Chereads / Kamen Rider in DC / Chapter 22 - Chapter 22

Chapter 22 - Chapter 22

Haruka stood before the Black Cobra gang, his Amazon Omega armor gleaming. The armed men turned to face him, tightening their grips on their weapons. Haruka's presence demanded their attention.

Snake Head, the gang's ruthless leader, glared at Haruka, the Kamen Rider. Tension hung thick in the air as the gang members waited for Snake Head's order, their fingers twitching on the triggers.

Haruka's enhanced senses heighten, allowing him to read the gang's body language and anticipate their next move. He remains poised, his muscles coiled, ready to spring into action at the slightest provocation. The air crackles with the weight of the confrontation, each side sizing up the other, waiting for the first move.

Snake Head's cold, calculating gaze sweeps over Amazon Omega, his lips curling into a sneer. Haruka can sense the gang leader's contempt, his desire to crush the vigilante who has disrupted his criminal empire. The moment hangs suspended, the only sound the faint rustling of the gang members as they shift their stances, the silence pregnant with the promise of violence.

Haruka's gaze remained steady as Snake Head addressed him, the gang leader's words dripping with condescension.

"So we finally meet, Kamen Rider. You know it is not nice to disrupt a man's business." Snake Head's lips curled into a sneer.

Haruka's voice was firm, unwavering. "If the business is selling drugs and trafficking women, I'll gladly destroy your business."

The gang members shifted, their weapons at the ready, but Snake Head raised a hand, silencing them. He stepped forward, his eyes narrowing as he studied the Kamen Rider.

Haruka watched as Snake Head's demeanor shifted, the gang leader's harsh expression softening into an almost friendly smile.

"You know, Kamen Rider, we're not so different, you and I," Snake Head said, taking a step closer. "We both want what's best for this city, to protect the people and make sure they're taken care of."

Haruka remained silent, his posture tense, ready to react at the slightest provocation.

"Look at you, a young man with so much power, so much potential," Snake Head continued, his tone almost paternal. "Imagine what we could accomplish if we worked together. The things we could achieve, the wealth and influence we could have."

Haruka felt a twinge of unease as Snake Head's words washed over him. The gang leader's sudden change in attitude was unsettling, and Haruka couldn't help but wonder if there was a hidden agenda behind his words.

"You've already shown what you're capable of, Kamen Rider," Snake Head said, his voice lowering to a conspiratorial tone. "Just think of the good we could do, the lives we could change, if we combined our resources and our strength."

Haruka remained silent, his mind racing as he tried to discern Snake Head's true intentions. The gang leader's words were laced with a subtle persuasiveness, and Haruka found himself tempted, if only for a moment, by the promise of power and influence.

"We could rule this city, Kamen Rider," Snake Head said, his eyes gleaming with a predatory intensity. "Together, we'd be unstoppable."

Haruka stared at Snake Head, his heart pounding in his chest. The gang leader's words were laced with a seductive promise, but Haruka knew better than to be drawn in by such empty rhetoric.

"I don't want to rule the city," Haruka said, his voice firm. "I just want to live in peace, knowing that people like you won't be harming innocent lives."

Snake Head's brow furrowed, his expression shifting from amiable to one of irritation.

"Don't be a fool, Kamen Rider," he spat. "With our combined power, we could reshape this city, make it a place where everyone is taken care of."

Haruka shook his head, his resolve unwavering.

"Your idea of 'taking care of' people involves drugs, trafficking, and extortion. I won't be a part of that, no matter what you offer."

Snake Head's lips thinned, his eyes narrowing dangerously.

"Then you leave me no choice," he growled,

Haruka tensed as Snake Head's hand moved towards his jacket. In a flash, the gang leader pulled out a handgun, leveling it at Haruka.

"Men, open fire!" Snake Head commanded, his voice laced with fury.

The air erupted with the deafening roar of gunfire as the Black Cobra gang members unleashed a barrage of bullets towards Haruka. The Kamen Rider braced himself, his enhanced reflexes allowing him to dodge and weave through the hail of projectiles.

Haruka's heart pounded in his chest as he ducked behind a stack of crates, using them as cover. The heavy rounds tore through the wooden planks, splintering them with each impact. Haruka knew he couldn't remain stationary for long.

Peering out from his hiding spot, Haruka spotted the gang members advancing, their weapons trained on his position. He could see the glint of grenade launchers among them, a clear indication that they were not holding back.

Gritting his teeth, Haruka leapt out from his cover, his Amazon Omega armor deflecting the incoming bullets. He charged towards the gang members, his movements a blur as he weaved through the hail of gunfire.

Reaching the first group, Haruka unleashed a flurry of punches and kicks, his enhanced strength shattering their weapons and sending them tumbling to the ground. He pressed on, his focus unwavering as he systematically incapacitated the gang members, one by one.

The sound of a grenade launcher echoed through the docks, and Haruka instinctively raised his arm, the Battler Grip transforming into a shield that absorbed the explosive impact. The force of the blast sent him skidding back, but he remained steadfast, his determination fueling his movements.

Haruka caught sight of Snake Head, the gang leader taking advantage of the chaos to make his escape. Gritting his teeth, Haruka pursued him, his enhanced speed allowing him to close the distance. As he neared Snake Head, the gang leader turned and unleashed a barrage of shots from a high-caliber rifle.

Haruka raised his hand, deflecting the rounds, but the sheer force of the impacts was enough to stagger him. He pressed on, unwilling to let Snake Head slip away. Reaching out, Haruka grabbed the gang leader's weapon, yanking it from his grasp.

Snake Head's eyes widened in panic as he realized his advantage was slipping away. He turned and fled, his men providing cover fire to allow their leader to escape.

Haruka let out a frustrated growl, his grip tightening on the rifle. He knew he couldn't let Snake Head get away, but the well-armed gang members presented a formidable obstacle. Weighing his options, Haruka made a decision.

Turning his attention back to the remaining gang members, Haruka charged forward, his enhanced strength and agility allowing him to overwhelm them. He disarmed them, rendering them unconscious, all the while keeping a watchful eye on the retreating figure of Snake Head.

As the last of the gang members fell, Haruka let out a heavy sigh, his gaze fixed on the distant figure of the escaping gang leader. He had failed to apprehend Snake Head, but he couldn't allow the criminal to slip away. Steeling his resolve, Haruka took off in pursuit, determined to put an end to the Black Cobra gang's reign of terror.

Haruka, his Amazon Omega armor gleaming, pursued Snake Head as the gang leader fled towards the container ship. Gritting his teeth, Haruka pushed his enhanced speed to the limit, determined not to let the criminal escape.

As Haruka neared the ship, he saw Snake Head barking orders to his men, his expression one of urgency.

"Stall the Kamen Rider!" Snake Head shouted. "I need time to get on that ship!"

The gang members scattered, brandishing their weapons and opening fire on Haruka. The Kamen Rider braced himself, his enhanced reflexes allowing him to dodge the hail of bullets. He surged forward, his fists colliding with the gang members, knocking them back one by one.

"You won't escape this time, Snake Head!" Haruka growled, his voice distorted by the Amazon Omega helmet.

Haruka watches in frustration as Snake Head makes a break for the container ship, his footsteps pounding against the wooden dock. Gritting his teeth, Haruka redoubles his efforts, determined to stop the gang leader before he can board the vessel.

The container ship begins to pull away from the dock, and Haruka curses under his breath as Snake Head's smug gaze taunts him from the deck. The Black Cobra gang members are no match for Haruka's enhanced speed and strength, and he has dispatched the last of them with ease.

Without hesitation, Haruka leaps forward, his Amazon Omega armor lending him incredible agility. He digs his clawed fingers into the side of the ship, feeling the metal give way under his grip. With a mighty heave, he pulls himself up, his powerful legs propelling him onto the deck.

Snake Head's eyes widened in alarm as Haruka advanced, the Kamen Rider's presence a formidable force to be reckoned with. Haruka could feel the adrenaline coursing through his veins, his senses heightened and his determination unwavering.

"It's over, Snake Head," Haruka growled, his voice distorted by the Amazon Omega helmet. "You have nowhere to run."
