Chapter 01 Episode 03: The Sword Of Light
The Gehena Detention Center was infamous for being an inescapable prison. However, a breakout had occurred.
Sorasaki Hina stood vigilant at the perimeter of Gehena Detention Center, leading the Disciplinary Committee in their efforts to keep all prisoners inside. Breaking through the perimeter seemed impossible with limited ammunition.
When the General Student Council President disappeared, and chaos engulfed Kivotos, Hina and the Disciplinary Committee were the only group successfully containing their prisoners. But now, faced with a second breakout, Hina readied her gun upon seeing something suspicious.
A hooded man walked calmly, followed by humanoid figures. Hina concluded that this man was undoubtedly the cause of the ordeal.
As he walked, other prisoners transformed into plant-like creatures, shooting explosive green seeds or engaging in sword fights.
"Everyone, retreat!" Hina ordered.
She witnessed one of her own comrades turning into one of those creatures. They had the ability to transform people into their kind.
"Jyamato, huh..." a voice spoke from behind Hina, "I've heard about them from Sensei, but I didn't expect to encounter them."
"Michinaga-kun," Hina looked at the man behind her, "Did we receive reinforcements from SCHALE? I don't want to risk more people turning into those things."
"I managed to contact them. Arona said they will send someone, and Sensei authorized my use of the Desire Driver," Michinaga added.
"Then do it," Hina ordered.
Michinaga retrieved a Desire Driver and a purple-colored Raise Buckle. He inserted the Raise Buckle into the Desire Driver and activated it.
"HENSHIN!" Michinaga shouted as he pulled the lever on his Raise Buckle.
"SET!" the belt responded, "ZOMBIE! Ready! FIGHT!"
Michinaga now wore black armor with a purple chest and helmet, wielding a chainsaw sword. He looked at Hina.
"Head prefect, will you cover me?" Michinaga asked.
"Why do you need to ask?" Hina replied.
The two nodded at each other as Michinaga charged towards the humanoid-plant monster, bullets protecting him from his blind spots.
This was the well-oiled teamwork of the Head Prefect and Vice Head Prefect of Gehenna, Gehenna's best duo.
The Jyamato, as they were called, were easily beaten. Chainsaw slashes tore through their plant-like bodies while bullets annihilated them from behind. But upon defeat, those plant-like monsters turned back into humans.
"Oh, they come back after enough damage, it seems," Michinaga reported through his earpiece.
"Then we don't have to hold back," Hina replied.
She changed her magazine and then shouted, "Disciplinary Committee! Don't hesitate! Shoot them!"
With renewed spirit, the Disciplinary Committee launched a relentless onslaught.
Meanwhile, Michinaga dashed toward the hooded man, jumped, and slashed his clawed arms. However, the hooded man caught his hand.
"You are... not Buffa, are you?" The hooded man looked surprised, "Well, no matter. You will be a fine addition to my Desire Grand Prix!"
Michinaga jumped and then kicked the hooded man's chest, disengaging himself from the mysterious figure.
"You seem to mistake me for someone else," Michinaga crouched and then pulled out another Raise Buckle. He inserted the new Raise Buckle on the left side of the Desire Driver.
"SET!" The belt voiced, "DUAL ON! STING!" it declared as Michinaga pushed its side button.
Then, a purple-colored armor attached to Michinaga's lower half. A black tail with a claw moved independently, creating a semicircular line on the ground with its claw. "Let me tell you! I am Michinaga Zetsu, Kamen Rider Horobi!"
Michinaga pushed the button on the Sting Raise Buckle.
"STING STRIKE!"
Michinaga propelled himself upward. As his tail covered his left foot, Michinaga twisted his body mid-flight, then extended his leg forward. Surrounded by purple energy, he began to descend, sending a kick toward the hooded man.
The hooded man, however, touched the ground, and a plant-like pillar grew, punching Michinaga away, canceling his final attack.
Michinaga landed safely, but his armor disappeared.
The hooded man, now with his hood down, smiled. He wore glasses, and half of his face was covered with vines.
"You are just a level one, and you dare to fight the final boss?" The hooded man smiled menacingly. A helicopter hovered above him, and a rope ladder descended.
"Then I will introduce myself," The man reached for the ladder, "One name you might have for me is 'The World', or you might call me 'The Universe', or perhaps, 'God'," The man declared with a wide smile and dramatic gestures, "I am all, and I am one. But you may simply call me The Gardener," The ladder ascended as the helicopter start to get away. Then he gestured with his hand, "for confining me in this world, I will soon bestow you the despair you all deserver!"
The Disciplinary Committee members pointed their guns toward the mysterious figure. However, with a slight of hand, the plant-like pillar attacked them.
Hina set her gun to burst mode and annihilated the plant-like pillar with her bullets. However, when the pillar was destroyed, the helicopter had already flown away.
"You okay, Michinaga?" Hina asked.
"I am fine," Michinaga replied, "But we really should report this to SCHALE. Something bad will happen soon."
Fuwa Itsuki entered the Seminar's office at night, certain that Yuuka and Noa had gone home, allowing him to add one more student to the student roster. Since he had authorization, he didn't need to ask Veritas for permission.
Itsuki's heart raced as he entered the dark room and walked towards the Seminar's computer, or rather, his computer. All the computers in the room were guarded, both digitally and physically, due to dealing with sensitive data in Millennium.
Finally, he settled into his comfortable chair and turned it on. However, a voice called out to Itsuki.
"IIIT...SUU...KIII!"
Startled, Itsuki jumped and fell to the ground, only to find Yuuka and Noa already surrounding him, cutting off his escape route.
"Uh...I didn't know you were still here," Itsuki said weakly.
"We know about that strange girl you acquired from the ruins," Noa informed him. "At 18:57, you and the Saiba Twins brought the girl to the Game Development Club room. Are you perhaps...kidnapping?"
"Please explain!" Yuuka demanded, her anger clear.
Itsuki sighed and then sat back in his chair. "Well, we didn't kidnap her. We found her. I had planned not to tell you at all, but how did you find out, anyway?"
"That would be because of me," another voice called out, and as Itsuki turned around, he found an older man with glasses calmly drinking a cup of tea, smiling at him.
Itsuki looked at the three people surrounding him and asked, "Sensei, are you also here? Did you three purposefully hide in the dark just to surprise me like this?"
"Hahaha, that was Noa's idea," Sensei replied with a wide grin. "Anyway, the moment you used the Desire Driver, my system alerted me, and it was an easy way to send a drone to find out what happened."
"So...you followed me?" Itsuki asked.
"Arona!" Sensei called.
A holographic grade schooler girl with blue hair appeared behind Sensei, and then he typed on the floating keyboard before a screen appeared in front of Itsuki.
"Oh, hello Arona-chan," Noa waved her hand toward the holographic girl.
"Good evening, Noa-san," Arona bowed to her. "Ah, please focus on the discussion," she said to Noa as Arona pushed the screen towards the Seminar members.
It displayed a record of Itsuki blowing up the security robot and then entering the suspicious building.
"We have been following you since then," Noa informed him.
"You're the vice president! Why would you do something so reckless and against the rules like that?" Yuuka asked, her tone turning worried.
"I already informed you that the building is dangerous, didn't I?" Sensei added. "The first time you went on a 'treasure hunt' with Hanaoka Yuzu, I told you never to come back. And I also told you not to use what you found in there. Why did you go against my explicit order?"
"Well...I'm helping a friend," Itsuki looked away from Sensei.
Yuuka grabbed Itsuki's head and forced him to bow. "Apologize!"
"I am sorry!" Itsuki said.
"Ah, I don't actually mind," Sensei sipped his cup of tea before continuing. "Let me inform you why I forbid you to use it."
The holographic girl moved again, and several screens appeared around them.
"You aren't the first or the last to find that treasure. They are everywhere, but every time someone finds it, I always go to them and tell them not to use the driver."
The screens showed several people finding the same 'treasure' as Itsuki, a box containing the Desire Driver and a Raise Buckle.
"But I expected one of you would soon use it anyway," Sensei added. "Because the moment any of these Drivers is activated, the Desire Grand Prix will start."
The three students looked at Sensei, clearly confused. The holographic girl then pushed another screen.
"Approximately half an hour ago, a breakout happened in Gehena Detention Center. The supposedly unbreakable detention center has now been breached," Sensei informed him as the screen showed the carnage that occurred in Gehena.
Itsuki then saw another Kamen Rider on the screen.
"I see you have noticed," Sensei smiled with pride. "Since you have used your Desire Driver, I now authorize the use of all Desire Drivers. Now, the man that Kamen Rider fought against? That man has a big neon sign with 'Warning' written above his head. He will come for you, for all of you who hold the Desire Driver."
"Uh...then, what are you here for?" Itsuki asked. "I am okay if you want to punish me, but I need to finish what I started first."
"Sensei is warning you," Yuuka called out.
"Yes, she is right," Sensei nodded. "You have just opened Pandora's box. Something will happen, and you should remember the responsibility is in your hands."
Sensei's words hung ominously in the air. But then, he asked Noa for a refill. After he got another cup of tea, he continued.
"Now then, tell me about this girl you allegedly kidnapped."
"I didn't kidnap anyone!" Itsuki shouted, clearly annoyed.
Yuuka and Noa sat beside Sensei. Itsuki looked at the three people around him and then sighed.
"Well, the story began when..." Itsuki began, explaining how he went to the ruins and how he found the mysterious girl, now named Arisu.
Morning had arrived, and Itsuki made his way towards the Game Development Club's room. As he opened the door, he immediately noticed that the girls hadn't returned home again.
Itsuki had been acquainted with these girls for some time now. Yuzu had invited him to join the club, which led to his introduction to the Saiba twins. They enjoyed playing games together, creating new game together, and discussing their shared love for retro games.
However, something felt different that day.
"Oh, Hero, you've arrived," a girl with long black hair greeted Itsuki, her wide smile a stark contrast to their last encounter. She still held a game console in her hand, while other club members lounged around her.
"Is that you, Arisu?" Itsuki asked, taken aback by the sudden change in her speech.
"Undoubtedly, it is I, Arisu," she confirmed.
Yuzu was the first to rise, her red hair falling into her eyes as she looked at Itsuki, rubbing her eyes sleepily.
"Good morning, Itsuki-kun," she greeted.
The twins awoke shortly after, nearly simultaneously, and due to their close proximity, they accidentally bumped their heads into each other.
"Whoa, you're already here!" Momoi exclaimed, surprised.
"Finally, you've joined us," Arisu greeted her new friends. "It's fortunate that you've returned to the land of the living."
"Momoi, Midori, Yuzu, what on earth have you been teaching Arisu?" Itsuki asked, his confusion evident.
"Oh, we've been teaching her some games," Momoi confidently replied. "The best way for her to learn to speak normally is through practice. And look, she's absorbed the language like a sponge."
"Indeed, this hero has learned various new skills overnight," Arisu proudly declared. "I can cook with the push of a button, gather items with lightning-fast battles, and even wield magic!" She struck a pose, pointing her hand towards Itsuki. "Would you like to experience my light magic, O Demon Lord?"
"Don't call me that," Itsuki sighed.
"Ahahaha... I didn't expect this to happen," Midori facepalmed.
"Well, she can communicate well enough, I suppose," Itsuki finally decided. "Go freshen up, girls. We have an appointment with several people today." Itsuki handed the girls a paper bag. "This is all Arisu needs for today. We'll have to buy more things later, but the essentials are in there."
Yuzu accepted the bags and peeked inside, "Thank you, Itsuki-kun. You're a big help..." Yuzu's words trailed off when she spotted something unexpected. She looked at Itsuki with a puzzled expression.
Suddenly, Momoi joined Yuzu and pulled something else out of the bag. "OOOH! A jacket! No wonder it felt like something was missing when I looked at Arisu," Momoi handed the jacket to Arisu, who gracefully received it.
Arisu eagerly put on the new jacket and proudly displayed it to her clubmates.
"A new item has been equipped!" she proclaimed.
"Well, I'll wait for you at the fountain. There are still a few things Arisu needs before officially joining Millennium," Itsuki waved. "See you~!"
While Momoi and Arisu rummaged through the bags, Midori approached Yuzu and whispered.
"Yuzu-chan, that jacket has Yuuka's name on the inside," Midori pointed at Arisu. "Do you think Yuuka knows about Arisu and helped Itsuki?"
"Yeah, I don't think Itsuki-kun knows what's inside the bag. There's even new underwear in there. I doubt Itsuki-kun personally bought them," Yuzu whispered back. "Let's keep this secret from Momoi. Knowing Yuuka-chan, I think she's just too proud to admit that she helped us."
"Onee-chan would be angry if she found out," Midori agreed.
"You two, what are you whispering about behind my back?" Momoi called out. "Look! Itsuki-kun even gave us Arisu's dorm key! As expected of the vice presidents! He's really reliable!"
"Ah, we shouldn't keep Itsuki-kun waiting," Yuzu said. "Let's get ready!"
The girls prepared themselves for the busy day that lay ahead.
"All the students at Millennium... no, In Kivotos, have their personal weapons," Itsuki explained as the group walked towards the Millennium Club Complex III.
"That's why we need to get you a weapon, Arisu-chan," Midori added.
"There are a number of ways to get one, but if you want a quality weapon quickly here at Millennium..." Momoi continued, "Your best bet has got to be the Engineering Club."
"Uh... but are you sure we should go to them?" Yuzu, who walked slowly and hid herself behind Itsuki, asked. "They are famous for inventing weird things, you know."
"Oh, I remember that time they created a vacuum cleaner that can spout fire," Midori added.
"Oh, they have a dragon?" Arisu asked enthusiastically.
"No, they created a cleaner... what did they say?" Midori tried to remember, but her twins quickly helped.
"If the trash is burned, then there is nothing to clean, right?" Momoi said.
Itsuki nervously laughed, remembering that incident, because that damned vacuum cleaner was the one that burned his jacket sleeve.
They reached the Engineering Club's club room. Although calling it a 'club room' might be an understatement. The room took up half of the Club Complex III and looked more like a hangar than a room. As Itsuki and the GDC approached, a pair of students greeted them.
"Welcome, members of the GDC," a black-haired man with a black hoodie and red undershirt greeted them. "Itsuki has told us what you need, and we are ready to help."
"You made the right decision by coming here," the other person, a violet-haired girl, told them confidently. "Victory and defeat at Millennium are largely determined by the presence of superior technicians. And as you know, we are the best technicians in Kivotos."
"If only you directed that expertise to a normal product," Itsuki whispered under his breath.
"Hey! I heard that!" the black-haired teen complained.
"Anyway, this is Hiden Arata and Shiraishi Utaha, members of the Engineering Club," Momoi introduced the two. "And this is our newest proud club member, Arisu..."
"Tendo Arisu," Itsuki added.
"Over there, you can find all of our products," Utaha pointed towards one side of the hangar, and the girls quickly took off to see what the Engineering Club had.
Itsuki was about to join them, but Arata's hand stopped him.
"You just used that Driver, didn't you?" Arata asked.
"You remember our promise, I hope?" Utaha added.
"Yeah, yeah! You want to analyze it after I use it, right?" Itsuki sighed and took out his equipment. "Only as long as we are here, alright? I still need that."
Arata gratefully received them and went to another corner where his workbench was located. Meanwhile, Utaha stayed with Itsuki, who was about to join their fellow classmates.
They saw Arisu poking a giant white cannon-shaped device, clearly curious. While another member of the Engineering Club, Kotori, talked with her.
"Oh, do you like our greatest works?" Utaha called as they approached. "It took 70% of our budget, you know," she declared proudly.
Kotori joined in, "If you need an explanation, then I will provide it. No matter the time or place, Meister of the Engineer Club, Kotori, at your service."
"Oh hey, Kotori-chan! It's been a while," Midori greeted Kotori cheerfully.
"This is... of course! Our most ambitious project, the 'Space Battleship Railgun'!" Kotori declared proudly.
"Urgh..." Itsuki held his head, remembering something. "This is a continuation of that refrigerator, huh?"
"If I recall, you guys tried to make cryosleep possible and made a hibernation device... but ended up catching colds," Midori added.
"Don't call it a refrigerator, Vice President," Utaha complained. "It's not just cooling food, we send food to the future! With the wonder of food preservation!"
"It's still a refrigerator, though," Momoi added.
"Getting back on topic," Kotori continued, "Our next big project is creating a space battleship! The railgun is just the first step towards that. A weapon with live ammunition made for combat outside the atmosphere. It's clearly an unprecedented project in the history of Millennium!"
"However, throughout the ages, one thing has always dragged technicians down. We have great ideas! We have great passion! But the budget..." Kotori slumped as she said that. "We used up 70% of our second-half budget just to make this railgun, so you can imagine that making an actual space battleship will require thousands of times the amount... that is why..." Kotori looked at Itsuki and winked, trying to give him some kind of sign.
"Please remember that even if I manage to approve your budget, the Internal Audit will still bother you," Itsuki added.
"Keeh! Internal Audit again, huh!" Kotori sighed. "They came down on us when they realized we had made this railgun."
"So... why are you still making it, anyway?" Midori asked.
"That is a foolish question," Utaha declared. "Because beam cannons are the stuff of romance!"
"Anyway, the formal name for this device is: Sword of Light: Supernova!" Kotori declared proudly.
"Oh wow, another over-the-top name," Momoi laughed.
"I don't want to hear that from you," Itsuki gently tapped Momoi's head with his hand.
Then, the Game Development Club's members looked at Arisu, clearly interested in the cannons even more now.
"Sword of Light, huh!" Arisu touched the surface of the cannon.
"Arisu's eyes are sparkling!" Momoi looked touched.
"This is the first time we've seen her this excited," Midori added.
Then something unexpected happened. The black-haired girl carried the cannons with her arms and started dancing with them excitedly. The whole Engineering Club was now jaw-dropped in surprise. Looking at their reaction, Yuzu, who was hiding behind Itsuki's back, asked, "Uhm... why are you all so surprised?"
"That thing..." Kotori pointed, "It's supposed to weigh tons. It's too large and heavy to use as a personal firearm. But to carry and dance with it easily..."
Utaha nodded and then called, "Arisu, was it? Come here for a second."
The younger girl approached Utaha, still with the heavy cannon on her arm and smiling wide.
"Yes, Master blacksmith?" Arisu asked.
Utaha was surprised by her nickname but then nodded and continued, "Do you like that legendary weapon we forged?"
"Yes," Arisu nodded excitedly, "Is this perhaps the Sword of Hero?"
"It is indeed a sword for a hero," Utaha followed along, "However, you must prove your qualification as a hero," Utaha then snapped her fingers. "Kotori, Hibiki, prepare the defective robot we are about to destroy."
Following Utaha's words, the two disappeared and then came back a few minutes later with an activated robot following them.
"You, as a group, should destroy all
of them to prove that you are worthy," Utaha declared.
Arisu nodded, "Light! Heed my call!" and then accidentally discharged the beam, creating a big hole in the roof.
Everyone present was surprised by the hole in the sky. However, this shot also somehow made the robots more aggressive, and they began to attack.
"Momoi, Midori! Get ready for battle!" Itsuki called.
And thus, the Game Development Club was ready for battle.
The number of robots that the Engineering Club had provided was obscene. The twins pulled out their respective weapons and began shooting the closest ones. They could shoot in bursts, so defeating them in quick succession was simple. Itsuki, while using a handgun and only shooting three bullets at once at most, was slower compared to them, but his twin DEs, Hayate and Nagi, were modified to shoot with more power. This is why the robot he shot fell down with just one bullet. Meanwhile, Yuzu was a backliner who shot one at a time with her custom black H&K M320 Grenade Launcher. When the robots got too close or too numerous, she shot her grenade, causing a blast in a circular area, saving her three teammates from the robots that got too close.
Now, if Yuzu was slow, Arisu was even slower. While her railgun cannon was powerful, as demonstrated before, it needed time to recharge. So her new friends protected her on the frontline while Arisu charged.
"Target confirmed!" Arisu suddenly declared. "Output critical point surpassed." A holographic target sight appeared on Arisu's face. Itsuki instructed Yuzu, Midori, Momoi, and himself to quickly step back. It was only then that Arisu pulled the trigger. "FIRE!" And then a beam was discharged. She was pushed back a little bit, but any robot in her line of sight was decimated.
There were a few remaining robots, which Midori, Momoi, Itsuki, and Yuzu quickly finished off.
Utaha looked at Arisu and her friends with interest. She had known the group for a while now, but Arisu was an enigma. Utaha had set up all the analyzing equipment on Arisu at the behest of The Seminar. Something about her just wasn't right, and yet she was completely innocent.
"A grip strength that exceeds 1 ton and balance stable enough to not waver upon firing. In addition to its strength and output, a clean body without a single blemish on the skin... or should I say... chassis..." Utaha whispered. "In other words, the body was designed from the start with activity in a harsh environment and self-repair by nanomachines in mind. Without a doubt, she is a weapon. But you can hardly tell by how she normally behaves. Is that her true self or..."
Utaha didn't continue as the group came back. All the robots had been annihilated. The Engineering Club was amazed.
"Arisu, that 'Sword of Light' is now yours for good," Kotori said.
"Waa~ WAAA~!" Arisu exclaimed in happiness, dancing with her new weapon.
"Phew, I'm glad things worked out," Yuzu said from Itsuki's back.
"Hibiki," Utaha called, and another member, a girl with black hair, approached Utaha. "Make a shoulder strap and handle so it's easier for Arisu to carry around."
"Yes," Hibiki nodded. "It's amazing that you can wield it, Arisu. I will teach you a little more about that cannon. Maybe I should make the handle a bit stronger."
Arisu and Hibiki then walked to another workbench. At the same time, the only male member of the Engineering Club approached the group, bringing Itsuki's Desire Driver.
"Good job, Utaha," Arata smiled. "I heard from afar about that girl. Good job finding her a good weapon." Arata then approached Itsuki. "Thanks for the data, but I want to request something from you, if you don't mind."
Itsuki nodded, "Sure. That's the least I can do after you gave Arisu that weapon."
"Oh, no. That weapon is a separate matter," Utaha clarified. "We are happy to get a chance to get live combat data. Come by once in a while for maintenance, alright? But Arata has a different matter."
"Yes," Arata nodded. "I found another Rise Buckle a while ago. Unfortunately, I didn't get the Desire Driver."
"You can find more?" Momoi's interest was piqued.
"According to Sensei, there are many Desire Grand Prix artifacts scattered around Kivotos," Arata added. "But all I found was this." He showed them a small item shaped like a triangle with a claw. Arata then gave it to Itsuki. "I managed to modify it so I can gather even more data when you use them. With the newest storage technology, I managed to put 100 Terabytes on that small item so I can get as much data as possible. So, next time you transform, use them, okay?"
"Why are you obsessed with this belt, Arata-san?" Midori asked.
"Kamen Rider," Arata replied. "I've heard the story before. A person who transforms with a belt into an armored hero. I dreamed to be one. But getting the belt like Itsuki would be boring. So my goal was to make my own Driver, to transform into my own Kamen Rider."
"All of us, Engineering Club members, have a dream," Kotori added.
Arisu came back, now sporting a leather strap to carry her cannon. Her smile was apparent as she approached.
"Alright, I will do that for you," Itsuki nodded.
"Utaha-san, Kotori-san, Hibiki-san," Arisu suddenly spoke normally. "Thank you," And she bowed, showing her gratitude. "Hibiki-san taught me this is how we show our gratitude."
Itsuki smiled, "Good job, Arisu," he patted the shorter girl. "Now, shall we go to our next appointment?" he asked.
"Yes, let's go!" Arisu led the group.
It was then that Yuzu's legs finally gave up, and she fell to the ground. Midori and Momoi, worried, tried to drag the girl away. But Itsuki made a small sigh and then walked back. Today was going to be a long day.
In the end, Itsuki carried Yuzu back into the Game Development Club while leaving Midori and Momoi in charge of shopping for Arisu as well as taking her to her dorm room.
Itsuki put Yuzu on the nearest sofa and then sat near the red-haired girl.
"Itsuki-kun, I'm sorry," Yuzu replied. "I know I'm unreliable as a club president..."
"You don't have to worry about that," Itsuki said. "You did a good job persevering until the end and even supporting us in Arisu's test."
"I'm glad..." Yuzu replied weakly. "Thank you for protecting our club. Please keep doing that, Itsuki-kun."
"Well, there is one thing we need to do to keep the club going," Itsuki mentioned. "A backup plan, if you will."
"What is it?"
Yuzu asked.
Itsuki rummaged through his bag before giving Yuzu a document. On it was written, "Game Concept by Fuwa Itsuki."
Itsuki smiled at Yuzu, "Would you help me make a game?"
