As always, I had a lot of fun writing last chapter! I'm super excited as you can expect because I can't wait to have more fun with Omiko, and conclude the fight with Hikari Naito! Not to mention start up the big arcs we're planning, and for the first time unveil some of our original designs for the characters!

I don't wait to any longer, so I'll just say the disclaimer!

As always, neither of us maniacs own any of the series we're using to have a blast in this story, but we sure wish we did as that meant we could retire early and enjoy our company together for all it's worth.

Bold for Senketsu and Zodiarts speech.

Italic for thoughts, and flashbacks.

Bold and Italic for belt voices.

Holding out her Hikari-tracker or Magical Pixie Tracker Maiko Anti-Life Fiber Series 003 - a name she had to admit she really should cut down at some point -, the trap mistress pointed it in random directions, waiting for it to ping so she could lead her friends towards their opponent. Sadly, this process had been ongoing for at least ten minutes, and Omiko's patience had long been running on empty.

Grabbing her creepy friend by her bulbous haired head, Omiko shook her about in irritation. "Have you found that pink tart yet or is that thing more useless than you in a fight?!"

Dropping Maiko down after shaking her like a particularly engaging snow globe, she stood forward. As the former cunning strategist's red eyes rolled around in their sockets until she could focus on her radar, seemingly uncaring that she had been grabbed, the group made sure to keep their distance from the blonde girl. Maiko's eyes were much too glued onto the radar before it pinged in the direction of the former Tennis Club Building, now the Magical Girl Club Supreme HQ of Love and Justice Against Icky Things.

"EUREKA! I THINK I'VE GOT IT!" She declared proudly as she held up the pinging radar.

"We could've gone here in the first place!" Ryūko snapped, "It's like we waste time looking for these guys, like we can't find some nut without a crystal ball or a delusional banshee without science!"

"Don't get so hotheaded, Ryūko. After all, what if she had been hunting someone else?"

"Like what?" the drifter asked in a sour mood.

Suddenly, the entire tennis courtyard that used to be the pigtailed blonde's reign burst into a cloud of pink smoke. Once the brightly colored fumes started to dissipate along an insane amount of sparkles there was none other than a pink T-rex looking apologetic. It was doing its best to twiddle its claws like they were thumbs with its head down.

"Sorry…" Dina said, bowing to them, "I'm still a One-Star that has to follow orders so… don't hold anything back!" the pink dino struck a fighting pose… only to be smashed on the head by Death Racket, which propelled the top half of the dino mecha to fly off while a shocked Dina could only gape, "Eh?! Is my big fight scene over so soon?!"

As she said that, her collar was grabbed by an angry Omiko, the petite brunette sweated a lot, "Where's that shrieking pink sparkling harpy?" she said in a cold tone, looking down at the girl so coldly that Dina's nervous sweat was freezing.

"I-I don't know! Magical Girl… Uh… what was… Anyway, one of the girls followed you and found out you were trying to track her, so…" after squeaking her reply in fear with tiny tears on the corners of her eyes, she showed a hair lock that was pink.

Maiko's radar pointed to it, and Omiko never felt so mad in her life, "That fu-"

There was another explosion of pink after Omiko let go of Dina, who fell on the button that caused the explosions in the first place, censoring her angry swearing storm. Dina was grabbed by her collar and dragged behind Omiko, crying small and comical tears while the Neo Rider Club could only pity her. The tennis player narrowed her eyes at Maiko, who shrugged.

"So she had a plan, not like I can't-" and that's all she got before she was dragged along Dina by the back of her collar, both brunettes' feet sliding on the ground while they remained too afraid to do anything against Omiko but shriek, "Hey, give me a few minutes, I can figure out where she is!"

Gentaro hummed, "I see…"

"The fact she's about to shank a bitch?" Ryūko casually asked.

He shook his head, "I wanted Omiko to put her past behind her, but I'm wondering what her feelings will be like. Omiko-chan's a really explosive girl when it comes to express herself, that's why I'm wondering how didn't I notice it sooner?"

Takaharu arched an eyebrow, "Notice what? Don't keep me in suspense, Gentaro-bro."

The Rider beamed, "She and Ryūko are like birds of a feather!"

There was silence for a few seconds until both blonde and drifter broke it, "Are you on some kind stupid medication?!"

Mako clasped her hands, "Ah, he's right! You two are like sisters!"

Senketsu nodded, "When it comes to expressing one's emotions, none are second to you two."

Growling softly to herself, the red locked girl fumed over how much she hated the accuracy of that observation. Looking at Gentaro's giant grin made it hard to stay angry forever, especially as she had finally figured out what she could get him for his birthday party.

That said, as they followed where Omiko was dragging Dina and Maiko around, the furious tennis player only calmed down when Gentaro placed a hand gently on her shoulder. Exhaling steam from her toothy maw to calm down, she dropped Maiko and Dina onto the ground, pointing at the trapper with a serious stare.

"Forget about that, Gentaro, we have to find that shrill voiced giggling harpy, now!" She all but commanded, making Maiko dust herself off and readjust her glasses with a roll of her eyes.

Maiko fumbled with her machine, "Tch… there're too many readings. I'll give her this, she thought this up well… not good enough, though." There was a chuckle escaping her sly smile as she pulled out a small pink book, "After all, getting someone's patterns by using their diary works wonders."

Gentaro stared in mute awe and fear, "She and JK would definitely find things to talk about."

She had to ask, she really did, Ryūko voiced the question everyone had on their minds, "Where the hell did you steal that to begin with?!" Maiko only grinned nastily at the delinquent.

"I just happened to steal it when I infiltrated the Naito family house. It wasn't that hard really. You'd be surprised at how little security the Two-Stars place around their belongings and personal affects." Her words and the eerie grin she had made Mako shiver adorably along with Gentaro.

"Maiko-chan is super-duper scary when she talks like that!" She exclaimed as she hugged the pompadour wearing teen, who shivered right back with her as they looked at Maiko's creepily laughing body. They observed her upper body bending back as she cackled until Omiko grabbed her by her blouse and dragged her back up.

"Where is that pink haired bint?" She cut right to the issue at the heart of this entire fiasco, the trap mistress merely pushed up her glasses with a huff.

"I just have her regular schedule. We can use that to track her at the spots I'm reading at. Humans being creatures with habits tend to be predictable, and this little book will narrow down her hiding spot." She said dryly before reading the diary with a casual smirk at the end, "There's five spots she can be in at this hour judging by her notes and the readings. However, one of them is actually moving…"

"So you got her!" Omiko cheered with a rather sadistic grin and a pumped up fist, but shut up when seeing the red-eyed brunette go quiet, "Oi, what is it now?"

"She's… in a restricted area of the academy…"

"You wouldn't mean…?!" Omiko's eyes seemed to shrink as Maiko twitched nervously, "Oooooh yeah I do… That pink haired nutcase is in the god damn Life Fiber storage room! And if I'm right, we're going to be fighting her entire club to get to her!"

Her words made Takaharu look stunned, then utterly concerned, "We gotta move Gentaro-bro! Ryūko, Mako, this just jumped to priority one."

Rubbing the inside of her ear with her pinky, the red locked girl looked confused, "What you mean? It's just a room where Life-Fibers are…" Slowly her odd blue eyes widened in shock as realization filled them up, "Oh… Ooooh… That's screwed…"

Gentaro was already transformed, Fourze in a mood of striking seriousness, "We have to save Hikari-chan from her own feelings of regret and anger! Otherwise she might never be able to enjoy the warmth of Omiko's friendship! I can't let that happen!"

"I'm calling anyone who can help us!" Maiko shouted, and already a blue fireball flew towards them.

Meteor joined Fourze, Tomoko walking next to him as Ryūko had already yanked back the pin on her glove, activating Senketsu.

"The text said we would fight a tough enemy using those odd fibers… So, same as last time?" he asked the drifter girl.

"Pretty much. Guess we've got a battle to go through?" She asked the Riders aloud.

Omiko held a spare tennis ball in her hand, then tossed it into the air, balancing it on one finger with a toothy smirk, "Of course we do! That pink headed harpy, she isn't going to get away with pissing me off!"

And they were off faster than their feet ever carried them before. The path towards the Life-Fiber building, normally restricted to everyone but the Sewing Club, was completely swarmed by an entire rainbow assortment of magical girls. They all stood in front of a small shed that actually housed an elevator towards an underground facility so deep it was far below sea-level. Shiro himself, the captain of the Sewing Club, had a fondness for freshly made sushi, and it showed when he had the sea around the city to get fresh ingredients or really rare ones no-one could catch without a submarine. Satsuki herself did enjoy taking him to sushi bars in order to get the pale blond lad out of the club whenever he and Inumuta weren't brainstorming on new ideas to sushi bars, it was the only way he'd get fresh air.

Back to the matter at hand… Standing against such a massive army of would-be allies of justice and love were two mask wearing Riders seeking to make friends and help the other make friends, an ex-tennis club captain fighting for her friends and dreams, a boxer with aspirations to follow in the footsteps of his heroes, a cowardly trap mistress with delusions of grandeur and an intent to seeing them through, a delinquent with a hate-on for whoever was the bitch that killed her father, and a happy go lucky optimist who loved croquettes.

The magical girls were going to get massacred no matter what happened.

"Ora!" being a boxer first, Takaharu was the first to charge right at them, finding a One-Star magical girl readying a gun only to see him duck under it, upper-cut it out of her hands, and swiftly punch the ground so hard he caused it to crack! The nearby girls yelped as their feet sunk into the hard ground while Maiko grinned.

"That's the power of my babies, never underestimate what a pair of mittens and my genius can do!"

"It's not just that!" the short boxer cheered, "I want to go all out! If our enemies will get tougher, I am done holding back!"

"Well said!" Gentaro shouted before using the Rocket Switch to fly at his side and parry a large scythe from reaching his pal.

"Get them!"

After the classical evil henchman cliché line, the magical girls started to pile on the KR club members, surrounding them and trying to get to them with the sheer power of numbers rather than might. As the team fought together, they were used to cover each other. And Hikari showed to be more than met the eye when her voice rang through speakers.

"You thought I'd let a gorilla like you corner me so easily?!" her high-pitched laugh made the rebellious students cringe, "Don't make me laugh! After all, I know how allies of justice act, so I'll make you feel the despair of real heroes while you face true heroines!"

"What kinda crap are you smoking, you pink-" Omiko started before the ground disappeared between her feet and the others', her insult continuing in the form of a furious roar as everyone, including the magical girls, fell down different chutes, "BIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIITCH!"

Maiko and Mako both looking at each other anxiously, both they whirled around to face Magical Girl Trap Mistress who slowly walked towards them.

"Please forgive me. I must defeat you both to become a true woman!" Magical Girl Trap Mistress begged them both, making Maiko's face twitch slightly.

"Why?! You look absolutely sexy already! Are you that desperate to be a woman!? Trust me, you don't want to be a woman when you can be a boy as cute as you!" Maiko openly flirted with Magical Girl Trap Mistress even as she herself subtly begun backing away.

Mako tilted her head quizzically, looking confused by Maiko now, "But Maiko-chan, Mako thinks it's okay to follow your heart and dreams! Even if Magical Girl Trap Mistress wants to be a woman, shouldn't we encourage their dreams?"

Slapping her forehead in irritation, Maiko gave out an exasperated huff, "You're thick as two bricks Mako, Magical Girl Trap Mistress is just sexy enough as a boy!" She explained to Mako like she was an utter simpleton.

Tilting his head slowly, Magical Girl Trap Mistress put their argument out of his head even as he pulled up his dress and made a bunch of sharp implements float behind his head.

NEO KAMEN RIDER CLUB PRESIDENT

AND

NEO KAMEN RIDER CLUB MEMBER

EX HEAD OF THE TRAP DEPARTMENT OF THE DISCIPLINARY COMMITTEE

MAIKO ŌGURE

VS

MAGICAL GIRL CLUB MEMBER

MAGICAL GIRL TRAP MISTRESS

SAKURA KURENAI

THE BATTLE OF COWARDLY AMBITIONS BEGINS!

"Where do you think you're going Maiko-san?" Magical Girl Trap Mistress asked the coward who was already putting Mako in front of her, her hand ducking into a large waist bag she had around her side.

"Behind this invincible blockhead's meatshield of a body." She said bluntly and with full honesty.

Mako giving Magical Girl Trap Mistress a cheerful thumbs up, "Mako is a good meatshield! But she'd be better if she had her club captain uniform!"

"You have that little regard for your comrade?" Magical Girl Trap Mistress asked in complete shock at Maiko's cowardice.

"No. I have contempt for her. Big difference. This airhead is completely useless for anything but protecting me… But that said. I'm not the type to abandon her to save my own skin, as much as I'd want to. This idiot is my friend. And she's here to keep me safe while I make due on my plans to beat your cute little ass like it's a pair of bongos." Maiko said, before throwing a smoke bomb down, white smoke pouring out and making Magical Girl Trap Mistress shriek in pain as it was tear gas.

Upon opening his eyes, he found them gone. Rubbing them furiously to get the tears out, he tried to look for them around the place, unaware of Mako. The coconut girl stepped closer to him until she was within reach, holding a simple wooden bat she had started taking with her for any struggle. She wasn't the president of the Neo Kamen Rider club for nothing.

Sadly… "Got you!" Trap Mistress exclaimed as he turned around and stopped her swing on his head with a yoyo.

Maiko gasped, "Wait, that design… You stole my idea!"

Trap Mistress stepped aside and started doing the old walking the dog trick, "I used to work for you, but had to quit when you started to speak your mind about your plans to conquer the world. The harem part was the reason everyone left."

"So you're one of my old club mates… Never thought I'd have to school one of you in actual trap fighting techniques. Mako, get over here. I'll have to fight myself…" Pushing up her glasses up with legitimate fear, the cowardly trap mistress none the less reached into her bag, pulling out a pair of dark brown gloves with strange black oval like indents over the knuckles.

She slowly slipped them on, before she pushed up her glasses slowly. With a flick of her wrists, long wires shot out of the holes, dexterously flicking them around until they plucked out several more items from her bag without ripping through them.

"Razor wire!? Where did a cowardly trap mistress like you get the skill to use those?" Completely shocked by Maiko's skill in using the notoriously difficult to master and handle razor floss, Magical Girl Trap Mistress was blindsided by a flying goo grenade, green slime sticking to his body and making him yelp as the sticky feeling made it hard to move.

"My cousin who runs an orphanage taught me how to use them. And I was inspired by his cowardice and skill with them. So Magical Girl Trap Mistress, to paraphrase him… Let's fight in a completely unfair and cowardly way!"

She clasped her hands and had made a web with the wires, glaring at Trap Mistress, who scoffed, "A girl shouldn't be awful and ugly by fighting cowardly, you're a rat." He threw his yoyo at her, and Maiko threw the web up.

Mako watched her spectacled friend tie the wires to the ceiling to swing over the attack, and how a simple toy could be destructive. The yoyo's collision with the floor caused a small but heavily packed sonic boom! It blew a hole on the floor and Maiko was fortunately away enough to swing at the boy and land behind him.

"I'm too weak to do much harm with these, but!" she started and spread her hands, and Mako gasped as she saw the boy's hands get tied up, "Slug him, Mako!"

Said squirrely girl nodded and raced at the boy for a homerun. Seeing that, the effeminate lad sighed and brought up a curvaceous leg with his foot over his head. He brought it down on the wires, making Maiko trip forward and nearly fall. With his hands slightly freer, he let his yoyo fall and used his other foot to kick it back at Mako.

"Not so fast!" she cried, stomping forward and swinging with all her might, "This Mankanshoku has seen enough fights to know she has to do more for her friends! If Maiko-chan is fighting as a coward ogress, then so can an underachiever like Mako!"

Hearing the echoing strike of a sonic yoyo against a wooden bat would make anyone think the wooden weapon would break…

To Inumuta, who was watching it all along the other elites, it was shocking if his grip on his flask loosening and making him drop it was any indication, "How?! That thing should be splinters by now! How is that underachiever doing that?!"

Ira on the other hand, "That's right, Mankanshoku, don't let your spirit falter! Otherwise, I'll help to build yourself stronger into a woman that can be a shield for everything she loves!"

Nonon stared at the man, as he grew up to twenty stories in excitement, "Someone's in love."

Uzu grinned, "Tell me something less obvious…"

"Mako has trained to help her friends!" the coconut head declared and did something that amazed everyone as she rushed at the effeminate boy, "She won't leave Ryūko-chan or Gen-chan's sides when they need her!"

The yoyo user spun his yoyo around him like a flail and was determined to slam Mako with a sonic boom to the face. The audience of the four elite members of the school and their leader were more than shocked when Mako started to move her bat around like nunchucks! She was moving a simple wooden club like she was in some kung fu film, and managed to deflect the yoyo back at Magical Girl Trap Mistress. The poor girly boy could only cry in anger that Mako managed to shake off the explosion of sound, skidding back to a halt after doing so, and that the yoyo was still charged. He ducked under it and pulled it back, stopping the explosive charge with that simple movement.

"That's not going to be enough!" he was furious, "I won't let girls that don't care about their own feminine side look down on me!"

Mako held her bat like she saw Ryūko hold her scissor blade to prepare herself for another attack while Maiko stood near her with the wires of her gloves tied together into a spider web, "When and where did you learn to do that?" the trap expert asked the underachiever.

Mako beamed, "Watching kung-fu flicks with Gen-chan and hearing his uncle Kiryu's stories of some mad dog guy that uses a bat to fight like crazy."

Sweating, the cowardly trap mistress replied, "Right then. Let's take this wannabe down and then never speak of fighting together ever again! Unless we have to. Or if I want to brag. Or-" Using her wires to block a yo-yo swing, bouncing it off of the surprisingly elastic wires right back at Magical Girl Trap Mistress, Maiko panicked briefly, "Oh hell! You made me lose my train of thought! Um…!"

"MAKO SLUGGER STYLE!" A powerful orange aura enveloped Mako, as she stuck her tongue out and somehow made her old banchou cap appear. She even turned it around so she could look like a real baseball player.

Maiko stared at this, pulling off her glasses, breathing on them to make sure they were clean, then putting them on again before asking with a flat tone, "…what?"

"Mako's trained really hard to be able to fight without those super-duper totally cool toys Maiko-chan handed out to Omiko-chan and Takaharu-san! So she learned how to fight with a bat!" She said openly and proudly.

"And I repeat. What?" She asked again.

Mako declared with utmost pride, "Mako learned from Kiryu-san's weird scary eyepatch wearing friend! He told Mako that if she wants to make a man hers, she has to know to whack him upside the head and take him to her cave before she ravishes him without end!"

"I-bwa-what?!" Maiko took all of a second to process this before she near flipped out.

The elite four watching this with Satsuki had their own reactions to this.

Uzu let loose a long whistle, grinning widely while Inumuta hid his expression by taking a pull of his flask. But the smirk he had didn't go away even through his drinking habit.

Ira's face was stoic, but a slight bit of color came to his cheeks while Nonon gained a teasing glint to her eyes.

She sadly was prevented from her righteous teasing by Satsuki letting loose a soft cough to signal her dropping the subject.

"How does she even work?" the effeminate magical girl/boy asked before shaking his head, "Wait, I can't get pulled into the same rhythm as girls who don't try to be more than a bland maniac or an airheaded bimbo!"

A vein popped on Maiko's head, "That's it, I'll kill him!" she snapped and threw her hands at him.

"Not if I take you down first!" he exclaimed.

Magical Girl Trap Mistress replied by slamming his yo-yo to the ground, creating a sonic boom that launched him to the skies. The two girls gasped as he landed behind them, and got ready for another round. But Mako was ready and before the yoyo user could hit them, she sent it flying with a solid homerun. However, the boy was ready, he pulled back his weapon to attack, smelling victory…

Until Maiko grinned darkly, her glasses hiding her eyes as she laughed, "Idiot… You've been playing into my hands this entire time~! You moron!"

Confused, Magical Girl Trap Mistress meant to ask what the hell she meant, until he spun around, realizing that she had spread wires all around them. With a pull of her hands and thanks to Mako's homerun, she caught the yoyo in a net and soon more wires spun around everyone. The girl's tricks had trapped the two of them together with a surprising level of foresight, for she had used Mako's antics at the start to set up her real trap perfectly.

Pushing up her glasses with one finger, Maiko coldly looked down at the horrified face of her opponent, "Your first mistake was crossing your old boss. Namely me. Your second mistake was trying to hurt and kill me and Mako here, around my family we look unkindly on threats to our lives or our own. Your third and most important mistake, dear little Sakura-kun, was insulting my friends. They're the people who accepted all of me. Neurosis, paranoia, megalomania and all. Now, any last words Sakura Kurenai?"

She said even as she tugged on the wires with one hand, wrapping them tightly around her opponent who was sweating fearfully, "That's what I thought… Now suffer for me… BITCH!" She ripped his clothes off and tore them into life fibers that shot past her, making him kyaa like a little girl.

Her wires snapped back into her gloves with a flick of her wrists, Mako cheering happily next to her, "You did great, Maiko-chan! I'm so happy we're friends!" she hugged the glasses wearing girl to her far larger bosom, which in turn had her grumble.

"Ugh, I should take it all back if this is what I get…"

"No! Remember, we're besties!" Mako argued firmly.

Sakura was on the ground, crying with his girly butt in the air, "What's more humiliating? Losing to them, or being ignored after losing to them?" with that, he let his head fall into unconsciousness.

XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX

Gentaro was having some odd flashbacks to how he met Tomoko when facing his opponent.

"Magical Girl Gothic Lolita… dancing for the darker justice…"

Skidding back as the owner of the aforementioned scythe came for him, Kamen Rider Fourze threw out his arm, blocking several more scythe strikes that sought to slice his head off in one quick motion. Magical Girl Gothic Lolita silently took a stance opposite him, her odd eyes staring at him with a stare best described as being full of cold indifference.

Slicking back his helmet, Fourze pointed at her even as he backed away from the cold looking Magical Girl, "Kamen Rider Fourze, let's do this mano-a-mano!" He cheerfully told her, Magical Girl Gothic Lolita coldly glaring at him now. Her glare persisted even as he flew right at her, his Rocket Switch launching him at her face!

NEO KAMEN RIDER CLUB FOUNDER

KAMEN RIDER FOURZE

GENTARO KISARAGI

VS

MAGICAL GIRL CLUB MEMBER

MAGICAL GIRL GOTHIC LOLITA

STELLA KUROHOSHI

A BATTLE OF FRIENDSHIP VS DARKNESS IS UNDERWAY!

"Die. Die. And die again." Magical Girl Gothic Lolita morphed her scythe into a massive shotgun, and begun firing off rounds that peppered the air completely.

Round after round of glowing blue bullets were fired at the Kamen Rider. Fourze having to move fast, and fly around with Rocket. The sheer amount of rounds prevented him from doing his best to dodge each shot, and having to ward off what he couldn't with his suit.

"Let's try something a little different for once! Kengo in my head, what should I do?" Fourze paused, he actually paused for a second as eh consulted his mental best friend.

"Try using Shield, and parrying her scythe strikes. Close the distance Kisaragi and you can win!" The Kengo inside his head told the Rider, making Fourze give him a thumbs up in excitement.

"Got it!" He pulled out the Shield switch, swapping out the Rader switch and placing the Shield Switch onto it in its place.

"Shield~! Shield on~!" The belt sang out, before Fourze extended his left arm, the shield appearing over it.

"What use is that supposed to do…? It's meaningless…" Magical Girl Gothic Lolita told him before he pointed Rocket at her face, launching him forward and right into her personal space.

"Nothing is meaningless when you're fighting to make new friends!" the Kamen Rider declared in determination to his opponent, who silently shifted her scythe back.

"Everything is meaningless… except fighting evil. Die." She intoned to him without a single twitch of her cheek. That was before she begun swinging her glorified gardening tool at him, trying to cleave his head from his shoulders or at the very least his body to go with it.

As the Kengo in his head had suggested, he parried the strikes with Shield, blocking what he couldn't before an acrobatic flip launched him over head! His jet-pack erupted into grey smoke as it took him over Magical Girl Gothic Lolita's head, landing behind her before he was met with the business end of her scythe.

Silently morphing it into its rifle mode, Magical Girl Gothic Lolita glared him down even as she lined up the sights of her gun with his head.

She aimed her scythe at him, Life Fibers causing sparks to fly and change colors to become bats made out of black lightning. Gentaro would've been amazed and would want Tomoko to see it, if he didn't have to jump out of one's way. The sparks made his body tingle even if he was a foot away, so he didn't really want to know what'd happen if he got a direct hit.

"Ah, Life Fibers always have so many tricks… Makes me want my own uniform like Senketsu, though." He briefly wondered what it'd be like to befriend his own clothing, his delinquent attire would definitely be as passionate as him, and encourage him and everyone to fight on, to pierce the heavens, and to wear manly orange shades.

"Friendship… The only friends one needs are the ones that won't hurt you. All of mine… are like that… Because they're not people…" she reached into her uniform and pulled out a pocket-sized Teddy bear with an eye-patch and a massive shark grin sewed on it, "Booboo is the only friend I need…"

"That's right! Show him what for!" the plushy energetically shouted, but Gentaro barely caught a glimpse of the girl's lips twitching, meaning she was a ventriloquist on the side.

"Amazing, can you do tricks with puppets too?!" he asked cheerfully, but such a question to an anti-social shut in would sound rude…

"You… You mock me…" she teared up, tugging at his heartstrings, "Then… die…" if it weren't for the fact she was swinging her electrically charged scythe at him with more lightning bats flying around, he'd have felt sorry to see her truly heartbroken with tears in her eyes and the most sorrow he had seen in a pair of dark eyes.

Quickly putting on another Switch, one of his legs morphed into an admittedly clunky but very effective spring. After jumping over her, he used the spring to nail her scythe on the floor, "Sorry, but friendship doesn't work like that! It-"

"Get off, punk!" Booboo "shouted" at him before the boy was reminded that steel was capable of conducting electricity when the scythe fried him. After a pained yell, he was flung away, crashing on a wall.

"Alright… let's get serious!" he pulled out the tenth Switch, ready for an electrifying battle.

"Elec~! Elec on~!"

The belt sang out as a flash of lightning and electricity surged into the air, with a swing of Billy the Rod, the Rider parried her scythe swing with a shocking twist.

"K-KYAAAA!" Her scream of pain heralded the Rider punching her several times in the face, each blow shocking her further as his entire body seemed to be coated in surging electricity! Owing to the fact that she had had been fighting him with an electrified weapon, his entire body stomped forward, lightning coursing over its surface.

"Friendship is about learning and accepting the good and bad, to learn from them!" he shouted and shocked her even more when she felt her scythe losing power, "So I'll take whatever you can dish out, and reach out to the real you!"

His cry and strikes made her step back, "He… he's absorbing my electricity… How… How can he…?"

"Being friends with people isn't easy." Fourze said, grinning behind his helmet, "That's why you need to learn what it's like, with the good and the bad, so people can learn to accept you as who you are, and for you to accept them for who they are." Then he stomped forward, "That's why! I'll extend my hand of friendship to you as many times as it takes for you to accept it! No one deserves to be alone without friends!"

She was shocked at what Fourze declared openly, even as he prepared himself for a Limit Break.

Gasping, Magical Girl Gothic Lolita recoiled when her heart beat rapidly at his declaration, "Stop it…! You're just lying, everything is meaningless… everything…!"

"Magical Girl Gothic Lolita… This Kamen Rider Fourze promises you! He won't ever let you go friendless ever again! Let's go!"

"I'll stop your lies!"

Her cry was accompanied with a burst of electricity as she launched herself at him, twirling her scythe. Fourze saw it coming and set Billy the Rod into the left Union Tap, energizing the blade even as he struck the rod against the winch cable connecting it to the Elek module!

"Let's go! BUT WITH A TWIST!" He punched the ground, a wave of electricity shooting out like an arrow and zapping the Magical Girl, making her stand rigid with a loud "Kyaaa!"

"RIDER ELECTRIC… SLICE!" He held his weapon in a stance that had Satsuki, observing from her tower, stand up in surprise.

"That's!"

Nonon spat out tea into Inumuta's face herself, Uzu looking rigid with awe himself, "Iaido! Gentaro, you learned that too?!"

Indeed, Fourze had absorbed the samurai techniques of both Uzu and Satsuki. Incorporating them into his fighting style with surprising seamlessness. He held Billy the Rod with one hand grasping the handle, the other held over the tip, his body seeming to appear samurai like itself.

With a single and near instant movement, he appeared behind Magical Girl Gothic Lolita, swinging the rod back into its starting position after a lightning shaped cut had hit her outfit! Slowly dissolving into wiggling life-fibers that flew past him, Kamen Rider Fourze turned around slowly to the now black lacy underwear clad girl.

"W… Why…?" she started to cry, "People… never accept others… they just want to find… good and force it on them… So why…?"

"You don't need to be like that." He said and sat beside her, smiling, "Being you with others and learning from them how to be better… That's something I can't live without. So, why don't you try to be yourself and see how you can be a better yourself?"

"A better… me…?" she breathed out slowly.

He beamed, "If everything's meaningless, why not try to make it mean something?!"

He silently held out his hand to her, the black clad girl sniffling as she told him her real name, "It…It's…!S-Stella Kurohoshi…"

"Gentaro Kisaragi! Let's be good friends to each other!" She gripped it, before feudal drums banged in her head as he pulled his hand away to bang his fist against her fist, up, then down. "Now we're best buds! Let's get along Stella-chan!" he declared happily to her.

"Thank you…" she whispered, showing a small smile on her face.

"Magical Girl Robo will punish you, you dirty ruffian boxer!" Magical Girl Robo rolled up to Takaharu on her unicycle, the boxing student on the other hand rolling his shoulders slowly.

"Yeah, I'm a boxer, but I aim to always fight with honor and respect for my opponent in the ring. That's just… The kind of man I am!" Takaharu declared to her, letting out a sharp inhale of breath, his eyes flashing a bright white as he lifted Monday One and Sunday Two into the air.

Sparks flew from the surface of Monday One, while Sunday Two's energy field coated its surface.

"Then you're just a street thug with a delusional belief in your own pride! Boxing is an ugly sport, and only violent thugs fight in it!" Clearly Magical Girl Robo had something of a grudge against his chosen profession, Takaharu merely let out a small groan at her glare.

"Alright. Alright. I guess talk is cheap with you. C'mon then! Let's go!" Takaharu raised both fists, his footwork blasting him forward as she rolled towards him furiously.

MAGICAL GIRL ROBO

KOTETSU HAKASE

THE BATTLE TO PROVE HIS PATH IS THE RIGHT ONE IS HERE!

"I'll show you what a real justice filled fist is about…ROCKET…PUNCH!" Magical Girl Robo held out her right hand, before she fired a boxing glove attached to a bazooka shell out of the "sleeves" of her robot suit!

His head tilted to the side, making the shell explode behind him, barely ruffling his outfit as he silently put up his fists.

"In boxing, there's only one thing that matters. That you fight with your pride as a man and a boxer on the line. Anyone can learn it, very few can master it. Those who do master it, become true men. Because they bare and carry the weight of that pride on their backs." He said quietly, stepping forward as two flames ignited inside of his eyes, Monday One and Sunday Two being lifted up in a trademark peekaboo guard.

"Who cares what two ruffians hitting each to death think!? You're all just violent brutes! LASER BEAM!" She ducked her head into her box, before glowing yellow lights zapped out of the "robots" eyes and shot towards the Boxer who ducked down and past them.

"My friends care. And that's what matters to me! That they think my words and my beliefs matter! That they respect and acknowledge me as one of theirs! Gentaro-bro is a man amongst men, because he acknowledges that my- No! He acknowledges everyone's dreams, good or bad, that is why he does everything he can to see them smile!"

"I DON'T CARE! STOP TALKING!" She seemed reluctant to even consider his points, which only made Takaharu's eyes burn with determination.

"Then let me show you… The weight of my pride!" He flew over the distance he had gained with an explosive jump. His body rocketed forward in a text book dash, the speed of which shocked Magical Girl Robo as he closed the distance faster than she could keep up with.

"How can he move so fast without a uniform?!" a watching Nonon asked.

Sanageyama grinned, "I wouldn't have made him a captain if he were a pansy!"

"Rocket Right!" Monday One shot forward in a right hook so quick flames erupted over his arm, punching the cardboard clad Magical Girl and making her yelp.

"Th-that won't work on me!" She declared only for the teenager to grin, as his body moved with the momentum from his punch.

"Then this will! Let's go!" he threw another punch, a direct right hook that sent her skidding back.

"Enough!" the girl shouted as she pulled large bazookas out of thin air behind her back, "Eat this! Magical Girl Robo Star Barrage!"

Missiles flew at Takaharu, who weaved and bobbed around them to get close to the girl.

"Now I gotta ask you this…! Where are you aiming!? Here? There?! Everywhere but where I am!" Dodging every missile, Takaharu taunted Magical Girl Robo. Or so it seemed, in reality he was stating the obvious to her.

He had his vision set on only one outcome. One potential path that led to what he considered his victory. Showing her that a boxer had his pride embedded in his fists, they were the proof that they were a fighter, that they would win in a world where boxing was considered a poor man's fighting skill. He was no stranger to being considered weak or a ruffian, martial artists looked down on boxers. That was a fact. They were considered inferior for their strict limitation on their fighting techniques.

Takaharu acknowledged these beliefs, but he refused to bow to them. That just wasn't the kind of man he was, nor was it what he had grown up on. His heroes had struggled, fought, and overcame their challenges. His doubts were there to limit him and his potential, so he broke past them. His fears had been there to mock him and his progress, so he shattered them. His peers had been there to taunt him and tell him he was just a second-string captain in Satsuki's school, so he had surpassed them.

In the end, he walked his path alone without doubts, fears, or friends. It was only when he met Gentaro that he truly learned how limited he had been, fighting for nothing but his dreams left him empty inside.

"Why can't you fall?! Don't you get it?!" the girl shouted angrily, "I'm stuck with you because we're the weakest in our groups! No one can take you seriously without a uniform, so go down already!"

That would've stung a man's soul, but he was different, "I get it. I really do… I'm not a Kamen Rider, I'm not an Olympic tennis player, I'm not a Kamui wearer, I'm not a super genius, and I'm not a supreme moron. But I'm me! I'm Gentaro-bro's friend! And that's what makes me stronger than you!"

He dodged several missiles fired in a volley, his voice coming out in a furious tone, Magical Girl Robo panicked as he shot a rocket punch from Sunday Two, his fist snapping back in place even as she was all but freaking out.

"Just… what are you!? You're a freak! Stop spouting out stuff that makes you look so much cooler than you really are! You shaved gorilla!" She shrieked out, more missiles being fired at him even as he threw up a guard, Monday One glowing a bright golden before an aura erupted over his fists.

"Eyes forward, heads up, fists ready, that's how a boxer lives! And that's how I'll leave to stand along my best friend!" His peekaboo style guard became a shield, allowing him to charge forward, his feet pounding him towards her! Throwing aside his arms he punched twice, two jabs fired off at the speed of sound, shattering her two bazookas in a split second.

Pulling away as fast as she could, the girl snapped, "Stop acting so high and mighty!" she shouted as she pulled out two massive rocket launchers from her back with large magazines for overly sized rockets to fire at the short boxer, "Why do you even fight for guys like them?!"

The barrage of rockets eclipsed the missile barrage from before, but the boy kept moving forward without ever stopping! Magical Girl Robo couldn't land a single hit, for the boy started to weave and bob around the strikes as he got into a rhythm. And then she saw it, the way he moved as he closed the distance between the two.

"That's a Dempsey Roll!" Sanageyama gasped as Takaharu moved his head in an 8 pattern to add a boost to his momentum,

The short boxer's entire body begun twisting and soon he started to slam punches from the sides without stopping his rolling motions. Magical Girl Robo could do nothing as each strike slammed into her body and echoing out! Waves of force begun bursting from his fists, Takaharu felt he wasn't alone even as he fought Magical Girl Robo. He wasn't fighting for just his pride. He was fighting so those who believed in him would be proud!

"That's just the kind of guys they are! Just the kind of man Gentaro-bro is! He might be… EVEN BIGGER THAN SATSUKI-SAMA! He accepts all the universe, because it is beautiful to him! He accepts everyone in it! No matter who they are or where they came from! My friends carry their pride better than anyone else! That's why I can be happy that they need me!" Flames erupted down the length of his body, exploding into a burning golden aura, a hawk silently raising above his body.

Rearing a fist back for the coup the grace, Takaharu punched the girl so hard that she was rocketed into the air, crashing through the nearest wall while her uniform turned into threads.

Panting, the boxer brought up a fist and let out a loud yell of, "YATTA!"

He looked down at the trembling form of Magical Girl Robo glaring up at him in her undergarments. With a twist he took off his coat and tossed it to her to let her cover herself in surprise at his chivalry.

"Why…?" she asked.

Turning with a grin, Takaharu thumbed his nose with a shrug, "Because it's what I chose to do, like the man I respect I don't really need a reason to help someone."

"…My… My name… is Kotetsu Hakase…" She sniffled out.

Takaharu grinned at her as he turned around with a nod, "Pleasure to meet you."

He continued walking off, making her look at his back with a growing blush.

XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX

"Just my luck!" Magical Girl Sexy Devil growled as she glared at Meteor and Tomoko, "Seriously, why do I got to fight against two lovebirds?! It makes me sick! It's like the universe wants to mock me for remaining single while girls like Dina can nail the kind of guy they want! I hate you!"

Her fast-paced rant was ignored by the kung fu fighting Rider, "Do you have a read on this one, Tomoko?"

Said goth girl nodded, "Yes… I can smell something from that spear of hers. It's like a curse, so don't let it touch you even once. Think of it as poison."

He turned to her, giving the dark girl a thumb up, "Thanks for the heads up!"

"HEY! Don't be giving away my secrets, you creepy goth!" Magical Girl Sexy Devil angrily told her before she ran straight at Meteor, her spear out and ready to impale him!

EDNA SEGUNDA

A BATTLE OF JEALOUSY AND JUSTICE SHALL START!

Ryusei was quick to punch her spear aside and swiftly brought a leg over his head to slam down the weapon and keep it on the floor. The angry magical girl watched the tip of her spear nailed on the ground and rushed at Meteor. Ryusei was ready to punch her, but he didn't expect her to punch her own spear! The strike made the bladed tip cut through the ground, spinning around as it left a large gash on the floor, and allowed the magical girl to lift it over her head to crush Meteor.

The Rider was quick to cross his arms over his head and felt he strike shake his knees painfully, and he could tell the ground had given in under his feet, "Dammit, I forgot these uniforms give a crazy strength boost, but this is ridiculous!"

"Forget the spear." Tomoko told him while sniffing, and then her eyes went wide, "I found it! The weak point is at the back between the wings!"

Meteor kicked the spear to get some distance and nodded, "Got it, then I have to destroy her top… The Hell am I saying?!" his reaction was as spontaneous as something Gentaro would do. He had been serious one second, and completely shocked the next.

Tomoko nodded, "It's the only way, so don't worry, I won't judge."

"That's not my problem! I… I don't want anyone to think I'm the kind of guy who'd do that kind of thing!" the Rider argued.

"It's fine, I'll correct them." Tomoko said somberly, which was her best way to try to cheer him up.

With a furious swing of her spear, a wave of red light made Meteor dodge back Tomoko held in his arms while Magical Girl Sexy Devil stomped her foot furiously, "You two! Stop being so damn lovey dovey! I'll kill you both for being so sickeningly saccharine it makes me wanna puke!"

Kamen Rider Meteor calmly took a martial arts stance, a blazing blue aura over taking his body as he swiped one finger across his face plate, "You touch a hair on her head. And I'll destroy you down to the last bit of Life-Fibers."

He reared back a hand and repeatedly slammed his palm on her side, making her stagger back. With a growl, the devil girl twirled her spear and slammed it on the ground, causing it to shake Meteor and Tomoko off their feet. The Rider was quick to slam a foot back before falling over while the goth girl leaned on a wall for support.

"You can't beat me you stupid star-crossed lovers! I'm the strongest member of Hikari-sama's elite four!" Magical Girl Sexy Devil taunted Meteor who simply took a stance, Tomoko walking over to him without a care herself.

"So? Gentaro means to befriend the actual Elite Four, and make that Satsuki woman his best friend. Compared to them you're just small time." The Rider dismissively told her, making her jaw drop at her opponent's audacity.

"S-s-small time?! I'LL SHOW YOU SMALL TIME!" She snapped, she utterly and completely snapped.

"Hmm… I wonder…" the goth started, "Ryu- I mean, Meteor, stand aside."

"Are you-" He started but froze as dark giggle and darker aura escaped Tomoko while she searched into her pockets.

Magical Girl Sexy Devil was going to strike the goth… only to get salt thrown at her face, "Agh, pah! Ugh, what?!" she cried, coughed, and spat.

Tomoko looked disappointed, "Odd, her attempts to be a demon made her feel like some imp. For such occasions I always have pure salt to deal with evil spirits, but I guess she's really just a phony."

Ryusei felt an awkwardness weigh down his shoulders, "Tomoko… did you really want to fight onis?"

She giggled darkly, "I actually wanted to see if I could make her my pet like my great ancestor Tharja tried with the man of her dreams."

A chill ran up and down the Rider's spine at her words.

"W-what the hell!? What did you try to do?!" Magical Girl Sexy Devil asked in a furious splutter until Tomoko swung out a rosary bead chain like a whip. The loud crack of the beads made their opponent yelp and jump back holding a bruised cheek while Tomoko tugged on her bead whip tightly, her expression one of creepy intensity.

"Meteor-kun, you go in! I'll support you from the side." She said, cracking her whip as the Kamen Rider yelped and rushed forward, even if she wasn't hitting him, he still felt afraid to get it from her. Pun intended, he was whipped.

"Where does Kisaragi get these guys, seriously?" Sanageyama asked out loud, "It's like he makes a friend out of every oddball out there, like he's a magnet for the bizarre."

Satsuki nodded, "He is one that wants to win over others by winning their hearts, as we can see he won these two's. However, his naivety will only get him so far. He thinks he can defeat his enemies by making them his friends, and that shall be his downfall."

"Perhaps…" Ira mused to himself, his expression contemplative as Satsuki looked up at him to signal her acknowledgement of his thoughts, "No. It's nothing Satsuki-sama. I don't think it's any value saying what will obviously be proven false." The man said, privately wondering to himself as thoughts of Mako came unbidden to his mind, 'Perhaps he can do it, just perhaps Gentaro Kisaragi can befriend us…'

"Ah-cha!" the elites focused on Meteor as he dodged one of the magical girl's swings and slammed his shoulder in a textbook kung-fu tackle that sent her flying.

"Dammit!" she growled, stabbed her weapon on the ground, and spun on it like an exotic dancer, "I'm not losing to some Bruce Lee wannabe!" she landed on her feet and charged at the Rider.

Meteor crouched and took his usual stance with both legs spread, his arms extended to his sides with one leveled to his head and the other near his hip. "Woo…" he started to get serious, this the goth girl knew, "Wah-tah!"

Once Magical Girl Sexy Devil was a step from smashing him, the Rider flew at her and delivered one mean flying kick her way. She brought up her spear to parry it, twirled her weapon in her hands, and brought it down on him. The Rider rolled aside and watched a crater appear where he had stood. If Tomoko wasn't scary enough to some, she certainly was more when he noticed she had trapped the magical girl's arms with her beads without him noticing.

"You may be a phony, but this will work nonetheless." She held her bead whip with one hand and a paper seal with the other.

Meteor gaped behind his helmet when Tomoko chanted a few words that sent electricity through her beads and paralyzed the magical girl!

"How… when did you learn to do that?!" he asked.

"One of my uncles lives at San Francisco and has a Chinese antique store, he also makes good chi spells."

"Right." He nodded at her with a sigh, long resigned to her weirdness.

Turning to Magical Girl Sexy Devil who was struggling weakly, the Rider slowly pulled out the Meteor Storm Switch. Swapping it with his Meteor Switch, the Rider glowed a bright golden before he became Kamen Rider Meteor Storm.

"Kamen Rider Meteor Storm, my fate will-" He leapt back as did Tomoko as Magical Girl Sexy Devil screamed and went full demonic! Her eyes became blood red, she gained much larger wings, and a longer devil tail.

"SHUT UP WITH YOUR STUPID CATCH PHRASES! AND JUST DIE! KAY!?" The Magical Girl violently swung her spear out, only to be shocked when his staff intercepted it and calmly knocked it aside.

"Huh…" Tomoko replied flatly before pulling out another paper slip, which she held in one hand along her bead necklace, and then she pulled out a dried up dead lizard with her other hand, "I have a mixed spell, good chi magic combined with the teachings of Japanese priestesses."

"Layman's terms, please." The Rider asked the goth as he put his staff behind his back and extended a hand at the magical girl to counter whatever attack she could do in her new form.

Tomoko didn't miss a beat, "This will blast her good."

"Good enough!" the Rider rushed at the new Magical Girl Sexy Devil, whose wings spread as she soared right at him with murder in her eyes.

"I'm so mad it's sickening!" she roared and delivered a kick at the Rider that he barely blocked, and he felt his staff nearly fly off his hands, before she delivered powerful stinger strikes at the speed of a machine gun's fire rate, "I HATE LOVEY-DOVEY COUPLES LIKE YOU! YOU THINK YOU CAN HAVE HAPPINESS BECAUSE YOU'RE PRETTY! WELL, FLAT CHESTS LIKE I CAN ROCK A MAN'S WORLD TOO!"

"I needn't hear that!" Meteor cried as he managed to swat one of the strikes and send the tip down.

"That won't work again!" she roared and was about to swing it up to slash him across the chest.

She only left herself open when the Rider jumped on the pole of her spear, ran up it to her, and delivered a swift elbow strike to her face before spinning around. With all his might, he delivered a swift strike to her back, trying to get the weak point Tomoko pointed out… He would have nailed it, had a devil tail not sprung from behind her and wrapped around his staff to stop it dead in its tracks!

"Oh come on, this was ridiculous enough at the start!" he complained before the magical girl punched him to get him off her.

"Just shut up and die you lovey-dovey jerk!" She threw another punch, but was surprised when he twisted in midair, grabbing her tail and then slamming her into the ground with it! Coughing in surprise, she was even further shocked when he took his bo-staff in both hands, then swung it up in an arc like a golf club, sending her flying into the air!

"Let's finish this, Tomoko!" the Rider shouted encouraged to his girlfriend, who nodded back.

Spreading her wings to right herself in the air, the magical girl sailed at hem with her spear aimed at them, the tip becoming a drill, "Take this! Empress Devil Drill!" she chanted her attack.

Meteor readied his staff and raced, Tomoko holding up the paper slip and throwing it forward, "As one!" she shouted as the paper flew and crashed against the spear's tip, halting it with an energy field that shocked the devil girl, "Your dark energy makes you more of a devil, but as someone who wanted to be a witch myself, I know what that is like! But I found warmth in knowing I can be the person I am among others! This spell is to protect them from those with dark chi like yours!"

"Got it!" the Rider shouted as he readied the spinning top of his staff.

"SO WHAT!? You'll all die! I won't lose to you both!" Magical Girl Sexy Devil declared as she whirled around more furiously, only to be shocked when the Rider blasted forward!

"This is it! METEOR STORM! PURIFIER!" A new variant of his technique, he whirled like a top himself, a hurricane of energy forming and syphoning her drills power! The dark energy was melded with the seals Tomoko had utilized, slowly purifying them into pure light!

Her jaw dropped as a golden hurricane captured her in its grip! Gale-force winds ripped her life fiber uniform to pieces, sending them flying away and towards Ryūko. High in the sky, the naked blue haired girl weakly reached to the skies above. Only to be shocked when her arm was caught by the Rider, who dropped down to Earth with her in his hands.

Letting her go, she was shocked further when Tomoko draped a black cloth over her body.

The goth girl smiled at her and made the girl blush in both embarrassment and resentment until she heard the girl speak, "Tomoko Nozama… what's your name?"

"E-Edna… Edna Segunda…" The blue haired girl looked to the side, Tomoko smiling at her made her feel weird. She didn't mind it, weirdly enough.

"I liked your choker…" Tomoko started.

Ryusei stared silently, "Why do I feel like I don't fit in here?"

XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX

"Why the shit do I get this drama nonsense while the others are fighting the weirdoes?!" Ryūko roared as her heels clicked while she moved towards her opponent outside her pink mecha.

Dina Saori bowed, "Sorry, but I don't have much choice." She gave her a nervous, apologetic smile.

"Kick her in the taint, babe!" Ikki cheered on the background.

"Oi, we saved your scrawny ass, you could at least tell her to not fight us!" the drifter roared before focusing on the Magical Girl Club member, "So, what's up with you being here?"

Dina's eyes started to tear up, "I already gave you the information about this place and am still forced to follow my duties as a One-Star to keep a good lifestyle…"

Ryūko felt guilt stab her heart, "H-Hey, no need to be so-"

"That's why, in order to not have my collection of dinosaur plushies lost if I become a No-Star, I have to at least fight you!" she said as dramatically as possible, wiping her tears with one hand before pressing a watch on her wrist.

The sound of rockets reached the red-locked girl's ears before Dina's dinosaur suit landed between them, with the tiny girl jumping into the opened cockpit before putting on the large T-Rex head.

Ryūko stared with a blank look on her face, "For real?"

"It appears this is something we must do, Ryūko." Senketsu said seriously, "If she's fighting for something that precious to her, then we must give it our all!"

Ryūko slapped her forehead, "I forgot, my life stopped making sense ever since I stepped into this place and started making friends."

"But you like it, don't you?"

Ryūko couldn't help the smile on her face, "I'd be lying if I said I want to hold back when they are giving it their all."

"I'll also give it my all, because… I like being your friend too!" Dina said, surprising Ryūko, "After all you've done for Ikki-kun and I, let me give you a battle to help you get stronger with my new Dina-Suit Mk. II!"

And with that said and a button pressed, Dina's suit morphed into a mecha!

The drifter girl felt her jaw hit the floor when the tail sprung up and its body righted itself instead of being bent forward like a normal dinosaur. The tail slid up to the tiny arms and split in two to form two large, strong arms with humanoid white metallic hands. The T-Rex's mouth opened itself wide to show a female face with a pair of pouty lips, and the rest of the body morphed too. The legs and chest split open and took more womanly features complete with a breastplate which curvature reminded Ryūko of some giant robot girls from cartoon shows about transforming giant robots. It had a white front and clawed hands, which were lifted into a standard karate stance.

"What the actual crap and a half…?" Ryūko breathed out in disbelief.

"Ryūko-san! Don't hold back on me!" Dina begged from the inside of the suit, making the red locked girl nod slowly as she regained control of herself before the madness she was witnessing.

"I don't hold back against my friends. Because I know you guys can take it! Let's go!" She declared, pulling the pin and transforming! The Kamui wielder silently held her scissor blade in a fashion similar to a fencer, glaring seriously at her opponent.

VS

MAGICAL GIRL CLUB MEMBER

MAGICAL GIRL DINO

DINA SAORI

THE BATTLE TO KEEP HER DINOSAUR COLLECTION IS FORCED TO OCCUR!

"HERE I COME!" Dina Saori ran right at her, her fists coming out in a brutal chop that made the air vibrate. The red locked girl dodged back in a swift roll, her sword's tip shooting through the air and attempting to skewer her opponent!

"Not going to work Ryūko-san!" Dina side-stepped her thrust, punishing the whiff with extreme prejudice. One fist violently impacted the odd-eyed girl's stomach and sent her stumbling back. Shaking her head out slowly, Ryūko gave her opponent a serious glare.

"I'll tell you what will or won't work! Like a Dragon, Scarlet Spirit!" A red aura engulfed the drifter's entire body, before red lightning crackled over her body.

With a swing of her sword she split the air in two, making Dina dodge back, only to be shocked when her opponent followed her in that same motion! Ryūko aggressively kept coming, thus rendering her attempts to dodge meaningless, this was achieved by running right at her and attacking even more fiercely and making the air sing with the force of her swings.

"More… More! I feel it, an odd warmth in you, Ryūko! It's not anger or hatred, it's a pleasant warmth that makes us enjoy this fight!" Senketsu cheered.

Ryūko smirked at her partner, "That's because for once this feels like a battle that doesn't involve people being little shits! For once it feels like a fair fight with a good friend!"

As she clashed her sword against one of the robot suit's arms, Dina moved the blade aside and threw a punch at Ryūko that sent her falling down, "Alright, Ikki-kun's boxing lessons on parry and counter are working!"

Ryūko got up with a smirk, "Heh… She's so happy doing her best… even if she's threatened… There is no way I can't enjoy something like this, even with all the ridiculous Transformer crap!"

"Ryūko… You're right. There's nothing better than fighting like this! It's nice to fight someone without hatred or anger in your heart!"

She swiped her nose, spinning her scissor blade around in an arc as she agreed with her Kamui, "Hell yeah it is! Dina! Get ready! We're stepping it up a bit! Like a Dragon, Scarlet Spear!"

Shooting forward in a charge, the red locked girl surprised her opponent when she dodged to the side by whirling herself and swinging her blade in an arc, smacking Dina with the flat sword of the blade. Knocked a little off balance, Dina shook her head out slowly only to be punched several times in the face! Bullet jabs flew into her head, Ryūko stealing some of Takaharu's moves and adding them into her repertoire just as easily as Gentaro had done for Satsuki and Sanageyama.

Said green monkey was grinning like a madman, "Dammit, the more I see them fight, the more I can't decide whether I want to take Kisaragi or Matoi down myself!"

Dina for her part retaliated by grabbing the drifter by a leg and slamming her on the floor. Ryūko was shocked from the strike and the sudden move, gasping for breath as spit flew from her mouth. She, however, gritted her teeth as the large pink mecha approached her and lifted its arms over its head for a double hammer slam.

"Majestic Slam!" Dina shouted as she brought down her mecha's arms with all its might.

"Shit!" Ryūko cursed as she avoided the strike.

Quickly twirling her legs, she used a move that was basically half a dance and half a kicking motion to roll backwards. She out of the way and ended on her knees to see a crater where she had been thanks to Dina's newest suit's fists. The dino-mecha stood up and took a stance, with three claws extending into deadly blades on each wrist. Two other blades grew from the feet to make her kicks that much more dangerous.

"Queenly Claws!" the small girl called out from inside her mecha.

Ryūko held her sword with both hands and a grin, "Heh, you're gonna need more than fancy names to be queen. You may own that raccoon freak's ass, but that's the only thing you're ruling over."

Dina puffed her cheeks cutely inside her mecha, "Oh, that's it! I… I will show you I can be queen of the dinosaurs like I own Ikki in…" she went silent as she realized what she said, her mecha's hands covering its emotionless face in shame, "Ah! Why did you make me say that?!"

Ryūko blinked, "I just… feel like a shit."

"You did take it too far, Ryūko."

"Right, right… Well! Let's go! Can't make an omelet without breaking a few eggs after all! Or however that American saying from Scanty and Kneesocks goes!" Ryūko shook her head slowly, gripping her Scissor Blade before she ran right at Dina in a seemingly reckless charge!

"That won't work Ryūko-san!" Dina tried to kick her in the face, only for the red locked girl to gain a huge grin, grabbing her leg and flipping over it! In that same movement, her own high-heeled foot slammed into the dinosaur fanatic's face! Completing the picture-perfect kick by slamming Dina into the ground, Ryūko performed a quick roll and landed on her feet as her Scissor Blade was swung rapidly in her hand.

Ikki didn't like seeing his girlfriend losing, but, "Hmph, can't fight since I'm not part of this club…." A smirk crossed his face when he looked at the drifter, and so he shouted, "Get her in the ass, babe, it's too big to miss!"

"Hey!" the red locked girl snapped, "At least mine's not as big as that heavy-browed bitch at the top of this school!"

Ikki grinned and crossed his arms cockily, "My babe's and Satsuki-sama's are at least proportionate and nice, but my babe's is better than yours."

And that… made Dina happy, "You think I really have got a good body?"

He beamed, "You're the prettiest, no questions asked, babe! One reason I dated you is because you were cute, but now to me no woman can compete with your beauty! This fat bottomed floozy can't keep up with you!"

"Hey! Focus on the fight! And I don't have a fat bottom! Nice Queen reference by the way jackass! Try talking to your Killer Queen up in her ivory tower some time!" Ryūko snapped back, looking pissed off at Ikki until Dina coughed.

"Right! Time to stop holding back Ryūko-san!" She bowed, even as a powerful primal aura enveloped her, an earthy brown power that made the red locked girl flare up herself. Red crackling energy surrounded the drifter's body before the two crouched down low.

They stood stock still for a few moments, before two blurs shot out against the field, flashes of red and brown echoing out across the entire campus grounds as the two fought faster than the naked eye could see. Shockwaves met every time the Kamui wielder's blade met her opponent's claws or feet, the two fighting as hard as they could across the very surface of the ground.

"Aim for her tits, babe!" Ikki cheered, "They're so flabby it should hurt!"

Instantly, Ryūko jumped back and was ready to finish the skinny boy's life, "Bastard, shut your pie-!" and she was flung back with an upper-cut!

"Alright, thanks sweetie!" Dina cheered as Ryūko crashed into the roof and remained there for a bit in a crater shaped like her body.

Senketsu shuddered as he felt his and Ryūko's bodies shiver in anger, "Your blood's getting spicier, Ryūko, if he keeps getting to you we won't last long!"

"I know, but he keeps comparing me to Two-Ton Brows!" she snapped.

Senketsu was growing worried, but an idea came to mind, a risky one, "Well, do you think Gentaro would say that to you?"

Ryūko was shocked but answered quickly, "The Hell?! Of course not, what're you even saying?!"

Senketsu would've grinned if he could, "That's it! You know he wouldn't care how you look, and you know he accepted us the instant he saw you wearing me without shame or fear! If that one guy welcomes you regardless of whatever flaws Ikki says you have, why should you worry?"

Looking down at the cheerful Dina and Ikki firing her up more, Ryūko grinned, "Heh… Not that much different from those two… Alright, thanks for reminding me to not be an idiot, Senketsu."

"That's what friends are for," he said and narrowed his eyes, "now let's finish this!"

Ryūko yanked her arms off the crater and jumped off the roof right at Dina, who gasped, "You still got some fight?! Well, so do I after listening to my sweetie's words!" her mecha's arms were combined into a single tail, which grew sharp spikes before spinning as a monstrous drill, "This is it, my ultimate technique! Giga… TYRANO… BREAKER!"

"Going all out are we?! THEN I WON'T HOLD BACK EITHER! Like a Dragon, Scarlet… Sliver!" Holding her Scissor Blade with both hands, Ryūko positioned the blade like she was playing billiards with the tip, moments before she stabbed forward with enough force to make the air briefly pop!

Both scissor blade and drill connected! Creating a small bubble of energy that rapidly expanded, the two being engulfed by red and purple light! Lightning crackled and snapped around them both, making it hard to see who the victor would be.

Until Ryūko skid to a halt, her heels leaving a trail with sparks as Dina flew off her mecha, crying a couple of tears as she screamed quite girly and cutely with her fists near her chin! Her large robot dinosaur girl blew up into red threads, which Senketsu absorbed into his body before the girl landed in her worried boyfriend's arms.

"Babe, you all right?!" he was clearly concerned, he even looked terrified.

Dina blushed as she covered her body, and Ikki was quick to use his jacket to cover her naked form, "Y-Yeah, sweetie… Sorry I lost."

He beamed, "Nah, babe, you did great! I'm glad I got a girl who gives a fight even if she's scared!"

She blushed and hugged him, "And I love a boy who can be tough but also a real sweetie!"

The drifter watched everything dryly, "Ugh… such sweetness is going to make my teeth hurt."

"We won, though? Isn't that what counts?"

Shaking her head with her gloved hand on her forehead, she answered, "I know, but it doesn't feel like I won… Dammit, now I feel aware of how single I still am."

"You got Gentaro, though."

"D-Don't say nonsense!"

In the end, could it really be called a victory?

Heyo folks! Been a while, yeah? I'm going to say that I understand how some writers get really busy sometimes and don't update for a while.

I'm sorry for the wait and I won't make excuses beyond the necessary. For one my brother had a baby so my family and I went out to see him. Supremely cute kid by the way and I love him immensely.

Secondly I've also been busy with school again which is lame as many of you can probably guess. But onto the next bit of real drama.

My mother had a minor stroke and has been dealing with that, the good news she's better now and is in far better health than ever before and has quit smoking to boot. And finally, my maternal grandmother, my last real grandparent anyway, died of Alzheimer's taking its toll on her poor little body. So that's been really rough but she was going for a long time anyway.

But all that drama is in the past for me, and I'm finally back to writing. Thank my eternal big brother The Swordslinger for kicking me in the pants to get this out and get the next chapter out much sooner. And aren't we just a pair of assholes, splitting it off here and leaving the big fight for next chapter? Well, we saw that the chapter was getting very long already, so we thought it best.

So for now, this is The Lord Of Pages, off to record another chapter!

As usual, I'll let The Swordslinger regale you with an Omake with the Kisaragi family!

The Kisaragi Family Pt. 8 – Badass Grandad and Kusanagi Flames!

In the neon lights streets of Tokyo is where we can find none other than Goro Kisaragi walking back home with his hands full with plastic bags. He was humming a merry tune as he moved through the busy streets of a business district and decided to try a shortcut. Even in his old age, he was capable of take care of himself. And making fun of his biker attire and his age at the same time would never end nicely for anyone.

However, he was surprised by what he saw, "Huh, is that…?" he blinked and then tilted his head to the side as a large man in a suit with a katana flew over his shoulder.

Before him was a single person beating up more men in suits without breaking a sweat. Turns out that it was a young Japanese man with his brown hair set in a mop around his scalp. He wore a very stylish white jacket, black pants, and had a handsome round face. And he had little to no trouble at beating up bigger men that were obviously yakuza.

"No way…" they youth started when seeing him, "Uncle?"

Goro grinned, "Kyo-chan, how's it been?" he waved while the teen ducked under a knife that was aimed at the back of his head before he slammed his elbow firmly on his attacker's face.

"Bit busy, uncle!" he said before kicking another man on the face while Goro approached him with all the patience in the world, like nothing was wrong.

"I see you still use your father's teachings well, Kyo." Goro started, beaming at the young man, "Your father, my nephew, would certainly be proud to see the Kusanagi clan rest in your hands."

Kyo grinned and punched one of the yakuza in the face before using the same fist to backhand one more in a split second, "Thanks, uncle Goro! How's Gentaro doing? You teaching him well your own Kisaragi Street Style?"

Goro chuckled, "The lad's good, he's got practice, and you can call me Grunkle. I've heard kids call their grand uncles that lately, and it'd make me feel hip."

Kyo chuckled nervously, even as he kneed another yakuza in the face, "That's a bit… awkward."

Goro laughed, "Hahaha, that's Kyo-chan, alright! You sure get flustered easily, like when you're with that cutie you're dating!"

Kyo rubbed the back of his head, snickering sheepishly, "Yeah, but come on, don't tease me when I'm dealing with some of Rugal's lackeys."

"Hmm?" Goro turned serious, "Is that man back? Do you wish to seek my help? I'd like to pay him back for what he did to my nephew."

A far larger yakuza walked behind the man, holding a large sledgehammer, "Stop thinking we're just background characters, geezer!"

He swung it down… and the other yakuza and Kyo stopped fighting when Goro turned around in a split second and punched the hammer's head so hard it shattered to pieces! The large suited man that had stood behind the old biker felt his jaw reach for the floor as he let go of the handle.

And then Goro turned to Kyo like nothing happened, smiling, "Do you want some help? We can go and grab a bite, and you could introduce me to your girlfriend."

Kyo grew flustered, "Please, uncle, don't! You always end up teasing every couple in the family! It'd be awkward…"

Goro laughed, "Well, I was the same with your parents, and they couldn't have been happier when they had you! Ahahaha!"

Kyo sighed while the yakuza grew afraid of the insanely strong old man.

Needless to say, even when having a normal conversation nothing could be completely normal with them.
