Quartzer 6
1431: The Maiden of light and the Maiden of Darkness final part
The next plan
3rd POV
Inside the forest, France
Year 1431
As we go back to the fight, we saw that the Riders, Chaldea, and the Servants are now fighting against the beasts. With the ones causing the most kills being Decade, Wizard, Zi-O, Geiz, Wizard, Den-O, Tsukuyomi, Artoria, Artoria Alter, Medusa and Mash. As they continue to fight, the Riders are really surprised at how Artoria Alter can be so destructive is with the latter not only turning Excalibur Morgan into a sword of dark light, but also firing energy blasts that look like dragon heads from her hands.
"Umm... Blue Artoria-san can you do that?" Zi-O asked. As he and Ritsuka appeared.
"Firstly, I can't and second please don't call me that!" She slices another monster as Artoria Lily appears to stab another beast.
"Whew, that was close, hey older me, Sougo-san. Master!" She waved at the two.
"Wow hard to believe that is your younger self." Zi-O said to Artoria.
"And she is really bubbly too." Ritsuka added.
"Well, I'm kind of cheerful back then." Artoria said with a melancholic tone. This caused Zi-O to be suddenly sad as he also thinks about Alter as the latter and Lily reminds him of himself and Oma Zi-O.
Meanwhile, Medusa was now working alongside Tsukuyomi, Kivala, Diend and Mash as they also continue to fight the monsters. Tsukuyomi and Diend being helping the others with their time stopping powers. This caused Medusa, Kivala and Mash to continuously attack the creatures. As this was going on, Kuuga, Jeanne, Ghost, Marie and Amadeus are now doing what they can to help with Amadeus using his song to create soundwaves that pierce the beasts and Marie shooting them with pink lasers at them.
"Wow! I never would have thought that you two can stop time." Marie said.
"Well, I have this ability since I was very young. So, I got quite used to it." Tsukuyomi answered as she kicks another beast away.
"And as for me her big brother forcefully gave some of his power to me." Diend said as he continuously shoots the beast. As the battle rages on, the heroes are now getting tired with Decade saying.
"Alright everyone, we need to stop playing around. We need to wrap this up!"
The others nod at this with Artoria Alter saying, "Couldn't have said better myself." The Riders then started to use their finishers.
FINISH TIME! TIME BURST/TIME JACK!
FINAL ATTACK RIDE: DECADE/DIEND!
DAI KAIGAN ORE! OMEGA DRIVE!
CHOINE KICK STRIKE SAIKO!
FULL CHARGE!
They then started to attack with Decade using his sword to slash through the card holograms to destroy the beasts. Diend by shooting a large blue laser, Kivala by slashing through her enemies with her blade. While having energy wings on her back, Zi-O using his rider kick, with Geiz and Tsukuyomi following with their own rider kicks. As well as Ghost, Kuuga and Wizard. As for Den-O he uses his sword to slash away all the beasts.
As for the Servants, as soon as the Riders finishes their attacks, then proceeds to finish the fight. With Artoria Alter shouting, "Ok, fools on me!" She then charges her mana causing her visor to break with her yellow eyes glowed with intensity. This caused Artoria, Artoria Lily, Mash, and the other Servants to intuitively know what she is going to do.
"EVERYONE! GET BACK! IT'S ABOUT TO GET REALLY MESSY HERE!" Artoria shouted to the others, as she and Artoria Lily joined Alter as they too charged their mana with their aura being blue, gold, and white. The other Servants then nod as they too stand back as the Artoria trio then get ready to attack with Artoria dispelling the wind that was covering her own Excalibur which was revealed to be a European sword that was identical to Artoria Alter's sword only it's hilts colors are blue and gold. As for Artoria Lily it is the same as Artoria only smaller and with more design. This is Caliburn the Sword in the Stone.
The three then get ready with Artoria and Artoria Alter raising their swords with Lily pointing her sword while holding it with her two hands. They then charged their mana as particles of light and darkness filled each of their blades. They then chanted.
"SHEATHED IN THE BREATH OF THE PLANET, A TORRENT OF SHINING LIFE FEEL IT'S WRATH!"
"VORTIGERN, HAMMER OF THE VILE KING, REVERSE THE RISING SUN, SWALLOW THE LIGHT!"
"SWORD OF SELECTION. GRANT ME POWER. CLEAVE THE WICKED!"
EXCALIBUR/EXCALBUR MORGAN/CALIBURN! (約束された勝利の剣/勝利すべき黄金の剣)
And with that beams of light then merge into a combination of a lion and dragon as it destroys the beasts. which causes a pillar of gold and dark light to appear. Which causes most of the others to cover their eyes, as they saw that it destroyed most of the trees.
"Wow... That was some lightshow." Diend marveled.
"Well, as expected of the three aspects of the King of Knights." Jeanne D'Arc complimented. As she and the others regroup to them. The Riders are now back in their normal forms. With Tsukasa saying.
"Now that's out of the way, let's get back into talking okay?"
"Yeah, I'm sick of all this small fry." Artoria Alter said as she lets her armor disappear with her other selves followed suit. Artoria Alter is now wearing a purple gothic sleeveless ballgown with black sleeves on her arms as well as exposing her chest, Artoria being a blue version of it only much more modest, while Artoria Lily wearing a white version of Artoria Alter's dress.
"Ok then, we'll start to explain the situation." Mash said.
"Yeah, and I hope this will make us be on the same page. Okay." Sougo and Ritsuka said.
(Cue Opening Theme: Over Quartzer by Shuta Sueyoshi Ft ISSA)
As the 'Grand Order' begins The Kamen Riders and Chaldea are now set to go to the first Singularity. Rejoice for the quest for Humanity's future begins
Oh, yeah, Oh...
We saw Mash, Ritsuka, Roman, Da Vinci look and marveled at the Rider kicking Kamen Riders, when suddenly they saw Zi-O, Den O, Ghost, Build, Wizard and Decade walking as their faces are now shown.

Sougo POV
Inside the forest, France
Year 1431
As the heroes finish their explanation, Marie was now deep in thought, "—Now I understand. The whole world, never mind France, is in danger. Although it is in a different form, this too, is a Holy Grail War? Amadeus, I knew it was dangerous when I learned it was a Master-less summoning, but I didn't expect this."
"Now there were five Servants in opposition. Twelfth total including Mash, the Gorgon and the three King of Knights, but isn't that too much?" Amadeus asked.
This caused Mash to reply, "The rule of seven Servants is no more. ...Although that does not mean infinite. It is not surprising at all if there are more than seven Servants. ...According to the records, one time a total of fifteen Servants fought."
"Woah! I never knew that!" Sougo said.
"Well get used to it Demon King, because it will get a lot crazier." Artoria Alter said.
"Oh, I get it! I've figured it out, everyone! We were summoned so that— We could defeat them, like heroes!"
This caused the others to sigh with Sougo saying, "It might be to destroy the world."
Marie narrowed her eyes, "Non, non, non! That is not right, Sougo-san. I love everybody. Just as I did when I was alive. I wouldn't need these feelings to destroy the world, and they wouldn't summon me anyway!"
"I for one think you're right." Ritsuka said.
"Yes, yes! I finally feel like I've found my job in life!" Marie smiled.
"It's perfectly fine to be confident, Maria. But we're up against powerful foes." Amadeus implored at Marie, "Jeanne, the three King Arthurs, Medusa and Mash, as well as Fujimaru and the Kamen Riders are used to combat. But you and I are not the fighting type. The numbers matter less than the fact that they are far stronger.
"Indeed. Vlad III and Elisabeth Bathory. One carved their name into history as a hero and the other a murderess."
"Yeah and are also inspirations for many vampire flicks." Haruto said. with Takeru nodding.
"You're right, but the other that looked like a Saber seemed to know Marie." Mash said deep in thought.
This caused everyone to be so shocked. With Sougo saying, "Is that true, Marie-san?"
"That is right, if she knows who I am then she is... Perhaps she's Chevalier d'Eon? I've no proof, though."
"Chevalier d'Eon... A spy with Louis XV's intelligence agency, the Secret du Roi. She was also a Dragoon, and a plenipotentiary minister... She, no, maybe he?" Romani explained.
"My, my so, she's just like a Knight eh..." Artoria Alter said while smiling.
"Wow... Never thought you can smile like that." Artoria Lily exclaimed in a disturbed tone.
"And it really creeps me out." Artoria agreed.
"It matters little, mage from a distant world. She was summoned from a different time than me, but her splendid face hasn't changed." Marie said with a cheerful tone.
"I see... It would be wonderful if she would join us..."
"I agree with that Doc she could help us in our fight." Sento replied.
"That might be difficult, I think." Jeanne said.
"What do you mean, Jeanne?" Yusuke asked.
"You see I've lost my Ruler's ability to see True Names, but there is one thing I could see."
And what's that?"
"All of them have been given 'Madness Enhancement.' regardless of their alignment or background."
"Kyuu."
"Wait, Madness Enhancement? You mean that they've gone cuckoo?" Geiz asked.
"No, it's probably the power of the Grail. Even without an episode of madness. It can give them Berserker traits."
"Which means they can have the strength of a Berserker even without going mad?" Woz said.
"This caused Marie to pout, "Hmph, The Goal of the Holy Grail War is to get the Grail, but they already have it. IT'S NOT FAIR!" She shouted in an angry tone.
"But that leaves one mystery. Why were you summoned?" Jeanne pondered.
"Yeah, I've been wondering about that myself as a fellow summoner." Kaitou said.
"I agree with Daiki-san here. From what I have heard from Tsukasa as well as seeing the summoning. I'm beginning to think that there is something wrong." Natsumi explains in a deep worried tone.
"...This is just a theory. Even though the Holy Grail War has not begun, someone already has the Grail. This is a reversal of causality. A bug, if you will, and perhaps the Grail is resisting it. The greater the opponent, the more powerful the Grail's reaction."
"Then that means..." Medusa said.
"... So then... In other words, somewhere else in France—"
"Indeed. There may be other Servants summoned here like Marie."
This caused Marie and the others with former saying, "Oh my! That means I can meet even more people, right?"
Amadeus then tries to calm Marie, "That's not necessarily a good thing. It may just mean more enemies."
"Yeah we don't even know if they want to be allies or not." Tsukuyomi said.
"But whichever it is, we should start searching for them as soon as we can. Before the other Jeanne finds them." Amadeus continued.
"I see what you mean." Artoria agreed.
"Indeed. I've lost my ability to detect Servants. So, we'll have to depend on Mr. Roman."
"Sure thing. I can't match a full-powered Ruler. But I can search farther than a Servant."
"Wow! I didn't know you could do that!" Sento exclaimed.
"Guess you are not really useless after all." Woz snarked.
"Let's take a little break first! You're all tired, right?" Marie asked.
"Yeah, I agree with you, we've spent all our time fighting. That I think we should rest." Ritsuka said with Sougo nodding in agreement.
Tsukasa smiled, "Guess we're in agreement then."
Mash smiled, "Yes Master, Kadoya-san, rest for a bit. We'll stand watch."
"Ok, we'll rest for a while, we need to get ready for next battle." Tsukuyomi smiled.
"I'm going to patrol the area alongside Tsukuyomi-san, Medusa-san and Hikari-san. Jeanne-san, please wait here." Mash said.
"Don't worry we'll make sure that no one gets through us." Natsumi assured the others.
"Yeah... If you can guard us.' Tsukasa muttered.
This caused Natsumi to angry with her saying, "You've done it now Tsukasa-kun." She then goes towards him and shouted.
Hikari secret Technique: LAUGHING PRESSURE POINT! (光家秘伝笑いの急所)
She then hits her thumb in Tsukasa's neck who then starts laughing uncontrollably with the others except Kaitou.
"Does this happen all the time?" Sougo asks Kaitou.
"Well no, this always occurs whenever Tsukasa is going out of line or pissing Natsumi off"
"Yeah and it really stings." M-Ryotaro agreed. Remembering the time that he also being hit by the pressure point while possessing Tsukasa.
"Well that is the most ridiculous punishment I've ever seen in my life." Artoria Alter said with an unimpressed tone.
This caused the others to sigh as Tsukasa started to calm down, "Man, Natsumikan you really have done it this time."
"Oh, be quiet now just rest Tsukasa-kun. You're gonna need it." Natsumi said with a smile.
"Fine..." Tsukasa muttered.
As most of the group rest, we saw that Jeanne, Marie, the Artoria trio as well as Sougo, Yusuke, Ryotaro, Tsukasa and Takeru sitting down with Marie asking, "ls something wrong, Jeanne? You seem defeated... Are you tired?"
"Marie... No, I'm not tired. I am a Servant, after all." Jeanne replied.
"Umm... I think that's not what I think she meant." Takeru said.
"Yeah I agree." Ryotaro agreed.
"Me too." Yusuke added.
"Yes, what I meant is perhaps you're saddened by the state France is in... I mean, are you disappointed?" Marie asked.
"I agree are you sad?" Sougo asked.
"No, I'm not disappointed. Thank you for your concern, Marie. Sougo-kun. But... Seeing those familiar towns in flames is a bit hard to bear." Jeanne answered.
"Yes... For you, especially, this era is exactly like it was when you were alive. It is different than what I feel inside... Memories that are still going on. Yes! Why do not we take this time to talk Girls' night out! You too Kings of Knights."
This caused Jeanne and the Artoria trio to be surprised with Jeanne saying, "...Excuse me?"
"Woah!" Sougo said in surprise.
"Is she serious?" Tsukasa muttered.
"Wait. Hold up." Artoria said.
"Are you serious? I'm not a King or a Knight anymore just a tyrant." Artoria Alter replied with a deadpan tone.
"But I'm not king yet! I'm just called the Princess of Knights." Artoria Lily shouted.
"Oh, is that strange? But both you four and I were summoned in the bloom of our youth. You see? I am in the middle of puberty, right? So, I love talking about love and romance!"
Jeanne was getting embarrassed, "Ahaha... I appreciate the offer, but that is hard for me. I know of compassion, but not romance."
"I have to agree with the saint here." Artoria Alter interjected.
"But... You're missing out on life! It's not too late to start! Fall in love with someone, Jeanne! Kings of Knights!"
"Of course, if I get the chance. Have you fallen in love, Marie?"
"Yes, Have you?" Artoria Lily asked.
"Heheh, of course." Marie smiled. As She continues, "I fell in love with a boy who proposed to me at age 7. I think it was my first love. And when I was 14, I fell in love with the king I married."
This caused everyone to be surprised with Sougo, Ryotaro and Takeru shouting, "Are you for real!"
"14! That's kind of amazing." Jeanne exclaims with amazement.
"That really is going too far." Artoria Alter said.
"When I was that age... I was working and playing in the fields with the other children."
"Well as for me I always clean the stables, go to festivals and go on various journeys with Merlin and Kay-Niisan." Artoria Lily smiled.
This caused the other two Artorias to have a look of longing. As Lily looks at them with confusion. Marie then smiled, "That sounds fun, too! I am jealous. It must be such fun to be able to go wherever you want!"
"Yes, it was fun. What I lacked in romance, I made up for in friendship." Jeanne replied.
"Did all the boys like you four?" Marie asked.
"Hmm, my hair was short then, so they treated me like one of the guys—"
"And my Knights just treated me like a king and not a human nothing more." Artoria answered. Causing Lily to be sad while Alter is silent
"Oh, I'm so glad I became a Servant! I cannot believe I am having girl talk with Jeanne d'Arc. And three versions of Artoria Pendragon! It's good to be a queen!" Marie said while smiling, which causes Jeanne and the Artoria trio to be really surprised.
"Jeez she is such a silly queen." Artoria Alter said facepalming.
"The honor is mine. Who would have thought that I get to talk to the famous Marie Antoinette? It's good to be a Servant." Jeanne smiled.
"Wow... They sure are should I say eccentric." Tsukasa said.
"...Marie."
"Yes."
Suddenly from out of nowhere, Mash, Medusa, Tsukuyomi and Kivala appeared with the former saying, "I am sorry, both of you. It appears to be an enemy attack!"
"What!" The boys shouted.
"I knew it." Jeanne gritted.
"Oh my." Marie said.
"I'll go wake up Master and the others!" Mash shouted as she goes towards the tents where Ritsuka and the others are sleeping.
As this was going on, Sougo feels like something gigantic is about to happen. He and the Riders then pulled out their belts as they saw Ritsuka, Kaitou and Haruto coming out of the tents with Ritsuka saying, "Everyone we're here!"
"Whoa! That's one hell of an army." Kaitou said as she started to shoot at the beasts.
Haruto then said as he scans his Wizardriver making it appear, "Ok then guys let's transform now!"
The other untransformed Riders nodded as they put on their belts.
"Master, your orders!" Mash said.
"Come, Ritsuka Fujimaru. I will show you the power that I could not show you before! —Tomboy princess, coming through! I will dance brilliantly, like glasswork!" Marie announced as she started to make a stance.
"Everyone! Let us get ready!"
"HENSHIN!"
RIDER TIME! KAMEN RIDER ZI-O!
RIDER TIME! KAMEN RIDER GEIZ!
KAMEN RIDE! DECADE!
KAMEN RIDE! DIEND
SWORD FORM
FLAME PLEASE HI-HI-HI-HI
KAIGAN ORE GHOST READY GO KAKUGO GHO-GHO-GHOST KAKUGO KAKUGO!
They then transform into their Rider forms, with them readying their weapons. With the Servants as well as Kivala and Tsukuyomi joining them, as they start to attack the beasts. With the three Artorias now in their armor teaming up alongside Zi-O and Decade, Mash with Tsukuyomi, Medusa and Kivala. With the rest of the Riders teaming up with Marie, Jeanne, and Amadeus.
"Ok then guys, let's do this!" Den-O shouted. They then started to fight the beasts, with the ones having the most kills being Artoria, Artoria Alter, Medusa, Zi-O, Geiz, Decade, Diend and Wizard.
"This is getting really annoying!" Geiz shouted. As he cuts a beast in half.
"They are as vicious as the Gurongis!" Kuuga shouted as he punches another. He then picks up a wooden stick as it turns into a sword and turning him into his titan form as he continues slashing at his enemies
"Well if that's the case then this will!" Artoria Alter then unleashes a dark dragon wave. To destroy it which causes a huge explosion that causes shockwaves. The others barely got out with Artoria shouting.
"Hey Phantom! Stop doing that!"
Artoria Alter smirk at this, "Oops... Sorry about that!" She then stabs another beast causing it to explode. Medusa alongside Tsukuyomi, Mash and Kivala meanwhile are fighting as well as impaling many beasts with her chains.
ROD FORM
"Hey guys! Guess you need a hand! Keep him chained" Den-O Rod form said. he then uses his throw his rod at the beast causing a blue target mark to appear. And then scanning his pass.
FULL CHARGE!
He then uses a rider kick, which then causes the beast to explode. The three then meet up with Den-O with Tsukuyomi asking, "Is that you, Urataros-san?"
"Yes, it's me I just notice that you ladies are having a hard time."
"Hey, Kame, would you please stop interrupting me!" Momotaros shouted as he possessed Den-O again changing to Sword Form.
"Geez that Kame really, really annoying."
"Now it's Momotaros-san." Mash said.
"Sorry about that Kame always has a thing for the ladies."
"Yeah noted." Medusa said as she stabs another beast throwing it away with her chain.
"Sorry for interrupting but we have more matters to attend to." Kivala interrupted as she slashes another.
"Oh right." Tsukuyomi said as she and the others join, as the hours pass, the fighting is now taking a toll at our heroes with Wizard pulling another ring on his right finger as he scans it. with the Driver announcing.
FIRE DRAGON! BOU BOU BOU BOU BOU
He then turns into a modified version of his flame style with a long red coat. He then pulls out his connect ring and scans it
CONNECT PLEASE
And pull out what looks like a wrist compass.
DRAGO TIME! SET UP! START!
He then started to fight the beast all the while clicking at the timer causing three more version of himself. With the colors brown, green and blue. This caused the others except the Riders to be really surprised.
With Amadeus saying as he destroys another beast, "My, my he can use cloning magic?"
Marie then whistled, "Wow with a variety of colors too."
"OK... EVERYONE! I'M GONNA HEAT THINGS UP!"
This the Riders then knew what was about to happen with Diend saying, "Ok do what you gotta do!"
Wizard then scans the Drago Timer.
FINAL TIME ALL DRAGON PLEASE!
We then saw the three wizards merged with the main one to form wings, claws, and a dragon's head on wizard. As he flies towards the enemies, he then pulls out another ring and scans it with it announcing.
CHOINE SPECIAL SAIKO!
He then burns most of the beasts alive with his Dragon Head, this caused awe from the Servants and Ritsuka with Artoria saying, "My, I knew that he had a Dragon Phantom inside of him. but I never would have thought that it can burn enemies that effectively." The other Servants also agree at this.
"Ok that takes care of that." Decade said while dusting off his hands.
"Servants detected! Also, multiple life-forms detected!" Roman shouted
"Careful! Everyone!' Sento shouted.
"...Master!"
"Ok, Mash. Prepare for battle!"
"Yes!" Mash smiled.
"What a drag. I have detected it, too. Having good hearing is not always a good thing." Amadeus exclaimed as he then continues speaking, "In fact, I hate this sound so much it makes me want to scream. The sound of an enemy's footstep is worse than a high-pitched trumpet."
This statement caused the others especially Mash who then asks him, "You can hear them at this distance?"
"And don't tell me you just do what I think you just did?" Tsukuyomi asked.
"Of course. I became a Servant because of my music. I can detect any sound wave in the air. For instance, the sound of you and Maria's sleeping when we were camping. I enjoyed listening to them both. But not just the sound of you sleeping. I have recorded all the tiny sounds your body makes in my Wolfgang Recorder!"
This caused the girls to scream with Artoria and Artoria Alter drawing their swords, Kivala cracking her fist and Medusa readying her chains. Mash then shouted, "A-A sexually harassing Servant!"
"Do you really want to die." Artoria said with Artoria Alter snarling.
"You little perv!" Kivala shouted.
"I'm sorry, Mash. Everyone. As his keeper, I apologize. But bear with him a little. Without his ears, he is nothing more than a pervert!" This caused Amadeus to be really, angry at Marie for saying that.
"What are you saying? Human beings create filth just by living! Only by realizing that can you create true music. Life is filth, and music cleanses it. —Now then, I hear footsteps, and drawn swords. Human beings create filth just by living! Naught but boorish noise. I do not write my music for fools, but—You've come all this way. I shall play my Requiem of Death for you!" Amadeus shouted at them as he uses his conducting skills to create shockwaves.
"Man, he's such a perv." Decade and Wizard said
As the hours pass all the battle there is only beasts with Zi-O and Kuuga both destroying it with one slash. Mash who was now getting tired then said, "All that's left are the Servants!"
"Is everybody all right? Does anyone need healing?" Marie shouted.
"No, we're fine." Geiz exclaimed.
"Yeah. We are good here too. What about you, Mash?" Jeanne asks Mash.
"I'm fine. Doctor, are they here yet?"
"—They're coming. Are you ready?"
"You here that my Demon King?" Woz asked.
Just then a voice called out, "...Hello, everybody. What a lonely night." They turned and it was Berserk Rider who was now walking towards them. this caused Jeanne to point her flagpole at her and shouted.
"—Who are you?"
"Yeah! Who are you!" Zi-O shouted.
B. Rider replied with an answer, "Who? Let us see, I wonder who I am. I forced myself to be a righteous saint, but in this world, I am a slave to a broken one."
"A broken saint..." Jeanne murmured.
"Yes, thanks to her, my reason has left, and I've gone mad. I am doing everything I can to hold myself back. What a mess this is. So, while I appreciate your hopes, I cannot join you. You don't want a Servant who'll stab you from behind at every single opportunity, do you?"
This caused the heroes to frown with Jeanne shouting, "Then why did you come here?"
"Yeah and we didn't even ask you to join us." Ghost interjected.
"...My task was to observe you, but my waning reason whispers that I should test you. You face the Dragon Witch. Disaster incarnate, riding on the 'ultimate dragon.' If you cannot surpass me, you will never defeat her. Defeat me. Plunge your blade into my heart without hesitation. My True Name is Martha. Now come to me, Iron Dragon Tarasque!" She then summons a Dragon and proceeds to ride it.
"St. Martha? Don't tell me..." Ghost said.
"Martha... Saint Martha? Watch out, everyone!"
"Why is something wrong Doc? You too as well Tenkuji-san/Ghost" Tsukuyomi and Diend asked.
"She once defeated a dragon with nothing but prayers! If she is a Servant, that means— "
St. Maria then announced, "Let us see if you are capable of slaying me—!"
She's a dragon rider!"
"Yeah we see that, Captain obvious!" Zi-O shouted.
This caused the Heroes to be alarmed with Decade saying, "Well then looks like this is your cue now Den-O!"
"OK!" He then called out the Den-Liner as then appeared but before Den-O SF could board it he heard a voice.
"Hey! Momotaros, if someone going to fight her it's me!"
"What the Brat! Don't tell me..." Then from out of nowhere Ryutaros possessed Ryotaro causing him to switch to Gun form. He then boarded the train; whose front part is that of a purple colored dragon head. As soon as he boarded it. he said.
"Mind if I defeat you!? I can't hear your answer!"
He then starts to continually try and shoot Maria down. But Maria's dragon riding skills always dodged the blasts. With her shouting, "Come on, Kamen Rider! You could do better than that!"
"Oh, you really want a challenge Fine! I'll give it to you!" Den-O GF then to throw everything at Maria with everything from gatling guns to rockets. Maria tried dodging it but the amount of ammo that Den-O GF dishes out starts to wear her and her dragon down.
"My how crazy is he?" Artoria and Jeanne asked.
"Well you should have seen him in combat. Heard he can destroy buildings just by shooting with his gun." Diend answered towards them.
"I must say I'm impress." Artoria Alter complimented while smiling.
This caused the two to be really irked at this, as they continue to watch the battle. With Den-O GF then now ready to use his finisher, "Hope you ready, Neechan!" He then scans his pass to his belt.
"What the...?"
FULL CHARGE!
"EAT THIS!" He then points his gun at the dragon and shoots it whilst the Den-Liner's Dragon Head shoots electric beams at Maria. Causing her to fall, as Den-O change his transformation to Sword Form with the other heroes joining him. they saw Maria standing up.
"...I see. That is enough. "
"Martha. Did you—" Jeanne was about to asked.
"Hold back? Of course not." This caused the Heroes to be surprised.
"Are you serious? Are you fine with this?" Geiz asked.
"This is fine, it's fine this way. Seriously, do not make a saint massacre you! ...Listen, let me tell you one last thing. You will never beat the dragon controlled by the Dragon Witch. There is only one way to surpass that type of dragon. Go to Lyon...the city once known as Lyon. It will not be a saint who defeats the dragon, nor a princess. Ever since ancient times, only a "Dragon Slayer" can kill a dragon. Tarasque, I am sorry. ...Next time, I hope I will be summoned properly."
Jeanne sadly said, "...Even Saint Martha can't resist her."
"Yeah you're right." Zi-O agreed.
"I agree too." Ritsuka said.
"She'd undergone Madness Enhancement, in addition to being summoned. Perhaps it cannot be helped. Normally it would be impossible to even talk to her. The only reason we were able to communicate was because of her incredible self-control." Mash explains to the others.
"Yes. She was a peaceful, yet fierce as a person. I could tell. She is the Iron Saint. She is a woman like adamantine, who solves things with her fists in the end." Marie proclaimed.
"They say she defeated the Tarasque with a sermon, but I bet she just beat it up. Anyway, thanks to her, we know where we are going. We should hurry, right? Let us get going to Lyon." Amadeus exclaimed.
"...I'm surprised. Amadeus seemed like, um, the type of person who would hate to travel on foot..." Mash said with a surprised tone.
"Yeah thought he only spend his time on his home." Decade interjected.
"Oh no, Amadeus loves traveling. He's traveled to many places ever since he was a child." Marie answered to the others.
"...Well, I suppose it's true that I'm used to traveling." Amadeus admitted.
"Hehe, I'm getting excited. I wonder what, and who, waits for us in Lyon! Come on, Jeanne, everyone. Let us get going." Marie proclaimed.
"...Right!"
"You got it, your majesty!" The Kamen Riders shouted.
Author's Notes:
Whew, that was really exhausting... I hope you like this chapter honestly, even though Spring Song is now Saturday on the next week. I cannot help but be paranoid because the Pandemic is still ongoing. Oh well I guess I must wait if it is still the exact release date.
See you next time, guys!
