A Rider Kick in Marvel ch 30
🕑 Added 2024-05-17 22:44:16 +0000 UTCSeveral days have elapsed since the visit to the X-Mansion. Ace has been in regular contact with the friends he made. They just chatted about their everyday life and they sometimes talked about their missions. Even the Taros joined in. The situation became chaotic but it was fun and lively.
Ace is currently talking with Izu. After months of preparation, the company can officially begin. Izu purchased an abandoned warehouse and restored it to be the company's first base of operations. Ace was impressed with Izu's work. He left the company to her as he did not have an idea of how to make one. But because she is a Humagear and already worked as a secretary for Hiden Intelligence back in her own world. She did not encounter any problems.
The warehouse used to be a factory and has a long rectangular space. It was filled with different assembly lines with robot arms. There are 3 floors, the first floor is the assembly lines and the 2nd floor are office spaces for the employees. The 3rd floor is a small room where the president of the company offices is located.”
“This is amazing, Izu. You did everything perfectly. Sorry if I couldn’t be of any help.”
“It is okay Ace-sama. Please let me handle the company’s operations. You will be the president and all you need is to issue your commands and I will fulfill them.”
“But I have no idea if what I am doing is correct. I’m not talented enough to lead a tech company”
“I’ll be with you every step of the way Ace-sama, don’t worry.”
Ace can only sigh. This was his idea and he needs to go through with it. “Okay, please guide me Izu.”
“Yes, Ace-sama”
“So, what should we do first? Do we create Humagears and sell their services?”
“I don’t recommend we proceed with that, Ace-sama.”
“Why?”
“Based on Zea’s analysis, if released Humagears currently. There would be a high probability that the company would be seized by others and Humagears would be used by others as weapons. We currently don’t have a backer and unless we do or have sufficient influence. It would be dangerous to let the world know of Humagears.”
“I see… I forgot Hydra is still around. They did try to get Tony’s Iron Man suit after all. He has a lot of connections so he won’t get in trouble but for us. We are no better than a baby to other companies or the government. So what should we do? Do we create other technology? I’m sure Zea has some we could use.”
“Yes, Zea had data on many occupations with different technology. We can extract the data to build them here.”
“Then we have a plan. By the way, are we the only ones in the company?”
“Yes, currently only we are registered in the company.”
“We are going to need more hands. Do we create more Humagears for our workers? If we create too much, they might get exposed.”
“A small number should be okay.”
“Then please request Zea to start creating them. Also include Ikazuchi, Naki, and Shesta as well. It is about time they join us. Metsubojinrai should also be complete.”
“...”
“What is it Izu? Why are you quiet?”
“Why do you need Shesta, Ace-sama? I think I as your secretary should be enough.”
“I also think you are enough, Izu but since you people don’t know you are a Humagear. I think you should be the Vice President of the company. You can already think for yourself and you will probably be leading the company most of the time. Shesta can assist me when you’re not around.”
“I refuse, Shesta can be the Vice President. My place is beside you Ace-sama.”
Izu stares at Ace resolutely. He can see from Izu’s neutral face that she is serious and won’t change her mind.
“Okay… you win. You will continue to be my secretary and Shesta can be the Vice President.”
“Thank you Ace-sama.” Izu bows
“I will be leaving for a moment to send the request to Zea, excuse me Ace-sama”
“Okay, be safe.”
Izu walks away but a gentle smile on her face could be seen, unnoticed by her or Ace.
…
In a SHIELD base, Nick Fury is sitting in his chair with a troubled face. He finally went through all the investigative data he had with his own resources. He now knows who is behind SHIELD. It was Hydra and he couldn’t believe it. An organization he thought was defeated by Captain America is alive and the one controlling SHIELD behind the scenes. No, Fury believes they have infiltrated more deeply.
That is what Hydra does. Now he couldn’t trust anybody, not that he did anyway. He could most likely trust only the Avengers, the team he assembled. But even they wouldn’t be able to fight them without knowing who or where they are.
Fury is going to need to investigate and transfer resources without being noticed by Hydra. It will be difficult and he needs time but he has a feeling he doesn’t have it. He looked at another file and it was a project he proposed.
Project Insight. The project involved three linked Helicarriers that would patrol Earth and, with the use of an algorithm that evaluated an individual's behavior, eliminate humans who posed a possible threat. Fury proposed this after the Battle of New York. He thought this project would protect people but now he knows Hydra is the face behind SHIELD. It will become a weapon of mass destruction.
“Dammit!” Fury is furious now that he realizes what is at stake here. He should have thought of destroying those Helicarriers but Fury was reluctant. He has sunk too many resources into Project Insight. If he tells the Avengers, they will surely want to destroy them. He was in a dilemma.
Suddenly his door opens and in comes Natasha. Fury called her a few moments ago to discuss the problem called Hydra.
“Is there any problem boss?” asked Natasha
“Have a seat Agent Romanoff.”
Natasha has seen Fury act like this before. It was only when a dangerous or vital task would be given.
“Please read these.” Fury hands over the Hydra files to Natasha.
She read briefly the files and Natasha's face became heavy.
“Hydra is alive sir? And many of our SHIELD agents are Hydra agents?”
“That is correct Agent Romanoff.”
“Steve needs to know this. He has sworn to end Hydra.”
“He doesn’t need to know right now.”
“Why sir?”
“It is because Hydra is too numerous and is lurking in the dark. We don’t know who we can trust. The Avengers may be fine but I can’t let them know about Hydra yet until we can gather resources and flush them out.”
“And you trust me, sir?” Natasha asked, She knows Nick Fury didn’t trust anybody.
“If you were a Hydra agent I would be dead right now. You met with the Rider and didn’t report his suspicion to anyone else. That makes you trustworthy.
“I’m flattered, so is it just us?”
“Just us, until we can find some other trustworthy people. We do not tell anybody.”
“How about the Rider sir? He might have already known about Hydra. Do we contact him?”
Fury takes a moment to consider the situation. He believes there's a strong possibility that Kamen Rider is already aware of Hydra, which could be the reason for his reluctance to join the Avengers or SHIELD. Fury acknowledges the extent of Kamen Rider's power, even if it's not at its full strength. If he can secure Kamen Rider's assistance, it would greatly strengthen his forces.
“That would be a good idea. Agent Romanoff, you contact the Rider. Tell him I want to meet him face to face. I’ll be gathering personnel and resources for our fight with Hydra. Don’t trust anybody and only report to me. Don’t use any official channels. Hydra could be monitoring it.”
Natasha gladly accepted the mission and left the office. Fury sits down and starts doing his part for the upcoming war against Hydra.
…
Janice Lincoln is walking through a hallway being led by a man in a suit. She is meeting her father’s close associate. She doesn’t know who he is and this is the first time meeting but she has an idea of who it is. They reached their destination and the man opened the door and Janice went in.
She saw a man in a white suit with a large body. He looked quite chubby but beneath his clothes are muscle not fat. He is Wilson Fisk, secretly known as the Kingpin. He is a crime lord of New York City in Hell’s Kitchen, likely the most influential and feared crime lord. He is very intellectual and cunning and runs numerous underground illegal operations. Most can’t even convict him due to his influence and army of lawyers.
“Good evening, Janice. I’m Wilson Fisk, a close associate of your father.”
“It is nice to meet you as well Mr. Fisk. I am well aware of your reputation. Owner of Fisk Industries and your underground… reputation.”
“It seems Ms. Janice is quite knowledgeable.”
“I always wanted to follow in my father’s footsteps. I did my research, Mr. Fisk.”
“Then discussions will be easier.”
The two sat down and began their discussion.
“It is quite a shame what happened to your father. He is a good friend and business partner. Considering his ‘unavailability’ I hope for you to continue his operations.”
“I would have done so even without you saying it. All I want is revenge for what happened to my father.”
“And revenge you shall have my dear. Have you heard of MetsubouJinari.net?”
“Yes, Hammerhead has told me. They are the most likely suspects who harmed my father.”
“That is what I thought so I myself. Please look at these.”
Kingpin showed photos capturing Horobi and Jin in their transformed states.
“These are the photos of this MetsubouJinari.net group. They have been meddling in different operations in New York. They are quite a problem.”
Janice clenched her fist and looked at the photo with fury. She wanted to find and kill these people who harmed her father.
“Have you noticed anything?” asked Fisk
“What?”
“This MetsubouJinari.net has unusual armor, which is quite similar to the vigilante Kamen Rider.”
Kingpin showed photos of Kamen Rider in his different forms to Janice.
“You think that MetsubouJinari.net and Kamen Rider are working together.” Janice asked
“Perhaps, but MetsubouJinari.net has killed people but the Kamen Rider has not. Although there is a connection between the two.”
“So what do you propose?”
“An alliance. We have a common enemy and these pests need to be dealt with. It will also avenge your father. So, what do you say?” Kingpin held out his hand to Janice
“Of course, I will accept. If it is to seek revenge for my father.”
“Then we have a deal.” Kingpin smiles, getting Janice for his help.
