I, the temporary Kamen Rider Saga, continued to run though the complex.

The werewolf, merman, and Frankenstein were hot on my heels.

Just as I turned around the corner, I heard it.

No, it wasn't a violin.

It was someone playing the piano.

Hearing it, I slowed down, deforming and looking around. The trio of monsters did the same, confused as I am but more stunned. Steps headed towards us as we gathered in front of a door.

Right then and there, I saw three people. The first of Weiss Schnee. The second was the new Kiva. The third and final, was a mechanical bat flying next to the heiress. I put my finger to my lips, 'shh'-ing her as we listened to the music being played. I softly spoke out loud, "Wow... she really putting her emotions into it." Weiss asked, confused, "Emotions in music?" I smiled, "Yeah. If you express your beliefs and emotions, the instrument becomes greater along with the music it makes."

Suddenly, a sharp pain went through my head, causing me to lean up against the wall and clutch my temples. Sagark chirped something at me, but I couldn't understand it...

"So, wait. Kiva, or whatever, makes a violin?"

"Not just any violin, THE violin. Bloody Rose."

I managed to get out, "My employer... he wanted me to finish Bloody Rose..." Weiss's eyes widened, before taking on a determined look, "I get it done!" "Wait! Not yet..." She looked at me confused as I managed to smile, "I... I need to see your sister, Blanc... It's a meeting long overdue..." She nodded slowly, but helped me move into the room.

When we entered, I was breathless at Blanc's appearance. She had white hair braided and over her left shoulder, her blue eyes gazing down at the piano. She wore a grey vest over a white collared shirt with a blue tie, a white skirt with blue lining and stockings, and black dress shoes. I softly chuckled, "Always the slight rebel..." She abruptly stopped playing, her head snapping in our direction before locking eyes with me. Her eyes widened as I slowly walked towards her, speaking out loud, "Sagark..."

The sentient UFO attached itself to my waist as I transformed back into Saga. She quickly stood up, rubbing her eyes before gaining a determined look. Around her waist, a painfully familiar Driver appeared.

A Ghost Driver.

As I extended the blade, she slowly held an Eyecon in her hand, activating it before placing it in her driver.

"AYE~! BACCHIRI MINAA~ BACCHIRI MINAA~!" A parka ghost that had white lining flew out, spinning around Blanc like an ice skater. I idly heard footsteps running away as Blanc shouted after crossing her arms across her chest elegantly, "HENSHIN!"

"KAIGAN! ECTO! DEPRESSION! SUCCESSION! SECOND CHANCE!"

Her face-plate was a white Schnee Glyph symbol. Her body armor was almost like mine, with the exception of a white glyph where the eye should be on the body armor.

"So you're saying that the... "summon Chant" of Ghost revolve around the life of the said ghost jackets?"

"Yep!"

I thought to myself, 'So depression and succession implies...' I muttered out in shock, "Suicide...? But if there's Second Chance, that means...!" I turned to face her, asking slowly, "You... You were reborn into this life as well?" She looked at me, tilting her head before openly stating, "I don't know who you are, or why you are here, but I will not tolerate trespassers on our grounds! I, Blanc Schnee, will unmask you and decide your fate!"

I snapped at her, "For Oum's sake, Listen to the call of your heart! Your life may be burning bright, but so is mine!" Sagark undid the transformation as a pressed, "If you don't believe that I'm real, that I'm reborn... Then I'll show you my new way of life!" She was silent before finally asking in a bare whisper, "What did I dare you to do, the last time I was sober?"

I relaxed, letting out a breath, "You dared me... to binge watch every single Kamen Rider henshin, forms, and finisher. I'm thankful that you didn't include the Showa Riders, though- OOMPH!" She tackled me, back in her normal form while hugging me tightly.

I felt something wet and noticed she was shaking, muffled sobs coming from her. She looked at me with tears in her eyes, begging, "Kiss me. Convince me that I'm not dreaming." I raised an eyebrow before pointing out, "I will, but only if you admit that Super Sentai is better than Kamen Riders." She glared at me, before laughing and wrapping her arms around me, "It really is you... Noir..." I chuckled and hugged her back, "Noir Spectrum, in this life."

I kissed her, and we had a brief make-out session as she suddenly made a glyph appear beneath me, warping us to fall on her bed. She asked as she drifted off to sleep, "Be here when I wake up?"

I smiled.

"I will."

She smiled before snuggling into me and sleeping. I lightly kissed her forehead before hugging her closer as I went to snooze-ville.

The sound of a violin playing lulling me to rest.

I groaned as I opened my eyes, waking up only to stiffen at the sword at my throat.

Winter.

Slowly, I looked back at the now noticeable weight on my arm.

Blanc was fast asleep.

How to wake her up...?

"Super Sentai is still better than Kamen Riders."

Instantly, a glyph formed next to me, before launching me into the wall, slamming my back into it as Blanc got up, "Babe. I know you're salty, but please let me have a few more... minutes..." Her eyes widened before looking at me, to Winter, and back to me.

I deadpan, "Ow."

I awkwardly sat next to Whitley as we both ate breakfast in the same room. We were both silent before I finally asked, "So, boss or leader?" He turned to me and raised an eyebrow, "Pardon me?" I explained, "When you take over, will you act like a boss or act like a leader?" "Aren't those the same thing?" I shook my head, "Not quite. A boss... they just speak and expect others to obey. A leader... they participate in their orders and try to make connections that aren't political. A boss is more likely to be betrayed, but a leader is more vulnerable to sabotage. So, boss or leader?"

The Schnee heir was silent, thinking as I finished my breakfast. Suddenly, he stood up and grabbed me by the wrist, dragging me and pulling in the direction of something as I asked, "Whoa, where are we heading?" He answered firmly, "The courtyard. I need to brush up on my studies." I sighed, letting him lead me, "A wise king does not seek out war, but is always prepared for battle."

When we arrived at the courtyard, Whitley drew his saber and demanded, "You'll teach me how to fight. I'm already good with my swordsmanship, so do your best!" I blinked before sighing and walking to the exposed end of the open area, heading to the statue, "Well, my first lesson is a bit odd: listen to the music of the style." He stumbled a bit, asking with a dry voice, "Pardon?" I smiled before explaining, "Like music, every fighting style has its own base rhythm and tempo. Sagark!"

The flying disk nodded before attaching itself around my waist. Whitley seemed surprised as I transformed into Kamen Rider Saga. I asked as I raised my blade, "Now, shall we begin the crash course?" He looked at me, before nodding, causing me to grin behind the mask as Sagark began to somehow play the music.

(Kamen Rider Ex-Aid - JUSTICE)

I nodded my head to the beat as I slowly walked around. When it got to around the song, I began to sing, attacking to the beat.

"Nemuru yōna seijaku no yami de
Niramitsukeru shinjitsu no yukue
Tenohira de korogasu Marionette," attacking with slashes, I began to attack and step-side from Whitley's jabs. He was slightly caught off guard, but slowly began to get into the rhythm at the moment I sang Marionette.

"Kishimu yō ni ugokidasu sadame
Kuroi honō ga utsukushiku togatte
Tsuranuita inochi no kusabi," repeating the attack patterns, Whitley began to actually parry my strikes. I jumped back, giving him some time to relax as I began to attack at the end of the lines.

"Taorekonda sono basho de
Sotto me wo tojireba ī
"Jikan" ga miru yume no naka de
Yasuraka ni mu ni kaerou," to now somewhat throw him off, I took three leaps back followed by a leap forward, before propelling myself at him. He barely got his defenses up at the first word of the new stanza.

"JUSTICE yoake no ōzora ni
Mei hibiku toki no Campanella
JUSTICE kako ya yume ya kioku
Karamitsuku subete wo Just Reset!" Suddenly, the music changed, throwing him off guard again as my battle pattern changed again.

(Kamen Rider Kiva - Individual-System)

"Michi no sonzai tomerarenai

(People waiting for)

Itami to ikari soshite chikai

(Just you Ready to go)

Kokoro ga sakebu yonde 'ru Who's next?

(Just you Ready to go)" The entire time, I was attacking to the beat without hesitation or feints. Whitley began to breath heavily as the song went on, but he began to smile and his eyes shined as if it was something that spoke to him. Suddenly, he cut me off by making a glyph that launched me backwards.

He then reached behind him before pulling out a belt from... somewhere... and having it wrap around his waist. He spoke casually, "I apologize, but I now understand. My opponents can change their 'battle song' on a whim, so it may catch me off guard. To be honest, I didn't like fighting because I despised being dirtied. However, you made me realize what I will do in my life."

Whitley took out a bizarre duster and gripped it, firmly declaring, "All of those lives that were taken away in the mines... I'll return them to Oum!" He pressed it against his other palm, a robotic voice asking,

READY?

He shouted, "I believe the proper word for this is HENSHIN!"

FIST ON.

My jaw dropped as I witnessed him getting covered in armor. Aside from the red visor, it was mainly red, gold, white, and a bit grey. That armor... it's-!

He declared proudly, "IXA. Intercept X Attacker. Hope you can handle the force." I became wary and on edge as he took a white piece out before sliding it into the belt, proceeding to push the knuckle duster in before taking it out and running at me.

IXA KNUCKLE RISE UP

I quickly drew up my guard as the hit landed, before I was blasted off the edge as Sagark was disengaged and fell off me. The last thing I saw was Whitley having a horrified look on his face before the cliff blocked my view. However, I also realized something:

I was off their property.

Third Person POV:

Whitley ran towards the edge, "That was too much power...!"

LOADING! GIROTTOMIRO!

Something quickly flew up, surrounded in black mist, causing Whitley to stumble back as Weiss and Blanc ran to his side. The mist parted slightly, revealing a grinning Noir, "Next lesson! Never assume you know everything." He lifted his left arm, showing a bizarre brace with the Phantasm Eyecon held within it.

The brace resembled a camera slightly, its 'shutter' housing the Eyecon behind the 'lens' with a button on the side. Across the back, a large 'X' was depicted, touching all of the corners.

Noir asked the trio of Schnees, his left arm crossing over as his right hand contorted itself to be prepared to press the button, "Shall we continue the crash course?"

I'm back~! And Writer's Block sucks. Lately, I've been lacking inspiration and just reading other stories to reboot my creativity.

Next chapter, we'll continue where this left off at.

Here's a sneak preview of what's to come.

"EVOLUTION!"

"I AM IMMORTAL!"

"KAIGAN: TCHAIKOVSKY! BA-DA-DA BA-DA-DA DUM-DUM!"
