A Rider Kick in Marvel

Several days have elapsed since the visit to the X-Mansion. Ace has been in regular contact with the friends he made. They chatted about their everyday lives and sometimes talked about their missions. Even the Taros joined in. The situation became chaotic, but it was fun and lively.

 

Ace is currently talking with Izu. After months of preparation, the company can officially begin. Izu purchased an abandoned warehouse and restored it to be the company's first base of operations. Ace was impressed with Izu's work. He left the company to her as he did not know how to make or manage one. But because she is a Humagear and worked as a secretary for Hiden Intelligence back in her world. She did not encounter any problems.

 

The warehouse used to be a factory and has a long rectangular space. It was filled with different assembly lines with robot arms. There are three floors: the first floor is the assembly lines, and the 2nd floor is office spaces for the employees. The 3rd floor is a small room where the president of the company offices is located.”

 

“This is amazing, Izu. You did everything perfectly. Sorry if I couldn’t be of any help.”

“It is okay, Ace-sama. Please let me handle the company’s operations. You will be the president, and all you need to do is issue your commands, and I will fulfill them.”

“But I have no idea if what I am doing is correct. I’m not talented enough to lead a tech company.”

“I’ll be with you every step of the way, Ace-sama. Don’t worry.”

Ace can only sigh. This was his idea, and he needed to go through it. “Okay, please guide me, Izu.”

“Yes, Ace-sama”

“So, what should we do first? Do we create Humagears and sell their services?”

“I don’t recommend we proceed with that, Ace-sama.”

“Why?”

“Based on Zea’s analysis, if released Humagears currently. There would be a high probability that others would seize the company and use Humagears as weapons. We currently don’t have a backer unless we do or have sufficient influence. It would be dangerous to let the world know of Humagears.”

“I see… I forgot Hydra is still around. They did try to get Tony’s Iron Man suit, after all. He has a lot of connections so that he won’t get in trouble but for us. We are no better than a baby to other companies or the government. So what should we do? Do we create other technology? I’m sure Zea has some we could use.”

“Yes, Zea had data on many occupations with different technology. We can extract the data to build them here.”

“Then we have a plan. By the way, are we the only ones in the company?”

“Yes, currently, we are only registered with the company.”

“We are going to need more hands. Do we create more Humagears for our workers? If we create too much, they might get exposed.”

“A small number should be okay.”

“Then please request Zea to start creating them. Ikazuchi, Naki, and Shesta should also be included. It is about time they join us. Metsubojinrai should also be complete.”

“...”

“What is it Izu? Why are you quiet?”

“Why do you need Shesta, Ace-sama? I think I, as your secretary, should be enough.”

“I also think you are enough, Izu, but since you people don’t know, you are a Humagear. I think you should be the Vice President of the company. You can already think for yourself and will probably lead the company most of the time. Shesta can assist me when you’re not around.”

“I refuse, but Shesta can be the vice president. My place is beside you, Ace-sama.”

Izu stares at Ace resolutely. He can see from Izu’s neutral face that she is serious and won’t change her mind.

“Okay… you win. You will continue to be my secretary, and Shesta can be the Vice President.”

“Thank you, Ace-sama.” Izu bows

“I will be leaving momentarily to send the request to Zea; excuse me, Ace-sama.”

“Okay, be safe.”

Izu walks away, but a gentle smile on her face can be seen unnoticed by either Ace or her.

 

(A/N: What should the name of the company be? I was thinking something related to bright or star.)

 

…

 

Nick Fury sits in his chair with a troubled face in a SHIELD base. He finally went through all the investigative data he had with his resources. He now knows who is behind SHIELD. It was Hydra, and he couldn’t believe it. Captain America defeated the organization, but it is alive and the one controlling SHIELD behind the scenes. No, Fury believes they have infiltrated more deeply. 

 

That is what Hydra does. Now, he couldn’t trust anybody, not that he did anyway. He could most likely trust only the Avengers, the team he assembled. But they wouldn’t even be able to fight them without knowing who or where they are.

 

Fury will need to investigate and transfer resources without being noticed by Hydra. It will be difficult, and he needs time, but he feels he doesn’t have it. He looked at another file, and it was a project he proposed. 

 

Project Insight involved three linked Helicarriers that would patrol Earth and, using an algorithm that evaluated an individual's behavior, eliminate humans who posed a possible threat. Fury proposed this after the Battle of New York. He thought this project would protect people, but now he knows Hydra is the face behind SHIELD. It will become a weapon of mass destruction.

 

“Dammit!” Fury is furious now that he realizes what is at stake here. He should have thought of destroying those Helicarriers, but Fury was reluctant. He has sunk too many resources into Project Insight. If Fury tells the Avengers, they will undoubtedly want to destroy them. He was in a dilemma.

 

Suddenly, his door opens, and Natasha comes in. Fury called her a few moments ago to discuss the problem called Hydra.

“Is there any problem, boss?” asked Natasha

“Have a seat, Agent Romanoff.”

 

Natasha has seen Fury act like this, but only when a dangerous or vital task is given.

“Please read these.” Fury hands over the Hydra files to Natasha.

She read the files briefly, and Natasha's face became heavy.

 

“Hydra is alive, sir? And many of our SHIELD agents are Hydra agents?”

“That is correct, Agent Romanoff.”

“Steve needs to know this. He has sworn to end Hydra.”

“He doesn’t need to know right now.”

“Why, sir?”

“It is because Hydra is too numerous and is lurking in the dark. We don’t know who we can trust. The Avengers may be fine, but I can’t tell them about Hydra until we can gather resources and flush them out.”

“And you trust me, sir?” Natasha asked. She knew Nick Fury didn’t trust anybody.

 

“If you were a Hydra agent, I would be dead right now. You met with the Rider and didn’t report his suspicion to anyone else, which makes you trustworthy.

“I’m flattered, so is it just us?”

“Just us until we can find some other trustworthy people. We do not tell anybody.”

“How about the Rider, sir? He might have already known about Hydra. Do we contact him?”

 

Fury takes a moment to consider the situation. He believes there's a strong possibility that Kamen Rider is already aware of Hydra, which could be why he is reluctant to join the Avengers or SHIELD. Fury acknowledges the extent of Kamen Rider's power, even if it's not at its full strength. It would significantly strengthen his forces if he could secure Kamen Rider's assistance.

 

“That would be a good idea. Agent Romanoff, you contact the Rider. Tell him I want to meet him face to face. I’ll be gathering personnel and resources for our fight with Hydra. Don’t trust anybody, and report only to me. Don’t use any official channels. Hydra could be monitoring it.”

 

Natasha gladly accepted the mission and left the office. Fury sat down and started doing his part in the upcoming war against Hydra.

 

…

 

Janice Lincoln is walking through a hallway led by a man in a suit. She is meeting her father’s close associate. She doesn’t know who he is, and this is the first meeting, but she has an idea of who it is. They reach their destination, and the man opens the door. Janice goes in.

 

She saw a man in a white suit with a large body. He looked quite chubby, but beneath his clothes was muscle, not fat. He is Wilson Fisk, secretly known as the Kingpin. He is a crime lord of New York City in Hell’s Kitchen, likely the most influential and feared crime lord. He is very intellectual and cunning and runs numerous underground illegal operations. Most can’t even convict him due to his influence and army of lawyers.

 

“Good evening, Janice. I’m Wilson Fisk, a close associate of your father.”

“It is nice to meet you as well, Mr. Fisk. I am well aware of your reputation. Owner of Fisk Industries and your underground… reputation.”

“It seems Ms. Janice is quite knowledgeable.”

“I always wanted to follow in my father’s footsteps. I did my research, Mr. Fisk.”

“Then discussions will be easier.”

 

The two sat down and began their discussion.

“It is quite a shame what happened to your father. He is a good friend and business partner. Considering his unavailability, I hope you continue his operations.”

“I would have done so even without you saying it. All I want is revenge for what happened to my father.”

 

“And revenge you shall have, my dear. Have you heard of MetsubouJinari.net?”

“Yes, Hammerhead has told me. They are the most likely suspects who harmed my father.”

“That is what I thought, so I. Please look at these.”

 

Kingpin showed photos capturing Horobi and Jin in their transformed states.

“These are the photos of this MetsubouJinari.net group. They have been meddling in different operations in New York. They are quite a problem.”

 

Janice clenched her fist and looked at the photo with fury. She wanted to find and kill these people who harmed her father.

“Have you noticed anything?” asked Fisk

“What?”

“This MetsubouJinari.net has unusual armor, similar to the vigilante Kamen Rider.”

 

Kingpin showed photos of Kamen Rider in his different forms to Janice.

“You think MetsubouJinari.net and Kamen Rider are working together,” Janice asked.

“Perhaps, but MetsubouJinari.net has killed people, but the Kamen Rider has not. Although there is a connection between the two.”

“So what do you propose?”

“An alliance. We have a common enemy, and these pests must be dealt with. It will also avenge your father. So, what do you say?” Kingpin held out his hand to Janice

“Of course, I will accept. If it is to seek revenge for my father.”

“Then we have a deal.” Kingpin smiles, getting Janice for his help.
