Fire-Chasing Squad: Build Rangers-Reporting for Duty! (Part 1)
(It's a bit embarrassing, but I sent out a notification that I tested positive on the first day, and then it came back positive the next day. Well, I'm probably fine now, I've just been sleeping in a bit these past few days...)
In short, thank goodness my immune system didn't go berserk! (Love Gate!)
Hello, I am Jackal.
Hmm, why don't I call myself a genius? What a joke, don't compare me to that lobster. I am a genius, why do I need to keep talking about being a genius?
Besides, I'm a genius far superior to that grumpy, stinky lobster! I'm better in shape, younger, richer, have more subordinates, and am more well-mannered. Why does Xing Kaslana like her so much?!
After one of her battles with a monster, she left behind a cassette tape. A curious Raven picked it up and brought it to the Jackal. When the Jackal opened it, she found that it contained Tesla's insults towards her, which led to the events described above.
After venting his anger, Jackal threw the Tesla doll, which was covered in needles, into the trash can, then hugged the custom-made Sachi doll to his chest and inhaled it intensely. He would use this as a substitute until he officially got his hands on that little boy.
That boy seemed to have a tracking device attached to her, following her wherever she went. Originally, she just wanted to conduct some experiments in Changkong City, capture a few test subjects to extract some energy, and then go to Sky Dome City for the next step of her plan after making progress. But then, luck came.
There's no other way, I'll just let her fight some monsters. The monster combination and terrain setup I carefully selected should be enough to take down that little boy... wait, I almost forgot that she's a girl, I should call her a loli, right? Anyway, I'm sure I can defeat her and bring her back. After all, I never expected that mining in the Golden Ocean Park would actually unearth the Lord's friend...
And then I found out that Sachi Kaslana is so strong! She can defeat all the powerful enemies I send out every time, turning all the monsters I painstakingly created into her Full Bottle. It's infuriating!
Fortunately, the giant crocodile's special Honkai Energy recovered by the Raven in time, so it wasn't a complete loss.
The Raven had just come in to deliver documents, hesitated for a moment, then said, "I have something to say, but I'm not sure if I should?"
"Speak!" Jackal waved her hand magnanimously. She wasn't the kind of incompetent boss who believed employees should speak up if they had any opinions.
Whether she listens or not is another matter.
Raven asked the question she had wanted to ask for a long time, "You only send two each time. Although their abilities complement each other, wouldn't the chances of winning be greater if you sent more?"
Jackal scolded her with exasperation, "Idiot, don't you think we've given her enough full bottles? Do you want to give her several at once?"
To everyone's surprise, the Raven replied wistfully, "So you knew."
Jackal: "..."
Raven, your salary and maintenance for this month are gone!
Furious, the dark-skinned mature woman slammed her fist on the keyboard, shouting, "I'm deploying my strongest defense and my strongest offense this time! Let's see how you fight back!"
"Turtle!"
"Sai (Rhinoceros)!"
P. S.: Fortunately, she later realized that she had overestimated the Jackal's intelligence. The jackal had never intended to target her in the first place; it was just that the Jackal became interested later.
After all, that cunning Dog-headed Strategist is really bad at making plans, yet he's incompetent and has a huge addiction to it.
So who exactly sent out that intelligence?
—Luckily: I smelled the scent of a new toy—
Listen, an idol isn't a pretentious lunatic, nor a noisy machine reciting a prepared script, but rather—
At Mihoyo's agency, Yuki, a senior colleague, is training Hanser, who has just passed the interview, when she suddenly receives a phone call.
A moment later—
"Hey, Brother Dawei? My mom has suddenly fallen seriously ill, so I need to take a day off."
While counting his money, Brother Dawei looked at the girl who politely handed him her leave application and signed it without hesitation. "It's alright, it's alright, go ahead. By the way, is your mother's health very poor? This is the third time this month, isn't it?"
Fortunately, she turned her head away awkwardly and said, "Thank you for your concern, boss. I will take good care of her."
The headmaster of the St. Freya Academy, who was in good health and working diligently, suddenly sneezed.
A wooded area in the back mountains—
Build in its basic RabbitTank Form strolls across the lush green grass, seemingly nonchalant, but in reality, it is constantly observing the surroundings. Little Te detected two special Honkai Energy reactions, which means there are two enemies, so caution is advised.
However, Kiana and the others were already waiting nearby. All he needed to do was defeat the enemy as usual, then pretend to leave and use the tracking device Little Te made to find out where that guy went.
To prevent the Camera Monster's immobilization skill from happening again, she gave the purified Camera Full Bottle to Little Te to study, and they successfully developed an anti-immobilization device. Now there's no need to worry about Kiana and the others being affected.
Speaking of immobilization, Xing gets angry. If she had access to a lot of Honkai Energy, she could teach her opponent a lesson with a proper immobilization technique instead of having to suffer this humiliation.
"Hmm? The killing intent is so obvious. It seems that this enemy never intended to hide from the beginning."
Feeling the ground tremble slightly, I focused my attention and prepared to face the formidable enemy that was about to arrive.
As the shadows enveloped the knight's figure, he couldn't help but raise his head and carefully examine the enemy before him.
"Wow, what... what kind of creature is this?"
Overall, it looks like a giant mutant rhinoceros with unusually developed limbs that has successfully evolved into an upright animal, but can anyone tell me why this rhinoceros is wearing a tortoise shell? Did it steal it from a tortoise? Tortoises and rhinoceroses are not exactly the best combination of two organic organisms.
Fortunately, she fell into deep thought, but the Turtle Rhino opposite her did not think much. It landed on all fours, slightly gathered its strength in its forelimbs, and then raised the sharp horn on its head and charged towards her!
The rabbit's jumping ability was on full display at this moment. While suspended in mid-air, it observed the Turtle Rhino's movements on the ground and considered its next course of action.
After losing its target, the Turtle Rhino did not stop but continued its charge, knocking down several large trees before realizing it hadn't hit anyone. Enraged, it shook its head and wreaked havoc in the surrounding area before finally stopping.
"Attack, defense, and speed are all pretty good, but reaction and intelligence are worrying... I've got it."
"Same!" Smell Phone! Rider Match!"
While the Turtle Rhino was still searching for a target, a sudden red beam of light struck its chest, causing it to lose control of its body and become unable to move.
Build in Faiz Form launched a flying kick, unleashing Crimson Drill intended to pierce the Turtle Rhino and end its life. "Even the strongest castle will collapse from the inside. Give me a limited edition!"
But...
The Turtle Rhino stared blankly down at the red cone of light drilling into its chest, which had been stagnant for ages. With a burst of strength, it sent the creature flying. Sachi, thrown back into Build form by the recoil, rubbed his sore backside, dumbfounded, and stared at the completely unharmed Turtle Rhino. "Hey," he thought, "Its skin is so thick! Even the Crimson Drill couldn't pierce it?"
Having found its target Turtle Rhino roared excitedly and charged towards Xing once more. She sighed helplessly and took out a new full bottle. "I'm sorry, I didn't mean for this to happen."
Unicorn Beetle! Camera! Best Match!
Are you ready?
"Build Up!"
"The Forest News King! BeetleCamera! Yeah!"
The golden Unicorn Beetle and the lens form the knight's compound eyes. A large Unicorn Beetle is mounted on the knight's right hand, its long horn transforming into a drill bit, while the long lens is mounted on his left hand.
Xing habitually brushed his left hand across his goggles, looked at the approaching Ghost Rhino, and slowly said, "Even the strongest castle can collapse from the outside; it all depends on the weapon."
Come on, smile!
The knight, with his gold and blue stripes, raised his left hand, and the camera mounted on his shoulder armor lit up. As if a pause button had been pressed, the rapidly charging Turtle Rhino froze in place.
"The deadline is only a short while, so—"
"Ready Go!" Vortex Finish!"
The drill bit in his right hand suddenly enlarged and began to spin at high speed. Fortunately, he calmed himself down, quickly stepped forward, and began to drill frantically into the seemingly shallowest layer of the Turtle Rhino on its belly.
Thump!
Looking at the broken drill bit and the shallow mark on the tortoise shell, the knight began to doubt his life. Was it that its skin was too thick, or that the tortoise shell was too thick, or that his drill bit was not good enough?
Just then, the brief immobilization ended, Turtle Rhino, feeling a slight pain in its abdomen, flew into a rage. With a wave of its hand, it sent the knight flying far away, and looked at the hole in its tortoise shell with great heartache.
The girl rubbed her sore bottom from the second fall and looked speechlessly at the tortoise-like Turtle Rhino that was crying in pain. "Hey, you're the monster, I'm the knight. Can you stop acting like I'm the villain?"
Forget it, let's finish this quickly, then we can try out the new form.
Fortunately, the Camera Full Bottle, and the watch was put into the bottle.
"Beetle!" Watch! Rider Watch!"
"Then, following the Way of Heaven, one shall be in charge of all things—"
Fortunately, he turned the lever with one hand and pointed to the sky with the other, asking a question in a pretentious manner.
Are you ready?
"Foolish! To ask if the sun is ready?"
Belt. "..."
The bright red armor extends from the belt, and the Kabuto armor, representing the sun god, descends upon the Honkai World.
Kamen Rider Build Kabuto form, here I come.
After the Turtle Rhino finished crying, it charged at the "culprit" once more. The arrogant and domineering Xing, however, remained unfazed, simply turning his back to the enemy and calmly saying as he spun the lever, "Grandma said—"
"What did she say again?"
Just as the Turtle Rhino attacked from behind, the knight moved.
Rider Kick
Without using the ability to accelerate time, it was entirely a strike based on the combination of his own reaction speed and the performance of his armor.
In that brief instant, the knight swiftly turned and kicked, a powerful blow striking the Turtle Rhino's horn with deadly precision. With a thud of breaking and a heavy object hitting the ground, a massive horn crashed to the earth. If the poachers saw this, they might be heartbroken.
"My father said that we must use magic to defeat magic."
Facing the Turtle Rhino who hadn't even had a chance to cry out about losing his beloved horn, Xing showed no pity whatsoever and quickly switched to his Scarlet Drill Form, saying, "Both are attack and defense, let's see who's stronger!"
The giant brown ape fist slammed into the Turtle Rhino's belly, sending it flying several meters away. The knight, who was pushed back by the recoil, did not stop. He conjured a hard diamond barrier and swung his right fist to strike the rhinoceros.
"Diamond Ice Dust Fist!"
With the barrier broken, countless tiny diamonds washed over the Turtle Rhino. In pain, it quickly retreated into its shell to protect itself from the diamond storm.
Faced with the non-violent, uncooperative Turtle Rhino, Xing's attack did not stop at all. He charged forward with a fist bigger than a sandbag and sent it flying into the air with a single punch, in a physical sense.
The enormous tortoise shell soared high into the air, then crashed down, shattering into pieces upon impact. Inside, a naked rhinoceros monster huddled, looking both pitiful and helpless.
In its desperate gaze, the otherworldly knight mercilessly raised her fist—
The Raven was secretly recording, silently covered its eyes. The following scenes are too bloody and violent to be broadcast.
—Luckily: I think I can smell the new toy again—
"How's it going, Little Te?"
"Energy reaction detected from the Smoke Gun."
"Very good, Fire-Chasing Squad, launch!"
"Hey! Those are my lines! Bronya! You stole them again!"

Author's Note—
Mihoyo, you have no sportsmanship!
"Starting with me, ending with me"—was that what it was alluding to?!
[Hi, how are you feeling?] and [From me to the end—from me to the beginning] were the only two parts of this story that made me cry.
I can't control my tears!!!
However, Mei's Origin Armor didn't really inspire me to want to pull for it at first glance. It's not that it's ugly, but rather, I'm too poor.
Regarding Knight Combination, some adjustments have been made:
OOO: The animal represented by the head coin of each group + a full bottle of coins.
For those who don't know, Kamen Rider OOO is a warrior who transforms using Core Medal created through alchemy. There are five types of Core Medal: Bird, Insect, Cat, Water, and Reptile. Each type is further divided into three categories: head, upper body, and lower body.
However, there are exceptions such as Dinosaur Combo, reptile combos (snakes, turtles, crocodiles), and future combos.
Knight Combination OOO: Falcon/Lion/Whale/Rhinoceros/Cobra + Coin.
(Because there's no Full Bottle of Stag Beetle, the Bug-type combo won't be making an appearance, and it's not because of budget issues! Wait a minute, could it be that the reason Build doesn't have Full Bottle of Stag Beetle?!)
New Knight Combination: Agito: Light +?
Dragon Rider: Dragon+?
