"Frederick, the Shepherds could use someone with Robin's talents. And Daigo and Ryo are certainly not pushovers either." Chrom spoke to Frederick. "We've brigands and unruly neighbors, all looking to bloody our soil. Would you really have use lose such able warriors? Besides, as odd as their stories are, I believe them."
Currently, the six were walking down a forest path, Frederick currently talking to Chrom off to the side about their new recruits while Daigo was talking with SamuraiMaru, Ryo adding in every once in a while. Robin was doing the same for Chrom and Frederick's conversation. Lissa was eavesdropping in on Daigo and SamuraiMaru's conversation though.
"Milord, those brigands spoke with a Plegian accent. Is it so far-fetched to believe that these three may be from Plegia?"
"What's Plegia?" Robin asked.
"Plegia is Ylisse's westerly neighbor. They send small bands into our territory, hoping to instigate a war. Though I highly doubt that Ryo and Daigo are bandits. Their accents sound remarkably un-Plegian."
With Daigo and Ryo…
"So, you two have families back home that you're estranged from?" SamuraiMaru asked.
"Yeah, after an accident happened around a year ago, the two of us left our families and moved into an apartment around a city or two away. I haven't seen my sister since and… she's been less then happy to see me."
"What exactly happened? What is this "accident"?"
"I'm not ready to tell yet, SamuraiMaru, but I promise that I'll tell you someday."
Lissa stopped walking, the others taking a moment to stop as well.
"What's wrong Lissa?" Chrom asked.
"I told you- it's getting dark already! Ech! And now the bugs are out! Noisy, disgusting bugs that buzz around and crawl all over and bite you when- Agh! Won goph in mah mouph! Blech! Ptooey!"
"…Lissa, you've seen our Rider forms. And they look remarkably like bugs but you didn't complain then" Daigo pointed out. He was ignored.
Ryo couldn't respond because he was laughing so hard he couldn't breathe.
"Aw come on now, Lissa. Hardship builds character. Want to help me gather firewood?" Frederick asked.
"Tpht! Tpht! Yeeeeeuck!... I think I swallowed it… I'll pass on finding firewood, thanks. I think I've built QUITE enough character for one day!" Lissa crossed her arms and stubbornly said.
"…you haven't DONE anything" Robin retorted, causing Lissa to glare at him. Ryo on the other hand was now clutching at his side and gasping for a breath while laughing.
"…that was not that funny. You do not need to be laughing so hard" Daigo turned to Ryo and blankly said.
"We should probably think about food. I don't know about you, but I'm starving." Robin spoke up.
"Yes, I should think a little hunting and gathering is in order. Now, who wants to clear a campsite?" Frederick asked.
Begin Theme: Story By: Camino
(Music) The Shogun Cores, Kaizoku Bullets, Turbo Orbs, and Core Gems are seen on the screen before they start glowing. The screen changes to a shot of Ryo and Daigo back to back, Ryo having on the Kaizoku Shot in his hand while Daigo has SamuraiMaru on his waist and the Shogun Brace on his wrist. They activate them in a side-by-side split-screen effect, the screen changing to the title: "Kamen Riders Shogun and Kaizoku: Turbo Awakening."
(Hikaru sora wo miage kakenukeru kumo oikakete ita) Daigo practices with his Shogun Saber alone in a room. SamuraiMaru says something through the Shogun Brace. He stops and sheaths his sword as he is replaced by Shogun.
(Nagareru toki no naka de todokanu omoi samayotteru) Ryo jumped over objects and ran through a battlefield, dodging every attack that came his way and blasting every person who attacked him in the head while also slashing with his Kaizoku Cutlass. He stopped when he rested the barrel of his Kaizoku Shot onto the side of someone's head and fired as he is replaced by Kaizoku.
(Kokoro ni daiteta ikite kita akashi) Robin and Marth are seen back to back, Robin having the Turbo Driver on his waist while Marth was looking at the Parallel Falchion.
(Maiagare inochi no honoo ima) Robin looked up to see Chrom, Ryo, and Daigo all standing in the distance, smiling at him while Lissa and Frederick were behind them, waving as well. Marth looked up to see several figures in the distance. The two ran from their position to the people on their respective sides.
(Kurikaesareru jidai ni) Daigo, Ryo, and Robin stand in a line as they shout: "Shogun/Kaizoku/Turbo Henshin!"
(Ima tashika na shinjitsu wo) They activate their devices as their armor forms around them.
(Yuruganai taisetsu na Kizuna) Shogun, Kaizoku, and Turbo stood in their places as they got into ready stances.
(Unmei no STORY (STORY)) Several more Riders were shown, one of the most noticeable being lion and samurai themed.
(Tsunagareta kono sekai ni) The samurai themed Rider aimed her weapon at the screen before slashing.
(Haruka naru yasashisa wo) The screen was divided by the slash and fell away, revealing a new image of Daigo looking down at his necklace.
(Kagiri nai yume to kibou ni) He looked back up and took a few steps forward, meeting up with Ryo and Robin on a cliff.
(Mou mayou koto wa nai hazu sa zutto) The three looked off the cliff, looking over the landscape before they held up their respective transformation devices.
(Mirai ni TAKE YOU) The three ran towards the cliff and jumped off, falling to the ground below.
(Music) The three fell to the ground as the view suddenly changed to that of Shogun, Kaizoku, and Turbo fighting off enemies all around them, Shogun using his Shogun Saber, Kaizoku using his Kaizoku Shot and Cutlass in conjunction, and Turbo using his Turbo Sword. The final shot was that of Daigo, Ryo, Robin, Chrom, Lissa, and Frederick as they all stood together.
The six now sat around a fire, SamuraiMaru now sitting on the ground next to Daigo as the six ate. Well, most of the six at least.
"Mmm… It's been too long since I had bear meat. Delicious!" Chrom said. "…What's wrong Lissa? Dig in"
"Pass! …Gods, couldn't you spear us an animal normal people eat for once?" Lissa said. "I mean, come on! Who eats bear?!"
Ryo glanced over at Robin, who was ravenously devouring his share of the meat. "…I can think of one person."
"You're meddling with the food chain. I know at least Daigo agrees with me." Lissa crossed her arms.
"Wha-? Oh, I stopped eating because I lost my appetite after seeing… that" Daigo pointed at Robin, who was still eating ravenously, not noticing the attention he was getting.
"I suppose a person would just enjoy anything after not eating for days…" then she noticed Daigo start to eat the bear meat.
"I thought you said you lost your appetite!"
"Appetite or not, I have had a long day, I am not going to sleep on an empty stomach! Meat is meat!"
"Since when does meat smell like old boots?! Wait, I take that back- boots smell better!"
Ryo stared at her. "Please. Never try the school food Daigo and I had to eat when we were teens."
"I'm curious, what do you mean by that?" SamuraiMaru asked Ryo, speaking for the first time in a while.
"You don't want to know." Ryo stared, wide-eyed at the belt.
"Every experience makes us stronger, milady. Even those we don't enjoy" Frederick spoke up.
"Really? Then why don't I see YOU eating, Frederick?" Lissa turned to the knight.
"Me? Oh, well… I'm not hungry. I… I had a large lunch! Yes, quite."
"Yeah right, Frederick!" Lissa said.
"Anyways! Can we please focus on something else besides what's for dinner?!" Ryo snapped.
"…what's wrong with you?" Daigo asked.
"Sorry, it's just… I kind of want to move on. I feel kind of lost and stuff now that we're so far from home and I just want to talk to forget about that." Ryo said.
Daigo sighed. "Look Ryo, after all we've been through back home, I'm not going to lie, I actually want a chance to start over and pretend what happened in the past never happened. I hope you can feel the same way too."
"What happened in the past?" Lissa asked.
Daigo turned to the others. "Oh, right. I forgot we weren't alone. The truth is, Ryo and I have been alone for about a year with only each other as company. You kind of get used to not having anyone else around in that time."
"As of right now, Daigo and I have been best friends since we were kids, and the past year has only strengthened that bond." Ryo said. "But because of that, we're not entirely sure about letting people in just yet."
"We're not going to force you to let us in just yet. But we do hope that one day, you can open up to us entirely." Chrom said.
Daigo sadly grinned. "Actually… we can open up to you guys about some things, but not the entire story, not just yet."
"What do you want to hear first?" Ryo asked.
"Well, start with where you came from" Lissa requested.
Daigo and Ryo looked between each other. They looked back to them, Daigo being the one to speak up.
"The truth is… where we came from… probably will make us sound a bit crazy." Daigo said. "But… Ryo and I are from another world"
This caught the others by surprise, even halting Robin from his meal, even though he already knew this.
"Oh yeah, that's right." he spoke with a mouth full of food. He swallowed his food before he started talking again. "You guys said you were from another world earlier."
"I told you." Daigo said, taking note of Chrom, Lissa, and Frederick's reaction..
"He's right. We didn't believe ourselves at first, but according to SamuraiMaru, it probably is the only option that makes sense." Ryo added.
"I didn't say that"
"It's close enough!" Ryo snapped.
"Anyways!" Daigo stopped a fight from happening. "Ryo and I are from a more advanced world than this, and one without magic as well. And for our personal histories… I think I can tell a little bit about mine, can you?" he asked Ryo.
"Oh, yeah. I can" Ryo confirmed.
"Okay. Well, to begin with, I was born about 3 years before my younger sister, Asuka. The two of us were raised by our parents in the Mirai Temple, which was a Temple owned by my parents. My mother and father were a priestess and a priest respectively, but my father was a martial artist specializing in sword fighting before he became a priest, so he taught me and my sister how to fight. Then I met Ryo when I was eight, and we became inseparable best friends." Daigo explained.
"He's actually leaving out a vital part of that story. We didn't just meet. I was adopted into his family in secret."
"Really? Why?" Chrom asked, intrigued.
"Well… I come from an important political family. My family held several major corporations and had a high place in politics, as I've mentioned. My family was nicknamed the "Tamashii Corporation" because of how dedicated to their work they were. But they still managed to love each other, because that's what families do. However, the peace didn't last forever. I learned about politics from a young age, and about how bloody it can get. My family was murdered. All of them. And it was ordered by the right hand man of my father, who was the head of the family"
"That's horrible!" Lissa said.
"He didn't expect me to get away. At my eighth birthday party, I witnessed my entire family killed in front of me. My father, mother, sister, aunt, uncle. I barely managed to get out alive. My fathers right hand man assumed that, because the entire family was killed, he would be the rightful heir to the family fortune and political power. But he wasn't, because I was the last remaining heir of the Tamashii Family. I was put into hiding and adopted into Daigo's family. I couldn't take control of the company at my age, because of my trauma and youth, so Mrs. Mirai, Daigo's mother took over until I was eighteen. Mr. Mirai trained me to fight alongside Daigo and Asuka. I was raised like a brother to them, with Daigo being the one to help me get over my trauma and fear. I took over the company three years ago, on my eighteenth birthday, but only in a manner that would keep me away from those who sought to kill me to take my place as head of the corporation. Then… one year ago… the Accident happened."
"The… Accident?" Robin said.
"That's all we're going to tell you, thanks for listening" Ryo said, noticing Daigo's discomfort upon hearing Ryo's last spoken sentence.
"So you go through all of that and yet you refuse to explain what "this Accident" is?" Frederick asked.
"Shut up Frederick!" Daigo shouted, losing his cool and surprising everyone. "What happened to him was what he shared. He was willing to share that because that's HIS story, not mine. But the Accident that happened a year ago was something that changed me forever. I trust Ryo to keep this story a secret because it is so important to me and I still haven't accepted what has happened. He hasn't shared it here because it's my story, and something that he knows I'm not ready to share yet. I'm sorry, but I just can't, and I don't think I will for a long time"
Daigo panted, probably the only noise in the campsite besides the crackling fire.
"I'm going to sleep. Goodnight. Thank you for listening to what we had to tell. I'm sorry that I made it all depressing." Daigo said, laying down on the ground.
The entire camp was silent, with the group just glancing at each other in response to what they had heard.
A couple of hours later…
The fire had died down, and most of the group had decided to fall asleep, the only exception being Robin, who was still awake and staring at the night sky.
This day… has been strange so far. First, I wake up in the middle of some field, surrounded by Chrom, who seems like a nice guy; Lissa, who I will admit is childish, but still a good person; and Frederick… can't stand him but he is respectable and admirable, I will admit. Just can't find a reason to like him… Robin thought to himself.
Anyways, next I end up meeting Daigo and Ryo. Daigo seems to be a good fighter, but is a bit of a coward. Then Ryo… is just plain weird. But the weirdest part to me, is that they can transform into… "Kamen Riders", whatever those are. I suppose I should investigate more into what these "Core Gems" are and see what it is that makes them unique. Perhaps Daigo will let me have that Core Gem that SamuraiMaru purified. Actually…
Robin sat up and started emptying out his coat, taking inventory.
In his possession was his Turbo Sword, three white Core Gems, his Base Turbo Orb, and a Thunder Tome.
He picked up the Tome and thumbed through the pages, just skimming through them.
After a while, he closed the Tome and moved to set it down near the Core Gems.
The white Core Gems that Robin had glowed slightly when they came in proximity of the Thunder Tome. Robin pulled his arm back at this, the glow going down. Robin looked between the Gems and the Tome repeatedly before he picked up one of the Gems. He brought the Core Gem in close proximity to the Thunder Tome. The Core Gem glowed a golden-yellow color that grew in brightness, which Robin tried to hide so as not to awaken those who were sleeping.
Turbo Driver!
The Turbo Driver formed around Robin's waist as a small orb of light shot from the center, flying in between the two objects.
The Thunder Tome and the white Core Gem turned into energy that traveled into the orb. When it was finished, the glow in the orb began going down as it landed in Robin's right hand.
"A new… Turbo Orb?" Robin looked over the newly formed Turbo Orb.
"Robin?" another voice groggily spoke up.
Chrom sat up, having been awoken by the Turbo Orb shining the light in his face.
"Sorry, I didn't mean to wake you. Go back to sleep, I was just trying something" Robin pocketed the Turbo Orb.
Chrom was about to, but paused for a moment.
"Robin… do you hear that?" he asked.
"Hm?...No, I can't say that I can" Robin responded.
"Something feels… amiss. I'm going to go check it out" Chrom stood up, stretching.
"Not alone, you aren't! I'm coming along, but just so nothing bad happens" Robin stood up.
"I think I can find my way back to the camp in safety Robin"
"Okay. I didn't say anything about keeping you safe. I just implied I would help you if you got into a dangerous situation." Robin pointed out.
Chrom sighed.
"Fine. Let's go." Chrom said, the two starting to walk through the forest.
The two walked down the path, Chrom looking around for something.
Robin started looking around as well the more they walked.
"Okay, you're not crazy, I can hear it too" Robin admitted.
The two stopped after a while.
"Something is amiss here" Chrom's eyes narrowed.
The ground began shaking, the two struggling to keep their balance.
"Well, this is certainly new! Didn't expect you to be able to detect earthquakes!" Robin commented.
"Gods, what-" Chrom started. "What is going on?! Robin, we have to get back to the camp!"
"No, really?! I thought it would be a good idea to go in the OTHER DIRECTION!" Robin snapped.
In the distance, loud noises could be heard, trees being knocked over as it came closer.
"Chrom…" Robin started.
"I know, run!" Chrom shouted.
The two took off in the opposite direction, the ground they were just standing on cracking and splitting apart seconds afterwards.
A large chunk of land lifted off from the ground, magma spewing out of the cracks. Fireballs fell from the magma towards the ground, a few catching the trees on fire and almost hitting Robin and Chrom.
"Okay, so we're abandoning logic?! Sounds good to me!" Robin remarked.
"Enough with the quips, this is life and death!" Chrom shouted.
"It is how I cope!" Robin responded.
"Come on! This way!" Chrom shouted, leading Robin back towards the camp.
The fireballs kept falling, a few hitting close to Robin and Chrom.
"Chrom! Sorry about this! Turbo Henshin!"
Turbo Orb! Henshin! Turbo Sequence!
Within seconds, a vortex formed around Robin and formed his Base Turbo suit, the Rider immediately pressing down twice on the button on his belt.
Turbo! Dash!
Turbo quickly grabbed hold of Chrom and dashed as fast as he could from the fire.
It once again lasted five seconds before Chrom and Turbo stopped, Turbo letting go of Chrom and once again falling flat on his face.
Chrom turned to the fire, watching it as he panted.
Turbo got up quickly, patting down his suit as he looked up into the sky and paused.
"Chrom! Look!" he pointed.
In the sky, several white balls of energy were converging on a single point before they were engulfed in a flash of light and vanished, leaving the blank sky. Runes formed in the air, a crystal eye-like shape forming in the middle of them.
From the eye, a single humanoid shape formed from it and fell to the ground. Soon after, another figure formed and fell, followed by another, and another, in a repeated cycle.
The humanoid figures stood up and turned to Turbo and Chrom with red eyes. The figures were grotesque and wearing what looked like armor, with their skin having an undead-like appearance and the aforementioned red eyes.
Chrom reached to his sword, Falchion, and pointed it at the figures.
Turbo! Weapon!
Turbo drew his Turbo Sword and readied it.
The humanoid figures growled in an inhumane manner, one of them roaring at the two as he bellowed a black smoke.
"It's almost like a Mutant" Turbo commented.
The figure that bellowed the smoke ran at the two in a fast pace before jumping up and slashing at Chrom with an axe. Chrom sidestepped and slashed with Falchion, cutting across the figure's stomach as he fell. Chrom gasped and moved to block as the figure shrugged off the attack and swung its axe again. Turbo quickly moved to assist him, kicking the figure off before he stabbed it in the stomach and withdrew his sword.
Chrom jumped up and drove his blade into the figure's head, burying it there.
The figure stiffened but relaxed as he disintegrated into black and purple smoke.
Turbo spun around just in time to get slammed across the chest with an axe and get sent backwards. He quickly raised his sword up to block an attack but failed as he didn't raise his sword fast enough, the axe striking across his stomach as he was sent flying backwards.
Turbo got back up and readied his weapon as the figure that attacked him roared and prepared to charge.
Unnoticed by the two, in the portal, another figure could be seen running, this one looking like a normal human, but with a mask covering their eyes. The figure outstretched their arm as they reached the portal, breaking through as they drew their weapon and landed safely on the ground before charging.
Turbo prepared to strike as the figure before him started to charge, only to stop as a sword suddenly pierced the figures body, causing it to disintegrate into smoke.
Turbo stared at the area until the smoke fully dissipated. He lowered his sword slowly s he looked at the figure who saved him.
"Uh… thanks… mysterious stranger… you wouldn't happen to have a Core Gem on you would you?" he said, but was promptly ignored.
"Quite an entrance…" Chrom said as he noticed the figure. "What's your name?"
The figure turned to Chrom, but didn't respond.
Footsteps were heard as Daigo (with SamuraiMaru in hand), Ryo, Frederick, and Lissa emerged from the trees.
"Milord! Are you hurt?" Frederick asked Chrom.
"There you guys are!" Turbo said, shouldering his Turbo Sword.
Daigo and Ryo looked behind the two, noticing the undead-like figures.
"Hey, um, completely random question, are these things normal around here?" Ryo pointed to one of the figures.
"They're not from Ylisse, I promise you that" Chrom said.
"What a truly strange world, that such undead creatures like these can exist" SamuraiMaru spoke up.
"SamuraiMaru, if we ever go back home, do me a favor and never watch The Walking Dead" Daigo whispered into his Shogun Brace.
"Thank the Gods you are not injured Milord" Frederick told Chrom.
"Worry about that later Frederick. Robin, got a plan?"
"Why are you asking me?! I'm the new guy!" Turbo pointed out.
"It's the only option we've got, and given what you told me about what you can "see" on the battlefield, I'll need your help sooner rather than later"
"Fair point." Turbo nodded. "Alright, I think Lissa would best be safe with Frederick. Frederick, if one of us is injured, get Lissa there as fast as you can to heal them. Daigo and Ryo, transform and get into defensive and try to see if you can't put out the forest fire. Chrom, for now, until we know more about these things, I think it would be best for you to get into a defensive position as well. We need to move through this forest as carefully as we can and take care of these things as a group. As for the mysterious stranger- I'm going to ask where you went"
As Turbo turned to the mysterious stranger, he noticed that the stranger was gone.
"Worry about it later, AFTER we put these… things… to the blade."
Turbo just sighed and nodded before he got ready, noticing there were more undead figures approaching.
Daigo raised SamuraiMaru up before he swung him around so that the belt snapped around his waist. He took out his Shogun Fire Core and slid it into his Shogun Brace.
Ryo pulled out his Kaizoku Shot and Sea Pirate Bullet.
"Shogun Henshin, Sanjou!"
"Kaizoku Henshin, Sanjou!"
Shogun Fire Sequence!
Sea Pirate Sequence!
Shogun drew his Shogun Saber as Kaizoku switched his Kaizoku Shot to his left hand and drew his Cutlass with his right.
Just as the Riders got ready, Turbo got ready.
"Hmm? Are those…"
"Abandoned forts, yes." Frederick confirmed.
"Okay, new add-on to plan, whenever possible, especially if you're separated from us and injured or we you need some kind of tactical advantage, take shelter in those forts." Turbo suggested. "Now let's get out there"
And with that, the teams dispersed.
Shogun and Kaizoku ran through the forest, cutting at any of the monsters that came near.
"What exactly are these things?" Kaizoku said, putting a bullet in the head of one that came near.
"They seem surprisingly similar to the Mutaints we faced earlier." Shogun commented.
Kaizoku slashed across the chest of one that came near before twirling his Cutlass around his finger and stabbing a monster in the chest.
"We need to focus on putting out this fire." Shogun said.
"How exactly do you propose we do that?" Kaizoku looked at his partner for a brief second before decapitating a monster.
"Uh… what about your Final Sequence attack?" Shogun stabbed a monster in the chest and withdrew his blade.
"That may work, but this fire is spreading too far to handle with that. What about your Shogun Air Sequence?"
"I don't know if I can control the wind with that, I haven't had much experience with it." Shogun pointed out.
"That form is not safe in this situation, would it not it spread the fire further?" SamuraiMaru pointed out.
"I don't know, it's your guys's form!"
Shogun cut down another monster and got into a ready stance before he paused. "Wait… form! That's it!" he sheathed his Shogun Saber and pulled out a blue Shogun Core from the holder.
"SamuraiMaru, is this blue one what I think it is?"
"Yes, that is the Shogun Aqua Core."
"Okay, I'll try it!" Shogun replaced the Shogun Fire Core with the blue core and drew his sword before activating the Core by pressing the button and spinning the disc.
Shogun Aqua Sequence!
The armor on his chest disintegrated as a ball of blue water shot from the Shogun Phone and circled around Shogun, creating a blue whirlpool. The blue water merged with Shogun, adding armor onto his chest
His blood red armor was now a navy blue color, with two blades on his chest forming a V shape, the blades being a durable metal material. He had almost the exact same armor as Shogun Fire hanging from his shoulders, but they didn't have the same sturdy design, being slightly thinner at the top but bulkier at the bottom. His helmet had a smoother design than before, with a pair of navy blue bug-like "eyes" above a cyan mouthplate. His belt strap had changed so it was colored navy blue with a wave design on it. (I forgot to mention, but the helmet and undersuit change colors depending on the Core used, so it's red for Shogun Fire, green for Shogun Air, and blue for Shogun Aqua.)
Shogun drew his Shogun Saber and twirled it around as blue energy covered it. The energy turned to water and Shogun spun in a circle as he slashed with the Saber, the water shooting off and either hitting the monsters around them or putting out some of the flames. Kaizoku had the clever idea to duck as the water passed over his head.
When Shogun finished, Kaizoku stood back up.
"Good job buddy! Now, let's get going!" he said.
Shogun nodded and rested his sword on his shoulder before the two ran off.
Turbo slashed at a monster as it came near him, striking it across the chest before he kicked it away.
He spun around and stabbed at another one when it punched at him, knocking him back. His sword was left hanging from the monster, which roared as it glared at him.
Turbo flicked his wrist and got into a ready stance as he pressed down on his belt twice again.
Turbo! Dash!
Turbo dashed towards the monster at super speed, knocking it over unintentionally. He fell over as well, his hand still on his belt as the other reached for the Turbo Sword.
Turbo! Weapon!
The weapon glowed a bright white color as Turbo sprang up and yanked it from the monster. The monster convulsed as white energy covered it. The energy covered it and caused it to completely disintegrate.
"Huh. So that's what happens if you press the button one time with the weapon in hand" Turbo commented.
Turbo spun in place and got his sword ready when a female figure on a horse appeared nearby.
"Captain Chrom! Wait! I'm coming!"
Turbo jumped up at this and turned to her.
"Where did you come from?!" Turbo looked her up and down.
"…Agh, I knew I shouldn'ta left 'em" she sighed, ignoring Turbo for all of three seconds. She eventually turned to Turbo and noticed the Kamen Rider.
"What are you supposed to be? That's some weird armor you got on" The woman commented.
"…Chrom, who is she?" Turbo turned to his ally, who was a fair distance away and fighting a monster. He took a brief second to slash at an approaching monster, however.
"Alright you ash-faced freaks, I got a little something for you. Who's first to get my lance shoved right up your-"
"Hold milady!" another figure appeared and interrupted her.
"What the-?! Where are you people coming from? First that weird guy with the mask then you two?" Turbo said.
"Muh?" the woman turned to the new guy.
"Life may be long, but attraction is fleeting! Would you leave me in your sweet dust?" the man said. "Leave war to the warriors, dear bird! A beauty such as you need wage only love."
"…I'm sorry, what?" Turbo was the only one to respond.
"Ha! Even the mysterious armored figure is amazed" the man said.
"It's not amazement. I am horribly confused by your mere presence" Turbo explained. He was ignored.
"I am myth and legend! I am he who strides large across history's greatest stage. The man who puts the "arch" in "archer"! My name, dear lady and sir, is Vi-"
"Change of plans! Frederick, you go with Drama Queen here-" Turbo interrupted the man.
"Drama Queen?!"
"You act the part, you get the name. Go with him and see how many of those things you can hit on horseback"
"Very well. The great Virion shall-"
"Not giving me a reason to stop calling you Drama Queen" Turbo shouldered his Turbo Sword and turned in place.
"You" he pointed to the woman. "You can fight right?"
"Can I fight? Do you know who you're talking to?" she smirked.
"No I don't. That's why I'm asking. But since you're confident, that's good enough, you're with me… who and what are you exactly?" Turbo lowered his Sword and turned around.
"Names Sully. And I'm a Shepherd." Sully said.
"Alright Sully, let's go!" Turbo pointed his blade forward and the two charged.
Turbo slashed at a monster as it came near while Sully jumped forward and stabbed at the same on her house.
Turbo spun around and planted his foot on the stomach of one of the monster surrounding him and pushed it back before decapitating it.
The monsters wouldn't stop appearing, coming from seemingly nowhere.
"What is happening?!" Turbo shouted, now back to back with Sully.
"These things keep coming!" Sully said.
Turbo paused for a moment when he thought of something.
"No choice! Let's see what this Turbo Orb can do!" Turbo said, pulling out the gold Turbo Orb. Turbo opened the slot on his belt, pulling out the Base Turbo Orb before he closed the slot. The silver armor he had on vanished, leaving behind his base suit. Turbo slid the gold Turbo Orb into the slot before pulling the switch and then pushing the button.
Turbo Orb! Henshin! Thunder Sequence!
From his belt, a vortex of lightning and thunder formed before it circled around Turbo and then slammed onto him, creating a golden armor.
He had a slim gold chestplate with a scaled dragon design that was also opened up much alike his Base Form. Golden scaled armor also decorated his elbows and knees. The trenchcoat design reached down to his ankles, not having changed length. The armor was reminiscent of lightning.
"Alright!" Turbo brandished his Turbo Sword.
"That's some armor" Sully commented.
Turbo cracked his neck as he pressed down on his belt once.
Thunder! Weapon!
Turbo held up his weapon, lightning arching over it. However, he suddenly was surprised when it started splitting down the middle in his grip, forcing his hand open as it unfolded into a dual blade mode. Turbo grabbed the weapon, which was now called the Turbo Edge.
Turbo did a few test swings with his new Turbo Edge before he nodded and turned to a monster nearby before slashing at it. "Now, it's time t- huh?" he noticed a small yellow light in the center of the handle. Being the logical mind that he is, he grabbed hold of it and tried to pull it away. The light grew longer as he pulled it away, forming an arrow from the Turbo Edge.
"…huh" Turbo released the arrow, the electric arrow hitting a nearby monster.
"…I understand" he lowered his hand to his belt. "Sully, you might want to dodge, sorry"
He pulled the lever and pressed the button once again.
Shocking! Thunder! Final Sequence!
Turbo allowed the Turbo Edge to become covered with electricity as he aimed it into the air. He formed an arrow and released it, the arrow flying into the air and suddenly splitting into several different arrows that flew to the monsters and hit them, killing them instantly.
Turbo lowered his eyes.
"Alright, now that that's over…" he reached to his belt.
He stopped when an unfamiliar voice spoke up. "Where is he…?"
Sully and Turbo turned to the source at once.
There was a female figure walking up to them. This one was wearing a silver undersuit under black armor. The armor that she wore was based off of a lion and samurai-like, almost reminiscent of Shogun's Shogun Fire armor. The persons helmet was a thin shape reminiscent of Shogun's, but with a silver visor and mouthpiece over the front, and a black coloration. There was a sheath attached to her back that held a katana. Her chest armor was slender and chrome black while having the design of a lion. Other chrome black armor rested on her shoulders, knees, elbows, shins, and biceps.
"Another Kamen Rider?" Turbo pointed in confusion.
"I am Kamen Rider… Ronin. Where is Daigo Mirai?" Ronin asked.
"Why do you want to know? What business do you have with him?" Turbo got into a ready stance.
"Very well. If I have to fight it out of you… so be it" Ronin grabbed the handle hanging from the sheath on her back and pulled out a black katana.
Turbo prepared to charge when Ronin suddenly appeared in front of him and slashed with her katana, catching him across the chest.
Turbo fell backwards, but Ronin continued with her attack, mercilessly attacking with her katana and striking at Turbo with many blows to his chest.
Turbo fell back against a tree before he got up and aimed his Turbo Edge towards Ronin before forming an electric arrow.
Ronin dashed towards Turbo when he released his grip, the arrow flying towards her.
Ronin cut through the arrow with ease and buried her katana in Turbo's shoulder before dragging downwards to the left harshly, causing Turbo to fall over.
Ronin raised her sword up to strike, but quickly spun around to dodge an attack from Sully, who had gotten off her horse to attack.
"I may not know what's going on, or even know this armored guy, but I'm not letting you kill him!" Sully declared.
"Don't interfere." Ronin kicked Sully in the gut and punched her away.
She turned back to Turbo, who was starting to stand back up.
He pulled the lever on his belt and pushed the button down again.
Shocking! Thunder! Final Sequence!
He readied his Turbo Edge as electricity started to arch over him.
Ronin sighed as she spun her blade around so she was holding it in a reverse grip. She slammed her hand onto the bottom of the handle, causing black energy to cover her.
Ending! Ronin! Final Sequence!
"Mirai Ken… (Future Sword)" she spun her katana back around to regular grip as Turbo charged.
Turbo slashed at Ronin, who merely blocked with her katana, causing the electricity to surge into her sword and over her.
"Rakurai Surasshu! (Lightning Strike Slash!)" Ronin broke the stalemate and struck Turbo with her electrified katana, knocking him backwards.
The electricity coursed over Turbo, shocking him and causing him massive damage.
Turbo collapsed to his knees as his suit vanished, the man falling unconscious.
"Tsk." Ronin sighed as she sheathed her katana.
"One day, Daigo… I'll kill you like you killed her…"
Splashing! Shogun Aqua! Final Sequence!
Cutting! Sea Pirate! Final Sequence!
"Ice Slash!" Kaizoku slashed with his Kaizoku Cutlass at a monster, the Cutlass glowing blue as the attack struck the monster.
"Wave Stream!" Shogun twirled his sword around as water covered it before he slashed, the energy striking a few fires and monsters.
The two relaxed as the monsters exploded as the fires were put out.
Shogun and Kaizoku turned and walked back to Chrom, who by this time had finished fighting the monsters along with the others. The mysterious masked figure was there as well.
"It seems all the creatures are vanquished. This young man took care of the others." Frederick said.
The masked figure remained silent.
"Thank you for the help" Shogun thanked the figure, who barely spared him a glance.
"My name is Chrom, might I ask yours?" Chrom spoke up.
The figure looked to him. "You may call me Marth"
"Marth? After the heroic king of old? You certainly fight like a hero. Where did you learn your way with a sword?"
"I'm not here to talk about me" Marth said. "This world teeters at the brink of a horrible calamity. What you saw tonight was but a prelude. You have been warned." And with that, Marth turned and walked away.
"Huh? What's teetering where now? Hey, wait!" Lissa called after him.
"Not much for conversation, is he?" Kaizoku tilted his head.
"It appears his skills lie elsewhere. I wager we'll hear his name again…" Frederick said. "But for now I'm more concerned about the capital. We should make haste."
Before anyone else could respond, a female voice spoke up. "Yeah well can someone please tell me what's happening?"
Everyone turned to the source of the voice, quickly spotting Sully, who was riding up to them on her house with Robin draped across the back.
"Also, this guy needs some medical attention."
Core Gems: I forgot to add this bit in earlier, but anyways, the Core Gems are items of immense, untold power. But no one knows where they came from. They mysteriously bond to the first person who touches them, granting them the ability to transform into powerful forms, but if they have devices to filter the Core Gems power, they can transform into Kamen Riders. Some Core Gems can change into devices that may look as if they are different than before, but they are indeed the same Core Gems that they were when they were first found. The Core Gems are a reference to the Energems in Power Rangers Dino Charge and Dino Super Charge.
