I Hope You Enjoy This Chapter, I Own Nothing, Co-Written By Halucigenia77!
At the Animarius Empire Castle, Cicadeath and Flygor were at the Dimension Gate, scrolling through the various worlds. As they were cycling, one of the Shadow Angel feathers still in the amber started reacting! At the same time, the device on the Dimension Gate had detected not one, not two, not three, not four, not five, not even six, but seven Animarius signatures. Cicadeath and Flygor saw this and immediately acted. "KING DRACO! FUTABA!" They called, running towards the throne room. Speaking of the throne room, King Draco and his allies were greeted by four new Animarius soldiers. The first one was male and was described as being somewhat dragon-like, having a serpentine body with hind legs like an antelope, a long snake-like tail, Lion-like arms and paws, a pair of large eagle wings on his back, and an eagle-like head with antelope horns and ears as well as having three uraei, the cobras seen on Pharaonic headdresses, set in a vertical row across his head (Akhexus). The second one was female and looks like a humanoid version of a Carrion Beetle that's colored mostly black with blood red stripe-like markings on her head, thorax, and elytron . Beetle forewings (Apshaita). The third one was also female and looks like an ash-grey-colored humanoid Egyptian cotton leafworm moth with four downy felt-textured wings that leave an ashy dust behind her and having a long sharp and deadly stinger located below her head above her proboscis (Kranokola). Finally, the fourth one was male and looks like a sand-colored humanoid horse, albeit with goat-like hooves and a prominent goat beard as well as a single long curved goat/oryx-like horn at the center of his forehead (Elisserios). Of course, the one thing all four Animarius had in common were that they all had the symbol of the Mythical Army on their left shoulders.
"Ah, Akhexus, Apshaita, Kranokola, Elisserios, so good to see you again!" King Draco said to the four. "Likewise, your majesty." The Dragon, named Akhexus said as the four bowed down just as Cicadeath and Flygor ran in, still calling for King Draco and Futaba frantically. Unfortunately, two Insect scientists accidentally ran into the four Mythical Animarius, causing them to get knocked down. "Watch it!" Apshaita said angrily. "Cicadeath, Flygor, you better have a good reason for this!" King Draco said. "You bet we do! We were just cycling through the other worlds via the Dimension Gate, when one of the extra feathers we took from that museum on Vega started reacting!" Cicadeath said excitedly. "Not only that, but the device we built to detect Animarius signatures picked up not one, but seven signatures in the very same world that made the feathers react!" Flygor said equally excited. "WHAT?!" King Draco and Futaba asked in shock. Johannes then grabbed the two by their throats. "Which of the feathers reacted?!" He asked menacingly. "The set that looks like beetle wings!" Cicadeath answered. "Those are Warrior Angel Moroha's feathers!" Shila realized.
"His spirit must be in the afterlife of that very world!" Lensi said. "And you say you picked up seven signatures?" King Draco asked. "That's right, sir!" Flygor said. "Excellent, we must organize a strike team at once!" King Draco decided. "Futaba, you'll lead this team!" He said. "My pleasure, Drako!" Futaba said. "I'll loan Mano and the Pyramid Dopant." Stephano said. "I'll get Jackalus, Basilosplash, and Arsinohorn out!" General Leo said. "I'll release Toxobra!" Ophiucus said. "I'll go ahead and bring in Mormyron!" Megalonis said. "I'll summon Thalassodreg, Deltadrome, and Carcharodontos!" Tyrannis said. "I'll go get Deltoad!" Terriblis said. "And I'll bring out Scaraboulder!" Goliathus said. "*Sigh!* Might as well include Ibiscus in this team!" Aquilis said reluctantly. "I think I'll call Foundation X to see if they can lend us some Zodiarts!" Akuji said. The four new arrivals discussed amongst themselves. "We'd like to volunteer for this strike force as well, your majesty!" Elisseiros said. "Really? Why is that?" King Draco asked with intrigue. "Well, we believe those seven Animarius signatures belong to our lost comrades!" Elisserios explained.
"Explain." King Draco said. "See, sometime during the 5,000 years that the Royal Guard has been traveling around the world and spreading mayhem everywhere we go, the eleven of us, consisting of myself, Apshaita, Kranokola, Elisserios, Shaos, Serpoparda, Hieracos, Crios, Phoenexus, Axcelsior, and Sakira, were in a place the humans called Egypt when, suddenly, and interdimensional rift opened up in front of us! Shaos, being the bold type, went into the rift first, followed by his girlfriend Serpoparda, and then Hieracos, Crios, Phoenexus, Axcelsior, and Sakira!" Akhexus explained. "The rest of us tried to follow them, but, unfortunately, due to an unexpected severe sandstorm slowing us down, the rift closed before we could even enter!" Kranokola explained. "I see, and you think they could be the reason for the signatures?" King Draco asked. "Undoubtedly!" Akhexus said. "Well either way, we need to investigate this, gather the soldiers you have in mind!" King Draco ordered. "Yes, your majesty!" They all said.
Later...
Everyone was in the room with the Dimension Gate. "I'll get Jackalus out!" General Leo said. "I'll release Toxobra!" Ophiucus said. "I'll go ahead and bring in Mormyron!" Megalonis said. "I'll summon Thalassodreg, Deltadrome, and Carcharodontos!" Tyrannis said. "I'll go get Deltoad!" Terriblis said. "And I'll bring out Scaraboulder!" Goliathus said. "*Sigh!* Might as well include Ibiscus in this team!" Aquilis said reluctantly. "I think I'll call Foundation X to see if they can lend us some Zodiarts!" Akuji said. Alongside Mano and the Pyramid Dopant, there were eleven new Animarius soldiers, specifically a male humanoid Golden Jackal with the symbol of the Mammal Army on his left shoulder (Jackalus), a male humanoid Basilosaurus (which actually a primitive extinct whale, not a dinosaur) with the symbol of the Mammal Army on his left shoulder (Basilosplash), a male humanoid Arsinoitherium (an extinct double-horned rhinoceros-like herbivore that's actually related to elephants) with the symbol of the Mammal Army on his left shoulder (Arsinohorn), a male humanoid Egyptian Cobra with the symbol of the Reptile Army on his left shoulder (Toxobra), a male humanoid Eastern Bottlenose a.k.a. Elephant Snout (species name: Mormyrus caschive, a species of Freshwater Elephantfish) with the symbol of the Fish Army on his left shoulder (Mormyron), a male humanoid Thalassodromeus (a species of Pterosaur) with big wings on his back and the symbol of the Dinosaur Army on his left shoulder (Thalassodreg), a female humanoid Deltadromeus (a theropod dinosaur) with the symbol of the Dinosaur Army on her left shoulder (Deltadrome), a male humanoid Carcharodontosaurus (another theropod dinosaur) with the symbol of the Dinosaur Army on his left shoulder (Carcharodontos), a male humanoid Nile Delta Toad with the symbol of the Amphibian Army on his left shoulder (Deltoad), a male humanoid Egyptian Scarab Beetle with the symbol of the Insect Army on his left shoulder (Scaraboulder), and a male humanoid African Sacred Ibis with wings on his back and the symbol of the Bird Army on his left shoulder (Ibiscus).
"Ah yes, these should do nicely. What about your buddies over at Foundation X?" Futaba asked Akuji as a portal opened up. "They're right here." He said. At once, several individuals, consisting of a male humanoid Giraffe with star patterns on his body (Camelopardalis), a male humanoid Red Fox with star patterns on his body (Vulpecula), a female humanoid Goose with star patterns on her body (Anser), a male humanoid Pangolin with star patterns on his body (Manis), a male insectoid with characteristics of a European Rhinoceros Beetle and star patterns covering his body (Scarabaeus), a metallic humanoid with a crest on his head shaped like a gnomon (the part of a sundial that casts a shadow) and a metal disk-shaped collar around his neck while having star patterns covering his body (Solarium), a female humanoid domestic cat (specifically a black cat) with star patterns on her body (Felis), a male humanoid with physical traits of an Earthworm and star patterns covering his body (Lumbricus), a male humanoid that looks like a monstrous version of a stereotypical Farmer/Harvest Keeper, complete with a farmer's hat (with a laurel wreath wrapped around it) on his head, a cane in his left hand, and a Sickle in his right hand, and had star patterns covering his body (Custos Messium), a towering male humanoid made of tan stone that had a projection on top of his head that's shaped like a Lighthouse lens and having Gamma-Ray patterns on his body (Pharos), a towering male humanoid made of white stone with a pyramid/obelisk-shaped head and Gamma-Ray patterns covering his body (Obelisk), and a muscular male armored humanoid with large red shoulder armor shaped like the Golden Gate Bridge and having Gamma-Ray patterns covering his body (Golden Gate).
"And you are?" Mano asked. "And you are?" Mano asked. "The Giraffe constellation, Camelopardalis!" Camelopardalis said. "The Fox constellation, Vulpecula!" Vulpecula said. "The Goose constellation, Anser!" Anser said. "The Pangolin constellation, Manis!" Manis said. "The European Rhinoceros Beetle constellation, Scarabaeus!" Scarabaeus said. "The Sundial constellation, Solarium!" Solarium said. "The Cat constellation, Felis!" Felis said. "The Earthworm constellation, Lumbricus!" Lumbricus said. "The Harvest Keeper constellation, Custos Messium!" Custos Messium said. "The Lighthouse Gamma Constellation, Pharos!" Pharos said. "The Obelisk Gamma constellation, Obelisk!" Obelisk said. "The Golden Gate Bridge Gamma Constellation, Golden Gate!" Golden Gate finished. "There's a Golden Gate Bridge constellation?" Mano asked in confusion. "It's a Gamma Ray Constellation, but yes." Golden Gate said.
"And what kind of a name is Pharos?" The Pyramid Dopant asked in confusion. "My Gamma-Ray constellation is named and modeled after Pharos of Alexandria, the most famous lighthouse in antiquity and one of the Seven Wonders of the Ancient World!" Pharos explained."And what kind of a name is Pharos?" The Pyramid Dopant asked in confusion. "My Gamma-Ray constellation is named and modeled after Pharos of Alexandria, the most famous lighthouse in antiquity and one of the Seven Wonders of the Ancient World!" Pharos explained. "Unfortunately, it was destroyed in a series of earthquakes." He admitted. "Although, in 1994, some underwater archaeologists managed to locate some of its remains!" He added. "Interesting." Mano said. "Alright, everyone, let's get going!" Futaba said. "This device will lead you to where the signatures of the Animarius in question originate from." Cicadeath said, handing Futaba said device. "And Moroha's feathers will lead you to where he is." Lenshi explained. He then handed Futaba the set of Moroha's feathers still in amber.
"Excellent, let's get going!" Futaba said as the strike force then entered the portal, soon arriving in the other world atop a building. Mano then pulled out a pair of binoculars. "As I'm seeing Fisherman's Wharf, Alcatraz Island, and the Golden Gate Bridge, I think it's safe to assume we're in this world's version of San Francisco." He said. "Yeah, and from the looks of it, I think this version of Earth might be set in the late 90's!" Manos said upon looking around. "Hey, look over there!" The Pyramid Dopant said, pointing everyone to a giant replica of the Sphinx from Giza, Egypt. "A replica of the Great Sphinx of Giza? That certainly never existed in our version of San Francisco!" Mano noted. "Isn't that your ex-girlfriend? The one that left you for General Leo?" Apshaita asked Akhexus jokingly, making him groan. "Why Sphinxia chose that blowhard over me is beyond me!" Akhexus complained. "I HEARD THAT!" General Leo angrily yelled through the comm link, frightening Akhexus.
"And she needed a better male is all! And I was able to provide that need, I was even able to get her pregnant before all of you left! Unfortunately, those no good children betrayed us!" He said. "Wait, seriously, you had children with Sphinxia?!" Akhexus asked in shock. "Yeah, Cerberion and I were surprised too!" Leo said with a chuckle. "Hey, come to think of it, where is Sphinxia now? We haven't seen her in a very long time!" Kranokola asked. "Unfortunately, some pests we've been dealing with defeated her in battle, and my traitorous children helped them!" Leo said angrily. Akhexus, Apshaita, Kranokola, and Elisserios gasped in shock at that. As this was going on, Futaba was moving the items around. "I'm not getting much reaction from Moroha's feathers, but a small reaction from the Animarius signatures, Cicadeath Flygor, are you sure they both reacted to this world?" Futaba asked via the comm link.
"Of course we are sure!" Cicadeath and Flygor responded. "Well, I'm picking up two signatures in that pyramid over there!" Futaba said, pointing to a large blue pyramid on the horizon. "Huh, another building not found in our version of San Francisco!" Mano noted. "Let's investigate!" Futaba decided as they all went to the pyramid.
Meanwhile...
At the Sphinx, a young twelve-year-old boy (who had wavy brown hair with dark tan skin and wearing a yellowish long-sleeved vest with a white T-shirt underneath, a pair of green shorts, a pair of white socks, and a pair of red-and-yellow sneakers as well as a golden rectangular amulet (engraved with the Eye of Ra symbol) worn around his neck and a red backpack on his back) was riding on skateboard towards the Sphinx, which suddenly opened up its mouth very wide to reveal a hidden entrance and ramp that the boy ran up to. Once inside, the boy went to a secret Ancient Egyptian-themed base, where he meets up with four living greyish-blue-skinned Mummies covered in beige bandages, consisting of three male and one female wearing color-coded skirts and loin cloths (specifically blue, green, and purple for the three respective males and red for the sole female), with the first male having bandages covering most of his face, except for his eyes and mouth, the second male having his face fully uncovered while wearing a green-and-gold Egyptian royal headdress on his head and a green wrist gauntlet on his right arm, the third male being bulky and having his fully uncovered while having bandages fully cover the top of his head and he clearly had no right arm, and the sole female had her whole head fully uncovered with long whitish hair flowing from the top of her head. Of course, the Mummies were also wearing different golden amulets around their necks, a falcon-themed one with a blue gem for the first male, a cobra-themed one with a green gem for the second male, a Ram's head-shaped one with a purple gem for the third male, and cat's head-shaped one with a red gem for the sole female. "Guys! I'm here! Man you will not believe this crazy guy I saw in town today!" The boy said as a black cat with bandages wrapped around her body approached the boy and started rubbing on his leg. "Oh, Khati! *Chuckle!* Stop! That tickles!" The boy said while laughing a little bit.
"Did you get the stuff?" The large male with one arm asked. "Yep, right here, Armon!" The boy said, giving the mummy a to go bag. "Mmm! Beefy Burger!" The one-armed Mummy, now identified as Armon, said before pulling out a burger from the bag and started devouring it. "So, what's going on in town, young prince?" The mummy with bandages covering most of his face asked. "This crazy guy in a trenchcoat keeps blabbering on about some 'Destroyer of worlds'." The boy answered. "Destroyer of worlds? Who could possibly fit that description?" The headdress-wearing Mummy asked. "Well he was handing out posters, telling people to be warned of the one calling himself 'Decade'." The boy said, handing a poster depicting Kamen Rider Decade. "The Destroyer of Worlds looks like a guy wearing a suit resembling a pink-and-black striped bug?" The female Mummy asked in confusion. "You don't think he could be an agent of Scarab, do you?" Armon asked.
"Honestly, I don't really know!" The boy said. "Come to think of it, Scarab's been awfully quiet lately." The mummy with bandages covering his face noted. "Yeah, it's like after we defeated Arakh, he ran out of good ideas, even that plot he had when Rath got captured by those agents was tame, and we haven't heard a word out of him since." The female mummy noted, making the headdress wearing mummy, apparently named Rath, shiver at that memory. "Don't remind me! I was going to be dissected those cretins after they thought I was an actual space alien!" Rath said bitterly. "Nefertina has a point, though, all Scarab did was take those strange medallions." The lead mummy noted. "Strange medallions?" The boy asked in confusion. "Indeed, they were these strange golden medallions, each with a different animal inscribed on them." Rath explained. "What kind of animals?" The boy asked.
"Apparently one of them has the image of a Sha, a chaotic dog-like beast associated with Set! In fact, Set apparently used to have a head like a Sha, though I don't know why he now has a head like a regular dog instead of that animal! As for the other one, it had the image of a Serpopard, a half-leopard half-snake creature!" Rath explained. "Both of Egyptian folklore, I'm guessing?" The boy asked, to which they nodded. "If Scarab has them, we know it can't be good." The lead mummy said.
Meanwhile...
In the pyramid from before, an old man wearing purple and gold robes, carrying a cobra themed staff, was chanting some sort of magic spell, causing the lights to flicker. Finishing his chanting, the man slammed the bottom of his staff down, expecting something, only for no reaction from the two Soul Cores matching Rath's description. "Nothing." The snake that is the staff said. That made the old man angry and frustrated. "Why did you even steal these things in the first place, Scarab? You don't even know what they are!" The snake pointed out. "I thought that they would be of use to me, considering that I can feel something from these medallions!" The old man, now identified as Scarab, retorted. "Sounds like you're no ordinary human, too bad you don't know what you're doing!" Futaba's voice called out tauntingly. "Who's There?! Show Yourself!" Scarab demanded angrily. "I must say thank you for finding these Soul Cores, really saves my friends and I a lot of trouble." Futaba said, landing and picking up the two medallions. "Friends?" Scarab asked in confusion. "Not like it matters." Futaba said as growling could be heard as a medium-sized creature resembling a mix of a Crocodile, Lion, and Hippopotamus rushed at Futaba, only for him to telekinetically toss the creature into the wall.
When the creature recovered, he ran away whimpering. "Just what are you?" Scarab asked. "I go by a few names, the Child Angel, bane of humanity, Kamen Rider Tetra, but you may call me Futaba, and I will be taking these, thank you very much." Futaba said. "Oh really?" Scarab asked as a swarm of giant humanoids in stereotypical Egyptian garb rushed in before Scarab ripped off his robes, donning a set of beetle themed armor. "You and what army?" He asked. "The one that's currently demolishing your army." Futaba said, pointing behind Scarab to the strike force who were effortlessly demolishing Scarab's soldiers. The snake then noticed something. "Scarab, look!" She said, gesturing to the Animarius soldiers. "They're wearing Medallions just like those!" She pointed out. "They are?" Scarab asked in surprise. "Hey, what's the deal with these medallions, anyway?" Scarab asked Futaba. "Might as well tell you, these are Soul Cores, each one contains the soul of a member of the Animarius race, when placed in a fruit of the Animarius Tree of Life, said Animarius is revived." Futaba explained.
"Someone tells me that this Animarius Tree of Life is quite different from the Tree of Life that I once hired Bes to get for me so that would try to rejuvenate myself. *Shudder!* What a big horrible mistake that plot was!" Scarab said before shuddering at the memory of the whole 'Tree of Life Incident'. "And who could forget the time you tried to frame Rapses for waking Geb up, or the time you summoned Nuhn in an effort to find the Fountain of Youth?" The Snake said. "*Groan!* How can I ever forget those fiascos, especially Nuhn?! He even failed to capture Prince Rapses for me!" Scarab complained. "Well, anyway, we'd better get going, we have five more Animarius signatures and Moroha to track down!" Futaba said as he and the others prepared to leave when Scarab got an idea. "Futaba, was it? Would it be too much trouble to make a little deal?" Scarab asked.
"Deal? What kind of a deal?" Futaba asked. "Allow me to introduce myself, I am Scarab, this is my familiar Heka, the creature you tossed into the wall earlier is Ahmut. Many millenia ago, in Egypt, I was the trusted advisor of the Pharoah Ahmenhotep, but I wanted more, I wanted power, I wanted immortality!" Scarab started explaining. "So, I eventually came up with a plan, an idea that once Amenhotep died, I would use magic in order to stay young and rule Egypt forever as its new and only Pharaoh! However, only one thing stood in my way, Amenhotep's only son Prince Rapses, as he could easily take the throne from me once he grows old enough, and with his four guardians Ja-Kal, Rath, Armon, and Nefertina, the last one apparently had apparently disguised herself as a man named Nefer just so she could drive chariots, protecting him, my plan to rule Egypt wouldn't be very easy! Fortunately, my plan would take be able to take care of both problems, since, order to stay young, I needed the soul of a prince, and Rapses was the perfect victim! So, one night, I tricked Rapses into believing his father returned from Nubia, took him away from his palace and into the middle of the desert and then right up to a mountain top without his guardians, where I successfully killed Rapses and then sucked out his life force and spirit, giving me youth and immortality! Not only that, but with the help of Ja-Kal's evil brother Arakh and my army of Shabtis, the Prince's guardians fell in battle after arriving too late to stop me!" He added.
"But unfortunately, Ahmenhotep captured me and imprisoned me, there the immortality became a curse, where I spent millennia in that prison, only to be accidentally freed by a man named Harrison Stone, who I then killed and stole his identity." Scarab explained. "Unfortunately, I later learned that my youth and immortality aren't as permanent as I had thought, so, over the years, under Harris Stone's identity, I used my skills and knowledge to get me hands on anything ancient that could help me restore my vitality, and I became a wealthy millionaire in the process! Eventually, I had discovered that Prince Rapses's spirit would be reincarnated, and that this was my chance to become young again, by finding the reincarnation of Rapses and taking his spirit again!" He added. "Unfortunately, before I could, Ja-Kal, Rath, Armon, and Nefertina rose up again using a powerful magic, and using powers they get from Ra, they have thwarted every single plot I have had tried to use to capture Rapses!" He said in annoyance. "What's your point?" Futaba asked. "Here's what I'm offering, you capture Rapses and bring him to me, and I'll help you find your friends." Scarab offered.
"Okay, then, but if this Prince Rapses is reincarnated, doesn't he have a new name that he goes by in his current life?" Futaba asked. "I mean, we have two enemies who were reincarnated, but don't have their previous names." He pointed out. "I believe I once heard his name is Presley, but I never really gotten his last name!" Scarab noted. "Any way of finding where he is?" Mano asked. "Unfortunately, he wears a special magic amulet that shields him from my scrying spells as any other ways other than directly looking at him. But, if you can find his guardians, chances are, you'll find him." Scarab instructed. Scarab then summoned a screen depicting the four mummies. "Ophanimaton!" Futaba said as said robot Ophan (eye-covered wheel-within-a-wheel shaped Angel) hovered above his arm. "Seek." Futaba ordered, pointing to the screen. "Yes, Master Futaba!" Ophanimaton responded obediently. Before leaving the pyramid, starting to scour the city before coming across the Sphinx from earlier. "I wonder." Ophanimaton said to himself before noticing a manhole cover.
Conveniently, it was uncovered. Ophanimaton then flew in, soon arriving at a secret chamber, where the mummies and Presley were training. "Targets found." Ophanimaton said, finding a spot to hide before activating a tracker that Futaba had. "Looks like our targets have been found." Futaba said before pulling out a comm link. "Drako, I found two of the soul cores and this old guy is offering to help find Moroha and the other five signatures, we just need to help him find some brat, we think we found him, but apparently he has bodyguards, I need some Neo-Lizardons, some Dustards, and a portal gun." Futaba said. "Very well, but don't hand the kid over until Moroha and all seven Animarius signatures are confirmed, and if he tries anything funny, take the kid and..." King Draco said, performing the slit throat gesture and noise. "Very well understood, Drako!" Futaba replied. He then hung up. "I hope you heard that, Scarab, no funny business." Futaba said.
"Okay, fine, but who is this Drako that you were just talking to?" Scarab asked. "That's King Draco to you!" Akhexus warned. "He's our glorious leader of the Animarius Empire!" Elisserios said. "Although I don't understand why you get a free pass with addressing him without his title." Apshaita noted. "Drako, Stephano, and I go way back, we don't need fancy titles with each other." Futaba answered. "He's right." Stephano said over the comm link. "But, how so?" Kranokola asked in confusion.
Enough Time To Explain Everything Later...
"And after using our feathers to revive my Shadow Angel Kin, I am ready to exact my revenge on the human race!" Futaba explained. That made everyone gasp in shock. "Yeah, anyway, let's get going!" Futaba said as they left. "I didn't think it was possible, but these people are crazier than you!" Heka told Scarab. "For once, Heka, you might be right!" Scarab noted. "Yeah. Hey!" Heka said.
Meanwhile...
"So what are your plans for your upcoming thirteenth birthday, Presley?" Nefertina asked. "Well..." Presley started saying, only for a part of the wall of the chamber to blow, sending bricks everywhere. "Looks like the guests have arrived early! And they brought really strange toys for your presents!" Armon said as Neo-Lizardons and Dustards stormed in, the Neo-Lizardons firing lasers from their fingers, wrecking the place. "I don't think those are party guests or toys, Armon!" Presley said worriedly. "What are these things?" Rath asked as a Dustard pointed to Presley. "I don't know, but I think they want Presley!" Nefertina said. "Over our undead bodies!" Ja-Kal said. "With the strength of Ra!" The four mummies declared.
Morphing Sequence
First, Ja-Kal crossed his arms as his falcon-themed amulet glowed before uncrossing them to allow his amulet to release a fiery phoenix-like falcon spirit that flew over him and merged behind him to form his falcon-themed armor.
Next, Rath did some snake-like movements with his arms as his cobra-themed amulet glowed before he summoned a green energy cobra spirit that wrapped around him to form his cobra-themed armor.
Then, Armon did some martial arts-like poses with his only left arm while his ram's head-shaped amulet glowed and created a golden energy wave on the area were his right arm was missing before he then slammed it down to the ground, forming a golden armored prosthetic arm and ram-themed armor.
Finally, Nefertina did some heroic poses while her cat's head-shaped amulet glowed, right before she jumped up as her amulet covered her in light that formed her cat-themed armor and summoned her signature whip as she landed on the ground superhero style with her right clawed hand gripping the floor.
"Let's kick Tut!" Armon said as they started fighting the Neo-Lizardons and Dustards. As the battle was going on, Futaba was watching from afar. "Interesting." He said as Armon smashed two Neo-Lizardons together while Rath transformed his head into that of a snake and bit a Dustard, causing it to turn into space dust. Almost immediately, Rath changed his head back to normal as he spat out the space dust from his mouth in disgust. "Just what are these things?" He asked. "Whatever they are, they're a lot uglier than Scarab's Shabti!" Nefertina said, striking several with her whip while Ja-Kal sliced them apart with his talons. Even Khati, who changed into an almost lion-sized Lynx-like cat, went and destroyed a few of the footsoldiers with her claws and teeth. Even Presley got in on the action by tossing his signature three pointed boomerang, the Boomer-ra which sliced through the enemies. "I never thought I'd say this, but I wish it was Scarab we were facing right now!" He said.
Soon, they were all dealt with, leaving the four mummies panting in exhaustion. "I'm going to need a serious recharge after that." Nefertina said. "Me too!" Armon said. However, the sound of slow clapping could be heard. "Impressive, I can see why Scarab has such a hard time with you guys." Futaba said as he made himself known. "Who are you?" Presley asked in confusion. "I am the Child Angel Futaba." Futaba said. "Angel? Does anyone know what that is?" Armon asked in confusion. "Not me!" Nefertina said. "Never heard of such a thing!" Rath said. "I'm afraid I don't know either!" Ja-Kal said. "They're supposed to be spiritual beings, usually looking like humans with wings on their backs, acting as attendants of God, it's a different religion from what you guys are used to." Presley explained. "Yes, but I'm a little different, I'm what's known as a Shadow Angel, my people hate humans, find them to be the inferior little insects they are, just waiting to be crushed by us!" Futaba explained, proving his point by crushing a cockroach in his bare hand. "Though I hate them even moreso, since I was once captured by humans and they killed me while stealing my feathers!" He added angrily.
"You look alive to me." Nefertina said. "Details, details, it's not important. What is important is that we..." Futaba said as the rest of the strike force stormed in. "Are here for him!" Futaba explained, pointing to Presley. "Oh, great! Looks like Scarab has hired some new weirdos to go after me!" Presley said sarcastically before facepalming. "I mean seriously, are those two dressed like a Lighthouse and the Golden Gate Bridge?" He asked, gesturing to said Zodiarts. "Yeah, these aren't costumes, kid!" Pharos said. "Well either way, if you want Presley, you're going to have to go through us!" Ja-Kal said as he and the other three jumped in front of Presley. "I was hoping you'd say that." Futaba said, strapping his driver on.
Tetra Driver!
After that, the Ophanimaton hovered right next to Futaba. "Henshin!" Futaba called, loading Ophanimaton into his driver. He then slammed his right fist down onto the four-faced dial on the top of his driver, causing the closed up eye-covered wings on the center of the driver to open up like a gate and reveal the Ophanimaton in the center that immediately spun around like an armillary sphere.
Knight Mode, Activate!
That also caused Futaba to be surrounded by two huge golden eye-covered rings while an ethereal version of a Tetramorph a.k.a. Cherub flew around him before wrapping its four wings around him and turned into pure energy particles that merged with him and morphed into his own Rider suit, completing his transformation.
(*~Medeval Music!~*) Rise up! Sword out! Fight on! Kamen Rider Tetra, Knight Mode! (*Sword Swishing!*)
The mummies gasped at this. "What kind of magic is that?" Armon asked. "It's...um, far too complicated to explain right now." Rath said. "You know, I'm just now realizing that when you say that, it means you have no idea either." Nefertina said as Futaba pulled out his sword. "Hand over the boy, or things will get ugly!" Futaba declared. "Like I said before, over our undead bodies!" Ja-Kal angrily retorted. Armon then charged, only for Futaba to raise his free hand and lift the large mummy with his telekinesis. "You know what they say, brains beat brawn." Futaba said as he flicked his hand, sending Armon crashing into the wall, forcing him out of his transformation. "Armon!" The mummies all said in fright. "Anyone else?" Futaba asked as the strike force all took fighting stances. "That fight against those soldiers must have taken more energy out of you guys than we thought!" Presley said.
"No kidding!" Nefertina said. "Of course it did! Why do you think I sent that many?" Futaba asked as Ja-Kal growled. "Rath, help me get Armon up, Nefertina, you and Presley get the Hot Ra started and load up the Sarcophagi!" Ja-Kal ordered. "Right away, Ja-Kal!" Rath said as he and Ja-Kal ran over Armon and started working together to pick him up. Soon, they were all speeding out of the Sphinx in their purple and gold sports car, the Hot Ra. "Cute." Futaba said, changing the setting on his driver. "They think they can get away." He said as the dial changed from knight to eagle. He then slammed his down on the dial.
Eagle Mode, Activate!
Once that happened, the green eyes of his Knight Mode's face faded down as his whole helmet turned counterclockwise twice to allow the White Eagle-like face to take the front spot and have its blue eyes glow while the eagle talon-like structures that were usually folded onto the front and back of the leg armor started unfolding themselves out onto the front and back of his feet, making them look like eagle feet. After that, the four wings on his back spread out and fully displayed their feathers ala Kamen Rider Build's GattlingHawk form.
(*~Epic Hard Rock Music~*) Wings Up! Talons Out! Fly High! Kamen Rider Tetra, Eagle Mode! (*Eagle Screeching!*)
"Ibiscus, with me!" Futaba said, using his wings to follow the mummies. "Okay!" The Ibis Animarius, known as Ibiscus, said as he spread out his wings and followed Futaba in the air. "Oh man, Scarab's really done it this time, these people are crazier than him!" Presley said worriedly. "Yeah, not to mention that we really don't know much about them or where Scarab even got them from!" Nefertina said. Suddenly an energy arrow narrowly missed the Hot Ra, making everyone look up to see Futaba and Ibiscus, with Futaba holding a bow with another energy arrow ready to fire. "You can run, but you can't hide!" He said, unleashing the arrow. "Is it that Shadow Angel guy again? His helmet face looks different!" Armon said in confusion.
"He must have some ability to change form!" Presley said as the arrow struck the dome, causing cracks to start appearing. "We need to get to safety, somewhere!" Ja-Kal said. "I don't think we could make it to Presley's house with Tweety up there chasing us and shooting arrows, we'll have to find somewhere else!" Nefertina said as Presley noticed Harris Stone's Pyramid on the horizon. "There!" He said, gesturing to the secret hideout of their arch nemesis, at least unknown to them. "It's the best option we've got right now!" Ja-Kal said as Nefertina turned in a direction that would take them there, which Futaba noticed and chuckled to himself. "Hey, Scarab! You're not going to believe this, but it looks like they're headed straight towards you!" Futaba said over the comm link. "Is that so?" Scarab asked slyly. "Oh no, I know that look." Heka said. As this was going on, the Hot Ra drove straight through the doors of the Pyramid into Scarab's thankfully uninhabited front room! "I sure hope we can figure out a way to explain this to Mr. Stone without seeming too crazy!" Presley said worriedly. "No need to explain anything, young man." A voice said as everyone turned to see an old man.
Specifically, he had hair that was black in the middle and white at the sides and he was wearing a black tuxedo with a white shirt underneath as well as a purple necktie, white dress pants, and black dress shoes. "Mr. Stone! I, uh, I can explain." Presley said. "Don't worry, Presley, I know everything, in fact I've known about your friends here for quite some time, and of the danger you are currently facing, but if you come with me, you'll be safe." Mr. Stone assured. "Whew! Thank You, Mr. Stone!" Presley said. "We greatly appreciate this." Ja-Kal said. "Yeah, these people are crazy! Just look at what they did to our ride!" Armon said, gesturing to the damaged Hot Ra. "Well, don't worry, you're safe." Mr. Stone said, pressing his hand against a portion of the wall, causing it to open up revealing a staircase. "These stairs lead to a secret room only my bodyguards and I know the existence of and can access. We'll be safe there." He said.
"Glad to know, Mr. Stone! So, may we bring our Sarcophagi inside? We need a serious recharge after fighting all of those monsters back there!" Ja-Kal asked politely. "Of course." Mr. Stone said, clapping his hands together as four armed guards descended down the stairs, picked up the sarcophagi, and walked back up, the mummies and Presley following as Mr. Stone cast a sly grin unseen by them.
Upstairs...
Everyone was in the room as the guards set the Sarcophagi down. "So you said you've known about us for quite some time?" Rath asked. "Not only that, but I'm afraid I'm responsible for the mess you've been involved in for the past year." Mr. Stone admitted. "What? But how?" Presley asked in confusion. "The year was 1928, I was on an expedition in Egypt, there I came across a tomb, inscribed on the sealed entrance was a warning, but I refused to heed it." Mr. Stone started explaining. "The moment I broke the seal and opened the tomb door, I was warned by one of the locals, named Yussef, not to go into it, saying that it was cursed! However, due to my overwhelming curiosity and my disbelief in curses, I ignored him and entered the tomb without any regard to the consequences that would occur!" He added. "There, I met him." Mr. Stone admitted. "Him? Wait, are you saying you're the one who freed Scarab from his prison?" Ja-Kal asked in shock. "Indeed, in fact, not only am I the one who freed him..." Mr. Stone said, tearing off his clothes revealing none other than Scarab himself! "I am him!" Scarab revealed.
Everyone gasped in sheer horror, especially Presley. "But if you're Scarab, then where's the real Harris Stone?!" Presley asked in shock as the Ghost Dopant started rising up behind him. "Last I checked, he, or rather what's left of him, was still in my former prison." Scarab admitted. "But, that means..." Presley said in horror. "That's right, the moment he entered my prison, I killed Harris Stone and stole his identity for my own purposes!" Scarab admitted as the Ghost Dopant grabbed Presley! "Presley! Let him go, Scarab!" Ja-Kal demanded as the rest of the strike force came out of the shadows. "Oh, I'm afraid you don't have much room to be making demands, Ja-Kal, after all, you said it yourself, you need to recharge." Scarab said. "And to make sure you don't interfere any further." Futaba said, firing the portal gun at the mummies' feet, opening a portal that they and Khati started falling in. "Guys!" Presley said in worry. "Have fun in a world that's not your own!" Futaba taunted.
"And just because I have no need of them, Shabties, throw the Sarcophagi down the portal too! If they don't crush the Mummies, the fall would most likely damage them beyond repair!" Scarab ordered as the four bodyguards revealed themselves to be Shabties before they went and threw the Mummies' Sarcophagi down the portal one-by-one. As the last of them fell through, the portal closed. "NO!" Presley cried. "At last, immortality is mine!" Scarab said, approaching Presley. "Hold it, Scarab, Drako gave us explicit instructions to not give the boy to you until your end of the bargain is fulfilled!" Futaba reminded Scarab. "Oh, right! Thanks for reminding me!" Scarab said before facepalming. "So, which should we search for first, the remaining five Animarius from our group or Moroha?" Kranokola asked. "Well, I have a good idea of where your friend Moroha may be." Scarab said. "Where?" Futaba asked. "A realm beyond the Western Gate." Heka said. "Explain." Futaba said.
"It's an otherworldly realm where spirits like the Egyptian Gods and monsters reside, and also doubles as a sort of afterlife for Egyptians!" Scarab explained. "There's an entrance under the Golden Gate Bridge, but it is only visible to those of Egyptian descent." Heka said. "Furthermore, it is only accessible at night or during a Solar Eclipse, and as you can see." Scarab said pointing out the window where everyone could see night was still a good ten hours away. "Neither of those options are available at the moment." Scarab said. "*SIGH!* Then, I guess we should find the five remaining Animarius in this world!" Futaba said in slight frustration. "But where can they be? The device we're using to detect Animarius signatures is only managed to find the Soul Cores of our friends Shaos and Serpoparda, but remaining five are nowhere near here!" Apshaita asked. "Maybe we should try asking those two once we revive them!" Elisserios suggested. "Excellent idea!" Futaba said. "Drako, I need two fruits from the Tree of Life!" Futaba said over the comm link before looking at Presley. "As for you." He said, trapping Presley in a magic bubble. "You'll stay there until further notice!" Futaba said. This made Presley upset to the point banging his fists against the inside of the bubble, though it just won't pop no matter how hard he tried.
Meanwhile...
The Mummies and Khati found themselves in an alley. "Is everyone okay?" Ja-Kal asked. "*GROAN!* I think that fall hurt my head!" Armon complained in mild pain. "Define okay." Nefertina said. "I am relatively fine." Rath said. "Good, now that that's settled, I CAN'T BELIEVE THIS HAPPENED AGAIN!" Ja-Kal said, punching a wall out of frustration. That made the rest of Mummies feel concerned. "We already failed to protect Rapses, now we failed to protect Presley, some guardians we've turned out to be." Ja-Kal said regretfully. "Meow." Khati said, trying to comfort Ja-Kal. Just then everyone heard a whistling sound. "Uh oh." Everyone said as they avoided the falling sarcophagi that landed on the ground with a thud, causing damage to them. "At least he had the decency to send these through." Nefertina said. "Unfortunately, the impact of the fall has apparently damaged them quite severely!" Rath said upon seeing the damage done to the sarcophagi.
"Great, as if we didn't have enough problems. Where did that Futaba guy send us, anyway?" Ja-Kal said. "I think he said 'Have fun in a world that's not your own'." Armon said. "Uh, guys, I think I might have an idea on the meaning of that, because I don't think we're in San Francisco anymore!" Nefertina said she directed everyone out of the alley. There, they saw that the place was none other than Great Lakes City. "Definitely not San Francisco." Armon said. "I'm afraid our situation may be worse than we think, Futaba said 'a world not your own', and I'm starting to think he was referring to more than the city." Rath said. "Wait, are you saying we're on a different planet or something?" Nefertina asked. "Either that or an alternate version of ours." Rath suggested. "Is that even possible?" Armon asked in confusion.
"Honestly, after what we've experienced today, I'm not entirely sure what's not." Rath said. Just then, Khati sensed something, turned around, and growled angrily. "Khati, what's wrong?" Nefertina asked before more the Mummies all turned around and saw the Street Cats growling at them. "At least wherever we are has cats." Armon said. "Yes, but I'm afraid these cats don't seem to like us intruding on their territory!" Rath said. Fortunately, Khati scared the cats off by changing into her battle form and growling at them. The sight of the suddenly larger cat sent the alley cats screeching and running. "Whoa! Thanks, Khati! Those cats would have us all scratched mercilessly!" Nefertina said. "Now then, we need to figure out exactly where we are." Ja-Kal said as a sudden wind gust blew a newspaper in his face. At once, he grabbed the newspaper with his hands and removed it from his face. And fortunately, it had Great Lakes City in bold letters on the top. "Apparently we're in some place called Great Lakes City." Ja-Kal said.
"Great Lakes City? Why is called that?" Armon asked in confusion. Everyone just shrugged. "So, anything else on that newspaper?" Armon asked. "Hey, wait a minute, isn't that that guy from the poster Presley showed us?" Nefertina said, pointing out that on the front page was an article about the Kamen Riders, Lucharangers, and Alchemeister, with everyone featured. "It appears so, but I don't know the rest of these people!" Ja-Kal noted. Suddenly, screaming could be heard as they noticed several people running away. "That can't be good!" Armon said. The mummies then went the direction where they saw the people running away from, soon finding the Lucharangers fighting a swarm of Demi Diablos. "Just the small fries today, huh? Weak!" Becky said, slamming two Demi Diablos together. "Focus, Becky!" Ronnie Anne said, blasting several Demi Diablos with lightning.
As that happened, Par was using his super speed to knock down several more Demi Diablos, until he stopped as he heard a woman's voice calling out his name in a seductive manner. "Par?" The voice called. "Uh, hello?" Par asked. He then followed the voice until he saw what appears to be a beautiful looking black-haired tan-skinned woman wearing an aquamarine robe over a white dress waiting near the lake. "Come here, cutie." The woman said. "Oh, sorry, but I have a Girlfriend." Par said, realizing what the woman was trying to do. "Oh, I'm not here to date you!" The woman said before grabbing Par by the arms. "I'm here to drown you!" She declared as instantly changed, in a flash, into a curvaceous female humanoid demon made out of flowing water, with long flowing hair made out of foam and fish fin-like wings on her back. "What the heck?!" Par asked in confusion before the she-demon knocked his helmet off and dragged him down into the water. "Par!" Ronnie Anne said with worry upon seeing that before using her powers over water to force Par and the water woman out of the lake.
"Par, are you okay?" Ronnie Anne asked as Par coughed up some water. "Yeah, I'm fine." Par said as he put his helmet back on. "Jax?" Ronnie Anne asked, gesturing to the water woman. "That's Naddhala, a Pecadiablo based on En-Naddāha, an Egyptian naiad-like female spirit who calls men to the Nile, usually causing them to get hypnotized, leading to their death or disappearance, most likely by her either drowning or devouring them!" Jaxondor explained. "So, who's army is she from?" Sid asked. "Envidia's." Jaxondor explained. This caused the male mummies to shudder in fright at the stories they've heard of the En-Naddaha while Nefertina noticed something and chuckled. "Whoever these people are, there are more girls here than there are boys." She noted. "Not to mention that the purple one is the leader!" She added. "What?" Ja-Kal said before counting and seeing there were 11 girls to 10 guys and LuchaPurple was acting like a leader. "You're right, Nefertina! This is rather weird!" Ja-Kal noted. "Too bad we haven't recharged yet." Armon noted.
"Too bad we haven't recharged yet." Armon noted. "Sounds like you four are in quite the pickle." AkaRed said as he and Mambana made themselves known to the mummies. "Sounds like you four are in quite the pickle." AkaRed said as he and Mambana made themselves known to the mummies. "I'm AkaRed, this is Mambana, yes, she's a giant snake, but don't worry, she's friendly, unless you're one of those demons, we're friends of the people in spandex." AkaRed explained. "Does anyone else notice the snake has the same medallion that some of those soldiers from earlier had?" Armon asked, noticing Mambana's Soul Core. "I see you've had a run in with some of my kind, but I assure you, I do not associate myself with any Animarius who follow King Draco's orders." Mambana said. "Who is this King Draco?" Ja-Kal asked. "The ruthless, unrelenting, evil leader of the Animarius Empire, he rules with an iron fist and his sword, the Shi no Gutai Ka, which in English means, Embodiment of Death." Mambana explained.
That made the Mummies gasp in shock. "Yes, well anyway, we picked up the dimensional disturbance that brought you four here and after hearing what you said, are willing to help! In fact, we've already got some friends coming their way here to bring in your sarcophagi to our base, so that an ally of ours can restore and upgrade them." AkaRed said. "In fact, there they are now." AkaRed said, pointing to the Prinnies, who were currently carrying the sarcophagi. "These things are heavy, dood!" Eliott said. "Eh, I've carried heavier, dood." Zoroku said. "What kind of birds are they?" Armon asked in confusion. "Those are Prinnies, they're not normally found in this world or yours, they're the souls of humans that lead lives that aren't exactly, how do I put this?" AkaRed asked.
"I believe what AkaRed is trying to say is that Prinnies are originally humans who led worthless lives before they died and became Prinnies as punishment for the crimes they have committed in life, dood!" Derrick said. "What kind of crimes?" Rath asked. "Oh, pretty much every crime, including theft, murder, abuse, enslavement, ambitions for world domination, and even suicide to name a few, dood! In our cases, we were thieves in life, with Derrick here being a car thief, Elliott here being a jewel thief, and Zoroku and I being professional phantom thieves, though we never go as far as killing people, dood!" Arsene explained. "The only reason they're in this world is because they're chasing after a rogue Prinny who's allied with their enemies, the demons' bosses." AkaRed explained. That made the Mummies a bit confused. "Yeah, it's a long story." AkaRed said as the Vectors flew overhead before dropping the Kamen Riders Alchemeister, Andros, and Phixia.
"Hey, guys! Glad you made it!" Ronnie Anne said. "No problem, Ronnie Anne-chan!" Sakura said, stretching. "So, who are we dealing with here?" Lincoln asked. "According to Jax, some sort of Egyptian Siren Pecadiablo." Ronnie Anne explained. "Technically, I'm more of an Egyptian version of a naiad, a water elemental nymph, than a Siren!" Naddahala retorted. "Yeah, we don't care." Andros said. "Is anyone else seeing the two children that look like Sphinxes?" Armon asked. "That would be Andros and Phixia, they're also Animarius, but don't worry, they're on our side." Mambana said. "Also, while Andros is clearly based on the Egyptian Sphinx, which you are all familiar with, his twin sister Phixia is actually based on the Greek Sphinx!" She added. "You mean there's more than one?" Nefertina asked in confusion.
"Yeah, the Egyptian Sphinx, also known as the Androsphinx because of the fact it's male, is known for being a protector! As for the Greek Sphinx, also known as the Gynosphinx, because of the fact it's female, or simply Phixia, was one the monstrous children of the Greek monsters Typhon and Echidna, and actually a malevolent crafty beast that would ask travelers a riddle, and if they failed to answer correctly, she would eat them! But, when her riddle was finally answered correctly by a man named Oedipus, depending on the version of the tale, the Greek Sphinx either threw herself off a cliff or she literally ate herself to death!" AkaRed explained. "Now that's just crazy." Rath said. "You think that's crazy, Oedipus later goes on to have a romantic relationship with his own mother, coining the term 'Oedipal Complex'." Lisa said as she suddenly appeared.
That caused the Mummies to get startled. "Ah, Lisa, you're just in time." AkaRed said. "I will admit, I was rather confused by your request, AkaRed, but now that I'm seeing what's going on, it makes perfect sense." Lisa said. "Also, I have brought Axolota with me, just to make things easier!" Lisa said as Axolota, wearing a cloak, came out from behind a bush. "Axolotl Animarius, also on our side, tracker on her Soul Core, which is the medallion we wear, prevents her from leaving our base much." Mambana explained. "Also she's a highly skilled healer and capable of using magic to repair inanimate objects!" She added. "Hello." Axolota said nervously, looking around to make sure there aren't any King Draco loyal Animarius near. "We're here to help your sarcophagi." Lisa explained. "Her I can understand, but you're clearly a child, and a girl." Ja-Kal said. "Be that as it may, I also have a triple digit IQ, a Phd, several patents and some Nobel Prizes pending, this may not mean much to your time where the people of Egypt thought the brain only produces mucus and removes it through the nose during the mummification process, but in this time, it does." Lisa said. "In other words, she's very smart." AkaRed said.
That took the Mummies by surprise. "Indeed." Lisa said. "Hey, isn't that one over there the guy on the poster Presley brought?" Armon asked, pointing to Shintomaru who was blasting apart Demi Diablos with the Ride Booker in Gun Mode. "Poster? What poster?" Lisa asked upon hearing that. Nefertina then showed Lisa the poster in question. "Ah, I see the one Shintomaru calls 'Narutaki' has been in your world." Lisa surmised. This caused Shintomaru to stop what he is doing upon hearing Narutaki's name. Before groaning in frustration. "I hate that guy!" He said. "So, Shintomaru, is it? Who exactly is this Narutaki fellow and why does he call you the Destroyer of Worlds, even though you're clearly not destroying anything other than those demons?" Rath asked.
"*SIGH!* I don't know anything much about Narutaki, in my previous life or my current one, since he's so mysterious that even I don't know his true origins! All I know about him is that he's been constantly antagonizing me in every world I travel to, calling me the Destroyer of Worlds, even though I was actually trying to save the worlds that I go to!" Shintomaru explained in annoyance. "I'm even trying to rebrand myself as a protector of worlds in this life, but he just refuses to listen! Thank goodness he hasn't found this world yet." Shintomaru muttered. "Then why did he call the Destroyer of Worlds in the first place?" Nefertina asked. "Well, for starters, my previous incarnation, named Tsukasa Kadoya, didn't start out as a hero!" Shintomaru started explaining. "He was actually the leader of a criminal organization named Dai Shocker, then after a bout with amnesia, long story, I became more of an anti hero." He added.
"Anti hero? What does that mean?" Armon asked in confusion. "Uh, how do I explain this?" Shintomaru muttered. "In that case, let me define it! In fiction, an antihero is a central character in a story, movie, or drama who lacks conventional heroic attributes!" Lisa explained. "Yeah, it's complicated, I was dealing with a lot of stuff." Shintomaru explained. "Also, just so you guys know, during my previous incarnation, I had died not once, but three times, the first two led to a later resurrection while the third death was what led to my reincarnation!" He added. "I don't really understand it either." Shintomaru said. "Though, I did have help from some benevolent individuals at the Afterlife Nexus for my reincarnation!" He added. "Again, long story." Shintomaru said. As this was going on, the first eight 11 Lucharangers and the Kamen Riders had summoned the Super LuchaBuster and Trinity Buster and aimed them at Naadahala.
"Ready!" Ronnie Anne said. "Aim!" Lincoln said. "FIRE/SEALING BLAST!" they both said as the heroes pulled the triggers, firing out their respective finishers at Naddahala, seemingly destroying her. Unfortunately, the smoke cleared to reveal that Naddahala was mostly unharmed, except for the hole in the middle of her stomach, much to everyone's confusion. "What?! But how?!" Sid asked in confusion. "Stupid fools, I'm made out of water! I can easily heal myself from any damage and change my body into any shape I like!" Naddahala said as the hole in her stomach closed itself off before she then morphed her arms into watery whips that she attacked the heroes with. "Great, and we can't use these things consecutively!" Lincoln complained. "If we can find a weak spot, the Sacred Lucha Bomber might take her out, but that's easier said than done." Ronnie Anne said. "I wonder! Does this Naddahala kind of remind you all of Nuhn in some way?" Rath asked the other Mummies. "Hey, you're right!" Ja-Kal said. "I believe you're speaking of Nuhn, also known as Nu, the Spirit of Primeval Waters and one of the eight primordial deities consisting of the Ogdoad, said in Egyptian mythos to be greater than all the rivers and oceans combined as well as the source of all Earth's waters, often associated with Chaos and the Primordial Waters, not to mention being the creator of reality and personification of the cosmos!" Lisa stated. "As well as a huge pain in the neck!" Nefertina confirmed. "How so?" Lisa asked.
"We've faced him a couple of times." Ja-Kal explained. "So, it's just him alone, huh? Last I checked, in the Egyptian legends, Nuhn actually had a female counterpart/consort named Naunet, who is also described as the goddess of the sky above the primordial ocean!" Lisa noted. "Well based on the problems we've had with Nuhn alone, I can't imagine Naunet being any better." Nefertina noted. "Well, do you remember how we defeated Nuhn the first time?" Rath asked. "By freezing him solid!" Armon remembered. "Of course! Lincoln! Try using Water mode's Ice powers against her!" Lisa informed her brother, making him facepalm at how stupid he was for not thinking about that beforehand, before summoning the screen.
0-0-0-3, Water!
Lincoln then entered Water mode. "Here goes nothing!" Lincoln said, firing an ice beam from said gauntlet. As soon as it hit her, Naddahala started to literally freeze up, much to her own fright. "Oh No! Not This Again!" Naddahala said in fright. "Again?" Lincoln asked in confusion. "Oh, now I remember! Magigo and us Alebrijes defeated her by using Ice powers to freeze her solid! Of course, most of the effort was between Magigo, his partner Carbaragon, Jaxondor, and our friend Bubolarwhal, the Alebrije of Ice, who happens be 1/3 Polar Bear, 1/3 Snowy Owl, and 1/3 Narwhal!" Batelegong explained. "Sounds like a cool guy!" Lincoln joked, just as Naddahala finished becoming frozen solid. "Now!" Ronnie Anne said as she and the other core Lucharangers, already in MaxLucha Mode performed said mode's signature finisher. "Sacred Lucha Bomber!" They all called. The moment the bomber struck, Naddahala shattered in a million pieces of ice. "It worked!" Ja-Kal said. "I'm afraid it's not over yet." AkaRed said as Naddahala grew giant in a water spout!
"What is blazes?!" Rath asked in shock. "THIS MEANS WAR! JUST FOR THAT, I'LL DROWN YOU ALL IN A FLOOD!" Naddahala angrily declared as she manipulated the water in the lake to start flooding the city. "EVERYBODY RUN, DOOD!" Elliott shouted in fright as everyone started running away from the flood. "Alebrije Henkei!/Vectors, launch!" The heroes called, taking to the sky. "Shin-kun, Edge-kun, Aden-kun, AkaRed-san, Mambana-chan, get everyone to safety!" Sakura said over the speaker. "No need to tell us twice!" Edge said, just as Shibuki, the Marine Reptile Guardian, came by. "Shibuki-san!" Edge said. "Edge-sama, I came as soon as could! Looks like I could be of use here, especially with that flood!" Shibuki said. "Yeah, no kidding!" Edge said as Shibuki tossed him three medals. Specifically, they were a set of three all-ultramarine-colored Core Medals, with the first one having the image of a jumping Ichthyosaurus facing left, the second one having the image of a Plesiosaurus with its neck and head curving downwards to the right, and the third one having the image of a Mosasaurus with mouth opened and facing right. "Those should help you!" Shibuki said. "Arigato!" Edge said, loading the medals in his driver and running the O Scanner over them.
Ikuchio (Ichthyo)! Pureshio (Plesio)! Mosa! (*Heavy Ocean Waves Pounding!*) Chiopuremo! Chiopuremo! (*Ichthyosaurus Clicking, followed by Plesiosaurus and Mosasaurus Roars!*)
That's when the images surrounding Edge stopped and showed the symbols of the Ichthyo, Plesio, and Mosa Core Medals before they then merged into one symbol and attached itself to Edge's chest to convert his form into a brand new all-ultramarine form, consisting of an Ichthyosaurus-shaped helmet with seafoam green eyes, a pair of Plesiosaurus-shaped gauntlets on his arms, and a pair Mosasaurus head-shaped leg armor on his lower legs as well as a pair of Mosasaurus tail-shaped thigh skirt armor on his hips. The name of this new Prehistoric Marine Reptile-themed combo is Chiopuremo! "I hope you don't mind me jacking your style!" Shintomaru said, loading a couple of cards into the Decadriver MK III.
Kamen Ride! OOO! Form Ride! Shauta!
Shintomaru then took on OOO's Killer Whale, Electric Eel, and Octopus themed form. "Good thing you ladies are based on animals that can swim." AkaRed told Mambana and Axolota. "So True!" They both said in agreement. "In fact, unlike most amphibians, the Axolotl spends it's entire life underwater." Axolota said. "And all snakes can swim." Mambana noted. "I'll teleport myself, the Prinnies, and the sarcophagi to the temple and start work on restoration." Lisa said pulling out said device. "What about us? We're still weak from battle and in need of a recharge, not mention that Khati here hates getting wet!" Nefertina asked as the Mummies, Khati included, were running from the flood. "I'll teleport you as well." Lisa said as she hit the button, sending her, the Prinnies, the mummies, and the sarcophagi to the temple. As this was going on, Naadhala was laughing giddily at the idea of humans running away desperate to avoid the water, only for LuchaKing to grab her from behind. "I don't think so, lady! Skyring descend!" Ronnie Anne called, summoning the arena before LuchaKing, Kaiser, Wild, Aquarion Jewel, and the auxiliaries flew up to the arena, dragging the Pecadiablo with them!
"Hey! What the hell is this?!" Naddahala asked angrily. "Sorry, but we can't just let you risk any more collateral damage!" Ronnie Anne said. "Azalee-chan, do you think your Alchemy powers could work here the same way Lincoln-kun's Ice powers worked on the ground?" Sakura asked Azalee. "Alchemy does involve the rearrangement of molecules to turn one material into another, so it's possible!" Azalee noted. "Mine and Lequin's Matter powers are similar to that, so we might help too!" Dodge said. "Let's do this, Alebrije Busou!" Azalee called, taking her weapon form which Aquarion Jewel quickly caught. "Aquarion Jewel, Alchemy Axe!" Sakura called. "An Axe? Really? You do realize that I'm all liquid, right?" Naddahala asked, unamused. "Not for long, you're not!" Dodge said as LuchaWild pulled out the Matter Blaster and it and the Alchemy Axe fired a white beam that struck Naddahala, causing ice to form on her body. "No, no, no, no, not again, this is so not fair! I got a frozen wedgie for this! Is this the end of Naddahala?" Naddahala complained as the ice completely covered her body. Everyone couldn't help but laugh at the second to last thing she had just said. "Seriously? A frozen wedgie?" Ronnie Anne asked while laughing.
"Let's just put her out of her misery for now." Ronnie Anne said as the laughter died down. "Lucha Slash!/Eclipse X Slash!/Wild Dodgeball Smash!/Alchemy Break!" The heroes all called, performing said finishers. Once the combined finishers struck the frozen Naddahala, she exploded and shattered into smithereens. Laird then tossed the lock, which actually sucked the ice, which contained Naddahala's frozen essence inside, before burping, landing on the ground of the Skyring and started shivering. "Yeah, that's pretty much what happened the first time we sealed her." Jaxondor said with a chuckle.
Meanwhile...
"Two fruits from the tree of life, as requested." Ospreyus said as he delivered said items to Futaba. "Thank you, very much, Ospreyus!" Futaba replied. "By the way, I feel I should warn you that earlier, we detected the signature of a Portal Gun Portal in Great Lakes City, and since you're the only one with a Portal Gun at the moment, I think it's safe to say you sent those mummies to our world. As in the world with the Kamen Riders and Lucharangers. As in the world with the Kamen Riders and Lucharangers with technology that allows them to travel between worlds. As in the world with the Kamen Riders and Lucharangers with technology that allows them to travel between worlds and once they hear the mummies' situation will most definitely use said technology to travel to this world and help the mummies save the boy and kick all of your butts!" Ospreyus pointed out as a chibi cartoon of everything he just described played with the chibis of the heroes standing victorious atop a pile made up of the villains while shouting 'Yay!' In adorably tiny voices!
That made Futaba say "D'OH!" and facepalm in frustration. "I take it these Kamen Riders and Lucharangers aren't friends of yours?" Presley asked with a chuckle. "They definitely aren't!" Futaba retorted. "Well it doesn't matter, their sarcophagi were most likely damaged in the fall an-" Scarab started saying, only for Ospreyus to cut him off. "They have an incredibly smart 5 year old and an Animarius who can restore damaged inanimate objects on their side, meaning if they were damaged, it wouldn't matter." He explained. The made Futaba rather angry. "We need to restore these two and find the other five and Moroha now!" Futaba said, placing the two Soul Cores in the fruits. As soon as he did that, the fruits swelled up and burst open to reveal two new Mythical Animarius soldiers. The first one was a male humanoid black-furred canine-like creature, resembling either a greyhound or a jackal, with a stiff tail that's forked at the end, a pair of long straight ears that are squarish/triangular, narrowest at the base and widest at the squarish tops, and a long snout with a slight downward curve. As for the second one, she was a female humanoid Leopard with a long serpentine neck and snake-like fangs within her mouth as well as a snake's forked tongue.
Presley cringed at the sight of the two. "What the? A fruit from the tree of life? But how?" The female asked in confusion noticing what's left of the two fruits. "And more importantly, where are we?" The male asked in confusion upon looking at his surroundings. Akhexus and his group immediately recognized the two. "Shaos! Serpoparda!" He called out, gaining the attention of the two Animarius. "Akhexus! Apshaita! Kranakola! Elisserios!" The two said in delight. The two then joined with their four friends. "We've been so worried about you guys since you disappeared in that dimensional rift but because of the sandstorm we couldn't follow!" Elisserios said. "We didn't know if any of you were still alive after that incident, though it's obvious that something happened to two, since you were both already reduced to Soul Cores by the time we found you two!" Apshaita said. "So, what exactly happened to you two, and on an important note, where the heck are Hieracos, Crios, Phoenexus, Axcelsior, and Sakira?" Kranokola asked, making the two Animarius scowl upon hearing those five names.
"Please, never mention those traitors again!" The male, now named Shaos said angrily. "Wait a minute, traitors?! Since when?!" Akhexus asked in shock and confusion. "It started shortly after we were separated, we arrived in this world's version of Egypt, and we decided to try and conquer it in King Draco's name." Serpoparda started explaining. "But then one day, while we were attacking an area where the Pharoah was, they instead decided to attack us!" Shaos said. "What?! But, Why?!" Elisserios asked in shock. "Apparently Pharoah Amenhotep had recently lost his son, and this caused them to sympathize with the humans or something!" Serpoparda complained. That made all of the Animarius present, plus Futaba, groan in complaint. Before Futaba glared at Scarab. "Hey, how was I supposed to know my actions would result in that?" He asked.
Meanwhile...
At the Carnovan Residence, Presley's mother, Amanda Carnovan, was getting worried as her son still hasn't come home. She was even calling his phone, which Futaba proceeded to take and crush in his bare hand. "Hey, my mom just got me that!" Presley complained. "Too bad, so sad." Futaba said. "You have issues!" Presley said. "You have no idea, kid!" Futaba said with a chuckle. Upon hearing nothing but a dial tone on the phone, Amanda sighed in frustration. Before someone knocked at the door. "Coming!" Amanda said as she then approached the door and opened it to see two kids, one male and one female, who are none other than Presley's friends from school Walter Lu and Elaine Setter. "Walter, Elaine, so good to see you both." Amanda said. "Hey, Mrs. Carnovan!" Walter said. "Is Presley home with you? We haven't seen him all day and we're getting worried!" Elaine asked. "Really? I was actually about to ask you two the same question." Amanda admitted.
"You mean he's not home?! Then where can he be?!" Walter asked. "Why don't you try that big Pyramid in town?" A voice asked causing the three to look into the living room to find Narutaki just sitting on the couch randomly. That caused Amanda to grab a broom and angrily point it at Narutaki, ready to defend herself when necessary. "Who Are You And How Did You Get Into My Home?!" Amanda demanded with anger and suspicion. "Relax, madam, I mean you no harm, I'm just a traveler. I should tell you though that your son is in serious danger, and if something isn't done soon, this world, no, all worlds, are next." Narutaki said with a creepy smile. "What are you talking about?" Elaine asked. "Just go to the pyramid I mentioned and you'll see." Narutaki said, disappearing through an Aurora Curtain. "Did that guy give anyone else the creeps or is it just me?" Walter asked. "I'd definitely say that it's not just you!" Elaine said.
Meanwhile, at the temple...
The restored Sarcophagi opened up as Ja-Kal, Rath, Armon, and Nefertina got out, fully recharged. "Ah, that's so much better!" Nefertina said. "Yeah! Now, I'm ready to fight again!" Armon said. "This is definitely something you don't see everyday." Sakura said as the mummies noticed the Kamen Riders, Lucharangers, Alchemeister, Andros, Phixia, Toadus, Gorf, Gracilus, Bufoam, Fuka, Desco, Alruanellie, Panopticon, Stella, Yui, and Subaru were all there along with Lisa, Axolota, Mambana, AkaRed, and the Prinnies, with the heroes still transformed, but their helmets off. "Well, this certainly is awkward." Rath said. "Well, this certainly is awkward." Rath said. "And you two are a lot shorter than I remember." Armon noted, pointing to Carl and Adelaide. "Yeah, that's actually magic used to disguise our true ages whenever Adelaide and I transform!" Carl explained. Yui then approached the four. "Your Neko is so Kawaii!" She beamed.
"Our what is so what?" Nefertina asked in confusion. "She's saying your Cat is cute." Sakura translated, pointing to Khati. Khati meowed at that. "Yeah, well she can also..." Nefertina said as Khati transformed. "Do that." Nefertina finished. That spooked Yui enough for her fox ears and tail to automatically pop out. "Fascinating!" Lisa said in awe, examining Khati. "Why do you suddenly have the ears and tail of a fox? Are descended from a fox goddess or something?" Rath asked Yui in confusion. "Close, Yui-chan here is part Kitsune, a mystical fox creature of Japanese folklore, while I'm part Fairy, hence my wings, Ciannan-kun over there is part Leprechaun, which is from Ireland, and Subaru-kun over there is part Tanuki, another creature from Japanese folklore, he's just not old enough to grow the parts that come with such heritage." Sakura explained.
That made the Mummies a little bit confused. "It's complicated." Sakura said as Aya approached them and examined their auras. "Wow, your auras are telling me a lot of interesting things, I mean, you had to disguise yourself as a man just to be able to drive the Pharoah's chariots?" Aya asked Nefertina. "Whoa, wait a minute, how did you just know about that part of my past?!" Nefertina asked in shock. "I can see auras." Aya explained. "And what exactly are auras?" Rath asked. "Well put it simply, they're this air around you, it's normally invisible, but my family and I are able to see them, and from them, we're able to tell a lot about people, for example, you love burgers, you've found yourself trying to sound smarter than you really are in this time, and you constantly find yourself trying to not repeat a mistake you made back in Ancient Egypt." Aya told Armon, Rath, and Ja-Kal. "She's good." Armon noted.
"Just what are you? Some sort of magician?" Rath asked. "Junior witchdoctor and..." Aya said, shifting to her werehyena form. "Werehyena." She said, shifting back. That made the Mummies a little bit spooked. Which of course made Aya chuckle. "Anyway, I'm Lincoln, Kamen Rider LL, you've already met my second youngest of 10 sisters, Lisa." Lincoln said, gesturing to the genius. "Wait, ten sisters?" Nefertina asked. "Five older, five younger, each crazier than the other." Lincoln said. "I'd take offense to that if it weren't true, especially when it concerns Lynn and Lola." Lisa noted. "Just what are the rest of your sisters like, Lincoln?" Armon asked. "Oh, boy, where do I begin? First off, there's Lori, the oldest sister at age eighteen, who often talks on the phone to her boyfriend Bobby and ignore everyone else while doing so, not to mention that she's really bossy, especially when she orders us around like a military instructor every time she gets put in charge of babysitting us!" Lincoln said. "Then there's Leni, seventeen, a fashionista, the exact opposite of Lisa in terms of intelligence." Lincoln said.
"Seriously, she sometimes take things to literally and she also tends to forget things at times, not to mention that she has a tendency to spoil surprise parties!" He added. "Then there's Luna, sixteen, she's a rock musician." Lincoln said. "Unfortunately, while she means well, Luna tends to be a bit too loud when playing music!" He added. "Luan at fifteen is a comedianne, always annoying us with bad puns and torturing us with practical jokes!" Lincoln explained. "How bad can she be?" Nefertina asked. "Don't get us started!" Lisa said. "Lynn at fourteen is an athlete, participating in all kinds of sports, she's also a sore loser and worse winner." Lincoln said. "Seriously, she really brags a lot whenever she wins at something, much to our own annoyance! Plus, she often eats way more spicy foods than what people would normally eat, which also gives her terrible gas and she doesn't have any qualms against farting on purpose whenever she feels like it!" He complained. "My lungs are burning just thinking about it!" Lisa said in a raspy voice.
That made the Mummies shudder in disgust. "Yeah, then there's Lucy, nine years old, she's super spooky, seriously, you never know if she's in the room or not unless she pops up behind you!" Lincoln said as he and Lisa looked around, making sure Lucy wasn't near. "I'm right over here, brother, and so are my friends!" Lucy said as she, Rocky, Haiku, Dante, Persephone, Morpheus, Boris, and Bertrand, along with, surprisingly, Lana and Lola, appeared behind the Mummies, causing everyone to jump up in fright. "How do you do that?" Yui asked in shock. "I've been wondering that the last nine years!" Lincoln said. "Sorry, but when Lisa informed that there are mummies from another universe, we couldn't resist coming here!" Lucy said. "So this is..." Nefertina said. "Yes, this is Lucy, her boyfriend Rocky, their friends from the aptly named Jr Morticians Club Haiku, Dante, Persephone, Morpheus, Boris, Bertrand, and, what the, Lana and Lola, what are you two doing here?" Lincoln asked, noticing the twins.
"Oh, when Lucy told us about Lisa telling her about actual undead mummies, including one that's a cat, well, I decided to come along because I thought it'd be cool!" Lana said. "As for me, well, I know for a fact that Mummies are usually from Egypt and they're part of Royalty in some way, so I went along with Lana out of curiosity!" Lola said. Lincoln sighed. "And of course these two are two more of my sisters, Lana and Lola, seven year old Polar Opposite twins, Lana being a mud and animal loving tomboy and Lola being a Princess wannabe who's bad side, and trust me when I say this, you want to stay as far away from as humanly possible!" Lincoln said.
"Why?" Armon asked. "Because she's incredibly strong for a seven-year-old girl, especially when angered!" Lincoln warned, causing the Mummies to laugh in disbelief. As they continued laughing, everyone started backing up nervously, knowing full well what Lola can be like. That's when Lola approached the Mummies. "Oh, so, you don't believe my brother, huh? Well then, How About I Show You?!" Lola declared as she grabbed Armon by the left leg, picked him up effortlessly, and then smacked him all across the floor multiple times, much to the Mummies' shock. "HOW, OW! ARE YOU, OW! SO FREAKISHLY STRONG?! OW!" Armon asked in shock while still being smacked across the floor. "I tried to warn you!" Lincoln said as Lola stopped beating up Armon. "Anyone else?" She asked the other mummies who where looking scared. "No, not at all!" Ja-Kal said nervously. "It's nice meeting you!" Rath said equally nervous. "Love the hair!" Nefertina said with a nervous chuckle. "And finally, there's Lily, two years old." Lincoln said.
"She's usually sweet, but, unfortunately, even she has her own dark side, as she's just a worse prankster as Luan, not to mention that she can be incredibly destructive when cranky, especially during that one time where she had painful constipation from eating too much cheese!" He added. This made the Loud siblings present shudder. "Anyway, I'm Lincoln's girlfriend Sakura, Kamen Rider Jewel." Sakura said. "And like I said before, I'm actually part-Fairy!" She added while unfurling her fairy wings from her back. "You see, my ancestor, a human named Ryu fell in love with a Nature Fairy named Naturia while the two were fighting off the Animarius Empire when they first came to Earth 5,000 years ago." Sakura said.
"Wait, came to Earth, you mean that the Animarius are actually aliens?" Rath asked in shock. "Indeed, I am Toadus, this is my ward and Axolota's fiance Gorf, Andros, his twin sister Phixia, my brother Bufoam, and Gracilus, we came to this planet from the far away world called Animari Prime, our leader King Draco came to this planet seeking to add it to a list of planets he had conquered, but after Ryu saved my life, Gorf and I had decided to stop King Draco, so we helped Ryu seal them in a stone tablet, only for that tablet to be broken, releasing them all." Toadus explained, making everyone seethe in annoyance. "And who were the incompetent fools that broke the tablet?" Rath asked in annoyance. "I don't know, some construction crew." Toadus said. That made the Mummies facepalm in annoyance. "Tell us about it, it was especially bad for me, since I had recently lost my parents and Oniichan." Sakura said. "Older brother." Lisa translated. "When the Animarius Cerberion, who as it turns out wasn't sealed as King Draco sent out his Royal Guard to wreak havoc, destroy the car they were in, and to make matters worse, as I recently found out, my Mama was pregnant at the time!" Sakura said, starting to tear up at the last part.
She then dropped to her knees and cried loudly. Fortunately, Lincoln was there to provide some comfort by hugging her. "And when I confronted him about it, he didn't even care!" Sakura said. The Mummies were obviously shocked and appalled by that. "How despicable does that villain get?!" Ja-Kal asked angrily. "Oh trust me, that's not all, anyway, I'm Lincoln's best friend Clyde, Kamen Rider Anansi, and this is my partner Aurachnid." Clyde said. "Hey, how do you all do?" Aurachnid asked in a cool manner. "A talking spider? This version of Earth is certainly unusual!" Rath noted. "As I said earlier, I'm Shintomaru, Kamen Rider Neo-Decade, and this is my girlfriend Stella." Shintomaru said. "Hello!" Stella said. "I'm Edge, Kamen Rider Neo-OOO, like Shintomaru, I was also a Kamen Rider that died and got reborn." Edge said.
"Though, unlike Shintomaru's past life, my own past life, going by the name Eiji Hino, was a hero from the get go, even to the point of becoming incredibly lacking in selfishness!" He added. "Admirable." Ja-Kal said. "I'm Ronnie Anne, LuchaPurple, team leader of the Alebrije Sentai Lucharanger." Ronnie Anne said as Jaxondor appeared on her shoulder. "And this is my Alebrije partner Jaxondor, or Jax as we call her." Ronnie Anne said. "Nice to meet you!" Jaxondor said. "Same to you, so what exactly is an Alebrije?" Rath asked. "We're a race of guardian spirits, who's bodies are comprised of parts of three different animals, one from the land, one from the sky, and one from the water. In my case, it's a Jaguar, an Andean Condor, and an Axolotl." Jaxondor explained. "We're also able to endow our powers onto certain people, in mine and Ronnie Anne's case, I was able to give her my powers over Lightning, Water, and Wind." Jaxondor explained.
"Also known as the Storm Element!" She added. "And you say you're your team's leader despite being female? You go girl!" Nefertina said. "Uh, thanks!" Ronnie Anne said. Of course, the three male Mummies grumbled in disbelief. "I'm Ronnie Anne's girlfriend and second in command, Sid, LuchaBlue, and yes, by girlfriend, I mean..." Sid said before kissing Ronnie Anne on the cheek, making her chuckle and blush. That made the Mummies rather surprised. "Yeah, it's actually a lot more common here than you realize, my sister Luna for example is in a same sex relationship." Lincoln said. "And I was actually adopted by two men." Clyde said. "You may be shocked to believe this, but, back in our time when we were still alive, these same-sex relationships are actually acceptable in Ancient Egypt, especially if it's between two women! Though, apparently, for whatever reason, we don't see as much in San Francisco when we were first ressurected as mummies!" Rath explained, much to everyone's surprise. "Well anyway, this is my partner, Ailuxucara, or Ailu as we call her." Sid said.
"Hi!" Ailuxucara said. "Why do you all give your Alebrije partners shorter names?" Rath asked in confusion. "Some of them are harder to remember or pronounce sometimes." Ronnie Anne admitted. "Anyway, I'm Casey, LuchaRed, and this is my partner Trisaurus, or Trisaur as I would call him!" Casey said. "Hey there!" Trisaurus said. "What kind of animals is he compromised of?" Rath asked in confusion. "From the land, I'm a Tyrannosaurus Rex, the sky, a Pteranodon, and the water, a Mosasaurus." Trisaurus explained. "All animals that had been wiped off the face of the earth long before you four were born." Lisa explained. She then showed them images of the extinct animals in question on her tablet. "Really? I don't think we ever heard of or seen such creatures before, especially not in hieroglyphics!" Rath noted. "Well, it's probably because their fossilized bones weren't discovered yet in your time!" Lisa said. "I'm Sameer, LuchaGreen, and this is my partner, Batelegong, or Batel as we call him." Sameer said.
"Greetings!" Batelegong said. "I'm Sameer's girlfriend Nikki, LuchaPink, and this is my partner, Regaluco, or Luco as we call her." Nikki said. "Hello!" Regaluco said. "I'm Laird, LuchaYellow, and this is my partner Leaquilfin, or Quil as we call him." Laird said. "Hi there!" Leaquilfin said. "I'm Ronnie Anne's cousin Carl, LuchaGold, and this is my partner Magnifalcougar, or Magni as we call him." Carl said. "What's up?" Magnifalcougar said. "You know, you kind of remind us of a Hieracosphinx or an Axex, but with fish parts included!" Ja-Kal noted. "A what now?" Magnifalcougar asked in confusion. "I'll explain here! The Hieracosphinx is basically a type of Egyptian Sphinx with the head like a hawk or Peregrine Falcon instead of a human's! As for the Axex, it's basically like an Egyptian version of a Griffin, with a body of a muscular feline, possibly either a lion or a leopard, and the wings and head of a hawk, as well as having three curved appendages on its head!" Lisa explained.
"Do not get us started on Griffins! We fought one once before!" Nefertina said. "You did? But, the genuine Griffins, which basically has the head, wings, and taloned claws of an Eagle and the body, ears, rear legs, and tail of a lion, are from Greece, not Egypt!" Lisa pointed out. "Yeah, but it did came out of the realm beyond the Western Gate, where the Egyptian Gods and spirits in our world reside, so it kind of counts!" Rath said. "Also, now that you've mentioned, the Griffin we fought looked different from your description! It did have the head and wings of an eagle and the body and tail of a lion, but it didn't have Lion ears or eagle talons, plus it actually has the front legs of a lion instead of the rear legs of one, since it already has the rear end and legs of a horse!" Ja-Kal said. "From that description, it sounds like your Griffin might actually be type of Hippogriff, as in a horse/Griffin hybrid, than actual Griffin!" Lisa noted. "Well anyway, I'm Carl's girlfriend Yui." Yui said. "And I'm Mag Mag's girlfriend Kitsunagakiri." Kitsunagakiri said. "Mag Mag?" Ja-Kal asked. "A little pet name I have for him after he tried to introduce himself to me when we first met, but he couldn't get past the first syllable." Kitsunagakiri explained.
That made Magnifalcougar blush in embarrassment. "Oh my gosh, that's so cute!" Stella beamed with a chuckle. "Wow, sure sucks to be you, little brother." Jaxondor said. "OH like nothing embarrassing happened when you and Equyscarindrops met." Magnjifalcougar said. That made Jaxondor rather flustered and insulted. "Let's just say there's a reason my powers are his favorite to copy and leave it at that." She said defensively. Aya and Vularena then read Jaxondor's aura. Before chuckling. "Yeah, that's probably a good idea." Aya said. "Anyway, I'm Sid's little sister Adelaide, LuchaSilver, and this is my partner Lunastura, or Lulu as we call her." Adelaide said. "Hello!" Lunastura said. "And over there are our boyfriends Subaru and Tanugatanta." She added, gesturing to said boys. "Konichiwa! That's Japanese for 'Hello'!" Subaru said. "Pleased to meet you!" Tanugatanta said. "I'm Becky, LuchaCyan, and this is my partner Harpygolverine, or Harpygo as we call her." Becky said.
"Hey y'all!" Harpygolverine said. "I'm Becky's girlfriend Dodge, LuchaOrange, and this is my partner Prawngolequin, or Lequin as we call her." Dodge said. "Hi there!" Prawngolequin said. "I'm Becky's brother Ricky, LuchaMagnet, and this is my partner Aurastrolumba, or Aurastro as we call him." Ricky said. "S'up everyone?" Aurastrolumba said. "Magnet? That doesn't fit with the whole color name scheme!" Nefertina pointed out. "Actually, it kind of does." Lisa started explaining. "While the word Magnet does refer to a tool that attracts metal, which matches well with Ricky and Aurastro's power over Magnetism, the Magnet in this case is actually a name of an actual color, primarily a color from the Violet color family, that's basically a mixture of blue and magenta colors, and often mistaken for the color Grey!" She explained. "Yeah, I don't get it either." Ricky said. "I'm Aya, LuchaAmber, and this is my partner Vularena, or Rena as we call her." Aya said.
"Hi!" Vularena said. "Amber?" Armon asked in confusion. "It's a shade of orange associated with fossilized tree sap, which can be made into jewelry!" Lisa explained. "Oh, that makes sense, I guess!" Armon said. "You know, something's bothering me a bit! How old are you?" Nefertina asked Aya. "10." Aya said, before realizing what Nefertina was talking about. "Oh, you're confused because of these!" Aya said with a chuckle, gesturing to her chest. "As part of my family's lineage, there's a recipe for a potion that when drunk by a girl at least 10 years of age, barring early puberty, allows our breasts to grow." Aya explained, gesturing to the chests of the other girls 10, or in Yui's case 8, or above. That took the Mummies by surprise. "That's the reason why you all are so well-endowed inspite of being that young?!" Nefertina asked in shock. "Yep! My cousin Nyansipo is working on a male equivalent, but due to the interference of a demon named Gremlock, his initial attempt didn't work out the way he was hoping." Aya said, seething nervously. "How so?" Rath asked.
Enough Time To Explain The Potion Incident Later...
The mummies were astonished with what they were just told. "You're kidding." Ja-Kal said. "Unfortunately, no." Ciannan said, pulling out his phone and showing a picture he had received from Aoife, which showed her holding Brion who was wearing an Indigo onesie, his face painted to resemble LuchaIndigo's helmet, with a headband decorated with what looked like Cristeiroceros' antlers and the caption 'Like Father Like Son!' "That's my girlfriend Aoife and our son, little Brion!" Cianán said. "KAWAII!" Sakura and Yui beamed upon seeing the photo. "SO CUTE!" The female Lucharangers and Stella gushed. "Well, as a father myself, I must advise you, Nyansipo, Charlie, and your girlfriends to treasure the memories you have with your little ones." Ja-Kal said. "Uh, thanks! Wait, you're a father?" Cianán asked in surprise. "Indeed, I had a wife, named Tia, and a son, named Padjet, but I died when my son was just a baby, and I have no idea what became of them since then." Ja-Kal admitted. Everyone gasped in horror at that, especially Cianán. "I'm sorry to hear that." Ciannan said. "Thank you." Ja-Kal said. "Well, anyway, I'm Edge's girlfriend Azalee, LuchaVermillion, and this is my partner, Phoelacandra, or Phoela as we call her." Azalee said. "Salutations!" Phoelacandra said.
"I'm Azalee's twin brother Aden, I'm what's known as a Metal Hero, called Alchemeister, and this is my partner/weapon, the Alchemic Saber Ouroblade." Aden said. "You may call me Ouros." Ouros said. "A talking snake-themed sword?" Armon asked in confusion. "Actually, I used to be human, an Alchemist to be specific!" Ouros started explaining. "Of course, the reason why I'm like this because, well, the moment that I finished creating this sword, a group of bandits invaded the village I was living in 15,000 years ago and caused a landslide, so, in order to prevent it from falling into the wrong hands, I transferred my soul into the sword just before the landslide completely buried my home!" Ouros explained. "In fact, Aden and I come from a long line of Alchemists, not related to him though." Azalee said. "And now thanks to our bonds with Phoela and Ouros, we're able to use Alchemy on a new level to fight the evils that threaten this world!" Azalee said.
"Well, we're no strangers to Alchemy, since it's just as prominent in Ancient Egypt as much as Magic!" Rath noted. "Oh really? Could you make an entire race of beings out of coins?" Azalee asked, pointing to Ankh and Shibuki. "Uh, actually, we usually use Alchemy to purify, mature, and perfect certain materials, mostly metals, and also making artificial colors!" Rath said. "But the fact that you're able to do that is quite impressive." Rath admitted. "I'm also able to use those coins, or Core Medals as I call them, to fight against evil." Edge said. "Allow me to demonstrate, Ankh?" Edge asked as Ankh tossed him a Kujaku and a Condor medal which Edge loaded along with the Taka Medal he already had and ran the O Scanner over them.
Taka! Kujaku! Condor! Tajadoru!
Edge then entered his super form. The Mummies were awed at that. "And this is just one." Edge said. "I'm Casey's girlfriend Jalissa, LuchaTeal, and this is my partner, and Trisaur's girlfriend, Conerrapingo, or Coney as we call her." Jalissa said. "Hello!" Conerrapingo said. "By the way, just to clarify things, I'm the only one here who has not taken Aya's beauty enhancement potion, since my own breasts are grown naturally, since the women from my family are known to be early bloomers whose breasts start growing at age nine!" Jalissa said. "I'm Ciannan, LuchaIndigo, as Sakura said earlier, I'm part Leprechaun, and this is my partner Cristeiroceros, or Cris as we call him." Ciannan said. "Nice to meet you!" Cristeroiceros said. "And you already know that I'm a young father! Of course, mine and Aoife's parents were rather shocked that Aoife and I made a baby together, though, thankfully, they were able to forgive us after knowing what happened wasn't our fault, not to mention that they were overjoyed at the birth of Brion! *Sigh!* Unfortunately, about a month after Brion was born, Aoife's parents were killed in a sudden building fire!" Cianán said, much to the shock and horror of the Mummies.
This caused the mummies to gasp. "Yeah, to say that my girlfriend was devastated is an understatement! Thankfully, before their deaths, Aoife's parents arranged to have my parents become my girlfriend's legal guardians, should something bad ever happens to them!" Cianán said. "I'm Laird's girlfriend Aquene, LuchaLavender, and this is my partner Stomantha, or Mantha as we call her." Aquene said. "Hello! Also, I just so happen to be Leaquilfin's girlfriend!" Stomantha said. "I'm Ronnie Anne's cousin and Carl's older sister Carlota, LuchaMagenta, and this is my partner Scolorficunice, or Scolorfi as we call her." Carlota said. "Hi!" Scolorficunice said. "You're part-centipede, right? We Egyptians actually have a Centipede God named Sepa, who has power over other venomous animals and was often invoked for protection against snake bites and scorpion stings!" Rath said. "Your gods have good taste in motifs, it seems!" Diohuerhus said, making Scolorficunice blush at her boyfriend's comment. "Who's that?" Armon asked. "That's Diohureus, the Alebrije of Poison, and my boyfriend, since he's the only Alebrije that's totally immune to my Venom powers while I, in turn, am the Alebrije that's totally immune to his Poison powers!" Scolorficunice explained.
"I'm Ronnie Anne's cousin, and Carlota and Carl's brother CJ, LuchaBrown, and this is Mephoatzel, or Mepho as we call him." CJ said. "How do you do?" Mephoatzeal said, though, unfortunately, his stench made the Mummies cough and gag in disgust. "Oops, sorry, my element is Gas and I'm known as the smelliest Alebrije." Mephoatzel said. "Ugh! No Kidding!" Nefertina said in disgust. "Yeah, unfortunately, because of Mepho's stench, and the fact that CJ often farts in his sleep, it makes it practically impossible for Magni and I to get any good night's sleep, since we share a bedroom with them!" Carl complained. "The horror!" Magnifalcougar said with a terrified look on his face. "I'm Ronnie Anne's brother and Lincoln's sister Lori's boyfriend Bobby, LuchaBronze, and this is my partner, Kabutocerosteus, or Cero as we call him since we have an enemy named Kabuto." Bobby said.
"Hey there!" Kabutocerosteus said. "An enemy named Kabuto? What exactly is he?" Rath asked in confusion. "A Japanese Rhinoceros Beetle Animarius, leader of it's Insect Army, and Gracilus-san's cousin." Sakura said. Gracilus felt very bitter about hearing his cousin's name. "What's the matter?" Armon asked in confusion. "Kabuto got that title through dirty means by killing my father." Gracilus explained. The Mummies gasped in shock and horror at that. "Why did he do such a horrible act?!" Ja-Kal asked in appall. "Apparently, Kabuto didn't like the way Chiron was leading the army." Aurachnid said. "Mainly because Chiron was a kind and just leader, unlike Kabuto! Plus, as we had found out, Kabuto was actually jealous of the fact that Chiron was actually planning to have Gracilus become the next leader of the Insect Army instead of him!" Toadus explained. "Yikes!" Armon said. "I'm Par, LuchaCopper, and this is my partner Sweetarlin, or Sweetar as we call him." Par said.
"Hello!" Sweetarlin said. "I'm Makros, LuchaCrimson, and before you ask, I'm actually a Gurrugan from the planet Straya, I originally came to this planet hoping for a way to free my people from the Animarius Empire's control. And this is my partner Kanganeurobster, or Kangan as we call him." Makros explained. "Charmed!" Kanganeurobster said. "So, you're also an alien, albeit a different type from the Animarius?" Rath asked. "Correct." Makros said. "I'm Fuka, this is my little sister Desco." Fuka said. "Hi!" Desco said. "Little sister? But, she's clearly not human like you are! In fact, I don't even know what she is!" Rath said in confusion. "Technically speaking, Desco is a man made cybernetic demon created by our father." Desco explained.
"Created? For what purpose?" Rath asked. "It's a funny story really, see I used to dream about world domination, so Daddy created Desco to act as a sort of 'Final Boss', but then his second creation, Des X, attacked us out of pure jealousy, killing me and leaving Desco in a death like coma, causing us to get sent to the afterlife that they're from." Fuka said, gesturing to the Prinnies. "But I thought it was a big crazy nightmare, until I was told the truth by this crazy knife wielding, dream invading serial killer named Freddy Krueger, but fortunately, Cris' sister Electra and her boyfriend Eury who's elements are Life and Death, were able to combine their powers to revive me, so Desco and I decided to stay behind in this world to get a fresh start!" Fuka explained. The Mummies were astonished by that. "The term 'funny story' must mean something different in this world." Armon said. "Well either way, I'm glad you did, who knows where I would be if I hadn't met you." Alraunellie told Desco, kissing her on the cheek.
"Aww, thanks, Nellie!" Desco said with a blush. "I'm Alraunellie, but you can call me Nellie, I'm Desco's girlfriend, Panopticon over here and I are actually reformed Pecadiablos, which is the evil faction that water Woman you saw them fighting earlier came from." Alraunellie explained. That took the Mummies by surprise. "Yeah, but what can we say?" Panopticon said, shifting to his human form and pulling Carlota in. "Love can make even demons do crazy things!" He said, kissing Carlota on the lips. The mummies simply shrugged at that. "Anyway, I'm Ja-Kal, this is Rath, Armon, and Nefertina." Ja-Kal said. "And over here is Khati!" Nefertina said, pointing at the mummy cat. "So how did you guys wind up here?" Lincoln asked. "Well, we were minding our own business when this guy named Futaba and a small team of these 'Animarius', as well as some guys who looked like a skeletal Ghost, a Pyramid, a Lighthouse, an Obelisk, and the Golden Gate Bridge, busted into our hideout!" Nefertina said. This made everyone groan in frustration. "Seriously?!" Lincoln asked before sighing. "Everyone into the Vectors, you can finish explaining on the way." Lincoln said.
"Vectors?" The Mummies asked in confusion. "These giant jets." Sakura explained, pointing to said jets. "Mine has a device that can open portals to other worlds." Lincoln explained. "That's great and all, but do any of you even know where exactly our world is?" Rath asked. "I was able to get a reading from the portal that dropped you guys off here." AkaRed said. "You mean you're seriously willing to help?" Nefertina asked. "Of course, those guys you mentioned are supposed to be our problem, and if they're causing trouble in your world, we need to do some cleaning up!" Sakura said, cracking her knuckles in a way that made the mummies gulp nervously.
Meanwhile...
A Shabti ran up to Scarab and caught his attention. "Yes, what is it?" Scarab asked as the Shabti pointed to a monitor where Amanda, Walter, and Elaine could be seen in the lobby. "Mrs. Carnovan? What's she doing here?" Scarab asked in confusion. "Mom! Walter! Elaine!" Presley called out, realizing that they were in the lobby before covering his mouth, realizing what he just called out! "Mom?" Scarab asked before chuckling. "Oh, how ironic! I've interacted with her occasionally at the museum in my guise as Harris Stone, yet I never knew she was your mother! If I had known that sooner, I would have used her as bait to capture you!" Scarab said while laughing. "Dang it!" Presley said, facepalming.
A Few Minutes Later...
"Presley Carnovan, could you please explain to us what on Earth is going on?!" Amanda asked as she, Walter and Elaine found themselves in the same kind of bubbles Futaba trapped Presley in! That made Presley gulp nervously. "Trust me guys, you wouldn't believe me if I told you." Presley said. "The sun will set soon, once it does the entrance to the Western Gate will be accessible." Scarab informed Futaba. "Perfect!" Futaba said. "And that's basically everything." Ja-Kal told Lincoln as the Vectors and Alebrije Mechs were flying through the portal that would take them to the Mummies' world. "Dang, a reincarnated Egyptian prince?" Lincoln asked in shock. "I don't get it, this Scarab guy got what he wanted already, he got immortality, so why is he still after Presley-kun?" Sakura asked in confusion. "Somehow, I think that Scarab's immortality isn't as permanent as he had thought!" Rath said. "Well either way, our mission is clear, save Presley, stop Scarab, and kick the butts of anyone else that tries to stop us!" Lincoln said as they exited the portal, arriving in San Francisco. As this was happening, a Dustard ran up to Futaba and whispered something in his ear. "What? Where?!" Futaba asked as the Dustard pointed out a window where the flying Vectors and Alebrije mechs could be seen on the horizon.
"Oh, you have got to be kidding me!" Futaba complained. "I told you they'd be here." Ospreyus said with a sly smirk. "Shall we have some of us intercept those meddlers while everyone else goes to the Western Gate to find Moroha?" Golden Gate asked. "Don't worry your pretty little head! I'm all we need!" The Pyramid Dopant said, pulling out a Kaiju memory.
Kaiju!
"There it is!" Ja-Kal said, pointing to Scarab's pyramid. "Scarab's lair is a giant purple metal-and-glass pyramid?" Clyde asked. "You guys are from Egypt, both of your lairs are literally Egyptian monuments, yet neither of you thought about looking for each other in the only other building in town with that design!?" Aurachnid asked incredulously. "To be fair, we didn't know that Scarab actually lived there, since we initially believed that it was Harris Stone's building!" Ja-Kal said. "Well whoever he is, I hope he's ready for some party crashers!" Lincoln said as the Pyramid Dopant rose up, using the Kaiju Memory's power. "I DON'T THINK SO!" He declared. Specifically, the Pyramid Dopant looked like a gigantic three-layered Pyramid with eight blocky spider-like legs at the bottom layer, eight blocky arms at the middle layer, and four eyes surrounding the top triangular layer, as well as two mouths filled with razor-sharp teeth, one connecting between top and middle layers and a larger one connecting between the middle and bottom layers, eight humongous golden wings, shaped like those seen on the Egyptian Goddess Isis, on his back, and a Solar Disc at the very top of his triangular head.
He then started firing beams of light at the heroes who deftly dodged. "It's the pyramid guy!" Ja-Kal said. "But he wasn't this big last time!" Rath said. "Or this ugly!" Armon said. "He must be a Dopant using a Kaiju memory!" Lincoln said. "Well this complicates things!" Nefertina said. "You guys go on ahead! We'll handle this guy!" Ronnie Anne said. "Good idea! Thanks, Ronnie Anne!" Lincoln said. "You're welcome, Lame-O!" Ronnie Anne replied. "Lame-O?" The Mummies asked in confusion. "It's a long story." Lincoln said as the Vectors and Auxiliary Lucharangers found a place to land. "Dai Alebrije Gattai!" The first 11 Lucharangers called. Once they said that, the 11 main Alebrije Mechs combined into LuchaPrime. "LuchaPrime! Awaken!" The main 11 Lucharangers called out. "Skyring, descend!" Ronnie Anne called, summoning the arena. "Now, what kind of magic is that?" Rath asked. "The Skyring, they use it to prevent collateral damage, plus it looks cool and fits the Luchador motif." Lincoln explained.
"Luchador?" Armon asked in confusion. "Mexican masked wrestlers." Lisa explained. "Oh, now, I get it! I once fought against a masked wrestler, called the Masked Destroyer, and defeated him during a wrestling match at the The World's Toughest Gladiator Contest!" Armon said. "Yet, you ended up getting weaker after defeating every opponent there, due to the Life Force Drainer that Scarab had planted on you, until you almost lost your life to Talos!" Rath reminded. "Don't remind me." Armon said. "Talos? As in the Bronze Giant from Greek Mythology?" Lisa, who, along with Yui, Subaru, Lana, Lola, Lucy, Rocky, Haiku, Dante, Persephone, Morpheus, Boris, and Bertrand, had already rode along with everyone in the Vectors, asked in shock. "Wait, Talos not from Egyptian legend? I didn't know that!" Rath said in confusion. "Discuss later!" Lincoln said firing a rocket into the side of Scarab's Pyramid.
This rocked the building, making everyone in it feel the shock. "Persistent, aren't they?" Scarab asked in annoyance. "You have no idea!" Futaba said. He then saw the sun on the horizon. "We have no time to waste, take us to the Western Gate, now!" Futaba demanded. "Fine, then! Everyone, follow me!" Scarab said. "Bring him and leave the others!" Scarab said, pointing to Presley. "We'll buy you guys time!" Pharos said, gesturing to himself, Obelisk, and Golden Gate. "What about finding those five traitorous Animarius in this world?" Ibiscus asked. "If I have an idea on where they might be, it could be that they're still in this world's version of Egypt!" Shaos surmised. "How are we supposed to get there?" Akhexus asked. "I don't suppose you could adjust that portal gun of yours to create a portal to that version of Egypt, can you?" Elisserios asked Futaba.
"Hmmm! You know, that might be a good idea!" Futaba said. As this was going on, the Kamen Riders, Auxiliary Lucharangers, and Mummies entered the pyramid. "This is the staircase Scarab lead us up, his office is just upstairs." Ja-Kal said as an army of Shabti stormed downstairs. "What the heck are those living statue things?!" Aurachnid asked in confusion. "Scarab's Shabti!" Ja-Kal said. "With the strength of Ra!" The Mummies called, donning their armor again. "Whoa!" Everyone said in awe. "Hey, I can't help but notice that you had one arm and, yet, you now have two arms like your fellow Mummies! What's up with that?" Par asked. "Back in ancient Egypt, I was a warrior in Pharaoh Amenhotep's royal army! In one of my battles, I had lost my right arm! So, as a means of gratitude, the Pharaoh gave me this magical, golden arm to use as a replacement, and also made me Prince Rapses's bodyguard and Egypt-Tsu trainer!" Armon explained. "Now then, let's kick Tut!" Ja-Kal said as the Mummies charged with the others shrugging before following suit.
Outside...
LuchaPrime and the Pyramid Dopant were up in the Sky Ring, fighting against each other, though the latter was clearly getting the upper hand. "You Lucharangers are fools for thinking that you can beat me!" The Pyramid Dopant said as he spun around incredibly fast and punched LuchaPrime multiple times with his fists before flipping upside down and rapidly kicking the Mecha with his spider-like feet, knocking the Prime Blaster from LuchaPrime's right hand. Then, after getting right side up again, the Pyramid Dopant charged up his four eyes and spun around again before shooting out lasers from his eyes at LuchaPrime, causing serious damage to the Mecha. "This guy is strong as he is big!" Sid said as AkaRed appeared on a monitor. "Don't lose hope, Lucharangers, help has arrived!" AkaRed said from some sort of cockpit as lasers struck the Pyramid Dopant causing him to crash into the ground hard.
"OW! Who Shot Me?!" The Pyramid Dopant said in complaint. Before everyone looked up to see King Pyramidder in Carrier Formation with the original Ohranger Mecha, plus Red Puncher flying in! "Holy Shamoly!" Ronnie Anne exclaimed in surprise. "Ikuzo! Chouriki Gattai!" OhRed called from SkyPhoenix. At once, the SkyPhoenix, GranTaurus, DashLeon, DoguRander, and MoaiLoader, along with the Red Puncher, detached themselves from King Pyramidder as the very latter Mecha reverted back to its Pyramid from. Then, OhRed said "MoaiLoader! DoguRander! Bottom Mode!", to which OhPink and OhYellow replied by saying "Ole!" as the SkyPhoenix removed the tops from MoaiLoader and DoguRander with its talons. "GranTaurus! Middle Mode!" OhRed said, to which OhGreen replied with "Ole!". "DashLeon! Arm Mode!" OhRed said to OhBlue, who also replied with "Ole!" as GranTaurus reconfigured into the hips and waist while DashLeon transformed into the chest and arms. "SkyPhoenix! Head Mode!" OhRed announced as the SkyPhoenix folded its wings down. "Booster Output Confirmed!" OhRed said as the transformed DashLeon and GranTaurus connected to each other before the combined Mechs connected on top of MoaiLoader and DoguRander, making the latter two Mechs become the legs and feet. "Angel of insertion near!" OhRed said as the SkyPhoenix folded its head down and connected to the back of DashLeon, revealing the head of Ohranger Robo. Finally, as the five Ohrangers transferred their seats into the main cockpit, Ohranger Robo's signature helmet, the Wing Head, slid onto its head. "Ohranger Robo!" OhRed announced before the other four Ohrangers shouted "Ole!" as the fully completed Ohranger Robo stood firmly on the Sky Ring's floor.
Red Puncher, piloted by AkaRed, then jumped in and stood by Ohranger robo, taking a boxer's stance. As for King Pyramidder, it stayed hovering above the Sky Ring in its Pyramid mode. As both fights were shown on the monitors, Walter was in awe. "People in spandex, mummies, and giant robot fighting monsters? If this is a dream, no one pinch me!" Walter said. "Man, I really wish I had brought a camera and notepad!" Elaine said. "Did you know about all this, Presley?" Amanda asked Presley. "The people in spandex and giant robots? No! The Mummies, on the other hand, yes!" Presley sadly admitted. "It's a long story." He added. "One we don't have the time for!" Futaba said, telekinetically dragging Presley away as Scarab lead him and the strike team to a secret escape pod. "Just so you know, the moment this pod leaves, it sets off a 10 minute timer, once those 10 minutes are up, this entire building goes boom!" Scarab warned.
That made Presley, Amanda, Walter, and Elaine gasp in shock and horror. "Goodbye!" Scarab said as Ahmut rushed into the pod which soon rocketed from the top of the pyramid. "10 minute self destruct timer initiated." A computerized voice rang through the pyramid. That made Amanda, Walter, and Elaine really scared for their lives. "Did anyone else hear a computer voice say '10 minute SELF DESTRUCT TIMER'?!" Aurachnid asked in shock as the last of the Shabti were destroyed. That made the heroes gasp in shock. "We need to get up there and fast!" Ja-Kal said. "Oh no you don't!" Obelisk said as he, Pharos, and Golden Gate appeared. "Why aren't you running? Don't you realize if this building blows you'll go with it?!" Rath asked in anger. "We of Foundation X are willing to go through such sacrifices, besides, we're here to buy our friends some time, and to make sure you don't rescue the hostages!" Pharos said, showing an image of Amanda, Walter, and Elaine. "That's Presley's mother, and his friends Walter and Elaine!" Armon said. "But where's Presley!?" Nefertina asked. "You'll have to go through us and rescue them to find out!" Golden Gate taunted. "Dang it! Ronnie Anne, we've got a situation here! This building is going to blow in 9 minutes, there are hostages, and some Gamma Ray Zodiarts are blocking our way!" Lincoln said.
"Say What?!" Ronnie Anne asked in shock. The Ohrangers also heard this. "Yabei! Rikki, go into the Pyramid and try to rescue the hostages!" OhRed told KingRanger. "Right away!" Rikki, also known as KingRanger, replied. "Better take these blank Neo Kyutama with you!" AkaRed said as he teleported three Neo Kyutama directly to Rikki's cockpit, where the KingRanger caught them in his hands. "Arigato!" Rikki said, flying King Pyrammider over the hole where the escape pod flew out of. "Be careful, Rikki!" Rikki's companion Dorin said as KingRanger tied some rappeling equipment around his waist, her lizard Pakku in her arms. "Don't worry, Dorin, I will be!" KingRanger assured. Before going down into the hole where Scarab's office was and turning around to see Presley's mother and best friends. "Do not worry, I am one of the good guys!" Rikki assured before pulling out his signature weapon, the King Stick, and using it to break the bubbles containing them.
This immediately freed the hostages. "Now come on, we don't have much time!" Rikki said, leading the three to where the rappelling equipment was. As this was going on, OhGreen was now sitting in the main seat of the Ohranger Robo cockpit. "Horn Head, set!" He called as the bird themed Wing Head was swapped for the Bull themed Horn Head one. "Chouriki Taurus Thunder!" OhGreen called. That caused Ohranger Robo to fire out a lightning blast from its horns straight at the Pyramid Dopant. "Graviton Head, set!" OhBlue called as he took the seat, swapping the Horn Head for the appropriately Egyptian Graviton Head. "Chouriki Lion Beam!" OhBlue called. Ohranger Robo then fired a telekinetic beam at the Pyramid Dopant. Before lifting the Dopant up and slamming him down onto the ground repeatedly. "Vulcan Head, set!" OhYellow called, swapping the head for the double barreled blaster head. "Chouriki Dogu Vulcan!" OhYellow called.
Ohranger Robo then fired blasts from the twin cannons on its head. "Cannon Head, set!" OhPink said, swapping for the final single barreled head. "Chouriki Moa Cannon!" OhPink called. Ohranger Robo then fired a blast with its single cannon right at the Pyramid Dopant. "Now then, AkaRed!" OhRed called. "Right! Chohogeki Gattai!" AkaRed called. "Now then, AkaRed!" OhRed called. "Right! Chohogeki Gattai! Buster Ohranger Robo!" AkaRed called. Then, after Ohranger Robo and Red Puncher crossed arms, the two Mecha literally connected to each other back-to-back before Red Puncher extended its legs and lifted up its arms backwards until they were placed right above Ohranger Robo's shoulders. Finally, after the multi-barreled golden bracelets of Red Puncher slid themselves forwards to cover its fists, Red Puncher's head detached itself from the main body and slid itself onto Ohranger Robo's head, becoming a new helmet and completing the combination of Buster Ohranger Robo.
"Now!" Ronnie Anne said. "Prime Victory!" The Lucharangers called. "Big Cannon Burst!" The Ohrangers and AkaRed called as the two mechas fired their finishers. Both finishers hit the Pyramid Dopant dead on, causing him to yell in pain and say "LOOKS LIKE MY PYRAMID SCHEME HAS GONE TO RUIN!" before he exploded. As soon as that happened, a Gaia Riser and a burgundy Gaia Memory with the symbol of a one-eyed Pyramid (like those seen on the back of One Dollar Bill) with a curved line across the middle to make out a shape of the capital letter 'P' as well as the word 'Pyramid' written on the upper left corner had came out of the explosion and shattered into pieces..Then, once the smoke has cleared, it revealed a man with smooth black hair and dark tan skin who's wearing the signature outfit of the Inverso Mafia. The man then groaned and passed out. As this was going on, Rikki was finishing up hooking Amanda, Walter, and Elaine up to the rappeling equipment. "There! Dorin will get you three to safety." He told them.
"Who's Dorin?" Elaine asked in confusion. "My friend, don't worry, everything will be fine!" Rikki said going down the stairs as King Pyramidder lifted them up. "Min'na, Dorin's taking the hostages to safety, I'm on my way to help the Kamen Riders!" Rikki said. "Good job, Rikki!" OhRed said. As this was going on, Lincoln, Sakura, and Clyde were aiming the Trinity Buster at the Zodiarts, but it wasn't easy. "We can't get a clear shot!" Clyde said. "Azalee-chan?" Sakura asked. "On it!" Azalee said, firing a beam on the ground beneath the three Zodiarts' feet, turning it into quicksand! However, while they got caught in it, the three Gamma-Ray Zodiarts laughed, much to the heroes' confusion. "What's so funny?" Azalee asked in confusion. "Do you really think that quicksand is going to stop us?" Pharos asked rhetorically before he unleashed a bright flash of light from the Lighthouse lens-shaped lens on top of his head, causing the heroes to get blinded. "My Eyes!" Azalee shouted as she covered her eyes in pain. As soon as that happened, Obelisk spun around and burrowed his way out of the quicksand like a drill and struck the heroes with his Obelisk-shaped head! After that, Obelisk he used his strength to successfully pull Pharos and Golden Gate out of the quicksand. Then, Obelisk stomped on the ground with his feet to create a bunch of medium-sized Obelisks from the ground and launched them at heroes while Golden Gate manifested a multitude of bridge cables from his shoulders and used them like whips that struck the heroes dead on, causing the heroes to get beaten severely.
Suddenly, a familiar spinning top arrived and struck the Zodiarts repeatedly, forcing the attack to stop before returning to Kamen Rider Meteor Storm, who was accompanied by Fourze Magnet States, Ghost Grateful Damashii, Deep Specter, Necrom Sanzo Damashii, And Kanon Specter Da Vinci Damashii. "Ryusei-sempai, Gentarou-sempai, Takeru-sempai, Makoto-sempai, Alain-sempai, Kanon-sempai!" Sakura said in delight. "Shintomaru called us, and from the looks of things, it's a good thing he did!" Gentarou said. "Yeah, these are clearly a new type of Zodiarts, especially since I don't remember any constellations based on a Lighthouse, an Obelisk, and a Bridge of all things!" Takeru noted. "They're Gamma Ray Constellations, and the lighthouse one is supposed to be the Pharos of Alexandria, an ancient lighthouse that was destroyed in a series of earthquakes." Lisa explained over the comm link. "Also, the Obelisk one is actually based on the world's largest Obelisk in existence, the Washington Monument!" She added. "And obviously the bridge is the Golden Gate Bridge in San Francisco Bay." Lisa said.
"Well either way, we need to defeat them and get out of here as soon as possible!" Rikki declared as he ran down the stairs. "Whoa! Who are you?!" Lincoln asked in shock. "You're KingRanger of the Chouriki Sentai Ohranger!" Azalee said recognizing him from the temple's shrine. "That's right!" Rikki said. "AkaRed brought us here!" He explained. "Good thing he did!" Lincoln said as four more riders showed up. The first two were W and Accel, already in their FangJoker and Trial forms, while the last two are none other than ZO and J. "Shotaro-sempai, Phillip-sempai, Ryu-sempai, wait, who are these two?" Sakura asked, gesturing to ZO and J. "These are Asō Masaru and Segawa Kōji, better known as Kamen Riders ZO And J, respectively." Phillip explained. "We were in the area when Decade-sempai called everyone else, so we decided to help!" Masaru a.k.a. ZO said. "Though, we were rather surprised that Decade-sempai had reincarnated into a middle school-aged boy!" Kōji a.k.a. J said.
"Oh, tell me about it! I've known Shin-kun since we were 5 and I had no idea he was some reincarnated anti-hero!" Sakura said. "Though, I guess the fact that his past life's memories didn't resurface until sometime after his family moved to America would be one reason." She noted. "But either way, we need to get rid of these guys and escape before-" Aurachnid said as the computer voice called out '5 minutes until self destruct'. "That!" Aurachnid said. "Allow us!" Gentarou said as he, Takeru, and Phillip triggered their finishers.
Fang! Maximum Drive!
Limit Break!
Grateful! Omega Drive!
"Fang Strizer!" Philip and Shotaro announced as W jumped up into the air and performed a flying roundhouse kick with the Maximum Saber in which a projection of the Fang Memory's head is shown "biting" Obelisk when W comes in contact while forming a projection of the English Letter F. "Rider Chō Denji Bomber!" Gentarou announced as he flipped the button cover on the N MagPhone half and pressed the button behind it, causing the MagCannon to charge and then fire a burst of electromagnetism that slammed into Golden Gate. At the same time, Takeru summoned the Ghosts of the 15 Heroic Eyecons and they all appear behind the Ghost symbol behind him before combining into a powerful fire ball that Takeru hit with a flying kick straight at Pharos. All three Zodiarts then exploded, causing their switches to fly up in the air before Rikki threw the Neo Kyutama AkaRed gave him at them. The moment they made physical contact with them, the three Neo Kyutama then absorbed the three Gamma-Ray Zodiarts Switches into themselves, allowing the first Neo Kyutama to gain the chalk white image of an Obelisk (specifically the Washington Monument), the second one to gain the sand-colored image of the legendary lighthouse Pharos of Alexandria, and the third one to gain the orangish vermillion-colored image of the Golden Gate Bridge itself.
"Yatta! Great work, sempais!" Sakura she, Lincoln, and Clyde caught the three Neo Kyutama with their hands. Then, as soon as the smoke cleared, the defeated Gamma-Ray Zodiarts were revealed to be three light tan-skinned Arabic-American men, one with black hair (Pharos), one with brown hair (Obelisk), and one with blonde hair (Golden Gate), wearing white business suits. "Whoa! Those three monsters are actually humans?!" Nefertina asked in shock. "Zodiarts." Gentarou corrected. "Zodiarts." Gentarou corrected. "They're humans who use these devices called Zodiarts Switches, powered by cosmic energy, to transform into beings inspired by the 88 modern constellations, with a few former ones, and as you saw, the Gamma Ray Constellations." Ryusei explained. "Gamma Ray Constellations? What are those?" Armon asked in confusion. "Constellations with Gamma Rays as their sources of light rather than stars." Lisa explained.
"Of course, unlike regular star constellations, they can't be normally seen in the sky with the naked eyes alone, since you'd need a specialized telescope that can see Gamma Ray sources in space!" She added. "I don't think the scientists here ever mentioned such constellations in their lectures!" Rath noted. "Really? Those constellations were only recently discovered back in the year 2018, last I checked!" Lisa said. "2018? What year is your Earth in?" Rath asked in confusion. "It's in the early 2020's!" Lisa answered. "Same with the Earth we came from!" Phillip said. "They're that far forwards in time?! The current year of our Earth is 1998!" Rath said in shock. "Okay, that's just crazy." Lincoln said as Ja-Kal picked up Pharos by his collar. "I'm only going to ask you this once, where is Presley!?" Ja-Kal asked angrily, only for the three Foundation X agents to start laughing before pulling out their suicide syringes. "Do you fools really think we're telling you anything?!" Pharos asked before they plunged the syringes into their chests.
That caused all three men to yell in agony before dying and disintegrating into star dust, much to the shock and horror of the Mummies as well as ZO and J. "Yeah, Foundation X is pretty strict about their secrets." Lincoln said. "1 minute to self destruct!" The computer warned. "We need to get out of here now!" Rikki said as everyone flew out via the Vectors and Alebrije Mechs before the pyramid exploded! "That was a close one!" Armon noted. "You can say that again, Armon-san." Sakura said.
Later...
"And although no one was seriously injured, the cause of the explosion as well as Harris Stone's current whereabouts are unknown, more details to follow." The news anchorman said on the TV as everyone was recuperating at the Mummies' Sphinx Base. "So, all this time, my son is the reincarnation of Prince Rapses, and this Scarab person, who killed the real Harris Stone and stole his identity after being freed, was constantly trying to capture him in order to kill him for his soul?!" Amanda asked after the Mummies have told her, Walter, and Elaine everything, including recent events. "That's about the size of it, Mrs. Carnovan." Ja-Kal said. "I see, well, I can't thank the four of you enough for protecting Presley from that madman for the past year." Amanda said. "Yeah, too bad we were unable to protect him today, now that Scarab has gotten away with Presley in his clutches!" Nefertina said. "All the news channels are saying the same thing, no one knows where Scarab's pod took him." Carlota said as they flipped through the tv channels. "I'm afraid the internet isn't much help either, everyone is more concerned about the giant monster, mysterious jets, giant robots, and flying pyramid that appeared above the streets." Clyde said, looking on a computer.
"*Sigh!* The one downside of the 1990's, the technology isn't as advanced here as the era of our world!" Lisa complained. "They could be anywhere in the 46.87 square miles that make up the city of San Francisco!" Hoshino Goro, aka OhRed said as he, Yokkaichi Shouhei, Mita Yuji, Nijou Juri, Maruo Momo, and Rikki, aka OhGreen, OhBlue, OhYellow, OhPink, and KingRanger perused a map of San Francisco. "Don't forget the 163,696 square miles that make up the entire state of California!" Lisa said. "What about the Gaia Library?" Ryu asked Shotaro. "I already sent Phillip in with the keywords 'Futaba', 'Scarab', and 'Presley Carnovan', Phillip, how are you doing?" Shotaro asked Phillip who unfortunately wasn't having any more luck. "Not enough keywords to completely narrow it down, I'm afraid." Phillip reported. That made everyone groan in complaint. "Dang It!" Lincoln complained. Shintomaru and Stella then walked back through the Aurora Curtain. "We just dropped the Pyramid Dopant off at the Royal Woods Police Station." Stella said. "Turns out his real name is Yassir Kader and he's the ringleader of a bunch of Pyramid Schemes that the Inverse Mafia has been supporting." Shintomaru said. "What exactly are Pyramid Schemes?" Lola asked in confusion.
"Also known as 'Multi Level Marketing', Pyramid Schemes are a form of investment where paying participants recruits two further participants, those two participants than gather two more participants, and so on and so forth, in the hopes of gaining money, but in actuality, the only people who are getting money are the ones at the very top of the Pyramid, in this case, Mr. Kader and the Inverso Mafia. For obvious reasons this is illegal in the United States, but they continue to find suckers every single day and it's difficult to bust." Lisa explained. That made everyone shudder. "Any luck?" Shintomaru asked, to which everyone shook their heads. "Even the Gaia Library is a bust." Masaru said. "Mrs. Carnovan, Walter, Elaine, this is extremely important, do you have any idea where they could have taken Presley? Did they say anything about their plans?" Stella asked.
"Well, I did hear that Golden Gate Bridge guy say something about finding someone named Moroha at place called the Western Gate!" Elaine said. "Moroha is one of Futaba's Shadow Angel brethren, but what's the Western Gate?" Sakura asked in confusion. "It's a structure under the Golden Gate Bridge, only accessible at night or during a Solar Eclipse and only visible to those of Egyptian Descent." Ja-Kal explained. "But, where does the Western Gate lead to?" Aurachnid asked. "Officially, the afterlife, but it's also the realm where Scarab has gotten some of the worst enemies he has sicked on us in his efforts to get Presley from." Rath explained. "Yeah, there's Geb, who's this giant made out dirt and rocks, though he was actually tricked by Scarab into thinking Presley had summoned him against his will, Nuhn, though he ended up betraying Scarab after absorbing a large amount of water and intended to flood the entire world, Sekhmet, though it turned out he only summoned her to cure this cold that he came down with, which obviously angered her enough to go around destroying San Francisco with her plagues, especially in her half-Vulture form, and we had to make a temporary truce with Scarab to defeat her, Bes, who's this mischievous short green guy that Scarab hired to steal the legendary Tree of Life, a powerful magical plant connected to all life on Εarth, from beyond the Western Gate in order to make himself young again, but he ended up not honoring the deal and kept the Tree for himself, which ended up causing tree starting to decay and in turn cause every every living being to rapidly age, which gave us no choice but to join forces with Scarab in order to get the Tree back, though, thanks to Scarab's female cobra familiar Heka wearing a still living branch from the same tree as a laurel, Rath was able to graft the brach onto the Tree in order to help it heal itself and rejuvenate back into a small sapling before we forced Bes to take the Tree of Life back to where he took it from and have it transplanted in order to undo all of the damage he had caused, and also the Trackers of Souls, consisting of Set, Anubis, and two other guys who look like a humanoid bulldog and a wolf, though Set and Anubis were summoned by Scarab more frequently than the others, plus there's Ammut, who is this Crocodile/Lion/Hippo hybrid, though he behaved like a dog, that came along with the Trackers of Souls and ended up staying with Scarab as his pet!" Nefertina explained, though that made Lisa, Aya, Lucy, and the Junior Morticians Club rather unhappy and confused. "Okay, this can't be right, Sekhmet, in addition to being a goddess of medicine and one who also causes plagues, though people call upon her to ward off disease and heal the sick, is supposed to be a war goddess who's part-Lioness, not part-Vulture, since that bird motif belongs to different goddess named Nekhbet! Furthermore, Sekhmet was seen as the protector of the pharaohs and led them in warfare, and upon death, she continued to protect them, bearing them to the afterlife! Plus, Sekhmet was also the daughter of Ra, and was seen as a vengeful manifestation of his power, commonly called the the Eye of Ra! As for Bes, who's the deity of music, merriment, and childbirth, represented as a dwarf with a large head, goggle eyes, protruding tongue, bowlegs, bushy tail, and usually a crown of feathers, in supposed to be a protective deity that's worshipped as a protector of households and, in particular, of mothers, children and childbirth, as well said to be regarded as the defender of everything good and the enemy of all that is bad!" Lisa said. "As for Set and Anubis, they're supposed to be enemies with each other, not allies, since Anubis, who's the benevolent Egyptian god of death, mummification, embalming, the afterlife, cemeteries, tombs, and the Underworld, not to mention that he's actually Set's son, opposed Set for killing Osiris, which made Set disown him for choosing to side with Osiris's son Horus the Younger, and he also helped Isis in resurrecting Osiris as the first mummy! And while I don't know anything about the humanoid bulldog, since Bulldogs were never bred in Egypt nor even existed yet, the humanoid wolf might actually be Wepwawet a.k.a. Upuaut, the Egyptian God of funerary rites, war, and royalty association, who was also seen as a scout, going out to clear routes for the Egyptian army to proceed forward, and he's also said to be the son of Anubis himself! Plus, Ammut, better known as Ammit, isn't a mere animal hybrid that behaves like a dog, but she, yes, I mean she, as in Ammit is actually female, not male, like you all have presumed, is actually a neutral demon goddess, who played an important role during the funerary ritual, the Judgment of the Dead, where the Egyptian gods to judge the worthiness of the souls of the deceased, with the deceased's first task being to correctly address each of the forty-two Assessors of Maat, the Goddess of truth, balance, order, harmony, law, morality, and justice, by name, while reciting the sins they did not commit during their lifetime, and, after confirming that they were sinless, the deceased would be presented with the balance that was used to weigh their heart against the feather of Maat, with Anubis being the god often seen administering this test! If the deceased's heart balanced with the feather of Maat, Thoth, the Egyptian God of the Moon, wisdom, knowledge, writing, hieroglyphs, science, magic, art and judgment, would record the result and they would be presented to Osiris, who would admitted them into the Sekhet-Aaru a.k.a. the Field of Reeds, the heavenly paradise where Osiris rules! However, if their heart was heavier than the feather, it was to be literally devoured by Ammit, permanently destroying the soul of the deceased, causing them to literally cease to exist!" Lucy explained.
"Huh, you have a point there." Rath noted. "Now that you've mentioned it, my patron Goddess Bastet, who created my amulet, was revered as a benevolent being back in Ancient Egypt, yet when she came into the modern world a year ago, she wasn't so benevolent, as she was behaving so arrogantly and narcissistic, believing herself to be only goddess to be worshipped and wasn't happy to find out that there weren't any followers of her around other than myself, not to mention that she controlled me as her servant/pet and did the same thing to the local house cats and several big cats from the zoo!" Nerfertina said. "You seriously have a Goddess...for cats?" Lola asked. "They were considered sacred for the Egyptian people, they were even mummified and placed in the tombs and temples for Bastet, case in point." Lisa said, pointing to Khati.
"Meow!" Khati meowed. "And besides, Bastet is more than just the goddess of cats! She's also the goddess of protection, love, children, and arts!" Lisa informed. "Which begs the question as to what happened to your Bastet?" Lisa asked. "That is a good question." Nefertina said. "One we don't have time to answer. If Scarab's at the Western Gate, we need to follow!" Ja-Kal said. "Right! By the way, did you three heard anything else from our enemies that we need to know about?" Lincoln asked Amanda, Walter, and Elaine. "Now that you've mentioned it, I heard some of those humanoid animals mention something about finding five traitors of theirs that might still be in Egypt!" Walter said, much to everyone's shock. "Toadus-san?" Sakura asked. "Hm...what did the Animarius in question look like?" Toadus asked.
"Animarius?" Amanda asked in confusion. "That's what our species is, we're identifiable by these." Phixia said, pointing to her Soul Core. "Well there were a few with that symbol." Elaine said. "Yeah, there were three males and three females! One looked like some type of dragon with a serpentine body and tail, a pair of eagle wings on his back, a pair of arms resembling the forelegs of a lion, a pair of legs resembling the hind legs of an antelope, and a head shaped like an eagle with horns and ears like those of a gazelle as well as having a single row of three cobra heads in the middle of his head, one looked like a black carrion beetle with red markings on her head, thorax, and outer wings, one looked like a moth with a stinger underneath her proboscis, one looked like some sort of sand-colored unicorn with a long curved horn, goat-like hooves, and a beard, one looked like a some weird-looking canine with a stiff tail that's split in two at end, a pair of constantly straight and squarish/triangular ears, and a long snout with a slight downward curve, and one looked like a leopard with a long serpentine neck with snake fangs and a snake's forked tongue in her mouth!" Walter explained in full detail. "*Gasp!* Akhexus, Apshaita, Kranokola, Elisserios, Shaos, and Serpoparda!" Toadus realized. "But, that means the five traitors must be Hieracos, Crios, Phoenexus, Axcelsior, and Sakira!" Gorf realized. "Who?" Everyone asked in confusion.
"11 Animarius from the Royal Guard." Gorf started explaining. "They're collectively known as the Desert Dwellers, due to their ability to survive in any desert environments that most other Animarius soldiers don't even dare to go!" He added. "And if Akhexus really is involved, it could be an issue for you two." Toadus told Andros and Phixia. "Why's that?" The Sphinx Twins asked in confusion. "Because he's your mother's ex-boyfriend, and last we checked, he was still mad about her choosing your father over him, so I doubt meeting you two, who were born of that union, would go over too well." Toadus said. "Really? Mother never told us anything about having an ex-boyfriend!" Phixia said. "I guess she neglected to mention it to you two during your time with her!" Toadus noted. "So, what kind of mythical animals are Desert Dwellers supposed to be based on?" Lincoln asked. "Well, Akhexus is based on the Akhekh, Apshaita is based on the Apshait, Kranokola is based on the Kranokolaptes, Elisserios is based on the Elisserion, Shaos is based on the Sha, Serpoparda is based a Serpopard, Hieracos is based on the Hieracosphinx, Crios is based on the Criosphinx, Phoenexus is based on a Phoenix, Axcelsior is based on an Axex, and Sakira is based on a Sak!" Gorf explained. "The Phoenix we're all familiar with, especially since we fought a monster that's named and modeled after one, and Lisa already explained to us that a Hieracosphinx is simply a falcon-headed version of an Egyptian Sphinx and the Axex is basically an Egyptian version of a Griffin, but we don't anything about the others!" Lincoln said. "Well, the Akhekh is an Egyptian Dragon that's allied with the Evil God Set and associated with darkness and water as well as considered a symbol of terror in Egypt!" Lisa said. "That description certainly fits well with Akhexus, since he likes to spread fear wherever he and the other Desert Dwellers go, especially with his ability to manipulate both dark energy and water!" Toadus said. "Wait, if Akhexus is a based on a type of dragon, does that mean he's related to King Draco in some way?" Sakura asked. "Yeah, no, not really! All of King Draco's cousins are either based on different types of European Dragons, from his father's side, or Asian Dragons, from his mother's side, as in the case of Orochar!" Toadus said.
What about the others?" Sakura asked. "The Asphait is a mythical corpse-gnawing beetle, which is apparently inspired by the carrion beetles found in the bandages and bodies of poorly-prepared mummies!" Lisa explained. This made the mummies shudder. "Thank Anubis we don't have such creatures." Nefertina said. "Yeah, like her mythical insect motif, Apshaita likes to feed on corpses, whether they be fresh, rotten, or even dried up to the bone! *Shudder!*" Gorf said with a shudder. "EWWWWWWW!" Lola said in disgust. "Yeah." Gorf said. "Anyway, the Kranokolalaptes is a mythical moth-like insect that uses its stinger, which is located underneath its head, to attack the heads and necks of humans and cause instant death with its insanely strong venom!" Lisa explained. This caused Sakura to yelp. "It may be a moth, but the way you just described it makes it sound like an osumebachi!" She said in fear.
"A what now?" Armon asked in confusion. "In English they're called Giant Sparrow Bees and Asian Giant Hornets, Sakura's been terrified of them ever since she got attacked by a swarm of them and nearly died." Lisa said as Sakura whimpered at the memory. "The buzzing!" She whispered. That made the Mummies gasp in horror. Lincoln then hugged Sakura out of comfort. "How close was she to dying?" Ja-Kal asked in concern. "Had her older brother Kenta brought her to the hospital ten seconds later than he actually did, Sakura wouldn't even be alive today!" Lisa answered. Sakura whimpered again, fortunately, Lincoln ran his hand through her hair and kissed the top of her head. "Arigato, Lincoln-kun, I needed that!" Sakura said upon calming down. "Dang, you're good." Walter said. "When you have as many sisters as me, you learn a few things about comforting girls." Lincoln said.
"And how many sisters do you have?" Elaine asked. "Including Lucy, Lana, Lola, and Lisa over here, a total of ten sisters!" Lincoln answered. "Whoa! Ten sisters?!" Walter asked in shock. "Five older sisters, five younger sisters, no brothers!" Clyde said. "Yeah, and things get pretty chaotic there." Lana said. "Anyway, on the subject of the Kranokolaptes, its stings are deadly, unless victims are treated with its antidote, which would be a kranokolaptes drowned in oil." Lisa informed. That made everyone shudder in disgust. "Indeed." Lisa said. "Well, unfortunately for us, when it comes to Kranokola, there is no such cure to her venom! Heck, because she only needs to sting her victims just once in order to instantly kill them, Kranokola became infamously known as the One Sting Killer!" Toadus said, much to everyone's fright. "I don't think even my venom powers could counter something like that!" Scolorficunice said.
"My own body is 100% immune to all known Venoms, Poisons, and Toxins, though I'm afraid Clyde doesn't have that same protective ability!" Aurachnid said. That made Clyde gulp in fright. "Wait, Scolorfi, don't we have the ability to absorb the venom of others and use it against them?" Carlota reminded. "Oh yeah." Scolorficunice said. "And let's not forget that my own venom can and will cause anyone not from my partner's bloodline to instantly explode to death!" Aurachnid said. That caused everyone who didn't know about this beforehand to back up nervously. "Anyway." Lisa said. "The Elisserion is basically an Egyptian version of a Unicorn that dwells in deserts, but it is depicted as gigantic and, unlike modern depictions of Unicorns, has goat-like characteristics, usually the hooves and beard!" Lisa explained. "Plus, it had a single long curved horn, kind of like a mix between the horns seen a goat and an oryx! Of course, because it's an obscure mythical creature, there's not really much more information on it!" She added. "Well, Elisserios, having such a horn, can use it to impale enemies or block against bladed weapons, and he can also stomp the ground hard to either cause small tremors or, if there's sand around, cause sandstorms!" Gorf said.
"Mine and Batel's sand powers should help us with that, just in case." Sameer said. "Anyway, the Sha is a chaotic beast that's greatly associated with Set himself, souch so that Set is usually depicted as having the head of a Sha!" Lisa explained. "Was Set himself like that when you guys fought against him and Anubis?" Sakura asked the Mummies. "Well, we know in the ancient past that he had the head of a Sha, but when we fought against him in the modern era, he instead has the appearance of a humanoid hound dog with an underbite!" Rath said. "That is weird!" Clyde noted. "Well, Shaos is definitely not one to mess with, since he not only has powers over storms, but also chaos magic!" Toadus said. "Mine and Jax's storm powers can help against him, though I'm not sure about how to counter his chaos magic!" Ronnie Anne noted. "And the last one?" Lincoln asked. "The Serpopard, which is seen as a symbol of the chaos and barbarism that reigned beyond Egypt's borders that the king must tame, is usually depicted as having the body of a leopard and the neck and head of a snake, though the iconography in Egyptian temples makes it look more like a long-necked lioness due the lack of spots and having feline heads instead of serpentine ones!" Lisa explained. "Yeah, the Serpopard Animarius actually has a bit of sexual dimorphism to them, with the males having the heads and necks of snakes like Lisa's description and the females simply looking like leopards with long serpentine necks and the forked tongues and venomous fangs of a snake in the mouths of their leopard heads, the latter of which fully describes Serpoparda, who happens to be Shaos's girlfriend and is just as dangerous as him as she has similar chaos magic as him!" Toadus said.
Everyone cringed at that. Everyone cringed at that. "Were there any other Zodiarts besides the Lighthouse, Obelisk, and Golden Gate Bridge?" Ryusei asked. "They're identifiable by a series of patterns on their bodies arranged to resemble their specific Constellations." Gentarou explained. "And the ones modeled after animals don't have medallions on their left shoulders like the Animarius do!" Lincoln added. "Well, now that you've mentioned it, there one that looks like a Giraffe, one looks like a Fox, one looks like a Goose, one looks like a Pangolin, one looks like a beetle with a horn on its head, one looks like some sort of metallic being with a sundial motif, one looks like a cat, one looks like a Humanoid with Earthworm-like limbs, and the last one looks like a sort of demonic farmer with a laurel wreath wrapped around his hat and carrying a cane in his left hand and a sickle in his right hand!" Rath explained.
"Hm, sounds like the constellations Cameleopardalis, Vulpecula, Anser, Manis, Scarabaeus, Solarium, Felis, Lumbricus, and Custos Messium." Lisa noted. "The first two are modern constellations based on the Giraffe and Fox respectively, with Vulpecula literally meaning "Little Fox" in Latin, while the rest are obsolete constellations based on the Goose, which ended up becoming merged with Vulpecula, to the point of having Vulpecula being depicted as a Fox with a goose in its mouth by the neck, and having one of its stars name after it, Pangolin, European Rhinoceros Beetle, even though it's name implies a Scarab Beetle, which was what the Ancient Egyptians once viewed Cancer the Crab as, Sundial, House Cat, though it became remembered by having one of its former stars named after it, Earthworm, and Harvest Keeper!" Lisa said. "Okay, I know foxes are supposed to be tricksters in Japanese folklore, but that's no excuse to use their image for nefarious deeds!" Yui said, her ears and tail popping out, the latter wagging angrily. That caused Amanda, Walter, and Elaine to get easily spooked.
"Yui-chan, her father, Onii-chan, niece, nephew, and Paternal cousins are all part Kitsune, a fox being of Japanese folklore that has nine tails." Sakura explained. "But, she only has one tail!" Elaine pointed out. "Like the majestic Kitsune we are descended from, we grow more as we age." Yui explained. "Though, while full-blooded Kitsunes grow one tail every 1000 years until they stop at nine tails, part-Kitsunes don't take as long to grow more tails!" She added. "With us, it's more like one every 10." She said. "In my case, I probably won't grow my second tail until I'm eighteen!" Yui said. "Although I'm actually an exception to the case, since my tail came in earlier than most of those in my family, who usually grow theirs at 12 or 13." She said. "How did that happen?" Elaine asked. "That would be thanks to me! You see, I'm descended from African witchdoctors, and in my family is a recipe for a potion that when drunk by a girl, well, one result should be obvious." Aya explained, gesturing to the chests of the girls who drank the potion.
"I was wondering why you girls are so well-endowed in spite of how young you all are!" Amanda noted. "It's normally reserved for girls that are 10 years or up, but since Yui's father's side of the family are all early bloomers, and she herself was going through early puberty, it worked for her, plus as she, Sakura, and Nellie learned, the potion tends to react to non human DNA in various ways." Aya explained. "Non human DNA?" Elaine asked while looking at Sakura and Alraunellie. Sakura then allowed her wings to unfurl while Nellie shifted to her Pecadiablo form. "I'm part Nature Fairy." Sakura explained. "And I'm actually a member of a race of demons who are currently trying to conquer our world, but Panopticon over there and I defected once we fell in love with Carlota and Desco respectively." Nellie explained.
"But, isn't your lover another girl?" Walter asked while pointing at Desco. "Yeah, so?" Desco asked, kissing Alraunellie on the lips, causing her to fall over in the shock of the sudden move. "Oops, Sorry!" Desco apologized. "It's okay!" Nellie said, repaying the favor by pulling Desco into a surprise kiss of her own. "Okay, that's weird, even for me!" Elaine said. "Eh, it's pretty normal in our world, my sister Luna's in a same sex relationship." Lincoln said. "I'm the adopted son of two men." Clyde said. "And they're in same sex relationships as well." Sakura said, gesturing to Ronnie Anne and Sid, as well as Becky and Dodge. "Yeah, I think I'll just stick to boys, thank you, especially since I have a crush on Presley and all!" Elaine said, right before she realized what she had just said and then covered her mouth in embarrassment while blushing. Aya then looked at Elaine's aura. "I'll say you do, it's all over your aura!" She said with a chuckle.
"It's a spiritual energy generated by all living beings! Aya-chan can see them." Sakura explained. "I can also do this!" Aya said, shifting to her Werehyena form. That made Amanda, Walter, and Elaine become frightened. "Sorry." Aya said shifting back. "But, it's true, I do have feelings for Presley, only problem is he has feelings for Cynthia." Elaine said, rolling her eyes at Walter's sister's name. "Cynthia?" Sakura asked in confusion. "My older sister!" Walter answered. This made Clyde and Carl cringe. "Yikes, we know what that's like, before I started dating my girlfriend Chloe, and Carl started dating Yui, we both had crushes on Lincoln's oldest sister Lori, who is also Bobby's girlfriend." Clyde admitted. "Clyde even had a shrine built for her that his dads have preserved for memories!" Aurachnid said with a laugh. That made Clyde blush in embarrassment. "Dude, that's pathetic." Carl said. "Says the guy who literally wrote a song about Lori before changing every 'Lori' in it to 'Yui'." Magnifalcougar said with a chuckle. "Dude! Not cool!" Carl said embarrassed as Yui chuckled and blushed at her boyfriend's comment while hiding said blush with her tail.
"Yeah, unfortunately for Presley, my older sister doesn't really have the same affections for him! Heck, she doesn't even remember Presley's name and often calls him "Preston" or "Wesley"!" Walter said. "Well if you're interested, once everything is said and done, I could make you a potion." Aya offered Elaine. "Uh, thanks! But, how big would my chest get?" Elaine asked. "Usually, it depends on a girls age, with ten-year-olds or younger girls going through early puberty gaining a D-Cup size while girls older than ten get larger sizes!" Aya said. "Well, I'm currently twelve, though I'll be turning thirteen on the same day as Presley, which be tomorrow!" Elaine said. "In that case, you would gain an E-Cup size, which would instantly grow into an F-Cup size upon turning thirteen!" Aya said. "Of course if you do wait until your birthday which is tradition in my family, you'd go straight to an F-Cup." She added.
That took Elaine by surprise. "Of course, the breasts are only the most obvious benefit, for any girl who drinks it while possessing magical abilities, they get a boost." Aya started listing. "I don't actually have any magical abilities, unfortunately!" Elaine said. "Well, another benefit would be back-strengthening magic, to prevent backaches and stiff shoulders, and antigravity magic in the breasts themselves to prevent breathing problems and saggings! Not to mention it also prevents cancer and old age!" Aya said. "Plus you'll never die in childbirth!" She added. "That's good to know, I think!" Elaine said in slight confusion. "Were there any other enemies?" Ryu asked Ja-Kal. "Just the one that looked like a Skeletal Ghost and a bunch of those other Animarius." Ja-Kal said. "That Skeletal Ghost must be Mano Phantasma a.k.a. the Ghost Dopant, a member of the Inverso Mafia!" Azalee realized. "What are these 'Dopants', anyway?" Amanda asked.
"Like the Zodiarts, they are humans who willingly transform into monsters, albeit with the use of USB Memory Stick-shaped devices called Gaia Memories instead of Zodiarts Switches! Also, unlike Zodiarts, the motifs of the Dopants aren't that of Constellations, but of rather random stuff depending on the words on each individual Gaia Memory!" Shotaro explained. "What about the other Animarius, what kind of animals were they?" Sakura asked. "Let's see, there's a Golden Jackal, some sort of lizard-like whale, a rhino-like creature with two huge horns set side-by-side on his head, an Egyptian Cobra, a pterodactyl with a large crest on its head that's tipped with a V-shaped notch, two theropod dinosaurs, one having long and unusually slender hind legs and the other having teeth shaped like those seen on a great white shark, some sort of fish with a curved snout, a greenish-gray Toad with dark blotches between the eyes and on the shoulders and hips as well as a thin white stripe along the spine, a big humanoid Scarab Beetle, and a humanoid Ibis with wings on his back!" Walter said.
"Well, now that we have a good idea on who we're facing, we'd better get going to the Western Gate as soon as possible!" Lincoln said. "I'd like to go to this world's version of Egypt, I might be able to find the traitors Akhexus is undoubtedly after." Toadus said. "I'll go with you." Gorf said. "As will we!" Gracilus and Bufoam said. "I'll take you in King Pyramidder." Rikki said. "I've already arranged for the Blocker Robos to be able to come here just in case." AkaRed told the Ohrangers. "I've also arranged for Tackle Boy and Gunmazin to come as well!" He added. "Excellent! Let's get going!" Goro said as everyone nodded.
Meanwhile...
Scarab was taking Futaba and his team to the Golden Gate Bridge on his boat. "We're here." He said, pointing to the bridge. "I don't really see the bridge!" Mano said. "Like I said before, it is only visible to those of Egyptian descent, and I can clearly see it myself!" Scarab said. "Have you ever actually been inside of the realm beyond the Western Gate before?" Futaba asked. "I have, twice! The first time, I got forcibly pulled into there by Geb after he turned on me! *Shudder!* It took me a while to get away from him and I had to wait until nighttime to escape from there!" Scarab said. "Well, it is your own fault for tricking Geb into thinking that it was the Prince that summoned him in the first place!" Heka said smugly. "As for the second time, it was Apep, the Serpent of the Desert, who delivered the Prince to me, only to reveal that he was just using me to make himself look like a hero in front of Nefertina, who he's apparently in love with, and he then trapped me in his coils before we were both sent into the Western Gate on a cargo ship while the Mummies managed to escape with Rapses! It took me even longer to get out from his coils and escape back to San Francisco!" Scarab said bitterly.
"Whatever, you!" Futaba told Mano, firing the Portal Gun, opening a portal. "Go to the palace and bring back a fruit from the Tree of Life, and you, do whatever you need to do in order to bring Moroha here!" Futaba demanded of Scarab. "Why, yes, of course!" Scarab said. "So, what about those five traitors?" Apshaita asked. "Yeah, I called King Draco about that matter along the way via comm link, and, well, he didn't take the news very well!" Futaba said.
Cue Flashback...
In the Animarius Empire Castle, King Draco was on the comm link and heard everything that Futaba told him regarding Hieracos, Crios, Phoenexus, Axcelsior, and Sakira. Needless to say, King Draco was fuming, both literally and figuratively. "Five traitors... FROM MY ROYAL GUARD?!" King Draco asked, right before he roared angrily and then spewed out flames from his mouth in a furious manner, scaring the rest of the Pantheon. Fortunately, Stephano used his rider form's powers over water to calm King Draco down. "Don't worry, Drako old friend, how about this, Shibogumon, Akuji, and I go to this world's version of Egypt to track them down?" Stephano suggested. "Fine! But, on one condition!" King Draco said as he got up from his throne and brandished the Shi no Gutai-ka in his right hand. "And what would that be, your Majesty?" Akuji asked. "That I come along with you three, because when those traitors are found, I shall personally have them all executed for daring to leave my Empire!" King Draco declared as he sliced down a nearby Neo-Lizardon with his sword. "Of course!" Stephano nervously said.
End Flashback...
"They should be in Egypt right about now!" Futaba said. This made the Animarius gulp nervously upon hearing that their King is getting involved. "This King Draco fellow must be very powerful if you are reacting like that." Scarab noted. "You have no idea! There's a reason why he's the leader of our Empire!" Akhexus said. "He even has a sword who's name literally translates to 'Embodiment of Death'!" Apshaita said. That made Heka gulp in fright. "Hey! Trouble off the south side!" Vulpecula called, tossing a telescope to Futaba who looked to see the Vectors, Alebrije Mechs, and Blocker Robos rapidly approaching! "*Groan!* Not those meddlers again!" Futaba complained. "What?! But how?!" Scarab asked in shock. "They must have escaped the pyramid before it blew, we need to buy some time, Lensi, you have any Cherubim Soldiers at the ready?" Futaba asked the Archetypal Angel over the comm link. "Actually, yes, I have!" Lensi answered. "Excellent! Send one over!" Futaba requested. "Right away!" Lensi replied. "If I may ask, what is a 'Cherubim Soldier'?" Presley asked nervously as a portal opened up and something dropped into the water, stopping the heroes' aircraft in their tracks. "That." Futaba said, pointing on the horizon as something rose up. Specifically, it was a new model of Cherubim Soldier that had six arms, each one ending in high-tech gattling guns, and had an extra gattling gun set in the middle of its forehead.
"Ooh, nice work, Lensi, this is your most impressive looking one yet!" Futaba said. "Thank you, Futaba! And believe me, I have more designs in store!" Lensi said. "Keep up the good work!" Futaba said as the Cherubim roared, firing all the guns on it's body at the heroes, making them dodge. "What is that thing?!" Momo asked in shock. "Baranoia has nothing on it, whatever it is!" Yuji said. "That's a Cherubim Soldier, a mass-produced giant Mecha made by the Shadow Angels, and, apparently, it's another new model!" Sakura said. "We need to get rid of it and fast!" Ja-Kal said. "Fortunately, we have just the thing! Sakura?" Lincoln said. "Yes, Lincoln-kun?" Sakura asked back. "Aquarion Jewel's Bow as well as LuchaPrime's blaster should help us counter this thing's guns, so I'll let you take the lead on this one!" Lincoln said. "Ryokai!" Sakura said. "We'll loan you guys some firepower to even things up!" Aya and CJ told the Ohrangers. "Okay, if you say so!" Juri said.
"Let's do this! Nenshin!" Clyde and Aurachnid called. "Gattai!" Lincoln called. "Go, Aquarion!" Sakura called. "Dai Alebrije Gattai!" The Lucharangers called. "Choju Gattai!" Goro called. Then, while the Vectors combined into Aquarion Jewel and the first 11 Alebrije Mechs combined into LuchaPrime, the five Blocker Robos transformed and stacked on top of each other one-by-one in order to combine into OhBlocker, with Pink Blocker becoming the feet, Green Blocker becoming the lower legs, Blue Blocker becoming the waist and upper legs, Red Blocker becoming the torso, and Yellow Blocker becoming the head, shoulders, and arms. "Aquarion Jewel!" Sakura announced as Aquarion Jewel did an elegant pose. "LuchaPrime, Awaken!" The first eleven Lucharangers announced as LuchaPrime did a heroic pose. "Kansei! OhBlocker!" The main Ohrangers announced as OhBlocker did a dramatic pose. Meanwhile, everyone who had never been inside a Vector while it was forming started panting. "Pardon me, but...what was that?!" Rath asked in exhaustion.
"Ooh, right, sorry we didn't mention this before! Basically, it's spiritual energy that forms every time the Vectors combine into Aquarion, which allows us to share our emotions with each other and also metaphysically merge our minds, bodies, hearts, and souls into one in order to pilot Aquarion more efficiently!" Clyde explained. "You seriously go through that every time?!" Nefertina asked. "Yeah, crazy right?" Sakura asked as Aya and CJ formed their weapons which were caught by OhBlocker. "Skyring, descend!" Ronnie Anne called, summoning the Skyring. "Uh, one problem, how are we supposed to get up there? OhBlocker can't fly!" Shouhei said. "It has a teleporter." Ronnie Anne explained as LuchaPrime, Aquarion, and the Alebrije Mechs flew up to the Skyring before OhBlocker and the Cherubim soldier were teleported up to it. "While they're busy, do your thing and bring Moroha here now!" Futaba demanded Scarab.
Meanwhile...
Rikki in King Pyramidder was taking the Animarius and Pecadiablo allies, as well as AkaRed, Fuka, and Desco over Egypt as it landed. "We're here." He said. "And it looks like we're not the only ones who decided to come here!" Dorin said as she looked through a monitor to see King Draco and the Dark Riders traversing the dunes. "Who is that?" Alraunellie asked upon seeing King Draco. "King Draco, so he's decided to step out of his castle and track them down himself. This could be troublesome." Toadus said. "We need to find them before they do!" Gracilus said. "But how? This desert is huge!" Mambana pointed out. "If I enchant some of Panopticon's satellite eyes, I'd be able to give them the ability to detect the unique energy signatures produced by our Soul Cores no matter where they are." Toadus said. "That's better than anything I can figure out!" Panopticon noted. Before producing several eyes, which Toadus then cast a spell on before they all left King Pyramidder in various directions. "In the meantime, it might be a good idea to distract King Draco and his cronies so we have a better chance of finding where they are first." AkaRed suggested.
"Okay, but how?" Fuka asked in confusion. "Why not bring Pazuzu here?" Desco suggested. "Why not bring Pazuzu here?" Desco suggested. "That's not a bad idea! Lisa and I have already collaborated to create a special battle armor for him in case he ever needs to participate in a fight!" AkaRed said. "And while we're at it, I can call in Emizel, Nagi, and Nisa for additional help!" Fuka said as she pulled out her cellphone.
Later...
King Draco's group was walking through the desert. "Where could they be?!" King Draco asked. "Hey, what's that?" Shibogumon asked, pointing to Emizel, Nagi, Nisa, and Pazuzu, the very latter of whom wearing a golden fantasy RPG-type battle armor that covers his body, waist, arms, legs, and head while keeping his scorpion tail and four bird wings uncovered and carrying a large sword on his right hand while his demonic constrictor snake familiar Coiler was wrapped around his left arm, on the horizon. "What in the world?" Akuji asked.
(Cue "N・I・S<Kono Justice wo Mune ni>" by Tenpei Sato!)
"Hold it right there, villains! A dashing entrance in the midst of a crisis! Behold, for I am Nisa, the heroine who fights evil with hefty doses of love and courage!" Nisa announced as she did a heroic pose similar to Kamen Rider Ichigo. "Classic Nisa." Fuka and Desco said with a sigh as the villains looked on in confusion. "Is that blue-haired girl seriously trying to pretend to be a Showa Era Kamen Rider or something?" Shibogumon asked in confusion. "And not just any Showa Rider, but Ichigo?" He added. "I'm a bit more confused on who the others are!" Stephano said, referring to Emizel, Nagi, and Pazuzu. "Let's just say some friends called us in to keep you four busy!" Nagi said, hefting her wrench. "You seriously think that you, a blonde-haired glasses-wearing girl in short orange overalls with a ridiculously huge wrench, as well as a little boy in a green Parka, a blue-haired teenage girl pretending to be a Kamen Rider, and some sort of humanoid creature wearing battle gear that looks like something straight out of a Fantasy RPG video game could take all of us on?!" Shibogumon asked before laughing hysterically.
Emizel then pulled out a set of binoculars and looked through them, allowing him to see King Draco and Stephano as their past lives. "So you two are Drako and Isaka, huh? I must admit, you two and Futaba have quite the reputation..." Emizel said, pulling three holographic wanted posters depicting Drako, Isaka, and Futaba. "...and bounty amongst us over at the Afterlife Nexus." He said. "How do you know about our past lives and the Afterlife Nexus, boy?" King Draco asked in shock. "I'm Death Emizel, the current President of my own Netherworld and a Junior Grim Reaper." Emizel said, pulling out his scythe. "It's my job to know these things." He said. "Oh, I just love how cool you sound when you talk like that!" Nagi admitted. That made Emizel blush bright red and lose his composure instantly. "Nagi, can you please save that talk for when we're not fighting these guys?" Emizel quietly begged. "Oops! Sorry, my love!" Nagi apologized sheepishly. "Junior Grim Reaper or not, we're here on a mission and you can't stop us!" Akuji said, pulling out a golden Eyecon with a golden stylized hieroglyphic image of the former Sun God Aten (depicted as a solar disc emitting 14 downward rays that terminated in human hands) with an Ankh (an Ancient Egyptian hieroglyphic symbol, which is a T-shape topped by a droplet-shaped loop, meaning the key of life, not to be confused with the Bird Greed Ankh!) underneath it as well as the name 'Akhenaten' at the bottom of said image.
"Pharoah Akhenaten, father of Tutankhamun, he tried to eradicate the names of all the Egyptian Gods and have them all replaced by a single one of the sun named Aten, given the location, I think he's the obvious choice don't you?" Akuji asked, pressing the Akhenaten Eyecon to reveal the capital letter 'A' in its center, right before replacing the Eyecon in his driver with the one in his hand.
Eye! Batchiri Jaaku!
This caused a gold-and-black version of the Tutankhamun Parka Ghost with a different head sculpt, shaped like a khat headdress (the head cloth worn by the nobility of Ancient Egypt that's simpler than the nemes head-dress, as it did not have pleats or stripes and it hung down open in the back rather than being tied together) with a Pschent (the Double Crown of Upper and Lower Egypt) over top of it, and a large solar disc with 14 hand-tipped rays matching the one on the Eyecon on the Parka Ghost's back to appear. Afterwards, Akuji pulled the lever of his driver.
Kaigan! Akhenaten! (*~Egyptian-styled music playing!~*) Kamigami no sandatsu-sha (Usurper of the Gods)! Aten no shōsan-sha (Exalter of Aten)! (*Solar Flares Blazing!*)
At that moment, the Akhenaten Parka Ghost merged with Akuji and lifted up its face to form a new helmet with the same image as the Akhenaten Eyecon. Afterwards, Akuji summoned the Gan Gun Reaper into his hand, which then straightened its scythe blade upwards, taking on the appearance of a Khopesh (an Egyptian sickle-shaped sword that developed from battle axes).
Khopesh Mode!
Elsewhere, the Tutankhamun Eyecon was stirring in Makoto's Eyecon holder. "They did not!" The boy king's spirit said. This got Makoto's attention. Before the secondary rider was pulled into the Eyecon. "Tutankhamun, is something wrong?" Makoto asked. "I fear Foundation X has used my father's spirit to create one of the Eyecons used by Mortem!" Tutankhamun explained. "Your father, if I remember my history correctly, that was Pharaoh Akhenaten, wasn't it?" Makoto asked. "Yes, I'm afraid so! He tried to erase the names of all of the Egyptian Gods from existence and then have them all replaced by a single Sun God that he called Aten! After his death, as well as the deaths of my older half-brother Smenkhkare and my half-sister Meritaten, once I became Pharaoh at age 9, the first I things I did to undo my father's work was re-establish the worship of all of the Ancient Egyptian Gods, remove the Aten religion from practice, and then move the royal court away from my father's capital of Amarna! I even had my name changed from Tutankhaten to Tutankhamun to further distance myself from my father as well as to honor Amun as my patron God!" Tutankhaten explained.
"And you're saying Foundation X used him to create one of Mortem's Eyecons?" Makoto asked. "Indeed, I can sense his presence all the way in this world's version of Egypt from here!" Tutankhamun explained. "That sounds bad!" Makoto noted. "I could not agree more, you know what you are capable of when using my Eyecon, imagine what the Eyecon based on someone related to me can do!" Tutankhamun said. That made Makoto shudder. Before being allowed to exit the Eyecon. "Makoto-sempai, is something wrong?" Sakura asked. "Tutankhamun, one of the spirits whose Eyecon I use, has just warned me that he had sensed the presence of his father Pharaoh Akhenaten all way in this World's version of Egypt!" Makoto answered, causing everyone to gasp in shock, especially Takeru. "That could be a problem! Akhenaten tried to re-write everything the ancient Egyptians believed in!" Takeru said.
"Really? How so?" Lincoln asked in confusion. "He tried to erase the names of every known Egyptian God and Goddess from existence and replace them all with a single Sun God named Aten, who looks like a Sun Disk with 14 rays that are tipped with human-like hands!" Takeru explained. "Oh, I don't think some of the beings on the other side of the Western Gate would be too happy to hear that!" Armon said. "Yeah, that's one of the main reasons why Tutankhamun undid everything his father had done once he became Pharaoh at age 9!" Takeru said. "Which was only able to happen due to the deaths of both his older half brother and sister." Lisa pointed out over the comm link. "Plus, on the topic Akhenaten himself, during the reign of Pharaoh Horemheb, Akhenaten's name was struck from Egyptian records, with all of his religious and governmental changes becoming undone and the capital of Egypt being returned to Thebes! Heck, the return to the previous capital and its patron deity Amun was accomplished so swiftly that it seemed the monolatrist cult of Aten and its governmental reforms had never existed, at least until Archeologists had rediscovered its existence thousands of years later!" She added.
The Tutankhamun Eyecon then entered Sakura's body, possessing her as evident by the robe she was now wearing which was similar to the Tutankhamun Damashii. "Serves him right." The boy king said before exiting Sakura's body, leaving her confused. "Yeah, they can do that." Takeru, Makoto, Alain, Kanon, Shintomaru, and Edge said sheepishly. "Wait, I've been briefly possessed, and by a male?!" Sakura asked in realization. Makoto then entered the Tutankhamun Eyecon and exited. "He apologizes, saying you were the nearest one." Makoto said. "Apology accepted!" Sakura said. "Yeah, when it comes to possession, the Parka Ghosts don't really discriminate when it comes to gender, our friend Akari was once possessed by Beethoven, Houdini possessed a girl named Yuki, Kanon-chan was possessed by Billy the Kid." Takeru said.
However, the Cherubim kept firing it's guns at the mechs. "Okay, you think you have some big guns, do you? Big Bang Smasher!" Sakura called, slamming her fist into the button that arms Aquarion Jewel's weapon. However, as soon as Aquarion Jewel had finished charging and then fired its Big Bang Smasher from the twin turbines on its chest, the Cherubim Soldier quickly dodged out of the way before it could be hit, causing the finisher to miss it. "Mou!" Sakura complained. "Wait, was that a laser blast that just came out from Aquarion Jewel's chest?!" Momo asked in shock. "There's this one guy in Neo DEAVA, the organization that gave us the Vectors, who's a real pervert, always calling girls' chests 'Big Bangs' so he bribed one of the people working on the Vectors to move them from the palms to the chest." Sakura explained. That made everyone, especially the females, groan in complaint. "Yeah." Sakura said, crossing her arms over her chest. As this was going on, Scarab was chanting and soon a spectral figure emerged from the Western Gate, although to everyone but him and Heka, it seems the figure appeared out of nowhere.
Specifically, it was a purple male insectoid humanoid who has six eyes (although he hides five of them behind a reddish scarf wrapped around his head), a horn on both sides of his head, four arms (although the upper two of them are more like scythes, kind of like the front limbs of a Praying Mantis), almost bird-like feet with two toes at the front and one toe at the back, and bug-like wings that look like they are without feathers, but, up close, they are actually covered in thousands of feathers that resemble insect wings. Heka cringed. "You certainly have some ugly looking friends, and since I hang out with this guy, that's saying something!" She said, gesturing to Scarab. "I heard that one, Heka!" Scarab said in annoyance. "Moroha!" Futaba said in delight upon seeing the spiritual Warrior Angel. "That voice... Futaba, is that really you?!" The insectoid, now identified as the Warrior Angel Moroha, asked in shock and surprise.
"But how?" Moroha asked. "In a minute, but for now..." Futaba said, pulling out Moroha's feathers and breaking the amber encasing them before Mano handed him a fruit from the tree of life. "We need to get you back up and running!" Futaba said, inserting the feathers into the fruit. That caused Moroha to glow as his spirit entered the fruit itself. Before the fruit burst, revealing the Warrior Angel in all his glory, panting from the experience. "Finally, after spending 12,000 years in that accursed realm, I am back! And I'm feeling a little stir crazy!" Moroha declared. "Well, you're in luck! If you just look right up there, you can find some good opponents for you to stretch your wings with!" Futaba said, pointing up to the Skyring. Moroha started laughing a bit. Before zipping up in a flash. "Is everyone of your species this crazy?" Presley asked in fright.
"Nah, Moroha is a lot more eager to fight than the rest of us!" Futaba said. "But the crazy thing may be debatable, now that I think about it." Futaba admitted.
Back with the heroes...
They were still struggling to hit the Cherubim soldier when all of a sudden, Moroha, with lightning quick speed, struck each and every one of the mechas! "Holy Shamoly! What the heck was that?!" Clyde asked in shock and confusion. "Uh, guys?" Lincoln asked, pointing up to Moroha, who was laughing, slowly getting crazier with each passing second! "Who on Earth is that ugly insectoid?!" Juri asked in disgust. "I am Moroha! The Warrior Angel of the unstoppable Shadow Angel race!" Moroha declared before flying straight into Aquarion Jewel's face. "So this is the latest model of Aquarion, huh? Doesn't look like much to me!" Moroha said before attacking the mecha by crossing his arms together and slicing with his blades in an 'X'.
That caused Aquarion Jewel to get instantly knocked back. This made Moroha laugh even crazier. "Oh man, does it make me happy to see the last 12,000 years haven't caused you to lose your touch, Moroha! I'm sure the others will be glad to see you alive and well too!" Futaba told Moroha as he flew up next to him. "The others? You mean that Johannes, Lensi, Shila, Golshi, Otoha, and Toma are here too?!" Moroha asked in excitement. "Johannes, Lensi, Shila, and Golshi are eagerly awaiting your return, Toma got reborn and currently, much to my anger, peacefully resides inside the body of a human who is the reincarnation of Appolonius, and we're still working on finding Otoha." Futaba admitted. "On top of that, you're the only one that ended up in this world, the others are in another world, it's complicated, we'll explain later, but for now..." Futaba said, telekinetically lifting the mechs up. "Scarab came up with the brilliant idea of sending these guys through that Western Gate thing!" Futaba said giddily.
"Yabei! Makoto-niichan, you'd better get out of here and warn AkaRed-san and the others about our whereabouts!" Takeru said to Makoto. "Right!" Makoto said as Sakura teleported him away. As soon as Makoto managed to make out onto the Fisherman's Wharf, he turned around and saw Aquarion Jewel, LuchaPrime, and OhBlocker being forcibly pushed underneath the Golden Gate Bridge and then suddenly vanish. "I need to get to Lisa-chan!" Makoto said, pulling out the Houdini Eyecon and placing it in his Driver.
Eye! Bacchiri Mirou! Bacchiri Mirou!
As that happened, the Machine Hoodie appeared out of a sealing circle and jumped into the air while transforming into its true form of the Houdini Parka Ghost. Makoto then pulled the lever of his driver.
Kaigan! Houdini! (Drum roll and cymbal flourish) Mashi-i-jan! Sugee magician! (Seriously awesome! A great magician!)
That caused the Houdini Parka Ghost to merge with Makoto to form his Houdini Damashii. Before he took off towards the boat. "And now that those nuisances are taken care of-" Scarab said, approaching Presley, only for Makoto to grab the bubble. "Sorry, but not tonight!" Makoto said, flying towards the Sphinx. "What the? Somebody Stop Him!" Scarab angrily yelled. "I've got this, Henshin!" Futaba called, activating his driver.
(*~Medeval Music!~*) Rise up! Sword out! Fight on! Kamen Rider Tetra, Knight Mode! (*Sword Swishing!*)
Futaba then transformed into his primary Rider form, much to Moroha's surprise. "I'll explain later, but for now." Futaba said, switching the dial to Eagle.
Eagle Mode, Activate! (*~Epic Hard Rock Music~*) Wings Up! Talons Out! Fly High! Kamen Rider Tetra, Eagle Mode! (*Eagle Screeching!*)
Afterwards, Futaba changed into his Eagle Mode and then took off. "I don't know who you are, but thanks!" Presley told Makoto. "Don't thank me yet, kid, you may be safe, but my friends and yours aren't so lucky!" Makoto said. Suddenly, an arrow flew by, narrowly missing Makoto. "Oh man, not again!" Presley said as Futaba chased them through the sky. "Who's that guy?" Makoto asked. "One very angry Shadow Angel/Kamen Rider!" Futaba said, pushing a button on his driver.
Eagle! Divine Punishment!
"Eagle Arrow Storm!" Futaba said, firing an arrow that split into a swarm of them that got covered energy projections shaped like Eagles. "Oh crud." Makoto said, flying and trying to avoid the arrows before tossing Presley up and triggering his own finisher.
Daikaigan! Houdini! Omega Drive!
At that moment, Makoto allowed the Machine Hoodie in Glider Mode to bind Futaba with chains generated from the turbines, right before he then jumped towards the Dark Rider with a drill kick. The kick slammed into Futaba, causing him to start falling to the ground, only for Moroha to zip in and grab him at the last second. "Phew, thanks for the save, Moroha!" Futaba said as Makoto grabbed Presley and resumed flying back to the Sphinx. "No problem! We've lost you once and I'm certainly not going to let that happen again!" Moroha said. "So what do we do about him?" Moroha asked, gesturing to the fleeing Makoto. "Let him go for now, I already have a good idea of where he's headed, but for now we need to regroup and figure out what to do from here." Futaba said as Moroha flew back to Scarab.
Meanwhile, with the others...
"Well, this is certainly something you don't see every day!" Lincoln said as he and everyone else got out of the Mechas and saw a vast bright sandy desert with twisted leafless bushes and various types of weirdly shaped natural stone structures, all under a dark starry sky with various planet-like celestial objects hovering above. "This is what's on the other side of that Western Gate thing?" Shouhei asked in shock. "Space isn't this barren!" Gentarou said in awe. "Just what kind of place is this?" Masaru asked in confusion. "Well, this is the Realm beyond the Western Gate, which is officially considered the Afterlife for us Egyptians!" Ja-Kal said. "This place is what you call an Afterlife?!" Takeru asked in confusion. "Unfortunately, yes." Rath said. "We've got to figure out a way out of here!" Lincoln said. "Any idea how?" Sakura asked. "There was this one time where Scarab was dragged here by Geb, but the only people who know how he got out are Scarab, Heka, and Geb, and I don't think Scarab and Heka are willing to talk." Nefertina said. "Geb?" Kōji asked in confusion. "He's the Spirit of the Earth, appropriately named so because of the fact that he's a massive giant made out of rocks and dirt!" Rath answered. "Ah, we've heard of him in Egyptian legends we sometimes read! Geb, who's obviously the Egyptian god of the Earth, though he wasn't depicted as a giant made of soil and stone, but rather as a man with an Egyptian Goose standing on top of his head or as a man with the head of a Snake, was believed to be the cause of earthquakes through his laughter and that he allowed crops to grow!" Lucy said.
"You don't suppose he'd be willing to help us, would you?" Lincoln asked. "Yeah, thing is, Geb doesn't like to be disturbed, especially when he's either sleeping or trying to relax in a mud bath!" Armon said. "Something Scarab once tried to take advantage of by framing Presley for waking him up." Ja-Kal said. "Let me guess, he's rather grumpy and easy to anger, right?" Clyde asked. "Very!" The mummies said in agreement. "Shin-kun, do you think one of your Aurora Curtains could get us out of here?" Sakura asked Shintomaru. "I wish I could, but, unfortunately, something here in this realm is preventing me from doing so!" Shintomaru said as he tried to summon an Aurora Curtain, but couldn't get one to appear. "Mou!" Sakura said in complaint.
Meanwhile...
Makoto took Presley to the Sphinx before using the Gan Gun Hand to break the bubble. "Thanks, it was getting cramped in there." Presley said. "You're welcome!" Makoto replied. "So, uh, Mr... I'm sorry, I never got your name!" Presley said in confusion. "Fukami Makoto, Kamen Rider Specter. And for future reference, Fukami is my last name, we just say it before our first in Japan where I'm from." Makoto explained, undoing his transformation. "Kamen Rider? What exactly is a Kamen Rider?" Presley asked in confusion. "The 'Kamen' part is a Japanese word meaning mask or masked, the original Kamen Rider was a man captured and turned into a cyborg by the criminal organization, Shocker with the hopes of brainwashing him into one of their soldiers, but he was able to escape and fight them, ever since the title 'Kamen Rider' has been used by people who use powers from various means to fight evil, although as that guy who tried to shoot us down proved, there are some evil ones, called 'Dark Riders'." Makoto explained.
"Yeah, that Futaba guy seems to have some real serious issues!" Presley noted. "Trust me, I've seen worse." Makoto said, leading Presley into the hole Futaba had made previously. "Presley!" Amanda said, rushing over to her son. "Mom!" Presley said as his mother hugged him tightly. "Where's Lisa? I need to talk to her." Makoto asked Amanda, Walter, and Elaine. "I'm right over here!" Lisa said as she walked on over. "Mecha Pollon and I were just working on something new." Lisa explained. As she said, the mechanical winged hound Mecha-Pollon came into view. "Well we have a problem." Makoto said.
In Egypt...
While Nisa was fighting against Shibogumon, and Emizel and Nagi were teaming up against Stephano and Akuji, Pazuzu was fighting directly against King Draco himself and was able to keep up with him. "You're surprisingly strong enough to take me on! Just who are you, anyway?" King Draco asked as he and Pazuzu clashed swords against each other. "I am Pazuzu, the Mesopotamian Demon God of the Western Wind!" Pazuzu answered. "Isn't that also the name of the demon from 'The Excorsist'?" Akuji asked, deftly countering Emizel's scythe with the Gan Gun Reaper. "*GROAN!* For Crying Out Loud! That Movie Demon Is A Very Inaccurate Depiction Of Me! I Don't Possess People, I'm Not In League With This Devil Character, and I Don't Go Around Killing People, Especially Children!" Pazuzu said in irritation. "Then, what do you do?" Stephano asked. "Well, I was often summoned by people to help protect pregnant women from my malicious rival Lamashtu, so that she wouldn't kill and eat any newborns!" Pazuzu answered.
Alraunellie growled in anger at the idea of what Lamashtu would do. "It's okay, Nellie! Lamashtu was already destroyed, remember?" Desco reminded in a sweet tone. "I know, but still." Nellie said. "What? Oh man, this could prove problematic, thanks for the call." AkaRed said over the communicator. "Okay, good news, Presley is safe, bad news, Lincoln and the others aren't so lucky, they got sent to the realm on the other side of that Western Gate thing." AkaRed explained. That made everyone gasp in shock. "Yeah, and Makoto was the only who managed to get away before everyone else got sent there! Plus, he's requesting to come to our location, mostly because Tutankhamun, the Pharaoh spirit whose Eyecon he's using, felt the presence of his father Akhenaten here!" AkaRed said. This made everyone cringe. "Well fortunately, I've got some good news as well, my satellite eyes picked up five Animarius signatures about a mile north of here." Panopticon reported.
That took everyone by delightful surprise. "Perfect, Rikki, get this thing back in the air, Lisa, set your teleporter to these coordinates and send Makoto." AkaRed instructed as Lisa did so. "There, be careful, Makoto, based on what we've seen so far, Mortem is no pushover." Lisa warned. "Seriously, we've already seen him use Eyecons containing the spirits of Jesse James, Genghis Khan, Al Capone, and Akechi Mitsuhide!" She added. "Jesse James, Genghis Khan, and Al Capone we're familiar with, but who's Akechi Mitsuhide?" Walter asked as the Nobunaga Eyecon popped out and possessed Lisa. "A NO GOOD TRAITOR!" The spirit of Japan's unifier declared. That made everyone get spooked. "Yeah, they can do that, you see, in these items called 'Eyecons' reside the spirits of various people who lead extraordinary lives, in this case, it's Oda Nobunaga, a Japanese Daimyo who is known as 'Japan's great unifier', and Mitsuhide was a general of his, only to betray him, leading to Nobunaga committing Sepuku, which is a form of suicide Samurai would go through." Makoto explained.
"Suicide?! To us Americans, that's an act of cowardice and sin!" Amanda said in shock. "The Afterlife Council doesn't take too kindly to it either!" Fuka said over the commlink. "Well, to us Japanese people, taking one's own life was considered honourable among the feudal Japanese samurai class, as we would rather die with honour than allow ourselves to fall into the hands of our enemies and likely be tortured!" Nobunaga argued in defense. Before exiting Lisa's body, leaving her with an odd feeling. "And here I've been dismissing Lucy's stories about ghosts and possession as mere hogwash." She lamented. "Sorry about that, Lisa-chan! Apparently, when it comes to possession, the Heroic Spirits of the Eyecons do not discriminate between gender or age!" Makoto apologized. "A little warning would have been nice." Lisa said pushing the button on the teleporter, sending Makoto near the battle. "Shall we do this, Tutankhamun?" Makoto asked, summoning his driver and pulling out the Specter and Tutankhamun Eyecons. "Absolutely! It's about time that I properly confront my own father after all these years!" Tutankhamun replied from the Eyecon.
Meanwhile, at the Western Gate dimension...
Everyone was wandering through the vast desert. "There's got to be some way out of here. Can't we just go through the Western Gate again?" Lincoln asked. "The gate disappears at first light, which according to my calculations was about 5 minutes ago." Rath said. That made everyone groan in complaint. Clyde then started thinking about something. "I wonder, the sun rises in the East and sets in the West, right? So, maybe since there's a Western Gate only visible once the sun sets, shouldn't there be an Eastern Gate only visible once it rises?" He asked. "There is! But it's all the way in Egypt." Ja-Kal said. "Dang It!" Clyde complained. "And like the Western Gate, it's only visible to those of Egyptian Descent." Rath regretfully informed. "Double Dang It!" Clyde complained. Just then, everyone heard maniacal laughter as four nearby stones turned into monsters, specifically a Minotaur, a Gorgon (snake-haired woman, the race that Medusa belonged to), a blueish Golem (a Humanoid made out of clay, and a Griffin that had the front paws of a Lion and the hind legs of a Horse. "So, you all must be new here, aren't you?" The Minotaur asked with a wicked grin. "Well, yeah, you're right, we are new here!" Lincoln said nervously.
"Wait, I'm confused, aren't Minotaurs and Gorgons supposed to be of Greek Myth?" Takeru asked, noticing the two. "Hey, you're right! And, isn't that a Golem, which I'm pretty sure is actually from Jewish myth?" Clyde said while pointing at the Golem. "Okay, some of us here are originally from the Greek Underworld, but we got transferred here because we were being too rowdy for Hades to handle, so sue us!" The Gorgon said. "As for me, well, I was originally made in the human world, but after I had wandered off upon coming alive, I ended up getting myself trapped here by wandering into a strange gate before it disappeared behind me, okay?" The Golem said. "Eh, I suppose that makes sense." Lincoln shrugged. "What about him? I mean, I know he's supposed to be some type of Griffin, but the horse hind legs kind of makes him more like a Hippogriff than anything!" Philip said while pointing at the Griffin, who simply screeched in response to that. "I'll handle this, guys! I can understand animal languages!" Lana said.
She then approached the Griffin and started talking to him while the Griffin screeched back. "This has got to be the weirdest thing I've ever seen." Juri said, everyone else not already familiar with Lana's quirks nodding in agreement. "Yeah, Lana is really good with animals, which apparently includes mythical ones!" Lincoln said. "She even once roped me into a scheme where she wanted to free a bunch of frogs that were scheduled for dissection." Lincoln admitted. That took everyone by surprise. "And don't get me started on the lengths she went to to protect a family of fish." Lincoln said. "I REGRET NOTHING!" Lana said as she finished her conversation with the Griffin. "What did he say?" Sakura asked. "Well, apparently, he actually refers to himself as a Hippoleogriff, mainly because his mother was a Hippogriff while his father was a different kind of Griffin called an Opinicus, which basically looks like a regular Griffin but with all four legs being that of a lion instead of just the hind legs and having no external ears, along with having the tail of a camel, hence why he has Lion front paws instead of Eagle legs!" Lana explained.
"Oh, that makes sense." Everyone said, nodding in agreement with Sakura saying "I'm part fairy, so I can see that." "Same with me, since I'm actually part-Leprechaun!" Cianán said. "Anything else?" Nefertina asked. "Oh, yeah, he was originally from the human world, until he got caught by some bounty hunters after he constantly terrorized a nearby village and nearly all of the people's food, both meat and plant-based products, and was then banished here by a sorcerer!" Lana said. Everyone cringed at that. "Listen, we shouldn't be here, do you guys have any idea how to get out of this realm?" Lincoln asked. "There are only two ways to do so, either get summoned by someone from either gate, or find this side of them." The Minotaur explained. "Ooh! That last one's going to be a problem, because the Western Gate has already been closed until sunrise and we are nowhere near the Eastern Gate!" Aurachnid said. "And for some reason, my Aurora Curtains which normally allow us to travel between worlds, aren't working!" Shintomaru complained, continuing to try and open said curtain.
"Perhaps, I'll be willing to help!" A voice said as a green humanoid Cobra with lean muscular arms and no legs slithered into the scene alongside a brown Humanoid Crocodile, a green-and-brown monstrous humanoid turtle, a red humanoid scorpion, and a bright green humanoid Mantis. "It is wonderful to see you again, Nefertina." The snake said. "Apep." Nefertina said, recognizing his voice to which Aya looked at their auras. "Oh, so this being is known as Apep, the Serpent of the Desert, who was banished from Egypt by Prince Rapses's grandfather! As for the Crocodile, Turtle, Scorpion, and Mantis, they are Apep's followers, named Sesh, Pesh, Tesh, and Mesh, respectively! They also call themselves the Desert Princes after taking on the forms of a San Francisco biker gang of the same name!" Aya said. "And he seems to have a thing for Nefertina, which appears to be mutual." She added, taking a closer look at the two's auras.
"Although, his last attempt to make her his queen was rather misguided, as he had kidnapped Presley from his house and then delivered him to Scarab on a boat, only to reveal to the latter that it was a trick, just so that he would deliver Scarab as a wedding gift to Nefertina and make himself look like a hero!" Aya said with slight disappointment. This caused all the girls present to glare at Apep as he took on his human form Pep. "Not my finest moment, I'll admit." He said. "Of course, I did end up trapping Scarab with my tail so that I would allow Nefertina and her friends to escape with the Prince just before the floating cargo ship we were on sank down beneath the bridge and sent us both to the realm beyond the Western Gate!" He added. "If I remember what I read about Egyptian Mythology correctly, isn't Apep another name for Apophis, the serpentine Egyptian god of Chaos, polar opposite to Ma'at, Goddess of Truth and Order, and sworn enemy of the Sun God Ra, who Apophis tries to swallow whole?" Lucy asked. "Yeah, truth is, I'm actually named after that Chaos God, so I'm obviously not the same being as him!" Apep said. Before shuddering. "And trust me, he is not friendly!" He said. Everyone else, including the Minotaur, Gorgon, Golem, and Hippoleogriff, shuddered at that.
"Apep-san, you said you might be able to help us escape this realm?" Sakura asked. "Yes, while we can't use the Western Gate right now for obvious reasons, we do know a way to the Eastern Gate, and that would be to follow the Solar Barque, which would be driven by Ra and Khepri!" Apep said. "That's a risky move, no mortal could traverse that road on foot." Ja-Kal said. "The Vectors, Alebrije Mechs, and Blocker Robos should help us on that front." Lincoln said. "Huh?" Apep asked in confusion. "We'll explain later, but for now, we have little choice, Apep, can you take us to this Solar Barque?" Lincoln asked, as unbeknownst to anyone, an African Wild Dog was watching from afar. The African Wild Dog then growled a bit before turning around and running off to its master.
Back In Egypt...
As King Draco, Shibogumon, Stephano, and Akuji were fighting against Pazuzu, Nisa, Nagi, and Emizel respectively, Makoto came charging in, carrying the Tutankhamun Eyecon in his hand. He then loaded it into his driver.
Eye! Batchiri Mirou! Kaigan! Tutankhamun! Pyramid wa Sankaku! Oke No Shikaku! (Triangular Pyramids! Do As The Pharoah Bids!)
Donning the Tutankhamun Damashii, Makoto pulled out the Gan Gun Hand in it's Sickle mode and attacked Akuji in a way that knocked the Gan Gun Reaper out of his hand and into the sand. "Kamen Rider Specter. I wasn't expecting to see you here." Akuji said. "Well I wasn't expecting to hear that Foundation X made an Eyecon based off Akhenaten of all people, in fact you should be glad you aren't currently using Mitsuhide, I doubt Nobunaga would be as lenient as Tutankhamun and I were just now." Makoto said. This made the spirit of Akechi Mitsuhide shudder from within his Eyecon. "It's not my fault the Foundation has better choices in Eyecons than you, Tutankhamun didn't even make it to 20 years of age!" Akuji pointed out. This made Tutankhamun so angry that several red appeared on his head. "At least my guy didn't commit what is essentially Blasphemy!" Makoto pointed out.
"Blasphemy? BLASPHEMY?! HOW DARE YOU TALK TO ME ABOUT BLASPHEMY, ESPECIALLY AFTER HOW I'VE LEARNED THAT MY OWN NAME AND RELIGION WAS ERASED FROM THE RECORDS!" The voice of Akhenaten himself angrily shouted as Akuji's form glowed bright gold. "YOU DESERVE TO HAVE YOUR NAME STRICKEN FROM THE RECORDS! I JUST WISH I HAD DONE IT MYSELF!" Tutankhamun shouted back. "YOU UNGRATEFUL SON OF MINE, I'LL MAKE YOU PAY FOR UNDOING THE WORSHIP OF ATEN!" Akhenaten angrily declared as the Aten-themed Sun Disc on his back detached itself and floated upwards into the air before it charged up and fired out a solar beam from its center. Makoto narrowly dodged the attack. "As I believe the saying goes these days, BRING IT!" Tutankhamun called as both riders pulled out their weapons and charged, clashing blades. While this was going on, King Pyramidder was touching down outside a pyramid. "The signatures picked up are in that pyramid." Panopticon explained.
"A Pyramid? Now why would they all be hiding in there for?" Mambana asked in confusion. "Only one way to find out." Rikki said. "I just hope these guys can keep King Draco and his cronies busy long enough for us to find them, from the looks of things, Makoto and Akuji's Damashiis aren't exactly happy to see each other." Nellie said as she watched the battle between the two Eyecon wielders, Makoto and Akuji attacking each other with their blades and Tutankhamun and Akhenaten attacking each other with words! This made everyone shudder. "This certainly reminds us of how much our father hates us for falling in love with human kids!" Andros noted. Before he and Phixia pulled out phones and showed pictures of them with Duafe and Mpatapo respectively. "That's rather sweet!" Rikki noted.
"True, but for now, let's get going!" Andros said, soon they were all walking inside the pyramid. "Be careful everyone, who knows what's in here?" AkaRed said. "He's right, there could be booby traps hidden within this place!" Gorf said. "Duly noted." Nellie said. Unbeknownst to any of them, a shadowy figure was watching from above and growling in anger as they saw Gracilus and Bufoam, but making confused noises as they saw Toadus and Gorf. "Does anyone else get the feeling that we're being watched right now?" Fuka asked nervously. "Come on, Big Sis, there's tons more scarier things down in Hades!" Desco pointed out as the figure dashed away. "Oh, right, I guess that's a good point there, Desco!" Fuka noted.
Elsewhere in the Pyramid...
There were four Mythical Animarius, all of them having the Symbol of the Mythical Army on their left shoulders, inside of a room with a golden sarcophagus big enough to fit a twelve-year-old boy. The first one was a male humanoid Lion with a Falcon's head and large wings on his back (Hieracosphinx). The second was another male humanoid winged Lion, this time with a horned Ram's head (Crios). The third was a male humanoid Phoenix (an Eagle-like bird with fiery red feathers and a feathery crest) with large wings on his back (Phoenexus). Finally, the fourth one was a female humanoid creature that had the head of a hawk, an upper half and arms like those of a lioness, an lower half and hind legs like those of a horse, and a long cat-like tail that ends in a fully bloomed pink lotus flower, plus she was wearing a white Egyptian gown (Sakira). "Guys, we have a problem!" A voice called as the shadowy figure that was just trailing the group jumped in.
That's when it was revealed to be a slender yet athletic male humanoid light tan-colored Cheetah/Leopard hybrid with bird-like wings on his back and a hawk-like head with a vertical row of three curved appendages on top of it as well as cheetah-like eye stripes below his eyes and a black stripe on each of his head that ran all the way down to the bottom of his neck (Axcelsior). "Axcelsior, what's wrong?" The female asked. "They found us! I don't know how, but they found us!" Axcelsior said worriedly. That made the rest of the Mythical Animarius gasp in shock. "Are you certain?" The Falcon-headed Winged Lion asked. "Positive! I saw Gracilus, Bufoam, a Black Mamba Animarius, must be new, and for some reason, Toadus and Gorf walking through!" Axcelsior said. That made everyone gasp in shock and confusion. "Were there anyone else?" The ram-headed winged lion asked. "Two young ones, around 10 years of age, look like Sphinxia." Axcelsior said.
"Plus, there was a teenage human female wearing blue clothing, a demonic male humanoid covered with eyes, a young plant-themed humanoid female two purple flowers on her head, a young demonic humanoid female with some sort of strange-looking cephalopod-like creature on her back, a human male wearing a black suit and helmet with a golden chestplate, and another male wearing a red suit and helmet with a high collar around his neck!" He added. "That's strange." The female noted. "Yeah, especially the young Animarius, there haven't been any more Animarius children in a very long time!" The Phoenix said. "You said they resembled Sphinxia, as in Akhexus' ex-girlfriend who left him for General Leo?" The ram headed winged Lion asked. "Yes, though only one of them is clearly female while the other one is male!" Axcelsior said. "Could they be Sphinxia and Leo's children?" The Phoenix asked.
"Now that you've mentioned it, they both have golden hair on their heads and golden fur on their Lion-like bodies like those of General Leo himself, so it's possible!" Axcelsior noted. "I mean they're definitely not Akhexus', Sphinxia made it pretty clear that she wanted nothing to do with him when she went to General Leo." He added. "Yeah, what our cousin sees in that Nemean Lion Animarius, we have no idea!" The Falcon-headed Winged Lion said, to which the Ram-headed Winged Lion nodded in agreement. "Well the fact that he's a general probably had something to do with it." Axcelsior said. "But, the more important thing here is what should do about the intruders?" Axcelsior asked. They all gulped nervously. "Honestly, I don't know, especially since one of them is General Toadus himself!" The Phoenix said. "How did they even get here?! We're in a completely different dimension!" The female pointed out.
"I'm not sure about that myself!" Axcelsior said. "I think I hear something in here!" Phixia's voice called out. "Oh no! They're coming here! What do we do?!" The female asked in fright. "Hide!" Axcelsior said as they scrambled to do so. As soon as the five Mythical Animarius managed to hide within the many piles of treasure, which consisted specifically of golden coins, various types of gemstones, pottery, statues, and ancient children's toys, the group led by AkaRed had managed to enter the room. "Woah, look at this place." Fuka said. "The ancient Egyptians buried their Royalty in Pyramids, this must be whoever is in that sarcophagus' tomb." AkaRed noted. "Speaking of the sarcophagus itself, does anyone else notice how small it is?" Rikki said upon pointing at said object. "Hey, you're right, Rikki! That sarcophagus is only big enough to hold a child, possibly a twelve-year-old, given the height!" AkaRed noted.
"Maybe these can tell us more." Nellie said, pointing to some hieroglyphics on the wall. "Does anyone understand whatever it is they're saying?" She asked. "Those are Hieroglyphs, the formal writing system used in Ancient Egypt for writing the Egyptian language! Hieroglyphs combined logographic, syllabic and alphabetic elements, with some 1,000 distinct characters!" AkaRed said. "Unfortunately, I do not understand a single one of them." AkaRed admitted. That made everyone groan in complaint. "*Sigh!* Looks like I have to do it, since our mother taught us about human languages during our first ten years of life, including extinct languages like this one!" Phixia said in annoyance. Phixia then approached the wall and studied it carefully. "Oh my gosh! Guys, we just found the tomb of Prince Rapses! As in the Egyptian Prince that Presley is reincarnated from!" She said. That made everyone gasp in surprise. It also made the five Mythical Animarius, who were still hiding in the treasure piles, very shocked to learn that Prince Rapses has already reincarnated.
"This wall tells the whole story, how he was tricked and killed by Scarab, how Ja-Kal, Rath, Armon, and Nefertina tried to stop him, but their efforts were in vain, and how Pharoah Amenhotep sealed Scarab inside a tomb of his own!" Phixia said. "Yikes! That's horrible!" Rikki said. "What about these over here?" Desco asked, pointing to more hieroglyphs on the opposite wall as Phixia approached said wall. "It says not long after the incident, seven mysterious creatures started wreaking havoc on Egypt, but five of them turned on their friends, actively fighting to protect the people, eventually reducing them to medallions, out of gratitude, Amenhotep asked them to guard Prince Rapses' body as he moves on to the afterlife and eventually gets reborn." Phixia explained. "I recognize those seven creatures! The ones that got turned into medallions must be Shaos and his girlfriend Serpoparda! That means the five that turned on them are none other than Hieracos, his brother Crios, Phoenexus, Axcelsior, and his girlfriend Sakira!" Gorf said.
"Crios and Hieracos are two more of Sphinxia and Cerberion's cousins." Toadus explained. "Wait, that means that they are our relatives?!" Andros asked in realization. "First cousins once removed, to be precise." AkaRed said. "Oh." Andros said. "So, is there anything else?" Alraunellie asked. "Like any idea where they could-" Panopticon said, only to be cut off by a loud sneeze. "Oops." Axcelsior said as everyone turned around to the hiding places which Toadus magically removed, exposing the five. "Oh! What do know! We found them!" Mambana noted. "Please have mercy on us!" The five begged on their knees, leaving everyone confused.
Meanwhile...
Futaba, along with Moroha, Manos, the 17 Animarius soldiers, and 9 Zodiarts, were with Scarab, who was not very happy about Presley escaping from him. "This close! I was this close to having immortality!" Scarab complained while Futaba and Moroha were talking to the other Shadow Angels via a magic window. "It brings us great pleasure to see you alive once again, Moroha." Johannes said. "Glad to see you too, Johannes!" Moroha replied. "Although I was quite surprised of the way things have been changing that Futaba had just finished explaining before you called." He added. "For example, are you sure we can trust this 'King Draco' person?" Moroha asked. "Futaba vouches for him, so for now, we go along with what he says." Johannes said. "And what about those Stephano and Akuji characters? They're humans, including the ones that turn into these Dopants and Zodiarts! I thought we're supposed to hate all humans!" Moroha asked. "Yeah, Stephano is a friend of Futaba, so he and his associates are considered exceptions, especially since they are willing to become literal monsters to do what needs to be done! As for Akuji and the Zodiarts, apparently, the organization they come from, known as Foundation X, are currently allied with the Animarius Empire, which automatically makes them our allies too!" Lensi said.
"Also, there's this Shocker organization that King Draco allied with before Foundation X, though the only members of that organization that are still available for us are Shibogumon, who's this cybernetic spider that was originally a Brazilian Wandering Spider-themed cyborg monster, or Kaijin as that organization calls it, which are actually humans that are either willingly or forcibly converted into genetically altered cyborgs, another named Austrukani, who's a Fiddler Crab-themed Kaijin, and one other named Amanitake, who's a Death Cap Mushroom-themed Kaijin that's currently spying on the Pecadiablos, the Animarius Empire's main competition, since their Great Leader and many other members of Shocker are back in their home dimension!" Shila explained. Moroha sighed. "Fine, but that doesn't mean I have to like it. Nice work on the Cherubim Soldier, by the way, Lensi, from what I saw, it really had those heroes on the ropes!" He said, looking up at the dormant Cherubim Soldier. "Glad you like it, Moroha! Speaking of which, in preparation for your resurrection, I have managed to recreate your personal Cherubim Soldier, Cherubim Iskuron, so you can actually participate in fighting against our enemies' Mechas!" Lensi informed, much to Moroha's delight.
"Excellent!" Moroha said. "And Cicadeath and Flygor tell us they just completed a Dark Vector for you, Futaba." Shila said. "Really?" Futaba asked. "Yes! But, because the other two formations of Dark Aquarion haven't been used yet, they suggested to wait until after the Weather and Mortem formations get used once, so they can decide which of the three formations are compatible enough for your Vector to combine with!" Shila replied. "Very well then." Futaba said.
Meanwhile, in the realm beyond the Western Gate...
The Kamen Riders, Mummies, and their allies, along with Apep and his followers, were in the Vectors while the Ohrangers were in the Blocker Robos and the Lucharangers were in the forms of the Alebrije Mechs as they, along with the Hippoleogriff that Lana befriended and allowed to follow, were racing across the desert. "Thanks again for agreeing to lead us to the Solar Barque, Apep!" Lincoln called. "No problem! Any ally of Nefertina is an ally of mine!" Apep said. "Now be careful, ever since some of the gods started acting differently, this place has been fraught with danger, in order to survive out here, you need to have eyes in the back of your heads!" He said. "Differently?" Sakura asked. "Surely Nefertina and the others have noticed, some of the Gods have completely flipped in attitude! Normally peaceful ones like Bastet are now totally agressive!" Apep said.
"Yeah, I remember Bastet acting like a complete worship-obsessed jerk that took control over Nefertina when we fought her!" Armon said. "Don't remind me." Nefertina said with disgust. "Apep, do you have any idea what could have caused this?" Ja-Kal asked. "Hm, it may have something to do with this shiny rock Set found, things started going crazy not long after." Apep said. "Set?" Juri asked in confusion. "A God of War, Chaos, and Storms." Rath explained. "I read about him in the Egyptian myths! He used to have a positive role by accompanying Ra on the Solar Barque, a flying boat, to help him repel Apophis during the boat's journey! However, in the Osiris Myth, out of a sudden desire to usurp his throne and rule with an iron fist, Set went and murdered his brother Osiris! However, Osiris's sister-wife, Isis, reassembled his corpse and resurrected her dead brother-husband with the help of Set's sister-wife Nephthys and their son Anubis, with the resurrection lasting long enough for Isis to conceive his son and heir, Horus the Younger, who was named that way since there was another Egyptian God named Horus, specifically named Horus the Elder, who was another brother of Osiris and Set! The remainder of the myth focused on Horus the Younger, who was at first a vulnerable child protected by his mother and then later became Set's rival for the throne! Eventually, their often violent conflict came to an end with Horus's triumph over Set, which restored the cosmic and social order to Egypt after Set's unrighteous reign and completed the process of Osiris's resurrection!" Lucy explained. "Wait, back up, what's this I hear about sister-wife and brother-husband?!" Carl asked in shock and confusion. "Ooh, right, apparently, incest and inbreeding are very common amongst the Egyptian Gods and Goddesses!" Lucy said, much to the shock and disgust of everyone except for the Mummies, Apep, and his followers.
"Come to think of it, weren't Kaiser Buldont and Empress Multiwa technically cousins?" Ronnie Anne asked the Ohrangers. "Yeah, they were! I guess we didn't think about that!" Goro noted. "Though, their son Buldont Jr was cute, and we're glad that Gunmazin, along with the butlers Acha & Kocha, decided to raise him to be righteous robot after the Machine Empire Baranoia was finally destroyed!" Momo said. "So at least there's that." Juri said. "And if I recall from ancient Egyptian history, Tutankhamun's parents Akhenaten and Nefertiti were actually brother and sister, which means that he's inbred! Heck, Tutankhamun's older half-brother Smenkhkare and older half-sister Meritaten were also married siblings! Unfortunately, because of his inbred biology, Tutankhamun's had a weak immune system and a lot of physical disorders, mostly bone necrosis and scoliosis, and that led him to die at 19 from not only those disorders, but also infection from malaria, sickle cell anemia, and a leg fracture that he got from a fall he went through!" Takeru said. However, that didn't make Carl or Magnifalcougar feel any better. "*GROAN!* I don't care if it's gods, robots, or even humans, I can't stand inbreeding!" Carl said in disgust. "Same here!" Magnifalcougar said in agreement. Then, they both groaned and hiccuped as the Magnifalcougar Mech literally turned green around the gills. "*HICCUP!* And now, we're gonna hurl!" Carl and Magnifalcougar declared in sickness, right before the Golden Alebrije Mech went and literally threw up while flying *BLEEEEEEEEGH!*. "EWWWWWWW!" Everyone else went in disgust.
Back in Egypt...
Makoto and Akuji were still fighting. "You're strong, I'll admit that, Specter, but let's see you stand up to this!" Akuji said, scanning the Gan Gun Reaper in Khopesh Mode over his belt and triggering his finisher.
Eye! Gan Gun Jaaku! Gan Gun Jaaku! Daikaigan! Omega Shine!
"Right back at you!" Makoto said, scanning the Gan Gun Hand in Sickle Mode and triggering his own finisher.
Eye! Gan Gun Mirou! Gan Gun Mirou! Daikaigan! Omega Fang!
At that moment, Makoto created a large projection of the Eye of Providence (the Pyramid with the one eye at the top) behind the Akuji before striking him with an energized slash from his weapon that knocked Akuji into the projection. Unfortunately, before Makoto can pull the trigger on his weapon, Akuji managed to literally burst his way out of the pyramid while glowing in a bright golden light. Then, while raising the Gan Gun Reaper in Khopesh Mode upwards, the Solar Disc detached itself from his back and then produced solar flames that engulfed the weapon's blade. After that, Akuji slowly swung his arm and solar flaming weapon in a circle ala the GoGoV's Victory Robo's Victory Prominence, albeit in a counterclockwise motion, right before unleashed a solar-powered slash straight at Makoto. Only for something to crash into the ground, causing Akuji to fall back as the dust cleared to reveal Gunmazin's dormant form, the key right next to it.
"Nani?!" Makoto asked upon noticing that. Before picking up the key and hearing the instructions on how to use it. "Alright then!" Makoto said as he then chanted "Ganma Ganma Dondoko Ganma!" before he inserted the key inside the center of the dormant Gunmazin and turned it. "Gunmazin!" The Ohranger ally declared as he woke up. "Sorry for the delay, AkaRed already filled me in on everything!" He explained. "Arigato, Gunmazin!" Makoto said. "By the way, since you've awoken me, what is your wish?" Gunmazin asked. "Help us take these guys down!" Makoto said as Gunmazin pulled out his signature sword, the Mazin Saber. "As you wish! Majin Ittōryū Ōgi, Ichido ha (Mazin One Sword Fencing, First Strike)!" Gunmazin replied as he unleashed a lightning bolt at Akuji.
Meanwhile...
AkaRed and the others were with the five defected Mythical Animarius, who were rather scared of them and still bowing down. "Do not worry, we mean you no harm, if King Draco and his assassins were here on the other hand, you'd have a very good reason to worry!" Toadus said. "Yeah, thank goodness they're being kept busy!" Fuka said. "What?! King Draco is in this dimension too?! But how?!" The Phoenix asked in confusion. "It's complicated, just know that we are against, not with, him." Phixia said assuringly. That made the five defected Mythical Animarius sigh in relief. "Thank goodness, because when I saw you guys enter the Pyramid, we were getting worried, especially since you were amongst the group, General Toadus!" Axcelsior said. "I shed that title 5,000 years ago, Axcelsior." Toadus said. "Really? But how?" Axcelsior asked in confusion. "It happened after we decided to betray the Empire and help the human that has been fighting us seal them inside a stone tablet, although obviously that tablet got broken, so now we are helping a new generation of heroes fight them." Gorf explained.
The five defected Mythical Animarius gasped at that. "We made that decision as well." Gracilus said, gesturing to himself, Bufoam, Mambana, Andros, and Phixia. "As well as my girlfriend, well now fiancee, Axolota, but she has a tracking device in her Soul Core, so..." Gorf said. "And there are some over in Japan living a peaceful life helping out at a Shinto Shrine." Bufoam added. "Specifically, Brachios, Savannara, Corroboris, and Thornoloch!" Andros said. "Wait, Brachios? Didn't he die in a landslide?" The Ram-headed Winged Lion asked in confusion. "And weren't Savannara, Corroboris, and Thornoloch back on Planet Straya the last time we saw them?" The Falcon-headed Winged Lion asked in equal confusion. "Well it turns out he survived that landslide, and they came to Earth when a Gurrugan flew here in order to find a way to free Straya from King Draco's control, but ended up defecting, deciding to go to Japan instead." Andros explained.
"Of course Savannara did so out of her love for Brachios while Corroboris defected due to him being literally stabbed in the back by my brother Terriblis, who's now the new Amphibian Army General, just to prevent him from defecting! As for Thornoloch, well, after Megalanox was destroyed, he surrendered out of cowardice, though that made Futaba, one of King Draco's new allies, kill and revert him into a Soul Core out of spite! Fortunately, we have two Alebrije allies, guardian spirits, who have powers over Life and Death that were able to revive Corroboris and Thornoloch without the use of the fruit from the Tree of Life!" Phixia explained. That made the five defected Mythical Animarius rather surprised. "Yeah, it's pretty crazy, almost as crazy as the fact that these two are actually from a race of demons who are competing with the Animarius Empire to see who can conquer the world." Mambana said, gesturing to Panopticon and Alraunellie. "Hello!" Alraunellie said. "What about the rest of you?" The female Animarius asked.
"I am AkaRed, a spirit that embodies the power of the Super Sentai heroes that wear the color red, I am also the mentor of one of said teams that fight against the demons." AkaRed explained. "I'm Rikki, aka KingRanger of the Chouriki Sentai Ohranger, one of the Super Sentai teams." Rikki said. "As for me, I'm Fuka Kazamatsuri!" Fuka said. "And this is my little sister Desco, who's a genetically engineered cyborg artificial demon created by my Dad!" She added while pointing at Desco. "As well as one of the main reason I defected from the demons!" Alraunellie said, kissing Desco on the cheek. That made Desco blush a bit. "And just so to properly introduce ourselves, I'm Mambana, originally a regular Black Mamba before General Ophiucus used a Blank Core to turn me into an Animarius Soldier!" Mambana said. "As for me and my twin sister, I'm Andros!" Andros said. "And I'm Phixia! As we hate to admit it, we're the biological children of General Leo and Sphinxia!" Phixia said. "Who needless to say, aren't too happy about our decision, especially since one of the main reasons we did so is because we fell in love with humans." Andros said.
This took the five Mythical Animarius by surprise, especially the Falcon-headed Winged Lion and the Ram-headed Winged Lion. "But we don't care! Mpatapo treats me right and Duafe is perfect for Andros here!" Phixia said. "Well, I guess we should introduce ourselves properly! I'm Hieracos, the Hieracosphinx Animarius!" The Falcon-headed Winged Lion, now identified as Hieracos, said. "I'm his non-identical twin brother Crios, the Criosphinx Animarius! We're also the maternal cousins of Sphinxia and Cerberion!" The Ram-headed Winged Lion, now identified as Crios, said. "I'm Phoenexus, the Phoenix Animarius." Phoenexus said. "I'm Axcelsior, the Axex Animarius!" Axcelsior said. "And I'm his girlfriend/fiance Sakira, the Sak Animarius!" The female, now identified as Sakira, said. "Pleased to meet you." AkaRed said. "So, these hieroglyphs said that you guys betrayed Shaos and Serpoparda?" Phixia asked.
"*Sigh!* Yes, unfortunately! See, we've had been desiring to leave the Empire for a very long time, since we're all getting sick and tired of having to be ordered to conquer and enslave civilizations in every planet we went to, so the sudden appearance that interdimensional rift was the perfect chance for us to do so without even King Draco knowing about it! Of course, we didn't count on Shaos and Serpoparda coming into the rift first, since they weren't part of our group that desired freedom from the Empire's will and they, along with Akhexus, Apshaita, and Kranokola, were far too loyal to the Empire to be trusted with our secret! So, as soon as the five of us went after Shaos and Serpoparda, we had the sixth member of our little group stay behind and secretly create a sandstorm to slow the remaining three Desert Dwellers long enough for the rift to close so that they won't follow us and get suspicious about our true intentions!" Phoenexus said. "Wait, sixth traitor?" AkaRed asked.
Back with Futaba and Scarab's group...
Elisserios, who with the rest of 17 Animarius soldiers, was mentally feeling worried. 'Please let the riders and Lucharangers' friends get there before King Draco's group!' He thought to himself, reaching for a hidden dagger. "Hey, Elisserios!" Akhexus said, making Elisserios stop what he was about to do and act normally. "Yes, Akhexus?" Elisserios asked. "Let's get going! We know where that Presley kid has already been taken to!" Akhexus said. "Oh right." Elisserios said. 'This may be my chance!' He thought to himself. He then followed everyone from behind.
Meanwhile...
Back with AkaRed's group and the five defected Mythical Animarius, Phixia was quick to figure it out. "So, Elisserios is the sixth member of your group?!" Phixia asked. "Indeed, we can only hope he's doing okay." Phoenexus said. "We'd better get out of here and report what we just learned and that you five are safe to our allies." AkaRed said. "Wait, before we do that, there's two things you need to know! First off, I have already laid a couple of eggs! Fertilized ones!" Sakira said as she went to a pile of treasure and uncovered a small nest with two eggs the size of Emu Eggs. "You're going to be a mother?! Congratulations! Who's the lucky father?!" Phixia asked in excitement. "That would be me!" Axcelsior proudly admitted. "Aw!" Phixia said. "Yeah, after we've been living here in peace for so long, Axcelsior and I finally decided that we should start a family together, even though we're not married yet, so about a few weeks ago, we've conceived these eggs that you see here!" Sakira said. "In that case, we'd better take the eggs along with you five! So, what's the other thing we need to know?" Toadus asked. "It's about the reason why we're guarding the sarcophagus and the mummy of Prince Rapses himself that's contained within it!" Phoenexus started explaining. "What do you mean? What's wrong?" Bufoam asked.
"You already read from the Hieroglyphics that Scarab had killed Prince Rapses in order to gain eternal youth and immortality by absorbing his spirit, right?" Hieracos asked. "Yes, but as I'm sure you already heard, Prince Rapses got reborn into a young boy named Presley who Scarab is currently after." Phixia said. "Then Pharaoh Amenhotep's prediction is coming true!" Crios said. "What do you mean?" Gorf asked. "You see, sometime after Scarab was imprisoned alive for killing Rapses, Amenhotep had a prediction from the Egyptian Deities Ra, Hathor, Ma'at, Khepri, Amun, Osiris, Isis, Sobek, Thoth, Horus, Knum, Wadjet, Bastet, Anubis, Bes, and Tawaret that Scarab would eventually escape from his prison many years after his own death, and that the immortality and eternal youth that he had obtained from killing Rapses in the first place would eventually start wearing off by the time he manages to do so, which would mean that he would try to find a way to renew his immortality and eternal youth before his time runs out! Plus, Amenhotep was also informed that Prince Rapses would be reincarnated in the future and his four guardians would rise up from the dead to protect him from Scarab and prevent him from getting his spirit again! However, the Egyptian Deities also warned Amenhotep that Scarab must never be allowed to find Rapses's mummy, because if he does, then Scarab would use the mummy as a conduit to transfer Rapses's soul directly into himself, which would not only renew his immortality and eternal youth, but also make it permanent instead of temporary!" Axcelsior explained. This left everyone stunned. "We'd better contact Lisa about this." Fuka said, heading out of the Pyramid and pulling out her phone.
Meanwhile...
"What?! Oh, this is troublesome! Thankfully, Presley is safely with us an-" Lisa said as an explosion occured. "Scratch that." Lisa said as a swarm of Neo Lizardons lead the strike team in. "Surprise!" Scarab said. "You're coming with us little-AGH!" Akhexus started saying, only for Elisserios to attack him in the back with his dagger. The entire strike team gasped in shock at that. "Elisserios, what has gotten into you?!" Apshaita asked in shock. "I'm just doing what Hieracos, Crios, Phoenexus, Axcelsior, Sakira, and I have agreed to do 5,000 years ago!" Elisserios said. "That sandstorm, you created it!" Apshaita realized. "*GASP!* Et tu, Elisserios?! Et tu?!" Shaos asked in shock and anger. "It's about time you realized that! The portal wasn't planned, but when we saw it, we just couldn't look the gift horse in the mouth." Elisserios said. "The only reason why I didn't come along with them was because someone needed to stay behind to keep everyone else from following my friends and finding out about the truth!" He added. "Why you double-crossing son of a *BLEEP!" Serpoparda angrily stated. Futaba then stepped forward. "Such betrayal cannot go unpunished." He said, pressing the same button as before.
Knight! Divine Punishment!
Futaba's sword then started gathering energy. "Take this chance to escape! Don't worry about me!" Elisseiros told Lisa, Presley, Amanda, Walter, and Elaine. "No need to tell us twice!" Walter said as he and others tried to escape. "I don't think so! Ammut! Ka! Get Presley!" Scarab said as Ammut charged forth while his secondary familiar Ka, who was this pair of green human-like arms with sharp fingernails attached to a short single bony rod, came out of Scarab's mouth and followed the hybrid. "Quick, run faster!" Amanda said. "Do not worry, Mrs. Carnovan, all I have to do is set my teleporter to the coordinates Fuka called us from and..." Lisa said, setting her teleporter to said coordinates and pressing the button, teleporting the four out of there. Unfortunately, Presley didn't make it as Ammut and Ka have already managed to capture him beforehand. "Dang it, not again!" Presley complained. "As for you." Futaba told Elisseiros, raising his sword. "Sacred blade strike!" Futaba called, slashing downwards.
That caused Elisserios to yell in agony before he exploded and reverted into a Soul Core engraved with the image of an Elisserion (a horse-like creature with goat hooves, a goat beard, and a long curved oryx-like horn in the center of its head), which then rolled over to Presley, who grabbed it with his hands. "No!" Presley said with a shiver of horror.
Meanwhile...
Back with AkaRed's group, Phoenexus suddenly felt a chill down his spine. "Something wrong?" Fuka asked as they loaded Axcelsior and Sakira's eggs as well as the sarcophagus holding Prince Rapses' body onto King Pyramidder. "Somehow, I feel that something bad had just happened to Elisserios!" Phoenexus said in worry. "You are most likely correct." Lisa said as she, Walter, Elaine, and Amanda arrived. "Lisa? Mrs. Carnovan? Walter? And Elaine? Wait, Where's Presley?" Fuka asked in confusion. They looked around before Lisa groaned. "They must have grabbed him before I could press the button!" She complained. "You mean my son has been kidnapped again?!" Amanda asked in horror. "Unfortunately." Lisa said, making everyone groan in complaint. "Some girl genius you are!" Walter said in a sarcastic tone. "Sadly even I'm not perfect." Lisa said. "What do we do now?" Desco asked.
"Yeah, now that Presley has been kidnapped again, it's only a matter of time before Scarab goes and steals his soul to gain immortality and eternal youth again!" Elaine said. "Well, on a lighter note, at least Scarab doesn't have the mummy of Prince Rapses here, otherwise, he would probably use it as conduit to not only transfer Presley's soul into himself, but also make his immortality and eternal youth permanent!" Fuka said. Just then, everyone heard wicked laughter as everyone turned around and saw King Draco and Shibogumon standing nearby. "What are the chances they didn't just hear that?" Fuka asked nervously. "Well, well, well! So, here I am, out to find and execute five traitors from my Royal Guard, and, yet, not only did I find you five, but now I found about an object that would make Scarab happy!" King Draco said with a wicked grin while holding his signature sword in his right hand. "Send word to Futaba." He ordered Shibogumon. "You got it!" Shibogumon said. "Hey, Futaba! Tell that Scarab guy this..." Shibogumon said over the comm link. "Oh really? Hey Scarab, my friends just found out something interesting!" Futaba said in a singsong voice.
"Really? And what would that be?" Scarab asked with intrigue. "Apparently, if you use Prince Rapses' body as a conduit between yourself and this kid, you can achieve full immortality!" Futaba explained. That made Scarab surprised to the point of grinning and chuckling maliciously. "Uh oh." Presley said. "Oh, this is too perfect an opportunity to miss!" Scarab said. "It sounds like he's eager to go through with it." Futaba reported. "Great! Thanks for letting me know!" Shibogumon replied through the comm link. "Hand over that body and the traitors or else!" King Draco ordered. "Not in your life, King Draco!" Toadus angrily declared. "You honestly think you can scare us? Compared to Bacchus Wrath, you're just a footsoldier!" Rikki fired. That really made King Draco very mad. "I don't know who this Bacchus Wrath is, but NOBODY CALLS ME A FOOTSOLDIER!" King Draco angrily yelled. "FUTABA! I need that Cherubim and a volunteer from the Strike team!" He ordered the Child Angel.
"At once, your Majesty!" Futaba replied. Before teleporting the Cherubim to King Draco's location. "Hey! King Draco needs a volunteer!" He told the strike team. "I'll go! They don't call me the One Sting Killer for nothing!" Kranokola replied. "Excellent." Futaba said, teleporting Kranokola away. Soon, both arrived at the Pyramid. "What do you need me to do, your majesty?" Kranokola asked as King Draco pulled out a walkie talkie. "Cicadeath, Flygor, fire the Enlargement Ray on Kranokola!" King Draco ordered. "You got it, King Draco!" Cicadeath said as he and Flygor fired the Enlargement Ray into the Dimension Gate. At that moment, the beam hit Kranokola, causing her to become kaiju-sized. "Now this I like!" Kranokola declared as the Cherubim fired it's guns. "Quick, everyone into King Pyramidder!" Rikki said.
However, before the door could be closed, as soon as everyone got inside, Shibogumon saw an opportunity and shot out two strong threads of webbing at the sarcophagus that stuck to it, right before Shibogumon exclaimed "Yoink!", yanked the sarcophagus right out of King Pyramidder, and then pulled it towards him with the webbing. "Futaba, teleport the sarcophagus to your location, if you please!" Shibogumon said to Futaba through the comm link. "You got it!" Futaba said as the Sarcophagus teleported away. As this was going on, AkaRed took to Buster Ohranger Robo which exited the hangar on King Pyramidder. "King Pyramidder, Battle Formation!" Rikki called. As that happened King Pyramidder shifted and converted into its massive humanoid form before opening its back hatch while Buster Ohranger Robo split back into its individual components and started entering the massive Mecha, with MoaiLoader and DoguRander entering the bottom level, GranTaurus at the second level, DashLeon at the third level, and SkyPhoenix at the top level, right before the back hatch closed down to allow Red Puncher, with its arms already facing forwards, to attach itself directly at the upper back to form twin cannons for King Pyramidder.
"Let's wrap this up quick, get the others, and get to safety before they notice our little trick!" Rikki suggested. "You think that giant robot is going to scare me?! Think again!" Kranokola said as flew towards King Pyramidder at super high speeds before striking at its center gem with her head stinger. Only for it to break in half upon contact. That caused Kranokola to shriek in pain. "MY STINGER! MY BEAUTIFUL STINGER!" Kranokola yelled in pain. "This thing was built to fight killer robots, do you really think you'd be able to do something like that?" AkaRed pointed out as the Cherubim fired it's weapons, only for the shields to cause the projectiles to bounce off. That caused the Cherubim Soldier to make a grumbling "Uh Oh!" upon realizing that it can't damage the massive Mecha no matter what. "Super Legend Beam!" Rikki and AkaRed called. That's when King Pyramidder unleashed a barrage of lightning bolts fired from various points on its body backed up by Red Puncher's cannons and culminating with an energy wave fired from its chest crystal. Needless to say, it was too much for either the Cherubim Soldier or Kranokola to handle as, upon getting hit, the latter shouted "I'VE BEEN DEFEATED THIS QUICKLY?! NO FAIR! THIS STINGS!" before both enemies exploded, with Kranokola reverting back to a Soul Core with the image of a Kranokolaptes (an ash gray-colored Egyptian cotton leafworm moth with a long sharp stinger at the bottom of its head) in flight. However, before any could act to grab the Soul Core, King Draco grabbed it in mid flight. "She may have failed today, but her loyalty to the Empire and her unique ability are far to good to be wasted like that!" King Draco said as he put Kranokola's Soul Core away safely in his person.
"Let's get out of here!" Rikki said, shifting King Pyramidder back to Pyramid formation and taking off, letting down a rope that Makoto grabbed before taking off to get the others. "Uh, Drako, we have a slight problem over here." Futaba said over the commlink. "What slight problem?" King Draco asked. "THE SARCOPHAGUS IS EMPTY!" Futaba shouted in frustration. "What?!" King Draco asked in frustration before seeing King Pyrammider speed off. "You've got to be kidding me!" He said in realization. "Awesome thinking there, AkaRed!" Phixia said as they all looked over Prince Rapses' body, tastefully decorated with a cloth.
Flashback...
"We'd better talk to Lisa about this." Fuka said, heading out the Pyramid and pulling out her phone. "And while she's doing that, Soul Korin! MagiRed!" AkaRed said, taking on the ranger form of the youngest Ozu sibling before casting a spell on the sarcophagus. "That should transport Prince Rapses' body onto King Pyrammider." AkaRed explained. "But why take the Prince's mummy out of the sarcophagus?" Axcelsior asked in confusion. "One thing you should learn when associating yourself with a Super Sentai team or Kamen Rider, think two steps ahead of your enemy. Our friends aren't likely to keep King Draco's group busy for long, and chances are they will find us, so I'm proposing we let them take the sarcophagus, thinking it contains the body, but when they open it, the only thing they'll find is hot air." AkaRed explained. "Oh, I get it!" Fuka said. "But wait, what if they try to chase us?" Desco asked. "That's the second step ahead!" AkaRed said as the flashback ended. "Soul Korin! ShishiRed!" AkaRed said, taking on the form of the Lion themed Kyuranger before removing the Seiza Blaster. "I'm going to need you to wire this into King Pyramidder's controls." He told Lisa.
"Okay, but for what use?" Lisa asked in confusion. "Let's just say things will become clear soon." AkaRed said as King Pyrammider flew over where the battle was still taking place before dropping some ropes down. "Looks like our ride is here!" Nagi said as they grabbed a rope which King Pyrammider pulled back in. "Don't let them get away! They have something important onboard!" King Draco said as he and Shibogumon rushed over. "No need to tell us twice!" Stephano said as he and Akuji followed behind. Before summoning the Dark Vectors and starting to chase King Pyrammider. "They're following us in the Dark Vectors!" Fuka said. "Lisa, how's it coming?" AkaRed asked. "If my calculations are correct..." Lisa said, connecting two wires. "That should do it!" She said. "Perfect!" AkaRed said, pulling out a Kyutama and placing it in the Seiza Blaster.
Kogitsune (Vulpecula) Kyutama! Seiza Attack!
After that, Lisa pulled the trigger on the Seiza Blaster. This caused the Seiza Blaster to fire out a manifestation of the constellation Vulpecula, complete with the image of a small fox with a goose in its mouth, which in turn caused King Pyrammider to become invisible. "Darn it! Now we can't see it nor we can pursue it any further!" Shibogumon complained as the Dark Vectors stopped in midair. "Don't worry, everyone! Just before that flying pyramid turned invisible, I had my Vector shoot out a tiny, yet, effective silent tracking device onto it, just in case! That way, we'll know where they're going and then ambush them!" Stephano said. "Uh, Stephano?" King Draco asked via the comm link, holding up a snowflake-shaped device. "I saw this bounce off that!" He said. "It bounced off?!" Stephano asked in frustration. "No matter! I fired off a tracker of my own!" Shibogumon said. "As did I!" Akuji said. "You mean these?" King Draco asked, holding up a device shaped like a spider and a device shaped like the letter 'X' with the face of Akuji's driver in the center.
"D'OH!" Shibogumon exclaimed in frustration. "That flying pyramid must have armor so thick and smooth that nothing can grip onto it!" Akuji said in complaint. "Futaba, bring that Scarab guy, that Presley kid, and the Strike Team here now!" King Draco ordered. "At once!" Futaba said. "Dang, how did you do that? They've broken off!" Alraunellie said. "The Kogitsune Kyutama, powered by the constellation Vulpecula, has the ability to turn anyone and anything invisible for 10 minutes, really came in handy for the Kyurangers when they were trying to storm Jark Matter's stronghold on the Planet Southern Cross." AkaRed explained. He then showed footage of said event. "Wow, functional and a cute design." Nagi said. "Speaking of cute, do you guys have any idea when these eggs will hatch?" Desco asked Axcelsior and Sakira. "Well, since they're about the size of Emu Eggs, it'll probably take at least eight weeks, or earlier depending on the conditions!" Sakira said.
Toadus waved his staff over them. "Well I'm sure you'll be happy to know they look healthy so far." He said. "Plus, it seems one of them is an Axex Animarius while the other one is a Sak Animarius!" He added. "That's good to know! By the way, since me and the other Sak Animarius are all female, we often have to mate with male Animarius from other species in order to reproduce, with any females we conceive being born as Saks while any males that are conceived will be born as whatever species their fathers are!" Sakira said. "So, you're saying that the Sak Animarius in one of the eggs is female and the Axex Animarius in the other egg is male?" Phixia asked. "Exactly!" Sakira replied. "Aw!" The girls said. "So what do we do now?" Rikki asked. "We need to figure out a way to save the Kamen Riders, Lucharangers, Alchemeister, and the Ohrangers from the realm beyond the Western Gate." AkaRed said. "Why don't you try the Eastern Gate?" Phoenexus suggested.
"Eastern Gate?" Everyone asked in confusion. "It's like the Western Gate, but where's that one is only accessible once the sun sets, this one is only accessible once it rises." Hieracos explained. "And where exactly is this Eastern Gate located?" Nagi asked. "Here in Egypt." Sakira answered. That took everyone by surprise. "But it's only visible to those of Egyptian descent." Crios explained. That made everyone groan in complaint, realizing that none of them are of Egyptian descent.
Meanwhile...
The Kamen Riders, Lucharangers, Ohrangers, Mummies, and their allies are still in their Mechs, trekking across the vast desert. "We're almost there, it's just over this ridge." Apep said. At that moment, the Mechs were suddenly attacked by energy blasts. "Now what?!" Yui asked. Then, everyone heard howling. "Oh No! I know that howling!" Ja-Kal said. "Set!" Apep realized. At that moment, four male humanoid canines, who were all wearing Ancient Egyptian clothing, appeared from behind a dune. The first one being a light brown humanoid dog, possibly a pitbull, with two prominent bottom canine teeth sticking out from his mouth and carrying a staff with a purple gem at the top (Set). The second one was a black humanoid Jackal with golden inner ears and carrying a staff with a green gem at the top (Anubis). "The third one was a grey humanoid Bulldog with a muscular bodyframe (Khenti-Amentiu). Finally, the fourth one was a brown humanoid Wolf with a hunched stance and slightly spiky fur (Upuaut a.k.a. Wepwawet). "Uh oh." Lincoln said.
"Does anyone know which one of those canines is Set?" Aurachnid asked in confusion. "Well the Jackal is obviously Anubis." Lucy noted. "The Bulldog, I don't recognize, since Bulldogs were never bred in Ancient Egypt, nor have they ever existed yet! The Wolf, on the other hand, even though he's brown instead of silvery gray, must be Upuaut, better known Wepwawet, who's a war deity that was also seen as a scout, going out to clear routes for the Egyptian army to proceed forward, and he's also Anubis's brother, though some myths depicted him as being Anubis's son instead, so it's a bit hard to tell which depiction is true or not!" She added. "What about that dog who almost looks like a pitbull with the bottom fangs sticking out of his mouth and carrying a staff with a purple gem at the top?" Clyde asked. "That, would be Set!" Rath said.
"What?! That can't be right! Set isn't supposed to look like a pitbull, especially since that dog breed didn't exist in Ancient Egypt either! He's supposed to look like a man with the head of a Sha, or at least a humanoid version of one!" Lucy said in shock. "Well, for some unknown reason, Set looks like a dog instead of a Sha like he used to be in the Ancient past!" Rath said. "You don't think he deliberately changed his looks, just so that he would keep up with modern times, knowing that hardly anyone would recognize what a Sha is, right?" Rocky asked. The mummies just shrugged. "What do you want, Set? We're busy here!" Apep said. "*Snarl!* Isn't it obvious? When my African Wild Dog scout informed me of the guardians of Rapses being here in this, I knew that this would be the perfect opportunity for revenge!" The pitbull-like humanoid, now identified as Set, replied.
"So, I've brought the Trackers of Souls back together with me, so that I would destroy you Mummies and anyone else who gets in my way!" He added. "Oh yeah? You and what army? Seriously, there's four of you canines and a whole lot more of us! You're basically outnumbered here!" Aurachnid said. "Uh, is it just me, or is that a talking spider I'm seeing?" The black Jackal , identified as Anubis, asked in confusion. "You know, I've actually been wondering about that myself." Rath admitted. "Oh, right, I forgot to tell you about my origins! You see, about 5,000 years ago, I was originally an ordinary Bum-Eyed Spider, until the African Spider God, Kwaku Anansi, had chosen me to help Clyde's ancestor Akoma defend his village from six rogue Animarius soldiers by turning me into the golden spider you see here today and giving me the power to allow Akoma and anyone descended from him to transform into the legendary Spider Warrior through my mystical venom!" Aurachnid said.
"Well either way, we still outnumber you!" Lincoln said. "That doesn't matter!" Set said, firing a bolt of lightning (He Is A Storm God, After All) at the heroes, only for Ronnie Anne to use her own electrokinesis to safely redirect the lightning. "What?! But how?!" Set asked in shock. "I can manipulate lightning, wind, and water!" Ronnie Anne explained. "*Growl!* That's supposed to my power!" Set angrily complained. "Oh, sounds like someone doesn't like his thunder being stolen!" Lana joked. That caused the heroes to laugh hysterically. Even Anubis found that amusing. "*Chuckle!* Now, you've got to admit it, that's funny!" Anubis said while laughing, causing Set to get angry. "Shut up!" Set angrily said as he konk Anubis on the head with his staff. "Ow! What was that for?!" Anubis asked while rubbing his head in mild pain. "Quick, while they're arguing, let's try to sneak around them!" Lincoln whispered.
Unfortunately, a laser blast fired right at the heroes, making them stop what they're doing. "Us dogs have really good hearing, don't you know?" Set said with his staff pointing forwards. "They're still right, you know, you're still outnumbered, plus, we have giant robots and jets, what about you?" Aden pointed out. "Yeah, about that, along the way, we've invited more individuals who all revenge on the Mummies, and they're coming here in 3... 2... 1!" Set said as more individuals came over. The first one was a female humanoid with red skin, a pair of wings on her back, and a vulture's head while wearing Ancient Egyptian women's clothing and a tall headdress on her head (Sekhmet). The second one was a female humanoid white house cat wearing a black Egyptian dress, a necklace with a red gemstone in the center, and a small head covering with a similar red stone on her forehead (Bastet). The third one was a short mischievous green male humanoid creature with four-fingered hands and two-toed feet who's wearing a blue Egyptian crown with a matching pair of sandals and male Ancient Egyptian clothing (Bes). The fourth one is a large male humanoid made entirely out of water (Nuhn). Finally, the fifth one was a male mummy with red-and-black Egyptian clothing and having his head wrapped in bandages that only covered where his right eye used to be (Arakh, Ja-Kal's evil brother).
"Oh great, even he's here!" Nefertina complained, pointing to Arakh. "Friend of yours?" Aurachnid asked hopefully. "My brother, Arakh, who helped Scarab on that night." Ja-Kal admitted. This made everyone wince. "Why would he do that?" Aden asked. "To be put it simply, out of pure jealousy and contempt! You see, Arakh and I used to compete with each when we were children, often for our father's attention, and in school! Eventually, when we were adults, Arakh and I competed over who would be the pharaoh's new royal huntsman! Amenhotep initially chose Arakh to be his spear carrier, something he found as a great honor! However, during an ambush by a lion, Arakh was badly injured and lost his right eye in the process! Of course, while I was able capture the lion with a net from my arrow and saved Arakh's life, that, unfortunately, angered my older brother enough to lash out at me, telling me that for the first time he saw things clearly, and I always wanted him to fail, which is actually not what I really wanted! Afterwards, Arakh then left in a rage while Amenhotep made me the new captain of the royal hunt!" Ja-Kal explained.
"Good thing Envidia isn't here, there's no way she wouldn't pass up the chance to take advantage of such envy!" Sid said.
Back at the Kendall Apartment...
"ACHOO!" Envidia sneezed loudly in her room. "You okay?" Lujuria asked. "Yeah, I-" Envidia said before Shockwing cut her off. "I'VE GOT AN IDEA!" He said. "Huh? What do you mean by that?" Envidia asked in confusion. "The Lucharangers are what's known as a 'Super Sentai' team, right? Well, why don't I use my magic to revive someone who knows a thing or two about fighting such a type of enemy!?" Shockwing suggested. "One small problem with that idea, all of those other Super Sentai teams are from a different universe than this one!" Pereza pointed out. "Yes, but with this, I can travel anywhere!" Shockwing reminded, pulling out his Dimension Hopper. "Oh, I get it, you can use that thing to travel to that Super Sentai world and then use your magic to resurrect whatever villain from that world's afterlife!" Cocidia realized. "Exactly!" Shockwing said, using the Dimension Hopper to open a portal that lead to the Super Sentai world that he then hopped through, finding himself in front of a bookstore with a large book called 'Super Sentai Encyclopedia by Ikari Gai' in the window. "Perfect!" Shockwing said, smashing the window and taking the book before going back to the Kendall Apartment. "First things first, a little education." He said, opening the book and starting to read.
Meanwhile...
"At least Arakh's Scorpion Charm was destroyed." Armon said. "Funny you should mention that! After my traitorous son Kimas destroyed it and sent us both back into this realm, it took a very long time for me to gather up all the pieces! Fortunately, Set here informed me of your arrival here and offered to fix the Scorpion Charm for me in exchange for helping him get revenge on you four, which I'm more then happy to oblige!" Arakh said as Set tossed the Scorpion Charm, which looked like a golden amulet with a image of a scorpion engraved onto it, right over to him. Arakh then put it on and after striking a pose, donned an armor that had a Scorpion motif. Specifically, he now wore a big hat on his head, that wraps around his skull while, over his lost eye, Arakh had a golden artifact, in the shape of a scorpion, with a red jewel in the middle, similar to his belt buckle, plus, he had a red false beard. On his chest, his Usekh collar now has more detail, and two scorpion-like tail appendages wrap around it, and onto his back. Plus, Arakh's right arm is now covered in thick dark grey exoskeleton, with his upper arm having red, vein-like markings and his hand now ending on a giant appendage in the shape of a scorpion's stinger! Also, his left arm had a golden arm band on the top, and it ends on a large, red appendage that resembles a scorpion's claw. Finally, he wears two dark grey and red boots, that end on two toes. Needless to say, when Aurachnid saw the obvious scorpion motif of Arakh's armor, he totally freaked out. "AHHHHHHHH! SCORPION!" Aurachnid screamed in terror before he scurried behind Clyde's back.
"The temple he called home before everything with my ancestor was once invaded by scorpions and it left him terrified of them ever since." Clyde explained to everyone who didn't already know about that little detail. "I was this close to getting stung to death by one of them while the most of my fellow spiders got killed and devoured by the others! The Horror, Man! The Horror!" Aurachnid said in anguish. "Oddly enough, scorpions are big part of Ancient Egyptian culture as much as Scarab Beetles are! Heck, there's actually at least three different Scorpion Goddesses, namely Ta-Bitjet, the consort of Horus the Elder, Hedjedet, who was said to protect the Egyptian Gods from Apophis, and Serqet, who's often depicted as a woman with a scorpion decorated on top of her crown or sometimes as a scorpion with the head of a woman and is known for healing venomous stings and bites, not to mention that she was a consort to Horus the Younger and also said to protect the deities from Apophis, much like Hedjedet! Of course, Serqet has her own dark side, since she would sometimes send out snakes and scorpions to mete out punishment to those of whom she disapproved!" Lucy said.
"I don't think you're helping his state of mind, Lucy." Clyde said, noticing Aurachnid's shaking got worse as she mentioned that last little tidbit. "Sorry, my bad!" Lucy apologized. "I'm just glad none of these guys have an Osusumebachi motif." Sakura said. "A what now?" Apep asked in confusion. "Better known as the Asian Giant Hornet! Sakura here almost died after she accidentally disturbed a nest and got stung relentlessly by a whole swarm of them! Had her older brother Kenta not brought her to the hospital on time, she wouldn't even be alive today!" Shintomaru explained. Sakura whimpered at that. "Needless to say, she doesn't like it when that's brought up." Lincoln said. "Are we going to fight now or what?!" The vulture woman, known as Sekhmet, asked impatiently. Lincoln sighed. "Guess we have no choice." He said. "Good, because I'm going to enjoy getting my revenge, especially on you, brother!" Arakh said while pointing at Ja-Kal. "We'll just see about that, Arakh!" Ja-Kal said. "With the strength of Ra!" The mummies called, donning their armors.
However, once that happened Nefertina started clutching her head in agony. "Not again!" She said in agony while Bastet smirked and chuckled evilly. "Fool! I'm the one who created the amulet and armor you're wearing! Therefore, by activating it, you'll become my obedient servant just last time!" Bastet said with a wicked grin. "You monster! You're supposed to be a benevolent Goddess! You're supposed to protect homes from evil spirits! How can you act like this?!" Lucy asked angrily as Aya looked at Bastet's aura out of curiosity. "She has been corrupted by an outside force!" Aya said in realization. That made the heroes look at Aya in shock and confusion. "It's all over her aura, something is causing her to act this way, in fact..." Aya said, looking at the auras of the other Gods on Set's side before gasping in shock. "Every one of those Gods and Goddesses have been afflicted in the same way!" She realized. "Every one, that is, except for Set!" Aya added as she looked at Set's aura and pointed at him.
"Well aren't you special?" Set asked with a smirk. "What did you do, Set?" Apep asked. "Oh, nothing! Just found this lovely-looking crystal that somehow ended up in this realm a long time ago and then used it with some of my chaos powers to make some of the deities here become more evil like me, sometimes to the point of altering their personalities and appearances!" Set said as he pulled out from his person a familiar-looking rainbow-colored energy crystal, much to the shock of the heroes, except for the Mummies, who were simply confused at what it is. "*GASP!* That's an Eternalite energy crystal!" Macros realized. "Eternalite? I thought that energy crystal was called Eternium!" Lincoln said in confusion. "I'm guessing we must have been calling that crystal by the wrong name! Now that I remember from our geology lessons, any material with 'ium' at the end of its name has to be either a metal or mineral, but not a crystal!" Clyde said. "Yeah, you're right! And now that I'm finally remembering, the name 'Eternium' was already taken by a fictional Element found in the DC Comics multiverse, usually connected to the comic book characters Shazam and Black Adam!" Lincoln realized. "But, how do you know what that crystal really is, Makros-kun?" Sakura asked in confusion.
"One of the first things Bunyipus did on Straya is discover a mine full of the stuff." Makros explained. "And because found out quickly that those crystals are useful enough to power not just machines, but also weapons for eternity, hence the name, and even make Animarius and Lizardons stronger, he and his associates had my people forced into slavery, with the strongest of our males being sent to the mines to collect the energy crystals, which, unlike normal crystals, can easily grow back whatever pieces that get broken off of them in a quick manner, while the our females are constantly demanded to give birth to more slaves every day, and if they are unable to bear children, Bunyippus ruthlessly orders their execution!" Makros explained, making the Mummies and Ohrangers, as well as Apep and his followers, to gasp in shock. "You can understand my desire to find a way to free my people from this madness." Makros said.
"*Shudder!* Even the Pharaoh doesn't treat his servants and slaves like that!" Ja-Kal said in disgust. "Lucky you." Makros said. Of course, while the heroes were momentarily distracted, Nuhn came and splashed them all with a torrent of water. "Less Talk, More Action!" Nuhn said while taking on the appearance of a professional boxer. Only for Azalee to use her powers over Alchemy to freeze him solid before Aden slashed him with the Ouroblade! That caused Nuhn to be shattered into frozen pieces. Of course, afterwards, Bastet unleashed a few fireballs at the frozen pieces and caused them to melt into water, which allowed Nuhn to regenerate himself back to normal. "Now that's just rude!" Nuhn said in complaint. "Too bad!" The Alquemie twins said. "Oh yeah? Well, let's see how you handle a bigger flood!" Nuhn said as unleashed a huge tidal wave of water at the heroes, causing them all to get really soaked. Unfortunately, Lola ended up getting caught in the deluge and she was boiling mad, both literally and figuratively. "You've got me soaking wet! HOW DARE YOU?!" Lola yelled angrily. "Oh yeah, what are you going to do about it, princess?" Nuhn asked with a laugh as everyone that knew about Lola's short fuse backed up nervously.
That caused Lola to let out a primal yell with her face all red with rage, her teeth becoming pointed sharp, and her hair turning into flames as she charged towards Nuhn and then literally dove into his watery body. "Hah! Is that the best you've got?" Nuhn asked before he suddenly felt like he was boiling, literally. "Huh? Is it just me or is it getting really hot all of a sudden?" Nuhn asked in discomfort, right before he looked down and saw that Lola, still in his body, was thrashing around and using her rage-induced body heat to literally boil Nuhn from the inside out, much to Nuhn's horror. "No, No, No, No, No! This is like Death Valley all over again!" Nuhn said in fright. "Just be glad you don't have a physical body." Armon said with a shudder. "What did he mean by Death Valley?" Aurachnid asked in confusion. "It's a desert valley in California, given that name by a group of pioneers who got lost there in 1849-50, where the temperature can reach over 100 degrees in the summer." Lucy said. "We once tricked Nuhn into going there." Ja-Kal explained.
"That was back when Scarab summoned him a second time, this time to have him dry up the city's water supply, just so that Scarab would sell water at $100 a bottle and bring in vast amounts of money to himself!" Rath explained. "Now that's just plain greedy!" Sakura said in disgust. "Tell us about it." Armon said. "But anyway, once we lured Nuhn to Death Valley, all it took was for the extreme heat to catch up to him and he practically boiled and evaporated to nothing! Though, since he's here in this realm now, it must mean that his defeat wasn't permanent!" Nefertina said. "No duh! Everyone knows that when water evaporates, it becomes water vapor, which is its gas form!" Mephoatzeal said. "And right now, Lola-chan is demonstrating that." Sakura said as Lola continued to wreak havoc on Nuhn who was screaming in agony. "How can such a little girl cause so much trouble?!" Momo asked as she and Juri shook in fear.
"That's the thing about my little sister Lola, she's a pageant princess with a short temper, who's freakishly strong for a seven-year-old girl! As for how or why she's that strong, or even how she's able to produce enough body heat to boil water, apparently, we don't know!" Lincoln said. "Our older sister Lynn is just as bad when it comes to strength." Lucy said. "How many sisters do you have, exactly?" Apep asked. "Including these three and Lynn, 10." Lincoln explained. "10 Sisters?!" Apep asked in shock. "And no brothers." Clyde said as Lola burst out of Nuhn. "Let that be a lesson!" She said angrily. "Oh, the pain! Oh, agony!" Nuhn said in agony as was basically reduced to the size of a rabbit. Before quietly hiding away behind a nearby stone structure, scared for his life of the pint sized princess. "WHO ELSE WANTS SOME?!" Lola asked eagerly. "How about me?!" Sekhmet said as she charged towards Lola and punched her in the face.
"Ooh, that's going to leave a mark!" Lincoln said in fear as Lola pulled out a mirror and saw that Sekhmet gave her a black eye. "Oh, you did not just sully my beautiful face!" Lola said angrily, jumping on top of the goddess of the hot desert sun, plague, chaos, war, and ironically healing before repeatedly slamming her into the ground. That made everyone wince. "And to think that it was difficult to defeat Sekhmet the last time we fought her!" Rath said. "Lola, will you please not beat her up so much? She's not fully herself after all, especially since her other self Hathor is being trapped within, and I need to get close to her in order to use my spirit powers to free her from Set's influence!" Aya requested. "Yeah, yeah, whatever!" Lola said, tossing Sekhmet away. "Kid, your sister is crazy!" Goro told Lincoln. "They all are. No offense." Lincoln said to Lana and Lucy. "None taken!" Lana said in a chill mood. "We get that a lot!" Lucy noted. "And there are definitely moments that proved you to be saner than all 10 of us combined." Lucy said. "I honestly don't know how you've managed to deal with it all this time." Lana said.
"Believe me, it takes a lot of getting used to!" Lincoln said with an obvious twitch in his right eye. Aya then rushed over to Sekhmet. "Here goes nothing, Spirit purify!" Aya called, releasing a bright amber light. That caused Sekhmet to magically change into a wingless woman with normal tan skin, Lion-like claws at her fingertips, and a Lioness's head. At the same, a female Lappet-faced vulture with red-and-blue feathers wearing an Atef crown and holding both shen rings and plumed scepters in her talons, sprang out of Sekhmet's back. "Freedom!" The vulture shouted in joy with her wings spread out. At the same time, the Lioness-headed goddess that was Sekhmet suddenly changed in a flash of light into what appears to be a fully human woman with lighter tan skin and wearing a headdress of cow horns with a sun disk set in between the horns. "Oh, my aching head!" The woman said upon getting up. "*Gasp!* I recognize her! That's Hathor, the female counterpart of Ra, and Goddess of the sky, sun, music, dance, joy, sexuality, beauty, love, motherhood, queenship, fate, trade, foreign lands and goods, and the Afterlife!" Apep realized. "I am so confused." Lincoln said upon seeing that. "According to Egyptian Mythology, Hathor is like Jekyll and Hyde, whenever she gets angry, she transforms into Sekhmet. As for the vulture, that's obviously Nekhbet, an Egyptian Vulture Goddess that acts as a protector of Upper Egypt and it's rulers." Lucy said.
"But, what was Nekhbet doing inside of Hathor/Sekhmet's body?" Rath asked in confusion. "Allow me to explain." Set said. "When Nekhbet caught wind of me using this energy crystal with my chaos powers to alter the Gods and Goddesses' personalities and appearances for my own purposes, she threatened to alert my schemes to my sworn enemy Horus the Younger! Obviously, I couldn't allow that, so I used my chaos powers and this crystal to merge her with Sekhmet in order to keep her silent!" He explained. "You are one sick twisted evil deity!" Lucy said with disgust. "Thank you!" Set said. "That wasn't a compliment!" Lucy retorted. "Villain trope, Lucy." Lincoln said. "Either way, get them!" Set called as his team and the others charged. During the big brawl, Ja-Kal fought against Arakh. "You don't have my traitorous son to save you this time brother!" Arakh said, raising the scorpion tail-themed left arm gauntlet that comes with his armor up before slashing it down at Ja-Kal.
But Ja-Kal narrowly dodged. "At least he knew right from wrong in the end, Arakh!" Ja-Kal said as he summoned his bow and fired a few arrows at Arakh. "I saw them, you know, Tia and Padjet." Arakh said, dodging Ja-Kal's arrows. "Tia was crushed when she learned of your death, and I enjoyed every second of it!" He taunted. That made Ja-Kal gasp in shock. "Oh yes, she was devastated, so much so, she never remarried, but it should make you happy to hear that Pajet later grew up to be one of the Pharoah's greatest guards." Arakh said, deciding to give Ja-Kal a little bit of comfort before ending him. "And he was quite the prodigy too, in intelligence, strength, and fighting skills, having earned the right to become a guard at age 11 after saving the Pharaoh from a foreign assassin that tried to kill him!" He added. This brought a smile to Ja-Kal's face as tears of pride started falling, something Arakh was hoping for as he tried to strike again, only for the unexpected arrival of a young boy in similar Scorpion armor, albeit with two scorpion claw-shaped gauntlets instead of one and having a helmet that fully reveals his face while having small scorpion tail extending from the back of said helmet, to stop him!
"What the?!" Arakh asked in shock. "Kimas? Is that you?" Ja-Kal asked in surprise. "It is me, Uncle Ja-Kal!" The boy, identified as Kimas, who's Arakh's son and Ja-Kal's nephew, replied. "It is wonderful to see you again. You not so much." He told his uncle and father respectively. "Kimas, you traitor! What are you doing here?!" Arakh asked angrily. "I overheard your and Set's plans, so Serket, who has been acting as my mentor, gave me this armor to help Uncle and the others stop you!" Kimas explained. "Serqet? The Scorpion Goddess of protection and healing? That Serqet?" Ja-Kal asked. "That's her." Kimas confirmed. "No sooner did I arrive in this realm and got separated from my no-good father, Serqet, who was pleased to hear that I had sacrificed myself to protect you and the others while bearing the motif of the scorpion, chose me to be her student and follower, so that I might one day rejoin you as the official fifth guardian of Rapses!" He added. Ja-Kal smiled at his nephew's words while Arakh growled in anger at his own son's continuing defiance towards him.
"This is absolutely unacceptable!" Arakh angrily declared. He then charged towards Kimas in fury. However, Kimas was able to counter by grabbing Arakh and throwing him over his shoulder, much to Ja-Kal's surprise. "I see Serqet has trained you well." Ja-Kal said. "She may be a healing goddess, but she knows how to throw the punches, trust me." Kimas said. Meanwhile, Aya, Sakura, Nefertina, and Khati were fighting against Bastet, though it was clear that Nefertina was struggling to fight against Bastet's control. "If I had a clear shot, I could do what I did with Hathor and Nekhbet!" Aya said. "Better do it quick! *Groan!* I don't know how much longer I can keep fighting it before I turn into a cat creature!" Nerfertina said while clutching her head in agony. "And since Hyenas are related to cats, I don't know if it'd be wise to risk going LuchaHyena!" Aya noted. "Say, how come Khati-chan isn't affected in any way?" Sakura asked as she noticed that, despite being a cat, Khati wasn't effected by Bastet's presence nor being controlled by her. "You know, that's a good question, now that I think about it, she wasn't last time either." Nefertina said through groans.
"WHAT?! A cat that even I can't control?! That can't be!" Bastet complained. Aya checked Khati's aura. "Oh! Of course! The way that Khati was mummified, plus the magic that allows her to take on her larger battle form, is preventing from being controlled by Bastet despite being a cat!" Aya realized. Sakura then got an idea. "Bastet likely needs a lot of focus to control cats, so...Mecha Pollon-chan!" Sakura said as the robot winged hound barked from within Vector LL before flying out onto the field. "Oh, please, do you think that I'd be scared of a dog, especially a winged one made out of metal?" Bastet asked while unamused. "Sic her, boy! Don't give her a chance to concentrate!" Sakura said as Mecha Pollon and a transformed Khati jumped on Bastet. "HEY! GET OFF OF ME, YOU STUPID PETS!" Bastet angrily complained as Mecha-Pollon and Khati pummeled her. "Now, Aya-chan!" Sakura said. "Spirit purify!" Aya called.
Like with before, Aya released a bright amber light at Bastet. That caused Bastet to yowl as clutched her head while her white fur turned all sable black. Nefertina also stopped feeling like she was losing control. "*Sigh!* Whatever you've just did, thanks, cause now I'm feeling better!" Nefertina said in relief. "And it looks like Bastet is back to normal as well." Aya said. "Oh, my aching head!" Bastet complained in mild pain. "Lady Bastet, are you okay? Do you remember anything?" Nefertina asked in concern. "*Groan!* I'm starting to remember some things!" Bastet said. She then growled. "That jerk Set, he brainwashed me!" Bastet realized. "Not just you, I'm afraid!" Nerfertina said. "Where is he?! I ought to sic the biggest cat I can find on that mutt's face!" Bastet said angrily.
"He's right over there!" Nefertina said as she pointed at Set, who was fighting against Lincoln, Ronnie Anne, and Goro. "What's with the people he's fighting?" Bastet asked. "It's a long story." Nefertina said. "Short version is, well, we're from a completely different universe than this one!" Sakura said. "But don't worry, we're also against Set." Aya assured. "As well as Scarab!" She added. Bastet groaned. "Don't get me started on Scarab!" She complained. "That guy was a monster, deliberately killing a child just to take his spirit to make himself immortal!" She added. "Well unfortunately, he's still around, and has allied with our very dangerous enemies, and if we don't get out of this place soon, he'll do it again!" Sakura said. "What?! He's been freed already?!" Bastet asked in shock. "Apparently, he was freed 70 some odd years ago." Nefertina said. "Specifically, he was unintentionally freed by an archeologist named Harris Stone, and then Scarab killed him and stole his identity, possibly to adapt himself to modern times!" Aya said.
Sakura shuddered. "At least he didn't kill two innocent children before they could be born!" She said, starting to cry beneath her helmet. "What's she crying about?" Bastet asked. "One of our very dangerous enemies, in fact one of our most dangerous enemies, is a Cerberus monster who killed her parents, older brother, and as we recently found out, her unborn baby brother and sister." Aya explained. "Even worse, when I confronted him about that, it turned out that he didn't truly care about it!" Sakura said before crying loudly. Naturally, Bastet, an Egyptian Goddess of Cats, the Home, domesticity, women's secrets, fertility, and childbirth, was starting to get angry at this information. "Why that no-good, despicable, murderous canine! I ought to scratch him until he bleeds to death! And when my fellow Goddess Tawaret hears about this, she will most definitely not let that transgression slide!" Bastet angrily declared. "Tawaret?" Aya asked in confusion. "Another of Egypt's childbirth Goddesses." Nefertina explained.
"She's depicted as being a female bipedal hippopotamus with limbs resembling those of a lioness, breasts like a woman, and the back and tail of a crocodile! There are other Hippopotamus Goddesses of childbirth and fertility, specifically Ipet, Reret, and Hedjet, but Tawaret is the most famous one among the others!" She added. "And she already doesn't like the idea of stillbirth, so I can't imagine hearing two children were killed before they could be born along with their mother would sit well with her." Bastet said. "Considering the fact the Hippos are known as being the most aggressive and dangerous herbivorous mammals on the planet, usually when it's the males being extremely territorial or the females being overly protective of their calves, I can imagine that seeing Tawaret angry wouldn't be a pretty sight!" Aya said with a shudder. "No it is not." Bastet said. "Well, anyway, I'd better go and help the others free the Gods from Set's control!" Aya said, rushing over.
Meanwhile...
Clyde, Rath, Sid, Shouhei, and Yuji were fighting against Bes. Clyde had the Calabasher out while Shouhei and Yuji had their signature Square Crushers and Delta Tonfas. "This guy is going to be easy! I mean, how dangerous can that green-skinned dwarf be?" Aurachnid said. "Bes is a god of music, merriment, and like Bastet and Tawaret, Childbirth." Rath explained. "But, apparently, Set's corruption made him become a malevolent trickster who makes decisions based on the flip of a coin he carries around!" He added. "Speaking of!" Bes said, pulling out said coin and tossing it in the air. "Heads, I surrender, Tails, I get to do what I want!" He said before the coin landed on the Tails position. "Tails!" He said in delight. "What's he going to do?" Aurachnid asked. "Nothing good, that's for sure!" Rath said as Bes snapped his fingers. That caused everyone's bodies to glow in a bright light.
"Ha! All that talk for noth-why am I suddenly holding this?" Sid asked before noticing she was now holding the Delta Tonfas! "And what happened to my chest?!" She asked, before realizing she was in Yuji's body. "Nani? Why am I feeling shorter? Where are my Delta Tonfas? And Why Do I Have Big Breasts?!" Yuji asked, before realized that he's in Sid's body, unintentionally touching her chest in the process. "TOUCH THOSE ONE MORE TIME AND YOU WILL BE SORRY! ONLY ONE PERSON IS ALLOWED TO TOUCH ME THERE AND SHE'S OCCUPIED!" Sid said angrily. "It's Bes' magic, he once used it to swap our bodies." Rath explained from Shouhei's body. "That explains a lot of things!" Shouhei said while in Rath's body. "This feels so weird." Clyde said in Aurachnid's body. "Agreed." Aurachnid said in Clyde's body as Bes started laughing. "Feeling disoriented already?" Bes asked while laughing.
"Fortunately, reversing the spell is simple. Destroy the coin." Rath said, pulling out Shouhei's King Blaster. "By the way, how exactly does this weapon work?" He asked while inspecting the weapon. "You aim this end at the target and pull the trigger." Shouhei explained. "And for added fire power, you can combine it with the Battle Stick." He added, pointing to the Ohrangers' other sidearm. "Oh, I see!" Rath said. Before doing so. And firing at the coin. That caused the coin to explode into smithereens, much to Bes's annoyance. "Not again! Do you have any idea how long it took for me to fix my coin the last time it was broken?" Bes asked in annoyance. "Spirit purify!" Aya called, bathing Bes in Amber light as his spell was undone. "Oh, thank goodness I'm back in my beautiful body!" Sid said in delight. She then angrily kicked Yuji in the crotch, causing the Blue Ohranger to get down onto his knees and cover his crotch in pain. "That's For Touching My Breasts!" Sid angrily shouted. "Gomen... nasai!" Yuji said in pain. "Sid, you do realize that what he had done was completely unintentional, right?" Clyde, now back in his own body, asked. "Still though!" Sid complained.
"Yeah, I'd have to agree with Clyde here, because to my people, accidental and unintentional touches to our chests don't count as sexual harassment and are easily forgiven!" Aya said. "No, it's alright, I don't blame her!" Yuji said, getting up. "But hey, did I hear you correctly when you said 'Only one person is allowed to touch me there and she is occupied'?" Yuji asked, putting emphasis on 'she'. "*Sigh!* Yes, you did hear me correctly! I was referring to my girlfriend Ronnie Anne a.k.a. LuchaPurple!" Sid said in mild embarrassment. Before pointing to said girl who was currently firing lightning bolts at Set who was firing back his own! "Oh, I didn't realize you were in a romantic relationship with another girl! Sorry to not know this earlier!" Yuji noted. "It's okay, and for the record, so are they." Sid said, gesturing to Becky and Dodge. "By the way, is that what Bes really supposed to look like?" Shouhei, now back in his own body, asked as he pointed at Bes, who's now an orange-skinned dwarf with a large head, goggle eyes, a white beard that covers only the sides of his face and not his chin, a lion's mane, a cat-like nose, lion-like ears, muscular arms, a large belly, bowlegs, five-fingered hands, five-toed feet, bushy lion's tail, and, instead of a blue metal cap crown, a crown of ostrich feathers on his head as well as having a leopard skin around his neck and a green-colored soldier's tunic on his torso, was rubbing his head in mild pain.
"Yeah, that's him alright." Rath said. "Oh man! My aching brain! What happened?" Bes asked while rubbing his head. "Set happened." Aya explained. "Set?! But how?!" Bes asked angrily. "From what these kids tell me, he got his hands on some sort of energy crystal, infused his chaos powers into it, and brainwashed a bunch of us!" Bastet complained. "In your case, he changed you into a green-skinned dwarf with a malevolent mischievous streak!" She added. "And a habit of making decisions based on the flip of a coin." Rath explained. That obviously made Bes mad. "Why that despicable storm God!" Bes said angrily. He then summoned a large battle knife into his right hand. "Where is he?! He shall pay for making a defender of good like me turn evil!" Bes declared. Everyone pointed to the battle as Lincoln in his Shinobi mode and Goro attacked Set with their swords.
"Who are they?" Bes asked in confusion. "From what they've told me, heroes from another world." Bastet said. "Another world? But, how did they get here in this realm?" Bes asked. "That's a long story involving an evil sorcerer, and a couple evil angels." Sid said. "Evil sorcerer? Wait a minute! You're not referring to Scarab, aren't you?" Bes asked. "Unfortunately, yes." Rath said. "In fact, in your evil state, I believe that Scarab once hired you to steal the Tree of Life for him, only for you to betray him and keep the tree for yourself, which resulted in every living thing starting to rapidly age, so we had to make you take the Tree back before it's all too late!" He added. That Bes shudder at that. "I did all that?! Set must have really messed up my mind really good!" Bes said. "You're not the only one." Bastet said. "Set made me behave like an arrogant and haughty tyrant!" She added.
"And he turned Sekhmet into a much more malevolent entity while fusing her with Nekhbet to give her a half-Vulture form instead of a half-lioness one!" Aya said. "Just what does Set think that he's trying to accomplish by turning us all evil?!" Bes asked in appall. "That's a good question." Rath said. Meanwhile, the rest of the Lucharangers and Ohrangers, plus Yui, Lana, Lucy, the Junior Morticians Club, Armon, Apep, and his followers and even the Hippoleogriff were fighting against Anubis, the Bulldog, and the Wolf. "The fact that Set dares to brainwash Anubis needs to be punished!" Lucy said angrily. "Agreed!" Rocky, Haiku, Dante, Persephone, Morpheus, Boris, and Bertrand all said, making everyone shiver in fright. "Those kids give me the creeps!" Momo whispered. "I feel the same way!" Juri said in agreement. "Yeah, that's the thing with Lucy and her friends, they're always creepy!" Carl said. Of course, while he was distracted, the Bulldog punched Carl so hard, that he got sent flying towards a nearby cactus, causing Carl to yell loudly in pain after landing butt-first onto the prickly plant. "CARL-KUN!" Yui shouted in horror before turning her attention to the Bulldog and angrily glare at him.
Yui then smacked the Bulldog in the face with her tail, hard. "Bad doggy!" She said angrily. That made Bulldog growl angrily. Only for Carl to shoot a solar ray at it. "That was for that sucker punch you pulled on me and making me land on a cactus of all things!" Carl said angrily while having cactus needles stuck to his butt. The three girls cringed at that. "I am not touching that!" Juri said. "Me neither." Momo said in agreement. "Not until there's a ring on this finger!" Yui said. "*Sigh!* Then, I guess it's up to me, since I'm the one with Nature powers!" Jalissa as she used her Nature powers to remove the cactus needles from Carl's butt all at once. "Thanks, Jalissa." Carl said. "You're welcome!" Jalissa replied. "Oh, um, Carl-kun, I didn't realize that you like trains as much as I do!" Yui said as she smiled a little bit with a blush upon seeing that, due to the cactus needles having been stuck to the fabric of suit and ripped part of it off upon getting removed, Carl's signature train-themed boxer shorts were exposed at the bottom back.
This caused Carl to yelp as Momo and Juri stifled laughs. "Aw, Man, my Choo-Choo Chonies are exposed!" Carl said in embarrassment while covering his behind with hands. "Now mom's going to have to fix this!" He complained as Yui chuckled at her boyfriend's misfortune. As that happened, the Wolf snuck behind Yui and grabbed her by the tail before pulling her up and having her hanging upside down, causing her underwear, which had bullet train patterns, to get exposed in front of everyone. This made Yui squeal in embarrassment, trying desperately to cover back up. "Hey!" Juri said, catching the wolf's attention as he turned to see both Juri and Momo holding Battle Sticks. "Not cool." Momo said, smacking hers in her palm. They then struck their Battle Sticks at the Wolf's crotch, causing him to whine in pain and let go of Yui, who was caught by Carl in a bridal hold. "You okay, Yui-chan?" Momo asked. "Yeah, I'm fine." Yui said, blushing and pressing her skirt down. "Not too many people saw that, did they?" She asked nervously. "No, it looks more like everyone is more concerned with what's going on." Carl said, looking around.
"*Sigh!* That's a relief!" Yui said in relief. "And before you ask, yes, those are Shinkansen, or Bullet Train, panties, since I really like trains a lot, though the girls in my old school tend to make fun of me for wearing such underwear whenever we change in the locker rooms, saying that they aren't girly enough!" She added in embarrassment. "If it makes you feel any better, I like trains too! And, yes, the kids in my class made fun of me for my Choo-Choo Chonies, due to my Abuelo bringing to me my spare underwear in front of everyone, which made everyone call me Carl Casa Chonies! It's incredibly embarrassing!" Carl said bashfully. Yui chuckled at that. "Hey, can you please not tell my family about this incident? They already had a hard time dealing with Oniichan's incident when it first came out, if they found out I was showing a boy my panties, even by accident, they may flip!" She whispered in Carl's ear.
"*Shudder!* Consider that done! Seriously, I was already afraid of your dad when we told your family that we're a couple now!" Carl said as a flashback to that specific moment started to play out. "So, Papa, Mama, Oniichan, after some romantic mutual discussions, Carl-kun and I have decided to start dating as an official couple! I hope you don't mind!" Yui said to her family, much to their shock. "I see." Mr. Konoha said before three fox tails erupted and wrapped around Carl, bringing him up close to Benjiro and Yui's father. "Let me make this clear, young man, I don't care if you are a superhero, you'd better treat my Yui right, do I make myself clear?" He asked. "*Gulp!* Yes, sir!" Carl said nervously. "Papa, you're embarrassing me!" Yui said in annoyance. That made Mr. Konoha flinch. "Sorry, little kit, the fox in me is just very protective of you and your brother." He said, setting Carl down and using one of his tails to pat Carl's head. "But be warned, the ears and tails aren't the only things we get from our Kitsune sides." He said, making Carl gulp in fright. "PAPA!" Yui said. "Right, sorry, I'm going to go now." Mr. Konoha said, quietly walking away as the flashback ended. "Even I was scared! It was the day I first met Kitsunagakiri's parents for the first time all over again!" Magnifalcougar admitted with a shiver.
"Yeah, again, sorry my father treated you that way, Mag-Mag!" Kitsunagikiri said. "Don't ask." They both said as Carl and Yui were both confused at that. "Well, Yui, on the bright side, at least your mom and brother are more supportive of our relationship and without threatening me!" Carl said. "Plus, the two of you look absolutely kawaii together!" Sakura beamed as she walked over. "By the way, Carl-kun, why is your underwear exposed in the behind?" She asked while stifled a chuckle. "Oh for the love of, does anyone have a needle, thread, and knowledge of how to fix gold spandex?" Carl asked. "Not at the moment, but, in meantime, you can use this to cover your behind!" Clyde said as he shot out webbing that covered the area where Carl's underwear was exposed. "Thanks." Carl said before he gently put Yui back on the ground. "Now, then, where were we?" He asked while his fists were covered in solar flames. He then charged towards the Wolf and the Bulldog before pummeling them both with his solar flame-covered fists. "That's for making fools out of me and my girlfriend!" He said, making Yui chuckle and blush.
Anubis saw all that and was already starting to get scared. "Uh Oh! I'd better get out of here!" Anubis said as he tried to sneak away. Before someone tapped on his shoulder, causing Anubis to turn to see Aya. "Spirit Purify!" She called, bathing the Egyptian God of funerary practices and care of the dead in amber light. That caused him clutch his head in pain. "Hey, Aya-chan, try using that on those two!" Yui said while pointing at the Wolf and Bulldog, who were still being beaten up by Carl. "Right, Carl move out of the way!" Aya said, shooting amber light at the animals. "Whoa!" Carl said as he quickly dodged the light. As soon as the light hit both of them, the Wolf and Bulldog started howling in pain while clutching their heads. At the same time, the Wolf turned from brown to silvery gray with stance being more upright instead of hunched while the Bulldog suddenly changed into a humanoid Jackal that's similar to Anubis, albeit with bigger muscles. "That's better!" Aya said.
"I knew it! That wolf is Upuaut a.k.a. Wepwawet!" Lucy said. "What about that muscular Jackal, who's clearly not Anubis and was originally a Bulldog?" Clyde asked. "Good question! There are other Jackal deities besides Anubis, such as Anput, the female counterpart of Anubis, Duamutef, who's one of the Four Sons of Horus the Younger, and Khenti-Amentiu, who stood guard over the city of the dead!" Lucy said. Aya then looked at the muscular Jackal's aura. "Apparently, Lucy, that muscular Jackal is definitely Khenti-Amentiu!" Aya said. Anubis groaned. "What happened?" He asked. "Set happened." Aya said, pointing to the evil god. "*GASP!* Now I remember! That wicked god, whom I'm very ashamed to call my father, used that rainbow crystal upon me!" Anubis said in anger and realization. "And you're not the only one." Vularena said as Aya gestured to Bastet, Bes, Hathor, Upuaut, and Khenti-Amentiu, the latter two recovering themselves.
This made Anubis growl. "Set's going to pay for that!" He declared angrily. "He's right over there." Aya said, pointing to the ongoing battle. "That's Set?! Why does he look completely different from when I last saw him?!" Anubis asked in shock and confusion. "We're not sure ourselves." Aya admitted. "Say, has anyone seen Nekhbet since we freed her from Sekhmet's body?" Aurachnid asked, noticing that the Vulture Goddess was nowhere to be seen. "I believe she quietly told me that she's going off to alert the rest of the Egyptian Gods and Goddesses to Set's evil plans!" Hathor said.
Meanwhile...
Nekhbet has already managed to meet up with the rest of the Egyptian Deities, consisting of Osiris, Ma'at, Nephthys, Bennu, Imhotep, Horus the Younger, Isis, Horus the Elder, Panebtawy, Khnum, Nebtuwi, Wadjet, Tawaret, Ipet, Reret, Hedjet, Serqet, Ta-Bitjet, Hedjedet, Sobek, Thoth, Astennu, Babi, Sepa, Henet, Naunet, Amun, Amune, Satis, Anuket, Sopdet Heqet, Aput, Kebechet, Kek, Heh, Hauhet, Qerḥ, Qerḥet, Atum, Iusaaset, Shu, Tefnut, Ptah, Neith, Hesat, Pakhet, Nemty, Hraf-Haf, Aken, Renpet, Seker, Nefertum, Unut, Mafded, Anhur, Mehit, Anuke, Renenutet, Seshat, Khonsu, Mut, Shezmu, Apis, Kherty, Nehebkau, Nehmetawy, Hapi, Montu, Medjed, Min, Repyt, Kolanthes, Mahaf, Matit, Mau the Great Cat, Merymutef, Nakith, Ken, Khenti-kheti, Nebt-Ankhiu, Nekheny, Pataikos, Pesi, Perit, Rekhyt, Sefkhet-Abwy, Sehith, Sekhet-Metu, Sekhemus, Sepes, Sesenet-Khu, Setem, Tayat, Temtith, Tepu-yn, Themath, Thmei, Weneg, Wenty, Wenenu, Khefthenebes, Kagemni, Igai, Iaqs, Hepwy, Hetepes-Sekhus, Heptet, Hedjhotep, Hauron, Harsomtus, Fa, Edjet, Dua, Khenti-Khas, Djefa, Djebuty, Besna, Besa, Bata, Ani, Anat, Ab-ta, Anhefta, Ermen-ta, Andjety, Amu-Aa, Amn, Amathaunta, Akhty, Abu, Abaset, A'ah, Hez-ur, Heneb, Hemsut, Sebiumeker, Sheshmetet, Fetket, Hemen, Khensut, Khesfu, Merymutef, Kneph, Hiw, Wedjarenes, Qed-Her, Resheph, Qetesh, Banebdjedet, Hatmehit, Meskhenet, Renenutet, Aker, Nefertem, Sah, Wadj-wer, Bat, Sheshmetet, Maahes, Mnevis, Mehet-Weret, Imentet, Iab, Hemsut, Ihy, Meret, Neper, Nepit, Tatenen, Tutu, Tapshay, Tabithet, Qebui, Henkhisesui, Hutchai, Shehbui, Gengen-Wer, Heryshaf, Wosret, Meretseger, Am-heh, Ba, Wepset, Iabet, Aqen, Shed, Ha, Sopdu, Dedun, Ash, Tayt, Petbe, Iat, Tjenenyet, Apedemak, Amesemi, Mandulis, Sebiumeker, Arensnuphis, Menhit, Werethekau, Peteese, Pihor, and the Four Sons of Horus the Younger (consistent of Imsety, Hapy, Duamutef, and Qebehsenuef).
She was explaining to them what was going on. "Apparently, Set has just took things way too far! He has this rainbow-colored energy crystal and infused it with his chaos magic, so he would use it to turn any benevolent god and goddess into evil ones, just so he would amass an army to take over this realm and then take over the Earth too! He had already managed to corrupt Ammit, who's currently missing, Bastet, Bes, Nuhn, Khenti-Amentiu, Upuaut, and Anubis! Heck, he even managed to corrupt Sekhmet, who he had me forcibly merged with in order to prevent me from warning all of you!" Nekhbet explained. This got the gods angry. "I was wondering why my husband was acting more chaotic than usual!" Naunet, Primordial goddess of sky and order, who looks like a woman made of wind with clouds for hair, said in disgust. "Thankfully, some warriors from another world have come and are currently facing Set, they've already freed myself, Hathor, Bastet, Bes, Anubis, Upuaut, and Khenti-Amentiu from his influence." Nekhbet said.
"Really? But how?" Sobek, the crocodile-headed humanoid god of protection, who's wearing a crown composed of ram horns, a sun disk, and feathered plumes, asked in confusion. "Apparently, one of those heroes, who was colored Amber, used some sort of power called spirit purify to undo the corruption!" Nekhbet answered. "Well, with everyone else being freed, that means that Set is all alone now!" Khnum, the twisted-horned ram-headed god of the source of the Nile, noted. "Unfortunately, that's not entirely the case, because he's allied himself with an evil mummy going by the name of Arakh!" Nekhbet said, much to the anger and frustration of Serqet, the goddess of healing venomous stings and bites, who looks like a woman with a live golden scorpion resting on top of her head. "I'm glad I've already sent my student and acolyte Kimas to go after him, because I really hate when people use the image of the scorpion for evil!" Serqet said. "Believe me, I feel the same way about people using the image of the centipede for evil!" Sepa, the centipede god of protection against venom, said in agreement. "At least Set doesn't have any other allies!" Babi, the bluish Hamadryas Baboon God of the Underworld, said. "Oh, wait, I'm starting to remember, Set has four more allies that haven't shown up yet, both of them being evil deities, specifically Ahti, the goddess of malicious intentions, Apesh, the tortoise god of darkness and night, Ba-Pef, the god of misfortune and dread, and Denwen, the Fiery One!" Nekhbet said, making the rest of the gods gasp in shock. "That Ahti, she's just as bad as Set!" Wadjet, the winged cobra goddess who protects Lower Egypt, said. "Same goes for Apesh!" Thoth, the Ibis-headed humanoid god of Moon, wisdom, knowledge, writing, hieroglyphs, science, magic, art and judgment, said. "Ba-Pef, I remember! That wicked brother of mine was always causing misfortune and despair wherever he goes!" Neith, goddess of creation, wisdom, and war, said to have created the first spider, who looks like a woman with a shield on top her head with crossed arrows on it, said in disgust. "And Denwen, he's really determined to destroy us all with his flames, which is a good thing that he was defeated by the spirit of deceased Pharaoh before he tried that!" Nehebkau, the funerary god who looks like a large snake with two heads and necks at the front, an extra snake head at the end of his tail, bird wings, and the arms and legs of a man, said with a shudder.
"True, by the way, Sepa, you'll be interested to hear that one of the warriors fighting Set, clad in magenta, has a Centipede motif." Nekhbet said. "Really?" Sepa asked with intrigue. "Indeed." Nekhbet said. "Also, just to let you all know, Apep and his four followers are actively helping the heroes against Set!" She added. "Apep, as in Apophis the chaos serpent or the other serpent who shared his original name that got vanished by Pharaoh Amenhotep's father?" Heqet, the frog-headed humanoid goddess of fertility and the annual flooding of the Nile River, asked in confusion. "The latter!" Nekhbet answered. "At least it's not that sinister snake." Horus the younger said.
"At least it's not that sinister snake." Horus the Younger, Falcon-headed humanoid god of light and good, said. "Not only that, but, apparently, the four guardians of Rapses are there too!" Nekhbet said. "Well that's strange. What could they be doing here? And why are there warriors from another world here anyway?" Horus the younger asked. "I do not know, but I do know that they are near the Solar Baroque." Nekhbet said. "Oh, what are they doing there?" A voice asked as seven new figures walked up. The first one was a falcon headed man carrying a staff with an illuminated solar disc on top (Ra, god of the sun, order, kings and the sky), the second one was a head-sized Scarab Beetle controlling a headless artificial muscular humanoid body through a series of levers (Khepri, god of the rising morning sun and renewal), the third one was a long coiling boa constrictor-sized snake that followed the Falcon-headed man (Mehen, protective serpent god who defends Ra from Apophis during his travels), the third one was a bearded man with an Egyptian eye symbol floating on his head who's carrying a papyrus scroll in his right hand (Sia, god of perception and writing), the fourth one was another bearded man with falcon wings on his back, ram horns on his head, and the Egyptian tongue symbol floating on his head (Hu, god of the first word), the sixth one was a man wearing Pharaoh clothing with a pair of decorative bent and raised arms on top of his head while carrying a knife in left hand and a staff entwined with two snakes in his right hand (Hekau, god of magic and medicine), and the seventh one is a man with the head a gazelle who was holding a sceptre in his right hand and a palm branch in his left hand (Shai, god of fate and destiny).
"Ra, Khepri, Mehen, Sia, Hu, Hekau, Shai!" Nekhbet said in surprise. "It's good to see you again, Nekhbet!" Khepri said. "Likewise." Nekhbet said. "So, what's this about the guardians of Rapses being here in this realm?" Mehen asked. Nekhbet then explained everything to them. "So, Scarab has been freed from his prison, like I have predicted!" Shai said. "Apparently." Nekhbet said. "Question, does one of those heroes from another world bear the initials 'LL'?" Sia asked. "Well, I didn't really hear any names." Nekhbet admitted. "But, I did get a brief glimpse on one of them, specifically a twelve-year-old boy wearing orange-and-white armor with an almost insectoid helmet, and he did have those specific initials on his chest plate!" She noted. "He also changed into a form that's all black with no armor save shoulder and kneepads, a scarf, and wielded a sword." Nekhbet added.
"Sounds like he's part of my newest premonition!" Shai said. "What do you mean, Shai?" Mehen asked. "Being the God of Fate and Destiny, I always have premonitions, whether they be minor or highly important! My newest premonition told me that heroes from another universe would come and help the guardians of Rapses finally defeat the evil sorcerer Scarab once and for all!" Shai explained. "Leading the battalion would be a man in red with a star on his face, a girl in purple with a Jaguar head, and a boy matching the description you gave." He added. "Of course, Set and his allies would end up getting involved to exact revenge against the guardians!" Shai said. "And there would be giant automatons." He added. "So, I propose we create a magical artifact that would give the child with the 'LL' initials, so that it would give him an edge over Set and Scarab!" Shai said. "Interesting idea, Shai, very well then." Ra said.
"Ptah, we'll need your creative skills to make this artifact!" He said to Ptah, the creator god of craftsmen and architects, seen as a man with green skin, contained in a shroud sticking to the skin, who's wearing the divine beard and holding a sceptre combining three powerful symbols of ancient Egyptian religion, specifically the Ankh, the Was sceptre, and the Died pillar. "Of course!" Ptah said.
Meanwhile...
Futaba, Moroha, Scarab, the remaining Animarius Soldiers, and the Zodiarts, along with Presley, who was in tow inside of a bubble, have just met up with King Draco, Stephano, Shibogumon, and Akuji. "So you're Moroha, Futaba has described your skills on the battlefield with great praise." King Draco told the Warrior Angel. "Indeed! I'm quite proud to be what I am!" Moroha said proudly. "Yeah, you should have seen how easily he demolished the Kamen Riders, Lucharangers, and those other guys' mechas! He didn't even break a sweat!" Futaba said. "Heck, I've actually managed to record that moment!" He added as he showed footage of Moroha against the Mechas. This made Stephano, Akuji, and even Shibogumon back up nervously! "Impressive!" King Draco said. "Thank you, and you should be nervous!" Moroha told King Draco and the Dark Riders, noticing the latter three's behavior. "I was quite the beast in battle, even more so when piloting my personal Mecha, Cherubim Iskuron!" Moroha said proudly. Before growling in annoyance. "If that human hadn't sacrificed himself to take us both out, I very well could have wiped him and his little friends all out!" He said.
That made everyone but Futaba rather confused. "It's a long story." Futaba said. "Oh, speaking of, Drako, apparently, we found that there was actually a sixth traitor from the Royal Guard!" Futaba informed, much to King Draco's outrage. "ANOTHER ONE?! WHO IS IT THIS TIME?!" King Draco asked angrily. "Apparently, it was Elisserios, turns out he was the one that caused the freak sandstorm that prevented Akhexus, Apshaita, and Kranokola from entering the dimensional rift, just so that they won't follow the five traitors into the this world!" Futaba explained, making King Draco growl angrily. "But don't worry, I took care of him. Unfortunately, I lost his Soul Core, if I hadn't, I would have stomped it into tiny pieces!" Futaba said, making Presley flinch as he hid said item in his jacket. "Matters not, what does matter is that the other five got away, and we have no idea how to get them!" King Draco said angrily before thinking for a moment. "Knowing LL, he and his allies will most likely try and escape the realm you said you trapped them in, do you have any idea how they could do so?" King Draco asked Scarab. "The only way out is through either the Western Gate in San Francisco only accessible once the sun sets, and the Eastern Gate a few miles North of Cairo, only accessible once the sun rises." Scarab explained.
That took everyone by surprise. King Draco then pulled out the Shi No Gutai Ka and pointed the tip of it's blade at Scarab's neck. "Take us there." He demanded. "On one condition, I want a robot like the ones those heroes have, do you think you can do that?" Scarab requested. "*Sigh!* Fine! I'll see to if if Cicadeath and Flygor are willing to do just that!" King Draco said.
Meanwhile...
Cicadeath and Flygor were working in their lab when they heard the comm link ringing. "Hello?" Cicadeath asked answering it like a phone. "Well, we have been working on something new, I suppose with some designs we could do that." Cicadeath said after a few seconds. "Okay, then, we'll get to it right away, your Majesty!" He added before ending the call. "We've got a big order!" He told Flygor.
With The Others In The Realm Beyond The Western Gate...
As soon as Aya came and looked for Nuhn, finding him still small and hiding behind a stone structure, she immediately used her Spirit Purify ability on him, restoring him to normal. "Oh, wow, what a rush! Thanks!" Nuhn said. "You're welcome!" Aya said. "Though, now I'm afraid of that little blonde-haired princess! Seriously, she's scarier than my wife Naunet whenever she gets angry at me!" Nuhn said. "Yeah, sorry about that! Lola has a reputation for being aggressive and violent whenever somebody messes with her clothing or her face!" Aya said. Nuhn shuddered in fright at that. "Yeah! Anyway, now that you're the last freed from Set's influence, let's say that we go ahead and defeat him and Arakh once for all, okay?" Aya suggested. "Okay!" Nuhn said. "It's over, Set! You and Arakh are outnumbered in more ways than one! Best to surrender while you still can!" Ja-Kal said as he and everyone else surrounded Set and Arakh. However, Set started laughing maniacally, much to everyone's confusion. "Villain laughing despite insurmountable odds, that's never a good sign!" Lincoln said.
"Me? Surrender? I think not!" Set declared as he engulfed himself in a bright light and changed himself back into his true form, which was a black Humanoid Sha, similar to Shaos but with Egyptian male clothing and no Soul Core. "You have a better chance of Apophis actually swallowing Ra than me surrendering!" He declared. "That's the Set we're familiar with." Lucy said. "Make's me wonder why he took on the form of a dog in the first place!" Aya noted. "That's because, if any of the gods and goddesses that I've corrupted saw my true form, they would automatically gain their memories and personalities back and turn on me instantly!" Set said. "Plus, nobody in this day and age knows exactly what a Sha is, so I took on a more modern canine appearance to keep up with the times!" He admitted. "It doesn't matter what you look like Set, you're still outnumbered!" Ja-Kal said. "Are you so sure about that?" Set asked before letting out an unearthly scream. That caused everyone to cover their ears in pain. Sid and Yui were especially in pain. "One of the only downsides of being part mystic animal, sensitive hearing." Yui complained.
"Believe me, I feel the same way!" Kitsunagikiri said as she covered her sensitive ears in pain. Suddenly, the ground started shaking as several skeletal hands shot out. "That can't be good!" Shotaro said as a huge army of undead skeletons wearing Egyptian soldier armor and carrying different types of weapons, specifically Khopeshes, Spears, Swords, Shields, Battle Axes, Composite Bows and Arrows, Javelins, Mace-Axes, Daggers, Whips, Cudgels, Maces, Slings, Throw Sticks, and Naboots (quarterstaffs constructed out of palm wood or rattan), rose of the sand, with some of those skeletons driving spiked chariots pulled by skeletal horses and some others riding on flying Ancient Egyptian warships that are armed with catapults. "That's definitely not good!" Armon said. "How do you like my skeleton army? I've been slowly building it up for quite a very long time, as they are the souls of wicked individuals that I've recruited for my cause, which is easy considering that I've helped them avoid their punishment of having their hearts getting devoured by using the energy crystal to corrupt Ammit into a male version of herself called Ammut, who now behaves exactly like a non-sentient domestic dog and currently with Scarab!" Set said.
"Such evil cannot go unpunished!" Lucy said before grabbing Lincoln's collar. "You must defeat him this instant!" She told her brother. "Easier said than done!" Lincoln said. "Speaking of recruits, I've managed to gain additional allies in the form of other Egyptian deities that are just as evil as me and are more than happy to help me overthrow and destroy the good deities!" Set said as he then snapped his fingers on his left hand. This caused the ground to rumble again as four new individuals joined up with Set and Arakh. The first one as a large female hippopotamus with the head of a wasp (Ahti), the second one was a man with the whole body of an Egyptian Tortoise for his head (Apesh), the third one was a man with the whole body of an Egyptian Carpet Viper (a species of venomous snake) for his head (Ba-Pef), and the fourth one was a huge red draconic serpent covered in flames that don't burn him (Denwen). "I'm Ahti, Evil Goddess of Malicious Intentions!" The wasp-headed hippo, known as Ahti, announced. "I'm Apesh, Evil God of Darkness and Night!" The tortoise-headed man, known as Apesh, announced. "I'm Ba-Pef, Evil God of Misfortune, Woe, and Dread!" The viper-headed man, known as Ba-Pef, announced. "And I'm Denwen, the Fiery One!" The fiery draconic serpent, known as Denwen, announced.
The Mummies and Lucy cringed at this.
"Dang It, I forgot about those evil deities!" Lucy complained. "Mou! The sun will rise in an hour!" Takeru noted, pulling out the Mugen Eyecon while Shotaro and Phillip summoned the Xtreme Memory, Phillip's body already onboard, and Ryu pulled out the Laser Memory Shintomaru sent him. "The Ocean Memory worked out last time, don't see why the same can't be said here!" He said, clicking the button.
Laser!
He then inserted it into his driver. While Takeru, Shotaro, and Phillip did the same. "Oy! Don't forget about me and Ryusei!" Gentarou said he pulled out the Cosmic Switch while Ryusei pulled out the Meteor Storm Switch. "Don't you require the rest of the Kamen Rider Club to be present to use that, Gentarou-sempai?" Sakura asked in confusion. "Actually, it's powered by the bonds between my friends, and just because they're not here right now doesn't mean that those bonds aren't there!" Gentarou pointed out. "As the Virgo Zodiarts found out." He added before loading the switch into his driver.
Cosmic!
Ryusei did the same.
Meteor Storm!
"I'd better join in on this too!" Alain said as he pulled out the Yujou Burst Eyecon and loaded into the Mega Ulorder. "Henshin!" Gentarou, Ryusei, Takeru, Alain, Shotaro, Phillip, and Ryu announced as they all transformed.
Cosmic On! (Bombastic space music)
Meteor On, Ready? (Hard rock music)
Chokaigan! Mugen! (Angelic rock music) Keep on going! Go, Go, Go! Go, Go, Go! Go, Go, Go! Gotta! Ghost!
Yujoukaigan! Burst! Orera Burst! Yujou fight! Tomete miseru ze omae no tsumi o!
Xtreme! (Turbine whirring sound to epic orchestra)
Laser! (Music similar to the Cyan Wisps theme music "Color Power: Cyan Laser" from "Sonic Colors)
As soon as Gentarou became Fourze Cosmic States, Ryusei became Meteor Storm, Takeru became Ghost Mugen Damashii, Alain became Necrom Yujou Burst Damashii, and Phillip and Shotaro became W CycloneJokerXtreme, Ryu had the Laser Memory's symbol, which looked like a Cyan-colored laser beam shaped like a capital letter 'L', appear in front of him before it turned into Cyan particles of light that merged with his form and gave him a new Cyan-colored form which looks similar to his Accel Booster form, albeit with a new chestplate resembling the kind seen in ArmoGear Laser Tag set, a new high-tech jetpack on his back that have shoulder blasters on them, a new pair of gauntlets that have laser blasters on them, a new pair of leg armor that also have laser blasters on them, and a new helmet that resembles the Worlds of Wonder 1986 Retro Star Lazer Tag Helmet with an added visor and mouth plate like that of Ryu's Accel Trial form and a capital L-Shaped crest on top. As soon as the Face Flasher behind his visor flashed a bright cyan circular light, Ryu took a firm heroic stance as he announced "Kamen Rider Accel... Laser!" as a burst of cyan laser energy exploded behind him. "Bring it on!" Set said.
Meanwhile...
King Pyramidder was once again visible and on the ground. "The Eastern Gate is supposed to be around here." Phonexus said. "Even if we know where it is, since none of us are of Egyptian descent, we're basically sitting ducks out here!" Elaine reminded everyone as Lisa noticed the Seiza Blaster still hooked up. "I wonder...Rikki, you still have the Neo Kyutama made from those Zodiarts from earlier?" Lisa asked KingRanger. "Yes, I do, but I don't know what to do with them!" Rikki said as he pulled out the three Neo Kyutama. "I may have one." Lisa said, taking the one made from Pharos. "The Pharos of Alexandria, a lighthouse built on the island of Pharos near Alexandria, Egypt, it helped traders find their way, my theory is if we use this like we did the Kogitsune Kyutama, we may be able to find the Eastern Gate!" Lisa explained. "Brilliant idea, Lisa!" AkaRed said in approval. "Do you really think it will work?" Axelsior asked. "Only one way to find out." Lisa said, loading the Pharos Neo Kyutama into the Seiza Blaster.
Pharos Neo Kyutama! Gamma Attack!
"Here goes nothing!" Lisa said, pulling the trigger. At that moment, it caused a huge projection of the Pharos Gamma-Ray Constellation, complete with the image of the ancient lighthouse Pharos of Alexandria, to appear in front of King Pyramidder. The constellation passed over King Pyramidder, causing a light to shine at the top and start rotating, casting it's light all over the Sahara Desert before revealing a large gate similar in design to the Western Gate that was previously invisible! "That's got to be it!" Alraunellie said. "And not a moment too soon! My Satellite Eyes just saw King Draco and the Dark Riders, and Futaba, his team, and Scarab are with them!" Panopticon said. "Uh Oh!" Hieracos, Crios, Phoenexus, Axcelsior, and Sakira said in fright. Before Sakira looked at her eggs and started crying, worrying about what was about to happen. "Don't worry, Sakira, I was able to slip out on our way here and found some more backup just in case!" AkaRed said as blaster shots hit King Draco and his group.
"Now, what?!" King Draco asked in annoyance. Everyone looked up to see the Metal Heroes Blue Beet, G-Stag, and Reddle, AKA the Juukou B-Fighters with their signature weapons, the Stinger Blade, Stinger Claw, and Stinger Plasmar, as well as the New generation B-Fighters, Kabuto, Kuwagar, and Tentou with their signature weapons, the Kabuto Lancer, Kuwagar Chopper, and Tentou Spear! Plus, there was the Hercules Beetle-themed ally Ijigen Chōtatsuya (Extradimensional Supplier) Kabuto, Head Professor Kenzo Mukai in his Mukaider K3 armor, and the New B-Fighters Yanma, Genji, Min, and Ageha with their signature weapons Tonbou-Gun, Lightning Cannon, Ringer Swords, and Bloom Cannon. "Just who the heck are you people?!" Shibogumon asked in shock. "Your 'backup' is a bunch of people in insect themed armor?" Nisa asked AkaRed."Yeah, what's up with that?" Nagi asked in confusion. "They are Metal Heroes known as B-Fighters." AkaRed explained.
"And what exactly are B-Fighters?" Emizel asked. "Oh I get It, B as in Beetle, in this case Rhinoceros, Stag, and Ladybug." Lisa noted. "But, aside from the Firefly one, those B-Fighters over there aren't based on beetles, especially since they based on a Dragonfly, Cicada, and Butterfly!" Phixia pointed out, referring to the four New B-Fighters. "Well, the original B-Fighters, Blue Beet, G Stag, and Reddle, although, what you see here is actually the second Reddle, as the original left for South America, were formed to fight the Extradimensional Invasion Army Jamahl, aided by the Insect Elder Sage Guru, who's currently dead, and his son the Extradimensional Supplier Kabuto, a few years after Jamahl's defeat, the New Generation B-Fighters, Kabuto, Kuwagar, Tentou, Yanma, Genji, Min, and Ageha, were formed to fight the Melzard Tribe." AkaRed said. "What about that guy in armor that clearly doesn't have an insect theme or any animal theme for that matter?" Pazuzu asked. "That's the original B-Fighters' ally, the Earth Academia Japan Branch's Head Professor Mukai Kenzo, who worked as a "mentor" for the B-Fighters alongside Sage Guru, usually working at Earth Academia to assist the team by leading research on Jamahl's warriors and developing new weaponry and vehicles for the B-Fighters! As for the armor he's wearing, that's the Mukaider K3, which he once donned to defend his former love, Sayuri, when the Synthetic Beast Rasbelga, based on the carnivorous "Rasbel" flower, attacked. Of course, while his armor did fall apart gradually while fighting the plant monster, Kenzo's actions allowed Blue Beet to help G-Stag & Reddle, who were stuck within Rasbelga's stomach at the time, break free and then finish off the monster!" AkaRed explained as he showed footage of said events.
"So you are the villains AkaRed told us about?" Blue Beet asked King Draco and his group. "I'll admit, compared to some of the ones we had to fight, you guys aren't that impressive." G Stag said. "You definitely aren't as ugly as some of the ones we fought." Reddle said. "Definitely not." Tentou said. "Okay, now, I can't tell if that's a compliment or an insult!" Akhexus said in confusion. "To tell you the truth, neither are we!" Reddle and Tentou joked. "You still haven't answered the question of you all are!" Shibogumon said. "We are the B-Fighters!" Blue Beet said. "Blue Beet!" He announced. "G-Stag!" G-Stag announced. "Reddle!" Reddle announced. "B-Fighter Kabuto!" B-Fighter Kabuto announced. "B-Fighter Kuwagar!" B-Fighter Kuwagar announced. "B-Fighter Tentou!" B-Fighter Tentou announced. "Kaze no Senshi (Warrior of Wind)! B-Fighter Yanma!" B-Fighter Yanma announced. "Hikari no Senshi (Warrior of Light)! B-Fighter Genji!" B-Fighter Genji announced. "Oto no Senshi (Warrior of Sound)! B-Fighter Min!" B-Fighter Min announced. "Hana no Senshi (Warrior of Flowers)! B-Fighter Ageha!" B-Fighter Ageha announced. "Ijigen Chōtatsuya (Extradimensional Supplier), Kabuto!" Extradimensional Supplier Kabuto announced. "Mukaider K3!" Mukaider K3 announced.
Of course, the fact that there were two warriors with the name Kabuto fighting for good made King Draco chuckle. "Too bad my Kabuto is off world, he wouldn't be too happy with you two!" He said, pointing to the two Kabutos. That made them rather confused. "Well it doesn't matter, AkaRed asked us to keep you punks busy, and busy you shall be!" Blue Beet said as his Stinger Blade started spinning. "And while they're handling that." AkaRed said, hooking a second Seiza Blaster to King Pyrammider and placing another Neo Kyutama in it.
Golden Gate Neo Kyutama! Gamma Attack!
Pulling the trigger, AkaRed summoned a construct resembling the Golden Gate Bridge Gamma-Ray Constellation, complete with the image of the iconic bridge itself, which then turned into an actual bridge connecting the ground in front of King Pyrammidder to the Eastern Gate. "This begs the question of what these do." Lisa said, holding up the Radio Telescope, Einstein, and Obelisk Neo Kyutamas. "To quote ToQ1gou, Shupatssu Shinko!" AkaRed called, pointing forward. "Huh?" Everyone who didn't speak Japanese asked. "Full speed ahead." Lisa translated. King Pyrammidder then drove up the bridge.
With Those On The Other Side...
The heroes were giving a lot of effort to fight against Set, Arakh, Ahti, Apesh, Ba-Pef, Denwen, and the Skeleton Army. "Mou, these guys are more annoying than the Barlo Soldiers!" Momo said, bashing a Skeleton with her Circle Defender. Unfortunately, after falling apart, the Skeleton got covered in energy bolts as it magically pulled itself back together in a flash. "Especially since the Barlos never did that!" Juri said in annoyance. "Yeah, no matter how hard we knock them down, they always keep getting back up!" Masaru complained as he kicked another skeleton to pieces, only for it instantly reassemble itself back in a flash. Cristeiroceros groaned in frustration. "Where's Euryzinophis when you need him! His powers over death should make quick work of these things!" He complained.
Back at the temple...
"ACHOO!" Euryzinophis loudly sneezed all of a sudden. "That was a big sneeze, you okay, dood?" Elliot asked as he and the other Prinnies and Axolota were dusting the temple while the others were away. "I'm okay! Must be somebody talking about me from far away, like those Japanese superstitions that Sakura told us about!" Euryzinophis said. "Maybe it's my twin brother that was talking about you!" Electraginconia suggested. "Maybe." Axolota said.
Back With The Others...
As everyone else was battling against the Skeleton Army, the Mummies, Lincoln, Goro, Takeru, Alain, Gentarou, Ryusei, Shotaro & Phillip, and Ryu were fighting against Set, Arakh, Ahti, Apesh, Ba-Pef, and Denwen. "You pathetic humans don't stand a chance against me and my army!" Set declared. "Oh yeah? We'll just see about that!" Gentarou said as he and the charged towards the villains. When all of a sudden, lasers shot at the villains as King Pyrammider in Carrier formation arrived. "What now?!" Set asked in annoyance. "Looks like we arrived just in time!" AkaRed said. "I'll sit this battle out, someone needs to watch over these." Sakira said, holding her eggs closely. "Good idea, Sakira!" Fuka said. "And don't worry, my love, once all this is over, we will have a wonderful, peaceful life, all four of us." Axcelsior said, kissing Sakira and the eggs lovingly. That made Sakira blush a little bit. "I have no doubt you will make an excellent father, Axcelsior." Toadus told the Axex Animarius. "Thanks, Toadus!" Axcelsior said.
"You can't possibly be any worse than ours." Andros said. "He literally kidnapped the humans we fell in love with and threatened to kill them both if we didn't return to his side!" Phixia said clenching her fist in anger. That made everyone gasp in shock. "Yeah, but thankfully they're safe." Andros said. "And what became of Sphinxia, I might ask?" Hieracos asked. "The Kamen Riders and Lucharangers defeated her in battle and sealed her Soul Core." Phixia said. "Especially since hates us being in a romantic relationship with human children as much as our 'father' does!" Andros added. "But we don't care!" Phixia said as they all exited King Pyrammider, leaving Dormin, Lisa, Amanda, Walter, Elaine, and Sakira. "Guys! You're here!" Lincoln said. "Sorry it took so long, King Draco, Weather, Armadeiras, and Mortem came to this world, so we had to distract them while looking for these guys." Makoto said, gesturing to the Animarius.
"Greetings! I'm Hieracos, the Hieracosphinx Animarius!" Hieracos said. "I'm his non-identical twin brother Crios, the Criosphinx Animarius!" Crios said. "I'm Phoenexus, the Phoenix Animarius!" Phoenexus said. "And I'm Axcelsior, the Axex Animarius!" Axcelsior said. "My fiancee Sakira, the Sak Animarius, is currently inside the Pyramid here caring for our eggs." He explained. "And what exactly is a Criosphinx and a Sak?" Aurachnid asked. "Well, the Criosphinx is another variant of the Egyptian Sphinx, this time with the head of a ram, which is used to honor the Egyptian God Amun! As for the Sak, well, it's an obscure mythical creature that's described as having the head of a falcon, the upper body of a lioness, the lower body of a horse, eight triangular mamelles, that's the nonhumanoid equivalent of breasts by the way, since the hieroglyphics depicted only the females, and a long cat-like tail with a lotus flower at its end! Plus, in Hieroglyphs, the Sak is usually depicted wearing a collar round its neck, which would include a leash, indicating the Sak might be a domesticated mythical creature, and with bars and stripes on its body! While there's no evidence of any male Saks, it's suggested that the female Saks were feared and respected as they had the potential to rear more of their kind, plus they were believed to have been worshipped in the rites related to fertility!" Lisa explained through the comm link.
"Good to hear you again, Lisa-chan!" Sakura said. "Likewise, and you can thank me for the brilliant idea that brought us to this world, all I needed was the Neo Kyutama we got from the Pharos Zodiarts to shine it's light on the Eastern Gate, and AkaRed then used the Golden Gate Neo Kyutama to provide a path." Lisa explained. That took everyone by surprise. "It doesn't matter how many of you there are, get them!" Set ordered as some Skeletons charged, only for Emizel to smirk before swinging his scythe, causing several skeletons to turn to dust, and much to Set's shock, they didn't come back. "The blade of A Grim Reaper's scythe is made from a special metal found only in the depths of Hades, with it, even the most powerful Necromancer's spell is useless against it!" He explained. "And, what do you know, those skeletons have left behind their souls!" He added as he spotted several floating orbs where the skeletons used to be. "Way to go, Emizel!" Nagi said.
Right before she went and hugged Emizel tightly, much to his embarrassment. "Now then, let's kick some Egyptian butt!" Alraunellie said, summoning some vines and using them to lash out at more skeletons. "I'm with you, Nellie!" Desco as she had the Octorabbit attack even more skeletons. Emizel sighed before rushing to get more Skeletons with his scythe before they could reform. While also collecting any souls that the skeletons leave behind after he destroys them. While Alraunellie was tossing the Skeletons around, Desco couldn't help but smile and chuckle. "Dang, girl's got moves!" Nagi said, before bashing a skeleton with her wrench. "Yeah, that's Desco's girlfriend for you!" Desco said in delight. "Girlfriend? Since when?" Nagi asked curiously. "Since shortly after she decided to defect from Lujuria's army." Desco explained. That took Nagi by surprise. "Yeah, needless to say, Lujuria isn't too happy about it, but if she wants to hurt Alraunellie for it, she'll have to get past Desco to do so!" Desco said menacingly.
That made Nagi a bit frightened. "Nice to see you're still as cute and deadly as always, Desco." She said nervously. "Thank you!" Desco replied. At the same time, Nisa and Pazuzu teamed up to take down more Skeletons. "Hey, Nisa! Glad to see you again!" Nikki said. "Likewise, and I still cannot thank your friend Aya enough, no one has had the audacity to call me flat since I drank that potion!" Nisa said. "Although, unfortunately, I'm still single, since I can't seem to find the right guy for me in the Netherworlds! Plus, some of the male demons that I fight against tried to grope me in the chest a lot, much to my own chagrin, so I often have to beat them black and blue just to make them stop!" She added. "Serves those punks right, thankfully Sameer knows better than to touch, anything other than looking needs my explicit permission." Nikki said, making Sameer gulp upon hearing that. That made Nisa chuckle a little bit.
"Did you really have to tell her about that last part, Nikki?" Sameer asked in embarrassment. "Sorry, sweetie." Nikki said, hugging her boyfriend. "Well, it's sweet that you have a boyfriend, Nikki! I still wish I can go back to Gamindustri and try my luck at finding the right guy for me there!" Nisa said. "So, how come you haven't done that yet?" Nikki asked. "Apparently, when I tried to use the same portal that brought me from Gamindustri to Hades, I was unable get through it without hurting myself! It's almost as if something or somebody is trying to keep me from getting back home!" Nisa answered. "Weird." Regaluco noted. "You said it, Luco!" Nikki said.
Meanwhile...
As Emizel continued slicing down skeletons and collecting their souls, Set got really angry. "Somebody stop that kid!" Set ordered. "I'll get him!" Ahti said as she towards Emizel and bit him in the right leg with her sharp wasp mandibles *CHOMP!*. "YEOW!" Emizel yelped in pain. That also caused him to drop his scythe, which fell blade-first into the sand. "Here, Set, catch!" Ahti said as she grabbed the scythe with her mandibles and then threw it over to Set, who caught it by the handle with his left hand. This made the evil god chuckle maliciously. "Uh oh!" Lincoln said, noticing said behavior. "Now, with this weapon in my hands, nobody can stop me and my army!" Set declared, much to Emizel's anger. As this was going on, Nekhbet was flying above, carrying something in her talons.
"I hope we're not too late!" Nekhbet said as she and some of the other Egyptian deities, specifically Ra, Khepri, Mehen, Sia, Hu, Hekau, Shai, Ptah, Osiris (God of of fertility, agriculture, the afterlife, the dead, resurrection,

"Don't worry, Nekhbet, we'll be there!" Hu said as several other Egyptian gods followed behind the rest, specifically Wadj-Wer (god of lakes and lagoons, seen as a man made of greenish lake water), Wenenu (hare-headed protector god), Heryshaf (bluish ram-headed god of fertility and the riverbanks, seen wearing a Shuti crown on his head), Qetesh (nature and fertility goddess, seen as a woman wearing a Hathor wig and a white dress riding on a large male Lion while carrying a snake in her right hand and a bouquet of papyrus flowers in her left hand), Kherty (ram-headed mummy guide of the deceased), Nemty (Falcon-headed four-winged god of ferrymen, seen riding on a fly canoe), Wepset (protector goddess of kings, seen as a winged cobra with a woman's head), Apedemak (god of war, seen as having the lower body of a long snake and the upper body of a man with four arms and three lion heads while wearing an elaborate hemhem crown, and also seen riding on a pair of an African War Elephants and holding a quartet of male lions on leashes), Amesemi (protective goddess and Apedemak's wife, seen as a dark-skinned woman wearing a crown shaped like a falcon, a black robe dress, and a short necklace with large beads while holding a golden staff), Mandulis (god of the sun and sky, seen as a human-headed falcon wearing wearing an elaborate headdress of ram's horns, cobras and plumes surmounted by sun discs), Aani (Olive Baboon servant of Thoth), Renpet (goddess of fertility, spring, and youth, seen as a young woman wearing a palm shoot over her head), Werethekau (goddess of protection, seen as a woman with the lower body of a cobra, the head of a lioness, and the wings of a bird on her back), Dunawy (god of the east, seen as a hawk-headed man extending his arms and holding a lance and a rope), Ken (Goddess of Love, seen as a woman wearing a long pink dress and riding on a lion while holding two snakes in one hand and a flower in the other), Tashay (goddess of the city and oasis, and wife of Tutu, seen as a woman wearing a crown with bovine horns, sun disk and two ostrich feathers, the whole set atop a modius, and a small necklace with a round pendan), Hetepes-Sekhus (cobra-headed underworld goddess, seen with an entourage of crocodiles), Petbe (god of revenge, seen as a man wearing a Shuti crown and holding an Ankh-shaped dagger), Hraf-Haf (the Celestial Ferryman, seen as having the upper body of a man and the lower body of a crocodile while riding a flying canoe), Beset (dwarf goddess of protection and Bes's wife), Astarte (war goddess of fertility, beauty, hunting, and love, seen as a winged woman wearing a purple flower-covered dress with a solar disk and a crescent moon as a headdress who's driving a horse drawn war chariot while accompanied by a pair of lions and a pair of doves), Hauron (god of healing, the underworld, magic, and exorcisms, seen as a giant falcon), Iah, (moon god, seen as a man wearing a full wig with a moon disc and a crescent moon on top), Soknopaios, (oracular god in shape of a falcon-headed crocodile), Mau the Divine Cat (associated with Ra, seen as a giant-sized Egyptian Mau cat), Arensnuphis (Nubian god and companion of Isis, seen as a man with a crown of feathers and carrying a lasso, water-skin, and a spear while riding on a crocodile), Kek (primordial god of darkness and night, seen as a made out of shadows), Kauket (primordial goddess of light and day, seen as a woman made out of light), Ḥeḥ (primordial god of time and infinity, seen as a man with a divine beard and lappet wig with a short palm branch on top and carrying to longer palm branches in his hands), Ḥeḥut (primordial goddess of space and eternity, seen as a woman covered in stars and hair made of an Aurora), Qerḥ (primordial god of creation and destruction, seen as a frog-headed man holding a Was sceptre), and Qerḥet (primordial goddess of life and death, seen as a cobra-headed woman carrying a wad sceptre).
"Uh, does anyone else see a giant pyramid firing lasers at what appears to be an army of skeletons?" Tawaret asked as they approached the battlefield. "I'm seeing it too!" Bennu said. "That skeleton army must be Set's! *SIGH!* This time, my ex-husband is taking things too far!" Nephthys, ex-wife of Set and goddess of the sky, mourning, the night/darkness, temple service, childbirth, the dead, protection, magic, health, embalming, and beer, who looks like a crow-winged woman wearing a headdress in the shape of a house and basket and accompanied by a crow on her left shoulder, said in frustration. "*Sniff, Sniff!* I'm smelling evil wicked souls!" Am-heh said as he sniffed the air with his sensitive hunting dog nose. "I'm smelling it too, Am-heh! Those skeletons must be the wicked souls!" Babi said.
"What?! Those souls should have been sent to be judged for their crimes and eaten by Ammit! Set must have recruited them right underneath our noses!" Osiris said in shock. "Something must have happened to Ammit!" Hetepus-Sekhes said. "Yeah, believe that Set had already managed to corrupt her, but the fact that she wasn't with the other corrupted gods and goddesses means that she's somewhere else and even I don't where!" Nekhbet said. "We'll have to settle that later, for now, we need to take care of this situation." Horus the Younger said.
Meanwhile...
"You and Axcelsior must be so excited about this." Amanda said to Sakira as everyone was setting up a little area for the eggs. "We know! Axcelsior and I have been planning to start a family for quite a while!" Sakira said. "Well, given my limited knowledge of the gestation period for Animarius, there's a chance these eggs may hatch soon, of course, like I said, my knowledge of this is limited, and this is a estimate." Lisa said, placing a stethoscope on the eggs. That took Sakira by surprise. "Yeah, Lisa here is the smartest of the Loud siblings, despite being only five years old!" AkaRed said. "Guilty as charged." Lisa said. She then heard heartbeats from both of the eggs through the stethoscope. "Ah, yes, that's what you want to hear." Lisa said, handing the part that goes in the ear to Sakira who then placed it in the spots on her head that act as ears, smiling and crying after hearing the heartbeats.
"Are you okay, Sakira?" Elaine asked. "I'm fine, don't worry." Sakira assured. "I hear you, the anticipation of a baby arriving is something only a fellow mother can understand." Amanda said. "Thank you!" Sakira said. "Just be glad this wasn't brought upon by a demon named Gremlock, unlike some friends we have in our world." Lisa said. "Who's this Gremlock that you've spoken about?" Sakira asked in confusion.
Enough Time To Explain The Potion Incident And What Happened On Vega And In Japan Later...
"And as we discovered, it was all caused by a Pecadiablo named Gremlock, who sabotaged the male equivalent potion Nyansipo made and hypnotized the others." Lisa explained. Needless to say, Sakira, Amanda, Walter, and Elaine were horrified and appalled at what Gremlock had done. "Believe me, based on what the Alebrije have told us, the rest of the Pecadiablos aren't any better, sans Panopticon and Alraunellie." Lisa said. "Of course, Lujuria is considered just as bad as Gremlock, if not worse, since she's his master!" She added. "She even once tried to place Casey and Jalissa under a spell that would result in the same thing happening to them." Lisa added. "With an added bomb placed in the abandoned apartment building that they were trapped in that was rigged to explode the moment they finished, well, you know!" She added. "Fortunately, using the ShishiRed form and the incredible luck that comes with it, I was able to simultaneously disarm the bomb and break the spell on those two early before they could get far enough!" AkaRed said. "Yep, pretty crazy." Lisa said as the eggs moved a little. "Huh?" She asked.
Outside...
Due to Seth having Emizel's scythe in his hands, the heroes and their allies were already getting exhausted and tired from fighting the ever-reassembling Skeleton Army. "Soon, you will regret ever having even heard of the great and mighty Set!" Set declared. "Too late, punk!" Aurachnid said. "Grrr! When I get my scythe back from you, I'll be having your head!" Emizel angrily declared. "You'll have to pry it from my cold dead hands, kid!" Set said. "That's enough, Set!" Nephthys declared as everyone looked up to see the multitude of Egyptian Gods and Goddesses that have arrived. "What the What?!" Lincoln asked in shock. "You, catch!" Nekhbet said, tossing the item she had been carrying to Lincoln. "What is this?" Lincoln after he caught the item, which was revealed to be in the shape of a Behdety (the Winged Sun of Thebes, described as a Solar Disc with large stretched-out falcon wings with two Uraeus cobra heads set away from each other in front of each wing while connected to said Solar Disc as well as having a pair of Shen rings worn around the necks of the two Uraeus cobra heads) with a pair of Egyptian-styled eyes (resembling the Eye of Horus and Eye of Ra) in the middle of the Solar Disc, an Ankh, which had the Duat (five-pointed star inside of a circle, symbol of the Underworld) set inside of its loop, the hooked head of the Was Sceptre on the top of the loop facing forwards, two stylized upraised arms attached to each of the side bars, and the Djed pillar for its base, in the upper part of the Solar Disc right above those eyes, two Feathers of Truth (symbol of Ma'at) on each of the upper corners of the Solar Disc, and a small cartoonish mouth, which had the Nebu (Egyptian Symbol for 'Gold') underneath it that's acting as a sort of goatee beard, at the near bottom of the Solar Disc right underneath those eyes. Plus, attached underneath the Solar Disc was an upturned silver Crescent Moon and, attached beneath that, the large golden paddle-shaped head of the Sekhem scepter that's engraved with hieroglyphs of the Winged Scarab Beetle, the Sensen (Lotus symbol), the Tree of Life symbol, the crossed Egyptian Crook-and-Flail symbol, the Tyet (Knot of Isis), the Amenta (representing the land of the dead), the Ajet (an Egyptian hieroglyph representing the sunrise and the horizon) with two spotted lions set back-to-back away from each other, the Sistrum (an ancient Egyptian instrument), the Nsw-Bity (Reed and Bee), the Menat (keyhole-shaped symbol of Hathor), the Obelisk, and the four Canopic Jars with the heads of a Man, a Baboon, a Jackal, and a Falcon (representing the Four Sons of Horus the Younger) across it. "Greetings, LL!" The winged sun spoke, in a voice similar to that of the talking sword Caliburn from the video game "Sonic & the Black Knight", causing Lincoln to get startled.
"I am Nebehdety." The Winged Sun said. "Uh, Hi!" Lincoln said. "The Gods created me to aid you in this fight and any other you may face." Nebehdety explained. That took Lincoln by surprise. "Well, who am I to look a gift horse in the mouth." Lincoln said, placing Nebehdety over his driver, which summoned the screen, causing numbers to automatically dial.
1-5-2-5, Pharoah!
(Cue "OVERLAP (Self-Reboot) 2019 ver." by Kimeru, an updated version of the fifth opening theme song to the original Japanese version of "Yu-Gi-Oh! Duel Monsters"!)
That caused Lincoln to get surrounded by a huge golden ring, engraved with hieroglyphic images of the various different Egyptian Gods and Goddesses, that ascended upwards as he was covered by a bright golden light, causing his form to convert into a bright blue-green, gold, carnelian, turquoise-colored form consisting of a scaled chestplate, an Usekh collar, a pair of shoulder plates, a pair of armored wrist bracelets, a pair of armbands, an Egyptian kilt, a pair of lily-patterned leg armor, a golden jetpack with long Egyptian-styled Falcon Wings, and a new turquoise-eyed helmet that resembled his usual helmet mixed with the Nemes head-cloth combined with the Khepresh (Blue Crown) and the Pschent (Double Crown), complete with the Uraeus Cobra head and Vulture head decorating his forehead. Afterwards, the golden ring dispersed into many pieces of light that transformed into various different kinds of animals (specifically a Peregrine Falcon, Ram, Cobra, House Cat (possibly an Egyptian Mau), Scorpion, Golden Jackal, Nile Crocodile, Hippopotamus, Lion, Longhorned Cattle, African Wolf, Ibis, Kite (as in the bird of prey, not a paper kite), Scarab Beetle, Baboon, Frog, Vulture, Hawk, Lobed Argiope Spider, African Butter Catfish, Tilapia, Tesem, Saluki, Jewel Beetle, Centipede, Cheetah, Heron, Egyptian Goose (which is, ironically enough, actually related to Shelducks), Ostrich, Fly, Gazelle, Caracal, Hare, Pelican, Egyptian Mongoose, Leopard, Owl, Crow, Hedgehog, African Elephant, Horse, Dove, Honeybee, Eel, Gecko, Dragonfly, Tiger Butterfly, Lapwing, Praying Mantis, Earthworm, Mouse, Jerboa, Crested Porcupine, Click Beetle, Freshwater Elephantfish, Swallow, Egyptian Pig, Syrian Brown Bear, Dromedary Camel, Sand Boa, Oryx, Nile Carp, Horned Viper, Giraffe, Shrew, Genet, Otter, Cowrie (a type of Sea Snail), Belemnite (extinct cephalopod), Serval, Egyptian Tomb Bat, Fennec Fox, Spinner Dolphin, Ibex, Barbary Stag (an actual species of African Deer), Striped Hyena, African Striped Weasel, Hoopoe, Honey Badger, Common Kestrel, Long-Legged Buzzard, Ruddy Shelduck, Marabou Stork, Egyptian Fayoumi Rooster, Whooper Swan, Black Rhinoceros, Hummingbird, Greater Bittern, Sta (Egyptian Mythical creature, described as having the head and neck of an asp and a body that resembled that of a large cat like creature, possibly a lion), Axex, Sak, Androsphinx, Hieracosphinx, and Criosphinx) that merged with his form and decorated various places of his body armor with the Hieroglyphic images of said animals. (Secondary Super Form, It Was Hallucigenia77's Idea)
"Okay, this is cool." Lincoln said. Sakura was rather shocked at that. "N-N-N-NANI?!" Sakura asked in shock. "Something wrong?" Armon asked. "The driver that Lincoln-kun is using is also my family's heirloom!" Sakura said. "It was first used by my ancestor Hoseki Ryu, who along with the Nature Fairy Naturia, fought the Animarius Empire when they first came to our world's version of Earth." She added. "After the Empire was sealed away, the driver was passed down through the generations! In fact, my Onii-chan Kenta was supposed to be the one to use it when the day that the Empire was freed happened! Unfortunately, due to Cerberion, that never happened!" Sakura said. Sakura whimpered at that. "And don't get me started on the fact that he killed my Ototo and Imoto before they could even be born!" She muttered. "Then, why were you panicking at Lincoln's new form?" Rath asked. "It's because there weren't supposed to be any additional forms besides the ones he has and the currently locked Ultimate Champion form, nor was there supposed to be anything designed to be added to the driver! Seriously, the last time that someone gave him a device that attached to his driver, which was during the time when Lincoln entered an alternate version of our own Earth that has a group of superheroes known Super Thunder, consisting a alternate version of himself, his family, Clyde-kun, Ronnie Anne-chan, Lori-chan's friend Carol, that device was self-destructed after using sixteen different powers from those superheroes!" Sakura explained.
"Long story, don't ask." They both said. "It doesn't matter! A costume change won't help you!" Set declared, charging, only for the images depicting an Axex, Sak, Sta, Androsphinx, Hieracosphinx, and Criosphinx on Lincoln's armor to start flashing before constructs resembling said animals appeared and pounced on Set. "Woah!" Lincoln said impressed. "Each image is an animal you can summon in battle!" Nebhedety explained. "Really? Interesting!" Lincoln said. Before summoning constructs of the other animals and siccing them on Set's cohorts! "A Squid and a Snail?! EW! Gross! Get them off!" Ahti complained as the constructs of the Belemnite and Cowrie clung onto her. "Actually, that snail is actually a type of Sea Snail called a Cowrie, which is popular amongst Egyptian women due to their discarded shells being used as jewelry pieces!" Aya said. "As for the squid, I don't think that's a squid at all! I think it might actually be a Belemnite, an extinct cephalopod best known for its fossilized remains, which would be its conical internal shell, which are seen representing lightning bolts and are, for some obvious reasons, also considered a symbol of Min, the Egyptian God of Fertility and Harvest!" Lunastura said.
"Either way, they're annoying!" Ahti complained. "A Centipede and a Spider?! Grrr! Sepa and my sister Neith must have been behind this!" Ba-Pef complained as he was attacked by the Centipede and Lobed Argiope Spider. "Wait, there's actually a Spider Goddess in Egypt?" Aurachnid asked in surprise. "That would be Neith, in addition to being a goddess of spiders, she is also the goddess of creation, wisdom, weaving, and war." Rath explained. "Plus, at least in Egyptian legends, Neith was said to have created the first spider! Of course, she does have another animal associated with her, and that would be the Click Beetle!" Lucy said. "Named after it's ability to snap or 'click' a spine like structure between the segments of their thorax as a way to startle predators or flip over when stuck on their back." Lunastura explained.
"As you can see over there!" She added as the Click Beetle construct went and constantly body tackled Ba-Pef while jumping. "Serves you right, you no-good brother of mine!" Neith said. "Shut up!" Ba-Pef said angrily. "I'll show you why I'm the evil god of Misfortune!" He declared as he spat out a dark cloud that hit Lincoln. "Ha! Looks like you're out of-" Lincoln said before scratching all over. "Ha! Looks like you're out of-" Lincoln said before scratching all over. "Why am I itchy all of a sudden?" He asked as a swarm of fleas, lice, and ticks arrived and attacked Lincoln. "What do you think of that, human? I've cursed you with bad luck in the form of fleas, lice, ticks, and locusts!" Ba-Pef said. "Locusts?" Lincoln said as a swarm of said insects arrived. The locust swarm than encircled Lincoln and attacked him, causing him to get disoriented. "And the only things that can break the spell are myself and the magic of a leprechaun, but there's no way I'm breaking the spell, and I don't see any mini guys around here!" Ba-Pef said when all of a sudden, the locusts, fleas, lice, and ticks were blown off in a burst of energy, making Ba-Pef turn to see Ciannan touching Lincoln's shoulder. "Part Leprechaun." Ciannan said, pointing to himself.
"Thanks, Cianán! I needed that!" Lincoln said. "No problem, now let's see how he likes being unlucky." Ciannan said, summoning an energy horseshoe which branded itself on Ba-Pef before flipping upside down. "You know what they say about horseshoes..." Ciannan said before the insects, or arachnids in the case of the ticks, that were previously swarming Lincoln now swarmed Ba-Pef. "...they're only lucky when right side up." Ciannan finished. "Nice one!" Lincoln said before focusing his attention on Set who was struggling against the constructs. "Out of my way, you stupid canines!" Set angrily as he used Emizel's scythe to cut down the Golden Jackal, African Wolf, Saluki, Tesem, and Fennec Fox constructs. Which then returned to Lincoln's armor. "What can you do specifically?" Lincoln asked Nebehdety. "Well, other than being an upgrade device for your belt buckle, I also have two weapon forms, specifically a sword and a Longbow!" Nebehdety answered. "Let's try the sword!" Lincoln said. "Excellent choice!" Nebehdety said as he detached himself from the driver and then extended the Sekhem scepter head downwards to reveal a handle before he then moved his long falcon-like wings upwards and closed them together to form a huge double-edged sword that, Lincoln caught, Nebehdety, now in the form of a sword, his hands.
Pharoah Blade!
Lincoln then extended the wings on his back and flew straight towards Set, attacking him with his sword, making the God let go of Emizel's scythe, which the Junior Grim Reaper caught in his hands. "Thanks, Lincoln! Now, then, let's continue, shall we?" Emizel said while glaring at the Skeleton Army. "We'll join in! Babi and I provide a similar role to Ammit when she's too full to eat any evil souls!" Am-heh said as he and Babi eagerly joined up with Emizel. The remaining skeletons knew they were done for, made evident by the fact that they all dropped their weapons and started running around in terror, screaming like little girls! "Let's get them, and then leave a few souls for Ammit to feed on once she's found!" Babi declared as he, Am-heh, and Emizel charged towards the panicking skeletons. Set groaned in frustration upon seeing the Skeletons. "It's so difficult to find good lackeys these days!" He complained as Lincoln aimed the Pharoah Blade at Set's throat. "Surrender, Set, you're outnumbered, outgunned, and your lackeys aren't any help it looks like." Lincoln said.
"Like I said before, Never!" Set declared as he then shot Lincoln at the stomach with a chaos energy beam from his staff, causing Lincoln to get sent flying. "Lincoln-kun!" Sakura said in fright as Lincoln was sent sailing all the way through the Eastern Gate. And right in the middle of the battle between King Draco, his group, Scarab, and the B-Fighters. "Did someone get the plate on that truck?" He asked groggily. "Who's that?" Blue Beet asked in confusion. "LL!" King Draco recognized in anger as Lincoln managed to regain his composure, only to cringe when he saw his enemies. "Great, I'm out of there, but now I'm out here with you freaks!" He complained. "Hey! Who are you calling freaks?!" Solarium asked angrily. "If the shoe fits!" B-Fighter Kabuto said. Just then, Lincoln took a look at one of the Zodiarts, specifically Custos Messium. And his eyes shrunk upon recognizing his motif. "H-h-h-h-" He started stuttering. "LL, what's wrong?" Nebehdety asked in confusion.
"HARVESTOR!" Lincoln said in fright, making King Draco's group and the B-Fighters fall over in shock. "Harvestor? What's that supposed to mean?" Kuwagar asked in confusion. "I once saw a horror movie about a killer farmer, and it traumatized me so bad, I can't hear the word Harvestor or see anything resembling the title character without freaking out!" Lincoln admitted. "Oh, I get it now, you're afraid of me, aren't you, kid?" Custos Messium asked with a wicked grin while brandishing his sickle. "AHHHHHHHH! THE HARVESTOR! STAY AWAY! STAY AWAY! STAY AWAY!" Lincoln yelled as he started running in sheer terror while Custos Messium started chasing him with his sickle. "You can't escape from me, Custos Messium, powered by the Harvest Keeper constellation, that easily kid!" Custos Messium said as he used his staff to trip Lincoln before he then struck him at the stomach with his sickle. "AGHHH! HE'S GOT ME!" Lincoln said in fright and pain as he fell over and clutched his stomach in pain as Custos Messium loomed over him threateningly. "Man, if I knew you were this easy to take care of, I would have dealt with you earlier! Oh, well, better to do so now than later!" Custos Messium said as he raised his sickle upwards, preparing to strike Lincoln again. "Hey, leave him alone!" B-Fighter Kabuto called as he prepared the Kabuto Lancer for a finisher. "Cavalier Lancer!" He called, striking Custos Messium with his finish weapon, causing the Zodiarts to explode, allowing his switch to fall to the ground before Lincoln picked it up and deactivated it with a shudder.
"Thanks for that." Lincoln said as the human that was the Custos Messium Zodiarts got up. "Damn it!" He said, reaching into his jacket and pulling out his syringe before jamming it into his chest. That caused him to yell in agony as he then disintegrated into star dust. "D-did he just?" Kuwagar asked. "Foundation X, super strict with their secrets." Lincoln said. "Eh, no big loss." Akuji said, stomping on the used syringe, shattering it to pieces before lasers hit the villains as King Pyramidder in carrier formation flew in before the other Kamen Riders, Lucharangers, Ohrangers, Mummies, Apep and his followers, and defected Animarius, sans Sakira arrived to Lincoln. "Sorry it took so long, but don't worry, shortly after you were sent here, the other Egyptian Gods were able to capture Set's goons, they won't be bothering us for quite some time." Clyde said as Set and Arakh arrived with a growl. "Although we do still have to deal with those two." Sakura said. "Actually, they've missed one goon!" Denwen said as he came out of the Eastern Gate, breathing fire from his mouth like a dragon.
"Uh Oh!" Presley said upon seeing this. "You're not getting away that easily!" Horus the Younger said as he, Khnum, Wadjet, Bastet, and Serqet came out of the Eastern Gate. Presley flinched upon seeing Bastet, remembering what happened last time he encountered her. "Not her again!" Presley said. "Don't worry, Presley, it turns out Bastet, as well as a bunch of our other previous enemies, were brainwashed by Set here." Nefertina said, noticing Presley's demeanor. "That's Set?! But he looks completely different from the last time we saw him!" Presley said in confusion. "That's because, it turns out that dog-like form of his wasn't actually his true form! As for why he took on that form in the first place, it's mainly to prevent any of the gods and goddesses that he corrupted from recognizing him, which would automatically undo his spell, and also because of he wanted to keep up with appearances in the modern era, due to nobody in this age knowing what a Sha is!" Rath said, to which Presley shrugged at that. "Doesn't matter, Arakh, my old friend, so good to see you again!" Scarab said, approaching Ja-Kal's evil brother.
"Likewise." Arakh said. "Though I would prefer if my traitorous son isn't involved in this!" He said bitterly while pointing at Kimas. Scarab growled at this. "Kimas? You're here too?" Presley asked in confusion. "Yes, but do not worry, oh prince, I am on your side." Kimas assured, bowing. "It's true, ever since he sacrificed himself to defeat Arakh, Kimas has been training with the Scorpion Goddess Serqet for the day when he becomes the official fifth guardian!" Armon vouched. "Well that's good to know!" Presley said. "Also, is this Apep I'm seeing here?" Presley asked upon noticing Apep and his four followers. "A lot went down in that realm." Rath said. "Thankfully, Apep and his friends here decided to help us!" Ja-Kal said. "Thank goodness." Presley muttered. Just then, Ryu had noticed Stephano, still in his Kamen Rider Weather form, amongst King Draco's group and was utterly baffled.
"Like the new look, Accel?" Stephano asked, twirling around. "Masaka! Stephano?! But, How?! I've shattered your Weather Memory last time we fought! And why do you have a driver that looks like a heavily-modified version of mine?!" Ryu asked in anger and confusion. "I was able to rebuild the memory, then with the help of Drako's goons, I am now able to transform into Kamen Rider Weather!" Stephano explained. "As for why my Weather Driver resembles your Accel Driver, albeit with some extra physical modifications, it's mostly to mock you!" He added before laughing, much to Ryu's anger. "Well, well, well. Look who we have here." King Draco said, noticing the four traitors. "*Gulp!*" The four gulped in fright. King Draco then noticed something. "Where's Sakira?" He asked. "Somewhere you'll never get to!" Axcelsior said. "If I had to take a guess, I'd say she's inside that thing!" Moroha said, pointing to King Pyrammider. King Draco growled at that. Just then, Vulpecula and Anser suddenly teleported away from the group and then teleported back just as quickly, carrying the wrapped mummified body of Prince Rapses in their hands, along with Sakira, who's tied up by a rope.
"Sakira!" Axcelsior said in fright. "Hey, Draco, look what else we found!" Anser said as Vulpecula spat the eggs out of his mouth onto the ground. "OUR EGGS!" Axcelsior and Sakira shouted in fright. King Draco started chuckling maliciously. "What have we here?" King Draco asked. Back at the Animarius Empire Castle, General Aquilis, Tytus, Ospreyus, Falkyrie, Vulturion, Butcherbeak, and Emudash were watching from the monitor in their hideout and saw the reveal of Axcelsior and Sakira's eggs. Which made Aquilis tear up as she remembered finding Tytus' egg. "Mother?" Tytus asked in concern. "Hey, Drako, here's a suggestion, why don't you execute both these traitors, take the eggs, and as they grow, train them into your own personal warriors!" Futaba suggested. That made the bird Animarius, including Ibiscus, who was still with the Strike Team, gasp in shock and appall. King Draco smirked before pulling out the Shi No Gutai Ka. "An excellent suggestion, Futaba!" He said with an evil smirk.
However, before King Draco could do anything, he felt a literal sharp pain in his back as everyone saw a very outraged Ibiscus literally stabbing the Dragon Animarius with his beak. "What the?" King Draco asked as Aquilis smirked. "If it's one thing that I can't stand, it's having innocent eggs becoming orphans!" Ibiscus angrily declared. "You dare betray us?! Aquilis will have your head if I don't first!" King Draco said angrily. "Oh contraire." Aquilis muttered as the Axex and Sak constructs reappeared and pounced on King Draco, knocking him away from the Eggs. "Everyone, grab the Eggs before he gets back up!" Lincoln called out. "We got them!" Yui and Subaru said as they dashed over, grabbing both eggs, only for Vulpecula and Anser to glare at them. "If you know what's good for you, little kids, hand those eggs over this instant!" Vulpecula demanded as Yui's fox ears and tail popped out and she started growling.
"Oh, did you seriously just growl?" Vulpecula asked before grabbing Yui by the tail and lifting her, causing Yui to desperately keep her skirt down. "While I am surprised about this, you're nothing but a puny little ki-" Vulpecula taunted before Carl sucker punched him while Adelaide did the same to Anser. "Keep your stinking paws off of my girlfriend!" Carl angrily shouted. "And don't even think about touching my man or those eggs!" Adelaide said equally angry. Vulpecula and Anser got back to their senses and then got angry. "MaxLucha Power!" Carl and Adelaide called, entering their secondary forms noticing this. Then, they both charged. However, Vulpecula and Anser were quick enough to teleport themselves out of the way and then reappear quickly to attack Carl and Adelaide from behind. "Three can play at that game, punks!" Adelaide said as she started teleporting and attacking Anser while Carl entered Supernova mode and started attacking Vulpecula faster than either of them could respond.
"Yeah! Go get him, Carl-kun!" Yui shouted out. "Show her what's for, Adelaide-chan, and wait, didn't he say that ends after 30 seconds, leaving him unable to move for 2 minutes?" Subaru said. Yui cringed. "Good point, we'd better get these to safety." Yui said. "I'll help you." Extradimensional Supplier Kabuto said as he escorted them and Sakira to safety. "Wait, where is that mummy that you two had earlier?" Adelaide asked upon realizing that Prince Rapses's mummy is missing. "Looking for something, little girl?" Scarab asked as he had the mummy over his shoulder. Everyone gasped at that. "If you want it, come and get it! Ahmut!" Scarab said as the eater of souls charged. "Spirit Purify!" Aya called, bathing Ahmut in the same amber light.
That caused Ammut to howl in pain as Crocodile/Lion/Hippo hybrid started to lose the lion mane and gain leopard-like spots on the feline upper body while the rest of the body became somewhat slimmer. Finally, after magically gaining a tri-colored nemes cloth on the head, the hybrid creature groaned in a surprisingly feminine voice. "Oh, my aching reptilian brain!" The hybrid complained in a woman's voice. *Groan* "What happened? All I remember is Set showing me this strange crystal!" Ahmut complained. "Long story short, Set infused that crystal with his chaos magic and then used it on you to corrupt you to not only behaving like a dog, but change your gender from female to male!" Aya explained. "And you later became his pet." She added, pointing to Scarab. That really made the three-way hybrid rather shocked. "Ammut, what are you doing? Get them!" Scarab ordered, making the hybrid turn around angrily. "First of all, you are not my master! And secondly, my name is pronounced Ammit!" Ammit angrily stated. "And third of all..." Ammit said before growling and pouncing on Set.
"NOBODY MAKES A DOG OUT OF ME!" She angrily yelled before she then bit Set in the right arm, causing the chaos god yell in agony as he then let go of the Eternalite energy crystal. Which Clyde grabbed with a string of webbing. "What do we do with this thing now?" Aurachnid asked in confusion. "First, let's purge this thing of the chaos magic that Set infused it with! After that, we'll keep it to make sure that it doesn't fall into the wrong hands!" Aya said. "Spirit Purify!" Aya called. However, when she used her ability on the crystal, nothing happened, causing Set to laugh. "Foolish girl! That trick worked on the gods and goddesses that I've corrupted, but not on pure chaos magic!" Set said wickedly. "Only a mix of chaos and order magic can break what I have on it!" He said, which gave Jaxondor an idea. "Shintomaru, do you think your Aurora Curtains will work now?" Jaxondor asked.
"I don't know, let me try!" Shintomaru said. Before successfully opening a curtain. "Perfect, Tanugatanta!" Jaxondor called, causing said Alebrije to come over. "Conjure an illusion of Pristioparaven and Thalassphygris." Jaxondor instructed. "I don't know why, but okay!" Tanugatanta said as he conjured up illusions of two different Alebrijes. The first one was a Scarlet-colored female Alebrije that had the body, legs, and ears of an African Leopard, the head, dorsal fin, and tail of a Japanese Sawshark, and the wings and shaggy throat hackles (neck feathers) of a Common Raven as well as having Sawshark fins on her Leopard legs while the second one was a Cobalt-colored male Alebrije that had the body, legs and ears of a Siberian Tiger, the head, dorsal fin, and tail of a Great Hammerhead Shark, and the wings and crest of a Thalassodromeus (a species of Pterosaur) as well as having Hammerhead Shark fins on his Tiger legs.
"Good, we need a way to find these two." Jaxondor said. "Who are they, exactly?" Bobby asked in confusion. "Pristioparaven, Alebrije of Chaos, and Talassphygris, Alebrije of Order." Jaxondor explained. "Despite being of opposite elements, these two are lovers whose shared duty is to maintain stability being beings of Chaos and Order, just so that they don't go to war between each other and cause harm to innocent bystanders in the process!" She added. "Based on what Set just said, they might be able to break the spell he has on the crystal." Jaxondor explained. "I'll have some candroids search for them." Edge said, pulling out various candroids and sending them through the Aurora Curtain. "So, in the meantime, what should we do?" Clyde asked. "Don't let Set get that crystal!" Nefertina said. "You're going have to get past us first!" Arakh said before he and Denwen came to Set's aid. Denwen then breathed flames at the heroes. To which they jumped out of the way.
"Somebody ought to put out that fire serpent's flames!" Casey said. "Yeah! Does this Denwen have any weaknesses?" Jalissa asked. "Well, regarding Denwen, as described in the Pyramid Texts, he was an evil Egyptian fire serpent deity, known from the times of the Old Kingdom! The Egyptians shunned him because he posed a threat to all deities, especially since he possessed power over fire and he could generate a fiery conflagration so powerful that it would destroy even the gods and goddesses! attempted this feat, but he failed to slaughter the deities, because the spirit of the deceased pharaoh, doesn't say which one, thwarted his attack!" Lucy said. "How exactly did this deceased Pharaoh defeat Denwen?" Trisaurus asked. "Unfortunately, the records didn't say anything specific about that event, so I'm afraid even I don't know!" Lucy said. "Dang it!" Casey said.
"Oh yeah? Well, then, let's see how this fire serpent likes a drink of water!" Ronnie Anne said as she used her storm powers to spray a stream of water at Denwen. However, the moment the water hit Denwen, it evaporated into water vapor, making Denwen laugh. "It's gonna take more than a single stream of water to put out my flames!" Denwen boasted. Ronnie Anne growled at that. "Well, then, how about some ice, then?" Sakura said as she loaded the sacred Sapphire into her driver.
Sapphire!
Switching to Ocean mode, Sakura fired a beam of ice at Denwen. Surprisingly, it proved far more effective on Denwen, as it not only extinguished the flames on his body, but it also froze him solid in ice. "COLD! C-C-C-COLD!" Denwen complained while frozen. "That ice won't hold him forever!" Sakura said. "Let's toss him back into that gate!" Aurachnid suggested. "I've got a better idea!" Cianán said as he brought out a stone jar. "W-w-w-what are you going to do with that, you l-l-little punk?!" Denwen asked. "To seal you away, so that you don't cause harm ever again!" Cianán said as he opened the jar. "Demhain be Sealaithe!" Ciannan declared as the magic of the jar activated and started sucking Denwen in. "S-S-S-Sealed Away?! Now, T-T-T-hat's Real C-C-C-Cold!" Denwen shouted as he was completely sealed into the jar before Cianán closed the lid back on. "Nice thinking, Ciannan-kun!" Sakura said. "A good Demon Hunter never leaves home without the proper equipment. I also have some for Set, his cronies, and Arakh!" Ciannan said, pulling out more jars.
"Yeah, Ahti, Apesh, and Ba-Pef have already been captured by the other gods and goddesses, so we don't need to use those jars for them!" Wadjet said. "Well those two are still fair game!" Ciannan said, eyeing Set and Arakh. "I don't think so!" Arakh declared as he then charged towards Cianán and struck the jars with his claw and stinger, destroying them, much to Cianán's chagrin. "Dude, those are not easy to make!" He complained before striking Arakh on his chest, leaving behind an upside down horseshoe mark. "What's that for?!" Arakh asked in confusion. Before a bolt of lightning struck him out of nowhere, zapping him and destroying his Scorpion amulet. "No! My Scorpion Charm! You've destroyed it!" Arakh said in horror. "Now we're even!" Ciannan said as Arakh's armor dispelled before Ciannan pulled out a spare jar. "Demhain be Sealaithe!" Ciannan called, starting to suck Arakh in.
"No! This can't be the end for me!" Arakh shouted as he got completely sucked into the jar, right before Cianán closed the lid on it. "As long as this lid stays on this jar and it remains intact, he won't be bothering anybody." Ciannan told Ja-Kal and Kimas. "In fact, it'd probably be best if any jars we use stay with the Egyptian Gods, don't want to risk anything." He noted. "Good point, these are jars we definitely don't want to risk the Pecadiablos getting their hands on." Ronnie Anne said. "We don't know who these Pecadiablos that you speak of are, but that's actually a wise choice to leave the jars with us!" Bastet said. "Of course, even though he's a mummy, Arakh is still technically an evil human soul, and, therefore, needs to be let out once we get him back to our realm, so that he would be properly judged for his crimes and have his heart eaten by Ammit!" Khnum said. Arakh could be heard groaning from within the jar at that.
"Is there another option?" He asked. "Well..." Emizel said, taking the jar. "If you prefer, I could take you down to Hades where you could be put to trial, the worst thing that could happen to you there is being transformed into a bat-winged, peg-legged, sardine eating, exploding if you're not careful, ending every sentence you speak with the word 'dood' penguin-like creature called a Prinny and being forced into servitude under one of our overlords." He suggested. Needless to say, Arakh did not like the sound of that, especially the part of being forced into servitude. "I don't know! I don't think that Ammit would like that, especially since she must have not fed on any wicked souls in a very long time!" Serqet said. "Tell you what, if you let us have him, we'll let you take him!" Osiris, having just exited out of the Eastern Gate alongside Isis, Horus the Elder, Hathor, Nephthys, Neith, Thoth, Nekhbet, Bes, Beset, Upuaut, Khenti-Amentiu, Nehebkau, Nuhn, Naunet, Tawaret, Hekau, Babi, and Am-heh, the latter two gods having their bellies full from devouring most of the souls of the skeleton army, offered, pointing to Scarab. "His immortality spell only has a couple hours left, anyway." He said. "Well, since, you're offering, okay! Also, here's a huge bagful of evil souls that I've collected from those skeletons, at least the ones that Babi and Am-heh haven't eaten! I've Ammit would appreciate that!" Emizel said as he handed not only the jars containing Denwen and Arakh, but also a huge burlap bag filled with leftover evil souls of the skeleton army that Babi and Am-heh have missed.
"This should more than make up for it." Osiris said. "Only a couple of hours left? Scarab did you hear that?" Heka asked Scarab as one of his fingers fell off his hand and crumbled to dust. "*Gasp!* You're right! We have to act fast! Futaba, get the boy for me!" Scarab called out to Futaba. "Fine." Futaba said with a roll of his eyes, grabbing Presley. "Do us a favor and keep them busy, would you Moroha?" Futaba asked his fellow Shadow Angel. "With pleasure!" Moroha said as he took a battle-ready stance with all four of his arms. He then charged towards the heroes and attacked them with such speed and ferocity that they had no time to counterattack. Knocking them all to the ground. "Okay, I am seriously hating this guy!" Ciannan complained. "Tell me about it!" Nefertina complained. "Trust me, the feeling's mutual!" Moroha said.
Meanwhile...
Edge, Azalee, and Aden were up against Jackalus, Basilosplash, and Arsinohorn. Edge was in his Sagouzo form to fight Basilosplash and Arsinohorn while Azalee and Aden were using their alchemy powers to fight Jackalus. "Man, I'd never thought I'd fight against Animarius based on a Basilosaurus and an Arsinoitherium here in Egypt!" Edge said as he literally fought head-to-head against Arsinohorn. "Well, the Basilosaurus, which, despite it's name meaning 'King Lizard', is actually a prehistoric toothed whale, and the Arsinoitherium, an Mammal named after the female Pharaoh Arsinoe I that, despite looking like a laterally double-horned rhino, is actually an extinct relative of Elephants, Hyraxes, and Sirenians, are both extinct animals whose fossils are found in Egypt, so it's more appropriate than you think!" Azalee said as she and Aden double-teamed against Jackalus. "Either way, these three are big pains in our necks!" Aden complained, summoning the Ouroblade's familiar.
However, Jackalus grabbed the familiar and then bit it down hard with his teeth, causing the familiar to explode in a puff of smoke. "Hah! Don't you know that Jackals can actually eat snakes?" Jackalus said boastfully. "Dang it! Any ideas, Ouros?" Aden asked. "There is a way! See that Alchemy Circle within my upper loop? The Alchemic symbols on it can give you access to seven different forms based on the Four Classical Elements of Fire, Water, Earth, and Air and the Tria Prima, meaning Three Primes, consisting of Quicksilver a.k.a. Mercury, Sulphur, and Salt, simply by touching one of them and then spinning the circle!" Ouros said. "Nice!" Aden said, pressing one of the symbols. Specifically, it was the Alchemic symbol for Fire. Summoning a fiery version of the Ouroblade's familiar. Jackalus tried to touch the fiery snake, but he ended up burning his hands upon contact. "YEEEEEEEOWCH!" Jackalus yelled in pain. This made Azalee laugh.
"Now, Aden, spin the circle and shout 'Pyro On!' to activate the new form!" Ouros said. "Right! Pyro On!" Aden called, doing as Ouros instructed. That caused the fiery snake to circle around Aden and then ascend up to the sky to let out a hiss before descending down onto him and turning into flames that engulfed him and merged with his armor to decorate it with reddish-orange fire-shaped armor pieces and decals. "Congratulations, Aden! You now have accessed the Pyro Mode!" Ouros said. "Alright, let's see what I can do here!" Aden said, gripping the Ouroblade as it's blade engulfed in fire before Jackalus was surrounded by fire on all sides. "Flaming Ouroboros Break!" Aden called. He then charged forwards and struck down Jackalus with the flaming blade. "THIS REALLY BURNS!" Jackalus yelled in agony before he exploded and reverted into a Soul Core with the image of a Golden Jackal on it. "Nice! My turn!" Edge said, running the O Scanner over his driver.
Scanning Charge!
Jumping up and slamming his feet into the ground, Edge manipulated the gravity in a way that bound Basilosplash and Arsinohorn together into the sandy ground. "Hey! Let us go!" Arsinohorn complained. "Yeah! I prefer the ocean, not sand!" Basilosplash complained. "Too bad!" Edge said as the sand that encased the two Animarius moved toward him, right before he shouted "SEIYA!" and delivered a powerful double handed punch and headbutt at the same time, causing Basilosplash and Arsinohorn to yell in agony before they exploded and reverted into two Soul Cores with the images of a Basilosaurus and an Arsinoitherium on them. Moroha seemed intrigued by the warriors that currently oppose him. "Kamen Riders, huh?" He asked intrigued.
Meanwhile...
Ryu and Clyde were facing off against Stephano and Shibogumon, respectively. "Don't think what happened twice before will happen again, Accel! I've adapted my new powers to suit a new battle style that you won't stand a chance against!" Stephano declared. Weather Attack! Scorching Sun!
That's when his sun-shaped right shoulder pauldron started glowing while intense Solar energy gathered into his right fist to form into a solar energy sphere, right before Stephano charged towards Ryu and landed a solar-powered punch onto his face, sending the veteran rider flying over a distance. "Oh, I'm not done yet!" Stephano said as he twisted the left handle on his driver twice.
Weather Attack! Heavy Rain!
That's when the Rain Cloud symbol on his right leg armor started glowing, allowing Stephano to summon a large cloud into the sky that poured down a heavy rain shower right on top of Ryu, drowning him in water. "Is that all you've got?!" Ryu asked angrily. "Nope, but thanks for asking!" Stephano said as he twisted the left handle on his driver three times.
Weather Attack! Severe Lightning!
That's when the Thundercloud symbol on his left leg armor started glowing as his left foot was covered with electricity, right before he stomped the ground with said foot and caused lightning bolts to rain down from the sky and strike at Ryu, causing him to yell in pain while he was electrocuted, which was made worse due to him being wet from the rain attack earlier. "Here's another one!" Stephano said as he twisted the handle on his driver four times.
Weather Attack! Blistering Tornado!
That's when his Tornado-shaped left shoulder pauldron started glowing while a strong swirl of wind gathered in his left fist, right before he thrusted said fist forwards and unleashed a large tornado, which quickly turned into a sandstorm due to the sandy desert environment, that sucked Ryu up into the air and spun him around helplessly. "One more!" Stephano said as he twisted the left handle on his driver five times.
Weather Attack! Freezing Snow!
That's when the Snowflake symbol on Stephano's chestplate started glowing as snow and cold icy winds gathered around his body, right before Stephano jumped up, gathered the snow and icy winds into a sphere with his hands, and then threw it at the still airborne Ryu, causing Ryu to become frozen inside of a huge block of ice after the sphere hit him." Holy Brutality!" Aurachnid exclaimed in shock. Stephano started cackling like the twisted little boy he is before Shotaro and Phillip came in striking him with the Prism Bicker's sword. "How dare you interrupt me?!" Stephano asked angrily. "We're just giving the real Ryu a head start!" Phillip said as the frozen Ryu disappeared in a flash of light before the real Ryu jumped up behind W and struck Stephano with a laser sword. "WHAT THE?!" Stephano asked. "Shortly after Shintomaru sent us the Laser Memory, we discovered that one of the powers it gives us is the ability to create clones." Shotaro explained.
Then, a flashback started as W, already in CycloneJoker mode, was holding the Laser Memory and getting ready to test it out. "Here goes nothing." Shotaro said, clicking the button.
Laser!
He then removed the Cyclone Memory before putting the Laser Memory in its place.
Laser! Joker!
As that happened, W's right halfbody changed from green to cyan to match with the new Gaia Memory. As well as arming himself with the same Laser Sword Ryu used, which had a prominent cartoonish face on the front of the hilt resembling Sonic the Hedgehog's Cyan Laser form from "Sonic Colors". "Okay, so in addition to giving you a laser sword, what other advantages does this thing have?" Ryu asked. "I don't know! Let's find out!" Shotaro said. "Eventually we discovered this feature during a spar against Ryu." Phillip said as said spar went on. That's when the cyan side of W's body started glowing before multiple copies of W started appearing. "Woah!" They said. "You're like a laser printer!" Haruna said. "That's sort of an accurate comparison!" Philip noted. "I never thought I'd get to test it out on you of all people." Ryu said as he and W prepared their finishers.
Laser! Maximum Drive!
Prism!
Cyclone! Maximum Drive!
Moon! Maximum Drive!
Trigger! Maximum Drive!
Joker! Maximum Drive!
"Three can play at that game, you know what they say, imitation is the sincerest form of flattery!" Stephano said, mirroring their movements before twisting the left handle on his driver six times in a row.
Weather! Maximum Drive!
Then, while Ryu got covered in cyan laser energy, Stephano summoned five Japanese Dragon constructs (one made of solar flares, one made of water, one made of electricity, one made of swirling tornado winds, and one made of snow and ice) that surrounded him before he jumped upwards with the five dragons following him and giving him their elemental powers to his right foot. Afterwards, as he descended down for a Rider Kick, Stephano announced "Weather Dragon Devastation!" as he thrusted his right foot forwards with the five elemental dragons surrounded it. "Laser Charge Kick!" Ryu announced as he charged upwards towards Stephano in a burst of laser energy that released a few small, transparent, cyan cubes in its slipstream. "Bicker Finalusion!" Philip and Shotaro announced as W delivered a powerful laser blast from the Prism Bicker that gave a boost to Ryu. The two rider kicks collided.
Surprisingly, despite getting a boost from W's finisher, Ryu was very evenly matched against Stephano. So much so that both riders were sent crashing down into the ground, skipping a few times, and landing with their armor dispelling. "Ooh! That's going to leave a mark!" Aurachnid said upon witnessing that. "This isn't over." Stephano said, getting up and opening a portal back to the Animarius Castle while Adelaide performed the Healing Moon on Ryu. "Are you okay, Ryu?" She asked. "I'm fine, thanks to you!" Ryu replied. "Although my pride as a Kamen Rider is a little bruised after that!" He complained. "At least it was only a draw, who knows how far Stephano would have gone if he came out on top from that clash." Shotaro pointed out. That made Ryu shudder at that. "Fair point." He said.
Meanwhile...
Gentarou, Ryusei, Casey, Jalissa, Becky, Dodge, Ricky, Bobby, Par, and Makros were up against the rest of the remaining Zodiarts. "You humans don't stand a chance against us!" Manis declared, curling up in a ball and charging, only for Casey to coat his hand in metal and punch the Pangolin Zodiarts. That caused Manis to be sent rolling back and then crash into Camelopardalis, knocking the Giraffe Zodiarts down like a really tall bowling pin. Which then caused the entire strike team to fall over in a domino effect I type with a chuckle, eventually crashing into Futaba who forcibly let Presley go, allowing Ja-Kal to catch him. "Are you okay Presley?" Ja-Kal asked. "I think so!" Presley said. "I think not!" Lumbricus declared as he burrowed his way underneath the sand and then grabbed Presley with his stretchy Earthworm-like arms before he dug his way towards Scarab. "I don't think so!" Ryusei said, triggering his finisher.
Limit Break!
"Meteor Storm Punisher!" Ryusei called, firing the Storm Switch down the hole Lumbricus was trying to escape down. "YEOWCH!" Lumbricus yelled in pain as he was rocketed out of his own tunnel by the explosive impact of the Storm Switch top. Before being forced back into his human form as Ryusei deactivated his switch. Then, as Presley was caught by Nefertina, Ryusei caught Lumbricus, now in human form, and then grabbed a syringe from the man's pocket before dropping it on the ground and shattering it to pieces with his foot, preventing Lumbricus from using it. "Not this time!" Ryusei said. "This is just not my day!" Lumbricus said in defeat. "You still have the rest of us to deal with!" Solarium said as he, along with the others, got back up before the Sundial Zodiarts projected a shadow from the crest on his head that he manipulated to form a whip to attack Fourze with.
Thinking quickly, Gentarou pressed the Launcher and Radar Icons on his suit, summoning said modules. He then launched the missiles at them, though while they managed to hit Solarium and Camelopardalis and knock them down, the missiles simply bounced harmlessly off of Scarabaeus and Manis's armor like they were nothing while Vulpecula and Felis used their claws to cut them down and destroy them while Anser blew them away with a gust from her wings. After that happened, Felis started attacking Jalissa with her claws. "You're going down, busty girl!" Felis said, much to Jalissa's confusion. "Seriously?! You're attacking me simply because my chest is bigger than yours?!" Jalissa asked. "No, not just that! It's also because you're so well-endowed despite being a lot younger than me and that makes me extremely jealous! Seriously, it's feels unnatural to me!" Felis said as she continued slashing at Jalissa. "Wow, sounds like someone's a late bloomer." Jalissa joked. "Well, excuse me for being a C-Cup!" Felis retorted as she took another swipe, aiming for Jalissa's chest, though, thankfully, Jalissa was able to dodge that. "Be very careful, Jalissa! I just read from the Felis Zodiarts's aura that her real name is Koneko Chikafuji, who, before joining Foundation X, was a serial killer who targets well-endowed females, including preteens, teenagers, and adults, and then kills them before *SHUDDER!* cutting their breasts off, all because she was constantly rejected by every guy she falls in love with in favor of more well-endowed females!" Aya warned, much to Jalissa's fright.
"*GASP!* You... Wouldn't... Dare!" Jalissa said in fright and disgust while covering her chest with her arms. "Oh, I would!" Felis said. "This girl makes Envy and Lust look sane!" Conerrapingo said in fright. Even the rest of the female heroes, most of which having already taken the Beauty Enhancement Potion, shuddered in fright while covering their own chests. "That, we can all agree on, Coney-chan!" Sakura said in fright. "Well allow me to make sure this lunatic never harms another innocent girl again!" Gentarou said, triggering his finisher.
Limit Break!
A portal opened up behind Felis as Gentarou rushed to follow her into space. "Hey! What am I doing out here in space?!" Felis asked in confusion as she was floating above the Earth's atmosphere. Gentarou then prepared his sword which blared warning sirens. "Uh oh." Felis said.
Limit Break!
"Rider Cho Ginga Finish!" Gentarou declared. He then covered the Barizun Sword in cosmic energy before delivering a powerful slashing maneuver right at Felis. Causing her to explode, allowing Gentarou to catch and deactivate her switch before both returned to Earth. At that moment, Felis's true form was revealed to be a young Japanese woman with long black unkempt disheveled hair and a C-Cup chest who was wearing the typical white business shirt of Foundation X with matching skirt and high heels. "Damnit!" The woman exclaimed. "Say, you're right, Aya-chan! That is Chikafuji Koneko a.k.a. the Breast Cutter! She's been on Japan's Most Wanted List for quite some time, but no one has ever caught her!" Ryu said as he pulled out a Wanted poster with the picture of the woman, now identified as Koneko Chikafuji, on it. "And you all will never will!" Koneko declared as she took out the suicide syringe and pierced it onto her left leg. Unfortunately for her, nothing happened, as she wasn't being disintegrated into stardust like she was supposed to. "Huh? Nani? Why am I not dead right now?" Koneko asked in confusion before inspecting her syringe to find out in horror that there was nothing inside of it. "Shimata! I took an empty one by mistake!" Koneko said in realization, right before Ryu went and tackled her from behind and then restrained her with some handcuffs.
"Hey, Shintomaru! Do me a favor, open up an Aurora Curtain so I can take this cat to the pound!" Ryu said to Shintomaru. "You got it, Ryu!" Shintomaru said as he opened an Aurora Curtain that lead directly to the Futo Police Department building. "Hey, you got anything on this guy?" Ryusei asked, holding Lumbricus up. Specifically, Lumbricus's true human form was a Japanese man in his late 20's who had shaggy and spikey brown hair and wearing a somewhat wrinkly and messy version of the male Foundation X business suit. "Oh, let me check!" Aya said as she read Lumbricus's aura. "Oh! This guy's name is actually Mimizu Hijiya, who was once a member of a bank robber gang, specializing in digging getaway tunnels and hacking security systems through use of computer worms, but managed to avoid capture when the rest of said gang got caught and arrested by the Tokyo Metropolitan Police Department a few years ago!" Aya said.
"Two wanted criminals in one day, not bad." Ryu said, leading the two through the Aurora Curtain. "And consider yourself lucky you didn't try to go after my daughter, if you had, I wouldn't be as lenient as I am right now!" He told Koneko. "Why would I go after your daughter?" Koneko asked in confusion. "It's because, after I gave her a beauty enhancement potion, which is a magic potion recipe passed down through my family through the generations, she's now a D-Cup at age 10!" Aya said, much to Koneko's shock and outrage. "NANI?!" Koneko asked angrily. "And fortunately, for the sake of both my wife and myself, you'll never get the chance to see them!" Ryu said. He then entered the Futo PD building, where Mikio Jinno, Shun Makura, Yukihiro Ohno were already inside. "I believe you'll find these two very interesting." Ryu said, slapping the wanted posters on the desk.
"*Gasp!* You've caught not only the missing member of that robber gang that was arrested a few years ago, but also the infamous Breast Cutter herself?! That woman has been wanted for mass murder of well-endowed women and mutilation of their corpses!" Mikio asked in shock before glaring at Koneko herself. "Had some help, but yes." Ryu said. "Also, these two were allied with Foundation X, having been recruited as part of their army of next generation Zodiarts!" He added. "And from what friends have told me, they've been using syringes like this one to commit suicide upon being defeated rather than being captured." Ryu said, handing the syringe Koneko tried to use. "This one was empty unfortunately, but oh, looks like some of the stuff got on his jacket from when yours was shattered." Ryu said, pointing to a spot on Hijiya's jacket. "Huh? What the heck?!" Mimizu Hijiya asked before Ryu pulled the man's jacket off of him.
"I believe the forensic scientists should be able to help identify what this substance is made out of!" Ryu said as he presented the stained jacket to the policemen. "I'll get it to them." Mikio said.
Back with the others...
"Let's see how you deal with us!" Scarabaeus said as he and Manis charged towards Bobby and Par. However, Bobby used his immense strength to stop the two Zodiarts in their tracks before picking them up. "How is somebody as scrawny as you be that physically strong?!" Scarabaeus asked in confusion. "My Alebrije partner's element is strength." Bobby explained. "Could have given you big muscles along with those powers, though!" Manis joked. Bobby responded by bashing the two Zodiarts together. That caused the two Zodiarts to get knocked silly as stars can be seen spinning around their heads. It also caused Scarabaeus's exoskeleton and Manis's scale-like armor to get cracked all over. "Step aside, you guys!" Becky said as she, Dodge, and Ricky held the already armed Wild Bazooka. "We'll handle these two!" She said.
"Okay, if you say so!" Par said as he and Bobby got out of the way. As they did so, Manis and Scarabeus got up, only to stare down the barrel of a loaded bazooka. "Bye bye!" Becky said, pulling the trigger. As soon as they were hit, Scarabaeus and Manis exploded and reverted back to their human forms. Allowing Bobby and Par to catch their switches. "So, what do we do with these things?" Par asked. "Just press them and then toss them away!" Gentarou said. Shrugging, Par and Bobby did as instructed as Manis and Scarabeus got up before pulling out their syringes and jabbing them in their chests. That caused them both yell in pain as they then disintegrated into stardust. "Eh, no big loss." Cameleopardalis said. He then stretched out his long head and knocked down Becky, Dodge, and Ricky with his head like a real male giraffe would do. "Well that's annoying." Dodge said, getting up. "Why is there even a Giraffe Constellation in the first place?" Becky asked. "It was first recorded in 1624 by Jakob Bartsch, but was most likely created in 1613 by Petrus Planicus." Lisa said over the comm link.
"Of course, the name Camelopardalis refers to the fact that the giraffe had a long like a camel, even though said neck is actually longer than a camel's, and a body covered in spots like a leopard, though the giraffe's spots are quite different from a leopard's rosette spots! Fun fact about Camelopardalis, part of the constellation, specifically the tail area, was hived off to form the constellation Sciurus Volans, the Flying Squirrel constellation, by William Croswell in 1810! However this was not taken up by later cartographers and was quickly rendered an obsolete constellation!" She added. "At least there isn't a Flying Squirrel Zodiarts here." Ricky said. "Actually, while he's definitely not here, there is a Zodiarts based on Sciurus Volans, who's also partners with a Zodiarts based on a different kind of Volans, specifically Piscis Volans, the Flying Fish constellation!" Camelopardalis said. "Well we look forward to meeting them!" Becky said sarcastically.
"Not!" Dodge added. "Well, you still got to deal with us for now!" Vulpecula declared as he and Anser went and punched Becky and Dodge and their chests, causing the two girls to fall onto their knees and then clutch their chests while gasping in pain. "Not cool!" Ricky said, throwing punches at the two Zodiarts. However, Vulpecula and Anser managed to dodge those punches while Camelopardalis went and kicked Ricky right at the crotch, causing Ricky to fall onto his knees and cover his crotch in pain. "Why do they always go there?!" Ricky winced. Camelopardalis laughed at Ricky's misery. Right before Casey coated his foot in metal and delivered a low blow of his own to Camelopardalis. "OOOH! MY NARDS!" Camelopardalis said in pain. "Not so funny when it's you getting hurt like that, huh?" Casey asked. "That's not fair, your foot was metal!" Camelopardalis pointed out.
"Yeah, well, my right arm is made of pure gold!" Armon said as he came charging in and punched Camelopardalis in the face. "Nice one, Armon!" Casey said as Vulpecula and Anser helped Camelopardalis to his feet. "Hey, Zodiarts!" Goro called as everyone turned to see him and the other core Ohrangers holding the Big Bang Buster and aiming it at the Zodiarts. "Eat this!" Goro called, pulling the trigger and firing an energy blast that took out all the remaining Zodiarts. That caused all three Zodiarts to revert back to their human forms. Before their switches were deactivated. "Damn it." Camelopardalis said before he, Vulpecula, and Anser thrusted their syringes in. They then yelled in pain as they were disintegrated into stardust.
Meanwhile...
Sameer, Nikki, Laird, Aquene, Master Toadus, Gorf, Andros, Phixia, Gracilus, Bufoam, Ibiscus, and the B-Fighters were up against Toxobra, Scaraboulder, Mormyron, Thalassodreg, Deltadrome, Carcharodontos, and Deltoad! "Let's see you heroes handle this!" Scaraboulder said, holding up a large brown ball and tossing it at the heroes. Luckily for the heroes, they were quick enough to dodge it. Unfortunately for the villains, Lola wasn't so lucky. "Lola, look out!" Nikki called out, to which Lola looked around in confusion before the large brown ball hit and splattered all over her *SPLAT!*. With a twitching eye, Lola asked scarily camly "What...is...this?" "Considering the fact that that is clearly a beetle of the super family Scarabaeoidea, which includes the Dung Beetle, I'd have to say, it's poop." Lisa said as Lana examined it closely. "Camel most likely." She said. "Yep, definitely Camel! I can tell by the smell alone!" Lana said after taking a whiff. "Where did you even get Camel poop from?" Toxobra asked Scaraboulder in confusion. "I've collected some along the way here in the desert, thought it would come in handy!" Scaraboulder admitted.
"Uh, is it just me, or does that little girl look angry?" Deltoad asked as Lola started turning red with anger before calming down. "Excuse me, may I please borrow that?" Lola asked Tentou, pointing to the Tentou Spear. "Uh sure?" Tentou said as Lola took the weapon. "Thank you." Before unleashing an unearthly yell, chasing after Scaraboulder, striking him with the spear repeatedly. "OW, OW, OW! QUIT DOING THAT, YOU LITTLE PEST!" Scaraboulder said in pain and anger before he slapped the spear away from Lola and then threw an even bigger ball of Camel poop at her *SPLAT!*. Unfortunately for Scaraboulder, that only made Lola far more angrier than usual. "*UNEARTHLY YELL!* LOLA MAD!" Lola yelled furiously as she burst her way out of the ball of Camel poop with her skin bright red and her hair becoming yellow flames. "Dude, I'm afraid you've just made things worse!" Mormyron, the Freshwater Elephantfish Animarius, said as Lola charged towards the Animarius soldiers with a primal yell. "LOLA MAD!" Lola shouted as she knocked away Mormyron. "LOLA SMASH!" She added as she punched down Deltoad. "GET REVENGE ON FILTHY BUG!" Lola angrily declared while glaring at Scaraboulder. "Okay, that little girl is scarier than anything we've ever faced!" Blue Beet said, the other B-Fighters nodding feverishly in agreement.
Lola then went and furiously punched Scaraboulder rapidly punched Scaraboulder multiple times in a row, "Dragonball Z" style, making the Scarab Beetle too helpless to counter her as Lola then knocked him down to the ground and finally jumped up and shouted "LOLA SMAAAAAAASH!" before descending down and shattered Scaraboulder's Soul Core with a single hard punch. "Oh Crap!" Was all Scaraboulder could say before he finally exploded and reverted into a Soul Core with the image of a male Scarab Beetle rolling a ball of dung on it. "How can something so small hold so much anger?!" Momo asked in horror. "Something we've been wondering her and Lana's entire lives." Lisa said. "Uh, excuse me?" Deltoad said. "I was wondering if...I could PLEASE join your side?!" Deltoad begged, getting down on his knees. "ME TOO, PLEASE!" Toxobra begged.
That took everyone by surprise. "We'll do anything, cook, clean, we just don't want to be on the side opposing that thing!" Deltoad said, pointing to Lola, Toxobra nodding feverously in agreement. "Wow, looks like Lola-chan's anger is working in our favor, in more ways than one!" Sakura noted. "Hey, can we join too?" Mormyron asked as he, Thalassodreg, Deltadrome, and Carcharodontos begged as well. "Whoa! Didn't see that one coming!" Sameer said. "Eh, I don't see why not." Toadus shrugged. "Oh, the other generals are not going to be happy to hear this!" Butcherbeak said. "I wonder if they're watching everything in the throne room already!" Falkyrie wondered.
Speaking Of...
Tyrannis, Leo, Terriblis, Ophiucus, Goliathus, and even Megalonis were utterly outraged at what they've just saw, both about Lola actually managing to destroy Scaraboulder with her bare hands, and about Deltoad, Toxobra, Mormyron, Thalassodreg, Deltadrome, and Carcharodontos defecting of fear of that freakishly strong seven-year-old pageant princess. "Why those little!" Tyrannus said angrily. "We feel your pain." Johannes said. "I can't believe that one of the soldiers from my own mighty Fish Army have defected just like that! This Is An Outrage!" Megalonis said in outrage. "First my children, now this?!" Leo asked in anger. "We have to do sssssomething about thisssss!" Ophiucus angrily declared. "Yeah! But, how?" Megalonis asked. "They're most likely going to want to ssssstay in either Toadussss and Gorf'ssssss hideout, wherever Mambana and Axolota are, or the cave Brachiossssss hasssss been hiding out in, but we have no idea where either location issssss." Ophiucus pointed out.
Meanwhile...
Lincoln was battling the group that first arrived to King Draco's castle. "Say, weren't there supposed to be six of you guys?" Lincoln asked upon realizing that neither Kranokola nor Elisserios were to be found. "Elisseiros turned traitor so he had to be eliminated, and Kranokola...say, where is she? Last we heard, she had volunteered for some mission!" Akhexus noted. "Oh, that, well, the mission was that she be turned into a giant and then team up with the Cherubim Soldier to destroy that big golden flying pyramid over there! Unfortunately, not only did that pyramid turn into a gigantic robot, but nether Kranokola nor the Cherubim Soldier could damage it, so they both ended up getting destroyed by the robot's huge laser blast! Fortunately, King Draco managed to retrieve Kranokola's Soul Core, figuring it be a waste for a loyal member of his Royal Guard with a reputation for being the One Sting Killer to be sealed away that soon!" Shibogumon said. "Yes, in fact." King Draco said, pulling out a fruit from the tree of life he had for some reason before placing said Soul Core into it.
That caused the fruit to swell up and burst to reveal Kranokola, fully revived. "Thank you, your majesty." Kranokola said. "Show me your gratitude and those traitors how you got your nickname!" King Draco said, pointing to the traitors. "You got it your majesty!" Kranokola said, flying towards them, only to be blasted back into a soul core by the Ohrangers wielding the Chouriki Bazooka. "Not this time!" Goro said, much to King Draco's chagrin. "Damnit! And that was the only fruit from the Tree of Life that I had brought with me!" King Draco complained. "Don't worry, your Majesty, I'll get her Soul Core!" Shibogumon said as he webbed Kranokola's Soul Core and dragged it over to himself before storing it away in a compartment within his robotic body. "Got it!" Shibogumon said. "*Sigh!* Looks like I have to come up with a different plan to use Kranokola for another day! In meantime, Shibogumon, have Kranokola's Soul Core brought back to the castle, but don't revive her until I say otherwise!" King Draco ordered. "Yes, your majesty." Shibogumon said, opening a portal and retreating back to the castle. "Now to deal with the rest of you!" Lincoln said, summoning his screen.
*-#, Final Attack!
That caused all of the animal constructs to be summoned from the Hieroglyphic images on his armor while his body glowed in a golden light. At the same time, Nebehdety converted into his Longbow Mode by positioning his wings at an angle and then have a magical energy bowstring appear between the wings while the Sekhem scepter head opened up to reveal a set of small gun barrels filled with energy arrows. After that, Lincoln caught Nebehdety in Longbow Mode and pointed him at the four Animarius. "Rider Pharoah Burst!" Lincoln said as he and all the constructs fired energy beams at the group. Shaos and Serpoparda shielded themselves and Akhexus with an energy barrier made of Chaos magic while Apshaita, unfortunately, wasn't so lucky as she was hit full on! Before exploding and reverting to a Soul Core with an image of an Apshait (a mythical beetle resembling a Carrion Beetle with red stripe-like markings on the head, thorax, and elytron a.k.a. Beetle forewings) on it.
Lincoln then picked it up. "One down, three to go!" He said, sealing the Soul Core. "Darn It! Apshaita is down!" Akhexus complained. Suddenly, some Candroids appeared with two Alebrije. "Whoa! Looks like we've missed out on a lot of things!" The Scarlet Alebrije, known as Pristioparaven, said. "A little, but you're just in time!" Jaxondor said. "Jaxondor? Is that you? You look different!" The Cobalt Alebrije, known as Thalassphygris, asked in surprise. "It's a long story, for now though, we need you guys to break the bonds of Chaos magic on this crystal." Jaxondor then came over and presented the two Alebrijes with said crystal. "Easy as pie!" Thalassphygris said. He and Pristioparaven then fired energy blasts of their respective colors that hit the Eternalite energy crystal, causing the chaos magic that Set put in it to be purged from it. "No!" Set said in annoyance upon seeing that. "Demhain be sealbaithe!" Ciannan said while Set was distracted, starting to suck him in.
"Oh, No! I'm not going to be trapped like everyone else!" Set declared as he then fired an energy blast that not only shattered the jar to smithereens, but also sent Cianán flying back towards a large rock from the impact. "Seriously?! What part of not easy to make don't you people-" Ciannan said before the ground started shaking. "Now, what's going on?!" Lincoln asked. "Yeah! Why is there an earthquake here in Egypt?!" Sakura asked in confusion. Looks of realization hit the mummies faces. "Oh no." They said. "What's wrong?" Clyde asked. "It's Geb!" The Mummies answered. That's when the rock that Cianán crashed into rose up to reveal that it's actually a part of a massive muscular grey-and-brown male humanoid kaiju-sized rock giant with his lower half being terminated into a single huge pilar of rocks instead of legs. "WHO DARES DISTURB THE MIGHTY GEB?!" The rock giant, now identified as Geb, shouted angrily.
"That's Geb?" Aurachnid asked the Mummies. To which they nodded. "Certainly does look the part of being the Egyptian God of the Earth!" Edge noted. "Hello, Mr. Geb, I'm the one who woke you up, I'm terribly sorry, but it wasn't my fault, Set over there knocked me into a piece of you, I guess." Ciannan said. He then pointed at Set, who was rather intimidated by Geb's presence. "So that means...IT'S YOUR FAULT I'M AWAKENED FROM MY NAP!" Geb said angrily, grabbing Set. "Hey, I didn't even know you are here! Just what are you doing in Egypt, anyway?" Set asked in confusion. "Me and my wife Net are on our honeymoon vacation!" Geb answered as the clouds above swirled around to form a kaiju-sized curvaceous legless woman made out of clouds (Net, a.k.a. Nut). "Well how was I supposed to know!?" Set asked. "Excuse me, Mr. Geb, could you hold on to him for a minute? And let go when I say, Demhain be Sealblaithe!" Ciannan said activating the magic on another jar. "Now!" Ciannan said as Geb let Set go, causing the evil God to get sucked in faster than he could react.
"Gotcha now!" Cianán said as he closed the lid on the jar. "Let! Me! OUT OF HERE!" Set yelled angrily from with the jar. "I don't think so! Thank you for your cooperation, and here you go." Ciannan told Geb and Anubis respectively. "Thank you! At least we can be assured that my so-called father won't be causing any more problems for everyone, now that he's sealed away!" Anubis said. "You're welcome! And here are three more jars for Ahti, Apesh, and Ba-Pef, just so that they don't try to escape and cause trouble again!" Cianán as he gave three more empty jars to Isis, Serqet, and Neith. "Much appreciated." Isis said. "By the way, Osiris, here's somebody from the Afterlife Nexus who wants to speak to you and the other Egyptian deities!" Emizel said as he pulled out a device from his pocket that projected a hologram of Domhartz himself. "Domhartz! Good to see you again!" Ouros told his brother. "Likewise, Ouros, Zawon hasn't appeared in that world yet, has he?" Domhartz asked. "Not yet, but we're preparing!" Ouros said. "Good, in the meantime." Domhartz said, turning to the Egyptian Deities.
"Greetings! I'm Domhartz, creator of the Afterlife Nexus and leading member of the Afterlife Council! I have realized that the realm of the Egyptian Deities have already been connected to the Afterlife Nexus via a portal, but I never bothered to invite one of you as a member of the Afterlife Council, mostly because I was having some trouble with deciding which one of you could be invited to become part of the Afterlife Council!" Domhartz introduced himself. "Of course, after some consideration I've managed to get my choices down to two Egyptian Gods, either Osiris, since he rules over the Egyptian Underworld, or Ra, since he's considered the ruler over the rest of the Egyptian Deities!" He added. "I'm Osiris! It's nice to meet you!" Osiris said. "Likewise! Say, where is Ra, if I ask?" Domhartz asked. Just then, a large flying Egyptian boat, with Ra riding at the front while Khepri, Shai, Sia, and Hu are moving the oars from the rear and Mehen was coiling his body around the boat itself. Not only that, but there were two large flying Tilapia fish, one colored gold (named Abtu) and the other colored red (named Anet), guarding the sides of the front of the prow of the flying boat. "Oh! There's Ra right now!" Domhartz said. "You asked for me?" Ra said. "Yes, I have!" Domhartz said.
"I have a proposition for you and Osiris, I lead what is known as the Afterlife Council, in which I am offering one of you a position." Domhartz explained. "On a plus side, if a member is unable to physically attend a meeting for whatever reason, they can always use a holographic device to communicate with the rest of the Council! It worked well with fellow Council member Lord Death, since he literally cannot leave the boundaries of his hometown, known as Death City, due to him actually binding his own soul to the entire city!" He added. "Interesting." Ra said. "Though, even with these holographic devices that you speak of, I'm quite busy most of the time, having to ride my Solar Barque here in order to carry the sun across the sky, represented by the Solar Disc on my staff, to light the day, not to mention that I have Apophis to constantly deal with, since he always tries to swallow me whole in order to bring darkness to the world, in some cases he temporarily succeeded, only for the other gods to help free me by cutting open his stomach! So, I'm afraid I'm going to have to pass on that offer!" Ra said regretfully. "What about you, Osiris?" Domhartz asked.
"I spend most of my time ruling over both the Duat, which is the Egyptian Underworld, and the Aaru, better known as the Field of Reeds, which is considered a heavenly paradise for the virtuous deceased, so I think I can accept your offer!" Osiris said. "Excellent, I shall prepare a chair and hologram for you." Domhartz said, hanging up. "Uh, guys, has anyone seen Scarab anywhere?" Lincoln asked in realization. "He's over there!" Kimas said as everyone saw Presley and Rapses body strapped to tables with Scarab laughing maniacally. "Finally! Immortality will now be mine!" Scarab said. "What?! But, how?! I thought we already rescued Presley!" Armon asked in confusion. "That would be my doing!" Akuji said. "I hate you!" Nefertina said. "Too bad, if you want to get him back..." Akuji said. "You'll have to go through us!" Shaos said as he and Serpoparda appeared. "So be it, Mecha Pollon!" Lincoln called.
From within King Pyramidder, Mecha-Pollon heard the call. Before barking and flying over to Lincoln. "What in the world is that thing?" Serpoparda asked in confusion. "Some sort of robot dog with wings?" Akhexus asked. "A Robot dog with wings that can do this! Trinity Buster!" Lincoln called. At once, Mecha-Pollon jumped up and transformed into his Trinity Buster mode. "Uh oh!" Shaos and Serpoparda said, erecting the barriers from before. "That won't save you this time!" Pristioparaven said as she and Thalassphygris infused a little bit of their power into the Trinity Buster. "This should be enough to break through those shields." Thalassphygris said. "Only one way to find out! Chaotic order Sealing Blast!" Lincoln called, pulling the trigger. That caused the Trinity Buster to fire out it's usual energy beams, combined with the Scarlet Chaos power of Pristioparaven and the Cobalt Order power of Thalassphygris, straight at Shaos and Serpoparda. Breaking both their barriers and obliterating them.
That caused both Shaos and Serpoparda to return to their Soul Core forms. Which Lincoln then sealed. "That only leaves you!" Lincoln told Akhexus. "You're too late heroes!" Scarab said. As he said that Scarab projected a magical energy beam that struck Prince Rapses's mummy, which then let out an energy beam that hit Presley, causing the spirit to Prince Rapses himself to be beam out of Presley's body, pass through the mummy, and then enter Scarab's body. That caused Scarab to not only rejuvenate to the point of his skin turning from chalk white to tan, but also regenerate his missing finger. "Yes, yes, yes!" Scarab said, only to start reverting back almost immediately! "WHAT?! NO!" Scarab said. "Sorry, Scarab, but not this time, or ever again!" Rapses' voice called. That's when Scarab started feeling pain, as if somebody was literally fighting within his body. "Prince Rapses?! That's impossible! You're supposed to be completely absorbed into my body! You shouldn't even be having free reign with me! How can this be?!" Scarab asked in pain and confusion. "The spell only works when both parties involved are the same age, Scarab, but because young Presley recently turned 13, and you killed me when I was 12 in age, it's useless!" Rapses explained.
That took everyone by surprise, including Presley himself, who was surprisingly still alive. "Today's my birthday?! Aw, man! I totally forgot about it!" Presley realized. "Wait, I'm confused, why is Presley still alive while Prince Rapses's spirit is inside of Scarab's body? Shouldn't he be Prince Rapses's full-on reincarnation?" Aurachnid asked. Aya then took a look at Presley's aura before doing the same with the spirit of Prince Rapses. "Oh, this is quite different from the usual kind of reincarnation! Apparently, what Prince Rapses went through is a sort of possession-type rebirth, having been reborn in Presley's body and dwelling within him while Presley himself keeps his own soul and stays in control of his own body, though he would have occasional access to Prince Rapses's memories when needed! In other words, Presley wad basically in a 'two souls in one body' kind of scenario!" Aya realized. "NO! This can't be!" Scarab said, starting to age rapidly. "Oh it is, Scarab, and now to help Rapses get a little peace!" Aya said, firing an amber beam at the evil sorceror.
That caused Scarab to scream in agony as Prince Rapses's spirit was freed from his body and reentered Presley's body. "Hey, is this bad timing? We just finished that robot you ordered!" Cicadeath said over the comm link. "*Groan!* I'm dying out here! Bring this robot to my location immediately!" Scarab ordered. "And aim the enlargement ray at Akhexus!" King Draco ordered. "At once, your Majesty!" Cicadeath and Flygor replied. Before sending something through the Dimension Gate. That something looks like a giant dark purple-and-black-colored robotic Scarab Beetle. "We call it the Scarab-tron!" Cicadeath said before Flygor fired the Enlargement Ray through the portal. That caused a beam to hit Akhexus and make him grow to Kaiju proportions. "Alright, let's get this party started! Scarab-Tron, Transform!" Scarab said, taking the controls of the Scarab-tron, allowing it to transform into a more Humanoid form based off of Scarab's armored form. "Get the Dark Vectors ready!" King Draco ordered Stephano, Akuji, and Shibogumon. "Yes, your majesty!" The three Dark Riders said. "We're going to need to pull out the heavy artillery, prepare King Pyramidder and the Blocker Robos!" Goro said. "Ryokai!" The other Ohrangers said. "Fortunately for our side, I have completed a new toy that I think will prove very useful." Lisa said, handing Ja-Kal a new miniaturized Vector.
It resembled the SCV-70 White Base from the original "Mobile Suit Gundam" anime, albeit colored mostly gold with bright blue-green, carnelian, turquoise-colored markings as well as having it's wings shaped like Egyptian-styled Falcon Wings, having a mechanical Lion-like tail at the rear hull, having feline/Lion-like front paws at the front of its two main hangars, and having a metallic head like that of the Great Sphinx of Giza (which not only has the Uraeus Cobra head on its forehead, but also a falcon's head, a ram's head, a cat's head, and a whole scorpion surrounding said cobra head from left, bottom, right, and top sides respectively) where the Bridge/cockpit should be. "What is that?" Kimas asked. "I call it, Vector Pharoah!" Lisa explained. "I created for not only you five Mummies to pilot, though I did some last-minute adjustments to include you and your scorpion motif, Kimas, but also for Presley to pilot it, since he'll be safer within it!" She added. "Plus when combined with Aquarion LL, it will create Aquarion Pharoah, which should be more than enough to give these punks a piece of our minds!" Lisa explained.
"Very interesting!" Rath said. "Lisa, you are a genius." Lincoln said. "Tell us something we don't know, dear brother." Lisa said. "Let's get going." Lincoln said. "Vectors, launch!" Lincoln, Sakura, and Clyde called, releasing their Vectors, which Ja-Kal did the same. "Vector, launch!" Ja-Kal said as Vector Pharoah flew off before enlarging and beaming the five mummies and Presley onboard. Inside of the cockpit of Vector Pharaoh, there are six seats, five of them resembling the usual seats found in the other Vectors while one in the center of the five looks more like an Egyptian Pharaoh's throne. The Mummies each took one of the outer chairs while Presley took the one in the middle. "Okay, this is cool." He said. "Awaiting your orders, Presley!" Ja-Kal said. "Right, let's do this!" Presley said as Vector Pharoah quickly flew up, joining Aquarion LL, OhBlocker, LuchaPrime, and King Pyramidder in Battle Formation. "Alright, how do we do this?" Presley asked. "There's a button on your left that reads 'Gattai', press it!" Lisa instructed.
"Gattai? What does that word mean, exactly?" Presley asked in confusion. "It's a Japanese word that means 'Combine'." Sakura said. "Okay." Presley said, pressing the button. "Okay, then, I think it should go like this! Egyptian Gattai! Go, Aquarion!" Presley announced. "Oh, and fair warning, Ja-Kal-san and the others already experienced this, but since you and Kimas-kun haven't, I should warn you that when Aquarion is formed, everyone inside a Vector gets this really intense feeling." Sakura explained. "What?" Kimas asked in confusion, but it was too late.
(Cue "Mummies Alive! Theme Song" extended Metal Cover by Chris Allen Hess, featuring Nick X Martin)
That's when Vector Pharaoh went and soared up into the air while Aquarion LL followed behind it. Once that happened, Vector Pharaoh started detaching parts of itself, starting with the back part containing the large Egyptian-styled falcon-like wings, then the twin hanger bays containing the paws, then the tail and rear part containing the long twin tailfins, the rear hull containing the twin main thruster engines (which then split itself vertically into two halves), and then the side parts containing the circular shields, all while the front hull and Sphinx head remained intact. Then, after the pieces of Vector Pharaoh surrounded Aquarion LL and projected a ring of energy around the mecha, everyone felt energy flowing through them. "WHOOOOOA! WHAT'S GOING ON?! WHAT IS THIS ENERGY I'M FEELING RIGHT NOW?!" Presley asked while feeling the energy. "THIS MUST BE THAT REALLY INTENSE FEELING THAT WE WERE WARNED ABOUT!" Kimas realized while feeling the energy. "BELIEVE ME, THIS IS INTENSE FOR US THE FIRST TIME AROUND!" Ja-Kal said while feeling the energy. "YEAH! THIS IS WAY DIFFERENT THAN WHENEVER WE TRANSFORM!" Armon said while he's feeling the energy. "FOR ONCE, I AGREE WITH ARMON! THIS ENERGY ISN'T LIKE ANYTHING KNOWN TO OUR WORLD!" Rath said while feeling the energy. "AIN'T THAT THE TRUTH! I NEVER FELT THIS BLISSFUL IN AGES" Nefertina said as she felt blissful from the energy. "THIS IS DEFINITELY THE MOST UNUSUAL ENERGY THAT I'VE EVER FELT, AND I DON'T EVEN HAVE A NERVOUS SYSTEM!" Nebehdety said while he's feeling the energy. "DON'T WORRY, PRESLEY KIMAS, AND NEBEHDETY! THIS HAPPENS EVERY TIME WE FORM AQUARION, SO JUST GO WITH THE FLOW!" Aurachnid said while feeling the energy. "AURACHNID IS RIGHT! THIS SPIRITUAL ENERGY HELPS US TO NOT ONLY MERGE OUR VECTORS INTO ONE, BUT ALSO MERGE OUR HEARTS, MINDS, BODIES, AND SOULS TOGETHER TO BETTER PILOT AQUARION!" Clyde explained while feeling the energy. "NOT ONLY THAT, BUT THE MERGING SEQUENCE CAN AMPLIFY OUR POWERS AND ALLOW OUR EMOTIONS TO BE SHARED WITH EACH OTHER!" Lincoln said while feeling the energy. "YEAH! IT JUST FEELS THAT GOOD!" Sakura said while feeling blissful from the energy. After that, the pieces started coming together. First, First, Aquarion LL's shoulder blades connected with the pieces of Vector Pharaoh that contained the round shields, having those pieces become new shoulder armor with the round shields facing at the sides. Next, Aquarion LL's hands retracted back into its lower arms before the armor above them folded in front of them, which allowed the twin hangar bays of Vector Pharaoh to slide in and attach themselves to the lower arms before the feline paws at the front ends of said hangar bays twisted around halfway and flipped out claws thumbs, making the paws become clawed hands similar to Nefertina's gloves. Then, Aquarion LL's feet folded downwards, allowing the two halves of the rear hull of Vector Pharaoh to slide in and attach themselves right into Aquarion LL's legs, right before the twin main thruster engines on the sides went and retracted their short jet wings, slid themselves downwards towards the ends, and then twisted themselves forwards to form the feet. Afterwards, the back part of Vector Pharaoh containing the pair of large Egyptian-styled falcon-like wings went and attached itself to the winged jetpack of Aquarion LL, specifically at the back of the cockpit of Vector Jewel, giving the jetpack an extra set of wings. Finally, Aquarion LL's crest folded in before the entire head immediately retracted itself back into its body, all while the front hull of Vector Pharaoh, containing the Sphinx head, moved in front of the Mecha and then flipped out from its bottom a gold-and-turquoise-colored Egyptian loincloth-like metal piece with skirt-like side pieces at the near bottom of it, right before the front hull of Vector Pharaoh slid itself in front of Aquarion LL's chest attached itself to the Mecha while the front part the front hull split itself open vertically to reveal a large golden ankh-shaped piece with a shining red gemstone in the middle of its loop, becoming the chestplate, while the loincloth-like metal piece put itself in front of the Mecha's groin, and the skirt-like side pieces wrapped themselves around the waist. Then, as the Sphinx head of Vector Pharaoh, now becoming the head of the new Aquarion formation, had its eyes glow in a bright turquoise light and flipped out a structure from the top of the head that resembled the Double Crown, the tail and rear part containing the long twin tailfins reconfigured itself into a spear, with the tail straightening out to become the handle while the tailfins folded themselves together into the bladed spearhead, before it was caught by the Mecha's right hand. Afterwards, as the newly formed mecha, which looked like an armored four-winged Pharaoh, did some fighting poses with its spear, Presley and the Mummies announced "AQUARION! PHARAOH!" before the Mecha, now named Aquarion Pharaoh, finished in a dramatic pose. Needless to say, everyone was surprised at the new Aquarion formation. "Okay, that, was crazy." Presley said, catching his breath. "Agreed." Kimas said. "You get used to it." Sakura said. "So, I don't suppose any of you B-Fighters have any giant robots of your own, right?" Aden asked the B-Fighters.
"Sort of." B-Fighter Kabuto said. "G-Stag, Reddle, and I have the Beet Machines Beetluder, Stagger Tank, and Red Gyro, which are basically Beetle-themed vehicles, and the Super Beet Machine Mega Heracles, which is basically a gigantic robotic Hercules Beetle that we can combine our three Beet Machines with to form the Mega Beet Formation, which is not a Humanoid robot, if you must know!" Blue Beet explained. "As for me, Kuwagar, and Tentou, we have updated versions of our sempais' Beet Machines known as the Neo Beet Machines, apply named Kabutron, Kuwaga Tank, and Stealth Gyro! Well, at least until our enemies blew them up along with our Beetle Base! Other than them, we had the Kōjin, meaning Shell Gods, who were these giant insect robot gods from space, named Kabuterios and Kuwaga Titan, that, a very long time ago, fought a great battle and were swept into a vortex that defeated an evil foe! They were eventually encased inside two weapons, the Kōjin Fūinken, meaning Shell God Seal Sword, Astral Saber and the Geist Axe, until they would be found in the present, though while we used the Astral Saber and Kabuterios for good, the Geist Axe and Kuwaga Titan ended in the hands of our enemies for a while, at least until the final battle against Mother Melzard, in the form of Jadow Mothera, when Kuwagar was able to use the Geist Axe and summon Kuwaga Titan so that it would fight alongside Kabuterios to defeat Jadow Mothera once and for all! Of course, after the final battle ended, the Astral Saber and Geist Axe, along with the Kojin and our Voice Commanders, the devices we use to transform, were vanished away by the Will of Light, who's a sentient force which governs life and rebirth in the universe, mostly because the Earth was no longer in danger and we weren't needed anymore!" B-Fighter Kabuto explained. "Yeesh! That's too bad!" Aden said before shaking his head in confusion. "Wait a minute, if your transformation devices had vanished like you said they had, then how did you guys get your powers back?" Aden asked in confusion. "Well, with the evil presence of Genmaku and it's very mysterious leader Guru Fumein becoming an ominous threat to the entire universe, Earth included, the Will of Light decided to give us back our transformation devices in order to join the fight against evil again!" Kuwagar explained.
"By any chance, do you have the sword and axe?" Aden asked as two items fell out of the sky and into the desert sand that the New Generation B-Fighters recognized. "Actually, that's them now." Kuwagar said. B-Fighter Kabuto and Kuwagar then pulled out the Astral Saber and the Geist Axe from the sand. "Kabuterios!" B-Fighter Kabuto shouted as he raised up the Astral Saber, causing it to open up and reveal a robotic Japanese Rhinoceros Beetle hidden inside of a gemstone. "Kuwaga Titan!" Kuwagar announced as he raised up the Geist Axe to reveal a to summon a robotic Stag Beetle hidden within its gemstone. That caused the weapons to summon a giant black-and-gold robotic Japanese Rhinoceros and a black-and-green robotic Stag Beetle. Afterwards, both robotic beetles reconfigured themselves into the humanoid Beetle-themed robots Kabuterios and Kuwaga Titan. "Lucky." Aden lamented, doodling in the sand.
"Let me guess, you want to pilot a giant robot of your own, is that right?" Tentou asked. "Yes." Aden said.
Unbeknownst to him...
"How's the testing for the Ouroliner's battle mode going?" Retsu asked a Galaxy Federal Police Scientist. "So far, so good!" The Scientist replied. "We've got the weapons down, we just need to finalize the combination sequence for the liner's cars." He explained. "Ah, excellent! Keep up the good work!" Retsu said. "Yes sir!" The scientist said.
Back with the others...
"It doesn't matter how many of you there are, you will all f..." Scarab started saying before his tongue fell out and crumbled to dust. "Master, you're not going to last long! You have to do something!" Heka said in genuine worry. Scarab tried to yell at Heka, however without a tongue, all he could say was incoherent gibberish. He then had Ka crawl out of his mouth. After that, he pulled out a scroll for Heka to read. "Wait a minute, this is the Soul Transference Spell, you're not planning on merging your very own soul into this machine, are you?" Heka asked in shock. To which Scarab nodded. "Are you crazy?! That's incredibly dangerous! If the machine falls, so will you! An-" Heka said before Scarab grabbed her. "Wait, what are you?" Heka asked before Scarab tossed her out of the Scarab-tron with a note reading 'I don't need you anymore, you're fired' taped to her face. Afterwards, Heka landed in a sand dune, alive, yet unhappy. "Fine then! I don't need you either!" The snake said angrily.
Aya saw Heka's plight and decided to do something. "What are you thinking, Aya?" Jalissa said upon noticing that. Aya then approached Heka. "Hey there, little snake friend. Scarab gave you the old pink slip, huh?" She asked. "My name is Heka, and yes, Scarab had indeed fired me! That ungrateful sorcerer!" Heka said bitterly. "I've been loyal to him for centuries, and this is how he repays me?!" Heka asked in anger, before starting to cry. "Aw, it's okay, I can tell from your aura that you are a very loyal being, and I think any person would be lucky to have you as a familiar." Aya said. "You really think so? I haven't exactly been a nice snake during my service with Scarab!" Heka said. "You were just obeying your boss' orders, even though you were actively participating in some of his evil schemes willingly, but at least that already makes you a better familiar than my family's old one, from the moment he was made a familiar, he had been secretly plotting to kill his masters!" Aya explained. "What?! Why would he do something as stupid as that?!" Heka asked in shock.
"It's a long story, thankfully, my family has a better, new familiar in Rena here." Aya said. "Hello." Vularena said. "But you know, my cousin's family hasn't had a familiar in quite a while, so I tell you what, if you're willing to repent for everything you did while Scarab's familiar, my cousin and I can put in a good word for you with them, and ask them to make you their familiar." Aya offered. "I've got nowhere to go, in fact, I don't know where to go on my own, I'll admit that, so I'll be willing to do that!" Heka said. "Awesome! I'm Aya, by the way, and this is Vularena, or Rena for short." Aya said. "Pleasure to meet you!" Vularena said. "Likewise, listen Aya, Scarab is about to do something crazy! He's going to cast a spell that will allow him to merge his spirit into the Scarab-tron!" Heka explained. "What?!" Aya asked in shock. Onboard the Scarab-tron, Scarab was doing just as Heka had described. He was chanting with his throat in spite of not having his tongue. As he was finished chanting, his eyes and mouth flashed as his soul exited his body just as it crumbled completely to dust before he absorbed Ka to complete soul and then entered the Scarab-tron!
Scarab then started laughing, as he was doing so, the Scarab-tron's eyes flashed. "Oh no, he's done it!" Heka said. "You may have foiled my original plan, but now thanks to this, I am truly immortal!" Scarab declared. "Let's see how immortal you really are! Skyring, descend!" Ronnie Anne called, summoning the Skyring. "Is that a wrestling ring in the sky?!" B-Fighter Kabuto asked in shock. "We use it to prevent collateral damage, plus it looks cool and matches our Luchador motif." Ronnie Anne explained. However, before anyone could go up there, a rumbling and a hissing noise was heard from the Eastern Gate. "Oh, No! He has followed me here!" Ra realized. "Who followed you?" Aden asked. "Apophis, that's who!" Ra said as a gigantic kaiju-sized 120 yard long serpent, which looked like a cross between a cobra, a horned viper, and a rock python, to emerge head first through the Eastern Gate. "That's one big snake!" Laird said in fright. "Apophis, the chaos serpent, every day he tries to devour Ra whole!" Lucy said over the comm link. "*Gulp!* And what exactly happens if Apophis does devour Ra?" Laird asked in fright. "The world would be plunged into darkness and chaos would reign." Lucy explained.
That made Laird turn pale in fright. "You don't suppose he's willing to put all that aside and help us, do you?" Laird asked hopefully. However, Apophis went and smacked away the sacred fishes Aptu and Anet away from the Solar Barque with his tail, did the same thing with Khepri, Sia, Hu, Hekau, and Shai, and then used his tail to yank Mehen from the boat before grabbing Ra from the boat and moving him up towards his head. "Ra! My sworn nemesis! Finally, I can devour you and make sure that you never escape from my stomach ever again!" Apophis spoke before he opened his mouth and swallowed Ra whole. "That would be a no." Lucy said. As she just said that, a solar eclipse immediately started in the sky. While this was going on, Scarab-tron, the Dark Vectors, and Akhexus started glowing. "The chaotic energy from the eclipse is strengthening them!" Heka realized.
"Uh Oh!" The heroes said in worry. "Even we're being affected by this!" Thalassphygris said. "Yeah, I'm feeling stronger." Pristioparaven said. "While I'm feeling weaker." Thalassphygris said. "The balance is completely out of whack!" They both complained. "That's bad, right?" Laird asked. "Very!" Everyone said. "We have to get Ra out of Apophis's stomach! It's the only way to end this eclipse and restore the balance!" Lucy said. "Allow me, Soul Korin, ShishiRed!" AkaRed said, taking on ShishiRed's appearance before aiming the Seiza Blaster at Apophis and pulling the trigger, this caused a bolt of energy to hit Apophis' stomach so hard, the Chaos Serpent immediately upchucked Ra! "Ewww!" Everyone went. "That, was disgusting." Ra noted in disgust. "Well, at least you're out of Apophis's stomach!" Osiris said. "I don't think so!" Apophis declared as he quickly recovered and swallowed Ra up again, much to everyone's chagrin.
"I'll admit, that is one determined serpent god." AkaRed said. "We'll handle this." Blue Beet said. "Beet Machines, Mega Heracles, Hasshin!" Blue Beet, G-Stag, and Reddle called out. Before said insectoid machines, which looked like a blue male Japanese Rhinoceros Beetle-themed six-wheeled ATV (Beetluder), a green Stag Beetle-themed tank (Stagger Tank), a red female Japanese Rhinoceros Beetle-themed gyro vehicle (Red Gyro), and a gigantic white-gold-and-black robotic Hercules Beetle (Mega Heracles), arrived through a portal. "Cool!" Lana said. "Aden, how about you ride along with me in Mega Heracles?" Extradimensional Supplier Kabuto requested Aden. "I'll help in any way I can!" Aden said. "Geb and I will help too!" Net said, to which Geb nodded in agreement. "Yeah! Even I don't like that giant snake!" Geb said. "Perfect, we'd better hurry!" Aden said. Then, as the First Generation B-Fighters, Extradimensional Supplier Kabuto, and Aden entered the cockpits of the three Beet Machines and Mega Heracles respectively, Stephano laughed wickedly.
"I think it's time we took advantage of this power boost, what do you say, gentlemen?" Stephano asked Akuji and Shibogumon. "I agree on that one!" Akuji said. "Oh, Hell, Yes!" Shibogumon said excitingly. "I've got a bad feeling about this!" Presley said. "Great, first, they ripped off the Anansi formation, now they've ripped off the LL formation!" Lincoln complained. "Dark Aquarion Mortem better not be a rip off of my formation!" Sakura complained. "Well, not exactly, since I've been told by Cicadeath and Flygor regarding the Mortem formation that its physical appearance would be male instead of female like your formation, Jewel, though I have opted to include a dark, sinister version of the butterfly wings as a reference to Thanatos, the Greek God of Death, whose symbol is the Butterfly!" Akuji said. "Great." Sakura said sarcastically, her eye twitching under her helmet. Even Lucy and her friends from the Junior Morticians Club got angry at that. "Now they're using Thanatos' image for evil?!" Lucy asked angrily. "Such a transgression is unforgivable!" Haiku angrily declared. "It doesn't matter! Now, you're all going to die!" Scarab declared as Scarab-Tron fired out purple lightning made of chaos energy from its clawed hands right at the Mechas, causing them to get sent back. "My turn!" Akhexus said as he manipulated water from a nearby river and splashed the Mechas with it before projecting dark energy from his claws and molding them into dark energy spheres that he threw at the Mechas, causing most of them to get damaged, though Aquarion Pharaoh was able Dodge deflect a few of the spheres with its spear. "Interesting moves, let's see how you handle this!" Stephano said as he twisted the left handle on his driver once.
Weather Attack! Scorching Sun!
That caused Dark Aquarion Weather's right fist to become engulfed in solar flames before the evil mecha thrusted it towards Aquarion Pharaoh, who spread out its wings to dodge it. "Hah! Missed!" Presley said. "That's what you think! Dark Mugen Punch!" He announced as, much to the Riders' shock, Dark Aquarion Weather actually launched its solar flame-covered fist while it's attached to an infinitely extending mechanical tendril towards Aquarion Pharaoh and easily change directions whenever the heroic Mecha tries to dodge it. Then, the ever-extending fist of Dark Aquarion Weather managed to hit Aquarion Pharaoh in the chestplate and sent it crashing down to the ground. "He ripped off the Mugen Punch too?!" Lincoln complained. "Copyright-Infringing Copycat!" He angrily shouted. "Oh, Amata-sempai-tachi aren't going to be happy to hear that!" Sakura said.
"Yeah, Cicadeath and Flygor provided us with footage from your battles in Aquarion, especially the very first fight featuring it using the Mugen Punch to defeat Manticron, so of course I would use that move to my advantage!" Stephano proudly admitted. That made the Kamen Riders growl angrily. "In that case, I'd better go and help! Jumbo Formation!" Kouji announced as he jumped up and, in a flash of light, turned into a giant-sized version of himself. "What in the world?!" Rath asked in confusion. "Oh, yeah, I forgot to mention that Kamen Rider J is the only Kamen Rider that's capable of turning into a giant!" Shintomaru said through the comm link. "Doesn't matter! You'll still lose against us!" Stephano said. "We'll see about that!" Kouji said as he charged at Dark Aquarion Weather with a battlecry.
Meanwhile...
Cerberion was watching from the castle monitor, gleeing at the power that the eclipse caused by Apophis is giving to Akhexus, the Scarab-Tron, and Dark Aquarion Weather. "Consider this a sneak preview, Jewel." He said. Aquilis, Tytus, Ospreyus, Falkyrie, Vulturion, Butcherbeak, and Emudash, on the other hand, were terrified. "We'd better hope that the heroes win this battle!" Aquilis said quietly in fright.
With The B-Fighters...
They were shooting at Apophis with the lasers from their Beet Machines, making the chaos serpent rather annoyed. "Pesky Insects!" Apophis said in annoyance as he swiped his tail at the Beet Machines. "We need to get Ra out of his stomach! Ouros, any ideas?" Aden asked. "It's a risky move, Aden, but I think we should enter Apophis's mouth and then cut open his stomach from the inside!" Ouros said, much to Aden's shock. "Okay, ew, but I have nothing better." Aden admitted. "We'll hold him down long enough for you to do so!" Net said as she and Geb charged towards Apophis. The Earth Giant then grappled Apophis to the ground while the Sky Goddess blinded the Chaos Serpent with her clouds. "Here goes nothing! I wonder if any of the other guys ever had to do something like this?" Aden asked before shrugging and jumping from the Mega Heracles.
"Oh, I hope Aden-kun knows what he's doing!" Edge said upon seeing that. "Ew, ew, ew. ew, man this thing is long!" Aden complained. "Yeah, snakes are known for having elongated internal organs due to their body shape, but this is esophagus is definitely longer than any known snake species!" Ouros said. Fortunately, it wasn't long before Aden arrived in what could only be assumed as the stomach. Of course, he also landed feet first in some liquid *SPLASH!*. "Oh great, just great." Aden said. "I'd be careful if I were you, who knows how long your armor can last exposed to Apophis' Stomach acid." Ra, who was on a dry area, said. "STOMACH ACID?!" Aden asked in horror as he immediately jumped over to the same dry area as Ra in a panic. "Relax, I made your armor from the same material you tell me the Homunculus Guardian's Medals are made of, it's quite durable." Ouros assured.
"Wait, you're saying that my armor is made out of pure Ouroborosolite?" Aden asked in surprise. "Indeed, I have used Ouroborosolite many a time, so I thought it'd be appropriate." Ouros explained. "Huh, I never knew! Ourborosolite was used by our ancestor Allister Alquemie, who, believe it or not, isn't actually born in our universe, but rather in the main Kamen Rider/Super Sentai/Metal Hero universe, since he came to our world 800 years ago through a dimensional rift! Why, you ask? Because he's actually the younger brother of Aloïs Alquemie, who was one of the four Alchemists that created the Core Medals and Cell Medals, under the orders of the evil king, who would later become the malevolent first OOO, that were used to create the five Homunculi that would be later known as the Greeeds, Ankh included, with the other three Alchemists being identified as Adamas, Belos, and Gara!" Aden said, much to Ouros's surprise. "Uh, fellows?" Ra asked. "Oh right, we need to get out of here!" Aden said. "The Ouroblade is at it's sharpest when in your Quicksilver mode." Ouros explained. "Quicksilver, as in the highly poisonous liquid metal better known as Mercury?" Aden asked. "Exactly! It's based on one of the Tria Prima that I've mentioned earlier!" Ouros said. "Right, Aden said, tapping the one of the Alchemic symbols that Ouros showed earlier, summoning a version of the Ouroblade Familiar made out of pure Mercury (the poisonous liquid metal that's also known as Quicksilver).
"Quicksilver, on!" Aden called, spinning the Alchemy Circle disc on the Ouroblade, allowing the snake made of pure Mercury to descend onto Aden and then turning into liquid metal that merged with his armor and then decorated it with silvery liquid metal-shaped armor pieces and decals. "Alright, let's get out of here, Ouroblade!" Aden called, energizing his sword. "Metallic Ouroborous Break!" Aden called, slashing at the wall. "Okay, we're out!" Aden said. "This isn't over!" Apophis said angrily. "I'm afraid it is!" Ciannan said, holding a jar. "Is what I would like to say, but this guy is way bigger than anything my family and I have ever captured, I'm going to need a bigger jar!" Ciannan said. "Let me and Azalee help you with that!" Aden said. "Just place it on the ground." Azalee said as Ciannan did so. The two Alchemy powered heroes summoned Alchemic Circles and placed them on the ground.
The Alquemie twins then caused the sand in the ground to swirl around the jar. Before the two's Alchemy Circles united, causing the sand to form a giant jar! "Oh sure, Alchemy, that makes it easy." Ciannan complained. "You got a problem with Alchemy, Cianán?" Azalee asked, slightly offended. "No it's just that making a normal sized one isn't easy. Just turn this thing on the side and aim it at the giant snake, I'll take it from there!" Ciannan said. "Okay!" The Alquemie twins said as they did what Cianán has instructed. "Demhain be Sealblaithe!" Ciannan called, triggering the magic of the jar. "What are you planning, little boy?" Apophis asked in confusion. The giant jar started sucking Apophis in. "What is this? What are you doing to me?!" Apophis asked in shock confusion. "I'm sealing you away so that you'll never cause harm to anyone, especially Ra, ever again!" Cianán answered, much to Apophis's horror. "No! This cannot be happening to me! I am the sun's bane! The swallower of Ra! I am-" Apophis said as he was completely trapped in the jar. "Incredibly annoying! I trust you know what to do with this?" Ciannan asked Ra.
"Certainly!" Ra said. "And thank you for rescuing me!" He said to Aden. "That's just what we do, sir." Aden said as the eclipse ended, and with it, the chaos power boost! As soon as that happened, Akhexus, Scarab-Tron, and Dark Aquarion Weather, who have already managed to overwhelm the heroic Mechas and the giant-sized Kamen Rider J during the eclipse, have suddenly started getting weaker. "Ah poop." Scarab complained as the heroic mechas got up and the heroes glared at the villains from their cockpits before Dark Aquarion Weather split up and retreated through a portal back to the Animarius Castle. "This isn't over!" The three Dark Riders called. "Cowards!" Clyde said angrily. "They'll be back, in the meantime, what do you say we teach these punks a little lesson?" Lincoln suggested. "Yeah! Let's do this!" Armon said. "So, how exactly Aquarion Pharaoh work?" Presley asked. "Well, it's specifically designed to utilize the different fighting techniques and weapons of each of the five Mummies, depending on which of their chairs are in front the center chair!" Lisa explained through the comm link. "Oh, like Aquarion TMNT?" Sakura asked Lisa.
"Exactly!" Lisa said, much to the confusion of Presley and the Mummies. "It's a long story, we'll explain later." Lincoln said. "In the meantime, the controls to swap out the front chair is on your right, Presley." Lisa explained. "I see it! Alright, let's see what the new guy can do first!" Presley said, putting Kimas' chair in the spot that determines the front chair. "Thank you, my prince!" Kimas said. Suddenly, the parts of Vector Pharoah transformed to resemble Kimas' Scorpion Armor. "What in the world?!" Clyde asked in confusion. "I designed Aquarion Pharoah to be able to transform into facsimiles of the mummies' armors." Lisa explained. "Did you have to make it look so much like a scorpion though?" Aurachnid asked as he cowered in fear. "What's the talking spider's problem?" Kimas asked in confusion. "He's terrified of scorpions." Clyde explained. "Mostly because he nearly got stung to death by one 5,000 years ago, back when he was a normal Bum-Eyed Spider!" He added. "Apologies, my mystical friend, but Kimas' mode was a bit of a last minute addition." Lisa said.
Aurachnid still shivered at that. "Anyway, let us see what this can do!" Kimas said taking the controls. He then had Aquarion Pharaoh in Scorpion Armor Mode had its Scorpion Claw-shaped gauntlets shoot out red energy beams at Akhexus and Scarab-Tron. "YEOW! That Stings!" Akhexus said in pain. "Nice! Now let's try Armon!" Presley said, swapping the two out. "Oh, Yeah! Now we're talking!" Armon said as the parts of Vector Pharaoh transformed to resemble his Ram Armor. Before Aquarion Pharoah grabbed the Scarab-tron and slammed it on top of Akhexus. "OW! Get Off Me, You Bug Brain!" Akhexus complained. However before he could, Aquarion Pharoah got on top of one of the Skyring's turnbuckles and tapped it's elbow. Aquarion Pharaoh then jumped down and slammed its right elbow down onto the Scarab-Tron and Akhexus. "Ooh, that's going to leave a mark!" Lincoln said as Presley swapped Armon out for Nefertina.
"Okay, let's see what this can do!" Nefertina said as the parts of Vector Pharaoh transformed to resemble her Cat Armor and then produced her signature whip. Which Aquarion Pharoah then proceeded to wrap Scarab-tron and Akhexus up before zapping the living daylights out of them! "I know your whip can't do that, but I figured why not?" Lisa said. "Uh, thanks, I think!" Nefertina said. Before Aquarion Pharoah flung both of them into turnbuckles. "Ooh! My aching back!" Akhexus complained in pain. "How do you think I feel? I feel like these guys stop me every 22 minutes of my life!" Scarab complained as Presley swapped out for Rath. "Might as well see what I can do here!" Rath said as the parts of Vector Pharaoh transformed to resemble his Cobra Armor and then produced his signature sword. "So, it's a swordfight you want?" Scarab asked as the Scarab-Tron produced twin sword blades from the wrists.
"Hey, catch!" Goro said as Ohblocker tossed Aquarion Pharoah one of it's swords. "Thank you!" Rath said. Before using the two swords to fight Scarab-tron. Interestingly enough, the two Mechas were evenly matched in sword skills. So Scarab, being the villain he is, decided to play dirty by kicking Aquarion Pharoah in the torso. That caused Aquarion Pharaoh to not only reel back from the attack, but also accidentally drop the replica of Rath's sword, which Akhexus picked up. "I should have expected no less from you, Scarab!" Ja-kal said angrily as the Scarab and Akhexus started laughing, only for OhBlocker to cut off Akhexus' sword arm, and both Scarab-tron's arms in one strike with it's remaining sword. "AAAAAAAGH!" How Dare You?!" Akhexus angrily asked in pain while using his remaining arm to pick the replica of Rath's sword. "Do you want to be short two?" Goro asked. "Wait! Let him keep it, trust me." Rath said as he and the other mummies, sans Kimas, shared a knowing smirk while Presley swapped out for Ja-Kal.
"Looks like it's my turn now!" Ja-Kal said as the parts of Vector Pharaoh transformed to resemble his Falcon Armor and then produced his signature bow. "Bring it-" Akhexus started saying, only to be cut off as the sword in his hand turned into a giant snake! "What The... YEOWCH!" Akhexus yelled in pain as the snake bit him. "The thing to remember about my sword is the fact that if anyone besides me wields it for too long, well the results should be obvious." Rath said. That made those who didn't know about that shudder in fright. "Well, while he's dealing with that." Ja-Kal said as Aquarion Pharoah turned to the armless Scarab-tron. Ja-Kal then had Aquarion Pharaoh stretch out its left arm with the bow in hand while summoning a golden energy arrow in its right hand. "Come on, come on, come on, this thing has to have something else!" Scarab said desperately as Ja-Kal let the arrow fly straight through what would be Scarab's heart, if he had one, on the Scarab-tron.
However, something unexpected happened. Instead of exploding, the Scarab-Tron had its severed arms and the hole in its chest regenerate via a cloud of nanites that appeared from with its body. "You've got to be kidding me! You stole the blueprints for the Regeneration Nanites?!" Aquilis asked Cicadeath and Flygor angrily. "Actually, we found them in the same trash bin as the blueprints for the Enlargement Raygun, but we chose not to use them on anyone until they were perfected, more or less!" Cicadeath said. "So, once they were built well enough, we decided to install a small batch of those Regeneration Nanites inside of the Scarab-Tron as a sort of test run, just to see if they are effective to repair machines as much as they did with Animarius like Manticron!" Flygor said. "And judging by the looks of things, it seems that our little test is running smoothly!" Cicadeath said before he and Flygor laughed.
"Well, I don't know what just happened, but...who am I to complain?" Scarab asked. "Great, just our luck, they brought those annoying things back! Fortunately, we know just how to counter this! Ricky!" Lincoln said, calling out to LuchaMagnet. "Yeah?" Ricky and Rikki asked. "No, our Ricky!" Lincoln said. "He's referring to me, KingRanger!" Ricky said. "What do you need?" Ricky asked. "I need you to fire an electromagnetic pulse at the Scarab-tron, that should fry the Regeneration Nanites they appear to be using!" Lincoln explained. "Oh! I see what you mean!" Ricky said. "Electromagnetic Bomber!" Ricky called as the Prime Blaster fired a ball of electromagnetic energy at the Scarab-tron, causing electricity to course through the robot's body, making Scarab yell in pain as not only the Regeneration Nanites, but a lot of the Scarab-tron's circuits, were fried!
"Oh, Drat! Forgot about the Electromagnetic Pulses!" Flygor complained. "Oh, well, we still have more Regeneration Nanites with us here! We'll just have to upgrade them with the ability to become immune to electromagnetic energy, so we can use them next time!" Cicadeath said. As this was going on, Scarab was unable to move as Aquarion Pharoah reverted back to it's base form. "Let's end this!" Lincoln called. "Right!" Everyone else said. "Pharaoh's wrath!" The mummies called. "Prime Victory!" The Lucharangers called. "Twin Blocken Crash!" The core Ohrangers called. "Super Legend Beam!" Rikki called. "Big Flare!" B-Fighter Kabuto called. "Titanic Flare!" Kuwagar called. "Jumbo Rider Kick!" Kouji announced. Then, as LuchaPrime and King Pyramidder fired out their respective finishers, Kabuterios and Kuwaga Titan both fired blasts from their swords, and OhBlocker brought its own swords together to create a giant energy blade that it brought down on the bad guys, Kouji channelled his J Power after leaping high into the air and briefly flashes in a pink aura before he then drops back down rapidly with his giant foot blazing with burning hot energy to attack Akhexus with the force of a meteor strike.
Before Aquarion Pharoah shot out bandage like constructs that wrapped both up and summoned a miniature sun with the Eye of Ra in the center from the opened blade of its spear, launching it, and hitting the two enemies. "No! This can't be happening! I'm supposed to be immortal!" Scarab complained. "Shut up!" Akhexus complained as they both fell over, exploding. That caused Akhexus to revert into a Soul Core with the image of an Akhekh (an Egyptian Dragon-like creature with a serpentine body with hind legs like an antelope, a long snake-like tail, Lion-like front limbs and paws, a pair of large eagle wings on its back, and an eagle-like head with antelope horns and ears as well as having three uraei, the cobras seen on Pharaonic headdresses, set in a vertical row across its head) on it. Which Lincoln then beamed aboard and sealed.
Meanwhile...
As Cicadeath and Flygor were working on something, Moroha called out. "You two!" He said walking up to the insectoid scientists. That caused the two Insect Scientists to freeze in fright and turn around nervously. "Oh, you must be Moroha, it's so nice to finally meet you." Cicadeath said. "Futaba has told us a lot about you." Flygor said. "And he has told me about the two of you like how you're responsible for his ability to transform into this 'Kamen Rider Tetra' warrior." Moroha said. "Oh, yes, that was a fine project for us to build!" Cicadeath said. "The Tetra Driver, truly a masterpiece!" Flygor said. "Make me one as well." Moroha demanded, brandishing his blades. "*Gulp!* You mean, you want to become a Dark Rider yourself?" Cicadeath asked fearfully. "Exactly! After witnessing Futaba and those heroes fight, I am intrigued, and wish to fight our enemies on the same level." Moroha explained. "Alright, any specific motif you want?" Cicadeath asked. "From what we've seen, the most common motif appears to be insects." Flygor said.
"Hmm! Good question! What do two suggest?" Moroha asked. "Come to think of it, if you ignore the fact that you have horns and six eyes, among other things, I'd say the closest insect that matches well with your physical appearance would be a mantis, given the fact that your upper arms resemble the raptorial front limbs of a mantis!" Cicadeath said. "So, perhaps to give you a helmet that covers your horns, maybe we should have your rider motif be that of a specific mantis species known as the Heterochaeta orientalis, commonly known as the cat-eye mantis or giant african stick mantis!" Flygor said as he showed Moroha images and footage of the aforementioned mantis species on a tablet. "And, after looking it up after an encounter with its local Riders, we know the perfect place to get the perfect stuff needed to make everything you need!" Cicadeath said.
Later, at ZECT HQ...
Alarms were blaring as ZECT personnel were trying to figure out the source of the problem. "What's going on here?" Arata asked in confusion. "Sir, we're being hacked!" A ZECT scientist said frantically. "Hacked?! By who?!" Arata asked in shock. "I don't know, but they're in the main computer room, and stealing ZECTOR data!" The scientist said frantically. "Nani?!" Arata asked angrily. Meanwhile, Cicadeath and Flygor were in the main computer room, downloading ZECT's confidential information onto a flash drive with the Insect army's emblem. "With this data and technology, we'll be able to make a Zecter that will make even that goody two shoes Kabuto quiver in fear!" Cicadeath said in delight. "If only General Kabuto weren't off planet, no way he'd pass up the potential opportunity to take him down!" Flygor said. "FREEZE!" Arata said as he entered the room wielding a pistol before seeing their soul Cores and recognizing them from before. "The Animarius Empire? What are you doing here?" He asked in shock as the Gatack Zecter flew by him. "Wouldn't you like to know?!" Cicadeath said as Arata put his pistol aside and grabbed his Zecter and placing it in his belt. "Henshin!" Arata said.
Henshin!
Transforming into his cast form, Arata triggered the Cast Off feature. "Cast Off!" He called.
Cast Off! Change Stag Beetle!
Pieces of his armor flew off, thankfully not damaging any of the expensive equipment before Arata pulled out the Double Calibur. "Surrender now or you'll be so-" Arata said, only for Moroha to strike him repeatedly with his blades. "Sorry, human, but I need this data and technology to get rid of some little pests!" Moroha declared. "Nani?! Who or what kind of Worm are you?!" Arata asked in confusion, much to Moroha's anger. "How dare you call a superior species a worm, you worm?!" Moroha asked angrily. "I got the data!" Flygor said. "And I have the tech!" Cicadeath said, firing a portal gun, opening a portal allowing him and Flygor to rush back to the castle. "Consider yourself lucky, human! Remember this, I am the Warrior Angel Moroha, a member of the Shadow Angels, not a Worm!" Moroha said, following them. "This could be a problem." Arata said.
Back With The Others...
Everyone was on the ground, celebrating their victory. "Man, am I glad that's over!" Kouhei Toba, aka B-Fighter Kabuto, said as he and the other Metal Heroes, Kamen Riders, and Super Sentai heroes removed their helmets and breathed a collective sigh of relief. "Yeah, what an epic battle!" Kai Takuya a.k.a. Blue Beet said in relief. "Yeah, no kidding." Sakura said as she and Ronnie Anne put their hair, both of which had been straightened out in their transformations, back in their signature ponytails while Shintomaru's phone rang. "Arata? What's he calling for?" Shintomaru asked, noticing the secondary rider's name on the screen. He then answered the call. "Moshi-moshi?" Shintomaru asked. "Who's Arata?" Walter asked. "Another Kamen Rider, there are a lot more of us than you realize." Sakura said. "NANI!? Cicadeath and Flygor just broke into ZECT HQ and stole data and technology for the Zecters!?" Shintomaru said, making everyone who knew what ZECT is gasp in shock. "And they were aided by some giant bug like thing, he called himself Warrior Angel Moroha." Arata said once Shintomaru put his phone on speaker.
That made everyone groan and facepalm in frustration. "That can't be good!" Ja-Kal said. "Arata-sempai, are they still there?" Sakura asked. "Unfortunately, they escaped back to your guys' world after stealing the data." Arata said. "MOU!" Sakura complained. "Thanks for letting us know, I'll call back if I find anything out." Shintomaru said, hanging up. "If Cicadeath, Flygor, and Moroha are stealing from ZECT, that's a very bad precedent!" Edge noted. "Just what is ZECT?" Presley asked. "A paramilitary gear technology company from another world, they employed Insect themed Kamen Riders to fight a shapeshifting alien race called the Worms." Shintomaru explained. "Though, insect-themed is not always the case, since one of those Kamen Riders is actually based on an arachnid, specifically a scorpion!" He added. Aurachnid shuddered at that. "Well at least Presley is safe again." Ja-Kal said. "And you guys won't have to worry about Scarab anymore." Emizel said, holding said sorceror's soul.
"What is going on? Why can't I move around?!" Scarab asked as his soul was in a spherical form. "What are you going to do with him?" Elaine asked. "Take him down to Hades, there he'll be put on trial at the Afterlife Nexus, at best, he will be transformed into a bat winged, peg legged, sardine eating, ending every sentence with the word dood, exploding if they aren't careful, penguin like creature called a Prinny and be forced into servitude under the command of an overlord." Emizel explained. "THAT'S THE BEST OUTCOME?! I DON'T EVEN LIKE SARDINES!" Scarab complained. "Somehow, I don't think that Lord Valvatorez would like to hear that!" Nagi said with a giggle. "Would you rather face judgement the Egyptian way?" Lucy asked, pointing to Ammit who was still eating the souls Emizel collected from Set's skeleton army. "Oh, yes, please keep them coming!" Ammit said in delight while she's still eating. This made Scarab shudder in fright.
"Fine, take me to this council thing." Scarab said as Presley approached Axcelsior, Pheonexus, Hieracos, and Crios. "I was able to save this from Futaba." He told them, pulling out Elisseiros' Soul Core. "He sacrificed himself to try and save us." Presley explained. "So, that's what happened to him!" Phoenexus said sadly. "Fortunately, there is a way to bring him back without the Tree of Life." Sakura said, confusing Animarius group. Later, Electraginconia and Euryzinophis, having just been brought to the Mummies' world through the Aurora Curtain, were doing their trick on Elisserios, bringing him back to life. "Am I, Alive?" Elisserios asked in confusion upon resurrection. "Electra-chan and Eury-san here possess an ability to bring the dead back to life." Sakura explained. "You're welcome!" Electraginconia and Euryzinophis said at once. "Axcelsior-san! Axcelsior-san!" Yui called, running up to the group.
"What's wrong, little one?" Axcelsior asked. "Sakira-san sent me! Your eggs are starting to hatch!" Yui said in delight, her tail wagging excitedly. "They're Hatching?! Already?!" Axcelsior asked in shock. "Does anyone else notice that little girl has a tail and fox ears?" Daisaku Katagiri, aka G-Stag asked. "She's part Kitsune." Sakura explained. "Kitsune? As in the shape-shifting fox Yokai?!" Mai Takatori, aka the second Reddle, asked in shock. "yes, that's the one." Sakura said. "Yui-chan and her father's side of the family are from a very long line of part-Kitsunes!" She added. "Plus Adelaide-chan's boyfriend Subaru-kun is part Tanuki, although unlike Yui-chan, he doesn't have those parts yet." Sakura added. "That's because Yui was able to get her Kitsune parts earlier than the rest of her family, due to that Beauty Enhancement Potion she drank!" Carl said.
"The very same potion that reacted to my fairy DNA giving me these." Sakura said, fluttering her wings. "Wait, those are real?" Kengo Tachibana, aka Kuwagar, asked. "I thought those were just part of your costume!" Ran Ayukawa, aka Tendou noted. "Nope! They're real, alright! It's all part of my Nature Fairy heritage! Of course, I wasn't born with these wings, but I gained them after I drank Aya-chan's Beauty Enhancement Potion, which also caused my breasts to grow into F-Cups!" Sakura said. "It's a long story." Aya said.
Later...
Everyone was in awe at the sight of two freshly hatched Animarius babies. Specifically, they were a baby humanoid Axex with featherless wings on his back and a baby female Sak with a small flower bud at the end of her tail. "Kawaii!" Sakura, Yui, and the female Ohrangers and B-Fighters beamed. "So Cute!" The rest of the females said. "What are you going to name them?" Alraunellie asked. "I was thinking Axavier for our little Axex here!" Axcelsior said. "And I was thinking Sakina for our little Sak here!" Sakira said. "That sounds perfect! Welcome, Axavier-kun, Sakina-chan!" Sakura beamed. "Okay, now that's all said and done, Can Somebody Please Get Me To Shower? Seriously, I'm Stinking to High Heavens Here!" Lola, who's still all dirty from the camel poop that Scaraboulder threw at her earlier, yelled, though, thankfully not loud enough to disturb the baby Animarius. "Oh, right, perhaps we should get back to San Francisco and stop by my home to get you all cleaned up!" Amanda said. "Thank You!" Lola said.
Later...
Everyone, including the Egyptian Gods, was back in this world's version of San Francisco at the Mummies' Sphinx hideout, celebrating not only their long awaited victory over Scarab, but also Presley, and apparently Elaine's, birthday! "So, what are we going to do with our new friends here?" Lincoln asked, referring to the Heka and the defected Animarius. "Nyansipo and I have already contacted my Aunt and Uncle over in Ghana, and they've agreed to take Heka in and make her into their family's familiar." Aya said while making a Beauty Enhancement Potion for Elaine. "Of course, that means Heka would be staying with me and my girlfriend for the time being!" Nyansipo said as he and Aika, who's carrying their son Yasuke in her arms, came over. "Aw!" Elaine said. "Axcelsior-san and Sakira-san have already told us that they just want somewhere safe to raise Axavier-kun and Sakina-chan, so Shin-kun and I contacted Brachios-san, and he says there's more than enough room for the four of them at the cave he, Savannara-san, Thornoloch-san, and Corroboris-san are hiding out in, plus they've already arranged for Axcelsior-san to work at the shrine as an assistant while Sakira-san can stay in the cave to raise them while he's busy." Sakura said.
That took everyone by surprise. "Hieracos and Crios have already asked Master Toadus and Gorf to stay with us, and they've agreed." Andros said. "And there's plenty of room for everyone else at the temple." AkaRed said. "I'll go!" Phoenexus said. Everyone else nodded in agreement. "So, you're saying that I'm wasting my time pining after Cynthia?" Presley asked Clyde and Carl. "yes, trust us, falling in love with an older girl may seem exciting, but if she's barely paying any attention to you, it's just not worth it." Carl said. "Especially if she's already taken by a guy her own age!" Clyde added. "Yeah, I guess that's a good point." Presley said. "You should go after someone more your speed, someone like...her!" Clyde said, pointing to Elaine. "Elaine?" Presley asked in confusion. "Yeah, she's exactly your age, pretty, smart." Clyde said. "About to drink a potion that will make her more beautiful." Clyde said, noticing that Aya was making a Beauty Enhancement Potion. "And more importantly, unlike this Cynthia girl, has already admitted that she has feelings for you, but because of your feelings for Cynthia, has left them unrequited." Lisa said, passing by.
"Wait, What?" Presley asked in confusion. "Yeah, dude, so just go for it!" Carl said, pushing Presley towards where Elaine was. "So all I have to do is drink this?" Elaine asked. "And once you do, since you're 13 now, you'll go from that to that!" Aya explained, pointing to Sakura. "Sweet!" Elaine said as she then uncorked the calabash and then drank down the contents. As soon as that happened, Elaine glowed in a bright pink light as her breasts immediately grew into an F-Cup size just like Sakura's, causing her black vest to pop off its buttons and open its up fully, though, luckily, she's wearing a white T-shirt underneath that vest, so she's still clothed in that area. As soon as the light died down, Elaine looked at her newly grown breasts in amazement. "Whoa! Nice! These are bit bigger than I thought!" Elaine said in amazement. "Though, now, I need to explain to my mom about why my vest is open and missing a few buttons!" She added in slight embarrassment upon realizing that her vest is open. "Yeah, that happens sometimes, and it will continue to grow as you age, so..." Aya said as Presley approached the two girls. "Elaine? That Lisa girl just said you have feelings for me, is this true?" Presley asked.
Elaine shot Lisa a 'Really?' look before sighing in defeat. "Yes, Presley, I do have feelings for you, romantic ones, that is! But, because you keep wooing over Cynthia and ignoring me like a big dummy, I wasn't able to confess those feelings towards you and that made feel really, really jealous because of that!" Elaine said. "Yeah, well, I was just telling Clyde and Carl, and they suggested that I should let go of my crush on Cynthia and go for someone more my speed, and then Lisa pointed out your feelings for me, and well...what I'm trying to say is, would you like to go out with me sometime?" Presley said nervously. That made Elaine blush in surprise and delight. "I'd love to!" Elaine said. "That a boy." Ja-Kal said as he and the other mummies watched from afar.
Meanwhile...
"Where is he?" Orgullo asked as they were all waiting on Shockwing to return from another trip to the other world. "Yeah, what's he doing now?" Envidia asked impatiently. Suddenly, a portal opened up as Shockwing walked through. "Sorry I'm late, I had to explain a few things to our guest." Shockwing said as a someone else stepped through the portal. That someone looks like a man wearing red traditional pirate's clothing and a black pirate hat. "And you are?" Iracundo asked. "Basco ta Jolokia." Basco said.
Meanwhile...
AkaRed tensed up as he sensed something off. "Something wrong, AkaRed?" Lincoln asked upon noticing that. "I hope not." AkaRed said.
Meanwhile, in the Afterlife Nexus...
Scarab, with Emizel keeping him tied up in chains, was in the Afterlife Court, where Judge Claudus was looking over Scarab's crimes. "You certainly have quite the rap sheet, Mr. Scarab." Claudus said. "Ambitions for world domination, plotting the usurpation of the Pharaoh, murdering his own son in order to gain immortality and eternal youth, multiple attempts of kidnapping a boy holding the spirit of the Pharaoh's son in order to regain your immortality and eternal youth, making deals with evil individuals in order to fulfill your malevolent goals, having water everywhere dried up and selling water in a bottle for $100 dollars just to make yourself rich, the list goes on!" He said. "And as a Father and King myself in life, I especially can't forgive those parts, bring in the Prinny making machine!" Claudus ordered. At that moment, the Prinny-Making Kit was hauled in by a few Angels. Before they escorted Scarab into it.
"I hope you like becoming a stuffed bird, Scarab!" Amenhotep, who was at the witness stand, said. Before the evil sorcerer was picked up and dropped into the machine. That caused the rest of the machine to come roaring to life as its gears, pistons, and other mechanical parts started moving and steam starts blowing out of its pipes. After a few minutes, the Prinny-making Kit opened it's doors to reveal Scarab, now as a purple-and-pale-white-colored Prinny wearing his signature headdress, being carried out of the exit on a conveyor belt. Upon leaving the kit, the evil sorcerer-turned-Prinny got up on his peg legs and started stumbling around in confusion before looking at a mirror that appeared from the Prinny-making Kit's exit point and was placed right in front of him. "Oh, poo! This is definitely the most humiliating defeat in my entire career! I guess the only bright side is that this body's skin isn't wrinkly!" Scarab said in humiliation upon looking at his own reflection in the mirror.
Later, at Hades...
"Fresh meat!" A demon said as a cart full of new Prinnies, Scarab amongst them, were dropped off at Lord Valvatorez's Prinny Boot Camp. "Let me guess, dood. A bunch of people wearing spandex and armor, dood." A Prinny asked Scarab. "Yes, but how did you know?" Scarab asked. "My subjects and I had an encounter with them a while ago, as they helped my nemesis Miyamoto Usagi thwart my plans to conquer the world, dood!" The Prinny, who was red-and-white in color with long flowing black hair and fierce dignified eyes and wearing a samurai helmet with traditional grey-and-red Japanese Shogun robes, said as he was accompanied by two other Prinnies, one being green-and-white with black spots on is body, snake-like eyes, and a long snake's tail instead of a short stubby one who's wearing a red robe around his torso while the other Prinny was grey-and-white with Rhinoceros ears on his head, a Rhinoceros tail instead of a Prinny tail, and a Rhinoceros horn on the tip of his beak who's wearing Samurai armor with a helmet.
Scarab cringed at that. "To make matters worse, we're not the only ones, dood." The Prinny that was obviously Hebi said, gesturing to what was once Freddy Krueger. "Is that Freddy Krueger? I thought he was a fictional character in a horror film!" Scarab said in confusion. "In your world maybe, dood." Freddy said. "Why do you keep saying 'dood'?" Scarab asked. "An excellent question." Lord Valvatorez said. "Everyone, remind the newcomers of Prinny Rule Number 1!" He called out to the Prinnies surrounding the area. "All Prinnies shall always include the word "dood" in every line they say, dood!" All of the surrounding Prinnies said at once. "Very good!" Lord Valvatorez said. "And the reason why?" He asked. "It's to fully confirm our status as Prinnies, dood!" All of the surrounding Prinnies answered at once. "Excellent, and any Prinny that breaks this rule?" Lord Valvatorez asked. "It's to have them be sent to the bathroom for the Level 1 Prinny Task, which would be scrubbing the toilets with a toothbrush, dood!" The surrounding Prinnies all answered at once. "Perfect, any more questions?" Lord Valvatorez asked. "No, dood." Scarab said, admitting defeat. "Excellent." Lord Valvatorez said.
Meanwhile, back at the Sphinx hideout...
"Presley, since there are other threats out there, it's time that you're given something to help you fight alongside your guardians!" Ra said as he gave Presley an Amulet that's similar to Ja-Kal's amulet, albeit with spread-out wings and the Eye of Ra symbol in the center. "Cool!" Presley said. "This Amulet would give you your own armor so that it would protect you while fighting against whatever threats may come your way!" Ra explained. "Oh, great." Mrs. Carnovan said, her eye twitching, obviously nervous that there were more dangers coming her son's way. "Do not worry, Mrs. Carnovan, we'll train Presley, and be right by his side every step of the way." Ja-Kal promised. "Thanks, Ja-Kal, everyone!" Presley said. "I'd might have to ask, what sort of dangers does Presley have to face off against, now that Scarab and Set are no longer around?" Lincoln asked. "Most of the dangers that young Presley would encounter later in his life would be primarily from other universes, though there is one threat still in this world that has more of a grudge towards Rath than anyone else!" Wadjet said, making Rath facepalm in realization. "Of course, how could I forget about Chantra?" Rath said. "Who's Chantra?" Sakura asked in confusion. "She was a student of mine." Rath said.
"She was a magic user, taught in the arts by myself! Not only did I saw her as the best student I ever had, but I also started developing feelings for her, feelings she may have shared as well! However, once Pharaoh Amenhotep requested me to tutor his son, I had to abandon my lover/student relationship with Chantra, in order to focus on my duties! So, I decided to talk with Chantra, in order to explain the situation, but Chantra was outraged! She started showing off her power to me, saying that the young prince would never be able to reach her power! In response, I told her to stop showing off, and that I needed to obey the pharaoh's command, even if my heart commanded me to stay! Unfortunately, Chantra warned me that I'd end my life as an alone and a dried up husk of a man, and that I'd pay for my choice one day! Of course in reality, what really happened is that I had feared that Chantra was growing too powerful for her own good, and I might have even seen the darkness within her, which is why I decided to step away from teaching her further! Afterwards, I hadn't seen her until about a year ago, when she ended up escaping from the Realm beyond the Western Gate, though I don't how she ended up there in the first place, after Presley's teacher Mr. Huxley accidentally used Presley's science project to switch places with Chantra, who then disguised herself as a substitute teacher named Ms. Chantra and then put Presley under a mind control spell in order to get to me! Of course, She also revealed that she casted a spell on me all those years ago that made me fall in love with her, just so that I would continue teaching her! Thankfully, I was able to use a spell on the underground cable wires that captured her and created an electric current that sent her back to the realm beyond the Western Gate and, in the process, return Mr. Huxley back to our world! Unfortunately, through unknown means, possibly through some magic, Chantra later escaped from the realm and then teamed up with Scarab in order to help him kidnap Presley in exchange for him sharing Prince Rapses's spirit with her, because, apparently, she wanted some of the Prince's to make herself younger too!" Rath explained. "Yeah, and she did so by disguising herself as a girl around my age named Cheryl, infiltrated my school, had me falling in love with her, and then, after we went to the mall, lured me away to that closed pizza restaurant of all places!" Presley said, much to Elaine's anger. "I knew there was something wrong with that Cheryl girl!" Elaine said angrily. "Fortunately, it took some quick thinking from Presley to make Chantra realize that Scarab had no intentions of sharing Prince Rapses's spirit with her, which turned out to be true, and cause the villains to start fighting each other until we arrived to rescue Presley! Unfortunately, both Scarab and Chantra escaped after we fought against the army of Shabtis! The last time we encountered Chantra, during Presley's field trip to the Fisherman's Wharf, she summoned some fog spectres that scared everyone, though by the time we caught up to her, she escaped and left behind at cat statue, which we took to our hideout! Unfortunately, that was actually part Chantra's plan, as that statue was really a mystical object called the Eyes of Windows, which not only allows her see through the eyes of the statue as way to spy on us, but also let's her teleport directly into our hideout! Of course, since her goal is getting revenge on me, she distracted Ja-Kal, Armon, and Nefertina by changing into people in their thoughts!" Rath explained. "At that was low! She made me think that I was back to my wife Tia and our son!" Ja-Kal complained. "She changed into my mother and brought me food, which disappeared as soon as I bit into it!" Armon complained. "She even disguised herself as my male friend Qena, who never knew that I was a girl, since I disguised myself as a boy in my life before I became a mummy, and made feel so guilty about keeping my gender a secret that I left the hideout on the Jetcycle in tears!" Nefertina complained. "She then disguised herself as Ja-Kal and tricked me into leaving the hideout without my tracking amulet, making me think that I had reached a turning point in my training and I would get new amulet, and I fell for it like a sucker!" Presley complained. "After I was dreaming about my old encounter with Chantra in ancient times and woke up, I saw Presley's amulet left on its own, which made me realize that Chantra was behind it all! So, after figuring out how it works, I used the Eyes of Windows to teleport myself directly to Chantra's hideout in the basement of the Berkeley library, where she held Presley captive in a cage! After I fought against Chantra and freed Presley while giving him back his amulet in order to call on the others, Chantra chased after us, lighting the place on fire, until we made it up to the library's rooftop! Chantra argued with me, claiming that she loved me and she would make me pay, though I told her that she only loved the power my teaching gave her, to which she didn't deny! But, she also claimed that I didn't love anything but my books and spells, to which I argued that I loved my students, though she that I never loved her, otherwise I wouldn't have taught her! Then, I revealed to Chantra that I was once attracted to her beauty, but not anymore, as I saw her for what she truly was! In response, Chantra turned herself into a gorgon, revealing to me what she really was indeed! Right as she was about to have her revenge, the others arrived and attacked her! After that, Chantra then escaped, telling me that we would meet again another time! Ever since that day, none of us have heard from or saw her for quite a while!" Rath explained.
"Dang, and I thought that Scarab guy was crazy!" Walter said. "You have no idea." Presley said. "The part about Chantra being a Gorgon is bit confusing, since Gorgons in general are actually from Greece, not Egypt!" Lisa said. "Maybe she's actually part-Gorgon!" Lana said. "Either way, she is as Walter put it, crazy, and dangerous." Rath noted. "Can't be any worse than our enemies, and I'm not just talking about King Draco and his cronies." Ronnie Anne said. "She's referring to the Pecadiablos, a race of demons that are competing with the Animarius Empire for world domination!" Sid said. "Pecadiablo? Translated from Spanish to English, doesn't that mean Sin Devil?" Elaine asked. "Named so do to their relation to the seven deadly sins, Pride, Lust, Greed, Envy, Gluttony, Sloth, and Wrath, trust me, their leaders, are crazy!" Ronnie Anne said. "Thankfully, as these two prove, not all of them are bad." Carlota said, gesturing to Panopticon and Alraunellie.
"Any other enemies?" Walter asked. "Well there is a Pecadiablo we've got allies searching for. Tanu?" Ronnie Anne asked as Tanugatanta conjured an illusion of Gremlock. "His name is Gremlock, he's a soldier of Lujuria, Pecadiablo of Lust, he was able to escape being sealed away in the Dark Box before, and now he's causing all kinds of mayhem." Sid said. "Ranging from sabotage like the Gremlins he's based on, to *Shudder!* forcing opposite-sex couples, especially preteens, into making babies with each other against their wills, usually through hypnosis spells!" Ailuxucara said. "Case in point." Jaxondor said, pointing to Nyansipo, Aika, and Yasuke, as well as Cianán, Aoife, Brion, Charley, Atea, Panyin, Kakra, Bastion, Genevieve, Bijou, Briand, Benjiro, Hozumi, Yuto, Yuka, Katashi, Niyuki, Eito, and Emi.
"With Ciannan, Charley, our girlfriends, and I it happened when Gremlock sabotaged what was supposed to be a male equivalent to the Beauty Enhancement Potion, with the others, including some friends we have on another version of Earth, it was hypnosis." Nyansipo explained. That made Presley, the defected Animarius, and even the Egyptian Gods and Goddesses rather shocked and disgusted. "I know that I'm a Goddess of Fertility and Childbirth, but really! That's disgusting! Even I don't go around forcing couples into doing that!" Tawaret said in disgust. "Another enemy we have, or rather that's on it's way, is Dark Materiarz, a group of beings lead by Ouros and Domhartz's brother Zawon, who aren't in our world yet, but will be there in less than a week, and they're conquering other worlds on their way most likely." Aden said. "Brother?" Presley asked while looking at Ouros in confusion. "It's a long story." Ouros said. "Well if you ever need any help, you can call us." Ja-Kal said. "Likewise." Lincoln said.
Meanwhile...
A certain space pirate captain was sleeping in a hotel room, having a rather weird dream. "Marve-chan." A familiar voice called out in the pirate's head. "Basco?" The pirate captain asked in confusion upon recognizing the voice. "You thought you got rid of me, but guess what? I'm back! And after I help some new friends deal with some pests, I'm coming after you and AkaRed!" Basco's voice rang out. "AkaRed? But, he's already dead!" The pirate captain said in confusion. "Not according to my new friends, he's not! I look forward to seeing you again, Marve-chan, until then, Ja-nee!" Basco called. "Basco!" The Pirate said, shooting out of bed. He then panted heavily out of shock. "Marvelous? Is something wrong?" A nearby robot parrot asked. "I don't know." Marvelous said.
