*Camera turns on*
*The camera spots that ZS Connor and Dark Prelate Mitchell are commentating. Also in the background behind the two commentators is Gene.*
*Gene is cleaning up the mess with the logs, while the show goes on.*
ZS Connor: "Welcome back...again...for who knows how many times so far today."
Dark Prelate Mitchell: "Yeah...we need a break…"
ZS Connor: *Bringing up the elephant in the room* "Uh...Don't pay to Gene, just focus on us since we are the one commentating. But with that little detail, The first topic-"
Gene: *Interrupting the show* "The topic is about how this studio is a mess...and that these two don't have to do the back breaking work."
Dark Prelate Mitchell: "Shut up back there! You're not supposed to be giving commentary!"
Gene: *Responding back with, "Says the man who has the easy job of talking." *Walks forward standing near ZS Connor.* "And also, I got to say your co-host here is way more lively than you…"
ZS Connor: "You mind not saying such things to my friend?"
Dark Prelate Mitchell: "... … ...I'm gonna nip this problem at the bud…" *gets up and leaves*
Gene: *Calls out to Dark Prelate Mitchell* "He's not in the studio, by the way…" *Switches to ZS Connor* "Also, if you consider that guy to be your friend...Something tells me you must not have a lot of friends."
ZS Connor: *Responding back with,"The same could be said to you, Gene. Except I think in your case it's because you're short."*
Gene: *A bit frustrated* "You're playing my game...and the only thing that will happen is you losing, Connor."
ZS Connor: "Oh...so is this a game? I don't see my competition because he's too small to be in my sight...Oh wait, I see him now, just had to look down."
Gene: *Is getting very frustrated.* "Why you-I mean-You're just…"
ZS Connor: "Do you need me to get two soap boxes? One to stand on to better announce what you want to say and the other to get you on top of said box?"
Gene: *Eye twitches before he just glares at ZS Connor.*
Dark Prelate Mitchell: *re-enters* "I couldn't find Triple-M, so I brought the next best thing…"
Gene: *Very angry in tone* "It's nice to see your co-host is back…"
*IceBite and Alma Enter*
IceBite: "What's going on here?"
Gene: *Eyes widen before returning back to glaring at ZS Connor and Dark Prelate Mitchell* "Just a small talk, Ice...You don't need to be here for it."
Dark Prelate Mitchell: "Actually, this guy was interrupting while we were commentating…"
Gene: "Or perhaps you were interrupting my work with your show, with your serious lack of charismatic words, 'Dark 'Bore'late Mitchell'.
Alma: "Ahem…"
Gene: *His anger was overwhelming any amount of fear.* "Actually, I have to know what kind of title is 'Dark Prelate' anyway...It sounds so idiotic when you say it out loud and think about it."
Dark Prelate Mitchell: "Hey! It's an actually rank amongst the Nerazim! Would you rather me go by Rogue Trader Mitchell?"
Gene: "No...Because that one is just as worse…I bet every single other rank or title you pathetically earned is just as stupid sounding."
Dark Prelate Mitchell: "Imperial Knight Freeblade…various Kamen Rider Identities...Huntsman...Demi-CPU… … ...that's about all I can remember…"
Gene: "Oh! So you're a medieval mercenary that takes jobs for free, a impersonator of worthless nobodies, a common animal hunter, and self-proclaimed computer part. What a 'worthwhile' set of associations.
Dark Prelate Mitchell: "Ok, FIRST OFF: an Imperial Knight Freeblade is an Imperial Knight from the Imperium of Man that does not have a Knight House...SECOND OFF: Kamen Riders are AWESOME...THIRD OFF: I mean a Huntsman as in a hunter of MONSTERS...and FOURTH OFF: a Demi-CPU is kinda the equivalent of a Demi-God in their homeworld… … ...which admittedly IS themed after Game Consoles…"
Alma: "You're a monster hunter? Maybe we should trade tales sometime…"
Dark Prelate Mitchell: *shrugs* "Maybe…"
Gene: "All I heard was 'blah blah blah'...Maybe you should you say that again with a bit more lively tone."
IceBite: "Or maybe you should just shut up and listen...Anyways, you two are supposed to be commentating for a chapter...which should begin soon…"
*Chapter 7 starts*
Chapter 7: Onward, to Victory!
The group arrived just far away enough from the Plegian Capital to stop. A spy was sent out to retrieve information on when Emmeryn was planned to be executed.
The information he received suggested that Emmeryn was set to be executed the next day. This meant that the Shepherds had to get there QUICKLY or Emmeryn would not survive. They rested up and readied to march the next day.
As he went to his tent to get some rest, Chrom met up with someone. "Ah, Noire, it's good to see you. Are you ready for tomorrow?"
The CPU turned to Chrom. "Oh, yes, I am," she replied, "Why wouldn't I be?"
"I'm...sorry, was just asking."
"It's fine…" CPU Noire replied, before saying, "So...this is it: should we succeed here, Emmeryn will be safe...we better not screw this up…"
"I'll say…" Chrom replied, before thinking about something…"Listen, once this war is over, which I hope will be soon, there's something I want to talk to you about…"
"Why not now?" CPU Noire asked.
"Because...well...I think it'd be best to wait until the war won't interrupt for it to be discussed...is that ok?"
CPU Noire huffed. "Fine…Until tomorrow then…" With that, the two parted ways.
The next day, they arrived just in time for Gangrel to begin ordering the execution...giving Flavia JUST enough time to strike the executioner with a throwing axe. With pinpoint accuracy, she hit her target, sending the wounded axe wielder tumbling to his doom. With that, the order was given: the battle had begun…
Connor gave a look at Daniel while saying, "Hope this plan of your works out in the end." before he ran off armed with his .50 AE Pistol.
Several enemies were advancing towards Connor and they were planning to overwhelm him with numbers. That failed as Connor instead overwhelmed them with a hail of bullets he fired.
Some of them ended up falling to the ground dead, while others were unlucky enough to be wounded in either leg as they fell in pain. The wounded were quickly shot again to finish them off.
Swapping over to his sword, Connor went invisible after his decoy was sent out to ambush a trio of enemies. They fell for it and three more enemies went down.
Meanwhile, Daniel had teamed up with Tsukasa and Daiki, and had, as Kamen Rider Phantom, begun laying down a field of fire, cutting down multiple Plegian Soldiers.
Phantom then noticed something: he recognized Libra, who was now being overrun with Plegian swordsmen. "Guys! We need to advance further?"
"Then allow me!" Daiki announced, inserting a couple cards into the DienDriver.
"KAMEN RIDE: DELTA!"
"KAMEN RIDE: DRAKE!"
This summoned the aforementioned Kamen Riders to Diend's side. He then inserted another card into the driver.
"ATTACK RIDE: CROSS ATTACK!"
The trio of Riders pointed their weapons and opened fire, cutting through the Plegians they were fighting, and also taking some heat off of Libra. Decade and Phantom, their weapons now in sword form, struck down the remaining enemies.
"Don't worry: we're with Chrom," Daniel informed the War Monk.
Libra nodded. "Then thank Naga you are here. My group came attempting to rescue Lady Emmeryn...I am the only survivor…"
"We're here to rescue Emmeryn as well. Keep with us and she'll be on her way back to Ylisse by dinner!"
"...Very well…" With that, Libra joined the Kamen Riders in fighting their way to Emmeryn.
Meanwhile, Chrom and Noire were on the other side of the battle field, where they met a Dark Mage...
Chrom asked her, "You there! Are you with the Plegians? You seem reluctant to fight."
"Death comes to all of us eventually," the Dark Mage replied, "Why invite it early, fighting for a cause I don't believe in?"
"So... I should take that as a no, or…"
"Let's just say I'm keeping my options open. I mean, long live the king and all, but I'd like to keep living as well. And I have a bit of a rebellious streak, I'm afraid. A...dark side."
Chrom smiled. "Then perhaps you would rebel now and fight for our cause?"
The Dark Mage looked confused. "...You would trust me? What if this all just a ploy to plunge a dagger in your back?"
Chrom shook his head. "My sister, the exalt—I think she would trust you. And I'm trying to learn from her. Besides, I already need to watch my back, whether you're with us or not."
The Dark Mage seemed to think for a time. "Well, that's odd... Usually when I bring up the backstabbing bit the discussion is over. All right, then—consider me your new ally. ...For now."
And so, the Shepherds also recruited a Dark Mage…
Connor found himself further away from the group as he continued to navigate across the battlefield in invisible stealth. Plegian Soldiers went by unaware that someone was slipping by them.
Sneaking past the two forts, the invisible Connor took a Plegian soldier with his Deathclaw Gauntlet, slashing from behind at the soldier's back.
The claws easily went through any defense in the attire and took the man out as he collapsed. Connor then became visible...and was spotted by the Plegian General in charge of fighting.
The General had a thick suit of armor on and it looked like it could take a lot of damage...The claws, however, would still be able to tear through it like butter.
"You'll never save your precious exalt, scum!" came out from the General when he tried to strike Connor.
"No, I will...But no one is going to be there to save your sorry hide." Connor retorted as he dodged away from the attack. More attacks kept coming and Connor kept dodging each one.
With the General slowing down and tiring out from attacking so many times, Connor finally attacked back. He first slashed with the arms of the General with the clawed gauntlet, making the General drop his weapon due to the pain.
Then Connor slashed his legs, bringing the Plegian down...before Connor finished with vertically slashing the torso armor quickly a few times and slamming the claws into the torso. Connor then forced the claws back out.
In the sparse amount of time left in the General's life, Connor just said, "Your death was inevitable...Whoever you are."
The General collapsed, muttering out "Urgh...Killing me will only...feed Plegia's rage…" as he finally breathed his last breath.
The battle over, and the Wyvern Riders fallen, Chrom gave the signal and Phila and her Pegasus Knights arrived… … ...only for Aversa to summon the Risen.
Lenora began to panick. "No no no…"
Chrom gasped, "We've lost…"
'Not yet, we haven't,' Daniel thought, as he gave the signal. "The time has come," he whispered into his comm, "The time to strike has arrived…" He then focused a non-visible laser on the spot where the Risen stood.
"Ah, FINALLY!"
Gangrel, having missed this, commented, "I believe this is what they call a reversal of fortunes. Now... grovel before me. Plead! Beg for your worthless lives!"
Chrom growled, "I'd give up my life before I beg for it from you."
"Oh, now THAT is a good line. A fitting epitaph for your tombstone, perhaps? But it's not just your life in the balance. The exalt still stands upon the block. And I have a dozen bows trained on her. All it would take is one word from me…"
"Emm! Hold on, I'm-" Chrom stopped as the Risen aimed upward.
"ARCHERS! If this Ylissean pup so much as twitches, let fly your arrows!" Gangrel ordered… … …
...And that's when things got strange: a loud roaring and whistling, like something falling, sounded…and a massive, teardrop-shaped pod of metal crashed down, squashing the Risen.
"This was the plan? Just to drop down one of these on the ground?" Connor said aloud, unaware of what was going to happen next...
Daniel, who'd already dismissed his Kamen Rider gear, charged forward, and leapt to the top of the pod. "PLEGIANS! HEAR ME! My name is Daniel Mitchell, and yes, I'm an ally of Ylisse! However, that doesn't make me or any other Ylissean your enemy!"
"OF COURSE you're the enemy! After what all you did before-"
"That was FIFTHTEEN YEARS AGO, Mad King, the people responsible for that have already passed on!" Daniel retorted.
"ALL YLISSEANS are responsible!" Gangrel countered, "All they are are hypocrites: chanting peace yet crushing those who disagree with them!"
"Change in regime and all that, Mad King: not all Ylisseans are like that, and Emmeryn is proof of that: she loves EVERYONE: Ylissean, Feroxi, or Plegian; Human, Taguel or Manakete; EVERYONE! And yet, you all drag her up here and seek to murder her! WHO'S THE ONE BRINGING RUIN NOW, HUH GANGREL?! You claim the Plegians suffered: The Ylisseans did as well: families torn apart, lives lost: Emmeryn ended that by bringing the soldiers home...and by doing so, spared your people further ruin as well!"
"And yet, she is the child of the man who DID all that!" Gangrel countered.
Daniel's look became angered. "NEVER judge the child by their father's sins…"
"I will judge ANYONE, ANYHOW I please! I AM KING, after all! Now STRIKE this LOUDMOUTH down, or YOU will face execution!"
"IS THIS THE KIND OF MAN YOU ARE WILLING TO FOLLOW?!" Daniel shouted, "YOU JUST HEARD HIM:HE'LL KILL YOU JUST FOR NOT FIGHTING!" He turned back to Gangrel. "DO YOUR PEOPLE TRULY MEAN THAT LITTLE TO YOU?!"
"NOTHING IS MORE IMPORTANT THAN MY REVENGE AGAINST YLISSE! ALL THESE SOLDIERS ARE, ARE USELESS PAWNS TO THAT GOAL!" Gangrel...immediately realized what he just said, and covered his mouth. Aversa facepalmed, and the soldiers froze.
"... … ...You heard him," Daniel stated, breaking the silence. "You mean NOTHING to him: the quote-unquote 'Witch-Queen' you hate so much cares about you more than your own king...Who should you be listening to, then? You decide… … …" Daniel finally quieted down after that.
Underneath the armor's helmet, Connor was smiling...As he saw Plegian Soldiers turn to their king, disgusted with the man as they held onto their weapons.
The Shepherds were equally surprised: Daniel just practically gave Gangrel the shovel with which to dig his own grave with...and then shove himself in…
Emmeryn was equally shocked: with just words, Daniel turned Gangrel's men against him.
Gangrel finally flared up again. "What are you waiting for?! KILL THEM!"
The Plegians waited...and one at a time, left the field, some sprinting out to tell the story of what happened there.
"GAH! Aversa, you have anymore Risen?!" he asked.
Aversa sighed irritably...before summoning FAR more than last time, and not just archers either.
Daniel looked down and stomped on the pod. "It is TIME!" The sides of the pod fell open, squashing some of the Risen… … ...as 5 more pods fell from the sky. Inside THIS pod...was a massive form, boxy in shape, with a pair of stubby arms and stubby legs. It was silver and blue, and had what looked like some kind of helmet on a pedestal on the front. Its left hand was claws, and had a flamethrower attached to it, with the other one being replaced with a large plasma cannon..
"... … …" was all Connor had to say. But in his mind he was saying, "That's...overkill, Daniel."
Then, when the other pods landed, they unleashed a grand total of 30 soldiers, all armed in armor larger than that of normal knights. Each had the symbol of crossed swords on their left shoulder, each wielding a weapon the Shepherds, by now, recognize as some kind of 'gun'.
"Astral Knights!" Daniel called, "Let us clean up these Risen, and let the Plegians who turned against Gangrel get to safety, while the Shepherds and I rescue Emmeryn!"
"We shall Cleanse these Undead! In the name of the fallen AND the Emperor!" the massive blocky figure announced.
"Then good fortune, Brother Thade...not like you'll need it against these things!" Daniel then leapt down, first onto 'Brother Thade', then back to the ground, before blinking back to the Shepherds. "Quickly! Now's our chance!"
Chrom froze for a moment, before nodding. "Right…FORWARD!"
The battle started anew, as the Astral Knights tore viciously into the Risen, with a zeal only Space Marines could muster, while the Shepherds fought their way towards Emmeryn.
In this mess of Risen, Connor slashed and shot his way through the Risen that crossed his path...as he actually did not advance with the group. Instead, he went towards the area of the battlefield that was to be used as an escape route if the Avatars' plan had failed.
Once he got there, his goal, along with several Feroxian soldiers was to keep a escape route open for the group when they saved Emmeryn and had to get her off the battlefield.
With the current area clear of Risen at the moment, Connor made sure to see the person tasked with watching over the escape route...except he never thought it would be that "person'...
The 'person' being Olivia...The same woman he met back in Ferox.
Olivia noticed the strange man in armor and thought she remembered seeing that design before. She quietly approached Connor, unaware it was the same person.
"Uh...Pardon...have we met before? Your….armor...I've seen it….some time ago. Can I ask...for your name?" Olivia nervously asked.
Connor decided to remove his armor's helmet...and spoke up once it was off. "Connor. If you want the full name, Connor Thomas...But you already know that, Olivia."
Olivia was taken back as she saw that it was the same Connor...Except he was out here, armed with weapons.
"I...thought you said you...were with a group for the tournament...Why...are you out here?" Olivia asked.
"Because the group I'm with is the Shepherds...And I'm here now to help make sure this escape route stay open. Why are you here?" Connor answered and asked back.
Olivia hesitated to answer, before she did with, "I...I'm trying to be helpful...in any way...I can. Basilio let me be here as a lookout...instead of staying off the battlefield...unable to do anything."
"Well...then I...better let you get back to it. I should get back to helping these soldiers keep the area safe." Connor said, placing his helmet back on afterwards.
Some Risen from further into the battlefield made there way towards the area of the escape plan. They were quickly picked off by Connor with his Infinity pistol.
Meanwhile, Daniel and the Shepherds continued forward, but soon, the sheer amounts of Risen blocked them off...and they saw 5 loyalists to Gangrel nearing Emmeryn.
"On it!" Daniel called...as he blinked up, and used Shadow Fury to take them down. Daniel then continued covering Emmeryn, until the Shepherds arrived. Unfortunately, Gangrel fled during the fighting, as did Aversa.
Thanks to the group's efforts: Emmeryn was rescued, the Plegian Army was in shambles, and Gangrel was on the run…
The Shepherds made their way to the rendezvous point, so they could fall back and plan how to take down Gangrel for good…
After regrouping, the group received word that Gangrel was fleeing south of the Plegian Capital. There was also some information that a loyal band of soldiers were accompanying him, despite the word from other soldiers that refused to fight for him.
The last set of information that got mentioned was that Gangrel himself was spotted armed with weapons to defend himself.
At this point, Chrom told the group that they have to end his attempt to escape because if they failed to stop him, he would be able to hide till he got enough power and influence to continue his personal revenge against the kingdom of Ylisse.
Some time passed as the group chased after Gangrel, stopping near a oasis in the sea of sand.
Gangrel ordered his loyal soldiers to fight and they agreed to do so. The loyal Plegians were the best of the best...but even they were no match for Connor and Daniel. With the last soldier defeated and dead on the ground, Gangrel had reached his most desperate moment.
...That was, until…
Daniel froze.
"Hey, what's wrong with you? Gangrel's right there." Connor said confused at what made Daniel stop suddenly.
"...No… … ...NO…"
Gangrel smiled. "Oh, YES! I bet YOU recognize...my LITTLE FRIEND!"
From the shadows charged a figure in armor similar to that of Daniel's Space Marine allies, only bright red, with orange and gold trim. His helmet had a set of strange horns on it, and had a t-shaped slit in it.
"...It is...everyone...get back...this foe is beyond any of you…Only I have experience against these guys… … ..."
"You sure about that?" Connor skeptically said.
"RAH! BLOOD FOR THE BLOOD GOD! SKULLS FOR THE SKULL THRONE!"
With that, Gangrel fled again, leaving the group to deal with the Khornate Berserker, who charged...only to be knocked back by Daniel's psionics.
"Yes, I'm sure...I've faced these guys before! You guys get going after Gangrel! NOW!" Daniel replied...before moving into a pose, tucking his left arm to his side, while holding his right arm across his chest.
"Well...You guys heard the man, move it. And...Good luck, Daniel." Connor said, before chasing down Gangrel with the rest of the group.
*Music Track: "Action-ZERO" by Yuto Sakurai & Deneb (Yuichi Nakamura & Hōchū Ōtsuka); Skip ahead to 1:02*
Daniel closed his eyes, lowered his head, then moved his right arm in an arc over his head, before rapidly swapping into a mirror of the original pose...causing a portal to crackle open. A small, thin bock flew out, which Daniel grabbed and attached to a belt that appeared around his waist. "HENSHIN!"
"KAMEN RIDE: DANILOS! RIDE FORM!"
A bright flash appeared, getting the attention of those around: Daniel was then surrounded by three images, that coalesced over him and formed into a plain suit of armor that had a theme somewhat resembling a railroad track. Then, a pair of objects rolled in from the tracks on the head, turning into a pair of eye lenses that had 'horns' coming off them. A series of cards appeared in mid-air, before flying at Daniel's face, turning into fins with a barcode-like pattern to them. Additional armor also appeared over his torso piece, in a series of images, that formed to his sides, and slammed shut over him. Said torso armor was green and yellow, and resembled an off-center X. Finally, a strange energy circle appeared at his feet and rapidly travelled up him, clothing him in a bejeweled black robe with emeralds on it.
Daniel had become one of his most powerful Rider Identities: the Warp-Void Warrior, Kamen Rider Danilos.
A few Shepherds and Connor stopped to watch Daniel fight from a distance as the others kept going.
Then, from a cloud that appeared over him, a weapon that resembled a rifle with gun barrels strapped to the end of it lowered from the sky, which Daniel grabbed, and, while striking a pose, announced, "Kamen Rider Danilos has taken the stage!"
The audience were a bit amazed from the transformation. Connor wasn't as amazed...because he was waiting for the fight to start.
He then aimed for the weapon, his Chaos Void Blaster, and fired, each barrel firing a blast a second, which, in sequence, caused a flurry of bolts to fly out, and strike the Berserker, who charged forward, barely flinching. When he got close, the Khornate Berserker began swinging his Chain Axes at Danilos, who dodged some strikes and blocked others using the Chaos Void Blaster.
At one point, a Chain Axe DID strike Danilos...but he continued fighting.
"YOU! I REMEMBER YOU! I WILL ASCEND TO DAEMONHOOD WHEN I PRESENT YOUR SKULL TO KHORNE!"
"I'd like to see you TRY!" Danilos replied, leaping away, before pulling two cards from the box on his belt, and inserting them into the other end of the box.
"SHOOTING VENT!"
"ATTACK RIDE: BLAST"
First, a pistol appeared and landed in Danilos' empty hand, then both weapons fired out a massive burst of shots, firing wildly at the Berserker, who took them head on, staggering.
Connor wasn't really impressed as he watched, but everyone else was.
"YOU...YOU! I WILL TEAR YOUR SKULL FROM YOUR HEAD, BEAT YOU TO DEATH WITH IT, THEN PRESENT IT AND YOUR MANGLED CORPSE TO THE BLOOD GOD!"
The Berserker charged forward again.
Danilos repeated what he did before, inserting a pair of cards into his belt.
"SWORD VENT!"
"ATTACK RIDE! SLASH!"
As a sword manifested itself and replaced the pistol in Daniel's hand, the rifle in his other hand changed itself, folding so it was now a single rod, with the barrel section splitting in half, and the barrels becoming a crossguard as a sword blade grew from the weapon.
Connor was intrigued, despite no one else being able to tell.
Daniel then clashed with the Berserker, as the sword blades glowed. The agility of a Kamen Rider faced off with the raw power of a Khornate Worshipper...and the agility was winning…
Soon, the two backed off from each other. "You...you...YOU WILL SOON FALL! IF NOT TO ME, THEN TO ANOTHER!"
"Not...on my…" he pulled out a card, which held an emblem that resembled his mask's face. "...WATCH!" He then...inserted the card.
"FINAL ATTACK RIDE: D-D-D-DANILOS!"
"FULL CHARGE!"
"FINAL VENT!"
The onlookers were waiting for the attack as Connor cheered on by himself in his mind.
Danilos then leapt high into the air, before he began spinning at high speeds...and a starburst appeared around him.
"Chaos...STAR DRILL!" his voice shouted, as he then flew at the Berserker, spinning rapidly like a drill...before striking the Berserker. The Berserker's armor held...for all but two seconds…
Danilos travelled right through, spinning like a top upon emerging, while the Khornate Berserker staggered back, a hole in his chest...before sparking with electricity and exploding. Danilos stopped spinning shortly afterwards.
*End Track*
The onlookers actively cheered on, with Connor doing the same, this time with his voice. But that didn't last long as he reminded the other onlookers of what they were supposed to be doing. They quickly speed off to catch up with the other chasers.
Danilos dismissed his armor, and turned back into Daniel, who then stopped there, before looking at the sky. "...Heh...been a long time...I'll need to get to training again…" He then turned to the dead Berserker. "...After I destroy this thing and everything on it…"
Meanwhile, Gangrel had run out of people to place between him and his chasers. It was time to fight at this point.
As Gangrel pulled out the Levin sword in his possession, the Shepherds who were chasing him back off...knowing if they were within a certain distance, he could attack them with the Levin sword magical attacks.
Of course, there was one who dared to continue...Chrom. Wielding the Falchion, he charged forward to attack the Mad King.
The Levin sword was raised in the air, activating its magic and sending a bolt of energy at Chrom, Chrom dodged it in time and kept advancing, readying for the powerful attack to strike at the right moment.
Another bolt was sent and dodged. With the distance closing, Chrom chose this moment to attack, putting it all into this one attack.
The Falchion struck Gangrel with all of the force behind it from the wielder, sending the Mad King into the air before crashing back down into the ground. The Levin sword ended up being separated from Gangrel after he landed.
With Gangrel down on the ground, Chrom had the chance to end it there...to end the Mad King once and for all…
Yet, despite having the chance and the justification...Chrom didn't attack again. Instead, he just stared down the Mad King before leaving him there to writhe in pain.
Gangrel laid there on the ground not moving around as he tried to fight the pain in his body. All of his aspirations were going to fail and there was nothing he could do to exact his revenge…
...Yet despite the futility of his actions, he used the last of his strength to try attacking Chrom once again...hoping he would at least end the one person who foolishly decided to spare him.
His attack never connected...or got anywhere near Chrom. Instead Gangrel found himself getting holded up into the air.
The force was magical in nature and it came from Connor as his hand flowing with magic snapped back quickly. The Mad King soared towards Connor, who used his other hand to land a hook that slammed into the Plegian king's face.
The impact knocked Gangrel onto his back, finally making the madman unconscious. Yet when Connor looked around to see everyone else, they were stunned.
In all of the battles they seen Connor in...They never saw him use magic. It was assumed from his combat style that he only realized on his skills and equipment...not magic.
"...Guess I showed off another trick of mine a bit earlier than I wanted to." was the only thing Connor said.
The War...It was finally over...And Emmeryn was still alive.
The plan devised by Daniel had worked, averting the fate of the Avatars' plan.
With the massive force of Risen being annihilated, the Feroxian Army had captured Gangrel and removed any and all weapons and items of interest. The Mad King was then sent back to the Plegian Capital to face the crimes and atrocities he committed in his reign.
Word had spread around that the Plegian people have taken Gangrel's reputation through the wringer...meaning that the chance of him not paying for his actions was practically non-existent.
Another shocking piece of news: Chrom proposed to CPU Noire! After a shock-induced outburst, CPU Noire actually agreed.
None were more surprised than Daniel: "How did Chrom and Noire get together? And how did Ms Tsundere last long enough to fall for him?!" was what he asked when both were absent.
The only person willing to answer was Connor, who just nonchalantly said, "Does it really matter? If he feels that he's in love with her and vice versa, who are we to judge?"
"...I guess that's true…" Daniel replied, "Just surprised is all…"
"Hmm...Well...the two of them are going to prove their love for each other in a ceremony. As for me, I'm going to go meet up with a certain 'Dancer' and get to know her better. See you later, Daniel." Connor stated before ditching Daniel to be by himself.
...Daniel spent the next few minutes wondering why Connor was wanting to get to know Olivia specifically…
*Camera switches over.*
Gene: *Trying to push Dark Prelate Mitchell's buttons.* "And yet another 'fake' impersonation of the worthless nobodies called Kamen Riders...You really outdone yourself, Mitchell."
Dark Prelate Mitchell: *gets up...and gets into the pose he did in the chapter* "You REALLY wanna test how 'worthless' it is?"
Gene: *A smug smile forms.* "Don't even bother, your 'worthless' impersonation is just going to fall apart."
ZS Connor: *Moves out of Gene's sight and puts on his armor's helmet. He leaves a decoy in his original position as he turns invisible.*
Dark Prelate Mitchell: *trembling in anger*
Gene: *Still mocking with that smug look* "So...you done wasting my time with your 'worthless' actions, or are you actually going do something?"
Dark Prelate Mitchell: *transforms the rest of the way into Kamen Rider Danilos*
Kamen Rider Danilos: *points the Chaos Void Blaster at Gene*
Gene: "You really think you'll hit me with that? You-" *Suddenly struggles to breathe.*
*ZS Connor reappears, choking out Gene till he gets unconscious. Once Gene was out, Connor places the unciousiness Gene over his shoulder.*
ZS Connor: *To Dark Prelate Mitchell* "...Probably better I did this instead of what you were going to do, Daniel. Uh...I'm going to go drop him off at his room...So, I'll be back shortly."
*ZS Connor departs to go drop Gene off in his room.*
*While ZS Connor was gone, the three remaining people in the room try to go on with the show…*
*None of them really had much to say, especially with Dark Prelate Mitchell trying to calm down, so they just waited for ZS Connor to get back…*
ZS Connor: *Returns back and heads back to his spot near Dark Prelate Mitchell* "So...Did you guys start talking about anything?"
Dark Prelate Mitchell: "...No…"
ZS Connor: *Looks at Ice and Alma* "You two can leave now...me and my partner here need to get to work."
IceBite: *nods, and he and Alma leave*
ZS Connor: "Hopefully without any more problems...I got to say, what's with the new Kamen Rider identity?"
Dark Prelate Mitchell: "It's something I whipped up while traveling through the StarCraft, Kamen Rider, and Warhammer 40K Universes: using powerful Psionic Construction, an Advent Deck, and Warp Sorcery, I made a powerful new Kamen Rider Identity that operates on cards similarly to the Ryuki and Decade Riders."
ZS Connor: "Interesting. Uhm...You got anything you noticed that you need to ask about?
Dark Prelate Mitchell: "...About that power you used to knock out Gangrel… … ..."
ZS Connor: "Ah, yes...That was a power I got from the Dishonored Universe. Simply put, I can either pull people towards me and attack them, or I can pull myself over to the top of a building or cliff. But...mainly, I use it in combat."
Dark Prelate Mitchell: "So looks like we both got some secret stuff to use in combat…"
ZS Connor: "That we do...But you seem to have an even bigger secret going on...I'm sure that 'one' is going to be hard to keep under wraps now."
Dark Prelate Mitchell: "You would think that…" *smirks smugly*
ZS Connor: *In a tired tone* "And that's the end of the segment. It's not really...But I can't keep going."
Dark Prelate Mitchell: "So...I guess that it…"
ZS Connor: "So...see you later whenever the next chapter of DA is up."
