I don't own Kamen Rider Kiva and Shinmai Maou no Testament, those belong to their creators. I'm doing this for fun not profit.

The Testament of Kiva

Testament 12: The Treasure Sniper, Diend

After the other Kamen Riders were still left surprised by Diend's transformation he soon walks towards them, and then fired upon Rey which he manage to block in time using his gauntlets.

"Why you…!" Rey growls in anger before he brought out his communication device. "Let's see how you'll handle this!"

Rey pressed a button on his device which soon summons two Dimensional Walls and coming out of those Walls were a group of Rio-Troopers and Kurokage Troopers.

"Attack!" Rey ordered the Troopers and they soon charged at Diend, Decade, and Kiva.

"Hey wait…!" Decade said before one of the Kurokage Troopers thrust his spear which he manage to dodge in time before he kicks that Trooper away and Kiva and Diend dodges a few of the other Troopers attacks before they soon entered combat against the Troopers.

"Not sure what's going on here, but looks like we have to figure this out later." Decade said as he engaged combat against the Troopers.

"Now with those three busy I need to report this to the master." Rey said before he leaves the area through a Dimensional Wall before it disappeared.

Decade changes his Ride Booker to its sword mode before two Rio-Troopers slashed at him and he manage to parry their attacks and slashed on their chests and lands another slashed on both of them sending them both to the ground.

Decade saw then notice the damaged state the Rio-Troopers were in and saw the circuitry that were in their bodies as sparkes come out of them.

"Robots?" Decade said before he realized the other Troopers must be machines as well before he turns to Kiva and Diend. "Basara! New guy! The troopers they're not real they're machines!"

Kiva heard him as he grabs onto one Kurokage Trooper's spear.

"That means we don't have to hold back!" Kiva shouted before he pulls the spear out of the Kurokage Trooper's hands and soon thrust the spear through its body and Kiva then kicks the Trooper on the head sending the robot Rider to the ground.

Kiva then saw two Rio-Troopers slashing at him and he manage to dodge their attacks in time and counters by punching them followed with a reverse spin kick then sends them to the ground.

Kiva then saw a few Kurokage and Rio Troopers surrounded him, and Kiva then brought out his Dogga Fuestle and inserted it into Kiva.

"DOGGA HAMMER!"

Kiva soon transformed into his Dogga Form armed with his Hammer, and soon both groups of Troopers charges at him to attack and Kiva counters by swinging his Hammer around sending them to the ground before they exploded.

Diend parries one Kurokage Trooper's spear thrust with a kick and shoots at that Trooper making it stumble back, and he soon fires at two Rio-Troopers that was charging at him.

"You're not the only one who can play that game." Diend said before he brought out a Rider Card and soon inserted into his Driver before he pushed it forward which scans the Card.

KAMEN RIDE: ACCEL

This gotten Decade's attention as he turned to Diend as he pointed his gun and pulled the trigger which soon summons three holographic figures moving around before they merged together to become Kamen Rider Accel.

"Huh? So he has a upgrade too?" Decade wonders out loud before he slashed on one Kurokage Trooper was coming at him from his back.

"Now, let's shake it off!" Accel declared as he brought out his sword and slashed at three Kurokage Troopers that was charging at both him and Diend.

Diend then saw several Rio-Troopers aiming their guns at him to shoot, and Diend soon brought out an Attack Card and soon inserted into his Driver.

ATTACK RIDE: BARRIER

The Rio-Troopers then fired upon Diend before a barrier appears around him to block their shots and Diend soon brought out another Attack Ride Card and inserted into his Driver.

ATTACK RIDE: BLAST

Diend then fires upon the Rio-Troopers with enhanced gun shots with his Driver which soon destroyed the Troopers that was in front of him.

Accel slashed against the Troopers that was attacking at him as he dodges and parried their attacks before he lands on a reverse kick on one Kurokage Trooper which he manage to block with his spear but that didn't stop Accel as the wheel on his heel spins rapidly which manage to break through the Trooper's spear and lands a kick on its chest sending the Trooper to the ground.

"Time to finished this!" Accel said as he pulled the clutch lever on his Driver.

ACCEL: MAXIMUM DRIVE

Accel jumps in the air and lands his signature kick attack at the remaining Troopers that was in front of him destroying them as they exploded.

"Despair is your goal." Accel said before he disappears.

Decade punches one Trooper away and slashed on another one that was coming up behind him, he then brought out and inserted his Slash Card into his Driver.

ATTACK RIDE: SLASH

Decade then slashed through the remaining Troopers that he was facing them destroying them one at a time.

Kiva then brought his Hammer at Kivat as he bites on it.

"DOGGA BITE!"

Kiva then raised his Hammer up and swings his finishing move at the remaining Troopers that was in front of him destroying them.

Diend kicks one Trooper at another group of the remaining and last of the Troopers.

Diend then brought out his Final Attack Card and soon inserted it into his Driver.

FINAL ATTACK RIDE: D-D-DIEND

Diend then pointed his Driver/gun at the Troopers before several holographic cards appeared in front between him and the Troopers, flying in the form of several circles with each row being bigger than the last and the rows of Cards were moving in a circular motion.

Diend then pulled the Trigger of his gun which fired a beam of energy at that had absorbed the rows of Holographic Cards which enlarge and enhanced the beam of energy, and soon his attack hits the Troopers destroying them.

After the battle was now over, Decade looks around and saw the Rey was now gone.

"Damn...he got away." Decade said before he and Kiva turns at Diend before they walk at him. "Alright buddy, now about you explained yourself by…"

Before he could finished Diend fired in front of his and Kiva's feet which made them stop walking at him.

"Don't get the wrong idea...I didn't come here to help you. I only did this to make sure that guy or his boss won't get in my way." Diend said.

"What? What do you mean by that?" Decade asked.

Diend didn't answer as he brought out an Attack Ride Card and inserted into his Driver.

ATTACK RIDE: INVISIBLE

Diend soon disappears in front of them as he turned invisible.

"Hey wait!" Decade called as he run to where Diend was but only to find that he was now gone as he and Kiva looks around for him but still found nothing.

"Just who was that guy?" Kiva asked as he changed back into Basara and Decade changes back into Alex.

"Good question there." Alex said while wondering why Diend is here and wonders who he really was.

(Cue Break the Chain)

(Instrumental) As the song was playing, in the main room of Castle Doran Mio was sleeping on white bed wearing red dress while rose petals fall on her, then changes to Kiva walking through the hallways of Castle Doran. Then the scene changes Kiva picking up Mio in bridal carry. The tone changes then Kiva turns face to face at the screen. Then Kiva was flying upside down with his right leg armor open.

(Baku Baku beatin' heart! Kattobashite killin' it now!) Kiva on his motorcycle begins driving it fast on the street.

(Baki Baki beatin' heart! Kimi koso one and only) Then changes to Kiva sitting on throne in Castle Doran, The Arm Monsters in their human forms and Mio, Maria, and Yuki walking towards him. Changes back to Kiva flying upside down again.

(Kimi ga sekai ni sonzai shiteru, imi wo shiritakunai? {Baku baku beatin' heart!}) Maria and Yuki were in the kitchen papering for dinner, while Basara and Mio were setting the table, Kivat is seen flying in the screen singing.

(Baki Baki beatin' heart!) Basara, Mio, and Yuki are seated in their classroom, then changes Yahiro eating with Basara on the roof, while in that time eight Kivat's were singing on the top and bottom of the screen.

{Instrumental} (Soko ni kakurete temo! Nani mo hajimannai) Mio then remembers Zolgear killing her parents, and then changes to Basara with chains crawling under his skin, and then changes to Lars, Zest, Valga, and Zolgear together on a stair case. The scene changes to Basara as the chains speared out of him and restraining him.

(Tozasareteta DOA wo sono de kowase) Kiva was walking in a dark room, and then Kiva watches shattered stain glass was reforming making a window that shines on him beneath him is the shadow of the mirror. Then change back to Basara freeing himself from the chains.

(Me ni mienu fuan wo kazote tomaranaide) Basara held Kivat on his hand and let him bite him and then inserts him into his belt, and then changes into Kiva.

(Unmei no RUURU yabutteku) A child Basara was on his knees in a carter as was Brynhildr stab on the ground next to him.

(Me ni mienai tsunagari shinite ugoki dasou) Kiva on the throne of Castle Doran and near it is the Arm Monsters in human form, and then showed Mio hugging on the back of his neck, Yuki was hugging him on his arm, and Maria hugging on his leg.

(Don't be afraid! Walk in the stage, just GO! {Instrumental}) Kivat was flying near Kiva's raised right leg and the armor opens and freed the red wings. Kiva was now showed on top of Castle Doran and then jumps high in the air.

(Baku Baku Beatin' heart! Kimi koso one and only) Kivat fly's through the screen followed by Kiva doing his signature attack. Then changes into title of the story with Kiva's symbol.

After the battle Basara, Alex, and Yui returned to Castle Doran to report back to their friends on what happened and also to check on Mio.

"I see that is indeed surprising to hear." Jiro said.

"Anyway how's Mio?" Basara asked as he turned to his step sister and saw that she was still sleeping which made Jiro sigh.

"There's still no response or any sign of her waking up. Whatever spell that woman cast on her is a strong one indeed." Jiro told him.

"I see…" Basara said while still being worried about her before Ryu petted on his shoulder.

"Don't worry, Basara I'm sure Mio-chan will wake up in no time." Ryu assured him before he turns to Alex. "But is it really true that you met another Rider?"

"Yeah," Alex nodded. "And it's not just any Rider either that guy is Diend."

"Also I've been meaning to ask. You sound like you met this guy before." Basara stated.

"Yeah I did." Alex said before he remembered seeing him in W's world several times but only in the battle against the Crisis Fortress is where they actually met and talk. "We met a couple of times in the last world we were in, he said that his name is Seth."

"What about his Driver though? How did he get and how does it work?" Yui asked.

"Well how he got it I'm not sure. But I can tell you how it works." Alex said before he brought out a pair of glasses and puts them on.

Basara, Yuki, Maria, Yui, and Ryu were now seated on the floor as Alex stands in front of them with a chalkboard behind him that had a sketch of his Decadriver and the Diendriver.

"You see both my Decadriver and the Diendriver are very similar and yet different in the same time. Now can someone tell me what those similarities and differences are?" Alex asked and Basara raised his hand. "Yes Basara-kun?"

"Well the only similarity that they have is that they both use Cards for you and that Diend guy to let you use their powers." Basara said.

"Yes that's the one similarity that they both have in common. But what is the main difference between the two?" Alex asked and Ryu raised his hand. "Yes Ryu-kun?"

"Well I hadn't seen it myself, but Basara mention that he was able to summon another Kamen Rider. Is that the main difference?" Ryu asked.

"Exactly!" Alex said before he pointed at the sketch of his Decadriver. "You see while my Decadriver allows to transformed into any Kamen Riders, allowing me to use their powers, weapons, forms, and fighting styles, the Diendriver let's user to summon and control almost every Kamen Rider in existence having the user fight alongside him or her, regardless if they're good or evil Kamen Riders."

"Really? That's pretty amazing." Maria said.

"Maybe but I don't think we should trust this Diend." Yuki stated.

"Why would you say Yuki?" Basara asked. "I mean he did help me and Alex."

"No I have to agree with Yuki in this point." Alex said as he took off his glasses. "We can't be sure if he's a friend or a foe, and besides he made it very clear that he didn't help us in the goodness of his heart."

"Okay but even so...that still doesn't explained why he's here, or why that he help you in the first place." Ryu said.

"That's a good question indeed." Alex said.

(Meanwhile)

After Rey had retreated from his battle against the Kamen Riders, he'd contacted Dark Decade saying they should meet and that he has a report to give.

They meet in an dark alleyway and Rey told him about his battle against the Kamen Riders and that he had to retreat and Dark Decade was not please by that.

"You did what?!" Dark Decade exclaimed in anger as punches Rey sending him to a nearby wall. "So not only did you fail to eliminate both Kiva and Decade, you run like a coward with your tail between your legs?!"

"Master please...just let me…!" Rey started before Dark Decade grabs him on the neck and picks him up.

"Give me a reason why I should even give you a second chance…?" Dark Decade demanded as he tightens his hold on Rey's neck which it hard for him to breathe as he struggles to even speak.

"B-Because I...I have more information...for you...it's about D-Diend…!" Rey told him, which gotten Dark Decade's attention as he slightly calms down as he lowered Rey to the ground.

"What do you mean by that?" Dark Decade asked.

"I fight against him, he'd help Kiva and Decade...He's here in this world I swear on my life it's the truth…!" Rey assured him.

Dark Decade ponders about this new information before he let's go of Rey, who had fallen to his hands and knees as he started coughing a few times as he mended his sore neck.

"I believe you. Also congratulations you've earned your second chance." Dark Decade told him.

"T-Thank you my lord…" Rey mutters as he slowly stands back.

"Here's the new plan you're going to get both Decade's and Kiva's attention and keep them distracted. I'm going to hunt down Diend." Dark Decade instructed him.

"What about Mio Naruse?" Rey asked.

"Don't worry I'll have Shadow Moon take care of that." Dark Decade told him. "Now go you have your assignment."

"Of course sir. It shall be done." Rey bows in respect before he leaves the area.

"Good, but Rey…" Dark Decade said getting Rey's attention as he stops walking. "You better not fail me again. Because I don't believe in third chances. Am I clear?"

"Of course my lord." Rey said before he resumes his walk as he leaves the area.

"Now then where would you be hiding Diend." Dark Decade said before he leaves as well to search for Diend.

(Back with Basara and Alex)

Basara and Alex decided to leave Castle Doran again to search for Seth/Diend to ask him a few questions. Now they are now walking around the city in the hope of finding Diend if he's still here in this world.

"You're sure it's a good idea to look for that guy? I mean you said so yourself that there's no telling if he's a friend or a enemy." Basara told him.

"Maybe so, but I still need to know for sure on whose side he's really on, and how did he get the Diendriver." Alex said.

"Alright just don't blame me for what happens." Basara told him.

"Like now?" A familiar voice calls out which made Basara and Alex to turned to see it was Rey standing behind them.

"Rey!" Alex said before he and Basara enters a combat stance. "In case you haven't notice we're a little busy. So we don't have time to waste on you."

"Oh but I'm afraid I do after all…" Rey said as Rey-Kivat flies around him. "This is my last chance...Henshin!"

"HENSHIN…"

Rey-Kivat soon inserted himself into his master and Rey soon transformed into his Kamen Rider form.

"Fine then have your way." Alex said before he brought out his Decadriver.

"Kivat!" Basara calls out and Kivat arrives as he flies around Basara.

"Yosha! Kivatte ikuze!" Kivat said before Basara catches him and lets him bite on his other hand.

"GABUU!"

Basara's belt appears around his waist and Alex puts on his Driver and brought out his Card.

"Henshin!" Basara and Alex said in the same time, as Basara inserted Kivat onto his belt and Alex inserted his Card into his Driver.

KAMEN RIDE: DECADE

Basara and Alex had transformed into their respective Kamen Rider forms, and soon the two Kamen Riders and Rey charged at each other and soon engaged combat against each other.

Decade dodges a slashed from one of Rey's claws and counters by punching at him but Rey blocks it in time using his other gauntlet and slashed on Decade's chest forcing him to stumble back.

Kiva then punches at Rey but the Dark Rider parries his punch and stabs him on the chest sending Kiva rolling on the ground.

Rey then saw Decade kicking at him which he manage to block in time and Rey lands a slashed on Decade sending him rolling on the ground before he stops as he stands on one knee.

"Alright if that's how you want to play it!" Decade said as he brought out his Ride Booker in its gun mode and fires upon Rey as he stands back on his feet.

Rey blocks Decade's gunfire with his gauntlets and when he wasn't looking Kiva jump and kicks on his head which made him stumble back and in the same time let go of his guard against Decade's gunfire as his shots lands on Rey's chest.

Decade then charges at Rey as he continues to fire on him and when he was closed enough Decade kicks him on the side of his head making him roll on his shoulder before he stops and soon got back on his feet.

"Damn you…!" Rey shouted in anger before he charges at Decade.

Decade soon changes to his Ride Booker's sword mode before Rey slashed at with one of his claws which he manage to block in time using his sword, and Rey was about to slashed at Decade again using his other claw, but Decade stops by kicking it away as he pushed Rey's other claw away and slashed on his chest making Rey to stumble back as Kiva jumps at him and lands a sideway kick on his head forcing him to stumble back in a spinning motion before he stops and glares at the two Kamen Riders who were now standing side by side as they faced him.

"Damn you both!" Rey exclaimed as he charges at Decade and Kiva and slashed at both of them using his both of his claws.

Decade and Kiva dodges his attack in time and Decade slashed at him while Kiva punches at him, but Rey manage to block their attacks in time using his gauntlets before he pushed them both back and stabs them on the chest.

Decade soon slashed at Rey but he was able to block his attack in time using one of his gauntlets and the two were in a locked before Rey started to push Decade back.

Unknown to the three of them is that Seth otherwise now known as Kamen Rider Diend was watching the three of them on the roof top of a nearby building as he watches their battle progress.

"I guess I shouldn't be surprise how he's able to handle himself, consider that he was able to make it this far." Seth said.

"Shouldn't you go help them?" Said a girl standing beside him which made Seth turned to her.

The was standing beside him was a sixteen year old girl with short crimson red hair and has violet eyes, and wears long elegant earrings. She was wearing a red hoodie with a white shirt underneath, with a white skirt with red shoes. This is Yona a traveling companion of Seth's.

"Nah they seem to got this covered and besides I rather not get anymore involved than I already did." Seth said which made Yona to puffed out a cheek and pulls on Seth's ear. "Itai! Yona stop not the ear you know how much I hate that!"

"Then stop with the attitude already and go help them!" Yona told him as she lets go of his ear and Seth soon rubs the ear that she was pulling on.

"Yona's right Seth." Seth turns to another girl that was behind Yona.

She is a 15 year old girl with long silver hair and has violet eyes. She was wearing a white winter jacket with brown fur parts with a white skirt and black stockings with winter boots, and she was holding a teddy bear in her arms. This is Inia Sestina another traveling companion of Seth's.

"You should go help them." Inia told him.

Seth then saw the kind of looks they were giving him which made him sigh as he rubs the side of his head.

"I just can't say no to those faces…" Seth said before he brought out the Diendriver. "Fine guess I'll help them one more time."

This made his travel companions to smile at him with proudness. Seth then brought out his Diend Card was going to insert into his Driver to transform until they heard a gunshot behind them, which made them turned and saw it was Dark Decade with his Driver on and armed with his Ride Booker in gun mode as he fired a shot into the air.

"Dark Decade…" Seth said as he recognizes the leader of the Dark Riders.

"So you remember me? That's good to hear. Somehow I just know if I follow Decade around you'll be right around where he's at, guess I should thank you, this really have save me the time of hunting you down." Dark Decade said as he raised his hand forward. "The Diendriver, hand it over."

"Not gonna happen, why don't you just come and take it from me?" Seth asked which made Dark Decade chuckle in amusement.

"Fine if that's how you want to play it." Dark Decade said as he brought out his Kamen Ride Card.

"Yona take Inia out of here. I'll handle this." Seth told him.

"But Seth…" Yona started before she stops when Seth gave her a warning glance saying this is no time to argue which she understood as she reluctantly nodded before she grabs onto Inia's hands. "Come on you Inia let's go."

Yona then begins to run away with Inia in toe.

"Seth please be careful!" Inia told as she and Yona run into a stairway entrance and soon run down the stairs leaving the area.

"Now then where were we?" Seth asked before he inserted his Card into his Driver.

"Henshin!" Seth and Dark Decade said in the same time as Dark Decade inserted his Card into his Driver.

KAMEN RIDE: DECADE

KAMEN RIDE: DIEND

Seth and Dark Decade transformed into their Kamen Rider forms, and Dark Decade soon changes to his Ride Booker's sword mode as he charges at Diend. Diend then fires at Dark Decade but the Dark Rider easily deflected his shots with his sword as he kept on charging at Diend.

Dark Decade then slashed at Diend who manage to dodge his slashed in time and was about fire at Dark Decade but he manage to stop him as he slashed on his gun pushing Diend's gun up in the air as he still holds on to it.

Dark Decade slashed at Diend again but he was able to dodge it in time by blocking with his gun/Driver but Dark Decade slightly overpowered Diend as he pushed his gun on his shoulder.

"Last chance hand over the Driver or die." Dark Decade warned him.

"Not gonna happen dude!" Diend told him.

"Fine then...I'll just have to pry it from your corpse!" Dark Decade said as he slashed passed from Diend's gun to his chest, and slashed on his chest again with a upward slashed which sends him off of the roof they were on as Diend was now falling to the ground.

As Rey had blocked attack from both Decade and Kiva he pushed them back, and soon heard Diend's cry in pain before they look and saw it was Diend as he fallen behind them.

"You again?" Decade asked.

"Yeah me again." Diend said as he stands back up.

Soon Dark Decade had off of the building and lands in front of the all Kamen Riders.

"Dark Decade?!" Decade said a little surprised to see his counterpart here.

"So that's him?" Kiva asked.

"Yeah it is." Decade nodded.

"Master? What are you doing?" Rey asked while being surprised as well.

"Don't bother asking pointless questions!" Dark Decade exclaimed as he slashed at Diend who manage to dodge his attack in time. "Just focus on keeping Kiva and Decade busy!"

"Of course." Rey nodded before he charges and slashed at Decade and Kiva who the letter dodges his attack in time.

"Not sure what's going on here. But it looks asking questions is gonna have to wait for now." Decade said as he and the other Kamen Rider engaged in combat with the Dark Riders.

(Meanwhile)

While everyone in Castle Doran is waiting for Basara's and Alex's return, Yui and Yuki can't help but feel a little worried for them.

Maria notice the worried look on Yuki's face which made her walk to her.

"Don't worry Yuki-san. I'm sure Basara-san will be alright." Maria said.

"I know...but still…" Yuki mutters.

"She's right nee-san." They turned to Ramon who was walking towards them. "Nii-chan's strong, so you shouldn't doubt that he'll be back safe and sound."

Yuki ponders about it for a while until she smiles before she nodded.

"You're right. Thank you, both of you." Yuki told them.

"It's no problem." Maria and Ramon said.

Jiro then spotted something in the room that gotten his attention as he turns to it before he calls out to everyone.

"Everyone get ready! I think we're about to have some guests." Jiro told them and everyone in the room look at what he was looking at and saw it was a Dimensional Wall appearing in the middle of the room.

"Oh no don't tell me they found us already!" Ryu said as he and the others got in front in the Dimensional Wall and between Mio to protect her.

Soon walking out of the Dimensional Wall is Shadow Moon before it closes behind him.

"Who are you?!" Riki demanded as he and the others get ready for a fight against him.

"Greetings to you all. I am Shadow Moon, I serve as Lord Dark Decade's second in command." Shadow Moon said before he bows his head.

"His second in command?" Ryu repeated while being a little on edge when he said.

"Just why are you here?" Yuki asked as she got ready to drew her sword.

"You should already know the answer to that." Shadow Moon said before he pointed at the sleeping Mio. "I'm here for Mio Naruse. Hand her over and I promise you'll all be spared."

"That's not going to happen!" Ryu swore before he brought out his Arcle Belt and enters his henshin pose. "Henshin!"

Ryu transformed into Kamen Rider Kuuga.

"Agreed!" Yuki said as she brought out her sword and Maria transformed into her demon form.

Then the three Arm Monsters soon transformed into their monster forms as they entered a combat stance.

"So be it…" Shadow Moon said as he brought out his sword. "But only know that you've only brought this to yourself."

Kuuga then turns to Yui, Yuki and Maria.

"Yui. Yuki-chan. Maria-chan. You three protect Mio-chan, we'll handle him." Kuuga told them and they nodded. Kuuga and the Arm Monsters face Shadow Moon before they charged at him.

(Back with Kiva and the others)

Kiva dodges a few attacks from Rey and kicks him away. Diend was dodging a few slashes from Dark Decade and attacks by swinging his gun at him which he manage to block with his sword, and Dark Decade pushed him gun back and slashed at his chest but Decade stops his attack in time by using his own sword and soon kicks Dark Decade away as he stumbles back.

"You? Why did you…?" Diend said while being a little surprised that Decade helped him.

"I may not know that much about you. But it looks like you're an enemy of Dark Decade like me, that's the reason why I'm helping you." Decade told him.

"You…" Diend mutters before he huffed. "You're pretty naive you know that right?"

"Pretty much." Decade shrugged before Diend walks to his side and both Riders stand side by side.

"I'll handle Dark Decade. You help Basara." Decade told him.

"Don't give me orders." Diend said but he runs to assist Kiva.

"Sure no problem." Decade said before he chuckles and then he turns back to Dark Decade and charges at him and two Riders clashed their swords against each other. "Your opponent is me now!"

"Fine by me!" Dark Decade said as he pushed Decade back, and two Decades clashed their swords against each other's a few times before one clashed brought them in a sword lock before Decade pushed Dark Decade back.

Rey lands a slashed on Kiva's chest sending him to a nearby wall, and Rey was going to stab him until he was fired upon by Diend.

"You? Why are you…?" Kiva asked.

"Don't get the wrong idea. I'm not staying to help, I'm only helping just to get these guys off my back." Diend told him.

"Fine whatever you say." Kiva said as he stands up and the two Riders charged at Rey.

"Huh! What can two Riders possible do against me?!" Rey said in a mocking tone.

"You sure it's just two?" Diend asked as he brought out and inserted a Card into his Driver.

KAMEN RIDE: KAIXA

Diend soon summons Kamen Rider Kaixa and soon the three Kamen Riders stand side by side before they charged at Rey.

Rey then slashed at Kiva but Kaixa stops his attack in time by parrying it with his arm and soon both him and Kiva punches on Rey's chest sending him stumbling back before he stops and felt a gun pressed against his back he turns and saw it was Diend before he fired on his back sending him rolling on the ground, before he soon stops and immediately got back on his feet.

Then Kaixa armed with his Blaygun with its sword out slashed on Rey's chest followed by a kick with Kiva and another kick from Diend. Diend then turned to Kaixa.

"You're done for now." Diend told him and Kaixa nodded before he disappeared.

Diend then brought out two Kamen Ride Cards and inserted them into his gun/Driver.

KAMEN RIDE: DRAKE

KAMEN RIDE: DELTA

Soon Kamen Riders Drake and Delta appeared by both of Diend's sides, and Kiva brought out his Wake Fuestle and inserted into Kivat's mouth while Diend brought out another Card and inserted into his Driver.

"WAKE UP!"

ATTACK RIDE: CROSSATTACK

Kiva raised his leg up in the air while Diend with the other two Kamen Riders by his side aimed their guns at Rey.

"I won't let you!" Rey roars as he charged at them.

Kiva then jumps in the air and kicks at Rey as his foot lands on his chest and sends the Dark skidding back before he crashed onto a wall before Kiva's symbol appeared behind him before Kiva jumps off.

Rey then looks at Diend before he and the other Kamen Riders fired an energy shot from their weapons at Rey destroying him as he exploded and soon the two Kamen Riders Diend summon soon disappeared.

As Decade and Dark Decade punches on each other's chest which made them both to stumble back, and soon saw that Kiva and Diend had manage to defeat Rey.

"Nice!" Decade said while Dark Decade clicks his tongue in disappointment.

'Useless...but oh well at least he bought me some time at least.' Dark Decade thought.

"It looks like you've lost this one, Dark Decade." Decade stated which made Dark Decade chuckles in a mocking tone which slightly confused him.

"Did I?" Dark Decade said before a Dimensional Wall appears behind before he walks into it. "Don't count on it. I mean after all, he did bought us some time." He told him before the Dimensional Wall disappeared.

Decade wonders what he means by that before he changes back into Alex, and Kiva and Diend changed back to their civilian forms as well.

"Now with that done. I'm leaving." Seth said as he was about to walk away until Alex calls out to him.

"Wait a minute! I still want to know who you are and why you have the Diend Driver!" Alex told him which made Seth turned to him with a cold glare in his eyes.

"You haven't earn the right to learn any of that information from me. I'll only tell you when you can defeat me in a battle until then goodbye Alex." Seth said before a Dimensional Wall appeared in front of him and he soon walks into it, before it closes before Alex could follow him.

"And with that he's gone again." Alex sighs before Basara walks to his side.

"You alright Alex?" Basara asked.

"Yeah I'm fine. Besides it's not like this will be the last time I'll see him again, I have a good feeling that we'll meet again sooner than later." Alex said before he thought back to Dark Decade's words to him when he left. 'What did Dark Decade meant like that? He didn't seem to mind Rey being destroyed and what does he mean by, bought him some time…?'

Alex then realized that Rey must have been a distraction for him and Basara as his eyes widen in realization which Basara took notice as he saw the look on his face.

"Alex what's wrong?" Basara asked.

"Basara we need to head back to Castle Doran!" Alex said before he runs ahead and Basara soon followed behind him.

"What why? What's going on?" Basara asked.

"I'm not sure how, but Dark Decade must have sent one of his lackies to Castle Doran to capture Mio!" Alex said.

"What but how did he…?" Basara asked.

"We don't have time to figure that! We need to hurry!" Alex told him and Basara nodded in agreement as they continue running.

'Please be safe Mio...everyone…' Basara praying for everyone's safety.

(Back in Castle Doran)

Kuuga had fallen to the ground and was about to get back up until Shadow Moon pressed his foot against his back to pinned him on the floor as he lifts up Jiro as he was holding him on the neck.

An injured Riki in his human form is seen on a wall as he growls in pain as he was too injured to even move, and an injured Ramon also in his human form is seen on the floor as he toss and turned in pain.

Yuki, Maria, and Yui were left shock that Shadow Moon was able to defeat them so easily and while not having a scratch on him.

"Now with these four dealt with." Shadow Moon said before he tossed Jiro to nearby wall as he crashed onto that wall before he fallen to floor and reverted back into his human form and then kicks Kuuga on the stomach which made him skid on the floor before he crashed onto a wall as he reverts back into Ryu. "I'll be taking Mio Naruse now."

Shadow Moon then begins to walk towards Mio which made Yuki and Maria to step in front of him as he stops walking.

"We're not going to let you do that." Yuki swore as she got ready,

"Agreed!" Maria nodded in agreement.

"No...you need to run…" Ryu told them as he tries to get back up.

Shadow Moon huffed before he turns to Maria.

"Your name is Maria, correct?" Shadow Moon asked which slightly gotten Maria's attention. "My master had made an agreement to Zolgia, and you know what needs to be done for your own sake."

Maria was slightly surprised to hear while everyone else was confused on what he means by that. Maria then frowned as she looks down.

"Maria, what does he mean by that?" Yuki asked before her eyes widen as Maria suddenly punches her in the gut so hard it made her drop her sword and fallen on her knees as her hand was placed on her stomach as she cough a few times.

"Maria-chan?" Ryu gasped in shock while the others in the room were also surprised by what she had just done.

"Maria what are you…?" Yuki asked before Maria kicks her to the floor.

"Well done." Shadow Moon said as he walks past her and towards Mio, until Yui got in his way.

"You want her you'll have to get past...gah!" Yui said before Shadow Moon slaps her away as she fallen to the floor.

"Move aside insect." Shadow Moon said as he walks to Mio and picks up her and carried her in a bridal carry. "Now then let us be on our way."

Then a Dimensional Wall appeared in the room and Shadow Moon walks to it and Maria soon follows behind him, and when they were a few feet away Alex and Basara soon entered the room and saw Shadow Moon carrying Mio in his arms.

"Shadow Moon?" Alex said in surprised while Basara saw Mio being carried in his arms.

"Mio!" Basara shouted as he and Alex runs to her to rescue her but Maria stops them as she punches and kicks them to the ground.

"Maria what are you doing?" Basara asked.

"I'm sorry Basara-san, but this is where we say goodbye." Maria said as she walks back to Shadow Moon and they both entered the Dimensional Wall together with Mio in toe before the Wall disappeared.

"Mio…" Basara mutters.

"Damn it…" Alex mutters as he punches on the floor.

Shadow Moon and Maria soon arrived in Zolgia's palace as they walk out of the Dimensional Wall and waiting for them is Dark Decade, Arc, Zolgia and Zest as they were standing in front of them.

"My lord I brought the target as you requested." Shadow Moon said as he walks in front of him and Dark Decade looks at the sleeping Mio.

"Well done Shadow Moon. I know I can always count on you." Dark Decade said as he picks up Mio from his arms.

"Of course my lord, for it is my honor to serve." Shadow Moon bows in respect. "Now I will take my leave now."

Shadow Moon then walks into the Dimensional Wall before it disappeared. Zolgia then eyed on Mio with a evil grin on his face.

"After all these years I finally have you. I suppose I have you people to thank." Zolgia said.

"Don't mention it. But don't forget our deal Zolgia." Dark Decade said.

"Yes of course, once I've taken Mio's and Basara Toujou's power, I'll let you have the human world and I'll rule the underworld." Zolgia said while trying his best to hide his spite before he turns to Maria. "Oh and don't worry I haven't forgotten about you Maria. As thanks for assisting in Mio Naruse's capture, I'll give you what you mostly desire."

Maria didn't answer as she looks down to the ground as she tightens her fist.

(Back with Basara and the others)

After Shadow Moon and Maria had left with Mio, they soon begin tending to everyone's injuries.

"I'm glad that you two are alright." Alex said as he finished wrapping the bandages on Ryu's chest.

"Yeah but that guy still got away with Mio-chan…" Ryu mutters in shame.

"Don't worry we'll get her back, no matter what." Alex told them.

"How's that Yuki?" Basara asked as he placed a bandage on Yuki's cheek.

"It's fine. Also Basara, I'm sorry it was because of me that they captured Mio." Yuki said as she looks down in shame.

"Hey don't worry about it, it's not your fault." Basara assured her.

"But still I can't believe that succubus would betray us like this." Jiro said.

"Neither can I…" Basara said. "But there has to be a reason why Maria would do this."

"A reason? Basara-sama you're being to naive. That succubus was a spy this entire time and when the chance finally arrived to betray us she did it. Right now she's the enemy." Jiro reminded him.

"I know that! But even so...I refuse to believe it until I hear it from Maria herself...after all despite everything that just happened, she's still my little sister." Basara said which made Alex and his friends have a impressed smile, while Jiro sighs.

"Very well then...if that is what you truly believe then we'll follow you." Jiro said and the other Arm Monsters nodded in agreement.

"In any case, our first priority is to find and locate Zolgia's base. Because that will most likely where both Mio and Maria would be." Alex said.

"That's true, but how are we going to find it?" Yuki said.

Basara ponders about it until he have a idea on who might be able to help them.

"I...I think I might know someone who might be able to help." Basara said getting his friends attention as they turned to him.

"Basara you don't actually mean him?" Kivat asked and Basara nodded.

"What are you guys talking about? Who's him?" Ryu asked.

Basara then begins to explain about a secret partner that he has been in contact with for a while which is a surprised to most of them.

(Later)

The sun was beginning to set, as Basara had soon arrived at the park.

"Yo, I was beginning to wonder when you'll show up. Basa-chi." Basara looks and saw it was Yahiro AKA Lars as he arrived on the park as well.

After explaining about who Yahiro really was to his friends, he had contacted him to meet.

Basara then explains to Lars that Mio has been captured and that Maria has betrayed them.

"I see so that's what happened." Lars said with amuse smile on his face.

"Lars, do you know why Maria would do this?" Basara asked.

"Not sure…" Lars said in a teasing tone before he turns to Basara who gave him a warning glare, which Lars to chuckle as he waved his hands. "Relax I was only kidding. Yes indeed I do know why, if I have to guess it's mostly because...Zolgia have Maria-chan's mother hostage."

"Nani?" Basara gasped in shock.

"Yep, I've only heard about this just recently, but apparently Zolgia captured her mother Sheila hostage and must have used her as a bargaining chip to use against Maria to force her into working with him." Lars told him.

"So that's why she did it." Basara said in realization, that Maria was only doing what a child would do to save her family.

"Yeah, and your almost out of time. Since Zolgia now has Naruse, he'll mostly begin to extract her father's power from her, and it's most likely she won't be able to survive." Lars told him.

Basara tighten his fist before he looks at Lars.

"Yahiro...no Lars I need your help. Can you help me save Mio?" Basara requested.

"Hmmm...let me think about it…" Lars said before he suddenly vanished and punches on Basara stomach.

"What are you…?" Basara asked before Lars placed his other hand in front of his face.

"Sorry Basachi." Lars said before he brought out a energy orb from his hand and it soon exploded in front of Basara.

When the smoke died down Lars was now in his true form as he turned to the unconscious and wounded Basara on the ground.
