6.0: The Jabberwocky
"Yes, Indeed, Alan Smith. And Today Is The Day You All Will Die And I Will Go Free!" a menacing voice bellowed.
Alan groaned, "I hate it when disembodied voices act all high and mighty..."
"What was that?" Moka asked as the voice had seemingly come from everywhere at once.
"Our delightful host," stated Leon sarcastically as he gripped his Zanpakuto's hilt and began to draw the steel out.
"Very Astute, Shinigami." A dark figure then descended upon the floating plateau. His landing caused the canyon and the mountains to shake, as if he was heavier than he seemed. A dark miasma covered him like a shadowy mist which revealed none of his features save for a pair of glowing red eyes which radiated with nothing but malevolence. "I Have Been Waiting For This Day For A Long Time," claimed the dark stranger.
"Well, you'll just have to keep waiting!" Alan shot back. "Let go of my TARDIS! She really doesn't like the dark!"
"And Why Would I Want To Release Your Exquisite Machine When It Is My Ticket Out Of Here?" questioned the dark stranger.
"Because it will be more beneficial for your health if you did!" Leon drew his Zanpakuto and used Shunpo to cut the distance. The dark figure had been anticipating Leon's assault and parried the blade with his own. There was a violent clash of steel against steel and a bright explosion of sparks as the swords connected.
Shinichi (KRS) was taken aback not by the speed of Leon's attack, but by the dark stranger's sword. He would never forget that sword in a million years and he subconsciously put his hand against his chest, recalling a phantom pain. Even Alan recognized the sword that the dark stranger had used to parry Leon's blow. The blade was midnight black in the middle while the edges were blood red and there were gemstones in the middle of the blade and there were saw-like teeth in the middle of the edges. There was a dragon head that gripped the base of the blade with two fang-shaped prongs on the sides of the mouth. The hand guard had a wing design with spikes on the top of the hand-guard and the handle was long. The handgrip was in a scale-like pattern, but were blood red mixed with black and bone white. The pommel was a Dragon claw grasping a human skull that had the mouth open in a scream and had two gems for eyes and the middle of the hand guard had a blood red eye with a black slit in the centre that was glowing in malevolent fire.
"Death Fang," Shinichi (KRS) and Alan identified, whispering the demonic sword's name.
A blast of dark miasma sent Leon flying backwards and he cried out before he landed near his friend's feet. "Dammit," Leon grunted as he got back up. "He hits hard."
"Hey!" Shinichi (KRS) shouted, "How the hell do you have Death Fang!? I destroyed it!"
"You know that sword?" Yuji asked.
"An old enemy of ours wielded it," said Alan. "Our Shinichi was the one who finished him off."
"So, You Remember Death Fang. Well, He Also Remembers You," said the dark stranger.
"Who are you?" Alan asked. With a sweep of his arm, the dark miasma around the dark stranger dispersed and he revealed himself in his full glory. He was six feet tall and clad head to toe in dark, demonic armor meant to terrify and intimidate those who saw him. Spikes covered the pauldrons, gauntlets and greaves and he had sharp claws equipped to his fingers. On his upper arms and thighs were bare of armor, covered only in a blood red material which looked like leather or rubber. The helmet was disturbing to look at as it appeared to be modeled after a horrifying insect-like creature borne from the depths of Hell. It had sharp mandibles and was skull like with purple compound eyes. Extending from the brow to curve over the head was a pair of horn-like antennae. His chestplate resembled a dragon's skull with ribs wrapped around his torso. Finally, he wore a black cloak that was tattered with some blood stains on them.
"You May Call Me 'Death Rider Chorvax'," the now identified Death Rider introduced himself. He had named himself after the owner of the fang used to forge the Death Fang. "And This Is My Army." He snapped his fingers and a dimensional rift curtain rose behind Chorvax before it collapsed, revealing an army of armed Reptiloids standing behind him.
"Crap, these guys again," said Yuji as he saw the Reptiloid soldiers. Chorvax's army was armed and aiming to kill them. All it would take was one command.
Alan spoke, "Hey, Chorvax. I just got one question: were you the one who did all this?"
"Are You Asking If I Am Responsible For The State of This Realm?" Chorvax questioned.
"Yes."
"Yes."
"And you're looking to expand."
"Indeed." Chorvax then snapped his fingers and suddenly Rena, Alan, Moka, Lina, Yuji and Leon were trapped in individual black boxes of dark energy.
"Hey!" Yuji shouted as he banged on his prison. "Let us out!"
"Let them go!" the Shinichi's demanded.
"I Will, But Their Lives Are In Your Hands," said Chorvax as his Reptiloid soldiers went to guard the black boxes and their prisoners. "Here Is My Challenge: If You Wish To Save Your Friends, Then Fight! You Must Fight To The Death So That They Will Survive!"
"And if we refuse?" Shinichi (KRS) questioned. Chorvax made a gesture and the boxes started to shrink, forcing the prisoners down to their knees. "OK! OK! Stop!" The boxes stopped shrinking.
"This...is not...comfortable..." grunted Lina as she was kneeling in a small space.
"My ring doesn't even work," Alan grumbled. Even his own super-strength and other abilities were being nullified by the dark box he was in. "I hate magic."
"You said it, Partner," said Bazel.
Shinichi (KRS) advanced on Chorvax to teach him a lesson when Shinichi (SV) held the tip of his Laser Saber threateningly at him, "So, this is what you've decided?" Shinichi (KRS) commented.
Shinichi (SV) answered, "I won't let any of them die."
"Then I guess neither of us has a choice," said Shinichi (KRS).
"Yes, it's time to pick up where we left off," said Showa (SV)
"One Shall Stand And One Shall Fall! And To The Winner Goes The Spoils!" declared Chorvax. "FIGHT!"
"Let's Ride: Showa!/Henshin!" the identical Riders shouted as they transformed in unison. Chorvax's army formed a circle around the two combatants as they stared each other down. Showa (SV) had his Laser Saber gripped tightly as Showa (KRS) wielded his signature Higurashi no Yaiba. The two needed no more provocation before charging at each other with furious battle-cries.
Moka and Rena shouted at the two Riders to stop but their pleas were ignored as they clashed violently. Both Showa's were the same, no matter how much they tried to deny it. Both of them had their lives ruined by GIN-SHOCKER, had been twisted and corrupted by death and destruction, and done many horrible things. They had both been used as puppets by an evil organization to further their selfish goals. More death and destruction followed until they broke away from the organization. As a result, they found friends and love.
They were the same when they fought as well. The two of them may want to deny their similarities due to self-loathing, but ultimately the two Riders would fight for their loved ones, even kill to protect the ones they loved. The only difference was that one was older and able to move on and put his past behind him while the other was filled with anger and thoughts of revenge over the things done to him and the things he'd been forced to do. The clash of blades intensified as sparks continued to fly and the two of them aimed to kill each other to save the ones trapped by Chorvax.
Lina was screaming for the fighting to stop, that they should work together to fight Chorvax instead. Unfortunately, she could do nothing else as they fought. Their history with her was the same as her death was what brought about their defection. Were their fates so similar that their lives could never know peace? Were the two of them meant to be forever locked in a cycle of violence? Was this the destiny that they couldn't avoid. Shinichi (SV) had taught Lina that she could forge her own path and she had. She was grateful and had repaid him for showing her the right path. Now, she wanted to save them both from going down a dark path.
Alan was trying to smash his way out of his prison. He used his fist, his ring, and his Sonic Screwdriver but nothing worked. All he could do was watch as his brother and his brother's double battled it out to save them from Chorvax's wrath. This caused Alan to look at Chorvax with disgust. The Death Rider was amused by the death battle happening before him. Alan knew the way these sort of villains operated. He had no reason to let them go. Once the Showa's were dead. He'd killed them and take the TARDIS so he could spread his army all over the Multiverse. Sure, he could've done that without the TARDIS, but the machine could take him to any dimension and give him limitless access to time and space. That was a power nobody could resist and it was a power Alan couldn't allow Chorvax to gain.
Yuji tried to give his cousin an order to stop and fight Chorvax, but his words reached deaf ears. Back when he first met his cousin, he was unaware of their connection or familial ties. Once he knew, he wanted to bond with him and they had. Yuji had also given Shinichi (SV) a new purpose as the Vongola Storm Guardian and 2nd in Command of the Vongola Famiglia. Yuji was also like a brother to Shinichi (SV), looking out for him and keeping him out of trouble. Yuji had even surrendered himself to GIN-SHOCKER so that Shinichi (SV) wouldn't need to suffer alone. His cousin was still just a kid, and so full of anger and desires for vengeance. Yuji just wanted to help steer him in the right path. This, however, wasn't he right path.
Leon watched with a scowl. He hated being trapped but the cubic prison was unbreakable like a high level Kido. However, there was little he could do except to figure a way out of the trap they were in. Then, he'd go up to both Shinichi's and smack them upside the head for making the girls cry, again.
Showa (KRS) managed to disarm Showa (SV) before slashing him across the chest to send him tumbling. The force of the blow caused his transformation to cancel out. Shinichi (SV) swiftly drew out his Vulcan Shooter and fired a shot to disarm his opponent. Putting his gun away, he rushed at Showa (KRS). Now that they were both disarmed, the two began to fight bare-handed and began raining down blow after blow upon each other. Each punch and kick thrown landed on their target and they continued to fight violently and ferociously. Their captive audience could only watch in horror as they witnessed this happening. Chorvax on the other hand was enjoying the show.
A cross-counter broke the two apart and sent them sliding backwards. Showa (SV) recovered quickly and drew his Vulcan Shooter. He fired multiple shots that caused enough damage to cancel out Shinichi's (KRS) own transformation, leaving him without any protection. Shinichi (SV) pulled the trigger to release the killing shot. However, quick as a flash, Shinichi (KRS) drew out his own Showa-Blaster and fired as well. Both shots hit their marks and as a result the two of them fell.
"SHINICHI-KUN!" Moka screamed.
"NO! SHIN-KUN!" Rena screamed.
Yuji was speechless as was Alan. Lina began to sob as Leon gritted his teeth in anger at what they had just witnessed. A fight to the death had no winners when both sides perished.
Chorvax laughed and cheered, "Stupendous! It Has Been A Long Time Since I've Witnessed A Death Battle As Exciting As That!" To him, the fight had only been a source of entertainment and nothing more. It was just sickening.
"How dare you!?" shouted Rena in outrage.
"How could you enjoy something like that!?" demanded Moka in disgust.
"Well, What Do You Expect? I've Had Nothing To Do In A Long Time and I Needed The Entertainment. Do You Know How Difficult It Is To Find Good Entertainment After Destroying An Entire Universe? Very, Because There Is Not A Whole Lot To Do. Now, It's Time For Me To Claim My Prize," said Chorvax. "Oh, And You All Are Free To Go, As Promised." Chorvax made the boxes disappear. "But I Will Be Taking The TARDIS."
"There's no way the TARDIS will obey you, you murderer," Alan growled, his fists clenched.
"I Can Be Very Persuasive," said Chorvax. "Now, You All Really Should Make Yourselves At Home While My Army And I Launch An Assault On The Entire Multiverse. Enjoy The Last Day Of Your Lives Because This Is The Day When All Of Reality Ends." He approached Alan and held his hand out, "The TARDIS Key." Alan had no choice but to surrender the TARDIS key which he handed to Chorvax. "Smart Move. You Know How Pointless It Is To Fight Me."
"Actually, I only gave it to you without a fuss because I know I'll be getting it back," said Alan. Chorvax looked at him strangely before...
BANG!
A shot knocked the TARDIS key out of Chorvax's hand and it was caught by Alan. Several more shots sent Chorvax staggering back.
"See?" Alan said smugly before he punched Chorvax with enough force to send the Death Rider flying. He went tumbling only stopping near his army who just stood there and watched. Chorvax grunted and picked himself up and looked stunned as both Shinichi's were standing, alive, with their sidearms aimed at him.
"How Are Either Of You Alive!? I Saw You Kill Each Other!" shouted Chorvax.
"Oh, you mean just now?" Shinichi (KRS) said as he put his gun away. "That shot was just a stunner."
"Mine too," said Shinichi (SV) as he put his own gun away.
Shinichi (KRS) finished. "It's all thanks to this, really." He flipped open the leather card holder which held the blank Psychic Paper. "When travelling with Alan, it's always a good idea to have some Psychic Paper handy so I used mine to give Shinichi a message."
"When Was This!?" demanded Chorvax.
"Around the time you were threatening to kill our friends." said Shinichi (SV). He remembered Shinichi (KRS) flashing him the Psychic Paper when Chorvax wasn't looking.
"I Will, But Their Lives Are In Your Hands," said Chorvax as his Reptiloid soldiers went to guard the black boxes and their prisoners. "Here Is My Challenge: If You Wish To Save Your Friends, then Fight! You Must Fight To The Death So That They Will Survive!"
"And if we refuse?" Shinichi (KRS) questioned. He subtly nudged Shinichi (SV) and gestured for him to look down. Shinichi (SV) did and saw the open card holder with the Psychic Paper in it. There was something written on the Psychic Paper and it read, "Make it look good."
"You Planned All this On The Spot!?"
"Exactly, and this is what you get for underestimating us," said Shinichi (KRS).
"You've got pissed off Riders," said Alan. "And me."
"You jerk!" Yuji punched his cousin on the arm. "You made me think you were dead!"
"Sorry," Shinichi (SV) apologized as he rubbed his arm. "I had to make it look good." Moka and Lina then took turns slapping him. "Ow! Girls!"
"Shinichi, it's not nice to make a girl cry," said Lina in disapproval.
"That's right," Moka frowned before smiling and hugging him. "Oh, I'm so glad you're alive."
"Aren't You People Forgetting Something?" asked Chorvax. "I Have An Army." He gestured to his troops.
"You might have an army, but you're actually facing the most powerful team here," said Alan. "And you made a mistake of provoking us."
"That's right," said Shinichi (SV). "I mean, why did you have us switch places and then bring us here?"
"What Do You Mean?" Chorvax asked in confusion.
"Don't bother denying it," Shinichi (KRS) said. "You brought us here so we could kill each other."
"It Was Not I Who Caused You Both To Switch Places Nor Was I The One Who Brought You Here," said Chorvax.
"What?" the Shinichi's asked together.
"Wait, you're not the one who brought them here?" Yuji asked in confusion.
"When Both Of Them Fell Into My Realm, I Thought It Was Just My Good Fortune. I Thought a Dimensional Rift Caught Them And Dropped Them Here. Then All I Had To Do Was To Increase Their Aggression," said Chorvax.
"You wanted them to destroy each other. That's why you had them fight. You wanted them use their powers on each other and create a feedback loop that could cause irreparable damage to the space-time continuum! Neither are meant to exist in the same place at the same time because of the nature of their abilities!" Alan said.
"What?" Lina asked.
"They clash and everything goes boom," Leon translated.
"All Of That Is True, Except I Didn't Have Anything To Do With Both Of Them Arriving Here," claimed Chorvax.
"But weren't you the one who asked us those riddles?" the Shinichis asked then glared at each other for speaking in unison.
"Actually, that would be my doing," said a familiar voice. Everyone turned and looked to see a young man who'd appeared out of nowhere. Leon frowned. He hadn't even sensed his presence. "Bonjour!" he waved. He had fair skin and dark hair that was tinted green and tied at the base of his head into a short ponytail. He also wore a black fedora over his head. His left eye was blue and his right eye was red; he was heterochromatic. He also wore a black blazer with matching pants that had white pinstripes over a white shirt with a red tie. On his feet were black leather shoes and he was shouldering an umbrella.
"You're the one who asked us those riddles," said Shinichi (SV), recognizing the voice..
"Bingo!" the youth confirmed, grinning as he did the OK sign with his hand. "But I had my reasons." Shinichi (KRS) grabbed the youth by the collar and shook him.
"And what kind of reason did you have to have us switch places and then end up here!?" Shinichi (KRS) demanded.
"The switching places thing was to make sure Chorvax couldn't find you," said the youth casually. "He had locked onto you before and would've struck if I hadn't gone and switched you both around. Then I realized he'd locked onto you again so I wanted to make sure you both were ready to face him."
"You mean you determined if we were ready once we've answered those riddles?" Shinichi (SV) questioned angrily.
"Bingo! Gotcha!" the youth said with a large grin.
"Cut the crap!" Shinichi (KRS) released him. "You mean you did all this just to protect us and then you brought us here to face him!"
"Bingo!"
"Stop saying 'bingo'!"
Chorvax cleared his throat, "Excuse Me, But Aren't You Forgetting The Fact That I Have An Army Ready To Attack?"
"Feeling ignored?" the youth teased and Chorvax growled. "If you want, I can play with you." He opened up his blazer to reveal a very demonic looking belt. It looked almost alive. The strap was segmented and there was an oval buckle in the centre of his waist with a red stone mounted on it. White fangs made sure the belt was fastened. "Then I'll play with you! Henshin!"
Red hellfire burst out of the belt and wrapped around the mysterious youth, burning away his clothes but revealing his silhouette. With a downward swing of his umbrella, he dispersed the flames. Once the flames had subsided, he stood in his new form.
He was clad in a suit of gunmetal grey armor that was worn over a black bodysuit. The armor covered his torso and mounted on his shoulders were thick and broad pauldrons. In the centre of his chest was a green, rhombus-shaped gem. Hip plates hung from his belt and he had armored boots that went all the way up to his thighs with kneepads. Matching gauntlets with sharp points at the elbows covered his forearms. The suit had glowing red accents. Hanging from his neck was a tattered red scarf. Finally, his head was covered in a helmer which had batwing-like adornments framing the face which was concealed by an opaque black visor. Mounted on the brow was a green gem with a pair of small bat wings extending from it to form antennae. Also, gripped in his hand wasn't an umbrella anymore. It had turned into a double-edged broadsword with a red gem in the centre of the guard. The blade was black with a silver edge and had ancient runes inscribed in blood red along the length of the blade.
The new Rider declared, "Je m'appelle Kamen Rider Chaos!"
"Shin, you and your twin take care of the leader," said Yuji. "We'll take care of the grunts." He put on the Liger Belt and slid in his CAS Card. "Henshin!"
"ZERO FORM!"
Yuji was then covered by a black bodysuit with white plating on the sides of the sleeves and thighs. White gauntlets, with armored plating on the back of his hands with black gloves adorned his arms with a pair of gold claws that were folded back on his wrists. His legs were covered by white greaves, with black boots, and gold claws were folded back against his shins. He had white armor covering his torso and his white shoulder pads were blade-like and curved back. He wore a black helmet with a white, lion-themed, face plate with gold fangs and red eyes. Red nodes rested on the outside of his wrists, knees, elbows, and ankles. A black, cat-like tail swished back and forth behind him.
"Are you sure?" Shinichi (SV) asked.
"Remember, he's the Boss," said Leon as he activated his Mobirider and Rider Key. "Rider Change!"
"KAMEN RIDER NECROS!"
The first thing to happen was dark energy enveloping his body, donning him in a black bodysuit. Then, gold armor pieces materialized around him and slammed upon his body. Finally, his helmet covered his head. His ankh-like sword was attached to his back and he drew it swiftly. As Kamen Rider Necros, he wore a black bodysuit, with the armor being a stark contrast with its bright golden color. His helmet was styled after Anubis with red eyes. The chest plate had a muscular design to it and two golden metallic bracelets, with the eye of Horus on them, adorned both his arms. He was wielding a massive black blade that was shaped like an Ankh and covered in golden hieroglyphics. On his legs were metallic golden boots that went up to his knees.
"Henshin!" said Lina as a blue XIV numeral appeared over her chest. Psychic energy washed over her as puzzle pieces snapped around her body to form the armor. She had now turned into an alternate version of WHITE 14, otherwise known as Kamen Rider Phantom. The white armor was worn over a black bodysuit with a white helmet that sported blue eyes and a silver mouthplate. The helmet was insect-like in appearance due to the compound eyes and antennae. Hanging from her neck was a silver scarf. On her left shoulder was a blue XIV, which was the Roman numeral for 14.
Alan just glared at the armor. He too had some very unpleasant memories about the android clone, up to the point that he nearly killed Shinichi (KRS) over a hallucination. At least he could count on Lina to not be a psychopath. Rena was also surprised at the sight of Phantom's armor that reminded her of Shiro Juuyon. It had a different design but she couldn't help but see the similarities. It was just a huge surprise to see that Lina, this Lina, was also WHITE 14. Fortunately, only Lina's armor was similar to Shiro's. She did not resemble him in terms of personality.
"Shinichi-kun," said Moka as and Shinichi (SV) knew what she wanted and he grasped her cross. He then tugged it off and she was enveloped in Youki. Her eyes narrowed as the irises turned blood red, her figure became fuller, and her pink hair turned silver. Moka had gone to bed and now Moka-sama had decided to grace us with her presence. "Don't you dare die on me, Rider," she warned.
"I won't," he promised in a gentle tone, causing her to blush.
"Sugoi," said Rena. "Then it's my turn," she smiled eagerly as her eyes flashed red and she called out, "A-MA-ZON!" Mystical energy surrounded her as she transformed, adopting the form of the feral reptilian Rider known as Kamen Rider Amazon.
The two Shinichi's then looked at each other and gave each other nods of approval before summoning their respective Spark Cores. They then called out their transformation commands in unison, "Let's Ride Showa/Henshin!"
Chaos smirked as he saw Chorvax growl at the sight of all his opponents, all transformed and ready for battle. He couldn't help but comment, "You know, I must really ask, but why do you villains give us a chance to transform? I mean, is this to give us a sporting or are you just completely genre blind?"
Chorvax, losing his patience as his rage build up and bubbled, let loose a single command to his army and roared, "ATTACK!" They obeyed and charged at the assembled heroes. Chorvax was confident. It was simple math. He would win because he had them all outnumbered. What could these heroes do to cripple his army and defeat him? Nothing! Absolutely nothing!
Moka-sama she sent several grunts flying with her kick as Amazon knocked down a few and slashed at them. Nearby, Chaos was slashing away with his blade, targeting the Reptiloids whom he dismembered mercilessly. He watched them drop to pieces in amusement before moving on. With his Ankh Sword in hand, Necros hacked and slash at the enemy grunts while Liger Zero used his claws.
"You know, it's funny that you're not giving me a speech about mercy," commented Showa (SV).
"From the start I knew they were just mindless and soulless puppets," Showa (KRS) said.
"So, that's OK then."
"Yes, and heads up," Showa (KRS) warned as he pushed Showa (SV) out of the way and parried Death Fang with the Higurashi no Yaiba.
"You're Going To Pay For Tricking Me! The Both Of You!" snapped Chorvax.
"Yeah, if I got 100 yen for every time a villain said that to me, I'd be rich by now," Showa (KRS) shrugged casually as he knocked Death Fang aside and thrust forward. Chorvax parried with his sword as sparks flew from their swords clashing. Chorvax sent Showa (KRS) tumbling with a kick and then sent snakes made of darkness towards the Rider. The snakes wrapped around Showa (KRS) and he cried out as he was bitten. When the Death Rider saw an opening, he went ahead for the killing blow, only to be shot by Showa (SV) who was holding both Redeemer and the Vulcan Shooter. Showa (KRS) used the Shield of Glen to repel the snakes on him and recovered. The Shield of Glen was a gauntlet made of dragon scale mail and had a golden tan color with five long claws that covered his fingers. Set within the center of the gauntlet was a blue gem which resembled a dragon's eye.
"Forgot about me?" Showa (SV) remarked as he put his guns away and drew out his Gravity Hammer. "It's HAMMER TIME!" Showa (KRS) couldn't help but snicker as he'd used that line earlier. Chorvax was knocked backwards violently when the Gravity Hammer smashed into him. He went sliding back and had to avoid another downward blow as the Gravity Hammer came crashing down, creating a crater where it hit. "Stop moving and stay still! I wanna flatten you!"
"You're Insane!" Chorvax shouted.
"I go to therapy! I got issues! What the hell do you think!?" Showa (SV) shouted as he continued to swing the hammer furiously, making craters when he tried to flatten Chorvax, only to miss. He swung again but Chorvax sliced the shaft of the hammer in half and the head of the hammer crashed down at Showa's (SV) feet, useless. "Shit!" Chorvax punched him in the face and sent him sprawling. "Ugh!"
"You're Mine!" Chorvax swung, aiming to cleave Showa (SV) in half only to be repelled as his attack was blocked by an energy barrier.
Showa (SV) blinked and saw that Showa (KRS) had just used the Shield of Glen to protect him. "Huh?" he blinked before looking at his counterpart. "You saved me?"
"As much as I don't like you, I kinda need you alive to help me beat him," Showa (KRS) said. "So, how about it? Truce?" He drew out the Sword of Ascalon.
"Truce. Now, let's take him down," said Showa (SV) as he took out his Legacy Driver and put it on.
"BRING ORDER TO THE CHAOS, ST. GEORGE!"
"ULTIMATE RIDE: LEGACY MODE!"
As Showa (SV) assumed his Legacy Mode, Showa (KRS) was undergoing his own transformation. He cut a line of light above his head and it shattered. A dragon came out of the hole he'd made and wrapped around him. The dragon shattered and became pieces of armor which merged with his suit. Chorvax and Showa (SV) couldn't help but be mesmerised by the sight before them.
Showa Ascalon's bodysuit was now a solid midnight black color and the armor was a mix of red and black with gold trim. His thighs had scale mail armor plating on the sides and his boots were emblazoned with dragon scale-like designs. The tops of the boots reached his knees and jutted outwards a bit like horns and his knee pads were round with sharp, pointed tops that stuck out forward a little bit. The back of the feet of the boots had two small scythe-like blades on them and the front had a set of dragon-like claws attached to them. His belt, while still harboring his Trinity Spark Core in the center, had scale-like surface and hanging from it were flaps of armor, similar to what a knight would have worn.
His spaulders were round with gold trim on the bottom edges while his upper arms also sported scale mail armor plating. His forearm gauntlets were black in color with an outer layer that looked like a dragon's hide and was red in color. The red layer had a long horn jutting out past the elbow and the front, over his hands, had green gems situated within them. His hands were also covered in a mix of black and red armor that ended with clawed fingertips. His torso armor had a dual cape on the back that resembled the pattern of dragon wings while his chest armor resembled a dragon's head with two slanted yellow gems that looked like a pair of dragon eyes. It also sported the symbol of an eclipse in the center of it. The armor where the torso armor and shoulder armor met had a set of dragon head fins sticking out and curving backwards as well.
His helmet was mostly black in color with a dragon head motif on the sides and top. The sides of his helmet sported dragon head fins and the front, where antennae used to be, was now formed like a dragon's mouth. His eyepieces were a blood red color and were framed by a set of dragon's teeth while his mouth plate turned completely black. On the top center of his helmet was a yellow gem that flashed with his eye lenses, signaling the end of his transformation. Showa looked at the Sword of Ascalon and noticed that it had changed as well. The hilt was covered in a layer of scale-like leather for a firmer grip and the pommel was round with a cerulean colored gem in the center. The guard of the sword was big and round and covered in armor plating which resembled dragon scales and the center also had a glowing cerulean sphere in the center. The blade itself was almost transparent and glowed with an ethereal blue energy while Showa Ascalon's body pulsed with an amalgamation of dark and light energy.
The Shield of Glen also adorned his left arm. The gauntlet was made of dragon scale mail and had a golden tan color with five long claws that covered his fingers. Set within the center of the gauntlet was a blue gem which resembled a dragon's eye.
"Getsuga...TENSHOU!" Showa Ascalon roared and with a swipe of his blade he sent an energy wave slash at Chorvax which sent him flying back almost a hundred feet.
"OK, how is that fair!?" Showa Legacy shouted as he pointed at Showa Ascalon. "Not only do you have a flashier transformation but way cooler armor! Plus, that attack was fucking kickass!"
"Are you really that shallow?" Showa Ascalon asked his younger counterpart.
"I'm just saying that I deserve a cool attack of my own," said Showa Legacy. He then flashed his rings, "And I have just the thing."
"FULL CHARGE!"
"Strike Laser Claw!" Liger Zero roared as he slashed at the enemy Reptiloids, tearing them to pieces as they exploded. He continued to attack with his glowing claws, leaving behind the ones that he hit as they exploded behind him.
"FINAL BREAK!"
"HYAH!" Necros shouted as he swung his blade and sent crescent-shaped energy slashed that wiped out another group of the Reptiloid grunts. "Shakkaho!" He unleashed the red energy ball and it exploded, throwing the grunts into the air. He leapt up and used Shunpo and his energized sword to slice them apart. Landing, he took out one of his additional Rider Keys. This time it was Kamen Rider G4. He folded it into Key Mode and plugged it into his Ankh Sword.
"FINAL BREAK!"
His Ankh Sword was charged and he swung forward, unleashing a volley of missiles of made Reiryoku. Reiryoku Missiles exploded against the swarm of grunts and torn them to shreds. He then pulled out another Rider Key which represented Dark Kiva and folded it before inserting it into his Ankh Sword.
"FINAL BREAK!"
His Ankh Sword glowed red and he swung his sword multiple times to send crimson energy slashed that ripped his enemies apart. Once he saw that the ones attacking him were all in pieces, he shouldered his Ankh Sword.
"Oi-Ryah!" Phantom was using her gauntlets' energy blades and using her Psychic power to boost her speed, she hacked and slashed, dealing killing blows that destroyed a few more of the Reptiloid grunts. Coming to a stop, she looked up and saw several grunts beginning to swarm her. Quickly, she pulled in her power as she glowed with radiant blue energy. "Explosion Wave!" A mix of Psychic and Tachyon energy exploded off of her and right onto the grunts, vaporizing anyone in its path.
"Gii Gii!" Amazon growled. "Monkey Attack!" She tackled several of the Reptiloid soldiers down. A Reptiloid tried to punch her but she grabbed its arm and then bit down on its neck, spilling blood, "Jaguar Shock!" She removed her sharp teeth from it before kicking the injured Reptiloids into several of its kind. She then jumped and executed a Rider Kick. "Amazon Kick!" she shouted and smashed her foot into the Reptiloid, causing damage that resulted in an explosion which took its comrades along with it. "Gii!" She then jumped and came down with a chop attack, "Dai Setsudan!"
Moka-sama herself was using a variety of kicks to put down the enemy grunts. She aimed for vital areas so that they wouldn't get back up. "Know your place!" she shouted as she used a spin kick to send several grunts flying. Jumping up, she used an axe kick to cave in a Reptiloid's head and then she grabbed hold of its arm and tossed it into the air. She used a roundhouse kick to break a Reptiloid's neck and a sweep kick to knock down another one.
Alan was also dealing with the grunts using his ring to create various constructs to subdue them. He used the Blade Blade and unleashed his own version of the Lightning Slash attack to zap them. He then formed the Faiz Blaster and obliterated them with a burst of green energy. He also created multiple clones that dealt with the army he was fighting. Personally, he also had super strength and super speed which was unmatched by the grunts who quickly fell as he took them down.
A distance from her was the newcomer, Kamen Rider Chaos, and he was using his sword to destroy his enemies with ease. He had focused his blade with demonic energy and unleashed his fury. "Mama and Papa would be so proud," he commented before he continued.
Meanwhile, Chorvax was still recovering from being blown away by Showa Ascalon's Getsuga Tenshou. A long and wide trench was a result from the attack. Fortunately, he'd been blessed by the power of Death Fang and his Death Rider armor. The Death Rider was furious. He was the destroyer of his universe and a being of ultimate power. But now, he was made to look like some kind of weakling!
This could not stand! Oh, he had wanted to kill them quickly and painlessly but now they deserved a slow and agonizing death at his hands. He would torture them, slowly, and make them beg for death and he would not allow them to die until he was satisfied. Then, and only then, would they have his permission to die. He used his speed to cross the distance, aiming to kill Showa Legacy who had his back turned to him. He thrust his sword forward, only to be blocked as multiple circles composed of small bone-like parts that expanded and floated around Showa Legacy to shield him from the assault.
"Storm Box Weapon: the Bone Loops," said Showa Legacy as he turned to face Chorvax. He then aimed his left arm at Chorvax's stunned face. His left arm was strapped with a small cannon which had skulls on both ends. "And this is another one called the Flame Arrow!" He punctuated his statement by shooting a point blank blast of Storm Flames at Chorvax but he managed to dodge. He then rushed again at Showa Legacy. He blocked with a shield of darkness and went in for the kill, only to be intercepted by Showa Ascalon. He knocked Showa Ascalon aside and went for Showa Legacy again.
"Take This!" Chorvax smashed his foot into the ground and rocks shot up. He then used a burst of darkness to send the rocks flying like missiles at Showa Legacy. Showa Legacy used the Legacy Saber to deflect the stones. At the same time Chorvax charged at him while he was distracted. The Storm Guardian, however, was not at all concerned as Chorvax came at him. He was ready. Attached to his waist was a set of boxes and each of them paved a path of victory for him when used together. The boxes were part of a unique system of interchangeable weapons known as the Sistema C.A.I. Sistema C.A.I. stood for Sistema Cambio Arma Instantaneo. Roughly translated, it was called the Instantaneous Armament Change System.
And here's why.
Dodging Death Fang, Showa Legacy opened up another box on his belt and removed a tube which he loaded into the back of the Flame Arrow. He took aim and Chorvax confidently thought he could block it with a shield of darkness. However, he underestimated the Flame Arrow as it fired a burst of flame which had a blue tint around it. To Chorvax's surprise, his Shield of Darkness was pierced and shattered as the shot went on and went through his shoulder, shattering the armor and forcing him back.
"That's the power of Storm+Rain," said Showa Legacy. Chorvax snarled and swung at Showa Legacy again but he dodged using a disc of Storm Flames that appeared under his feet. It looked like he was riding on a hoverboard and basically that was what the Storm Disc was. It was a disc of Storm Flames used to provide the user with high speed movements and it was perfect for Showa Legacy's fighting style. He opened another box and drew out a machinegun's ammo belt which he loaded into the Flame Arrow. Speeding around Chorvax, he fired a barrage of yellow bullets propelled by his Storm Flames. Miniature explosions erupted from Chorvax's armor as he was hit continuously by the bullets. "And this is Storm+Sun!" Chorvax then shot forward and grabbed hold of Showa Legacy's throat and hoisted him up. He pointed his Death Fang at his opponent and drew his arm back to run him through but the Sword of Ascalon came down and forced the blade down.
"Don't forget about me," said Showa Ascalon as he elbowed Chorvax back and sent him staggering with a slash. Chorvax dropped Showa Legacy who landed on his feet. "You OK?" Showa Ascalon asked.
"Let's just finish this creep off," said Showa Legacy. "Or are you just gonna show him mercy?"
"After hearing what he did to this place, do you think he deserves any?" Showa Ascalon asked rhetorically.
"So, you do have some sense," remarked Showa Legacy.
"Only towards the truly despicable ones that can't be forgiven and to those who would threaten everything and everyone I love," said Showa Ascalon. "And if he doesn't wanna give up and surrender, then we'll just have to use the last resort."
"Works for me," Showa Legacy agreed. He then shouted, "Watch out!"
Chorvax fired multiple blasts of darkness and the explosions sent the two Riders flying. They went tumbling in the air before they righted themselves with their wings and executed their next attack. Showa Legacy opened another box and took the tube contained inside. He loaded the tube into his Flame Arrow. The dragon motif on Showa Ascalon's chest morphed into an actual dragon's head and it maw opened to charge up a sphere of red energy.
"Blazing Lightning!" Showa Legacy shouted as he fired a blast of Storm Flame+Lightning Flame at Chorvax. Chorvax raised up a barrier of darkness but it wouldn't be enough when the next attack came.
"El Drago Cero!" Showa Ascalon roared and fired a blast of energy from his dragon head's jaw. Both his and Showa Legacy's attack hit the barrier at the same time and shattered it. The attacks hit Chorvax and sent him sliding back. Once the two stopped their attacks, they saw the kind of damage they had done. Smoke rose from Chorvax's armor and his cloak appeared to be in more tatters than before.
Chorvax, meanwhile, was feeling his anger about to erupt. These worms were getting in his way and he would not stand for it. "DEATH DRAGON STRIKE!" he roared and he released a dark energy slash straight at the two Riders. Showa Legacy attached the Legacy Driver to his Legacy Saber.
"LEGACY CHARGE!"
After this, he focused on his Storm Flame and wrapped the glowing blade with Storm Flames
"Getsuga Tenshou!" Showa Ascalon shouted as he unleashed his energy slash with the Sword of Ascalon.
"Legacy Rider Storm Slash!" shouted Showa Legacy as he unleashed his own attack.
The Riders' energy slashes crashed against Chorvax's. It was a battle of wills as their united attacks pushed against Chorvax's resisting his attack. Chorvax put more concentration into his attack to wipe both his enemies out and take their power. However, his Death Dragon Strike gave way for the Legacy Rider Storm Slash and the Getsuga Tenshou. Chorvax roared in agony and shock as he was hit by both attacks simultaneously and exploded.
"Well, that should take care of him," said Showa Ascalon.
The smoke cleared, revealing Chorvax had survived. "You..." he growled. "You...YOU LITTLE BASTARDS!" Raising to his full height, he stabbed the Death Fang into the ground and called, "Zombie Dread Dragon! Arise And Serve Thy Master!" A dark magic seal appeared under Chorvax and expanded to cover a wide area. Then, the ground began to shake. This was nothing by everyone, including the Riders and the enemy grunts.
"Something's coming," Necros murmured and something did arrive as something started to rise from the dark magic circle.
"Holy Shit," uttered Liger Zero.
Chorvax had just summoned a massive European dragon. Except, it looked like an undead dragon as pieces of flesh seemed to be rotted off. If that wasn't grotesque enough, the Zombie Dragon also had an armor made entirely of bone. For what reason it had skeletal armor was unknown. Maybe it was to help support its rotting body and protect it from further harm. Whatever the reason, the fact was that the armor had enhanced the Zombie Dragon's already terrifying appearance.
"Kill Them," Chorvax commanded and the Zombie Dread Dragon unleashed black and violet flames and a horrendous stench from its jaws. The flames caused a massive explosion that threw the Showa's and their allies into the air while incinerating the remains of Chorvax's army. The attack from the Zombie Dread Dragon had also forced the two Showa's back into their weaker default forms. Chorvax didn't care if he'd just wiped out his entire invasion force. He could always create more and dispatch them at his own leisure.
"OK, this is bad," Showa (KRS) frowned as he saw the Zombie Dread Dragon. "How are we supposed to fight something that big?"
"I could turn to J, but I doubt that would be strong enough," said Showa (SV).
"Triling!" Dreigon DxD spoke from the Shield of Glen as its gem flashed.
"Dreigon?" Ascalon Showa asked.
"Shinichi," said Dialga from the Mana Stone as it flashed.
"Dialga?" Legacy Showa asked.
"Both of you have something in common," Dreigon DxD began.
"You both hold the power of dragons within you," added Dialga.
"And that is the power that will help you defeat your enemy," the Riders' inner dragons said at the same time.
Showa Ascalon knew what Dreigon was referring to and raised his fist into the air as he called forth the power within, "ARISE, DRAGON OF DRAGONS...DREIGON!"
Showa (SV) passed his right hand which was adorned with the Mana Stone Glove, Vongola Ring and Skull Rings in front of the Legacy Driver and it exclaimed, "RAIN! SUN! CLOUD! LIGHTNING! STORM!" before finally announcing, "VONGOLA STORM DRAGON!"
He held out his right hand in front of him and a projection of the Vongola Famiglia's coat of arms appeared before him. It then shattered and became multi-colored flames that engulfed him. He let out a scream that became a roar as his armor changed. His torso was now covered by a large, steel chest plate with two spikes extending back over his shoulders and the bottom of it extending over his abdomen. A five pronged, fan-like structure surrounded his neck like a collar. Two horns extended from his helmet and two fang-like horns framed the sides of his mouth-plate. He wore spaulders and kneepads in the shape of black skulls. There was a red stone in the middle of his chestplate, representing the Storm Flames. In a bracelet around his right wrist was a green stone, representing the Lightning Flames. In a bracelet around his left wrist was a blue stone representing Rain Flames. In a bracelet around his right ankle was a yellow stone, representing the Sun Flames. Finally, in the bracelet around his left ankle was a violet stone, representing the Cloud Flames.
"KAMEN RIDER SHOWA: VONGOLA STORM DRAGON! ON STAGE!" the new Showa (SV) roared as he named his new form.
At the same time Showa's (KRS) body began to glow with a bright violet hue which then turned into a golden light as his body grew and extended outwards, taking on a more monstrous shape. During his transformation, his body quickly shifted to that of something that nobody could have ever imagines. His hands and feet became armored hands and with long sharp talon-like claws while armored wings sprouted from his back. A long armored tail sprouted from his rear and his neck lengthened as his head took on a more bestial form. After a moment the bright gold light died down and, once everyone uncovered their eyes, they all nearly crapped their pants. Showa was no longer Showa but a gigantic and heavily armored dragon.
His body was covered in a mix of Soul Metal and Dragon Metal, giving him a look of a Dragon wearing Knight-like armor plating. His head was covered in a black and white helmet with a set of forward facing gold horns with the Roman numeral XIII on the left side and the number 13 on the right side. His long neck was also covered in armor plating with a single gold spike jutting upwards from each plate. His wings were made of a mixture of Soul and Dragon Metal and had gold razor edge fans where the thin skin of the wings should be. His forelegs had shoulder armor and silver gauntlets with long, gold, sickle-like blades on them as did his hind legs. His chest plate bore the crest of the Eclipse on it with a red gem right in the center of it. His tail was also covered in segmented armor pieces with gold spikes on them and the tip ended in a curved golden blade which was the Sword of Ascalon itself that had two tachyon energy cannons on each side.
In this form he was known as Kamen Rider Showa Ascalon: DxD Mode. However, it also went by another name which he roared out, "SHOWA-DRAGON...DXD!"
The ones unfamiliar with the transformation were stunned as they witnessed it, Liger Zero in particular. This wasn't exactly what he expected from his cousin's counterpart. Then again, he really should've known that this was a possibility. He just never really considered it. He knew for a fact that Showa (KRS) was not a Manakyte but seeing this transformation was making him doubt what he knew. His cousin own transformation was also shocking. It really should be impossible, but his cousin did have a habit of breaking was just another example.
Showa VSD jumped up and rode upon Showa-Dragon DxD's head and pointed at their mutual enemy. With a roar of affirmative the Showa-Dragon lunged ahead and smashed his body against the Zombie Dread Dragon, nearly knocking Chorvax off his perch on his Zombie Dread Dragon. The two dragons bit and clawed at each other savagely. Meanwhile, Showa VSD and Chorvax both leapt of their respective steads and drew their weapons. Showa VSD used his Legacy Saber (Sword Mode) against Chorvax's Death Fang. The two combatants furiously exchanged blows as their blades clashed. Their remained airborne for a few more moments before landing back on their perches.
"YOU WILL FALL!" Chorvax shouted.
"ONE WILL STAND AND ONE WILL FALL, BUT THE ONE WHO WILL FALL WON'T BE ME!" Showa VSD shot back. The stones on his armor glowed as the Vongola Coat of Arms appeared behind his back as he prepared to execute the finisher. He jumped onto Showa-Dragon DxD's snout then leapt forward as Showa-Dragon DxD released a blast of flames that rocketed Showa VSD. He performed a flying kick, empowered by Dialga and the five Dying Will Flames of the Sky. His body was hardened by the Lightning Flame, able to penetrate defences due to the Rain Flame, multiply himself due to the Cloud Flame and accelerate because of the Sun Flame. The Storm Flame carried the power of destruction and that was what Showa VSD was aiming for.
"VONGOLA STRIKE! SHI-YAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH!"
As Showa-Dragon DxD's flames destroyed the Zombie Dragon, Chorvax was hit multiple times by Showa VSD's foot as the Rider and his duplicates violently smashed into the Death Rider simultaneously. They blasted him straight up into the distorted sky.
"Flame Arrow!" Showa VSD called as the Box Weapon materialized over his left forearm. "Cambio Forma!" Storm Flames emerged from his Vongola Storm Ring and fused with the Flame Arrow. This caused the cannon to change, taking on a new shape. Once the transformation was complete, it no longer resembled a cannon. Rather, it was now a gauntlet with a large red crystal on the forearm marked by 'I'. The gauntlet itself was combined with a bow with limbs of bones, with both ends connected by a string of Storm Flame.
"G's Archery! Ready!" Showa VSD declared. The bow itself was 8 feet across and it didn't look like a very practical weapon. In fact, it would hinder Showa VSD's movements. However, he would only need it for a single shot. Notching his Laser Saber like an arrow against the red string, he took aim and pulled on the red string, pulling it taut as he prepared to fire. "Target Locked On! Fire!" He then released the string and the Laser Saber flew, enveloped in Storm Flames of incredible power and density as it shot out of G's Archery. The Storm Flame enveloped Laser Saber took the shape of an actual arrow as it cut through the air, leaving a trail of Storm Flames before piercing Chorvax's chest.
The Storm Flame Arrow hit its mark and Chorvax screamed in outrage as the Vongola crest appeared on his chest. Storm Flames burst out of the crest to eat away at his body and he cursed loudly and furiously as his entire body exploded. The Vongola crest appeared in the sky before fading away with the aftermath of the explosion.
Chorvax had been destroyed.
"They did it," said Moka-sama.
"Yatta, Shin-kun! Times two!" Amazon cheered.
"That's my cousin," said Liger Zero proudly.
"And our brother," said Alan as he looked at Necros who just crossed his arms and shrugged.
"Meh, it was OK," said Necros.
"Jeez, really?" Alan sweatdropped.
"Are you always that hard to impress?" Phantom asked Necros.
Showa-Dragon DxD and Showa VSD both returned to human form and collapsed on their backs, tired.
"There is no way I'm doing that again anytime soon," said Shinichi (KRS).
"There's no way I'm ever doing that again," said Shinichi (SV).
"Are you sure?" Shinichi (KRS) asked.
"Not a chance! My body feels like crap!" said Shinichi (SV).
"Heh, you look like crap."
"So that means you look like crap too since I look like you."
"Yeah...but I can turn into a fucking dragon!"
"I can too! You just haven't seen me do it!"
"Yeah, right!"
"YOU FOOLS!" a dark and malevolent voice roared, ruining the moment. The two identical Riders sat up to see the Death Fang floating in the air and it was glowing with a dark malevolent aura which resembled flames. However, these flames were not warm. They were cold, cold like death.
"That sword's alive!?" Shinichi (SV) gaped.
"Most swords I've run into are," Shinichi (KRS) replied, "Apparently."
"YOU HAVE DESTROYED ANOTHER WIELDER OF MINE! I CAN SEE CLEARLY THAT YOU MUST BE DESTROYED!" Death Fang roared with pure fury. Death Fang's eye glowed and the sword formed a corporeal body out of darkness. First, a hand formed around the hilt, gripping it tightly. Then, an arm formed from the hand and the darkness expanded to form a torso, followed by another arm and a pair of legs with clawed toes. The head was demonic and draconic at the same time with red eyes and wicked horns. Stretching from the back was a pair of wings. This was the spirit of Death Fang. "NOW DIE!" Death Fang went to launch an attack at them and he was fast, too fast for them to avoid. However, there was someone faster than Death Fang and a green dome formed around the two Riders, protecting them from Death Fang as his blade connected with the dome. Death Fang was then punched by a fist and sent flying. Alan was the one responsible for it. He deconstructed the dome and landed in front of his brother and his brother's double.
"Thanks, Alan," said Shinichi (KRS).
"Don't thank me yet. That thing is still alive," said Alan.
"So, we're fighting a sword now?" Shinichi (SV) questioned.
"Pretty much," said Alan. "Do you guys have enough power to fight?"
"I think I'm pretty low right now," said Shinichi (KRS).
"I'm running on empty," added Shinichi (SV).
"Well, how about we give you a boost?" Bazel offered. Shinichi (KRS) smiled, which confused Shinichi (SV).
"What are you smiling about?" Shinichi (SV) asked Shinichi (KRS).
"Alan, do it!" Shinichi (KRS) said to his brother.
"Xros Fusion!" Alan pointed Bazel at both Shinichi's and pulled them together with Bazel's power. Meanwhile, Death Fang was coming back and he witnessed the lightshow. He knew this wasn't in his favor so he rushed to stop it. He unleashed a aura dragon made of darkness but it was repelled by the light as something emerged.
"XROS FUSION! KAMEN RIDER SHOWA X2!" the new combined warrior called out his name. He had the body of Showa Legacy Mode and equipped with the Shield of Glen. Spread on his back was the Dragon Cloak. He had two Spark Cores in his belt. Finally, the helmet was from Showa Hinamizawa Guardian Form. His helmet resembled a demonic samurai with green eyes, a pair of long horns, and a shuriken mounted in the centre of the brow. Finally, the Legacy Saber had turned into a sword gauntlet equipped to his right arm.
Showa X2 soared towards Death Fang and slashed the avatar across the chest. Death Fang retaliated with his blade but it was blocked by the Legacy Saber.
Back on the ground, Yuji, Moka and Lina wondered what had happened to both Shinichi's.
"What happened?" Yuji asked and turned to ask Alan, "What happened to them?"
"Xros Fusion," Alan answered.
"Xros Fusion?" Moka, Yuji and Lina repeated, unfamiliar with the term.
"Basically, if you put two kickass fighters together, you end up with one super kickass warrior," said Bazel.
"And with their powers combined, they can win," finished Rena.
Showa X2 performed a bicycle kick, smashing his feet into Death Fang's avatar. The dark avatar roared and lashed out with a dark energy wave which splashed harmlessly against the barrier of the Shield of Glen. Death Fang continued to lash out, hitting the barrier repeatedly. Cracks began to spread along the surface of the barrier. It shattered but Showa X2 had teleported to safety. Death Fang expected this and as soon as Showa X2 reappeared, he released a plume of dark fire in his direction. The Shield of Glen's gem glowed and the Sword of Ascalon's blade slid out of the wrist.
Showa X2 then absorbed the dark flames, purifying them and converting the flames into holy fire. With a swing he launched the blade of holy fire and Death Fang sliced through it with his sword. The two closed the gap and began to clash violently. Sparks flew as they battled furiously. Death Fang the flipped backwards and slammed his heel against Showa X2's chin. He then went to decapitate the stunned warrior but lightning shot out of the horns and hit Death Fang in his eyes. Showa X2 then buried his knee into Death Fang's stomach before blasting him to the ground with gale force winds. Death Fang crashed against the ground, violently.
Converting the Legacy Saber to Gun Mode, Showa X2 fired a volley of energy bursts from his weapon, hitting Death Fang repeatedly. The energy blasts caused a series of earth-shaking explosions to erupt. Once he stopped firing, he watched as the dust and smoke cleared to reveal Death Fang, standing. Of course, he wouldn't be defeated so easily.
Summoning the power of darkness, Death Fang sent dark shadow serpents shooting up at Showa X2. Showa X2 concentrated and created a duplicate. He and his duplicate then duplicated again. Showa X2 and his duplicates slashed at the shadows snakes, rendering them to shreds, then dove down towards Death Fang who launched a burst of darkness. The Dragon Cloak folded around Showa X2 to deflect the darkness. Once he landed, the Dragon Cloak unfolded it and Showa X2 drove both blades into the avatar.
"This...is GAME OVER for you!" shouted Showa X2 as he sliced Death Fang's avatar to three pieces. Although the avatar was destroyed, the sword, however, remained.
"Do you think this is over? You can shatter me over and over again, but as long as there is evil, darkness and chaos, I will return! That is because I am the embodiment of chaos itself!" Death Fang claimed.
"Yeah, and if you come back..." Shinichi's (KRS) voice came out of Showa X2.
"We'll break you again and again!" Shinichi (SV) finished.
Death Fang roared, "But why do you continue to fight? Why do you continue to breathe? After all you've seen and done! All your experiences should've driven you mad! You should be begging for death! So why! Why!?"
"We may have regrets and we've made mistakes, but we continue to live to make up for those mistakes! Those regrets make us stronger and motivate us to always fight harder so that we never repeat those mistakes!"
"We live for those who've died! And we fight for those still alive! We live for all of them and walk this path we've chosen for them!"
"And that is why neither of us will ever give up!" both Shinichi's said together. The Sword of Ascalon's blade became black and peppered with stars before Showa X2 swung.
"MEIDO ZANGETSUHA!"
The attack struck Death Fang and Showa X2 watched as a black hole formed. Death Fang screamed as he was sucked in and the black hole vanished.
Now, the Death Fang was gone.
Showa X2 landed back on the ground and glowed before both Shinichi's separated.
"Boy, that was trippy," said Shinichi (SV). The feeling of being fused was just so strange to him.
"You get used to it," said Shinichi (KRS).
"I doubt I ever will."
"Shinichi!"
"Shin!"
Both Shinichi's sat up and saw their friends coming for them. It was over, the enemy had been vanquished, so now it was time to go back home.
VWOORP! VWOORP! VWOORP!
Alan's red TARDIS materializes in SV no Sekai, up onboard the roof of the Hive Queen. Alan, Rena, Shinichi (KRS), Yuji, Leon, Lina, Shinichi (SV) and Moka all stepped out of the TARDIS.
"You know, I still don't feel a sense of satisfaction," Shinichi (SV) crossed his arms. Chaos had vanished after the battle. He still wanted to ask that guy a few questions. "That Chaos guy has a lot of explaining to do."
"I have a feeling we'll be seeing him again, pretty soon," said Alan. "Well, since you're all back where you belong, it's time for us to leave."
"Thank you, so much for bringing our Shinichi-kun back to us," said Moka.
"Hey, you deserve some thanks too. You guys pretty much helped to save the Multiverse," said Rena.
"Although, I think I did most of the work," remarked Showa (KRS).
"Shinichi, you really need to work on that ego. You're starting to get a big head," said Alan.
"He did, and I rode on it," said Showa (SV) grinning jokingly.
"So, will we see you again?" Yuji asked the travelers from another world.
"Just keep your eyes open for a red telephone box that might seem out of place," said Alan. "Oh, and Leon, I sure hope to see you again."
"I sure hope not," Leon frowned. "Whenever you're around, trouble's not too far behind."
"Oh, as if your life is trouble free," remarked Alan. "Rena, Shinichi, let's go! Up, up and away!" He went into the TARDIS.
Rena spoke to Yuji, Lina and Moka, "Take care of yourselves, and him." She paused to glance at Shinichi (SV) before continuing, "He's just like my Shinichi when I first met him, so lost and unsure, filled with blood, anger and revenge. But overtime he got better because he had us, his friends to show him how to be better." She concluded, "He's still new so be patient with him because sometimes he can be a bit of a pain."
"We will," promised Yuji.
"You especially need to help him," Rena spoke to Moka. "I can tell that you're the most special to him."
"What makes you say that?" Moka asked.
"Because you were the first he met at the beginning of his new life," said Rena. "You gave him the second chance he needed to start out on the right path." Rena gave the pink-haired Vampire a hug before she went to follow Alan into the TARDIS.
"She's right," agreed Lina. "You're the reason Shinichi's getting better."
"Come on, Shinichi-kun!" Rena called from the TARDIS' door.
"Coming!" As Shinichi (KRS) was about to enter the TARDIS, he took a moment to turn and speak to Shinichi (SV), "You know, Moka-san's a great girl. You're lucky to have her."
"Well, she has been with me since the beginning," said Shinichi (SV), "And she sets my moral compass in the right direction."
"Rena-chan does that for me too," said Shinichi (KRS).
"Don't forget your friends," Shinichi (SV) added. "It looks like they played a huge part in how you ended up."
"Yeah," nodded Shinichi (KRS). "We've both had fucked up lives, but we still found a good life, didn't we?"
"Well, I'd prefer a trouble free life, but we both know we can't always get what we want," said Shinichi (SV).
Shinichi (KRS) advised, "Hey, just remember that your past doesn't define you. You just need to learn from it and become better. Maybe start by forgiving yourself like I have."
"It's not that easy. I've been a killer, a traitor and a coward, so it's gonna take time," said Shinichi (SV).
"Hey, I've been there and done all that. Just remember that Time is Golden," advised Shinichi (KRS)
"I've been wondering, though," said Shinichi (SV) curiously. "What did you do to your Gebok?"
"Are you asking me if I killed him?" Shinichi (KRS) asked. Shinichi (SV) nodded. "I didn't."
"Why?" Shinichi (SV) asked, surprised.
"Because I did it so many times and realized I never got the sense of satisfaction I was looking for," said Shinichi (KRS). "But then I think what he's going through right now is what he deserves."
"What?"
"All that remains of him is a brain stuck in a jar," said Shinichi (KRS). "The jar keeps his brain alive but now he's locked up for a long, long time." He smiled at a speechless Shinichi (SV) before he entered the TARDIS. "Sayonara!" he waved before closing the door. Lina, Moka, Leon, Shinichi (SV) and Yuji then all watched as it began to dematerialize and disappear before their eyes.
"You know, I think I'm going to mark this day on the calendar as one of the weirdest days of my life," said Yuji.
"Be prepared; it just gets weirder from here," cautioned Leon.
"Oh, you just had to say that!" Yuji snapped but Leon ignored him as he started to get back into the Hive Queen. Lina followed. Finally, Moka and Shinichi (SV) went back inside, hand-in-hand. Moka then stopped and turned to Shinichi (SV) and smiled before putting her arms around him and giving him a kiss on the neck, followed by her digging her fangs into his neck.
CHU~
KAMEN RIDER CHROME: OK, and we're done. This was really a fun project for me to work on and I really hope you enjoyed reading this story as much as I had writing it. Now, just to express a few things. I started writing this mainly because I wanted to know what it would be like to have Shinichi from both of my main "Showa" fics meet each other and then of course had them switch places and see how they deal with the situation and the people they meet. Also, this fic has a cameo of Kamen Rider Chaos, a character from another fic I plan to write but still I only got to make one chapter.
Now, let's go ahead with the disclaimer. Shinichi and Lina belong to me. Yuji Fudo is property of Kamen Rider Bushido. Leon Smith and Alan Smith are property of Shadow Elements 13. The Showa-Dragon DxD and Dreigon were developed by GuyverGenesis (Toku Warrior). Finally, the characters of Higurashi no Naku Koro Ni and Rosario+Vampire are property of their respective creators and distributors. Oh, and the TARDIS is property of the BBC, except this red one which is mine. This has been a Kamen Rider Chrome production. Oh, and I would like to thank my friends for their assistance. You guys rock.
