I Don't Own Anything, Enjoy
"Triken and Pterror have both fallen at the riders' hands." Tyrannus said, pacing in front of Mosataur, Ankylo, and Spino. "You five are supposed to be the pride of my army, and yet two of you fell with ease!" The T-Rex Animarius said with anger in his voice. "In our defense, General Tyrannus, our strength comes from our numbers, so-" Mosataur started saying, only for Tyrannus to detach his tail, transforming it into his sword before placing it against the Mosasaur's throat. "Mosataur, Knight of the surging seas. You'll be the next to go attack the humans, show them what a real Knight Of Destruction is capable of!" Tyrannus ordered. "Yes, General Tyrannus." Mosataur reluctantly said.
Woods
Meanwhile, in the forest outside of Royal Woods, a small figure, dressed in a stereotypical Ninja outfit could be seen running across the tree branches, nimbly jumping about from one to the next, when a three cardboard cutouts popped up. The figure then pulled out three shuriken that they deftly tossed at the faux foes, each hitting dead center before the figure jumped out of the tree, landing perfectly on their feet.
The sound of hands clapping could be heard. "Excellent work there, Sakura." The figure turned to see Gorf, clapping his hands as the figure removed there mask to show Sakura. "Arigato Gorf-san." She said, bowing down. "Now, where's Lincoln?" Gorf asked as a shoe fell down. The two looked up to see Lincoln in a similar outfit to Sakura's, but he was hanging down from a tree branch from his underwear. "A little help please?" He begged as Sakura averted her eyes with a slight blush as Gorf sighed before hopping up to Lincoln's location, getting him down.
Later, the three were down on the forest floor, having a spot of tea. "You know, Gorf. When you called us this morning offering a spot of training, this isn't what I thought you had in mind." Lincoln complained, rubbing his butt in pain as Sakura giggled. "My apologies, Lincoln. I just thought it would be a good idea for you guys to receive training from an experienced Animarius warrior. Ryu and Naturia did too." Gorf said. "Really? My ancestors learned from you?" Sakura asked. "Master Toadus too. I mainly helped with the physical aspects of combat, while Master Toadus was able to help with the mystical aspects." Gorf said. "Okay, but why are we dressed like this and doing all kinds of stuff like that?" Lincoln asked, referring to his and Sakura's outfits and the obstacle course they traversed throughout the treetops, which included swinging logs, dummies dressed like Neo Lizardons and hidden dart launchers just to name a few.
"It's all to help you get ready!" Gorf said. "Ready for what?" Sakura asked. "As I'm sure you noticed, amongst the pages Master Toadus and I gave you guys when we first met, three of them were blank." Gorf said. "Lisa-chan, Obachan, and I were talking about that just this morning!" Sakura said. "You see, the reason those pages are blank is because at Ryu's request, when he entrusted us to the pages that we ended up giving back to you, Master Toadus placed a magical seal on those three pages." Gorf explained. "Why those three pages specifically?" Lincoln asked. "Because he wanted to make sure the next people to bear the title of Kamen Riders to be ready before utilizing what's detailed on them. Those three pages have the most powerful weapons in your arsenal!" Gorf said. "And Ryu wanted to make sure his and Naturia's successors were ready to handle such power." He continued before taking a sip of his tea. "Only when you are ready will the seals break." He added. "How long will it take before we are ready?" Lincoln asked. "I don't know. But when you are, you will know." Gorf said. "Well, thanks anyway." Lincoln said, finishing his tea and getting up.
Later, the two riders were walking through the streets of downtown. "We'll know when we're ready? What's that supposed to mean?!" Lincoln asked as Sakura studied the pages of her ancestor's journal they received from Toadus. "Calm down, Lincoln-kun. I'm sure they mean well. My ancestor's journal describes both Toadus-san and Gorf-san as reliable and respectable allies." Sakura said. "Oh come on Sakura! Don't you find this situation irritating?" Lincoln asked. "A little. But I'm sure they know what they're doing." Sakura said as screams filled the air. "Here we go again." Lincoln muttered as they followed the screams, equipping their drivers on the way. Soon they arrived at the source of all the screaming. Mosataur was using his massive jaws to tear items apart, cars, road signs, fire hydrants, etc. before diving into the streets like it's water, sending people all over screaming and running. "Mosataur, the third Knight Of Destruction." Sakura noted. "The fact this guy can dive into the roads like it's water is concerning." Lincoln noted. "It'd probably be best to stick with our water based forms then." Sakura said, pulling out the sapphire of water. "Good Idea." Lincoln said, summoning his screen.
0-0-0-3, Water!
Sapphire!
"Henshin!" They both cried at the same time, entering water and ocean modes respectively. (Hey, If Kuuga Could Henshin Straight Into Ultimate Form, Why Can't They Go Into Their Secondary Forms Immediately, Am I Right?) "Mosataur!" Lincoln called in challenge as the Mosasaur Animarius hopped out of the ground. "LL, Jewel. I've been waiting for you!" He said, snarling his jaws. "Your reign of terror is over!" Sakura said, using her trident to fire a beam of ice at the monster, only for Mosataur to open his mouth and swallow it in one gulp! "Nani?!" She asked in surprise. "Hmm, Tasty." Mosataur said before rushing in to bite Lincoln and Sakura, Sakura used her trident to form a stream of water to escape while Lincoln used his molecular reconfiguring powers to turn into water and try to avoid being bit, only for Mosataur to not only bite Lincoln, but also reconfigure him back into a solid state before tossing him aside. "What the, how did you do that?!" Lincoln asked in surprise. "I'm the Knight of the Surging Seas, remember? I'm the only one with a mastery over water that surpasses General Megalonis!" Mosataur said. "Well, let's see how you deal with this!" Lincoln said, summoning his screen.
0-0-0-4, Lightning!
Entering his electricity form, Lincoln charged his fists before looking over to Sakura. Getting the hint, she once again used her water powers to soak the ground before switching out the sapphire of water to the Emerald of Wind.
Emerald!
Using her aerokinetic powers, Sakura started floating above the ground before Lincoln slammed his fists down on the wet ground, hoping for the water to electrocute him. Unfortunately, Mosataur was able to manipulate the water on the ground, creating two giant bubbles, allowing the electricity to properly ground itself. "What the?" Lincoln asked in surprise. "Sorry riders, but I've got to make like a banana and split. But before I go, a little present!" He said, slamming his fists down, causing the two bubbles to splash down onto Lincoln and Sakura before diving back down into the ground and making his getaway. "Well that was humiliating." Sakura said.
Base
"The Mosasaur, an ancient marine reptile from the Cretaceous Period with large toothed like jaws, paddle like fins, and a flattened tail, related to modern Monitor Lizards." Lisa told Lincoln and Sakura who were recovering from the failed battle against the third Knight of Destruction. Mainly drying off from that water bomb he dropped on them. "I think some of that water got in my ear." Sakura said. "I think some of it got into both of my ears." Lincoln said on the other side of a wall of screens Sakura had asked Lori to set up between them as the water had actually managed to soak through their rider suits.
"How are they supposed to fight something like that Lisa?" Lori asked. "I'm not sure. The Mosasaur didn't have that many enemies. And it's only weakness was a reliance on being in the water, unfortunately it seems our current foe doesn't have that weakness, as he can apparently do this." Lisa said, showing her sisters and Clyde footage of Mosataur diving into the ground as if it were water. "There is one way." Gorf said as he walked through the entrance that connects his and Toadus' hideout to the riders' base. "Gorf-san!" Sakura said in surprise. "What are you doing here?" Lincoln asked, stepping out of the screen, fully dry and back in his signature outfit, while Sakura was still drying off. "Master Toadus and I saw what happened from our base. I came here to help with the problem." Gorf said. "That would be much appreciated, Gorf-san." Sakura said, stepping out from behind the screen, brushing her hair before putting it into a ponytail. "What do you have?" Lincoln asked.
"Do you remember what I was telling you about this morning?" Gorf asked. "About the three blank pages?" Sakura asked. "Yes. One of the pages details a power for you..." He said, pointing to Lincoln. "That just might be able to help you against Mosataur's powers. It's called 'Shinobi Mode'." He said. "Shinobi?" Lincoln asked. "Ninja." Sakura explained. "Correct. During the original war, Ryu was fascinated by the style of ninjitsu Tytus and I use in battle and actually worked with me to create a form that would allow him to use skills on par with those of masters such as myself and Tytus." He explained. "Didn't you say those pages were sealed and the seal would only be broken when we're ready?" Lincoln asked. "Yes, and while I'm not sure what Master Toadus and Ryu meant when they said 'When you're ready' I'm sure you'll be able to figure it out and use this new power." Gorf told Lincoln. "Thanks." He said sarcastically. "Luckily for you, I'm here to help!" He said.
Forest Outside Toadus And Gorf's Hideout
"This again? Really!?" Lincoln asked upon seeing Gorf had once again set up the obstacle course from that morning. "This is how Ryu was able to prepare for battle with Shinobi mode, and if it was able to work for him, it will for you!" Gorf explained from the ground as he, Sakura, Clyde, and Lincoln's sisters watched from below. "But I'm not as coordinated as Ryu probably was!" Lincoln complained. "It's true, he's really not." Lynn said. Clyde nodding in agreement. "Don't worry! It's easy! All you have to do is navigate the swinging logs," He said, gesturing to a series of giant logs swinging from one side to the other. "Avoid the motion sensing dart system," He said, gesturing to a group of trees with dart launchers on them. "Cut down the footsoldiers with your katana and throw the three shuriken at the dummies dressed like Leo, Tyrannus and Draco!" He said, gesturing to the last part of the course. "Yeah, easy." Lincoln said. "Come on, Lincoln-kun! I was able to handle it no problem!" Sakura said. "Easy for you to say! You've been training for this war since you were 5!" Lincoln complained, "Okay, you've got me there. But you got this! I believe in you!" Sakura said. "Great, just what I need." Lincoln muttered before jumping off the branch he was on, only to immediately plummet straight to the ground, hitting several branches on the way there before landing in a rose bush. "Oooh!" Everyone cringed. "I'm okay!" Lincoln said before getting out of the bush and climbing back up the tree. As they watched Lincoln continue to try and fail, Sakura's phone beeped. "Really? Now of all times?!" She asked upon seeing what was going on. "What's wrong, Sakura?" Lori asked. "Mosataur's been sighted in Hazeltucky. We don't have time to wait for Lincoln-kun to finish with this, I'm going to have to try and see if I can handle this guy myself." She said, strapping on her driver. "What? But Sakura-" Lori started saying. "Don't worry about me, Lori-neechan. Just worry about Lincoln-kun for now." Sakura said, leaving.
Hazeltucky
As the good people of Royal Woods' neighboring town were running from Mosataur, he couldn't help but laugh. "And I thought the sounds of Royal Woods panicking was pleasant!" He said. "That's far enough, Mosataur!" Sakura said as she rode in on her dirt bike. "Jewel? Didn't expect to see you here! Where's LL? Did my power send him running for the hills or something?" He asked, laughing. "LL's busy right now, but I'm more of a match for you!" Sakura said, arming the Topaz of Earth.
Topaz!
Entering Earth mode, she summoned her hammer and started swinging, only for Mosataur to dive back into the ground. "That can't save you forever, coward!" Sakura said as Mosataur launched a sneak attack, sending Sakura reeling back. "You may call it cowardly, but I call it strategy!" Mosataur said, taunting the bejeweled rider. Unbeknownst to either of them, a shadowy figure was watching from afar with a malicious smile.
Back With Lincoln
As Lincoln continued the obstacle course, he had just managed to get through the logs and after several attempts managed to get past the darts with only two hitting him. Now he was going to cut through the footsoldiers with the loaner sword and throw the shuriken at the three head honchos, however, before he could even reach the footsoldiers, he slipped and found himself in a very similar situation to that morning. "Dang it! This is exactly what happened earlier!" Lincoln complained as Lynn laughed. "Not funny, Lynn!" Lincoln said, before noticing Sakura wasn't there. "Where's Sakura?" He asked. "She had to go to Hazeltucky! Mosataur was sighted there!" Lori said. "What?! Oh man, I've got to go over there and help, but how! I'm not ready yet! I can't even finish this yet!" He said. "There's more to being ready for the pages' secrets than training, young Lincoln." Toadus, who was somehow on the same branch Lincoln was on, catching him off guard. "Master Toadus!" Gorf said. "Animarius Ninjitsu is very different from human Ninjitsu, but that didn't stop Ryu from developing the powers that come with Shinobi mode." Toadus said, sipping some tea. "Whenever he practiced our art, he would always put himself in the right frame of mind, focusing only on his goal to protect humanity from Draco's forces." Toadus explained. "Only when you and Sakura are able to achieve this state of mind will the seals break and reveal the pages' secrets." He said before tapping Lincoln with his staff, teleporting him safely to the ground. "Now go! Sakura needs you!" Toadus ordered. "Right! Thanks Toadus!" Lincoln said, donning his driver and heading out, Clyde and his sisters following. "Do you really think it will work out, Master Toadus?" Gorf asked. "Only time will tell, my young ward." Toadus said when all of a sudden he saw images of destruction, pain, sadness, four incredibly powerful beings, and him and General Kabuto locked in combat. "Especially if what I just saw is what I think it is." He said glumly, confusing Gorf.
Hazeltucky
As Sakura was struggling to fight back against Mosataur, the figure just simply started laughing. "Don't hurt her too much, Mosataur. After all, I want my chance to finish the job!" He said. Meanwhile, Mosataur had just sent her back again. "Foolish girl, I .can't believe you were stupid enough to actually think you were strong enough to face me!" He said before an energy arrow struck him. "She's not alone! Fish Lips!" Lincoln said, arriving on the scene. "Lincoln-kun!" Sakura said, happy to see her secret crush. "Are you alright Sakura?" Lincoln asked. "I'm fine, Lincoln-kun, but this guy's tough!" Sakura said. "Good, it wouldn't be fun otherwise." He said, approaching the Animarius as Lincoln's sisters and Clyde, now in their aide outfits approached Sakura, helping her up. "LL, come to face defeat again?" Mosataur asked. "Yes, your defeat!" Lincoln said, firing another crossbow bolt that Mosataur dived back into the ground to dodge. "Dodge all you want, fish face. But I promised to protect everyone, and nothing's going to stop me!" Lincoln said as Mosataur jumped out of the ground, luckily Lincoln saw this in time and fired a crossbow bolt straight in his face. "How did you?" He asked. "When you live with a goth girl as long as I had, you learn to be prepared for sneak attacks." Lincoln said. "Okay, that's fair." Lucy said. "My friends, my family, friends I consider family, NOTHING'S GOING TO STOP ME FROM PROTECTING THEM FROM THE LIKES OF YOU!" Lincoln shouted before firing again, hitting the Animarius just before he could dive back into the ground.
As this was going on, Sakura noticed a glow coming from the book attached to her driver. Opening it up, she noticed one of the three blank pages started filling itself up. "It's here! Lincoln-kun! The first page's seal is being broken!" Sakura said with glee. "It has?" Lincoln asked in surprise. "Break as many seals as you want! You'll never catch me!" Mosataur said before diving back into the ground. "Dang it! Sakura, what's the code? If what Gorf said is right, I'm going to need it!" Lincoln said. "It's 6-7-8-9!" Sakura said. "Kind of straightforward, but okay!" Lincoln said, summoning his screen.
6-7-8-9, Shinobi!
Instead of swiping the screen, Lincoln then grabbed it in his hand and performed the hand gesture common in ninja themed TV. "Rider Ninpo! Henshin Misuto!" (Transforming Mist) Lincoln shouted before tossing the screen down to the ground, creating a large grey mist. Flashes then clashed throughout the mist, and once it subsided, Lincoln now found himself in a new outfit. This one was reminisce of the stereotypical image of ninjas. All black, no armor, except for the pads on his shoulders and knees, and a scarf akin to those of the Showa era Kamen Riders and Kamen Rider W CycloneJoker. "Kamen Rider LL, Shinobi mode!" Sakura said as Lincoln admired his new form. "Nice! The lack of armor's kind of concerning, but I can deal with that!" Lincoln said as he noticed Mosataur's crest breaching the ground. "Sakura, I need a lowdown on my powers in this form, stat!" Lincoln told her. "On it!" Sakura said.
As Mosataur continued to swim through the ground, he couldn't help but laugh as he peeked his head up out of the ground. "Those stupid riders! They'll never catch me!" He said when all of a sudden, Lincoln's voice could be heard. "Rider Ninpo! Kage Kogeki!" (Shadow Attack) He said, when all of a sudden, once Mosataur entered a shadow, Lincoln popped up and kicked him away. "What?! But how?!" He asked. "Shadow Travel. Just one of this form's many abilities, Here's another. Rider Ninpo! Kunai Storm!" Lincoln shouted before spinning around, allowing a barrage of Kunai daggers to come out, hitting the Mosasaur Animarius. "Well let's see how you deal with this!" Mosataur said, jumping into the shadow of a nearby car. "Ha! I'd like to see you pull off your tricks now, LL!" He said, only to turn to see Lincoln rising up out of the shadow. "Wherever there is darkness, I can rise." He said, before unsheathing a katana and slashing diagonally, sending him flying. "Now to add another to my collection!" Lincoln said, summoning his screen.
*-#, Final Attack!
With a swipe, Lincoln caught a single shuriken in his hand. "Ha! What's that supposed to do?" Mosataur asked, mockingly. "Rider Ninpo! Dai, Dai, Dai, Dai, Dai, Shuriken!" Lincoln shouting, the throwing star growing in size each time he said Dai. "Uh oh!Mosatuar said before Lincoln threw the iconic Ninja weapon which started sounding like the blade of a bandsaw at the Knight of Destruction. Once the giant throwing star hit him, a surge of energy hit him as well, shattering his soul core, causing him to blow up before reverting to his original soul core which Lincoln quickly sealed. "And that's how it's done!" Lincoln said as his allies ran up to him, Sakura giving him a great big hug. "Lincoln-kun, that was amazing!" Sakura said, before letting go and blushing underneath her helmet, thanking her lucky stars no one could see her face at that time. "Thanks Sakura." Lincoln said. "What do you guys say we celebrate over at Gus'!?" Lincoln asked. "I'm down for that!" Clyde said. "Fine by me!" Sakura said as they all started their way back to Royal Woods. "Good on you for getting stronger, LL." The mysterious figure said. "But I'm especially interested in seeing how much you grow, young Ms. Hoseki. Our upcoming battle wouldn't be fun if you stayed at this level!" He said, laughing maniacally, turning around, causing his cloak to briefly reveal the medallion of King Draco's mythical army on his shoulder.
