"You know, I didn't think that you would do this, of all things!" Shouted Sazh, as he and Lightning ran from a few Alpha Behemoths. They were all on a road, in The Hanging Edge. It had been a few minutes since they had arrived . "I didn't think they would have Alpha Behemoths, of all things" Said Lightning. Suddenly, a woman appeared in front of the duo, causing the Alpha Behemoths to stop chasing them. "Who are you?" Asked Lightning. "Miss Lightning Clare Farron, I am Emily Dual. You killed my best friend in another dimension, prepare to die" Said Emily. Emily then lunged at Lightning with her custom made weopon, but a man with white and red hair stood in the way, causing Emily to stop. "Don't do that" Said the man. "You look familiar" Said Emily. "Well, since you've known me for a few years from you're position, I can't be new to you" Said the man. "Hope? Is that you?" Asked Lightning. "Maybe. Anyway, you might want to start fighting" Said the man. The man then put on a Mach Driver Honoh. "Whoever you are, this is no time to play with toys" Said Lightning. "I sometimes wish this was a toy" Said the man, as he opened the Mach Driver Honoh, causing a drum beat to play. Six small toy looking moterbikes and a small toy looking moterbike with sidecar then flew around the man. "That one" Said the man, before he grabbed the white one. He then inserted it into the Mach Driver Honoh. "Signal Bike!" Declared the Mach Driver Honoh, making groovy music play. "Here we go. Let's... Henshin!" Declared the man, before he closed the Mach Driver Honoh. "Rider! Mach!" Declared the Mach Driver Honoh, before the man changed into Kamen Rider Mach.

Meanwhile, in another part of the Hanging Edge
"Mom, what are you going to do? Why did that man come over and talk to you?" Asked a silver haired boy. "Because, Hope. I'm going to help the man get us out of here" Said a woman. "But, mom..." Said Hope. "Hope. I need you to be brave" Said the woman. "Now!" Declared Snow, before he, the woman, and a few others attacked PSICOM officers with guns and, in Snow's case, his fists. Everything was going fine for Snow's army, until PSICOM brought in a Zirnitra. "That's not good" Said Snow. The Zirnitra then shot rapid fire lightning at Snow's army, witch killed a few of them. The rest of Snow's army then hid behind cover. "Are we all ok? Well, us that are living anyway" Said Snow. "Yeah" Said the woman. Snow then picked up a nearby gun, and started shooting at the Zirnitra. "Snow. I was formally part of PSICOM, when we made these. Shoot the tail, it will cause a chain reaction, destroying the body" Said a man, after he slide over to Snow. "Ok, thanks Gadot" Said Snow. "Everyone, focus fire on the tail!" Ordered Snow, before Snow's army started firing at the Zirnitra's tail. The woman also stood up and walked towards the Zirnitra, in an effort to get better aim. "Mom" Said Hope. Unfortunately, the woman got shot in the head, by a PSICOM Officer, killing her. "Mom! That jerk, he got my mom killed" Said Hope. Suddenly, a figure cut off the Zirnitra's tail, causing the Zirnitra to die. The figure then landed further down the road, revealing itself to be a woman, who had changed into Koryu Gold prior to appearing at the Hanging Edge. The woman then quickly knocked out all of the PSICOM units. She then walked back over to Snow. "Hello, I'm your saviour for the day. Now, while I usually do get paid for my services, I'm making an effort to not get paid and lead a double life. However, due to who you are and what you will do, it's becoming quite hard" Said the woman. "Well, you're services are noted. Unfortunately, reinforcements will be arriving" Said Snow. "No. You can't stay down here. The temple. A girl's in there, I scouted it beforehand. She was saying stuff like snow and lightning" Said the woman. "That's my girlfriend, soon to be wife, hopefully" Said Snow. "I can take you there, if you want" Said the woman. "Yes" Said Snow. The woman then took Snow's hand, and they both faded away.
Meanwhile, with Sazh and Lightning
The man then cancelled his transformation. "What's your name, kid?" Asked Sazh. "My name? It's Amaro" Said Amaro. "Well, Amaro, what the hell are you doing out here?" Asked Lightning. "I'm an archeologist" Lied Amaro. "What kind of archeologist?" Asked Lightning. "A special one. Believe it or not, an ghost strangled me to death when I was five. Perhaps that's what made me hack into a hacktivist group when I was 12" Said Amaro. "What?" Asked Lightning. "I hacked into the hacktivist group Anonymous when I was 12. Threatened to revile all members identities, and held the threat for 20 minutes. I decided to not revile all there identities. None of them were criminals, they never killed anyone" Said Amaro. "Wow. That is one of the best stories I've ever heard" Said Sazh. "Thanks. Wish it was" Said Amaro. "What's the real reason you didn't you revile there identities? Did they pay you?" Asked Lightning. "You know, you're feeling for justice is misguided. Now, come with me if you want to find Serah" Said Amaro, as a portal opened up behind him. Amaro, Sazh and Lightning then walked through the portal.
Meanwhile, with Hope
"Well, I need to find away up to the temple" Said Hope. "Hey, mister. Are you trying to get up to the temple?" Asked a girl in Purge clothes. "Um... yes" Said Hope. "Well, you might want to use one of those helocycles" Said the girl. "Thanks. What's your name?" Asked Hope. "Vanelle" Said Vanelle. "Thanks" Said Hope. "Hey. Do you mind if I come with you?" Asked Vanelle. "No" Said Hope. Hope and Vanelle then got on a helocycle, and used it to fly up to the temple.
Meanwhile, in a section of the temple
"How did you do that?" Asked Lightning. "Magic, of sorts. It's quite an interesting story. You will all be a part of it one day" Said Amaro. "Um, I think a good question is why did you place us in a monster infested area?" Asked Sazh, as many Cei'th shambled over to Amaro, Sazh and Lightning. "Oh, about that. Run, maybe? Or fight?" Asked Amaro. "Fight. Any day of the week" Said Lightning, as she drew her Blazefire Sabre. "Sure" Said Sazh, as he drew his guns. "Well, if we must" Said Amaro, before he drew a staff from his back. Suddenly, all the Cei'th were quickly destroyed. "What the..." Said Lightning. The woman, who was still Koryu Gold, and Snow, then walked over to Amaro, Lightning and Sazh. "Hello agian, Emily" Said Amaro. Emily then canceled her transformation. "Ho... Amaro, it's nice to see you agian" Said Emily. "Hey! You tried to kill me earlier!" Shouted Lightning. "Yes. Yes I did" Said Emily. "Why!?" Asked Lightning. "Is she always this shouty?" Asked Emily. "Answer me!" Shouted Lightning. "I guess so. Anyway, that me was from about a century ago. I was 16 at the time, give or take 7 years" Said Emily. "So, this all happened 1007 years ago, for you?" Asked Lightning. "Hazah! She's not shouting" Said Emily. "Well, anyway, what are you doing here, Snow?" Asked Lightning. "What? I can't save my soon to be wife from possible death?" Asked Snow. "Not when she's not going to be your wife" Said Lightning. "Well, girlfriend then" Said Snow. "Well, well, well. Look at this. The warriors that he told me about" Said a red monster, as it walked up to the group. "Demusha" Said Lightning. "Yep. Go, your sister needs you" Said Amaro, before Lightning, Snow and Sazh ran off. "Well, you wanted to take me on by yourselves? Like you can do it" Said Demusha. "Well, Emily. Let's get going" Said Amaro, before he and Emily put on a Sengoku Driver, with Amaro's having a Giam Faceplate, and Emily's having a Barron Faceplate. "Barron da?" Asked Hope. "Si" Said Emily. Denmusha then tried to rush Amaro and Emily, but they both dodged and locked a Ringo Lockseed into the Sengoku Driver. Amaro and Emily then pushed down the Cutting Blade on the Sengoku Driver. "Soyia/ Come on! Ringo Arms! Desire Forbidden Fruit!" Declared the Sengoku Driver, before Amaro and Emily changed into Giam Ringo Arms and Barron Ringo Arms. "So, shall we?" Asked Hope. "Might as well" Said Emily. "I'll get you!" Declared Denmusha, before he charged at Emily and Amaro agian, but they both blocked the attack with the Apple Reflector. "Nice try" Said Amaro, before he kicked him and slashed at him, knocking him back. Emily then quickly slashed at Denmusha rapidly, eventually knocking him down. Denmusha then stood up, and threw fireballs at Amaro and Emily, knocking them back a little. "Nice try" Said Emily. Amaro then gave Emily his Sword Bringer, before Emily pushed down the Cutting Blade twice. "Come on! Ringo Au Leit!" Declared the Sengoku Driver. Emily then threw the two Sword Bringers at Denmusha, destroying him. "Fun" Said Emily, before she and Amaro cancelled there transformations. Amaro then hugged Emily. "Thanks" Said Emily. "You're welcome" Said Amaro.
Meanwhile, in the centre of the temple
"Serah!" Shouted Snow and Lightning, as they ran over to her. "I'm ok..." Said Serah, before she turned into crystal. "Serah!?" Asked Snow. "She's turned into crystal" Said Lightning. "Yeah, but that doesn't mean she's dead. She's ok, Lightning" Said Snow. Lightning then hit Snow. "Yes it does!" Shouted Lightning. Suddenly, Lightning, Sazh and Snow faded away.
Meanwhile, in another section of the temple
"Well, we made it" Said Vanelle. "Yeah. Now, let's find that man" Said Hope. Suddenly, Vanelle and Hope faded away.
Meanwhile, in a secret place in the temple
Hope, Lightning, Snow, Sazh and Vanelle reappeared. "I have chosen you five warriors for a journey. A journey to change your future. Your goal. Kill Orphan" Said a booming voice. "Who are you?" Asked Lightning. "I am none of your concern" Said the booming voice. A light then went into the five warriors. "Will doing so save Serah?" Asked Snow. "Yes" Said the booming voice. "Alright!" Shouted Snow. "But... in exchange, I must take one of you to see my maker after your mission" Said the booming voice. "Ok. I'll go" Said Sazh. "I will chose from you" Said the booming voice. Hope, Lightning, Snow, Sazh and Vanelle then fell unconscious.
Meanwhile, on a massive airship
"Who is this?" Asked a woman in a revealing outfit. "I am Emily Dual. I would like to join your army" Said Emily. "Can you fight?" Asked the woman. "Definitely" Said Emily. "Welcome" Said the woman.
