Lincoln awkwardly followed Riku to the way to her home, they only been friends for almost 2 days and already she took him to her house after spending some time around town as friends but he didn't want to take things in the wrong way so he made up his mind to not get too deep into thinking about it, eventually they arrived.

"Well, this is the place. Come on in, no need to be shy." Riku said with a blushed, Lincoln thought that she was probably still thinking about Usagi's statement on Lincoln being her boyfriend.

"Ok you first, it is your house after all."

As soon as they walked in the saw a tall slightly muscular woman with black hair in a pixie cut style wearing a black shirt under a red apron with blue pants and socks and she was holding a basket of laundry. Lincoln couldn't help but noticed that even though Riku's mother is a mature woman, she looks very young and the curves on her body along with the muscles would make any man fall but Lincoln remained focused on the task at hand, besides, she slightly reminds him of Luna a little bit.

"Oh, Riku-chan welcome back."

The woman then noticed Lincoln and how the two of the came together and was overwhelmed with joy and curiosity.

"Eh, so you finally got a boyfriend now?"

Both of them blushed and spoke in unison "we're not dating."

"Hmm what a shame, I really wish you would try to have a regular young adult life sweetheart."

"Mom!! Enough already!"

"What? you don't go out to socialize much, you're always either studying or training."

*sigh* "Anyways, mom this is Lincoln and Lincoln this is my mom."

"Hajimemashite, watashino namaewa Lincoln Loud desu." (Translate: "Nice to meet you, my name is Lincoln Loud.")

"Oh, you're the new Kamen Rider Riku told me about" Riku's mother then approached him and started to focus on Lincon's white hair. "Is your hair dyed?"

"Uh no, my hair is naturally white since I was born."

"Mom, please stop being rude in front to him I need to help train him so he can be prepared in a battle."

"Hmm, ok fine I'll just be doing chores around the house until your father gets home" she then picked up the laundry basket and proceeded to walk outside towards the back but stopped and looked back to Lincoln "Oh I almost forgot to introduce myself, so sorry, my name's Isuzu Kasami. Nice to meet you."

Riku pulled on Lincoln's sleeve signaling him to follow her to the living room towards a bookshelf and pulled a book down and opens the whole shelf to reveal a stairway as if this was a Batman movie.

"This is the entrance to the training area as well as the main headquarters so try to remember how to unlock it and let me know when your coming to train so my parents can know."

"Got it."

The two of them then descended down the stairs and Lincoln was flabbergasted by the mere sight of how advance the underground headquarters was. The place was a very large open spaced interior with white steel walls, a giant steel door at the end of a driveway, a simulation arena, a large supercomputer, a medical room, an arsenal of weapons and tools, a hologram table, some kind of laboratory, and a large platform that looks like a place for a vehicle but currently empty at the moment.

"Ok, this is awesome."

"I'm glad you enjoy it, we're probably gonna be spending a lot of time here working together to save humanity and beat the Synthoids but first, transform in the center of the arena while I get the system operating and have it recognize you."

"Oh alright then." Lincoln headed towards the center and placed the belt on his waist and inserted the Cyrus disk in the center.

"CONFIRMED... CYRUS"

The belt then plays its standby beat and Lincoln does his new signature transformation pose (look in previous chapters for details).

"Henshin!"

"LETS GO... CYRUS"

Lincoln's suit and armor then materialized and equipped itself to his body.

"Alright, so as you know your suit is able to protect your body from most damage and nullify the pain but you still feel it and can get overwhelmed by the force of the attack and the armor is not indestructible either any damage to the armor and/or suit will self-repair overtime outside of combat but your body remains the same. We may have a medical station equipped with medicine, treatments, and equipment from around here in this dimension and some other different dimensions, don't ask about that for now, but there are limits on I can do to patch you up."

"Ok so even though the suit protects me, I should try not to take too many hits in a fight."

"Exactly, now your helmet has a communication link connected to the main computer and my phone in case I need to talk to you to give advice in battle and your eye lenses act also acts as a camera for me to see everything on the monitor and record any data for future use. The power you possess when transformed amplifies your physical abilities by 10 times and maybe more if you focus on charging the energy in one place but don't get carried away, the belt has a teleportation function for anything in the arsenal and everything in it was designed by yours truly, if you want to switch your current weapon with a different one just hold the center in front of the Cyrus disk while it's still inserted in the belt."

"Yeah I can see a variety of equipment and you said you designed them, I'm impressed."

"Well, we all have our talents now summon your sword I'm creating some hard-light holograms of Cybots, we'll take it slow for now during training."

"Alright then *presses button* sword!!"

"TELEPORT... SWORD"

Lincoln ready his sword and himself for a fight while holographic Cybots were created in front of him.

"Take them down without getting hit within 2 minutes and don't use the charged function in the sword, it's a bit of a cheat."

"That a challenge, bring it on."

Lincoln charged ahead and used the energy in his leg to jump high above one of the Cybots and cut it in half down the middle followed by a forward decapitation to another one, several of them tried to attack Lincoln at all angles but he managed to dodge them all and counter attack at the same time and eventually eliminating all of the holographic Cybots and the bodies shortly disappeared.

"1 minute and 32 seconds, excellent alright let's try something new for a change, try recalling the sword back first."

"Ok" Lincoln placed the center of the sword's guard on the disk while it was still in the belt and the core started to glow.

"RETURN"

The sword then disappeared from Lincoln's hand and he can see that it was teleport to where it originally was in the arsenal.

"Alright now pressed the button and call out "blaster" for a special and exclusive handgun that shoots lasers at your target"

He pressed the button on the belt and yelled "Blaster!!"

"TELEPORT... BLASTER"

A blaster was then teleported into Lincoln's hand, it was a white and violet long-barreled handgun with a similar design compared to the belt and a curved handle.







"Now this feels like that old DOOM game I played back when I was younger."

"Let's hope it doesn't became like that in real life, now the blaster contains an super battery to create it's own version of energy as well as harness some energy you give off with effective yet little use of it when firing a shot so no need for ammunition or reloading, just go nuts with the blaster. Your helmet contains an aiming software to the eye lenses that shows to the trajectory of each shot and the point of impact but you probably shouldn't rely on it too much, there's a small button next to the comms to turn it off if you want to aim directly if it gets in the way or is not working; now run the simulation again with the blaster this time and do your best to be accurate."

A couple of holographic Cybots appeared once again Lincoln started blasting them away while aiming for the head using the software in his eye lenses for the first half and the rest of them he did it without it while dodging whatever attacks came towards him eventually eliminating all of them again.

"1 minute and 45 seconds, could've been better but that's why we train, no offense."

"None taken, anything else we need to do?"

"Well I was thinking you could-"

All of a sudden, alarms started to go off around the base and Lincoln ran towards where Riku was at the main computer trying to figure out what's happening and RIku pulls up video footage on the monitor and both of them see people running from Cybots in the Kabukicho and several police officers attempting to shoot them but are overwhelmed.

"Cybots are invading Kabukicho but I can't see if there's a Synthoid out there."

"I've got to get out there and fight but by then a lot of people are going to get hurt or die."

"Don't worry, I've got something that can help."

Riku then pressed some buttons on the keyboard and the large steel door opened up to reveal a tunnel leading towards the city and the platform flipped to also reveal a high-tech orange and white motorcycle.



"This motorcycle can get there quick before there are any casualties just follow the GPS through the tunnels, they're a direct route towards the city."

Lincoln then gets on the motorcycle and starts the engine and turns on the GPS system "I've never ridden motorcycle before but I have no choice in matter." With that said he rides of toward the city where the battlefield is through the navigated tunnels while Riku is observing the monitors to find out more information on this invasion.

"I might need to add motorcycle training on the list."

*later in Kabukicho*

"Fire!"

Multiple officers then fire off their handguns aimed at the Cybots but it has no affects then some of the Cybots armed with their own guns started firing back and the cops took cover behind their car and some corners of buildings.

"Damn it!! what are these things, our bullets has no affect on them and when is our backup coming, we need them here now."

A Cybot with a knife then hopped on a patrol car and was about to attack the officers beside it until it was shot in the head by a laser and fell down the officers were stunned and turned to see Lincoln on his motorcycle heading towards them while shooting at the Cybots with his blaster, Lincoln then stopped his motorcycle in front of the officers and got off to approach them.

"Are you alright?"

"U-Uh yeah we'll be alright, thank you for saving us."

"It's not a problem, tell everyone to fall back and help any civilians to safety, I'll take care of these guys for you."

"O-Ok, Everyone fall back and focus on evacuating civilians!!"

"But sir, what about these creatures?" another officer spoke.

The officer then looked back at Lincoln in his suit "just let him handle it."

Lincoln then vault over the hood of the patrol car and a couple of cybots charged at Lincoln only to be shot while running and when Lincoln got close he kicked some of them down while shooting whatever Cybot was around him thus eliminating them but there were still a lot of Cybots still standing but then Lincoln had an idea, he switch his blaster to his left hand and used his right to push the button on his belt.

"Hope this works... sword!"

"TELEPORT... SWORD"

Lincoln's sword then appears in front of him and grabs it with his right hand and is now dual wielding his blade and gun to take down the Cybots more effectively.

"Now we're talking."

Lincoln then charged forward and started shooting and slicing at the same time and dodge any attack the Cybots did while making sure nobody else got in the crossfire and later defeated most of the Cybots and when the last couple of them remained his placed the center of his blaster on his disk.

"RETURN"

Lincoln then removed the disk from the belt and insert it in the sword.

"CHARGED"

The blade of the sword then started glowing and charging up energy like before and it was shortly ready for Lincoln to use.

"Haaaaaaa!!" Lincoln then performed a 180 degree horizontal slash which unleashes a wave of energy towards the last of the Cybots thus defeating them as a result making the battle over.

"And that's the end of that."

Lincoln then switched to his comms in his helmet "Riku, how are things on your side?"

"I'm not seeing any more Cybots and fortunately there wasn't any Synthoids this time and no casualties as well."

"Ok but where did all of these Cybots come from, did another portal opened up?"

"I'm still working on that, my brother sealed off most portals the lead to here but ever since the Synthoid came before there have been a couple of loose cracks where a couple of Cybots can easily slip through before the cracks before it closes like today and another one opens back up somewhere else, it's gonna be tough to fix those."

"Ok, if there's nothing else I'm gonna head back to the base."

"Alright then."

Riku then cuts off the comms and Lincoln was heading towards where he parked his bike until a few police officers from earlier approached him hoping to have a small talk about what had just occurred.

"Something I can do for you officers?"

The officers then bowed down their heads and said in unison "thank you very much for saving us!"

"U-Uh it's no problem at all officer, sorry but I have to be somewhere."

Lincoln got on his bike and was about to drive off until one of the officers spoke again.

"Wait!"

"Hm?"

"Exactly... who are you?"

"I am Kamen Rider Cyrus."

With that said, Lincoln drives off while still transformed towards the base to meet up with Riku and resume training leaving the officers amazed that there's a new hero in town willing to come save the day and fight off monsters they don't have the resources to handle.
