Kamen Rider Kabuto: The Flower of Rin-ne

Chapter 4: Town Battlefield

After her battle, Madoka had flown the Vox into the docking port.

"She certainly did well, for a novice." Kabuto said before Kabuto Zecter come off his belt, and turned him into Souji.

"You can say that again." Kabuto Zecter said.

They soon heard marching, they look and saw several men in uniforms holding, and were aiming guns at Souji.

"You there, with the mechanical…beetle! We went you to come with us for questioning." One of them said well walking towards Souji.

"Hey," Souji raised his hands in defense. "There's no reason for-!"

The officer took Souji's hand and…

Click!

Souji looks down on his hands, and saw he was handcuffed as he shook them.

"No way…" Souji mutters, he then looks at Madoka's mysterious friend Lan. "Excuse me, Mado-chi's friend, can you kindly tell them I mean no harm."

"I'm sorry, but I need to check on her." Lan told him before walking away.

"I must go as well." The fox eyed man follows her.

"No way…" Souji mutters, before he was being pulled with the officers. "Okay! Okay! I'm going!"

"Hey, wait up!" Kabuto Zecter followed his partner.


(Play Next Level by YU-KI)

(Instrumental) As the song begins the screen is covered by insect wings which soon falls apart revealing Kamen Rider Kabuto in Masked Form. The next shows Kabuto in Rider Form arrives being by Worms. He gets ready for battle as the next scene shows him riding on the Kabuto Extender.

(Kimi ga negau koto nara. Subete genjitsu ni naru darou. Erabareshi mono naraba.) Kabuto continues drive in a wide open area in which he is soon replaced by Souji, Hiyori, Madoka, Lan, and Muginami walking in different paths. The next is a meteor crashing into a city.

(Bousou wo hajimeteru.) The next scene shows how many Worms can disguise as normal people. The scene soon shows lights in the sky by a tower.

(Sekai wo moto ni modosu ni wa mahout. Jikan ga nai.) Scene shows Souji on his bike, getting off, and walking away. Meanwhile a ZECT van was going to a Worm attack scene.

(Moving Fast. Kokoro mo. Tokei hashirase.) Hiyori looks at her family photo. A child Madoka was looking at the ocean. Lan was working at Hiroshi's restaurant but was clumsy carrying the dishes. And a child Muginami was feeding a young weak Villagulio.

(Ashita no sono saki e) Souji was standing back-to-back with Kabuto Masked Form. Next, a child Souji and Hiyori was crying at their parent's funeral.

(Kimi no tonan tatakau tabi. Umarekawaru. Nani mieru. Speed koeteku motion.) Kabuto uses Cast Off and transform into his Rider Form. He shows off his Clock Up as he ran past the frozen explosions.

(Ittai jibun negai. Dare no tsuyosa. Shinjirareru.) Hiyori cried as green slime dropped from the ceiling.

(Kousoku no vision minogasu-na. Tsutie koreru nara.) Kabuto starts fighting in Clock Up before the screen is covered by insect wings and soon the logo.


As Madoka's Vox enters the docking hanger, she took off her hair piece, and soon the hatch of her machine opened, and soon jumps out of the cockpit on the Vox.

"Everyone, I won!" Madoka said, and drew an air circle. "Perfect!"

Everyone in the hanger was silence, no more like speechless.

"Ah oh…Did I do something wrong?" Madoka asked before noticing the color of the Vox. "The color change. It looks way better now."

"Excellent work, young lady." The fox eye man said, well bowing.

"Oh, thanks." Madoka said.

"You put the Vox Aura passed its limits. And handle it in battle quite well. Oh my where are my manners, my name is Moid, and so far I'm very impress by you." Moid told her.

"What…the Vox Aura?" Madoka said a little confused.

"Yes that's correct, that's the name of the machine you're standing on." Moid explained.

"Oh, so that's its name." Madoka said while looking at the Vox, until she laid eyes on Lan below the Vox. "Lan!"

Lan was looking away from Madoka, before she jumps down and run towards her.

"Did you see me?" Madoka asked.

"Yes…" Lan nodded. Madoka looks at her machine.

"Isn't this robot amazing? I had no idea piloting this thing would be easy." Madoka said.

"Easy?" Lan said.

"Yeah!" Madoka said before turning to her. "It just seems to move the way I wanted it to move."

Madoka looks around for Souji.

"By the way where's Souji-nii?" Madoka asked, while noticing a sad look on Lan's face. "Why what's wrong?"

"Nothing." Lan told her, before noticing something on Madoka's forehead, she checks it and saw the burse. "You're injured."

"Yeah, I may have bumped my head." Madoka nervously chuckle, which made Lan smile.

"Sorry, to interrupt." They both look, and saw the brown upper hair. "I'm Shozo Tadokoro, the commander of this facility. I liked for us to have a quick briefing, before you set out in your next mission."

"My next what?" Madoka asked, wondering she was hearing things, before looking at Lan. "There's going to be more?"

"Woof." Lan did the dog gesture again.

Madoka soon turned back to Tadokoro.

"Okay, but can I go to the restroom first?" Madoka asked.


(Meanwhile onboard the spaceship)

"Wait Izo!" Kirius told him as he walking to his machine.

"I can't wait." Izo told him, as he and Kirius stop by his machine. "Array's Ovid isn't responding. That means one of us has to go down there and rescue him."

Izo soon enters the cockpit of his machine.

"You saw the signal of the enemy's Ovid; it was like nothing we seen before." Kirius told him, which stops Izo.

"You're not saying their using the Vox?" Izo asked.

"It is possible. Depending how long they have the Vox, Memoria may have already been archived." Kirius stated.

"Then that means they found a pilot for it." Izo said before sitting on his cockpit chair and the harness set on him. "You know what that says to me? That I better head out for sure now. I am the best pilot De Metrio has to offer."

"Izo!" Kirius exclaimed.

"Come on, we both now using the power of a Vox to crush Le Garite is our destiny. We shouldn't be wasting time, if we have the opportunity to test the power of a legendary weapon." Izo told him as the hatch of his machine closes.

Soon his machine was now in the lunching hanger.

"And hey if I don't make it back, save yourself." Izo told him as he machine flies out the ship and heads to Earth.

Kirius was in the command deck, as he watches him leave.


(With Madoka)

Madoka had put a bandage on her burse forehead, and glare at the mirror.

"I was tricked!" Madoka stated. "I was totally tricked!"

Madoka soon fall on the floor, and punch and kick in the air.

"No one didn't tell me about a second mission!" Madoka wined, but soon stop. "Did Lan just pretend to be my comrade to get close and convince to pilot that crazy Vox thing? And that memory did I just made that up?"

Madoka remembers, that vision she had of her as a child, with the Vox pricing her with a light.

Madoka soon sits up.

"No that was real. I think…" Madoka said while looking down. "Was I wrong?"

Madoka soon puts her hands on her head in frustration.

"I don't know!" Madoka shook her head. "I'm so confuse!"

Madoka drops her phone on the ground, which made it flipped opened. Madoka soon notice it, and picks it up and saw she had many calls from Youko.

"Hmm, all from Youko-nee. I wonder what's wrong." Madoka called her back, and didn't hear a ring, and saw it didn't have a signal. "No service."

Madoka soon exits out of the room.

"Oh wait, I got one bar." Madoka tried to get a stronger signal, and moves down the hallway to get better connection.

After passing a few doors, she soon heard.

"I'll ask you again!" She jumps when she heard the yelling. Being a little curious on what's going on, she checks inside.

"Where did you get this technology?!" A man slams his fist on the table, well showing a video of Kabuto transforming and fighting.

"I told you I can't say." A familiar voice said.

"Wait isn't that?" Madoka moves a little closer.

"Alright then let's change subject…What is your connection to Madoka Kyouno?!"

"I told you before, she and I are cousins, we grow up together, hell she's a like a sister to me." Madoka saw that it was Souji.

"Souji-nii?!" Madoka gasped.

Souji and his interrogator turned towards her.

"Hey, Mado-chi." Souji waved with his hand cuffed hands.

After Madoka kindly asked the interrogator, to release Souji and took off his hand cuffs, they in the hallway.

"Thanks for that Mado-chi." Souji told her, while messaging his hands.

"You're welcome. And can you not call me that in public!" Madoka exclaimed.

"Nope." Souji told her.

"Hmm…" Madoka sneer at him. "By the way why are you?"

"I was here looking for you." Souji told her. "Hiyori told me that Lan girl kidnap you here. And then I found you fighting in a giant robot."

"Don't remind me…They want me to go do it again…" Madoka mutters.

"Really again?" Souji asked, Madoka nodded. "Well if that's the case,"

Well he was talking; Madoka paid half attention before remembering something.

"We may to get out of here before-." Souji turned to see Madoka is gone. "Mado-chi?"

Souji sighed before placing his hand on his face while shaking his head.

"This is just great…I better go look her, before something even more strange-ish happens..." Souji said before walking down the hallway.


(Outside)

Several officers were hooking up the machine Madoka defeated onto several helicopters, and soon took the machine to a different area.

Watching them taking the mech, were Hiyori, Youko, and Souta who were hiding, by bushes and trees.

"Hey Youko, Hiyori-chan, your cousin is in pretty deep, do you think this means that she won the battle?" Souta asked.

"I'm just surprised she was in that robot, hell I'm more surprised that Lan girl was being serious about her piloting it." Hiyori said.

Well Youko remembers the move the Vox Aura beating the enemy mech with a wrestling move.

"Well the other one's not moving, then I guess that it does." Youko told them.

"What this mean then? Did your cousin become a robot pilot overnight?" Souta asked.

"I don't know, I thought she doesn't even know how to ride a bike." Youko said.

"Hell she doesn't even know how to drive a car yet." Hiyori said.

"Then I guess she got a scouter license." Youko said.

"You think that piloting a scouter is like piloting a robot?!" Souta asked. "You know what I think, it's the people here. Their hiding something, you and I spent the last five years investigating those O-Parts artifacts, with zero success. And these guys built a robot out of them in six months!"

"What are O-Parts?" Hiyori asked.

"Well it's complicated to explain…But there's got to be some sort of secret-!" Before he could finish Youko falls on him sending him to the ground, which made him really blushed being close to her, while Hiyori was in awed on how bold she was.

"Hiyori get down." Youko told her.

"Oh, okay." Hiyori nodded before lying on the ground.

"Uhm…Why are you…?" Souta started.

"Sh!" Youko told him as she was looking at something, Souta and Hiyori turned to where she was looking at, and saw two officers opened a door and gone inside.

"You two stay here." Youko told them before running to the door.

"Hey wait for me!" Souta quickly followed.

"Me too!" Hiyori quickly followed as well. "I still need an explanation on what's going!"


(The Base's command center)

"What were you planning to do, if Madoka Kyouno wasn't able to awaken the Vox Aura?" Tadokoro asked, Lan and Moid.

"Those who achieve a connection with the Vox, becomes it's one and only pilot. Even if it falls into enemy hands has long as we have Miss Madoka Kyouno, we control the Vox. And the same will be said if the scenario is reverse." Moid explained. "An alternative would be accelerating her organic response with the Vox, but that is risky so I wanted to avoid that if possible. The simple truth is we didn't have a viable counter measure in place, in the end I'm just please that it all work out."

"And I also learn a great deal as a result. Inside that head of yours there has never been a single thought and concern of protecting this planet." Tadokoro stated.

"Well I should say that keep the Vox save, is about the same as keeping the earth save." Moid told him.

"Right, and who's idea was it to take the Vox into battle in the frontline?" Tadokoro asked, which made Lan looks away.

"Weapons from earth are utterly useless against them." Moid told him.

"Alright fine, then why don't you take the Vox and leave this planet?" Tadokoro asked.

"Because if we do that, the earth will fall under their control." Moid stated. "Such a future will be quite bilk."

"Alright fine, I got it." Tadokoro sighed. "So then what do we do now? Do you really think taking our chances against them would work?"

"Changing by the craft's performance alone, its powers clearly surpass our enemy's. The rest will depend on entirely on the girl." Moid stated.

"So we are going to take our chances, then." Tadokoro said.

"Well I guess you can say that." Moid said.

Tadokoro got off his chair and looks at Moid and Lan.

"I'm going to ask you one last thing." Tadokoro told them.

"Sure ask away." Moid told him.

"Is the main battalion really going to show up here?" Tadokoro asked.

"After the war on their said is over, they will come." Moid assured him.

"Hmm…" Tadokoro hummed.

"Commander!" One of the staff turned to him.

"What is it?" Tadokoro asked.

"It seems the pilot is missing." She told him, which made Tadokoro and Moid turned to her with surprised faces.


(Back with Souji)

"Mado-chi! Oh Mado-chi!" Souji called out while walking down the hallways. "Just where did that girl gone to?"

"Souji!" Souji looks and saw Kabuto Zecter flying to him.

"Kabuto Zecter, did you found her?" Souji asked.

"No sorry, this place is big she can be anywhere around here." Kabuto Zecter told him.

"Well we just have to keep looking." Souji said.

"You there!" Souji and Kabuto Zecter turned around and saw Lan behind them.

"Oh Mado-chi's friend." Souji said.

"Do you know where, Madoka has gone to?" Lan asked.

"No I don't actually." Souji told her.

Lan and Souji and Kabuto Zecter flying by him, were walking down the hallway together looking for Madoka.

"Hey, Mado-chi's friend," Souji started.

"My name is Lan." Lan told him.

"Okay Lan, mind telling me why that you brought Mado-chi here, and have her pilot that machine?" Souji ask wanting to know.

"I can't say." Lan told him.

"Hmm, a girl with few words, are you? Alright then never mind." Souji said.

They soon saw an opened door, and thinking who was inside they walk to it, and gone inside a dark hanger room.

Souji look around and saw another Vox in a different design.

"They have another one here?" Souji wondered.

"Found you." Lan said, Souji look to where she was looking and saw Madoka.


Lan had brought them back in the room she was in, before she left. Lan had opened a compartment with a light green and white colored outfit inside.

"I'm telling the truth I wasn't trying to run away." Madoka told her.

"Say's the girl who up and vanish on me." Souji said.

"Oh…sorry about that Souji-nii." Madoka said.

"It's alright, I understand how you feel." Lan told Madoka.

"Huh? Really?" Madoka asked.

"To be honest…I wished that I didn't have to put the whole weight of this on you." Lan said. "I should have help out more…but instead all I can do is stand aside."

"Okay…I'm not following." Madoka said.

"No surprise there." Souji said quietly.

Lan turned towards them, looking sad.

"I'm so sorry…I just…" Lan mutters.

Souji and Madoka notices her hand was shaking for some reason. Seeing that look on Lan's face, Madoka sighed, before standing up and walked towards the green uniform.

"There's no way I can fit into this." Madoka told her, making Lan surprised before turning to her.

"Care to help me out?" Madoka asked.

"Should have figured that you were going to say that." Souji sighed while shaking his head.


(Back on the command deck)

After helping Madoka putting on her pilot suit, she was in the Vox Aura and was about to launch, Lan had about Souji and Kabuto Zecter to the command deck.

"You're sure that you shouldn't try to stop her Souji?" Kabuto Zecter asked his partner, who was standing beside Lan.

"You honestly think she'll listen to me when it comes to helping a friend?" Souji asked.

"Yeah I guess that's true." Kabuto Zecter nodded. "But still they told her, that the fate of the planet is resting on her shoulders."

The Vox Aura soon launches to engage an enemy machine that was coming in Mach 2 speed.

Madoka was about to clash against the enemy machine, but was soon losing control.

"What's happening?!" Tadokoro asked.

"We don't know sir! The Vox's systems suddenly went online, and it's overriding the AI control systems."

"Nani?!" Souji gasped.

"Just what's going on? Are you teeling me she now has control over the machine?" Tadokoro asked.

"Well isn't this working quite splendidly. That girl is a perfect match for the Vox." Moid stated.

"This isn't a game…" Tadokoro growls. "All stations prepare for attack!"

"Mado-chi…" Souji mutters.


(Meanwhile somewhere else)

Youko, Hiyori, and Souta were now on top of a tall building.

"I guess this isn't the right spot either. This place is just too big." Souta said. "Come on, Youko let's go back inside."

"Yeah we should probably look somewhere else." Hiyori said.

"Wait look." Youko told them, they look and saw the Vox and the enemy machine.

"What's going on?" Souta wondered.

"That's what I want to know." Hiyori said.

Youko looks at a different building and saw Lan standing beside Souji.


(With Madoka)

As Madoka's machine was flying out of control.

"I don't know what's happening?!" Madoka panic, before a holographic warning appeared, Madoka looks above and saw the enemy machine diving towards her with a weapon in hand.

"Let's see your what they say you are!" Izo roared as he charges.

Izo landed a attack on the Vox on its wing.


(Back on the command deck)

"Vox Aura was hit, and its energy output is abnormal, it's out of control." One of the stuff near the computers said.


(Back with Madoka)

Madoka's Vox was flying to the ocean and crushed inside the water.


(Back with Youko and Hiyori)

Youko, Hiyori, and Souta gasped when the Vox had fallen in the ocean.


(Back at the command deck)

"Mado-chi!" Souji shouted in worried.

"What's the pilot's status?" Tadokoro asked.

"Her vital signs are stable, but the Vox is completely shut down."

Souji was relieved to hear Madoka's alright, but he couldn't stand by anymore and wants to help her.

"That's it…Come on Kabuto Zecter, we're going down there." Souji told the Zecter.

"You got it!" Kabuto Zecter nodded.

As they were about to leave, Lan quickly left as well.

"Where is she going?" Kabuto Zecter asked.

"I think I know." Souji stated before following her.


Souji made it down in the elevator, after Lan went down first, and when he exits it, he saw Lan wearing a pilot suit like Madoka had put on in blue colors, running pass him to the other end of the hallway, and he decided to follow her.

Souji had followed Lan to a hanger room, where there was another Vox, and with her was Moid.

"Going somewhere? Can you really handle it my lady?" Moid asked.

Lan didn't answer by walking towards the Vox, but Moid stops her by garbing her wrist.

"You see the problem is, my lady, is that you fear the legend." Moid told her. "In your current state princess, can you truly accept the Vox?"

Lan gasped as her face flinched hearing what he said.

"Wait he called Lan a princess, she's a princess?" Kabuto Zecter wondered.

"Yeah he did. And he said a legend? About those machines?" Souji wondered as he looks at the Vox, and have a suspicion the Voxs may not be ordinary robots.


(Meanwhile with Madoka)

As the Vox Aura was floating in the water, Ito was observing it in the air.

"Did Array really lose to this thing?" Ito wondered when he have trouble dealing with the Vox, before he was hit by laser beams from the ships and soon dodge their attacks.

Soon the base fired missiles at him, but he dodges those as well, as he dashes to the Vox Aura, not before he took cover behind the wreckage of a boat, before the boat got hit and exploded, which send the Vox completely under the water.

Youko, Hiyori, and Souta, had watch what happen.

"Oh no, Madoka…" Hiyori mutters in worried about her cousin.

"Damn, I can't see what's happening." Souta said.

Youko had brought out her phone and opened it.


As the Vox Aura was slowly sinking in the water, inside Madoka had a sad look on her face feeling useless after what went down in her second battle.

"Who am I kidding?" Madoka asked out loud. "It was crazy to begin with. Me piloting this thing?"

Madoka made fists with hands in frustration, before her phone rings. Madoka picks it up and checks who was calling and saw that it was Youko.

"Youko-nee?" Madoka soon answered it and puts it on her ear. "Hey what's up?"

"Where are you right now?" Youko asked.

"Inside…a robot…" Madoka told her.


"I see." Youko said as she was still looking at the smoke cloud.


(Command Deck)

Moid had come back in the deck.

"Putting her on speaker now sir."

"Wait, you and Hiyori are outside by that?!" Madoka asked not aware she was being overheard.

"Her cell phone works in there?! Who called her?!" Tadokoro demanded to know.

"Someone close by sir." One of the stuff told him.


(Back with Souji)

Kabuto Zecter's eyes light blinking.

"Souji, I'm intercepting their communications, I think it's from Madoka." Kabuto Zecter said.

"Really? Can it you play?" Souji asked.

"Yeah I think so, hang on." Kabuto Zecter told him, and soon played it.

"You mind telling me why you're piloting that robot?" Youko asked.

"Youko? She's here too?" Souji wondered.

"Well…a lot of stuff happened and then…" Madoka said, unaware that Kabuto Zecter was playing it to Souji.


(Back with Madoka)

"Hey by the way, there's a question I wanted to ask you, that time when I almost drown ten years ago, did something strange happen to me then?" Madoka asked.


(Back with Youko)

Youko narrow her eyes, after Madoka asked her that.


(Back with Souji)

Souji also remembers that incident very well too.


(Back with Madoka)

"Do you even remember that day?" Madoka asked.


(Back with Youko)

"Yeah I remember it well." Youko told her.

Hiyori wondered if they were talking about that day ten years ago where Madoka almost drown.


(Back with Madoka)

"I know this sounds kind of weird, but I think I met this robot back then." Madoka said as he looks around the cockpit.


(Command Deck)

"Where's the enemy?" Tadokoro asked.

"Right near the Vox. Inside that black smoke."

Something had got Moid's eyes.

"Who's that?" Moid said.

Tadokoro look as well, and saw Youko, Hiyori and Souta.

"Of all places…" Tadokoro sighed. "She's a marine archeologist, she's been snooping around, ever since that organization, confiscated her research on information on the Vox Aura."

"Really?" Moid said.

"She's another cousin of the girl, and pretty much against Madoka Kyouno being the pilot of the Vox Aura." Tadokoro explained.

"Hmm." Moid hummed.


(Back with Madoka)

Madoka hugged her legs together as she taps her feet on the seat of the cockpit.

"This robot is amazing. I just think of a move and it does it." Madoka said. "I was kind of scared at first, but I got the hang of it quickly. To be honest it was really fun." She finished with a smile.

"But it's not fun anymore?" Youko asked.


(Command deck)

"Well after giving it some thought…" Madoka started.

"Distance from the second enemy unit and Vox Aura, 130."


(With Lan)

Lan was also overhearing through her communicator on her ear.

"For some reason, it seems that a lot of people are depending on me to pilot this robot." Madoka said.

"I want to live up to their expectations as best I can but…" Madoka said through Kabuto Zecter to Souji.


(With Madoka)

Madoka was observing the ceiling under the water.

"In the same time, I don't want to let anybody down." Madoka sighed before looking down. "When all those thoughts come swirling around it just stop moving."


(With Youko)

"You have got to be kidding me?!" Youko exclaimed very loud and sounded a little angry for some reason, which made Hiyori and Souta a little jumpy.


(With Madoka)

"Huh?" Madoka let out.


(Command deck)

"Ah…" Tadokoro let out.


(With Lan)

"Hmm…" Lan let out.


(With Souji)

"Eh?" Souji and Kabuto Zecter let out.


(With Madoka)

"Wake up god damn it!" Youko shouted in Madoka's ear.


(With Youko)

Youko stomps her foot on the railing.

"That thing's not moving because, you're acting like you're doing them a favor!" Youko stated, as Hiyori and Souta were watching her. "Now I'm not saying you should be grateful for letting you be the pilot! But if you told them you'll do it, then you better take responsibility for that decision and do it! And if you can't do that…Then it's time you quit the Jersey Club!"


(With Madoka)

Madoka gasped before her eyes widen.


(Command deck)

Everyone in the deck were a little speechless on what Youko said.


(With Lan)

Lan was blinking on what she said.


(With Souji)

"Should have figure she was going to say something like that." Souji sighed. "But then again she's not wrong either."

"You make me crazy sometimes!" Madoka exclaimed through Kabuto Zecter.


(Back with Madoka)

"Look your right…you're absolutely right. But…do you have to be so harsh all the time?!" Madoka lifts her head with a mad look on her face. "It's just really, really, annoying! I hate it!"


(Back with Youko)

Youko soon hangs up on Madoka and soon smiles.


(In the ocean)

Ito's machine had brought a beam weapon, and was moving towards the Vox.


(Command deck)

"Distance to enemy 20." One of the stuff said.

Tadokoro growls as the situation was looking grim.


(Back with Madoka)

Madoka growls as her hands and feet were back in the controls, as Ito's machine was moving close behind her.

Soon a bright green light appeared in the cockpit.


In the Command deck, one of the stuff was counting down from ten of how close the enemy machine was closing.

"What are you doing? Move it!" Tadokoro said.

"7. 6. 5. 4 3." As she was counting down, everyone was watching and/or listening on what's going on until.


One of the screens on their computers light up, as it type in the word 'Complete'.

"Vox system, online!" One of the stuff said typing on the keyboard.

"Distance from the enemy?!" Tadokoro asked.

"Zero."


(Back on the battle field)

Ito's machine was force out from the water with a slash on its outer layer skin, which made cracks appeared all over and soon shattered in pieces.

When the smoke cleared, coming out was the Vox Aura in humanoid mode flouting in the air.


(Command deck)

"Yes!" Tadokoro cheered, before the alarms went off. "What triggered the alarm?"

The big screen was showing a red dot coming down to the earth.


(With Souji and Lan)

As Souji and Lan heard the alarms, and were overhearing on what they were saying in the command deck.

"An unknown craft is entering the atmosphere!"

"Where's it heading?" Tadokoro asked.

"Straight at us."

"Nani?" Souji said.


(Back with Madoka)

"What now?!" Madoka wondered as she looks around, seeing and heard the alert alarms.

Soon a blur attacks her on the front of her machine, which sends it flying backwards until stopping.

Madoka looks and saw another enemy machine behind her.

"They surrounded me." Madoka said.

"Kirius…what are you thinking?" Ito asked.

"I couldn't just sit by and watch this anymore." Kirius said. "If we die, we die together!"


Madoka did not like her chances against two of them by herself.

"So there it is, it's the Ovid of the ancient legend, the Vox." Kirius said as he observes the machine. "Beautiful…"


(Command deck)

"The Ovid detected above Kamogawa, has been confirmed as a new enemy combatant. We're marking it as Unit 3."

"Hmm…Give the pilot a direct order. Tell her to get out of the area immediately." Tadokoro said before hearing Madoka talking on her communicator.

"Hey you, in the black robot, watch what your doing!"


(Back with Madoka)

Madoka and her Vox pointed at Kirius's Ovid.

"See that town over there?! That's where Hiroshi-ojisan, Miss Machiko, Sachi, Michi, Erika, and everyone else live, that's our home!" Madoka exclaimed before charging at Kirius. "Kamogawa! I'm coming to save you right now!"

"Very well pilot. You've committed to the legendary Ovid, now let's, see how good you truly are." Kirius said.

The Vox Aura and Kirius Ovid soon clashed into each other, hand locking each other, in even ground.


(Back with Lan)

Lan was overhearing on what's happening on the battlefield, and looks up on the Vox, and remembers what Moid told her.


(Flashback)

"You see the problem is my lady, is that you fear the legend in your current state princess, can you truly accept the Vox?" Moid asked.

Lan gasped as her face flinched.

"It's not possible is it? You tried countless times yet you're still unable to activate the Vox system." Moid said. "Try as you may you can't transform Rympha into Warrior mode."

Lan looks down before freeing herself from Moid's hold on her.

"There is only one reason all your attempts fail my lady. You can't overcome your fear." Moid stated.

Which made Lan feel even more sad and helpless.

(End of flashback)


"Madoka doesn't know. She never heard the legend; it's why she can pilot Aura so well. It's true she has no idea." Lan said to herself.

"If you really think that, then you're wrong." Lan turned and saw Souji walking towards her.

"You…" Lan blinked. "Wait did you…"

"Yeah I overheard sorry about that." Souji told her, Lan looks down to the floor, Souji looks at Vox Rympha. "I'm not going to ask why you're afraid of these machines nor am I going to ask about this legend about them. But I can tell you it's alright to have fear."

"What?" Lan looks back to Souji. "What do you mean?"

"Obaa-chan said this…Courage is the mastery of fear, not the absence of fear." Souji told her, Lan blinked on what means. "In other words, there is no bravery without fear. It's because of our fear is what makes us brave, to face them. I mean I'm sure that Mado-chi's afraid right now."

"What but she's-." Lan started.

As they were talking, Madoka was pushed back by Kirius, before charging at him.

Kirius pulls out handle which soon made a one sided beam sword, as Madoka was getting closer; Kirius turned his sword to the non-leather side before doing an overhead slash. Madoka tries to catch it with her hands but she still got hit by the head, before being pushed down to the ground.

"If you think it's because she hadn't heard this legend is why she can pilot that Vox without fear, you're mistaken." Souji stated. "All of us feel fear, it what makes us human. So like I said before it's alright to have fear, because we can be brave with it. Just like how Mado-chi is doing. And just like what I'm about to do."

Souji finished before leaving.

"Wait where are you going?" Lan asked.

"Going out there to help, and don't try to stop me, because I'm going to help protect my town. And think about what I told you well I'm gone." Souji told her as he exits the hanger.


(Outside)

Souji was now outside of the base, and raised his hand.

"Kabuto Zecter!" Souji called out.

"You got it!" Kabuto Zecter flies to his hand, before Souji grabs him.

"Henshin!" Souji inserts Kabuto Zecter on his belt.

"HENSHIN!"

Souji transformed into Kabuto Masked Form.

"Cast Off!" Kabuto pulled Kabuto Zecter's horned.

"CAST OFF!"

Kabuto's armor flies out, turning him into Rider Form.

"CHANGE BEETLE!"

"Clock Up!" Kabuto hits the button on his belt.

"CLOCK UP!"

Kabuto moves in Clock Up speed to and on the water and runs to Kamogawa.


Kabuto runs on a deck before exiting Clock Up.

"CLOCK OVER!"

Kabuto looks and saw the Vox Aura flying up to Kirius's Ovid, only crashed down to the ground. Kabuto soon heard ringing inside his helmet.

"Souji it's a call from the Professor, I'm putting it on." Kabuto Zecter told him.

"Souji." Haruka said in her lab.

"Haruka-san do you know what's going on?" Kabuto asked.


(With Haruka)

"Oh don't worry, I know, because I'm seeing it but still have trouble believing." Haruka told him as she watch the giant robot battle on her computer screen.


(Back with Kabuto)

"Look I'll explain later, but right do I have anything I can use in this situation?" Kabuto asked.

"There is actually, Kabuto Zecter bring in the Kabuto Extender." Haruka told him.

"You got it." Kabuto Zecter said.

Kabuto soon heard a familiar engine sound, and saw his bike driving towards him, Kabuto walked to it.

"How is it going help?" Kabuto asked before getting on it.

"Like you, the Kabuto Extender has two Forms, Masked Form for increase defense, and EX-Mode for increase attack. It can give you an edge in this situation, in theory anyway." Haruka told him.

"In theory yeah, that's nice. But," Kabuto soon drives to the Ovid battlefield. "Obaa-chan said this…Do or do not, there is no try! Cast Off!"

A tablet pops out from the Kabuto Extender, and Kabuto pressed on a button.

"CAST OFF!"

The red front part of the bike pops off from it, the front wheel split into two, and speared apart, and then a giant lance/spear-like weapon came sticking out the front of the motorcycle.

"Wow, this is nice." Kabuto said, and wondered what else this bike can do.

"Well if you think that's cool, wait until you see what it can do in Clock Up." Kabuto Zecter told him.

"I'll think I will. Clock Up!" Kabuto pressed on the button.

"CLOCK UP!"


The Vox Aura crash landed on a close down shop.

"Oh thank goodness. Since this shop went out of business last week there's no need to worry about anyone inside." Madoka said.

Kirius come in flying down to Madoka for another overhead slash, Madoka was going to catch it again, but fail again.

Madoka moves

"I don't get it. Why does she try the same reckless move twice in a row?" Kirius wondered. "Is this acquired for pilots who make a pack with the Vox to do, some sort of weird ritual."

Madoka moves away from Kirius, and grabs a cable off an electric pole.

"Dang it, I sure this time I would catch it." Madoka said before twirling the cable like rope. "I need to borrow this for a sec-."

Before she could throw it a blur come moving in and attacks Kirius Ovid on the head, causing it to stumble back.

"Hmm…" Madoka hummed on what happen.

"What the hell?!" Kirius gasped as he was about to fall but soon recovered. "What just hit me?!"

Kirius looks around, only to find the same blur, hits him on the head again and hits him on the legs, sending him to the ground on his hands and knees, before the blur stops sideways behind him.

"It's behind me!" Kirius soon stood up and turned around to face the unknown entity he thought was an Ovid, but he saw nothing.

"Down here!" Kirius looks down, and saw Kabuto on his Kabuto Extender EX-Mode.

"Souji-nii?" Madoka blinked.

"What the…How could something so small possible hit me so hard?" Kirius wondered.

Kabuto soon drives towards Kirius's Ovid.

"I don't think so!" Kirius raises his sword, but before he could bring it down, Kabuto vanish into thin air. "What he vanish?!"

Kirius got hit on the shoulder, and hit on the leg.


(In Clock Up dimension)

Kabuto skids sideways on the ground and turned forward and drives to Kirius, as the Rider drove electricity formed around his bike's spear horn and soon started to hovar in the air, the EX-Mode of his Extender can defy the laws of gravity.

Kabuto rams his bike onto the Ovid's head on the chin.


(Standard dimension)

Kirius was about to fall again, but quickly stops and get his machine back on both of its feet.

"Damn it! How is he doing this?!" Kirius exclaimed, before alert alarm rings inside his cockpit, he looks and saw Vox Aura landing a punch on him, which made stumble back.

Kirius slashes at the Vox Aura, but the Vox easily dodges his attacks. As Madoka continue to dodge his attacks she soon begins singing a song.

Kabuto soon landed on top of a building, and heard the song and recognized it.

"Wait isn't that, the Jersey Club song?" Kabuto said.

As Kirius was attacking one of his attacks sends two vending machines into the air. Kabuto and Madoka saw where those were going to crash into, groups of people evacuating to the emergency shelters.

The people saw the flying debris, not before the Vox Aura hits one of them with a traffic light with baseball moves, and Kabuto smashes through the second one before landed on the ground.

The people around saw the two and were surprised to see both of them some were taking pictures of them, Madoka did her perfect circle motto, two girls from Madoka's school recognized it, before the Vox Aura took off in the air and Kirius and Kabuto followed.

The Vox Aura, Kirius's Ovid, and Kabuto soon fly above the water. Kabuto saw the Vox Rympha flying to them, being chase by Ito's Ovid.

"Isn't that? Hmm, I guess she's working on mastering her fear." Kabuto said, before Kirius Ovid come close to Madoka's Vox, and Ito's Ovid got on top of Lan's Vox and slams his weapon on it.

"Hey!" Kakuto slams on Ito's Ovid, getting him off of the Rympha. "That's no way to treat a princess."

"Damn it! An alley?!" Ito growled.

The Vox Rympha flies past Kabuto, and charges at Ito. Ito materializes a shield to defend, before Lan smashes the noise in the shield. Soon a blue light come appeared around the Rympha, and soon transformed into humanoid form as some of its parts change to blue.

"Just like Mado-chi." Kabuto said.

The Vox Rympha kicks into, the shield which had shattered into pieces. The Rympha soon flies to Madoka, whose Vox was slowly down.

Kirius's sword soon enlarges twice its original size, Madoka stops and turned her Vox around facing Kirius, and when he was attack was about to hit, Lan come to the rescue and catches his sword.

"Damn nice catch girl." Kabuto said.

Lan soon pushed Kirius away, and Ito come to his side before his sword shrank down to its original size.

"Kirius!" Ito said with his voice coming out his machine.

Kabuto soon landed his bike near the Vox Aura's head.

"CLOCK OVER!"

"Engaging both of these Vox units and the small unknown is too much of a risk." Kirius said.

"We'll withdraw for now." Kirius said inside his machine. "And wait for another chance."

"Damn it!" Ito slams his hand on the handle of his cockpit. "This blows!"

Soon the two Ovid units retreated up in the air to the atmosphere.

"Alright their retreating!" Kabuto Zecter cheered.

"Yes, but something tells me this won't be last time we'll see them." Kabuto said.


(Later, now night time)

After landed on the launching deck, Madoka and Lan sits on the floor leaning on each other's back, and Kabuto drives off the Vox Aura and lands on the ground, and soon Kabuto Zecter come off his belt, turning Kabuto back to Souji.

"Hey you two." Souji walked towards them and sits as well. "You did you really great."

"Thanks Souji-nii, and thanks again for helping us out there." Madoka told him.

"It's no problem." Souji then looks at Lan. "And I see you fully mastered your fear."

"Y-Yes, thanks to you and Madoka." Lan smiles as she slightly blushed and looked away. "It's like you said, there is no bravery without fear."

"Hey Lan," Madoka got her attention. "If I didn't agree to pilot the Vox, I don't think I couldn't handle it. Standing helpless on the sidelines, watching Kamogawa being destroyed would have make me crazy. But thanks to this robot, I was able to save my city. So thank you Lan."

"I should be saying that to you." Lan told her, which made Madoka a little confuse. "It was all because of you and Souji Tendou, I was able to master it."

"What are you talking about, master what?" Madoka asked, Lan kept quiet. "Come on Lan, tell me."

"You have it all wrong Madoka." Lan told her. "The robot's name, it isn't the Vox."

"Yeah I know that." Madoka told her before standing up, and looks at the Vox Aura. "Starting today, her name is Midori

"Midori, why?" Lan asked.

"I bet it's because of the color." Souji said before standing up.

"No Souji-nii, it's not just that, this robot and I been through a whole lot together, and that makes her my comrade just like you, and like with Souji-nii and Kabuto Zecter. So I think it's about time to give her a proper name." Madoka explained.

"But still why Midori?" Lan asked.

"What you don't know, Midori is the Japanese word for green." Souji explained.

"Yeah, and I think it's perfect. Listen up Midori I'm counting on ya." Madoka told her machine.

Souji, Kabuto Zecter, and Lan smiles at Madoka. Lan soon had an idea name for the Rympha, before standing up and looks at it.

"I'm counting on you too, okay Orca." Lan told her machine.

"Huh? Why Orca?" Madoka asked, which made Lan turned to Madoka.

"Is it weird?" Lan asked.

"Yeah way." Madoka said.

"Weirder than Midori?" Lan asked.

"She does have point, Mado-chi." Souji said with a little teasing in his tone.

"What you think Midori sounds weird?!" Madoka asked.

"Kind of." Lan said.

"You really think so?" Madoka said before sighing. "I'm telling Orca is weirder. Also Souji-nii, don't call me that with Lan here!"

"No way, Mado-chi~!" Souji said.

"Stop that!" Madoka exclaimed.


(Meanwhile somewhere else)

In a different area of the base was a prison area, and inside one of the cells, was Array after they taken his machine and got him out of it, was sited on the bed hugging his legs.

"An old tale, from ancient times. The giant green demon will rip the heavens, the giant blue demon will devour the stars, and the giant orange demon will spew out darkness." Array said some sort of prayer. "For countless sacrifices they will rule the land feeding off a tented heart. They awaken in the mine and the demons shall rise to not let them lose no matter what."


A girl with long ginger hair, was observing the base on the ocean, by the beach of Kamogawa before standing up.
