[Aussie Rider]

Okay, I posted this on RB, but to not much response. So i thought I'd see how it flew here. The various Rider of TheBee. PG.



She burst out of the container she and her bike had been transported in, roaring down the road at great speeds. There was a buzzing at her ear, in the corner of her eye she could see her ‘partner’ flying next to her. She shook her head. Not yet. The mechanical life form flew ahead, heading to the target. The rider nodded, kicking her cycle up a gear. She had to hurry.

The device flew through a window, hovering in a corner. All over, Worm were attacking humans, some of whom its new partner knew. It hovered knowing it had finally found someone who was strong willed enough, and loyal enough to her comrades, her Hive mates, to make a fine Rider. It ‘looked’ down at the carnage again, satisfied it was now time/ It flew out the way it came, catching up with it’s Rider nad settling happily on the wrist device she wore. Without missing a beat, she reached over, twisting the mechanical insect into place.

“Henshin!”

“HENSHIN!”The device repeated, covering her in black, silver and yellow armour. Her cycle picked up speed as she went through the wall into the building, knocking several Worm, back. She hopped off her bike, throwing herself immediately into the fray, throwing powerful hits and kicks as she tore the through the green skinned creatures. The fighters who had been defending before her arrival puled back as one Worm turned red, it’s green shell melting off revealing a taller, more insectoid creature with in, grey exoskeleton and large yellow eyes gleaming in the low light. The armoured warrior reached for her ‘partner’, flipping its wings forward. Segments of armour expanded outward, her helmet leaving gaps in her visor.

“Cast Off!”

“CAST OFF!” Armour flew everywhere, taking out several of the green skinned Worms, leaving the warrior in a more streamlined costume, the stinger of her Bee like transformation device sticking out like a weapon. “CHANGE WASP!”

“Can you guys still fight?” She asked. Several of the fighters nodded. “Good. Keep the green ones back. Concentrate in groups on one Worm. Understand?” They nodded. “Good. Leave the big one to me.”

“He’s all yours,” the one with one eye said. The Rider grinned under her helmet as she stepped forward to meet her opponent. Before she could meet with it, however, the creature vanished in a blur.

“Clock Up!”

“CLOCK UP!” The Rider followed her opponent , faster than the eye could see, catching it just before it caught one of the girls fighting. She delivered several swift punches, forcing it back. It charged her, ugly yellow claw looking to tear her head off. She dodged the attack, connecting with a swift punch to the guts as she went past. As she stopped, she pressed the red button on her wrist.

“Rider Sting…”

“RIDER STING!” Energy Crackled on the stinger, shining on her visor as she turned, charging the Worm. As she reached it, she thrust her charged stinger out, drilling it into the Worm, pulling it out quickly as her charge took her passed it and the creature exploded. “CLOCK OVER!” She looked around as time started up. The other warriors had stood well while she had been in Clock Up. She helped tidy the last few Worms before turning to face them.

“Who are you?” The one eyed one asked. She returned the Zector’s wings to their normal position, pulling it off and letting it fly away. As it did so, her Rider suit vanished, leaving the business like suit she had been wearing and her bike helmet. She removed the helmet, letting her long blonde hair fall around her shoulder.

Xander Harris thought he was beyond surprises. He thought, after all he’d seen, after loosing his eye, nothing could surprise him any more. But as he looked on the face of the Slayer that had gone missing not long after Sunnydale’s collapse, he found the universe still had a few surprises for him.

“Buffy?”
