Author's Notes:
Hi everyone! Hope you enjoy the finale of Septem... Gosh, that was too long, I can't tell how tired I was while writing the finale… Now then let's fast forward into the Camelot Singularity. Where the heroes meet other Kamen Riders as well as having an audience with the Sun King Ozymandias.
As they stay, they toured Ozymandias' Kingdom with the girls having a heart-to-heart talk with Nitocris. With Mash professing his powerlessness to protect the people in the Holy Selection from Gawain's rampage. Only for Sayo to comfort her, Ozymandias then asked Ritsuka and Sougo if they will join him.
Their answer is of course no, which causes Ozymandias to be really pissed off. However, the latter was impressed at Ritsuka and Sougo with their courage in standing up to him. That he had the Caster who Alain assumed to be Xuanzang Sanzang/Genjo Sanzo and the other Kamen Riders to join them. with the Sun King telling them to show their resolve.

Quartzer 4
1273: Welcome to the Assassins' Village
3rd POV
In the middle of the desert outside Ozymandias' Palace, Holy Land
Year 1273
After the talk with the Pharaoh, the Heroes are now starting to walk… They then stopped with Mash being the last one. Sanzang then said, "Then, I'll be in your care from now on."
"Yes and we will be happy to assist you…" Tezuka smiled.
Ritsuka and Sougo nodded, Sanzang then looks at them and asks, "So, where do you plan to go now?"
This caused the heroes to sigh and facepalm, "Man… Why didn't we think of that!" Ryotaro and Shinji muttered.
"Well, You see… I didn't really have a destination in mind." As he said this the Kamen Riders fall to the ground in frustration. With Mai, Natsumi, the Artoria trio, Tsukuyomi and Sayo to sigh.
"Ritsuka-san…" Micchy muttered.
"You have a long way to go…" Kouta and Takatora said.
"Jeez, Ritsuka, come on!" Geiz and Banjou shouted.
"I thought you had one in mind…" Mash said.
Bedivere shook his head in disbelief as they stood, they heard someone shouting, "HEY!" They look and saw that it was Rushid and the refugees coming towards them, "HEY! WAIT FOR US!"
"Rushid!" Ritsuka exclaimed.
"You guys came back?" Sougo said.
"Everyone… But why?"
"Yeah… You should be safe there at Ozymandias' place…" Ryotaro said.
"I agree with Ryotaro. Do you guys have a death wish?" Momotaros asked.
"Our people have been massacred."
"Your wish to fight to the Lion King is the same as ours!"
This caused the heroes to be silent with Ritsuka saying, "It will be an arduous journey…"
"Yes and you'll most certainly die." Kouta agreed.
Rushid then pulled out a red pendant and held it out to Ritsuka, and Sougo, "Mom said that during times of peril, this pendant will help me."
Ritsuka then grabs it, he then looks at it with Tsukasa asks, "So… Did you notice something, Ritsuka?"
"Sempai!"
"Fujimaru-san! Look!" Sayo shouted. Ritsuka then noticed that the pendant was emitting a red spotlight with him and Sougo noticing that there are constellation like lines in the ground. They marveled at this with Sanzang saying.
"It's a map." They then look at her as she continues, "From what I see, it points towards the mountains in the northeast."
"But what's in the mountains?"
"Well, mom said that this pendant was given to her in a village of people who refuse to serve anyone."
"A third powerhouse? It's worth a shot."
"So, you mean that there's a third party that we can convince on joining us?" Tsukuyomi said.
Ritsuka then pulled out the knife as he looks at it, as they continue to walk the latter looks at the pendant, with Sougo also joining as he and Ritsuka look at each other and nodded as they and the others continue to walk into the mountains. At one point Bedivere almost tripped with Ritsuka, Sougo and Kouta pulling him up. Artoria smiling as she looks at this. As night falls Bedivere was now sitting with the aforementioned three also joining in. however unknown to them the Artoria trio are eavesdropping.
"Are you thinking about the Lion King?"
"Yeah you look sad when you think about her…"
"Yes…"
"What a horrible king." Ritsuka muttered.
"Hey Ritsuka!" Kouta protested.
"No, she was a great king. During her time, she built the White Castle of Camelot, fought against invaders, and brought peace to the people. Also, she kept a worthless Knight like me by her side. She cares and empathizes deeply with people, down to the tiniest details of their lives."
This statement caused Artoria and Artoria Alter to freeze up at this as they look at each other with Artoria Lily looking at them with worry, with Ritsuka asking, "A person like that, why would you fight with her?"
"That's exactly why… I needed to stop her." As the three left, He reminisces Artoria, "O King of Knights." He then has a flashback from one of his talks with Artoria with the latter smiling.
Artoria hearing muttered, "Bedivere…" She then started to cry as Artoria Alter and Artoria Lily trying to comfort her.

Kouta POV
In the Mountains, Holy Land
Year 1273
As the sun rises, the heroes now reached the village with the Ritsuka, Mash, Sougo, Kouta and the others smiling. As they continue to walk towards the village. With Mash saying, "It really exists, Sempai."
"Yeah, I can't believe that kids claim is true…" Tsukasa said.
"Yes."
As they walk Sanzang was now getting tired with her muttering, "I can't anymore, can you carry me on your back?" She then tried to get into Ritsuka's back with Alain facepalming.
"Jeez, is this really Genjo Sanzo?"
This caused them to chuckle as they heard arrows whistling towards them. they then look at the source and it was archers accompanied by two skull masked men one was wearing a dark cloak and the other was a woman with blue hair tied in a ponytail, "I thought something was off…"
"I agree, Cursed Arm. Looks like we got some visitors here."
"Yes, but to think there were Servants among them. This is not a place for you to be."
"HOLD ON!"
"This is a misunderstanding!" Sayo shouted.
The Man, Cursed Arm pointed at Bedivere. "That Knight over there is a Knight of the Round Table."
"He is not an ally of the Round Table!"
"Yeah if he is… Then we should have the Holy City Knights with us!" Shinji shouted.
"They speak the truth." Teddy agreed.
"Really?"
"Yes is there anyone here who can validate that statement? Now that you've seen our hidden Village, We can't leave you alive."
This caused the heroes to start getting ready, when one of the refugees shouting, "These people fought the Round Table for our sakes!"
"It's true!"
The two skull wearing men are still not believing it, "That act itself could have been a trap. To escape the Round Table is almost unbelievable."
"I couldn't agree more… They have many powerful members I'm sure he knows." The Woman pointed at Bedivere.
"Cursed Arm. Hundred Personas." A familiar voice called out, it was Arash and he was accompanied by four people one was a man with brown hair and wearing a red trench coat, the second was a woman with short bob cut black hair and is wearing a business suit, the third was a man with black hair and is wearing a black trench coat, and the last was a man with short brown hair and is wearing a brown t-shirt. This are Kaito Kumon, Yoko Minato, Ren Akiyama and Hajime Aikawa, "That child speak the truth."
"Yes, besides some of those people among them are our acquaintances." Kaito agreed.
"Yo! We meet again, Lucius."
"We've been waiting for you, Kazuraba."
"Kaito?" Kouta said.
"Minato?" Takatora followed.
"Hajime-san?" Kenzaki gasped.
"Ren?" Shinji widen.
Bedivere was also surprised with Arash replying, "That's a nice expression you have now."
A few hours later
Year 1273
They then convened at a house with Cursed Arm saying, "The Holy City and the Lion King. You fought them? You, who were once part of the Round Table."
"That was some nerve you got there." Hundred Personas said.
"I can't let that person remain as she is now."
"I see, you were disgusted at what she has done." Kaito said.
Ritsuka then asks, "Even if it's just for a while, would it be possible for us to stay here?"
"Yeah we've been walking for hours and some of us are tired." Sougo said agreeing to Ritsuka's statements
"Well…."
Arash and Hajime looks at the two with the former saying, "Cursed Arm, Hundred Personas. I can vouch for these people."
"Yes… I've known Kenzaki a long time. So, there nice."
"If Arash and Hajime says so…"
"Allow me to introduce myself again, Arash Kamangir. As you can see, I'm an Archer."
"Arash… Kamangir…"
"Arash the great Persian Hero…" Takeru marveled.
"I lied about my name back then. My apologies, my name is Bedivere."
"Ok, nice to meet you then, this is Cursed Arm Hassan, and this is Hassan of the Hundred Personas. He is the Village chief, and she is one of the defenders of the Western Village."
"Sorry about earlier…"
"I agree… Forgive our rudeness earlier, in this village, various types of people have gathered."
"They are people who refuse to serve both the Lion King and the Sun King."
Cursed Arm then stand up, "Please, get some rest after your tiring journey." He then left the house as Arash continued.
"Fortunately, there are still empty houses. Feel free to use them."
"Yes we promise that you will have a good day." Hundred Personas smiled.
"Seems like we're going to be together again, Kenzaki."
"Yeah, thank god to Sougo and Tsukasa as well as the King of Mages nullifying the rules of the Battle Fight. Even though we're still Jokers."
Meanwhile, we saw that Rushid was coming out of the house, when he was approached by Cursed Arm and Kaito, "Boy, you… What happened to your mother?"
"Yes, you seem a bit sad…"
"She was killed by the ones in the Holy City." He answered.
"I see…"
Kaito then pat Rushid's shoulder, "Stay strong kid, at this point on, the only thing you could do now is to great stronger."
Inside the house, Arash was now leaving when Ritsuka said, "Ah, one moment."
"Hmm" Arash looks back and saw Ritsuka pulling out the Knife and saying, "This…"
"Oh, did you bring it out of honor?"
"Well about that…" Sougo was about to say something when Ritsuka interjected.
"Back then, thanks for your help."
"How sincere, keep it. That's the knife I made for protection." He then throws the sheath to Ritsuka. He then patted the latter, Kouta and Sougo's shoulder, "Just for your information, Those who don't work don't eat."
"Ehhh!"
Hours Later
Year 1273
Later, the Heroes are now fishing at a pond as we hear Romani talk to Tsukasa, the Ghost Riders and Sougo while Ritsuka, Mash and the others are fishing, "Regarding Arash Kamangir, he is a legendary Persian Hero. It is said that an arrow shot cost of his life ended a war that was raging for 60 years."
"That is one decent way of putting it Romani." Olga said.
"I see…"
"That's quiet an absurd feat for an archer."
As Bedivere looks on Arash said, "That arm, only a few swings left, huh?" This caused Bedivere to be surprised, "This is called Clairvoyance it lets me see all sorts of things, that injury it seems that you haven't told the others as well." That statement seemingly cuts deep to Bedivere, "The burden that you carry is too heavy. What an exemplary sense of Chivalry."
"I… left that child's mother to her fate, I am a disgrace to all Knights. Unlike you, I don't have the resolve for self-sacrifice. Chivalry is…"
"Self-sacrifice is not something to be idolized, why do you know my name in the first place? It's because our lives are connected. Stop shouldering your burdens alone, will you?" As they talk they saw Ritsuka's group has caught a fish with Sougo and the Kamen Riders trying their best to help.
"Looks like they need help! Let's go!" They then walk towards them as they started eating with Ritsuka, Sougo, Kouta, Shinji, Kenzaki and Sougo making bread as Tsukasa, the Artoria trio and the other boys watch in amusement. With the girls marveling in amazement. As Bedivere looks on his right arm Arash called out, "Bedivere!" Bedivere look on Arash as the latter throws a food to him.
"It's falafel made out of chickpeas, it's good." Bedivere then sits down, as they continued to mind their own business. Evening comes as some of the heroes looks up at the sky and was now dozing off.
Cursed Arm was now talking with Arash, Hundred Personas, Kaito Kumon, Hajime Aikawa, Ren Akiyama and Takatora Kureshima with Arash saying, "The Lion King is planning something in the Holy City."
"Yeah…. I agree this has something to do with all her forces not being present." Takatora said as he and Ren agreed.
"We think so too." Hajime interjected with Kaito nodding.
"You sure about this?" Hundred Personas widen her eyes.
"Yes, perhaps the Round Table inactivity is due to the very same reason."
"These guys appearing now, maybe they're the ones prophesied by fate."
"You mean Kazuraba and the others?" Kaito asked.
"A person's fate is under the governance of the one with the all-encompassing light. I am painfully aware of that fact." Cursed Arm said as he grips the red pendant.
"That crap again… As if I'm going to let my fate be at the hands with someone else." Kaito said.
"Tomorrow, can you bring them to my place?"
"Sure."
"Ok…"
The next day
Year 1273
The next morning the heroes gathered around at the top of the village, with Cursed Arm saying, "We have all made our decisions. Fujimaru-dono, Tokiwa-dono, Kazuraba-dono. We would like to fight the Holy City with you."
"Really?" Sougo asked.
"Yes, at this rate we will eventually be wiped out by the Lion King's army. Your appearance must be fate extending a helping hand. Please accept our humble request. I beg you."
"I agree with Cursed Arm too…" Hundred Personas agreed. As they bowed at the three with the others gawking in surprised.
This caused the three to be flustered, "Stop it please! We are the ones seeking help! Let's beat the Lion King, together!" Ritsuka shouted.
"Yeah, you don't have to bow…" Kouta exclaimed.
"Geez, Kouta-san I'm feeling a little jealous of you again." Micchy muttered.
"Come on… Even though I want to be King. This is really embarrassing." Sougo remarked.
"Cursed Arm, do you have a plan in mind?" Bedivere asked
"Yes…"
"Tell us then…" Takatora, Ren, and Sakuya implored.
"Well then… This Shrine of Azrael is our village's holy ground. Furthermore, in the depths of this Holy Shrine. Our ancestor Hassan-i-Sabbah the old man of the temple sleeps."
"The first Assassin… He really exist." Sanzang muttered.
"And by ancestor… You mean your leader." Takeru said.
"Yes, your correct." Hundred Personas said.
"At first, he refused to meddle in Human affairs. That is why we refrained from using his power. However, since you've appeared to us, we've strengthened our resolve. This must be a sign from the heavens."
" CURSED ARM! HUNDRED PERSONAS! KAITO! HAJIME!"
They then saw Arash, Sakuya, Ren, Miho, Minato, Takatora, Woz, and Kitaoka running towards them, "The Western Village was attacked!"
"What!" Hundred Personas exclaimed.
"What happened to Serenity?"
"Yes! What happened to her?!"
"She was taken to their fort." Arash said.
"And no doubt they are going to interrogate her for information." Kitaoka agreed.
"This is all my fault if only I…."
"Hey, stop it, there's nothing you could have done against those knights." Miho said as she and the girls comforted her.
"Serenity?" Ritsuka muttered.
"Hassan of Serenity. The Assassin who assisted Hundred Personas at protecting the West Village. We must find a way to rescue her!"
"We'll go! Please entrust this to us!" Ritsuka declared.
"Yeah! We can't just leave your friend to torture and die. And besides this is now our problem too." Sougo agreed.
"Arash, Minato, Kitaoka, Takatora, and Woz I leave the village to you and the others."
"I agree, and besides these Knights are seriously pissing me off." Kaito said.
"Right.."
"Got it!"
"We'll do our best."
"Me and hundred Personas will serve as their guides."
"Yes, and to save Serenity too…"
"Well, then safe travels my Demon King."
