Rabbit! Dragon! Temporary Partners! (Part 1)

(Note: Please pay close attention to the details throughout this chapter and visualize the scenes in your mind; otherwise, your viewing experience will be greatly different from what you expected.)

I thought the Jackal would choose a location in the city where they couldn't operate freely, but they were surprised to find themselves in a desolate mountain area. How thoughtful of them?

How ridiculous! How could that Dog-headed Strategist possibly have such an idea? Maybe he arranged for some large monster to be placed in this environment to facilitate combat or something like that.

Is Kane alright? If the Jackal has taken control of his mind and wants to see a good show of infighting, should I beat him to death or beat him to death?

Kane, who was locked up, suddenly sneezed. Those bastards had taken his full bottle and gel, leaving him with only a Grip Driver. Damn it, that Dog-headed Strategist was definitely trying to use this opportunity to mock him about "what's the furthest distance in the world," you bastards!!!

Moreover, that Dog-headed Strategist is so lacking in martial ethics. He used a snake-shaped armor to scare him when they first met. This time, he somehow found a giant snake. If I hadn't been scared by him, I definitely wouldn't have lost!

Luming, please be very careful!

——Creating a Gate——

The biting wind howled, the twelfth lunar month was approaching, and winter was already upon us. Luming sincerely hoped that her partner would not become a sacrifice to the Kamen Rider Tradition, since Christmas was still a while away.

Staring at the bright red Rabbit Full Bottle in her hand, the girl patted her frozen face and continued walking alone on the quiet mountain path.

"... I hope he is whole, after all, he was the first friend I truly made in this world."

She prayed for her friend in her heart, but if her friend really lost control, she would not hesitate to fight and let her friend die gloriously as a warrior.

The plan exists, but the risk of executing it is quite high. But speaking of risk, when haven't I always taken enormous risks?

Thinking this, the girl quickened her pace.

The Jackal didn't keep her waiting long.

When she arrived at the Jackal's designated location, the expected scene did not appear. Just as she was wondering, she felt a fluctuation in the space around her, and the surrounding scenery became dazzling. When her vision returned to normal, she found herself in an unfamiliar place.

"(Holy crap, seriously? They even did a space displacement?)"

The neatly arranged mechanical soldiers came into view, their cold weapons gleaming in the sunlight. The girl paid them no heed, her gaze fixed on the steel building behind them.

The walls on both sides stretched as far as the eye could see, suggesting that the area occupied must have been quite large, costing the Jackal a considerable sum.

The mechanical soldiers marched in unison to her, projecting multiple red dots onto the girl's vital parts, but this posed no threat to her whatsoever.

The leading mechanical soldiers held special panels in their hands, inlaid with the Dragon Lock Fullbottle and other auxiliary Bottles that Kane had taken earlier.

"Xin Kaslana, you know what to do."

One robot's head lit up, emitting the triumphant voice of Jackal- like figure. Another robot's head projected an image of Kane, locked in an iron cage with a look of utter despair. The cage was suspended in the air, with a pool of unidentified liquid below.

"Hurry up and hand over all your full bottles, or else... heh, you don't want to see your boyfriend fall into a pool of sulfuric acid, do you?"

"He's not my boyfriend. Even if I were to find a boyfriend, I wouldn't choose someone this stupid," Luming corrected, not forgetting to stab her partner in the back. "By the way, if you really kill him, it won't affect me much. At most, it will make me cut you into smaller pieces when I'm tearing you to pieces."

The Jackal was speechless. "Hey, who's the villain between us? You're a righteous Valkyrie, a descendant of the Lord. Is it really okay to always act like a villain?"

"That's not up to you!"

At Jackal's command, all the robots present simultaneously took out new Smoke Gun and gear engines. Luming understood that Jackal had indeed mass-produced the Caesar System. She wondered if the Danger Trigger was ready yet.

Once it's ready, you can grab it.

Luming thought to herself.

The Jackal gazed smugly at the girl in the image, hesitated for a moment, then took out several full bottles from his pocket and inserted them into the panels, which emitted a continuous beeping sound. "I forgot to tell you, these panels have the ability to distinguish between genuine and fake. Hmm, honest child, you didn't try to fool me with counterfeit goods."

First, the best combination includes: Rabbit Tank, Hawk Gatling, Gorilla Diamond, Ninja Manga, Phoenix Robot, Dragon Chain, Shark Motorcycle, Shark Motorcycle, Panda Rocket, Octopus Light Bulb, Wild Wolf Smartphone, Hedgehog Fire Truck, Tiger UFO, Unicorn Beetle Camera, Turtle Watch, Ghost Magnet, etc.

The girl lamented that she hadn't used several of the outfits she acquired since then.

Next up are the full bottles for which the best pairings haven't been found yet: cobra, bat, lion, bear, rhinoceros, and rose.

All the full bottles that Build has ever used, as recorded in the World Serpent Archives, are gathered together at this moment.

"Good boy~ But there's still one left!"

Luming paused her hand as she reached into her bosom, but still took out the bubble Rabbit Tank bottle.

Anyway, I have more than one transformation device, so I can use whichever one I want.

Luming thought to herself as she let the other party take away her limiter.

"Hahaha!" The Jackal's infuriating laughter made the girl clench her fists. "Very well, I, the Jackal, am not one to break contracts. Come, the gates are open for you. Go and reunite with your friends. Oh, by the way, welcome back to the embrace of the [Snake], my dear princess."

"...nausea."

Surrounded by mechanical soldiers, Luming was led to a prison where Kane, now depicted in black and white, was imprisoned. He sat with his back to the cell door, only turning around when he heard footsteps. Upon seeing his partner, he froze in surprise.

The smart cell door opened automatically, and the girl obediently walked in, then, under the watchful eyes of the Jackal watching the live stream, the Raven using the free Wi-Fi to watch the live stream, and Kane—

He punched Kane hard in the handsome face.

???

Jackal:??? (Is this because he resents the trouble Jackal caused him and is so angry he wants to beat him up?)

Raven:??? (Is the little guy throwing a tantrum, complaining that we caught him by accident?)

Kane:??? (Luming, why did you hit me? You can hit me if you're angry, but please don't hit my face!)

One wanted to fight, and the other wanted to be beaten. Under the watchful eyes of a bunch of mechanical soldiers watching the show and two World Serpent executives watching the live stream, Luming unleashed a series of cool punches that turned Kane's head into a pig's head. Only then did she stop and lean against the wall, panting. Her coat, which had long been taken off due to the heat from the exercise, was thrown aside. The sweaty girl kicked the innocent boy who had been beaten, "Hey, are you still alive?"

"I'm not far from death..." Kane replied bitterly.

"Hmm, it seems you weren't controlled, so I'm relieved." Luming Lady, who had scanned Kane's entire body with her Honkai Vision from the very beginning to confirm that he was alright, said with a flushed face and shortness of breath (she had just finished exercising).

"Luming, you don't need to think of a reason if you want to beat me up..."

The mechanical soldier gradually disappeared into the distance amidst the Jackal's silly grin of revenge. Before leaving, he didn't forget to give her an injection. With her back to her partner, Luming lifted the clothes over her abdomen, revealing her smooth and flat stomach in the rising steam.

"Did the Jackal also give you this?"

"Uh, to my shame, I was eating barbecue at a roadside stall, but little did I know it was run by World Serpent..."

"... Okay, it's not your fault."

Luming's expression was calm, which reassured Kane. He touched his swollen face and asked, "Luming, what do we do next?"

Upon hearing this, the girl looked at him as if he were an idiot. "Hey, we've both been arrested, and we don't even know where this godforsaken place is. What are we going to do? Let's just give up."

Kane: "..."

Hey, don't extinguish my last hope!

"Luming, you're joking, right?" Kane looked at her hopefully, hoping she would playfully say it was a joke, just like she always did when she teased him. But her expression didn't seem fake, and Kane's enthusiasm immediately cooled down.

"Then what are you doing here Luming..." Kane said dejectedly, "It's alright if something happens to me, but why did you come along Luming?"

The girl gave her a sharp flick on the forehead, annoyed. "What else? You just stood by and watched you fall into that Dog-headed Strategist's hands without doing anything? I, Chen Xilumeng, am not that kind of cold-blooded person. Besides..."

Her voice suddenly became much softer, "Besides, you're quite pleasing to the eye, it would be such a waste for you to die like this."

Um, did Luming blush just now?

Kane discovered the blind spot.

Note: The face turns red because you have just finished strenuous exercise and your body temperature has not yet dropped.

"Phew, I'm exhausted, I need a rest." Sitting on the small bed in the cell, Idol Lady shifted her bottom restlessly. The quality of this stuff is terrible. It's true what they say, it's easy to go from frugality to luxury and difficult to go from luxury to frugality.

She glanced at Kane, who was huddled in the corner trembling, sighed helplessly, patted the empty seat next to her, and gestured for him to sit down.

Seeing that Kane had no intention of coming over, she impatiently patted him again, letting out a threatening snort.

Seeing that Kane still wasn't coming over, the angry girl pulled a washboard from her skirt and threw it on the floor. As soon as the board hit the ground, the boy's knee landed precisely on it.

Kane, who instinctively knelt down, said, "... Damn, I'm used to it."

While training at the Schicksal Headquarters Julia suddenly felt very flustered, but she couldn't explain why. She could only vent all her anger in the simulation war room.

Pulling Kane to sit beside her, the Rabbit Dragon Duo were immediately plunged into an awkward and delicate atmosphere. A man and a woman so close in this enclosed space meant...

"What are you thinking about?!" Noticing Kane's infatuation, Luming stomped her high heel on his foot in anger, making him gasp in pain. He quickly recalled the Ice Heart Art his partner had taught him some time ago... How did he pronounce the first line again?

"Cough cough, it's too cold in here, that's why I dragged you over. Don't think too much about it." Luming gently stepped on the ground again, then closed her eyes, preparing to take a nap. She'd been through a lot these past few days, and just when she was hoping to get some rest, this happened. Sigh. Oh well, at least she wasn't as diligent as Triga.

(No, when the Ultraman crossover episodes come out, you'll realize that the Triga, Nexus, and Ultraman Max crossovers are nothing.)

Kane thought for a moment, "Luming, if you want to keep warm, you shouldn't hug..."

As the saying goes, loose lips sink ships, and unsurprisingly, his partner gave him a sharp rap on the head, which immediately silenced him.

After a moment of calm, he looked up at the two hands clasped together.

"Luming..."

"Um?"

"We're partners, right?"

"No, just temporary partners."

——Xingmen——

In the Jackal's lab, the dark-skinned woman impatiently placed the red Drive Armor into the equipment for a thorough inspection. "Damn it, damn it, damn it! I just checked it, how come there's another error? It's definitely because of insufficient data. Tsk, when will we be able to officially put it into use?"

"But as long as that little guy is in my hands, I won't have to worry about getting the data. Speaking of which, she and that guy named Kane seem to have a pretty good relationship. If I kill him in front of her, how much of a shock will it cause her? That little guy who says he doesn't care but is actually very concerned about him? Will you Artificial Honkai Eruption in extreme anger? Let me see how much power you have left."

"I'm really looking forward to seeing what the results of this experiment will be."

Note: The Artificial Honkai Eruption is an epic-level boss created by the development team without any thought.

After a while--

Escorted by mechanical soldiers, the Rabbit Dragon Rider 2, were taken to a huge platform surrounded by a deep water tank filled with an unknown liquid. Only one passage led to the outside of the platform.

Luming then released Kane's hand, which she had been holding tightly, and took out a handkerchief to wipe it. She knew that if she held hands for a long time, her palms would sweat, which was absolutely unacceptable to the Idol Lady had a cleanliness obsession.

Just then, she suddenly coughed violently, instinctively covering her lips with her handkerchief. The considerate Kane assumed she had caught a chill and gently patted her back until he noticed a glaring stain of bright red on the handkerchief. Remembering that the girl hadn't returned home for the past few days, he began to suspect something.

The girl and boy remained silent, the only sounds on the vast platform being their breathing and their increasingly rapid heartbeats, until the Jackal's annoying voice broke the silence.

"Alright, gentlemen, before we officially begin this great experiment, please allow me to serve you an appetizer."

A mechanical soldier, indistinguishable from any other grunt, stepped onto the platform. The Drive Armor worn on its waist caught the attention of the two men; they were all too familiar with it, for it was—

Build Driver (Jackal Manufacturing)

Luming stared intently at the red and blue bottles in her belt; they were her full bottles!

"I admit that Tesla, the inventor of the Ex-Aid System, had some talent, but only I can make this invention truly shine! Just watch, the Build's True Evolved Form!"

A red activation device emerged from the partition in the soldier's abdomen and quickly inserted itself above his belt, initiating the transformation before the two could even react.

In stark contrast to Rider Build's basic transformation, a steel frame tightly clamps the mechanical soldier in the middle, accompanied by a deep voice from Jackal, and the Black Knight exuding a dangerous and ominous aura appears before Rabbit Dragon Duo.

Kamen Rider Build: Hazard Rabbit Tank (Incomplete Version) is here!

Hazard Rabbit Tank

Note: The Danger Trigger is still a semi-finished product, so it is not a complete version. The performance of the finished product is much higher than that of the semi-finished product.

Without the slightest hesitation, Luming took out the First Generation of the Dragon Gel from her sleeve and inserted it into the Grip Driver. "Kane, give it your all! Don't slack off in the slightest, or we'll really die this time!"

Without needing a reminder, Kane could sense the danger emanating from that creature and naturally became extremely vigilant. But why was Luming so afraid? Had she fought it before? If so... this young master wouldn't let it get away with it!

Cross-Z Charge!

"Dragon!" Lock! Best Match!"

"What's going on?" Jackal stared dumbfounded at the two people transforming on the screen. "Aren't all your full bottles with me?"

Sorry, I made two sets of the full bottle! ×2

The two answered in unison and engaged the black knight in battle.
