Garath woke up the next morning. It was a beautiful day, but both Garath and Thea had some work to do. Lili and Miranda need help with returning to their old bodies. He pulled out his laptop and scoured the internet to find any information that would be useful in helping Miranda and Lili return to life. Eventually, he found an article about a murder that happened in Los Angeles California. The news article talked about a pair of girls who were both murdered by their fathers in the same night. One of the victims was named Miranda Garcia, and the other was Lili Granger. The two girls had been best friends ever since they were kids. Unfortunately, it seemed like their fathers didn't like the friendship between them. But no matter what happened, Lili and Miranda always found ways to spend time with each other. At some point, both Miranda and Lili's fathers found out that the girls were hanging out against their wishes. Both men formed a temporary alliance to end their daughters' friendship for good. While Miranda and Lili were camping together, their fathers snuck into their cabin in the dead of night. Before either of the girls noticed the danger, each of the two men stabbed them in the heart with a knife. Miranda was the first one to die and it wasn't long before Lili followed suit. After that, the men went their separate ways to bury their daughters. Miranda was buried in a field near a Chrysler manufacturing plant in Los Angeles, while Lili was buried near a Land Rover manufacturing company in Miami. After the bodies were buried, both men took their own lives to ensure that no one would find the girls. Garath used Google Maps to locate each of the manufacturing plants where both his and Thea's new cars had been designed. After finding the addresses he needed, Garath sent one of them to Thea via text message. After closing his laptop, Garath got dressed in a denim button-up shirt with an Elvis Presley shirt underneath, a pair of Levi's jeans, a bullhide hat and boots.

Garath went downstairs and prepared breakfast for himself. Garath fried up some eggs with bacon and piping hot Black Label coffee by Devil Mountain. Garath tops off his eggs with a hot sauce called The Last Dab.

It is hot sauce that was used on a YouTube webshow called Hot Ones, and it's main ingredient is Pepper X: a chili pepper that is said to be twice as hot as the Carolina Reaper, weighing in at 3,180,000 Scoville heat units.

"What kind of hot sauce is that?" Heather asked.

"It's called The Last Dab. And its main ingredient is Pepper X. Pepper X is a chili pepper that weighs in at 3,180,000 Scoville heat units. And some people say that it is twice as hot as the Carolina Reaper." Garath answered.

Heather's eyes widened.

"Damn. That is crazy hot. How do you even stand that?" She asked.

Garath chuckled.

"I'm a veteran when it comes to spicy things. So, Pepper X has no effect on me." He answered.

Garath finished his breakfast and went out to the garage.

"Good morning Miranda." He said.

"Good morning sweetheart. How are you today?" Miranda replied.

Garath smiled as he climbed into his car.

"Pretty good. Lili and Thea are headed for the park and I thought we'd join them there." He said.

"I like that. Let's go." Miranda replied.

They left the garage and Miranda played I'm Always Here by Jimi Jamison from Baywatch.

🎶Some people stand in the darkness
Afraid to step into the light
Some people need to help somebody
When the edge of surrenders in sight

Don't you worry,
it's gonna be alright
'cause I'm always ready
I won't let you outta my sight

(I'll be ready) I'll be ready
(Never you fear) no don't you fear
(I'll be ready)
Forever and always, I'm always here

In us we all have the power
But sometimes it's so hard to see
And instinct is stronger than reason
It's just human nature to me

Don't you worry,
it's gonna be alright
'cause I'm always ready
I won't let you outta my sight

(I'll be ready) I'll be ready
(Never you fear) no don't you fear
(I'll be ready)
Forever and always, I'm always here

'cause I'm always ready
I won't let you outta my sight
No

(I'll be ready) I'll be ready
(Never you fear) no don't you fear
(I'll be ready)
Forever and always, I'm always here
Forever and always, I'm always here🎶

Garath and Miranda arrived at the park. Lili and Thea were already waiting for them. Thea noticed that her friend arrived.

"Hey, Garath, good to see you." She said.

"Good to see you as well Thea. Same goes for Lili." Garath replied.

Lili giggled shyly.

"I have to admit, you certainly are a charmer. Miranda's lucky to have you." She said.

Suddenly, everyone else in the area started running and screaming in terror. Thea looked around, but she couldn't see anything.

"What's going on?" She asked.

Garath ran off and hid. He pulled something out of his pocket and put it against his waist.

After that, a belt was formed. Garath looked up at the sky.

"エムバス、変身承認申請中！" He said. (Emubasu, henshin shōnin shinsei-chū!- Translation from Japanese: M-BUS, requesting transformation approval!)

Garath pushes a gray lever on his driver and a computerized voice spoke up.

"Meteor, ready?"

A satellite unfolds some kind of energy cannon as Garath prepared for battle.

He moves his arms in a fluid motion before holding his right arm above the left.

"変身！" Garath said. (Henshin!- Translation: Transform!)

Garath jerks his arms apart with his right hand hitting a blue switch on the right side of his Meteor Driver. The M-Bus satellite shot a ray of energy down to earth and it causes Garath to transform. As the transformation completes itself, Garath is encased in a orb of blue colored solar energy which flies off and smashes into a Scorpio Zodiart that was going after Thea and the girls.

The Zodiart was knocked back as the blue meteor landed in front of Miranda, Lili and Thea. As the blue meteor faded away, a mysterious man in black stood in its place.

"Who is that?" Miranda asked.

"お前は一体誰だ？" The Scorpio Zodiart asked. (Omae wa ittai dareda?- Translation: Who the hell are you?)

The stranger made eye contact with the Zodiart, and then he spoke.

"かめんらいだ メテオ、 おまえのさだめは俺が決める。" He said. (Kamen raidāmeteo, omae no unmei wa ore ga kimeru.- Translation: Kamen Rider Meteor, I will decide your fate.)

The Scorpio Zodiart rushed towards Meteor, but the Kamen Rider was showing great skill in the art of Jeet Kune Do. He let out high pitched battle crys with each attack.

"Woo! Hwatcha!! Ha-ha-ha! Hwatcha!!"

The girls watched as Meteor pushed a button on his gauntlet

"Jupiter ready!"

Meteor rested the index finger of his left hand on a scanner and got into a stance.

"Ok, Jupiter!"

A strange weapon formed around Meteor's right hand, and it looked like the planet Jupiter.

Meteor got into a stance and was ready to strike.

"Hoooo!!!!!!"

The Scorpio Zodiart rushed forward, but Meteor hit it with his weapon, sending the Zodiart flying."

"HWATCHA!!!"

Meteor pushed another button on his gauntlet and prepared for another attack.

"Saturn ready!"

Meteor hit the scanner.

"Ok, Saturn!"

A projection of Saturn was formed around Meteor's right hand, and as he swung his arm, three violet colored copies of the planet's rings were launched directly at the Scorpio Zodiart.

The rings repeatedly struck the Zodiart and obviously did a lot of damage as he fell to his knees. But Meteor wasn't done yet. He pulled a small device from his belt and inserted it into his gauntlet.

"つぎでおまえのさだめがきめる!" He said. (Tsugi de omae no sadame ga kimeru!- Translation: Your fate will be decided next!")

"Limit break!"

Meteor touched the scanner again as an aura of energy began to encase his right hand.

"Ok!"

Meteor began striking the Zodiart with hard, yet fast jabs with his right arm. The aura around his arm made it look like a comet with a tail.

The cosmic energy from Meteor's attacks caused the Zodiart to explode and self destruct. Kamen Rider Meteor was the last one standing. Thea stared at him in amazement.

"Wow. That was amazing." She said.

"Yes. Your skills are impeccable." Miranda replied.

Meteor turned around and looked at the girls.

"Perhaps it is time I showed you who I really am." Meteor said.

Meteor reverted back to his human form. And right where the Kamen Rider was standing, was Garath. Thea's eyes widened.

"Garath? You're Kamen Rider Meteor?" She asked.

"Yes. I am." Garath answered.

Miranda and Lili were shocked to find out that Garath was a superhero called Meteor.

"Where do you get your powers from?" Lili asked.

"I get them through cosmic energy that is provided by an M-BUS space station in Earth's orbit. Without it, I can't even transform." Garath answered.

The four friends spent some time at the park and had fun spending time together. But Jimmy showed his ugly face again.

"So, you destroyed my minion, huh?" He asked.

Garath glared at his father.

"You no longer have control of me, old man. And I suggest that you get lost before you get yourself into more trouble." He said.

This made Jimmy very angry.

"I am your father, little boy. Don't talk to me like that. Whether you like it or not, you will obey me. Even if we don't live in the same house. And I order you to take me to court. I am supposed to appear there today to argue in a case against your slut of a mother." He said.

Garath spun on his left foot and hit Jimmy in the face with a Spinning Back Kick. The kick was packed with enough force to break Jimmy's nose. Thea could only watch as Garath stormed over to his father, and his fists were tightly clenched.

"No. I will let the cops take you there. I make my own decisions. Miranda and I are not your own personal slaves that you can summon whenever you damn well please. Now get up off your fat ass, get out of my face, and get out of my life." He said, pointing at his car.

Jimmy did what he was told, but he hadn't gone far when some nearby cops cuffed him and took Jimmy to court. Garath glared as the cops drove to the court house.

"I hope I never see him again." He said.

Miranda drove up behind Garath and gently bumped him.

"It's okay baby. He can't hurt you anymore. Besides, you really showed him who's boss. Nobody will ever mess with you as long as I'm around." She said.

Garath and Thea went home that evening, and Heather was waiting for them with a wide grin on her face.

"Mom? Are you okay?" Garath asked.

"I'm fine. I won the case. And old fat face didn't even get a chance to plead. The jury found him guilty of several charges of child abuse, rape, and murder. So he's going to jail for life." She answered.

Garath smiled.

"Good riddance." He said.

They went inside for the night and Miranda was settling down in the garage. However, she knew that Jimmy would most likely find a way to break out of prison to get revenge on Garath.

"If we hear anything about Jimmy escaping from prison, Lili and I will be ready. The two of us will hunt that bastard down and kill him. Nobody abuses my man, and gets away with it." She said.

Miranda finally settled down for the night. While Lili was thinking about everything that just happened. First, she and Miranda found out that Garath is the Kamen Rider Meteor, and then Jimmy gets a life sentence. But much like Miranda, Lili knew that Jimmy would eventually find a way to breakout of prison. But even so, she was willing to help her friend kill the man responsible for abusing Miranda's beloved boyfriend. Even if she was trapped in the body of a car, Miranda loved Garath very much. And she wants to be with him, forever.
