Ju woke up in the bed that she now shared with Nico. The two had become near inseparable since the five days of lust. Even if it had ended with her losing the life that she had. Ju sighed as she sat up. Nico was doing her "night job" as she jokingly called it. Ju would have been there with her and had been trying to convince her to let her do that with her instead of being just a go-for for the docs and watching Parado. But Nico won't allow it.

She shifted her legs off the bed missing her right now. "Missed my chance to cuddle?" Nico asked with a smile coming out of their bathroom wearing a towel.

"When did you get back?" Ju asked walking over to her and giving her a kiss.

"A couple hours ago," Nico said trying to lead Ju back to the bed. And Ju let her with a smile on her face. She kissed her as she pulled her into the bed. Ju pulled the towel off her body so she was naked now.

"Why didn't you come to bed when you got out of the shower?" Ju asked kissing her.

"Please don't bring that up?" Nico sighed.

"Bad night?" Ju asked stopping for a second to let her vent. Nico knew she was trying to get her to talk about it so she didn't bottle it all up anymore. She kissed her one more time before she let it all out.

"The worst. Every client was a one-pump chump so no sexual gratification in any way whatsoever. I normally enjoy those nights the best. Get in there and get out. Money to keep this place open and I can keep working longer and get back to work faster before I can't stand it anymore. And I don't have to stay too long with them...but thanks to that I was standing out there when the worst guy in this miserable world showed up. He made my skin crawl when he started licking his lips while looking at me." Ju held her close.

"You should let me join you out there," Ju said looking at her.

"No."

"But I love you and want to be there for you," Ju said looking at her.

Nico looked at her like she had three heads. "What did you just say?" Nico asked tears forming in her eyes.

"I love you..." Ju realized that was the first time she had said that out loud. She realized as she worked that she wanted THIS Nico to start her desire to stop the Tojitendo because she had fallen in love with her. The way she had found a way to keep fighting after everything that she had lived through, everything that she had lost. She had fallen in love with her and wanted her to be the one that helped her overthrow these bastards.

Nico started crying and got out from under Ju and ran into the bathroom. "Baby..." Ju said going over to the door.

"GO AWAY!" Nico sobbed.

"Baby..."

Ju didn't want to but she left Nico alone crying and tried to do her usual job. "What's going on with you?" Parado asked after Ju gave the third doctor the wrong thing and he had to get it himself.

"I-I told Nico I loved her this morning..." Ju said sighing.

"She didn't take it well did she?" Parado said with a frown.

"She cried. She broke down in tears and cried..." Ju said starting to cry herself. Parado went over to her and hugged her. For a few minutes while neither was needed he just let her ball until she could talk again.

"It's not you Ju," he said hugging her. "Nico keeps up a brave face but she is the one that was hurt probably more than me in some ways." He stared off into the distance thinking about Emu. There wasn't a day that went by that he didn't miss his other half. And seeing him die made him afraid most of the time. They broke the hug and he stared into her eyes.

"She was in love with Taiga. And she never told him how she felt. I saw this coming with you two. You two were so annoying in all of this. Always bringing laughter into this cesspool of a hell world. So I knew that you were in love and this might be the outcome if you said it," he said looking at her.

"But why did me saying it make her cry?" Ju asked.

"She had to face the death of her first love again. And this time in a new light. If she admits that she loves you, she might not feel like she could love him without hurting you. If she doesn't admit it and she loses you the same way she did him, history has repeated itself and she lost the second love of her life to this shit world," he said to her.

"I would never take Taiga away from her. I've seen their love too many times to think that I could make her forget him," she said without thinking.

"What do you mean?" he asked.

"Nothing. Sorry I have to be going. I'm sure that another doctor needs me to mess up on them...C-could you check on Nico for me?" she asked looking at him.

"Sure," he said as she walked away. She was kicking herself for bringing up her past watching other universes.

"Nico?" Parado asked knocking on the door. She didn't answer and he let himself into her room.

"What are you doing here?" she asked. She looked like she was a mess. Eyes puffy and bloodshot.

"Ju told me that she told you that she loved you. And that you started crying...so she wanted me to check on you," he said.

"W-why?" she asked tears reforming in her eyes. Parado didn't say anything. "Why did she have to say it?" she sobbed.

"Because it's true. She loves you, Nico," he said going to sit by her.

"But she didn't have to say it," Nico said.

"I think she did," he said.

"WHY?!" she yelled.

"Because: YOU LOVE HER TOO," he said to her. She started crying.

"But I loved Taiga...I mean...I LOVE Taiga," she said crying.

"And you ALWAYS will," he said hugging her. "But you fell hard for Ju. And she for you. So here is what you are going to do," he said going over to the windows with closed curtains. He opened them and looked back at her. "You are going to clean yourself up. You are going to get dressed. And you are going to talk to your girl so she can stop aggravating the docs here," he said with a smile.

"What do you mean?" she asked.

"ALL FUCKING DAY SHE HAS BEEN SCREWING UP!" he said looking at her with a smile. "So let's get you to do your other job and keep this place running before she causes us to go under."

She smiled at him as she stood up and went over to the window to get some clothes. That was when she saw it. A portal opened in the courtyard. "Parado..." she said looking at it.

"I see it. That's a Tojitendo portal," he said looking at it.

"There's no reason for them to show up here," she said her chest tightening seeing another portal like the one that had taken everything from her. And wanting Ju to be by her side now more than ever. Then they spotted not robotic troops bursting forth ready to kill all before them but six humans walking out of it. Five women and one male.

"What the hell is going on?" Parado asked as the portal closed behind them.

"I don't know. But you are right about one thing. It's time for me to do my other job," she said quickly finding clothes and getting dressed.

"WHAT ARE YOU DOING?" he demanded.

"I can't explain this feeling but I...I have a shot of hope right now. Do me one thing, find Ju?" she asked stopping at the door.

"Of course," he said and she rushed out of the room to go down into the courtyard to find out what was happening.

"Where are we?" Kanon asked looking up at the sky and seeing signs of the Tojitendo already there.

"No idea. But it looks like there are already Tojitendo bastards here," Asuna said seeing the ships.

"But they are using this world for something other than mining it clean," Woz said eyeing the ships.

"What do you mean? Oooo pretty flowers!" Chibi yelled, going over to a flower bed and ignoring her own question causing Urara and Fuuka to smile.

"That is exactly what I was talking about," Woz said with a sigh, looking at her smelling the flowers. "They would never let such things as flowers exist in a strip mine."

"You're right we aren't a strip mine," they heard and turned to face Nico coming to talk to them.

"Who are you?" Urara asked as she and Fuuka raised their weapons. But before they could do anything Woz stepped in front of them.

"Saiba Nico," he said seeing her.

"How do you know my name?" she asked.

"I read it in a book...I hope to be done with," he said.

"Huh?" she asked.

"It's a thing. What do you know about her?" Fuuka asked him not lowering her weapon in a world where they could be attacked at any moment.

"She was the sidekick of Kamen Rider Snipe. Kamen Rider Snipe was an extra Rider for Kamen Rider Ex-Aid. I can only imagine that this was an Ex-Aid world at some point," he said. Not telling them the other bit of truth. The truth that he wasn't ready to believe in yet. A Nico was part of the group photo of the Hakaiger. And what spurned him into joining them on this journey.

"How do you know all of this?" Nico asked looking at him as Fuuka barely lowered her weapon.

"Like he said before he read about you in a book. He was an extra Rider for Kamen Rider Zi-O. Did any of your friends live?" Asuna asked her.

"Most of them didn't," Ju said through clenched teeth as she and Parado approached the collection of people. Woz eyed her realizing that she too was in that picture...but not Parado. She knew who they were right away. They were the Hakaiger. The ones that watched over the multiverse were waiting for.

"Do you know us?" Asuna asked looking at her.

"No. Why would you ask that?" Nico asked.

"Because there was something in her past she is keeping from us," Parado said looking at the collection.

"WHY WOULD YOU SAY THAT?" Nico demanded.

"Because it's true," Asuna said looking at Ju.

"Just shut up bitch!" Ju said and went up to slap Asuna but Kanon stopped her hand before she made contact. This surprised Nico a little.

"Kanon," Asuna said looking into her eyes as she let her hand go. "What did we do to you?" she asked.

"NOTHING! AND THAT'S THE GODDAMN PROBLEM!" Ju roared.

"Ju?" Nico asked looking at her.

"I'm sorry...I didn't...I have a past," Ju said she didn't want to tell Nico this. Not after this morning. But the Hakaiger HAD to show up. "Oh God," she said looking into the sky. "Please don't hate me, Nico? I used to watch over this multiverse..."

"EH?!" Was everyone's response to this bit of news.

"What do you mean you watched over this multiverse?" Fuuka asked.

Ju sighed. "There is a group of people with powers. AkaRed and his team for Super Sentai, the Morphin Masters for Power Rangers, Henshin Master with a few others for Kamen Rider, and the Ultraman royal family for Ultraman. We watch them to see if these worlds need us to intervene. I WAS Henshin Mistress; the embodiment of all female Riders," Ju said looking at everyone. "And THEY want to wait because of you."

"Why?" Urara asked.

"Because when there is a threat a Rider, a Sentai, a Ranger team, or an Ultraman will show up and face it. YOU showed up shortly after Plex Shujin. So they want to see what you can do before they step in. BUT I DIDN'T WANT TO WAIT!" Ju kicked the ground.

"You came here for a reason...What was it?" Nico asked.

"I wanted to turn you into a Rider baby," Ju said tearing up.

"Why?" she asked.

"Because...I...I love you. I fell in love with you seeing the way you kept fighting and doing what you do. I have seen other versions of you with Taiga and your love...you are the strongest person I have ever seen...so I thought that you could crush these bastards with ease. But I was caught changing you to be compatible with the Rider Gashats...they took my powers and left me here with you. I'm so sorry I-" Nico kissed her mid-sentence.

"I love you too," Nico said breathing in her girlfriend's scent having only barely broken the kiss. But then pushed Ju back and slapped her. "AND THAT IS FOR LYING TO ME!" Nico yelled at her and stormed off.

Asuna chose not to leave this world just yet. So the Hakaiger took turns watching to see if the Tojitendo came after them. Asuna would spend most of the time watching Ju and Nico. Ju was trying to make it up to her and Nico trying to ignore her. Like right now Nico was trying to pay the doctors the way she normally would with Ju hovering around waiting for her to finish up. Asuna was just leaning against the wall looking at Ju, who was sitting nervously by the door.

"How long are you going to keep us here?" Woz asked as he looked out the window to the courtyard as he watched a pregnant woman hobbling her way into the hospital.

"How long are we going to pretend that you didn't see something in that book that made you follow us?" she asked. Looking at Parado as he eyed her as he helped the woman into the special area for births. You could see the pain in her face while in labor.

"Touché," he said looking at her with a slight smirk. He had to admit that he liked how perceptive Asuna was. And how she wasn't going to push the subject if she didn't have to. "What are you looking to find out more about? These multiversal overseers?" Woz asked.

"I couldn't care less about those bastards," she said as Ju walked by shooting dirty looks at her trying to get Nico to notice her as she walked past in a silk robe. "They want to see what we can do then I am going to make sure we put on a fucking show. But there is something I want."

"A new girlfriend perhaps?" Woz asked, smirking, and turned back to look out the window again.

"Truth?" she asked with a chuckle.

"Lie to me for a change," he said.

"Nope."

"Liar," he said smirking out the window.

"Shows a girl for giving a guy what he wanted," she said pushing off the wall to follow the two women.

"But which one do you want as your new toy?" Woz asked causing her to stop. "The puppy or the master?" he asked with a smile.

"Does it matter?" Asuna asked with a smile as she followed.

"Only to the puppy or the master," he said with a chuckle as he watched as people walked by outside. Keeping an eye out for trouble.

"WOULD YOU STOP FOLLOWING US!" Nico yelled.

"Why?" Asuna asked smirking.

"Because it's getting annoying," Ju said to her.

"But where else am I going to get good baka drama from?" Asuna asked with a smile.

"WHAT?!" both girls demanded.

"Well...you both love each other. But you are both playing stupid games," Asuna said with a confused face.

"'Stupid games'?" Ju demanded.

"Yes. You, Ju, wanted to do something to help fight something devastating and like a baka girl, you didn't have much of a plan and just came here and tried to give the girl you fell in love with powers without a second thought. Then lost everything but found the one thing that matters more than all the powers in the entire multiverse: LOVE. Now you realize what you have done and are following her around like a puppy thinking that would make her forgive you," Asuna said putting a finger to her chin like she was thinking about something. Nico smirked as Asuna talked.

"And you, Nico, aren't much better. You fell in love again after God knows how long. Going by talks with Parado you realized how important telling her that you loved her was when you saw the portal we opened. And you even kissed her after you found out the truth. Then you started making her follow you around to punish her for something that you have clearly forgiven her for," she said tilting her head.

Nico and Ju looked at each other. "It's not that easy?" Nico said.

"Really? Why not?" Asuna asked looking at them. She knew what was really going on. But it was getting a bit silly for them to not talk to each other like this.

"She lied to me!" Nico yelled.

"So you didn't enjoy the time you had together at all?" Asuna asked.

"...Well, yes I did. But what has that got to do with anything?" Nico asked Ju looked at her girlfriend.

"Well...if she told you that she was going to be turning you into a warrior right off the bat you would turn her down, right?" Asuna asked. Ju looked at her wanting to hear the answer.

"...I-I don't know," Nico said thinking about it. "I mean if she came out and asked...I might have turned her down among other things."

"But now if she would offer the same offer?" Asuna asked. She smirked knowing the answer.

"I'd take it..." Nico said looking at Ju.

"Why?" Ju asked. "You lost the love of your life to this...I thought you would hate me even more if you would find out." Tears formed in the corner of her eyes.

"I have something...I want to protect," Nico said kissing her girlfriend tears in her own eyes.

"And," Asuna said with a smile after they broke the kiss after a few seconds. "That is why you lost your powers." Asuna smiled looking at them. Ju turned to face her. "Fighting something like these bastards...you don't just want revenge for the deaths of those that have died. That's not why I fight this hard. I want to make sure no other Asuna, Kanon, Chibi, Urara, Fuuka, Woz, Nico, and Parado have to feel OUR pain. I fight to protect them...and make sure the deaths of those that matter to me weren't for nothing. Having something to truly protect gives us more desire to win...especially when we have lost so much already." Asuna said walking away.

"Where are you going?" Nico asked.

"I know the look in the eyes of you two love birds. So I'll leave you to it," Asuna said with a smile as the two of them started to kiss again.

"Why did you help them like that?" Asuna heard. She turned to find Urara standing there.

"You following me?" Asuna asked with a smile as she walked past her. Urara started to walk with her.

"You have been following them around. There is a running bet that you wanted to have them join your girlfriends," Urara said with a smile.

"Been talking to Woz have you?" Asuna asked with a smile.

"And Kanon. I teased her about adding more girls to your relationship," Urara said looking at her. Part of her was really interested in this conversation.

"She doesn't want more girls. Neither does Chibi. Once we had some time to ourselves in Fuuka's world we learned what we wanted. They are more than happy with just the three of us," Asuna said with a smile.

"And you?" Urara asked looking at her.

"I was a knight that ignored this side of myself as a woman. I don't even know if I only like women or not. Neither does Chibi when it comes down to it...and I want to explore these feelings more. I won't deny there are a few women that make me aroused as a woman," she said with a smile.

"Really?" Urara asked.

"Yup," Asuna said with a smirk. "I also want to, eventually, explore men."

"And Kanon and Chibi are open to that?" Urara asked.

"Yes. We love each other. We fell in love in this hell we all fell into. We trust and love each other. So if I were to do anything they would trust me and trust that I knew what I was doing. And I feel the same way with them. What about you and Fuuka?" she asked looking at her.

"W-We talked about guys joining us," she said. Asuna stopped.

"You have a woman you might want to join you?" Asuna asked.

"Fuck it," Urara said and kissed Asuna. Asuna kissed her back as a smile spread as she kissed her.

"Took you long enough," Asuna moaned dragging her to a nearby closet.

"What do you plan on doing in here?" Urara asked in a whisper.

"Well, we are in a hospital. So why don't we play doctor?" Asuna asked closing the door behind them as Urara giggled.

Asuna pulled her top back on smiling. Urara couldn't believe what she had just done. Part of her couldn't help but think about her husband for a few hours. She felt like he would love Asuna and Fuuka. Asuna kissed her one more time causing her to giggle.

"I don't have to worry about an angry ninja do I?" Asuna asked with a smile. Urara shook her head smiling from ear to ear.

"We did talk about you," she said smiling. "She saw that I had feelings for you. We both lost so much. And I want to find my full course meal that Sungel...asked me to do," she said her voice cracking and Asuna hugged her. Urara kissed Asuna again. "So we made a promise to each other, Fuuka and I."

"What's the promise?" Asuna asked.

"We each would have ONE 'freebie' of sorts. One person man or woman that we could have another relationship with by ourselves. AND one man for the both of us at some point. And...there was no way YOU wouldn't be mine," Urara said kissing her again.

"I feel special," Asuna said with a smile.

"You are sweetie. I was just sure that you wouldn't feel the same way I did," Urara said with a smile.

"Oh I feel the same way...just want things to happen as they happen. Especially with existing couples. The last thing I want to do is break up a couple," Asuna said with a smile.

"Nice of you," Urara said kissing her with a smile.

"I am a knight of honor after all," Asuna said also smiling and kissing her again. At that point the door to the closet they were in opened while they were in mid-kiss. They turned to face the person at the door to see Fuuka and Kanon standing there.

"What happened?" Asuna asked seeing the looks on their faces.

"...While you two, Ju, and Nico were having fun something happened," Kanon said.

Asuna, Urara, Kanon, and Fuuka entered the lobby of the hospital. "PARADO!" someone sobbed. They heard the sobs before they saw the body. Nico was crying over the body of Parado. Unmoving and lifeless. Ju trying to hold her.

While the four of them had been lost in their individual lusts a member of the Tojitendo generals had shown up...and attacked. Woz, Kanon, and Fuuka fought him off and managed to destroy him...but only after he killed Parado. Woz saw Asuna and Urara holding hands. And realized why they weren't there.

"Don't," he said to her.

"Don't what?" she asked a tear forming in the corner of her eyes.

"Don't blame yourself. It happened so fast none of us could have stopped it."

"What lead those bastards here?" Urara asked.

"It was because of Nico's job. One of the clients didn't like her only working there certain nights. Found out about this place and pulled some strings with some underlings to attack the hospital," Kanon said holding the other hand of Asuna as Chibi came up to hug her girlfriends.

"How do we know this?" Asuna asked. Fuuka let go of Urara's hand and walked over to a TV and turned it on. Nico with tear-filled eyes turned to look at the TV to see the slime that she hated to service. Her last client before the Hakaiger had shown up in this world...being tortured to death by Plex Shujin.

"Everyone fled when they realized Plex was here and angry about the attack," Chibi said softly.

"I can figure out why that is. While he didn't use Plex's name as some had done before," Ju said holding her girlfriend close. "He did redirect resources for this. The Tojitendo don't take too kindly to that. And Plex was pissed at you so their leader sent him here after the last near miss with Woz. To let off steam."

"Near miss?" Nico asked.

"I was watching that day. I saw him kill Ohma Zi-O," she said looking at Woz. "He was called away to the world where they met Fuuka...but they were heading for the world where he was. When he found out he was pissed."

"We need to get out of here," Asuna said looking at him as he tortured this man.

"I see what you mean. This is all before he knew that the idiot that idiot sent is dead he will come here and level this place himself," Kanon said looking at Parado, Nico, and Ju. Nico heard the screams of the bastard that caused all of this and roared. She got up and ran at the TV and smashed it. Anger hitting her for the first time in years.

"Nico..." Ju sighed looking at her.

"I don't care what happens to that bastard. He deserves it..." Nico said through tears. Asuna saw it in her eyes. She didn't believe what she was saying but pain trumped her kind nature. Ju went up to her. She looked into her girlfriend's eyes. "Why Parado?" Nico sobbed Ju took her into her arms and let her sob.

"H-He hated that I went there. He wanted me to never do any of those things," Nico sobbed. "But they were doctors...they would want to help people. HE WOULD WANT TO HELP PEOPLE!" she sobbed. Nico pushed Ju away. Ju didn't know what she was doing as she went over to a pile of rubble that was always in that corner as long as Ju had been here.

"Nico sweetie we have to leave," Ju said looking at her as she started to move the rubble.

"I know..." Nico said swallowing her sobs. She didn't stop shifting rocks. "Y-You said that you changed me to be compatible with the Rider Gashats, right?" she asked removing a box that was hidden under the rubble.

"Yes, why?" Ju asked. And then a belt appeared around her silk robe-covered waist.

"BANG BANG SHOOTING!" they all heard. And then barrels appeared around her. She turned around holding the last thing she ever got from Taiga. His Bang Bang Shooting Gashat and wearing a Gamer Driver. She twirled the Gashat as she had seen Taiga do so often before he died.

She caught the Gashat in the right position too. It mimicked Taiga exactly. And looking at everyone still with tears in her eyes. "Henshin!" she said. And spun the Gashat again as she set it into place. Ju, who had seen Taiga's henshin many times saw a mental image of him doing the same things standing right next to her the whole time. She shot her character with a finger gun after they spun around her.

"LET'S GAME! SUPER GAME! ULTRA GAME! WHATCHA NAME?!" they heard. As Nico became the base form of normal Gamer Driver Riders. "I'M A KAMEN RIDER!" they heard the final chime from the Driver.

"Second tactic," Nico said as she pulled open the Gamer Driver to show the words Gamer Driver.

"LEVEL UP!" the driver rang as a window popped up in front of her and she walked through. "BA-BANG BANG! BANG BA-BANG! BANG BANG SHOOTING!" it said as she became another Kamen Rider Snipe. She held out her hand and caught her Gashacon Magnum.

"Nico...?" Ju asked seeing her like this.

"I'm joining the Hakaiger!" Nico said. "I don't care if you hate them, babe. But it's like Asuna said before: I'LL BE DAMNED IF I LET ANY OTHER NICO FEEL THIS PAIN!" Nico roared sobs mixed in as she spoke.

"And I'll help you however I can," Ju said walking up to her girlfriend.

"Then," Asuna said a sad look at Parado. Yet another hero they failed to save. "Let's find a way to beat these bastards!" she said and opened another portal to another world where they hoped to find more allies in this fight to protect the other Sentai, Riders, Rangers, Ultraman, and lord knows who else that the Tojitendo could target.
