"Get out of my way," said the Veiled Sekirei as her veils whipped and snapped about her. "I don't want to hurt you."

"Well, sorry, but no way am I about to let you to hurt my Sekirei," said Yuuto as he stood between this Sekirei and his own. "She doesn't want to fight."

The Veiled Sekirei frowned before one of her veils shot forward. "Look out!" Yuuto shouted as he pushed Kuno and himself down and the veil flew over them. "Deneb!" Green energy shot out from Yuuto and reformed into Deneb, his Imagin partner. The Veiled Sekirei cocked her head to the side in confusion. These strange creatures seemed to have popped up more recently.

"Get Kuno out of here," Yuuto said and Deneb nodded.

"Kuno, let's go," said Deneb as he helped Kuno up to her feet.

"But, Yuuto-sama-!" she began to protest but then felt Yuuto grasp her hand gently.

"I'll be fine," said Yuuto as he stood up to face his opponent. The Veiled Sekirei tried to attack Deneb but then Deneb shot at her veil with his fingers and her veil was torn to shreds by the bullets. Yuuto whipped out his Zeronos Belt and fastened it on before going down to the case which held his cards. "Let me tell you this from the start, Sekirei-san. I am VERY strong!" He called, "Henshin!" He slipped the card into his belt buckle.

"Altair Form!"

Green shards engulfed Yuuto and transformed him into his Rider form. The first to form was the black bodysuit with green shoulders and black gauntlets and boots with gold rings around the wrists and ankles. The helmet was black with a pair of vertical tracks running down over his eyes. The torso armor formed next and attached to his body. It was mainly green with a gold 'Y' shaped track on his chest. Mooing was heard as a pair of bull heads slid down along the tracks on his helmet before configuring into a pair of green eyes and three silver horns trimmed in green. He snapped his fingers and lightning struck down behind him.

Yuuto had transformed into Kamen Rider Zeronos.

The Veiled Sekirei showed no reaction but she was surprised by this current development. She never knew that No. 95's Ashikabi could transform like that.

Zeronos reached to his belt where the two components of his ZeroGasher were kept and took the triangular handle that he attached to the blade component. The blade tripled in size and he hefted it on his shoulder. He pointed at the Veiled Sekirei and said, "And let me tell you something else; those who hurt my Kuno will answer to me!"

"Yuuto-sama…" Kuno blushed as Yuuto referred to her as being his.

"Hyah!!!" Zeronos charged and swung his sword at the Sekirei who dodged to the side and attacked with her veils but he smacked them away with his sword and jumped at her, kicking her in the chest. He didn't want to really hurt her. All he wanted was to drive her off so that she would leave Kuno alone.
