Takumi picked up the Driver and prepared to transform. He tried inputting the code 555, then realized that not every Driver used the same transformation number.
"Damn it, I can't transform!" Takumi cried out in frustration. The user of this Driver was dead, and without an instruction manual, they had no way of knowing the code.
"Allow me."
At that moment, a cold, clear voice came from behind Takumi. It was Raven. He had been searching for Jay for the past few days, and the system had helpfully alerted him to the Orphnoch's location.
Takumi was startled by Raven's sudden appearance, but then he relaxed. He showed up just in time! He thought, feeling safe now, still vividly recalling Raven's terrifying, abnormal strength.
The Crocodile Orphnoch, seeing the person he was truly after appear, stopped his advance instantly. He hesitated for a moment, unsure whether to attack. After all, Kyouji Murakami had instructed them to avoid engaging Raven if possible. Their main objective was the three Drivers.
Raven glanced at the Kaixa Driver in Takumi's hands and snatched it away without a word.
"Hey! You don't even know the transformation code! It's useless to you!" Takumi complained, clearly annoyed. His impression of Raven had improved after the last time he returned the Faiz Driver, but he still harbored resentment over being beaten so brutally.
"Is that so?" Raven wore a playful smile.
He fastened the Kaixa Driver around his waist, flipped open the Kaixa Phone, entered the transformation code 913, and pressed the [ENTER] key.
A sound, even more ominous than the Faiz standby loop, began to play.
[Standing By.]
Raven then closed the phone, placed it onto the Driver core, and pressed down. He spoke the classic transformation phrase.
"Henshin."
[Complete!]
As the Driver successfully activated, a Photon Frame made of yellow Photon Blood materialized over Raven's body. With a dazzling flash of light, the transformation completed, and Kamen Rider Kaixa made his debut!
"Nani!?" Takumi's eyes widened. He couldn't believe Raven knew the Driver's transformation code!
Mari, slowly recovering from her grief, also watched in astonishment as Raven transformed into Kamen Rider Kaixa.
Raven clenched his fist, feeling the power of the Kaixa Driver. The Kaixa Driver, also known as the Cursed Belt, was stronger than the Faiz Driver in overall stats, but transformation required a massive consumption of Orphnoch DNA.
Immediately upon transforming, he felt the accumulated Orphnoch DNA in his body being rapidly depleted. At this rate of consumption, it was no wonder the Ryusei School students could barely manage a single transformation before collapsing. Only people like Masato Kusaka, who had a relatively strong Orphnoch mark, could transform multiple times. However, once their internal Orphnoch DNA was completely exhausted, they would also turn to sand and die.
But this flaw meant nothing to Raven. He could replenish his Orphnoch DNA by devouring other Orphnochs. Even if he completely ran out, he wouldn't die because the Amazon cells were the dominant force in his body, not the Orphnoch genes.
Raven quickly familiarized himself with the suit, drew the Kaixa Blaygun, switched it to Blade Mode, and charged toward the Crocodile Orphnoch.
The Crocodile Orphnoch, seeing this, rushed forward to meet him, raising his massive sword for a powerful clash!
Clang!
The two weapons struck each other, creating an earsplitting metallic screech.
"This is your last life, isn't it?" Raven said mockingly to the Crocodile Orphnoch.
"Gah!"
Hearing this, the Crocodile Orphnoch completely snapped, unleashing all his fury. He truly had no retreat now. The Kaixa Driver was right there, but Raven had taken it. He had to either win or die!
However, Raven's strength with the Kaixa Driver was far superior to Kiyotaka Nishida's. Even against the Crocodile Orphnoch's Third Form, he handled the fight with ease. Using his superior speed, he effortlessly dodged several attacks, making sure every counter-attack struck the Orphnoch's vital points.
Clang!
"Ugh!"
Watching himself being toyed with, the Crocodile Orphnoch could only lash out in impotent rage.
Finally, Raven delivered another sword strike, sending the Orphnoch flying back several meters and knocking the huge sword from its hand.
"That's enough."
Raven removed the Kaixa Pointer from his hip and attached it to his leg. He rushed forward and kicked the Crocodile Orphnoch, who had just managed to get back up. But the Orphnoch strongly blocked the attack, grabbing his leg.
Raven remained completely calm. He casually flipped open the phone cover and pressed the [ENTER] button.
[Exceed Charge]
A golden drill-like beam shot out from the Pointer on Raven's leg, repeatedly striking the Crocodile Orphnoch's body, forcing it back, and locking onto the target!
