A Rider Kick in Marvel Rewrite

Chapter 28: Chapter 28



Ace lunged forward, his Kuuga armor gleaming in the dim light. His first punch sliced through the air, targeting Ivae's central mass. The Grongi twisted impossibly, its insectoid body bending at an unnatural angle. The punch missed by millimeters.

Ivae skittered backward, bumping into old movie equipment. Film reels clattered to the floor. The creature's compound eyes tracked Ace's movements with inhuman precision.

"I'm so sorry," Ivae mumbled, dodging another strike.

Ace's kick swept low, aiming to knock the Grongi off balance. Ivae jumped, using a projection stand as a springboard. The creature's movement was liquid-smooth, defying normal physics.

Metal stands crashed. Dust exploded into the air. Ace pressed his attack, each punch designed to corner the nimble creature. Ivae ducked and weaved, its body moving like water between Ace's strikes.

A sharp claw caught Ace's armored shoulder. He spun, using the momentum to launch a counterattack. Ivae twisted mid-air, avoiding the full force of the blow.

The storage room became a chaotic dance of movement. Ace's powerful strikes contrasted with Ivae's slippery, unpredictable dodges. Each time Ace thought he had the creature cornered, Ivae would slip away at the last moment.

"I really don't want to fight," Ivae said, ducking under a punch. "But I must complete my mission."

Ivae's claw struck Ace's chest, sending him crashing through the storage room wall. Plaster and wood exploded outward as they tumbled into the main cinema area. Dust and debris rained around them.

Yuri spun, her hand instinctively reaching for her weapon. Her eyes widened at the sight of the armored warrior and the insectoid creature locked in combat.

Nico and Berto jumped back, mouths agape. The blue-and-gold armored figure moved with incredible speed, trading blows with the fly-like Grongi. Chairs toppled. Popcorn machines crashed.

"What the hell is that?" Berto shouted.

Ivae screeched, launching a series of rapid claw strikes. The Kamen Rider blocked most, but a few glancing blows sparked against his armor. He countered with a powerful kick that sent the Grongi sliding across the slick cinema floor.

Yuri drew her weapon. "Freeze!"

The combatants ignored her, locked in their intense battle. Nico pulled Berto behind a row of seats. Her eyes darted between the armored warrior and the monstrous creature.

"This is insane," she muttered.

The Kamen Rider grabbed a fallen projection stand, using it to block Ivae's next attack. Metal screeched. The creature's movements were erratic, desperate.

Yuri shoots her weapon twice at the Grongi. Ivae's head snapped toward her, compound eyes gleaming with sudden predatory focus. The Grongi's body tensed, preparing to leap.

Ace saw the movement instantly. He hurled himself between Ivae and Yuri, arms spread protectively. "Run!" he shouted at the detective.

Ivae's claws slashed. The Grongi's movement was a blur of chitinous limbs and razor-sharp edges. Ace blocked the first strike, but the second connected solidly. Ivae's claw struck Ace's armored chest with tremendous force.

The impact sent Ace flying backward. He crashed through several rows of cinema seats, wood and padding exploding around his tumbling form.

Ivae lunged, chitinous claws reaching for Ace's armored form. The Grongi's movements were lightning-fast, a blur of desperate predatory intent. Just as the claws were about to connect, Ace's body erupted with energy.

"CHOU HENSHIN!"

Ace changes into Dragon Form.

With a powerful motion, Ace used both legs to kick Ivae backward. The creature tumbled across the cinema floor, chairs and debris scattering in its wake. In one fluid motion, Ace grabbed a nearby projection stand. His hands moved quickly, manipulating the metal object. The stand elongated and transformed into the Dragon Rod.

The Dragon Rod hummed with energy, its metallic surface catching the dim cinema lights. Ace gripped the weapon, his Dragon Form stance shifting into a combat-ready position.

Ivae scrambled backward, compound eyes tracking every movement of the transformed Kamen Rider.

Ace lunged forward, the Dragon Rod extending with a metallic hum. He struck Ivae's side with precision, the weapon delivering a sharp, crackling blow that sent the Grongi skittering across the cinema floor. The creature let out a high-pitched screech of pain.

Another strike connected, this time catching Ivae's leg. The Grongi stumbled, its movements becoming more erratic. The enclosed space of the cinema worked against it, limiting its ability to dodge and weave.

Ivae's compound eyes darted around, assessing the rapidly deteriorating situation. The blue-armored Kamen Rider blocked every potential escape route, the Dragon Rod spinning in a threatening arc. Each strike came faster, more calculated.

Realizing the disadvantage of the tight, confined space, Ivae made a split-second decision. The creature's body tensed, preparing for a desperate escape.

"I'm sorry, but I must take my leave."

With a sudden burst of speed, Ivae turned and bolted toward the cinema's exit, crashing through the doors and spilling out into the street beyond.

"Wait!"

The streets echoed with the sound of shattering glass as Ace burst through the cinema doors. His eyes darted upward, tracking Ivae's insect-like form as it took to the sky. The Grongi's wings spread wide, catching the light like shimmering silk as it maneuvered between the towering buildings.

"I'm sorry, but I can't let you catch me!" Ivae's nervous voice called down from above.

In his Dragon Form, Ace's body tensed with determination. He leaped with incredible force, using the buildings around him as stepping stones. Each movement was precise, bringing him closer to his airborne target as the Dragon Rod materialized in his grip.

Ace studied Ivae's flight pattern, calculating the perfect moment to strike. But just as he reached the apex of his jump, the Grongi's compound eyes noticed his approach. The creature's body twisted with surprising elegance.

"I'll try my best to avoid you!" Ivae's apologetic tone carried through the air as it suddenly veered left.

The Dragon Rod cut through empty space, missing its target by the smallest margin. Ivae caught an upward gust of wind, its movements as fluid as water, making it impossible for Ace to anticipate its next action.

Without warning, Ivae struck back. Its claws raked across Ace's armored chest, sending him spinning through the air. The impact with the rooftop was violent, scattering broken tiles in all directions.

Above the scattered debris, Ivae hovered with an air of nervous victory. "I'm so sorry, but you won't be able to defeat me in the air," the Grongi announced, its voice wavering between apologetic and confident tones.

"Damn it."

Another vision rippled through Ace's consciousness. He witnessed Kuuga adorned in emerald armor, wielding a magnificent bow as he struck down his adversaries with precise shots.

"When evil rises, behold it from the distance and become the warrior who pierces it like a gale."

Ace, with newfound clarity, knew what to do next; he called out, "Chou Henshin!"

The Arcle responded to his command, and brilliant energy washed over him. His armor shifted to a deep forest green, while his eyes and the Amadam stone in his belt gleamed with the same verdant hue. A distinctive shoulder pad materialized on his left shoulder, completing his transformation into Kuuga's Pegasus Form.

Without warning, Ace's senses exploded into overdrive. Every minute sound became a thunderous roar, each scent transformed into an overwhelming tide of information. His vision stretched far beyond normal limits, allowing him to perceive details at impossible distances. The sensory assault proved too much to bear, and he clutched at his ears, desperately trying to shield himself from the crushing wave of enhanced perception.

This was the double-edged nature of Pegasus Form—while it granted him extraordinary sensory capabilities, the sheer intensity of these enhanced senses threatened to overwhelm him completely.

Here's my rewrite of the target text to match the sample's style while maintaining the same meaning:

The Fly Grongi hovered in the air, watching as Ace struggled with his heightened senses. Ivae's compound eyes reflected the city lights as it observed the suffering Rider, its wings buzzing with nervous energy.

"I apologize for this," Ivae whispered, wringing its hands. "But perhaps this is the opportunity I need."

With sudden movement, the Grongi dove toward its target. Ace's enhanced Pegasus Form vision caught a glimpse of the incoming attack, but his overwhelmed senses left him unable to defend himself properly.

"Please forgive me, but I must complete my mission quickly!" Ivae declared, its voice trembling between guilt and resolve.

The Grongi's claws found their mark, striking Ace squarely in the chest. The force of the impact sent the armored warrior flying backward, over the building's edge. His armored form plummeted toward the street below, a cry of surprise echoing off the surrounding buildings.

"Oh dear, I didn't intend to strike so forcefully!" Ivae called out, already pulling back from the scene. "I truly am sorry about this!"

From its position in the air, the Fly Grongi watched Ace's descent, believing it had finally accomplished its task. Ivae's wings fluttered anxiously as it retreated into the night, muttering to itself, "Kuuga is finally dead. Though I deeply regret it had to end this way."

The Grongi flies away to continue adding more kills to his tally.
