World of Riders: The third aspect of Similitudo is Adlucinatio. It allows the user to play a fake reality in the target's mind. Both people involved must be stationary for the duration of the illusion, which moves in real time. The user had full knowledge and control of everything but the target in the illusion. The illusion only breaks when the target figures out it's an illusion, something moves either participants, the target dies in the illusion, or the user decides to end the illusion.

Onyx exits the portal in the arena in Umbra's base, the one where he and the other test subjects would duel.

"This looks familiar." Onyx says to himself.

"It should." A voice calls.

Onyx turns to see Night on the other side of the arena.

"You've lost to me enough times in this arena." Night states.

"I was a kid then." Onyx says, "I'm stronger now."

"True!" Night responds, "But strength had nothing to do with it. It was always the mental aspect of combat where I had the edge."

This is definitely the real Night.

His attitude is a perfect match.

Onyx growls and furrows his brow.

"Let's see what you can do now." Night taunts, "Beat me and you get the final key and your life back."

"You were always against me, Night, because you couldn't have this!" Onyx says as activates level one of his Verto.

"It should've been mine!" Night argues, "Maybe in this world it can be."

Night activates level one of his Verto.

"Then let's settle this." Onyx says, "Once and for all! This is the true power of the Riders, it can't be beaten!"

"But you can!" Night states.

The two warriors each create a long sword. Night strikes at Onyx, but is blocked. Onyx slashes back at the same time as Night. The two warriors strike each other's blades again. Night raises his sword above his head and slashes downwards, causing a clash between the two brothers. Night breaks the clash and strikes at Onyx's right. Onyx blocks, but his sword is knocked out of balance. Onyx recovers and swings back at Night, who blocks. Night raises his blade and swings. Onyx blocks but is forced backwards.

"You're gonna pay for that!" Onyx threatens.

"There's that famous temper again." Night says.

"I see where this is going." Onyx states, "This trial is about controlling my emotions. You always loved to make me mad."

"Because it was so easy." Night says.

"Because you wanted what I had!" Onyx corrects, "That why you had to be better than me at everything! It was everyone could see that the power was going to someone who didn't deserve it!"

"Maybe I thought I would be a better Rider," Night admits, "but I wasn't the only one."

"You think Artemis believed it too!?" Onyx yells.

The two warriors slash at one another, blades clashing. Night's swings knocks Onyx off balance. Onyx quickly recovers and dodges Night's downward swing, taking the opportunity to attack himself. Night blocks and both warriors strike again. Night slashes downwards and Onyx jumps over Night, front flipping in the air. Onyx backs up to gain distance as Night charges. Night slashes at Onyx, who blocks but the force of the swing send Onyx flying into the air. Onyx backflips and skids to a stop.

"It wasn't mother I was talking about," Night states, "it was you. And it appears you still believe it."

Night jumps into the air and brings his blade down, sending Onyx sprawling across the arena. Onyx slowly rises to his feet.

Great!

I can use my semblance.

But I don't have aura!?

"Aero warned me you'd betray me." Onyx admits, "He said it was inevitable!"

Onyx lunges at Night and they clash.

"You've undermined me my whole life!" Night yells.

Night begins to take control.

"Blocked me at every turn!" Night says,

Night breaks the clash and immediately enters another.

"You took the power!" Night says, "But I learned to channel that anger, the rage. You must learn to do the same!"

Night breaks the clash and begins to relentlessly slash at Onyx. Onyx dodges and blocks when he can. Night jumps in the air and slashes at Onyx. Onyx blocks but is forced backwards. Onyx gets pushed to the end of the arena, where he is kicked out of bounds.

Night jumps down in front of Onyx and holds a black skull key towards Onyx.

"I'm sorry." Night says.

Onyx slowly opens the portal with the key and walks through.

Light walks through an abandoned warehouse. He has a bounty to bring back a fugitive named Star. Light tracked the enrgy signature of Star's cargo to the warehouse.

"Looking for someone, Bounty Hunter!?" A voice call.

Light turns to see Star. He is still dressed in a prison uniform, but he has his weapons, wrist mounted sub machine guns. Star has his weapons aimed at Light. Star places his fingers on the triggers and slowly pulls. Before he can shoot, Light throws a shuriken into one of the barrel. Star yanks the shuriken out and throws it. Light catches his weapon. Star lunges at Light, trying to use his larger build to overpower him. Light ducks and lets Star pass over him and crash into a wall.

Light dashes to Star as he gets up.

"You're gonna regret the day you were born!" Star threatens.

Star lunges at Light, but Light dematerializes and phases through him.

"What!?" Star yells, "Right... I forgot that little trick of your's."

Star looks up to see Light perched on the ceiling, railgun aimed at his face. Light fires and drops down. Light then handcuffs Star.

"Nice job, kid." A voice calls, "But I'll take it from here."

Light turns to see Noctis.

"Noctis." Light says.

"Gotta hand it to ya, Light, you've got a gift." Noctis complements, "I mean, when the bounty went out for 'ol Star here, I figured it was gonna be a tough hunt. But you..."

Light interrupts by jumping into the air. Noctis fires a net from his gauntlet and catches nothing. Light kicks at Noctis on the way down and Noctis jumps over Light.

Star wakes up from the shot and looks around.

"What the...!? Railgun!? Handcuffs!? Come back here and fight like a man!" Star yells.

Light and Noctis get into a stance and lunge at one another. Light actives his wrist mounted chainsaw blade on his left gauntlet and swings at Light. Light ducks.

"Hey!" Star calls, "You call this a fight!? I'll starve before someone wins! And I just ate."

"Will you keep quiet!?" Light and Noctis say together.

Noctis smacks Light with his hook then swings his saw. Light dashes backwards to avoid it then dodges another saw strike. Light dodges a third strike then dashes to the right. Noctis fires his hook as a grapnel towards Light, who dodges. Noctis reals himself to the hook then turns to Light. Light fires his railgun and Noctis jumps to dodge the explosion. Light launches his hook again to pull himself away from Light's shots. When Light reaches the hook he looks down.

"Light." Noctis calls, "Notice anything odd?"

Light stops his railgun charge and looks around.

"Where's Star?" Light asks.

"What kind of handcuffs you packing?" Noctis asks, "He shouldn't even be able to move!"

Noctis and Light leave the warehouse and see Star throw a grenade into the bullhead Light used to get there. Star then jumps onto a motorcycle and rides off.

"Well, it's been a blast, but I gotta bolt." Noctis says as he boards his own airship, "That's the richest bounty in history getting away."

Noctis doesn't notice Light board the airship behind him.
