A Rider Kick in Marvel Rewrite

The Musutagori District was bustling, a vibrant tapestry of everyday life. Sunlight streamed through the towering skyscrapers, casting a warm glow on the busy streets. Inside the Musutagori Central Bank, the atmosphere was calm and orderly. Customers lined up at teller windows, chatting idly as they deposited checks and withdrew cash. The air hummed with the quiet murmur of conversations and the rhythmic clatter of keyboards.

Suddenly, a thunderous CRASH ripped through the tranquility. The bank's reinforced glass doors exploded inward, showering the lobby with shards of sparkling glass. A colossal figure lumbered through the shattered entrance, its presence immediately filling the space with an aura of raw power.

It was the Hippo Imagin, a grotesque parody of nature and nightmare. Its metallic skin gleamed menacingly under the fluorescent lights, reflecting the terror in the eyes of the onlookers. A guttural roar reverberated through the bank, shaking the very foundations of the building. [RRRAAAWWWRRR]

Chaos erupted. Screams pierced the air as civilians scrambled for cover, diving behind desks and huddling in corners. The Hippo Imagin, seemingly oblivious to the pandemonium, strode forward with unstoppable momentum. Furniture splintered and toppled under its massive weight as it bulldozed its way toward the bank vault.

With terrifying ease, the Hippo Imagin reached its destination. It gripped the vault door, its metallic fingers digging into the steel. A monstrous RIP echoed as the heavy steel door was torn from its hinges, reduced to a mangled heap on the floor.

Inside, stacks of cash lay unguarded. The Hippo Imagin, with a bestial grin, grabbed armful after armful of currency, stuffing it into a burlap sack it had brought along. The bank's alarm system blared into life, a shrill, desperate cry against the backdrop of destruction. [DING DING DING] 🔔

Two security guards, armed with tasers and pepper spray, bravely stepped forward. They fired their weapons, but the probes bounced harmlessly off the Hippo Imagin's thick, armored hide. The pepper spray did little more than briefly irritate the monster, its metallic skin immune to chemical irritants.

With a casual swipe of its massive arm, the Hippo Imagin sent one of the guards flying across the room. The guard crashed into a wall with a sickening thud, crumpling to the floor, unconscious.

But the Hippo Imagin's rampage was soon interrupted by the arrival of Pro Heroes.

"Freeze, villain!" shouted Glacier Hammer, a hero with the power to manipulate ice. He slammed his hands on the ground, erecting a towering wall of ice to block the Hippo Imagin's path.

The Hippo Imagin merely grunted, then charged headfirst into the barrier. With a single, earth-shattering punch, the ice wall shattered into a million glittering fragments, sending shards flying in all directions.

Electro Snap, a hero specializing in electrical attacks, unleashed a high-voltage blast at the Imagin. Bolts of crackling energy slammed into the Hippo Imagin, illuminating its metallic frame with an eerie glow.

But the Imagin remained unfazed. Its metallic skin acted as a conductor, channeling the electricity harmlessly into the ground. With a shrug, it turned its attention to the heroes.

Grabbing a heavy metal beam from the wreckage, the Hippo Imagin swung it like a baseball bat. The beam connected with Glacier Hammer and Electro Snap, sending them flying through the air. They crashed heavily against the far wall.

But just as the Hippo Imagin prepared to leave with its stolen loot, a figure dropped from the sky. Landing with a resounding thud, Kamen Rider Den-O stood defiant. Crimson armor gleaming, sword held high, the hero blocked the path. "Ore, Sanjou!"

Hippo looks at Den-O curiously. "Den…O…"

Momotaros, embodied as Den-O, glared directly. "Hey, you oversized hippo! You're not stealing anything on my watch!"

The Imagin bellowed, turning its attention away from the downed heroes toward the fresh challenger. A guttural bellow tore from its throat as it prepared to face the newcomer.

Momotaros didn't hesitate. With a ferocious battle cry, he charged, sword raised to strike. He unleashed a descending cut aiming for the Hippo's shoulder.

Sparks erupted as the blade met metal, unable to penetrate its armor. But Momotaros was relentless. He followed with a flurry of quick strikes, his signature battle cries punctuating each move. The attacks rang uselessly against the beast's hide.

The behemoth retaliated, swinging its hefty arm in a sweeping blow. Momotaros backflipped, narrowly escaping the strike. He landed atop a nearby car, using it to spring forward, launching a kick at its chest.

It stumbled, but quickly regained its balance, roaring in frustration.

"What's the matter? Can't keep up with me?" Momotaros goaded.

He executed a twirling slash, striking its side, leaving nothing more than a superficial scratch. The Imagin grabbed a nearby parked car and hurled it.

With a precise swipe, Momotaros bisected the airborne vehicle, the two halves crashing on either side of him. Undeterred, he sheathed the DenGasher and sprinted forward.

"Here's the Momotaros Special!" he cried, leaping, executing a spinning kick aimed at the head.

It connected, yet it barely registered. Its metallic cranium absorbed the impact.

The Imagin seized him mid-air, throwing him against a nearby structure. He crashed, leaving a small crater in the brick, but recovered.

Drawing his blade again, he charged, intent on delivering a decisive hit. Attempting a cut toward its midsection, the behemoth snatched the blade with its bare hands.

It wrenched the DenGasher from his grasp, tossing it aside. Following through, it unleashed a punishing punch, sending the red-clad Rider flying.

Momotaros righted himself, dusting off. "Tch! This guy's tougher than he looks!" he shouted.

Just then, two more heroes burst onto the scene, ready to turn the tide. The first, Hydro Spiral, a tall and imposing figure, possessed the Quirk to manipulate water with incredible precision. Her hero costume, a sleek, blue suit, allowed her to control the moisture in the air, turning it into powerful streams and waves. She'd risen through the ranks quickly, known for her strategic mind and unwavering determination.

The other hero, Blitz Hawk, was a blur of motion. His Quirk granted him super speed, allowing him to move faster than the eye could follow. His costume, a streamlined suit with aerodynamic wings, enhanced his speed and agility. He was a rookie, eager to prove himself.

"Leave this to us!" Hydro Spiral yelled, focusing her Quirk. The air shimmered as she summoned a swirling vortex of water. A powerful cyclone formed, engulfing the Hippo Imagin in a torrent of rushing water. The goal? Trap the monster, contain its movements.

[ROAR]

The Hippo Imagin bellowed, flexing its immense strength. With a furious surge of power, the creature tore through the water barrier. The cyclone burst, sending water gushing in all directions, soaking everything and everyone nearby.

Blitz Hawk, taking advantage of the distraction, zipped around the Imagin. He delivered a rapid barrage of punches and kicks, each blow aimed at a vital point. He was fast. So fast. But the Imagin barely flinched. Its metallic skin deflected most of the attacks, rendering them ineffective.

Momotaros watched from the sidelines, simmering with frustration. "These guys are making this harder than it needs to be!" he growled.

He considered jumping back into the fight, showing them how it's done. He knew that wouldn't work. Not now. He realized it was a losing battle with the Pro Heroes involved.

The Imagin, now surrounded by Pro Heroes, decided it was time to retreat. The mission was a failure. It grabbed a nearby lamppost, ripping it out of the ground with ease. Swinging it wildly, the Hippo Imagin created a wide berth, forcing the heroes to back away.

Hydro Spiral tried to encase the Imagin in ice, hoping to slow it down. But the creature shattered the ice with a single, contemptuous punch.

Blitz Hawk, seeing an opportunity, darted forward. He attempted to snatch the sack of money, hoping to salvage something from the chaos. With a casual backhand, the Imagin smacked him away, sending the speedster tumbling.

Seeing his chance, the Imagin stomped hard on the ground, sending a cloud of dust and debris billowing outward. When it cleared, the brute had vanished, leaving only destruction.

The Pro Heroes whirled around, realizing their initial target slipped away. "Hey!" Blitz Hawk yelled.

As the attention shifted, Momotaros knew he needed to act fast. "This is bad!" he hissed to Ace in his thoughts. He bolted, a blur of red armor against the backdrop of chaos.

Hydro Spiral, recovering quickly, unleashed a torrent of water, hoping to trip him. Dodging the blast, Momotaros weaved through the ruined street, the enraged heroes hot on his heels.

Spotting a door, an ordinary-looking entrance to a storage room, he grabbed the handle. As the door swung open, time seemed to grind to a halt. A swirling vortex appeared, revealing the shimmering Sands of Time. The DenLiner was visible in the distance.

Momotaros enters and slams the door shut behind him, and time resumes. The Pro Heroes skidded to a halt, staring blankly at the ordinary storage door. They blinked, and the world started moving again.

Amidst the confusion surrounding Den-O's sudden departure, the Hippo Imagin seized its opportunity. It charged towards the nearest wall, slamming into the brick with a devastating impact. Bricks and mortar exploded outward, creating a gaping hole in the structure. Without hesitation, the monster crashed, disappearing into the maze of the city.

Hydro Spiral looked around, confusion etched on her face. "What just happened? Where did he go?"

Blitz Hawk, still reeling from the backhand, cursed under his breath. "They're both gone, dammit! We let a villain and a vigilante escape!"

Frustration simmered. They exchanged glances, sharing mutual disappointment. The bank robbery was a complete failure. They gained nothing but a mess and the lingering taste of defeat. Both a villain and a vigilante vanished, leaving behind unanswered questions and mounting pressure.
