Dies irae - Animation OST: Unus Mundus

It was sometime in the past...

It had been just a few days as far as the newly elected Prime Minister Fuyuki Kaguya was concerned. But it was something that was quite memorable for him as everything that was revealed to him was nothing short of concerning or even quite alarming.

Now, he was somewhere in an office.

There were white neon-colored lights that brightened the office. It has a desk and a few office chairs. There were many types of books that were found on the bookshelves that were nearby. In a word, it was the personal office of a high-ranking official of an organization known as the SCP Foundation. Said official was a member of the prestigious O5 Council, with thirteen Prime Overseers at the head of this council. Said official was now sitting on his office chair, carrying that grim expression on his face, placing both of his hands on the arms of the chair.

Councilman Max Walker—O5-12, an old man in his senior years but not too old as he appeared to look young even with his age. Grey hair and hazel brown eyes. He wears a black business suit which was the standard uniform for those who were working on practically one of the most powerful inter-multiversal organizations on the face of the Multiverse.

Now that he was officially Prime Minister, Fuyuki Kaguya had been given a thorough detour of what was on the other side of the world and beyond as part of official protocols that had been established in the wake and aftermath of World War II when it concerns the leaders of the world. It was a time when the country of Japan was still recently suffering the major effects of the bombings of Hiroshima and Nagasaki and the whole world would remember that day as one with dread for the future to come.

What he found was something that may as well haunt and inspire him as he ultimately realized one thing.

That humans were not that special in the grand scheme of things and it was the height of sheer arrogance. It didn't matter which country a human belonged for they were all the same in the eyes of those high up. The so-called modern discoveries and technologies and innovations that were dime a dozen were nothing compared to other more advanced civilizations out there in the universe and beyond.

But then, he suppose that this was just common sense. The real punchline however was the many ridiculous things that what lay beyond had offered.

What if you just found out that everything that you were told were real in some way?

In the ever-expanding Multiverse filled with cosmological wonders and horrors, it unfortunately proves heavy weight to this argument. And then, you'd find about the significant role that the known superheroes of the world known as the Precure are all called to face. And among the Precure, his daughter, Madoka Kaguya, was one of them.

Everything that you as a parent would be worried over came crashing down upon him as he slowly read the official files on the folder that has the logo of the Foundation from the front and back cover. His hands shake in dread the more he read them. Records showing all of the pictures of the Precure and the detailed information regarding their vital role in the continued existence of not only their universe but of their entire local multiverse.

But there was also tragedy, despair, death, and other grave matters that were dealt with from the shadows. Many of them were given the term "SCP" with countless designated numbers.

Anomalies of various kinds that range from the most painfully obvious to the least recognizable ones, old gods of graves and shadows that haunt the soul of man forever, irrational sources that defy everything in the face of scientific inquiry, demons of the infernal regions that hold the powers of the air, and everything else that would make you wake up at night and made yourself realize that the Precure and their sources of light were the one thing driving out the many horrors that could have ended humanity several times over and the definitive need for gratitude needed to be said to his face as one of the few who once opposed the Precure.

Indeed, his eyes opened as to how his own daughter and every Precure out there have that role to be beacons of light within the darkness where true evil was lurking like the slithering serpent in many shapes and forms, like the ancient devils that they were.

How ironic...the fact that he once opposed the Precure, specifically Star Twinkle, for harboring aliens from another planet.

But...

"Councilman..." Fuyuki looks upwards from the file that he was holding to the Councilman who was looking at him with an understanding expression. "I...This...This is..."

"It's a lot to take in, isn't it?" Councilman Walker said in an empathetic tone.

"Yes..." Fuyuki slowly muttered, the sound of his voice slight horror and concern that was only natural for a parent would make. "But...those girls, my daughter, their just children, Councilman, most of them are barely older than fifteen years, and yet you're telling me that they are the ones who serve as the beacon driving out these...these..." he was about to finish with the word "monsters" but when looked at the longer implications, it would seem that the appropriate term is nothing short of evil.

"And that is why the Foundation is keeping a close watch on them from the shadows so that we can at least alleviate their burden as they have more than enough problems to deal with on the "local" level and I'm saying that very loosely as it ranges from local to universal real quick," Councilman Walker said as he too agreed with the sentiments of the Prime Minister. "These horrors had always served as a part of the Foundation's daily fare. Since the mid-1940s, I and several of my fellow O5 have agreed to give the preferred briefing personally to the leaders of PC Earth-2004, the official IU Designation of your planet which is the center and hub for various benevolent fairy races and powers for good. Simply put, we cannot deny the reality that these girls are the first and last line of defense for your world and your entire universe since they have been great powers to combat evil, even the horrors that every modern military would be forced to retreat from as they would be ceremoniously destroyed very quickly. However, it must be reminded as well that they are just teenagers just as you said. While they are busy fighting their personal monsters, it is up to us adults to get these "other monsters" away from them. if we can. Through your connections, you'd act as the one who would monitor for any Precure activity in Japan through the official reports that the JSDF could provide you with as it is part of the official protocols when pertaining to the Precure. Some of the main troubles that we have though as adults for fair warning and clarity's sake is that some of these "other monsters" that I mentioned in passing are the very persistent ones that needed to be dealt with by our "other associates"."

"Like the Kamen Riders?" Fuyuki muttered as if some part of him still couldn't believe that he would include the Kamen Riders, a fictional tokusatsu franchise as far as Japan and the rest of the world is concerned, in an official conversation with a high-ranking official whose job is to maintain peace and order throughout the Multiverse.

"Yes," Councilman Walker nodded with a grim look accompanied by a subtle smile. "And we already have one on the ground, on your very own Earth, and one of his official duties is to act as the Precure's guardian angel, no matter if it was the past, present, and future, and that probably includes other universes as well that have their own Precure."

"George Kurai...Yes, that young man...But then, this Kamen Rider is a young man who's barely an adult as well. He's too young for these kinds of problems. He should be focused on school and other things like the rest of his age should care about," Fuyuki spoke his complaint, concerned as well for the young man who would be involved in such dangerous activity.

"He hasn't been a young man since his late parents had died, Prime Minister," Councilman Walker spoke gravely. "And even more so when he first became a Kamen Rider and tasted tragedy right in the face."

"..." the Prime Minister couldn't help but remain quiet as he was reminded of the information.

Yes...that little conundrum.

One that the Prime Minister had read from the official file concerning the young man.

When he first became a Kamen Rider, it was something that was on the very spur of the moment. It was one marked by pain and suffering when trying so deeply hard to save anyone. But he couldn't as he was powerless and that resulted in his near demise.

When he became Zi-O, it was likened to that of a second chance in life. He was actually supposed to die the moment when the dreaded Ultron once shot him point blank by trying to defend a young girl from his wrath.

And it was on that day when the Heir of Time was born from the ashes like a phoenix when he was offered a power that he could not refuse as he saw the destruction of an Earth without mercy, systematic and with purpose, born from a twisted imperative that in order to have "peace in our time", humans and other biological organisms must be eradicated from the face of existence.

And George Kurai, the Heir of Time, saw this in a way that he could never unsee.

It happened on an Earth full of superheroes. Once, there were dozens and dozens of superheroes on that Earth. Now, there was none left. And with it, humanity fall at the hands of the Hero Killer - the dreaded Ultron.

Of course, George Kurai could not forget that experience as he accidentally stumbled upon that Earth by an anomalous passage from one world to another.

He stumbled. He fell. He almost but surely died. The scars may have healed on the outside but on the inside, the scars were still there interiorly.

On that day when he became a Kamen Rider, George Kurai had been given the feeling of traumatic experiences, including the fact of not being able to save the young girl who was the same age as himself. And he will carry them and the horror of it for the rest of his days.

One supposed that it was one of the reasons why George Kurai barely has time to sleep sometimes. He doesn't want to remember them.

Noah - Spiritual Domination

Back in the present timeline...

Hagukumi City has seen better days at least as the sun sets and early nightfall remains.

By some manner of a miracle, the 14th Legion Clone Troopers were able to thoroughly hold off the Ultron invasion force back as multiple blue-colored high-density beams were seen to be fired from all directions with precision and point blank range. Rifles and carbines were clocked with every single second as each golden chrome-colored Ultron Sentinel fell to the Clone Troopers whose professional training and experience were seen clearly on the battlefields.

HST-LAATs were seen from the skies, the gunship's gun turrets were firing green-colored high-density beams that managed to decimate countless Ultron Sentinels from the skies. Portals from the gunship itself were allowing multiple Clone Troopers from the same Legion to appear in droves, shooting down every single Ultron Sentinel in their line of sight as they jump to the ground.

IS Clone Troopers Pilots, belonging to the same Legion, were seen from the skies as they open fire upon the Ultron Sentinels while dodging every red-colored high-intensity beam that was being shot by the hundreds. When these pilots dodge with their IS Units, they mean business. One would almost feel like you were watching a dogfight between various military fighter aircraft, only in this case, the fighter aircraft being the IS Units that were being used by the Clone Pilots as they materialize various onboard weaponry in their arsenal.

Every clone who was present on this battlefield were having their own interior thoughts on this invasion. The common thought that unites many of them is Ultron. They've all heard the stories, some of them in fact had seen just how truly dangerous this monster of metal really was as they saw the systematic decimation of societies, both before and after. Many of their own brothers fell to this metal abomination, so it is quite natural for the clones to have a personal score to settle with Ultron.

When it comes to battles against Ultron, this battle was one of the more personal and impressionable ones due to how many of their brothers and other innocent lives were killed on official and unofficial records.

The suburbs were almost thoroughly secured. Civilians have been safely evacuated and no civilian casualty is reported so far, no thanks to not only the efforts of the clones, but there was the credit that is given to the local superheroes of this world known as the Precure. From the Futari wa Precure Team to the Go! Princess Precure Team who were using all of their combined might to hold this invasion and thoroughly decimate the Ultron Sentinels.

"You have been dee-AWHKKKKKKKK!" one Ultron Sentinel was killed instantly, his head getting blown off by the Clone Trooper who was present in one area of the city.

Cure Black, Cure White, and Shiny Luminous were seen from the intersection of the city and have managed to destroy every Ultron Sentinel in sight. Even after all this time, based on numerous experiences, they proved that they earned the titles of the strongest and most powerful among the Precure. With each punch and kick, the various bolts and crannies from the Ultron Sentinels were seen lying on the ground.

"You have be-AWWWKKK!" one Ultron Sentinel was fried of its circuits due to Cure Black and Cure White shooting it down with their lightning. The rest of the Ultron Sentinels, counting at least five more, were shot by the clones who were with them. The clones were all kneeling with one foot as they aim their carbines with precision. And then, they charge forward to the east.

ZIKAN DESPEAR! YARISUGI!

One Zikan Despear was seen being thrown straight ahead, cutting down many countless Ultron Sentinels that were coming in from the east and afterward returned to Kiriya Irizawa, otherwise known as Kamen Rider Woz, holding the weapon with his right hand.

He was walking towards Cure Black, Cure White, and Shiny Luminous were located, the latter seeing the former as they smiled at the approaching Kamen Rider. But none were more so happy to see Woz than Cure Black and Cure White, the very first friends that Woz had ever since he could recall from back in the day before he became a Kamen Rider. Even more so was Cure White who can be seen smiling brightly with a type of smile that holds something far more than mere friendship and held a type of sadness for the past and hope for the future. This type of smile was something that made Woz feel a little bit of guilt that still lingered within his mind as this was the very first time that they have met since the very last encounter in chronological terms.

For Woz, it was a very long time as his entire life was retconned into that of a human being at the first defeat of the Dark King, having a normal family and a happy childhood, something that he never got to have the first time around.

"Are you girls doing alright from here?" Woz asked.

"Yes, Kiriya-kun, we're alright so far," Cure White smiled, nodding.

"And honestly, Kiriya-kun, you as a Kamen Rider? Never did I imagine something like that happening anytime soon before all of this craziness happened," Cure Black made a slight joke attempt with a smile that said that she was just as glad to see that Woz was doing well.

"Well, a lot had happened to me since we last met, Nagisa-senpai," Woz smiled from underneath his armor.

"Oh yes, we are going to have a nice talk about that after this is all over, right, Kiriya-kun?" Cure White gave him a meaningful look and smile that spoke volumes to Woz which let him sweat a little in worry.

"Kiriya-kun, correct?" Shiny Luminous smiled as she addressed the Kamen Rider. "It's a pleasure to finally meet you in person since Nagisa and Honoka have often spoken of you from time to time."

"And I of course am happy to finally meet you in person, Kujou-san," Woz smiled.

"General," one Clone Trooper was heading in his direction. "We've received word that most of the suburban areas have been cleared of all hostiles. Some of the tech boys have managed to find the trace pattern figurations of how the Ultron Sentinels teleport and cut out their communication lines with the CEMPs. The battle is almost won."

"Thank god for that one," Woz sighed out of relief, knowing that they managed to win most of the battle for now.

And that moment, Geiz was seen just right in front of them, having just got back from devastating more than three thousand strong Ultron Sentinels, still wearing the Gatack Armor.

"Hey guys, did I miss anything while I was busy?" Geiz smiled as he asked.

"Not really," Woz replied. "We just finished mopping up any of the Ultron Sentinels that had been causing havoc around here. I have to say that this is quite the rarity when it comes to Ultron."

"Yeah, I know what you mean," Geiz said in a grave tone.

The Futari wa Precure Team noticed the sudden shift of tone when the Kamen Riders were discussing the obviously dreaded artificial intelligence known as Ultron. And it was because of this that they could only glance at each other, worried most especially of Kiriya as he seems to know something that they don't.

"Um...Kiriya-kun," Cure White asked delicately. "Just what do you mean when you said that it is a rarity when you refer to Ultron?"

Woz was rather quiet. And the only response that he had was turning his head in another direction, almost hesitating to talk about it.

"Um...let's just say that things don't end too well for a lot of people whenever Ultron is around, Honoka," Woz answered in a careful tone.

But Cure White, along with Cure Black and Shiny Luminous somehow caught the meaning behind the words as their eyes widened in shock. On the one hand, they felt unsurprised by this revelation. On the other hand, they were terrified if not more obvious because of the implications of what had not been said.

Somewhere in another part of the city...

Souji Tendou, also known as Kamen Rider Kabuto, was locked in a Clock Up battle against Another Cure Amour/Ultron who was now sporting a lot of damage in her body based on the slash marks and the half-torn-off face that she now had which was located to the right side. There were also the various melted holes in her body to consider, courtesy of the Kunaigun that Kabuto was using as he sends Ultron back down to the open road and crashed to the ground, creating artificial marks. From what it could be estimated, it had been over an hour or so since the two had been fighting. But then, time can be a bit murky when it comes to Clock Up in general.

"...!"

From where the crash happens, Cure Melody, Cure Rhythm, Cure Diamond, Cure Berry, and many other Precure who were present on the scene alongside many Clone Troopers noticed Ultron crashing onto the open road.

Clock Over!

Kabuto was now seen standing tall, looking down at Ultron whose possessed Another Cure Amour was heavily damaged. He raises his Kunaigun, not taking any chances for the AI to talk as he of all people knew just how dangerous this monster truly is, shooting her down with a specific pulse blast that managed to disable her internal systems which emitted bluish-colored lightning.

"GRAAAAAAAKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKK! Error! System has been heavily compromised! Repair deemed impossible! Self-destruct immin-!"

And just like that, Ultron's hold of Another Cure Amour was cut out by Kabuto, much to the subtle relief of the latter as he lowered his Kunaigun. But of course, he wasn't naïve as he made a thorough check for any type of specific radio frequency from his visors, trying to detect any trace of the dangerous AI, only to find none at all. As he did a thorough check, he could only narrow his eyes in concern at the subtle device that was implanted just near the chest of Another Cure Amour. A hidden thermonuclear bomb that could be remotely activated if the situation is deemed a total failure by an outside party.

"Command, this is Kabuto, I'm going to need you to send the Ordinance Specialists to pick up the discarded body of Another Cure Amour to come to my location which is somewhere just near an open road where five buildings are located along with an intersection nearby. Situation: Normal But Impending," Kabuto spoke from his visor.

"Copy that sir, standing by," one Clone Trooper Operator said from the comms.

And then, multiple Clone Troopers numbering from around twenty were transported as white sparks of light were seen to appear from around the area. After the sophisticated transport, they were now heading towards the location where Kabuto and the discarded body were.

These men wearing the same type of light purple color scheme armor with the "S.O.N.G." Emblem on their shoulders and musical notes, the same as the rest of the 14th Legion, but carry a difference based on their unique "beehive" helmets and flexible leather armor accoutrement worn from the belt with specialized equipment. Aside from being ordinance specialists, these men were known to be the 14th Legion's Clone Paratroopers.

"Bomb Squad, checking in, sir," one Clone Paratrooper said, saluting Kabuto with respect.

"Good, make sure to handle this body carefully and thoroughly check for any possible trap that may be installed without our knowing of it," Kabuto ordered.

"Sir, yes, sir," the Clone Paratrooper said out of respect and obedience. Afterward, he and his fellow paratroopers were inspecting the body as part of their expertise.

In the meantime, Kabuto noticed all of the nearby Precure staring at him in awe, with some still couldn't believe that they were actually fighting alongside a Kamen Rider, and it was the one from 2006 to 2007 in terms of television production and chronological terms. He walks toward them, with some muttering "Oh god, he's coming this way," in subtle excitement.

"Are you girls alright so far?" Kabuto asked out of concern.

"Y-Yes," Cure Melody reacted immediately, answering positively. "We're...We're alright so far, um..."

And then, the comm channel came live as Kabuto begins to hear it from his visor.

"General, this is Commander Mars. I just wanted to inform you that General Kurai is now engaged with the Shredder in the past and Professor Paradox wanted me to warn you about this and give a heads-up," Commander Ares Mars said as he spoke from the channel.

"I see," Kabuto narrowed his eyes. "Thank you for telling me this, Commander."
