As the old man sailed across the sky, Rachel pulled out a pair of Lockseeds. She unlocked the larger of the two before tossing it out into the street. The padlock enlarged and folded out, eventually transforming into its jetbike form. She walked over to the vehicle, before turning back to face Anno. She wanted to help?
"Um, well...uh, just...be careful and make sure you don't do anything too dangerous, okay?" Rachel wasn't sure what dangerous things the other girl would do, exactly, but telling her to be cautious when confronting someone who was flinging old men across the city seemed reasonable enough. Besides, telling her to be careful seemed better than telling her to stay out of things. While Rachel had yet to run into such problems, she knew of way too many TV shows or movies (things her travels told her may actually be based on true events) where someone who was meant to be safely away from the action followed the heroes and distracted them at a critical moment.
With that out of the way, she opened the second Lockseed.
Grape!At that moment, what seemed to be a large circular zipper appeared over the brunette's head, opening up to reveal what seemed to be
a strange grape-themed object. With a movement which had certainly not been carefully planned and practiced for several days, her left hand, holding the lock shot out to her side, before slowly arcing around in front of her torso. From here the Lockseed was quickly brought down and slotted into the front of her belt before being sliced with the Driver's knife attachment.
Lock on! Hai! Grape Arms! Dragon, Fire! Bang! Bang! Bang!The "grapes" suddenly smashed down on Rachel's head. Her normal clothes were suddenly replaced with a green and gold suit before the grapes opened up, folding down to form
the rest of her armour. Reasoning that the enhanced abilities of her Rider form might help catch the old guy, Rachel got on her Dandeliner, ready to move out.
However, before she could race off to the man's rescue, a strangely dressed individual exited the bar, shouted something and set off to...presumably save him. If a flying senior wasn't enough to confuse Rachel, this new "superhero" was. She stopped in her tracks, in part because if it turned out this guy had the "save the old man" situation under control, it would make more sense to go after whoever was responsible for this in the first place...and in part because she needed a few moments to fully process what had just happened.
