Noob: Finally! Glad to dish this one out, honestly it just polish the grammer even more but I keep getting distracted, but hey no time like now so here is another rewritten chapter. Thanks you again for the attention everyone giving these stories.


Chapter 3: Reconvene! The Wingless Bird and the Empty King!

Disclaimer: Kamen Rider created by Ishinomori Shotaro while Senki Zesshou Symphogear is licensed by Discotek Media. I gain no profit from this and don't own any of the series, the proof is the lack of official crossover.


("It had been three weeks since the attack of the Noises at the Zwei Wing's concert. The number of causalities are estimated to around 200, among it there have been 50 confirmed dead. The government once again refuse to comment on any definite solutions against the threat poise by the Noises. It had also been stated that among the causalities is Amou Kanade herself, one of the main singer of the Zwei Wing. While she has survived the tragedy, her agency has commented she is under dangerous condition, and thanked the fans for all their support during these tough time.")

The screen of the television then go blank as the owner turn it off with a sigh.

"Man...those Noises! And my daughter was such a big fan of that group too heck even I am hooked, such a shame...oh I am so sorry Eiji-kun here is your money."

A man seem to be in his forty, dressed in casual clothing of a jean and t-shirt, handed an amount of cash to none other than Hino Eiji, who doesn't seem he like want to take it.

"It is not necessary Takana-san, you already allow me to have a place to sleep after all." Eiji said, trying to push back the money.

But the store owner would have none of that.

"Now don't you said that Eiji-kun, not only did you earnestly work like my employee, actually I wish my employee work like you. Seriously you are like five of those lazy retards combined." The old man grumbled a bit before he grinned. "Yep! You also helped my kid with her homework too! Do you known she finally pass the test thanks to you? And you didn't even ask for anything more than a roof over your head. This is as much as I can do to repay you."

It seem obvious that the old man wouldn't budge on his decision, Eiji just sigh with a smile as he take the money.

"My thanks then Tanaka-san, this will help me on my trip." Eiji said as he pocketed, the thankfully recognizable, Yen currency. "Well this is goodbye for now Tanaka-san and said goodbye to your daughter for me too."

With that he wave goodbye an act that was return by the old man as he leave the grocery store that has been his sleeping place for the past four days.

Hino Eiji is someone that shouldn't be in this world, thus he begin his journey quietly, with the world seemingly unaware of this small change.


In the alley, Hitomi can't help but regret in her choice of choosing this short cut. She can't help but think how if she just not be so lazy and use the usual road from her school to her house then she won't have to be in this situation. But all those thought are irrelevant to her right now since she only want to scream her throat out for someone to help, but despite this her efforts are for naught as a masculine hand had tightly clamp over her mouth. Making any sound she made become only a muffled cry.

The owner of these hands instead of feeling uncomfortable only seem to take in more pleasure seeing the pretty girl teary and scared expression as she try to cry for help. He is a man who could be consider giant, like one of those who one would see go in and out of the gym a lot or who used to fighting. And judge by the amount of scar he has the latter seem to be more possible. Behind him is two scrawny man, who faces mirror each other with a lecherous grin.

"Hehehe...that's right cry more, sweety. And see if there anyone who will come for you."

The brute said calmly, but his excitement still leak through.

"Hah! We really in luck today, for a hot piece of meat like this just drop by. Boss hurry up please! We also want to take our turn!" One of them urged.

While the leader himself just turn around and give his subordinate a smirk.

"Always so tactless, when will you be like your bro and become a true gentlemen? How can you please any lady like that, am I right?"

The man then turned back to the young girl as he asked this, and despite how sickly gentle he try to make his voice is in this situation, the leer in his eyes make the young girl's heart paused in fear. The gaze that is no different from a lion look at a wounded deer. The realization hit her like brick, to these man, monsters, she is nothing but a toy for them to break. There will be no chance for her to get out of this, no doubt when they done with her they will just kill her and then probably dispose of her body. It will probably take month before someone can even find her remain.

The desperation hit her so hard she actually just want to bite her tongue and be done with it but the hand tightly clamped her mouth forbidden her to do that and seem like noticed her mouth movement the leader of the gangster turn to her again.

"Heh. Want to kill yourself? It always make the experience dull. Sorry princess but I prefer it more if you can still squirm and scream for me." The beast said coldly.

He slowly lean toward her, his heavy body press on her small frame and for a moment she can only close her eyes and await for her cruel fate.

And so she wait...

and wait...

and wait...

Only for it to never came. The fear and desperation affect her so much that while she closing her eyes she didn't notice the hand covering her mouth was not there anymore, actually the dark laughter that was filling this alley until just a minute ago also gone. As the girl finally gather enough courage to open her eyes again she prepared to come face to face with those disgusted monsters looking at her with their wicked smirk again.

And she did see them when she open her eyes, but she has to rub her eyes again to make sure she isn't hallucinating.

All of them are lying on the ground. And if she didn't known any better she would thought the lump in their forehead indicate someone flicked it with their finger so hard it actually knocked these guys out. But that is impossible, right? She also suddenly realize that someone had put jacket over her to help cover her body, which the girl instantly cling onto like it made from the most expensive of silk.

Before she can get out of her shock though, sound of various foot steps approach along with the sound of siren. Idly she wonder maybe it was the police force who did this despite how weird it would be if that's the case but the confused expression on the the policemen shared by her seem to completely rule out that possibilities.

"Freeze! We receive a phone call that someone is sexual assaulting a young girl here!" One of the policeman said, he quickly check on Hitomi when he saw her condition.

The other inspect the goon. One of the cop inspect the leader who covered Hitomi's mouth, which he soon notice part of the man facial hair is a disguise, the officer tear it off only to gasp as he notice the familiar face.

"God damn...Kuro Kenji. Then these guys are the Panther Gang." The policeman whispered in recognition.

He is surprised by the finding for sure but year of training and experience prevent him from squealing like a new blood. Wasting no time, he radio in the suspect and work on to set the handcuff on the confirmed wanted man. His coworker all have a shocked expression as they check on the criminals to confirm it for themselves.

Kuro Kenji or Kenji the Scarred Boar was due to the fact he is said to be strong enough to crack a guy skull with one punch, a statement with proof behind it, along with the scar on his face which he get from one of his fight with other gang. He and his Panther Gang had been wanted by the police for various crime of murders and rapes along but there was never concrete proof. He was still listed as a wanted man due to resist and assault a police officer who asked him to come back to the station. Despite all that, he is not a brainless brute and was smart enough to avoid their detection and lay low most of the time thus he is listed as one of the most wanted criminal around these blocks. Yet now for this notorious criminal to be gift wrapped like this with clear proof for his act, which will be coming from Hitomi's statement.

"Who could have done this?" The policeman muttered in thought.

Unlike Hitomi, the policeman get to check the wound and while the gangs are still breathing, this small lump can only be caused by...actually he has no idea, probably will need some forensic opinion here. But something with such force and precise to not crack the man skull completely, maybe someone really decided to just finger flick these criminals for being misbehave.

"Yeah, isn't that a thought...then again...I live in a world where things like Noises exist...so what's wrong with believe in a good impossibility once a while. Heh, a passing by superhero."

Hitomi herself were of course frozen stiff, even as the female police officer move in to comfort her and bring her to safety. The terrifying feeling that have subdued now rose back again ten times stronger, yet at the same time she can only pray in gratitude toward the one who had helped her.

Above the rooftops, the one who hold the answers quietly leave with a sigh of relief.

And the girl is not the only one, somewhere around these areas, many was under life threatening situation result from either from a criminal or accidents like a fire, car crash or accidents, yet miraculously they were saved at the last minute. The only thing they known is that someone, rather than a stroke of fortune have helped them. Wondering if it is a guardian angel in disguise.

Hino Eiji keep on walking to his destination, the world ignorant of this small change keep on going in their life normally. But for some individuals, they will remember it for the rest of their life.


Opening: Synchrogazer.

Cover Image: Greeed Ankh got pin to the ground by Poseidon's Deepest Harpoon, with his foot on the Greeed's chest, around them balls of fire are extinguished by rain and storm.


Eiji let out a sigh of relief, thankfully the police arrived right away the moment he called them. He can't exactly linger around, given the fact the questionings of policeman might lead to them find out his lack of identification in this world, but all well end well so he has naught to worry anymore. At this point he sure the police has delivered the girl back to the arms of her family safe and sound.

Thus he once more tap into the Purple Medals within him. With their nature as void, it ironically make them more sensitive to other Core Medals, pure desire given forml. Idly, Eiji wonder if he making Gara and the other Alchemists turn in his second grave, seeing he using the Medals created to destroy Desire, for the purpose of find and help his friend, a Greeed.

Letting his mind wander, Eiji also went through what he learn of this world he in and the subtle difference it has with his. First and foremost, no Riders. Not a single Kamen Riders related rumor can be found. Then there is the Noises, menace with unknown origin, turning everything they touch to dust and ashes. With modern weapons useless, except the two girls, the Zwei Wing being an exception he seen with his own eyes, if a Riders are here in this world, given his own experience and how it been for the fellow Riders he know, he was sure some kind of rumor would have exist in regard to this.

For all intent and purpose, pulling a book out of Ankh's pages have been interesting. Eiji on the web actually caught a glimpse of a thread about magical girl protect mankind against the Noises, which was utterly dismissed and also liked for comedic reasons, until that thread is gone and everyone forgot among countless threads that got post and delete everyday, except for Eiji mainly due to what he seen. He sure hope this is not a cue to believe every random thread online, interpreting them really have been more of Ankh's thing. It said a lot about both of them for Eiji's skill with the website, while decent enough to navigate, was miles behind from Ankh who woke up after 800 years.

As Eiji thought of those girls though, he was once more reminded of that scene. The red haired girl, Amou Kanade, with her fearless smile, even as blood trail down her lips. And then all those ash that linger everywhere in the destroyed stadium, those were undoubtedly human being that had been killed by Noises.

"And for them to be that much." Eiji thought, his eyes subconsciously flashed violet for a brief second.

But that was enough for the bystanders around him to all shivered for few seconds. The people in the street wondered how a rush of cold air just passed by like winter come early, when it was just after the end of summer.

Seeing this the vagabond quickly recompose himself as he let out a sigh. He understand better than anyone that this is reality, someone will always be in trouble and some won't get any help. He known it well, rather it is because how well he understand that fact, that he can't help but think maybe if he been there sooner...

Eiji quickly shake his head to disperse that thought, thinking it like that will only make the Purple Medals more unstable, which will only make searching for Anhk's Medals tougher. So right now he need to push those thought back, he will focus on finding and helping his friend right now instead of thinking of what if. Although now he think about it, Ankh no doubt would berate him if the Greeed saw him so maybe when that time come he should prepare some ice cream first?

Then again, maybe Eiji should search place that sell ice cream first? It is never enough for Ankh after all.


Miles upon miles away, at the edge of the city near the beach.

"I have had ENOUGH of these damn snow cone!"

Exclaimed the very same Greeed in his true form, Ankh quickly take up to the sky to dodge various ice spikes launched past him. Even though he is in his all powerful Greeed form, one could see he is wounded as various slash wound and gash could be seen on his body.

His opponent, in contrast to a tensed up Ankh that ready for any attack, have a confident and nonchalant posture. The ever familiar yellow eyepieces meet with Ankh's gaze, along with a familiar armor, that Ankh thought he had seen the last of it. The enemy lightly lean on the crimson spear known as Deepest Harpoon that was stabbed by its pole to the ground. His posture is of one that radiate wave of pure and seemingly unlimited powers, his presence alone could choke the life out of any lesser man. But Ankh is not a Greeed for nothing, despite slightly weaker, he still show a powerful battle aura that clash with his enemy enough to show that he he is still the Greeed of the Sky.

"To still alive after all that, are you sure you are not a cockroach, Poseidon?" Ankh asked tauntingly, despite the wound he has.

His opponent instead of feeling offended, just let out a dry chuckle.

"To be cornered by a cockroach like me, it seem you are indeed an antique, my Predecessor." Poseidon said mockingly.

Ankh just let out an annoyed grunt.

Seems like it won't be easy to goat the walking armor to make a mistake. Then again among all the Greeed only Uva had ever fall for such trick, while Kazari was more vile than Ankh was to even consider it. Mezool, like the affinity she represent is too calm and in control. And for Gamel as unbelievable as it sound, Ankh think he actually resemble Eiji, too dumb to fall for it.

The thought of that idiot actually made Ankh have a small smile in his mind, if that idiot known he is in trouble no doubt he would tear open space itself to come and help him. And that is something Ankh didn't want to happen.

"Last thing I need...is more debt that idiot can hold over my head." Ankh thought.

Then, hot and powerful flame start to conjure around him, as the avian themed Greeed ready for another attack.

"Hoh...it seem you still has the will to fight, and here I thought you would wait for OOO to come and help you. Not that I mind, in fact that is just what I hope." Poseidon said.

One could feel a vile smile on the armored Greeed as he take up his Harpoon in battle stance again. Blue aqua aura cloaked his Harpoon in response to Ankh's radiating fiery power.

From outside perspective one would thought it as if nature is picking a fight against each other, the burning heat of the sun against the ruthless and unending wave of the sea.

The two Greeeds then simultaneously disappear before both reappear at the same time face to face as flamed fist clash against blade of the spear, multiple explosions surround them during their powers clash. Both of them engage in a cycle of separate then slam to each other with their attacks, both waiting for an opening, all the while their clashes bring forth thundering boom.

But after a whole minute of clashing against each other it was obvious Ankh is the one at disadvantage, he try to keep up with the force of Poseidon. But the other Greeed simply outclass him by a large margin, seeing how Poseidon didn't even show sign of exhaustion, pumping out so much energy, in contrast to Ankh who is showing slight breathing. But Ankh is not someone who would accept defeat just because his strength was not enough, if brute power won't match then he would use his skills to made up to it.

This time after breaking off from the struggle instead of charge forward again, Ankh took up to the sky to avoid a swing from the Harpoon that released an energy slash. When the red Greeed gain enough altitude, he aim both palms downward and multiple fire orbs surround him, with a silent command a volley of fireball rain down on Poseidon like, well, rain. For ten seconds, almost two to three miles of the coast were covered in explosions after explosions with Poseidon trapped in the middle of it. Ankh actually glad that they have pick a fight here, if it was in the city no doubt it would have been a perfect recreation of a decade warzone already.

If it was few months back and someone tell Ankh that eventually he would care for a well-being of humanity, no doubt that person would be running screaming with a burning head. But that was before he met Eiji, Ankh can't deny it remind him of how he himself had once want to make a human girl happy too. But the way she had take her life when she gain her eyesight and saw the price everyone else had to pay for that to happen and the betrayal from the King had make him forgot that feeling. It was only by meeting Eiji he has once again start to care a bit for the well-being of humanity and other living beings.

Sure it not enough for him to stop pointing out how most of humanity is a walking fuel for their own desires and the only redeeming quality is how headstrong they can be for said desire, consequences be damned. But hey, progress.

As Ankh stop his assault below him smoke and flame covered the coast, if it was anyone else surely they would have perish without a trace, but Poseidon is not just anyone and Ankh was also not someone who would take a risk so he used his Taka Eyesight to look pass all the smoke to the spot where Poseidon was.

And because of that he manage to avoid just in time as a huge tendril formed by water shot out from the smoke and rush through the spot he was at until just a second ago. Without even a chance to let out a curse he begin to take flight again as multiple tendril of water rush at him again, the fact that these tendrils are locked on to him make it even worse. With every curve or turn Ankh made, the tendrils would bend itself to chase after him, few times Ankh almost get cornered but he show his wing is not for decoration as he skillfully maneuver his movements through the air.

But eventually the tendrils tenacity paid off as its manage to corner the red Greeed, he saw that in all direction there is a drill aiming at him. Seeing there is no way to avoid it, Ankh outstretched both his arms, energy radiate from him as rainbow colored orb of energy encased him. Right at that moment the drills slam itself from all direction, Ankh struggle to keep his barrier up but the tendrils spin faster in its clash against the barrier surface. Energy spark shot out from the clash while the sky around the coast darkened from the fierce clash between flame and water in the air. Finally with a roar Ankh throw both his arm wide, as the same time the barrier follow his command expand itself before exploded outward pushing all the water tendrils back and also vaporize them to steam with the barrier intense heat released.

However, despite his momentarily victory in that clash, Ankh doesn't come out unaffected. As he let out a grunt along with few ragged breath it become clear he had put a lots of his energy for the move. But Ankh known he can't relax yet and as if to confirm his thought, the sound of laughter can be heard. As Ankh expected despite how he wish he was wrong, Poseidon from the smoke slowly raise up without a scratch. Ironically surrounding him is also a barrier like Ankh used just now but instead of mixed color like Ankh, it is a clear blue aqua. The other different is despite taking so much attack the barrier only show a few crack and not actually broken like Ankh, as if to add prove to the gaps between Ankh and Poseidon's powers.

"To think we both use the same move to counter each other attacks, it seem great minds do think alike eh?" Poseidon asked with amusement in his voice.

Ankh just let out an annoyed grunt again.

"Cut the bull crap. If you think just because you manage to overpower me for a moment that mean you will win then you have another thing coming for you, faker." Ankh said as he try to conjure up another fire ball.

Despite how Ankh hide it, he known it was obvious to Poseidon that he won't last much longer, that doesn't mean he would just stand still and let that bastard take his Cored Medals of course.

In response, Poseidon just let out a chuckle.

"No Ankh, I known I can win because I can overpower you easily." Poseidon said.

The moment he finish his sentence, his energy spike up radically, as the same time the area where they are fighting start to shaken.

"NO! Is not the coast. This is...his power is having this much affect to the sea!?"

Just as Ankh noticed, the movement of the sea at the coast suddenly become even more violent than since the fight began.

Meanwhile Poseidon suddenly cackled madly as he twirl his Harpoon rapidly upward, as if following his movement, the ocean water rose up and revolve around him forming a tornado, the sky weather also change as dark cloud gather and thunder strike around the newly born disaster.

Meanwhile Ankh can only use all his strength to prevent himself being pull into the current of the tornado, he didn't even has a chance to conjure up a barrier or a return attack. Barely able to see with his vision, Ankh was able to spot Poseidon swing his Harpoon forward, the follow his command the aquatic tornado rush toward Ankh who can only look on to his impending doom.

"Heh...so I will get to die a second time, guess this is kind of my desire too eh?" Ankh thought with a bitter smile.

In less than a second Ankh the Greeed would be no more than a pile of Medals. At least that how it should be if it wasn't for a familiar sound that ring out despite the screaming tornado coming toward Ankh.

[TRIPPLE SCANNING CHARGE!]

Not a second later an energy slash horizontally cut open the tornado leaving a gap for Ankh to pass through, before he can process what happening, the Greeed felt an arm wrap around his shoulder and a familiar voice call out to him.

"Ankh! Hurry up and fly through!"

Without hesitation Ankh acted accordingly, because he known this voice, even amidst the scream of thunder and lightning, Ankh was still able to recognize the voice of an only person he can ever truly called friend.

"As if it will be that easy!" Poseidon roared.

He wave his Harpoon again and the halves of the tornado start to be reconnect but Ankh already fly pass it and land a distance away, back on the beach safely. But as Ankh feet touch the ground, he instantly drop to one knee in exhaustion. The newcomer seeing this just smile softly as he offer the wounded Greeed a hand. Ankh just look at the hand quietly before he look up.

"Tch. Just what are you doing here, idiot?" Ankh growled, but there a sense of relief in it.

In response to it the figure just let out a low chuckle.

"Isn't obvious? To reach out to your hand of course."

The Rider answered back as if it was the most natural thing in the world as he still held out his hand, Ankh despite look like annoyed still grasp that hand. And finally the pair of friend known as the Empty King and the Wingless Bird finally untied again in this foreign world.


About an hour ago.

After finished his burger, Eiji throw the wrapper to the trash can. Then he continue his search, though he is surprised with how much more noticable Ankh's presence is now. This can only mean, Ankh is using his power in battle. And Eiji didn't has to wait long to have a clue of who it is since another set of Medals presence make itself known to him and it was one that was part of the very recent crisis he faced with his junior. But that was impossible, shouldn't Kannagi be destroyed by their combined strength?

"If it not Lem Kannagi then..."

It is possible, Eiji is no stranger to how resilience the Greeed can be after all, Uva was destroyed and have only one Core Medals left to store his conscious in it and he still manage to make a comeback. So Poseidon could very well still alive and he is in this world, Ankh is in danger. The presence of Poseidon dwarf Ankh, and his energy signature is already very large by itself. This mean he is not only back but Poseidon just become even more dangerous than he was before.

As Eiji right now he can't use the Scorching Combo but he thankfully has a new alternative option. Eiji remember a new item Kougami had gifted to him, via the delivery of Erika and a recorded Happy Birthday Song come along as a package of course. In the eccentric President's own words 'a more convenient steed for the wandering king(vagabond)'. Rummaging through the pile of stuff he has which include few Cells Medals, some Candroids, which helped him a lots for intel gathering, and of course some coins change, he finally found what he looking for.

About a size of a handheld console, is a mini version of Machine Vendor Mode. This was suppose to help for the fact that as popular the Vending Machine of Kougami Foundation maybe, it cannot be in everywhere that Eiji travel to and this will strip him one of the core feature as a Rider. And venture to a whole different world would classify under one of those situation where he can't access a Ride Vedor. So Eiji offer a nod of thanks once more despite this time Kougami isn't here to see it, but he can just imagine the man wide smile that borderline estatic in response.

With no time to waste, Eiji follow the instruction and insert three Cell Medals to the coin slot on the back of the device, making it almost look like a small piggy bank. Despite the lack of space for three large coins given it size, the Cell Medals have no trouble sliding in. The mini Vendor then glow in a manner almost similar to when Birth conjure one of his weapons, Eiji quickly toss it to the ground just in time for it to grow to the size the Ride Vendor meant to be, then the Vendor automatically go into bike mode.

"Uwah, amazing." Eiji said in awe.

This really remind him of a gadget in Doraemon, but then again Kougami Foundation made the Birth System using Cell Medals too so this should be expected somewhat. Getting over his surprise and remember the main issue at hand, Eiji quickly hop to the bike and the engine roar to life. He drive out of the empty street joining the city traffic and go full speed to where Ankh is.

Few people left in the park still stare in wonder at the enlarged, transformed bike but Eiji had already gone by the time they could have ask anything, another weird rumors added to the like of 'armor hero that save people in trouble' in this city, they sprung up a lot one after another for the past few days.


Meanwhile on the 2nd Division side, things are not calm for them either. Despite there was no Noises detection, the staff of the Division are on full alert mode with the sound of keyboards being hit filled the room completely. Sakurai Ryoko staring at the screen that is showing countless calculation and charts with a complete concentrated expression, next to her Kazanari Genjuro has a steeled expression fully ready for the unknown event that is occurring.

"One of the two high level energies we detected just raise up even more! It had completely outclass the other energy signal near it!" Tomosato Aoi reported grimly.

"At this rate the area near it will definitely be affected! We have to move on with evacuate procedure right away!" Fujitaka Sakuya added with matched expression of dire.

"Contact with the stationed force near the location! Tell them to treat this just like a Noises attack! The citizen's safety is our highest priority here!" Genjuro ordered sternly, the staff quickly follow his command, he then turn to Ryoko who still observe the chart with an intrigued expression. "Is Tsubasa ready?"

"She already on post now and is waiting for the order." Ryoko replied, eyes still glue on the data.

Genjuro connect his link to his niece who already in the helicopter waiting to be taken off.

"This is Kazanari Tsubasa, Commander what is the order?" Tsubasa asked.

"Tsubasa, the situation is different from the Noises. The energies we detecting right now is huge and it causing damage to the surrounding area. We still do not grasp the situation clearly yet so when you arrive to the scene, make sure you observe the situation before decide your course of action. Is that clear?"

"Understood. I am ready to move out." Tsubasa responded rigidly.

As she about to close the communication Genjuro call out to her again.

"Tsubasa, I known this is tough after what just happen..." Genjuro began, his voice now has hint of softness in its.

But his niece cut him off instantly.

"Please do not worry, I will not make any mistake because of it. If anything I will work for Kanade's part as well." Tsubasa said.

At that moment her controlled tone cracked and show a hint of emotional conviction in it as she turn off the link. The helicopter then move out, Tsubasa unknowingly going to the destination shared with OOO himself.


As Tsubasa look out from the helicopter, the scene in front of her is no different from a natural disaster aftermath. At the coast of the city, water vortexes formed with the wind bellow like a roar of a beast. The current of the winds is so strong it effect the helicopter she on, resulting in light shaking. DEown below the citizen in panic quickly evacuate following direction from the staff of the government but despite their effort, from up here Tsubasa can see there are area where people are so panic that they trample upon each other in hope of getting to safety.

Despite being used to Noises attack, this is on a whole different scale. Tsubasa let her mask of concentration slip for a moment, allow uncertainty to bleed into her feature, but then that that moment passed in seconds, replaced once more with a stone faced expression when the girl reminded herself she is not alone.

"That's right...because I am weak that I am alone now, because I let my emotion, my fear and doubt get in the way hence Kanade not here. Because of that I will be a sword, I have to. A sword doesn't known fear because a sword is not alive...a sword simply cut down the enemy in front of it. And for that...the sword will be the best protector of all." Tsubasa muttered in a chant like manner as she closed her eyes shut.

When she opened her eyes again, whoever can see it would have comment how devoid it look. A blank gaze that seem to not likely for a living being, a gaze that not unlike a gleam of a sharp blade that Ame no Habakiri possess.

With her mind made up the girl made her way to the back of the helicopter and get on her specific modify motorcycle that work in sync with her Gear, one of a recent invention of Ryoko. As the pilot receive the signal, he open the back door of the helicopter right where Tsubasa's bike is. As the girl reeve her bike engine with the strong wind whip at her face she calmly ride the bike through the door and descend down to the ground as the same time sing the song to activate her Symphogear.

"Imyuteus Ame no Habakiri Tron."

The orb of light engulf the blue hair girl with her bike until it touch the ground, the orb then disperse as Tsubasa is in her Symphogear armor, she then proceed to ride her bike toward her destination.


As the same time, in an opposite direction from the panicking crowd, Eiji pushed his bike to speed to the max riding through people. At this point no sensor ability is needed to know his destination, his eyes focus on where the destruction is occurring, his hand reach to his pocket and pull out the familiar grey rectangular device. With a touch to his waist, the device extended the belt that wrap around Eiji. Not just a belt, but a circular device is also formed for Eiji to grab hold on. The OOO Scanner, which Eiji quickly swipe across his OOO Driver with the three iconic Medals already in place.

"HENSHIN!" Eiji shout out.

[TAKA-TOBA-BATTA! TATOBA! TATOBA-TATOBA!]


"Commander! OOO had just been sighted heading toward the two energies sources!" Sakuya reported anxiously.

"Oh, talk about a surprise guest star, what is our move now, Genjuro-kun?" Ryoko asked with a hint of amusement in her voice.

"For now we can only observe and trust in Tsubasa's abilities. As the same time let's hope OOO's appearance once again mean a blessing to us like last time." Genjuro spoke, composure not breaking but his fist tightened.

"I suppose this event could also help us to further observe this unknown equation." Ryoko noted.

Genjuro nodded, the armored.

Would his presence be a push humanity freedom from the Noises? Or would it be a push toward the destruction path paved already by the Noises?

"Kanade...even now you are still looking out for Tsubasa right?" Genjuro thought in desperate hope.

As someone who worry for their family, in moment like this Genjuro was once again painfully reminded of his own weakness. Despite his superhuman strength he is unable to help the younger generation in their fight on the field, all he can do is provide background back up like this.


Back to Tsubasa, right now she is engaging with a new kind of enemy, they just appeared in troops out of nowhere when she try to get close to the site of the clashes.

Their appearance is humanoid, compose entirely of ice, with blades for arm and stand about six to seven foot tall, and they have a bulky body type. Their simple appearance make one think of them as some kind of mass produced, low quality foot soldier for an experienced warrior. But as Tsubasa dodge another slash from one of these ice golem she known that's not it. Their durability allow them to take multiple hits from her sword before completely destroyed and despite their movement somewhat sloppy to her, when one of them is destroyed the rest seem to actually adapt to her fighting style even more. All of those facts and the overwhelming advantage they have in numbers and they already more dangerous than most battle she ever fought against the Noises since she don her Gea.

The blue haired girl quickly backpedal away, the spot where she just stand a second ago were covered with ice spikes projectile. Acting quickly Tsubasa jump high up to the air to avoid another swipe at her from behind, as the same time she retaliate with her own attack.

ONE THOUSAND TEAR.

As rain of azure energy swords fall down on the horde of golems, a few of them fall to the attack but instantly the other golems once again seem to learn the lesson as they bundle together before raise their swords arms up, which quickly shift to a form of ice barrier together and block the rest of Tsubasa's attack. As she click her tongue in annoyance Tsubasa still keep her cool as she quickly shift her sword to to its bigger form.

"Using the moment they are grouping together, make that my advantage."

The blue haired girl thought as electricity surge through her sword before she give a mighty swing.

CERULEAN FLASH!

The resulting arc of azure lightning slash sped toward the golems still hiding behind their shields. As the attack collide though a big explosion occurred engulfing the street as Tsubasa land back to the ground and quickly resume her stance, as the smoke clear all its left are debris of ice that no doubt left from the golem.

As Tsubasa see this she finally relaxed her stance and just as that moment it happened, from the debris of ice it quickly reformed to a shape of a single golem lunging at Tsubasa with its blade already posed to pierce through her abdomen, the strike was a surprise and precise, leaving Tsubasa no time to defense herself.

"Kanade would not yield like this!"

The sword wielder quickly make her decision in the split second she has. She may not have enough time to block it but the least she could do is taking out the enemy completely. Thus she stab her sword toward the last of the ice golem, ignoring her own safety.

However her gamble would not show it result when the ice golem shattered to piece by claw swipe, right before the instance her blade meet it and right before its blade could meet her too. Not even has a chance to take in what happen yet she heard the voice of...

"You need to get out of here now! Is not safe!"

"OOO!?"

Tsubasa instantly whipped her head to the source of the noises, she realize that OOO just charge through the field on a motorcycle, intercept the clash in the final moment and take down the golem in one hit without harming her and just as quickly as he come he left her a few words and then go on ahead.

Just what is going on right now?


It wasn't hard for OOO to recognize Kazanari Tsubasa given the focus of the news on her recently and being one of the three girls he first met in this world, her unique attire also hard to forget, but he didn't has time to dwell on this thought.

Not when he is so close, and yet Ankh's energy signature is wavering. OOO step on the gas, pushed the high grade bike to its utmost limit and beyond, with the bike pulling energy from his Core Medal and he willingly allow it. A function that would have been available to the older Ride Vendor using the Lion Candroid. Thus OOO made it just in time to spot the worn down figure of Ankh, face to face with a raging tornado much to OOO's horror. So without hesitation he take out his Medaljalibur, load the three Cell Medals in it and made a Batta enhanced leap toward Ankh while swiping his Scanner across the sword.

[TRIPPLE SCANNING CHARGE!]

The Medaljalibur radiate with Cell Medals energy which OOO unleashed with a quick slash at the hurricane, momentarily split it to two. Already OOO can feel another power forcing the tornado to reform itself, so he quickly call out to Ankh. Who managed to grab his outstretched hand just in time and fly both of them through the gap of the tornado just before it close itself again. The experience made both of them lose their balance in the sky and dive head first into the ground, but consider they charged head first through a tornado, the result could have been much worse.

OOO shook off the diziness from the impact then look at Ankh in his Greeed Form. The Rider had to wonder again is this real? Is he really face to face with the one Greeed who had granted him his desire, said Greeed? The one who he still regret wasn't able to save in the end? All that thought is gone though when the Greeed spoke, not out of graduation but pure annoyance.

"Tch. Just what are you doing here, idiot?"

"Yeah there's no doubt about it."

OOO thought as he known a smile is on his face now while he give out his hand to his friend.

"Isn't obvious? You were in need of a helping hand."


Now in present.

As the two of them join hand and stand side by side once again they both look up at Poseidon who had been quiet for this whole time, the artificial Greeed then clap his hands as he let out a low chuckle.

"Nice. Very nice! Even with the barrier of the worlds stand in his way, Hino Eiji still find a way to help you when you in need! Truly with this it have to make you forgot all the grudge you ever had for the Old King eh, Ankh?" Poseidon asked bemusedly.

Ankh, in contrast, visibly tensed.

"You...How do you known about that?" Ankh asked in a low growl.

In response, Poseidon simply tap his finger to his chest.

"You forgot, I have once absorb and fuse with all the Core Medals, among it include your of course. Even if you manage to take it back, their memories have been imprinted in me. And that gave me a nice view from the Greeeds end, from the moment of their birth to their demise. And I got to said, among all, yours are the one I do feel a bit sorry for." Poseidon said with genuine concerned tone.

Which of course only serve to pissed Ankh off even more given the raise of the temperature around him, to the point the sand below his feet is sizzling.

OOO look at Ankh expression he known whatever Poseidon talking about must be a very bad memory during the time Ankh first created, and right now he can't have that. For someone like Ankh if he lose his cool then it will just give Poseidon more upper hand so the vagabond quickly step in between Ankh and Poseidon.

"What's wrong? I thought you of all people would enjoy a good battle more than talking? Now both me and Ankh are here, isn't this will be a good chance for you to have a battle worth your time?" OOO taunted.

Behind him, Ankh is surprised by OOO out of character comment but then he realized.

"The idiot..does he think I will lose my composure so easily? Really." Ankh thought, but his mood already improved.

"Hm...you are right. This is even better now, I will get my revenge, take all my Medals and kill my two biggest threat as the same time. Truly two birds with one stone eh?" Poseidon commented as he wave his hand lightly.

Playing Regret Nothing Tighten Up.

CRACK! CRACK! CRACK!

Right in that instant the ground where OOO and Ankh stood were impaled with multiple sharp ice spike with a size of a pillar, both of them barely manage to avoid in time but before they can catch a breath, more spikes like that start to crash down toward them.

Ankh take it to the sky to avoid them while release his flame to deflect some of it, unable to instantly melted the ice away given their size and unnatural resilience to flame lest alone his.

OOO himself utilize his Batta Leg along with his Taka's sight barely avoid the ice projectile at the last moment, with one more launch at him again, the Rider use the Medaljalibur to knock the ice spikes off course.

As both of them continue to hold off like this they both share the same thought.

""We need to get him/that bastard off the sky!""

"The hell a talking seafood even doing in the goddamn air!?"

It not hard to tell which thought belong to who.

Ankh swoop down and grabbed hold of OOO and bring him to the air to get more maneuver options and also to find a chance to discuss their strategy, if they have one.

"We need to get close to him!" OOO shout out through the wind pressure.

"Wonderful idea! How about we ask nicely!?" Ankh snarked back sarcastically.

OOO pondered for a moment before he come to a conclusion.

"We both do what we do best!" OOO shouted.

"Heh! So you will be the reckless idiot!" Ankh replied with a knowing tone.

"And you will be the cunning bastard!"

OOO, for a rare occasion, use the same tone Ankh would. Both of them sharing the same knowing smile/smirk.

"Hm! At least you are learning. Alright here he come!"

With their plan agreed in that one short instant Ankh quickly change his direction and fly backward narrowly avoid the spike that was chasing them. The spike zoom past the duo barely touching a feather on Ankh wing and the claw part of OOO's gauntlet. Both of them flew straight toward Poseidon, the rain of ice spike once again stand in their way, but instead of avoid it, this time they charge head on. As their distance close in OOO quickly load three Cell Medals to his Medaljalibur.

[TRIPLE SCANNING CHARGE!]

As his sword engulf in power, with a swing of his sword OOO cut apart the dimension in front of them along with all the ice spike in the line. Following the attack effect the dimension cut fix itself while all the ice spike exploded, releasing a large amount of ice mist in the air temporarily hindrance Poseidon's sight on his foe.

With a quick swing of his Harpoon, Poseidon dispersed the mist, just in time to see a wave of flame taking a shape of a phoenix charge straight at him. He formed a gigantic scimitar make of ice and swinged it against the fiery phoenix, and while there was some resistance, in the end the blade of ice bisected the mythical bird in half, releasing some steam that didn't bother Poseidon at all.

"It was not meant to be an attack!" The Rider-Greeed hybrid though quickly realized this.

Too late! OOO used that moment and dash across the scimitar as a road, having no trouble keeping his balance on the less than narrow 'path'. The sword in his hand crackle with energy, ready to swing at Poseidon's neck the moment OOO within reach. Poseidon instantly dispersed the scimitar but OOO merely take a leap at Poseidon, at this point there is a 10 feet distance between them. Poseidon, with a wave of his hand, conjure multiple ice lance take shape after his Harpoon and launch all of them at OOO acted quick.

The moment the tips of the lance about to reach OOO's eyepiece, he finished the change of Medals.

[KUGAWATA! UNAGI! CHEETAH!]

The lances all broke apart as it impact against the energy plates of OOO's transformation, while OOO himself continue his charge.

CLANG!

Sound of steel meet steel rang out as Poseidon raise up his Harpoon to block the sword strike, OOO, just before gravity has a chance to pull him down, send his whips and wrap around Poseidon wrist sending a surge of powerful electricity at him. But Poseidon shrug it off easily as he yank OOO toward him using the whip, OOO try to make a stab but Poseidon deflect it with his Harpoon. He then grabbed OOO's neck and gripped tightly, with the same hand the whip wrap to. OOO could feel his neck cracking despite the armor protection.

End Song.

"Good effort...but now I am much stronger than before, surely you notice that right?" Poseidon asked tauntingly, tightening his grip.

"...Urgh...y...yeah...but you...still easy...to be distracted..." OOO grunted out.

At that moment, Poseidon feel the heat above him.

It was too late, with a fiery roar, Ankh coated in rainbow flame aura flaring lividly, dived straight at Poseidon.

The Greeed Rider try to move out of the way but this time it is OOO turn to restricted his movement, the Rider use both of his whips to restrained him. It will only took Poseidon for a moment to use his power and broke free but that one moment is all OOO need, the Rider blasted the aquatic Rider with Kugawata green electricity. This further distract Poseidon, make him unable to act in time. OOO then used Poseidon like a spring, kicked off him and avoided the area of impact.

BAM! BAM! BAM! BAM!

Right then and there Ankh crash toward Poseidon fist first, the Greeed then proceed to send multiple punch at Poseidon. Each punch contain the firepower enough to demolish block of cities! Both of the Greeed then crash right down to the ground with a big explosion! The smoke slowly clear away to reveal a giant crater deep in the center, OOO make his way to Ankh, both of them panting heavily as they look at the downed form of Poseidon, he is imbedded deep to ground with debris and dust cover most of his body.

"Heh! Try getting up from tha..."

BOOM!

Ank was interrupted by a burst of ice wave that frozen and blow up the ground in the form of ice crystal, needless to said both OOO and Ankh was send flying.

"Urgh...I think he succeeded." OOO mumbled as he shrug the debris and dust off him.

"Shut up." Ankh mumbled ticked off.

"Well that was a good attack, I actually feel it there." Poseidon call out as he walk out of the debris, with the dust clear off his body it show that his armor only seem to burned and scratched slightly from OOO, Ankh combination attack just now. "But now I think is time I take my prize, the lives of both of you and the powers come with it."

Poseidon then point his Harpoon at the two of them with energy seem to gather at the tip of it.

As Ankh try to stand up he found himself finally run out of strength, the wounds he sustained from beginning of the fight finally taking its toll on him. With Cell Medals keep falling off from him.

OOO isn't doing any better as ice spikes can be seen stuck on him most notably his shoulder, leg and even right above his right eye, he could feel their tip pierce through his armor and go in deep enough to struck him directly but luckily the armor still hold enough so the spike can't pierce through completely. Even so blood can be seen leaking from those wound it seem both of them can't mutter any strength to fight back anymore.

Poseidon, conjuring a giant sphere of azure energy and flung it at them.

But OOO haven't give up yet! Not when he finally find Ankh again!

"ARGH!

With a shout of defiance, OOO punch his hand to the ground making purple crack appear as he take out the weapon of his Invincible Combo, the Medagaburyu.

[TAKA! TORA! BATTA! TATOBA-TATOBA-TATOBA!]

OOO then proceed to charge straight at the incoming sphere despite Ankh protest but he too weak to stop him, OOO then swung down the Medagaburyu along with the Medaljalibur in X motion as it collide with the energy sphere and cut it to four fragments, the fragment then fly pass him and Ankh as it explode behind them while OOO keep on charging forward.

As a shocked Poseidon didn't have time to react he can only shoot more ice spikes at OOO, who despite being hit still charge forward and slashed Poseidon from shoulder down to waist.

The Greeed Rider since revived, for once actually cry out in pain as he stumble back, his body can be seen crackle with purple energy. The Greeed Rider then feel his power going haywire, the Purple Medals doing what it does best is affecting his Core Medals. Worse yet, his newly acquired Cosmic Energy also make him feel hard to control his power now, if he not careful the Greeed Rider could very well be destroyed inside out because of his own power. Sending a glare mixed with hatred and a sense of excitement at OOO, who panted heavily now as his wound increased while he can only stand on one leg, Poseidon then engulf himself in water before he seem to disappear.

"Next time we clash I expect you to wield that power properly! Then the victory will be even more sweet!" Poseidon's voice call out just before he take off.

Both OOO and Ankh watch in relieve seeing he finally gone. Then they both proceed to fall face first to the ground.


As Tsubasa made her way to the center of the unidentified energy she only saw the aftermath of a battlefield. The damage caused here make one think of a site of a war lasted for decades. She continue to search the scene but there was no sign of OOO at all, with a sigh, the girl decide to call and report to the Commander, there will be lots of reconstruction to do as the same time hopefully investigation of this spot will shed more light to them what have occurred today.

Just when Tsubasa turn around ready to leave, her sight caught on to something flew by the wing as she reach out for it, it turn out to be a red feather.


That night, in an Okonomiyaki diner called Sunflower, located in the same street as the famous Lydian Academy.

The owner or as everyone fondly called her Boss Lady, is taking out the trash. Her area was unaffected by the battle since it was too far from the beach.

Just as she go on the usual route and pass by a small park she heard the sound of leave rustle, it quite small but she can hear it in the quiet night. As the same time she saw some movement in one of the bush.

"What the?" The Boss Lady wondered aloud.

She stand still and eyed the bush carefully, it doesn't seem like an animal to her. Especially since she heard some weak groan that definitely sound humane coming out of it.

GROWL~~~~~~~

Suddenly the tense atmosphere shattered as she sweat-dropped as the sound clearly indicate someone is very hungry. As she slowly approach the bush and move the leaves out of the way...

She were greeted with a sight of a bloody and wounded Hino Eiji...all the while his stomach still grumbling.


Next time on Kamen Rider OOO Song of Desire.

"Welcome Hino Eiji-kun as our newest employer." Boss Lady said with a smile as she give out a handshake that Eiji take.

"Don't worry I won't let anyone harm you." Hibiki said with resolve in her voice as she hold the little girl hand.

"I will bring you and Hibiki-chan back safely so there no need to be scarred." Eiji smiled with the OOO Driver strapped on.

"HENSHIN!"

"Balwisyall nescell Gungnir tron."
