Fruitlock Thirteen: The Strangers With The Magical Rings

Flynn, Cade, Joseph and Luke walk towards a crack in the fabric of reality that leads into the forest. Flynn leads them to a part of the forest that carries significant amounts of magic. Flynn pulls out a magic ring and activates its spell.

"Connect, Please!"

His hand is teleported into the top of the tree and he pulls out a maturing fruitlock. The purple fruitlock pulsates in Flynn's hand and it suddenly matures into a strawberry fruitlock.

"Wow, how did that happen?"

"I don't know, but these seeds are maturing into these locks. We found many of them scattered across the forest."

"How is that possible?"

"I don't know, but one thing's for sure. This forest cannot exist here. It is taking over parts of the city and soon it will overtake the Earth."

"Why?"

"I don't know Cade, but I do know that if we don't get rid of this forest you can kiss this place goodbye."

"That sucks. So what do we do now?"

"Let's focus on learning more about this forest so we can determine where it came from and who lives here."

The four trek across the forest and stumble across more fruitlocks. Cade picks up a few of them hoping to know more about their power and Luke looks around to see if any of the monsters appear. Suddenly, a group of Piercers appear on top of hopping vehicles preparing to attack them.

"Damn it! Looks like they were here first!"

"I know, let's do this!"

"Driver on, Please!"

"Driver on!"

"Transform!"

"Transform!"

"Transform!"

"Transform!"

"Flame, Please!"

"Set, Open, Lion!"

"Orange! Banana!"

"Locks on!"

"Orange Arms! Banana Arms!"

They transform into the respective Rider forms and fight against the Piercers. Unfortunately, their hoppers allow them to jump over their attacks which makes it harder for them to get closer to them. However, Cade finds a tulip lock which transforms into a tulip hopper. He uses it and easily defeats them. Wizard and Beast take advantage of the situation and use their attacks to defeat them.

"Flame, Slash Strike!"

"Toro Saber Strike!"

A group of 6 energy bulls and a giant flame appear in the sky and hit the Piercers.

"Now it's our turn!"

"Orange Au Lait!"

"Banana Split!"

They combine their attacks to defeat the other Piercers and they regroup after the fight.

"Well, why were they here?"

"I don't know Wizard, but they seem to be looking for something."

"Yeah, let's go find out and see what happened."

The four continue their trek across the forest until they find that a group of Piercers have taken in a group of monsters that appear to be docile and suddenly disappear from view.

"What the hell? Why are they carrying the monsters and to where?"

"I don't know. Are you sure those monsters are dangerous Cade?"

"I don't know anymore. We need more to go on before we barge in and attack."

"What are you doing here?"

The monster who had encountered Cade and Luke appears behind them with his sword drawn.

"I thought I told you not to come back. Your people have done enough damage here."

"Hold on. I told them they could come."

"And you are?"

"My name is Flynn Masters. I'm Kamen Rider Wizard."

"And I'm Joseph, Kamen Rider Beast."

"What are you doing here?"

"Well, it seems your forest has meshed in with our world. These portals are appearing out of nowhere and you have to know that they are tearing a hole into the fabric of reality. If this continues your forest will overtake the outer world."

"What? Can you be sure of that?"

"Yes. My magic shows me that if you don't stop this from happening the outer world and your world will be in danger. Two worlds can never overlap each other."

"Well, it looks like I have another problem to deal with. Follow me."

The four Riders follow the monster where he shows them materials left behind by the Piercers.

"It seems that your people left this around."

"Yeah, it looks that way. We're gonna take some of this so we can be sure of what we're dealing with."

"Alright, just be sure that you find out what's happening."

The Riders and the monster go their separate ways. They head back to another portal and return back to the city. They head to the antique shop where Flynn and Joseph had first met Cade.

"So here's the antique shop where I stay at."

"This looks cozy. So, who lives here?"

"This is my wife Sharon who I have been keeping alive with my magic. Sharon, these are my two friends Cade and Luke. They're Kamen Riders like us."

"Hi, nice to meet you."

"You too Sharon. Hey Flynn, we met two people like you named Art and Landon. Do you know them? They said they were Kamen Riders too."

"Yeah, I do know them. Listen, the reason I need you two is because we need to find out what is going on here and what Pantheon is up to."

"But what can we do?"

"There's a private investigation office a few blocks away. They can help you get the answers and we can finally solve the riddle to what is going on."

"You mean the Myers?"

"Yeah, why?"

"Art gave us this yellow page for us to contact them."

"Nice. Well, you should go to them Cade so they can learn more about Pantheon."

"Fair enough. I'll be back in a few."
