Lena led Haruka to an elevator, the doors opening to reveal a wide, open area with pristine white floors, walls, and ceiling. The sterile environment seemed to amplify the tension between them as they stepped inside. Haruka remained vigilant, unsure of Lena's true intentions, but willing to see where this encounter would lead.
Haruka looked around the expansive, sterile room and asked, "What is this place?"
Lena gestured to the space, "This is where we test our creations at LexCorp." She turned to Haruka, "I'd like you to use your Kamen Rider armors here. I'm curious to see their capabilities."
Haruka nods hesitantly and looks down at the Faiz Driver in his hand. "Alright, I'll use this one." He secures the belt around his waist, the familiar weight settling against his hips. With a deep breath, he presses the Faiz Phone and calls out, "Henshin!"
In a flash of light, Haruka's body is enveloped in the sleek, black armor of Kamen Rider Faiz. The transformation is seamless, the suit molding to his frame as if it were an extension of his own body. Lena watches, her eyes widening with fascination as the armored hero stands before her.
"Remarkable," Lena murmurs, circling Haruka and examining the details of the Faiz suit. "The way this technology manifests is truly astounding. I've never seen anything like it." She reaches out, her fingers tracing the intricate patterns on the armor. "How does it work? Where does it come from?"
Haruka remains silent, the faceplate of his helmet obscuring his expression. He's unsure of how much to reveal to the Luthor heiress, conscious of the power and influence she wields.
Lena's eyes narrowed as Haruka remained silent. "Not going to answer? That's fine. I'll figure it out myself," she said, turning and striding across the room, her heels clicking against the pristine floor.
Haruka watched warily as Lena began setting up the space. "I want you to destroy the targets that appear as quickly as possible," she called over her shoulder. "Let's see just how powerful this Kamen Rider technology can be."
Haruka tensed, his armored fingers flexing at his sides. He knew Lena's curiosity and ambition could prove dangerous, but he also recognized the opportunity to demonstrate the capabilities of his suit. Taking a deep breath, he nodded. "Alright, I'm ready."
Holographic targets flickered into existence, their translucent forms materializing across the sterile white space. Haruka's heightened perception caught each target's precise location—red digital outlines blinking against the pristine background. In an instant, he unsheathed the Faiz Edge, the sleek energy blade humming with photon power.
His body moved like liquid lightning, each strike calculated and precise. The blade sliced through the first target with a sharp electronic crackle, reducing it to pixelated fragments. Another target appeared—Haruka pivoted, his armored form spinning in a graceful arc. The Faiz Edge swept horizontally, bisecting the hologram before it could fully stabilize.
Lena watched, her green eyes narrowing with clinical fascination. Each of Haruka's movements demonstrated a perfect fusion of technological enhancement and raw martial skill. The targets continued to spawn, but they stood no chance against the Kamen Rider's superhuman reflexes.
Photon energy trailed from the blade, leaving brief luminescent afterimages with every devastating strike. Within seconds, the room was filled with dissolving holographic remnants—a testament to Haruka's incredible combat prowess.
Lena observed the display with rapt attention, her lips curving into a small smile. "Impressive," she murmured, jotting down notes on a tablet. "Now let's see what else you can do."
Lena upped the intensity of the test, and machines with real weapons emerged, aiming at Haruka. He eyed the machines warily, then turned to Lena. "Are you serious about this?" he asked, a hint of concern in his voice.
Lena's lips curled into a teasing smile. "What, scared, Kamen Rider?" she taunted, her gaze challenging.
Haruka scoffed, the faceplate of his helmet hiding his expression. "Scared? Nah, I'm just worried about the damages. You're not making me pay for that, are you?" he quipped, a playful edge to his tone.
Haruka braced himself as the machines began their assault, their metallic limbs whirring to life. With a flick of his wrist, he unsheathed the Faiz Edge, the sleek energy blade humming with power.
The first machine lunged forward, its robotic arm extended in a clumsy strike. Haruka sidestepped the attack with ease, the machine's momentum carrying it past him. In a fluid motion, he slashed the Faiz Edge, the photon energy slicing through the machine's chassis with a shower of sparks.
Another machine opened fire, its blasters spitting bolts of energy. Haruka danced between the projectiles, his enhanced reflexes allowing him to predict the shots. With a swift spin, he deflected the incoming fire, the energy blasts ricocheting off the Faiz Edge's blade.
Closing the distance, Haruka brought the Faiz Edge down in a powerful vertical strike, cleaving the machine in two. He didn't pause, his gaze darting to the remaining targets as they converged on him.
Lena observed the scene with a mix of fascination and glee, her eyes gleaming with scientific curiosity. "Remarkable," she murmured, her fingers flying across the tablet's surface as she recorded every detail of Haruka's performance.
Haruka's movements were a blur as he engaged the machines, his strikes precise and efficient. The Faiz Edge became an extension of his own body, slicing through the mechanical foes with ease. Sparks and shrapnel filled the air as one by one, the machines fell to the Kamen Rider's relentless assault.
Haruka finished the last of the machines, the test finally over. He turned to Lena, who had been observing intently from the sidelines. "So, how did I do?" he asked, a hint of curiosity in his voice.
Lena's lips curled into a satisfied smile. "Remarkably well, I must say. Your skills are quite impressive, Kamen Rider."
Haruka couldn't help but feel a twinge of pride at her compliment. "Thanks, I've had a lot of practice," he admitted.
Lena's gaze narrowed as she studied him. "Well, then, I'd like to see what else you can do. Use a different armor and run through the test again."
Haruka sighed, shaking his head slightly. "You're really hell-bent on finding out all my secrets, aren't you, Lena?"
Lena's eyes gleamed with determination. "You accepted this, Haruka. Now, show me what else you've got."
Haruka relented, knowing there was no point in arguing. "Alright, fine. But I'm only showing you one more armor, and that's it."
Haruka continued running through the tests for Lena, his movements precise and methodical. She watched intently, practically buzzing with excitement. The data—oh, the data was going to be gold. Valuable intel, just waiting to be analyzed... Her eyes gleamed with anticipation.
