"What kind of monster is this? His power is absolutely terrifying..."
Hiding behind a few empty oil barrels in the factory, Kiba secretly watched Takuma searching for him, and a sense of despair washed over him. Because of Raven's warning, Kiba had transformed and fought much less recently. His own strength had grown more slowly than it had in the original story. That was why he felt completely helpless against Takuma, a member of the Lucky Clover.
"Yuji Kiba, you can't run away," Takuma said, still playing his cat-and-mouse game, in no hurry. After gauging Kiba's strength in their initial exchange, he hadn't intended to take the fight seriously. This was his hubris.
He raised his right hand, aimed at Kiba's location, and fired an energy bullet.
Hiding there, Kiba gritted his teeth, refusing to wait for death. Enduring his injuries, he transformed into the Orphnoch and rushed towards Takuma.
"Agh!"
Kiba unleashed a sudden burst of surprising power, swinging his longsword and engaging Takuma fiercely. For a moment, he caught Takuma off guard, landing two slashes on his body.
"You have successfully enraged me."
Takuma couldn't tolerate such an insult—being wounded by an Orphnoch he looked down upon. He summoned his own weapon, a black bone whip, and easily sent Kiba flying with a single lash.
"It's time to send you to your grave..." Takuma delivered the final verdict, intending to end the game.
Boom!
Just then, the roar of a motorcycle engine suddenly reached his ears from a distance. He spun around.
A cool, dark purple motorcycle burst into the factory and slammed into him before he could react, sending him violently flying. He tumbled clumsily into a pile of garbage within the abandoned factory.
Wounded and groaning on the floor, Kiba looked up immediately. A look of surprise and delight spread across his face!
"Mr. Raven!"
Raven dismounted the motorcycle and opened the safe box strapped to the back. He took out the Faiz Driver.
"Isn't that the Faiz Driver? How does Mr. Raven have it...?" Kiba looked completely bewildered.
"Finally, someone interesting has shown up."
Raven secured the Faiz Driver around his waist, then expertly flipped open the phone and input the transformation code. He pressed the enter key at the top.
The transformation sound effect began to play.
"Standing By."
Raven then closed the phone and placed it onto the Driver. He calmly stated, "Henshin."
"Complete."
As the Driver successfully activated, a framework of red Photon Blood materialized around Raven's body. Accompanied by a blinding flash of light, Kamen Rider Faiz made his entrance!
At the same time, the Auto Vajin began to be remotely summoned by Raven. Takumi Inui, who was just about to sit down on it for a ride to buy groceries, was promptly bucked off.
"Hey! Where are you going?!"
Takumi realized it must be Raven summoning the bike again. Determined to get the Driver back, he steeled himself, leaped up, and gripped the Auto Vajin's leg with both hands, flying off with it. This sight left Keitaro, who was holding a bucket of water, absolutely stunned.
Back at the abandoned factory.
Takuma angrily crawled out of the pile of garbage, trembling with fury.
"You're Faiz, are you?! You bastard! I'll kill you!" Takuma roared toward the sky, aggressively lashing out with his whip toward Raven.
Raven naturally dodged the attack, then took the phone from the Driver and switched it to Gun Mode, continuing to kite Takuma while maintaining his distance.
Bang! Bang! Bang!!!
The Faiz Pointer (Gun Mode) had a ferocious rate of fire. Any Orphnoch that wasn't primarily a defense-oriented, thick-skinned fighter would struggle under a sustained barrage. Takuma was clearly not a high-defense combatant. Under the dense hail of fire, he couldn't even get close to Raven.
However, the energy consumption wasn't infinite, and the phone soon signaled low power, requiring a cooling-off period before it could be used again.
"Why did you stop shooting? Shoot again!"
After weathering the heavy fire, Takuma assumed Raven had run out of tricks. But Raven showed no reaction; this was all part of his plan.
He calmly said to Takuma, "Now, for the main event."
CRASH!
RAT-A-TAT-TAT—!
Another intense burst of machine-gun fire rained down through a large hole in the factory ceiling. It was the timely arrival of the Auto Vajin!
Hanging onto its leg was a single human figure.
Below, the bewildered Takuma was forced to duck and cover as the Auto Vajin's firepower was even heavier than Faiz's.
