Hello Fanfiction readers! Ashbel Longhart here to bring you another chapter of The Final Revolution! I'm glad to see people are still reading this story despite the mixed feelings. Anyway, today is the day that this story will slowly, keyword SLOWLY, diverge into being its own story. This will probably be the last time I use an episode for the show as a basis for a chapter…hopefully. If I do use an episode from the show, it's because I got myself stuck with writing a chapter. But enough about that, cue disclaimer!

(Disclaimer: I do not own Puella Magi Madoka Magica or Kamen Rider Ryuki. They both belong to their respective owners. Any songs or anything familiar also belong to their respective owners. I just own this story and my OC's. Please enjoy.)

Now then, today's chapter, Kyoko finally makes her debut and with it, more Riders! Slowly, but surely, Riders will appear one by one as the Rider War finally commences! Let the battle begin and let's ride! If you do not fight, you will not survive!

Wish 5: The New Magical Girl in Town/The New Mask in Town!


(Last Time)

"A mysterious man suddenly just appeared before you, gave you a vision that showed Mami dying, and made you contract with the dragon that has been trying to eat you for the past week?"

"Forming a Contract and gaining powers in return, it's almost like a Magical Girl Contract."

"I don't have time for your games, Zero."

"Now, to answer your first question, a Kamen Rider is someone who has obtained an Advent Deck and has contracted with a Mirror Monster."

"'Ryuga' is Ryuga's Rider name or in full, Kamen Rider Ryuga. And for you, you're called Kamen Rider Ryuki."

"Kyubey! I've decided what I want to wish for!"

"Is this the power you promised us? You want us to be Kamen Riders ourselves?"

You three can become Riders and throw yourselves in an endless life of fighting until you die, or you can choose not to become Riders, not risk your lives, and live a peaceful life until you die later. And if you do accept, then simply contract with these three Mirror Monsters here before you. They're eagerly waiting for your answer."

"We accept this contract!"

"Sayaka!?"

"So, how'd I do? Not too bad for a beginner if I do say so myself."

"More Kamen Rider…!?"


(Now)

A Gigazelle screamed in pain before it was stabbed in the face by Knight's Dark Visor. Its life force rose into the air while the body faded before Darkwing flew down and absorbed the ball of life energy before flying away.

"And that's the last of them." Knight said before sheathing his Dark Visor.

"Well, that was easier than I thought." Zolda said, lowering his Magna Visor.

"Easy for you to say. You kept shooting them from afar." Raia said, helped Haru up. "You okay, Haru?"

"Yeah…" Haru said as he looked at the three new Riders in front of him. "Who are you guys? And how do you know my name?"

"Why wouldn't we know your name? We friends after all." Knight said.

"Friends?" Haru blinked under his helmet until he realized something. The way Knight handled a blade, the way they all fought. "Renji!? Alex!? Takeru!?"

"Yep. Took you long enough." Alex said, smiling under his helmet.

"When did you guys become Riders!?" Haru asked.

"About a couple of minutes ago." Takeru said. "Now, it's time we leave this place. We've been here long enough."

"Only after you tell me how you guys became Riders!" Haru demanded.

"We'll explain when we get out of here." Alex said. "Now come on. Madoka was worried sick about you."

"Madoka! Is she alright!?" Haru asked as he left Madoka all alone when he was dragged in here.

"She's fine. She's with the others." Knight said. "Now come on. It's time we leave."


(Meanwhile, in the Real World)

Just on the outskirts of the city, one lone figure was eating while standing on one of the many electric towers that surrounded the city. With her up there was Kyubey who was here to meet the girl.

"I didn't expect you to come, of all people." Kyubey said.

"I heard that this city was getting an unusual influx of Witches so I came here when the number of Witches in my territory was running low." The girl said as she ate her crepe which she had brought earlier. "I hear Mami is still kicking around."

"Yes. A new Magical Girl was just born not too long ago so no doubt Mami will take her under her wing to show her the ways of being Magical Girl." Kyubey said.

"Oh? So she's finally found a replacement for me, has she?" The girl said before she quickly finished her treat and threw away the wrappings. "Well then, in that case, maybe I should show that rookie what it really means to be a Magical Girl?"

"What are you planning, Kyoko?" Kyubey asked.

Kyoko Sakura, a young girl with long, pale red hair tied in a high ponytail tied by a black ribbon with a set of risen bangs which frame her red eyes, wearing a black crop-top hidden by a light sea foam hoodie which is unzipped at the bottom, revealing her belly button, denim shorts with fur around the bottom edges, and black below-the-knee boots, smirked before she jumped off the tower and disappeared down below.

Kyubey did nothing but sigh. "That girl, as wild as ever…Hm?" Kyueby turned its head to a certain direction. "What is that energy I'm sensing? It feels just like…that boy, Haru, but vastly different."

Unknown to all that very night, the entire city was about to be shaken to its very core from that moment on.


(Insert: Connect by ClariS)

(Kawashita yakusoku wasurenai yo me) The song starts with the camera rising up to show two figures, a boy and a girl as they were surrounded by glistening mirrors.

(Wo toji tashikameru) The boy and girl turned out to be none other than Haru Yamamoto and Madoka Kaname back to back.

(Oshiyoseta yami furiharatte susumu yo) Madoka's hair shadowed over her eyes as she looked like she was trying to hold back tears while Haru tightly but gently held one of her hands in comfort while the other hand was holding onto Ryuki's Deck Box. In the mirrors their reflections differ from themselves as Madoka's reflections showed her in her Magical Girl outfit while Haru's reflection was that of Kamen Rider Ryuki. Suddenly, the mirrors shatter into pieces as the title appeared.

(Itsu ni nattara nakushita mirai wo) Haru along with Renji, Alex, and Takeru all wake up to start the day, still a bit groggy, but got up nonetheless.

(Watashi koko de mata miru koto dekiru no?) The four boys brushed their teeth side by side before the scene fast forwards to them finishing putting on their school uniform before rushing out the door.

(Afuredashita fuan no kage wo) The boys are seen running as fast as they can as to not be late for school when Haru notices something up ahead. Up ahead, Madoka along with Sayaka and Hitomi were seen smiling at the approaching group.

(Nando demo saite kono sekai ayun de kou) The four slowed down to a stop and walked with the girls to school. Not too far from them, Mami is seen walking by herself to school, Kyoko was nearby eating as always, and Homura was walking from a distance, looking at the group, but more specifically, Madoka. While the rest of the group talked with one another, Haru and Madoka glanced at one another smiled.

(Tomedonaku kizamareta) The scene changes to show Madoka with Kyoko and Mami to her right and Sayaka and Homura to her left all transforming into their Magical Girl outfits before they go to fight a Witch.

(Toki ha ima hajimari tsuge) Haru and the boys try to run up to them, but are stopped by mirrors. They bang on the mirrors to get the girls, but they didn't hear or notice them as they were too busy fighting.

(Kawaranai omoi wo nose) The boys bang and bang on the mirrors stopping them before Haru had enough and punched the thing, surprised to see that he had formed a crack. He continues to punch and punch the mirror in front of him, forming cracks as the others followed his lead, getting the same results.

(Tozasareta tobira akeyou) They throw punch after punch before finally, they all throw one single punch that brakes the mirrors right in front of them before they dash through as when they passed, they all had transformed; Ryuki for Haru, Knight for Renji, Zolda for Alex, and Raia for Takeru.

(Mezameta kokoro ha hashiridashita mirai wo egaku tame) Just when Sayaka was about to get hit, Knight swoops in and saves her just in time, holding Sayaka in a bridal position as his Contract Monster, Darkwing providing him wings to fly. Mami jumps back to avoid an attack when a whip wraps around her waist and pulls her to safety as the culprit was none other than Raia who caught her in his arms while they rode on his Contract Monster, Evildiver. An arm was about to grab Kyoko when it was shot. Looking behind her, Kyoko saw that it was Zolda who had shot the arm as his Contract Monster, Magnugiga stood behind him.

(Muzukashii michi de tachidomatte mo sora ha) Multiple hands went to grab both Madoka and Homura when suddenly flames burned the hands away as appearing from the flame were both Ryuki and Ryuga as the red Rider stood in front of Madoka protectively while the black Rider did the same for Homura as both Riders had their Contract Monsters, Dragreder and Dragblacker float next to them, ready for battle.

(Kirei na aosa de itsumo mattete kureru) All the Riders prepare to execute their Final Vents while the girls prepare to use their strongest attacks on the Witch.

(Dakara kowakunai) Suddenly, in Haru's eyes, he sees the shadow images of the other Riders participating in the Rider War before he jumps up with Dragreder coiling around him.

(Mou nani ga atte mo kujikenai) In quick shots, all the Riders unleash their Final Vents with the girls unleash their great attacks before the scene changes to a puddle where all five Rider Decks laid on as the reflection showed the girls' Soul Gems. Ryuga's reflected Homura's, Raia's reflected Mami's, Zolda reflected Kyoko's, Knight reflected Sayaka's, and Ryuki's reflected Madoka's as the song comes to an end.


(The Next Day)

"So let me get this straight. You guys met Zero who came to all of you and promised you power, you met up at the school at 9 o'clock sharp, and he offered you guys to become Riders and you accepted?" Haru said, summarizing what he had been told by his friends.

"Yeah, that's basically it." Renji said.

"Didn't I tell you guys about the risks of being a Rider? This isn't fun and games." Haru said.

"I told them, but they still went along with it." Mami said.

"We know the risks well and we still chose to accept this power." Takeru said. "Did you really expect us to just sit our butts down while you go out and fight monsters all day?"

"Well, no…"

"You know us better than anyone here, Haru. You should know that we're not the type of guys who stand by the sidelines and watch other people fight our battles." Alex said. "So whether you like it or not, we're all Riders here, risks and all."

Haru sighed, seeing that his friends were not about to rethink their decision of becoming Riders. "Okay, fine. If that's how it's gonna be, then let's make sure we help each other out."

"We've been doing that since we bought the small apartment room." Renji said before the bell rang and school finally began.

"Alright, students, take your seats. Class is in session." The teacher said, coming into the class room as every student in the room took their seats. "Alright class, today we have a transfer student. Please welcome him." The teacher motioned the student at the door to come in and when the teen walked in, everyone got a good look at him.

He was the same age as everyone in class, 15 years old. He has brown, chocolate hair that reaches down to his chin. His facial features actually resembled the male Black and White Pokémon trainer except his eyes were colored blue and he had a red streak of hair that covered his right eye.

"My name is Shou Kagamine. It's nice to meet everyone." The now named Shou introduced himself to the class before bowing.

"Mr. Kagamine here has been who has been studying abroad until his guardians decided to enroll him here. Please, treat him with respect." The teacher said. "Now then, Mr. Kagamine, you seat is right behind Mr. Yamamoto in the back."

Shou nodded before he made his way to his seat. Along the way, he stops to greet Haru. "Hello. Looks like we're seat neighbors."

"Yeah." Haru said as he decided to be nice and offered his hand to Shou. "I'm Haru Yamamoto. If there's anything you need, just ask the class representative."

"Thank you." Shou said before he takes his seat and thus, class began.


(Flashback)

The sun set over the horizon, basking the skies in a reddish-orange glow as Sayaka stood at the roof of a building with her and Kyubey being the only ones up here.

"Now, just to make sure, can you really grant any wish?" Sayaka asked.

"Of course! Don't fret, I can certainly grant your wish without any problems." Kyubey said confidently. "Now, are you ready?"

Sayaka took a deep breath to calm her nerves before saying with calm, determination, "Yeah. Do it."

"Okay then, here I go." Kyubey said as there was a shift in the air, signaling that the wish had been granted. Now, for the next part. Kyubey lifted up its ears and as if they were an extra pair of hands, Kyubey's ears went towards Sayaka's chest and dug right into her very being, causing her slight pain.

"Don't move. This will all be over soon." Kyubey said telepathically before a bright blue glow erupted from within Sayaka, making her gasp in surprise and pain. Then, appearing from Sayaka as if it had always been inside of her was her very own Soul Gem, looking exactly like Mami's except the color was blue.

"Now, accept it." Kyubey said as Sayaka took hold of her Soul Gem. "From now on, this shall be your fate."

(Flashback End)


"Mmm…?" Sayaka mumbled as she awoke dream/memory, blinking a few times before she yawned and stretched her arms. "Is class already over?"

"It ended just a few minutes ago." Madoka said.

"Oh, are you too having trouble sleeping?" Hitomi asked before suddenly yawning. "Excuse me. That wasn't very ladylike of me."

"Is something, wrong, Hitomi? Not getting enough sleep?" Sayaka asked, acting like she didn't know the real reason why Hitomi was so exhausted.

"Yes. I was at the hospital and had to deal with the police until late." Hitomi asked.

"Eh? What happened?" Sayaka asked, still acting dumb.

"It appears I was sleep walking or something. When I came to yesterday, there were many collapsed people around me." Hitomi said as she barely remembered last night.

"Huh? What's up with that?" Sayaka asked.

"The doctor said it was called a collective hallucination or something." Hitomi said. "I have to have a complete physical after school today too. What a bother…"

"If it's such a bother then you shouldn't have come to school." Sayaka said.

"I couldn't do that. Then it'd be like I was actually sick. People at home would get even more worried about me."

"I guess honor students are like that. You're pretty tough!" Sayaka said as she laughed.

As the trio talked amongst one another, Homura watched them from her seat, thinking of what to do now before she would meet up with Ryuga.


(Later)

"Ahh~! It's been awhile since I've felt this good. It's refreshing, so very refreshing!" Sayaka said as she and Madoka lay next to the riverbank.

"I'm glad to see you're feeling well, but Sayaka, aren't you scared of being Magical Girl?" Madoka asked.

"Hm? Well, yeah, I am a bit scared." Sayaka admitted. "But, the thought of losing you and Hitomi to that Witch yesterday was even scarier. Plus, I took care of that Witch pretty easily. Mami even said I did well for a beginner!" Sayaka smiled as she stood up. "I feel like I can do anything right now! I, Magical Girl Sayaka will do everything she can to protect Mitakahara City alongside Magical Girl Mami!"

"I'm envious, honestly." Madoka said. "Everyone had gained some kind of power and can now fight alongside one another while I'm still struggling to decide my wish."

"Well, don't decide on a wish too soon because of that. After all, this is a once and a lifetime opportunity. You gotta really think about it before you decide." Sayaka said. "As for me, I don't regret the wish I made."

"What did you wish for by the way?" Madoka asked, curious.

"Well, in the end, I ended up using my wish for Kyousuke, but like I said, I don't regret it." Sayaka said. "You should have seen him yesterday. He was about to give up. I couldn't just stand there and do nothing. So I made my wish and there's nothing Renji or anyone can say that'll make me think otherwise."

"Renji?" Madoka said, confused why her friend brought up the boy's name.

Sayaka winced at the slip up before reluctantly telling her friend what happened. "Renji and I sort of had an argument which ended with me slapping him in the face."

"You what!? Why would you do that!?" Madoka asked, surprised to hear that her friend did such a thing.

"He questioned me about my decision about my wish and he said some things that really got me angry so I slapped him without even thinking." Sayaka said, scratching her neck. "I won't apologize though. It's his fault I did what I did. Until he apologizes, I'm gonna avoid him like the plague."

"That's a little mean, don't you think?"

"He's a big boy. He can handle it." Sayaka said before he grabbed her stuff. "Anyway I have to go."

"Huh? Do you have something to do?" Madoka asked.

"Yeah, just a little something." Sayaka said before she took her leave. "See ya tomorrow!"

Madoka waved goodbye to her friend before she decided to do something for herself and head to the mall to do a little shopping for herself, maybe even meet up with Takeru since she knew he does fortune telling at the mall for anyone who's curious enough to pay.


(With the boys)

"So…" Haru began.

"What?" Renji asked before moving forward.

*CLACK-CLACK-CLACK!*

"Is something going on between you and Sayaka?" Haru asked as he blocked Renji's shinai.

"Why do you ask?" Renji said as he unconsciously increased his power behind his strikes.

*CLACK-CLACK-CLACK!*

"Well, I just noticed that you guys were avoiding each other all day at school."

"You're wide open!"

*CLACK!*

"Gah! Haru cried out as he was disarmed and fell down on his butt while his shinai fell the floor away from him.

"You have to do better than that if you want to properly wield a sword." Renji said, taking off his kendo helmet.

"Hey, we're not all a part of the kendo and fencing club like you." Haru said as he took his helmet off as well. "As always, you're always so serious when you take hold of anything related to a sword."

"The sword is meant to be in the hands of those who are serious, not jokesters." Renji said in a serious tone.

"You're avoiding my question." Haru pointed out.

Renji sighs before he goes over to the bench and puts his helmet and shinai down before taking off his gloves and then grabs two water bottles, throwing one to Haru who caught it. "Look, me and Sayaka had a bit of an argument, that's all."

"That's all? Renji, you've never argued with Sayaka before." Haru said. "Did it have something to do with Kamijo?"

"Kind of." Renji admitted before sipping his bottle. Haru was the only one who he could admit this to so he continued speaking. "Sayaka was gonna use her wish to heal Kamijo's hand and I kind of…I don't' know. I said some things and she slapped me."

"She slapped you?" Haru asked, surprised.

"I deserved it." Renji said. "I plan to apologize to her after we've both calmed down a little."

"Well, make sure you don't wait too long. You know how girls hate to wait." Haru said before getting up. "Well, we better clean up. Takeru's out at the mall doing fortune telling which means Alex is coming home with today's groceries after he gets off work which means it's our turn to cook."

"You go on ahead. I want to do a bit more training." Renji said before finishing his bottle.

"Suit yourself." Haru said before he went to the locker room to take the kendo equipment off.

Now alone, Renji put back on his gloves and helmet before he began to swing around his shinai, venting out his frustrations.


(Hospital)

Once again, Sayaka was at the hospital to visit Kyousuke, this time by her lonesome for the first time in a while. Mentally, she was smiling as the results of her wish for Kyousuke were plain to see to all.

"I see. So you're not getting released yet." Sayaka said after hearing the news.

"Yeah. My legs still need to undergo rehab; I need to walk after all. Also the doctors want to run some tests on my hand since they don't know why my hand healed all of a sudden." Kyouske said.

"Well, how do you feel?" Sayaka asked. "Is there anything wrong with your body?"

"No. There's so much that isn't wrong, it's scary." Kyousuke said. "It's even making me think being in an accident was all just a bad dream, like I'm not even sure why I'm in this bed anymore. But you were right, Sayaka. Miracles do exist." After that, Kyousuke went silent.

Sayaka noticed this of course and asked, "What's wrong?"

"I…said a lot of things to you last time." Kyousuke said, looking down in shame. "It doesn't matter how depressed I was, I…I should have said those things. I'm really sorry. Renji was right about how I should't have yelled at you like I did yesterday."

"Oh forget Renji. Don't worry about it. You shouldn't make such a sad face. Now that you're healed, you should be happy right now." Sayaka said.

"I guess you're right. It's just hard to take in that this is all real." Kyousuke said.

"Well, that makes sense." Sayaka said before she checked the time on her watch and said, "I guess it's about time."

"Hm? Time for what?" Kyousuke asked as Sayaka got up from her chair and brought over a wheelchair.

"For some fresh air." Sayaka said before helping her crush onto the wheel chair and wheeled him out of the room and too the elevator, their destination being the roof.

"Why are we going to the roof?" Kyousuke asked, confused as to what Sayaka was planning.

"Hehe, you'll see." Sayaka giggled as the elevator went up to the roof. Once up and out, Kyousuke was greeted with the sight of the nurses and doctors that have been taking care of him as well as his father, with a case in hand, and his mother as the doctors and nurses all started clapping.

"Minna(Everyone)?" Kyousuke said in surprise and confusion as Sayaka wheeled him over to them.

"The real celebration won't be until you get out of the hospital but since your hand healed faster than your legs, I had this set up." Sayaka said as Kyousuke's father stepped forth with the case.

"I-Is that…!" Kyousuke said, recognizing the case in his father's hand.

"You told me to get rid of it, but I just couldn't bring myself do it." Kyousuke's father said as he presented the case and opened it, revealing Kyousuke's violin.

Kyousuke was speechless. He looked at everyone and they nodded before Kyousuke wheeled himself over to his father and grabbed his violin and bow, something he hasn't done in so long.

"Try it. Don't be afraid." His father insisted, backing away a bit to give his some space as Sayaka stood with the rest.

Kyouske looked at everyone waiting for him to play and quite frankly, he was beyond nervous. He hasn't played in so long that he was afraid he was rusty. But despite being nervous, he lifted up his violin and raised his bow for he needed to know if it was more than just his hand that was healed. So he set his bow upon the strings of his instrument…and played the first song that came to his mind, soon filling the air with music.

Sayaka smiled as her crush played music for the first time in a long time and thought to herself, 'This is good. Renji was wrong. This was the right thing to do.' She looks at the Soul Gem turned ring around her finger and just let herself listen to the music. 'I'm the happiest I can possibly be right now!'

Unknown to her, Sayaka was being watched from afar as through a pair of magic enhanced binoculars, the girl from last night, Kyoko Sakura, was watching her.

"So that's the new rookie, eh?" Kyoko said as she ate a snack she brought earlier.

"So you really plan to fight her?" Kyubey asked. "She is friends with Mami."

"Hmph! Is that supposed to scare me?" Kyoko said as the magic left the binoculars and returned to her Soul Gem which was colored red. "Please, I'm not the same girl I was back then. I can kill a newbie like her in an instant even if she does have help from Mami. Or do you have a problem with that?"

"Not really. But it won't be easy as you think." Kyubey said. "There's another Magical Girl in this city, after all."

"Oh? What kind of girl is she?" Kyoko asked, curious.

"No idea." Kyubey said bluntly.

"Huh?" Kyoko said. "What do you mean you have no idea? She became a Magical Girl after forming a Contract with you, didn't she?"

"Well she did and she didn't."

"I don't get it."

"I'm saying she's an extreme irregularity." Kyubey said. "Even I can't predict what moves she'll make. Plus, she's got an ally. Someone called a Kamen Rider."

"Kamen Rider? The hell's that?" Kyoko asked, having never heard of a Kamen Rider.

"I really don't know." Kyubey said. "All I know is that these Riders use these strange decks to don armor and are Contracted with some sort of Monster that lives in a parallel world called the Mirror World. So far, there are five Riders in this city and four of them are friends with Mami and Sayaka."

"Kamen Riders…Heh, interesting." Kyoko smirked, finishing her snack as she gazed out into the city. "Looks like my days of boredom are finally over."


(Mall)

"I thought I find you here." Mami said, smiling as she looked down at Takeru, sitting on a small chair with a small table in front of him with a piece of cloth over it and a paper sign reading: Fortune Told for just $1.

"Hello, Mami. Here to have your fortune finally told?" Takeru asked as he placed the money he had gotten today which was just five bucks.

"Not really. Just here to see how you're doing is all and do a little shopping for myself." Mami said.

"What? Are you worried that Evildiver will come and eat me?" Takeru asked.

"Evildiver?"

"That's the name of my Contract Monster." Takeru said until he spotted a familiar face not too far away. "Isn't that Madoka?"

"It is." Mami said, noticing the girl before waving at her. "Kaname!"

"Hm?" Hearing her name, Madoka turned and saw Mami waving at her. She smiled and made her way to her, waving back. "Ah! Mami!"

"Out doing a little shopping of your own?" Mami asked.

"Something like that." Madoka said before noticing Takeru. "Still doing this, are you? How much did you get today?"

"Five dollars." Takeru said.

"Still bad, huh?" Madoka said.

"Hey. Five is still better than one." Takeru said.

"So, I heard you got a new transfer student today." Madoka said, having heard some talk from other students during lunch.

"Yes. His name is Shou Kagamine." Mami said when she saw a familiar face amongst the people of the mall. "In fact, there he is right now."

"Eh?" Both Takeru and Madoka turned and indeed there he was, at the food court, eating and minding his own business.

"That's him?" Madoka asked.

"Yes. That's him alright." Takeru said before getting up.

"What are you doing?" Mami asked as Takeru folded up the small table and chair and folded the cloth.

"Well, I'm going to go talk to him." Takeru said. "He's been studying abroad so I thought he might be lonely. My aunt always told me to help those who have no friends." With that, Takeru made his way to Shou with the girls having no choice, but to follow.

"Hello there!" Takeru called out.

"Hm?" Turning while sipping his drink, Shou turned to see Takeru. He blinked a few times before removing his mouth from the straw and said, "Aren't you in my class?"

"Yes. I'm Takeru Uranaishi. It's nice to meet you." Takeru said, offering a hand for a handshake.

"It's nice to meet you too." Shou said, accepting the hand and shook it before noticing the girls. "And these are?"

"Mami Tomoe, I'm in the same class you're in as well." Mami said before gesturing to Madoka. "This here is Madoka Kaname, my kohai."

"It's nice to meet you." Madoka bowed a little. "I heard you were studying abroad?"

"It's nice to meet you too." Shou said. "And yes, I've been studying abroad until my guardians decided to enroll me here."

"Why did they enroll you at our middle school, if I may ask?" Takeru asked.

"Well, I guess I was tired of traveling the world." Shou said. "I mean, it's a great experience, and I learned a lot of music, but I guess I got a bit lonely from not making any lasting friends during my travels."

"You like music?" Madoka asked, picking up the topic.

"Oh yes, I do." Shou said as before he knew it, he had started a conversation. "I've traveled the world to mostly to learn different kinds of music and their culture so I know quite a lot of music. Though the kind I know the most are traditional Japanese music, samba music, and acoustic music."

"Well, that's quite the diversity." Mami said, impressed.

Suddenly, the sound of a phone ringing coming from Shou's pocket stopped the conversation as Shou took out his phone and winced when he saw the time.

"Is it that time already?" Shou said before he put his phone back in his pocket and picked up his trash. "I'm sorry, but I have to go. It was nice talking to you."

"Indeed it was." Takeru said before Shou took his leave.

"He seems nice." Madoka commented.

"I agree." Mami said before turning to Madoka. "Kaname, you wouldn't happen to know where Sayaka is right now, do you?"

"Not really. The hospital doesn't accept visitors at this hour." Madoka said as outside, the sun was close to disappearing over the horizon. "She's probably at home right now."

"I see. Then you wouldn't mind taking me over to her place? She's still new to being a Magical Girl so there's much she needs to still learn." Mami said.

"Okay." Madoka nodded before turning to Takeru. "Then I guess we'll see you at school tomorrow?"

"Yeah." Takeru said before the girls left. Once gone, he took out a quarter and flipped, it, doing a fortune telling on Shou. He always does this whenever he meets new people. He even did to Mami when they first met, but she doesn't know.

"I have got to stop this habit of mine." Takeru said as he caught the coin and frowned when the coin in his hand landed on tails. "Oh that can't be good."


(Later, with Haru)

"I can't believe that guy, forgetting to refill our water supplies." Haru said, a bit annoyed as he carried in his bag a couple of empty water gallons Alex had gotten to take with him to the store to refill. He had gotten a call from him earlier and was now on his way to the store at night.

"He is so gonna owe me for this one." Haru said when it happened.

*RIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIINNNNNNNNNNNNNNG!*

"Guess I'll have to hold on refilling our supplies." Haru said before he ran off towards the noise. The ringing noise got louder and louder the closer he got and when he turned ran into an alleyway, he heard a scream and ran, turning a corner to see a Mirror Monster with the characteristics of a crab. He quickly threw away his bag and leaped toewards the woman, just grabbing her in time to save her from the Monster's grip as it cried in anger before returning to the Mirror World.

"Oi! Daijōbu ka(Are you alright)!?" Haru asked, shaking the woman who had fallen unconscious from the surprise. Checking her pulse, Haru decided that the woman was alright before getting up and facing the window,

He brought out his deck, presented it to the reflection, and the V-Buckle soon materialized.

"Henshin!" Dai shouted before slotting in the Advent Deck into the buckle. His armor soon materialized and was ready to jump into the Mirror World. "Yosha!" He jumped through the window and found himself next to a Ride Shooter. Wasting no time getting in, Haru was off to chase that Mirror Monster.


(Meanwhile, with the girls)

"Are you ready?" Mami asked her new fellow Magical Girl.

Sayaka slapped her cheeks before saying, "Yeah. Let's go!"

"Remember, a single mistake can mean death. Just stay close to me and you'll have nothing to worry about." Mami said.

Sayaka nodded. "Okay, I'm counting on you, Mami! With the both of us working together, there's no Witch that can stand up to us!"

Mami smiled before turning to Madoka. "Are you sure you want to come with us? You can go home if you want."

"No, I'm going." Madoka said. "I know I'll probably be nothing, but a burden, but I want to be there and cheer for you."

"That's the spirit!" Sayaka said, placing an arm around her friend. "With you cheering me on, there's no one I can't beat! And I'll also make sure to protect you from any bad Witches!"

"This isn't a game, Miki. Remember that." Mami said before they left the apartment building. "Now come on, let's go."

"Right!" Sayaka said before she and Mami brought out their Soul Gems and began to walk around.

"It's too bad Haru and the others couldn't come and help us tonight." Madoka said. "Now that they're all Riders, I was hoping they could help you two out."

"We'll be fine. Even before they became Riders, Mami alone was enough to take down any Witches and their Familiars." Sayaka said while forcing herself not to think about Renji. "But now that I'm here, there's nothing to worry about."

"Don't get too overconfident, Miki. You never know what can happen." Mami said. "But I get it. You're just trying to mask your nervousness with your excitement, aren't you?"

"Hehe, I can't hide anything from you." Sayaka said, scratching her head.

"It's nothing to be ashamed of. I was nervous too when I started out." Mami said. "It's only natural, really, since you're about to fight what are basically monsters head on instead of just watching this time. Just stay calm and everything will be alright."

"Coming from you, Mami, that's reassuring." Sayaka said before her Soul Gem glowed. "I got something!"

"Me too." Mami said, her Soul Gem glowing as well. "This way."

The three walked around, following the glow of the Soul Gems until they made it to an alleyway. They all took one step forward and instantly the space around them changed instantly. The walls turned into what appeared to be notebook paper as star shaped drawings, crayons, and animal stickers made up the entire barrier.

"This barrier is highly unstable." Kyubey noted.

"Then it must be a Familiar then, not a Witch." Mami said.

"Doesn't mean we'll let it get away. The easier, the better." Sayaka said.

"Don't let your guard down just because it's a Familiar." Mami said as they became walking forward.

"I know, I know." Sayaka said as they walked for a while until soon after, balls started to bounce around and the sound of laughter was heard.

"There it is!" Madoka shouted, pointing to what appeared to be a scribbled girl attached to an airplane. This is Anja, the scribbling witch's minion whose duty is to be naïve. "It's getting away!"

"Not if I have anything to say about it!" Sayaka said as she acted first. Her Soul Gem glowed before she was garbed in her Magical Girl outfit with Mami quickly following. Using their powers respectively, Mami summoned her muskets while Sayaka summoned forth more sounds around her. She grabbed them and chucked them at the familiar while Mami supported by shooting her muskets, but to their surprise, their attacks were blocked and the Familiar escaped.

"Our attacks were blocked!?" Sayaka said in surprise. "But who-!"

"Oi, oi, oi." A voice said as a figure came from the shadows. "What do you think you're doing?" Appearing from the shadows was none other than Kyoko, eating some taiyaki and was garbed in her Magical Girl outfit which consisted of a dark red dress with an opening for her soul gem and a mandarin collar. The borders of the dress are covered with thick white ruffles that cover the opening of her dress and go down to the back of it. She wears white arm sleeves that go halfway up her bicep, with black buttoned cuffs around her wrists. Underneath, she wears a pleated pink skirt and a black corset with white detailing. She wears tall red boots with white cuffs and white symbols, and black thigh-high tights. In her hands was a gold, silver and red spear.

"Another Magical Girl!?" Madoka said in surprise.

Mami's eyes widen in surprise before they narrowed. "What are you doing here, Sakura?"

Kyoko simply smirks and says, "Been a while, Senpai."


(Meanwhile, Back with Haru)

"Stop right there!" Haru shouted as he jumped and jumped off the Mirror Monster before landing right in front of it and turned to face it for the first time.

The Mirror Monster in front of him was some sort of orange, humanoid crab. Most of its body was similar to that of a man, but its arms were grab claws and the top half of its upper body resembled a crab as the whole Mirror Monster's armor was bright orange.

"This is a new one." Haru said, but then again, he was still new to the Rider business. Quickly, he pushed down his Drag Visor, drew a card, and inserted it.

SWORD VENT

The Drag Saber immediately found its way to Haru's hand before he and the Mirror Monster charged towards one another. The Mirror Monster attack first, attempting to grab Haru with its huge crab claws, but Haru jumped, dodging the claw and kicking the Mirror Monster right in the face, sending it stumbling back before Haru landed back down to his feet and slashed the Mirror Monster across the chest a few times before kicking it away as it fell to the ground and rolled a bit before stopping face flat down. Not allowing the Mirror Monster a chance to recover, Haru went to attack its exposed back, but to his surprise, his sword just caused sparks and didn't seem to hurt the Mirror Monster who soon got back up and backhanded Haru, sending the red Rider stumble back a bit before the Mirror Monster grabbed Haru by its claws and threw him over its shoulder where he landed on his back.

"Okay, its back is protected by a really thick shell, good to know." Haru said as he got back up when the sound of a vehicle drew his attention and he turned to see another Ride Shooter. It stopped right in front of him and the top opened to reveal a brand new Rider.

The new Rider had a black bodysuit with silver boots and armbands, both which are accompanied by silver sockets. On his left arm was what appeared to a pair of shears? Orange shoulder armor resembled shells covered his shoulder while his torso armor was orange with two small, silver triangular parts with two, pincer like extensions over his shoulder, one on each side. Around his waist was a V-Buckle with his Advent Deck being black with a golden crab logo. Finally, his helmet was orange with a silver visor as the helmet was designed to resemble a grab with two little antennae resembling crab eyes on top of the helmet.

"Another…Rider?" Haru said in surprise before he got back up to his feet. If he was a Rider, that means he could help. "Great timing, we can take this bastard on toge-!"

*POW!*

"Gah!" Haru was thrown back and interrupted when the new Rider punched him across the face, or helmet in this case. He shook his head before getting back up and pointed to the crab themed Rider angrily. "Hey! What was that for!?"

The Rider didn't answer as he raised his shear and attacked Haru. Quickly, he deflected the attacked and dodged a punch aimed for his head before kicking the Rider back. The crab Rider held his stomach before he growled in anger and attacked Haru again. Haru ducked under a swing of the Rider's shears, but wasn't expecting the kick to his side, making him stumble back but he recovered quickly and blocked a punch before pushing the arm away and blocked the Rider's shears from stabbing him with his sword, entering a deadlock.

"Hey, what's the deal!? I don't want to fight!" Haru said as he struggled to push the shears away from him.

"Too bad cause I do." The Rider said as he used both hands to push his shear.

"Well, at least I know you can talk." Haru said before he raised his foot and kicked the Rider in the chest, forcing the Rider back, but Haru cried out in pain when something struck his back and he turned to see the Mirror Monster. "Shit, forgot about you."

Haru blocks a claw swinging at him and jumps back to avoid the second one, but he was struck across the back by the Rider behind him and quickly turned to block a kick before slashing the Rider across the chest before quickly turning back and blocking the claw of the Mirror Monster before kicking it away. Haru slashed it a few times before turning back to the rider to slash him, but his sword was blocked and Haru was wide open for a kick to the chest before the crab Rider took away his sword and threw it away before the Rider punch Haru across the face, grabbed him, and threw him to the Mirror Monster. Haru grabbed a hold of the Mirror Monster's shoulder, making sure that it did not bite him before he back kicked the crab Rider that was attempted to attacking him from the back before he used whatever strength he had to drag the Mirror Monster around and kick him away from him while pushing off of it to back flip away and gain some distance. Catching his breath, Haru faced both the Rider and the Mirror Monster and noticed the similarities between the two.

"Wait a minute, you two are together?" Haru said, confused and surprised that the Mirror Monster he had been fighting was actually the crab Rider's Contract Monster.

"Geez, what gave that away, Sherlock Holmes?" The Rider said sarcastically.

"Okay, you're a dick." Haru declared.

"I know. And you're dead." The crab Rider said before he raised his shears and attacked, but was surprised by a sudden kick from a familiar black dragon Rider whose kick sent the crab Rider back before the black Rider spun around and back kicked the Rider's Contract Monster away.

"Ryuga!" Haru said in surprise.

"Get your head in the game, kid. Stop wasting time." Ryuga said as he turned to face the Rider.

"What the hell? Twin Riders?" The crab Rider said in surprise as his Contract Monster stood beside him, waiting for his command.

"I suggest you and your Volcancer leave if you two don't want lives to end here and now." Ryuga threatened.

"I'm surprised you know the name of my partner here. But what makes you think I'll just do as you ask?" The Rider said.

"Because unlike the red idiot next to me, I don't hold back." Ryuga said.

"Whoa, whoa, whoa! Hold it!" Haru, ignoring that comment from Ryuga, spoke up. "Are you gonna fight him!?"

"Isn't that obvious?" Ryuga said as if the topic should have been as plain as day.

"But he's a Rider!" Haru pointed out.

"You're right. Ryuki, meet Kamen Rider Scissors." Ryuga said, pointing a thumb over to the now identified Scissors.

"Scissors?" Haru said in confusion while thinking that the name was kind of…lame.

"You're thinking my name's lame, aren't you?" Scissors said.

"I wasn't thinking that!" Haru quickly denied before turning back to Ryuga. "But you didn't answer my question!"

"Didn't Zero not come and explain it to you?" Ryuga asked.

"Explain? Explain what!?"

Haru's answer made Ryuga sigh and shook his head. "That Zero…" Ryuga looked back to Scissors and said, "I'll say it again, leave or die here."

"And like I said," Scissors said as he drew a card, prompting Ryuga to draw a card as well as they both placed their cards into their respective Visors. "What makes you think I'll listen you?"

STRIKE VENT

Scissors extended out his right hand and came forth a gauntlet that resembled his Contract Monster, Volcancer's claw, but before it could attach itself to his hand…

CONFINE VENT

It disappeared, fading away as if it were never there.

"What!?" Scissors said in surprise as he looked at the perpetrator, Ryuga, in surprise.

"Like I said before, I'm not like the idiot next to me. I don't hold back." Ryuga said before he charged towards the crab themed Rider.

Both Scissors and his Contract Monster moved out the way of a kick before Volcancer went into the hit the black dragon Rider with its claws, but it never made it as Ryuga kicked it away before he blocked a punch from Scissors and forced his arm down into an uncomfortable position before he punched the Rider in the gut so hard that he bent over in pain which gave Ryuga the chance to hit his face/helmet with another punch, forcing Scissors back up before Ryuga dragged the crab Rider around and kicked him towards his Contract Monster who caught his Contractor. The crab Rider growled in anger before he charged towards Ryuga in anger, stabbing forth with his Scissors Visor, but to his surprise, Ryuga grabbed his arm before the shears could hit his helmet and he then lost pain coursing through his everybody when Ryuga kicked him in the place where the sun don't shine before being pushed back to his Contract Monster where he could do nothing, but watch as Ryuga spun and spin kicked him and his Volcancer back.

Scissors withered in pain on the ground, holding the place between his legs as he gasped out, "You…dick! Who kicks…a man in…the dick!?"

"I do." Ryuga said bluntly before pointing his thumb to Haru. "He would too if he got the chance."

"N-No I wouldn't!" Haru denied despite the fact that the fact he would kick a man where the sun don't shine was in fact true.

"Now, let me say it again. Leave or die. I won't say it a fourth time." Ryuga said.

"Grr, you'll pay for this!" Scissors growled before he got to his feet and stumbled away with his Contract Monster following close behind.

"Hey! Wait!" Haru said, but the crab themed Rider was gone. With only him and Ryuga left, he turned to the black Rider and said, "What is going on!? Why did he want to fight me!? Why did you fight him!? Tell me, now!"

"You're bound to find out sooner or later so." Ryuga said before he walked away.

"Where do you think you're going!?" Haru said.

"To go and pick up Homura. She should be with the girls right now." Ryuga said.

"Wait, why the girls?" Haru said, but Ryuga disappeared through the window. "Ugh, that guy really pisses me off." With no other choice, he followed after Ryuga back to the real world.


(Back with the girls)

"Sakura? Sempai?" Sayaka said in confusion as she looked between Mami and Kyoko. "Wait, you two know each other!?"

"You can say that." Kyoko said, resting her spear on her shoulder as she ate her taiyaki.

"Is she a friend?" Madoka asked.

"She was a friend." Mami said, emphasizing the 'was' part before the Familiar's barrier disappeared.

"The Familiar's getting away!" Madoka said.

"Shit!" Sayaka cursed as she went to after it when she stopped dead cold. The reason being Kyoo's spear was at her neck, the pole arm having extended from its regular length.

"Not so fast, kiddo." Kyoko said. "That's not a Witch, it's a familiar or could you not tell?"

"She knows perfectly well, Sakura." Mami said as she pointed one of her muskets at the red head. "Now put that thing away from her. Or else."

"Hoh? Is that a threat I hear from you?" Kyoko said when a bullet whizzed past her, leaving her with a tiny cut on her cheek.

"It is." Mami said, her musket barrel smoking before she threw it away and summoned two more. "Now I won't ask again. Get that thing away from her."

"And if I don't you'll shoot me?" Kyoko said before she finished her taiyaki, taking a moment to chew and swallow before saying, "Don't make me laugh. You don't have the guts to do that or did you forget our last fight?"

Mami resisted the urge to girt her teeth. There was no way she could ever forget, the day they broke up, the day her kouhai, Kyoko, changed right before her eyes.

"You can't do it, can you?" Kyoko said. "Hmph! Pathetic. You haven't changed one bit since I left you."

"Left you?" Madoka repeated in confusion before turning to Mami. "Mami, what does he mean?"

"That doesn't matter right now. What matters is going after that Familiar before it gets too far." Mami said.

"Heh, good luck trying that." Kyoko said. "Try anything and I'll send this girl to the hos-!"

*CRACK-SPLAT!*

Everyone stood there in surprise at what had just happened. Slowly, Kyoko raised her free hand to the back of her head and felt something gooey. Grabbing whatever was on her hair, she brought it to her eyes and saw in her hands were the shells, whites, and yolk of an egg.

"…Who…the heck just threw an egg at me!?" Kyoko said angrily.

"That would be me." Everyone quickly turned to the other side of the alleyway and saw none other than Alex with a bag of groceries in his hand.

"Who the heck are you?" Kyoko asked in a demanding tone.

"Alex!" Madoka said. She didn't expect to see him tonight.

"Alex?" Kyoko repeated in confusion before looking right at his face. There was no sign of fear or surprise, just calmness. She glanced towards Mami and asked, "He's not surprised by all of this. He a friend of yours?"

"That is correct." Mami said.

"Hey, you." Alex said, pointing to Kyoko before extending out his hand as if asking for money. "Pay up."

"Excuse me?" Kyoko said.

"You made me waste an egg. Now pay up." Alex demanded.

"I'm sorry, but aren't you the one who wasted that egg?" Kyoko said. If there was anything more she hated more than idiots, it's idiots who waste food. "Why should I pay you?"

"Because you were the one who made me waste that egg." Alex said. "Now pay up."

"Heh, you got a lot of nerve demanding things from someone like me." Kyoko said, resting her spear on her shoulder.

"And you're an idiot for taking your eyes off the girls." Alex said.

Kyoko's eyes widen before she turned and saw the girls running down the path the Familiar had escaped to.

"Thanks Alex! We you owe you one!" Sayaka shouted over before she and the others ran to find and kill that Familiar.

"Ah! Son of a-!" Kyoko held herself back from cursing right then and there and turned her attention to Alex, glaring the hardest glare she's ever done. "You're gonna pay for that. I don't know why Mami's allowing you to know about Magical Girls, but don't think I'll go easy on you just because I have magical powers and you don't."

"And what makes you think this will be easy?" Alex said before he set down his bag, turned his attention to a small mirror on the floor next to some trash, took out his Advent Deck, and presented it to the mirror.

"The heck is that?" Kyoko said before she saw the V-Buckle materialize around Alex's waist. "A belt?"

"Henshin!" Alex shouted, swing his right arm out before inserting his Deck into the slot of the V-Buckle. His armor soon materialized in mere seconds.

"What in the world!?" Kyoko said in surprise.

"Hey! I never got your name." Alex asked.

"…Kyoko Sakura." Kyoko said, preparing her spear and getting into a stance. "What's yours?"

"Alexander Seikatsu, Alex for short." Alex said. "But like this, I'm called Kamen Rider Zolda."

"Kamen Rider?" Kyoko said, remembering back to what Kyubey had told her the night before. "So you're one of these Kamen Riders I've heard from Kyubey. Gotta say, not impressed."

"I wouldn't underestimate me if I were you." Alex said as he grabbed his Magna Visor and held it up at the ready. "I'm more than meets the eye."

"Well, I can the same thing. I'm more than just a pretty face!" Kyoko shouted that last part before she leaped towards Alex, thrusting her spear forward at the green Kamen Rider while Alex aimed his Visor at the red headed Magical Girl and pulled the trigger.

*BANG!*


And done! That's right, cliffhanger! How did you like it? I tried my best to be original as possible. And just like that, the first OC that is not mine to appear in the story as well as the first enemy Rider! You all know who these guys are already, but Haru and the others don't which will make for some big dramatic irony. Authors whose OC's I used today, did I do well with your characters? Is there anything wrong that you didn't like, besides Scissors getting, you know, beat up? Please let me know. Anyway, I hope today's chapter was satisfactory for everyone. And if it was, there's more where that came from, provided I don't fuck anything up. Until then, this has been Ashbel Longhart here, signing out. Till the next ride.
