" Salamander!"
" Gachat!"
" Eyyyyyyye!"
" Flame Please!"
The roaring concord of their transformations played out as all four of the Riders soon played out, the group soon stands there while seeing the Phantom Warriors dancing around them with Katanas and Muskets, aiming at the Riders who were ready to rumble while Toc Man soon laughed.
" You loser fleshbags and your stupid armors, all you are gonna get is a beat down!" Toc stood forward while letting the sound of body creek through the area before the sound of approaching foes came from behind.
" I knew we heard something coming from down here!" A bunch of Shocker Combatmen came down along with Grasshopper Yummy, a humanoid grasshopper made to gather up Cell Medals for their masters, the Nasca Dopant made from a Gaia memory that served under the main distributers of the items. And the third leader of the shocker crew was that Tiger bomber Ziden fought back in Kalos.
" Of course its those unruly Dark Youkai army and the rebels, we can take them out in one swift blow!" Tiger Bomber stepped forward as the Nasca Dopant leapt over the group and stood between Ziden, Pac and Ex-aid soon stares as NAsca standing before them, Mascarades soon forming alongside him.
" Hmph, it matters not, the Riders and this resistance must die for Shockerloo to reign unopposed. LEt us go and slay these Riders!" Nasca summons his sword while spinning it in his hand.
" No, we aren't letting this world stay the way it is, where people stay inside and avoid the evils of this world, as long as I bear this armor, no, as long as I fight, Rider or not, I'll never let tyrants like you run things!" Ziden stomped forward and spins his Saber.
" No matter how long it takes, we will give back the people of this world their hope back." Wizard made sure to summon his own blade staring down the shocker goons before him.
" As long as my life burns bright, we will never let monsters like shocker win anything ever again!" Gan Gan Saber was summoned into Ghost's hand.
" Shocker, Shadowloo, we'll take them both down and return everyone's joys right back into their hearts!" Everyone took their stance as Toc Man laughed.
" Such bullcrap! All I care about is punishing Pac Man for his avoidance of my party, you guys can bite it!" And a powerful punch to the ground and everyone was now blasted outside, before everyone got to their feet and runs off to face their foes.
B.A.T.T.L.E.G.A.M.E ( Kamen Rider Girls x Rider Chips)
Wizard wasted no form of town leading his enemies into an old parking lot, Shocker Combatmen soon swarming onto him, quick slices to their bodies to send flying and sparks to rain out. Spinning through the air with grace to slam into their kicks.
Each hit they tried to hit him with, made sure to repel them with his forearms, kicking them away, fire arcing from his body whenever he struck. Tiger Bomber watched his forces literally being punched and kicked away. " Geh! Must I do everything myself!" He swings his arm around before aiming his cannon on his back right at the Rider and firing.
" Wind Please!" A circle of wind forms above him and soon shifted those red gems into pretty green ones as he flies past a horde of Shocker Combatmen with his sword slicing around him and soon slamming down onto the body of the Bomber, causing him to scream from the pain and fall to the ground.
Wind began to coat his blade before sp[inning back around and slicing down many of the Combatmen, his blade causing them to explode from the strikes without much mercy. Soon turning back to the Tiger Bomber and switching on a new ring.
" LEPUTCHI MAGIC TOUCH TO GO!" His hand soon moved down to the glowing magic Circle and soon touches it. " Very nice! Special! The Best!" Wind began to spin around him and carry him into the air, winds spinning around his leg before shooting down like a rocket.
" Not again!" Tiger Bomber caught a powerful kick to the chest and soon being blasted backwards aolong the ground, causing the very floor to break up into a rocky explosion. " HAIL SHOCKERLOO!" A final explosion tore through the air while Haruto lets out a long breath of air.
Ghost was having an easier time with his foes, his blade cutting down and slicing up countless Combatmen and sending them flying with his blades. Soon floating into the air as several; of them were slicing at him, phasing right through him and soon kicking them down as soon as he landed.
" Everyone, lets go!" He soon pulls out a rather large Eyecon and slaps it to his thigh, causing it to overtake his normal driverAnd soon hitting the side of it.
"Zen Kaigan!" A Stunning drum line soon plays out. "Kengō, hakken, kyoshō ni ō-sama, samurai, bōzu ni sniper! Dai~ Hen~ge~!"Overtaking his normal armor was now a golden and black armor with Parka ghosts flying into various slots, legendary heroes soon forming in each slot as he stands before the horde of shocker Goons and the Grasshopper Yummy.
Lights blast off of him again as a red coated ghost and a green coated one appear next to Ghost, whom was now dual wielding his Gan Gan Saber and his Sunglasseslasher. " Musashi! Robin Hood! Lets Go!" And now they made sure to charge together, with Robin hood leaping around and firing arrows into the enemies around them.
Musashi using twinblades to slice and dice through the horde as Takeru was leaping towards the Yummy, a powerful downwards slash caused medals to spray out of him with each strike, following up with wild slashes to overwhelm him.
" Geh!" A powerful cross Slash made sure to send the Yummy fly backwards, medals flying out of him as Takeru soon hits the side of his new driver as the Parka ghosts soon formed into a massive Ghost symbol behind him.
" We will never lose to Shocker! Never again!" And he makes sure to float high into the air with his foot gathering up alot of energy.
" Dai Kaigan! Grateful Omega Drive!" And he made sure to shoot down with those many ghosts flying down to smash down into the Yummy and soon Ghost's foot smashed into his chest, sending him flying into the air.
" Hail Shocker!" He soon explodes into fire and medals that fall down to the earth Ghost fist pumping and bowing before running to go aid the others.
Ziden and Ex Aid made sure to fight back to back as his fiery blade cut down any Dopants and Combatmen that came near him as Toc Man was stomping around, trying to smash Pac-Man but failing greatly at this task, even watching himself get flip kicked by the yellow hero.
" Gah! Why you!?" And Toc punches the ground, smashing it while Pac throws a power pellet and follows after it, soon biting off a large chunk of the metal on Toc. And Ziden soon leaps over the horde of Dopants and soon sliced Toc Man right down the face and sent him reeling backwards.
Ex Aid was using his hammer and striking many of the enemies around him in quick succession, leaping around and making sure each strike hit hard before slapping the sode of the hammer and soon smacking it to form his sword, each slash causing a large hit to form.
" Not so fast, Rider!" Nasca soon dashes right past him, slicing him right across the chest and sending Ex Aid rolling along the ground and soon causing him to pull out a bright red Gashat.
" Not so fast yourself!" He soon slams it down into his driver.
" Gachan! Level Up! Mighty Jump! Mighty Kick! Mighty Mighty Action X! A Gacha! Buttobase! Totsugeki! Gekitotsu Punch! Gekitotsu Robots!" After a robot fist shot out and found itself into the face of NAsca, sending him flying and soon Ex gained red parts was now a good bit stronger.
Soon leaping into the air, he made sure to smash that fist into the chest of Nasca, sending him flying as he soon fires the fist off into the crowd of enemies, causing a massive explosion inside of the park they were fighting in. And soon he turns to the Downed NAsca and soon switches Gekitotsu Robots into another slot and hitting a button.
" KIMIWAZA! GEKITOTSU CRITICAL STRIKE!" And that fist fired out once more, smashing into the chest of Nazca as colorful lights came from the impact and Ex-aid's fist, soon leaping into the air and slamming his hand back into the fist, smashing Nasca into the ground and causing the earth to crack.
" Impossible! Shocker made me! Stronger than you infernal riders!" The fist slammed in deeper before a hellish explosion followed, leaving Ex Aid to watch the aftermath of the battle.
" Geh! I ain't losing! I know what happens if I lose! I get that barrier knocked down and you punks get closer to winning! That is not happening!" And Toc man soon shifts his hand into a Gatling gun, soon firing out oddly large dot bullets which Ziden and Pac made sure to avoid.
" Power pellets? No, these are something else!" PAc made sure to look at the items being fired as they tore up the ground as Ziden was holding up a card, it was finisher time.
" Yeah! These are my Strong Dots! Was gonna use them to blast holes in ya! Now taste it and taste it good!" Toc made sure to fire at them by blasting apart the tree they were at before Ziden leaps high into the air with fire dragons spinning around him.
" CArd Set! Finishing Strike Ready!"And now that foot slammed downwards as Toc focused on him, firing rounds up at him as those dragons slammed down into the foot of Ziden, who was now shooting down like a missile.
" Blazing Dragon Impact!" And now his foot slammed into the top of Toc Man's head, causing fire to erupt and explode outwards from the attack as Pac Man was holding up his hand into the air and soon summoned a golden axe and soon launches it right towards Toc man and hitting him right in the belly, tearing into the metals as the ground exploded beneath him.
" No! No! My birthday is not...ending like this!"Toc man made sure to try to reach up and grab Ziden, only for him to shoot right through his body and tear up the ground and skids along it, Toc Man having a massive hole through his body and causing endless sparks to come from it, a massive red light soon coming from his body before he violently exploded, Ziden feeling the air shake and the red light shooting into the heavens.
" We did it, that was, easy. Felt really pumped up for that battle." Ziden said while seeing the other riders coming up to him and detransforming.
" Yeah, we won because we as Riders would never let a monster run free like that after taking so many lives for something so sad. We had to win." Emu looks over at Pac Man who was looking at the destroyed Remains of Toc man before coming over.
" I can't say that I remember the heck i did but I know I can never repay what Toc Man did, so, I'm gonna join you and help you save this world!" Pac Man made his intentions clear to rejoin the party
" Ziden! Head back to the house Yukari says she needs to get you guys back to base asap." Romani's voice came through urgently, seems they needed to get right to work it seems, never a break for Rebels.
Back at the house...
Yukari was rubbing her temples as Ziden witnessed Demon hunters from Japan moving into the home as they were leaving it. " No worries, we will be remaining in Seito and making sure that this place remains Shockerloo free, we will aid these people in freeing themselves. Something..big is going on in Ueno." The male hunter explained as Yukari had opened a Gap for everyone to leap through, finding them back in Ginza, seeing one hell of a mess in the entryway. A battle broke out.
" Holy." And it was utterly one sided, Shadowloo goons seem to have broken in and were literally devastated by two people, Yuugi and Yuuka who made sure that no one could pass, the sheer amount of broken bodies and corpses being carried away by Youkai to their housing section down into the Jewelry store section of Ginza, they still needed food after all.
" H-help me..." One of the Shadowloo agents was calling out as a rough looking Bat youkai slashed across his face and made sure to fly down into its home above.
" Almost feel bad for em. But they caused this hell, now they gotta feel the negatives." Ziden said while looking at Emu looking away from the carnage and heading into the main base. Ziden made sure to follow as he sees Haruto going to grab him some donuts from the donut shop.
Once he got into the base, he saw the Straw hats in the briefing room with Eirin, KAguya, Mokou, Kanako and Yukari standing before a screen.
" The Strawhats? What are you guys doing here?" Ziden asked while Nami simply shrugged.
" We were called into here because apparently something zombie related and we have experience." Nami said with a smile.
" Yeah, we fought through a whole island of zombies! So of course we came to help!" Luffy gave a wide grin before ziden smirked.
" Zombies huh, pirates vs Zombies. Now that is a movie I could take a good gander at." Ziden said while Eirin coughs before turning on the tv.
" Since you guys are fine with zombies, you should be able to handl-" And there was a loud noise, Ziden's eyes looked over at Usopp who saw what was on the screen and Nami found herself losing her lunch right onto the floor, falling into a gap.
Even the stronger stomached members of the crew saw what was on the screen were caught off guard by the horrors on the screen.
Bodies adorning the streets, blood staining the very buildings and the endless fires that burned in the streets, the scene itself was something even Chaldea had a hard time seeing.
"...It looks like utter hell, the hell happened?" Ziden asked as Nami looked at him shocked.
" W-what happened? How are you not bothered by this!? This is, nothing like Thriller Bark! What is this!?" Nami asked as even Luffy looked perturbed by this.
" This is what happens when a virus tears through a city." Eirin answered while she was letting the drone oversee every single part of the city. "From what I have overseen of what Akyuu has written down of our past adventure, this is the work of the enemy that you faced in the Dream world."
" Great, in this singularity, the Nightmare of America's past has come to be once more huh?" Ziden said while sighing. " I'm not bothered by this is because I've been in similar situations, seems the zombies you faced were the lite, non virus driven ones."
" Y-yeah, they certainly didn't kill people wholesale like this. This is...hell itself." Zoro seemed a bit bothered by this entirely.
" There's no risk of this virus thing coming here right!? We're not all gonna get eaten like cattle are we!?" And Usopp was tugging on Ziden;'s clothes before he flicks him away.
" No, it doesn't seem so, Bison seems to have Quarantined the entire area down with a magic barrier. But I am curious, America's past? Did something happen on your world?" Romani asked as Wodame and Kodac sat there in the room, listening to the story
" Raccoon City. The first time this world knew of the real life world of Zombies. a viral outbreak caused by Umbrella that eventually caused the deaths of over 100,000 innocent lives. Many lost from the zombies and the BOWs during said event, many others died from the bombing that followed." Ziden explained while crossing his arms. " The government tried their hardest to cover it up."
" Ah? The Government tried to cover this up?" Law himself spoke up while tapping his fingers on the desk.
" I can see why, such a thing happening would cause a massive panic knowing that such monsters lived so close within their homeland." Robin added while looking down at the table.
" Indeed, and if it is the same virus, no doubt Wesker is behind it. One of the Scions of Oscura and the one of the original causers of the event." Ziden said while Kanako spoke up.
" Indeed, and we want you to go in and find out not only if its him but rescue anyone not infected, especially searching for Aya and Hatate." Ziden felt his heart drop when he heard Aya was in this hell, he knew not if Youkai could be affected by this virus but god knows he is not gonna wait and see.
" And we all know of this thanks to Aya herself." Nitori soon uncloaks in the room, scaring alot of the people present. " She contacted us letting us know that the place she is in is currently gated off and safe. But we need to get her and those survivors out."
"...So what's the plan?" Law asked while softly gazing at Kanako.
" With this kind of nightmare, normally, a big group would be best but with how this virus is, sadly this will have to be a one man job. I do not want to risk anyone being infected." Kanako explained while the duo of Usopp and Nami sighed out in relief.
" Ziden, we're sending you in there and we're gonna be monitoring you the best we can." Yukari said while motioning for him to transform.
" Henshin!" Ziden does slap on his driver and transform, seeing the glowing eyes of Luffy, Chopper and Franky.
"SUPPPPPEER! Man! It feels so different getting to see it up close!" Franky makes sure to watch as Kanako came and gently taps his driver, magic soon shooting through him and causing him to stumble backwards before a loud locking sound could be heard.
" I've locked your armor, even though you are immune to forced transformations, we don;t want the risk of the virus being able to hide in you by some weird chance. Even if you are knocked unconscious, the armor will not bend or break or even fade. It will burn off once you are out of the zone." Kanako explains while he looks at himself.
" Got it, Nitori does some good work." Ziden said while punching his hand into his fist.
" Be careful, we can only drop you near the dead edge of the inner quarantine zone, and if you can, slice up as many undead as you can, that lock comes with sending me back secure samples of this so I can find a cure." Ziden nods at this while looking at the coins in his driver.
" You can change forms on the fly, and the spirits are mostly gonna be letting you have free reign right now, they will offer advice from time to time. Switch to whatever forms you think will be the most helpful when, all have the same amount of defense, even the wind form. So any teeth cannot get you but it will hurt." Nitori explains while wiping her brow. " Also you know I do some good damn work."
" Ow! Remind me to work with her again, damn lady is a genius. Might need to have her help with some upgrades to the Sunny after this is over." Franky said while giving her a thumbs up.
Kaguya herself hadn't much to say in this situation, only looking at the screen with a sigh. What a pain this was. She wanted to fight zombies too. The Elixir would protect her after all but Eirin said no, maybe sometime in the future
Ziden made sure to head out of the room and soon saw Eirin coming to him. " Hmm?"
" There is something I have to tell you, I am sure you are aware of the raid earlier, seems some trigger happy people got into here from Biuson's forces. That of which you know, what you do not know is that he has our War Room magically bugged." Ziden feels his eyes widen nder his helm, soon looking at her. " Relax, we can counter the spell and have been for the longest time. Its why Alice was killed, they wanted to take out our known mages."
" Then, why are you tellin-"
" We lowered it so they would hear exactly that, Bison knows you will be going in and saving people. Dictator he may be, he will not stop us from saving people. And he did. According to the news, he is sending in trained soldiers to evac non infecteds out. Just get in there, if you encounter those soliders, work with them and help them if needed. Just be sure, if someone is infected with a bite..."
" Take them out, no exceptions, I know." Ziden said while hearing the Strawhat's murmurs as he heads off.
Chaldea watched him and even monitored his vitals during this. Mash herself remained in her room on standby, despite wanting to go but knowing full well of the dangers. Patchouli stood at the edge of the hallway, floating and waiting.
" About time, you ready to head out?" Patchouli asked, turning around and soon moving her hands around in a circle, soon seeing a large golden ring forming in the wall.
" Whoa, when could you-"
" When I went to see this Supposed Sorcerer Supreme, surprised he could actually back up what his title upholds. A title I plan on taking for myself someday. This will put you on the dead edge of the infected Zone, literally behind the blockade." And the portal soon opened to show the street he was stepping out in, bright and sunny but smoke flowing into the air and the blood staining the streets say otherwise about this serene sight.
" Right, stay safe regardless." Ziden said while walking past her and into the portal, her blank face staring at him before the portal closes behind him.
" Honestly, should be telling you that, Lunk head." Patchouli said before floating off down the hallway.
Elsewhere...
In this destroyed city with nary many survivors, stood Wesker upon a tree, overseeing the damage he caused through an Ipad he was carrying. " Brilliant, these BOWs after even better than the ones I made prior to my death, the darkness makes them supernaturally powerful, once I am done here, a true nightmare will hit this world. After Bison fails of course."
They may be allies, but they were sure not friends, but a chill went down Wesker's spine as he quickly whips out his trademark pistol and aims at the darkness of the park, seeing what was once golden eyes soon leaving the area.
"...What in the world was that? No matter, it shall be dealt with shortly." Wesker goes back to his Ipad before vanishing into the darkness, with three notable events happening under his notice.
1 was the zombies near where the golden eyes were had been leaking an odd amount of smoke from them and once the being left, the bodies lost the smoke and soon fell apart into dust.
Another was a rabbit going near a mysterious yellow and red carnation which seemed like a normal plant, up until a massive mouth appeared from it and it soon devoured the rabbit, bones in all with a single bite.
The final, most interesting event, was the mysterious sludge that seemed moving along the ground and into the sewers, as if being a living breathing creature. Waiting for its chance to shine or slime.
Trivia:
1 Toc Man comes from Pac man World but got a revamped origin here because ya know, this Pac is kinda from the cartoon which had some weird, edgy moments.
2. The Raccoon City Incident was a massively world wide covered event that people will never forget because of the horrors seen on that day.
3. Reminder that Patchouli was in New York during and between the events of Ultima Brigade war and Kalos Invasion.
