A cloudy day, as Ken carried relatively small steel girders across a scaffold in front of the sign of a new shop in Akiba. He never really got the appeal of some of the things in this town, but work was work, and he had work to do.

"Wow~!" Naoko exclaimed as she looked around the electric town. "I don't know what Isuzu was saying, this place is amazing! So many different types of people! All the costumes! All the technology! It's a testament to this nation's greatness!" Naoko then began to walk around the town, hoping to find something of interest. She had chosen to go causal today, to try and divert as much attention from herself as possible. At least that way she would blend in instead of looking like a member of the royal family.

After delivering the girders to one of his workers, Ken plopped down for a little break, noticing a young woman, not likely more than twenty, maybe twenty one at most, in a rather nice, if common, outfit, her black jacket complimenting the curve-hugging skinny jeans she had on, exemplifying her quite robust rear. Ken couldn't help but let out a whistle, chuckling a bit afterward, then glaring at the workers cracking wise about their foreman catcalling in this day and age.

Naoko had passed by a construction site for a store, hearing a one of the construction workers catcalling as she passed by. She had turned around, expecting it to be one of the older gentlemen, but instead found herself looking at a rather youngish looking man who was chuckling before he turned to glare at his coworkers. Normally, she would find herself calling him out on this sort of thing, since it's rude to catcall the Empress of Japan...
But for the first time in her life, she couldn't do anything at all. She only stared for a moment, her face tinged pink, before she quickly started walking away. As soon as she rounded a corner, she leaned back against a wall and hit her cheeks a few times. "Calm down, Naoko..." she muttered to herself. "Just because he's cute doesn't excuse his actions... hopefully we won't have to see him again, and this'll just... not happen. Ever."

Ken sighed, grabbing the edge of the scaffold and flipping back on top, shaking off a bit of the sweat that gleamed on his shoulders, before a familiar voice sounded. "Roidmude detected. Due north, closing in." With a groan, Ken signalled to his second-in-command of the work site that he was going on break, and hopped off, sliding down the scaffold like a pro traceur, though landing with a bit of a thud from his muscular weight. Grabbing his jacket, he ran off, following the directions of Bull, unwittingly heading toward the woman he catcalled before.
Meanwhile, the Roidmude drew closer to her, chuckling and muttering to itself. "I smell a pretty, I do. Noble blood, always the best~ Though young girls are nice too~ The occasional pretty boy isn't bad either, but those ugly masculine one, yuck."

The empress hadn't noticed that there was anyone tailing her... And as soon as she had calmed down (and knew her heart stopped racing), she started to walk again. "All right... stop thinking about him and everything will be fine..." she muttering as she passed by a toy store. She moved closer to the window, looking at all the prices of these collectible toys, finding a mecha that she really wanted. "Maybe I should get that... I mean, I can't come here and not indulge myself a little, after all!"

As the young woman stopped, the Roidmude, in his human disguise, walked towards her, cackling lowly and licking his lips. "She looks just as tasty as she smells~ I can't wait to dig in~"
Ken continued to run, until he noticed the woman from before, and a man with obvious ill-intent, which Bull soon identified as a Roidmude in disguise. "Miss, get down!"

Naoko turned around to face the man she heard, and she was starting to back away before she saw the man from earlier. Unfortunately, his appearance managed to surprise Naoko, and wasn't able to dodge in time...

The Roidmude took its opportunity, shifting into its evolved form, a large, almost bestial form that resembled a mix of a bear and a vending machine, and lashed out at her with its claws.
Ken rushed in, trying to counter the attack, but his aim was slightly off, and he only grazed the Roidmude with his punch.

Naoko ended taking up the the brunt of the attack, and was knocked over to the side, her OOO Driver flying out of her jacket and falling some ways away. Looking up to where it landed, she got up and made a mad dash towards it.

The Roidmude laughed, jumping between Naoko and her Driver, landing with a thud and enough force to knock her back if she got too close. After landing, it swiped at her again, but was countered by the appearance of a small machine, which then went over to Ken.
"'Bout time. You're late, Field. Now, let's start the party! CHENJI!" Ken transformed into Type Field, charging at the Roidmude and launching a few punches, which were mostly shrugged off.
Post by Naoko, Empress of Japan on Dec 20, 2014 7:28:20 GMT
She looked up at the Rider that was fighting the Roidmude, and taking this chance, she got back up and managed to grab her Driver. Looking at it, she shook her head. "I can't keep being the damsel in distress like this. I promised myself I would fight for this country... and that I would get stronger in order to do so." She then affixed the belt to her waist, taking out the three Core Medals.
Inserting the three medals into her belt, she took out the O-Scanner and slid it over the medals. "HENSHIN!"
TAKA! TORA! BATTA! TA! TO! BA! TATOBA TA! TO! BA!
Naoko transformed and rushed into battle, opening with a flying kick at the Roidmude. "Need a hand?" she asked Ken after she landed on the ground.

The Roidmude barely budged, and Ken grunted. "I've got two, and they're not doing much o' shit, pardon my language. Besides, I don't think your system is equipped to fight these things." He said, dodging a punch before taking a kick to the ribs and being sent flying into a building, literally getting stuck in the concrete side.
"Out of my way, you filthy man. I have no interest in you, only in the deliciously pretty girl here." The Roidmude spoke, its voice now rougher and more metallic.
Post by Naoko, Empress of Japan on Dec 20, 2014 7:43:16 GMT
"Probably not... but it can still do some pretty decent ass-kicking, pardon my language," she replied. "At the very least I can keep him distracted for a bit." As she said this, the yellow part of her suit glowed, and the claws on it extended. "...okay, that's new. Let me correct myself, I can keep him distracted for a while. I didn't know I had Wolverine claws." She then charged at the Roidmude, getting a good swipe or two in.

Before he could pull himself from the wall, Ken was alerted by a buzzing from the Buildriver, as Bull's voice sounded. "Ken, a new Shift Armachine is ready, call it out!" Reading the name on his visor, Ken yelled loudly, "Come on, Trucking Highway!" Mere moments later, the Armachine appeared on a small floating road resembling a highway overpass, then landed in Ken's hand. "Here we go...CHENJI!" Opening the Driver, he removed Rugged Field, and inserted Trucking Highway, closing the Driver and activating the sequence, the belt bellowing "Please clear the area! A new Build is underway!"
