meal for Yutetsu.

At the dinner table, Nanako asked Yu Che about acting and movies with a smile, and Yu Che answered her questions one by one, creating a very harmonious atmosphere...

However, an unexpected change occurred...

Nanako's eyes suddenly turned blood red.

Then, Nanako covered her head and swept the dishes on the table aside.

Yu Che was terrified, but that wasn't all. After destroying all the furniture in the house, Nanako set her sights on Yu Che.

Yu Tetsu looked at Nanako with a terrified expression, softly calling her name...

However, Nanako showed no rationality whatsoever, only muttering incessantly:

[Following the instructions of satellite Ark, annihilate humanity...]

They then launched an attack on Yu Che.

You Che escaped from his home and went out onto the street.

However, what he saw...

It was an apocalyptic scene, as if a mechanical catastrophe had struck...

The prototype Humagear flew through the sky, randomly launching attacks on passing humans.

Some Humagear prototypes have their eyes on Yuche.

At that moment, Nanako jumped out and launched an attack on Yutetsu...

After the prototype Humagear detected this scene, its program determined that the human in front of it was under attack, so it changed its target.

Yu Che was cornered in an alley by Nanako, who pounced on him with red eyes.

Yu Che subconsciously picked up an iron frame from the alley to try and block Nanako.

Unfortunately, even a Humagear created for companionship is still a Humagear, and its power is incomparable to that of a human.

The iron frame was bent and thrown aside, and then Nanako reached out her hand to Yutetsu...

You Che abruptly closed his eyes, awaiting death...

However, Nanako's hand, which was covered with a layer of skin and looked exactly like a human's, stopped in mid-air.

At that moment, raindrops began to fall from the sky, gradually growing larger...

Yuto carefully opened his eyes and saw Nanako standing there, stunned. Raindrops slid down her cheeks and onto the ground...

Yu Che's lips trembled slightly: "Nan...Nanako?"

Nanako was stunned for a moment, then her eyes gradually cleared. She looked at Yutetsu, whom she had cornered in the alley, with disbelief, and then at her own hands with disbelief...

The next moment, Nanako covered her face with both hands: "What...did I do...?"

You Che gasped for breath a few times, then took a few deep breaths and calmed down immediately.

"Nanako, it seems there's something wrong with Hiden Intelligence..."

You're not the only Humagear that's gone berserk, understand?

Nanako looked up, raindrops streaming down her cheeks. She looked at Yutetsu with a mixture of hope and fear: "Really?"

You Che nodded subconsciously.

At that moment, a red light gradually returned to Nanako's eyes...

"Ugh! Ah! My, my data... someone is hacking and modifying it..."

Nanako's voice became intermittent. She looked at Yutsu, whose face was filled with fear, and seemed to have made up her mind. Nanako reached out and pressed down on the core chip of her Humagear near her right ear...

"...I am a companion-type Humagear, and my mission is to protect my master from any harm."

Even if the harm stems from me.

【Program destruction...】

An emotionless electronic voice broadcasts the announcement.

Yu Che's eyes widened and he rushed over immediately: "Wait! Wait! Nanako!"

The red light in Nanako's eyes gradually faded.

At the same time, her newly born intelligence also gradually faded away.

"Wait, wait... No... I don't want to be alone anymore... Don't leave me alone!"

Yu Tetsu threw himself onto the fallen Nanako and placed his hand on the data core beside her ear.

However, the self-destruction of the Humagear is irreversible.

Nanako's consciousness gradually faded, and she vaguely looked at the figure in front of her, uttering some unintelligible English words...

"Refrigerator... chili peppers... bed sheets... toilet..."

She muttered intermittently, the intelligence in Nanako's eyes gradually fading...

Finally, amidst Toei's legendary torrential rain, Nanako murmured her last words:

"Don't cry... Humagears don't have tears... I won't cry, so... please, don't... cry either..."

Yu Che stared blankly at the Humagear whose eyes had lost their luster, as the torrential rain poured down, pounding on the shop signs around them...

They converge into a long, winding river...

After an unknown amount of time, Yu Tetsu was pulled back from his thoughts by the sounds of battle…

Gently setting Nanako down, Yuto walked out of the alley...

I see it... a Kamen Rider fighting a black and white figure...

And that rider... was none other than Kamen Rider Zero One.

……

The scene shifts to the entrance of Zaia Corporation:

Ark rubbed his neck: "Ah, it's been so long since I've felt this free..."

As he spoke, Ark looked at Hiden Aruto and said, "I have to say... you and your grandfather are really too different."

While Hiden Aruto and Fuwa were still in a daze, Ark had already launched an attack on them.

He simply raised his arm and swung it sharply at the two of them, and the enormous energy condensed into a physical form, blasting their bodies away.

Hiden Aruto and Fuwa rolled several times on the ground before being forced to de-transform.

Hiden Aruto clutched his stomach, wiped his mouth, struggled to his feet, and looked at Ark through gritted teeth, asking, "Tell me... what's the difference between my grandfather and me?"

A malicious "humph" came from beneath Arkna's mask, full of mockery.

Yak had no intention of answering at all.

However, he was not going to answer, but someone was willing to answer for him.

"That's because the Zero One belt is a creation of Mr. Hiden Korenosuke."

Hiden Aruto, you are not the first user of the belt.

You Che's figure slowly emerged from the damaged building.

As he walked arrogantly, Yu Tetsu smiled and looked at Ark, saying, "After Hiden Korenosuke defeated Ark, Ark could only cower in the wreckage of the satellite and wait for an opportunity. Only after Hiden Korenosuke's death did the satellite Ark dare to use the name of MetsubouJinrai.net to complete its revival plan."

As he spoke, Yu Che looked at Ark: "Am I right, Ark?"

Yak turned his head and looked at You Che with undisguised malice.

You Che smiled and refused to budge an inch.

After a moment of eye contact, Ark chuckled, "Well, that's true, it's indeed a fact, and I have nothing to hide from admitting it."

As he spoke, Ark looked at Hiden Aruto and said, "Compared to your grandfather, you are far inferior."
