Chapter 42 Spiral Hill
I don't own Kamen Rider 555 or Highschool of the Dead
Faiz was still being chased by Slayer as last time he appeared to crush him, he drives the Auto Vajin around the area and Slayer shoots at him making Faiz dodge the shots.
"This thing is like a force of nature." Faiz said.
Faiz looks around and noticed a cliff with a ramp, he drives faster and jumps through it making Slayer stop to avoid failing down the cliff, Faiz lands on the other side and watches Slayer standing there before it goes off.
"I avoided it." He said.
He then saw the bridge and from it came Alice walking through it, he changes back to normal and walks towards the bridge and they stood in the middle with they're respective worlds behind them.
Alice stares at Judai and they could tell by the worlds the differences and similarities between them.
"So your the one that came to this world." She said.
"Yes, you must be Alice." He said.
She nodded and looks at the world behind him. "I can see how you feel, alone and feel like you can be a danger to others as you isolated yourself."
He frowns. "Yes, but I have changed, you seem to have been broken by the others."
"Yes, maybe we can help each other." She said.
"Yes." He nodded.
They looked to the right and noticed a big spiral mountain with the two worlds merging together that way.
"It seems the worlds are merging faster." Judai said.
"If we don't stop it, then we would be too connected." She said.
"Well, maybe we can help." They looked down and saw a rabbit and a weasel chained together.
"Well what are your names?" Alice asked.
"I'm Redmond, and that's Spanx." The rabbit said. (From Whiplash.)
"We are actually from FeralRealm." Redmond said.
Judai got surprised. "Really? I thought you would be more vicious."
"Not all of us." Redmond said.
Judai also noticed Spanx has wires coming out of his head. It's like they were experimented.
"Now if you want to get to the bottom of this, you gotta see the queens." Redmond said.
"The Queen, I thought she was gone." Alice said.
"Theres always guys worse out there, also I said Queens, theres another one from our place." Redmond said.
Judai got curious, his mind made a queen too, they looked around and noticed the castle and it was combined with Janpanese temple that was twisted.
"Since the worlds are merging the first thing that happened was the castles becoming one." Redmond said and Spanx nodded.
Alice looks down at the cliff and saw many glowing eyes and growls. "And those are?"
"Oh the shadow beasts, they're the ones that lurked inside the forest or in there, they are many different animals and they tend to tear appart many people that come in there." Redmond said.
Judai stares at them, it's just like the rage he had when he hated Saeko for thinking they were the same when they were so much different, everyone has a different darkness.
"So it's best we avoid it." Alice said.
"Well I would go down the other path." Redmond points to his right and they saw the dirt path.
Then a limo came and from it came a skeleton wearing a white suit. "Need a lift?"
"Who are you?" Judai said.
"Manuel Calavera, but call me Manny." He said. "Now get in." (Grim Frandago.)
The duo went inside and sit next to Manny.
"Step on it!" Manny said.
The window opened and they saw Glottis. "You got it."
He drives them foward and Manny said: "It's a good thing you both met, we need to get this over as soon as possible."
"Let me guess, because of the merging?" Judai said.
"Not as much, we need to stop the guy behind the Ruins, while the feral ones are good enough we can't just sit back and watch as Wonderland gets in danger." Manny said.
"I see, but why are you helping us?" Alice asked.
"It's just what I do, I help others in need, not everyone in FeralRealm is a violent monster that wants to kill you, I bet you met Quatro." He said.
"Yeah I met him, so as part of me you all must resemble a piece of my mind." Judai said.
"You caught on fast, well why don't you look outside." Manny said.
They looked and saw a building that resembles Smart Brain as many soldiers come out that resemble Riotroopers but with advance gear and robot parts, they started to shoot at the Ruins that were nearby.
"Those guys are also good in keeping those sludge things out." Manny said.
"I see." Judai said.
"Also... Drink?" He offered.
"Tea please." She said.
"I knew you would want that from Hatter and his friends." Manny makes a hidden storage open as a tea pot came with cups filled.
She takes one and drinks it before looking at Judai. "Would you like to talk as we wait?"
"Why not." He shrugs.
"Did you loose your parents like me?" She asked.
"Blunt aren't you, yes, a madman tried to change me to become like him, but I didn't become like him as I just lost my dreams and feelings." He said.
She got surprised. "I see, you seemed to get most of them back, what I lost from the fire was my sanity."
"I can understand the pain you felt, but who started the fire?" He asked.
She looks outside. "I don't know, they said it was a accident."
"I doubt it, someone must have done it." He said. "We wouldn't be together if we didn't suffer a similar tragedy."
She stares at him, could someone burned her house down.
"Not a bad theory, it can be possible, it seems little Alice is also missing her memories." Manny said.
"If someone truly did burn my house." She got mad.
Judai holds her hand surprising her. "We shall work together to find the truth."
She smiles at him. "Thank you."
They saw Gravekeeper dig more holes before he sends many of the ruins inside they're new graves without any ceremony.
"There." He then goes to a coffin and sees a insane child from Alice's world that was inside her coffin.
"Am I going to heaven?" The little girl asked.
"Yes, sweet dreams and hope you have peace." He said while taking out a book.
They watched as he does the ceremony before closing the casket and putting dirt over it.
"The ruins destroy others, but Gravekeeper does his ceremony to put them in our afterlife." Manny said.
"Is it like a memory bank?" Judai asked.
"In a way... Yes." Manny said.
"So, he's saving my other parts." Alice said.
"Yup, soon they'll be reborn, the ones that don't get a ceremony are just burried alive forever to be forgotten." Manny said.
Judai then noticed a statue of his mother that was upside down and limp, she was hanging off a mountain like she was coming out.
"Oh yeah, that came after you saw your mother." Manny said.
Alice got curious to what Judai has been through for his residents to be like this and how his world is changing.
As they passed by two statues rise up from the two sides and on Feralrealm it's off Judai and from Wonderland it's off Alice as they stared at each other.
Cheshire and Wolf watched and Cheshire said: "Hmmm, it seems they are being more connected."
"Let's see if it's by force, or by they're choice." Wolf said.
Note: Judai now met Alice and they are heading towards the castle, they met more members of FeralRealm and creatures shown that take down the ruins and enemies.
