Rena had been dragged here. Xenia thought that Rena was far too somber and gloomy for her own good. So when they were 'on holiday' as Xenia put it, meaning not working on Oracle business, Xenia had insisted that Rena come drinking with her.
Rena enjoyed going drinking with Jerome but Xenia was a different matter. Her sister was so cheerful and carefree despite everything they'd been through. Although Jerome tried to appear hopeful for others' sake it was obvious to Rena that it was just a farce. He was much more like her, discontented with the state of the world, and beyond believing it could be saved. Well discontented made it seem like he was brooding. He wasn't. He just accepted the world the way it was.
Jerome got why she refused to talk about the past and never pressed her with questions. Xenia wasn't the same. Xenia would try to get her sister really drunk in hopes that she would discuss the past. Xenia thought it would be good for her twin. Rena never played that game, though. She would only drink one or two glasses. She wouldn't discuss it. She wouldn't!
And then it happened again. One moment Xenia was just fine, drinking and laughing at a joke someone had told and the next she started speaking words that no human tongue was meant to speak. The words, if they could be called that, were harsh and garbled. It wasn't any human language. The Oracle had confirmed that for certain.
"Xenia," Rena said comfortingly, trying to move closer but Xenia just backed away in a terrified fashion, even falling off her chair. She clutched her head and huddled in a fetal position, repeating certain 'words' again and again catatonically.
Not again! "Xenia, Xenia," she said gently, once again moving towards her twin in an unthreatening manner. Xenia started screaming. Xenia jumped up, grabbed her glass and smashed it, holding one particularly sharp piece dangerously out in front of her, towards her twin.
"Stay away from me! You won't take me! You won't take me!" she shrieked. The rest of the words were indecipherable nonsense. Rena stood back, scared. Xenia didn't even recognize her. And now Xenia had a sharp piece of glass aimed at her. Xenia's fits seemed to be growing more violent. And they were coming more often. What had those monsters done to her sister?!

Zack walked into the bar after a hard day talking though meeting after meeting about getting the city permission to build a Volt-Opt Hospital and organizing his team to perform rescue demonstrations. That and having to agree to take a look at the city hall's security which he did so. So when he went to the bar he was hoping to get a drink or two.
What he didn't expect is to see a woman who seemed to be having a episode of sorts and another moving away from her. With good reason as the former seemed to banishing a piece of glass at the latter.
Sighing and thinking this may bite him in the butt later, Zack walked up the two and wore his Fang EX belt and said," I hope this is not a daily occurrence and miss would you kindly put down the piece of glass, as it seem you are hurting yourself with it."

Rena briefly glanced over at the newcomer. "You should really stay back," she said with authority. Xenia was completely unpredictable when she had her fits and she could become very violent. Hell, Xenia didn't recognize Rena and they shared a face.
And Rena needed to try and calm her sister down. This stranger definitely wouldn't help matters.
Xenia, who had been continuing to babble in that strange tongue paused to move the piece of glass back and forth between Zack and Rena.
"You all want to cut into my head! But you won't get me again!" she screeched before spouting another string of nonsense words. She continued to move the glass in both Rena's and Zack's directions in a twitchy fashion, seemingly confused about which one posed the biggest threat.
"Xenia," Rena said in as calm a tone as possible.
"NO! NO MORE LIES! YOU WON'T TAKE ME!" And with that Xenia hurled herself at Rena, glass aimed for her twin's throat. Rena had been wary and had managed to move to the side just in time either due to her caution or her intuition or both. Xenia, however was far from giving up. She threw the shard of glass at Rena and pulled out a knife.
Rena managed to avoid the piece of glass but now she was at a loss. Xenia was violent. Rena wanted to restrain her but she was worried about hurting her twin. Xenia had no such qualms. She was already rushing towards her sister, viciously swinging her knife. This was going to get messy fast.

"Went from bad to worse," said Zack as he quitely and quickly said ," Get Ready... Henshin!"
Zack transformed into Kamen Rider Fang Ex and got between the sisters and making sure that Xenia's attention was on him. The knife while usually effective on most things was not strong enough to piece the armor or at least that was Zack's assumption. Thus Zack let Xenia wail on him with the knife and only moving to redirect the knife's angle and to make sure that Xenia was only attacking him to her heartscontent.
Zack sighed as he said to Rena," Seriously I do have to ask is this a daily occurrence? Because normally if it is she would be at a hospital getting help. Unless there is a very good reason she is not in there."

Ah. So he had suit. No wonder he felt so confident about getting involved. Not like Rena was going to complain. She didn't have that sort of protection and although she was a very good fighter, she was at a serious disadvantage when Xenia was involved, as this wasn't her sister's fault; and, she didn't want to hurt her.
Rena glowered at the person as Xenia continued to shriek and stab at the man to no obvious effect, spouting her nonsense. "Of course it's not a daily occurrence," she scoffed. That much was true. Her fits had been getting worse and they'd been coming more often but it was still not a daily occurrence.
"I've never seen her act like this before. Probably a bad reaction to alcohol," she lied. There was no way she was going to let someone take her sister away! It wasn't Xenia's fault and normally she was perfectly fine.
C'mon Xenia. Calm down and return to normal. Usually Rena would be repeating her sister's name comfortingly again and again but that didn't seem to work this time. It would probably just snap her attention back to Rena which would definitely not be good.

"Alcohol right," said Zack," Well it does bring out a lot of things i guess. Also this is really starting to get ridiculous."
With that said Zack pulled out the Shield memory and placed in it the JOker Maxium drive slot changing into Fang Guardian.
"You seem to be on good terms with her," said Zack as he activated Guardian Harderning twice on the other woman who was not trying to stab Zack to death," I just created a lot of protection on you so you can go near her and hot get hurt. But whatever you do please be quick, that power of this form hurts the spine a lot. And when I mean the spine, I mean my spine."

Rena nodded gratefully at the person. Normally she wouldn't be quite so quick to trust a stranger but he was trying to help Xenia. And Rena needed to believe him so she could help too.
She approached her twin, calling out her name softly. "Xenia. Xenia. Xenia it's okay," she said gently. Xenia switched her attention to Rena and let out an earsplitting shriek. She didn't speak an English this time. It was all gibberish as she hurled herself at her twin, slashing with her knife.
"Xenia. Calm down. It's okay. It's okay," she said soothingly. Xenia didn't appear to be paying any attention as she tried to strike her twin again and again with the knife. Fortunately, true to his word, Rena was protected by whatever the man had done.

Zack watched the two and made note of the of the name that was being used. Xenia. Zack made a mental note to see if Intel had anything on the name but most likely not. Unfortunately, Zack turned his head and saw a lot of the bar patrons were covering from the sight and paranoia of Xenia attacking them with the knife. And of Zack's sudden transformation. Zack could already hear the sirens of the police car that was coming up the driveway of the bar.
"Er Miss? I think you need to hurry up even more, the cops are here. I can stall them but that won't stop them from draging Xenia to the nuthouse."

Rena nodded back at the stranger. Shit. Xenia wasn't going to come out of this...whatever the hell this was on her own any time soon. She was too...paranoid or something. Well really she was too fucked up from whatever those monsters had done to her with the alien tech.
"Xenia, I'm really, really sorry," she apologized. She knew her sister well and with her intuition, she could figure out her moves even when she was acting this crazy. Xenia didn't have Rena's intuition and she certainly wasn't thinking rationally when she was in this state.
Rena, dodging around the knife, hit Xenia hard in the right place; and, she slumped to the ground unconscious, dropping the knife.
Rena picked up the knife and pocketed it. Then she scooped up her twin. "We're good to go," she called back to the man. "Thank you," she added sincerely. All things considered, everything had gone well enough, thanks to his intervention. No one had been hurt and Xenia would likely be herself when she woke up.

"Run out the back," said Zack," There's a ambulance like vehicle with a turret on top, and two uniformed men. Tell them where you want to go and don't worry you can trust them."
"Go fast," said Zack," I'll delay the cops."
Zack de-morphed into his civilian formed and straighten his jacket and walked out the bar to talk with the cops.

Rena shook her head. She was definitely not in the habit of trusting strangers. And there was no way she was getting in an ambulance!
"Thank you for your help but I can take it from here," Rena assured him. She carried her twin out back. Escaping out the back was probably the best way to go. But she wasn't getting in a stranger's vehicle! Especially not one that looked like an ambulance!

At the back of the bar which connected to a street, a Battler ARV was hot dropped into the street. This particular model was outfitted like a diplomatic vehicle with the Wild Lance Irregular Emblem displayed on both sides of the ARV. Two uniformed officers walked out of the vehicle and waited in attention for the "person" Commander Deragon had mentioned. When Rena came out with her twin, the officers snapped to their salute and the first officer nearer to the driver's door said, "Curtsey of Commander Zack Deragon of the Wild Lance Irregulars ma'am> Where do you want us to drop you off ma'am? Or would you prefer to do divisionary tactics?"
