Kamen Rider SideRide Chronicles: Oscura's Encore
Reality II: Yo-ho-hoy, A Pirate's Life For Me!
Tsumuri had the tablet facing her as she recorded a video log.
"This season of the Desire Grand Prix has continued with a surprising new addition: Masha DeLisle, aka Kamen Rider Kurma. For today's mission, the players must protect their treasure from the Jyamatos. Will they be able to work together, or will grudges and resentment get in the way? We shall see."
She put down her tablet to watch the holographic screen which displayed the Riders' ship sailing in the middle of the ocean.
"I see...water, just water, water, water everywhere," Kurma said in a bored tone as they stood in the crow's nest, looking through their telescope as they scanned for any Jyamatos. "Man, I thought this would be more exciting."
"This is only your first mission, but trust me, it'll get exciting pretty soon," Oscura assured, her voice coming through Kurma's helmet clearly. "So, what did you wish for?"
"Oh, I can't tell ya, Luz. If I did, then it wouldn't come true," Kurma teased as they continued to look for any enemy vessels. "C'mon, hurry up already."
"You know, when I was a kid, I used to dream of an adventure out at sea, to explore, seeing what was out there and discovering new lands."
"What kid doesn't wanna be a pirate?"Kurma asked.
There was a brief pause between them and Oscura decided to get back to the issue.
"Masha, you know that you're putting your life on the line for a wish, right?"Oscura questioned.
"I know. Tsumuri told me everything."
"Then your wish must be pretty important if you're willing to risk so much."
"Yeah, it's worth it. She's worth it."
"Wait, what did you say?"
Confessional: Masha DeLisle/Kurma
"Yeah, my wish is for a world where creatures like my Vee don't have to hide anymore. Every day, she has to hide who she is and pretend to be human. I love the real her but the world won't accept what she is. If anyone found out about her, they would kill her like that Hopkins guy or take her to a lab to be experimented on. No, I won't let that happen. She deserves better, a world that can accept creatures like my Vee. So, I am going to win, no matter what."
Confessional: Luz Noceda/Oscura
"Don't get me wrong, I know Masha can handle themselves. They've survived three encounters with Jyamatos so far but that was back when they were a civilian. It's different for us players since we don't respawn when we die. When we die, that's it for us unless someone wishes us back to life. Their wish must be something really important if they are willing to risk their life for it."
"Yo-ho, yo-ho, a Pirate's Life For me~" Newtonne sang as she held the wheel while they sailed. They did not have a destination, really. According to Tsumuri, they just needed to survive and guard the treasure to complete the mission. Honestly, Newtonne did not expect to be so popular or to be made Captain, but it was the role she had been given.
She glanced around to see her crew. Soaron was at the portside cannons while Red-Pan was at the starboard cannons. Newtonne's eyes narrowed at the witch. Knowing what she had done and what she was capable of, Newtonne knew she could not be trusted but then she watched Oscura who was standing by the sails, holding the rope. Oscura noticed Newtonne watching and waved at her. The newt-themed Rider waved back.
Objectively, what Luz had done in the past could be considered much worse than what Boscha had done, but the Latina showed remorse for her actions. Marcy believed everyone deserves a second chance, but only if they were sincere about their desire to change. Luz showed through her actions that she was willing to fight for those she loved, which was definitely a good thing. However, love was also Sasha's motivation and it was bringing out the worst in her. Boscha's influence also did not help. She knew Sasha was too smart to be manipulated, but Boscha knew exactly what buttons to push to convince her that Luz was evil.
Marcy really hated to choose between Sasha and Luz, especially since the former had been one of her oldest friends. The grudge match in the finals was just pointless since they were both fighting to revive Anne. They should be working together. Sadly, Sasha had a lot to prove.
"Hey, Marcy," Oscura said, getting her attention. "Or would you prefer if I called you 'Captain'?"
"Either's fine," Newtonne replied. "So, what's up?"
"Well, do you think they should make a Kamen Rider series with a pirate theme?" Oscura questioned.
"Oh, my gosh!"Newtonne gasped. "That would be so cool! I mean, there are Riders with pirate-themed forms but I've never seen a series with a whole pirate theme going on."
"I know, right? I imagine that the Rider would be an outlaw and he would go from place to place, fighting monsters but he'll be blamed for the monster attacks by the government. The truth is then revealed that the government made those monsters so they could send their own elite force to take them out," Oscura explained her plot.
"Engineered heroics that generate faith," Newtonne concluded, crossing her arms."I see where this is going. Oh, how about the Rider was originally an agent of the government but then after he learned the truth, he stole his gear from the government he used to work for and escaped with it. That's why he gets labelled as an outlaw."
"Yeah, it plays into the constant theme of the Rider being a phlebotinum rebel," Oscura agreed. "The Cross of Fire."
The Cross of Fire was an ideological concept in the Kamen Rider franchise where the titular Rider shared a connection with their enemies. In early installments, the Riders were people who were kidnapped and converted into cyborg super soldiers by an evil organisation but they ended up escaping and opposing them. This also included Riders who shared a similar origin as the monsters they fought or possessed a similar power source.
If that was the case, did the DGP players also experience the Cross of Fire? They did not share an origin with the Jyamatos but the monsters were no doubt connected with the organisation. Marcy began to wonder if there was something the DGP was keeping from them.
Luz made a good point. If they could grant any wish, then why not use that power to wipe out the Jyamato threat? Did they need the Jyamatos to play the role of enemies for the players to fight? Were they like the enemy characters in the video games she played? Then, did that mean they treated civilians as NPCs, knowing they would be revived after a round ended and they reset everything?
Newtonne shook her head. That made the DGP sound bad but they were her only hope of getting Anne back. Finding out the Desire Grand Prix was a reality TV show had thrown her for a loop but it did little to change anything. She would play the game and bring back Anne. What happened after, she would cross that bridge once she got to it.
Confessional: Sasha Waybright/Soaron
"Do I blame Noceda for what happened to Anne? Of course, I do. I know Anne sacrificed herself for me but Noceda had a way to save her. She had access to that power from the beginning of the final round and she did not use it until Anne was killed. If she had just used it, Anne would still be around! I know, Boscha told me all about what she did in the Demon Realm. I don't think Noceda wants to rule anything, but I don't trust her one bit. If she did all that before, she could do it again. People don't change. She's already gotten a taste for power. What's stopping her from trying to get more? I can't let her win. If she does, she'll be called back and who knows what she'll wish for? I can't let that happen. Can't let Oscura win."
Confessional: Luz Noceda/Oscura
"So, I trust Amity without question, obviously. I also trust Marcy and Masha. I know Marcy and Sasha are best friends, but it seems like Sasha prefers to be the dominant one in the relationship. She's controlling and would rather do things her way than listen to anyone else. I don't doubt that she cares about her friends since she's doing all this for Anne, but I feel like she's trying to take control after losing her best friend. I get that she does not want to work with me since she blames me for what happened to Anne, but maybe she's also intimidated by my power. If I'm more powerful than her, she doesn't have control and she probably doesn't like that dynamic in any relationship. Well, I'm doing this for Anne, whether she likes it or not."
"Captain! Guys!"Kurma yelled as they spotted something in the distance. "I see the enemy ship coming behind us!"
"I don't see it," Oscura grumbled. Gato drew a spell circle and threw it at Oscura. Her eyes lit up as she was given telescopic vision. "Gracias, Amity."
Gato repeated this for the rest of the crew, even Red-Pan, before casting the spell on herself. What they saw caused Oscura, Soaron and Gato to gasp. The Jyamatos' pirate ship was a vessel that Oscura, Gato and Soaron knew all too well. It was a living creature that took the form of a pirate ship with the Jyamatos' emblem on its main sail. Vines crept across the surface of the ship and there were Jyamato Pirates on the deck, waving their cutlasses and flintlocks. On the bow of the ship was a huge rafflesia flower.
It was a Galleon Fortress Jyamato, like the one that had killed Anne. Soaron had nightmares of the day when Anne sacrificed herself for her. Oscura clenched her fists when she saw it too. She never thought she would see it again.
"That thing is huge!"Red-Pan cried. "How are we supposed to fight it!?"
"By working together!" Newtonne ordered."Battle stations, everyone. Let's suit up!"
[Set!]
A logo that read 'ABOMINATION' in a slimy purple font appeared next to Gato as she did her transformation pose. She drew a circle and snapped her fingers.
"Henshin!"
Gato tapped the head of the Abomination Buckle, activating it.
[ABOMINATION!]
The logo turned into Abomination slime that coated her Entry Form suit. The slime solidified, giving her bronze torso armour with a glowing purple sphere in the middle of her chest that acted as a tank filled with abomination slime. There was a vertical bronze seam that went down the middle of the sphere, implying that each half was an individual tank. She had nozzles on her gauntlets which were connected to the tanks via rubber tubes. The eyes of her helmet lit up, turning green.
At the same time, the others equipped themselves with their armour.
Oscura's Desire Driver: [NINJA!]
Newtonne's Desire Driver: [MAGNUM!]
Soaron's Desire Driver: [MONSTER!]
Red-Pan's Desire Driver: [BOOST!]
Kurma's Desire Driver: [BEAT!]
[READY, FIGHT!]
"OK, guys! This is the game plan! I'm gonna turn the ship to port and then when that thing is in range, Sasha and Red-Pan will bombard it with the cannons! If any of them board the ship, Amity, Luz and Kurma will deal with them! Make sure to protect the treasure!"Newtonne instructed. "OK, got it?"
"Aye, ma'am!"
"Aye aye, Captain!"
The Jyamato Galleon was coming closer, picking up speed. There was no way they could outrun it, so they had no choice but to fight. Soaron and Red-Pan were at the cannons. They had loaded the cannonballs and turned the cannons to face the enemy, holding the ropes that would trigger the cannons to fire.
"Now?" Red-Pan asked, eager to kill some Jyamatos.
"Wait for it," Soaron said patiently, eyes narrowed.
"They're almost here!" Kurma warned.
Aboard the deck of the Jyamato Galleon, Pawn-type Jyamatos dressed as pirates were getting ready to attack. Their leader was a Rook-type dressed as a Pirate Captain and looking through a telescope.
"Jya! (There they are!)" it said, pointing at the Riders' ships. "Jya, jya jya! (Prepare the cannons! I want that ship at the bottom of the ocean!)"
"Jya! (Aye!)"
Cannons were rolled over towards the bow of the ship. The Pirate Captain Jyamato looked through its telescope. If it had a visible mouth, it would be smiling.
"JYA! (FIRE!)" the Pirate Captain Jyamato ordered and the cannons fired.
"Incoming!" Kurma warned as they saw cannonballs come flying towards them. One of them flew past the mast, barely missing the sail, but another smashed through the deck, right by Oscura's feet.
"Crap!" Oscura cursed.
"We're taking damage!" Newtonne yelled.
"I got it!" Gato spewed Abomination slime to cover the hole.
"Hard to port!" Newtonne shouted, spinning the wheel fast to the left. "Soaron, Red-Pan, starboard cannons! Return fire!"
Soaron and Red-Pan loaded the cannonballs and pulled the ropes, firing at the enemy ship. The cannonballs flew through the air, blasting holes through the hull. However, this failed to deter or slow down the enemy vessel.
"They're still coming, Captain!" Kurma cried out as the Jyamato Galleon was getting closer. "Should we run?"
"No, we should fight!" Red-Pan insisted.
The Jyamato Galleon fired more cannonballs at the Riders' pirate ship, nearly hitting Kurma and knocking them off the crow's nest.
"Fuck!"
Wood exploded as another cannonball struck the deck. Gato quickly went to patch up the hole.
"Return fire!" Newtonne commanded. Red-Pan and Soaron fired back, their cannons blasting more holes into the enemy's vessel. They both watched as the holes sealed up on the organic ship.
"Now that's just bullshit!" Soaron complained as more cannonballs broke through their deck. "At this rate, they'll sink our battleship!"
"We need to run," Oscura said and she got an idea. "Amity, how big of an illusion can you cast?"
"What do you need?" Gato asked as she prepared to cast a spell.
"A diversion," Oscura suggested."Marcy, is that OK?"
"Do what you gotta do!" Newtonne replied.
Gato called on her magic, and her eyes glowed as she drew a large spell circle and cast an illusion. Instantly, she created a copy of their pirate ship which stayed in place.
"We're gonna need cover!" Newton yelled.
"Then allow me to bring the thunder!" Kurma offered.
[Metal Thunder!]
They hit the piano keys on the Beat Buckle which played heavy metal, and they played the strings on the Beat Axe. Dark clouds rolled in, flashing lightning as thunder boomed above them. And then finally, they hit the trigger.
[TACTICAL THUNDER!]
Lightning bolts came crashing down on the Jyamato Galleon, setting fires on the deck. This caused the Pirate Jyamatos to panic and start putting out the fires.
"And now for some cover," Oscura spun the disk on the Ninja Dueler three times.
[TACTICAL FINISH!]
Twirling the Ninja Dueler, Oscura spun on her heels and swung, throwing discs of fire at the Jyamato Galleon. She managed to hit the sails, setting them on fire and causing more chaos for the Jyamato Pirates. Twirling the Ninja Dueler rapidly, Oscura created a fog that would cover their ship.
"Luz, hoist the main sails!" Newtonne yelled."We're getting out of here!"
Oscura went and pulled the rope. The wind blew into the sails and pushed their ship into the fog which hid them while the decoy ship remained.
"OK, damage report?" Marcy asked as she turned to her crew. While in the fog, they were safe. At least for now. The mission was not yet complete. Besides protecting the treasure, they needed to defeat the Pirate Jyamatos.
"Treasure's safe," Amity reported, the golden Mission Box still sitting on its spot. "But I had to patch up a lot of holes."
"And that thing was huge," Boscha added, putting in her two snails.
"We should have stayed and fought," Sasha insisted. "We could have taken that thing."
"Yeah, and end up sunk and lose the game," Luz snarked, crossing her arms. "Not all problems can be solved with a punch, Waybright." Sasha clenched her fists very tightly, sorely tempted to punch the know-it-all Luz right in the face then and there.
"We'll need to upgrade the ship then," Marcy proposed. "Luz, you still have the Powered Builder Buckle, right?"
"Yeah, why?" Luz asked.
"Give us some upgrades and buffs!" Marcy commanded, smirking. Luz immediately understood what Marcy meant and smiled the same smile she had on.
"Does this count as modding?" Luz asked.
"We're fighting Jyamatos!"
"Good point!"
[Set Warning!]
"Henshin!"
[WOULD YOU LIKE A CUSTOM SELECTION?]
[READY, FIGHT!]
After equipping herself with the Powered Builder Armour, Oscura took the three Gigant Buckles which were attached to the Gigant Container on her left hip and put them into the Powered Builder Buckle in quick succession.
[GIGANT BLASTER!]
[HYBRID: GIGANT HAMMER!]
[ALMIGHT: GIGANT SWORD!]
[GIGANT ALMIGHTY!]
The mechanical manipulator arms on Oscura's armour were now extended out, each holding one of the Gigant Weapons.
"Whoa…"Amity gasped as she saw the large mechanical arms, arming Oscura with three different large weapons at once.
"Ready to upgrade, Captain!"Oscura saluted and got to work. She used the Gigant Blaster to generate the materials, while using the Gigant Hammer and Sword to shape and cut them. The rest stood back to watch Oscura work.
Meanwhile, Boscha pulled Sasha aside.
"So, what do you think is in that box?" the triclops whispered to the blonde.
"Not sure, but we don't need to know what it is. Just that we can't lose it or risk losing the game," Sasha whispered back.
"You know, we could have Oscura thrown overboard," Boscha suggested and Sasha glared at her. "No, hear me out. If she's thrown overboard, that may tank her support and her popularity will go down."
Sasha looked at Oscura who continued to work, following Marcy's instruction on the upgrades they needed. As much as she wanted Luz to be eliminated, she also wanted to fight her one on one.
"No, it's too early. Besides, we already know her weakness," Sasha said.
"We do?" Boscha blinked.
"During the end of the Labyrinth Game, her armour shut off before that monster hit her. I think that special Buckle of hers runs on limited power. When she used it all up, the armour shuts off," Sasha explained. She did not get the full picture, but that was her hypothesis. The Oscura Buckle was not all-powerful. She could take Luz on and she also had a special buckle of her own, thanks to her dad.
The Pirate Jyamatos managed to put out the fires and went to attack the decoy ship. At first, they tried to board it but soon realised it was an illusion as they just fell into the water instead of landing on a solid deck. The Pirate Captain Jyamato was angry and it yelled at its crew to pursue the Riders into the fog.
"JYA! JYA JYA! (FIND THEM! THEY HAVE MY TREASURE!)"
"Alright." Luz dusted off her hands. "Mods and upgrades are complete, Captain!"
"Good job, Luz," Marcy praised as she looked at all the upgrades, modifications and fortifications that Luz had done to their ship. It was not just in fighting shape, but the Jyamatos would soon realise that they were in for a hard battle ahead.
The ship left the fog which began to fade around them. Of course, it would not have lasted long. Masha maintained their post on the crow's nest, scanning their surroundings for the enemy. They tapped their foot impatiently. The hardest part was always the anticipation of an oncoming attack.
Then they reminded themselves that Vee was worth it.
"And the treasure is stored safe and sound below deck in a safe," Luz reported.
"You built a safe?" Amity asked.
"I mean, since I did a ton of work on our ship, we might as well build a secure place to keep the treasure," Luz reasoned.
"Love the initiative, Luz," Marcy praised. "Now, when those Jyamatos catch up with us, they are going to be in for a surprise. So, rest up but be ready. We don't know when they'll strike."
Amity and Luz walked over to the gunwale to admire the sea.
"You know, this is kinda nice," Amity admitted. "I mean, yeah, we're fighting against bloodthirsty pirates, but other than that, it's nice."
"Yeah, I know," Luz agreed. "Sailing on a big boat, with just the ocean around us. If I see a dolphin or a whale, I am so taking pictures."
"Yeah, more pictures for our scrapbook." Amity leaned against Luz who put her arm around her.
"Look at them," Boscha grumbled, disgusted by how close Amity and Luz were. "It makes me sick."
"Enemy incoming, Captain!" Masha warned as they spotted the enemy Jyamato ship coming for them. Since it was a living creature, it had no need for sails to move.
"Alright, ladies! Suit up and get to your battle stations!" Marcy commanded. "It's time we fought back!"
The Pirate Captain Jyamato looked through its telescope and spotted the Riders' ship.
"Jya! JYA! (There! GET THEM!)" it commanded, and a group of Pirate Jyamato saluted.
"Jya jya! (Aye aye!)" the Pirate Jyamatos took off towards the Riders' ship. That was when they grew wings made of vines that burst from their backs, allowing them to glide in the air. They would soon drop onboard the enemy ship and begin their attack.
Suddenly, the Pirate Jyamatos exploded while in midair. They began to cry out in shock and panic before they blew up. At the same time, the Galleon Jyamato shook as its bow suddenly exploded. The Pirate Captain Jyamato staggered before regaining its balance. It looked through its telescope again and could not believe what it was seeing.
The Riders' ship had gone through changes, many extreme changes. First, the hull of the ship was covered in metal and instead of normal fabric sails, the sails were large solar panels used to absorb energy from the sun's rays. They had also increased their firepower with rear-facing and forward-facing cannons and turrets. It was like a hybrid pirate-battleship.
However, the Jyamato Pirates would not be deterred. They would get that treasure and kill all the Riders onboard.
"Jya! Jya! (Grab it! Don't let them escape!)" The Pirate Captain Jyamato ordered, and vines shot out of the bow of the ship to ensnare the Riders' ship.
Newtonne's wheel was now on a console with a radar scanner. She smirked as she saw the vines onscreen that were coming for them.
"Oh, you're not catching us!" Newtonne smirked as she pushed the lever at the helm forward, going full speed ahead as the upgraded Rider ship was propelled forward, causing the vines to miss as they splashed against the water. The vines snaked out of the water and gave chase, but as they drew near, Newtonne pressed a button on her new console and the stern of the ship opened to reveal two sets of three cannons that formed a triangle. The cannons began rotating as they fired red laser beams at the incoming vines, blasting them to shreds before they reached the ship. Grinning with success, the newt-themed Rider spun the wheel and had the ship turn, now heading straight for the Jyamato Galleon.
With the press of another button, Newtonne made two more sets of the same rotating cannons appear out of the bow of the ship. And just like before, she had the cannons autofire, shooting balls of energy at the Jyamato Galleon up ahead. The energy spheres exploded as they hit the front of the enemy ship, burning parts of its hull and making the monster have to work double time to regenerate the damage the cannons were doing. The Jyamato Galleon managed to survive the barrage as it pursued and was now coming up on the Riders' starboard side.
"MAN THE CANNONS!" Newtonne ordered.
Soaron and Red-Pan got on the deck turrets as more cannons were automatically pushed out of the portholes on the starboard side of the ship. The Jyamato Galleon fired their own cannonballs at the Riders' ship, but the autofiring cannons started to snipe the physical ordinances out of the air, causing multiple explosions to go off between the enemy ship and their ship. The few that did manage to get through the barrage of laser fire struck the hull of the Riders' ship, but upon further inspection, the damage was little more than a scorch mark. The two Riders manning the deck turrets pulled the triggers as they fired multiple laser blasts at the Jyamato Galleon. They managed to hit the enemy's starboard side, again blasting large holes in it with each hit.
The Jyamato Galleon released multiple vines, creating a thick shield wall to prevent it from taking any further damage while it repaired itself.
"HEADS UP, CREW! WE GOT INCOMING!" Kurma warned.
Everyone looked up as several Pirate Jyamatos were launched from the ship, almost catapulted, and suddenly sprouted wings made of vines and were now using them to fly straight for their ship.
"AIM TO THE SKY, ME HEARTIES! SHOW THESE REJECTS FROM DAVY JONES' LOCKER WHAT REAL PIRATE RIDERS CAN DO! FIRE AT WILL!"Newtonne ordered, really getting into her role as Captain.
Soaron and Red-Pan aimed their turrets high and began shooting rapidly into the air. Gato aimed her arms into the air as she charged up some Abomination slime and shot huge balls of the stuff at the flying Jyamatos. Oscura, armed with the Gigant Blaster, took aim as well and shot in the direction of the incoming Pirate Jyamatos.
Kurma whipped out their Beat Axe and used the Metal Thunder attack to rain lightning bolts on the Pirate Jyamatos. Their range wasn't that far, but it was good enough to cover the gap between the two ships as the skies between them were lighting up with dozens of explosions. The Pirate Jyamatos flailed in the air as they desperately tried to evade the attacks to get to the Riders' ship.
"Wow, these things are great!" Soaron praised the laser turret.
Red-Pan said nothing. She did not want to give Oscura the satisfaction.
"Thought we'd need the extra firepower," Oscura boasted. Using her imagination along with the Powered Builder's Gigant Almighty Mode, she was able to make all sorts of offensive and defensive upgrades to the ship.
Suddenly, the Riders felt the ship shake and Oscura looked over the side of the ship to see vines wrapped around the hull. They looked back at the Jyamato Galleon and realized that there was still a mess of vines protecting the starboard side, but that was when Oscura noticed huge, long silhouettes under the water.
"Clever bastards, they sent the vines under the water so we wouldn't notice. The shield wall wasn't only to protect them, it was to hide what they were doing as well. Now, they want to pull us to them," Oscura observed.
"Then we need to cut the vines," Gato urged as she aimed her nozzles at the vines.
"Don't worry. My mods will take care of that," Oscura claimed and she snapped her fingers. Suddenly, spikes burst out of the hull, shredding the vines holding them. "Everything looks cooler with spikes and they're better when they're functional."
"Wow, you really went all-in with the mods," Gato commented.
"And now we take the fight to them!"Newtonne spun the wheel to turn the boat around until it was facing the enemy ship. The bowsprit of their ship was now spear-tipped and pointed right at the Jyamato Pirate's ship. "OK, guys! Ceasefire and get below deck! Once there, brace yourselves! 'Coz mama's about to drive this thing right up their asses!" Beside Marcy was a stick shift and she pushed the lever forward to Max. This activated the engine.
The Riders rushed down to below deck but Kurma was left in the crow's nest. They decided to duck down and put their hands over their heads. The ship lurched forward, accelerating until it was speeding across the water, sending water splashing behind it. Newtonne maintained course, eyes narrowed as she gripped the wheel. Newtonne turned the ship to port, turning as wide as she could as she brought the ship on a collision course with the Jyamatos' pirate ship, aiming right for their bow.
Meanwhile, the Jyamato Pirates were scrambling for their cannons as the Pirate Captain Jyamato screamed at them to hurry up.
"JYA! JYA! JYAAAAAA! (HURRY, YOU FOOLS! HURRY! HURRY!)"
Unfortunately, it was too late as the Riders' pirate ship rammed right into the bow of the Jyamato Galleon, driving its spear through. Everyone below deck fell when they suddenly lost speed. Some got tossed against the wall and ended up sliding down until they hit the floor.
"OK, has your friend always been this insane?"Red-Pan asked Soaron who was gobsmacked. She never knew Newtonne could be so audacious.
"Marcy can get…intense when she's in The Zone," Soaron answered.
Confessional: Sasha Waybright/Soaron
"So, 'The Zone' is when Marcy's super focused on something. It's why she had the best grades in class when we all went to school together. If she's given a project, she doesn't stop until it's finished. When she plays a game, she completes it until she has all the achievements. Unfortunately, this causes her to tune out everything else. Like that time she walked into the zoo when all the snakes broke out. Fortunately, Anne went to save her but she never went into detail about how she saved Marcy. Since then, snakes have terrified Anne."
While the Jyamato Galleon was twice the size of their ship, it could do nothing to shake them off. Newtonne took her chance to address the Jyamato Pirates.
"You have chased us down but right now you are the ones at our mercy, and we have none for you! So, die like dirty sea dogs as we kick your booty!"
"Heh, booty," Kurma snickered in the crow's nest.
"JYAAAAAA! (GET THEM!)" the Pirate Captain Jyamato ordered, pointing its cutlass at the Riders' ship, sending the Pirate Jyamatos to board them. They leapt off the deck and landed on the deck of the Riders' ship. As soon as they did, Newtonne pulled out her Magnum Shooter and fired at them. More and more Pirate Jyamatos landed on the deck. They fired at Newtonne with their flintlocks, pushing her back. Once they cornered her, they were ready to kill her when Kurma leapt down from the crow's nest.
[Rock Fire!]
"Let's Rock and Roll!" Kurma yelled as they jumped down from the crow's nest.
[TACTICAL FIRE!]
Kurma landed on the deck of the ship right between Newtonne and the Pirate Jyamatos as they strummed their Beat Axe, casting a wave of blazing fire that roared out towards the Pirate Jyamatos. The plant-based monsters hurriedly backed away from the flames, not wanting to get burned alive. When the flames died down, Red-Pan, Soaron, Oscura, and Gato rushed out from below deck. Red-Pan, Soaron, and Oscura stood behind the Pirate Jyamatos while Gato stood next to Kurma. Now it was six Riders the Jyamatos had to deal with.
"Guys!" Newtonne yelled, pointing her Magnum Shooter at the Pirate Jyamato. "LET'S KICK BOOTY!"
The Riders roared and charged at the Pirate Jyamatos.
[GIGANT SWORD!]
Sparks flew as Oscura swung the Gigant Sword, parrying the cutlasses of the Pirate Jyamatos. Whenever some of the Pirate Jyamatos tried to surround her, Oscura just swung her sword in a wide arc, forcing the plant monsters to quickly back away from her in fear of either getting sent flying into the waters or getting cut in half. Oscura used their wariness of her large sword to her advantage as she pressed her attack and charged further into the fray. She slashed with the Gigant Sword, cutting one Pirate Jyamato in half and sending both halves flying before they exploded. She swung again and about three Pirate Jyamatos tried to block her swing together, but the increased physical strength of the Powered Builder allowed Oscura to break through their defence and sent all three of them flying overboard.
Another one of the Pirate Jyamatos was foolish enough to charge her head on. Oscura merely threw a thrust kick its way, striking the plant monster in its chest as it let out a painful gasp upon impact. The Pirate Jyamato fell onto its back. But before it could get up, Oscura slammed her foot onto its chest and stared down at the creature as she pinned it there.
"Yo-ho-ho, a pirate's life for me~!" Oscura sang and raised her foot before she stamped it straight through the monster's chest, collapsing it before it exploded beneath her.
Gato was surrounded by Pirate Jyamatos but she was not afraid. Abomination slime spewed from her gauntlet nozzles and she used her magic to shape them, turning them into a large pair of arms with big meaty fists. She spun like a whirlwind, knocking them away with her giant Abomination fists before raising the arms and slamming them down, flattening them on the reinforced deck.
Several more came at her and she pulled back her slime to cover her hands. The slime gathered around her left hand into a ball, which was covered in spikes, and she bashed the Pirate Jyamatos with it. She also reshaped the slime around her right hand into a sword, making it long, thin and sharp. She parried a cutlass and then shoved the Jyamato back before slashing it across the chest. She pointed her spiked ball at the Jyamato Pirates and, with a single thought, she sent spikes flying like little darts, causing mini explosions to go off all over the Pirate Jyamatos' bodies. She uncoated her hands for a moment to tap the head of her Abomination Buckle.
[ABOMINATION STRIKE!]
"Time for the guillotine!" Gato raised her right arm and the Abomination slime took on the form of a massive axe which was covered in crackling magical energy and, with a single swing, she took off their heads. Their bodies exploded, leaving behind ashes.
The Pirate Jyamatos tried to get to Newtonne but she fired at them with her Magnum Shooter.
"You scallywags are gonna walk the plank!"Newtonne yelled. She blocked a cutlass with her gun and then drove the Jyamato back with a kick before riddling it with bullets. The other Pirate Jyamatos aimed their flintlocks at her and fired but a wall of Abomination slime absorbed the bullets. The wall dropped and Newton had her Mangum Shooter in Rifle Mode with her Raise Buckle equipped.
[MAGNUM TACTICAL BLAST!]
She unleashed a rapid-fire barrage of charged energy bullets at the Pirate Jyamatos, blowing them up. As more enemies boarded, she put her Buckle back on her Driver and quickly climbed up the mast. She settled in the crow's nest before pulling on the hammer.
[Charge!]
And she squeezed the trigger.
[TACTICAL SHOOT!]
She fired, giving each Pirate Jyamato a headshot. She then turned her attention to the enemy ship, looking through her scope for the Captain. She spotted a Rook Jyamato that was dressed like a pirate captain and it even had vines acting as a beard.
"Headshot," Newtonne prepared to assassinate the Pirate Captain Jyamato when the crow's nest shook. She looked down and saw a few Pirate Jyamatos hacking away at it to try and bring her down. "Shit! Guys! Need help here!"
Red-Pan was throwing Pirate Jyamatos overboard with Soaron's help when Soaron heard Newtonne's cry for help and looked up at the crow's nest. She then looked down at the base of the main mast and saw the Pirate Jyamatos were trying to chop it down.
"Hold on, Mar-Mar!" Soaron left Red-Pan to help her friend.
[MONSTER STRIKE!]
She delivered two explosive punches, destroying the Pirate Jyamatos before they could do any further damage.
"Thanks, Sasha!" Newtonne called out and she looked through her scope, only to not see the Pirate Captain Jyamato anywhere. "Where did you go?" She looked for it all over the deck. She then saw it standing behind a cannon that was aimed at her. "Oh shi-!"
The cannon fired, shooting a cannonball that struck the crow's nest. It exploded into splinters and Newtonne cried out as she was thrown overboard. As soon as she made a splash, she vanished into a cluster of blue pixels.
"MARCY!" Soaron screamed and she received a notification on her Spider Phone.
Marcy Wu/Newtonne [OUT]
Now, only five Riders remained.
Kurma was swinging their Beat Axe when they saw one of them go below deck. It must be going after the treasure.
"Not on my watch!" Kurma went after the Jyamato and followed it below deck. There, they found it trying to force the safe that contained the treasure open. "You're not gonna get it open. My SIL made sure of it."
The Pirate Jyamato turned to face Kurma and yelled as it fired at them with its flintlock. They deflected the bullets with their Beat Axe while charging it up for another attack.
[Funk Blizzard!]
As frost flowed along the body of the Beat Axe, Kurma deflected more and more bullets until the Pirate Jyamato decided to rush at them.
[TACTICAL BLIZZARD!]
Kurma fired a wave of frost that froze the Pirate Jyamato solid and they shattered it to pieces.
"OK, the treasure is secured."
[Secret Mission Cleared!]
"Huh?"Kurma took out their Spider Phone and the screen showed them the Secret Mission:
'Secret Mission: Protect the Golden Mission Box from a Pirate Jyamato.'
A Mission Box dropped in front of Kurma and they opened it. The dark blue Raise Buckle was modelled after a shark and had a lever on the side.
As the Pirate Jyamatos continued to board the Riders' ship, the Pirate Captain Jyamato had its crew fire upon the enemy ship. He had them roll all the cannons to the middle of the deck, raise them at an angle, and fire. The cannonballs flew up and then let gravity bring them down. The cannonballs failed to penetrate the deck but that was not all they could do. Upon impact, the cannonballs exploded like bombs. Red-Pan was caught in an explosion that threw her overboard.
Boscha Barbtalone/Red-Pan [OUT]
"Oh, no. Boscha's gone," Oscura deadpanned.
"Dang it!" Soaron cursed. Fighting the Pirate Jyamatos and sending them overboard was hard enough, but now they had to avoid being sent overboard by exploding cannonballs. An exploding cannonball landed beside Soaron and she was sent flying. She nearly went overboard until a hand made of Abomination slime caught her, setting her back down. She was surprised and looked at Gato who was in the middle of punching away the Pirate Jyamatos.
"You saved me?"Soaron asked, confused.
"You might be an insufferable bitch to Luz, but we'll need to work together if we're going to win this game," Gato reasoned.
Soaron said nothing but acknowledged her with a nod before returning her attention to the Pirate Jyamatos. She charged at them, using her gauntlets as a shield to block the bullets before she knocked them around with punches.
The Pirate Captain Jyamato watched as its men attacked the players, looking both frustrated and impatient. The players were just too stubborn to die. Why could they just not give up? It would be better for them to just surrender. Resistance was futile.
Suddenly, something burst out of the water and landed on the Jyamato Galleon's deck. It was Kamen Rider Kurma and they wore new armour which covered their top, shoulders and arms. The armour was mainly dark blue with a light blue stripe across the chest to break up the colour. On the back of the armour was a pair of crescent-shaped fins. Across their chest were dark blue patterns that resembled gills. Their pauldrons were shaped like the top of shark heads with red eyes and blue fins and the armor wrapped around their biceps resembled the lower jaws. Their gauntlets were shaped like fishing reels, sans the levers. They also had a new faceplate that resembled razor-sharp teeth and their helmet gained dark blue eyes. On their Desire Driver was the Raise Buckle they had just gotten.
"'Ello, Cap'n," Kurma greeted with a Cockney accent before they punched the Jyamato Pirate Captain across the face, knocking it down."Welcome to Shark Week!"
"Jya! (Fire!)" the Pirate Captain Jyamato yelled and the other Pirate Jyamatos aimed their cannons at them.
"Sorry, but this is one-on-one so you guys need to sit this one out!" Kurma yelled as they pushed down the lever of the Shark Buckle.
[SHARK STRIKE!]
Streams of water flowed from the ocean and wrapped around Kurma's gauntlets before they fired water from their fists like a water hose, knocking the Pirate Jyamatos back. They sent the cannons crashing through the gunwale and they fell overboard along with the rest of the pirate crew.
"Now, it's just you and me!"Kurma went and attacked the Pirate Captain Jyamato, punching it nonstop in the chest before delivering a roundhouse kick. It staggered back and then reached into its coat to pull out a large cutlass.
"Jya jya! Jya jya jya! (You humans keep killing our kind! I will avenge them by killing you!)"
"Hey, I got something like that, too!" Kurma reached behind their back and pulled off the fins attached to their shoulder blades before tugging them off, revealing them to be a pair of crescent blades with grips built into the middle of their respective inner sides.
The Pirate Captain Jyamato swung at Kurma but they caught the blade before knocking it aside. The two exchanged blows, their blades clashing, sending sparks flying as their weapons connected. Eventually, Kurma successfully delivered a slash across the Pirate Captain Jyamato's chest with their right Shark Crescent before following up with the left Shark Crescent.
"Jya! Jya jya! (Argh! You human scum!)"
As the Pirate Captain Jyamato resumed its attack, Kurma spun on their heel and got in close to drive their elbow into the Pirate Captain Jyamato's stomach before turning back around to drive their knee into the same spot, knocking the wind out of the creature.
"Alright, let's see what these can do!" Kurma said as they squeezed the triggers of their Shark Crescents.
[TACTICAL SLICE!]
Glowing water enveloped the blades of their Shark Crescent, creating blades of water which expanded. They delivered a flurry of slashes, striking the Pirate Captain Jyamato repeatedly before sending it sprawling with one last strike. Kurma put their weapons away and pushed down on the Shark Buckle's lever to deliver the finishing move.
[SHARK STRIKE!]
"I need a good finishing one-liner..."Kurma scratched their head and it came to them. "Aha! I got it!"
The Pirate Captain Jyamato groaned as it got back on its feet and then reached into its coat to pull out a hand cannon. It aimed at Kurma just as they leapt into the air. Blue energy surrounded them, taking the form of a shark with its jaws wide open. The Pirate Captain Jyamato fired desperately at Kurma as they began to descend towards it but the hand cannon's shots kept missing as they flew past the Rider.
"IT'S CHOW TIME!"
Kurma performed a scissor kick that struck the Pirate Captain Jyamato. Upon contact, the huge shark's jaws bit down on the Jyamato, causing it to explode.
[MISSION CLEARED]
Once the Pirate Captain Jyamato was vanquished, the rest of the Pirate Jyamatos keeled over and died as they exploded as well. Then there was a blue flash and the Riders were all transported back to the Desire Temple, sans their armour.
[Pirate Game Winner: Masha DeLisle/Kurma]
Masha's name was displayed on the holographic screen, complete with fireworks.
"Congratulations, Kurma, for winning the Pirate Game. As your reward, the treasure is all yours," Tsumuri praised as she handed the golden Mission Box to Masha.
"Yes!" Masha ripped off the lid and saw that the Golden Mission Box contained a golden Raise Buckle. It had a disk with an eight-pointed star on it, aka an octagram, and the switch on the side was shaped like an eight-pointed star that was embedded in the Buckle. "Wow, shiny."
"Newtonne, you did well as the captain of your crew," Tsumuri praised.
"It was nothing," Marcy smiled, rubbing the back of her head.
"And Oscura, that was a very creative use for the Powered Builder Buckle," Tsumuri complimented.
"Just doing my part," Luz said modestly.
Suddenly, the air around the Desire Temple was filled with countless camera eyes, watching the Kamen Riders. Fireworks went off as glowing holographic letters that spelt 'DGP' appeared above the players.
{What an amazing debut game for our new DGP! Now, everyone, please give a round of applause to our players!}
The players heard applause coming from the cameras as well as cheers.
{Oscura, you rock!}
{Sasha, you're my favourite!}
{Lumity Forever!}
{Marcy, I'm rooting for you!}
Many, many words of encouragement filled the Desire Temple. It was insane.
{First up, we have the Champion of the previous DGP Season, the former Dark Empress of the Boiling Isles, the Mistress of Darkness herself, Kamen Rider Oscura, aka Luz Nodeca!}
Luz smiled and gave a polite wave to all her fans.
{Next, another favourite of the Desire Grand Prix! She's a fierce fighter with the skills to back up all her talk, Kamen Rider Soaron, aka Sasha Waybright!}
Sasha gave a cocky smirk and crossed her arms.
{She is a witch from the Boiling Isles and a practitioner of all nine forms of magic, but she excels at Abominations! Kamen Rider Gato, aka Amity Blight!}
Wearing a Blight-patented haughty smile, Amity bowed to her audience.
{Meet the cute tactical genius and another favourite of the DGP! She is Kamen Rider Newtonne, aka Marcy Wu!}
Marcy laughed nervously with a blush as she waved, her audience screaming her name.
{Marcy! Marcy! Marcy! Marcy!}
{Their pronouns are they/them, and they are the winner of today's game despite being a newbie among veterans! They are called Kamen Rider Kurma, also known as Masha DeLisle!}
"This is for all of you and my girl Vee!" Masha blew a kiss and gave the cameras a double peace sign. They received applause and cheers.
{And finally, another witch from the Boiling Isles, Kamen Rider Red-Pan, aka Boscha Barbtalone!}
The cheering and applause immediately stopped.
"Huh?" Boscha was stunned by this. "Hey, what gives!?"
{BOOOOOOOO!}
"Ah, screw you!" Boscha yelled.
'Yeah, that's not going to help you win over any fans,' Sasha, Luz, Marcy, Masha, and Amity thought at the same time.
{An exciting first game of the new format, Kamen Riders. I hope you at least had a little bit of fun.}
"Ugh, yeah, 'cause I love putting my life on the line for the entertainment of others," said Luz, with a heavy dose of sarcasm.
{That's the spirit!}
"Alright, so who's getting eliminated today?!" Boscha asked, impatiently.
The Game Master shook his finger at the three-eyed witch.
{Patience, Red-Pan. I have to announce the new rules for you all going forward.}
That raised everyone's eyebrows, even Tsumuri's.
"What new rules?" Amity questioned.
Another holographic screen appeared, and it was blank, for now.
{As we are entering a new phase of our DGP season, we will be adding new rules and a new challenge for our Riders. First is the special challenge.}
Everyone paid close attention, considering this was the DGP, there was no telling what they were going to throw at them.
{My Riders…there is a Mole among you.}
"A mole?" Luz parroted.
"Like a spy or something?" Marcy asked.
{Correct, Newtonne. This one player, designated: The Mole, will be tasked with doing anything and everything in their power to sabotage you and your fellow players. The Mole will be given their secret task before the start of each mission on what exactly they are to do to sabotage you. These missions are either focused on one other Rider or multiple Riders.}
'Great, now they're trying to drive a wedge between us,' Luz thought. A Mole among them would cause them to suspect and distrust each other, which would affect their teamwork.
{After each mission, you all will be given the chance to vote on who you believe to be the Mole. The vote is majority rule, so if more than fifty percent of you vote on a single player, that player is automatically Retired. A player who wins a mission will be granted immunity but they can still vote to eliminate the Mole. So work hard to raise your ranking.}
The blank screen displayed the rule:
[Rule #255: After each mission, there will be a vote to eliminate a player. The winner of a mission will be given immunity and cannot be voted out. However, they may still vote out any player they choose.]
"I have a question. What happens if we don't discover who the Mole is?" Marcy inquired.
{Failure to discern the true identity of the Mole when only two players remain will result in the automatic victory for the Mole, whoever they may be.}
"WHAT?!" Sasha exclaimed. "That's total bullshit! What about my fight with Noceda?! You said you would allow us to have one final duel to see who becomes the God of Desire!"
{And you will have your duel, Soaron. However, that all depends on whether or not you can discover and expose the Mole beforehand. You're all free to suspect each other, you're all even free to vote off Oscura if you feel as if she is the Mole. But then again, Soaron, that would snatch away your chance of combating her. And yet, it would also put you one step closer to getting your wish granted. Would it not?}
"You son of a bitch…" Sasha growled as she clenched her jaw.
"So, basically…" Boscha glared with glee at Luz. "We can pick and choose who the Mole is, anyone of us, and even if they aren't, they'll get eliminated regardless?"
{That is correct. So keep your eyes on your fellow players. One of them could be planning to backstab you as we speak.}
[Rule #256: If the "Mole" is not discovered when two players remain, the player who is the designated "Mole" will automatically be crowned the God of Desire and have their wish granted.]
The Riders were now on edge. There was someone amongst them whose job would be to sabotage the other players' chances at getting their individual wishes. If they manage to make it until the end of the season, they would be rewarded by being crowned the God of Desire and have their wish granted.
Marcy glanced between her fellow Riders. She knew that Sasha and Luz had the same wish as she did. She wasn't sure about Amity's, but hoped it was similar to theirs. She had no idea what Masha would wish for, and she definitely didn't want to have Boscha get whatever twisted wish she had in mind.
{Oh, and one more thing.}
"Titan please, no more," Amity groaned.
{Until the final round, all Riders will live in the Desire Temple.}
"WHAAAAAT?!" everyone yelled.
"You mean we have to stay here!?" Boscha cried. What would she tell her moms?
{If you are concerned about your families and loved ones noticing your absence, do not worry. We have crafted appropriate excuses to be sent to each of your homes in order to explain your lengthy absences. You may still contact them as well, as long as you use the excuses we have provided for you. We will handle the rest.}
[Rule #257: All competing Riders will live inside the Desire Temple until the conclusion of the current season of the Desire Grand Prix.]
Confessional: Luz Noceda/Oscura
"So, now we're all stuck here until the end of the season. Well, the good news is that I've got Amity, Masha and Marcy on my side. The bad news is that I've still got Sasha and Boscha who are gunning for me. I wouldn't put it past Boscha to try and kill me in my sleep. Oh, and now I have to say goodbye to my privacy. These cameras are gonna be watching us all the time now."
Luz groaned dejectedly.
"Great, now that means Amity and I can't…" Luz looked at the camera. "Oh, you thought you were going to see some hot girl-on-girl action while we're here, huh? Ha! Dream on, you pervs."
Confessional: Sasha Waybright/Soaron
"Looks like I'm staying here full-time until the end of the season or when I get eliminated. Would be nice if I wasn't sharing the same space with Noceda 24/7. Well, now I have full access to their facilities. They've got a gym here, did you know that? I need to call my dad, too. He can help explain to Mom why I'm going to be gone for a while. Sheesh, these DGP guys really love causing drama, don't they?"
Confessional: Marcy Wu/Newtonne
"Wow, these guys are really leaning into the reality TV format, aren't they? Living in the same place, completing missions, getting voted out...and being watched by cameras..." Marcy began to sweat as she looked around paranoid. "That will be watching everything we do."
Confessional: Boscha Barbtalóne/Red-Pan
"I would say this is probably the best chance I'll ever get at killing Oscura in her sleep. But something tells me you guys are going to be watching our every move so, ugh, she gets to live, for now."
Boscha's cheeks tinted red for a moment.
"But…it will give me a chance to get closer to Amity. Maybe finally break whatever hold that monster has on her. Or, maybe I should remind Amity why I'm the best?"
{BOOOOOOOO!}
"OH, SHUT UP!"
Confessional: Masha DeLisle/Kurma
"Yeah, they dropped a bomb with the whole Mole thing, but now we're all gonna have to live together. I mean, I feel like I lucked out. I get to hang around with three hot girls, and one cute nerdy girl for the rest of the game."
Masha sighed.
"Although, I am gonna miss spending time with Vee. My cute little basilisk, this is all for you, babe."
{Awwwwwwwww.}
Confessional: Amity Blight/Gato
"This is definitely not good. I'm going to be putting up as many protection wards as I can over my room and door, and sleep with my Driver on. So long as Boscha's going to be around, I'm not letting my guard down even once! I'll need to put wards up for Luz too, oh and Masha and Marcy as well."
A stray thought crossed her mind that made Amity facepalm.
"Oh, Titan. Now I'm not going to be able to shower without worrying she's going to come in and try something!"
"Look at the bright side, guys. Mr. Butler will be making our meals throughout our stay and he is an awesome cook!" Marcy said, trying to be positive.
Luz, Amity, Sasha, and even Boscha, nodded in agreement. Despite their current situation, none could deny that Mr. Butler's culinary skills were top-notch, probably as good or better than any professional chef in either world.
{You will have forty-eight hours to get your things together for your stay, and at least one more night in your own beds, to properly explain why you are leaving for so long. See you soon, Riders.}
The holographic screen disappeared.
"Well then, Riders, I will see you in a couple of days," said Tsumuri as she took her leave.
"Hey, Amity, maybe we can–?" Boscha started.
"Do not finish that sentence, Boscha. If you know what's good for you, you'll keep a good distance from us during our stay here, or Titan help me..." Amity warned.
"Mi amor, cálmate. Estaré aquí, así que no te preocupes, (My love, calm down. I'll be here, so don't worry.)," said Luz as she placed her hands on Amity's shoulders.
"Lo sé, pero no puedo bajar la guardia a su alrededor. (I know, but I can't let my guard down around her.)," Amity replied.
"Y no te culpo. (And I don't blame you.)"
Boscha leaned close to Sasha.
"What the hell is that strange language?" Boscha asked. "Are they casting spells?"
"No, it's Spanish. They talk like that to each other so that we can't understand what they're saying," Sasha answered.
"Tch, of course, the secret language of Oscura."
"You know, Oscura is actually a word in that same language that means 'dark'."
"Why am I not surprised?" snarked Boscha.
"Oye, Lumity, si vamos a regresar, volvamos juntos. (Hey, Lumity, if we're heading back, let's go back together.)," Masha suggested.
"Wait, they know how to speak it too?!" Boscha cried.
"Huh? Oh, yeah. Vee learned it from Cam-Cam, Luz's mom, and I decided to learn it too. Now I can talk to my girlfriend in two different languages and make her squeal in two different languages, too," Masha explained with a grin.
"Okay, that's enough." Luz got behind Masha and started pushing them towards the exit. "I don't need any more information regarding your and my sister's bedroom activities."
"Awww~ c'mon, I know you're curious~"
"No, we're not," Luz and Amity answered in unison as they managed to push Masha through the exit before dissolving into blue pixels and vanishing.
"Ooookay, with that said, I'm going back home. Later, Sash," said Marcy as she left.
'Hmm, living under the same roof as Mar-Mar? Guess it's not all that bad then,' Sasha thought while cracking a smile.
Pirate Game Results
Masha DeLisle/Kurma (WINNER)
Luz Noceda/Oscura
Amity Blight/Gato
Sasha Waybright/Soaron
Boscha Barbtalóne/Red-Pan
Marcy Wu/Newtonne
Dr. Ex: The mid-season debut introduces a new set of rules for the players of the DGP. As this follows a reality TV format, we'll have challenges and a voting session to eliminate players. Now, there are the rules again.
There is a Mole among the players who will sabotage them. After each mission, players can vote off who they suspect is the Mole.
The player who wins the mission is given immunity and cannot be voted off. However, they can still vote for others to be eliminated.
If one player and the Mole remain, the Mole automatically wins and is crowned the God of Desire.
So, yeah, we're basically using the Dezastar from Kamen Rider Geats. Now, when you review, could you guys suggest who the Mole could be?
