Part 1
Present Time
Back in Azazel's Laboratory, somewhere in the med bay, all of the people who noticed the time window would suddenly close shut, leaving no single trace of its existence.
"Oh, the window just closed," Tabane Shinonono sported a curious expression.
But that was not all that was happening.
"Eh...?" Rio Sonogami muttered with a surprised expression. Mio Takamiya would also notice as well.
She noticed the sparkling bright lights engulfing her. Her clothes would now transform into something different. A familiar kind. The dress was of a lavish pinkish-red with a golden emblem in the center and also contains a large robe that reaches her feet. Her long plum hair now has her iconic red bow on top of her head.
"...Is this?" Chisato Hasegawa sported a surprised expression while everyone else would have various expressions of awe and curiosity.
Rio would feel something odd. She felt her familiar powers coming back, though it felt incomplete.
"Her powers have returned...somewhat incomplete, but it is nevertheless the case," Natsuki Minamiya noted with her narrowing eyesight, feeling the subtle signature within Rio.
"This is rather unprecedented," Azazel muttered with a concerned expression, putting his hand to his chin and making a pondering look. "I wonder...if Rio-chan can get her powers back, what of the rest of the Spirits..."
"Azazel-sensei," Tsubaki Shinra made a conflicted expression, looking at Azazel. "If the Spirits can regain their powers again, they may be in more danger than we thought. They would all the more easily be noticeable by the other mythologies and powers of this world. If that happens, some may potentially be deemed the Spirits to be a potential threat that needs to be taken care of, by any means necessary, one that could give plenty of hard choices for Itsuka-sama to contend with."
"You're unfortunately right about that," Azazel muttered with a worried tone. Knowing how supernatural politics work, if something is a threat to the stability of the world, there would be some individuals who would more or less seek to get rid of the said threat, even if the methods themselves are questionable at best and downright unethical at worst. Looks like they do need to worry about the Spirits who may possibly regain their powers if they come here. Azazel would look at Tabane with a serious expression. "Tabane, you're with me, we're gonna try and close the breaches in the sky and put a stop to the chaos."
"Okey dokey!~" Tabane would smile with a comedic salute.
"Chisato-chan, you handle Takamiya-chan's condition," Azazel ordered.
"Alright, you can count on me," Chisato nodded.
"Natsuki," Azazel looks to his wife. "Take care of the kids while I get to work."
"Of course, dear," Natsuki nodded.
And thus, Azazel - Codename: Avenging Eagle would begin to get to work on trying to seal the breaches.
Part 2
Scene 1—Kuuga, Agito
HEY! ALL RIDERS!
George Kurai—Kamen Rider Zi-O would summon most of the main successors Kamen Riders, aiding him and the three other main Kamen Riders who are doing battle from their own sides of the city. The time was nigh, the time that Professor Paradox at least predicted. The rest of the Kamen Riders would now make themselves ready and transform.
And Miku Izayoi, the Diva of Tenguu City, would now begin to pick up where she left off, the song that she would sing would begin to carry a more faster-paced tone that fits the action that is happening on the ground. The song was the same, but the tone feels different, like it inspires more hope as the heroes with a certain resolve come at last to the battle in order to fight.
On a certain Earth, on DCMK Earth-Prime, somewhere in Nerima Ward, even as the mysterious phenomena of the dark pinkish cracks in the sky and snowflakes-like particles falling to the ground continues, there were two individuals who would see the summoning time portal that was ticking like a clock, and opening up to reveal the current battle between the unknown angel and demon factions.
One was a young man in his twenties, of about average and tall height, a handsome face with a strong athletic body. He had black hair tied to his trademark pigtail. His clothing was his personal favored Chinese-style, in the form of a long-sleeved shirt with red colors and black pants, along with slip-on shoes.
Ranma Saotome.
Another was a young man in his twenties, a handsome man with black hair, a yellow and black speckled bandana around his head, a yellow-long sleeve tunic with a pale yellow collar and folded sleeves, black trousers with yellow leg bands around the ankles, and a black sash-like belt and black Tai Chi shoes, along with pale yellow socks.
Ryoga Hibiki.
Mindful of Professor Paradox's warning from earlier, and the portal that they both see, both Ranma and Ryoga would look at each other. There was no need for words. They know what they have to do.
Ranma would begin to position his hands downwards to his waist, revealing and materializing his Sonic Wave Transformation Belt Arcle. It was an ancient transformation belt that had a stone in the center called the Amadam, one that was now red in color, the source of his power and capable of extending his lifespan. Then, he positioned his left fist above the boxy unit of the belt, and his right hand raised to the front, on the left side of his sight; both ring and pinky fingers folded while the thumb, pointer, and middle fingers are raised. He would arch the hand to his right side before immediately pushing his left fist.
"Henshin!"
Then both of his hands were raised downwards as he begins to transform.
He was now materializing a red-colored armor with a black suit underneath. There was red armor that simulated the chest with a golden collar with ancient letters, red gloves that covered his forearms, and white round shoulder straps, at the waist he has an arched belt with ancient writings while a sphere inside, a pair of gold stalk with a red gem, a gold bracelet on the legs with small red gems and finally a black helmet with large red eyes with a large golden horn on the helmet, which extended longer on its head, the silver mouthpiece it has the shape of strata, very similar to an insect.
He would begin to bring his right hand forward once more, maintaining a martial arts pose.
He has now transformed into Kamen Rider Kuuga.
Ryoga would begin to raise his left hand down towards the left open palm of his hand that was stationed to his waist. The Altering, the mysterious esoteric belt, would begin to materialize around his waist, carrying a golden light. Then in a free-flow style, send his right hand forward before immediately putting it near his right elbow and eventually moving it forward once again.
"Henshin!"
And then, he would begin to bring both of his hands forward in a cross position before he brought them down to the waistline, pressing the large buttons and slamming his hands down on them, causing the belt buckle to glow brightly with a golden flash as it let out a whirring sound.
An armor would materialize around him. On his legs, he sported golden circular knee pads with silver accents and golden bands just above the ankles. He also sported gold bands wrapped around his forearms. Above the upper part of the body, there was a thoracic armor with a golden front that simulated the pectorals and an abdomen with a black rectangular stone in the center of the chest. Its sides were silver while the rest of the armor was black steel. A golden collar wrapped around the neck and connected to the black stone by a golden line. Over the shoulders, there were black shoulder straps with silver finishings that ran around the center to indicate both sides. Above the head was a mostly black helmet with large red lenses that served as eyes. Above the mouth was a layered silver mouthpiece, resembling an insect. The edges of the oral dish were golden and connected between the eyes, one that rose between the "eyes" and widened in a series of horns that stood out on the forehead, and on the forehead, there was a small blue gem.
He would begin to bring his right hand forward once more, followed by the temporary encirclement of his left hand before putting it near his lower chest on the left, maintaining a martial arts pose.
He has now transformed into Kamen Rider Agito.
And with a firm resolve, both would move quickly step into the portal, travelling to the universe of Shidou Itsuka's universe, RX Earth-789.
They entered the fray and with quick speed and agility on their side, they would begin to hop through several locations and perform simple punches and kicks that dislodge and main the opponents of their choosing, or send them crashing down to the pavement. As for the demonic beasts of various shapes, they screamed at the mere touch of Agito's fists in relation to his origin and power of divinity. The only thing that the demons would last recall would be their incineration into ashes due to the holy energy that was ignited from Agito's punches and kicks.
Kuuga was no slouch either. Never once needing to make use of his other forms, he would make short work of the angelic armored figures that were trying unsuccessfully to gun him down, to no avail as he was just too fast for them.
Scene 2—Ryuki
Somewhere back in RX Earth-789, in the districts of Tenguu City, Keitaro Urashima—Kamen Rider Ryuki would be seen on the ground, raising his Dragsaber and charging forward in a solemn but focused fashion. As he walked and takes a few steps, he dodges an incoming axe from a grotesque demonic creature with cut-off wings and darker shade of blue skin, and would slice the demon in half. He would begin to take a side step and slice another demon. And another. And another. And another. And another.
All of them fell by Ryuki's hand.
STRIKE VENT
Then, through one of his Advent Cards, he would summon his Dragclaw gauntlet that attaches to his right hand and begins to raise it upwards as it sprouted multiple bursts of flames that managed to tag the incoming IS BRE Drones and the winged angels and demons that were in the skies, creating a burst of explosions that send the enemy forces flying.
Then, dematerializing Dragclaw and materializing Dragsaber, he would use the latter to easily block incoming fire from the angelic armored beings who were on the ground who were aiming their halberds that brought golden-yellow energy, deadly for the average mortal. As he parried the attacks, he would send the energy bursts back to the angelic troops, decimating the lot of them.
Issei and Vali are also doing pretty well on their own, as they raise both of their hands to fire several Dragon Shots, ones of pure crimson and white, bright as light, and create dozens of explosions in the sky, taking many of the enemies out.
"Oh, come on, more of them!" Issei exclaims in exasperation.
Why?
Because there were more angelic troops appearing from the cracks and now both of the Dragon Emperors were shielding themselves with ease from the beams of golden yellow caliber fire.
And somewhere on top of a three-story building, Copy Master was causally reflecting back the caliber fire from the angels with his white-colored blade. He would use his weapon to reflect back the golden beams of light and pick off the angelic creatures. He would also perform a twist and would slash the demonic creature that was right behind him that would try to use his axe on him, only for him to fall as he was cut down in half.
"Copy Master."
Copy Master would hear Summoner's voice within his mind.
"Time to pull out. You know the reasons why."
"...Very well," Copy Master acceded. And thus, he would begin to teleport to an unknown location, leaving behind Ryuki and the Dragon Emperors.
Scene 3—Faiz
HEY! ALL RIDERS!
Back on DCMK Earth-Prime, there was Hachiman Hikigaya, with an average build and height, with medium-short black hair with an ahoge. His eyes were those of a dead fish, something of a prominent feature that he is recognized by others. He was wearing a black business suit; the jacket, pants, underwear, ties, socks, and leather shoes are all black, while the dress shirts are white.
He was accompanied by three people, sporting their own expressions of concern, and they were somewhere outside a Pizza Hut restaurant in Chiba.
The first was a young woman with a beautiful face and long flaxen hair that has bangs hanging on the left side and light brown honey eyes. Currently, she was wearing a long sleeve grey-white turtleneck and dark green skirt, along with brown shoes.
Iroha Isshiki, Hachiman's cute kouhai and cute girlfriend.
And then there were the other two people who are also a couple.
There was a young man wearing the same black suit as Hachiman. He was a young man with black eyes and black hair with a blue tint. His hair reaches down to his nape and his fringes are swept aside on both sides of his face, with one lock of hair left hanging by the middle of his forehead.
Kyousuke Kousaka, Hachiman's partner in the field and also a fellow Kamen Rider.
Accompanying him was his girlfriend, Ayase Aragaki, a young woman with a beautiful face, long dark hair, and violet eyes. A lock of hair hangs from each side of her face and her fringes are separated in the middle, except for a small fringe that hangs from the middle. She is wearing a tan shirt, blue jeans, and black shoes.
"Kousaka," Hachiman looks at Kyousuke. "Stay here, take care of the girls, and hold the fort. Duty calls."
"Right," Kyousuke nodded.
"Senpai..." Iroha muttered, sporting a worried look, making Hachiman turn to her. "Be safe..."
Hachiman nodded silently. And then, looking at the portal, he would begin to grab something from his pocket. The Mobile Phone-type Multi-device SB-555P Faiz Phone. He would begin to open the flip phone and press 5-5-5 and press the ENTER button, with a voice coming out from the phone.
STANDING BY
The Transformation Belt SB-555B Faiz Driver would begin to materialize around his waist. He would begin to close his phone, and as his right-hand touches the phone and sways it to the side, he raises it to the air and exclaims.
"Henshin!"
And then, he placed it on the center of the belt.
COMPLETE
And now, Hachiman was surrounded by red neon-colored lines which glowed luminously for a while, passing through his entire body from head to feet, before eventually dimming, revealing a black bodysuit with red lines running down the arms and legs. The armor of the bust was silver and rounded with multiple red lines that crossed it to connect to the belt. The waist belt also has an upside-down phone with a "Phi" symbol on it. The gloves had metal fingertips with bands on the wrists and elbows. Then a black helmet with large yellow eyes and a pair of antennas that divided the eyes to make it look like a "Phi" symbol on the face. On the helmet was a small silver mouthpiece with tooth-like designs. On the left leg, from the knee down, there was a metal brace. The boots were more or less with silver protection and with red lines connected to the belt.
He has now transformed into Kamen Rider Faiz.
With a flick of the wrist, he begins to charge toward the clock-like portal and engage the enemies there. As his feet begin to lift themselves off the ground, making him fly, he would fire multiple repulsor beams that managed to pick off many of the opponents, angelic and demonic. He swiftly dodges the yellowish beams of light that came from the weapons of the angels and reflects them back on them, taking them out of the equation. Materializing a lightsaber-like weapon on his right hand, one that had a red hum and hue, he would begin to fly and cut down several bat-like demons along the way.
Scene 4—Blade
HEY! ALL RIDERS!
Back on DCMK Earth-Prime, there was Kaoru Hanabishi, a young, handsome man in his 20s, with pale skin, brown hair, and brown eyes. He was wearing a green shirt, brown pants, and brown shoes. He would see the clock-like portal that was depicting the angelic and demonic hordes that were causing chaos in another universe.
Kaoru would turn to a young woman who was a few meters away, showing a concerned expression on her face. Aoi Sakuraba, his beloved fiancee, a young woman with short, purplish-blue hair that has two hair strands curved under her big, blue eyes. She is wearing an indigo kimono that hides her well-endowed body, a pair of white socks, and red, zouri-type sandals.
"Kaoru-sama..." Aoi muttered in worry.
"Aoi, wait for me alright? I need to go and help my fellow Riders," Kaoru, while showing a soft expression, would explain the reason why he needs to take leave.
"Hmm," Aoi nodded in understand, sporting a smile that is a mixture of confidence and worry. "I understand, Kaoru-sama. But please be careful."
"Always," Kaoru nodded.
And then, looking straight at the portal, he would grab something from his pocket. It was a silver buckle called the Transformation Belt Blay Buckle and there was a red card called a Rouse Card that he could use to slip inside the buckle. Once he inserted the card inside, he would place the buckle on the center of his waist. Automatically, red cards flew out from one slot around their waist and into the other end of the buckle. The belt would begin to chime and hum on stand-by mode.
He would begin to raise his right hand slowly, with his right index finger open and the rest of his fingers beside the thumb slightly closed, forming a check gesture. And then, he would raise his right hand forward.
"Henshin!"
Next, he would begin to twist his arms like a circle, putting the left hand forward as it does a check gesture while putting the right hand down as he places it on the handle of the buckle, pulling the switch sideways as the central part of the buckle would rotate, revealing a golden spade design attached to a red rectangular surface in exchange.
TURN UP!
And then instantly, a blue forcefield was seen to emerge from the buckle. The forcefield had the image of a Hercules Beetle. Automatically, the forcefield would head back to him and engulf him, gaining his respective default armor.
The armor that he wore consisted of a pure blue bodysuit. Covering the upper part of the body is a silver-colored torso-shaped armor in the center, with a spade dress in the center while the shoulder straps were flat with golden decorations on the arms and spade on the upper part. Gold bands were wrapped around his wrists and crossed metal strips were on the boots. Around his waist, the buckle remained unchanged with a spade symbol, on the side of the belt he has a sword with a blade as long as his arm and what appeared to be a kind of container built in front of the handle. In the end, his helmet was blue with a silver face and a single horn rising, emulating a rhinoceros beetle in the shape of the spade symbol.
He has now transformed into Kamen Rider Blade.
Grabbing his Rousing Sword Blay Rouzer, he would begin to run towards the clock-like portal and enter through the battle-embittered streets of Tenguu City.
SABER! ARCHER! MACH!
And using a combination of at least two Rouzer Cards that depicted the powers of a Servant and another Rouzer Card channeling a being called the Undead, inserting these cards into the scanner of his sword, Blade would suddenly enter into a kind of speed invisible to the naked eye. Multiple angels and demons did not see it coming as they were sliced in mere halves and only multiple sparks of the attacks remained.
Scene 5—Hibiki
HEY! ALL RIDERS!
Back on DCMK Earth-Prime, somewhere in the rural town of Noihara, Yuto Amakawa, a young man with an average body build, light brown eyes, and short brown hair with several bangs hanging over his forehead. He was wearing a dark brown jacket, a white undershirt with a black line on the upper corner and sleeve, dark grey pants, and blue sneakers. He is also wearing a red omamori underneath his shirt, something that had been given to him by his grandmother.
He was seeing a clock-like portal that lead to Tenguu City, one where he would see angels and demons do battle.
"Young master?"
"Yuu-chan?"
He looks back to find two young women who were sporting their own expressions of concern.
The first was a beautiful woman with long black ponytail hair being held by a pink bow, with a blue tint that extends all the way down to her hips, with several bangs hanging over her forehead and side bangs that frame her face, along with violet eyes. She was wearing a pink kimono and sandals.
Himari Noihara, Yuto's family guardian.
The second was a beautiful woman with long, straight silver hair that runs all the way down to her hips with several bangs framing her forehead and a brighter shade of violet eyes. On her forehead is a white, crescent moon-shaped mark turned a full 90 degrees clockwise. She is wearing a gothic lolita attire, with black and grey colors, which are usually accented with a headband on her hair with ribbons on the side. For footwear, she wears a pair of calf-high boots over black, thigh-high stockings.
Kuesu Jinguji, Yuto's fiancée and lover.
Yuto would look at the two women. "You two, I'll take my leave, for now, my friends need me. And I mean that both of you stay here for now. Remember what Paradox-sensei said in his last visit to us."
While the women were hesitating, nevertheless,
"...Alright, young master," Hmari sported a saddened expression.
Kuesu in the meantime would begin to walk towards Yuto and kiss him passionately, embracing him, with Yuto responding in kind, making Himari blush a bit in comedic outrage. As they let go, Kuesu would show the concerned expression of a lover, touching his face. "Be well, Yuu-chan."
Yuto would nod silently. Then, he would step a few meters away from his lover's position, and would begin to use his Henshin Onsa Onkaku, a fork-like transformation device. He would tap it on his wrist. Once it did, the tuning fork would ring and emit a sound wave. And he would place the fork above his forehead and a sound wave engulfs upon him, followed by purple flames that covered his entire body.
"Henshin!"
And then, he would raise his right arm to disperse the flames, revealing an armor.
A purple suit with red gloves combined with the suit. Silver straps decorated his chest, gloves, and boots while a silver belt was wrapped around the waist with the discs and the tuning fork hanging on his sides and also with the center with three signs similar to those of a tomoe. On the back were what appeared to be two taiko sticks called the Ongekibou Rekka. In the end, covering the head there was a purple helmet with a purple opaque visor lined with red marks, silver horns, and, on the forehead, the same Oni gold head.
He has now transformed into Kamen Rider Hibiki.
Hibiki (響)
And with no hesitation, he would begin to charge through the clock portal. Getting his Ongekibou Rekka that would now sport purplish flames, he would begin to play them on the ground and provide a kind of shockwave attack that would vaporize multiple numbers of the demonic hordes that were present on the city streets.
Hibiki would turn around and block the axe of a three-story building. As the axe hit the sticks, the axe would evaporate from the demon's hands and the shockwave made the latter fall to the asphalt floor. And then, Hibiki would hop into the chest of the demon and make use of the Ongekiko Kaentsuzumi, a circular device that he can use for his finisher attacks, putting it on the chest of the demon that would form a large circular drum and thus would begin to play his sticks.
"Ongeki Da: Kaen Renda no Kata!" he exclaimed, raising his sticks.
He would begin to pound his sticks against the large drum with efficient speed, the soundwaves emitting off of the drum were something that the demon was feeling, much to his pain. And the soundwaves would have the subtle effect of wiping out multiple demonic hounds that would try to rush against Hibiki and stop the attack. As the demon was trying to move its body, to get Hibiki off of him, it was too late. The tall demon would glow red and then explode into a million pieces, leaving only ashes and the standing Kamen Rider that would put the fear of God in the hearts of the demonic hordes, and also among some of the angelic troops in the sky who bore witness to this phenomenon.
Scene 6—Kabuto
Shinji Ikari—Kamen Rider Kabuto would begin to use the Clock Up function to move faster, invisible to the naked eye, as he would slice through multiple combatants, whether they were the angelic and demonic factions seen in all directions or the Blue Ribbon Empire's IS Drones that were all shooting at everything in sight.
As he tags everything in sight, from one street to the next, Shinji's thoughts would turn grim as he noted how his old and personal enemy, Kamen Rider Savitar, had fled the scene. He immediately figured that he, along with Copy Master and Ares Mars, would be called for a tactical retreat for the time being because, with the way things are, it wouldn't be long until the higher powers of this universe would step in due to the chaos. Though, Shinji also figured that things may not get to that point as Azazel would seal the breaches in the sky. But he hopes that Azazel does that quickly.
And likened to a twister, he would twist his entire body as his Kabuto Kunaigun, now in axe mode, would begin to slash multiple numbers of the demonic hordes and immediately switch to gun mode, shooting down the three-floor tall demons with their axes into precise weak points via the head and the heart and other parts of the body, sending them crashing through the pavement.
And then, Kabuto can hear something from the radio chatter of his comm-link.
"General Tendou, this is Marshall Commander Fly, the Rangers are on the way, standing by."
Kabuto would turn around and would see a familiar and relieving sight. The cavalry has arrived. There were multiple armed men teleporting so suddenly from precise calculated positions. Their armor was colored in desert camouflage, with T-shaped grey visors with Y-shaped downward mouths. They were carrying MA5D Individual Combat Weapon System modified rifles, with air-cooled, gas-operated, magazine-fed, fully automatic bullpup rifles that fire standard and esoteric ammunition.
Blue energy rounds were fired and resounded throughout the city. Kabuto would now see multiple numbers of demons and angels being picked off, even the IS Drones never standing much of a chance.
The STARS 667th Ranger Regiment Clone Troopers have now entered the battle to contain the situation, all under the official orders of Azazel - Avenging Eagle and Natsuki Minamiya - Snake Bite. Many Ranger Clones were seen on the ground. Some were seen with IS Units, using their laser swords to slash through multiple numbers of the BRE's drones.
Kabuto smiled. The tide was now beginning to turn.
"Clock Up," he muttered, slamming the side of his belt.
CLOCK UP!
Kabuto would suddenly disappear, already too fast for most to see.
Scene 7—Den-O
Somewhere in Tenguu City, much to the shock of the angelic and demonic factions, there was the presence of the DenLiner, a bullet train that has automatic tracks seen to form downward, as if driving through it, surprising and taking down multiple numbers of the angelic and demonic factions, along with the Blue Ribbon Empire's IS Drones. As it enters battle mode, it fires multiple various types of projectiles such as lasers, rockets, bombs, and others, taking more enemies down.
And as the DenLiner makes a landing on an abandoned highway, there was a person that would exit immediately from the DenLiner as it flies away to another destination of the city. The person who stepped out was Mahiro Yasaka, a young man with medium-length brown hair and gray-blueish eyes, wearing a blue polo jacket, a white shirt with black lines, light beige pants, and white sneakers with red lines. He has the Transformation Belt Den-O Belt on his waist, a belt that was silver with black lining, with red, blue, yellow, and purple buttons on the left side, and carrying a black box pass in his right hand called the Rider Pass.
The demonic soldiers with horns, carrying axes, all see Mahiro. The latter would press the red button, playing the electric futuristic note.
"Henshin!"
He would swipe his Rider Pass on the center of the belt which was the SetTouch in the Terminal Buckle.
"SWORD FORM!"
A red pixel would come out from the belt as it forms around Mahiro. Now there was a black body with a plate on the chest that is silver and red, with silver parts higher, with a silver line in the center that looks like train tracks. The red straps and silver edges around his forearms were silver-white gloves with some parts tied to the black suit, and around his legs armored silver boots with a piece of red armor on his thighs. In the end, covering the head there is a helmet that has a gold track line with a huge red lens that looks like a pair of red peaches, divided in half in the middle that looks like the eyes.
He has now transformed into Kamen Rider Den-O.
And then, Den-O would begin to make a pose, raising his thumb, pointing to himself, before making another pose, with one hand raised north while the other hand was raised west.
"Ore sanjou!"
The demonic troops could only look at this with a state of confusion, looking at each other. As quickly as the confusion dies down, they would begin to growl, raise their axes and charge. Using his Combination Armament DenGasher - Sword Mode, he would begin to make use of its blade to slash through multiple numbers of the demonic troops.
As the first demon tries to aim his axe at him, Den-O dodges and slashes from the waist, moving to the side. When the second demon tries to aim for the waist, Den-O would block it by twisting his blade to that direction. and using the more sharper edge of the blade, breaking the axe and aiming for the demon's head, decapitating it. A third demon would try to aim for the neck, but was also parried and cut down in half. A fourth and fifth demon tried to attack as they aim their axes on him, but Den-O simply sideswipes them, cutting them down.
It would make the rest of the demons stop from their tracks as they noted just how easily Den-O manages to defeat them. And they would suddenly get surprised when the Ranger Clones suddenly showed up from both sides of Den-O via teleport, aiming their weapons and opening fire on the demonic horde, picking them all apart.
Now was the time to take the highway. And Den-O would begin to raise his sword and make a proper stance, one that was emitting red-colored energy from the tip, and would sway his sword, sending the wave down on the demonic creatures that littered the highway, cutting them all down.
Scene 8—Kiva
Back at DCMK Universe-Prime, Tsukune Aono, a very handsome young man, tall in height, with black hair, brown eyes, and a relatively athletic and slender physique, wearing a green button-up shirt, a white T-shirt, a black belt, brown cargo pants, and white sneakers, would see from the clock-like portal and notice the battle that was happening.
Even as he sees the STARS 667th Ranger Regiment Clone Troopers that were scoured throughout the area and firing on the enemy angels, demons, and IS Drones, there were others on the field.
He would see Akeno Himejima, making use of her tremendous lightning abilities. Her movements were like a dance seen by those among the shrine maidens, as she would hop from place to place and release electrifying thunder that would hit the enemies point blank. There were Irina Shidou and Xenovia Quarta, angels who hovered the skies and clashed blades with the enemy angels and demons. No matter how skilled the angels and demons were, they all fell to the pavement, with the IS Ranger Clones providing cover fire for them. He would also see Yuuto Kiba, using Projection Magecraft, summoning multiple swords and other sharp objects that were sprouting on the ground, tagging multiple demonic creatures. He would see Koneko Toujou performing multiple dodges and conjuring bluish flames that she scattered all throughout the area, targeting multiple BRE IS Drones that were opening fire on her.
"Ikuzo, Kivat," Tsukune spoke with narrowed eyes.
"Yoshaa! Kivatte ikuze!" Suddenly a gold and black mechanical bat called Kivat suddenly came in flapping speed around Tsukune's head as he touches down towards the latter's hand. "Bite!" Kivat announced, biting Tsukune's hand, allowing stained glass tribal markings to appear on the skin.
Ghostly chains magically appeared around Tsukune's waist and wrapped around it before melting and becoming a blood-red belt called the Transformation Belt Kivat Belt. The belt had slots holding ornate whistles on the sides, 6 in total. He then thrust Kivat forward, shouting.
"Henshin!"
Before attaching Kivat to a perch in the front of the belt, leaving him hanging upside down. Ge strode forward and was instantly covered in quicksilver that morphed and then shattered to reveal his new form.
He was clad in a full black bodysuit. The torso armor looked like a silver vest with a high collar and a blood-red chestplate that mimicked muscles. His shoulder armor resembled folded bat wings that were held to the armor by thin chains. He wore red armored gloves and his wrists sported silver bracelets. His right leg was covered with a silver iron boot that reached his knee and was wrapped tightly with chains, as if to hold something back. The left leg was unarmored save for a silver bracelet around the ankle. His head was covered with a black helmet with a visor shaped like a pair of yellow bat wings edged in red. In between the top points of the wings was a red ornament resembling a bat's head. The mouthguard was silver and framed by black fangs.
He has now transformed into Kamen Rider Kiva.
And so, dashing straight to the portal, with bullet time speed, he unleashes several changes from his feet and slams multiple demonic creatures that were on the road. Everyone would notice the arrival of the Kamen Rider.
Kiva would begin to dodge the two axes that were hurled at him by two demons with horns, about six or seven foot tall, and clawed them down with his hands, aiming for their torsos. One demonic hound tried to tag him, only for chains to erupt from his legs and sliced the demonic hound in half with his chains.
And as multiple angels tried to tag him, they were suddenly kicked away to several walls, knocking them down. Kiva noted the attack. from his visor, he can see who did it. And the one who did it was making himself visible.
It was an effeminate-looking male with platinum blond hair and pinkish-violet eyes. His hair is styled in a short bob cut with several small fringes over his forehead and he has pointed ears. He was also wearing the Kuoh Academy school uniform for males.
Kiva would recognize the boy as Gasper Vladi. The aforementioned boy could only turn back to Kiva and make a smile on his face. Kiva nodded in thanks.
Scene 9—Decade, Zi-O
As the time window depicting Shidou and his allies had closed, George Kurai—Kamen Rider Zi-O, along with Rinne Sonogami and Sona Sitri, would take note of an Aurora Curtain that would suddenly come forth just near the side.
"Oh?~" Summoner looked amused more than anything.
Someone would be stepping out of the curtain, revealing a young man with straight brown hair that reaches down to his neck and narrowing, serious amber-brown eyes worn over by a pair of glasses. He wore a red collared shirt, a black formal suit and pants, and polished black shoes. Souta Mizushino has stepped into the fray of the battle. And now, he has the NeoDecadriver strapped to his waist. He raises his Rider Card, seen from his right hand, raises straight forward.
"Henshin!"
He flipped the card and inserted the slot into his belt, with the barcode symbol that could be seen through the glass in the center, and closed it back, a hologram manifesting in front of the belt displaying the name and announcing it.
KAMEN RIDE: DECADE
And now, eighteen shadowy translucent figures appeared around him, beginning to converge on him, a full-bodied armor materializing on him. The armor had an 'X' shaped black line with thick white outlines along with the right shoulder pad to the chest piece. The suit itself was a bit bulky and was black and grey along with some white on its inner legs and arms, except for the green visors. Several cards came out of the belt which was sent to the pouncing wolves and managed to knock them back violently, crashing into any nearby automobiles scattered throughout the abandoned road. The cards would begin to fly back to his head, attaching themselves to the helmet and forming its horns. A yellow gem-like effect glowed for a second before it would eventually paint the armor through a magenta-like color between the horns on his head, shoulder pads, outer legs, arms, and chest of the suit.
He has now transformed into Kamen Rider Decade.
Rinne, when she noticed Decade's transformation, would feel a very subtle but powerful presence. The aura felt like a massive wave, contained in a container. Similar to Zi-O, he was powerful in his own right.
With countless IS Drones in the sky that would try to open fire on Decade and on Zi-O, along with Rinne and Sona, suddenly, multiple numbers of enemy drones would explode. Green lights were seen in the skies. Rinne and Sona would look up above and see multiple numbers of advanced gunships, the Hyper Space-Time Low Altitude Assault Transport (HST-LAAT), engineering masterpieces, white in color, with red markings from front to back, along with blue markings aligned to the sides of the gunship. There was a symbol etched on the sides, white and blue, a world tree type of motif that symbolizes peace and wisdom. As some gunships came down, there were men coming out. The 667th Ranger Regiment Clone Troopers. Armed with advanced rifles and carbines from their armored gloves. As some gunships came down, they would all transform into gigantic mechs, as tall as buildings, entering Gundam Mode, white, blue, and red in color, carrying their rifles and open-fired green-colored lights that would burst open multiple numbers of IS Drones and some were even firing at the BRE's warship that was just hovering in the skies, trying to penetrate its hardened shields.
The clones all gathered, surrounding Summoner, recognizing her as an enemy that they shouldn't leave out of their sight.
"We came as soon as we can, ma'am," one of the clones responded to Sona. The clone recognized the latter and addressed her with respect. "The rest of our vod are now helping the rest of the Kamen Riders to contain the situation that has been happening throughout the city. According to Eagle, the cracks are estimated to close in over a few minutes, seconds if preferable."
"Thank you for the report, trooper," Sona nodded before she turns towards Summoner who was just smiling ominously, like she wasn't surprised one bit.
"...Hmm~" Summoner looks with her flashing golden bluish eyes, switching back from the crimson wicked hue. She was twirling her fingers that were holding her staff. She appeared to be waiting for something.
...And she knew what was coming.
There was a magic circle that opened up. The magic circle had the clan symbol of Leviathan (consisting of a capital "K" that had a snake-like line enveloping it) was seen, along with two overlaid equilateral triangles that form a six-pointed star, all in a hue of pink light. A woman came out from the circle. Her face was youthful and beautiful, with bright pinkish eyes, less late teens and more early twenties, with twin-tailed black hair covered with a pink hat, wearing a pink elegant dress fit for a noble of her rank, along with armaments from both of her arms and legs. From her arms and legs, there was the appearance of dark pink metal armor that provides coverings for them. She carries a staff that has a golden star in its encircled center. The color of the stick was dark pink and it had two dove-like wings attached to the circular center.
Who was this woman?
What people often tend to forget due to her present-day personality was that there was a time when she was not so innocent, there was a time when she can still recall the devastation of war, and she can definitely recall the blood that had been spilled. Fellow devils, those still loyal to the ideals of the Old Satans, tyrants who wanted the entirety of the world, whether of Earth or of every other supernatural realm. A time of darkness. A woman that did not hesitate to make the hardest of choices, even having to put down once close friends and associates as their views were radically different in nature.
A woman who wanted peace, but had to spill blood to get it, so that the next generations can obtain that peace. A tragedy, she thought, that must never ever be repeated again.
The ice-cold woman who slaughtered a thousand devils. She whose fingers can stop the blood from flowing. The New Lucifer's second-in-command. The woman who earned the name of Leviathan instead of being born as one.
The Twin-Tailed Woman of the Blizzard Age.
"Onee-chan!" Sona muttered in shock.
Serafall Leviathan.
"My, my," Summoner made an amused smirk on her face. "And here at last, Lady Serafall Leviathan, gracing me with her presence."
"Summoner," Serafall, no longer the bubbling and fun-loving personality, took a more serious and grave tone. She was not playing games, especially against the woman who had threatened the happy marriage of her little sister and her husband so many times.
She draws her aura out, subtle in order to accommodate the younglings and the troopers, not wanting to give them fright, but more than enough that it could send a message to Summoner. Summoner, instead of being afraid, was lightly smiling.
"It's over. As you know, I could end you right here, right now, if you as much as move a finger. You may have mastered several magics, but so have I," Serafall would raise her Kaleidoscope and slams it on the ground, drawing out a cage-like structure of iron bars that would encase Summoner, making her a little excited. "So I suggest that you surrender and let these men under my command take you into custody so that you can stand upon a fair trial on the ID Court for your crimes. ...As much as I wanted to say that though..."
Serafall narrowed her eyes. "I have a feeling that the Summoner I'm talking to is yet another time remnant, and my Sona-chan and her friend had noticed this before I came along." She said while glancing her eyes at Sona and Rinne with a knowing look.
"..Ehehehehehehehehe~!" Summoner made a witch-like laugh, one that was subtle but terrible to hear, making the two Kamen Riders, Sona, Rinne, and the clones on guard. Even the noise that happens in the background, all of the explosions, and the drones that fell down.
And then...
"...London Bridge is falling down, Falling down, falling down, London Bridge is falling down, My fair lady."
"("Wait, why is she singing?")" Rinne thought. Even though Summoner's voice was very beautiful and harmonious, the way she sings the old nursery rhyme. Her eyes turn to the clone troopers were focusing everything they have to keep Summoner in their line of sight, with many aiming at every weak spot from head to toe. By the serious expressions of their bodies, Rinne can tell that they are taking Summoner very seriously.
Rinne looks at Sona who sported a grim expression on her face, holding her Kaleidoscope tightly. As Sona looks into Rinne's eyes, the latter would subtly understand what her fellow co-wife was trying to tell her. Something was about to happen.
And no less sooner...
A large explosion followed...
The Neutron Destroyer that was seen in the sky would suddenly blow up as multiple parts of the ship quickly scatter away, with the imminent danger of hitting multiple friendlies. Serafall, knowing how devastating of an explosion it would have, would not allow its effects and the rubble of the ship to spread. She puts the tip of her Kaleidoscope on the ground, creating a shockwave. In that instant, A field would be enraptured around the explosion of the warship. And with that, Serafall would lightly wave her Kaleidoscope and send the burning warship to another dimension, to a place where it would crash and explode without any casualties.
But...
"...She's gone," Sona muttered, narrowing her eyes.
Summoner took this opportunity to escape. No doubt, she planned for the warship to be destroyed automatically just in case of a situation like this. IS Drones still scatter the field, but they are more or less taken care of by the Clone Gundam Pilots seen in the skies.
"Sona-chan," Serafall muttered with a kind smile towards her little sister and her fellow co-wife. "Take Rinne-chan with you and head back to Azazel's Laboratory, her daughter and her mother-in-law are probably waiting for her, it won't be long now before Azazel seals the breaches. And yes, I know everything. Azazel gave me the update. Also, do not worry about Shidou-kun either, you and I both knnow that he can take care of himself just fine, plus he has Rias-cha and Shinichiro-kun with him."
Sona could not help but obey. After all, aside from Rinne, Sona was also Shidou Itsuka's wife, therefore, she could not help but want to be present when Rinne would eventually meet Mio and Rio again. She had always wondered what her husband's mother was like. In the past, it was just stories, files, and pictures. Now, Sona met her in person, even if they have yet to actually talk face to face. And aside from the subtle feeling of being in the presence of what may as well be God himself despite being powerless at the moment, there were multiple numbers of bubbling feelings that lay on the inside.
How would the mother of her beloved husband react to her? She knew Rinne, but she did not know her. And she felt like she was experiencing a bit of what her husband was feeling when eventually meeting her parents. There was a tinge of worry that she could not help but acknowledge.
"...Alright, onee-chan, I'll leave this to you," Sona nodded. She looks back at her fellow co-wife. "Rinne, we should head back for now and check up on your daughter and our mother-in-law."
"...Hmm," Rinne nodded. "Alright, lead the way, Sona."
And so, Sona would use her Kaleidoscope to conjure up a portal that would allow her and her co-wife to head back to Azazel's Laboratory. They leave, with Zi-O and Decade remaining.
"You two boys over there can stay," Serafall smiled a little. "Stay here, I'll leave the command of the troops to you two."
"Sure," Decade nodded.
And thus, Serafall would suddenly disappear, in a blink-and-you-miss-it kind of way.
"I'll take to the skies, senpai," Zi-O muttered, summoning Mjolnir with his right hand, twisting it many times as he begins to take flight. With his red cape blowing by the winds, Zi-O was now a thousand meters away on the ground and begins to unleash multiple lightning strikes and bring down multiple numbers of BRE IS Drones while assisting the IS Clone Pilots and the Gundam Clone Pilots.
Decade in turn would disappear, summoning his Aurora Curtain, and putting him in another part of the city where he sees demons with axes trashing through the alleyways.
ATTACK RIDE: BLAST
Using his Ride Booker, now in Gun Mode, Decade rapidly fires magenta-colored bursts of energy that would pulverize multiple numbers of these demons, never reaching Decade, and exploding for good measure.
Scene 10—W
HEY! ALL RIDERS!
Back on DCMK Earth-Prime, in the buzzling ecologically friendly city of Haramihama which was located right next to Tokyo, one where the iconic wind turbines can be seen, there were Makoto Itou and Taisuke Sawanaga.
Makoto is a boyishly attractive young man with a slightly lean build and average stature with black hair and amber eyes. His clothes could be considered odd and retro, carrying a noir aesthetic. He wore a black long-sleeved shirt with a red tie, a white vest and pants along with leather shoes. He also wore a black fedora on his head which he seemed to take some pride in wearing as this was given to him by one of his senseis, Shotaro Hidari, one of two who are the original Kamen Rider W. Overall, he looked like a high school detective, if a bit unorthodox in clothing.
Taisuke is a young man who wore a green jacket, white shirt, dark blue trousers, and white-green shoes.
They would both see the chaos that was happening from the clock-like portal. Both of the men were looking at each other with concerned expressions.
"Looks like Paradox was right when he said to watch out for a certain portal," Makoto muttered.
"And just when I was looking into the Gaia Library for answers at that, along with whatever is happening in the skies, and of course whatever's been happening with Shidou-san," Taisuke muttered.
"Shall we, aibou?" Makoto asks.
"Right," Taisuke nodded.
And then, they would begin to bring out their respective Gaia Memories.
For Makoto, he took out a black and purple Gaia Memory with a stylized 'J' and marked 'Joker', carrying it with his left hand. He pressed a button on it.
"JOKER!" the Gaia Memory announced.
For Taisuke, he took out a green Gaia Memory with a stylized 'C' that looked to be made of wind and marked 'Cyclone', carrying it with his right hand. He pressed a button on it as well.
"CYCLONE!" the Gaia Memory announced.
At that moment, two red-colored belt devices, one that was shaped like a U with two slots in it were seen. Two black belts called the Transformation Belt Doubledriver were seen to generate and wrap around them, forming a rectangular slot. The two young men would point their occupied arms out to the side before both crying out at the same exact moment.
"Henshin!"
Taisuke would swap the Gaia Memory into the right slot of the belt buckle. The Cyclone Memory then vanished. Suddenly, Taisuke would disappear from sight. As for Makoto, the Cyclone Memory had transferred to the right slot on his Doubledriver. He pressed down on it to secure it and then slid the Joker Memory into the empty left slot. He then pushed the slots apart, making a 'W' shape out of them.
"CYCLONE-JOKER!" the belt announced.
The symbols on the Memories appeared and smashed together, creating a burst of energy that circled around Makoto.
A strong wind suddenly blew, causing dust, rubble, and debris to go flying in all directions. The same dust, rubble, and debris spun around and around Makoto before composing onto his body and forming into a suit. The suit of armor covered his entire body and looked streamlined. The left half was completely black with purple highlighting on the shoulders, wrists, ankles and chest. The right half was completely green, with yellow highlighting on the shoulders, chest, wrists and ankles as well. A silver stripe ran down the middle. The helmet had a pair of round red eyes and the sharp 'W' shaped antenna, which could be mistaken for a 'V', was set on his brow with a red stone under it. Hanging from the right side of his neck was a long silver scarf that was like a cape as it was blown by the wind.
He, and by extension Taisuke, had transformed into Kamen Rider W.
And suddenly, he would make a dash and head for the portal. Grabbing the Metalshaft that he now carries with his right hand, he would suddenly make a surprise attack, twisting the Metalshaft, and knocking out several demons, sending them crashing through various locations. The demons would now take notice of them.
"Saa, omae no tsumi o kazoero! "("Now, count up your sins!")" W declared, raising his left hand that now forms a check mark.
And so, the demons would all charge against the Kamen Rider, with growling expressions. And of course, using the Metalshaft, they would begin to sway as they would speedily tag multiple demons from the torso, arms, and everything else, creating multiple sparks and explosions, wiping the demons out.
Scene 11—OOO
HEY! ALL RIDERS!
Somewhere in RX Earth-789, there was Godou Kusanagi, a young handsome man with black hair and black eyes. He was wearing a black and white jacket, with a white shirt, black pants, and white sneakers. He was watching the clock-like portal where all of the chaos was happening. Grabbing the Transformation Belt OOO Driver from his pocket, he would put it to the center of his waist, automatically forming a metal strap that wraps around his waist. There were three coins that he would get out from his pocket. The red one is the Taka Medal, the yellow one is the Tora Medal, and the green one is the Batta Medal.
He would insert them all inside the driver's slots and the belt clicked and the buckle tilted into a slant. Then he would use the O Scanner, raising it up, one that he would take from his belt and would begin to bring the front down against his belt buckle before drawing it across the front. The belt made three chiming noises as the scanner went across them and produced three rings of red, yellow, and green as the scanner passed.
"Henshin!"
TAKA! TORA! BATTA!
TA-TO-BA TATOBA TA-TO-BA!
Colored medals dance around him. The first ring of colored medals spun around her head in a vertical fashion, the second ring spun around his torso in a horizontal fashion and the third surrounded his legs in the same horizontal fashion as the previous set. Huge projections of the three Core Medals in the belt appeared before her, aligning vertically with the red hawk at the top, yellow tiger in the middle, and green grasshopper at the bottom before the three of them slammed together to make a new Medal that slammed into him.
His entire body became covered in a black bodysuit and armor. In the center of his chest was a large round circle with three designs on it. Squeezed at the bottom was the image of a green grasshopper. In the center and taking up most of the space was a yellow tiger and finally with barely any room at the top was a red hawk. His legs were covered with thin green armor at the front which was segmented not unlike a grasshopper's legs. Connected to the armor were green lines which connected to the grasshopper marking on his chest. Yellow lines extended from the tiger marking, past the rounded shoulders with yellow edges, and ended at yellow gauntlets which had sharp blades folded back on the wrists. Finally, the hawk symbol left a red line leading up to her face which was now concealed under a helmet that had large green eyes and a face plate that looked like a flying bird.
He has now transformed into Kamen Rider OOO.
"The Boar shall ravage you! The Boar shall exterminate you!"
Invoking one of his authorities as a Campione, OOO, taking Medajaribur, would burst with a sudden speed rivaling that of even the fastest animal, he would charge towards the clock-like portal and would wack through multiple numbers of angels and demons that were present in the street, not stopping, full speed ahead. Afterwards, he uses Medajaribur to slash through several demons in a circular pattern.
Stopping first, OOO would make a battle pose, raising his Medajaribur in an act of defiance. The demons nearby would take notice and would growl at the Kamen Rider. OOO would use the OOO Scanner to the Medajaribur, and having already put three Core Medals, there was announcing attack.
SCANNING CHARGE!
And he would twist the Medajaribur, its blade emiting a bright light, as he begins to swing it to multiple directions, first to the left, then to the right, and then swinging around counterclockwise to go with his stance, destroying multiple demonic creatures that were encircling him. Only multiple explosions and dust remained.
Scene 12—Fourze
HEY! ALL RIDERS!
Back in DCMK Earth-Prime, somewhere in the city of Sainan, there was Rito Yuuki, a young man with golden brown eyes and orange-brown hair who wore a black hooded jacket, white shirt, beige pants, and black and white sneakers.
Accompanying him was a young woman with short pink hair with two small flowers found on the left side and purple eyes, with a proper figure, wearing a green dress and black shoes. Her name was Momo Belia Deviluke, the Third Princess of the Devilukean Empire, an intergalactic superpower of the universe. And she is also Rito's girlfriend and lover.
Both of them were watching the clock-like portal that has multiple demons and angels getting slapped by Bikou through the use of his magical staff. His movements were flowing gracefully, dodging the golden projectiles and axes. There was also Arthur Pendragon and Fenrir attacking from a straightforward pattern. Arthur was using his sword to launch holy energy strikes and wipe out multiple demonic creatures and some angelic troops flying the skies. Fenrir would launch lightning strikes that came out from his body, with the lightning striking each BRE IS Drone and a couple of demons.
There were the 667th Ranger Regiment Clone Troopers that were providing them all with the necessary cover fire, and some Gundams were seen firing from the skies and taking out the giant demonic beasts as tall as a few story buildings, targetting from the chest and other weak points.
"Momo, I have to help the others," Rito turns to Momo with a serious expression. He was holding her by the shoulders.
Momo herself nodded, sporting a trusting expression. "I know," She said before raising her face and kisses kiss Rito gently. "Go, I'll hold the fort from here."
Rito would nod, smiling inwardly as a spark of confidence arose due to being kissed for good luck by his beautiful Devilukean girlfriend. And so, Rito would begin to step forward for a few meters and draw out his Fourze Driver and puts it on his waist, automatically forming a belt around him. And he would begin to flip the switches on and would raise his hands clockwise before his right-hand clenches into a fist while his left hand was raised to the right, also clenching his fist.
And then started the countdown...
3. 2. 1.
"Henshin!"
Rito would pull the lever and then would bring his hands in the opposite direction. Now his right hand was raised upwards while his left hand was raised downwards, like a 4 o'clock pattern. An explosion of smoke surrounded the area, with everyone within its radius covering their face. An energy field surrounded him as his appearance changed and transformed into something else.
He wore a white body with shoulders and the area around it was silver. Two orange lines, one on each side, separated the silver and the white from each other. There was a kind of backpack on his back that acted like a jet pack, only emitting steam. Around the forearms and legs were white metal gloves and boots, each decorated with a different shape; the right arm had an orange circle, the left arm had a black square, the right leg had a blue X and the left leg had a yellow triangle. Around his waist was the belt, which remained unchanged. In the end, covering the head there was a rocket-shaped helmet as the faceplate was black and the lens was dark orange.
He has now transformed into Kamen Rider Fourze.
"Uchu kita! "("It's space time!")"
Rocket On!
Fourze, using one of his Astroswitches, using the rockets that materialize from his legs, would launch himself into the clock-like portal with hands raised. With a burst of speed, he would tackle through several demons and send them crashing through the nearby walls. Fourze makes a landing and inserts another Drill Switch into the belt.
Drill On!
And he would materialize a drill in one of his legs and would use it to stomp on the ground, creating a reverberating effect that would send the demons flying.
Scene 13—Wizard
HEY! ALL RIDERS!
Back in DCMK Earth-Prime, there was Honoka Takamiya, a young man with a handsome face, pale skin, short brown hair that has a few bangs hanging over his face, brownish-yellow eyes, a slender build and a shorter male height. He was wearing a black jacket, white shirt, dark blue jeans, and white-red shoes. He was watching the clock-like portal where he sees Illyasviel von Einzbern and Miyu Sakatsuki, Kuroka Toujou and Le Fay Pendragon engaging multiple angelic and demonic forces, followed by the BRE IS Drones scattered throughout the sky. The battle was taking place somewhere in a ruined suburban area.
As his eyes narrowed upon the battle...
"Takamiya-kun..."
...Honoka would turn around to find his girlfriend. A gorgeous young woman, quite tall, with waist-length black hair that has a single hair strang sticking up on her forehead with chest-length hair strands hanging on either side, green eyes showing concern on her face. She is wearing a witch's hat and robe, all red in color, followed by a light green bowtie in the center, a white blouse with a blue tie, and a green vest and skirt which covers her upper thigh.
"Ayaka-san," Honoka smiled a little. "I have to help the others. Hold the fort from here in the meantime."
Ayaka would look very conflicted as she wanted to come and join him on the battlefield. But the look on Honoka's eyes told her to trust him. And trust him she shall. Admittedly though, it is rather difficult to wait here back in this world while Honoka, the boy she sworn to protect, is in another. But she could not help but relent as she saw the fiery determined eyes that she once knew from so many years ago.
"...Hmm, of course," Ayaka nodded.
Honoka nodded. And then, he would walk a few meters. Then he would place his right hand toward the hand image on his belt called the Hand Author.
DRIVER ON! PLEASE!
The hand on the belt flashes, and a flash of light appeared on the belt and transformed the belt into a metal one with the Hand Author larger than before and sported two switches on the side of the opposite side of the belts. This belt is called the Wizard Driver.
And then, Honoka would grab a ring called the Flame Ring, a large red ruby with some parts in silver colors. He then placed it on his left hand's middle finger and pushed one of the switches on the driver, the switch levers, which caused the Hand Author on the belt to switch from left to right. Then the driver begins to sing.
SHABADOOBIE TOUCH TO HENSHIN! SHABADOOBIE TOUCH TO HENSHIN! SHABADOOBIE TOUCH TO HENSHIN!
"Henshin!"
He would sway his left hand to the right before putting it down towards the hand on the belt.
"FLAME! PLEASE! HI! HI! HI! HI! HI!"
As the chant was going, a red magical circle with fire coming off appeared to his left. Honoka places his left arm out as the circle approached him. It soon went through from the left to right and forms his armor.
From head to toe, he was clad in a black bodysuit that concealed his form. The silver belt remains the same but had a chain holding several different rings. His chest was covered in red gem-like armor which was a long line down the middle with three sections on each other side rectangular, but slightly askew. His shoulders were covered in black armor with silver edges that were decorated with dragon-like crests. From his waist hung a robe-like waist, covering which was red inside but black on the outside. His wrists and ankles sported bands that were the same ruby red as his chest plate. Finally, his head was concealed by a silver helmet which had a ruby red faceplate decorated like the ring he wore; sporting metal lines making it appears as if it had had large eyes with antennae rising from the forehead.
He has now transformed into Kamen Rider Wizard.
"Sā, shōtaimu da! "("Now, it's showtime!)"" Wizard declared.
And he would begin to dash forward, his speed bursting due to the mana that flowed from within him, both due to his magical potential and due to the power of Wizard.
"CONNECT! PLEASE!"
Wizard would begin to summon his WizarSwordGun, firing multiple rounds of flaming bullets that would now tag multiple angels, demons, and BRE IS Drones, causing massive explosions.
"Hmm?" The girls turn to look at the interloper.
And thus, with their eyes widening in recognition...
"Wizard," Kuroka muttered.
And thus, Wizard now draws everyone's attention, being seen somewhere from the top of a ruined building.
"I figured that you girls could use a hand, you wouldn't mind?" Wizard asks politely while raising his WizarSwordGun.
As the girls all look at each other, they would smirk as they turn back at the Kamen Rider.
"Ah, but do you think you can keep up?" Illya jested.
In response...
C'MON AND SHOOT! SHAKE HANDS!"
Wizard would only respond by opening the hand part and a light started glowing from the center of it. He would immediately place his left hand on the hand part.
FLAME SHOOTING STRIKE! HI HI HI HI HI HI!
Multiple shots were fired, bullets of pure crimson flame, that would suddenly engulf many of the numbers of angelic troopers who planned to open fire.
Scene 14—Gaim
HEY! ALL RIDERS!
Back in DCMK Earth-Prime, there were three goddesses watching on from a dimensional window projector and would bear witness to Keiichi Morisato—Kamen Rider Gaim and his battles against the angelic and demonic legions, along with the IS Drones of the Blue Ribbon Empire. Every single one of the monsters and machine drones were wiped out as Gaim makes use of his Scratching Loading Matchlock Hinawadaidai-DJ-Ju to blow the enemies away. There were also Seekvaira Agares, firing multiple beams of pure light that zigzag across the skies and tagged multiple enemies and sent them down, along with Sairaog Bael who would counter many of the golden-yellowish projectiles of the angelic soldiers and send them hurling back with his conjured Touki energy waves that blasted from his hands while also moving fast, not being seen by most, and destroying all manner of opposition.
There was Belldandy, a tall and beautiful woman with light brown hair styled into two large bangs which frame the sides of her face, four thinner locks of hair branching out from the top of her head and curving downwards on either side like antennae and it is usually tied into a ponytail that runs down her back and bright blue eyes. Her face has dark blue triangular markings adorning her cheeks, with a thin diamond-shaped crest in the center of her forehead.
Her typical attire is an elaborate gown, consisting of a white robe revealing her legs, a white shawl, and an outer blue garment with a yellow triangular trim that drapes over her shoulders and wraps around her upper body. This article of clothing hangs loosely over her body like a jacket, and is joined in the front by a matching jeweled brooch.
There was Urd, a woman with silvery-white long hair and purple eyes, with darker tan skin, whose face has dark blue triangular markings adorning her cheeks, with a thin diamond-shaped crest in the center of her forehead. She was wearing an elegant violet dress that was more on the exotic side.
There was Skuld, a young girl with long black hair and brown eyes, whose face has dark blue triangular markings adorning her cheeks, with a thin diamond-shaped crest in the center of her forehead. She was wearing strange pink and red color clothing that was a little on the fashionably exotic side.
"Keiichi," Belldandy muttered softly for her man, putting both of her hands together, praying silently for his safety.
And suddenly, there was a view screen appearing from the right corner. It was a dark-haired goddess with brown eyes and an asymmetric hairstyle that combines short to mid-length hair and a ponytail. More specifically, part of her hair in the back is pulled into a long ponytail, while the rest is cut much shorter, barely reaching the lower part of her neck. Her diamond-shaped markings are somewhat reminiscent of Belldandy's forehead markings, although they're nowhere as elongated as the latter's, as well as they're all the same shape, instead of the middle Norn who has triangular ones on her cheeks. She was wearing a formal concealing garb.
"Peorth," Urd spoke the name of the woman that was on the screen. Her tone was serious in light of the current situation happening in both DCMK Universe-Prime and RX Universe-789 "Tell me that you got something good to tell us."
"Lord Azazel managed to make contact with me, he says that he's already working on closing the cracks that everyone is seeing from the skies and Yggdrasil can provide assistance on the matter, though..." Peorth's expression turns grim. At the same time, there were other holographic projections depicting several locations where the cracks were. "Apparently, we have a few stragglers coming in."
From several locations, there was the presence of multiple long slender clouds of black smoke that were appearing from the cracks. Most who were seeing the cracks in the skies weren't able to notice them, almost like they were invisible to the naked eye. But the sense of foreboding that was felt by the goddesses was nothing short of disturbing. For they can see what lay beyond the black smoke and see the true forms of what appeared to be very grotesque humanoid creatures, with plenty of brutal scars, as if having endured several if not millenniums of torture.
"...Are those," Urd made a grave expression, the same expression that can be seen from Belldandy and Skuld.
"You can all tell just by looking at them, couldn't you," Peorth muttered with a serious expression. "What we're looking at are highly corrupted souls of what may as well be once human. Already, even I can tell that these souls are not friendly and very dangerous if left unattended. This is why Heaven is sending in the combat division to intercept and terminate these things before they wreak havoc."
"...Hmm," Urd made a pondering face, putting her hand to her chin. "Considering how this is affecting our universes and Lord Azazel's universe, I'm starting to feel like this is planned somehow. But for what purpose? A tactical breach of Yggdrasil's defenses? For this much to affect our universe which should have been shielded by whatever amount of reiryoku a Spirit can enact upon being summoned into the current era, it just shouldn't be possible unless..."
"Unless," Skuld would finish with a grave tone. "Someone of either advanced capabilities or dark magicks are responsible, someone who knew where and when to strike."
Scene 15—Drive, Ghost
HEY! ALL RIDERS!
Back in DCMK Earth-Prime, there were two young men that were looking at the clock-like portal.
Junichi Tachibana is a young man with black hair and a black shade of eyes. He is wearing a sharp navy blue business suit with silver pin stripping, along with a red necktie, and black formal shoes.
Accompanying him was a young beautiful woman with black hair that has a black-white headband inside and blue eyes. She has straight hair with bangs, they are curly near the end. She wears a black coat, with a white shirt, grey skirt, and black shoes. Her hands were just near Junichi's right shoulder, sporting a concerned expression as she watches the clock-like portal. Her name was Haruka Morishima, Junichi's girlfriend.
Teiichi Niiya is a young man with medium-length light blonde hair and brown pupils. He is wearing an ordinary white shirt, beige pants, and white sneakers.
Accompanying him was a tall and beautiful woman with long hime-cut purple-black hair, walnut-brown pupils, and a slender figure. She was seen floating, with her hands placed on Teiichi's shoulders, denoting her status as a ghost. Her expression was etched with concern due to the what is happening from the other side of the portal. Her name is Yuuko Kanoe, Teiichi's girlfriend.
Junichi and Teiichi would both look at each other, sporting grim expressions on their faces and nodding at each other.
"Haruka," Junichi looks at Haruka. "I need to go and help out the others."
"...Umm," Haruka nodded, etched with concern. "Be careful, Junichi."
"Yuuko, same for me, I need to help out my fellow Riders,' Teiichi explained to Yuuko.
"...Alright," Yuuko made the same expression of concern.
Junichi would turn towards the sentient belt that was on his waist, making a determined emoji. "Ikuzo, Belt-san!"
"Okay, start your engine!" The Drive Driver's consciousness, Belt-san, would say.
And then, Junichi would begin to raise his red race Shift Car found in his right hand and place it at the Shift Brace, and then, he would twist the rear of the car around. And then, he would raise both of his hands, with his two fingertips open, before he would form a circular gesture before putting both hands down.
DRIVE-TYPE SPEED!
Junichi was enveloped by the holographic cylinder that concealed his whole body, and then steam came out. When the hologram and steam disappeared, a new figure stood in his place. He was now clad in red armor that greatly resembled a car. He wore a black bodysuit with white lines that ran down his arms and legs, wore red boots, silver knee pads, red gauntlets, and silver wrist bands however since the brace occupied the left band there was a red line over it unlike the right which showed more of the silver. The shoulders were protected by pointed pads and he wore red chest armor that had a black line across it.
A wheel would materialize from his chest that now sported a tire with a red line on it, which gave him more of a racer feature. Finally, his helmet greatly resembled that of car, it was colored red with two white lines that left a thin blue line that hardly noticeable, the eyes were that of a car's headlights, a silver "R" on the forehead, the top of his head had a rear wing giving him more that race car feature, and finally a silver mouthpiece.
He has transformed into Kamen Rider Drive.
Teiichi would begin to raise his Eyecon and presses ythe button. The eye blinked, changing to a G symbol. And then, pressing the top of his Ghost Driver that was now materializing from his waist, making it open up as the standby tune begins to play.
EYE~!
A sentient pitch black with orange trim hoodie would come out from the center of the belt.
BACCHIRI MINAA BACCHIRI MINAA~!
And then, Teiichi would begin to make a straightfoward martial arts pose, raising his right hand that has two open fingers, before circular gestures were enacted. And then, he would slowly raise the arms and his hand down before he presses them forward.
"Henshin!"
And then, he would press the trigger.
KAIGAN! ORE!
The Eye opened to reveal the G had changed to a face that was all orange with two black eyes, the symbol growing out of the eye as a light once this was done. Lights then formed around Teiichi. They resembled a skeleton with a large blue eye with a wisp above it forming in the center of his chest.
Sparkling light formed around him before it compressed into a suit with armor now covering Teiichi. He wore a pitch-black suit, with clear armor covering his chest and shoulders. His arms and legs were clad in black armor along with shackle-like bracelets and anklets around those spots. Bright orange bone-like patterns glowed on his suit, he even had large metal knee pads as well. In the center of the armor was a blue eye symbol with the same wisp above it his hands were clad in armor resembling the bones of a human hand the inside of his palms even padded. His head was now clad in a helmet that was all black but with a silver dome-like screen/visor over his face.
LET'S GO! KAKUGO! GHO-GHO-GHO-GHOST! GO! GO! GO! GO!
He has now transformed into Kamen Rider Ghost.
"Let's drive!" Drive exclaimed.
"And make our lives burn brighter!" Ghost exclaimed.
And so, both would perform speeds surpassing even the fastest human as they head towards the portal.
Drive, making use of his Handle-Ken, would swipe through multiple rounds of demons that were littering across the streets. Ghost on the other hand was floating, phasing through the BRE IS Drones that would suddenly explode upon impact.
Scene 16—Ex-Aid
HEY! ALL RIDERS!
Back on DCMK Earth-Prime, Keima Katsuragi, a young man with brown hair and brown eyes, wearing a pair of glasses, wearing a long white collared sleeve shirt and grey pants, along with a medical coat and black shoes, was now watching the clock-like portal that was seen from the skies.
With no time to waste, he would begin to raise his respective Gashat from his right hand.
MIGHTY ACTION X!
Keima pressed a button from his Gashat and a game screen appears that has the words "MIGHTY ACTION X". A Gamer Driver would suddenly materialize from his waist. He begins to hold the Gashat straight to the left before raising it back along with his left hand as they both stayed to the lower right.
"Henshin!"
And then, he placed the Gashat to his left hand and twist it downward, inserting it into the first slot of his belt, and then opened the mid-section cover of the handle.
GASHATTO!
GACCHAN! LEVEL UP!
MIGHTY JUMP! MIGHTY KICK! MIGHTY MIGHTY ACTION X!
A Gashat-like gate would begin to materialize from the front and engulf his entire body. He was now donning a pink bodysuit with eight black lines that ran along the sides, four on both sides and stopped just above the knees. Silver shin guards and knee protectors covered his legs while black and green shoes covered his feet. Plantations of silver arms sat on his arms and hands like a green wristband wrapped around his wrists. The rubber pink shoulder armor sat on his shoulders while his chest armor was quite unique. The right side had a circle of four round buttons, red, yellow, green, and blue, just like those found on game controllers since what appeared to be a health bar appeared from the buttons and was mostly displayed on the left side of the armor. On his waist, he has an apparently voluminous green buckle around the waist with a slit on the left side. Finally, the helmet was dark silver with a silver mouthguard while white glasses surrounded orange cartoon eyes. Finally, the rubber-pink metal plantations extended to mimic the swept hair on the left while a metal face that looked like his helmet sat on his back, only without his eyes.
The words "LEVEL UP" were seen to appear from the front.
Ex-Aid, while standing up from his crouch position, would declare as he raises his right hand in a checkmark position. "I will clear this game and see the ending!"
GASHACON BREAKER!
And then, Ex-Aid would sprint towards the clock-like portal, sprinting at speeds, making use of his Gashacon Breaker to hammer down multiple angelic and demonic troops, with the HIT icon being seen, as if it were a video game. Multiple video game platforms would materialize from the sky, much to the bewilderment of the angels and demonc who were witnessing what may as well be a live-action anime coming to life, a concept that was alien and nonsensical to them.
And Ex-Aid would jump from platform to platform and engage the enemy head-on.
Scene 17—Build
HEY! ALL RIDERS!
Back on RX Universe-789, somewhere in IS Academy, there was Ichika Orimura, a young man of average height with short black hair that is parted in the middle, dark brown eyes, and a slim trained body. He wears a white blazer with a black collar along with long trousers, watching the clock-like portal, surprising many of the IS students that were nearby.
He would see his older sister, Chifuyu Orimura, and the other IS instructors doing battle against the demonic hordes from the skies. And the IS Clone Pilots of the 667th Ranger Regiment would be assisting them and providing cover fire.
He turns immediately to Tatenashi Sarashiki, a beautiful young woman of average height and short blue hair, with short bangs in the form of a V, pale skin, dark red inquiring eyes, and a very voluptuous figure. She was wearing a modified IS Academy uniform consisting of a typical white and red blouse, a skirt that is slightly short compared to others, a yellow tie, and a short pale green sleeveless overcoat around it, along with red leggings.
She nodded towards him. "Go."
Ichika nodded.
He would begin to step a few meters forward and grab the Fullbottles seen from both of his hands. Then he started shaking it. When he stopped shaking them, he twisted both of the caps on them and placed the red one, which had the picture of a rabbit, into the right slot of the belt while the blue one, which had the picture of a tank, was placed into the left slot of the belt.
RABBIT! TANK! BEST MATCH!
Music from the driver started to play, repeating the tune until he started twisting the crank, at a fast pace. Two transparent tubes came from the driver, making the shape of two pieces of a suit of armor. These became filled with red and blue liquid that gave the suit more detail. In front of him was the front half of the suit, the color was red. It constructed a left leg with a white spring on the lower area and a right arm with less armor. Behind me, the other half of the suit was mostly blue and constructed a left arm and right leg. The foot of the leg had a tank tread on it, and the arm was more armored than the right arm.
ARE YOU READY!
"Henshin!"
He was striking a confident pose of crossing his arms in front of his chest and then lowering to his sides. Both halves of the armor clamped onto my body with steam hissing from the transformation. Forming around him was a black bodysuit, and the torso armor was a mixture of red and blue. The left leg sported red armor and a spring that wrapped around the shin. On the waist, it has a scientific-looking buckle with two blue tanks with the image of a tank and red with the image of a rabbit, a handle on the right, and a white circle. The right leg had the tread pattern on the foot. A tank cannon and a rear rabbit decoration rose on the left side of the collarbone and the helmet lenses were round and large, but contained impressions of a rabbit on the left side, and a tank on the right, the ear and the rod that rose to give the image of the antennae.
HAGANE NO MOONSAULT! RABBITTANK! YEAH!
"Shōri no hōsoku wa kimatta! "("The laws of victory have been set!")" Build said, raising his right hand and sliding it against the tank barrel of his helmet.
And with that, he would summon his IS from behind his back, a Close Quarters Combat - Long Range Combat type, 5th Generation, a red and blue body armor with red and blue wings and a sleek design.
"Let's go, ARSENAL!" Build declared.
"Ah, let's go!" ARSENAL, the onboard AI, would respond with determination.
And so, Build would begin to launch himself towards the clock-like portal and into the skies. Materializing a Drill Sword from his right hand, he would manipulate all of the energies from the tip of the drill that forms into a mini-twister and swish through multiple demonic bat-like creatures and send them flying.
"Hmm?" Chifuyu, slashing one demon off from the head, would notice Build's presence.
"Mind if I lend a hand, Orimura-sensei, no, Chifuyu-nee?" Build said, lowering his stance down towards his older sister.
Chifuyu couldn't help but smirk a little while feeling a little proud on the inside. "Think you can keep up with me, Orimura?"
"Ah," Build nodded with a fire of determination. And he noticed that he and Chifuyu were being fired on by multiple angels. But Build intercepted it with his shields that reflected the golden beams back at the angelic troops, picking many of them off.
And so, both brother and sister would launch themselves into the skies and fight against the enemy.
Part 3
Somewhere, hidden in all of the ensuing chaos, there were the same enemy angelic soldiers that were watching from afar.
"It seems that everything is going as planned."
There was one angelic figure that stood above the rest. He was nothing like the others. He had the same golden armor as the rest, with cross-like symbols found on some of the armor and helmet, with glowing ominous eyes. His wings, while emitting a white-light blue, also carried a golden yellowish detail that distinguishes between the rank and files angels from the others. What was even more notable however was that his wings were twelve in number. He has a sharp silver sword in hand with the "PAX" inscription seen from both sides. Underneath the armor was a man with black hair and bluish-white eyes.
"Men, it is time that we call for a silent retreat. For now, let the peoples of this world think that victory is theirs, for now."
"As you wish, Lord Kokabiel," one of the angelic troops responded with a respectful tone.
His name is Kokabiel, known in the Empyrean Heavens as the Angel of the Stars, Arch-General in Rank, in command of thousands upon thousands of the mass produced angelic soldiers that were under his command.
Part 4
As the battle rages on, and the song ceases, Gundam gunship mechs fly or make a landing from the skies, firing their large rifles that are full of green energy. There were also the clone troopers on the ground, picking off the enemy with ease. Black RX and White RX, using their powers, would send down waves of red and green thunder that would strike through multiple demonic and angelic foes at once. The battle was almost won, but it was far from over. Nevertheless, everything was going in their favor for the most part. For a city-wide invasion like this, the two Kamen Riders wouldn't think that it was this easy.
Using Sandalphon, Black RX made short work of over fifty angelic soldiers, slashing them down with a simple wave of his sword. The soldiers were seen crashing down from the ground, dead on arrival. White RX would follow by countering one demonic creature with an axe and slashing it through the torso, as the demon falls to the ground.
"...You know, kyoudai," White RX muttered with a serious tone, turning to Black RX.
"Hm?" Black RX hummed a bit.
"This seems oddly too easy," White RX said.
"Yes, too easy."
Black RX and White RX would take note of the flying angelic figure whose face reminded them of a certain person who is not here. Zafkiel Binah had arrived, with his silver-white wings flapping back down, his two ancient blades accompanying his hands.
"But I fear that this is merely canon fodder at best," Zafkiel would turn around to look at the two Kamen Riders. "These angelic and demonic factions that you see around you, Century Kings, are but the rank and file soldiers who would die to their cause, bred for battle and for war, nothing else, not naturally born, artificially created."
"...Who exactly are you?" Black RX asks. Somehow, he can tell that this angelic figure is not associated with the Angel Faction. He can just feel the power and authority that exudes within this figure. This was no mere angel.
"As I introduced myself to Lady Gremory, my name is Zafkiel Binah," Zafkiel introduced himself, making Shidou and Shinichiro pay close attention to his name.
Zafkiel Binah?
Those were terms that were so very familiar to them both, at least in the context of the original universes that both of them came from. Zafkiel was an Angel while Binah was a Sephira. An Angel was a personal weapon of a Spirit, a manifested miracle that serve as the strongest lance and ultimate shield. Binah was one of the terms relating to the Sephira which was connected to the Tree of Life in the Kabbalah.
Who was this person? And why does he have these names?
"As to what I am, I am one of the Anawim, though I am not like the others of my kin. Explanations can come for later, and once again, know that I am your ally, Century Kings, and I do not wish to see the Spirits harm either," Zafkiel spoke with a firm tone, one that denoted to the Kamen Riders of honesty, pure and simple. He was not lying, though while the Kamen Riders are a little suspicious, nevertheless, they welcome any help that they can get.
They can worry about who Zafkiel is later. Right now, they need to fight in this battle.
"Hm?!" Zafkiel noted something. And also, both Kamen Riders noticed as well.
It was quick. Looking to the west, they would see a crack appearing so suddenly. And...
"WAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!"
A young female voice was heard. And that same female would crash to the pavement of the road, grunting as she landed. And at the same time, the crack would close from the portal.
"...Owwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwww..."
As much as how out of place this was, what with the battle still going on, and with the firing of multiple rounds of staser fire going around, lo and behold, there was a young woman who was lying on the pavement and trying to get up. She was a woman with long blue hair, tied up in a ponytail, with some bangs left out. She has brown eyes and a mole under her left eye. She looks like a first-year high school student of her age, wearing the Raizen High School female uniform.
"...What," Black RX muttered to himself, his eyes underneath his visors widening.
His pace was picking up as his legs sprinted towards the person laying on the ground. It cannot be, he thought. Impossible, he thought. But his eyes were not deceiving him. The same young girl who once proclaimed him with the sweetest of words. The same young girl who was his family.
And as he reaches her, just a few near steps away, the young woman would notice the individual that was close to her position. From the glance of her eye, she would also see a similar armored figure and a winged angelic person.
"...Eh?" Mana muttered in confusion.
Black RX couldn't help it. He detransforms back into Shidou just as quickly, showing his crying face and overjoyed smile.
"...Mana?" Shidou asks. "Is that...Is that really you?"
"Nii-sama?" Mana made a confused and surprised tone. "But why? Wha-"
But Shidou cut her off as he suddenly hugs her, showing how much he misses her so very much, so very deeply. And for Mana, she noted that her Nii-sama was crying. But why? But nevertheless, she would suddenly envelop her Nii-sama in a non-hesitant embrace.
White RX and Zafkiel would silently step forward while keeping a little distance from the reunited family members.
"...Okay, seems like the Spirits aren't the only ones that we would have to worry about," White RX spoke quietly.
"No, they are not the only ones, even if they form a major part of why," Zafkiel muttered grimly.
In what was thought that only the Spirits would show up, another surprise awaits them. Mana Takamiya, not even a Spirit, shows up in this current reality and timeline. There was a mixture of foreboding and conflict that brewed between Shidou and White RX.
Who else can come through from the old and destroyed timelines? What others would there be?
And then suddenly...
Other cracks appeared, revealing two other young women that would crash right near Shidou and Mana's position, making a few grunts, much to the latter two's shock.
The first young woman was very beautiful, with long blond hair and deep pink eyes. She has a ponytail tied on her right side. She is wearing a white sailor uniform. She also wears decorative gold earrings with a small pink and blue sphere attached to the accessory.
The second young woman was also very beautiful, with long purple hair that is decorated with floral patterned ribbon ornaments and purple eyes that have visible scars that resemble the makeup of a clown. She was wearing the Raizen High School female uniform.
Both of the women were raising their faces and saw someone that they were familiar with.
"...Shidou?" Both responded.
"...Huh...?!" Mana made a surprised expression as she felt strange memories coming back relating to the second woman, like the static was slowly clearing, making way for clarity and insight.
"...Mayuri...Ren!" Shidou exclaims in shock, but he felt like crying from the inside as he sees the two Spirits that he never thought that he would also see again.
However, the happy reunion between family would inevitably be spoiled. Another crack would open, surprising everyone, except for Zafkiel who sported a slightly widened but grim expression.
But this crack was nothing like the others...
End:
Insert Song: Start
Dies irae - Animation OST: disce libens
Rinne and Sona would transport themselves back into the laboratory. Entering through the automatic door, revealing their presence, they would see familiar faces that were watching from the med-bay and from the screens that were nearby.
"Ah, kaichou, Sonogami-san," Tsubaki would mutter, and the rest of Sona's peerage would more or less acknowledge the co-wives' presence.
"Sona-chan, Rinne-chan," Kyoko spoke as she and Kasumi would see them.
"Okaa-san, mama?!" Rio sported an excited and relieved look on her face.
"Ah, so you have returned," Natsuki nodded with an approving tone and expression.
And Mio was now paying close attention to the two co-wives. And the two co-wives would stop for a bit, making a hesitating expression as they glance eyes to eyes at the aforementioned mother of their husband.
For Rinne, she has very stark memories of the woman with pale blue hair and blue undecipherable but impressionable eyes. Standing face to face, she may as well be looking at her own mother. Not that it's that far off. Mio Takamiya was her creator, her god, the woman who gave the life of reiryoku from within Shidou's stress, born from it, like she was Eve, being taken from the side of Adam, Shidou in this case.
Mio Takamiya. In the flesh. The Mother of All Spirits. And due to her power, the closest thing to the now-deceased God of the Bible. Once, she carried such power that almost nothing in both her world and this current world could contend, barring some. Now, she seems powerless, but that did not stop the feeling of danger. Even when she looks weak, it doesn't seem to be a comfort, and only became more of a dread.
Rinne would feel like her brow was sweating due to standing in the presence of a familiar woman who is hellbent on achieving her goals. But of course, that was once upon a time. Who knows what her current goals are now?
For Sona, she is having a similar feeling compared to Rinne. Pictures, talks, and other forms of investigation were one thing. Meeting the person face to face is another.
But nevertheless, both Rinne Sonogami and Sona Sitri, both beloved women and wives of their man, Shidou Itsuka, would stand their ground, breathing in the air. They turn to each other. Both smiled a bit, showing a sign of trust as fellow co-wives and turns forward, deciding to walk with dignified expressions.
"...Woah, that's Itsuka-senpai's wife," Genshirou would sport an expression of awe and wonder, seeing the Spirit form of Rinne Sonogami. "...Man, senpai is rather lucky."
Both wives would walk towards the med-bay, not taking their eyes off of Mio but also seen smiling as they see their daughter again.
"Rio, have you been a good girl while we were gone?" Rinne asks with a smile, putting her hand on the head of her daughter who was seated on the bed.
"Hmm, Rio has been a good girl, mama," Rio nodded before turning to Mio. "Ah, mama, okaa-san, I've just been talking to obaa-chan right now. I told her that I missed her and how I mentioned that we never get to spend much time together in the past."
"Yes...that's more or less true," Rinne nodded with a smile before turning her face to the Mother of All Spirits. "...It's been quite a while...Okaa-san..."
"...Hmm," Mio slowly nodded. "It has been a while as well, Sonogami Rinne. It seems that you have been doing well..."
"...Yes, I do...But..." Rinne lightly narrowed her eyes in seriousness. "Not as much as Shidou, unfortunately..."
"Ah, so you know about that too," Mio's expression turned grave, understanding immediately.
"Shidou told me everything, and Azazel-sensei and others provided information on their own to add to what I already knew from Shidou," Rinne explained.
"I see," Mio turns towards the other wife that was present, making Sona feel attentive and serious, though she cannot deny that she was intimidated inwardly. "...You...I do not know who you are, but I can tell that you are quite close to my son...but I feel that there is more to it than that, especially from what Rio blurted out just now."
"...Yes, I am close to your son," Sona nodded. Then she would lightly bow her head in polite greetings. "My name is Sona Sitri, Heiress of the Devil House of Sitri, one of the 72 Pillars, and also his wife. I and your son have been engaged for about two years before finally marrying him, spending the last and current years as a married couple with a happy marriage."
"...How odd," Mio sported a curious look. "...I never would have thought that my Shin would love another, especially when I knew whom he genuinely loved the most," Mio would look at Rinne meaningfully before looking back at Sona. "And it wasn't the rest of the Spirits, nor any other women for that matter."
"And that is still true, Takamiya-san," Sona spoke with a dignified tone, not assuming to have the right to call her by anything else for the time being, and opted for a more neutral tone.
"Okaa-sama," Mio would add the title in order to ease the tension, making Rinne and Sona sporting surprised expressions. Mio figured that Sona was the type of woman who belonged to the nobility class, and thus, had to give an appropriate designation that could fit the current climate of this conversation. "If you truly are Shin's wife, then I am quite curious about my new daughter-in-law, especially when I, his mother, do not think that my Shin could ever love another but the woman I designed for the very purpose of being his perfect soulmate," Mio was of course referring to Rinne Sonogami, the Ruler of Eden, Shidou's own Eve.
"...And as I said before...okaa-sama," Sona would lightly bow her head out of respect. "You are right that my husband would not love anyone else. In fact, even I was surprised that he would give me a chance to be his wife." Sona would look at Rinne with a sad smile. "Shidou loved Rinne, loved her more than most women, and perhaps even loved her more than me."
As Rinne would try to object due to Sona humbly acknowledging that it is Rinne first and foremost that he loves. "Please let me continue, Rinne, for both our sakes. I wish to explain what I mean to okaa-sama before you decide to make any corrections." Sona turns towards Mio. "However, with regards to the latter, Shidou himself had given me a chance. It all started with a simple engagement rule where he fulfilled the conditions for my potential hand in marriage. Since then, he has decided to fully embrace who I am. He values me, he cared for me, he taught me, and he loves me. Your son, my husband, was a very considerate and gentle person...and yet..."
Sona would sadly smile. "...He suffers, so very much. He's a man who longs to find love again after being deprived of it for a very long time, for so many hundreds of years. And now, when he gave me a chance to be the woman who he would love, we took our love gently but seriously, neither too slow nor too fast. I had done my part to support him and his troubles, to be there as the shoulder he would cry on, and yes, your son cried more than most, but he never showed those tears to just anyone...except to me. And...when I thought about why Shidou chose me, even now, I still do not know why, but I can only explain from what Shidou told me."
Sona continued, quoting her beloved husband's confession from long ago. "He said and I quote: "I love you, Sona Sitri. I love you for who you are. You are intelligent, considerate, strict, honest, and so much more. You have given me everything, even the happiness that I longed for. You were by my side even in my lowest moments. You took care of me when I fall. You were there to hug me when I needed it the most. You are everything to me. You will not replace Rinne, and I know that you won't, but even so, I still..." Sona quivered a bit, hesitating a little.
Everyone was paying attention. Sona's peerage especially was paying close attention. Kyoko and Kasumi were paying close attention. And most especially, Rinne and Rio were paying close attention.
"...I still love you...And I will always be by your side, and not even death itself can separate us, even if physically, I still love you and I never regret choosing you above everyone else," Sona made a smile, threatening to break a little. "...Those were the genuine words that your son spoke to me. He loved me for who I am, he loved what I can give, and he cared for me when I needed it the most. All in all..."
Sona would declare with a confident and determined expression, with one hand on her chest and with the other on her Kaleidoscope. "I do not and will never regret marrying your son. Even now, I chose to stay, even when Rinne and Rio are here. I chose to stay when the rest of the Spirits may potentially come back. If they have any misgivings about me, then I will explain well why I chose to marry Itsuka Shidou, the man that they loved, but the man that is most especially dear to my heart. If I were not to be accepted, know, okaa-sama, that I will not relinquish my place at your son's side. He is still my husband, we married with no regrets, and I will fight for my right to be in this position as his wife, and no one will say no to me."
And now, everyone will be silent. Rinne and Rio would sport their own expression of awe. As for Mio...
"...Hmm, I can definitely see why Shin would marry you first and foremost," For what may as well be the first time, and much to Rinne and Rio's surprise, they would see the Mother of All Spirits genuinely smiling at another person in approval. "...You did not hesitate for me to open your mind and heart for me to read. You kept it clear for me to prod."
"Hmm? What does she mean by that, Rinne-chan?" Kyoko asks, being near to Rinne who smiled a little.
"Okaa-sama accessed my memories, all of them," Sona spoke with a light smile. "Aside from my words, I wanted to show her more proof of who I am and what I meant to her son, and what he meant to me. She knows everything, from the first to the last detail, about how I genuinely love Itsuka Shidou. It is common courtesy for someone like myself to be courteous with her husband's mother."
"And you did well to remember," Mio's expression turns normal. "...And...You remind me of someone really..."
"...Who, if I may ask?" Sona asks while Rinne and Rio look at Mio with curious expressions.
"...You remind me of me...Just without the flaws, the sins, and the bloodstained hands that I have," Mio smiled sadly, her eyes dropping low.
Now that Rinne and Sona both thought about it... Their mother-in-law made a good point. Rinne and Sona both smiled at each other.
"That's quite a relief, Sona, for okaa-san to accept you so easily," Rinne smiled a little.
"Though even with this, I feel that celebrations would have to wait for the moment. There are still the problems regarding the other Spirits," Sona pointed out.
"That's right," Mio nodded, agreeing with her daughter-in-law. "Most Spirits may take this news of my son being married to both of you in dependable degrees. Some would not take it too kindly. Others would be more curious."
"That's not the only problem I'm afraid," Chisato, who had been silent and simply watching the family conversation, would speak and add a few points. "Your arrival, Takamiya-san, had caused quite a ruckus, not only in one but in two or three universes. Everyone from on high has noticed the leakage of your power. If it were not for Azazel's SDGM, we would probably see the entirety of Japan sunk down to oblivion, and may cause quite the ruckus in the entire supernatural community."
"In regards to that, after I have my time alone with Shin and the rest of my family, I would like to have a thorough explanation of the status of this world, what are its key players, what are its pantheons, what are the other forms of sentient life that exist beside humanity, and everything else that you could provide, because it may prove of use when I would like to plan with my daughters regarding the return of the others," Mio requested with a serious tone.
"They would be more than provided for, Takamiya-san," Chisato would put her hand to the side of her glasses, creating a confident flash. "In fact, after this fiasco is over, I believe that the Three Factions' leaders would come to Azazel's Laboratory to provide you with the information you need."

ED Credit Song:
【Oda Kaori】 Akatsuki no Butterfly MV (Full Ver.)
Start:
And as if syncing to the theme of one's surroundings, Miku Izayoi would begin to sing another song that portrays the mood of the situation.
tozasareta SEKAI no naka de utsurou
sono hohoemi ni michiru kioku
kono te o nobashite sagashite wa
kakedashitai shoudou ni himeta omoi
nazomeku SUTŌRĪ o koete tokitai PAZURU

hikareau kiseki wa doko ni aru no darou
mitsukarazu aseru kimochi to
oriageta negai wa hirari chou no youni
asu e to habataku
Let's move in the closed world
Memories filled with smiles
I reach out my hand to search
Feelings hidden in the urge to run away
Beyond the mysterious days (story), the pieces (puzzle) that I want to solve
What are you staring at right now?
Where is the miracle of being attracted to each other?
I can't find it, and I feel impatient
The woven wish is like a butterfly fluttering
flapping towards tomorrow
"Eagle seems to be one of them, same with Snake Bite..." Mio would stop talking for a moment as she became a bit quiet. Rinne and Rio were also becoming quiet. Many of them were widening their eyes. Sona and everyone else would notice this.
"...Mayuri, Ren..." Rinne muttered, feeling the sudden presence of her sisters by instinct.
And at the same time, when Mio turns her eyes to Natsuki, she noticed that the latter was narrowing her eyes on a certain screen from afar and paying close attention. And after a few moments...
"...!"
Mio would notice Natsuki would sport a shocked expression on her face, and even a trace of concerning fear. And just as quickly, she turns around specifically to Rinne and spoke with a commanding tone. "Sonogami Rinne, close the eyes of your daughter and embrace her, now!"
She did not know why but Rinne felt compelled to obey as she would head immediately to the bed and hug her daughter, covering her eyes with one of her hands.
"All of you would need to see this, and I would have preferred if the little one doesn't see this," Natsuki would begin to make a circular hand formation and summon a portal that would showcase what is happening from some part of the city.
Everyone looks ahead from the portal. All look to find a detransformed Shidou, White RX, and an unfamiliar man with angelic wings. They would see Shidou hugging someone...
"Eh?! Mana-chan?! She's here too?!" Rinne muttered in shock, asking herself how could this be.
"Mayuri-oneechan, Ren-oneechan," Rio would see her aunts that were lying on the ground.
"Wait..." Mio muttered, narrowing her eyes. "...Look at that portal, the one facing Shin and the others..."
Rinne, Sona, and everyone else would look to find...a very horrifying sight.
From the other side of the portal, there was seen, a burning city. The city was burning. Cement and concrete cracked. Windows broken down. And dead bodies of a gruesome sort were littered across the area. And among them were children, with faces that made terrified and traumatic expressions as they die in the most painful way possible. The skies were covered in darkness and unnatural red thunder would flash, and silent rain would fall down, producing a vivid ominous atmosphere as the cracks in the heavens spelt doom.
And standing from the other side of the portal...
"...You," Shidou muttered, his eyes turning into gold, with a hint of rage.
Mana can feel the overprotectiveness of her Nii-sama and one that carried a very heavy weight, but still gentle. And there was the element of the atmosphere that gave an eerily foreboding feeling that even made Mana feel like trembling. The same feeling of subtle terror can be felt by both Mayuri and Ren as they look to the other side of the portal.
What was especially noteworthy was the presence of a very tall figure.
"...Oh no..." Genshirou would widen his eyes in shock, with fear present in his eyes, and the urge to step back was present in his slight body movements.
"...No," Sona muttered in horror, widening her eyes, feeling fear most especially for her beloved husband who was just right near the darkness.
"...No," Kyoko would mutter in shock and horror, as she and Kasumi would begin to hold each other for comfort, trembling and shaking.
"...Eh," Rinne, while not knowing who this figure is, sported a trembling expression on her face. She did not know why, but she feels like she is seeing something...very unhuman...
"..." Mio would only narrow her eyes, feeling no fear whatsoever, but nevertheless was concerned majorly for the subtle power that was present within this figure that was standing nearby.
And like with Natsuki, Chisato would sport a shocked expression on her face, and even a hint of fear, as she recognized the figure that lay from the other side.
The figure, its back turned, would now turn around to face them all, and the sounds of thunder reflected, with a bright flash spread across its face.
A tall humanoid, about eight feet tall, with insectoid features, including his horns, beak-length mouth, five-toed feet, five-fingered hands, and segmented armor, all with black and silver color linings. But was very noteworthy were his eyes, the slitted yellow pupils.
Most were now feeling afraid.
"...No," Shidou spoke with a weak, frightened, and subtle but enraged tone.
White RX would begin to make his battle stance while also feeling like his body was trembling and scared. Zafkiel would begin to make a battle stance, putting both of his swords in proper positions forward, narrowing his eyes at the beast that was present.
"...And so you decided to show your face, Monster," Zafkiel spoke with a displeased expression.
The one being that was warned by the Matthean Lord in his cell had now finally appeared, if via the crack that came about through the mysterious phenomenon common to this and one other universe.
The Monster.
That was his title. The one thing that can truly describe this being of destruction, one of god-like power that he had accumulated after centuries of terror and training. But there was another name for him.
"...Nullus Nihilum," Chisato muttered, sporting a look of grave concern. "...But why?"
"Nullus...Nihilum..." Rinne muttered, repeating the words that would come out from Chisato.
But what was another reason why they felt terrified?
Simple.
Nullus was holding the dead body with his left hand, a half-dead body of a seven-year-old child. The guts from the stomach and arteries seem to be falling down. Nullus' eyes would shine with an interested look, and a sense of wonderment, and it did not help the dark atmosphere from the other side.
akatsuki no kanata itoshisa o hibikasete
doko made mo kimi o motometeku
yami o kirihiraite miseru koko ni iru yo
erabu michi o hitotsu shinjite tsukisusumeba tadoritsukeru no?
musou chizu ni iro o tomosu
kimi no MEMORĪ towa ni kagayaku
Beyond the dawn, I'll let my love resound
I'll search for you forever
I'll open up the darkness, I'm here
If I believe in the one path I choose and push forward, will I get there?
Light up the dream map
Your memory shines forever
And then...
"...!"
Doing the unthinkable, Nullus would suddenly separate the head of the dead body of the child, sprouting multiple ounces of blood. The scene would horrify everyone to varying degrees. And then, Nullus would casually throw the dead body into the portal and crashing down a few meters near Shidou and Mana's position. The body came out first, followed by the head which rolled until the bloody face can be seen.
Mana in turn would feel like puking at the sight of it. Mana felt terrified as the only comfort that she had was the arms of her Nii-sama.
Now, Mana was a warrior by nature. Barely anything could scare. She had been subjected to a cruel experiment that essentially slowed her aging down, still keeping her youthful appearance even after the thirty or so years that have passed away. She had fought against the Worst Spirit - Kurumi Tokisaki for several amounts. She had seen many darker things in her line of work.
...But.
For the first time, she truly felt dread at the sight of the Monster that was now staring coldly at her and everyone else. And even threw a child's dead body to the pavement as if to send a message.
Mayuri felt the same as Mana, feeling like she was about to puke, and her face turns to one of horror and terror. Ren on the other hand was more on the subdued side, would narrow her eyes, feeling disturbed by this monster that lacks any visible emotion, feeling the monster's subtle aura.
A despicable act. No respect for the dead. A logical if not sadistic motive. And yet that was the point. A tactic of shock value. To test if the heroes were to react and respond. After all, Kamen Riders hate it when they see children die in front of them. And Shidou felt the urge to transform and charge right through the portal. But he knows that he cannot. He cannot underestimate this Monster. How many times have he and his fellow Riders fought the Monster and almost got killed? One time too many.
And suddenly, as a violet-pinkish triangle came forth from the ground, there was Natsuki Minamiya, sporting a narrowed expression, battle-ready and ready to fight, even in spite of the casual way she holds herself.
Her eyes were simply telling Nullus one thing: "Do not even try to enter into this universe, Monster, or you will have to answer to me and to all of the higher powers who will come after you until your bones ran dry!"
And she isn't the only one who threatens Nullus. Zi-O, seen from the skies, would make a landing, having detected the signature from afar and stands his ground, wielding his Mjolnir. Decade follows suit, with an Aurora Curtain behind his back and aiming his Ridebooker on Nullus. A red magic portal would occur, revealing Wizard as he raises his WizarSwordGun. There was also OOO, suddenly appearing in a burst of speed, wielding his Medajaribur. There were Kuuga and Agito, appearing so suddenly, who were making martial arts poses, narrowing their eyes at the monster.
And then, there were multiple clone troopers coming from all directions and aiming at the portal, with IS and Gundam Pilots seen as well, immediately recognizing Nullus as the enemy, but the troopers knew that their weapons cannot kill Nullus, not even close. Their only hope would be to offer themselves as a distraction for their generals to benefit from their sacrifice and fight against the Monster should he arrive into this corner of reality.
Nobody made a move. Everything felt uncomfortable. All who knew Nullus were angry, and some were enraged due to the brutalized dead body of a child. Even those who don't know him could only fear him, except for Mio.
Mio, as she sees what is happening, would begin to have heavy thoughts. Who is this Nullus Nihilium? And what is he to her son? Or to anyone else for that matter? And of course, just how dangerous is this being that everyone is either cautious or afraid of him?
Somehow, Mio realizes that she is dealing with an enemy that cannot be reasoned with. A cold touch of programming, nothing except the goal. But what goal? Annihilation? Extinction? Mio can more or less make many conjectures based on what she sees. But the circumstances are clear. Nullus is a threat, to the point where even a Goddess like Chisato and a Witch like Natsuki were overtly cautious of him.
...However.
Nullus, with an undecipherable expression, would simply turn around and take his leave, walking a few meters away towards the destroyed roads, and the sound of thunder accompanying his silent retreat. And at the same time, the crack would disappear, leaving everyone else to carry a heavy breath.
The tone was silent, but everything was going to be fine. At least, that's what is hoped for.
One of the clones was holding to the side of his helmet. "General Snake Bite," The same clone respectfully addressed Natsuki who turn to him. "Cracks are going to close, T-minus two seconds."
And in the next two seconds...
The cracks from the skies would dissipate, and everyone would look up to see that it is so. And thus the tide begins to turn in favor of the Kamen Riders. And even as the battle continues on, clean-up becomes more simple and effective. The battle is over, for now. But even the afternoon sun wouldn't dispel the sour mood of the atmosphere.
"Little Remnant, Splinter Cell," Natsuki muttered, grabbing Shidou and White RX's attention, if only because Natsuki was using their old codenames. "Take Takamiya Mana and the two Spirits and go back to my husband's lab. Leave the clean-up to the rest of your fellow Riders. Especially you, Little Remnant. You may need to reassure your family back there too."
"...Hai, Snake Bite," Shidou nodded, speaking with a respectful tone. Then he turns to Mana and gently speaks to her with a happy smile, making Mana feel a little better. Shidou was also looking at Mayuri and Ren as well, both disturbed and shaken in their own way. "Mana, Mayuri, Ren, I know that you all have a lot of questions, but do you trust me?"
While the three were shaken to varying degrees, Mana in turn immediately answered with a nod, answering for all three of them.
"Hm-Hmm," Mana said with a shaky tone, trying her best to ignore the dead body of the child that was right in front of her. "I trust you, Nii-sama, even if Mana doesn't know what's going on."
Shidou nodded gravely.
And while back at the lab, Rinne would still cover her daughter's eyes, though even as her daughter's eyes were covered, she can nevertheless feel her daughter's fear, noticing the same dark and powerful presence as her mother and her grandmother did. Rinne looks back to her fellow co-wife, Sona, who would look with a grim and worried expression on her face, putting one of her hands on her right arm.
...This is going to be a very long talk, Rinne thought.
"...Sona," Rinne would bring Sona's attention. "What was that? Who is Nullus Nihilum?"
Sona's expression darkened, seeing her co-wife and her mother-in-law looking at her for information. "...Someone you do not want to meet, Rinne, and someone that I do not want our daughter to meet."
Chisato would turn to Tsubaki and the other members of Sona's peerage. "Shinra-san, I believe that it is wise that all of you are to disperse for the time being, because I believe that a private family meeting is in order."
"She's right, Tsubaki," Sona nodded, sporting a serious expression. "I would suggest that all of you are to head off. Let me alone deal with this as I am my husband's spouse and it is only proper that I alone were to meet them for now in these circumstances."
"Of course, kaichou," Tsubaki nodded. And so, she and the others would take their leave, with Tsubaki making use of a magic teleportation circle in order to make themselves scarce.
As they left, Rinne would turn to Sona with a saddened smile. "Life isn't really fair on both sides of our dilemma, huh, Sona..." Rinne said out of reference to a previous conversation from last night, on how opportunities to be with Shidou for themselves as co-wives would be limited as time passes.
Sona made a similar saddened smile, but nevertheless accepted the situation with grace. This was bound to happen sooner than ever. "No...it isn't."
And thus began the sober afternoon...
The Spirits meet one of the deadliest enemies of Shidou Itsuka and of every Kamen Rider...
End:
