Chapter 3: The Secret Treasure

I jumped towards Zer0, he wasn't the type to team with someone. Zer0 acknowledged I was there and turned around. His brother, 0ne, wasn't present.

"So it looks like Gem is here too. And I thought this world would give me a chance to rule over humans!" He laughed.

"Zer0! What are you doing here! You aren't the type to team with someone!" I yelled as a group of monsters blocked my path to Zer0.

"Stop acting like you know me! Hen-Shin!" he yelled, putting on the Gem Driver and inserting the Amethyst Tab. Rock music played from his driver and purple crystal shards attached to him. He flipped the pickaxe like switch and transformed, "Break! Amethyst! Wild Hunter!". He summoned his Digger Staff and with one mighty strike, he destroyed the monsters and chuckled.

"Transform already, this time there isn't any interference.". I strapped the Gem Driver on and put the Emerald Tab in, Chinese music played loudly, green crystal shards attached to me and I flipped the pickaxe switch. "Break! Emerald! Heavy Smasher!". I raised my Miner Blade and turned it to Axe Mode. I clashed with Zer0, he is tough but I had to prevail. I struck Zer0 in the chest knocking him over, but cyborgs barely feel pain so he got up and kicked me down. Zer0 came close but Royal kicked him back.

"So you choose to wreak havoc on my land?! Not by a longshot!" Royale draws out both his Caste Calibers and slash at Zer0. Zer0 stumbled backwards, yet he still felt no pain.

"We got a tough one huh." Royale spun around and the cloths on his sabers stretched out and grabbed Zer0 and they lifted him into the air and slammed him against the floor. Zer0 tried to break the cloth but it was of no use.

"This is Spirit Cloth. It was woven together by 10,000 years of Haize souls. No matter what you do, you can never break free." Royale threw Zer0 against the tower wall. He then removed his Caste Figure from his belt, and connected it to the bottom of the saber. "Trial By The Saber! Extreme Danger!"

"Saber Strike!" Royale slashes towards the wall at the slash marks impact upon Zer0's body. Yet, Zer0 rises once again significantly weakened.

"Stubborn Cyborg." Royale extends his Spirit Hold and it wraps his body tight. He then launches him far off into the distance.

"Hurry. I sense Locke is somewhere within these walls."

I looked around and noticed, Zer0 wasn't in the spot Royale threw him at. Royale and I run out of their and went back to the castle. I arrive there with Royale, I then remember I never asked for his name.

"Hey um...I never got your name back there. Also what were those creatures with Zer0?"

"Those creatures, they are the Haize. Creatures that prey on the knight and have no sense of order or chaos. They eat the souls of the kingdoms they destroy, and use them to power their own castle, Haize Fortress. The generals that control the chaos, are Locke, Machiavelli, and Kant. They each hold a unique sense of thought. No one ever decides on anything, so they need to take control of their own sides of the fight. Their king, lies shrouded in mystery."

"A name… that is one thing that I wish I had." Royale dashes into the tower and begins looking around for an important object.

"Where is it?! It can't be that they stole it!" "Gem, the roof. It's the only option.".

I nod, I rush up the wooden stairs and see a box covered in gold.

"Hey Royale, is this what you're looking for?" But as I said that a shadowy figure came down and grabbed the box. Royale came up saw the man.

"Return it! That's my family!"

"King. So you interfere once more."

"Locke. I have no intention of listening to your games. Besides, you're the only one interfering here. You have something of mine, and I will take it back."

"Foolish king. You see you no longer have a place in this kingdom. Why do you rule?"

"I don't need to answer to you!"

Royale rushed towards Locke, but a swarm of Haize blocked his path. Royale tries to fight them off, but he is outnumbered. Suddenly, a sound comes out from nowhere. "Caste of the Siege! The Tears of My Rage!" Siege slashes at the entire army with his lance and dissipates them all in one swift slash.

"Siege! You came."

"I can't have anyone else kill you unless it's by my hand. I also brought some help."

Kamen Rider Crystal appears and the flash of her light bathes the entire room.

"Tatsuya, I came as soon as Kasumi called and told me you were missing, I went searching and then I ended up here." Crystal tried to kick Locke but he dodged it and snapped his fingers, two monster appeared.

"What! Oxidans? How could he summon them?!". An Ape and Kong Oxidan charged at Crystal and Siege. Royale attached his driver and Tatsuya attached his.

"Break! Cobalt! Swift Attacker!"

"Summon! Caste Royale! The Crest of The King! The Royalty Supreme!".

Gem and Royale took Kong while Siege and Crystal took Ape. Crystal summoned her weapon, the Break Arts in Tonfa Mode. Crystal jumped up and struck the Ape Oxidan, Siege came from behind and thrusted him into a wall with his Joust Lance. Gem striked Kong with his Miner Blade and Royale knocked him back with his Spirit Hold. Crystal flipped the pickaxe like switch on her driver,

"Shatter! Alexandrite! Rider Finish!".

Crystal threw her tonfas and they hit Ape making him stuck to the side of the cliff. Siege then jumped in the air rider kicked Ape, ending him. Gem put his Miner Blade in gun mode and shot the Ape Oxidan. Zer0 walked towards Locke,

"You can...summon Oxidans?" Zer0 said. Locke smirked.

"I can do many things. I was able to teleport you here and I saved your life.", Zer0 got enraged.

"I didn't need saving! I just didn't know how to fight that Royale guy, he did inflict a little bit of damage though." Zer0 looked to the side at Crystal and Siege.

"Zer0, do you plan on betraying me?" Locke asked.

"Of course not! I want to take the power from this world and make a new. A world without humans, a world where people fight, a world where it's kill or be killed!". Locke grinned.

"Well then, we are finished here, we got what we need." Gem looked at Locke and Zer0.

"Stop them before they escape!". The four riders rushed in together, Locke snapped his fingers and another Oxidan appeared.

"Go wild." Locke said as Zer0 and him walked away.

The human wore a black jacket with ripped jeans, his eyes glowed a blood red as he transformed into the Chimera Oxidan. Chimera super sped around and attacked all four riders at once knocking them down.

"So...fast!" Gem said.

Chimera stopped in front of them and shot lightning out his hands, it hit the four knocking them back into their human forms. Chimera shot lasers at their gear turning it to rust.

"My Gem Driver! It's rusted!" Ari yelled.

The Chimera Oxidan turned back to his human form and ran off.

(That was a dark day for us, but it ended up giving us a golden ray of hope, you could even say it was purple)
