The barrier came down, Amphibia ran down the street, some black rocks had pushed the next section of the street up. She leapt up grabbing the ledge and pulling herself up.
As Amphibia ran down the street, her helmet unmerged with her head for a moment. She frowned wider under her helmet as she saw that black rocks had split several homes in half and knew that once she got out of the Light World, those homes would collapse. "Just even more things I'm going to be blamed for." The helmet refused with her head.
She jumped again as more rocks had grow under the next section of the street, forcing it higher. Jumping off the street, she landed in the center of the carnival, to her left was a large ferris wheel and to her right a merry go round.
Amphibia ran past the ferris wheel when the Alpha Panther Pink Lord arrived.
It grabbed the ferris wheel, tearing it from its mormings and sending it rolling along the ground at the Kamen Rider.
Amphibia coated her boots in pure-white energy as she jumped and leapt around inside the ferris wheel before backflipping out. She landed on the ground and turned to face the Alpha Lord.
Only to find a blinking outline of it where the monster used to be.
Amphibia spun back around, watching as the wheel rolled down the street, causing who knows how much damage. She slumped. "Great, just one more thing I'm going to get blamed for!"
Pieces of the road that the wheel had torn up rose out of the ground and formed into barriers that kept Amphibia trapped in the current street.
Let the battle begin!
Wave one.
A Panther Pink Lord burst from the ground and lunged at Amphibia with its spear held in both hands. Using her right hand, Amphibia spun the Agito Driver's wheel four times.
[FOURTH CIRCLE!]
She swung the Hero Sword to the right, deflect the spear and stepped with its reach. The Grinder Sword shot out of the air, cutting a vertical line into the front of the Lord. Amphibia swung her sword upwards, sending the monster flying into the sky. The Lord recovered and hurled its spear down at the Kamen Rider. Amphibia called the Grinder Sword back to her, it spun, deflecting the spear. Only for the Lord to appear behind Amphibia in a burst of speed and slash her across the backplate with both claws.
Sparks bleed from the ten cuts in Amphibia's backplate as the Kamen Rider spun around and kicked the monster in the stomach, pure-white energy burst off her boot, hurling the Lord backwards. Amphibia sprinted after the Lord, got behind it and called the Grinder Sword to her right hand.
She swung both of her swords down, sparks sprayed as the Lord was smashed into the ground. It spun up, summoning its spear and used it to knock Amphibia's feet out from under her. She fell onto her back, dropping the Grinder Sword, as the Lord stood over her and stabbed down. Amphibia took the Heroic Ancient Core from her Agito Driver's slot and slammed it into the Hero Sword's finisher slot.
[AMPHIBIA FINISH!]
Gripping her sword in both hands, Amphibia stabbed upwards as she hit its trigger.
[THE HERO!]
"GRINDER HERO!" She thrust her sword up and it sliced through the spear before piercing into the Lord's stomach. The sword was coated by a pure-white energy gear that spun rapidly, doing even more damage, the Panther Pink Lord exploded.
Wave one ended!
Wave two begin!
A Crow Pink Lord appeared in the air as another Panther Pink Lord burst from the ground.
Suddenly, the Grinder Ancient Core floated out of the Hero Sword which then returned to normal, losing six of its slots. The driver regained its hip slots and the Core loaded itself into the left top slots, causing the left hip light to turn bright-orange.
"What the heck is going on?!" Amphibia looked at her belt in shock.
Big mistake.
The Crow Pink Lord fired a wall of feathers down at the Kamen Rider. The first few hit her, snapping her out of it and she rolled to the right, avoiding the rest of the feathers, only to be stabbed by the Panther Pink Lord, making her stagger backwards.
Amphibia's driver ejected the Shield Ancient Core. Her left hip light turned off and released a blast of bright yellow light that transformed her back into the Hero Circle.
Her armor was cracked and releasing sparks, even her lenses had cracks running through them. Amphibia drew a new Ancient Core.
It was identical to the others, only the logo on the wheel was a drop of dark-purple poison.
This is the Venom Ancient Core.
Amphibia ran her left thumb over the core's wheel.
[VENOM!]
She placed it into the right hip device's top slot.
[CORE SET!]
The right hip deceive's light turned dark-purple. Amphibia raised her right hand. "CIRCLE UP!" She threw it down, spinning her driver's ring.
[GO!]
The right hip devices released a spiral of dark-purple light that hid Amphibia from view, when it faded, she had transformed.
[VENOM HERO!]
Her cape had turned dark-purple. Engraved into her breastplate was a dark-purple snake that coiled into a circle, replacing the phoenix logo. A second sword appeared, this one was made of seven sections linked by a dark-purple cord. It had no guard and a dark-purple handle that was topped by a dark-gray cap.
She was now Kamen Rider Amphibia Venom Hero Circle, armed with the Hero Sword and the Venom Sword.
[AMPHIBIA, LIGHT!]
Amphibia twisted the Agito Driver's ring three times with her right hand.
[THIRD CIRCLE!]
The Crow Lord swung its wings down, firing a wave of feathers at the Kamen Rider. She coated the Venom Sword in dark-purple energy and slashed, firing a crescent of dark-purple poison. It washed over the feathers, melting all of them and continued on. The Lord folded its wings and fell to the ground. The Panther Lord closed in and slashed up with its spear, knocking the Venom Sword from Amphibia's right hand. It slashed down but the Kamen Rider blocked it with the Hero Sword held up to the right. She gripped in both hands as she struggled against the Lord before coating her sword in pure-white light.
The sword's already sharp edge turned razor sharp and sliced through the spear, leaving the head to fall behind Amphibia. She slashed down, cutting a pure-white line through the Lord's front. The Lord threw a punch, knocking her sword away, only to get a right hook across the face. Suddenly, Amphibia was forced back as several feathers hit the ground in front of her. Her boots shone with pure-white light as she ran back with a rain of feathers following her before she darted up the side of a building, jumped and spun around, back kicking the Crow Lord in the face. It fell, landing on the Panther Lord.
Amphibia landed on the roof of a building and spun the Hero Ancient Core's wheel with her right thumb and index finger.
[THE HERO!]
She was coated in bright-white energy as she jumped off the building and spun her driver's wheel. The wings on her circlet split into six as she fell through her logo that appeared under her.
[AMPHIBIA FINISH!]
The energy was pulled into both of her boots as she dropped down towards the two Lords, which were only just getting back to their feet. "POISONED HERO!" The energy formed into a giant snake that slithered around the Kamen Rider, biting into the Crow Lord as Amphibia's boots struck the Panther Lord, causing both of them to explode.
Wave two finished.
Wave three:
Two Panther Pink Lords burst out of the ground and threw their spears at Amphibia. She twisted her driver's ring five times.
[FIFTH CIRCLE!]
Amphibia rolled to the right, the spears pasted over her head as she grabbed the Venom Sword off the ground and swung it at the two Lords. The first leapt into the air, landing on the roof of a building and dodging the attack. But the second was slashed across the stomach by the blade. The Lord had no reaction as it held out its right hand and recalled its spear to its hand before lunging at Amphibia with a stab. She brought up the Hero Sword, using it to deflect the stab and slashed up, throwing the Lord into the sky.
Suddenly, the first Lord jumped off the roof and drop kicked her in the back. Amphibia spun around and threw a left hook at the monster, but it blocked with its left arm. Amphibia coated her arm in pure-white light, the strength boost broke through the monster's lousy defense and it flew to the opposite side of the street. The second Lord came down with its spear held in both hands and stabbed down. Amphibia swung her hands up, forming an arch of poison that the spear hit and melted against. Suddenly, the Lord flinched as the poison in its body took effect. Then it landed on the arch and took more damage.
Amphibia held out her left hand and summoned the Grinder Ancient Core. She used her left thumb to turn its wheel.
[GRINDER!]
Amphibia slammed it into her left hip's top slot.
[CORE SET!]
The slot's light turned bright-orange. "TWIN CIRCLE UP!" Amphibia spun her driver's ring.
[GO!]
The slot released a spiral of bright-orange light that hid the Kamen Rider from view, when it faded, she had transformed again.
[VENOM GRINDER HERO!]
Her cape was now dark-purple. Engraved into the center of her breastplate was four dark-orange gears. She was now armed with the Hero Sword, the Venom Sword and the Grinder Sword, the latter two floated over her shoulders.
Kamen Rider Amphibia had transformed into her Venom Grinder Hero Circle.
[AMPHIBIA, LIGHT!]
The first Lord came down with a stab from its spear. Amphibia spun her driver's wheel a single time.
[FIRST CIRCLE!]
The Grinder Sword came in and deflected the spear as Amphibia leapt into the air. She slashed up with the Hero Sword as she shot past the Lord, cutting a line through it. Then the Venom Sword spun, whipping a line through the monster's black. Amphibia came down with an overhead slash that the monster dodged by rolling to the right. Only for it to be flashed across the neck by the Grinder Sword. The monster hurled its spear at the Kamen Rider, hitting her in the right shoulder.
The two Lords gathered together as the first Lord summoned its spear back to its grip. Both were coated in bright-pink light that was pulled into the tip of their spears. The first Lord hurled its spear at Amphibia, while the second Lord slashed its spear up, firing a vertical crescent of bright-pink light.
Amphibia spun the Hero Ancient Core's wheel with her left hand.
[THE HERO!]
She used her left thumb to spin the Agito Driver's ring.
[AMPHIBIA FINISH!]
She held up her right hand and the Driver gave off bright-silver sparks that formed into a spinning cog above her palm. Coating her left hand in bright-purple venom the Kamen Rider drew a circle that snapped into a barrier, deflecting the spear and dispelling the crescent. "GRINDER POISON THROW!" Amphibia hurled the gear and it sliced both Lords in half, causing them to explode.
Battle ended!
To be continued!
