Kyo wasn't particularly alert when Yukiro approached him and jumped visibly at the new arrival. Scratching his nose as he looked at the man in front of him (the word, 'dark' seemed to spring to mind, readily) and wondered if he should try bluffing him like he had the Yakuza guy or if he should be honest here. Thankfully, he decided that this guy seemed to be an authority around here, he probably had quite a lot of pull so he didn't want to offend him or act like he was untrustworthy
Using the most respectful language he could without knowing the man's name or sounding sycophantic, Kyo stated why he was here "I need to ask for help. There's this girl, she was attacked by some rogue kaijin from this world so I travelled here to try and find her a cure. My friends restored her life energy, but she's still in a coma. Please, if you know anything, anything at all, I need to save her. If you don't, I hear that Queen is the one to speak to, could you please take me to her?" Kyo had a nagging doubt about his honesty, what if he'd misjudged this world? What if the Kaijin weren't in the minority here...
Of course, he could try and fight his way out but... what then? He couldn't travel dimensions freely, he'd have to find some means to escape or risk spending the rest of his days hunted.
But it was for Yoichi... he had to help her. He waited for a response from the man in front of him, hoping for good news.

"Queen is very busy today, I'll try to see if she'll accept you." This man seemed different. He was probably from a different world. "Follow me." Yukiro said as he walked up the stairs. "You're not from this world, are you?" he said on the way up.

Takeru returned Queen's smile and thought about what she'd said.
"Well, you'll function better with me than without me, it can never hurt to have some extra....muscle," Takeru answered, half joking, "but I'm not here for anything else." was how he finished, except that was when Kengo walked through the door.
The instant Takeru set eyes upon kengo, he knew that this was the warrior whose soul Takeru was given by King as he had died, and Kengo's comment to Queen only confirmed the already definite fact. He could even feel Kengo's soul react, growing hot to the touch, so hot that Takeru could feel the warmth through his satchel. "Ignore that last comment of mine, I think I have urgent business with this guy." Takeru added, the green glow emanating from his satchel now...

Queen waited for the both of them to finish speaking, noticing that Takeru was no longer trying to hide the glow from inside his bag. It was obviously already that whatever it was, it had something to do with what the non-human alien wanted. She did not know what it was that the previous King apparently took but she wanted to know. It might be useful. "Conduct your business then," she instructed.

Kengo held his belt at his side, and looked at the man with the satchel.
"What exactly did King do to me, and why haven't I been able to feel since then? Do you know?" Kengo asked, with no hope or sorrow or false emotions. His voice was completely flat. Dull and empty. The game was up, he figured, and if he'd get his emotions back they'd be back once he got back what King stole.
"More-over, did you know about this, Your highness? This... Theft, by the man you are supposed to have been married to." He said, his words still flat and droning. Hollow.

Kyo simply nodded, his previous statement making it particularily obvious that he wasn't from this neck of the woods. He was simply admiring the architecture, trying to get a feel for the place, it felt pretty alien to him (which was ironic, given he was especially alien in this world). To try and not seem rude, he replied to the question
"I'm from a world where an evil organisation took over, enslaved humanity. It was a bad time, I had to fight a lot of people to save them. Of course, now I'm not sure why I bothered... they never tried to stand for themselves" Kyo was remembering his last real battle, the fight against his brother Omega. It'd been exhausting, he wasn't sure he could reach that level again. Forcing himself back to reality, he tried to make himself sound less desperate
"If Queen's busy I can wait. I know I'm not all that important, but I'm here on behalf of a girl who's very ill, so if possible I would like to see her sooner rather than later" Kyo silently cursed himself for panicking again and trying to ensure he did get to see Queen. The guy in front of him made him uneasy for some reason, but he couldn't for the life of him work out why.

"Well you might have to wait for Queen." Yukiro said as he stood in front of the door. "Let me go see if Queen will accept you. Wait here." Yukiro went inside and strode to Queen. "There's another guest requesting an audience with you. He isn't from this world, he just flat out told me that. His reason isn't that urgent. He says a girl is ill and I guess he wants you to fix it somehow." Yukiro whispered to Queen.

Takeru gazed into the other man's eyes. They were completely devoid of emotion, and frankly it was a little unnerving.
"Unfortunately I have no idea what King did to you, although I believe he somehow took your soul," Takeru tried to explain, pausing to take the glowing green orb out of the satchel. "He also said that it seems you truly did beat him in the end, and that I was to return this to you. However he didn't tell me who you were, so it was a near miracle we've met here today." Takeru added, holding the orb out to Kengo.
"It's yours, I don't really need to hold on to it any longer. Carrying another man's soul is...well...not normal I suppose." Takeru stated, with a half-grin.

A soul!? Queen would have asked how it was possible but she had not forgotten that Takeru mentioned he did not know in the same sentence. It was not that the concept of soul extraction was alien to her, for she had suspected it was possible, but what baffled her was how someone could still retain their life and their mind without it. Perhaps Rook would have an answer for her. His mastery of magic was something more befitting a Bishop.
"Do you know how to reinsert your soul?" she asked both genuinely curious and with a diplomatic motive. "Would you like my subjects to help?"
"If you can help this guest then do it yourself," she then said to Yukiro. "Our move now should be building goodwill and I trust your discretion."

"Well, if this doesn't work... We'll probably need some help." He said in an almost cruelly deadpan way. He reached out and touched the orb. It was colder than he'd expected it to be, almost freezing, but he could feel it thrumming. He picked it up, and stared at it hard, before it simply melted into an ooze, absorbing itself into his palm.
Tears formed in his eyes, and he fell to his knees, crushed by sorrow and regret he didn't know he would feel, should be feeling. He'd died? Really? He was supposed to be... Kamen Rider Atlas. Unstoppable. He had unfathomable speed, how did that monster... How did those bats... He was on his knees, arms limp at his sides. He sat with a blank look on his face, tears streaming down his face.
"I'm sorry for your loss, your majesty..." He whispered, still choked and vulnerable to his emotions. He couldn't remember anything since he had last felt with his heart that would erase these tears... Troublesome time, it'd been. At least he wasn't sobbing.

Takeru frowned somewhat as he saw Kengo's reaction to the re-insertion of his soul, as the man was overcome by his emotions. Takeru wasn't frowning out of frustration or disgust, he was frowning out of pity, being overwhelmed by that much emotion wouldn't be good for anyone. Losing the forwn he looked towards Queen.
"I'm guessing it happens just like that. After all, one's own soul would easily re-insert itself into it's body, which makes the process automatic. You saw the way it reacted to him before he touched it right?" Takeru suggested. He thought to himself that Queen probably wanted to know about soul insertion for other purposes than reuniting lost souls with their owners, but he payed that thought no attention. They were allies now.

Yukiro watched as the soul was reinserted in awe. He had never thought that King would be able to steal a soul, only to have it replaced to easily. Meanwhile, outside, Xanxaskivat flew out to Kyo and circles around him, then finally saying, [glow=gray,2,300]"You're a strange human. Why go to Queen for an ill girl?"[/glow] Yukiro nodded to Queen and went back outside. He looked at Kyo and explained, "Queen has told me to help you myself. Now what exactly do you need?"

Queen simply observed without comment, carefuly studying the process. She should have known, but it seem strange that it would be so easy. "It was a good loss," she finally said. "His ambitions were threatening the Fangire Empire and himself, I am glad the former was not loss." Seeing that there was nothing more to attend to, Queen begin to turn and walk up the steps to her exit from the audience chamber. "I shall not be seeing you off then."

"No, it seems you shan't. Take care, Queen." He said, pulling the pieces of his head back together. He pushed himself back to his feet. He was surprised by the strength in his own legs, and tugged at his shirt. He wiped the back of his wrist across his face, then turned to Takeru.
"I am sorry to interrupt your audience, but I thank you for returning this to me. I've to be going now, there is business to be done in my old world that I've sworn to attend to. If you like, show up in Kiva world immedately. I won't hold my breath, it'll be dangerous." He said, before leaving. He would proceed to snake his way out of the building, headed back to his bike. He didn't wait for Takeru to offer to join, nor did he pay attention to anyone until he was in the lobby. He waved at the rabbit fangire before pushing his way out of the building, mounting his bike, and getting out of there before anyone could stop him for questions, the portal opening right in front of his bike. -Exit Kengo.-
