Chapter 80 The Exalt and the King
I don't own Kamen Rider Decade or any of the other worlds in this story.
After the Shepherds return back to Ylisstol they went to the castle to see Emmeryn.
"Then Regna Ferox will support Ylisse? Thank you, Chrom. I knew sending you was the right choice."Emmeryn smiled.
"You should see Ferox's warriors! Perhaps now our people will be safe from."Chrom then stopped when they saw Phila.
"Your Grace! M-milord! Forgive me, but I bring alarming news! "Phila said.
"Philia! Slow down, please! What's happened?"Emmeryn asked.
"Plegian soldiers have been sighted inside our southwest border! They attacked a village in Themis and abducted the Duke's daughter."Phila said surprising them.
"B-but that would be...Maribelle! Chrom, we have to do something!"Lissa said.
"There's more: King Gangrel of Plegia claims Lady Maribelle invaded HIS country. He demands we repay reparations for this "insult."Phila said.
"And we're to believe a dastard like the Mad King of Plegia? "Chrom said.
"It seems we found a corrupt king."Riku said.
"Peace, Chrom. We must keep our wits about us."Emmeryn said.
"We should put a sword in his gut and be done with it! The Mad King has been trying to provoke war with Ylisse at every step! He won't stop until he drags this whole continent to hell with him!"Chrom said.
"I agree with the prince, Your Grace. We must demonstrate to Plegia that such actions have consequences."Phila said.
"I understand your feelings, Chrom. Truly I do. But if we give him the war he wants, then we lose, no matter what the outcome. Our last conflict nearly ruined the halidom. It left Ylisseans homeless and starving. We cannot repeat that mistake. I will offer parley with King Gangrel."Emmeryn said.
"What, that's a stupid idea just letting yourself go to him."Riku said.
"Yes Emm, you cant."Lissa agreed with him.
"Please reconsider, Your Grace. He cannot be trusted to act in good faith! "Phila said.
"So we either choose to march to war or leave Lady Maribelle to die? No. I will not accept that."Emmeryn said making Riku sigh.
"Forgive me, Your Grace. I spoke out of turn. I know you will stand always by your own principles. Pray, allow the pegasus knights to accompany you, though. "Phila said.
"I'm going, too. Someone has to save you from your good intentions."Chrom said.
"And I want to be there for you AND Maribelle!"Lissa said.
"Well me and my group will go as well."Riku said.
"As you wish. Thank you all. Your strength will be mine."Emmeryn said.
Then the group were walking through the halls but then they stopped.
"Well then! Is everyone ready to go? It's a long march through the western mountains to the Plegian border."Chrom said.
They then saw a red haired wizard going up to them."Captain! I'm all packed! When do we leave?!"
"Ricken? How did you... Go back inside. You're no old enough for this mission."Chrom said
"But, Captain! You know my skill with magic! You know I can handle myself!"Ricken said.
"I'd feel safer with your magic here, protecting the garrison. All right? We're off, then. Be good."Chrom said and the left him alone.
""Be good"? Gods, how old does he think I am? ...Well, I'll show him just how good I can be!"Ricken said.
Later the group walked together to the border and they saw the mad king with a woman next to him on top of a rock formation.
"What's this, then? The exalt herself, in all her radiance? I fear I must shield my eyes! Bwa ha ha ha!"Gangrel said.
"King Gangrel, I've come for the truth of this unfortunate incident between us."Emmeryn said.
"The truth? I can give you the truth."the woman said.
"Perhaps milady might first share her name?"Emmeryn asked.
"You may call me Aversa."Aversa said.
"Very well, Aversa. Is Maribelle unharmed?"Emmeryn said.
"Who? Oh yes, that little blonde brat."Gangrel said.
They heard a scream and saw Maribelle being restrain by a brigand.
"Unhand me, you gutter-born troglodyte!"Maribelle said.
"Maribelle!"Lissa said.
" Lissa? Darling, is that you?"she asked her.
"This girl crossed the Plegian border without our consent. And what's more... She wounded the brave Plegian soldiers who sought only to escort her safely home."Aversa said.
"Really."Riku said making them look at him."I just big liar."
"What how dare you?!"Gangrel said.
"Riku."Emmeryn said.
"Sorry but I couldn't just keep quiet, you think I'm stupid or something, I faced the same type of people like you, the greedy king that acts like a child, you just planned all this to get something."Riku said.
"Enough, give me the Fire Emblem."Gangrel said.
"Ha, I got ya."Riku said.
"You idiot."Aversa said.
"The Emblem's power is meant for a single purpose, King Gangrel: to save the world and its people at their hour of most desperate need. Would you claim a more noble wish?"Emmeryn said.
"I want what every Plegian wants—a grisly end for every last Ylissean! What could be more noble than that?"Gangrel said.
"What?"Emmeryn said.
"He's a mad dog, don't even try to reason with him."Riku said.
"Yeah got that right."Ranma said.
"How about this, release her or."Riku said and then Red Eyes appears in front of the king and the woman shocking them."or my buddy will eat."then he roars.
"Riku really?"Robin said.
"They have a dragon, that should be mine."Gangrel said.
Brigand with Maribelle stands back in fear, then he runs away but then a missile charges towards him and hits him away making him crash into a wall, they then all saw a muscular man with a wolf's pelt and he was holding a folding chair.
"Wait who are you?"Maribelle asked.
"I am Beowulf."he crosses his arms."glad I was able to come, you saw how awesome I was there."
"Uh yeah."Maribelle was surprised.
Then they went to the group and Gangrel said:"you're net getting away."he then has archers shoot at them but then someone slices they're arrows in pieces, they then saw a little girl with green hair wearing a eyepatch landing on the ground.
"Hey Annie."Beowulf smiled seeing her.
"We need to go."Aversa said while she gives Riku one last look.
Gangrel grunted and they left.
"It seems you found a girl to save."Annie said looking at Maribelle.
"Yes, I thank you all."Maribelle said.
"Say I found this."Annie takes out a staff.
"A magic Staff?"Maribelle was confused.
"Yeah, you seem to be able to hold you're own so how about it."Annie offers it to her.
"But I'm not sure."Maribelle was a little nervous.
"Come on, it's not bad for a lady to learn to at least defend yourself."Annie said.
"That's Maribelle."Lissa said.
"Well okay."Maribelle takes it.
"Well I thank you both for saving Maribelle."Chrom said to them.
"Yes, you said your names are Beowulf and Annie."Emmeryn said.
"That's right, you should have seen us, we're a amazing team."Beowulf said.
"Yeah I saw that."Uzu said.
"So where are you from?"Riku asked.
"Well you might not believe us."Annie said.
"From another world?"Riku said surprising them.
"Wait how did you know?"Beowulf said.
"I've been there."Riku said.
"Well okay, yeah were from another world."Beowulf said.
"Really, well the Vaike is stunned."Vaike said.
"Yeah."Sully said.
"Well as a thanks I can offer you a place in my city."Emmeryn said.
"Hey thanks."Annie said.
They then saw a shadow appear on the floor making them look at it, then it became a red cloaked figure with his face covered up with only one eye showing."I am most grateful for you to gathering the stones for me."
"Who are you?"Riku said.
"I am Scorn, a Minion of the Great Leader, now hand over the stones.""Scorn said.
"To a minion of the Great leader over my dead body."Riku said.
"Make no mistake, they will be mine."Scorn said.
Riku and the riders took out they're drivers and Kiva-la went to Elizabeth's side.
ARMS!
LIGHT!
KAMEN RIDE!
"Henshin."they then all transformed.
DECADE!
LOCK ON! COME ON! LIGHT ARMS! GUARDIAN ANGEL!
ARMS!
They transformed with Kim being Ranger Slayer, they then shoot at him but then a barrier blocks they're attacks.
"That guy has a barrier."Arms said.
"Everyone, we need to surround him and try to weakn his barrier."Robin said and they nodded.
Everyone surround them and they start to attack him, Uzu was in his transformed state and hitting at the barrier while Sumia flies around with her pegasus, Scorn then shoots Shadow bolts making Chrom block them with his sword, Decade and Arms shoot at him from the sides while Virion shoots arrows along with Ranger Slayer, Scorn then shoots wind blades at them hitting many of them back, Vaike charges at him with his axe with Beowulf doing a charging attack, Maribelle and Lissa shoot magic at him and they saw Annie coming down at him with her blade, he then shoots hellfire magic but then a fireball hits the attack making it cancel surprising him and Annie hits the barrier with Kiva-la and Celeste hitting the barrier too.
It then starts cracks and it breaks, Scorn was mad and the riders were together.
"Let's finish this."Decade said.
FINAL ATTACK RIDE: D-D-D-DECADE!
ARMS MAXIMUM DRIVE!
WAKE UP!
COMEN ON! LIGHT SQUASH!
They then did they're rider kicks going towards Scorn and they hit him causing him to explode.
They then land next to the group and saw Scorn getting up."you won this round, but remember this riders, as long as those stones exist I will always go after them."he then vanishes.
"It seems we have someone else to fight."Decade looks at Ranger Slayer and Uzu."did any of you seen him before."
"Nope, I never saw that guy before."Uzu said.
"I think I seen him before."Ranger Slayer.
"Chrom."they then saw Ricken go up to them.
"Ricken!"they all said.
"What ar eyou doing here?"Chrom said.
"I came to help, it seems my spell was able to stop that guy."Ricken said.
"Well you have courage I'll give you that."Arms said.
"Well I guess I have no choice."Chrom sighs and Ricken smiles.
"Okay let's go back."Decade said and they all agreed.
They then went back towards Ylisse but Riku and his group knows this isn't the last time they will see of Gangrel and Aversa since they know he will make sure he has his stupid war.
Note:The group met Gangrel but the event changed since Beawulf and Annie from Skullgirls came and saved her, now to answer the reviews:"KarmaChaos5 Maribelle will be with someone else but I'll add othera of that type, Guest X I'll think about, Guest no those five ghoul girls will not be adopted daughters they already have a family and I have something planned for the future with the children of the riders with them, Guests-Z-01 that's a surprise and Guest it's interesting but I can't write that one."
