Notes
Hey guys, this is a worseman and this is the second part of the arc in this crossover fanfiction.
I have to warn you that this chapter is honestly in the mess as I'm having a hard time writing down because of two things; my lack of brain and description of the Kamen Rider Suit. It's really painful to write down the rider's various forms although I tried my best but again, it's pain in the ass. I might be going to rewrite this chapter as well.
I know more about Kamen Rider since I'm their fan but I rarely forget about it as my memory was fuzzy so I tried to rewatch the series again along with a History of Kamen Rider by the YouTuber named Marcosatsu and reading throughout their Wikipedia. I still have some problems getting the character's personality and attitude even though I did my best. As for Fate Franchise, I still have a problem but I did some research by using the Type-Moon Wiki and watching other Fate Series.
I'm still waiting for some reviewers to leave their troll and hateful comments on my story due to my poor grammar and make fun of this story.
Like I said before, I'm writing this for fun.
If you spot any grammar errors or spelling in this story, I will try my best to improve my story.

I don't own any characters from both Kamen Rider and Fate Franchise as both belong to their respective owners except my OC.
A woman with white long hair and auburn eyes was running with her adrenaline and fear as she was being chased by her horrifying pursuers which was a group of skeleton soldiers armed with their decrepit lances, sword, and shield. She was having a horrible time being chased, thinking that the situation was beyond the worst and she got no contact from Chaldea for help. She tried to keep her pace and speed despite being not the most athletic, but she suddenly tripped and fell to her knee, feeling a scrape along with her palm. She looked up to the flame blocking her path and forced her fearfully to turn around to her pursuers. She gritted her teeth and stood up before pointing her index finger at them. A yellow symbol sigil formed around her finger.
"Stay back!" The woman shouted as her sigil fired a dark red projectile bullet and hit one of the skeleton soldiers, causing it to disintegrate, yet it was not able to stop them at all.
The woman did not realize that she had caused the skeleton soldiers to be angrier but not intimidated. They clattered loudly before charging at her with their weapons raised high. She was forced to aim and fire off more shots of her magic at the charging squadron but their numbers did not dwindle at all.
"Why do these kinds of things always happen to me?" complained the woman as she continued to fire more shots. She suddenly was off-caught by a lunged skeleton soldier but her ear picked the sound, and she managed to dodge its attack due to her quick reaction and fired at it, but its body twisted to dodge her attack and ready to kill her.
"Save me, Lev!" Screamed the woman with fear as she was about to get killed.
A clang was heard. The woman opened her eyes to find herself to be alive. She looked up to the sight of Mashu blocking the attack of the sword-wielding skeleton and overpowering its strength. She swung the longer end of her shield and smashed the skeleton to pieces before it disintegrated into a light. She then processed to fight the rest.
"Mashu?" The woman was dumbfounded by the appearance of the armored girl who was fighting the skeleton soldiers.
"Director Olga, Are you alright?!"
Olga turned her head around to the shout of shouting and it unexpectedly turned out to be Ritsuka running towards her with Fou on his right shoulder.
"You!" Olga was speechless to see the person whom she dismissed from the mission.
While they were busy, Mashu killed many skeleton soldiers one by one with her shield and as the remaining soldiers were still alive, Mashu jumped in the air and dropped down with her shield in front. Her shield crashed upon hitting on the group, killing the remaining while creating a degradation concreta to produce a cloud of smoke. She came out of the smoke being fine and ran towards Olga with her worried face.
"Director, are you hurt?"
"What is going on?" Olga asked as she stood up after her shock.
"This is Singularity F. Fuyuki, 2004. It may be hard to believe, but I…" answered Mashu hesitantly.
"You're a Demi-Servant, right? I can tell just by looking at you," Olga stated as she stood up, "What I want to know is, why didn't it succeed until now!"
"I'm sure you know that Chaldea prepared a Servant beforehand to resolve the investigation of Singularity F," Mashu said, shocking Olga.
"Right before I died, he offered me the contract. In exchange for giving me the abilities of a Heroic Spirit and Noble Phantasm, he wanted me to eliminate the cause of the singularity. So I merged with the servant to become a Demi-Servant," Mashu continued, recalling the memory of a spirit of an unknown knight. Near her, Ritsuka, who was unconscious, had a red mark on his left hand glowing.
"Then this substitute commoner has become your Master?" Olga guessed, looking sternly at Ritsuka.
"Master?" Ritsuka asked before realizing what Olga meant. He quickly raised his hand and examined it to find the red mark. He was surprised to look at it as he knew what the mark was due to his basic knowledge from reading a diary book belonging to the parents of his great grandparents before joining the Chaldea.
'A command seal?' Ritsuka thought, being bewildered as if he was a child looking at the new candy. Although he knew it, he saw it the first time realistically.
"Hey, are you listening, commoner!?" Olga raised her voice to snap Ritsuka out of his la-la land.
"Sorry," Ritsuka apologized until his communication bracelet rang a beep sound, surprising him and the rest. He pressed the button to activate it and it showed the projection of Roman and Kota.
"I finally got through! Hello, can you hear me?" Asked Roman.
"Doctor Roman!" Called Ritsuka.
"Ritsuka! Mashi! Thank goodness! You two are all right…" Kota said with relief.
Roman showed his concerned face. "So you two did get caught in the Rayshift. Without being in a coffin, you had to withstand it while conscious…"
"Why have you taken control, Romani? And why is that engineer with you?" Olga asked with a stern tone since she was not expecting the head doctor at the controls along with the engineer with whom she had a nasty argument.
"D-Director! You're alive?!" Roman was surprised at Olga despite all the damage and destruction done to the Central control room while Kota simply averted her gaze.
"What are you talking about? Why is the head of the medical section in that chair? Where is Lev," Olga demanded as her patience was thinning.
Both Roman and Kota's faces turned regretful and painful expressions as Roman reported with a painful answer, "...Professor Lev was right in the middle of that explosion that took place in the central control room. I can't see any hope of his survival."
"No…" Olga said with a shock while trying to hold her tears.
"Director Olga is very close to Professor Lev, isn't it?" Ristuka whispered with a concerned face.
"Yes, Sempai. From what I know: Professor Lev helped the director with a lot of things in Chaldea, so she looks to him for support," Mashu whispered back.
"I see," Ritsuka muttered, feeling sympathy for Olga who had lost the person who had been her backbone to support her.
"The reason I have been entrusted with the operational command is that there isn't anyone left who outranks me," said Roman.
"We're also short on staff because the explosion took out almost all of the staff," Kota state with a pained face after witnessing many deceased bodies.
"Then what about the Master potentials? What happened to the 47 people who were in coffins?!" Olga asked with a distressed look.
"All of them are in critical condition," Roman replied. "At this rate…"
"Don't be foolish!" shouted Olga, surprising those who were present. She moved her arm forward as a gesture of direction. "Transfer them to cryopreservation immediately! Our top priority is to ensure their survival!"
Roman understood what Olga meant since that would keep them alive even in their heavily wounded conditions. "I do it immediately! Kota, I need your help with this one!"
"You don't have to tell me twice," Kota reminded me seriously as he ran off with Roman without hesitation.
The communication was shut off as they finished watching. Mashu turned to Olga with worry since her order could be considered criminal. "Director…"
"As long as they don't die, this can all be justified later. I can't possibly carry the burden of 47 lives on my back," Olga said as she was about to bite her nail in frustration.
"...Director is right, Mashu," Ritsuka said firmly, surprising Mashu and Olga. He continued, "Sometimes, we have to break the rule to do what is right, so saving lives is a top priority."
"Sempai…" Mashu turned to Ritsuka.
Olga never expected to hear the word from Ritsuka that she made the right call although she desired not to hold her responsible for their death. She wondered if she was wrong to scold him and never realized his possible potential as a Master. She hoped that she was right. Ritsuka began to ask, "Director, what is our next move?"
Snapped out, Olga immediately replied, "We need to find a shelter to take cover and hide from the enemy."
2004
Fuyuki City, Japan.
Sougo was relieved that he finally met up with Geiz after jumping out of Den-Liner, but he could not find either of the riders on his way. He always hoped that the riders survived. He needs to find others to meet up so that they can begin their investigation otherwise they might waste plenty of time to increase the chance for the anomaly to turn into the destruction of all timelines. However, he had no clue to know their location in some parts including a lack of knowledge of the city with which he was unfamiliar. He turned around and looked at Geiz who was trying to relax. "Are you alright, Geiz?"
"Yeah, but I need to take a breath," Geiz replied as he tried to take control of his breathing while sitting on the debris. "God, what a way to start the investigation."
"Oh, come on, it wasn't that bad of a start even though something is hitting at us at this moment," Sougo reassured Geiz with his smile.
"Sougo, please don't say that, or else I'm going to struggle you for that," warned Geiz with his glare at Sougo.
"Heh, sorry," Sougo apologized while laughing heartily.
Geiz sighed and turned his head to scan the surrounding of the destruction street. He could not find any living people in the street as if they were not here anymore and all he encountered before meeting Sougo was a skeleton armed soldier, which he avoided. There was no surprise that there were monsters in this timeline, but he had a feeling if someone was watching them and he or she might not be human.
"I think we need to move to find and meet up with the riders," Suggested Sougo with firm confidence.
Geiz turned to Sougo while standing up. "Agree. As if we haven't encountered or avoided some hostile monster."
All of the sudden, a loud running step and an inhuman roaring coming from their direction and they were certain that whoever was coming towards them was not friendly. Geiz groaned in annoyance while he and Sougo instantly took their white belt out and placed it around his waist. He officially hated this timeline because everything was trying to kill him and the riders when they arrived. He needs to remind himself not to say something unnecessary that might come true.
ZIKU DRIVER!
"Argh, I guess this timeline hates us," Complained Geiz as he took out his ridewatch with red dial design.
"I agree with you, Geiz, but get ready!" Sougo said loudly as he also took his ridewatch with a white dial design.
They thrust their arm out, holding their watches tightly and showing their faceplate. They turned the dial of the watch's faceplate to reveal a mask belonging to their respective owner and they pressed the watch's button, conjuring a hologram circle of their mask appearing with the word 'Rider' in different syllabary each: Katakana and Hiragana.
ZI-O
GEIZ
2004
Fuyuki City, Japan.
"...And that is my report. Currently, Chaldea has lost 80% of all functions. Once communication with the outside is restored, I'll request supplies and start reconstructing Chaldea. That's our current status." Roman reported as the control room was being repaired by the remaining technical employees along with the help of Kota.
"Fine, Romani Archaman. I'm not happy about it, but until I get back, you're in charge of Chaldea." Olga instructed.
"Roger, but still… a Demi-Servant, a fusion of a Heroic Spirit and a human… I can't believe it succeeded at a time like this," said Roman with a bewildered tone.
Mashu made an alarmed look before turning in the direction of whatever she sensed and then a loud crash was heard. The group turned around and saw an odd sight of what appeared to be a ghost warrior except it was wearing an orange trimmed jacket with a light eye pattern glowing on its chest, followed by its hooded face glowing with two eerie black, almost alien eyes. The ghost warrior had a black mist following it and it was staring at the group. Near it, a pile of rubble and junk was knocked over.
Olga realized the danger and turned to Ritsuka and Mashu with an order. "Mashu, Ritsuka! Take it down! But be careful!"
"Understood!" Mashu shouted along Ritsuka nodded as she charged at the warrior with her shield at the ready to attack and jumped up to prepare to smash with the long end of her shield. However, what she did not expect was that it began to talk.
"Wait! Wait! Wait! I'm not here to fight!" The ghost warrior shouted in a male voice with his hands raised in a surrendering and panicking fashion.
"Huh?!" Mash wondered before she crashed to the ground.
The ghost warrior managed to jump back to avoid being crushed and rolled on the ground before standing on his feet while raising hands again to show his surrendering. "Wait for a moment! Let me talk!"
Mashu placed his shield in front of her while examining the ghost warrior with her suspicious look. "Aren't you here to kill us?"
"Kill you? Of course not!" The ghost warrior responded, still raising his hand. "I'm only here to talk since you three are the only humans that I met in this city."
"Human? You don't seem to look like one," Mashu stated while looking at the ghost body from the button to the top.
"Oh, you have a good point. I forget how this form usually scares people. Hold on," The ghost responded as he moved his hand to his creepy-looking belt buckle that looked like a silver smirking cyclops with a large orange handle on the right side of the belt. He opened its lid and took out his eye-like sphere. He then closed the lid.
OYASUMI!
The ghost-like warrior glowed before his form disappeared to reveal himself, Takeru. He gave his friendly smile to Mashu. "See? Human."
Mashu however pointed her shield at Takeru to stop.
"Eh?"
"What are you? Changing between a ghost and human means you are not an ordinary human," Mashu said as she grew more suspicious after witnessing Takeru transforming.
Sighed, Takeru had not made progress to persuade Mashu into believing he was like the group since they might not be able to be trusted easily because they saw and protected themselves from any monster in the street. "I'm actually human! Please believe me!"
Meanwhile, Olga and Roman were stunned by the new information about Takeru while observing him and Mashu exchanging their words.
"What in the world? What is that guy?" wondered Roman.
"He's not human if he could transform into human form so easily," Olga said with an unamused look.
Ritsuka squinted his eyes at Takeru as if he was trying to remember Takeru's word until he spotted his belt. He widened his eyes in surprise to realize what Takeru was, but he cannot be sure to think what Takeru was. Suddenly, the conversation was interrupted by a crash of wood splintering and stone smashed apart, and with a roar of some sort of beast. Mashu was gasped with surprise and turned to a direction where the source was coming from.
"What was that?" Takeru wondered but he instantly knew something hostile was heading in their direction.
Suddenly, an alarm went off from the control room where Roman and Kota were before Roman typed furiously into the console to analyze what was going out. After typing in the commands, Roman made a disturbed face.
"All of you! Get out now!" Shouted Roman.
In front of Takeru, Ritsuka, and Mashu, a building's door was smashed through by the two bodies passing through them and they landed on the ground with a thud. They stood up to reveal themselves in their respective armor.
The first person was in a black bodysuit with dark grey boots with silver anklets, pink marking on shin guards on his legs, silver watch-crown styled kneecaps, on his hips were two more pink stripes, from his chest to his waist was a single silver link watch-strap, over his shoulders and chest was a watch's edge styled shoulder-guard. His hands were wrapped in black gloves with pink markings. His mask was a watch's face, his visor had the pink katakana for 'Rider' words on it, the clock hands pointed to 10 and 2 respectively.
The last person was similar to the first person except his color schemes were red and black but much different. His red boots with black tips, silver anklets, deep red shin guards with black stripes on them, black watch-crown kneecaps, a black watch strap going down his chest, and stopped at his waist. His shoulders, protected by a hexagonal-shaped silver chest guard with yellow markings and Red protrusions like watch buttons. He had black gloves with yellow padding. His face, mainly black with a white face-plate except for his visor, where the yellow hiragana lettering stuck itself to, reading the word 'Rider'.
"Zi-O, Geiz!" Shouted Takeru, revealing their identities.
A loud footstep could be heard followed by the building in front of them being smashed apart by a large goliath with dark skin and red markings, revealing to be a massive and heavily muscular man. He stood heads tall of Zi-O and Geiz and roared with anger before attacking with his weapon which appeared to be a stone slab. The duo riders quickly split up to dodge the attack. Zi-O dashed for his leg with his weapon in his hand appeared to be a sword with a ridewatch slot and slashed to incapacitate his movement. Geiz jumped up in the air and tried to aim for his head with his axe with the ridewatch slot but the goliath quickly reacted by smacking Geiz with the blunt end of his weapon into a building.
"Geiz!" Zi-O shouted with fear and concern before being hit and flew into a wrecked car.
Realizing that the duo needed help, Takeru took out the white eye-like sphere, pressing the left-hand side to open the lit and slot it inside. He then closed it up and he seemed to vanish as a ghost-like jacket came out, the same jacket Takeru was wearing earlier.
EYE! BATCHIRI MINAA~~! BATCHIRI MINAA~~!
"Henshin!" Takeru proclaimed as he pushed the handle to open the eye within.
KAIGEN! ORE!
Takeru was appeared to be in a black and grey bodysuit and faceless helmet, faint orange markings appeared on his body with a faint grey eye on his chest.
LET'S GO! KAKUGO! GO-GO-GO-GHOST! GO! GO! GO! GO!
The ghost jacket put itself onto Takeru's bodysuit before his mask lit up with an orange glow and black eyes and a black horn in the top middle as he was fully transformed. He took off his hood to be revealed to be Kamen Rider Ghost.
Ritsuka was surprised to be correct that Takeru was indeed Kamen Rider since he last saw Kamen Rider who saved him during his childhood. He became a little excited to see him in action despite knowing this rider was not the one who saved him and he cannot recognize what kind of the rider was.
Ghost charged forwards as a double-edged sword materialized in his right hand. He jumped in and deflected the attack from the goliath who had noticed his pressure just now. He then did a quick swing up with his sword across the goliath's chest, causing blood to spill from the cut, but it healed extremely quickly, much to Ghost's surprise.
"What?! He healed from that?!" The ghost questioned loudly in shock before being grabbed by the goliath's large and he was being crushed.
FINISH TIME:
GEIZ
GIWA GIWA SHOOT!
A yellow-colored projective arrow directly hit the goliath and exploded, releasing Ghost from his hand while he stumbled back. Ghost quickly stood up despite the pain and turned to see Geiz, who seemed to be fine from getting hit, holding his weapon which was once the axe and now a bow with his ridewatch on its sloth. Geiz lowered his weapon and ran towards Ghost. "You okay?"
"Ugh… I'm fine. Never thought of being crushed by a large man," Ghost coughed though he was fine. He and Geiz began to dash towards the Golitiah without hesitation for the attack while Geiz switched his weapon from bow to axe.
Ritsuka snapped out of his excitement and became focused to help the riders to eliminate the goliath before he killed them and then his group, but he needed the information fast so he quickly turned to Mashu to ask. "Mashu, Is that the guy so-called the servant."
"Yes, Senpai. He's a servant. How do you know?" Mashu questioned Ritsuka, who had correctly guessed the goliath's identity.
"There is no time, Mashu. We need to assist them now," Ritsuka commanded firmly.
"Right, Senpai! But be careful, that servant is a berserker class." Mashu responded, shocking Ritsuka before running towards the riders.
'You gotta be kidding me!' thought Ristuka as he had now known the goliath's class because from what his knowledge had gathered from the diary; the berserker class was a simply berserk or mad crazy servant. He knew that this was going to be a difficult fight.
Geiz and Ghost flew backward and their back hit the ground. They groaned in pain that they took a hit from the goliath's blunt weapon. They tried to slash as many as they could to do some damage to him but his wound would instantly heal. They looked up to him who breathed heavily in anger. He charged towards them and swung his weapon down onto them but fortunately, his attack was blocked by Mashu's shield. Mashu almost lost her balance because of the strength displayed by the goliath, yet she managed to withstand it. However, he continuously hit her shield many times to make her fall. She does not know how long she would withstand his attack. As he was about to swing his weapon for a final hit. He heard a loud male voice.
"Hey, jerk! Can you take that punch!?"
The goliath turned his head around to the direction of the source, but his face was being punched with the projections video game word 'hit' came up by none other than Zi-O, who was in the additional piece of armor. His shoes were silver and black; silver shi and kneecap guards, pink and black leggings; over his chest was the game-pad chest piece, on his shoulders were two dark pink cartridges with silver protrusions; his both hands were covered with two large hammer-heads with green ends, neon-green and bright pink buttons with the letters 'A' and 'B' respectfully; his visor now have a pink spiky hair and pink katakana word saying 'Ex-Aid'. Kamen Rider Zi-O Ex-Aid Armor.
The goliath stumbled down and Zi-O continued to hit his face, giving him no chance to both recover and take his turn to attack. As he was hitting, the goliath blocked his punch by grabbing his left hammer-heads and swung him from left and right to smash his whole body against the objects and on the floor continuously. He dropped him down before gripping his hand into a fist and hit him who fortunately kept his both hands to block. Zi-O flew backward and hit a damaged wreck car again behind Mashu, Ghost, and Geiz.
"We need to find the way to destroy that guy right now!" Geiz said as he held his bow tightly, but he noticed the goliath began to charge towards them with his battle roar. "Here he comes!"
The group readied their own weapon to brace for impact as the goliath jumped to where he was going to land with his weapon raised behind his head.
FINISH TIME:
EX-AID!
SURE SURE SHOOTING!
A pink and green projectile flew towards the goliath and exploded on impact at him. His body fell to the ground with a loud thud. The group turned behind to see Zi-O, who was in his default form, aiming his weapon which had turned from sword to pistol.
"Everyone, Use your chance now!" Zi-O ordered loudly.
Hearing Zi-O's order, Ristuka ordered loudly, "Mashu, hit him while he's down!"
"Understood!" Mash jumped a high distance with her shield raised above her head.
"Yosh! Let me help!" Ghost pulled and pushed his belt's handle.
DAI KAIGAN:
ORE OMEGA DRIVE!
Ghost held his hands into a triangle shape as a light projection of a large eye and jumped up into the air with an eye symbol.
Geiz took out another ridewatch which was maroon red with a silver dial design. He turned the dial of the watch's faceplate to reveal the different masks belonging to the different riders of their era and they pressed the watch's button, conjuring a hologram circle of the silver and maroon mask with green eyes, that shaped like a stag beetle.
GARREN
Geiz inserted Garren Ridewatch into the slot of his weapon and quickly aimed at the goliath. He steadied his aim while pulling the trigger backward, creating a flame projection energy, but held it until he could not hold the energy anymore. His eyes focused on the goliath's left massive hand holding the weapon as his target. Seeing the goliath standing up while feeling an electric surge move throughout his weapon, he released it to fire.
FINISH TIME:
GARREN
GIWA GIWA SHOOT!
A fire projection bullet flew towards the target and obliterated it into pieces to drop his weapon. While being dropped down, Mashu swung the long end of her shield down into the goliath's head, shattering concrete and kicking up dust. Ghost aimed his right foot towards the top end of her shield and smashed into it with an orange explosion of light, adding more force to crush the goliath's head. Mashu and Ghost jumped back as the goliath slowly raised his right massive hand, but fell out of sudden, meaning that he had finally defeated. His massive muscular body disappeared into a purple light till there was no trace of him.
"Is this how Servants die," Ritsuka spoke aloud of his thought on the dying goliath.
"Yes and no, Sempai. Berserker merely returned to the throne of Heroes, a realm where all Heroic Spirits rest," explained Mashu.
"The throne of Heroes?" muttered Ghost as he listened to Mashu sharply.
'I'm damn glad that this is over. We would have died if I hadn't shot that large man's weapon off his weapon,' Geiz thought, hypothesizing about his action in the battle just now. He turned to see Ritsuka and Mashu having a little conversation and looked up to Olga who was speechless.
"Are you okay, miss? You seem to be exhausted taking all the heavy hits by yourselves." Zi-O asked, walking towards Mashu and Ritsuka.
"I'm alright and thank you for your assistance. Um… who are you?" Mashu questioned, not recognizing the rider group.
"They're Kamen Rider, Mashu. There's no need to be suspicious of them," Ritsuka cleared Mashu's suspicions of the riders.
"Kamen… Rider?" Mashu wondered aloud, raised her eyebrow as she never heard about them since she was isolated from society.
"They are the heroes who have been dealing with several crises back in Japan and some parts of the world, but they prefer not to be in public," Ritsuka explained to Mashu with the knowledge he had about Kamen Rider. "But I never saw this rider before because the rider looked a lot of currents."
"Eh. There're Kamen Riders in this world?" Zi-O asked out of surprise upon hearing Ritsuka's word. He wondered why Tsukasa did not explain about the rider of this world, but he guessed that the anomaly already began before Tskusa knew about it.
"In this world?" Both Ritsuka and Mashu asked loudly.
"HEY!"
Ritsuka, Mashu, and the riders turned around to see the irritated Olga standing near the communication hologram showing Roman who was both surprised and afraid of her shouting. Ritsuka laughed a little out of unease to think Olga had already reached the end of her patience because he completely forgot that she was here with them all the time.
"Ritsuka! Mashu! Bring them here now!" ordered Olga loudly. She needed some explanation from the riders for their reason for being here in this place and their identities.
[~~~~~]
Ritsuka was fortunate to explain to Olga about the riders, hoping to clear her misunderstanding of viewing them as enemies. He cannot blame her since they arrived at the singularity out of the incident and many hostile supernatural creatures were roaming around in the city. He was however shocked along with Mashu and Olga by the riders' unexpected revelation.
"So, you all come from your timeline to investigate the singularity in our time?" Olga said with her shocked tone.
"Yes, but you called this anomaly 'singularity'?" Asked Zi-O.
Olga nodded, "You're correct."
"Um… before you continue to explain, can you at least tell us who you are," Ghost asked with curiosity, interrupting the conversation.
"He does have a point, Director," Roman started. "We can't have our new friends mistrusting us."
Olga sighed, "True. I am Olga Marie Animusphere. Director of Chaldea. The boy with black hair is Ritsuka Fujimaru, our first master. The girl in armor is Mashu Kyrielite, a Demi-Servant. And the useless-looking man at the console behind me is our head of medicine, Romani Archaman."
'So harsh,' Roman thought.
"So mind telling me who you are? We know what you are but we want your actual name, rider's name, and title," Olga asked while expecting the rider in front of them to reveal identities.
"Sure, we can tell our identity but we can't transform back right here because you know… all of this happening," Zi-O reasoned, pointing at the destruction scene.
"Understandable," Olga accepted, knowing that the rider needed their armor in the dangerous situation although she wanted to see their appearance under their armor. She was fortunately
"Alright then. Tokiwa Sougo, Student of Hikarigamori High School, and my rider name is Zi-O. Nice to meet you," Zi-O introduced himself, shocking the Chaldea group that he was just the high school student who became a Kamen Rider.
"Myokoin Keito but call me Geiz. It is both my nickname and rider name. I'm also from the same school as Sougo," Geiz told his identity the Chaldea group. Ritsuka and Mashu were confused about him using his nickname as his rider name but what they never knew was that Geiz was his first original name in his and Sougo's original timeline.
"Tenkuji Takeru, A ghost hunter of Daitenku Temple, and I'm Kamen Rider Ghost. Pleased to meet you all," introduced Ghost with a quick polite bow. Unnoticed by the group, Roman and Olga widened their eyes at his last Japanese name, but they had to wait for him to transform back to see his face.
"Can we go back to the topic right now before something else kills us?" Geiz asked the group bluntly, wanting to know more about Singularity.
"Oh, yes, it is an anomaly that caused the future of humanity to be extinct by being in the past where we're currently in. We, Chaldea Security Organization, are hereby traveling through time to eliminate it to save the entire timeline whether it's in the past, current, or future," Olga explained about Singularity and Chaldea to the riders.
"Wow, I never thought I'd meet the time traveler group who dedicated themselves to save their future," Sougo commented as he was both impressed and excited to see another time traveler although he met few like him in his past adventure.
"Hey, look like he complements us," Roman said with a smile.
"Quiet, doctor," Olga shushed Roman. Although she hated to partner up with the commoner, she saw no point in not asking under the circumstance and she needed to get as much help as she could to eliminate singularity. She does her fake cough to catch the rider's attention, "Will you all lend us your powers in dealing with the disturbance in time and future endeavors?"
"Yeah, we're going to help to save your timeline and others," Sougo nodded along with the rider as they accepted Olga's proposal.
Seeing the riders accepting, the Chaldea group were relieved that they gained the help they needed to save their future. Mashu gave a smile before realizing something. "That's right, where's Fou, Sempai?"
"Now you mention it," Ritsuka said as he realized that he lost track of Fou during the battle with the Goliath.
"Fou!" Fou appeared from behind a wrecked vehicle and jumped onto Geiz's shoulder.
"What the hell is that?!" Wondered Geiz with shock as Fou climbed onto the top of his shoulder before jumping towards Ritsuka, landing on his head. It then jumped down from his head and landed on his right shoulder.
"What sort of the animal is that?" Sougo asked with curiosity, approaching Fou.
"This is Fou, Sougo-San," Mashu introduced the small creature as she petted on its head.
"Fou?" Sougo wondered as he lightly scratched Fou's chin as it liked being scratched before he stopped.
"Is it sort of Youkai?" Takeru wondered as he examined Fou but it snorted in anger at his assumption. He scratched the back of his hair in embarrassment. "Uh… Sorry, I guess that you aren't one, Fou-San."
Meanwhile, Olga turned around to Roman but Kota, who had just joined in their conversation just now, was trying to decide the next move but Kota interrupted it in surprise with a loud voice. "Eh, Kamen Rider is here and they are from another timeline?!"
"Yes, they are and I know it's hard to believe but we all know that time travel and magic exist so there's no point to be surprised and don't shout for goodness sake," said Olga with her annoyed tone.
"Sorry, Director, but I never thought the riders are here to help us to save our future but I must not be surprised that the multiverse is real even though they're from their timeline," Kota replied with a little excitement.
"Well, I guess we're not the only ones who are alone since there are many worlds out there. I wonder what kind of alternate version of myself would be like?" Wondered Roman as he thought of his various alternate versions of himself.
"Maybe you're a pastry chef from another world since you like to eat cake," Kota said with his guess.
"Possibly and it does not sound bad that I'm the pastry chef," Roman laughed, imagining himself as a pastry chef making pastry food such as cake, bread, or biscuit.
"Can you two focus on the matter first right now?!" Olga roared at Roman and Kota irritatedly. She would not believe that they were joking while she and her group were suffering to survive the burning city though they handled it well.
"Sorry," Roman and Kota apologized.
Olga sighed. "Ok, I already decided that we're going to begin our investigation on Singularity F. Even though I hated to rely on the commoner, I think we should get more help as we can."
"I wish you luck, if a emergency situation comes up, please contact me," said Roman.
"Hmph! We can send it as SOS, but nobody will come to save us."
"Director…"
Olga pressed the button to cut off the signal, interrupting Roman's protest.
"Director, are you sure about this? We could wait here for help instead," Mashu suggested.
"But Mashu… I don't think we get some help right now since the bombing," Ritsuka stated, not to hurt Mashu's feelings.
"Bombing?" Asked Sougo with a confused tone.
"That's right, you don't know what happened back at Chaldea," Masu said. "The team that was supposed to be on this mission got caught in a bombing. It left most of them in critical condition, leaving just me and Senpai."
"Including the staff in Chaldea," Ritsuka added with a painful expression while gripping his right hand.
"That's horrible," Takeru said with a sad tone.
"But there is more to that. After this incident, I can imagine how many protests we'll get from the Association. We can't go home empty-handed. Sorry, but you'll have to help me, everyone," Asked Olga.
"Roger!"
"R-Roger."
"Okay."
"Got it!"
Olga sighed annoyedly. "I never thought the day would come when I'd have to rely on a commoner."
Everyone suddenly heard a beeping sound and Olga rolled up her sleeves to reactivate her communication device to connect to Chaldea. "What is it? Can't you see how annoying-"
"Please get away from there right now!" shouted Roman.
Ritsuka, Mashu, and Olga gave an alarmed look before Mashu sensed the dangers and turned around. "I'm detecting signs of an enemy! This is… a Servant!"
"Servant?" Woz asked, mentioning the last word from Mashu.
"We need to move now!" Geiz shouted as he began to run. "Come on!"
Everyone began to run.
"What about using our bike, Geiz?!" Sougo suggested loudly as he ran to Geiz's pace.
"There's no time including our Time Mazine because of this entire situation," Geiz asked, pointing to the destruction street.
"Point taken!" Zi-O agreed, knowing what Geiz meant. The rider's bike could eventually slow them down due to the destruction of streets filled with wrecked vehicles and debris including soon-to-be collapsed buildings, blocking their ride. Time Mazine was also out of option because they might get hit just like Den-Liner. All the group could do was run.
2004
Fuyuki City, Japan.
"What the heck? What's a Servant doing here?" Asked Ritsuka as he tried to keep up to their pace.
"It's a Holy Grail War!" responded Mashu.
"Holy Grail War?" Zi-O repeated Mashu's word as he ran near them at the same speed. "Is that some sort of big secret war?"
"Yes! It's been confirmed that in 2004, a special ritual called a "Holy Grail War" took place in this city. A Holy Grail is a magic vessel that contains the foundation of all forms of magic." Mashu explained further
"You mean…?" Ritsuka asked after realizing that he had forgotten the part of his knowledge.
"It grants Wishes," Mashu simplified.
"So basically a golden magic cup can grant everyone's wishes to come true?" Geiz clarified Mashu's word. "If so, everyone is too attracted to want their stupid wish."
"You're not wrong, wishes can drive people, and a wish-granting machine sounds too good to pass up." Ghost said since he had experienced such an incident before.
"Correct, Geiz-San and Ghost-San. Mages in the city of Fuyuki completed a Holy Grail and summoned seven Heroic Spirit Knights to activate it. The seven Masters battled it out, and in the end, the survivor obtained the Holy Grail."
"A Battle Royal for a Wish?" Zi-O muttered, remembering his time in his original timeline as he and Geiz encountered the rider, who was related to the topic that they were discussing. He was unaware that Olga was looking at him with curiosity but she could not listen to his muttering.
"Which class are you, Miss Kyrielite? I'm certain that you're not among the seven classes," Ghost said.
"Yes, I'm none of them. I have no idea which kind of class am I?" Mashu confirmed Ghost's word.
"So, why the Holy Grail War hasn't ended?" Asked Ritsuka.
"The conclusion wasn't recorded. Did the ritual succeed? Did it fail? Whatever did happen, the Servants' actions ended without anyone knowing about them," Mashu said as the group reached a deserted stone path with a railing nearby a river that was colored with dark red like blood.
"Then why-"
"Fou! Fou!" Shouted Fou causing the group to stop as they stopped in front of a large number of chains that bind between two lamp posts.
"What the?" Zi-O said as he slowly approached the chains to examine.
"What are those?" Asked Ghost.
"Is that… chains?" Ritsuka joined Zi-O in examining and moved his right hand to touch them.
"Stop! Don't touch them!" warned Olga with her serious face.
"Huh?" Ritsuka wondered as he turned around while Zi-O kept his eyes on the chains before they suddenly moved to attack.
"Ritsuka!" Zi-O shouted as he tackled Rituska away from the attacking chains The metal rod contacted the chain upon hitting and turned into a stone. They landed back where Mashu and Olga stood.
"Master!"
"I'm alright, Mashu," Ritsuka replied.
"Too bad. The fresh prey got away."
The group heard the woman's sadistic voice and turned around to see a swirl of purple light formed to reveal the form of a hooded woman with purple hair in a black cloak. In her hands was a staff with a crescent moon blade on it.
"An unknown Servant and an unknown Master. Along with four warriors in strange armor. How young and fresh…" The hooded woman with a gleeful smile as her snake-like, yellow eyes stared at them.
Mashu jogged out of the group and readied her shield while both Ritsuka and Mashu stood to their feet. "A Servant! Though I don't see her Master…"
"This world has already gone mad. A Servant without a Master doesn't surprise me," Olga said as she pointed her finger at the unknown Servant.
"But which Heroic Spirit is she?" wondered Ghost.
The hooded woman walked forward and the group now noticed that around her were stone statues of people. Some statues were either in between the chains or wrapped around. She leaned on one with a fearful expression and scratched her clawed left hand across his face. Ghost narrowed his eyes towards both statues and the chains for examining. His eyes widened in shock under his helmet as he realized something horrible about the statute.
Ritsuka became shocked after finding out about the statues. "Those are…"
"...former humans," Olga finished concluding. "Looks like that Servant turned them to stone."
"Wait a minute, I know what she is from the book that I read: She was one of the three Gorgon sisters and she must be the youngest sibling, Medus!" Ghost shouted, figuring out the woman's identity due to the known hint from Olga and the book that he read.
"You mean the woman with snake hair?" Geiz asked, gaining a nod from Ghost. Although he never read an actual greek mythology book, he did watch the movie based on it and gained a little basic knowledge from watching.
"Oh? So you already discerned my identity," Medusa said with an unsurprised tone. "It doesn't matter now since you're all going to turn away."
"Why do you do that?" Ritsuka asked uncomfortably, not understanding Medusa's intentions.
"Why, you ask? When you wander into my hunting ground, I'm free to tree you however I please, am I not?" Medusa turned to the statue before tearing the head off, causing the blood to spill upwards and the blood-stained both her hood and face
"Holy shit," Geiz said out of shock.
Everyone was put off by Medusa's action and wavered a little in her presence as the wrong move could cause their death.
"Do not worry, I've lost one statue, but now I'm going to have three new ones," Medusa said as she licked the blood on her cheek and it absorbed.
"Our only option is to fight," Mashu stated.
"Can you take her?" asked Olga.
"Yes."
"Zi-O, Geiz, Ghost, get ready just in case," Olga instructed the riders.
A clattering sound of bone was loudly heard, causing the group to turn around to see the group of skeleton soldiers charging towards them with their various weapons. They could not believe that they were not only to fight Medusa but also the group of skeleton soldiers. Geiz groaned in annoyance while summoning out his respective weapon. "Oh, come on!"
"Director Marie, Leave to me and Geiz to handle those guys while you rest focusing on attacking Medusa," suggested Ghost as he and Geiz faced towards the charging skeleton group in their fighting stance.
"But…" Olga was about to protest but Zi-O stopped her.
"Don't worry about them, they can take care of themselves and this is not our first time to face an army of monsters," Zi-O reassured Olga as he turned to his fighting stance with his weapon. "We need to focus on her now."
"Oh, how bold. How fresh. Is this your first time fighting as a Servant? Then, as your Senpai, I'll teach you," Medusa said as she was ready to attack. "Be careful of what you say and do. For once the word "fight" passes your lips, it has already begun."
Medusa instantly disappeared, leaving a purple light around her, and reappeared in front of Mashu. She raised her scythe and struck down against Mashu's shield. Zi-O quickly switched his weapon from sword to gun while announcing.
ZYU!
Zi-O began to fire at Medusa but she easily dodged and deflected his shot with her scythe, but Mashu dashed towards and swung her shield to bash her away. However, Medusa shielded herself with her scythe and chain and dragged backward, leaving the trail of her dragging feet. Her ear picked up the unknown announcement out of a sudden.
KEN!
Medusa looked forward to seeing Zi-O charging towards her and quickly clashed his sword with her scythe to protect herself. This caused their clashing weapon to spark between them.
[~~~~~]
Meanwhile, Geiz and Ghost slashed at the skeleton soldiers with ease, but they took too long to fight due to their huge number. Geiz dodged the shooting arrow from Skeleton Archers and switched his axe into a box. He then shot them while trying to dodge the skeleton's attack nearby. Ghost moved away and took out a red eyecon.
"Let's go, Musashi!" said Ghost loudly as he pressed the red eyecon, creating a hologram of dual katana swords across each other.
Ghost opened his belt, slotted it inside, and closed. His black and orange Parka Ghost disappeared and a red Parka Ghost with both sword arms flew out of his belt, slashing against the shooting arrow and the nearby skeleton.
EYE! BATCHIRI MINAA~~! BATCHIRI MINAA~~!
Ghost pushed the handle to change his form.
KAIGAN! MUSASHI!
(Biwa chord)
KETTOU! ZUBATTO! CHO KENGOU!
(Biwa chords and slashing sounds)
The red Parka Ghost put itself on Ghost. His mask lit up with a red glow, his faceless was placed with the same as the hologram and a silver blade in the top middle. His red jacket was armed with a silver armor guard shoulder and the two sword-like pieces attached to his shoulder and hanging from the back. Kamen Rider Ghost Musashi Damashii.
Ghost separated his weapon from its twin-sided bladed sword into dual one-sided swords and began to slash the skeleton soldiers in his way.
[~~~~~]
"You're all really desperate. Excellent."
While Zi-O flew back by Medusa's powerful swing, Medusa began to charge towards Mashu and swung again into Mashu's shield, forcing her to hold her ground. She changed to the blunt end of her weapon and stabbed forward into the shield, causing sparks to fly.
"But be careful. My lance is the lance of immortal killing. Any wound this lance delivers cannot be healed by any means. Even if by some miracle you could completely heal your entire body. Do you understand? If you make the slightest error, you'll be a failure of a Servant for the rest of your life!" Medusa said condescendingly. She broke Mashu's guard, causing her shield to be rebounded back and she reeled her lance back, ready to attack her.
However, Zi-O quickly jumped towards Medusa with his hand gripping his weapon as its blade coated in magenta energy.
TIME CHARGE: 5… 4… 3… 2… 1… ZERO TIME!
Medusa was so distracted in her speech that she did not expect Zi-O to plan a sudden attack.
GIRI GIRI GIRI!
Zi-O swung his weapon with a powerful slash at Medusa and sent her flying backward a little although the blade did not land an impact on her but her weapon. Seeing the opening, Ritsuka began to shout, "Mashu, Do it now!"
"Yes, Sempai," responded Mashu as she charged towards Medusa and bashed her with her shield forward, colliding into the pavement, dust erupting and rock smashing apart.
"Did we do it?" Asked Zi-O.
Medusa jumped up from the dust and landed on the chains. "Being too fresh can grate on the nerves."
Medusa put her hands on her hair and pulled it out of her hood, causing the hair to temporarily transform into snakes before they transformed into more chains, wrapping around the group into a wall and trapping them.
"Sougo!" Geiz shouted at Zi-O who was now trapped within the area blocked by the chain, before deflecting the skeleton's attack as he needed to focus on the remaining skeleton soldiers.
Zi-O and Mashu quickly jumped back to where Olga and Ritsuka stood and readied themselves to fight her.
"I will entangle you all with my hair," Stated Medusa.
"This is going to be the hardest fight," Zi-O said as he tightens his weapon's grip.
"Mashu, can you still fight?" Asked Ritsuka with concern.
"Yes, I can, Senpai. Thank you for worrying for me," Mashu replied with a smile. "Even so, we must fight to get out alive."
"Agree," Zi-O responded, agreeing with Mashu.
"You've got guts." A male commented on Mashu's bravery out of nowhere, causing the group to turn around to find the source. "A little girl is a little girl, but you seem pretty strong. That's why I can't leave you like this."
"Who are you?" Medusa asked with displeasure at the sudden appearance of an intruder.
"Who? Look at me and you'll know, old friend. Now!"
Hearing a gunshot, Medusa quickly looked up to see a couple of silver bullets raining down on her. Medusa was forced to jump off the chain before it hit the chain.
FLAME SHOOTING STRIKE!
HII HII HII HII HII HII!
Medusa looked up again and saw a flame projectile coming down on her. She tried to jump back but it hit on the impact of the ground, causing the paved road to explode with bricks flying and flame.
"What the?"
A figure landed on the ground, revealing to be a black-armored man with a red torso-plate that looked like a ruby jewel, his shoulders were equipped with silver rings acting as shoulder-guards, and his red and silver helmet. He held a gun with a black hand at the end of his weapon. Kamen Rider Wizard.
'I never thought she is a real medusa in this world besides the phantom one that I had trouble to fight with,' Wizard thought while examining Medusa.
"Haruto-San," Zi-O said, revealing Haruto's identity as Wizard lifted his gun to point at Medusa.
The remaining skeleton soldiers were about to charge towards Geiz and Ghost but they were hit into pieces from above. Geiz and Ghost looked up to the sky to see an orange and grey armored person with an orange mechanical wing. His left lower body and right upper body with his right shoulder with a small wing were clad in orange while his both right lower body and left the upper body with a shoulder shaped like a weapon trigger and his left chest with bullets were clad in grey. His orange and grey helmet has a gray Gatling gun-shaped visor on the left and an orange-shaped wing visor on the right. He was holding an orange Gatling-shaped pistol, aiming at the skeleton soldiers. Kamen Rider Build HawkGatling Form.
Medusa landed on the other set of chains while her minor wounds slowly disappeared from her body. She looked at Wizard with an unamused expression. "Another odd warrior… You there, are you with whoever talked just now?"
"Why don't you ask him yourself?" responded Wizard.
"What?"
A blue light appeared before died to reveal a cloaked man in his fur coat. He smiled under his hood, causing Medusa to widen her eyes in shock as she instantly recognized him.
"You're…" Medusa growled, "Caster!"
The man took off his hood to reveal his entire face with his blue short spiky hair and red eyes. He smiled in anticipation of battle.
