(Element HQ, Akira's Point of View)

"That would be all, father." I have done reporting the whole thing to him, as Father just nods and thinking about the matter.

"Well done, my son. And don't worry about Akane-chan and Aqua-chan. I already have the medic team standby, just in case if your friends were in serious damage. Luckily for us, it was all in a minor shock and they should be alright in an hour or two." Father assures it, which I can only give a sigh of relief.

"Thank goodness…"

He stood up from where he seats and take a look at the scenery of the city, which it is sunset at this time while his hands are at the back. "My boy, you really do care for your twin sister…"

"Yes, father. I was worried for a moment that if it wasn't for Melissa-sama's quick action on the Infected, she might get herself killed and at that time, I felt helpless because I was surrounded by its minions…" I said while looking down, as the mood began to get gloomy. Even though that she is the first born twin and I was born 3 minutes later, but usually, I am the one that acted like an older brother as she was always act like a little child. Even so, I enjoy her company as there are times where she was there for me, like that time where father was being taken as hostage and I can still remember her hand held tightly, as if she was determined to save him at all cost.

Without notice, I felt like a hand was resting on my shoulder, causing me to return back to reality as Father looks at me with a kind look on his face.

"It has truly been six months since that day, isn't it?"

I could just simply nod in agreement as I knew exactly what he meant by those words coming out from his mouth. It was the day that our mother died in an unknown sickness, even before we discovered about the E-Scanners.

"It has been that long, Father. And Akane-nee-sama manages to get over her grief over it ever since meeting with Storm-nii-sama and everyone else. She has truly returned back to her old days, with that bright smile of hers that I haven't seen for quite a long time." I replied back as the room become silence for a moment.

"And you have done it well, too, even if you needed your friends' assistance of doing so."

"Yes, I thank them for that…"

"Please… continue to fulfill your mother's last wish, my son."

"I will, Father. Even if it cost me my life, I will do my best…" I replied back with a determined tone, which Father just nods in agreement before I leave his room. "I guess I should check out on Akane-nee-sama on how she is doing right now…"

Chapter 25: The Moon that Embraces the Sun, Solunar

At the medical room, near the laboratory, I was sitting next to Akane-nee-sama's bed, which she was peacefully sleeping at this time. I can even hear her mumbling about Storm-nii-sama, which leaves me sweat dropped for a bit. While Aqua-nee-sama was resting here as well, the other Riders decided to return back home and continue on with their daily lives.

"Akane-nee-sama…" I muttered while looking at her bracelet on her left arm, remembering the past…

*flashback*

(Insert song: Personal History from Yu-Gi-Oh! 5Ds OST)

I can still remember that day. Back then, when Mother was alive, we were one big happy family. Her sincere smile was enough to make our day as bright as the sun, even though there are times where things are gloomy. Akane-nee-sama always enjoyed her company and there are times where she and Mother sleep together on the bed because Akane-nee-sama was afraid of thunderstorms at that time. Whenever we got home from our studies, the first person to greet us happily was Mother and she always teaching us when we have our homework, regardless of time. In Akane-nee-sama's eyes, Mother was her role model and she said that when she grows up, she wanted to be as beautiful as her.

But then, one day, as we returned back to our mansion, one of the maids told us that Mother was fainted during one of her morning walk and was on her bed at this time. Fear has entered our mind as we immediately dropped our bags and rushed towards her side, as Father was there and a doctor was checking Mother's condition. She was sweating bullets and her breath was irregular as doctor was managing to calm her down after giving a shot. After Father and the doctor discussed about something, both of us didn't leave her side for one minute, as Akane-nee-sama laid next to her to keep her company, which Mother just smiles even during her sleep. I can hear some murmurs from outside that Mother is not going to last long due to her weak constitution and the disease that she has is an incurable one and it has reaching its critical state. And I know that would only lead one thing… Mother's time is running out.

For the next three days, both of us skipped school, in order to be with Mother, which she enjoys it. She may not be able to move around a lot and there are times where she coughs out blood, we were always there to take care of her. We didn't leave her side for one moment and always helping out in her daily basis. While I took care of bring Mother to the garden and other places by a wheelchair, Akane-nee-sama took care of her bathing and she even joins in to keep her company.

One day, Mother was bedridden and her time was almost up. I could still remember how much Akane-nee-sama and I shed our tears so much for what Mother has done for us.

"Mother, please, stay with us!" Akane-nee-sama said while tears still flow out from her eyes, as she continues to sob. As Mother's right hand placed at Akane-nee-sama's left cheek to see her face as she continue to speak in a gentle tone.

"Akane-chan… don't cry. You know that… young ladies should never shed tears over her beautiful face… especially a beautiful daughter of mine." Mother said as she wiped her tears as Mother slowly shifts her attention to me while holding my hand weakly, which I did the same as well. "Akira-chan… please… be good and take care… of her smile for me… please?"

"Mother, I will! Please, don't go!" I continue to sob while wiping my tears with her hand, but even in her condition, she tried her best to give us her warm smile.

"I'm glad… to have such wonderful children… like you two…" and that was the last words Mother said before she lets out her last breath with a smile on her face. As both of us cries onto her body, Father couldn't do anything but to only be there for us as he tried his best to comfort us.

Since the day after Mother's funeral, Akane-nee-sama locked herself in her room and most of the maids tried to tell her to open the door as most of us worried sick of her condition. Even if we managed to come in, none of them are managed to calm her down. It is then I walk in and tried to calm her down.

"Akane-nee-sama…"

"GO AWAY!"

She was furious at that time but I tried to keep my ground as I handed out something which might surprise her for a bit. At first, when she saws the bracelet with her name on it, she simply slaps it away from my hand and continues to shout of getting me out from her room. I couldn't do anything at that time as I slowly walk towards the door. It is then I paused for a bit and told her something about it.

"No matter what happens, I will continue to take care of you and bring that smiles of yours back, just like how Mother does so. The bracelet that you have slapped away was a gift, handmade by Mother. She wanted to give us on our birthday, as I wore this sweater that was made from her love. I hope that… you will cherish it…" that was what I said before I went out from her room. I manage to take a peek and saw Akane-nee-sama kneels down and took it. It is then she cries loudly while holding it close to her chest.

*end of flashback*

(End of Insert Song)

She was sullen for a month, followed by the incident of Father's kidnapping until the day we met the rest of Elemental Riders. Am I glad to meet them? Yes, because they have treated us well, even though that Akane-nee-sama and Aqua-nee-sama always quarrel at random times, but still, they are always took care of each other and all is left is to defeat this… Dark Void and his minions and this city will be in peace once again.

Just when peace and quiet eventually taken over the room, a siren was heard, which surprises me and of course—

(Insert song: Carnival from Hana Kimi Soundtrack)

"TRUFFLES!" Akane-nee-sama arise from her bed, as one of her open arm accidentally hits me in the face, causing me to fall off from my seat. I must say, she must have one of those random moments whenever she's asleep or waken up all of the sudden. "Mou~, what's with the noise?!"

"Sounds like trouble…" I said while standing up from where I fell and continue to rub my cheek. Eventually, both of us heads out towards the laboratory and Professor Kagaku was doing a few pirouette spins towards our direction. I have to ask… did he learn ballet in the past?

"Riders~! It seems like we have found another Infected around the area of the Shopping Mall~!"

"Already? But Aqua-nee-sama is still unconscious!" I tried to negotiate with him but Akane-nee-sama pointed out something at the screen.

"Ne, ne… what's with the black and white blinking thingy?" she asked.

"And it's heading towards the direction of the Infected…" I added.

"I dunno~! Not even the Element System was able to pick that up one of the kind signals before! How, how intriguing! It must have been a new element that we haven't discovered before~!" he continued to reply and before we knew it, the Infected was no longer at the screen, and so does that mysterious spot.

"Could it be the work of Dark Void's minions?" I tried to ask.

"Are you kidding me?! Our system couldn't trace it yet!" the professor strongly denied it, which indicates the system hasn't fully upgraded, up to the point of detecting our enemy's assistants. Just… who or WHAT is actually helping us?

(At the same time, VOID HQ, Miyuki's Point of View)

(Insert song: Kinji Rareta Kioku from Black Cat OST)

"Ara~, it seems like one of our Infected has been defeated once again~." I said while looking at the screen.

"Yeah? It must have been the works of those Elemental Riders! What else could it be?!" Kyuu replied as he crosses his arms and look to the side. "If it wasn't for those guys, I could still watch more people suffered because of it!"

"We have to pull back, all due to Dark Void-sama's orders, Kyuu…" Siesta reminded him about it. As I have stated before, the orders from Dark Void-sama are absolute and there's nothing we can do about it. It is then she continued, "…but still, come to think of it, two of them are knocked out and if it's four of them, shouldn't it make the work of the Infected easier?"

"Yeah, I remember! Those guys have used so much energy on the last battle; it should've been an easy picking for the Infected to finish them off!" Kyuu replied back.

"Miyuki, any report regarding with this matter?" Kurai-kun have asked me, as I made my way towards him and sitting on his lap, bringing in the files that he is needed, only to have me moved away from him as he began reading it. Geez, doesn't he understand how I feel right now?

"Well, Annet-chan told me there's a single rider who manages to defeat it with ease and when she tried to find the source of the identity of the rider, she told me that it… 'disappears' from her sense."

"What? 'Disappear'?" Kurai-kun was surprised about it.

"Intriguing…" it is then the appearance of Dark Void-sama appears as the ones who are sitting bows to him and it sits onto the couch where Kurai-kun was previously seated. "A single rider who manages to defeat it and disappears within the trace? This is something else…"

"Could it be one of the Masters that we are looking for, Dark Void-sama?" Kurai-kun asked him.

"No… because its presence is like no other…" he said before shifting his attention to me. "White Wolf, what is the level of Yami no Kaze?"

I took out the machine indicator and taps a few button on it, until it shows the result of Annet-chan regarding her armor status. "At this point, she has reached level 5. At this point, she should've unlocked one of her levels, Arashi. In this pace, she might have a hard time getting to her maximum level of reaching her final form~."

"Keep me updated regarding this matter. For now, find the info about this… Rider and continue for the search of the last Dark Master of Earth…" he said before it disappears in thin air.

"Saa~, let's get to work now…"

(End of Insert song)

(The next day, Melissa's Point of View)

As I was sitting at my place while waiting for the next class to start, I let out a big sigh, which is loud enough to gain Kazuma-san's attention and eventually followed up by others.

"Hey, Melissa, what's wrong?" he asked me.

"No, it's nothing big. Just some minor setback earlier this morning…"

"Huh? What makes you say that? I already know that your place is the nearest to get here, since I've always bought my meal there. So, usually there aren't any problems." Storm-san replied while he's taking a bite on his egg sandwich.

"Well, actually… something funny happened just now…"

"Really? Please do tell, Melissa-sama!" Akane-chan was eager to hear the story, which leaves me sweatdrop for a moment.

"Well, it goes something like this…"

*earlier morning*

"Uncle, I'm heading out now!"

"Ah, have a good day, Melissa-chan. Don't forget about helping out later!"

As I made my way out, ready to head to the university, as soon as I open the door… I can see a red carpet spreads out on the ground, accompanied by red petals on it and the path leads all the way to the white limousine and it seems like Matthew was waiting for me.

(Insert song: Fuji nee no Theme from Fate/Stay Night OST)

"Ah, Melissa, my love! I knew I came right on time to pick you up!" he said with a charming smile of his, as always.

"Um… how did you—"

"I knew you would say that!" Tiffany was right behind me as she pushes me towards the direction of the limo. "I knew because some of the guys told me that you live here! Gosh, I didn't know that you stay in such a place!"

"He is my uncle, after all… and will you stop pushing me, Tiffany?" I warned her in a polite tone, but she continues to do so.

"Oh, come on! Let's just ride together to the university entrance, just like old times in our high school!" she said as eventually, I entered inside the limousine and Matthew told the driver to go towards our destination… which isn't far away.

"Um, I'm not being rude or anything, but I prefer to walk there."

"Nonsense, my love! There's no way I'll let my girlfriend tired herself!" Matthew said to me. Oh my, didn't I told him before that we're just friends? I wonder what happens if I grab hold of a Gaia Staff at this time? While we were entering the main entrance of the university, he held a tray which consists of a high class American breakfast delicacy and offered me some.

"It's okay. I already have toast for breakfast." I decline his offer in a polite tone as Tiffany sits next to me and discuss about something.

"Say, what's so special about that guy in karate gi anyways? Other than his muscles, he sure ain't a smart type, for sure!" Tiffany asked me, which she refers to Kazuma-san.

"To be honest, you may be right, but he is still my friend when I first return back here. He's been helping me out from time to time whenever I needed help and plus, he's very kind as well." I told her about his good points, which Tiffany doesn't seem like she's happy about it.

"Seems like there's a rival who is compete for your love, I see…" Matthew ponders for a bit, which leaves me confused. As the limo eventually stops right in front of the entrance of the academy, the three of us got out from it and the limo drives away from the scene.

"Well now, I guess we should be on our way then, I need to finish some of the documents at the office before joining you along at the class… and I'm hoping that we will eat lunch together at lunchtime…" Matthew said as he took my hand and gave it a kiss, which makes the early birds' girls swoon away by his charm, while I only look at him with a confused look.

*end of flashback*

(End of Insert Song)

(Kazuma's Point of View)

"He did what?!" I was surprised to see him and somehow, I kinda worked up, all because of that sly kid at the front row seat. At this time, he was just minding his own business and some of the girls are admiring him for his pretty face of his… until he turns around and waves at Melissa like how those fancy guys does it before he glares at me with that mischievous smirk on his face. Sure, I may have different class schedule and spends most of my time in that dojo, but that doesn't mean he can do whatever he wants. Geez, why does all of those rich brats can be a stuck up at times?!

"Kazuma-san?" I heard someone calling my name and it turns out to be Melissa-chan, who seems worried about me. "What's wrong?"

"It's nothing…" I said before the usual teacher for today's class, Ryouga Satoshi, enters in… with a smile on his face.

"Everyone, may I have your attention, please?" he asked us as all eyes on him right now. "There it seems to be another foreign student transferring onto our class as well, just like Matthew and Tiffany here."

As soon as he finishes it, the class starts murmuring as the girls of this class were expecting another pretty boy to show up, while the men were hoping to have a hot babe in here, just as a beauty like Melissa-chan here and as for me? I was just hoping this one isn't some pretty boy again.

…and it isn't. Thank goodness for that!

When the new student enters in and it was a guy by the way, most of the guys were disappointed in an instant while the girls were just look at him in a dreamy look on their faces. They might think that if they couldn't get Matthew, they could at least get this new guy.

At closer inspection, this guy has short brown hair which the length of it was above his ear all around it, have those signature blue eyes of those typical American people has, he wears an orange short sleeve shirt under those dark blue flannel shirt, blue jeans and black sneakers with white lines at the sides of his shoes.

(Insert song: Onakasuita from To Aru Majutsu No Index OST)

"It's nice to meet you all! My name is John Gerard but everyone calls me J.G. and I like Kamen Riders! I hope we could get along together, sempais!" he said as he bows 90 degrees and not to mention how fluent his Japanese really is. As I looked to the side, there's one question that I thought about it myself… where did my rival go? Isn't he sitting between me and Akira-chan? When I look at the front, I can see him standing right in front of the new guy and offers him a handshake. Seriously, how did he get there in the first place? Even the lecturer was surprise by his sudden speed…

"You like Kamen Riders? I like 'em too!" Storm said as both of them shares the same smile and shakes their hands happily, leaving everyone in the class in a sweatdrop as Aqua-chan face palming on his actions.

"Great… another nutbar…" she muttered.

Something tells me that things are going to be a little bit hectic today…

(End of Insert Song)

(Meanwhile in the museum, Kyuu's Point of View)

(Insert song: White Jacket from Black Cat OST)

"Tch… why do you drag me to this boring place anyways? You know that I don't like watching some fossils and stuff! I only wanted to get some fresh blood to eat! At least, bring me to nightclub or something like that!" I complaint while this Siesta woman just kept walking forward without stopping as she enjoys her time looking around these old pots and pictures that was made from so called famous artists. Who is willing to pay such amount of money for those simple drawings? What a rip-off…

"You really don't know much about living in a fancy life, aren't you?" Siesta said as she continues to walk in a slow pace while looking around.

"If we're just going to waste some time, only for these fossils, then I'm out of here!" I told her before she turns to a corner and looks at what's at the end of the hall.

"This is why we're here…" she said as she continues to walk towards it, the armor of the samurai suits… what the hell is she thinking here?!

When I followed her walking towards that direction, she looks at the info board that was right in front of it and confirms it. "This is why we're here…"

"Oda Nobunaga?" I asked after looking at the dummy that looks just like him, wearing that armor and the description on it. "What's that supposed to mean?"

When she was getting close to the armor, there's that security guy went towards us with that nightstick on his hand.

"Hey, don't touch the armor! Can't you read the sign here? You can't cross the line the museum has marked on!" that chubby guy said while holding the rope to indicate our limits of getting close to it.

(End of Insert Song)

"Gee, that's too bad…" she said in a seductive tone as her charms began to leak out from her and that guy easily fallen for it. Thank god there's no nearby security camera here, don't wanna let 'em knew what exactly is going on in here…

"Mr. Bodyguard, mind standing next to the armor for me, please?" she easily persuades him as he just move there on his own, which triggers the alarm of the building. At that time, she threw the Dark Card at his chest, letting it absorbed into him before his whole body is covered in black mist.

"You might be thinking what I'm doing, yes?" she said, as I just listen to it as the mist began to occupy the armor.

"It seems like this human's desire to become someone as strong as this samurai, despite being having a figure as fat as a pig…" she noted that matter, which doesn't even make some sense, but still…

"Dunno your plan, though, but I bet this one might look awesome!" I said with full of excitement.

What comes next is just pure awesomeness! The mist has fully absorbed in that dummy and it began its first step towards us, wielding that long Naginata of his. Even his armor has fully changed! I mean, now that he has horns on his helmet, followed by its whole body is in black due to its element and its face is covered in scary mask, wearing those armors with extra spikes and most importantly is those two swords on his right waist.

"I've obtained this upgrade and improvised Dark Card that Miyuki-sama has given us. She said that it has started off with Level 2 and only requires a minor damage or some meal from the people and it'll easily get to Level 3. But, it's quite sad though… this isn't the element that we are looking for…" she said with a sigh before the Darkness Samurai are now right in front of us, waiting for our command.

"Go wreck this city and finish those Riders off if you see them!" I gave the command to him and he just casually walk towards the exit… but not before he spreads his black mist towards the nearby armors and making them alive.

"Man, I can't wait to see this carnage!"

(J.G's Point of View)

(Insert song: Mata mata, Tadaima~ from Kore Wa Zombie Desu Ka? OST)

After the class was over, I decided to have my lunch with Storm-sempai and his friends and both of us are having a good time chatting over the topic that both of us knew best, Kamen Riders.

"Really?! You like Kabuto too?!" Storm-sempai exclaimed about the matter, which I replied back to him with a big smile on my face.

"Of course, sempai! Not only the Heisei era, even the Neo-Heisei era as well!"

While we were chatting happily, I can see the others were just looking at us and Aqua-sempai was taking her meal quietly. I guess she's must be in a bad mood.

"My, my… you two sure are very close, ne?" Melissa-sempai said in her polite tone while speaking in this country's language.

"Heh, if my rival is happy, so am I!" Ryuu-sempai said with his mighty laugh of his, which he seems to be proud of it.

"We may be strangers at first, but if we have something in common and talk about it, bonds are easily formed!" I said those words with confidence before shifting my attention to the twins. "And I didn't know that Akira-sempai and Akane-sempai are able to attend here at such a young age! I'm impressed!"

"Ah… thanks…" Akira-sempai said while rubbing the back of his head in slight embarrassed about it.

"And please, you don't have to call us sempai, J.G.-sama. It's actually felt awkward for someone who is young like me being called sempai from someone as old as you…" Akane-sempai added.

"Besides, you are in the same second semester as us anyways…" Aqua-sempai said before she took a bite on her salad.

"Nah, it's okay. Besides, I already like calling you all my sempais." I added before I heard a ringtone and it was Aqua-sempai's phone. And somehow, Storm-sempai was looking at the other way for no reason before Aqua-sempai stands up and looks at me with a serious face. Even the rest are doing the same thing as well and Storm-sempai leaves without saying a word right after that.

(End of Insert song)

"Sorry, J.G.-san, but seems like we have something to discuss…" Aqua-sempai said.

"Like what?" I asked in confusion before everyone took their leave. I wonder what's up with them all of the sudden?

*BEEP! BEEP!*

Eh? When I took out my iOS and flips up its cover, there's a red dot on the screen which indicates the location of a kaijin attacking the city… and it's located near the museum.

"Man, I gotta get out there and help those peoples out!" I immediately took my bag and dashes off towards the door with an apple on my mouth. I even bump the guy who was carrying a bouquet of roses in his hands and it fell from his hands.

"Hey, watch where you're going! This roses is for Melissa!" the girl shouted at me.

"Sorry!" I quickly apologized with a bow before making my way out. I bet both of them must be surprised to know that Melissa-sempai has already left the cafeteria…

(Normal Point of View)

"This is Veronica live from the Elemental News Network and at this time, there are Samurai Infected are attacking around the area of the museum. One of them were believed to be the revived Oda Nobunaga, who seeks vengeance, in that armor he is wearing at this time and—" before Veronica was being pulled by Dave to the side, which surprises her for a moment. "Hey, what's the big idea?!"

"Why don't you look at that?" he said while pointing down to show there was a Yaichi arrow at the ground, penetrating the thick road, which she gulps down for a minute before the minion of the samurai landed on the ground strongly, wielding a katana on its hand before trying to slash down its sword at them. Both of them are managed to escape towards their van and Dave immediately starts the engine running, tries to drive away by tackling them while on their way out. One of the minions was destroyed after that one hit from their van, even though the van took more damage.

"Heh, it's a good thing I've recorded we tackled though one of them!" Veronica said with a happy tone. "Now, the whole city knows that we can go against them!"

"Yeah, but next time, NEVER told me again to ram through one of them… my baby took most of the damage, y'know?!" Dave said in a sad tone after his front van was crumpled up and the back of it is now mostly covered in holes and arrows.

"Oh, you worried too much…" Veronica said before they took off to their station.

As the two have already made their way out and the whole place is clear, the Riders appear at the opposite road and stop their bike in the place. All six of them mounted off from their bikes, having a standoff with the Level 3 Darkness Samurai and its 3 minions as all of them have their E-Scanners ready to boot.

"Elemental Riders…" the Infected muttered in hoarse words.

"Yo! Sorry to keep you waiting!" I said with a big smile on my face as I moved the belt from my left side to the middle.

= READY! =

"I don't know about you guys, but I think we should send them back to where they came from!" Kazuma said while loosen up his wrists as Melissa twirls around her Gaia Staff before grabbing it in an instant.

"You got that right… let's not wait any longer and do what we do best!" Melissa said in excitement while under the influence of Gaia.

"Extermination time!" both the twins said in unison as all six of them are getting into the stance.

"Ikuze!"

"Henshin!"

= SCANNED, TRANSFORM! =

= SLOT IN, TRANSFORM! =

= TRANSFORM! =

With the cast of the earth covers Melissa like a cocoon, all of them are in transformation until the earth 'cast off' from her and the riders have completed their transformation.

= KAZE! =

= MIZU! =

= RYUU! =

= GAIA! =

= YAMI! =

= RAITO! =

"Saa, arashi ga kuru no… junbi wa ii?" Kaze said with his trademark words while doing his three-finger pointing at the Infected.

(Insert song: Red Zone from Black Cat OST)

"Alright! Let's do this!" Mizu shouted as both sides began to run towards the middle and the battle begins.

= SCANNED, MAGNUM! =

Mizu immediately took hold of her Magnum and release rapid shots onto the target, the Archer minion. Though the attack might hit it, it doesn't seem to be fazed about it as it retaliates back by shooting its Yaichi Arrow at her back. Mizu took note of this and she tried her best to stop it from hitting her but not all of it she manages to stop it. Most of the time, she ended up rolling to the side while shooting at the enemy when she sees the chance. In the end, she rolls up to hide behind the abandoned vehicle and took this chance to regroup.

"Okay, I know that Infected is Level 3 and its minions are Level 2, but the attacks that I made onto its head and chest were easily regenerated within seconds… does this one has the Auto Recovery mode or something?" she ponders for a bit before realized one of the arrows are managed to get through the vehicle but missed her by a few inches. "You have got to be kidding me!" she said before she began to move out of the way as more of the arrows are piercing though the car.

Meanwhile, the twins are taking care of the Dual Wielder minion as it manages to parry both of the attacks coming from them. Raito sweeps her spear onto the minion's feet while Yami swings his bow-sword onto the target's chest but it manages to parry both of the attacks and they continue to swing along their weapons. Clashes of steels and sparks can be seen and heard as they continue to attack and counter with everything they have.

"Raito-nee-sama, maybe we should shift our combo!" Yami told her while delivering a vertical slash to the minion.

"Seems like it!" Raito replied as both of their weapons are ended up clashing at the middle with the minion's dual swords.

It immediately opens up its swords to throw off the twins out but instead, both of them sees the opportunity as both of them delivered a back kick right to its chest, causing it to be skids back a few meters back before the twins gets back into their fighting stance.

"Heh, I bet that guy didn't see it coming, huh?" Raito said with a smile behind her mask.

"Yeah, let's keep this pressure up on it!" Yami told her before both of them continue it on with their attacks.

Meanwhile, Kaze was fighting hand-to-weapon against an infantry minion who wields a shield and a short sword. He took a quick step back from the slash that was swing madly by the minion.

"Time to put it to motion now!" Storm muttered under his breath as he slots in his cartridge onto his Speedster slot to allow the activation of it.

= SPEEDSTER, ON! =

Getting onto a stance, he immediately took his first step and went blur in an instant. The minion kept on guard with its weapons in hand but that was all for naught as he was being attack in fast speed in different directions, even up to his shield dented up in an instant. With one heavy kick from Kaze, it manages to break through the shield and the kick penetrates to the chest, making the minion tumbles for a few times and there was a hole on it.

= SPEEDSTER, OFF! =

The Speedster timed out as he took back the cartridge and slots it back onto his E-Scanner.

= CHARGING~ =

"Well, that should take care of that…" Kaze said to himself, until he realized the minion stood up from where it falls and the hole that was on his chest was immediately regenerated. "What?! Again?!" Kaze was surprised before the minion runs towards him with his sword in hand as Kaze began to run forward at it.

= EARTH ATTACK FORM =

Multiple earth spikes conjured from the ground as the Samurai Infected stabs it onto the ground and the attack that was aiming at him stop in an instant, making Gaia surprised for a bit.

"What the hell was that?! There's no way that thing knew he could stop the attack with one precise stab!" Gaia was annoyed before Ryuu rushes forward with a hammer on his hand, keeping the offense up.

"Grr, just how tough is this thing anyways?!" Ryuu said as he kept swinging his hammer, until he was disarmed easily by the Samurai Infected. Gaia noticed that he was in danger as she immediately spins it to choose her next Earth Form and stabbed it to the ground.

= EARTH SUMMON FORM =

An earth snake was conjured and raised from the ground, causing the Infected to miss its swing onto the defenseless Ryuu. As the earth snake raises its head high enough, Ryuu immediately jumps high while pressing the middle and then both of the left and right buttons to commence his Compressed Form.

= MAGMA FORM! =

As soon as the earth snake slams its body down onto the Infected, it easily slashes away with its Naginata, before Magma descends with a karate chop, to force the Infected to put up its defense and the chop was strong enough to split the wooden handle into two and Gaia immediately thrusts her staff forward, pushing the enemy back.

(End of Insert Song)

Unknown to the Elemental Riders, there is one individual who have witness all of it from the beginning of the transformation up to the battle at the corner. And that person is—

(J.G.'s Point of View)

I couldn't believe my eyes on what I've just seen just now… all this time, the six sempais that I knew are actually the Elemental Riders that I've read from my book? About the real Kamen Riders appeared in Japan is actually true? I thought that I would meet some riders that I knew from TV like Accel, W or even OOO, but to think there are actually REAL Riders in action?! Man, this just pumps me up!

= NATURAL DISASTER! =

= SCANNED, NATURAL DISASTER! =

= DETECT, NATURAL DISASTER! =

I heard the call and it seems like they are going for the kill. I took a peek once again and to see all of them are in the stance for the finishing move and all six of them are doing it at the same time!

"Take this!" I see that Mizu-sempai's handgun charges up to the max before she unleashes the shot towards the minion and it eventually hits the target and blows it to pieces.

"Femme Fatale!" both Raito-sempai and Yami-sempai shouted in unison as Yami-sempai shoots out his charged attack towards the dual wielder minion, which it tried its best to stop it but Raito-sempai was already prepared at its back for that final slash as she does the 'V' cut onto it, causing the lines of the attack appears and it exploded after that.

"Tornado Edge!" Kaze-sempai leaps forward and delivers a jumping back kick while entering those circles of cyclones, causing him to appear right in front of the minion within seconds. The kick was strong enough to finish it off as it explodes into dust.

"Let's wrap it up!" Ryuu-sempai shouted happily while he tries to wrap towards the Samurai Infected but for some reason, it manages to duck from his whip before surprising them with his sudden boost of speed as he manages to deliver damages toward both the unexpected Ryuu-sempai and Gaia-sempai with his twin katanas. The last slash that was made was enough to force them to crush towards the abandoned car, which is right in front of me and the Samurai Infected immediately takes care of the rest of the Elemental Riders with ease and ended up making them crushes towards the other abandoned cars nearby.

"Just… what happened?" Kaze-sempai said as he grips onto his chest armor in pain as smokes are clearly seen from their armors.

"I think I know… how…" Yami-sempai added while he leans against the car for supporting himself up.

"Really?" Raito-sempai asked in confusion while gripping her shoulder in pain.

"Yeah…when we finished off those minions of his, it seems like he'll return back to full power and manages to counter the attacks that he sees with a quick swift motion…" Yami-sempai added as his hand is shaking for a bit while holding his bow-sword.

"Well, look on the upside, at least we don't have to deal with those minions…" Ryuu-sempai added before black mists seeps out from its body and went to the empty armors, causing 3 minions to revive itself and took arms. "Or, maybe not…"

Damn, I just couldn't stand here any longer and watching my Sempais getting attack by that thing! It is time where I stepped forward and held my belt onto my right hand while facing the Samurai Infected and its minions.

"J.G.-kun?" Kaze-sempai asked in confusion.

"What are you doing here?! It's dangerous, for crying out loud!" Mizu-sempai warned me.

"Don't worry… I know what I'm doing…" I said in confidence before wrapping my Celestial Scanner around my waist, which is similar on how Den-O does it and rotating the blue pointer of my right belt points, the Lunar, towards down while my yellow pointer, the Solar, point upwards, revealing a slot for placing my cartridge as I getting into a stance for my henshin pose.

"Henshin!" I shouted as I slotted in the cartridge and the Lunar immediately points back upwards to commence my transformation.

= TRANSFORM! =

At this time, the hologram of the sun appears on my left and the moon appears on my right as both of those holograms crushes towards me and began forming my armor right in front of them.

As soon as my transformation is complete, I bet my sempais would have that surprised look on their faces. My helmet's appearance is like a yellow sun with grey visors that resembles KR Birth. On my dark blue bodysuit, the front plating of my orange armor resembles KR Birth as the back of my armor has a booster pack that is similar to Faiz Blaster. I had gold bracers on my wrist and dark blue greaves with white linings around it. Around my waist, there's a sword inside the sheath, as it is my primary weapon for the fight.

"Eh?! A Rider?!" the twin sempais were shocked on what were they seeing.

"Oi, Mizu! You know who is this guy?" Gaia-sempai asked her, which she can't even tell what's going on.

"I've never seen another like you before! I've only heard about Elemental Riders but not this one!" Mizu-sempai explains.

"Another rider? That looks… AWESOME!" Kaze-sempai cheered before holding his stomach in pain from those slashes.

"Yeah, even I'm impressed about it, but those guys ain't fooling around…" Ryuu-Sempai pointed out as those Infected and its minions slowly making its way forward.

"Don't worry, I know what I'm doing…" I said before I took a step forward and introducing myself them while taking out my weapon and pointed it at that Infected.

"I am the moon that embraces the sun, Solunar!"

(Inserts song: KR Birth's Battle Theme)

"Is that a sword that he's holding?" Kaze-sempai asked.

"Looks like a chainsaw to me…" Ryuu-sempai added.

"No… both of them are right, but this is my Chain Blade…" I told them before I rushed towards them with my weapon in hand.

I started off with dodging some of the arrows that Archer minions are shooting at me by using my Chain Sword before starts slashing onto the Dual Sword minion. Even though he could block my attack, that doesn't mean it can hold it off forever! My Chain Blade's motor began to activate, causing my sword acting like a portable chainsaw as the next swing literally cuts its swords in half before giving it a downward slash to cut it in half. Instinct took over as I immediately swings my sword to the back, to see there's that gladiator minion is sneaking up on me, only to have its shield and sword cut in half before I deliver one of my few slashes onto it to release some of the tension. It is then I quickly shifted my attention to that Archer minion as I leap high and manage to split its Yaichi arrow in half before do the cross slash, making the three minions destroyed in an instant.

"Whoa, he's fast!" Raito-sempai compliments me.

"And it's a good thing that he took down those 3 minions while they aren't in full power just yet…" Mizu-sempai took noted on that matter before I got a slash from that Infected before I was being pushed to the back from its next attack. Fortunately, I was able to parry that one.

"Man, this one means business! I better change my form while the sun is still up…" I said it casually before rotating the Solar Pointer on my left and rotate it all the way around in a clockwise until it hits the Lunar Pointer at the end to initiate my Compressed Form.

= SOLAR FORM! =

An announcement was made as the sun hologram appears and entered inside of me, changing my whole armor into dark blue that replaces yellow platings earlier. I can feel the energy form the sun giving it out to me as my chain blade is now engulfed in flame.

"Eh? That's his Compressed Form?" I heard that Kaze-sempai was the one who asked it.

"Don't ask me… I don't know about this Rider's appearance…" Mizu-sempai added as I made my way towards the Samurai Infected.

It wields both Katanas on both hands and began to start slashing onto me as I retaliate back with my flaming swords. Even if he manages to parry it, the flames kept spurting onto his helmet as it began to melt due to the intense heat from my blade. Eventually, its sword is melted down and I manage to slash him a couple of times before giving him an uppercut slash, causing it to stumble back a few paces.

"Let's see if he likes my own 'minions' getting onto his face!" I said before pointing my blade downwards and aiming it at my palm. When I stabbed it, instead of the blade going through it, it splits up into multiple number of spinning flaming disks, hovering in the sky as I pointed my hilt onto the designated target and those disks did their job. Randomly hitting the target while distracting it at the same time was all it takes to weaken him from his intense speed.

"Well, time to wrap it up!" I said while pointing my Solar Pointer downwards to take out my cartridge and slots it into my hilt.

= CELESTIAL BREAK! =

"Ikuze!" I shouted as my whole body glows radiantly, causing the Infected and the Elemental Riders cover their eyes from this intense light. One by one, those spinning disks began to return back to the hilt in order to form back as my sword.

"Solar Strike!" I declared while doing a cross-slash onto the enemy before it explodes and reveals a man in a security costume rolls out and the Dark Card burns to cinder, thus completing my job.

(End of Insert song)

After the battle was over, all of my sempais are running towards me as some of them are impressed, while some are still confused about this matter.

"Man, you're so cool!" Kaze-sempai praised me, which leaves me blushes slightly while rubbing the back of my head.

"Thanks, sempai! I know that I may not be as strong as you guys, but still, if it wasn't for you all to weaken the enemy first, I think I might be overwhelmed by it…" I said it humbly.

"But I have to say… your finishing move is something else!" Raito-sempai added.

"Yeah, seems like he's got the skills…" Gaia-sempai said while looking at my armor.

"Not to mention that belt is very different from ours…" Yami-sempai added while taking a look on my Celestial Scanner.

But Mizu-sempai just look at me before she asks the question that might surprised me. "Are you somehow related to Yami no Kaze?"

I was a bit quiet from it, causing the sempais to be suspicious about the matter. It is then they were surprised to hear me shouted happily.

"You guys got your own Dark Rider as well?! That's so wickedly cool!" I said it with excitement before Mizu-sempai face palming about the matter.

"Great… another nutbar…" she mutters.

*Normal Point of View*

"It seems like there's another new rider appeared in this place…" Siesta said while she and Kyuu are looking at them from the nearby window.

"Solunar, huh? This could be interesting!" Kyuu said with excitement before Miyuki enters in and surprised him. "Where the heck did you come from?!"

"Ara~ra~, don't be surprised about it, Kyuu-kun!" Miyuki said it childishly before looking at the new rider. "Something tells me this Rider might cause us a little bit of trouble… but either way, this would make the whole battle much more interesting…" she said with a smile on her face.
