AN: Alright, guys, I'm back! And, I feel that it's appropriate to update Blade for a few reasons. One of which is to end the poll regarding the pairing for Daisuke. The winner will be revealed at the end of the story. Now, Showtime!

Chapter 4: Adjusting to a New Life
Hibiki was making her way to back to the academy to spend some time with Miku. After Tsubasa's attack, Hibiki was starting to be real distant from Miku and she wanted to make up for it. She planned to spend the day with her but the only is…she's late.
As she was running, she was remembering something about a few days ago.
(A couple days ago)
The two Symphogear users were fighting Noise on a highway while the three Riders were fighting underneath the highway. As Tsubasa was fighting, she couldn't help but notice that Hibiki was having a little bit of trouble, especially since she has no weapon. Tsubasa made her way to Hibiki.
"Tachibana, you need to focus your energy into your Gear. Once you do, it will react and give you a proper weapon even if you're using a small fragment of it." Tsubasa instructed before more Noise appeared.
She was on her hands before she spun, using her Wight Slayer attack. She then got on her feet and presumed slashing the Noise with her katana.
"Right, Tsubasa!"
Hibiki then looked at her hand and was trying to focus but got nothing. Instead, she just punched a Noise and it only moved back instead of disintegrating. Soon a whole group chased after her with Tsubasa, while mentally chuckling, sighed before helping.
(Present)
Hibiki looked at her hand and groaned a little bit as she thought about why she couldn't get a weapon.
'Maybe I can ask Kanade about this. After all, she was the Gear's last user.' She thought before she finally made it back to her dorm. But just as she was about to place her hand on the door knob, her phone rang. She answered it.
"Hello?"
"We have two Undead sighted. Blade and Leangle are currently engaging them and they could use backup." Genjuro explained.
"Yes, sir." Hibiki sighed before leaving.
(Play Round ZERO~BLADE BRAVE by Nanase Aikawa)
The song starts by colored lights shining on a dark room, revealing Kamen Riders Blade, Chalice, and Leangle who were kneeling. The three then stood up.
The setting soon moves into a similar place and all the major heroes of the story so far are standing on separate platforms with black suits on.
{Tatta hitori kiri no kimi no sonzai ga} The camera zooms in on a few of the characters before zooming in on Daisuke Kenzaki, who took a bite out of an apple he was holding and smiled. Then it moves to Hajime who was kicking a soccer ball around.
{Itsuka sekai no subete kaeru darou} Then it moved to Hibiki who was smiling while doing eating a snack. Then we see Miku trying to juggle. We then see Kanade trying to do a cool pose with her suit while Tsubasa was looking at her with a smile. With Genjuro behind them laughing while Chris had her back turned on them but looked at Hajime.
{Koko ni aru mono wa kibou zetsubou} We soon see Blade, Chalice, and Leangle driving their bikes through a beach. We then see the Symphogear Users walking through a dark room.
{Round Zero hajimatteru} We soon move back to the Riders' room where Blade, Chalice, and Leangle were not far from each other and were next to their bikes. They started practicing their weapons.
{Shiranai to iu tsumi to shirisugiru wana} The two continue practicing their weapons while we move to Hibiki and Tsubasa, in their Symhpogear armor, doing the same.
{Ugokenaku naru mae ni ugokidasou} We then go back towards Blade, Chalice, and Leangle's ride through rocky hills. They soon stopped and the camera moves back to the room with the Riders.
{Kaze ni mekurareta Card} The two practice their weapons while posing. Blade was swinging his Blay Rouzer while Chalice was swing and spinning with his Chalice Arrow and Leangle was twirling and slashing her Leangle Rouzer against the air.
{Uranau you ni warau. Mayowanai hazu mo nai sore demo ashita wo sagase} We move back to their Symphogear room where Hibiki was punching and kicking the air while Tsubasa was slashing the air with her katana.
{Mekurumeku unmei. Kowaresou na jidai ni.} We soon see Daisuke, in front of the apartment, sitting against his bike. The camera soon changes to seeing Blade, Chalice, and Leangle on their ride.
{Kifuda wa kimi no naka togisumasareta yuuki ni shite. BLADE BRAVE! } Blade stops swinging his sword for a brief moment as the logo appeared with Chalice and Leangle standing next to him. The camera sees Hibiki and Tsubasa doing the same before going back to the Riders.
(With Blade and Leangle)
The Boar Undead charged at Blade, who just dodged just in time while Leangle was trying to find a way to bring the Wasp Undead down, considering that she only has one card that she can use.
"Damn it." Leangle said before looking around the vicinity. She was looking for anything she can use before getting an idea. She held her Rouzer like a javelin, aimed, and threw it. The Rouzer hits the Wasp Undead, making it crash on the ground. She caught her Rouzer before she started slashing the Undead.
With Blade, he just dodged the Boar Undead again.
"Ole!" Blade said before the Boar Undead looked at him and roared. It charged at him again and Blade didn't have time to dodge so he blocked it with his sword. He was trying to push the Boar Undead back but it was useless.
The Boar Undead was then punched to the side, but not much. Blade looked around before seeing Hibiki.
"Hibiki!" Blade recognized before the Boar Undead roared again.
"Uh…where's the other?" Hibiki asked as she brought her defense up.
"I…honestly have no clue." Blade answered.
(With Hajime)
"Pay for it! You're the one who bumped into me!" Chris yelled.
"I'm not paying for something that is your fault!" Hajime yelled back as everyone was watching them.
"But it was your fault!"
"No, yours!"
They were too busy arguing that Hajime didn't even notice his phone going off.
(With Tsubasa)
Tsubasa was surprisingly taking a nap while listening to music with her headphones, unaware that her phone was going off.
(With Hibiki and the Riders)
Leangle was slashing the Wasp Undead to no avail. The Wasp Undead tried striking her back with its stinger arm. Leangle dodged it before scanning a card in her Rouzer.
"BLIZZARD!"
Leangle pointed her Rouzer at the Undead, which soon emitted a winter-like mist. The Undead was soon frozen solid. Leangle looked at Blade.
"Blade, can I borrow one of your cards for a second?" Leangle said.
Hibiki was then distracting the Boar undead while Blade tossed Leangle his Slash Card. Leangle caught it and scanned it.
"SLASH!"
"Thank you!" Leangle said before her Rouzer started glowing. She then slashed the ice cube, breaking it and releasing the Undead. The Undead stumbled back before falling down and exploding,
When the explosion faded, she sees the Wasp Undead groaning with its belt buckle opened. Leangle remembered how Blade and Chalice sealed them so she went through her card pouch and pulled out a Blank.
She threw it into the Undead and it got absorbed into it before flying back to Leangle. Leangle caught to see her card as the Two of Clovers with a bee on it with a sharp stinger and it also said Stab Bee.
Leangle smiled for capturing her first Undead before going off to join her comrades. Meanwhile, Hibiki was trying hold the Boar Undead while Blade scanned two of his cards.
"KICK!"
"THUNDER!"
The holograms of the cards appeared before going into Blade as he stabbed his sword in the ground.
"LIGHTNING BLAST!"
Blade jumped up in the air in a sidekick position with his leg surging with electricity. At the last second, the Boar Undead elbowed Hibiki before running away and Hibiki barely dodged the kick.
Blade looked around and offered his hand to Hibiki. Hibiki took it as Blade helped her up.
"You ok?" He asked.
"Yeah, but the Undead…" Hibiki started before Blade patted her on the shoulder.
"Don't worry, he's bound to show up again." Blade said before Leangle appeared.
"You two okay?" She asked.
"Yeah, but the Undead got away." Blade said before he removed his card from his belt and Leangle closed her belt. The two reverted back to Daisuke and Kanade.
Kanade looked at Hibiki, who jus reverted back, stared at her empty hand.
"Still having trouble summoning your weapon?" She asked.
Hibiki nodded.
"Don't worry about it, I had…trouble when I activating it when I first got it."
"Really, what was it like?" Daisuke asked.
"Let's just say that…there are things that I'm not proud of doing." Kanade said as she thought about the experiment that barely made her compatible with Gungnir. "Anyways, should we find a way of tracking the Undead?"
"It wasn't a Royal so it can't assume a human form. If anything, its instincts will force it to come out and we'll be ready." Daisuke said. "But…I guess it won't hurt to try and track it ourselves, if you want."
"Sounds like a plan." Kanade said but Hibiki seemed conflicted.
"What's wrong, Hibiki?' Daisuke asked.
"I promised Miku that I would spend the day with her." Hibiki explained.
"Okay, it's alright if you don't want to come with us." Daisuke said with a smile.
"Really?"
"Yeah, how much trouble can one Undead be?"
(In a nearby alleyway)
The Boar Undead was running before it sees Isaka in front of him.
"Where's the Wasp?" Isaka asked.
"Ndjafoam sdmani Rider." It answered.
"I see…" Isaka said before musing on what happened since being unsealed especially meeting an unlikely ally.
(A few months ago)
The Peacock Undead was fighting the Tiger Undead. It soon appeared that the Tiger Undead was about to win until a fireball knocked her out of place. The Tiger Undead got up and saw who threw it, before leaving.
The Peacock Undead looks behind to see the Albino Joker. The Peacock Undead was ready to defend himself until the Albino Joker reverted back to his human form.
"I do not wish to fight you." Junichi said before the Peacock Undead reverted into Isaka.
"And why should I believe you?"
"If I wanted to seal you, I would've done so by now." Junichi explained.
"Then why would you-?"
"Isn't it normal for events like these to form alliances?" Junichi asked.
"You want to form an alliance with me?" Isaka wondered. "Why?"
"There are people outside the Undead that can pose an actual threat to us and Battle Royale." Junichi said.
"Humans? You must be joking." Isaka said.
Junichi got out his card, placed in his buckle, before putting it on.
"Henshin!" He said before opening it.
"OPEN UP!"
He transformed into Glaive and slashed Isaka, who just transformed into the Peacock Undead. The Peacock Undead tried defending himself but was no match for Glaive's power. The Undead was soon on the floor before Glaive transformed back into Junichi.
"And this is only one of the armors they use. It was a good thing that I stole this three of those belts." Junichi said.
"Alright, you got yourself a deal."The Peacock Undead said before transforming back into Isaka. "What would you have me do?"
Junichi smiled.
(Present)
Ever since then, Isaka became Junichi's right hand man and coordinated the Undead that allied with them. Right now, Isaka wanted to test how strong these Riders and Symphogear users were.
So far, they were good but not good enough to fight him. He even wondered why the Albino joker feared them. But it wasn't for him to decide, he just wanted to test them. Isaka then looked at the Boar Undead.
"For now, let them follow you and fight when you have to. I have to go; I have other business to settle." Isaka said.
(With Hajime)
"You owe one meal!" Chris said as the two were on the sidewalk and they were still arguing.
"If anything, it should be the other way around." Hajime said after regaining his cool attitude. "Is there any reason why you're following me still?"
"Because, I'm not stopping until you apologize for-." Just then Chris's phone range. She answered it. "Hello?"
"…"
"But-!"
"…"
"No, I understand." She then hung up her phone and looked at Hajime. "You got lucky!" She said before she left.
Hajime just sighed before leaving himself. He looks at his phone to see that there was an Undead attack a while ago. While he was worried, he shook it off. The call was a while ago so Daisuke or any of the others must've handled it by now.
From the roof, Isaka was looking at Hajime. Next to him was the Firefly Undead. Isaka looked at the Undead and nodded before he disappeared.
The Undead flew to the ground and started burning everything he could see.
"Undead!" Hajime recognized before he started helping any citizen trying to escape. After helping, Hajime placed his Rouzer on and got his card out.
"Henshin!"
He slid the card through the Rouzer.
"CHANGE!"
Hajime turned into Chalice and slashed the Undead with his bow before the Firefly Undead repelled him off with a fireball. Chalice crashed into a food stand before placing his belt buckle into the bow. As he stood up, the Firefly Undead was slashed in the back by Tsubasa while Chalice fired at it with his bow. The Firefly Undead was then kicked by both Chalice and Tsubasa into a table.
Chalice then looked at Tsubasa.
"Where were you?" Chalice asked.
"I was taking a nap and the next thing I know is that I wake up with civilians running away in fright in my window." Tsubasa explained before they see the Firefly Undead getting up.
"Let's go." Chalice said as he got a card.
"Right." Tsubasa said before she started singing.
(Play Zettō - Ame no Habakiri)
Chalice scanned the card as Tsubasa jumped in the air.
"BIO!"
Plant vines came out of Chalice's bow and were wrapped around the Undead while Tsubasa used her Azure Slash and slashed the Undead and the vines before giving the Undead another slash.
Isaka was watching with a smile as he was recording this while Chris just arrived and was watching from a safe distance.
"So that's Kazanari and Chalice…my enemies." Chris said before starting her observation.
(End Zettō - Ame no Habakiri)
(With Hibiki)
Hibiki placed her hand on the door knob of her dorm and opened it.
"Hibiki, where were you?" Miku asked as the tired Hibiki was on the couch.
"I had to help Daisuke and Kanade with something." Hibiki said. Not the whole truth but not an entire lie at the same time.
"You know, you've been busy with them a lot lately. Same with Hajime and Tsubasa too." Miku noted.
"Uh huh, but this time it's just us two, I promise." Hibiki said before looking at her with a smile.
Miku smiled back.
"Okay, so wanna go the mall later?"
Hibiki nodded back.
"Okay!" She answered with another smile.
(In the 2nd Division Headquarters)
"The Undead that you've been tracking has gone off the grid." Genjuro stated to Daisuke and Kanade before bringing up footage of the Boar Undead leaving. "We do have a few guesses where he might've gone and there have been sightings of weird looking creatures so you two could start somewhere there."
"What about Shiroshi and Tsubasa?" Kanade asked. "What are they doing?"
Soon the monitor showed Chalice and Tsuabsa engaging the Firefly Undead.
"Should we help?" Daisuke asked Genjuro.
Genjuro seemed to think about it before shaking his head.
"Those two seemed to be working along just fine. Let them focus on that Undead while you two and Hibiki find the other." Genjuro instructed before he was about to call Hibiki but was interrupted by Daisuke.
"Actually, just let me and Kanade handle this. After all, this isn't big enough for just three people. If anything, you should place Hibiki on standby just in case of a Noise attack since everyone else is busy with the Undead." Daisuke explained, surprising Kanade.
Genjuro nodded, getting what Daisuke is saying.
"I see, very well then." Genjuro answered before a sheet of paper was printed. He handed it to Daisuke. "This is a list of address of possible creature sightings. Take a look at each one and if it isn't there then report back."
"Yes sir." Kanade said while Daisuke nodded.
"Good." Genjuro said before dismissing the two. Daisuke and Kanade were making their ways toward the bikes.
"So, how come you didn't bring Hibiki into this?" Kanade asked.
"I feel that maybe we should cut her some slack. Ever since what happened with Tsubasa when you became Leangle, I feel like she isn't adjusted to this so easily as me and Hajime have plus she hasn't been able to spend time with her friend Miku so I thought maybe some free time might be good for her. Time to for her to adjust to this and time for her to reconnect with her friend." Daisuke explained before the two made it to the garage.
"You're really caring, huh?" Kanade remarked.
"Well she is my friend too. She's like the little sister that I don't have." Daisuke answered before he and Kanade found their bikes and they got on. They placed on their helmets before Daisuke looked through the list. "Ok, we'll start here since it's only a few blocks away."
"Right behind you." Kanade said before the two drove off into the city.
(With Chalice and Tsubasa)
The two then slashed the Undead and it rolled on the floor. The two charged at it but then the Armadillo Undead appeared and tackled Tsubasa.
"Kazanari!" Chalice called before the Firefly Undead got up and launched fireballs at Chalice. Chalice shook it off before resuming the fight.
Tsubasa kicked the Undead off of her before it roared at her. It transformed into a metallic ball before it charged at her. She dodged as the sphere transformed into the Armadillo Undead.
She used her Azure Slash once again but the Armadillo Undead blocked it with its thick shell. Tsubasa then jumped up to use her One Thousand Tears attack to summon multiple energy swords in the air. When they started raining down, a few pierced its skin but then it transformed into its shelled ball form and rolled around, dodging a majority of the swords in the process.
It then drove itself off a nearby ramp and rammed itself into Tsubasa. Tsuabsa fell and crashed while Chalice crashed on the ground as well with flames coming off his armor. The Undead started approaching them and the two armored warriors looked at each other.
"Switch?" Chalice asked.
"Switch." Tsubasa answered.
The two then switched places started fighting each other's Undead.
Chalice slashed the Armadillo Undead before he started beat it with his fists and kicked it away while Tsubasa was blocking the fireballs from the Firefly Undead with her sword. She was soon close enough for an Azure Slash attack.
The Armadillo Undead went into its shelled form and tried to ram Chalice but he dodged it. Tsuasba sees it and dodged it but the Firefly Undead didn't and got hit. The two Undead were piled against each other and the two armored warriors were facing them.
Chalice got his two cards and scanned them.
"CHOP!"
"TORNADO!"
The holograms of the cards appeared and went into his armor.
"SPINNING WAVE!"
Chalice held his bow out and spun like a tornado while Tsubasa spun with her Wight Slayer attack. The two tornados clashed with the Undead, creating a massive explosion. Chalice and Tsuabsa emerged unscathed while the Undead had their belt buckles opened.
Chalice grabbed two Blanks and threw them at the Undead. They were both absorbed into the cards before flying back to Chalice. He looked at them.
One had a picture of an Armadillo on it in a circular motion and it said Bullet Armadillo with the Two of Diamonds rank on it. The other had a bug on it with a burning engine piston and it said Firefly with the Six of Diamonds rank on it.
Isaka left, seeing what he needed to see and so did Chris. While leaving, Chris had a determined face on.
'So that's Chalice…the Joker Undead.' She thought before she was gone from the scene. She knew about the Undead, Battle Royale, the two Jokers, and the Riders. Chris was also told that the Black Joker disguised himself as Chalice but little does she know, the Black Joker was very far from the scene.
Chalice brought out his Spirit Card and scanned it after placing his belt buckle on.
"SPIRIT!"
An energy field appeared and went through Chalice; reverting him back to Hajime. Hajime stared at the new cards while Tsuabsa reverted back as well.
"These belong with the Garren Deck." Hajime said before placing them away and looking at Tsubasa. "By the way, have we found a suitable user for the other belt?"
Tsuabsa shook her head.
"The Commander has been bringing up potential users but they aren't compatible with the Undead." She explained.
"I see, anyways, we should probably drop these cards off at the command center." Hajime proposed.
(With Glaive)
Glaive has just struck the Joker Undead as it stumbled backwards. The Joker Undead got up and fired an energy orb, which Glaive deflected off his sword as he charged. Glaive then jumped up in the air and slashed the Joker Undead.
The Joker Undead rolled on the ground before he slowly got up and growled at Glaive. It soon tried making a break for it while Glaive was acting calm as he pulled out a card and scanned it along his sword.
"MIGHTY!"
A hologram appeared in front of Glaive as it was soon absorbed into his blade. It started glowing and Glaive ran and slashed him. The Joker Undead's body was surging with electricity before it fell down and exploded.
Glaive turned around to see the Joker Undead on the ground with its belt opened. He took out a Blank and dropped it. It landed…next to the Joker.
Glaive pulled the Joker by the arm.
"You're coming with me." Glaive said. "Finé will want to see you." He explained before dragging the injured Joker through the forest.
(With Hibiki and Miku)
"How does this look?" Miku asked as she was trying on some new clothes. She then looked at Hibiki, who wasn't paying attention. "Hey, Hibiki!" she called.
"Huh?" Hibiki said, looking at Miku.
"Are you okay? You were spacing out." Miku noted.
"Oh, I'm fine, really!" Hibiki said before looking at Miku's clothes. "Those look really good on you!" Hibiki complimented.
Miku seemed to stare at her before smiling at her. "Thank you."
"No problem, I was just spacing out that's all." Hibiki lied. Truth be told, she was thinking about the others. Hibiki was thinking about the Boar Undead and how come she wasn't able to summon a weapon yet. She was starting to wonder if she can keep up with Tsubasa or any of the other Riders.
Miku couldn't help but notice Hibiki's sad face and walked up to her.
"Hibiki, are you sure that everything is alright? I'm here for advice if you want." Miku offered.
Right now, Hibiki really wanted to tell Miku what was going but she just couldn't. She thought about what to say.
"It's nothing, really!" Hibiki defended. "Just thinking on what to get here." She lied, which she hated doing.
'I wonder what the others are doing though.' She wondered.
(With Daisuke and Kanade)
The two stopped their bikes as they arrived at their first stop which was an industrial warehouse. The workers stopped reporting in after a couple disappearances and strange creature sightings from what the note said on their list.
"If any place like this doesn't shout out 'strange' with a capital S then I don't know what does anymore." Kanade said as she and her partner right now stopped their bikes, got off, and took off their helmets.
"C'mon." Daisuke gestured as he and Kanade went in. So far, things looked about normal so the two decided to kill time by talking to each other while they were investigating.
"So, you're from another world, right?" Kanade asked.
"Yeah."
"Is it different from this world?"
"Well other than the Noise, Undead, Symphogear users, and Riders…not much of a difference really." Daisuke answered as he saw a damaged a locker. He looks into it and saw a few bloodstains.
'Definitely on the right track.'
"Hey Kanade, check this out." Daisuke called, prompting Kanade to come. She soon examined the locker with him. "Undead or Noise?"
"Definitely Undead, Noise don't leave behind blood." Kanade confirmed before she and Daisuke examined the place further. The two then went back to their other talk.
"So, how did you meet Tsubasa or got into this?" Daisuke asked.
Kanade then thought about to word her answer since it wasn't exactly one of her finest moments.
"Well, it started out like this…"
(Years ago)
Kanade was in a restraint jacket in some sort of interrogation room. In front of her were a group of people and among them were a certain redhead man and a blue haired girl.
"Let me go, damn it!" Kanade demanded as she was fighting her restraint jacket. "Let me out!"
"Is this the girl from the report?" Genjuro asked.
"Kanade Amou, fourteen years old. She's the sole survivor of the Noise attack on the Relic excavation team on Mt. Minakami in Nagano." A man explained as Tsubasa took cover behind her uncle out of fear of Kanade. "It was a holiday, so they probably brought their families to the excavation site, where they were subsequently attacked." He finished.
"You fight the Noise, right?" Kanade asked. "Then give me weapons! Give me the power to destroy them!" She lost her parents and sister. She had nothing else to lose.
Genjuro stared at her.
"It must be painful, but can you share what you remember from the Noise attack?" Genjuro asked as he knelt down to Kanade's eye level. "We will avenge your family." He assured.
"Don't talk nonsense, old man! Only I can avenge my family!" She answered with anger. "Let me kill the Noise!"
Genjuro's face remained blanked.
"Even if…you damn yourself to Hell?" He asked.
Kanade's angry face did not change one bit.
"If I can kill them all, I'll gladly go to Hell!" She didn't care much about anything at this point. The only thing that mattered was revenge.
Tsubasa was a little more intimidated by her but Genjuro patted Kanade's head before hugging her.
Kanade was taken back a little bit but she only thought of that as a yes.
(Present)
Daisuke seemed surprised.
"Wow…that was…something else." Daisuke finally remarked after a few moments of silence.
"Yeah, not one of my finest moments." Kanade sighed. "Looking back on it, all I could think about was revenge and avenging my family. And I went so far to do it too. Some would've even called me crazy back then." Kanade said before remembering the experiment.
"Sorry about that. I didn't mean to bring up bad memories." Daisuke said.
"No, it's okay." Kanade assured. "It feels nice just to get it off my chest. Though it is strange how you reacted completely fine with it."
"Well, I sort of understand what it's like to lose your family." Daisuke said. "If it was me in that chair, I probably would've reacted the same way."
"Yeah, but I doubt you would've gone as far as I did." Kanade said.
"Why?" Daisuke asked as the two were venturing through the warehouse.
"Well…"
(Years ago in a lab)
Gungnir was secured nearby as Kanade was strapped on a table with doctors on standby. Genjuro, Tsubasa, and Sakurai were watching through a window.
"In order for me to fight Noise, I had to undergo training and repeated conditioning with drugs, in attempt to harmonize with Relic no. 3, Gungnir." Kanade explained.
The doctors had gotten two vials of some sort of chemical ready before injecting it into Kanade. She screamed in intense pain but the Relic wasn't reacting.
Genjuro clenched his fist before nodding at Sakurai. She nodded back.
"Despite the treatment, I was given. My body still wasn't compatible. And to make it so, cost time and resources."
Kanade broke free of her restraints and grabbed another injection. She aimed it at her neck.
"Don't!" Genjuro warned.
"Come on, it wasn't that much." Kanade said with a creepy smile before injecting it. Everyone was surprised especially Tsubasa. "Let's keep the party going, Miss Ryoko."
Sakurai remained taken back until the monitors started acting up.
"The harmonization coefficient is increasing rapidly! It broke through the first and second stages! Is she going for the third stage now!?"
Kanade appeared to be choking on something. It looked like she was about to puke and held it in. But she couldn't and puked…blood.
As Kanade was on her knees puking blood, Genjuro got on the intercom.
"What are you doing!? Get the neutralizing agent!" He ordered.
The doctors started scattering everywhere looking for it.
"Flush her system and force the drug out!
Meanwhile Kanade felt something awakening in her and a force pushed all the doctors away while everyone else was extremely surprised. She placed her bloody hand on the window, scaring Tsubasa a bit as she stood up.
"It's mine!" Kanade remarked before Gungnir started glowing.
"Croitzall Ronzell Gungnir zillz." Kanade sang before her Symphogear armor appeared on her. "Now I can fight them with this power…my Symphogear!"
(Present)
"Wow, you really were insane back then. No offense." Daisuke said with Kanade chuckling.
"None taken. Actually a part of me was glad that Gungnir was off of me after the concert."
"Why?"
"The drug that my body took required regular doses but I was sick of taking them so I got it out of my system."
"But didn't you need that to use Gungnir?"
Kanade nodded.
"Without the drug and along with my low compatibility, Gungnir was killing me."
"So if it wasn't for me and Hajime-." Daisuke started.
"I would've died regardless." Kanade finished before looking at him. "So I suppose I should thank you and Shiroshi for everything."
Kanade then felt a pat on her back and looked to see a smiling Daisuke.
"It's not a problem, we were just helping out as best we could. At least, you're using a system that doesn't require to puke blood." He joked.
Kanade laughed back before they heard noise deeper inside. Their serious faces were on.
"Let's go."
"Right."
They went further in to find a bunch of barrels knocked over. They soon found a worker's helmet. Daisuke picked it up and saw that the inside was bloody.
"I don't like the looks of this." Kanade said before the Boar Undead suddenly appeared as it charged at them. The two were dodging its strikes before looking at Kanade.
"Oh no you don't!" Daisuke said before trying to bear tackle it but the Undead pushed him off. It tried striking him before Daisuke dodged it. He then kicked the Undead but the Boar Undead punched him and grabbed him before throwing him into a pile of barrels.
"Daisuke!" Kanade called before trying to grab the Undead from behind but it flipped her over. She moved out of the way when the Undead was about to punch her. Daisuke then found a fire extinguisher and aimed it at the Boar Undead.
"Taste this!" Daisuke said before spraying foam on the monster. The Undead was pushed back. "Kanade!"
"Right!" The two got their buckles out and placed their cards in them before placing the devices on their waists. Their belts formed and the noises rang out as they did their poses.
"Henshin!"
Daisuke flipped the panel while Kanade opened her buckle.
"TURN UP!"
"OPEN UP!"
Their energy fields appeared and the two ran through them, coming out as Blade and Leangle.
The two tried slashing the Undead but it just pushed them off. It then charged at them with power and the two Riders barely dodged it in time. The Boar Undead quickly turned around and tried again with the Rider trying to block it with their weapons.
They were locked in and tried to push the Boar Undead back but it was too strong and broke through their defense. The Riders were rolling on the floor before getting up.
"Kisama!" Blade called before charging at it with his sword and slashing it a few times. It soon tried blocking the sword with its arm and the two were locked in. "Leangle!" Blade called.
"Right!" Leangle said before drawing her new card out and scanning it.
"STAB!"
The hologram went into her weapon, making it sharper than before. She then jumped on and off Blade's shoulder before stabbing the Boar Undead. The Boar undead flew on the floor with smoking armor before it got up. Leangle's Rouzer returned to normal but she and Blade continuously kept slashing the Boar Undead.
The Boar Undead stumbled back before escaping.
"Hey, get back here!" Blade called before he and Leangle started following it. They soon made it outside to see the Boar Undead escaping on foot but was really fast. The two quickly got on their bikes before the chase begins.
It only took a matter of time before they caught up to the monster and tried slashing it. But the Boar Undead nearly pushed them off the road.
"Okay, then let's play rough!" Blade said before scanning the card on his bike.
"THUNDER!"
Blade's bike started surging with electricity before it moved behind and it rammed the Boar Undead. Unknown to them, they were heading for an oncoming building.
(With Hibiki and Miku)
"Oh, that meal was great!" Hibiki said as she and Miku had just gotten out of the food court and were almost ready to go home.
"Now then, anything that you want to do before we leave?" Miku asked.
"Well-."
*CRASH!*
They heard a crash and people seemed to check to see that something broke through the wall. The smoke cleared to reveal Blade and the downed Boar Undead. Leangle stopped her bike and went through the hole and the Boar Undead tried to escape but soon multiple Noise appeared.
"Noise!" Blade recognized before the crowd started running away. Miku and Hibiki tried to get away but they lost each other in the crowd. Hibiki used the opportunity to separate herself from the crowd by running in the opposite direction.
"Balwisyall nescell Gungnir tron." Hibiki sang before she was dawned in her Symphogear armor.
Blade and Leangle were dealing with the Noise while the Boar Undead was trying to get away.
"Hey!" Blade noticed before trying to chase the Boar Undead. Noise then spawned right between them. "Damn it!" Blade said as he readied his sword but the Noise were punched away by Hibiki.
Hibiki looked at Daisuke.
"Hibiki!" They soon turned to the fleeing Boar Undead. Blade then looked at Hibiki. "Ready for some revenge?"
"I'll do my best." Hibiki said before the two made their way towards the Undead.
While Leangle was having trouble with the amount of Noise but when one appeared in front of her, Chalice appeared and slashed it away. Another spawned behind them which Tsubasa has just taken care of.
The three faced each other.
"Where were you guys?"
"We were talking to Genjuro about the Garren Buckle…"
(A couple hours ago)
"Most of the potential candidates here are not compatible with the Change Ace." Genjuro said before looking at the two new cards for the Garren Deck.
"What about females? The Change Ace Spider was compatible with Kanade." Tsuabsa pointed out.
"We've tried that as well, but still no match. For now, we're keeping a close eye on the deck and buckle." Genjuro explained. "Anyways, Daisuke and Kanade are currently investigating a possible Undead sighting. Bring the monitor up."
When the monitor was pulled up, they see Blade ramming the Boar Undead.
"It doesn't look that bad for us to help too." Hajime said before Noise appeared in the mall. Genjuro then looked at them.
"Go and assist however you can!" He ordered before Hajime and Tsubasa left.
(Present)
"We didn't find anyone for Garren yet?" Leangle asked before the Noise started to circle them.
"We can talk about this later." Chalice said before the three were ready to defend themselves. As they were fighting, Chris was watching them from a distance especially keeping her eye on Chalice.
(With Blade and Hibiki)
The two managed to catch the Boar Undead alone. The Boar Undead just stopped and look at them before roaring.
"Let's go!" Blade said.
"Right!" Hibiki said, not wanting to screw up as before.
The two charged and Blade slashed the Boar Undead while Hibiki tried punching it since it was the closest thing to a weapon.
The Boar Undead was taken back a bit before trying to punch them. Hibiki blocked it with her fists while Blade jumped and slashed the Undead. And Hibiki used the opportunity to kick it, but it didn't go that far. Blade thought it was far enough before slashing it a few times while dodging its hits.
The Boar Undead tried running away again but was held by Hibiki.
"Not again!" She said. "Daisuke, get him now while I can!"
Blade nodded and scanned his two cards.
"KICK!"
"THUNDER!"
The holograms of the cards appeared before going into Blade as he stabbed his sword in the ground.
"LIGHTNING BLAST!"
Blade jumped up in the air in a sidekick position with his leg surging with electricity. The Boar Undead tried elbowing Hibiki again like last time but Hibiki only withstood its attack before jumping out of the way at the last second for Blade's kick to collide with the Undead.
Hibiki saw the Undead flew back. It stood with electricity surging through its body before it fell down and exploded.
Blade withdrew a Blank card and saw the Undead's belt opened. Blade threw it and the Boar Undead was sucked into it. It flew back to Blade and he looked at it. It had a picture of an armored boar that said Tackle Boar with the rank, Four of Spades on it.
The Peacock Undead was watching from a distance before flying off.
(Later outside)
Miku was looking for Hibiki until she heard a familiar voice.
"Miku!"
Miku turned to see Hibiki, whom she hugged.
"Oh thank goodness! I thought I lost you or any of the Noise-."
Hibiki smiled.
"Hey, I'm a very stubborn person to die." Hibiki assured. "What about you? Are you okay?"
"Nothing serious. So, can we go home now?" Miku asked with Hibiki smiling.
"Sure."
Daisuke was watching them from a distance before smiling and driving off on his bike.
(In a mansion far from the city)
The Joker Undead was trying to free itself from the restraints it was placed under while Junichi and a blonde woman were looking at it.
"So that's your brother?" The woman asked.
"In a matter of speaking, Finé." Junichi said. "As long as the girl doesn't see him, she'll keep assuming Chalice is the Joker."
"And by the time she finds out the truth, it'll be too late." Finé said before pressing a button. The Joker Undead stopped as it felt energy being pulled away from him.
Next Time on Blade!
Hibiki: I'm useless, aren't I?
Chris: You're going to use your Swan Song!?
Hibiki & Leangle: Tsubasa!
?: Henshin!
TURN UP!
Garren hold his gun and is ready for action.
(Omake: Kamen Rider Poker Battle II)
Blade, Leangle, and Chalice were playing poker with Kamen Rider Odin. Odin looks at his hand and sees that the cards he has were no good. He shook his head in disappointment.
It was time to show their hands.
"Flush." Leangle showed.
"Straight." Chalice showed.
"Full house." Blade showed.
Odin, however, got his Time Vent Card out and placed it in his Visor.
"TIME VENT!"
(A few minutes ago)
The Riders were playing their poker game until…
"Am I the only one that feel Déjà vu for some reason?" Blade asked.
"Actually…I feel it too." Chalice admitted.
"Same here." Leangle admitted.
"I'm sure it was nothing. Can we get back to the game?" Odin asked seeing that he has a better hand now.
