Hello to all readers! RFD's return with a new chapter! I'm very glad the Symphonic World is off to a good start which helps me had more confidence. So today, I will upload the official Episode 1 chapter. This will be an official opening mark for the main storyline with a little twist. As for the schedule, I will upload every new chapters at Sundays, or later because of my imagination's lacking ideas. Oh, and also, this story is rated M because of curse words, possibly including some rewritten battle scenes, many references from other shows and *AHEM!* mature ones. As usual, I hope you guys enjoy the story and NO HATE, NO FLAMES, PLZ!

I'll let my other friend taking over for the disclaimer while taking my time for new ideas. I'll leave it to you, Aibou.

第一話: アイドルとの運命の出会い! 内面の力を解き放て!


Ryouga (narrator): Koremade no Kamen Rider Zero-One: Symphonic World…

(Last time, on Kamen Rider Zero-One: Symphonic World…)

Ryouga: "The cyclone turns into a… portal? Just what is going on here? WAAAAAAAAAAAAGH!"

[ZERO-ONE DRIVER!]

"WOAH! What the…!"

[AUTHORIZE!]

Shouting* "HENSHIN!"

[RISING HOPPER!] A jump to the sky turns to a Rider Kick.

SHIINK! KLANG! SHIINK! SKKZZZZ!

Genjuro: "Masaka! Could the Noises have provided themselves with a new enemy!?"

Berotha Magia: "EXTERMINATE… ALL… HUMANS!"

Zero-One: "The one who will crush your twisted ambitions into dusts… IS ME!"

"TEEERYAAAAAA!"

[RISING IMPACT!] ライジングインパクト!

Berotha Magia: *explodes* "GYAAAAAAA!"

"O-ONORE… ZERO-ONE!"

The young girl's mother: Can you at least tell us your name?

Zero-One: *smiles* "Zero-One. Kamen Rider Zero-One da."


(Midnight Time, 12:37 AM, Near the Bridge)

In the peaceful night, there are some buildings still have the lights up, including a spinning Ferris wheel with multicolors, the radiant moonlight enlightening the beautiful scenic. It was the perfect time for sweet dreams and long slumbers, or what's supposed to be…

"KYAAAAAA!"

A scream filled with horror of a woman was heard faraway near the bridge, but no one was there to help. Obviously, the people are still afraid of the Noise attack, wanting nothing to get involve in whatever the cause was. The said woman was starting to ran out of breath, and collapsed on the road while looking behind with fear at the attacker, trying to crawl away from the thing walking towards her like a wild animal that found its prey.

Surprisingly, it was the green mantis-like robot Berotha Magia, but there were noticeable differences from the appearance. Instead of the forest green armor, it was rust brown-colored with few extra metal bronze wires wrapping around its upper body and the elbow joints. Both sickle-like short blades were on the sides of both arms, almost resemble the fins. Finally, the antennae on its head was a bit shorter than the original, along with oval-shaped pale yellow diamond eyes.

"N-No… Get away from me…!" The woman said, trembling with fear.

"FRESH… MEAT. NO WAY OUT FOR YOU… HUMAN." The Berotha look-alike snorted, growling at the delicious helpless-looking woman, ready to swallow her.

"NO! GO AWAY! GO AWAY!" The woman still screaming, refused to get eaten by this hideous robot, throwing objects at the robot whatever she could buy time to escape.

The rusted Berotha then swatted throwing objects away like garbage, sneered at her with hunger: "TOO BAD FOR YOU! NO ONE CAN HELP YOU NOW!" It then opened its jaws, letting out an insane roar and jumped, ready to pounce on her and bite the woman. She shrieked in fear, too afraid to move. But luckily for her…

A stranger appeared from the shadows with a high jump, slashed the psycho robot with a straight slash in mid-air, making it roars in sheer pain from the surprise attack and get thrown back to piles of cement bags with water drums. The stranger then landed in front of the scared woman, revealing to be Zero-One, with the neon-yellow armor shining in the night along with his red eyes.

(Inserting Kamen Rider Build OST: Saa, Jikken wo Hajimeyou ka? "Now, Shall we begin the Experiment?" )

Zero-One turned his head back at her, then said: "Ike." The woman nodded immediately, grabbing her purse and then ran away as far as possible, wanting to forget everything she just saw. He then turns his attention back to the thrown away Magia, who has just getting up, kicking the drums away angrily and looked at the one who ruined its meal. The Magia then jerked its head back in shock, backed a little in fear.

"KI-KISAMA… BAKANA! ZERO-ONE!?" The rusted Berotha stuttered, seeing Zero-One face-to-face. It then shouted at him with an angry roar: "YOU RUINED MY MEAL! THAT WOMAN WAS SUPPOSED TO BE MINE!" The angry robot charged at the armored hero with blind rage, raised its right sickle-like fin arms at his neck, but he raised his left arm blocking the attack, causing small sparks. Zero-One scoffed at the Magia with a threatening tone:

"Does a psycho robot like you even needs a living meal? GET REAL, JACKASS!" He then moved his left arm away from the sickle-like fin, and slashed at the robot with a triple slash, creating massive sparks and smokes coming from it and kicked the smoked Magia across the chest. It rolled away a bit from the sword attack, crying out in pain, trying to get up. Zero-One took out a pink-colored Progrise Key from the right Holder, which has an image of a falcon with its ability. He then activated it with a press:

[WING!]

After the announcement, he then inserted the Key into the Attache Calibur's slot, activating the special attack.

[Progrise Key confirmed, ready to utilize. Falcon's Ability!]

The rusted Berotha gets alerted when hearing the confirmation sound, swinging out its arms, launched both sickle fin blades at Zero-One, hoping to get a scratch on his armor. But Zero-One had seen the coming saw blades, and counters it with two swipes, reflects both saw blades to the river, making the blades exploded in the water, causing small explosions to erupt from the water surface. He then jumped in front of the shocked Magia with yellow cybernetic streaks, along with pink feathers with a fierce cry, doing a X-crossed slash with pink streaks, then turned behind.

"HEEAAAAAAGH!"

SKZZZ, KA-BOOM!

フライングカバンストラッシュ

[FLYING KABAN STRASH!]

The Magia screamed in pain while letting out curses at its unluckiness, and hate at Zero-One. "KIIIYAAAAAAGH! CHI… CHIKUSHOOOO (Damn it)!" It then exploded in pieces, shadowing him with his glowing red eyes for dramatic effects. The black datakey falling to the ground with smokes coming out from it. He turned back, walking to where the Key had fell, picked it up and examined it. It has black color for the body, has a dull brown background image depicting a mantis, along with its signature Zetsumetsu symbol for the Magia

PROTO-BEROTHA

TYPE: ZETSUMETSU

"A prototyped Zetsumerise Key…? This is the first time I've ever seen a prototype." Zero-One questioned, looking at the Key with confusion, seeing the new Zetsumerise Key for the first time. He was sure there wasn't any videos or catalogs that has information about prototype Keys, let alone produces. He then shrugged his shoulders, said: "Oh well, I guess I can examine it later." The armored hero gave one last look at where the Magia had exploded with small flames coming out from it, said to himself:

"Mission Complete for now. Time for me to get some sleep too. Can't let myself be late for the job." He took out the Hiden RisePhone from the Rider Space, scanned it to the Driver and threw it in the air, letting the phone do its transformation sequence.

[MOTOR RISE! Vroom~ RISE HOPPER!]

Zero-One then hop on the bike, then drove back to where his temporary house is standing with a zoom. The screen then changed to a yellow digital background with many numbers floating around the background, and the title appeared on the screen.

Kamen Rider Zero-One: Symphonic World

仮面ライダーゼロワン: シンフォニックワールド

(End BGM)


(Eyecatch 1)

The scene showing Zero-One riding on his Rise Hopper, zooming across many steel piles left and right with amazing skills, and turning to the right direction, ending the eyecatch.


(Meanwhile, inside a private jet)

"Hah~ Finally! After a torture, boring, long-ass tour, we're finally back in Japan!" A young woman in her mid-teens 17-year-old with slightly messy red hair and red eyes, wearing casual clothes exclaimed, glad for the arrival to Japan after a long ride on the plane. This was Amou Kanade, one of the singers of a popular two-people idol group called Zwei Wing. She then turned back to her female friend next to her, asked: "What do you think, Tsubasa?"

The person next to Kanade was a long blue-haired and eyed girl, shaped as a musical note, the same age as her, giving a small smile, answered: "Well… yeah. It is good to be back home, Kanade." This was Kazanari Tsubasa, the other singer of Zwei Wing and Genjuro's niece.

The ecstatic red-haired then gestured for Tsubasa to look at the window, pointed at the airport: "Look! We can see Japan closer now!"

Tsubasa nodded, agreed: "Mmm! It's good to be back, isn't it?"

Kanade nods, pick up the TV remote: "Let's go back to the seat and check out some news, to see anything has changed while we're gone."

The blue-haired agrees with her: "Sounds good." With that, Kanade turns on the TV to watch the news.

TV: "Now onto the upcoming Noises attack today…"

Just hearing the 'Noise' name makes Kanade's skin itchy, crawled with vengeance, alongside the feral growl expression. Her family was killed with no mercy in a warzone-like attack from those aliens, and killing thousands of people that got involved in. She couldn't really wait to give those Noises real pain again.

TV: "Like usual, Noise have been wrecking all over the city, causing havoc wherever they go, leaving no one escape. Just then things have gone worse, a mysterious man in armor appears out of thin air and has destroyed a Noise army in a flash!

The screen then showing Zero-One took out the army with his punches and kicks in just a short time and the fierce clash with Berotha Magia in a weapon brawl, then changes to Zero-One doing his Rider Kick, destroying it, making both girls widen their mouths agape in utter surprise at this armored hero, who can easily decimate those aliens with no harms.

TV: "No one even knows the identity of this mysterious armored man and his whereabouts as the governments doesn't have any connections to him, and how he can kill the aliens' army without them harming him. But at least the people now has a new hope to look up to. Truly a dramatic advent of a new Hero! Now, onto the next topic for today- *beep*

Kanade has already turned off the TV with a speechless expression, along with Tsubasa. After a minutes, Kanade broke the silence: "Well that was… shocking to say.".

Tsubasa gave her a slow nod: "Right… Do you think the Commander knew about this as well?"

Kanade shakes her head with a frown: "No, but what I do know is that our home has changed a lot since our departure.".

A little note from RFD: Excuse me for few seconds, I'm really apologize to all of you since I don't know how to write the Opening Theme, which is a problem for me. I promise to do it in Episode 2, despite I'm a sucker at it *gave a deep bow along with his sidekick* Please continue reading the story.


(Meanwhile, at a random forest with no people nearby)

The sun has risen, showing the sky with its orange and blue color mixing with each other. And we can see a big pale beige-colored tent about the size of a small mansion from the outside, with a small campfire cracking. Inside the big tent, we can see it has a large folding mattress on top of a metal stand, a comfy air chair, a folding mobile squared table between the air chair and the mattress. In front of the bed was a sleek medium-sized closet with a 45-inch LG TV on top of it. At the right corner of the mattress, there is a small desk with a HP Pavillion X360-1080p Laptop with some gadgets.

Alarm clock noise: "Let's Rise! Le-Le-Let's RISE!" x2

'PS: Metal Cluster Hopper's Standby XDDD'

Beep*

Ryouga groggily stopped the alarm with a click, then get up with small grumbles, rolling his neck and shoulders, stretching all of his limbs and opened his slightly tired eyes, checking the time on his Red Iphone X. It reads 6 AM. He then said to himself with a slight tired tone: "6 AM in the morning, huh? Time to get up." It was his daily routine, and he doesn't complain about it. He already accustomed to it thanks to watching camping videos on Youtube.

He slide-opened the zipper of the tent, went outside, holding a toothbrush on his right, a small cup filled with raw water and a big empty bag with the left hand. He then brushed his teeth for 3 minutes, spitting the water mixed with bubbles in the bag and wrapped it, threw it at a nearby trashcan. He went to a blue bath tent at the left corner, showered for 5 minutes and put on his clothes, which consist of a pale light blue hoodie with a simple grey shirt underneath, a dark green khaki jacket with black jeans that has a red jacket wrapped on his waist, alongside his signature red-white shoes. He folded the bath tent and put it in the bag, closed it. Ryouga then went back to his comfy tent, folding the mobile table, mattress and the desk. He then used his RisePhone, choosing the Requip Storage app to scan all of his furnitures, materialized it into data particles, absorbing all into the RisePhone, leaving only clean grassland.

Ryouga let out an amazed whistle, still admiring the RisePhone for a moment, then said with a wide grin: "Even though it's already three months later, I can't really stop surprising at this gizmo. I mean, who couldn't impress at this little compact thing?" He recently found out the functions of the RisePhone after his first battle with Berotha Magia, and he was utterly surprised for 30 minutes with a surprise Pikachu's face. It was fucking amazing! It could be explained from his 'bizarre experience inside the warp tunnel' moment. Shaking his head back to the matter, he put back the laptop in his bag along with some gadgets, put all of his luggages along with the Keys inside the Requip Storage, then putting out the tent and store it in the empty bag, then put into the Storage later. Finally, he presses the Bike app on the screen, threw it in the air to let it change into Rise Hopper. Ryouga sat on his bike, and took off for the job.

Ryouga's narration: My name is Fujiki Ryouga, currently 17 years old. It has been three months since my unexpected arrival in this world. While there are many things that I still don't understand fully about it, especially why was I the one chosen, my fictional collections suddenly turned real, and my role in this world; I decided to learn more about the history of the Noises' invasion in this AU Earth. After the first fight with Berotha Magia, I have reached some conclusions. First, me being able to transform into Kamen Rider is the proof that the Magia army and the ARK is real, and they will appear at anywhere, anytime, trying to exterminate me as a nuisance obstacle. Second, the Noise attack I heard from the news makes me realize that I have arrived in World of Symphogear. Third, since the news have recorded the footage about Magia attacks with the Noise army, possibly the Section 2 will be taking action now and the Zwei Wing's concert will be held today; which means the surprise attacks will start at the time when Kanade declares the next song. With that planned, I started my own training schedule with no rest till exhaustion, because I have to do many simulations by using all of my Progrise Keys to their maximum potential as possible in order to take countermeasures of Magia's abilities and to fight on par in their fighting field. Of course, for me to say, it was hellish torture similar to a warzone! But I must endure the pain, and keep improving myself, as Ryuki-san would say: Tatakawana kereba ikinokorenai (Those who don't fight won't survive). I would like to say more, but sadly we're out of time. Time for me to go to work.


(Flower Okonomiyaki Restaurant)

After a 15-minute long ride, Ryouga had finally came to the familiar okonomiyaki restaurant. He glad that the owner here was a generous lady who was kind enough to give him the job as a part-time cooker and a waiter when he showed her his talent at cooking, which he still humble about it, helped him earn enough money to live. He then got off the bike, pushing the Cancel button to shrank it back to its RisePhone Mode before entering.

Hearing the door open, he greeted the lady owner who was wiping the table with polite: "Ohaiyo gozaimasu (Good morning), Owner."

"Ah, Ryouga-kun, Still good as a morning person, huh?" The lady said, smiling. "Hurry up and change your clothes. Knowing the two kids that come to my restaurant, they'll be here at any second.". Ryouga replied back to her with a "Yes, Ma'am.", then going back to the clothing room, changing his clothes with a waiter uniform with a green apron strapped around his waist. Once he fixed his clothes done, he went out and saw many kids here, wearing the Lydian Private Music Academy uniform, if he recalls correctly.

Not far from the restaurant was the said school and as the name implied, the academy here promotes music. People and students who are very passionate or seeking a career that has music would usually register to the academy for it's produced some very talented ones for example, the rumored Pop-Idol group named Zwei Wing. He actually seen many holographic billboards of them when he was patrolling the Magia attack in secret and buy few CDs of their songs. He had some bitter thoughts about them, especially Kazanari Tsubasa, the oh-so-immature crybaby after Kanade's suicidal kamikaze attack. He watched the Anime before, and he was damn pissed at that cold-hearted brat after what she had done with the new Gungnir! Ryouga decided in his thought that he will gave her an unforgettable torture later in the future.

And yes, because he is an Otaku, that's what. Doesn't really take a smart ass to figure it out. Also, ONORE DIOOOOO!

While taking orders from the Lydian students, he looked at the opening door to see two familiar faces. The first girl was a short cream-haired girl, about 15 years old younger than him with two red clips on both sides of her hair with dark orange eyes. The second girl was the same age as the first with short dirty green hair and aquamarine eyes. He knew these two were Tachibana Hibiki and Kohinata Miku, and those girls were always coming to the restaurant and he got to know them during his part-time job.

Ryouga greeted the two with a slight playful tone: "Irasshaimase (Welcome) ~! And you two are always fast as little kittens."

The two girls laughed a bit and Hibiki retorts: "Hey! We already knew each other for long time, Fujiki-kun! And I demand a new greeting!"

He rolled his eyes, smirked and said while gesturing the two to a nearby empty table: "Well, it's my kind of greeting, so get along with it, will you?" Ryouga then takes out the note and a pen from his pocket. "So, the usual?"

"Yes, please!" Hibiki said with enthusiasm, sounding very excited for some reason, even though he already knew about it.

Ryouga let out a short chuckle, asked: "You sound excited today. I heard the news. So the Zwei Wing's concert is being held today, huh?".

Hibiki nodded with excitement. "You bet it is! Today, me and Miku got the chance to watch our very first Zwei Wing concert!" Ryouga raised an eyebrow with a "Oh?".

Miku nodded, and said with a small teasing smile: "Mm, it kinda surprised me, but I was able to win some free tickets from a contest that Hibiki dragged me to."

The cream-haired girl doesn't really like the tease from Miku, whined: "Oh come on! Can you at least try to say that without making me a bad person?"

Miku giggled at her best friend, apologized: "Gomen, gomen.". Hibiki then crossed her arms across the chest with a pout: "Meanies."

That makes both the raven-haired teen and the green-haired girl snickered a bit, before he shook his head in amusement and went to the owner to give her the orders. A few minutes later, she had the order ready and he grabbed it, placing the orders on a platter and deliver them to other students. Going around for a bit, he finally made it back to Hibiki and Miku, giving them the orders. "Here's your order.".

"Thanks!" Hibiki said before clapping her hands and said: "Itadakimasu!". She then started mowing down the okonomiyaki, making Ryouga and Miku sweatdrops, shake their heads and sighed at her lack of manners because of her excitement.

Ryouga advised her: "Oi oi, slow down. You're gonna choke it you eat that fast.". And true to his words, Hibiki started to choke as Miku gave her a glass of water; the cream-haired girl drowned all of it while gasping for air, making him sigh: "And look what I tell you…"

Hibiki scratched her head in embarrassment, sticking out her tongue a bit: "Ehehe…"

He shook his head, then said: "Anyway, just save your excitement for the concert. I'm gonna back to my duty now. Have fun.".


(Later, at the concert)

At a futuristic stadium, a crowd of people were gathered, taking their seats. Among the crowd who are still waiting in the sidelines was Hibiki, and oh boy, she did not look happy.

"EEEEEEEEEHH!? What do you mean you can't come?" Hibiki exclaimed into her phone.

-Sorry, Hibiki, but my grandma got into an accident. Me and my family are now heading to the place right now.- Miku said with apology.

"D-Demo, Miku, I barely knew a thing about this group!" The cream-haired girl whined.

-I'm really sorry. I asked Ryouga-san to join you earlier, but he's stuck with his work too so no one can come. But don't worry, just calm down and enjoy yourself. You can send me the record, ok?- Miku said.

"Oh… okay then. I'll be sure to do it." Hibiki then hang up and exclaimed, cursing at her misfortune while going to find her seat. "What rotten luck!"


(Backstage)

Inside the backstage area of the stadium, while the workers were busy finishing touches to make sure the concert was perfect, the blue-haired idol Tsubasa who was wearing a hooded poncho that kept her stage outfit clean, is now sitting behind a crate with her legs curled up, held her hands together to most likely wishing for luck. Kanade came up to her, interrupting the pre-show ritual.

"Gets rather boring, huh?" Kanade asked with carefree, sitting next to her while putting her arms behind her head. "I really want to go crazy out there.".

Tsubasa nodded. "I know what you mean.".

Kanade looked back at her. "Hmm? Don't tell me you're feeling nervous now?".

The bluenette girl said back: "Of course I am!". She then looked down at the floor with a nervous blush: "It's natural, Sakurai-san said today is especially…" Tsubasa got interrupted by a flick to her forehead.

"And there you go again. Seriously, why are you being so serious? Lighten up a bit!" The red-haired girl said, trying to lighten up her best friend's mood.

"There you are." Genjuro then appeared, walking up to the two idols.

"Commander." Tsubasa gave him a respectful bow, looking up at the man.

"Ho-ho, if it isn't Genjuro-jiisan!" Kanade said. "Come to wish us good luck?"

The man nodded, asked: "I trust you two understand how important today is?"

The red-haired said casually with a wave: "No need to worry about us Jii-san. We know that today is paramount to mankind's future, yadda yadda yadda. Just leave everything to us and make sure that hunk of rock doesn't blow up on us.".

Genjuro nodded with a small smirk. "I'll hold you onto that, Kanade. It's in good hands now. Today's performance will be paramount to mankind's future."


(At the underground lab)

In an underground lab, a group of scientists are now setting up various equipments necessary for the important experiment, one that involved a stone tablet placed under the observation desk. Kyoko was among them and went to answer her phone.

"Hai, hai~ Sakurai Kyoko de~su! Everything is ready on our end!"


(Back to the Backstage)

Nodding a few times, Genjuro said: "Understood. I'll be right there.".

Kanade said to their manager with a confident smile: "Leave the performance to us, ok?" The man nodded, turning to the exit, before he stopped by Kanade: "Wait. I have a question.".

"What?"

"Do you think that armored guy will show his presence here?" She then asked him. Ever since she watched the footage of that guy on the TV, she's been plagued with curiosity.

"I would say one in a million." Genjuro answered. "I just don't see that man will come here just for a concert."


(Meanwhile, with Ryouga)

After wiping some sweats on his forehead while finishing his cleaning duty, stretching his back a bit, Ryouga said: "Phew~ What a day… Today sure packs a lot of customers." He then took out his RisePhone, checking the time before frowning, thought: 'That's my cue to depart now.'. The raven-haired teen then put back, untied his apron, called out to the lady. "Excuse me, can I take my leave now? I got my other schedule waiting."

The lady said in the kitchen while cleaning few remaining dishes: "Oh, of course, you can go. Don't stress yourself too much and be careful with the Noise, okay?"

Ryouga said back to her. "Yes, Ma'am!" He then changed back to his normal clothes, went out and closed the door; walked to a nearby building while letting himself unnoticed, took out the RisePhone, pressed the Bike app and threw it in the air, letting it transform into Rise Hopper. He then put on the Zero-One Driver on his waist and his helmet, wearing the gloves and get on the bike, then proceed to drove fast to the concert, ready for the upcoming ambush.


(Back to the stadium)

After finding her seat, Hibiki then sit back with a exhausted sigh while getting herself a glow stick: "Ugh, finally! Standing on the lines making my legs hurt." She looked up at the stage with little unease because of the large crowd, taking deep breaths to calm down. "Okay, calm down, Hibiki. You're a teenage girl now. There's nothing to be scared!" The lights then died down as small lights were showing up on the stage, making Hibiki startled a bit. "Ah, it started!" She then took out her phone from the pocket, letting it faced front with the phone in record mode.

(Inserting Gyakkou no Flugel)

Once the music started, the people started cheering loudly, almost deafening the stadium. Feathers started to fall slowly from the ceiling and in a few minutes later, two females descended from the runway, giving people the cue to light up their glow sticks.

The first female revealed to be Amou Kanade, wearing a light pink and hot pink strapless pleated dress with a light yellow petticoat, a large coral colored bow and a right wing on her bustle. She also wears a light pink scarf along with white heels.

The second female next to her was Kazanari Tsubasa; her outfit consists of a high-collared crop top with white shorts and a lowly belted pleated skirt cut diagonally from the left hip, with a large light blue bow and left wing on her bustle. She also wears white and blue stockings up to her thigh, and light blue boots with the left one reaching to her knee and the right reaching to her ankle.

Needless to say, they were very beautiful and stunning with those outfits.

"Kikoemasu ka...?" Gekijō kanaderu MUSIC

Upon the completion of the first half of the song, everyone in the crowd were cheering wildly like crazy with loud claps. Hibiki stared at the two idols with awe, starstruck by their songs. Looks like she was having a good time.

Just then, more music started to play. They must be getting ready to the second half.

"WE'RE NOT DONE YET!" Kanade shouted excitedly into her mic, cheering up the crowd more as the two idols began their next song.


(With the Underground Lab)

In the underground lab under the stage, the experiment was going successful as planned.

"Phonic Gain growth within expected range." One scientist reported.

"Hmm. I guess we can write this one off as a success." Ryoko said, humming with accomplishment.

Genjuro let out a sigh in relief with a satisfied smile, said: "Otsukaresama, shokun (Great work, gentleman)."

HOONK! HOONK!* 'Warning alarm noise, I think…'

At this happy moment, alarms started to go AWOL as flashing red lights filled the room with danger.

"Nanigoto da (What happened)!?" Genjuro demanded with slight panic.

"Da-Daihen desu (It's terrible)! The dampening system can't handle the sudden rising internal pressure!" A male scientist exclaimed, causing the commander to widen his eyes in panic.

"At this rate, the Relic will awaken and go berserk!" A female scientist exclaimed as the experiment was starting to emit an enormous energy that started to wrap and convulse, flashing wildly until…

FLASH!*


(With Ryouga, shortly)

While riding fast on the street with high speed, Ryouga's eyes then widened because of the sudden shift in the wind, said: "The wind's direction has changed, that means…" He turned his head sharply at where the stadium is. "KURU ZE (It's coming)!"


(Back to the stadium)

KABOOM!*

"WAH! What the…!?" Hibiki gasped in surprise, jumped out of her seat while turning her head wildly at where the sudden explosion comes from.

Then one person started to scream, pointed at the open ceiling, causing everyone to look up and gasped in fright. The beings that people feared in their nightmare appeared in the sky, started charging energy and firing while dropping off its fellow Noises creatures. Just the sight of those aliens caused everyone to scream and ran in panic, making the situation even harder to get away as everyone, including men, women and children getting slaughtered.

Kanade gritted her teeth, clenching her fists hatefully at the slaughter, exclaim: "We need to fly NOW, Tsubasa! Only we can fight against them!".

"B-But the Commander hasn't-" Tsubasa didn't get the chance to finish talking as Kanade had jumped off the stage. "Kanade!"

~Crotizall Ronzell Gungnir zillz…~

After Kanade singing some kind of strange spell, her body then cloaked with a bright light and dissipates, revealing Kanade in her new outfit. Her now battle suit consisting of a white, black, and orange bodysuit that exposed her stomach, a pair of bulky gauntlets on both wrists, along with a pair of rabbit ear like headphones. The energy emitted from the transformation caused the Noise to change color, blowing some of them away and dissipated into ashes.

(Inserting Kimi to iu Oto Kanade Tsukiru made)

Kanade crossed her hands, causing the bulky gauntlet on both wrists to fuse together and changed into a white and orange spear with the red crystal-shaped like object in the center. She then charged at the Noise with a battle cry, using her spear to slice two of them in half, causing them to disintegrate. Then she ran at another one, continuing to run and cut down any Noise that got close to her. Kanade then jumped into the air and threw her spear which began to multiply as soon as it left her hand, letting out a rain of spears falling down on the Noise with no mercy.

"STARDUST PHOTON!"


(Meanwhile, at the Underground Lab)

While Kanade was fighting at the stadium, back down at the now wrecked and destroyed lab, the only survivor was Genjuro as the others were crushed by rubbles, stood up, holding his left hand and looked around, struggling to walk.

"Ryoko…" Genjuro said, struggling to make his way out. "Is she alright?"

A rainbow-colored light then caught the man's attention, prompting him to look at where the light comes from which was the experiment's test subject.

"Mephisto is… preparing."

Suddenly, crumbles of rock fell over the Relic, causing him to step back and run out of the ruined lab, knowing that he couldn't retrieve the Relic as the place was starting to come down.


(Back to the stadium)

Back to the battle, joining Kanade was Tsubasa, donning in her own Relic armor, which consisted of a light blue and black bodysuit with forearmed gauntlets, black headphones, and a blade on each of her ankles. This was her Relic, the Ame-no-Habakiri. Her choice of weapon was a white katana, along with the blades on her ankles to cleave any Noise she came across.

Meanwhile, with Kanade, she was continuously carving out a warpath, creating a miniature cyclone by twirling her spear that tore a mammoth-sized Noise like a small centipede to shreds.

"LAST METEOR!"

Together, Kanade and Tsubasa left nothing but ashes in the road, causing a big explosion, shadowing them for a moment. Unbeknownst to them, while the two idols were fighting, Hibiki, who was still alive somehow watched the battle occurred in front of her, looking with shock and fear, said: "W-What is this? What just…"

Suddenly, the Noise turned themselves into makeshift bullets and shot themselves at Kanade and Tsubasa, but to no success as they cut down the incoming bullets in pieces.

(End Song)

As the battle dragged on, Kanade looked at her suit, noticing that the color of the armor started to fade and flicker at some small places, letting out a frustrated curse: "Crap, my suit's running out of fuel." In her frustration, she failed to notice a Noise going past her, heading straight towards the girl, revealed to be Hibiki, making Kanade called out to Hibiki with alarm: "Oh shit! Hey, you! Don't just stand there! Get away!"

The cream-haired heard the call, but her legs would not move because of fear. She could only stare at the incoming Noise, ready to turn her into dust. Or what they would think…

VROOOOM!*

Out of nowhere, the armored hero appeared riding the bike, slamming the Noise in the air before it could harm Hibiki. Revving up the engine, the wheels spinned like a saw, skewered the Noise underneath. Not stopping, he zoomed at the other ones with high speed, crashing the army like a bunch of small flies and landed safely, turning the bike behind for a dramatic explosion.


(10 seconds earlier)

Ryouga has arrived to the stadium and continued to riding at the Noise while taking out Hopper Key from his pocket, pressing the button and scanned it on the Driver.

[JUMP! *Scanning sound* AUTHORIZE!]

He immediately performing a wheelie in the air, flicked open the cover of the Key and inserted it to the Driver, and shouts: "HENSHIN!"

The RideModule Hopper came out from the Driver, let out a loud croak, jumped in front of Ryouga, forming the armor.

[PROGRISE!]

[TOBIAGA RISE (Jump up and Rise)! RISING HOPPER!]

[A jump to the sky turns to a Rider Kick.]


(Back to the present)

Zero-One looked at the exploded Noises, relieved that he was able to get here and saved Hibiki in time. Thankfully, because of the helmet, no one was able to recognize him. Turning back to the girl, he got out of the bike, asked: "You alright?"

Hibiki just simply nodded, still looking in shock and awe that she was able to escape death door at no way-out, and seeing the armored hero in front of her.

He nodded. "That's good." He may unable to get here on time to save any other survivors, but he'll be dammed if he can't even save one life in the war. Looking to the two idol's direction, he saw both the singers of Zwei Wing are fighting and killing the aliens. It always made him deadpanned at the fact that they were able to kill the Noises with music, but he put that thought aside for later. Judging by the situation, Kanade was more exhausted than Tsubasa because of the slowly fading color of the armor as she failed to block an attack from a Noise. Thankfully, the suit still has power so she didn't get disintegrated. Time for the action.

The armored hero looked at Hibiki and said: "You should get out of here quick. It's not gonna be pretty."

"H-Hai!" Hibiki hastily nodded and ran to a safe place, away from the battle as possible.

Looking at Hibiki ran for a moment, he then turned his head back to one of the mammoth-sized Noise approaching him. Zero-One glared at the Noise underneath the helmet, pressing the button on Rise Hopper, turning it back to normal and put it back to his Rider Space. He materialized out the Attache Calibur with its Blade Mode already formed, brandishing the blade with one swipe and ready to strike.

[BLADERISE!]

(Inserting Kamen Rider Zero-One OST: Zero-One, Sore wa Ore no Na da! "Zero-One, That's my Name!" *PS: Sorry for the mistake typing in Episode 0*)

The holographic grasshopper's leg appeared on his leg, Zero-One instantly dashed towards the huge Noise, passing by the girls. He then channeled his energy into the blade, cloaking it with yellow aura, impaling it in the head, making it turned into dust in a second with the rest of the body disintegrated.

Landing on the ground, he turns to see Kanade and Tsubasa staring at him with amazed expression.

After a few seconds staring, he then said: "You know… I already expected some ambushes from the Noise, but I didn't expect that two popular singers here are powerful fighters in secret." He wondered if it was possible for them to fight on par with the Magia? As soon as he finished the sentence, he turned back to the Noises, as they were starting to surround them.

"We're surrounded." Tsubasa stated the obvious.

The armored hero then said, flicking his wrist: "But it's nothing we can't handle.".

Kanade looked at me for a moment before she smiled at him: "So, we got to meet you. What's your name?"

Hiding his real identity, he said with a short sentence. "Zero-One. Kamen Rider Zero-One."

"Kamen… Rider?" Tsubasa questioned in confuse.

"You could say that I'm someone who protects humanity's freedom." Zero-One said, looking back at the Noise army. "Now, are we just gonna stand here for a chat?"

Their answer to him was raising their weapons, readying their fighting stances.

"Good answer." He said. "Time to test these two in the real fight."

(End BGM)

The armored hero then stabbed the Calibur into the ground for a moment, took out the Rising Hopper Key from the Driver by sliding the cover back to its usual place, causing the girls to look at him with confusion.

"What are you doing?" The blue-haired questioned.

Instead of answering, he takes out a light blue Progrise Key from the left Holder, with a blue screen front cover with the black image of a shark; he pressed the activation button and scanned it on the Authoriser.

[FANG!]

[AUTHORISE!]

The holographic water came out of the Driver, surrounding the ground, making both the aliens and the girls surprised, causing Kanade to ask: "Huh? Water?"

The water surface then turns blue, and leaping out of the water was a huge mechanized shark, about 1/4 size of a legendary Megalodon, with light blue streaks on the body. It then let out a savage roar, snarling and leaping at the aliens, chomping dozens of the Noise.

"A… A SHARK!?" Both Kanade and Tsubasa exclaimed in surprise.

Zero-One chuckled a bit, and called out to the mechanized shark. "Ikuze, Shark!" He then flicked the front cover open, revealing the exoskeleton body, and inserted in the Driver, with the shark's head as the new symbol.

[PROGRISE!]

The mechanized shark heard its partner's call, obliged with a nod. It then roared, swimming around, blowing some of the Noise away and leapt into the air, digitized into light blue particles and merged into his body. The Rising Hopper armor shifted around his body, with both thigh and shin armor shifted around to become black, his shoe armor moved to the side, the chest armor split in half and went down to the arms to become fins on the bracers. And lastly, his face-guard was split in two and turned into a jaw-guard and protrusion.

[KIRI-KIRIBAI! KIRIKIRIBAI!]

[BITING SHARK~!]

Zero-One then got his new armor formed, with the shin guards had blue fins with light blue armored gloves and the shoe armor covered with light blue armors. His shoulder and chest armor had gills-style protection to them, with the chest having a red diamond crystal embedded in the center. And finally his mask, which was a shark-styled face, with purple red eyes and teal blue colored armor alongside a shark jagged mouth etch on the mouthguard.

This was Kamen Rider Zero-One Biting Shark.

[Fangs that can chomp through concrete.]

Zero-One then looked at his new armor for a moment, admired: "Ho-ho? So this is what a new Trial-Form feels like, huh? Neat.".

Both the girls are looking at him with stupefied expression in silence, and Kanade then broke the silence with fangirlism awe, checking the armored hero with animated star-like eyes, zooming around him. "SU-SUGEE~! What was that just now? How did you do it? Can I get one of these too!?".

Zero-One answered: "Sorry, but it's a secret, and these are not for sale. Let's get back to the fight, shall we?"

Tsubasa snapped out of her trance, and said to her partner: "Oh, um, right! Focus back on the fight, Kanade!" She then pulled the red-haired girl back a bit, making Kanade stepped back with a pout, and turned her attention back to the Noise with a smirk. "Phoo~ Fine. But I'm gonna have myself something like that when this is over.".

"We'll see." He said nonchalantly, pulling the Calibur off the ground. "Ikuze!"

He then immobilized the Noise by stabbing the blade fueled with light blue aura into the ground that was filled with water, trapping the aliens with invisible liquid-like ropes, binding them by the legs. They then charged and took care of the ones he immobilized before they took on the ones that were still in their baffled state. Zero-One unleashed a horizontal slash wave at ten of them, then giving a small wave of tsunami with his left hand gesturing the water, swallowing and vaporizing them. He was about to turn behind for the sneak attack when Kanade appeared and stabbed it, dissolving it. She then gave him a wink and a smile as he said nothing, went and impaled a Noise that was about to attack her, surprising her.

"Consider we're even." Zero-One said, getting a nonchalant shrug from Kanade.

He then notices some Noises trying to surround Tsubasa so he teleported to her slower a bit, compared to his Rising Hopper form, and skewered them in few slashes.

"Careful, those things like to sneak attack at us." He said to Tsubasa, getting a curt, but acknowledge nod from her.

"Wakatteru (I know)!" Tsubasa said, killing off another one before stabbed another Noise with the ankle blade.

From the corner of his eyes, Zero-One then uses his visors' supervision ability to saw Hibiki running at a safe distance, but not for long when one of the big Noises shoot some green liquid-like acid at her, but Kanade appeared and protected her by spinning her spear. But he then narrowed his eyes as he saw her armor was starting to crack. Then suddenly, a fragment from the cracks shot out at a speed Kanade couldn't react to it as it headed straight for Hibiki. Zero-One then shouts with an alarmed tone: "NO!" He zoomed at where Hibiki is standing with blue cybernetic streaks, holding out his hand and trying to catch it with a grasp, but the fragment pierced through his left arm, causing sparks on the left hand and spewing bloods out.

"AAARGH!"

The fragment slowed down a bit by him, and it pierced Hibiki straight in the chest!

His eyes shrunk like dots when he saw blood pouring out of Hibiki's body, and he roared at the huge Noise, instantly dissolving it with a vertical energy slash, shaped like a shark's jaw, snapping the huge mammoth-sized alien. The armored hero dropped his blade, ignoring the pain on his left hand and crouched down to her, using the bandages that materialized on his hand, trying his best to stop the bleeding. "Fuck! Hibiki, stay strong! Don't die on me yet!" He was practically begging at the death reaper not to come for Hibiki, not wanting a repeat of his tragic past again. "Open your eyes, goddamnit! You must live! You have to live! HIBIKI!" He shouts tearfully to her, begging her to open her eyes. As requested by his pleas, her eyes were slowly opened, looking at me slightly. He let out a sigh in relief while hugging her lightly, carefully not to let the scar expanded.

"Zero-One!" Kanade called out in concern while hearing his cries. "How is she? Is she safe?"

"Yeah, she'll be fine." He said, making her sigh in relief. He doesn't blame her since her armor almost killed her. He looked at Hibiki, still sleeping in her comatose state. "She'll live, but she needs medical attention-Argh!"

He grunted out with pain, looking at his smoking, bleeding left hand where the fragment had pierced through. Kanade looked at the two in concern, and then looked in her hand before clenching it. She tapped his back, making him look at her.

Kanade then said: "Look after her, okay? I'll end this war quickly."

"Huh? What are you saying?" Zero-One questioned with confuse. He doesn't really like where this is going. What does she mean by that?

"You know, I used to want to sing while feeling nothing..." She said while walking towards the second wave of Noise army. "But look at how many have come to hear me today… That's why… I'm going to give them everything I have. And this will be my final aria." She then raised her spear to the sky, speaking in a tone of someone who was prepared to die.

"Oi… are you going to…" He said with a shaky tone.

"My Swan Song." She answered with a tear running down her right cheek, replacing with determination as she began singing.

"Kanade! Dame (No)! Don't use that song!" Tsubasa cried out in desperate plea.

He looked between them and looked at Tsubasa with a demanding tone: "What? What song?"

"The Swan Song… She's planning to sacrifice herself, taking all the Noise with her." Tsubasa said with a shaky tone, making his eyes widened in shock. As in a Kamikaze and SEPPUKU!? She then shouted to Kanade with tears. "Please Kanade! DON'T DO IT!"

In his mind, Ryouga's eyes widened in rage and utter shock. Kanade's sacrificing herself for everyone to survive? Killing herself in the process? That's… That sentence is the one he hated the most even if only one word coming out from it. He thinks to himself with slowly building anger. 'No… I won't let that happen… I won't let anyone dying for me AGAIN!' Setting Hibiki down at a nearby wall, he ran towards Kanade, grabbing her roughly by the shoulder, making her stop singing and turned to face him.

"KONO BOKE GAAAA (You fucking idiot)!" Zero-One shouted at her, and punched her in the face, causing her to fell down to the ground, reaching to the place he punched her at.

He clenched his fist, gritting his teeth in anger while looking at her with deep resentment presented on his glowing visors, and shouted at her: "You… You really are a fucking IDIOT! What the hell were you thinking, throwing your life away like that!? Don't you even care about your friend's feeling, and yourself at all!? Look at her!" He harshly pointed at where Tsubasa is standing, and continuing his lecture while glaring at the Noise hatefully. "Your friend here was calling out for you, begging in desperate not letting you to kill yourself! Do you think she'll be happy with you being gone to the other side? DO YOU!? At least cherish your life, for God's sake! Cherish the memories you've made with your friend to the fullest! As long as I'm here, I will continue to stand up and fight till my life out of breath! Not when I still living!" He then pushed Kanade off to the side, forcing her to sit down at the ground.

"Now, sit back and WATCH!" Zero-One then turned his head back to the aliens with glaring red eyes, starting to emit a faint red aura. He took out the Biting Shark Key from the belt, then takes out a red colored Progrise Key with the image of a tiger, pressed the button and scanned it on the Driver with anger, almost hitting the belt.

[FIRE!]

[AUTHORISE!]

A stream of immense red fire spewed out from the Authoriser, burning many Noises with accuracy, then came out a mechanized tiger with red streak on its body, along with the fiery aura that got 'boosted' by the armored hero's anger. It roared threateningly at the aliens, leaping with its death gaze, swiping the army's heads out of their bodies with a SHIINK!

Zero-One called out with unrestrained anger: "Come over here, Tiger!" And slotted the Key into the Driver.

[PROGRISE!]

The mechanized tiger complied with a roar of approval, sharing the same anger as him. It then racing around Zero-One a bit and leaped into the air digitized, forming a new armor.

[GIGANT FLARE!]

The light blue boot armor disappeared, returning to its default Hopper form for a second, then shifted to the outside of his feet, giving him the red boot armor; the shoulderpads were half-covered by the Hopper's base armor; his Shark's mask disappeared, the splitted Hopper's mask slid down to become the bracers on his arms. The new red armor then formed, turned into tiger striped-style thigh guards, red gloves with black 'paws' on both palms, striped-style shoulderpads and smooth red chest plate, with the mask shapes like a tiger's face, blue eyes for the visor, and pointed ears.

This was Kamen Rider Zero-One Flaming Tiger.

[FLAMING TIGER~!]

[Explosive power of 100 bombs.]

Zero-One then unleashed the fully-formed red aura, causing a small shockwave but with some heat, cracking the ground with small fires. Underneath the helmet, his eyes surprisingly changed into red dragon-like slitted eyes, his side teeth at the upper jaw turned into a pair of fangs that reached to his lower jaw a bit, giving him a wild look. He then let out a loud roar at the Noises.

"RAAAAAAAAAAHHH!"

The loud roar comes out from the helmet's striped mouthguard, blowing some of the Noises away, crashing into their own fellas, then exploded by the immense heatwave coming from the roar. He then lashed out at the aliens with the right hand hold out to the front, shooting out a stream of fire at them, scorching the ground a bit, blasting a large amount of the army.

"You assholes really went too far… Now I'm MAD!" Zero-One roared at the Noise with glaring blue eyes, causing them to backed down a bit in fear of the armored hero's rage. He then slammed down the Key for the finisher.

[FLAMING IMPACT!]

He brought his hands together in a double palm strike pose, placing his feet back and crouching to the right side a bit, rotating his body clockwise while charging energy in the center point. Flames from the ground starting to gather to his hands in a spiral until it was no more, forming a light ball of fire resembling a miniature solar, and throw his hand forward with a shout, blue eyes shone with lightning streaks came out from his eyes:

"STRIKE BOOST!"

A massive energy beam fueled by the flames with red cybernetic spirals shoots out to the front, vaporizing the aliens in one move.

フレイミングインパクト

[FLAMING IMPACT!]

KA-BOOOOOOOOOOM!*


(Flashback in a minute *pressing on the Faiz Axel Watch* START UP!)

Kanade and Tsubasa didn't know what to say with astonished expression written on their faces when they saw Zero-One appeared on the footage. At first, they were wary of him since he didn't rely on Relic's powers to defeat those Noises, but brushed those thoughts aside when they began to fight. As they fought, they got to get to know his codename and what he looks like. He was a bit aloof and secretive, but his heart was in the right place and could be emotional when they saw him slashing at the huge Noise with an enraged roar after seeing the girl got pierced in the chest by Kanade's Gungnir fragment, clearly distraught.

If Kanade could find the right words, she was really impressed by his equipment and strength. He had one hell of a punch, an interesting suitcase that changed into a sword, some kind of big-sized datakeys that has animal powers (Seriously, she was excited and jealous a bit because she didn't know where she could ever get one of those!), and a bike that turns into a phone!? After seeing what he could do, she was glad that he was on the ally side.

When Zero-One went to Kanade to stop her from completing her Swan Song, Tsubasa didn't really know whether to feel happy or angry. Happy because she didn't get to finish the Swan Song and angry at Zero-One for 'punching' her friend squarely in the face.

Both of them were amazed at Zero-One's new transformation, which is red tiger-themed armor, and frightened a bit of his 'rageful' roar at the Noises after he had given Kanade a piece of his mind. Then they get even more surprised when seeing him shooting out a blast of immense fire at the Noises, vaporizing them in an instant, leaving no traces of them behind.

"STRIKE BOOST!"

フレイミングインパクト

[FLAMING IMPACT!]

*KA-BOOOOOOOOOOM!*

A big explosion then erupted, dissolving all the Noises in one powerful energy beam, shadowing his silhouette for a moment. They widen their mouths agape in utter shock and awe at Zero-One after watching his abilities. He flicked his arm 'Faiz style' to the side, putting small smokes away. The awestruck silence moment then broke when Kanade's armor fully disintegrated despite the Swan Song being interrupted as she fainted from using all of her resources. Tsubasa wasted no time ran to her friend's side.

"Kanade! Kanade! Please open your eyes! KANADE!"

(Flashback end *TIME OUT!*)


(Afterwards, in a hospital)

When Kanade's eyes finally opened, the first thing she saw was a white ceiling. Looking around, she realized that she was in a hospital. Feeling someone grabbing her hand, she shifted her eyes to the left side and saw Tsubasa sleeping on the chair next to her, grasping her hand.

Kanade smiled at her before her attention was driven to the opened door, revealing a bandaged Genjuro.

"I see that you're finally awake, Kanade." He said. "Honestly, you gave us quite the scare."

"Well… I guess that's what happens when you use your body as a weapon." Kanade said with a light chuckle. "How long was I out?"

"A couple of hours." Genjuro answered, and asked after 10 seconds passed by. "Do you still remember anything what happened at the stadium?"

Thinking for a while, she answered with a small smile: "Um, yeah… I was trying to use the Swan Song and then… Zero-One stopped me from finishing it by giving harsh lectures, hehe."

"Zero-One?"

"It's the name of that armored guy that's been traveling around killing Noises." Kanade clarified.

"Hmm… Naruhodo (I see). So his name was Zero-One." Genjuro hummed in thought.

"Although, I don't think that's his real name since he also called himself Kamen Rider." She then added.

"Kamen Rider? What does that mean?" Genjuro asked with slight confuse.

"He said something about him being a protector of humanity's freedom." Kanade said. "Oh yeah, where is he now?"

"He already drove off before we could question him." Genjuro answered.

"I see…" Kanade looked down for a bit, then remembered something else. "What about the girl!? Is she alright!?"

"Relax, she's alright." The man said with comfort. "She's undergoing surgery right now, but from what we can tell, she'll be fine." That makes Kanade relaxed a bit after hearing the good news. He then said with some hesitant: "Also… we have recently discovered that despite not singing the Swan Song all the way and making it out alive, what you sung so far was enough to completely destroyed Gungnir."

"So I'm a normal human being now…" Kanade said, sadden by the fact that she could no longer fight against the Noise. "Guess that's the punishment for me after trying to do a suicidal attack."

It was then that Tsubasa started to wake up. "Hmm… Kanade?" Rubbing her eyes to adjust the surroundings, she gasps when she saw Kanade awoke. "Kanade!" She then embraced Kanade with a bear hug, tears falling from her eyes. "You're alive! You're alive!"

"H-hey… Come on, Tsubasa…! I can't breathe…" Kanade managed to say with slight pale face, struggling for air.

Tsubasa then looked at her with angry expression after she loosened her grip, said: "Oh no you don't! After what you did today, I have the right to kill you! I really thought you were gonna die!"

"Well, maybe I did and I'm just a ghost~ Kekeke!" Kanade joked a bit while imitating a ghost with her hands down.

"I can't believe you of all people still have the energy to tease me right now!" Tsubasa whined with irritation.

Genjuro let out an amused chuckle after watching the comedic scene in front of him, decided to give the two some alone time and walked out of the room. He then takes out his new phone and look at surveillance footage of Zero-One fighting alongside Kanade and Tsubasa.

'Zero-One… just who really are you?'


(Meanwhile, with Ryouga)

-Are you sure she's going to be alright!?- Miku asked on the phone with a panic tone.

Sigh* "For the last time, Miku, she's going to be alright." Ryouga said to Miku, who is on the other end of his Iphone. "The doctors said that she needs medical surgery, but she'll be fine."

-Sorry… I'm just worried about her.- Miku apologized.

"It's okay. I know how you feel." Ryouga said with shame. "I should have gone with her…"

-It's not your fault, Ryouga-san. There was nothing you could do.- Miku said with comfort.

"Anyway, it's late. I'll call you tomorrow to let you know about Hibiki's condition later, OK?"

-Right. Oyasumi.-

"Oyasumi (Good night)." He ended the call and sitting down on the mattress, looking down at the ground with frustration. "Kuso…"

No one could blame him. Despite everything that happened, he was able to save another life, which was a huge improvement over last time. But he still can't deny the regret that he wasn't able to save any other survivors, oh well, weeping about it won't get him anywhere. They're already gone and there's nothing to bring back. That's a cold hard fact he had accept for a long time. Still, Hibiki was damn close to the death door. He can't let that happen next time.

He then went to the mirror to see his reflection, questioned himself: "What is happening to me…?" In his reflection, was his eyes changed to red dragon-like slitted eyes and a pair of fangs.

The scene then closed with the Rising Hopper Progrise Key closing down the cover, bumping into Biting Shark and Flaming Tiger Progrise Key before they got in order, displaying the Keys with a blurred yellow digital background.


(Eyecatch 2)

The scene showing Zero-One appeared from the shadows, walking to where Rise Hopper is standing, with the neon yellow armor of both Zero-One and the bike shining in the darkness with the eyes glowing in the dark.


RFD: AAAAAAND DONE! Urgh, poor my hands and stupid headache after thinking some new ideas… Anyway, this chapter I think was the longest one for now. I bet that you weren't expecting Biting Shark and Flaming Tiger to appear so soon, huh? Considering the unfair situation, it was justified for Ryouga to use it. And after reading some comments, I have given my answers:

First: I will try to look and write the details as accurate as possible to make OC forms for Ryouga with Magia Keys.

Second: About the Harem… I think I would exclude Kirika and Shirabe because they are like little sisters to me. And for Maria... I don't know. She could be like, um… an older sister.

Third: As for the next chapter, I will put many references from other shows to make it a little interesting for some surprise developments, especially for upcoming enemies or using special attacks.

Well, that's my answer for now. Red Flame Dragon, signing out. Until the next Ride!

Ooh, and one more thing. I gave Ryouga some OC powers for him to help him utilize his arsenal in order to get ready for the upcoming fight, mainly something related to dragons. *Well, because I'm a big fan of Dragons, hehe…*

Anyway, Pound it, Noggin', See ya!

This chapter's new info:

Strike Boost: Based on Ultraman Geed Solid Burning's special attack.
