And a quick succession of backflips was seen from Ziden, dodging a massive burst of gunfire from the maw of the Egg-O-Legs watching bullet holes staining the ground around them.
" Heh, seems like as goofy as this machine was at first, I truly made it into the masterpiece it was made to be! What kind of fool puts a machine that fires out rings into it!? What a dumb idea, now bullets! That is gonna take out those foolish humans!" Grants was damn happy in his machine, that familiar barrier trapping them in this battlefield
Gentaro didn't know what was going on since this guy was not with Shocker But he knew as a Rider, he could not let this guy threaten people. " Well, then that just means I'm just gonna have to stop ya, old fella!" And out comes his driver, clunky with four components to it before slapping it down onto his thigh.
Once the belt locked it around him, he soon hit the switches on the driver and held onto the Lever.
" 3!" Ziden and Yukari looked over to him with a confused look.
"2!" Kanako and Eirin looked at him as well, stunned as well.
" 1!" Grants stared at the man as he heard the countdown.
" Henshin!" And a strong tug on the Lever soon caused a ring to form around him, Compressed air shooting up as his hand reached for the heavens, the rings soon expanding upwards and downwards, causing the air to blast on the ground soon transforming him into the Cosmic Hero, Kamen Rider Fourze!
" Hehe, Kamen Rider Fourze! Lets settle this Man to Man!" And into the fray he went, quickly throwing a punch right at the leg of the mecha, surprisingly causing it to stagger from the impact, the Rider was ready to battle.
" wHAT!? tHIS IS A RIDER!? THEN YOU MUST DIE!" Grants was not happy at all, ready to battle and rage out.
Unknown X ~ Unfound Adventure ( Touhou Hisoutensoku)
Ziden was quick to draw his blade, no need to transform just yet, planning to stick to the Crimson Edge while soon looking at Kanako, seeing her messing with Ex-Sphere on her right shoulder. " Even you got one?"
" OF course you fool, all our spell cards were sealed and still are, we have to fight to take back the power we once had but now, I don't need nonlethal techniques." Kanako simply clenched her hands together, no mercy was here now. " I want to make sure Grants stays down to not make another weapon of destruction. That is all."
" Heh." Ziden simply spins his blade before swinging it in wild arcs, red blade firing out and smashing into various parts of the machine, causing explosions along the barrier coating it, the machine quick to leap high into the air and slam back down, sending out shockwaves to stun the heroes, Fourze using the jet on his back to fly over the impact and soon swinging his fist down onto the face of the mecha, causing it to stumble hard and smash into the Earth.
" Huh, looks like despite how goofy that attire is, the power it has is pretty good." Eirin stated before leaping up into the air, notching up an arrow and soon firing it down onto the leg of the mecha, causing an explosion of colors. " But that barrier is stopping us from majorly damaging the machine, this will be a hard battle."
Fourze was certainly keeping up the good fight, throwing punches and kicks at the machine's legs, causing it to lift them and slam them across his chest, shooting out sparks and sending sparks rolling along the ground. The Egg-O-Legs opened its mouth and unleashed a spray of bullets, dotting the ground in bullet holes as Ziden ran along the ground to avoid the shots, Fourze getting right up and pulling out a switch from his driver and soon slotting in a new switch and soon spinning it.
" Gatling on!" As soon as those words were spoken on his leg, a gatling gun formed on it and he soon slammed it down, a barrage of bullets soon firing out and buffeting the machine with a ton of bullets.
" Whoa, that Rider looks goofy but he has some cool stuff!" Ziden said before spotting Yukari slamming down into the ground, opening a cone shaped void directly under the Egg-o-LEgs, unleashing what was a spike trap of various trash items like stop lights and sign posts to smash into the underbelly and send it sky high into the air.
" What!?" Grants was caught off guard, quickly activating the rockets lining the underbelly of the mech before looking up to see Kanako holding up one of her pillars and soon swinging it like a bat, causing the machine to smash down into the Earth, causing an explosion of earth and rocks, no doubt waking up the town.
One the machine got up, much to their chagrin, it began to open up ports along its legs and began firing out massive amounts of rockets, the air filled with the roaring sound of the rockets going off. Each of them proceeded to blast hard into the machine and the explosions even caused it to explode high into the air.
Kanako wasted no time here, firing those pillars of hers into that underbelly and sending it sky high without even a moment of hesitiating, hearing the cracking of metal and stone before seeing it crash down into the waters behind the sundial. Ziden and Fourze were quick to run up and see the machine sinking down into the waters below.
" That was way too easy...I get that feeling that we're about to have a Phase 2." Ziden said before Fourze saw a bunch of bubbles rising up out of the water.
" Whoa, watch out!" And Fourze made sure to tackle Ziden down, sharp legs shooting out from the water and flying out, clinging onto the sundial and digging into the space substance as those legs were glowing, draining the large amounts of energy coming off of the item.
" You fools! It seems this mode is just not enough then! Allow me to show you the other form this machine has!" Soon the unholy whirring of machine gears could be heard, followed bu the odd sight of the body of the machine glowing and white lines traveling the back of the beast.
Ziden and Fourze were quick to move to the front of the machine and watched a humanoid shape coming out of the spider's body and soon having a human torso above the head of the beast but that human, it was very familiar. Designed akin to Metal Sonic, this sent chills down Ziden's spine, the monster that devastated Sonic's world, it was now looking at him, a soulless copy made to be a second form to the Egg-o-Legs. Those glowing red eyes staring at the heroes before flicking its wrist and turning it into an arm cannon.
" Now die humans!" A bright red blast of energy shot out from the arm cannon as Ziden and Fourze leapt out of the way, a group of people were leaving their homes to watch this battle.
Boss Battle 1 ( Super Smash Bros Brawl)
That machine hooked right up to the Sundial and began to unleash pure molten lead down onto the arena, prompting the ground fighters to leap and dodging the attacks.
" Damn! This battle had to get harder for us, didn't?" Ziden asked before stamping down hard, his blade soon wrapped up in an odd light before swinging his blade hard as a spiriling light came free. " Rainbow SPark!" The impacting light soon shoots out and blasts along the body of the machine, it using its arm to mitigate some of the damage.
Kanako took no time to waste as she slammed that pillar down onto him like a hammer, smashing him against the crystal, soon causing the machine to fall down onto the ground, fully charged with energy as the Turbo Mecha Sonic like body soon formed an arm cannon and fired out a large beam.
And it was coming right for Ziden as he quickly used his blade to block it and soon the beam spreads out and reflects off of his blade and tore apart the ground, causing massive explosions to rock the area in the barrier. " Goddammit! Why did this guy have to get a troublesome Kappa!" Ziden said before feeling himself being pushed back and very close to the edge of a area wth water underneath.
The power behind the beam was far too much and soon knocked him down into the pit, only to see nothing but a void of eyes instead of the cold water as he spots Yukari falling down next to him. " You owe me, now spin and stab downwards."Ziden quickly moved and aimed his blade downwards, the blade being coated in a weird purple energy as he came out of a gap and slammed his blade down into the upperback of the machine, seeing his blade cleave through and pierce of the metals in the machine.
The machine quickly began to spark and smoke before launching Ziden off of him and soon aiming his laser cannon directly at Kanako. " Hmph, focusing ontaking me out now since I refused to let you be a monster?"
" Of course! You must die in order for me to be truly free! And then, I will join the army and make an endless supply of my weapons for them to enjoy." Grants proudly declared before firing the laser. Only there was a flash of light between them as Fourze had ended up changing forms into a yellow like state, armed with a sword arcing with yellow lightning as he repelled the laser into the air.
" Hehe! Looks like this State is enough for you buddy!" ANd soon more pressurized air came out of the jet on the back of his outfit,. letting him lift up into the air and swing that blade of lightning down along the machine, causing a massive explosion of sparks and smoke, causing the machine to skid along the ground before unleashing a storm of missiles into the air.
Ziden was quick on the ball for this one, quickly leaping into the air and soon unleashing a massive tornado of cuts and swings that created a literal surge of wind around them and the explosions soon jettisoned upwards and soon the machine was now on its last legs, stumbling backwards as Fourze landed.
" Time to finish you off!" Fourze was seen moving the plug into a different Socket and soon pressing his Elec switch into bottom of the sword and watched as the sword began to glow.
" Limit Break!"
The machine tried its best to stop this, combining its arms to fire a massive laser, only for it to miss and hit the barrier, bouncing off into many lasers that rained down onto the area, causing large explosions around Fourze who simply avoided them all as he soon leapt into the air, gripping onto his sword extra tight. " Rider Ten Billion Volt Break!" A powerful slash along the torso as he flew by the machine, soon landing on the ground behind the machine.
" Impossible! My war machine!" Sparks began to explode out from the machine before it fell over, erupting into shattering explosions as Grants was taken over by flames and smoke.
Ziden lets out a soft sigh as he looked at the wreckage of parts. " It looked like him...but thank god it was not him." ziden sheathes his sword as he goes in. " Well, we should capture this guy and get to-" Ziden was a bit too slow on that as giant pillars slammed down around him and Fourze, trapping them in place.
" What the- Hey! What are you doing!?" Seems Fourze did not like this, even as he detransformed. Even Yukari was pinned down by them but she did not seem so bothered as the War Goddess made her way to Grants, who had gotten his way out of the wreckage, only to see Kanako before him, eyes cold and focused.
" W-wait, hold on Lady Kanako, please forgive me! I-I'll devote all of my weapons to you, please don't do this!" Grants begged for his life, akin to what a rat would do when corned like they are now
"...No, there will be no capturing, no letting you rest in jail, to let you live is a grave mistake." Kanako simply closed her eyes as Ziden and Fourze watched in horror as a pillar soon came down from the heavens and smashed down into Grants, his screams lighting up the night as Ziden simply looked away. " You live and you'd have done something I could never forgive myself for. That is why, I had to do this."
The dead silence of the battle loomed over them as it was shattered by the massive shaking of the area around them, flashing lights soon formed around them. The pillars holding them down soon vanished as Ziden knew what this was.
" DIMENSIONAL QUAKE!" Ominous music began to ring out from this event taking p-lace as the area continued to violently shake.
Parting of the Way ( Super Robot Wars V)
The Area began to heavily distort and twist as if time and space itself was tearing apart, the flashes of lights only getting worse and worse. " Everyone get down and anchor to the ground now!" Yukari yelled out as everyone but a few panicking people complied.
" Whoa! Space Earthquake Kita!" Gentaro of course was amazed by this as the lights hit their Zenith and soon everything was covered in a pure white.
Moments later, everything died down to the point where everyone, minus a few unimportant people were not here any more, nothing seemed to be gone or stolen as Ziden and the others soon got to their feet, seeing the wreckage that contained Grants' body was warped away somewhere. Kanako simply gazing at the ground before standing.
Ziden looked to the skies, looking around to see what exactly was going on. Nothing seemed to be changed at all so far. What was going on?
Meanwhile in space...
Aboard the Zeta Dreadnaught was Nitori was shaken up by the Space Quake that even hit up here but everything seemed to be fine as she dusted herself off. Before noticing a door that was not there before. Her curious nature tempted her to open it but she was too slow, as the door was opened by someone on the other side and a woman with light purple hair peeked through and spotted the Kappa.
"Oh um, hello." The woman seeemed somewhat shy but Nitori well, she couldn't handle new humans all that well so her first instinct was to run and contact Ziden and co on the surface. Seems the ship was linked somewhere but where?
Elsewhere...
In the depths of space, the wreckage of the Egg-o-Legs began to violently shake before parts began to reform, metallic pieces and cords coming together as if to reform a body, and it did, the blue nightmare of ages past that was only stopped by Mario and Sonic. That glowing red eye formed as he soon turned into that buzzsaw like spinball and flew off to depths unknown.
Trivia:
1. Egg-O-Legs was based off the spider machine from the Archie Comics run, albiet the machine here is far less dark.
2. Super Mario Bros Z fans will recognize that blue menace
3. Gentaro is a man who seeks the friendship of everyone who is a hero.
