Justice Advent

Zein figurative eyes locked intensely at the pegasi that just entered the room. While it can't saw Zein observing, Since Zein just seems like a belt in a suitcase.

From appearance, Zein can concluded that the pony is a stallion. Not only from peeking... the thing. But also from it voice that sounds masculine. Furthermore, he can judge it was mare or stallion from it appearance. Furthermore, it's a pegasus. A creature that known as myth. He not sure if they called pegasus or pegasi, he was not really a person who follows the trend of myths and their offshoots. Eh, he just gonna stick with pegasi. Although, something is Terribly familiar about the pegasi appearance. Seems very cartoony, yet he can't put his imaginary finger on this stallion.

While he keep scanning the newcomer, the pegasus busied themselves by exploring the room. Reading the manuscripts, looked back at the door, and wandering in the crates it leave there, while the MRE's spilled to the floor. With it disgusted expression, the stallion step back.

"Eugh, what kind of pony who eating this synthetics food? Gross, it's not even real food. " he said as his face scrunched in disgust before throw the MRE in his hoof. Walking around the table to the left corner on Zein pedestal side, the stallion paused as his eyes widened to that corner. Whatever make his stopped, Zein can tell he just saw the corpse of the unicorn that make him.

"Goodness, is this a kind of joke? " 'No shit sherlock' Zein cursed in his mind while the stallion managed to stutter out the words from his mouth. No matter on what condition the unicorn now, corpse is corpse. Zein just surprised the innocent looking pony didn't throwing up or fell unconscious at whatever the pegasi saw.

All the stallion do just walked out from Zein vision as some rattling sounds can be heard from his right. The stallion back to his vision while carrying a fully decomposed body of the unicorn, as it just left the bones and skull behind, as he took the body out from the room as the skeleton sat neatly on his back. The stallion then back to the room with the skeleton of the unicorn is absent from his back, so he just think the stallion get rid the body and put it somewhere.

'Okay? When you will peek at me? I'm very outstanding and eye catching here man..." Zein muttered as he keep his eyes on the stallion. Wish granted, as the stallion turned to Zein driver pedestal as the stallion took few steps on the small stairs beneath the pedestal.

The pegasi himself then just observing at the driver as his eyes back and forward scanned at Zein and the suitcase. His eyes gleaming with curiosity over Zein display, and suddenly, also with greed. Like the pegasi gonna did something bad, really bad on him. Shuddered under the gaze, Zein can't hold himself.

"Are you gonna took me, or just saw the good? " the passive question is enough to make the stallion yelped with loud 'Eeep!' before he fell to his rump. He blinked his eyes few time as he registered the sound as the stallion scanned his surrounding that just filled with him and Zein. With small courage, the pegasi pulled himself up again before he stared at the driver.

"Uuh, Y-you ... you can talk? "

"Sure I am-"

"Holy Guacamole!! " yelped the stallion as he jumped behind and make a distance between himself and Zein.

"H-how? How a weird looking belt can talk!? That doesn't make sense! "

"Come on, in my vision you also a talking pony. It's also fucking weird aren't it? " The stallion visibly flinched at Zein remark, while then his face shifted to displeasure, clearly feel offended by it ' Seems like not really fond with swearing. ' with a mechanical sounded throat clearing, Zein stared at the stallion.

"And yeah, what do you want? I got nothing to do right now. " as the words rung in the air, Now the stallion face is the one who twisted in confusion.

"Ok? Firstly, what are you? A talking belt seems very weird right? Furthermore, how you can talk? " Classis no-classic introduction, where the protagonist stumble into unknown place before unknown being or an item they found give them super power. Well, Zein indeed superpower device technically.

"I'm Zein! A driver that ... uuh, held the power of Kamen Riders? But also a belt that contain me, probably one of the greatest artificial intelligence. " To be fair, Zein never really confirmed if he master them all. From his memory he find in the series, Zein just can use the Kamen Riders strongest from power, and it also single use.

"Artifi-what now? " the stallion face clearly carved with confusion, so Zein assumed whatever world out there they haven't create A.I. yet.

"Artificial Intelligence, in other world a brain that made using technology. " Zein saw many emotion flashed on the stallion face. Confused, then dumbfounded, before horror, turn to facsination, and end with confusion again.

"Soo, you're a soul inside a belt? " the stallion asked unsurely while pointed one of his hoof on Zein.

"What? "

"I mean, you said you refer yourself as 'Brain that made using technology' right? Which if following the concept of living, what ever 'Technology' you mean, that mean your brain still alive as it still have their connection with soul. And then you're alive but just as soul inside of a belt. So, you're soul that being created and put into a belt, and which make you an artificial soul! Am I wrong? " Zein have to open his eyes wider than what he could ever think, even when they just some imaginary. This stallion not as innocent and stupid like he think. The stallion say about the concept actually surprised him, tho, probably still foreign with the 'Artificial Intelligence' and refer it as 'Artificial Soul', proof his point three about the technology development there. They probably still not reached the GTA 5 yet, not like his have when he's here.

"In matter of speaking and probably simplification, big yes. " not like he have better explanation. Have Zein said, they're sounds quite ... retarded. No offence, but the way mentioning of 'technology' in the stallion words, they probably haven't invented internet yet.

"Now if you don't want to ask anything, can you took me out from here? " Zein asked politely as the stallion taken aback with the sudden out from topic question.

"Wait what? "

"You hear me birdie, please take me out from this place. " If he can beg, he will do it right now. But well, he can't let loose the last shred of his dignity as a man. Even when it's from a fake memories. The stallion just stared in surprise. Can't blame him, he seems like lost and suddenly found a talking belt that insult him directly. But, don't judge book by it's cover, this pony In front of Zein probably something else...

"Well, okay. Are you valuable? "

...Nailed it.

"Pardon? " The driver asked politely, slightly offended. The stallion smirked as he step to Zein suitcase pedestal.

"Like I say, Did you have any value? I mean, not everyday you find a talking belt right? Think how much I will get from you. " Smooth talk, winged horse. It's not like Zein ever meet someone sell a talking pony, but really? He even can imagine to see dollar on the pegasi eyes.

"Hold on. You want to sell me? After you found something that you never see in your life. You found me and the first thing you mind is my price? " you can hear disbelief in his voice clearly. The pegasi chuckled as he leaned to Zein.

"Trust me, it's not my first time selling something weird okay? " Smug and cunning, that's what word Zein saw in that smirk. He guess it's really not his first time selling something alive. While it's also great opportunity to get out from this place, he can't risky himself being dissect by random pony.

"N-now wait for a second. I'm a Zein driver, a device that somehow just being activated, and can counted as a sapient being. You want to sell something like that? " Zein already make peace with his situation like few minutes ago. Probably when the pegasi came. The said pegasi just smirked further.

"You maybe a sapient, but not a sentient, so probably still legal. If not, the black market is open wide. " well, shit. Now he get the biggest point. Want something illegal? Get some in the nearest black market now. So, now he going to the black market and saw if he probably had some currency? Not the brightest idea, but surely can do...

...Unless.

"Okay? How about you tried something first before you sell me. You probably want to change your mind after that. " the pegasi left brow rised as he judging on Zein. Now he want to pull out that Judging Pet meme on the pony.

"And what you refer to? "

"You see on my side? This is called progrise key, and it can give you power. " Zein tried to persuade the stallion, while he's not even a great manipulator or something. But the pegasi now more interested with it.

"Power? Really? " the pegasi asked judgementally, clearly not convienced.

"Yeah, just press the button on the top, and you'll become unstoppable! " Damn, now that's two-bit villain like talk. At least now this talk fully took the stallion interest. The said pegasi then approach Zein suitcase, as his right wing reach for the progrise key, as now the said item is held on the stallion wing.

Zein never properly saw the progrise key since it's very close to him, plus it's also out from his viewport. It white sleek appearance very cool. The cover plate on it front adorned by Kamen Rider Zein upside down insignia, and simple futuristic sketch of the said Rider. As letter of 'Kamen Rider Zein imprinted there.

"Okay, what next? "

"Press the button, and you gonna get the magnificent power! " Well, not fully the truth. While OP as fuck, Zein still have his limits. The pegasi inspect the Rider item on his wing, as few times also played with it. As his wing feathers then moved like fingers, the one that seems resemblance thumb is closing it self to the button...

...As it pressed, he waited the activation sound...

...But nothing...

The pegasi pressed the progrise key few time, as confused like Zein himself. The driver both surprised and disappointed by the fact the progrise key's not activated.

'Damn it, what's wrong with it? Did it broke? ' his thought wandering as Zein thinking about couple possibility. Not working? Really broken? Or...'

... Not compatible?

"Uuh, so? Is this supposed to do something? Cause it did nothing. " The stallion questioned as the Zein progrise key still sat on his wing. Zein still deep on his thought, as he keep guessing why the progrise key didn't turned on.

"Hey, talking belt? " the pegasi asked again, as still no respond from Zein. He turned to the room again while waiting Zein to talk again. Zein out from his thought as he blurted out.

"Sorry, you're not worthy. "

Silence. Zein expect the pegasi to taken back or at least shocked, but his face completely flat. The stallion put the progrise key back to Zein side, as he closed the suitcase, completely cut off Zein viewpoint.

"Hey! Seriously? No confused or at least some gasp? " he asked with deadpanned tone, a little desperated for the stallion answer. Not like he's thirst for admiration, but at least he want to get some disbelief from the only living being he just meet. Granted, he already did when the first time they meet, but he want something like respect or something similiar.

Zein felt he's being carried out from the room he was made and placed in by the dead scientist pony, as the foam beneath him act like shock absorber for him and Zein Progrise key. To be honest, he like that feeling. Being trapped in a box that being carried by someone is more comfortable rather just sat on it, immovable while keep saw the same scenery about the room.

Well, now he really going to be sold huh? He better be expensive...
