Author's Notes:

Hey everyone! I hope you like the prologue of my new story, now let's get back to the King of Time and Humanity's Last Master. This time we will go back to Babylonia Singularity, where we last saw Gilgamesh challenging "Enkidu" to a fight. After the latter appeared to attack the heroes.

Now in this chapter, we will see the fight begin as Gilgamesh comes to terms with the fact. As well as retrieving a stone tablet. Now then let's get back into the story, shall we?

Quartzer 12

2655 BC: A reminiscence and a Tablet.

3rd POV

Near the Persian Gulf, Ancient Mesopotamia

2655 BC

We then cut back to the confrontation between Gilgamesh and "Enkidu", "What has become of the cold an emotionless weapon? It's not like you to take such pleasure in battle, Enkidu."

This pisses "Enkidu" off as he throws another beam of light at him, only for the latter to create a fire wall which negates the attack. "KING GILGAMESH!"

"GIL!" Zi-O also shouted.

"That's an impostor! That isn't the real Enkidu-san!" Mash shouted.

"Yeah! So, don't hold back!" Den-O shouted.

"Oh?" Gil muttered as he dodges "Enkidu's" attacks, he then jumps back, "Then it's quite a well-crafted fake!" He shouted as he fired magic beams at "Enkidu". Only for the latter to create a stone wall to block the attack.

"QUIET!"

"The Mana used to form you must have been of supreme quality." Gilgamesh commented as he summons an axe as he blocks "Enkidu's" attack.

"I'M THIS WORLD'S ULTIMATE LIFE FORM!" They then cancel out as "Enkidu" continues to rant as he continues to attack Gil, "THERE'S NO NEED FOR A DEFECTIVE SCRAP LIKE YOU!"

"Foolish Ruler of Uruk…enemy of Mother… I bring you only death!" He shouted as a pillar of light surrounds him. With Gil using his tablet to create a portal and summon multiple staves. As "Enkidu" summons multiple chains.

"I WILL END YOUR LIFE, AND WITH IT THIS WORLD!" "Enkidu" shouted as he unleashes his chains.

Gil then unleashes a lightning bolt that destroys some of the chains, as he use his axe to parry the chains, with one of them caught him in the left leg.

"WHAT ARE YOU?!" "Enkidu" shouted throwing his chains again towards Gilgamesh.

"KING GILGAMESH!

At these words, "Enkidu" suddenly had a flash of Gilgamesh's face causing the chains to miss Gil. As the dust settles, they stare at each other, with "Enkidu" getting tired as he flies off.

"Thank goodness… Enkidu is retreating to the north. You're safe from further pursuit" Romani sighed.

"We don't know what prompted that evacuation. But you can rest easier for now."

"You heard her! You've earned it, guys!" Sento smiled.

"Are you alright, Senpai? Tokiwa-san?"

"We're fine, what about you?"

"Me too, thanks to king Gilgamesh." They then look at the King who then muttered.

"I knew you would come. Still, what a perfectly terrible luck."

Mash then called out, "Thank you so much!"

"Thanks for the save, Gilgamesh!" Eiji smiled.

"Fools… you'll be no help to my forces. If I have to save you at every turn. It was our opponent's caprice that spared us this time." Gilgamesh reprimanded them, "Had "Enkidu" killed it, we'd all be dead."

"But…"

"Did "Enkidu" seem to be in pain to you?" Ritsuka asked.

"Yeah, he just flinched." Geiz muttered.

"I wonder—" Gilgamesh muttered as he starts walking, "A stopped heart, or some other malfunction, perhaps. That seems plausible." The others are silent at this, "What's passed is passed, don't dwell on it."

"How can you say that?! I know it's bothering you!" Ritsuka shouted.

"Yeah, and you look sad." Tsukuyomi agreed.

Gilgamesh replied, "We leave for Uruk, I have confirmed what I needed to and seen what I wished to. And I remembered a few things as well."

"I see..."

Meanwhile in the north, Ancient Mesopotamia

2655 BC

We then cut to "Enkidu" breathing in pain as he clutches his head, "I am stronger… I should be the strongest! So much stronger than that king!"

He then asks himself, "Then why did I retreat?" Flashes of memories ran through his head, as he continues muttering, "My memory is in disarray. I'm only able to access those from long ago. I don't understand! What is this malfunction in my heart? He is the one I must kill. But if he and I could speak—" He then stops, "No, I have no time to waste on conversation. Kill him… I have to kill him! For mother's sake, I must kill him!" He then looks at the sky.

"That's right, because I am not Enkidu."

Oh, yeah, Oh...

We saw Mash, Ritsuka, Roman, Da Vinci look and marveled at the Rider kicking Kamen Riders, when suddenly they saw Zi-O, Den O, Ghost, Build, Wizard and Decade walking as their faces are now shown.

We then saw Woz turning his book as it shows a shadowy figure with white hair and black eyes.

We then saw the Riders riding their backs, as Shadowy figures started walking. As the Rider kicks started moving.

We then saw Zi-O riding through the blaze. As OOO and Ankh are at each other's backs.

Mirai wo koe yō

We then saw heroes standing outside of a city. With Gilgamesh greeting them and Ishtar suddenly barging in. and Ana looking at Medusa with surprise. And the Artoria trio sighing at Merlin's antics.

We then saw the Riders as well as the Servants fighting some enemies. With Woz using his Kamen Rider Ginga Miridewatch.

Unknown POV

Inside the temple, Ancient Mesopotamia, Before Ritsuka and Sougo's Arrival

2655 BC

We then go back to months before Chaldea and the Kamen Riders arrived, where we saw the Priestesses chanting an incantation, "O great harvest goddess, o Queen of Heaven, our mighty protector, more fearsome than any lioness." Suddenly the altar glowed as Ishtar's body appears naked, "In our hour of greatest hardship, shield us, and favor us with thy brilliant light."

Ishtar then open her eyes as she gets up, the priestesses gasp as one of them smiled, "Have our prayers been answered?" She then started to walk as the Priestess said, "We have long prayed for your coming, o righteous Ishtar. We beg of you, deliver us from the scourge of the demonic beasts!"

"Deliever you?"

Suddenly Ishtar's hair turns gold as she smirks, "Oh I'll Deliver you…"

Ritsuka POV

Meanwhile, in the present day, Uruk, Ancient Mesopotamia

2655 BC

We then move forward to the Uruk in the present day, we saw many soldiers carrying the wounded. With Ushiwakamaru shouting orders at them.

We then cut to the palace where the Rider Servant said to Gilgamesh, "More than a third of the troops at the northern front have been lost. General Leonidas's force are holding out admirably, but there is a dire shortage of arrows and medical supplies."

Gilgamesh replied, "A loss within the realm of our expectations. Remove the wounded from the battlefield as soon as reinforcements arrive. I will see to it that supplies are replenished."

"My deepest gratitude. We will return posthaste."

"Fool. Exhausted troops are no good to me. Today you will rest."

"Y-Yes, my lord!" Ushiwakamaru replied.

"You Generals, report to the healers at once." Gilgamesh commanded.

"Aye-aye."

They then started to leave the palace, the heroes now went towards Gilgamesh, "You wished to see us, your majesty?"

"Is there something the matter?" Tsukuyomi inquired.

"Indeed. I remembered something." Gilgamesh answered as he continues, "You are to retrieve the Tablet of Destinies."

"The what now—"

"The Tablet of Destinies?"

Gilgamesh nodded, "That's what I said. It records the visions of the future that came to me as I meditated."

"But you're the one who wrote them. can't you remember what they said?" Ritsuka said.

"I saw no good reason to commit the clairvoyant visions of some half remembered dream to memory." Gilgamesh muttered.

"Ah…"

"Really, now, Gil?" Momotaros and Ankh sighed.

Merlin then asks, "So do you at least remember what you did with the Tablet?"

Gilgamesh answered, "I inscribed it when I reached Kutha on my way back to Uruk from the Netherworld."

"So, it wasn't in the forest to begin with?" Merlin sighed.

Mash then looks at Ritsuka and Sougo, "Can you believe that King Gilgamesh actually went to the Netherworld and back?"

"Incredible, right?"

"Well… I already read his story so I'm not surprise." Tsukasa said.

Gilgamesh scoffs, "The world you hail from with Netherworld nor gods above it, is far more incredible to me."

Siduri then interjected at their conversation, "The land where Kutha lies is part of Ishtar's territory now."

"Ishtar…"

"The time to face her was bound to come sooner or later. We may as well as get it over with." Gilgamsh muttered, "I hereby issue a Royal decree. Make haste to Kutha and return with the Tablet!"

A minute later we saw that the heroes are now walking, with Merlin explaining to them, "Right after the Three Goddess Alliance, Kutha disappeared without a trace."

"It disappeared?" Ritsuka narrowed his eyes.

Merlin nodded, "All contact with Kutha just abruptly ceased one day. Leonidas rushed over there with his troops right away, and what they find was a totally lifeless city. There were no signs of battle. Not a trace of bloodshed. It was as if every single person there had dropped dead where they stood. Every last man, woman, and child in Kutha."

"What could have happened?" Ritsuka asked.

"Yeah… That was strange." Eiji agreed.

"To this day, nobody knows. To this day, nobody knows. Nobody would set foot in Kutha after that. They all said the place was cursed. It's nothing but a wasteland now." Merlin answered.

In the headquarters Ushiwakamaru, Benkei and Ana are now doing their chores. When Ritsuka shouted, "We're home!"

"Welcome back!"

"What's all that?" Ana and Medusa asked.

Mash then answered, "Provisions for our new assignment!"

"We're heading to Kutha to look for the Tablet of Destinies." Ritsuka continued.

"And we're being paid twenty pieces of silver from the priestesses to do it!" Mash smiled.

Ana widen her eyes, "Twenty pieces?! I could buy enough flowers to fill the whole house with that."

Hina smiled, "That's right, Ana."

"I'll go get ready! Wait just a minute!" Ana shouted as she and Medusa go upstairs.

"Hey wait!"

"A-Ana-san!"

"And she's off." Merlin muttered.

"What an enviable assignment!" Ushiwakamaru nodded. She then continued, "I'd love to accompany you."

"But you mustn't, Ushiwaka-sama. We have our mission—"

"Yes, yes, I know." Ushiwakamaru replied. She then turn towards Ritsuka and Sougo's group, "We must return to the Northern Wall."

"Aw really? It would've been nice if you could join us. I've always admired you, Ushiwakamaru." Ritsuka said.

"Oh…"

"Come to think of it you two and the Kamen Riders come from the same country."

"That's right." Sougo smiled.

"Yeah! Even in our time, everyone knows of her."

"You admire me?"

"What glad tiding." Benkei smiled.

"Indeed! If you would mine—"

"I am all, ready!"

They turned and saw Ana with a large bag, "Come on, let's go!"

"We don't leave until tomorrow." Mash said.

"Huh?" Ana gasped.

"Look at you fired up Ana!" Merlin giggled.

"But we're glad you're so excited about it!"

Ana shouted back, "I am not! You're just lazy, Merlin!"

"Calm down guys!" Geiz shouted.

At night we saw Ritsuka doing push-ups, while Sougo and Eiji looked on. As they sat down, Ushiwakamaru climbed up and said, "Fujimaru-dono! Tokiwa-dono! and Hino-dono!"

This caused the three to scream with Sougo saying, "Hey! Stop doing that!"

"There's something I wish to ask you three about."

"Ushiwakam—" Ritsuka said as he looks at her only to blush as he looks down at her chest. He then looks back.

"Umm… Ritsuka?"

"What's the matter?" Ushiwakamaru asked approaching him.

"Uh…"

"Do you perhaps feel ill?"

"N-no, it's n-nothing—" Ritsuka was about to fall when Ushiwakamaru catches him by the hand, "Please be careful. Strong as you are, a blow to a weak spot can fell even the most seasoned warrior."

"And also, you are not even good at close quarters like us." Eiji agreed.

"I-I'll be sure to remember that. What do you want to ask me"

She then answered, "It concerns this afternoon, when you spoke of having admired me."

"Oh!"

Ritsuka then explained, "Everyone in my and the Kamen Rider's time knows the legends of Ushiwakamaru. There's even a nursery rhyme about your battle at Gojou Bridge.

"About me?"

"" Standing upon the great bridge at Gojou…" I used to sing that as a little kid, pretending to be you!"

This caused Ushiwakamaru and the others to smile with the former saying, "Amazing! I can scarcely believe it!"

"We're telling the truth though."

"Yeah, after all you are a famous historical figure. And I'm an avid Oda Nobunaga fan." Sougo smiled.

"Ah, no I doubt nothing you all said! But never expected anyone would remember me." Ushiwakamaru remarked at them, "I spent my whole life fighting battle after battle, cradle to grave, wishing all the while that in doing so, I might protect others and give them strength. Yet no one understood me. And now, hearing this, I'm so happy I can scarcely believe it!"

Ritsuka smiled, "Many people sympathize with your point of view. After all, your story's been passed down for centuries!"

This caused Ushiwakamaru to smile, "I understand you, too. I know why you fight."

"What?"

"You don't want to see another person in tears. And you do everything in your power so that nobody has to cry. And you do everything in your power so that nobody has to cry."

"That goes for us too." Eiji agreed.

Ushiwakamaru was happy as she said, "Yes! That's exactly, Fujimaru-dono! Tokiwa-dono!" She then move towards Ritsuka as she touch his hands, "Your words touched me! You all are truly splendid men, to understand me truly! Only my elder brother ever sought before."

"Ushiwaka?"

"What are you doing?"

She then bowed her head saying, "Ritsuka Fujimaru, Sougo Tokiwa and Eiji Hino, I hereby vow this to you all. Though King Gilgameh is the Lord I serve, I pledge my warrior's fealty and my protection, to you three."

"Ushiwakamaru… I am not your Master. So, I'm pledging this to you as your friend." He then extend his hand, "I swear to succeed in my mission."

"Us too." Sougo said as he and Eiji smiled.

Ushiwakamaru muttered, "My friend? How sweet those words are to hear." She then took her hand as she gets up with a smile.
