Toa Solaric: I don't own Kamen Rider or Senki Zesshou Symphogear G. They belonged to their respective creators. Last time, we have an amazing duked out between the new Baron and the original Baron as we're going to see the who the victor is…
Kamen Rider Kamuro: Music of Heaven G
Ch10: Shadow Identity! Bloody Debut!
Lord Baron and Baron stared hard at other before continued with their attacks. As each swing that they made on the other, becoming more painful than the next ones.
The two eventually realized that neither of them are going down as their strength slowly deplete soon. Lord Baron let out a growl as his entire body glowing with blazing aura as his sword glowing with gold aura.
"I will win this fight, Kanade Amou!" Lord Baron roared as he pours everything he goes into the last attack.
Baron takes out the Suika Lockseed and placed it in her Matchlock Caliber before pushing down her Cutting Blade three times.
"VICTORY SPARKING!"
"SUIKA CHARGE!"
"Here I come, Kaito Kumon!" Baron shout with determination in her voice.
Baron's armor glowing in crimson aura similar to Lord Baron before the two stares at each other than charge forward.
Both of them let out their battle cried as they made one last final strike at each other. When their blades collided with each other, the power of the attack caused a massive explosion.
Everyone in the base looks completely shocked at the result of the explosion before the screen in front of them goes haywire.
"Kanade!" Tsubasa shout with worried.
"Get the camera back online immediately!" Genjuro said to the operatives of the base.
"I-Is she alright…?" Chris asked, with unnerves tone.
So this is the power that Kaito possessed when fighting against Kazuraba… Takatora thought calmly to himself.
Soon the operatives working hard before the big screen returned to normal and everyone have a surprised look on their face.
Both Kaito and Kanade are lied on the ground. Tsubasa soon turn toward the door and start running outside immediately in a blue blur.
(Play Brilliant World by Kaori Oda)
(Instrumental) All the Relic Necklaces can be seen with the Lockseeds can before the screen changed immediately.
Kurayami no saki ni matataiteru aoi hoshi-tachi
The sun rising up, Lapis and Hibiki soon make a run together to the hill. We soon seen Lapis and Hibiki. Kanade and Ryoji. Tsubasa and Chris.
Hikari no kiseki boku wa shinjiteru
Soon the scene changed in 2nd Division headquarter as Genjuro and others working as they keeping eyes out for any Noises activities.
Haruka tooi hi no kanashimi ga kage o otoshikonda kono sekai de
We see a scene of Lapis is working in Flower while talking with Miku, Hibiki, and Chris. Kanade and Tsubasa were training with each other like what they did in childhood.
Nani o shinjitara subete wa hitotsu ni kagayaku darou?
Ryoji is helping the local Beat Riders practicing with their routine with a smile.
Wish on a Star!
Serena is leaning against the wall while holding on the Ringo Lockseed before saw the Beat Riders performance and can't help to smile a little.
Kono sekaijuu no shinjitsu kara me o sorasazu ni
Soon the scene changed as it shows Kamuro, Kurokage-Shin, Baron, Knuckle, and Kurokage in dark room while showing off their skills with their weapons. Then we see the Symphogear girls doing the same as well.
Boku-tachi wa ima yume ni Mukau
Duke standing on a hill with the Solomon Cane. Beneath him were shadow armor figures and Symphogear users as they ready to unleashed Helheim on the world. Lapis nodded to his friends as they're ready to transform as they out to save the world. Kamuro soon burst into blue flame before transforming into his Kachidoki Arms while holding onto his Hinawa Daidai DJ Gun before firing the screen in front of him.
Hokoru beki mono wa kimi no naka no kokou no hikari
All the Symphogear users were clashed against each other. Kamuro and his fellow Riders collided with Inves commanded by same shadow armor figures, but they soon blow away by new allies joining the fight.
Tsuyoku hakanai kimi o mamoritai
The final scene shows Lapis and his friends looking out from a meadow as sakura blossoms passing them.
Both Kaito and Kanade are lied on the ground as both Riders are breathing hard. Both of them used every strength they possessed for their final blow which result this unexpected tie.
The redhead turns her head and looks at the original Baron. "H-how was that, Kaito…?" Kanade asked.
The original Baron still have his stoic look on his face while resting on the ground. Kaito took a deep breath before he spoke up, "You are strong, Kanade Amou. Strong enough to bear the title of Baron unlike that fool Shura. Get stronger… and we may fight again." He said.
"Very well…" Kanade answered with a smirk before she fell unconscious.
"Kanade!" Tsubasa shout, running toward her best friend.
(Next day)
Kurokage-Shin soon brought up his Sonic Arrow up into the air before releasing the arrow. The arrow soon form an energy like lime from above before it burst into many arrows as they were launched at Chris.
Chris summoned many missiles in order to counter against them as they collided with the energy arrows then causing large smoke to appear.
Chris uses this chance to get away from here before hiding behind a nearby wall.
"LIME ENERGY SQUASH!"
This made Chris's eyes wide before the wall got destroyed in the process with Kurokage-Shin charging forward at her.
She brought up her guns to defend against Kurokage-Shin's Sonic Arrow.
"Is that all you got, Chris? I thought you can do better than that!" Kurokage-Shin said.
"I am not done yet!" Chris exclaimed before using her leg to kick Kurokage-Shin's chest and sending him stagger back, so she can move a few feet away from him.
"Eat this!" Chris shout as she summoned massive weapons around her. "I hope you can survived this one…" she said.
Kurokage-Shin got out his Energy Lockseed before equipping to his Sonic Arrow before gathering energy to the tip of his arrow.
"LIME ENERGY!"
Both attacks collided with each other as Chris and Kurokage-Shin send flying backward before they reversal back to their original forms.
"I guess that would be a draw, don't you agree, Chris?" Ryoji asked, getting up before approaching Chris.
"Same here… I guess I kinda of overdid it." Chris said before seeing a hand and look up at Ryoji.
"Thanks." Chris said before being lift up by Ryoji himself. "I thought that I got you since I have more years of experience using Symphogear."
"Well, I think to my Driver given me the stamina and strength to move unlike my previous Driver." Ryoji answered. "Though I have to train additional in order to use the power of Genesis Driver."
"Hey Hase… Do you ever miss Jonouchi?" Chris asked.
"I've always did and wished he can do his best to have a better life." Ryoji answered.
"What do you think will happened if Yggrdrassil never interfere, do you think you two can stay as friends?" Chris asked, making Ryoji look surprised.
"I think we would still be friends and goof around the street, but we might never mature from what happened." Ryoji said before crossing his arms and goes into a thinking position. "Though I wonder if he is still being forced to cross-dress because of Oren?"
The thought immediately caused them to shudder.
Meanwhile back in the Ryoji's original world, his best friend Jonouchi is currently working with the flours before he sneezed immediately.
"A-AACCCCHOOOOOO!"
Causing the entire kitchen being spread with flours.
Miku hurry to the door after hearing knocking sounds.
"I'm coming…" Miku said. "Who is it?" she asked.
"It's me and I have Hibiki-chan's order." The voice said as Miku opened the door and revealed Lapis carried a bag.
"Hey, Lapis-kun." Miku said before allowing him into the dorm room.
"How is Hibiki-chan doing?" Lapis asked, coming into the room.
"She is fine, though Genjuro-san mention not to let her transform again or her condition be worse." Miku said with a down expression.
"I see…" Lapis response before seeing Hibiki doing her homework on the bed.
"Hey Lapis-kun! I take it that my order right?" Hibiki asked, looking over from her table. "I am getting hungry from the studies."
"Always have food on your mind, huh… That is so like you." Lapis comment with a smile before placing it on the table.
"Hey Lapis-kun, did you watch the match between Kanade-san and Kaito?" Hibiki asked, curious. "Miku-chan and I were busy with my makeup assignments, so we couldn't watch the fight. So did you know who win?"
Lapis shrugged. "Sorry, I didn't have time since it was kind of busy at the store. I heard from Tsubasa that the fight was a tie." Lapis said. But he also felt the power of the two from miles away while he was doing the delivery yesterday.
Hibiki gave him the money in return and Lapis put it away. "Well, I have to go now since I have more delivery to handle." He said before leaving the dorm.
After Lapis leaving the dorm room and heading for his Sakura Hurricane, he hears a familiar voice calls out to him.
"Wait up." Lapis turns around to see Miku hurry toward him.
"What's wrong, Miku-chan?" Lapis asked with concerns. "Did Hibiki-chan choke on the food again?"
Miku shakes her head even though they know she tend to be like that.
"Lapis-kun, I want to ask you something." She requested. It's a good thing that Hibiki isn't around to hear since her attention focused on the foods.
"What is it?" Lapis asked.
"I'm still worry about Hibiki's condition… what if we couldn't find a cure to save her?" Miku asked with worried expression.
"We can't give up on our friend just because of that," Lapis said. "There might be a possibility that we might overlook. Remember that I making sure you and Hibiki-chan being able to graduate from school."
Miku remember that promise Lapis made after he come honest about his identity. "Lapis-kun, what does it mean to be a Kamen Rider?" Miku asked, getting the silver Rider's attention. "I know you uses your power to protect those around you, but what is other burdens besides protecting others?"
This made Lapis goes into a deep thinking about Miku's question before answer it. "To be honest, though Riders fight protect innocent, there are some like Kaito fights for themselves than others and some won't hesitate hurt innocent people."
"I see…" Miku said quiet.
Lapis then looks at the time on a nearby clock, "Sorry, Miku-chan. I need to be hurry in doing my delivery." He said before getting on his Sakura Hurricane and places his helmet on.
"Okay, bye Lapis-kun." Miku said as she watching her friend riding off on the street.
She was about to head back to her dorm when she notices a black cloak figure watching nearby. Soon a truck went passed the street as Miku noticed the black cloak figure is nowhere in sight.
What in the world was that? Miku thought confused before she went back into the school.
Maria currently looking at her Relic crystal in her hand. There weren't any important missions that Ver want her and the girls to fulfil, she want to be herself. Her focus is on the certain event still flowing in her mind.
"I…" The memories of Ver trying to eliminate the children with Noise still haunted her mind. She know asks Ver to help will come with some risks. Though that the Original Baron intervene, she wished that she have done something to stop Ver.
But how would Serena react if she hear what I was trying to do? Maria thought with worried expression.
"Maria, are you alright?" Maria turns around and see her Mama as she rolling her wheelchair into the room.
"Mama… I don't know if I can handle this anymore." Maria said.
"Maria, you've no longer need to pretend to be Fine anymore. Be yourself." Nastassjar said with a rare smile.
"Mama, there is also something I need to tell you." Maria said before telling her about encounter Serena in her dream and the truth about the forest. This causes the older female scientist to look shocked and speechless.
Nastassjar might dismissed as a bad dream, but consider how Serena changes throws every scientific beliefs out of the window.
"I-I… didn't know about this or make of this." Nastassjar said.
Unknown to them, Ver was standing behind the wall without making any sort of sounds. But a sinister grin shows upon his face.
Elsewhere, a truck driver is driving his vehicle down the street.
I hope that I could get there in time before night… The truck driver thought to himself.
Just then the truck driver saw Sid standing in the middle of the street with number of Inves standing behind him.
Sid looks snapped his fingers as the two Shika Inves come forward and stop the vehicle with their own hands as the driver start shaking immediately.
"Monsters…!" The driver exclaimed with shock.
"Hello there…" Sid said with an evil smirk. "I hope you can let us have what you carrying back in the trunk."
The truck driver didn't say anything, but getting out of the vehicle and start running for his life. But one of the Elementary Inves got him by the shoulder and lifted him up in the air.
"Sorry, but we can't allow any witness." Sid response.
Before anything else could happened, a green like disk appear and knocked down the Elementary Inves before attacking other Inves.
Suddenly the green disk shield return to Zangetsu's hand as he getting off of his Sakura Hurricane. The white Rider's attention focus strongly on Sid and revealed his Musou Saber.
"K-Kamen Rider…" The truck driver stuttered.
"Get out of here." Zangetsu said calmly as the truck driver left immediately.
"It's been a while, Kureshima..." Sid said with a devious smirk. "How many years has it been since we last seen each other?"
The white rider know it been nearly a year or two since Sid passed away back in his world. But after hearing from Kazuraba about Sid rising from the grave and working to bring Helheim here, he can't passed the chance of stopping his former employee.
"Don't talk casual with me, Sid." Zangetsu scoffed. "I know you are targeting something valuable from this vehicle is some priceless relic for your group. What are you planning?"
"Sorry, but I can't allow to tell you. But it will help our agenda." Sid said before taking out his Cherry Energy Lockseed.
"CHERRY ENERGY!"
"SODA~! CHERRY ENERGY ARMS!"
Soon standing in Sid's place is none other than Sigurd with his Sonic Arrow.
"This time you won't even get in my way again." Sigurd said before charging forward.
Zangetsu got out his Musou Saber as he charged and the two weapons collided with each other.
After Lapis completed his delivery on time, he was about to head back to the store when he hears an explosion sound nearby and saw a building burst on fire immediately.
"What in the world!?" Lapis asked, looking with shocked expression.
He soon heard growl sound before turning to face pair of fiery monsters with rock like feature while the rest looked striking like fire and lava. Whenever they walk, their feet seem to melt the concrete they stand on.
"Dopants…? But how are they here?" Lapis wondered out loud.
He soon saw civilian running away when the Magma Dopants attacked the building and hearing crying sounds as he saw a little boy looks lose.
Suddenly Lapis have a serious expression on his face, like a switch had been turned on. He had switched from his regular persona of Lapis to Kamen Rider. As the Kamen Rider, he was supposed to protect the innocent from the shadow.
Lapis got out his Driver before he places it on his waist as the belt formed. He then take out his Silver Lockseed and pressed it immediately.
"SILVER!"
Lapis goes into his pose before locked the Lockseed in his Driver.
"Henshin!" Lapis shout with a serious expression before pushing down his Cutting Blade.
"SOIYA! SILVER ARMS! HAKUGIN NEW STAGE!"
The Silver Arms land on his shoulders before his bodysuit materialized and forming his armor as Kamuro. When the fireball about hit the child, Kamuro jumps in the way before send the attack upward and cause the fireball to vanish.
"I won't let you destroyed their lives!" Kamuro shout before charging forward at them.
The Magma Dopants saw Kamuro before they unleashed their fiery flame. But Kamuro summoned his barrier while running to get close toward them and soon engaged in battle with them as he slashed them with his Souginjou.
After seeing them rolling across the street, Kamuro soon pushed down his Cutting Blade once.
"SOYIA! SILVER SQUASH!"
Kamuro jumps into the air before his right leg glow with silver energy then descend down with a Rider Kick upon the Dopants. When his attack made contact, the two Dopants exploded immediately as Kamuro jump backward and lands on his feet.
Kamuro looks around and surprised to see ashes in their places. He came closer and knee on one leg ground and got some sand in his hands.
This made Kamuro looks odd at the situation. "Strange… They aren't any human and any sights of broken Gaia Memories." Kamuro mutter confused. Before he could figure anything out, he suddenly felt a chilling presence from his behind as he turns around to block the familiar black blade with a skeleton design.
There is only one person who could use it.
"You… Fifteen." Kamuro said with shock and horror as he stares at the skeleton theme Rider. The same Rider from Helheim…
"This time I will take you out for good." Fifteen said before kicking Kamuro back with his left leg. "You're nothing, but pathetic!"
"I am not pathetic!" Kamuro shout before getting up from the ground and charge forward with his Souginjou at Fifteen.
But Fifteen got out his sword as the two weapons collided. Sparks flying in multiple direction, but both Riders put forces behind their weapons as they're evenly stand their ground. Soon both Riders pushed each other away from each other.
"You should give up while you still have a chance. Pretty soon… this world is going to become the next battle Royale for Golden Fruit and those petty humans will vanished." Fifteen said sarcastic and darkly.
"Bullshit! This world doesn't need the Golden Fruit to decide itself fate! I won't let anyone else being sacrificed for that fruit again!" Kamuro shout with angry.
Kamuro's visor glow as he activated his power to summoned Helheim vines and sending them directly at Fifteen.
But Fifteen's Yomimaru glows with dark flames before Fifteen swung them as the vines being destroyed in the process.
Kamuro then got out his Musou Saber and pulling the trigger as he firing shots at the skeleton theme Rider. But Fifteen rolled to the side and dodging most of the bullets while knocking the remains down.
"KACHIDOKI!"
Kamuro soon replaces his Silver Lockseed with the Kachidoki Lockseed before locked it into his Driver.
"LOCK ON!"
Fifteen soon ran at him with his sword ready.
"SOIYA! KACHIDOKI ARMS! IZA SHUTSUJIN! EI, EI, OH!"
Kamuro transformed into his Kachidoki Arms before getting out his Kachidoki Batas to block against Yomimaru before his other Kachidoki Bata lit up and slammed into Fifteen's chest. This causes Fifteen to groan before stagger backward from the attack.
Fifteen and Kamuro soon pushed down their Cutting Blade Once.
"FIFTEEN SQUASH!"
"KACHIDOKI SQUASH!"
Both attack clashed with each created an explosion, but both Riders aren't push back. Before Kamuro could attack the black Rider, but Fifteen let out a devious laugh.
"What's so funny?" Kamuro questioned, holding his Kachidoki Batas ready.
"You won't allow anyone to be sacrificed for that fruit, huh? How foolish of you..." Fifteen said darkly. "Then what about those people who trust their life with you when no one else didn't… after that civil war long time ago? You promised them freedom, but you let their lives gone to waste... just because you gone after the false Golden Fruit."
This stop Kamuro immediately and his eyes widen behind his helmet. Suddenly he hears screaming occurring in his mind as he held his helmet.
"Shamubishe!"
"Help us!"
"How could you leave us like this!?"
"How do you know that?" Kamuro questioned. None of the Dark Riders should know about his past unless ….
"After all, we were there, don't you remember?" Fifteen asked before his helmet suddenly shimmer and revealed his real true face.
"No… It can't be." Kamuro said with disbelief as if he looking at his own reflection. "Who are you?"
Standing in Fifteen's armor is himself except his eyes are sick yellow color.
"I am your shadow, your True self. The part of you that you casted aside long time ago." Fifteen said with dark tone.
"No! You can't be…" Kamuro said.
"Everyone think you're the perfect white knight and perfect in every way… but the chance you earned to live in this world, you've sacrificed those lives depend on you and let them die!" Fifteen sneered at Kamuro.
"You're wrong!" Kamuro shout before charging at Fifteen.
But his dark counterpart puts his helmet back before he brought up his sword to block the Kachidoki Batas with no problem as shadow aura around Fifteen glows. In flash of speed, Fifteen then slash down both flags before grabbing Kamuro by his horn then slammed him into the wall.
"Meeting Kouta Kazuraba is pointless. He brought those pointless and discarded dreams back from the ashes." Fifteen said. "Maybe if you weren't so weak… you could have save our sister."
"You… You aren't me!" Kamuro shout, having enough of him. "YOU CAN'T BE ME!"
"Oh? Hm Hahahaha… Hahahaha!" Fifteen laughed. "That's right, say it again!"
Kamuro was confused, he was confused and very furious. "You're not me… YOU NOT ME!"
Suddenly the dark aura around Fifteen began to grow before Kamuro was pushed backward from him.
"DARK DECADE ARMS! SEKAI NO HAKAISHA!"
Fifteen emerged in a dark version of Decade Arms with dark blue visor and have a RideBooker in his hand. He soon dashed forward and Kamuro was ready. Both weapons collided as sparks flying in every directions before the two Riders force each other back.
Kamuro swung his Kachidoki Batas, but Fifteen turns into a black blur and starting running around him to confused him.
However, Kamuro brought up his Kachidoki Bata to the ground as he created a large crater. But Fifteen have leaps into the air and vanished.
"DARK DECADE SQUASH!"
Kamuro barely have time to turn around as he saw Fifteen coming down with a Rider Kick before the attack come in contact with his chest armor.
"AAAAHHHH!" Kamuro screamed in pain as massive sparks flying of him while being throwing across the street.
But Fifteen wasn't done yet as he continued deliver multiples slashes at him, causing Kamuro scream in pain. "I know well enough that you won't be taken down easier… but I'm going to enjoying hearing you suffer." Fifteen said.
Before the black rider could do anything, he got thrown backward by a strong wind and turns around to see Serena with her Driver on.
"I thought something was odd about you…" The Demi-Overlord stated before taking out her Ringo Lockseed. "I glad that I decide to follow."
"RINGO!"
"Henshin!" Serena shout.
"COME ON! RINGO ARMS! DESIRE OF FORBIDDEN FRU~IT!"
She transformed into Idunn and got out her Sword Bringer before charging forward.
"You… Are the last one I expect to find us, Half-Breed." Fifteen stated.
Both Idunn and Fifteen crossed swords with each other as they send blows at each other while sparks flying in the air. When Idunn swing her sword, Fifteen disappear immediately and she turns around in time to block the attack with her shield despite being pushed backward.
"I don't have time for you, Half-Breed." Fifteen said before turning his RideBooker into gun mode and firing at her with dark bullets.
"COME ON! RINGO SQUASH!"
Idunn spins around in the air with her shield to protect herself from Fifteen's attack before landing on ground.
"Damn, so this is the power of Tsukasa's counterpart…" Idunn remarked. She never seen Dark Decade, but hear rumor some time ago in the past.
When Fifteen about to attack her, Idunn leap into the air as she fall into a Crack before vanished. Fifteen look around before hearing a familiar sound as Idunn emerged out of the Crack again and attack him with her Sword Bringer.
She was about to leap into another Crack until she find out that her legs couldn't move due to being binds by black vines before being slash in the back by Fifteen himself.
"You aren't the only one with tricks." Fifteen said, coming closer.
"Damn…" Idunn gritting her teeth before she saw Fifteen's sword going at her. But Idunn rolled to the side to avoid being stabbed.
Before Fifteen could finished her, Idunn soon got out her Airgetlam Lockseed and unlocked it.
"AIRGETLAM!"
Fifteen was about to attack before he is blinded by the bright light of Idunn's Lockseed and forced to move backward.
"COME ON! AIRGETLAM ARMS! FATE'S SALVATION!"
Idunn got up as she donned in her Airgetlam Arms and glare at Fifteen.
"What is this power?" Fifteen questioned.
While Fifteen stunned, Idunn deliver some serious kicks to Fifteen's chest as sparks flying in the air. Soon Idunn summoned out her weapon which is a sword that have white and gold hilt and a cresent shaped like blade before charging forward.
Fifteen brought out his sword before blocking several swings as sparks flying in the air before both Riders pushed each other back. Both Idunn's and Fifteen's visor suddenly glow as they send vines at each other as the vines lashed out at each other.
Idunn then pushed down her Cutting Blade once.
"COME ON! AIRGETLAM SQUASH!"
Idunn rotated her blade carefully as energy gather around the weapon before she unleashed a double slash toward Fifteen.
The attack forced Fifteen back as sparks flying across his armor before he collapsed on the ground. He suddenly get up and glares at Idunn.
"Damn you, I won't forget this." Fifteen growl before vanished into the shadow.
"That was a close one." Idunn said before closed her Lockseed and revert back to her original form.
Serena turn around and going to check on Lapis. But she finds a sight shocks her completely.
Lapis is sitting on the ground with his arms around his knee and currently shaking.
"H-he isn't me…" Lapis muttered.
(Back with Zangetsu)
Sigurd fired his arrows at Zangetsu, but surprisingly Zangetsu brought out his Musou Saber to deflect each of them as the deflect arrows struck the Inves nearby.
The two Riders clashed once again. "Surprised that you don't even uses your Genesis Driver. Too bad, it was destroyed along with your family reputation in society." Sigurd said.
"That doesn't matter to me. The only thing mattered to me is taking you and make you judged for your crime, Sid." Zangetsu said. "I am not the only one doing it alone."
Before the Viking Genesis Rider reacted, he spotted blue blades rain down from above and causing explosion.
Tsubasa descend as she stands beside Zangetsu with her sword ready.
"Sorry, I am late, Kureshima-san." Tsubasa apologized.
"Not at all. But don't let your guard down." Zangetsu said.
When the smoke vanished, Sigurd still standing though there are bruises on his armor.
"Unforgivable… unforgivable…" Sigurd said before pushing the lever.
"SODA~! CHERRY ENERGY AU LAIT!"
Soon Sigurd unleashed massive wave of red energy toward Zangetsu and Tsubasa. But both of them dodged the attack before going after Sigurd.
What they didn't expect was Sigurd unleashed a red arc of energy and unleashed at Zangetsu before an explosion occurs. This causes Sigurd to laugh at what happened to his former boss before he hears something else.
"SOIYA! WATERMELON ARMS! MIDARE-DAMA, BA-BA-BA-BANG!"
Suddenly the white armored Kamen Rider emerging with Arms similar to his Melon Arms but with difference in colors such as red replacing the gold parts of his suit and watermelon green for the Arms. His weapon happened to look like his Melon Defender, but with a machine gun on the front.
"Oh crap…" Sigurd comment at the sight of Watermelon Defender Gatling Gun.
"I don't need a Genesis Driver against the likes of you, Sid." Zangetsu remarked. "You don't need it either for where you're be held."
Before the Genesis Rider could reacted, Zangetsu fired rapid bullets with his shield gun hybrid Watermelon Gatling Gun as massive sparks flying from his chest.
Tsubasa then spins her Naginata sword as she charging forward and send blazing slashes toward Sigurd.
Zangetsu pushed down his Cutting Blade once.
"SOIYA! WATERMELON SQUASH!"
Zangetsu raised his weapon as green energy gather on the Watermelon Defender Gatling's tip before Zangetsu pulled the trigger. Wild bursts of energy watermelon seed shaped bullets spewed from the Gatling gun.
"AAAARRGGHH!" He screamed as he being struck by the energy bullet and sprawling backward, knocking to the ground.
Sigurd try to run away before he noticed he couldn't move since one of Tsubasa's sword stick in his own shadow.
"Shit…" Sigurd cursed mentally as Tsubasa charging at him with a double slashes.
This cause him to denhenshined and his Genesis Driver rolling on the ground not far from him. Tsubasa picks up the Genesis Driver in hand.
"You won't get away with this-" Before Sid trying to get out a Lockseed, but Tsubasa slammed the hilt of her sword on his forehead and knocked him to unconsciousness.
Meanwhile watching Zangetsu and blue Symphogear user to detain Sid was Tyrant and Bujin Gaim.
"Hmm… Sigurd got himself caught." Tyrant said before looking at Bujin Gaim, "It time to see that power you obtain from Master himself and thrash their organization."
"They won't see it coming." Bujin Gaim mused before he and Tyrant disappeared.
Zangetsu soon opened the back of the truck before finding an unexpected sight of Sid's objective.
"What is this?" Tsubasa asked, look surprised.
"I don't know. But we better bring it and Sid along." Zangetsu said with serious tone.
"You know… for this battle, it was a little too easy." Tsubasa said with warily.
"You aren't the only one." Zangetsu comment.
In the trunk of the truck looks like a fossil dinosaur head with weird carving on it.
"As of right now, I don't think it a good idea for anyone to come over right now since it will make my uncle really uncomfortable." Serena said as she talking over her cellphone.
Serena soon got off her cellphone with Tsubasa. She soon return to check on the older Overlord in the kitchen. Lapis covered himself with a blue blanket and haven't even touched his bowl of portage that she made for him after she returned.
"How are you feeling, Lapis…?" Serena asked.
Serena have difficulty of getting Lapis to talk after they got home. Lapis haven't response for few minute before realizing Serena was in front of him and looks down at his bowl.
"Oh… sorry, Serena." Lapis said quiet before he eat some of his food quiet with a spoon.
"So Fifteen… is he telling the truth?" Serena asked. She finds out the part about Fifteen's real identity is something hard to believe. "Is he really a part of you?"
But Lapis didn't respond as this made the Demi-Overlord glare at him.
The Serpent was right… Serena thought with serious.
"There is something you didn't tell others about what happened back in Helheim, didn't you Uncle?" Serena asked.
Lapis tensed his shoulders and shut his eyes.
"No matter how much I don't want to believe it… but he was right about one… I let those who put their fate in me perished. I abandoned the people who following me for my own self reason and let them die." Lapis said. "Because… I was weak."
When Fifteen says those words of the Civil War, Lapis forced to remember the past he thought he already moved from. He was chasing after Kougane who continued his madness on the world and left the people who trusted him to their demised by their own kind. He let the people who looks up to him as their savior down.
It was too late to even save any one of them. That left a permanent scar on his soul.
"This is my fault…" Lapis said.
Suddenly he felt a pair of arms wrapped around his shoulders as Serena put him in a warm embraced.
"I see… the real reason you didn't tell others because you didn't want to make them feel scared?" Serena asked as Lapis nodded slowly.
"If they did, they won't have the confident against the enemies." Lapis answered. It also hurt to his pride as Overlord being afraid of his own Shadow.
"Then… I will help you overcome your Shadow." Serena said with resolve.
"Are you sure? Shouldn't you be focused on rescuing your sister?" Lapis asked.
"I can't let this go on without notice any further." Serena said. Beside she need her uncle by her side to stop the enemy from conquer the world.
"Alright…" Lapis said.
"It's getting late and we should rest." Serena said, but Lapis suddenly have an uncomfortable look on his face. "Lapis, what's wrong?"
"I don't think I will be able to sleep with knowing Fifteen might break into the apartment…" Lapis said.
Suddenly Serena have an idea before showing a smile. "Then how about we sleep together?" she asked.
"Huh? Are you sure about it?" Lapis asked.
Serena nodded. "Beside I will watch your back if anyone trying to attack us in our sleep." The Demi-Overlord response.
Lapis thought about it for a moment. "Fine…but you better not doing anything funny." He said.
Serena huffed a sigh of defeat. "Of course. But I will need to go to the bathroom first." Serena said before heading off to the bathroom now.
Lapis soon finished his meal and gone washing the dishes before getting on his light blue pajama. He got onto his bed when he hears footsteps.
Lapis turn around to see Serena in a pink nightgown and her hair is let down. Serena soon climb into bed and sitting next to him.
"Good night, Serena." Lapis said before turning off the light and goes to sleep.
"Night…" Serena said before having a smirk on her face.
Fifteen is currently stares at the moon from above a building.
"Those accursed humans corrupted the sky with these lights…" Fifteen growl.
"What do you want, Demon Snake?" Fifteen questioned.
"I came to see how you are doing, Fifteen." Maja said. "But I want the power of the Dark Riders. Hand it over."
Fifteen soon walk passed Maja. "I think not. But remember I don't work for you, my own goal is crash him and those human. I am only thanking you for released me." Fifteen said.
"Very well. But I won't disposed you as long as you don't interfere with our plan." Maja said before walking away from him.
(Next morning)
Lapis let out a soft groan and start stirring up as his eyes slowly opened. But he wished that he didn't open to the unexpected sight next to him.
Serena was sleeping peacefully next to him with her arm wrapped around his waist and her face is close to his. She isn't wearing her pink nightgown at all, but wearing a black and red bra instead.
This cause his heart suddenly stop and slight shade red appear on Lapis's cheek. "Ummm…How?" Lapis utter with disbelief.
Suddenly Serena start waking up and rising up from the bed before released a yawn.
"M-morning… Lapis…" Serena said, still sleepy. "How are you feeling? Did you feeling any better?"
"Serena…"
"Yes, what is it, Uncle?" Serena asked, rubbing her eye.
"Why did you take off your nightgown?" Lapis asked.
"It was sort hot last night so I have to take my nightgown off. Did you see something you like?" Serena asked before a smirk form on her face.
This causes Lapis blushed up a storm before looking away from the younger Demi-Overlord who start laughing. Lapis is always surprised at how forward Serena toward him.
(Flower)
Boss Lady is currently getting the fire ready as she start her daily routine in the store. She soon hear the door opened and footsteps.
"Oh, morning Lapis…" Boss Lady said, still cooking the food.
She looks up before her eyes wide at the black cloak figure with glowing yellow eyes and grinning with sinister grin.
The elder woman was about to scream, but the black cloak figure placed a napkin against her mouth as she suddenly passed out on in his arms.
"Sorry… but I will need you for a bit." Fifteen said before opened a Crack in the store.
Lapis and Serena soon come to Flower before Lapis realized something is wrong as he noticed the door opened.
Lapis soon hurry into the restaurant and find no sight of Boss Lady.
"Boss Lady!" Lapis shout.
Serena looking through the kitchen and notice foods in the stove.
"That strange… Lapis, does she usually leave food in the stove?" Serena asked.
Lapis shakes his head. "No, she doesn't ever leave food made unfinished." He said.
Suddenly Serena noticed a napkin on the floor before picking it up and smell it before having a serious look on her face. "Someone must kidnapped her. This smell exactly like alcohol." She said.
"I have an idea who…" Lapis said, gritting his teeths.
Speaking of the devil, Lapis felt a strong headache before collapsing on his knee.
"Lapis, are you alright?" Serena asked with shocked.
Lapis suddenly have a vision of his Shadow standing in what looks like a forest. Fifteen looks at him intensely.
"Hearing me, fool. If you want to see that woman you who you consider close as a mom alive, come and face me. This time, you won't be allow to flee like a coward." Fifteen said. "What's going to be?"
After Lapis regain his focused as he gritting his teeth. "Damn it… He have her." Lapis growl.
"Let me guess he communicated you through thoughts?" Serena asked, helping Lapis getting back up from his feet.
"I have to save her…" Lapis said.
Suddenly Kanade and Ryoji came into the store as they noticed them.
"Lapis, where is Boss Lady?" Ryoji asked.
"Fifteen take Boss Lady." Serena answered, causing them to become shocked.
"Wait, what?!" Kanade asked, look shocked.
"Why would he go after Boss Lady herself?" Ryoji asked before noticed Lapis have a hurtful look on his face.
"Lapis, are you alright, man?"
But Lapis didn't respond as this cause increased worried toward his friends.
"Lapis, are you alright?" Kanade asked.
"Do you have an idea where he could take her?" Serena asked.
Lapis didn't say anything before running out of the door of the restaurant before any of his friends could reacted.
"What in the world is going, Serena?" Kanade asked.
"And why does Fifteen pissing him off?" Ryoji asked.
"I'll explain it on the way out. But we need to keep up with Lapis before we end up losing track of him." Serena said.
"What is the status?" Genjuro asked.
Soon the screen shows Bujin Gaim standing not far from the mobile base itself.
"Masanori..." Genjuro said.
"But I don't see him having a monster army like usually." Tsubasa noted.
"Something doesn't feel right about this…" Takatora said. Even though Bujin Gaim choose to come alone, he can't felt something off about the situation.
"Either way, we need to stop him." Chris said before heading out of the base immediately.
"Wait, Yukine!" Tsubasa shout, but Chris didn't hear her voice.
Soon Chris emerging out of the mobile base in her Symphogear armor as her eyes spotted Bujin Gaim already.
"Hmph, never imagine to see the original host's brat come here willing…" Bujin Gaim said in mocking tone.
"You…" Chris growl. "Before I kicked your ass, I want to know why tou-san make a deal with you!?"
"Oh? From what I've hear about you don't trust humanity especially after your parents abandoned you in that war and yet you want to know…" Bujin Gaim mocked. "How does it feel to be a killer after stain your hands in so many blood?"
"Shut up…! SHUT UP!" Chris growl before firing several shots at Bujin Gaim.
But Bujin Gaim got out his Musou Saber and deflects many bullets with it. Before he advance toward her in a blink of the eye and slash down her weapons.
"Damn…" Chris gritting her teeth as she couldn't move away from Bujin Gaim in time.
But Bujin Gaim soon move out of the way when a familiar blue blade come straight toward him. Chris turns around to see Tsubasa and Genjuro coming out to help.
"Are you alright, Yukine?" Genjuro asked.
"What are you doing here?!" Chris questioned, slight angry.
"You can't face him alone especially when you allow your emotion to blind your judgement." Tsubasa warned with serious expression.
"You aren't the only one who wished to save him." Genjuro reassured.
"Do what you want." Chris said, looking away.
"So you think that I would be scared that there are two more." Bujin Gaim scoffed.
"You sound pretty confident…" Tsubasa said, looking caution at him.
"I don't know what you're planning, but we're going to stop you." Genjuro said with serious tone.
Genjuro got out his Driver as it already been equipped with the Genesis Core and a belt form around his waist. He soon got out his Kurumi Lockseed and Marron Energy Lockseed.
"KURUMI!" "MARRON ENERGY!"
Suddenly two Cracks have open above Genjuro and two metallic fruits appear. The first one is the Kurumi Arms and other one is a brown metallic chestnut appeared.
"Henshin!" Genjuro shout.
"LOCK ON!"
Genjuro soon pushed down his Cutting Blade to open both Lockseeds.
"MIX~!"
The Kurumi Arms and Marron Energy Arms soon merged together to form a familiar black object before descending on Genjuro's shoulders then folded downwards to form his armor as Knuckle.
"KURUMI ARMS! MISTER KNUCKLEMAN! JIMBER MARRON! HAW-HAW!"
Knuckle soon donned the Jimber Arms with an orange chestnut pattern on it. His helmet now sported what looked like a circular golden sun crest with spikes jutting from it. While normally Jimber Arms would arm a Rider with the default Sonic Arrow, Knuckle wore a pair of gigantic boxing gloves the size of beach balls and covered in spikes and looked like chestnut.
This is Kamen Rider Knuckle Jimber Marron Arms!
"Whoa…" Chris comment.
"How interesting…" Bujin Gaim said, bring out both of his swords before charging at them.
"Let's go." Knuckle said, slamming his fists together.
Soon Chris and Tsubasa followed immediately after Knuckle with their weapons ready.
The two Riders soon start clashing with each other as their weapons made contact with each other.
A Crack emerged as Lapis leap out of it on his Sakura Hurricane before looking around the forest. No, he didn't gone to Helheim again but he used a Crack to reach to this forest which wasn't far from the city.
"Where are you?" Lapis asked with worry tone.
He can't let the person who have been his mother figure down again after what happened with the Neuroi tries to start their invasion. If he let her being killed by Fifteen, he couldn't even forgive himself.
Lapis suddenly notices the appearance of the forest began to change completely and made his eyes wide immediately.
"No, it can't be…" Lapis muttered.
In the place of the forest resembled a medieval village. This is a place that Lapis thought no longer exist after Helheim overtaken his world.
How could it be here? Lapis thought with shock.
Suddenly Lapis snapped out of confusion when he felt chilling winds against his spine before ghost like entities coming after him.
"Shamubishe! You shall die!" They exclaimed.
Lapis's activates his Overlord power before summoning vines out of nowhere and attack the ghost like entities as they disappeared on contact with his vines. But more ghosts like entities appeared as Lapis gritting his teeths.
"I don't have time for this…" Lapis said before summoned more vines to attack the ghosts and start moving on his way.
He have been moving for couple of hours around, but still find nowhere out of here especially dealing with the ghost like entities.
"Lapis!" A familiar voice shout.
Lapis turns around and see Kanade with Serena and Ryoji next to her.
"How did you find me here?" Lapis questioned with a serious tone.
"Thanks to Serena's ability to trace your Overlord power. Though this place is a bit freaking as hell." Ryoji comment.
"Serena told us about what happened and your connection with Fifteen... he is a part of you, isn't he?" Kanade said.
"No, he isn't it." Lapis refute.
"But why didn't you told us about what happened back there?" Ryoji asked. "Did you think we were chickened out if that happened?"
"This isn't like you at all." Kanade said. Sometime she can't handle Lapis act like a lone wolf and didn't tell them anything.
Lapis sighed before looking away from them. "The reason why I didn't tell you guys… because I haven't been this afraid in long time." Lapis answered.
"What do you mean by that? It sound like you loss all of your emotions." Ryoji remarked.
"I did. I lost the capability of feeling emotions after being sealed along with Kougane." Lapis said, making Ryoji and Kanade look shock.
The memories of being in the darkness with no one made him emotionless for many years until the seal was broken.
"That kind explains why Tou-san thought you were bit odd at first when you two first meet." Serena remarked with a calm expression.
"So what?" Kanade asked. "Everyone have something that haunted their life… but it doesn't change who you are."
"But the fact that Fifteen exist… I can't accept the fact how it even possible. I thought that I've finally move on from the past." Lapis said with a frustration tone.
"Are you sure that Fifteen and Boss Lady are here in this place?" Ryoji asked. "I thought this place was a forest."
"Yes. But I don't even know how." Lapis said.
"But what is this place?" Serena asked.
"It's the village used to exist on my world." Lapis answered.
"Wait, I thought the place was already covered by Helheim!?" Serena said.
"But I got a feeling that Fifteen try to divert my attention from finding him. Though I don't know the way out of here." Lapis answered.
"Don't worry, Lapis. We will make sure nothing bad happened to her." Kanade reassured with a smile.
"BLOOD ORANGE SQUASH! JIMBER BLACK CHERRY SQUASH!"
Knuckle and the two Symphogear users jump out of the way of attack before they respond with their attacks of their own.
Chris start off with firing her missiles at Bujin Gaim who is currently using the ability of Jimber Black Cherry to moved away from them before dodging the incoming flying swords at him.
"That is enough!" Knuckle said before slammed his fist to the ground and creating a quake toward Bujin Gaim.
Bujin Gaim suddenly stop move when the ground beneath him start rumbling, causing him to stumble to the ground. Knuckle then sliced his Lockseed once.
"KURUMI SQUASH! JIMBER MARRON SQUASH!"
Jumping into the air, he screamed as he spun and his Marron Bombers shed off their outer shell, firing spikes in all directions. Bujin Gaim had no time to react as he been hit by the spikes causing him to groan in pain. Soon Knuckle lands on the ground then proceeded to punch Bujin Gaim and sending him further back.
Chris was about to bring out her gun before they hear a laughing sound from Bujin Gaim.
"I am not the same before… this time I've obtained a new power." Bujin Gaim said, taking something caused them to become shocked.
"Impossible! Where did you get that!?" Knuckle questioned with disbelief.
"No way… That-" Chris gasped. That is the same thing Lapis obtained.
"How in the world?" Tsubasa questioned.
"BLOODY KACHIDOKI!"
Suddenly there a red zipper above him as a red Crack started opened above Bujin Gaim as crimson aura surrounding him. Then what looks like Kachidoki Arms part except the orange color was replaced by the bloody red color instead descend down from above.
Bujin Gaim then replaces his Blood Orange Lockseed and his Genesis Core for his new Lockseed and he inserted into his Driver.
"We won't allow you use it!" Chris said before summoned two machines guns and firing them.
"KURUMI SPARKING! JIMBER MARRON SPARKING!"
Both Tsubasa and Knuckle throws out their strongest attacks at Bujin Gaim in hope of stopping him as an explosion occurs. They thought that it will be over when they heard a demonic voice calling from the smoke.
"BLOODY KACHIDOKI ARMS! TEKI NO CHI DE NYUYOKU!"
Stood out of the smoke is a figure with terrified crimson aura and crimson eyes before marching toward them.
Bujin Gaim stand in front of them in a bloody color version of Kachidoki Arms. But what's different about the Kachidoki are the Bloody Kachidoki Batas. The flags are red and have some torn.
This Bujin Gaim Bloody Kachidoki Arms.
"This is completely wrong…" Chris said with disbelief.
"That power shouldn't be used for evil." Tsubasa said.
"I am going to show you who is going to have the final laugh." Bujin Gaim said before taking out the war torn flags before charging at them.
Chris soon snapped out of her thought before firing her crossbow guns at Bujin Gaim. But the bullet deflects off Bujin Gaim's chest armor as Tsubasa head for him with her sword.
But her attack got deflect by Bujin Gaim's Bloody Batas before they glow in dark red flame as Bujin Gaim slammed the floor to unleashed dark energy flame to send two Symphogear users backward.
Bujin Gaim then looks at Knuckle. "Now, it's your turn…" he said in a dangerous tone.
Knuckle charge forward as he send flame like energy punches at Bujin Gaim. Bujin Gaim didn't flinch from the attack as he summoned crimson fireballs around him before using his war flags to send them at Knuckle.
"Commander!" Tsubasa shout.
Knuckle still standing his own ground after being hit by Bujin Gaim's attack. "I am fine…" Knuckle said.
Bujin Gaim was about to attack Knuckle before he spotted several yellow arrows occur in the sky coming at him. But Bujin Gaim got out his war flags and slashed them away, he then noticed a white blur coming toward him as he block the attack with both flags before pushed the white figure back to revealed it none other than Zangetsu.
Except Zangetsu looks different than usually. Instead of his Sengoku Driver, he possessed a Genesis Driver with a Melon Energy Lockseed. His bodysuit looks the same except for the black padding on the sides. His chest plate was still green and textured like melon skin, but has orange panel on the right side, along with large orange shoulder plate. His personal emblem was etched on the left side of his armor while his left shoulder was bare. His visor was now orange with more prominent black trims and had futuristic design on the helmet and head crest. Instead of sword and shield, he was armed with the Sonic Arrow.
This is Kamen Rider Zangetsu-Shin. Zangetsu's Genesis Rider form.
Suddenly coming down to join him are New Baron and Zuuban.
"You…" Tsubasa muttered with surprised.
"I don't like to see someone who walking around with the same appearance as my old rival. It's annoying." New Baron stated cold.
"Let's go." Zangetsu-Shin said before charging forward along with New Baron and Zuuban.
Bujin Gaim summoned more black fireballs before swung his Bloody Batas to send at them. The two Genesis Riders got out their Sonic Arrows before firing the arrows at the fireballs. Zuuban is the first one to tackle against Bujin Gaim when he already puts up his Bloody Batas to defend himself.
Then Zangetsu-Shin and New Baron swung their Sonic Arrows at Bujin Gaim to slash him on the chest. But the attacks didn't hurt him much before he slashed them with his Musou Saber.
Both Riders jump out of the way as they soon fired more energy arrows at Bujin Gaim as Zuuban try to attack the Dark Rider with his fists to send him stagger back. Soon Knuckle, Tsubasa, and Chris hurry to help them.
Bujin Gaim then brought out his own version of Hinawadaidai DJ Gun before scratch the DJ table as a loud demonic sound could be hear before he starts firing at his enemies to prevent them from having the chance of fighting back.
But New Baron brought up his hand to stop several shoots and gather them into orb before sending them back at it's owner.
Zangetsu-Shin got out his Melon Energy Lockseed before inserted it into his Sonic Arrow as energy gathering at the tip.
"MELON ENERGY!"
The two attacks struck Bujin Gaim hard as he being send a few feet away from them.
"I should expect that his new power would be this much troubled." New Baron said.
Bujin Gaim then combined his gun and Musou Saber together into accessing the Taiken Mode as the crimson blade emerged. He then pushed down his Cutting Blade three times.
"Oh no, that is—" Tsubasa gasped as she recognized that attack often used by Lapis.
"BLOODY KACHIDOKI SPARKING!"
He then places the glowing Bloody Kachidoki Lockseed in the slot of his sword.
"1! 10! 100! 1000! 10000! 100000000! 1000000000000! MURYOTAISU! BLOODY KACHIDOKI CHARGE!"
Bujin Gaim then raised his sword to the side as it gathering energy.
"RAAAGGGGHHH!" Bujin Gaim roared before he swung his sword at his enemies as blazing crimson energy were send at them.
After they make it out of the illusion of the village and fending off against strange specters, they saw Boss Lady lying unconscious in the grasses while standing in front of her is none other than Fifteen with his hoodie off.
"Whoa… you're right." Ryoji comment with shock. "He does look like you."
"Welcome all of you… especially you, Lapis. So you decide to bring them along to show how weak you are." Fifteen said with an evil smirk.
"Shut up!" Lapis growl. "I am here now, let her go now!"
"You don't want to lose her again after what happened with the Neuroi invasion. If you let her go, you're afraid that she won't survived again and you don't have any purposes of continued on living." Fifteen said in a mocked tone.
"Lapis, don't listen to him. He is trying to psyche you out!" Kanade said.
"After all, I was weak. I couldn't prevent the destruction of my home. But I find out the real blame for my loss are those fools who start the war and those couldn't fight for themselves and continued argue like little bitches. Why they did to deserve my protection? Why couldn't they see the consequence of their action? I have enough of that!" Fifteen said as this caused Lapis start shaking.
"Why…?" Lapis asked.
"That is why I am going to destroy this world!" Fifteen exclaimed before transformed into his Rider form before brought his sword toward Lapis.
"AASHUIMU ENERGY ARMS!"
Lapis opened his eyes to find Kurokage-Shin with his sword blocking Fifteen's attack.
"Lapis, snapped out of it and fight him!" Kurokage-Shin shout.
"Do you really think that you can defeated me? I have the power of Dark Heisei Riders… you won't be able to defeated me." Fifteen said before unleashed a dark aura wave to send Kurokage-Shin and Lapis backward.
"RINGO!"
"BANANA!" "CHERRY ENERGY!"
"Henshin!"
Soon Fifteen turn around to see Idunn and Baron as the girls charging at him. Suddenly Fifteen's form began to change again.
"DARK DECADE ARMS! SEKAI NO HAKAISHA!"
He soon transformed into Dark Decade Arms before stop both girls' weapons with both hands as this causing them to looks surprised before throwing them back.
Lapis looks disbelief that his friends been outmatch by Fifteen in his Dark Decade Arms.
What do I do? He is too strong…Lapis thought to himself. If he can't defeat him, then how would anyone else defeated him?
"Now for you…" Fifteen said.
Baron muster up every strength she have to move despite being tired. "I won't let that happened." Baron said before charging toward Fifteen.
Fifteen brought up his sword to block the Sonic Arrow and looks at her. "You think that you could even harm me? Choosing to come here on your own despite your own injuries?"
"Why don't you shut up for once? Why can't you moved on?" Baron countered before continued slashing with her Sonic Arrow. But Fifteen didn't flinch at all.
Why Kanade would came even though she still haven't recover…? Lapis thought with shocked.
"Lapis, the only way to defeat a Shadow is accepting it." Idunn said.
"I can't, I am not strong enough… Not strong enough to defeated him." Lapis said, fearful.
"Even so, you want to protect Boss Lady because she was like your mother, right? Isn't that what you came here in the first place?" Kurokage-Shin asked, making Lapis stop.
When Lapis hears his mother figure got kidnapped, he rushed here without thinking about his fear.
"DARK DECADE SQUASH!"
Fifteen soon deliver double slashes at Baron's chest with dark energy slashes, causing the female Rider to stumble from the blow. But Fifteen didn't let up and struck again with a series of brutal slashes and send her upward without her Driver on her waist. Fifteen brought up his blade and points into the air where Kanade continued falling.
"Kanade!" Idunn shout.
Without thinking, Lapis transforms into his Overlord form briefly, tackling his dark counterpart away.
Kanade thought it was the end for her before seeing Lapis's face. Lapis caught her before she was falling toward the ground.
"Lapis…" Kanade said.
Lapis looks down at Kanade and nodded, "Even though I am still afraid, I guess that I couldn't ignore when someone else put their life at risk for me."
"Heh, this is rather familiar in my opinion." Kanade said while smirking at Lapis who looked quite confused.
"Oh? What do you mean by that?" Lapis asked.
"Oh you know the dashing white knight coming to save the great warrior princess from sacrificing herself for the greater good." Kanade continued while smile warmly and nostalgically as her tones got warmer. "And this time I get to see my Savior save me. So thank you my White Knight."
Lapis soon let Kanade down gentle on the ground before looking at Fifteen. "You're the inner me that I pretend never existed. You're the part I can't face. But you're still me, aren't you?"
Suddenly Fifteen felt jolt of pain as if he being affected by Lapis's words and small cracks appear in his armor as he start staggering back. "Cut the crap! So you're going to accept me, now?" he mocked before he fired several bullets at Lapis.
But the bullets didn't affect Lapis since there was a blue like orb surrounding him as Lapis continued moving toward his dark counterpart.
"But if you think that you're going to fight me, then I know there is one person who you couldn't even defeated." Fifteen said before vanished into the shadow.
Lapis tries to look for him before noticed a large shadow emerge in the background.
"Is this all of the resolve you can hold, Shamubishe?" a familiar voice asked.
Lapis had a hardened face as he and others see a white Overlord emerging in front of them.
"Rosyuo…" Lapis said.
"T-that is the previous Man of Beginning…" Idunn said with warily tone.
"Shamubishe, you should have stay in the seal forever and never be involved with the humans." Rosyuo warned as he walking toward Kanade, but Lapis stands in his way.
"I won't let you come near her." Lapis said with angry tone.
"So what? Are you going to defy me again? Abandoning your duty that result death of many?" Rosyuo said, making Lapis freeze.
"Don't listen to him, Lapis!" Kanade shout.
Lapis remember his time with Rosyuo before the battle of Golden Fruit changed them completely. Soon he remember some words with him before Lapis have an angry expression… and slashing Rosyuo's face with Joeshuimu.
"I will continued fighting because it's my duty." Lapis said with resolute. "I know my regret and I will carried on those sin from my past. Even if my life is staking… I will continued moving on without regrets. Even if you get in my way, then I will fight against you. Because… the real you, Rosyuo. Not the Man of Beginning. But my friend… live in my heart."
Soon Lapis then continued slashing Rosyuo with the Joeshuimu. Rosyuo tries to raise his barrier after the blade made contact. But Lapis didn't give up there as his eyes suddenly glowing green before there are cracks appear on the barrier and Lapis swung the massive blade once again.
Shatter sounds soon occur before Lapis slash the former Man of Beginning in the chest and sending him backward. This cause the white Overlord to hit the tree before reversal back to Fifteen.
"Impossible… what in the world are you?!" Fifteen demand, getting back up.
"I am a Kamen Rider! This will be My New Stage, remember that!" Lapis said with resolved. Lapis felt something burning in his jacket and takes out the Showa Rider Lockseed.
"ICHIGO!"
"Henshin!" Lapis shout before inserted the Showa Rider Lockseed into his Driver and pushed down the Cutting Blade once.
"SOIYA! ICHIGO ARMS! WAZA NO ICHIGO, LET'S GO!"
Soon the helmet of the first Kamen Rider dropped onto Lapis's shoulders and morphed him into his bodysuit before the Rider Helmet becomes armor.
Kamuro soon does the significant pose of Kamen Rider Ichigo.
He soon charges forward before sending a powerful punch to Fifteen's chest, forcing his counterpart to stagger back. Soon Kamuro continued throwing more punches at Fifteen to pushed him even further backward.
Fifteen soon regains his focused before he charges at him in a black blur, but Kamuro soon dodged the attacks and counter with a fist in the helmet then followed up with barrage of fists toward Fifteen.
Fifteen let out a cried of frustration before unleashed a dark aura to forced Kamuro away from him.
"This isn't going to be an enemy that can be taken down easily." Idunn said before getting out her Drive Lockseed.
(Play Kamen Rider Drive: Surprise Drive)
"DRIVE!"
"COME ON! DRIVE ARMS! HITTOPPASHIRIR IZA TOGETHER!"
Idunn's Drive Arms is soon equipped on her bodysuit as she got out her Handle-ken.
"It time to take you along for a Ride!" Idunn declared.
When Fifteen come charge at Kamuro, Idunn turns into a red blur as she slashes Kamuro's dark counterpart several times causing massive sparks flying off the chest armor. She soon pressed down her Cutting Blade twice.
"COME ON! TRIDORON! IYO, ITCHOKUSEN!"
Before Fifteen could even reacted, he got shoots by laser beams coming from a car. The car was red with black sides and a black padding like square pad on top of it with two white lines that went through the headlights that were shaped as rockets. It had a silver metal plate that came from its right leaving the left a little exposed. It had two extra wheels hanging up acting as the rear wings.
But it wasn't the end with Tridoron soon spin around while smacking Fifteen before he can even do anything.
"Whoa… nice ride…." Kurokage-Shin said in awe.
"Let's finish this the old fashion way." Idunn said to Kamuro who nodded.
"Lapis! Serena! We're counting on both of you!" Kanade said.
"Get going!" Kurokage-Shin shout.
"I am… not empty." Kamuro said before pushing down his Cutting Blade.
"SOIYA! ICHIGO SQUASH!"
"COME ON! HISSATSU! AH, FULL THROTTLE!"
Suddenly four large tires appeared around Fifteen as they spun and made contact with the Dark Rider.
Soon Tridoron began to move around the two Riders going faster and faster, until it was nothing but a red blur. The four tires around Fifteen sent him towards Kamuro and Idunn's direction, the two Riders began to jump into a blur. Once Fifteen was trapped in the center, he was being kicked by them appearing on all sides.
"You're finished!" Kamuro and Idunn shout at the same time as they kicked Fifteen before landing on their feet. Tridoron appeared next to them after Fifteen had exploded behind them.
(Song end)
Soon they saw Fifteen still standing, but he reversals back to his original form as Shadow Lapis looks at Kamuro.
"You're me. Even though I tried to deny you, I know you were telling the truth." Kamuro said.
"I see… a new path been choose. The path without the power of Golden Fruit." Shadow Lapis said before have a small smile on his face as his entire body turns into bright light which flowed into Kamuro's body. They merged back into one. Then the light, Kamuro's armor vanished and leaving Lapis there.
"How are you feeling?" Kanade asked.
"I am alright…" Lapis said. "I am sorry that you guys have to see me like this."
"Don't worry about it." Ryoji said.
Lapis soon approaches unconscious form of his mother figure and pick her up. "Anyway, I will get her back to the store before she wake up." Lapis said to them.
A path without the power of Golden Fruit… What could that be? Serena thought confused.
Ryoji hears his cellphone start rang and picks it up.
"Shinji? What's—" Ryoji said before his eyes widen. "Holy shit!"
"What's wrong?" Kanade asked.
"The base got attacked." Ryoji said, causing them to become shocked.
"W-who did this?" Serena and Lapis asked.
"Bujin Gaim." Ryoji said.
The Dark Rider Lockseed was lying on the grasses as it there almost forgotten. Soon it start giving off a dark purplish shiny glow before the Lockseed being picked up.
To be continued…
(Next time)
"I have one question to ask— but why do you consider yourself a sword?" Kaito questioned to Tsubasa.
"S-Serena, what are you doing here?" Maria questioned as she and Nastassjar look shock.
"Nee-san, this puppet play by Ver is going to end and now here….!" Serena said with a serious expression.
"MIKU!" Lapis screamed as the tower exploded.
