Kamen Rider: High Beam Rider (starting from Saber)

"What are you going to do?" Anku looked at Lan Su warily.

"Ah, I'll go take a look. Besides, I'm pretty strong, and I can protect you on the way."

Lan Su scratched his head sheepishly. He did want to go and watch the live broadcast, and also to check on Ying Si's condition to see if there was any hope of saving him.

Eiji's current physical life seems to be entirely dependent on the artificial greedy being 'Goda' for support.

In addition, Lan Su remembered that Goda was also created by the Hong Shang Foundation, with the purpose of dealing with the resurrected king.

"Tch, do whatever you want! If you try anything funny, I'll kill you!"

Anku gave Lansu a warning look and walked toward the base that Eiji had told him about.

Bina quickly explained for Anku, "Ransoo, don't worry about it, that's just Anku's personality."

"Ah, I can tell, he's a bit of a tsundere." Lan Su teased deliberately, her voice reaching Anku's ears.

"Huh? Tsundere? Lan Su, you're quite right." Hina covered her mouth and chuckled.

Ankh's forehead veins bulged, and he said in an annoyed tone, "Hey, you two! Aren't you going to find Eiji or not!"

"Coming right now, coming right now."

Bina and Ransu quickly followed Anku.

"Humph."

Anku snorted and walked forward on his own, ignoring Lan Su and the other person.

P.S.: Is this too rambling, everyone? I spoke too fast during the 01 theatrical version, and it feels like I didn't write anything at all. Suggestions are welcome.

Chapter 54 Eiji's Rootless Life

Inside a dimly lit bar.

Metz, the water-type greedy one, was sitting at the bar with a straw, blowing bubbles from the foam inside the bottle.

The insect-type greedy creature, Wu Fan, idly hit a bottle with his golf club. "There aren't many humans left. Let's clean this up quickly."

“We must obey the king’s orders,” Kazali, the cat-like greedy one, replied casually as he sat on the sofa, painting his nails.

Upon hearing this answer, Wu Fan felt a surge of emotion. "This has nothing to do with him, right?"

"Is that so?" Kazali asked in return.

"Huff huff huff".

A pair of bubbles floated toward Ufan and Kazali. Mezle warned, "If you want to anger the King and turn back into coins, then keep arguing like this."

“I hate going back into the coins.” The weight-based greedy man, Gamel, stomped his feet like a child to express his dislike.

“Waaah.”

The curtains fell to the floor with a thud, and a figure slowly emerged from the shadows of the bar.

Upon seeing the newcomer, the four greedy individuals all rose and bowed respectfully.

King Oz slowly walked into the light and held up a finger. "Another greedy one has been resurrected."

Metz asked doubtfully, "Another greedy one?"

"Could it be Anku?" Kazali immediately thought of Anku, who had always been their enemy.

"I will seize Ankur's core coin. With that, I will become stronger and completely solidify my position." King Oz stretched out his palm and slowly clenched it, as if Ankur's core coin was already in his hands.

"Leave it to me! I'm going to take that guy's core coin no matter what."

Wu Fan volunteered for the task, seemingly having grown tired of the tedious waiting.

The other three greedy individuals all looked at Ufan, with Mezl and Kazali staring at him as if he were an idiot.

…………

Lansu and Bina followed Anku into a bridge tunnel and found an iron gate on the east wall of the bridge.

Is Eiji really in here?

Hina looked at the dilapidated iron gate and felt puzzled.

That's what he told me.

Ankula opened the iron gate and led Lan Su and Bina inside.

The three of them walked through the corridor where they had fainted and entered a spacious space that looked like a private entertainment room.

Lan Su stopped and turned to look behind a wall. Eiji walked out from behind the wall.

"Ankh, you brought Hina along, and a new friend too."

"Eiji!" Hina heard Eiji's voice, turned around immediately, and excitedly hugged him when she saw that it really was Eiji.

"Thank goodness, you're still alive."

Eiji's expression was a little stiff, as if he couldn't accept this concern. "I'm sorry to have worried you."

"Because the injury is too serious, I will stay here to recuperate for the time being."

Lan Su's mental energy swept over Eiji's body, his eyes gleaming slightly as he saw the poisonous insect-type core coin inside Eiji's body.

They are 'centipede, bee, and ant'.

Completely oblivious to Ransu's prying eyes, Eiji approached Ankh and said, "You brought Hina along, so you must know what happened, right?"

"Yes, I know." Ankh felt increasingly that something was wrong with Eiji in front of him. He replied verbally while secretly activating his Hawkeye to observe him.

"I'm going to beat that guy. Anku, can you lend me a hand?"

Without even thinking, Ankur immediately refused, "I refuse!"

"Ankh?" Hina was a little confused. Although Ankh was a bit arrogant, he wouldn't talk to Eiji like that.

Anku retorted defiantly, "Are you an idiot? I'm a greedy person! Human lives are inextricably linked to human life."

"Hahaha." Eiji laughed from behind.

"What are you laughing at?" Anku stared at Eiji with displeasure.

Eiji smiled and approached Ankh. "I just feel that you will tell me the truth."

“Then, as a condition for the exchange,” Eiji said, holding up one index finger in front of Anku.

“What?” Anku grabbed Eiji’s outstretched finger.

"Ankur, if you come to my aid, I'll give you back your core coins. Don't you want your core coins back?"

Eiji's words made Anku's heart sink. He had already seen the three unfamiliar core coins inside Eiji's body.

But he was still unwilling to give up and tentatively said, "Since you want me to help you, have an ice pop to try first."

Upon hearing this, Eiji laughed heartily, "I knew you would say that."

He took an ice pop from the freezer and handed it to Anku, saying, "Here you go."

Anku took the popsicle, tore open the packaging, and took a bite without hesitation.

"It's so nice, it feels like we've gone back to the old days." Seeing Ankh and Eiji's collaboration, Hina's face lit up with a smile, and she couldn't help but recall the time the three of them spent together.

While the group was talking, Lan Su was also busy.

He carefully observed Eiji's current physical condition; he was almost completely devoid of life and had very little mental energy left.

The reason we can move freely now is entirely due to the power provided by 'Godda's' core coins.

"By the way, Eiji. How is that little girl?" Hina asked about the little girl that Eiji had risked his life to protect.

"A girl?" Eisuke suddenly asked, puzzled.

"Yes, it's the little girl you saved before."

Eiji seemed to have thought of something, and said in a calm tone, "Ah, that girl, she's already dead."

"There's nothing we can do about it; life and death are predestined."

"Eiji!" Ankh put down the ice cream he was eating and looked at Eiji with a cold gaze, but in the end he didn't expose him.

"Mr. Ida..."

"Ah, you felt it too, didn't you?"

Goto and Date, who had been secretly following from the shadows, also noticed that Eiji was acting strangely.

"Shh!"

Just then, Wu Fan followed Anku's scent and came over.

As soon as he appeared, he lunged at Anku with a clear objective.

Eiji's eyes lit up, and he took the opportunity to ask Anku for the core coins.

Due to the critical situation, Ankh had no choice but to throw the core coin to Eiji, allowing him to transform into Ouz Battle.

"Oh! I've been wanting to try this for a while now."

Eiji took the coin and placed it into the OZ drive; the O ring swept across it.

"TAKA (Eagle)! TORA (Tiger)! BATTA (Locust)!"

"TATOBA! TATOBA! TATOBA! (The Hawk-Tiger-Locust Company)!"

Having successfully transformed, Oz immediately attacked Wu Fan with swift and decisive moves, leaving everyone frowning as they watched.

"You've noticed too, haven't you? That guy isn't one of your comrades."

“I sensed the same aura of a greedy person in him.”

Ransu arrived at the side of Hina, Date, and Goto, who had gathered together sometime earlier, and stood with his arms crossed, watching the battle unfold.

During the battle, Oz wanted to ask Ankur for other core coins, but Ankur hesitated.

Seeing that Anku was slow to give him the coins, Oz actually reached into Wufan's body and forcibly snatched his core coin.

“How could this be…” Hina refused to believe what Ransu said and turned to look at the two people beside her, seemingly wanting their support as well.

"As expected, that person wasn't Hino."

Date looked solemnly at Oz, who had just defeated Ufan using the Bug-Type Link, his eyes filled with dejection.

The victorious Oz was not satisfied with merely defeating Uvan; he even wanted to crush Uvan's core coin, but was stopped by Ankh.

"Hey, Ankh, what are you doing?"

Although Ying Si didn't understand, he casually tossed Wu Fan's coins aside and let him leave.

The cunning and cunning man, Pang Cheng, was determined to uncover Ying Si's true identity.

"You're a glutton, aren't you? Why are you taking over Eiji's body?"

Now that things have come to this, Anku directly and bluntly exposed the fake Eiji's identity.

"Haha, no wonder you were once partners."

Kaeji scratched his hair in distress, turned his back, and when he turned back, his eyes and hair had changed color.

"My name is Goda! I'm just borrowing Eiji's body for now."

Hina: "What do you mean?"

“I saw the core coin of the Greedy One inside Eiji’s body.”

“You say your name is Goda? I’ve never heard of any greedy person named Goda.”

Anku stared at 'Goda,' wondering where this strange, greedy person had come from.

A small robot made of canned food appeared in the scene and transformed into a projection device.

Hongshang Guangsheng appeared in the scene!

"In the past, the Hon Hai Precision Industry Foundation wanted to develop its own core coin..."

Upon hearing Hongshang Guangsheng's first words, Anku sighed wearily, "You guys really know how to create trouble."

Lansu strongly agreed with Anku's statement that many disasters in the world were caused by the Hon Hai Precision Industry Foundation.

"After countless failures, I realized that creating Core Coin required an extremely strong desire."

"Therefore, Eiji caught my attention, and the artificial core coin based on Eiji's enormous desire data was born!"
