Chereads / Kamen Rider in DC / Chapter 18 - Chapter 18

Chapter 18 - Chapter 18

Haruka, donned in his Amazon Omega armor, prowls the shadowy streets of National City. His heightened senses alert him to cries for help, but he knows he must remain vigilant - the bounty on his head makes him a target. Still, he cannot ignore those in need.

Haruka's mind races as he surveys the dark alley, his senses on high alert. The cries for help tug at his conscience, but the bounty hanging over him makes every move a calculated risk.

He hopes the candroids can find the mastermind behind all of this, but finding the mastermind is not going to be easy. He has interrogated a couple of criminals in the past few days, and the only info he got was that the Black Cobra gang was the one who put the bounty on his head. Their ruthless leader, Snake Head, seems to be the key to unraveling this twisted web.

Amazon sees a Takacandroid approach. The mechanical hawk bobbed its head, signaling it had found something. Haruka followed its gaze, his eyes narrowing behind the helmet's visor.

The Takacandroid took flight, leading Haruka through the winding streets. He moved swiftly, leaping from rooftop to rooftop, his focus unwavering. As they neared a dilapidated warehouse, the Takacandroid circled overhead, its movements urgent.

Haruka landed in the shadows, his boots barely making a sound. He crept closer, his senses heightened. The Takacandroid fluttered beside him, its eyes gleaming. Haruka nodded, understanding the unspoken message.

Cautiously, he approached the warehouse, his muscles coiled and ready to react. Peering through a grimy window, he spotted several men inside, their voices hushed and their movements furtive. Haruka recognized the symbols on their clothing - the Black Cobra gang.

Haruka peered through the grimy window, his eyes narrowing as he listened to the hushed voices of the Black Cobra gang members inside the warehouse. Their words sent a chill down his spine.

"Did you hear about the bounty on Kamen Rider's head?" one of the men said, a sinister grin spreading across his face. "I can't wait to see that freak get what's coming to him."

Another man chuckled, "Yeah, I heard the boss is offering a million bucks to whoever takes him out. This is gonna be fun."

"I bet the Rider won't even see it coming," a third man added, his tone laced with glee. "We'll crush that bug once and for all."

Haruka clenched his fists, his heart pounding in his chest. The knowledge that these criminals were actively hunting him down only heightened his sense of urgency. He had to find a way to stop them before they struck.

Carefully, Haruka backed away from the window, his mind racing with possible strategies. He needed to gather more information, but the threat of the bounty made every move a delicate balancing act. Retreating to a nearby rooftop, he summoned the Takacandroid, its mechanical eyes reflecting the dim city lights.

"Keep an eye on them," Haruka whispered, his voice low and intense. "I need to know their next move."

The Takacandroid bobbed its head in acknowledgment before taking flight, its sleek form disappearing into the shadows.

Haruka watched intently as one of the Black Cobra gang members stepped forward, his voice authoritative.

"The shipment is going out tonight," the man barked. "I want all of you to start loading up those crates. We can't afford any delays."

Haruka's jaw tightened beneath his helmet. Shipments, crates - this was likely the key to unraveling the Black Cobra's latest scheme. He had to find out what they were transporting and where it was headed.

Silently, Haruka signaled the Takacandroid to continue its surveillance. He needed to know more before making his move.

Haruka's heart raced as he watched the Takacandroid relay the information through its live feed. The crates contained a deadly cargo of drugs and weapons - the very tools the Black Cobra gang used to spread their influence and terrorize the city. He couldn't let this shipment reach its destination.

Gripping the edge of the rooftop, Haruka's mind whirred with possibilities. He needed to stop them, but the bounty on his head made every move a dangerous gamble. Still, he couldn't ignore the threat these weapons posed to the innocent people of National City.

Reaching into one of the crates, Haruka's fingers wrapped around a cold, metallic object - a grenade. His jaw tightened as he weighed the risks, but the lives at stake outweighed his own safety. With a deep breath, he pulled the pin and hurled the explosive into the stack of crates below.

The deafening blast shook the warehouse, sending flames and debris into the air. Haruka watched as the fire rapidly spread, engulfing the crates and sending the Black Cobra men into a panicked frenzy.

"What the hell is going on?!" one of the thugs yelled, scrambling to put out the flames.

Haruka didn't waste a moment. Leaping down from the rooftop, he landed amidst the chaos, his Amazon Omega armor gleaming in the flickering light.

"It's the Kamen Rider!" another man shouted, his eyes wide with fear.

Without hesitation, Haruka charged forward, his enhanced strength and speed giving him the upper hand. He slammed one thug against the wall, then whirled around to block a swing from a baseball bat. Grabbing the weapon, he snapped it in half and delivered a powerful kick, sending the man flying.

The remaining Black Cobra members scattered, their panic fueling their desperation. Haruka moved with calculated precision, his claws and blades cutting through their defenses with ease. He needed to incapacitate them quickly and secure the remaining crates before the entire warehouse went up in flames.

As he fought, Haruka couldn't help but feel a twinge of regret. These men, while criminals, were still human beings. But the knowledge of the bounty on his head and the threat of the weapons they carried left him no choice. He had to stop them, no matter the cost.

One by one, the Black Cobra men fell, their cries of pain and fear echoing through the warehouse. Haruka paused, surveying the scene with a heavy heart. He had done what was necessary, but the weight of his actions settled upon his shoulders.

Turning his attention to the remaining crates, Haruka quickly scanned them, looking for any other explosives or hazardous materials. He needed to secure the area and call the authorities before the entire building collapsed.

As he worked, a sudden movement in the shadows caught his eye. Whirling around, Haruka came face to face with a figure cloaked in darkness, its eyes gleaming with malice.

"So, you're the Kamen Rider," a deep, raspy voice growled. "The boss has been looking forward to meeting you."

Haruka tensed, his senses heightening as he recognized the threat before him. This must be the mysterious Hellhound, the assassin hired by the Black Cobra gang to hunt him down.

Haruka stared at the figure before him, his heart pounding in his chest. The man's deep, raspy voice sent a chill down his spine.

"Who are you?" Haruka demanded, his voice modulated by the Amazon Omega suit.

The man stepped forward, his features becoming visible in the flickering light. "I am Hellhound," he said, a sinister grin spreading across his face. "And I've been hired to collect the bounty on your head."

Haruka tensed, his mind racing as he considered his options. The warehouse was in chaos, and he needed to secure the remaining crates before the entire building collapsed.

Hellhound let out a sharp whistle, and Haruka's eyes widened as a pack of snarling dogs emerged from the shadows, their eyes fixed on him.

"These are my associates," Hellhound said, his tone dripping with pride. "They're trained to hunt and kill. And they'll be more than happy to take you down."

The dogs circled Haruka, their hackles raised and their jaws snapping. Haruka knew he couldn't afford to be distracted by Hellhound's threats. He had to act quickly.

Hellhound is a deadly mercenary and martial artist known for his exceptional combat skills and ruthless demeanor. His fighting style is a blend of fluid movements and devastating strikes, honed through years of intense training in various forms of martial arts. Hellhound's reflexes are lightning-fast, allowing him to react and counter with precision. He is also a skilled tracker, able to hunt down his targets with uncanny precision. The pack of vicious, trained attack dogs at his command only adds to his formidable arsenal, making him a truly formidable opponent for even the most seasoned heroes.

Haruka tenses, his senses on high alert as he assesses the threat before him. Hellhound's reputation precedes him, and Haruka knows he cannot underestimate this skilled assassin. The pack of dogs circles closer, their snarls echoing through the chaotic warehouse.

Summoning his enhanced strength, Haruka swept his arm in a wide arc, sending a powerful shockwave that sent the dogs tumbling back. He then turned his attention to the crates, his fingers flying across the controls of his Amazon Omega suit.

"I don't have time for this," Haruka muttered, his voice laced with determination. "I have more important things to do than fight a man with his rabid dogs."

Hellhound let out a low chuckle, his eyes narrowing. "Oh, you're not going anywhere, Kamen Rider. Not until I collect my prize."

The dogs regained their footing, their eyes locked on Haruka. Hellhound raised his hand, his fingers curling into a fist.

"Attack," he commanded, his voice laced with malice.
