When an ancient evil is unleashed on the world, it falls on an average, everyday boy (Or as average as you can be with 10 sisters) to defend it, Henshin! Kamen Rider LL! (Not Too Good At Summaries)

46. Chapter 46

Welcome To The Next Chapter Of Kamen Rider LL! The Next Few Chapters Are Going To Be A String Of Team Ups, So I Hope You Enjoy! I Own Nothing! Co-Written By Hallucigenia77!

In the dimension of Second Earth, a world similar to Feudal Japan albeit populated by anthropomorphic animals instead of humans, at a menacing Japanese-styled castle, a giant snake in robes around his body, named Lord Hebi, was talking to his master, who appears to be, strangely enough, a Japanese human male who is apparently middle aged with long black hair and fierce and dignified eyes and wearing traditional Japanese Shogun robes. "With this plan we should be finally rid of that accursed rabbit." Lord Hebi said. "And also overthrow Noriyuki, making the conquest of Second Earth easier for you, Master!" He added. "Hmmm! I see! Calling for reinforcements from another world in order to overwhelm Usagi and his allies with the element of surprise! Very well planned, Hebi!" The human said. "Thank you, Lord Hikiji!" Hebi said while bowing down.

"Only question is, how and where do we find these reinforcements?" Hikiji asked. As soon as he asked that, a portal appeared in the room. "Huh? That's odd! I haven't ordered any of the mystics to make a portal just yet!" Hebi noted in confusion. Suddenly, Cicadeath and Flygor walked through. "Huh! That's odd! The device on the Dimension Gate has detected an Animarius signature within this dimension!" Cicadeath said. "But all I'm seeing is a guy in armor and a giant snake!" Flygor said, shrieking in fear at the giant snake part. "Who are you Insects and why are you both here?!" Hebi demanded. "Terribly sorry, I'm Cicadeath, this is my associate Flygor, we were sent to this world following the lead of a possible ally who got sent here somehow. They're easily identified by one of these medallions on their left shoulder." Cicadeath said pointing to his and Flygor's Soul Cores and pulling out a picture of the other 7.

"I don't believe we have seen anything like those!" Hikiji said. "Oh our mistake, we'll be out of your hair then." Flygor said as he and Cicadeath tried to nervously back out and into the portal. "Wait!" Hikiji said, making the two Insect Animarius stop what they were doing out of fright. "Are there more of you besides yourselves?" Hikiji asked with intrigue. "Yeah, a whole Empire of them, and they're waiting for us, and King Draco is really not the kind of guy you want to keep waiting!" Cicadeath said nervously. "The guy has a sword who's name literally means 'Embodiment of Death'!" Flygor said nervously. "Really? Then, perhaps you two can lead me to this King Draco, so that I can make a deal with him!" Hikiji said. Cicadeath and Flygor looked at each other nervously.

In the Castle...

The Pantheon, Dark Riders, and Shadow Angels were all waiting outside the portal as Cicadeath and Flygor walked in. "Find anyone?" Goliathus asked. "Well, we didn't find an Animarius, but..." Cicadeath said as he and Flygor stepped to the side, allowing Hebi and Hikiji to step forward. "They wish to speak with King Draco." Flygor said nervously. "You went to another world to find an Animarius and come back with an uglier snake than Hissy here and some guy from a Japanese Period drama?" Morag asked. "DON'T CALL ME HISSSSSSSSY!" Ophiucus said angrily. "Hey, it's not my fault you always hiss after saying words with the letter 'S'!" Morag retorted. "You'd better learn some respect human, I can swallow you whole!" Hebi said as Morag activated her switch, transforming into her Zodiarts form. "I'd like to see you try!" Morag declared. "Enough!" King Draco said as he walked in. "I am King Draco, what do you want?" The Dragon Animarius asked.

"I am Lord Hikiji! This is my second in command, Lord Hebi! I'm here to make a deal with you!" Hikiji said. "What kind of deal?" King Draco asked. "We would like to enlist the assistance of you and your associates, to get rid of our sworn enemies, Miyamoto Usagi and the young Lord Noriyuki, with the Geishu clan that the latter leads being supporters of the Shogun himself, who is also our sworn enemy." Hikiji said. The mention of the Rabbit warrior piqued King Draco's interest. "Miyamoto Usagi, you say?" King Draco asked with a wicked grin. "This tall, grey rabbit, clothes reminisce of a warrior from Feudal Japan?" King Draco asked. "Yes, that's exactly who I'm referring to!" Hikiji said. "But, wait, how do you know who he is?" He asked in confusion. "I've met him in a previous life." King Draco explained, the spectral image of the TMNT enemy Drako briefly appearing over him. "Really? How very interesting!" Hikiji noted.

"Miyamoto Usagi, isn't that the name of that Rabbit who prevented you from killing that Rat guy who kicked your butt in that Battle Nexus thing?" Futaba asked King Draco, remembering one of the stories he had shared with the Shadow Angel and Stephano before the three escaped the Afterlife Nexus. "The very same!" King Draco confirmed. "Then we have a common enemy." Hikiji said. "Indeed! So, what do we get out of helping you take down Usagi and Lord Noriyuki?" King Draco asked. "I'll have the ninja in my services help you all find your missing Animarius ally that somehow ended up in Second Earth!" Hikiji said. "Deal!" King Draco said. "Goliathus, Terriblis, Cerberion, Futaba, Stephano, Shibogumon, Akuji, Morag, lead an army of Neo Lizardons and listen to whatever these two tell you!" King Draco ordered them. "Yes, your Majesty!" They all responded.

Meanwhile...

At the castle of the Geishu clan, Miyamoto Usagi and his friend/rival Murakami Gennosuke were paying a visit to Lord Noriyuki, the young Giant Panda who happens to be the head of the clan, and his female cat bodyguard/retainer Tomoe Ame. "Greetings, Lord Noriyuki! It's been a year since we last saw you!" Usagi said while bowing down. "Indeed, it has, Usagi! That's why I've called you and Gennosuke over here! It's for an anniversary feast honoring the day when Leonardo-san had entered our world and helped you drive off Lord Hebi! Of course, I was hoping that he would get the invitation, even though he's not in our world right now!" Noriyuki said. "True." Usagi said. Unbeknownst to any of them, some of Morag's Dustards were watching from the shadows. "Well, I certainly don't mind a good feast, especially if it's free!" Gennosuke said. "Why am I not surprised?" Usagi said.

Just then, as the Dustards crept closer, Usagi and Tomoe felt that something was wrong. Usagi discreetly reached for his Katana. Tomoe did then did the same for her katana. Before Usagi shouted. "Everyone get down!" Before unsheathing his Katana just as a Dustard tried to strike with it's own blade. Usagi then struck the Dustard down with one blow, causing it to disintegrate into star dust, much to everyone's confusion. "What was that thing?" Noriyuki asked in confusion. "I do not know, but I doubt it was here for the food!" Usagi said as Tomoe noticed another Dustard attempting to sneak attack Noriyuki. "There's another one!" Tomoe said as she then struck down the other Dustard, disintegrating it instantly. Suddenly, laughter could be heard. "Your reflexes are impressive!" Morag said as she teleported in along with a bunch more Dustards and some Neo Lizardons. "But let's see you handle a bit more of a challenge!" She declared as Kamen Riders Tetra, Weather, Armadeiras, and Mortem as well as some of Hikiji's ninja minions, which consisted of the Mogura (Mole) Ninjas, Neko (Cat) Ninjas, and Komori (Bat) Ninjas, burst in.

"Those are Lord Hebi's minions!" Usagi recognized. "Actually, by extension, they work for my own master!" Hebi said he slithered into the castle. "Hebi! Tomoe, get Lord Noriyuki to safety, quick!" Usagi told the cat samurai. "Right! Come on, my Lord!" Tomoe said as she grabbed Noriyuki's hand. However, Cerberion's chains erupted from the shadows and wrapped around the two. "I'm afraid it won't be that easy." The Cerberus Animarius said, stepping out of the shadows. "We're friends of someone you may recall. Do you remember a Dragon by the name of Drako?" Futaba asked, specifically Usagi. "Drako?! It can't be! He's supposed to be dead!" Usagi said in disbelief. "Yeah, well technically so am I!" Futaba joked. "Long story short, he was reincarnated into our leader!" Cerberion said. "And Hebi over there along with his master came over to our hideout where we made a deal, we help them get rid of you and that panda kid over there, and they help us follow a lead we have about a comrade that somehow wound up in this world!" Futaba explained.

"Your master?" Usagi asked Hebi. "Does the name Hikiji mean anything to you?" Hebi asked back, causing Usagi to gasp in shock as he had a flashback featuring an armored samurai wearing a mask that killed his father Magistrate Miyamoto when he was younger and another one featuring the same figure killing Usagi's master Lord Mifune, who happens to be an anthropomorphic tiger, in battle. "I don't need that Aya girl's ability to read auras to tell it seems you just struck a nerve!" Shibogumon said with a chuckle. "How can I forget the name of the very one who murdered my father in cold blood and later killed by late master Lord Mifune in battle?" Usagi said with cold vengeance. "Ouch, you did strike a nerve." Akuji said. All the other villains laughed at that. "You will not be getting out of this alive!" Usagi declared. "Oh, you and what army? In case you haven't noticed, there's more of us here than there are you!" Akuji pointed out. "Gen and I have faced against similar odds before!" Usagi said as he and Gennosuke drew out their katanas.

"Yes, but I doubt you've stood up to the likes of us!" Akuji said, pulling out an Eyecon. That specific Eyecon was a turquoise-colored one with an image of the Akechi clan crest on the top and the word "Mitsuhide" underneath that image. "Akechi Mitsuhide, traitorous general and assassin of Oda Nobunaga, with this setting, you'll work perfectly!" Akuji said, clicking the button on the side of the Eyecon, revealing the kanji "光秀" before loading it into his driver.

Eye! Batchiri Jaaku!

That caused a new Parka Ghost, who resembled a turquoise-colored version of Akechi Mitsuhide's samurai armor, to appear out of Akuji's driver and floated around him. Akuji then pulled the trigger on his driver.

Kaigan! Mitsuhide! (*Japanese flute music!*) Uragiri no Samurai (Treacherous Samurai) Dai Tōitsu-sha no Hōkai (Downfall of the Great Unifier)! (*Sword slashing, followed by fire burning!*)

As that happened, the Akechi Mitsuhide Parka Ghost merged with Akuji in place of his usual Parka Ghost and then lifted up its face form his helmet. Then, Akuji summoned the Gan Gun Reaper, which then folded its blade upwards while Akuji pulled at its handle and opened its main body to reveal a hidden katana blade with the rest of the body becoming a bladed sheath. "Let's see how you fare against me!" Akuji declared. "Very well, then! Let's!" Usagi said as he and Akuji charged towards each other with their swords.

Meanwhile...

In the dimension of the 2003 TMNT, we see the aforementioned Ninja Turtles training in their lair alongside Master Splinter, Casey Jones, April O'Neil, and Leatherhead. When all of a sudden, a portal opened up! "What the Shell?!" Raph asked as everyone noticed that. Suddenly, Usagi and Gennosuke, battered, bruised, and helping each other barely stand up, walked through before falling over. Everyone gasped at that. "Usagi?! Gen?! What happened to you two?!" Leo asked in concern. "Leonardo-san, he's back...Drako." Usagi said weakly. Everyone gasped in shock. "Drako? But he's supposed to be in Lincoln's world!" Mikey said worriedly. "This is a bad precedent, my sons, we must make contact with the Kamen Riders immediately!" Master Splinter said. "Agreed! I'll call them on my Shell Phone!" Donnie said as he pulled out his Shell Phone.

Meanwhile...

"This photo was taken shortly after the first battle we had requiring Aquarion." Sakura explained, showing Yui, Subaru, Benjiro, Katashi, Hozumi, Yasu, Niyuki, Akumatsu, and Sonomi some pictures she, Lincoln, Clyde, and the Lucharangers have taken through their battles against the Animarius Empire and Pecadiablos. "Sugoi!" The Japanese kids said. "Just where did such a machine come from?" Akumatsu asked. "That would be a planet on another dimension called Vega, the peace keeping organization Neo DEAVA sent the Vectors to us as an act of goodwill, they also sent us Mecha Pollon-chan and invitations to a wedding ceremony that happened last week!" Sakura explained, flipping to another picture took after said wedding.

"Of course, after the wedding, Aya-chan gave the bride, who's named Mikono, and a few of the other females present some beauty enhancement potions and, well, they've gotten really big, to say the least!" She added as she had shown everyone photos of the Neo-DEAVA females after they've taken the beauty enhancement potion, specifically showing Mikono and Zessica both having grown into L-Cups, Yunoha having grown into a J-Cup, Crea having grown into an F-Cup, MIX, Sanzaka, Aye Chang, Youka Drum, and Aika (not to be confused with Nyansipo's girlfriend) along with a few girls their own age having grown into N-Cups, and Suomi having grown into an S-Cup. "Dang, that potion really does wonders!" Benjiro said. "I'll say! I've got to be the youngest in our family who's ears and first tail grew in!" Yui said in delight. "What's the deal with that 'First tail' thing, anyway?" Carl asked his new girlfriend. "A fully mature kitsune has nine tails." Kitsunagikiri explained, fanning her own tails out.

"But, you have ten tails!" Carl pointed out. "My tenth tail is that of a Japanese Eel, so that doesn't count!" Kitsunagikiri retorted. "Oh, Sorry!" Carl apologized. "So, how long does it take for a Kitsune to gain all nine tails?" He asked. "Normally, for full-blooded Kitsunes, they usually grow one extra tail every 100 years, until they stop at nine tails upon reaching 1,000 years of age, at which point their fur would turn a white or golden color and they become a Tenko, meaning heavenly or celestial fox, the most powerful form of Kitsune, before they then allowed to ascend to the heavens!" Benjiro explained. "How complicated, exactly?" Carl asked. Before anyone could answer, a ringtone started going off. "Lincoln-kun, I think your phone's ringing." Benjiro told Sakura's boyfriend. "I can clearly hear that! Hang on a minute, guys! I'll answer that!" Lincoln said as he picked up his phone. "Huh, that's weird, it's not on." Lincoln noted. "Actually Lincoln-kun, I think it may be your other phone." Sakura hinted. "Oh, I see what you mean." Lincoln said, pulling out the Shell Phone. "Hello? Hey, Donnie, what's up?" Lincoln asked. "Donnie?" Benjiro asked. "Another friend of ours from another world, he's one of four turtles that got mutated into a humanoid form." Sakura explained, flipping to a picture taken shortly after their first encounter with the 2003 TMNT.

"Wait, you guys actually met the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles?!" Katashi asked in surprise. "Yeah, that was an adventure." Sakura said with a chuckle. "To say the least!" Clyde said. "What? Oh man, we're on our way! Carl, and Adelaide, contact the other Lucharangers, there's a problem with one of the TMNT's allies, and apparently King Draco is involved!" Lincoln said worriedly. That made both Carl and Adelaide groan in complaint. "I'll call Shin-kun, Edge-kun, Aden-kun, Aya-chan and Azalee-chan." Sakura said, pulling out her phone. "Should I come along?" Yui asked. Carl seethed nervously, unsure whether or not to bring his girlfriend while Adelaide did the same with Subaru. "I don't know, Yui! What if you get yourself in serious danger or worse?" Carl asked. "Seriously, Subaru, King Draco's forces are just as bad, if not slightly worse, as the Pecadiablos." Adelaide said. "And don't get us started on how we're going to explain to your families if either of you get seriously injured or, worse case scenario, killed!" Carl and Adelaide both said at once. "I mean, if you had powers like the ones supplied by an Alebrije, it'd be a different story, but it's apparently a little complicated." Carl admitted.

"How complicated?" Yui asked in confusion. "Well there was this shockwave." Adelaide said. "And that shockwave bathed 27 people in different lights associated with a different Alebrije!" She added. "So unless you guys were hit by that shockwave, we're not sure if you can be bonded to an Alebrije." Carl said. That made Yui and Subaru rather disappointed. "Well I did have a dream about a shockwave, now that I think about it." Yui said. "Same here." Subaru noted. "Doesn't count I think." Adelaide said unfortunately. This prompted Yui to do something, specifically give Carl a pouty fox face. Before allowing her ears and tail to pop out, the ears sagging, and the tail wagging cutely. "Oh no." Carl said upon realizing what she was trying to do. "Please, don't give me the pouty fox face!" Carl begged, trying not to give in to Yui's pouting.

"Okay, tell you what, after we handle whatever they're calling us for, we'll bring all of you to their world and introduce you!" Carl suggested, clearly desperate to avoid the cuteness overload that is a girl who's part Kitsune. However, Yui wasn't having it as she pouted even further, with her eyes getting bigger. This was too much for Carl to handle. "Okay, okay! Fine! You can come along with us, same goes for Subaru!" Carl said in defeat. "Yay!" Yui said in delight with her fox ears perked up. Before kissing Carl on the cheek. Sakura then started laughing out loud. "Oh, I am so telling Hima-chan and Tsu-chan of that trick next time we video chat!" She said. That made Carl rather embarrassed. "I feel your pain, if I had a dollar for every time Kitsunagikiri made me quiver by looking at me with that face, AAAHH! She's doing it again!" Magnifalcougar said, noticing that Kitsunagikiri was indeed making that face.

That made Sakura laugh again. "Thank goodness my sisters and I are all human, I already have enough trouble when they look at me like that!" Lincoln said.

Later...

Everyone was at the temple getting ready to head to the 2003 TMNT world. "So wait, she seriously gazed at you and you caved?" Aden asked Carl. "She had her fox ears and tail out and everything!" Carl said, defending himself. As he said that, Yui was already hugging Carl from behind his back. "Besides Shintomaru brings Stella with him every time he has to leave world." Carl pointed out. "That's because the first time I used the Aurora Curtain since my rebirth, I accidentally missed out on a date with her, so she hit me on the head with a guitar in retaliation for that!" Shintomaru retorted. "You just caved because a girl stared intensely and cutely at you." He said with a chuckle before turning to see Stella looking at him the same way Yui did to Carl, but minus the ears and tail. "Okay, I see what you mean." He admitted. Adelaide and Subaru, the latter having come along with her, couldn't help but chuckle at that. "Well either way, we'd better get going, everyone who isn't a Lucharanger pick a Vector and get on board!" Lincoln said.

That made Yui rather sad. "Sorry, it's just that we have our own way of flying and well, Alebrije Henkei!" Carl said, taking on his mech form. "See what I mean?" He asked. "Oh, okay! I'll go with Sakura-neechan, then!" Yui said. Soon, everyone was ready, in addition to the Kamen Riders, Lucharangers, Aden, Stella, Yui, and Subaru, there was also Fuka, Desco, Panopticon, Alraunellie, Gorf, Toadus, Gracilus, Bufoam, Andros, Phixia, AkaRed, Mambana, and Axolota as the Vectors took off, Lincoln activating the portal device that would open the portal that would take them to the 2003 TMNT world before they all flew in. "So, Lincoln-Aniki, Sakura-neechan says you have 10 sisters? What's that like?" Subaru, in an effort to pass the time, asked Lincoln. "Insanity." Lincoln said. "First, there's Lori, the eldest sister and also Bobby's girlfriend, who has a tendency to be bossy like a military instructor whenever she gets put in charge of babysitting us! Plus, she has really bad farting problems!" He started explaining.

"Then there's Leni, sweet as can be, loves fashion, but not the brightest bulb." He said. "Seriously, she has a tendency to spoil surprise parties!" Lincoln added. "My third oldest sister Luna is a hardcore rock musician." He explained. "Unfortunately, there are times where she plays too loudly, which can be painful to our ears! Plus, there was that one time where she accidentally caused a citywide blackout after she turned up the volume on her speakers to the Super Max setting and strummed her guitar only once!" Lincoln added. "My fourth oldest sister Luan is a comedian and practical joker." Lincoln said. "Heck, she actually runs her own birthday party catering business that's literally named Funny Business Inc.! Unfortunately, while some of her jokes are funny, most of hers are rather annoying! Even worse, every April Fool's Day, Luan turns into a deranged prank-obsessed psychopath who pulls pranks that both not funny and incredibly dangerous!" He added.

"My immediate older sister Lynn is a jock, as well as an incredibly sore loser and even worse winner!" Lincoln said. "Plus, she has a tendency to eat a lot of spicy foods, which also gives her terrible gas, and she really likes to fart on purpose whenever she feels like it! But, worst of all, just like Luan is with April Fool's Day, Lynn tends to become a nearly unstoppable feral snowball-throwing beast whenever a Packing Day comes!" He added. "What exactly is a Packing Day?" Subaru asked in confusion. "It's basically a day, usually in the winter months, when there's excessive amounts of snow that can be soft enough to be easily packed into snowballs!" Lincoln answered. "My immediate younger sister, Lucy, is a goth girl, who's one of the co-leaders of an afterschool club called the 'Jr. Morticians Club'." Lincoln explained. "Why is that club called that?" Subaru asked. "They tend to do funerals, mainly for pets." Lincoln explained.

"Though, they can do funerals for people too! Of course, they also happen to be vampire fanatics, especially when it comes to their favorite TV show "The Vampires of Melancholia"! However, Lucy and her friends can be so stealthy that they have a tendency to jump scare everyone when they least expect it!" He added. "You mean like this?" Lucy asked as she, Rocky, Haiku, Dante, Morpheus, Persephone, Boris, and Bertrand popped up next to Lincoln in the cockpit, causing Lincoln and his passengers to get completely startled. "What the? Where did you come from?!" Subaru asked. "We were curious about this trip to the Ninja Turtles' universe, so we snuck aboard Vector LL while nobody was looking!" Rocky admitted. "This is just 1/10th of the craziness I have to live with." Lincoln told Subaru. "Lucy, this is Adelaide's new boyfriend Subaru, Subaru, this is my sister Lucy, her boyfriend Rocky, and their friends Haiku, Dante, Morpheus, Persephone, Boris, and Bertrand." Lincoln said.

"Oh! Konichiwa!" Subaru said. "Hello." They all said. "Anyway, the twins, Lana and Lola, are polar opposites, with Lana being a mud and animal loving tomboy and Lola being a narcissistic Pageant Princess who's bad side you want to stay as far away from as humanly possible!" Lincoln said in fear, Lucy nodding feverishly in agreement. "Really? Why?" Subaru asked. "It's because Lola is incredibly strong for a seven-year-old girl, especially when angered!" Lincoln answered. "Meanwhile, my second youngest sister Lisa is the exact opposite to Leni in terms of intelligence." Lincoln said. "You mean to tell me that the five-year-old girl with glasses who was there with Mrs. Santiago helping Hozumi-neechan and Niyuki-neechan into giving birth to their babies is your sister?! Just how smart is she?!" Subaru asked in surprise.

"Insanely." Lincoln and Lucy said. "I heard that!" Lisa said in annoyance through the comm link. "You know it's true, Lisa!" Lincoln said. "And finally my youngest sister Lily is an innocent toddler." Lincoln said. "Unfortunately, while she's usually sweet, Lily has her own dark side, as she can be just a dangerous prankster as Luan, as evidenced during a previous April Fool's Day when pulled dangerous pranks just to get Luan out of retirement from her own April Fool's Day pranks! Plus, there was that time where Lily became so cranky that she literally became super destructive around the house! How you ask? Well, as it turns out, Lily's crankiness was caused by her having seriously painful constipation from eating too much cheese!" He added. This caused Lincoln, Lucy, and Lisa over the comm to shudder in fright as they noticed the exit for the portal coming up. "Here we go!" Lincoln said as they flew out.

There, everyone saw the Ninja Turtles' version of New York City. "Here we are, New York City, home of the TMNT!" Lincoln said as a screen popped up. "Glad you guys could make it." Leo said via the screen. "Hey, Leo! Say, you don't you could give us directions to your secret lair, do you?" Lincoln asked. "Just follow us!" Leo said as everyone noticed Vector TMNT flying above which then flew in the direction they needed.

Later...

Usagi and Gen were lying on the ground as Adelaide performed her Healing Moon on the two anthropomorphic samurai. "You'll be good to go soon." She promised. "Thank you." Usagi said. "Usagi-san, what happened?" Sakura asked in concern. "Yeah! Who did this to you and Gennosuke?" Clyde asked. "Some beings saying they were allied with Drako and our enemy Lord Hebi and his master." Usagi said. "Lord Hebi has a master? Who is he?" Leo asked in confusion. "Lord Hikiji, although I haven't seen his face, I did witness him murder my father and master." Usagi explained. "Your father and master? Who are they?" Sakura asked. "My father was Magistrate Miyamoto, the head of my home village! He was a taciturn man who first taught me that the sword was the soul of the warrior class! Our family had been loyal to the Mifune clan for generations, and my father taught me to carry on that loyalty, especially after he was murdered in cold blood by Hikiji for defying him! As for my late master, his name was Lord Mifune, a noble tiger who found me after I had been wandering around as a street orphan and saved me from a group of soldiers who accused me of stealing from a deaf soldier when in reality I was actually returning something to that dead soldier! For years since that day, I had served Lord Mifune as his bodyguard alongside Gunichi, a wild boar who was also his bodyguard, and Buichi Toda, his general who happens to be a rhinoceros, but then, one day, during the Battle of Adachigahara, while I remained loyal to Lord Mifune, Buichi, on the other hand, decided to betray us and severely wound my master with an arrow, allowing Lord Hikiji himself to swoop in and attack him with a final blow by cutting off his head, all while I was too weak and worn out from all that fighting to stop it from happening! Even worse, while all that happened, Gunichi turned coward and fled the battlefield just to save himself, much to my own disgust! Afterwards, Hikiji and Buichi have left with my master's severed head and I haven't seen either one of them since!" He explained. Everyone gasped at that. "You have mentioned that you've lost your master when you and Gen last visited us in New York City, but you never told us how or who did it! Not to mention that you've never told us about your father!" Leo said. "It never came up." Usagi said. "What I don't understand is why would he go to your guys' world?" Lincoln said in confusion. "The guy with four faces said something about a deal Hikiji and Drako made." Gennosuke said. "A deal?! What kind of deal?" Mikey asked in confusion.

"They help Hebi and Kijiki get rid of me and Lord Noriyuki, and they help them follow a lead they have about an apparent comrade who somehow wound up in our world. Gennosuke and I tried to fight them off, but they were just too strong for us alone, we were able to escape, but they captured Lord Noriyuki and his retainer Tomoe, I knew we had to get help, so we went to our friend who actually kind of bares a resemblance to Splinter-san over there, Kakera, who is a mystic and he was able to open up a portal to this world." Usagi explained. "Oh! I get it! Kakera must be the 'old friend' you've mentioned to have performed a ritual to allow you and Gen to enter our world the last time you guys have visited us!" Mikey said. "Exactly, Michelangelo-san!" Usagi replied. "If Draco and his cronies are tracking down an ally, we need to get to that world and fast!" Alraunellie said.

"Right! And, you are?" Mikey asked in confusion. "Oh, this is Alraunellie, she's a reformed Pecadiablo, as well as Desco's girlfriend!" Desco said. "A reformed Pecadiablo?!" Mikey asked in shock. "Yeah, and she's not the only one." Carlota said, gesturing to Panopticon who shifted to his natural state while Alraunellie did the same. That caused Mikey to shriek in fright. "I'm Panopticon, but you may also call me by my human name Pantellis, who is Carlota's boyfriend." Panopticon said, making everyone that didn't already know about it look weirdly at Carlota. "Don't judge me! Besides, those two are dating humans and no one asks questions." Carlota said, gesturing to Andros and Phixia. "Fair point." Leo said. "Speaking of dating, uh, Adelaide and I just got ourselves love interests of our own!" Carl said nervously while pointing at Yui and Subaru.

"Konichiwa! Boku Konoha Yui." Yui said. "And I'm Honda Subaru." Subaru said. "You brought them with you?" Gennosuke asked. "SHE WOULDN'T STOP WITH THE POUTY FOX FACE!" Carl said, defending himself. "Pouty Fox Face?" Everyone asked in confusion. "He's talking about this." Yui said, making the same face as before, complete with the ears and tail, to which Sakura snapped a photo of. "Batta-kun and Ten-kun are going to go crazy when Hima-chan and Tsu-chan learn how to pull this off!" She muttered with a chuckle. "What is with the fox ears and tail?" Casey Jones asked in confusion. "You guys know how I'm part Nature Fairy? Well Yui-chan's family is part Kitsune, while Subaru-kun's is part Tanuki." Sakura explained. "I'm just not old enough to get the parts that come with the DNA." Subaru said. "Kitsune and Tanuki?" Casey Jones asked in confusion. "Creatures of Japanese folklore, the Kitsune is a fox with nine tails." Sakura started explaining. "My family gets more as we age." Yui said.

"Let me guess, one tail per year, right?" Mikey asked. "It's a lot more complicated than that." Yui said. "But anyway, the Tanuki, not to be confused with the Japanese Racoon Dog with a similar name." Sakura started explaining. "They're basically sentient shapeshifting semi-humanoid variants of regular Raccoon Dogs, capable of disguising themselves as anything or anyone!" She added. "Well it's nice to meet you guys." Leo said. "Likewise!" Yui, Subaru, Panopticon, and Alraunellie said at once. "Now that you've mentioned, I actually have a friend named Kitsune, who's a female fox, of the regular one-tailed variety of course, that's both a street performer and a master thief, though she doesn't steal from the poor, due to the fact that she was once poor herself!" Usagi noted. "Cool." Lincoln said.

Meanwhile...

"Lord Noriyuki, we finally have you." Lord Hebi said laughing as Noriyuki and Tomoe were chained to a wall in Hikiji's castle. "You'll never get away with this, Hebi! When the Shogun gets word of you and Hikiji kidnapping me, he'll be sending his army to rescue us and take you all down!" Noriyuki angrily declared. "Oh, I figured that might happen! In fact, I'm counting on it!" Hikiji said as he came into view, wearing an oni-themed mask in front of his helmet. "Thanks to our new friends here, we've made some improvements to the castle." He explained. "And once the Shogun and his army arrives here, they will all be caught in my trap!" Hikiji added. "Same with anyone else who dares to come here!" King Draco said walking in. "Who are you?!" Noriyuki asked in shock. King Draco then unsheathed the Shi no Gutai Ka and pressed the blade dangerously close to Noriyuki's neck. "Your worst nightmare." He said as a Dustard rushed in and tapped the Dragon on the shoulder.

"Huh? What is it?" King Draco asked the Dustard. The Dustard then presented something to the King. "Huh, so this is what caused the alarm to go off." He said, picking up a Soul Core! Specifically it showed the image of a Japanese Dragon with eight heads on the front, eight tails at the rear, and several rows of Japanese Fir and Cypress trees growing along its back with moss covering most of its body. "Orochar, perfect!" King Draco said. "Return to the castle and bring back a fruit from the tree of life!" King Draco ordered the Dustard, who nodded before leaving. "I'm confused, what do you want with that medallion? It's all that was left of a great Dragon of Destruction my ancestor slayed thousands of years ago and has been a treasure of Lord Noriyuki's family since!" Tomoe said in confusion. "If you must know, that medallion as you call it is actually a Soul Core!" King Draco started explaining.

"It's the life blood of an Animarius, when we fall in battle, we get reduced to it, but if a Soul Core is placed in a fruit from the Tree of Life, we are revived!" King Draco explained, pointing to his own. "As for the great Dragon of Destruction as you just called him, his real name is Orochar, who is actually a member of my Royal Guard and also one of my many cousins!" He added. "And he should spice things up a bit!" He said, laughing maniacally.

Meanwhile...

Everyone was getting ready to head to Second Earth for the rescue mission. "Hebi and Hikiji are most likely holding Tomoe and Lord Noriyuki somewhere in their castle." Usagi explained. "And you know where that castle is?" Lincoln asked. "Yes, unfortunately! Hikiji resides over the Mutsu Province in my world, which is not only very far away, but also so heavily guarded that not even I dared to enter it!" Usagi answered. "My Shinobi mode and Panopticon's Satellite eyes should help us get a good idea on what the security will be like." Lincoln said. "And just to be sure, Shintomaru and I will be going to the other world to get some backup we feel will be perfect given the situation." AkaRed said. "What sort of backup?" Gennosuke asked in confusion. "You'll see!" Shintomaru said, opening an Aurora Curtain that he, AkaRed, and Stella walked through. "Okay, how did he do that?" Subaru asked in confusion.

"Shintomaru is actually the reincarnation of Tsukasa Kadoya, better known as Kamen Rider Decade, who's an interdimensional traveler of sorts!" Lincoln said. "Crazy, right? Edge-kun here is also a Kamen Rider reincarnated!" Sakura said. "Specifically, I was known as Hino Eiji, better known as Kamen Rider OOO!" Edge said. "And apparently there's a third reborn Kamen Rider somewhere in our world." Clyde said. "And who would that Rider be?" Yui asked. "Kamen Rider Eternal, and Shintomaru and I are admittedly a little nervous, given what he did in his previous life." Edge admitted. "What did he do exactly?" Subaru asked. "Well, he tried to destroy an entire city in an act of revenge against an evil organization, not to mention that he planned on turning everyone into undead beings called Necro-Overs, though it was due to his mental deterioration since he was a Necro-Over too!" Edge said.

"You cannot judge others in this life based on something they did in a past life, although there are exceptions, primarily if they aren't any better in this one." Master Splinter said, obviously referring to Drako/King Draco. "Very well put, Splinter!" Master Toadus said. "And based on what you have told us, King Draco is definitely worse than he was as Drako." He added. "Stephano Inverso, head of the Inverso Mafia, Kamen Rider Weather, and one of Draco's allies doesn't sound any different from his past life either based on what Terui Ryu tells us." Azalee noted. "You know, Shin-kun as Kamen Rider Decade is known now as 'Protector of Worlds', but in his past life, he had the nickname 'Destroyer of Worlds'." Sakura pointed out. "Why was he called that?" Yui asked in confusion. "Apparently he used to lead an organization called 'Dai-Shocker' which was an offshoot of the original Kamen Riders' enemy Shocker, and did some real terrible things, got amnesia, and became an Anti Hero." Sakura explained. "Destroyer of Worlds, isn't that what that crazy guy in the trench coat we saw the other day kept blabbering on about?" Casey Jones asked April.

"I think he did say something like that!" April replied. "Shin-kun won't be happy to hear that Narutaki guy was here." Sakura muttered upon hearing that and realizing who they were talking about. "Either way, the Vectors should help us get to Second Earth and to the Mutsu Provence, we'll land near there and figure out what to do from there." Lincoln said. "Good idea, Lincoln-san!" Usagi said. Soon the Vectors and Alebrije mechs were back in the air with another portal opening up which everyone flew into.

Later...

Everyone was in the dimension of Second Earth, and then immediately brought along Kakera (who resembles Master Splinter, albeit with brown fur and a peach-colored robe with black spotted patterns) and, along the way, Usagi's friend Kitsune (who was a female anthropomorphic fox wearing a blue kimono with sea star patterns), her assistant/adoptive younger sister Kiyoko (who was a young anthropomorphic cat wearing a Mauve kimono), Yamamoto Yukichi (who is Usagi's younger cousin and wearing an orange version of his outfit), and Inspector Ishida (who was an old anthropomorphic cat with a thick monobrow and a top knot that also happens to be a hardboiled detective wearing a traditional ancient Japanese policeman's uniform), before arriving to their destination, looking at the castle in question from afar. "That's the place alright, I can tell from here that it's swarming with Neo-Lizardons, Dustards, and Hebi and Hikiji's ninja goons!" Leo said. "Though, I don't believe I've ever seen the huge bats with blades attached to their wings or that big one-horned Rhino in spiked samurai armor before!" Leo said as he pointed at the Komori Ninjas flying around the area before pointing at an anthropomorphic male rhinoceros, which, unlike Gennosuke, still has an intact horn and wearing spiked samurai armor. "The bats are the Komori Ninja, the third ninja clan under the service of Lord Hebi and Lord Hikiji!" Usagi explained. "As for the Rhino in spiked samurai armor, *GASP!* that's Buichi Toda, the one who betrayed my master Lord Mifune and allowed Hikiji to cut his head off!" He said angrily upon noticing the armored rhino, now identified as Buichi Toda.

"So in other words, not friendly." Aurachnid guessed. "Not one bit." Usagi confirmed. "Uh, I don't mean to be rude, but is that a severed head of a tiger wearing a samurai's helmet that's set on top of a pike I'm seeing here?" Haiku as she pointed at the front entrance of the castle to see a wooden pike with a severed anthropomorphic tiger's head, with it's helmet still on it, set on top of it and flies buzzing around it. Needless to say, everyone was outright disgusted at that, especially Usagi. "Must be one of their 'trophies'." Usagi said. "*Gasp!* Wait a minute! I know that helmet! That must be Lord Mifune's severed head! As if killing my master wasn't bad enough, but Hikiji dare to dishonor him by displaying his head like that?!" He asked angrily upon realizing who the severed head really belonged to.

"I know what you mean, Cerberion captures the souls of those he kills in orbs and parades them around on a bandolier he wears. Or at least he did, but now the bandolier is in my bedroom, unfortunately, as long as he exists, the souls are trapped in those orbs." Sakura said angrily. "*Shudder!* Even I find that to be despicable!" Gennosuke noted. "Uh, Sakura-neechan, does Cerberion look like a giant black dog with three heads?" Yui asked. "Yeah, why?" Sakura asked. "Because I see him from here!" Yui said, pointing to a nearby window where Cerberion could be seen. That made Sakura tense up in fright. "Is she okay?" Kitsune asked, noticing Sakura's demeanor. "Cerberion killed her parents, older brother, and unborn baby brother and sister." Lincoln explained. That made everyone who didn't know, especially about the last part, gasp in shock and horror.

"They didn't even get the chance to live!" Sakura said in shock, recalling the haunting 'Oneechan!' she heard in her dream. "Now that's something even I find to be cruel!" A voice said as everyone turned around to see an anthropomorphic male wild boar wearing samurai armor, though Usagi wasn't too happy to see him upon recognition. "Gunichi?! What are you doing here, you coward?! I thought I had killed you in a duel two years after Lord Mifune's death! How is that you're still alive?!" Usagi asked angrily while pointing his sword at the wild boar, now identified as Gunichi. "Wonderful to see you again too, Usagi." Gunichi said sarcastically, moving Usagi's sword aside. "You know him, Cousin Usagi?" Yukichi asked in confusion.

"All too well." Usagi said as Aya looked at both their auras and cringed. "Your auras are telling me you aren't exactly on the best of terms, in fact the furthest from it." She noted. That made everyone who didn't know about her powers look at her in confusion. "Aya-chan can read auras." Sakura explained. "I can also do this!" Aya said, shifting to her Werehyena form. "Whoa! She went from a Saru (Monkey) to a hyena?!" Gennosuke said in shock. "First of all, my usual form is called a human, not a monkey!" Aya said. "Second of all, it's an inherited trait from my late mother's side of the family." She added. "Late mother?" Kiyoko asked in confusion. "She and my sister were killed thanks to a traitorous familiar." Aya explained. "Familiar?" Kitsune asked.

"Basically it's like a little helper for witches, I come from a long line of witchdoctors, you see, for 5,000 years, my family's familiar was a Lightning Bird Animarius named Shockwing who was made into a familiar by my ancestor Ofui, but then he let a Tsetse Fly bite my mom, causing her to die of Sleeping sickness, and brainwashed a Black Mamba into attacking my sister, so now my family's familiar is Rena here." Aya said, scratching the Alebrije of Spirit behind the ear. "Tsetse Fly? Black Mamba?" Inspector Ishida asked. "The first one is a bloodsucking fly that's known for transmitting diseases, specifically Sleeping Sickness, while the other one is a highly venomous snake!" Donnie explained. "The specific Black Mamba was later made into me." Mambana shamefully admitted. Everyone gasped at that.

"I know right?" Sakura asked. "Anyway, how do you two know each other?" Yukichi asked Usagi and Gunichi. "Gunichi and I both served under Lord Mifune as his bodyguards, though Gunichi served him longer than I have! We both swore loyalty to him, but then, during the Battle of Adachigahara, right before Buichi betrayed Lord Mifune for the benefit of Hikiji, instead of staying and fighting to protect our master like a true samurai should, Gunichi went and fled the battlefield just to save himself!" Usagi said while glaring at Gunichi. "I was able to track him down and face him in a duel that I thought ended in your death, but here you are. What are you doing here, you coward?" Usagi asked.

"Remember when I fell down a cliff after you struck me at the chest with your sword?" Gunichi asked back. "Of course, I remember! How can I forget?" Usagi asked. "Well, truth be told, I really thought I died that day as well! But, I guess fate had something different in store for me, because, apparently, instead of landing into the ground upon falling, I ended up splashing down into a freshwater spring of all places! But, what's more interesting was that the waters of the spring actually healed my supposedly fatal wounds and brought me back to consciousness! That's when I realized that what fell into was none other than the legendary Healing Spring of Life!" Gunichi explained. "The Healing Spring of Life?! But I thought that was just a legend!" Usagi said in shock. "That's what I thought too, and yet the day you defeated me in our duel was the day I had unexpectedly discovered it!" Gunichi said. "The Healing Spring of Life?" Lincoln asked in confusion. "According to legend in our world, the Healing Spring of Life is this mystical water spring created by the water god Suiten that's said to allow anyone who bathes in its waters to be instantly healed from any kind of wounds, including ones that are usually considered fatal!, and cured of any kind poison or venom!" Kakera explained. "And you discovered it by sheer coincidence after falling off a cliff to your supposed death?!" Gennosuke asked. "Yeah, I guess fate had a sense of humor! But, anyways, after I was healed by the Spring's waters, I decided not to go after Usagi, since I knew he had defeated me that day and even I had to respect that he's a better samurai than I was! So, instead, I took residence in the forest near the Spring and lived in solitude to meditate and also to reflect upon my actions of the past! That's when I realized how right you are about me, Usagi! I really was a coward! A selfish coward who was too afraid of his own death to even stay and protect his master to the bitter end! There was no excuse for what I had done! So, after I had a vision where you and Hikiji would finally face off against each other to the death, I decided to atone for my sins by helping you avenge Lord Mifune in any way I can, without running away!" Gunichi explained.

Making sure, Aya checked the Boar's aura. "This might be hard for you to believe, Usagi, but, apparently, Gunichi is telling the whole truth!" Aya said, much to Usagi's shock and surprise. "Are you certain?" Usagi asked. "I'm not seeing a spot of deceit anywhere in his aura, and trust me, I was trained extensively in that area." Aya said. "She's right, Usagi-san! With Aya-chan's aura-reading powers, it's pretty much impossible to keep secrets from her!" Sakura said. "I have the same powers and am seeing the same thing." Vularena confirmed, making Usagi sigh. "Very well, you may help us save Lord Noriyuki." He said. "Thank you, and I swear, even if it means my own life, I will help the young lord. What's the plan?" Gunichi asked. "First things first." Lincoln said, strapping his driver on.

6-7-8-9, Shinobi!

"Rider Ninpo! Henshin Mist!" Lincoln called, entering his Super form. "I'm going to sneak into the castle to confirm their location, Sakura, if I'm not back in 5 minutes, you lead the storm inside." Lincoln instructed his girlfriend. "Understood, Lincoln-kun!" Sakura said. "I'll go with you, two ninja are better than one in this situation." Gorf said, throwing a flashbang down, creating smoke that cleared revealing Gorf in a ninja outfit of his own. "You're kind of forgetting that me and my bros are ninjas too!" Mikey said. "True, let's get going." Lincoln said as the six dashed off. "Be careful, my love." Sakura said as they arrived at a top spire in the center of the castle grounds. "Leo, Donnie, and I will check the north and south ends, Gorf, Raph, and Mikey, you check the east and west ends!" Lincoln whispered to the group. "Right!" The group whispered splitting up in their respective directions.

Inside...

Lincoln's group quickly and stealthily ran through the halls. "Seen anything yet?" Lincoln asked quietly. "Not yet." Donnie said as the clanking of a Neo-Lizardon's footsteps could be heard. "Uh oh!" They said as a Neo-Lizardon walked down a seemingly empty hallway. Once it was out of sight, Leo dropped down from the ceiling, Donnie dropped a false wall and Lincoln rose up out of the shadows. "We need to be careful, if a Neo-Lizardon or Dustard sees any of us, they will not hesitate to sound the alarm!" Lincoln said. "Duly noted!" Leo and Donnie replied.

Meanwhile...

Gorf's group was sneaking through the vents when Mikey noticed something through a grate. "Hey, one of those Dustard things is carrying something!" He whispered, noticing a Dustard carrying a fruit from the tree of life. "A fruit from the Tree of Life? But why?" Gorf pondered. King Draco then walked in, carrying the Soul Core they found, the design of which Gorf recognized. "Uh oh." He said. "We need to get out and warn the others, now!" He said frantically, heading out. "That can't be good." Raph said.

Meanwhile...

Lincoln, Leo, and Donnie were walking down a hallway lined with cell doors, looking in the openings of each one. "I found them!" Leo said, catching Lincoln and Donnie's attention. They then followed Leo to see Lord Noriyuki and Tomoe Ame chained up to a wall. "Perfect!" Lincoln said. "Tomoe, Noriyuki, it's me, Leonardo!" Leo called, catching the two's attention. "Leonardo-san? Who are these people with you?" Noriyuki asked. "This is my brother Donatello and my friend Lincoln, Usagi and Gen came to our world to ask us to help rescue you!" Leo explained. "They're alive?!" Tomoe Ame asked. "Yes, and we brought with us a small army ready to storm the castle any minute and rescue you!" Lincoln said. That made Noriyuki and Tomoe rather worried.

"Is something wrong?" Donnie asked. "Hikiji tells us that this King Draco and his army have done something to the castle in case something like that were to happen, although he did say that it was in case the Shogun were to appear." Tomoe explained. "Trust me, I've dealt with King Draco and his goons multiple times, I think I've can handle anything he throws at us!" Lincoln said as black chains wrapped around them. "Oh really?" Cerberion asked from behind. "Dang It!" Lincoln complained.

Outside...

Gorf's group regrouped with everyone. "We've got a problem! They have Orochar's Soul Core and are getting ready to revive him!" Gorf said. "Orochar?" Sakura asked in confusion. "One of King Draco's cousins, a Yamata no Orochi Animarius." Toadus explained. "Yamata no what now?" Aurachnid asked in confusion. "Yamata no Orochi, meaning "eight-branched serpent" in Japanese, was a massive serpent-like Japanese Dragon with eight heads, eight tails, bright red eyes, and a red belly, with Fir and cypress trees growing on its back and moss covering its body! It was said to be so large that its whole body covers the distance of eight valleys and eight hills!" Sakura started explaining.

"According to Japanese myth, the storm god, Susanoo, was thrown out of heaven and descended to earth at Mount Torikama near the Hi River in Izumo Province! There, he came upon an elderly couple of gods named Ashinazuchi and Tenazuchi, who were weeping! When Susanoo asked why they were crying, they explained that they once had eight daughters, but every year Yamata no Orochi demanded one as a sacrifice! They were now down to their eighth and final daughter, Kushinada-hime! Soon, it would be time for Yamata no Orochi to demand a sacrifice once more! When Susanoo explained that he was the elder brother of the sun goddess Amaterasu and offered to slay the beast in return for Kushinada hime's hand in marriage, the elderly couple agreed and Susanoo set in motion his plan to defeat the dragon! First, Susanoo transformed Kushinada-hime into a comb, which he placed in his hair! Then, he had Ashinazuchi and Tenazuchi build a large fence with eight gates! On each gate they raised a platform and on each platform they placed a vat, and then they poured extremely strong sake into each vat! When this was finished, everyone waited for the dragon to arrive! When Yamata no Orochi appeared, the dragon slithered into the fence and noticed the powerful sake before dippinh its eight heads into the vats and drank them all up! Soon, the monster fell into a deep, drunken sleep! Then, Susanoo used this chance to make his attack, where he sliced the enormous beast into tiny pieces with his sword! The carnage was so great that the Hi River flowed with blood! When Susanoo had cut the creature down to its fourth tail, his sword shattered into pieces! Upon examining the part of Yamata no Orochi's tail which broke his sword, Susanoo discovered another sword within the creature's flesh: the legendary katana Murakumo, later known today as Kusanagi no Tsurugi! Afterwards, Susanoo eventually offered Murakumo as a gift to his sister Amaterasu and was allowed to return to heaven! The sword was then passed down through the generations in the imperial line of Japan! It is one of the three pieces of imperial regalia, along with the mirror Yata no Kagami and the jewel Yasakani no Magatama! Today, in my world that is, the sword which came from Yamata no Orochi's tail is said to be safeguarded in the Atsuta Shrine in Nagoya!" She added. "Whoa! That's interesting!" Carl noted. "Sounds like a Great Dragon of Destruction that wreaked havoc on this land millennia ago, Tomoe's ancestor slayed it in battle, leaving behind only a medallion inscribed with it's image, the medallion has been a treasure of Lord Noriyuki's family ever since." Usagi noted. That made everyone gasp in shock.

"And you're saying they have a way to revive him?" Usagi asked Gorf. "Unfortunately, yes!" Gorf said. "But, how?" Gennosuke asked. "If a Soul Core is placed in a fruit from the Tree of Life, the Animarius who's Soul Core was placed is revived." Toadus explained. "That can't be good!" Yukichi said. "Question, if this Great Dragon of Destruction is really an Animarius, then how did he end up in our world?" Gennosuke asked. "That's a good question, I mean, we've had enemies fall into random dimensional rifts and use special magic trinkets to travel between dimensions." Sakura noted. "Though, our best guess must be the former method!" Clyde said. "Either way, it's been five minutes, and Lincoln-kun isn't back yet. We need to charge in there right now!" Sakura noted.

"I couldn't agree more!" A young boy's voice said as everyone turned around and saw a young anthropomorphic rabbit, who apparently is a lot shorter than either Usagi or Yukichi, possibly looking like he's around the same age as Lincoln, and was wearing a short purple Japanese robe with pink and black square patterns and a pair of wooden sandals while carrying a quiver full of arrows and a wooden bow on his back and a broken (a wooden version of a katana) in his right hand. "Jotaro? What are you doing here? Last time I saw you, you were back in my home village with your family!" Usagi asked in shock and confusion. "Yeah, I was, and I did some personal training of my own! But then, I had a sudden vision of you fighting against some mysterious guy wearing shogun armor and a mask, so I decided to come over here to help you!" The young rabbit, now identified as Jotaro, explained. "Friend of yours?" Aurachnid asked.

"It's a lot more complicated than that!" Usagi said nervously before Aya read both his and Jotaro's auras. Aya then gasped in shock. "He's your son?!" Aya shouted in shock, making everyone gasp in shock, much to Usagi's chagrin. "Okay, that aura thing is really starting to get creepy." Gen admitted. "*Sigh!* I was hoping that nobody aside from me, Jotaro's parents, Sensei Katsuichi, and Tomoe Ame knows about this secret! Jotaro is my biological son, though the reason why I never told anyone was because I wasn't even aware that I had a son, until one day, when I paid a visit to my father's grave, my childhood love, Mariko, went and told me in secret that Jotaro, who I initially thought to be the son of my rival and Mariko's husband, Kenichi, who's also the current head of my home village, was actually my son! You see, before leaving to serve Lord Mifune, I had a tryst with Mariko, which led to us conceiving Jotaro, though I really didn't know it at the time! Mariko later then discovered she was pregnant! Kenichi, who was also in love with Mariko, convinced her to marry him, so that she would not be dishonored by having a child out of wedlock! Of course, Kenichi may be my rival, but he did treat Jotaro as his own child and genuinely loves as if he were so! The very reason why Mariko never told me was simply to not make me feel obliged to resign my post and return to her! Plus, everyone thought I had died with Lord Mifune after the Battle of Adachigahara! For a while, Jotaro traveled along with me and even fought enemies many times bigger than him, all while I kept my identity as his actual father a secret in order to not alienate him from Kenichi! Plus, there were times that we had to part ways, such as when he went up to the mountains to be trained under the guidance of my old Sensei Katsuichi, a noble Lion mountain hermit and master swordsman who taught me and Kenichi in the ways of the warrior! The last time I saw Jotaro, it was after we saved my home village from being onslaughted by Mifune loyalists who were planning on killing an emissary for the Shogun who was on his way to see Lord Hikiji! Since I still wore the kamon, meaning crest, of the Mifune clan and Hikiji would no doubt hunt any Mifune loyalist down, I had to leave my childhood home once again, so Jotaro and I hugged each other one last time and said we loved each other before departing once more, all while still keeping my identity as Jotaro's real father a secret!" Usagi explained.

"Dang." Clyde said at that. "Actually, Usagi-san, or should I stay Father, I already knew you're my real father!" Jotaro said, much to Usagi's shock. "You have? When?" Usagi asked. "Before I left to study with Master Katsuichi, my mother ended up telling me the truth about you me being my real father! Heck, I even told Master Katsuichi about it afterwards! While got to admit that I was a bit shocked, I quickly came to accept it, since that made me realize why I felt so connected to you during our travels together!" Jotaro said. "I actually wanted to tell you I knew the truth badly, but I realized that you were meant to follow the warrior's road and you couldn't do that with the burden of knowing you had a child! Of course, the second to last time we parted ways, I actually went and proclaimed as loud as I could in your direction that you are my father, but I guess at that moment, you were too far away to actually hear me!" He admitted.

"Aw." Sakura said. "As heartwarming as this is, I believe we have a rescue mission to complete." Shintomaru said as he, in his Rider armor drove up on the Machine Decader with Stella. "Who are they?" Jotaro asked in confusion. "Kadogawa Shintomaru, Kamen Rider Neo-Decade, at your service, and this is my girlfriend Stella Zhau, sorry for the delay, but we got who we believe to be the perfect backup! Given the swordsman theme of today, AkaRed and I immediately knew who to search for." Shintomaru said, pointing behind him to see several figures walking up. "Allow me to introduce you to Kamiyama Touma, Shindō Rintarō, Fukamiya Kento, Ogami Ryō, Akamichi Ren, Daishinji Tetsuo, Yuri, Sophia, Shindai Reika, and her older brother Shindai Ryōga, a.k.a. Kamen Riders Saber, Blades, Espada, Buster, Kenzan, Slash, Saikou, Calibur, Sabela, and Durendal!" Shintomaru said as said riders arrived in their civilian forms, holding their respective Seiken in their hands. "They're part of an organization called Sword of Logos." Shintomaru explained. "Sword of Logos?" Sakura asked in confusion. "We're a secret global peacekeeping organization dedicated to keeping the Almighty Book and humanity safe from the Megid." Rintaro explained. "At least until after our final battle against Storius, where the Almighty Book got erased, which allowed our Earth and the corresponding Wonder World, which is a colorful fantasy world populated not only by humans, but also by different creatures, mechanical God Beasts, Animals and Story Characters, to disintegrate, which prompted Touma to sacrifice himself in order to save us while the people across the world were able to recreate both Earth and Wonder World after remembering their favorite stories!" Kento said. "Fortunately, Touma survived and is now the new Guardian of Wonder World in addition to still being the owner of his own bookstore!" Sophia said.

"When Shintomaru here tracked us down and requested our help, we knew we had to jump into action." Touma said. "Of course, we are still surprised by the fact that he's Kamen Rider Decade reincarnated!" Ryo said. "How do you think I felt? I've known him since we were 5!" Sakura said. "Well, he's not the only reincarnated Kamen Rider here!" Edge said. "Hiro Edge, Kamen Rider Neo-OOO." Edge introduced. "Eh?! You're Hino Eiji reincarnated?!" Tatsuo asked in shock. "Indeed." Edge said. "I'm Hoseki Sakura, Kamen Rider Jewel, my boyfriend Lincoln Loud, Kamen Rider LL is currently in the castle." Sakura explained. "Yeah, and he hasn't come back yet, which means something has gone wrong with the rescue mission!" Clyde said. "We'll be glad to help." Sophia said as Aya looked at everyone's aura. "Woah, I'm seeing a lot of complicated things here. Yuri, you're the living embodiment of a sword?" Aya asked upon seeing the Swordsman of light's aura.

"Nani?!" Sakura exclaimed in confusion. "How did you-" Yuri said in surprise. "I can see auras." Aya explained. "Auras?" Ren asked. "Basically it's an atmosphere or quality all living beings posses, it's normally invisible, but myself and everyone on my late mother's side of my family can see them. We can get a lot of information on a person from a simple glance." Aya explained. "*Sigh!* Truth is, I used to be human, but in order to prevent two powerful swords, the Ankokuken Kurayami and the Kougouken Saikou, from falling into the wrong hands, I had to give up my humanity and merge myself with the latter sword!" Yuri explained. "That's actually pretty cool!" Par said. "Hey, Shintomaru, where's AkaRed?" Ronnie Anne asked. "He and the backup he's bringing will be here soon, he said to go ahead and get started." Shintomaru said. "Might as well!" Sid noted. "Let's get going!" Sakura said.

Meanwhile...

Lincoln, Donnie and Leo were tossed down onto the ground. "Look who I found!" Cerberion told King Draco as he, Hebi, and Hikiji were in the palace. "What?! LL, Leonardo, and his brother Donatello?! How did they get into this world?!" King Draco asked in shock. "Why so surprised, Draco?" Lincoln asked. "Remember the time when we were able to enter Popeye's world? My sister Lisa came up with a dimension traveling device that she installed into my Vector in order to allow us to travel to other universes!" He said. "And In case you have forgotten, Drako, you had sent me into Usagi's world with the Time Sceptre, during the time you and the Ultimate Ninja became fused into Ultimate Drako!" Leo reminded.. "Oh, yeah, I had almost forgotten about that!" King Draco said while facepalming. "Hello, turtle. Remember me?" Lord Hebi asked Leonardo. "I wish I could forget!" Leo said. "Let me guess, Leo, the giant snake is this Lord Hebi you've encountered before, right?" Lincoln asked. "Unfortunately, yes!" Leo confirmed. "And by process of elimination, I'm guessing you're Lord Hikiji." Donnie said, looking at the Oni Mask wearing Samurai.

"Indeed, I am, turtle!" Lord Hikiji said. "And don't you forget it!" He said. "Just what kind of animal are you anyway and why hide your face behind a scary-looking mask?" Lincoln asked. "Wouldn't you like to know?" Hikiji taunted. That made Lincoln rather intimidated. "So, this is one of the punks that has been giving you trouble, cous?" A voice said as eight Japanese Dragon heads attached to eight serpentine necks rose up behind Draco. That's when Lincoln, Leo, and Donnie saw a male humanoid moss-covered Japanese Dragon with eight heads, eight tails, bright red eyes, a red belly, and rows of Japanese Fir and Cypress Trees growing along his back. "Indeed he is, Orochar." King Draco said. "Wait, did you just call King Drako 'cous'?" Lincoln asked in confusion. "Ah yes, Orochar, this is Kamen Rider LL, Kamen Rider LL, this is my cousin Orochar." King Draco said. "A Yamata no Orochi." Leonardo recognized. "A what, now?" Lincoln asked in confusion. "A Dragon of Japanese myth." Donnie explained.

"It pretty much looks like Orochar here, but many times larger, said to span across eight mountains and eight hills! It was said to cause trouble for an elderly couple, due to it demanding them to sacrifice each one of their eight daughters to it every year! When the time came for the eighth remaining daughter to be sacrificed, the storm god Susanoo prevented by first temporarily transforming her into a comb that he hid in his hair before he and the elderly couple built a fence with eight gates, each one having a platform holding a vat full of very strong sake, a type of alcoholic drink! Once the dragon arrived and saw the vats of sake, it didn't take long for it to drink them all with its eight heads, causing it to get so heavily drunk that Susanoo easily slayed the massive dragon and cut it to many little pieces with his sword, though he did happen to find a sword within one of its tails!" Donnie explained.

"I won't go down so easily!" Orochar declared as the palace doors burst open off their hinges. "We'll just see about that!" Sakura said as she, Clyde, Shintomaru, Edge, Aden, the Lucharangers, and the Sword of Logos Riders, all transformed, with Touma in his Xross Saber Crimson Saber form, Rintaro in his Tategami Hyoujusenki form and Kento in his Arabiana Knight form. "What?! Who are you interlopers and how did you all get past my guards and my general Buichi Toda?!" Hikiji asked in shock. "The other TMNT, our Animarius allies, and the natives of this planet are taking care of those guys." Sakura said as everyone mentioned was taking care of the forces outside with Raph and Mikey in their Ultra Armors. "Cowabunga!" Mikey shouted while fighting, much to Raph's annoyance. "Mikey, how many times do I have to tell you, NO COWABUNGA!" He said angrily. "This is not the time for complaining about Michelangelo-san's weird catchphrases!" Usagi said. "He's right, you know!" Gennosuke said as he took down a few Mogura Ninjas. "Weird catchphrases or not, it's going to take a lot more than you lot to-" Buichi started saying before men wearing all black rushed in carrying white banners.

"Now what?!" Kagemaru, the leader of the Neko Ninja, asked in annoyance. "Where did these Kurokos come from?" Gennosuke asked in confusion. "Where did these Kurokos come from?" Gennosuke asked in confusion. "That would be the backup I brought!" AkaRed said as he stepped to the side to reveal Shiba Takeru, his adoptive mother Shiba Kaoru, Ikenami Ryunosuke, Shiraishi Mako, Tani Chiaki, Hanaori Kotoha, and Umemori Genta, aka the Samurai Sentai Shinkenger! "Shodou Phone!" The first five Shinkengers and Kaoru called, pulling out their transformation devices. "Sushi Changer!" Genta said, pulling out his own. "Ippitsu Soujo!/Ikkan Kenjo!" They all called. Then the first five Shinkengers drew their respective colored Kanji in the air while Genta texted his own Kanji for Light into existence. Before they all transformed.

"ShinkenRed, Shiba Takeru!"
"Hime ShinkenRed, Shiba Kaoru!"
"The same Blue, Ikenami Ryunosuke!"
"The same Pink, Shiraishi Mako!"
"The same Green, Tani Chiaki!"
"The same Yellow, Hanaori Kotoha!"
"The same Gold, Umemori Genta!"

Blue, Pink, Green, Yellow, and Gold took kneeling stances. "The Samurai Sentai authorized by Providence!" Takeru and Kaoru chanted. "Shinkenger!" They all called. "Going Forth!" They all added. "Okay, a couple of questions, why did you guys say 'The same' instead of Shinken? And what do you mean by 'Authorized by Providence?" Andros asked in confusion. "Well for the roll call thing, it's tradition, I guess we never really thought about it." Ryunnosuke admitted. "But, what does the whole "Authorized by Providence" part mean exactly?" Phixia asked. "Providence is usually another word for Heaven!" AkaRed answered. "Oh." Andros and Phixia said, still a little confused. "Ryunosuke, Chiaki, with me!" Takeru said. "Mako, Kotoha, with me!" Kaoru said. "Genta, get inside the castle and rescue the prisoners!" Takeru told his childhood friend. "Right! Lets go, DaiGoyou!" Genta said as he held the Secret Lantern DaiGoyou in his Paper Lantern and Jitte Modes. "Okay, Obayun (Boss)!" DaiGoyou replied. "Oh, but first, that freakishly smart little girl we met in that other world and I worked together to make these!" Genta said, handing everyone a Secret Analysis Case Inromaru and copy of the Super Shinkenger secret disk, except for Takeru who pulled out the Hyper Shinkenger disk.

"That little girl was freakishly smart, wasn't she?" Mako asked. "Insanely!" Kotoha confirmed. "I take serious offense to my intelligence being referred to as 'freakishly' and 'insanely'!" Lisa said in offense as she appeared in the battlefield with Mecha-Pollon. "I mean I get it, I'm way smarter than a lot of people my age, but you could use nicer adjectives!" She complained. "Gomen ne, Lisa-chan!" Genta, Mako, and Konoha apologized. Mecha Pollon whimpered before nuzzling Lisa with his robotic head. "Oh, thanks, Mecha-Pollon, I needed that!" Lisa said upon cheering up a bit. "Anyway, let's get going!" Takeru said as they all loaded the disks into the Inromarus.

Super Disc!

While Takeru loaded a different disc in.

Hyper Disc!

They all entered said alternate forms. "Nice!" Aden said. "Let's go!" Takeru called as he, Ryunnosuke, and Chiaki charged into the throne room to help the Kamen Riders and Lucharangers while the girls stayed behind to help with Hikiji's forces and Genta with DaiGoyou went off to find Noriyuki and Tomoe. "It doesn't matter how many of you there are! You will all fall!" Buichi declared. "Allow me to test that theory!" Usagi declared, pointing his sword at Hikiji's general. "And me!" Gunichi declared, aiming his own sword. "Gunichi?" Buichi asked before laughing maniacally. "So, the coward who abandoned Mifune and fled the battlefield has decided to grow a spine!" He added. "I have been given a chance to rectify my cowardly ways, I will not squander it!" Gunichi declared, charging forward. "And I'm here to make you pay for betraying Lord Mifune, Buichi!" Usagi declared as he too charged forwards. Back inside, the battle was raging on it's own. "Hello, Jewel." Cerberion said, appearing in front of Sakura. "Cerberion." Sakura said in anger and fright. "I take it Naturia has told you of my plans for the eclipse?" Cerberion asked. "She's told me more than that. Let me ask you something, Cerberion, did you know that my mama was pregnant when YOU KILLED HER?!" Sakura asked angrily.

"What?! Pregnant?" Cerberion asked in shock and confusion. "That's right! She was carrying my Ototo and Imoto, but then you killed them, my papa, and Oniichan!" Sakura said, starting to tear up under her helmet. "I see! To think that I actually killed two more descendants of Ryu and Naturia without even realizing it!" Cerberion noted. Before laughing maniacally, much to Sakura's shock. "How can you laugh at this so easily!? They didn't even get the chance to live!" Sakura asked, continuing to cry. "So what? As far as I'm concerned, this means that I have managed to prevent two more threats to the Empire from coming into existence, which means that, once I finally kill you in our upcoming battle, the bloodline of Ryu and Naturia will go extinct like the Dodo birds!" Cerberion said with a malicious grin. "You heartless monster!" Sakura said, breaking down and crying as Cerberion continued to laugh out loud before Chiaki struck him with a Kabuto Disc enhanced Wood Spear. "That's for making the little lady cry!" He declared.

Ryunnosuke then came and fired at Cerberion with a Kajiki Disc enhanced Water Arrow. "And that's for killing five innocent people, two of whom didn't even get to live!" He declared. After that, Takeru came and attacked Cerberion with the Kyoryumaru multiple times in a row. "What was that for?" Cerberion asked in confusion. "Simple, I don't like you. Why? Because you're beyond cruel, especially by tormenting a samurai's descendant for your own personal thrills!" Takeru said with stoic anger. "He started it by preventing us from achieving our goals, making one of our generals and lieutenants defect, and sealing most of us in a stone tablet!" Cerberion said angrily. "That's no excuse for your cruelty!" Takeru retorted. "Not even Dokoku Chimatsuri was as ruthless as you! And he wanted to use human tears to fill up the Sanzu River and flood the Earth!" Takeru said. "I don't know who that guy is, but he ain't got nothing on me!" Cerberion said.

Meanwhile...

Genta was running through where the prisoners were held. "Come on, where are they?" He asked himself before encountering a swarm of Neo Lizardons. "Enemies at twelve o'clock!" DaiGoyou said. Genta laughed. "If you metal menaces think you can stop us, you've got another think coming!" He declared. "DaiGoyou, let them have it!" Genta said. "You got it, Obayun!" DaiGoyou said as he launched a barrage of HiDen Discs at the Neo-Lizardons. These obliterated the robotic lizards. "Nice shooting, DaiGoyou!" Genta said. Before seeing Tomoe and Noriyuki. "Are you Tomoe-san and Lord Noriyuki?" Genta asked. "Yes! Who are you?" Lord Noriyuki asked. "I'm ShinkenGold, Umemori Genta, don't worry, I'm with the good guys!" Genta explained, pulling out the Sakanamaru and using it's blade to break the chains strapping Tomoe and Noriyuki to the wall. "Thank You, Genta-san!" Tomoe said. "We must warn you though, Hikiji has done something to the castle, we don't know what, but it sounds like he's prepared for invaders!" Noriyuki said. "Especially against the Shogun and his army!" Tomoe added."Well whatever it is can't be worse than some of the Gedoushu my friends and I have faced." Genta said, leading Tomoe and Noriyuki away.

Meanwhile...

At the battlefield, Master Splinter and Kakera were teaming up against the Neko Ninja leader Kagemaru. "You Rats don't stand a chance!" Kagemaru declared. "You shouldn't underestimate us, especially since I'm a Ninjutsu Master!" Master Splinter said. "And I'm a professional mystic!" Kakera finished as the two rats stood their ground. Then, Master Splinter used his Ninjutsu skills to keep with Kagemaru's skills while Kakera provided backup with conjuring fireballs at the Neko Ninja leader. Kagemaru tried to dodge it, but Aden and Azalee were able to assist the two rats by conjuring some chains out of the ground. This caused the Neko Ninja leader to yelp in pain at the fireballs hit him and engulfed him in flames. "Yes!" Aden said, only to be shocked as the flames died out to reveal a wooden dummy in place of Kagemaru. "Dang it!" Azalee said. "Be careful, children, like any ninja, he's bound to strike anywhere at any moment!" Master Splinter warned.

"Fortunately, I have this!" Aden said, summoning the familiar of the Ouroblade who immediately sniffed out Kagemaru before wrapping it's body around the Neko ninja. "Hey! Let go of me!" Kagemaru complained. "Not on your life, pal!" Aden said. However, what Aden didn't realize was that Kagemaru had one hand free, giving the Neko Clan leader the opportunity to reach into his shirt and pull out a few shuriken, which he then threw at the two rats and the Alquemie siblings. However, those shuriken were intercepted by a bunch of kunai knifes, stopping the weapons in midair. That's when everyone looked around to see Chizu (A female anthropomorphic cat wearing black ninja clothing with a sliver headband and a sword carried on her back) leaping onto the scene, much to Kagemaru's anger. "Chizu!" Kagemaru said angrily. "Looks like I have made it in time!" Chizu noted. "You have some nerve to show up after you've betrayed the clan!" Kagemaru said angrily. "Funny, from what I recall, you had me outed for my constant failures to kill Usagi and made me a fugitive after you had taken over leadership of the Neko Clan and tried to have me assassinated!" Chizu retorted sarcastically. "That's because I believe myself to be a far better kashira (leader) of the Neko Clan than a weak female like you!" Kagemaru said.

Azalee scoffed at that. "Rude!" She said. "Not you, her!" Kagemaru said while pointing at Chizu. "Still rude!" Azalee said. "Yeah! Since when is okay for only males to become leaders and not females?" Aden asked in annoyance. "I mean, LuchaPurple is female, and she's my team's leader!" Azalee pointed out. Kagemaru scoffed at that. "Obviously, you've got a bad taste in leaders!" Kagemaru said. Oh, you did not just say that!" Sid said, offended by Kagemaru's insult to her lover. She then went and let out a sonic scream at Kagemaru, hurting his ears. "YEOWCH! What's with you?" Kagemaru asked. "Not only did you just insult our leader, but you also insulted my girlfriend!" Sid said angrily. "What?! Girlfriend?! I've seen romantic relationships between men, but between women?! That's completely unheard of!" Kagemaru exclaimed in shock. "In our world, both are pretty common, just look at LuchaCyan and Orange." Azalee said, pointing to Becky and Dodge. "Or Desco and Alraunellie." She added, pointing to the two.

"Well, I still believe that men are better leaders than women, especially since the latter obviously lacks the upper body strength that men have!" Kagemaru said. "Two of my elder sisters beg to differ!" Lisa pointed out. "And so do we!" Becky and Dodge said angrily as they both cracked their knuckles before they then charged towards Kagemaru and gave him one heck of a beating. "OW! OW! OW! OW! AAAHHHHHHHH! AAAHHHHHHHH! HOW ARE YOU TWO SO FREAKISHLY STRONG?!" Kagemaru asked as he was brutalized. "Just be glad neither of the sisters I mentioned are here." Lisa said. After Becky and Dodge finished with their pummeling, Kagemaru was seen all battered and bruised. "What do we do with him now?" Aden asked. "Normally, I say we kill him, but given how incredibly weakened he is now, I say he's so pathetic that death is too good for him!" Chizu said. "So instead, let's chain him up and leave his fate up to the Shogun to decide." She said.

"Fine by us!" Aden and Azalee noted as they used their Alchemy powers to conjure up some chains that they wrap around the severely injured Kagemaru. "I must admit, you two have quite impressive magical powers." Kakera said. "Actually, it's Alchemy, Aden and I come from a long line of Alchemists." Azalee explained. "Thing is, Alchemy is more closer to science than it is to magic!" Aden said. "It's a little complicated to explain." Phoelacandra and Ouros said. "Oh, I know what Alchemy is, though I have never practiced it myself! Usually, there are some people in this world that use it for creating medicines or refining silver!" Kakera said. "Yes, but thanks to my bond with Phoela, Aden's partnership with Ouros, and a secret technique that has been handed down in our family that makes homunculi patterned after various animals, we're able to take that to a whole new level." Azalee explained. "Though, due to the deaths of our parents, me and my twin sister, along with her boyfriend Edge, are now orphans!" Aden said. "Unfortunately." Azalee said sadly. "I feel terribly sorry for your loss, young ones!" Kakera said.

"Thanks, fortunately we still have family in the form of our Aunt, Uncle, and Cousins who said we and Edge can move in with them once all this is over." Azalee said. "Though, we're currently living with Lincoln and his family so that we can hide from the people who caused our parents' deaths, especially their leader Stephano Inverso!" Aden said. "Who?" Kakera asked in confusion. "They're referring to me!" Stephano, already in his Kamen Rider Weather form, said as he menacingly walked towards the Alquemie twins. "Stephano!" Aden said angrily, preparing the Ouroblade. "That's the one who killed your parents? But, he's clearly a child himself!" Kakera said in shock. "Don't let my age fool you, rat! I'm just as vicious now as I was in my previous life." Stephano said. "Past life?" Splinter and Kakera asked in confusion. "Isaka Shinkuro, the Weather Dopant, an enemy of Kamen Riders W and Accel, but mostly Accel." Edge explained.

"Isaka Shinkuro, the Weather Dopant, an enemy of Kamen Riders W and Accel, but mostly Accel." Edge explained. "With the help of Drako and Futaba, I was reborn into what you see here." Stephano said. "Then, why did you kill the parents of these children?!" Kakera asked. "Yeah, why?!" Azalee asked in anger. "Other than the fact that they refused to pay me and my men any protection money and wouldn't tell me where they were hiding that book of Alchemy recipes that one of my men heard rumors about, they really ticked me off by not only insulting me because of my age, but also had the audacity to say that I'm exactly like my father when I had mentioned him, which isn't entirely true! Seriously, I take my physical health much more seriously than my old man ever did, especially since I don't laze around all day and eat nothing but junk food, including Pizza, which I hate the most, like he did, cause that's what caused him to eventually get a heart attack in the first place!" Stephano angrily ranted. Aden, Azalee, and Edge clenched their fists in anger.

"Yurusenai! You killed our parents for something as ridiculous as that?!" Edge asked angrily. "Well we can't let you get away with that, Ouroblade!" Aden called, gathering energy in his sword akin to the way Gavan, Sharivan, and Shaider do. At the same time, Edge loaded the Kyoryu Core Medals into his driver and ran the O Scanner over them.

Ptera! Tricera! Tyranno! PuToTyrannosaurus!

Entering his final form, Edge yelled before slamming his fist into the ground and pulling out the Medagabyru. Of course, as soon as Azalee drew out two swords from a pair of nearby stones, she had noticed that the eyes from Edge's Putotyra Combo started turning from green to bright purple. "Uh, Shintomaru? Should we be concerned about that?" Azalee asked, directing Shintomaru to Edge's eyes. "Yabei (Oh No)! The only time when his eyes turn purple in that form is when he goes berserk!" Shintomaru said in fright. "And that's bad, right?" Azalee asked nervously. "Very! When he goes berserk, he can't tell friend from foe!" Shintomaru said. "But, didn't you tell me that in previous life that he had gained complete control over the Purple Core Medals sometime after he defeated Maki?" Stella asked. "He did, but what Stephano just said about why he killed his, Azalee, and Aden's parents must have driven him over the edge, no pun intended!" Shintomaru said in worry.

As he said that, Edge yelled furiously as Pteranodon wings manifested on his head and a T-Rex tail manifested onto his rear end. Stephano laughed in glee. "Looks like I won't have to act after all!" He said. However, upon hearing Stephano's voice, Edge went and charged towards him with the Medagabyru. "How do we snap him out of it?" Ouros asked Shintomaru. "Last time I checked, it took either Hina or Ankh to snap him out of it, being his close friends and all!" Shintomaru answered. "But since neither of them are here at the moment." Shintomaru said, casting a glance to Azalee. "His girlfriend should work." He said. "Me?" Azalee asked. "You have any better ideas?" Shintomaru asked as Edge loaded a Cell Medal into the Medagabyru.

PuToTyrannoHissats!

"If you do, you might want to hurry!" Shintomaru warned. As he said that, Edge charged up the Medagabyru in its Axe Mode with purple energy before performing a 360 degree slash at Stephano, though the latter was able to dodge that attack in time without any injuries. "Whoa! Looks like I have to get serious with this guy!" Stephano said as he then turned the left handle on his Weather Driver once.

Weather Attack! Scorching Sun!

That's when his sun-shaped right shoulder pauldron started glowing while intense Solar energy gathered into his right fist to form into a solar energy sphere, right before Stephano charged towards Edge and landed a solar-powered punch onto his face, sending Core Medal-wielding Kamen Rider sailing across the ground. "Edge!" Azalee said in worry as Aden ordered his familiar to wrap around Stephano. "Ouroboros Break!" He called, performing his finisher. Aden then slashed across Stephano's chest, causing sparks to fly as the young Mafia boss was sent sailing towards a tree before crashing into it *CRASH!*. This caused the Dark rider to be forced out of his transformation. "*Groan!* I'll definitely remember this in the morning!" Stephano said in obvious pain. "Consider yourself lucky I'm not willing to hurt you like you did my parents, you coward!" Aden said, pointing the tip of his sword in Stephano's face.

"Hmph! If I were you, I'd be more worried about your friend here, because he doesn't seem to be done with me yet in spite of that punch I gave him!" Stephano said as Edge, having managed to shrug off Stephano's solar-powered punch, can be seen with his eyes still purple. While Aden was distracted, Stephano pulled out a remote and pushed a button, summoning a portal back to the Animarius Castle. After managed to pull himself out of the tree, Stephano said "I'd like to stick around, but I better get going!" before leaving through the portal as it closed. "Dang it!" Aden complained. "Edge, my love, please calm down!" Azalee begged her boyfriend. Edge then responded by looking at Azalee. His eyes started flickering. "I know you're mad about what Stephano did to our parents, I am too, but straight up killing him isn't going to solve anything! How would our parents feel if you started killing people for the sake of revenge?! I love you, Edge! Please, remember your desire to protect everyone, including me!" Azalee begged as she approached Edge. Edge gripped his head in pain and shouted.

Afterwards, Azalee grabbed Edge's driver and removed it from his waist, forcing Edge to cancel out his Rider form. "Azalee? What happened? All I remember is Stephano laughing and then I blacked out." Edge said before noticing what his girlfriend was holding and which Core Medals were in the slots. "Ah man, did I go berserk?" He asked in frustration. "Yes!" Azalee, Aden, and Shintomaru said. "Ankh is going to go crazy when I tell him about this!" Edge complained. "I was so worried about you, Edge! Please don't scare me like that again!" Azalee said while crying. "Aw, how sickeningly sweet." Kagemaru said sarcastically. "Oh, Shut Up!" Chizu said as she bonked Kagemaru on the head with her fist, knocking the Neko Clan leader out cold. As this was going on, Usagi and Gunichi were still fighting Buichi. "Clearly, you two have improved your skills since I have last saw either of you!" Buichi said. "Clearly, I need an edge here." The Rhino said before noticing Jotaro fighting off the footsoldiers and got a cowardly idea. "Ah, perfect!" He said with a wicked grin.

He then jumped up and grabbed Jotaro from behind. "Surrender or the kid gets it!" Buichi declared, placing his sword against Jotaro's throat. This made both Usagi and Gunichi gasp in shock and appall. "So what's it going to be, Usa-" Buichi asked before a blaster shot could be heard, as the Rhino let go and fell over in pain revealing Kaoru with a Rekka Daizantou in one hand and the Mogyu Bazooka in the other. "Threatening harm to an innocent child, have you no shame?" Kaoru asked in disappointment. At that moment, Jotaro went over to Usagi's side. "Sorry, Father! He grabbed me before I could react!" Jotaro apologized. "It's alright, Jotaro, I'm just glad you're safe. Thank you." Usagi told Kaoru. "You're welcome!" Kaoru said. However, Buichi weakly got up, clearly on his last leg, and pulled out a small dagger, clearly preparing to stab Usagi with it. "Usagi, look out!" Gunichi said upon seeing that, and jumping in between the Rabbit and his assailant, taking the dagger himself.

Everyone gasped as Gunichi was literally stabbed in the back by Buichi. Blood started pouring out of Gunichi's mouth as he fell to his knees before falling over, revealing Buichi who looked pale at Usagi's angry face before he and Kaoru struck him with their swords, putting the Rhino out of his misery as he fell backwards, dead. Afterwards, everyone started rushing over to Gunichi, who was clearly alive, but also dying. "Gunichi! Why?" Usagi asked. "Someone needs to avenge Lord Mifune, and it'd be better if that someone was you rather than a coward like me." Gunichi said weakly. "No, what you have done today proves that you're not a coward anymore!" Usagi said. "Thank you for the second chance, it means more to me than I could put into words." Gunichi said. "By the way, here's something that you should see!" Gunichi said as reached into a pocket in his armor and pulled out a rolled up paper scroll before giving it to Usagi. "Gunichi, what is this?" Usagi asked. "It's directions I've written down, specifically about the location to the Healing Spring of Life! I hope that you and Lord Noriyuki would put this to good use and keep it out of the hands of those who want to abuse the Spring's power!" Gunichi explained.

"With this we can heal you!" Usagi realized. "No! I had my second chance, I don't need another, just make sure what is written on that scroll doesn't fall into the wrong hands." Gunichi insisted. "Do you promise?" He asked. "*Sigh!* Yes, Gunichi, I promise to keep this away from evil hands!" Usagi answered. "Thank You! It's been an honor to fight alongside you after getting my second chance in life! I hope you avenge Lord Mifune and finally bring Hikiji down for good! So long and good luck, old friend!" Gunichi said with a smile before succumbing to his wounds and passing in Usagi's arms. "A Samurai through and through, may his soul find peace in heaven." Kaoru said, closing Gunichi's eyes. Everyone else started mourning over Gunichi's death.

Meanwhile, inside the castle...

Clyde was fighting against Shibogumon, already in his Kamen Rider Armadeiras form. "Still upset about your mother, Anansi?" Shibogumon asked. "Obviously! Just what on Earth is wrong with you?! How could you be so cruel enough to kill my mother, the one person I haven't seen in twelve years?!" Clyde asked angrily. "It's just who I am. Maybe I should go after your adoptive fathers or girlfriend next!" Shibogumon taunted. "Don't...you...dare!" Clyde said angrily. "Why not? It's been a while since I've killed someone and I'm itching to do so again!" Shibogumon said before laughing maniacally. However, his laughter was cut short by Ryo and Tetsuo as they struck him with the Dougoken Gekido and Onjuuken Suzune. "Hey! What was that for?!" Shibogumon complained. "As a father myself, I cannot stand for those who laugh in the face of the bond between parent and child, and then proceed to threaten to break said bond!" Ryo said angrily.

"As for my reasons, it's because you're despicable!" Tetsuo said in disgust. Shibogumon growled at the Swordsmen of Earth and Sound. "Nobody interrupts my fight against Anansi and gets away with it alive!" Shibogumon angrily declared. "We'll see about that!" Ryo said as he and Tetsuo pulled out a pair of secondary Ride Books. They then opened the books.

Jackun to Domamenoki (Jack and the Earth Bean's Tree)! Toaru shonen ga futo te ni ireta omame ga kyodaina ki to naru fushigi na hanashi... (A mysterious story about a bean suddenly obtained by a boy becoming a huge tree...)
Bremen no Rock Band (Rock Band of Bremen)! Toaru tatakai o shii rareta doubutsutachi ga kanaderu shouri no shijuusou... (There was a victory quartet of animals that were forced to fight in battle...)

Placing the books in their Seikens, Ryo and Tetsuo received the power ups from the Ride Books.

Jackun to Domamenoki! Ittou Ryodan! Butta Gire! Dogo! Dogo! Dogouken Gekido! Gekido Juuhan! Zettai soukou no taiken ga hokuhou yori ouinaru ichigeki o tatakikomu! (Jackun to Domamenoki! Slice in half! Smashing slash! Dogo! Dogo! Dogouken Gekido! Gekido reprint! The absolutely armored large sword delivers a mighty blow from the north!)
Bremen no Rock Band! Juuken Gekidan! Ken de ikuze! No! No! Juu de go! Go! Bang! Bang! Onjuuken Suzune! Suzune Gakushou! Amai miwaku no juuken ga, okashina rhythm de beat wo kiri kizamu! (Bremen no Rock Band! Bayonet bullet! Go with a sword! No! No! Go with a gun! Go! Bang! Bang! Onjuuken Suzune! Suzune movement! A sweet and charming bayonet cuts the beat with a strange rhythm!)

"Don't forget about me! Battle Spider Mode!" Clyde called, entering his own secondary form. "Three against one, huh? Fine then, I'll manage against the odds!" Shibogumon said. "Allow us to help!" Futaba declared as he and Akuji, the latter still in his Mitsuhide form, appeared. "Who are those two?" Ryo asked in confusion. "I am the Child Angel Futaba, you may call me Kamen Rider Tetra." Futaba said. "And I am Sone Akuji, a director of Foundation X's Eyecon Division! But, you can call me Kamen Rider Mortem!" Akuji said. "Foundation X?! I thought those guys were history!" Tetsuo said in shock. "Unfortunately no, they've even started making Zodiarts." Clyde said. That made both Ryo and Tetsuo groan in complaint. "Tell us about it." Aurachnid said. "And why did this guy call himself the Child Angel? I can clearly see he's a child, but an angel? I don't get it!" Tetsuo said while pointing at Futaba. "He's part of a race of human hating beings called the Shadow Angels." Clyde explained. "Not only that, but Futaba here has a very serious grudge against humanity ever since some humans captured him and then killed him for his feathers!" Aurachnid explained. "Thanks to Drako and Stephano, I was able to be ressurected though, as well as some of my fellow Shadow Angels." Futaba explained.

"That's bad, right?" Tetsuo asked. "If the video Zen sent us with the Vectors is anything to go by it is." Aurachnid said. That made both Ryo and Tetsuo shudder at that. "Yeah, crazy." Clyde said. "Anyway, let's fight, shall we?" Futaba said as he drew out his sword. "Gladly!" The three good Kamen Riders called, charging.

Meanwhile...

As the others were still fighting Orochar, Hebi, and Hikiji, a ninja rushed over to Hikiji. "The Shogun and an army have been spotted on the horizon, Lord Hikiji!" The ninja reported. "The Shogun and his Army, you say?" Hikiji asked. "Perfect!" He said. As he said that, horns were heard blowing as the Shogun (Who's an anthropomorphic Asiatic Black Bear a.k.a. Moon Bear wearing armor with a crescent moon-shaped crest on his helmet), riding on horseback, and his army (which primarily consisted of anthropomorphic cats carrying spears in their hands and accompanied by variously colored horses) marched towards the battlefield. "The shogun!" Usagi realized. "That's the Shogun?" Mikey asked in confusion while pointing at the bear in question. "That's him alright, and he may be in danger!" Noriyuki said as Genta led him and Tomoe out. "Lord Noriyuki! Tomoe Ame! Thank goodness, you're alright!" Usagi said as he greeted. "So, what's this about the Shogun being in danger?" Gennosuke asked.

"Hikiji told us about how this 'King Draco' person helped him set a trap for the Shogun!" Tomoe said before noticing Gunichi and Buichi's deceased bodies and gasping in shock. "What happened here?" She asked. "Buichi tried to stab me, but Gunichi sacrificed himself to make up for his past mistake." Usagi explained. "He also gave me this!" He added as he presented them the same scroll Gunichi gave him before he died. "He said it's directions to the Healing Spring of Life." Usagi said. "The legendary Spring with waters that can heal anything, even death?!" Tomoe asked in surprise. "Yes, he said that instead of using it on him, we make sure that what's on this scroll not fall into the wrong hands." Usagi explained, handing it to Noriyuki. "He had intended on giving it to you." Usagi explained. "Whoa!" Noriyuki said. "We shall honor Gunichi's last wish." Tomoe promised, Noriyuki nodding in agreement.

"Thank you! I'm sure Gunichi's spirit would be happy to know that!" Usagi said. "For now though, we need to-" Usagi started saying before the ground started shaking. "Now what?!" Raph asked in annoyance. Inside the castle, everyone was feeling the shaking. "Now that the Shogun has arrived, it is time to unveil my secret weapon!" Hikiji declared. "And while you're doing that, Cicadeath, Flygor, fire the enlargement ray!" King Draco ordered via a walkie talkie. "You got it, King Draco!" Cicadeath said, aiming the enlargement ray at an open portal and firing. At that moment, the beam hit Orochar. Causing him to grow as he got outside while the Castle began transforming. "What's going on here?" The Shogun asked in confusion as he saw this. "We'd better get out of here!" Lincoln told everyone who was still in the castle as they rushed towards the exit.

As soon as everyone got outside, they all saw the castle transforming, with its two lower sides sliding out robotic feet and forming the lower legs, the upper center opening up and allowing the entrance to fold into it before a golden armored chest piece folded out of upper center and closed onto it to form the chest, the rooftop splitting into halves that slid away from each other to form the shoulder armor, the structures above the two lower sides sliding out robotic fists to form the arms, and, finally, a robotic head resembling Lord Hikiji's head, complete with helmet and a face resembling his Oni mask, popped out from the top of the castle's center. Afterwards, the transformed castle started standing up from its initial sitting position, right before it did a few flexing poses as Lord Hikiji himself announced "KARAKURI WARRIOR! RISE UP!""What in all of existence is that thing?!" The Shogun asked in shock. "What do you think, Shogun? Does the sight of my machination make you tremble in fear?" Hikiji asked. "Not as much as we're about to make you!" Lincoln said. "Vectors, Launch!" He, Sakura, Clyde, and Leo called, releasing Vectors LL, Jewel, Anansi, and TMNT. "Alebrije Henkei!" The Lucharangers called, taking their Mech forms. "We're going to need Samurai Ha-Oh for this one!" Takeru told the Shinkengers pulling out the Shishi Origami and Tora Disc. "Right!" The Shinkengers called as Ryunnosuke pulled out the Ryu Origami and Kajiki Disc, Mako the Kame Origami, Chiaki the Kuma Origami and Kabuto Disc, Kotoha the Saru Origami, Genta dialed the command for the Ebi and Ika Origami on his Sushi Changer and Kaoru pulled out the Ushi Disc. "What's with the discs here?" Mikey asked in confusion. "It's part of their identity." AkaRed said. "Okay, then what are those shapes?" Mikey asked, referring to the Shishi, Ryu, Kame, Kuma, and Saru Origami. "Another part." Takeru said as he and the core five Shinkengers placed their origami on the ground and using the Shodou Phones drew the Kanji for 'Big'. That caused the five main Origami to enlarge and transform into their animal modes. Before Takeru, Ryunnosuke, and Chiaki loaded the discs into their Inromarus, summoning their secondary Origami.

Tora Disc!
Kajiki Disc!
Kabuto Disc!

At the same time, Genta summoned both the Ika and Ebi Origami from their Aquarium in his Sushi Cart before they enlarged to giant size.

Hei, Omachi! Ika Origami! Ebi Origami!

While Kaoru placed the Origami Beast Disc into her Inromaru and spun her sword, summoning the Ushi Origami.

Origami Beast Disc!

"A Lion, Tiger, Dragon, Swordfish, Bear, Beetle, Turtle, Monkey, Squid, Lobster, and Bull? Oh My!" Mikey Joked. "Actually, Mikey, while Kajiki sometimes translates as "Swordfish" in English, it actually refers to a specific relative of the Swordfish, known as the Blue Marlin!" Donnie said. "You should tell that to KajikiYellow of the Uchuu Sentai Kyuranger." AkaRed said as the Vectors beamed their pilots as well as the Sword of Logos riders on board. "Whoa! Sugoi!" Touma said. "TMNT formation!" Lincoln called. "Oh, and if you guys start getting this really intense feeling, don't worry, that's normal." He told the Sword of Logos riders. "Eh? What is he talking about?" Reika asked in confusion. "You'll see!" Sakura said. "Ninja Turtle Gattai! Go Aquarion!" Leo called as Aquarion LL was formed before Vector TMNT split up to form the secondary formation. "AQUARION! TMNT!" Leo called out as Aquarion TMNT did a ninja pose. Despite all the training they went through, the Sword of Logos riders found themselves panting from the combination.

"I've never felt anything like that in my entire existence!" Yuri said. "Me neither!" Sophia said. "Just what was that energy?!" Ryoga asked. "Just a little something that occurs every time we form Aquarion." Sakura explained. "Dai Alebrije Gattai!" The Lucharangers called. "Zen Samurai Gattai!" Takeru called as LuchaPrime and Samurai Ha-Oh were formed. "LuchaPrime, awaken!" The Lucharangers called. "Samurai Ha-Oh, United under Providence!" The Shinkingers called. "Ha-Oh? What does that mean?" Aurachnid asked in confusion. "Supreme King or Lord, depending on the context!" Sakura answered. "Which definitely fits here." Sakura said, noticing the sheer size and design of the Shinkengers' ultimate mecha. "Yeah, especially considering that it's made of eleven components like LuchaPrime!" Lincoln noted. "Either way, Skyring descend!" Ronnie Anne called, summoning the floating battle arena. "Is that a wrestling stadium in the sky?!" Ryo asked in shock. "That's the Sky Ring! Not only does it fit with our Luchador motif, but we use it to prevent collateral damage whenever we fight giant monsters!" Ronnie Anne explained. This made the Shinkengers wince upon remembering their previous battles. "Yeah, good call, I definitely remember slicing a thankfully uninhabited and insured building in half the first time we used Shinken-oh in battle." Chiaki admitted.

"Yikes!" Mikey said. "Well, I'm not going up there even if I want to, mostly because I cannot fly!" Orochar said. "My Karakuri Warrior does have flight systems, thanks to the contributions of the Animarius Empire, but before I go up there for battle, I want to take one single hostage!" Hikiji declared as he had the Karakuri Warrior reach down with its left hand and grab the Shogun from his horse, making everyone gasp in shock. "Let me go this instant!" The Shogun demanded. "Oh, I wouldn't recommend that, especially considering how high up you are in my Karakuri Warrior's left fist right now!" Hikiji warned, making the Shogun look down and gasp as he saw how high above the ground he is. "Besides, having you being splattered all over the ground from a single drop would be too easy for me anyway! Having you at my mercy as I finally overthrow you and take over this world, on the other hand, would be a much more sweet victory for me!" Hikiji added.

"WE WON'T LET THAT HAPPEN!" The Kamen Riders, Lucharangers, Shinkengers, and TMNT declared as Aquarion fired up it's rocket boosters and LuchaPrime spread it's wings before the two flew up to the Skyring while the arena's teleportation system beamed Samurai Ha-Oh, Orochar, and Karakuri Warrior onboard as well. "Was that a teleportation beam?" Orochar asked in confusion. "Added for our enemies and allies who can't fly." Ronnie Anne explained. "And I thought the trip I went through to this world a very long time ago was weird!" Orochar noted. "Yeah, that's brings us to an interesting question, how exactly did you end up in this dimension?" Donnie asked. "Funny story about that." Orochar started saying.

"About a millennia ago, back in the world I came from, I was just minding my own business, wreaking some havoc in some parts of East Asia, mostly in the Russian Far East and Sakhalin, until some sort of dimensional rift opened up the air just a few inches above the ground! Naturally, out of curiosity, I decided to take a peak through it and saw this world that's strangely similar to Japan, albeit being populated by anthropomorphic animals instead of humans! So, I decided to enter this world and wreak havoc there in order to make it ready to be conquered by the Animarius Empire, once my cous and the Generals finally return that is! Of course, upon entering this world, the dimensional rift suddenly closed right behind me, which meant that I was trapped here until somebody from the Empire could find me! So, I decided to wreak havoc anyway, just to pass up the time and ease my boredom! Of course, after a few weeks of destroying villages and decimating populations, I was suddenly confronted by this cat samurai, who wasn't afraid to face me like everyone else!" Orochar explained.

"He challenged me to a duel, I accepted, and he ended up breaking my Soul Core, making me explode! Luckily, the core was still attached to me, so I was reverted to a Soul Core, and King Draco was able to revive me!" He added. "What is a Soul Core?" Genta asked in confusion. "It's these medallions on an Animarius' left shoulder." Lincoln started explaining. "They're basically an Animarius's literal lifeline! When they're destroyed while still attached to their left shoulder, that Animarius would revert back into the Soul Core, but when it gets placed in a fruit from the Animarius Empire's Tree of Life, it would resurrect that Animarius!" He explained. "But if destroyed while not attached, they disappear." Sakura added. "We've been using the cores of defeated Animarius to rebuild the seal Sakura's ancestor placed them in 5,000 years ago." Lincoln explained. "Question, though, why rebuild the seal instead of just taking Animarius Soul Cores from their shoulders and destroy them permanently? To us, having to rebuild the seal would only feel like a temporary victory as there are bound to be some factors that make the seal break again at a later time!" Rintaro asked.

"That's the way my ancestors always did it. Besides, we have Animarius allies, so..." Sakura said. "Okay, that part might be a good point, but what about the evil ones? Aren't you guys afraid of the seal breaking again, releasing your enemies, and start this mess all over again?" Ren asked. "My family had been training for such an event, the only reason Lincoln-kun has his driver is because my Oniichan who was supposed to be the Kamen Rider if the seal was broken in our generation, was killed by Cerberion." Sakura explained. "That's horrible!" Sophia said. "To make matters worse, I recently found out my Mama, who was also killed along with him and my Papa, was pregnant at the time." Sakura said, tearing up beneath her helmet. That really made the Sword of Logos Riders shocked and outraged. "And when I confronted Cerberion about it, he actually laughed in glee about the idea of killing two descendants of the man who sealed the empire before they could even live!" Sakura said, continuing to cry. "Alright, where is this punk? One good whack from Gekido should teach him a lesson!" Ryo said, hefting his Seiken over his shoulder.

"And when I confronted Cerberion about it, he actually laughed in glee about the idea of killing two descendants of the man who sealed the empire before they could even live!" Sakura said, continuing to cry. "Alright, where is this punk? One good whack from Gekido should teach him a lesson!" Ryo said, hefting his Seiken over his shoulder. "Then, we had fought him a little more before he left moments before Hikiji's castle transformed!" He added. "But knowing Cerberion, that probably won't deter him." Gorf said over the comm link. As this was going on, Ospreyus, who was watching from afar, heard the detail about Sakura's mother and in horror opened a mini portal with a gun Aquilis built and rushed to her lab. "Oh, Ospreyus! You're back! What did you find out?" Aquilis asked. "Something you are not going to be happy about. Apparently, Jewel's mother, was with child when Hell's Watchdog killed her, her Father, and Brother." Ospreyus said.

"WHAT?!" Aquilis, Tytus, Falkyrie, and Vulturion asked in shock and horror. "With twins, specifically, and apparently when Jewel confronted him about it, he showed no remorse, in fact he apparently rejoiced at the idea." Ospreyus said. That made Aquilis really angry. She then recalled the day she adopted Tytus, the day she witnessed King Draco kill Tytus' birth parents simply because they refused to follow his orders, the day she found the egg that had her beloved adoptive daughter, the day the Barn Owl Animarius entered her life. "Cerberion." She said angrily.

Back With The Others...

"Lord, we might need some more firepower." Ryunnosuke told Takeru. "Agreed." Takeru said, pulling out the Kyoryuu Disc and loading it into his Inromaru.

Kyoryu Disc!

He then spun his sword, summoning the Kyoryu Origami. "Shinzen Samurai Gattai!" Takeru called out as the Kyoryu Origami reconfigured into a giant sword and was then caught by Samurai Ha-Oh. "Kyoryu Samurai Ha-Oh! United under Providence!" The Shinkengers called out. "It doesn't matter! You will all fall!" Hikiji said as he and Hebi were laughing in the cockpit of Karakuri Warrior. "Oh yeah? Clearly, you and Orochar are outnumbered here!" Raph said. That made Hikiji, Hebi, and Orochar laugh. "Oh, you poor simple fool! There's more to the Karakuri Warrior than meets the eye!" Hikiji said as he had the Karakuri Warrior fire laser blasts from its eyes straight at Aquarion TMNT, significantly damaging the latter Mecha. "Nice going, Raph!" Mikey said sarcastically. "Oh shut up." Raph said. "As for me, well, there's a reason why the people of this dimension call me the Great Dragon of Destruction!" Orochar said as he then fired laser beams from all eight of his mouths straight at LuchaPrime and Kyoryu Samurai Ha-Oh, causing both Mechas to get damaged. "Hmm, they might need some more." Lisa noted before pulling out her computer and hooking it up to Mecha Pollon.

She then began work before turning to Usagi. "Would you be willing to pilot a battle jet to help them?" She asked the rabbit samurai. "I would, but I really don't know how to!" Usagi said. "Well, I could teach you how, as soon as I'm done with this!" Lisa said. "That works." Usagi said. "So, what exactly are you doing?" Gennosuke asked. "When Neo DEAVA sent us the Vectors and Mecha Pollon, they also sent us a software that would allow us to make new Vectors just in case." Lisa explained. "Vectors?" Jotaro asked in confusion. "Those Jets you saw combine into Aquarion, which is the giant robot my brother, his girlfriend, his best friend, and the TMNT are piloting." Lisa explained. "Oh! Sorry! Truth is, I never saw anything like that!" Jotaro said sheepishly. "Oh trust me, this is the least surprising thing I've seen in my short five years on Earth." Lisa said as Mecha Pollon allowed a new Vector to pop out of his mouth.

Specifically, it resembled the Strahl from "Final Fantasy XII" and "Final Fantasy XII: Revenant Wings, albeit colored mostly white with blue accents and having a robotic rabbit head-like structure where the cockpit should be. "I don't get it, how is this little toy supposed to help?" Gennosuke asked in confusion as Lisa took the Vector and gave Mecha Pollon a metal treat. "Good boy." She said. Mecha-Pollon barked happily after eating the treat. "For your information, my anthropomorphic perissodactyl friend, there is technology in the Vectors as well as the rider machines they use that allows them to shrink. To get it to full size you simply have to hold it up and call 'Vector Launch'." Lisa instructed, handing the new Vector to Usagi. "Very interesting!" Usagi noted. "Vector launch!" Usagi called. He then held the new Vector upwards, causing it come to life, spread out its wings, and fly into the air before enlarging into a much larger size. Before beaming Usagi onboard. "Alright Usagi, first thing you're going to do is grab the two controls you see on either side of you." Lisa instructed.

"You mean those structures that look like sword handles?" Usagi asked. "Correct." Lisa stated. Usagi then grabbed the controls. "Now pull them back and fly up to the Skyring." Lisa instructed. "Okay, if you say so!" Usagi said he did exactly what Lisa told him to do.

Back with the others...

"Just so that can have my Karakuri Warrior use both hands, I'm putting you into a compartment, that way I can have your demise reserved for last!" Hikiji said as a compartment opened up in the Karakuri Warrior's chest that the castle robot put the Shogun into before it closed. "We need to save the Shogun before we take that thing down!" Leo noted. "Yeah, but how?" Mikey asked. "Here's an answer, you can't!" Hikiji said as the Karakuri Warrior pulled out a large Otachi sword from its back and slashed across Aquarion TMNT's chest, causing the latter mecha to get heavily damaged. "Leave rescuing the Shogun to me!" AkaRed said over the communicator. "Soul Korin! ZyuohEagle!" AkaRed called, taking on the first form of the Zyuohger Red and pulling out the Eagriser. "Panopticon, Alraunellie, with me! The three of us shall storm into the Karakuri Warrior, take out any evildoer we come across, and save the Shogun! Yasei Kaiho!" AkaRed called, summoning ZyuohEagle's wings and taking off.

At once, Panopticon and Alraunellie spread out their wings and followed AkaRed. "Be careful, my love!" Desco called out to Alraunellie. "Don't worry, Desco, I will!" Alraunellie replied. Noriyuki and Tomoe were confused by this interaction. "To answer your confusion, my little sister Desco and Alraunellie are both in a same-sex romantic relationship!" Fuka said. "And we're both very happy, even despite what our enemies may think. They may want to make her pay for defecting, but Desco won't let them!" Desco said. Needless to say, Noriyuki and Tomoe were surprised at that. "Yeah, it's pretty crazy, but as long as my precious, cute, and deadly little sister is happy, I'm cool with it." Fuka said. "Thanks, big sis, that really means a lot to Desco. And Desco is sure you will find someone that makes you as happy as Alraunellie makes Desco!" Desco said. That made Fuka blush a little bit.

As this was going on, the heroes were still fighting Orochar and the Karakuri Warrior, but things weren't going so well for the heroes. "How is something made out of stone, wood, and metal be much stronger than our own Mecha?!" Mikey asked. "That Karakuri Warrior must be protected by some sort of incredibly strong skintight force field covering its whole body!" Donnie said upon analyzing the Karakuri Warrior. "That's right, and there's nothing you can do to-" Hikiji declared before rockets fired at the ground beneath Karakuri Warrior's feet, courtesy of Usagi in the new Vector. "Now what?!" Hikiji asked in annoyance. "Sorry to disappoint you, Hikiji, but you're going down!" Usagi said from within the Vector. "Usagi?! But how?!" Hikiji asked in shock. "Lisa made that?" Lincoln asked Usagi. "Apparently so!" Usagi said. As this was going on, AkaRed, Panopticon, and Alraunellie were flying up near where they saw the Shogun was put. "Alright, what's the plan?" Panopticon asked.

"First things first we need to get past that barrier and smash through the wall into the Shogun's prison." AkaRed said. "It must have some weak point, but that could be anywhere!" Alraunellie said. "In that case, I'd better use my Satellite Eyes for that job!" Panopticon said as he summoned said eyes. "I have a faster solution, I'm going to need one of you to catch me first, Soul Korin, ShishiRed!" AkaRed called, taking on the form of the flightless Kyuranger Red. Afterwards, Panopticon went and caught the Red Sentai Spirit with his bare hands. "How is this guy supposed to be a speedier solution than Panopticon's eye?" Alraunellie asked in confusion. "ShishiRed is known for his incredibly good luck as I will now demonstrate!" AkaRed said, firing the Seiza Blaster in a random direction. That caused the blast to ricochet across several places. Before hitting a spot in the back, causing a barrier to flicker before shattering. That made Panopticon and Alraunellie drop their jaws in shock. "I know, crazy right? Soul Korin, ZyuohGorilla!" AkaRed said, taking on the second Zyuohger Red form. "Now toss me as hard as you can into that!" AkaRed said, pointing to where they saw the Karakuri Warrior place the Shogun in.

"Okay!" Panopticon said. Before spinning around a few times and throwing AkaRed straight into the Karakuri Warrior hard enough to punch a large hole in the robot, but to also cause it to crash into the Skyring floor. "Nice shot." Alraunellie said. Of course, it didn't take long for Hikiji and Hebi to notice what just happened. "Go see what's going on!" Hikiji ordered Hebi. "At once, Master!" Hebi said as he slithered off. "AkaRed, are you okay?" Alraunellie asked as she and Panopticon rushed to the hole. "I'm okay! I've been through tougher messes than this!" AkaRed assured. "On the bright side, I found the Shogun!" AkaRed said, gesturing to the bear who had been unharmed as he actually stuck to the side sensing AkaRed's intrusion. "Who are you?!" The Shogun demanded. "Do not fear, Mr. Shogun, we are with the people who are currently fighting against this mechanical menace." AkaRed assured.

"Really?" The Shogun asked. "Really!" AkaRed confirmed. "Well then too bad because that means I can't let you leave alive!" Hebi said, wrapping his body around AkaRed, Alraunellie, and Panopticon. "Hebi! I'll be having your head for your despicable actions!" The Shogun said angrily. Outside, Desco gasped. "Nellie's in trouble! Desco's coming Nellie!" She said, using Octorabbit like a helicopter to fly up to the skyring. "You certainly have one strange little sister." Tomoe told Fuka. "Trust me, I'm no better, I used to dream of world domination with Desco as my 'Final Boss' so to speak!" Fuka admitted with a chuckle. That made everyone who didn't know about her and Desco's past look at her in shock and confusion. "Yeah, I had a pretty crazy childhood, then I was killed by Desco's identical-looking sister Des X, got sent to what is essentially hell, thought it was a nightmare, got told the truth by a crazy dream-invading claw-gloved serial killer, got brought back to life by a pair of Alebrije, had a change of heart, chose to stay behind, and now Desco and I live in what used to be LuchaBronze's bedroom." Fuka said.

Everyone who didn't already know about this blinked in confusion. "That's pretty much how we reacted when we found out our lives were a video game in that world." Fuka said, showing a poster for 'Disgaea 4: A Promise Unforgotten'. "I have no idea what a 'video game' is!" Jotaro said. "Neither do I!" Noriyuki said. As this was going on, Hebi was about to swallow AkaRed, Alraunellie, and Panopticon whole, only for Desco to stomp on his head hard! "BAD SNAKE! BAD SNAKE! LEAVE NELLIE AND FRIENDS ALONE!" Desco angrily yelled as she repeatedly stomped on Hebi. "Friend of yours?" The Shogun asked with a terrified look on his face as Desco literally stomped the teeth out of Hebi's face. "My girlfriend, and yes, I mean the person I'm dating." Alraunellie confirmed. The Shogun was obviously surprised at that. "Nellie, are you okay? That mean snake didn't hurt you guys did he?" Desco asked. "He did squeeze me, Panopticon, and AkaRed in his coils very tightly and was about to swallow us whole, but other than that, we're okay!" Alraunellie said. Before kissing Desco out of appreciation. "Thanks for the save, sweetie." She said.

"You're welcome, Nellie!" Desco said, just as Hebi, who was in obvious pain from the stomping that Desco gave him, got up slowly and hissed angrily at the artificial demon. Before AkaRed switched to his ZyuohWhale form and pumped the Whale Change Gun three times.

Zyuoh Final!

He then aimed the Gun at Hebi. "Bye bye." He said, pulling the trigger. "Oh No!" Hebi said as the blast sent him flying out of the Karakuri Warrior before he then exploded into smithereens. "You certainly are a strange group of warriors." The Shogun said as Panopticon unshackled him. "Trust me, there are weirder." AkaRed said as he lead everyone out. "We have the Shogun, you can do whatever you want to the Karakuri Warrior now!" He reported through the communicator. "Copy that, AkaRed!" Lincoln said through the comm link. "And thanks for getting rid of Hebi for us, I'd never liked that guy!" Leo said through the comm link. "Me neither." Usagi said. "Usagi, if you push that button on your left that reads 'Gattai' you will be able to combine your Vector with Aquarion!" Lisa informed the Rabbit Samurai. Usagi then noticed the aforementioned button. "Understood, Leonardo-san?" Usagi said. "You got it!" Leo said as Aquarion TMNT separated back into Aquarion LL and Vector TMNT. "Let's do this!" Usagi said, pushing the button. "Yojimbo (Bodyguard) Gattai! Go Aquarion!" He said as his Vector flew up into the air with Aquarion LL following behind it. "One more thing, being in a Vector during formation of Aquarion tends to leave a person with this really intense feeling, so don't worry if you feel that." Lisa informed as the combination began. "Wait, what?" Usagi asked, but it was too late.

(Cue "SAMURAI STRONG STYLE" by Show Ayanokouji and Marty Friedman)

As Usagi's Vector flew into the air, it started to separate into pieces, first with the twin conical structures detaching themselves from the front, followed by the twin disc-like structures from the front sides, the twin boosters from the bottom, the large wings from the back, and the rabbit head-shaped cockpit from the front top. At the same time, Aquarion LL had its feet folded downwards and its hands retracted back into its lower arms before the armor above them folded in front of them. Then, as the pieces of Usagi's Vector surrounded Aquarion LL while being caught in an energy field, Usagi himself was feeling the energy from the combination sequence. "WHOA! WHAT IS THIS?! WHAT SORT OF POWER AM I FEELING HERE?!" Usagi asked as he was feeling the energy. "DON'T WORRY, USAGI, JUST GO WITH THE FLOW!" Aurachnid said as he was feeling the energy. "AURACHNID'S RIGHT! THIS IS WHAT HAPPENS WHENEVER WE ARE COMBINING INTO AQUARION!" Clyde explained while feeling the energy. "WHENEVER OUR VECTORS MERGE, SO DO OUR MINDS, BODIES, AND SOULS!" Lincoln informed while feeling the energy. "YEAH! NOT ONLY THAT, BUT OUR OWN POWERS ARE BEING AMPLIFIED AND OUR EMOTIONS ARE BEING SHARED WITH EACH OTHER! IT JUST FEELS THAT GOOD!" Sakura replied while feeling the energy in bliss. "YEAH, I AGREE WITH THEM! THIS ENERGY IS NOTHING LIKE ANY OF US FROM THE SWORD OF LOGOS HAVE EVER FELT BEFORE!" Touma said as he and rest of the Sword of Logos Riders were feeling the energy. "BY THE WAY, EVER THOUGHT OF A NAME FOR YOUR VECTOR AND NEW AQUARION FORMATION?" Lincoln asked. "ACTUALLY, I REALLY HAVEN'T THOUGHT ABOUT IT!" Usagi admitted. "WELL THEN, HOW ABOUT VECTOR USAGI AND AQUARION USAGI, SINCE THEY WOULD BE NAMED AND MODELED AFTER YOU?" Aurachnid suggested. "A VERY FITTING SUGGESTION, AURACHNID-SAN! WELL THEN, LET'S DO THIS!" Usagi said as the pieces finally started coming together. First, the large wings of Vector Usagi slid themselves into Aquarion LL's legs before the ends folded upwards to form armored rabbit-like feet. Next, the twin boosters of Vector Usagi opened up their back ends before sliding themselves into Aquarion LL's forearms and popped out robotic hands from their front ends. Then, the twin disc-like structures of Vector Usagi attached themselves to Aquarion LL's shoulder panels and folded their front panels down to form new shoulder armor. Finally, Aquarion LL's head retracted itself back into its body before the main body of Vector Usagi attached itself vertically to the Mecha's chest and twisted its small side wings upwards, right before the rabbit head-shaped cockpit of Vector Usagi flew up and attached itself to the head area before raising up its rabbit ears and lighting up its blue eyes. Afterwards, the twin conical structures of Vector Usagi flew around, popped out handles from their rear parts, and attached themselves to the Mecha's hips before the Mecha itself grabbed the handles and unsheathed blades from the structures, forming twin katanas. After it did a few samurai sword poses, Usagi announced "AQUARION! USAGI!" as the mecha, now identified as Aquarion Usagi, finished in a stoic and dramatic samurai pose.

"It will take more than that to take me down!" Hikiji said. "We'll just see about tha-" Touma started saying before he and the other Sword of Logos riders noticing their Seikens glowing. "Nani? Our Seikens are glowing? But, why?" Rintaro asked in confusion. Tetsuo placed his ear on Suzune's blade, listening to it's voice. "They're wanting to loan Usagi their power to defeat Hikiji!" He said. "Eh?!" The rest of the Sword of Logos Riders exclaimed in surprise. Suddenly each Seiken shot out beams of their respective elements, summoning giant versions of themselves in front of Aquarion Usagi. "What in the world?!" Lincoln asked in shock. "I don't understand what's going on, but if it helps take down Hikiji, then I'm all for it!" Usagi said, making Aquarion Usagi put away its katanas and grab the giant Kaenken Rekka, causing the latter weapon to have its blade ignited with flames. "Bring it on!" Hikiji declared. "We'll take care of Orochar!" Ronnie Anne said. "But first, we need to heal ourselves!" Adelaide said. LuchaPrime raised it's blaster up. "Lunar pulse!" Adelaide called as the blaster fired several rings of energy similar to Adelaide's healing moon, healing the Kamen Riders, Lucharangers, Shinkengers, and their allies.

"Thanks, Adelaide!" Aurachnid said. "Now let's deal with these punks!" Ronnie Anne called. "Storm Bayonet!" She called, as LuchaPrime slashed Orochar with an electric blade. "YEEEEEEEOW!" Orochar yelled in pain as he was electrocuted. Samurai Ha-Oh then rushed in and struck Orochar several times with the Kyoryu Origami. "OW, OW, OW! QUIT STRIKING ME!" Orochar complained. As this was going on, Aquarion Usagi was using the giant Kaenken Rekka to do battle against the Karakuri Warrior. "Your sword is no match for mine, Usagi!" Hikiji said as the Karakuri Warrior clashed it's sword against Aquarion Usagi and the Kaenken Rekka. "Do not underestimate the power of the Seikens!" Touma declared as the flames on the giant Rekka burned brighter allowing Aquarion Usagi to strike Karakuri Warrior hard before switching to the giant version of the Suiseiken Nagare, which summoned giant water spouts. The water then splashed onto the Karakuri Warrior, much to Hikiji's annoyance. Before Aquarion Usagi slashed the Karakuri Warrior and swapped out for the giant version of the Raimeiken Ikazuchi, which crackled with lightning that reacted to the water from Nagare.

That caused the Karakuri Warrior to get electrocuted, with Hikiji himself feeling the literal shock too. Before Usagi slashed him again and swapping out for the even bigger version of the Dougoken Gekido. "Consider yourself grounded, Hikiji!" Lincoln called as Aquarion Usagi slammed the Bastard Sword esque weapon, which was covered in rocks to make it look even bigger, into the mecha. "You're going to pay for that!" Hikiji said as Aquarion Usagi swapped out for the giant version of the Onjuuken Suzune. "I wonder what that is supposed to do!" Lincoln wondered. "Suzune is the Seiken of Sound." Touma explained. "It also has two modes, Sword Board Mode and Gun Play Mode!" He added. "Oh really?" Usagi asked, switching the giant Suzune to Gun Play mode. That caused Aquarion Usagi to have the giant Suzune fire out a barrage of musical notes at the Karakuri Warrior.

"Nice!" Lincoln said before Usagi swapped out for the giant Fuusouken Hayate. "Fun fact about the Fuusouken Hayate, it actually has three modes, Ittouryu (One Sword) Mode, Nitouryu (Two Sword) Mode, and Shuriken Mode!" Ren informed. "Good to know!" Usagi said, switching it to Shuriken mode and tossing it at Karakuri Warrior. However, Hikiji thought ahead and quickly made the Karakuri Warrior dodge the weapon. "You've missed!" Hikiji said. Only for Hayate to come back like a boomerang and hit Karakuri Warrior in the back. That caused the Karakuri Warrior to get damaged and stumble around a bit while Hikiji was shaken up a bit and getting annoyed. Aquarion Usagi then switched out for a dual wield of the Kougouken Saikou and Ankouken Kurayami. "What do either of these swords do?" Usagi asked. "Saikou represents Light." Yuri said. "While Kurayami represents Darkness." Sophia explained.

"They were the first two Seikens to ever be created!" She added. Saikou's blade then started shining brightly while Kurayami's blade became shrouded in dark mist. Shrugging, Usagi struck the Karakuri Warrior with both. Needless to say, that attack damaged the Karakuri Warrior even further. Aquarion Usagi then switched out for the Eneiken Noroshi. "Any idea on what that sword does?" Aurachnid asked. "My favorite technique is proving my title as Swordsman of Smoke by using Noroshi's ability to turn it's wielder into smoke that can allow them to get around their enemy." Reika explained. "Really?" Usagi asked with intrigue. Before Aquarion Usagi triggered said ability. "What?!" Hikiji asked in shock as Aquarion Usagi literally turned into a cloud of smoke that blinded the Karakuri Warrior. Karakuri Warrior tried to fight, but Aquarion Usagi was too fast for it and struck it before turning back into smoke and repeating several times before switching out for the Jikokuken Kaiji. "My Seiken has a similar ability to that of my sister's, but this one allows it's wielder to freeze time around them." Ryoga said.

"It also has a Trident-like Spear Mode, which is what I mainly use in combat!" He added. "Good to know!" Usagi said, switching Kaiji to said mode and activating the feature Ryoga mentioned. Like before Aquarion Usagi was able to confound Hikiji and strike Karakuri Warrior several times, the last one managing to cause Karakuri Warrior and Orochar to crash into each other. "Let's end this!" Usagi said as Aquarion Usagi unsheathed it's katanas, the Seikens forming a circle around Aquarion and gathering energy. "Oi! Let me join in!" DaiGoyou said. "Okay!" Genta said as he tossed the lantern and Jitte out of Kyoryu Samurai Ha-Oh before typing in the kanji for "Big" from his Sushi Changer and sending to DaiGoyou. "DaiGoyou! Dai Henge!" DaiGoyou announced as he transformed and combined with the Jitte to form is Robot form. "DaiGoyou!" He announced in a dramatic pose. "Too bad, you guys don't have a giant robot of your own!" Ronnie Anne said to the Sword of Logos Riders. "Actually, I think we do have one! In fact, I think now is a good time to use this, since I have not used it in a while!" Touma said as he removed the Storm Eagle and Saiyuu Journey Wonder Ride Books before pulling out the King of Arthur Wonder Ride Book and opening it.

King of Arthur! Toaru kishiou ga furi orosu kanzen chouaku no hitotachi... (A certain knight king swings down the sword of poetic justice...)

He then closed the book back up and loaded into his Seiken Swordriver before sliding in the Haouken Xross Saber into the same driver, activating the standby sound. After that, he unsheathed the Cross Saber from the driver, summoning his dragon and the Kingexcalibur, which he grabbed in his left hand as it gave him the blue and star-covered version of the King of Arthur arm.

Seiba Battou! Wonder! Xross! Wonder! Kakeawase! Takamaru nisatsu no chō power! Hy-! Hy-! Hy-! Hy-! Hybrid Saber! Saber! Suisen tosho! (Sacred blade draw sword! Wonder! Xross! Wonder! Multiply! Two intensifying books of super power! Hy-! Hy-! Hy-! Hy-! Hybrid Saber! Saber! Recommended books!)

"Oh, yes! It's the first time I've used this Wonder Ride Book with the Xross Saber!" Touma noted. He then thrusted the Kingexcalibur forwards and summoned a giant-sized version of it out onto the Sky Ring. "Yosh! Now, let's do this!" Touma said as he removed the King of Arthur Ride Book and scanned it over the regular-sized Kingexcalibur.

Kingexcalibur kara no tsurugi ga henkei! Kyodaina kenshi ga mewosamasu! King of Arthur! (Kingexcalibur is transformed from a sword! The huge swordsman wakes up! King of Arthur!)

That caused the giant-sized copy of the Kingexcalibur to transform into the King of Arthur Mecha, which is a humanoid knight-like robot with a sword of its held in its left hand. "Holy Shamoly!" Lincoln said. "Oh, it's about to get more surprising!" Touma said as he then jumped out of Lincoln's cockpit and flew towards the King of Arthur Mecha, right before a huge sword blade unfolded out of Touma's back and attached itself on top of his head.

Sword Change! Kamen Rider Saber!

Afterwards, the King of Arthur Mecha grabbed Touma with his right hand, making the Swordsman of Flame become its right sword known as Saver Saber. "Prepare yourself, Hikiji!" Usagi declared. Hikiji growled angrily as the Karakuri Warrior and Orochar slowly got themselves back up. "Aquarion/Seiken Saber Storm!" Usagi and the Sword of Logos Riders all called as the Seikens all slashed along with Aquarion Usagi's katanas. "Prime Victory!" The Lucharangers called as LuchaPrime fired it's blaster. "Juni Origami Dai Samurai Giri!" (Twelve Origami Great Samurai Slash!) The Shinkengers called as their own finisher was performed. "Hiden Disc Midareuchi (Secret Disc Turbulence Shot)!" DaiGoyou announced as he fired a huge array of disks from his body that floated in the air above him before he then launched towards Orochar and the Karakuri Warrior. "We will decide this story's ending! Let's go, King of Arthur!" Touma said as the King of Arthur Mecha charged towards Orochar and the Karakuri Warrior before performing a double sword slash at the foes.

King Slash!

Every finisher hit both enemies, causing Karakuri Warrior's cockpit to spark, the alarms going off. "NO! It can't end here!" Hikiji declared as both his mech and Orochar exploded, Orochar reverting back to his soul core, which Lincoln beamed into his cockpit and sealed. "And that's that!" Lincoln said. "Uh, guys, I don't think it's over yet!" Clyde said as an escape pod was seen launching out of the explosion where the Karakuri Warrior used to be. "Dang it!" Lincoln said as the pod landed on the ground and Hikiji weakly got out, although he survived Karakuri Warrior's destruction, it was clear he wasn't sound. "He's not looking so good." Adelaide noted as half of Hikiji's Oni Mask cracked and fell off. Everyone gasped in shock as his human face was fully revealed. "Hikiji is human?" Lincoln asked in confusion. "Well that's unexpected." Donnie said. "Miyamoto Usagi! Come down here and face me like a man! Unless you're nothing but a coward!" Hikiji demanded despite being clearly struggling to stand.

"Coward?" Usagi asked in slight anger. Before teleporting down to where Hikiji stood. "You of all people don't deserve to use that word to describe others!" Usagi said, drawing his sword as Hikiji did the same. "Before we do this, I have to ask, how did you wind up in this world? It's clear you're not from here." Usagi said. "If you must know, I should start with this, my full name is Oroku Hikiji!" Hikiji started revealing, making the Ninja Turtles, Master Splinter, Casey Jones, April O'Neil, and Leatherhead to gasp in shock. "Oroku? By any chance are you related to a man named Oroku Saki?" Leo asked over Vector TMNT's loudspeaker. "How do you turtles know about my cousin?!" Hikiji asked in confusion. "We had some not so pleasant encounters with him and a couple of wannabes who were just as bad as him." Donnie admitted. "So, my cousin has returned from death after all these years and I didn't even know about it?" Hikiji asked. "And based on what you told me, he still failed, pathetic. Anyway, I found myself in this world after falling into a dimensional rift following a failed attempt on the Emperor of Japan's life, though, as I found out many years later, as an unexpected side effect of entering that rift, my aging process was slowed down to once every 300 years." Hikiji explained. "Yeesh! That certainly explains why you look no older than your mid-40's, despite being over 700 years old!" Mikey noted. "I'm guessing that dimensional rift must be somewhat temporal in nature, given your circumstances!" Donnie noted.

"Anyway, once I made it to this world, filled with humanoid animals instead of humans, I decided that this was my chance to become its ruler! Of course, I had to hide my face behind an Oni mask to avoid getting identified as human by the locals, with Hebi being the only one who's allowed to know my secret! Unfortunately, no matter how hard I've tried, I never had fully taken over this world, due to many interferences, especially you, Usagi!" Hikiji said in contempt. "You may have stopped me for now, but I can begin anew! Once I kill you, I can once again build my empire and take over this world!" Hikiji said, charging at Usagi, who didn't even flinch, instead, at the last possible second as Hikiji raised his sword, Usagi slashed diagonally, and with that, Hikiji's reign was over as he slumped over, finally dead. Everyone gasped at that. "It's finally over." Usagi said, sheathing his sword and bowing to his fallen foe.

Later...

The Shogun and his army were arresting Kagemaru and all surviving ninjas that served Hikiji. "They'll face trial, I can't say what their fate will be, but they shouldn't be a problem anymore." The Shogun informed the heroes. "And I'll make sure Hikiji, Hebi, and Buichi face a nice warm trial in the Afterlife Court." Emizel, who Fuka and Desco had called in, said, carrying the three's souls. "This is humiliating!" Hikiji complained. "Our thoughts exactly!" Hebi and Buichi said in agreement. "Wait until you meet the Prinnies, I hope you like sardines!" Fuka said with a chuckle. "Wait, what?" The three deceased souls asked in confusion. "Big sis, don't forget about having to end every sentence with the word 'dood'!" Desco pointed out putting emphasis on the word 'every'. "Oh, right! Thanks, Desco!" Fuka said sheepishly. "Every sentence? You're kidding, right?" Hikiji asked. "Nope!" Fuka and Desco said. "Excuse me, Emizel, right? What will happen to Gunichi's soul?" Usagi asked the young Grim Reaper.

"Considering that he had reflected on his actions after failing into the Healing Spring of Life and had redeemed himself through fighting alongside you and sacrificing his life to save you, he's not going to get punished like these three!" Emizel said. "Also, he's right over here!" He added while pointing at the Ghost of Gunichi, who came floating over to the scene. "Thank you again for the second chance, Usagi." Gunichi said. "You are welcome, and thank you for saving me, I assure you, the secrets of the Spring will be very well guarded." Usagi promised. "I'm glad to know! Also, there's two people here who wanted to see you!" Gunichi said as the ghosts of a middle-aged anthropomorphic white rabbit wearing clothing similar to Usagi's and a male anthropomorphic tiger wearing ancient Japanese armor descended down to the field. "Father? Lord Mifune?" Usagi asked upon recognizing the two ghosts. "Usagi, you did well today, I couldn't be more proud." Usagi's father said. "Neither could I." Lord Mifune said.

"Thank You, Father! You too, Lord Mifune!" Usagi said while bowing down in respect. Usagi's father and Lord Mifune then took notice of Jotaro. "Oh, hello." Jotaro told his grandfather and father's deceased Lord. "So, you must be my grandson!" Usagi's father noted. "Oh, you...already know about that." Usagi shamefully admitted. "I have been watching you in heaven since my death, so, of course I know the full details of how it happened and everything else!" Usagi's father said. "Don't worry, though, based on what I've seen, I'm sure one day he'll be a samurai that will make both the family he's living with and ours proud." Usagi's father said. "I completely agree." Usagi said, making Jotaro smile. "By the way, which of you is Hoseki Sakura?" Lord Mifune asked. "That would be me!" Sakura said. "Your mother asked us to give a message to you." Mifune said.

"My mother? But how? She's in a different universe than this one!" Sakura asked in confusion. "Magistrate Miyamoto and I were in the Afterlife Nexus and we met your mother, father, and older brother there sometime earlier there!" Mifune said. "Well, what did she say?" Sakura asked. "Unfortunately, we weren't able to hear the whole thing, but we were able to hear the words 'Alebrije', 'Asahi', 'Yuzuuki', and 'life'." Mifune said. That made Sakura ponder on that a little bit before gasping in realization. "Could Mama be asking me to use the powers of Electra-chan and Eury-san to bring my Ototo and Imoto back to life like they did to Fuka-chan?" Sakura said in wonder. Everyone gasped at that. Before everyone who didn't know about that part involving Fuka looked at her in confusion. "It's a long story." Fuka said. Unbeknownst to anyone, Ophanimaton was watching, and decided to open a portal back to the Animarius Castle to report this discovery.

"Hey, guys, I just realized something, where are Yui and Subaru?" Clyde said upon noticing that Carl's girlfriend and Adelaide's boyfriend aren't anywhere to be seen. "Oh No!" Carl and Adelaide said in worry. "Come to think of it, has anyone seen Lucy, Rocky, Haiku, Dante, Morpheus, Persephone, Boris, and Bertrand since we entered the battlefield?" Bobby asked. "We're right here!" Lucy, who was carefully carrying the disembodied head Lord Mifune that was previously at the entrance of Lord Hikiji's castle, and the Junior Morticians Club, along with Yui and Subaru, said as they all made their appearances known, causing everyone to jump up in fright. "Sorry, we were just retrieving Lord Mifune's head so we could give it a proper burial." Lucy said, pulling out a shovel she brought for some strange reason. "Where did you get a shovel?" Lincoln asked. "We never leave home without one in case of emergencies." Haiku said as the rest of the Junior Morticians Club pulled out shovels of their own.

"Well, lucky for you kids, I know where I last buried Lord Mifune's body, so you can help me reunite his head with it!" Usagi said. "And afterwards, we can celebrate this grand victory with a Sushi party, my treat!" Genta said enthusiastically. "I think we can have that party hosted at my castle, since this victory over Hikiji is definitely worth celebrating!" The Shogun suggested. "You can even have access to my kitchen and pantry to make the Sushi." He insisted. "It would be an honor, sir." Sakura said, bowing down, everyone doing the same.

At The Animarius Castle...

"I CAN'T BELIEVE YOU! Killing Jewel's parents and brother is bad enough, but you killed two humans that didn't even get the chance to live, and you don't even regret it!?" Aquilis angrily asked Cerberion. "Yeah, so what?" Cerberion asked. "It just means that wiping out the human's line got so easier!" Cerberion said. "I wouldn't celebrate too soon." Futaba said, walking in with Ophanimaton wrapped around his arm. "According to my friend here, Jewel may have just found a way to actually revive them." He said. "What?!" Cerberion asked in slight anger and confusion. "Yeah, apparently there's a pair of Alebrije who's powers combined can restore life to a spirit, and they've already done so to an ally of the Lucharangers." Futaba said. That made Cerberion growl angrily. "Why those little!" Cerberion said, storming out as Futaba followed him. "We have to make sure Jewel succeeds in this endeavor and that Cerberion's plans come the eclipse fail!" Aquilis said. "Agreed, mother!" Tytus said. "Same with us!" Ospreyus, Falkyrie, and Vulturion said at once.

Back in Second Earth...

Everyone was at the gravesite of Lord Mifune, where Usagi, with the help of Lucy and the Junior Morticians Club, uncovered the grave and then placed Lord Mifune's severed head back onto the body before the grave was buried back up, much to the delight of Lord Mifune's ghost. While also giving Gunichi a proper burial of his own with Sakura using her powers over Earth to erect a headstone for both of them. "Thank you all for giving us a proper burial!" Lord Mifune said. "Especially, since my body is now buried next to Lord Mifune's!" Gunichi said. "You're welcome! It's what we Junior Morticians do!" Lucy said. "Speaking of, I'm sorry for what I've done in the past, Lord Mifune! I shouldn't have fled out of fear of death and abandoned you when you were at need! I hope you forgive me!" Gunichi apologized to Lord Mifune. "No need to worry, your actions have already redeemed yourself in my eyes as well as Usagi's." Lord Mifune assured. Gunichi smiled at that. "Speaking of you, Usagi, before we go, there's one final order for you!" Lord Mifune said to Usagi. "Anything, Lord Mifune!" Usagi said. "I know you have been a Ronin on a warrior's pilgrimage and a noble bodyguard for hire ever since my death and never seeked for the service of other lords even when protecting others! I'm glad you you've kept your loyalty to me! That's why I'm allowing you to be released of your vow of loyalty to me, so that you can finally move on!" Lord Mifune said, much to Usagi's surprise. "Lord Mifune, you really mean that?" Usagi asked. "Indeed! In fact, I'm suggesting that you be under the service of Lord Noriyuki and the Geishu Clan! After all, it wouldn't hurt for you to protect him alongside Tomoe Ame! Plus, Noriyuki's father, Lord Mataichi, is one of my closest friends and he would be happy to know that you would be protecting his only son!" Lord Mifune said. "In that case, I will honor your final order, Lord Mifune! Thank You!" Usagi said while bowing down and then moving to Lord Noriyuki's side. "I hope you would allow me to be of service to you from now on, Lord Noriyuki!" Usagi said to the young Giant Panda lord. "I will, Usagi-san! I now see that you and Tomoe would protect me side-by-side from whatever new threats might happen in the future! I'll also have the royal tailor make you a new outfit with the Geishu Clan's crest!" Lord Noriyuki said as he, Tomoe, and Usagi bowed to each other in respect. Even Usagi's father smiled in approval. Lord Mifune then turned his attention to the Shogun. "I'm glad that we can meet each other again after so long, Shogun Meigetsu!" Lord Mifune said. "Likewise, old friend!" The Shogun, now revealed to be named Meigetsu, replied. "Also, Lord Noriyuki's parents said hi, and they are happy to know that he's alive and well with you supporting him!" Lord Mifune said. "Glad to know!" Shogun Meigetsu said. Lord Mifune, Usagi's father, and Gunichi then turned their attention to the rest of the heroes. "Thank you, brave warriors, now the three of us may move on in peace." Lord Mifune said as he, Usagi's father, and Gunichi disappeared with smiles on their faces. "While you three can look forward to an eternity of servitude, eating sardines, and ending every sentence with the word 'dood'!" Emizel told the souls of Hikiji, Hebi, and Buichi before teleporting straight to the Afterlife Nexus.

"Do they really have to end every sentence with the word 'dood'?" Tomoe asked Fuka and Desco. "Only if they end up being turned into Prinnies." Fuka said. "Which is most likely what's going to happen, so yes." Desco said. "So, Shogun-sama, shall we get to your castle for that celebration?" Sakura asked politely. "Sure! Let's go!" Shogun Meigetsu replied.

Later...

Everyone was inside Shogun Meigetsu's castle sitting at a very long traditional Japanese table and eating an assortment of traditional Japanese foods, including various types of sushi provided by Genta. Although, Sakura couldn't get her mind off one thing. 'I promise Mama, I will find them, use Electra-chan and Eury-san's powers, and be an Oneechan that would make you, Papa, and Oniichan proud.' She thought to herself before popping a Salmon roll in her mouth. "Oishi!" She beamed. "Glad you enjoy it, Sakura-chan!" Genta said. "And there's plenty more where that came from!" He announced to everyone as they sat, talked, and enjoyed the night.
