Sunset's Journey

by Alphajeager1

S2E4 The Uninvited One

Vergil stood on top of the tower as the day finished turning to night. He held the Yamato Katana behind his back as Arkham read his book off to the side. “Looks like we have an uninvited guest,” he commented.

Arkham turned to the next page in his book, not interested in the slightest. “Is that so?”

“A human, a woman,” continued Vergil.

Now Vergil had Arkham’s attention. The man closed his book and got up from the statue he was sitting on. “I’m afraid I should ask the uninvited one to leave,” he walked over to Vergil. “That is what you want,” it was a statement, not a question. After getting no answer he continued. “Actually, I happen to be acquainted with that woman,” he turned and walked away. “A storm is approaching.”

With the other Kamen Riders.

Dante, Sunset and her Gem Maiden Servants had just arrived in the Chamber of Echoes.

Sunset tilted her head to the side. “That has got to be by far the ugliest statue I have ever seen,” she was looking at a statue in the centre of the chamber’s floor. The four skeletal angels that made it up looked to be smirking. She could have sworn they were smirking at her.

“You won’t be getting any argument from me,” replied Dante as he held his right hand in front of his belt buckle. DRIVER ON! The magic circle appeared and transformed his belt buckle into the Gate Driver.

Sunset stared at the statue for a few more seconds before shaking it off and holding her right hand in front of her belt buckle. DRIVER ON PLEASE! The magic circle appeared in front of her belt buckle, transforming it into the Wizard Driver.

Gilda swiped her right hand across her waist from right to left, making the Weapon Driver appear around her waist. She slotted the Crescent Rose Whistle into its slot. C-R-E-S-C-E-N-T R-O-S-E!

Lightning Dust stepped up to Gilda’s left and held out her hands. The Dust Knuckle appeared in her left hand and the Fire Dust Whistle appeared in her right hand. She slotted the Whistle into the Dust Knuckle. F-I-R-E D-U-S-T!

Lyra swiped her left hand over her waist from left to right, making the Grimm Driver appear on her waist in a burst of black mist. Then she held out her right hand and the Beowulf Whistle appeared in another flash of black mist. She slammed the Whistle into the Grimm Driver. B-E-O-W-U-L-F!

Bon Bon stood up to Lyra’s right and held out both of her hands. The Aura Knuckle appeared in her right hand and the Rose Speed Whistle blasted into her left hand. She slotted the Aura Whistle into the Aura Knuckle. R-O-S-E S-P-E-E-D!

Lightning Dust pressed the right side of the Dust Knuckle into her right palm, while Bon Bon slammed the left side of the Aura Knuckle into her left palm. R-E-A-D-Y!

Pinkie Pie and Applejack crossed their arms into the air and then threw them down to their sides. Silver chains wrapped around their waists before transforming into the Mega Driver for Pinkie and the X Driver for Applejack.

Pinkie Pie drew the Fire Tune Whistle, she inserted it into the Mega Driver and pressed down. FIRE TUNE! A pair of chains came out of the Mega Driver, they stabbed into Fluttershy and Rarity's chests. Neither girls made a sound as their bodies were broken down into quicksilver and pulled along the chains.

Applejack pulled out the Water Tune Whistle and slotted it into the X Driver’s mouth before pressing down on it. WATER TUNE! A pair of silver chains shot out of the X Driver, they stabbed into the chest of Twilight Sparkle and Rainbow Dash. Neither of the girls even blinked as their bodies were turned into quicksilver and pulled along the chains towards Applejack.

“HENSHIN!” shouted Dante and Sunset.

“Henshin,” droned Sunset’s Gem Maiden servants.

Dante punched the Rebellion Ring into the Gate Driver’s left slot and turned his wrist forward, making the gate spring open and the Rebellion magic circle appeared from within the Gate Driver. SET! OPEN! R-E-B-E-L-L-I-O-N! The magic circle moved back through Dante, transforming him into Kamen Rider Dante Rebellion Style. Then Dante punched the Falco Trickster Ring into the Gate Driver’s right slot. FALCO! GO! T-T-T-TRICKSTER! He held his right arm out to the side as the Falco Trickster magic circle appeared to his right and moved through him. His right shoulder pauldron transformed into the Falco Trickster Mantle.

Sunset pressed the Wizard Driver’s left Shift Lever, switching its Hand Author to the left side before scanning the Active Ring across it. MAGICAL TOUCH HENSHIN! ACTIVE PLEASE! LET’S GO! She held her hand out to the side as the Active magic circle appeared and moved through her, transforming the teenage girl into Kamen Rider Symbol Active Style.

Lightning Dust slotted the right side of the Dust Knuckle into the left side of the Weapon Driver. F-I-S-T O-N! The holographic suit of armour appeared, it slammed into both her and Gilda. In a flash of light, the two of them were combined into Kamen Rider Weapon.

Bon Bon rammed the left side of the Aura Knuckle into the right side of the Grimm Driver. F-I-S-T O-N! The holographic suit of armour warped in and moved back. It slammed into herself and Lyra, in a flash of black mist they were combined into Kamen Rider Grimm. Her body let loose a burst of red rose petals as the cross on her faceplate opened, revealing her twin circle shaped red visor.

The quicksilver finished its travel along the chains, the liquid metal washed over the bodies of Pinkie and Applejack, clinging to their skin. Their silhouettes visibly shifted before the quicksilver exploded off them, revealing Kamen Rider Mega, Fire Tune and Kamen Rider X Water Tune.

“Let’s go this way!” ordered Dante, they ran up a stairway to the left, only to come to a door that was blocked by flames. This was clearly not normal fire as it burned both black and red at the same time.

“We’re not going to get through there anytime soon,” muttered Symbol. MAGICAL TOUCH HENSHIN! GIGA PLEASE! BREAK THROUGH! Suddenly, the Giga magic circle appeared under her boots and rose up through her, transforming her into the Giga Style.

“Why’d you transform?” asked Dante.

“That’s the thing, I didn’t!” explained Symbol.

“I did it so I could come out,” a small Giga magic circle appeared and the Cerberus Phantom Familiar jumped through it. “You will need a key, an object of power that contains a counter charge to those flames, in order to get through that door.”

“Thanks,” thanked Symbol.

Dante just nodded.

Another Giga magic circle appeared and the Giga Axe dropped out of it, into Symbol’s gloves. “What on earth?” asked Symbol. Suddenly, the Cerberus Phantom Familiar jumped off her shoulder pauldron and onto the Giga Axe, there was a bright flash of light.

“Woah!” shouted Dante.

When the light cleared, the Giga Axe had clearly changed. The handle was now white and looked like a dog’s tail with chains engraved into it. It had lost its Hand Author, in its place was a smaller version of the collar the Cerberus Phantom had worn. It’s axe head was coloured green and had a Cerberus head engraved onto it in white. Opposite it was a green war hammerhead, with a white dog’s head engraved onto it. Coming out of the end of the Giga Axe was a green spear head with a white Cerberus head engraved into it.

This is the Giga Cerberus.

“So I have an upgraded weapon in this form now? Cool!” commented Symbol.

“I want one,” whined Dante.

MAGICAL TOUCH HENSHIN! ACTIVE PLEASE! LET’S GO! “You’ve already got one stupid,” replied Symbol as they raced up a slope that was built into the side of the chamber before coming to a hole that was far too big to jump.

“Guess we’re going this way,” commented Dante as they dropped down through the gap and onto the slope that was under the one they were just on.

“I guess so,” replied Symbol.

“Are you ok?” asked Dante after several minutes of silence. “You seem different.”

“Dante, I just found out that I’ve been missing for years! I had to fight my way through a dimension that looked like hell and saw our mother die in my arms and that was after killing a fake you and Kate! How do you think I feel?!” she took a deep breath. “Sorry for snapping but I just-”

“Feel awful for making me and Vergil think you were dead?” asked Dante as they reached a blue door.

Symbol nod

Dante ruffled her helmet. “It’s fine baby sister.”

“Hey!” shouted Symbol as she raced after Dante, through the door and onto a spiral staircase.

Right into a horde of Pride Phantoms.

“I should have seen this coming!” muttered Symbol as she switched the Active Ring for the Giga Ring and pressed down on the Wizard Driver’s left Shift Lever before scanning the Giga Ring. MAGICAL TOUCH HENSHIN! GIGA PLEASE! BREAK THROUGH! The Giga magic circle appeared under her boots and rose up through her. Symbol held out her right glove and a smaller Giga magic circle appeared as the Giga Axe dropped out of it. “Come Giga Cerberus!” ordered Symbol.

“Yes my Mistress,” another Giga magic circle appeared on the floor as the Cerberus Phantom Familiar rose out of it. It leaped across the ground, freezing and shattering a Pride Phantom as it leapt onto the Giga Axe. There was a flash of artic blue light as he combined with the Giga Axe to form the Giga Cerberus.

She aimed the tip of the spear at the ground, suddenly the Wizard Driver started to glow. SMASH THE ICE! A magic circle appeared under her boots. It was identical to the Giga magic circle, only the circle parts were white and the centre of it held an image of an artic white Cerberus. “What on earth?!” shouted Symbol as the magic circle rose up through her, transforming her into a block of ice.

“SUNSET!” shouted Dante as he kicked a Pride Phantom away.

The ice cracked a shattered, revealing that Kamen Rider Symbol had transformed into a new form.

Her helmet had turned icy white, her faceplate was still an orange square, with black iron outlines that had runes engraved into them. In the centre of her faceplate’s forehead was a bronze square. Her bodysuit was pitched black and the outside of the torso, legs and arms were green. Her shoulders pauldrons each looked like one of the Cerberus Phantom’s heads, the left was in the shape of the green eyed head and the right pauldron looked like the blue eyed head. Her chest armour was in the shape of a green square, with a neon green G in the centre of it that was within the jaws of the Cerberus Phantom’s red eyed head, which was engraved into the chestplate. Her forearm armour was green and thick. The armour on the back of her gloves and the armour that lined her fingers were both green, but the armour that lined her knuckles was icy blue and looked like icicles. Her shin armour and boots were green, however, her anklets and bracelets had turned icy white, with the stone in the centre of them being icy blue. The outside of her robe was now icy blue with the inside being green and the piping coloured icy white. She was now Kamen Rider Symbol Giga Cerberus Style.

“Whoa!” commented Dante.

“I’m going to enjoy using this!” shouted Symbol as she hit the Wizard Driver’s left Shift Lever once and scanned her left glove across the Driver’s Hand Author, then she spun the Giga Cerberus so that the collar part was in front of her Driver. MAGICAL TOUCH SPELL! GIGA CERBERUS C RANK SPELL! Artic white energy gathered around the hammer part of the Giga Cerberus. She spun it around a couple of times before slamming it on the ground. There was a flash of white light and the Pride Phantom that had been about to attack her, slamming into the cube of ice that had flash formed.

“That looked painful,” commented Dante.

“It’s about to get a whole lot worse!” shouted Symbol as she pressed the Wizard Driver’s left Shift Lever once and then scanned the Giga Ring across its Hand Author. MAGICAL TOUCH SPELL! GIGA C RANK SPELL! Symbol held up her right glove and curled it into a fist before punching the ice cube. There was a shockwave of green magical energy as the ice cube was sent sliding along the ground and crushed the Pride Phantom against a wall.

“Here we go!” Symbol pressed the Wizard Driver’s left Shift Lever twice and then scanned the Giga Ring across it’s Hand Author. She held the Giga Cerberus horizontal so that the collar was in front of her Driver. MAGICAL TOUCH SPELL! GIGA CERBERUS B RANK SPELL! Symbol covered the axe head of the Giga Cerberus in arctic white energy before slamming it into the ground. This action fired a line of ice spikes that stabbed into a pair of Pride Phantoms, freezing the both of them solid.

“Let’s do it!” Symbol hit the Wizard Driver’s left Shift Lever twice and then scanned the Giga Ring across her Driver’s Hand Author. MAGICAL TOUCH SPELL! GIGA B RANK SPELL! Green magical energy coated her right fist as she pulled it back and punched the ground. “Ha!” firing a vertical line of green energy that cut through the ice spikes and caused the two trapped Pride Phantoms to be pelted with shards of ice. Sparks came from the hundreds of impact points before the two Phantoms exploded.

Then Symbol saw a final Pride Phantom racing towards her and punched down on the Wizard Driver’s left Shift Lever three times. She held the Giga Cerberus downwards so that the collar was in front of her Driver. MAGICAL TOUCH SPELL! GIGA CERBERUS A RANK SPELL! Arctic white energy swirled around the spear part of the Giga Cerberus. Symbol pulled it back and stabbed the spear tip into the Pride Phantom as it slashed down on her right shoulder pauldron, doing no damage. The Phantom was frozen over in less than a second and unable to move.

Then Symbol pressed the Wizard Driver’s left Shift Lever three times and swiped her left glove across her Driver’s Hand Author. MAGICAL TOUCH SPELL! GIGA A RANK SPELL! She covered her body in green magical energy and ran forwards, hugging the frozen Phantom. Cracks spread through the Phantom before it was crushed and shattered under the intense pressure.

“That was one odd finishing move,” muttered Dante as he jumped away from another Pride Phantom and parkour ran up a wall. “Now I’ve got to try this out!” he slid the Cerberus Ring onto his left ring finger, before moving the Rebellion Ring onto his left index finger. The Gate Driver’s left slot split in half, transforming into a pair of slots. Dante was about to punch the Rings in when he got a, well, a wrong feeling. “That’s odd,” he switched the Rebellion Ring for the Arbiter Ring, but the feeling just got worse. Dante switched the Arbiter Ring for the Osiris Ring. “I think I get it,” then he switched the Osiris Ring for the Aquila Ring and the feeling went.

“Alright!” he punched the Aquila and Cerberus Rings into the Gate Driver’s left slots. SET! OPEN! A-Q-U-I-L-A! The Aquila magic circle appeared from his Driver and moved back through Dante, transforming him into the Aquila Style. Suddenly, a new magic circle appeared to his left and moved through him. It was arctic blue with the image of Cerberus in the centre of it. As it passed through Dante the Aquila Stars transformed. Now they were in the shape of a triple nunchaku. It was three arctic white rods connected to an arctic blue ring back chains of the same colour. At the end of each rod was a pick like point and at the top of the ring was a Ring port. This is the Aquila Cerberus.

A Pride Phantom rushed towards Dante as he punched the Aquila and Cerberus Rings into the Aquila Cerberus Ring Port. ONE! SHURIKEN STRIKE! The Aquila Cerberus shifted so that all three rods were connected in a long line. He swung the weapon out and smacked the Pride Phantom across the face sending him stumbling backward.

The Phantom recovered and ran at Dante again. Only for the Kamen Rider to punch the Aquila and Cerberus Rings into the Aquila Cerberus Ring Port again. TWO! SHURIKEN STRIKE! The weapon shifted back into its original form as Dante spun around in the air. He picked up speed before he slammed the Aquila Cerberus down. “Ha!” the Pride Phantom’s guard was broken and it was smashed into the ground, painfully.

“Lunch time!” Then Dante punched the Aquila and Cerberus Rings into the Aquila Cerberus Ring Port. THREE! SHURIKEN STRIKE! Dante spun the weapon in front of him like a windmill. It hit the Pride Phantom several times, making sparks explode off the Phantom as it was hit over and over. The Phantom staggered back before it went up in an explosion.

“That’s how it's done!” stated Dante smugly.

“Enough grandstanding!” shouted Symbol as she raced past Dante, up the stairs and into the next room with the others right behind her.

They arrived in a room with several walkways around it and a glowing orb inside of a metal cage.

Suddenly, several statues started moving and transformed into Enigma Phantoms that started to shoot arrows at them.

“Look out!” shouted Symbol as they dove out of the way.

Battle Start!

Symbol jumped off the walkway and down towards the floor. She punched down on the Wizard Driver’s left Shift Lever four times and then scanned the Giga Ring across her Driver’s Hand Author. She held the Giga Cerberus vertical so that the collar was in front of her Driver. MAGICAL TOUCH GO! VERY NICE! GIGA! S RANK SPELL! THE BEST! Symbol let arctic white energy wrap around the Giga Cerberus as she smashed the hammer down, into the ground firing a line of ice spikes. She slashed upwards, firing a crescent of arctic ice. Then she stabbed forwards, shooting a beam of white energy. All three attacks shot forwards and formed into a Cerberus Phantom construct. “Cerberus Howl!” all three attacks struck an Enigma Phantom as the construct bite down on them, causing the three Phantoms to explode.

Suddenly, sparks exploded from her body as three more Enigma Phantoms shot at her from the top walkway. “Sorry Cerberus, but there’s no way you can reach that high,” apologized Symbol as she slid the Bombardment and Quake Rings onto her right glove and hit the Wizard Driver’s right Shift Lever before scanning her right glove across her Driver’s Hand Author. ERROR!

“What?! ARGH!” sparks exploded from her body as she was hit by the same three Phantoms.

“Sunset!” shouted Dante. “This is not a good time for your powers to stop working!” he shouted down at his sister.

“You think I don’t know that?!” demanded Symbol “I just have no clue what's- what the?!” the Rings vanished as the Punch Drill Terra and Quake Rings appeared. They slid themselves onto her right index, middle, ring and little fingers. “It can’t be,” muttered Symbol as she pressed down on the Wizard Driver’s right Shift Lever and scanned her right glove. MAGIC TOUCHIE HENSHIN! PUNCH DRILL TERRA QUAKE PLEASE! The three magic circles appeared under her boots and rose up through her.

Symbol’s chest plate now bore four logos in a square shape. The top right corner was a dark red fist, the upper left corner was a dark purple drill, the bottom left corner was a dark brown tank tread and the logo in the bottom right corner was an orange crack. They were connected by a neon green square with each logo forming a corner. Her forearm armour was now red and the bracelets had turned silver. The armour on the back of her gloves was purple with dark brown outlines. Coming out of each knuckle was a short purple drill and emerging from either side of her bracelets was a pair of dark brown tank treads, they were positioned to guard each side of her gloves. On each gauntlet was an orange cylinder that was shaped as a thick cylinder and wrapped around her lower arm.

Symbol quickly pressed the Wizard Driver’s right Shift Lever twice then scanned her right glove across her Driver’s Hand Author. MAGIC TOUCHIC GO! PUNCH MAGIC PLEASE! The right Drilling Punch Cutter burst into flames as she ran towards one of the Enigma Phantoms. She pulled back her fist and punched the Phantom, smoke came from the impact point as the Phantom was sent flying back on fire and exploded.

Then Symbol jumped into the air, she grabbed onto a walkway and saw an Enigma Phantom on the floor take aim at her. She hit the Wizard Driver’s right Shift Lever twice and scanned her right glove across Driver’s Hand Author. MAGIC TOUCHIC GO! DRILL MAGIC PLEASE! The Drills on her right knuckles started to spin as she let go and dropped down. “Take this!” the drills on her knuckles started to spin as she punched down, smashing the Phantom under them.

Another Enigma Phantom took aim and fired a red arrow at Symbol. It clipped her in the chest plate and she spun around. She hit the Wizard Driver’s right Shift Lever three times. MAGIC TOUCHIC GO! TERRA MAGIC PLEASE! The chain tread started up as she spun around and fired a black tank tread construct. It roared through the air and slashed sparks out of the Enigma Phantom until said Phantom went up in a large explosion.

Symbol looked up and saw three blue arrows shooting through the air and coming down towards her. She pressed down on the Wizard Driver’s right Shift Lever four times before scanning her right glove across her Driver’s Hand Author. MAGIC TOUCHIC GO! QUAKE MAGIC PLEASE! Symbol pulled back her fists as she pistons primed. Then she punched forwards. “Ha!” firing a pair of orange bolts that lanced through the air and struck two of the arrows, shattering them. Another energy bolt solved the problem of the third arrow.

Then another energy bolt slammed into the Enigma Phantom that had fired the arrows, blasting it off the walkway and sending it crashing into the ground where it exploded.

Grimm pressed the left side of the Aura Knuckle into the right side of the Grimm Driver twice. B-E-O-W-U-L-F T-E-A-R-I-N-G! Black mist surrounded her boots they shifted into Beowulf legs and feet. R-O-S-E S-P-E-E-D B-A-T-T-L-E! One of the Enigma Phantoms was surrounded by rose petals before being slash across the back several times by a red streak and exploding.

Grimm removed the Aura Knuckle from the Grimm Driver and switched out the Beowulf Whistle for the Bergingel Whistle. B-E-R-I-N-G-E-L! She pressed the left side of the Aura Knuckle into her left palm. R-E-A-D-Y! Then she slammed it back into the Grimm Driver. F-I-S-T O-N! The holographic suit of armour appeared in front of her and slammed into her, transforming the Beowulf on her chest plate into a Beringel.

Grimm pressed the left side of the Aura Knuckle into the right side of the Grimm Driver twice. B-E-R-I-N-G-E-L T-E-A-R-I-N-G! Black mist covered her right glove and when it cleared she was holding a banana. R-O-S-E S-P-E-E-D B-A-T-T-L-E! Grimm threw the banana at another Enigma Phantom. This one was smarter than the others and sniped it out of the air. Only for the Banana to split in two, both of which slammed bounce off the Enigma Phantom and exploded.

Grimm removed the Aura Knuckle from the Grimm Driver and switched the Beringel Whistle for the Nevermore Whistle. N-E-V-E-R-M-O-R-E! She slammed the left side of the Aura Knuckle into her left palm. R-E-A-D-Y! Then she slotted it back onto the right side of the Grimm Driver. F-I-S-T O-N! The holographic suit of armour appeared in front of her and slammed into her. There was a flash of black mist as the Beringel on her chest plate transformed into a Nevermore.

Then Grimm smashed the left side of the Aura Knuckle into the right side of the Grimm Driver. N-E-V-E-R-M-O-R-E B-I-T-I-N-G! She held out her right glove and in a burst of black mist the Nevermore Bowgun appeared in her glove. R-O-S-E S-P-E-E-D A-T-T-A-C-K! Grimm took aim at the Phantom and fired a single bolt of energy that split into several dozen. The Enigma Phantom tried, but was unable to shoot the dozens of bolts out of the air. Most of them slammed into the Phantom and caused sparks to explode from the impact points before the Phantom fell over and exploded. Grimm was silhouetted in the flames of the explosion. “Mission clear!” she stated.

Battle ended.

“Wait” They looked at Cerberus, who was speaking.

“You can still talk?!” demanded Symbol.

“Yes, you will need another item from another room to open the cage,” replied Cerberus.

“Let’s get going then,” said Dante.

They ran through a door and into the next room. “Doesn’t having ice powers in your giga form make your ice ring a bit useless?” he asked.

Symbol twitched as she hit the damaged wheel with the Giga Cerberus, making its points light up. “Why do I get the feeling that you just tempted fate and I’m gonna get another power up in this tower that will change both my active style and that Ring?”

Dante winched. “Because you know how crazy our lives are.”

“Yep,” replied Symbol as the statues on the elevator came to life. They looked like knights wearing simple silver armour and wielding a pair of swords.

These are the Pawn Phantoms.

They marched forward as Symbol pressed the Wizard Driver’s left Shift Lever four times before scanning her left glove across its Hand Author. MAGICAL TOUCH GO! VERY NICE! GIGA! S RANK SPELL! THE BEST! Symbol held her gloves together and formed a ball of ice between them. She slammed her gloves into the ice, coating her drills and cutters with white arctic energy. She ran forwards as slashed one of Phantoms with the cutters on her left glove, before punching another Pawn Phantom with her right fist. “Arctic Attack!” ice spread over both of the Phantoms before sparks exploded from their bodies and they crumbled into pieces which then exploded.

“Let’s see if this still works,” Symbol switched the Drill Ring for the Hammer Ring and pressed down on the Wizard Driver’s right Shift Lever before scanning her right glove across her Driver’s Hand Author. MAGIC TOUCHIE HENSHIN! PUNCH HAMMER TERRA QUAKE PLEASE! She held her right glove down to the ground as the Hammer magic circle appeared under her boots and rose up through her.

The Drill logo on the top left corner of her chest plate turned into the black hammer logo. Her forearm armour turned back to normal as a large metal gauntlet appeared on her left forearm. It was coloured black with a black cutter on either side of the glove and an orange cylinder shaped piston coming out of the back of it. This is the Hammer Impact Gauntlet.

A Pawn Phantom dashed towards Symbol with its sword dawn as she pressed down on the Wizard Driver’s right Shift Lever once and scanned her right glove over her Driver’s Hand Author. MAGIC TOUCHIC GO! PUNCH MAGIC PLEASE! Symbol pulled back her left fist and punched forward. Sparks exploded from the Pawn Phantom as both of the cutters bit into it, the piston fired and five holes were blown through the Phantom as it exploded in a giant fireball.

Then Symbol hit the Wizard Driver’s right Shift Lever twice before scanning her right glove across her Driver’s Hand Author. MAGIC TOUCHIC GO! HAMMER MAGIC PLEASE! Symbol pulled back the Hammer Impact Gauntlet and punched the ground. The piston fired and the ground shook, stopping the Pawn Phantom in its tracks as it struggled to remain upright.

“Take this!” roared Symbol as she pressed the Wizard Driver’s right Shift Lever three times before holding her right glove in front of her Driver’s Hand Author. MAGIC TOUCHIC GO! TERRA MAGIC PLEASE! The cutters on either side of the Hammer Impact Gauntlet’s hands glowed with black energy as Symbol closed the distance between herself and the staggered Pawn Phantom, she slashed around, cutting the Phantom in half and causing it to explode.

Symbol pulled back the Hammer Impact Gauntlet and hit the Wizard Driver’s right Shift Lever four times as a pair of Pawn Phantoms charged at her. MAGIC TOUCHIC GO! QUAKE MAGIC PLEASE! She slammed the Hammer Impact Gauntlet into the ground and fired a line of energy along it. The line rose out of the ground and transformed into a pair of vertical energy blades. They cut through both of the Pawn Phantoms, leaving a vertical line through them. Energy built up in the line before the Phantoms exploded.

Then Symbol pressed down on the Wizard Driver’s left Shift Lever once and scanned the Giga Ring across her Driver’s Hand Author. She held the Giga Cerberus vertical and scanned the collar across her Driver’s Hand Author. MAGICAL TOUCH SPELL! GIGA CERBERUS C RANK SPELL! Symbol covered the Hammer part of the Giga Cerberus in purple energy as she pulled it back and slammed it into the ground, firing a line of drills through the ground. They tore along in the line, drilling through three Pawn Phantom which then fell over and exploded.

Weapon pressed the right side of the Dust Knuckle into the left side of the Weapon Driver once. S-W-O-R-D! In a flash of white light, a white boardsword with a golden grip appeared in her right glove. F-I-R-E D-U-S-T C-H-A-R-G-E! Weapon stabbed the Knight Sword into the ground and fired a line of flame along the ground. It slammed into a Pawn Phantom and cut it in half. Sparks exploded from the cut before the Pawn Phantom went up in an explosion.

Suddenly, another Pawn Phantom jumped off the elevator and slashed Weapon with an overhead slash. She stepped back as spark emerged from her chest armour. She clicked the right side of the Dust Knuckle into the left side of the Weapon Driver twice. S-H-I-E-L-D! There was a bright flash of light as a kite shield with golden outlines appeared in her left glove. F-I-R-E D-U-S-T P-O-W-E-R-E-D! She planted the tip of the Kite Shield into the ground, summoning a barrier of fire that forced the Pawn Phantom to back off.

Behind her barrier, Weapon removed the Dust Knuckle from the left side of the Weapon Driver. Then she switched the Crocea Mors Whistle for the Ember Celica Whistle. E-M-B-E-R C-E-L-I-C-A! She pressed the right side of the Dust Knuckle into her right palm. R-E-A-D-Y! Before she slotted the Dust Knuckle back into the Weapon Driver. F-I-S-T O-N! The holographic suit of armour flew out and slammed into her, transforming the white sword and golden kite shield on her chest plate into a yellow gauntlet and red shotgun. Her body released a blast of fire as the cross on her faceplate opened, revealing both of her blue circle shaped visors.

The barrier of fire came down and the Pawn Phantom charged back in as Weapon pressed the right side of the Dust Knuckle into the left side of the Weapon Driver. G-A-U-N-T-L-E-T-S! The Ember Celica Gauntlets appeared around her forearm guards in twin flashes of yellow light. F-I-R-E D-U-S-T C-H-A-R-G-E! Her fists grew hot as she dashed forward and punched the Pawn Phantom in the gut. It’s armour cracked as it was sent flying backwards from the force of the punch.

Then Weapon pressed the right side of the Dust Knuckle into the left side of the Weapon Driver. S-H-O-T-G-U-N! There was a mechanical shifting sound as the Ember Celica Gauntlets shifted into their ranged mode. F-I-R-E D-U-S-T P-O-W-E-R-E-D!

Weapon pressed the right side of the Dust Knuckle into the left side of the Weapon Driver three times. E-M-B-E-R C-E-L-I-C-A R-I-S-E U-P! Weapon covered both of her fists in golden flames before gathering the fire into a ball that floated in front of her. She punched it, transforming the fireball into a long Chinese Dragon that flew through the air and bit down on the Phantom, making it explode. “Mission clear,” spoke Kamen Rider Weapon.

“Let’s get going!” shouted Symbol as they all jumped onto the elevator and it took them up to the next floor.

They found themselves in front of a bridge over a short drop. Before they were able to do anything, a barrier sprung up as a new type of Phantom arose.

They looked like Pride Phantoms, expect their cloaks were in much better condition and their scythe’s were jagged.

These are the Gluttony Phantoms.

Suddenly, Symbol saw one of them take in a large breath. “Look out!” she shoved the others out of the way and was hit by a blast of sand that made sparks fly out of her body.

“SUNSET!” shouted Dante.

“I’m fine!” shouted Symbol as she hit the Wizard Driver’s left Shift Lever four times. MAGICAL TOUCH GO! VERY NICE! GIGA! S RANK SPELL! THE BEST! Then she scanned her left glove across her Driver’s Hand Author. “Rammer Hammer!” Symbol punched the ground and the Piston on the Hammer Impact Gauntlet fired, creating a quake that knocked one of the Glutton Phantoms to lose its balance. It staggered as Symbol dashed forwards, the cutters extended as she sliced the Phantom in half. Both halves sparked before exploding.

Suddenly, a new Ring formed in front of Symbol. It was silver with a green gem in the centre of it that had several dots engraved into it. “Time to switch it up!” Symbol took the new Ring and used it to replace the Terra Ring. Then she hit the Wizard Driver’s right Shift Lever once before scanning her right glove across her Driver’s Hand Author. MAGIC TOUCHIE HENSHIN! PUNCH DRILL HIGH SPEED QUAKE PLEASE! The Drill and a new magic circle appeared under her boots and rose up through her.

The new magic circle was dark green and in the centre of it was an image of several spikes, this is the High Speed magic circle.

As they rose up through Symbol, the hammer logo on the upper left of her chest plate transformed into the drill logo. Meanwhile, the Terra logo in the lower left of her chest plate transformed into a dark green spike logo. The Hammer Impact Gauntlet vanished as red armour formed over her forearm armour. Purple armour formed over the back of her gloves with a small purple drill on each of her knuckles. Black armour formed on the sides of her gloves with a black cutter flanking each side of her gloves. Finally, a circle of dark green spikes emerged from her wristlets. These are the Driller Multiple Impacts.

A Gluttony Phantom fired a blast of sand at Symbol as she pressed the Wizard Driver’s right Shift Lever once and scanned her right glove across her Driver’s Hand Author. MAGIC TOUCHIC GO! PUNCH MAGIC PLEASE! She pulled back her left glove and curled it into a fist as red energy gathered around it. “Ha!” Symbol punched forwards, firing a blast of red energy that dispelled the sand attack.

Then Symbol hit the Wizard Driver’s right Shift Lever twice before holding her right glove in front of her Driver’s Hand Author. MAGIC TOUCHIC GO! DRILL MAGIC PLEASE! The drills on her knuckles started to spin as she shot forwards and punched the Gluttony Phantom in the face. Sparks exploded from the impact points as the Phantom was sent flying back, crashing into a wall in the process.

The Phantom slid down to the ground as Symbol ran forwards, hitting the Wizard Driver’s right Shift Lever and scanning her right glove across her Driver’s Hand Author. MAGIC TOUCHIC GO! HIGH SPEED MAGIC PLEASE! Green energy flowed out of the Driller Multiple Impact’s spikes. The energy formed into a pair of arm constructs that followed the movements of the original arms. Symbol darted forwards and smashed a punch into the Phantom’s stomach. Sparks exploded from the impact point as she uppercutted the Gluttony Phantom in the air, doing even more damage to it.

“This thing is a bit stronger than the rest of the Phantoms we’ve fought so far,” Symbol pointed out.

“I noticed!” shouted Dante.

“Then why didn’t you say anything?!” demanded Symbol.

“You didn’t ask!” Dante shouted back.

“I shouldn’t have to!” Symbol yelled back in reply.

“Why the hell not?!” demanded Dante.

“Just because!” replied Symbol.

“What kind of answer is that?!” demanded Dante.

While they started arguing, Mega continued to fight her own Gluttony Phantom.

Mega dodged as another Enigma Phantom fired an arrow at where she had just been standing. She switched the Fire Tune Whistle for the Liquid Tune Whistle and slotted it into the Mega Driver’s mouth before pressing down on it. LIQUID TUNE! She was covered in a sphere of water that deflected three arrows. The water burst apart, revealing her in the Liquid Tune. She drew a new Whistle, the head of which was in the shape of a tornado and the rest of it was coloured blue. Mega slotted it into the Mega Driver and pressed down on it. AIR SHOOTER! She held her right glove forwards and fired a tornado of water along the ground. It picked up three arrows and threw them back at the Enigma Phantom, its own attack did it in.

Suddenly, Mega noted another Enigma Phantom taking aim at her helmet. She placed her right glove into the Mega Driver’s mouth and it bit down on her glove. AIR SHOOTER BITE! Three tornadoes of water surrounded her, they surged forward and wrapped around the Enigma Phantom, crushing it and causing it to explode from the pressure.

Mega quickly slotted the Light Tune Whistle into the Mega Driver and slammed her glove down on it. LIGHT TUNE! She was surrounded by a barrier of orange light. A red arrow was blocked as the light shattered, revealing the Mega had transformed into the Light Tune. She placed the Ice Slash Whistle into the Mega Driver and hit the top of it. ICE SLASH! She threw her left glove forward and fired an arrowhead of orange light. It shot through the air and pierced the Phantom, causing sparks to erupt from the entrance and exit points.

Then Mega placed her right glove in the Mega Driver’s mouth, causing it to bite down. ICE SLASH BITE! Orange energy was charged into her right glove as she punched the ground. An arrow head of light shot out of the impact point and smashed into the Enigma Phantom, cutting it in half and causing it to explode.

Then Mega slotted the Fire Tune Whistle into the Mega Driver before slamming her right glove down on it. FIRE TUNE! She was covered by a barrier of fire as her body shifted. After several seconds the barrier dispelled and she had been transformed into the Fire Tune. Mega slotted the Super Arm Whistle into the Mega Driver’s mouth and closed the mouth. SUPER ARM! Her left arm grew in size as she punched down into the ground, picked up a rock and threw it. It crushed another Enigma Phantom under its weight.

“Watch it!” shouted Symbol. “You almost hit me!”

“Our apologies, Mistress,” replied Kamen Rider Mega.

“Don’t call me Mistress!” shouted Symbol.

The group ran through the door.

“Hey, we’re back in the Chamber of Echoes!” Symbol pointed out as she looked over the ledge.

“Yeah, you might not want to get that close to the edge,” Dante pointed out.

“Good point,” Symbol backed up as they ran around the ledge and through a yellow door.

They found themselves in a room called the Endless Infernum. The door behind them and the door to their right was sealed by a red barrier. To their left was a narrow stone bridge over a large hole.

“Looks like there’s only one was we can go,” said Dante.

“I don’t like this,” muttered Symbol.

She was ignored by her Brother as he ran onto the bridge.

Symbol rolled her eyes and followed him.

Then the bridge collapsed.

“WHAT THE HELL!” shouted the two siblings as they fell through the air, landing at the bottom of a giant drop.

Several Phantoms were waiting to meet them.

Let the battle begin.

Symbol hit the Wizard Driver’s right Shift Lever four times and then scanned her right glove across her Driver’s Hand Author. MAGIC TOUCHIC GO! QUAKE MAGIC PLEASE! She pulled back the left Driller Multiple Impact before punching the ground, the piston fired and a line of rocks was torn from the ground, sparks exploded from the Sloth Phantom that had just teleported in front of Symbol, making it explode.

Symbol hit her Wizard Driver’s left Shift Lever four times, then she swiped her left glove across her Wizard Driver’s Hand Author. MAGICAL TOUCH GO! VERY NICE! GIGA! S RANK SPELL! THE BEST! Dark green energy raced into the Driller Multiple Impacts as Symbol pulled them back and punched the ground. A line of rocks was torn up and slammed into a Warth Phantom. Sparks exploded from its body, making the bomb on its back explode. Symbol raced forwards and punched a Pride Phantom, causing it to explode as the Wrath Phantom’s explosion took out three Lust Phantoms.

Suddenly, another new Ring appeared in front of Symbol. It was silver with a red gem in the centre of it that had a fire cut into it.

“How many new forms are you going to get?!” demanded Dante as he punched a Lust Phantom in the face.

“I have no clue!” replied Symbol as she switched the Quake Ring for the new Ring. She pressed the Wizard Driver’s right Shift Lever once and scanned her right glove across her Driver’s Hand Author. MAGIC TOUCHIE HENSHIN! PUNCH DRILL HIGH SPEED FURNACE PLEASE! A new magic circle appeared under her boots. It was red and had a fire logo in the centre of it. It rose up through Symbol, transforming her into the new Giga Substyle.

The orange quake logo in the bottom right of her chest armour was replaced by a red flame logo. The Driller Multiple Impacts lost their pistons which were replaced by three red vents on the top of them. These are the Burning Multiple Drills.

A Gluttony Phantom fired his breath attack at her and Symbol pressed the Wizard Driver’s right Shift Lever once before scanning her right glove across her Driver’s Hand Author. MAGIC TOUCHIC GO! PUNCH MAGIC PLEASE! Red energy covered her right glove as she pulled it back, curled it into a fist, then slammed it into the ground. A shockwave of red magical energy burst out of the impact point, stopping the breath attack from reaching Symbol.

The Gluttony Phantom saw this and charged at Symbol with his scythe raised over his head.

Symbol pressed the Wizard Driver’s right Shift Lever twice and then swiped her right glove across her Driver’s Hand Author. MAGIC TOUCHIC GO! DRILL MAGIC PLEASE! The Drills on her left glove’s knuckles started to spin as she pulled back her left fist and punched the ground. Out of which raced a long purple drill. It shot through the air and pierced through the Gluttony Phantom’s stomach. Sparks bled from the entrance and exit points before the Phantom fell over and exploded.

“That’s not fair,” whined Dante as he saw this.

X punched a Gluttony Phantom as she ducked under a sand breath attack. She slotted the Earth Tune Whistle into the Mega Driver and pressed down on it. EARTH TUNE! She was covered in a sphere of rock that stopped a sand breath attack from the Gluttony Phantom that she had just punched. The sphere dispelled, revealing that she had transformed into the Earth Tune. Then she drew a new Whistle. The head of which was in the shape of a chain while the rest of it was coloured brown she slotted it into the X Driver and pressed down on it. STRIKE CHAIN! Rocks rose up from the ground and formed into a chain. She swung the chain around, smacking the Gluttony Phantom in the chest and sending it smashing into the wall. Two more strikes left glowing brown wounds in the Phantom’s chest.

Then X placed her right glove into the X Driver’s mouth, causing it to bite down. STRIKE CHAIN BITE! Dark red energy surged up her arm as she pulled it back. The chain colid like a snake as X stabbed it towards, impaling the Gluttony Phantom on the end of it and causing the Phantom to explode.

Then X placed the Boomerang Cutter Whistle into the X Driver’s mouth before slamming her glove down on it. BOOMERANG CUTTER! She spun around and threw her left arm out. Rocks pulled themselves free of the ground and formed into a pair of stag beetle horns. They shot forwards, pinning another Gluttony Phantom to a wall and its arms to its sides.

Then she slid the Wind Tune Whistle into the X Driver before hitting it. WIND TUNE! Blue wind covered her body before shattering away as she transformed into the Wind Tune. X placed the Homing Torpedo Whistle into the X Driver and closed the Driver’s mouth. HOMING TORPEDO! She punched forwards, firing a torpedo that shot through the air and exploded as it hit the Gluttony Phantom.

Mega placed the Water Tune Whistle into the X Driver at hit it. WATER TUNE! She was covered by a sphere of sea green water that transformed her into the Water Tune. Then she slid the Sonic Slicer Whistle into the X Driver before closing the mouth. SONIC SLICERS! She pulled back her right arm and fired three crescents that shot through the air and cut into the damage Gluttony Phantom, causing the Phantom to go up in an explosion of fire.

A portal appeared and the group ran through it. Appearing back in the Endless Infernum. The door was no longer blocked and they ran through it.

Now they were in a large cave area called the Giantwalker chamber, the door was locked by a red force field.

“So what happens now?” asked Dante.

“Move!” shouted Symbol as she tackled her Brother to the side.

“What was that-?!” Dante started to demand.

Three balls of lightning smashed into the ground where he had just been standing.

That shut Dante up.

The two Kamen Riders looked up and saw what looked like a giant flying tapeworm fly out a cave that was built into one of the walls.

This is the Gigapede Phantom.

Symbol switched the Giga Ring for the Advance Ring and pressed down on the Wizard Driver’s left Shift Lever before scanning her left glove across her Driver’s Hand Author. TOUCH TO ADVANCE YOUR CLASS! ADVANCE PLEASE! She held her left glove out in front of her as the Advance magic circle appeared and moved back through her, transforming Symbol into the Advance Style.

Then she held her left glove into the air. “COME! ADVANCE TIMER!”

YES! MY MISTRESS! The Crow Bit Phantom came shooting out of the air and slammed into her right forearm guard, transforming into the Advance Timer.

Symbol turned the dial and hit the thumb part inwards. ADVANCE TIME! SET UP! START! The Advance Timer’s first clock hand started ticking.

“Going with that already?” asked Dante.

“Yep,” replied Symbol as the Gigapede Phantom fired three balls of lightning at them.

“I may as well join you!” Dante switched the Aquila and Cerberus Rings for the Trigger Ring in its devil mode. He punched it into the Gate Driver’s left slot and turned his wrist forwards. TRIGGER! DEVIL GO! DE-DE-DE-DEVIL! Then Dante held her left glove out in front of him as the Devil Trigger magic circle appeared in front of them, blocking the lightning balls as it moved back through him, transforming Dante into the Devil Trigger Style.

Symbol hit the Wizard Driver’s left Shift Lever twice before scanning her left glove across her Driver’s Hand Author. TOUCH TO CAST THE NEXT LEVEL! ADVANCE B TIER SPELL! Her shoulder emitters lit up as she dashed in a blur. She jumped from wall to wall with the speed boost, quickly getting above the Gigapede.

Down on the ground, Dante punched the Trigger Ring into the back of the Rebellion Magnum. SIX! DEVIL! MAGNUM STRIKE! Red energy gathered around the front of the barrel as Dante held down the trigger. DEVIL! MAGNUM STRIKE! “Snake Eyes!” shouted Dante as he released the trigger, firing a pillar sized beam that roared through the air and smashed into the Phantom. Dante swept the beam along the length of the Gigapede Phantom, igniting explosions.

Meanwhile, in the air, Symbol hit the thumb part of the Advance Timer inwards as the first clock hand reached the red section. BREAKER ADVANCE! The Breaker magic circle appeared and Breaker Advance fell out of it.

Symbol pressed her Wizard Driver’s left Shift Lever once and scanned her left glove across her Driver’s Hand Author. TOUCH TO CAST THE NEXT LEVEL! ADVANCE C TIER SPELL! Yellow energy gathered around her right fist as she punched downwards. “Let’s see if you can take a load of this!” shouted Symbol as she fired a fist sized beam that drilled sparks out of the Gigapede Phantom’s back.

As the Phantom roared in pain, Advance Breaker pressed her Wizard Driver’s left Shift Lever three times and scanned her left glove across her Driver’s Hand Author. TOUCH TO CAST THE NEXT LEVEL! ADVANCE BREAKER A TIER SPELL! The emitters on her shin guards flared up as she shot down through the air and slammed her fist into the Gigapede Phantom’s back. Sparks erupted from the impact point as the Phantom buckled in the air.

Suddenly, he let loose a blast of lightning. Dante was out of range, but Symbol and Advance Breaker were hit and stunned. Smoke came off their armour as they fell down through the air.

“SUNSET!” shouted Dante as he reached for the Trigger Ring, turning it into its Angel Mode as he punched it into the Gate Driver’s left slot. TRIGGER! GO ANGEL! AN-AN-AN-ANGEL! The Angel magic circle appeared in front of him and moved back through him. He dashed forwards as a blue blur, jumping from wall to wall as he grabbed Symbol out of the air. He dashed towards Advance Breaker. “I won’t make it!” shouted Dante.

Symbol managed to shake off the stun and pressed the Advance Timer’s thumb inwards. BLOCKER ADVANCE! The Blocker magic circle appeared and Advance Blocker jumped out of it.

She pressed her Wizard Driver’s left Shift Lever three times and then scanned her left glove across her Wizard Driver’s Hand Author. TOUCH TO CAST THE NEXT LEVEL! ADVANCE BLOCKER A TIER SPELL! She held up both gloves as the emitters in her shin armour shone. A blue magical aura appeared around Advance Breaker as she slammed into the ground, the aura absorbed the impact.

“That was a bit close,” muttered Dante as he set Symbol on the ground.

“Thanks, Bro,” replied Symbol as she got back to her boots.

“Quick question,” began Dante. “Why are the others not helping us?!”

Symbol gave her Brother a deadpanned look and pointed.

Dante turned, he saw Weapon, Grimm, Mega and X fighting off several Pride, Lust, Sloth, Wrath, Gluttony and Enigma Phantoms.

“Because they are making sure that those Phantoms do not attack us,” Symbol pointed out.

“Oh, right,” replied Dante.

Symbol reached down and pressed the Advance Timer’s thumb inwards. BOUNDER ADVANCE! The Bounder magic circle appeared and Advance Bounder jumped out of it. She pressed her Wizard Driver’s left Shift Lever once before scanning her left glove across her Driver’s Hand Author. TOUCH TO CAST THE NEXT LEVEL! ADVANCE BOUNDER C TIER SPELL! The emitters in her forearm guards lit up as she dashed forward in a blur of speed. She ran from one wall to the other, getting on top of the Gigapede Phantom. Sparks flew as she ran along its back in a blur, punching it over and over.

“I’m not missing out on this!” Dante punched the Angel Trigger Ring into the back of the Rebellion Magnum. ANGEL ONE! MAGNUM STRIKE! He vanished in a blur, firing several shots that cut through the air as they curved around and made sparks explode from the Phantom’s back Dante ran circles around the Phantom in a literal fashion.

Advance Breaker pressed her Wizard Driver’s left Shift Lever twice as she ran under the Gigapede Phantom before scanning her left glove across her Driver’s Hand Author. TOUCH TO CAST THE NEXT LEVEL! ADVANCE BREAKER B TIER SPELL! The emitters on her shoulder pauldrons lit up as she jumped into the air. Red magic energy gathered around her right fist as she threw an uppercut that smashed into the Gigaepde Phantom’s stomach. Sparks flew from the impact point as the Phantom roared in pain.

Suddenly, the Gigapede Phantom roared as lightning started to build up around his body.

Symbol turned to Advance Blocker. “BLOCK IT WITH THE CONTAINMENT CUBE!” she ordered.

Advance Blocker pressed her Wizard Driver’s left Shift Lever four times then she scanned her left glove across her Wizard Driver’s Hand Author as the Gigapede Phantom released a sphere of lightning from his body. TOUCH TO CAST THE NEXT LEVEL! VERY NICE! ADVANCE BLOCKER S TIER SPELL! THE BEST! All six emitters glowed, as did the circle on her chest plate as a cube made of blue energy snapped into being around the Phantom, forcing all of the lightning back into it, making the Phantom roar out in pain.

Symbol saw that the first clock hand had reached the purple section and she pressed the Advance Timer’s thumb inwards. BLASTER ADVANCE! The Blaster magic circle appeared and out of it jumped Advance Blaster.

She pressed her Wizard Driver’s left Shift Lever three times before scanning her left glove across her Driver’s Hand Author as the Gigapede Phantom built up lightning inside his maw. TOUCH TO CAST THE NEXT LEVEL! ADVANCE BLASTER A TIER SPELL! The emitters on her shin guards glowed as purple magical energy spiralled inwards around her gloves. She thrust them forwards and fired a column sized beam that roared through the air. The Gigapede fired a beam of lightning that clashed with the beam of magic. The two pushed against each other with the contact point moving back and forth.

“Hang on!” shouted Symbol as she pressed her Wizard Driver’s left Shift Lever once before scanning her left glove across her Driver’s Hand Author. TOUCH TO CAST THE NEXT LEVEL! ADVANCE C TIER SPELL! The emitters on her forearm guards glowed as Symbol pulled back her right fist and punched forward, firing a beam of yellow magical energy. It wrapped around the purple beam and boosted its power forcing the lightning beam back into the Gigapede Phantom’s mouth. There was a loud explosion as the Phantom roared in pain.

ADVANCE WEAPON TIME! Shouted the Advance Timer as the first clock hand reached the yellow section, stopped and the second clock hand started moving.

While Dante and Symbol had been fighting the Gigapede Phantom. Weapon, Grimm and Mega had been fighting other Phantom took stop them from blindsiding their Mistress and her Brother.

Weapon slammed the right side of the Dust Knuckle into the left side of the Weapon Driver once as a Pride Phantom rushed at her. S-C-Y-T-H-E! She held out both gloves and in a flash of red light the Crescent Scythe appeared. W-I-N-D D-U-S-T C-H-A-R-G-E! She gripped it and swung the polearm, firing a crescent of wind through the air and cut the Pride Phantom in half. The two halves then went up in an explosion as a Wrath Phantom met the same fate. When the bomb on his back exploded, a pair of Sloth Phantoms were destroyed.

BREAKER SWORD! Came the Advance Timer’s shout.

Weapon saw an Enigma Phantom take aim at her and pressed the right side of the Dust Knuckle into the left side of the Weapon Driver twice. S-N-I-P-E-R! The Crescent Scythe shifted into the Crescent Rifle. W-I-N-D D-U-S-T C-H-A-R-G-E! She took aim and fired a green sniper bolt that shot through the air and cut through the Enigma Phantom’s stomach. Sparks exploded from its body before the Phantom exploded.

Then she pressed the right side of the Dust Knuckle into her right palm. R-E-A-D-Y! She slotted the Dust Knuckle back into the left side of the Weapon Driver. F-I-S-T O-N! The holographic suit of armour appeared in front of her and slammed into her. The scythe and rifle on her chest armour transformed into a rapier and a wand. The cross on her faceplate closed back up, hiding her visors once more. Then she pressed the right side of the Dust Knuckle into the left side of the Weapon Driver. S-W-O-R-D! Weapon held out her left glove and the Pointing Sword appeared. W-I-N-D D-U-S-T C-H-A-R-G-E! Green wind covered her body and sent her shooting forwards, she pierced a Sloth Phantom’s face with the Pointing Sword and caused it to explode.

BLOCKER SWORD! Shouted the Advance Timer as the battle against the Gigapede Phantom continued.

Kamen Rider Grimm pressed the left side of the Aura Knuckle into the right side of the Grimm Driver. B-O-A-R-B-A-T-U-S-K B-I-T-I-N-G!

BOUNDER SWORD! Came the Advance Timer’s shout.

“Just die already!” shouted Dante.

An Enigma Phantom charged up his bows and took aim at Grimm.

Grimm responded to the threat by slamming the left side of the Aura Knuckle into the right side of the Grimm Driver. N-E-V-E-R-M-O-R-E B-I-T-I-N-G! She held out her right glove as black mist gathered around it and transformed into the Nevermore Bowgun. D-R-A-G-O-N R-A-G-E A-T-T-A-C-K! The arms burst into flames which gathered at the tip as she fired several arrowheads of flame. They shot through the air and pierced through the Phantom, causing it to explode.

BLASTER SWORD!

She took aim and fired an arrow into the air, over a hundred arrows came raining down, smashing into ten Pride Phantoms and causing them to explode along with a Wrath Phantom.

ADVANCE SWORD! ADVANCE PART TIME! “Here we go again,” muttered Symbol.

SUPER ARM! As her left arm inflated, Mega reached into the ground and pulled out a rock that she threw at the Pride Phantom X was fighting. The rather large rock slammed into the Phantom’s side and caused it to stagger to the side.

A Lust Phantom ran towards X as she pressed the Electric Spark Whistle into the X Driver’s mouth before closing the mouth. ELECTRIC SPARK! X pulled back her right fist and slammed it into the ground, summoning a wall of lightning that the Lust Phantom crashing into, shocking it.

Then X pressed her left glove into the X Driver’s mouth. ELECTRIC SPARK BITE! It bit down, sending green energy up her left glove. She clenched it into a fist as she punched the Lust Phantom in the face. It was sent flying back with green lightning crackling over its body. Then it exploded while it was still in the air.

ERROR! “Oh come on!” shouted Symbol.

The Pride Phantom had recovered and was about to attack X from behind. Mega pressed her left glove into the Mega Driver’s mouth and it bit down. SUPER ARM BITE! She reached into the ground as red energy covered her right arm. She pulled a rock out of the ground and threw it at the Pride Phantom. The rock slammed into the Phantom like a train and exploded on contact. The Pride Phantom stood for a second before falling over and turning to ash.

Mega quickly placed the Light Tune Whistle in the Mega Driver and pressed down. LIGHT TUNE! She was covered in a sphere of light that shattered after a few seconds, revealing that she had transformed into the Light Tune. Then mega pressed the Metal Blade Whistle into the Mega Driver. METAL BLADE! Light gathered in front of her and transformed into a trio of circle shaped buzzsaws. She threw her right glove forwards and shot the buzzsaws forwards. They rocketed through the air and cut into a Wrath Phantom. The bomb on its back exploded and destroyed a pair of Lust Phantoms.

ERROR! “WHY?!” yelled Symbol.

X slotted the Silent Tune Whistle into the X Driver and closed its mouth. SILENT TUNE! She was covered by a sphere of sound energy that transformed her into the Silent Tune.

“It’s just starting?!” Dante yelled back.

FIRE TUNE! Mega was covered by a sphere of fire and transformed back into the Fire Tune as she slotted the Proto Shield Whistle into the X Driver and pressed down on it. PROTO SHIELD! She used the Proto Shield to block a slash from a Pride Phantom that would have hit X.

FIREWAVE BITE! X quickly shot a ball of fire that turned into a wall of fire when it hit the ground, taking out a pair of Lust Phantoms in the process of destroying a Wrath Phantom.

CERBERUS MOUTH! “WHAT?!” shouted Symbol in shock as a purple Cerberus Phantom appeared and circled Advance Blaster. It ran through her backplate and its three heads emerged from her chest plate, solid and roaring.

“That is freaky,” commented Dante as he saw this.

“Who cares?!” demanded Symbol. “It’s finally working!” she turned to Advance Blaster. “Give it all you’ve got!” she ordered.

Advance Blaster pressed her Wizard Driver’s left Shift Lever once, then she scanned her left glove across her Driver’s Hand Author. TOUCH TO CAST THE NEXT LEVEL! ADVANCE BLASTER C TIER SPELL! The middle Cerberus head opened and fired a storm of ice spikes that shot through the air and slammed into the Gigapede Phantom’s stomach, igniting sparks and micro explosions.

Then she pressed her Wizard Driver’s left Shift Lever twice before swiping her left glove across her Driver’s Hand Author. TOUCH TO CAST THE NEXT LEVEL! ADVANCE BLASTER B TIER SPELL! The left Cerberus head opened its mouth and fired a giant ball of flame. The Gigapede Phantom fired three orbs of lightning that were swallowed by the fireball as it impacted the Phantom and sent it smashing into a wall.

Advance Blaster hit her Wizard Driver’s left Shift Lever three times and then scanned her left glove over her Wizard Driver’s Hand Author. TOUCH TO CAST THE NEXT LEVEL! ADVANCE BLASTER A TIER SPELL! The right Ceberus head glowed and fired a bolt of lightning from its mouth. The lightning cut through the air and smashed into the Gigapede Phantom, making him roar in pain.

“Now! Hit it with Blaster Impact!” ordered Symbol.

“You sound like you’re in a Pokemon battle,” commented Dante as he walked up.

“Oh, you’re awake,” Dante had been hit with a tail slam a few minutes ago.

“Don’t sound too happy,” muttered Dante.

“I won’t,” replied Symbol.

Advance Blaster pressed down on her Wizard Driver’s left Shift Lever four times before scanning her left glove across her Driver’s Hand Author. TOUCH TO CAST THE NEXT LEVEL! VERY NICE! ADVANCE BLASTER S TIER SPELL! THE BEST! The three Cerberus head’s opened their jaws as their elements gathered before they fired. Each element came roaring out of the mouth as a giant beam, they spiralled around each other, blurring into a single element beam. The Gigapede Phantom gathered lightning in its mouth and fired a large beam of the element. Advance Blaster’s beam washed over the Phantom’s beam and then over the Phantom, a power explosion rippled through the area as the Phantom was destroyed.

MAGICAL TOUCH HENSHIN! ACTIVE PLEASE! LET’S GO! “That is going to come in handy,” commented Symbol as transformed back into the Active Style and the energy clones vanished.

“Tell me about it,” replied Dante. “I found this in the next room,” he held up the Astronomical Board.

“I think I’ve seen where this goes,” replied Symbol. “Wait, you mean you were looking for this while I was fighting for my life?!”

“Yep,” replied Dante as he approached the door. Placing his glove on it he gave it a shove, but it stayed closed. He scoffed before turning away, then the Kamen Rider came running back and kicking the door.

Nothing happened.

“What the-?” Muttered Symbol.

Her brother pulled out his guns.

“Yoo-hoo!” came a shout as what appeared to be a jester warped in behind them.

“Where’d you come from?!” shouted Symbol.

The Jester ignored her. “There’s no to use violence devil boy.”

“Are you ignoring me?!” demanded Symbol

Dante ignored him and was about to shoot the door anyway.

The Jester ran around in front of him. “Wait, wait, wait, better listen to what others say, lad.”

“Yeah, he’s not very good at that,” stated Symbol.

“SUNSET!” shouted Dante.

“It’s the truth,” shrugged Symbol. “It is also payback for leaving me to fight the giant tapeworm by myself!”

The Jester continued. “This tower here is very sturdy, You see.”

“Tell us something we don’t know,” muttered Symbol.

“Your tricks will do no good,” he was suddenly in Dante’s face. “NO GOOD!” he bellowed

Dante’s response to the invasion of his personal space was to press Ebony against The Jester’s nose. “Zip it, or I’ll pierce that big nose.”

“That could be a problem,” replied the Jester.

Symbol held in a giggle at The Jester’s nasally voice.

He dodged around. “Just hear me out. You’ve got nothing to lose, right? My name is Jester,” he gave a bow.

“Saw that coming,” replied Symbol.

“And I know a thing or two about this place. That thing there,-” he pointed to a metal box. “-Is a power generator for this entire sector,” he walked around so that he was in front of the generator. “In order to open the door, you need to apply a little SOMETHING to it first. Do you know what that is, kid? Or is that too difficult for you.”

“Hitting the generator?” guessed Symbol.

Jester stared at her. “How did you know that?!”

“Ok I’ve run out of patience.” Dante opened fire on Jester’s feet, making him dance while laughing. “Get to the point! Or do you want to keep on dancing?!” Dante eventually stopped.

Jester panted. “Actually, I prefer a sword to be my partner. May I have this dance, M’lady?” he gave a mocking bow.

MAGICAL TOUCH HENSHIN! GIGA PLEASE! BREAK THROUGH! “How about an axe?!” Symbol brought the Giga Axe down, but Jester teleported away. The axe smashed into the generator and the door opened.

“BINGO!” shouted Jester from where he was standing, upside down on the ceiling. “THAT is WHAT the SOMETHING is! Remember that, kids. Writing it down on your hands if you don’t trust your heads!”

Dante opened fire on Jester, but he danced away still laughing and singing.

“I see, thanks,” stated Dante as he, Symbol, Weapon, Grimm, Mega and X walked through the door. “You still piss me off though.”

“Me too,” added Symbol.

Then Symbol paused.

Dante noticed that she was not following him anymore and turned back to his sister. “What’s up?” he asked her.

“I just get the feeling that guy was not all that he seemed,” replied Symbol as she started following Dante once more.
