dEnjoy, I Don't Own Anything, This Chapter Was Co Written By Hallucigenia77 Who Also Came Up With The Premise

Within the Animarius Castle, Tytus was walking down it's halls, holding the mysterious trigger Aquilis had entrusted to her prior. "Operation Trade Winds?" She remember asking Aquilis. Just then, Tytus heard something and entered the castle throne room. She then sees three individuals presenting themselves to King Draco and the generals. On the left is a fat and muscular humanoid bull with two huge horns, a human-like face, and panther-like claws on his feet and hands. One the left is a slightly thin and feminine humanoid cow with two short horns, a human-like face, and an udder on her belly. And finally, the one in the center is a humanoid lion with two large curved horns, two bat-like wings on his back, a scorpion-like tail covered in porcupine quills, and human-like face with shark-like teeth in his mouth. These individuals are called Bicornelius, Chichevala, and Manticron.

"Oh, great. These blowhards!" Tytus said, clearly annoyed. "HEY! Who are you calling blowhards?!" Bicornelius responded in anger as he, Chichevala, and Manticron turned to see Tytus right behind them. "That would be you guys." Tytus said, placing the trigger back in her back pocket. "Oh great! It's you, Tytus! Hey, wait a minute, what happened to your wings? Did someone cut them off while you were in battle?" Asked Chichevala in curiosity after noticing Tytus having metal wings instead of organic ones. "Not exactly my proudest moment." Tytus said as the Chichevache Animarius started laughing. "Oh, how the mighty have fallen! The once high and mighty Bird Army's second in command struck down with ease!" She taunted as a metal feather sailed past her, cutting her cheek. "My wings may be gone, but my skills aren't!" Tytus said, retracting her wing.

"Did you just cut my cheek?" Asked Chichevala. "Yes, I did!" Said Tytus. "Well, I hope you realize that this means war!" Chichevala threatened as she prepares to punch Tytus in retaliation for the cut on her cheek. Only for Aquilis to effortlessly catch the fist in her hand. "That's enough." The eagle Animarius said, effortlessly tossing her aside. "Ooh! That smarts!" Chichevala said she winced in pain while Bicornelius helps her back her feet. "Are you okay, my love?" Bicornelius asked. "Just fine, darling!" Chichevala said as Cicadeath and Flygor ran into the throne room, wheeling in a large item covered in a tarp. "Your majesty! It's done! Our first project!" Cicadeath said. "We made it based off some blueprints I found in Aquilis' trash!" Flygor said. "Some what found in my where?!" Aquilis asked as Cicadeath tore off the tarp. The item revealed is a large sci-fi styled raygun with two handles on each side of the device that have their own trigger button. "Behold! The Enlargement Raygun! As it's name would suggest, it has the ability to turn any Animarius into a 65 foot tall version of themselves with a shot of its rays!" Cicadeath announced with eagerness. King Draco was very impressed with the work that Cicadeath and Flygor had made in such a quick amount of time. He then said "I've got to hand it, you two! You've really made yourselves useful, especially considering that we need an upper hand against the Kamen Riders!". "Thank you, your majesty!" Said Cicadeath and Flygor, who both bowed down in satisfaction. "Plus, this reminds me of two Animarius warriors from my Royal Guard that both have the natural ability to grow into giants by themselves! They were called Krakano and Aspidochelonus! The last time I saw them, they headed out to the open sea in order to spread mayhem across the planet's oceans! And that was before me and the generals were sealed away by Ryu and Naturia as well as those traitors Toadus and Gorf! Hopefully, they'll be able to answer the beacon I've activated a while ago!" King Draco reminisced. He then asked the two insects "Do you mind giving us a demonstration of the Enlargement Raygun?". "We'd be glad to!" Answered Cicadeath. "Of course, for everybody's safety, we have to do so outside of the castle!" Flygor said.

As they went outside, Aquilis started protesting. "Your majesty, I scrapped those plans for a reason! Such technology would give us an unfair advantage over the riders, and wouldn't be right-" She started saying, only for Kabuto to cut her off. "Zip it, bird-brain!" He said. "Yeah! This a golden opportunity that we're not going to pass! So don't you dare do anything to interfere with this plan!" Said Megalonis, much to Aquilis's chagrin. Later, at the castle's backyard, we see King Draco, The Generals, Manticron, Bicornelius, Chichevala, and Tytus watch as Cicadeath and Flygor activate the Enlargement Raygun on a single Neo-Lizardon. As soon as the ray fired upon it, the Neo-Lizardon instantaneously grew to the size of Mechagodzilla, all while letting out an ear-piercing roar. "Wow! Now that's what I call a roaring sucess!" Said Tyrannus. "Say, does that Raygun have a reverse switch?" Asked Megalonis. "Actually, yes, it does have one!" Answered Cicadeath as he turned switch to "Reverse" and fired again, causing the Neo-Lizardon to shrink back to normal. This made King Draco very pleased.

"Yeah, yeah, yeah. But you're forgetting something, bug brains! In order to be powered, the ray gun needs a constant supply of atomic energy, another reason I scrapped this project!" Aquilis said. "Way ahead of you, Aquilis!" Cicadeath said. "The other day, we were surveying the city, when we found this abandoned nuclear power plant far outside the city! Apparently, Royal Woods used to run on atomic energy, but stopped after what they call WWII!" Flygor said. "WWII?" Aquilis asked. "That stands for World War II, just so you know!" Answered Cicadeath. "Apparently, it ended after the US government dropped a pair of atomic bombs on two Japanese cities." Flygor said. "I know, I was there." Cerberion said, surprising everyone. "Needless to say..." He said, holding onto his bandolier. "My collection grew quite well those two days!" He said, licking his chops. "Don't you have a plan involving Jewel to take care of?!" Leo angrily asked. "Unfortunately, It's still not the right time." The Cerberus Animarius said.

"Anyways, when me and Flygor went inside the power plant, we found a whole smorgasbord of nuclear material, namely Uranium, Plutonium, and Thorium!" Cicadeath said. "We just need some extra muscle, especially if the Kamen Riders appear, and we can collect the material no problem!" Flygor said. "I'll have some of the Neo-Lizardons come with you two in order to help you both gather the Nuclear materials! As for your extra muscle, I have the perfect trio of Animarius soldiers that would protect you two and keep the Kamen Riders distracted! And those three would the ones standing right here! Manticron, Bicornelius, and Chichevala!" Said King Draco as he introduces Manticron, Bicornelius, and Chichevala to Cicadeath and Flygor. "They're some of the strongest members of my Royal Guard, not as strong as Cerberion, but they should give the riders enough hassle for you to get the materials you need and then some!" Draco said.

"Just don't kill Kamen Rider Jewel!" Cerberion demanded. "I want that pleasure all to myself!" He said, frightening Naturia from within the orb on his bandolier. "Sakura, please be careful." Naturia said with worry. Meanwhile, with the Kamen Riders and their allies, we see them discussing with Shintomaru about his revelation of him being the reincarnation of Kamen Rider Decade. "I just don't understand how this could be possible!" Lisa said as the elevator platform continued to descend to the base. "Yeah, I've seen a lot of anime and manga that involves people getting reincarnated from one world to another, but I never thought that would happen in real life!" Sakura said. "I mean, I've known Shin-kun since we were 5, and this, this is just mind blowing!" She added as the elevator door opened. "What in the world?!" Clyde asked as they entered the base and saw something that definitely wasn't there when they where there last.

There they see three huge mysterious spacecraft-like vehicles. "Cool!" Lana said while running up to the top of one as everyone else looked perplexed. "Where on Earth could these have come from?!" Lincoln asked. "I'll check the security cameras." Sakura said, heading to the tabletop computer. "Woah! You guys have to see this!" Lana said from within what appeared to be a cockpit, a single chair inside a dome of sorts. "Really? What's it like in there?" Asked Lincoln as he, Clyde, Shintomaru, and Lisa climbed up towards the vehicle that Lana is in. "Nothing I've ever seen before." Lana said, examining the chair and dome as Sakura pulled up the security footage. There, Sakura sees,from the recording, a large chromatic portal that opened in the base and allowed the three vehicles to crash land into the base before it closed behind them. "Nani?" She couldn't help but ask upon seeing it. "Lisa-chan! Can you come here for a moment?" Sakura asked.

"Oh, of course, Sakura!" Said Lisa, who stopped and decided climb back down to where Sakura is. "What is it?" Lisa asked as Sakura started playing back the footage. "I just wanted to ask what you make of this." Sakura said. Then Lisa took a close look at the portal that dropped the vehicles into the base. "Well?" Sakura asked. "Congratulations. For the first time in my life, I am stumped. All because of you." Lisa said. "Gomennasai, Lisa-chan! I was really hoping you would find out what that portal means!" Sakura said in apology. "Apology accepted, Sakura! Anyways, I'll look into as soon as I examine the interior of the unknown vehicle that Lana is already in!" Said Lisa as she went back to the vehicle and climbed up towards its cockpit where Lana, Lincoln, Clyde, and Shintomaru are already in. "Just what are these things?" Aurachnid asked. "They appear to be some sort of jets from the looks of things." Shintomaru said, taking pictures of the interior.

"This sort of reminds me of those sci-fi movies that either takes place in the future or outer space!" Said Lincoln as he admires the appearance of the cockpit. "Well, whatever they are, they don't look like any jets that I have ever seen, nor do they look like any ever vehicle ever made on Earth" said Lisa she enters the cockpit to join the group. "That portal the cameras show these things coming out of definitely seems suspicious." Sakura said as Lana continued examining. "These things look pretty beat up." She said, noting the several dents in all three crafts' bodies. "I bet with a little elbow grease, and a fresh coat of paint, I can make them as good as new!" She declared, cracking her knuckles.

"You mind if Aya and I take a look inside?" Said Lucy, who, along with Aya, popped up in front of Lana and Sakura, causing them both to jump up in fright. "KYAAAAAHHH! LUCY-CHAN! I SWEAR, ONE OF THESE DAYS, YOU COULD GIVE SOMEONE A HEART ATTACK BY DOING THAT!" Sakura yelled in a scolding manner. "Sorry, force of habit." Lucy told Sakura as the alarm went off. Then takes a look at the monitor as it shows three powerful Animarius signatures in a forested area. "Those readings are near the old abandoned nuclear power plant!" Lucy realized. "You guys have a nuclear power plant?" Aurachnid asked in surprise. "Yes, but it hasn't been in use since the atomic bombs were dropped on Hiroshima and Nagasaki." Lisa said. "My O bachan told me about those days. She lost one of her best friends in the Nagasaki blast, and a brother in Hiroshima." Sakura said glumly.

"Whoa, I never knew that! I feel so sorry for your grandmother's loss, Sakura!" Said Lincoln as came over to Sakura and hugged her in condolence. "Thanks. But what would Draco want at a place that hasn't been inhabited in so long?" Sakura couldn't help but wonder. "I don't know, but we better find out once we get there!" Said Lincoln as he put on his driver. "Right!" Sakura said, equipping her own driver while Clyde let Aurachnid bite his wrist. "And while you guys do that, I'll start work on fixing up these things!" Lana, holding a belt sander in one hand and a paint sprayer in the other said. "Say, just out of curiosity, since Royal Woods doesn't use nuclear energy anymore, then what exactly does this town use for power?" Aurachnid asked in curiosity. "Depends on who you ask. For example, doesn't your house use solar power, Clyde?" Lincoln asked. "Yep." Clyde said as they prepared themselves for the transformation.

0-0-0-1. Let's Go!
Ruby! Sapphire! Topaz! Emerald!
Spider On!

Then all three shouted "Henshin!" as they transformed into their rider forms. "Let's go!" Lincoln said.

Jetpack, On!

"Right!" Sakura said.

Emerald!

And they took off. "Hey! Wait for me!" Clyde said, extending the legs on his back. "Here's hoping I can get enough air to stick to the walls of the tunnels!" He said. Clyde then jumped high into the air and grabbed onto the tunnel walls with his spider legs. Then he proceeded to follow Lincoln and Sakura while saying "Next time, we should take the dirt bikes, cause I clearly don't have any flight capabilities!" in complaint to not being able to fly like his friends. "Unfortunately the tunnels are the only inconspicuous way out of the base, Clyde-kun!" Sakura regretfully said. "But don't worry! We'll take the bikes once we get out!" Lincoln said. "Hey, Lana!" Lisa said, distracting Lana, who had a thoughtful look on her face while holding the paint sprayer. "Yeah, Lisa?" She asked. "See if you can find some sort of Black Box or any other on board computer while you're fixing those! I might be able to get some sort of information out of such devices!" The genius instructed.

"Okay, Lis, I'll let you know as soon as I find one!" Lana said as she went to one of the vehicles to start her repair work/restoration. "Hey, Lucy! Aya! Can you head up topside and get me some cans of orange, white, purple, and black paint?!" Lana asked, confusing everyone else. Meanwhile, with the riders, they had just arrived at the plant. "Good thing we're wearing our suits. According to this Geiger counter Lisa gave me, if it weren't for them, there's a chance we'd be fried by the radiation!" Lincoln said, holding said device. "That raises an important question. How did a five year old get her hands on a Geiger counter?" Aurachnid asked.

"Apparently, Lisa is a child prodigy with a triple digit IQ and, as a result, the smartest member of my family! She is also a Nobel Prize recipient in spite of her young age! She likes to do experiments around the house, which she started doing at age one! Some of her experiments do involve nuclear materials! This resulted in Lisa losing her hair and growing an extra toe on her right foot due to a nuclear experiment gone wrong! *SHUDDER!* She also lost her teeth somehow and now she's currently wearing a wig and dentures to replace her missing hair and teeth! Oh yeah, and she also likes to do experiments on me and the rest of my family, usually without our knowledge or permission, like the one time she switched out Leni's acne cream with something that caused her skin to turn blue like a Smurf! But the most disgusting thing she does is taking poop samples from us while we were using the bathroom just for her own poop studies! *SHUDDER!* Lincoln explained while shuddering at the last thing he said. "EEEEEEEEEEEEEEWWWWWWW! LISA-CHAN! WHY ON EARTH WOULD YOU DO THAT?!" Sakura asked Lisa on her helmet's headset.

"You hairless apes will never understand my reasonings!" Lisa said. "Hey, Lisa! I think I found that black box thingie you asked for, as well as what looks like an onboard computer!" Lana called out. "Alright, Lana, I'll be right there!" Lisa said to Lana. Then she said "I'll have to call you later, Lana found the black box and an onboard computer in one of the vehicles!" right before she cut off communications. Sakura then said to Lincoln, Clyde, and Aurachnid "Okay then, let's get back to the mission at hand while Lisa-chan studies those vehicles!" Meanwhile, in the plant, Cicadeath and Flygor were watching as Neo-Lizardons carried the radioactive materials. "This is more than enough!" Flygor said. "King Draco is going to be so pleased with this!" Cicadeath said. "You're not getting away with any of that stuff!" A familiar voice rang out, the two insects turned to see Lincoln, Sakura and Clyde. "Well, well, well. Aren't you a sight for sore eyes!?" Cicadeath said. "CICADEATH!" Lincoln and Sakura said in unison.

"Yeah, That's right! I'm back! And I've got my own partner here!" Cicadeath said he introduced the riders to Flygor. "I'm Flygor! I can see that you three are the Kamen Riders that General Kabuto warned me about!" Flygor said. "Wait, three?" Cicadeath asked in surprise before seeing Clyde. "Who's the new guy?" He asked. "I'm Kamen Rider Anansi!" Clyde announced. "Wait a minute! That voice! You're Clyde, LL's best friend! The one who shot me in the abdomen!" Cicadeath said while pointing at Clyde after recognizing the new rider's voice. "Hey, what am I? Chopped liver?" Aurachnid angrily said. "Huh?! Who said that?!" Asked Cicadeath as he looked around for the source of the voice. "That would be my spider partner, Aurachnid!" Said Clyde as he pointed at Aurachnid, who is currently at Clyde's belt. "AAAAAAHHHHHH! SPIDER!" Flygor said in a surprisingly girly scream. "So you've got a severely arachnaphobic friend, too?" Lincoln asked. "Well to be fair, spiders do eat flies. I know I enjoyed the occasional fly that wandered into my web before Akoma and I became a team." Aurachnid admitted.

"Do you still eat flies and other insects after you became partners with Akoma?" Clyde asked. "Let's just say your dads owe me for extermination!" Aurachnid joked. "Just what kind of spider are you?!" Asked Cicadeath. "I was originally an ordinary Bum-Eyed Spider before the African spider god Kwaku Anansi turned me into this current form while giving me the power to give my original partner Akoma, as well his descendants, the ability to transform into the spider warrior just by injecting my venom into his blood! And just so you know, my current partner here just so happens to be the last living descendant of Akoma! Also, if anyone outside of Akoma's bloodline gets bitten, they would puff up and explode to death! And that includes you two insects!" Aurachnid answered. When Flygor heard that, his face turned green. Then, he loudly threw up on a pile of rubble "BLEEEEEEEEGH!", causing the pile to melt from the acidic vomit. This made the Kamen Riders and Aurachnid to shout out "EEEEEEEEEEEEEEWWWWWWW!" while Flygor shouted "THE HORROR! THE HORROR!" right before he hugged Cicadeath for comfort. "Now look at you have done, you stupid spider! You made my partner throw up in fright!" Cicadeath angrily yelled as he tries to calm Flygor down.

"That's hilarious coming from the guy who made me PUKE IN MY HELMET! IT TOOK ME THREE LATHER RINSE AND REPEATS JUST TO GET THAT GUNK OUT OF MY HAIR!" Sakura angrily said. "Wait, what?! How he do that?!" Asked Aurachnid. "Before you met Clyde, me and Sakura encountered Cicadeath and he used his very intense soundwaves to not only hurt our ears, but also cause us both to throw up with our helmets on! It was both disgusting and humiliating!" Lincoln explained. "Whoa! Soundwaves can actually do that?!" Aurachnid asked further. "Unfortunately, yes! But from Lisa told me, we would consider ourselves lucky, because that kind of frequency was, as she called it, "the Brown Note" for obvious reasons!" Lincoln answered. "Wait a minute, Lincoln-kun! Are saying that, we could get diarrhea from Cicadeath's soundwaves?!" Sakura asked in fear. "Yes, I'm afraid so, Sakura! Sorry I didn't tell you that sooner!" Lincoln replied in apology. Wordlessly, Sakura removed the Topaz of Earth from her right boot and placed it in her driver.

Topaz!

Switching to her Earth mode and summoning her hammer, she raised it above her head and yelled angrily before charging at Cicadeath. However, before she could hit Cicadeath with her hammer, Sakura was struck in the gut by a very fast Animarius. That Animarius is none other than Chichevala. "Sakura!" Lincoln and Clyde said before rushing over to the jeweled rider. "What happened?" Sakura groggily asked as Cicadeath and Flygor started laughing. "That would be our bodyguards!" Said Cicadeath as Chichevala shows up in front of the riders, followed by Bicornelius and Manticron. "Allow us to introduce ourselves, my name is Manticron!" Said Manticron. "Call me Bicornelius!" said Bicornelius. "And I'm Chichevala!" said Chichevala. "And together we are known as the Human Eaters!" Said Manticron as all three struck a pose together.

"Human Eaters? That's seriously the best name you guys could come up with?" Lincoln asked. "Bite your tongue, LL! Amongst King Draco's Royal Guard, they are some of the most powerful! Not as much as Hell's Watchdog, but still." Cicadeath said. "We may not be as powerful as Cerberion, but we are strong enough to take you all on! As for the reason behind our team name, it is because we literally eat humans! In fact, we use our human-like faces, while also disguising ourselves as humans, to fool them long enough for us to devour them!" Said Manticron, much to the disgust and horror of the Kamen Riders and Aurachnid.

"And I thought Shockwing was disturbing!" Lincoln said. "That poser?" Manticron asked. "HA! He's nothing compared to us!" Bicornelius said. "Deal with them while we finish extracting the materials!" Flygor ordered. "Gladly!" Chichavela said. "Might need to bring out the big guns for this!" Lincoln said, summoning his screen.

6-7-8-9, Shinobi!

"Rider Ninpo! Henshin Mist!" Lincoln called out, entering his super form. "Really? A ninja? Is that the best you've got?" Asked Manticron. "So far, yes. But that's not important!" Lincoln said as he unsheathed his katana while Sakura armed her hammer and Clyde pulled out the Calabasher in Knobkerrie mode. "Hah! Bring it on, pipsqueeks!" Said Bicornelius. "HEY! Who are you calling pipsqueeks?! We're not fully grown yet!" Said Sakura in an insulted tone. "Oh I know that! That's why I called you all pipsqueeks!" Said Bicornelius. "Oh yeah? Well, let me tell you this! You're going down, Tubby!" Aurachnid angrily yelled. (*RECORD SCRATCH!*) "Tubby?!" Said Bicornelius while shedding a tear in sadness after that insult. Then his eyes turned red with rage as he then growled angrily with his teeth bared out. After that, he shouted "NOBODY CALLS ME TUBBY!" right before he charged at Clyde so fast, that he landed a very hard punch on him before his Spider Instincts could alert him, causing the Kamen Rider to be flown towards a tree and crash right into it *CRASH!*. "Clyde!/Clyde-kun!" Lincoln and Sakura said. *Groan* "You just had to make fun of his weight!" Clyde said. "Sorry." Aurachnid said. "Just give me a Spider Break punch variant so I can give this guy what's for!" Clyde said.

"Okay, if you say so! Again, I'm sorry!" Said Aurachnid as he climbs up to Clyde's right arm and wrapped his legs legs around it right before sinking his fangs there. Clyde then slammed a golden energy filled fist right into Bicornelius' face. Only for him to barely feel it. "Oh, that's not a good sign." He said, meanwhile, Lincoln was fighting Manticron and Sakura was fighting Chicavela. "You know, it's a shame. Cerberion specifically told us not to kill you, Jewel..." Chicavela said, while avoiding a boulder Sakura tossed at her. "But I can't help but want to kill you here and now!" She said. She then charged at Sakura and beat her up with her fists and feet in a fighting style similar to that of Tifa Lockhart from "Final Fantasy VII". "That Cerberion is going to pay for what he did to my family, but for now, I'll just channel my aggression into you!" Sakura said, removing all her gemstones.

Ruby! Sapphire! Topaz! Emerald! Gemstone Blitz!

"Hoseki Rider Kick!" Sakura shouted as she slammed through the four gemstones. But before Sakura's kick could impact Chichevala, the latter crossed her arms and then took the kick full force without any injury. "That the best you've got!?" Chichevala asked as she shrugged Sakura off. "You're a fool if you think you'll stand a chance against Cerberion with that power level!" She said as Sakura received a vision of a diamond with the kanji for light in the middle and a figure with butterfly wings. "Maybe so, but I'm not going to give up while I'm still standing!" Said Sakura after the vision has ended. "Yeah, well, I'm still stronger than you, so you're not going to defeat that easily, you little flat greenhorn!" Said Chichevala. "I...am...not...FLAT!" Sakura said as a bright shining light emanated from her body, temporarily blinding Chichevala, allowing Sakura to surprise her with a kick to the face. "How did I do that?" She asked herself.

"I don't know, but that was awesome!" Said Lincoln as he dodged a tail swipe from Manticron. "Oh No! My love, are you okay?!" asked Bicornelius in worry as he rushed to help Chichevala back on her feet. "I'm fine. But she won't be!" Chichevala said. Meanwhile, with Lincoln. "Rider Ninpo! Kage No Mai!" (Shadow Dance) He called out. "Wait a minute, are you challenging me to a dance-off or something?!" Manticron asked in amusement while also understanding what Lincoln meant in English. "Actually..." Lincoln said, vanishing, only to reappear in front of Manticron, slashing his katana down before vanishing again. "I'm pulling off a trick Gorf taught me!" He said, reappearing again behind the Manticore and slashing again, repeating this trick several times at various angles.

One such slash was able to sever the end of Manticron's scorpion tail. "*ROAR!* YOU WILL PAY FOR THAT ONE, YOU PEST!" Shouted Manticron as he grabbed the severed stinger and reattached it to his tail, causing the wounds to heal like Deadpool, much to the surprise of Lincoln. Then, Manticron swung his tail and shot out multiple while at Lincoln, who attempted to dodge them. Soon, Manticron seemingly hit Lincoln with his stinger, only to realize Lincoln had replaced himself with a straw dummy. *ROAR!* "Where are you, coward?!" Manticron asked. "Rider Ninpo! Kunai Storm!" Lincoln's voice rang out as a barrage of kunai daggers rained down on Manticron, Lincoln leaping out from a hiding spot on the ceiling. Then, Manticron spread his wings out and spun around incredibly fast, creating a miniature tornado that sucked up up all the kunai daggers and sent them right back at Lincoln, causing him to be pinned to the ceiling.

"We've got you now!" Manticron said. "Wait! That's enough! We have everything we need! Make a tactical retreat for now!" Cicadeath ordered. "Oh, Come On! Do we really have to?" Asked Manticron. "Don't worry, you'll get another chance later, but for now we need to beat a tactical retreat!" Flygor said. "And to help with that..." Cicadeath said chuckling and taking on an all to familiar stance.

"Better put these on!" Said Flygor as he handed three pairs of earplugs to the Human Eaters while he put a pair on himself. "Uh Oh!" Said Lincoln and Sakura as they know what's going to happen next. "Is Cicadeath is going to do what I think he's going to do?!" Clyde asked in fear. Then, Cicadeath vibrated his abdomen and unleashed his soundwaves on the three riders and Aurachnid, causing them scream covering their ears in pain "YEEEEEEOOOOWWW!". "Dang it! We really should have come prepared for that attack!" Yelled Lincoln. "Tell me about it!" Yelled Sakura. "This is louder than all of your sisters squealing, Lincoln!" Yelled Clyde. "Yeah! Seriously! This a real pain in the eardrums!" Yelled Aurachnid. And just then things couldn't get any worse for them, all three riders felt a terrible pain in their intestines. "OOOOOHHH! Somehow, I think the results are going to be different than last time!" Said Lincoln. "Same here, Lincoln-kun! But yet, it feels awfully familiar to me!" Said Sakura. "Yeah! I feel like my intestines are going to burst!" Said Clyde. Then, all of a sudden, all three riders let out a very loud wet fart *PFFFFFFFFFFFFFFTTTT!*, resulting in some noxious fumes coming from their rear ends. That's when they realize that they felt something moist and that can only mean one thing: The soundwaves have just gave them diarrhea. "No! No! NOOOOOOOOO! I'VE POOPED MY PANTS AGAIN!" Yelled Sakura, who then cried in despair from reliving the 'bean chip incident' from her childhood. Afterwards, Cicadeath stopped his soundwaves while Flygor and the Human Eaters left the building. Then Cicadeath said to the Kamen Riders "Smell you later, Kamen Riders! Or should I say Caca Riders!" right before he too left the building. After that humiliating defeat, the Kamen Riders felt embarrassed and miserable. Then Lincoln turned on his helmet's headset and said "Lis! We've got a "Code Brown", cause we need to change our pants! This is due to Cicadeath giving us diarrhea! Yeah, that's right! The bug is back!".

Speaking of Lisa, she was currently examining the files she had gotten off the onboard computers of the mysterious vehicles. "Project: AQUARION?" She asked upon noticing one particular file. "I SWEAR, THE NEXT TIME WE SEE CICADEATH, HE'S GOING TO WISH KABUTO NEVER REVIVED HIM IN THE FIRST PLACE!" Sakura's angry voice rang out through the base as the elevator let off. "Well, at least I was able get some poop samples from you, Sakura! As well as those from Clyde!" Said Lisa. "Couldn't you have at least waited until I was out of the bathroom first?!" Sakura asked angrily as they all noticed the large tarps covering the mysterious vehicles. "So what's going on here?" Lincoln asked as Lana popped out of one of the tarps. "Well, while you guys were soiling yourselves..." Lana said with a chuckle, leaving the three riders embarrassed. "Lisa and I have been working on fixing up those mysterious vehicles that crashed into the base last night! It took a bit more elbow grease than I originally thought it would be, but after a lot of hard work and a few buckets of paint, I believe I managed to get them back into working order!" She said, tearing off the tarps.

Once that was done, the three vehicles were fully revealed. Beneath the tarps were three futuristic fighter jets, with circular cockpits in the fronts, updated with their rider colors and emblems: the LL logo, the kanji for Jewel, and the red spider for Anansi. The first one looks like a realistic version of the Gyarga from "Galaga", the second one resembles the Nadesico from the "Martian Sailor Nadesico" series with Jewel's four gemstones attached to its body (The Ruby on the right front, the Sapphire on the left front, the Topaz on the right rear, and the Emerald on the left rear), and the third one looks like Battle Spider Shadow's Third Transformation from the "Spider Riders" anime.

"Woah!" Lincoln said. "Amazing!" Clyde said. "Sugoi!" Sakura said. "As you guys can see, I've restored these bad boys back to perfect working order and updated their looks." Lana said. "And while she was doing that, I was looking for information off the onboard computer of the one that looks like something from Galaga." Lisa said, pointing to the jet that now bore Lincoln's colors and emblem. "I believe you're referring to the Gyarga, the name of the hero ship from that game!" Said Lincoln. "That's the one!" Lisa said. "Now that you mention it, this one looks kind of like The Nadesico from Martian Sailor Nadesico! And Clyde-kun, that one looks like the third transformation Battle Spider Shadow from Spider Riders took on!" Sakura noticed. "Yes, anyway, upon further investigation of the files from the onboard computers, I have discovered that these jets, or "Vectors" as I've discovered they're called are actually part of a highly advanced defense system called 'Project Aquarion'." Lisa said, pointing the riders to the file she had discovered just before they arrived. "I was about to check out the file when you arrived."

"So, do you mind showing us that file, Lis?" Asked Lincoln. "Certainly." Lisa said, clicking on the file, pulling up what appeared to be the blueprints for three humanoid machines, and a video. "If I had to guess, I'd say this video should answer our questions." Lisa said, clicking on the video. The video open to see a man with long brown hair and wearing a black eye patch covered his right eye that has a scar running down it and the right side of his face. He is also wearing a green handkerchief around his neck and a long coat. "Greetings! My name is Zen Fudo! I'm the supreme commander of Neo-DEAVA, an organization that finds and trains Elements, special human beings that possess various types of powers, in order to teach them to be pilots for Aquarion! If you're seeing this video, then that means the delivery of these new-model Vectors to your dimension have successful, so congratulations! You, The Kamen Riders, have been chosen to be the pilots for this new Aquarion! You're all probably wondering what Aquarion actually is, where it came from, and why you're dimension has been chosen to be this new Aquarion's new home!" Said the man, now identified as Zen Fudo.

"To say the least..." Lisa muttered. (Warning, There Will Be Spoilers For Both Aquarion And Aquarion EVOL From Here Onwards, Continue With Caution If You Have Seen The Series But Have Not Finished Or Are Interested In Seeing It) "To understand my reasoning, I must first give you a lesson on the history of my world, a lesson that starts about 24,000 years ago, in a heavenly realm named Atlandia." Zen explained. "That sounds a lot like Atlantis!" Said Clyde. Then video changes the setting to an ancient land inhabited by what appears to be angels, much to the shock of the group watching the video. "Atlandia was inhabited by a race known as Shadow Angels." Zen continued to explain. "Shadow Angels?" Sakura asked confused.

"They were supernatural beings that take on many forms, ranging from human-like to creatures straight out of mythology and beyond! One trait they all had in common were the presence of wings, whether they resemble those of birds, bats, or even insects! They also possess supernatural powers such as astral projection, levitation, telepathy, and phasing through matter! One other thing they had in common is that they were all born from a massive flower-covered tree called The Tree of Life!" Zen explained further as images of the various types of Shadow Angels were shown as well as an image the Tree of Life he mentioned, the latter of which shocked and confused the group.

"I wonder if that Tree of Life is anything like the one in King Draco's castle?" Lincoln asked as Sakura leafed through the pages of her ancestor's journal. "Not really." She said, showing Lincoln and Clyde a drawing of the Empire's tree. "There were several Shadow Angels who had different ideals, but no two had ideals more different than a pair of brothers named Appollonius and Toma." Zen said.

"Apollonius was once known as "The Angel of Slaughter" who, along with his twin Toma and a few other Shadow Angels, harvested humans for their Prana, otherwise known as their lifeforce, in order to feed the Tree of Life, which in turn feeds the Shadow Angels with its energy! What's even worse is that while Shadow Angels were psychologically similar to humans, they do not consider humans as sentient beings in their own right! In fact, they don't think that humans are capable of thinking and feeling at all! As a result, the Shadow Angels have no qualms against slaughtering humans and using them like cattle!" Zen explained as the video shows Apollonius and Toma attacking and killing humans while also showing some humans being absorbed into the flowers of the Tree of Life, much to the shock and horror of the whole group. This made Lincoln especially scared, as it reminds him of the horror movie he watched a year ago called "The Harvester". "But, one day, everything changed for Appollonius. When he found love." Zen said.

"A human girl named Celiane caught Apollonius' attention." Zen explained. "Celiane was a swordswoman and a princess who led humanity in a revolt against the Shadow Angels! Upon meeting Apollonius in the battlefield, she fell in love with him as much as he fell in love with her! That event caused Apollonius to betray the Shadow Angels and join the side of the human race alongside his companion, a fellow Shadow Angel known as the Winged Hound Pollon!" Zen said while showing the images of Apollonius and Celiane falling in love. Then it showed images of the couple leading humanity against the Shadow Angels. It even showed Apollonius's companion Pollon, a Shadow Angel in the form of a small dog with bird-like wings and a red tattoo on his forehead, standing alongside his partner and Celiane. "Kawaii!" Sakura beamed at the sight of Pollon.

"Eventually, Apollonius was captured by the Shadow Angels, along with Celiane, and had his wings pinned against a wall! Toma and the Warrior Angel Moroha were ordered by the Shadow Angels' leader, the Elder Angel Johannes, to execute the both of them! When Moroha attempted to kill Celiane, Apollonius begged him not to! After that, Toma offered Apollonius to return to his side if Celiane were to be spared! However, Celiane refused to beg her life to a Shadow Angel, which then caused Moroha to try to stab her with his arm blade! This caused Apollonius to rip his pinned wings off his back in order to save Celiane and block Moroha's attack with his bare right arm! Shocked by the shedding of his wings, the Shadow Angels took this as an act of ultimate disgrace and had Apollonius's wings mounted on a helmet! Toma was especially shocked, because he loved Apollonius more than anyone and felt truly betrayed after Apollonius saved Celiane! This caused Toma to be incredibly jealous of their relationship!" Zen explained as the next set of images shows Apollonius pinned to a wall while Celiane was on the floor. This shows Toma with a dagger in hand while the insectoid Warrior Angel Moroha was prepared to kill Celiane. Then it showed Apollonius ripping his own wings off in order to block Moroha's attack and save Celiane while also showing shocked the Shadow Angels are about these events, especially Toma's reaction. The group even saw Pollon going to Apollonius's side after seeing his partner's wings ripped from his back.

"I think I'm going to be sick." Clyde said, gagging at the sight of Apollonius' wings being ripped off. "I don't know if spiders can even throw up, but I think I might find out." Aurachnid said in agreement. "Here's a barf bag that you two can use!" Said Lana as she hands Clyde a barf bag. After that, Clyde and Aurachnid both threw up into the barf bag. "Thanks, Lana." Clyde said. "Then a miracle occurred, something we call 'Tsubasa no Taiyo'." Zen said. "Solar Wing?" Sakura translated, confused. "Apollonius went on and forged a powerful weapon with the humans to defeat the Shadow Angels and their own giant mechanical weapons called Cherubim Soldiers. That very weapon was called the Mechanical Angel Aquarion!" Said Zen as the images show a giant winged robot fighting large grey mechas that had long limbs resembling Greek columns, much to the amazement the group.

"Okay, I'll admit. I'm fascinated." Lisa said. "Aquarion had three pilots! Apollonius, Celiane, and a third pilot whose name remains unknown to this day! The reason why it needs three pilots is because if it were just Apollonius and Celiane by themselves, they would end up destroying the world together due to their bond between them being too strong! Thus, a third pilot was needed in order to keep balance between the other two pilots so they would not focus only on what the two of them see! Anyways, some point later, Apollonius and Celiane had their final battle against the Shadow Angels in Atlandia! Celiane fought Toma, only to lose the battle! However, before Toma could finish Celiane off, Apollonius joined in and fought Toma off in her stead! While this was going on, Celiane collapsed from exhaustion and mourned how she couldn't even reach Apollonius or Toma right before she fainted! Afterwards, she would wake up all alone and spotted a glowing crystal! She then picked it up and recited a poem: "In hope that our prayers may be answered, I give this to you. Take this jewel in your hand, sparkling like the rays of the sun. As transparent as the waters from a spring. This jewel that holds the moment in flames, bursting from the immortal sun. The distant and immortal soul frolics in the immortal flames. Offer to this temple and no one shall refuse your prayer, or carry it with you on the thorn-filled journey ahead."! This resulted in a seal that was put on Atlandia that would cause the Shadow Angels to sleep for 12,000 years, as well as massive destruction to their realm!" Zen explained as the video showed the final battle he described as well as show Celiane reciting the poem while holding a glowing yellow crystal, causing the realm of Atlandia to be sealed away and the Shadow Angels to sleep for 12,000 years.

"But then, 12,000 years later, the Shadow Angels started resurfacing again." Zen said, slightly frightening the group. "This was caused by an event known as "The Great Catastrophe" in which our Earth's magnetic field to suddenly shift, resulting in the polar ice caps melting and significant parts of the world to be devastated as well as two-thirds of our Earth's population to be killed off! However, the magnetic field's fluctuation also activated various dormant abilities within human genes, resulting in a large a amount of babies to be born with Elemental powers after The Great Catastrophe! This became the foundation of an Element user's abilities!" Zen explained. "We discovered that those people were the reincarnations of people involved in the original conflict." Zen said. "Oh great. More of this reincarnation rubbish." Lisa spat.

"Those specific people were known as Apollo, Silvia de Alisia, and her older brother Sirius de Alisia! Silvia and Sirius were actually the reincarnation of Celiane after the latter's soul split into two! Sirius was born as the dark half of Celiane who didn't want to remember her past while Silvia was born as the light half with all of Celiane's memories! As for Apollo, you would think that he was the reincarnation of Apollonius and for a while, many people thought he was, including Sirius! But, that's not that case! He was actually the reincarnation of Pollon! That's because Pollon actually was in love with Celiane as much as Apollonius was, but he knew that Celiane's heart belonged to Apollonius! So, Pollon cast a wish, to be reunited with Celiane in the next life! After 12,000 years, Pollon reincarnated as Apollo! After being found by Silvia and another Element user named Pierre Vieira, Apollo was suddenly chosen by Vector Sol as it's pilot, allowing him to merge with Silvia in Vector Luna and Pierre in Vector Mars to form Solar Aquarion!" Zen explained as the group was shown how Celiane was split into two people upon reincarnation while Pollon reincarnated into Apollo. They were also shown how Solar Aquarion was formed for the first time. "Still say the whole reincarnation thing is hogwash!" Lisa said.

"You do realize that I'm a reincarnated person myself!" Said Shintomaru. "Afterwards, Apollo was brought to DEAVA HQ in order to train him alongside other Element Users and learn to work together with them as well as how to properly pilot Aquarion! If the name DEAVA sounds familiar to any of you, it's because it's in fact the predecessor of Neo-DEAVA! As for what DEAVA stands for, it's short for Division of EArth Vitalization Advancement! The headquarters was located on the grounds of the former Alician Empire and was built on top of the ruins of Shangri-La, the last stronghold of humankind and where Aquarion was first created 12,000 years ago!" Zen explained as the video then showed DEAVA HQ and its various locations including a colosseum with a running track, the Element School, the garden, the library, and, of course, the Command Deck as well as the Launch Bay where the Vectors were stored and ready to launch. The images of the place amazed the group.

"Okay, I'll admit. I'm a little jealous of the advancements in their technology." Lisa said as Sakura looked at the image of the Vectors on the screen and the Vectors that were currently beneath her house. "I can't help but notice how the Vectors shown in the video are completely different from the ones in our base!" Said Sakura. "Senpai..." Shintomaru said, looking at the screen. "Kohai." He said, looking at the Vectors in the base, confusing everyone but Sakura and Lisa. "Senpai means senior while Kohai means junior! These represent an informal hierarchical interpersonal relationship in organizations, associations, businesses, and schools!" Lisa answered.

"Huh! When you put it that way, that does make sense!" Said Lincoln. "When Apollo and Silvia first met each other, they didn't exactly get along! In fact, they often argue and bicker with one another most of the time! However, they eventually fell in love with each other! Of course, Silvia's brother Sirius became rivals with Apollo out of jealousy due him thinking that the latter was Apollonius's reincarnation! That's because Sirius's true desire was to become the Solar Wing himself! Eventually, after Toma exploited Sirius's desire, he left DEAVA to join the side of the Shadow Angels in Atlandia while also taking Vector Mars with him!" Zen explained as the video showed Apollo and Silvia falling in love while also showing Sirius leaving DEAVA in Vector Mars through a chromatic portal towards Atlandia.

Sakura gasped at this revelation. "I guess Celiane's dark half must have started showing itself that time." She said. "I'm not following any of this! Who is Apollonius' real reincarnation then?" Aurachnid asked as everyone shot him a 'really?' Look his way. "When Sirius returned, he fought against us by combining Vector Mars with a Cherubim Soldier! This fusion was known as Cherubim Mars! And due to Aquarion needing three Vectors in order to combine, we were unable to properly fight him! However, we were able to have help! A new type of Aquarion, created by a joint effort between DEAVA and the New United Nations, leaped into the fray and challenged Cherubim Mars to battle! It was known as the Assault-Type Aquarion! It comes in three different forms: Aquarion Alpha, Aquarion Delta, and Aquarion Omega! Each form corresponds with which Assault-Type Vector is used as the head! The single pilot of that Aquarion was Glen Anderson, who had an accident that put him in a coma and had to sent to DEAVA's medical bay! However, he was then taken to the New United Nations headquarters for a voluntary operation to graft Shadow Angel feathers onto himself in order to the fight the Shadow Angels himself! Unfortunately, The feathers caused some severe reactions at first, forcing Glenn to undergo extreme measures to contain his psychological reaction! This resulted in him losing most of personality and make him behave more like a military machine! If any of you which Shadow Angel those feathers came from originally, they came from a captured Shadow Angel known as the Child Angel Futaba! Unlike other Shadow Angels, Futaba didn't attack out of malice or hatred but rather out of playfulness because he doesn't know that his childish manners were destructive! That cost him dearly, as he was captured by the humans and taken to the New United Nations headquarters for scientific testing! This resulted in his death and then some of his feathers were grafted onto Glenn while the rest were used as a power source for the autonomous systems used in the Assault-Type Vectors!" Zen explained, though the creation of the Assault-Type Aquarion and how a young Shadow Angel was killed for his feathers as well as the grafting of those feathers to a pilot in an experiment really made the group very disgusted and furious.

"It's horrifying!" Sakura said, hiding behind Lincoln. 'Ah, man! Why can't I have a girl like that?' Shintomaru thought to himself. "Excuse me, Lana, do you have a barf bag I can use? Cause I'm going to vomit!" Asked Lisa, who was feeling sick in the stomach from fright. "Sure! Here you go Lis!" Said Lana as she handed Lisa an unused barf bag. "Thank You!" Said Lisa, who then threw up into the barf bag. "During the fight against Cherubim Mars, Glenn was able to quickly switch between the Assault-Type Aquarion's Alpha, Delta, and Omega forms in a relentless assault due to his enhancements! However, Silvia interfered by transferring her emotions for her brother into Vector Omega, causing the Assault-Type Aquarion to be separated back into its component Vectors! After that, Silvia hijacked Vector Omega and then she combined with Apollo in Vector Sol and another Element user named Reika Kou in Vector Luna to form Aquarion Angel! Sirius tried to convince Silvia to join him to the Shadow Angels side, but she refused after declaring her love for Apollo, even after the revelation that both siblings were born with wings in their arms, Sirius having one in his right arm while Silvia have one in her left arm! After that Aquarion Angel fought against Cherubim Mars and defeated by destroying its Cherubim Soldier component, forcing Sirius to retreat back to Atlandia with Vector Mars! Then, Vector was taken back to DEAVA HQ to be stored alongside Vector Sol and Vector Luna! Some time later, the Shadow Angels started to summon a mysterious snow-like substance that can turn humans into plants through a massive portal around our world! At the same time, Apollo and Silvia were having some quality time together that got interrupted when Sirius kidnapped Silvia by spiriting her away to Atlandia! In order to rescue her, Apollo, Reika, and another Element user named Tsugumi boarded Aquarion Angel and used a finishing move called the Infinite Light of Explosive Love to break the barrier it the portal and allow access to Atlandia! This also allows an army of mass-produced Military Vectors to enter Atlandia in an all-out strike against the Shadow Angels! Before entering Atlandia, Tsugumi was teleported out of Vector Omega back to HQ and switched out with Pierre! Then, Apollo, Reika, and Pierre entered the portal to Atlandia in their respective Vectors! Upon entering Atlandia, most of the Military Vectors were destroyed except for nine, which then formed three Armeggedon Formation Aquarions that attacked the Shadow Angels temple. This resulted in Moroha entering the fray system in his own personal Cherubim Soldier, called Cherubim Iskuron, and destroy two of the Assault-Type Aquarions! The remaining Assault-Type Aquarion, piloted by Glen, tried to fend off Moroha, only to be overwhelmed due to Cherubim Iskuron's ability to split itself in two halves! Thankfully, Erika intervention caused to not only regain his personality, but also allow himself to hold Moroha off while Apollo, Reika, and Pierre to fly off towards the temple! Inside the center of the temple, the three pilots discovered the Tree of Life itself!" Zen explained as the video show images of the events that he just described.

"Slow down, old man! You're giving more information than my tiny spider brain can handle!" Aurachnid complained. "Outside, when Glen fought Moroha, he was eventually worn down! That's when he made the ultimate sacrifice, by channeling all of his energy throughout his body, the Military Vectors, and the Shadow Angel feathers on his face to produce a very powerful full-scale explosion, causing both Glen and Moroha to be killed in the process! After that, Glenn's spirit briefly visited Reika in Vector Luna before departing to the afterlife! Then, after finding Silvia in a cage, Sirius challenged the three pilots to battle! The land Former formed Cherubim Mars while the latter three formed Aquarion and started to fight each other while Silvia watches from her cage! Eventually, the fight was interrupted by the arrival of Toma, who used a spear of light to disable Aquarion, allowing Cherubim Mars to literally pin Aquarion against the Tree of Life with several more spears of light! There, Toma revealed the truth that Sirius and Silvia were the reincarnations Celiane after her soul was split in two! This shocked Sirius to the core! Toma also revealed that a part of Apollonius's soul was inside Aquarion itself while the rest reincarnated, though Toma believed that Apollo was Apollonius's reincarnation! Toma then ordered his fellow Shadow Angel Otoha to kill Silvia while he attempted to Sirius! While Silvia managed to escape from her cage and fended off Otoha, Toma was able to control Cherubim Mars and forced it to stab Sirius in the left side with a spear of light, causing that latter to be mortally wounded! This made Apollo so angry, that he was able forcibly break Vector Sol and Vector Luna from their bondage and even force Vector Mars to remove itself from the Cherubim Soldier, allowing him to form Solar Aquarion once more! Toma then piloted his personal Cherubim Soldier, called Cherubim Verizeva, and fought Solar Aquarion right above the Tree of Life! Of course, what none of the pilots realize is that while this was happening, Solar Aquarion started spreading light particles from its wings that fell onto the flowers of the Tree of Life, causing the Tree to be fertilized, which would allow the Shadow Angels to be reborn from it, because that was Toma's plan all along! However, something went wrong! The Tree of Life started to wither and die! Turns out, Aquarion needs a Shadow Angel to pilot it in order for the Tree to be fertilized, otherwise the Tree would die! What's worse is that when the Tree of Life dies, then it's roots that contain the life force of our planet will crumble and then that life force would burst forth, which would result in our Earth to be a lifeless planet for all of eternity!" Zen explained as the video shows the exact events that he just described! The last part caused the entire group to gasp in shock.

"A classic Catch 22 situation." Lisa surmised. "Catch 22? What does that mean?" Shintomaru asked Lisa while everyone else looked at her in confusion. "A dilemma or difficult circumstance from which there is no escape because of mutually conflicting or dependent conditions." Lisa explained. "Ah." Everyone said. "As the Tree of Life started to die, the Earth began to break apart! When Toma realized the fact that a Shadow Angel was needed in order for Aquarion to be truly complete, he decided to force Reika out of Vector Luna and take her place in it's seat! This caused Solar Aquarion to split apart back into its Vector components! Then, Toma went below the Tree of Life and towards a crack in the Earth while being followed by Sirius and Apollo! Silvia tried to follow them as well, but was interrupted by Otoha, who piloted her personal Cherubim Soldier called Cherubim Sur le Kubera! While being chased, Toma attempted to combine into Aquarion with himself as the head! However, neither Sirius, nor Apollo want that to happen and they both attempted to become the head themselves! This resulted in all three Vectors transforming into their head forms without combining and then they fought each other over who gets to be the head! Meanwhile, while Silvia was chased by Otoha, she was saved by Pierre in Vector Omega! Then, Reika found an unmanned Vector Alpha and decided to pilot it and join the battle! Afterwards, Pierre and Reika were joined by another Element user named Rina, who teleported herself to an unmanned Vector Delta and piloted it, to combine into Aquarion Alpha and defeat Otoha for good! As this was happening, Silvia went to the Tree of Life and used an astral projection of herself to locate Apollo, Sirius, and Toma! Once she got there, she sees them fighting each other to no end, much to her sadness! That's when an astral projection of DEAVA's Founder and leader Gen Fudo came to Silvia and shown her how Apollonius and Celiane caused so much pain 12,000 years ago as she then looked at how much hatred and darkness that Apollo, Sirius, and Toma are in! Then, Silvia, from her memories as Celiane felt sorry and realized that from the bottom of her heart that, even though it tears her apart and even if the world came to an end, that she was glad she met her love! After that, Gen Fudo gave her a riddle, "When you clap your hands together, what exists in between? Your right and your left hand, angels and humans, man and woman, Yin and Yang! What is between them?", right before he left! Then, after clapping her own hands, Silvia discovered the answer to the riddle! There was nothing, yet there's warmth and a light born from darkness! That's when she decides to use her astral form to calm down and extinguish the darkness from Sirius, Apollo, and even Toma! Silvia then told the three to perform the Sousei Gattai, allowing them to combine into Solar Aquarion! Only this time, Aquarion turned golden and grew eight times larger than it was before, becoming known as the Legendary Aquarion! After that, Apollo came to Silvia in his own astral form and told her that if all goes well, to meet again in the another 12,000 years as he's going sacrifice himself, alongside Toma and Sirius, in order to save the planet! Then, after saying that promise to Silvia, Apollo then joined forces with Toma and Sirius to use the Mugen Gattai Punch in order to literally stitch the Earth back together while trapping themselves within the planet, taking the place of the Tree of Life! Thus, this act saved our world and caused the people that were turned into plants back to normal! It even freed the humans that were trapped within the Tree of Life!" Zen explained as the video shows the events that he just described, including the final moments between Apollo and Silvia as well as showing the Legendary Aquarion using it's Mugen Gattai Punch to literally pull the Earth back together.

"He sacrificed himself to save the world?" Sakura asked, tightly hugging onto Lincoln, fearing that this war might cause him to make the same decision. "Now, before we move the story forward, you're all probably wondering who the real reincarnation of Apollonius really is! Well, it's none other than Gen Fudo, my original identity! Yes, I'm actually far older than I appear to be! In fact, I'm an Element myself, with my primary ability being inmovabilty, which allows by body and soul to be "inmovable" in the flow of time! Thus I'm a true immortal! As for why I look different from 12,000 years ago, it's actually my own personal choice! Plus, my last name, Fudo, means "inmovable" in Japanese! Therefore my new name, Zen Fudo, means "completely inmovable"!" Zen explained as he claps his hands together. This shocked the entire group. "Clever." Shintomaru said. "Definitely." Sakura agreed. "I still don't understand anything this guy is saying." Aurachnid said.

"Of course, when nearing death, Toma was shocked to find out that Apollo was not Apollonius, but Pollon! This made him feel betrayed a second time! Thus, his death throes caused him to reincarnate into a new Shadow Angel named Mikage Towano, meaning the Shadow of Love! At the same time, while our Earth was saved, the death of the Tree of Life caused the planet to be dimensionally split into two worlds, Vega, the planet that we live in right now, and Altair, the planet where Mikage was trapped in and waited for his plan of revenge for 12,000 years!" Zen explained as the shows the birth Mikage Towano, A purple-robed Shadow Angel who resembles Toma with long feather-like hair and two colorful wings on his head, as well as showing Earth being split into two different planets in different dimensions, Vega, which resembles Earth, and Altair, A red Earth-like planet. This caused the entire group to gasp in shock and surprise. "The planet split in two?" Sakura asked. "12,000 years after Apollo's sacrifice, the world found itself in a familiar space. As promised, Silvia and Apollo were reincarnated into two beings, who were also elements." Zen explained.

"But I'm getting too far ahead of myself. This part of the story should begin with a massive tragedy. You see, while the people who lived on the planet Vega were thriving, things couldn't be the same for those of Altair." Zen said. "There, the human population on Altair was exposed to something called "The Curse of Eve"! This curse caused all the females on Altair to suddenly fall ill and die while only the males survived! As a result, if the males don't mate with any females, the human population on Altair will slowly go to extinction! Thus, in a desperate attempt to repopulate Altair, the leader of Altair Izumo Kamurogi was sent to Vega on a machine called an Abductor via an interdimensional gateway in order to find females from Vega, or as they're called on Altair Rare Iguras, who can endure the trip back to Altair! However, Izumo made an emergency landing on Vega the moment he arrived, due to system trouble, and was rendered unconscious in the process! There, he was found by a young actress named Alicia Sora and nursed him back health! That's when Izumo found out that Alicia was the Rare Igura he was searching for! Of course, He and Alicia became drawn towards each other and fell in love! They even made a baby together! Later, he came back to Altair and planned to betray his planet by didn't tell the top brass about Alicia! Unfortunately, one member wasn't fooled and that member was Mikage! That's when Mikage convinced Izumo to bring Alicia to back with him to Altair! Six years later, Izumo came back to Vega and told Alicia about the Curse of Eve! Wanting to help her lover's home planet, she decided come with Izumo willingly! She wanted to bring her son, Amata Sora, with her, but she was afraid that her son would be put in danger on an unfamiliar planet if she did so! That's when she decided to leave Amata behind while her son watched from afar! However, when Amata witnessed his mother's departure to Altair, Mikage decided to intervene! He used his powers to split Amata into his light and dark halves! While the light half was too scared to follow after Alicia, the Dark Amata showed no hesitation and followed after her! However, when he crossed the interdimensional gateway, instead of being where Alicia was, Dark Amata was in the garden home of Mikage, who erased the boy's memories and renamed him Kagura Demuri while raising the boy as his protege! As for the fate of Alicia, she fell into a death-like sleep after passing through the gate! That's when Izumo placed her in a stasis chamber in order to preserve her from the effects of the Curse of Eve! Ever since then, under the leadership of Izumo, Altair sent sent multitudes of Abductors to kidnap the women of Vega in order to find one among them to be the True Eve, the only female that would be immune to the Curse of Eve! However, there were a few problems! Any women brought back to Altair that would survive the trip would either die or worse, have their personalities and bodies changed into males as a result of the Curse of Eve! Two years later, Neo-DEAVA was formed to combat the Abductors and they created a weapon to do so, Aquarion EVOL! However, when it was first launched, Aquarion EVOL started to go berserk! This is due to two of its pilots falling in love with each other, specifically Donar Dantes and his girlfriend Nanaon! After it went berserk, Aquarion EVOL broke apart! Then, Mikage kidnapped Nanaon and the other pilot while also dismembering Donar, causing the latter to lose both of his arms! This made Donar only survivor of what we called "The Aquarion Disaster"! Ever since then, in order to prevent such a disaster from happening again, male and female Elements were no longer allowed to combine with each other! Further more, in order to prevent any attempted union between the two sexes, the Vectors were installed with something called the Guize Stones! As a result, the name Aquarion was dropped in favor of something else, the Aquarias! They were split into two different types, Type-M, piloted only by males, and Type-F, piloted only by females! Plus, neither type were allowed to fight alongside one another, even when fighting the Abductors! Also, the school that the Elements attended, called the Holy Angel Academy, had kept the two sexes separated from one another via a wall called Berlin! That tradition continued for eight whole years!" Zen explained as he shows the events that he described. Of course, the fact that males and females weren't allowed to work together, even when fighting the Abductors, really ticked the group off!

"I can't believe they chose that as their solution instead of trying to figure out what went wrong!" Sakura complained, slightly gripping Lincoln's arm harder and harder. "Yeah! Don't they realize that kind of tactic's not going to work, especially when there are people in same-sex relationships?!" Said Luna in agreement. "Uh, Sakura... I realize you're angry about this, but can you please let go of my arm?" Lincoln painfully asked. Sakura realized what he was saying and let go. "Oops, sorry about that, Lincoln-kun." She said.

"Anyways, let's get back to the reincarnations of Apollo and Silvia, shall we? Their identities are Amata Sora, the boy you already know about, and Mikono Suzushiro! When he was six years old, he had awoken his Elemental power, the power of flight, which allows him grow wings from his ankles and levitate! Unfortunately, he had no control over his power, causing his wings to appear at unexpected times and scare people around him whenever that happened! This caused him to be isolated from his peers and he grew up friendless because of that! After his mother Alicia left him and his dark half Kagura went after her, Amata believed the reason that she abandoned him was because of his powers! Ever since then, he hates his own powers and he tries to hide them by either putting weights in his shoes or by ripping the feathers off his wings! As for Mikono, she was born as the second born in the Suzushiro Family, A family known for being Elements! However, she did develop any powers, resulting in her being timid and shy! Also, she would often stay inside the house! Besides this, she was also afraid of the Abductors and wouldn't leave the house without her elder brother, Cayenne Suzushiro, protecting her! Sometime in her childhood, Mikono gained a pet, an unusual-looking rabbit-like cat she named Shushu, who was very protective of her and won't let anyone near her! Plus, Shushu would often hide in Mikono's hair, dubbing as a hair ribbon, wherever she goes!" Zen explained as the video shows the backgrounds of Apollo's reincarnation, Amata Sora, and Silvia's reincarnation, Mikono Suzushiro. This made this made the group feel sorry for the two individuals' sad past. It also shows the images of Shushu, though it made everyone confused about the animal's appearance, especially when Shushu was described as a type of cat.

"That is an odd looking pet." Shintomaru said. "And this is coming from a guy who has 10 pet bugs!" He added. "It may be weird, but at the same time it's totally kawaii!" Sakura gushed. "It is!" The other girls gushed. "Now we shall skip ahead to when both Amata and Mikono are 16 years old! Before Amata met Mikono, he worked at a movie theater as an usher! He would often watch a single movie multiple times called "The Skies of Aquaria", a fictional adaptation of the events that happened 12,000 years ago in which Alicia starred as the lead female protagonist! The only conversations Amata had with anyone was his boss! One day, when cleaning up the theater, he notices Mikono, who was watching "The Skies of Aquaria" at one of the front row seats, and asked her if she liked! She replied that it was the first time she ever saw it! Then Mikono asked Amata if he'd like to talk about the film! At this moment, Amata fell in love with Mikono and accepted her offer! Then, the two went out on a date on a gondola ride! Though of course, Shushu made thingy difficult by biting Amata in his index finger right the boat shook! Afterwards, the two lovebirds discussed about the last attack of the Abductors as well as about facts of "The Skies of Aquaria"! When they reached an area that had a statue in its center, Mikono discussed with Amata about the school that the Elements attend and asked him if he ever wanted to pilot an Aquaria! He answered that he did, but he gave up on that because he didn't feel like he would be chosen! Mikono told him she felt the same way and said that they were both incapable! When Amata went to the restroom, Shushu felt the presence of the Abductors and started to alert Mikono! Up in the skies, a fleet of Abductors, led by Kagura in his personal machine Mithra Gnis, came down onto the city and started kidnapping the women there while also causing massive destruction! When they attacked, Amata rushed out and tried to find Mikono in order to protect her from them! Just when an Abductor found Mikono and attempted to capture her, it was intercepted by the Aquaria Type-M, piloted Cayenne Suzushiro, Andy W. Hole, and Malloy Direzza, which them started fight of the rest of Abductors with its machine gun! However, when it encountered Kagura in Mithra Gnis, it was easily overwhelmed by him! That's when I made a phone call to the Headmaster, who is also, Commander of Neo-DEAVA and ordered him to make a drastic tactic, by deploying the Aquaria Type-F in the same battlefield as the Type-M! As soon as that was done, the Aquaria Type-F, piloted by Mix, Zessica Wong, and Sanzaka Bianca, was deployed and it attacked Kagura! However, due to the boys and girls never having interacted with each other before, they were rather uncoordinated with their attacks! This resulted in Kagura taking advantage of them and overwhelm them to the point where both Aquarias fell apart into their Vector components and also caused Andy, Mix, and Sanzaka to be automatically teleported back to base! This also caused a statue to fall on top of Amata when he tried to save Mikono from said statue! Realizing that there's no other way out, Amata decided to activate his power of flight in order to save both Mikono and himself! After that happened, an empty Vector Z came up on its own and teleported both Amata and Mikono to its cockpit! Then, under my telepathic guidance, Amata shouted Aquarion's name and combined Vector Z with Zessica Wong in Vector Y and Cayenne Suzushiro in Vector X to break the Guize Stones and reawaken Aquarion EVOL! After some difficulties, Aquarion EVOL was able to fight off Kagura and flew him past the atmosphere and crush him against an asteroid, causing Kagura to be forced back to Altair by Izumo through an interdimensional gateway! After that, Amata fell unconscious, resulting in Aquarion falling back to Vega while separating into its Vector components, though thankfully, nobody got injured! Amata and Mikono were to taken to the Holy Angel Academy for questioning! " Zen explained as the video shows Amata and Mikono as 16 year olds on their date as well as the sudden invasion of the Abductors! It then showed the Aquaria Type-M fighting them off and then get attacked by Kagura in Mithra Gnis. Then, it showed Aquaria Type-F joining the battle, only for both types to be defeated due to them being uncoordinated. Finally, it showed Amata using his power of flight to rescue Mikono while Vector Z teleported them into its cockpit. It also shows how Amata managed to bring back Aquarion EVOL and fight off Kagura until it forced him be flown past the atmosphere and crush him against an asteroid, which then caused Kagura to be forced to retreat into an interdimensional gateway. The group were quite amazed at how Aquarion EVOL was combined and how it defeated Kagura.

*Groan* "Please, for the love of Kwaku Anansi, SLOW DOWN OLD MAN!" Aurachnid complained. During their stay at the school, Amata was at the all-boys dorm while Mikono was at the all-girls dorm! Of course, Donar Dantes, the chief of the school's male academy, and Suomi Konepi, the head of the school's female academy, discussed about sending Mikono back home after discovering that she had no powers! Mikono was sad about this as she left, cause she would never be able to see Amata again! While this was happening, another Abductor attack started to take place! That's when Amata, Cayenne, and Andy were sent to battle in Aquarion's other form, Aquarion Gepard! However, the Abductors were far too fast and agile for them to handle! That's because they were being controlled and coordinated by their commander Jin Muso, the second-in-command of Izumo! Because the tean couldn't find Jin, Aquarion Gepard was in deep trouble! However, with the help an Element named Shade Elan, they were able to locate Jin in space on an asteroid! Unfortunately, Jin avoided getting hit and he used his army of Abductors to undo the union! That's when I brought Mikono back to Neo-DEAVA HQ and convinced her to take Andy's place in Vector Y! After some reluctance from Amata and Cayenne, they were able to combine with Mikono to form Aquarion EVOL! After destroying the Abductors, Amata unlocked the legendary technique, the Mugen Punch, and defeated Jin, forcing the latter to retreat! Of course, the attack came towards Neo-DEAVA's Holy Angel Academy and accidentally broke through the Berlin Wall! After that, the boys and girls saw each other for the first time and they attempted to rush towards each other! That's when I came forward and stopped them! Then I declared that with the wall that separated the boys and girls broken, I made romance forbidden from that point forward! At the same, the chairwoman of Neo-DEAVA and my associate, Crea Dolosera, came back to HQ after she and I traveled the world to solve Aquarion's mysteries!" Zen explained as the events he described were shown on the video. While the group were amazed at the Mugen Punch's abilities to extend and circle around the planet to the point of destroying the wall that separated the boys and girls, they were extremely furious that Zen declared romance forbidden after that moment!

"Good thing we don't have such restrictions. Right, Lincoln-kun?" Sakura said, flittering her eyes lovingly at Lincoln. "Interesting how his first instinct would be to forbid romance, especially since EVOL is LOVE spelled backwards." Lisa noted. "Huh! You know, I didn't even notice that!" Said Aurachnid. "In order to be better prepared to fight against the Abductors, Crea and I declared that the school will be coed from now on! Of course, in order for the two sexes to get used to each other without causing any romance, they were sent in groups of three, while wearing a at famous dating locations in Neo-Kowloon for an observational field trip! One group was Andy, Mix, and an invisible Element named Yunoha Thrul, who uses a frog-like cat doll whenever and where she became invisible! Another group was Cayenne, Shrade, and Sanzaka! And finally, there's Amata, Mikono, and Zessica! While they were on their "dates" all of the students were ordered to wear a band with a ring that measures their emotions on their upper arm and electrocute them when they fall in love so that everyones powers and emotions can be analyzed in order to prevent the "Aquarion Incident" from happening a second time! The only one exempted from wearing an arm band was Amata! Instead, Donar would follow Amata in hiding and snipe dart him

in the butt every time the latter literally floats in the air from romantic feelings! Of course, Amata would also float if he gets uneasy from being teased by Zessica whenever she tries to seduce him in front of Mikono just so the she would make Mikono jealous!" Zen explained. The this made the group very irked. "You've got to be kidding me! Electric shocks from an armband to prevent people from falling love?! That's just going too far!" Sakura yelled in anger. "Yeah! Not to mention getting darted in the butt for the same reasons! That's just brutal!" Lincoln complained. "Later that evening, at Neo-Kowloon Tower, Mikono couldn't take Zessica's seduction towards Amata anymore and ran from the group! Then, Amata came after her and apologized to her! That's when the two fell in love! However, Kagura, who secretly snuck out of Altair in order to find Mikono, came out of hiding and tries to kidnap her, causing Mikono to be electrocuted to unconscious from uneasiness! That's when Amata immediately came to her rescue and carried her in his arms while trying to fly away from Kagura! However, Kagura followed after them in Mithra Gnis! Of course, he was intercepted by Cayenne in Vector Y, Zessica in Vector X, and Andy in Vector Z! Unfortunately, Mithra Gnis was too strong for them! That's when I ordered Andy to be switched out with Amata while Cayenne was switched out with Shrade, due to the former's injuries! Then, with Shrade as the Head Element, The Vectors combined form Aquarion Spada and defeat Kagura with the Moonlight Requiem attack! Before Kagura could continue to fight, he was forcibly escorted by Jin back to Altair! While Amata and Zessica wanted to follow Kagura, they had cancel that plan due to the last attack taking too much energy from Shrade and, as a result, left him hospitalized! After recovering from the battle, he was visited by Crea, who tried to convince him not to pilot Aquarion again! This is because Shrade has an inherent frailty that makes the physical strain of piloting Aquarion easily damage his body and drain his lifeforce! However, Shrade refused because he still urged to pilot Aquarion, stating he had the perfect melody for it! To summarize things, Shrade was a musical prodigy with talent for the violin and the piano, though his Elemental power was a powerful negative one! His power uses the medium of sound in order to control the emotions of others! When Shrade was a child, his power was uncontrollable and his piano playing arroused extreme negative emotions from within anyone who hear it! That made Shrade unintentionally cause his parents to kill each other right in front of him! He was eventually scouted by Crea and joined Neo-DEAVA! There, he learned to control his power, becoming considered the single strongest Element in Neo-DEAVA! Of course, his aptitude test shows that piloting Aquarion would shorten his lifespan!" Zen explained as the events he described were shown on the video. When it got to the part about Shrade's backstory and his frail health, the group couldn't help but feel sorry for him. Even Lucy shed a tear for him.

"That's so sad!" Sakura, knowing what Shrade went through with his parents, said while gripping the heart charm on her necklace. "Now, we get to Yunoha Thrul, an Element with the power of invisibility! When she first transferred to Neo-DEAVA, she was very timid and shy! Because of that, she tends to use her invisibility most of the while carrying around her frog doll! Due to her invisibility, the students started to rumors about a girl that transferred but then just disappeared and some students started to believe she was a ghost when Yunoha started to interact with them more!" Zen explained. "Sigh! I know how it feels to be invisible, though not in the literal sense!" Said Lucy. "However, when Jin unleashed a new remote-contolled Abductor called Radius Gnis and attacked Aquarion Gepard, piloted by Zessica, Amata, and Cayenne, with floating mirror balls that reflect and direct his laser attacks towards his target! This caused Aquarion Gepard to disassemble back to its Vector components! That's I ordered Zessica to be switched out with Yunoha! After that Amata had the Vectors combine into Aquarion EVOL while also allowing Yunoha to be finally seen for the first time! This caused her to be embarrassed to the point where she turned invisible again, resulting in Aquarion EVOL to only be invisible too, but also capable of being intangible! This caused the lasers to phase through it without any damage, allowing Aquarion EVOL to get close enough to Radius Gnis and destroy it with the Subliminal Punch! Afterwards, Yunoha started to show herself more often, though she still turns invisible when shy! She even started hanging out with Amata and the other Elements!" Zen explained as the video showed how Yunoha used her invisibility to save the day! This made the group very impressed.

"It's just like how I use my Shinobi mode's powers sometimes!" Lincoln noted. "Yeah, yeah, yeah. When are you going to get to why these things are in the base?!" Aurachnid asked impatiently. "Some days later, Jin returned in a stronger version of Radius Gnis without remote control! While Amata, Mikono, and Zessica were having difficulty fighting him in Aquarion EVOL, due to Jin having analyzed their fighting data and overwhelmed them to the point of breaking the union apart and damaging the pilots suits with Infil-shots! While evading the attacks in Vector Y, Zessica was able to sense the missiles and dodge them! That's when explained that the lesser their bodies are covered (or the more they let their guard down), the stronger and sharper their senses become. And so, Zessica rips off a part of her suit, resulting in her success in the battle! Later Amata does the same while Mikono, in obvious reluctance, follows them! Then, with the battle in the pilots' advantage, Zessica led the unification of Aquarion Spada and launched the final blow, called the No Guard Attack, resulting in the defeat of Jin! However, Jin survived the explosion and later infiltrated the Academy under the alia of "Akbarjin Batbayar"! Though, everyone simply calls him Jin for short due his false name being too difficult to pronounce! At first, Jin found it quite difficult to get used to the environment since he was around girls for the first time! As as result, he would get into various incidents such as seeing MIX burying Andy into his own hole, Suomi accidentally taking Dantes' left hand, and getting in the girl's way into the cafeteria! He even walked into the girl's locker room unintentionally, but luckily he was defended by Yunoha before the girls could beat him up! Meanwhile, Cayenne and Shrade have a conversation about their problems! Cayenne was bothered by a nightmare about a one-eyed monster in a form of a giant robot, and he states that if he knew what the nightmare was truly about, it wouldn't bother him as much! Shrade stated that a noise came into the academy a few days ago that might have a connection to the disappeared Radius Gnis's pilot, which catches Cayenne's attention, making him suspect that Jin was the Abductor's pilot and the One-Eyed Monster. Meanwhile, Jin was still trying to get used to girls, first by reading textbooks on them in the library, though it sort of disgusts them that he's doing so! While he was there, he comes across Yunoha. When he commented that being invisible would allow him to be left alone, Yunoha disagrees with his theory and starts to cry, which leaves Jin's guard down. Later, while analyzing the data of all the girls of the academy he spots Yunoha and realizes that she's the "dangerous one" who helped Amata to defeat the first version of Radius Gnis! After sending the data to Izumo, he ordered Jin to find this "dangerous one" and bring her back to Altair! Reluctant at first, Jin gives in and attempts to follow Izumo's order! With the help of Andy and Amata, Jin enters the Girl's dorm area and finds Yunoha's room so he could take her, even though his roommates believed that he only wanted to converse with Yunoha regularly! However Jin was being spied by Cayenne so that he could question Jin! When Cayenne saw Jin in the girl's dorm area, he suspected him of being the enemy and attempts to kill him with a gun! As Amata, Andy and Yunoha try to stop Cayenne, he fired a shot that is aimed at both Yunoha and Jin, but the bullet was blocked by Jin's newly-found Element power, the power to isolate, which was in a form of a barrier! After the shot, Yunoha fainted and that made Jin very worried! Both Shrade and I notice that the noise is still present, but the noise continues to change ever so slightly! The next day, Cayenne and Jin were locked for that incident! When Cayenne states his distrust to him, Jin wondered what his power was! When he was released while Cayenne was still locked up, Jin is visited by Yunoha, much to his embarrassment! When Dantes reported to Crea and I about Jin's fake personality, we told him that Jin still passed the final entrance exam and that his power to cut off was needed! Later, Jin was invited by Andy to a meeting in order to discuss about the then-upcoming anniversary of the Academy as well as help the former get used to girls before making a union! Later, while everyone was preparing for the movie for the anniversary, "The Skies of Aquaria", Jin unsuccessfully tries to make contact with Izumo, in which Yunoha hears him. When Jin asked Yunoha if she was listening to his conversation, he tried to catch her! This caused him to accidentally break her doll, much to his horror! While Amata prepared the movie projector, Mikono remembered how they both met which led to their life in the academy! Amata apologized to her for bringing her into danger to which she denies! When Mikono tells the phrase - "Everyone has wings to fly beyond their destiny" - the phrase Alicia said in the movie, Amata reveals that his mother is Alicia herself! After Amata explaining everything to Mikono, she told him about her backstory! Mikono added that everyone is wanted by someone, that someone somewhere is waiting for them! That made Amata happy again! Amata then proposed her to find a special place for both of them during the movie "with his wings that go beyond destiny", much to his embarrassment, though it Mikono laugh! When Zessica noticed Mikono and Amata together, she becomes so jealous that she breaks twists light pole with powers! Meanwhile, Jin was determined to apologize to Yunoha while fixing her doll! At the same time, Mikage was watching and he was impressed that Jin is going through emotional changes! Jin manages to fix Yunoha's doll and apologized to her! He was also relieved that she didn't heard anything! Yunoha then convinces him to watch the movie with her, to which Jin agreed! That night Mikage manages to take Jin's device and place it on a bench where Yunoha and Jin promised to meet, for Yunoha to pick it up! She notices that Jin's device was receiving a call right before he came and she pretended that nothing happened! After Shrade's piano performance, the movie started with everyone enjoying it and many things happening unknowingly to anyone: Yunoha is afraid to give Jin back his device, Jin looks at her eyes! Meanwhile, Zessica watched the movie alone while Amata managed to take Mikono's hand before flying up with her in his arms while looking into each others eyes! However the movie was interrupted by the Abductor threat alarm. By seeing Mithra Gnis, Amata and Jin recognize that it was Kagura! Jin then took advantage of Kagura's attack and took Yunoha with him! While Amata, Mikono and Zessica form Aquarion Evol to battle the Mithra Gnis, Kagura managed to turn back the Infinity Punch against them! This was due to Kagura's own element power that allows him to revert the laws of nature! Meanwhile, Jin hijacked one of the spare vectors, specifically a Vector Z, and took Yunoha with him! Yunoha tried to dissuade Jin, but without success! Then, an image of Mikage appeared in HQ and demanding me to reveal the location of the original Aquarion! Donar recognized Mikage as the man who attacked him 8 years before and fired against him, forcing him to retreat! Having defeated Aquarion, Kagura grabbed Mikono but Amata snatched her from him! Kagura attempted to kill Amata by reversing the flow of blood into his body, but Andy and MIX appeared to stop him in time! Then, Zessica, Cayenne, and Shrade used their Vectors to drive him back to Mithra Gnis! Afterwards, instead of returning to Altair with Yunoha as planned, Jin had a change of heart and turned back to help the other students! Then he convinced Cayenne and Zessica to form Aquarion Gepard with him while Schrade, Amata and Mikono form Aquarion Spada! With Gepard's new attack, the Dimension Shutting Cannon, Jin and Yunoha close the dimensional gate powering the Mithra Gnis allowing Shrade to cleave it in two, but not before Kagura is rescued by Mikage, who then used his powers to kill Jin for his treason, much to Yunoha's horror and despair!" Zen explained.

As they watched the events that described, the group were horrified by the death of Jin Muso after he had a change of heart. "I can't believe he did that!" Sakura said, appalled, while at the same time worrying about the futures of Toadus and Gorf as the war went on. Lincoln put a reaffirming hand on his girlfriend's shoulder, letting her know it was going to be fine. "Even I wasn't happy about Jin's murder! The following morning, the students of Neo-DEAVA attended the funeral of Jin and the other classmates who were killed in the last battle, except for Yunoha, who sheltered herself into her room in grief! Meanwhile at Altair, Mikage informed the people about Jin's death, stating that his sacrifice will not be in vain! In other words, Mikage lied about how Jin died in order to make the latter a martyr! When Izumo confronted him about his reasons for killing Jin, Mikage claims that it was all part of his plan to save the people of Altair! Back on Vega, I asked Mikono to fetch Yunoha, because if she were left for too long with her invisibility power out of control, she would have erased her very existence! After the late students' bodies are buried, Crea revealed to the elements about the existence of Altair and their intention to kidnap female elements from Vega! After that, i ordered Andy to dig holes for him and his companions to be buried too as part of a special training for the pilots to improve themselves by passing through a near-death experience! I called it the "Special Training of the Grave"! Mikono was the only one who refuses to take part in the training, but i didn't complain with her decision. Meanwhile at Altair, Mikage, after he witnessed the scene, did the same to Kagura against his will by burying him with his feathers! As time passed by, the buried students get more and more desperate while they faced their own fears and some even lose the will to live, especially Yunoha, who'd rather stay buried beside Jin! Soon enough, their powers started to go haywire! Just when Mikono felt Yunoha's life growing faint, she too gets desperate and unwillingly activated her own elemental power, the power of unification or to connect with the hearts of other Elements! She can even speak with the dead! After Yunoha hears Jin's voice asking her to keep on living, all elements emerged from the ground via cocoons with their spirits fully renewed!" Zen explained as the events the described were shown on the video. This made Lucy rather impressed with the Special Training of the Grave. "Lucky!" Lucy enviously said, causing everyone to nervously back away from her.

"However, their celebration was cut short when Kagura also risen from the ground, right in front of them! When that happened I left the scene with Crea, while Malloy and Sazanka escaped with Mikono by car! Kagura defeated the students who stand in his way, eventually intercepting the car and fled with Mikono towards the city! Finally alone with Mikono, Kagura kept on insulting and threatening her, much to her fear until she figured out that just like his reversing powers, Kagura also speaks in reverse! Meanwhile Amata and Zessica searched for Mikono together! Being jealous over Amata's anxiety to rescue her, Zessica confessed to him that Kagura and Mikono may be the reincarnations of Apollon and Sylvie respectively, thus they were destined to be with each other! Kagura also reveals that fact to Mikono, whom he insists to call "Sylvie"!

Kagura tried to contact Mikage while asking for help! But Mikage refused to comply and he used his powers to lead Amata to Kagura instead! Determined to rescue Mikono, Amata confronted Kagura just to be severely beaten by him, until he remembered his special training and freed himself of all attachments, unlocking his newest ability ,Detachment Wings, and rendered Kagura's reversing power useless! Then, Kagura was shot in the back by Cayenne with a machine gun! Kagura then used his reversal powers to make Cayenne drop his weapon while also injuring the latters sholder with stray bullets from that gun! After that, Amata picked up the fallen weapon and attempted to finish Kagura off! But, just when he was about to put down Kagura, Mikono stood between the both of them and asked Amata to spare him! Kagura fell unconscious due to the blood loss and was, once again, rescued by Mikage! Mikono wondered about her encounter with Kagura, while Yunoha payed a visit to cheer her up! Mikono confessed to her that Kagura may not be a bad person at all as he was the only one after her that her pet Shushu does not get angry at, while it gets furious near Amata! Amata heard their conversation and decided to find a way to have Shushu like him too! After he bought some presents to Shushu, Amata met with Zessica, who wanted to apologize for what she said previously to him about Mikono and Kagura, but she did not have the courage to do so! Meanwhile at Altair, Ianthe, the machine created to support the planet and developed by Izumo's mother, was giving signs of failure, causing disasters throughout its surface! Back on Vega, I had decided to organize a mock battle between both Aquarions, despite my being warned about its risks, on an abandoned island. Cayenne, Malloy and Sazanka were chosen to participate in the battle piloting Aquarion Gepard against Amata, Mikono and Zessica piloting Aquarion Evol! Since the beginning, the battle became one sided as not only Cayenne can easily target his opponent with Gepard's weapons and his clairvoyance, but Malloy's "Power of Curse" collapses all buildings Amata tried to use for cover! The situation got worse when Sazanka used her "Power of Corrosion", to rust Aquarion Evol's legs! Amata kept wondering if just as Cayenne claims to have already foretold his victory, his love for Mikono was foretold to be unrequited, if Mikono and Kagura wee really destined to be with each other as suspected, but he refused to give up to fate! Afterwards, Zessica apologized to him for what she said and then she confessed her love for him! Zessica's unrequited love triggered a reaction that unlocked Aquarion Evol's ability, Super Dimensional Infinity Attack, with the Infinity Attack traveling through time and space while Amata, Mikono and Zessica were shown images of Apollo, Sylvia and the events that occurred 12.000 years before, right before the attack hit Aquarion Gepard! This resulted in the attack destroying the entire island, although both Aquarions and their pilots resisted the explosion! The images of the past made Amata even more suspicious about Kagura being the reincarnation of Apollo, due to their similar behavior and appearance, while Mikono believed she had met Touma before, but does not remember from where or when!" Zen explained as the events that he described were shown on the video. *Groan* "My head is starting to hurt from all this." Aurachnid complained.

"The next day later, I ordered the Elements to take part in a top secret mission! Taking three vectors and a crate of bananas, they were instructed to enjoy themselves beside a lake while waiting for further orders! While Mikono and Zessica set themselves apart from the others, Andy finds himself a chance to confess his feelings to Mix! But unfortunately for him, he ended up stumbling his words and created a misunderstanding that brings forth Mix's fury on him! She then left him on the plane! As Andy was sitting hopelessly on the floor, he unwillingly dug up an endless hole with his powers! Suddenly, a dimensional gate opened and a giant creature passed right though it, creating a blizzard that struck the entire area! Cayenne, Amata and Sazanka form Aquarion Gepard to confront it while Mikono and Zessica sheltered themselves in a cave and the others took refuge in the hole dug by Andy! Andy kept unconsciously digging the hole until he reached some ruins and several streams of hot water emerged, pushing several other elements inside the Aquarion! The hot water mixed with the bananas refreshed the pilots ,who were freezing because of the blizzard, and together they form Aquarion Evol to perform the Cluster Mugen Attack technique, firing several Infinity Punches at once that crushed the enemy! As Mikage watched the battle from his garden, he claimed he had found a piece of the Legendary Aquarion, but its most important part lies elsewhere! The following day, Zessica was seen wearing a different outfit than usual, and tells Mikono that she got rejected by Amata! She also told Mikono to not worry about the former's feelings for Amata, as she knows they were unrequited and figured that Aquarion wouldn't go out of control because of that! The next day, I left the Academy early in the morning in order to find the Legendary Aquarion! Meanwhile, on Altair, after being informed that the Iron Sea, the name of the city on that planet, was at the brink of collapse, Izumo finally takes the matter of obtaining the True Eve in his hands and attacks the Neo-DEAVA base by himself in his Abductor called Afura Gnis! The elements tried to stop Izumo only for him to reflect their attacks back at them! Afterwards, he demanded them to surrender one of their female students! Zessica, heartbroken for having her feelings for Amata unrequited, volunteered herself to accept his request! However, Mix tried to stop her and got herself captured by the enemy instead!" Zen explained as the events that he described were shown on the video.

"Oh, my!" Sakura said. "This doesn't bode well." Lisa said. "That moment made Andy felt devastated due to his love for Mix! Meanwhile, I was still haven't returned from from travels. So, in spite of not knowing my whereabouts, Mikono left the academy to look for me! While that happened, Mikage appeared before Zessica as a "projection" and put her under his influence by placing a special seal upon her forehead, saying that because he understood how it feels like to not be the "chosen one", he would "help" her! Suddenly, a dimensional gate appeared, and a team of elements was assembled: Amata, Zessica, Yunoha, Andy and Shrade (He forcefully replaced Cayenne)! They passed through the gate and infiltrated Altair, in an attempt to rescue Mix! After infiltrating the first layer of Altair, the five enter the city, knowing nothing about the sad world! They took notice about how the world was filled with only men, but they did not stop! They get to the main base where MIX was expected to be imprisoned in, but due to Andy's hasty actions, security had already detected them! After taking hostage one of he guards to use as a guide, Zessica, Yunoha and Shrade volunteered to be decoys while Amata, Andy and the hostage proceed to rescue Mix! But the partners were soon at a dead end after being tricked by the hostage's words! Andy decided to become a decoy so that Amata can escape! Andy was captured and, while escaping, Amata stumbles into a room where his mother was held in! Meanwhile, the guard who was taken hostage, removed "his" helmet to release a familiar hair-style...! After discovering the dormant body of his mother, Amata was approached by Izumo, who reveals to him the nature of the Curse of Eve that afflicts Altair! Meanwhile, Andy broke free from his imprisonment and kept searching for Mix! Back on Vega, Mikono searched for me and, eventually, she finally found me! After explaining myself about my powers as well as how old I really was, I brought her with me on a boat and told her that was seaching for the Legendary Aquarion what still supporting Vega from within! Meanwhile, Zessica and Yunoha started feeling strange and Shrade formed Aquarion Spada with them in order to pick up Andy and Amata! While they struggled to escape from the Altean forces, the elements confront an enemy machine piloted by none other than Mix herself, who claims though that she's now a boy called "Mixy", due to having been brainwashed after she was turned into a boy by the Curse of Eve! Left with no other choice, the team decided to have Aquarion Spada use a new technique called the Black Hole Arrow to open a portal back to Vega and then they managed to escape! After that, Amata's team returned from Altair after failing to save Mix! Even though the girls in the team had recovered from the "curse of Altair", Shrade's condition had gotten worse! Meanwhile, Mikono and I kept traveling together in our search for the Legendary Aquarion! After having a nightmare involving Mikono and Kagura, Amata fled to the town where he first met Mikono in order to search for her! But the town was deserted, due to the recent Abductor attacks! Somewhere within that town, Kagura was walking around, as he was teleported there by Mikage, with hidden reasons! Zessica and Cayenne were ordered to bring Amata back to the base! During that task, Zessica was able to confront Amata face-to-face! In the theater where Amata met Mikono for the first time, Zessica was about to tell Amata something important, only to be interrupted by an unknown Abductor which smashed the roof open! Zessica and Amata fled the theater, but when the Abductor caused many large pieces of rubble to fall upon them during their escape, Zessica sacrificed herself to protect Amata.! With large pieces of rubble upon Zessica's legs making it impossible for her to move, Amata attempts to lift the rocks, but the task is too much for him! Behind them, the Abductor was about to take a swing with a sword towards them! Knowing that it was not possible, Zessica tells him to run, but he heroically tells her that he would never leave her behind! Touched by such words, Zessica thanked Amata, thereafter giving him a kiss to the lips! That caused Amata to unintentionally fly up from the emotional outburst of Zessica's love, but he tried to hold onto Zessica's hand! Though painful for her to do, Zessica sent him off, while the Abductor swings and devastates the area where Zessica is, while Amata flies safely out of the zone! After Cayenne and other Elements arrived and press back the Abductor, Amata flew back to see if Zessica is fine! Before reaching the location, Amata and Kagura meet again, and both finally remember the connection between each other! Amata learned from Kagura how they, who once were one and the same, were separated into two different beings! Kagura even told him how Mikage erased his memories and raised him after the former followed Alicia to Altair! Meanwhile, I sensed that the Legendary Aquarion was about to awake! When it did, Mikono and I were taken into the ground by the extended hands of the Legendary Aquarion! Mikono was transported back to the city where Amata and Kagura were in, while I returned to Neo-DEAVA HQ! While Amata and Kagura had a vicious fight in front of Mikono, the sealed Legendary Aquarion also unearthed and revealed itself! Meanwhile, Zessica, under all the rubble, believed she was dead, and envisioned herself in a barren field! Amata showed up and tells her that she was his precious one! But when Zessica embraced back, the Amata changed into Mikage, who tells her that she was still needed to fulfill her promise to him! Zessica woke up and pushed away all the rubble with her Element power! She then looked around and saw Amata and Kagura fighting on the rooftop nearby! While that was happening, Shrade pushed his life to the limit in order to confront the blade-wielding Abductor, but when he fainted in mid-fight, Mikage used this chance to command the Abductor to steal the sealed Legendary Aquarion and bring it back to Altair! Kagura was able to take Mikono and bring her back to Altair through a portal! Before the portal closed, Shrade, Amata and Zessica flew off into the portal in Aquarion Spada and chased after the Abductor to bring back both the Legendary Aquarion and Mikono! However, the Abductor dropped the Legendary Aquarion through a golden portal while within the rift and then attacked Aquarion Spada! While the team was able to destroy the Abductor with Aquarion Spada's new technique, Crucifixion Sword, the enemy's explosive destruction caused the union to be cancelled out! Meanwhile, on Vega, due the Legendary Aquarion no longer underneath the planet, the crustal movements and weather patterns started to become abnormal around the world!" Zen explained as the events that he described were shown on the video.

"That does not sound good at all." Lisa noted. "As Zessica, Amata and Shrade flew in their the vectors, they struggle to pass through due to the rifts of space and time! In response, even though his body was slowly breaking apart, Shrade called the two others to form Aquarion one last time, so that their travel will be fully successful! Zessica and Amata were in disagreement at first! but then, after Shrade told them that he can guide them through the rift, they formed Aquarion Spada once again! With Shrade at the lead, he takes out the Aquarion's sword and thrusts it out, and the sword took on the form of a tuning fork! He explained that using this "fork", he can let them all hear the melody of time! Back at Neo-Deava, Zen Fudo started story-telling about the Legend of Aquarion to everyone at the command center! Using my hidden right eye, I had casted an illusion upon the main crew of Elements, along with Suomi and Donar! Crea accompanies the story-telling along with me, and we started from 24,000 years ago, when the Fallen Angels first attacked! Meanwhile, Amata, Zessica and Shrade are able to see the same story being told by the melody of time! After I shown them the events that happened 24,000 years ago, I then showed the events that happened 12,000 years later, the time of Apollo and Silvia! Then I told them that, another 12,000 years later, in the present era, the spirit of Pollon/Apollo was passed down now to Alicia, who gave birth to Amata. Amata, as the new Apollo, was split by Mikage, who was displeased with the new world after being reincarnated from Toma, and created the current Amata and Kagura! On the other hand, they knew Celiane/Silvia is Mikono! I had explained to everyone that they are the new generation who would fulfill this ongoing legend, along with the fact that the future is still a blank page for them to write upon! In acceptance, Shrade pulled his full power into shaking the rift of time so that Amata and Zessica could get through! He understood that his time was pretty much up, and that he wanted to play a final piece in thanks to his friends! After he used his Element powers to tune up the tuning-fork sword, Shrade shot the sword like an arrow and it broke through the rift! As soon as that was done, the Aquarion disbanded and left Shrade's vector behind! Though regretful, Amata and Zessica flew on ahead as Shrade died and his existence disappeared into time and space!" Zen explained as the events that he described were shown on the video. The fact that Shrade died while allowing his friends to pass through the rift really made the group incredibly sad, especially Luna and Lucy, after they heard his final music.

"And I thought Apollo's sacrifice was sad to see!" Sakura said through tears, tightly gripping Lincoln. "Yeah! And he died like any musician would want, with a final note!" Luna said right before she cried while bursting rivers of tears from eyes. "This is sad, even for me!" Lucy as she too shed tears. "Back on Altair, Kagura, upon his arrival, was attacked by his fellow Altairians due to disobeying orders! As he escaped and hid, Amata and Zessica finally crash-land on Altair! Zessica searches for Amata's vector but was surprisingly met by Mikage! Before she could escape, Mikage stole kiss from her and possessed her body, in fulfillment of their "promise"! As Kagura was in hiding, he asked Mikono if was fine! She then complied that she was finally able to apologize! They were then surrounded by Izumo's men, but "Zessica" comes in, telling Kagura to call the Legendary Golden Aquarion, as "she" claims that he was the only one able to call it! Kagura called out the Aquarion's name, and it indeed responded and activated, sucking in "Zessica", Kagura and Mikono inside itself! All of Mikage's plans were going smoothly! Then, they rode the legendary Solar Aquarion and fight off Izumo and his men! When Kagura unlocks an incredible power beam that wipes out almost all of Izumo's men, Izumo himself headed straight on and took the fight to the highest seriousness possible! MIXY joined the fight, making it difficult for the Solar Aquarion! At Neo Deava, by my orders, Cayenne, Andy and Malloy rode the second set of vectors in order to reach Altair, by forming Aquarion Gepard and using a portal created by a technique that used Andy's Element ability of creating holes, the Black Hole Cannon! Then, they headed straight on towards Altair! Amata had already crash landed on the planet, but heard the voice of his mother, Alicia! When he came near a white structure, that is surrounded by fertile grasslands and streams, he is instantly transferred into that structure, only to be in a room where his mother was in a life-support system! Alicia starts to tell the tale of Izumo, who is Amata's true father, and how she decided to go to Altair to save his world! But, as seen, she could not fulfill this role! Aquarion Gepard finally breached through the dimensions and reached Altair, only to see the Solar Aquarion and Izumo & MIXY fighting! The fight becomes three-way, which did not please Mikage! Using a special laser from the shoulder of Solar Aquarion, Mikage was able to make Kagura press forward and shoot directly at the white structure Alicia was within! The structure collapsed and destroyed the life-support system, ultimately killing Alicia along with it! Izumo was shaken by this and attempted to rush towards the structure! Using this chance, Kagura fired the powerful beam at the turned-back of Izumo Abductor, which lead to Izumo's fall! On land, Amata saw Izumo's fall and headed to the crash location! Izumo was barely alive, with injuries that will soon end his life! Amata supported him and brings him towards Alicia's place! But then they stopped and saw mayflies, which Izumo thought have died out at the same time as the females of Altair's human population! That's when he realized that they were at Area 337, a place on Altair that had frequent trouble with the Ianthe, the main power source of the planet that was created by Izumo's mother Oriza to extract power from the planet itself! Izumo then began to realize that due to the Ianthe drawing out too much power from planet, the planet itself takes away the ability to give life from the creatures on it to conserve energy, resulting in what is known as "The Curse of Eve"! Right after asking himself if his entire life was futile, he collapsed in front of Amata and died! Then, Alicia's spirit came and held hands with Izumo spirit, telling the latter that his life was not futile because he brought Amata into the world and he would connect the two worlds! Then, Alicia told Amata that he was the proof the love between her and Izumo while also telling him to love Mikono as well! Then, the spirits of Izumo and Alicia left for the afterlife while Amata watched in sadness!" Zen explained as the events that he described were shown on the video! The sight of this was so sad that everyone burst into tears. Even Lisa couldn't hold her emotions back as he said "Usually, I'm immune to human emotions, but...!" right before she too burst into tears and cried loudly.

"A romance like this reminds me of my parents' love story! Mama was a popular singer in Japan, and Papa was a therapist who specialized in helping LGBT+ people deal with their struggles to come out to their families, who loved my mother, but felt he could never be worthy of such a person's love!" Sakura said, surprising everyone. "Woah, that's deep." Aurachnid said.

"After finding the "peace" that he once lost, Amata yet again lost the "peace" again due to his parent's death! With rage and suffering boiling inside himself, Amata placed all the blame on Kagura, who unknown to Amata unintentionally killed Alicia and Izumo! Amata then flew off in Vector Z to search for his other self! Somewhere else, for reasons unexplained, the Solar Aquarion had broken into its three vectors and crashed-landed in different locations! Kagura woke up from being unconscious and was worried about "Sylvia's" well being! Then, He too flew off in Vector Sol, but is intervened by Amata! As Amata's vector flew closer to Kagura's vector, Kagura saw a "reaper" rising from Amata's vector! He then heard Amata's voice, asking if Kagura was saying that he was the reaper! Amata stated that the only reaper is Kagura! And then, from all of his anger, Amata's vector changes into the upper-torso of the Aquarion EVOL form and attacks Kagura's vector! Kagura questions why he can hear Amata's voice! Amata explained that it is because they were once one body and that was all the more reason he won't forgive him! When Kagura asked why, Amata answered back by saying that the former killed their father, Izumo! After that, Amata continued to pummel Kagura towards a cliff! Then, Kagura pulled himself out of the cliff and transformed Vector Sol into the upper-torso of Solar Aquarion! Then, as Amata and Kagura fought each other, Altair was suddenly pulled right into a dark red portal and appeared in the same dimension as Vega! At the same time, Aquarion Gepard was fighting Mixy's Abductor! After pinning that Abductor to a building, Andy used his hole generation power to open it and pulled Mixy out of there while he confessed his love for the latter, causing Mixy to mentally revert back to Mix while retaining her memories as woman! Though Mix's body was still that of a boy, Andy told her that he still loves her regardless of that! After he asked her if she wants to unite with him, Mix replied with a yes! However, before they could perform a union, they were teleported back to Neo-DEAVA HQ while Yunoha took their place in Vector X! Back with Amata and Kagura, as the two pilots fought each other, they had no idea that their fighting was actually causing Altair to go on a collision course towards Vega! As I saw this happening, I realized that this was Mikage's plan all along, to have the two planets collide and destroy each other, which would result in a new one to born with Mikage as its God! Then, Crea came and asked me if this is what I wanted, stating that everyone would die if this continues! However, I simply replied with a smile and left the academy in a gust of wind! Back on Altair, Mikono saw Amata and Kagura fighting each other and decided to go towards them in Vector Luna in order to stop their fighting! However, "Zessica" came next to her in Vector Mars and told her not to! That's when Mikono realized the she was speaking to not Zessica and asked who she was! After that, Mikage revealed himself by changing Zessica's green hair to white! Then, he told Mikono about his tragic backstory about how Apollonius betrayed him twice and also his plan to become a God and destroy all love! After that, he forced Mikono to merge her Vector with his against her will! Then, after interrupting the battle between Amata and Kagura, Mikage forced the Ianthe to draw all of Altair's planetary energy towards him to be absorbed! While that was happening, Malloy, Cayenne, and Yunoha located Amata! After that, Malloy asked Amata to take his place in the union! After complying, Amata merged with Cayenne in Vector Y and Yunoha in Vector X to form Aquarion EVOL, which then tried to stop Mikage, only to be electrocuted in a giant energy cube! After that, Mikage used his humming to force Kagura into unconscious and force Vector Sol to combine with him! This resulted in a evil dark variation called Ancient AQ, also known as Shadow Genesis Aquarion!" Zen explained as the events that he described were shown on the video! When the group saw the Ancient AQ, which looks like Solar Aquarion but with a black-and-purple color scheme, white tattoo-like markings and a more spiky demonic appearance, they were incredibly shocked! Even Lucy didn't like it! "That thing's terrifying! Coming from me, that's saying something!" Lucy said. "Yeah, no kidding!" Aya said.

"Ancient AQ?! What the heck is that supposed to mean?!" Aurachnid asked. "Judging by a few things, I'd say it's a play on "Aku", the Japanese word for evil!" Sakura answered. "Now that's a fitting name for a malevolent machine!" Lincoln said in agreement. "With the accursed Ancient AQ in the control of Mikage, Amata was to face a battle that has the fate of the world in his hands! Amata, with Yunoha and Cayenne, rode Aquarion EVOL and struck first with a Mugen Punch! Before the attack reached the Ancient AQ, it was stopped by a large palm, which stretched from the Ancient AQ's back! The pilots of the Aquarion EVOL wondered if this block was the Ancient AQ's version of the Mugen Punch! But they were a bit off on that, because it was, in fact, a stronger technique by the name of Infinite Palm of Buddha, where the hands of the Infinite Punch came first, followed by the construction of the rest of the arm! Defying the laws of cause & effect, the power was indeed closer to what was the power of a God! Four hands appeared, grasped each of the limbs of Aquarion EVOL, and then started to electrocute it! Meanwhile, Kagura woke up in a labyrinth of stairs! He looked around, only to see a glass-painting of Mikono upon one of the far walls! He went up stairs after stairs to reach the painting, but no matter how hard he tried, he never reached it! Soon enough, the stairs collapsed and he fell into the darkness, landing in a deserted land of the night! When he looked around this time, he saw a weeping Zessica ensnared in the teeth of a large carnivorous plant! Kagura asks where they were, and she answers that they were in the labyrinth of Mikage's mind! Saddened by the fact that the Union of Ancient AQ was hurting Amata, Zessica asked Kagura to kill her so that Mikage would lose control of the Aquarion due to losing his host! She believed this was what she deserved for being an idiot who could not think of stopping Ancient AQ! She knew that Amata would be happy with Mikono only, and she did not want him to suffer by losing Mikono! As Kagura started to choke Zessica, the electrocution of the Aquarion EVOL seized due to the weakening of Zessica's soul, which also interfered with Mikage's influence over her body! But, Kagura stopped choking her, telling her that she doesn't deserve to die for the sake of Amata! Upset by the disruption of his plan, Mikage ejected both Kagura and Zessica out of Ancient AQ, believing that only he and Mikono were the necessary Elements! Then, Mikage used the Ancient AQ to turn it into a dark sun that not only accelerated the course of collision between the two planets but also forced Aquarion EVOL to disassemble back into it's Vector components! This also caused Cayenne and Yunoha to be teleported back to base! Not only that, but the heat of Mikage's dark sun caused all the water on Vega to rapidly evaporate and the water level to drop as a result of that! As this was happening, Andy and Mix teleported to Vector X and Vector Y respectively in order to aid Amata! Then, all of a sudden, piano music started play as Shrade's Vector Y appeared out of a portal, with Shrade's spirit inside of it! After detecting the Vector X that was abandoned by Zessica, Crea ordered Cayenne to pilot Shrade's Vector Y and Yunoha to pilot that Vector x while she herself piloted the extra Vector Z in Malloy's place! While that was happening, Shrade's music freed Mikono from her bonds! Then, at the battlefield, Amata, Andy, and Mix formed Aquarion EVOL while Cayenne, Shrade's spirit, Yunoha, and Crea formed a hybrid combination called Aquarion Geparda! While the two Aquarions fought Ancient AQ's Infinite Palms, Shrade's spirit left while entrusting things Cayenne, who then performed the Trinity Requiem attack with Yunoha and Crea to destroy the Palms! Then, Aquarion EVOL tried to get close to Ancient AQ, which then used it's Infinite Palms to pull Altair and Vega closer while draining the energy of both planets and grow planet-sized! Within Mikage's mind Mikono saw the spirits of Apollo, Sirius, and Toma! Upon remembering her past life as Silvia, Mikono apologized to them, though they forgave her! Then she saw Mikage and was frightened! Then I appeared to Mikono and told her that Mikage was actually the shadow of Toma's heart, which he discarded in his quest for love! Before I left her, I told Mikono to overcome her fear and see the truth! Meanwhile, Mikage used Ancient AQ to create a palm blast so powerful, that it forced both Aquarion EVOL and Aquarion Geparda to disassemble! While the components of Aquarion Geparda made it safely back to Vega, Andy and Mix were forcibly teleported back to base! As if all hope seemed lost, Kagura and Zessica joined forces and piloted the empty Vector X and Vector Y to combine with Amata's Vector Z to reform Aquarion EVOL! Within Mikage's mind, Mikono discovered that, in spite of his hatred, Mikage still loves Apollonius! Then, she appeared before Mikage and apologized to him for all the pain she caused! She then begged him to save both worlds, though, unfortunately, Mikage refused! Then, Amata, Kagura, and Zessica attempted to rescue Mikono by unlocking a new ability in Aquarion EVOL, the Trinity Punch! Unfortunately, while the destroyed the Ancient AQ's left arm, it wasn't enough as then the evil machine fired lasers from both of its shoulders in order to stop Aquarion EVOL in its tracks! However, Amata refused to give up, as he then kept pushing forward! This infuriated Mikage, who then used a bright flash of light from Ancient AQ's wings to undo Aquarion EVOL's fusion! Back on Vega, Yunoha tried to get up in order to help Amata! Then, all of a sudden, her frog came to life, revealing that it was possessed by the spirit of Jin, who immediately helped Yunoha with the controls! After that, Yunoha and Jin combined with Crea and Cayenne to form Aquarion Gepard in its four-legged configuration in order to fire its railgun and block Ancient AQ's light! Then, after the encouragement of his friends and loved ones in spirit, Amata woke up and used Aquarion EVOL's upper half to charge towards Ancient AQ! And then Kagura used his powers to give Amata a boost! After that, Amata had Vector Z forcefully enter and combine with Ancient AQ in order to form Aquarion LOVE, driving Mikage out at the same time! Then, after Amata and Mikono declared love towards each other, Aquarion LOVE shed a rain of tears that replenished Vega's waters while also connecting the two planets! Meanwhile, in space, Mikage was desperate to find a body! He then found me on a floating meteor and tried to possess me! However, upon entering me, Mikage was unable to do so because he realized my identity as Apollonius's reincarnation! Then, after I told him that I'll accept him into my body and to sleep within me, Mikage finally laid dormant and let go of his hatred, ending his threat for good! Back on Vega, the students and staff were helping with the restoration of Holy Angel Academy! Plus, Mix was able change back into a woman after some time! Then, when Zessica and Kagura watched the sunset on the ocean, Shushu flew towards them! Then, they saw Aquarion EVOL slowly walk towards them with Apollo and Mikono appearing from its head! Then, after all of the students came to greet the young couple with joy, I had declared the ban on romance lifted!" Zen explained as the events that he described were shown on the video. The group were very happy that Mikage was defeated for good! They were especially happy that the ban on romance was lifted. "Awwww!" Sakura said, before kissing Lincoln on the lips.

"There was another incident that took place about a month later, though thankfully it was quickly averted! Basically, it it involved a cross-time dimensional crisis that was caused by the accidental ripping of the Book of Holy Genesis, a very special book that contains the scriptures of the history of the conflict between humans and Shadow Angels, in what you would call modern-day Japan by the future reincarnations of Jin Muso and Yunoha Thrul, named Shin Tsukishima and Yuno Kawasu! Plus, it also caused Solar Aquarion to be transported from the past and clash with Aquarion EVOL! Then, after some misunderstandings were resolved, it took the combined might of both Aquarions as well as Shin and Yuno to repair the metaphysical damage done to the Book and restore the tear space and time, using a cross-combined form that resembled Solar Aquarion and another cross-combined form that takes on the appearance of a frog! Thankfully, it also brought Solar Aquarion and its pilots back to their time while Aquarion EVOL and its pilots safely returned home!" Zen explained further as the events he described were shown on the video. When the frog-shaped Aquarion form appeared, Lana was quite impressed. "Cool!" She said. (End Of Spoilers) "And that brings me to why these new Vectors are in your world." Zen said. "Finally!" Aurachnid said.

"After that incident, Crea and I took a look in the Book of the Twin Stars, the updated version of the Book of Holy Genesis, and found out something about the Tree of Life that we haven't discovered before: In the event that it could not be pollinated by Solar Aquarion, The Tree of Life would self-pollinate and produce a single Genesis Fruit while dying in the process! We searched for it on Altair, but it wasn't there! That's when we realized it was somewhere in a different universe! After building a device that can look into different dimensions and universes, we had it track down the Genesis Fruit by scanning for an energy signature that's similar to the Tree of Life! After a while, it found that signature in your dimension! Specifically, in the castle of the Animarius Empire! That's when we realized that the Tree of Life in your dimension is the very offspring of the one from our dimension!" Zen explained, much to the shock and surprise of the whole group, including Master Toadus and Gorf, who were both watching the video from their hideout. "This is something even I had no knowledge about." Toadus said. "When we realized another piece of the Tree of Life was in another dimension, we decided to do a little more research on it, and came across these news articles." Zen explained as news articles of the riders' exploits appeared on screen.

"We did some further research and we saw you Kamen Riders battling the Animarius Empire with love, friendship, justice, and teamwork skills that were in synchronicity with each other and that reminded us of the Elements and how they used their powers in Aquarion! So, with that in mind, we and the rest of Neo-DEAVA worked hard to design and build these new Vectors made especially for you three!" Zen explained as the video showed footage of the various battles between the Kamen Riders and the Animarius Empire. "They probably could have worked a little better on their transportation system, these things were pretty beat up when they first came here." Lana said. "So as an act of goodwill, we of Neo-DEAVA give you, the Kamen Riders use of our pride and joy, these brand new Vectors, and the power of Aquarion!" Zen said. "Before we end this video, I would like to let you all know that we left some instructions on how to combine your Vectors into the three different forms of the new Aquarion via your aura! There's also some blueprints on how to make more Vectors that can be combined with the three Vectors you already have, in case the already established forms aren't enough to defeat your enemies!" Zen explained as the video showed the locations of the instructions and blueprints hidden in the Vector that looks like the Nadesico and the Vector that looks Battle Spider Shadow's third form, respectively.

Meanwhile, back at the Empire's castle. "I'm glad the three of you were able keep the Kamen Riders busy long enough for Cicadeath and Flygor to gather all of those Nuclear materials out of the power plant!" King Draco said as he congratulated Manticron, Bicornelius, and Chichevala for a job well done! "I still say building this was a mistake, your majesty! I trashed those plans to keep the playing field level!" Aquilis said, not knowing the riders were currently studying the works of the Vectors and trying to figure out how they could use them against the empire. "What do these things do again?" Clyde asked from within his Vector, the one that looks like Shadow, while holding a pair of grips that he found in his cockpit. "They're supposed to be the joysticks that help you control the Vector like a jet fighter would!" Lisa answered as she and Lana took a good look at the instructions they found in the Nadesico-shaped Vector. while that was happening, Master Toadus and Gorf entered the base through a hidden passage. "They also act as a control system for when in Aquarion, what they do depends on what Vector forms what part." She explained.

"Oh! Thanks Lis!" Said Clyde. "You're Welcome!" Said Lisa. Then, Sakura noticed Master Toadus and Gorf have already entered the base. "Toadus-san! Gorf-san! Thank goodness, you're all here! I've believe that you both have already heard everything that's been happening in the base?" Sakura asked. "We have. We just needed to come here and see these 'Vectors' for ourselves." Toadus said. "Based on what I'm reading here, it seems that each formation of this 'Aquarion' has it's own strengths. The formation with the Galaga ship as it's head is strong with physical attacks, the Nadeisico head is strong with mid to long range attacks, and the one with the Shadow head is strong with speed and defense." Lisa said. "That's interesting to know, Lisa-chan!" Sakura said. "By the way, Master Toadus, do you have any information on these three Animarius warriors we fought who are named Manticron, Bicornelius, and Chichevala, or as they like to call themselves, the Human Eaters?!" Lincoln asked, much to the shock of Master Toadus and Gorf, who both gasped upon hearing that team name. "Unfortunately, yes." Toadus said.

"Those three started eating humans when they got lost in the Suicide Forest and were starving from the lack of food there! When they saw a group of humans traveling together, they saw them as food! As soon as the three killed the humans, they cooked them over a campfire and then ate them all! *SHUDDER!* Manticron even went as far as eating the humans' clothing and accessories! That's when the three developed an appetite for human flesh! For Bicornelius, he prefers faithful husbands, resulting him becoming fat due to the plentiful amount of such humans! For Chichevala, she prefers obedient wives, though due to the rarity of such humans, she would become bone-thin if doesn't find any! And for Manticron, he pretty much eats humans of all races, genders, and ages, whether they are married or unmarried! *SHUDDER!* What's even worse is those three are among the strongest of King Draco's Royal Guard! Not as strong as Cerberion, but still plenty strong enough!" Toadus explained with a shudder.

"Yeah, I kind of got that when Chichevala stopped my rider kick with hardly any effort." Sakura noted. "By the way, do you have any explanation as to why I was able to temporarily blind her with a bright flash of light that seems to have come from my chest?" Sakura asked. "Naturia did once tell us about a rare ability some Nature Fairies have called the Hato no Hikari." Gorf said. "Light of the heart?" Sakura translated. "What does that power do, exactly?" Lincoln asked Toadus. "As the name suggests, the Hato no Hikari allows whoever possesses it the ability to manipulate light. Only a select few Nature Fairies possess it, as shown via a special mark above their hearts, but of those, only 5% have ever been able to utilize it's full potential. Naturia was one of them." Gorf said. "A special mark, you say?" Sakura asked. "Yes." Toadus said. "Why do you ask?" Lincoln asked. "Just above my left breast is a birthmark in the shape of the Kanji for light, It's an inherited trait. All the women in my father's side of the family have it, even O bachan." Sakura said. "I'm going to have to take your word for that one." Lincoln said, shuddering at the idea.

"Oh yeah! Master Toadus, when fought Manticron, he was able to reattach his tail after I chopped it off with my katana as well as heal from his injuries! Do you have any explanation about that?" Lincoln asked. "Oh, that's right! I forgot to tell you! Manticron volunteered in an early experiment made by General Aquilis called Regeneration Nanites!" Master Toadus answered. "Regeneration Nanites?" Asked Lincoln. "Microscopic robots that, in theory, can perform surgeries many doctors call impossible! Everything from reattaching severed limbs, to safely destroying cancerous cells. So far, it's nothing more than science fiction, but I've actually been working on it in hopes of a Nobel Prize!" Lisa explained.

"Whoa! I had no idea you were making nanites of your own! Also, that does make sense! Thanks for the explanation, Lis!" Said Lincoln. "No problem, brother unit!" Said Lisa. "Anyway, Manticron injected himself with the Nanites as soon as they were created in order to give himself the ability to heal from any wound, including severed limbs!" Master Toadus explained. "You know, this makes me wonder! Why would General Aquilis not use these Regeneration Nanites on all of the soldiers if it's beneficial to Manticron?" Lisa asked. "Aquilis has never liked projects that gave the Empire an 'unfair advantage' over their foes, stuff like those nanites would fall under that category. When she realized just what the nanites were capable of, she destroyed every one that weren't injected into Manticron." Toadus explained. "But didn't she create the driver as a power amplifier for such a purpose?" Sakura asked.

"Now that you have mentioned it, the power amplifier was used to enhance the strength of a Lizardon!" Gorf said. "While I don't know her motivations for such a project, I knew I couldn't let such a powerful device be in their hands, which is why we risked our lives to steal it." Toadus said, touching the eye Tytus had blinded before they escaped with the driver. "Good thing you did, Master Toadus! Otherwise, things would turn for the worst!" Said Lincoln in agreement. Meanwhile, at Lynn's Table, Rita Loud, Harold and Howard McBride, Mrs. Hoseki, and Mr. and Mrs. Kadogawa (Shintomaru's parents) were having a dinner meeting to talk about their kids while Lynn Loud Sr. provides them with their meals. "It's so good to see you again, Hikari-san!" Mrs. Kadogawa told Mrs. Hoseki. "When Shintomaru told us that he saw Sakura-chan at their school, I was thrilled!" She said. "Though, he also told us about what happened to her parents and Kenta!" Said Mr. Kadogawa in condolence. "Yes, to say Sakura-chan was devastated by what happened would be an understatement." Mrs. Hoseki said. "But, the new friends she has made here have helped her with those emotions. Especially her boyfriend, Lincoln-kun." She said.

"Yeah, Shintomaru told us about that, too! Though, we were kind of disappointed that Sakura was already taken, especially considering that Shintomaru had a crush on her!" Said Mrs. Kadogawa. "Yeah, Sakura-chan told me he said that." Mrs. Hoseki said. "But tell me, what's this Lincoln boy like that's made Sakura like him more than our Shintomaru?" Mr. Kadogawa asked. "Not that we have a problem with that!" Mrs. Kadogawa said defensively. "I'm quite interested in that too, since Lincoln is my son, after all!" Rita replied. "Don't forget mine!" Lynn Sr. said, accidentally slipping on some soap, causing him to crash down. "I'm okay!" He assured them. "Well apparently, Lincoln-kun has been very kind to Sakura-chan and he's rather supportive of her when she told him about her family's death!" Mrs. Hoseki explained.

"She also admires how brave he is." Mrs. Hoseki said. "Hehehe! Well, I'm glad my son finally got a girlfriend! I kind of reminds of how Rita and I first met and became a couple!" Said Lynn Sr. as felt proud of his son getting a girlfriend. "I was a crossing guard and he and I saw each other while I was on the job in front of the elementary school." Rita remembered fondly. "I fell in love with him, due to him singing with his sweet British accent that he picked up from his semester in England! But I was too afraid to speak to him because I thought he was out of my league! So, I started slipping notes in his pocket as he passed by! By my third note, I got up the nerve to ask him to meet me at the British-themed resturant called Banger's & Mosh! My boldness paid off because now, here we are, happily married with 11 kids of our own!" Rita explained. Then Lynn Sr. spoke in a British accent "Best day of my life, love!", causing Rita to swoon and giggle after hearing that accent. Then Lynn Sr. kissed Rita on the cheek. Then Mr. Kadogawa asked in surprise "Wait a minute, you have 11 kids?! Were you two breeding like rabbits or something?!" Unbeknownst to anyone, the Human Eaters were on the prowl, Manticron sniffing the air. "Do you guys smell what I smell?" He asked his companions.

"Yes we do! We smell humans! From what I smell, they're in that restaurant over there!" Said Bicornelius as he pointed at Lynn's Table. "Good thing we're wearing our disguises, otherwise would be much more difficult to catch our prey!" Said Chichevala as we see that the Human Eaters are wearing grey trench coats with matching pants and fedoras. "Plus, Cicadeath and Flygor made for us these devices that prevent our signatures from being detected by the Kamen Riders so they won't mess with our mealtime!" Said Bicornelius as he opened his trench coat to reveal a device on his chest that resembles the one General Aquilis gave to Cicadeath before he kidnapped Luna. "Well then, let's eat!" Said Manticron as Bicornelius and Chichevala said "Right!" in agreement. Then, the trio entered the restaurant to be greeted by Lynn Sr., who then said "Welcome to Lynn's Kitchen! I'm the owner of this restaurant, Lynn Loud Sr.! Do you three know what would like this afternoon?" while being easily fooled the Human Eaters' disguises. "Yes, I'd like your heart, Roasted on a Spit!" Answered Manticron as he laughed malevolently and removed his disguise. Then, Bicornelius and Chichevala removed their disguises as well. This sight frightened everyone present, especially Lynn Sr.

Everyone screamed in terror. "Yes! Scream! And don't bother hoping your precious Kamen Riders will come! We're wearing devices that block the signals of their scanners!" Bicornelius said. Fortunately, Mrs. Hoseki pulled out her phone and quickly sent a message to her granddaughter, Meanwhile, back at the base, Sakura just heard her smartphone's text notification. She checked her phone to see a message from Mrs. Hoseki. "Oh, it's from O bachan!" She said, happy to see a text from her grandmother, only for her mood to change once she read the text. 'Animarius soldiers wearing signal blockers attacking Lynn's Table! Lincoln-kun, Clyde-kun, and Shin-kun's parents are here along with myself!' It read. "Uh oh! Lincoln-kun! Clyde-kun!" She said, rushing over to her boyfriend and friend. "What is it, Sakura?" Lincoln asked in concern.

"O bachan says there are Animarius soldiers wearing signal blockers attacking Lynn's Table! One guess who they are." Sakura said. "*GASP!* The Human Eaters!" Lincoln and Clyde shouted in realization. "And what's worse, O bachan and both of your parents are there! Along with Shin-kun's parents!" Sakura said further. "Wait, WHAT?!" Shintomaru shouted as Sakura mentioned his parents being at very restaurant that the Human Eaters are attacking. "Are you saying that my parents are under attack by the Human Eaters?" Shintomaru asked. "I'm afraid so, Shin-kun!" Sakura answered. "GRRRR! If those monsters ever eat my parents, I'll swear to them, a, VENDETTA!" Shintomaru angrily shouted as he raised his right fist in the air, much to the shock and surprise of everyone present. "What does vendetta mean?" Leni asked. "You know how I'm determined to make Cerberion pay for what he did to my family?" Sakura asked, to which Leni nodded. "It's like that." She explained. "Well, I guess now is as good a time as any to try these out!" Aurachnid said, pointing to the Vectors. "And for future reference, I was able to include the same software that allows your dirt bikes to shrink and clip onto your belts in their onboard computers." Lisa revealed as she and Lana hopped out of the Vector that was decided to be Sakura's.

"Allow me to come along, because my parents are there and I'm NOT taking "No" for an answer!" Shintomaru said in determination. "Fine. But just to be safe, I'm going to need you to wear this." Lincoln said, pushing a button, causing Clyde's old aide outfit to pop out of the ground. "My old aide outfit?" Clyde asked. "You may not need it anymore, since you're a rider now, but I figured I'd keep it, just in case." Lincoln said. "Okay, Thanks! But you do realize I'm going to have to tell my parents about this once I get them to safety, because this is too dangerous a situation to keep secrets from them! Especially since Sakura already told me about her family's history and I've already told them about that!" Shintomaru said as he put the aide outfit on.

"Fine, but for everyone else's safety, it'd be best if you wore that outfit whenever you find yourself involved with the riders." Lincoln instructed as he and Sakura put on their drivers while Clyde allowed Aurachnid to bite his wrist, summoning his driver.

0-0-0-1, Let's Go!
Ruby! Sapphire! Topaz! Emerald!
Spider On!

"Henshin!" The three riders shouted, donning their suits. "So, how are we supposed to get these Vectors out of here?" Aurachnid asked. "That's a good question." Sakura noted. "Yeah! I don't think the tunnels are big enough for them to fit through!" Lincoln noted. "Fret not. When I included a software that allows them to shrink to a size that would allow them to fit onto your belts, I also included a software that would allow them to shrink enough to fit through the tunnels." Lisa said. "Does that include us? Because that would make me feel like Ant-Man and his shrinking abilities!" Lincoln said in worry. "Don't worry, it won't affect you much." Lisa said. "Okay! If you say so, Lis!" Said Lincoln as he entered his Vector while Sakura and Clyde got into their respective Vectors. Shintomaru climbed in after Sakura. Chloe then climbed in after Clyde, much to his surprise. "Chloe?" Clyde said in surprise. "What are you doing here?" Aurachnid asked as Chloe zipped up a spare aide outfit she found.

"I figured you might need some extra help to get the civilians out of harms way! Plus, I want to be with you more often, Clyde!" Said Chloe as she then winked at Clyde in a romantic manner. Clyde blushed under his helmet as Aurachnid chuckled. "All right, if everybody's ready." Lincoln said, pushing a few buttons on his control console, causing his Vector to go upright. "Vector LL, launch!" He shouted, as the rockets on the back ignited, causing the Galaga inspired jet to fly up, shrinking just enough to fit in the tunnels. "Vector Jewel, launch!" Sakura said as her Vector did the same. "Vector Anansi, launch!" Clyde said, following his friends. Then, all three Vectors are seen flying out of tunnel. Meanwhile, at Lynn's Table, the Human Eaters were currently debating on who gets to eat whom. "I call dibs on the gay couple! I can tell that they're both faithful towards each other!" Said Bicornelius as he licked his lips with his tongue. "I'll eat the old woman! I can tell she was an obedient wife to her husband, wherever he is!" Chichevala said with eagerness.

"Calm down, my friends, you'll get your chance to eat whoever you want!" Manticron said, licking his chops, only for something to hit him in the back. The three turned to see Lincoln, Sakura, Clyde, Shintomaru, and Chloe in the doorway. Lincoln was holding his Gatling gun, and Sakura was in her Hurricane mode, holding her crossbow. "Sorry, but dinner service is over!" Lincoln said. "WHAT?! THE KAMEN RIDERS?! HOW DID Y'ALL EVEN FIND US, ESPECIALLY WHEN WE'RE WEARING DEVICES TO PREVENT Y'ALL FROM TRACKING OUR SIGNATURES?!" Manticron yelled in annoyance to being found out. "We have our ways!" Sakura said, firing a crossbow bolt at Manticron's feet. The arrow hit Manticron's foot, causing to roar in pain and anger "*ROAR!* NOW YOU'VE GONE AND DONE IT! THIS MEANS WAR!". He then pulled the arrow out of foot, which then quickly healed itself quickly due to the nanites in his body. "I've got Manticron! Jewel, you take Chichivela, Anansi, Bicornelius. You two, free the hostages!" Lincoln ordered.

"Right!" Said Sakura and Clyde as they went to their respective opponents. "Will do, LL!" Said Shintomaru and Chloe as they went to the hostages, who are all tied up together on a large dinner table.

6-7-8-9, Shinobi!

"Rider Ninpo! Henshin Mist!" Lincoln called out, entering his super form and unsheathing his katana. "Now, where were we?" He asked Manticron. "Yeah, I remember! But, in case you haven't realized, I've got these advanced healing powers, thanks to those Regeneration Nanites that General Aquilis made a very long time ago!" Manticron said as took on a battle stance. "Yeah, Master Toadus told me about how you got them!" Lincoln said, much to Manticron's surprise. "Toadus? That traitor!" Manticron angrily said. "And not just him, but Gorf too!" Lincoln said further. "So that's why neither of them were at the castle!" Manticron angrily said. "Let me guess, King Draco never informed you and your friends about Master Toadus and Gorf defecting from the Empire, didn't he?" Asked Lincoln. "No! But now that I know, I know where I'm heading after I'm done here! But for now!" Manticron said, thrusting his scorpion stinger at Lincoln who pulled off the straw dummy trick again. Meanwhile, with Shintomaru and Chloe. "Don't worry, everyone! We'll get you out of here!" Said Chloe as she and Shintomaru untied the ropes from the hostages.

Bicornelius noticed this. "Hey! The food is trying to escape!" He said, charching in, only for Clyde, armed with the calabasher in knobkerrie mode jumping in front of him with the aide of his spider legs. "You're going to have to get through me, first!" He said. "Oh yeah?! What are you gonna do? Hit me on the head again? You know very well that won't work on me!" Bicornelius taunted. "Nope! I've got a better idea!" Said Clyde as he then swung the Calabasher and struck Bicornelius in the crotch *TWACK!*. This caused Bicornelius to reel in pain and cover his crotch while shouting "OOOOOOHHHH! MY TENDERLOINS!" Clyde then let Aurachnid onto his hand. "Quick! While he's distracted, get on him and when you get in the right position, bite him!" He instructed the magic spider.

"You got it, partner!" Said Aurachnid as he gets ready. Then, after Clyde threw him like a baseball, Aurachnid shouted "~TA DA DA DA DA DA!~ SPIDER POWER!" right before he landed on Bicornelius's left shoulder. Noticing the unwelcome visitor, Bicornelius tried to squish him just before he could sink his magic venom filled fangs into the Bicorn Animarius' skin. "Uh, oh!" He said, scattering away before either could do what they want to do. "Find a place he can't reach!" Clyde said. "Found it!" Said Aurachnid as he stopped and bit Bicornelius in the middle of his back. "YEOWCH!" shouted Bicornelius as he jumped up in pain.

"That's your plan?" Bicornelius asked as he started swelling in random places. "Have your pet spider bite me?" He asked, although he was starting to slur his speech. "Oh, he did more than that. You see, Aurachnid's venom is special. If injected into the bloodstream of someone from my bloodline, it gives us the ability to transform into what you're seeing now. But if injected into the bloodstream of someone not a part of my bloodline..." Clyde said, pointing to Bicornelius' extremely swollen arms and legs. "THEY'LL PUFF UP AND EXPLODE TO DEATH!" Aurachnid finished, much to Bicornelius's horror. As Aurachnid said that, Bicornelius did just that, reverting to his soul core. "MY LOVE!" Chichivela said in horror as Clyde picked up the fallen beast's soul core. "LL! Think fast!" He said, tossing the core to Lincoln, who was able to use Shinobi mode's enhanced speed to catch and seal the soul core with ease.

"YOU LITTLE PESTS! HOW DARE YOU DESTROY MY BOYFRIEND?!" Chichevala shouted in fury. "Wait a minute! That guy was your boyfriend?!" asked Clyde. Even Sakura was surprised after hearing that. "Wow, you have low standards. At least my boyfriend is sweet, brave, kind, and way more handsome than he was!" Sakura said, causing Lincoln to blush under his helmet and chuckle at Sakura's compliments. "HEY! WE SHARED A LOT MORE IN COMMON THAN YOU ALL THINK! We both fell in love after eating a married couple consisting of a faithful husband and an obedient wife! Since then, we became a couple ourselves! We even planned on having children together after we help King Draco conquer the world!" Chichevala angrily shouted. "And he doesn't seem very handsome to me!" She added pointing to Clyde. "I'm afraid you got the wrong guy here! I'm not Jewel's boyfriend, LL is!" Clyde said as he pointed at Lincoln to correct Chichevala's mistake. "Still not seeing what you're talking about." Chichevala said. "Hey!" Lincoln said, blocking Manticron's stinger with his sword.

"Well, since I'm famished, I'll just eat one of the women here!" Chichevala said as she then rushed over past the Kamen Riders and grabbed Mrs. Hoseki, much to Sakura's anger. "Let Go of my O bachan, You Monster!" Sakura shouted in anger. "Wait a minute, this old woman is your grandmother? Well, this is interesting!" Said Chichevala as she grinned maliciously. Sakura started getting angry. "If you think I'm going to let you eat my only living family member left, after already losing my parents and brother to your evil, YOU'VE GOT ANOTHER THINK COMING!" She angrily said, plucking the Sapphire of Water off her left glove and placing it in her driver.

Sapphire!

After transforming into her Ocean Mode, Sakura then used her trident to spray a torrent of water at Chichevala, causing the Chichevache Animarius to let go of Mrs. Hoseki, who immediately ran off. "Ooh! Fine then! If I can't eat her, I'll make do with someone else!" Chichevala said as she then dashed forwards and grabbed Mrs. Kadogawa, much to the latter's fright. "Oh, don't worry, it'll be over sooner than you think!" Said Chichevala as she then opened her mouth very wide in preparation to gulp Mrs. Kadogawa. "AAAAAAAAHH! HELP, SHE'S GOING TO EAT ME!" Mrs. Kadogawa shouted in terror. When Shintomaru saw this, he gotten very mad. "That's, My, Mother!" He shouted as then angrily stomped towards Chichevache and took off his helmet. Then, Shintomaru shouted "Get your stinking mitts off my mother, you darn dirty monster! GET EM OFF!" right before punching her hard in the udder. "OW! MY UDDER!" Chichevala shouted as she then let go of Mrs. Kadogawa and reeled in pain. Then, after Mrs. Kadogawa ran away to safety, Shintomaru rushed forwards and punched Chichevala multiple times in the face, causing her to land on her back. Then, Shintomaru grabbed Chichevala by the tail and swung her around with great effort. "HOW IS THIS KID SO FREAKISHLY STRONG?!" Chichevala loudly asked right before Shintomaru launches her towards a wall, causing her to crash right into it *CRASH!*

"Nice one, Shin-kun! Now let me finish this! Maximum Blizzard!" Sakura shouted, aiming her trident at the human/bovine monstrosity. "Ohhhhh! That really hurt!" Said Chichevala as she got up while clutching her head in pain. Then she noticed Sakura aiming her trident at her. Sakura then unleashed a gale force blast of freezing wind at Chichevala, freezing her solid. "Th-th-th-that's C-c-c-cold!" Shouted Chichevala as she shivered inside her icy prison."Oh, don't worry." Sakura said, taking out the Sapphire of Water and replacing it with the Topaz of Earth. "You're about to be put out of your misery!" She said.

Topaz!

After transforming into her Earth Mode, Sakura then shouted "RIDER SEISMIC SMASH!" as she jumped up in the air and slammed her hammer down hard on Chichevala, causing the latter to explode and revert back to a Soul Core with the image of a Chichevala (a woman-faced cow). *Shudder* "And I thought she was ugly before." Sakura said, tossing the core to Lincoln who quickly sealed it. Unbeknownst to her, in the Animarius Castle, Cerberion was watching the battle with an ultra creepy smile on his face. "Well, well, well! Looks like she's getting stronger!" Said Cerberion as grinned maliciously. Then, Cicadeath and Flygor came by and noticed the fight taking place. "Hey, what's going on here?! We gave the Human Eaters those Signal Blockers to prevent the Kamen Riders from tracking them down! How have they been tracked down?!" Cicadeath asked in anger and confusion.

"If I had to guess, you idiots forgot to take into account modern communications!" Cerberion muttered before turning to Sakura, who along with Clyde, had joined Lincoln and was currently surrounding Manticron. "Soon, my little prey." He said. "D'OH! He's right! One of those humans must called the Kamen Riders on their own communication devices!" Cicadeath said as he did a facepalm after realizing what happened. "We'd better tell King Draco about this and ask him for permission to use the Enlargement Raygun on Manticron!" Said Flygor. "You're right, Flygor! Let's go to the throne room!" Said Cicadeath as he and Flygor flew off to the throne room. Meanwhile on the battlefield. "You're all that's left, Manticron!" Lincoln said. "Bring It on, riders!" Manticron said, trying to strike Sakura with his stinger. Sakura dodged out the way while saying "Whoa! That tail reminds me of a scorpion!". When Aurachnid heard that, he asked Sakura "Wait a minute, did you just say "scorpion"?" in worry. "Yeah, why?" Sakura asked. "Let's just say, back in Kwaku Anansi's temple, my fellow spiders and I have had a really bad history with the scorpions that lived in the area! I don't want to talk about it." Aurachnid said with a shudder.

"Apparently, even though they're both arachnids, spiders and scorpions never really get along! In fact, scorpions would often eat spiders whenever they get the chance!" Said Lisa, through the microphone, after hearing everything that Aurachnid just said. "The things I've seen." Aurachnid said as Clyde blocked one of Manticron's stinger lashes with the Calabasher, when a beeping sound rang the air. "Oh, hold on!" Manticron said, pulling out a communication device. "What!?" He angrily asked Cicadeath who popped up. "Step outside the building! We've got something special planned!" He ordered. "Okay, but it better be good!" Said Manticron, who hung up and went outside the building. Curious, the riders followed Manticron. When they all went outside, Manticron called Cicadeath again. "Well? Where is it?" He asked. "Actually, do you think you could move a bit to your left?" Cicadeath asked. Then Manticron moved the left like Cicadeath asked. "Okay, is that better?!" Asked Manticron. "Perfect! Now I can use the Enlargement Raygun on you!" Said Cicadeath. "Oh, wait, actually you're still not in the right position. I meant your other left." Cicadeath said as Flygor whispered something in his ear.

Then, with an annoyed growl, Manticron moved to the right. "Now can you use it on me!" He shouted. "Yes, Now I can!" Shouted Cicadeath as he fired the Enlargement Raygun on Manticron. When the rays hit Manticron, he felt a power boost as he started to grow gigantic while shouting "YEEEEEEEE-HAAAAWWW!" in excitement. After he finished growing, Manticron was now 65-feet tall and very pleased with the results. "Woah!" Lincoln said. "We really need a better way of triangulating this thing when we fire it." Flygor said. "Agreed." Cicadeath said. "What do you think riders?!" The three heard someone say and turned to see King Draco atop the restaurant. "Draco!" Lincoln and Sakura said upon recognizing the monarch.

"That's KING Draco to you!" Said King Draco. "As for why I'm here, I had Cicadeath and Flygor here use the Enlargement Raygun to turn Manticron into a 65-foot tall giant! Something that can easily turn the tables on you Kamen Riders!" He added as Cicadeath and Flygor joined him on top of the restaurant with the aforementioned raygun. "Aquilis may not have been willing to use this thing, but I think the results speak for themselves, my liege!" Kabuto said. "Well you're not the only ones with new toys, Draco!" Lincoln said, turning to his girlfriend and best friend. "Lincoln-kun, are you suggesting?" Sakura asked. "But we haven't even tested it yet!" Clyde pointed out.

"I know, but I believe this is the only way to fight Manticron on his current level!" Said Lincoln as he pulled out his miniaturized Vector from the pocket of his belt. "You're right." Sakura said, doing the same with her own. "Yeah, let's do this!" Clyde said doing the same. "Vectors, launch!" They said together, releasing the three Vectors from their hands. The moment they left their hands, they started growing back to their normal sizes before beaming the riders up into the cockpits. "Vector LL, ready!" Lincoln called out as the dome around him turned into a see through cockpit. "Vector Jewel, ready!" Sakura said. "Vector Anansi, ready!" Clyde said.

The very sight of the Vectors made King Draco, General Kabuto, Cicadeath, and Flygor very shocked to say the least. "WHAT THE FLAGNAR?! SINCE WHEN DO THOSE KAMEN RIDERS HAVE THOSE THINGS?!" General Kabuto asked loudly in confusion. "Clearly, they don't look like anything ever built on Earth!" Cicadeath loudly noted. As the three jets circled Manticron, he went all King Kong on them, trying to smack them out of the air. "I don't know what the hell these things are or where they came from, but it doesn't matter!" He said. "Oh, yeah? Let's see how you deal with this!" Sakura said, pushing a pair of buttons on her controls, causing her Vector to unleash a barrage of lasers. "Good idea, Sakura!" Clyde said, pushing the same buttons on his controls, allowing his Vector to release a pair of missiles at Manticron.

"Might as well do the same! Rockets Away!" Said Lincoln as he pressed some buttons on his control, allowing his Vector to launch miniature explosive rockets from its wings. When all of those attacks hit Manticron, he staggered back a little before regain his composer. Then, after his injuries were healed, Manticron grinned wickedly and shouted "My Turn!" as he then breathed out a stream of fire from his mouth, much to the surprise of the Kamen Riders. "HOLY KAIJU! Since when do Manticores breath fire?!" Lincoln shouted as he dodged the flames. "I think it might be a good idea to try out the big guns on this!" Sakura said through the Vectors' communications feature. "I'm inclined to agree with her!" Clyde said. "Then let's do it!" Lincoln said as the three started piloting their Vectors in a triangular formation, Vector LL at the head, and Vectors Jewel and Anansi in the back, Anansi to the left of LL, Jewel to the right. "Let's do this! Nenshin!" Clyde said. "Gattai!" Sakura shouted. "Go, Aquarion!" Lincoln called out.

(Cue "Sousei no Aquarion" by AKINO)

Then, the three Vectors shot up into the sky in a triangular formation. Afterwards, the Vectors started to transform, starting with Vector LL, in which its front part split open in halves while wings went and folded upwards to allow the split halves to connect underneath them, and then its tail fin split open and went towards the back. For Vector Jewel, its part containing the cockpit tilted back as its two front hull sections opened and straightened outwards on its sides. And for Vector Anansi, its front spider leg-like parts split away from each other, moved downwards, and extended to form legs while the spider leg-like structures on its sides twisted and folded down to form side armor as its spider abdomen-like rear turned around and then folded over, while the entire Vector turned backwards. As it was happening, the Kamen Riders and Aurachnid felt a powerful energy surging through their bodies. "WHOA! WHAT IS THIS THAT I'M FEELING?!" Lincoln asked as he felt the energy. "I DON'T KNOW, BUT IT THINK THIS PART OF THE UNION!" Said Clyde as he too felt the energy surge. "I DON'T KNOW WHAT'S HAPPENING, BUT I THINK WE SHOULD LET IT HAPPEN AND GO WITH THE FLOW!" Said Aurachnid while feeling the energy surge. "I FEEL LIKE WE'RE ALL CONNECTING IN MIND, BODY, AND SOUL WHILE OUR VECTORS ARE COMBINING AND IT FEELS VERY GOOD!" Said Sakura as felt bliss from the energy. Finally, the Vectors started to combine, starting with Vector Anansi in which, in a backwards position, combined underneath Vector LL and unfolded the ends of its legs to form feet. Meanwhile, Vector Jewel connected to the back of Vector LL to form the jet pack and wings. After that, the two halves of Vector LL's front end opened up their panels to form shoulder blades while also revealing arms underneath. Then, the ends twisted and folded over to allow robotic human-like hands to pop out and open their fingers. Finally, the part containing the cockpit on Vector LL folded down to form the chest while the top part popped upwards to reveal the head, which resembles Aquarion EVOL but with a crest that immediately unfolded into a V shape. After that, the new robot turned on its eye lights, closed its hands into fists, and did few a punching moves. And then Lincoln shouted "AQUARION! LL!" while the now named Aquarion LL did a heroic stance similar to Aquarion EVOL while unfolding its wings to reveal metallic bird-like feathers coming out of them like a war fan. The sight of the giant robot shocked King Draco, General Kabuto, Cicadeath, and Flygor to their cores.

"Where did the riders get the technology for that?!" Cicadeath asked. Meanwhile, in another dimension. At the command center of Neo-DEAVA HQ, we see Zen Fudo, Crea Dolosera, Donar Dantes, Suomi Konepi, and all of the Element users watching from the monitor the first formation of Aquarion LL. "They did it!" Mikono, holding onto Amata's arm, said. "Wow! Gotta hand it to those kids, not bad for their first time!" Said Andy, with Mix standing right next to him. "Yes! This is exactly what I had in mind! Go Kamen Riders! Use the power of Aquarion to help ensure your future!" Zen Fudo said, looking at Amata and Mikono, specifically the diamond ring on Mikono's left hand. (A/N: This Takes Place About Two Years After The End Of Aquarion EVOL)

Back in Royal Woods, Manticron was quite unhappy to see the giant robot in front of him. "ARE YOU FREAKING KIDDING ME?! I THOUGHT GIANT ROBOTS ONLY EXIST IN HUMAN FICTION! HOW ON EARTH DID YOU THREE OBTAIN SOMETHING LIKE THAT?!" Manticron shouted in fury. "To tell the truth, we're not exactly sure ourselves." Sakura's voice rang out. "Yeah, all we know is something about human hating angels, reincarnated people piloting these things, the works." Clyde said. "I actually stopped listening to the orientation when the guy started talking about some 'Curse of Eve' thing." Aurachnid said. "Basically, this is a gift from some kind-hearted people from another universe! That, and those people said that the Tree of Life in King Draco's castle is actually the offspring of the Tree of Life from their universe!" Said Lincoln, much to the shock and surprise of Manticron and the other Animarius present.

"Interesting." King Draco said. "Now we're going to use this gift to help bring an end to your reign of terror! Jewel, Anansi! Let's go!" Lincoln said. "Right!" Clyde said. "On it!" Sakura said as they all moved their controls. Unfortunately, it seems their controls got mixed up somehow and Aquarion LL ended up summersaulting in the air before flopping onto the ground. "Okay, first, let's figure out these controls, then go!" Lincoln said. "Hehehe, now that's an epic fail when I see one!" Said Cicadeath as he and Flygor laughed at Aquarion LL's sudden spill while General Kabuto and King Draco simply made a facepalm. "Okay, let's see, uh who's Vector made the legs?" Lincoln asked. "I think that was ours!" Aurachnid said from within his and Clyde's cockpit. "Dang it, old man! Why couldn't you have focused less on the origins of this thing and more on how to control it?!" He said.

Back in Neo-DEAVA HQ. "I think they need help!" Said Amata as he and Mikono see the Kamen Riders having trouble with the controls. "Fair point. Amata, help LL. Mikono, help Jewel, Andy, help Anansi!" Zen said. "Yes, Commander Fudo!" Said Amata, Mikono, and Andy as they went to their stations to activate the communicators. Meanwhile, with the riders, they were struggling to get Aquarion on it's feet, even with the knowledge that Vector Anansi made up the legs. "Okay, maybe this butto n!" Clyde said, only for a set of missiles to be launched from the legs. "NOT THAT ONE!" He said. Fortunately, the missiles still ended up hitting Manticron.

"*ROAR!* THAT WAS A LUCKY SHOT, YOU PUNKS! UNFORTUNATELY FOR YOU, I STILL GOT MY NANITES!" Manticron shouted as his wounds healed themselves very quickly. "Ah, dang it! I forgot! Even if we manage to get control, we still have those nanites to deal with first!" Lincoln realized. "Use an EMP!" A mysterious voice rang out over the communicator. "Huh?" The three riders asked in confusion. "If the being the nanites are in is exposed to a powerful electromagnetic field, the nanites temporarily shut down. The stronger the field, the longer they're disabled!" The voice said. "What do you mean? Who said that? Hello!" Lincoln said. Unbeknownst to any of them, Aquilis had managed to hack into the communications network and deliver that message with a disguised voice.

"Good luck, Kamen Riders! You will need it more than you think!" Aquilis whispered to herself as she had already cut the call. Back the Kamen Riders. "Whoever that was, they've already cut their call!" Said Sakura. "Well, while the EMP is a good idea, we don't know how to do so, especially since we can't seem to find right controls for Aquarion!" Lincoln said. "We can help you with that!" Said another voice the Kamen Riders don't recognize. "Who is it, now?" Asked Lincoln. "That would be me, Amata Sora!" answered Amata from Neo-DEAVA HQ. "Wait! That name! Zen Fudo mentioned it in the video!" Sakura said. "Great! Hey is that old man you take orders from on the line? I've got a few words for him!" Aurachnid said. "Really, Aurachnid?!" Clyde asked. "What? He wouldn't shut up and took forever to get to the point!" Aurachnid said.

"Yeah, he's not actually on the line right now! So you're going to have to wait on that!" Amata answered. "Dang it!" Aurachnid said while pouting in annoyance. "In the meantime, I'll be helping LL while Mikono will be helping Jewel! As for you, Anansi, Andy will be helping you!" Amata said further. "Domo Arigatogozaimasu, senpai!" Sakura said. "You're Welcome!" Amata answered back. "First thing you guys need to know is that Aquarion is more than just a machine." Mikono said. "It's also an extension of the pilots' bodies, hearts, souls, and minds. Properly piloting it needs complete synergy between the three pilots." Andy said. "And its stability heavily relies on the pilot's state of mind and body! Also, if the pilot is unwell, Aquarion's merge will dissolve back into its three Vector components!" Amata said. "Would have been nice if the old man had been more clear about that!" Aurachnid said. "Piloting Aquarion for the first time can be difficult, especially when considering the differences between the formations. But if all three pilots are able to work as one, it can be done." Andy noted. "Take this formation. Anansi, your Vector is currently forming the legs." He told Clyde.

"Clearly, we've noticed that!" Said Clyde. "Jewel, your Vector forms the wings, but it also controls the arms!" Mikono said. "That's good to know, Senpai." Sakura said. "And LL, you have the most important part right now, the head. Which Vector forms the head, as well as the pilot of said Vector determines the powers and skills of Aquarion." Amata said. "Okay." Lincoln said, steeling his resolve. "You need to work in sync with the others in order to fully control Aquarion! Also, the moment you three merged, Aquarion had amplified your powers so that it would use them at the same time as any of you!" Amata explained. "Huh! You know, this whole thing about working in sync with others in a giant robot kind of reminds me of a movie my sisters and I saw on TV a while ago! I believe it was called "Pacific Rim"!" Lincoln noted. "Okay, let's try this again!" Lincoln said as Clyde grabbed his controls.

"Alright then, going up!" Said Clyde as he used the foot pedals to cause Aquarion LL to move its legs upwards. With a leap upwards, the three riders found themselves on their feet. "Remember, you need to be in sync in order to utilize Aquarion to it's full potential. If you can manage to do that, then you too can secure both the future of your world, and your own." Mikono said, looking at her engagement ring then to Amata. "Whoa! Mikono-senpai, are you and Amata-senpai engaged to be married?!" Sakura asked in amazement. "Yep! A marriage 24,000 years in the making. At least that's what we'll put in the invitations!" Mikino admitted with a chuckle. "Wow! Congratulations! Perhaps we could attend the wedding, once we find a way your universe, that is!" Sakura said. "Or, if you can't we could find a way to stream it to your dimension! Since we were able to bring the Vectors to your world, that shouldn't be much of a problem!" Mikono said. "Hopefully, your inter dimensional streaming is better than your inter dimensional transportation! These things were pretty beat up when we found them! No joke, LL's 7 year old sister, surprisingly good with mechanics, had to fix them up!" Aurachnid said.

"Really?! That's odd! They were weren't like that when they were transported through the portal! Perhaps they have gotten damaged inside the rift between dimensions!" Mikono noted. "And come to think of it..." The voice of Mikono's older brother Cayenne rang out. "The colors are different too." He noted. "Yeah, Lana was the one who repainted the Vectors after fixing them! Probably so that the Vectors match the color scheme of their respective Riders!" Aurachnid explained. "Well, they certainly look cool." Amata said before getting back to the topic on hand. "Now go! Use what we told you and remember, if the three of you are in sync, there's nothing Aquarion can't do!" He told them. "Right!" Lincoln said as the communication ended. "Guys, I've got an idea! Lisa said this form is best for close range combat, so I want you guys to help me imagine a sword. One that can cut through the strongest of metals!" Lincoln instructed.

"Right!" Said Sakura, Clyde, and Aurachnid as they closed their eyes while Lincoln closed his. Then, after a minute, they all imagined a broadsword with a golden crossguard shaped like bird wings and has three gemstones (one red , one blue, and one green) set in a triangular pattern in its center. Positioning their control sticks in a way akin to that of a samurai preparing to pull out their sword from the sheath on the side, with Aquarion LL doing the same, they snapped to attention. "Summon! Aquarion Saber!" They all said together, mimicking the action with the control sticks, causing Aquarion to do the same, creating the sword they envisioned. "So, you want a sword fight, huh?! Well, two can play at that game!" Said Manticron as he summoned a sword from his person that looked like a scimitar. "Bring it!" Lincoln, Sakura, and Clyde said together.

Then, both Aquarion LL and Manticron charged towards each other and clashed swords. Then, just as they imagined it, the Aquarion Saber cut through Manticron's scimitar like butter. "Woah! That actually worked?!" Lincoln asked as Manticron stared dumbfounded at his broken blade. "D'OH! Looks like I'll have to fight you the old-fashioned way!" Manticore said as he then shot his quills at Aquarion LL, only for them to swatted away by the robot's sword.

(Cue "Kimi no Shinwa ~ Aquarion Dai Ni Shou" by AKINO with bless4)

"Nice Try, But No Enchilada!" Lincoln said as Aquarion LL stood proudly in front of Manticron. "Okay then, How About This?!" Manticron shouted as he trusted his tail stinger towards Aquarion LL. Jumping up to avoid the stinger, the riders grabbed Manticron's stinger tail and used the Aquarion saber to cut it in half. "OWWWW!" Manticron said, reeling the half of his tail that wasn't severed back. "Quick! Before he has a chance to use the nanites!" Lincoln said before they tossed the tail up in the air. Getting the hint, Clyde pushed the button he found earlier, releasing a swarm of missiles. The missiles hit the severed tail, destroying it. "NOOOO! MY PRECIOUS STINGER!" Manticore yelled in agony. Then, he looked at Aquarion LL with anger and said "You're all gonna pay for this!" right before flew up high into the air with his wings and let out a fire breath at them. Quickly turning to the side, they narrowly avoided the fire. "Okay, we managed to get some damage to him, but if we don't neutralize those nanites and fast, it will all be a moot point!" Aurachnid said. "He's right!" Clyde said. "Lisa-chan! We need a strong electromagnetic field! Any ideas?" Sakura asked.

"I just might be able to help with that! I've been working on an Electromagnetic Pulse generator, a cannon if you will, if I set it to the right amount, I might be able to not only disable the nanites, but destroy them completely!" Lisa said. She was met with silence. "What?" She asked. "Why have you been working on a cannon that fires EMPs?" Lincoln asked concerned. "It's supposed to be a project for the U.S. Military, in case we ever get attacked by terrorists or some other kind of human threat!" Lisa answered. "That actually raises more questions than it answers!" Sakura said. "You can say that again!" Aurachnid agreed. "Actually, it's not the most extreme thing she's admitted too." Lincoln said. "Not even close!" Clyde admitted.

"What do you mean by that, Lincoln-kun?" Sakura asked. "Trust me, you don't want to know. Now anyway, about that cannon?" Lincoln said. "It's at Toadus and Gorf's hideout. I'll contact them and let them know to meet me at your coordinates." Lisa said, hanging up. "Right! And in the meantime..." Lincoln said, turning his attention back onto Manticron. "Come up here and fight me, if you dare!" Said Manticron in a taunting manner. "Alright then, you've asked for it! Let's Fly!" Said Lincoln. Then, Aquarion LL spread its wings open and flew up towards Manticron. After that, Manticron let out another fire breath while Aquarion LL used its sword to cut through the flames. As that was happening, we see a news helicopter flying towards the battle. Inside that helicopter is none other than Katherine Mulligan, along with her cameraman. "Just when you thought this whole ordeal couldn't get any crazier! The Kamen Riders show up with a giant robot!" Katherine said in utter shock.

"And by the look of things, they're fighting a giant fire-breathing Animarius that looks like a Manticore!" She added. "And right now, I'm questioning my decision to get all this from a helicopter!" Katherine said as the chopper narrowly avoided an ember. Then, from inside the robot, the Kamen Riders took quick notice of the news helicopter. "You have got to be kidding me!" Lincoln said. "Let me guess, Katherine Mulligan is inside of that helicopter, isn't she?" Clyde asked. "Yes, and judging by Manticron's behavior, she and the rest of the people onboard are in serious danger!" Sakura noted. "We've got to them out of there before they get seriously injured or worse!" Said Aurachnid. As Aurachnid said that, Manticron took note of the news copter. "Hmm! Fast Food!" He said, licking his chops. "Breaking news! The Animarius has spotted our copter and looks hungry!" Katherine said.

Then, Manticron grabbed the helicopter and opened his opened his mouth in preparation to eat the people inside of it. "And now, he grabbed our chopper and that can only mean one thing, HE'S GOING TO EAT US!" Katherine Mulligan shouted in panic as he and the crew held on to dear life in order to prevent themselves from getting eaten. Only for Aquarion LL to do a flying shoulder check straight into Manticron's body, sending him flying as they caught the chopper safely. "Is everyone alright?" Lincoln asked. "We are now! Thanks, Kamen Riders!" Katherine Mulligan answered "Say, do you mind telling us the name of this giant robot that you're all piloting before putting us safely on the ground?" She asked. "Well, since you've asked nicely, I might as well tell you! It's name is Aquarion!" Lincoln answered. "Aquarion?" Katherine couldn't help but ask in curiousity. "It's a long story. But for now we need to get you to safety!" Lincoln called out. "LL, look! On that rooftop!" Clyde said, pointing to the nearby rooftop, where Lisa, Toadus, and Gorf were setting up the EMP cannon.

"Wow! How on earth did they up there so quickly?" Lincoln asked himself as he saw what Clyde was pointing at. After thinking about it for about a minute, Lincoln said. "You know what, best not to question it." He said as he used Aquarion LL to set the chopper down on the rooftop. "You'll be safe here with our allies. Yes, two of them are Animarius, but don't worry, you can trust them." He assured Katherine. "Long story short, they defected from Empire and are helping us fight against them!" Sakura explained. "Now if you'll excuse us..." Clyde said as they took off and let Lisa continue to set up the weapon. "Animarius defecting from the empire and helping the riders? Talk about scoop city!" Katherine said as she and her cameraman rushed over.

Katherine then approached Toadus and Gorf with her microphone in hand and started asking them some questions. As this was going on, Aquarion LL continued to do battle against Manticron. It was evenly matched, every time the riders managed to do some damage, the nanites did their job. "This weapon of yours better work, Lisa-chan!" Sakura said. "Well, we're about to find out!" Lisa said while Toadus was telling an enthralled Katherine the story of how this whole thing started 5,000 years ago. "Try all you want, but your giant robot is no match for me!" Manticron boastfully said. Then, he noticed Master Toadus and Gorf on the rooftop as well as their weapon. After that, Manticron approached the rooftop and towered over everyone present there. "Well, well, well! If isn't the traitors, Toadus and Gorf! I was hoping to come after the both of you next after I've defeated the Kamen Riders, but you two have just saved me the trouble by coming here yourselves!" Manticron said as he loomed over the rooftop and glared at Master Toadus and Gorf.

However before he could do anything, Aquarion LL grabbed him from behind. "Focus on us, coward!" Sakura said, before tossing Manticron backwards into a clear space. "Cicadeath, look! The riders have an EMP generator!" Flygor said. "*GASP!* If that weapon were to be fired upon Manticron, it would destroy his Nanites and take away his self-healing abilities! We've got to stop them!" Cicadeath said as he flew towards the rooftop. "Right behind you on that, Cicadeath!" Said Flygor as he followed Cicadeath from behind. "And I was so touched by Ryu's selflessness and shocked by Draco's selfishness I made the decision to steal the power amplifier from Aquilis' lab." Toadus told an oddly interested Katherine and her crew.

"Then, after Gorf and I modified the power amplifier into the driver that LL uses today, I gave it to Ryu to become the first Kamen Rider!" Toadus continued. "Fascinating! And you say Kamen Rider Jewel is a descendant of this 'Ryu' person who fought off the original wave of Animarius soldiers?" Katherine asked as Gorf poured tea Toadus had magically summoned for each of the guests. "Yes, but she's also a descendant of a Nature Fairy, whose driver is currently used by Jewel! That fairy's name was Naturia!" Toadus answered. "That's how she's able to use those elemental powers she uses in battle. They were in love, but it wasn't meant to be. After we sealed Draco's army, she had to return to the one she was betrothed to at the time, much to their dismay." Toadus said.

"Though, about a year later, Naturia gave birth to a newborn baby boy and found out the child was actually Ryu's! So, in order to keep her husband from finding out, she snuck her infant out of the forest where she lives and left him in a basket with a note in front Ryu's house! After hearing the infant's cries, Ryu picked him up and read the note! Then, after realizing that the infant is his and Naturia's son, Ryu decided to raise him and named him Kizuna, meaning "bond" in Japanese, to represent the bond that Ryu had with Naturia!" Toadus explained further. This story got Katherine and her crew in tears. "That's so beautiful!" Katherine said. "Yeah, yeah, yeah. So what!?" A voice rang out, everyone, including Lisa looked to see Cicadeath and Flygor on the rooftops.

"Cicadeath?!" Gorf said. "That's right, Gorf, I'm back! Especially after you helped LL and Jewel destroy me! General Kabuto was able to retrieve my Soul Core and bring me back to life! And, he gave a partner!" Cicadeath said as he then pointed at Flygor. "The name's Flygor! As for why we're here, we found out about your EMP generator and we're not going to let you fire it Manticron!" Flygor said "How are we going to stop your plan, ask? Here's how! NOW FLYGOR!" Cicadeath shouted to Flygor, who then spat a huge wad of saliva at the EMP generator. The moment it got hit, a crucial part of the EMP generator started to melt, much to the fury of Lisa. "Did you just sabotage MY INVENTION?!" Lisa angrily yelled. "Yes, that's exactly what I did!" Said Flygor. "For a kid genius, you sure are a Royal Idiot, Lisa Loud!" Said Cicadeath, who then laughed alongside Flygor, causing Lisa to be so angry that she took off her helmet.

Thinking quick, Toadus tapped Katherine and her crew's foreheads, causing them to slump over. "Memory erasing spell, when they wake up, they'll have no memory of everything that happened after Cicadeath and Flygor appeared." He explained to Lisa. "Much appreciated, Master Toadus!" Said Lisa. "But the cannon!" She said. "I can fix that, too. Picked up a little alchemy and knowledge about this kind of thing in the 5,000 years Gorf and I have been hiding." Toadus said. "Oh, no you don't!" Cicadeath said as he and Flygor dropped into fighting stances. "If you want to stop us from helping the riders, you'll have to go through me first!" Gorf said, holding his Katana.

Then, Flygor spat a wad of saliva at Gorf's katana, causing the blade to melt, much to Gorf's chagrin. "Fortunately, I have backups at the hideout. Even more fortunately, I don't need a sword to fight! Animari Ninpo! Otamajakushi Bakudan!" Gorf cried. Knowing that technique all too well, Cicadeath said "Oh No! Quick! Dodge it!" while alerted Flygor. Then, the two insects flew upwards and dodged the tadpole-shaped bombs. While that was happening, Katherine Mulligan and her crew woke up in a groggy manner. "Hey! What happened?! The last thing I remember was interviewing you and seeing that Fly monster melt that EMP generator! How exactly did I pass out?" Katherine asked Toadus, who was getting ready to use alchemy on the melted EMP generator. "The fumes from the EMP generator's melting must have made you and your crew faint for a minute!" Toadus said while cleverly fibbing how Katherine and her crew went unconscious. "Oh! Well, that explains the headache!" Katherine said with satisfaction to that answer.

"Well, you're about to receive an even bigger headache!" Cicadeath said. Realizing what Cicadeath was hinting at, Lisa turned to everyone. "Cover your ears, quick!" She instructed. After Katherine and her crew covered their ears, Cicadeath unleashed his soundwaves. That caused the rest of the EMP generator to explode, much to Lisa's chagrin. "Dang It!" Lisa yelled in frustration. This caused Cicadeath and Flygor to laugh at their achievement. "Looks like there's no way to restore your weapon, even with alchemy!" Cicadeath said while still laughing. Finally having enough, Lisa, with her helmet back on, marched towards the two insects and then grabbed them by their faces. She then, while angrily staring at both of their eyes, said to Cicadeath and Flygor "You know what?! That Makes Me Mad!" right before she, with a surprising amount of strength, smacked them all across the floor. Then, Lisa tossed the two insects towards a wall, causing to crash right into it *CRASH!*. "*GROAN!* How did someone as young and small as you become so strong?!" Cicadeath asked in confusion. "I'm wearing a strength enhancement suit underneath my outfit, in case I ever get in a situation where I need to defend myself!" Lisa answered.

"Well, it doesn't matter! Without that cannon, the best you can do to get rid of Manticron would be launching him into the sun!" Flygor said, laughing. "And we both know that to be impossible!" Cicadeath added as he laughed alongside Flygor. The riders heard the conversation through Lisa's comm set. "The sun?" Clyde asked. "Do you really think we could do that?" Aurachnid asked. "Lisa-chan did say Aquarion LL has great strength." Sakura said. "There's only one way to find out!" Lincoln said. Then, in an instant, Aquarion LL grabbed Manticron. "HEY! What's going on here?!" Manticron asked as he was carried off by Aquarion LL as it flew upwards towards the sky. "Hey! No fair! I can't get any good action for the news if you do that!" Katherine complained. "Don't worry! I'll help with that!" Said Lisa as she then pulled up a laptop that's linked to the cameras in Aquarion. Everyone watched as Aquarion rocketed through the Earth's Exosphere. (To Clarify, The Exosphere Is The Name For The Outer Layer Of The Earth's Atmosphere, And Is About 10,000 Kilometers, Or 6,200 Miles Above The Earth's Surface)

"Just what are you all accomplishing by bringing me into space?!" Manticron asked as he was then launched forward by Aquarion LL. "Look behind you!" Lincoln said. "Huh?!" Said Manticron as he turned around and saw the sun. "ARE YOU ALL INSANE?! YOU'RE ALL GOING THROW ME STRAIGHT INTO SUN?!" Manticron yelled in horror. "Something like that!" Answered Lincoln. "Let's try out that move with the extending arms!" Clyde said. "You mean, the Mugen Punch?! Is that even possible?!" Sakura asked. "There's only one way to find out, and that's to try it yourselves!" Amata's voice rang out again. "Don't worry, we believe in you!" Mikono's voice rang out. "Arigato, senpai!" Sakura said.

"Alright then, let's do this!" Said Lincoln.

(Cue "Eve no Danpen" by AKINO with bless4)

Then, after closing their eyes and imagining the signature move of past Aquarions, the Kamen Riders pulled out their control sticks and made a forward punching motion while shouting "MUGEN PUNCH!", causing Aquarion LL to mimic that action and launch its fist while it's attached to an infinitely extending mechanical tendril. This sight caused Manticron to shout "WHAT THE FLAGNAR?!" right before the punch pushed him towards the sun. Then, after a while, Manticron was close enough to the sun, that a nearby solar flare hit him. This caused the nanites in his body explode all at once and he felt it. "NOOOOOO! MY PRECIOUS NANITES!" Manticron yelled in anguish as he was then pushed around towards where he was launched from in the first place. Then, after a while, Manticron was getting close to Aquarion LL. "Time to see if my finishing moves work for Aquarion!" Lincoln said as he typed in the code for the final attack.

*-# Final Attack!

Then, the glow in Lincoln's right foot transferred down into Aquarion LL's right foot. Afterwards, Aquarion LL pushed itself forwards and went straight towards Manticron with its right foot forward. Then, the Kamen Riders shouted "AQUARION RIDER KICK!" as Aquarion LL kicked Manticron directly in his chest. After yelling in pain, Manticron shouted "OF ALL THE THINGS TO BE DEFEATED BY, WHY DID IT HAVE TO BE A GIANT ROBOT?!" right before he exploded, causing him to revert into a Soul Core. Then, after retracting its fist back into its arm, Aquarion LL shot a tractor beam from its forehead and teleported the Soul Core to Lincoln's cockpit. "Done and done." Lincoln said, sealing the soul core. "Excellent work, Kamen Riders." The voice of Zen Fudo said. "The Vectors are yours to keep. May they fly true in your battle against King Draco and his empire." He said.

"Thank you, Zen Fudo!" Said the Kamen Riders. "Zen Fudo?! Finally! I have got some words for you, old man!" Aurachnid said after hearing Zen Fudo's name. "Oh boy." Clyde said. "First of all, WHY DID YOU TAKE SO LONG TO GET TO THE POINT WHEN YOU RECORDED THAT VIDEO?!" Aurachnid angrily yelled. As Aurachnid had kept rambling on, what he didn't know was that Clyde had muted the mic in his cockpit, so as to not have Aurachnid offend Zen Fudo. Back at Neo-DEAVA HQ, the Element users saw Aurachnid, but didn't actually hear him. "You think we should say something?" Mikono asked. "Probably not, Mikono-senpai. Aurachnid-san's just mad about the length of the video Commander Fudo sent is all." Sakura said with a chuckle. "And congratulations again about your and Amata-senpai's engagement!" She added. "Thank you, Jewel!" Mikono replied.

The riders then turned Aquarion around and headed back to Royal Woods. Meanwhile, back with Master Toadus, Gorf, Lisa, Katherine Mulligan, and the news crew, they all saw the footage from the battle and they were impressed. "That was amazing!" Katherine said as the riders landed in Aquarion. "You may have won this round, riders." King Draco's voice rang out, everyone turned to the rooftop he, Kabuto, Cicadeath, and Flygor were currently on. "But the battle is just beginning! And you can count on seeing more of the Enlargement Ray as it continues!" Draco warned. "And we'll be ready!" Lincoln said. "By the way, Jewel. Hell's Watchdog asked me to pass along a message to you!" Kabuto said. "Who's Hell's Watchdog?" Katherine asked. "An extremely powerful Animarius soldier Jewel has a bit of a history with." Lisa explained.

"Of course, his real name is Cerberion! Primarily, because of his Cerberus motif!" Master Toadus said. "What does that overgrown and cowardly mutt want to tell me?" Sakura asked. "He wants me to tell you that he hopes you continue to get stronger! He says and I quote 'Our fated duel wouldn't be fun any other way!' Kabuto said. Angrily, Sakura used her controls to pluck Kabuto off the rooftop and straight in front of Aquarion's face. "Uh Oh!" Said Kabuto as he can tell that Sakura is in a bad mood. "You better tell him that he doesn't scare me! And that I will continue to grow stronger, and when we face, he will pay for the sins he committed against my family!" Sakura said, Kabuto simply laughed. "I guarantee you, that admirable confidence will disappear once you see just what he's truly capable of!" Kabuto said.

"I should know, because he once reduced me back into a Soul Core with just one punch, right after I got into argument with him, and I became wary of him ever since I was brought back to life!" Kabuto explained. This caused Sakura to lighten up on the controls in fear. "And there's a good reason even Tyrannus fears him, and trust me, if you knew it, you wouldn't be so eager to even meet him!" Kabuto said. "Heck, he recently told me and the other generals that he was around during the bombing of Hiroshima and Nagasaki and he literally collected all of the souls of those that died there!" Kabuto explained further. Sakura started getting more and more scared, which Lincoln and Clyde both noticed and felt due to the link Aquarion's merge had given them. "Jewel?" Lincoln asked in concern about his girlfriend.

"You okay, there?" Asked Clyde in concern. "Just... just get out of my sight!" Sakura said, allowing Aquarion to release Kabuto who simply laughed and flew over to King Draco. "Until next time, riders!" Draco said as they left the area. After that, Cicadeath and Flygor both said "Ta-Ta For Now, Kamen Riders!" and laughed as they both followed King Draco and General Kabuto back to the castle. "Is Jewel going to be alright?" Katherine asked, noticing what just happened. "We can only hope to see." Lisa said. Meanwhile in Aquarion, Sakura had removed her helmet and was thinking about what Kabuto had just said. "Cerberion collects human souls? How does he do that?" Sakura wondered out loud. "Considering he's modeled after Cerberus, the guard dog of the underworld in Greco-Roman myth, I think that might have something to do with it." Lisa's voice came over the communicator as Lincoln and Clyde walked into Sakura's cockpit.

"What do mean by that, exactly?" Sakura asked. "According to the myth, Cerberus guards the gates to the underworld. Whenever a soul enters, it's pretty much impossible to get past him and out of the underworld." Lisa explained. "*GULP!* Now that's one dog you do not want to pet!" Lincoln said in nervousness. "Of course, in the myths, only two people managed to encounter Cerberus and survived, Orpheus, who used a string instrument called a lyre to pacify the beast in order to get past him, and Heracles, who actually fought the three-headed dog without any weapons and captured him in order to present the beast to King Eurysteus as part of his Twelfth Labour, though for the latter he returned Cerberus to the Underworld after he presented the creature to King Eurysteus, who was so frightened that he hid in a jar and ordered Heracles to leave for good and take the dog with him!" Lisa explained further. "I doubt Cerberion will be as easy. This could be your most difficult battle yet." Toadus said, which made Sakura nervous.

"Say, Master Toadus, why exactly does Cerberion collect human souls in the first place?" Sakura asked while still nervous. "He just likes the thrill of it." Toadus said. "Man, that is one sick-minded dog!" Aurachnid said in utter disgust. "Yeah, Lucy's definitely not like this!" Said Clyde in a shudder. Noticing his girlfriend's emotional face, he approached her and placed a calming hand on his shoulder. "Don't worry, you're not alone in this fight." He assured her. "We're right beside you." He said. "Arigato, LL!" Sakura said right before she shook her head and asked Lincoln "Wait a minute! If you, Anansi, and Aurachnid are here in my cockpit, who's piloting the rest of Aquarion?!" in confusion.

When Lincoln, Clyde, and Aurachnid realized what Sakura had meant, they uttered "WHOOPS!" as Aquarion then fell over and landed face first onto the pavement. After that, the Kamen Riders and Aurachnid shouted "WE'RE OKAY!" to confirm that they're unharmed. "I realize this probably isn't the best time, but I have a question for LL and Jewel. Is there any truth to the rumors that the two of you are involved in a romantic relationship? It's all over the internet, and I was just curious." Katherine asked. After hearing that, Lincoln and Sakura blushed bright red. "Actually, you're right, Katherine!" Said Lincoln. "LL and I are boyfriend and girlfriend right now" Said Sakura, who then held Lincoln's hand. "Ha! Yes! I KNEW IT! TAKE THAT EVERYONE WHO SAID JEWEL AND ANANSI WERE IN A RELATIONSHIP, AND YOU TOO EVERYONE WHO THOUGHT LL AND ANANSI WERE IN A RELATIONSHIP!" Katherine shouted. "What? I read a lot of fan boards." She admitted. "Just so you know, Katherine, I do have a girlfriend of my own! But, for her own safety, I'm afraid I'm going to keep her identity a secret!" Clyde said. "That's understandable, Anansi!" Katherine said, taking her crew and leaving. "We should probably go and check on the others." Sakura said. "Good idea." Lincoln, Clyde, and Aurachnid said.

Then, Lincoln and Clyde went back to their respective cockpits! After that, the Kamen Riders got Aquarion LL back up and immediately changed it back into its Vector components, much to the surprise of Katherine and her crew. "Just where did they get those things?" Katherine asked. "I'm afraid that kind of information is also confidential." Lisa said as she, Toadus, and Gorf left. Meanwhile, in an alleyway, Shintomaru was telling both of his parents as well as Lynn Loud Sr. about how Lincoln, Sakura, and Clyde have become the Kamen Riders and how they are fighting the Empire. To say they were surprised would be an understatement. "Wha- bu- ho-" Lynn Sr. said. "Close your mouth, dear. You'll catch a fly." Rita said. "How are you not surprised by this?" Lynn Sr. asked. "Mrs. Hoseki and I are in the same book club and she told me when we first met." Rita said.

"*GASP!* Et Tu, Rita?" Said Lynn Loud Sr. "And the girls know too." She admitted. "Dang it, Rita, why on earth didn't you tell me about this?!" Lynn Sr. asked. "I had a feeling Lincoln wouldn't want it to be publicly known." Rita said. "Yeah, and so far, that's not working out so well." Lincoln's voice rang out, everyone turning to see Lincoln, Clyde, and Sakura, their helmets off. "Apparently, most of it was because some people were able to figure out my identity due to my initials being used as my hero name, which was Clyde's idea in case you don't know!" Lincoln added as he pointed at Clyde. "It was the first thing that came to mind." Clyde admitted. "Another thing is that our enemies already know about my family life, especially when Cicadeath kidnapped Luna in order to lure me and Sakura into a death trap!" Lincoln said, much to the shock and horror of Lynn Sr. and Rita.

"That horrible insect even revealed my crush on Lincoln-kun, even though I wasn't ready yet!" Sakura angrily said, clenching her fist. "How did he figure that out, you ask? HE PLACED A CAMERA-MOUNTED CICADA IN MY SHOWER STALL AND HE SPIED ON ME WHILE I WAS IN THERE TAKING A SHOWER THAT'S HOW!" Sakura angrily yelled, much the adults surprise. "And I thought cockroaches were disgusting!" Rita said. "The other horrible things Cicadeath did to me were using his soundwaves on me! The first time he unleashed them on me and Lincoln-kun, it caused us both to throw up with our helmets on! The second he had done so was earlier today, when he caused Lincoln-kun, Clyde-kun, and I to get diarrhea and involuntarily poop in our pants! Just like what happened to me when I ate bean chips when I was younger!" Sakura added while becoming upset.

"Oh, yeah. I remember that day. Not exactly your finest moment, Sakura-chan." Shintomaru said, starting to chuckle, before noticing an angry glare from Sakura. 'Dang it Shintomaru, you baka! First you made her cry, now this?!' He thought to himself. "Gomennasai, Sakura-chan! I shouldn't have chuckled at you!" Shintomaru said while bowing in apology. "Daijobudesu, Shin-kun." Sakura said. Meanwhile, at the Animarius Castle. "Sorry that Manticron was destroyed, you're majesty!" Said Cicadeath. "Those riders must overheard our comment about the sun and actually sent him there, a feat that we both thought to impossible to pull off!" Flygor said. "Actually, to be honest with you two, even I thought that was impossible! Plus, that giant robot Aquarion was a rather unexpected element!" Said King Draco. "Fortunately, for you two, neither of you are getting punished for this, especially since that Enlargement Raygun you've both created is still sucessful! That, and you two did a good effort in destroying that EMP generator before it could be used!" He added. "Thank You, Your Majesty!" Said Cicadeath and Flygor. "Since we're going to use the Raygun more often, I going to need you two to analyze the battle data of Aquarion for today and also collect any data on Aquarion when it appears in future battles!" King Draco said. At once, your majesty!" Cicadeath and Flygor replied.

Meanwhile, in Aquilis' lab, she was performing her own study of Aquarion. "Fascinating." She said. "Mother?" She turned around to see Tytus. "Yes, sweetie?" Aquilis asked. "Why did you tell the riders about the EMP?" Tytus asked. "Well, you know how much I dislike unfair advantages." Aquilis said. "Yes, but there's more to it isn't there?" Tytus asked. Aquilis just stood there in silence. "Oh my gosh, there is." Tytus said. "Let's just say I'm going through a lot in my mind, Tytus. I'm thinking things that I shouldn't, and I'm not sure what to do." Aquilis admitted. "Does it have anything to do with this 'Operation Trade Winds' thing you told me about?" Tytus asked, pulling out the trigger Aquilis gave her. "Something like that!" Aquilis replied. Tytus looked like she was about to say something else, when she turned and flexed her wing, sending a metal feather into the wall outside the entrance. "I know you're there, Cicadeath and Flygor!" She said, folding her wing back up.

"D'OH! She spotted us!" Said Cicadeath. "Let's get out of here!" Said Flygor as he and Cicadeath scurried away before Tytus could see them. "Mother, just what is 'Operation Trade Winds'?" Tytus asked. "Let's just say I'm glad you sent those two running before you asked that question, darling. Because you're the only one I know I can trust with the knowledge of it's existence." Aquilis said. Then, Aquilis approached Tytus and said "It's a..." before whispering the rest of the information to her. This caused Tytus to be shocked and surprised. "But mother, that's-" Tytus said. "I know." Aquilis said. "But why would you even think about-" Tytus started saying. "Let's just say that recent experiences has caused me to rethink everything. I haven't even decided if I will do it yet, but still." Aquilis said as Tytus looked at the trigger. "Well, whatever you decide, I promise I'll be there for you straight through to the end, no matter what!" She said.

"Thank you, Tytus! I very much appreciate that!" Said Aquilis. Later, we see Lincoln, Sakura, Clyde, Shintomaru, and Chloe show Lynn Sr., Rita, and both of Shintomaru's parents the secret base of the Kamen Riders, along with the Vectors they recently received. "What in the world? This was underneath your house!? And how did those things get down here?" Lynn Sr. asked. "Yes, this base is indeed underneath my house! As for how our Vectors got here, Lisa-chan installed shrinking technology in order for them to fit through the tunnels as well as allow them to fit into our pockets!" Sakura answered. "Thanks for acknowledging by work, Sakura!" Said Lisa, who came through a secret passage, with Master Toadus and Gorf right behind her. "AAAAH! Giant frog people!" Lynn Sr. said, hiding behind Rita. "Eh, that's an understandable reaction." Gorf said. "Although he's actually a toad, so." He added. "Ooh, Kappas!" Shintomaru's mother said. "What-as?" Lincoln asked. "Kappas, a water creature of Japanese folklore, said to be mischievous and have a love of cucumbers." Sakura explained.

"Actually, Mrs. Kadogawa, Kappas are humanoid turtle-like creatures with a depression in their skulls that contain water that's also their power source and if they lose said liquid, they would be weakened! Master Toadus and Gorf, however, are actually Animarius based on amphibians and bear no resemblance towards Kappas or turtles!" Lisa corrected. Hearing the word 'Animarius' made Lynn Sr. freak out again. "AAAAAH! Evil frog people!" He said. "Relax, dad. They're on our side." Lincoln said, pinching the bridge of his nose. "Really?!" Asked Lynn Sr. while still hiding behind Rita. "I assure you, Mr. Loud, my ward and I haven't associated ourselves with Draco and his empire in 5,000 years." Toadus said. "*SIGH!* that's a relief!" Said Lynn Sr. as he sighed in relief.

"Just be glad you guys don't have a spider motif." Clyde said, as Aurachnid dangled from his index finger via a string of web. "AAAAAAAAHH SPIDER!" Lynn Sr. screamed. "See what I mean?" Clyde asked. Meanwhile, back at the Animarius Castle, Cicadeath and Flygor were working on something. "With these flares, we'll be able to triangulate the Enlargement Raygun's beam easier, and we won't have to lug this thing everywhere!" Cicadeath said. "Good thing. Hey, what do you think it was Aquilis was talking about?" Flygor asked, while examining footage of Aquarion. "We did hear the words, "Operation Trade Winds", but other than that, I have no clue!" Flygor replied. "Yeah, what do you think that was all about?" Cicadeath asked.

"I don't know, Cicadeath, but I can tell you this! Something is very suspicious about General Aquilis and I intend to find out!" Flygor answered. "I'm with you all the way on that, Flygor!" Said Cicadeath. Back at the Kamen Riders base, a chromatic portal appeared above everyone, much to their shock and surprise. "Now what?" Asked Aurachnid in annoyance. Then, a small object landed in front of the Kamen Riders. It is a small robotic dog with metallic wings and a red marking on its forehead. In other words, it looks like a robotic version of Pollon. Then, the mechanical canine start to bark in excitement. "CUTIE!/KAWAII!" The ladies in the room beamed. Then, Sakura ran over to the robotic winged dog and started to hug it.

"Aw! Where did you come from, little guy?" Sakura asked. Just then, a panel opened up from the mechanical dogs back and revealed a sci-fi styled hologram projector with a camera and audio system. Afterwards, the projector produced holograms of Zen Fudo, Crea Dolosera, Amata Sora, Mikono Suzushiro, Cayenne Suzushiro, Zessica Wong, Kagura Demuri, Andy W. Hole, Mix, Yunoha Thrul, Donar Dantes, and Suomi Konepi. This caused Sakura to jump up in shock. "Just when I thought this day couldn't get any weirder." Lisa muttered. "Oh! Looks like Mecha-Pollon made it through the rift between our dimensions without any problems!" Said Amata.

"Just what is going on here?" Lynn Sr. asked. "It's a long story, dad." Lincoln said. "One I do NOT have the time or patience to even think about hearing!" Aurachnid said. "Well, in that case, I'll give you a short explanation! This here is Mecha-Pollon, a robot modeled after the Winged Hound Pollon and also a communication device our dimension and yours!" Zen Fudo. "Cool!" Lincoln said. "Also, Mecha-Pollon will have the ability to transform into a triple-barreled crossbow-shaped cannon called the Trinity Buster! It will be welded by all three of you to help take down your enemies with a single blow!" Zen explained further. "Nice!" Clyde said. "Arigato, Commander Fudo, Senpai-tachi." Sakura said.

"You're welcome, everyone!" Said Mikono. "By the way, Jewel, are you and LL a couple already?" She asked "Yes, Mikono-sempai, Lincoln-kun and I are indeed a romantic couple!" Sakura answered. "Lincoln?" Mikono asked. "Oh, that's right! You don't know our actual names! My name is Sakura Hoseki! My boyfriend here is Lincoln Loud, LL's real identity! Next to him is Clyde McBride, Anansi's real identity, and his spider partner Aurachnid!" Sakura explained to Mikono. Then, Sakura introduced to her to everyone else in the base, including Master Toadus and Gorf. "Why'd you ask?" Sakura asked. "It kind of reminds of how Amata and I fell in love!" Mikono answered.

"AWWWWW!" Sakura gushed. "Which reminds me!" Amata said as three slots on Mecha Pollon's back opened up and shot out three envelopes that Sakura, Lincoln and Clyde caught. "You three are invited to come over to our dimension for our wedding, as soon as we build a portal device that can be safe for human travel!" Amata said. "Arigato, Sempai-tachi!" Sakura replied. "Say, Clyde, do you have a girlfriend of your own?" Andy asked. "I sure do! This is Chloe, we fell in love after after we found out about our similar interests towards baking desserts!" Clyde answered as he held Chloe's hand. "We haven't officially become a couple until Clyde and his friends rescued me after I was kidnapped by Shockwing!" Chloe said. "Who's Shockwing?" Andy asked.

"That's a story that's probably even longer than your story!" Aurachnid said as everyone started laughing. "I don't get it." Lynn Sr. said. "Anyways, I agreed to be Clyde's girlfriend, but on the condition that to never keep secrets from me again!" Chloe explained. "Yeah, she made it very clear about that after she found out my identity as a superhero!" Clyde shuddered. "You two are lucky to have each other!" Andy said. "That reminds me, Andy! Are you and Mix a couple yet?" Clyde asked. That comment made Andy and Mix blush a little before saying "Yes, we are now!". "Though it wasn't easy! We would like to tell you the details, but it might be long!" Mix said. "Thanks for being considerate!" Said Aurachnid. "By the way, Sakura, it's quite sweet that you and Lincoln are as close as Amata and I are when we fell in love!" Mikono said. "Thanks, Mikono-sempai!" Sakura. "Yeah, these two are so close, that they both slept together in the same bed one night ago!" Clyde blurted out, causing the Element users to gasp in shock. "Whoa! I didn't realize that you two were that bold!" Said Zessica in an impressed manner. "*WHISTLE!* You kids are lucky!" Said Andy. "How scandalous!" Mix shouted in horror! This caused Lincoln and Sakura to blush bright red and yell in embarrassment "CLYDE/CLYDE-KUN!". "I really need to keep my mouth shut about that." Clyde said. "You think? Even Akoma knew better than to gossip!" Aurachnid said.

"Well, all things aside, we do need to talk about the Tree of Life in King Draco's castle being the offspring of the one from your dimension!" Master Toadus said to Zen Fudo. "Indeed." Zen said. "For one thing, I wasn't even aware that fact to begin with! Especially when I took a look at the video and noticed how the Tree of Life in your dimension looks different from its offspring, which was brought to Earth by King Draco from our home planet Animari Prime!" Master Toadus explained. "If it's from a different planet, then it probably doesn't carry as much a risk as the one the Shadow Angels had." Zen Fudo said.

"That, and it probably adapted to the environment on planet Animari Prime when it started as a Genesis Fruit and grew there, which would explain how it's different in appearance from its predecessor!" Zen explained. "That, and it probably adapted to the environment on planet Animari when it started as a Genesis Fruit and grew there, which would explain how it's different in appearance from its predecessor!" Zen explained. "You're probably right." Toadus said. "Anyways, you all must be tired from your battle with Manticron, so we'll be ending this conversation! But before we do, I just want to say this to you all, Good Luck and Best Wishes in battles to come!" Zen said. "See you all later at the wedding!" Said Amata and Mikono right before the holograms disappeared and hologram projector retracted back inside of Mecha-Pollon, who then happily barked at Sakura.

"Well, this is definitely the most exciting day we've ever had!" Said Clyde while Sakura went and hugged Mecha-Pollon like any dog lover would. "True! Plus, I've always wanted a pet of my own and now I've got one!" Said Sakura as she then gently rubbed Mecha-Pollon's forehead. "Well then, let's all take a good rest after this long day!" Said Lincoln. "Good idea, Lincoln-kun!" Said Sakura. "I'm with you on that, buddy!" Said Clyde. "I could use a rest, myself!" Said Aurachnid. Everyone else in the base nodded in agreement.
