Ore, Sanjou!

[supnitle]

It was a fairly normal day in the ITS: people were coming in, some confused, some not, some cursing loudly, and they all usually went elsewhere, possibly after learning where they were. Completely regular day.

And then a giant train came in out of nowhere.

It started with what looked like a purple rift in reality appearing in the sky, and then floating train tracks began to form. The Denliner, a large, colorful, white and red train, was moving on those tracks as they appeared in front of it. It made a few arbitrary flips and loops in the air before moving down towards the floor, eventually slowing down to a stop as sparks flew on the tracks. It stood there for a moment, not moving and ignorant of anything going on around it.

Eventually, a door opened, a young man who looked about 19 walking out of it. Loud, obnoxious banter could be heard for the brief moment the door was opened, as well as the sound of a fistfight. Ryoutaro, the young man, looked back into the train. "You guys!" The loud noises seemed to stop. "No fighting while I'm gone. I'll check this place out." And he jumped out, the door closing behind him. The train moved again, flying back up into the sky and disappearing back into the desert of time.

Ryoutaro, now rather alone, stood there fiddling with his flannel jacket. Was there anyone he could talk to...?

[nintendonut1]

As luck would have it, unfortunate as it was, he'd be walking out of one fight and right into another.

An explosion rendered the air from the opposite direction Ryoutaro was looking, and a smoking, furry lump whizzed past, missing him by inches and clearing a hole in the side of the building. A cackle soon followed from quite a distance away.

Banjo groaned from within the impression, too sore yet to pull himself out. Man... ever since Kazooie left to go on her own adventures, things just haven't been the same. Perfect time for him to meet up with Gruntilda too.

Man. MAN. Things just... went WRONG ever since coming to this island.

[supnitle]

Ryoutaro's bad luck seemed to be in full effect, as he seemed to have entered the island right as an explosion took place. He jumped at the explosion, somehow prompting him to trip backwards on his shoelaces, despite the fact they weren't untied. Landing on his back, Ryoutaro began to push himself up when something shot past him, causing him to instinctively curl himself up, hands over his neck. Once he had confirmed that he was, indeed, not dead, the world's wimpiest Kamen Rider pushed himself up to his feet, wincing at the cackle. Whoever it was, hopefully they weren't going to follow.

Hesitantly, he walked towards whatever it was that had just flown past him, noting that it was a... bear thing. Granted, he had his OWN bear thing back inside the Den-Liner, and this bear thing looked a lot more like a bear, considering it wasn't yellow and didn't have a horn. In fact, Kintaros looked nothing like a bear, so Ryoutaro didn't really know why everyone called him one.

Pushing the distracted thoughts out of his head, Ryoutaro looked at Banjo, speaking slowly. "Um... Are you alright?"

[nintendonut1]

It took Banjo a moment to realize someone was talking to him. His head was still ringing a bit.

"Hmnnguh," he articulated in response, his jaw not working right for a second or two. Paws trembling with effort reached out and grasped the edge of the hole he was half-hanging out of, pulling himself upright. His body was still smoking.

"...pah..." he tried again, coughing up a small black puff of smoke. "Peachy."

[supnitle]

Ryoutaro winced when Banjo coughed up smoke. That... couldn't possibly be healthy. Of course, flying into a wall couldn't be too good for you, either. Before the singularity point could do much more than stand there awkwardly, he heard a loud, childish voice in his head.

"Ooh! Ooh! A bear!"

As he felt a familiar sensation, Ryoutaro's eyes widened in surprise. Why now of all times? He spoke aloud, forgetting that Banjo was there. "W-Wait! Hold on, Ryuuta..." But his words were to no avail. What looked like a purple sphere of light flew in, twirling around Ryoutaro a few times before entering his body, briefly imbuing him with a purple aura, which faded quickly. As if by magic, Ryoutaro's eye color changed to purple, and his hairstyle changed completely into a much wilder style, a few strands of somehow purple hair covering his left eye. Ryoutaro, now possessed by Ryuutaros, pulled a hat out of seemingly nowhere, sloppily planting it on his head.

Ryuutaros seemed absolutely delighted by Banjo's appearance. "A bear! A bear!" He grabbed at Banjo's arm, attempting to pull him somewhere. "Let's go to the Denliner! You can stay with all the kitties!"

"Ryuuta... You brought more cats?"

[nintendonut1]

[no worries, it happens XD]

Banjo blinked repeatedly as Ryoutaro went through his transformation. Well, it certainly wasn't the weirdest thing he'd ever seen, as it would take a whole lot more to breah that threshold, but it was still worthy of an odd stare.

He jumped a bit when the strange person's demeanor completely changed; he sure as heck wasn't looking at the same person now, that was for sure. "H-huh? Wuh-OA!"

Finally pulled out of the wall, Banjo was dragged along down the street, nearly tripping over. "H-hey, wait!"

He attempted to resist Ryuuta's pull, not at all liking the sound of 'staying with all the kitties,' but then he heard another cackle, quickly approaching.

Kitties... or Gruntilda. The choice was pretty easy make.

"...Oh-okay!" he agreed, struggling a bit to keep up.

[supnitle]

"Ryuuta, we've told you to stop bringing animals into the Denlin - "

All thoughts of small, fuzzy animals were dropped when Ryuutaros heard the laughter coming from somewhere nearby. Completely dropping all thoughts of large, bipedal bears, the imagin-possessed Ryoutaro let go of Banjo's arm. He placed one hand above his eyes, as if to block the sun, and began to look around for the source of the cackle. "Ooh! Ooh! What was that?" A curious look in his eyes, Ryuutaros looked back at Banjo. "Do you know what it was?"

It could be noted that three other spheres of light, colored red, yellow, and blue, were all circling around Ryoutaro at this point, attempting to enter the singularity point, but constantly being repelled each time in a burst of purple. Although Banjo couldn't actually hear it, there was an argument going on inside Ryoutaro's head.

"Oi, Ryuuta..."
"What're you doing?"
"Hey! Stupid Brat! Get out of there!"
"No! I don't want to!"
"Ryuuta..."

[nintendonut1]

Banjo was a little grateful when the possessed Ryoutario released him, letting out a sigh of relief. He was already struck by fire and knocked through walls, he didn't want to land on his face in an embarassing matter either.

When asked what that by-now infamous cackle was, he suddenly started up again, this time the one urgantly, but politely as he could, pushing Ryoutaro along. "I sure do; she's someone you don't wanna mess around with! Now, come on, maybe we can get outta here before she spots us--"

His tiny little ear twitched at the familiar crackle of electricity in the air.

"Too Late."

Gasping, he pulled Ryoutaro back, another lightning bolt crashing into and make a dark imprint in the wall behind where they were standing not a moment before. Looking up, he spotted the most hated, bloated witch hovering between buildings on her gasping broomstick.

[supnitle]

[okay I don't actually have an excuse this time other than the fact that I am a terrible, lazy person <_<; sorry]

Ryuutaros squirmed when Banjo pulled him out of the way of the lightning bolt, but seemed to become completely entrapped by the fact that there was a witch flying in the city on a broomstick. He pointed upwards at the witch. "Whoa! Look, Mr. Bear, it's a witch! Hiiiii~!" Ryuutaros began to wave frantically at her, jumping up and down. He was probably a bit too excited to some someone who had just shot a lightning bolt at him.

Ryuutaros suddenly stopped, tilting his head. He remained pointing, however. Laughter escaped his lips. "Hahaha! Look at her! She's gross!" Ryuutaros stepped forward, leaning towards Gruntilda and cupping his hands over his mouth. "You're gross! Grooooss!"

"What the hell are you doing?! Stupid kid!"
"Haha! You're gross too!"
"WHAT WAS THAT?!"
"Calm down, senpai!"
"Zzzz..."
Ryoutaro mentally sighed.

[nintendonut1]

(dude, it's cool. XD I'm in no rush here)

Gruntilda scoured the ground, searching for her fuzzy target. Man, without that squawking bird, the ursine was totally helpless! Why didn't she think of separating them sooner?

She was about to turn around and look elsewhere, when Ryuutaros' cry brought her attention right where it was needed. A wicked smirk came to her face as she for the moment completely ignored him, all her focus on her mortal enemy.

Banjo flinched when Ryuutaros tore away from him, and gaped laregly when he not only addressed Gruntilda with inappropiate calmness, but then proceeded to insult her looks.

The bear groaned and facepalmed. This... was not going to end well.

Gruntilda was about to swoop down on Banjo, but then one little word brought her attention swinging back to Ryuutaros. "...gross? Gross!?!"

For the moment, the bear was forgotten. "Shut up!! I'm beautiful beyond all measure, NO-NOTHING!!"

[supnitle]

[~]

"Ryuuta! Stop!"
"You little brat... Although he does have a point."
"Even I wouldn't want to reel that in."
"Zzzzzzz...." Thump.
"What - Bear! You broke the - "

Ryuutaros ignored the chaos in his head, instead choosing to focus on Gruntilda. Placing his hands back at his sides, the imagin shook his head left and right, still with that overly excited grin on his face. "Nope! You're ugly! Super ugly!" He pointed up at Gruntilda, laughing again until his next statement. "You're not nearly as cute as onee-chan."

"Ryuuta, we're not actually in Japan anymo - "
"Shut up."

Seeming to remember that there was, in fact, an enormous bear behind him, Ryuuta whirled around, skipping around Banjo for a moment before stopping next to him, pointing up at Gruntilda. "Isn't she ugly, Mr. Bear? Huuuh?"

"Man... we haven't even been here five minutes, and the kid's picking fights."

[nintendonut1]

Banjo stood rigid as Ryuuta dancing around him in singsong. He might as well have been drawing a big target around him to make it easier for Grunty to blow him to smithereens.

He creaked his eyes open at his query, and he sighed. Oh well.

"The ugliest."

Gruntilda reared up, but hesitated for a moment. Well, that was rare, the normally timid bear casting the insulting stone. Must've been an effect of losing the bird.

She shook her head; stay focused! She reared back again, charging up another lightning spell.

Banjo glanced to Ryuuta weakly. "Look, whoever you are... now would be a good time to run. Her beef is with me, okay?"

[supnitle]

Ryuutaros shook his head. "No way! I don't like her, she's a bad witch!" He danced a few meters over to Banjo's left, pulling something out of his jacket as he did so. "Besides, she's so ugly, she'll scare all the kitties!" That something appeared to be the front part of an ornate belt buckle, with a few colorful buttons on it. Ryuutaros put it onto his waist, and a strap came out of one end, circling around the imagin-possesed human and clipping into the other end of the buckle.

Reaching into his back pocket, Ryuutaros pulled out what looked like a black rectangle with a card stuck in it. He spun around, pointing up towards Gruntilda before snapping his fingers, grinning.

"Henshin!"

He slid the pass across the surface of the belt. In response, the belt spoke.

"GUN FORM."

Armor began to materialize around Ryuutaros, forming a base, skintight suit that even heavier, metallic looking armor, clamped on top of. A dragon-like construct slid down his head, forming into a purple visor. With the circle on the belt turning purple, Ryuutaro's transformation into Gun Form was complete.

He began to grab what looked like black rectangles from the side of his belt, arranging them in some fashion. "Mind if I defeat you?" When he finished putting them together, they had formed a gun. He pointed it up at Gruntilda. "Can't hear you~!" He began to fire vague energy projectiles. Unfortunately for Ryuutaros, he was not the best aimer and was dancing around while shooting, so his shots were missing wildly.

"Damn brat, stealing the spotlight... I'M the star! ME!"
"Jealous, senpai?"
"SHUT UP!"
"Everyone... we might as well let Ryuuta do it. I don't think this witch person is a good guy..."

[ryocker]

Way over Void City, Kazooie panned the area. She had done some stupid things before, but this was a deal breaker- Not only is Banjo useless without her, she's useless without HIM! Not to mention she took a few flames to the butt, but that's another story for another day.

Her razor eyes skimmed past a few buildings until she spotted Banjo, some weird kid with a skipping illness, and- hold the phone... Gruntilda?! Man did her gut tell her right; they needed eahother if they wanted to survive.

Between holding a smirk at Banjo's comment and dodging stray energy balls, Kazooie had her work cut out for her- Fortunately, she liked this kind of work. "Hey Winky-Buns!" she called, getting in close. "IIIINNN-COOOMIING!!!!!" With near super-sonic speed, she rammed straight into Grunty's big, fat gut, razor sharp beak first, with enough force to give her broomstick some breathing room.

Fluttering down from her shot, she landed near Banjo and hugged him, best as a bird could do, anyway. "Hey fuzz-head, miss me?" she smirked, but quickly looked to the side. "...I know i missed you."

[nintendonut1]

When the kid refused to leave, and actually transformed into a rather-capable fighter, Banjo was kind of impressed... until he started shooting. He groaned and facepalmed once again.

"Oh, criminitly..."

Gruntilda cackled, hardly making any effort in dodging Ryuutaros' shots. "GAHAHAHA!! Is that the best you got!? Great backup, fuzzball! Your new friend's worse than--OOF!!!"

It all happened in such a blur. One thing that stuck out to Banjo the most was that familiar shrill cry that had suddenly picked his heart up and took it off like a jet plane.

The next thing he knew, he was enveloped in an embrace of red and golden feathers. His expression was completely dumbfounded, as he had yet to fully wrap his head around the fact that his best pal in the whole world was right there, right next to him, not insulting him, not pecking his head, but hugging him silly.

"K...Ka..!" Banjo was nearly breathless for just a moment, then a wide grin spread across his snout, tears in his eyes, as he grabbed her back into a great bear hug. "KAZOOIE!!![/b]"
