Chapter 14 - Idol jumps to the sky part 3

A row of squad cars pull up in front of a group of warehouses at the docks. Kamen Rider Masquerade stands waiting outside of one of them. Three of the warehouses have the doors chained shut, with pressure against pushing against them from inside the buildings. One by one, police officers exit out of their cars, guns in hand, and get into position. Genkei is among them, he too aims his gun at Masquerade. Two detectives from the group break formation to approach Masquerade, "You are under arrest. Put your hands in the air, and disengage your transformation!" Masquerade just scoffs and turns around to turn towards one of the warehouse doors. "I said freeze!" One of the detectives grabs him by the shoulder, screaming into his ear. The detective falls silent as Masquerade turns around and punches them in the gut. They gasp, winded from the attack. Their skin turns pitch black before their model dissolves and morphs into a low-level Fallen. He tosses them into the other detective. The Fallen pins them down onto the ground. With them now out of the way, the rest of the police department starts to open fire on Masquerade. He stands there, taking every shot that lands, but nothing comes of it. "You're only here for bait, so I don't expect you to live too long after this," Masquerade creates his broadsword and slashes at the chains holding the doors shut. The doors burst open as a large swarm of Fallen pours out into the open.

40 low-level Fallen are unleashed onto the police department. They try firing on the Fallen, but their bullets barely harm them. Masquerade starts to walk towards the other two warehouses, dragging the tip of their sword on the floor. Genkei is the only one to see him during the commotion, "He must have the rest of the Fallen in the other warehouses!" Genkei climbs over the cars to pass through the crowd of demons. As Genkei's feet hit the ground, he hears the sound of a familiar engine. He turns to see the bright light in the distance. Within a second the crowd of Fallen is split open, some bursting into dust as Kamen Rider Idol cuts through, sword in one hand, canon in the other. The 40 Fallen are brought down to less than 15 as Idol's dual-wielding assault turns them to black dust on the ground. Best he can with his hands full, Idol stirs his bike towards Masquerade.

Behind their mask, Kane smiles upon seeing Idol and starts running towards him, playing chicken with his bike. Before they meet, Masquerade throws his sword at the front tire. The sword explodes, causing the bike to halt. Masquerade jumps, throwing his foot in the air into a kick. His attack hits Idol in the chest. The force pushes him off the bike, and land on his back. The impact causes him to drop both weapons on the floor beside him. Idol reaches for his sword when Masquerade comes closer to the ground, forming another sword in his hand upon coming closer. Gripping the sword tight, they try to impale him, but Idol uses his sword to parry the attack. The tip of the sword stabs the concreate beside Idol's neck.

Idol's grip on his sword is weak. Masquerade is able to kick it out of his hand. He pulls his sword out of the ground, "I expected more from you Idol. Maybe you weren't so tough." Before Masquerade puts his arm down to attack when he is tackled by Genkei. He grapples the rider the best he can, pushing him away from Idol. Idol looks to the side and reaches for the canon, pulling his lion idol out of his driver. Masquerade lets Genkei push him towards the warehouse door, "You are just annoying right now. Learn to stay out of other people's business." Masquerade grabs Genkei by the collar and starts to punch him, slamming his fist into their stomach and chest. Genkei's face becomes battered and bloody after every punch Masquerade lands on him. He grabs Genkei by the neck and picks him up, snakeheads start to appear around the wrist.

"Put him down!" Idol calls out, holding the canon in his hands as he has loaded the lion idol into the device, triggering the finisher of the weapon. A bright burning light appears at the end. Upon reflects Masquerade holds Genkei in front of him, using him as a shield. Idol hesitates upon seeing Genkei being used this way. "What will you do hero? Give up his life to stop me?" Masquerade mocks, seeing Idol's finger twitch around the trigger. Before he could make a decision, Idol is tackled down by two Fallen. On accident, the cannon fires, blasting the doors to the warehouse behind Masquerade. Although destroying some of the Fallen hiding behind them, the rest that was inside started pouring out, joining the others in their fight against the police. The cannon is knocked out of Idol's hands, forcing him to use his wrist claws as Fallen surround him. Although he can fight one or two off, their numbers are greater.

Idol can just barely see Genkei through the crowd as Masquerade turns him around to look him in the eyes. "I wasn't expecting that to be honest. But thank you for being my shield. Here's your reward." One of the snakeheads bites into Genkei's neck, but Idol is unable to see it happen, even after breaking free from the crowd of Fallen. To Masquerade's surprise, nothing happens. Before he could attack with more snakeheads, Masquerade is attacked. A spirit of a wolf bites down on his shoulder. Its teeth grip onto him tight, piercing the suit until he lets go of Genkei. The wolf lets go and rush back towards the course, walking over the remains of Fallen that it has just destroyed. It runs into James's arms as he walks towards the fight, carrying his sword backward. The wolf combines with the suit, crystallizing into metallic armour that shows off the wolf theme.

"James!" Idol calls out, before covering their mouth. "Kamen Rider Fang," Masquerade sounds excited, creating two swords, one in each hand. "Tonight's moon will be your last, Masquerade," Fang growls his words before charging at the rider. The two meet in the middle, clashing blades as Fang pushes him back. Fang ducks as Masquerade swings both swords across. He slashes the rider for the gut, causing sparks to appear as he notices Idol's sword on the floor. Fang stands beside his brother's sword. He kicks it, making it jump higher enough for him to catch it. Now that both riders are dual-wielding swords they come at each other, swinging their blades, catching each other where they can. Sparks fly off their suits, with Fang purposely aiming for their shoulder.

With space made between Idol and Masquerade, he quickly rushes to Genkei, and grabs him, "Officer, just hang on. I'll get you help, just stay with me." Genkei looks up at the young rider and then looks across towards the horde of Fallen. "We have a medic team...just across that horde, but kid..you won't get through with me like this." Genkei tries to stand up, but falls back to his knees, Idol catching him before he falls on the floor. "Just focus on helping the others, and stop that lunatic." Idol looks around, he sees Fang busy fighting with Masquerade, while the police officers struggle with the Fallen. "No! I can't let you down! I told you that you can trust me, and I refuse to break that!" While looking around, Idol sees that his bike and cannon are by the horde, while Fang has his sword.

The fight between Fang and Masquerade continues, Fang seems to have the upper hand. Masquerade tries to guard with both swords, but Fang tears through them shattering one of them. Two Fallen try to enter the fight. They grab Fang from behind but he stabs one of them with Idol's sword and decapitates the other with his. With this distraction, Masquerade tosses the broken sword towards the third warehouse. In the heat of the moment, no one could stop it as it collides and explodes on impact with the chains, freeing the remaining Fallen. The last 20 swarms out of the warehouse, and start to charge towards the two riders' direction. Using their power, Masquerade leaps onto higher ground, climbing onto one of the buildings. "Finish the riders!" Masquerade calls out. The Fallen leave the police alone, leaving them all still alive, just injured, and they come running for Idol and Fang. Fang stands his ground, looking in both directions, preparing for a fight, while Idol still has Genkei in his arms.

Fang looks out at Idol, "You know if you don't survive, I'm taking that idol." Idol looks at his brother. Behind the mask, he gives him a 'are you serious right now?' expression, but at that moment, he remembers something. Idol stands up, grabbing the grasshopper idol from earlier as the ground starts to shake with the drumming of over 50 Fallen coming towards them. Idol weighs his opinions in his head before pulling the lion idol out of his driver. Fang sees this but then sees the green idol. Idol pushes the green idol into the driver, "Grasshopper!" the driver calls out, followed by a soft melody. The lion armour on the suit disappears, leaving just the black undersuit. As the horde gets closer, Jiro slams the trigger down, "Dai Henshin!" From the driver, the spirit of a green grasshopper leaps out of the idol and clashes with a few of the Fallen, destroying them. It turns to Idol and leaps onto him. The grasshopper starts to crystallize around areas of the suit, mostly the legs before turning into green metallic armour, making him, Kamen Rider Idol Grasshopper.
