Toa Solaric: I don't own either Code Geass or Kamen Rider Zangetsu! How is it going, everyone? It's been a while since I've updated this story in a while.
Code Geass: Lelouch of Divine Providence
Ch16: A Visit of European Union!
In an abandoned factory, Zangetsu-Shin wandering around careful as he looking for something before he hears a movement and turns to see a cat roaming around the area.
That doesn't seem right… Zangetsu-Shin thought.
Suddenly he turns around immediately before seeing Sigurd with Sonic Arrow in hand charging at him. Zangetsu-Shin got out his Sonic Arrow before unleashed as the two Sonic Arrow collided with each other and creating sparks everywhere.
Sigurd then jumps backward before pulling the string of his Sonic Arrow and fired couples of energy arrows.
But Zangetsu-Shin brought up his Sonic Arrow and swing to defend against the arrows before retaliation next.
However, Sigurd turns into a blur before running through the factory to avoid the shoots. Zangetsu-Shin soon activated a function on the Sonic Arrow which happened to be a laser point tracer and he focused in on Sigurd who appeared on the bridge above him then fired.
Sigurd turns around to see an energy shaped melon in the air before burst into multiple arrows and struck him in the air. This cause him falling off the bridge and hits the wooden boxes below.
Zangetsu-Shin soon approach the wooden boxes before Sigurd came out with Sonic Arrow against his neck. But Sigurd notices something sharp against his chest armor and glances down at Zangetsu-Shin's Sonic Arrow.
"It looks like it a tie." Sigurd said.
"Yes, I think so." Zangetsu-Shin said before closing his Energy Lockseed. "Thanks for testing the Genesis Driver."
"It's nothing, My Lord." Sigurd said before closing his Energy Lockseed to revert back to Jeremiah. "The power of Genesis Driver is quite amazing… I am surprised that you got it repaired."
"It was nothing. Beside I finally got what I need to know about the Genesis Driver and the Energy Lockseed. You can keep Sigurd's armor." Lelouch said, making Jeremiah look surprised.
"Are you sure, My Lord?" Jeremiah asked.
"Yes after helping keep tabs on Cornelia and Euphemia for me, I think you deserved it." Lelouch said.
"Thanks you, My Lord." Jeremiah said.
(Play GET MY FUTURE!)

Samayotteta setsunai kokoro
In his room, Rai holds tightly on the black Orange Lockseed tightly as a memories of young girl flash in his mind. Soon the screen turns toward Yami Gaim and he holds tightly on his Daidaimaru while looking at the viewers.

The scene changes to Helheim forest and shows Jam with dark aura.
Doko e mo ikenai jibun ga

Soon the scene changes to the Black Knight headquarter as the operative members monitor event going on.
Sore demo yume ni miteta
As the Inves got closed to them, Lelouch and his fellow Riders got out their Drivers. They soon locked their Lockseeds into their Drivers before they transformed and charge into battle.
Haruka tōku taiyō no shizumu oto ga suru
The Lancelot Club is seen race across the field while taking out large Inves and Britannia Knightframes at the same. Soon the scene focused on Zangetsu running at incredible speed slashing through Britannian soldiers and Inves alike while explosions occur around him.
Ano basho e yukō Sekai no hate made
Suddenly he becomes Zangetsu-Shin before getting out his Sonic Arrow and deliver a powerful slash to destroy an unknown Knightframe.

To Be Free
The scene change to Lelouch and Ayano were walking together, then they turned around facing the screen, then it zooms out revealing Rai, Kallen, Nunnally, Orpheus and Akito along with several members of Black Knights.
(The following morning- Ashford Academy)
In the Lamperouge residence, Lelouch, Nunnally, and Ayano are currently eating breakfast together.
"Hmm… It strange." Nunnally said.
"What is it, Nunna-chan?" Ayano asked.
"It's been a few days since the cultural festival and Milly haven't strike back at you two for what happened." Nunnally said.
"Now you mention that is a little odd… Since I expect she might try to get revenge on us." Ayano said.
"Even so, I don't think we will have to worry about it." Lelouch said, eating his cereal calmly.
"How can you be sure?" Ayano asked.
"I think she have her hand full when it comes to dealing against the arranged marriage her parents set up for her." Lelouch said. Like Milly, Lelouch never like Milly's parents because they will do anything to get back into nobility.
Speaking of idiots… Ayano thought, thinking of a previous conversation with Suzaku.
(Flashback- Yesterday)
Suzaku brought them onto the rooftop of the academy.
"So… Suzaku, are you still upset against us about the blackmail announcements we made?" Ayano asked.
"Not really… I guess we really deserved that after ruining your date." Suzaku said. "But that isn't what I want to talk about."
"So Suzaku," Lelouch said. "What did you want to talk to us about?"
"Guys…" Suzaku have a hesitated expression before spoke up to Lelouch. "Tell me… Lelouch, do you still have grudge against Britannia?"
"Where is this going?" Lelouch asked with a raised eyebrow.
"Just please answer the question, Lelouch." Suzaku said, clench his fists, "Do you still desire to take down your own father and defeat Britannia?"
"Do I still have the desire to defeat Britannia?" Lelouch spoke and then smiled, "Who knows? Zangetsu and the Black Knights have been making quite an impact lately against Britannia."
This made Suzaku flinched before regain his composition.
"The reason I ask is because I'm concern for you guys." Suzaku said.
"Why?" Ayano asked, tiled her head to the side.
"I know you guys don't have any faith in Britannia… it just… it's just that even with that, I don't want you to be taken in so easily if someone was to get you to join them in taking on Britannia. First it's foolish and secondly, I know it's a lot to ask but is there a chance to believe that thing can change for the better with Britannia?"
"You're paranoid about us joining the Black Knights?" Ayano asked.
"It just that I don't want either of you joining with Zangetsu just for revenge against your families but let me tell you, getting revenge is never the answer. Sure you may feel satisfied at the moment, but it will leave you empty inside and I don't want you guys go through with that and I don't want Nunnally to suffered if something happened to either of you because you chose that empty and pointless path. Please get rid of any ideas, any thoughts of getting revenge against Britannia and please if Zangetsu appears before you and offers you to join, you must refuse."
"So is that it?" Lelouch asked, "You called us up here for that?"
"I just want to get it off my chest. I know you guys have grudge against Britannia for everything… but I do have faith," Suzaku said, "I do believe that if one works to change things from within, Britannia can be so much better and if that happens, I'm sure that you guys will have faith in Britannia again."
Lelouch sighed. "You amazed me Suzaku…"
"Lelouch, so that means you—" Suzaku responded being hopeful.
"You amaze me of how utterly naïve you really are," Lelouch interjected.
"What?" Suzaku was taken back and didn't like what he had just heard. He then looks at Ayano who been quiet most of the time.
"Ayano, can you speak some sense into Lelouch?" Suzaku asked. He thought with Ayano back, Lelouch won't seek revenge against his former homeland.
"You honestly think that you are the only one who can changes Britannia from within? Or… is this about what happened between you and your father?" Ayano asked, causing Suzaku flinched, "You do regret of killing him, that you've joining Britannia to run away from your own people."
"That is not true! If I didn't then he will ordered the execution, he is just like Zangetsu!" Suzaku argued.
Ayano can't help feel angry, but she felt a hand on her shoulder and looks at Lelouch.
"It's not worthy arguing with him." Lelouch said before looking at Suzaku. "I can't believe I am going to say this… that you puts up with this childish notion of Britannia changes made me pity you because it shows you haven't grown up, so you can't see the big picture." He said sadly before he and Ayano walked away.
This causes Suzaku to gritting his teeth and clenched his fists in frustration.
(Present)
One way or another... I have to put him out of pilot Knighframe, Lelouch thought.
"By the way, Onii-sama… how did you finds out about Rivalz singing in the shower?" Nunnally asked, curious. This got Lelouch out of his thought before have a sly expression on his face.
"Well, it was a long story, Nunnally. You see... I accidently caught Rivalz singing in the bathroom in the club house when no one was around. Though I didn't told him about it." Lelouch said. But the true story is Lelouch come back home on his patrol on Inves one night and accidently hearing Rivalz singing from the shower room.
"Too bad that Rivalz never gone in front of television…" Ayano chuckled.
"I bet he could be a star." Nunnally joke in awe.
Lelouch about to say something, but his cellphone start ranging and got out his pocket as his eyes wide when it comes to the Caller ID.
"What's the urging?" Lelouch asked.
"Sorry to call since it been a while. But I need your help in the E.U. – Helheim flora been increasing unusually high here." Akito said.
"Hang on, I will come right away." Lelouch said before closing his cellphone.
"Who was that, Onii-sama?" Nunnally asked.
"My friend in the E.U. need my help with something and I won't be back for a while." Lelouch said before getting up from his chair and getting his jacket.
"Oh, I see. Please be carefully, Onii-sama." Nunnally said.
Lelouch was about to head for the door before Ayano grab him by his shoulder.
"Wait, Lelouch. Let me go with you." Ayano said with a serious expression.
"Are you sure? I know that the E.U. would bring back bad memory for you." Lelouch said quiet.
"But I can't let you go alone and I know how the streets in E.U. works." Ayano said. Beside she want to talk with Akito even since she saw him in Helheim because she want to know why her fellow kinsmen willing to serves the military.
Lelouch sighed. "Alright. We will have to take my bike there." He said.
Ayano sweatdropped. "Lelouch, it take me few days on ship to come back to Japan. How are we going to E.U. on a motorcycle?" she asked with deadpanned expression.
Lelouch facepalmed. He know that he forget something very important. "I can't believe that I forget to tell you…"
(In the E.U.)
Kamuro spins his weapon around to block the incoming fireballs coming from the Shika Inves as he charging toward them. Once he got close, he soon start slashing them as sparks flying off of their chests right now.
"SOIYA! SILVER SQUASH!"
Kamuro's weapon glow before he impaled two Shika Inves and slashed the third one in half as they exploded in the process.
Two children seem to be crying as Elementary Inves are coming close to them until Idunn rushing through them as she ramming them with her shield and then pressing down her Cutting Blade once.
"COME ON! RINGO SQUASH!"
Idunn's Sword Bringer starts glowing and slashing the Elementary Inves several times before they exploded in the process. She then approached the children before knee down to look at them.
"Don't worry, I will get you two to safety. Please followed me." Idunn said.
The two children soon accompanied Idunn before they got out of the battle zone. Soon Idunn returns and saw Kamuro is handling against numerous of Inves right now.
"Hang on…!" Idunn shout before throwing her Apple Reflector like a boomerang. The Apple Reflector soon flying in the air before destroying number of Inves.
But more Inves are coming crawling in the place of their fallen kinsmen as the Inves emerged from the Crack from above. Just when things are going gloomy, Kamuro hears the sound of motorcycle before turns to see Lelouch and Ayano on his Sakura Hurricane as they came down.
"I see, you made it." Kamuro said.
What is a Britannian doing here? Idunn thought confused.
Lelouch stares at Idunn for a moment before looking at Kamuro. He knows he can wait for explanation later since they have something else to deal with.
"It looks like we come to the party." Lelouch said, taking off his helmet and seeing the number of the Inves.
"But what about Idunn?" Ayano asked, stares warily at the red apple theme Rider.
"I'm sure we can save it after we deal with the Crack." Lelouch said.
"Lelouch, you go on ahead." Ayano said, gets off the bike and removing her helmet before she pukes in a nearby trashcan.
Lelouch got out his Genesis Driver before placing on his waist and getting out his Melon Energy Lockseed.
"MELON ENERGY!"
Soon a crack opens above Lelouch's head and coming down was the Melon Energy Arms.
"Henshin..." Lelouch said before placing it into his Genesis Driver.
"SODA~! MELON ENERGY ARMS!"
The Melon Energy Arms soon descend onto Lelouch's head before his bodysuit materialized and the Melon Energy Arms transformed into his armor as Zangetsu-Shin with Sonic Arrow appeared in his hand.
"What in the world is that form?!" Idunn asked with shocked expression.
Zangetsu-Shin charges forward before pulling back the string of his Sonic Arrow and firing shots at the Inves. He then spins his Sonic Arrow around before start slashing the Inves as the beasts of the Helheim coming toward him.
"You are in my way…" Zangetsu-Shin said before pushed the lever of his Genesis Driver.
"SODA~! MELON ENERGY SQUASH!"
With energy glowing around the blade part of the Sonic Arrow, Zangetsu-Shin swung the weapon to unleashed green energy wave to destroyed number of Inves in instantly.
After Ayano start feeling better from her puking in the trashcan and getting herself up, she got out her Driver and places on her waist then getting out her Lockseed.
"BLUEBERRY!"
"Henshin!" Ayano shout.
"SOIYA! BLUEBERRY ARMS! AMENO GOMEN!"
After the Blueberry Arms descend down to her head and forming her armor as Habakiri, she charge forward to help dealing against the Inves.
She starts off with slashing the Inves that she came across. When she was about to handle against a Kamikiri Inves, but Idunn step in before slashing the Inves with her Sword Bringer and looks at her.
The two female Riders stare hard at each other before Habakiri was the first one to spoke up.
"I don't need your help." Habakiri retorted cold before running passed Idunn.
Idunn wasn't sure, but she was surprised Habakiri just given her the cold shoulders as she watched her run passed her before getting out a different Lockseed.
"PINE!"
"SOIYA! PINE ARMS! FUNSAI DESTROY!"
Habakiri soon donned her Pine Arms and got out the Pine Iron and starts swing around as she thrashing several Inves in the process.
Zangetsu-Shin continued swings his Sonic Arrow at his enemies before reaching to Kamuro who seem to have a struggling against a bull like Inves.
"My turn…" Kamuro said.
"SOIYA! SILVER SPARKING!"
Kamuro charges forward before impaled the bull like Inves multiple times until the Inves exploded in the process.
"You guys better stay back…" Zangetsu-Shin replied calm.
Zangetsu-Shin got out his Melon Energy Lockseed from his Driver and insert it into his Sonic Arrow.
"LOCK ON…!"
Zangetsu-Shin then move back the string of his Sonic Arrow as energy gathering at the tip of the Sonic Arrow before moving up into the air and he released the string immediately.
"MELON ENERGY!"
Suddenly a large energy like melon was form above the air and released the barrage of hundreds of arrows raining down on the Inves as they exploded.
"Whoa…" Kamuro comment quiet.
"That is an overkill…" Idunn gawked.
Soon the Crack suddenly vanished immediately, Zangetsu-Shin then places his Energy Lockseed back onto his belt and canceled his transformation.
"It's been a while, Akito." Lelouch greeted politely.
Habakiri closed her Lockseed before joining with Lelouch's side before they looks at Kamuro and Idunn.
"No way… h-he is a Britannian?" Idunn said, sounding speechless and disbelief.
"You shouldn't be surprised since you are a Britannian as well, am I corrected?" Lelouch remarked with a smirk.
"Umm… how did you-" Idunn stuttered.
"He does have your intelligence, Commander." Kamuro answered before closing his Lockseed and reversal back to his original form.
Idunn soon closed her Lockseed as her armor vanished and revealed Leila in her place. The two soon joins Lelouch and Ayano.
"Lt. Hyuga, can you introduce your friend?" Leila asked with a calm tone.
Akito sighed. "This is Lelouch Lamperouge, he is someone I meet sometime in the past. And Lelouch, you already know this is Commander Malkal." Akito said. Though he doesn't know who is Lelouch's female companion was.
"It's nice to finally meet you in person, Leila Malkal." Lelouch said. "And this is Ayano Kosaka, Kamen Rider Habakiri."
"How do you do?" Ayano asked calm.
"It's nice to meet you… Mr. Lamperouge." Leila said before her expression turns serious. "As much I want to ask, I believes it would best that we don't talk out here in public."
Lelouch stares at Leila with a serious expression. "I would have to agree as well." Lelouch said. "Especially I want to know how you gain that armor of yours."
Unknown to them, a pair of black hooded watching them from top of building.
"So the leader of Black Knights here…" The taller black cloak said.
"We need to report this to Lord Jam before we continued our mission to catch Leila Malkal." The small black cloak concluded.
Their Lord is currently interested in Leila because of her compatible with the Ringo Lockseed that didn't causes her mutated like the unfortunately users.
(Back in Black Knights' hideout)
Kallen take out a bottle of water as she drinking the contain itself. She just gone on break after teaching new recruits about pilot Knightframes.
There haven't any new missions for the Black Knights issued by their leader or Kyoto group. But they decides this is a good opportunity of training new recruits and getting more resource for the organization.
Man, those new recruits really have long way to go… Kallen thought to herself.
"So those are the Black Knights' famous Kamen Riders…" a new recruit said.
Kallen turns around and seeing Yami Gaim sparring with Kurokage in what looks like a makeshift battlefield.
Kurokage try to impaled Yami Gaim with his Kagematsu, but Yami Gaim simply dodged the attacks with incredible speed before start a counterattack which send the Pinecone theme Kamen Rider flying backward.
"Rai…" Kallen said, looking at the black samurai Rider. She can't help notices his fighting style is similar to Lelouch's when dealing against Kurokage.
She was thinking about when Orpheus come to her and told her about something happening to Rai. When Rai fight as Yami Gaim, he get power backlash and visions of his own past. At first, she didn't believe it but she saw it for themselves. This causes Kallen to become increasing worry for the silver haired teen than before.
What is happening to you, Rai? Is there something about your armor different from ours? Kallen thought with confused. Too bad that Lelouch wasn't here to help solved the mystery about Rai's strange power.
"Hey Kallen." A familiar voice calling her out of her thought and she saw the person who she was thinking about earlier. This causes Kallen to jump backward in surprised of the white hair teen who appeared in front of her.
"W-when did you get up here?" Kallen questioned slight startled.
"Well, you didn't pay any attention when I approach you." Rai said. "So what troubling you?"
"I should be asking you. Does the backlash hurt?" The red hair girl asked.
"It's kind of hurt… but I am going to get uses to it as I continued fighting in my armor." Rai said. "Because I can see fragment of my pasts in them… Though…"
"Though what?" Kallen asked with confused expression.
"For some reason, I couldn't even see my father's face clear in these visions." Rai admit.
"I guess there is a big drawback to these visions then." Kallen remarked.
But I still want to know who my father is… Rai thought. Even though he already know the names of both his mother and little sister, he still want to know who his father could be.
"Kallen! Rai!" Ohgi said, hurry toward them.
"Ohgi, what is it?" Kallen asked.
"I've just got word from Shinjuku that there are sightings of Inves nearby. I want you two to investigate it." Ohgi explains with serious expression, handling Kallen the map.
"Alright!" Kallen and Rai said in union before heading out of the hideout immediately. The two got their LockVehicle Lockseeds and summoned their rides before heading off.
It wasn't long until they stop at the place on the map that Ohgi given to them and start looking around the street.
Soon Kallen find the first clue when spotting Helheim vine growing on the wall. She approach the wall and studied them carefully.
"It looks like we're getting close." Kallen said.
Rai nodded before they continued onward to find any clues. But it wasn't until they hears bestial sound to see Elementary Inves emerging out of the alley and giving their unique 'greeting'.
Both Rai and Kallen rolling out of the way, Kallen pulling out her gun as she pulled the trigger to fire couple of shoots at them.
Rai deliver a roundhouse kick at an Elementary Inves before taking an abandoned car tire and throws at the second Inves.
"Time we start some cleaning." Kallen said.
She and Rai got out their Sengoku Drivers then getting out their Lockseeds.
"BANANA!"
"BLACK ORANGE!"
Cracks open above their heads and their respective fruit appear out of the Cracks as they goes into their pose.
"Henshin!" They shout before locked their Lockseeds in and pushed down the Cutting Blades at the same time.
"COME ON! BANANA ARMS! KNIGHT OF SPEAR!"
"SOIYA! BLACK ORANGE ARMS! KUROMICHI ON STAGE!"
Soon their respective bodysuits form and their armor is complete, the two Riders charge forward with their weapons materialized in their hands before clashing against the Elementary Inves right now.
Yami Gaim pulled out his Musou Saber and Daidaimaru before slashing the Elementary Inves while Baron impaled others Inves with her Banaspear.
Soon, Yami Gaim combined both of his weapons to form the Naginata mode and spins his weapon to blocking the incoming fireballs at them.
Baron soon spins her Banaspear around and slashing the Inves then pushed her Cutting Blade.
"Get out of the way, Yami Gaim." Baron warned to her comrade.
"COME ON! BANANA SQUASH!"
Yami Gaim soon jumps out of the way when Baron swing her Banaspear to slash away the Inves and causing them to explode.
"I think that is all—" Before Yami Gaim could finished, the two hears footsteps and turn around as they saw what looks like a black hooded figure approaching them.
"Who in the world are you?" Baron asked.
"So you two are the famous Kamen Riders here. Then this will be fun hunt." The black hooded figure mused with a grin.
"Who are you?" Yami Gaim asked.
"It time for your execution… Especially yours, Black samurai." The black cloak figure said in a female voice before taking out a Genesis Driver and places on her waist.
"What the hell!?" Baron exclaimed. "There is another Genesis Driver already!?"
"So that mean you are a Genesis Rider too…"
The black hooded figure got out an energy Lockseed with dragonfruit on it.
"DRAGONFRUIT ENERGY!"
A different techno tune other than Sigurd's and Zangetsu-Shin's played as a Crack opened up from above and a metallic dragon fruit descended down before the black hooded figure locked the Lockseed in place on the Genesis Driver.
"LOCK ON!"
"…Henshin!" The black hooded figure said calm.
"SODA~! DRAGONFRUIT ENERGY ARMS!"
The rest of the tune played and the Dragon Energy Arms landed on her before opened up like Mango Arms for Baron. A Ride Wear suit formed over the unknown figure's body with the design similar to Baron's with silver chainmail material on the torso, but was black in where Baron's was red. The opened part of the Dragon Energy Arms moved further to her back, forming a pair of cape-like attachments while the shoulder armors folded up and the chest plate folded down. All was red like dragon fruit skin and modeled after the said fruit. The helmet was revealed, revealing a black helmet with two horns on the front, four slit eyepieces, a silver mouth similar to Yami Gaim's, and a dragon fruit-theme piece attached on the back, with two prominent spikes on each side. With a splash, the Sonic Arrow appeared in her hand.
"I am Genesis Rider… Tyrant." The new Genesis Rider introduced herself.
"Be careful, Baron. We don't know how powerful she is." Yami Gaim said. He knows from experience about the power of Genesis Rider after his first encounter with Sigurd, he vowed to not make the same mistake again.
"You too." Baron said, not wanting to be reminded of what happened when Sigurd kicked her ass to the trashcan which wasn't funny.
Yami Gaim, Baron, and Tyrant waited for who is making the first move before they all charge forward.
(With Lelouch and others)
Lelouch and others soon head for a private motel that Leila recommended for their private talk.
"Looks safe enough…" Ayano observed, looking around the room carefully.
Soon Lelouch and Leila sit down on chairs on opposite side of the table.
"So I take it that Akito explains to you about the ruins in Helheim and what happened if you ate the fruit from there." Lelouch started.
Leila nodded. "Yes, I'm quite shocked by what I witness in the forest and understand why you and Akito kept it a secret... Though I don't understand why a Britannian would goes against his own country?" she asked, curious.
"I'm pretty much sick of how Britannia treats others, but my grudge mainly is against the Britannian Emperor himself. I supposed it the same goes for you." Lelouch said.
"Perhaps. But I was expecting the one who lead the Black Knights… to be older." Leila remarked. Not to mention that Lelouch looks like he in High school right now.
"That goes same goes for you." Lelouch remarked, smirking.
Akito stare at his fellow kinsmen who sitting beside Lelouch. "So how do you know Lelouch?" Akito asked, curious.
"I know Lelouch since we were little and that was the time before those Britannia bastards invade our homeland." Ayano answered, crossing her arms.
"How long and where did you get Idunn's Driver?" Lelouch asked.
"A few weeks after Akito shows me what inside the forest. Though the previous one got ill because of this Lockseed." Leila answered with firm expression, taking out the Ringo Lockseed. "I didn't want to use this at first after knowing what happened to the previous user, eventually I made my decision."
"But why aren't you affect by it?" Ayano asked confused. "Umm…Won't you become an Inves already?"
"That is something we still haven't figure out." Akito said. "I think it might be compatibility that Commander was able to survive or his doing."
"That is a unique possibility…" Lelouch said.
"So I take it that you encounter Idunn as well?" Akito asked.
"Yes..." Lelouch said. Even Ayano seem to be quiet as well.
Leila stares at the two carefully especially Ayano. She remember Ayano giving her the cold shoulder earlier in the fight. Could it be that she is angry at her for being a Britannian or something to do with Idunn armor she possessed now?
"Anyway, what is that Driver you were using earlier?" Leila asked curious. "I never seen it before."
"Me neither." Akito added.
"It call a Genesis Driver and it can only be used with Energy Lockseed, commonly known as artificial Lockseeds. We recently discovered them earlier." Lelouch explains.
"Yeah, we still don't know how many of them are there." Ayano added.
"How powerful are the Energy Lockseeds?" Akito asked, curious.
"I would say… S-ranks. I could make a prediction that a Genesis Rider can destroyed Knightframes with no problems." Lelouch said.
"I see, so they're really powerful." Leila comment in awe. She can imagine the destruction if Britannia could create if they have a massive army of Genesis Rider.
"Akito, you mention that Helheim flora been increasing a lot lately here… Do you guys have any idea on what the cause could be?" Lelouch asked.
"The only thing I could think are those two Riders been harassing us." Leila said, serious expression.
"Two more Riders…? Are they Genesis Riders?" Ayano asked. Akito shook his head.
"No. Their Rider titles are Gridon and Bravo. One uses Durian Arms and other one using Donguri Arms." Akito said.
"Can you described their personality?" Lelouch asked.
"Bravo is quite skillful with his two swords and fought hothead while Gridon being the genius especially when it comes to hacking software." Leila said.
"Akito, I need to have a word with you… in privately." Lelouch said.
"Why can't you talk with us?" Leila asked, confused.
"Yeah, what's up?" Ayano asked, confused.
"If I know Lelouch well, it something between me and him, Commander. But I assured you it won't take long." Akito said before he and Lelouch went into a private room. Leila had a worried look as they went off.
Ayano looked at her and could tell that she was worried about Akito. She soon give a glass of water to Leila who looks a little surprised at her.
"So you're really worry about him…?" Ayano asked.
"Maybe a little." Leila answered. "When I first find out that he knows your friend, I was so confused why he didn't work for him instead?"
"Maybe we will never know their reason." Ayano shrugged.
Since they don't know how long the guys are going to take, Leila decides to have her own talk with the female Rider here. "Why do you have a cold shoulder at me when we first encounter?" Leila questioned. This causes Ayano to become quiet before having a serious expression.
"Do you really want to know?" Ayano asked with a quiet tone.
Leila nodded.
"I-It's not like I dislike you since I still dislike Britannians for what they did. But someone in Lelouch's friends in normal life was forced to wear armor like yours because she was jealous of my relationship with Lelouch." Ayano said as this made Leila's eyes wide and she got the idea of what going on.
"I see… So how long did you have feeling for Lelouch?" Leila asked.
"Since we were kids, but we're separated after the war and my family forced to move to E.U." Ayano said.
"Y-You used to live here?" Leila asked, surprisingly.
Ayano soon have a dark expression. "It was a hell living for us… because your nation take away what dears to me, E.U. weren't any better than Britannia." She said, thinking about her family including her grandfather, Ryo, and Yukiya.
Leila didn't know what to say since she know that Japanese were treated unfair here when they flee after Japan was renamed as Area 11.
"So how did you reacted to him leading the Black Knights?" Leila asked.
"I was surprised at first, but I know he was doing this to protect his family." Ayano said, thinking back how she and Lelouch reunited which was an accident.
"Does he know about your feeling?" Leila asked.
Ayano nodded which made Leila looks surprised at her. "Yes but I was waiting at first, but due to unexpected situation with a Cherry psycho asshole who can read minds using my feeling against me." She said, never wanting to feel something like that again.
"I don't know what to say…" Leila said.
"So do you have a crush on Akito…?" Ayano asked.
This ends up causing Leila to spat her water and her face turns pinkish.
"I-I don't have a crush on him…!" Leila exclaimed.
"Are you sure about that? Then why is your face pink as peaches?" Ayano asked with a smirk.
"Our relationship is only a working relationship! It's nothing more than that!" Leila protested.
"Nothing more than what?" Akito asked, curious as he and Lelouch joins them.
"I was asking if there is more to this working relationship or not." Ayano answered, making Leila blushed more.
"Commander, are you alright?" Akito asked.
"I-It's nothing, Lt. Hyuga!" Leila said, looking away in embarrassment.
"Is that so…?" Lelouch asked, grin.
"So what were you guys talking about…?" Ayano asked.
"We're talking about some stuffs... but mainly about the forest." Lelouch said. "For starters, we might be here to gathering what's going with here. Also Ayano, I need you to work undercover in W-0."
"Wait, what?" Ayano asked, looking surprised at Lelouch.
"If you guys are going to helping us, you guys need cover to blend in since we can't have civilians in W-0. It isn't just you, but Lelouch is going to tag along." Akito replied. "Commander, what do you think of this?"
"I think that I could come up with something for Lelouch to blend in." Leila said.
"Fine! But you owe me for doing this, Lelouch!" Ayano said.
"Yes, Ayano." Lelouch said.
Leila soon got up from the couch. "Anyway, Akito and I need to heading back to the base now. We will contact you guys soon."
"Yes, Commander Malkal." Akito said before following her out of the door.
(Back with Yami Gaim and Baron)
Tyrant parried with Yami Gaim's sword and knocked him back before shooting him, only for Baron to strike at her from behind with her Mango Punisher. This causes Tyrant to become annoyed before slashing Baron in the face with her Sonic Arrow, but only for being shoot in the face by Yami Gaim who charged at her with his two swords. But Tyrant brought up her Sonic Arrow to block the blades, sudden Yami Gaim felt the jolt of orange energy from his Lockseed again and this ends up throwing him backward.
"Not again…" Yami Gaim groan in pain before seeing another vision.
(Rai's vision)
A younger Rai hears a loud crash sound before coming downstairs and seeing his father being strangled by three shadow men.
"Father!" Younger Rai cried out.
"Who would thought the traitor kept this a secret from his highness…?" A childish voice giggled.
"I won't let you harm them, bastard!" Rai's father shout, struggling against the three men.
(Vision over)
W-what in the world was that vision? Yami Gaim thought, holding his head from the pain.
Tyrant looks a little confused at him, but using this opportunity to attack the defenseless Rider.
"COME ON! MANGO SPARKING!"
Tyrant jumps out of the way when Baron swings her Mango Punisher downward, creating a massive crater in the process.
"SODA~! DRAGONFRUIT ENERGY SQUASH!"
Baron brought up her Mango Punisher to defend against the red energy wave before she got send flying backward in the process.
"How pathetic… compared to the infamous Zangetsu… but I find both of you weak even living under his shadow." Tyrant taunted in a mocking tone before laughing.
This causes Baron to become tick off. "S-Shut up…!" She growl, struggling to get back up after being attacked from Tyrant. "I won't allowed you to laugh at us…"
"Now where was I? Of course… the Black Samurai." Tyrant said before charging at Yami Gaim who seem to have a headache.
"Snapped out of it, Rai!" Baron shout.
Suddenly Yami Gaim got up before brought up his Musou Saber to block the Sonic Arrow and slashing Tyrant with Daidaimaru, forcing her to staggering backward.
"I... I won't let you get away with this!" Yami Gaim exclaimed before charging forward.
He soon delivered more slashes with both blades in his hands to causes sparks flying in the air.
Tyrant soon shook her head and starts firing her Sonic Arrow at Yami Gaim, but Yami Gaim dodged the attack before combined both Musou Saber and Daidaimaru together before pushing his Cutting Blade.
"SOIYA! BLACK ORANGE SPARKING!"
He then takes out his Black Orange Lockseed and places it in the Musou Saber's slot.
"1-0-0-0!"
He soon start spinning his Naginata before sending black energy waves at Tyrant. Trapping Tyrant in the blackish orange sphere before charging forward at her.
"Time to end this!" Yami Gaim shout.
"BLACK ORANGE CHARGE!"
But Tyrant says nothing as she places her Energy Lockseed from her Genesis Driver and places it in her Sonic Arrow. She then pulled the string of her Sonic Arrow immediately as the tip of her Sonic Arrow starting to gathering energy.
"This is the end for you." Tyrant said before aiming her bow at Yami Gaim.
"DRAGONFRUIT ENERGY!"
The arrow soon turned into dragon shaped before heading for Yami Gaim who couldn't get away in time.
"Watch out!" Baron shout as she moving forward to get Yami Gaim out of the way.
But Tyrant's attack gazed her shoulder when the two Sengoku Riders moved out of the way as the blast destroyed a warehouse behind them immediately.
Before Tyrant could even shoot another energy arrow at them, dozen purple orbs from out of nowhere and shoot her especially her Energy Lockseed, causing massive sparks flying off her chest armor.
From the air, Ryugen descend down in front of Yami Gaim and Baron. "So I was right, more Genesis Riders will appeared." Ryugen said, holding his Budou Ryuhou.
"Orpheus…" Yami Gaim whispered.
Tyrant was about to attack the newcomer before noticing her armor began to flicker right now and dissolving, causing the Riders look surprised.
"Tcch… I'm run out of time. I have somewhere else to be." Tyrant said before decided to run.
"Wait!" Ryugen said before firing his gun at the Genesis Rider.
Tyrant didn't say anything but pulled out a smoke bomb before throwing it to the ground in front of them. It wasn't long until the smoke faded away as the Genesis Rider was nowhere to be seen.
She fled… Ryugen thought before noticing something on the ground and picks it up.
It looks like a steel card with green line on the left side and have Tyrant's symbol on it.
"This looks an ID card…" Ryugen said. He got a feeling that this might be useful in the future and puts it away.
"Kallen, are you alright?" Ryugen turns around as he noticed Rai helps Kallen getting up from the ground.
Kallen looks at Rai before slapped him on the face.
"Kallen, why did you-" Before Rai could finished, he notices Kallen have angry looks on her face and stop.
"What the hell were you think of pulling a stunt like that?!" Kallen asked coldly. "You could almost got yourself killed by her! How do you think we will feel if you get yourself killed!?"
"B-But Kallen, I-"
But Kallen's expression hasn't changed a bit. "I wished that you didn't find that belt… So you won't have to make selfish choices like that could cost your live!"
Rai's eyes wide completely in shocked at her words.
Oh dear… Rai must screw up really bad with Kallen! Ryugen thought shocked. Though this is his first time to see Kallen acting this way around Rai.
"She is really pissed off by his reckless bad behavior." Draco remarked. Ryugen can't help agreed more with his Knightframe.
"Kallen, I—"
"Save your pity." Kallen said before turning and leaving them immediately.
Rai soon fall on his knees after seeing Kallen leave. He is currently shaking by the words she says to him.
Is she really right? Rai thought to himself.
Ryugen closed his Lockseed before come to Rai's side and pet him on the shoulder to console him.
"I really screw up, didn't I?" Rai asked quiet.
"You says the word right out of my mouth, Rai." Orpheus remarked. "Come on"
Akito is currently driving the car with Leila sitting on the passenger seat next to him. Leila looking at Akito who focused on driving right now.
"So do you have a crush on Akito…?" Ayano asked.
I am surprised that he never questioned me about that… Leila thought before speaking up.
"Lt. Hyuga, what would you and Lelouch talking about earlier?" Leila inquired.
"Nothing you need to worry about, Commander." Akito said.
"But it sound really important."
"Commander, if anything major comes up, I will let you know." Akito pointed out. But he isn't ready to tell her about his 'curse'.
Leila seemed relax a little. "Good point. Though it will get sometime used to them being in the same building."
"But don't forget that they will be here for a short time." Akito reminded to Leila. He knows Lelouch's plan to crushed Britannia and form a defensive against Helheim invasion by regain Japan from Britannia force to prove to the world that Britannia Empire wasn't invincible.
"Why Zangetsu is going this far?" Leila asked to Akito.
"He was rejected by Britannia society for not abandoned a family member who been crippled." Akito said, making Leila's eyes wide. "What would you do if you find out that your family outcast your sibling if they're cripple?"
"I would probably do the same as him…" Leila said.
"I see. Another reason why we need their assistance because Bravo and Gridon been slipping from our grasp every time we came close of catching them." Akito said before the red light turns green and they continued driving.
"Indeed. We need to find out who they're working for." Leila agreed.
(Unknown location)
Jams is listening to reports from his henchmen as they appear in holographic projectiles.
"I see… So the leader of Black Knights and his soldier here in the E.U." Jams said, rubbing his chin. "This will be interested."
"What do you want us to do, sir?" Tyrant asked.
"I want you continued pushing them, my dear Tyrant… If they can't bring up interesting fight, then it will be a boring hunt for you. Though I want you keep your presence hidden from Britannia officals." Jams said.
Jams then look at other two hooded figures. "I want you two to return to the factory and be on guard. I suspected it won't be long until they noticed it there."
"Yes, sir." The three said at the same time before they vanished.
"It won't be long until they will finally made appeared." Jams chuckled evil. "How will you handle when the apocalypse coming… Lelouch?"
(Next day)
Lelouch was the first to wake up from his sleep and looking at Ayano who resting next to him. Unfortunately, due to the room that they rented have only one bed. But they are okay with sharing the bed. Lelouch admit that this much nice than the witch hogging his bed after dropping onto his life after 'return' from death.
Lelouch looks at Ayano who seem to be resting peacefully. Though Ayano seem to hold herself well when coming back here to the place where she lost everything.
Another reason to make sure we can take back Japan… Lelouch thought with serious before moving up a little.
This causes Ayano began to stirring up and looks at Lelouch.
"Hmm… Morning Lelouch." Ayano greeted with a smile.
"Hey there." Lelouch said. "How are you feeling?"
"Good." Ayano said before getting up. "Let's see what they have for breakfast, okay?"
"Oh sure…" Lelouch said.
Lelouch's cellphone starts ringing before Lelouch picks up the cellphone.
"Akito, what is it now?" Lelouch asked, still a little sleepy.
"We got an unusual tip on people with Locks summoned monsters for game." Akito said, causing Lelouch's eyes went wide.
"Let me get this straight… There are people playing with Lockseeds without knowing the consequence?" Ayano asked.
"But what we know that someone given them Lockseeds to lead to this." Akito response.
"Unfortunately, they won't tell us where or who they got them from." Leila said.
"Let me try talking to them…" Lelouch said.
Leila turns to look at Lelouch.
"Huh? What made you think that they will agreed on talk to you?" Leila asked.
"I assured you that I can be very persuasive, Leila Malkal." Lelouch said.
Leila stares at Lelouch carefully for a few minutes.
"Alright… I will let you see them." Leila said.
The military truck soon driving toward turning a large building as Lelouch and others look outside immediately.
"This is it?" Ayano asked.
"This is where they got the Lockseeds." Lelouch said.
"I still don't get how you do that." Leila said, still can't believe that Lelouch get the information from the thugs easily.
Is something I don't think you need to know… Lelouch thought.
When the truck is getting closer, Ayano saw a rocket missile coming at them and looks at Leila.
"Out of the way, Malkal! We got fucking missile at us!" Ayano exclaimed.
Leila did as she turning the steering wheel to the side to avoid the missile from destroying the military truck in the process.
"Whoever it was, we aren't expecting a warm welcome." Akito said.
Suddenly they heard familiar voices in the air as two shadows descend on the ground after their metallic fruits transformed into their armor forms.
"DURIAN ARMS! MISTER DANGEROUS!"
"COME ON! DONGURI ARMS! NEVER GIVE UP!"
The Rider donned in a green and silver bodysuit similar to Baron, but with spikey lavender bracers. The Durian Arms unfolded with the back of the durian's front glowing spikes, forming a T-like part for chest armor and sides unfolded to green spiky pauldrons. His helmet is lime green with silver faceplate and scar on one eye before the visor turning yellow and extremely sharp earpieces, and a red Mohawk like the gladiators once had. In his hands was a pair of swords with spikes on them.
This is Kamen Rider Bravo.
The metallic acorn then unfolded, the sides split and covered his shoulders, making the acorn cap into strong shoulder armor. The front and back unfolded onto the chest and back, the chest portion holding a round section of armor like a medieval warrior. His helmet looked like a Viking's and an acorn as his eyes were lit yellow. In his hand was a hammer whose head was styled after an acorn.
This is Kamen Rider Gridon.
"Come with us, Miss Malkal. Or this won't be pretty." The Durian theme Rider known as Bravo said.
"Unless you guys are cowards." Gridon taunted.
"Not them again…" Leila muttered.
"I can't take that guy serious even with that tiny hammer…" Ayano deadpanned, looking at Gridon's appearance. "Whoever come up with the idea for the suit is a fucking dumbass."
Meanwhile in the realm of the spirit world, a certain lemon mad scientist sneezed immediately.
"Don't underestimate them." Akito said.
"If we take them out-" Lelouch said, but Ayano suddenly interrupted him.
"Wait, Lelouch." Ayano said. "Let me and Hyuga handle against them, someone need to see what's going in there."
"Are you sure, Ayano?" Lelouch asked.
Ayano nodded.
"Beside I am itch for a serious fight." Ayano added.
"I don't mind as long as you can keep up." Akito said.
Lelouch sighed. "Alright… here is the plan."
Both Gridon and Bravo didn't wait long until they decide to approach the truck. Suddenly they saw Ayano and Akito emerging out of the truck before getting out their Drivers.
"SILVER!"
"BLUEBERRY!"
"Henshin!" They shout.
"SOIYA!"
Soon their respective Arms land on their shoulder before their bodysuits materialized and their Arms formed into armors.
"SILVER ARMS! HAKUGIN NEW STAGE!"
"BLUEBERRY ARMS! AMENO GOMEN!"
Habakiri and Kamuro soon got out their weapons before charging at them and clashed with the new rouge Riders.
Unknown to them, a certain white blur went passing them without noticing and heading into the building.
Zangetsu-Shin with Idunn soon enter the building before seeing two Kurokage Troopers trying to attack him with their Kagematsu.
But Zangetsu-Shin blocked the attack with his Sonic Arrow before throws them back and slashing their chest armor to sending them flying backward.
Zangetsu-Shin then pulled his Sonic Arrow as he fired two energy arrows at them as the Kurokage Troopers exploded in the process.
"Hmm… that might alert whoever still here. But what are they hiding here?" Zangetsu-Shin pondered before they continued their way through the door.
After making their way through the door, two Riders see in the room now.
"You got to be kidding me…" Zangetsu-Shin said with disbelief expression under his helmet. 'So this is what they've been hiding here.'
"What in the world is this place?" Idunn asked.
"Idunn, this place isn't just where they gather Lockseeds, but manufacturing them." Zangetsu-Shin said cold.
"How could this be…?" Idunn said. She didn't know anything about a Lockseed factory exist in the E.U.
The white armored Rider is currently stares at machines he never imagined could make Lockseeds even there are some Lockseeds he never seen before.
"I don't know… but I'm going to find out." Zangetsu-Shin said before he continued moving through the factory here.
They soon hears footsteps before seeing dozen of Kurokage troopers emerging from both sides, but Zangetsu-Shin noticed one of the Kurokage wears a Genesis Driver and a new Energy Lockseed along with a new head for spear.
"That is so not original." Zangetsu-Shin deadpanned, looking at Kurokage-Shin's armor.
This somehow caused a tick mark on Kurokage-Shin's head and angry boiled within him immediately.
"Shut up!" Kurokage-Shin exclaimed. "You won't get any further, intruder! Men, attacked!"
Zangetsu-Shin charges against them with his Sonic Arrow as he start slashing the Kurokage Troopers when getting close to them. Zangetsu-Shin then reached for Kurokage-Shin who brought up his Kagematsu-Shin to parry with the slash.
Idunn brought up her Sword Bringer before slashing the Kurokage Troopers as massive sparks flying in the air around them. When a Kurokage Trooper about to attack her, she brought up her Apple Reflector to protect herself before slamming the pinecone theme soldier backward.
Idunn turns around and see more Kurokage Troopers coming at her before pushing down her Cutting Blade twice.
"COME ON! RINGO AU LAIT!"
Materialized around her are the energy like apple slicers before Idunn send them toward the Kurokage Troopers as they fall in the process.
(Outside of the factory)
Sparks flew as Bravo and Habakiri clashed against each other as they try to push each other. It wasn't until the Gladiator-themed Rider broke the deadlock and kicked Habakiri in her chest. He then struck with his Duri Noko, but Habakiri blocked his attack and response with one of her blade striking across Bravo's chest, causing him to stagger.
Habakiri then follows up with two swift slashes, but her attack was blocked by Bravo who crossed his Duri Noko together. When Bravo saw an opening, he smacked his head against Habakiri causing her to stagger backward.
"What the hell did you do that for!?" Habakiri complained.
"For our master, we will do what it takes to win even if means to play dirty, Mustikka." Bravo said.
That is something Ryo would say… Habakiri thought.
"However, I won't allow you get in the way of our master's ambition for the world. Even against you pitied Black Knights wants with Helheim's power." Bravo said coldly before charging forward at her.
"What did you says?!" Habakiri asked, feeling angry.
Habakiri soon dodged Bravo's attacks before parried in event match battle right now. Bravo then throws his Duri Noko, Habakiri ducked to the ground before they returned to their original owner.
Habakiri soon connected both of her swords together to create her Naginata before spinning it around to create fire. This made Bravo looks surprised before Habakiri delivered a furious fiery wave at him and sending him backward.
But Bravo got himself back up before pushing his Cutting Blade down once. Habakiri did the same as him.
"SOIYA! BLUEBERRY SQUASH!"
"DURIAN SQUASH!"
Habakiri spins her weapon to gather blue energy to her Naginata while Bravo's Mohawk starts glowing before enlarged itself as they attacked each other.
Meanwhile Kamuro and Gridon are fighting in their own fight not far from them as Gridon continued dodging Kamuro's weapon before hiding behind the wooden boxes.
"COME ON! MANGO ARMS! FIGHT OF HAMMER!"
Suddenly Gridon come out of the boxes with the Mango Punisher aimed at Kamuro's face. But Kamuro jumps out of the way as Gridon made a large crate on the floor.
"So you aren't going to switch for Budou Arms…" Kamuro said, reminded of the previous clash with him and Bravo before.
But Gridon didn't say anything before he try to thrust the Mango Punisher forward at Kamuro who jumps to the side before slashing Gridon in the chest, causing the brown Viking Rider to stagger backward and rolling across the ground. Before Kamuro could attack again, he got hit by fireballs from above as two Shika Inves emerging out of the Crack.
"Attack Kamuro now." Gridon said, holding two Ichigo Lockseeds in his hands.
Before Kamuro could move again, the two Shika Inves grabbed him before slamming him straight to the wall and throws him against the wall. Soon the Shika Inves unleashed fireballs at him and caused an explosion in the process.
"That take care of him…" Gridon said.
"You pissed me off…" a voice said in the dust and Gridon saw a pair of glowing visor before Kamuro revealed to still standing. "You'll die!"
"Impossible…" Gridon stuttered.
Kamuro soon got out his Suika Lockseed and pressed it.
"SUIKA!"
"SOIYA! SUIKA ARMS! ODAMA BIG BANG!"
Kamuro's Silver Arms vanished before he did a backflipped and landed in Suika Arms then the Suika Arms changed into its mecha form. Even in Suika Arms, the watermelon visor even glowing sinisterly when Kamuro let out a feral growl.
"Alright, you two. Handle this." Gridon said before throwing the Strawberry Lockseeds toward the two Inves and they eaten them.
It wasn't long until the two Inves becomes Berserker Inves while Gridon gone somewhere and watched the fight began.
(Back with Zangetsu-Shin)
Zangetsu-Shin and Kurokage-Shin stares at each other while they're walking in circle motion as they waited for who make the first move.
"Care to tell me who you are working?" Zangetsu-Shin asked.
"Never!" Kurokage-Shin exclaimed before charging forward.
Zangetsu-Shin then saw an opening and slashed Kurokage-Shin across the chest, sending him staggering. Annoyed, Kurokage-Shin swung his Kagematsu-Shin down only for Zangetsu-Shin to dodge.
Kurokage-Shin growl again after another dodge before he brought down his Kagematsu-Shin and sparks flew as both weapons connected. The two struggled with each other, both Riders' eyes meeting with each other. Sparks were seen as their weapons scraped against each other. Zangetsu-Shin then kicked Kurokage-Shin in the chest before jabbing forward with the Sonic Arrow, hitting Kurokage-Shin in the chest hard enough to send him tumbling.
Kurokage-Shin let out a growl before gripped the Seaboll Compressor and pushed it.
"MATSUBOKKURI ENERGY SQUASH!"
Energy gathered on the spearhead of the Kagematsu-Shin and formed into a pinecone. Kurokage-Shin dashed towards Zangetsu-Shin with his attack. But Zangetsu-Shin already prepared a counterattack.
"MELON ENERGY SQUASH!"
The blades of his Sonic Arrow glow with green light before Zangetsu-Shin deflected his attack with a slash then unleashed a second attack that crushed Kurokage-Shin and causing him to explode.
Kurokage-Shin collapsed on the ground before reversal back to his original state then succumbed into darkness. Zangetsu-Shin approached the unknown man before taking off his Genesis Driver and Matsubokkuri Energy Lockseed before Idunn catch up with him.
"There is no doubt that they will send in more reinforcement." Idunn suggested.
"They must have a security room here to watch our movements in this factory." Zangetsu-Shin said.
"Let's split up and covered more ground here. I will contact you if I find anything on my communicator." Idunn injected.
Zangetsu-Shin nodded before the two went separated directions. Idunn move around the hallway carefully while looking out for any enemies.
It wasn't until she discovered the room which was guarded by three Kurokage troopers. Idunn soon got her Apple Reflector out and tossed the shield at them before knocking the completely unconscious before subdued them quietly.
Idunn soon opens the door quiet and letting herself into the room before looking over at the terminal.
"Let's see…" Idunn said, trying to figure out how the keyboards work. "I should deactivated the alarm system first."
After figured out how the system works, Idunn soon activated the communicator within her helmet.
"Zangetsu, I managed to deactivate the alarm system. Though there are still Kurokage Troopers are patrolling in the building." Idunn said.
Zangetsu-Shin trying very hard to avoid detection and stealthy killing any Kurokage troopers in the process before he ends up in what looks like a laboratory room.
He soon noticed a blueprint on the wall and looks surprised.
"A blueprint for Genesis Driver…" Zangetsu-Shin muttered, looking at the blueprint. "But the question is who owns this factory?"
Zangetsu-Shin looks around the room carefully before he finds something in the drawer and take out two new Energy Lockseeds with pictures of lemon and peach along with a core of the Genesis Driver.
"I guess that I will take them for myself." Zangetsu-Shin comment then spotted a computer nearby and approached it before checking the files on the content. He soon find file with [Genesis Project] on it before pressing it.
Soon the screen revealed blueprints for Genesis Riders that Zangetsu-Shin never seen beside his own and Sigurd.
"I find blueprints for Genesis Riders… I'm not even aware of." Zangetsu-Shin said, looking mainly at the blueprints for lemon, peach, and dragonfruit. So far, he didn't find any blueprint for melon.
Good. It will be really annoyed if there is another person wearing my suit! Zangetsu-Shin thought to himself.
Before Zangetsu-Shin could continue looking through the file, the screen in front of him turns grey immediately.
"What the hell?!" Zangetsu-Shin asked disbelief before he felt a chilling down on his spine and turns around to block an attack from a pink Daidaimaru. Zangetsu-Shin then looks up to get a better look at his attacker as it none other than Jam himself.
"Who wouldn't thought that the leader of Black Knights will be in the factory…?" Jams mused.
"Who in the world are you?" Zangetsu-Shin questioned.
"Someone you don't need to know after I am done with you..." Jam said before jumping backward to avoid Zangetsu-Shin's swing.
Judging by his voice… it sound a lot like a child. It must be the one who attacked Ayano and others, Zangetsu-Shin thought with a serious expression.
The white Genesis Rider soon pulled the string of his Sonic Arrow before firing couple of arrows at Jam. When the energy arrows get close to him, Jam suddenly turns into multiple swarm of flies and they are flying around in the room to avoiding behind hit by Zangetsu-Shin's arrows.
"Damn it…" Zangetsu-Shin cursed.
Suddenly the black locusts are coming after Zangetsu-Shin, Zangetsu-Shin trying to swat the locusts away from him in frustration. But no matter what he does, the locusts seem to be attached to him and he also felt that he start feeling a bit weaker than before.
But out of nowhere, Idunn with a fire extinguisher and pulled the trigger at Zangetsu-Shin. Soon the locusts were blow away by the substance.
This cause the locusts collapsed on the ground before reforming back to Jam who got back up from the floor.
"Oh, this is an unexpected surprised…. Hehehehe. To see one of my toy have finally find a compatible owner." Jam giggled madly. "But what make you so special, Leila Malkal? I must find out what make you tick."
"There is no way I am going with you freak." Idunn said, throws away the fire extinguisher and got out her Sword Bringer.
Zangetsu-Shin got himself up before wiped away the stuff off his helmet's visor as he and Idunn charges forward at Jams.
Jams brought up his Daidaimaru to block against Zangetsu-Shin's Sonic Arrow before using his Musou Saber to block against Idunn's Apple Bringer then pushing both Riders backward.
Zangetsu-Shin fired his arrows and Idunn throws her Apple Reflector at Jam in the same time.
"DARKNESS SQUASH!"
Jams jump into the air and turning into a black twister to avoiding the upcoming attacks from Zangetsu-Shin and Idunn.
With his Daidaimaru and Musou Saber combined, Jam then unleashed dark pink energy slashes at the two. Both Zangetsu-Shin and Idunn dodged them while firing their own attacks in return against him.
"DARKNESS AU LAIT!"
Soon Jam summoned a massive black orb resembled an apple out of his palms.
"We need to match in power to survive this one, Idunn." Zangetsu-Shin said, pushing his Seaboll Compressor twice.
"SODA~! MELON ENERGY SPARKING!"
Idunn pushed down her Cutting Blade three times.
"COME ON! RINGO SPARKING!"
Soon both Zangetsu-Shin and Idunn glowing in radiation colors, Jam unleashed the first attack at them as both Riders jump into the air and they gone into a Rider kick at the black orb. The attacks collided to create an explosion that made Idunn and Zangetsu-Shin jump backward.
"As much as I want to keep observing of you two, my underlings already clear up the shipment and the data here are already wiped out. See you later…" Jams chuckled before turns away and jumps through the Crack in front of them.
Before either of them could followed him, the Crack closed immediately.
"Damn." Zangetsu-Shin cursed.
Like Jams says, the equipment in the building are broken as Lelouch and Leila meet with their friends.
"I see, so that guy was here…" Ayano said. She got really annoyed when Bravo and Gridon make their escape when they almost got them in corner.
"So they weren't just making regular Lockseeds, but Energy Lockseeds as well." Akito said, crossing his arms against his waist.
"I saw blueprints for new Genesis Riders on the computer for them and I try to learn more before he wiped them out." Lelouch said.
"But I got this." Leila said, showing them a disco case.
"What is that, Commander?" Akito asked.
"I discover one of the scientist dropped it while running. I think it might possessed something they're working on in the factory." Leila said.
At least not everything is lost when they come to this place.
"I see… We might have to look at it when we get back." Lelouch said with a serious expression.
To be continued…
AN: That is the end of the chapter especially with Jeremiah being the next Sigurd and Leila as Idunn. Anyway, be sure to review or message me for any questions, comments, or concern. And don't be afraid to look at my other stories.
