First off, many thanks to those who reviewed this fic, I really appreciated it and this gave me inspiration to work on the next chapter and here the current story arc picks up where the last chapter left, in which the Layton family are in a midst of a family reunion when something unexpected happened, while Luke and Flora are embroiled in a situation of their own, where they will get a shock value later on.

Well, read on and enjoy!

At the coffee shop, the Layton family members are enjoying their time as they were served coffee, and talked about how things are doing ever since the United Kingdom became peaceful once more as both North Ireland and Scotland rejoined, and with the Sky Wall gone, life is back to normal, and Layton asked Kibo what are his plans now since the real enemy is gone, and life has returned to normal.

Kibo smiled and said that he will look after the coffee shop while continuing his research in privacy to maintain his cover and said that is all he can do for now.

"...and that is how I would do from this point on, Mr. Layton...

"I see."

"Everything is back to normal. The British government is now corrupt-free...no more Smashes...Masaru's name is finally cleared. All of England and the rest of the United Kingdom is peaceful again."

"That's right."

"And you should enjoy life as well. You are back, and reunited with your family."

"You're right about that. Good to see that you found something pisitive in your life."

"Yeah, you could say that."

"Ha-ha..."

Katrielle glanced at her watch and notes that both Luke and Flora are late, but Layton assured to his daughter that both Luke and Flora will arrive, and tells her not to be worried as peace has been restored in London and all over the United Kingdom.

"Don't worry, Katrielle."

"Eh?"

"Luke and Flora will arrive."

"Really, dad?"

"Yes. Everything is at peace, so there is nothing for you to worry."

"I see."

"Let's enjoy for now."

"Okay."

However, Masaru blinked his eyes as he could hear screams from outside, and wondered if there is something going on, in which he asked Kibo if he should check it out, and soon the others began to note the screams are getting louder, as well as sounds of gunshots and even the sound of tanks firing.

By then a London policeman came and barges in, and told Layton that something weird is happening, and when Layton asked what it is, the policeman said that Nazi soldiers from Germany appeared suddenly along with tanks and airplanes that resembled the ones from World War II, which caused Alfrendi and Katrielle to stand up in disbelief, and they asked the policeman if he is sure about what he said.

"Say what?"

"Tanks from World War II?"

"Yes...positive."

"This can't be!"

"Are you sure you are not seeing things?"

"It's true! Honest!"

"..."

"..."

As Masaru is about to close the door, he took a peek and stared in disbelief and discreetly closes the door, and tells Kibo that he saw Nazi soldiers are running around, shooting any person that came in their way, be it men and women, adults and children.

Kibo stared in surprise as he opens the TV where a newsflash showed that tanks, soldiers and even airplanes are seen, all resembling the ones from world War II, and saw that the soldiers attacking are from Germany, and that their uniforms are the same as the ones used in Germany circa 1942, confirming the policeman's claims.

"It's true then..."

"What the...?"

"Those uniforms..."

"No doubt about it. They're wearing aunthentic Nazi uniforms."

"In the 21st century?"

"This even defies my logic."

"Dad..."

"Dad..."

Kibo then tells Masaru to have the Layton family move inside the secret basement lab, then join him in fending off the invaders. Masaru was flabbergasted at seeing the live footage, reasoning that this is already the 21st century, thus Nazi and the WW II stuff are outdated several decades ago, but Kibo said that something is amiss and tells him to have the Layton family safely secured to prevent harm coming to them.

He then told Masaru that they may have to get rough given that the Nazi soldiers are just like before: bloodthirsty attackers that shoot and kill anyone on sight, which Masaru nodded.

"Masaru."

"Yeah."

"Get ready."

"Yeah."

"I don't want to say this…but we might have to get rough…that means…"

"Kill them if needed. Yeah, no problem. I mean…those soldiers from the 1940's are cold-blooded. We'll just consider them Smashes and stuff."

"Good to hear. If they really are Nazi soldiers, then we have to go all-out."

"Got it."

Kibo then went outside and onto the streets where he saw the British army and the police fighting off the Nazi soldiers and it appears that the British law enforcers were slowly being overwhelmed, and Kibo decided to enter the fray and provide assistance.

Kibo then brought out what appeared to be a device that is the size of a belt buckle, where it resembled a belt buckle-looking item that has a mixer-like lever, and as Kibo places the device in front of his waist, a metallic belt strap appeared and fastens around, forming a belt, and then brought out two thumb-sized bottles, one colored red and the other colored blue, which the two items are identified as FULL BOTTLES, and began shaking them up and down and said that the experiment will now commence.

After shaking the two bottles, he twists the caps of the bottles and inserts them onto the center portion of the belt, identified as the Mix Driver, and began to spin the lever like a mixer, where a voice emanating from the belt spoke which confirms the activation of the belt's command.

Mix Driver: "RABBIT…TANK…BEST MATCH! ARE YOU READY? HAGANE NO MUNSOLTO! RABBIT-TANK! YAY!"

The Nazi soldiers stared in surprise as a projection materialized in front and behind Kibo, as the projections, resembling construction wires seen on making a building appeared and SLAMMED Kibo, encasing him in an armor.

Kibo's armored appearance appeared to be asymmetrical, as the armor has two contrasting colors, red and blue, and they appeared to spread all over its armored body, and what's more, his helmet's lens appeared to be compound-shaped, giving the appearance of INSECT EYES, and the antenna-like objects on the helmet resembled RABBIT EARS.

Then the scene shows that the armored entrant is wearing a strange belt, in which the buckle appeared to be a storage for two thumb-sized bottles, and the right side of the buckle has a mixing lever.

Then his right leg and foot has a mix of colors black and blue, where the foot shows to have tire threads of a TANK, while his left leg and foot has a mix of colors black and red, where the foot shows to have the appearance of a rabbit's hind foot.

There the armored entrant, identified as Kamen Rider Build, confronts the Nazi soldiers, telling them to stop their attacks and leave England, but the soldiers rebuked him in German language showing that they are not afraid and do not care about what others think.

"Look at that…"

"What is that?"

"Must be some fool from the Allied Forces…"

"I say this guy must be British…I mean we're here in England."

"Then lets waste this English idiot."

"The Fuhrer will be pleased if we bring back his head and that strange thing."

"For Hitler!"

"Hail Hitler!"

Ch. 4: Kaosu ga hajimaru

Elsewhere, Ken stopped briefly as he sensed that something was amiss, but then he was baffled upon realized that he is being left behind, and as he called for Luke and Flora, he turned around and is surprised to see that the mysterious person vanished in thin air. By then Luke and Flora turn around seeing that Ken was left behind so they called out for him saying that they need to get going.

"Hey, Ken!"

"Come on!"

"We're going to be late!"

"Hurry up!"

"The professor is waiting for us!"

"We'll miss the food!"

"Yeah, and the professor would like to have a chat with you!"

"So hurry up!"

As Ken joined the two, the trio were taken by surprise when a huge hovercraft-like ship, colored red, suddenly appeared, where a voice emanated from the ship's speaker, and the pilot's tone was that of someone reeking of vendetta, and is aimed for Ken Ichijouji!

"I found you, you devil!"

Luke and Flora were surprised to see this and they asked Ken if he knows about that red ship, which an equally-baffled ken deny any of this.

"Luke...did you...?

"I heard it, Flora. Ken..."

"What?"

"Are you familiar with..."

"Don't look at me! I never seen that thing before!"

"Eh?"

"Seriously?"

"Honest!"

"Luke...Ken...the ship it's...!"

Suddenly the ship began to transform, assuming a humanoid mecha-like form and began a punching attack, which Luke, instinctively grabbed Ken and pulled him away, which narrowly saved his life. As Luke and Flora helped Ken up, the pilot inside the mecha told Luke and Flora to move away from Ken, claiming that this is for their own safety.

However, Luke and Flora blinked their eyes as they were able to discern the voice emanating inside the mecha, and they felt that they recognized the voice of the pilot, but were unsure at this point to make a correct assumption.

"Luke...did you hear that...?"

"Yeah, I did."

"It sounds familiar..."

"Can't be too sure...we need to see the pilot's face before making an assumption, Flora."

"But...why is it after Ken?"

"Not sure...but we should get away and outwit that thing."

"Seriously, Luke?"

"Yes."

Looking around, Luke saw a parked motorcycle and motions Flora and Ken to follow him and told them to hop on, which Ken asked if they really need to do this, which Luke said yes, as they need to outrun the attacker.

Ken appeared hesitant but was persuaded to do so as Luke pointed out that the attacker appeared intent to kill him.

"We have no choice, Ken!"

"But..."

"That thing is after you!"

"I know, but...!"

"You want to die?

"…"

"Then hop on!"

"…"

Using a pick, Luke was able to start the motorcycle and out of desperation, Flora and Ken boarded and the trio sped off, and the ship began to chase them, and spoke via the speaker to abandon Ken, saying that he must be killed in order to prevent him from becoming the DEVIL KING.

"You two! For your sake and for the sake of the future…discard that guy! He must die in order for him not to awaken as the DEVIL KING!"

As Luke maneuvers the motorcycle, Flora became worried at what is going on, whilst Ken wondered what the flying object wants and why is it targeting him, as he knew he did not do anything, but then recalled what the mysterious stranger told him moments ago, and sensed that this must be the scenario the stranger is talking about.

On the other hand, Flora tells Luke to try outwitting the attacker, which Luke said that he is trying.

Luke!""

"Yeah?"

"Do something!"

"I am!"

"That thing is still chasing us!"

"I know!"

"Hurry!"

"I'm trying!"

Luke then went towards the tunnel and hid there, as the mysterious flying vehicle went over the tunnel, assuming that its target went ahead, and by then Luke left the route they entered, till another mysterious flying vehicle showed up, where the door opened and Luke, Flora and Ken stared wide-eyed at seeing who greeted them.

It was a teenage girl who resembled Flora Reinhold, but is dressed in white dress and her hair was untidy, and there she told the three teens to hop in while there is still time. Though unsure, the three teens nevertheless accepted and they boarded the flying vehicle, where the teen girl who is flying the vehicle, tapped into the keyboards and the screen showed that they are heading many years into the past.

Luke then realized that the display monitor shows that they are heading towards the year where the dinosaurs ruled the Earth, and asked the teen girl why taking them there, and the teen girl, who introduces herself as Aroma, said that this is for Ken's safety.

"Excuse me, miss…"

"Yes?"

"Who are you?"

"My name is Aroma."

"We're are we going?"

"Anywhere within the timeline…just to evade your attacker."

"But…in the age of dinosaurs?"

"If necessary."

Flora and Ken blinked their eyes at hearing this, and soon they arrived at the age of dinosaurs, where Aroma told them that they are riding inside the Time Majin, which is actually a ship, a time machine that can travel through time, and can change into a mecha form.

After that, Aroma toggled the controls where they went forward through time and arrived at the age where Arthur Pendragon became king of England. After landing at a deserted land, Aroma explained to the trio why Ken was targeted, and showed them a footage where she and the one that is attacking Ken, were from the year 2068, stating that in 50 years from Ken's present time, he would become an overlord who can control time and space, becoming what is feared as Oma Zi-O.

Luke and Flora watches on as ken approached Aroma and asked what she meant, as the word Oma is Japanese of "Demon King", which Aroma nodded to confirm his queries.

"Oma…what?"

"Oma Zi-O."

"Which is…?"

"Oma is Japanese for demon king."

"Huh? So this guy you're saying…?"

"…is he from Japan?"

"Yes."

"…"

As they all got off the Time Majin, Aroma explained that to avert the rise of Oma Zi-O, her comrade suggested traveling 50 years to the past and kill his young self to prevent it from happening, but Aroma stated that she felt it is unnecessary and tried to persuade him to at least see if telling the present-day Ken about what he is going to become would change it.

Luke then approached Aroma, as he is quite astounded to see that she resembled Flora and asked what has the world become, which she said that it has become a dystopian, post-apocalyptic world.

Suddenly, the flying vehicle that chased Luke and the others appeared, which turn out to be another Time Majin, and upon landing the door, opened, where Luke stared wide-eyed in surprise, seeing that the pilot is somewhat identical to Clive, and he called out Clyde's name, and the teen pilot nodded and spoke, telling Luke that he seemed to have known his grandfather, which surprised Luke.

"Clive? Is that you?"

"I see…"

"Huh?"

"So you met my paternal grandfather."

"Grandfather?"

"Clive is my grandfather…he raised me…but died protecting me."

"Who are you?"

"…"

The teen pilot who is identical to Clyde, introduced himself as Claus, saying that he is Clyde's grandson and is ¼ German and Japanese, and he is here to slay Ken Ichijouji to prevent the rise of Oma Zi-O, and brought out a strange belt that has two circles on each side, and fasten it around his waist, then brought out what appeared to be a palm-sized wristwatch and inserted it on the right slot of the belt and spins it in a counter-clockwise motion to initiate the transformation.

Belt: "RIDER TIME! KAMEN RIDER~EEEERRR…GEIZ…"

Geiz is covered in red and black armor that has a military feel, while the eye-lens of his helmet resembled that of a butterfly, and there Geiz approached Ken and grabbed him by his collar, telling him that his reign of evil will end here.

"Nothing personal…"

"Huh?"

"But I must kill you."

"What?"

"If that is done, then the timeline will change…"

"What are you…?"

"Once you're dead, the disaster will be averted."

"Eh?"

To Be Continued... .

Hope you like this chapter, as the story finally kicks in as a pair of teenagers from the future came to the present time to change the future, by confronting Ken. The two teens resembled, if not looked identical, to Luke and Flora, and now conflict arises as Ken is about to be murdered.

Layton and his family are currently having problems of their own as a strange anomaly took place, as Nazi soldiers, tanks, and even airplanes, appeared out of nowhere, and the Nazi attackers are the same ones from World War II, meaning that they are from the timeline of 1940s.

Two new characters appeared, one is a teenage girl who is identical to Flora. The name Aroma is the Japanese name for Flora when the Professor Layton games were released in Japan. To avoid confusion, I had Flora and Aroma exist in this fic as separate persons.

The other is identical to Clive in the Professor Layton game, but he is portrayed as a teenage grandson to Clive, and gave him the name of Claus. since this character is said to be identical of Clive, it fits.

Now Ken is in danger of being killed because of being told that he is the catalyst of becoming the DEMON KING in 50 years into the future. Will Ken be saved?

Preview:

As Layton as his family deal with the disturbance in downtown London, Luke and Flora attempt to diffuse the situation in front of them, and it remains to be seen if they can save ken or not…

See you in June or July…

Reviews are needed…
