“Urghh. I feel horrible. Where am I...wait…who am I? I remember….a boom. Some creepy eyes. An academy. What’s an academy? And….fire? What’s fire? Why can’t I remember anything?!” She shouted when she realized that she didn’t even know her own name! “Ok, this is bad, but just calm down and think!” Several seconds later. “Nothing! I can’t remember anything!” She looked around and appeared to be on a pier, with a red sky and the water had a load of black rocks emerging from it. “What is this place? It's so red.” She paused. “Red, yellow, Sun? Shimmer! Sunset Shimmer! That's my name! Some progress at least.” Looking around the now named Sunset Shimmer pulled herself off the floor. “I’m not getting anywhere by sitting here! So I might as well look around and try to find somebody.”

She had red hair with orange highlights that reached halfway down her back, green eyes and tanned skin. She wore a blue dress, blue jeans, black boots and a black fake leather coat. Around her waist was a silver belt with a black handprint buckle. On her right hand was a silver ring with a small black gem in the centre of it that was shaped as a handprint. On other middle finger bore a silver ring with a small red gem in the centre of it.

She looked around for a few seconds, before realising two things.

One: She could remember nothing except her name.

Two: She was in a weird place where the sky was red, the sun was black, as well all the buildings and the rocks coming out of the ground.

She only realised the second fact after she had stopped running around in panic after realising the first fact.

“Ok,” she panted. “Let’s calm down Sunset, panic doesn’t solve anything! Now, to figure out where I am!”

Suddenly, three creatures burst from the ground. They were humanoid but that was where any resemblance to humanity ended. They looked to be made of stone with dome-shaped heads, each of them held a single-sided tanto sword. These are Lesser Blade Phantoms.

“What the-?! What are you?” while most people would be screaming in terror, Sunset only felt defensive.

The Lesser Blade Phantoms did not answer and elected to charge instead.

Somehow, Sunset knew just what she had to do. She dodged to the side and held the ring on her right hand over the buckle on her belt, making it speak. [DRIVER ON PLEASE!] A magic glyph appeared over the buckle as it grew in size before a pair of square-shaped leaves appeared on either side of the buckle.

Sunset reached down and pressed down on the right shift lever, making the hand author turn to the right. [MAGICAL TOUCH HENSHIN!] shouted the Wizard Driver. “HENSHIN!” yelled Sunset as she held the Active Ring on her left middle finger over the Hand Author. [ACTIVE PLEASE!] A magical glyph appeared to her left. It was a red A, inside a red circle, inside a red eight-pointed star, inside a second red circle which had two layers and runic text between the layers.

The glyph moved over Sunset, covering her body in red magical energy, within which her body changed and transformed into a new form which was revealed as the magic energy dispersed.

Her head looked like a red helmet with a pair of lines cutting vertically through the centre and the faceplate being shaped like a light blue circle shaped gem. On the centre of her forehead was a bronze coin with a pair of white curved horns coming out of it forming a V. Her skin from the neck down had turned into a black full-body leather catsuit, except for the forearms which were red and going down the side of her arms and the front of each leg was a dark blue line. Her hands looked like black gloves had her feet had turned into black combat boots. Sunset’s chest now looked like a bronze coin with white outlines, her shoulder had changed into red shoulder pauldrons that curved downwards with white outlines. Her forearms had changed into the image of red forearms guards while the back of her hands and the front of her shins had changed into red shin armour with a pair of white lines cutting through them vertically. The front of her knees had turned into grey circle shaped knee armour while her wrists and ankles now looked like red gem-like anklets and bracelets with a silver framework. Overall of this, she wore a black sleeveless robe with silver outlines, no arms and a high collar. In her hand, she held a silver single-sided sword with a guard that looked like a black closed fist with golden outlines and had its thumb sticking out. She was no longer Sunset Shimmer but Kamen Rider Symbol Active Style and the sword was named the Active Blade.

“I am the final hope,” she stated, then paused. “Where the heck did that come from and how did I even know how to transform?” muttered the Kamen Rider as she ran at the Lesser Blade Phantoms with the Active Blade ready.

One of the Lesser Blade Phantoms charged at her, she slashed it three times quickly with her sword, before ending with one big slash. Suddenly sparks were drawn from her back when the other Lesser Blade Phantoms struck up from behind. “Ow!” she slashed it several more times before letting her instincts take over. Symbol pressed the left shift lever, making the Wizard Driver’s Hand Author turn to the left. [MAGICAL TOUCH GO!] Then she scanned the Active Ring over the Hand Author. [ACTIVE! C RANK SPELL!] A red glyph flashed on the hand author as red lightning burst into existence around Symbol’s left hand, encasing it in crackling magical energy. ‘Wait, magic? Is that what fuels my powers?’ Slapping herself in the helmet with her non-lightning covered hand Symbol mentally growled. ‘Focus Sunset!’ She ran towards the Lesser Blade Drone rearing back her hand and giving the Phantom a palm strike to the face, sending it flying back. “Cool!” Stars replaced her lenses as the Phantom went flying, crashing into a wall.

“Gah!” More sparks came from her back as she was hit by the other Lesser Blade Phantom. “Forgot about you!” She pressed down on the left shift lever again, however, her arm jarred a bit and she ended up pressing down on it twice. [MAGICAL TOUCH GO!] Not noticing she scanned the Active Ring in front of the Hand Author. [ACTIVE! B RANK SPELL!] “What the-?!” shouted Symbol as red lightning covered both her arms this time. “Figure it out later!” she blocked a blow from the Lesser Blade Phantom with her forearm, the lightning cushioned the blow. She knocked the tanto to the side and decked the Phantom in the face, before giving it a pair of quick jabs and an uppercut which sent it into the air where it exploded.

“Woah!!” Symbol didn’t have long to be in awe as she ducked under an attack from the other Lesser Blade Phantom and slashed it several times across the chest before it exploded. Symbol was given no time to rest as three more Lesser Blade Phantoms burst from the ground. “More killing for me!” she chirped, slashing one of them across the chest. Symbol swept another's feet from under it and stabbed the third before repeating the stabbing motion rapidly. She then spun around with the Active Blade held up cutting the other two demons resulting in them being thrown back and sparks flying off them. “Let's try this.” Symbol pressed down on the left shift lever three times. [MAGICAL TOUCH GO!] Then scanned the Active Ring in front of the Hand Author. [ACTIVE! A RANK SPELL!] Red lightning burst into being around her, this time it condensed around her right fist. Symbol brought said fist around and slammed it into the first Lesser Blade Phantom’s chest, sending the Phantom flying and making it explode!

Suddenly, Symbol noticed something. “The guard of this sword looks like the hand on my belt.” Curious she pulled the thumb, causing the hand to spring open! [COME ON SLASH SHAKE HANDS!] “Er ok?” Symbol scanned the Active Ring across the Active Blades Hand Author. [ACTIVE: SLASH STRIKE!] “Woah!” Shouted the Kamen Rider as red lightning burst into being around the sword. The two Lesser Blade Phantoms were heedless of the danger as they charged. Giving what could pass for a smirk, Symbol spun around her sword discharged a red lightning crescent that cut through the two Lesser Blade Phantoms like a hot knife through butter, causing the two halves to explode.

Then another three Lesser Blade Phantom burst from the ground.

“Let me kill something else already!” Shouted Symbol in anger. She slashed one Lesser Blade Phantoms with three wide swings, before backflipping over a blow from the second Phantom and giving it a roundhouse kick to the face. She ducked under a blow from the third Lesser Blade Phantom, going into a handstand and kicking it in the face with both boots. “Ok, so my body clearly remembers how to fight,” mused Symbol as she blocked an attack with the Active Blade and killed the first Lesser Blade Phantom with another two slashes.

Ducking under a blow from the other Phantom she grabbed its arm and threw it into the third one. “Let's see how many times I can push this down,” she pressed down on the left shift lever once, twice, thrice and four times before she couldn’t push it down any more. [MAGICAL TOUCH GO!] “So four times is the limit.” Symbol scanned the Active Ring across the Wizard Driver’s Hand Author. [VERY NICE!] She pulled her robe to the side as she crouched down. [ACTIVE! S RANK SPELL!] Her left boot was covered in red lightning that crackled angrily. [THE BEST!] Symbol jumped into the air, she flipped over and shot down in a flying kick her foot slammed into the two Lesser Stygians throwing them back and causing the demon’s to explode.

“Sunset! This way!” Symbol could see a girl that looked like she was see through running down the pier away from her.

“Who the heck is that?” she muttered. “Not like I have any idea where the heck I’m going. Might as well follow her,” Symbol ran down the pier jumping over some black rocks as she did so. Suddenly, she heard a whistling noise coming from behind her. Symbol’s body acted on its own, throwing itself to the side just as a grappling hook slammed into the wood where she had just been standing! “That was close!” Symbol glanced along the line and almost yelped when she saw a giant humanoid Phantom. It had legs that bent backwards, a knife strapped to its waist and a large open cross-shaped scar was on its face.

Her HUD lit up displaying text. “Monkey Phantom? So that's what that thing is called?” mused Symbol.

Suddenly the Monkey Phantom pulled on the grappling line making the pier start to come apart!

“Uh oh! Time to run!” Symbol turned and started running for her life. She jumped over a gap that appeared when the pier fell away, then dodge around a caravan that fell past her. Symbol jumped over another gap and just made it past a caravan that had started to slide before it could force her off the edge. Suddenly another caravan fell down and smashed right through the pier while the supports started to tear themselves away.

“This is getting stupid!” Symbol had to jump over that gap then run up a caravan that was balanced on the edge. She jumped falling through the air but landed solidly on the vehicle. To solidly! It started to slide into the void. “Oh, nuts!” Symbol dashed up the caravan and just managed to jump off and land on the pier in time.

Suddenly, she heard a loud growl and saw that the Monkey Phantom was back! Her body took on a life of its own again, as her gloves grabbed the Active Blade, pulling the handle down so that it was at an angle forming an L shape. Her right hand then gave the weapon a jerk and the blade folded in half, it was now the Active Rifle. “This thing turns into a gun? That's so cool!” Symbol had stars in her lenses when suddenly she had to roll out of the way of a grappling hook. “Get your head in the game!” she pulled the trigger, several silver bullets trailing red aura were discharged from the gun, but they all bounced off the Monkey Phantom's face.

With a mugging sneer, the Monkey Drone jumped into the blood like water and swam away.

Symbol connected the gun to the back of her belt and started walking when the sound of a Phantom materialized came from above. She looked up and saw what looked like a human crossed with a fly in the air. Her HUD lit up once more. “So this thing’s called a Valkyrie Phantom? Odd name but I’m named after a colour so who am I to judge?” She looked at the Phantom. “Target practice. Right on queue!” She pulled out the Active Rifle and fired at the Phantom. Five silver bullets shot out of the gun and slammed into the Valkyrie Phantom, it gave a squeal of pain and pulled out an orb. But five more bullets slammed into the Phantom destroying it before it could do anything else.

Then four more Valkyrie Phantoms appeared.

Symbol shot one of them but was forced to jump out of the way when another one threw an orb at her. “Is that the best you can do?”

Suddenly the orb exploded!

“ARRRGHHH!!!” She was sent flying and slammed into a wall. “Ow! Ok, that was better,” Symbol got back to her boots and looked at the Active Rifle. “If it worked for the sword then it should work for the gun,” She pulled on its weapon’s thumb making its hand author spring open again. [COME ON SHOOTING SHAKE HANDS!] “Yes!” Shouted Symbol, she dodged out of the way of several other bombs and scanned it across the Active Rifle’s Hand Author. [ACTIVE! SHOOTING STRIKE!] A red ball of aura that had bright red lightning crackling across it appeared in front of the Active Rifle’s barrel. It slowly grew bigger until it was about the size of a basketball when Symbol pulled the trigger. The ball of aura discharged about thirty silver bullets, all of which were trailing red lightning. The bullets smashed into the demons before the lightning that they had been guiding caught up and electrocuted the airborne Phantoms.

Symbol had no time to rest as a pair of Valkyrie Phantoms appeared in the air and a pair of Lesser Blade Phantoms jumped out of the ground. “Give me a break!” she slashed one Lesser Blade Phantoms twice and fired a brace of silver bullets at one of the Valkyrie Phantoms. She pressed the left shift lever once. [MAGICAL TOUCH GO!] Then scanned the Active Ring across the Hand Author. [ACTIVE! C RANK SPELL!] Covering her glove in red lightning she gave the Lesser Blade Phantom a violent palm strike. Before kicking it into the other land-based Phantom causing it to explode. She jumped out of the way of two more bombs and fired another burst of bullets damaging the second Valkyrie Phantom.

Symbol then jumped into the air and slashed at the two Phantom’s with the Active Blade killing them both with two slashes each. She dropped back down to the ground only to be struck in the chest by the second Lesser Blade Phantom that had been partially damaged by the explosion. “Gah! Take this!” Symbol pressed the left shift lever twice. [MAGICAL TOUCH GO!] Then scanned the Active Ring over the Hand Author. [ACTIVE! B RANK SPELL!] Both her fists were covered in red lightning. She brought them around in an X shaped chop, craving a red glowing X through the Lesser Blade Phantom that flashed several times bigger before the demon went *Boom!*

When no more Phantoms appeared Symbol was able to run further down the pier.

“What kind of Phantom are you?” came a voice.

Symbol looked to the side a saw another Kamen Rider standing here.

His suit was black with black boots and white gloves along with a black helmet. The faceplate had a demonic red outline with an angelic blue mouth guard. A pair of circle shaped lenses were in place of his eyes, the left one being angelic blue while the right was demonic red. His chestplate was demonic red while his shoulder, forearm, knee and shin armour were all angelic blue and had chains wrapped around them. His Driver was a black belt with a gate-shaped buckle that had a slot on either side. The gate was open, revealing a demonic red and angelic blue face. On his back was a grey claymore with a skull and a ribcage for a guard. Attached to each of his legs was a modified Desert Eagle, one was coloured stalk white and the other was pitch black. On his left middle finger was a silver ring with a small angelic blue and demonic red gem in the centre of it, while his right middle finger bore the same Driver On Ring that was on Symbol’s right middle finger.

“What do you- Wait a minute! I’m not one of these things. At least I don’t think I am.”

“What do you mean ‘I don’t think I am’?” His visors narrowed as his hand went back to his sword.

“I don’t remember anything other than my name!” Shouted Sunset in distress.

The man looked surprised. “You can’t remember anything? Anything at all? How can you talk and move?”

“Well…I can remember some things. But they don’t make sense to me. Not really.”

“Well since you're not trying to kill or piss me off, your free to go.”

Suddenly the see-through girl ran up. “Dante, Sunset.”

The other Kamen Rider, now named Dante pulled out both his guns. One was coloured ebony and the other was an ivory colour, both modified grips that were sharp.

Symbol pulled out the Active Rifle.

Having three firearms pointed at her caused the girl to skid to a stop.

“Don’t shoot! My name is Kate, I’m not a Phantom. I’m still in the real world, you two are in the Slip Dimension.”  

“How come we can see you clearly.” Inside his head, Dante was confused that he was already calling himself and someone that he had just met ‘we’. ‘Also, why does she feel so familiar?’

“I’m a medium, a psychic, I can phase into the Slip Dimension and communicate with you!” came Kate’s explanation. “I can see you, talk to you, but I’m not actually in the Slip Dimension with you.”

“What’s the Slip Dimension?” asked Symbol.

Dante looked at her in shock. “Wow! You really don’t remember anything!” He turned back to Kate. “And if I pull the trigger?”

“I’ll die. I’m risking my life for you. I want to help.”

Dante held the gun at her for several seconds, when Symbol grabbed his arm and forced it down. “Would you stop it! She’s just trying to help!”

Dante glared at her before turning back to Kate. “We don’t need your help. Again with the we!? What is going on?!’

“The Monkey Phantom has dragged you into Limbo. I can get you out,” offered Kate.

“I’ve been down here before; I know how to get out. You fight and kill whatever shit-sucking Phantom dragged you in here,” Symbol tapped him on the shoulder, Dante turned to her, then stared at the jar labelled ‘swear jar’ “You are having a laugh.”

“I’m serious.”

Dante groaned as he pulled out his wallet and jammed a five dollar note into the jar.

Kate stared at the comedy scene before replying. “You don’t want to fight the Monkey. He’s not your Phantom,” she ran off. “Follow me. Now!”

Dante looked at Symbol who shrugged. “We might as well.”

He rolled his eyes as he put his guns back in the holsters and they ran after Kate. “Where’d she go?” they ran between some houses.

“There goes that arcade machine,” muttered Symbol as one of the machines collapsed. They moved into an open space with some kind of carnival ride in it. Black rocks rose from the ground blocking all exits and six Lesser Blade Phantoms popped out of the ground.

“I’ll take three and you take out the other three?” asked Symbol as the two of them stood back to back.

“Sure,” replied Dante. He punched the Nephilim Ring on his left middle finger into the hilt of his sword, before pulling open the mouth, revealing a single demonic red and angelic blue circle. [ONE!] Then he swung the sword upwards, sending one of the Lesser Blade Phantom’s into the air. [NEPHILIM SABER STRIKE!]

Symbol didn’t want to drag this fight out, she slashed at one Lesser Blade Phantom thrice, before sidestepping a swing from the other and kicking it back. Symbol pulled open the Active Rifle’s hand author. [COME ON SHOOTING SHAKE HANDS!] Then she scanned the Active Ring across it. [ACTIVE! SHOOTING STRIKE!] Firing several silver bullet that guided lightning bolts into the other Lesser Blade Phantom, electrocuting it and doing massive damage. She then switched the weapon back into its sword mode and slashed the first Lesser Blade Phantom twice more across the body and a single powerful downwards slash destroyed it.

The second Lesser Blade Phantom caught Symbol by surprise as the swing hit her bracelet forcing her to drop her sword. “Why you!” She ducked under another blow and punched the Phantom twice in the chest before kicking it away. She pressed the left shift lever. [MAGICAL TOUCH GO!] Before scanning the Active Ring across the driver. [ACTIVE! C RANK SPELL!] Her glove was covered in red lightning, she drew her limb back and ran forwards, using her other arm to force the weapon to the side and palm strike the Phantom. A beam of lightning shot out of her hand and sent it shooting into the air where it exploded.

Dante punched his ring into the hilt of his sword before pulling open the handle. [THREE!] Revealing three angelic blue and demonic red circles. [NEPHILIM SABER STRIKE!] Then he slashed the already damaged Lesser Blade Phantom three times, cutting it to bits.

Seeing that another one of the Lesser Blade Phantoms was approaching he punched the ring into the base of his sword, closed the mouth and then opened it once more. [TWO!] This time only two angelic blue and demonic red circles were revealed. [NEPHILIM SABER STRIKE!] Dante quickly delivered several spinning slashes to the Phantom.

The Kamen Rider then jumped over the attack of the third Lesser Blade Phantom as he closed the sword’s mouth, punched his ring into the hilt and then opened the mouth again. [FIVE!] This time five angelic blue and demonic red circles were revealed. [NEPHILIM SABER STRIKE!] Angelic blue and demonic red energy gathered around the sword as Dante stab the Phantom with a powerful stab.

With only one Lesser Blade Drone left Dante put his sword away and drew his guns, before punching his left-hand ring into the hammers of them both. [EBONY AND IVORY STRIKE!] Before pulling the triggers, the two bullets spiralled around it each like a drill and slammed into the Lesser Blade Phantom’s, the sheer force of them ripped the already injured Phantom in half.

“That went well.” The rock barrier vanished and they ran down the pier, jumping over a caravan that had slid, blocking the way forward. They then had to jump up to get to the next section of the pier that had been pushed up by the black rocks.

“So, I got this thing,” Symbol pulled out the Active Blade.

“Nice sword,” commented Dante as they jumped back down and ran past a merry go round.

“It’s also a HISBHR.”

“...What?”

Symbol changed the Active Blade into the Active Rifle. “It's also a gun.”

“Nice, I have a pair of custom made pistols that never run out of ammo, for some weird reason, called Ebony and Ivory. And a sword that appears only when I’m in the Slip Dimension.”

Symbol now had stars in her visors as she looked at the sword. She somehow managed to turn into a chibi form and as she examined it “Cool! Steel sword with silver melted into it! Highest purity I’ve ever seen! No impurities at all! Engine like guard and custom made grip with mystic runic-like designs on it! What's it called?!”

“...No idea?” By now Dante was bit freaked out. Suddenly he heard something.

The Monkey Phantom leapt over the rooftops and onto a Ferris wheel, making Symbol return to normal. It smashed the supports pulling the thing lose.

Dante squinted. “Is that my coat?!”

“How’d it get up there?” asked Symbol.

“Must have been really drunk last night!”

The Monkey Phantom grabbed the Ferris wheel and forced it to start rolling towards the two.

“I would advise running!” shouted Symbol.

Dante let the wheel fall around him. He slashed through two of the inner workings and ran up another, jumping towards his coat and slipping his hands into the sleeves as he did so. “Sweet!” he stated.

Symbol ran up to him. “That was cool, where’d you learn to do that?”

“Practice,” came the reply.

They ran after the wheel as it tore apart the pier, before several of the planks that had been torn up formed into a barrier as three Lesser Blade Phantoms pulled themselves from the ground and two Valkyrie Phantoms appeared in the air.

Dante opened fire on one Valkyrie with Ebony and Ivory, he dodged a bomb and finished off the Valkyrie with his twin guns. Dante jumped up to the level of the other Valkyrie’s. He punched his ring into his sword hilt and pulled open the mouth. [FOUR!] Revealing four demonic red and angelic blue circles. [NEPHILIM SABER STRIKE!] Demonic red along with angelic blue energy gathered around the sword and sparks flew from the Valkyrie Phantom with each slash of his sword until it exploded.

Symbol slashed one Lesser Blade Phantom, then upper cutted it when she was struck from behind by the second Phantom. “Why you!” Symbol pressed the left shift lever twice. [MAGICAL TOUCH GO!] The scanned the Active Ring across the Driver’s Hand Author. [ACTIVE! B RANK SPELL!] Red lightning covered both her arms as she unleashed an X chop on the demon, doing massive damage and burning an X shaped scar in its chest via electrical heat. She slipped her sword onto the back of her belt and ran at the third Lesser Blade Phantom. Punching it in the face she gave it a left hook, a knee to the jaw and a downwards punch from the air. The first Lesser Blade Phantom made an attempt to attack her from behind but Symbol ducked, swept its feet from under it.

As the Phantom fell she grabbed its leg and threw it into the third demon. Symbol pulled open the Active Blade’s hand author. [COME ON SLASH SHAKE HANDS!] Then she scanned the Active Ring across it. [ACTIVE! SLASH STRIKE!] The two Phantoms looked up just in time to see a crescent of bright red lightning slam into them burning most of their bodies to the point they exploded.

[GO! KICK STRIKE!] Dante came down and slammed his charged boot into the head of the Lesser Blade Phantom that had been about to attack Symbol from behind. “Never let your guard down!” he lectured.

Symbol rubbed the back of her helmet. “Sorry.”

Suddenly, the Monkey Phantom clambered over the rooftops. It jumped landing on one of the black rocks and pulled a grappling gun from its belt.

“OOH! Cool, A grappling gun that launches a four-pronged hook-!”

“Geek out later, dodge now!” Dante grabbed Symbol and pulled her to the side as the gun was fired. A hand of earth sprung from the wooden pier and closed around where they had just been standing! “Hey! Get down here and fight!” shouted Dante.

“That isn’t going to work!” exclaimed Symbol. “In here!” She ran into a funhouse with Dante following. The entrance collapsed behind them by another earth hand. The two of them had to jump back when a bit of the house caved in from the aftershocks.

“Jerk,” muttered Dante as they ran up a slope and took a right turn, running through a hall of doors and curtains. “Get lost!” Dante shouted as a skeleton dropped out of a closet. Suddenly the Monkey Phantom’s hand burst through the right side of the hall! “Oh shit!” They both rolled back and the demon smashed its arm against the ground before withdrawing. “Ok I think it’s gone, let's go,” Dante almost absently dropped another note into the swear jar. ‘Ok this is getting nuts! Why am I dropping money into a swear jar like its instinct?! Why do I feel so bad to swear in front of her?!’ They reached the end of the corridor and arrived in another that had several photos of a single eye hanging on its wall. “Well that's not creepy at all,” muttered Dante sarcastically.

“It would be scary in a sense if we weren’t fighting Phantoms that want to kill us in a very painful manner,” replied Symbol. They ran towards the end of the hall there was a giant mirror hanging there.

Which suddenly exploded revealing the Monkey Phantom’s face. “That’s one ugly reflection,” stated Symbol as the Phantom took a swipe at them. She jumped and ran across a wall to dodge it, while Dante leapt back out of range. The Monkey Phantom drew its knife in a reverse grip and lunged at them with a downwards swing!

Dante blocked it with his sword and used his monstrous strength to send the demon flying over him.

Symbol pulled pressed down on the left shift lever three times. [MAGICAL TOUCH GO!] Then she scanned the Active Ring across it. [ACTIVE! A RANK SPELL!] Red lightning covered Symbol’s hand as she drew it back. She punched the Phantom with so much force that it was forced right through the wall.

It rolled back to its feet and snarled at the two of them before running off as the roof caved in blocking the path after it.

“Hey! Get back here!” shouted Dante.

“Well, we showed him!” stated Symbol optimistically.

“Yeah, but I was hoping to kill him,” replied Dante sullenly.

“And I’m trying to point out the good point,” pouted Symbol.

“Your right, sorry,” apologized Dante. They ran down the hall, through the hole where the mirror had once been and took a left turn at the end.

When suddenly a giant doll at the end of this new corridor lit up with blue lightning, making it look downright creepy.

“EEEPPP!” which Symbol proved by jumping into Dante’s arms where he held her in a bridal style.

“Yeah, I don’t like those things either,” he soothed as he put the girl down and they continued, running down a stairway just before the doll and to the right. They followed it around to the left, just ahead of the turn was a room with hundreds of bronze gears that were of varying sizes on the walls. At the end of it was a glowing neon green ‘EXIT’ sign. “Exit. Good.” stated Dante as he ran into the room.

Symbol followed when she realized something: “NO IT’S A TRAP!”

Too late. Several gears moved to block the exit and two thick steel panels slammed together behind them blocking their way out.

“Not good,” groaned Dante. “Yeah. Whatever,” he started as a doll sprung from a closet.

“Oh geh! You think?!” demanded Symbol as she placed a hand on the Active Blade ready to draw it when the Phantom’s arrived.

One of the gears pulled itself from the wall and dug across the ground, letting a Lesser Blade Phantom pull itself from the crack that it left. A giant bob pin came loose from the wall and rolled towards Dante.

“LOOK OUT!”

Who was able to dodge it thanks to Symbol’s warning and let it slam into the Lesser Blade Phantom.

Once the Phantom regained its balance three more Lesser Blade Phantoms joined their brother in arms.

Dante looked at Symbol and nodded to the two on the right.

Symbol nodded back and ran at the two on the left. She grabbed one around the neck and punched it several times, before throwing it over her shoulder at its identical counterpart.

Symbol pressed the left shift lever. [MAGICAL TOUCH GO!] Then scanned the Active Ring Across the Driver’s Hand Author. [ACTIVE! C RANK SPELL!] Red lightning covered her left forearm, this time it shaped itself into the form of a blade made of pure electrical energy that came out of her knuckles moving parallel to her arm in a thin triangle shape. “Take this!” she ran forwards cutting into the two Phantoms with the blade. The one that had been hit by the bob pin was cut in half and exploded and the other now had a glowing red line going through its waist.

Dante punched his ring into the hilt of his sword before pulling open the mouth. [ONE!] Revealing a single angelic blue and demonic red sphere. [NEPHILIM SABER STRIKE!] Angelic and demonic energy gathered around the blade as he swung it upwards, sending one of the Lesser Blade Phantoms into the air.

He jumped after it, punching his ring into his Driver’s left slot. [GO! KICK STRIKE!] Power gathered in his boot as he flipped through the hair and came down with the Phantom trapped under his boot. Right where it belonged, crushing it against the ground.

He landed back on the ground and punched his ring into the hilt of his sword before pulling open the mouth. [FIVE!] Power gathered around the blade as he stabbed one of the Lesser Blade Phantoms, hard. [NEPHILIM SABER STRIKE!] Sparks came from its body as the Phantom was forced to stumble backwards.

[SIX!] Giving Dante enough time to close his sword’s mouth, punch his ring into the base of the hilt and then pull the mouth open again. [NEPHILIM SABER STRIKE!] Dante then stabbed the Phantom repeatedly, peppering it with holes.

The other Lesser Blade Phantom tried to attack him from behind only for Dante to duck and punch his ring into the base of his sword’s hilt before pulling open the mouth. [ONE!] Revealing a single angelic blue and demonic red sphere. [NEPHILIM SABER STRIKE!] Sending the Phantom into the air with another upwards slash.

He then leapt after it. [TWO!] This time when the mouth was opened it revealed two angelic blue and demonic red circles. [NEPHILIM SABER STRIKE!] He slashed it twice before spin slashing it and ending with an upwards swing that sent both halves of the Phantom further into the air.

Symbol slashed at the already damaged Lesser Blade Phantom once and then drop kicking it away before running forwards and stabbing it, delivering an upwards slash that caused it to fall over. She picked it up by the neck and slammed at karate chop into it resulting in the Phantom exploding.

The second the Phantoms were beat another four Lesser Blade Phantoms burst from the ground!

“Same tactic?” asked Symbol.

“Yeah,” replied Dante.

Symbol ran forwards, only to be hit in the faceplate by one of the Lesser Blade Phantoms, then being hit in the back by the other. She collapsed to her knees. “Why you!” she pulled out the Active Blade only for it to be knocked out of her glove by a strike to the wristlet, while she was hit from behind.

Suddenly, two new rings appeared on the index and ring finger of her right glove respectively, the one on her index finger was red with an emerald green claw-shaped gem in the centre of it that had golden outlines. The other was coloured red and had a light blue wave shaped gem in the centre of it that had dark blue outlines.

“Please let this turn the tables,.” Symbol pressed down on the right shift lever resulting in the driver’s hand author turning to the right. [MAGIC TOUCHIE HENSHIN!] Before she scanned the rings over it. [SLASHER AQUA PLEASE!] Symbol threw her right hand to the right and a pair of new glyphs appeared. The first was light green, in the centre of it was a logo of three green claws, the logo was inside a circle, inside an eight-pointed star, inside a two-layered circle that had runic text within it. The other was light blue with a wave symbol in the centre of it, it was in a circle, inside an eight-pointed star, inside a second circle that had two layers with runic text between them.

‘Symbol? Symbol. That’s my name! Kamen Rider Symbol! But how can I have two names? Figure it out later!’ The glyph moved through her, changing her forms. Her shoulder pauldrons turned dark green, with a golden curved spike pointing upwards coming out of the side of them. An armour band appeared on each of her upper arms, it was green with a golden claw-like spike coming from the middle of it that curved upwards. Forearm guards appeared on her lower arms, they were bright green with a single spike coming out of the back of them, that pointed towards her elbows. The armour on the back of her gloves turned dark green and out of them came a trio of half metre long claws, each had a sea blue propeller in the centre of it.

“Woah!” Symbol blocked the blow from the two Lesser Blade Phantoms and split kicked them back. “Kamen Rider Symbol Active Slasher Aqua Style!” she charged at one Lesser Blade Phantoms slashing at it several times with the Slasher Tidal Claws until it exploded! Symbol blocked a blow from the other Lesser Blade Phantom with her right Slasher Tidal Claws and stabbed it several times with the left Slasher Tidal Claws. She jumped up and spun, kicking the Lesser Blade Phantoms back with her heel and pressed down on the right shift lever. [MAGIC TOUCHIE GO!] Then scanned the Slasher ring over the hand author. [SLASHER MAGIC PLEASE!] Lightning that was coloured red covered all six claws. Symbol dashed forwards and slammed the right Slasher Tidal Claws into the Phantom abdomen before tearing apart its head with the other three Slasher Tidal Claws.

[THREE!] Dante pulled open his sword’s mouth. [NEPHILIM SABER STRIKE!] Power gathered around it as Dante slashed at one Lesser Blade Phantom three times.

[GO! KICK STRIKE!] Before killing it by jumping into the air and coming down with a hard overhead stomp.

[TWO!] [NEPHILIM SABER STRIKE!] He delivered several spinning slashes to the other Lesser Blade Phantom. [SIX!] [NEPHILIM SABER STRIKE!] Then stabbed it several times with the sword.

With the last of the Phantoms defeated the gears moved out of the way. “Let's go!” Dante ran towards the exit when it extended away from him! “Aw come on!” The room now had six lines divided into two groups carved into the floor outlined in bronze. Dante took no notice of them and ran right across them

“DANTE NO!” screamed Symbol. She pressed down on the right shift lever twice. [MAGIC TOUCHIE GO!] Before scanning her hand across the Hand Author. [AQUA MAGIC PLEASE!] Water surged around her left Slasher Tidal Claws, Symbol pulled her arm back and threw it forwards in a downwards swing. The action produced three crescent of compressed swirling water that roared forwards and slammed into the gear which pulled itself loose as Dante's foot hit the line. The gear exploded from the force behind them.

“Woah!” Dante combat rolled over the first section of lines.

“Never run across something like that!” shouted Symbol in anger as she jumped over them.

“Sorry!” apologised Dante. They jumped over the second set of rails and ran through the exit. Which thankfully stay where it was this time.

“Look out!” As they ran through the door Dante was forced to yank Symbol back as a spinning blade shot past them.

“HAHAHAHAHA!” Symbol then broke down laughing, as she clutched her aching stomach.

“What’s the joke I’m missing?” questioned Dante in confusion.

“Hahahah! You ahahah hair hahaha!” Symbol managed to gasp out.

Dante stared at her. “What?!”

Breathlessly Symbol pointed to the shop window.

Dante turned and stared. A white wig had fallen across his head, making it look like his hair was in a mope style and bleached white.

Suddenly, they heard a crash. Looking they saw the Monkey Phantom approaching.

“Let’s kill it!” stated Symbol pulling out the Active Rifle. She pressed the left shift lever. [MAGICAL TOUCH HENSHIN!] Then scanned the Active Ring across the Driver’s Hand Author. [ACTIVE PLEASE! LETS GO!] Symbol threw her hand out to the side and the active glyph appeared, passing through her, returning the Kamen Rider to her Active Style.

“Not in a million years,” muttered Dante. Symbol looked at him in shock before the Kamen Rider pulled off the wig and opened fire with Ebony and Ivory.

“Oh! You were talking about the hair!” realized Symbol as she added her bullets to the mix.

Kate ran up behind them as all of the bullets bounced off the smirking Phantom’s face. “That won’t work.”

“Why not?” demanded Dante looking at his guns as if they’d betrayed him.

“He’s bulletproof,” deadpanned Kate.

The Monkey Phantom leapt away over some rooftops.

Kate ran off down the pier. “There’s a rift up ahead!”

“A what?” questioned Dante as black spire rocks burst from the water and ripped holes into the wood of the pier.

“It will take you both back to the real world! We’ll come back for the Phantom!”

“What does she mean, by real world?” asked Symbol in curiosity.

“Well, this is the Slip Dimension. It's some kind of pocket dimension that high-level Phantoms can make and use to kill us.”

“So why hasn’t the Monkey Phantom just dropped the floor from under our feet?” asked Symbol as they both jumped over a gap.

“Because they don’t create it, they borrow it. There are certain rules that they have to obey!” shouted Dante as they jumped over the next gap and back onto the main pier. Building were coming apart around them, some kind of inverted gravity yanked them into the air forcing them to break apart.

“In there!” shouted Kate as they ran towards a building with a clown face sign on the front of it.

Suddenly, the Monkey Phantom's grapple hook shot past them, into the building before retracting causing the whole thing to collapse. “Well, looks like that way’s out,” commented Symbol.

Dante turned back to the Phantom. “Ok then, let's fight.”

The Monkey Phantom dropped down from the Ferris wheel onto the ground.

“Dante, Symbol, wait!” came Kate’s voice as she ran past them. She threw a Molotov at the Phantom. It scored a direct hit causing the monster to thrash around roaring in pain. “It's working, you can fight him now. It won’t be easy Alpha Phantom’s are brutal fighters,” warned Kate as she faded away.

“Yeah? Well so am I and from what I’ve seen so is Sunset,” smirked Dante.  

Both of them opened fire with their ranged weapons doing a bit of damage thanks to burns on the Phantom’s face.

Kate remembered one last piece of advice that she could give them. “Dante, Sunset can you still hear me?” she shouted.

“Yeah, we hear you!” replied Dante as he jumped over a spinning backslash from the Monkey Phantom’s knife.

“Attack its face!”

“Thanks for the advice!!” shouted Symbol. She pulled open the Active Rifle’s hand author. [COME ON SHOOTING SHAKE HANDS!] Then scanned the Active Ring across it. [ACTIVE! SHOOTING STRIKE!] She fired several silver bullets that trailed red lighting, they slammed into the Phantom’s face followed by the lightning making it roar in pain as it staggered back. The thing reared up and slashed at her, which Symbol ducked under.

Dante leapt up. [FOUR!] [NEPHILIM SABER STRIKE!] He slashed the Monkey Phantom's face several times with his sword making it stumble in pain.

Symbol pressed the left shift lever once. [MAGICAL TOUCH GO!] Then she scanned the Active Ring across the Driver’s Hand Author. [ACTIVE! C RANK SPELL!] Symbol pulled back her palm and thrust it forwards. A beam of red lightning burst from it and slammed into the Phantom’s chest. She had been aiming for the face but stumbled when it roared.

The Monkey Phantom fell to the ground winded from the blast to its gut. “You feel it, don’t you?” shouted Dante as he punched his ring into the hilt of his sword before opening the mouth. [THREE!] Revealing three angelic blue and demonic red circles. [NEPHILIM SABER STRIKE!] Then he started to repeatedly slash at the monster’s face.

Symbol pressed down on the right shift lever. [MAGIC TOUCHIE HENSHIN!] Then she scanned the Slasher and Aqua Rings across the Driver’s Hand Author. [SLASHER AQUA PLEASE!] Symbol threw her right arm out to the side, as the sound of claws slashing followed by a wave splashing came from the driver, the slasher and aqua glyphs moved through her, transforming the Kamen Rider into her active slasher aqua style. She pressed down on the right shift lever three times. [MAGIC TOUCHIE GO!] Before scanning her right hand across the Driver. [SLASHER AQUA MAGIC PLEASE!] A bright red aura surrounded the Slasher Tidal Claws. She leapt at the Phantom spinning while holding her claws out to the side cutting into the Phantom as she spun leaving several long gashes.

After several slashes, the Phantom was able to get back to its feet and Symbol switched back to ranged combat with the Active Rifle as did Dante with Ebony and Ivory.

It quickly jumped away and back up to the Ferris wheel, where it pulled out its grapple gun again while holding on with one hand. “Oh, I can see where this is going,” muttered Symbol.

“Get back down here!” yelled Dante.

“I don’t think that’s going to work!” shouted Symbol as she opened fire alongside Dante.

“Now use your guns to shoot him down!” came Kate’s voice.

“What does it look like we’re doing?!” demanded Symbol. The Monkey Phantom fired its gun and a hand of earth came out of the wooden walkway to grab them. It managed to get Dante but missed Symbol.

“DANTE!” shouted Symbol as she slashed at the hand with the Active Blade and the Slasher Tidal Claws, failing to make a dent! “Let him go you monster!”

Suddenly, the Active Ring vanished in a flash of light and was replaced by a silver ring with a purple diamond-shaped gem in the centre of it. “Just in time,” Symbol pressed down on the left shift lever, turning the Hand Author in that direction. [MAGICAL TOUCH HENSHIN!] Then she scanned the new ring across. [BURST PLEASE!] Downbeat rock music came from the driver as a purple glyph appeared behind her, it was a purple B, inside a purple diamond, with a purple eight pointed star, inside a purple two layered diamond, between the layers was purple runic text. It passed over her transforming Sunset into her new form. Her helmet remained the same, while her faceplate shifted. It was now a purple diamond with silver outlines that had runic symbols engraved into them. Her chestplate was now a purple diamond with a silver framework and a bronze diamond in the centre of it. The inside of her robe was now dark purple and the chest of it now bore a purple diamond with a silver framework on each side, with two halves of a purple diamond on each side. The Active Blade shift to that it was now a silver wand with a hand author in the centre of it. [CAST THE SPELL!]

She looked at the weapon. “You cannot be serious!” suddenly a blast of aura shot out of the Burst Wand and slammed into the earth hand destroying it. “Ok, that's better!”

“Thanks,” panted Dante. With a snarl, he opened fire on the Monkey Phantom with Ebony and Ivory.

“I’m with you!” Symbol pressed the left shift lever once. [MAGICAL TOUCH GO!] The scanned the Burst Ring across the Driver’s Hand Author [BURST! C RANK SPELL!] Four balls of fire burst from the air around Symbol before they fused into two streams of flame and arc out to the side they came around in a pincer attack slamming into the Monkey Phantom’s face.

“That it! It's working!” called Kate as the Monkey Phantom gave a groan of pain, falling from the Ferris wheel hitting its head as it fell down.

[THREE!] [NEPHILIM SABER STRIKE!] shouted Dante’s sword as he started slashing at the demon’s face with the sword.

“Let's do it!” Symbol pressed down on the left shift lever twice. [MAGICAL TOUCH GO!] Then scanned the Burst Ring across the Driver’s Hand Author. [BURST! B RANK SPELL!] A large wall of earth appeared above the Phantom and dropped down. The attack smashed into the Monkey Phantom making it howl in agony. The Phantom climbed it its feet and lashed out with its knife, forcing the two of them to jump back.

Dante fired with Ebony and Ivory, when the Monkey Phantom leapt forwards, bringing its knife down.

“AARHHHHHH!!!!!!!” screamed Dante as the knife cut him from his left shoulder to his left hip.

“Dante!” shouted Symbol, she pulled open the Burst Wand’s hand author. [COME ON CAST SHAKE HANDS!] Then she scanned the Burst Ring across it. [BURST! CAST STRIKE!] Symbol fired a continuous beam of pure magic at the Phantom’s face forcing it to stumble back. With a growl, it jumped over the beam and aimed to bring its knife down on the girl.

[FIVE!] [NEPHILIM SABER STRIKE!] But Dante had recovered. He leapt and drove his sword into the Phantom’s side, throwing its aim off and making it stumble once more.

The Phantom snarled and repeated his attack, only for it to be dodged.

Symbol changed forms. First, she pressed the left Shift Lever. [MAGICAL TOUCH HENSHIN!] Before swapping the Burst Ring for the Active Ring and scanning it. [ACTIVE PLEASE! LETS GO!] As the active glyph passed through her, Symbol pressed the right Shift Lever. [MAGIC TOUCHIE HENSHIN!] Then scanned the Slasher and Aqua Rings across the Driver [SLASHER AQUA PLEASE!] The Kamen Rider threw her arms out to the sides. She then jumped up and slashed the Phantom in the face several times with the Slasher Tidal Claws.

Dante was using slashing on its legs, when the Phantom spun around and attempted to hit him, ending up backhanding Symbol instead! “Sunset!” shouted Dante. “Die! Bastard!” [FOUR!] [NEPHILIM SABER STRIKE!] He leapt up and started slashing at the monster’s face. The Monkey Phantom rammed its knife down but Dante dodged to the side and started slashing at its face before dodging another slash. [EBONY AND IVORY STRIKE!] Then firing Ebony and Ivory’s Ricochet blast at it. The two bullets spiralled around each other and sent the monster staggering backwards several paces.

It slashed outwards in a wide arc, the blade right on course towards Dante’s head and he wouldn’t be able to move in time.

[COME ON CAST SHAKE HANDS!] [BURST! CAST STRIKE!] A beam of high compressed aura flew past Dante and slammed into the Phantom’s blade. Which pierced the magic holding the beam together, all of that magical energy rushed out in an explosion, causing the Phantom to lose balance and fall over, it fell on its own knife resulting it in roaring in pain.

It sprung back to its feet when Dante attack its legs. Spinning around and slashing again. [GO! KICK STRIKE!] Only to fail a get a charged foot smashed into its hip.

Symbol switched the Burst Ring for the Active Ring and pressed the left Shift Lever. [MAGICAL TOUCH HENSHIN!] Then she scanned the Active Ring across the Driver’s Hand Author. [ACTIVE PLEASE! LETS GO!] The active glyph appeared to her left and moved over her as Symbol drew the Active Blade and opened its Hand Author. [COME ON SLASH SHAKE HANDS!] Then she scanned the Active Ring across it. [ACTIVE! SLASH STRIKE!] Thick red lightning covered the blade causing it to crackle with sheer electronic energy before Symbol raised it up and brought it down sending a crescent of compressed lightning into the Monkey Phantom’s legs, making it fall over as well as losing a leg. “...I didn’t expect it to be so powerful,” muttered Symbol as the Phantom thrashed around screaming in pain.

“I saw how much lightning that sword emitted!” shouted Dante as he opened fire with Ebony and Ivory. “What did you think was gonna happen with that much electrical energy?!”

The Monkey Phantom climbed back to its foot and slashed down with its dagger.

Dante jumped out of the way but didn’t realize that Symbol was standing right behind him and she was still recovering from using that much magic. He had been blocking her view so the blade slammed into her chestplate sending sparks up from it! “Sunset!” yelled Dante. “DIE!” He punched his ring into the Driver’s left slot. [GO! KICK STRIKE!] Then punched the ring into his sword’s hilt and pulled open the mouth. [ONE!] Revealing a single demonic red and angelic blue circle. [NEPHILIM SABER STRIKE!] He held his sword in a reverse grip, charged energy into it, within a second it was partially humming with power and slashed it forwards sending a wave of energy at the Phantom’s face.

It gave a loud screeching roar of pain as it was sent flying back from the sheer force of the attack. It crashed painfully into the Ferris wheel. With a roar, it leapt up again and brought its knife down at Dante.

Symbol pressed down on the right Shift Lever. [MAGIC TOUCHIE HENSHIN!] Then scanned the Slasher and Aqua Rings across the Driver’s Hand Author. [SLASHER AQUA PLEASE!] As the slasher and aqua glyphs appeared to her right and moved through her, she pressed down on the right shift lever four times. [MAGIC TOUCHIE GO!] Then she scanned the Slasher and Aqua Rings across the Driver’s Hand Author. [VERY NICE! SLASHER AQUA MAGIC! THE BEST!] She started spinning while locking her claws above her head. Symbol spun so fast that she became a horizontal tornado, water was pulled from the air covering her. Jumping she slammed into the Monkey Phantom’s face. The Phantom was sent flying back.

“Nice” [THREE! TWO!] [NEPHILIM SABER STRIKE!] Dante dashed forwards and started slashing at the demon’s dead with slashes and spinning slashes. [ONE!] [NEPHILIM SABER STRIKE!] He slashes upwards with his sword, using the momentum to carry himself into the air. “Do you fucking Phantom’s even feel pain?!” [GO! KICK STRIKE!] Before shooting back down and slamming the charged boot into the Monkey Phantom’s head.

The Phantom got back to its boot, Dante was able to send several bullets into its face with Ebony and Ivory, Symbol followed with the Active Rifle before the Phantom jumped back. It took a deep breath and some kind of black matter appeared in its mouth, before it blew it out, surrounded the area in the thick black fog.

“What the-?! I can’t see a thing!” shouted Symbol.

“It’s thicker than pea soup!” added Dante. “MOVE!” he tackled Symbol to the side as a spinning blade shot out of the smoke. From her angle Symbol could see that blade coming back. She kicked Dante off her and rolled to the side letting the blade pass between them.

After about a second the blade to out to their right. “Shit!” forcing both to the dodge again. They expected it to come back, but the blade did not.

“...Where’d it go?!” demanded Dante.

“MOVE!” Symbol tackled him to the side as the blade slammed into her back drawing sparks from her armour.

“Sunset!” shouted Dante. “You ok?”

“I’ll, be… fine… the armour took most…. Of the damage.”

“How the hell is he doing that?!”

“That mist must let the knife teleport since he’s got a bad leg now. There's no way he can move that fast!”

Dante opened fire on the blade with Ebony and Ivory managing to slow it down a bit. “Any ideas?!” he demanded as they dodge again.

“I’ve got nothing!” shouted Symbol, the knife came at them from the left this time, it’s speed increasing as time went on.

“Well I have, but I need time!”

“I’ll get you it!” Symbol dove to the right. She pulled open the Active Blade’s Hand Author. [COME ON SLASH SHAKE HANDS!] She then scanned the Slasher and Aqua Rings across it. [SLASHER! AQUA! SLASH STRIKE!] Green and light blue magic gathered around the Active Blade, forming a green claw-shaped outline, while two claws made of water appeared from the hilt, one on either side of the blade’s main blade. The knife came spinning out of the mist again as Symbol leapt forwards. She slashed her blade at the weapon causing it to fly back into the mist and slam into Monkey Phantom’s face.

It gave a loud roar of pain before its eyes widened as Symbol came at it. With a roar, she brought the Active Blade down cutting into the Phantom’s face drawing sparks like blood.

[GO! KICK STRIKE!] “Sunset MOVE!” roared Dante. [SIX!] [NEPHILIM SABER STRIKE!] Dark red lightning was covering his sword making it so that the thing could barely be seen He then slashed it forwards six times, releasing six energy waves that slammed into the Monkey Phantom with all the force of a speeding bullet train. The monster fell to the ground with a weakened groan.

Dante got his breath back and stomped up to the demon. “Game over,” he stated smugly.

“Son and Daughter of Sparda,” growled out the Monkey Phantom its voice sounding like an avalanche.

“Son of who?” questioned Dante in confusion as Symbol walked over. Pressing down on both of the Shift Levers to return to her human form.

“The two of you have been found. You are both dead, just like your whore mother.”

“Whore mother? I don’t know my mother. But if you're calling me a son of a bitch, then you wouldn’t be the first!” Dante punctate the word first by swing the sword down on the Phantom’s head killing it at long last.

As they returned to the real world, Dante fingered the red crystal amulet around his neck. “My mother, I barely remember her,” Muttered Dante.

“At least you have memories,” Sunset pointed out.

“What do you? Oh right, complete amnesia.”


Hour later


Dante and Sunset were walking along a sidewalk away from the pier. Dante had returned to his human form. He stood at around six feet and with a more rounded face, a small scar going across his right eyebrow and cheek a wide jaw and his eye colour seemed to be grey-blue. His hair was black, with the sides of his head shaved, forming a mohawk out of the hair at the top of his head, tapering off into a point at the nape of his neck. He also sported a strange glowing tattoo on his back between his shoulder blades. His attire consisted of a faded black, 3/4-length, hooded leather jacket with red interior linings and the British Union flag sewn on the left arm, a gray tank top, black fingerless gloves, black faded jeans, black military boots, and a necklace with a red gem in the centre of it.

A black car drove up to them with Kate at the wheel. “Are you ok, Dante, Sunset?”

“How do you know our names?” asked Dante.

“That is a bit suspicious,” added Sunset.

“My boss knows the two of you. He wants to meet,” when Kate got no answer she continued. “Please. I helped both of you back there.”

Dante gave a scoff as he leant on the car’s window. “We didn’t ask for your help,” he heard the sound of a door opening and closing. Looking to the side he saw that Sunset had gotten into the car. “What are you doing?”

“It's either her or the police,” came the deadpanned reply.

Dante sighed as he got in next to Kat, who then drove off performing a U turn as she did so. “I’m with an organisation called The Order. Heard of it?”

“Something to do with that masked freak on the net?” questioned Dante.

“That's my boss.”

“Wonderful. Can’t wait.”

“I’m sorry. What are you two talking about?” demanded Sunset.

“Couple of years ago, some girl in a mask started appearing on the internet. Ranting and raving about how the world was asleep and needed to wake up.”

Sunset turned to Dante. “...And you want to meet this girl?!” she demanded in disbelief.

“I wasn’t gonna come along until you got into the car!” shouted Dante back.

“That was before I knew the guy was a lunatic!” defended Sunset.

Kate sighed. “This is gonna be a long drive.”


News report:


“We’re just receiving reports of a terrorist attack that had taken place at the Bellevue pier in the western district of the city. Police are asking the public to remain vigilant as future terror attacks could take place anywhere, any time and when you least expect it.”


Office:


A bald man in a suit was sitting behind a desk. He had several scars across his face and a his right eye was blind. Leaning on the desk was a lady with long blond hair and a dress that revealed most of her cleavage. “We have your scent, Son and Daughter of Sparda. Now it's only a matter of time.” Gloated the bald man.
> S1E2 Home Truths Part 1
> --------------------------------------------------------------------------

The three of them continued driving until the sun had sunk over the horizon. Kate then turned her car down an alleyway and through a gate, which opened automatically. Kate drove until they reached the end of the alleyway and parked the car outside an old complex that looked to have been abandoned long ago. She turned off the engine and got out with Dante and Sunset following her lead. Kate turned to the two of them. “Welcome to the Order,” she stated.

“It’s not what I was expecting,” replied Dante.

“It looks like a bit of a dump,” added Sunset.

“That’s the idea,” deadpanned Kate. She entered a building by ducking under a half-open garage door that had graffiti spray painted onto it.

“Ah! The hiding in plain sight trick!” realized Sunset as she and Dante followed Kate into the building.

“The Phantom’s are among Dante, Sunset. They are enslaving mankind,” explained Kate as she walked up to a wall. She pressed her thumb against a certain spot that caused the brickwork to move to the side, revealing a keypad. Ironically, the bricks were graffitied to form a skull and the keypad was in its mouth. Kate typed in a code and the brickwork that made up the eye of the skull moved to the side, revealing a scanned which Kate pressed her eye too. “The world is asleep, brainwashed and helpless,” the whole wall moved away making Sunset gasped in awe. “We’re fighting back.”

Both Dante and Sunset followed Kate, with the former glancing up at a camera that was tracking them. “We are a small handful of freedom fighters. We are the last and the only line of defence.”

“Defence?” Dante ran his fingers along a wall and looked at the dust they had collected. “You’ve got no chance,” he flicked the dust off.

“We don’t leave things to chance!” snapped out Kate before she took a deep breath and calmed herself. While they had been talking they had walked up a short staircase into a room that was full of people dressed in white lab coats who were working on monitors. “We’ve accumulated vast intelligence on the Phantoms as well as the people who are collaborating with them.”

Dante and Sunset were looking around the place in awe. Well, Sunset was in awe but Dante was indifferent. “We can hit them where it hurts,” explained Kate as she folded her arms behind her back and walked through a pair of steel doors that slide open and into a room with a single occupant.

Standing in the centre of the room was another Kamen Rider. His helmet was silver with an orange circle shaped jewel for a faceplate that had silver outlines and a pair of silver goggle-like visors over his eyes. Over the helmet was white plating that looked like a white hood with golden outlines. His suit was pure white with attached white boots that had a black sole as well as black attached gloves with black armour on the back of them. He wore a white robe with golden outlines that stopped just above his ankles and was worn under a white waist-length cape with golden outlines. White shoulder pauldrons with golden outlines and a golden circle in the centre of them covered his shoulders. Onyx black wristlets and ankles with golden framework covered his wrists and ankles. Going down each side of his chest and looping under his arms was a pair of silver ring holsters. Around his waist was a Wizard Driver like Sunset’s only it was outlined in red. In his right hand was a silver cane that had silver buttons on the side and a golden spear on each end of it.

“Amazing,” he uttered. “Dante, Sunset, it’s really you two,” he greeted.

Dante just shrugged while Sunset gained a confused look as to how this third Kamen Rider knew them.

“You don’t remember me?” it was more of a statement than a question.

“No,” stated Dante bluntly.

After a few seconds of silence, the man asked: “How much of your childhood do you remember?”

“Not much,” replied Dante simply. “I had meningitis when I was seven. Wiped my memory, why?”

The Kamen Rider turned to Sunset who was looking at some of the computer screens. “And you Sunset?”

“Other than manners, how to talk, read and write as well as how to fight and some other bits of random information that don’t make a lot of sense? The first thing I remember is waking up in the Slip Dimension yesterday,” came the reply.

The Kamen Rider gave wince at Sunset’s story. “Ouch,” he then gave a mix between a scoff and a chuckle. “Hah! They told me that I had a car accident that resulted in total amnesia. Age: Seven,” he explained.

“I’m starting to see a pattern here,” muttered Sunset.

Dante sure as heck didn’t. “Your point?” he demanded, still confused as to where the other Kamen Rider was going with this.

The Kamen Rider stepped forwards. “Meningitis is a human affliction. You are not human Dante. Therefore you cannot be affected by it!”

“Not being human would explain how you're still alive after getting all of those injuries when we were fighting the Monkey Phantom,” muttered Sunset.

“All war is fought with deception and you have been deceived. Your past has been hidden from you for a reason,” explained the white Kamen Rider.

“Rewind a bit, how are you again?” interrupted Dante.

The Kamen Rider took several steps back. “My name is Vergil, Kamen Rider Vergil. I established The Order to fight the Phantoms,” the now named Vergil turned on his heel and gestured at the space around them.

“Besides with swords, bullets and magic you mean?” questioned Dante.

Vergil turned back to Dante and Sunset. “Such weapons can win battles, yes. But not the war. We use force, yes, but we also use intelligence, politics and propaganda,” he had started to pace at some point during his little speech.

Dante looked amused. “You really believe you can make a dent?” he questioned in no small amount of disbelief.

Sunset kicked him in the shin.

“OW! What was that for?!” demanded Dante as he hopped around on one foot in pain. 	Sunset’s kicks were hard!

“Mocking people that are risking their lives to try and save the world,” came the blunt reply.

Dante was about to snap at her when he realised something. Turning to Vergil he stated in an accusing tone of voice. “So that’s what this is about. You need us to help you fight the Phantom’s, help save the world.”

“What else were you planning on doing with your life?” asked Vergil.

Dante was about to say something, probably refuse.

Sunset spoke up. “I’m in.”

Dante looked at her in shock.

“What? The Phantom’s aren’t gonna leave us alone unless we destroy them. So why not join up with the people and Kamen Rider that also fights them and want all of the Phantom’s dead?”

Kate stepped forward and began to speak. “Dante, I don’t think you realise what is at stake here-”

Vergil raised a gloved hand, cutting her off. “If you want to leave, turn your back on me, then I’m powerless to stop you.”

Dante looked about ready to do just that.

“But at least give me a chance to show you. To show the both of you,” pleaded Vergil to his follow Kamen Riders.

“Show us what?” asked Dante after Vergil paused.

“Who you both really are.”

Hook, line and sinker.


Next Day


Kate drove her car through the gates in the wall of the ruins of an old mansion. The word ‘Paradise’ was woven into the archway over the gates.

‘Sure as heck doesn’t look like paradise,’ thought Sunset but was smart enough not to say it out loud.

“This was your home, for both of you,” stated Vergil once they were inside the ruin’s entrance hall.

“I don’t remember,” replied Dante.

“Me neither,” added Sunset as the untransformed Kamen Riders walked up beside Vergil who was still in his armour.

“You will,” replied Vergil. He turned to Kate. “Kate, open the gateway,” he ordered.

Kate nodded in reply. She took a roll of paper from the harness on her back and placed it onto the floor, unrolling it once she had done so.

Dante looked at Kate in confusion before asking. “What are you doing?”

Kate took out a spray paint can from where its holder was buckled to the side of her belt as she explained. “Our world and the Slip Dimension created by the Phantom’s are very closely super-positioned. They collide in places causing what we call rifts,” Dante and Sunset knelt down as Kate started spraying a white compound onto the magical circle that was cut into the paper. “It’s here, in the rifts, where we can create gateways to and from the Slip Dimension.”

Dante reached down, scraped up some of the compounds and sniffed it before pulling a face. “Doesn’t smell good. What’s in the can?” he questioned.

Kate peeled back the paper, revealing the magic circle that was now on the ground. “A compound I created based on an old Wiccan recipe. Sea salt, shark oil, iron shavings, desiccated squirrel semen, wolf hair-”

Kate would have continued, but Dante whipped his fingers on her jacket. “Good stuff,” there was no small amount of sarcasm in his voice.

Kate looked down to see Sunset weakly tugging at her socks, the look on her face showed that she was about to hurl. Kate sweatdropped. “I’m going to shut up now,” she turned to Vergil. “It’s ready.”

“Go ahead,” Vergil pointed to the circle. “The house holds secrets. I’ve found mine, now it’s your turn.”

“How will we get back?” asked Dante as he and Sunset stepped into the magic circle, which started to glow.

“We’ll handle that,” replied Vergil. “Be careful, it can get rough in there,” he warned the two of them.

Dante turned to Kate. “I like it rough,” he stated in a flirty voice that got him a punch to the head from Sunset. “OW!”

Once Dante and Sunset were in the Slip Dimension, Kate asked Vergil the question that had been plaguing her mind with doubt in her voice. “Is this really going to work? He doesn’t seem to care and she had no idea what she’s getting into.”

“Their both raw, just like you were when I first found you,” pointed out Vergil mildly.

Kate looked down, then at Vergil from under her hood as she gripped her arm.


Slip Dimension


Dante and Sunset appeared in the Slip Dimension. “Let’s go!” shouted Sunset. She ran forwards, only to be yanked back by Dante.

“First we transform so that we’re ready if a Phantom attacks us,” Dante pointed out.

Sunset blushed as both of them held their Driver On Rings over their buckles. [DRIVER ON!] shouted both of the buckles as Sunset’s added. [PLEASE!] A magic circle appeared in front of each buckle as they grew out. Dante’s was an angelic blue circle, inside a demonic red eight-pointed star. They were inside a second circle that had two layers, the inner layer was demonic red while the outer layer was angelic blue, between the two layers was text made of the two colours. Sunset’s circle was her active magic circle.

Sunset pressed the left Shift Lever turning the Wizard Driver’s Hand Author to the left. [MAGICAL TOUCH HENSHIN!] “HENSHIN!” shouted Sunset as she held the Active Ring on her left hand across the Wizard Driver’s Hand Author. [ACTIVE PLEASE!] She held out her left hand to the side and the active circle appeared, passing over her and transforming her into Kamen Rider Symbol Active Style. [LET’S GO!]

Dante punched the Nephilim Ring into his Driver’s left slot. [SET!] “Henshin!” he turned the ring, making the gate-shaped Driver open. [OPEN!] The magic circle appeared in front of him and moved back towards him. [N-E-P-H-I-L-I-M] Once it passed through he had transformed into Kamen Rider Dante.

Now that they were transformed they were able to get a look around. The house’s bricks and floors were now coloured blood red and black crystals were climbing up the walls. Phantom goo was splattered on the floor and walls in various place indicating there had been a battle here at some point in the past. ‘From the amount of damage, it was clearly a big one,’ thought Symbol.

“Well, Kate was telling the truth, we’re back in the Slip Dimension,” Symbol spoke aloud. She was not sure how to feel about that. Part of her was glad to be getting some answers about her past. But the rest was annoyed to be back in the place in which she had been attacked.

“Let’s get this over with,” replied Dante. They started running down the hall, after several seconds they arrived in what looked like a lobby. It had a sun-like pattern painted on the floor, a stairway was positioned at the far end and split two leading up to a pair of balconies which a door at each end of them both.

“So this was our home?” muttered Dante.

“Well, show us your secrets!” shouted Symbol. She got a strange look from Dante since she was talking to a building. They ran up the first flight of stairs and came to the split. “Left or right?” asked Symbol.

“Left,” replied Dante. They ran up the rest of the stairs and through the door. They followed the hall around to the left and into a room which had been trashed. Directly opposite the door was a portrait of a man in a suit holding a sword, but the face had been clawed off. “I remember this place,” realised Dante.

“Me to,” added Symbol.

Their memories pulled up images of a room with chairs, a sofa, a desk and several bookcases that lined the walls. Along with rich red walls that had golden ivory patterns painted into them, white marble columns, along with the walls having three white borders. They also remember another pair of sofas and a coffee table along with red curtains at the windows.

After a few seconds, Symbol and Dante snapped back to the reality of a ruined room, bare of any furniture and faded walls that had been scorched, especially around the painting where the walls were black. They both were a bit shaken but shook it off as they walked towards the painting.

“And who the hell are you?” asked Dante.

Symbol nudged him with her elbow and pointed towards the bronze nameplate at the bottom of the frame.

“Sparda?” muttered Dante. Then his visors went wide as he remembered what the Monkey Phantom had called him. “My dad?” he questioned.

Both of them now wished the painting’s face hadn’t been clawed off. The tender moment was destroyed when the Phantom’s appeared. “Great,” muttered Dante as his visors narrowed in anger.

“Let’s get them!” shouted Symbol as she pulled open the Active Blade’s Hand Author. [COME ON A SLASH SHAKE HANDS!] Then she scanned the Active Ring across it. [ACTIVE! SLASH STRIKE!] Red lightning crackled around the blade. Symbol pulled it back and then slammed it down. “Red Slash!” a Lesser Blade Phantom had a red line cut through the centre of it before it exploded.

Dante fired at another Lesser Blade Phantom with Ebony and Ivory before drawing Rebellion and punching his ring into the base of the handle, making the mouth open. [FIVE!] Revealing five red and blue circles. [NEPHILIM SABER STRIKE!] Red and blue energy covered the length of the blade. “Stinger!” with that roar Dante stabbed the Lesser Blade Phantom in the gut, making sparks come from its stomach as it staggered backwards.

With an opening, Dante punching his ring into the sword’s base, making the mouth close and then open again. [SIX!] This time an extra red and blue circle was revealed. [NEPHILIM SABER STRIKE!] Red and blue energy covered the blade as Dante ran forwards at high speed. “Trillion Stabs!” he shouted as he stabbed so fast that his arm turned into a blur making a continuous amount of sparks come from the Phantom which then exploded.

Another attack came from behind Dante, he quickly punched his Nephilim Ring into the hammers of Ebony and Ivory. [EBONY AND IVORY STRIKE!] White energy gathered around the barrel of Ivory, while black energy covered Ebony’s barrel. Dante spun around and fired. “Ricoshot!” a pair of bullets that were spiralling around each other slammed into the gut of the Lesser Blade Phantom. Sparks exploded as it was sent flying backwards, being damaged by the drill effect of the two charged bullets.

Dante flipped the sword into a reverse grip as he pulled the trigger on it. The eyes shone as the red and blue energy covering the blade reached critical. [NEPHILIM SABER STRIKE!] Dante slashed the blade down. “Drive!” firing a large crescent of energy that slammed into the Lesser Blade Phantom making it explode.

The Slasher and Aqua Rings appeared on Symbol’s right index and ring fingers respectively. Symbol pressed the right Shift Lever making the Wizard Driver’s Hand Author switch to that side. [MAGIC TOUCHIE HENSHIN!] She then scanned the two rings across the Wizard Driver’s Hand Author. [SLASHER AQUA PLEASE!] Symbol threw her hand out to the right and the two magic circles appeared, moving through her and transforming her into the Active Slasher Aqua Style. Symbol slashed at one Lesser Blade Phantom several times. She grabbed its shoulder with one hand and then stabbed it in the gut, repeatedly with the other hand’s Slash Tidal Claws. An uppercut slash sent the Lesser Blade Phantom into the air where it then exploded.

Then Symbol turned to the other Lesser Blade Phantom and slashed at it with several wide swings before kicking it away and pressing the right shift lever. [MAGIC TOUCHIE GO!] Then scanning her right hand across the Wizard Driver’s Hand Author. [SLASHER AQUA MAGIC PLEASE!] She jumped into the air and held her Slasher Tidal Claws out to the side as she spun like a top. “Spinning Claws!” the Lesser Blade Phantom was cut to ribbons by the attack.

Dante attacked another Lesser Blade Phantom by punching his Nephilim Ring into the base of his sword. [ONE!] The mouth opened to reveal a single red and blue circle. [NEPHILIM SABER STRIKE!] Red and blue energy covered the blade. “High Time!” Dante slashed upwards, sending the Lesser Blade Phantom shooting into the air, Dante used the sword’s momentum to carry himself after it.

He quickly punched the Nephilim Ring into the base of the sword. [FOUR!] The mouth closed and opened again, this time four red and blue circles were revealed. [NEPHILIM SABER STRIKE!] Red and blue energy ran up and down the right side of the blade. “Aerial Rave!” Dante slashed several times with the energized side of the blade. The Lesser Blade Phantom had micro explosions going off around its body but was not dead yet.

Dante punched his Nephilim Ring into the base of his sword. [TWO!] The mouth closed and opened revealing two red and blue circles. [NEPHILIM SABER STRIKE!] The sword’s eyes flashed as red and blue energy ran through the blade. “Roulette!” shouted Dante as he spun around, cutting into the Lesser Blade Phantom and making it explode at least.

As he landed back on the ground, two more Lesser Blade Phantoms appeared to gang up on him. Dante blocked the sword slash from one of them with his own sword and then shot at the other Lesser Blade Phantom with Ebony as he tried to buy time.

Symbol switched the Active Ring for the Burst ring and pressed the left Shift Lever, turning the Wizard Driver’s Hand Author to the left. [MAGICAL TOUCH HENSHIN!] Then she scanned the Burst Ring. [BURST PLEASE!] The burst magic circle appeared behind Symbol and moved through her. [CAST THE SPELL!] Transforming her into the burst style. With the transformation complete, Symbol pressed down on the left Shift Lever once. [MAGICAL TOUCH GO!] Then she scanned the Burst Ring. [BURST! C RANK SPELL!] Dante found that he didn’t have to buy any time as a trio of fireballs slammed into the Lesser Blade Phantom sending it flying backwards.

He glanced over a Symbol and saw her in burst style. “Got your back!” she called out making Dante nod.

Turning back to the Lesser Blade Phantom that he was locking blades with Dante punched the Nephilim Ring into the base of his sword’s hilt. [TWO!] The mouth snapped open to reveal a pair of red and blue circles. [NEPHILIM SABER STRIKE!] Red and blue energy covered the sword, Dante was able to break the blade lock. “Death Coil!” he hit the Lesser Blade Phantom with several spinning slashes and ended the combo with a hard downwards slash.

[NEPHILIM SABER STRIKE!] The last thing that the Lesser Blade Phantom saw was a blaze of red and blue energy roaring toward it. The last thing that it heard was Kamen Rider Dante shouting: “Drive!” before it exploded.

Another Lesser Blade Phantom ran at Symbol who fired several blasts of magical energy that blasted it backwards. It struggled back to its feet before another blast of purple magical energy slammed into its face and made it fall over again. “The finale!” shouted Symbol as she pressed the left shift lever twice. [MAGICAL TOUCH GO!] Then she scanned the Burst Ring across the Wizard Driver’s Hand Author. [BURST! B RANK SPELL!] Water in the air condensed and then froze over, producing four snowflake-shaped ice mirrors that floated around the Lesser Blade Phantom. “Ice Mirror Surround!” shouted Symbol. She charged mana into her hands then clapped them together before pulling them apart and forming a ball of ice blue mana between them. She fired it in a blast which shot into one mirror and came out of another slamming into the Phantom. Then the blast turned back into a ball that bounced off and back into the mirror before emerging from a different one.

“That’s that,” Symbol turned away as the ball continued the process as the Lesser Blade Phantom did its best to defend and failed miserably as whenever it blocked the ball, it just went back into a mirror and came out of another until the Lesser Blade Phantom fell over and exploded.

At that moment what looked like a Lesser Blade Phantom pulled itself out of the ground. It had spiky black hair, a skull mask with a single glowing red eye and thicker armour than a Lesser Blade Phantom. On its left arm was a circle shaped shield with jagged edges and it’s other arm had a blade with jagged edges in the place of a hand.

“If we’re going to call that thing something then it should be the Death Knight Phantom,” stated Symbol dryly.

“Call it whatever you want! Let’s just kill it already!” Dante opened fire with Ebony and Ivory, only for the bullets to bounce of the Death Knight Phantom’s shield. “Ok then, let’s try this!” he punched the Nephilim Ring into the hammers of both Ebony and Ivory. [EBONY AND IVORY STRIKE!] Black energy gathered in front of Ebony’s barrel while white energy gathered in front of Ivory’s barrel. “Ricoshot!” shouted Dante as he pulled the triggers, firing a pair of charged bullets that spiralled around each other like a drill. The Death Knight Phantom raised its shield and was forced back several feet but there was no damage to the Phantom nor to the shield.

“Ok, so the gun’s aren’t working, let's try the sword!” Dante drew said weapon and charged as he punched the Nephilim Ring into the base of his sword’s hilt. [THREE!] The mouth opened revealing three red and blue circles. [NEPHILIM SABER STRIKE!] Red and blue energy ran into both edges of the sword. “Hacker!” shouted Dante as he slashed at the Death Knight Phantom several times. But each blow was blocked by the shield “What the-?!” suddenly, the Death Knight Phantom thrust its shield forwards, knocking Dante off balance. The red energy gathered around its sword as it was charged and the Death Knight Phantom got ready for a downwards slash.

Seeing that Dante was in danger, Symbol pressed the left Shift Lever three times. [MAGICAL TOUCH GO!] Then scanned the Burst Ring across the Wizard Driver’s Hand Author. [BURST! A RANK SPELL!] She slapped her palm against the ground. “Earth Wall!” Dante would have taken a slash to the chest if a wall of earth had not burst from the ground. “Dante, fall back and wait for a good moment to strike! I’ll hold it off!”

Knowing that the Burst Style was not good for close combat, Symbol switched the Burst Ring with the Active Ring and pressed down on the Wizard Driver’s left Shift Lever. [MAGICAL TOUCH HENSHIN!] Then she scanned the Active Ring. [ACTIVE PLEASE!] She held out her left hand and the active magic circle appeared. [LET’S GO!] It moved over Symbol transforming her back into the Active Style. She then slid the Slash and Aqua Rings onto her right index and ring fingers before she pressed the right shift lever. [MAGIC TOUCHIE HENSHIN!] As the Wizard Driver’s Hand Author switched to the right Symbol scanned her right hand over it. [SLASHER AQUA PLEASE!] The slasher and aqua magical circles appeared to her right and moved through her, transforming Symbol into the Active Slasher Aqua style. Symbol attacked, she slashed at the Death Knight Phantom’s shield as fast and as hard as she could for about a minute before having to stop to take a breather.

Suddenly, the Death Knight Phantom charged up its sword and swung downwards. Symbol crossed the Slasher Tidal Claws over her helmet to block the blow, but she was shocked by the amount of strength that the Death Knight Phantom possessed. ‘What’s with this thing?! My slasher style boosts my strength and yet I’m still being forced back?!’ Symbol was able to reach down with her right hand and press the right Shift Lever once. [MAGIC TOUCHIE GO!] With her left arm trembling from the effort of holding the Death Knight Phantom back Symbol scanned her right hand across the Wizard Driver’s Hand Author. [SLASHER MAGIC PLEASE!] Red lightning covered her right arm’s Slasher Tidal Claws as Symbol slammed them into the Phantom’s chest. A beam of pure electrical energy and heat erupted from the claws, piercing through the Death Knight Phantom’s chest and forcing it to break off its attack as it stumbled back with sparks bleed from the wound while red lightning crackled over its body.

“Let’s hope this works!” muttered Symbol as she pressed the left Shift Lever down four times. [MAGICAL TOUCH GO!] The Wizard Driver’s Hand Author turned to the left. [VERY NICE!] Symbol then scanned the Active Ring across it. [ACTIVE! S RANK SPELL!] Red mana then covered her left boot. [THE BEST!] Then Symbol pressed down on the right Shift Lever four times. [MAGICAL TOUCH GO!] The Hand Author turned to the right. [VERY NICE!] Symbol then scanned the rings on her right hand across it. [SLASHER AQUA MAGIC!] The energy from her boot was pulled into the Slasher Tidal Claws. [THE BEST!] Ocean blue water was pulled from the air and wrapped around her body as a maelstrom of mana erupted from Symbol’s body. “Tsunami Claws!” Symbol jumped into the air holding the Slasher Tidal Claws over her helmet and spinning like an ocean water covered drill. She rocketed towards the Death Knight Phantom looking like a tornado of water The Phantom brought up its shield which Symbol smashed into. Sparks flew through the air as Symbol’s attack drilled against the shield. “Come on! Come on! Come on! COMING THROUGH!” shouted Symbol as with a loud cracking noise cracks spread through the shield before it shattered! The Phantom was sent skidding backwards as Symbol’s attack ended.

Symbol landed on the ground but then flinched as red, blue and green lightning crackled across her body, making her fall to her knees. The Death Knight Phantom saw an opening and charged at her with its sword glowing red from the amount of power it’s user had charged into it.

Why did it feel like it was forgetting something? [NEPHILIM SABER STRIKE!] Oh that was why. [GO! KICK STRIKE!] The Death Knight Phantom turned just in time to see three waves of red and blue energy racing at it. “Overdrive!” the last thing it heard before being forced to explode was Dante shouting that.

Once the Phantom was dead, Dante turned to Symbol. “Why didn’t you do that sooner if you had an attack like that?!” he demanded.

“Because, ARGH!” micro explosions ignited across Symbol’s body as she collapsed to the ground.

“Sunset!” shouted Dante as he ran over to her.

Symbol robe, claws, wristlets, shoulder pauldrons and chest armour vanished. Her faceplate greyed out and her suit turned completely grey as well. “That’s why!” gasped out Symbol as she switched the Active Ring for the Burst Ring and pressed the left Shift Lever. [MAGICAL TOUCH HENSHIN!] She scanned the Burst Ring. [BURST PLEASE!] The burst magic circle appeared behind her and moved through Symbol. [CAST THE SPELL!] Transforming her back into the Burst Style. “I had a feeling that using two S rank spells would talk a lot out of me and might have done something like this!” she held up the Active Ring showing that its colours had all greyed out.

“What happened to it?” asked Dante in shock.

“No idea,” replied Symbol. Suddenly her HUD lit up. “Now my HUD’s telling me that it's drained and it will be a while before I can use Active Style again.”

“And that’s your more powerful form thanks to the Slasher and Aqua Rings. Are you ok to continue?” asked Dante.

“I’m not just going to let the loss of two forms for half an hour stop us from finding answers,” Symbol shot back.

Dante helped her to her boots and they walked up to the picture which started glowing. “What are you trying to show us?” Dante asked. He noted that an engraving at the bottom of the frame looked like the tattoo on his back and that the circle part was glowing demonic red.

Curious he reached out and put his hand on the circle, only for it to suddenly get pulled the last few inches a stick! “What the fuck- ARGH!” shouted Dante as demonic red energy started lancing into his Nephilim Ring, up his arm, down through his spine and into his Driver!

“DANTE!” shouted Symbol as she ran forwards to try and help. Suddenly, a beam of red energy shot out of a portrait, right into the centre of the Wizard Driver. Symbol froze up as her body started to transform! A magic circle that was identical to the active and burst magic circles except it was green with the letter in the centre being a G appeared under her boots. [GIGA PLEASE!] It started to rise up through Symbol. [BREAK THROUGH!] Changing her body into its new form.

Her faceplate was now an orange square with silver outlines that had runic text engraved into them. In the centre of her forehead the coin had turned into a bronze square with the two antennae still forming into a V. Her helmet had turned dark green and the circles over her ears had morphed into silver squares. The sides of her suit turned dark green and the outside of its legs became an emerald green. Symbol’s anklets and bracelets turned green and her chest plate became an emerald green square, in the centre of which was bronze square. The inside of Symbol’s robe turned emerald green and the chest now had a pair of green emerald’s on either side of that formed the corners of a square. On her left middle finger was a silver ring with a square-shaped emerald in the centre of it that had an orange framework.

“Woah!” Symbol looked over her transformed body, it felt much heavy but far more powerful than her Active and Burst Styles.

[OPEN!] Symbol looked up just in time to see Dante’s Driver summon a demonic red magic circle in front of him. [A-R-B-I-T-E-R!] It passed through him, turning all of his light angelic blue armour into thick demonic red armour. On his back a demonic red and black battle axe appeared, the grip was pitch black with the blade being large and curved over some of the shaft just like many bearded axes. Also, the Nephilim Ring had turned into the Demon Ring, it was completely red with a pair of demonic horns coming out of the sides of it.

“Hell yeah!” shouted Dante.

“Nice axe, what are you gonna call it?” asked Symbol.

“Does it need a name?” asked Dante.

“Yes!” shouted Symbol with enough fierceness in her voice to make Dante jump back in fright.

“Well, what would you suggest?” he asked.

“How about Arbiter?” asked Symbol after a moment of thought.

“Arbiter,” Dante tasted the name. “Sounds about right,” then he realised something. “Where did you get a name like that?!”

Symbol got a bit sheepish. “I don’t know, it just came to me.”

Dante shrugged. “Well, it sounds cool, so sure let's use that as a name.”

All of a sudden, another Death Knight Phantom pulled itself from the ground.

Dante moved to engage it in combat. He punched his Demon Ring into the back of the axe’s blade, making part of it pop open. [ONE!] Red Energy gathered around the axes blade. [DEMON AXE STRIKE!] Dante only just noticed how close the Death Knight Phantom was and swung Arbiter. An energy version of the axe’s blade was sent spinning at the Phantom. It impacted the shield with enough force to make the Death Knight Phantom stagger backwards, breaking its guard. Had Dante been a bit closer then it would have been a great opportunity to get some damage in.

“Woah! I’m gonna call that one Flush!” shouted Dante in awe at his new attack. He slammed Arbiter down onto the Death Knight Phantom’s shield making it crack. “Not so tough now!” shouted Dante as he punched the Demon Ring into the back of Arbiter’s blade. [THREE!] The blade popped open revealing three red circles. [DEMON AXE STRIKE!] Red energy coursed through Arbiter. “Time to face Judgement!” shouted Dante. He slammed the axe down once, denting the shield, a second downwards swing shattered the shield and a third impacted the Death Knight Phantom making it stagger backwards in pain with sparks coming from its body.

“Not so tough now! Let’s try this!” Dante punched the Demon Ring into the back of Arbiter’s blade again. [FOUR!] It popped open to reveal four demonic red circles. [DEMON AXE STRIKE!] Red energy gathered around Arbiter’s blade as Dante ran forwards and jumped into the air before bringing the bearded axe down. “Trinity Smash!” he looked like a demonic meteor as he slammed Arbiter down. The bearded axe cut a line into the Death Knight Phantom which sparked for a second before the Phantom exploded.

Then the next wave of Phantom’s appeared.

“My turn!” shouted Symbol as she ran past Dante, her Giga Style’s signature weapon appeared in her hands. It was a green axe with a silver blade and a black handle, it had a black Hand Author that was curled into a fist with the thumb sticking out. The Hand Author also worked as the connection joint where the axe blade connected to the axe handle. This was the Giga Axe.

“Here we go!” shouted Symbol as she brought the weapon down, drawing sparks off a Lesser Blade Phantom before bisecting it at the waist with a horizontal swing. Symbol quickly pressed down on the left Shift Lever. [MAGICAL TOUCH SPELL!] The Wizard Driver’s Hand Author turned to the left and Symbol scanned the Giga Ring over it. [GIGA C RANK SPELL!] Green mana covered Symbol’s left hand as she curled it into a fist and decked a Lesser Blade Phantom in the face with enough force that it exploded the second her fist made contact.

The final Lesser Blade Phantom struck her across the back but hardly any sparks were drawn. “I barely felt that!” Symbol struck the left Shift Lever once. [MAGICAL TOUCH SPELL!] Then she scanned the Giga Ring. [GIGA C RANK SPELL!] Green mana collected around her left fist. “Giga Fist!” she pulled it back and punched the Lesser Blade Phantom, it was sent flying into the air and exploded.

Then a pair of Death Knight Phantom’s burst from the ground.

“One for each of us!” shouted Dante as he ran forwards punching the Demon Ring into the back of Arbiter’s blade. [TWO!] It popped open to reveal a pair of demonic red circles. [DEMON AXE STRIKE!] Demonic red energy started to get pulled from the air and into Arbiter’s blade. “Tremor!” shouted Dante as he slammed the bearded axe into the ground. Out of which exploded a wave of demonic red energy that fired the Death Knight Phantom into the air.

Dante quickly swapped the Demon Ring for the Nephilim Ring and punched it into the left slot of his Driver. [SET!] He turned it backwards making the gate close and then forwards making it open. [OPEN!] The Nephilim magic circle appeared in front of him. [N-E-P-H-I-L-I-M!] Then it moved back through him, transforming Dante back into his Nephilim Style. He jumped into the air as he drew his sword and punched the Nephilim Ring into the bottom of its handle. [FOUR!] The mouth popped open, revealing four demonic red and angelic blue circles. [NEPHILIM SABER STRIKE!] Dante started swinging the blade making sparks fly from the Death Knight Phantom with each swing as it was unable to use its shield to block while in the air.

As the Death Knight Phantom started to fall to the ground, Dante switched the Nephilim Ring for the Demon Ring and punched it into his Driver’s left slot. [SET!] Then twisted it backwards causing the gate to close before twisting the ring forwards making the gate open. [OPEN!] The demon magic circle appeared in front of him. [A-R-B-I-T-E-R!] Then it moved back through Dante transforming him back into the Demon Style. He pulled Arbiter off his back and punched the Demon Ring into the back of the blade. [FIVE!] Which popped open to reveal five demonic red circles. [DEMON AXE STRIKE!] Demonic red energy covered the blade as he swung it down. “Drop!” Arbiter’s magic increased the speed at which Dante dropped as it slammed down onto the Death Knight Phantom like a gillouhteen making the Phantom explode.

Symbol slammed the Giga Axe down onto the shield of the Death Knight Phantom that she was fighting. Before blocking an attack with the Giga Axe’s shaft and kicking the Phantom back. She pressed down on the left Shift Lever twice. [MAGICAL TOUCH SPELL!] Then she scanned the Giga Ring across the Wizard Driver’s Hand Author. [GIGA B RANK SPELL!] Her left hand was covered in green mana as she pulled it up and brought it down in a chop. “Seismic Smash!” Her chop cut the Phantom’s shield in half, only for its sword it snap up into her chest plate. “Argh!” shout Symbol as sparks came from the impact.

Not used to this armour yet she lost balance and fell over. Looking up she saw the Death Knight Phantom towering over her with its sword raised up and about to bring it down on her chest plate. Symbol quickly hit the left Shift Lever three times. [MAGICAL TOUCH SPELL!] Then scanned the Giga Ring. [GIGA A RANK SPELL!] Her hand was covered in green mana as she grabbed the Death Knight Phantom’s sword, stopping it with ease. “Giga Embodiment!” shouted Symbol as she squeezed the blade, shattering it and making the Death Knight Phantom stagger backwards.

Symbol got back to her boots and pressed the thumb on the Giga Axe’s Hand Author making it spring open. [COME ON A SMASH SHAKE HANDS!] Then she scanned the Giga Ring across it. [GIGA SMASH STRIKE!] Green magical energy gathered around the Giga Axe’s blade as Symbol brought it roaring down, making the Death Knight Phantom go up in an explosion.

As they got their breath back the two Kamen Rider’s heard a childish giggle. “Who’s there?!” shouted Dante. He ran through a door with Symbol following. Suddenly the hall extended away from them opening a hole right under their feet. “Woah!” shouted Dante as they fell down. He landed first and Symbol landed on top of him.

“I’m sorry!” shouted Symbol as she got off Dante. “Guess we can’t go back that way,” she commented as the hole closed up behind them. Then she tilted her head. “Why did I see a girl in healer armour when I apologised?”

“I don’t know and I don’t care!” replied Dante as he ran through a door and into a square-shaped room with Symbol following. Before going out another door and having to jump down another hole. “Where the hell are we now?!” shouted Dante. They jumped up some rubble that had formed into a makeshift stairway and through another door that lead right back into the entrance hall. “...I don’t believe it! We’re right back where we started!” raged Dante.

Then the Death Knight Phantom’s and their escorts arrived.

“Less talk and more fight!” ordered Symbol.

“Yeah, yeah,” replied Dante as he ran at a Death Knight Phantom, he punched the Demon Ring into the back of Arbiter’s blade. [THREE!] Which popped open to reveal three demonic red circles. [DEMON AXE STRIKE!] Red energy gathered around Arbiter as Dante brought it down in an overhead swing. “Judgment!” The powerful single hit strike made contact with the Phantom’s shield and sent out a red energy shockwave which made it shatter into pieces.

Dante then punched the Demon Ring into the back of Arbiter’s blade again. [TWO!] Which then opened to reveal a pair of demonic red circles. [DEMON AXE STRIKE!] Red energy was pulled from Dante’s body as he slammed the axe into the ground. “Tremor!” a wave of red energy ripped through the ground and shot the Death Knight Phantom up into the air.

Dante swapped the Demon Ring for the Nephilim Ring and punched it into the left slot of his Driver. [SET!] He turned the ring backwards closing the Driver’s gate and then twisted it forwards opening the Driver’s gate. [OPEN!] The Nephilim magic circle appeared in front of him. [N-E-P-H-I-L-I-M!] Then it moved backwards through him. Now in his lighter armour, Dante jumped into the air, reaching the height of the Phantom with ease as he punched the Nephilim Ring into the bottom of the sword’s handle. [FOUR!] The mouth snapped open revealing four red and blue circles. [NEPHILIM SABER STRIKE!] Red and blue energy covered the blade. “Aerial Rave!” shouted Dante as he slashed the Phantom four times making sparks fly with each slash.

The Death Knight Phantom started to fall back towards the ground as Dante punched the Nephilim Ring into the sword’s hilt again. [ONE!] The mouth closed and then snapped open again, this time only a single red and blue circle was revealed. [NEPHILIM SABER STRIKE!] Dante shot down. “Helm Breaker!” he slammed his sword down in an overhead swing, making the Death Knight Phantom explode.

Symbol smashed one Lesser Blade Phantom with the Giga Axe and then grabbed its arm before throwing the Phantom into another one. Suddenly, she was struck in the back by a third Lesser Blade Phantom, she lashed out with a kick sending it flying. Symbol was then struck by the other two Lesser Blade Phantoms that she had just manhandled. Then there was trouble, whenever she swung her fist or the Giga Axe at one of the Phantoms she would be blindsided by the other two throwing off her aim and causing her to miss. “This isn’t good,” suddenly the Active Ring appeared on her left middle finger once more. “It’s about time!” shouted Symbol as she pressed the left Shift Lever. [MAGICAL TOUCH HENSHIN!] Then scanned she scanned the Active Ring. [ACTIVE PLEASE!] She threw her left arm out to the side, making the Active magic circle appear. [LET’S GO!] Which then passed over her transforming her back into the Active Style.

Symbol slashed the Lesser Blade Phantom several times and pulled open the Hand Author on the Active Blade. [COME ON A SLASH SHAKE HANDS!] Then scanned the Active Ring. [ACTIVE! SLASH STRIKE!] Red lightning covered the Active Blade. “Red Slash!” Symbol gave a single, hard, downwards slash that cut a red glowing line into the Lesser Blade Phantom that made it fall over and explode.

The other two Lesser Blade Phantom’s ran at her. Unfortunately for them while the Active Style was nowhere near as powerful or as heavily armoured as the Giga Style, it was much faster and better balanced. She slashed one of the Lesser Blade Phantom’s with the Active Blade in two quick slashes before hitting the left Shift Lever twice. [MAGICAL TOUCH GO!] Then scanned the Active Ring. [ACTIVE! B RANK SPELL!] Red lightning covered her left hand. “Lightning Impact!” she punched one of the Lesser Blade Phantom’s in the face that made it explode.

Symbol then slid the Slasher and Aqua Rings onto her right index and ring fingers before pressing the right Shift Lever. [MAGIC TOUCHIE HENSHIN!] Once the Wizard Driver’s Hand Author had turned to the right Symbol scanned her right hand across it. [SLASHER AQUA PLEASE!] The slasher and aqua magic circles appeared to her right and moved through Symbol transforming her into the Active Slasher Aqua Style. Symbol used the Slasher Tidal Claws to attack the final Lesser Blade Phantom with several slashes that sent it staggering backwards. Symbol pressed down on the right Shift Lever Twice. [MAGIC TOUCHIE GO!] Then Symbol swiped her right hand across the Wizard Driver’s Hand Author. [AQUA MAGIC PLEASE!] Ocean blue water covered the Slasher Tidal Claws before Symbol pulled her arms back and then threw them forwards, crossing them over each other as she did so. This action launched six crescents of ocean blue water that slammed into the Lesser Blade Phantom and caused it to explode.

With the last of the Phantom’s gone the two of them heard the childish laughter once more. “HAHAHAH! Wooo!” they looked up to the right balcony and saw a pair of ghostly children playing with wooden swords.

“This way Dante!” shouted one to the other cheerfully.

“Ok! Can’t catch me!” they ran through a door that was then covered by a barrier of red crisscrossing energy.

“Dante? Did I hear that right?” questioned the male Kamen Rider.

“If you didn’t ten neither of us did,” replied Symbol.

They ran up the staircase and up to the door when they both clutched their helmets in pain as information made its way into their brains.

“So Arbiter and the Giga Axe can break through this red energy,” muttered Symbol once it was finished.

“Let’s try it!” shouted Dante as he brought Arbiter around in an overhead swing and smashed down the door, turning it to splinters.

“Overboard!” shouted Symbol as she raised an arm to block the wood chips which went flying everywhere!

Dante rolled his visors as they ran through the door, following the corridor around to the right and catching up with the ghostly children. “Let’s keep going!” they followed the children around to the left and into a room that looked like it was a bedroom at one point before it had been trashed just like the rest of the mansion.

Dante smashed Arbiter into the shield of a Death Knight Phantom, but before he could press his attack he was hit in the back by a second Death Knight Phantom and a third gave him a shield bash to the faceplate. Dante punched the Demon Ring into the back of Arbiter’s blade. [THREE!] Which then popped open to reveal a trio of red circles. [DEMON AXE STRIKE!] Dante pulled back Arbiter as red energy gathered around the blade. “Judgment!” he ran forwards and slammed the axe down at one of the Death Knight Phantom’s but was hit in the back by a second Death Knight Phantom, causing him to miss completely.

“Dante clam down!” shouted Symbol as she switched the Active Ring for the Giga Ring and pressed the left Shift Lever. [MAGICAL TOUCH HENSHIN!] The Wizard Driver’s Hand Author turned to the left as she scanned the Giga Ring across it. [GIGA PLEASE!] The giga magic circle appeared under Symbol’s boots and rose up through her. [BREAK THROUGH!] Transforming her into the Giga Style. Symbol then slammed the Giga Axe down into the shield of a Death Knight Phantom before pressing the left Shift lever three times. [MAGICAL TOUCH SPELL!] Then she scanned the Giga Ring. [GIGA A RANK SPELL!] Green magical energy covered her body. “Giga Embodiment!” Symbol then used her forearm to block a blow and kicked the Death Knight Phantom backwards.

Then she pulled the Giga Axe’s blade so that it was facing forwards, transforming it into the Giga Spear. She gave it several thrusts, shattering the shield of one of the Death Knight Phantom’s.

“Why should I?!” shouted Dante as he punched the Demon Ring into the back of Arbiter’s blade. [TWO!] It popped open to reveal a pair of demonic red circles. [DEMON AXE STRIKE!] Red energy was pulled from the air and into Arbiter. “Tremor!” Dante pulled it back and slammed it into the ground, firing a wave of demonic red energy that threw one of the Death Knight Phantom’s into the air. Dante was about to jump after it, but sparks flew from his backplate as he was slashed across the back by one of the other Phantom’s.

“Because I know you could have dodged that if you were acting calmly!” shouted Symbol as she pulled open the Giga Spear’s Hand Author. [COME ON A STAB SHAKE HANDS!] Then she scanned the Giga Ring across it. [GIGA! STAB STRIKE!] Green energy was pulled into the Giga spear before Symbol thrust it forwards. “Piercing Giga!” a spear of purple green magical energy was fired forwards and slammed into the Death Knight Phantom, tearing through its shield and caused it to explode.

Dante took a deep breath before opening his visors, only now they displayed their normal fire. “Thanks, Sunset!” he shouted as he punched the Demon Ring into the back of Arbiter’s blade. [THREE!] The blade opened to reveal a pair of demonic red circles. [DEMON AXE STRIKE!] The axe blade closed as demonic red energy gathered around it. “Judgment!” Dante spun Arbiter in a circle, forcing the Death Knight Phantom to back off.

Before they could close in he had punched the Demon Ring into the back of Arbiter's blade again. [FOUR!] The blade popped open to reveal four demonic red circles. [DEMON AXE STRIKE!] The blade closed as red energy started to gather around the axe. “Trinity Smash!” shouted Dante as he ran forwards towards the Death Knight Phantom and the three hit combo shattered its shield.

With the Phantom’s shield broken, Dante swapped the Demon Ring for the Nephilim Ring and pressed it into his Driver’s left slot. [SET!] He turned it backwards making the gate close, before twisting the ring forwards making the gate open [OPEN!] The Nephilim magic circle appeared in front of him and then moved backwards. [N-E-P-H-I-L-I-M!] Returning him to the Nephilim Style. Dante drew his sword and punched the Nephilim Ring into the slot in the base of its handle. [FIVE!] The mouth opened to reveal five red and blue circles. [NEPHILIM SABER STRIKE!] Red and blue energy ran down the length of the blade. “Stinger!” shouted Dante as he stabbed the Death Knight Phantom in the gut making sparks burst from the impact point.

Dante then punched the Nephilim Ring into the slot in the base of his sword’s handle once more. [SIX!] The mouth closed and opened again reveal six red and blue circles. [NEPHILIM SABER STRIKE!] The eyes flashed as red and blue energy covered the sword. “Trillion Stabs!” Dante then started stabbing the Death Knight Phantom at such speed that his arm blurred, a continuous amount of sparks came from the Death Knight Phantom until it exploded.

Dante then turned to the last Death Knight Phantom.

[COME ON A SMASH SHAKE HANDS!] [GIGA SMASH STRIKE!] Just in time for an axe wreathed in green magical energy to shatter its shield.

“Sunset move!” yelled Dante as he swapped the Nephilim Ring for the Demon Ring and punched it into his Driver’s left slot. [SET!] He twisted his wrist backwards, making the gate close, before turning it forwards forcing the gate to spring open. [OPEN!] The demon magic circle appeared in front of him and moved back. [A-R-B-I-T-E-R!] Transforming Dante into his Demon Style. He punched the Demon Ring into the back of Arbiter’s blade. [ONE!] It popped open revealing one red circle. [DEMON AXE STRIKE!] Dante jumped into the air and swung the axe, firing a spinning energy version of Arbiter’s axe head. “Aerial Flush!” he shouted as the construct made contact, making the Death Knight Phantom explode.

Dante ran up the Symbol. “Thanks for the advice. It’s just-”

Symbol cut him off. “Your so close to finding out about your past that you can’t think of anything else?” she giggled at Dante’s look of disbelief. “You're not the only one missing memories.”

Suddenly they both saw the ghostly children duck under the bed.

“That was me!” gasped Dante. “I remember this!” he realised. Dante reached down under the bed and pulled out a wooden kite shield that had what looked like a copy of the tattoo on his back painted onto it.

Suddenly, the two of them were blinded by a bright light. When they could see again they were in a place that looked like the Slip Dimension. But at the same time, it looked nothing like the Slip Dimension.

In the centre of the space was a statue of a man that had four chains around his neck and a pair of females statues on either side of him.

The two Kamen Riders were standing on a platform that floated over a large body of water and unlike the Slip Dimension, the sky was now blue like it would be in the real world during the day.

“Where are we?” muttered Dante in confusion.

“Are we dreaming?” questioned Symbol. Her helmet shifted back into her human head as she reached up and pinched herself. “OW! OK, not a dream!” she grunted as her head transformed into her helmet once more.

“I could have told you that,” stated Dante.

“Then why did you?!” demanded Symbol.

Dante shrugged and ran off.

Symbol growled in anger and followed him.

The two Kamen Riders ran along the platform that looked like the side of a house and jumped a gap onto another platform that also looked like part of a house wall. Before jumping off that platform and onto another the looked like a floor with a pair of pillars off to one side also, a red circle was painted into the floor in the centre of the platform.

Unfortunately, this was where the good luck that the two Kamen Riders had been experiencing so far ran out.

The gap between this platform and that of the next platform was way too far for either of them to jump, no matter which forms they took.

“What now?” asked Dante.

“I have no idea,” replied Symbol.

Suddenly, the handle of Arbiter turned and the axe started to shift. The blade changed angles so that it was straight instead of vertical then it began to spin as it glowed red. Suddenly, it split into three blades that returned to their vertical points so that they were in the points of a triangle. The bearded parts moved from the bottom of the blades to the top of them turning them into claws. Last but not least the handle segmented turning it into a long cable with several circles around it every other inch. This grappling claw is called the Demon Pull. [GRAPPLE MODE!]

Symbol had no time to awe at the new weapon as a new pair of rings appeared on her right index and ring fingers. The first was red with an ice blue gem in the centre that had a snowflake engraved into it with dark blue outlines. The ring on her ring finger was red with the gem being orange and had a chain engraved into it with silver outlines. “Let’s hope this helps out,” muttered Symbol.

She swapped the Giga Ring for the Active Ring and pressed the left Shift Lever. [MAGICAL TOUCH HENSHIN!] As the Wizard Driver’s Hand Author turned to the left Symbol scanned the Active Ring across it. [ACTIVE PLEASE!] She threw her left arm out to the side and the active magic circle appeared before passing over her. [LET’S GO!] Transforming Symbol into her Active Style. She then pressed down on the right Shift Lever turning the Wizard Driver’s Hand Author back to the right. [MAGICAL TOUCH HENSHIN!] Then Symbol scanned the two new rings across the Wizard Driver’s Hand Author. [ICE BIND PLEASE!]

Two new magic circles appeared to her right. The first was coloured ice blue, in the centre was a snowflake logo, inside a circle, inside an eight-eight pointed star, inside a second circle that had two layers between the layers was runic text. The second magic circle was orange, in the centre was a chain logo that was inside a circle, inside an eight-pointed star, inside a second circle that had two layers, between the two layers was a lot of orange coloured runic text.

They both moved through Kamen Rider Symbol transforming her into her new Active Style as a light bell-like chime and a chain rattling came from the Wizard Driver.

Her left shoulder pauldron gained scale-like patterns with silver outlines as did her left forearm guard. Also, the armour on the back of her left glove turned scale like as well as turning orange and her left palm gained scale like armour with a silver circle in the centre of it. Orange scale like armour covered her the fingers of her left hand, they gained silver points on the end of them and a silver line now ran through the finger armour. Symbol’s right shoulder pauldron turned ice blue with an ice blue square on the right side of it that had dark blue outlines. A dark blue armoured band appeared on her right upper arm attached to the band was an ice blue square shaped piece of armour with dark blue outlines. Symbol’s right forearm armour turned ice blue with dark blue outline as did her right wristlet. The circle in the centre of her chest plate turned into an ice blue snowflake and an orange chain.

Symbol was now in her Active Ice Bind Style. Her left arm armour is the Grapple Gauntlet and her right arm armour is the Icy Bracer.

“Wonder what this thing does,” muttered Symbol as she looked at the palm of the Grapple Gauntlet. The Icey Brace had white mist leaking out of it, clearly showing what it was made to do. Suddenly, an orange chain made of energy shot out of the Grapple Gauntlet! “Woah!” Symbol jerked her helmet back, making the spike on the end of the chain just miss it. “This could be useful for getting around,” she nodded to Dante. “Just like your Demon Pull will be.”

Dante stared at Symbol. “How the hell do you come up with these names?!” he demanded in shock.

Symbol shrugged. “It’s a gift,” she replied.

Dante gave up and threw out the Demon Pull, yanking a piece of rubble back from the bottom of the next platform.

The two of them then jumped onto it and from it to the platform. Symbol and Dante then ran up the stairs and to another piece of stairway.

Symbol shot a bind chain out of the Grapple Gauntlet and pulled a piece of rubble from what looked like part of a house wall towards them.

The two of them then jumped onto it and to the next platform that looked like a door which was floating horizontally. They leapt off that and to the next platform that looked like a large bit of floor, it had three circles that were red painted into the brickwork and several pillars on one side as well as a piece of a wall opposite where the two Kamen Riders had landed.

Dante then used the Demon Pull to grab another piece of rubble that was floating in the air and pull it closer to them.

They jumped onto it.

Symbol used a bind chain to yank another on another piece of floating rubble that was above and ahead of them. She expected it to come down to their level, but that didn’t happen. “What in the-?!” their platform went zooming forwards and smashed into a much bigger island that looked like part of a building.

Dante hadn’t seen that coming as the impact sent him flying off and he was only just able to grab back on. “A little warning next time!” Dante pulled himself back up and ran along a stone pathway on the side of the building.

“It’s not like I expected that to happen and that’s really weird,” Symbol defended before trailing off and looking up at a building that was bent across the sky.

Dante stared at her. “We’re fighting Phantom monsters! How is an oddly shaped building any weirder than that?!”

“I never said that and you know it!” shouted Symbol.

Dante rolled his visors and used the Demon Pull to get another platform from the side of a building. “Out you come!”

They jumped onto it and then onto another platform before moving onto a much bigger platform that was much bigger.

A Valkyrie Phantom appeared in the air.

“Get over here!” Dante used the Demon Pull to yank the Phantom from the sky and into sword range. He switched the Demon Ring for the Nephilim Ring and punched it into the left slot of his Driver. [SET!] He twisted it forwards and then backwards, making the gate open and close. [OPEN!] The Nephilim magic circle appeared in front of him and then moved back through him. [N-E-P-H-I-L-I-M!] Transforming Dante into the Nephilim Style. Dante drew his sword and punched the Nephilim Ring into the base of its handle. [THREE!] The mouth opened, revealing a trio of red and blue circles. [NEPHILIM SABER STRIKE!] Blue and red energy ran through the blade. “Hacker!” shouted Dante as he slashed the Valkyrie phantom three times making it explode.

A Lesser Blade Phantom then burst from the ground. Symbol responded by pulling open the Active Rifle’s Hand Author. [COME ON A SHOOTING SHAKE HANDS!] Then she swiped the Ice and Bind Rings across it. [ICE BIND SHOOTING STRIKE!] The Active Rifle fired a glowing orange chain. “Ice Chain!” it stabbed into the Valkyrie Phantom and froze the Phantom solid.

Symbol then pressed the right Shift Lever four times. [MAGICAL TOUCH GO!] The Wizard Driver’s Hand Author turned to the right. [VERY NICE!] Symbol then scanned her right hand across it. [ICE BIND S RANK SPELL!] Icy white magical energy gather around her right boot. [THE BEST!] An orange chain shot out of the Bind Ring and grabbed the Phantom, pulling it into a sidekick from her right leg that caused it to explode. “Freeing Bind Kick!” shouted Symbol.

Dante attacked another Lesser Blade Phantom. He punched the Nephilim Ring into the base of his sword’s hilt. [TWO!] The mouth snapped open to reveal a pair of red and blue circles. [NEPHILIM SABER STRIKE!] Red and blue magical energy surged through the blade. “Oh yeah! Death Coil!” shouted Dante as he slashed the Lesser Blade Phantom with several spinning slashes and a single strong slash.

Dante then punched the Demon Ring into the left slot on his Driver. [SET!] He turned his hand backwards, making the gate shut and then forwards causing it to open. [OPEN!] The demon magic circle appeared in front of him. [A-R-B-I-T-E-R!] Then it moved backwards transforming him into the Demon Style. Dante punched the Demon Ring into the back of Arbiter’s blade making it spring open. [TWO!] Revealing a pair of demonic red circles. [DEMON AXE STRIKE!] Energy gathered around the blade as Dante brought it back. “Tremor!” He slammed it into the ground, making a shockwave of demonic red energy tear through the ground and catapult the Lesser Blade Phantom into the air.

Dante opened fire at the Lesser Blade Phantom with Ebony and Ivory, juggling it in the air. Then he swapped the Demon Ring for the Nephilim Ring and punched it into the left slot of his Driver. [SET!] He twisted his wrist backwards and then forwards, making the gate close before opening. [OPEN!] The Nephilim magic circle appeared in front of him. [N-E-P-H-I-L-I-M!] Then moved back into Dante transforming him. Dante drew his sword and punched the Nephilim Ring into the base of the handle. [ONE!] The mouth opened revealing a single red and blue circle. [NEPHILIM SABER STRIKE!] Demonic red and angelic blue energy covered the blade as Dante slashed upwards. “High Time!” on contact it fired the Lesser Blade Phantom back into the air.

Dante swapped the Nephilim Ring for the Demon Ring and punched it into the left slot of his Driver. [SET!] Then he turned his hand backwards making the gate close, before turning it forwards to open the gate. [OPEN!] The demon magic circle appeared. [A-R-B-I-T-E-R!] Then went back through him, transforming him into the Demon Style. Dante grabbed Arbiter and turned the handle. [GRAPPLE MODE!] Transforming the axe into the claw. He grabbed the Phantom and slammed it into the ground. Before turning the handle again. [AXE MODE!] Transforming the Demon Pull back into Arbiter. Dante then punched the Demon Ring into the back of Arbiter’s blade. [THREE!] The blade opened to reveal three red circles. [DEMON AXE STRIKE!] Red magical energy gathered around Arbiter as Dante swung it around. “Judgment!” the Lesser Blade Phantom got up just in time to see the axe head slam into its face and causing it to explode.

Symbol fired off several shots for the Active Rifle that hit one of the Valkyrie Phantoms. She turned the Active Rifle into the Active Blade and pulled open its Hand Author. [COME ON A SLASH SHAKE HANDS!] Then she scanned her right hand across it. [ICE BIND SLASH STRIKE!] Symbol slashed down and several orange chains shot out of the Active Blade, they speared through the Phantom and froze it before it exploded.

The other Valkyrie Phantom hurled a bomb at Symbol. She swapped the Active Ring for the Burst ring and pressed the left shift Lever. [MAGICAL TOUCH HENSHIN!] Then she scanned the Burst Ring across it. [BURST PLEASE!] The burst magic circle appeared behind her. [CAST THE SPELL!] Then it moved over Symbol, transforming her into the Burst Style. Symbol pressed the left Shift Lever four times. [MAGICAL TOUCH GO!] The Wizard Driver’s Hand Author turned to the right and then the left. [VERY NICE!] Symbol scanned the Burst Ring over it. [BURST! S RANK SPELL!] Making purple magical energy build up around her body. [THE BEST!] Then the purple magical energy around her body flared, hiding Symbol from sight when it cleared she was nowhere to be found. The Valkyrie looked around as it pulled out another bomb. Only for several beams of purple magical energy to hit it, making the bomb explode in its hand. The Valkyrie Phantom twisted around and saw Symbol standing on the ground behind it revealing that she had teleported in an instant.

Symbol struck the left Shift Lever once. [MAGICAL TOUCH GO!] Then she scanned the Burst Ring across the Wizard Driver’s Hand Author. [BURST! C RANK SPELL!] Symbol finished the Valkyrie Phantom off by firing four fireballs that exploded and caused the Phantom to do the same.

“It that it?” asked Symbol when no more Phantom’s appeared, that had been a VERY short fight by their standards.

“I guess so,” replied Dante.

They jumped to the next platform, then onto and up to a platform that looked like a flight of stairs before running up them. At the top of which was a large stone that was connected to a pair of stone arms which were holding one of the chains which lead to the statue’s neck.

“What now?” asked Dante.

“That stone has the same energy which was on the door you smashed down earlier. Arbiter should be able to break it,” muttered Symbol.

“And if it can’t?” asked Dante.

“Then we try something else,” was the blunt reply.

Dante shrugged as he punched the Demon Ring into the back of Arbiter’s blade. [SIX!] Which opened to reveal six demonic red circles. [DEMON AXE STRIKE!] Arbiter was covered in energy as Dante spun it around. “Arbiter Smash!” He slammed it down on the rock, shattering it.

The arms dropped the chain and it fell into the water, causing the statue’s head to turn towards them.

“Well that’s not creepy at all,” there was no small amount of sarcasm in Symbol’s voice.

The statue’s eyes glowed and they found themselves back in the bedroom.

“Was that real or was it a dream?” asked Symbol. She did not realise that she said it aloud and not in her head.

Dante grabbed Arbiter’s handle and turned it. [GRAPPLE MODE!] Transforming the axe into the Demon Pull. “I’ve still got this so I’d say it was real,” replied Dante. “Ok, so what else have you got?” he spoke to the air.
> S1E3 Home Truths Part 2
> --------------------------------------------------------------------------

Symbol mock glared at Dante, having not forgotten the strange look she had gotten for talking to the house earlier, which he was doing now. She slid the Active Ring onto her left middle finger, the placed the Ice and Bind Rings onto her right index and ring fingers. She pressed the left Shift Lever making the Wizard Driver’s Hand Author turn to the left. [MAGICAL TOUCH HENSHIN!] Then Symbol scanned her left hand across it. [ACTIVE PLEASE!] Symbol held out her left hand, the active magic circle appeared to her left and moved through her. [LET’S GO!] Transforming her into the Active Style. Symbol then pressed the Wizard Driver’s right Shift Lever. [MAGIC TOUCHIE HENSHIN!] Making the Wizard Driver’s Hand Author turn to the right before she scanned the Ice and Bind Rings across it. [ICE BIND PLEASE!] She held her right hand out to the side, the ice and bind magic circles appeared and moved over her, transforming Symbol into the Active Ice Bind Style. “You're not the only one that’s getting curious about that,” muttered Symbol.

They ran through the door and dropped down through a hole in the floor, into a room that was full of black Phantom crystals. Paying the crystal’s no mind the two Kamen Rider’s ran through a door on the left side of the room.

Suddenly, the Slip Dimension blew out all of the windows and part of the floor.

“If this had happened before that dream then we would have been stuck,” Dante used the Demon Pull to yank a platform from the wall, which he and Symbol jumped off to clear the gap.

They landed in a corner and Symbol used a bind chain to pull another platform from another part of the wall. It hovered in the air, despite having nothing to hold it up as Dante and Symbol jumped on it.

Dante then used the Demon Pull to yank on a wall, making the platform they were on zoom forwards and impact a corner, this time they had both been able to brace and neither were thrown off.

Symbol used another bind chain to pull another platform from a wall which the two Kamen Rider’s used to jump across the gap.

Dante grabbed the handle of the Demon Pull and gave it a turn. [AXE MODE!] Making it transform back into Arbiter which he used to smash down a door that was covered in a barrier of red crisscrossing energy.

The two of them ran forwards and into an intersection.

A ghostly woman ran across their path. “SPARDA! They’re here! THEY'RE HERE! We’ve got to get out of here! NOW! Hurry, come on, quickly!” she screamed as the ran down the right corridor.

“What the hell happened here?” muttered Dante.

“I’m not sure that I want to know,” whispered Symbol.

They ran through a door and found themselves right back in the entrance hall!

“Oh come on!” shouted Symbol.

Suddenly, the entrance hall started to break apart and turned into several floating islands and floating platforms.

“Here we go again,” muttered Dante.

All of a sudden a Valkyrie Phantom appeared only to was armed with a crossbow instead of a bomb and a shield instead of crossbow bolts. This is the not the Valkyrie Phantom but the Icarus Phantom.

“Mine!” shouted Symbol as she pressed the right Shift Lever twice. [MAGIC TOUCHIE GO!] Then scanned her right hand across the Wizard Driver’s Hand Author. [BIND MAGIC PLEASE!] A chain of orange energy shot from the Grapple Gauntlet, but instead of grabbing the Phantom it grabbed the shield and tore it from the Icarus Phantom’s grasp.

Symbol started at it for several moments, if her helmet was in its human head form then she would be grinning. “I am so going to enjoy using this on the Death Knight Phantoms!” she cheered. Symbol pulled open the Active Blade’s Hand Author. [COME ON A SLASH SHAKE HANDS!] Then she scanned her right hand across it. [ICE BIND SLASH STRIKE!] The blade then segmented into a long whip. “Snake Form!” it wrapped around the Icarus Phantom before Symbol gave it a mighty pull, freezing the Phantom over and causing it to shatter.

Dante turned Arbiter’s handle. [GRAPPLE MODE!] Making the axe transform into the Demon Pull. He used it to tear away the shield of another Icarus Phantom.

Then he switched the Demon Ring for the Nephilim Ring and punched it into the left slot of his Driver. [SET!] He turned his wrist back, making the Driver’s gate close and then turned it forwards making the gate open. [OPEN!] The Nephilim Glyph appeared in front of him. [N-E-P-H-I-L-I-M!] Then moved back through Dante, transforming him into the Nephilim Style. He drew his sword and held down the trigger, making the eyes shine as red and blue energy covered it. [NEPHILIM SABER STRIKE!] Dante slashed down. “Drive!” sending a wave of red and blue energy at the Phantom. The second the wave made contact the Phantom exploded.

Symbol jumped back as she fought a Lesser Blade Phantom, switching the Active Ring for the Burst Ring and pressing the left Shift Lever. [MAGICAL TOUCH HENSHIN!] Then she scanned the Burst Ring. [BURST PLEASE!] The burst magic circle appeared behind her and moved through Symbol. [CAST THE SPELL!] Transforming her into her Burst Style. Symbol then pressed down on the left Shift Lever three times. [MAGICAL TOUCH GO!] Then she scanned the Burst Ring. [BURST! A RANK SPELL!] She held her left hand to the ground. “Earth Wall!” the Lesser Blade Phantom was badly damaged by the giant wall of rock that appeared above it and was dropped on it in an effect to crush it flat. It didn’t work but the rock wall did a lot of damage when it shattered.

“Not quite enough, let's try this!” Symbol pulled open the Burst Wand’s Hand Author. [COME ON A CAST SHAKE HANDS!] Then she scanned the Burst Ring across it. [BURST! CAST STRIKE!] A ball of purple magical energy appeared at the tip of the Burst Wand. “Burst Beam!” before it was fired forwards and slammed into the Lesser Blade Phantom causing it to explode.

Dante fought against another Lesser Blade Phantom. He punched the Nephilim Ring into the back of his sword’s handle. [FIVE!] The mouth snapped open to reveal five red and blue circles. [NEPHILIM SABER STRIKE!] Red and blue energy covered the tip of the sword as Dante ran forwards. “Stinger!” he stabbed the Lesser Blade Phantom, making sparks come from the impact point as it was sent skidding backwards.

Keeping up the pressure Dante punched the Nephilim Ring into the base of his sword’s hilt again. [SIX!] The mouth snapped open to reveal six red and blue circles. [NEPHILIM SABER STRIKE!] Red and blue energy covered the tip of the sword to the point it could not be seen. “Trillion Stabs!” Dante ran forwards at full speed and started stabbing the Lesser Blade Phantom at high speed, his arm was nothing but a blur as a continuous amount of sparks came from the Lesser Blade Phantom.

Dante swapped the Nephilim Ring for the Demon Ring and punched it into the left slot on his Driver. [SET!] He turned his hand back, then forwards making the gate on the Driver close and open. [OPEN!] The demon magic circle emerged from the Driver. [A-R-B-I-T-E-R!] Then it moved back through him, transforming him into the Demon Style. Dante then punched the Demon Ring into the left slot on his Driver a second time. [GO! KICK STRIKE!] Red energy raged around his body before getting focused into his left boot as he jumped into the air. “Falling Axe!” shouted Dante as he came down with a dropkick which made the Lesser Blade Phantom go up in a massive explosion the force of which sent Dante spinning through the air before landing on his boots.

Dante and Symbol looked back at the main building and saw the woman. “No, no, NO! Come on! How did they find us!” she ran through a door and it was then covered in a barrier or red crisscrossing energy.

“I know that voice!” Dante realized.

“I sort of recognize it,” added Symbol.

They jumped to one platform and then jumped to the next one that looked like a flight of stairs. They ran up it and had to hop over a gap to reach the main building.

Dante was just about to smash down the door with Arbiter when Symbol stopped him.

“I want to try something,” she explained.

Dante shrugged and stepped back.

Symbol swapped the Burst Ring for the Giga Ring and pressed the left Shift Lever. [MAGICAL TOUCH HENSHIN!] Then she scanned the Giga Ring. [GIGA PLEASE!] The giga magic circle appeared under her boots and rose up through her. [BREAK THROUGH!] Transforming Symbol into the Giga Style. She raised up the Giga Axe and brought it down, smashing through the barrier like glass and then shattering the door into wood chips.

At Dante’s questioning look, don’t ask how she could tell that when his face looked like a mask, Symbol explained. “I wanted to see if my theory that the Giga Axe could break down the red force fields like Arbiter was correct.”

They followed the hall around to the right and cut left into a room. It was bare of anything except for a portrait on the left side. It was of a red-haired woman with pale skin a green-blue eyes. She wore a black gothic dress and held a blue rose, around her neck was three pendants, each was coloured one of the three basic colours: Yellow, blue and red.

“Is that, Mom?” asked Dante aloud.

They both remembered a red hair woman. “I love you, Dante, Sunset,” she said as she gave both of them a necklace.

The tender moment was destroyed when the Phantom’s burst out of the ground.

“Fucking Phantom’s,” Dante growled out.

For once, Symbol agreed with how he expressed it.

Dante ran towards one of the Lesser Blade Phantoms as he switched the Demon Ring for the Nephilim Ring and punched it into his Driver’s left slot. [SET!] Two twists caused the gate to close and then open. [OPEN!] The Nephilim magic circle appeared from the Driver. [N-E-P-H-I-L-I-M!] It shot out and then back through him, transforming Dante into the Nephilim Style. Dante punched the Nephilim Ring into the slot at the bottom of his sword’s handle. [THREE!] The mouth opened to reveal three red and blue circles. [NEPHILIM SABER STRIKE!] Red and blue energy ran up and down both sides of the blade. “Hacker!” Dante slashed the Lesser Blade Phantom three times.

Then he punched the Nephilim Ring into the sword once more. [ONE!] The mouth opened and revealed a single red and blue circle. [NEPHILIM SABER STRIKE!] Red and blue energy covered the sword. Dante then reached down and punched the Nephilim Ring into his Driver’s left slot. [GO! KICK STRIKE!] The energy was then pulled into his left boot as Dante ran forwards and kicked the Phantom in the chin. “High Time!” his kick unleashed a shockwave of red and blue energy that sent the Phantom shooting into the air where it exploded.

At that moment a Death Knight Phantom burst from the ground.

“That one is mine!” shouted Symbol as she pressed the Left Shift Lever twice [MAGICAL TOUCH SPELL!] Then she scanned the Giga Ring across the Wizard Driver’s Hand Author. [GIGA B RANK SPELL!] Her left glove was covered in green magical energy. “Seismic Smash!” Symbol brought her glove down in an overhead chop that made cracks spread through the Death Knight Phantom’s shield before with a loud cracking sound it shattered into pieces.

Then Symbol pulled open the Giga Axe’s Hand Author. [COME ON A SMASH SHAKE HANDS!] Before scanning the Giga Ring across it. [GIGA SMASH STRIKE!] Green magical energy gathered around the blade as Symbol slammed it down, making the Death Knight Phantom explode.

Dante jumped into the air and started to spin as he punched the Nephilim Ring into the back of Ebony’s hammer. [NEPHILIM] He turned upside down as the gun started to charge with black energy. [IVORY STRIKE!] Before pulling the trigger. “Rainstorm!” a barrage of bullets shot out of the gun and damaged several Lesser Blade Phantom’s very badly, making sparks come off their bodies.

Dante landed back on the ground as he switched the Nephilim Ring for the Demon Ring and punched it into the left slot on his Driver. [SET!] He turned it back and then turned it forwards. [OPEN!] The demon magic circle appeared. [A-R-B-I-T-E-R!] Before moving back through Dante, transforming him into the Demon Style. Dante punched the Demon Ring into the back of Arbiter’s blade. [TWO!] Which then opened. [DEMON AXE STRIKE!] Red energy started to charge around Arbiter. “Tremor!” Dante brought the axe back and slammed it into the ground. Out of which came two waves of red mana that catapulted a Lesser Blade Phantom into the air.

Dante was about to jump after it but realised that he’d never be able to reach that high in the Demon Style. He swapped Rings. [SET!] Then twisted his wrist twice. [OPEN!] [N-E-P-H-I-L-I-M!] Switching into his more balanced form and jumped into the air, reaching the same height as the Lesser Blade Phantom. [TWO!] His blade was charged with red and blue energy. [NEPHILIM SABER STRIKE!] Then he spun around slashing the Lesser Blade Phantom several times before finishing with a single hard upwards slash that sent the Phantom into the air where it exploded.

Seeing several more Lesser Blade Phantoms under him, Dante punched the Nephilim Ring into the base of his sword. [ONE!] He went shooting down. [NEPHILIM SABER STRIKE!] Before hitting one of them with an overhead slash destroying all of the Phantoms.

With the Phantom’s destroyed the two of them approached the portrait. Dante noticed that the bottom of it had an engraved that was identical to his tattoo and it was glowing light blue. He looked at Symbol.

Who shrugged. “You know what’s going to happen.”

Dante slumped as he placed his hand against the part of the engraving that was glowing. Light blue energy travelled into the Nephilim Ring, up his arm and into his Driver.

A beam of blue energy shot into the Wizard Driver. [SWIFT PLEASE!] A new magic circle appeared above Symbol. It was a yellow S, inside a yellow triangle, inside a yellow eight-pointed star inside a second triangle that had two layers, between which was yellow runic text. [DASH AWAY!] It fell down through Symbol as the Wizard Driver played an upbeat jazz tune transforming her into her new style.

Her helmet turned bright yellow and the faceplate became a purple inverted triangle shaped gem with silver outline that had runic text engraved into them. The circles over her ears turned into silver upside-down triangles that had runic text engraved around the edges of them. In the centre of her forehead, there was a bronze inverted triangle with a pair of silver antenna sticking out of the top of it, forming a V. The sides of her suit’s torso turned dark yellow while the outsides of the arms and legs became bright yellow. The rest of her suit stayed the same. Symbol’s wristlets and anklets turned bright yellow while retaining their silver framework. Her chest plate turned into a yellow inverted triangle shaped gem with a bronze upside down triangle in the centre of it. The inside of her robe turned bright yellow, on each side of the robe’s chest was a yellow upside down triangle in silver framework and at the bottom of the robe’s chest, on level with the Wizard Driver was half a yellow inverted triangle with silver framework on either side of the robe. On her middle left finger was a yellow ring with a purple inverted triangle shaped gem in the centre of it that had a silver framework.

[OPEN!] Symbol, now in her Swift Style, looked to the side. [O-S-I-R-I-S!] Just in time to see a light blue magic circle pass through him, turning all of his armour light blue and removing all of the red armour. This was his Angel Style. His sword transformed into a light blue scythe. The blade was long and curved, coming off the tip of the snaith at its heel. The snaith itself looked to be made out of wood, and it had two grips protruding from opposite ends that resemble whittled branches.

“So, Osiris huh?” she asked.

“I’m never going to understand how you are so good at naming weapons!” shouted Dante as he ran at one Lesser Blade Phantom, punching the Angel Ring into the back of Osiris’ blade. [ONE!] Which opened to reveal a single angelic blue circle. [ANGEL SCYTHE STRIKE!] Dante then spun around with Osiris, cutting the Lesser Blade Phantom as the scythe moved at near light speed. “Karma!” shouted Dante as he finished his first attack with his new weapon.

Dante then punched the Angel Ring into the back of Osiris’ blade. [TWO!] Making it open to reveal a pair of angelic blue circles. [ANGEL SCYTHE STRIKE!] Angelic blue energy gathered around the blade of Osiris. “Prop!” he started spinning the scythe like a propeller, cutting the Lesser Blade Phantom down the middle and making it explode.

Symbol pulled out her Swift Style’s weapon. It was a yellow hand cannon with a silver barrel and a Hand Author that was curled into a fist with the thumb sticking out for a hammer. She fired several shots of yellow energy bullets before dodging out of the way of a slash from the Lesser Blade Phantom, suddenly she found herself on the other side of the room! “Woah!” shouted Symbol. She was shocked by how fast she had moved! “This armour’s much lighter and faster than my other three. But it has nowhere near the amount of power that the Active, Giga and Burst style’s do,’ she elbowed another Lesser Blade Phantom in the ribs before pressing down on the left Shift Lever once. [MAGICAL TOUCH GO!] Then she scanned the Swift Ring across the Wizard Driver’s Hand Author. [SWIFT! C RANK SPELL!] Five orbs of yellow light appeared around Symbol, she pulled the Swift Blaster’s trigger and they all shot forwards. This caused one of the Lesser Blade Phantoms to explode.

“Let’s try this!” Symbol pulled the Swift Blaster’s handle so that it was parallel with the barrel, out of which came a spike of yellow magical energy which was sharp at the bottom edged. Then a loop of yellow mana came from the back of the handle and connected to the bottom of the barrel, just behind the spike. This is the Swift Dagger. Symbol ran forwards and slashed at the Phantom rapidly, she stepped to the side dodging a blow and cut the Phantom across the arm. “Time to end this!” she pulled open the Swift Dagger’s Hand Author. [COME ON A HIT SHAKE HANDS!] Then she scanned the Swift Ring across it. [SWIFT! STAB STRIKE!] The Swift Dagger blazed with magical energy as Symbol ran forwards. “Swift Stabs!” She unleashed a barrage of stabs that were fast enough to make her arm blur. The Phantom had sparks going off around its body constantly as it fell to its knees and exploded.

Dante switched the Angel Ring for the Demon Ring and punched it into the left slot on his Driver. [SET!] He turned his wrist back and then forwards. [OPEN!] The demon magic circle appeared and passed through him. [A-R-B-I-T-E-R!] Dante drew Arbiter and punched the Demon Ring into the back of its blade. [TWO!] Red energy started to gather around the axe. [DEMON AXE STRIKE!] Dante pulled it back and slammed it into the ground. “Tremor!” Two waves of demonic energy exploded out of Arbiter and tore through the ground, sending the Lesser Blade Phantom into the air.

[SET!] [OPEN!] [O-S-I-R-I-S!] The angel magic circle appeared and passed over Date, transforming him back into his Angel Style as he jumped into the air. [ONE!] Light blue energy started to gather around Osiris. [ANGEL SCYTHE STRIKE!] He slashed at Lesser Blade Phantom several times making sparks fly from it with each swing. “Hanger!” shouted Dante as he finished his attack.

[SET!] [OPEN!] [A-R-B-I-T-E-R!] Dante transformed back into the Demon Style. He pulled out Arbiter and punched the Demon Ring into the back of its blade. [FIVE!] Red energy gathered around Arbiter’s blade. [DEMON AXE STRIKE!] Dante came shooting back down looking like a demonic red meteor as he slammed the axe down, making the Lesser Blade Phantom explode.

Dante turned Arbiter’s handle. [GRAPPLE MODE!] It transformed into the Demon Pull and was used to pull a Lesser Blade Phantom into axe range, Dante turned the handle once more. [ONE!] Dante swung Arbiter down as red energy gathered around the blade. [DEMON AXE STRIKE!] A spinning red construct of the axe head smashed into the Lesser Blade Phantom from point blank range and made it explode.

Dante jumped backwards, a slash from another Lesser Blade Phantom missing his faceplate by inches. He switched the Demon Ring for the Nephilim Ring and punched it into the left slot on his Driver. [SET!] He turned his wrist back, making the Driver’s gate close before turning it forwards to open the gate. [OPEN!] The nephilim magic circle appeared in front of Dante and moved back through him. [N-E-P-H-I-L-I-M!] He drew his blade and punched the Nephilim Ring into the slot at the bottom of the blade’s handle. [ONE!] Red and blue energy were charged into the blade. [NEPHILIM SABER STRIKE!] Dante slashed upwards, sending the Lesser Blade Phantom shooting into the air.

It fell back down and landed on the floor painfully. He punched his Nephilim Ring into the back of his sword again. [FIVE!] Red and blue energy gathered around the tip of the blade. [NEPHILIM SABER STRIKE!] Dante stabbed the Lesser Blade Phantom. “Stinger!” a thin beam of red and blue energy exploded out of its back making sparks come from the entrance and exit points as it the Phantom was bleeding before it exploded.

Dante swapped the Nephilim Ring for the Angel Ring and punched it into his Driver’s left slot. [SET!] Two turns made the gate open and close. [OPEN!] The angel magic circle was projected out. [O-S-I-R-I-S!] Then it backed into him, transforming Dante into the Angel Style. He punched his Angel Ring into the back of Osiris’ blade. [THREE!] Which opened to reveal three blue circles. [ANGEL SCYTHE STRIKE!] Dante jumped into the air. “Rake!” then used Osiris to pull a Lesser Blade Phantom into the air.

[SET!] [OPEN!] [N-E-P-H-I-L-I-M!] Dante switched back into the Nephilim Style. Then punched the Nephilim Ring into the back of his sword’s handle. [FOUR!] The mouth opened to reveal four red and blue circles. [NEPHILIM SABER STRIKE!] The eyes of the blade flashed. “Aerial Rave!” Dante started slashing at the Phantom until it exploded.

[SET!] [OPEN!] [A-R-B-I-T-E-R!] Dante transformed back into his Demon Style and turned Arbiter’s handle. [GRAPPLE MODE!] The axe transformed into the Demon Pull and Dante used it to yank another Lesser Blade Phantom into the air even as he turned the grapple back into Arbiter. [AXE MODE!] He punched his Demon Ring into the back of Arbiter’s blade. [FIVE!] [DEMON AXE STRIKE!] Dante swung the axe down as he dropped through the air making sparks fly from the Lesser Blade Phantom.

[SET!] [OPEN!] [O-S-I-R-I-S!] Then Dante drew Osiris and punched the Angel Ring into the back of the scythe’s blade. [TWO!] [ANGEL SCYTHE STRIKE!] He started to spin it like a vertical propeller. “Prop!” cutting into the injured Lesser Blade Phantom repeatedly until it shattered and then exploded.

[SET!] [OPEN!] [N-E-P-H-I-L-I-M!] Dante then turned back into the Nephilim Style, before drawing Ebony and Ivory. He punched the Nephilim Ring into both of their hammers. [EBONY AND IVORY STRIKE!] Black energy gathered around the barrel of Ebony while white energy gathered around the barrel of Ivory. “Ricoshot!” Dante pulled the triggers, firing a pair of bullets that spiralled around each other and slammed into a Lesser Blade Phantom making sparks come from it.

[SET!] [OPEN!] [A-R-B-I-T-E-R!] Dante then turned back into the Demon Style and turned Arbiter’s handle. [GRAPPLE MODE!] The axe transformed into the grapple claw and he used it to pull the Lesser Blade Phantom into axe range. [AXE MODE!] The Demon Pull turned back into Arbiter as it powered up. [FOUR!] [DEMON AXE STRIKE!] Dante struck the Lesser Blade Phantom three times. “Trinity Smash!” making it explode.

Dante then switched the Demon Ring for the Nephilim Ring and punched it into the left slot of his Driver. [SET!] He turned it back making the Driver’s gate close then turned it forwards making the Driver’s gate spring open. [OPEN!] The nephilim magic circle appeared. [N-E-P-H-I-L-I-M!] Then moved through him, transforming Dante back into the Nephilim style. He punched the Nephilim Ring into the bottom of his sword. [ONE!] Making the mouth open to reveal a single red and blue circle. [NEPHILIM SABER STRIKE!] The eyes flashed as Dante slashed upwards. “High Time!” sending a Lesser Blade Phantom shooting into the air.

Dante switched the Nephilim Ring for the Demon Ring and punched it into the left slot of his Driver. [SET!] He turned his hand back and then forwards. [OPEN!] The demon magic circle appeared. [A-R-B-I-T-E-R!] Before moving through him, transforming Dante into the Demon Style. He turned Arbiter’s handle. [GRAPPLE MODE!] Then used the Demon Pull to slam the Lesser Blade Phantom into the ground. [AXE MODE!] The Demon Pull transformed back into Arbiter as Dante punched the Demon Ring into the back of his sword’s handle. [THREE!] The blade opened to reveal three red circles. [DEMON AXE STRIKE!] Red energy gathered around Arbiter as Dante slammed it down. “Judgement!” making the Lesser Blade Phantom explode.

Symbol removed the Swift Ring and replaced it with the Active Ring before pressing the left Shift Lever. [MAGICAL TOUCH HENSHIN!] Then she scanned the Active Ring across the Wizard Driver’s Hand Author [ACTIVE PLEASE!] She held her left hand out to the left. [LET’S GO!] The active magic circle appeared and passed through her, transforming her into the Active Style. Symbol ran forwards and slashed at one of the Lesser Blade Phantoms several times with the Active Blade. She ended the combo by slamming the hilt of the Active Blade into the Phantom’s face.

Then Symbol replaced the Active Ring with the Giga Ring and pressed the Left Shift Lever. [MAGICAL TOUCH HENSHIN!] She scanned the Giga Ring. [GIGA PLEASE!] Before holding her left hand down to the ground. [BREAK THROUGH!] The giga magic circle appeared and rose up through her, transforming Symbol into the Giga Style. Symbol then pressed the left Shift Lever three times. [MAGICAL TOUCH SPELL!] Before scanning the Giga Ring. [GIGA A RANK SPELL!] Her body glowed with green mana. “Giga Embodiment!” shouted Symbol as she used her right arm to block a blow from a Lesser Blade Phantom.

The transformation and use of the spell had taken less than five seconds, she was that fast even in her slowest form.

Then Symbol pressed the left Shift Lever twice. [MAGICAL TOUCH SPELL!] Before scanning the Giga Ring. [GIGA B RANK SPELL!] Green magical energy covered her fists. “Seismic Smash!” shouted Symbol as she punched a Lesser Blade Phantom, sending it flying backwards and giving her a bit of breathing room.

Which she used to change the Giga Ring for the Swift Ring and press down on the left Shift Lever. [MAGICAL TOUCH HENSHIN!] Then she scanned the Swift Ring across the Wizard Driver’s Hand Author. [SWIFT PLEASE!] Symbol threw her left hand into the air and swift magic circle appeared. [DASH AWAY!] Even as it fell through her Symbol pressed the left Shift Lever three times. [MAGICAL TOUCH GO!] Before scanning the Swift Ring. [SWIFT! A RANK SPELL!] Symbol pulled out the Swift Dagger and vanished in a yellow blur that struck the Lesser Blade Phantom ten times. Symbol reappeared as she slowed to a stop and flicked the Swift Dagger, lifting the delay on the damage and making the Lesser Blade Phantom explode.

Symbol gazed at the final four Lesser Blade Phantom. “Time to end this!” she swapped the Swift Ring for the Burst Ring and pressed the left Shift Lever. [MAGICAL TOUCH HENSHIN!] Before scanning the Burst Ring across the Wizard Driver’s Hand Author. [BURST PLEASE!] She held her hand out behind her and the burst magic circle appeared. [CAST THE SPELL!] Transforming her into the Burst Style. She grabbed the Burst Wand and pulled on the end of it, making the weapon lengthen and turn thicker as it transformed into a staff called the Burst Staff. Symbol pulled on the Hand Author’s thumb making it open. [COME ON A SPELL SHAKE HANDS] Then she scanned the Burst Ring across it. [BURST! SPELL STRIKE!] Four lances of solid purple mana appeared around her, making it look like Symbol was in the centre of a cross. They shot forwards and speared through the Phantom’s making each of them explode.

“Let’s get going,” Symbol said to Dante.

They ran through a door and down at an angle. The ghostly woman ran past them and through another hall that met their’s.

“You! Get after her! Down there! Cover the doors! Move!” shouted a voice that sounded like a police or SWAT officer.

They followed the woman, bearing left and arrived right back in the entrance hall.

“You have got TO BE KIDDING ME!” screamed Symbol. Right as the entrance hall broke into even more pieces.

The woman ran through a door that was then sealed with a barrier of red crisscrossing energy. “Uh! Get away from me! Get away from me!” she shouted.

Dante and Symbol jumped down three platforms, all of which looked like they were once part of a staircase.

Dante turned Arbiter’s handle. [GRAPPLE MODE!] Transforming it into the Demon Pull which Dante used to yank a piece of the floor from the main building towards them.

Symbol changed the Burst Ring for the Active Ring and pressed the left Shift Lever. [MAGICAL TOUCH HENSHIN!] Then she scanned the Active Ring across the Wizard Driver’s Hand Author. [ACTIVE PLEASE!] She held her left hand out to the side and the active magic circle appeared and passed through her. [LET’S GO!] Even as it was doing that she slide the Ice and Bind Rings into her right hand’s index and ring fingers then pressed the right Shift Lever. [MAGIC TOUCHIE HENSHIN!] The ice and bind glyphs appeared to her right and passed through her. [ICE BIND PLEASE!] Symbol then pressed the right Shift Lever twice. [MAGIC TOUCHIE GO!] Then swiped her right hand across the Wizard Driver. [BIND MAGIC PLEASE!] An orange chain shot out of the Grapple Gauntlet and pulled the platform towards the main door.

Letting the two jump the now shorter gap.

“Leave it to me!” Symbol switch the Active Ring for the Giga Ring and pressed the left Shift Lever. [MAGICAL TOUCH HENSHIN!] Then she scanned the Giga Ring. [GIGA PLEASE!] Symbol held her left hand down to the ground and the giga magic circle appeared. [BREAK THROUGH!] It rose up through her, transforming Symbol into her Giga Style. She grabbed the Giga Axe and smashed down the door that was covered in a red barrier of crisscrossing energy.

After running down a hallway the two Kamen Rider’s came to a door frame that was missing its door and covered in glowing light blue vines.

“What now?” asked Dante.

“Arbiter and the Giga Axe broke down the red energy barriers. So following that trail in logic the Swift Blaster, Swift Dagger and Osiris should be able to cut through these vines with the same amount of ease,” replied Symbol after a moment of thinking.

“Worth a shot,” Dante swapped the Demon Ring for the Angel Ring and punched it into the left slot on his Driver. [SET!] He twisted his wrist back making then Driver’s gate close before turning it forwards making the gate open. [OPEN!] The angel glyph appeared from the Driver. [O-S-I-R-I-S!] It flew backwards, passing through Dante and transforming him into the Angel Style. He drew Osiris and with several slashes he hacked the vines to pieces. “You were right!”

“When have I ever been wrong?!” demanded Symbol when she heard the doubt in his voice.

“You don’t want me to answer that!” replied Dante.

They ran to the left, only to find some rubble blocking their path.

A problem which Symbol solved by breaking it apart with the Giga Axe.

They took a right turn and found themselves in another room that had been trashed.

Symbol noticed something on the floor. “What’s that?” asked Symbol. She ran over and picked it up.

Dante followed her. “A blue rose?” he asked.

“Didn’t the picture have one?” asked Symbol.

Dante thought for a second. “Yeah, it did.”

All of a sudden they were back in the place with the statute, standing on what looked like the side of a building which curved around to the left.

“This again?!” demanded Symbol.

“Come on,” ordered Dante. “Destroying the chain got us out of this place the last time. It should do so again.”

They ran down the side of the building and so a gap. Only it was too long to jump and the other side was out of reach to the Demon Pull or a bind chain.

Suddenly, Osiris started to glow. The handle turned, making the blade move so that it was pointing down and then started spinning. The blade left three copies of itself before they moved so that they were back in their original positions. The blades then glowed blinding blue and merged into what looked like the skull of a snakehead which then snapped twice. [HOOK MODE!] This is the Angel Lift.

[ACTIVE PLEASE!] [LET’S GO!] All of a sudden, Symbol transformed back into the Active Style, without changing rings or touching the Wizard Driver. “What the-?!” suddenly, in a flash purple and grey light a new pair of rings appeared on her right index and ring fingers. The ring on her index finger was coloured red, with the gem being purple and having a golden boot engraved into the centre of it. The ring on Symbol’s ring finger was also coloured red with the gem being grey and having a silver kite shield engraved into the centre of it.

“Let’s give these a go!” Symbol pressed the right Shift Lever. [MAGIC TOUCHIE HENSHIN!] Then she scanned the two rings on her right hand across the Wizard Driver’s Hand Author. [BOOST DEFEND PLEASE!] Symbol threw her right arm out to the side and a pair of new magic circles appeared. The first was a purple boot logo inside a purple circle inside a purple eight-pointed star that was inside a two-layered purple circle within which was purple coloured runic text. The second magical circle was a grey kite shield inside a grey circle within a grey eight pointed-star that was inside a second grey circle which had two layers and between the two layers was grey coloured runic text.

The two circles moved over Symbol, transforming her into the new Active substyle that she needed.

The coin in the centre of her chest plate turned into a grey kite shield logo and a purple boot logo. Her right shoulder pauldron turned grey and now pointed outwards the pauldron also gain a pair of silver vertical rings around it. Her shins gained purple armour, coming out of her heels was a pair of golden spikes that curved upwards. Her boots turned purple and now had dark gold armour on top of them. Finally, a grey kite shield with silver outlines and a silver line running through it appeared in her right hand.

Dante hooked the Angel Lift onto a rock that was just above the next and in front of the next island like he would normally do with the Demon Pull. Unlike said weapon, the Angel Lift pulled him and not the rock. He was lifted up to the rock and dropped down onto the island with ease.

Symbol pressed the right Shift Lever once. [MAGIC TOUCHIE GO!] Then she scanned her right hand cross the Wizard Driver’s Hand Author. [BOOST MAGIC PLEASE!] She jumped, the Boost Grieves slamming down on the ground and propelling her over to the island. Which was far further than any of her other forms could have reached by jumping.

Dante used the Angel Lift to get to the next island.

This time Symbol jumped onto the rock that Dante had hooked the Angel Lift onto. She turned in mid-air and her boots stuck to the rock like glue before she jumped off it and landed on the island next to Dante.

They ran along the island, which was shaped like a cobblestone road and then jumped down from it onto an L shaped piece of rock.

Dante used the Angel Lift to get to the next platform.

Symbol jumped up after him but she wasn’t able to jump high enough!

“SUNSET!” shouted Dante as she started to fall.

“I’m not going to die like this!” Symbol pressed the right Shift Lever four times. [MAGIC TOUCHIE GO!] The Wizard Driver’s Hand Author turned to the right. [VERY NICE!] She scanned her right hand across it. [BOOST DEFEND MAGIC!] Purple energy gathered in the Boost Grieves. [THE BEST!] Symbol jumped. “Air Step!” strangely physics acted as if she had jumped off a solid surface and not off thin air. She was sent shooting through the air towards Dante.

He grabbed her arm and pulled her up. “That was close!”

“Tell me about it!” panted Symbol.

Dante got back to his boots. “Let’s keep moving,” he used the Angel Lift four times in quick succession to get to the next island.

Symbol pressed the right Shift Lever. [MAGIC TOUCHIE GO!] Then scanned her right hand. [BOOST MAGIC PLEASE!] She jumped into the air and onto the first rock that Dante had hooked onto before jumping to the next rock, quickly catching up with Dante and landing on the island with him.

“Nice,” completed Dante as he flipped onto the next island and Symbol landed right next to him. Dante ran up a flight of stairs and used the Angel Lift to swing to the next island, kicking a Lesser Blade Phantom off said island and into the water.

Dante then used the Angel Lift three more times and hooked onto a Lesser Blade Phantom that was on the island.

Symbol had been keeping pace and used a Valkyrie Phantom as a jump pad to reach the island.

Dante switched the Angel Ring for the Nephilim Ring and punched it into his Driver’s left slot. [SET!] He turned his wrist back and then forwards, making the gate of the Driver close before it opened. [OPEN!] The nephilim magic circle appeared and moved back through him. [N-E-P-H-I-L-I-M!] Transforming Dante into the Nephilim Style. He punched the Nephilim Ring into the base of his sword. [ONE!] Making the mouth open to reveal a single red and blue circle. [NEPHILIM SABER STRIKE!] The eyes of the sword flashed. “High Time!” Dante slashed upwards, catapulting one of the Lesser Blade Phantom high into the air.

While the Phantom was in the air, Dante swapped the Nephilim Ring for the Angel Ring and punched it into the left slot on his Driver. [SET!] He turned it back and then forwards. [OPEN!] The angel magic circle appeared from Dante’s Driver. [O-S-I-R-I-S!] Then it moved back into him, transform him into the Angel Style. Dante pulled out Osiris and turned its handle. [HOOK MODE!] Transform it into the Angel Lift which Dante used to get level with the Lesser Blade Phantom.

Dante switched the Angel Ring for its darker counterpart. [SET!] [OPEN!] [A-R-B-I-T-E-R!] He transformed into the Demon Style and drew Arbiter. [FIVE!] [DEMON AXE STRIKE!] Dante swung Arbiter over his head, smashing the Lesser Blade Phantom into the ground.

[SET!] [OPEN!] [N-E-P-H-I-L-I-M!] Dante switched back into the Nephilim Style and pressed the Nephilim Ring into the Hammer of Ivory. [NEPHILIM] White energy started to charge around the barrel of the gun. [IVORY STRIKE!] As Dante dropped from the air he started spinning around. “Rainstorm!” Dante flipped upside down and fired a barrage of white bullets from Ivory that made a Lesser Blade Phantom explode.

Symbol switched the Active Ring for the Swift Ring and pressed the Left Shift Lever. [MAGICAL TOUCH HENSHIN!] Then she scanned the Swift Ring. [SWIFT PLEASE!] Symbol threw her left hand into the air and the swift magic circle appeared. [DASH AWAY!] Even as it fell through her, transforming Symbol into the Swift Style she pressed the left Shift Lever twice. [MAGICAL TOUCH GO!] Scanning the Swift Ring. [SWIFT! B RANK SPELL!] Then she pressed the left Shift Lever four more times. [MAGICAL TOUCH GO!] The Wizard Drive’s Hand Author flipped to the right and then to the left. [VERY NICE!] Symbol scanned the Swift Ring across it. [SWIFT! S RANK SPELL!] Making time start to slow down as her perception speed up. [THE BEST!] Symbol clapped her hands and pulled them apart revealing a ball of yellow magical energy. “Time Attacker!” shouted Symbol as she thrust her hands forwards and the ball collapsed into a huge beam of yellow magic that tore through two of the Valkyrie Phantoms. The beam completely disintegrated them so that there was not enough left to explode.

[SET!] [OPEN!] [O-S-I-R-I-S!] Dante transformed back into the Angel Style and drew Osiris. [THREE!] [ANGEL SCYTHE STRIKE!] He jumped into the air. “Rake!” using the scythe to pull a Lesser Blade Phantom into the air. [ONE!] [ANGEL SCYTHE STRIKE!] Then Dante slashed at the Phantom several times until it exploded.

Dante turned the handle of Osiris. [HOOK MODE!] Transforming the scythe into the Angel Lift and using it to pull himself down towards a Lesser Blade Phantom. [SET!] [OPEN!] [A-R-B-I-T-E-R!] Halfway down he cancelled the lift by transforming into his Demon Style and punched the Demon Ring into the back of Arbiter’s blade. [TWO!] [DEMON AXE STRIKE!] Dante hit the ground and slammed Arbiter down, sending out two waves of red energy that flung the Lesser Blade Phantom into the air.

Symbol switched the Swift Ring for the Active Ring and pressed the left Shift Lever. [MAGICAL TOUCH HENSHIN!] [ACTIVE PLEASE!] [LET’S GO!] She transformed into the Active Style before sliding the Boost and Defend Rings onto her right index and middle fingers. [MAGIC TOUCHIE HENSHIN!] [BOOST DEFEND PLEASE!] Symbol transformed into her Active Boost Defend Style and jumped up, kicking a Lesser Blade Phantom in the face as she came back down. She pressed the right Shift Lever three times and scanned her right hand across the Wizard Driver’s Hand Author. [MAGIC TOUCHIE GO!] [BOOST DEFEND MAGIC PLEASE!] Her legs then blurred as she rapidly kicked the Lesser Blade Phantom until it exploded.

Dante transformed from the Nephilim Style into the Angel Style. [SET!] [OPEN!] [O-S-I-R-I-S!] Then he punched the Angel Ring into the back of Osiris’ blade. [FOUR!] Which then opened to reveal four light blue circles. [ANGEL SCYTHE STRIKE!] Energy was charged into the scythe as Dante jumped into the air while spinning. “Raze!” hooking the scythe around a Lesser Blade Phantom as he did so, pulling it upwards and into the air with him.

[SET!] [OPEN!] [A-R-B-I-T-E-R!] He shifted into the Demon Style. [FIVE!] [DEMON AXE STRIKE!] Then he came down with an overhead swing. “Drop!” Arbiter was covered in red energy as he slammed it down, making the Lesser Blade Phantom go up in an explosion.

Then Dante punched the Demon Ring into the back of Arbiter’s blade. [TWO!] Red energy gathered around the axe’s blade. [DEMON AXE STRIKE!] Dante slammed Arbiter into the ground. “Tremor!” two streams of red energy tore through the ground and converged on a Lesser Blade Phantom, shooting it skywards.

Symbol swapped the Boost and Defend Rings for the Slasher and Aqua Rings before pressing the right Shift Lever. [MAGIC TOUCHIE HENSHIN!] She scanned her right hand over the Wizard Driver’s Hand Author. [SLASHER AQUA PLEASE!] As the two magic circles moved over her Symbol pressed the right Shift Lever three times. [MAGIC TOUCHIE GO!] Then scanned the rings again. [SLASHER AQUA MAGIC PLEASE!] Red lightning covered the Slasher Tidal Claws as Symbol placed them together and shot the lightning downwards, slamming the Lesser Blade Phantom back into the ground, making sparks come from its body.

Symbol swapped the Slasher and Aqua Rings for the Ice and Bind Rings as she pressed the right Shift Lever. [MAGIC TOUCHIE HENSHIN!] Then scanned her right hand. [ICE BIND PLEASE!] The ice and bind magic circles appeared to her right and moved through her, transforming Symbol into the Active Ice Bind Style. She pressed the right Shift Lever twice. [MAGIC TOUCHIE GO!] Then scanner her right hand. [BIND MAGIC PLEASE!] This summoned an orange chain that she used to spear the Lesser Blade Phantom and pull it back into the air.

[SET!] [OPEN!] [O-S-I-R-I-S!] Dante transformed into the Angel Style. [HOOK MODE!] Then transformed the scythe into the Angel Lift and used it to reach the Lesser Blade Phantom.

He switched the Angel Ring for the Nephilim Ring and punched it into the left slot on his Driver. [SET!] Dante turned his wrist backwards and then forwards. [OPEN!] This made the nephilim magic circle appear in front of him and then move back through him. [N-E-P-H-I-L-I-M!] Dante drew his sword and punched the Nephilim Ring into the base of it. [ONE!] The mouth opened revealing a single red and blue circle. [NEPHILIM SABER STRIKE!] Red and blue energy was charged into the sword.

Symbol pulled open the Active Blade’s Hand Author. [COME ON A SLASH SHAKE HANDS!] Then she scanned the Active Ring across it. [ACTIVE! SLASH STRIKE!] Red lightning burst into being around the sword.

“Cross Breaker!” shouted both of the Kamen Rider’s as they slashed an X through the centre of the Lesser Blade Phantom making it explode.

“Let’s keep moving!” ordered Symbol as she replaced the Ice and Bind Rings with the Boost and Defend Rings before pressing down on the right Shift Lever. [MAGIC TOUCHIE HENSHIN!] Then she scanned her right hand across the Wizard Driver’s Hand Author. [BOOST DEFEND PLEASE!] The two magic circles appeared to her right and moved through her. She pressed the right Shift Lever once. [MAGIC TOUCHIE GO!] Then scanned her right hand. [BOOST MAGIC PLEASE!] Symbol ran towards the edge of the island and jumped towards the next one.

But halfway across the gap, she realised that she had misjudged the distance and wouldn't make it! “Oh no, you don’t!” [MAGIC TOUCHIE HENSHIN!] The ice and bind magic circles appeared in front of her. [ICE BIND PLEASE!] As she passed through them Symbol hit the right Shift Lever twice. [MAGIC TOUCHIE GO!] Orange energy gathered around the Grapple Gauntlet. [BIND MAGIC PLEASE!] It formed into a chain that Symbol shot into a rock. Symbol yanked on the chain, pulling the rock under her, which she then jumped from and onto the island.

Dante swapped the Nephilim Ring for the Angel Ring and punched it into the left slot on his Driver. [SET!] He turned his wrist back making the Driver’s gate close and then turned his wrist forwards making the Driver’s gate open. [OPEN!] The angel glyph appeared and then moved backwards. [O-S-I-R-I-S!] Transforming Dante into the Angel Style. He pulled out Osiris and turned the handle. [HOOK MODE!] Transforming it into the Angel Lift which he hooked onto a rock and used to get to the rock that Symbol had pulled before jumping to the island landing next to Symbol. “Nice move,” he commented as he landed beside the female Kamen Rider.

“Thanks,” Symbol ran up a short flight of stairs with Dante following, they quickly reached the rock that held the chain. Symbol switched the Active Ring for the Giga Ring and pressed the left Shift Lever. [MAGICAL TOUCH HENSHIN!] She scanned the Giga Ring across the Wizard Driver’s Hand Author. [GIGA PLEASE!] Before holding her left hand to the ground. [BREAK THROUGH!] The giga magical circle appeared and rose up through Symbol. She grabbed the Giga Axe and brought it down, smashing the rock to pieces.

The rock practically exploded from the force of the attack causing the arms to drop the chain into the water and the statue's eyes to start glowing as it turned its head towards them.

“What are we unleashing?” muttered Dante.

They were blinded by the light from the statue's eyes and when they could both see again they were back in the Slip Dimension.

“That gets more and more unnerving every time,” stated Symbol.

“We’ve only had that done to us twice,” Dante pointed out.

“My point exactly,” replied Symbol dully.

Suddenly, Dante turned the handle of the Angel Lift. [SCYTHE MODE!] Transforming it back into Osiris. He punched the Angel Ring into the back of its blade. [TWO!] Making the blade flash with light blue energy. [ANGEL SCYTHE STRIKE!] Dante then started spinning the scythe. “Prop!” he used it as an impromptu shield to throw a bomb back at the Shielded Valkyrie Phantom which had just thrown it.

“Thanks!” shouted Symbol as she turned the Giga Axe into the Giga Spear and pulled open its Hand Author. [COME ON A STAB SHAKE HANDS!] Then scanned the Giga Ring across it. [GIGA! STAB STRIKE!] Green mana gathered around the tip of the Giga Spear. “Piercing Giga!” Symbol stabbed it forwards, firing a beam of green magical energy which smashed through the Shielded Valkyrie Phantom’s shield and into the Phantom itself making it explode.

Dante removed the Angel Ring and donned the Demon Ring before punching it into his Driver’s left slot. [SET!] He turned his wrist back and then forwards. [OPEN!] The demon magic circle appeared. [A-R-B-I-T-E-R!] Transforming him into the Demon Style. He punched the Demon Ring into the back of Arbiter’s blade. [FOUR!] Three waves of red energy gathered around the axe’s blade. [DEMON AXE STRIKE!] Dante slammed the axe down into the chest of a Lesser Blade Phantom. “Trinity Smash!” it unleashed three pulses of red energy that caused the Lesser Blade Phantom to explode.

Dante then had to roll away from two bombs, he pulled out Ebony and Ivory, opening fire on one of the Shielded Valkyrie Phantom’s only for the bullets to bounce off. “That does it!” Dante grabbed Arbiter and turned the handle. [GRAPPLE MODE!] The axe transformed into the Demon Pull and he used it to rip the shield from the Shielded Valkyrie’s grip.

Dante swapped the Demon Ring for the Angel Ring and punched it into his Driver. [SET!] He made two turns. [OPEN!] The angel magic circle appeared blocking another bomb. [O-S-I-R-I-S!] Then the circle transformed Dante into his Angel Style. Dante turned Osiris’ handle. [HOOK MODE!] Transforming it into the Angel Lift, which he used to get up to the Valkyrie Phantom. He turned the handle once more. [SCYTHE MODE!] The Angel Lift transformed back into Osiris. Dante slammed the Angel Ring into the back of the scythe. [ONE!] Causing light blue energy to gather around it. [ANGEL SCYTHE STRIKE!] Dante swung. “Hanger!” he used the scythe to rip the Valkyrie Phantom to pieces until it exploded.

Symbol charged at a Lesser Blade Phantom which was able to hit her in the shoulder pauldron thanks to Giga Style’s slower speed. But thanks to Giga Style’s thicker armour she barely even felt the blow as she gave it a right hook to the jaw and hit the left Shift Lever once. [MAGICAL TOUCH SPELL!] Green energy covered her left fist. [GIGA C RANK SPELL!] Symbol punched. “Giga Fist!” hitting the Phantom in the jaw with enough force that it went shooting backwards and exploded.

The magical Kamen Rider swapped the Giga Ring for the Active Ring and pressed the left Shift Lever. [MAGICAL TOUCH HENSHIN!] She scanned her left hand across the Wizard Driver’s Hand Author. [ACTIVE PLEASE!] Then held her left hand out to the side. [LET’S GO!] The active magical circle appeared to her left and moved through her transforming Symbol into the Active Style. Not wasting a second she slid the Ice and Bind Rings onto her index and ring fingers before pressing down on the right Shift Lever. [MAGIC TOUCHIE HENSHIN!] She scanned her right hand across the Wizard Driver’s Hand Author. [ICE BIND PLEASE!] Then she held her hand out to the side, the bind and ice magic circles appeared before passing through her, transforming Symbol into the Active Ice Bind Style. Symbol then pressed the right Shift Lever once. [MAGIC TOUCHIE GO!] Then scanned her right hand. [ICE MAGIC PLEASE!] Before pressing down on the right Shift Lever four times. [MAGIC TOUCHIE GO!] The Wizard Driver’s Hand Author reset. [VERY NICE!] Symbol scanned her right hand across it. [ICE BIND MAGIC!] The bind ring started to glow as ice blue mana covered her right boot. [THE BEST!] Orange energy chains shot out of the Bind Ring and pulled the Lesser Blade Phantom towards Symbol. “Freezing Bind Kick!” she lashed out with a side kick that caused the Lesser Blade Phantom to get covered in ice which spread from the point her boot made contact. After a few seconds, the Lesser Blade Phantom exploded.

Dante swapped the Angel Ring for its Demon counterpart and punched it into his Driver’s left slot. [SET!] Then turned it back and forwards. [OPEN!] He fell through the demon magic circle. [A-R-B-I-T-E-R!] Then punched the Demon Ring into the back of Arbiter’s blade. [FIVE!] Red energy covered the blade. [DEMON AXE STRIKE!] Dante raised Arbiter over his head as he neared the ground. “Drop!” Then slammed it into the head of another Lesser Blade Phantom.

He jumped back from the retaliatory swing and punched the Nephilim Ring into his Driver’s left slot. [SET!] He turned it twice. [OPEN!] The ran through the nephilim magic circle. [N-E-P-H-I-L-I-M!] Dante pulled out his blade and punched the Nephilim Ring into the bottom of its handle. [FIVE!] The mouth opened to reveal fire red and blue circles. [NEPHILIM SABER STRIKE!] Red and blue energy covered the tip as Dante stabbed the Lesser Blade Phantom.

Dante moved to finish it off by punching the Nephilim Ring into the bottom of the sword’s handle again. [SIX!] Red and blue energy cloaked the tip of the blade. [NEPHILIM SABER STRIKE!] Dante started stabbing forwards with such speed that it looked like he had several arms before the Lesser Blade Phantom exploded.

With all of the Phantom’s beaten the barrier that was keeping them in the room dropped and Dante ran through a door. Only to come back when he realised that Symbol was not following. “Sunset?” no answer, she was just staring at something on the floor. “What’s wrong?” asked Dante in concern. Still no answer.

Dante reached down and picked up the picture that Symbol was staring at. It was of himself as a child still on Eva’s lap, a boy who was clearly Vergil sitting on a man’s lap next to the woman. Sunset was in the photo, but she looked about seventeen, one year younger than she looked now and stood between the man and the woman. Symbol was standing behind her, but looked see through and was in a form that Dante had never seen before.

‘I remember,’ thought Dante. ‘I remember my Mother, her name was Eva,’ Dante’s mind pulled up the memories of his amulet. ‘She gave this to me,’ the memories showed Dante and Vergil as ten-year old’s mock sparring with a seventeen-year-old Sunset who was in her human form and wearing a few bandages. ‘I had a brother and a sister too,’ both boys were being helped up by Sunset after being soundly beaten. ‘We were a family,’ the revealed siblings are shown with their parents on a cliff. ‘We had no idea of the danger we were in,’ the clouds formed into a demonic face. ‘The Phantom’s found us,’ a bald man was seen in a doorway. ‘When they broke in I saw him,’ the man was seen tearing Eva’s heart out while a Phantom held Dante back. ‘She gave her life so we could escape. I will never forget what he did to her,’ young Dante was seen holding his Mother’s corpse while Angel like creatures dressed completely in white armour gathered around him. ‘Our Father, Sparda took my brother and me away,’ Dante was seen holding the now named Sparda’s hand outside an orphanage. Neither Vergil or Sunset where anywhere to be seen. ‘He separated us, hide us safely among the humans, wiped out memories to protect us. That’s why it all went black until now.’

‘I remember now,' thought Symbol. ‘I came shooting out of an energy vortex with no memories,’ a blue swirling vortex was seen as Symbol came flying out of it, smashing into the ground and being forced back into her human form. ‘I looked like I had just been in a war,’ Sunset was seen lying in a crater, both of her arms and legs were broken and her body bruised, her body was almost made of cuts by this point. A puddle of her own blood was filling up the crater. ‘I would have died if Sparda hadn’t found me,’ Sparda was seen picking up the then sixteen-year-old. ‘Eva nursed me back to health,’ Sunset was seen lying on a bed wrapped in bandages with Eva sitting nearby. ‘When they found out I had no family the two adopted me,’ a crying Sunset was seen hugging the two. ‘Dante and Vergil, Sparda and Eva’s twin sons, were just as happy to have a sister,’ the three were seen play fighting. ‘Then the Phantom’s came. Sparda took us to safety but I couldn't let Eva die, not after everything she and Sparda had done for me. She had saved my life, now it was my turn to save her’s,’ Sunset was seen running back towards the house. ‘I was too late,’ a horrified Sunset watched as the man tore Eva’s heart out. ‘I attacked their leader!’ Sunset transformed into Kamen Rider Symbol and attacked. ‘But was effortlessly beaten back,’ she was backhanded away. ‘So I attacked with everything that I had!’ Symbol transformed into a much more powerful form and a dragon made of energy appeared behind her as she went for a Rider Kick with the dragon following her. ‘The attack clashed with one of the Phantom King’s and ripped open a space-time vortex, just like the one I came out of two years before, back when I was sixteen and sucked me in,’ Symbol was seen being pulled into the vortex as her Swift, Giga and Burst Rings along with three other rings shattered. ‘It transported me over ten years into the future and surviving drained all of the power I had gotten from my training with Eva and Sparda,’ Sunset was seen lying on the floor in the Slip Dimension. ‘That’s why all my style rings were missing and it all went black, until now.’

They were both snapped back to reality when Dante dropped the picture.

Symbol was able to catch the thing before it could hit the floor and shatter. “Watch it!” she scolded.

Dante walked away robotically.

Symbol looked concerned as she followed him.

They ran out of the room and turned to the right, sliding down a hall that had been effectively transformed into a slide.

Dante swapped the Nephilim Ring for the Angel Ring and punched it into the left slot on his Driver. [SET!] He turned his wrist backwards making the Driver’s gate close. Then he turned the Angel Ring forwards, making the Driver’s gate spring open. [OPEN!] The angel magic circle shot out of the gate then back into Dante transforming him into the Angel Style. [O-S-I-R-I-S!] Dante then drew Osiris from his back and turned the handle. [HOOK MODE!] Making the scythe transform into the Angel Lift. Dante used the grapple to hook onto a chandler and swing around a corner.

Symbol switched the Ice and Bind Rings for the Boost and Defend Rings then pressed the right Shift Lever. [MAGIC TOUCHIE HENSHIN!] The boost and defend magic circles appeared to her right and moved through her. [BOOST DEFEND PLEASE!] She took up a running start as she pressed the right Shift Lever once. [MAGIC TOUCHIE GO!] Then she scanned the rings on her right hand across the Wizard Driver’s Hand Author. [BOOST MAGIC PLEASE!] Purple energy ran into the Boost Grieves as Symbol jumped to the first chandler then jumped off a wall.

The two of them turned a corner and down another slide, they both had to jump onto a floating island as the slide suddenly ended.

That instantly started moving!

“Woah!” Symbol flapped her arms right before she fell over the edge after overbalancing badly.

“Watch out!” Dante switched the Angel Ring for the Demon Ring and punched it into the left slot of his Driver. [SET!] He turned his hand back then turned it forwards. [OPEN!] the demon magic circle appeared and then moved back through him. [A-R-B-I-T-E-R!] Transforming into the Demon Style he drew Arbiter from his back and turned the handle. [GRAPPLE MODE!] Transforming it into the Demon Pull which he fired down. It grabbed Symbol’s leg by the anklet and pulled her back up. “You ok?” asked Dante in concern for his revealed sibling.

“I’m also glad that you haven’t gone hyper-focused and basically turned into a magic zombie from seeing those memories, but yeah, I’m fine,” replied Symbol as she pulled herself up the rest of the way which was easy once she had gotten a glove back on the island.

“Good to know you care!” replied Dante as he swapped the Demon Ring for the Angel Ring and punched it into his Driver’s Left Slot. [SET!] He turned his wrist backwards, making the Driver’s gate close before twisting it forwards making the Driver’s gate spring open again. [OPEN!] The angel magic circle shot out of the Driver and then moved back through him. [O-S-I-R-I-S!] Dante transformed into the Angel Style and drew Osiris from his back then he turned the handle. [HOOK MODE!] Osiris transformed into the Angel Lift and Dante used it to swing over to another island.

Symbol pressed the right Shift Lever once. [MAGIC TOUCHIE GO!] Before scanning her right hand over the Wizard Driver’s Hand Author. [BOOST MAGIC PLEASE!] Purple light ran through the Boost Grieves as Symbol crotched down and jumped to the island, landing next to Dante.

Symbol then switched the Boost and Defend Rings for the Ice and Bind Rings before pressing the right Shift Lever. [MAGIC TOUCHIE HENSHIN!] Then she scanned her right hand across the Wizard Driver’s Hand Author. [ICE BIND PLEASE!] The ice and bind magic circles appeared to Symbol’s right and passed through her, transforming her into the Active Ice Bind Style. She pressed the right Shift Lever twice. [MAGIC TOUCHIE GO!] Then scanned her right hand across the Wizard Driver’s Hand Author again. [BIND MAGIC PLEASE!] She threw her arm back and then forwards, firing a chain of orange mana that pulled the next island close enough for the two of them to jump too with a simple normal leap.

Then the Slip Dimension decided to be a jerk and moved a giant rock into the path of the two Kamen Riders.

[MAGIC TOUCHIE GO!] [BIND MAGIC PLEASE!] Symbol fired off another chain and pulled on it, making the rock turn around.

Dante used the Angel Lift to get to the top of the rock.

[MAGIC TOUCHIE HENSHIN!] [BOOST DEFEND PLEASE!] Symbol transformed back into her Active Boost Defend Style. [MAGIC TOUCHIE GO!] Purple energy ran through the Boost Grieves. [BOOST MAGIC PLEASE!] Then Symbol jumped to the top of the rock.

Dante switched the Angel Ring for the Demon Ring and punched it into the left side of his Driver. [SET!] He turned his hand twice. [OPEN!] The demon magic circle appeared. [A-R-B-I-T-E-R!] Then it passed through him. He grabbed Arbiter and turned its handle. [GRAPPLE MODE!] Transforming it into the Demon Pull. “We’re getting out of here!” he pulled the rock they were on back to the main building.

The two of them jumped off.

Now that they were back in the main building and nearing the rift, the Slip Dimension started to become desperate in trying to stop them. The windows were blown out and the ground started to break apart.

Dante and Symbol broke into a desperate sprint as they could see Kate and Vergil in the real world at the end of the hall.

Symbol glanced over her shoulder and saw that they weren’t going to make it especially with Dante in his Demon Style. She replaced the Active Ring with the Swift Ring and pressed the left Shift Lever. [MAGICAL TOUCH HENSHIN!] Then she scanned the Swift Ring. [SWIFT PLEASE!] Symbol held her left hand up to the sky. [DASH AWAY!] The Swift magic circle appeared above her and fell through her, transforming her into the Swift Style. She pressed the left Shift Lever down twice. [MAGICAL TOUCH GO!] Then she scanned the Swift Ring. [SWIFT! B RANK SPELL!] Her body glowed with yellow mana as her speed shot up. Symbol grabbed her now know brother and they rocketed to the rift, vanishing from the Slip Dimension and appearing in the real world.

Dante closed the gate of his Driver, making the demon magic circle appear and return him to his human form.

Symbol pressed down on both of the Shift Levers making the swift magic circle appear over her helmet and fall through her, transforming her back into her human form of Sunset Shimmer.

Both of them were staring at Vergil in a different light.

“Your our brother?” asked Dante.

Vergil pressed down on both of his Driver’s Shift Levers and a magic circle appear in front of him before passing through him, transforming him back into his human form. He had blue-grey eyes and the same facial structure as Dante. While Dante’s hair was black Vergil’s was white. He wore a black coat with a long tail on the right side and a collar with a larger left side. There was a brassard on the left bicep of the coat, which also had blue ornate scrollwork sewn onto the left side of the upper back and blue lining. His hands were covered by light blue gloves and he wore blue dress slacks with black leather shoes.

He was beaming. “Your twin brother,” he explained.

“And Sunset’s our sister?” asked Dante.

“Yes, former older sister in all but blood, currently little sister in all but blood,” replied Vergil.

“Hey!” shouted Sunset.

Vergil ignored her as he continued. “I’ve been looking for you for a long time Dante. The only reason that I was not looking for Sunset as well was that I thought she was dead,” stepping forwards Vergil reached into his coat and pulled out a pendant identical to Dante’s, only it was blue instead of red.

Dante fingered his own pendant.

Sunset reached into her top and pulled out a third identical pendant, only it was yellow.

“Our mother gave these to us,” explained Vergil. “I think she knew this moment would come. That the three of us would find each other.”

“And our father, Sparda?” asked Dante hopefully.

Vergil looked sad, he didn’t want to but he had to crush that hope. “Banished forever, a fate worse than death they say. He’s never coming back.”

Sunset dealt with her frustration by knocking down a wall. “I wanna know more. Where we come from, what happened to us, what we are and above all; I want to know who is responsible for this and how painful we are going to make their death!” she nearly snarled.

“Ditto,” agreed Dante.

Vergil nodded. “Of course.”

Dante and Sunset walked off with Vergil following, but not before he gave Kate a looked that said: “I told you so!”
> S1E4 Bloodline
> --------------------------------------------------------------------------

“Do either of you remember this place?” asked Vergil as he lead his two siblings into an old park.

“Yeah I remember coming here,” replied Dante.

“Wasn’t it mom that used to bring us here?” asked Sunset.

“Correct,” replied Vergil.

“Tell us everything,” ordered Dante as the three siblings walked towards a set of swings.

“Are you aware of the multiverse theory?” asked Vergil.

“I’ve heard of it before,” replied Dante.

“Never heard of it,” was Sunset’s confused answer.

“The theory is that there is an infinite number of earths, all in the same place in space, but they all vibrate at different speeds so they cannot see or interact with each other. What if I told you it was true?” asked Vergil.

“Makes sense,” Replied Dante.

Sunset nodded.

Vergil raised an eyebrow in surprise.

Both of them pointed to their Drivers.

Vergil nodded. “The story starts in one dimension, virtually identical to our own. A corporation was creating an armoured suit as part of a new line of armoured fighters. For some reason, they started with the female model. Only over the course of the day, that first volunteer noticed that the suit was getting tighter as it fused to her skin. Instead of helping her the scientists restrained her. Her mind then started to get reprogrammed by the suit and just before she turned into a living robot she swore revenge.”

“Let me guess,” started Sunset dully. “The general in charge of the project then went power hungry and started to convert every female on the base before using them to start converting the surrounding towns and cities,” she guessed.

“How did you-?!” demanded Vergil in shock and surprise.

Dante started laughing. “In case you forgot Vergil, sis here used to read a lot of comic books.”

Vergil facepalmed. “Anyway. He would have succeeded if the first female didn’t get her mind back, overcame the programming and then made a hive connected with the rest of the converted females, with her as the queen,” he explained.

“Then they converted the world, killed all of the males, got world jumping tech and encountered a race of creatures that had gone through a similar process, only this race was completely male and it had been magic that turned them from human to world conquer,” guessed Sunset.

“Hence the Phantom’s,” realised Dante.

Vergil stared at her for several seconds. “I am never going to be surprised by you again, sister.”

“So she was right?” asked Dante.

“Yes,” replied Vergil. “The Phantoms were created on another earth when a Witch converted a group of males into them by using a ritual the forced males with magical potential into despair, where they thought it would be better to curl up and die than continue living. Only for one of them to regain his free will and form a hive connection with the others. They rose up and killed the Witch before spreading across the earth like a plague, killing any female they found and forcing any male they found into despair making them transform into a new Phantom, before finding a spell that let them jump between worlds.”

“Where they met the females,” stated Sunset.

“Yes, the two species are old. Old enough that when they came into being, our earth was still a volcano rock that was blazing from its creation.”

Dante gave a whistle. “That’s old!”

“Indeed. They have always been at war,” the three siblings walked past a wall that displayed an army of white female angel like being fighting red flesh and blood creatures that were clearly Phantoms.

“Nine, just going on ten millennia ago the original Queen and King of the Iron Maidens and Phantom races killed it each in battle. While the Iron Maidens had a successor who took over, it was a mad scramble for power among the Phantoms. One of them rose to take control, the strongest and cruellest of them all: Wiseman.”

Sunset sat down on a swing while Dante leaned against the bar as Vergil continued his tale.

“But Wiseman did not rise alone. At his right hand was his most trusted lieutenant, his blood brother and one of the few Phantom’s to keep his free will when Wiseman took over the hive mind.”

“Sparda?” asked Dante. Even though he already knew.

Vergil nodded. “But Sparda betrayed Mundus. He fell in love with an Iron Maiden: Eva,” the wall behind the swings showed a Phantom and an Iron Maiden kissing each other. “The union between Phantom and Iron Maiden was inconceivable,” explained Vergil as he sat down on a bench. “But it happened and with it came new lift. Twin boys, you and I,” he nodded to Dante, “A hybrid of the flesh and armoured races, Kamen Riders.”

“And me?” asked Sunset.

Vergil hesitated. “I don’t know any more of how your able to transform into a Kamen Rider or where you come from than you do. It always baffled both Mother and Father as they could find no Iron Maiden or Phantom blood in you. For what it is worth, I’m sorry about having to say that.”

Sunset just sighed. “It’s not your fault. I’m just disappointed that I was so close and now I’m so far again,” she looked at Vergil. “Continue b-b-b-bro-”

Vergil just chuckled. “You don’t have to acknowledge the sibling bond between us just yet,” he continued his tale. “Sparda and Eva used their powers to set up a barrier around the earth that would stop their kind from reaching it. When Wiseman learned of Sparda’s betrayal his fury knew no bounds. He was able to tear a small hole in the barrier and he hunted the lovers down with what little amount of his force that he’d been able to bring to earth with him.”

“I’m starting to see where this is going,” muttered Sunset sadly. “Wiseman was that bald man that I remember fighting, wasn’t he?”

Vergil nodded then his head whipped back to Sunset so fast that both she and Dante could have sworn they heard something go crack. “You fought Wiseman and lived?!” he demanded.

“Yeah but I barely scratched him,” came the mopping reply.

Vergil stared at his sister for a few seconds before snapping himself out of it. “Anyway, Eva was murdered by his own hand, as for Sparda he demanded a more brutal fate. Endless punishment and pain,” the wall behind them showed a purple haired man with his head split open crushing a bleeding red-haired lady. Along with a black man screaming in pain as he was wrapped in chains.

Vergil got up off the bench and started walking with Dante and Sunset following. “But even as Eva was destroyed and Sparda was imprisoned for eternity, each knew that the seeds for their revenge had already been sown,” Vergil stopped and turned to his family. “Because according to legend the other thing that can slay a Phantom King is a Kamen Rider. Which is an armoured shaped shifting being.”

Dante and Sunset’s eyes widened.

“Those Kamen Rider’s now exist, the three of us,” the wall to the left displayed a red background that had black Phantoms on it and a light blue background that had white Iron Maidens. In the centre was a black and white being with one Iron Maiden wing and one Phantom wing: A Kamen Rider.

Vergil took them into the tunnel. “Wiseman believe that only a single child had been born and that the human Kamen Rider had been destroyed. But he was wrong, for there two Kamen Rider’s born and the human Kamen Rider was simply lost. Each of the birthed Kamen Rider’s had been hidden well and the human Kamen Rider was out of his reach. Sparda Armed his sons. The Rebellion for Dante and the Yamato for Vergil. Had it not been for these sword’s then you and I would have been killed when the Phantom’s first found his Dante. The only reason he did not arm you, Sunset, was because you were older, had a better grasp of your powers, had developed said powers more and had much more practice than Dante or I. Also, you had four weapons that could keep up with both of his swords that now belong to Dante and I.”

“At least now we know what your sword is called,” commented Sunset.

“Rebellion turned into a scythe and an axe, does the Yamato do that?” asked Dante.

“No,” chuckled Vergil. “Yamato is more of a simple and deliberate weapon than the flashy Rebellion. Changing the energy in it just changes how I fight with it.”

“Cool!” Sunset had stars in her eyes.

“So Wiseman killed our mom and imprisoned our dad?” asked Dante.

“Yes,” replied Vergil.

“And we’re the offspring of two races that hate each other?”

“Iron Maiden mother and Phantom father?” asked Sunset.

“That is correct,” replied Vergil. “We are Kamen Rider’s. We are the only ones that can slay the Phantom King.”

“Good, how?” asked Dante.

Vergil opened his mouth to explain, but was cut off by a moaning voice:

“DAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAANNNNNNNNNNNNNNTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTEEEEEEEEEE!!!!”

“SSSSSSSSSSSSUUUUUUUUUUUUUNNNNNNNNNNNNNNSSSSSSSSSSSEEEEEEEEEEEEETTTTTTTTT!!!!!”

Three heads snapped around towards the source of the voice. A man was staggering down the alley, his eyes were completely black and black blood was leaking out of them.

“A spotter!” snarled Vergil. “Fucking Phantom collaborators!” he pulled out a throwing knife and a flick of his wrist buried it into the man’s forehead.

Sunset jumped away from the wall that she was leaning on as if it were on fire as the world started to shift.

Vergil turned back to his siblings. “Your both being dragged into the Slip Dimension! I’ll find Kate, she’ll get you both out! Stand strong!”

Dante cracked his neck as Vergil ran off.

Sunset placed her Driver On Ring over her belt buckle. [DRIVER ON! PLEASE!] A magic circle appeared in front of the buckle as it grew out into the Wizard Driver. Sunset pressed the left Shift Lever making the Hand Author turn to the left. [MAGICAL TOUCH HENSHIN!] As the Driver started to chant Sunset placed her left hand with the Active Ring in front of the Wizard Driver’s Hand Author. [ACTIVE PLEASE!] She held her left hand out to the side and the active magic circle appeared. [LET’S GO!] It started to pass through her. “HENSHIN!” shouted Sunset as the active magic circle passed over her head, transforming her into Kamen Rider Symbol.

Dante held his own Driver On Ring over his belt buckle. [DRIVER ON!] A magic circle appeared in front of the buckle as it grew out into his Driver. Dante then punched the Nephilim Ring into the Driver’s left slot. [SET!] He twisted the Nephilim Ring forwards making his Driver’s gate spring open. [OPEN!] The nephilim magic circle appeared in front of him [N-E-P-H-I-L-I-M!] Then started to move back towards him. “HENSHIN!” shouted Dante as the nephilim magic circle passed over him, transforming him into Kamen Rider Dante.

A pair of Shielded Valkyrie Phantom’s appeared and each threw a bomb at the two Kamen Riders. Who rolled out of the way of the explosions.

Dante pulled out Ebony and Ivory before spinning them, then opening fire on the Shielded Valkyrie Phantoms. Only for the bullets to bounce off in random directions.

“Dante! I thought that we already figured out that bullets don’t work on the shields!” shouted Symbol as she was forced to use the Active Blade to block several bullets as they bounced around randomly.

“Sorry!” shouted Dante as he switched the Nephilim Ring for the Demon Ring. [SET!] He punched it into the left slot. [OPEN!] Then the demon magic circle appeared in front of him. [A-R-B-I-T-E-R!] It passed through Dante, transforming him into the Demon Style. He reached around to his back and pulled Arbiter off his backplate before turning the handle. [GRAPPLE MODE!] Arbiter shifted into the Demon Pull. Dante used it twice, the first time he ripped the Shielded Valkyrie Phantom’s shield from its grasp and the second time pulled the Phantom itself into axe range. Dante then turned the handle again. [AXE MODE!] The Demon Pull transformed back into Arbiter as Dante punched the Demon Ring into the back of it. [THREE!] The blade opened to reveal a trio of red circles. [DEMON AXE STRIKE!] Dante then slammed the axe down three times as red energy gathered around it, making the Valkyrie Phantom explode.

Symbol slid the Ice and Bind Rings onto her right index and ring fingers before pressing down on the right Shift Lever. [MAGIC TOUCHIE HENSHIN!] Then she scanned her right hand across the Wizard Driver’s Hand Author. [ICE BIND PLEASE!] Symbol held her right hand out to the side and the two magic circles appeared before moving through her. Symbol then pressed the right Shift Lever twice. [MAGIC TOUCHIE GO!] She scanned the Ice and Bind Rings across the Wizard Driver’s Hand Author. [BIND MAGIC PLEASE!] Orange energy gathered around the grapple gauntlet as Symbol fired a chain made of orange energy. The spike on the end of it speared through the shielded of a Shielded Valkyrie Phantom and a harsh tug robbed the Phantom of its defence. Symbol then fired several shots from the Active Rifle. Then Symbol pressed the right shift Lever four times. [MAGIC TOUCHIE GO!] The Wizard Driver’s Hand Author reset. [VERY NICE!] She scanned the Ice and Bind Rings across her Driver. [ICE BIND MAGIC!] Orange mana started to gather around the Bind Ring. [THE BEST!] Symbol held up her right hand. “Ice Chain Surround!” several orange energy chains shot out of the Bind Ring and surrounded the Valkyrie Phantom before spearing it from all sides and making it explode.

The Symbol saw a Death Knight Phantom pull itself from the ground and charge at her. She swapped the Active Ring for the Giga Ring and pressed the left Shift Lever. [MAGICAL TOUCH HENSHIN!] Symbol scanned her left hand across the Wizard Driver’s Hand Author. [GIGA PLEASE!] Then she held her left hand towards the ground. [BREAK THROUGH!] The giga magic circle appeared under her boots and rose up through her, sending the Death Knight Phantom flying backwards as it was hit by the circle. She brought the Giga Axe around and cracked the Phantom’s shield before pressing down on the left Shift Lever three times. [MAGICAL TOUCH SPELL!] She scanned her right hand across the Wizard Driver. [GIGA A RANK SPELL!] Green mana covered her body. “Giga Embodiment!” shouted Symbol as she blocked the attack with her forearm.

She then punched the shield with enough force for it to shatter before pulling out the Giga Spear and pulled open its Hand Author. [COME ON A STAB SHAKE HANDS!] Then scanned the Giga Ring. [GIGA! STAB STRIKE!] Symbol spun the Giga Spear around as energy gathered around it before stabbing forwards. “Piercing Giga!” the energy shot off the spear as a lance and slammed into the Death Knight Phantom causing it to explode in a giant fireball.

Dante punched the Demon Ring into the back of Arbiter’s blade. [ONE!] Red energy started to gather around the blade. [DEMON AXE STRIKE!] Dante spun it around and then slashed downwards firing a spinning energy blade that smashed into the shield of the Death Knight Phantom, making it lose balance. Dante then punched the Demon Ring into the left slot of his Driver. [GO! KICK STRIKE!] Red energy gathered around his boot as he jumped into the air. “Aerial Flush!” shouted Dante as he spun around and threw a spin kick. The energy around his boot turned into a spinning energy axe blade that slammed into the Death Knight Phantom, cutting a red line down the centre of it. It sparked for a few seconds before the Death Knight Phantom exploded.

“Please don’t let there be any more!” whined Symbol.

“Don’t say that!” shouted Dante.

Too late! A wall was torn down by a chainsaw and a Phantom that looked like a Lesser Blade Phantom with a chainsaw instead of a tanto sawed its way out of the wall in a mighty spray of sparks.

Dante glared at Symbol in anger. “You just had to say that! Didn’t you?!” he demanded of her.

Symbol shrugged. “Sorry,” she replied sheepishly.

Dante rolled his visors as he pulled Arbiter off his back and ran forwards, punching the Demon Ring into the back of it as he did so. [FOUR!] The blade opened to reveal three red circles. [DEMON AXE STRIKE!] Dante brought the axe around as three pulses of red energy were pulled into it. Dante then swung the axe down and the Ravager Phantom swung its chainsaw up. The two met and a spray of sparks was unleashed as the two weapons met. To Dante’s shock, he was overpowered and sent flying backwards with sparks spraying from his chest plate as the chainsaw cut across it.

“DANTE!” shouted Symbol as her brother went flying past her and smashed into a wall before being buried under a pile of rubble. “Your gonna pay for that!” She snarled as she grabbed the Giga Axe and pulled open its Hand Author. [COME ON A SMASH SHAKE HANDS!] Then she scanned the Giga Ring across it. [GIGA SMASH STRIKE!] Green mana was pulled into the Giga Axe as Symbol dashed forwards at high speed. “Giga Down!” shouted Symbol as she brought the Giga Axe down. The chainsaw and axe clashed but the Ravage was able to force Symbol’s weapon to the side and slash her across the chest plate throwing up a spray of sparks.

“ARGH!” shouted Symbol as she stumbled backwards and was slashed a second time. Trying to get some breathing room she swapped the Giga Ring for the Burst Ring and pressed the left Shift Lever. [MAGICAL TOUCH HENSHIN!] Then scanned the Burst Ring. [BURST PLEASE!] The burst magic circle appeared behind her and passed through her. [CAST THE SPELL!] The Ravager was forced back by the magic circle for a second as Symbol pressed the left Shift Lever three times. [MAGICAL TOUCH GO!] Then she scanned the Burst Ring. [BURST! A RANK SPELL!] The Ravager Phantom ran at her but a wall of earth burst out of the ground in front of it, blocking its path.

As the Ravager Phantom started to saw through the wall, Symbol switched the Burst Ring for the Active Ring and pressed the left Shift Lever. [MAGICAL TOUCH HENSHIN!] Then scanned the Active Ring. [ACTIVE PLEASE!] The active magic circle appeared to her left and moved through her. [LET’S GO!] She then slide the Boost and Defend Rings onto her right index and ring fingers before pressing the right Shift Lever. [MAGIC TOUCHIE HENSHIN!] She scanned her right hand. [BOOST DEFEND PLEASE!] The boost and the defend magic circles appeared to her right and moved through her. Symbol then pressed the right Shift Lever twice. [MAGIC TOUCHIE GO!] Then scanned her right hand. [DEFEND MAGIC PLEASE!] Grey mana covered the Defend Shield. At that moment the Ravager Phantom cut through the wall and slashed her across the shield, sparks flew as the two of them clashed with shield and chainsaw. They were even but it was only a matter of time until the spell ran out of mana.

[ONE!] [NEPHILIM SABER STRIKE!] [GO! KICK STRIKE!] “REVENGE!” shouted Dante as he charged the Rebellion with red and blue energy before slashing upwards. This cut a line into the Ravager Phantom and then sent it shooting into the air. It quickly fell back towards the ground.

“My turn!” Dante jumped into the air as he pressed the Nephilim Ring into the back of Rebellion’s handle. [SIX!] The mouth opened to reveal six red and blue circles. [NEPHILIM SABER STRIKE!] Dante jumped into the air as he punched the Nephilim Ring into the left slot of his Driver. [GO! KICK STRIKE!] The red and blue energy blazed around his right boot. Just as the Ravager Phantom got back to its feet it was assaulted by a barrage of right kicks that made sparks explode from each of the impact points as if it was bleeding from the amount of damage.

“It’s still alive?!” demanded Dante, having thought that attack would have finished it off. “Are you kidding me!?” he punched the Nephilim Ring into the back of the Rebellion. [FIVE!] Opening the mouth and revealing one less red and blue circle than the last time it opened. [NEPHILIM SABER STRIKE!] Then he punched the Nephilim Ring into the left slot of his Driver. [GO! KICK STRIKE!] He threw the sword forwards, making it spear the Phantom before Dante dashed forwards, kicking the hilt, driving the sword deeper into the Phantom and causing the Ravager Phantom to explode.

Dante held out his hand and Rebellion came shooting out of the smoke, hilt first and back into his hand. Suddenly he was hit in the back of the helmet. “OW!” he shouted turning to Symbol. “What the fuck was that for?!” he demanded angrily.

“Using me as bait! Don’t think that I didn’t see you waiting longer than you need to charge up!” shouted Symbol.

At that moment another pair of Ravager Phantoms burst through the ground, having sawed their way out with their chainsaws.

“This conversation is not over!” snarled Symbol as stepped away from Dante, one of the Ravager Phantom’s was following her with its eyes.

“Yeah, sure, whatever,” replied Dante.

“At least this time you won’t be able to pull a stunt like that again,” if her helmet was in its human head form, then Symbol would be smirking.

“Woo is me,” Dante fake moaned. “Whatever will I do!?”

“Use your own skills for once,” deadpanned Symbol as she took off running, dodging around the Ravager Phantom’s chainsaw as it tried for a swipe.

“Oh! That’s right!” replied Dante.

Dante sidestepped a downwards slash and jumped over an across slash before landing back on the ground and being attacked by the Ravager Phantom. “Let’s give this a go!” Dante switched the Nephilim Ring for the Angel Ring and punched it into his Driver’s left slot. [SET!] He turned the ring backwards making the gate close then turned it forward making the Driver’s gate open. [OPEN!] The angel magic circle shot out of the Driver’s gate. [O-S-I-R-I-S!] Then back through Dante transforming him into the Angel Style. Then Dante punched the Angel Ring into the back of Osiris’ blade. [FIVE!] The scythe’s blade opened to reveal five light blue circles. [ANGEL SCYTHE STRIKE!] He spun the scythe vertically left, then vertically right when the Ravager made to block. Sparks flew as the Ravager Phantom swung the chainsaw to the right, but Dante jumped over it and slashed down with Osiris, making even more sparks fly.

“So it can’t block attacks from multiple directions with the oversized garden blade,” muttered Dante.

“I heard that!” shouted Symbol from where she was fighting her Ravager Phantom in a new substyle for the Burst Style.

“What the-?! I was talking about this thing! Not you!” shouted Dante.

“Oh, sorry!” replied Symbol.

“You don’t even have anything that looks like a chainsaw or a scythe! Why did you think I was talking about you?!” demanded Dante.

Symbol paused after kicking the Ravager Phantom back “That is a good point,” she allowed after a moment of thought. Before she had to start fighting once more.

Dante switched the Angel Ring for the Demon Ring and punched it into the left slot of his Driver. [SET!] He turned his wrist back making his Driver’s gate close, before turning his wrist forwards to make his Driver’s gate open. [OPEN!] The demon magic circle appeared from his Driver. [A-R-B-I-T-E-R!] The demon magic circle then went back through him and transformed Dante into the Demon Style. Then Dante punched his Demon Ring into the back of Arbiter’s blade. [ONE!] The axe blade opened to reveal a single red circle. [DEMON AXE STRIKE!] As red energy gathered around Arbiter’s blade, Dante swung it around and fired a spinning energy construct of the axe head at the Ravager Phantom. It had set itself on fire and charge, only to be forced to stop as it blocked the construct with the side of its chainsaw.

The Ravager Phantom was able to quickly shatter the construct, but it had given Dante all the time he needed. While the Ravager Phantom had been blocking the construct he had punched the Demon Ring into the left slot of his Driver. [GO! KICK STRIKE!] Dante took up a kicking stance as red energy was pulled from Arbiter and into his boot. “Flush!” He flipped backwards and from his boot came a spinning energy construct of an axe head, but this one was much more powerful. The Ravager Phantom saw the attack coming and set itself on fire before cutting upwards with its chainsaw. But this time the construct exploded the second it made contact with the chainsaw. The force and heat from the explosion sent the Ravager Phantom flying backwards with sparks coming from its body as it landed on the ground painfully.

For a second Dante thought it was over. Then the Ravager Phantom came charging through the smoke and slashed him across the chest plate making sparks fly in all directions. “Oh come on!” shouted Dante in anger as he rolled across the ground from the force of the attack.

Dante got back up and punched the Demon Ring into the bottom of Arbiter’s hilt. [FOUR!] The axe’s blade opened to reveal four red circles. [DEMON AXE STRIKE!] Red energy started to gather around the axe blade as Dante punched the Demon Ring into the left slot of his Driver. [GO! KICK STRIKE!] He took up a kicking stance. “You might have been able to overpower three pulses, but what about nine?!” the energy was pulled from Arbiter into his right boot. “Trinity Smash!” Dante ran forwards and lashed out with a sidekick. The Ravage Phantom blocked by swinging its chainsaw down onto the boot. Only for said limb to release nine pulses of red energy, the Phantom had no problem with cutting through the first three, the next three started to force it back and the last three overpowered the Ravager Phantom then sent it flying backwards with sparks and micro explosions coming off its body.

For a minute Dante thought that was the end of it, but then the Ravager Phantom got back up. “You have got to be kidding me!” he screamed as he swapped the Demon Ring for the Nephilim Ring and punched it into the left slot on his Driver. [SET!] He turned his wrist back, then forwards, making the Driver’s gate close and then open [OPEN!] The nephilim magic circle appeared from the Driver. [N-E-P-H-I-L-I-M!] It shot forwards, sending the charging Ravager Phantom flying backwards before slamming into Dante, transforming him into the Nephilim Style. He held down the Rebellion Blade’s Trigger. [NEPHILIM SABER STRIKE!] The eyes flashed as red and blue energy was charged into the Rebellion Blade. Then he slashed forwards. “Drive!” a crescent of red and blue energy was fired from the Rebellion Blade and slammed into chainsaw of the Ravager Phantom as it held it up to block. After a few seconds, the crescent exploded, this made the Ravager Phantom fall to its knees with sparks coming out of its body from the amount of damage that had been done to it as micro explosions went off around it.

“Almost there,” muttered Dante as he punched the Nephilim Ring into the back of the Rebellion Blade’s handle. [SIX!] The mouth of the skull on the sword opened to reveal six circles that were coloured both red and blue. [NEPHILIM SABER STRIKE!] Dante then held down the trigger that was hidden behind the Rebellion Blade’s skull. [NEPHILIM SABER STRIKE!] The eyes blazed as the red and blue power around the Rebellion Blade raged with even greater intensity. “One more,” Dante punched the Nephilim Ring into the left slot on his Driver. [GO! KICK STRIKE!] The energy around the Rebellion blade was pulled into Dante’s legs and grew even more powerful. “Six Drive Kicks!” Shouted Dante, he backflipped and firing a pair of red and blue crescents from his legs. Then he flipped forwards, firing another two red and blue crescents. Finally, he gave a pair of cross kicks that fired another pair of red and blue crescents. The Ravager Phantom’s eyes went wide with horror as that attacks impacted its body and exploded when the smoke from the six massive explosions cleared it was still standing. But then fell over and exploded.

Symbol jumped back as the spell around the Defend Shield finally ran out. [BURST PLEASE!] All of a sudden the burst magic circle appeared behind her and moved through her. [CAST THE SPELL!] Symbol looked down at her body in shock. “What the-?!” she had transformed with even touching the Wizard Driver let alone the Shift Levers! “The last time this happened was when- GAH!” Symbol saw the Ravager Phantom had set itself on fire and charge with its chainsaw. She held up her right arm, forgetting that she was not in the Active Boost Defend style nor did she have the Defend Shield on her arm to block the blow. She remembered that rather little or rather important fact too late and braced for the pain that was to come from the chainsaw making impact with her arm. At least it would be quick and give her a chance to counter-attack.

It was not to be.

A burst of white and brown light came from Symbol’s right hand that threw the Ravager Phantom backwards. When Symbol finished blinking the spots from her visors she looked down and saw a pair of new rings on her right index and ring fingers. The ring on her ring finger was purple with a white gem in the centre of it that had a silver mirror etched into it. The other ring was purple with a brown gem that had black dust particles etched into it. “Just in time!” Symbol pressed the right Shift Lever. [MAGIC TOUCHIE HENSHIN!] Then she scanned the rings on her right hand across the Wizard Driver’s Hand Author. [DUST MIRROR PLEASE!] The sound of a mirror cracking and a broom sweeping came from the Driver.

Two new magic circles appeared behind Symbol. The first was a brown dust logo, inside of a brown diamond, inside a brown eight-pointed star that was inside a brown two layered diamond that had brown text between the two layers. The second magic circle was a silver mirror logo, inside a silver diamond, inside a silver eight-pointed star that was inside a silver two layered diamond that had silver runic text between the two layers. These are the dust and mirror magic circles.

The two of them moved through her and transformed Symbol into her new Burst Substyle.

Her gloves gained silver mirror like armour on the back of her hands and knuckles. Silver mirror like armoured appeared on the back of Symbol’s elbows. Symbol’s shoulder and knee armour gained a silver reflective sheen. Silver armour that looked like it was made of mirrors appeared on the top and sides of her boots. Segmented brown armour that looked to be made from thousands of hexagons appeared on Symbol’s shins and around her upper legs. Brown armour that was segmented appeared around Symbol’s upper arms and on her forearms, it looked to be made of hundreds of brown octagons. Finally, the bronze hexagon on Symbol’s chest plate turned into a pair of logos, the first was a brown broom logo and the other was a silver mirror logo. This is Kamen Rider Symbol in her Burst Dust Mirror Style.

Symbol looked down at herself. “Dust and a mirror against a chainsaw? This is either going to end really good or really badly for me,” suddenly the Ravager Phantom set itself on fire and ran at her. Symbol pressed the right Shift Lever twice. [MAGIC TOUCHIE GO!] Then Symbol scanned the rings on her right hand over the Wizard Driver’s Hand Author. [MIRROR MAGIC PLEASE!] She held out her right hand a wall made of mirror crystal appeared between her and the Ravager Phantom. Which continue its charge, only for its reflection to jump out of the mirror and charge at it! The Ravager Phantom’s eyes went wide right before they slammed into each other and both of them went up in an explosion!

“Hey!” shouted Dante as he ran over. “How is that fair?! I struggle like crazy and you beat your’s in one move?!”

Symbol shrugged, just goes to show how much stronger I am than you,” came her blunt reply.

Dante seethed.

At that moment the barrier that was keeping them trapped vanished and at the other end of the street was Kate painting a magic circle on the ground. “Dante! Sunset! The Gateway's ready! Come on!” she called out.

“Couldn't you have put it closer?!” demanded Symbol as the two Kamen Rider’s ran towards Kate.

“Why?” asked Kate.

As if to answer her question the road rose up and then dropped down revealing a giant hole. Then the Slip Dimension made the street stretched!

“THAT’S WHY!” bellow Symbol in fury.

“Sorry!” shouted Kate. “Can you get across?”

“WHAT DO YOU THINK?!” demanded Dante.

Symbol had calmed herself down by this point. “We’ll find another way around to you!” she shouted across the gap.

They turned and ran back the way they came.

“How are we going to- WOAH!” Dante was cut off as the Slip Dimension reacted once more.

Lampposts broke as parts of the road rose up and slammed back down. The two giant slabs on concrete rose up and started to orbit a pillar, that appeared in the centre of the square they were in while rotating.

Dante stared for a second before turning back to Symbol. “So back to my question,” he began.

Symbol just pointed to the top of the pillar.

Dante turned back to it, then back to Symbol. “What am I supposed to be seeing?” he asked his sister.

“There, at the top of the pillar,” replied Symbol.

Dante looked. “I still don't see it,” he replied in confusion.

“There’s a slight blue glow, meaning that there must be an Iron Maiden power up there!” hissed out Symbol.

“Oh!” Dante’s visors went wide in realization. “Lets try and find a way up there!”

“What do you think I’ve been doing?!” demanded Symbol

“Not looking hard enough,” was Dante’s swift reply.

“What?!” demanded Symbol.

“Look,” pointed Dante. “There’s a grapple point over there!”

“Symbol looked and saw that her brother was correct. “Oh, your right.”

Dante puffed up in pride.

“For once,” finished Symbol.

Dante deflated. “What the hell is that supposed to mean?!” he demanded.

“You know,” replied Symbol as she swapped the Burst Ring for the Active Ring and pressed the left Shift Lever. [MAGICAL TOUCH HENSHIN!] Then she scanned the Active Ring. [ACTIVE PLEASE!] The active magic circle appeared to her left and moved through her. [LET’S GO!] Transforming Symbol into her Active Style. Then she slide the Boost and Defend Rings onto her right index and ring fingers before pressing the right Shift Lever. [MAGIC TOUCHIE HENSHIN!] Then she scanned her right hand across the Wizard Driver’s Hand Author. [BOOST DEFEND PLEASE!] She held her right hand out to the side, the boost and defend magic circles appeared and passed through her as Symbol pressed the right Shift Lever again. [MAGIC TOUCHIE GO!] Purple energy ran through the Boost Grieves as Symbol scanned her right hand. [BOOST MAGIC PLEASE!] Symbol then jumped and made it onto the upper pathway with ease.

“Show off,” muttered Dante.

“LIKE YOUR ONE TO TALK!” Symbol shouted back down.

Dante swapped the Nephilim Ring for the Angel Ring and punched it into his Driver’s left slot. [SET!] He turned his wrist backwards, making the Driver’s gate close before turning his wrist forwards, forcing the Driver’s gate to open. [OPEN!] The angel magic circle was shot out of the Driver. [O-S-I-R-I-S!] It backed into Dante, transforming him into the Angel Style as it passed over him. Dante turned the handle of Osiris. [HOOK MODE!] Transforming the scythe into the Angel Lift. He hooked it into the grapple point and pulled himself up to the path with Symbol.

They both ran along it until they reached a pair of closed gates and saw a number of floating rocks with grapple points on the underside of them.

“Let’s go!” Dante used the Angel Lift to jump to all four of the rocks before landing on a ledge that was coming from a wall.

Symbol jumped from rock to rock before falling down and landing on the ledge with her brother. She switched the Boost and Defend Rings for the Ice and Bind Rings before pressing the right Shift Lever. [MAGIC TOUCHIE HENSHIN!] Then she scanned the Ice and Bind Rings. [ICE BIND PLEASE!] She held her right hand out to the side, making the two magic circles appear and pass over her. Then Symbol pressed the right Shift Lever twice. [MAGIC TOUCHIE GO!] She swiped her right hand across the Wizard Driver’s Hand Author. [BIND MAGIC PLEASE!] Out of the Grapple Gauntlet shot a chain of orange energy that Symbol used to pull another ledge out from a wall.

Both of the Kamen Riders jumped to a pair of ledges and then to another pair of floating island.

“Another blue rose?” asked Dante when he saw what was on top of the pillar.

“Looks like it,” replied Symbol.

Dante jumped to one of the ledges that were floating around the island, but he miss judged his jump and landed on it just as it had started to flip over!

“DANTE!” shouted Symbol as she switched the Ice and Bind Rings for the Boost and Defend Rings. [MAGIC TOUCHIE HENSHIN!] Then she scanned right her hand across the Wizard Driver’s Hand Author. [BOOST DEFEND PLEASE!] Before the transformation was even halfway complete, Symbol pressed the right Shift Lever. [MAGIC TOUCHIE GO!] Then she scanned her right hand across the Wizard Driver’s Hand Author. [BOOST MAGIC PLEASE!] Purple energy ran down the Boost Grieves as she ran forwards and jumped. Her body was moving at such speed that she left red, grey and purple energy lines behind it as she grabbed Dante. She jumped off the platform right before it could flip and landed on the top of the pillar.

“Thanks-” Dante began.

*WHAM!*

Before being punched in the face plate. “What the hell was that for?!” he demanded when he recovered.

“Leaping before looking,” replied Symbol as she picked up the blue rose.

Suddenly, they found themselves in the mindscape once more.

“Let’s hope this is the last time,” muttered Dante.

“Doubtful,” snarked Symbol.

“Why?!” demanded Dante.

“There were four chains when we first got in here, we’ve broken two of them. We’ll likely have to break a third to get out of here. That leaves one more chain to break,” explained Symbol as she walked on ahead.

“Just great!” groaned Dante as he ran after his sister.

The two Kamen Rider’s quickly reached the edge of the ledge and saw that the gap was too long for them to jump across and that it was too unstable for the Angel Lift or the Demon Pull.

“You can likely make that jump but I can’t,” stated Dante.

“No,” replied Symbol. “It’s too far for my Boost Grieves to make.”

“So we just stand here and do nothing?!” demanded Dante.

“No, now we get another power up,” replied Symbol.

“Now that’s just-”

Suddenly, the swift magic circle appeared above Symbol. [SWIFT PLEASE!] Then it fell through her. [DASH AWAY!] Once more she had transformed without touching the Wizard Driver.

“-stupid,” finished Dante lamely, right before clutching his helmet as new knowledge forced its way in.

Symbol was smart enough to offline her visors as a bright light shone from around her right hand. When it cleared she was wearing a pair of new rings on her right index and right rings fingers. The ring on her index finger was yellow with a grey gem in the centre of it that had a pair of red dragon wings engraved into it. The other ring was yellow with the gem being blue and a dark blue crosshair engraved into the centre of it. These are the Wing and Sniper Rings.

Symbol then pressed down on the right Shift Lever. [MAGIC TOUCHIE HENSHIN!] Before she scanned the Wing and Sniper Rings over the Wizard Driver’s hand Author. [WING SNIPER PLEASE!] Symbol held her right hand out to the side and a pair of magical circles appeared. The first was a pair of silver wings, inside a silver inverted triangle, within a silver eight-pointed star inside a silver two layered upside down triangle with silver runic text between the two layers. The second magic circle was a dark blue crosshair inside a dark blue inverted triangle, inside a dark blue eight-pointed star within a dark blue two layered upside down triangle that had dark blue runic text between the two layers.

The two magic circles moved through Symbol, transforming her into her new Swift substyle as the sound of wings flapping followed by a sniper rifle firing and reloading came from the Wizard Driver. The bronze inverted triangle in the centre of her chest plate turned into a pair of logos, the first was of a pair of silver wings and the other was a dark blue crosshair logo. Her left shoulder guard transformed into a silver orb with a silver blade in front of it, while her right shoulder pauldron turned dark blue and curved downwards. Her right forearm turned dark blue with a dark blue forearm guard while the wristlet on that wrist into a black ammo band. Coming from her back was a pair of silver bird wings with red feathers called the Flight Wings. Symbol held out her right hand and a dark blue sniper rifle appeared in it with black accents, this is the Sniper Shooter.

“Not. One. Word!” grumbled Dante as the information dump finished.

“I didn’t say anything,” replied Symbol. Although it was easy to tell that she was smirking if her helmet had been in its human face form.

Dante grumbled a large variety of swear words as he punched his Angel Ring into his Driver’s left slot. [KICK STRIKE GO!] He jumped into the air and kicked back. Physics acted as if he had kicked a solid surface as he zoomed forwards through the air with his arms out to the side. He left glowing blue trails of wind as he landed on the next island.

Symbol pressed the right Shift Lever. [MAGIC TOUCHIE GO!] She jumped into the air as she scanned her right hand across the Wizard Driver’s Hand Author. [WING MAGIC PLEASE!] Her Flight Wings gave a mighty flap that shot her forwards and let her land on the island next to her brother.

“Nice work, let’s keep it up!” instructed Dante as he jumped into the air and punched the Angel Ring into the left slot of his Driver. [KICK STRIKE GO!] Dante kicked the air and zoomed forwards, landing on the next island that had a tree to one side.

Symbol ran forwards and pressed the right Shift Lever. [MAGIC TOUCHIE GO!] She jumped off the island and scanned her hand across the Hand Author. [WING MAGIC PLEASE!] The Flight Wings gave a mighty flap as she shot into the air and landed on the island next to Dante. She crouched for a few seconds and absorbed the impact before standing back up. “That was fun.”

“On that, we agree,” replied Dante as he punched the Angel Ring into his Driver’s left slot again. [KICK STRIKE GO!] He ran forwards and jumped, landing on the next island with ease after kicking the air behind him.

Symbol took a few paces backwards and then dashed forwards, just before she reached the edge of the island she pressed the right Shift Lever. [MAGIC TOUCHIE GO!] Then as one of her boots left the island she scanned her right hand across the Wizard Driver’s Hand Author. [WING MAGIC PLEASE!] Her Flight Wings gave several mighty flaps as she jumped, propelling her across the gap and letting her land on the next island.

“This has been a bit too easy,” muttered Dante even as he jumped again.

Symbol shot him a glare. “Why did you have to say that?!” she demanded in anger as they got to the next island.

Dante looked at her strangely for a second before his visors when wide as he realised what he had just done. “Sorry!”

Cause and effect.

They arrived at a jump that would require the use of the Angel Lift or Boost Style, then use of the Kick Strike or the Wing Style.

Symbol glared at Dante as she switched the Swift Ring for the Active Ring. She pressed the left Shift Lever. “Congratulations!” [MAGICAL TOUCH HENSHIN!] She scanned her left hand across the Wizard Driver’s Hand Author. [ACTIVE PLEASE!] She held her left hand out to the side. [LET’S GO!] The active magic circle appeared to her left and moved through her. “You have just made-” Symbol slide the Boost and Defend Rings onto her right index and ring fingers then pressed the right Shift Lever. [MAGIC TOUCHIE HENSHIN!] Then she scanned her right hand across the Wizard Driver’s Hand Author. [BOOST DEFEND PLEASE!] She held her right hand out to the side and the two magic circles appeared before moving through her. “-my life-” Then she pressed the right Shift Lever once. [MAGIC TOUCHIE GO!] Before scanning her right hand. [BOOST MAGIC PLEASE!] Purple magical energy charged the Boost Grieves. “-much harder!” snarled Symbol as she jumped up towards the rock with the grapple point on it.

Symbol landed on the rock and swapped the Active Ring for the Swift Ring then pressed the left Shift Lever. [MAGICAL TOUCH HENSHIN!] Then scanned the Swift Ring across the Wizard Driver’s Hand Author. [SWIFT PLEASE!] The Swift magical circle appeared below her, because she was upside down, then moved up through her. [DASH AWAY!] Symbol started falling as the Boost Grieves vanished. She slid the Wing and Sniper Rings onto her right index and ring fingers before pressing the right Shift Lever. [MAGIC TOUCHIE HENSHIN!] Then she scanned her right hand across the Wizard Driver’s Hand Author. [WING SNIPER PLEASE!] The two magic circle appeared to her right and moved through her. Before the transformation was even complete Symbol pressed the right Shift Lever once. [MAGIC TOUCHIE GO!] Then scanned her right hand. [WING MAGIC PLEASE!] The Flight Wings gave a mighty flame and she was only just able to grab onto the ledge and pull herself up.

Dante winced as Symbol jumped off. “I really don’t think this was a case of cause and effect!” he shouted as he turned the handle of Osiris. [HOOK MODE!] He latched into onto the grapple point and pulled himself into the air before punching the Angel Ring into the left slot on his Driver. [KICK STRIKE GO!] He kicked the air and went zooming down onto the ledge. Only to find Symbol staring. “What are you looking at. FUCKING HELL!” he followed her line of sight and what he saw made him scream in shock.

In front of them were three grapple points that were spaced far enough apart to each need use of the Angel Boost or the Wing Style to reach.

“There’s no way I can reach that. I mean you could given you don’t have to change forms. But I barely made that one!”

“Well, find a way,” replied Dante. “We always do.”

A light went off in Symbol’s helmet. “And I just have!” she stated as she got up and walked forwards.

“That was fast,” commented Dante in surprise.

Symbol removed the Active Ring and replaced it with the Burst Ring before pressing down on the Wizard Driver’s left Shift Lever. [MAGICAL TOUCH HENSHIN!] Then she scanned the Burst Ring across the Wizard Driver’s Hand Author. [BURST PLEASE!] She pointed her left hand behind her and the burst magic circle appeared. [CAST THE SPELL!] It passed through her, transforming Symbol into the Burst Style.

“I see where this is going,” Dante realised.

Symbol pressed the left Shift Lever four times. [MAGICAL TOUCH GO!] The Wizard Driver’s Hand Author turned to the left. [VERY NICE!] Symbol scanned the Burst Ring across it. [BURST! S RANK SPELL!] She was then covered in purple energy. [THE BEST!] Before she grabbed Dante and they vanished, appearing on the island.

“Good work, we’re getting the hang of this,” complemented Dante.

Symbol fell to one knee.

“Are you ok?” asked Dante.

“Yeah, teleporting us both took a lot out of me,” replied Symbol as she got back to her boots and they were able to run up a staircase. Although Symbol had to use a railing to support herself.

Then they came to a section that needed an Angel Boost followed by a Demon Pull.

“What now?!” demanded Symbol.

“Now we work together,” replied Dante.

Symbol looked at him in confusion, then at the jump before looking back at Dante. “That just might work,” she swapped the Burst Ring for the Swift Ring and pressed the left Shift Lever. [MAGICAL TOUCH HENSHIN!] Then she scanned her left hand. [SWIFT PLEASE!] She held her left hand up to the sky, making the swift magic circle appear. [DASH AWAY!] It fell through her, transforming Symbol into the Swift Style. She then dawned the Wing and Sniper Rings before pressing the right Shift Lever. [MAGIC TOUCHIE HENSHIN!] Then she scanned her right hand. [WING SNIPER PLEASE!] Symbol held her right glove up to the sky, the two magic circles appeared and fell through her, transforming her into the Swift Wing Sniper Style.

Dante nodded as he switched the Angel and Demon Rings before punching the Demon Ring into his Driver’s left slot. [SET!] He turned his wrist back and then forwards, making his Driver’s gate close before opening it. [OPEN!] The demon magic circle shot out of the Driver. [A-R-B-I-T-E-R!] Then it moved back through him, transforming Dante into the Demon Style. He pulled Arbiter off his back and turned the handle. [GRAPPLE MODE!] It transformed into the Demon Pull.

Symbol pressed the right Shift Lever once. [MAGIC TOUCHIE GO!] Then scanned her right glove across the Wizard Driver’s Hand Author. [WING MAGIC PLEASE!] She locked her arms around Dante’s waist as she jumped. Her Flight Wings gave a mighty flap, propelling them far enough that Dante could use the Demon Pull to get the rock under them so that they dropped down onto it.

“Good work!” called Dante as they hoped to the flight of stairs and ran up them. The two Kamen Rider’s reached the rock that held the third chain. Dante looked at his sister.

She shook her helmet. “It’s all yours.”

Dante turned the Demon Pull’s handle. [AXE MODE!] Making the grapple transform back into Arbiter. He punched the Demon Ring into the back of Arbiter’s blade. [FOUR!] Three pulses of red energy gathered around Arbiter. [DEMON AXE STRIKE!] With a roar Dante brought the axe down, unleashing all three pulses of energy into the rock and causing it to shatter.

The stone hand’s dropped the chains and the statue’s head started to turn towards the siblings as its eyes began to glow.

“What are you hiding in there?” asked Dante as he and Symbol suddenly found themselves back in the Slip Dimension.

All of a sudden an Icarus Phantom appeared and started to fire crossbow bolts at them.

“Woah!” shouted Dante as he and Symbol dodged the attacks. Being on top of a pillar they didn’t have much room to do so. “Watch it you flying rat!” he shouted in anger.

Symbol burst out laughing. Once she had gotten it under control she spoke up. “I’ll take care of the ‘flying rats’ you deal with the Phantom’s on the ground,” she managed to get out through her giggling.

Dante sighed. “I’m never going to live that down, am I?” he questioned rhetorically.

“Nope,” replied Symbol cheerfully as she took to the air. That strange place had been affecting her Flight Wings as now they could move without the added power of a spell. Now that spell could be used to attack!

“I need to watch what I say around you!” shouted Dante as he dropped down to the ground.

He was attacked by a Lesser Blade Phantom and had to roll forwards, leaping over the horizontal blade slash as he did so. Dante jumped into the air and punched the Demon Ring into the back of Arbiter’s blade. [ONE!] The blade opened to reveal a single red circle. [DEMON AXE STRIKE!] Dante swung the axe down as red energy gathered around its blade. A red construct of spinning energy spun off the axe blade. It spun through the air and formed into the shape of an axe blade before slamming into the Lesser Blade Phantom making it stagger backwards before it exploded.

Dante landed on the ground and took advantage of Arbiter’s setting as he punched the Demon Ring into the left slot on his Driver. [GO! KICK STRIKE!] Red energy collected around his right boot as Dante backflipped with his leg out. “Flush!” he yelled as the red energy formed into a blazing construct of a spinning axe blade that slammed into and through a Lesser Blade Phantom. Causing it and the other Lesser Blade Phantom behind it to explode.

Dante then punched his Demon Ring into the back of Arbiter’s blade once more. [FIVE!] The axe blade opened to reveal five red circles. [DEMON AXE STRIKE!] Dante jumped into the air and came down swinging Arbiter over its head. It impacted the quickly raised shield of a Death Knight Phantom and caused the shield to explode from the force behind the swing.

Symbol dodge around a crossbow bolt from the Icarus Phantom and pressed the right Shift Lever once. [MAGIC TOUCHIE GO!] Then scanned her right glove across the Wizard Driver’s Hand Author. [WING MAGIC PLEASE!] She pulled back her wings as they were covered in silver light and swooped down. Her left wing made contact with the Icarus Phantom and cut straight through it making both halves explode.

Symbol then pressed the right Shift Lever four times as she saw another two Icarus Phantoms appear in the air. [MAGIC TOUCHIE GO!] The Wizard Driver’s Hand Author turned to the right as Symbol gave her Flight Wings and flap to avoid a pair of crossbow bolts. [VERY NICE!] Symbol scanned her right hand across the Hand Author. [WING SNIPER MAGIC!] She then had to rise sharply, letting another pair of crossbow bolts pass under her as silver light started to gather around her wings.  [THE BEST!] The silver light around Symbol’s Flight Wings blazed as she shot downwards towards the Icarus Phantoms. “Wing Cutter!” the tips of her Flight Wings left behind trails of silver mana as she cut through the down Icarus Phantoms. A glowing silver line was carved across the stomachs of each of them which then sparked before the two Phantom’s exploded.

“That was quick,” stated Dante.

*Thud*

“Did you have to open your mouth then?” asked as resigned looking Symbol.

“I did it again, didn’t I?” muttered Dante.

“Yes,” replied Symbol.

They both turned around and saw an Alpha Phantom walking towards them. It was humanoid and covered in bronze feathers with four golden wings coming from its back. Each of its hands was made of three brown claws that were tipped with silver talons. Its head was covered in white feathers with golden beady eyes peering at the two Kamen Rider’s from either side of a massive beak that would have been funny looking if it didn’t look sharp enough to skewer them.

This is the Aethon Phantom.

“Here we go again!” shouted Symbol as she pulled the Sniper Shooter off her back and pressed the right Shift Lever once. [MAGIC TOUCHIE GO!] Then she scanned her right glove across the Wizard Driver’s Hand Author. [SNIPER MAGIC PLEASE!] Symbol pulled the trigger and fired a single bolt from the Sniper Shooter that roared through the air towards the Aethon Phantom.

Only for her to miss as the Phantom dodged to the side and close the distance in a split second. Symbol tried to hit it in the chin with the back of the Sniper Shooter. But the Aethon Phantom got out of the way and kicked her in the chest, making sparks fly as it raked its talons up and down her chest plate. Symbol shouted in pain as she stumbled backwards from the blow.

“Sunset!” shouted Dante as he watched his sister get attacked. He punched the Demon Ring into the back of Arbiter’s blade. [TWO!] The axe’s head opened to reveal a pair of red circles. [DEMON AXE STRIKE!] Dante pulled back Arbiter and slammed it into the ground, sending a pair of red energy waves that threw the Phantom into the air. But instead of falling back down, it merely spread its wings and hovered.

Dante faceplate palmed. “It has wings, Dante! How is throwing it into the air going to help?!” he shouted at himself as he pulled out Ebony and Ivory before punching the Demon Ring into the back of their hammers. [EBONY AND IVORY STRIKE!] Black energy charged around Ebony’s barrel while white energy gathered around Ivory’s barrel. “Ricoshot!” shouted Dante he pulled the triggers. A pair of bullets that spiralled around each other roared out of the twin hand cannons. The Aethon Phantom merely air-dashed to the side, avoiding the attack with ease.

Symbol saw her opening and took it. She pressed the right Shift Lever four times. [MAGIC TOUCHIE GO!] The Wizard Driver’s Hand Author turned to the right. [VERY NICE!] Then Symbol scanned her right glove. [WING SNIPER MAGIC!] Blue energy started to gather around the Sniper Shooter’s barrel. [THE BEST!] Then as it reached critical Symbol pulled the trigger. “Sniper Beam!” a column sized beam of blue energy roared out of the Sniper Shooter towards the Aethon Phantom. It slammed into the Phantom and send it flying down into the road as a smoking heap.

“Nice one sis!” shouted Dante.

“Keep your guard up!” shouted Symbol. “If that thing is anything like the last Alpha Phantom we fought, then it won’t go down easy!”

“Got it- WOAH!” in the second Dante had turned his attention away from the Aethon Phantom it had come rocketing out of the smoke cloud and raked both of its hand talons down his chest armour drawing six lines of sparks. Dante stumbled back as he swapped the Demon Ring for the Angel Ring and punched it into the left slot of his Driver. [SET!] Dante turned his hand back and then forwards, making his Driver’s gate close before opening. [OPEN!] The angel magic circle was shot out from the Driver and back through him. [O-S-I-R-I-S!] Dante pulled out Osiris and spun around, using the scythe to deflect a slash from the Aethon Phantom as it came around from behind. “It’s not going to be that easy bastard!” snarled Dante. He let go with one glove and punched the Angel Ring into his Driver’s left slot. [KICK STRIKE GO!] Light blue energy covered his boots as he jumped forwards with enough force to send the Aethon Phantom stumbling backwards and into scythe range. Since Osiris was a polearm it had a mid-range but was not good at close range, for that Dante needed a bit of distance.

He punched Angel Ring into the back of Osiris’ blade. [TWO!] The scythe’s blade opened to reveal a pair of light blue circles. [ANGEL SCYTHE STRIKE!] Light blue energy started to gather around the scythe as Symbol punched the Angel Ring into his Driver’s left slot. [KICK STRIKE GO!] The energy started to get pulled off the scythe and towards Dante’s boot but with a mental command it was forced back into Osiris as Dante waited for the Aethon Phantom.

It took to the air and started to fly around Dante in a circle, picking up more and more speed until it came at him from behind! “So predictable,” muttered Dante as he spun around and spun Osiris like a vertical propeller. “Prop!” shouted Dante as the Aethon Phantom was caught by the scythe and spun around, being smashed into the ground again and again as the scythe cut into it, making sparks come from the wounds that were quickly piling up. Then Dante threw the Phantom high into the air.

Symbol saw what her brother wanted her to do and agreed. She pressed the right Shift Lever three times. [MAGIC TOUCHIE GO!] Then she scanned her right glove across the Wizard Driver’s Hand Author. [WING SNIPER MAGIC PLEASE!] Symbol flared the Flight Wings and fired three waves of blue energy from them that made sparks fly off the Aethon’s Phantom’s body even as it fell back down.

Dante then completed the other half of his attack as he spun Osiris around in the other direction. “Shredder!” cutting into the Aethon Phantom several times and making sparks fly from its body. As he did so, Dante hooked the scythe around the Aethon Phantom’s body and started to pound it into the ground over and over as the scythe spun at speeds which made it nothing but a blur.

However the second Dante stopped his attack, the Phantom leapt back to its feet and kicked him with a sidekick. “GAH!” shouted Dante in pain as sparks exploded out of his chest plate. It hurt a lot more than the last time the Aethon Phantom had kicked him as he had thinner armour than then.

“DANTE!” shouted Symbol before glaring at the Aethon Phantom in utter rage and hatred. She pressed the right Shift Lever down four times. [MAGIC TOUCHIE GO!] The Wizard Driver’s Hand Author turned to the right. [VERY NICE!] Symbol scanned her right glove across it. [WING SNIPER MAGIC!] Then she shot at the Aethon Phantom with the Flight Wings flapping. [THE BEST!] The Aethon Phantom flapped its wings and shot into at her and the two of them impacted unleashing a shockwave. Symbol shot into the air with the Phantom following as the to of them spiralled around each other.

Dante watched as the two of them separated before looping back and clashing with one another again. To any human, they would have been invisible, but Dante was able to see them clearly.

Suddenly, Symbol changed tactics, she twisted around in the middle of a clash and pulled out the Swift Dagger, slashing upwards. The Aethon Phantom’s eyes went wide as it realised what she was doing and pulled in its wings, fully intending to free fall through the air if it meant Symbol would miss her target.

But it was too late.

The Swift Dagger bit into one of its wings and quickly carved through the flesh. It cut upwards, stopping just short of the bone, but the damage had been done. The flight muscles in that wing had been severed, leaving the Phantom to drop like a stone through the air. Spinning wildly as it flapped its remaining wing to try and stay airborne, but only succeeded in making itself spin over and over through the air.

Dante saw an opening as he ran towards the point where the Phantom would impact the ground. He swapped the Angel Ring for the Nephilim Ring and punched it into the left slot of his Driver. [SET!] Dante turned his wrist back, making the Driver’s gate close. Then he turned his wrist forwards to have the Driver open its gate. [OPEN!] The nephilim magic circle appeared in front of him and he ran through it. [N-E-P-H-I-L-I-M!] Dante pulled the Rebellion Sword off his back and punched the Nephilim Ring into the bottom of the blade’s handle. [TWO!] The mouth opened to reveal a pair of red and blue circles. [NEPHILIM SABER STRIKE!] Dante then held down the trigger on the Rebellion Sword’s handle. [NEPHILIM SABER STRIKE!] Red and blue energy covered Rebellion as Dante then spun around several times, slashing the Aethon Phantom at least twenty times before lashing out with a kick that sent it flying backwards.

Symbol flew down towards the ground as she switched the Swift Ring for the Giga Ring and pressed the left Shift Lever. [MAGICAL TOUCH HENSHIN!] Then she scanned her left glove across the Wizard Driver’s Hand Author. [GIGA PLEASE!] The giga magic circle appeared under her and she passed through it. [BREAK THROUGH!] Emerging in the Giga Style, before flipped over to land on her boots, rather than her helmet.

“That was a sneaking move that you pulled up there,” commented Dante mildly as Symbol landed several paces to his right.

“Dante, you know as full well as I do that fighting a Phantom with anything that even comes close to honour is just another way of saying suicide!” shouted Symbol as she pulled out the Giga Spear. She pulled open its Hand Author. [COME ON A STAB SHAKE HANDS!] Then she scanned the Giga Ring across it. [GIGA! STAB STRIKE!] Symbol spun the Giga Spear for a few seconds as green magical energy gathered around it. “Piercing Giga!” she thrust the spear forwards and fired a beam of green magical energy at the Aethon Phantom. Only for it to slash with its claws, cutting the beam into six pieces as it ran forwards.

Symbol cut off her technique and switched the Giga Spear for the Giga axe then pulled open its Hand Author. [COME ON A SMASH SHAKE HANDS!] Before scanning the Giga Ring across it. [GIGA SMASH STRIKE!] Green mana covered the blade of the Giga Axe. “Falling Strike!” shouted Symbol as she brought the Giga Axe down, making to cut the Aethon Phantom down the middle.

Only for it to vanish into thin air!

Symbol’s visors went wide. She didn’t even have enough time to do anything before being kicked in the back of the helmet by the Aethon Phantom that had appeared behind her from thin air.

[FIVE!] Unfortunately it had forgotten that it no longer had the ability to fly and left itself valuable. [NEPHILIM SABER STRIKE!] Dante stabbed it in the gut with the Rebellion Sword. Sending the Phantom flying backwards with sparks coming from the impact point.

Dante swapped the Nephilim Ring for the Angel Ring and punched it into his Driver’s left slot. [SET!] He turned his wrist back and then forwards, making his Driver’s gate open and close. [OPEN!] The angel magic circle appeared in front of him and moved through him. [O-S-I-R-I-S!] Dante ran through it and accelerated so fast that he left speed lines. “I’ll send it your way!” he yelled. The Aethon Phantom got back to its feet and slashed at Dante, who punched the Angel Ring into the back of Osiris’s blade. [ONE!] The blade opened to reveal a single light blue circle. [ANGEL SCYTHE STRIKE!] Dante spun around slashing with the scythe, making sparks fly and stunning the Phantom.

Dante ran back several paces and punched the Angel Ring into the left slot of his Driver as he took up a running stance. [KICK STRIKE GO!] Dante was covered in light blue magic as he turned the handle of Osiris. [HOOK MODE!] Osiris transformed into the Angel Lift and Dante hooked it onto the Aethon Phantom, pulling himself at it. “Angel Boost!” He kicked the Phantom in the chest with both feet, sending out a light blue shockwave that sent it flying.

“Thank you for the gift!” shouted Symbol as she pressed the left Shift Lever once. [MAGICAL TOUCH SPELL!] Then she scanned the Giga Ring. [GIGA C RANK SPELL!] Green mana gathered around her right hand as she pressed the left Shift Lever down four more times. [MAGICAL TOUCH GO!] The Wizard Driver’s Hand Author reset. [VERY NICE!] Symbol scanned the Giga Ring. [GIGA! S RANK SPELL!] The mana around her right fist blazed with power. [THE BEST!] Symbol pulled back her fist. “Giga Fist!” then she punched forwards. He fist impacted the head of the Aethon Phantom and made sparks explode from it as its momentum as stopped and it's course reserved. Dante sidestepped as it went flying past and smashed down the barrier. Kate looked confused when it went flying back her and was embedded into the side of a car with green lightning cracking over the Aethon Phantom’s body before it exploded in a giant fireball that caused the whole street to shake.

Symbol changed the Giga Ring for the Swift Ring and pressed the left Shift Lever. [MAGICAL TOUCH HENSHIN!] Then she scanned it across the Wizard Driver’s Hand Author. [SWIFT PLEASE!] Before holding her left hand up to the air. [DASH AWAY!] The swift magic circle appeared and fell through her, transforming her into the Swift Style. Symbol then placed the Wing and Sniper Rings onto her right index and ring fingers before pressing down on the right Shift Lever. [MAGIC TOUCHIE HENSHIN!] Then she scanned both of them across the Wizard Driver’s Hand Author. [WING SNIPER PLEASE!] Symbol held her right glove into the air, making the two magic circles appear and fall through her.

“Hey! Wait for me!” shouted Dante as his sister jumped the gap. He punched the Angel Ring into the left slot of his Driver. [KICK STRIKE GO!] He jumped after Symbol as they both landed on the magic circle that Kate had painted onto the ground and were teleported back to the real world.

Later in the Order HQ

A screen displayed a large building in the shape of a spiral. “Silver Stacks towers,” explained Vergil, now back in his human form. “The world’s most powerful investment bank and who runs it?” he pressed a button and the screen displayed a man in a business suit.

Symbol, now back in her human form of Sunset Shimmer, snorted. “Sorry, she said when Vergil and Dante, who was also back in his human form, turned to look at her. “He’s bald.”

“That’s very funny, deadpanned Vergil while Dante chuckled. “He’s the CEO Kyle Ryder. A human vessel; the physical manifestation of Wiseman the Phantom King,” another image came up. “Through debt, he controls everything,” Vergil looked more and more disgusted as he explained. “To Wiseman, the Earth is a factory farm for human souls. He likes to keep his animals monitored and docile,” the images of security cameras came up. “The monitoring is done by the Raptor News Corporation. A global network of CCTV cameras, satellites and spies,” an image of newsman and a tower appeared.

Dante seemed to recognize the newsman.

A fact that Symbol noticed. “You know him?” she asked.

“He’s called Bob Barbas and bashes me every. Single. Day. On his TV show!” hissed out Dante.

“Can’t wait to meet him-”

Dante looked at Sunset in shock.

“-so I can introduce him to my friend the Active Blade!” snarled Sunset.

“You two done?” asked Vergil with a raised eyebrow.

“Yeah / Sorry,” came the replies from male and female.

Vergil continued his explanation. “The way he keeps us docile is a little more insidious,” he explained.

“What is it?” asked Dante as he took a sip from a drink can. Suddenly, it was knocked out of his hand. “SUNSET! What the hell?!” he demanded.

“Sorry,” apologised Sunset, even though she did not sound sorry at all, just defensive. “Something about that thing just screamed wrong to be!”

“Sunset’s right,” but in Vergil. “The way Wiseman keeps us docile was just in your hand,” he explained. At the confused looks he got, Vergil continued. “Planet Earth’s most popular soft drink; Virility. The Phantom’s have spiked it.”

Dante hurled and spat into a trash can.

Vergil chuckled. “Don’t worry, it has no effect on us, only humans.”

Dante still got his revenge by kicking the soft drink can into the same trash can he had spit into.

“It’s lobotomy in a can,” finished Vergil.

Sunset raised an eyebrow. “You planned that,” she stated simply.

“I have no idea what you're talking about,” denied Vergil.

“You waited until Dante had a drink before explaining what it was,” explained Sunset.

“Yes, I did as revenge for that last prank Dante pulled on me a day before the Phantom’s came,” explained Vergil.

After Sunset had got through convincing Dante that yes they did need Vergil alive and no strangling him barehanded would not be a good idea he asked. “So what’s the plan?”

Vergil brought up an image of a giant man and several smaller people. Above them was a giant spiral of energy that projected power into the giant man. “That’s the Gate Portal. It’s a conduit from what Wiseman draws his power. While he’s connected to the Gate Portal, he’s immortal,” explained Vergil.

“I’m not liking the sound of this,” muttered Sunset.

“It’s how he beat Sparda and Eva, without its power boost or the immortality he gets from the Gate Portal either could have beaten him in their sleep. But if we can get him away from the Gate Portal then our Driver’s will do the rest,” finished Vergil.

“So how do we do that?” asked Dante.

“We get his attention. Despite his name, Wiseman is impulsive and petty. If we hit him where it hurts, let his anger rule him, I believe that we can draw him out,” Vergil explained his plan to his siblings.

“So we have to get a being that could kill the strongest Arc Iron Maiden and banish the most powerful Phantom mad at us? How is that a good plan?!” demanded Sunset in shock at what Vergil thought was a good plan.

“If you have a better idea that is more likely to work then I would love to hear it!” retorted Vergil.

This time it was Dante that stopped the fight before it could start. “Ok, so to drag Wiseman away from the Gate Portal we need to draw him out. We do that by pissing him off?” he clarified.

“Yes,” clarified Vergil.

“And we piss him off by taking out the Raptor News Network and Virility” Dante further prodded.

“That’s not how I’d put it be roughly speaking yes,” replied Vergil.

“I thought it was a great summary,” chirped Sunset.

Vergil glowered at her.

“So, which one do you want to do first?” was Dante’s simple question that Sunset agreed with.
> S1E5 Underwatch
> --------------------------------------------------------------------------

A camera was seen watching a street that was nearly abandoned with only a few people on it.

Three of those people were Dante, Sunset and Kate, all of them could clearly remember what Vergil had said to them before they left. “They’re aware of you now Dante and that Sunset is still alive. So stay low, both of you! Wiseman doesn’t know I exist so I’ll remain hidden until the time is right when we’re ready to strike,” he had explained.

“Doesn’t that mean that Dante and I have to do all the heavy lifting?!” demanded Sunset.

“Unfortunately yes,” Vergil had deadpanned. “Kate will be your guide. She’s been in the Virility Factory before so she knows her way around it and what lies beneath it.”

Dante walked past an overweight man who raised a can of Virility towards his mouth to take a drink. Dante quickly knocked it out of the man’s hand with an upwards swing. “It’ll kill ya!” he justified.

"Don’t draw attention!” hissed out Kate as the man glared at Dante’s back.

Too late.

One of the camera’s locked onto Dante. “DAAAANNNTTEEE!” then it looked around and saw Sunset. “SSSSSSSSUUUUUUUUUUNNNNNNNNSSSSSSSSSEEEEEEETTTTTTTTT!!!!” the camera transformed into a blood red demonic eyeball on a brown stalk.

Dante and Sunset looked up as the world started to shift around them. The clouds started to move extremely fast as the buildings moved closer to each other, bending in ways that physical didn’t allow.

As a giant iron gate closed behind them Dante rolled his eyes. “Oh come on!” he shouted.

“This was all your fault you know,” Sunset pointed out as she held her Driver On Ring over her belt buckle. [DRIVER ON PLEASE!] A magical circle appeared in front of the buckle as it grew out into the Wizard Driver.

Dante slumped. “Yeah know that!” he held his Driver On Ring over his buckle. [DRIVE ON!] A magic circle appeared in front of it as it grew out into his Driver.

Sunset pressed down on the left Shift Lever. [MAGICAL TOUCH HENSHIN!] The Wizard Driver’s Hand Author turned to the left before she scanned the Active Ring across it. [ACTIVE PLEASE!] Sunset held her left hand out to the side. “HENSHIN!” she shouted. [LET’S GO!] The active magic circle appeared to her left and moved through her, transforming Sunset into Kamen Rider Symbol Active Style.

“Henshin!” Dante punched the Nephilim Ring into his Driver’s left slot. [SET!] Dante twisted his wrist forwards, making the Driver’s gate spring open. [OPEN!] The nephilim magic circle was projected out and passed back through Dante. [N-E-P-H-I-L-I-M!] Transforming him into Kamen Rider Dante Nephilim Style.

Kate looked around for several seconds before she found what she was looking for. “That camera spotted you,” she pointed up to it. “They must have been looking for you!”

“As Vergil warned us,” Symbol glared at Dante.

“In what world is that a camera?” asked Dante as he ignored the glares he was getting with long practiced ease.

Kate ignored him. “You’ll have to take it out!”

“We know that and here comes trouble,” muttered Symbol.

Blade Phantom’s burst from the ground. They were identical to the Lesser Blade Phantoms, but had bigger horns, more armour and were armed with a katana that was longer than the tanto’s used by Lesser Blade Phantoms.

“Shit! I’m not safe here!” Kate swore in alarm.

“Then go,” ordered Dante, getting Kate to look at him.

“We’ve got this!” shouted Symbol as she ran forwards, drawing the Active Blade as she went.

Dante ran after his sister.

Kate watched them go before nodding in acceptance as she ran off, fading out of the Slip Dimension.

Symbol pulled open the Active Blade’s Hand Author. [COME ON A SLASH SHAKE HANDS!] Then she scanned her left glove across it. [ACTIVE! SLASH STRIKE!] Red lightning crackled around the blade. “Red Slash!” Symbol slashed it down, firing a crescent of red lightning that struck one of the Blade Phantoms and caused it to spark for a second before it exploded.

She then jumped into the air, avoiding a slash from another Blade Phantom that would have cut through her waist. While in the air Symbol slid the Boost and Defend Rings onto her right index and ring fingers before pressing the right Shift Lever. [MAGIC TOUCHIE HENSHIN!] Then she scanned her right glove across the Wizard Driver’s Hand Author. [BOOST DEFEND PLEASE!] The two magic circles appeared to her right and moved through her as Symbol pressed the right Shift Lever three times. [MAGIC TOUCHIE GO!] Then she scanned her right glove. [BOOST DEFEND MAGIC PLEASE!] Symbol threw the Defend Shield which transformed into an energy construct of a grey kite shield trapping the Blade Phantom. Then she pressed the right Shift Lever four times. [MAGIC TOUCHIE GO!] The Hand Author reset. [VERY NICE!] Symbol scanned her right glove. [BOOST DEFEND MAGIC!] She was covered in purple and grey mana. [THE BEST!] Then she went shooting down as the energy covered her right boot. “Falling Kick!” shouted Symbol as her boot made contact. She appeared behind the Blade Phantom which sparked as she caught the Defend Shield and the Phantom exploded.

Symbol then zoomed forwards as she pressed the left Shift Lever twice. [MAGICAL TOUCH GO!] Then she scanned the Active Ring. [ACTIVE! B RANK SPELL!] Red lightning covered her right arm as she used it to block a pair of slashes from a Blade Phantom punched it in the face at the first chance she got. The Phantom staggered backwards as red lightning crackled over it giving Symbol enough time to press the left Shift Lever four times. [MAGICAL TOUCH GO!] The Wizard Driver’s Hand Author reset. [VERY NICE!] Symbol scanned her left glove across it. [ACTIVE! S RANK SPELL!] Red lightning covered her body before being pulled into Symbol’s right arm and forming into the shape of a blade. [THE BEST!] Symbol ran forwards as the lightning roared. “Thunder Rage!” she punched forwards as the recovered Blade Phantom brought up its sword to block. Only for the blade to shatter and the lightning covered fist to pierce through its chest. Symbol pulled her arm out then turned to walk away as the Blade Phantom exploded.

Symbol then saw two Blade Phantom’s charging at her and switched the Active Ring for the Giga Ring before pressing down on the left Shift Lever. [MAGICAL TOUCH HENSHIN!] Then she scanned the Giga Ring across the Wizard Driver’s Hand Author. [GIGA PLEASE!] Symbol held her left glove down to the ground and the giga magic circle appeared. [BREAK THROUGH!] It rose up through her and transformed Symbol into the Giga Style. She used the Giga Axe to knock a blow from one Blade Phantom away, then rammed the base of the polearm into the creature and sent it flying backwards with sparks coming from the impact point. Symbol pressed the left Shift Lever twice. [MAGICAL TOUCH SPELL!] Before scanning the Giga Ring. [GIGA B RANK SPELL!] Her right glove was covered in green mana as Symbol hit the left Shift Lever four more times. [MAGICAL TOUCH GO!] The Wizard Driver’s Hand Author reset. [VERY NICE!] Symbol scanned her left glove. [GIGA! S RANK SPELL!] The mana around her right arm blazed. [THE BEST!] Symbol pulled back her fist and slammed it into the ground. “Giga Smash!” from her fist came a pair of green energy waves that tore through the ground and flung rubble into the two Blade Phantoms. Sparks flew as the energized stones smashed into both of the Phantom’s before they exploded.

Then Symbol saw several Icarus Phantom’s appear in the air above her with their crossbow’s armed and ready. “That won’t work!” Symbol pressed the left Shift Lever as she donned the Burst Ring. [MAGICAL TOUCH HENSHIN!] Then she scanned her left glove. [BURST PLEASE!] The burst magical circle appeared behind her and Symbol backflipped through it transforming into her Burst Style as the circle blocked several bolts. [CAST THE SPELL!] Symbol pulled out the Burst Wand and fired several energy blasts before pulling open its Hand Author. [COME ON A CAST SHAKE HANDS!] Then she scanned the Burst Ring. [BURST! CAST STRIKE!] Purple mana started to collect on the tip of the Burst Wand. “Burst Beam!” shouted Symbol as the energy was fired in the form of a pillar sized beam that made five of the Icarus Phantom’s explode.

Symbol then added the Dust and Mirror rings to her right index and ring fingers before pressing the right Shift Lever. [MAGIC TOUCHIE HENSHIN!] Then she scanned her right glove. [DUST MIRROR PLEASE!] The two magic circles appeared behind her and moved through her. Symbol waved her hand and the dust particles around the Icarus Phantom started to explode making sparks fly from their bodies. Symbol then pressed the right Shift Lever again. [MAGIC TOUCHIE GO!] Then she scanned her right glove. [DUST MAGIC PLEASE!] The dust particles in the air around the Icarus Phantom’s exploded with much more force, making micro explosions appear around three of them.

Seeing her opening, Symbol pressed the right Shift Lever down four more times. [MAGIC TOUCHIE GO!] The Wizard Driver’s Hand Author reset. [VERY NICE!] Symbol scanned the rings on her right glove. [DUST MIRROR MAGIC!] Symbol then waved her left glove as it was covered in brown mana. [THE BEST!] The dust particles in the air started swirling inwards, forming into a storm of dust explosions around the Icarus Phantom. “Dust Storm!” sparks flew as the damage from a thousand tiny blades started to pile up before the airborne Phantom’s exploded.

Sparks came of Symbol’s back as an explosion erupted from the ground behind her. “GAH!” she spun around and looked up to see that several Valkyrie Phantom’s had joined the Icarus Phantoms. “Time to join these things in the air!” she switched the Burst Ring for the Swift Ring and pressed the left Shift Lever. [MAGICAL TOUCH HENSHIN!] Then she scanned her left glove across the Wizard Driver’s Hand Author. [SWIFT PLEASE!] Symbol held her left glove up to the sky, making the swift magic circle appear and fall through her. [DASH AWAY!] Symbol was just about to materialize the Wing and Sniper Rings but then saw several bombs and bolts coming towards her. Cursing under her breath Symbol pressed the left Shift Lever three times. [MAGICAL TOUCH GO!] Before scanning the Swift Ring. [SWIFT! A RANK SPELL!] She pointed to fingers forwards and fired a barrage of yellow energy bolts that deflected several of the projectiles.

With a bit of breathing room Symbol slid the Wing and Sniper Rings onto her right ring and index fingers before pressing the right Shift Lever. [MAGIC TOUCHIE HENSHIN!] Then she scanned her right glove across the Wizard Driver’s Hand Author. [WING SNIPER PLEASE!] Symbol held her right glove to the sky and the two magic circles appeared above her helmet before dropping down through her. Symbol spread the Flight Wings and took to the sky as she hit the right Shift Lever. [MAGIC TOUCHIE GO!] Then she spun to the side, avoiding another three bombs as she scanned her right glove. [WING MAGIC PLEASE!] Silver light ran up the Fight Wings as she started flying through the swarm, cutting them to pieces as she did so.

Seeing that there was still plenty left, Symbol pressed the right Shift Lever four times. [MAGIC TOUCHIE GO!] The Wizard Driver’s Hand Author reset. [VERY NICE!] Symbol scanned her right glove across it. [WING SNIPER MAGIC!] Silver light covered the Flight Wings as Symbol flew upwards out of the swarm. [THE BEST!] The silver light left trails of silver as it surged around the Flight Wings. “Wing Cutter!” shouted Symbol as she flew back down and unleashed a pair of slashes from each of the Flight Wings. Sparks flew from the Phantom’s as they were all cut through from the power of the move. Symbol turned and landed back on the ground as each of the Phantom’s erupted in a giant explosion which destroyed them.

While his sister moved to fight the smaller Phantom’s, Dante moved to engaged the Death Knights in the area.

He almost laughed when a single Lesser Blade Phantom charged at him. Dante punched the Nephilim Ring into the back of the Rebellion Blade. [TWO!] Making the mouth open to reveal a pair of red and blue circles. [NEPHILIM SABER STRIKE!] Dante then punched the Nephilim Ring into the left slot of his Driver. [GO! KICK STRIKE!] The red and blue energy that had been building up around the Rebellion Blade was pulled into Dante’s right boot and grew in power. “Death Coil!” shouted Dante as the Lesser Blade Phantom got into kicking range. Dante spun like a top, hitting the Lesser Blade Phantom with several roundhouse kicks from his charged boot before ending with a single downwards kick that slammed the Lesser Blade Phantom into the ground, cracking the concrete.

Dante walked passed the Lesser Blade Phantom as it exploded behind him. Silhouetting Kamen Rider Dante in the flames.

As Dante approached the Death Knights he looked down at the Rebellion blade and knew that it would be less than useless against their shields. “Sorry Dad,” he muttered as he changed the Nephilim Ring for the Demon Ring and punched it into the left slot on his Driver. [SET!] Then he turned his wrist backwards, making the Driver’s gate close, before turning it forwards and making the Driver’s gate open. [OPEN!] The demon magic circle appeared from it and moved back through him, transforming Dante into the Demon Style. [A-R-B-I-T-E-R!] Dante pulled Arbiter off his back and punched the Demon Ring into the back of it’s blade. [ONE!] The blade opened to reveal a single red circle. [DEMON AXE STRIKE!] Red energy gathered around Arbiter before Dante swung the axe down, making the red energy form into a construct of a spinning axe blade that slammed into the shield of one Death Knight Phantom and made it fall over as the thing lost balance.

Dante then approached a second Death Knight Phantom as he pressed the Demon Ring into the back of Arbiter’s blade. [THREE!] Which opened to reveal another two red circles. [DEMON AXE STRIKE!] Dante slammed Arbiter down once, shattering the Death Knight Phantom’s shield. A second and third swing had sparks and micro explosions coming off the Death Knight Phantom. Dante then punched the Demon Ring into the left slot on his Driver. [GO! KICK STRIKE!] The red energy that had been gathering around Arbiter's blade grew in power as it was pulled into Dante’s right boot. “Judgment!” he spun around as kicked the Death Knight Phantom in the chin with the red energy forming into a pair of after images. They were perfectly solid which was proven as they hit the Death Knight Phantom. Dante completed his spin and the delay on the damage was lifted, as was the Death Knight Phantom as it was sent flying into the air and exploded.

Dante jumped back from a downwards swing and punched the Demon Ring into the back of Arbiter's blade. [THREE!] Which opened to reveal three red circles. [DEMON AXE STRIKE!] Red energy started to gather around Arbiter as Dante reached up and pulled a trigger that was hidden on Arbiter’s shaft. [DEMON AXE STRIKE!] The red energy around Arbiter surged in power as it gained streaks of black. Within the energy, a pair of demonic red eyes flashed. “Judgment!” roared Dante as he ran forwards and brought the axe type weapon down towards the head of a Death Knight Phantom. It held up its shield however Arbiter smashed through it without slowing for even a second. There was a grinding noise as Arbiter cut down the Death Knight Phantom leaving a glowing red gash. Lightning sparked across the Death Knight Phantom’s body as sparks exploded from the gash until the Phantom exploded.

Suddenly, Dante was slashed across the chest plate by another two Death Knight Phantom’s that came at him from either side. “ARGH!” sparks flew from his chest plate as the blades slashed an X into it. Dante quickly recovered and punched the Demon Ring into the back of Arbiter’s blade. [FOUR!] Which opened to reveal one extra red circle. [DEMON AXE STRIKE!] Red energy started to gather around Arbiter's blade and only increased when he pulled the trigger. [DEMON AXE STRIKE!] Dante brought Arbiter back and slammed it down onto the ground. Arbiter unleashed nine pluses of red energy. The first three tore through the shields of both Death Knight Phantoms. The second three make sparks come off their bodies, wave seven and eight made micro explosions go off around the Death Knight Phantom’s and the final pulse made them explode.

Suddenly, Dante was slashed across the back plate making sparks explode from it. “ARGH!” Dante jumped into the air to avoid the follow-up swing and landed on the ground several paces away. He turned Arbiter’s handle. [GRAPPLE MODE!] Transforming the axe into the Demon Pull. He used it to rob the final Death Knight Phantom of its shield and then turned the handle again. [AXE MODE!]

As the Demon Pull transformed back into Arbiter Dante ran forwards and punched the Demon Ring into the back of the axe’s blade. [FIVE!] Which then opened to reveal five red circles. [DEMON AXE STRIKE!] Dante jumped into the air as he punched the Demon Ring into the left slot of his Driver. [GO! KICK STRIKE!] Dante’s right boot was covered in red energy as he dropped down from the sky. “Drop!” his boot slammed into the Death Knight Phantom in an explosion of sparks. Dante backflipped away using the sparking Death Knight Phantom as a springboard before it exploded.

“Well, that's that over,” stated Dante.

Then a Ravager Phantom burst from the ground.

“I really need to learn when to keep my mouth shut!” snarled Dante as he swapped the Demon Ring for the Angel Ring and punched it into his Driver’s left slot. [SET!] Dante turned his wrist back making the Driver’s gate close. Then he turned it forwards, making the Driver’s gate spring open. [OPEN!] The angel magic circle shot out and then back into Dante. [O-S-I-R-I-S!] Transforming him into the Angel Style. Dante ran towards the Ravager Phantom and punched the Angel Ring into the back of Osiris’ blade. [ONE!] Which opened to reveal a single light blue circle. [ANGEL SCYTHE STRIKE!] Dante started to spin the scythe slashing at the Phantom with blinding fast swings.

The Ravager tried to block with its chainsaw but had no success. Dante now knew that the Ravager Phantom’s were unable to block attacks coming at them from both sides. This was why he was using Osiris, it’s blinding fast speed meant that as soon as the Ravager Phantom made to block an attack from one side, Dante attacked the other side making sparks fly off the Phantom.

Then Dante punched the Angel Ring into the back of Osiris’ blade. [TWO!] The blade opened to reveal a pair of light blue circles. [ANGEL SCYTHE STRIKE!] Dante then pulled the trigger that was hidden on the bottom of Osiris’ handle. [ANGEL SCYTHE STRIKE!] Light blue energy covered the blade and built up to the point it was hidden from view. “Prop!” shouted Dante as he spun Osiris, slashing the Ravager Phantom over and over making a storm of sparks fill the air. “Shredder!” shouted Dante as he reversed his attack, spinning the scythe the other way which smashed the Ravager Phantom down into the ground.

For a second he thought it was over, but then the Ravager Phantom was able to get back to its feet, even though it was bleeding sparks from the number of glowing blue gashes. For a second Dante was confused, then he remembered the Osiris was made for taking care of groups of weak Phantom’s with fast sweeping strikes. For Osiris to finish off a Phantom of this level it would need a second strike. Dante pulled the trigger. [ANGEL SCYTHE STRIKE!] He spun Osiris for a second as light blue energy was pulled from the air and into the blade before he tore the scythe upwards through the ground, sending a light blue glowing crescent of energy that tore a glowing blue gash into the Ravager Phantom and caused it to explode.

“Now to deal with that camera,” muttered Dante.

“We’re gonna get up there and rip you apart!” shouted Symbol as she came shooting down from the air towards the camera, only for several red lightning bolts to lash out from it and form into a barrier. “ARGH!” shrieked Symbol as the lightning made sparks fly from her armour.

“SUNSET!” shouted Dante as his sister managed to pry herself off the barrier and fell down through the air as her Wing Sniper Style vanished, converting her back to Swift Style. He ran forwards and was able to catch her just before she hit the ground. “You ok?” he asked.

“At the moment?” Symbol tried to get up but fell back down as her armour sparked. “No, but I’ll be fine in a few minutes,” she muttered.

“I’ll take care of the camera while you rest,” stated Dante. He ran around down a street on the left side of the main street. Suddenly, the ledge that he had been planning on jumping too was pulled back into the building. “And once more the Slip Dimension proves what an asshole it is,” muttered Dante as he switched the Angel Ring for the Demon Ring and punched it into his Driver’s left slot. [SET!] He turned his wrist backwards, making his Driver’s gate close before turning it forwards to make his Driver’s gate open. [OPEN!] The demon magic circle appeared from his Driver and moved back through Dante transforming him into the Demon Style. [A-R-B-I-T-E-R!] Dante took Arbiter off his back before turning the handle. [GRAPPLE MODE!] Arbiter transformed into the Demon Pull and Dante latched it onto the ledge. “Out you come!” he growled as he pulled the ledge back out of the building.

Dante then switched the Demon Ring for the Angel Ring and punched it into the left slot of his Driver. [SET!] [OPEN!] [O-S-I-R-I-S!] He turned Osiris’ handle. [HOOK MODE!] Making it transform into the Angel Lift. Dante hooked it onto the platform and pulled himself up before hopping across to the next platform. He was about to switch form, but found that he did not need to do so.

While Dante had been doing this, Symbol had recovered and traced the path he would have to take. She switched the Swift Ring for the Active Ring and pressed down on the left Shift Lever. [MAGICAL TOUCH HENSHIN!] She scanned her left glove. [ACTIVE PLEASE!] Then held it out to the side making the active magic circle appear and move through her. [LET’S GO!] She slid the Ice and Bind Rings onto her right index and ring fingers before pressing the right Shift Lever. [MAGIC TOUCHIE HENSHIN!] Then she scanned the Ice and Bind Rings. [ICE BIND PLEASE!] She held her right glove out to the side making the ice and bind magic circle appear, then pass through her before pressing the right Shift Lever. [MAGIC TOUCHIE GO!] Symbol scanned her right glove. [BIND MAGIC PLEASE!] Orange energy gathered around the Grapple Gauntlet before she fired a chain of orange energy that she used to pull the platform out of the building before wincing as the top half came down. “I hope whoever lives their had good home insurance,” muttered Symbol.

“Thanks!” shouted Dante as he used the Angel Lift to get over the gap and turned towards the camera. He switched the Angel Ring for the Demon Ring and punched it into his Driver’s left slot. [SET!] [OPEN!] [A-R-B-I-T-E-R!] Dante took Arbiter off his back plate and turned the handle. [GRAPPLE MODE!] It transformed into the Demon Pull that Dante hooked onto the camera eye. With a second he ripped the eye from its socket.

“That is one of the most disgusting things I have ever seen,” muttered Symbol as she watched this.

“Hey! Snake-eye!” shouted Dante as he spun around and kicked the eye into a wall.

With the camera gone, the barrier that was keeping them trapped in the area vanished.

Dante jumped down and joined Symbol as they ran through the archway where the barrier had been.

All of a sudden the ground rose up and then dropped back down, forming a giant hole in the middle of the road.

“Woah! Someone doesn't want us here!” muttered Dante, then something clicked. “Wonder what's happening in the real world,” muttered Dante. Everything that took place in the Slip Dimension translated into the real world, so what did a giant hole opening in the middle of the street cause?

Symbol knelt down at the edge of the hole and felt something. “It’s too long to cross with my Flight Wings or your Angel Boost with the Slip Dimension increasing the gravity. There’s no solid place to anchor a chain, the Demon Pull or the Angel Lift!” she growled in frustration.

“Then what do we do now?” asked Dante.

Kate appeared. “The city itself is trying to stop you!” she explained.

“Great as if we didn’t have enough on our plate!” growled out Symbol.

“I like a challenge,” muttered Dante early.

Kate looked around. “Vergil sent me the camera locations for this area. Best avoid me if we can.”

“When did he do that?” asked Symbol.

“While you were fighting for your lives,” replied Kate with ease.

“...The fact that you can say that so casually says so much about our lives,” grumbled Symbol.

Kate ignored her as she ran down a flight of stairs and across a hole in the road as if it was not there. Which, in the real world, it wasn’t.

“That answers my question,” Dante switched the Demon Ring for the Angel Ring and punched it into the left slot of his Driver. [SET!] [OPEN!] [O-S-I-R-I-S!] Then he punched the Angel Ring into his Driver’s left slot once more. [KICK STRIKE GO!] He grabbed Symbol around the waist and jumped into the air. “Angel Boost!” Dante kicked the air behind him and rocketed forwards, leaving a trail of light blue wind behind him as he landed on the ground on the other side of the hole.

“Thanks,” said Symbol as he let her down.

“No problem,” replied Dante as they walked forwards, right into a Phantom ambush.

“I take back my thank you,” stated Symbol dry as they both got ready to fight.

“Jerk,” muttered Dante.

In the air several Icarus Phantom’s appeared to join the assault, only these ones were armed with shields on the arms that were not taken up by their crossbows. These are the Shielded Icarus Phantoms.

“Great,” muttered Symbol. “This just got a lot harder!”

“It’s not that bad!” protested Dante.

“How is it not that bad?!” demanded Symbol.

Dante opened his mouth, but then realised he had nothing to counter that. “Just start fighting!” he growled. Dante ran forwards and punched the Angel Ring into the back of Osiris’ blade. [ONE!] Which opened to reveal a single light blue circle. [ANGEL SCYTHE STRIKE!] Dante started to swing Osiris at the Lesser Blade Phantom’s. He spun the scythe around his body like it was a hula hoop making light blue cuts appear in the Phantoms from which bleed streams of sparks.

Seeing a micro explosion go off around one of them Dante held down Osiris’ trigger. [ANGEL SCYTHE STRIKE!] Light blue energy was pulled from the air and into the blade. “Karma!” shouted Dante as he slashed around in a circle. Osiris generated light blue wind that cut through the five Lesser Blade Phantom’s leaving a glowing light blue gash in each of them before they all sparked and fell to their knees before they exploded.

Dante then had to jump back as several bolts impacted the ground where he had just been standing. Looking up at the Shielded Icarus Phantom Dante turned Osiris’ handle. [HOOK MODE!] It transformed into the Angel Lift as Dante hooked it onto the Phantom and pulled himself into the air so that he was level with it. He turned the handle once again. [SCYTHE MODE!] As the Angel Lift transformed back into Osiris Dante punched his Angel Ring into the back of Osiris’ blade. [ONE!] Which then snapped open to reveal a single light blue circle. [ANGEL SCYTHE STRIKE!] Dante swung Osiris and after several dozen swings, that took place in less than five seconds, the shield was destroyed leaving the Icarus Phantom to whether the rest of the assault. After a few second a micro explosion detonated and Dante punched the Angel Ring into the left slot on his Driver. [KICK STRIKE GO!] Dante spun around as light blue wind wrapped around his right boot and he kicked out. “Hanger!” his boot made contact and the wind around it sliced away at the Phantom until it was consumed by an explosion.

Dante landed back on the ground and was instantly attacked by another group of Lesser Blade Phantoms. He slashed around with Osiris, warding them back as the blade of the scythe cut harshly into their bodies. Dante saw one of them was charging up and attack and punched the Angel Ring into the back of Osiris’ blade. [SIX!] This time it opened to reveal not one, but six light blue circles. [ANGEL SCYTHE STRIKE!] Dante ran forwards as he spun around the thrust the light blue scythe forwards so that its blade rammed into the Lesser Blade Phantom lengthwise. As the Phantom staggered backwards Dante pulled down on Osiris’ trigger. [ANGEL SCYTHE STRIKE!] Light blue wind wrapped around Osiris as Dante sprinted forwards and rammed the scythe forwards again. “Streak!” he moved so fast that he left a light blue speed line. Osiris cut into the Lesser Blade Phantom, leaving a glowing light blue gash that sparked before the Phantom fell over and exploded.

Dante turned around and saw the other three Lesser Blade Phantom’s running at him. He switched the Angel Ring for the Nephilim Ring and punched it into the left slot of his Driver. [SET!] [OPEN!] [N-E-P-H-I-L-I-M!] Dante drew the Rebellion Sword from his back plate and punched the Nephilim Ring into the slot at the base of its hilt. [TWO!] Dante sprinted forwards as the sword’s mouth opened to reveal a pair of red and blue coloured circles. [NEPHILIM SABER STRIKE!] Dante then spun around several times, hitting all three of the Lesser Blade Phantoms with several slashes before ending on a single, hard, downwards diagonal slash that cut into one of the Lesser Blade Phantoms.

Seeing a micro explosion go off around it, Dante pressed down on the Rebellion Blade’s trigger. [NEPHILIM SABER STRIKE!] The eyes of the blade flashed as red and blue energy was charged into it before he ran forwards. “Death Coil!” he did several more spinning slashes that caused the Lesser Blade Phantom to explode while damaging the other two. Dante ended the command with a strong downwards slash that cut the second Lesser Blade Phantom in half before it exploded.

And then there was one.

Dante turned to the final Lesser Blade Phantom as he pressed down on the Rebellion Blade’s trigger once more. [NEPHILIM SABER STRIKE!] Dante flipped the Rebellion Blade into a reserve handed grip and started to charge red along with blue energy into it. “Drive!” bellowed Dante as he slashed, sending a crescent of mixed energy that slammed into the Lesser Blade Phantom and caused it to explode.

Just when Dante thought it was over, five Blade Phantom’s burst from the ground.

“I hate the Slip Dimension!” growled out Dante as he swapped the Nephilim Ring for the Demon Ring and punched it into the left slot on his Driver. [SET!] [OPEN!] [A-R-B-I-T-E-R!] Dante then grabbed Arbiter from his back and punched the Demon Ring into the back of its blade. [ONE!] The blade opened to reveal a single red circle. [DEMON AXE STRIKE!] Dante swung Arbiter around as red energy gathered around it before he swung down, firing a spinning energy construct of an axe head at the first Blade Phantom. It blocked with its sword which proved to be a mistake as cracks spread through the weapon before it shattered dispelling the attack in the process.

“Time to end you!” shouted Dante as he held down Arbiter’s trigger. [DEMON AXE STRIKE!] Dante let energy gather around Arbiter before he slammed the axe down. The energy was fired off into a construct of a spinning axe head that was much more powerful than the last one as seen by the spiral of energy that it gave off as it spun. The axe head slammed into the Blade Phantom that did not have a blade anymore and caused it to explode.

Dante used the shaft of Arbiter to block an attack from another Blade Phantom and punched his Demon Ring into the back of its blade. [TWO!] The blade opened to reveal a pair of red circles. [DEMON AXE STRIKE!] Dante forced the Blade Phantom off and slammed Arbiter into the ground making a pair of red energy lines tear out of it and throw not only the Blade Phantom he was fighting into the air but another Blade Phantom along with it. Dante then held down on Arbiter’s trigger. [DEMON AXE STRIKE!] He spun Arbiter for a few seconds as red energy gathered around its blade and slammed the axe into the ground. “Tremor!” out of the concrete tore a giant pillar of red energy that slammed into the two Phantom’s and both of them exploded.

With only two Blade Phantom’s left Dante punched the Demon Ring into the back of Arbiter’s blade one last time. [THREE!] The blade opened to reveal three red circles. [DEMON AXE STRIKE!] Dante swung Arbiter around in a wide arc, making sparks fly from both of the Blade Phantom’s as the axe’s blade cut into them. An upwards diagonal swing them made more sparks fly off the first Blade Phantom and a heavy downwards swing got more sparks to come off the second Blade Phantom. Dante then held down of Arbiter’s trigger. [DEMON AXE STRIKE!] Red energy was pulled from the air and into the blade of the red axe. The energy grew so thick that it was hiding the Arbiter from the view of its weidler and the Phantoms. “Judgement!” roared out Dante as he swung Arbiter into the three hit combo as he had done before, but this time the red energy formed a construct of Arbiter which followed behind the real axe doubling the damage. One of the Blade Phantoms was able to jump back and avoid getting hit by Arbiter, only for the construct to hit it. After all three hits, they both exploded.

Meanwhile, Symbol had been fighting just as hard as her brother.

She dodged several bolts from the Icarus Phantoms then fired several bullets with the Active Rifle only for them to bounce off its shield. “I’m gonna need something a bit stronger to break that shield!” Symbol switched the Active Ring for the Giga Ring and pressed the left Shift Lever. [MAGICAL TOUCH HENSHIN!] Then she scanned her left glove across the Wizard Driver’s Hand Author. [GIGA PLEASE!] Symbol held her glove down to the ground. [BREAK THROUGH!] The Giga Magic circle appeared under her boots and rose up through her, blocking several crossbow bolts. Symbol grabbed the Giga Spear as it appeared and pulled open its Hand Author. [COME ON A STAB SHAKE HANDS!] Then she scanned the Giga Ring across it. [GIGA! STAB STRIKE!] Symbol spun the Giga Spear around as it generated green mana before thrusting it forwards. “Piercing Giga!” she fired a beam of green mana that smashed into one Shielded Icarus Phantom and smashed through its shield before causing the Phantom to explode.

However, as she had been charging her attack, Symbol had been hit by over two dozen crossbow bolts from the other Shielded Icarus Phantoms. Alone, they were not much but the amount was starting to add up.

“Ok then, let’s try something a bit faster!” Symbol removed the Giga Ring and replaced it with the Swift Ring, she pressed the left Shift Lever. [MAGICAL TOUCH HENSHIN!] Symbol scanned the Swift Ring. [SWIFT PLEASE!] She held her left glove into the air and the swift magic circle appeared, blocking several bolts, before dropping through her. [DASH AWAY!] Symbol grabbed the Swift Blaster and pulled open its Hand Author. [COME ON A BLAST SHAKE HANDS!] Then she scanned the Swift Ring across it. [SWIFT! BLASTER STRIKE!] Five rings of yellow energy gathered around the Swift Blaster. “Bullet Barrage!” the rings were pulled in and fired out as over fifty bullets of yellow energy. The bullets hit several of the Shielded Icarus Phantoms but only succeeded in cracking the shields.

“Ok, now I need a bit more power, Burst style it is,” Symbol paused and nearly got hit by several bolts as she stopped dodging. “Why hell didn’t I think of that sooner?!” she smacked her forehead guard in anger at herself. Symbol switched the Swift Ring for the Burst Ring and pressed the left Shift Lever. [MAGICAL TOUCH HENSHIN!] Then she scanned the Burst Ring across the Wizard Driver’s Hand Author. [BURST PLEASE!] She held her left glove out to the side with the Burst Ring facing backwards and the burst magic circle appeared behind her. [CAST THE SPELL!] Then it moved through Symbol, transforming her into the Burst Style. Symbol then pressed down on the left Shift Lever once. [MAGICAL TOUCH GO!] Before scanning the Burst Ring. [BURST! C RANK SPELL!] Flames ignited in the air and turned into four fireballs that shot forwards and detonated, destroy four shields.

“Yes!” shouted Symbol as she saw that she was making some headway. She pressed the left Shift Lever four times. [MAGICAL TOUCH GO!] The Wizard Driver’s Hand Author reset. [VERY NICE!] Symbol scanned the Burst Ring across it. [BURST! S RANK SPELL!] Sparks appeared in the air. [THE BEST!] Before they ignited into flames that condensed into ten white hot fireballs. “Fire Swarm!” yelled Symbol as the fireballs shot forwards and exploded, destroying ten of the Icarus Phantom’s in mighty explosions of heat and red flames.

Suddenly, sparks flew from Symbol’s body as she was pelted with a mass of crossbow bolts. When the smoke cleared it was revealed that there were now even more Shielded Icarus Phantom’s than there were before!

Then Symbol slid the Dust and Mirror Rings onto her right index and ring fingers before pressing the right Shift Lever. [MAGIC TOUCHIE HENSHIN!] Symbol scanned the Dust and Mirror Rings across the Wizard Driver’s Hand Author. [DUST MIRROR PLEASE!] She held her right glove out to the side with the two rings facing backwards, the dust and mirror magic circles appeared behind her and passed through her, transforming Symbol into the Burst Dust Mirror Style. Symbol pressed the right Shift Lever four times. [MAGIC TOUCHIE GO!] Before scanning her right glove across the Wizard Driver’s Hand Author as another rain of crossbow bolts zoomed towards her. [DUST MIRROR MAGIC PLEASE!] Symbol held up her right glove. “That isn’t going to work!” a mirror formed in front of her and absorbed the attacks before reflecting them back. Constant cracks filled the air as the Shields of the Shielded Icarus Phantom’s started to break before snapping into pieces completely. The Phantom’s looked mad as they took aim with their crossbows and fired again! Symbol pressed the right Shift Lever four times. [MAGIC TOUCHIE GO!] The Wizard Driver’s Hand Author reset. [VERY NICE!] Symbol scanned her right glove across it. [DUST MIRROR MAGIC!] Symbol held out her right glove. [THE BEST!] Just before the attacks could reach her a mirror appeared in front of Symbol and blocked the attacks. “Dust Mirror Beam!” the mirror then fired a giant beam of silver dust that turned the flying Phantom’s into ash which then exploded.

Suddenly, Symbol heard the sound of a chainsaw and glanced to her right. “ARGH!” just in time to be stabbed in the chest plate with a chainsaw from a Ravager Phantom and sent flying backwards with sparks coming from her chest plate. “That hurt!” grumbled Symbol as she got back to her boots. Only to be slashed across the chest by the Ravager Phantom which had set itself on fire and closed the distance faster than she could get up. “That is it!” shouted Symbol as she pressed the right Shift Lever once. [MAGIC TOUCHIE GO!] Symbol scanned the rings on her right glove across the Wizard Driver’s Hand Author. [MIRROR MAGIC PLEASE!] She held up her right glove and a mirror appeared, out of which charged a copy of the Ravager Phantom. The two of them smashed into each other, but this Ravager Phantom was still fresh to the fight so it was able to overpower and destroy its clone easily.

But this had given Symbol all the time she needed. She swapped the Burst Ring for the Swift Ring and pressed the left Shift Lever. [MAGICAL TOUCH HENSHIN!] Then she scanned the Swift Ring. [SWIFT PLEASE!] Symbol held her left glove into the air and the swift magic circle fell through her. [DASH AWAY!] With her transformation complete Symbol pressed the left Shift Lever twice as she Ravager Phantom set itself on fire and start charging her way. [MAGICAL TOUCH GO!] Then she scanned the Swift Ring. [SWIFT! B RANK SPELL!] Symbol was covered in yellow mana and rocketed forwards, dodging around the slash from the Ravager Phantom and appeared behind it as she pulled open the Swift Dagger’s Hand Author. [COME ON A HIT SHAKE HANDS!] Then she scanned the Swift Ring across it. [SWIFT! STAB STRIKE!] The Swift Dagger blazed with yellow mana as Symbol slashed the Ravager Phantom at such speed her arm blurred making a huge amount of sparks spray from its body.

Suddenly the Ravager Phantom released a burst of flame from its body that sent Symbol stumbling back. “Hot! Hot!” sparks bleed from her body thanks to the huge amount of heat coming from the Ravager Phantom. It spun around and thrust its chainsaw down. [MAGICAL TOUCH HENSHIN!] Only for it to be blocked by the giga magic circle. [GIGA PLEASE!] It had no chance to stop the transformation. [BREAK THROUGH!] The second that Symbol was in her Giga Style she pressed the left Shift Lever three times as fast as she could. [MAGICAL TOUCH SPELL!] Then she scanned the Giga Ring. [GIGA A RANK SPELL!] Her body was covered in an aura of green mana as she used her forearm guard to block the attack. Her lenses went wide in shock. “Sparks?! How fast is that thing spinning?!” she hit the left Shift Lever four times. [MAGICAL TOUCH GO!] She was getting desperate. [VERY NICE!] She had to stop the attack. [GIGA! S RANK SPELL!] Before it cut through the aura. [THE BEST!] The shield around Symbol flared back to life as she forced the Ravager Phantom off and then slammed her palm into its chest, giving off a shockwave of green energy. Symbol crossed her arms and threw them out! “Giga Embodiment!” shouted Symbol as the green mana flared outwards and slammed into the Ravager Phantom, shattering its chainsaw. The Phantom was flung through the air and its body was riddled with shrapnel from its own weapon before the Ravager Phantom itself exploded.

Symbol panted as she replaced the Giga Ring with the Active Ring and pressed the left Shift Lever. [MAGICAL TOUCH HENSHIN!] Then Symbol scanned the Active Ring across the Wizard Driver’s Hand Author. [ACTIVE PLEASE!] She held her left glove out to the side and the active magic circle appeared before passing through her. [LET’S GO!] Transforming Symbol into the Active Style as she ran after Dante.

The two Kamen Rider’s ran down the street towards Kate.

“There you are,” she sounded relieved to see them.

“Here we are,” replied Dante as he and Symbol skidded to a stop.

Suddenly, the Slip Dimension started to shake and rattle violently as bits or rubble came from the surrounding buildings.

“This isn’t good,” muttered Kate.

“Tell us something we don’t know!” ordered Symbol.

Kate realised what was happening. “It’s the walls! Get out of here!” she screamed as she vanished.

“I have a better idea!” Symbol slid the Boost and Defend Rings onto her index and ring fingers before pressing the left Shift Lever. [MAGIC TOUCHIE HENSHIN!] Symbol then scanner her left glove across the Wizard Driver’s Hand Author. [BOOST DEFEND PLEASE!] The boost and defend magic circle passed through her as Symbol grabbed Dante and pressed the left Shift Lever again. [MAGIC TOUCHIE GO!] Purple energy ran into the Boost Grieves. [BOOST MAGIC PLEASE!] Symbol jumped into the air with enough force to carry them over the buildings, which smashed together, and land the two of them on the other side.

“Thanks,” thanked Dante as his sister let go of him.

“Don’t mention it,” replied Symbol as she looked around and saw a pair of cameras. “I’ll go for the one on the left, you go for the one on the right.”

“Sure,” replied Dante.

Their plan was interrupted by a Death Knight Phantom pulling itself from the ground, only this one was different. It was coloured light blue and had no shield while the area around it looked to freeze over, naming it the Frost Knight.

The fact that it had no shield was something Symbol noticed. “It’s got no shield! This should be easy!” she ran forwards, fully intending to take advantage of that fact.

“Sunset! No!” shouted Dante. “Something’s not right!” he tried to warn her.

But Symbol did not listen.

She brought down the Active Blade and slashed at the Frost Knight Phantom, only for the blade to slam into some kind of barrier that deflected the attack and forced Symbol’s arm up. “What the-?! ARGH!” shouted Symbol as she was slashed across the chest plate.

She stumbled back and switched the Active Ring for the Giga Ring before pressing the left Shift Lever. [MAGICAL TOUCH HENSHIN!] Then Symbol scanned the Giga Ring over the Wizard Driver’s Hand Author. [GIGA PLEASE!] The giga magic circle appeared under her boots and rose up through her. [BREAK THROUGH!] Symbol grabbed the Giga Axe as it appeared and slashed the Frost Knight Phantom several times. But each slash was blocked by the barrier. Symbol deflected a slash with her right arm. “Grr! I’ll break through that barrier!” snarled out Symbol as she pulled open the Giga Axe’s Hand Author. [COME ON A SMASH SHAKE HANDS!] Symbol then scanned the Giga Ring across it. [GIGA SMASH STRIKE!] Green mana was generated by the Giga Axe and covered it. “Giga Strike!” shouted Symbol as she brought the energized weapon down with all the force of a meteorite.

Only for her visors to go wide as the attack failed to do any damage to the barrier. “WHAT THE-?! ARGH!” her shock had given the Frost Knight Phantom the opening that it needed to slash in her the gut several times. “What on earth?!” muttered Symbol as ice started to cover her body, she had no time to react before she was frozen solid. The Frost Knight Phantom moved to shatter her!

But Dante was not about to lose his sister! [ONE!] He swung Arbiter around as the axe’s blade opened to reveal a single red circle. [DEMON AXE STRIKE!] Dante swung Arbiter down firing the energy off which quickly formed into the construct of a spinning axe blade. It slammed into the Frost Knight Phantom, only for the barrier to spring up and deflect the attack.

“Ok,’ thought Dante. ‘Sunset’s Active Blade didn’t work, nor did her Giga Axe. So the Rebellion Sword and the Arbiter Axe will be just as useless. That only leaves Osiris,’ he mentally reasoned as he dodged another wave of ice and switched the Demon Ring for the Angel Ring and punched it into the left slot of his Driver. [SET!] [OPEN!] [O-S-I-R-I-S!] Dante took Osiris off his back and punched the Angel Ring into the back of its blade. [TWO!] The blade then opened to reveal a single light blue circle. [ANGEL SCYTHE STRIKE!] Dante started to spin the scythe like a vertical propeller slashing at the Frost Knight Phantom and making a storm of sparks fly off it as it was cut over and over by Osiris.

“Yes!” shouted Dante as he pressed Osiris’ trigger. [ANGEL SCYTHE STRIKE!] Light blue energy gathered around the light blue scythe before shifting into the form of a light blue wing that rained feathers. “Prop!” Dante spun Osiris like a vertical propeller, picking up the Phantom and throwing it into the air as the scythe sliced into it over and over again making sparks explode from each of the cuts. As the Frost Knight Phantom fell back down towards the ground Dante spun Osiris in the other direction. “Shredder!” the Phantom was slammed into the ground before being cut into Osiris over and over as each slash cut a glowing blue scratch into it. This continued until the Frost Knight Phantom was dissected from top to bottom by a light blue glowing line. Dante thought the Phantom was going to explode, but it got back up and slashed him across the chest!

“Ow!” shouted Dante as he stumbled backwards. For a second he was confused, then he looked down at Osiris and remembered. “That’s right, this is for dealing with a lot of lightly armoured Phantom’s and doesn’t do a lot of damage!” he wanted to hit himself but was busy avoiding the ice attacks.

Meanwhile, Symbol had finally broken free of the ice and saw what happened. She swapped the Giga Ring for the Swift Ring and pressed the left Shift Lever. [MAGICAL TOUCH HENSHIN!] [SWIFT PLEASE!] [DASH AWAY!] Symbol then added the Wing and Sniper Rings to her right glove before pressing the right Shift Lever. [MAGIC TOUCHIE HENSHIN!] She scanned them [WING SNIPER PLEASE!] The two magical circles appeared over her helmet and fell through her as Symbol pressed the right Shift Lever twice more. [MAGIC TOUCHIE GO!] Then she scanned her right glove. [SNIPER MAGIC PLEASE!] The Sniper Shooter appeared and she fired a powerful bullet that slammed into the Frost Knight’s should and flipped it over from the sheer amount of force that was behind the shot.

Symbol flew over to Dante. “I saw what happened! It’s time for the Finale!” she instructed.

Dante nodded as he punched the Angel Ring into the back of Osiris’ blade. [FOUR!] Which opened to reveal four light blue circles. [ANGEL SCYTHE STRIKE!] Dante took up a stance as he ran forwards, pressing down on Osiris’ trigger. [ANGEL SCYTHE STRIKE!] Light blue wind started to cover Osiris as Dante ducked under a sword swing from the Frost Knight and jumped into the air while spinning. The wind from Osiris wrapped around Dante and pulled the Frost Knight in. “Raze!” spinning it around and slinging it into the air while Dante dropped back down to the ground.

Symbol saw her opening and pressed the right Shift Lever four times. [MAGIC TOUCHIE GO!] The Wizard Driver’s Hand Author reset. [VERY NICE!] Symbol scanned the two rings on her right glove. [WING SNIPER MAGIC!] Light blue energy started to gather around the barrel of the Sniper Shooter. [THE BEST!] Symbol pulled the trigger and fired a large beam of energy that slammed into the Frost Knight Phantom and caused it to go up in an explosion.

“Phew!” panted Symbol as the Flight Wings gave off steady beats to keep her in the air. “I’m calling that one a Frost Knight Phantom,” she stated.

“Call it whatever you want. At least we know how to beat it now!” snapped Dante as he ran towards the second Frost Knight Phantom that had just burst from the ground. Only to be slashed across the chest plate. “Why you!” he snarled.

Symbol moved in to assist her brother, only to find her path blocked by several Lesser Blade Phantoms and another Frost Knight Phantom. “Here we go” she reached towards the Wizard Driver, when suddenly: [BURST PLEASE!] The burst magical circle appeared behind her and moved through her, transforming Symbol into the Burst Style. [CAST THE SPELL!] She looked down at herself when bright light shone from her right glove. Having learned her lesson she turned away as she felt two new rings appear.

When the light cleared, Symbol looked down at her right index finger and saw that the ring on it was purple with a white gem in the centre of it that had a purple cloud etched into it. The other ring was purple with a dark green gem in the centre of it that had a yellow radiation logo etched into it.

“Let’s see what these do!” Symbol pressed the right Shift Lever. [MAGIC TOUCHIE HENSHIN!] Then she scanned her two new rings. [STEAM RADIATION PLEASE!] Symbol held her left glove out to the side and two magic circles appeared behind her. The first was a white cloud logo, inside a white diamond, inside a white eight-pointed star, inside a two diamond that had two layers and between the two layers was white runic text. The second was a yellow radiation logo, inside a green diamond, inside a green eight-pointed star, inside a green circle that had two layers, between which was yellow runic text.

The two circles passed through Symbol and transformed her into her new Burst Substyle. White armour that gave off smoke covered her gloves as well as the back of her fingers and her knuckles appeared. White smoke like armour appeared on the back of Symbol’s elbows. Her shoulder and knee armour turned white and started to give off wisps of cloud like smoke. White armour that looked to be made of smoke appeared on the top of sides of Symbol’s boots. Green armour with yellow outlines that gave off an eerie glow appeared on Symbol’s shins and looped around her upper legs. Green armour with hazard yellow outlines appeared around Symbol’s upper arms and on the outside of her forearms. Finally, the brown diamond on Symbol’s chest plate turned into a pair of logos, the first was a white cloud logo and the other was a toxic green / yellow hazard radiation logo. Kamen Rider Symbol was now in her Burst Steam Radiation Style.

“Wonder what this one does,” muttered Symbol. Suddenly, one of the Lesser Blade Phantom’s slashed down with its sword at her. “Yipe!” Symbol pressed the right Shift Lever once. [MAGIC TOUCHIE GO!] Then she scanned her right glove across the Wizard Driver’s Hand Author. [STEAM MAGIC PLEASE!] The sword hit her, only for Symbol’s body to part in the blade’s path.

“SUNSET!” shouted Dante as he watched his sister get cut down. Then her body suddenly snapped back together. “Oh,” he muttered before dodging away from an ice wave from the Frost Knight.

“So I can turn into steam? Cool!” Symbol quickly pressed the right Shift Lever four times. [MAGIC TOUCHIE GO!] The Wizard Driver’s Hand Author reset. [VERY NICE!] Symbol scanned her right glove. [STEAM RADIATION MAGIC!] She ran forwards as the air around her body started to heat up. [THE BEST!] Symbol transformed into scalding hot steam as she covered five of the Lesser Blade Phantoms. “Steam Rush!” sparks flew from their bodies right before each of them exploded.

“That was amazing!” chirped Symbol as she dashed at the Frost Knight Phantom, turning into steam, only to shout in pain as the Phantom was still able to hit her, sparks came from her stomach where she had been hit as she was forced back into her solid state. “What the-?!” then she realized that the cold temperature of the Phantom’s blade had cooled down her body and forced it back from a gas to a solid. “Ok, let’s give this a go!” Symbol pressed the right Shift Lever twice. [MAGIC TOUCHIE GO!] Then she scanned her right glove. [RADIATION MAGIC PLEASE!] Symbol threw out her right glove and from it roared a beam of radiation that slammed into the Frost Knight Phantom’s shoulder and made sparks fly from the impact, the red hot heat that increased the damage.

“Ok,” muttered Symbol as she stepped to the side and stuck on boot out, tripping the Frost Knight Phantom as it ran past her. “This should be the finale!” she pressed the right Shift Lever four times. [MAGIC TOUCHIE GO!] The Wizard Driver’s Hand Author reset. [VERY NICE!] She scanned the Steam and Radiation Rings over the Wizard Driver’s Hand Author. [STEAM RADIATION MAGIC!] Green radiation started to get pulled from the air and into her left glove. [THE BEST!] The radiation grew so thick that Symbol’s glove was hidden from view. “Radiation Burst!” Symbol thrust her glove forwards and fired a beam of radiation that was no bigger than her palm, it roared towards the Frost Knight Phantom. The beam slammed into the Phantom’s chest and tore through it, out the other side and into the distance. The Phantom fell to its knees as sparks bled from the entrance and exit points before it was engulfed by a giant explosion which destroyed it.

While Symbol was fighting, Dante had been fighting just as hard as his sister had been.

He jumped into the air. [THREE!] The blade opened to reveal three light blue circles. [ANGEL SCYTHE STRIKE!] Dante used the scythe as a hook to pull the Frost Knight Phantom up into the air from the ground so that it was helpless.

Dante then punched the Angel Ring into the back of Osiris’ blade a second time. [ONE!] This time when the blade opened only a single light blue circle was revealed. [ANGEL SCYTHE STRIKE!] Dante then punched the Angel Ring into his Driver’s left slot. [KICK STRIKE GO!] Light blue wind covered Dante’s right boot as he spun around. “Hanger!” he yelled as his boot slammed into the Frost Knight Phantom with the wind around it making a multitude of sparks come out of it.

Seeing that it was still alive, Dante punched the Angel Ring into the back of Osiris’ blade again. [TWO!] The blade closed and then opened again to reveal a pair of light blue circles. [ANGEL SCYTHE STRIKE!] Dante dashed forwards and jumped to the side, avoiding a line of ice as he punched the Angel Ring into his Driver’s left slot again. [KICK STRIKE GO!] Dante’s right boot was covered in light blue wind as he did a sliding tackle, kicking the Phantom into the air. Then he kicked off the ground, unleashing a shockwave of light blue wind that propelled him up, into the air and past the Phantom. Before Dante flipped over. “Prop Shredder!” he kicked the Frost Knight Phantom and sent it rocketing back down, smashing into the ground.

“It’s still not dead?!” demanded Dante as the Frost Knight Phantom started to get back up. “I really need an Angel Style weapon with more attacking power!” he jumped to the side to avoid a wave of frost, but was too slow and one of his legs got caught, holding him in place. “Shit!”

Symbol noticed this from her fight. “Why does that look really familiar? Like I’ve been in that situation before?” she questioned as Dante broke free. Before she was forced to concentrate on her own fight.

Dante was able to yank himself free after taking a slash across the chest plate, “Your gonna pay for that!” he snarled as he punched the Angel Ring into the back of Osiris’ blade. [SIX!] Which opened to reveal the maximum number of light blue circles. [ANGEL SCYTHE STRIKE!] Dante then held down on Osiris’ trigger. [ANGEL SCYTHE STRIKE!] Light blue energy covered the blade as Dante ran forwards and formed into feather constructs. Dante stabbed Osiris forwards, cutting a glowing light blue gash into the Frost Knight Phantom’s chest before the feather which had been following made sparks fly from the Frost Knight Phantom.

“Are you joking?! Demanded Dante when he saw the Frost Knight Phantom get back to its feet. Dante punched the Angel Ring into the back of Osiris’ blade. [FIVE!] Which opened to reveal five light blue circles. [ANGEL SCYTHE STRIKE!] Light blue energy covered the scythe’s blade as Dante pressed Osiris’ trigger. [ANGEL SCYTHE STRIKE!] The energy grew thick and fierce enough that it hid the scythe from view as Dante dashed forwards at high speed. “Cleaver!” yelled the Kamen Rider as he lashed out with several slashes before ending with a strong downwards slash. The Frost Knight Phantom stumbled backwards and fell to its knees but it still did not explode.

“Why. Won’t. You. Just. Die?!” demanded Dante. [FOUR!] Osiris’ blade opened to reveal five light blue circles. [ANGEL SCYTHE STRIKE!] Dante crotched and light blue wind started to gather around him as he pressed Osiris’ trigger. [ANGEL SCYTHE STRIKE!] The wind surged in power as Dante jumped while spinning. This created a tornado of sharp wind that cut into the Frost Knight Phantom making sparks bleed from it as it was damage by the thousands of wind blades within the tornado.

Not willing to chance it, Dante took advantage of Osiris’ setting and punched the Angel Ring into the left slot of his Driver. [KICK STRIKE GO!] He was covered in light blue wind and energy feather orbited him in a tornado of power as Dante ran forwards. “Raze!” yelled Dante as he jumped into the air and started to spin. His boot made contact with the Frost Knight Phantom which then exploded the second he made contact. Dante appeared out of the explosion and backflipped landing on the ground, stumbled for a second before getting his balance back.

Symbol nodded to Dante and ran down the right street and Dante dashed down the left one.

Symbol switched the Burst Ring for the Active Ring and pressed the left Shift Lever. [MAGICAL TOUCH HENSHIN!] Then she scanned the Active Ring. [ACTIVE PLEASE!] The active magic circle appeared to her left and moved through her, transforming Symbol into her Active Style. [LET’S GO!] She slid the Boost and Defend Rings onto her right index and ring fingers before pressing the right Shift Lever. [MAGIC TOUCHIE HENSHIN!] Then she scanned them both across the Wizard Driver’s Hand Author. [BOOST DEFEND PLEASE!] Symbol held her right glove out to the side and the two magic circles appeared before moving through her. Then Symbol pressed the right Shift Lever. [MAGIC TOUCHIE GO!] Before scanning her right glove across the Wizard Driver’s Hand Author. [BOOST MAGIC PLEASE!] Purple mana ran into the Boost Grieves. Symbol was just about to jump when she reached down and picked up a rock before throwing it over the house to her left, in Dante’s direction.

“OW!” come a shout from the aforementioned Kamen Rider. “THAT HURT!”

“I got the feeling that you were being a jerk again!” came Symbol’s reply.

She was then subjected to a lot of swearing which she ignored as she jumped onto a ledge, then hopped over the street to the next ledge. [MAGICAL TOUCH HENSHIN!] She scanned the Swift Ring. [SWIFT PLEASE!] The swift magic circle appeared above her and fell through her. [DASH AWAY!] Symbol donned the Wing and Sniper Rings before pressing the right Shift Lever. [MAGIC TOUCHIE HENSHIN!] Then scanned the Wing and Sniper Rings, transforming into the Wing Sniper Style. [WING SNIPER PLEASE!] Symbol jumped into the air and the Flight Wings gave a mighty flap to shoot her to the next ledge which was right next to the camera for her to destroyed.

[MAGICAL TOUCH HENSHIN!] [ACTIVE PLEASE!] [LET’S GO!] Symbol transformed back into the Active Style as she slid the Ice and Bind Rings onto her right index and ring fingers before pressing the. [MAGIC TOUCHIE HENSHIN!] Then into the Active Ice Bind Style. [ICE BIND PLEASE!] She held her right glove out to the side and the two magic circles appeared before moving through her. [MAGIC TOUCHIE GO!] Orange mana covered the Grapple Gauntlet. [BIND MAGIC PLEASE!] Symbol fired a chain of orange energy, the spike on the end of which speared through the camera’s eye. A hard yank pulled it out and Symbol let it fall to the street.

“I hope that I never have to do that again,” she shuddered as he jumped down to the street and ran around to the street that Dante had gone down, only to see him fighting several Phantoms.


Flashback with Dante.


As his sister ran down the right street, Dante went down the street on the left.

Kate was standing at the end of an alleyway that branched off to the side. “Over here Dante. We’re clear for the time being,” Dante ran up as the girl pulled out a spray paint can. “Over here.”

“Never seen a witch use a spray paint can before,” commented Dante as he walked alongside Kate.

“Well, unlike Kamen Rider commands, spells for humans to use can take hours if not days to prepare. So why not can it for instant use later?” Kate explained.

“They do that with cheese,” added Dante, if his head was not in helmet form, then he’d be smirking. “Where’d you learn this stuff?” he asked.

“Vergil taught me the basics of Kamen Rider commands, or at least what he was able to teach to a human. Then we found that I had a natural talent for it,” Kate knelt down and started to spray some of the compound in the can onto the stairs. “Vergil said it would give me something constructive to focus on instead of…”

When Kate didn’t continue Dante had to ask: “Instead of what?”

Kate didn’t answer for a moment. “Instead of focusing on the nightmares.”

And now Dante felt like an asshole.

All of a sudden a stone came plummeting out of the sky and smashed into his helmet.

*CLANG!*

“OW!” shouted the Kamen Rider. “That hurt!”

“I got the feeling you were being a jerk again!” came the shout back from Symbol.

Dante shouted sever swear words that made Kate blush as she finished what she was doing. “Ok, there you go,” suddenly, Kate looked around as if she was seeing something that Dante could not. Which she likely was. “Shit. Cops! I gotta go. I’ll find you both later!” with that she faded back into the real world. “Take out that camera,” she ordered just before she vanished.

Dante swapped the Angel Ring for the Demon Ring and punched it into the left slot of his Driver. [SET!] [OPEN!] [A-R-B-I-T-E-R!] Dante then grabbed Arbiter and turned the handle. [GRAPPLE MODE!] Transforming it into the Demon Pull, which he hooked onto the stairs and pulled, making them explode into a platform. Dante jumped onto the platforms and used the Demon Pull to yank a pair of ledges from a building, he jumped to the lower one and then to the higher ledge, before using the Demon Pull a third time to get another ledge out from a building.

Dante switched the Demon Ring for the Angel Ring and punched it into the left slot of his Driver. [SET!] [OPEN!] [O-S-I-R-I-S!] Dante punched the Angel Ring into his Driver’s left slot. [KICK STRIKE GO!] He jumped and kicked the air behind him, sending himself flying forwards on light blue wind and he landed on the ledge.

[SET!] [OPEN!] [A-R-B-I-T-E-R!] Dante swapped back into the Demon Style and turned Arbiter’s handle. [GRAPPLE MODE!] He pulled out the camera’s eye and dropped back down to the ground as the Phantom’s arrived. “Come on you little shits!” he shouted.

Dante used the Demon Pull twice. The first was to rip a Shielded Icarus Phantom’s shield from its grasp and then the second time was to pull the Phantom into axe range. He turned the Demon Pull’s handle. [AXE MODE!] Dante then punched the Demon Ring into the back of Arbiter’s blade. [SIX!] Which then opened to reveal six red circles. [DEMON AXE STRIKE!] Dante swung Arbiter down, slamming it into the Icarus Phantom, slamming the Phantom into the ground and making sparks explode from the impact point. Dante used the heavy and thick armour of the Demon Style to tank several bolts from another Shielded Icarus Phantom that was trying to stop him as he punched the Demon Ring into the left slot of his Driver. [GO! KICK STRIKE!] Red mana surged around his right boot as Dante raised it up and stomped down on the Icarus Phantom’s head making it explode. “Power Crush!” he muttered under his breath as the smoke cleared.

Dante then avoided several more crossbow bolts as he ran at a Death Knight Phantom. It swung its blade at him, but Dante blocked with Arbiter before slashing out with the mighty war axe. It slammed into the raised shield but still drove the Death Knight Phantom back several paces. [FIVE!] Arbiter’s blade opened to reveal five red circles as Dante jumped into the air. [DEMON AXE STRIKE!] He swung the axe downwards and came shooting down like a red meteor. The axe cut through the shield of a Shielded Icarus Phantom. Then the axe cut through the Icarus Phantom and finally it slammed into the raised shield of the Death Knight Phantom. It buckled, but Arbiter had used up too much of the command’s power cutting through the Icarus Phantom for it to be able to smash through the shield.

Dante jumped backwards as the Phantom swung its blade and punched the Demon Ring into his Driver’s left slot. [GO! KICK STRIKE!] Red energy was charged into his left boot as Dante jumped into the air, flipped and came down with an axe kick. The Death Knight Phantom raised its shield to block the attack like last time, only for its shield to gave way the second the boot made contact and the Death Knight Phantom to explode after being hit with the same boot.

Dante back flipped and landed back on the ground, only to be forced to throw himself under a slash from a Blade Phantom. [SET!] [OPEN!] [N-E-P-H-I-L-I-M!] He used Rebellion to bat several strikes to the side from the Blade Phantom as he punched the Nephilim Ring into the slot at the back of its handle. [THREE!] The mouth opened to reveal three red and blue circles. [NEPHILIM SABER STRIKE!] Dante slashed forwards three times, making sparks come from the Blade Phantom before he unleashed another three strikes, making even more sparks emerge from the Blade Phantom’s tough hide as the blade bit into it.

Suddenly, Dante saw three Lesser Blade Phantom’s closing in around him from three sides, he punched the Nephilim Ring into the back of the Rebellion Blade’s hilt. [TWO!] The mouth of it’s skull opened to reveal a pair of red and blue circles. [NEPHILIM SABER STRIKE!] Dante spun around several times making sparks explode from the three Lesser Blade Phantom’s and they stumbled back in pain. Dante then pressed the Rebellion Blade’s trigger. [NEPHILIM SABER STRIKE!] The eyes flashed as the Rebellion Blade was covered in red and blue energy. Dante spun around. “Death Coil!” the blade left an after image of itself that was several feet long as the Lesser Blade Phantom’s all sparked and exploded.

Suddenly, Dante looked over his shoulder and noticed that a Ravager Phantom had burst out of the ground behind him, set itself on fire and then charged towards him very high speeds! It slammed into him and sent Dante flying with sparks coming from his back plate, he had no time to get back up as he could already hear it charging at him once more, likely on fire.

Thankfully for him, Symbol returned at that moment!

“Dante no!” she pressed the right Shift Lever once. [MAGIC TOUCHIE GO!] Then she scanned her right glove across the Wizard Driver’s Hand Author. [ICE MAGIC PLEASE!] Icy blue energy gathered around the Icy Bracer as Symbol placed her palm on the ground. The floor was instantly flash frozen. The Ravager Phantom slipped and landed on its own chainsaw, doing a lot of damage to itself before it thought to turn the deadly weapon off.

“Thanks Sunset!” shouted Dante as he recovered and flipped back to his boots, kicking the Ravager Phantom while it was down. He was just fine with doing this as it had no problem doing the same to him.

“Think nothing of it!” shouted back Symbol as she dodged away from a Frost Knight Phantom and swapped the Active Ring for the Swift Ring before pressing the left Shift Lever. [MAGICAL TOUCH HENSHIN!] She scanned her left hand across the Wizard Driver’s Hand Author. [SWIFT PLEASE!] The swift magic circle appeared above her and then fell down through her. [DASH AWAY!] She pressed the left Shift Lever once. [MAGICAL TOUCH GO!] Before scanning the Swift Ring. [SWIFT! C RANK SPELL!] She held out the palm of her right glove and fired a beam of yellow energy that slammed into the chest of the Frost Knight Phantom making it stagger backwards with sparks coming from its body. Symbol pressed the left Shift Lever four times. [MAGICAL TOUCH GO!] The Wizard Driver’s Hand Author reset. [VERY NICE!] Symbol scanned the Swift Ring across it. [SWIFT! S RANK SPELL!] She held out her right palm as a huge amount of yellow mana was pulled from the air. [THE BEST!] Then she let it go. “Swift Beam!” a giant beam of yellow mana was fired from her palm. It roared forwards and slammed into the Frost Knight, making sparks explode from its body as it stumbled back in pain.

Symbol pressed the right Shift Lever. [MAGIC TOUCHIE HENSHIN!] She scanned them both across the Wizard Driver’s Hand Author. [WING SNIPER PLEASE!] Symbol held her right glove out to the side and the two magic circles appeared before passing through her. She held out her right glove and the Sniper Shooter appeared in front of it before Symbol grasped it. [MAGIC TOUCHIE GO!] She scanned her right glove. [SNIPER MAGIC PLEASE!] She took aim with the Sniper Shooter and fired a powerful energy bolt that spiralled through the air and tore into the Frost Knight Phantom from the sheer force that was behind it making sparks explode from its body.

Symbol quickly noticed that while the Frost Knight Phantom was sparking, it still was not dead. “The finale!” she shouted as she pressed the right Shift Lever four times. [MAGIC TOUCHIE GO!] The Wizard Driver’s Hand Author reset. [VERY NICE!] Symbol scanned her right glove. [WING SNIPER MAGIC!] Blue mana was pulled from the air, into the Sniper Shooter as it charged. [THE BEST!] Symbol pulled the trigger. “Sniper Beam!” a large beam of energy was fired. It roared through the air and impacted the Frost Knight Phantom which was sent flying as it’s barrier tried to stop the powerful attack. But the protection was quickly overpowered and shattered into pieces. The Frost Knight Phantom was engulfed by the beam and roared in pain as sparks came from its body. Micro explosions went off around it before the Frost Knight Phantom itself exploded.

Symbol was then forced to fly into the air as a Ravager Phantom Burst from the ground and made to fillet her with its chainsaw. Symbol landed back on the ground and she pressed the left Shift Lever twice. [MAGICAL TOUCH GO!] She scanned her left glove across the Wizard Driver’s Hand Author. [SWIFT! B RANK SPELL!] Symbol’s boots were both covered in yellow mana as she dashed forwards at speeds that blurred her body. She kicked the Ravager Phantom in the face and then uppercutted it into the air, before jumping after it and kicked it back down to the ground. Symbol shot down towards it only for the Ravager Phantom to unleash a burst of flame that knocked her away. “ARGH!” shouted Symbol in pain as her body sparked and yellow lightning crackled across it painfully. She climbed back to her boots as she shook it off and moved to re-engage the Ravager Phantom in combat.

[NEPHILIM SABER STRIKE!] Dante took revenge on the Ravager Phantom that had nearly skewered him. “Drive!” he slashed his sword once, sending out a wave of red and blue energy that slammed into the Ravager Phantom and made sparks explode across its body. Red and blue lightning crackled across it, paralyzing the Phantom.

Dante then punched the Nephilim Ring into the back of the Rebellion Sword’s handle. [FIVE!] The mouth snapped open to reveal five red and blue circles. [NEPHILIM SABER STRIKE!] As Dante dashed forwards he pressed down on the Rebellion Sword’s trigger. [NEPHILIM SABER STRIKE!] Red and blue energy surged around the tip of the Rebellion Sword. “Stinger!” roared Dante as he pulled the weapon back and stabbed it into the Ravager Phantom. A beam of red and blue energy tore out of its back as sparks came from the impact point, it was as if the Phantom was bleeding before it fell over backwards and was consumed by an explosion.

Dante jumped back as five Lesser Blade Phantom’s burst from the ground and moved to attack him. He punched the Nephilim Ring into the back of the Rebellion Sword’s hilt. [SIX!] Dante sprinted forwards as the Rebellion Sword’s mouth opened to reveal six red and blue circles. [NEPHILIM SABER STRIKE!] He then placed the Rebellion Sword back on his back plate has he punched the Nephilim Ring into the left slot of his Driver. [GO! KICK STRIKE!] Red and blue energy collected around his right boot. “Trillion Kicks!” He booted one of the Lesser Blade Phantom’s in the face five times, kicked another in the chest ten times, drop kicked a third four times, kicked a fourth in the knee five times and then roundhouse kicked a four in the face twenty times before ending with five flying kicks to the final Lesser Blade Phantom. He landed back on the ground and stamped down making all five of the Lesser Blade Phantoms get consumed by an explosion.

Dante then saw another Frost Knight Phantom burst out of the ground. It slammed its sword into the ground and a line of ice zoomed along it straight for Dante. Who dodged out of the way. “Here we go again!” he swapped the Nephilim Ring for the Angel Ring and punched it into his Driver’s left slot. [SET!] [OPEN!] [O-S-I-R-I-S!] Transforming Dante into the Angel Style as he removed Osiris from his back and turned the handle. [HOOK MODE!] Osiris transformed into the Angel Lift as Dante hooked it onto the Frost Knight Phantom and pulled himself towards it. Halfway there he turned the handle again. [SCYTHE MODE!] The Angel Lift turned back into Osiris and Dante road the momentum as he punched the Angel Ring into the back of Osiris’ blade. [SIX!] Which then opened to reveal six light blue circles. [ANGEL SCYTHE STRIKE!] Dante punched the Angel Ring into his Driver’s left slot again. [KICK STRIKE GO!] Dante was covered in light blue wind as he thrust his right boot out and slammed it into the Frost Knight Phantom, sending it skidding backwards with sparks coming from its body.

Before the Frost Knight Phantom had any chance to recover, Dante punched the Angel Ring into his Driver’s left slot. “There’s no way I’m going through this shit again!” he growled even as his Driver announced. [KICK STRIKE GO!] Dante’s boots glowed light blue. “Angel Boost!” He jumped over the Frost Knight Phantom with light blue wind trailing behind him before kicking it in the back. It flew forwards with light blue lightning crackling along its body. Sparks exploded from it as micro explosions went off around it and then the Frost Knight Phantom itself was consumed by a large explosion.

Dante’s visors blinked for several seconds as the processed what had just happened. “I honestly didn’t expect that to work,” he stated in confusion after several seconds of blinking. “Weak point on the back, got to remember that,” he muttered to himself.

Meanwhile Symbol had been fighting the Ravager Phantom. “Swift Style isn't much good against that thing, one more burst of flame and I’ll turn back to human. Let's five Burst Style a try,” decided Symbol. She swapped the Swift Ring for the Burst Ring and pressed the left Shift Lever. [MAGICAL TOUCH HENSHIN!] Then she scanned the Burst Ring across the Wizard Driver’s Hand Author. [BURST PLEASE!] The burst magic circle appeared behind her and moved through Symbol. [CAST THE SPELL!] Transforming her into the Burst Style. She pressed the left Shift Lever once. [MAGICAL TOUCH GO!] Scanned the Burst Ring. [BURST! C RANK SPELL!] Symbol held up her right glove as it glowed purple. Four balls of fire appeared in the air around her. “GO!” ordered Symbol. The fireballs shot forwards towards the Ravager Phantom. Only for it to block them with its shield, but the force was enough to send it skidding backwards.

Symbol quickly pressed the left Shift Lever four times. [MAGICAL TOUCH GO!] The Wizard Driver’s Hand Author reset. [VERY NICE!] Symbol scanned the Burst Ring across it. [BURST! S RANK SPELL!] She held up her right hand as the glow around it grew more powerful. [THE BEST!] Flames ignited around her before condensing into nine balls of blazing hot flames. “Fire Swarm!” ordered Symbol as the orbs raced forwards. The Ravager Phantom was able to cut through two of them with its chainsaw, causing them to disperse. But doing that left it open to be slammed into by the rest the fireballs that detonated in a massive explosion.

“That should have ended it,” murmured Symbol. Only to be shocked when the Ravager Phantom came rocketing out of the flames with little to no damage. “WHAT THE?!” she cried out in pain as the chainsaw slammed into her chest plate and sent her flying backwards. “How did it-?!” then it hit her. “It sets itself on fire! Of course flames won’t hurt it!” she smacked her helmet. “Idiot!”

[MAGIC TOUCHIE HENSHIN!] Symbol scanned her right glove across the Wizard Driver’s Hand Author. [DUST MIRROR PLEASE!] The dust and mirror magic circles appeared behind her and moved through Symbol, transforming her into the Burst Dust Mirror Style. [MAGIC TOUCHIE GO!] The Ravager Phantom burst into flames and roared forwards as Symbol scanned her right glove across the Wizard Driver’s Hand Author. [MIRROR MAGIC PLEASE!] A mirror appeared in front of Symbol and a second Ravager Phantom ran out of it and towards the real Ravager Phantom. The two impacted and the copy quickly overpowered the original, cutting sparks from it with its chainsaw.

Symbol saw a micro explosion go off around the Ravager Phantom and knew it was her opening to finish this. She pressed the right Shift Lever four times. [MAGIC TOUCHIE GO!] The Wizard Driver’s Hand Author reset. [VERY NICE!] Symbol scanned her right glove over it. [DUST MIRROR MAGIC!] A silver glow started to cover her left glove. [THE BEST!] Symbol held up her left glove as the mirror appeared again. “Mirror Reflection!” shouted Symbol. Out of the mirror came a copy of the Ravager Phantom that was glowing with silver magic. It charged into the Ravager Phantom, moving so fast it was nothing but a streak before impacting the original and causing it to explode violently.

“Glad that’s over,” muttered Symbol when she saw that the Ravager Phantom had been destroyed. Then her visors went wide as she looked around for several seconds then looked up. “That didn’t count? Right?” she questioned.

“Who are you talking to?” asked a confused Dante.

“The universe,” replied Symbol as she walked past him.

Suddenly the ground gave way under their boots!

“WOAH!” they both shouted as they landed in what looked like a church.

“We’re about to fight the closet thing you can get to demons in a church,” mused Symbol.

“That’s irony for you,” chuckled Dante.

Out of the church wall came another Phantom. This one was twice their heights, made of armour with four spikes coming out of its head, it was fate and had large fists. This is the Tyrant Phantom.

“Who invited you Fatass?!” shouted Dante.

With a roar it set it’s fist on fire and charged at them!

“I don’t like where this is going,” muttered Symbol as she pressed the right Shift Lever twice. [MAGIC TOUCHIE GO!] Then she scanned the rings on her right glove across the Wizard Driver’s Hand Author. [MIRROR MAGIC PLEASE!] Symbol held up her left glove as a mirror appeared in front of the Tyrant Phantom and its own reflection charged out. Only for the Phantom to smash through the reflection with ease.

Symbol’s visors went wide as the Tyrant Phantom swung its fist and hit her, sending the Kamen Rider flying with sparks coming from her body as she impacted the ground painfully and skidded until she reached the back of the church.

“SUNSET!” shouted Dante. “Your gonna pay for that!” he snarled at the Tyrant Phantom as he swapped the Angel Ring for the Demon Ring and punched it into his Driver’s left slot. [SET!] [OPEN!] [A-R-B-I-T-E-R!] He pulled Arbiter off his back and slammed the Demon Ring into the back of it’s blade. [ONE!] Which opened to reveal a single red circle. [DEMON AXE STRIKE!] Dante swung Arbiter down as red energy gathered around it’s blade. As Dante completed his swing the energy was fired off in the form of a spinning energy axe blade that spun towards the Tyrant only for it to deflect it and continue the charge towards Dante.

Swearing under his breath Dante held down the trigger of the Arbiter Axe. [DEMON AXE STRIKE!] Dante spun the Arbiter Axe for several seconds before slashing down. A much bigger axe of energy was fired from the weapon. It spun through the air for the Tyrant Phantom. But said Phantom set its arms on fire and smashed them together with the construct in the middle, making it shatter like glass.

“What the-?!” shouted Dante in complete bafflement as the Tyrant Phantom closed the distance and punched him. “ARGH!” Dante went flying back, but he was in a stronger form than Symbol so he took less damage and was able to recover in the air. “Die!” he pulled out Ebony and Ivory before punching the Demon Ring into the back of their hammers. [EBONY AND IVORY STRIKE!] Black energy gathered around Ebony while White energy covered Ivory. “Ricoshot!” shouted Dante as he fired a pair of bullets that spiralled around each other, creating a drill effect which smashed into the Tyrant Phantom and made sparks come from its body before it threw its arms to the side, shattering the bullets as well as the drill effect.

“Just what is this thing made of?!” shouted Dante as he punched the Demon Ring into the back of the Arbiter Axe’s blade. [FIVE!] Which opened to reveal five red circles. [DEMON AXE STRIKE!] Dante jumped into the air as red energy gathered around the axe’s blade, he pressed down on the Arbiter Axe’s trigger. [DEMON AXE STRIKE!] Dante swung the Arbiter Axe down and was covered in red energy that made him look like a meteor. The Tyrant Phantom set both of it’s fist on fire and punched upwards with one of them. The two of them clashed, red energy and fire was thrown around until both attacks ended. Only for the Tyrant Phantom to swat Dante out of the air with it’s other fist.

“DANTE!” shouted Symbol as she recovered. She changed the Burst Ring for the Active Ring and pressed the left Shift Lever. [MAGICAL TOUCH HENSHIN!] Then she scanned the Active Ring over the Wizard Driver’s Hand Author. [ACTIVE PLEASE!] Symbol held her left glove to the side and the active magic circle passed through her. [LET’S GO!] Transforming her into the Active Style. She pressed the left Shift Lever once. [MAGICAL TOUCH GO!] Symbol scanned the Active Ring. [ACTIVE! C RANK SPELL!] Her right glove was covered in red mana and red lightning as she pressed the left Shift Lever four more times. [MAGICAL TOUCH GO!] The Wizard Driver’s Hand Author reset. [VERY NICE!] Symbol scanned the Active Ring across it. [ACTIVE! S RANK SPELL!] The lightning and mana formed into an orb in right palm. [THE BEST!] Symbol ran forwards just as the Tyrant Phantom was about to body slam Dante. “Active Strike!” she bellow as she slammed the orb into it, sending the Phantom flying as the attack detonated.

“You ok?” Symbol asked her brother.

“Been better!” replied Dante as he got back up.

Symbol added the Boost and Defend Rings to her right glove before pressing the right Shift Lever. [MAGIC TOUCHIE HENSHIN!] She scanned the rings. [BOOST DEFEND PLEASE!] The two magic circles appeared to her right and moved through her. Symbol pressed the right Shift Lever twice. [MAGIC TOUCHIE GO!] Before scanning the Defend Ring. [DEFEND MAGIC PLEASE!] A thin layer of grey mana covered the Defend Shield as Symbol pressed the right Shift Lever four times. [MAGIC TOUCHIE GO!] The Wizard Driver’s Hand Author reset. [VERY NICE!] Symbol scanned her right glove. [BOOST DEFEND MAGIC!] The Defend Shield pulsed. [THE BEST!] Then the thin layer transformed into a thick wall of grey mana between them and the Tyrant Phantom which pounded against it but could not get through!

“Nice one!” cheered Dante.

“Now attack it while I‘ve got it held still!” ordered Symbol.

“On it!” replied Dante as he punched the Demon Ring into the back of the Arbiter Axe’s blade. [ONE!] Which opened to reveal a single red circle. [DEMON AXE STRIKE!] Dante spun the Arbiter Axe as he held down the trigger. [DEMON AXE STRIKE!] Red energy started to gather around the axe’s blade as Dante spun it in a circle, forming a spinning mana construct of an axe blade before he punched the Demon Ring into the left slot of his Driver. [GO! KICK STRIKE!] Red mana covered Dante’s right boot as he spun around the kicked the construct. “Mega Flush!” shouted Dante as the mana around his boot was transformed into the construct making it rage with power as it shot forwards. It passed through the shield with ease as it slammed into the Tyrant Phantom, driving it back into a wall with sparks being ground out of it.

For a second Dante thought that was the end of it before his visors went wide. “No fucking way!” the Tyrant Phantom had grabbed the attack and charged it with its own flames before throwing back at Dante and Symbol. It smashed through the barrier as if it was glass and then slammed into Symbol, sending her flying backwards with sparks exploding from her armour!

“SUNSET! NO!” shouted Dante as his sister was badly hurt. He turned to the Tyrant Phantom in rage. “Bastard hijacked my attack! DIE!” he punched the Demon Ring into the back of the Arbiter Axe’s blade. [FOUR!] Which then opened to reveal four red circles. [DEMON AXE STRIKE!] Dante charged as he pressed down on the Arbiter Axe’s trigger. [DEMON AXE STRIKE!] Red energy ran up and down the axe as Dante ducked under a swing from the Tyrant Phantom and slammed it into the back of the Phantom. The axe unleashed nine pulses of red energy that made the Phantom roar in pain.

Dante blinked. “Huh, SUNSET! It’s weak point is on its back!” he shouted. “ARGH!”

Dante forgot one of the most important rules of life or death combat.

Never take your eyes off your opponent.

The Tyrant Phantom spun around and back handed him to send the Kamen Rider Flying.

“DANTE!” shouted Symbol. [GIGA PLEASE!] All of a sudden the giga magic circle appeared below her and moved up through Symbol. [BREAK THROUGH!] Transforming her into the Giga Style. “Your a bit late!” she shouted as the two new rings appeared on her right index and ring fingers in flashes of light.

The ring on her index finger was green with a red gem that had a crimson fist engraved into the centre of it. The second ring was green with a purple gem that had a silver drill etched into it. These are the Punch and Drill Rings.

Symbol pressed the right Shift Lever. [MAGIC TOUCHIE HENSHIN!] Then scanned the two new rings over the Wizard Driver’s Hand Author. [PUNCH DRILL PLEASE!] Two new magic circles appeared under her boots. The first was a red fist, inside a red square, inside a red eight-pointed star, inside another square that was silver, had two layers and bright red runic text between the layers. The second magic circle was a purple drill logo, inside a silver square, inside a purple eight-pointed triangle inside a second square that was coloured purple, had two layers and between the two layers was silver runic text. They both rose up through Symbol, transforming her into the new Giga Substyle.

Her right shoulder guard turned into a burnt red square with silver outlines, the upper right line extended outwards. Her left shoulder guard turned into a silver orb with purple outlines and a purple square painted onto the outside of it that had a silver drill coming out of it. Both of her forearm guard had turned burnt red and wrapped around her forearms while her wristlets had turned into solid silver bracers. Her upper arms now had burned red armour wrapped around them. The bronze square in the centre of her chest plate turned into a bright red fist logo and a silver drill logo with purple outlines. Silver armour covered the back of her gloves with silver drills coming out of each knuckle, these are the Punch Driller. Symbol was now in her Giga Punch Drill Style. She could feel the power of this form racing through her.

She knew it could piece the Tyrant Phantom’s thick hide.

Symbol ran forwards as she pressed the right Shift Lever once. [MAGIC TOUCHIC GO!] Then she scanned her right glove across the Wizard Driver’s Hand Author. [PUNCH MAGIC PLEASE!] Flames covered her right glove. She pulled back her fist, as did the Tyrant Phantom. The two fists made contact with each other and formed a shockwave, but Symbol quickly overpowered the Tyrant Phantom. Sparks exploded from its fist as it was sent flying backwards and slammed into a wall.

Symbol turned to Dante who was getting back up. “Are you ok?!” she demanded of him.

“I’m fine,” snapped out Dante as he tried to get up, but failed as that hit had done a lot of damage.

“Leave the rest of this to me!” ordered Symbol as she ran at the Tyrant Phantom, pressing the right Shift Lever down twice. [MAGIC TOUCHIC GO!] She scanned her right glove across the Wizard Driver’s Hand Author. [DRILL MAGIC PLEASE!] The drills on her right knuckles gave a whine as they started spinning before that whine turned into a roar as they picked up speed. Symbol pulled back her fist and punched the Tyrant Phantom in the gut. Sparks flew from it as it gave a roar of pain and slammed its fists down on Symbol. Only to roar once more as she blocked with her drills, making the Phantom recoiled in agony from the pain in its hands.

Symbol quickly pressed the right Shift Lever three times. [MAGIC TOUCHIC GO!] Then she scanned her right glove. [PUNCH DRILL MAGIC PLEASE!] The drills on her knuckles were covered in red and purple flames as she pulled them back and punched the Tyrant Phantom in the face, sending it flying backwards with sparks coming from its mangled head.

Yet it still wasn’t dead!

“Tough, ain’t ya!” muttered Symbol as she pressed the right Shift Lever four times. “But you won’t survive this!” shouted Symbol. [MAGIC TOUCHIC GO!] The Wizard Driver’s Hand Author reset. [VERY NICE!] Symbol scanned her right glove. [PUNCH DRILL MAGIC!] Red fire and purple mana built up around her gloves. [THE BEST!] The fire and mana formed into a giant drill around each of her gloves before Symbol slammed them together. The two energies broke down and merged transforming into a single giant drill. “Merged Giga Drill Breaker!” shouted Symbol as she ran forwards and slammed the giant drill through the Tyrant Phantom’s chest. Sparks flew and micro explosions went off around the Tyrant Phantom before the monster went up in a giant explosion which destroy it and sent Symbol skidding backwards. She was forced to ram the Punch Drillers into the ground to stop herself.

“That was the finale!” shouted Symbol as she looked around for a few seconds. When no more Phantom’s appeared she knew that the fight was over.

At that moment Kate appeared. “Dante! Sunset! I don’t know what’s going on in there, but it’s chaos out here. But I found the Rift!”

“Where?” asked Dante.

“Kate pointed to a high window. “Up there! I’ve marked it” she shouted.

“How did you even get up there?!” demanded Symbol as they ran past Kate.

“Dante! Sunset! Run!” screamed Kate as the floor started breaking apart.

“WHAT DOES IT LOOK LIKE WE’RE DOING?!” they both shouted at her.

Symbol switched the Giga Ring for the Active Ring and pressed the left Shift Lever. [MAGICAL TOUCH HENSHIN!] She scanned the Active Ring across the Wizard Driver’s Hand Author. [ACTIVE PLEASE!] The active magic circle appeared to her left and moved through her. [LET’S GO!] Transforming Symbol into the Active Style as she pressed the right Shift Lever. [MAGIC TOUCHIE HENSHIN!] Then she scanned her right glove. [BOOST DEFEND PLEASE!] The two magic circles appeared before moving through her.

Dante swapped the Demon Ring for the Angel Ring and punched it into the left slot of his Driver. [SET!] [OPEN!] [O-S-I-R-I-S!] Transforming him into the Angel Style as he reached and turned the handle of Osiris. [HOOK MODE!] Transforming it into the Angel Lift. [KICK STRIKE GO!] Dante repaid Symbol for beating the Tyrant Phantom as he kicked the air behind him, grabbing her around the waist they jumped to several fragments of the floor as the Slip Dimension kept making the church get longer.

But it was unable to stop them from reaching the window.

Symbol pressed the right Shift Lever twice. [MAGIC TOUCHIE GO!] Then she scanned her right glove across the Wizard Driver’s Hand Author. [BOOST MAGIC PLEASE!] She jumped off the air with Dante, pulling them both into the rift and back into the real world.


Real World


The two of them appeared back in the real world and transformed back into their human forms.

“It just seemed to drag on forever,” shrugged Dante as they walked past Kate.

Kate winced and followed them as the top half of the church’s spire broke off and fell to the ground.
> S1E6 Virility
> --------------------------------------------------------------------------

Dante, Kate and Sunset walked up to the Virility Factory after staring at the creepy mascot for a few seconds they moved on.

“I was here years ago as a child. I explored the whole facility unseen,” explained Kate.

“You have my condolences,” replied Sunset.

“Thanks,” smiled Kate. “I sensed a Phantom under the factory. A Succubus, an ancient one.”

The three of them moved towards an escalator.

“We believe it’s the source of the psychotropic ingredient. That’s what they use to control us,” clarified Kate when she saw the confused looks.

At that moment the Public Address System boomed up. “Welcome visitors to the Virility Factory,” it shouted cheerfully.

Dante winced. “And I thought Sunset was cheerful!”

Sunset twitched. “I’m hating this place already!” she growled.

The PA System continued to drone on. “Virility’s secret ingredient is what makes Virility the number one soft drink in the world! Best of all, it has been scientifically proven to improve weight loss by twenty-one percent and enhance sexual performance by sixty-three percent if drunk daily!”

Sunset could not take it anymore and burst out laughing. “You have got to be kidding me!” she shouted hysterically.

“How do people actually fall for this crap?” Dante asked Kate in complete disbelief that someone would really believe that.

“If your told something is true often enough, you tend to believe it,” replied Kate. “They told me I was crazy for seeing Phantom’s.”

“Yeah, they tried telling me I was a basket case too,” replied Dante.

Kate didn’t seem to have heard him as she continued. “They wanted to put me on drugs. Said it would make me better. They lied. They just wanted to keep me weak and docile,” she mumbled out.

Dante looked at Kate for several seconds before asking. “How did you figure it all out?”

Kate shrugged. “Vergil pulled me out of the nightmares.”

“That explains the loyalty you have to each other,” realised Sunset.

Kate turned to Dante. “You?” she asked.

Dante thought for several seconds before deciding to explain. “When the people you're supposed to trust most, turn out to be Phantom scum. Your eyes really do open up to evil everywhere. I took a stand, fought back, killed. No matter the consequence. So I chose my path and I lived by it. After all that anger, violence and death you have to dig deep. Deep into your own heart. To see if you are still sane, or if you can still call yourself, human.”

“Which you can’t anymore,” pipped up Sunset, although it was easy to see that she was shaken by the story.

“I’ll keep that in mind, minus the cutting open my own chest part,” replied Kate slowly, only slightly less shaken than Sunset.

“I just knew in my heart I wasn’t crazy,” justified Dante.

The three of them walked into a room that had several cylinders filled with liquid coming from the floor. In the cylinders was a tap that several people were drinking from and in the centre of the room was a pillar with a circle shaped holographic sign orbiting it.

“This, ladies and gentlemen, is where the magic ingredients are mixed together to give you the unique of Virility,” the PA System continued to drone on.

“The Succubus is hidden deep within the factor but there’s no physical way to reach it from our world, only from the Slip Dimension,” explained Kate.

“Stops any humans from stumbling on it,” muttered Sunset.

“There’s a rift inside,” Kate lead them through a side door.

Just before they went through the soundproof door, they heard the PA System blare out one last bit of rubbish. “Rest assured that it has been deemed both safe and beneficial by our trustworthy and ethical scientists. Virility truly is a national treasure!”

“Thank goodness we don’t have to listen to any more of that!” snarled Sunset as she punched a wall, denting it.

“Yeah,” Dante agreed with her as they ran after Kate.

The corridor was dark with some green paint on the floor and two thick pipes going along the left wall.

“This way, I think,” said Kate as she took a left turn.

“You think?!” demanded Sunset as they ran down a flight of stairs.

“You said you’d been here before,” Dante pointed out.

“Yes,” Kate hesitated. “But it was during an out of body experience years ago.

“Flying around in spirit form?” questioned Dante.

“Like a ghost?” asked Sunset.

“Yes,” replied Kate. “In the Slip Dimension. Vergil says it could be an effective intelligence gathering tool, but I can’t do it at will.”

“So, how did you do it before?” asked Dante.

“It was triggered by extreme psychosomatic trauma,” replied Kate. “The nightmares.”

“What are, the nightmares?” asked Dante.

“I’m wondering about that too,” added Sunset.

“It’s in the past now,” Kate clearly didn’t want to talk about it.

While they had been talking, the trio had reached what looked like a massive storage room filled with crates.

“This is where they store the merchandise ready for export,” explained Kate.

“Something wrong?” asked Sunset as she noticed Kate looking around.

“It’s funny,” whispered Kate.

“What is?” asked Dante as he and Sunset shared a look. Wondering what Kate could find funny when they were about to go into the Slip Dimension.

“I expected it to be bigger,” replied Kate. “A lot bigger.”

“Weren’t you in the Slip Dimension at the time?” asked Sunset.

“Yes?” replied Kate, wondering where this was going.

“Where the laws of physics barely apply?” asked Sunset.

Kate’s eyes went wide as the understood what Sunset was saying. “Oh, that makes sense, I guess,” she replied. “I was just a child at the time.”

“What were you doing here?” asked Dante.

“Escaping my nightmares,” replied Kate as she continued to look around.

Missing the twin looks of shock that Dante and Sunset gave her.

“You came to the Slip Dimension to escape your nightmares?!” demanded Dante.

“Yes,” replied Kate plainly.

Dante and Sunset shared another look. Just how back were Kate’s nightmares if she came to the place where Phantom’s lived to escape them?!

As they started searching for the Rift Kate explained the plan to them. “Once you're both in the Slip Dimension, all you have to do is retrace your steps back to the mixing room.”

“Should be easy enough,” stated Dante without thinking.

“Yeah, but this room will look a lot different in the Slip Dimension,” argued Sunset.

Dante remained stubborn. “Still should be easy.”

“Also, we’re after one of Wiseman’s main assets so the Phantom’s will be coming in stronger and bigger waves by the score!” shouted Sunset.

“Not so easy,” relented Dante.

Sunset turned to Kate. “What happens once we’ve reached the mixing room?”

“You’ll be able to descend into the factory,” she explained.

Dante cut her off. “Then kill the Succubus.”

Kate found the rift. “Ok, it’s here!” she pulled the roll of paper off her back, spread it onto the floor and sprayed the magic circle onto the ground. “All right, see you on the other side,” Kate stepped back.

Dante and Sunset stepped forwards, into the circle.

“This is gonna suck!” muttered Sunset as the world started to distort.

Crates shot out from the wall, spinning and hovering in the air. The air turned murky as the shelves broke into pieces.

“Woah!” shouted Sunset and Dante as the floor dropped downwards, taking the both of them with it!

“Phew!” muttered Dante as the transition from the real world to the Slip Dimension stopped and everything stopped moving around.

“Dante? Sunset?” shouted Kate from far above them.

“We’re down here!” shouted Dante.

Kate looked down. “Oh, good!”

“You and Sunset were right!” shouted Dante. “It’s a lot bigger in the Slip Dimension. What next?”

“Climb!” shouted Sunset.

Dante rolled his eyes.

“Head back to the mixing room!” ordered Kate. “I’ll meet you there!” with that she vanished back into the real world.

“Told you!” said Sunset smugly.

“Just transform!” growled Dante.

Sunset smirked as she held her Driver On Ring over her belt buckle. [DRIVER ON! PLEASE!] A magic circle appeared in front of the buckle as it grew out into the Wizard Driver. Sunset pressed the left Shift Lever. [MAGICAL TOUCH HENSHIN!] Sunset scanned the Active Ring across the Wizard Driver’s Hand Author. [ACTIVE PLEASE!] She held her left hand out to the side and the active magic circle appeared. [LET’S GO!] It moved through her, transforming Sunset Shimmer into Kamen Rider Symbol Active Style.

Dante held his own Driver On Ring over his belt buckle. [DRIVER ON!] A roar came from the buckle as a magic circle appeared in front of it making it grow out into Dante’s Driver. He then punched the Nephilim Ring into his Driver’s left slot. [SET!] Dante turned his wrist forwards making his Driver’s gate spring open. [OPEN!] The nephilim magic circle appeared from it then the circle moved backwards through him. [N-E-P-H-I-L-I-M!] Transforming Dante into Kamen Rider Dante Nephilim Style.

The two of them jumped up to a piece of metal that was coating a block of concrete floating in the air before jumping to another piece of metal that looked like a Y.

“Which way do we go?” asked Symbol.

“Left,” replied Dante.

“We go right,” ordered Symbol as she did so.

“Right, HEY!” shouted Dante as he realised what his sister had done and chased after her.

Symbol laughed as she slid the Ice and Bind Rings onto her right index and ring fingers before pressing the right Shift Lever. [MAGIC TOUCHIE HENSHIN!] Symbol scanned her right glove over the Wizard Driver’s Hand Author and threw said glove out to the side. [ICE BIND PLEASE!] The two magic circles appeared before passing through Symbol, transforming her into the Active Ice Bind Style. She pressed the right Shift Lever twice more. [MAGIC TOUCHIE GO!] Then scanned her right glove. [BIND MAGIC PLEASE!] Orange mana gathered around the Grapple Gauntlet before Symbol threw her arm out, firing a chain of orange magical energy. The spike at the end of it speared through a crate under a piece of concrete before Symbol yanked back pulling the whole thing closer.

“Wait for me!” shouted Dante as he caught up two island’s later.

[MAGIC TOUCHIE GO!] [BIND MAGIC PLEASE!] “What kept you?” asked Symbol as she fired another chain to pull another piece of concrete closer for them to jump to.

Dante switched the Nephilim Ring for the Angel Ring and punched it onto his Driver’s left slot. [SET!] Dante turned his wrist back making his Driver’s gate close then turned it forwards forcing his Driver’s gate to open again. [OPEN!] The angel magic circle appeared from Dante’s Driver. [O-S-I-R-I-S!] Then moved back through him transforming Dante into his Angel Style. He picked Osiris off his back and turned the handle. [HOOK MODE!] Transforming the scythe into the hook. “You left me!” he shouted as he pulled them both towards a slab that was higher up. He used the Angel Lift again to pull them to another slab that was a bit lower than the one they were on.

“Details,” replied Symbol. [MAGIC TOUCHIE GO!] [BIND MAGIC PLEASE!] She fired another chain of orange mana that she used to pull apart a web of some kind of black goo that was blocking the path.

Dante scowled as he punched the Angel Ring into his Driver’s left slot. [KICK STRIKE GO!] He wrapped his arms around Symbol as he kicked the air behind him, sending both of them shooting forwards on the light blue wind. “If it wasn’t for the fact that having you here makes this a lot easier then I would have left you back there!” he snapped.

“Then I would have made my own way over,” replied Symbol with ease.

Anymore fighting was put on hold as the Phantom’s burst from the concrete slab they had landed on.

“What took you so long?” taunted Dante.

“We were getting bored!” shouted Symbol.

Dante turned the Angel Lift’s handle. [SCYTHE MODE!] Transforming it back into Osiris. Dante ran forwards and punched the Angel Ring into the back of Osiris’s blade. [ONE!] Which opened to reveal a single light blue circle. [ANGEL SCYTHE STRIKE!] Dante started to spin the scythe, cutting into three Lesser Blade Phantom’s that had made the mistake of surrounding him. Dante kept this attack up for several seconds as he saw sparks come off the Phantom’s. Then he saw a micro explosion detonate around each of the three Lesser Blade Phantom’s. “Got it!” Dante pressed down on Osiris’ trigger. [ANGEL SCYTHE STRIKE!] Light blue mana gathered inside the Osiris blade before bursting out through it. This made a light blue wing construct appear around the scythe blade. “Karma!” shouted Dante as he once more did hundreds of spinning slashes at speeds which made the scythe nothing but flashes of blue light. The construct kept shedding feathers that followed the scythe, appearing as nothing but streaks of light blue light which only added to the damage. Sparks flew from the three Lesser Blade Phantom’s before each of them was engulfed by an explosion.

Dante looked up as several Shielded Icarus Phantom’s appeared in the air and starting shooting crossbow bolts at him. [KICK STRIKE GO!] But Dante ran to the side, trailing light blue wind behind him as he ran circles around the Phantom’s which tried to hit him with no luck or success. Dante jumped off a crate that made up one of the walls and punched the Angel Ring into the back of Osiris’ blade. [THREE!] Which opened to reveal three light blue circles. [ANGEL SCYTHE STRIKE!] Dante backflipped as his right boot was covered in the light blue wind “Rake!” shouted Dante as his boot made contact with the back of a Shielded Icarus Phantom. It had not had time to turn and raise it’s shield so it exploded.

Dante landed back on the ground before turning to the last two Icarus Phantom’s. “Time to break through those shields!” he switched the Angel Ring for the Demon Ring and punched it into the left slot of his Driver. [SET!] Dante turned his wrist backwards, then forwards making his Driver’s gate open and close. [OPEN!] The demon magic circle appeared from his Driver. [A-R-B-I-T-E-R!] It passed back through Dante transforming him into the Demon Style. He pulled Arbiter off his back and punched the Demon Ring into the back of its blade. [ONE!] Which opened to reveal a single red circle. [DEMON AXE STRIKE!] Red energy gathered around Arbiter’s blade as Dante swung it down. This fired the energy off and said energy formed into a construct of a spinning axe blade which smashed into the shield of a Shielded Icarus Phantom. The shielded cracked down the middle and then fell into two pieces.

Dante would have grinned if he could as he fired another spinning axe head construct that smashed through the second Phantom’s shield. He pressed down on Arbiter’s trigger. [DEMON AXE STRIKE!] Dante spun around and swung Arbiter horizontally. Red energy that had been gathering around Arbiter was fired off in the form of a spinning energy construct that was shaped like an axe head. “Flush!” yelled Dante as the mana which the construct was emitting transformed into a pair of red demonic eye constructs. They shot forwards and paralyzed the two Phantoms which were cut into by the axe blade construct and exploded.

Suddenly, Dante heard the familiar sound of a chainsaw and glanced around to see a Ravager Phantom cutting itself up from the ground. The Phantom set itself on fire and dashed at Dante, cutting him across the chest plate. “ARGH!” shouted Dante as sparks flew, he was sent flying back and was only just able to grab a crate before he fell off the edge.

Dante glanced over his shoulder pauldron. “That was a bit close.” he pulled himself back up and punched the Demon Ring into the back of Arbiter’s blade. [FIVE!] Which opened to reveal five red circles. [DEMON AXE STRIKE!] Dante jumped into the air and swung Arbiter down. The Ravager Phantom raised its chainsaw and sparks flew as the two weapons met. Dante would have smirked smugly if he could. [DEMON AXE STRIKE!] Red energy roared through Arbiter’s shaft and up into the war axe’s blade making it blaze with demonic power. “Drop!” shouted Dante as with a screech of tortured metal Arbiter cut through the Ravager Phantom’s chainsaw and through the Phantom, leaving a glowing red gash. That injury sparked for several seconds before the Ravager Phantom fell over backwards and exploded.

Dante walked out of the explosion with Arbiter held over his shoulder pauldron. “Well, that’s my lot done,” he stated smugly as he walked towards the edge before glancing around to see where to go next. “You got your lot done as well?” he asked as Symbol walked up to him.

“I hate twin Frost Knight Phantoms!” snarled Symbol.

Dante winced at that. “Ouch!” one of those things was hard enough to beat. He shuddered at the thought of facing two.

While Dante had been having an easy fight, Symbol’s had been a bit harder. She was facing a pair of Death Knight Phantom, she jumped back as one of them brought its sword down towards her and rolled to the side as the other slashed at her. She pressed the right Shift Lever once. [MAGIC TOUCHIE GO!] Then Symbol scanned her right glove across the Wizard Driver’s Hand Author. [ICE MAGIC PLEASE!] Symbol placed her left glove against the ground and from which came a sheet of ice that covered the concrete. The two Death Knight Phantom’s slipped, one of them knocking into the other and sending it falling over the edge!

“Ok, now that is funny,” commented Symbol as the remaining Death Knight Phantom tried to get up with no luck. Symbol stood on the ice with ease as she swapped the Active Ring for the Giga Ring and pressed the left Shift Lever. [MAGICAL TOUCH HENSHIN!] She scanned her left glove across the Wizard Driver’s Hand Author. [GIGA PLEASE!] Then held said glove down to the ground. [BREAK THROUGH!] The giga magic circle appeared under her boots and rose up through Symbol, transforming her into the Giga Style. Symbol pressed the left Shift Lever once. [MAGICAL TOUCH SPELL!] Then scanned the Giga Ring across the Wizard Driver’s Hand Author. [GIGA C RANK SPELL!] Symbol ran forwards as she pulled back her dimly glowing right fist and slammed it into the Death Knight Phantom. Thanks to the ice having melted it was able to block with its shield, only for said means of defence to crack and crumble. Symbol fist impacted the Death Knight Phantom’s face and sent it flying into a crate.

Symbol quickly ran forwards, closing the distance. But thanks to the slow speed of the Giga Style, the Death Knight Phantom was able to regenerate its shield and block the attack. “Since when could you lot do that?!” shouted Symbol as she looked at the shield in shock. The Death Knight Phantom used the shield to force her off and slashed her in the chest plate several times making sparks fly. Symbol growled as she pressed the left Shift Lever three times. [MAGICAL TOUCH SPELL!] Then she scanned the Giga Ring across the Wizard Driver’s Hand Author. [GIGA A RANK SPELL!] The dull glow spread from her arm to her whole body as Symbol trapped the Death Knight Phantom’s sword against her body with her left arm and brought her right arm down in a karate chop, smashing the blade into shards of scrap metal.

Symbol then swung her right arm in a backhanded blow, ripping the Death Knight Phantoms shield from its grasp and sending it flying. Symbol pressed the left Shift Lever four times. [MAGICAL TOUCH GO!] She scanned the Giga Ring across the Wizard Driver’s Hand Author. [VERY NICE!] The green mana around her body got thicker. [GIGA! S RANK SPELL!] Then the mana started to pulse. [THE BEST!] The pulsing got quicker before: “Giga Embodiment!” Symbol threw out her arms as the magical energy pulsed outwards. The attack slammed into the Death Knight Phantom, sending it flying over the edge of the platform with sparks coming from its body. After about five seconds of the Death Knight Phantom being out of sight, there was thump and an explosion indication that the Phantom had slammed into the floor face first then exploded.

Symbol looked to her right as a Frost Knight burst from the ground, then she looked to the left and saw that another Frost Knight had appeared. “Just great,” she grumbled as she saw that Dante would not be able to help her. He was tied up in his own fight.

Symbol block an attack with her shoulder pauldron but quickly found ice starting to spread from it. She jumped back as she switched the Giga Ring for the Swift Ring and pressed the left Shift Lever. [MAGICAL TOUCH HENSHIN!] Symbol scanned her left glove across the Wizard Driver’s Hand Author. [SWIFT PLEASE!] She held that same glove up into the air, letting the swift magic circle appear. [DASH AWAY!] It fell through her, transforming Symbol into the Swift Style. She dodged three swings and then rolled to the side, avoiding a wave of ice before pressing the left Shift Lever twice. [MAGICAL TOUCH GO!] Then she scanned the Swift Ring. [SWIFT! B RANK SPELL!] Symbol was covered in yellow magical energy and time looked to have slowed down from her point of view. Symbol then pressed the left Shift Lever one more time. [MAGICAL TOUCH GO!] Then she scanned the Swift Ring once more. [SWIFT! C RANK SPELL!] Five orbs of yellow mana appeared around Symbol. “Boy, do I hope this works!” growled Symbol as the orbs were fired. Only they had been affected by the B command and moved much faster. The twin Frost Knight Phantoms were struck over and over brutally by the five orbs making a huge amount of sparks burst of their bodies.

“I hope that you stay down after that!” commented Symbol, only to be ignored as the two Frost Knight Phantom’s got back to their feet. “Of course I’m ignored!” growled Symbol. [MAGICAL TOUCH GO!] [SWIFT! B RANK SPELL!] She was covered in yellow mana again as she pressed the left Shift Lever four times. [MAGICAL TOUCH GO!] The Wizard Driver’s Hand Author reset. [VERY NICE!] Symbol scanned her left glove across it. [SWIFT! S RANK SPELL!] The yellow mana around her grew in power. [THE BEST!] Her visors glowed as Symbol sprinted forwards and started punched one of the Frost Knight Phantom’s as she blurred around it. “Swift Attack!” shouted Symbol as she attacked the Phantom from all sides before skidding to a halt. “How’d you like that!” she taunted the downed monster.

Suddenly, her left boot was frozen in a line of ice! “I got cocky!” shouted Symbol in anger as she was slashed across the back by the other Frost Knight Phantom, the ice around her leg broke but now frost covered her back plate and her left leg. “This is bad!” muttered Symbol as she pressed the left Shift Lever three times. [MAGICAL TOUCH GO!] Then she scanned the Swift Ring. [SWIFT! A RANK SPELL!] Symbol fired six beams of yellow mana in the formation of an inverted triangle from each of her gloves. They slammed into the Frost Knight Phantom’s sending the two of them skidding backwards from the force behind the beams.

With the time she had gained Symbol slid the Wing and Sniper Rings onto her right glove then pressed the right Shift Lever. [MAGIC TOUCHIE HENSHIN!] She scanned both of the rings across the Wizard Driver’s Hand Author. [WING SNIPER PLEASE!] Symbol threw her right glove into the air, letting the two magic circles appear over her helmet and fall through her, transforming her into the Swift Wing Sniper Style. Symbol pressed the right Shift Lever once. [MAGIC TOUCHIE GO!] She scanned her right glove across the Wizard Driver’s Hand Author. [WING MAGIC PLEASE!] Symbol gave the Flight Wings a hard flap, sending several feathers shooting off, they transformed into beams of silver magical energy that arced through the air and slammed into the Phantom’s making explosions and sparks detonated around them. The heat from the explosions also had a side effect: It melted the frost that had been creeping over Symbol. “That’s better,” she sighed in bliss now that she was free.

Symbol pulled open the Swift Blaster’s Hand Author. [COME ON A BLAST SHAKE HANDS!] Then she scanned the Swift Ring over it. [SWIFT! BLASTER STRIKE!] Yellow energy gathered around the Swift Blaster as it charged. “Bullet Barrage!” shouted Symbol as she pulled the trigger. Out of the Swift Blaster’s barrel roared a barrage of yellow mana bullets which slammed into one of the Frost Knight Phantoms making sparks and micro explosions explodes from its body until the Phantom itself exploded.

“That did the trick,” muttered Symbol. “ARGH!” sparks exploded out of her back plate as she was slashed across the back by the other Frost Knight Phantom. “I forgot about you!” grunted Symbol as she turned around, only to be slashed again, this time across the chest plate. She tried to move away from the third slash but the frost which was spreading over her body had slowed her down by a huge amount. Meaning that the attack landed, making the frost creep over her further.

Just before Symbol was frozen over she was able to transform the Swift Blaster into the Swift Dagger and pull open its Hand Author. [COME ON A HIT SHAKE HANDS!] She scanned the Swift Ring across it. [SWIFT! STAB STRIKE!] The dagger part of the Swift Dagger blazed with energy as Symbol threw it into the air as she froze over completely. The Frost Knight Phantom gave her a dry look as it glanced up at the Swift Dagger before taking one step back. The Swift Dagger stabbed into the ground tip first where the Phantom had just been standing. The Frost Knight Phantom moved to shatter Symbol, then the Swift Dagger exploded! The mana around it arcing outwards in a dome that slammed into the Frost Knight’s back, sending it flying forwards and causing yellow lightning to crackle across its body before it exploded. The force and heat of the explosion defrosted Symbol.

She shook herself as she tried to warm up. “Brrrr, that didn’t work as I hoped, but I’ll take what I can get,” she reached down and grabbed the Swift Dagger as it repaired itself before moving towards Dante.

This brings us up to now.

Dante turned Arbiter’s handle. [GRAPPLE MODE!] Transforming it into the Demon Pull, which he used to pull a crate from a wall. This made a pair of improvised steps which the two of them jumped up.

[MAGICAL TOUCH HENSHIN!] [ACTIVE PLEASE!] [LET’S GO!] Symbol transformed back into the Active Style before sliding the Boost and Defend Rings onto her right glove then pressing the right Shift Lever. [MAGIC TOUCHIE HENSHIN!] She scanned her right glove across the Wizard Driver’s Hand Author. [BOOST DEFEND PLEASE!] Symbol held her right glove out to the side and the two magic circles appeared before moving through her. Symbol grabbed Dante and jumped to a rock, then to another rock before leaping to a third rock and from that rock onto a platform.

“Here we go!” shouted Symbol as she jumped to the next rock. Dante used the Demon Pull to rip open a container door.

[MAGICAL TOUCH HENSHIN!] [SWIFT PLEASE!] [DASH AWAY!] Symbol transformed into the Swift Style. [MAGIC TOUCHIE HENSHIN!] [WING SNIPER PLEASE!] Then into the Swift Wing Sniper Style and gave her Flight Wings a hard flap to propel them into the container.

The two Kamen Riders ran through the container into an arena that was walled by containers. Which suddenly flew from their shelves moving so that several of them blocked off the top of the arena meaning that there was no way out.

The floor cracked as a new Phantom pulled itself up from the ground. It was identical to the Death Knight Phantom’s only unlike the white Frost Knight Phantom this one was red and on fire!

“Hell Knight Phantom it is,” stated Symbol.

“Hey, can you point us to the mixing room?” asked Dante as he charged. Already having guessed that since this Phantom was red, only red weapons would work on it. He punched the Demon Ring into the back of Arbiter’s blade. [THREE!] Which opened to reveal three red circles. [DEMON AXE STRIKE!] Red energy flashed along the blade as Dante brought it around in a downwards swing. The Hell Knight Phantom blocked but it’s legs buckled. Dante swung Arbiter in a horizontal arc which was blocked but the Hell Knight Phantom staggered from the force. Dante slashed Arbiter upwards, making sparks fly as the Hell Knight Phantom had been unable to recover in time. “Yes! It works!” shouted Dante, not noticing the Hell Knight Phantom stabbing its sword into the ground.

Symbol’s visors widened as she saw flaming red cracks started to spread through the ground in a circle with the Hell Knight’s sword being the centre point of it. “DANTE MOVE!” she screamed. [MAGICAL TOUCH GO!] [SWIFT! B RANK SPELL!] Symbol was covered in yellow mana and blurred forwards. She grabbed Dante and pulled him out of the circle, but was not able to get herself out in time.

“Sunset what the-?!” demanded Dante in confusion before the circle exploded in flames. “RUBY!” he screamed. Symbol came tumbling out of the circle, rolling across the ground to put out the flames on her body as sparks flew from her armour.

Dante looked at the Hell Knight Phantom with an enraged expression. “DIE!” he punched the Demon Ring into the back of Arbiter's blade. [FOUR!] Which opened to reveal four red circles. [DEMON AXE STRIKE!] Red energy gathered around Arbiter's blade. [DEMON AXE STRIKE!] The energy grew in power as Dante slammed Arbiter down on the ground, unleashing nine pulses of red energy that sent the Hell Knight Phantom skidding backwards.

[THREE!] [DEMON AXE STRIKE!] The Hell Knight Phantom looked up. [DEMON AXE STRIKE!] Just in time to see Arbiter arcing towards its face. It blocked with its sword but the afterimage of red mana that was following the axe slammed into its face. It staggered back and was unable to block the following two swings from both the axe and its after image.

Dante punched the Demon Ring into the back of Arbiter's blade. [TWO!] Which opened to reveal a pair of red circles. [DEMON AXE STRIKE!] Dante jumped into the air as he punched the Demon Ring into his Driver’s left slot. [GO! KICK STRIKE!] Red energy covered his right boot as he came shooting down. “Drop!” the Hell Knight Phantom blocked with its sword only for the said weapon to shatter. Sparks flew from its body as Dante's boot made contact before the Hell Knight Phantom was consumed by a giant explosion.

At that moment a second Hell Knight Phantom burst out of the ground and ran at Dante, while ten Lesser Blade Phantoms and five Blade Phantoms appeared before running at Symbol.

“I’ll take care of this lot!” shouted Symbol. “You deal with fire breath!” she jerked back to avoid a slash from a Lesser Blade Phantom then jumped on the head of a second Lesser Blade Phantom, using it as a springboard.

“Got it!” shouted Dante as he jumped back. [ONE!] Energy started charging around Arbiter. [DEMON AXE STRIKE!] Dante swung the red axe down and fired the energy off in a spinning construct of an axe head. It slammed into the Hell Knight Phantom and cracked its shield before a second and third construct forced the shield to shatter into hundreds of pieces.

Dante punched the Demon Ring into the back of Arbiter’s blade. [TWO!] Which opened to reveal a pair of red circles. [DEMON AXE STRIKE!] Dante pulled back Arbiter and slammed it into the ground, out of it came two lines of red energy that moved around and closed in on the Hell Knight Phantom. The Phantom quickly stabbed its sword into the ground making a circle of red cracks appear around it. Just before the lines reached it the cracks exploded in a circle of fire that intermixed with Dante’s energy, stopping his attack.

[THREE!] Dante growled as he ran forwards. [DEMON AXE STRIKE!] He swung Arbiter’s blade around in three strikes, the first one was blocked, but the second made the Hell Knight Phantom stagger before being hit in the face and stunned. [GO! KICK STRIKE!] Dante covered his right and left boots in red energy before kicking the Hell Knight Phantom with his right boot, then cutting across with his left boot. He jumped back and then ran forwards kicking the Hell Knight Phantom with a flying kick from both of his boots that made sparks burst from the Phantom’s chest where the boots had made contact with it.

[TWO!] [DEMON AXE STRIKE!] Seeing that it was still standing Dante changed Arbiter’s setting and punched the Demon Ring into his Driver’s left slot. [DEMON AXE STRIKE!] Dante jumped into the air and stomped on the ground as he came back down. “Tremor!” a wave of red energy erupted from the ground where he had stomped and roared towards the Hell Knight Phantom. The energy transformed into a pair of walls that slammed closed around the Phantom.

“That should do it,” muttered Dante.

Right before both of the wall had fire leaking out of them and exploded, revealing the Hell Knight Phantom was still alive. It had red lightning crackling across its body with sparks bleeding from the damage.

Dante held down on Arbiter's trigger. [GO! KICK STRIKE!] Red energy ran up the handle and into the blade as Dante pulled it up and slammed it into the ground. A crescent of red energy exploded from it and roared forwards. “Drive!” shouted Dante as the attack slammed into the Hell Knight Phantom and caused the thing to explode.

[MAGICAL TOUCH GO!] Yellow mana covered Symbol’s body. [SWIFT! B RANK SPELL!] She blurred to the side, avoiding a slash from one of the Lesser Blade Phantom’s and kicked it in the gut. Her boot was moving at such speed that when the kinetic force was transferred the Lesser Blade Phantom went flying into an identical Phantom and both of them exploded.

Symbol jumped into the air, pressing down on the right Shift Lever twice. [MAGIC TOUCHIE GO!] Then she scanned her right glove across the Wizard Driver’s Hand Author. [SNIPER MAGIC PLEASE!] Symbol pulled out the Sniper Shooter and fired a single blue bullet that spiralled through the air and pierced through two of the Lesser Blade Phantom’s before being stopped by a third. All three of them fell over and exploded.

Symbol landed on the ground and was struck in the back by a Blade Phantom. She had not fully recovered from the damaged the Hell Knight Phantom had done to her and fell over, letting the ten Phantom’s attack her from all sides.

[MAGICAL TOUCH HENSHIN!] [GIGA PLEASE!] [BREAK THROUGH!] Only to be forced back as the giga magic circle rose up through Symbol. She added the Punch and Drill Rings to her right index and ring fingers before pressing the right Shift Lever. [MAGIC TOUCHIE HENSHIN!] Then she scanned her right glove across the Wizard Driver’s Hand Author. [PUNCH DRILL PLEASE!] The two magic circles appeared under Symbol’s boots and rose up through her, transforming her into the Giga Punch Drill Style. She pressed the right Shift Lever once. [MAGIC TOUCHIC GO!] Then scanned her left glove across it. [PUNCH MAGIC PLEASE!] The drills on the Punch Drillers started to spin as Symbol charged forwards and punched two of the Lesser Blade Phantoms. Sparks flew from their bodies as cracks spread through them until they both exploded.

Symbol spun around. “ARGH! Just in time to be slashed across the chest plate by a pair of Blade Phantom’s. “Take this!” Symbol pressed the right Shift Lever once. [MAGIC TOUCHIC GO!] Then scanned her right glove across the Wizard Driver’s Hand Author. [DRILL MAGIC PLEASE!] The drills on her Punch Drillers spun as she pulled them back and slammed them into the ground. Making a wall of earth burst from the metal floor. This had happened just as the two Blade Phantom’s slashed again, blocking both of their attacks. Symbol pressed the right Shift Lever four times. [MAGIC TOUCHIC GO!] The Wizard Driver’s Hand Author reset. [VERY NICE!] Symbol scanned the Drill and Punch Rings across it. [PUNCH DRILL MAGIC!] The drills on the Punch Drillers roared to life as Symbol pulled them back. [THE BEST!] She punched the drills into the wall and pulled it from the ground. “Wall Charge!” shouted Symbol as using the wall as a club she crushed the two Blade Phantom’s and the remaining three Lesser Blade Phantoms making each of them explode.

With three Blade Phantom’s left Symbol pressed the right Shift Lever three times. [MAGIC TOUCHIC GO!] She scanned her right glove across the Wizard Driver’s Hand Author. [PUNCH DRILL MAGIC PLEASE!] Flames and purple mana appeared around her arms before the Punch Drillers started to spin, making the flames also start to spin forming into a pair of red and purple drills around her arms. [MAGIC TOUCHIC GO!] The flames around her right arm were pulled into her left arm. [VERY NICE!] Making that drill get much thinner and longer. [PUNCH DRILL MAGIC!] Suddenly, it balloon in size. [THE BEST!] Symbol ran forwards. “Merged Giga Drill Breaker!” she screamed as she rammed the drill through all three of the Blade Phantom’s making each of them erupt in an explosion which destroyed them.

Then a Tyrant Phantom burst from the ground.

“I should have known that one of you was going to show up soon,” muttered Symbol as she moved to fight the Tyrant Phantom.

[MAGIC TOUCHIC GO!] Symbol pulled back her fists as the Tyrant Phantom charged before punching them into the ground. [DRILL MAGIC PLEASE!] The Tyrant Phantom swung at Symbol only for a wall of solid rock to appear in front of its fist, stopping the attack cold. The Phantom gave a frustrated growl and after two more punches, the wall was shattered into fragments.

[MAGIC TOUCHIC GO!] But while it was in recovery. [PUNCH MAGIC PLEASE!] Symbol ran out from behind the walls remains and punched the Tyrant Phantom in the back. Sparks flew as the Punch Drillers painfully ground into the Tyrant Phantom’s back. The flames were doing just as much damage to the Phantom.

The Tyrant Phantom roared in pain as it stumbled forwards and swung its arm back, backhanding Symbol. But she was able to block with the Punch Drillers.

She flew through the air and landed on the ground, before sliding several paces and slamming into the wall of the arena. Before Symbol had a chance to get back up a shadow fell over her. She looked up. “YOU HAVE GOT TO BE KIDDING ME!” she screamed as she saw the Tyrant belly flopping onto her. [MAGIC TOUCHIC GO!] The Tyrant Phantom slammed down. [PUNCH MAGIC PLEASE!] After a few seconds it was forced back up. Symbol was revealed to have set her gloves on fire and was holding the heavy Phantom over her helmet with great difficulty. “You really need to go on a diet!” she muttered as she threw the Phantom off.

[MAGIC TOUCHIC GO!] The drills on the Puncher Drillers started to spin. [VERY NICE!] They picked up speed. [PUNCH DRILL MAGIC!] Before bursting into brilliant bright red flames. [THE BEST!] Symbol pulled back her fists. “Flame Lance!” then punched forwards. The flames flew off and transformed into ten drill-shaped lances that spiralled around each other before merging into a single giant flaming lance that slammed into the Tyrant Phantom which had just gotten back to its feet. It blocked the attack with its hands but was quickly being driven back as the powerful flames ground out sparks from the Phantom’s limbs.

[MAGICAL TOUCH HENSHIN!] Symbol ran through the active magic circle. [ACTIVE PLEASE!] Transforming into the Active Style. [LET’S GO!] She pressed the left Shift Lever. [MAGICAL TOUCH GO!] Then scanned the Active Ring across the Wizard Driver’s Hand Author. [ACTIVE! A RANK SPELL!] Her body was covered in red lightning as she ran at full speed, blurring around behind the Tyrant Phantom as she pulled open the Active Blade’s Hand Author. [COME ON A SLASH SHAKE HANDS!] Then she scanned the Active Ring across it. [ACTIVE! SLASH STRIKE!] Red lightning covered the Active Blade. “Red Slash!” bellowed Symbol as she swung it down. A crescent of red lightning was fired from the sword that slammed into the back of the Tyrant Phantom. Which roared in pain flinging its arms to the side. Three of the lances were dispelled but the other seven slammed into the Phantom with huge explosions, making it fall over from the amount of damage it had taken. Symbol then slashed the Tyrant Phantom twice with the Active Blade which was all that was needed to push it over the edge and explode.

“How do we get out of here?” asked Dante after looking around for a few seconds.

“This way!”

Dante turned to see Symbol run out of an opening. “Sunset, wait for me!” he ran after her and they jumped up a flight of crates that were positioned like makeshift stairs. Dante arrived to see Symbol looking at something on the other end of a void. “What are you looking at?” he asked.

“Over there,” pointed Symbol.

Dante looked and after a second saw four brown veins going into a tunnel. “That must be the way back to the mixing room,” he stated.

[MAGIC TOUCHIE HENSHIN!] “I thought that too,” replied Symbol as she transformed. [ICE BIND PLEASE!] Orange mana gathered around the Grapple Gauntlet. [MAGIC TOUCHIE GO!] Symbol threw her arm forwards. [BIND MAGIC PLEASE!] Firing a chain that pulled a shelf close enough to jump too.

As she was doing that three Icarus Phantom’s appeared around them.

[GRAPPLE MODE!] Dante transformed the Arbiter Axe into the Demon Pull and used it to yank all three of the Phantom’s into axe range. Then he turned the handle. [AXE MODE!] Transforming the Demon Pull back into the Arbiter Axe. [THREE!] [DEMON AXE STRIKE!] Dante swung Arbiter in a horizontal arc, cutting through all three Icarus Phantom’s, making a glowing red line appear through them as sparks exploded from the line before the Phantom’s themselves exploded.

“Woah!” shouted Dante as Symbol pulled on the chain, making the platform them were on rocket forwards. “A little warning next time!”

“I didn’t know it was going to do that!” defended Symbol. “Besides, now we’re even.”

[SET!] Dante growled. [OPEN!] He ran through the angel magic circle. [O-S-I-R-I-S!] Before tackling Symbol as he kicked the air behind him. [KICK STRIKE GO!] Dante was covered in the light blue wind as they both went shooting off the platform and into the next four.

[MAGIC TOUCHIE HENSHIN!] “Dante you jerk!” shouted Symbol. [BOOST DEFEND PLEASE!] She pressed the right Shift Lever once. [MAGIC TOUCHIE GO!] Then scanned her right glove across the Wizard Driver’s Hand Author. [BOOST MAGIC PLEASE!] Purple mana ran into the Boost Grieves as she jumped into the air and landed on a higher platform.

“Payback’s a bitch!” shouted Dante. [HOOK MODE!] He followed after his sister.

[MAGIC TOUCHIE HENSHIN!] [ICE BIND PLEASE!] Dante landed just in time to see Symbol switch out Substyles. [MAGIC TOUCHIE GO!] [BIND MAGIC PLEASE!] Then she fired a chain of orange energy that pulled a crate from a shelf. The two of them jumped to it. Then they jumped up two more shelves and landed near the door which the four rust-coloured vein/pipes lead into.

Then a Hell Knight Phantom, as well as a Frost Knight Phantom, burst from the ground.

Suddenly, a bright light shone from Symbol’s left fingers. “Already?!” she shouted as she covered her visors. “Normally I have to fight and start to lose before getting a new Substyle!” shouted Symbol.

“Must be because you're still healing from the fight against Wiseman!” shouted Dante. “As you recover the process get’s fast and faster!”

[MAGICAL TOUCH HENSHIN!] The giga magic circle appeared. [GIGA PLEASE!] Then it rose up through Symbol transforming her into the Giga Style. [BREAK THROUGH!] As the transformation finished, Symbol was able to see the new rings on her right index and ring fingers. The index ring was green with a grey gem in the centre of it that had a black hammer etched into it. The second ring was green with an orange gem in the centre of it that had a yellow crack logo engraved into it.

“Let’s give these a shot!” Symbol pressed the right Shift Lever. [MAGIC TOUCHIE HENSHIN!] Then she scanned her right glove across the Wizard Driver’s Hand Author. [HAMMER QUAKE PLEASE!] Symbol held her right glove down to the ground and two new magic circles appeared. The first was a black hammer logo inside a black square inside a black eight-pointed star, inside a black two layered square, between the two layers was black runic text. The second magic circle was an orange crack logo, within an orange square within an orange eight-pointed star, within an orange two layered square, between the two layers was yellow runic text.

Both of the magic circles rose up through Symbol, transforming her into the new Giga Substyle. Her boots turned burnt orange and the armour on them became thicker. Her anklets turned into solid dark yellow armour with a sharp upwards pointing triangle in the centre of them. Her shin armour turned dark orange before expanding so that it circled around each of her lower legs. The knee armour turned dark yellow and transformed into a dark yellow diamond. Dark orange armour appeared around her upper legs, it was identical to her lower leg armour. The armour on the back of Symbol’s right glove turned black and became much more solid. Her right wristlet transformed into a black thick bracer and her right forearm guard went under the same process. Her forearm turned grey and her right shoulder pauldron turned black before shifting into the shape of a square with the two upper outside corners extending outwards. The bronze square in the centre of her chest plate turned into a pair of block logos, one was a black hammer logo and the other an orange crack shaped logo. A grey bell hammer appeared in her right glove, it had an orange piston on each side that was shaped like a square and a black shaft. This is the Piston Hammer. Kamen Rider Symbol had transformed into her Giga Hammer Quake Style.

“Nice!” chirped Symbol as she looked at the Piston Hammer. She ran forwards as the Hell Knight Phantom stabbed its sword into the ground. Cracks spread through the ground as it started to leak flames in a circle. “Not this time!” shouted Symbol as she pressed the right Shift Lever twice. [MAGIC TOUCHIC GO!] Then she scanned her right glove across the Wizard Driver’s Hand Author. [QUAKE MAGIC PLEASE!] The pistons on the Piston Hammer pulled back as Symbol raised the weapon up and then slammed it into the ground. Spikes of earth burst out of the ground around her in a circle. Several of them stabbed into the Hell Knight Phantom, making it lose its focus and stagger back with sparks coming from it.

Symbol pressed the right Shift Lever four times. [MAGIC TOUCHIC GO!] The Wizard Driver’s Hand Author reset. [VERY NICE!] She scanned her right glove across it. [HAMMER QUAKE MAGIC!] The Piston Hammer was covered by orange mana. [THE BEST!] The pistons pulled back as Symbol slammed the Piston Hammer into the ground. “Rock Rush!” she shouted as several rocks rose up from the ground, they were covered in orange mana and sent shooting forwards at the Hell Knight Phantom. Which blocked with its shield only for the shield to crack and shatter.

“Let’s keep up the pressure!” shouted Symbol as she pressed the right Shift Lever once. [MAGIC TOUCHIC GO!] Then she scanned her right glove across the Wizard Driver’s Hand Author. [HAMMER MAGIC PLEASE!] Symbol ran forwards and brought the Piston Hammer around, slamming it into the sword of the Hell Knight Phantom. Unseen by Symbol a crack spread through the sword as she pulled back and was slashed across the chest plate, making sparks fly.

“ARGH!” grunted Symbol as she clutched her chest plate. She pressed the right Shift Lever three times. [MAGIC TOUCHIC GO!] Then scanned her right glove across the Wizard Driver’s Hand Author. [HAMMER QUAKE MAGIC PLEASE!] She spun the Piston Hammer three times as black and orange mana gathered around it. The pistons pulled back as Symbol slammed the Piston Hammer into the ground, sending out a shockwave of orange and black energy which slammed into the Hell Knight Phantom as it tried to block with its sword, but was sent flying backwards as a second crack appeared in the sword.

This time Symbol saw it. “Is that-?” she quickly understood what she was seeing. “Perfect!” shouted Symbol as she ran forwards. [MAGIC TOUCHIC GO!] The pistons pulled back. [VERY NICE!] Orange mana covered the Piston Hammer. [HAMMER QUAKE MAGIC!] Black mana joined the orange mana. [THE BEST!] Symbol swung the Piston Hammer down. “Downfall Hammer!” she shouted. The Piston Hammer impacted the ground and fired, creating a ball of black and orange mana Symbol then used the Piston Hammer to send it flying. It impacted the sword of the Hell Knight Phantom and caused it to shatter into pieces.

The Hell Knight Phantom staggered backwards and Symbol knew that it might have the ability to regenerate its weapons. [MAGIC TOUCHIE HENSHIN!] “I’m not going to chance it!” she muttered as she changed forms. [PUNCH DRILL PLEASE!] Symbol jumped into the air. [MAGIC TOUCHIC GO!] [PUNCH MAGIC PLEASE!] She came down with her right fist on fire and slammed it into the Hell Knight Phantom making sparks explode off its body. [MAGIC TOUCHIC GO!] The drills on the Punch Drillers started to spin. [VERY NICE!] Then they burst into flames. [PUNCH DRILL MAGIC!] Symbol pulled back her fists. [THE BEST!] Then she threw them forwards, firing five flame lances off each fist. “Fire Lance!” she screamed. The flames turned into ten drills of fire that spiralled around each other into a giant drill that slammed into the Hell Knight Phantom’s chest and made sparks explode from it.

Seeing that it hadn’t gone down Symbol muttered. “This thing is rather tough!” then she saw that Hell Knight Phantom’s sword repair itself. [MAGIC TOUCHIC GO!] “Sometimes I hate being right!” muttered Symbol as the drills on the Punch Drillers started to spin. [DRILL MAGIC PLEASE!] She pulled back her arms and slammed her fists into the ground. Out of which a rock wall exploded, blocking the blade of the Hell Knight Phantom. [MAGIC TOUCHIC GO!] Symbol started to build up power. [VERY NICE!] She pulled back her fist. [PUNCH DRILL MAGIC!] Before slamming it into the rock wall. [THE BEST!] The wall went shooting forwards and slammed into the Hell Knight Phantom. “Wall Charge!” shouted Symbol as the Phantom was smashed into a wall. Then she realised something. “Shoot! I should have done it the other way and that thing would have fallen off the edge!” she shouted.

The Hell Knight Phantom stabbed it’s blade into the ground once more. Cracks started to spread out from the point which the sword was stabbed into, forming a circle around the Hell Knight Phantom that was quickly expanding. [MAGIC TOUCHIC GO!] [DRILL MAGIC PLEASE!] But it was cut off when Symbol punched the ground and made a wall of earth burst from the ground, shielding Symbol. She ran forwards and threw the Hell Knight Phantom off the edge. Symbol glanced over the edge as the Phantom fell, spiralling over and over as it struggled to grab onto something. Cracks started to spread through its body before the Hell Knight Phantom exploded.

“You are not a very nice person,” stated Dante as he ran up.

“Like your one to talk!” snipped back Symbol.

While Symbol had been battling against the Hell Knight Phantom, Dante had been locked in a fight with the Frost Knight Phantom.

[HOOK MODE!] He hooked the Angel Lift onto the Phantom and yanked himself towards it. Midway through the attack, he turned the handle of the Angel Lift. [SCYTHE MODE!] Transforming it back into Osiris as he punched his Angel Ring into the back of its blade. [SIX!] Dante zoomed forwards. [ANGEL SCYTHE STRIKE!] He slashed around with Osiris ending on a forwards stab that rammed Osiris into the gut of the Frost Knight Phantom making sparks fly from it. Dante jumped back and punched the Angel Ring into the left slot of his Driver. [KICK STRIKE GO!] He ran forwards as his right boot trailed light blue wind. “Streak!” Dante shouted as he kicked the Frost Knight Phantom in the gut, it staggered backwards with sparks coming from the impact point before stabbing its sword into the ground, firing a line of ice at Dante.

Who rolled to the side. “Close one,” he commented as he punched the Angel Ring into the back of Osiris again. [THREE!] Dante jumped over the next line of ice as Osiris’ blade opened to reveal three light blue circles. [ANGEL SCYTHE STRIKE!] He used the scythe as a fishing hook to pull the Frost Knight Phantom into the air where it was helpless as he slashed away at the Phantom, Osiris was moving so fast that it looked like nothing but a streak of blue light.

The Frost Knight Phantom fell back to the ground as Dante pressed down on Osiris’ trigger. [ANGEL SCYTHE STRIKE!] He spun the scythe several times as light blue mana formed into feather constructs. Dante swung the scythe down. “Rake!” shouted Dante as the feathers shot down, forming a pillar which then broke into pieces, sending the Phantom flying into the air with sparks coming from its body.

While the Frost Knight Phantom was in the air and thus helpless, Dante punched the Angel Ring into the back of Osiris’ blade. [ONE!] The blade opened to reveal a single light blue circle. [ANGEL SCYTHE STRIKE!] Dante spun, slashing the Frost Knight Phantom several times with Osiris, the blade of which appeared as a circle of light blue light that surrounded Dante. Seeing a chance to do more damage he pressed down on Osiris’ trigger. [ANGEL SCYTHE STRIKE!] Light blue mana gathered around the blade and formed around it in a wing construct. The feathers shot off and surrounded Dante as he spun, forming a second, third and fourth circle around Osiris that multiplied the damaged several times over.

Sadly, as Dante fell back to the ground the Frost Knight Phantom was still alive and in one piece. “This thing is tough!” muttered Dante as he punched the Angel Ring into his Driver’s left slot. [KICK STRIKE GO!] Dante jumped into the air and came down in a spinning kick that slammed into the Frost Knight Phantom’s sword. The Phantom was able to block the kick but sparks still came from its body as it was damaged by the wind surrounding the boot. The Frost Knight Phantom surged as it forced Dante back with a single hard shove from its blade.

Dante backflipped through the air and landed on the ground with a bit of ice clinging to his body. “Brrr!” he shivered. “That’s cold,” muttered Dante, then he saw the Frost Knight Phantom charging at him. “No you don’t!” he pressed down on Osiris’ trigger. [ANGEL SCYTHE STRIKE!] Dante spun Osiris several times before ripping the scythe up through the ground. “Drive!” he shouted as Osiris fired a vertical crescent of angelic mana which roared towards the Frost Knight Phantom. Said Phantom blocked with its sword but was still sent skidding backwards before dispelling the attack.

Dante saw that it was still in recovery and pressed the Angel Ring into the back of Osiris’ blade. [FIVE!] Which then opened to reveal five light blue circles.  [ANGEL SCYTHE STRIKE!] Dante ran forwards and performed half a dozen slashes on the Frost Knight Phantom in less time than what it took to breathe. He punched the Angel Ring into his Driver’s left slot. [KICK STRIKE GO!] Light blue wind wrapped around Dante’s right boot as he jumped into the air, flipped once and came down with an axe kick that slammed into the Frost Knight’s blade and shattered it when the Phantom used its weapon to block.

Dante could see from the number of sparks that the Frost Knight Phantom needed only one more attack to finish it off. “Almost there!” he muttered as he punched the Angel Ring into the back of Osiris’ blade. [FOUR!] The blade opened to reveal four light blue circles. [ANGEL SCYTHE STRIKE!] Dante took up a crouched stance as light blue energy was charged into Osiris. Deciding to be safe, Dante slammed his glove down on Osiris’ trigger. [ANGEL SCYTHE STRIKE!] The light blue energy grew in power. “Raze!” screamed Dante as he jumped into the air spinning. Osiris generated a tornado of light blue wind that cut into the Frost Knight Phantom as Dante jumped into the air while spinning, pulling the Phantom with him. The Frost Knight Phantom was flung over the edge of the platform and then exploded.

Dante ran up to Symbol and the two of them ran into the corridor. They followed it around to the left, then to the right, into a room that they were suddenly, sealed into.

“I’m almost insulted,” commented Symbol as a number of Lesser Blade Phantom’s burst from the ground.

“Just start fighting!” ordered Dante as he punched the Angel Ring into the back of Osiris’ blade. [ONE!] Which then opened to reveal a single light blue circle. [ANGEL SCYTHE STRIKE!] Dante started to spin around, cutting into several of the Lesser Blade Phantom’s with the scythe. After a few seconds, he saw that several of them had micro explosions going off around their bodies so he pressed down on Osiris’ trigger. [ANGEL SCYTHE STRIKE!] Light blue energy covered Osiris then formed into a wing construct around the scythe’s blade. Dante started spinning once more. “Karma!” he shouted, the feathers flew off and formed three circles of light as they followed Osiris’ blistering fast path, causing all five of the Lesser Blade Phantom’s to fall over with lightning crackling over them before they exploded.

Symbol switched the Giga Ring for the Swift Ring and pressed the Wizard Driver’s left Shift Lever. [MAGICAL TOUCH HENSHIN!] Then she scanned the Swift Ring across the Wizard Driver’s Hand Author. [SWIFT PLEASE!] She threw her left glove into the air and the swift magic circle appeared over her helmet before falling through her. [DASH AWAY!] Symbol pressed the left Shift Lever twice. [MAGICAL TOUCH GO!] Then scanned the Swift Ring. [SWIFT! B RANK SPELL!] Five Lesser Blade Phantom’s jumped into the air and came down towards Symbol, before she vanished, appearing several paces away as the Phantom’s landed back on the ground. Symbol flicked the Swift Dagger and sparks burst from the Lesser Blade Phantom’s painfully. She pressed the left Shift Lever four times. [MAGICAL TOUCH GO!] The Wizard Driver’s Hand Author reset. [VERY NICE!] Symbol scanned her left glove. [SWIFT! S RANK SPELL!] Yellow mana built up around her body. [THE BEST!] Before Symbol vanished. “Swift Attack!” came her loud shout from everywhere and nowhere before all of the Lesser Blade Phantom’s exploded.

Dante swapped the Angel Ring for the Nephilim Ring and punched it into his Drivers’ left slot. [SET!] He turned his wrist back, then turn it forwards, making his Driver’s gate open and close. [OPEN!] The nephilim magic circle appeared and moved back through her. [N-E-P-H-I-L-I-M!] Transforming Dante into the Nephilim Style. Dante punched the Nephilim Ring into the back of the Rebellion Blade. [SIX!] The mouth opened. [NEPHILIM SABER STRIKE!] Dante stabbed one of the Blade Phantom’s fast enough that his arm was a blur and it was sent staggering backwards, stunned.

Then Dante pressed the Rebellion Blade’s trigger. [NEPHILIM SABER STRIKE!] Dante slashed the sword once, firing a wave of red and blue energy in the shape of a crescent. “Drive!” it smashed into the second Blade Phantom and caused it to explode.

Dante turned back to the other Lesser Blade Phantom and punched the Nephilim Ring into the back of the Rebellion Blade’s handle. [ONE!] The mouth opened to reveal a single red and blue circle. [NEPHILIM SABER STRIKE!] Then Dante pressed the trigger. [NEPHILIM SABER STRIKE!] He pulled back the Rebellion Blade as it was covered in red and blue energy. “High Time!” Dante slashed upwards, cutting the Blade Phantom in half and causing it to explode.

Symbol replaced the Swift Ring with Active Ring and pressed the left Shift Lever. [MAGICAL TOUCH HENSHIN!] She scanned the Active Ring across the Wizard Driver’s Hand Author. [ACTIVE PLEASE!] Before holding her left glove out to the side and letting the active magic circle pass through her. [LET’S GO!] Symbol pulled open the Active Blade’s Hand Author. [COME ON A SLASH SHAKE HANDS!] Then scanned the Active Ring across it. [ACTIVE! SLASH STRIKE!] Red lightning built up in the Active Blade. “Red Slash!” as Symbol slashed across, the two Blade Phantom’s, cutting a red line through the both of them that sparked with red lightning as they both exploded.

Dante saw a Ravager Phantom saw its way out of the ground and swapped the Nephilim Ring for the Demon Ring before punching it into his Driver’s left slot. [SET!] He turned his wrist back making the Driver’s gate close before turning it forwards to make his Driver’s gate open. [OPEN!] The demon magic circle appeared from his Driver and moved back through Dante. [A-R-B-I-T-E-R!] He pulled Arbiter off his back and punched the Demon Ring into the back of his blade. [ONE!] The blade then opened to reveal a single red circle. [DEMON AXE STRIKE!] Dante spun Arbiter around as he pressed down on its trigger. [DEMON AXE STRIKE!] Red energy gathered around Arbiter as he slashed down, forming an energy construct of a spinning axe head as he punched the Demon Ring into his Driver’s left slot. [GO! KICK STRIKE!] Red mana gathered around Dante’s right boot as he spun around and kicked the construct. “Mega Flush!” he shouted as the construct surged in power then surged forwards, slamming into the chainsaw of the Ravager Phantom as it tried to block. But with less than half a second delay, the chainsaw snapped in two followed by a red vertical line being sawed into the Ravager Phantom before it went up in a giant explosion.

Symbol was also confronted by a Ravager Phantom and growled as she switched the Active Ring for the Giga Ring then pressed the left Shift Lever. [MAGICAL TOUCH HENSHIN!] Symbol scanned the Giga Ring. [GIGA PLEASE!] The magic circle appeared under her boots and rose up through Symbol. [BREAK THROUGH!] She grabbed the Giga Axe and pulled open its Hand Author. [COME ON A SMASH SHAKE HANDS!] Before scanning the Giga Ring across it. [GIGA SMASH STRIKE!] Green energy gathered around the Giga Axe as Symbol sidestepped the Ravager Phantom which had set itself on fire and charged. “Giga Strike!” Symbol brought the Giga Axe down on the Ravager Phantom’s back as it lost its protective coat of fire. The Giga Axe cut a glowing green coloured vertical line in the Ravager Phantom which then fell over and exploded.

Dante meanwhile had to deal with a Hell Knight Phantom. Thankfully he was already in Demon Style. He pulled out the Arbiter Axe and turned its handle. [GRAPPLE MODE!] It transformed into the Demon Pull and Dante used the grapple to rob the Hell Knight Phantom of its shield before turning the handle once more. [AXE MODE!] The Demon Pull transformed back into the Arbiter Axe. “No you don’t!” shouted Dante as he saw the Hell Knight Phantom pull up its sword, he punched the Demon Ring into the back of Arbiter’s blade. [TWO!] Which opened to reveal a pair of red circles. [DEMON AXE STRIKE!] Then Dante held down the Arbiter Axe’s trigger. [DEMON AXE STRIKE!] He pulled back the Arbiter Axe. “Tremor!” bellow Dante as he slammed the axe into the ground and sent out a shockwave of red energy that clashed with the flame circle from the Hell Knight Phantom. The two moves cancelled each other out.

Dante ran forwards and punched the Demon Ring into the back of the Arbiter Axe’s blade. [THREE!] Which opened to reveal three red circles. [DEMON AXE STRIKE!] Dante then held down on the Arbiter Axe’s trigger. [DEMON AXE STRIKE!] Red energy covered the Arbiter Axe. “Judgment!” shouted Dante as he brought the axe down. The Hell Knight Phantom blocked with its sword, only for the weapon to shatter as Dante brought the axe around in an across swing and then an upwards swing. This cut a red cross into the Hell Knight Phantom, sparks bled from the cross before the Hell Knight Phantom fell over backwards and exploded.

“Let's try this!” shouted Symbol as she swapped the Giga Ring for the Burst Ring. [MAGICAL TOUCH HENSHIN!] She scanned it across the Wizard Driver’s Hand Author. [BURST PLEASE!] She held her left glove out to the side and the burst magic circle appeared behind her. [CAST THE SPELL!] Symbol then pressed the left Shift Lever three times. [MAGICAL TOUCH GO!] Then she scanned the Burst Ring. [BURST! C RANK SPELL!] Four flames appeared around the Frost Knight and blasted through its barrier with ease.

“So this thing is affected by heat and wind?” questioned Symbol. “Makes sense,” muttered Symbol. She added the Steam and Radiation Rings to her right index and ring fingers before pressing the right Shift Lever. [MAGIC TOUCHIE HENSHIN!] Then she scanned her right glove. [STEAM RADIATION PLEASE!] The two magic circles appeared behind her and moved through her. “Turning into steam didn’t work last time, but this did,” mused Symbol as she pressed the right Shift lever twice more. [MAGIC TOUCHIE GO!] Symbol held up her left glove. [RADIATION MAGIC PLEASE!] Out of it shot a beam of radiation that clashed with the line of ice from the Frost Knight Phantom. The hot and cold attacks mixed as created a cloud of dense steam as the heat flash melted the ice.

[MAGIC TOUCHIE GO!] The Frost Knight Phantom looked around desperately as it tried to find the Kamen Rider. [VERY NICE!] But thanks to her Steam Style, Symbol could see through the steam with ease so she didn’t have that problem. [STEAM RADIATION MAGIC!] Not only that, but the Frost Knight Phantom was taking a bit of damage from how hot the steam was, whereas Symbol was not. [THE BEST!] Suddenly, a green glow came from the left and the Frost Knight Phantom turned towards it. “Radiation Burst!” came Symbol’s voice.

From behind the Frost Knight Phantom.

It spun around just in time for a ring of pure green flames to come rocketing out of the mist and slam into it with a thunderous explosion that sent the Frost Knight Phantom flying backwards with sparks coming from its body. [COME ON A CAST SHAKE HANDS!] It did its best to get back up, but was only able to look up at the tip of the Burst Wand. [BURST! CAST STRIKE!] “That wasn’t bad. Burst Beam!” shouted Symbol as the attack fired, the Frost Knight Phantom’s barrier had been destroyed and it was unable to stop the beam of purple mana that engulfed it and caused it to explode.

The two Kamen Rider’s met up and started running through the corridors.

“Where the hell is that mixing room?!” shouted Dante after five minutes of getting lost.

“This way!” shouted Symbol as she found the vein/piping once more. Suddenly, she skidding to a halt, holding out an arm to block Dante.

“What’s the matter?” he asked his sister.

She pointed down.

Dante looked and saw that the pipes were leaking what looked like some sort of green fluid. He reached down towards it.

But Symbol grabbed his arm to stop him.

“How else are we going to find out if its dangerous?” asked Dante.

Symbol replied to that question by pressing the left Shift Lever twice. [MAGICAL TOUCH GO!] Then she scanned the Burst Ring. [BURST! B RANK SPELL!] She flicked her wrist and a mirror of ice appeared in the air before spinning into the liquid, it instantly started to melt.

Dante winced as he swapped the Demon Ring for the Angel Ring and punched it into his Driver’s left slot. [SET!] Symbol’s ice mirrors were thicker than steel. [OPEN!] If one was starting to melt that fast. [O-S-I-R-I-S!] He didn’t even want to know what that stuff was made off. He jumped over the puddle.

Symbol followed, making an ice mirror to use as a stepping stone.

They jumped over three more puddles before running around a corner and arriving at a door.

“This is that door we came in!” realised Symbol.

“So the mixing room is on the other side!” realised Dante as he ran through the door.

Symbol rolled her visors as she ran after him.

The mixing room looked a lot different in the Slip Dimension. In the centre was a mass of veins looking like some sort of plant that came down from the ceiling. Dotted around the room were several veins that looked like human fetus’ with taps that were embedded in their stomachs and the veins leading into their mouths.

For a second Dante’s vision flashed as he replaced the plant with the pillar.

Then he realised what the fetus’ were in the real world.

He had to fight the urge to hurl.

The sound of vomiting told him that Symbol had fought that battle and she had lost.

Dante summed up both of their thoughts in one statement. “What in the shitting hell is going on here?”

For once, Symbol did not mind the swearing as she agreed with him.

“The mixing process,” explained Kate as she appeared. “But it’s the source we’re interested in.”

“I'm guessing the Succubus is on the other end of that?” guessed Dante, really hoping that he was wrong.

“That’s right,” replied Kate much to Symbol’s despair. “This way,” she walked past them.

Only for the doors to suddenly seal themselves.

Suddenly, another Phantom dropped from the ceiling. This one was humanoid and six feet tall. It had grey skin and beady black eyes along with an orange beard in dreadlocks. Over its head it wore a meal Viking helmet, it’s torso was covered in a grey leather shirt with a brown leather bracer around its left arm. It wore a pair of black trousers, a brown pelvis cape and black leather boots. It held a silver Viking axe in its right hand and a brown circle shaped shield in its left hand.

This is the Draugr Phantom, the guard of the Succubus Phantom.

“Incoming boss fight!” shouted Symbol as she pressed the right Shift lever three times. [MAGIC TOUCHIE GO!] The Draugr Phantom gave a bellowing roar that fired several shards of ice at them. [DUST MIRROR MAGIC PLEASE!] Instantly a mirror appeared in front of the two Kamen Riders that absorbed the ice and fired millions of dust particles at the Phantom which exploded across its body.

But the Draugr Phantom was able to block most of the attack with its shield and charged forwards, smashing through the mirror with ease as it brought its axe down towards Symbol. [SET!] [OPEN!] [A-R-B-I-T-E-R!] Only for Dante to use Arbiter to block the attack. But the arc of the axe pulled him off his boots and sent him flying through the air spinning over and over.

“DANTE!” shouted Sunset in concern.

Dante was able to land on his boots and skidded back several paces. “I’m fine!” he shouted. Then he saw something. “LOOK OUT!”

Symbol turned back to the Draugr Phantom just in time to be slashed across the chest plate by its axe. “ARGHH!” she screamed as sparks flew from her chest plate. “Let’s see how you like it!” she switched the Burst Ring for the Active Ring and pressed the left Shift Lever. [MAGICAL TOUCH HENSHIN!] The active magic circle appeared to her left and moved through Symbol. [ACTIVE PLEASE!] Knocking the Phantom back. [LET’S GO!] She then pressed the left Shift Lever once more. [MAGICAL TOUCH GO!] She pulled back her arm as it was covered in red lightning. [ACTIVE! C RANK SPELL!] Symbol ran forwards and punched the Draugr’s shield. Some sparks flew from its body as the electrical heat did damage to it.

Dante ran around behind the Phantom as he punched the Demon Ring into the back of Arbiter’s blade. [FOUR!] Red energy gathered around the axe's blade. [DEMON AXE STRIKE!] Dante brought it down, unleashing three pulses of red energy that made sparks explode from the back of the Draugr Phantom.

It gave a roar of pain as it broke the lock with Symbol and kicked her in the chest plate before turning around to attack Dante. It slashed down with its sword and when Dante blocked he got a shield bash to the face from the Draugr Phantom’s shield and was sent skidding backwards. He looked up just in time to see the Phantom’s axe heading towards his faceplate. [SET!] [OPEN!] [N-E-P-H-I-L-I-M!] He was only just able to get the Rebellion Blade up in time to block the axe.

The Draugr Phantom unleashed a barrage of slashes at Dante, giving him no time to do anything other than frantically defend, then he rolled under a slash and punched the Nephilim Ring into the back of the Rebellion Blade’s handle. [TWO!] The mouth opened to reveal a pair of red and blue circles as Dante spun around. [NEPHILIM SABER STRIKE!] The Rebellion Blade met with the shaft of the axe as the two of them struggled. Dante pressed down on the Rebellion Blade’s trigger. [NEPHILIM SABER STRIKE!] The eyes flashed as the energy around the Rebellion Blade exploded outwards. Igniting micro explosions across the Draugr Phantom’s body as it stumbled backwards in pain from the damage.

[MAGICAL TOUCH GO!] [ACTIVE! A RANK SPELL!] Symbol had recovered by this time. [MAGICAL TOUCH GO!] [VERY NICE!] [ACTIVE! S RANK SPELL!] [THE BEST!] Symbol jumped into the air as the red lightning around her body focused in her right boot. “Lightning Strike!” her boot slammed into the Draugr Phantom’s back and sent a bolt of lightning through it, making the Phantom roar in pain as micro explosions ignited around it.

The monster roared in pain as it shield bashed Dante then stabbed Symbol in the gut, both staggered backwards with sparks coming from the impact points. It turned and slashed down at Symbol, making more sparks come from her body. “ARGH!” grunted Symbol from the pain. She looked up as the Draugr Phantom raised its axe to bring it down once again and pressed the right Shift Lever. [MAGIC TOUCHIE HENSHIN!] She scanned her right glove across the Wizard Driver’s Hand Author. [SLASHER AQUA PLEASE!] She crossed the Slasher Tidal Claws and blocked the axe just before it could make contact. Symbol let go with her right glove and pressed the right Shift Lever again. [MAGIC TOUCHIE GO!] Then scanned her right glove across the Wizard Driver’s Hand Author. [SLASHER MAGIC PLEASE!] Green lightning raced up and down the Slasher Tidal Claws as Symbol forced the axe away and got to her boots she slashed the Draugr Phantom several times making sparks fly from its body.

The Draugr Phantom gave a loud roar and to Symbol’s concern armour of ice formed around it. “That’s not good,” she muttered.

Dante had gotten back up, he switched the Nephilim Ring for the Demon Ring and punched into his Driver’s left slot. [SET!] He turned his wrist back, then forwards making his Driver’s gate close and then open. [OPEN!] The demon magic circle flew out from his Driver then back into Dante. [A-R-B-I-T-E-R!] He pulled the Arbiter Axe off his back and punched the Demon Ring into the back of the blade. [ONE!] Dante swung the Arbiter Axe around as red energy gathered around it. [DEMON AXE STRIKE!] He spun it down, sending a red mana construct in the shape of an axe head at the Draugr Phantom. Which whipped around and used its shield to block.

“Then we just have to smash straight through it!” shouted Dante has he pressed down on the Arbiter Axe’s trigger. [DEMON AXE STRIKE!] Red energy surged up the shaft and into the blade as Dante swung it down. “Flush!” a beam of red mana was fired from the Arbiter Axe, the front of which shifted into the form of a spinning axe head which smashed into the Draugr Phantom’s shield, making it crack.

Symbol switched the Active Ring for the Giga Ring and pressed the left Shift Lever. [MAGICAL TOUCH HENSHIN!] Then scanned the Giga Ring. [GIGA PLEASE!] The giga magic circle appeared under her boots and rose up through Symbol. [BREAK THROUGH!] She pulled the Giga Axe off her back and pulled open the Hand Author. [COME ON A SMASH SHAKE HANDS!] Then she scanned the Giga Ring as green mana gathered around the Giga Axe’s blade. [GIGA SMASH STRIKE!] The Draugr Phantom spun around and blocked the downwards swing with its shield. “Giga Strike!” bellowed Symbol as in an explosion of green mana the shield shattered.

Symbol then switched the Giga Axe into the Giga Spear and pulled open its Hand Author. [COME ON A STAB SHAKE HANDS!] She scanned the Giga Ring across it. [GIGA! STAB STRIKE!] Symbol spun the Giga Spear around several times, letting green mana gather in the blade. “Piercing Giga!” shouted Symbol as she stabbed the Giga Spear forwards and fired a large beam of green mana that caused the Draugr Phantom’s armour to crack in a shower of sparks.

Dante punched the Demon Ring into the back of Arbiter’s blade. [FIVE!] He jumped into the air as the blade opened to reveal five red circles. [DEMON AXE STRIKE!] Dante reached the arc of his jump as he pulled the trigger on the back of the Arbiter Axe. [DEMON AXE STRIKE!] Red mana roared through the Arbiter Axe as Dante went shooting down. “Drop!” he slammed it into the Draugr Phantom’s axe with a loud clang that made the Phantom’s knees buckle.

Dante jumped back and punched the Demon Ring into the back of the Arbiter Axe’s blade once more. [FOUR!] The blade opened to reveal four red circles. [DEMON AXE STRIKE!] Red energy was pulled from the air, it formed three red rings that were pulled into the Arbiter Axe’s blade.

Symbol saw what Dante was about to do, she raced around to his side then added the Hammer and Quake Rings to her right index and ring fingers before pressing the right Shift Lever. [MAGIC TOUCHIE HENSHIN!] Symbol scanned her right glove. [HAMMER QUAKE PLEASE!] The two magic circle appeared below her and moved up through her. Symbol pressed the right Shift Lever once. [MAGIC TOUCHIC GO!] Then scanned her right glove over the Wizard Driver’s Hand Author. [HAMMER MAGIC PLEASE!] The pistons on the Piston Hammer pulled back as they got ready to fire.

Both of the Kamen Rider’s swung their polearm weapons upwards while the Draugr Phantom swung its axe down. The three weapons made contact, locking together. Dante pulled Arbiter’s trigger. [DEMON AXE STRIKE!] Red energy roared around the axe as Symbol pressed the right Shift Lever four times. [MAGIC TOUCHIC GO!] The Wizard Driver’s Hand Author flipped to the left, then back to the right. [VERY NICE!] Symbol scanned her right glove across it. [HAMMER QUAKE MAGIC!] Black mana blazed around the Piston Hammer. [THE BEST!] Cracks started to spread through the axe as it was damaged by both of the powered weapons.

The two Kamen Rider’s looked at each other and nodded. “Trinity Power!” the axe shattered, making the Draugr Phantom stagger backwards in shock.

Dante punched the Demon Ring into his Driver’s left slot. [GO! KICK STRIKE!] Red energy roared around his right boot as Symbol pressed the left Shift Lever once. [MAGICAL TOUCH SPELL!] Then she scanned the Giga Ring. [GIGA C RANK SPELL!] Her right fist started to glow with green mana as Symbol pressed the left Shift Lever four more times. [MAGICAL TOUCH GO!] Then she scanned the Giga Ring. [VERY NICE!] The mana around her right fist blazed. [GIGA! S RANK SPELL!] Symbol and Dante pulled back their right fist and boot. [THE BEST!] “Giga Trinity!” shouted both of the Kamen Riders as they thrust their energized limbs into the chest of the Draugr Phantom.

Sparks exploded from the impact point as the Phantom staggered backwards. It flinched at each of the micro-explosions that went off around it. The Draugr Phantom fell to its knees before cracks spread through its body from the impact points. Then it was consumed by a mighty explosion, sparks rained down like fireworks.

The two Kamen Riders looked at each other and fist bumped.

Kate ran up. “Are you two ok?” she asked. “That looked hard.”

“Too right it was,” replied Symbol.

“Nah!” replied Dante. “That was just a big fat joke.”
> S1E7 Secret Ingrediant

Dante and Symbol walked through a tunnel within the Slip Dimension of the Virility factory, Kate was walking alongside them in the real world. They came to the opening in a giant pipe that dropped straight down. The vein-like pip went through the centre of it and through the middle of a giant fan that was positioned at the end of the tunnel.

“So now what?” asked Dante.

“This tunnel will lead the both of you to the Succubus,” explained Kate as she rummaged around in her belt’s pouches.

“So how are we supposed to get down there?” asked Kamen Rider Symbol as she glanced down the steep drop.

“You can only get there from the Slip Dimension. It’s a solid wall in the real world and I can’t follow,” replied Kate.

“You didn’t answer my question at all,” deadpanned Symbol.

Kate responded by pulling out what looked like a circle shaped egg timer.

Dante thought that was what it was. “What is that? An egg timer?” he asked.

“It’s a vial. Containing a spell I made from a variety of-” Kate started to explain.

Dante was just as quick to cut her off. “We don’t need to know.”

“If it’s anything like the last explanation of what you made, then I agree,” added Symbol with great fever as she remembered what the compound used to make the magic circles was comprised off.

“You two jump. I twist,” explained Kate.

“I was afraid you were going to say that!” groaned Symbol, horrified that she had been right.

Dante looked down the pipe, then back at Kate. “You're serious?” he asked.

Kate nodded

After a few seconds, Dante sighed. “We jump, you twist,” he replied.

“Dante you cannot be-” Symbol began before Dante pushed her over the edge. “-SEROUS!”

Dante jumped after her.

Kate twisted the device making the tunnel go from vertical to diagonal.

Dante slid down on his boots.

While Symbol slid down on her backplate.

Kate turned the device a second time, making the tunnel go from diagonal to horizontal.

Both of the Kamen Riders slid to a stop.

Dante looked down at Symbol. “You might want to try skidding down on your boots, rather than your back,” he explained.

“That was your fault and you know it!” growled Symbol as she got back to her boots.

“You don’t have long! Hurry!” came Kate’s shout.

The two of them started to run down the pipe when the part in front of them broke into pieces which fell down.

Dante switched the Nephilim Ring for the Angel Ring and punched it into his Driver’s left slot. [SET!] He turned his wrist back, then forwards, making his Driver’s gate close and open. [OPEN!] The angel magic circle appeared from Dante’s Driver and moved back through him. [O-S-I-R-I-S!] Dante then punched the Angel Ring into his Driver’s left slot once more. [KICK STRIKE GO!] He grabbed Symbol and jumped into the air before kicking behind himself. Dante was covered in the light blue wind and the two Kamen Rider’s shot forwards before landing on the other side of the gap.

Dante was about to attack a Lesser Blade Phantom when Symbol grabbed him and they jumped to a platform.

“What was that for?! That should have been easy!” shouted Dante.

“We haven’t got long before this pipe returns to normal, it’s better to just keep running!” snapped out Symbol.

Dante just grunted as he jumped to the next section of the pipe.

“Why do I feel like I’ve said that before to a white-haired girl?” Symbol asked herself as she caught up with Dante.

Who turned the Osiris Scythe’s handle. [HOOK MODE!] It transformed into the Angel Lift and he used it three times to reach the next section of the pipe while he was carrying his sister with the other arm.

They were just able to reach it and dodge around the two Blade Phantom as well as the two Valkyrie Phantoms.

Symbol added the Ice and Bind Rings to her right glove and pressed the right Shift Lever. [MAGIC TOUCHIE HENSHIN!] Then she scanned her right glove. [ICE BIND PLEASE!] The two magic circles appeared to Symbol’s right and moved through her as she pressed the right Shift Lever twice more. [MAGIC TOUCHIE GO!] Symbol then scanned her right glove again. [BIND MAGIC PLEASE!] A chain made of orange energy shot from the Grapple Gauntlet and wrapped around a piece of the pipe’s wall that had fallen down the pipe earlier and pulled it into jumping distance.

Dante quickly punched the Angel Ring into his Driver’s left slot. [KICK STRIKE GO!] He grabbed Symbol and they both jumped to the next bit of floating metal. Dante then had to use the Angel Lift to get them over to the next bit of the pipe.

Dante used the Angel Lift once more, while still in the air, he punched the Angel Ring into his Driver’s left slot. [KICK STRIKE GO!] Dante kicked the air behind him and rocketed forwards on the light blue wind. He turned back to his sister. “Head on back!” he shouted over the gap. “I’ll take it for here!”

“Not a chance,” muttered Symbol as she swapped the Active Ring for the Burst Ring and pressed the left Shift Lever. [MAGICAL TOUCH HENSHIN!] She scanned her left glove over the Wizard Driver’s Hand Author. [BURST PLEASE!] The burst magic circle appeared behind her and moved through her. [CAST THE SPELL!] Symbol pressed the left Shift Lever four times as she finished her transformation into the Burst Style. [MAGICAL TOUCH GO!] The Wizard Driver’s Hand Author reset. [VERY NICE!] Symbol scanned the Burst Ring across the Wizard Driver’s Hand Author. [BURST! S RANK SPELL!] She was covered in purple mana. [THE BEST!] Then Symbol vanished and reappeared on the other side of the gap.

“Would you give me some warning before you do that?!” shouted Dante as he tried to get his heart rate back to normal.

“It was quicker, easier and safer than transforming into Active Boost Defend Style, followed by a mid-air transformation into Swift Wing Sniper Style and another transformation into Active Boost Defend Style!” deadpanned Symbol.

Dante considered that for a moment. “Good point,” he had to admit.

They reached the last gap before the fan.

Dante was just about to jump.

When Symbol put a glove on his shoulder pauldron. “You carried me, so now I do that same to you.”

Dante looked at her in shock, he still was not used to people wanted to do something for him. “You don’t have to sis,” he protested.

“Still doing it,” shot back Symbol as she pressed the left Shift Lever four times. [MAGICAL TOUCH GO!] Symbol scanned her left glove. [VERY NICE!] Purple mana covered her. [BURST! S RANK SPELL!] Before extending over to Dante. [THE BEST!] They both vanished in a blast of purple mana and appeared on the other side of the gap.

Dante looked around. “That was smooth. Not anything like Apparition,” he stated.

“I have no idea what that is,” deadpanned Symbol as she ran on ahead.

“I’ll have to get you hooked on the series later!” shouted Dante as he ran after his sister and fellow Kamen Rider.

They both reached the base of the pipe and stopped just in front of the fan.

“Where now?!” shouted Dante.

“Over there!” Symbol pointed to a circle shaped door in the side of the pipe. She switched the Burst Ring for the Active Ring and pressed the left Shift Lever. [MAGICAL TOUCH HENSHIN!] She scanned her left glove. [ACTIVE PLEASE!] The active magic circle appeared and moved over her. [LET’S GO!] Symbol slid the Ice and Bind Rings onto her right glove. [MAGIC TOUCHIE HENSHIN!] She scanned both rings over the Wizard Driver’s Hand Author. [ICE BIND PLEASE!] The two magic circles appeared to her right and moved through Symbol as she pressed the right Shift Lever twice more. [MAGIC TOUCHIE GO!] Then Symbol scanned her right glove. [BIND MAGIC PLEASE!] A chain of orange mana shot out of the Grapple Gauntlet and wrapped around the door. She pulled back on it but the door would not open! “It’s stuck!” shouted Symbol in panic.

Dante switched the Angel Ring for the Demon Ring and punched it into his Driver’s left slot. [SET!] He turned his wrist back, then forwards, making his Driver’s gate close then open. [OPEN!] The demon magic circle appeared from Dante’s Driver then moved back through him, transforming Dante into the Demon Style. [A-R-B-I-T-E-R!] He pulled Arbiter off his back and turned the handle. [GRAPPLE MODE!] It transformed into the Demon Pull and Dante latched it onto the door alongside the chain. “Together!” he shouted.

“On three?” asked Symbol.

“There’s no time! Just pull!” ordered Dante.

“Good Point!” admitted Symbol as they both pulled on their chains, making the door fly open as it was pulled off its hinges.

Dante glanced up to Kate as the tunnel started to shift. “Huh! That really was an egg timer,” he commented.

“Get in there!” shouted Symbol as she grabbed Dante with a chain and threw him into the side tunnel that the door had been covering.

“That was close,” stated Dante as he started to run down the tunnel.

Symbol twitched. “Once again, that was your fault!”

Dante ignored her. “Huh! What a stink!” he groaned.

They exited the tunnel, finding themselves just above the fan. Just ahead of them was a stone walkway with several pillars made of stone on either side. At the end of the walkway was a towering gateway, just beyond which was what looked like a giant cocoon hanging from a metal cable.

It was withering around and groaning?

“I’m guessing that our Succubus,” stated Dante.

“Yep!” chirped Symbol as they both jumped down to the walkway and staggered as the smell hit them!

“Huh! The smell of sick!” groaned Dante.

The smell got worse as they moved closer to the Phantom.

“I think that I’m going to be sick!” muttered Symbol.

Both Kamen Rider’s arrived at the Succubus Phantom.

“So you must be the secret ingredient!” taunted Dante.

“Who are you?” at that question, a pair of bone-like hands appeared and the sack was pushed back revealing a shrivelled up face. It had a red forehead, a mouth full of sharp teeth and a pair of pearl-like orbs were embedded in the creature’s forehead. The only reason that the two Kamen Rider’s could tell the Phantom was female was her hag-like voice.

“I’m your prom date, you ugly sack of shit!” replied Dante.

The Succubus Phantom revealed that she had four hands and clenched them all into fists tightly.

This made the pillars and the gateway burst into pieces, the fragments swirled around the blocked the Kamen Rider’s exit.

The Succubus swung over, revealing herself to be a hybrid of a caterpillar and a human female. She had four large arms and four smaller arms, all of which ended in claw-like nails. “WHO THE FUCK ARE YOU?!” she screamed in the faceplates of the siblings. Suddenly, she vomited some kind of green acid that hissed when it hit the floor.

Dante dodged to the side.

[MAGICAL TOUCH HENSHIN!] [SWIFT PLEASE!] [DASH AWAY!] Symbol transformed into the Swift Style. [MAGIC TOUCHIE HENSHIN!] [WING SNIPER PLEASE!] Then into the Swift Wing Sniper Style. She used the Flight Wings to shoot into the air and hover over the acid.

“You missed!” chirped Dante. “My name, by the way, is Dante and this is Sunset”, he shouted in reply.

“Dante? Sunset? Son and Daughter of Sparda the traitor and Eva the whore!?” the Succubus vomited once again.

“Yeah, but you can call us Dante and Symbol. Kamen Riders and the Phantom Killers. Has a nice ring to it?” the last part was clearly rhetorical as it came from Dante’s mouth.

“You want to kill me?” demanded the Succubus. “You can’t kill me! I’m twelve hundred years old!”

“You don’t look a day over twelve thousand,” mocked Dante.

“Fuck you!” shouted the Succubus Phantom.

“Fuck you!” was Dante’s reply.

“FUCK YOU!” shrieked the Succubus as it vomited once more, forcing Dante to dodge to the side.

The time for talk was over, the battle had began!

Symbol pressed the right Shift Lever twice. [MAGIC TOUCHIE GO!] Then she scanned her right glove across the Wizard Driver’s Hand Author. [SNIPER MAGIC PLEASE!] The Sniper Shooter appeared in a burst of blue light before Symbol fired a single powerful bullet that spiralled through the air and into the hand of the Succubus Phantom making sparks explode across it.

The Phantom bellow in pain before orange veins ran through her right claws hand, she brought it down on Symbol, aiming to crush the Kamen Rider.

Dante quickly got in the way and turned the handle of the Demon Pull. [AXE MODE!] It transformed back into the Arbiter Axe and he used it to block the claw, but his knees buckled from the force.

“For an old hag, you sure are strong!” he grunted.

Said ‘Old Hag’ roared in anger as she brought her other large clawed hand around to swipe at Dante.

“Sis, I could do with some help here!” shouted Dante in panic.

“On it!” shouted Symbol as she pressed the right Shift Lever four times. [MAGIC TOUCHIE GO!] The Wizard Driver’s Hand Author reset. [VERY NICE!] Symbol scanned her right glove across it. [WING SNIPER MAGIC!] A ball of blue mana appeared in front of the Sniper Shooter. [THE BEST!] Symbol looked down the scope as her mind ran calculations, telling her where the arm was going to be by the time the command reached. “Sniper Beam!” she pulled the trigger and fired a giant beam of blue magical energy. It slammed into the arm and made it fly off course. Sparks exploded on impact as the Phantom howled in pain.

This had given Dante all the time he needed to force the clawed hand off him. He punched the Demon Ring into the back of Arbiter’s blade. [TWO!] Which opened to reveal a pair of red circles. [DEMON AXE STRIKE!] Dante pulled back the Arbiter Axe and slammed it onto the ground, firing a line of energy. “Nice nails! Let me cut them for you!”

The Phantom roared as she pulled back her fists, both of them were glowing with orange veins of energy.

“HAHAHAH!” cackled the Succubus Phantom evilly. “You're going to die, then I’m going to eat your tiny little bodies!” she cackled.

“Yeah, no thanks!” shouted Symbol as she switched the Swift Ring for the Burst Ring and pressed the left Shift Lever. [MAGICAL TOUCH HENSHIN!] Then she scanned her left glove across the Wizard Driver’s Hand Author. [BURST PLEASE!] The burst magic circle appeared behind her and moved through Symbol. [CAST THE SPELL!] She pressed the left Shift Lever three times. [MAGICAL TOUCH GO!] Symbol scanned her left glove. [BURST! A RANK SPELL!] The burst magic circle appeared on the ground and a wall of earth burst out, stopping both of the fists.

The Succubus Phantom howled as she brought her arms around and smashed the wall, before clipping Symbol on the side with one of her nails. Sparks flew as Symbol was sent spinning from the force of the attack.

“SUNSET!” shouted Dante. He punched the Demon Ring into the back of Ivory. [DEMON!] Two rings of red and white energy gathered around Ivory’s barrel. [IVORY STRIKE!] Dante pulled the trigger, firing a beam of red and white energy from the hand cannon. It grew bigger as it passed through the two rings and turned into a column-sized beam that splashed against the Succubus Phantom’s face, making sparks come from the continuous Impact.

“Stop it you little shit!” screamed the Phantom as she slammed her large arms together around the beam, making it shatter into motes of light.

Symbol added the Steam and Radiation Rings to her right glove and hit the right Shift Lever. [MAGIC TOUCHIE HENSHIN!] Then she scanned her right glove. [STEAM RADIATION PLEASE!] The two magic circles appeared behind Symbol and moved through her. She quickly fired a pair of green radiation spheres at the Succubus Phantom’s face. They detonated on impact making sparks fly and the Phantom flinched backwards in pain from the explosions.

With a scream of rage, she pulled up both of her large clawed hands and slammed them down sending an orange shockwave through the ground. Both Kamen Rider’s were knocked off their boots and Symbol was grabbed by the Phantom as she started to crush Symbol between both her giant hands.

“Dante! A little help!” shouted Symbol as sparks came from her armour.

“Got it!” shouted Dante as he punched the Nephilim Ring into his Driver’s left slot. [SET!] He turned his wrist back, then forwards, making his Driver’s gate open and close. [OPEN!] The nephilim magic circle appeared from his Driver and moved back through Dante. [N-E-P-H-I-L-I-M!] He punched the Nephilim Ring into the base of the Rebellion Blade’s handle. [FIVE!] The mouth popped open to reveal five blue and red circles. [NEPHILIM SABER STRIKE!] Dante pulled back the Rebellion Blade and stabbed it into the face of the Succubus Phantom.

She gave a shriek of pain as she was stabbed between the eyes and let go of Symbol in the process.

Who landed on the ground and dropped to one knee, panting from the pain. “Thanks,” she thanked her brother.

“Don’t mention it!” was Dante’s reply as he pressed the Rebellion Blade’s trigger. [NEPHILIM SABER STRIKE!] Red and blue mana gathered around the Rebellion Blade as Dante stabbed forwards. “Stinger!” a blast of red and blue energy shaped like a sword was fired from the Rebellion Blade. It ground sparks from the hands of the Succubus Phantom as she crossed them over her face.

“Argh! You will pay for that you little shits!” shouted the Succubus Phantom in rage as both of her front claws were pulled back, glowing with veins of orange energy.

Symbol switched the Steam and Radiation Rings for the Dust and Mirror Rings before pressing the right Shift Lever. [MAGIC TOUCHIE HENSHIN!] Then she scanned her right glove across the Wizard Driver’s Hand Author. [DUST MIRROR PLEASE!] The two magic circle appeared behind Symbol and moved through her, transforming her into the Burst Dust Mirror Style as she pressed the right Shift Lever three times. [MAGIC TOUCHIE GO!] Then scanned her right glove. [DUST MIRROR MAGIC PLEASE!] Two mirrors appeared on either side of her, the claws slammed into them and made the mirrors shatter like glass before they exploded into dust that ground at the Succubus Phantom’s claws hands making her shriek in pain from the sparks they emitted.

Symbol pressed the left Shift Lever twice. [MAGICAL TOUCH GO!] Then scanned her left glove across the Wizard Driver’s Hand Author. [BURST! B RANK SPELL!] She threw her right glove forwards and water particles in the air formed into a pair of ice disks that spun as they ground sparks from the Succubus Phantom’s face.

The Phantom screamed in rage as she shattered the disk and dug both of her front clawed hand into the ground. Veins of orange energy roared through them and into the ground under Symbol and Dante’s boots.

“Oh shit! Jump!” shouted Dante as he switched the Nephilim Ring to the Angel Ring and punched it into his Driver’s left slot. [SET!] The angel magic circle appeared. [OPEN!] Then it moved back through him, transforming Dante into the Angel Style. [O-S-I-R-I-S!] Then he covered his boots in the light blue wind. [KICK STRIKE GO!] Before jumping into the air.

[MAGICAL TOUCH HENSHIN!] [ACTIVE PLEASE!] [LET’S GO!] “I’m with you on that one!” shouted Symbol. [MAGIC TOUCHIE HENSHIN!] [BOOST DEFEND PLEASE!] She transformed into the Active Boost Defend Style as she jumped into the air, following her Brother’s example.

Just in time as the energy from the cracks erupted like a volcano and only just failed to reach the siblings.

Symbol gulped. “That would have hurt if it hit us,” she commented.

“Tell me about it! Angel Boost!” Dante kicked off the air behind himself and went shooting down, twisting in the air to ram his energized boot into the Succubus Phantom’s face, hard.

“ARGH!” the Phantom screamed in fury as she made both of her front claws glow with veins of orange energy and shot them forwards.

Symbol landed back on the ground and switched the Active Ring for the Giga Ring then pressed the left Shift Lever. [MAGICAL TOUCH HENSHIN!] She scanned her left glove across the Wizard Driver’s Hand Author. [GIGA PLEASE!] The giga magic circle appeared on the ground and rose up through her. [BREAK THROUGH!] Symbol pressed the left Shift Lever once more. [MAGICAL TOUCH SPELL!] Before scanning the Giga Ring across the Wizard Driver’s Hand Author. [GIGA C RANK SPELL!] Her right arm glowed dimly as she pulled it back and punched the claws hand. She was sent sliding back several paces but the claw was stopped.

[SET!] [OPEN!] [A-R-B-I-T-E-R!] Dante landed on the ground as he transformed back into the Demon Style. He punched the Demon Ring into the back of Arbiter’s blade. [ONE!] Then he swung it around as the blade opened to reveal a single red circle. [DEMON AXE STRIKE!] Energy gathered around the blade of the Arbiter Axe and as Dante completed his swing it was fired off in the shape of a spinning axe head that slammed into the claw which had been aiming for him, stopping it in its tracks.

Seeing his opening, Dante pressed down on the Arbiter Axe’s trigger. [DEMON AXE STRIKE!] Red energy surged up the handle and into the blade as Dante swung the Arbiter Axe down. “Flush!” a beam of red energy was fired from the Arbiter Axe, the head of the beam looked like a spinning axe head that smashed into the chest of the Succubus Phantom, igniting an explosion.

The Phantom screamed as she brought one of her clawed hands around they started to glow with veins of orange energy.

[MAGICAL TOUCH HENSHIN!] [ACTIVE PLEASE!] [LET’S GO!] Symbol transformed into the Active Style. [MAGIC TOUCHIE HENSHIN!] [BOOST DEFEND PLEASE!] Then upgraded into the Active Boost Defend Style. She pressed the right Shift Lever twice. [MAGIC TOUCHIE GO!] Before scanning her right glove across the Wizard Driver’s Hand Author. [DEFEND MAGIC PLEASE!] She used the Defend Shield to block the claw and was sent skidding backwards before her boots got a grip on the ground, halting the massive clawed hand.

She drew the Active Blade. [COME ON A SLASH SHAKE HANDS!] Red lightning gathered around the sharp part. [ACTIVE! SLASH STRIKE!] Symbol brought the Active Blade down. “Red Slash!” lightning arced its way up the Succubus Phantom’s arm making her roar in pain.

Dante took advantage of the opening as he ran forwards and punched the Demon Ring into the back of the Arbiter Axe’s blade. [THREE!] Which opened to reveal three red circles. [DEMON AXE STRIKE!] He slammed the Arbiter Axe into the Succubus Phantom’s face three times.

“You’ll pay for that you little shit!” shouted the Phantom as she pulled her arm back and swung at Dante.

[SET!] He jumped into the air. [OPEN!] “You’ve been doing a great job so far!” he mocked as he transformed into the Angel Style. [O-S-I-R-I-S!] The claw swung under him, missing Dante’s boots by less than an inch. Dante punched the Angel Ring into the back of Osiris’ blade. [TWO!] Which opened to reveal a pair of light blue circles. [ANGEL SCYTHE STRIKE!] Dante spun Osiris like a vertical propeller, cutting sparks from the Succubus Phantom’s head.

She wailed in pain as she tried to crush Dante.

[KICK STRIKE GO!] Who kicked the air and sent himself shooting backwards.

Symbol transformed the Active Blade into the Active Rifle and pulled open its Hand Author. [COME ON A SHOOTING SHAKE HANDS!] She then scanned the Active Ring across the Hand Author. [ACTIVE! SHOOTING STRIKE!] Red lightning was pulled from the air and into the Active Rifle as Symbol took aim. “Red Bolt!” Symbol pulled the trigger and fired a massive, column sized red lightning bolt that slammed into the Succubus Phantom’s face and made an explosion ignite.

Symbol pressed the right Shift Lever Four times. [MAGIC TOUCHIE GO!] The Wizard Driver’s Hand Author reset. [VERY NICE!] Symbol scanned her right glove. [BOOST DEFEND MAGIC!] Grey mana built up around the Defend Shield. [THE BEST!] Symbol pulled back her arm and threw the Defend Shield, it spun like a boomerang and cut into the Succubus Phantom’s face, made a smoke cloud appear.

The Succubus Phantom shouted in rage as she brought back both of her claws and slammed them down on the ground, repeatedly, sending out several shockwaves of power that roared towards the Kamen Riders.

[SET!] [OPEN!] [A-R-B-I-T-E-R!] Dante transformed back into Demon Style. [TWO!] Red energy gathered around the blade of the Arbiter Axe. [DEMON AXE STRIKE!] Dante slammed said weapon onto the ground, sending out two lines of red energy. They raced along the ground and met two of the shockwaves, cancelling both of them out.

But this still left four more shockwaves heading towards Dante and Symbol. Dante punched the Demon Ring into his Driver’s left slot. [GO! KICK STRIKE!] He pulled up his right boot as red energy gathered around it. “Stomp!” he yelled as he did just that. All pillar of red energy appeared from the ground, blocking all four of the shockwaves.

Symbol pressed the right Shift Lever three times. [MAGIC TOUCHIE GO!] Then scanned her right glove across the Wizard Driver’s Hand Author. [BOOST DEFEND MAGIC PLEASE!] Purple energy ran from her Driver, into the Boost Grieves as Symbol jumped into the air, flipped once and then came down. Grey energy was pulled from the Wizard Driver, into Symbol’s boots and formed into a shield construct around her soles as she kicked the Phantom in the face making sparks explode from the impact point.

Symbol jumped back and flipped over a swipe from the Succubus Phantom’s claw. She landed on the ground when an orange glow started to surge up the Phantoms body and into her mouth. “What on earth? Asked Symbol.

Then the Succubus Phantom started to spew orange acid over the platform. She started from the left and moved along to the right.

“Shit!” shouted Dante. “It’s not giving us anywhere to go!” he shouted in panic.

[MAGIC TOUCHIE GO!] “This way!” shouted Symbol as purple mana ran through the Boost Grieves. [BOOST MAGIC PLEASE!] She jumped to several of the floating pieces of floor, moving to a platform on the right.

[SET!] “Good thinking sis!” shouted Dante. [OPEN!] He jumped into the air. [O-S-I-R-I-S!] Transforming into the Angel Style as he took Osiris of his back and turned the handle. [HOOK MODE!] The Osiris Scythe transformed into the Angel Lift and just before the acid reached Dante he used it to hook onto the rocks his sister had jumped off, quickly reaching the platform.

The Succubus Phantom followed. “What’s wrong with you little boy? Forgotten how to use your little metal toothpick?” she taunted Dante.

“Said the overgrown caterpillar,” replied Dante without missing a beat.

Symbol was in the background laughing her ass off.

“You’ll pay for that!” the Succubus Phantom screamed in rage.

“Hey! If you can’t take it then don’t dish it out!” shouted Dante.

“I’m going to smash you both to bits! You puny piles of puss!” screamed the Succubus Phantom.

“Get some better material!” shouted Dante as he pressed the trigger of the Osiris Scythe. [ANGEL SCYTHE STRIKE!] He spun it forwards several times, then backwards. “Prop! Shredder!” this fired a circle of light blue wind that hit the Succubus Phantom and made a cloud of smoke come from the explosion that was detonated when it hit the Phantom.

The Succubus Phantom screamed in utter rage as she brought her claw around to strike Dante.

Symbol jumped into the air. [MAGICAL TOUCH HENSHIN!] She fell through the giga magic circle. [GIGA PLEASE!] Transforming into the Giga Style. [BREAK THROUGH!] She pulled open the Giga Axe’s Hand Author. [COME ON A SMASH SHAKE HANDS!] Then scanned the Giga Ring across it. [GIGA SMASH STRIKE!] Green mana gathered around the Giga Axe. “Giga Strike!” shouted Symbol as she brought the energized axe down on the claw, causing an explosion that sent them flying away from each other.

The Succubus Phantom gave a roar of rage as two of her other large claws hands glowed with veins of orange energy. She reached around to grab Symbol before she could recover from the explosion.

But Symbol had already recovered. She slid the Punch and Drill Rings onto her right glove then struck the right Shift Lever. [MAGIC TOUCHIE HENSHIN!] The giga magic circle appeared and rose up through her. [PUNCH DRILL PLEASE!] Symbol pressed the right Shift Lever once more. [MAGIC TOUCHIC GO!] The hands neared as she scanned her right glove. [PUNCH MAGIC PLEASE!] Symbol set her left fist on fire and punched both of the hands, the flames burned sparks from the clawed hands as they pulled back from the heat and fire.

The Succubus Phantom gave another roar of rage as she brought all four of her large clawed hands back. They glowed with veins of orange energy as she ignored Dante and brought them all down on Symbol.

Who pressed the right Shift Lever twice. [MAGIC TOUCHIC GO!] Then scanned her right glove. [DRILL MAGIC PLEASE!] Symbol punched both of her gloves into the ground and a wall of earth burst from the ground. The Succubus Phantom slammed her fists down, but the while the wall cracked it still held.

Dante had not hesitated to take advantage of the opening. He punched the Angel Ring into the back of the Osiris Scythe blade. [FOUR!] Which then opened, revealing four light blue circles. [ANGEL SCYTHE STRIKE!] He crouched down and then jumped into the air while he spun. This made the scythe cut into the Succubus Phantom’s stomach repeatedly, but she was too pissed at Symbol to even notice.

Dante landed on the ground as Symbol deflected the claws with her wall. This gave him another opening and he pressed down on the Osiris Scythe’s trigger. [ANGEL SCYTHE STRIKE!] Dante crotched as blue energy raced up the shaft of the Osiris Scythe and into the blade, the mana took on the form of a wing as Dante jumped into the air while spinning. This made the feathers shoot off and form into five circles of light as they followed the spinning scythe. This had the effect of multiplying the damaged that the Succubus Phantom took.

With a roar of anger, the Succubus Phantom made to grab Dante with her four smaller claws and managed it.

“Sunset! HELP!” shouted Dante as sparks came from his armour.

“DANTE! HANG ON!” Symbol ran towards her brother but had to stop and pressed the left Shift lever three times. [MAGICAL TOUCH SPELL!] Then she scanned her left glove across the Wizard Driver’s Hand Author. [GIGA A RANK SPELL!] Her body was covered in dimly glowing green mana. “Get out of my way!” ordered Symbol.

“I don’t think so you little pile of pussy!” shouted the Succubus Phantom. “I’m going to crush your brother, make you watch and then do the same to you!”

Sheer fury boiled into Symbol. She had lost her father and mother, she would not lose either of her brothers. “YOU WON’T TOUCH THEM!” [MAGICAL TOUCH HENSHIN!] [SWIFT PLEASE!] [DASH AWAY!] She transformed into the Swift Style before pressing the left Shift Lever three times. [MAGICAL TOUCH GO!] Then Symbol scanned the Swift Ring across the Wizard Driver’s Hand Author. [SWIFT! B RANK SPELL!] She was covered in yellow mana and from her point of view time had slowed down. She blurred forwards, avoiding the four large claws of the Succubus Phantom with ease, then she started slashing at her smaller claws with the Swift Dagger. This opened several glowing yellow gashes that forced the Phantom to realise Dante as she roared in pain from the injuries that she had taken.

“Not so sure of yourself now are you?” taunted Symbol.

“You will pay for that!” shouted the Succubus Phantom as she brought back all four of her large claws. They surged with orange energy as she brought them down on the platform, unleashing several shockwaves of orange energy. There were twelve in total, three from each claw that roared towards the Kamen Riders.

Dante switched the Angel Ring for the Demon Ring and punched it into his Driver’s left slot. [SET!] He turned his wrist back, making his Driver’s gate close before turning is wrist forwards to make his Driver’s gate open. [OPEN!] The demon magic circle appeared and moved back through Dante, transforming him into the Demon Style. [A-R-B-I-T-E-R!] Dante pulled the Arbiter Axe off his back and punched the Demon Ring into the back of its blade. [FOUR!] Which opened to reveal four red circles. [DEMON AXE STRIKE!] Then Dante pressed down on the Arbiter Axe’s trigger. [DEMON AXE STRIKE!] Red energy surged up the Arbiter Axe’s handle and into the blade. “Super Tremor!” Dante pulled back the Arbiter Axe and slammed it into the ground, sending out ten pulses of red energy that cancelled out the shockwaves.

Symbol saw an opening. She switched the Swift Ring for the Active Ring and pressed the left Shift Lever. [MAGICAL TOUCH HENSHIN!] Next she scanned her left glove across the Wizard Driver’s Hand Author. [ACTIVE PLEASE!] The active magic circle appeared to her left and moved through her. [LET’S GO!] Symbol then added IceBind to her right glove and struck the right Shift Lever. [MAGIC TOUCHIE HENSHIN!] She scanned her right glove. [ICE BIND PLEASE!] The two magic circle appeared to her right and moved through her, transforming Symbol into the Active Ice Bind Style. She hit the right Shift Lever twice. [MAGIC TOUCHIE GO!] Then scanned her right glove again. [BIND MAGIC PLEASE!] Orange energy gathered around the Grapple Gauntlet as Symbol fired a beam of orange mana that shifted into a chain, going into the Succubus Phantom’s mouth. The Phantom screamed in pain as Symbol pulled her forwards.

“Hey Succubus!” shouted Dante as he ran forwards. [GO! KICK STRIKE!] Red energy gathered around his right boot as he leapt into the flying kick. “Suck on this! Demon Impact!” the boot made contact and sent out a shockwave. It also caused the Succubus Phantom to lose her grip and dangle helplessly until she swung herself back up to the platform.

But before she did that, Symbol saw the opening she need. The Succubus was hanging from a pipe that she was connected to by an electronic cuff. That cuff was powered by a pair of pipes that fed power to it.

Symbol fired another chain and grabbed onto one of the lines. “Here we go!” she gave a sharp pull and yanked the pipe from the cuff.

The Succubus Phantom gave a roar as she finally swung herself back up. Her whole body was covered in veins of orange energy.

[SET!] [OPEN!] [O-S-I-R-I-S!] “Shit!” shouted Dante as he transformed into the Angel Style. [HOOK MODE!] Then he transformed the Osiris Scythe into the Angel Lift.  “Time to go!” he hooked the Angel Lift onto the rocks they had used to get to the platform and swung back to the first platform.

Symbol switched IceBind for BoostDefend and pressed the right Shift Lever. [MAGIC TOUCHIE HENSHIN!] Then she scanned her right glove across the Wizard Driver’s Hand Author. [BOOST DEFEND PLEASE!] Symbol ran through the two magic circles. [MAGIC TOUCHIE GO!] [BOOST MAGIC PLEASE!] Purple mana ran into the Boost Grieves as she jumped into the air, following her Brother’s example.

“ARRGH!” screamed the Succubus Phantom. “I’m going to pull off your arms and legs, chew them up and puke them all over your pathetic little faces!” she brought all of her claws down, shattering the platform into pieces. As she swung over the Succubus Phantom swiped at the rocks Dante and Symbol had jumped to, sending them flying at the Kamen Rider’s in anger.

Both of whom dodged by leaning to the side.

“She’s mad,” observed Symbol.

“Yeah,” Dante agreed.

Symbol switched the Boost and Defend Rings for the Slasher and Aqua Rings before hitting the right Shift Lever. [MAGIC TOUCHIE HENSHIN!] Then Symbol scanned her right glove across the Wizard Driver’s Hand Author. [SLASHER AQUA PLEASE!] The two magic circles appeared to her right and moved through her, transforming Symbol into the Active Slasher Aqua Style.

Then Symbol pressed the right Shift Lever once more. [MAGIC TOUCHIE GO!] Before scanning her right glove across the Wizard Driver’s Hand Author. [SLASHER MAGIC PLEASE!] Both of the Tidal Slasher Claws were covered in green lightning as Symbol ran forwards and slashed the Succubus Phantom in the face several times.

In response the Phantom reached up and grabbed Symbol before smashing her into the ground with one of her large claws.

“SUNSET!” shouted Dante as he ran forwards and punched the Angel Ring into the back of the Osiris Scythe’s blade. [FIVE!] Which opened to reveal five light blue circles. [ANGEL SCYTHE STRIKE!] Dante jumped into the air and spun around, slashing the Succubus Phantom’s face five times before ending on a single, hard downwards swing that made sparks fly from the Phantom’s face.

“ARGH!” the Succubus Phantom’s left claw glowed as she swung it around and punched Dante out of the air. He was sent shooting down and impacted the platform with a sonic boom, making cracks appear in the ground.

“DANTE!” shouted Symbol in horror. “Your gonna pay for that!” [MAGICAL TOUCH HENSHIN!] The burst magic circle appeared behind her. [BURST PLEASE!] It moved through Symbol, transforming her into the Burst Style. [CAST THE SPELL!] The burst magic circle blocked a claw from the Succubus Phantom before it faded. Symbol beat the right Shift Lever once. [MAGICAL TOUCH GO!] The scanned the Burst Ring across the Wizard Driver’s Hand Author. [BURST! C RANK SPELL!] Four sparks appeared in the air around her before igniting into four ball of flame. Symbol pointed at the Succubus Phantom. “GO!” she ordered. The fireballs went shooting towards the Succubus Phantom, which swiped at them with one of her large claws. Only for the orbs to weave around the attack at a flick of Symbol’s wrist and slam into the Phantom’s face, exploding on impact and create a smoke cloud around the Phantom’s face.

By this time Dante was back up. He pulled out Ebony and punched the Angel Ring into the back of it’s hammer. [ANGEL!] A ring of black mana and two rings of light blue mana were pulled into the hand cannon’s barrel as Dante took aim and pulled the trigger. [EBONY STRIKE!] A barrage of light blue and black energy bolts tore out of Ivory. “Angel Cannon!” shouted Dante as the bolts transformed into beams of light that impacted the face of the Succubus Phantom and exploded making her scream in pain that was music to Dante’s ears.

[ANGEL SCYTHE STRIKE!] Energy ran up the Osiris Scythe’s shaft and into its blade as Dante spun the weapon around before tearing it up through the platform. This fired a crescent of light blue energy that soared through the air and transformed into a beam that punched the Succubus Phantom in the face, enticing another scream of pain.

Symbol pressed the right Shift lever three times. [MAGICAL TOUCH GO!] Then she scanned the Burst Ring across the Wizard Driver’s Hand Author. [BURST! A RANK SPELL!] Symbol’s right glove was covered in purple mana as she pulled back her glove and punched the ground. Out of which came a wall of earth that then fell over and slammed into the Succubus Phantom, shattering on impact and causing the Phantom a great deal of pain in the process.

Dante gave his sister a look.

“What?” asked Symbol.

He shook his helmet. “Only you would think to turn a defensive command into an offensive one,” he muttered.

“STOP IGNORING ME!” shouted the Succubus Phantom as she brought her claws hands down towards the siblings.

Symbol jumped back as she pressed the left Shift Lever four times. [MAGICAL TOUCH GO!] The Wizard Driver’s Hand Author reset. [VERY NICE!] Symbol scanned her right glove across it. [BURST! S RANK SPELL!] Her right glove glowed purple as she held it out, the same glow covered the fragments of the wall. [THE BEST!] Suddenly, the wall fragments started shooting bullets of rock at the Succubus Phantom from all angles. “Wall Assault!” yelled Symbol as the bullets impacted the Succubus Phantom making sparks explode off her body.

“ARGH! Stop it you freak!” screamed the Succubus Phantom as she thrashed around, throwing the wall fragments of the platform and into the water bellow.

Dante glanced over the edge and winced when he saw the fragments start to melt within the water. This revealed that the water was really some form of acid.

“Don't fall into the water, it’s got acid mixed into it,” he warned Symbol.

“Noted!” replied Symbol as she added the Dust and Mirror rings to her right glove then hit the right Shift Lever. [MAGIC TOUCHIE HENSHIN!] Symbol scanned her right glove across the Wizard Driver’s Hand Author. [DUST MIRROR PLEASE!] She transformed into the Burst Dust Mirror Style and pressed the right Shift Lever once more. [MAGIC TOUCHIE GO!] Symbol scanned her right glove once more. [DUST MAGIC PLEASE!] She held up her right glove and a tornado of dust swirled into being around her.

The Succubus Phantom snarled. “You think that DUST can stop me?!” she brought one of her big claws around and sparks flew from it as it passed through the tornado. Her eyes went wide as her claw passed through Symbol, revealing the Kamen Rider to be an illusion. “WHAT THE-?!” all that pain for nothing!

[MAGICAL TOUCH HENSHIN!] [GIGA PLEASE!] [BREAK THROUGH!] The Succubus Phantom looked up. [COME ON A SMASH SHAKE HANDS!] Just in time to see Symbol falling from the sky with the Giga Axe. [GIGA SMASH STRIKE!] Symbol slammed the axe down. “Giga Strike!” the Giga Axe slammed into the Phantom’s forehead, making an explosion ignite between the two of them.

Symbol jumped backwards as the Succubus Phantom wailed in pain and agony, just how Symbol liked it.

[SET!] The nephilim magic circle appeared from Dante’s Driver. [OPEN!] Before moving back into him. [N-E-P-H-I-L-I-M!] Dante transformed into the Nephilim Style and punched the Nephilim Ring into the back of the Rebellion Blade. [ONE!] The mouth opened to reveal one red and blue circle. [NEPHILIM SABER STRIKE!] Dante ran forwards and slashed upwards, cutting a glowing line through the Succubus Phantom’s face as he jumped into the air.

While he was in the air, Dante pressed down on the Rebellion Blade’s trigger. [NEPHILIM SABER STRIKE!] Red and blue energy gathered around the Rebellion Blade. “Helm Breaker!” shouted Dante as he went shooting down with his glowing blade and deepened the cut with a heavy downwards strike that made micro explosions, exploded across the Succubus Phantom’s face.

The Succubus swung both of her arms around aiming to crush Dante between them.

[MAGIC TOUCHIE HENSHIN!] Thankfully that did not happen. [PUNCH DRILL PLEASE!] Symbol ran forwards as the drills on the Punch Drillers started to spin. [MAGIC TOUCHIC GO!] She pulled back her fist and slammed it into the ground. [DRILL MAGIC PLEASE!] Out of the ground burst several drills that formed a spinning wall on either side of Dante.

The Succubus Phantom roared in pain as the drills ground sparks out of her hands, she quickly pulled back but the damage had been done.

Symbol pressed the advantage as she pressed the right Shift Lever four times. [MAGIC TOUCHIC GO!] The Wizard Driver’s Hand Author reset. [VERY NICE!] She scanned her right glove across it. [PUNCH DRILL MAGIC!] Purple mana gathered around the Punch Drillers. [THE BEST!] Symbol pulled back her fists and slammed them into the ground. “Wall Launch!” The walls of drills were fired into the air and arched down, drilling into the Succubus Phantom’s back grinding sparks out of it. That was before they exploded doing a massive amount of damage to the Phantom.

The Succubus Phantom roared as she brought her fists back and slammed them down on Symbol.

“SUNSET!” shouted Dante.

But his concern was not warranted as Symbol forced the Succubus Phantom’s clawed hands back up with the Giga Punch Drill Style’s strength.

Dante gave a sigh of relief as he charged energy into the Rebellion Blade. [NEPHILIM SABER STRIKE!] Red and blue energy covered it as Dante flipped the Rebellion Blade into a reverse handed grip and swung. “Drive!” this fired a crescent of red and blue energy at the Succubus Phantom. She was unable to disengage from Symbol fast enough to block it and was hit making an explosion ignited across her face.

“I WILL KILL BOTH OF YOU!” shouted the Succubus Phantom as she pulled back her body. Veins of orange energy raced through it as an orange bulge went up from her stomach, into her mouth.

[MAGICAL TOUCH HENSHIN!] “Let’s move it!” [ACTIVE PLEASE!] Symbol ran through the active magic circle. [LET’S GO!] She transformed into the Active Style. [MAGIC TOUCHIE HENSHIN!] Then into the Boost Defend Style. [BOOST DEFEND PLEASE!] Symbol pressed the right Shift Lever once. [MAGIC TOUCHIE GO!] Then scanned her right glove across the Wizard Driver’s Hand Author. [BOOST MAGIC PLEASE!] Purple mana ran from the Wizard Driver into the Boost Grieves as Symbol jumped to a rock, then to a second rock, before landing on a platform to the left of the one that the two Kamen Riders had been standing on.

“I’m with you on that one!” shouted Dante as he swapped the Nephilim Ring for the Angel Ring and punched it into his Driver’s left slot. [SET!] He turned his wrist back making his Driver’s gate close then he turned his wrist forwards to make his Driver’s gate spring open again. [OPEN!] The angel magic circle appeared from Dante’s Driver and moved back through him. [O-S-I-R-I-S!] Transforming Dante into the Angel Style. [HOOK MODE!] He hooked the Angel Lift onto the first rock and swung to it, before doing the same to the second rock and then hooking the Angel Lift onto the platform before pulling himself up to join his sister.

They had done this just in time as the Succubus Phantom vomited onto the platform they had been on. She quickly swung over to the Kamen Rider’s while roaring violent threats at them.

“Blah blah blah!” shouted Symbol. “That’s all I’m hearing from you!”

“I will grind your bones!” shouted the Succubus Phantom in sheer rage.

[MAGIC TOUCHIE HENSHIN!] “You’ve had no luck with that so far!” argued Symbol. [SLASHER AQUA PLEASE!] She pressed the right Shift Lever twice. [MAGIC TOUCHIE GO!] Then she scanned her right glove across the Wizard Driver’s Hand Author. [AQUA MAGIC PLEASE!] Six streams of water were pulled from under the platform and they covered the Tidal Slasher Claws. “Here we go!” Symbol slashed her arms down and fired six crescents of water towards the face of the Succubus Phantom.

Only for the Phantom to smirk as her four small claws emitted glows. Four streams of water were pulled up and formed into four square shaped shields in front of the Succubus Phantom, blocking Symbol’s attack.

“What on earth?!” demanded Symbol.

“Since when could you do that?!” demanded Dante.

The Succubus Phantom’s smirk just got bigger as she pulled one of her large claws hands back for a swing at Dante and Symbol.

Dante punched the Angel Ring into his Driver’s left slot. [KICK STRIKE GO!] The light blue wind was pulled from the air and wrapped around Dante as he crouched. Just before the claw reached him he leaped into the air, soaring over the limb. Then he kicked the air behind him and went shooting down. It looked like a light blue tornado was descending towards the Succubus Phantom. “Angel Boost!” shouted Dante as his boots made contact with the Phantom’s head. This ignited and explosion between them as Dante back flipped away from the Succubus Phantom.

The Phantom screamed in fury as she brought all four of her big claws down, making twelve shockwaves roar through the ground.

Symbol pressed the right Shift Lever three times. [MAGIC TOUCHIE GO!] Then she scanned her right glove across the Wizard Driver’s Hand Author. [SLASHER AQUA MAGIC PLEASE!] She then pressed the right Shift Lever four times. [MAGICAL TOUCH GO!] The Wizard Driver’s Hand Author reset. [VERY NICE!] Symbol scanned her right glove across it. [SLASHER AQUA MAGIC!] Both of the Slasher Tidal Claws were covered in green lightning and light blue water. [THE BEST!] Symbol pressed both of her claws into the ground, took a step forwards and pulled them up. This sent six vertical crescents of blue water charged with green lightning at the shockwaves. The dual element attack clashed with the shockwaves and after several seconds the two attacks cancelled each other out.

Dante took his opening as he punched the Angel Ring into the back of the Osiris Scythe’s blade. [THREE!] Which then opened to reveal three light blue circles. [ANGEL SCYTHE STRIKE!] Dante pressed down on the trigger of the Osiris Scythe. [ANGEL SCYTHE STRIKE!] Light blue mana ran up the weapon’s shaft and into its bladed part. “Rake!” shouted Dante as he jumped above the Succubus Phantom and swung the Osiris Scythe down. This fired the mana off in the form of a pillar of feathers that smashed into the Succubus Phantom making explosions ignited across its entire body.

The Phantom lost her grip and was left hanging from the cable. But before either of the Kamen Rider could take advantage she swung back up to the ledge and gripped it with all four big claws.

[MAGIC TOUCHIE GO!] Symbol ran forwards as green coloured lightning covered the Tidal Slasher Claws. [SLASHER MAGIC PLEASE!] She jumped into the air as she went for the face of the Succubus Phantom then started to slash at it several times. Each slash gave off a burst of green lightning that just added to the amount of damage being done to the Phantom.

“Stop it you little piece of puss!” shouted the Phantom as she vomited a small amount of acid.

“ARGH!” screamed Symbol in pain as sparks exploded off her body from the acid ball hitting her in the chest plate.

“SIS!” shouted Dante as Symbol slammed into the ground with sparks coming from her armour. Dante turned to the Succubus Phantom with an enraged glare. [SET!] “Your gonna pay for that!” he roared. [OPEN!] Dante transformed into the Demon Style. [A-R-B-I-T-E-R!] He pulled Arbiter off his back and ran forwards as he punched the Demon Ring onto the back of Arbiter’s blade. [FIVE!] Which opened to reveal five red circles. [DEMON AXE STRIKE!] Then Dante jumped into the air. [DEMON AXE STRIKE!] Red energy ran from the Arbiter Axe’s grip into the blade. The energy surrounded Dante as he came shooting down. Dante slammed the Arbiter Axe into the top of the Succubus Phantom’s head, making her faceplant into the top of the platform that Symbol was climbing back to her boots on.

“Nice one Dante,” muttered Symbol as she got back up. Her chest plate was still smoking from the acid burns.

“Feel free to join in!” shouted Dante as he landed back on the ground and jumped back from a claw slam.

“I’m on it!” shouted Symbol as she switched the Active Ring for the Giga Ring and pressed the left Shift Lever. [MAGICAL TOUCH HENSHIN!] She scanned the Active Ring across the Wizard Driver’s Hand Author. [GIGA PLEASE!] The giga magic circle appeared under her boots and rose up through Symbol, transforming her into the Giga Style. [BREAK THROUGH!] After which Symbol ran towards the Succubus Phantom as she was starting to get up. [MAGICAL TOUCH SPELL!] Green mana covered her right fist as Symbol pulled her right arm back. [GIGA C RANK SPELL!] Her fist hit the Succubus Phantom square in the face and sent out a green shockwave as the Phantom flinched backwards.

[SET!] Dante jumped into the air. [OPEN!] Passing through the angel magic circle. [O-S-I-R-I-S!] Transforming into the Angel Style. [ONE!] Then he started to spin the Osiris Scythe. [ANGEL SCYTHE STRIKE!] The weapon started to move so fast that it was nothing but a blur. [ANGEL SCYTHE STRIKE!] Light blue mana gathered around the Osiris Scythe before being fired off in a line. The line curved in on itself. “Hanger!” transforming into a circle of spinning light blue mana and spun as it cut into the face of the Succubus Phantom. The Phantom screamed in pain as sparks flew from her face and several micro explosions detonated around it.

The Phantom broke the attack and her four smaller clawed hands started to glow with sickly yellow mana as she pulled them back.

[MAGICAL TOUCH SPELL!] “This doesn’t look good!” muttered Symbol. [GIGA A RANK SPELL!] Her body glowed with green mana as she pressed the left Shift Lever four times. [MAGICAL TOUCH GO!] The Wizard Driver’s Hand Author flipped to the right. [VERY NICE!] Before flipping back to the left. [GIGA! S RANK SPELL!] Symbol scanned the Giga Ring across it. [THE BEST!] The green mana around her body started to roar with power. “Giga Embodiment!” speaking of roaring, Symbol did just that as the mana surged outwards from her body.

The Succubus Phantom fired four beams, one from each of her claws that slammed into the dome of green mana around Symbol.

Symbol growled her boots slid backwards, then to her horror the dome cracked and the beams slammed into her chest plate, sending Symbol shooting backwards with sparks coming from her body.

“SUNSET!” shouted Dante in horror as he pulled out Ebony before punching the Angel Ring into the back of its hammer. [ANGEL!] Three magical energy rings appeared in the air, the first was black and the other two were light blue. All three of them were pulled into Ivory as the gun charged with power. [EBONY STRIKE!] Dante took aim as the charging finished and pulled the gun’s trigger. “Angel Darkness!” shouted Dante as a beam of black and light blue energy was fired from the hand cannon. It slammed into the Succubus Phantom’s face and made the Phantom’s previously smug grin transform into a roar of pain and hurt from the beam.

With a snarl she built up power in her four smaller clawed hands once again.

“Not a chance!” snarled Dante as he swapped Ebony for Ivory and punched the Angel Ring into the back of the hand cannon’s hammer. [ANGEL!] Three rings of mana appeared in the air, the first was pure white while the other two were light blue. [IVORY STRIKE!] Dante took aim as the magical energy was pulled into the hand cannons barrel and once the charging was complete both he and the Succubus Phantom fired at the same time. “Angel Light!” shouted Dante. A barrage of white and light blue energy blasts shot of the Ivory, transforming into a storm of feather that slammed into the four beams. The contact point kept shifting as the two powers pressed against each other until the energy built up between them and exploded, sending both Dante and the Succubus Phantom skidding backwards.

[MAGICAL TOUCH HENSHIN!] [BURST PLEASE!] [CAST THE SPELL!] By this time Symbol had recovered and transformed into the Burst Style. [MAGICAL TOUCH GO!] She held up her right glove as it was covered in a red glow. [BURST! C RANK SPELL!] Four sparks appeared in the air around her and then burst into four orbs of flame. Symbol point with her glove and they shot forwards. The Succubus Phantom formed her water-acid shields again but at a twist of Symbol’s glove the orbs weaved around the shields and got into the face of the Succubus Phantom before exploding violently.

“I’ll murder you in cold blood you pathetic little abominations!” screeched the Succubus Phantom in anger.

“Good luck with that,” was Symbol’s sarcastic reply as she materialized the Burst Staff before pulling open its Hand Author. [COME ON A SPELL SHAKE HANDS] Then Symbol quickly scanned the Burst Ring across the Burst Staff’s Hand Author. [BURST! SPELL STRIKE!] She held up the staff as purple mana leaked out of it. “Four Burst Spears!” shouted Symbol as the mana took on the form of four purple spears that were made of solid mana. They shot forwards and surrounded the Succubus Phantom before shooting inwards. It was only thanks to the Phantom jerking her head to the side that she did not lose her eyes. That being said having four long spear stabbing into her face and then shattering to add more damage was just as painful.

“You are going to die!” screamed the Succubus Phantom as she pulled back all four of her large clawed hands and slammed them down towards Symbol.

[MAGICAL TOUCH GO!] She replied to the threat and attack by holding her right glove up as it was covered in purple magical energy. [BURST! B RANK SPELL!] Water particles in the air were pulled together, forming four mirrors of white ice. Symbol gestured with her right glove and they locked together into a single large mirror. [MAGICAL TOUCH GO!] Symbol held up her right glove. [VERY NICE!] Flicked it to the side. [BURST! S RANK SPELL!] Before pointing down to the ground. [THE BEST!] The mirror transformed into a large wall of ice. “Mirror Wall!” shouted Symbol as the fists hit the mirror and were sent backwards from the shockwave that the dome let out as it shattered into a million little pieces.

[SET!] [OPEN!] [N-E-P-H-I-L-I-M!] Dante transformed back into the Nephilim Style and punched the Nephilim Ring into the base of the Rebellion Blade’s handle. [TWO!] The mouth opened, revealing a pair of red and blue circles. [NEPHILIM SABER STRIKE!] Red energy covered the Rebellion Blade as Dante spun around, slashing at one of the Succubus Phantom’s large claws several times before ending on a hard downwards slash to the Phantom’s stomach. [NEPHILIM SABER STRIKE!] Red and blue energy gathered around the Rebellion Blade as both of its eyes flashed. “Death Coil!” shouted Dante as he began to rapidly spin, cutting into the Succubus Phantom’s stomach over fifty times in less than one second. The attack went on for about ten seconds before Dante stopped spinning and jumped back from the four smaller clawed hands that made to grab him in an attempt to crush the Kamen Rider.

“You will pay for that you little piece of puss!” shouted the Succubus Phantom as one of her larger clawed hands reached up to grab him.

Dante quickly punched the Nephilim Ring into his Driver’s left slot. [GO! KICK STRIKE!] He covered his right boot in red and blue energy as the eyes of the Rebellion Blade flashed. “I don’t think so! Drive Kick!” shouted Dante as he booted that attack to the side. His boot fired a crescent of red and blue energy which the Succubus Phantom batted out of the air with one of her other claws.

Suddenly, Dante looked up as a shadow fell over him. It was another giant clawed hand that was coming down towards him. “Shit!” he reached for the Rebellion Blade but he knew he would not get it out in time!

[MAGICAL TOUCH HENSHIN!] Symbol had seen that her brother was in trouble. [GIGA PLEASE!] She replied to it by transforming into the Giga Style. [BREAK THROUGH!] Then pulling out the Giga Spear. Then she pulled open its Hand Author. [COME ON A STAB SHAKE HANDS!] Before scanning the Giga Ring across it. [GIGA! STAB STRIKE!] Symbol thrust the Giga Spear forwards, firing a beam of green mana from the tip. “Piercing Giga!” it roared through the air and slammed into the Succubus Phantom’s limb, sending sparks flying from it as it was forced off course, missing Dante by less than an inch.

“Thanks sis!” shouted Dante as he landed back on the ground, before falling to one knee, this fight was starting to take its toll.

“Don’t mention it!” replied Symbol.

Dante recovered just in time to get out of the way of a claw swing and opened fire at the Succubus Phantom’s face with Ebony and Ivory.

“Stop shooting me with your pathetic little pea shooters you little freak!” shouted the Succubus Phantom as the bullets bounced off. She swatted at Dante in anger, which only grew as he dodged with ease.

Symbol switched the Giga Ring for the Swift Ring and pressed the left Shift Lever. [MAGICAL TOUCH HENSHIN!] The swift magic circle appeared over her helmet and fell down through Symbol. [SWIFT PLEASE!] Transforming her into the Swift Style.  [DASH AWAY!] She pulled out the Swift Blaster and pulled open its Hand Author. [COME ON A BLAST SHAKE HANDS!] Then she scanned the Swift Ring across it. [SWIFT! BLASTER STRIKE!] Bright yellow mana gathered in front of the Swift Blaster. “Bullet Barrage!” yelled Symbol as the gun fired a barrage of yellow mana bullets. Half arced to the left and the other half arsed to the right before smashing into the Phantom’s face, each bullet ignited a large explosion.

“I will slaughter you all!” screamed the Succubus Phantom as veins of orange energy lanced up her arms and she pulled them back before slamming them into the ground.

[MAGIC TOUCHIE HENSHIN!] Symbol jumped through the wing and sniper magic circles. [WING SNIPER PLEASE!] She flew into the air with the Flight, avoiding the shock waves as they roared through the ground.

[SET!] [OPEN!] [O-S-I-R-I-S!] Dante jumped into the air, transforming into the Angel Style. He started to fall back towards the ground as he turned the handle of the Osiris Scythe. [HOOK MODE!] Making it transform into the Angel Lift which had latched around Symbol’s boot to pull himself back up. [KICK STRIKE GO!] Seeing an opening he covered his right boot in light blue wind and shot down. It looked like a tornado was shooting towards the Succubus Phantom as he boots made contact.

The Phantom roared in pain as laid on the ground, groaning from the damage and exhaustion.

[MAGICAL TOUCH HENSHIN!] [ACTIVE PLEASE!] [LET’S GO!] Symbol transformed back into the Active Style. [MAGIC TOUCHIE HENSHIN!] Then she changed into the Ice Bind Style. [ICE BIND PLEASE!] Once that was done she pulled back the Grapple Gauntlet. [MAGIC TOUCHIE GO!] Orange energy gathered around it. [BIND MAGIC PLEASE!] Symbol fired a chain into the Succubus Phantom’s mouth and slammed her back down into the platform.

“Hey! Succubus!” shouted Dante as he pressed the trigger on the Osiris Scythe. [ANGEL SCYTHE STRIKE!] He spun the weapon around a couple of times before tearing it up through the platform. “Drive!” he shouted as a crescent of light blue mana was fired towards the Succubus Phantom. It impacted her face and made her lose her grip on the platform, leaving her hanging helplessly.

Symbol fired another chain and pulled the second wire off the cuff.

The Succubus Phantom pulled herself back up with a roar. “Your going to be pulled apart! Just like your mother!” she screamed as her body was covered in orange veins of glowing energy.

“Time to go!” shouted Dante. [KICK STRIKE GO!] He jumped into the air and kicked the air behind him, flying forwards on the light blue wind until he landed back on the first platform.

[MAGIC TOUCHIE HENSHIN!] [BOOST DEFEND PLEASE!] “I’m with you on that one!” shouted Symbol as she transformed into the Active Boost Defend Style. [MAGIC TOUCHIE GO!] She jumped to one rock. [BOOST MAGIC PLEASE!] Before leaping to a second rock as she then jumped to the first platform landing next to her brother.

They had escaped just in time as the Succubus Phantom smashed the platform that the two Kamen Rider’s had been standing on to rubble before swinging over to them in complete lividness. “You disgusting children! I’m going to pull off your heads, piss down your necks and then shit on your worthless carcasses!” she screamed in utter fury at the fact they had lasted this long.

No matter which way you looked at it, this was the final part of the fight.

[MAGIC TOUCHIE HENSHIN!] [SLASHER AQUA PLEASE!] Symbol transformed back into the Active Slasher Aqua Style as she crossed the Tidal Slasher Claws to block one of the Succubus Phantom’s giant clawed hands.

[SET!] [OPEN!] [A-R-B-I-T-E-R!] Dante transformed back into the Demon Style as he pulled the Arbiter Axe off his back. [FOUR!] The Arbiter Axe pulsed with red magical energy. [DEMON AXE STRIKE!] Dante smashed it down on one of the Succubus Phantom’s hands and the axe unleashed three pulses of red energy that caused the Phantom to flinch in pain and release Symbol before she could stop herself from doing the action in question.

[MAGIC TOUCHIE GO!] Water was pulled from under the platform. [AQUA MAGIC PLEASE!] It circled around Symbol’s Slasher Tidal Claws as she pulled them back. [MAGICAL TOUCH GO!] The water was pulled off the claws. [VERY NICE!] It hovered around Symbol and transformed. [SLASHER AQUA MAGIC] Turning into six spheres of water. [THE BEST!] Symbol threw her arms forwards. “Water Claws!" She shouted as the water spheres turned into a giant claw of water which cut into the face of the Succubus Phantom, making her wail in pain as sparks flew from the impact and explosions bleed from the cut.

[GO! KICK STRIKE!] Dante then took advantage of Arbiter’s setting as red energy gathered around his right boot. Once his leg was completely covered, Dante unleashed a side kick that fired nine rings of red magical energy. They pulsed through the air as they slammed into the face of the Succubus Phantom painfully making even more sparks explode from the wound.

The Succubus Phantom screamed in pain and rage. An orange bulge appeared in her stomach before moving up to her throat. Symbol switched the Slasher and Aqua Rings for the Boost and Defend Rings before pressing the right Shift Lever. [MAGIC TOUCHIE HENSHIN!] Then she scanned her right glove across the Wizard Driver’s Hand Author. [BOOST DEFEND PLEASE!] The two magic circles appeared to her right before moving through Symbol. [MAGIC TOUCHIE GO!] Purple energy ran into the Boost Grieves while grey magical energy surged through the Defend Shield. [VERY NICE!] The purple energy was pulled into the Defend Shield. [BOOST DEFEND MAGIC!] “GET BEHIND ME DANTE!” screamed Symbol as she held up the Defend Shield. [THE BEST!] A wall of purple energy mixed with grey mana came from the Defend Shield as Dante jumped behind Symbol.

The Succubus Phantom threw her head forwards as she spewed orange acid at the two Kamen Rider’s. Most of it hit the wall and splashed off, but some of the acid got under the shield and reached Symbol’s boots.

“ARGH!” screamed Symbol in pain as her boots sparked painful.

[ONE!] “SUNSET!” shouted Dante as he jumped over her. [DEMON AXE STRIKE!] He swung the Arbiter Axe down as red magical energy gathered around it. The energy was fired off in the form of a spinning axe head construct. It smashed into the head of the Succubus Phantom and made sparks fly from the impact.

But she did not stop spewing out acid and Symbol was starting to lose strength.

With a snarl Dante punched the Demon Ring into his Driver’s left slot. [GO! KICK STRIKE!] He spun around and threw a spin kick. Red energy that had been blazing around his left boot flew off and formed into the shape of two axe head construct that spun through the air. They curved around and exploded as they smashed into the Succubus Phantom’s head from either side making sparks explode from her body.

She was somehow still spewing.

“Oh come on!” shouted Dante in anger.

Symbol was trying to fight off the pain as she dimly thought. ‘Why did I suddenly think of a girl that had ice cream hair when Dante said that?!’ she thought in disbelief at how lucid she still was.

Finally, the Succubus Phantom stopped spewing acid at Symbol.

“At last!” muttered Symbol as the pain ended.

Only for the Succubus Phantom to start building up acid, this could be seen by the orange glow traveling up from her stomach to her mouth.

“YOU CANNOT BE SERIOUS!” roared Symbol in sheer anger as she switched the Active Ring for the Burst Ring then pressed the left Shift Lever once. [MAGICAL TOUCH HENSHIN!] After which she scanned her left glove across the Wizard Driver’s Hand Author. [BURST PLEASE!] The burst magic circle appeared behind Symbol and moved through her. [CAST THE SPELL!] She transformed into the Burst Style.

By this time the acid had completed half of its journey from the Succubus Phantom’s stomach to her mouth.

[MAGIC TOUCHIE HENSHIN!] [DUST MIRROR PLEASE!] Symbol transformed into the Burst Dust Mirror Style as the Succubus Phantom opened her mouth. Symbol struck the right Shift Lever once more. [MAGIC TOUCHIE GO!] Before scanning her right glove across the Wizard Driver’s Hand Author. [MIRROR MAGIC PLEASE!] Symbol flung up her right glove just as the Succubus Phantom vomited a high-pressure stream of yellow/green acid at her. A wall of silver coloured mana snapped into being just in front of Symbol, right before the acid could reach her. Symbol growled as she tried to make a copy of the acid from the mirror to fling back at the Succubus Phantom so that she could have a taste of her own medicine.

But then Symbol’s visors went wide as she found that she could not do so!

Her visors narrowed in thought. ‘Don’t tell me that this mirror can’t stop continuous attacks!’ she mentally shouted. At that moment the wall lost all of its shine and the acid started to leak under it.

“NOT AGAIN!” shouted Symbol as she acid reached her boots and sparks flew from them. This time the damage was even worse as smoke started to come from Symbol’s boots adding to the pain.

“SUNSET!” shouted Dante as he moved towards her.

“DANTE DON’T!” shouted Symbol.

Dante skidded to a halt. “What?! Why?!” he demanded.

“You don’t have a single command that’s defensive!” shouted Symbol as she jerked her helmet at the Succubus Phantom. “Just stop that thing!”

Dante looked hesitant. “But-!”

“NOW!” screamed Symbol as the pain started to get to her.

The tone convinced Dante as switched the Demon Ring for the Nephilim Ring and punched it into his Driver’s left slot. [SET!] He turned his wrist back to make his Driver’s gate close before turning his wrist forwards to make his Driver’s gate spring open again. [OPEN!] The nephilim magic circle appeared from Dante’s Driver before moving back through him. [N-E-P-H-I-L-I-M!] Dante was transformed into the Nephilim Style as he pressed down on the Rebellion Blade’s trigger. [NEPHILIM SABER STRIKE!] Red and blue magical energy was charged into the blade as the eyes flashed. Red and blue mana cloaked the Rebellion Blade as Dante flipped it into a reverse-handed grip before swinging it. This fired a giant crescent of red and blue energy that slammed into the side of the Succubus Phantom’s face, causing her to stop vomiting.

Only for her to start charging up her vomit attack.

“YOU CANNOT BE FUCKING SERIOUS!” shouted Dante. “DO SOMETHING ELSE ALREADY!” he shouted.

But it was no use. The Succubus Phantom had seen how much damage she had done to Symbol with this attack. It was the most damage she had done to one of the Kamen Rider’s since the fight started. You know the old saying: If it isn’t broken then it doesn’t need to be fixed.

[MAGICAL TOUCH HENSHIN!] [GIGA PLEASE!] [BREAK THROUGH!] “I really hope this one works!” muttered Symbol as she transformed into the Giga Style. [MAGIC TOUCHIE HENSHIN!] [PUNCH DRILL PLEASE!] Then into the Giga Punch Drill Style. [MAGIC TOUCHIC GO!] [DRILL MAGIC PLEASE!] Symbol pulled back her left fist as the drills on the end of the Punch Drillers started to spin and generated purple mana. She slammed her fist onto the ground and several drills burst from it in the shape of a wall. The stream of acid was blocked for several seconds when the drills started to melt. Symbol narrowed her visors as several more drills burst from the ground, blocking more of the acid attack.

In reply the Succubus Phantom increased the amount of acid she was spitting at Symbol.

Symbol responded by increasing the thickness of the wall with more drills. Then she noticed Dante staring at the super-powered catfight. “HEY! DANTE! A LITTLE HELP!” she shouted at her brother in fury.

“What-? Oh! Right!” it took Dante a few seconds to snap out of his daze. He switched the Nephilim Ring for the Angel Ring and punched it into his Driver’s left slot. [SET!] He turned his wrist back to make his Driver’s gate close and then turned his wrist forwards making his Driver’s gate spring back open again. [OPEN!] The angel magic circle appeared from Dante’s Driver then moved back into him. [O-S-I-R-I-S!] This transformed Dante into the Angel Style as he pulled the Osiris Scythe off his back and ran towards the Succubus Phantom, the light blue wind came off his body and trailed behind Dante giving him some extra speed.

[TWO!] Light blue mana gathered around the blade of the Osiris Scythe. [ANGEL SCYTHE STRIKE!] Dante punched the Angel Ring into the left slot of his Driver. [KICK STRIKE GO!] Light blue wind wrapped around his boots as Dante kicked the Succubus Phantom in the chin before vanishing as he appeared above it and kicked down with his other boot. Both impacts made sparks explode from the impact points.

But the Succubus Phantom was still spewing acid vomit at Symbol’s wall.

“This is starting to get silly!” shouted Symbol as she was beginning to run out of room to make drills.

“Tell me about it!” Dante yelled back. The Light blue wind covered his right boot. [KICK STRIKE GO!] Dante went shooting down as the wind wrapped around him, making it look like a tornado was descending to the ground. “Hey Succubus!” he shouted as his boots impact the Phantom’s face. “Suck on this!”

[MAGICAL TOUCH HENSHIN!] Symbol rolled to the left. [ACTIVE PLEASE!] Rolling through the active magic circle as she did so. [LET’S GO!] She came out the other side in the Active Style. [MAGIC TOUCHIE HENSHIN!] [ICE BIND PLEASE!] Before transforming into the Active Ice Bind Style. [MAGIC TOUCHIE GO!] [BIND MAGIC PLEASE!] Orange magical energy gathered around the Grapple Gauntlet as Symbol fired a chain of orange energy that she used to pull the Succubus Phantom forwards. This yanked her backside out of the cuff.

This left her to fall into the acid water down below.

After several seconds the two Kamen Rider’s looked down over the edge of the platform they were on.

“Is that it?” asked Dante.

“Looks like it,” replied Symbol.

“Mission accomplished,” shrugged Dante as the two of them turned around and started to walk back the way they came.

“I’m shock that you know that word,” Symbol teased her younger turned older brother cheekily.

“Shut up,” groaned Dante as he punched his sister in the shoulder pauldron.

Just before they reached the fan the ground before them started to crack.

“Dante?” asked Symbol as the ground cracked some more.

“Yeah?” asked her brother.

“We were wrong about the mission being over. Weren’t we?” she sighed as something could be seen under the cracks.

“Yep!” replied Dante as the Succubus Phantom burst through the stonework.

She tried to punch them, but the Kamen Rider’s jumped over the punch as the stonework was turned into several little platforms and islands floating in the acid water. Clearly, the stonework had been treated as it was not melting.

The Succubus Phantom was climbing towards the Kamen Riders.

“We should have guessed that she’d been immune to her own acid,” muttered Dante.

“You got that right,” replied Symbol.

“I told you! You can’t kill me!” screamed the Succubus Phantom as she climbed over the wreckage towards the siblings.

Dante transformed the Osiris Scythe into the Angel Lift. [HOOK MODE!] He grabbed Symbol and lifted them both to another small island that had once been one of the bridge’s pillars.

Symbol pressed the right Shift Lever twice. [MAGIC TOUCHIE GO!] She fired a chain of orange magical energy. [BIND MAGIC PLEASE!] It wrapped around part of the island the Succubus Phantom, was standing on and Symbol pulled it out from under the Phantom.

“YOU LITTLE! I’M GOING TO! ARGH!” screamed the Succubus Phantom as she was pulled away by the current. She was just able to grab onto a rock and stop herself with two of her large claws before pulling herself back up.

[MAGIC TOUCHIE GO!] Symbol fired another orange mana chain. [BIND MAGIC PLEASE!] Before bracing herself and pulling the Succubus Phantom back into the water acid. “Split up!” she ordered.

[KICK STRIKE GO!] “I can agree to that!” shouted Dante as he jumped to a rock. The Succubus Phantom lunged at him, trying to snatch Dante out of the air, but missed. She lunged again, but Dante sidestepped making her claws scratch against the platform. But the Succubus Phantom had been caught in the current and pulled away, she grabbed onto a rock to stop herself.

[MAGIC TOUCHIE HENSHIN!] The Succubus Phantom looked to see Symbol standing next to the rock she was holding onto. [HAMMER QUAKE PLEASE!] Symbol hit the right Shift Lever once. [MAGIC TOUCHIC GO!] “You know what your problem is?” demanded Symbol as she scanned her right glove across the Wizard Driver’s Hand Author. [HAMMER MAGIC PLEASE!] “Your too clingy!” shouted Symbol as the Piston Hammer’s pistons pulled back.

“DON’T DO IT!” screamed the Succubus Phantom in fear for the first time since the fight started.

“Do it!” shouted Dante.

[MAGIC TOUCHIC GO!] [VERY NICE!] [HAMMER QUAKE MAGIC!] [THE BEST!] “Doing it! Hammer Piston!” roared Symbol as she brought the Piston Hammer down. There was an explosion of black magical energy as the rock the Succubus Phantom had been holding onto nearly exploded!

“NNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!” screamed the Succubus Phantom as she was pulled towards the fan by the current it was generating. She thrashed around for several seconds as she tried to grab a rock, a hand hold, something, anything to stop herself from being crushed.

But it was useless.

The Succubus Phantom reached the fan and was able to grab onto the sides of its framework in an effect to stop herself.

It did not work.

At all.

The current was too strong and pulled her in, the fan smashed her head against the wall twice before sparks flew from the wound and cracks spread through her body. Then the Succubus Phantom went up in a giant explosion that caused waves and made the whole factory shake.

“Finale,” stated Symbol.

“Yeah,” replied Dante. Suddenly the Demon Ring appeared in front of him and lit up like a shining star! “Now I see what you have to go through!” shouted Dante as he covered his visors with one glove.

When Dante could see again, the single Demon Ring had become a pair of rings. The first was silver with a red gemstone in the centre which had a dark red axe carved into the centre of it. The second ring was identical to the first ring, expect it had a pair of blood red fists engraved into the centre of it instead of an axe.

Then the Succubus Phantom’s body glowed before transforming into a pair of new rings that flew towards Symbol as she snatched them out of the air.

“Uh,” muttered Dante. “I guess you could say,”

“Please don’t say it!” begged Symbol.

“That she’s all washed up!” finished Dante as he ignored his sister.

Symbol groaned, then froze. “Why did I have an image of a rainbow haired girl in my head and want to punch her when you said that?” she muttered.

“Not clue,” replied Dante. “Was she hot?” he asked.

*WHAM!*

Dante was now on the ground with a steaming lump coming from his helmet.
> S1E8 Overturn
> --------------------------------------------------------------------------

Kate was talking on her phone via her Bluetooth earpiece. “Yeah. We’ll meet you there,” she paused. “See you soon Vergil, love you too,” Kate reached up and turned off the earpiece. The camera then panned out to reveal that she was in her car. Dante was in the passenger seat while Sunset laid across the back.

“You two-seam tight. How’d you meet?” asked Dante.

Sunset, who had been falling asleep, shifted in order to listen as this conversation had her attention.

“Is it relevant?” asked Kate as she glanced at Dante.

“Trust issues,” stated Dante as if that explained everything. Which it kind of did.

“I like to know who we’re risking life and limb with,” Sunset explained her reason for wanting to know. 

Kate remained silent.

“Vergil’s our Brother,” Sunset pressed on. “He’s trying to save the world. Dante is a Brother to me and a jerk to most other people, while wanting to get back at Wiseman for our Mother’s murder as well as our Father’s banishment. I enjoy fighting and want to stop Wiseman from using earth as a factory. What’s your reason? Why is a girl with a figure that most others would kill for and could make a killing as a model or tattoo artist, working for a ragtag team of people who have been labelled as terrorists?”

Kate looked at the road for a full minute and was still silent.

Finally, Dante spoke up. “Listen, neither of us ever asked for your help but you gave it and we both appreciate it.”

Sunset nodded in agreement with what her brother was saying.

“We trust you and you can trust us too,” finished Dante.

Kate shifted in her seat and finally replied. “He rescued me,” she pulled back her hood. Letting the two Kamen Rider’s see her short, brown, choppy hair for the first time. “I was in a foster home. My foster Father was a Phantom. He attacked me most nights. I had to get out.”

Dante put two and two together. “The nightmares,” it was not a question but a statement of fact.

“Sorry about bringing this up,” Sunset now regretted pressuring Kate into telling them this story.

“It’s ok,” comforted Kate. “I felt nothing. I couldn’t physically escape, so I found another way,” Kate paused as her eyes stared sightlessly into the distance. “I aimlessly wandered the Slip Dimension in spirit form. It was there that Vergil and myself meet for the first time. He heard my cries for help.”

Dante and Sunset glanced at each other. This explained why Kate would go to the Slip Dimension to escape her nightmares. If a Phantom was attacking her every night then it must have been horrible. Whereas in the Slip Dimension they would not have been able to attack a ghost.

Kate continued. “He helped me deal with my demons. Both figuratively and the closest thing you can get to literally,” Kate looked at Dante and Sunset. “I killed the bastard,” she stated plainly. 

“Should I say good riddance as he attacked you every night, or feel sorry that someone so young was forced to take her first life?” asked Sunset.

“I’d do both,” replied Dante.

Kate continued her story. “After that Vergil took me into The Order. At first, I was just another human he had helped before it turned into more.”

Dante raised an eyebrow. “You and Vergil are together?” he asked.

“Yeah,” replied Kate. “It’s been nice, even though at one point he was going to erase my memories-.”

She was cut off by Dante’s shouted. “WHAT?”

“Why?!” demanded Sunset.

Kate sighed. “At one point he had to use his Upgraded Form to protect me.”

“The what?” asked Dante.

“It’s the next level of power for a Kamen Rider. A more powerful form of their base form, an Upgraded Form,” explained Kate.

“How do you get it?” asked Dante.

“No clue,” replied Kate. “Anyway at first Vergil thought it was an upgrade of his Demon Power, each time he used it the Upgraded From devoured a small piece of his humanity. He got more and more violent. Just as Vergil was about to erase both of our memories so he would not have to use it to protect me, I asked him to try his Angel Powers with it. Vergil tried and it worked.”

“Let me guess,” interrupted Sunset. “The more he used his upgraded angel powers the more it counteracted the demon powers and the more the effects were reversed. Returning Vergil to normal.”

“Meaning he had no reason to wipe your memories,” finished Dante.

“Dot on,” replied Kate. Then she chuckled. “Vergil could not stop apologising as he banged his head on a wall,” she grew serious. “Now I want to deal with the Phantom threat once and for all. You two are going to stick with us to the end, right?” asked Kate. She ended on a more hopeful note as she did not want them to leave.

“Count on it,” replied Dante grimly.

“Ditto,” replied Sunset with an equal amount of seriousness in her voice. 


One hour later on a bridge


“You’ve done very well,” commented Vergil. Right before he broke out in sweat at the look Sunset was giving him. It was the ‘I’m very mad at what you just said, correct it or I’ll make you wish Wiseman had killed you’ look. “I mean that all three of you have done well,” the look vanished to Vergil’s relief.

Dante was rolling across the ground laughing.

Kate was off to the side giggling.

Vergil composed himself. “We’ve dealt with the Succubus Phantom so people will be waking up and actually noticing what is happening around them. This will have hurt Wiseman and got his attention.

“Should I be happy that we hurt the Evil Phantom King. Or be terrified that we have his attention?” asked Sunset.

“Both,” came the simple reply from Dante, Vergil and Kate.

“That’s not very comforting,” whimpered Sunset.

Vergil ignored her. “Now to land the second blow and disable Wiseman’s monitoring network,” he turned around and crossed the road.

Kate followed Vergil.

After a second and a shared look the other two members of the group followed after their brother.

“Raptor News Tower,” explained Vergil. “Controlled by Wiseman, they have a monopoly over the world’s media: News, advertising and entertainment.”

“Mind control,” Dante cut Vergil off. 

“Can’t forget that,” chirped Sunset.

“Yes,” stated Vergil. “As well as surveillance. They spy on the populace through their network of satellites, routers and CCTV Cameras.”

“That reminds me,” Sunset turned to Vergil. “I thought the Phantom Race was completely male.”

“They are,” replied Vergil.

“Then what about the Succubus?” asked Dante as he saw where Sunset was going with this topic. 

Vergil gained a disgusted look. “Some of the more greedy members of attacked planets offered to sell out their planets in exchange for immunity from the conversion, or in the female’s case not being killed. These planets were ones that had powerful enough defences to give Phantom’s trouble.”

Dante sneered at that. “I’m guessing it did not work.”

“Oh it did,” replied Vergil. “At first.”

“How?” asked Sunset.

“When the planets were converted the males who had sold out their species were converted as they no longer had a use. Whereas the females were linked into the hive mind as broodmares to breed the next generation of males who would be converted the second they had been born,” explained Vergil.

“I’m guessing that the Succubus Phantom was one of them?” questioned Sunset rhetorically. 

“Yes,” replied Vergil. “Now back to the point. The cameras are not only how Wiseman monitors humanity. But if someone looks like they are about to gain immunity from an overdose to Virility, then that person is pulled into the Slip Dimension by the cameras to be killed off while the drink stops people from noticing that they are missing. In some cases, the person vanishes in the middle of the street and no one notices. That’s how powerful Virility was.”

“We found this out when Dante got us pulled into the Slip Dimension,” interrupted Sunset with a growl.

“What’s the plan?” asked Dante as he tried to move the conversation away from his blunder.

Vergil turned to the only human female in the little group. “Kate,” he ordered.

“The Raptor News Network is run by a Phantom, Bob Barbs,” explained Kate.

“Bob Barbas, the guy that spent years bashing Dante on the news is a Phantom? I am so going to enjoy this!” stated Sunset in glee.

Vergil chuckled. “If I could then I would join you in getting revenge on our Brother’s behalf.”

“So he’s more than just a fucking dick and he’s in that tower?” asked Dante, want to make sure he got this right.

“Not that tower,” replied Kate as she pointed down to the water that the bridge was made to cross. “That one.”

“Huh?” both Dante and Sunset asked at the same time, complete confused.

“In the Slip Dimension that’s not a reflection, that’s the real deal,” explained Vergil. “It’s a prison and Barbas rungs it cruelly. There’s no mercy and no escape,” he turned to Kate. “Prepare the gateway,” he ordered.

Kate moved to do so.

Vergil turned back to his siblings. “The two of you will have to go alone this time. Kate can’t follow where your heading.”

“Alone is fine, she’s done enough” replied Dante.

“Plus we’re never alone so long as we have each other,” added Sunset.

Vergil and Dante nodded in agreement.

“Speaking of pluses there won’t be any camera’s down there,” commented Kate form where she was painting the magic circle. 

“Good,” replied Dante.

Kate came up to them. “Dante, Sunset, we don’t know much about this Phantom,” she warned. “You’ll be going in blind.

“I’m sure it will be lovely!” came the sarcastic reply from Dante as he and Sunset were pulled into the Slip Dimension.

“You know their gonna kick your ass for this later,” warned Kate.

Vergil just smirked.


Slip Dimension


Dante and Sunset vanished from the real world and appeared in the Slip Dimension.

One problem.

They were on the underside of the bridge!

It was that that moment that gravity decided to act normally and sent them both plummeting towards the water.

“I’LL KILL VERGIL FOR THIS!” shouted Sunset.

“WHAT DO YOU MEAN?!” Dante shouted back,

“I SAW HIM SMIRKING AS WE STEPPED INTO THE CIRCLE! HE KNEW THIS WOULD HAPPEN!” Sunset yelled as she explained.

“THAT BASTARD!” roared Dante as he held his Driver On Ring over his belt buckle. [DRIVER ON!] A magic circle appeared in front of Dante’s belt buckle. Only this time the circle was different. It was much clearer than before and the images inside it could be seen. 

The magic circle was mostly black, in the centre of it was a silhouette of the Rebellion Blade. It was inside a circle that had three circles in the formation of a triangle around it. The top circle contained a red outline of two fists, the right circle held a red image of the Arbiter Axe and the left circle displayed the Osiris Scythe in light blue. This was inside an eight-pointed star, inside a two-layered circle inside the layers was black runic text. 

The circle made Dante’s belt buckle grow out into his Driver as he punched the Nephilim Ring into its left slot. [SET!] “HENSHIN!” shouted Dante as he turned his wrist to make his Driver’s gate spring open. [OPEN!] The nephilim magic circle appeared from Dante’s Driver and he fell through it, transforming into Kamen Rider Dante Nephilim Style. [N-E-P-H-I-L-I-M!]

Sunset nodded as she held her own Driver On Ring over her belt buckle. [DRIVER ON!] The magic circle appeared in front of her belt, transforming it into the Wizard Driver. [PLEASE!] While hitting the water would not be like hitting a brick wall for them, unlike humans. It would still be very, very painful in their human forms. Sunset pressed the left Shift Lever, turning the Wizard Driver’s Hand Author to the left. [MAGICAL TOUCH HENSHIN!] “HENSHIN!” shouted Sunset as she scanned the Active Ring across the Wizard Driver’s Hand Author. [ACTIVE PLEASE!] She held her left hand out in front of her as the active magic circle appeared under her. [LET’S GO!] Sunset passed through the circle and emerged as Kamen Rider Symbol Active Style.

Both of the Kamen Rider’s hit the water at speed and while it might have been painful in their human forms in their true forms the two of them didn’t feel a thing.

Like Vergil had said, inside the Slip Dimension there was a real bridge under the water and the two Kamen Rider’s felt the world flip as they were now, somehow, falling upwards!

Dante landed on one of the bridge’s pillars and rolled up it as he jumped from the pillar which started to collapse before jumping to a piece of rubble that gravity had decided to ignore and just let float there.

Dante turned to look at the tower. “Well Bob,” he began as Symbol landed next to him. “Now I know why you have such an upside-down viewpoint of me and everything else all the time.”

“Good one,” commented Symbol.

The two Kamen Riders jumped to a piece of floating rubble, then to another piece before jumping from a third piece to an upside-down van that should not be staying on the road if it were not for the weirdo laws of physics in this place. Symbol and Dante arrived at one of the bridge's pillars.

“Let’s give this new ring a go!” Dante switched the Nephilim Ring for the red ring with a fist engraved into it and punched it into his Driver’s left slot. [SET!] He turned his wrist back to make his Driver’s gate close before twisting it forwards, making his Driver’s gate spring back open. [OPEN!] The new magic circle came out of Dante’s Driver. It was identical to the nephilim magic circle only coloured red, with an outline of a fist in the centre and the fist image being replaced by an image of a sword. [E-R-Y-X!] The new magic circle passed back through Dante, transforming him into his new style.

His helmet was coloured red with a pair of bright red circle shaped visors for eyes and a blood red mouth guard. His bodysuit was now coloured blood red with bright red gloves and boots. Dante’s chestplate was blood red with flame red flames painted onto the left side while his left shoulder pauldron was coloured flame red and in the shape of a pair of fists clasping together. Dante’s forearms, shins and knees were in the shape of armour and coloured flame red. Finally, his gloves were shaped like swollen red fists or large boxing gloves with silver metal carved into the first section of each finger.

This is Kamen Rider Dante Eryx Style and the weapons are called the Eryx Gauntlets.

“This should be good,” commented Symbol as she watched.

Dante pulled back the Eryx Gauntlets and punched forwards. They impacted the pillar and unleashed a shockwave of red mana that blew the pillar into pieces. “BOOM!” shouted Dante.

Symbol nodded in agreement.

Dante flicked his right arm and the back of the right Eryx Gauntlet opened to reveal a slot for a ring. He punched the Eryx Ring into the slot. [FIVE!] A holographic dice appeared above the gauntlet and spun before stopping on a five. [FIST STRIKE!] Dante jumped into the air and came down, punching his right fist into the ground.

This made the whole section of the bridge shatter!

“DANTE! WHAT ARE YOU DOING?!” shouted Symbol as she landed on a car. Thankfully the thing was floating because of the messed up gravity.

“Relax,” replied Dante. “I had it handled.”

“NO YOU DID NOT!” bellowed Symbol in anger as she added the Boost and Defend Rings to her right glove before hitting the right Shift Lever once. [MAGIC TOUCHIE HENSHIN!] Symbol scanned her right glove across the Wizard Driver’s Hand Author. [BOOST DEFEND PLEASE!] The two magic circle appeared to her right and she ran through them as she pressed the right Shift Lever again. [MAGIC TOUCHIE GO!] Then Symbol scanned the Boost Ring across the Wizard Driver’s Hand Author. [BOOST MAGIC PLEASE!] Purple energy ran into the Boost Grieves as she grabbed Dante and jumped back up to the bridge before running along the underside of it and landing on top of a floating crate which had fallen off a truck.

“You sure handled that,” stated Dante. [SIX!] [FIST STRIKE!] He pulled back his left fist and slammed it into the truck that was blocking there way. It flew forwards and broke part of the bridge before floating backwards, giving them a way back up.

“Yeah I did!” replied Symbol as she switched the Active Ring for the Swift Ring and hit the left Shift Lever. [MAGICAL TOUCH HENSHIN!] Then Symbol scanned the Swift Ring across the Wizard Driver’s Hand Author. [SWIFT PLEASE!] She held her left glove into the air and the swift magic circle appeared before falling through her. [DASH AWAY!] Symbol added the Wing and Sniper Rings to her right glove before pressing the right Shift Lever. [MAGIC TOUCHIE HENSHIN!] She scanned her right glove across the Wizard Driver’s Hand Author. [WING SNIPER PLEASE!] Symbol held her right glove into the air, the swift magic circle appeared and fell through her. [MAGIC TOUCHIE GO!] Symbol jumped into the air, grabbed Dante and gave her wings a hard flap. [WING MAGIC PLEASE!] Sending both of them flying to the truck.

Dante swapped the Eryx Ring for the Angel Ring and punched it into his Driver’s left slot. [SET!] He turned his wrist back making his Driver’s gate close before turning it forwards to make his Driver’s gate open again. [OPEN!] The angel magic circle appeared from Dante’s Driver and moved back through him. [O-S-I-R-I-S!] Transforming Dante into the Angel Style. [HOOK MODE!] He transformed the Osiris Scythe into the Angel Lift before grabbing Symbol and pulling them both back up to the bridge. But their way forwards was blocked by a large piece of metal.

Dante was about to swap the Angel Ring for the Eryx Ring but Symbol stopped him. “What is it?” he asked.

“I want to try out my new form,” explained Symbol.

Dante stepped back. “Be my guest,” he replied.

“Thank you,” Symbol switched the Swift Ring for the Giga Ring and pressed her Driver’s left Shift Lever. [MAGICAL TOUCH HENSHIN!] Symbol scanned the Giga Ring across the Wizard Driver’s Hand Author. [GIGA PLEASE!] The giga magic circle appeared under her boots and rose up through her. [BREAK THROUGH!] Symbol then added the two new rings to her right index and ring fingers. The ring on her index finger was green with a dark blue square shaped gem in the centre of it that had a golden explosion etched into it. The second ring was green with a black square shaped gem in the centre of it that had a tank tread engraved into it.

Symbol pressed the right Shift Lever. [MAGIC TOUCHIE HENSHIN!] Before scanning her right glove across the Wizard Driver’s Hand Author. [BOMBARDMENT TERRA PLEASE!] The two new magic circle appeared under her boots. The first was a golden explosion, inside a dark blue square, inside an eight-pointed star that was coloured both dark blue and gold. The star was inside another circle that had two layers and was coloured dark blue with golden text between the two layers. The second magic circle was a black tank tread, inside a black circle, inside a black eight-pointed star, inside a black circle that had two layers and black runic text between the two layers. Both of the magic circles started to rise up through Symbol, transforming her into the new Giga Substyle.

Black armour with silver outlines covered the top of her boots while her ankles shifted from gems into solid silver metal. Her shin armour transformed into black tank treads that covered her whole shins and her knee armour turned from silver to pitch black while getting thicker. The bronze square in the centre of Symbol’s chest plate transformed into a pair of logos, the first was a dark blue explosion with golden outlines and the second was a black tank tread with silver outlines. Her shoulder armour turned dark blue and shifted into the shape of a pair of squares with golden outlines. Finally coming out of her back was a pair of dark blue cannons with a black tank tread on either side of them.

This is Kamen Rider Symbol Giga Bombardment Terra Style and the cannons on her back are called the Chain Cannons.

[MAGIC TOUCHIC GO!] “Let’s see what this does!” [BOMBARDMENT MAGIC PLEASE!] Both of the Chain Cannons lit up with dark blue mana as Symbol took aim and fired a pair of blasts that blew the metal blocking their way into pieces.

“Good work,” commented Dante as the two of them ran further along the bridge when it shook and part of it broke away. From the fragments came a pair of Death Knight Phantoms.

“We were wondering when you lot were going to show up!” shouted Dante as he ran forwards, switching the Angel Ring for the Eryx Ring and punching it into his Driver’s left slot. [SET!] He turned his wrist back to make his Driver's’ gate close then turned it forwards to make the Driver’s gate open again. [OPEN!] The eryx magic circle appeared in front of Dante. [E-R-Y-X!] He ran through it, transforming into the Eryx Style. Dante then flicked his right wrist, making the slot open and punched the Eryx Ring into the back of it. [ONE!] The holographic dice appeared above the gauntlet before stopping on a one. [FIST STRIKE!] Dante pulled back his fists and punched once, twice, thrice making the Death Knight Phantom’s shield shatter.

Then Dante punched the Eryx Ring into his Driver’s left slot again. [GO! KICK STRIKE!] Red mana ran from his Driver into his right boot. “Brawler!” shouted Dante as he spun around and kicked the Death Knight Phantom, once, twice, thrice making it stagger backwards before cracks spread through its body from the impact points of the kicks. The Phantom fell over and exploded.

Dante quickly used the left Eryx Gauntlet to block a downwards slash from another Death Knight Phantom and punched it back. The Phantom blocked with its shield but was still sent skidding backwards from the force of the blow. Dante punched the Eryx Ring into his right Gauntlet. [THREE!] The holographic dice appeared above the right Eryx Gauntlet and started to spin before stopping on a three. [FIST STRIKE!] Dante pulled back the Eryx Gauntlet and charged it with red mana before unleashing a fierce uppercut. It impacted the Death Knight Phantom’s chin and sent it flying into the air before falling back down with the fragments of the Phantom’s shield raining down around it.

Dante ran forwards as pressed down on a trigger inside the left Eryx Gauntlet. [FIST STRIKE!] Red energy gathered around his left fist before coming off to form a construct of a second Eryx Gauntlet that followed the movements of the first. “Uppercut!” shouted Dante as he did just that. Sparks flew from the Death Knight Phantom as it was sent flying into the air before being struck by the second fist. Cracks spread along its body from the impact point before it exploded.

“These things are much more powerful than the Arbiter Axe!” muttered Dante in amazement. Suddenly he was struck in the chest by another Death Knight Phantom and sent skidding backwards with sparks coming from his chest plate. With a roar, he ran forwards and punched one of the Death Knight Phantom’s in the shield three times, before turned it block a stab from the second Death Knight Phantom. However, he was not quick enough and got stabbed before being hit in the back by the first Death Knight Phantom while he had turned.

Dante grunted as he hopped back and pulled out Ivory, punching the Eryx Ring into the back of the hand cannon. [ERYX!] Three rings of mana appeared and were pulled into Ivory. The first was ivory white while the other two were red. Dante took aim at the two Death Knight Phantoms as the hand cannon charged before he pulled the trigger. [IVORY STRIKE!] Out of Ivory roared a bullet that transformed into a flaming red fist that rocketed towards the two Phantoms. They both put up their shields to block it only for the defensive weapons to explode when the fist made contact with them, but this did cancel out the attack.

“Ok, so the gauntlets are power powerful than Arbiter, but they don’t have any range and are even slower than the Arbiter Axe,” muttered Dante. “Glad I found out about this now rather than when I’m fighting a real threat!” [GO! KICK STRIKE!] Dante ran forwards as his right boot was covered in red mana. Then he slid along the ground and then kicked upwards. Just before his boot made contact, the energy around it shifted into a construct of the Eryx Gauntlets that sent the two Death Knight Phantom’s shooting into the air, wrapped in red mana that made sparks explode from their bodies.

Seeing that they were not dead, Dante jumped into the air and overtook them as the two Death Knight Phantom fell back down to the ground. [FIVE!] Red energy covered his right fist. [FIST STRIKE!] Then Dante went shooting back down to the ground. [GO! KICK STRIKE!] The red magical energy around his right fist shifted to his right boot and expanded to cover Dante in a construct of an Eryx Gauntlet. He hit the ground and both of the Death Knight Phantom’s went up in explosions as Dante had landed on top of them with the construct.

Suddenly, a dozen Lesser Blade Phantom’s burst out of the ground and attacked Dante from all sides.

“You cannot be serious!” shouted Dante as he backhanded on Lesser Blade Phantom and then kicked another. But in the time it had taken him to do that he had been hit over a dozen times and the damage was starting to pile up! Dante quickly punched the Eryx Ring into the right Eryx Gauntlet. [TWO!] The holographic dice appeared above the right Eryx Gauntlet as Dante pulled back his fist. [FIST STRIKE!] Sparks flew from his body as he was hit several more times before slamming his fist into the ground. This made a red shockwave roar out from the impact point, sending all dozen Lesser Blade Phantom’s flying backwards and giving Dante some room. 

[SET!] [OPEN!] [O-S-I-R-I-S!] He transformed into the Angel Style and punched the Angel Ring into the back of the Osiris Scythe’s blade. [ONE!] Which opened to reveal a single light blue circle. [ANGEL SCYTHE STRIKE!] Dante starting spinning the deadly Osiris Scythe around like it was a harmless hula hoop. Sparks flew from the Lesser Blade Phantom’s as they were cut and slashed by the deadly polearm. Seeing micro explosions go off around the Lesser Blade Phantom’s Dante pressed the Osiris Scythe’s trigger. [ANGEL SCYTHE STRIKE!] Light blue mana travelled up the scythe from the handle and formed into the shape of a wing construct. The feathers were discharged and circled around the Osiris Scythe’s main blade, following its path as Dante used it to carve up the Phantoms. The scythe was moving so fast that it was just a ring of light with the feathers forming into four more rings. Sparks flew from the Lesser Blade Phantom’s until several of them took to much damage and exploded.

Dante took stock of his surroundings and saw that half of the Lesser Blade Phantom’s had been beaten in that one attack. He punched the Angel Ring into his Driver’s left slot. [KICK STRIKE GO!] The light blue wind gathered around his right boot as Dante got ready. The six Lesser Blade Phantoms came charging at him from the front as Dante unleashed a roundhouse kick, the wind adding to the number of sparks coming from the Lesser Blade Phantoms. “Karma!” shouted Dante as he completed his spin. The Lesser Blade Phantoms all fell to the ground and exploded.

At that moment a Frost Knight Phantom burst from the ground. Dante grimaced this thing was incredibly hard to fight as only Osiris could do any damage and it was made for fighting a lot of weaker opponents, not a single strong opponent. 

Dante punched the Angel Ring into the back of the Osiris Scythe’s blade as he leapt to the side, avoiding a wave of ice. [TWO!] The blade opened, revealing two light blue circles since Dante dashed forwards. [ANGEL SCYTHE STRIKE!] Dante slid under a slash from the Frost Knight Phantom as he pressed down on the Osiris Scythe’s trigger. [ANGEL SCYTHE STRIKE!] Light blue wind was pulled from the air and wrapped around the Osiris Scythe’s blade. “Prop!” shouted Dante as he started to spin the scythe as if it was a vertical propeller. It cut into the Phantom several times as Dante reversed the motion of the Osiris Scythe. “Shredder!” shouted Dante as the Frost Knight Phantom was slammed into the ground by his scythe. Sparks flew from the Phantom’s body as it got back to its feet quickly.

Seeing that it was nearly dead Dante was confused. “Is it just me, or is this Frost Knight weaker than the last one I fought?” he questioned to himself as he drew Ivory. He punched the Angel Ring into the back of it. [OSIRIS!] Three rings appeared from the air and were pulled into the hand cannon. The first one was ivory white while the other two were light blue. [IVORY STRIKE!] Dante took aim and pulled the trigger. “Angel Lance!” shouted Dante as a light blue bullet was fired. It shifted into the form of a scythe blade that sliced into the Frost Knight Phantom, cutting a line from its shoulder to its waist. 

The Frost Knight Phantom fell to its knees but still struggled back to its boots as white lightning crackled across its body. The cut was bleeding a waterfall of sparks as the Frost Knight Phantom failed to get back up before falling over backwards and was consumed by an explosion.

Symbol pressed the right Shift Lever twice. [MAGIC TOUCHIC GO!] Then she scanned the Giga Ring across the Wizard Driver’s Hand Author. [TERRA MAGIC PLEASE!] She took aim and the Chain Cannons fired a burst of black shotgun shells at the Death Knight Phantom which had been charging at her. The Phantom blocked with its shield only for the defence to explode and sparks were drawn out of the Death Knight Phantom’s body as several of the shotgun shells impacted it painfully.

Symbol pressed the right Shift Lever three times. [MAGIC TOUCHIC GO!] Then she scanned her right glove across the Wizard Driver’s Hand Author once more. [BOMBARDMENT TERRA MAGIC PLEASE!] The Chain Cannons took aim as they fired a pair of blue orbs followed by a blast of shotgun shells. Sparks exploded from the Death Knight Phantom as the attack hit home. The Phantom fell over and was consumed by an explosion.

Another Death Knight Phantom jumped from the ground, this time it was accompanied by a second Death Knight Phantom.

“These things don’t give up!” shouted Symbol in rage as she pressed the right Shift lever again. [MAGIC TOUCHIE GO!] She blocked a sword with her left forearm guard and punched the Phantom back as she scanned her right glove across the Wizard Driver’s Hand Author. [BOMBARDMENT PLEASE!] Symbol took aim with the Chain Cannons and fired a pair of dark blue orbs. Each one hit one of the Death Knight Phantoms and sent them skidding backwards with sparks coming from their bodies.

Symbol then pressed the right Shift Lever four times. [MAGIC TOUCHIC GO!] The Wizard Driver’s Hand Author flipped to the left. [VERY NICE!] Before flipping back to the right. [BOMBARDMENT TERRA MAGIC!] Symbol scanned her right glove across it. [THE BEST!] Dark blue mana built up in front of the Chain Cannons. “Twin Cannons!” shouted Symbol as the mana turned into a pair of column sized dark blue beams that smashed into one of the Death Knight Phantoms and sent it flying over the edge of the bridge before it exploded.

The other one charged at Symbol and was able to slash her across the chest plate twice before being kicked back by the Kamen Rider. She then pressed the right Shift lever twice. [MAGIC TOUCHIC GO!] Before scanning her right glove across the Wizard Driver’s Hand Author. [TERRA MAGIC PLEASE!] Both of the Chain Cannons fired a blast of shotgun shells that nailed the Phantom in the face and made it stagger backwards with sparks coming from the impact points.

Symbol quickly hit the right Shift Lever four more times. [MAGIC TOUCHIC GO!] The Wizard Driver’s Hand Author reset. [VERY NICE!] Symbol scanned her right glove across it. [BOMBARDMENT TERRA MAGIC!] Rocks were pulled from the bridge and formed into an orb in front of Symbol. [THE BEST!] Then it was covered in black mana and fired forwards. “Terra Cannon!” shouted Symbol as the rock impacted the Death Knight Phantom making it flying back before it was consumed by an explosion.

Then a dozen Lesser Blade Phantom burst from the ground around Symbol. [MAGIC TOUCHIC GO!] She quickly took aim with the Chain Cannons. [BOMBARDMENT TERRA MAGIC PLEASE!] Then fired a pair of dark blue magical energy blasts that were flanked by over a dozen shotgun capsules. The attack hit two of the Lesser Blade Phantoms and destroyed both of them instantly, but Symbol had been hit over two dozens times in the time it took to perform that attack.

[MAGICAL TOUCH HENSHIN!] The swift magic circle appeared over her helmet. [SWIFT PLEASE!] It fell through her, transforming Symbol into the Swift Style. [DASH AWAY!] While also knocking the Lesser Blade Phantoms that had surrounded her away. Symbol quickly hit the left Shift Lever once. [MAGICAL TOUCH GO!] Then she scanned the Swift Ring across the Wizard Driver’s Hand Author. [SWIFT! C RANK SPELL!] Five orbs of yellow magical energy appeared around her and shot outwards, piercing through five of the Lesser Blade Phantom as they were getting up, making sparks erupt from the entrance and exit points.

Symbol saw this as her chance so she pressed the right Shift Lever four times. [MAGICAL TOUCH GO!] The Wizard Driver’s Hand Author reset. [VERY NICE!] Then scanned the Swift Ring across the Wizard Driver’s Hand Author. [SWIFT! S RANK SPELL!] Five more orbs of yellow magical energy appeared around her. [THE BEST!] Before transforming into giant beams of yellow magical energy. “Swift Star!” shouted Symbol as the beams impacted in massive explosions. When the dust cleared of the twelve Lesser Blade Phantom there were now only five.

Seeing that there were still five Lesser Blade Phantom’s, but that they were badly damaged from getting caught in her last attack, Symbol pressed the left Shift Lever three times. [MAGICAL TOUCH GO!] Then she scanned the Swift Ring across the Wizard Driver’s Hand Author. [SWIFT! A RANK SPELL!] Symbol held her left glove to the sky and barrage of beams shot out of it in an inverted triangle formation, making the five Lesser Blade Phantom’s go up in explosions.

It was at that moment a Hell Knight Phantom appeared from the ground in a burst of blazing hot fire.

“I should have guessed that one of you would show up soon” shouted Symbol in anger, not having forgotten that one of these things set her on fire!

The Hell Knight Phantom replied by charging at her.

[MAGICAL TOUCH HENSHIN!] But it was knocked by the giga magic circle. [GIGA PLEASE!] Which then rose up through Symbol. [BREAK THROUGH!] This transformed her into the Giga Style as Symbol pulled out the Giga Spear. She pulled open its Hand Author. [COME ON A STAB SHAKE HANDS!] Before scanning the Giga Ring across it. [GIGA! STAB STRIKE!] Symbol spun the Giga Spear letting green magical energy gather around it. “Piercing Giga!” before stabbing forwards to send a beam flying at the Hell Knight Phantom. Said Phantom blocked with its shield but was sent skidding backwards as the shield cracked before shattering, dispelling the attack.

But this had given Symbol all the time she needed to add the Punch and Drill Rings to her right glove before hitting the right Shift Lever. [MAGIC TOUCHIE HENSHIN!] Then she scanned her right glove across the Wizard Driver’s Hand Author as the Hell Knight Phantom charged. [PUNCH DRILL PLEASE!] Only for it to be sent flying back once more as the two magic circles appeared under Symbol’s boots and rose up through her. Symbol ran towards the Hell Knight Phantom and used one of her Punch Drillers to block a slash before hitting the right Shift Lever once. [MAGIC TOUCHIC GO!] Then she scanned her right glove across the Wizard Driver’s Hand Author again as she kicked the Hell Knight Phantom back. [PUNCH MAGIC PLEASE!] The drills on the end of the right Punch Driller started to spin as Symbol pulled back her fist and punched the Hell Knight Phantom in the chest. There was enough force behind the blow to make the Phantom fall to its knees as sparks came from its chestplate. 

“Now’s my chance!” shouted Symbol as she reached down and struck the right Shift Lever four times. [MAGIC TOUCHIC GO!] The Wizard Driver’s Hand Author flipped to the left before turning back to the right. [VERY NICE!] Symbol scanned her right glove across it. [PUNCH DRILL MAGIC!] Red magical energy and red magical fire gathered around her right Punch Driller. [THE BEST!] Symbol pulled that limb back and smashed it into the ground. “Magma Smash!” bellowed Symbol as her fist hit the ground. Out of which exploded a vertical blade of magma that shot forwards and into the Hell Knight Phantom before transforming into a sphere of magma that burned sparks out of the Hell Knight Phantom before said Phantom went up in a giant explosion.

The two Kamen Riders regrouped. “Was it just me, or were others Knight Phantom’s easier to fight than normal?” asked Dante.

“It was not just you,” replied Symbol as she smashed down a piece of metal that was blocking their path. “That fight was way to easy,” muttered Symbol.

“I'm getting ready for a very hard one soon then,” commented Dante.

At that very moment, part of the bridge rippled before breaking into fragments that reared up like a snake before dropping more Death Knight Phantom’s down to the ground to confront the Kamen Riders.

“Here we go again!” shouted Symbol as she ran forwards and hit the left Shift Lever three times. [MAGICAL TOUCH SPELL!] Then scanned the Giga Ring across the Wizard Driver’s Hand Author as she was surrounded by four Death Knight Phantoms [GIGA A RANK SPELL!] They brought their swords down, but did no damage as Symbol was covered in green mana that acted as a barrier. 

While in this position, Symbol struck the right Shift Lever three times. [MAGIC TOUCHIC GO!] As the Death Knight Phantom’s were pulling back for a second attack, Symbol scanned the Punch and Drills Ring across the Wizard Driver’s Hand Author. [PUNCH DRILL MAGIC PLEASE!] The drills on the end of the Punch Drillers started to spin as they were covered in burning crimson flames. Symbol spun around drawing sparks from the Death Knight Phantom’s as the flames transformed into a pair of giant drills.

“Finale!” muttered Symbol as she materialized the Giga Axe and pulled open its Hand Author. [COME ON A SMASH SHAKE HANDS!] She quickly threw the Giga Axe into her right glove and used her left glove to shake hands with its Hand Author. [GIGA SMASH STRIKE!] Green, red and purple magical energy covered the Giga Axe as Symbol jumped into the air and came down, cutting a glowing line through the first of the four Death Knight Phantoms. “Giga,” she began as she spun around. The Giga Axe unleashed a speed line of mana that followed the path of the blade, cutting a glowing line through the other three Death Knight Phantoms that had been charging her from behind. “Strike!” finished Symbol as the four Death Knight Phantoms sparked and exploded. 

Then there was the sound of a chainsaw. Symbol turned around as in a spray of sparks a Ravager Phantom sawed its way up through the bridge. “I haven’t seen any of you in a while,” commented Symbol as she switched the Giga Ring for the Active Ring and hit the left Shift Lever. [MAGICAL TOUCH HENSHIN!] The Ravager Phantom set itself on fire and charged as Symbol scanned the Active Ring on the Wizard Driver’s Hand Author. [ACTIVE PLEASE!] The active magic circle appeared to her left and Symbol rolled through it, avoiding the Ravager Phantom’s reckless charge. [LET’S GO!] Said Ravager Phantom turned around and swiped its chainsaw at Symbol, only for her to block with the Active Blade. Sparks sprayed through the air as the two weapons met and Symbol jumped back, knowing that she needed more strength to block the Ravager Phantom’s high powered weapon.

‘The Giga Style would be too slow, so let’s do this!’ Symbol added the Slasher and Aqua Rings to her right glove before striking the right Shift Lever. [MAGIC TOUCHIE HENSHIN!] Symbol scanned her right glove just as the Ravager Phantom set itself on fire again and swung at her. [SLASHER AQUA PLEASE!] The two magic circles moved through her and the Slasher Tidal Claws appeared just in time for Symbol to block the attack. She struck the Phantom with the left claws as she hit the right Shift Lever once more. [MAGIC TOUCHIE GO!] Then she ducked under another slash as she scanned her right glove. [SLASHER MAGIC PLEASE!] Green lightning ran into the Slasher Tidal Claws as Symbol forced the chainsaw down and struck the Phantom in the face three times making it stagger back as green lightning sparked over its body.

“Finale!” shouted Symbol as she pressed the right Shift Lever four times. [MAGICAL TOUCH GO!] The Wizard Driver’s Hand Author reset as Symbol ran forwards. [VERY NICE!] She scanned her right glove as the Ravager Phantom struggled back to its feet. [SLASHER AQUA MAGIC] Green lightning shot out of the sky, through the water and into the Slasher Tidal Claws. [THE BEST!] The lightning formed into a single long claw construct around the Slasher Tidal Claws. “Slasher Slash!” shouted Symbol she rammed the left construct through the Ravager Phantom’s chest and pulled it up before stabbing it several times with the right construct. Symbol pulled the Phantom back and slammed it into the ground before pulling the left construct up through the Ravager Phantom leaving a glowing green line that made the Ravager Phantom explode.

Suddenly, Symbol’s left boot was caught in a line of ice. “Nuts!” shouted the Kamen Rider right before the ice broke as she was slashed across the back. Symbol rolled to the side as she slid the Swift Ring into the Active Ring’s place and pressed the left Shift Lever. [MAGICAL TOUCH HENSHIN!] Symbol got back to her boots as she swiped her left glove. [SWIFT PLEASE!] Then she glared at the Frost Knight Phantom as the swift magic circle fell through her. [DASH AWAY!] Symbol ran to the side, avoiding another wave of ice as she fired several bolts from the Swift Blaster. All of which impacted the Frost Knight Phantom and drew sparks but were not doing much damage to the knight-themed Phantom.

Symbol rolled over a slash as she added the Wing Ring to her right index finger and the Sniper Ring to her right ring finger before slamming her glove down on the right Shift Lever. [MAGIC TOUCHIE HENSHIN!] Symbol thrust her right glove across the Wizard Driver’s Hand Author. [WING SNIPER PLEASE!] Before jumping through the two magic circles only to be slashed across the chestplate. 

“ARGH!” shouted Symbol in pain as sparks flew from the slash. She got back to her boots and pressed the right Shift Lever twice. [MAGIC TOUCHIE GO!] Symbol quickly used the Flight Wings to avoid another wave of ice as she scanned the Sniper Ring. [SNIPER MAGIC PLEASE!] Symbol held out her right glove and the Sniper Shooter appeared before she fired a single high powered bullet from it after taking aim. The bullet was covered in a feather construct that pierced through the Phantom’s chest making sparks explode from the entrance and exit points. The Frost Knight Phantom fell to its knees in pain.

Symbol flew backwards, avoiding Dante as he was driven backwards by a Tyrant Phantom and struck the right Shift Lever four times. [MAGIC TOUCHIE GO!] Symbol rolled away from another wave of ice as she scanned her right glove. [VERY NICE!] The Wizard Driver discharged blue mana. [WING SNIPER MAGIC!] Which was pulled into the Sniper Shooter as Symbol took aim and pulled the trigger. [THE BEST!] Out of the Sniper Shooter roared a column-sized blue beam made of feather constructs. It zoomed through the air and washed over the Frost Knight Phantom, flinging it into the air where it exploded.

Symbol looked around and relaxed as she waited for Dante to finish his fight.

That was a big mistake.

What felt like an oil tanker hit Symbol from behind making her cry out in pain as sparks came from her backplate. She was grabbed and slammed into the ground by her leg, before being pulled back up and punched in the chest plate over and over. The beating lasted for several seconds before the Kamen Rider was thrown away. She slammed into a pillar and slid down to the ground in pain.

Symbol recovered before glaring at the Tyrant Phantom in rage as she switched the Swift Ring for the Giga Ring and hit the left Shift Lever. [MAGICAL TOUCH HENSHIN!] “I should have guessed that one of you was going to show up!” she shouted in anger as she slapped the Giga Ring over the Wizard Driver’s Hand Author. [GIGA PLEASE!] The giga magic circle appeared under the enraged Kamen Rider’s boots and moved up through her. [BREAK THROUGH!] Symbol transformed into the Giga Style, but she was still mad with herself for letting her guard down and hit the right Shift Lever twice. [MAGICAL TOUCH SPELL!] Symbol scanned the Giga Ring over the Wizard Driver as she ran forwards. [GIGA B RANK SPELL!] Green mana wrapped around her glove as she jumped into the air and brought it down in a chopping motion, only to be backhanded out of the air by the Tyrant Phantom. She went flying and was just able to grab onto the side of the bridge as she fell over the edge.

Symbol looked down and gulped. “That was close,” muttered the Kamen Rider as she pulled herself back up. Only to see the Tyrant Phantom running at her. Symbol slammed her hand down on the left Shift Lever four times in quick succession. [MAGICAL TOUCH GO!] The Tyrant Phantom set its fists on fire as Symbol scanned the Giga Ring. [VERY NICE!] She pulled back both of her gloves as they were covered in green mana. [GIGA! S RANK SPELL!] Symbol jumped into the air as the magical energy around her gloves raged. [THE BEST!] Before landing in a crouch as the energy surged into a pair of vertical blades that raced towards the Phantom. “Giga Smash!” shouted Symbol as the blades made contact. The Tyrant Phantom was damaged by its momentum being halted before it started to push the blades back. But its vision was blocked and it was not prepared for Symbol to cut off the beams. The Phantom stumbled.

Right over the edge of the bridge.

“Not so funny when it happens to you, is it?” shouted Symbol as the Tyrant Phantom tumbled into the endless drop and exploded.

While his sister had been fighting. Dante had been in a similar fight.

He was facing off against four Death Knight Phantom’s. He punched the Angel Ring into his Driver’s left slot. [KICK STRIKE GO!] The light blue wind wrapped around Dante’s body as he jumped into the air. A disk of the light blue wind formed behind him as he kicked it, sending himself shooting over the four Death Knight Phantom’s as they tried to slash at him with no luck.

Dante landed on the ground and with the distance, he had gained he swapped the Angel Ring for the Arbiter Ring and punched it into his Driver’s left slot. [SET!] Dante turned his wrist back, then forwards making his Driver’s gate close and open. [OPEN!] The arbiter magical circle appeared from his Driver. This circle was identical to the eyrx circle except for the image of Eryx and the image of Arbiter had been swapped. The magic circle moved back through Dante. [A-R-B-I-T-E-R!] This transformed him into the Arbiter Style.

His helmet was coloured red with a pair of bright red circle shaped visors for eyes and a blood red mouth guard. His bodysuit was now coloured blood red with bright red gloves and boots. Dante’s chestplate was blood red with flaming red boulders etched into the left side of it. While his left shoulder pauldron was coloured flame red and in the shape of a battle axe’s blade. Dante’s forearm, shins and knees were in the shape of armour and coloured flame red. Finally, the Arbiter Axe was held tightly in his gloves.

Dante saw that Death Knight Phantom’s were approaching and punched the Arbiter Ring into the bottom of the Arbiter Axe’s handle. [ONE!] A pale red holographic dice appeared above the Arbiter Axe’s blade and stopped on a single blood red circle. [AXE STRIKE!] Dante spun the Arbiter Axe as red mana gathered around axe’s head, as Dante swung the weapon down. This unleashed an energy construct of a spinning axe head that slammed into one of the Death Knight Phantom’s shield making it crack and then split in half before shattering into pieces.

Dante blocked a slash from the second Death Knight Phantom with the shaft of the Arbiter Axe before punching the Arbiter Ring into his Driver’s left slot. [GO! KICK STRIKE!] Dante spun around as red mana gathered around his right boot. “Flush!” shouted Dante as the energy was fired off in a spinning axe head construct. It smashed into the Death Knight Phantom in front of him and cut through it before cutting through the first Death Knight Phantom and making both of them explode.

Dante blocked a slash from the third Death Knight Phantom with his left shoulder guard, before blocking an attack from the fourth Death Knight Phantom with the Arbiter Axe. Unlucky for him, this left him open to a slash from the final Death Knight Phantom that sent him skidding backwards. Dante stopped his momentum and glared before spinning the Arbiter Axe as he pressed down on its trigger. [AXE STRIKE!] Dante slashed forwards with the Arbiter Axe, unleashing a spinning crescent of red light that spun forwards. One of the Death Knight Phantom’s blocked with its shield only for the construct to expand, cutting through all three of the Death Knight Phantoms and causing a powerful explosion ripple through the area. 

At that moment Dante heard the familiar sound of a chainsaw. He looked around and saw a Ravager Phantom saw its way through one of the bridge’s pillars in a shower of angry red sparks. “I hate these things!” he muttered as he switched the Arbiter Ring for the Eryx Ring and punched it into his Driver’s left slot. [SET!] Dante turned his wrist back to make his Driver’s gate close. ‘The Arbiter Axe wasn’t strong enough to overpower this thing, but the Eryx Gauntlets might be!’ he thought had he turned his wrist forwards to make his Driver’s gate open. [OPEN!] The eryx magic circle appeared and moved back through Dante. [E-R-Y-X!] Both Kamen Rider and Phantom charged at each other as Dante punched the Eryx Ring into the slot on the left Eryx Gauntlet. [ONE!] The holographic diced appeared above the gauntlet and spun before stopping on a single blood-red dot. [FIST STRIKE!] Dante set both of the Eryx Gauntlets on fire and used the right one to force the chainsaw to the side before punching the Ravager Phantom three times with the left Eryx Gauntlet making sparks explode from each hit.

Suddenly, the Ravager Phantom let loose a burst of flame as Dante was about to punch it again before swiping its chainsaw to the side and cutting into Dante’s side in a shower of sparks. Dante gritted for the pain as he staggered back with sparks coming from his side. “Bastard” shouted Dante as he punched the Eryx Ring into his Driver’s left slot. [GO! KICK STRIKE!] Red light built up around his right boot as Dante ran forwards and slid under a slash. At the last second, the light formed into a construct of an Eryx Gauntlet as he kicked the Phantom three times, sending it flying into the air. Sparks came from its body before it was consumed by an explosion.

Dante suddenly had to put both of the Eryx Gauntlets up into a guard position as a Tyrant Phantom appeared and slammed into him, forcing the Kamen Rider to slid backwards as it pressed against him. For a second Dante could have sworn he saw his sister go flying past but quickly shook it off and focused back on his own fight. The Tyrant Phantom stopped pushing against Dante and spun around, backhanding him away. Dante flew through the air and was able to stop himself before looking up and seeing the Tyrant Phantom charging at him. He punched the Eryx Ring into the back of the right Eryx Gauntlet. [FOUR!] The holographic dice appeared over it and started spinning before quickly stopping on a four. [FIST STRIKE!] Dante pulled back the left Eryx Gauntlet and slammed it into the ground, creating a barrier of red magical mana that stopped the Tyrant Phantom’s momentum and made it stagger backwards. 

But before Dante was able to take advantage of that the Tyrant Phantom jumped into the air, beginning its belly flop or body slam attack! “That’s not going to work!” Dante pressed the Eryx Ring into the slot on the right Eryx Gauntlet. [THREE!] This time the dice only spun for a second before stopping on three blood red dots. [FIST STRIKE!] Dante pulled back the right Eryx Gauntlet as they were both covered in flame red flames before the flames from the right gauntlet were pulled into the left Eryx Gauntlet. Dante unleashed an uppercut as he jumped into the air, sending the Tyrant Phantom flying back into the air with ease.

Dante switched the Eryx Ring for the Angel Ring and punched it into his Driver’s left slot. [SET!] He turned his wrist back, making his Driver’s gate close before turning it forwards to make his Driver’s gate open. [OPEN!] The angel magic circle appeared from Dante’s Driver and moved back through him. [O-S-I-R-I-S!] Dante pulled the Osiris Scythe off his back plate and turned its handle. [HOOK MODE!] The polearm transformed into the Angel Lift and he hooked it onto the Tyrant Phantom while it was in the air, pulling him up so that he was level with the Phantom. Dante punched the Angel Ring into the left slot of his Driver. [KICK STRIKE GO!] The light blue wind wrapped around him and Dante kicked the air below him, propelling himself over the Tyrant Phantom so that he was several metres high above Phantom.

Once that was done Dante switched the Angel Ring for the Eryx Ring and punched it into his Driver’s left slot. [SET!] Dante turned his wrist back to make his Driver’s gate close before angling himself so that he was over the Phantom and turned his wrist forwards. [OPEN!] The eryx magic circle appeared from Dante’s Driver and he fell through it. [E-R-Y-X!] As he transformed into the Eryx Style Dante punched the Eryx Ring into the back of his right Eryx Gauntlet. [FIVE!] The right Eryx Gauntlet displayed a flame red dice that spun until it stopped on five blood red dots. [FIST STRIKE!] Dante the pulled the trigger inside the left Eryx Gauntlet. [FIST STRIKE!] Red mana covered his body as Dante went shooting down before it concentrated around his right boot. “Stomp!” roared Dante as he slammed his boot into the back of the Tyrant Phantom just as it hit the ground making the Phantom go up in a giant explosion.

“That fight was a bit harder,” admitted Symbol as Dante punched down the piece of metal that was blocking there way.

They found themselves in front of a prison that had CENTRAL PENITENTIARY carved into the metal above the gates. Spotlights scanned the ground around it and iron metal wire was wrapped around the top of the walls.

“Huh,” commented Dante in something like awe. “So even the Slip Dimension has a slammer.”

“That is what Vergil told us,” replied Symbol.

“Never thought I’d be breaking into jail,” sated Dante. 

Then the whole thing flipped upside down.

“That was weird,” muttered Symbol as she and Dante got their balance back.

“You got that right,” replied Dante as he switched the Eryx Ring for the Angel Ring and punched it into his Driver’s left slot. [SET!] He turned his wrist back and then forwards making his Driver’s gate close before it snapped back open. [OPEN!] The angel magic circle appeared in front of Dante and moved back through him. [O-S-I-R-I-S!] He transformed into the Angel Style and pulled the Osiris Scythe off his back before turning its handle. [HOOK MODE!] It transformed into the Angel Lift as Dante used it to pull himself and Symbol to a floating rock.

Symbol switched the Giga Ring for the Active Ring and pressed the left Shift Lever. [MAGICAL TOUCH HENSHIN!] Then she scanned her left glove across the Wizard Driver’s Hand Author. [ACTIVE PLEASE!] The active magic circle appeared to her left and moved through her. [LET’S GO!] Symbol added the Ice and Bind Rings to her right glove before pressing the right Shift Lever once. [MAGIC TOUCHIE HENSHIN!] Symbol scanned her right glove as she rolled to the right. [ICE BIND PLEASE!] Through the ice and bind magic circles before hitting the right Shift Lever again. [MAGIC TOUCHIE GO!] Symbol held up Grapple Gauntlet as she scanned her right glove. [BIND MAGIC PLEASE!] A chain made of orange energy shot from it and pulled a rock close enough for them to jump to before Symbol used another chain to pull a ledge from a wall.

The two of them jumped to it before Dante grabbed Symbol and used the Angel Lift to reach a light before Symbol used another chain to pull a ledge from the side of an upside-down building which they landed on. After which the two of them jumped to another ledge, this one was made of wood, reaching the prison wall. 

“Let’s give it a crack!” stated Dante as he switched the Angel Ring for the Eryx Ring and punched it into his Driver’s left slot. [SET!] He turned his wrist back, then forwards to make his Driver’s gate close and open. [OPEN!] The eryx magic circle appeared in front of Dante and he ran through it. [E-R-Y-X!] As the Eryx Gauntlets appeared on his arm he pulled the right one back and punched straight through the prison’s wall.

“You cracked something alright,” stated Symbol as she walked through the massive hole her brother had made and looked around.

The prison had a giant lighthouse in the centre of it and over a dozen spotlights around the place with screens everywhere the displayed pictures of Bob Barbas. “You have committed crimes against the holy order of Phantoms,” he droned as the words ‘OBEY YOUR MASTERS’ scrolling across the screens. “Wiseman had allowed you to live so that you may serve him. Rejoice in this gift of life,” stuck to the walls and floors were shadows of people who were screaming in pain while those that had some freedom with writhing in agony.

“This guy really likes to hear himself talk,” muttered Dante.

Symbol was looking at the people. “Let’s go,” she hissed out.

“Are you ok sis?” asked Dante in concern.

“You might not like humanity Dante,” spoke Symbol. “But I still want to protect them. The Slip Dimension is powered by the Phantom that created it. So the sooner we kill Bob, in the most brutal fashion we can, the sooner those people can find peace on the other side,” she explained.

[MAGIC TOUCHIE HENSHIN!] [BOOST DEFEND PLEASE!] Symbol transformed into the Active Boost Defend Style. [MAGIC TOUCHIE GO!] [BOOST MAGIC PLEASE!] Purple energy ran from the Wizard Driver into the Boost Grieves as she jumped to a glowing blue ring in the air.

[MAGICAL TOUCH HENSHIN!] [SWIFT PLEASE!] [DASH AWAY!] Once she reached it Symbol transformed into the Swift Style. [MAGIC TOUCHIE HENSHIN!] [WING SNIPER PLEASE!] Then straight into the Swift Wing Sniper Style. She gave the Flight Wings a massive flap and was sent shooting forwards onto a ledge that was sticking out the side of a wall.

Suddenly, a section of the wall moved out, blocking the way. “We’ll have to find another way around,” growled Symbol at the delay.

“Incoming!” suddenly, Dante in his Angel Style crashed into Symbol from behind. “Sorry, I wasn’t expecting to be sent flying like that!” defended Dante as he got off his sister.

[MAGICAL TOUCH HENSHIN!] [ACTIVE PLEASE!] [LET’S GO!] Symbol groaned as she transformed into the Active Style. [MAGIC TOUCHIE HENSHIN!] [BOOST DEFEND PLEASE!] Straight into the Active Boost Defend Style. [MAGIC TOUCHIE GO!] [BOOST MAGIC PLEASE!] She jumped across the gap, through an archway and into a glowing blue ring.

[MAGICAL TOUCH HENSHIN!] [SWIFT PLEASE!] [DASH AWAY!] As the boost ring started to affect her Symbol transformed into the Swift Style. [MAGIC TOUCHIE HENSHIN!] [WING SNIPER PLEASE!] Before changing straight into the Swift Wing Sniper Style and shooting forwards onto a ledge that was coming from the side of a building.

[MAGICAL TOUCH HENSHIN!] [ACTIVE PLEASE!] [LET’S GO!] Symbol saw another ledge come from the corner of a building as that building cracked. [MAGIC TOUCHIE HENSHIN!] [BOOST DEFEND PLEASE!] She changed into the Active Boost Style. [MAGIC TOUCHIE GO!] [BOOST MAGIC PLEASE!] Then jumped to the building as she heard Dante land behind her.

The two Kamen Rider’s jumped to a piece of grate that was floating, then to the grated floor, it had clearly come from before jumping to the top of another building.

“Ok, there's the tower,” stated Dante.

“We’re back on track!” muttered Symbol.

Dante jumped into the air and used the Angel Lift to reach a glowing blue ring in the air. Just before he reached it Dante cancelled the Lift and punched the Angel Ring into his Driver’s left slot. [KICK STRIKE GO!] He was covered in a cloak of the light blue wind as he kicked the air behind himself. Dante was sent shooting forwards into the ring and then accelerated forwards and landed boots first on a metal catwalk.

In front of him was a black rat cat hedgehog Phantom hybrid with glowing red eyes.

“Whatever you are, get the hell out of here!” shouted Dante as he heard Symbol land behind him.

The Phantom did just that.

They ran into a room and the door slammed shut behind them. The room was some kind of torture chamber with the shades of innocent people on the floors, walls and ceiling all of them were screaming in agony as unlike Dante and Symbol, they did not have any form of protection in the Slip Dimension.

“Poor bastards,” muttered Dante as the looked around.

“I don’t like this place very much,” muttered Symbol. “Let’s get to Bob and get out of here!” she ordered.

“On that, we can agree,” stated Dante.

It was that that very moment the Phantom swarm began to arrive in the room to fight the Kamen Riders.

“I’ll take the Hell Knight Phantom and you deal with the Blade Phantoms. Ok?” asked Symbol.

“Sure,” replied Dante as he ran towards the Blade Phantoms. He punched the Angel Ring into the back of the Osiris Scythe’s blade. [ONE!] Which opened to reveal a single light blue dot as Dante pulled the scythe weapon back. [ANGEL SCYTHE STRIKE!] Dante spun around, unleashing a blast of light blue wind in a circle that sent all three of the Blade Phantom's staggering backwards with sparks coming from their bodies thanks to the sharp wind.

Dante then punched the Angel Ring into his Driver’s left slot. [KICK STRIKE GO!] Dante jumped into the air as the light blue wind wrapped around his right boot. “Karma!” shouted Dante as unleashed a spinning kick that made the first Blade Phantom spark before exploding.

Dante jumped back as another Blade Phantom got back up and slashed at him before switching the Angel Ring for the Eryx Ring and punching it into his Driver’s left slot. [SET!] He turned his wrist back, then forwards to make his Driver’s gate close and open before jumping over the Blade Phantom. [OPEN!] Mid-jump the eryx magical circle appeared from Dante’s Driver and moved back through him. [E-R-Y-X!] Transforming Dante into the Eryx Style. Dante spun around and punched forwards with the right Eryx Gauntlet, clashing against the Blade Phantom’s sword. The sword was deflected as Dante punched the Eryx Ring into his right gauntlet. [ONE!] The holographic dice appeared above the Gauntlet and spun, stopping on a one as red fire covered both of the Eryx Gauntlet. [FIST STRIKE!] Dante ran forwards and punched the Phantom three times, cracks spread out from each impact point as it exploded.

Suddenly Dante was slashed across the back by the last Blade Phantom, sparks flew from the impact as he rolled with the blow and switched the Eryx Ring for the Arbiter Ring. He came up to his knees and punched the Arbiter Ring into his Driver’s left slot. [SET!] Dante flicked his wrist back to make his Driver’s gate close before flipping it forwards opening his Driver’s gate again. [OPEN!] The eryx magic circle appeared from Dante’s Driver and moved back through him. [A-R-B-I-T-E-R!] The second slash hit Dante but this time he felt nothing and no sparks were drawn thanks to the Arbiter Style having thicker armour than the Eryx Style. Dante quickly punched the Arbiter Ring into the base of the Arbiter Axe’s grip. [FOUR!] The holographic dice materialized and landed on a four. [AXE STRIKE!] Three rings of red light were pulled into the Arbiter Axe’s head. Dante ran forwards and slammed the Arbiter Axe down. The Blade Phantom held up its sword to block only for the Arbiter Axe to unleash nine pulses of energy on contact that ripped through both the sword and the Blade Phantom making sparks explode from its body before the Phantom itself exploded.

Symbol jumped back as the Hell Knight Phantom set the area on fire. She switched the Active Ring for the Giga Ring and hit the left Shift Lever. [MAGICAL TOUCH HENSHIN!] Then she swiped the Giga Ring across the Wizard Driver’s Hand Author. [GIGA PLEASE!] The giga magic circle appeared under her boots and rose up through Symbol, transforming her into the Giga Style. [BREAK THROUGH!] Symbol drew the Giga Axe and charged at the Hell Knight Phantom. The two of them locked blades but the Phantom was able to over power Symbol and slash her across the chest plate twice before shield bashing her.

“ARGH!” Symbol slid back as sparks came from her chest plate and hit the left Shift Lever once. [MAGICAL TOUCH SPELL!] Before running forwards as she scanned the Giga Ring across the Wizard Driver’s Hand Author. [GIGA C RANK SPELL!] Green magical energy hummed around Symbol’s fist as Symbol entered and attack stance. She slammed her fist down on the left Shift Lever four more times. [MAGICAL TOUCH GO! VERY NICE!] Symbol scanned the Giga Ring again. [GIGA! S RANK SPELL! THE BEST!] Symbol sprint forwards as her left fist was covered in a wildfire of mana. She slammed her fist into the Hell Knight Phantom’s shield as the magical energy raged. For a second it looked like the shield would be able to stop the attack, but then Symbol took a step forwards and thrust her fist forwards making the shield crack down the middle before breaking in half.

The Hell Knight Phantom did not let the loss of its shield stop it as it slashed Symbol across the chest plate again with its sword making sparks explode. “You’ll pay for that!” with a roar Symbol added the Punch and Drill Rings to her right hand as she pressed the right Shift Lever. [MAGIC TOUCHIE HENSHIN!] Then she scanned her right glove. [PUNCH DRILL PLEASE!] The two magic circles appeared under her boots and rose up through Symbol as she used the Punch Drillers to block a slash and punch the Hell Knight Phantom in the face. Symbol hit the right Shift Lever again. [MAGIC TOUCHIC GO!] She scanned her right glove and crouched as her left Punch Driller was covered in red fire. [PUNCH MAGIC PLEASE!] Symbol jumped into the air and the Hell Knight Phantom looked up just in time for her to punch down, hitting it in the head. 

As the 	Hell Knight Phantom had sparks coming from its head Symbol hit the right Shift Lever four times. [MAGIC TOUCHIC GO! VERY NICE!] Then she scanned her right glove across the Wizard Driver’s Hand Author even as she punched the ground. [PUNCH DRILL MAGIC! THE BEST!] Out of which exploded a vertical blade of magma. “Magma Smash!” shouted Symbol as the blade surged forwards. The Hell Knight Phantom tried to stop it with its sword but was quickly overpowered and the blade washed over it making a powerful explosion ripped through the area.

Then three more Blade Phantoms and a Frost Knight Phantom burst out of the ground.

“I’ll take the Frost Knight Phantom and you take the Blade Phantom’s?” suggested Dante.

“Rolls reversed!” shouted Symbol as they started fighting once more.

Dante ran towards the Frost Knight Phantom with the Osiris Scythe ready. He dodged to the side as the Phantom fired a wave of ice at him before jumping over a second wave and punching the Angel Ring into the back of the Osiris Scythe’s blade. [THREE!] Which opened to reveal three light blue dots that pulsed with soft blue light. [ANGEL SCYTHE STRIKE!] Dante jumped into the air and used the Osiris Scythe as a hook to pull the Phantom into the air.

While the Phantom was in the air and helpless Dante punched the Angel Ring into the back of the Osiris Scythe once more. [ONE!] The three light blue dots shimmered and changed into a single light blue dot as Dante spun around. [ANGEL SCYTHE STRIKE!] Dante spun around with the Osiris Scythe cutting away at the Frost Knight Phantom making sparks fly from its body.

They both landed back on the ground and before Dante could recover the Frost Knight Phantom was back on its feet and slashed at him several times making frost spread over his body before it transformed into ice and froze him. “Shit!” shouted Dante right before he was frozen. The Frost Knight Phantom charged up its blade and gave Dante a single strong slash that broke him out of the ice and sent him tumbling backwards with sparks coming from his armour.

“Take this!” Dante punched the Angel Ring into the back of the Osiris Scythe again. [FIVE!] The single light blue circle transformed into five light blue dots. [ANGEL SCYTHE STRIKE!] Dante ran forwards and spun the Osiris Scythe three times. The Frost Knight Phantom blocked each of the attacks but Dante ended his combo on a strong downwards slash that made the Phantom stagger, breaking its guard. 

Then Dante pressed down on the Osiris Scythe’s trigger. [ANGEL SCYTHE STRIKE!] Light blue mana surged up the Osiris Scythe’s handle and into the blade, forming into the construct of a wing. “Cleaver!” Dante slashed with the Osiris Scythe, sending the wing’s feather shooting off. They pounded into the Frost Knight Phantom drawing sparks from it before it exploded.

Symbol jumped back from a Blade Phantom and switched the Giga Ring for the Burst Ring then hit the left Shift Lever. [MAGICAL TOUCH HENSHIN!] Then she rolled to the side as she scanned the Burst Ring across the Wizard Driver’s Hand Author. [BURST PLEASE!] The burst magic circle appeared behind her and moved through Symbol, knocking another Blade Phantom back [CAST THE SPELL!] Symbol transformed into the Burst Style before hitting the left Shift Lever once. [MAGICAL TOUCH GO!] Symbol held up her right glove as she scanned her left glove across the Wizard Driver’s Hand Author. [BURST! C RANK SPELL!] Three sparks appeared in the air before bursting into four balls of red hot flame that shot forwards and circled one of the Blade Phantom’s before smashing into it and making the Phantom explode.

Symbol added the Dust and Mirror Rings to her right glove and hit the right Shift Lever. [MAGIC TOUCHIE HENSHIN!] She dodged a slash from the second Blade Phantom and scanned her right glove across the Wizard Driver’s Hand Author. [DUST MIRROR PLEASE!] The two magic circle appeared behind her and bashed the Blade Phantom back as they moved through Symbol. Who then pressed the right Shift Lever one more time. [MAGIC TOUCHIE GO!] Then she jumped over a slash from the third Blade Phantom as she scanned her right glove. [DUST MAGIC PLEASE!] A blast of brown dust came from her right glove and it smashed into the third Lesser Blade Phantom. Sparks flew from its body as the dust storm attacked it until it exploded.

Symbol jumped away from the second Blade Phantom as it fired a slash at her before adding the Steam and Radiation Rings to her right glove and hitting the right Shift Lever. [MAGIC TOUCHIE HENSHIN!] Then she scanned her right glove as the Blade Phantom came charging at her. [STEAM RADIATION PLEASE!] The two magic circles appeared behind Symbol and moved through her, stopping the slash from the Blade Phantom. Symbol punched it in the gut, sending it staggering back as slammed her right glove down on the right Shift Lever twice more. [MAGIC TOUCHIE GO!] Then Symbol ducked under another slash as she scanned the Radiation Ring across the Wizard Driver’s Hand Author. [RADIATION MAGIC PLEASE!] The Radiation Ring shone as a beam of dark green energy shot from it and hit the Blade Phantom sending it staggering backwards with sparks coming from its body before it exploded

Just when the two Kamen Riders thought it was over a Hell Knight Phantom and a Frost Knight Phantom both burst out of the ground.

“We take them together!” ordered Symbol.

“Agreed!” replied Dante as they charged. He punched the Angel Ring into his Driver’s left slot. [KICK STRIKE GO!] Dante was covered in the light blue wind as he jumped forwards into a flying kick, only to clash against a wave of ice that he had to use his wind cloak to cancel out.

Symbol punched the right Shift Lever three times. [MAGIC TOUCHIE GO!] Then scanned the Steam and Radiation Rings across the Wizard Driver’s Hand Author. [STEAM RADIATION MAGIC PLEASE!] She fired a blast of steam and radiation from her left glove that mixed into a steam and radiation helix. It roared into the Hell Knight Phantom’s shield and made cracks spread through it. 

Dante saw this and jumped away from the Frost Knight Phantom he switched the Angel Ring for the Eryx Ring before punching it into his Driver’s left slot. [SET!] He turned his wrist back and forwards, making his Driver’s gate close and open. [OPEN!] Dante ran through the eryx magic circle transforming into the Eryx Style. [E-R-Y-X!] Dante pulled back one of the Eryx Gauntlets and punched the Hell Knight Phantom’s shield sending it skidding backwards. He punched the Eryx Ring into the right Eryx Gauntlet. [SIX!] The dice appeared and stopped on a six as the Phantom held up its shield. [FIST STRIKE!] Red energy gathered around the right Eryx Gauntlet as Dante punched forwards making the shield shatter as his fist made contact.

Symbol switched the Burst Ring for the Swift Ring and pressed the left Shift Lever. [MAGICAL TOUCH HENSHIN!] Then she scanned the Swift Ring across the Wizard Driver’s Hand Author. [SWIFT PLEASE!] The swift magic circle appeared above her and fell through her. [DASH AWAY!] Symbol pulled out the Swift Blaster and turned it into the Swift Dagger as she hit the left Shift Lever twice. [MAGICAL TOUCH GO!] Symbol sprinted forwards as she scanned the Swift Ring again. [SWIFT! B RANK SPELL!] Her body was covered in yellow mana and Swift Style’s already impressive speed went up as she was suddenly slashing the Frost Knight Phantom from all sides at nearly the same time making sparks explode from its body. 

Dante switched the Eryx Ring for the Arbiter Ring and punched it into his Driver’s left slot. [SET!] He turned his wrist back, making his Driver’s gate close before turning it forwards, making his Driver’s gate spring back open. [OPEN!] The arbiter magic circle appeared in front of him and moved back through Dante. [A-R-B-I-T-E-R!] Transforming him into the Arbiter Style as he punched the Arbiter Ring into the slot at the base of the Arbiter Axe’s handle. [ONE!] A holographic dice wrapped into existence above the Arbiter Axe and stopped on a one. [AXE STRIKE!] Dante spun the Arbiter Axe twice before swinging it down was energy gathered around its blade. The energy was fired off and formed into an axe head construct that smashed into the Hell Knight Phantom, making sparks explode from the impact and stopping it from setting the floor on fire!

Symbol jumped into the air as she slid the Wing and Sniper Rings onto her right index and ring fingers before hitting the right Shift Lever. [MAGIC TOUCHIE HENSHIN!] Then she scanned her right glove across the Wizard Driver’s Hand Author. [WING SNIPER PLEASE!] The two magic circles appeared over her helmet and fell through Symbol just as she started to lose her momentum. Symbol used the Fight Wings to stay in the air as she slammed her right glove on the right Shift Lever. [MAGIC TOUCHIE GO!] Before scanning her right glove. [WING MAGIC PLEASE!] Silver light covered the Flight Wings as Symbol soared down and cut the Frost Knight Phantom across the waist with her left wing before banking around and doing the same with her right wing.

Dante jumped into the air as he punched the Arbiter Ring into the slot at the base of the Arbiter Axe. [SIX!] The holographic dice flashed in and spun to a six. [AXE STRIKE!] Dante was covered in red energy and came down, slamming the Arbiter Axe down into the Death Knight Phantom making sparks erupt from the glowing red line he had cut into the Phantom.

Dante pulled back the Arbiter Axe as he tanked a slash and punched the Arbiter Ring into the base of its handle. [THREE!] The mana dice quickly switched sides so that it displayed three blood red dots. [AXE STRIKE!] Dante held the Arbiter Axe in both gloves like a baseball bat and swung it around like one, hitting the Hell Knight Phantom and sending it flying in an explosion of sparks.

Symbol landed back on the ground and took a solid stance as she hit the right Shift Lever twice. [MAGIC TOUCHIE GO!] Before swiping her right glove across the Wizard Driver’s Hand Author. [SNIPER MAGIC PLEASE!] Blue mana ran through the Sniper Shooter and collected in the form of an orb at the front of the sniper rifle. Symbol pulled the trigger and the orb was shot off in the form of a bullet with a feather construct around it that pierced through the Frost Knight Phantom and made sparks bleed from both the entrance and exit points.

[MAGIC TOUCHIE GO! VERY NICE!] Blue mana was pulled from the air, into the Sniper Shooter as Symbol took aim. [WING SNIPER MAGIC! THE BEST!] Symbol pulled the trigger and a column-sized beam was fired, it ploughed into the Frost Knight Phantom and sent it flying into the Hell Knight Phantom that Dante had just sent flying.

“Finale!” ordered Symbol as she hit the left Shift Lever four times. [MAGICAL TOUCH GO! VERY NICE!] Then she scanned the Swift Ring across the Wizard Driver’s Hand Author. [SWIFT! S RANK SPELL! THE BEST!] Symbol got into a kicking stance as silver, blue and yellow magical energy gathered around her boots.

“You bet!” shouted Dante as he punched the Arbiter Ring into his Driver’s left slot. [GO! KICK STRIKE!] Red energy started to build up around his right boot.

Both of them jumping into the air flipped once and came down with a flying kick. Both of Symbol’s soles were covered in yellow, silver and blue magical energy while the red energy around Dante’s right boot turned into an axe construct. The two attacks hit the Phantoms and the Kamen Rider’s appeared behind them as both of the Phantoms fell over and exploded.

[MAGICAL TOUCH HENSHIN!] [ACTIVE PLEASE!] [LET’S GO!] “That’s that done,” stated Symbol as she transformed into the Active Style. [MAGIC TOUCHIE HENSHIN!] [BOOST DEFEND PLEASE!] Then she transformed straight into the Active Boost Defend Style. [MAGIC TOUCHIE GO!] [BOOST MAGIC PLEASE!] Before grabbing Dante and jumping through an archway that lead out of the room they were in and onto another metal grated floor. 

“Go on! Get lost!” shouted Dante at the Phantom they had been following.

“I’m calling that a Rage Spawn,” stated Symbol. “MOVE!” she tackled Dante to the side as a much bigger and white version of the Phantom landed where they had just been standing. “And that is a Rage Phantom!” snarled Symbol.

She hit the right Shift Lever once. [MAGIC TOUCHIE GO!] Then scanned the Boost Ring across the Wizard Driver’s Hand Author. [BOOST MAGIC PLEASE!] Symbol jumped forwards and turned in the air aiming for a spinning side kick at the Rage Phantom’s face. But it jumped to the side, leaving her to impact the ground. It set both of its claws on fire and slashed her across the back plate twice making sparks explode from said piece of armour.

“ARGH!” shouted Symbol as she stumbled. Recovering she pulled open the Active Blade’s Hand Author. [COME ON A SLASH SHAKE HANDS!] Before scanning the Active Ring across it. [ACTIVE! SLASH STRIKE!] Red lightning covered the Active Blade. “Red Slash!” Symbol spun around and fired a crescent of red light from the Active Blade, which the Rage Phantom jumped over.

This was what Symbol had wanted to happen. She slammed down on the right Shift Lever four time. [MAGIC TOUCHIE GO! VERY NICE!] Then Symbol scanned her right glove across her belt. [BOOST DEFEND MAGIC! THE BEST!] Purple energy covered her boots as Symbol spun around. “Air Step!” she jumped into the air and kicked the Ravager Phantom in the chest with both of her energized boots. This unleashed a pair of purple shockwaves that sent the Rage Phantom flying backwards with sparks coming from the impact point.

The Phantom landed on the ground and slid backwards several paces. It snarled at Symbol but then clutched at the spot she had hit.

Symbol saw this and switched the Active Ring with the Swift Ring before pressing the left Shift Lever. [MAGICAL TOUCH HENSHIN!] She scanned her left glove across her Driver. [SWIFT PLEASE!] The swift magic circle appeared and fell through Symbol. [DASH AWAY!] She transformed into the Swift Style and ran at the Rage Phantom as she hit the left Shift Lever twice more. [MAGICAL TOUCH GO!] Symbol scanned her left glove across the Wizard Driver’s Hand Author. [SWIFT! B RANK SPELL!] She was covered in yellow magical energy as she ran forwards and circled the Rage Phantom while shooting it with the Swift Blast making sparks come from each impact.

Seeing that she was not doing a lot of damage and just making the Rage Phantom mad, Symbol hit the left Shift Lever three times. [MAGICAL TOUCH GO!] Then she scanned the Swift Ring. [SWIFT! A RANK SPELL!] Symbol pulled the Swift Blaster’s trigger, firing a single beam of yellow mana that was in the shape of an inverted triangle. It flew through the air and smashed into the Rage Phantom’s side, making sparks flew as the Phantom was sent flying before smashing into a wall.

Before Symbol was able to press the advantage, the Rage Phantom jumped into the air and curled into a ball before growling several spikes from its back and rolling at Symbol. She had no time to react as that attack slammed into her chest plate and made sparks fly. Symbol was sent flying back into a wall. A complete reverse of the situation. “I thought you were a Phantom cat, not a hedgehog!” shouted Symbol in pain as she got back to her boots, using the wall to pull herself up.

Then she saw the Ravager Phantom curl into a ball once more and charge at her. Symbol changed the Swift Ring for the Giga Ring and pressed the left Shift Lever. [MAGICAL TOUCH HENSHIN!] Before scanning the Giga Ring across the Wizard Driver’s Hand Author. [GIGA PLEASE!] The giga magic circle unfolded under Symbol’s boots and rose up through her. [BREAK THROUGH!] Just before the Rage Phantom could reach her Symbol hit the left Shift Lever three times. [MAGICAL TOUCH SPELL!] Symbol scanned her left glove across her belt as she crossed her arms. [GIGA A RANK SPELL!] The Rage Phantom smashed into Symbol’s forearm guards making sparks fly.

Symbol was able to reach down and press the left Shift Lever four times. [MAGICAL TOUCH GO! VERY NICE!] Symbol scanned her left glove. [GIGA! S RANK SPELL! THE BEST!] The green mana around her body started to build up. “Giga Embodiment!” shouted Symbol as the mana surged outwards, sending the Rage Phantom flying back before it exploded.

Dante had not been able to help his sister in her fight as a second Rage had dropped from the ceiling, cutting him off as he had been moving to help her. “So you lot travel in pairs?” Dante asked. His reply was a loud snarl and having to avoid a claw to the face plate. “I’ll take that as a yes!” [FOUR!] Red energy gathered in the Arbiter Axe’s blade. [AXE STRIKE!] Dante swung it down, missing the Rage Phantom as it dodged to the left. But some sparks still came from its body as the axe unleashed three pulses of red energy that smashed into the Rage Phantom, making it stagger in pain.

[FOUR!] [AXE STRIKE!] Dante brought the Arbiter Axe around for a second strike, but this time the Rage Phantom had learned from its prior mistake. It jumped into the air and slashed Dante with both of its flaming claws as it came down.

“ARGH!” Dante stumbled back with sparks coming from his armour because of the hit. [SET!] [OPEN!] [O-S-I-R-I-S!] He transformed into the Osiris Style and drew the Osiris Scythe before punching the Angel Ring into the back of its blade. [TWO!] The blade of the scythe opened to reveal two light blue dots. [ANGEL SCYTHE STRIKE!] Dante started to spin the Osiris Scythe like a vertical propeller, cutting into the Rage Phantom several times as it had not been quick enough to dodge. Dante reversed the direction of the Osiris Scythe and started slamming the Rage Phantom into the ground several times over with the polearm.

The Rage Phantom landed on the ground, got up and lunged at Dante with the intent to kill him.

Dante replied by switching the Angel Ring with the Nephilim Ring and punching it into his Driver’s left slot. [SET!] Two turns made Dante’s Driver’s gate close and open. [OPEN!] The nephilim magic circle appeared from Dante’s Driver and moved back through him. [N-E-P-H-I-L-I-M!] Dante pulled the Rebellion Blade off his back and used it to deflect a claw that was on fire, before using it to block the other claw. Dante quickly punched the Nephilim Ring into the slot at the bottom of the Rebellion Blade’s handle. [ONE!] The mouth sprang open to reveal a red and blue circle. [NEPHILIM SABER STRIKE!] Dante slashed upwards as the Rage Phantom lunged, the Rebellion Blade hit it in the chest and sent the Phantom shooting into the air at high speed with sparks coming from its body where the Rebellion Blade had hit.

Dante jumped into the air, going after the Rage Phantom as he punched the Nephilim Ring into the back of the Rebellion Blade’s handle. [TWO!] The mouth opened, revealing a pair of red and blue circles. [NEPHILIM SABER STRIKE!] Dante spun around, slashing the Rage Phantom five times before ending on an upwards slash that sent the Phantom shooting higher into the air. 

As the Phantom went shooting into the air, Dante landed back on the ground then pulled out Ebony and Ivory before shooting the Rage Phantom several times making sparks explode from its body as it was juggled in the air for several seconds. The Rage Phantom fell back to the ground as Dante jumped into the air and held down both of the Hand Cannon’s triggers. [EBONY AND IVORY STRIKE!] Dante spun so that he was upside down. “Rainstorm!” hitting the Rage Phantom with a storm of bullets.

Dante landed on the ground and the Rage Phantom lunged at him but Dante sidestepped its claws and jumped over the second slash kicking it in the backside as he did so. The Rage Phantom turned around and snarled at Dante in fury as it lunged at him again. Dante dodged once more only this time the Rage Phantom ejected the quills from its back and shot them at Dante. He was too surprised by the attack to dodge at that range and they pounded into his armour, drawing spark after spark. Dante slammed his finger down on the Rebellion Blade’s trigger. [NEPHILIM SABER STRIKE!] The eyes flashed as the blade was covered in both red and blue energy. “Drive!” shouted Dante as he flipped the sword into a reverse grip and swung it, sending a crescent of red energy out that slammed into the Rage Phantom, causing it to explode.

Then two more Rage Phantoms dropped from the ceiling.

“Just great,” muttered Dante. “Same plan as before?” he asked his sister.

“If your ok with it?” replied Symbol.

“Let’s do it!” confirmed Dante.

Symbol ran towards one of the Rage Phantom’s as she pressed the left Shift Lever once. [MAGICAL TOUCH SPELL!] Then scanned the Giga Ring as the Rage Phantom lunged at her. [GIGA C RANK SPELL!] Green mana shone around Symbol’s right fist as she pulled it back and then shot it forwards towards the Rage Phantom’s head. Only for the creature to dodged.

It got around behind Symbol as then slashed in her back plate making sparks fly. “ARGH!” shouted Symbol in pain as she hit the left Shift Lever twice. [MAGICAL TOUCH SPELL!] Then she scanned the Giga Ring across the Wizard Driver’s Hand Author as she spun around in a chopping motion. [GIGA B RANK SPELL!] The Rage Phantom ducked under the chop but did not think Symbol was going to use the momentum to continue her spin and throw a chop with her other glove that hit the Rage Phantom. It was sent flying into a wall with sparks coming from its body. 

The Phantom jumped back up and fired its quills at Symbol. She blocked them with her arms only for the Rage Phantom to run around behind her and claw at her back plate several times. “ARGH! GET OFF ME!” shouted Symbol as she shook the Phantom off. She swapped the Giga Ring for the Swift Ring and hit the left Shift Lever. [MAGICAL TOUCH HENSHIN!] Then she scanned the Swift Ring. [SWIFT PLEASE!] The swift magic circle appeared over her helmet and fell through her. [DASH AWAY!] Now that she was in the Swift Style, Symbol drew the Swift Dagger and charged at the Rage Phantom, she blocked on claw slash then punched it in the face to stop the Phantom from slashing her a second time. Symbol hit the left Shift Lever once. [MAGICAL TOUCH GO!] Then scanned the Swift Ring. [SWIFT! C RANK SPELL!] Symbol threw her right glove forwards and fired five orbs of mana that exploded when they hit the Rage Phantom making all five of the impact points spark. 

The Phantom gave a roar as it fired its quills at Symbol, aiming to do a lot of damage because of her thin armour. Symbol replied to the threat by hitting the left Shift Lever twice. [MAGICAL TOUCH GO!] Symbol swiping her left glove across the Wizard Driver’s Hand Author. [SWIFT! B RANK SPELL!] Symbol was covered in yellow mana as she vanished in a blur of speed, making the quills miss. In the next ten seconds, the Rage phantom was struck at all sides over fifty times. Symbol blurred back into existence in the place she had been standing before as she flicked her Swift Dagger. The delay on the damage was lifted and sparks exploded from the Rage Phantom’s body. 

Seeing that the Phantom was injured but not dead, Symbol added the Wing and Sniper Rings to her right glove and pressed the right Shift Lever. [MAGIC TOUCHIE HENSHIN!] Then scanned her right glove. [WING SNIPER PLEASE!] The sniper and wing magic circles appeared over her helmet and fell through her. Just as the Rage Phantom recovered and lunged at her, Symbol shot into the air with the Flight Wings and came swooping down to kick the Rage Phantom in the side. She ascended back into the air and slammed her glove down on the right Shift Lever three times. [MAGIC TOUCHIE GO!] Silver and blue energy gathered in the Flight Wings as Symbol scanned her right glove. [WING SNIPER MAGIC PLEASE!] She gave the Flight Wings and big flap and several feathers came of, hovering in the air before transforming into blue beams that struck the Rage Phantom like rain making sparks come from its body.

Symbol saw that the Rage Phantom was almost dead and hit the right Shift Lever four times. [MAGIC TOUCHIE GO! VERY NICE!] Then scanned her right glove across the Wizard Driver’s Hand Author. [WING SNIPER MAGIC! THE BEST!] Yellow, silver and blue energy gathered around her boots as Symbol did a loop and flew down with both of her boots pointed down. “Wing Dive Bomb!” both of her boots slammed into the Rage Phantom and Symbol appeared behind it as the Phantom exploded.

Dante blocked a slash from the Rage Phantom he was fighting with the Rebellion Blade and kicked the Phantom back before slashing it across the chest twice and stabbing it once. Each slash and stab drew sparks from the Rage Phantom’s fur like hide. Dante punched the Rebellion Ring into a slot at the base of the Rebellion Blade’s hilt. [THREE!] The mouth opened, revealing a trio of red and blue circles. [NEPHILIM SABER STRIKE!] The Rebellion Blade flashed with red and blue mana as Dante swung it around three times, but the Rage Phantom was able to jump back in time to dodge.

The Phantom lunged at Dante but he jumped into the air and punched the Nephilim Ring into the back of the Rebellion Blade’s handle. [ONE!] The mouth opened, revealing a single red and blue circle as the Rage Phantom jumped up towards him. [NEPHILIM SABER STRIKE!] Dante came shooting down with an overhead slash that slammed the Rage Phantom into the ground. 

Dante was about to start gloating when the Rage Phantom jumped back up, set its front claws on fire and slashed him across the chest plate twice. “ARGH!” Dante stumbled back from the attack as he punched the Nephilim Ring into the base of the Rebellion Blade’s handle again. [FIVE!] The singled red and blue circle transformed into five. [NEPHILIM SABER STRIKE!] Dante ran forwards and stabbed the Rage Phantom with the Rebellion Blade making sparks explode from the impact point. 

The Rage Phantom snarled as it landed on all fours, skidding backwards several feet. It fired all of its quills at Dante, they rocketed through the air like missiles.

Seeing this, Dante punched the Nephilim Ring into the slot at the base of the Rebellion Blade’s handle. [SIX!] A single extra circle was added to the Rebellion Blade’s mouth. [NEPHILIM SABER STRIKE!] Dante stabbed forwards multiple times with the Rebellion Blade so fast that his arm was a blur. Sparks flew through the air as the sword hit the quills and knocked them out of the air. 

Dante ran forwards as he punched the Nephilim Ring into the Rebellion Blade’s slot again. [ONE!] The number of circles in the sword’s mouth was reduced to one. [NEPHILIM SABER STRIKE!] Dante slashed upwards, sending the Rage Phantom shooting into the air from the force behind the sword. Dante used the momentum of the blade to pull himself into the air as well.

Dante quickly punched the Nephilim Ring into the back of the Rebellion Blade once more. [TWO!] Making the number of circles in the Rebellion Blade’s mouth increase by one. [NEPHILIM SABER STRIKE!] Dante spun around, slashing the Rage Phantom twice before ending his combo on an upwards slash that cut a glowing black gash into the Phantom and sent it higher into the air.

As the Rage Phantom was shot into the air, Dante pulled out Ebony and Ivory, shooting them downwards. The recoil from the guns was so great that Dante was stalled in the air long enough for the Rage Phantom to get level with him again. Dante punched the Nephilim Ring into the slot at the base of the Rebellion Blade’s handle one last time. [FOUR!] The circles in the Rebellion Blade’s mouth doubled. [NEPHILIM SABER STRIKE!] Dante slashed the Phantom three more times doing even more damage to it.

Dante landed back on the ground and saw that the Rage Phantom was badly injured but still alive. He punched the Nephilim Ring into his Driver’s left slot. [GO! KICK STRIKE!] Red and blue energy start to charge around his left boot as he pressed down on the Rebellion Blade’s trigger. [NEPHILIM SABER STRIKE!] Dante flipped the Rebellion Blade into a reverse-handed grip as it was covered in a thin layer of red and blue energy. Then the energy surged from his right boot to his sword making the mana rage as Dante slashed with his sword twice. “Over!” he began as two waves of red and blue energy were fired, trapping the Rage Phantom. “Drive!” Dante slashed three times more and fired three more mana waves that slammed into the Rage Phantom washing over it and making a powerful explosion rip through the area as the Phantom was destroyed.

With that fight done the two Kamen Rider’s jumped through an archway and took a right turn. They ran outside and arrived at what looked like an elevator shaft with a rising walkway around it. They ran up the walkway, only for part of it to break apart in front of them.

“This is going to be a regular thing isn’t it?” asked Dante.

[MAGICAL TOUCH HENSHIN!] [SWIFT PLEASE!] [DASH AWAY!] “Likely,” replied Symbol. [MAGIC TOUCHIE HENSHIN!] [WING SNIPER PLEASE!] She jumped into the air and gave the Flight Wings and single strong flap, shooting over the gap. Knowing that Dante would be right behind her she ran around a corner and then around another corner, before reaching a break in the walkway with the part after the beak being higher up.

[MAGICAL TOUCH HENSHIN!] [ACTIVE PLEASE!] [LET’S GO!] Symbol transformed into the Active Style. [MAGIC TOUCHIE HENSHIN!] [BOOST DEFEND PLEASE!] Before turning straight into the Active Boost Defend Style. [MAGIC TOUCHIE GO!] [BOOST MAGIC PLEASE!] Purple mana ran into the Boost Grieves as Symbol jumped into the air, clearing the gap with ease.

With that Symbol reached the top of the elevator shaft. [FIVE!] [FIST STRIKE!] Only to have to roll to the side as Dante came down and smash the Eryx Gauntlets into the top of the elevator.

“Going down?” he asked as the elevator fell down, reaching the opening.

“You could have warned me!” shouted Symbol.

“Where’s the fun in that?” asked Dante as he ran on ahead.

The two of them found themselves on a grated floor with a giant gap in it as the Phantom’s arrived.

Let the battle begin.

Dante was already in his Angel Style as he saw five Blade Phantom converging on his position he punched the Angel Ring into the back of the Osiris Scythe blade. [FOUR!] Which opened to reveal four light blue dots. [ANGEL SCYTHE STRIKE!] Dante crotched down as the light blue wind covered the Osiris Scythe before he jumped upwards while spinning. The Osiris Scythe cut into the five Blade Phantom’s over a dozen times as the light blue wind pulled them into the air.

While still in the air Dante punched the Angel Ring into the back of the Osiris Scythe again. [ONE!] The dots shimmered before being cut down to a single lonely light blue dot. [ANGEL SCYTHE STRIKE!] Dante spun the Osiris Scythe several more times cutting the Blade Phantom’s and drawing sparks from their bodies.

The group landed back on the ground and as the Blade Phantoms started to get back up, Dante hit the Osiris Scythe’s trigger. [ANGEL SCYTHE STRIKE!] Light blue mana covered the Osiris Scythe’s blade and transformed into the form a wing. Dante spun the Osiris Scythe around, cutting into the Blade Phantoms with it as the feathers shot off. The Osiris Scythe was moving so fast that it looked like Dante was surrounded by a circle of light blue light with the feathers forming five more circles as they cut into the Phantom’s which exploded.

At that moment a pair of Death Knight Phantom’s pulled their way from the ground.

Knowing that the Osiris Scythe would be less than useless against them Dante switched the Angel Ring for the Arbiter Ring and punched it into his Driver’s left slot. [SET!] Dante turned his wrist back making his Driver’s gate close before turning it forwards to make his Driver’s gate open. [OPEN!] The arbiter magic circle appeared from Dante’s Driver, knocking the Death Knight Phantom’s backwards and passed through him. [A-R-B-I-T-E-R!] Transforming Dante into the Arbiter Style. Then he did a classic double take as he saw the arbiter magic circle had knocked one of the Death Knight Phantom’s over the edge and through the hole in the floor into the endless drop. An explosion from far below signalled the Death Knight Phantom’s death.

“That was convenient!” muttered Dante as he blocked a slash from the other Death Knight Phantom with the shaft of the Arbiter Axe. Dante punched the Arbiter Ring into a slot at the base of the Arbiter Axe’s handle. [FOUR!] Dante knocked the Death Knight Phantom’s sword to the side as the holographic dice appeared before spinning, stopping on a four. [AXE STRIKE!] Dante pulled the Arbiter Axe back as three pulses of red energy were pulled into its blade and slammed it down. The three pulses of energy roared out the Arbiter Axe made contact with the Death Knight Phantom's shield and caused it to shatter.

Dante punched the Arbiter Ring into the slot at the bottom of the Arbiter Axe’s handle as the Phantom stagger backwards from losing its shield. [TWO!] The holographic dice halved its numbers as Dante spun the Arbiter Axe around. [AXE STRIKE!] Dante slammed the Arbiter Axe into the ground and two lines of red energy roared out of the impact point. They circled around and flung the Death Knight Phantom into the air.

Dante then punched the Arbiter Ring into the left slot of his Driver. [GO! KICK STRIKE!] Red mana roared around Dante’s right boot as he left it up. “Tremor!” he roared as he brought the boot down on the ground. Out of which roared a pillar of red mana that smashed into the Death Knight Phantom, washing over it and making a powerful explosion rip through the area.

Dante heard the familiar sound of the chainsaw and looked over his shoulder pauldron to see a Ravager Phantom cut its way out of the floor. Which made no sense as they were on a grated floor over an endless drop!

Dante shrugged off the supreme weirdness with long practised ease.

He switched the Arbiter Ring for the Eryx Ring and punched it into his Driver’s left slot. [SET!] Dante turned his wrist back to make his Driver’s gate close before turning it forwards making his Driver’s gate spring back open. [OPEN!] The eryx magic circle appeared from Dante’s Driver and moved back through him. [E-R-Y-X!] Once Dante was in the Eryx Style he charged at the Ravager Phantom which set itself on fire and charged back at him. A few seconds before they reached each other Dante punched the Eryx Ring into the slot on the right Eryx Gauntlet. [FOUR!] The holographic dice appeared over the gauntlet and spun until it reached four. [FIST STRIKE!] Red flames appeared around the left Eryx Gantlet as Dante pulled it back and slammed it into the ground, making a wall of flames appear and cut off the Ravager Phantom which roared in pain as it dispelled the wall with a swipe of its chainsaw. Before the Ravager Phantom swung its chainsaw at Dante forcing him to block with the Eryx Gauntlet.

Dante punched the Ravager Phantom in the face, sending it skidding backwards as he punched the Eryx Ring into his Driver’s left slot. [FIST STRIKE!] Dante pulled up his right boot as it was covered in red flames and mixed with the red mana covering it. “Showdown!” shouted Dante as he slammed his boot into the ground making the whole place shake and the Ravager Phantom lose its balance, falling over.

While the Ravager Phantom had fallen over, Dante pressed the Eryx Ring into the back of the right Eryx Gauntlet. [FIVE!] The holographic dice appeared once more and stopped when it had a single extra dot displayed. [FIST STRIKE!] Dante jumped into the air and blood red flames covered the Eryx Gauntlets. But then Dante pressed the trigger inside the left Eryx Gauntlet. [FIST STRIKE!] The right Eryx Gauntlet was covered in raging flames as Dante shot down. The flames covered him and shifted into a construct of the right Eryx Gauntlet as Dante hit the ground, crushing the Ravager Phantom under the construct and making it explode.

Dante then glanced over his shoulder guard as a Rage Phantom climbed up from the hole and roared at him as it got ready to pounce. “Here we go!” Dante changed the Eryx Ring for the Nephilim Ring and punched it into his Driver's left slot. [SET!] He turned his wrist back and then forwards, making his Driver’s gate close and open. [OPEN!] The nephilim magic circle appeared from Dante’s Driver and moved back through him. [N-E-P-H-I-L-I-M!] Dante pulled the Rebellion Blade from his back plate and used it to block two slashes from the Rage Phantom’s front claws. Dante pressed the Nephilim Ring into the slot at the base of the Rebellion Blade’s handle. [ONE!] Its mouth opened to show a red and blue circle. [NEPHILIM SABER STRIKE!] Dante slashed upwards sending the Ravager Phantom shooting into the air from the power behind his swing.

The Rage Phantom recovered in the air and curled into a ball before firing itself down at Dante. Who punched the Nephilim Ring into the back of the Rebellion Blade’s handle. [FIVE!] The mouth opened to show five red and blue circles. [NEPHILIM SABER STRIKE!] Dante drew the Rebellion Blade back and just as the Rage Phantom was about to impact he stabbed it forwards, sending the Phantom flying back before uncurling and landing on its feet. 

Dante quickly pressed down on the Rebellion Blade’s trigger. [NEPHILIM SABER STRIKE!] The sword’s eyes flash as Dante ran forwards with it covered in red and blue energy before stabbing forward. His blade hit the Rage Phantom and shot and thin beam out of its back.

The Rage Phantom gave a loud roar as it slashed Dante across the chest plate forcing him to jump back as sparks exploded from the cut. “Time to end this fight!” shouted Dante as he pressed down on the Rebellion Blade’s trigger. [NEPHILIM SABER STRIKE!] The eyes flashed as red and blue magical energy ran into the blade. “Drive!” shouted Dante as he flipped the Rebellion Blade into a reverse-handed grip and swung it. This fired a crescent of red and blue energy that zoomed towards the Rage Phantom. The Phantom hissed as it fired several quills that did nothing to stop the powerful attack as it slammed into the Rage Phantom and caused the Phantom to explode.

*BOOM!*

Symbol was having a much harder fight as she avoided a Tyrant Phantom that was trying its best to pound her into paste. She jumped over it as it charged at her and while in the air she switched the Active Ring with the Giga Ring before slamming her glove down on the left Shift Lever. [MAGICAL TOUCH HENSHIN!] Symbol scanned her left glove across the Wizard Driver’s Hand Author. [GIGA PLEASE!] She held her left glove to the ground and the giga magic circle appeared before rising up through her, knocking the Tyrant Phantom back as her body transformed. [BREAK THROUGH!] Now in the Giga Style Symbol hit the left Shift Lever once. [MAGICAL TOUCH SPELL!] Before scanning the Giga Ring again. [GIGA C RANK SPELL!] Her right glow glowed with green mana as he thrust it forwards, meeting the fist of the Tyrant Phantom and causing a shockwave as the two of them stumbled back. 

Symbol quickly recovered and hit the left Shift Lever four times. [MAGICAL TOUCH GO! VERY NICE!] Green mana raged around her right glove as she scanned the Giga Ring across the Wizard Driver’s Hand Author. [GIGA! S RANK SPELL! THE BEST!] Symbol ran forwards and pulled her fist back as she jumped into the air. “Giga Fist!” Symbol smashed her fist into the Tyrant Phantom’s face making an explosion ignite across it and the Phantom roar in pain.

Symbol landed on the ground and looked up just in time to see the Tyrant Phantom jump out of the smoke coming down with both of its arms in a double hammer blow. Symbol hit the left Shift Lever three times. [MAGICAL TOUCH SPELL!] She was able to scan her left glove right before the Tyrant Phantom impacted. [GIGA A RANK SPELL!] When the shockwave cleared, Symbol was seen crossing both of her arms over her helmet, holding back of the Tyrant Phantom’s hands.

With a snarl, Symbol forced the Phantom off and pressed the left Shift Lever twice. [MAGICAL TOUCH SPELL!] She threw her right arm out to the side as she scanned her left glove across the Wizard Driver’s Hand Author. [GIGA B RANK SPELL!] Green magical energy built up around her right glove as Symbol jumped into the air and came down with a chop to the Tyrant Phantom’s head drawing sparks from it.

The Phantom roared and punched Symbol making her go shooting backwards into a wall, denting it. “Owie!” groaned Symbol as she got back to her boots and saw the Tyrant Phantom set itself on fire before charging. “No, you don’t!” Symbol hit the left Shift Lever four times. [MAGICAL TOUCH GO! VERY NICE!] Symbol held up her right glove as she swiped her left glove. [GIGA! S RANK SPELL! THE BEST!] Symbol’s right glove was covered in green mana as she pulled it back. “Giga Smash!” Symbol slammed her glove into the ground and fired two energy waves that slammed into the Tyrant Phantom and made it groan in pain from the energy.

Symbol used the time she had bought herself to added the Bombardment and Terra Rings to her right glove and hit the right Shift Lever. [MAGIC TOUCHIE HENSHIN!] Symbol held her right glove to the ground and the two magic circles appeared before rising up through her. [BOMBARDMENT TERRA PLEASE!] Now in the Giga Bombardment Terra Style Symbol slammed her right glove down on the right Shift Lever once. [MAGIC TOUCHIC GO!] Then Symbol scanned the Bombardment Ring. [BOMBARDMENT MAGIC PLEASE!] Symbol took aim and fired a pair of beams from the Chain Cannons that smashed into the Tyrant Phantom and exploded.

The Tyrant Phantom roared in pain as micro explosions ignited around its body. Symbol slammed her glove down on the right Shift Lever four times. [MAGIC TOUCHIC GO! VERY NICE!] Before aligning her right glove across the Wizard Driver’s Hand Author. [BOMBARDMENT TERRA MAGIC! THE BEST!] Symbol took aim as the treads on the Chain cannons spun and a rock was pulled from the ground. Symbol fired a pair of blue beams from the Chain Cannons, the magical energy wrapped around the rock and made it shatter into pieces which flew at the Tyrant Phantom. Each of the fragments smashed into the Phantom making sparks explode from its body until the Tyrant Phantom itself exploded.

Just when Symbol thought it was over she heard a familiar roar. “You have got to be kidding me!” she shouted as she turned around.

Just in time for a second Tyrant Phantom to punch her and send her flying backwards, crashing into and through a wall. Seconds later Symbol stomped back through the hole. “There's two of you?!” she demanded in anger.

The Tyrant Phantom roared as it set itself on fire and charged at Symbol.

“Let’s fight fire with fire!” Symbol switched the Bombardment Ring for the Punch Ring and the Terra Ring for the Drill Ring before slamming her glove down on the right Shift Lever. [MAGIC TOUCHIE HENSHIN!] Symbol swiped her right glove across the Wizard Driver’s Hand Author. [PUNCH DRILL PLEASE!] Both of the magic circles appeared under her boots and rose up through her as Symbol hit the right Shift Lever twice. [MAGIC TOUCHIC GO!] Then scanned her right glove. [DRILL MAGIC PLEASE!] Symbol pulled back her left fist and punched it into the ground, out of which burst a wall of drills that ground sparks from the Tyrant Phantom as it impacted them.

The Phantom gave a loud roar as it smashed one hand into the wall, making it shatter before the Tyrant Phantom spun around and backhanded Symbol through the air. This time she did not get sent through a wall and landed back on the grated floor thanks to her bodies extra armour. Symbol jumped into the air and hit the right Shift Lever once. [MAGIC TOUCHIC GO!] Before scanning her right glove. [PUNCH MAGIC PLEASE!] Red flames covered her left glove as the drills on the end of the Punch Drillers started to spin as Symbol punched down making sparks explode from the Phantom’s body.

Symbol landed on the ground only for the Tyrant Phantom to perform a body slam on top of his making sparks explode from her body as with a great amount of effort she threw the Phantom off.

“Time to end this!” growled Symbol as she changed the Punch and Drill Rings for the Hammer and Quake Rings then hit the right Shift Lever. [MAGIC TOUCHIE HENSHIN!] Symbol scanned her right glove. [HAMMER QUAKE PLEASE!] The hammer and quake magic circles appeared under her boots and rose up through her, transforming Symbol into the Giga Hammer Quake Style. The Tyrant Phantom had got back to its feet and charged at the Kamen Rider who hit the right Shift Lever once. [MAGIC TOUCHIC GO!] Symbol scanned her right glove across the Wizard Driver’s Hand Author. [HAMMER MAGIC PLEASE!] The pistons on the Piston Hammer pulled back as Symbol swung the weapon. It met the fist of the Tyrant Phantom and made sparks explode from the limb as the Phantom staggered backwards in pain.

Symbol hit the right Shift Lever twice more. [MAGIC TOUCHIC GO!] Then scanned her right glove as she pulled the Piston Hammer back. [QUAKE MAGIC PLEASE!] The hammer clicked several times as Symbol slammed it into the ground and an orange line of energy rose through the grates. As it reached the Tyrant Phantom orange rocks were pulled from nowhere and the energized rubble was propelled into the Tyrant Phantom making its body sparks from the damage.

The Tyrant Phantom gave a roar as it shrugged off the damage, set itself on fire and charged at Symbol. Who hit the Wizard Driver’s right Shift Lever three more times. [MAGIC TOUCHIC GO!] Symbol spun the Piston Hammer as she scanned her right glove once more. [HAMMER QUAKE MAGIC PLEASE!] Symbol slammed the Piston Hammer down and a slam of rock appeared in the air and fell on the Tyrant Phantom, dazing it and stopping its charge.

Seeing that the Tyrant Phantom was dazed, Symbol took the opening she had to finish it off by pressing down on the right Shift Lever four times. [MAGIC TOUCHIC GO! VERY NICE!] Before scanning her right glove. [HAMMER QUAKE MAGIC! THE BEST!] Orange energy was pulled from the air and gathered into a sphere in front of Symbol as the Piston Hammer glowed with black magical energy. “Downfall Hammer!” roared Symbol as she pulled the Piston Hammer back and hit the orb. The black magical energy mixed with the orange magical energy as the orb was sent shooting forwards. It slammed into the Tyrant Phantom and drew sparks from its body as the Phantom was sent shooting back. The sphere continued to press into it, doing more and more damage as it forced the Phantom through a wall. That proved to be the final straw as the Tyrant Phantom went up in a brilliant explosion.

“How many times did you use the hole?” asked Symbol as she ran up to Dante.

“Only once. You?” asked Dante.

“None! Ha! I win!” cheered Symbol.

[SET!] [OPEN!] [O-S-I-R-I-S!] Dante growled as he transformed into the Angel Style. [HOOK MODE!] Before turning the Osiris Scythe into the Angel Lift and using it to pull himself up to a way out of the room. 

Dante knew that Symbol would be right behind him as he took a left turn and used the Angel Lift to get over some black rocks that had been blocking the way out of the building.

He landed on the other side and on what he knew was the underside of a train track, he had spent enough time under train bridges in his childhood to know them on site.

That and a train passed under him the second he landed, stopping Dante from hearing the thud of his sister’s boots. “We’re coming for you Bob,” muttered Dante as the two of them ran down the bridge.

All of a sudden the bridge started to twist as its support beams snapped out of place. “Woah!” shouted Symbol as she and Dante had to avoid a few. [MAGIC TOUCHIE HENSHIN!] [BOOST DEFEND PLEASE!] She transformed into the Active Boost Defend Style and used her Defend Shield to block one of the beams. “This is crazy!” she shouted in shock.

“This is a party!” shouted Dante had he jumped over another beam.

“You're crazy!” shouted Symbol.

“Thank you!” replied Dante.

“It wasn’t a compliment!” yelled Symbol.

At that moment a train came screaming down the track and smashed into the rails that had been twisted out of place by the Slip Dimension. The train derailed, shooting towards Symbol and Dante like over a dozen train sized bullets. 

“SHIT!” screamed Dante as he and his sister started to dodge and while the barrage lasted only a minute it felt like an hour before the two Kamen Rider’s were able to stop dodging.

“That, was, close,” panted Symbol.

“Tell, me, about, it,” panted Dante as he got his breath back. “It gets worse,” he muttered.

“HOW?!” demanded Symbol.

Dante pointed to the bridge. “How do we get to Bob now?” he asked.

“Oh,” muttered Symbol.

“What's going on over there?” asked Dante.

Symbol glanced in the direction that her brother was looking in and saw a trio of Phantom’s with wings and stag antlers coming from the back of her hands attacking what looked like a human male? “Not sure, let’s have a look. If anything then we could find another path that way,” replied Symbol.

“You really think so?” asked Dante with some doubt.

“Worth a shot,” shrugged Symbol. [MAGIC TOUCHIE GO!] [BOOST MAGIC PLEASE!] Purple energy ran into the Boost Grieves as she jumped to a rock, then down to one of the train cars that was floating in the Slip Dimension like a leaf would on water. She jumped to a second car before leaping to a glowing light blue ring in the air.

[MAGICAL TOUCH HENSHIN!] [SWIFT PLEASE!] [DASH AWAY!] Just before she reached the ring Symbol transformed into the Swift Style, letting her momentum carry her forwards. [MAGIC TOUCHIE HENSHIN!] [WING SNIPER PLEASE!] Then as she passed through the ring she transformed into the Swift Wing Sniper Style and gave the Flight Wings a hard flap that made the ring propel her forwards to a train car that had embedded itself in a build from the force it had been travelling at.

“Leave me alone! Leave me alone!” shouted the man as he swung at the Phantom’s with the walking stick he was holding.

Symbol jumped to the ledge the man was standing on as the Peryton Phantom’s fled into a tunnel. She heard Dante land behind her.

“Who’s there?!” shouted the man as he swung his weapon around. “I know your there! I can feel you! Who is it?! I’ll cut your head off!” shouted the man.

Symbol saw that half of the man’s head was missing and it was mechanical, marking him as a Phantom. “Put your stick down!” she ordered him. “We’re not going to hurt you!”

“Unless you give us a reason to,” Dante butted in.

“Are you a prison of Wiseman to?” asked the man as he started to use his walking stick as it was supposed to be used.

“No. We’re from upstairs,” replied Dante.

“Can you tell us how to get to that tower?” asked Symbol.

“The tower? Why?” asked the man.

“We wanna kill the Phantom that runs this show,” explained Dante.

“Will you help us?” asked Symbol.

“Kill it?” asked the man. “Yes. I can help.”

“I’m sensing a but,” stated Symbol.

“But only if you help me,” confirmed the man.

“There’s always a catch!” groaned Dante.

“All right, let’s hear it,” requested Symbol.
> S1E9 Eyeless
> --------------------------------------------------------------------------

“Those flying bastards stole my eye,” explained the man. “They torment me incessantly. I can’t leave here without it. I’m trapped for all eternity!”

“I take it that if you had your eye then leaving would not be a problem?” asked Symbol.

“Correct,” replied the man as he turned to the siblings. “If you two get my back my eye, then I’ll take you to the tower,” he offered.

“You have yourself a deal,” replied Dante.

“As long as you don’t mind being bait,” added Symbol.

The man stared at them both.


Five minutes later


Dante and Symbol were hidden behind a pillar and the man was standing in the centre of the ledge.

“Over here flying bastards!” shouted the man. “Come!” The Peryton Phantom’s returned to attack him.

“Now!” shouted Dante as he and his sister jumped out from behind the wall and charged at the Peryton Phantom’s.

The Phantom’s flew through an archway.

“Go! Follow them!” ordered the man. “Find their nest!”

Dante was already in the Angel Style and used the Angel Lift to get through the archway. Knowing that Symbol in her Active Boost Defend Style would be right behind him, he did not pause. “That’s it, lead the way!” Dante hooked onto another archway as he followed the Peryton Phantoms.

[SET!] [OPEN!] [A-R-B-I-T-E-R!] He transformed into the Arbiter Style. [GRAPPLE MODE!] Before transforming the Arbiter Axe into the Demon Pull and yanking a block from a wall.

Dante was just about to jump to it when the wall and block streaked away like an express train as the floor ripped itself apart.

[SET!] [OPEN!] [O-S-I-R-I-S!] “I should have seen that coming!” shouted Dante in anger as he transformed back into the Angel Style. [HOOK MODE!] Before changing the Osiris Scythe into the Angel Lift and jumping into a small corridor on the left side. He was just about to transform into the Eryx Style and break down a wall that was blocking the path when Symbol stopped him.

[MAGICAL TOUCH HENSHIN!] [GIGA PLEASE!] [BREAK THROUGH!] “Let me handle this one,” she asked her brother as she transformed into the Giga Style. [MAGIC TOUCHIE HENSHIN!] [PUNCH DRILL PLEASE!] Then Symbol transformed into the Giga Punch Drill Style as she used one of the Punch Drillers to break down the wall which was blocking their path.

The two of them arrived at another archway and saw several rocks floating in the air.

[MAGICAL TOUCH HENSHIN!] [ACTIVE PLEASE!] [LET’S GO!] “We can use those,” stated Symbol as she transformed into the Active Style. [MAGIC TOUCHIE HENSHIN!] [ICE BIND PLEASE!] Before she upgraded into the Active Ice Bind Style. [MAGIC TOUCHIE GO!] [BIND MAGIC PLEASE!] A chain of orange magical energy shot from the Grapple Gauntlet and wrapped around a piece of the floor that was floating and pulled it towards her.

Suddenly the piece of floor stopped and no matter how hard Symbol pulled on it she could not get it to come any closer. “What on earth?” she muttered in confusion. Then a glowing blue circle appeared on the piece of floor. “Of course,” deadpanned Symbol in anger at this development.

“It’s not that bad!” protested Dante as he hooked the Angel Lift onto the circle and pulled himself onto it. [KICK STRIKE GO!] Before Angel Boosting away.

“Ease for you to say,” grunted Symbol as she followed after her Brother.

“Ahah!” shouted Dante as he landed and saw the Peryton Phantom’s turn a corner. “There you are!” he yelled as he followed them. Just as he was about to move into the tunnel a demonic train that was on fire roared past, literally. “Woah!” shouted Dante as he jerked his body back.

“What on earth was that?!” demanded Symbol as she approached.

“From the look over it? A demonic train,” replied Dante as he panted from the near-death experience.

Once Dante had recovered the two Kamen Riders jumped into the tunnel which looked fairly short.

Right before the Slip Dimension made it stretch until it was half a mile long and had several gaps in it.

“I knew that was going to happen,” stated Symbol duly with Dante nodding in agreement.

They jumped over one gap right before the lights on one side of the tunnel turned from green to red and another demonic train came roaring towards them.

“Oh shit!” shouted Dante.

“This way!” yelled Symbol as she tackled him to the side with the green lights.

They both braced for the impact that never came as the train went screaming past them.

“How did you know that would work?” asked Dante in curiosity.

“Red is for danger,” explained Symbol simply.

This made Dante sweat drop.

They continued running, jumping over another two gaps and having to avoid a second demonic train. Then they arrived at a sunken train platform.

“Flying bastards!” muttered Dante as the Peryton Phantoms flew away.

“We’re catching up though,” replied Symbol as they landed on the ground.

Then a barrier sprung up around the platform as more Phantom’s arrived.

“You were saying?” asked Dante.

Symbol face plate palmed.

Dante latched the Angel Lift onto a Lesser Blade Phantom and pulled himself towards it. Halfway there he cancelled the lift and turned the Angel Lifts handle. [SCYTHE MODE!] This made it transform back into the Osiris Scythe as Dante punched the Angel Ring into the back of its blade. [TWO!] The blade opened to reveal two light blue circles. [ANGEL SCYTHE STRIKE!] Dante spun around several times slashing the five Lesser Blade Phantom with the Osiris Scythe.

One of them lunged forward and was able to slash at his arm making sparks explode from it. “Ouch!” grunted Dante as he pressed down on the Osiris Scythe’s trigger. [ANGEL SCYTHE STRIKE!] Light blue mana gathered around the Osiris Scythe’s blade and formed into a wing construct. “Karma!” shouted Dante as he spun around, the feathers shot off the wing and followed the movements of the Osiris Scythe. The weapon moved so fast that it and the feathers looked like nothing but five circles of light. Dante stopped spinning as the five Phantom’s fell over and exploded.

Suddenly, a pair of Ravager Phantom’s sawed their way up through the ground in a spray of sparks. “Bring it on!” shouted Dante as he swapped the Angel Ring for the Nephilim Ring and punched it into his Driver’s left slot. [SET!] Dante turned his wrist back, then forwards making his Driver’s gate open and close. [OPEN!] Dante jumped back as the nephilim magic circle appeared from his Driver and knocked one of the Ravager Phantom’s back as it moved through him. [N-E-P-H-I-L-I-M!] Dante pulled the Rebellion Blade off his back and used it to block a chainsaw from one of the Ravager Phantom’s, only to be forced backwards by it.

Dante looked up in surprise as he stopped skidding. “Is it just me, or have you lot gotten stronger?” he questioned.

His only answer was the Ravager Phantom’s setting themselves on fire, revving up their chainsaws and charging at Dante. He quickly rolled to the side and as the Ravager Phantom’s adjusted their course one of them had to stop or risk running into its ally. Dante punched the Nephilim Ring into the back of the Rebellion Blade’s handle. [THREE!] The mouth then opened to reveal three red and blue circles. [NEPHILIM SABER STRIKE!] Dante took a stance as he hit the side of the chainsaw twice making it veer off course and letting him slash the Phantom once with the Rebellion Blade making sparks come from it.

Seeing his opening Dante pressed down on the Rebellion Blade’s trigger. [NEPHILIM SABER STRIKE!] The sword’s eyes flashed as red and blue energy gathered around the Rebellion Blade before Dante unleashed three slashes that caused the Ravager Phantom to explode.

“ARGH!” shouted Dante in pain as he was cut across the chest late by the second Ravage Phantom. Sparks were drawn from the line it cut along his chest plate as Dante was able to throw himself back, avoiding getting cut in half. He pulled out Ebony and Ivory before opening fire on the Ravage Phantom, forcing it to use its chainsaw as a shield to block the bullets.

Dante held down the trigger of both hand cannons as they started charging. Three energy rings were pulled from the air and into the hand cannons, the first two were red, the second two were light blue and the last two were black for Ebony while Ivory’s last energy ring was white. [EBONY AND IVORY STRIKE!] Dante let go of both triggers and fired a pair of high powered bullets that spiralled around each other to make a cone. “Ricoshot!” it slammed into the Ravager Phantom’s chainsaw and pushed it back as cracks spread through the weapon. Thankfully for the Ravager Phantom, the attack ended before it’s chainsaw could shatter.

Dante saw this and repeated the charging process as he jumped into the air while spinning. [EBONY AND IVORY STRIKE!] Dante flipped upside down and opened fire, bombarding the Phantom with a rain of bullets. “Rainstorm!”

The Ravager Phantom blocked with its chainsaw only for the weapon to crumble and leave it to face most of the barrage itself. When the rainstorm of bullets finally ended the Ravager Phantom had fallen to one knee as lightning cracked over its body from the damage. Dante saw the Ravager Phantom was nearly dead and pressed the Nephilim Ring into the base of the Rebellion Blade’s handle. [ONE!] The mouth opened to show and red and blue dot. [NEPHILIM SABER STRIKE!] Dante came shooting down and slammed his sword into the Ravager Phantom making a storm of sparks explode from its body.

“Ok, now I know something’s wrong. That last attack should have finished you off,” deciding not to dwell on it Dante pressed the trigger on the Rebellion Blade’s hilt. [NEPHILIM SABER STRIKE!] Red and blue energy covered the Rebellion Blade as its eyes flashed. Dante pulled the sword back. “Helm Breaker!” he shouted as he slammed the sword down making a blade of energy tear along the ground and slam into the Ravager Phantom finally causing it to explode.

All of a sudden, a pair of Death Knight Phantom’s pulled themselves from the ground and charged at Dante. He exchanged the Nephilim Ring for the Arbiter Ring and punched it into his Driver’s left slot. [SET!] Dante turned his wrist back then forwards, making his Driver’s gate open and close. [OPEN!] The arbiter magic circle appeared from his Driver and knocked the Death Knight Phantom’s back as it passed through Dante. [A-R-B-I-T-E-R!] He pulled the Arbiter Axe off his back and turned the handle. [GRAPPLE MODE!] The Arbiter Axe transformed into the Demon Pull as Dante used it twice, robbing both of the Knight Phantom Phantom’s shields.

Dante turned the Demon Pull’s handle again. [AXE MODE!] Transforming it back into the Arbiter Axe. Dante punched the Arbiter Ring into the slot at the bottom of the Arbiter Axe’s handle. [TWO!] The holographic dice appeared and spun several times before stopping on a two. [AXE STRIKE!] Dante pulled back the Arbiter Axe as red magical energy gathered around its blade before slamming it into the ground. Two lines of energy shot out of the impact point and lead to the Death Knight Phantoms, throwing them both into the air at the same time.

Just in time to be smashed to bits by another demonic train as it went screaming above the platform.

“Huh,” Dante blinked several times, not sure how to take that. On one hand he had just been rob of a kill and on the other hand, he didn’t have to fight those Death Knight Phantoms. He decided not to look a gift horse in the mouth.

Then a Rage Phantom appeared and fired a barrage of quills at Dante making him roll back as sparks were drawn from his armour. “Your gonna pay for that you bastard!” shouted Dante as he changed the Arbiter Ring for the Eryx Ring and punched it into his Driver’s left slot. [SET!] Dante turned his wrist back to make his Driver’s gate close before turning it forwards again making his Driver’s gate open. [OPEN!] The eryx magic circle appeared from Dante’s driver and moved back through him. [E-R-Y-X!] Dante jumped into the air as he transformed into the Eryx Style. He punched the Eryx Ring into the back of the right Eryx Gauntlet making the holographic dice appear. [FIVE!] The Rage Phantom jumped up towards Dante as the dice stopped on a five. [FIST STRIKE!] Dante went shooting down and smashed his fist into the Rage Phantom sending it shooting downwards, slamming into the ground dazed.

Seeing this, Dante pressed the trigger inside the left Eryx Gauntlet. [FIST STRIKE!] Red mana gathered around the right Eryx Gauntlet and built up as Dante went shooting down. The magical energy gathered around him into the construct of a large Eryx Gauntlet as Dante slammed it down on top of the Phantom. Sparks exploded from the Rage Phantom before it went up in a massive explosion.

Dante walked out of the explosion with ease and no damage before pausing. “Those Phantom’s were definitely stronger than the last few,” he muttered to himself deep in thought.

Symbol was fighting just as hard as her brother. She pressed the Wizard Driver’s right Shift Lever twice. [MAGIC TOUCHIE GO!] Then ducked under the slash of a Death Knight Phantom as she scanned her right glove. [BIND MAGIC PLEASE!] Orange magical energy gathered around the Grapple Gauntlet as Symbol fired a beam of orange energy that shifted into a chain. She wrapped it around the Death Knight Phantom’s shield and tore the defence from the Phantom’s grasp before swing it around and into the Phantom sending it head over heel.

Symbol pressed the right Shift Lever three times. [MAGIC TOUCHIE GO!] Then she scanned her right glove across the Wizard Driver’s Hand Author as the Death Knight Phantom started to get back up. [ICE BIND MAGIC PLEASE!] Out of the ground burst several ice spikes in a circle around the Death Knight Phantom that locked it in place, stopping it from moving.

With her opening, Symbol hit the right Shift Lever four times. [MAGIC TOUCHIE GO! VERY NICE!] Before aligning her right glove with the Wizard Driver’s Hand Author. [ICE BIND MAGIC! THE BEST!] She fired a chain of orange magical energy from the Grapple Gauntlet that pierced through the chest of the Death Knight Phantom. Symbol then sent ice blue magical energy from the Icy Bracer down the chain, making the Phantom freeze over. “Piercing Chain!” shouted Symbol as with a mighty heave she pulled the Death Knight Phantom into the air.

Her original intention was to smash it into the ground. However, at that moment another demonic train screamed overhead and smashed the frozen Death Knight Phantom into pieces.

“Huh, that happened,” blinked Symbol as she took in what had just happened.

Symbol did not have much time to think about it as a Hell Knight Phantom burst from the ground and moved to attack her. “Bring it on!” shouted Symbol as she switched the Active Ring for the Giga Ring and punched the left Shift Lever. [MAGICAL TOUCH HENSHIN!] Symbol scanned her left glove across the Wizard Driver’s Hand Author. [GIGA PLEASE!] The giga magical circle appeared under her boots and rose up through her. [BREAK THROUGH!] Symbol quickly used the Giga Axe to block a swung from the Hell Knight Phantom but had to wince at the heat it was producing.

“Time to go into high gear!” shouted Symbol as she added the Punch and Driller Rings to her right glove before hitting the right Shift Lever. [MAGIC TOUCHIE HENSHIN!] The Wizard Driver’s Hand Author flipped to the right as Symbol scanned her right glove across it. [PUNCH DRILL PLEASE!] The two magic circles appeared under her boots and rose up through Symbol, knocking the Hell Knight Phantom back and giving the Kamen Rider some breathing room. [MAGIC TOUCHIC GO!] Symbols’ right glove was covered in red flames as she leapt into the air. [PUNCH MAGIC PLEASE!] Symbol came down with a punch as the drills on the Punch Drillers started to spin. Crimson red flames wrapped around the fist as she slammed it into the Hell Knight Phantom’s shield making it crack in several places.

Symbol blocked a slash with her right Punch Driller and jumped back, kicking off the Hell Knight Phantom’s shield. ‘That shield should have shattered! What’s going on?’ Symbol thought to herself.

The Hell Knight Phantom brought Symbol out of her shock as it stabbed its blade into the ground and lit the whole area around it in a circle on fire! “Ow! Hot!” shouted Symbol. [MAGIC TOUCHIC GO!] [DRILL MAGIC PLEASE!] She pulled back the right Punch Driller as the drills on the end of it started to spin before punching it into the ground. Out of which burst a wall of drills that Symbol jumped on. “Somethings wrong. I shouldn’t have felt that thanks to the Punch Style’s heat resistance,” muttered the Kamen Rider.

She looked down and saw the Hell Knight Phantom start to hack away at the base of the wall. To Symbol’s shock, it was actually doing damage! “That’s enough of that,” muttered Symbol as she punched the right Shift Lever three times. [MAGIC TOUCHIC GO!] Before scanning her right glove across the Wizard Driver’s Hand Author. [PUNCH DRILL MAGIC PLEASE!] Symbol jumped into the air as red flames mixed with purple mana covered both of her Punch Drillers as she shot down and drove them both into the Hell Knight Phantom’s shield making it explode.

[MAGIC TOUCHIC GO! VERY NICE!] While the Hell Knight Phantom was staggered, one of the drills merged with the other making a truly gigantic drill. [PUNCH DRILL MAGIC! THE BEST!] Symbol ran forwards thrusting the giant drill at the Hell Knight Phantom. “Merged Giga Drill Breaker!” shouted Symbol. The drill pierced into the Phantom and drew sparks come it as it ground through the Hell Knight Phantom and caused it to explode.

At that moment six Blade Phantom’s jumped out of the ground.

Symbol switched the Giga Ring for the Swift Ring and pressed the left Shift Lever. [MAGICAL TOUCH HENSHIN!] She aligned the Swift Ring with the Wizard Driver’s Hand Author. [SWIFT PLEASE!] Then Symbol held her left glove into the air. [DASH AWAY!] The swift magic circle appeared above her and fell through Symbol, transforming her into the Swift Style. [MAGICAL TOUCH GO!] She held her right glove towards the Blade Phantoms. [SWIFT! C RANK SPELL!] Firing six beams of yellow mana in an inverted triangle that smashed into them and sent the Phantom’s flying, separating them.

Just like Symbol wanted, together these Phantom’s were threats. When they were alone? Not so much.

[MAGICAL TOUCH GO!] [SWIFT! B RANK SPELL!] Symbol was covered in yellow mana as she vanished in a blur, her body leaving speed lines of magical energy behind her as she slashed each of the Blade Phantom’s fifty times in the next ten seconds. She appeared in the middle of the group of Phantom’s and flicked the Swift Dagger, lifting the delay, making sparks explode from the Phantom’s.

“Time to finish this!” shouted Symbol as she hit the left Shift Lever four times. [MAGICAL TOUCH GO! VERY NICE!] Before scanning the Swift Ring across the Wizard Driver’s Hand Author. [SWIFT! S RANK SPELL! THE BEST!] Symbol was covered in raging yellow mana as her visors glowed. She vanished and circled around all of the Blade Phantom’s. She was moving fast enough to appear as a circle of yellow energy that was constantly moving. She broke off and ran through the circle in a straight line, punching one of the Blade Phantom’s in the face before moving back into the circle. Symbol did this fast enough for the circle to still be in existence. Symbol repeated the process several more times. “Swift Attack!” with each attack she got faster and faster until the all of the Blade Phantom’s exploded.

Symbol skidded to a halt, only to be struck in the back. “ARGH!” she spun around and was shocked to see that a Blade Phantom had survived her attack. “That shouldn’t be- ARGH!” the Blade Phantom took advantage of Symbol’s shock by slashing her across the chest plate, making her stagger backwards. [COME ON A BLAST SHAKE HANDS!] Symbol grabbed the Swift Blaster and took aim at the Blade Phantom. [SWIFT! BLASTER STRIKE!] A orb of yellow magical energy appeared in front of the barrel as Symbol pulled the trigger. “Bullet Barrage!” the orb was discharged into a barrage of yellow bullets that made sparks explode from the Phantom’s body.

“Ok,” muttered Symbol as she flipped back to her boots. “Now I know something is going on!” she growled as she heard the familiar sound of a chainsaw and spun around to see a Ravager Phantom pulling itself out of the ground.

Symbol switched the Swift Ring for the Burst Ring and hit the left Shift Lever. [MAGICAL TOUCH HENSHIN!] Symbol scanned her left glove across the Wizard Driver’s Hand Author. [BURST PLEASE!] The burst magic circle appeared behind Symbol and moved through her, stopping the Ravager Phantom’s attack. [CAST THE SPELL!] Then Symbol dodged to the side as she added the Dust and Mirror Rings to her right glove then hit the right Shift Lever. [MAGIC TOUCHIE HENSHIN!] Symbol scanned her right glove across the Wizard Driver’s Hand Author. [DUST MIRROR PLEASE!] The two magic circles appeared behind her and moved through her as Symbol jumped backwards to avoid a swipe from the Ravager Phantom’s chainsaw. [MAGIC TOUCHIE GO!] As the Ravager Phantom set itself on fire and charged, Symbol held up her right glove. [MIRROR MAGIC PLEASE!] This made a wall of mirrors appear in front of the Phantom and out of it charged its own reflection that rammed into the Phantom.

Symbol jumped into the air as the Ravager Phantom was able to overpower its copy and ran at her. Symbol pulled out the Burst Staff. [COME ON A SPELL SHAKE HANDS] Purple, brown and mirror silver magical energy started to build up around the tip. [BURST! SPELL STRIKE!] The magical energy formed into four spears, two were mirror silver and the other two were dust brown. “Burst Spears!” they surrounded the Ravager Phantom and stabbed inwards making sparks explode from its body.

[NEPHILIM SABER STRIKE!] The Ravager Phantom looked up just in time for a crescent of red and blue magical energy to smash into it. “Drive!” came Dante’s bellow as the crescent washed over the Phantom and made a powerful explosion ripple through the train station.

“Hey! You stole my kill!” shouted Symbol in anger. “I thought we agreed no to do that!”

“We never said that!” laughed Dante as he ran away from his mad sister. He jumped onto the train platform and ran down a flight of stairs.

“Get back here!” shouted Symbol as she ran after him.

Suddenly a Phantom shard appeared in front of Dante. It was a yellow-white orb that was surrounded by shards of black metal. It started to spin before shooting forwards and smashing into Dante, sending him flying back into Symbol with sparks coming from his chest plate.

“You ok?” asked Symbol, her anger forgotten.

“I’ll be fine,” grunted Dante as he got up. “We’ll have to be careful, this place is booby-trapped!”

“I noticed,” replied Symbol dryly. They ran further down, following the stairs to the left as another Phantom shard appeared. [MAGICAL TOUCH GO!] [BURST! C RANK SPELL!] Symbol quickly fired four orbs of flame from her left glove that slammed into the Phantom shard, causing it to explode. “But at least the traps are very fragile,” she stated.

“That’s one thing to be thankful for,” stated Dante in agreement. They arrived at a dead end with a black wall blocking their path. Dante switched the Nephilim Ring for the Eryx Ring and punched it into his Driver’s left slot. [SET!] Dante turned his wrist back to make his Driver’s gate close before turning it forwards making his Driver’s gate spring open. [OPEN!] The eryx magic circle shot out of Dante’s Driver and moved back through him. [E-R-Y-X!] Transforming Dante into the Eryx Style. He pulled back his right fist and punched down the metal wall.

Once the wall was gone the siblings jumped into a long tunnel. The Peryton Phantom’s were hovering at the end and started to fly away when they saw the two Kamen Riders.

“Hey! Get back here!” shouted Symbol as they ran after the Peryton Phantom’s.

Right before another Phantom Shard appeared in front of them!

“Shit!” Dante pulled out Ebony and Ivory before holding down their triggers making them charge. Six rings of mana appeared in the air and three were pulled into each of the hand cannons. The first two rings to go into Ebony were blood red while the last one was ebony black. Meanwhile, the rings which were pulled into Ivory were identical to the rings pulled into Ebony only the last ring was ivory white. [EBONY AND IVORY STRIKE!] Dante let go of the triggers. “Ricoshot!” firing a pair of bullets that spiralled around each other making a cone drill effect which drove the Phantom Shard back. The attack broke through the Phantom Shard and made it explode.

Only for another Phantom Shard to come flying from behind the first one.

“Oh come on!” shouted Symbol as she hit the left Shift Lever three times. [MAGICAL TOUCH GO!] Before scanning the Burst Ring across the Wizard Driver’s Hand Author. [BURST! A RANK SPELL!] Symbol placed her left palm on the ground and a wall of rock burst from it. The Phantom Shard slammed into the wall, cracking it but destroying itself in the process.

Then the two of them saw a third Phantom Shard come shooting at them from behind the last one!

[ERYX!] “This is getting silly!” grumbled Dante. [IVORY STRIKE!] He fired a white bullet from Ivory that had a red fist construct around it. The bullet made contact with the Phantom Shard and both attacks cancelled each other out.

The two of them ran after the Peryton Phantom’s and ended up in a large chamber that had what looked like random objects held to the ceiling in an upside down pile by Phantom gunk. The floor of the sphere shaped chamber was made of glass with a single black circle shaped metal platform in the centre.

“The nest! That’s gotta be it,” Dante was about to jump down when Symbol jerked him back. “What was that for?!”

“What that is, is a trap,” pointed out Symbol dryly.

“Yeah, but what choice do we have?” demanded Dante.

Symbol sighed. “Good point.

With that the two Kamen Rider’s jumped down, aiming to land on the platform but fell just short and landed on the glass. Which instantly started to crack. “Run!” shouted Symbol as they dashed across the to the safety of the platform.

“That was close, we don’t want to stand on that for too long,” stated Dante as he watched the glass fall into the endless drop. “Why are we doing this for some crusty old Phantom?” Dante asked.

[MAGICAL TOUCH HENSHIN!] [ACTIVE PLEASE!] [LET’S GO!] “You got that right,” muttered Symbol as she transformed into the Active Style. [MAGIC TOUCHIE HENSHIN!] [ICE BIND PLEASE!] Before upgrading into the Active Ice Bind Style. [MAGIC TOUCHIE GO!] [BIND MAGIC PLEASE!] She fired a chain of orange magical energy from the Grapple Gauntlet and used it to pull the eye down into her other glove.

“Oh yeah, that’s why,” deadpanned Dante.

At that moment the Peryton Phantom arrived and engaged the siblings in combat.

[MAGIC TOUCHIE GO!] Symbol punched the Icey Bracer into the ground. [ICE MAGIC PLEASE!] Out of which burst a line of ice that transformed into several chains made of ice that stabbed into three of the Peryton Phantoms and froze them solid, making them fall onto the glass. Within seconds the glass cracked the Phantom’s fell through it into the endless drop.

[MAGICAL TOUCH HENSHIN!] Then the burst magic circle appeared behind Symbol. [BURST PLEASE!] It moved through her, transforming the Kamen Rider into the Burst Style. [CAST THE SPELL!] Symbol dodged a blast of lightning that came from one of the Peryton Phantom’s horns. [MAGICAL TOUCH GO!] [BURST! B RANK SPELL!] Water in the air froze into four mirrors of ice that spun like ninja stars. Symbol sent them flying at a Peryton Phantom and made them circles around it, cutting the Phantom and making sparks fly from its body.

Dante switched the Eryx Ring for the Angel Ring and punched it into his Driver’s left slot. [SET!] Dante turned his wrist forwards, then backwards making his Driver’s gate close before opening. [OPEN!] The angel magic circle appeared from Dante’s Driver and blocked a lightning bolt before moving back through him. [O-S-I-R-I-S!] Transforming Dante into the Angel Style. Dante drew the Osiris Scythe from his back plate. [HOOK MODE!] Transforming it into the Angel Lift and hooking it into a Peryton Phantom, pulling himself up so that he was level with it. [SCYTHE MODE!] Dante transformed the Angel Lift back into the Osiris Scythe as he punched the Angel Ring into the back of its blade. [ONE!] Which opened to reveal a single light blue circle. [ANGEL SCYTHE STRIKE!] Dante started slashing at three of the Peryton Phantoms several times with the Osiris Scythe making sparks explode from each slash.

Blue magical energy started to gather around the Osiris Scythe. [ANGEL SCYTHE STRIKE!] The energy formed into the construct of an angel wing around the scythe’s blade. Dante spun around. “Hanger!” he shouted. The Osiris Scythe was moving fast enough to make it look like Dante was surrounded by a circle of light blue light and the feathers had been discharged from the wing construct making another five circle as they followed the Osiris Scythe’s path. The weapon was moving fast enough that the Peryton Phantom’s all felt like they were being hit at the same time before they were each engulfed by an explosion.

[MAGIC TOUCHIE GO!] [DUST MAGIC PLEASE!] Symbol held up both of her gloves and fired a storm of dust from them. Five of the Peryton Phantoms were caught storm and swirled around, smashing into each other with sparks coming from their bodies as the dust hit them. To the Phantom’s it felt like they were being hit by people sized fists.

Symbol the right Shift Lever three times. [MAGIC TOUCHIE GO! VERY NICE!] Before scanning her right glove across the Wizard Driver’s Hand Author. [DUST MIRROR MAGIC! THE BEST!] The dust whirled inwards, gathering around Symbol’s right glove. “Dust Storm!” shouted Symbol as the dust was fired forwards and shifted into a spear which pierced through one of the Peryton Phantom’s before shooting outwards as the single spear transformed into four spears that shot through the other four Peryton Phantom’s making all five of them explode.

Dante was starting to get angry as he ducked to the side, avoiding a lightning bolt from a Peryton Phantom and jumped over a second lightning bolt from a second Peryton Phantom. “THIS IS GETTING STUPID!” shouted Dante as he finally snapped. [EBONY AND IVORY STRIKE!] He fired a pair of light blue bullets from Ebony and Ivory that spiralled around each other like a drill that spiralled into the air and came down on the Peryton Phantom’s making sparks explode from all three of them.

Dante pressed down on the Osiris Scythe’s trigger. [ANGEL SCYTHE STRIKE!] Light blue mana raced up the weapon’s shaft into its blade as Dante jumped into the air while spinning. “Hanger!” he shouted sending the energy from the Osiris Scythe in a spinning disk that cut through the three damaged Peryton Phantoms and made them explode.

[SET!] [OPEN!] [E-R-Y-X!] Dante transformed into the Eryx Style as he used the Eryx Gauntlets to block a lightning bolt from another Peryton Phantom and ducked under a second lightning bolt. He turned his right wrist slightly. [GRAPPLE MODE!] Transforming the Eryx Gauntlets into the Demon Pull. Which he used to pull three Peryton Phantoms down so that they were level with him. [FIST MODE!] Dante then transformed the Demon Pull back into the Eryx Gauntlets.

[ONE!] [FIST STRIKE!] Red magical energy build up around the Eryx Gauntlets as Dante pulled them back and punched each of the Peryton Phantom’s a single time making sparks explode from the impact points from not only the force of the blows but the flames were doing damage as well.

Symbol switched the Burst Ring for the Giga Ring and struck the left Shift Lever. [MAGICAL TOUCH HENSHIN!] The Wizard Driver’s Hand Author flipped to the left as Symbol scanned the Giga Ring across it. [GIGA PLEASE!] Symbol held her left glove down to the ground and the giga magic circle unfolded at her boots before rising up through her. [BREAK THROUGH!] Once the magic circle was above Symbol it blocked several lightning bolts from another Peryton Phantom. [COME ON A STAB SHAKE HANDS!] Symbol spun the Giga Spear several times as green magical energy was pulled from the air and into the weapon. [GIGA! STAB STRIKE!] She stabbed forwards. “Piercing Giga!” firing a pillar sized beam that washed over three of the Peryton Phantoms and made both all three of them explode.

Dante jumped to the side as he avoided a blast from another Peryton Phantom and held down both Ebony and Ivory’s triggers. Two rings of red mana and one ring of black mana were pulled into Ebony while two rings of red magical energy along with a single ring of white magical energy were pulled into Ivory. [EBONY AND IVORY STRIKE!] Dante let go of the triggers and fired a pair of bullets from the hand cannons that spiralled around each other, creating a drilling effect. Then the bullets both flashed red as the drill affect caught fire and barrelled into the Peryton Phantom drawing sparks from its body constantly until it exploded.

Suddenly, another bolt of lightning slammed into Dante and sent him flying back with lightning cracking over his body.

“DANTE!” shouted Symbol as she slid back from a lightning bolt.

“Keep an eye on your own fight!” he shouted back as he got back to his boots.

Symbol growled as she added the Bombardment and Terra Rings to her right glove and hit the right Shift Lever. [MAGIC TOUCHIE HENSHIN!] Symbol scanned her right glove across the Wizard Driver’s Hand Author as it flipped to the right. [BOMBARDMENT TERRA PLEASE!] The two magic circles appeared under her boots and rose up through Symbol, blocking five lightning bolts as they did so. [MAGIC TOUCHIC GO!] Blue magical energy gathered around both of the Chain Cannons as Symbol took aim. [BOMBARDMENT MAGIC PLEASE!] She fired, sending two bolts of blue magical energy at the five Peryton Phantoms. Sparks were drawn from them as the two blasts exploded with enough force to engulf all five of them.

[MAGIC TOUCHIC GO! VERY NICE!] [BOMBARDMENT TERRA MAGIC! THE BEST!] This time a lot more dark blue mana gathered around the Chain Cannons as Symbol took aim at the stunned Phantoms. “Twin Cannons!” shouted Symbol. The Peryton Phantom’s recovered just in time to get engulfed by a pair of column thick beams that made powerful explosions ripple through the area, destroying a lot of glass from the shockwave of the blast alone.

Dante jumped into the air and fired Ebony and Ivory, sparks flew from the Peryton Phantom that had fired a lightning bolt at Dante. But the bullets, for all their great numbers, were not doing much damage to the Phantom.

“Time to change it up!” shouted Dante as he switched the Eryx Ring for the Arbiter Ring and punched it into his Driver’s left slot. [SET!] Dante turned his wrist back to make his Driver’s gate close before turning it forwards, making his Driver’s gate spring back open. [OPEN!] The Arbiter magic circle appeared from Dante’s Driver and moved back through him. [A-R-B-I-T-E-R!] Transforming Dante into the Arbiter Style. [ONE!] Dante pulled the Arbiter Axe back in a two-handed grip as blood red magical energy gathered around its blade. [AXE STRIKE!] Dante swung down, firing a spinning axe construct made of the blood red magical energy that slammed into one of the Peryton Phantom’s cutting a glowing red line into it.

[GO! KICK STRIKE!] Dante pulled back his right boot as blood red magical energy was pulled from his Driver and into it. Dante took a step back as the mana roared before throwing a spin kick at the Peryton Phantom. “Flush!” shouted Dante as the energy leapt off his boot and transformed into an axe construct which spun at the Peryton Phantom. The Phantom dodged to the side only for the construct to expand outwards, sawing through the Peryton Phantom and making both halves explode.

Suddenly, Dante had to jump back as another Peryton Phantom showed up and threw a lightning bolt, blackening the floor where he had just been standing. Dante quickly pressed the Arbiter Axe’s trigger. [AXE STRIKE!] Red energy raced up the Arbiter Axe’s shaft and into the blade as Dante slashed down with it. “Flush!” he bellowed as the energy was shot off in the form of a beam, the front of the beam looked like a spinning war axe head that sawed through the Phantom. Both halves had red lightning cracking over them briefly before they exploded.

Symbol slammed her glove down on the right Shift Lever three times. [MAGIC TOUCHIC GO!] Before scanning her right glove across the Wizard Driver’s Hand Author. [BOMBARDMENT TERRA MAGIC PLEASE!] Symbol fired a blast of shotgun bullets and two orbs of blue mana at five Peryton Phantoms that she was fighting. To her shock the shotgun shells destroyed the wings of the Peryton Phantoms and made them fall down, breaking through the glass and exploding in the endless drop.

“... That’s new,” commented Symbol after a few seconds of staring. Then she was struck across the back and lightning crackled over her body. “ARGH!” shouted Symbol as the lightning ripped through her causing pain. She got off the ground and glared at the Peryton Phantom.

Which charged at her with lightning crackling across its horns.

“And so is that!” yelped Symbol as the Phantom rammed all of its antlers into her chestplate conducting lightning through her body. “ARRGH!” screamed Symbol in pain as the Phantom pulled back to charge at her again. Clearly, it was hoping to knock her over the edge.

“No you don’t!” snarled Symbol. [MAGICAL TOUCH SPELL!] [GIGA A RANK SPELL!] Her body was covered in green magical energy as the Peryton Phantom came shooting down and rammed her. She grabbed the antlers and grunted in pain from the lightning but was still able to stop the Phantom with some effort. While the Peryton Phantom struggled to free itself she closed her gloves around its antlers before with a crunch sound she tore them off making the Phantom wail in pain.

“Finale!” shouted Symbol as she hit the left Shift Lever four times. [MAGICAL TOUCH GO! VERY NICE!] Then she scanned her left glove across the Wizard Driver’s Hand Author as it flipped to the left. [GIGA! S RANK SPELL! THE BEST!] Symbol crossed her arms over her chest plate as the green magic energy around her body started to rage before uncrossing her arms. “Giga Embodiment!” she shouted as the magical energy surged outwards, turning the wings of the Peryton Phantom to ash and making it fall through the glass into the endless drop.

Dante had just been about to bring the Arbiter Axe down on the head of a Peryton Phantom whose wings he had ripped off when Symbol’s attack hit him and sent him flying over the edge. It took Dante half a second to figure out what happened. “SUNSET YOU IDIOT! YOU HIT ME AS WELL!” he yelled at his sister as he turned in the air and used another Peryton Phantom and a springboard to get back to the platform.

“Sorry!” shouted Symbol sheepishly as she used the Giga Axe to block another lightning bolt. Only to be forced to drop it as the lightning was conducted along the metal weapon towards her gloves.

Dante growled. But before he could yell at his sister any more a lightning bolt slammed into him from behind and Dante snarled in pain as he turned to a Peryton Phantom and charged both of its antlers with lightning and went shooting down towards him. [FIVE!] [AXE STRIKE!] Only for the Phantom to miss as Dante jumped into the air and came down, slamming the Arbiter Axe into the Peryton Phantom’s back. This destroyed its wings and left it grounded.

“Now then,” began Dante as he menacingly approached the Phantom. “Where were we?” the Peryton Phantom got up and charged at Dante on foot with both of its antlers charged with power. Dante dodged to the side and pressed down on the Arbiter Axe’s trigger. [AXE STRIKE!] Red energy charged up the Arbiter Axe’s shaft and formed into a super-sized axe blade construct that followed the movements of the original weapon as Dante slammed it down. “Drop!” it cut a vertical blood red line through the Peryton Phantom and made it explode.

[MAGICAL TOUCH HENSHIN!] The active magic circle appeared to Symbol’s left and she dove through it. [ACTIVE PLEASE!] Avoiding a lightning bolt. [LET’S GO!] While transforming into the Active Style. [MAGICAL TOUCH GO!] [ACTIVE! A RANK SPELL!] She covered her body in red lightning and fired a blast of the electrical energy at the Phantom. Only for it to absorb it and the lightning around its body to grow in power.

“Ok, that didn’t work,” muttered Symbol as she added the Boost and Defend Rings to her right glove while hitting the right Shift Lever. [MAGIC TOUCHIE HENSHIN!] Then Symbol scanned the two rings across the Wizard Driver’s Hand Author. [BOOST DEFEND PLEASE!] The two magic circles appeared to her right and moved through her. [MAGIC TOUCHIE GO!] Grey mana gathered around the Defend Shield. [DEFEND MAGIC PLEASE!] Symbol used it to deflect a lightning bolt but was sent staggering back from the force.

Symbol hit the right Shift Lever four times. [MAGIC TOUCHIE GO! VERY NICE!] Then she scanned her right glove across the Wizard Driver’s Hand Author. [BOOST DEFEND MAGIC! THE BEST!] Symbol pulled back the Defend Shield and threw it at the Peryton Phantom as it was charged with grey energy. “Defend Wall!” it spun like a boomerang and cut through the centre of the Peryton Phantom. Lightning sparked between the two halves as they exploded.

[SET!] The gate of Dante’s Driver closed before opening again. [OPEN!] The nephilim magic circle appeared from it and moved back through Dante as it blocked a lightning bolt. [N-E-P-H-I-L-I-M!] This transformed Dante into the Nephilim Style. He pulled the Rebellion Blade off his black plate and punched the Nephilim Ring into the back of its handle. [THREE!] The mouth sprang open to reveal three red and blue circles [NEPHILIM SABER STRIKE!] Dante swung the sword several times as it built up energy before he pressed down on its trigger. [NEPHILIM SABER STRIKE!] Dante swung three times as he flipped the Rebellion Blade into a reverse-handed grip. “Hacker!” he shouted firing three waves of energy at three Peryton Phantoms making each of them explode.

Dante saw that there was still one more left and pressed down on the Rebellion Blade’s trigger a second time. [NEPHILIM SABER STRIKE!] The eyes flashed as the Rebellion Blade’s mouth closed. Red and blue magical energy was pulled from the air and coated the blade to the point it could no longer be seen. Dante flipped the Rebellion Blade into a reverse-handed grip. “Drive!” he roared as he slashed upwards firing a crescent of red and blue energy that sliced through the air and the Peryton Phantom making it go up in an explosion.

Just when the two Kamen Riders thought their fight was over they heard the sound of thunder and looked up to see lightning clouds gathering overhead.

“How long have those clouds been there?” asked Symbol.

“About five minutes-MOVE!” both of them jumped to the side as a massive lightning bolt came shooting down and slammed into the platform, destroying it and leaving only little ledges at the edges of the room for the Kamen Rider’s to stand on before the glass was heated into metal.

From the lightning came a Phantom with pale skin, glowing golden eyes and long white hair. Golden runes were carved into its flesh and it wore a long golden loincloth with white outlines. Around each of its wrist and ankles were golden bracelets and anklets with white lightning arcing off them.

This is the Zeus Phantom.

It held up a hand and a lightning bolt shot down to form the clouds and transformed into a giant lightning spear!

“MOVE!” shouted Symbol as the Phantom swung the spear around in a circle before stabbing the spear into a wall, only avoiding Symbol by a centimetre. “That was too close,” panted Symbol.

Then the Zeus Phantom started to tear the spear through the wall towards her.

“Come on!” shouted Symbol as she started to run away before realising that she had no chance of outrunning the spear and hit the left Shift Lever twice. [MAGICAL TOUCH GO!] Symbol scanned her left glove across the Wizard Driver’s Hand Author. [ACTIVE! B RANK SPELL!] Red lightning sparked around her body as she turned around and crossed her arms letting the spear hit her.

“ARRGGH!” shouted Symbol in pain as her defence was overpowered in an instant and lightning surged through her body painfully.

“SUNSET!” shouted Dante as he jumped towards the Phantom. [ONE!] [NEPHILIM SABER STRIKE!] He pulled back the Rebellion Blade and slammed it down on the Zeus Phantom, only for a shield of clouds to appear and block the attack. Dante bounced off the barrier and was sent spinning back before crashing into a wall.

“What the-?! A cloud blocked my attack?! A CLOUD?!” demanded Dante. [SET!] The arbiter magic circle appeared from his Driver. [OPEN!] Dante jumped through it and emerged in the Arbiter Style. [A-R-B-I-T-E-R!] He pulled back the Arbiter Axe. [FIVE!] [ AXE STRIKE!] Then smashed it into the barrier as red magical energy surrounded the axe’s blade.

But it didn’t look like the Arbiter Axe was going to break through the barrier. Dante gritted in anger. “If that’s how it’s gonna be!” he pressed down on the Arbiter Axe’s trigger. [AXE STRIKE!] More red mana raced up the Arbiter Axe’s shaft and into the blade. The crimson magical energy transformed into a large axe blade construct around its metal counterpart. “Judgment!” shouted Dante as with the extra power the Arbiter Axe was able to break through the barrier.

As Dante shot towards the Zeus Phantom he punched the Arbiter Ring into a slot at the base of the Arbiter Axe’s handle. [ONE!] [AXE STRIKE!] Dante swung the Arbiter Axe, firing the red magical energy that collected around the axe’s head. The energy transformed into a spinning energy axe construct that slammed into the Zeus Phantom knocking it away from Symbol and making it stumble.

“Thanks, Dante,” thanked Symbol as she struggled to get up only for lightning to crackle across her body. “Argh!” grunted Symbol as she fell down to one knee holding her chest plate in pain.

“Stay down!” ordered Dante. “I’ll hold this thing off until you recover!” Dante did not wait for a reply as he jumped into the air and punched the Arbiter Ring into the slot at the bottom of the Arbiter Axe’s blade. [FIVE!] The blood red dice appeared and spun until it stopped on a five. [AXE STRIKE!] Dante went shooting down through the air towards the Zeus Phantom’s head.

Which held up a lightning spear to block the powerful Arbiter Axe. Dante grunted as his momentum was halted and panicked when he saw the lightning from the spear racing up through the Arbiter Axe towards his gloves. [AXE STRIKE!] Red energy surged from the Arbiter Axe’s handle and into the blade before expanding to cover Dante as the Zeus Phantom was overpowered by the meteor that Dante had become and got a long cut through its torso that bled sparks. The Zeus Phantom gave a roar of pain as it fell to one knee.

“Ha!” Dante was about to gloat when a lightning bolt appeared in the Zeus Phantom’s hand and it threw the bolt at Dante hitting him in the chest plate and sending him shooting into a wall. “ARGH!” shouted Dante in pain as he was electrocuted by the lightning. He shook it off and got back to his boots. [SET!] The eryx magic circle appeared in front of Dante, blocking a second lightning bolt. [OPEN!] Before moving back through Dante, transforming him into the Eryx Style. [E-R-Y-X!] Dante blocked another lightning bolt with the Eryx Gauntlets and ran forwards. The Zeus Phantom fired three more lightning bolts, one went straight for Dante while the other two came around in a pincer move. Dante punched the Eryx Ring into the back of the right Eryx Gauntlet. [TWO!] The flame red dice appeared and spun until it displayed a pair of blood red dots. [FIST STRIKE!] Dante pulled back his fist and slammed it into the ground, creating a wall of flame that blocked all three of the lightning bolts, letting him continue towards the Zeus Phantom.

Then Dante punched the Eryx Ring into the back of the right Eryx Gauntlet again. [THREE!] The dice quickly added a second blood red dot. [FIST STRIKE!] Dante pulled back his left fist as he slid under a lightning bolt swing from the Zeus Phantom and punched it in the chin with an uppercut, sending the Phantom shooting into the air.

But instead of falling back down the Zeus Phantom landed on a cloud and stayed there. “You have got to be kidding me!” shouted Dante in anger as he avoided several lightning bolts before realizing they had trapped him in a circle of lightning that erupted into a beam of pure electrical energy.

“DANTE!” shouted Symbol as she finished recovering, she added the Slasher and Aqua Rings to her right fingers and hit the right Shift Lever. [MAGIC TOUCHIE HENSHIN!] Symbol scanned her right glove across the Wizard Driver’s Hand Author. [SLASHER AQUA PLEASE!] The two magic circles appeared to her right and moved through her, transforming Symbol into the Active Slasher Aqua Style. Symbol hit the right Shift Lever twice. [MAGIC TOUCHIE GO!] Then she scanned her right glove again. [AQUA MAGIC PLEASE!] Water was pulled from the clouds and wrapped around the Slasher Tidal Claws as Symbol threw both of them forwards, firing six crescents of water that sliced through the air and into the Zeus Phantom making sparks fly from the contact points. The Zeus Phantom roared in pain but did not stop its attack at Dante, determined to destroy one of the Kamen Riders before moving onto the next one.

Symbol growled as she hit the right Shift Lever four times. [MAGICAL TOUCH GO! VERY NICE!] Symbol swiped her right glove across the Wizard Driver’s Hand Author, initiating her finisher. [SLASHER AQUA MAGIC THE BEST!] Symbol pulled back her Slasher Tidal Claws as water gathered in front of them in the form of three orbs. “Aqua Slash!” shouted Symbol as she threw both of the Slasher Tidal Claws forwards. The orbs were fired a turned into six claw-shaped water constructs that formed into tree crosses. They slashed into the Zeus Phantom making micro explosions go off around it and forcing it to end its attack on Dante.

Who fell to one knee in pain. “Thanks, sis,” he panted as white lightning crackled across his body.

“Rest!” ordered Symbol. “I’ll hold him off!” [MAGICAL TOUCH HENSHIN!] [SWIFT PLEASE!] [DASH AWAY!] She jumped into the air and through the swift magic circle, emerging in the Swift Style. The Zeus Phantom made another spear of lightning appear in its hand and thrust it at Symbol as she pressed the left Shift Lever twice. [MAGICAL TOUCH GO!] After which she scanned the Swift Ring across the Wizard Driver’s Hand Author. [SWIFT! B RANK SPELL!] Symbol was covered in yellow mana as she blurred away from the attack and rocketed towards the Phantom at high speed, slashing it several times with the Swift Dagger and easily avoiding its retaliation slashes.

Symbol pulled open the Swift Dagger’s Hand Author. [COME ON A HIT SHAKE HANDS!] She ducked under another slash as she shook hands with the Swift Dagger. [SWIFT! STAB STRIKE!] Yellow magical energy blazed around the dagger as Symbol unleashed a barrage of lightning-fast stabs. “Barrage of Stabs!” Symbol’s arm was nothing but a blur as a storm of sparks exploded from the Phantom.

Which roared in pain as it let loose a blast of lightning from its body which forced Symbol back. “Ok, ow!” muttered Symbol as bolts of white lightning danced over her body. She added the Swift and Sniper Rings to her right glove before smashing down on the right Shift Lever. [MAGIC TOUCHIE HENSHIN!] The Wizard Driver’s Hand Author flipped to the right and Symbol scanned her right glove across it. [WING SNIPER PLEASE!] The wing and sniper magic circles appeared over her helmet and fell through Symbol, transforming her into the Swift Wing Sniper Style. Symbol pressed the right Shift Lever once more as she flew at the Zeus Phantom. [MAGIC TOUCHIE GO!] Symbol rolled in the air, avoiding a lightning bolt as she scanned her right glove. [WING MAGIC PLEASE!] Both of Symbol’s Flight Wings were covered in silver light as she used one of them to cut through the Zeus Phantom’s arm as it pulled back a lightning spear.

The Zeus Phantom roared in pain as Symbol twisted so that she landed on the other side of the room, feet first. Symbol hit the right Shift Lever four times. [MAGIC TOUCHIE GO! VERY NICE!] She pushed off the wall and flew towards the Zeus Phantom as she scanned her right glove across the Wizard Driver’s Hand Author. [WING SNIPER MAGIC! THE BEST!] Both of her wings were covering in roaring silver mana. “Wing Cutter!” shouted Symbol as she spun around and fired a spinning crescent from her Flight Wings that cut into the Zeus Phantom’s back repeatedly drawing sparks from it.

The Phantom let out of a burst of lightning from its body that cancelled out Symbol’s attack. “So it can stop repeat damaging attacks with that lightning burst?” questioned Symbol. “Then we’re better of using single attacks” Symbol shouted to a recovered Dante.

“Got it!” replied Dante as he switched the Eryx Ring for the Nephilim Ring and punched it into his Driver’s left slot. [SET!] Dante turned his wrist back and then forwards to making his Driver’s gate close before opening again. [OPEN!] Dante ran through the nephilim magic circle as it appeared from his Driver, transforming him into the Nephilim Style. [N-E-P-H-I-L-I-M!] Dante pulled the Rebellion Blade off his back plate and punched the Nephilim Ring into the slot at the bottom of its handle. [ONE!] Red and blue energy ran from the skull down the sharp part of the Rebellion Blade. [NEPHILIM SABER STRIKE!] Dante took up a stance. [NEPHILIM SABER STRIKE!] The energy around the Rebellion Blade grew in power as Dante pulled the sword through the ground and slashed upwards firing a blade of red and blue energy through the ground that slammed into the Zeus Phantom and exploded.

The Zeus Phantom roared as it spun around, unleashing a circle of lightning that slammed into both Dante and Symbol, sending the both of them flying backwards. [MAGIC TOUCHIE GO!] Symbol snarled as the Sniper Shooter appeared in her left glove. [SNIPER MAGIC PLEASE!] Without any pause, Symbol took aim and fired a glowing blue energy round that slammed into the Zeus Phantom and exploded, making the Phantom roar in pain as it turned around and fired an energy bolt at Symbol, forcing her to take to the sky to avoid it.

[MAGIC TOUCHIE GO! VERY NICE!] [WING SNIPER MAGIC! THE BEST!] Symbol hovered in the air as blue magical energy ran down the length of the Sniper Shooter and gathered in an orb at the tip. “Sniper Sun!” shouted Symbol as she fired a ball of glowing blue energy that transformed into a beam of feathers. They smashed into the Phantom and ignited a giant explosion across the Zeus Phantom’s back.

The Zeus Phantom bellowed as it sent out another bolt of lightning at Symbol, forcing her to dodge. Dante punched the Nephilim Ring into the base of the Rebellion Blade. [SIX!] The mouth opened reveal six red and blue dots. [NEPHILIM SABER STRIKE!] Dante jumped into the air and stabbed the Zeus Phantom so fast that it looked like he had twenty blades and arms.

The Zeus Phantom roared as it brought its fist down on Dante, but he used the Rebellion Blade to block the attack as he pressed the trigger once. [NEPHILIM SABER STRIKE!] Red and blue magical energy ran from his Driver and into the Rebellion Blade as Dante forced the Phantom’s fist off him and leapt at the Zeus Phantom's face. “Trillion Stabs!” bellowed Dante as he stabbed the Phantom in the face over a hundred times in less than a second. Each stab detonated an explosion across the Phantom making it howl in pain from the damage.

The Zeus Phantom roared as it was surrounded in a barrier of clouds, blocking the attacks of the two Kamen Riders. Symbol turned to her brother. “I’ll break the barrier! You go in after me!” she shouted.

“Got it!” shouted Dante.

[MAGICAL TOUCH HENSHIN!] The giga magic circle appeared under Symbol’s boots and rose up through her. [GIGA PLEASE!] Transforming Symbol into the Giga Style. [BREAK THROUGH!] Symbol then added the Hammer and Quake Rings to her right glove and hit the right Shift Lever. [MAGIC TOUCHIE HENSHIN!] Then she scanned her right glove across the Wizard Driver’s Hand Author. [HAMMER QUAKE PLEASE!] The two magical circles appeared under Symbol’s boots and rose up through her. [MAGIC TOUCHIC GO!] Symbol pulled back the Piston Hammer and charged. [HAMMER MAGIC PLEASE!] She slammed the Piston Hammer down as its pistons fired, putting several cracks in the cloud barrier.

Dante saw this as he punched the Nephilim Ring into the slot at the base of the Rebellion Blade. [FIVE!] The mouth opened to show five red and blue circles. [NEPHILIM SABER STRIKE!] Dante ran forwards and stabbed the Rebellion Blade into the cloud barrier, causing it to shatter as he raced towards the startled Zeus Phantom.

[NEPHILIM SABER STRIKE!] Red and blue energy raced through the Rebellion Blade, transforming Dante into a comet of red and blue magical energy as he roared towards the Zeus Phantom. “Stinger!” shouted Dante as he pressed the tip of the Rebellion Blade into the Phantom’s skin drawing sparks.

The Zeus Phantom roared as it swatted at Dante, only for him to use the Phantom’s chest as a springboard to jump back. [GO! KICK STRIKE!] Red and blue magical energy ran from Dante’s Driver and into his boot as he went shooting down. “Stinger!” he kicked the Zeus Phantom in the chest making sparks explode from it as the Phantom roared in pain.

Dante jumped back and landed beside Symbol. “Let’s finish it off!” he shouted to his sister over the roar of the lightning as the Zeus Phantom got ready to send one last big attack at them.

“Preferable before it does whatever that big attack is,” Symbol point out nervously as the Phantom continued to charge its attack.

“Right!” added Dante.

[MAGICAL TOUCH HENSHIN!] [SWIFT PLEASE!] [DASH AWAY!] She transformed into the Swift Style. [MAGIC TOUCHIE HENSHIN!] [WING SNIPER PLEASE!] Then into the Swift Wing Sniper Style. Symbol hit the right Shift Lever three times. [MAGIC TOUCHIE GO!] Then she scanned her right glove across the Wizard Driver’s Hand Author. [WING SNIPER MAGIC PLEASE!] Symbol spread the Flight Wings and gave them a big flap, firing several feathers that transformed into blue and silver energy beams, making sparks come from the Zeus Phantom, which did not defend in favour of continuing to charge its attack.

Dante punched the Nephilim Ring into his Driver’s left slot. [GO! KICK STRIKE!] Red and blue energy started to gather around his right boot before becoming a raging storm of energy. At the same Symbol slammed her glove down on the right Shift Lever four times. [MAGIC TOUCHIE GO! VERY NICE!] Then she scanned the Wing and Sniper Rings across the Wizard Driver’s Hand Author. [WING SNIPER MAGIC! THE BEST!] Symbol and Dante jumped into the air. Dante came down with the energy around his right boot forming into a Rebellion Blade construct. Symbol flipped in the air and shot down with both of her boots covered in silver and blue energy. “Falling Saber!” shouted both Kamen Rider’s as their boots made contact with the Zeus Phantom’s chest and blew a hole through the Phantom.

Both of the Kamen Rider’s landed behind the Zeus Phantom as it cried out in pain from the silver, blue and red lightning sparking from its body and exploded.

“That was a cracking good fight,” stated Dante.

“No, just no,” replied Symbol. Then she winced. “Why did I suddenly see a blond haired girl and a white-haired girl when I said that?” she muttered under her breath.

“Now how do we get back?” asked Dante, not having heard what his sister said.

[MAGICAL TOUCH HENSHIN!] [ACTIVE PLEASE!] [LET’S GO!] “My guess?” replied Symbol. [MAGIC TOUCHIE HENSHIN!] [BOOST DEFEND PLEASE!] “The same way we got in,” she stated. [MAGIC TOUCHIE GO!] [BOOST MAGIC PLEASE!] Purple magical energy ran into the Boost Grieves as she bent down and jumped through the hole the two of them had entered the chamber through.

Knowing that Dante would be right behind her, Symbol ran down the corridor and took a right turn at the end of it that she knew led to the stairs. All of a sudden a Phantom Shard appeared in front of her and started to spin. “You cannot be serious!” before she had a chance to react the shard slammed into her. “ARGH!” sparks flew from her armour as the Phantom Shard exploded.

Dante had just taken the left turn when he heard the explosion and saw his sister flying towards him. Dante dove to the side as Symbol went flying past. He winced as she slammed into the wall on the opposite side of the corridor and caused it to crack. “You ok?” he asked her.

“Yeah,” grumbled Symbol as she got back to her boots. “Be careful! The traps have reset!” she warned her brother.

“Noted,” replied Dante as he ran up the stairs and took a right turn. He braced for a Phantom shard but was confused when none appeared. “Huh?” he ran up and around the third corner, back into the train platform. “Well, look at that,” he muttered.

“Oh come on!” shouted Symbol. “You mean I got hit by the only trap that reset?!” she demanded.

“Looks that way,” replied Dante.

Symbol grumbled under her breath as the Phantom’s arrived and the barriers sprung up. “Thank you for being my venting tool!” she thanked the Phantoms.

Dante charged forwards with the Rebellion Blade. He punched the Nephilim Ring into the bottom of the Rebellion Blade’s handle. [TWO!] The mouth opened to show a pair of red and blue dots. [NEPHILIM SABER STRIKE!] Dante spun around several times slashing three Blade Phantoms and ending on a single strong downwards slash that badly damaged one of them.

Dante was forced to jump back as the Phantom’s recovered and slashed at him. [THREE!] The twin red and blue dots were joined by a third red and blue dot. [NEPHILIM SABER STRIKE!] Dante ran forwards. [NEPHILIM SABER STRIKE!] He slashed each of the Blade Phantom’s a single time. “Hacker!” he shouted as they fell to their knees and were each consumed by an explosion.

Dante jumped back as a Rage Phantom jumped from the ground and a Death Knight Phantom pulled itself up from the ground. Dante was about to switch the Nephilim Ring for the Arbiter Ring but was forced to jump back from the Rage Phantom as it lunged at him with both of its claws on fire. “GAH!” while Dante’s attention was on the Rage Phantom, the Death Knight Phantom slashed him across the chest plate making sparks exploded from it. “This is getting annoying” snarled Dante as he jumped into the air punching the Nephilim Ring into the back of Ebony’s hammer. [NEPHILIM!] Three rings of mana were pulled into the hand cannon, moving away from the barrel they were black, red and blue in that order. [EBONY STRIKE!] Dante took aim and pulled the hand cannon’s trigger. “Black Spreader!” he shouted as Ebony fired a wide spread of beams. Sparks flew from the Rage Phantom’s back as it was stunned while the Death Knight Phantom used its shield to block the attack.

[SET!] [OPEN!] [A-R-B-I-T-E-R!] But this had given Dante the time he needed. Now in the Arbiter Style he that the Rage Phantom was still the bigger threat, it was fast and agile, the Death Knight Phantom was none of this. Dante punched the Arbiter Ring into the slot at the bottom of the Arbiter Axe’s handle. [TWO!] The flame red dice appeared and spun until it stopped on a pair of blood red dots. [AXE STRIKE!] Dante pulled back the Arbiter Axe and slammed it into the ground. Two lines of blood red magical energy travelled from it and to the Rage Phantom before throwing it into the air.

Dante was just about to transform into the Angel Style and follow it when a demonic train came screaming overhead and rammed into the Rage Phantom, resulting in it exploding.

Dante blinked for several seconds. “Didn’t see that coming. I should have but I didn’t,” he blocked a slash from the Death Knight Phantom. [FOUR!] Red magical energy gathered around the Arbiter Axe as Dante parried a second swing. [AXE STRIKE!] Dante kicked the Death Knight Phantom back and slammed the Arbiter Axe down onto its shield. The axe unleashed a trio of blood red energy pulses that caused the shield to crack and shatter seconds later.

[AXE STRIKE!] Red mana raced up the Arbiter Axe’s shafted and into the blade as Dante pulled it back and slammed the axe into the Death Knight Phantom's sword. “Trinity Smash!” he shouted as the Arbiter Axe unleashed nine pulses of red energy that make sparks explode from the Death Knight Phantom as it was sent flying back and exploded.

Suddenly, a Ravager Phantom charged at Dante from behind, it had pulled itself from the ground while he was dealing with the last two Phantoms, it sliced into his backplate with its chainsaw, making a spray of sparks. “ARGH!” shouted Dante as he rolled away from the Phantom in pain. “Your gonna pay for that!” he snarled angrily. [SET!] The angel magic circle appeared in front of Dante. [OPEN!] It moved back through him, transforming Dante into the Angel Style. [O-S-I-R-I-S!] He drew the Osiris Scythe and leapt at the Phantom. [TWO!] [ANGEL SCYTHE STRIKE!] Dante started spinning the Osiris Scythe like a vertical propeller, cutting into the Phantom repeatedly making sparks explode from its body. The Ravager Phantom quickly recovered and block with its chainsaw but was still nicked by every other spin.

Suddenly, the Ravager Phantom had enough a let out a burst of flame, forcing Dante to back off as it swiped at him. Dante ducked under the horizontal slash and got behind the Phantom. He punched the Angel Ring into his Driver’s left slot. [KICK STRIKE GO!] He took a stance as light blue wind wrapped around his right boot. “Prop!” Dante kicked the Ravager Phantom, sending it shooting into the air. He kicked the ground and went shooting up past the Ravager Phantom. “Shr- what the!?” a demonic train slammed into Dante from behind, making sparks come from his backplate as he fell back to the ground, the light blue wind around him vanishing.

“Ok, ow!” hissed Dante as he got back to his boots. “I forgot about that thing!” he muttered as he jumped back from a charging Ravager Phantom and dived to the side as it went past him. [SIX!] The Osiris Scythe flash with the light blue wind. [ANGEL SCYTHE STRIKE!] Dante ran forwards and speared the Ravager Phantom with the Osiris Scythe making sparks explode from its body when the blade of the Osiris Scythe made contact with the Ravager Phantom.

The Ravager Phantom gave a loud roar as it set itself on fire and swung its chainsaw at Dante’s helmet. [KICK STRIKE GO!] Dante jumped back and then jumped forwards as the light blue wind covered his right boot. “Streak!” Dante went into a flying kick as he slammed his boot into the Ravager Phantom’s chainsaw when it used the weapon to block. The Ravager Phantom’s chainsaw cracked down the middle before shattering into fragments.

[SET!] [OPEN!] [E-R-Y-X!] Dante transformed into the Eryx Style as he punched the Eryx Ring into the back of the right Eryx Gauntlet. [ONE!] The blood red dice appeared above it a spun around before stopping on a single flame red dot. [FIST STRIKE!] Dante pulled his fists back as he pressed the trigger inside the left Eryx Gauntlet. [FIST STRIKE!] The red energy came off the Eryx Gauntlets and formed into constructs of Eryx Gauntlets as Dante pulled them back. “Brawler!” he punched the Ravager Phantom three times with the constructs following the movements of the original. After the third double punch, the Ravager Phantom exploded.

“WOAH!” shouted Dante as he dodged away from a pair of Rage Phantom’s and jumped into the air to avoid the quills that they fired at him. [SET!] The nephilim magic circle appeared from Dante’s Driver. [OPEN!] It moved back through him, transforming Dante into the Nephilim Style. [N-E-P-H-I-L-I-M!] He drew Ebony and Ivory before opening fire on the Phantom’s making sparks fly from their bodies before both of the Rage Phantom’s curled into balls and charged at him. Dante punched the Nephilim Ring into the back of the Ebony hand cannon. [NEPHILIM!] Three rings of magical energy were pulled into the gun. They were coloured red, blue and white respectively. [IVORY STRIKE!] Dante took aim and pulled the trigger. “Ivory Power Beam!” he shouted a beam of white magical energy emerged from the gun and slammed into the one of the Ravage Phantom’s forcing it back. Dante would have kept up the beam until the Phantom was destroyed, but he had to cut it off and dodge to the side to avoid the other Rage Phantom.

“This is bad,” muttered Dante as he realised that he now had a Rage Phantom on either side of him. If he attacked one, the other would come up behind him and attack. Then he saw the lights on the tunnel exits turn red. “That gives me an idea!” he ran towards one of the Rage Phantom’s and jumped over several quills. [ONE!] Before the Rebellion Blade’s mouth opened to reveal a single red and blue circle. [NEPHILIM SABER STRIKE!] Dante ducked under a flaming claw, getting inside the Rage Phantom’s guard and slashing upwards to send the Phantom flying into the air. Dante spun around and weaved around the spinning Rage Phantom that had been aimed at his back before it had a chance to recover he slashed upwards, sending the Rage phantom into the air and both of them were reduced to paste by the demonic train. “Ha it worked!” shouted Dante.

[MAGIC TOUCHIE GO! VERY NICE!] [BOOST DEFEND MAGIC! THE BEST!] Symbol jumped into the air as a grey magic energy shield construct covered her boots. She came shooting back down. “Falling Kick!” slamming the construct down and using it to flatten a trio of Blade Phantoms all of which then exploded.

“No you don’t!” shouted Symbol as she was forced to jump back and avoid a Ravager Phantom as it slashed at her with its chainsaw. She switched the Active Ring for the Burst Ring and pressed the left Shift Lever. [MAGICAL TOUCH HENSHIN!] Symbol ducked under another swing as she scanned the Burst Ring across the Wizard Driver’s Hand Author. [BURST PLEASE!] Symbol breathed a sigh of relief as the burst magic circle moved through her and knocked the Ravager Phantom back. [CAST THE SPELL!] Now in the Burst Style she jumped over the Ravager Phantom as it came charging at her and used it as the boost platform. [MAGICAL TOUCH GO!] Four fireballs appeared around Symbol. [BURST! C RANK SPELL!] She pointed at the Ravager Phantom and they went flying forwards and exploded in its face.

The Ravager Phantom gave a pained roar as it set itself on fire and charged at Symbol. [MAGICAL TOUCH GO!] [BURST! B RANK SPELL!] She pointed a finger at it and the water in the air transformed into four ice shuriken's that flew forwards and surrounded the Phantom cutting into it and drawing sparks before they were melted by the amount of heat from the flames.

[MAGIC TOUCHIE HENSHIN!] “That didn’t work as well as I thought it was going to,” commented Symbol as the two magic circles appeared behind her and moved through her. [DUST MIRROR PLEASE!] Transforming Symbol into the Burst Style. [MAGIC TOUCHIE GO!] [MIRROR MAGIC PLEASE!] She held up a glove and a mirror wall appeared in front of the Ravager Phantom as its reflection charged out to meet it. The two of them clashed and the copy was able to damage the original before it was overpowered and shattered.

But the reflection had done what was needed. Symbol hit the right Shift Lever four times. [MAGIC TOUCHIE GO! VERY NICE!] The Wizard Driver’s Hand Author flipped to the left, then back to the right as Symbol aligned her right glove with it. [DUST MIRROR MAGIC! THE BEST!] Another mirror appeared in front of the Ravager Phantom and fired a blast of silver light. The front of the blast turned into the silhouette of the Ravager Phantom as it made contact with the Phantom and caused a powerful explosion to ripple across the area as the Ravager Phantom died.

Symbol was about to see how Dante was doing when a Rage Phantom burst out of the ground and roar at her. [MAGIC TOUCHIE GO!] It set both of its front claws on fire and lunged at Symbol. [DUST MIRROR MAGIC PLEASE!] Only for a pair of mirrors to appear on either side of Symbol and block the attack before the Kamen Rider fired a blast of dust that surrounded the Ravager Phantom in a sphere, giving her some time to come up with a counter.

[MAGICAL TOUCH HENSHIN!] “This should work,” muttered Symbol. [SWIFT PLEASE!] The swift magic circle appeared over her helmet and fell through her. [DASH AWAY!] Transforming Symbol into the Swift Style. [MAGICAL TOUCH GO!] [SWIFT! C RANK SPELL!] Five orbs of yellow magical energy appeared around Symbol as she pointed at the Rage Phantom. “Go!” she order and they shot forward, slamming into the Rage Phantom and exploding with a loud bang, making sparks come from its body and micro explosion go off around it.

The Rage Phantom gave a loud snarl of rage as it vanished in a blur. “You think you can outrun me in this style?!” shouted Symbol as she pressed the left Shift Lever twice. [MAGICAL TOUCH GO!] Before scanning the Swift Ring across the Wizard Driver’s Hand Author. [SWIFT! B RANK SPELL!] Symbol’s body flashed with yellow magical energy as she vanished in a blur. The two blurs clashed over a dozen times in the next five seconds before the Rage Phantom was smashed into a wall. Symbol appeared and kicked it into the air where it was smashed into paste by another demonic train.

“That’s going to be handy,” commented Symbol right before she heard the familiar roar of a Tyrant Phantom. “I was wondering when one of you was going to show up,” she commented. [MAGICAL TOUCH HENSHIN!] [GIGA PLEASE!] [BREAK THROUGH!] Symbol transformed into the Giga Style and grabbed the Giga Axe as it appeared in her glove. The Tyrant Phantom set its fists on fire and charged at Symbol as she pressed the left Shift Lever once. [MAGICAL TOUCH SPELL!] Then swiped the Giga Ring across the Wizard Driver’s Hand Author. [GIGA C RANK SPELL!] Symbol’s right fist was covered in dim green energy as she pulled it back and slammed it into the fist that the Tyrant Phantom threw forwards. The two attacks met and cancelled each other out as the Phantom staggered back while Symbol slid back.

[COME ON A SMASH SHAKE HANDS!] Symbol charged power into the Giga Axe. [GIGA SMASH STRIKE!] Before swinging it around in a horizontal arc. “Giga Strike!” shouted Symbol as the Giga Axe formed a crescent of green energy that ignited an explosion across the Tyrant Phantom as it made contact.

“That wasn’t enough!” shouted Symbol. [MAGIC TOUCHIE HENSHIN!] [PUNCH DRILL PLEASE!] She transformed into the Giga Punch Drill Style and ran towards the Tyrant Phantom as it got back up again. She hit the right Shift Lever a single time. [MAGIC TOUCHIC GO!] Then scanned her right glove across the Wizard Driver’s Hand Author. [PUNCH MAGIC PLEASE!] Symbol set both of her fists on fire and punched the Tyrant Phantom in the chest, then uppercutted it in the face before ending on a twin punch to the head.

[MAGIC TOUCHIC GO!] While the Tyrant Phantom was recovering Symbol punched the ground. [DRILL MAGIC PLEASE!] Out of which burst a wall of drills that charged at the Phantom and drilled into its body painfully. At that moment more drills came from the ground and locked around the Tyrant Phantom in such a way that it could not move an inch.

[MAGIC TOUCHIE HENSHIN!] [HAMMER QUAKE PLEASE!] Symbol transformed into the Giga Hammer Quake Style and grabbed the Piston Hammer as it fell out of the air and into her glove. Symbol ran forwards as she struck the right Shift Lever once. [MAGIC TOUCHIC GO!] Before she scanned the Hammer Ring across the Wizard Driver’s Hand Author. [HAMMER MAGIC PLEASE!] The pistons on the Piston Hammer pulled back as Symbol swung it at the Phantom’s head after jumping off the drills. At the last second, the pistons fired and the Tyrant Phantom was forced through the drills and crashed into a wall on the other side of the platform.

[MAGIC TOUCHIC GO!] Symbol pulled back the Piston Hammer. [QUAKE MAGIC PLEASE!] Before slamming it into the ground, out of which came a wave of orange energy that smashed into the Tyrant Phantom and threw it into the air where it was helpless. The Phantom had been unable to dodge as it was still recovering from being thrown into a wall so hard.

[MAGIC TOUCHIC GO! VERY NICE!] [HAMMER QUAKE MAGIC! THE BEST!] Orange magical energy gathered around the Piston Hammer as Symbol raised it up. “Rock Shockwave!” shouted Symbol as she slammed the Piston Hammer into the ground. Rocks were pulled from the metal floor by orange magic energy and as Symbol pointed the Piston Hammer at the Tyrant Phantom they went shooting towards it and formed a sphere around the Phantom that started to compress.

“This is getting stupid!” snarled Symbol as the rock sphere burst into flames and the Tyrant Phantom broke out. [MAGIC TOUCHIC GO!] Then she got an idea. [QUAKE MAGIC PLEASE!] Symbol pulled back the Piston Hammer and slammed it into the ground as the Tyrant Phantom charged once more. The Tyrant Phantom was thrown forwards and into the air as it hit the energy wave.

It failed around right before crashing into another demonic train and exploding.

“Let’s get going,” ordered Dante as he ran up to his sister. He jumped up and into the tunnel. [SET!] [OPEN!] [O-S-I-R-I-S!] Dante transformed into the Angel Style as he reached the first gap. [HOOK MODE!] He hooked the Angel Lift onto a rock and pulled himself halfway across the gap. [KICK STRIKE GO!] Before using the Angel Boost to get the rest of the way.

Just before they reached the next gap a pair of Blade Phantom’s burst from the ground. [SCYTHE MODE!] Dante transformed the Angel Lift back into the Osiris Scythe. [SIX!] [ANGEL SCYTHE STRIKE!] Then ran forwards and used the Osiris Scythe to knock one of the Blade Phantom’s into the endless drop.

[MAGIC TOUCHIE GO! VERY NICE!] [WING SNIPER MAGIC! THE BEST!] The other was also knocked into the endless drop by a silver and blue flying kick from Symbol. [MAGIC TOUCHIE GO!] [WING MAGIC PLEASE!] She gave the Flight Wings a large flap and jumped over the gap with Dante following her.

The two of them were just about to jump the third gap when a pair of Phantom Shards materialized on the other side. [MAGIC TOUCHIE GO!] [WING SNIPER MAGIC PLEASE!] Symbol gave the Flight Wings a large flap and fired several feathers that transformed into a dozen blue beams of blue magical energy destroying one of the Phantom Shards in a shower of sparks.

[EBONY AND IVORY STRIKE!] Dante fired a white bullet that was going blue from Ivory and a black bullet that was glowing blue from Ebony. They spiralled around each other creating a black, blue and white drill effect as they shot into the air and came back down destroying the second Phantom Shard.

[KICK STRIKE GO!] Dante boosted over the gap and landed on the other side with Symbol following him. Dante took a right turn and then left as they landed back on the ledge with the old man.

“Who’s there?!” he demanded holding his stick threateningly.

“It is eye,” punned Dante and got punched by his sister for the lame pun.

“The eye? You have it? Have you?” demanded the man with hope in his voice.

Dante wordlessly handed it to the man and he slotted it onto his face. After adjusting it he gasped. “I can see! I can see!” he turned to Dante and Symbol his face then showed shock. “Dante and Sunset,” it was a statement of their identities, not a question.

“You know us?” asked the Dante.

“No, I knew your father, Sparda. I can see him in both of you.”

“Sparda was a Phantom, we’re nothing like him,” stated Dante only to get punched by Symbol. “OW! Will you stop that?!”

“Not until you stop disrespecting the dead! Mother and Father gave their lives so that we could live on! Isn’t that worth overlooking the fact that one of them was a Phantom?!” demanded Symbol

The siblings glared at each other before Dante back down. “Your right, sorry.”

“He’s actually part right. You are Kamen Rider’s. I can see that too,” added the man.

“Not helping!” hissed Symbol. “Also that last part was kind of obvious!” she stated sarcastically.

“What are you?” asked Dante, a bit disturbed by a Phantom that acted as if he could see things they could not.

Then again so could Kate.

“Phineas, scholar, inventor, prophet,” came the reply as the man reached out his hand to shake which Symbol did so.

Dante did not.

“Phantom,” Dante quickly added. “Not that there's anything wrong with that since you are not trying to kill us.”

“And until the two of you arrived, a political prisoner of Wiseman. I am grateful,” Phineas thanked the Kamen Riders

“We did it because it was the right thing,” replied Symbol.

“And because you said that you’d take us to the tower in return,” Dante rudely cut off his sister.

“Of course, my friends. Of course,” replied Phineas. “This way,” he walked past the two of them.
> S1E10 Upgrade Inside
> --------------------------------------------------------------------------

Kamen Rider Dante and his sister Ruby Shimmer also known as Kamen Rider Symbol walked alongside the Phantom who called himself Phineas as Bob Barbas continued to blabber on about Wiseman.

“So you were blinded and imprisoned here?” asked Symbol.

“Yes,” replied Phineas.

“For how long?” asked Dante.

“Hundreds of years,” replied Phineas.

They were on the broken part of the bridge that the train had broken when it came speeding through.

“You sure you know your way around?” asked Dante.

“Like the back of my hand,” replied the Phantom in question.

“Watch out!” shouted Symbol as she and her brother pulled Phineas back.

He had been about to walk over the edge of the destroyed bridge.

“Are you nuts?!” demanded Dante.

Phineas looked at them both in confusion for several seconds before realizing something. “I forget,” he began.

“That’s comforting,” snarked Dante.

“I’m starting to think this was a bad idea,” muttered Symbol.

“You and I see things differently,” finished Phineas. He turned to look at the tower. “Seeing things differently can open new paths.”

“Huh?!” demanded Symbol after several seconds of silence.

“What do you mean?” asked Dante.

“You,” Phineas looked at Dante. “Only see evil in me because I am a Phantom. At least she,” Phineas looked at Symbol. “Is trying to see past that. Try opening your mind. It’s all a matter of perspective,” he explained as reached up and turned a dial on his eye. It shot out a beam of green energy that looked to turn back time. The bridge repaired itself as the train flew back into place.

“Wow! You can turn back time?!” demanded Symbol.

“No,” replied Phineas. “Any Phantom and manipulate the Slip Dimension to a degree. This far away from the Phantom that created it, I have near complete control. But the closer I get to him the less control I will have over the Slip Dimension and you will have to make the rest of the way on your own after that point.”

“Just get us as close as you can,” ordered Dante. “We’ll make the rest of the way on our own.”

“As I said, I see things differently. We’ll meet up ahead and take a slight detour. I have something to show you,” with that he vanished into thin air.

“What do you think he wants to show us?” asked Symbol.

“I don’t know, but it had better be worth our time,” replied Dante as they ran down the bridge. They reached the end of the bridge, but the way into the building was blocked by a brick wall that was blocked with a crisscrossing red energy barrier. [SET!] [OPEN!] [A-R-B-I-T-E-R!] Dante transformed into the Arbiter Style and used the Arbiter Axe to smash the wall down.

“Do not question authority. Especially my authority,” Bob continued to blabber on.

The two of them ran through the building while ignoring him and arrived at an opening in the side of the building while Phineas appeared.

Floating in the void of the Slip Dimension was a statue of a Kamen Rider in a black suit, with green armour, a silver helmet with two circle-shaped red visors of eyes, silver gloves, black boots and a red scarf.

“His name was Ichigo. An ancient one,” explained Phineas as he looked at the statue sadly. “A Kamen Rider like the two of you.”

“I thought we were the first!” exclaimed Symbol.

“We didn’t know there were other’s,” added Dante.

“The Kamen Rider’s were the third race. Sadly they were hunted down and slain when the Phantoms and Gem Maidens joined forces,” Phineas explained the horrific fate of the Kamen Rider race.

“Why?” asked Dante.

“I thought the two hated each other and would never team up,” added Symbol.

“If the two races thought each other were crimes against nature then the Kamen Riders were abominations as far as they were concerned,” replied Phineas. “The Kamen Rider’s inherited the one thing made both species such a big threat. Not their strength, speed or power, but their ability to adapt and for a Kamen Rider it was supercharged.”

“Which made them a threat,” stated Symbol.

“Like us,” added Dante.

“And like you, they held great potential. What a waste,” mocked Phineas.

“Why you-!” shouted Dante.

“What is that supposed to mean?!” demanded Symbol.

“I saw the fight with the Succubus Phantom. That creature was a female with Phantom powers making her incredible weak and low on the Phantom chain of command. If she had been a Gem Maiden then she would have been extremely powerful. But you barely survived. Bob is a male and high up on the Phantom chain of command. At your current strength, you have no hope of beating him. Surely you have noticed the Phantom’s under Bob’s command are much stronger than the ones that were guarding the Succubus?”

Dante and Symbol had nothing to say to that.

“You want to reach your full potential?” asked Phineas. “Maybe Ichigo holds the key,” with that he vanished.

Dante looked at Symbol. “What do you think?” he asked.

“It's unlikely that he would try to kill us after we did him that favour and he did have a point. We barely won against the Succubus Phantom. Let’s trust Phineas for now,” she suggested.

“Well you are better at reading people than I am,” admitted Dante. [SET!] [OPEN!] [O-S-I-R-I-S!] He transformed into the Angel Style. [KICK STRIKE GO!] Then Angel Boost to a piece of rubble that was floating in the void and was clearly a piece of the statue that had floated away when it had been broken into pieces. He jumped down to a second piece, across and down to a third piece and then over to a four piece of rubble, which he only just reached before jumping to the statue’s hand.

Symbol landed behind Dante as a new Phantom appeared. It had blue skin and wore a robe along with a pointed hat and a long wooden staff. Around it was a bright blue force field for protection.

This is a Wizard Phantom.

“Why do I feel insulted by that thing for some reason?” asked Symbol as she tilted her helmet to the side.

“Not sure, but I feel equally insulted,” added Dante. “Let’s fight!”

“Agreed! It’s blue so Swift, Angel and some Burst attacks should work on it!” Symbol pointed out. She was already in Swift Wing Sniper Style so she pressed the right Shift Lever once. [MAGIC TOUCHIE GO!] Before scanning her right glove across the Wizard Driver’s Hand Author. [WING MAGIC PLEASE!] Symbol flapped the Flight Wings and took to the air, circling around the Wizard Phantom. The Flight Wings were covered in silver light as Symbol dove towards the Phantom. Only for a red spear to appear above its shield and start spinning before firing itself at Symbol. “Woah!” Symbol was forced to change course and call off her attack to avoid the spear.

Dante punched the Angel Ring into the back of the Osiris Scythe. [ONE!] The blade of which opened to reveal a single light blue dot. [ANGEL SCYTHE STRIKE!] Dante spun around. [ANGEL SCYTHE STRIKE!] Light blue magical energy gathered around the Osiris Scythe as Dante spun fast enough to look like nothing but a blur as the scythe shifted into a circle of light. “Karma!” shouted Dante as he sent the circle of light shooting at the Wizard Phantom. The attack started to grind away at its shield before the defence in question exploded, cancelling out the attack but leaving the Wizard Phantom with no form of defence.

Something that neither Kamen Rider hesitated to take advantage of.

[MAGIC TOUCHIE GO!] [SNIPER MAGIC PLEASE!] The Sniper Shooter appeared in Symbol’s gloves as she took aim and fired a single high powered bullet that was surrounded by a light blue feather construct. It slammed into the Wizard Phantom and tore through it making sparks explode from the entrance and exit points.

[KICK STRIKE GO!] Dante jumped into the air as he was covered in the light blue wind that focused into his right boot. “Hanger!” shouted Dante as he threw a spin kick that fired a crescent of the light blue wind forwards. It smashed into the Wizard Phantom and enveloped it in a tornado of the light blue wind and spun it around at high speeds. As the tornado dispersed it flung the Wizard Phantom into the air with sparks coming off its body from the damage.

Symbol hit the right Shift Lever four times. [MAGIC TOUCHIE GO! VERY NICE!] She scanned the Wing and Sniper Rings across the Wizard Driver’s Hand Author. [WING SNIPER MAGIC! THE BEST!] The Flight Wings discharged silver and blue magical energy that gathered inside the Sniper Shooter. “Sniper Sun!” shouted Symbol as she pulled the trigger, firing a beam of father constructs at the Phantom that slammed into it, only for the Phantom to raise its shield and stop the barrage cold.

Dante punched the Angel Ring into the back of the Osiris Scythe’s blade. [THREE!] Which opened to show a trio of light blue dots. [ANGEL SCYTHE STRIKE!] Dante jumped into the air and used the Osiris Scythe as a hook, pulling it through the Phantom’s shield and making it crack in the process.

[MAGICAL TOUCH GO!] [SWIFT! A RANK SPELL!] Symbol charged yellow magical energy into the centre of her chest plate and fired five beams in the formation of an inverted triangle that slammed into the Wizard Phantom’s shield and caused it to crack and shatter into pieces. Only for the Wizard Phantom to fire a red spear at her and a line of rocks at Dante. Both attacks hit and sparks flew from the Kamen Rider’s as the Wizard Phantom teleported back and regenerated its shield.

“It’s gonna pay for that one!” shouted Dante as he got back up and ran forwards in a rage-fuelled charge. [TWO!] [ANGEL SCYTHE STRIKE!] Dante spun the Osiris Scythe like a vertical propeller, repeatedly cutting into the Wizard Phantom’s shield and causing cracks to spread through it. Dante was forced to jump to the side to avoid a line of blue rocks with light blue veins running through them that the Wizard Phantom fired at him.

Now they were heading straight for Symbol. Who struck the left Shift Lever twice. [MAGICAL TOUCH GO!] Before scanning her left glove across the Wizard Driver’s Hand Author. [SWIFT! B RANK SPELL!] She was covered in yellow mana and her perception sped up as the attack slowed down. Symbol took several steps back to get a bit of breathing space.

[MAGIC TOUCHIE GO!] [WING SNIPER MAGIC PLEASE!] She pulled back both of the Flight Wings and gave them both a hard flap that sent several feather’s shooting at the rock line attack. Halfway to the meeting point the feathers transformed into beams of blue magical energy that tore through the Wizard Phantom and then made sparks explode across its body painfully.

Dante saw the Phantom teleport back and make its shield reappear. He turned the Osiris Scythe’s handle. [HOOK MODE!] Making it transform into the Angel Lift which he hooked onto the shield and pulled himself towards the Wizard Phantom. [SCYTHE MODE!] Just before making contact Dante transformed the Angel Lift back into the Osiris Scythe, cancelling the lift. He punched the Angel Ring into the back of the Osiris Scythe’s blade. [SIX!] It opened, reveal six light blue dots. [ANGEL SCYTHE STRIKE!] Dante was covered in the light blue wind and he thrust the Osiris Scythe into the Wizard Phantom’s shield. [ANGEL SCYTHE STRIKE!] Dante now looked like a horizontal tornado made of light blue wind. “Streak!” he shouted as the shield cracked from the power of the Osiris Scythe and then shattered into pieces.

The Wizard Phantom screamed as it fired a red drill spear and a line of rocks at Dante. [KICK STRIKE GO!] Who kicked against the ground and went shooting into the air, avoiding the rocks and when he kicked to the side he boosted off the air and away from the red spear, letting it smash into the statue and explode.

Symbol saw the Wizard Phantom regenerate its shield and shot into the air as she hit the right Shift Lever four times. [MAGIC TOUCHIE GO! VERY NICE!] Then she scanned her right glove across the Wizard Driver’s Hand Author while performing a flip. [WING SNIPER MAGIC! THE BEST!] Blue and silver magical energy covered her boots as she went shooting down helmet first before turning in the air and thrusting both of her boots at the Wizard Phantom. “Wing Dive Bomb!” shouted Symbol as she slammed her boots into the Wizard Phantom’s shield, it went sliding backwards with cracks in the shield before they spread and the shield fell to pieces.

Symbol landed on the ground and slid back before looking up. Just in time for a spear of red magic energy to slam into her helmet. There was enough force to make her flip twice in the air as she went flying back and was only just able to grab onto the end of the statue as the Slip Dimension tried to pull her into the endless drop. Had she been human the left side of her head would have been torn away and her neck would have broken from the force of the spear.

“SUNSET!” shouted Dante. There was no answer as Symbol was barely continuous from the impact. Dante snarled at the Wizard Phantom in rage and for a second his armour looked like it flickered into a new form before returning to the Angel Style. “Your gonna pay for that one!” he shouted in anger. [FIVE!] [ANGEL SCYTHE STRIKE!] Dante ran forwards as he pressed down on the Osiris Scythe’s trigger. [ANGEL SCYTHE STRIKE!] The Osiris Scythe was covered in light blue magical energy that focused around the blade to form a wing construct. “Cleaver!” shouted Dante as he unleashed several spinning slashes. The feathers came off the wing and followed the movements of the Osiris Scythe as Dante ended in a single, hard, powerful downwards slash that caused the shield to shatter.

Dante jumped away from the spear that appeared to impale him. [KICK STRIKE GO!] He jumped into the air as the light blue wind covered his body and boosted towards where the Wizard Phantom came out of its teleport. The light blue wind covered both of his boots as Dante unleashed a pair of kicks, followed by a single powerful downwards kick that caused the Wizard Phantom to explode.

Dante ran to where Symbol was holding onto the ledge and pulled her up. “You ok?” he asked his sister.

“I’ve been better,” replied Symbol as her body finished recovering.

Suddenly, another pair of Wizard Phantoms appeared alongside several Lesser Blade Phantoms.

“I’d get ready for a fight,” muttered Dante as he knew this was going to be even harder than the last battle.

Suddenly, a bright light shone from Symbol’s right glove and started to form into a pair of rings on her right index and right ring fingers.

“Now that is a sight for sore eyes,” muttered Dante as he covered his visors from the intense light.

When the light cleared, the ring on Symbol’s ring finger was yellow, with a red gem in the centre that had a silver buzzsaw engraved into it. The second ring was yellow, with a green gem in the centre that had light green wind swirls etched into it. These are the Blade and Arrow Rings.

“I’ll take out the Wizard Phantoms. You deal with the Lesser Blade Phantom’s ordered Symbol as she pressed down on the right Shift Lever making the Wizard Driver’s Hand Author flip to the left and then to the right. [MAGIC TOUCHIE HENSHIN!]

“You sure that new ring isn’t for the Lesser Blade Phantom’s?” asked Dante jokingly.

Symbol gave Dante a dry look.

“I was joking. Yesh!” muttered Dante as he ran towards the Lesser Blade Phantom’s knowing that Symbol would be fine with the Wizard Phantom’s now that she had a form tailored to fighting them.

Dante switched the Angel Ring for the Nephilim Ring and punched it into his Driver’s left slot. [SET!] Dante turned his wrist back, then forwards making his Driver’s gate open and close. [OPEN!] The nephilim magic circle appeared in front of him and he ran through it. [N-E-P-H-I-L-I-M!] Dante emerged on the other side in the Nephilim Style, pulling the Rebellion Blade off his back and getting ready. [THREE!] [NEPHILIM SABER STRIKE!] Dante unleashed three slashes on three of the Lesser Blade Phantoms making sparks come from their bodies.

Dante quickly pressed down on the Rebellion Blade’s trigger. [NEPHILIM SABER STRIKE!] The eyes flashed as the blade was coating in red and blue raging energy. Dante unleashed three more slashes that caused the Phantoms to fall over and explode. He jumped back to avoid a slash from another four Lesser Blade Phantoms that had charged at Dante.

Dante jumped into the air as the four Lesser Blade Phantoms charged at him, he punched the Nephilim Ring into the back of the Rebellion Blade. [ONE!] The mouth opened to show a single red and blue dot. [NEPHILIM SABER STRIKE!] Dante went shooting down and brought the Rebellion Blade down in an overhead slash that made sparks fly from one of the Lesser Blade Phantom’s as the Rebellion Blade cut through it vertically. But it was not enough to kill the Phantom.

[TWO!] [NEPHILIM SABER STRIKE!] Dante spun around in a circle, cutting through the four Lesser Blade Phantom’s repeatedly making sparks fly from their bodies as the Rebellion Blade bit into them. However, this was still not enough to kill any of the Lesser Blade Phantoms.

“Phineas wasn’t kidding when he said these things were stronger!” muttered Dante as he pressed the Rebellion Blade’s trigger. [NEPHILIM SABER STRIKE!] The eyes flashed as the Rebellion Blade was coated with red and blue magic energy. “Death Coil!” shouted Dante as he started to spin around like a top, cutting into the Lesser Blade Phantoms and drawing sparks from their bodies until they all fell over and were each consumed by an explosion.

Dante was then forced to jump out of the way of a bomb from a Valkyrie Phantom. “That was dangerous!” he shouted at the Phantom. Thankfully, this one did not have a shield. Dante pulled out Ebony and punched the Nephilim Ring into the back of the hand cannon’s hammer. [NEPHILIM!] A ring of red energy, a ring of blue magic and a ring of black mana were pulled from the air and into Ebony. [EBONY STRIKE!] Dante let go of the trigger and fired a wide spread of black energy bolts that flew through the air and hit the Valkyrie Phantom along with the three behind it and made sparks fly from their bodies, but they did not explode.

Dante ran to the side to avoid the bombs. [NEPHILIM!] [IVORY STRIKE!] He fired four shots from Ivory that transformed into white power beams which punched through the Valkyrie Phantoms and caused them to explode. “That proves that these Phantoms are getting stronger with each fight,” muttered Dante.

Once Dante had run off, Symbol scanned her right glove across the Wizard Driver’s Hand Author. [ARROW BLADE PLEASE!] She threw her left glove into the air and the two new magic circles appeared. The first was three green swirls, inside a silver inverted triangle, inside a green eight-pointed star, inside a silver inverted triangle that had two layers and green runic text between the layers. The second magic circle was a red buzzsaw logo, within a silver inverted triangle, within a red eight-pointed star, within a silver inverted two layered triangle with red runic text between the two layers. These are the blade and the arrow magic circles.

The two magic circles fell through Symbol. Her left shoulder pauldron turned green, curved upwards at the bottom and downwards from the top while pointing to the left while having silver outlines. Symbol’s right shoulder pauldron turned red and transformed into a red sphere. Her upper arms gained red skin-tight rectangle shaped armour with a red band around them to hold the armour in place. Symbol’s left forearm guard turned green while her bracelet turned solid silver and had a silver arrow coming from it that rested over the back of her left glove. Symbol’s right forearm guard turned red and had three silver claws coming from it that rested between her knuckles. Finally, the bronze inverted triangle in the centre of her chest plate turned into three green wind swirls and a red buzzsaw logo with silver outlines. Symbol held out her hand and a green metal bow appeared. It had a silver arrow loaded into it with the tip going through a hole in the centre of it. The tip and feather part of the arrow were both coloured green. Going through the bow part was three rust red buzzsaws on either side of the arrow. The weapon is called the Buzz Bow.

This is Kamen Rider Symbol Swift Arrow Blade Style.

[MAGIC TOUCHIE GO!] [ARROW MAGIC PLEASE!] Symbol pulled back the Buzz Bow’s arrow and green energy gathered around the tip of it before she let go. From the tip of the arrow flew six blasts of wind that shifted as they formed into the shape of buzzsaws that streaked through the air and started sawing into the Wizard Phantom’s shields. Three saws to each of the Wizard Phantoms caused the shields to crack and shatter in second with Symbol being far enough away to dodge both of the spears that the Phantom’s threw at her with ease.

Symbol pressed the right Shift Lever twice. [MAGIC TOUCHIE GO!] She scanned her right glove across the Wizard Driver’s Hand Author. [BLADE MAGIC PLEASE!] Symbol swung the Buzz Bow and fired six buzzsaws from it that weaved through the air and sliced through the rocks that the Wizard Phantom’s threw at her.

Symbol then jumped over another rock line as the Phantom’s teleported back to regenerate their shields. Symbol hit the right Shift Lever four times. [MAGIC TOUCHIE GO!] Symbol spun the Buzz Bow as she scanned her right glove across the Wizard Driver’s Hand Author. [ARROW BLADE MAGIC PLEASE!] She swung the Buzz Bow, firing six Buzzsaws from it before pulling back on its arrow and firing two large wind blasts that shaped into arrow constructs which surrounded the buzzsaws. With three buzzsaws in each of the arrows, the shield cracked and shattered, dispelling the arrows but drawing sparks from the Wizard Phantoms as the buzz saws sawed into them.

“Finale!” shouted Symbol as she hit the right Shift Lever four times in quick succession. [MAGIC TOUCHIE GO! VERY NICE!] Then she scanned her right glove across the Wizard Driver’s Hand Author. [ARROW BLADE MAGIC! THE BEST!] Symbol jumped into the air as she was covered in the green wind. She threw a spin kicked that fired a crescent of wind. The Wizard Phantoms each fired a spear at it which dispelled the wind but they could do nothing about the six buzzsaws that had been hiding into the wind. They drew sparks from one of the Wizard Phantoms and caused it to explode while the other had been able to block with a rock wave. “Cutting Wind!” shouted Symbol as the remainder of the wind formed into an arrow construct as she did a flying kick that slammed into the last Wizard Phantom and caused it to explode.

“Let’s keep moving!” ordered Symbol as she started to run along the statue’s arm before noticing that Dante was not following. “What’s wrong?” she asked him.

Then she saw it.

The statue's head moved to look at Dante and Symbol. “Kamen Rider,” it whispered.

Both of the Kamen Rider’s materialized their pendants and fingered them.

The statue turned its head to look at something and the two Kamen Rider’s followed it to see a silhouette of the mark on Dante’s back hovering above its other hand.

“Right, Ichigo holds the key,” Dante quoted Phineas.

“I didn’t think Phineas meant that literally!” shouted Symbol in shock.

“Me neither,” chuckled Dante. “Let's go!”

[MAGIC TOUCHIE HENSHIN!] [WING SNIPER PLEASE!] “Wait for me!” Symbol ran in front of her brother. [MAGIC TOUCHIE GO!] [WING MAGIC PLEASE!] She gave the Flight Wings a hard flap and launched herself into the air. [MAGICAL TOUCH HENSHIN!] [ACTIVE PLEASE!] [LET’S GO!] Symbol transformed into the Active Style. [MAGIC TOUCHIE HENSHIN!] [BOOST DEFEND PLEASE!] She turned in the air. [MAGIC TOUCHIE GO!] [BOOST MAGIC PLEASE!] Before landed on a rock and jumping to the next one.

[MAGIC TOUCHIE HENSHIN!] [ICE BIND PLEASE!] Symbol changed active substyles. [MAGIC TOUCHIE GO!] [BIND MAGIC PLEASE!] Then used a chain of orange energy to pull a piece of the statue out of the way.

[KICK STRIKE GO!] Dante hooked the Angel Lift onto a boost ring and pulled himself to it before boosting through it. Then he hooked onto another piece of the statue and pulled himself up as Symbol landed beside him.

[MAGIC TOUCHIE GO!] [BIND MAGIC PLEASE!] Symbol hooked onto another piece of the statue that was floating around as Dante followed her.  [MAGIC TOUCHIE HENSHIN!] [BOOST DEFEND PLEASE!] She changed back. [MAGIC TOUCHIE GO!] [BOOST MAGIC PLEASE!] Before jumping to a boost ring.

[MAGICAL TOUCH HENSHIN!] [SWIFT PLEASE!] [DASH AWAY!] Symbol shifted into the Swift Style. [MAGIC TOUCHIE HENSHIN!] [WING SNIPER PLEASE!] Then into the Swift Wing Sniper Style as the boost ring started to affect her. She was sent flying, she and Dante landed next to the silhouette and grabbed it.

“Is something supposed to happen?” asked Symbol after a few seconds of nothing happening.

Suddenly, she was back in the mindscape.

“I just had to say that,” groaned Symbol. When Dante said nothing she looked around in confusion. “Dante? Dante?!” she realised that she was all alone. “Drat!” snarled Symbol. “We must have gotten separated!” she started to run. “I’d better break that last chain and find out what the deal is with that statue!”

[MAGIC TOUCHIE GO!] [WING MAGIC PLEASE!] Symbol gave the Flight Wings a hard flap to propel her over the gap and landed on another island. [MAGICAL TOUCH HENSHIN!] [ACTIVE PLEASE!] [LET’S GO!] She transformed into the Active Style. [MAGIC TOUCHIE HENSHIN!] [BOOST DEFEND PLEASE!] Then she jumped up to a rock. [MAGIC TOUCHIE GO!] [BOOST MAGIC PLEASE!] Before jumping off it and running up the staircase to the rock hands that were holding the last chain of the statue.

[MAGICAL TOUCH HENSHIN!] [GIGA PLEASE!] [BREAK THROUGH!] Symbol transformed into the Giga Style. [COME ON A SMASH SHAKE HANDS!] [GIGA SMASH STRIKE!] Then slammed the Giga Axe down, destroying the chain.

The rock was destroyed and the hands dropped the chain into the water. The statue’s head turned towards Symbol as its eyes started to glow. The statue raised its hands up, reveal that they were shackled before it pulled its hands away from each other and caused the chains, as well as its chest,  to burst into pieces!

“Sunset, you are here because I was unable to protect you.”

Uncovering her visors she saw an armoured creature walking towards her. It was humanoid and had a female outline. Its body looked to be made of white metal with golden shoulder pauldrons, gloves, forearm guards, knee armour and boot. Her head looked like a golden helmet with a ponytail of red hair coming from the back and her face was in the shape of a circle blue gem. Coming out of her back was a pair of white metallic wings.

Suddenly the wings folded around her and then unfolded reveal a human. She had pale skin and blue eyes as well as long blood red hair. She wore a black gothic dress with black wrist length gloves and black knee-high high-heeled boots. Her wings had transformed into a white-silver cape.

Symbol had seen this face once before during the last day. It was in the mansion of her former home. “Mom?”

“For that, I am truly sorry.”

“Mom it's me! Sunset!”

“Your father fell in love with me. A love that transgressed rigid ancient boundaries.”

“Mom! I’m here!”

“We choose our path in the face of certain annihilation. We never regretted our choices, but we never gave you, yours my dear daughter. Now, you will have that choice. You will have great power.”

“Mom no! Don’t leave!”

“A power that will allow you to forge your own path.”

“I DON’T WANT POWER! I JUST WANT YOU TO STAY!”

“That my daughter is freedom. Be brave my daughter, I love you.”

“Mom! No! Mom! Mom!”

The light cleared and Eva vanished as a ring dropped into Symbol’s right glove. “Thanks, Mum,” muttered Symbol after a few seconds of crying. She glanced around as ten Ravager Phantoms burst from the ground.

Symbol slid the ring into her left middle finger and pressed the left Shift Lever. [TOUCH TO ADVANCE YOUR CLASS!] She scanned the ring The ring was grey with a bronze gem in the centre and a yellow cross cut through the centre of it. [ADVANCE PLEASE! ] Symbol held out her left glove and a new magic circle appeared in front of her. It was a yellow X inside a grey A, inside a yellow eight-pointed star, inside another yellow A that had two layers and grey runic text between the two layers. The advanced magic circle moved back through Symbol. For a second her human form appeared in front of her before breaking down into yellow motes of light as the transformation took place.

When the yellow light that had surrounded Symbol vanished she had transformed into her Upgraded Form. Her helmet had turned silver with a bronze X in the centre of her forehead, coming out of which was a pair of silver antenna that formed a V. Her faceplate was a bright yellow X shaped gem with a pair of black lines coming from the top of it that looped around the back of her helmet. Symbol’s bodysuit had turned pitch black with the inside of her legs being light silver while the inside of her upper arms were the same colour as well as the forearms of the suit being coloured dark silver. Symbol’s shoulder pauldrons were in the shape of a pair of half domes with an indent in the centre that held a yellow orb. The girl’s forearm armour was coloured yellow and shaped like a rectangle with grey outlines while the armour on the back of her black gloves was shaded silver. Her bracelets and were made of yellow gems that had grey outlines and a bronze line emerging from the side of the gem, looping around the centre of the accessory they connected to the other side of the gem-shaped bracelets. The Kamen Rider’s knee armour had not changed but the shin armour was now silver with a yellow vertical rectangle in the centre of it and her boots and turned silver. Symbol’s robe was now coloured silver and the collar had been folded down, the inside of it was coloured yellow and the piping was bronze. Symbol’s robe was zipped up at the front, preventing her chestplate from being seen, in the centre of it was four black circles in an X formation.

This is Kamen Rider Symbol Advance Style.

“Wow,” muttered Symbol. She could feel the amount of power running through her body and none of her other forms could compare to this at all.

Suddenly one of the Ravager Phantoms charged at her after setting its body on fire. Symbol replied to the threat by pressing the left Shift lever once. [TOUCH TO CAST THE NEXT LEVEL!] Then she scanned her left glove across the Wizard Driver’s Hand Author. [color=#888888][ADVANCE C TIER SPELL!] The rectangle on her right glove shone with yellow magical energy as Symbol turned around and forced the chainsaw to one side with her left forearm guard before uppercutting the Ravager Phantom. On contact a shockwave of yellow mana was released and the Phantom was sent shooting into the air.

“Woah!” gasped Symbol. The shockwave that her fist had released on impact had sent all ten of the Ravager Phantoms flying backwards with sparks coming from their bodies while the one that she had actually hit had yellow lightning crackling across its body as it fell back down to the ground and got up painfully. Symbol ran forwards as she hit the left Shift Lever four times to start her finisher. [TOUCH TO CAST THE NEXT LEVEL! VERY NICE!] Symbol pulled back her right fist as she scanned her left glove across the Wizard Driver’s Hand Author. [ADVANCE S TIER SPELL! THE BEST!] Yellow energy came from the rectangle on the back of her right forearm and covered her fist as she punched the Phantom. The Ravager Phantom tried to block with its chainsaw only for the thing to shatter on impact and the mana was shot off Symbol’s glove in a fist wide beam that slammed into the Ravager Phantom’s chest before causing it to explode.

“I’m going to enjoy using this form a lot!” shouted Symbol as she pressed the left Shift Lever twice. [TOUCH TO CAST THE NEXT LEVEL!] She let a Ravager Phantom hit her across the shoulder pauldron as she scanned her left glove. [ADVANCE B TIER SPELL!] Symbol collected yellow energy into her right elbow as she pulled it back and slammed it into the second Ravager Phantom sending it flying back through the air as it sparked several times before exploding.

The third and fourth Ravager Phantom set themselves on fire and charged at Symbol. [TOUCH TO CAST THE NEXT LEVEL! VERY NICE!] She gathered yellow magical energy into her forearm armour and her right leg. [ADVANCE S TIER SPELL! THE BEST!] Symbol crossed her arms over her chest, blocking the chainsaws with ease. “Cross Guard Counter!” shouted Symbol as she threw a spin kick with her right leg. An explosion ignited across both of the Ravager Phantoms as they fell to their knees and started to fade away.

Ravager Phantoms number five and six revved up their chainsaws and swiped Symbol across her robe drawing a shower of sparks but failing to do any lasting damage or leave a mark on her armor. “That tickled,” chuckled Symbol as she grabbed the two Ravager Phantoms by their heads and slammed the two of them together. As they were recovering Symbol pressed the left Shift Lever three times. [TOUCH TO CAST THE NEXT LEVEL! ] Symbol scanned the Advance Ring across the Wizard Driver’s Hand Author. [ADVANCE A TIER SPELL!] The rectangle panels on her forearm guards discharged yellow magical energy before it was pulled into both of her gloves and Symbol unleashed a punched from each glove that slammed into the chests of the two Ravager Phantoms. They were both sent flying through the air and over the edge of the island they were standing on into the water where they exploded.

Seeing three more Ravager Phantoms running at her, Symbol hit the left Shift Lever four times. [TOUCH TO CAST THE NEXT LEVEL! VERY NICE!] Then she scanned her left glove across the Wizard Driver’s Hand Author. [ADVANCE S TIER SPELL! THE BEST!] Symbol covered both of her gloves with yellow mana that leaked from the rectangles in the back of her forearm guards and brought them down in a hammer blow that smashed one of the Ravager Phantom’s into the ground. “Advanced Hammer!” shouted Symbol. She grabbed the downwards Phantom by both of its legs and pulled it up before swinging it around then slamming it into the other two Ravager Phantoms like a baseball bat and sending it flying.

There was one last Ravager Phantom charging at Symbol. She was about to counter it. [MAGICAL TOUCH HENSHIN!] [GIGA PLEASE!] [BREAK THROUGH!] When the Advance Style suddenly vanished and was replaced by the Giga Style. “What on earth!?” shouted Symbol with wide visors. Suddenly, the Ravager Phantom’s chainsaw slammed into her chest plate making sparks explode from it and sending Symbol flying backwards.

“So there’s a time limit,” realised Symbol as she got back up. “That would have been nice to know sooner!” she shouted. [MAGICAL TOUCH SPELL!] [GIGA C RANK SPELL!] Green mana hummed around Symbol’s right glove as she ran forwards. Symbol hit the left Shift Lever four times. [MAGICAL TOUCH GO! VERY NICE!] Before scanning the Giga Ring across the Wizard Driver’s Hand Author. [GIGA! S RANK SPELL! THE BEST!] Green magic energy blazed around her body like a bonfire before focusing in her right glove as she punched the Phantom across the face, sending it flying back before it exploded.

All of a sudden, Symbol found herself back in the Slip Dimension on the statue with Dante. “You met one of our parents?” she asked.

“It was dad,” replied Dante.

“Got a new form?” asked Symbol.

“Yep,” replied Dante. “But how are we going to get back up?” he asked.

Suddenly, a green light shone over the two of them. They looked up to see Phineas standing near the edge of the building.

“Dante, Ruby!” he shouted as he used his eye to bend the Slip Dimension to his will. Several pieces of rubble moved around to make a rough path back up to the floor below him in the building.

“Oh right the tower,” muttered Dante as the two of them shook off the dizziness from the experience.

[MAGICAL TOUCH HENSHIN!] [ACTIVE PLEASE!] [LET’S GO!] “We’re on our way!” shouted Symbol. [MAGIC TOUCHIE HENSHIN!] [BOOST DEFEND PLEASE!] She crouched. [MAGIC TOUCHIE GO!] [BOOST MAGIC PLEASE!] Then jumped to a piece of rubble before leaping off it and landing on a piece of a building that was floating, before jumping off that and landing inside the building after jumping through a hole in the wall with ease.

At that moment a literal swarm of Phantoms appeared from the floor of the building ready to attack.

Dante was about to charge when Symbol stopped him.

“Let me deal with this lot, you can have the next batch,” she requested of her brother.

After several seconds Dante nodded and stepped back.

Symbol took several steps forwards and slid the Advance Ring into her left middle finger as she pressed the left Shift Lever. [TOUCH TO ADVANCE YOUR CLASS!] The Wizard Driver’s Hand Author flipped to the left as Symbol scanned her left glove across it. [ADVANCE PLEASE!] The advance magic circle appeared in front of her and moved back through Symbol, transforming her into the Advance Style.

Dante raised a visor brow at his sisters transformation. He could feel the amount of magic energy coming from it. “Impressive,” he admitted.

Symbol ran forwards and punched a Lesser Blade Phantom in the chest, it exploded and her punched had fired a shockwave of yellow magical energy forwards that caused a pair of Lesser Blade Phantom to explode as well. [ TOUCH TO CAST THE NEXT LEVEL!] [ADVANCE C TIER SPELL!] Symbol pulled back her left fist as it glowed with yellow magical energy and uppercutted a Rage Phantom that had come spinning at her up into the air.

As the Phantom fell back down to the ground Symbol pressed the left Shift Lever twice. [TOUCH TO CAST THE NEXT LEVEL!] She scanned the Advance Ring. [ADVANCE B TIER SPELL!] Before spinning around and throwing an elbow strike that sent a shockwave of yellow mana through the Rage Phantom and sent it flying into a wall with sparks coming from its body.

Symbol jumped back as she avoided a slash from a Death Knight Phantom and weaved around it. [TOUCH TO CAST THE NEXT LEVEL! VERY NICE!] [ADVANCE S TIER SPELL! THE BEST!] She ran forwards and jumped into the air as her right boot was covered in yellow magic, Symbol spun around and kicked the Rage Phantom, forcing it through the wall and causing it to explode.

A Hell Knight Phantom and a Frost Knight Phantom both stabbed their blades into the ground, firing a line of ice and a circle of fire at Symbol. She jumped back but the thermal shock of the two colliding caused an explosion that sent her flying back. Symbol pressed the left Shift Lever twice. [TOUCH TO CAST THE NEXT LEVEL!] Before scanning the Advance Ring across the Wizard Driver’s Hand Author. [ADVANCE A TIER SPELL!] Symbol ran forwards and punched the Hell Knight Phantom with a jab, followed by a hook. The first attack shattered its shield and the second hit it in the head and sent it flying into the Frost Knight Phantom. Symbol blurred forwards and threw a pair of spin kicks that ignited an explosion across both of the Phantoms.

[TOUCH TO CAST THE NEXT LEVEL!] [ADVANCE C TIER SPELL!] Symbol ran forwards and uppercutted the both of them into the air with her left fist as it glowed with yellow magic. The Phantoms were sent flying into the air and fell down, through a hole in the floor, into the endless drop where cracks spread through their bodies as yellow lightning sparked over them, they both exploded.

Symbol jumped back as a Valkyrie Phantom threw a bomb at her that exploded where she had just been standing. Symbol jumped into the air, towards five Shielded Valkyrie Phantoms as she pressed the left Shift Lever twice. [TOUCH TO CAST THE NEXT LEVEL!] Symbol scanned her left glove across the Wizard Driver’s Hand Author. [ADVANCE B TIER SPELL!] She spun around as yellow magical energy covered her left elbow and slammed it into the Shielded Valkyrie Phantom. The force of the blow shattered its shield and sent the Phantom shooting into the ground where it exploded. The shockwave from the elbow making contact with the shield shattered the shields of the other four Shielded Valkyrie Phantoms.

[TOUCH TO CAST THE NEXT LEVEL! VERY NICE!] [ADVANCE S TIER SPELL! THE BEST!] Symbol jumped into the air as yellow mana came from both of the rectangles in her forearm armour. “Cross Guard Counter!” shouted Symbol as she uncrossed her arms and cut through all four of the Valkyrie Phantoms, making them fall to the ground and get engulfed by explosions.

Symbol landed back on the ground only for sparks to come off her armour. She looked up and saw five Shielded Icarus Phantoms getting ready to fire at her once again. “This is too easy!” chuckled Symbol before wincing as a burst of pain tore through the right side of her helmet.

Dante saw it. “What was that?” he muttered in concern for his sister’s safety. With the amount of Phantoms around her, even the slightest distraction could cause her to be over run.

Symbol recovered and pressed the left Shift Lever once. [TOUCH TO CAST THE NEXT LEVEL!] She scanned the Advance Ring across the Wizard Driver’s Hand Author. [ADVANCE C TIER SPELL!] Yellow mana covered her left arm as she pulled it back and threw an uppercut. The mana shot off her arm in the form of a beam that slammed into the Shielded Icarus Phantoms and caused their shields to crack in half.

[TOUCH TO CAST THE NEXT LEVEL! VERY NICE!] [ADVANCE S TIER SPELL! THE BEST!] Symbol hopped back as the Icarus Phantom recovered and fired a storm of arrow bolts at her before Symbol threw another uppercut. The magical energy shot off her arm again. Only this time it formed into a column thick beam that slammed into the Icarus Phantoms, washing over them and causing five powerful explosions to ripple through the building.

On one of the rafters Phineas was observing the battle. He frowned as he noticed something before vanishing into thin air. Parts of his body faded away, one after the other until he had vanished.

Symbol jumped to the side, avoiding a line of ice from another Frost Knight Phantom that had pulled itself from the ground. [TOUCH TO CAST THE NEXT LEVEL!] [ADVANCE C TIER SPELL!] The rectangle on Symbol’s left arm glowed as it leaked yellow magical energy that covered her arm, shining brightly. Symbol dashed forwards and slammed her fist into the Frost Knight. For a second its energy shield looked like it was going to be able to stop it before Symbol broke through and punched the Frost Knight Phantom in the face, sending it flying back. The yellow shockwave that roared out of the impact crushed another pair of Death Knight Phantoms causing them to explode.

“WOAH!” shouted Dante as Phineas appeared next to him. His body fading in one piece after the other. “Please don’t do that! I nearly shot you!” he shouted.

Phineas shrugged. “I would not be much of a teleport if I announced I was going to do it before I did it,” he stated.

“Your as bad as my sister!” Dante grumbled.

Symbol hit the left Shift Lever four times as she blocked a Tyrant Phantom’s belly flop with one glove. [TOUCH TO CAST THE NEXT LEVEL! VERY NICE!] She threw the large Phantom off as she scanned her left glove across the Wizard Driver’s Hand Author. [ADVANCE S TIER SPELL! THE BEST!] Symbol ran forwards as her right leg was covered in yellow energy, she spun around. “Advance Kicker!” then kicked the Phantom in the chest, sending it flying back before it exploded.

Suddenly, Symbol clutched her helmet in pain as she felt like someone was driving needles into her skull. Then she stood up and deflected a pair of Tyrant Phantoms that had charged at her from either side, sending them running past her and into walls.

“Are you seeing what eye am seeing?” asked Phineas.

“Yeah, she gets more wild each time she holds her helmet in pain,” replied Dante.

Symbol pressed the left Shift Lever three times. [TOUCH TO CAST THE NEXT LEVEL!] Then she scanned her left glove across the Wizard Driver’s Hand Author. [ADVANCE A TIER SPELL!] Symbol jumped into the air as the rectangles on both her legs glowed. She went shooting down as yellow magical energy wrapped around her legs and impacted one of the Tyrant Phantoms. She back flipped off it as yellow lightning crackled over its body before it exploded.

“Somethings wrong,” stated Dante. “I’m going in!” he grabbed the Osiris Scythe off his back and charged forwards.

“Good luck!” shouted Phineas. “Eye can see this won’t be an easy battle,” he shouted after Dante.

[TOUCH TO CAST THE NEXT LEVEL! VERY NICE!] [ADVANCE S TIER SPELL! THE BEST!] Symbol jumped into the air as the rectangles on her arms leaked yellow mana which roared around her hands. “Advance Hammer!” she clasped both of her gloves over her helmet and brought them down. Slamming the Tyrant Phantom into the ground and causing it to explode.

Dante skidding to a halt. “Huh, I guess I wasn’t needed after all,” he commented. Suddenly, all of his instincts screamed at him to move. Dante dodged to the side, only just avoiding a punch to his helmet.

He turned around to face his attacker only to stop in shock. “SUNSET?!” indeed it was his little sister that had attacked him. “What are you doing?!” demanded Dante. [TWO!] [ANGEL SCYTHE STRIKE!] He spun the Osiris Scythe like a vertical propeller before holding down on its trigger. [ANGEL SCYTHE STRIKE!] Light blue energy gathered around it before forming into a circle shaped shield in front of Dante.

[TOUCH TO CAST THE NEXT LEVEL! VERY NICE!] [ADVANCE S TIER SPELL! THE BEST!] Symbol jumped into the air and came down with a double kick that shattered the shield and Dante was only just able to dodge.

‘What’s up with her visors?’ he mentally questioned.

Symbol’s visors had turned silver with the centre of them being bright yellow and glowing like small suns. “Ok, Dante, think,” muttered Dante as he punched the Angel Ring into the left slot of his Driver. [KICK STRIKE GO!] He was covered in the light blue wind and jumped into the air, avoiding his sister’s next attack as she recklessly charged under him. “When I transformed into my Upgraded Form I felt really angry. From what I remember of that biology course I took before dropping out of school anger is caused by chemicals in the brain but too much can cause brain damage and even cause a person to pass out. Sis must have passed out!” he realised.

“I would advise forcing her back into her normal form,” Phineas shouted from a corner of the building.

“How do I do that?!” demanded Dante as he switched the Angel Ring for the Arbiter Ring and punched it into his Driver’s left slot. [SET!] Dante turned his wrist back, then forwards making his Driver’s gate close and open. [OPEN!] The arbiter magic circle appeared from his Driver and sent Symbol flying back before passing through him. [A-R-B-I-T-E-R!] The Arbiter Axe appeared in Dante’s gloves and he used it to block a fist from Symbol as she recovered.

“Do enough damage to her that she is forced out of her upgraded form!” suggested Phineas quickly.

“WHAT?! I can’t do that! She’s my sister!” shouted Dante.

“If you have a better idea, then you are welcome to try it!” shouted Phineas before he teleported away.

“Coward!” spat out Dante.

[TOUCH TO CAST THE NEXT LEVEL!] [ADVANCE C TIER SPELL!] His distraction cost him as Symbol rammed her right fist into his gut, sending him flying backwards from the yellow shockwave.

“Sorry sis,” apologized Dante as he brought out a new ring. It was black with a square shaped gem in the centre. Half of the gem was red with a pair of bat or dragon wings engraved into it while the other half was light blue with a pair of dove or angel wings etched into it. “But this is for you own good!” Dante switched the Arbiter Ring with the new ring and punched it into his Driver’s left slot. [TRIGGER!] Dante turned his wrist back to make his Driver’s gate close then he turned it forwards making his Driver’s gate open. [DEVIL GO!] Out of Dante’s Driver came the red image of a Phantom that rammed into Symbol, forcing her back before it moved behind Dante and wrapped its arms around him. [DE-DE-DE-DEVIL!] After a second there was a flash at the two of them merged, forming Dante’s new form.

His helmet had turned black with the outlines of it being dark red that had black lines running through them. In the centre of his forehead was a flame red jewel with blood red outlines and a V shaped crest coming out of it. His visors were now blood red with a flame red mouth guard. His gloves and neck were now black with his boots, legs, torso and arms being coloured blood red. He had a flame red demonic face on his chest plate that had blood red eyes and a blood red mouth. The chest plate was linked to his flame red shoulder armour. Finally, Dante’s wristlets, anklets shin armour and knee armour as well as his forearm guards were all coloured deep dark black. A magnum appeared in his hand, it was pitch black with a flame red barrel and blood red outlines. On the side of it was a silver skull face, coming from the back was a pair of silver bones that made a T with the handle and along the barrel was silver rib cage bones. This is Kamen Rider Dante Devil Trigger Style armed with the Rebellion Magnum Devil Mode.

Now transformed, Dante pulled the trigger, firing several shots from the Rebellion Magnum that slammed into Symbol and ignited micro explosions across her body as she stumbled backwards. Dante quickly punched the Trigger Ring into the back of the Rebellion Magnum. [ONE! DEVIL!] A holographic red one appeared in front of the Rebellion Magnum's skull. [MAGNUM STRIKE!] Red energy charged into the gun as Symbol dashed forwards. Dante pointed it at her and fired. Out of the Rebellion Magnum came a blast of red energy that threw Symbol into the air where she was helpless for several seconds as Dante bombarded her with shots.

[TOUCH TO CAST THE NEXT LEVEL!] [ADVANCE B TIER SPELL!] Symbol kicked off the air behind her and made a shockwave of yellow magical energy as she shot down towards Dante.

Having turned into a berserker, Symbol had lost all sense of reason and strategy. Her attacks were now straight forwards and predictable. Which Dante demonstrated by moving out of the way. Then Symbol struck the ground with her elbow, she unleashed a shockwave that Dante used to get further away as he jumped and landed on his boots at the other side of the room. [THREE! DEVIL!] [MAGNUM STRIKE!] Dante took aim and fired the Rebellion Magnum, out of its barrel roared three bolts of red energy. Symbol blocked one but the other two slammed into her from either side and made sparks explode from her body.

[TOUCH TO CAST THE NEXT LEVEL! VERY NICE!] [ADVANCE S TIER SPELL! THE BEST!] Symbol roared as she ran forwards with both of her arms being covered in yellow magical energy. She uncrossed them quickly aiming to chop an X into Dante’s chest plate with her attack.

Dante ducked under the attack and tripped his sister up with a boot as he punched the Trigger Ring into the back of the Rebellion Magnum. [FIVE! DEVIL!] Dante pointed the Rebellion Magnum at Symbol as a holographic five appeared next to the Magnum’s skull. [MAGNUM STRIKE!] Dante pulled the trigger, firing a long powerful bolt that slammed into Symbol’s chest plate making her spin around as she fell to the ground.

[TOUCH TO CAST THE NEXT LEVEL!] [ADVANCE A TIER SPELL!] Symbol snarled as she got back up and yellow magical energy shone around her arms. Symbol threw a pair of punches followed up an uppercut at Dante. Both of the punches missed but the uppercut clipped him and sent Dante flying back with sparks coming from his shoulder pauldron where he had been hit.

“I can’t get hit by to many of those,” muttered Dante as he held his shoulder pauldron. [SIX! DEVIL!] [MAGNUM STRIKE!] Red energy gathered around the Rebellion Magnum as Dante pointed it at Symbol and fired a barrage of red energy bolts at her. Sparks flew from her armour as Symbol roared painfully with Dante regretting each and every hit on his sister.

“I’m sorry sis,” muttered Dante as he punched the Trigger Ring into the back of the Rebellion Magnum. [FIVE! DEVIL!] A blood red five appeared in front of the Rebellion Magnum’s skull. [MAGNUM STRIKE!] Dante took aim as he held the trigger with ten rings of red energy appearing in the air and being pulled into the gun. Symbol got back up. “Stinger!” just in time for Dante to fire a massive beam of red energy that shaped itself into a construct of the Rebellion Blade which washed over Symbol, making a powerful explosion ripple across the building.

From the explosion Symbol appeared, still standing.

“Oh come on!” shouted Dante.

Then micro explosions went off around Symbol as she fell to her knees. [MAGICAL TOUCH HENSHIN!] [ACTIVE PLEASE!] [LET’S GO!] Her armour shimmered and transformed back into the Active Style.

“Sunset!” shouted Dante as he ran forwards and caught her. “You ok?” he asked as her visors came back online.

“Dante?” asked Symbol. “Why do I feel like a herd of Tyrant Phantoms stamped all over me?”


One explanation later:


“I am so, so sorry!” cried Symbol as she bowed to Dante repeatedly in apology.

[SET!] [OPEN!] [N-E-P-H-I-L-I-M!] “It’s fine,” replied Dante as he transformed back into the Nephilim Style. “But I have to ask, what on earth happen?!”

“In all honesty I have no idea,” replied Symbol. “Each time I used my powers in that form the pain just got worse until I blacked out. The next thing I know your standing over me in your new style!”

“Well, until we can figure out a way for you to control yourself in that style. I’d suggest using it as little as possible,” Dante suggested to his sister.

“Good idea,” Symbol gave the Advance Ring a sore look. That form was so powerful but the risk was too great.

They quickly ran into another room when suddenly, the barriers appeared as did the Phantoms.

“Let’s get to it!” shouted Dante as he ran at a Lesser Blade Phantom. He punched the Nephilim Ring into the bottom of the Rebellion Blade’s handle. [ONE!] The mouth opened to reveal a pair of red and blue circles. [NEPHILIM SABER STRIKE!] Dante swung upwards, sending the Lesser Blade Phantom into the air before he jumped after it and slashed downwards, sending the Lesser Blade Phantom shooting back down to the ground with a loud slam.

While he was still in the air, Dante pressed down on the Rebellion Blade’s trigger. [NEPHILIM SABER STRIKE!] Red and blue energy gathered around it as the eyes flash. “Helm Breaker!” shouted Dante as he went shooting down and cut the Lesser Blade Phantom in half making it explode.

Symbol was fighting a Blade Phantom, she locked blades with it and quickly took her left glove off the Active Blade’s hilt, pressing the left Shift Lever. [MAGICAL TOUCH GO!] Then she scanned the Active Ring across the Wizard Driver’s Hand Author. [ACTIVE! C RANK SPELL!] Red lightning sparked over Symbol’s body before covering her left glove as she pulled it back and punched the Phantom in the face, sending it staggering backwards.

While Phantom was recovering Symbol pressed the left Shift Lever down four times. [MAGICAL TOUCH GO! VERY NICE!] Then she scanned her left glove across the Wizard Driver’s Hand Author. [ACTIVE! S RANK SPELL! THE BEST!] Red lightning surged around her body before gathering in her left glove as she threw a palm strike. “Active Strike!” The Blade Phantom blocked with its sword, only for a beam of red lightning to tear through it and caused the Phantom to explode.

Dante ducked under a slash and then leaned to the right as a Death Knight Phantom burst from the ground and made to impale him. Dante switched the Nephilim Ring for the Arbiter Ring and punched it into his Driver’s left slot. [SET!] He turned his wrist back, then forwards making his Driver’s gate close and open. [OPEN!] The arbiter magic circle appeared from Dante’s Driver and moved back through him. [A-R-B-I-T-E-R!] This transformed Dante into the Arbiter Style. He blocked a slash with the shaft of the Arbiter Axe then smashed it into the Death Knight Phantom twice, cracking the Phantom’ shield. Dante punched the Arbiter Ring into the slot at the bottom of the Arbiter Axe’s handle. [TWO!] The holographic dice appeared and spun before stopping on a pair of blood red dots. [AXE STRIKE!] Dante swung the Arbiter Axe down, sending two lines of red energy through the ground that closed in on the Phantom in a pincer move. This sent the Death Knight Phantom flying into the air.

While the Phantom was in the air, Dante pressed the Arbiter Ring into the slot at the base of the Arbiter Axe gain. [ONE!] The dice lost a single dot. [AXE STRIKE!] Dante pressed down on the Arbiter Axe’s trigger. [AXE STRIKE!] Blood red energy surged up the Arbiter Axe’s shaft and into its blade as Dante swung it at the Death Knight Phantom. “Flush!” yelled Dante. The energy was fired off and formed into a spinning axe blade construct that slammed into the Death Knight Phantom and cut a glowing red through the Phantom. Red lightning sparked over its body as the Death Knight Phantom fell back to the ground and exploded.

Symbol ran to the side as several red bloody spears hit the ground where she had just been standing. She glared at the Wizard Phantom and jumped over a line of rocks, landing on top of a box as she switched the Active Ring for the Swift Ring and pressed the left Shift Lever. [MAGICAL TOUCH HENSHIN!] Symbol scanned her left glove across the Wizard Driver’s Hand Author. [SWIFT PLEASE!] The Wizard Phantom saw the swift magic circle appear above Symbol and fired several red spears at her. [DASH AWAY!] Only for them to be deflected by the magic circle as it fell through her. Symbol saw another line of rocks coming at her and hit the left Shift Lever four times. [MAGICAL TOUCH GO!] She scanned her left glove across her Driver and let yellow magic energy gather within her chestplate. [SWIFT! A RANK SPELL!] Symbol let the magic energy go and fired a yellow beam that tore through the air and into the Wizard Phantom’s shield. After a few seconds the shield exploded, cancelling out the beam.

Symbol added the Arrow and Blade Rings to her right glove and pressed the right Shift Lever. [MAGIC TOUCHIE HENSHIN!] Symbol scanned her right glove across the Wizard Driver’s Hand Author as she jumped into the air. [ARROW BLADE PLEASE!] The arrow and blade magic circles appeared over her helmet and she jumped through him, emerging in the Swift Arrow Blade Style. Symbol ducked under another spear as she slid forwards and pressed the right Shift Lever once. [MAGIC TOUCHIE GO!] Symbol scanned the Arrow Ring across the Wizard Driver’s Hand Author as green magic energy built up in the Buzz Bow. [ARROW MAGIC PLEASE!] Symbol swung the Buzz Bow, firing six blasts of wind that looked like buzzsaws. They cut into the Wizard Phantom and drew sparks from its body before it teleported away and appeared on the other side of the room to regenerate its shield.

Seeing this and not willing to allow it, Symbol pressed the right Shift Lever four times. [MAGIC TOUCHIE GO! VERY NICE!] Before swiping her right glove across the Wizard Driver’s Hand Author as green wind gathered around the Buzz Bow. [ARROW BLADE MAGIC! THE BEST!] Symbol swung the Buzz Bow and fired six more blasts of wind in the shape of buzzsaws. They flew in a line, generating an arrow of wind. “Arrow Cutter!” shouted Symbol as the arrow punched through the Wizard Phantom’s shield and through the Wizard Phantom making sparks explode from its body as green lightning crackled across it before the Phantom exploded.

Dante jumped back as a Hell Knight Phantom lunged at him with its sword. He switched the Arbiter Ring with the Eryx Ring and punched it into his Driver’s left slot. [SET!] Dante turned his wrist back, then forwards making his Driver’s door close and then open again. [OPEN!] The eryx magic circle appeared from Dante’s Driver and moved back through him. [E-R-Y-X!] He emerged in the Eryx Style and punched the Phantom in the face as it tried to stab him once more. Dante pressed the Eryx Ring into the back of the right Eryx Gauntlet. [ONE!] The holographic dice appeared then it spun for several seconds and stopped on a one. [FIST STRIKE!] Dante pulled back his fists as they caught on fire and punched the Hell Knight Phantom’s shield three times causing it to shatter and stun the Phantom for a few seconds.

While he had a chance, Dante punched the Eryx Ring into the slot in the back of the right Eryx Gauntlet again. [THREE!] The dice spun and stopped so that it displayed another two dots. [FIST STRIKE!] Dante pulled back his left fist and punched the Hell Knight Phantom, uppercutting it in the chin and sending it shooting into the air as the flames from the Eryx Gauntlets wrapped around it and drew sparks from its body.

Then, as the Phantom started to fall back down, Dante pulled the trigger inside the left Eryx Gauntlet. [FIST STRIKE!] Red flames covered the left Eryx Gauntlet before peeling off it to form a construct of flames that Dante drove forwards, making contact with the Hell Knight Phantom. It was sent shooting back into the air with red lightning and red flames wrapped around it before the Phantom exploded.

Dante landed back on the ground and was forced to jump back as a Rage Phantom lunged at him. “Not one of you again!” he shouted as he switched the Eryx Ring for the Angel Ring and slotted it into his Driver’s left slot. [SET!] Dante turned his wrist back and forwards making his Driver’s gate close before it sprang back open. [OPEN!] The angel magic circle appeared in front of him and moved back through Dante, transforming him into the angel style. [O-S-I-R-I-S!] Dante pulled out the Osiris Scythe and used it to deflect the Rage Phantom as it spin dashed at him. While the Phantom was recovering from missing, Dante punched the Angel Ring into the back of the Osiris Scythe. [ONE!] The blade opened to reveal a single light blue dot. [ANGEL SCYTHE STRIKE!] Dante ran forwards and spun around with the Osiris Scythe, cutting into the Rage Phantom repeatedly.

The Rage Phantom roared as it jumped back and then dashed forwards, slashing Dante across the chest plate before jumping off a crate and zooming past him, slashing the Kamen Rider as it did so. “Knock it off!” shouted Dante as he slammed the Angel Ring into his Driver’s left slot a second time. [KICK STRIKE GO!] Light blue wind gathered around his right boots as he spun around and kicked the Rage Phantom in the face. “Karma!” he shouted as the Phantom was sent flying backwards and smashed into a pile of crates, making all of them fall on top of it.

While the Phantom was recovering, Dante punched the Angel Ring into the back of the Osiris Scythe’s blade. [THREE!] The blade closed before opening again to display three light blue circles. [ANGEL SCYTHE STRIKE!] Dante jumped into the air as he pressed the Osiris Scythe’s trigger. [ANGEL SCYTHE STRIKE!] Light blue magical energy surged up the Osiris Scythe’s shaft and into scythe’s blade. “Rake!” shouted Dante as he jumped into the air and tore the Osiris Scythe through the ground. Sending a blast of light blue wind that tore through the Rage Phantom and made it explode.

Symbol dodged to the side, only just avoiding a charge from a Ravager Phantom. “You can do better than that!” she mocked as she changed the Swift Ring for the Burst Ring then pressed the left Shift Lever. [MAGICAL TOUCH HENSHIN!] She scanned the Burst Ring across the Wizard Driver’s Hand Author as the Ravager Phantom set itself on fire and spun around to slash her. [BURST PLEASE!] The burst magic circle appeared behind Symbol and moved through her, blocking the Ravager Phantom’s chainsaw. [CAST THE SPELL!] With her transformation into the Burst Style complete, Symbol pressed the left Shift Lever three times. [MAGICAL TOUCH GO!] After which she scanned the Burst Ring again. [BURST! A RANK SPELL!] A wall of rock burst from the ground and cut her off from the Ravager Phantom. It wave a roar of anger as it started to cut the wall down with its chainsaw.

As the Ravager Phantom started to break through, Symbol pressed the right Shift Lever. [MAGIC TOUCHIE HENSHIN!] She scanned the Steam and Radiation Rings across the Wizard Driver’s Hand Author. [STEAM RADIATION PLEASE!] The two magic circles appeared behind her and moved through Symbol right as the Ravager Phantom broke through the wall. It set itself on fire and swung at Symbol as she pressed the right Shift Lever once more. [MAGIC TOUCHIE GO!] Then she scanned her right glove across the Wizard Driver’s Hand Author. [STEAM MAGIC PLEASE!] Just as the chainsaw made contact, Symbol’s body broke down into steam and moved around the deadly blade before she turned solid behind the Ravager Phantom.

Then Symbol pressed the right Shift Lever twice. [MAGIC TOUCHIE GO!] Before scanning her right glove across the Wizard Driver’s Hand Author. [RADIATION MAGIC PLEASE!] Symbol held up her left glove as the Ravager Phantom turned around and fired a stream of green radiation from it that sent the Phantom flying back through the air. The beam had the added benefit of igniting explosions across the Ravager Phantom’s body.

With the Ravager Phantom having been thrown a good distance away, Symbol was able to press the right Shift Lever three times. [MAGIC TOUCHIE GO!] Then she scanned her right glove across the Wizard Driver’s Hand Author as the Ravager Phantom weakly pulled itself back to its feet. [STEAM RADIATION MAGIC PLEASE!] Instead of attack, Symbol hit the right Shift Lever four more times. [MAGIC TOUCHIE GO! VERY NICE!] Then she scanned the Steam and Radiation Rings. [STEAM RADIATION MAGIC! THE BEST!] Symbol held up her right glove as a pair of orbs appeared in the air, one of them was made of green radiation and the other was comprised of white cloud. “Steam Radiation Crusher!” shouted Symbol. The two orbs were fired in a pair of streams that wound together into a hexal. As the attack approached the Ravager Phantom the hexal unwound and the two streams approached the Phantom from either side, crushing it between them and causing it to explode.

“This is bad,” muttered Dante as he ran away from a trio of Rage Phantoms that were looking to turn him into mush. “I’ve got no choice!” he slipped on the Trigger Ring before remembering Kate’s advice. He turned the ring so that the angel and dragon wings were reversed before punching it into his Driver’s left slot. [TRIGGER!] Dante turned his wrist back then forwards making his Driver’s gate close and then open again. [GO ANGEL!] A light blue energy construct of a Gem Maiden appeared and forced the Rage Phantom’s back before embracing Dante. [AN-AN-AN-ANGEL!] In a flash of light blue light his body transformed into his second Upgraded Form.

It was identical to his Devil Trigger form but everything that was black before was white, everything that had been blood red was light blue and everything that had been flame red was now wind blue. The face on his chest plate looked like that of an angelic woman rather than a demonic male. The Rebellion Magnum had undergone the same colour changes and had two smaller barrels instead of one large barrel.

This is Kamen Rider Dante Angel Trigger Style and he is armed with the Rebellion Mangum Angel Mode!

Dante took aim and started firing at the Rage Phantoms. The Rebellion Mangum spat out a barrage of bullets rather than the cannon like bursts it had before. One of the Rage Phantom’s was able to get through the barrage and aimed to smash Dante, only for him to vanish and appear behind them in a burst of light blue light. While the Devil Trigger Style might have high defence and strong attacks, the Angel Trigger Style had high speed and rapid attacks.

Dante punched the Angel Ring into the back of the Rebellion Magnum. [ANGEL ONE!] The holographic light blue number one appeared to the side of the Rebellion Magnum’s skull. [MAGNUM STRIKE!] Dante took aim as he held down the trigger for several seconds letting ten rings of mana appear in the air and get pulled into the Rebellion Magnum. [MAGNUM STRIKE!] Dante let go of the trigger. [ANGEL!] The Rebellion magnum fired a trio of light blue beams that transformed into Rebellion Blade constructs. They shot through the air and sent the Rage Phantom’s shooting into the air and through the roof where they exploded.

“And I can’t even use my new power against this ting!” whined Symbol as she dodged back from a Tyrant Phantom’s charge. She swapped the Burst Ring for the Giga Ring and pressed the left Shift Lever. [MAGICAL TOUCH HENSHIN!] Symbol scanned the Giga Ring over the Wizard Driver’s Hand Author. [GIGA PLEASE!] The giga magic circle appeared under her boots and rose up through Symbol. [BREAK THROUGH!] Transforming her into the Giga Style as she pressed the left Shift Lever three times. [MAGICAL TOUCH SPELL!] The Tyrant Phantom set itself on fire and charged at her as Symbol scanned the Giga Ring again. [GIGA A RANK SPELL!] Symbol raised up both of her arms and caught the Tyrant Phantom stopping it after sliding back several feet.

As the two of them struggled to overpower the other, Symbol pressed the left Shift Lever twice. [MAGICAL TOUCH SPELL!] With great difficulty she scanned the Giga Ring. [GIGA C RANK SPELL!] Symbol pulled back her left fist as it was covered in green magical energy and punched the Phantom sending skidding backwards.

Symbol added the Hammer and Quake Rings to her right index and middle fingers before pressing the right Shift Lever. [MAGIC TOUCHIE HENSHIN!] She scanned the two rings across the Wizard Driver’s Hand Author. [HAMMER QUAKE PLEASE!] Symbol held her right glove down to the ground and the two magic circles appeared under her boots before rising up through her, transforming her into the Giga Style. Symbol grabbed the Piston Hammer as it appeared and watched the Tyrant Phantom charge. She hit the right Shift Lever once. [MAGIC TOUCHIC GO!] Symbol scanned her right glove across the Wizard Driver’s Hand Author. [HAMMER MAGIC PLEASE!] The pistons on the Piston Hammer pulled back as Symbol pulled the Piston Hammer back. At the last second she swung it around, hitting the Tyrant Phantom on the side of the head and sending it staggering to the side in pain.

“Now’s my chance!” shouted Symbol as she struck the right Shift Lever four times. [MAGIC TOUCHIC GO! VERY NICE!] She scanned her right glove across the Wizard Driver’s Hand Author. [HAMMER QUAKE MAGIC! THE BEST!] The Piston Hammer was covered in black magic energy as she pulled it back and a construct of black spikes covered it. “Spike Hammer!” shouted Symbol as she jumped into the air and slammed the Piston Hammer down making sparks come from the impact point as the Tyrant Phantom exploded.

Before Symbol had a chance to see how Dante was doing, another Tyrant Phantom burst from the ground. “Oh come on!” shouted Symbol as she added the Punch and Drill Rings to hr right glove. [MAGIC TOUCHIE HENSHIN!] Symbol hit the right Shift Lever and scanned her right glove across the Wizard Driver’s Hand Author. [PUNCH DRILL PLEASE!] The punch and drill magic circles appeared under her boots and rose up through Symbol, transforming her into the Giga Punch Drill Style. As the Tyrant Phantom lit itself on fire, Symbol hit the right Shift Lever twice. [MAGIC TOUCHIC GO!] The Tyrant Phantom charged as Symbol scanned her right glove. [DRILL MAGIC PLEASE!] She pulled back her right fist and slammed it into the ground, out of which burst a wall of drills that stopped the Tyrant Phantom’s advance.

Or at least it should have.

The Tyrant Phantom broke through the wall with ease and slammed into Symbol, sending her flying into a wall, which she slid down painfully. “I am not going to lose to you!” shouted Symbol as she pressed the right Shift Lever once. [MAGIC TOUCHIC GO!] She scanned her right glove across the Wizard Driver’s Hand Author. [PUNCH MAGIC PLEASE!] Both of her fists burst into flame as she jumped at the Phantom and punched it across the face making it stumble back before she kept up the combo, steadily driving the Tyrant Phantom back while giving it no room to counter.

Suddenly, a shadow appeared over Symbol. She looked up. “YOU HAVE GOT TO BE KIDDING ME!” a second Tyrant Phantom body slammed her. The situation got worse as the first Tyrant Phantom jumped on top of her.

[TOUCH TO ADVANCE YOUR CLASS!] “Sorry Dante,” came Symbol’s voice from under the pile. [ADVANCE PLEASE!] “But now I need to use this!” with that the surprised Tyrant Phantom’s were thrown off Symbol to reveal her in her Advance Style. She ran forwards while pressing the left Shift Lever once. [TOUCH TO CAST THE NEXT LEVEL!] Then she scanned the Advance Ring across the Wizard Driver’s Hand Author. [ADVANCE C TIER SPELL!] Her left glove was covered in yellow magical energy as she jumped into the air and uppercutted one of the Tyrant Phantom’s into the air. The other Tyrant Phantom tried to swat her out of the air but Symbol dodged and ran up its arm to belt it across the face, sending it flying backwards through the air.

Symbol ran to the first Tyrant Phantom as it made the mistake of rolling onto its stomach. She hit the left Shift Lever twice. [TOUCH TO CAST THE NEXT LEVEL!] Symbol scanned the Advance Ring across the Wizard Driver’s Hand Author as she leapt into the air. [ADVANCE B TIER SPELL!] Her elbow was covered with yellow energy as she came back down and slammed her elbow into the Tyrant Phantom’s back making an explosion go off as the Tyrant Phantom gave a loud bellow of pain.

The Phantom got back up and tried to hit Symbol with a back hand, but she ducked under it as she pressed the left Shift Lever three times. [TOUCH TO CAST THE NEXT LEVEL!] Then jumped over a sweep as she scanned her left glove. [ADVANCE A TIER SPELL!] Symbol jumped up and punched the Phantom in the face twice, sending it staggering backwards with sparks coming from its head.

Symbol hit the left Shift Lever four times. [TOUCH TO CAST THE NEXT LEVEL! VERY NICE!] Then she scanned her left glove across the Wizard Driver’s Hand Author. [ADVANCE S TIER SPELL! THE BEST!] She grabbed the Tyrant Phantom and covered it in silver magical energy before throwing it at the other Tyrant Phantom, which she had hit considerable harder and was only just starting to get up. The Phantom’s eyes widened as its fellow Tyrant Phantom turned silver projectile slammed into it, pinning it to the ground. “Advance Hammer!” its eyes went wide as Symbol jumped into the air, covered in silver magical energy that threw a hammer blow that smashed the two Phantoms to pieces and caused them to explode.

Symbol clutched her head in pain before her arms dropped to the side and the outside of her visors turned silver.

Dante saw this. “No you don’t!” he punched the Trigger Ring into the back of the Rebellion Magnum. [ANGEL THREE!] A holographic light blue three appeared in front of the Rebellion Magnum’s skull. [MAGNUM STRIKE!] Dante held down the trigger for several seconds, letting ten rings of light blue mana appear from the air and get pulled into the Rebellion Magnum, charging it. [MAGNUM STRIKE!] Dante let go of the trigger. [ANGEL!] Out of the Rebellion Magnum zoomed three blasts of energy that shifted into constructs of the Rebellion Blade which slammed into Symbol’s back, igniting a giant explosion across her back plate.

[MAGICAL TOUCH HENSHIN!] [GIGA PLEASE!] [BREAK THROUGH!] Symbol tumbled out of the explosion, her body flashed as she transformed back into the Giga Style from the damage.

“Sunset!” shouted Dante as he ran over to her. “Are you ok?”

“I’ve been better,” muttered Symbol.

“What were you thinking?” demanded Dante. “I would have been able to help you!”

“Because I don’t want to have to rely on you!” snapped out Symbol as she shoved Dante off and ran to the edge of the building.

“Ruby! Wait!” shouted Dante.

Symbol stopped.

“I’m sorry, I shouldn’t have said that!”

“It’s,” began Symbol before steadying herself. “It’s fine. You were just trying to look out for me and I’m still a bit shaken up from seeing mom,” she admitted with a bit of sadness in her voice.

“So am I,” added Dante.

“All is forgiven and I’m sorry for shouting at you,” added Symbol.

“Accepted.”

[MAGICAL TOUCH HENSHIN!] [ACTIVE PLEASE!] [LET’S GO!] Symbol transformed into the Active Style. [MAGIC TOUCHIE HENSHIN!] [BOOST DEFEND PLEASE!] Then into the Active Boost Style. [MAGIC TOUCHIE GO!] [BOOST MAGIC PLEASE!] “Come on Dante!” she shouted as she jumped to three pieces of rubble before landing on a larger piece of the statue that had been broken off.

Then she jumped over and landed next to Phineas with Dante landed next to her back in his Angel Style.

They walked up to the old Phantom.

“That was wild,” commented Dante.

“You act like you had fun fighting me in berserker mode,” commented Symbol with a slight growl.

Dante winced. “Sorry, I shouldn’t have said that.”

Symbol sighed. “It’s fine. I know what you meant.”

“Thanks,” replied Dante.

“Come here,” requested the old Phantom.

“What is it?” asked Dante as they approached.

Phineas glanced at the two new rings. “I see that you have found your Upgraded Forms,” he commented.

“And they rock!” commented Dante.

“Yours does,” growled Symbol.

“But you have yet to discover your full potential,” commented Phineas.

“What do you mean by that?” asked Dante in confusion.

Symbol was just as confused as her brother.

“You’ll find out in time,” replied Phineas simply.

“Why can’t you just tell us?” asked Symbol.

“For two reasons,” replied Phineas.

“We’re listening,” replied Dante.

“One I have seen the future and in every alternate timeline in which I tell you, you both end up dying before beating Wiseman.”

Both of them winced.

“And two, it’s fun,” finished Phineas.

Both of the Kamen Rider’s face vaulted.

“Mainly, I just want to kill the Phantom King named Wiseman,” argued Dante.

“And if you do kill Wiseman, then who will take his place?” asked Phineas.

Neither of them had an answer as they followed Phineas.
> S1E11 Bob Barbas
> --------------------------------------------------------------------------

“I am no longer suited for battle,” explained Phineas as he walked with Dante and Symbol. “I cannot proceed,” he finished.

“Thank you, Phineas,” replied Dante.

“It wasn’t quite a favour,” replied Phineas.

“Yeah,” replied Symbol. “It was repayment for us getting your eye back from the Phantoms.”

“That and I want to see Wiseman destroyed. Now I believe that you may stand a chance,” he explained.

“What made you change your mind?” Dante wanted to know.

The Phantom stopped walking and turned towards the two of them. “You were right. You are not just like your father. I see your mother in you two.”

“I don’t think that's what he meant,” injected Symbol.

Phineas continued. “You want to hit Wiseman hard? This is how. Wiseman has power almost beyond limit. But, he has one single weakness.”

“He has a weakness?” questioned Dante.

“Now this I’ve got to hear!” stated Symbol.

“Yes. His mistress, Lilith,” explained Phineas. “One of the females that sold out her planet in exchange for being spared from the invasion of her homeworld and a place power among the Phantoms.”

“His weakness is that he loves her?” demanded Dante in disbelief with Symbol sharing his doubt.

Phineas burst out laughing. “Wiseman? Love? No, my friends,” he turned back to the siblings. “Yet, she has recently become the most important thing in creation to him. This is what I have seen. Lilith, his mistress, carries his child. His heir.” 

Their faces would have shown shock, had they been in their human form.

“You want to hurt Wiseman? Kill Lilith. Kill the child. Nothing will hurt him more. But be warned, the fury of Wiseman is boundless. My of thousands could perish,” with that the Phantom used his eye to repair the bridge in front of them and vanished. “Good hunting, young ones.”

“Dante if you even think about doing that then I will make you wish Wiseman had killed you,” deadpanned Symbol.

“Why shouldn’t we?” demanded Dante. “Wiseman killed our mother and father, why not kill his child?!”

“Because then we’d be as bad as Wiseman, if not worse!” shouted Symbol. 

That brought Dante up cold.

“Wiseman has been hunting us both down because we’re a threat and because we’re our parent's children. If we kill an unborn child just because he is the heir of Wiseman then how are we any different?!” with that Symbol walked down the bridge with Dante following, still deep in thought.

It took them a second to realise that they were upside down!

“Ok, now this is weird!” shouted Symbol.

Suddenly the light from the prison tower spotted them and energy started to gather around the part of the town that was emitting the light.

“That's not good,” muttered Symbol.

“No kidding!” shouted Dante as a laser beam shot out of the tower destroying the part of the bridge that was in front of them, resulting the whole thing flipping back the right way around. “Good. We’ve finally got his attention,” smirked Dante.

“How is that a good thing?!” demanded Symbol.

[SET!] [OPEN!] [O-S-I-R-I-S!] Dante transformed into his Angel Style. [KICK STRIKE GO!] He kicked off the air and streaked forwards while covered in the light blue wind. He landed on a piece of the bridge that was floating in the storm that the Slip Dimension had transformed into. Dante jumped over another beam and boosted forwards, landing on another piece of the bridge with his sister.

Right as the tower fired another beam that turned the platform they were just on to ash.

“That was close!” shouted Symbol.

“Yeah, look out!” shouted Dante as the beam started to turn the platform they were on to ash. [KICK STRIKE GO!] He jumped off the platform. [HOOK MODE!] He transformed the Osiris Scythe into the Angel Lift and hooked to a pair of rocks before landing on another platform after boosting off the air.

“WOAH!” shouted Dante as the beam swung around and clipped the platform, causing it to tilt downwards. Both of them were forced to slide down it and land on the next platform. 

They ran along the platform, outrunning the beam and hooking or jumping to another pair of rocks before sliding down another slop that was once a piece of the bridge.

The beam turned half of it to ash and forced them to slide over to avoid falling off. 

Dante hooked onto a rock, then onto another rock and unhooked from it right before the beam disintegrated it. Dante hooked onto another rock then onto the TV screen and pulled himself towards it.

“DANTE WHAT ARE YOU DOING?!” shouted Symbol as she followed her brother into the TV screen.

They were both shocked when the phased into the TV!

When their visors adjusted they found themselves in a long tunnel with the words ‘RAPTOR NEWS NETWORK’ moving from one end to the other and circling around the tunnel. At the end of the tunnel was a black spinning globe with the water being black and the countries being red. It was circled by the words ‘RAPTOR NEWS NETWORK’ with the first word being blue and the other two being white. The platform they were standing on looked like a white cloud. 

“...I wasn’t expecting this,” stated Symbol after several seconds of looking around. 

“Me neither,” replied Dante.

Symbol jumped to another platform that looked like a white cloud, before jumping up to a third platform and then down to a fourth one. Each jump had required a flap of the Flight Wings.

[MAGICAL TOUCH HENSHIN!] [ACTIVE PLEASE!] [LET’S GO!] Symbol transformed into the Active Style. [MAGIC TOUCHIE HENSHIN!] [BOOST DEFEND PLEASE!] Then she changed into the Active Boost Defend Style. [MAGIC TOUCHIE GO!] [BOOST MAGIC PLEASE!] Purple magical energy ran into the Boost Grieves as Symbol jumped into a small white square and then off it towards another platform.

[MAGIC TOUCHIE GO!] [DEFEND MAGIC PLEASE!] Symbol realized the platform was too far as she threw the Defend Shield and it was covered in grey magical energy, hovering for several seconds as she jumped off it and landed on the other cloud.

[MAGICAL TOUCH HENSHIN!] [SWIFT PLEASE!] [DASH AWAY!] Symbol transformed back into the Swift Style. [MAGIC TOUCHIE HENSHIN!] [WING SNIPER PLEASE!] Then into the Swift Wing Sniper Style before using the Flight Wings to clear the next jump. She jumped to another platform before realizing the third was too high to reach with the Flight Wings.

[MAGICAL TOUCH HENSHIN!] [ACTIVE PLEASE!] [LET’S GO!] Symbol transformed into the Active Style. [MAGIC TOUCHIE HENSHIN!] [BOOST DEFEND PLEASE!] Not even a second later she transformed into the Active Boost Defend Style. [MAGIC TOUCHIE GO!] [BOOST MAGIC PLEASE!] Symbol ran forwards as purple magical energy ran into the Boost Grieves, she jumped into the air and landed firmly on the platform.

Symbol jumped to a white cube, then across to a second white cube before realising the jump was far too long for her to make. [MAGIC TOUCHIE GO!] [DEFEND MAGIC PLEASE!] Symbol charged the Defend Shield with grey magical energy as she threw her shield forwards and landed on it before jumping off and landing on the next solid platform.

“Are we supposed to go inside that thing?” asked Symbol.

“Apparently,” replied Dante as he landed beside her.

Neither of them moved.

“Ladies first,” offered Dante.

“Age before beauty,” replied Symbol.

“Har de har har,” replied Dante as he hooked onto the planet and jumped into it.

Symbol followed with a boosted jump.

They landed inside a giant dome-shaped room with various news windows orbiting it. On the blue holographic floor was six blank circles with lines leading from them into a single point in the centre of the room.

“..Where’s Bob!!” demanded Dante after several seconds.

“How should I know?” demanded Symbol in retort. 

Suddenly, three of the six circles started to feed red energy into the point where the lines met before the other three joined them For several seconds the energy gathered until five of the circles went out and a giant version of Bob’s head appeared, made of TV screens and gave a demonic laugh.

“Wait a minute!” shouted Symbol. “The Phantom and spies on the human world is a giant head?!” 

“Apparently, now we know why he acts like he has such a big head! He really does a have a big head!” mocked Dante.

Symbol groaned at the lame joke.

“This is Bob Barbas, just doing god’s work,” shouted the Phantom in a demonic voice that would have been rather scary to any human.

It’s a good thing that Symbol and Dante were not human.

A screen with Bob’s human body appeared in front of the Phantom. His human form was shown sitting behind a news desk.

“Hey Bob, put a spin on this,” Dante gave the Phantom the middle finger.

“My personal view on the terrorists,” began Bob Barbas. “Is that they are disgusting, degrading, ghastly, sleazy, prurient and generally nauseating,” he finished his stream of insults. “The worst of them are Dante and Sunset. The whole world would benefit greatly from their non-exitances.”

“We’re taking you off the air!” Symbol threatened Bob Barbas as she pointed the Active Blade at his human form.

“You think so?” questioned Bob.

“Yeah, we do!” replied Dante.

“I wouldn't bet on it! You little shits!” replied Bob. Unlike the Succubus Phantom, he was very calm in the face of danger.

Then again, he was of the miss guiding belief that he could kill both of the Kamen Rider’s with no trouble and be greatly rewarded by Wiseman.

Wiseman would probably kill Bob himself for robbing him of his revenge.

Yellow pixel like energy gathered around Bob before he fired it out in a circle that had several holes in it. Symbol pressed the right Shift Lever once as she jumped through one of the holes. [MAGIC TOUCHIE GO!] She flew towards Bob Barbas as she scanned her right glove across the Wizard Driver’s Hand Author. [WING MAGIC PLEASE!] Silver energy covered Symbol’s Flight Wings as she shot forwards, leaving two trails of silver light. She slashed at Bob Barbas with one of the Flight Wings only to pass straight through him! “What on earth?!” shouted Symbol.

“Ha ha ha! I am a servant of the great Wiseman! Your attacks cannot hurt me!” with that Bob fired a beam of blue digital energy at Symbol. She was forced to fly out of the way as the beam started to track her.

“Dante! A little help here!” shouted Symbol as she pressed the left Shift Lever twice. [MAGICAL TOUCH GO!] Before scanning the Swift Ring. [SWIFT! B RANK SPELL!] Her body was covered in yellow magical energy as she shot forwards at high speed, outrunning the beam for a few seconds before it started to pick up speed.

“I’m on it sis!” shouted Dante as he changed the Angel Ring for the Eryx Ring and punched it into his Driver’s left slot. [SET!] Dante turned his wrist back to make his Driver’s gate close, before turning it forwards making his Driver’s gate spring open. [OPEN!] The eryx magic circle appeared from Dante’s Driver and moved back through him, transforming Dante into the Eryx Style. [E-R-Y-X!] Dante jumped into the air as he punched the Eryx Ring into the back of the right Eryx Gauntlet. [FIVE!] The holographic dice appeared before stopping on a five. [FIST STRIKE!] Dante jumped into the air and punched down on the lit red circle.

“ARGH!” shouted Bob as he felt that hit and struggled to keep up the beam.

“Whatever you just did, do it again!” shouted Symbol as her yellow mana started to flicker and she started to slow down.

Dante nodded as he jumped into the air again and pressed the trigger inside the left Eryx Gauntlet. [FIST STRIKE!] Red magical energy covered him and formed into a construct of the left Eryx Gauntlet as he went shooting down and slammed the attack on the button again.

“ARGH!” screamed Bob Barbas as his head went from red to blue.

“Now’s our chance!” shouted Symbol as she turned in the air and pulled out the Swift Blaster, opening its Hand Author. [COME ON A BLAST SHAKE HANDS!] Symbol scanned the Swift Ring across it as she continued to circle Bob Barbas, picking up speed. [SWIFT! BLASTER STRIKE!] Symbol fired a barrage of yellow bullets from the Swift Blaster. “Bullet Barrage!” shouted Symbol as she picked up speed to the point she looked like a yellow circle surrounding Bob Barbas with yellow magical bullets hitting him from all directions at once.

Suddenly, Bob Barbas unleashed a pulse of energy that sent Symbol flying back as she smashed into a wall.

“Sunset!” shouted Dante in concern for his sister.

“I’m fine!” shouted Symbol. “I saw what you did! I’ll hit the switch this time! You keep him busy!” she ordered her brother as she spread the Flight Wings and flew into the air, hoping that Dante could keep Bob off her. 

Dante pulled out Ebony and Ivory, holding down on their triggers. Two red rings were pulled into each of them while a black ring was pulled into Ebony and a white ring was sucked into Ivory’s barrel. [EBONY AND IVORY STRIKE!] Dante let go of the triggers, firing a red and white bullet that spiralled around each other to form a drill effect. “Spinning Fist!” shouted Dante as the drill effect caught fire. It flew through Bob, doing no damage but still got his attention as he fired a massive blue beam of digital energy at Dante. 

Dante started running but the beam quickly began to catch up. He switched the Eryx Ring for the Angel Ring and punched it into his Driver’s left slot. [SET!] Dante turned his wrist back before twisting it forwards making his Driver’s gate snap shut before springing open. [OPEN!] The angel magic circle appeared from Dante’s Driver and he ran through it. [O-S-I-R-I-S!] Emerging in the Angel Style as he punched the Angel Ring into his Driver’s left slot a second time. [KICK STRIKE GO!] Dante was covered in the light blue wind as he kicked the air behind him and boosted forwards, but the beam only lost a bit of ground and started keeping pace with him.

Symbol switched the Swift Ring for the Giga Ring and pressed the left Shift Lever. [MAGICAL TOUCH HENSHIN!] She scanned the Giga Ring across the Wizard Drivers Hand Author. [GIGA PLEASE!] The giga magic circle appeared under her boots and rose up through her. [BREAK THROUGH!] Even as the transformation was taking place, Symbol added the Hammer and Quake Rings to her right index and ring fingers then hit the right Shift Lever. [MAGIC TOUCHIE HENSHIN!] She swiped her right glove. [HAMMER QUAKE PLEASE!] The hammer and quake magic circles appeared under her boots and rose up through her, transforming Symbol into the Giga Hammer Quake Style. She reached down and slammed her glove down on the right Shift Lever once. [MAGIC TOUCHIC GO!] Then swiped her right glove across it. [HAMMER MAGIC PLEASE!] The Piston Hammer was covered in black magic energy as Symbol pulled it back and slammed it on the button.

“ARGH!” screamed Bob Barbas in pain as his body sparked and turned blue, forcing him to cut off the beam. 

“I’m on it!” shouted Dante as he closed the distance between himself and Bob Barbas. He punched the Angel Ring into the back of the Osiris Scythe’s blade. [TWO!] Which opened to show a pair of light blue circles. [ANGEL SCYTHE STRIKE!] Dante spun the Osiris Scythe like a vertical propeller, cutting into the Bob Barbas Phantom repeatedly and making sparks explode from each cut. Then he reversed the direction of the Osiris Scythe doing even more damage to the Phantom.

Dante pressed down on the Osiris Scythe’s trigger. [ANGEL SCYTHE STRIKE!] Like blue energy ran up the Osiris Scythe’s shaft and into its blade as Dante spun it like a vertical propeller before reversing the direction of the Osiris Scythe. “Prop Shredder!” he fired a pair of vertical light blue disks that sawed into the Phantom making sparks explode from its face.

Bob had enough and let off a pulse of red energy that sent Dante flying backwards, sparks flew from his armour as the blast did a lot of damage thanks to him being in a speed based armour.

“Dante!” shouted Symbol.

“I’m fine!” shouted Dante back as he got back up.

Bob gave a roar as he started to charge up purple energy around himself. 

“Be careful!” warned Symbol. “I think this is a new attack!” 

“You think?!” demanded Dante, right as Bob fired two green beams that slammed together, sandwiching the two Kamen Rider’s between them.

“ARGH!” shouted the two Kamen Rider’s as sparks exploded from their armour and pain shot through their bodies.

“HA! I got you that time!” shouted Bob Barbas in glee.

“Yeah, well your not going to get us again!” shouted Symbol in anger as she got back to her boots. She changed the Hammer and Quake Rings for the Punch and Drill Rings before pressing the right Shift Lever. [MAGIC TOUCHIE HENSHIN!] Then he scanned his right glove across the Wizard Driver’s Hand Author before holding it down to the ground. [PUNCH DRILL PLEASE!] The two magic circles appeared and rose up through Symbol transforming her into the Giga Punch Drill Style.

“Bring it on!” Bob charged a circle of green digital energy around himself and fired two green beams of energy that slammed closed around the Kamen Rider’s.

Just before the beams could hit, Symbol hit the right Shift Lever three times. [MAGIC TOUCHIC GO!] Then she scanned her right glove. [PUNCH DRILL MAGIC PLEASE!] Red flames and purple magical energy covered her arms before transforming into a pair of drills. Symbol punched outwards and the drills made contact with the beams, stopping both of them. “Dante go!” shouted Symbol as she struggled to hold the beams back. “While I can still hold them! Hurry!” 

“I’m on it!” shouted Dante as he jumped over the beams and ran to the first circle shaped button that was glowing red and feeding energy into Bob Barbas. He changed the Angel Ring for the Eryx Ring and punched it into his Driver’s left slot. [SET!] Dante turned his wrist back then twisted it forwards, making his Driver’s gate close before opening again. [OPEN!] The eryx magic circle appeared from Dante’s Driver and he ran through it. [E-R-Y-X!] This transformed him into the Eryx Style as he jumped into the air and pressed the Eryx Ring into the back of the right Eryx Gauntlet. [FIVE!] The dice appeared and rolled before stopping on a five. [FIST STRIKE!] Then Dante pressed the trigger inside the left Eryx Gauntlet. [FIST STRIKE!] Red energy gathered around him and formed into a construct of the left Eryx Gauntlet. “Stomp!” Dante went shooting down and slammed his construct into the button, triggering it and causing Bob Barbas to flinch in pain and anger from it. 

But the beams did not stop.

“Dante what did you do! He isn’t stopping!” shouted Symbol.

“I don’t know! All I did was hit the button!” yelled Dante.

“HAHAHA! YOU CAN’T STOP ME! I AM UNSTOPPABLE!” shouted Bob Barbas as the beams continued to crush Symbol making her shout out in pain as the drills started to lose their speed and power from the friction.

Dante looked around desperately and then he saw another button feeding energy into Bob Barbas. “Why you big sneaky!” he ran towards it.

Bob Barbas was to busy attacking Symbol to notice.

Dante jumped into the air as he pressed the Eryx Ring into the back of the right Eryx Gauntlet again. [FIVE!] The dice appeared again on a five. [FIST STRIKE!] Dante pressed the Eryx Ring into the left slot of his Driver. [GO! KICK STRIKE!] Burning crimson flames covered his right boot and formed into a construct of the left Eryx Gauntlet. “Drop!” shouted Dante as he went shooting down and slammed his boot into the button with all the force he had.

“ARGH!” shouted Bob Barbas as his head turned blue and the beams cut off, stopping them from crushing Symbol.

“Now’s my chance!” shouted Symbol as she ran forwards towards Bob Barbas. She hit the right Shift Lever four times. [MAGIC TOUCHIC GO! VERY NICE!] Then scanned the Punch and Drill Rings across the Wizard Driver’s Hand Author. [PUNCH DRILL MAGIC! THE BEST!] Symbol ran forwards as the drills appeared on both of her gloves before the right drill merged with the left drill making it grow in length before it ballooned in size. “Merged Giga Drill Breaker!” shouted Symbol as she rammed her giant drill into Bob’s head making sparks explode from it.

Bob Barbas screamed in pain and built up red energy that threw Symbol backwards but she was able to turn in the air and land on her boots.

Seeing that Bob’s head was still blue and vulnerable Symbol pulled out the Giga Spear and then pulled open its Hand Author. [COME ON A STAB SHAKE HANDS!] She scanned her Giga Ring across it. [GIGA! STAB STRIKE!] Symbol spun the Giga Spear around for several seconds, letting green magical energy gather around it. “Piercing Giga!” she stabbed forwards, firing a blast of green magic energy that slammed into Bob’s face and made sparks explode from the impact point as he shouted in pain.

Bob Barbas fired a huge burst of red energy that forced the two Kamen Rider’s back before the energy was absorbed into his head, turning it red once more. Then he charged up yellow energy before firing it out in a giant wall that circled around him and slowly grew outwards toward Symbol and Dante.

“This time I’ll hold it! Get to the switches!” shouted Dante as he changed the Eryx Ring for the Nephilim Ring and punched it into his Driver’s left slot. [SET!] He turned his wrist back, then forwards making his Driver’s gate close and open. [OPEN!] The nephilim magic circle appeared from Dante’s Driver and moved back through him. [N-E-P-H-I-L-I-M!] Transforming Dante into the Nephilim Style. He slammed the Nephilim Ring into the slot at the base of the Rebellion Blade’s handle. [FIVE!] The mouth opened to reveal five red and blue circles. [NEPHILIM SABER STRIKE!] Dante pressed down on the Rebellion Blade’s trigger. [NEPHILIM SABER STRIKE!] Red and blue energy ran down the Rebellion Blade as Dante charged. “Stinger!” he slammed the tip of the Rebellion Blade into the wall and for several seconds held it back before it started to force him backwards. “Hurry up Sunset!” shouted Dante.

“I’m going as fast as I can!” shouted Symbol as she switched the Giga Ring for the Active Ring and punched the left Shift Lever. [MAGICAL TOUCH HENSHIN!] Then she scanned her left glove across the Wizard Driver’s Hand Author. [ACTIVE PLEASE!] Symbol held her left glove out to the side and the active magic circle moved through her. [LET’S GO!] Now that she was in the Active Style she pulled the Active Blade off her back plate and pulled open its Hand Author. [COME ON A SLASH SHAKE HANDS!] She scanned the Active Ring. [ACTIVE! SLASH STRIKE!] Red lightning covered the Active Blade as Symbol jumped into the air. “Red Slash!” with that she stabbed the Active Blade into the button and Bob roared in pain from it.

“Sunset! Go to the next one!” shouted Dante as his boots were struggling to find grip as he was forced back. 

“I’m on it!” shouted Symbol as she ran to the next glowing red button. She added the Boost and Defend Rings to her right glove before pressing the right Shift Lever. [MAGIC TOUCHIE HENSHIN!] She scanned her right glove across the Wizard Driver’s Hand Author. [BOOST DEFEND PLEASE!] Symbol held her right arm out to the right and the two magic circle unfolded before moving through her. Symbol hit the right Shift Lever once more. [MAGIC TOUCHIE GO!] Then she scanned her glove again making purple magical energy run into the Boost Grieves. [BOOST MAGIC PLEASE!] Symbol jumped into the air and hit the right Shift Lever four more times. [MAGIC TOUCHIE GO! VERY NICE!] Then Symbol scanned the Boost and Defend Rings once more. [BOOST DEFEND MAGIC! THE BEST!] She twisted around and jumped down off a platform of purple magic that appeared in the air. “Air Step!” she rocketed down and slammed her boots into the glowing red button, shutting it down.

Bob Barbas gave a loud roar of pain as his attack on Dante stopped.

“Leave this to me!” shouted Dante as he ran forwards towards the floating head thing Phantom.

“If you say so,” shrugged Symbol.

“I do!” shouted Dante.

“I never said you didn’t!” snapped back Symbol.

Dante punched the Nephilim Ring into the slot at the bottom of the Rebellion Blade’s hilt. [ONE!] The mouth opened to show a single red and blue dot. [NEPHILIM SABER STRIKE!] Dante’s Rebellion Blade glowed as he pressed the trigger. [NEPHILIM SABER STRIKE!] The Rebellion Blade’s eye’s flashed as it was shrouded in red and blue energy. “High Time!” Dante slashed upwards with the Rebellion Blade, cutting into Bob Barbas and making sparks explode from his body. 

Dante quickly punched the Nephilim Ring into his Driver’s left slot. [GO! KICK STRIKE!] Red and blue magical energy covered his boot as he came shooting down like a comet. “Helm Breaker!” shouted Dante as he slammed the back of his shin down onto Bob Barbas making more sparks explode from him as the Phantom yelled out in pain.

Bob Barbas let loose a pulse of red energy as he tried to knock Dante back, but the Kamen Rider jumped back, avoiding the energy before closing the distance and getting back into sword range.

Dante slotted the Nephilim Ring into the Rebellion Blade’s slot again. [SIX!] The single red and blue circle in the mouth turned into six. [NEPHILIM SABER STRIKE!] Dante pulled back the Rebellion Blade as he started to stab Bob Barbas over and over with rapid strikes that move so fast it looked like he had several arms. This action created a storm of sparks from the Phantom.

“My turn Dante!” shouted Symbol as she ran past her brother and switched the Active Ring for the Burst Ring and hit the left Shift Lever. [MAGICAL TOUCH HENSHIN!] Symbol scanned her left glove across the Wizard Driver’s Hand Author. [BURST PLEASE!] The burst magic circle appeared behind her and moved through Symbol. [CAST THE SPELL!] She pressed down on the left Shift Lever once. [MAGICAL TOUCH GO!] Scanned her left glove. [BURST! C RANK SPELL!] Four sparks appeared in the air around her and ignited into fireballs that shot forwards and exploded in Bob’s face making micro explosions go off around him.

Then a lock on point for a Boost Jump or Angel Lift appeared in Bob’s eye. 

[SET!] [OPEN!] [O-S-I-R-I-S!] Dante transformed into the Angel Style.

“Please don’t tell me we have to do what I think we have to,” muttered Symbol.

[HOOK MODE!] “Segue into this!” shouted Dante as he grabbed his sister, locked onto Bob’s eye and pulled them both into it.

“DANTE WHAT ON EARTH ARE YOU DOING?!” screamed Symbol as they both went into the eye.

Only to find themselves on the docks.

“What-?! How did we get back there?!” shouted Symbol in utter shock at this.

“After everything we’ve been through, this should not surprise you,” groaned Dante to his sister.

“Go point,” muttered Symbol as a horde of Lesser Blade Phantom’s burst from the ground.

Dante ran forwards as he punched the Nephilim Ring into the slot at the base of the Rebellion Blade. [THREE!] The sword’s mouth opened to show three red and blue circles. [NEPHILIM SABER STRIKE!] Dante slashed one of the Lesser Blade Phantom’s three times with the Rebellion Blade making sparks come from its body before it fell over and exploded.

Seeing that he was being surrounded, Dante switched the Nephilim Ring for the Angel Ring and slammed it into his Driver’s left slot. [SET!] He turned his wrist back to make his Driver’s gate close before turning it forwards, having his Driver’s gate spring back open. [OPEN!] The angel magic circle appeared from Dante’s Driver and moved back through him. [O-S-I-R-I-S!] Dante emerged in Angel Style as he pulled the Osiris Scythe off his back and punched the Angel Ring into the back of his scythe’s blade. [ONE!] The blade opened to show a single light blue circle. [ANGEL SCYTHE STRIKE!] Dante started spinning around, cutting into five of the Lesser Blade Phantoms making sparks come from their bodies until they exploded.

Seeing that there were more Lesser Blade Phantoms incoming, Dante pressed down on the Osiris Scythe’s trigger. [ANGEL SCYTHE STRIKE!] Light blue magical energy raced up the Osiris Scythe’s shaft and into the blade as Dante spun around, unleashing a circle of light blue magical energy that surged outwards, cutting the Phantoms in half before all of them exploded.

Dante spun around and used the Osiris Scythe’s shaft to block three blades from three more Lesser Blade Phantoms and throw them off. He punched the Angel Ring into his Driver’s left slot. [KICK STRIKE GO!] Light blue magical energy gathered around his right boot. “Karma!” shouted Dante as he spin kicked all three of them. A explosion ignited across the three Lesser Blade Phantoms as they fell over sparking and exploded.

Dante jumped into the air as another Lesser Blade Phantom charged under him. He pressed the Angel Ring into the back of the Osiris Scythe’s blade. [THREE!] The blade closed and opened to reveal an extra two light blue circles. [ANGEL SCYTHE STRIKE!] Dante extended the Osiris Scythe down and used it as a hook to pull the Lesser Blade Phantom into the air while splitting it in half.

Seeing that there were another three Lesser Blade Phantoms waiting for him to land back on the ground, Dante pressed down on the Osiris Scythe’s trigger. [ANGEL SCYTHE STRIKE!] Light blue magical energy ran up the Osiris Scythe handle and into its blade as Dante tore it through the ground. “Rake!” sending a pillar of light blue feather constructs at the Lesser Blade Phantoms which tore them to pieces.

Dante landed back on the ground. “Woah!” he was forced to duck under a slash from another Lesser Blade Phantom, while on the ground her punched the Angel Ring into his Driver’s left slot. [KICK STRIKE GO!] Light blue magical energy covered his right boot as he backflipped off the ground, kicking the Phantom in the face as he did so. “Rake!” shouted Dante as the Lesser Blade Phantom was sent shooting into the air with sparks coming from its body until it explode in the air.

Dante saw another four Lesser Blade Phantom’s charging at him, so he punched the Angel Ring into the back of the Osiris Scythe’s blade. [SIX!] Which opened to reveal six light blue dots. [ANGEL SCYTHE STRIKE!] Dante boosted forwards with the light blue wind and spun around, driving the Osiris Scythe’s blade into the three Lesser Blade Phantoms and cutting each of them in pair. Light blue lightning sparked between the halves until the Phantoms each went up in an explosion.

Dante slammed the Angel Ring into his Driver’s left slot. [KICK STRIKE GO!] He covered himself in the light blue wind and jumped forwards. “Streak!” he kicked another of the Lesser Blade Phantom’s in the chest and sent it flying backwards into another Lesser Blade Phantom where both of them went up in an explosion.

“We have here some truly shocking footage of the terrorist, known as Dante, at the Bellevue Pier recently,” come Bob’s voice from everywhere and yet nowhere at the same time.

“That’s going get really annoying, really fast!” growled Dante. He was forced to jump back as another Lesser Blade Phantom slashed at him, he pressed down on the trigger of the Osiris Scythe. [ANGEL SCYTHE STRIKE!] The Osiris Scythe was covered in light blue feather constructs that came off the blade and followed Dante. “Streak!” he hacked through over a dozen Lesser Blade Phantoms in less than a second before sparks came from their bodies and they exploded.

Dante dodged away from another three Lesser Blade Phantoms and punched the Angel Ring into the back of the Osiris Scythe’s blade. [FIVE!] Which then opened to reveal five light blue circles. [ANGEL SCYTHE STRIKE!] Dante shot forwards and spun in a circle, cutting three Lesser Blade Phantoms with the Osiris Scythe and ending on a strong downwards slash to a fourth Lesser Blade Phantom. All four of the Phantoms had sparks coming off their bodies until they each exploded.

Dante jumped into the air then pulled Ebony and Ivory from their holsters before opening fire on the Lesser Blade Phantom’ bellow him. Dante down both of their triggers as two rings of light blue magical energy were pulled into each of the hand cannons. Then a ring of white energy was pulled into Ivory while a ring of black energy was pulled into Ebony. [EBONY AND IVORY STRIKE!] Dante let go of the triggers as the hand cannons both sounded off. Out of Ebony and Ivory flew a pair of bullets with a light blue drill effect around them as they circled each other. “Falling Wrath!” shouted Dante as the bullets tore through five Lesser Blade Phantoms.

“So what is know about this Dante?” Bob continued to blather on.

Said Kamen Rider landed back on the ground as he blocked a slash with the Osiris Scythe and pressed the Angel Ring into the back of its blade. [TWO!] The blade opened to show a pair of light blue circles. [ANGEL SCYTHE STRIKE!] Dante jumped into the air before landing behind a squad of Lesser Blade Phantoms and spun the Osiris Scythe line a vertical propeller, this made a vacuum affect that pulled the Lesser Blade Phantoms into the scythe as Dante reverse directions and sliced them to pieces which then went up in four powerful explosions.

Dante leaned back. “That was close!” a Lesser Blade Phantom’s sword passed over him as Dante pressed the Angel Ring into his Driver’s left slot. [KICK STRIKE GO!] Light blue wind covered both of his boots as Dante used the left boot to kick the Lesser Blade Phantom into the air. “Prop!” Dante kicked the ground and shot past the Lesser Blade Phantom in a blue streak. “Shredder!” he spun around and kicked the Phantom back into the ground which caused it to explode from the damage.

Dante landed back on the ground and found himself surrounded by Lesser Blade Phantoms. He slammed the Angel Ring into the back of the Osiris Scythe’s blade as he used the shaft to lock up several Lesser Blade Phantom’s sword. [FOUR!] Dante forced the Lesser Blade Phantoms to back off has the scythe’s blade opened and showed four light blue circles. [ANGEL SCYTHE STRIKE!] Dante crotched as light blue wind gathered around him and then jumped into the air while spinning. The Osiris scythe generated powerful light blue wind that pulled the Lesser Blade Phantoms into the air, letting Dante cut into them repeatedly until they each exploded.

Dante slammed back into the ground and looked around when he saw what had to be thirty Lesser Blade Phantoms closing the distance. He slammed his glove down on the Osiris Scythe’s trigger. [ANGEL SCYTHE STRIKE!] Light blue magical energy surged up the shaft as Dante spun around. “Raze!” this created a circle of light blue magical energy that surged outwards after surrounding Dante and cut the Lesser Blade Phantoms that had been charging at him to pieces making each of them go up in an explosion.

However, Dante saw that the Lesser Blade Phantoms at the front had protected the Lesser Blade Phantoms at the back. He slammed his Angel Ring into his Driver’s left slot. [KICK STRIKE GO!] Dante covered his right leg in the light blue wind as he spun around. “Raze!” this fired a circle of the light blue wind that expanded around Dante and cut the Lesser Blade Phantoms to pieces making them explode.

“Several people have come forward and investigators have pieces together a shocking history of violence,” Bob Barbas continued to drone on as if either Symbol or Dante cared what he said.

[MAGICAL TOUCH HENSHIN!] Symbol changed the Burst Ring for the Swift Ring and scanned it across the Wizard Driver’s Hand Author after pressing the left Shift Lever. [SWIFT PLEASE!] The swift magic circle appeared over her helmet and she jumped up through it. [DASH AWAY!] Symbol transformed into the Swift Style and landed back on the ground as she drew the Swift Dagger then pulled open its Hand Author. [COME ON A HIT SHAKE HANDS!] Symbol dodged another slash as she scanned her left glove across the Swift Dagger’s Hand Author. [SWIFT! STAB STRIKE!] Yellow magical energy covered the weapon as Symbol stabbed the three Lesser Blade Phantoms that had been attacking her with enough speed for it to look like she had multiple arms. “Swift Barrage!” shouted Symbol right before the Phantoms exploded.

Symbol jumped back and saw that she was surrounded. “No room to run, so I’ll have to go up,” she added the Wing and Sniper Rings to her right index and ring fingers before pressing the right Shift Lever. [MAGIC TOUCHIE HENSHIN!] Then she scanned her right glove across the Wizard Driver’s Hand Author. [WING SNIPER PLEASE!] The two magic circles appeared in the air and Symbol jumped up through them, emerging in the Swift Wing Sniper Style and flapped the Flight Wings several times to keep in the air as she pressed the right Shift Lever three times. [MAGIC TOUCHIE GO!] Symbol scanned her right glove across the Wizard Driver’s Hand Author. [WING SNIPER MAGIC PLEASE!] Symbol gave the Flight Wings a strong flap and fired several feathers that took aim and transformed into a rain of light blue beams that smashed into the Phantom and caused them to explode.

Symbol spiralled up through as air as she pressed the right Shift Lever once. [MAGIC TOUCHIE GO!] Then she scanned her right glove. [WING MAGIC PLEASE!] Both of her Flight Wings were covered in silver energy as she flew down and used them to cut through ten Lesser Blade Phantoms, cutting five in half with each of her wings. She shot back into the air as they explode, preventing the rest of the Lesser Blade Phantoms from reaching her.

Symbol turned in the air as she struck the right Shift Lever four times. [MAGIC TOUCHIE GO! VERY NICE!] Both of the Flight Wings glowed with silver magic energy. [WING SNIPER MAGIC! THE BEST!] Symbol pulled them back and flapped them strongly, firing a silver spinning energy crescent that sawed its way through ten Lesser Blade Phantoms. “Wing Cutter!” shouted Symbol as the Phantoms sparked before they each went up in an explosion.

Symbol pressed the left Shift Lever twice. [MAGICAL TOUCH GO!] Then she swiped her left glove. [SWIFT! B RANK SPELL!] Her body ignited with yellow magical energy as she vanished into thin air. Several seconds later she appeared back in the air and flicked the Swift Dagger. Sparks flew from five Lesser Blade Phantoms as the delay on the damage was lifted, they fell over and exploded.

Symbol pressed the right Shift Lever twice, making the Wizard Driver’s Hand Author flip back to the right. [MAGIC TOUCHIE GO!] She scanned her right glove across it. [SNIPER MAGIC PLEASE!] The Sniper Shooter appeared in her glove as she landed back on the ground. Three Lesser Blade Phantoms charged at her, all in a line. “So stupid,” muttered Symbol as she pulled the trigger.

VERY NICE!] Symbol scanned her left glove across the Wizard Driver’s Hand Author. [SWIFT! S RANK SPELL! THE BEST!] Her body was covered in yellow magical energy as she flew around ten Lesser Blade Phantoms at extremely high speeds making her look like a yellow, silver and blue circle. “Swift Attack!” shouted Symbol as she curved inwards and punched one of the Phantom’s across the face before joining the circle again. She repeated this several times until the ten Lesser Blade Phantoms exploded.

“Time to change things up a bit,” shouted Symbol as she switched the Wing and Sniper Rings for the Arrow and Blade Rings before pressing the right Shift Lever. [MAGIC TOUCHIE HENSHIN!] Symbol scanned her right glove across the Wizard Driver’s Hand Author. [ARROW BLADE PLEASE!] The arrow and blade magic circles appeared above her helmet then fell through her. The Buzz Bow appeared in Symbol’s right glove as she hit the right Shift Lever.

“Between sixteen and seventeen he became involved in gangs, drug peddling and is believed to be responsible for over a dozen homicides.”

Symbol saw the three Lesser Blade Phantoms were closing in on her and pressed the right Shift Lever down once. [MAGIC TOUCHIE GO!] She scanned her right glove as she jumped over one of the Lesser Blade Phantoms. [ARROW MAGIC PLEASE!] Symbol landed on the ground and pulled back the Buzz Bow’s arrow before firing six blasts of wind that shaped themselves into buzz saws, cutting through the Lesser Blade Phantoms and causing them to explode after sparking for several seconds. 

Symbol then hit the left Shift Lever once, making the Wizard Driver’s Hand Author flip to the left. [MAGICAL TOUCH GO!] Symbol closed her right glove as she scanned the Swift Ring. [SWIFT! C RANK SPELL!] Symbol threw her right glove out to the side and from it came five orbs of yellow magical energy that shot forwards and slammed into a pair of Lesser Blade Phantoms making both of them explode.

“GAH!” shouted Symbol as she was struck across the back by another Lesser Blade Phantom, she slammed her glove down on the right Shift Lever twice. [MAGIC TOUCHIE GO!] Then scanned her right glove. “Your gonna pay for that!” she shouted as he spun around. [BLADE MAGIC PLEASE!] From the Buzz Bow six blasts of red magical energy were fired that took on the shape of buzzsaws. They slammed into the Lesser Blade Phantoms and in a shower of sparks cut through it, causing the Phantom to go up in a giant explosion. 

“Between sixteen and seventeen he became involved in gangs, drug peddling and is believed to be responsible for over a dozen homicides.”

“Almost finish!” growled Symbol as she pressed the right Shift Lever down four times. [MAGIC TOUCHIE GO! VERY NICE!] Symbol scanned her right glove. [ARROW BLADE MAGIC! THE BEST!] Red magical energy gathered around the Buzz Bow as Symbol fired six buzz saws that were covered in red magical energy. “Blade Cutter!” shouted Symbol as she fired six small buzz saws that were covered in red magic energy. They arced into the air as the red energy formed into a construct of a giant buzzsaw cutting through ten Lesser Blade Phantoms.

“How many of these Phantoms does Bob have?!” demanded Symbol as she pressed the left Shift Lever once. [MAGICAL TOUCH GO!] She swiped her left glove across the Wizard Driver’s Hand Author. [SWIFT! C RANK SPELL!] Symbol closed her right glove before opening it and firing five orbs of yellow magic energy that slammed into six Lesser Blade Phantoms and exploded destroying each of them in flashes of yellow light as well as loud explosions.

Suddenly, Symbol saw that she had been surrounded. “Bad move!” shouted Symbol as she struck the left Shift Lever four times. [MAGICAL TOUCH GO! VERY NICE!] Symbol scanned her left glove across the Wizard Driver’s Hand Author. [SWIFT! S RANK SPELL! THE BEST!] Five orbs of yellow magical energy appeared around Symbol before exploding into a storm of yellow bullets that caused all twenty of the Lesser Blade Phantoms around her to explode.

“Is it just me, or were those Phantoms much more fragile than usual?” Symbol muttered to herself.

“And worst of all he is also a well known cruiser in the seedier districts of the city rampantly spreading sexual disease of the unholy kind,” Bob Barbas finally finished his rather long list of complaints about Dante.

“And ain't that the best kind Bob?” shouted Dante.

“You are not helping!” hissed Symbol as they suddenly found themselves back in the dome room with Bob Barbas the head Phantoms.

Bob gave a long and loud whole as he charged a circle of purple energy around himself before firing it out in a trio of beams that swept around the room in a circle. 

“RUN!” shouted Symbol as she hit the left Shift Lever twice. [MAGICAL TOUCH GO!] Then Symbol swiped her left glove across the Wizard Driver’s Hand Author. [SWIFT! B RANK SPELL!] Her body was covered in yellow magical energy as she sprinted away from the beams.

“I’m with you on that one!” shouted Dante as he slammed the Angel Ring into his Driver’s left slot. [KICK STRIKE GO!] He was covered in light blue wind and he sprinted off, following his sister.

This worked for about a minute before their spells began to wear off. 

“This isn’t working!” shouted Dante.

Symbol looked around for several seconds. “I’ve got a plan! I’ll hold the beams off! You hit the three buttons!” 

“Ok!” shouted Dante as he went on ahead.

Symbol switched the Swift Ring for the Giga Ring and pressed the left Shift Lever. [MAGICAL TOUCH HENSHIN!] Then Symbol scanned the Giga Ring across the Wizard Driver’s Hand Author. [GIGA PLEASE!] The giga magic circle appeared under Symbol’s boots and rose up through her. [BREAK THROUGH!] Symbol spun around as one of the beams approached and pressed the left Shift Lever down three times. [MAGICAL TOUCH SPELL!] Symbol swiped her left glove. [GIGA A RANK SPELL!] Her body was covered in green magic energy as she crossed her arms and braced for impact. “ARGH!” she grunted in pain as the beam made contact. She slid backwards before her boots found purchase on the ground. 

“No choice!” Symbol used her left glove to press the left Shift Lever four times. [MAGICAL TOUCH GO! VERY NICE!] Then she scanned the Giga Ring. [GIGA! S RANK SPELL! THE BEST!] The green magical energy around her body raged. “Giga Embodiment!” shouted Symbol as she threw her arms out and the magical energy surged outwards into a dome, forcing the first beam back as well as the other two as they were linked.

Dante switched the Angel Ring for the Eryx Ring and punched it into his Driver’s left slot. [SET!] He turned it back then forwards making his Driver’s gate close and open. [OPEN!] The eryx magic circle appeared from Dante’s Driver as he ran through it, transforming into the Eryx Style. [E-R-Y-X!] As Dante ran towards the first button he pressed the Eryx Ring into the slot on the back of the right Eryx Gauntlet. [FIVE!] The holographic dice warped in and spun before stopping on a five. [FIST STRIKE!] Dante jumped into the air as red flames flickered around the right Eryx Gauntlet. He pressed down on the trigger inside the left Eryx Gauntlet. [FIST STRIKE!] Crimson flames burst from the left Eryx Gauntlet and formed a construct on the right Eryx Gauntlet around Dante as he went shooting down before slamming it into the button.

Bob gave a bellow of pain as he kept the beams up. 

Symbol saw the dome around her getting smaller, so she pressed the left Shift Lever once. [MAGICAL TOUCH SPELL!] Then scanned her left glove across the Wizard Driver’s Hand Author. [GIGA C RANK SPELL!] Symbol pressed the left Shift Lever four times as her left fist glowed with light green magical energy. [MAGICAL TOUCH GO! VERY NICE!] Then scanned her left glove again. [GIGA! S RANK SPELL! THE BEST!] Green magical energy surged around her left fist. “Giga Fist!” shouted Symbol as she pull her arm back and punched the beam making it go flying backwards before stopping and moving towards her  but Symbol was able to hold it back with her left fist. 

Dante had by this time reached the second button. He jumped into the air and pressed the trigger inside the left Eryx Gauntlet. [FIST STRIKE!] Red flames gathered around him and formed a construct of the right Eryx Gauntlet as Dante went shooting down and slammed the button. 

Bob gave a roar of pain but kept up his attacked as he tried once more to kill Symbol with the three purple beams.

Speak of who, she added the Punch and Drill Rings to her right glove and pressed the right Shift Lever. [MAGIC TOUCHIE HENSHIN!] The Wizard Driver’s Hand Author turned to the right as Symbol scanned her right glove across it. [PUNCH DRILL PLEASE!] The punch and drill magic circles appeared under her boots and rose up through her, transforming Symbol into the Giga Punch Drill Style as she pressed the right Shift Lever once. [MAGIC TOUCHIC GO!] Symbol scanned her right glove again. [PUNCH MAGIC PLEASE!] Her left fist caught on fire as she pulled it back as punched the purple beam.

For several seconds she was able to hold the beam back before it started to force her back. “Need more power,” grunted Symbol as she hit the right Shift Leer four times. [MAGIC TOUCHIC GO! VERY NICE!] She swiped her right glove across the Wizard Driver’s Hand Author. [PUNCH DRILL MAGIC! THE BEST!] Symbol gathered energy inside her right glove as she forced her left fist forwards, pushing the beam back a few feet. “Magma Smash!” shouted Symbol as burning red energy covered her right fist and she punched the ground. Out of which came a vertical blade of magma that roared forwards and smashed into the beam. Sparks flew from the heat as the magma blade held the beam back for about a minute.

Dante had reached the final button that was glowing by this time and pressed the trigger inside the left Eryx Gauntlet. [FIST STRIKE!] Dante jumped into the air and came shooting down as red flames formed a construct of the left Eryx Gauntlet around him. Dante hit the ground and slammed into the button.

Bob gave a howl of pain as his head turned blue and the three purple beams spluttered before cutting off.

Symbol saw this and drew the Giga Axe before transforming it into the Giga Spear and pulling open its Hand Author. [COME ON A STAB SHAKE HANDS!] Symbol scanned the Giga Ring across the Giga Spear’s Hand Author. [GIGA! STAB STRIKE!] She pulled back the Giga Spear as green magical energy raged around it. “Piercing Giga!” Symbol pulled back her arm and threw the Giga Spear. It impacted Bob’s face and exploded violently.

Dante switched the Eryx Ring for the Nephilim Ring and punched it into his Driver’s left slot. [SET!] Dante turned his wrist back and then forwards to make his Driver’s gate close before opening. [OPEN!] The nephilim magic circle appeared from Dante’s Driver and moved back through him. [N-E-P-H-I-L-I-M!] Dante emerged in the Nephilim Style. He pulled the Rebellion Blade off his back plate and punched the Nephilim Ring into the slot at the bottom of its handle. [THREE!] The mouth of the Rebellion Blade opened to reveal a trio of red and blue circles. [NEPHILIM SABER STRIKE!] Dante ran up to Bob and slashed him across the face three times making sparks fly and forcing Bob Barbas to grunt with each slash.

Dante then pressed down on the Rebellion Blade’s trigger. [NEPHILIM SABER STRIKE!] The eyes of the Rebellion Blade flashed red and blue as energy of the same color cloaked the blade. “Hacker!” shouted Dante as he slashed Bob Barbas across the face three times with the energized weapon. Each of the slashes ignited an explosion across the Phantoms face.

Finally, Dante punched the Nephilim Ring into his Driver’s left slot. [GO! KICK STRIKE!] He covered both of his boots in red and blue energy. “Hacker!” before spinning around and firing a trio of spin kicks that caused three explosions across Bob’s face.

Dante punched the Nephilim Ring into the slot at the base of the Rebellion Blade’s handle again. [SIX!] The mouth closed before opening again to show six red and blue circles. [NEPHILIM SABER STRIKE!] Dante pulled back the Rebellion Blade and stabbed Bob Barbas in the face multiple times making sparks explode from each impact point.

Then Dante punched the Nephilim Ring into his Driver’s left slot. [GO! KICK STRIKE!] Red and blue magical energy covered his right boot as Dante jumped into the air and delivered several energized kicks to Bob’s face. “Trillion Stabs!” shouted Dante as sparks explode from Bob’s face while he yelled in pain.

At that moment Dante had to jump back as the Giga Spear came shooting through the air and impacted Bob’s face.

That was a mistake.

Bob charged both green and blue energy around himself before firing. A giant beam of blue digital energy slammed into Dante holding him in place before two green beams of digital energy slammed into him from either side and ignited a massive explosion around Dante as they two energies detonated.

“DANTE!” screamed Symbol as her smoking brother fell to the ground with blue and green lightning cracking over his body and sparks coming off his armour as Dante tried desperately to hold onto his transformation.

Symbol glared at Bob Barbas and snarled. “Your gonna pay for that!” she switched the Giga Ring for the Active Ring then pressed the left Shift Lever. [MAGICAL TOUCH HENSHIN!] Symbol scanned her left glove. [ACTIVE PLEASE!] The active magic circle appeared to her left and moved through Symbol, transforming her into the Active Style. [LET’S GO!] She ran forwards and pressed the left Shift Lever once. [MAGICAL TOUCH GO!] Symbol scanned her left glove again. [ACTIVE! C RANK SPELL!] Red lightning gathered around her glow as she threw it forwards, firing a small ball of red lightning at Bob’s face. It hit him and exploded, making the yellow energy that he had been building up vanish.

Bob Barbas gave a loud roar as he built up blue digital energy around him. Symbol added the Slasher and Aqua Rings to her right glove and pressed the right Shift Lever. [MAGIC TOUCHIE HENSHIN!] Then scanned her right glove across the Wizard Driver’s Hand Author. [SLASHER AQUA PLEASE!] She jumped through the two magic circles, avoiding the giant beam of blue digital energy that was fired at her. Then Symbol hit the right Shift Lever twice. [MAGIC TOUCHIE GO!] Before swiping her right glove. [AQUA MAGIC PLEASE!] Blue water was pulled from the air and covered the Slasher Tidal Claws as Symbol threw them forwards, firing six crescent of ocean blue water that smashed into Bob’s face and made sparks explode from it.

Bob was far to caught up in his rage and anger to even think about turning the buttons back on as he fired another pair of green beams that tried to smash Symbol into paste between them. Key word; tried. Symbol hit the right Shift Lever four times. [MAGICAL TOUCH GO! VERY NICE!] Then she scanned her right glove once more. [SLASHER AQUA MAGIC THE BEST!] Water was pulled from the air and covered the six Slasher Tidal Claws as Symbol slashed with them firing the water in six ocean blue crescents that turned into a cross. “Aqua Slash!” shouted Symbol as the attack tore through the narrow parts of the beams, making the parts which were about to hit her vanish. The attack slammed into Bob’s face making explosions ignite across it. 

Bob Barbas gave a loud roar as purple digital energy gathered around him before being fired out in three beams in a triangle formation. Symbol replied by switching the Active Ring for the Burst Ring and pressing the left Shift Lever. [MAGICAL TOUCH HENSHIN!] Then she scanned the Burst Ring. [BURST PLEASE!] The burst magic circle appeared behind Symbol and moved through her, transforming her into the Burst Style. [CAST THE SPELL!] She then pulled out the Burst Wand and pulled open its Hand Author. [COME ON A CAST SHAKE HANDS!] Symbol scanned the Burst Ring. [BURST! CAST STRIKE!] Purple magical energy built up in a large ball in front of the Burst Wand. “Burst Beam!” shouted Symbol as she fired the orb in the form of a giant beam that smashed into Bob, right before his own burst beam hit Symbol from the side and sent her flying through the air. 

“ARGH!” shouted Symbol as she landed on the ground, clutching her ribs in pain. Then she saw Bob charging up blue energy around himself. [MAGIC TOUCHIE HENSHIN!] Symbol added the Dust and Mirror Rings to her right glove, then pressed the right Shift Lever followed by scanning her right glove. [DUST MIRROR PLEASE!] The two magic circles appeared behind her and moved through Symbol before she hit the right Shift Lever twice more. [MAGIC TOUCHIE GO!] Symbol scanned her right glove again. [MIRROR MAGIC PLEASE!] A silver mirror appeared in front of her and blocked the attack before it started to quickly crack.

It looked like the mirror was going to hold when Bob Barbas charged up purple digital energy and three beams appeared from him in a triangle formation then slammed closed around Symbol. “ARGH!” shouted Symbol as an explosion ignited around her and sent was sent flying back. Doing her best to hold onto her true form and not transform back into her human form.

“SUNSET!” shouted Dante as his sister landed on the ground. “Your gonna pay for that!” he swore at Bob Barbas.

The Phantom just chuckled. “Your sister said the same thing and she only lasted that long since I was going easy on her! I won’t make that mistake again! What makes you think you’ll do any better?!”

“Because I have this!” Dante side the Trigger Ring onto his left middle finger ready to transform.

“What’s that supposed to be?” demanded Bob Barbas.

“Your doom,” replied Dante as he punched the Trigger Ring into his Driver’s left slot. [TRIGGER!] Dante turned his wrist back then forward making his Driver’s gate close before opening again. [DEVIL GO!] Dante cross and uncross his arms as the energy construct of the Phantom roared from his Driver blocking a blue energy beam. [DE-DE-DE-DEVIL!] The construct moved behind Dante and wrapped its arms around him, merging with Dante in a flash of red light, transforming Dante into his Devil Trigger Style. 

“Change all you want, you’ll never beat me!” spat out Bob Barbas.

“We’ll see about that!” shouted Dante as he punched the Trigger Ring into the back of the Rebellion Magnum. [TWO! DEVIL!] A blood red holographic two appeared in front of the Magnum’s skull. [MAGNUM STRIKE!] Red magical energy started to charge within the Rebellion Magnum as Dante held down the trigger. [DEVIL!] Ten rings of blood red magic energy were pulled into the Rebellion Magnum. [MAGNUM STRIKE!] Dante let go of the trigger. “Death Coil!” out of the Rebellion Magnum roared a massive beam of red energy that looped around. Bob fired a wall of yellow digital energy that had a single hole in it. The beam looped through the hole and smashed into Bob’s face making an explosion detonate across it. 

Bob gave a roar of pain as he charged up blue and green energy. “Remember this?!” he shouted as he fired a beam of blue energy that trapped Dante before two beam of green energy started to close in on Dante from the side. However thanks to the power from the Devil Trigger Style, Dante was still able to move and punch the Trigger Ring into the back of the Rebellion Magnum. [THREE! DEVIL!] The two morphed into a flame red three. [MAGNUM STRIKE!] The green beams closed in as Dante held down the trigger of the Rebellion Magnum. [DEVIL!] Ten rings of red energy appeared in the air and were pulled into the Rebellion Magnum’s barrel. [MAGNUM STRIKE!] Dante let go of the trigger. “Hacker!” out of the Rebellion Magnum roared three red beams, two of them smashed through the green beams and the last pushed back the blue beam. Two of the red beams pincered around and slammed into Bob Barbas from either side just as the three beam made contact. Bob Barbas roared in pain as explosions were denoted across his face from the attack.

“Time to end this!” snarled out Dante as he punched the Trigger Ring into the back of the Rebellion Magnum again. [SIX! DEVIL!] The flame red three doubled, turning into a blood red six. [MAGNUM STRIKE!] The outlines of the Rebellion Magnum started to glow as it was charged with red energy, Dante held down the trigger. [DEVIL!] Ten rings of red energy were pulled from the air into the barrel of the Rebellion Magnum. [MAGNUM STRIKE!] Dante let go of the trigger. “Trillion Stabs!” he yelled as the Rebellion Magnum fired over a hundred beams of red energy that smashed into Bob’s face igniting explosions across it.

“Not enough? Then try this!” Dante pressed the Trigger Ring into the back of the Rebellion Magnum again. [ONE! DEVIL!] The blood red six morphed into an earth red one. [MAGNUM STRIKE!] Dante took aim with the Rebellion Magnum as he held down the trigger. [DEVIL!] Ten rings of red energy appeared in the air and were pulled into the Rebellion Magnum’s barrel. [MAGNUM STRIKE!] Dante jumped into the air as he let go of the trigger. “Helm Breaker!” shouted Dante as he fired a massive beam of red energy down at Bob that slammed into him and made sparks explode across its body from the damage of the attack.

“Now it's time to end this!” yelled Dante as he punched the Trigger Ring into his Driver’s left slot. [GO! DEVIL!] Red energy gathered around his right leg. [KICK STRIKE!] Dante went shooting down. “Devil Strike!” he yelled as his boot made contact with Bob’s face and ignited a giant explosions.

When the smoke cleared, Dante could see a lock on point n one of Bob’s eyes. [SET!] [OPEN!] [O-S-I-R-I-S!] He transformed into the Angel Style. [HOOK MODE!] Then transformed the Osiris Scythe into the Angel Lift, hooking onto Bob’s eye and pulling himself in. “This is hard hitting news, Bob!” he shouted.

[MAGICAL TOUCH HENSHIN!] [ACTIVE PLEASE!] [LET’S GO!] “Wait for me!” shouted a recovered Symbol. [MAGIC TOUCHIE HENSHIN!] [BOOST DEFEND PLEASE!] She ran forwards. [MAGIC TOUCHIE GO!] [BOOST MAGIC PLEASE!] In a pulse of purple magic she jumped after Dante.

“It has been uncovered that Dante has been joined by his sister Sunset. She was separated from him at birth for her own protection only to become just as bad as her older brother,” stated Bob Barbas. “She recently assisted him in an attack on the Virility Factory, making of the world's number one soft drink, that resulted in the factory being utterly destroyed.”

“You say that like it’s a bad thing!” shouted Symbol as several Blade Phantom’s burst from the ground. She switched the Active Ring for the Giga Ring and pressed the left Shift Lever. [MAGICAL TOUCH HENSHIN!] Symbol scanned her left glove across the Wizard Driver’s Hand Author.

THE BEST!] Symbol landed behind her wall as she rammed both of the Punch Drillers into it. “Wall Charge!” shouted Symbol as with a grunt she pulled the wall from the ground and used it as a club to send three Blade Phantoms flying into the air where they exploded.

Symbol turned around, just as she was slashed in the face plate by another Blade Phantom. “Gah!” muttered Symbol in pain as sparks came from her ace plate. She staggered back several steps as she pressed the right Shift Lever once. [MAGIC TOUCHIC GO!] Then scanned her right glove across the Wizard Driver’s Hand Author. [PUNCH MAGIC PLEASE!] Red flames covered both of the Punch Drillers as she pulled her right fist back and punched the Phantom in the face, then gave it an uppercut before pulling it back down for a double punch to the face.

VERY NICE!] She swiped her right glove across the Wizard Driver’s Hand Author. [PUNCH DRILL MAGIC! THE BEST!] Red flames burst into being around both of the Puncher Drillers as the drills on Symbols knuckles started to spin. “Magma Smash!” shouted Symbol. Just as the Blade Phantoms were about to reach her she pulled back her right fist and drove it into the ground making a blade of magma burst from the ground, forcing the Blade Phantoms to skid to a halt. With her other fist she punched the blade and sent it shooting towards the Phantoms. They were too close and had to time to dodge as they were both turned to ash for the sheer heat and pressure of the blade. 

“And they just starting killing people. He looked me in the eye at one point. It was terrifying. He definitely had pedophile eyes,” commented one witness.

Dante jumped into the air as another Blade Phantom passed under him, having been aiming to impale him with its sword. Dante pressed the Arbiter Ring into the base of the Arbiter Axe’s handle. [FIVE!] The dice appeared again and spun until it displayed an extra dot. [AXE STRIKE!] Dante came shooting down as he swung the Arbiter Axe down in an overhead strike that carved the Blade Phantom in half and both halves fell to the ground and turned to dust.

The Kamen Rider looked to the left and saw a Blade Phantom running at him, then he looked to the left, seeing another Blade Phantom running towards him. Dante waited and grabbed one of the Blade Phantoms before throwing it into the other Blade Phantom. While they were trying to get up, Dante punched the Arbiter Ring into the slot at the base of the Arbiter Axe. [TWO!] The holographic dice appeared and spun before stopping on a two. [AXE STRIKE!] Dante spun the Arbiter Axe before grabbing it in both hands and slamming it into the ground. Out of the impact point came two lines of red magical energy that threw both of the Phantoms into the air where they exploded.

Suddenly, Dante was hit across the back plate by another Blade Phantom. Being in Arbiter Style he was not damaged at all, so he kicked the Phantom back as he pressed the Arbiter Ring into the slot at the base of the Arbiter Axe’s handle. [ONE!] A single dot vanished from the dice above the Arbiter Axe. [AXE STRIKE!] Dante swung the axe around as red energy gathered along its blade. Dante swung it down, making the energy shoot off and form into an energy construct of an axe head that smashed through the Blade Phantom and made it explode.

Dante jumped back to avoid a slash from another Blade Phantom before kicking it back and punching the Arbiter Ring into the bottom of the Arbiter Axe’s handle again. [SIX!] The dice appeared and spun until it stopped on a six. [AXE STRIKE!] Dante swung the Arbiter Axe down in a two handed grip that sent a red energy wave along the ground that slammed into the five Blade Phantom which had been attacking him, making them all go up in a pillar of fire.

Suddenly, another four Blade Phantoms were charging at Dante from all four sides. He punched the Arbiter Ring into the slot at the base of the Arbiter Axe’s handle again. [FIVE!] The holographic dice appeared on a six before loosing a single dot. [AXE STRIKE!] Dante jumped into the air, leaving the Blade Phantoms to hit each other as he held down on the Arbiter Axe’s trigger. [AXE STRIKE!] Red magical energy surged up the Arbiter Axe’s handle and into the blade as Dante went shooting back down. “Drop!” shouted Dante as the energy formed into a construct of a second Arbiter Axe that followed the originals movements. Dante slammed the Arbiter Axe into the ground unleashing a blast of red mana that turned the Blade Phantom’s to dust. 

At that moment Dante saw another Blade Phantom running towards him. He blocked the first slash with the Arbiter Axe and jumped into the air to avoid the second slash before punching the Arbiter Ring into his Driver’s left slot. [GO! KICK STRIKE!] His right boot was covered in red magic. “Drop!” shouted Dante as he went shooting down, slamming his boot into the Blade Phantom making it explode.

“I saw one girl, like, beg for her life. But, like, she said she was gonna kill her anyway. Then she did it, like, totally, added another witness.

Dante saw three Blade Phantom about to slash him and blocked their attack with the shaft of the Arbiter Axe before shoving them back as he punched the Arbiter Ring into the bottom of the Arbiter Axe’s shaft. [THREE!] The holographic dice appeared and spun until it stopped on a three. [AXE STRIKE!] Dante pulled back the Arbiter Axe and struck all three of the Blade Phantoms with a single swing that caused them to crumble to dust.

Dante took a slash from another Blade Phantom across the chest plate before punching it back. “Shit!” muttered Dante as he saw that it had been joined by another two Blade Phantoms. He pressed down on the Arbiter Axe’s trigger. [AXE STRIKE!] Red energy roared up the Arbiter Axe’s shaft and into its blade. “Judgment!” shouted Dante. He swung the Arbiter Axe down on one Blade Phantom with the red magic forming an after image of the blade that doubled the damage. He hit the second Blade Phantom with an across swing and the third with an upwards swing. All three of the Blade Phantoms had red lightning sparking across their bodies before they fell over and exploded.

Dante saw another three Blade Phantoms running towards him and punched the Arbiter Ring into the left slot of his Driver. [GO! KICK STRIKE!] Red magical energy surged from Dante’s Driver into his right boot as he ran forwards and leapt through the air, kicking on off the Blade Phantoms with a flying kick. “Judgment!” shouted Dante as he landed back on the ground and hit the second Blade Phantom with a spin kick. He ducked a slash from a third Blade Phantom and nailed it in the face with a double mule kick. All three of the Phantoms exploded.

Dante noticed that ten Blade Phantoms were running towards him and punched the Arbiter Ring into the slot at the base of the Arbiter Axe’s handle. [SIX!] The dice appeared and the numbers on it doubled from last time. [AXE STRIKE!] Dante spun the Arbiter Axe around several times as he slammed his glove down on its trigger. [AXE STRIKE!] Red magic energy surged up the Arbiter Axe’s shaft from its handle to its blade as Dante spun it around and slammed it into the ground. “Blood Wave!” shouted Dante as a tidal wave of red magic appeared from the ground and swallowed up the Blade Phantoms before they had a chance to turn away and caused ten explosions to detonate from within the wave, signaling the Phantom’s deaths. 

“Since that horrific attack, it has come to light that Dante and Sunset are involved in the terrorist organization called The Order,” began Bob Barbas.

Dante ignored Bob Barbas has he continued to bather on. He punched the Arbiter Ring into the slot at the base of the Arbiter Axe’s handle. [ONE!] This time when the holographic dice appeared it displayed a single dot. [AXE STRIKE!] Dante pressed down on the Arbiter Axe’s trigger. [AXE STRIKE!] Dante swung the Arbiter Axe around, red magical energy gathered around its blade while more red mana surged up its shaft, from its handle into the Arbiter Axe’s blade. “Flush!” roared Dante as he swung the Arbiter Axe down, firing a beam of red energy, the top of which took the shape of a spinning axe blade. It smashed into five Blade Phantoms and sawed straight through them, making red lightning spark over the halves before they exploded.

Suddenly, Dante stumbled as he was hit across the back plate by five more Blade Phantoms. With a snarl of anger Dante punched the Arbiter Ring into the left slot of his Driver. [GO! KICK STRIKE!] Dante covered his right boot in red magical energy as he spun around with a spin kick that firing a construct of a spinning axe head at the Blade Phantoms, cutting through them and causing them to explode.

Dante jumped into the air and came down after avoiding another slash from another Blade Phantom. He slotted the Arbiter Ring into the slot at the base of the Arbiter Axe’s handle. [FOUR!] The dice appeared again and spun until it stopped on a four. [AXE STRIKE!] Three rings of red magic energy were pulled into the Arbiter Axe’s blade as Dante spun it around and brought it down. This sent out three pulses of red magical energy that tore the Blade Phantom to bits. 

Dante saw the last Blade Phantom running towards him and slammed the Arbiter Ring into his Driver’s left slot. [GO! KICK STRIKE!] Red energy covered his right boot as he buried it into the Phantom’s gut, unleashing five pulses of red magic that tore the Phantom to ashes. 

“I have a message for The Order. The whole world is looking for you. Every camera on every street corner. Every police force in the country and world wide. We will find you. We will destroy you. It’s only a matter of time. This is Bob Barbas from the Raptor News Network. Just doing god’s work.”

“OH WILL YOU SHUT UP!” shouted both siblings as they suddenly found themselves back in the room with Bob’s head.

Suddenly, the Raptor News Network theme song played as a screen opened in front of the Phantoms showing Bob’s human forming sitting behind his news desk in his office holding a sheet of paper.

Both Kamen Rider’s glanced at each other, confused.

“I interrupt this broadcast to bring you breaking news,” began Bob Barbas. “The terrorist organisations responsible for the recent attacks has been located and is being stormed by SWAT teams,” he stated.

“No!” shouted Dante as both Kamen Rider’s insides turned cold.

“It can’t be!” shouted Symbol.

“As I speak,” finished Bob Barbas. 

The screen showed SWAT personal pouring out of their vans and storming into the building that Dante and Symbol knew The Order HQ was located in.

“Two of the terrorists identified in these images,” an image of Kate and Vergil appeared on the upper left corner of the screen. “Are known to be in the compound.”

“Bastards!” shouted Dante.

“A third and fourth terrorist have been cornered in another part of the city by a separate police raid,” Bob Barbas continued. The screen showed a picture of Dante’s human form and Sunset.

“Cornered my backside!” shouted Symbol.

“Rest assured. Those responsible will be brought to justice at any moment. Dead or Alive,” stated Bob Barbas. “This is Bob Barbas of the Raptor News Network. Just doing god’s work.”

The screen vanished, revealing Bob’s Phantom form again. “HAHAHAH! Your cornered! We got you! We’ll crush you! And you know what? We’ll do it live! You suck! We’re gonna do it live!” he shouted.

“NEVER GONNA HAPPEN!” shouted both Kamen Riders as they moved to engage. 

Dante switched the Arbiter Ring for the Nephilim Ring and punched it into his Driver’s left slot. [SET!] Dante turned his wrist back, then forwards making his Driver’s gate close and open. [OPEN!] The nephilim magic circle appeared from Dante’s Driver and moved back through him, transforming Dante into the Nephilim Style. [N-E-P-H-I-L-I-M!] Dante ran forwards as Bob charged up blue and green energy around himself. “Now sis!” he shouted to Symbol.

Symbol changed the Giga Ring for the Burst Ring and pressed the left Shift Lever. [MAGICAL TOUCH HENSHIN!] Then she scanned the Burst Ring across the Wizard Driver’s Hand Author. [BURST PLEASE!] The burst magical circle appeared behind her and moved thought Symbol. [CAST THE SPELL!] She drew the Burst Wand and pulled its hand Author’s thumb, opening it. [COME ON A CAST SHAKE HANDS!] Symbol scanned the Burst Ring across it. [BURST! CAST STRIKE!] An orb of purple energy built up in front of the Burst Wand. “Burst Beam!” shouted Symbol as she made the orb collapse into a beam of purple magical energy that roared forwards and slammed into the beam of blue energy that Bob Barbas fired, the two cancelled each other out. 

“Sis! Can you deal with the others?!” shouted Dante as Bob fired the green digital energy in a pair of beams that threatened to crush Dante.

“I’m on it!” raged Symbol as she slid the Dust and Mirror Rings onto her right glove as she pressed the right Shift Lever. [MAGIC TOUCHIE HENSHIN!] Symbol scanned her right glove across the Wizard Driver’s Hand Author. [DUST MIRROR PLEASE!] The two magic circles appeared behind her and moved through Symbol as she slammed her glove down on the right Shift Lever three times. [MAGIC TOUCHIE GO!] Then swiped her right glove. [DUST MIRROR MAGIC PLEASE!] Dust swirled inwards and transformed into a pair of mirrors, one on either side of Dante. They blocked the green beams and allowed Dante to continue his charge. 

Dante pressed the Nephilim Ring into the slot at the base of the Rebellion Blade’s handle. [SIX!] The mouth opened to show six red and blue circles. [NEPHILIM SABER STRIKE!] Then Dante punched the Nephilim Ring into the slot on the left side of his Driver. [GO! KICK STRIKE!] Red and blue magical energy ran from Dante’s Driver into his right boot as he pressed down on the Rebellion Blade’s trigger. [NEPHILIM SABER STRIKE!] Red and blue magical energy shrouded the Rebellion Blade as the energy was pulled from his boot and into the blade. “Mega Trillion Stabs!” shouted Dante as he unleashed a barrage of stabs that made explosions go off around the face of Bob Barbas.

He gave a loud roar as Dante jumped back. Bob charged up purple and green energy around himself before firing it out in three beams of purple energy in a triangle formation that rotated around the room while the green energy took the form of three beams that moved in to crush the Kamen Riders.

“Roles reversed!” ordered Symbol as she ran towards Bob Barbas.

“Got it!” shouted Dante as he changed the Nephilim Ring for the Arbiter Ring and punched it into his Driver’s left slot. [SET!] Dante turned his wrist back, then forwards making his Driver’s gate close and open. [OPEN!] The arbiter magic circle appeared from Dante’s Driver and moved back through him. [A-R-B-I-T-E-R!] Dante pulled the Arbiter Axe off his back and punched the Arbiter Ring into the slot at the base of its handle. [FOUR!] The holographic dice appeared above the Arbiter Axe as Dante pulled it back red magic gathered around it. [AXE STRIKE!] Dante slammed the weapon into the ground and unleashed three pulses of red energy that cancelled out the purple beams.

Seeing that the green beams were about to crush them, Dante switched the Arbiter Ring for the Eryx Ring and punched it into his Driver’s left slot. [SET!] Two twists made Dante’s Driver’s door close and spring back open. [OPEN!] The arbiter magic circle appeared from Dante’s Driver and moved back through him. [E-R-Y-X!] Now in the Eryx Style, Dante punched the Eryx Ring into the slot at the back of the right Eryx Gauntlet. [FOUR!] The holographic dice appeared above the right Eryx Gauntlet as red flames collected around the two fist shaped weapons. [FIST STRIKE!] Dante pressed the trigger inside the left Eryx Gauntlet. [FIST STRIKE!] The flames were mixed with red magical energy as Dante punched the ground. “Showdown!” roared Dante as a pair of red energy and flame spikes came out of the ground on each side of him, holding back the green energy beams, stopping them from crushing them. But Dante could already feel the strain. “Hurry up! Sunset!” shouted Dante.

“I’m on it!” shouted Symbol as she hit the left Shift Lever four times. [MAGICAL TOUCH GO!] Then she scanned her left glove across the Wizard Driver’s Hand Author. [BURST! B RANK SPELL!] Water in the air collected and froze into four shurikens of ice that Symbol sent shooting forwards as she hit the left Shift Lever four times. [MAGICAL TOUCH GO! VERY NICE!] Symbol swiped her left glove. [BURST! S RANK SPELL! THE BEST!] The shurikens quickly grew in both size and power as they raced towards Bob’s face. “Ice Mirror Surround!” shouted Symbol as the four large ice shurikens cut into Bob’s face drawing a storm of sparks. 

Suddenly, Bob starting charging yellow, purple and green energy in three circles around himself.

“That’s new!” muttered Symbol as Bob fired. The yellow energy turned into an expanding circle around Bob Barbas, the green energy turned into a pair of beams that started to close in on the Kamen Rider’s and the purple energy transformed into three beams in a triangle formation that spun around the area.

“SHIT!” bellow Dante as he punched the Eryx Ring into the slot in the back of the right Eryx Gauntlet. [SIX!] The holographic dice appeared above the right Eryx Gauntlet and spun until it stopped on a six. [FIST STRIKE!] Flames gathered around the left Eryx Gauntlet as Dante pulled the trigger within it. [FIST STRIKE!] The flames were mixed with red magical energy as Dante punched the Eryx Ring into the left slot of his Driver. [GO! KICK STRIKE!] The flames and red mana were pulled into Dante’s right boot as he spun around. “Mega Snake Eyes!” shouted Dante as his boot made contact with the wall. But to his shock, he was barely holding it back!

Symbol turned to the two green beams that were about to crush them and slammed her glove down on the left Shift Lever three times. [MAGICAL TOUCH GO!] She scanned her left glove again. [BURST! A RANK SPELL!] Symbol held her right glove down to the ground and out of it burst a wall made from solid rock. She knew it would not stop the beam for long and pressed the left Shift Lever four more times. [MAGICAL TOUCH GO! VERY NICE!] Then she scanned her left glove. [BURST! S RANK SPELL! THE BEST!] The wall glowed with purple mana as the earth was pulled from the ground making it much denser. “Earth Wall Enforcement!” ordered Symbol as she turned to the other beam which was still closing in.

Symbol quickly hit the right Shift Lever twice. [MAGIC TOUCHIE GO!] She scanned her right glove across the Wizard Driver’s Hand Author. [MIRROR MAGIC PLEASE!] A mirror appeared in front of the green beam and started trying to throw it back with little success. Seeking to give it some help, Symbol slammed her glove down on the right Shift Lever four times. [MAGIC TOUCHIE GO! VERY NICE!] Symbol scanned her right glove once more. [DUST MIRROR MAGIC! THE BEST!] The mirror was enforced by purple and brown magical energy. “Mirror Reflection!” shouted Symbol as the mirror was able to halt the green beam.

All of a sudden, a purple beam smashed into Dante breaking his focus and slamming him into the yellow wall making sparks explode from his body as he was attacked by the Phantom’s mana.

“DANTE!” shouted Symbol. Suddenly the other purple beams attack her, one shattered her wall, the other shattered her mirror and the final purple beam slammed into her before she was sandwiched between both of the purple beams. A large explosion was ignited with her in the centre of it. 

“SUNSET!” shouted Dante as his sister fell to the ground with sparks coming from her armour. He turned to Bob Barbas. “The gloves are off!” he switched the Eryx Ring for the Trigger Ring and punched it into his Driver’s left slot. [ERROR!] Boomed the Driver instead of transforming him.

Dante stared. “Performance issues NOW OF ALL TIMES?!” he shouted in shock.

“You must have used up too much mana today,” muttered Symbol as she got back to her boots with sparks still coming from her armour. She slid the Advance Ring into her left middle finger.

“Woah! Are you crazy?!” demanded Dante. “You know what that thing does to you!” he shouted.

“Yeah, I probably am crazy,” replied Symbol as she hit the left Shift Lever. [TOUCH TO ADVANCE YOUR CLASS!] “But we don’t have any other options!” she scanned the Advance Ring across the Wizard Driver’s Hand Author. [ADVANCE PLEASE!] The Advance magic circle appeared in front of her and moved back through Symbol, transforming her into the Advance Style.

“We need to get this battle over with as soon as possible so we can get back to The Order,” shouted Symbol as the transformation finished. “It’s up to you to stop me if I lose it!” 

“Dante nodded grimly. “OK!” 

“Change all you want! You’ll never beat me!” shouted Bob Barbas as he fired a blue laser that trapped Symbol. Three green lasers and four purple lasers aiming to crush her with them.

Symbol pressed the left Shift Lever twice. [TOUCH TO CAST THE NEXT LEVEL!] Then scanned the Advance Ring. [ADVANCE A TIER SPELL!] The rectangles on the back of her forearm armour glowed as she punched outwards, destroying both of the green beams and the blue beam with her fists while the shockwaves of yellow mana that her limbs fired destroyed all four of the purple beams.

“WHAT?!” demanded Bob Barbas as he fired a yellow wall, three more purple beams and a blue beam that trapped Symbol while the other attacks moved in to crush her.

Symbol pressed the left Shift Lever once. [TOUCH TO CAST THE NEXT LEVEL!] Then she scanned the Advance Ring. [ADVANCE C TIER SPELL!] The rectangles on her limbs started to glow as Symbol ran forwards and hit the left Shift Lever four times. [TOUCH TO CAST THE NEXT LEVEL! VERY NICE!]  Bob was confused as to how the blue beam as not stopping her as Symbol scanned the Advance Ring again. [ADVANCE S TIER SPELL! THE BEST!] Yellow magical energy covered her body. “Advance Charge!” shouted Symbol as she cut through the three attacks and slammed her fist into Bob’s face making sparks come from it.

“NO NO NO! STAY BACK!” screamed Bob as he fired a blast of blue energy with a pair of green beams coming around to crush Symbol between them

Symbol dodged to the side as she pressed the left Shift Lever twice. [TOUCH TO CAST THE NEXT LEVEL!] Then scanned the Advance Ring. [ADVANCE B TIER SPELL! ] Yellow magical energy covered her right elbow as she flipped through the air and slammed her limb down on Bob’s head making him roar in pain from the impact of the attack as sparks come from the impact point.

Bob roared as he fired another beam of blue energy that was propelling a wall towards Symbol who pressed the left Shift Lever four times. [TOUCH TO CAST THE NEXT LEVEL!] Symbol swiped the Advance Ring. [ADVANCE B TIER SPELL!] Yellow magic energy was leaked from the rectangles on the back of her forearm armour as Symbol crossed them, stopping the wall in its tracks. She grunted as pain flared in the side of her helmet. “Cross Guard Counter!” shouted Symbol as she uncrossed her arms, firing a yellow X made of magic energy at Bob Barbas. It forced back the blue beam and yellow wall, which only added to the damage Bob took when the attack made an impact.

Bob roared in rage as he fired two more green beams, another yellow wall and four purple beams. Symbol hit the left Shift Lever once more. [TOUCH TO CAST THE NEXT LEVEL!] She jumped over the attacks as she scanned the Advance Ring again. [ADVANCE C TIER SPELL!] She covered her fist in yellow magical energy as she went shooting down and punched Bob in the face making him scream in pain from the force of the blow and the energy behind it.

Symbol slammed her fist down on the left Shift Lever four times. [TOUCH TO CAST THE NEXT LEVEL! VERY NICE!] She scanned the Advance Ring across the Wizard Driver’s Hand Author. [ADVANCE S TIER SPELL! THE BEST!] The yellow orbs and rectangles on her limbs shone while the circle on her chest plate shinned. Symbol let yellow magical energy blaze around her body before focusing it into her leg and running forwards before jumping into a flying kick. “Advance End!” shouted Symbol as she went shooting down. Her boot made contact with Bob’s face and sparks flew as explosions went off around Bob Barbas. Cracks with light shining from them spread through him as Bob tried to hold himself together before he exploded.

A screen appeared in front of the Phantom with Bob’s human avatar as he tried to escape.

“Hey Bob!” shouted Dante. “Your fired!” he pulled out Ebony and Ivory before shooting at the screen making two bullet holes appear in it. Bob’s human avatar staggered back as he clutched his chest before falling over dead.

Dante faceplate palmed when he realized that he made it look like he had just killed Bob Barbas ON LIVE TV! “That could have gone better,” he turned to Symbol.

Just in time to get a punch to the faceplate!

“ARGH!” shouted Dante as he went flying back. “So it’s not a matter of if you lose it but when!” he growled as he glanced down at the Trigger Ring that was still on his left middle finger. “I just hope that I have enough mana left!” he punched the Trigger Ring into his Driver’s left slot. [TRIGGER!] Dante turned his left wrist back, then forwards making his Driver’s door close and then open again. [GO ANGEL!] The angel trigger magic circle appeared from Dante’s Driver and moved back through him, transforming Dante into the Angel Trigger Style. [AN-AN-AN-ANGEL!] Dante drew the Rebellion Magnum Angel Mode and pressed the Trigger Ring into the back of it. [ANGEL SIX!] Dante took aim as a light blue holographic one appeared in front of the Rebellion Magnum’s skull. [MAGNUM STRIKE!] Dante opened fire, launching a barrage of bullets from the Rebellion Magnum that drew sparks from Symbol’s body.

[TOUCH TO CAST THE NEXT LEVEL!] [ADVANCE C TIER SPELL!] With a roar she charged her right fist with yellow magical energy and ran forwards to take a swing at Dante.

Dante replied by punching the Trigger Ring into his Driver’s Left slot. [KICK STRIKE! GO!] Light blue wind covered his body. [ANGEL!] Dante vanished in a burst of speed and appeared behind Symbol. She missed her swing and Dante kicked her in the back, sending his sister shooting forwards with sparks coming from her back plate.

[TOUCH TO CAST THE NEXT LEVEL!] [ADVANCE B TIER SPELL!] With a shout Symbol covered her right fist in yellow magical energy as she ran towards to Dante to deliver a quick elbow strike.

Dante pressed the Trigger Ring into the back of the Rebellion Magnum. [ANGEL FIVE!] The holographic six lost a unit and turned to a light blue holographic five. [MAGNUM STRIKE!] Dante took aim and fired a single powerful light blue bolt that smashed into Symbol and made sparks explode from her chestplate, sending her shooting back with sparks coming from her body.

Symbol got back up as her armour started to flicker she hit the left Shift Lever three times. [TOUCH TO CAST THE NEXT LEVEL!] Then she scanned the Advance Ring. [ADVANCE A TIER SPELL!] The rectangles on the back of her forearms armour started to glow as she charged forwards. Both of her fists were cloaked in a thin layer of yellow magical energy as Symbol got ready to pummel Dante.

Dante knew that Symbol would block any direct attacks with that move. ‘Time to be indirect then,’ he thought as he punched the Trigger Ring into the back of the Rebellion Magnum. [ANGEL TWO!] The holographic five transformed into a light blue two. [MAGNUM STRIKE!] Dante fired the Rebellion Magnum at Symbol. She raised her arms to block the light blue bolt, only for it to curve around her arm and send her spinning through the air as it slammed into one of her visors.

Dante winced. “Ouch. I wasn’t meaning to hit her there!” as Symbol got back up, Dante held down on the Rebellion Magnum’s trigger. [MAGNUM STRIKE!] Ten rings of magical energy were pulled into the Rebellion Magnum as it charged. [ANGEL!] Dante took aim and let go of the trigger. “Death Coil Roulette!” he shouted as he fired a column sized blue beam that curved around and struck Symbol from the side, hitting her into the air before looping around again to repeat the process. The beam did this several times, getting faster and faster until an explosion was ignited across Symbol’s body, making her fall to the ground with sparks coming from her armour.

Dante ran forwards to where Symbol was going to impact the ground and punched the Trigger Ring into his Driver’s left slot. [KICK STRIKE! GO!] Light blue wind wrapped around his right boot. [ANGEL!] Dante spun around. “Death Coil!” he shouted as his boot made contact with Symbol’s side and sent her shooting to the other side of the room with blue wind wrapped around her body that made sparks explode from her in a continuous stream. She impact the wall of the room with a loud boom, creating a crater and a large dust cloud.

Symbol came out of the dust cloud, still in the Advance Style.

“That style’s definitely getting stronger,” muttered Dante, then his form started to flicker. “This is bad. I have barely a minute left in this form.”

Symbol pressed the left Shift Lever four times. [TOUCH TO CAST THE NEXT LEVEL! VERY NICE!] Then she scanned the Advance Ring. [ADVANCE S TIER SPELL! THE BEST!] Her body was covered in yellow magical energy that leaked from the rectangles and orbs. 

Symbol charged.

“I’d better make this count,” muttered Dante as he punched the Trigger Ring into the back of the Rebellion Magnum. [ANGEL FIVE!] The two shifted back into a light blue five. [MAGNUM STRIKE!] Dante held down the Rebellion Magnum’s trigger. [MAGNUM STRIKE!] Ten rings of light blue magic were pulled into the Rebellion Magnum’s barrel. [ANGEL!] Then Dante let go of the trigger. “Stinger!” he fired a huge beam that slammed into Symbol. For several seconds she pushed back against it but then her boots lost their grip on the ground and she was sent flying back with explosions going off around her body before an explosion went off around her. 

[MAGICAL TOUCH HENSHIN!] [BURST PLEASE!] [CAST THE SPELL!] Symbol came out of the explosion back in the Burst Style. “Urgh, what happened?!” she groaned in pain.

Then she was grabbed by Dante.

“Hey! What are you-?!”

Dante cut his sister off as he dragged her out of the room. “Sorry, no time to explain!” 

Neither of them noticed the blue energy come from Bob’s corpse and transform the Angel Ring into a pair of Rings as well as give Symbol two new Rings.
> S1E12 The Order
> --------------------------------------------------------------------------

Dante and Sunset ran across the rooftops towards The Order’s HQ. Dante had fought SWAT  several times in his life and had won on a number of occasions when he had lost it had been a narrow victory for the SWAT soldiers.

This was before he found out about his powers as a Kamen Rider. Now that his sister was fighting alongside him, the SWAT had no chance. They would not harm their friends or Brother.

The two of them landed on a roof opposite The Order’s HQ and saw that the road had been blocked at each end by police cars they also saw that a pair of SWAT vans had just arrived, skidding to a halt with the SWAT officers getting out. 

“They're not in yet, we’ve got to get to them first!” shouted Dante.

“You do at least,” pointed out Sunset.

Dante turned to her. “Huh?!” he demanded. 

“Your reputation is too well know. The second you make a move on the SWAT teams, every SWAT officer in the country will be here. Me? The humans see me as a little girl, I can do a lot more damage to the SWAT while you get the members of The Order out of there,” she explained.

Dante looked at his sister in concern. “You're sure you're going to be fine?” he asked her.

Sunset gave Dante a dry look. “Dante, I just fought a giant head and a Phantom hag, both of which were the size of a small building! Granted, you were fighting alongside me, but I’m fighting humans this time! I’ll be fine!”

Dante relented. “If you're sure.”

“I am,” replied Sunset. 

Dante looked around and saw an alleyway that he could slip down. He held his Driver On Ring over his belt buckle. [DRIVER ON!] “Hang on guys, we’re coming!” with that, he leapt from the rooftop as he punched the Nephilim Ring into the left slot of his Driver. [SET!] Dante turned his wrist forwards, making his Driver’s gate open. [OPEN!] The nephilim magic circle appeared from Dante’s Driver and he fell forwards through it. [N-E-P-H-I-L-I-M!] Dante emerged as Kamen Rider Dante in the Nephilim Style. 

All of a sudden, the place started to shift, transforming into the Slip Dimension as the buildings moved much closer together. The sky turned red and cars transformed into a wall blocking any way in or out. 

“Great,” muttered Sunset as she had been dragged in as well. She held her own Driver On Ring over her belt’s buckle. [DRIVER ON!] A magic circle appeared in front of her belt buckle and made it start to grow out into the Wizard Driver. [PLEASE!] The Driver finished forming as Symbol pressed the left Shift Lever, making the Hand Author flip to the left. [MAGICAL TOUCH HENSHIN!] She scanned the Active Ring across it. [ACTIVE PLEASE!] Then Sunset held her left glove out to the side, making the active magic circle appear and move through her. [LET’S GO!] She emerged as Kamen Rider Symbol Active Style and jumped down to meet her brother on the street. 

At the second she landed, several Blade Phantoms pulled themselves from the ground. She was about to engage them when Dante stopped her. 

“I want to try out this new ring,” he explained as he slid one of the two Rings that the Angel Ring had transformed into onto his left middle finger. It was wind blue with a sky blue gem in the centre that was shaped like a three-pointed star. 

“Ok, sure,” replied Symbol as she stepped back to give her brother some room.

“Thanks,” Dante punched the new Ring into his Driver’s left slot. [SET!] Dante turned his wrist back, then forwards making his Driver’s door, close and then open. [OPEN!] The new magic circle appeared from Dante’s Driver. It was identical to the osiris magic circle only Osiris’ image was replaced with a three-pointed shuriken outline. [A-Q-U-I-L-A!] The magic circle moved back through Dante and transformed him into the Aquila Style. 

Dante’s helmet was coloured dark blue with a pair of light blue circle shape visors for eyes and a wind blue mouth guard. His bodysuit was now coloured bright blue with wind blue gloves and boots. Dante’s chestplate was dark blue with light blue wind swirls painted onto the left side while his right shoulder pauldron was coloured wind blue and in the shape of a three-pointed shuriken. Dante’s forearms, shins and knees were in the shape of armour that was coloured wind blue. Finally, in his gloves he held a pair of three pointed throwing stars.

This is Kamen Rider Dante Aquila Style and the weapons are the Aquila Stars. 

Dante saw three Blade Phantoms running towards him and pressed the Aquila Ring into a slot in the centre of the Aquila Stars. [ONE!] A dark blue dice appeared above the Aquila Stars and spun until it stopped on a wind blue one. [SHURIKEN STRIKE!] Dante pulled the Aquila Stars back and swung them around cutting all three of the Blade Phantoms in halve and making the halves explode.

Dante looked down at the Aquila Stars in shock. “Woah! These things are much stronger than the Osiris Scythe!” he gasped in awe. “Let’s give this a shot!” he punched the Aquila Ring into the Aquila Star’s slot again. [TWO!] The dice appeared once more and spun before stopping on a two. [SHURIKEN STRIKE!] Dante threw the Aquila Stars forwards and they flashed before cloning themselves from two to six. Two of the stars wrapped around a Blade Phantom and spun around it, circling the Phantom. Suddenly, they moved back towards Dante, with all three pairs pulling a Blade Phantom with them. Once they were in arms reach, the Aquila Stars vanished with the original two appearing, held in Dante’s gloves. 

Dante quickly punched the Aquila Ring into the slot in the centre of the Aquila Stars again. [ONE!] The holographic dice appeared and lost a dot. [SHURIKEN STRIKE!] Dante swung out with the Aquila Stars, cutting all three of the Blade Phantoms in half, making all of them explode.

Suddenly, Dante was forced to duck to the side as another Blade Phantom appeared behind him and swung. Dante rolled along the ground as he punched the Aquila Ring into the slot of the Aquila Stars. [THREE!] This time the holographic dice displayed a number three. [SHURIKEN STRIKE!] Dante spun around as he threw the Aquila Stars. They circle around him before cloning into six more stars making six circles of Aquila Stars around Dante, cutting the Blade Phantom into pieces that exploded shortly after. 

Dante saw another Blade Phantom running at him and decided to attack it first. He punched the Aquila Ring into the slot on the Aquila Stars. [FIVE!] The dice appeared and spun several times before stopping on a five. [SHURIKEN STRIKE!] Dante was covered in the light blue wind as he charged forwards and shoulder tackled the Blade Phantom. Sparks came from its body as it was cut into by the wind until it exploded.

Then Dante saw four Blade Phantoms running at him. “Let’s give this move a shot!” shouted Dante as he slammed the Aquila Ring into the slot on the Aquila Stars. [FOUR!] The dice warped in and spun until it stopped on a four. [SHURIKEN STRIKE!] Dante pulled back his arms and threw the Aquila Stars. The single pair transformed into four pairs that wrapped around the Blade Phantoms, cutting into them as they circled them until the Phantoms were sawed in half and exploded.

Suddenly, Dante saw that he had been surrounded by five Blade Phantoms. “Big Slick won’t work, so in that case!” Dante pressed the Aquila Ring into the slot on the Aquila Stars. [SIX!] The dice appeared and spun until it stopped on a six. [SHURIKEN STRIKE!] The light blue wind was pulled in from all around Dante as he started to spin, quickly picking up speed until he transformed into a tornado. All of the Blade Phantoms had just leapt at him and were unable to pull back as they were shredded to pieces to by the Aquila Stars and the sharp, cutting wind.

“Ok, let's finish the rest with finishing moves!” muttered Dante as he pressed the Aquila Ring into the Aquila Star’s slot once more. [ONE!] The dice appeared and stopped on a one. [SHURIKEN STRIKE!] Dante punched the Aquila Ring into his Driver’s left slot. [KICK STRIKE GO!] Light blue wind was pulled into his legs as he leapt at another Blade Phantom. “Killer!” shouted Dante as his legs were covered in the light blue wind. He scissor kicked the Blade Phantom, trapping it between his legs. Sparks and micro explosions came from its body as it was damaged by both the pressure and the light blue wind. Then Dante hurled the Phantom into the air where it exploded.

Dante punched the Aquila Ring into the slot on the Aquila Stars. [TWO!] The dice added a single dot. [SHURIKEN STRIKE!] Dante threw the Aquila Stars forwards, making them circle around a Blade Phantom and pull it back towards him as Dante punched the Aquila Ring into the left slot of his Driver. [KICK STRIKE GO!] Dante covered his right boot in the light blue wind before kicking the Blade Phantom in the chest, making cracks spread through it before it exploded.

“Let’s give this one a go!” Dante pressed the Aquila Ring into the slot on the Aquila Stars once more. [THREE!] The dice added another number. [SHURIKEN STRIKE!] Then Dante punched the Aquila Ring into the Aquila Star’s slot again. [SHURIKEN STRIKE!] Dante threw the Aquila Stars and they circle around him while being covered in the light blue wind. “Big Slick!” this created a pair of light blue tornados and circled Dante and carved several Blade Phantoms into dust.

Dante punched the Angel Ring into the slot on the Aquila Stars again. [FOUR!] The dice appeared and spun before stopping on a four. [SHURIKEN STRIKE!] Dante pulled the Aquila Stars back and threw them forwards. They cloned themselves so that there was now six stars instead of two and circled three Blade Phantoms, trapping them in place. Then Dante punched the Aquila Ring into the left slot of his Driver. [KICK STRIKE GO!] He crouched as the light blue wind was pulled into his right boot before he jumped into the air. “Round Trip!” shouted Dante as he came shooting down and kicked one of the three Phantoms which had been pulled into his flight path by the Aquila Stars, causing it to explode. He backflipped off the Blade Phantom and went shooting down towards the second Phantom, kicking that one and making it blow up before doing the same to the last Blade Phantom. 

Dante landed back on the ground and backflipped away from the Blade Phantoms that had surrounded him. “If the normal move could make a tornado, then what will the finishing move do?!” questioned Dante as he pressed the Aquila Ring into the slot in the Aquila Stars again. [SIX!] The dice gained another two dots. [SHURIKEN STRIKE!] Dante punched the Aquila Ring into the left slot on his Driver. [KICK STRIKE GO!] Dante then started spinning around, creating a tornado of light blue wind that pulled the ten Blade Phantoms into the air with sparks coming from them. “Tornado!” until each of them exploded.

“That was cool!” shouted Dante as he came down from the air, which he had been thrown into by the tornado. He saw one last Blade Phantom down on the ground. “Time to end this!” he punched the Aquila Ring into his Driver’s left slot. [KICK STRIKE GO!] His boot was covered in light blue wind as he went shooting down and slammed it into the Phantom making it explode.

While Dante had been fighting a lot of lesser Phantoms. Symbol had been fighting a new Phantom. It was humanoid, twice hear height, had buzz saws for hands and its head was in a glowing orb in its stomach. This is the Butcher Phantom and it had sawed its way through the barrier making Symbol sweatdrop.

“That was straight out of a horror movie,” she muttered.

She switched the Active Ring for the Swift Ring and pressed the left Shift Lever. [MAGICAL TOUCH HENSHIN!] Symbol scanned her left glove across the Wizard Driver’s Hand Author. [SWIFT PLEASE!] The swift magic circle appeared over her helmet and fell through her. [DASH AWAY!] This transformed Symbol into the Swift Style. She ran towards the Butcher Phantom as she pressed the left Shift Lever twice. [MAGICAL TOUCH GO!] Symbol scanned her left glove again. [SWIFT! B RANK SPELL!] Her visors flashed as she was covered in yellow magical energy, she ran across a wall as she Phantom swung at her before landing in the empty lot as the spell wore off.

“Time to try out the new form,” shouted Symbol as she added her two new rings to her right index and ring fingers. The ring on her index finger was coloured yellow with a purple inverted triangle in the centre of it that had a brown turbine etched into the centre of it. The other ring was yellow with a purple inverted triangle gem that had a trio of red arrows in the centre of it. These are the Turbo and Zoomer Rings.

Symbol pressed the right Shift Lever making the Wizard Driver’s Hand Author flip to the right. [MAGIC TOUCHIE HENSHIN!] Then she scanned her right glove across the Wizard Driver’s Hand Author. [TURBO ZOOMER PLEASE!] Symbol threw her right glove in the air and two new magic circles unfolded. The first was a brown turbine logo inside a brown inverted triangle, inside a brown eight-pointed star, inside a brown inverted triangle that had two layers and brown runic text between the two layers. The second magic circle was three red arrows, within a red inverted triangle, within a red eight-pointed star, within a red inverted triangle that had two layers and red runic text between the two layers. These are the turbo and zoomer magic circles.

The two magic circles fell through Symbol, transforming her into the new Swift Substyle. The bronze inverted triangle in the centre of her chestplate transformed into a pair of logos, the first of which was a brown turbine while the other was three red arrows. Symbol’s shoulder pauldrons turned brown with dark brown outlines and in front of them was a silver blade with red outlines. Her forearm armour turned brown with dark brown outlines and on the back of them was a pair of silver cylinders with a brown spike coming from the middle of them. Her grieves turned bright red with silver outlines as did her knee armour only it shifted into a pair of U. Her boots turned bright red with a pair of silver spikes coming from her heels.

This is Kamen Rider Symbol Swift Turbo Zoomer Style. 

The Butcher Phantom gave a loud roar as it ran at Symbol, slashing at her with its buzzsaws. Symbol reacted by pressing the right Shift lever twice. [MAGIC TOUCHIE GO!] Then scanning her right glove. [ZOOMER MAGIC PLEASE!] Her body was covered in red mana as she dodged to the side and kicked the Phantom in the chest. There was a shattering glass sound as it stumbled back with sparks coming from the orb in its gut from the damage.

The Butcher Phantom gave a roar of outrage it swing at Symbol once more. She dodged the first swing while hitting the right Shift Lever once. [MAGIC TOUCHIE GO!] Then Symbol jumped over the second swing as she scanned her right glove across the Wizard Driver’s Hand Author. [TURBO MAGIC PLEASE!] The turbines on both of her arms started to spin as Symbol pulled her left fist back and punched the Butcher Phantom in the gut orb once more making more sparks fly from it as the Butcher Phantom staggered back in pain from the blow.

Symbol landed back on the ground and dashed towards the Butcher Phantom with the turbines charging for another attack. Suddenly, the Butcher Phantom cross both of its arms and threw them outwards, firing several buzzsaws constructs. “WOAH!” shouted Symbol as she threw herself into a spin that carried her over the constructs. Sparks flew from her back plate as one of the buzzsaws clipped it.

“Argh!” shouted Symbol as she managed to land back on the ground and ran at the Butcher Phantom while hitting the right Shift Lever three times. [MAGIC TOUCHIE GO!] The Phantom crossed its arms again just as Symbol scanned her right glove across the Wizard Driver’s Hand Author. [TURBO ZOOMER MAGIC PLEASE!] The whole world slowed down for her as her Zoomer Grieves glowed with red magic. The Butcher Phantom fired its buzzsaw constructs again, but Symbol was able to dodge around them with ease and punched the Phantom in the chest, sending it flying backwards this time from the speed and force behind the punch.

The Butcher Phantom flew back and landed on the ground with sparks coming from its body as Symbol took her opening by slamming her glove down on the left Shift Lever once. [MAGICAL TOUCH GO!] Then she scanned the Swift Ring. [SWIFT! C RANK SPELL!] Yellow magical energy covered her left arm as she swept it to the side, forming five orbs of yellow magical energy. They shot at the Butcher Phantom and exploded violently, making sparks explode from its body as well as micro explosions.

Suddenly, the Butcher Phantom glowed with red fiery magical energy as it zoomed forwards. “What the-?” shouted Symbol before she was cut off as the Butcher Phantom rammed its saws into her chest plate, making sparks explode from it as Symbol was sent flying backwards. “ARGH!” she slammed into a wall and slid down it. Painting for breath Symbol threw herself to the side and avoided another saw as the Butcher Phantom brought it down where she just was. “That was close!” gasped Symbol as she jumped back and pressed the right Shift Lever once. [MAGIC TOUCHIE GO!] Then she scanned her right glove across the Wizard Driver’s Hand Author. [TURBO MAGIC PLEASE!] Symbol hit the right Shift Lever four times. [MAGIC TOUCHIE GO! VERY NICE!] Then slide under another swing as she scanned her right glove again. [TURBO ZOOMER MAGIC! THE BEST!] The Turbine Gauntlets started to spin as the turbines extended outwards and forwards slightly. “Turbo Boost!” shouted Symbol as she pulled her right fist back and slammed it into the Phantom’s gut, with the sound of shattering glass the Butcher Phantom was sent flying backwards.

“Man! This thing is tough!” shouted Symbol as she pressed the right Shift Lever twice more. [MAGIC TOUCHIE GO!] Then she scanned her right glove across the Wizard Driver’s Hand Author. [TURBO ZOOMER MAGIC PLEASE!] Symbol was covered in red magical energy, as was the Butcher Phantom. The two of them charged at each other with Symbol twisting to the side, avoiding a buzz saw and then slashing the Butcher Phantom with the Swift Dagger. She backed off to avoid another buzz saw before kicking the Phantom in the face, stunning it for a second.

That was all the time she needed to press the right Shift Lever four times. [MAGIC TOUCHIE GO! VERY NICE!] Symbol had to jump and dodge to the side, avoiding several buzzsaw constructs as she scanned her right glove across the Wizard Driver’s Hand Author. [TURBO ZOOMER MAGIC! THE BEST!] Red mana covered her left boot. “Zoomer Kick!” shouted Symbol as she buried her right boot in the Butcher Phantom’s face, sending it flying back.

The Butcher Phantom used the distance to cross its arms and fire five buzzsaw constructs at Symbol. She hit the left Shift Lever once. [MAGICAL TOUCH GO!] Then scanned her left glove again. [SWIFT! C RANK SPELL!] She swiped her left arm to the side and five orbs of yellow magical energy appeared before shooting forwards blocking the buzzsaws. They held for several seconds before the buzzsaws ignited on fire and cut through the orbs, continuing on their course towards Symbol!

“Let’s give this a go!” shouted Symbol as she struck the left Shift Lever four times. [MAGICAL TOUCH GO! VERY NICE!] Then she swiped her left glove. [SWIFT! S RANK SPELL! THE BEST!] Symbol swung her left arm to the side and five more orbs of yellow magical energy appeared. “Swift Star!” shouted Symbol as the orbs transformed into beams that cut through the buzzsaws, making them explode. But they had been close enough that sparks came from Symbol’s armour thanks to the explosions.

The two of them glared at each other. ‘Time to end this!’ both of them thought as Symbol slammed her glove down on the left Shift Lever four times. [MAGICAL TOUCH GO! VERY NICE!] Then she scanned her left glove. [SWIFT! S RANK SPELL! THE BEST!] Yellow magical energy surged around her as Symbol shot forwards and leapt into a flying kick. “Swift Kick!” the Butcher Phantom swung at her but it missed judged her speed as Symbol slammed her boot into its gut, sending it flying back before it exploded from the amount of damage it had taken.

Suddenly, black rock barriers appeared and parts of scaffolding broke away as a hole opened in one of the upper floors. “Damn it!” snarled out Dante as he understood what was happening. “Their breaking in from the Slip Dimension too!”

“How do we get in now?” asked Symbol.

“This way!” shouted Dante as he pressed a button on the Aquila Stars. [HOOK MODE!] They transformed into the Angel Lift and he used it to get onto a piece of scaffolding. Before jumping to another piece and then hooking onto the third piece of scaffolding that was level with the hole, only for blue vines to block it! “They're too far for Osiris, so Aquila will have to do!” Dante turned the Angel Lift’s handle. [SHURIKEN MODE!] It broke apart and reformed into the Aquila Stars as Dante punched the Aquila Ring into the slot on them. [FOUR!] The dice appeared above the Aquila Stars and spun before stopping on a four. [SHURIKEN STRIKE!] Dante pulled the Aquila Stars back and threw them forwards, making them cut through the vines.

The Aquila Stars reformed in his gloves as Dante pressed the button on them. [HOOK MODE!] The Aquila Stars combined into the Angel Lift and Dante used it took hook onto the top of the hole and pull himself into it. “Where are you guys?” muttered Dante.

“Their probably downstairs,” replied Symbol as she changed the Swift Ring for the Giga Ring and hit the left Shift Lever. [MAGICAL TOUCH HENSHIN!] She scanned the Giga Ring across the Wizard Driver’s Hand Author. [GIGA PLEASE!] Symbol held her left glove down to the ground and the giga magic circle appeared. [BREAK THROUGH!] It rose up through her, transforming Symbol into the Giga Style as she pressed the left Shift Lever again. [MAGICAL TOUCH SPELL!] Symbol scanned the Giga Ring for a second time. [GIGA C RANK SPELL!] A thin layer of green magic glowed around her right glove as she hit the left Shift Lever four more times. [MAGICAL TOUCH GO! VERY NICE!] Then Symbol scanned the Giga Ring for the third time. [GIGA! S RANK SPELL! THE BEST!] The glowing layer blazed with green magic energy as Symbol brought back her right fist. “Giga Smash!” she shouted as she slammed her fist into a black metal wall and caused it to break into pieces.

“Now where do we go?!” shouted Dante as they had run into a room with no exits or black metal walls to break. “Did we take a wrong turn?!” he demanded.

For a second Symbol agreed, before looking down and saw that the floor was made of black metal. She drew the Giga Axe and pulled on its thumb, opening its Hand Author. [COME ON A SMASH SHAKE HANDS!] Then Symbol scanned the Giga Ring across it. [GIGA SMASH STRIKE!] Making green magic energy blaze around the blade of the Giga Axe like a fire.

“Hey, what are you doing?!” demanded Dante.

“This! Giga Impact!” shouted Symbol as she slammed the Giga Axe down on the floor and made it shatter, dropping them into the room below.

“A little bit of warning would have been nice!” shouted Dante as he turned the Angel Lift’s handle. [SHURIKEN MODE!] It transformed back into the Aquila Stars and Dante punched the Aquila Ring into their slot. [FOUR!] The dice appeared and spun before stopping on a four. [SHURIKEN STRIKE!] Dante pressed down on the Aquila Star’s trigger. [SHURIKEN STRIKE!] The light blue wind wrapped around the Aquila Stars. “Round Trip!” Dante hurled them forwards and they cut through the vines which were blocking a door like a hot knife through butter.

The two of them ran through the door and dropped down through a hole in the floor. They found the door was sealed by another black metal wall.

“Leave it to me!” shouted Symbol as she hit the left Shift Lever. [MAGICAL TOUCH SPELL!] Then she scanned the Giga Ring. [GIGA C RANK SPELL!] Her right glove started to glow with green magical energy as Symbol pressed the left Shift Lever four more times. [MAGICAL TOUCH GO! VERY NICE!] Then Symbol scanned the Giga Ring again. [GIGA! S RANK SPELL! THE BEST!] Green magical energy blazed around her right glove as Symbol clenched it into a fist and drove it forwards. “Giga Fist!” it impacted the black metal wall and shattered the wall with ease.

In the real world, a member of The Order got off the ground and started to run for his life from a member of SWAT.

“Hey! Can you hear-!” began Dante.

“Don’t shoot!” cried The Order member. Right before he was killed by the SWAT Trooper.

“NO!” shouted Symbol. 

“Damn!” growled Dante. “Kate!” he yelled, hoping that she could hear him. “Where are you?”

“Vergil!” shouted Symbol.

They arrived on another black metal floor. Symbol pulled on the Giga Axe’s thumb, opening its Hand Author. [COME ON A SMASH SHAKE HANDS!] Then Symbol scanned the Giga Ring across the Giga Axe’s Hand Author. [GIGA SMASH STRIKE!] Green magical energy gathered around it. “Giga Impact!” Symbol brought the Giga Axe down and smashed the floor to pieces.

“We’re getting deeper and deeper,” commented Dante as they arrived at another black metal wall.

“Tell me about it,” muttered Symbol as she pressed the left Shift Lever once. [MAGICAL TOUCH SPELL!] Then she scanned her left glove across the Wizard Driver’s Hand Author. [GIGA C RANK SPELL!] Green magic glowed around her left glove as Symbol pressed the left Shift Lever four more times. [MAGICAL TOUCH GO! VERY NICE!] Then she swiped the Giga Ring. [GIGA! S RANK SPELL! THE BEST!] The green magic surged as Symbol brought back her left fist. “Giga Fist!” it impacted the wall and shattered it into millions of fragments.

They ran through the hole and found themselves in a large storage area. On the far side was a Butcher Phantom trying to saw through the wall. But there were several circles of mystic design made of graffiti and pure energy that was blocking the Phantom from cutting into the wall. 

“The graffiti, it’s keeping them out,” realised Dante.

“Nice work you two,” whispered Symbol.

“It won’t hold forever,” pointed out Dante.

“Then let’s get down there!” ordered Symbol as she jumped down. 

“Over here saw boy!” shouted Dante.

The Butcher Phantom turned to them as several Blade Phantoms burst from the ground.

“This time, you take the giant,” ordered Symbol.

“Ok!” replied Dante.

Symbol switched the Giga Ring for the Active Ring and hit the left Shift Lever. [MAGICAL TOUCH HENSHIN!] She scanned the Active Ring across the Wizard Driver’s Hand Author. [ACTIVE PLEASE!] Then held her left glove out to the side, making the active magic circle appear and move through her. [LET’S GO!] Symbol was transformed into the Active Style and pressed the left Shift Lever three times. [MAGICAL TOUCH GO!] She scanned the Active Ring again. [ACTIVE! A RANK SPELL!] Red lightning covered Symbol’s body and was fired forwards in a giant beam that impacted the four Blade Phantom, crackling over their bodies painfully and stunning them.

Symbol hit the lever Shift Lever four times. [MAGICAL TOUCH GO! VERY NICE!] As the Blade Phantoms started to recover she scanned the Active Ring again. [ACTIVE! S RANK SPELL! THE BEST!] Symbol covered her body in lightning before focusing it on her right boot. “Lightning Strike!” shouted Symbol as she jumped into the air, flipped and came shooting down with her lightning covered boot extended forwards. It impacted the Phantoms and caused them to explode.

All of a sudden, Symbol was forced to jump to the side as a Rage Phantom came spiralling past her. “I was wondering when one of you was going to show up!” Symbol added the Boost and Defend Rings to her right glove and hit the right Shift Lever. [MAGIC TOUCHIE HENSHIN!] Then she scanned her right glove and held it out to the side. [BOOST DEFEND PLEASE!] The two magic circles appeared to her right and moved through her, transforming Symbol into the Active Boost Defend Style. The Rage Phantom snarled at her as it fired a barrage of quills. Symbol saw them coming and slammed her glove down on the right Shift Lever twice. [MAGIC TOUCHIE GO!] She scanned her right glove. [DEFEND MAGIC PLEASE!] Grey magical energy covered the Defend Shield as Symbol swept it to the side, deflecting the quills. 

The Rage phantom gave a roar as it charged at Symbol, who hit the right Shift Lever four more times. [MAGIC TOUCHIE GO! VERY NICE!] Symbol pulled back the Defend Shield as she scanned her right glove. [BOOST DEFEND MAGIC! THE BEST!] The Defend Shield was covered in grey magical energy as Symbol threw it forwards. “Defend Wall!” shouted Symbol as the Defend Shield spun towards its target.

The Rage Phantom snarled it set both of its claws on fire and used them to block the shield before deflecting it. Symbol had wanted it to do this as she drew the Active Blade and pulled on its thumb, open its Hand Author. [COME ON A SHOOTING SHAKE HANDS!] Then she scanned the Active Ring across it. [ACTIVE! SHOOTING STRIKE!] Red magical energy appeared from the Active Rifle’s barrel. “Red Bolt!” Symbol fired five red lightning bolts that arced around and slammed into the Phantom, causing it to go flying back with sparks coming from its body.

The Rage Phantom roared as it landed on the ground before wincing as sparks came from its side. Symbol saw this and converted the Active Rifle into the Active Blade as she pulled on its thumb, opening its Hand Author. [COME ON A SLASH SHAKE HANDS!] Then Symbol scanned the Active Ring. [ACTIVE! SLASH STRIKE!] Red lightning blazed along the Active Blade as Symbol ran forwards. The Rage Phantom met her charge with a lunged. Symbol twisted around the Phantom’s claws. “Red Slash!” before cutting it in half with the sword, making both halves fall through the air and explode.

Suddenly, three Lesser Blade Phantoms burst from the ground. “Oh please!” Symbol slammed her glove down on the left Shift Lever three times. [MAGIC TOUCHIE GO!] Then scanned her right glove. [BOOST DEFEND MAGIC PLEASE!] She jumped into the air as she struck the right Shift Lever four more times. [MAGIC TOUCHIE GO! VERY NICE!] Then Symbol scanned the rings on her right glove. [BOOST DEFEND MAGIC! THE BEST!] Her boots were covered by a grey shield construct. “Falling Kick!” Symbol went shooting back down and crushed the Phantoms under the construct, making them explode.

Dante jumped back as the Butcher Phantom sent a single, large buzzsaw construct flying at him. He changed the Aquila Ring for the Nephilim Ring and punched it into his Driver’s left slot. [SET!] Dante turned his wrist back, then forwards, making his Driver’s gate close and open. [OPEN!] The nephilim magic circle appeared from his Driver, blocking a slash from the Butcher Phantom before moving back through Dante, transforming him into the Nephilim Style. [N-E-P-H-I-L-I-M!] He drew the Rebellion Blade and punched the Nephilim Ring into the slot at the base of its handle. [FOUR!] The mouth opened to show four red and blue dots. [NEPHILIM SABER STRIKE!] Dante jumped into the air and slashed at the Butcher’s gut orb three times before dropped back to the ground as a slash went over his helmet. 

Suddenly, Dante was sent flying as he was forced to use the Rebellion Blade to block another slash from the Butcher Phantom. He flipped through the air and landed on his boots, looking up, just in time for another buzzsaw construct to slam into his faceplate, drawing sparks and send him flipping helmet over heels. With a snarl, Dante ran at the Butcher Phantom as he pressed down on the Rebellion Blade’s trigger. [NEPHILIM SABER STRIKE!] Red and blue magic covered the sword’s blade as Dante jumped into the air. “Aerial Rave!” he slashed at the Phantom’s chest orb three more times before getting punched with one of the buzzsaws and sent flying back again. 

“This is getting me nowhere!” shouted Dante in anger as he changed the Nephilim Ring for the Osiris Ring and punched it into his Driver’s left slot. [SET!] Dante twisted his wrist twice, making his Driver’s gate close and open. [OPEN!] The osiris magic circle appeared from his Driver and moved back through Dante. [O-S-I-R-I-S!] Transforming him into the Osiris Style. It was identical to the Aquila Style, only his right shoulder guard was in the shape of a light blue scythe blade.

Dante punched the Osiris Ring into a slot at the base of the Osiris Scythe’s handle. [TWO!] A wind blue holographic dice appeared above the scythe and spun before stopping when it displayed a pair of dark blue dots. [SCYTHE STRIKE!] Dante ran forwards and started spinning the Osiris Scythe making sparks fly from the Butcher Phantom’s gut orb accompanied by the sound of shattering glass.

Suddenly, the Butcher Phantom slashed at Dante’s legs. But he was able to see it coming thanks to his increased speed. He jumped into the air and punched the Osiris Ring into the base of the Osiris Scythe’s handle. [THREE!] The dice flipped sides, adding another dot. [SCYTHE STRIKE!] Dante then used the Osiris Scythe to pull up like a fishing hook, straight through the Phantom’s gut orb.

Dante landed back on the ground as the Butcher Phantom crossed its arms. His visors went wide as he backflipped through the air, over the five buzzsaw constructs that the Butcher Phantom sent at him. Dante pressed the Osiris Ring into the base of the Osiris Scythe’s handle. [FIVE!] The dice spun before stopping when it showed five dots. [SCYTHE STRIKE!] Dante spun around, slashing the Butcher Phantom’s gut orb several times before ending on a powerful downwards slash.

Dante landed back on the ground as the Butcher Phantom sent itself on fire and slashed at him. Dante jumped back, narrowly avoiding a buzzsaw that was aimed at his gut and punched the Osiris Ring into the bottom of the Osiris Scythe’s handle. [SIX!] The dice spun and then stopped when it displayed another dot. [SCYTHE STRIKE!] Dante closed the distance in the blink of an eye as he rammed the Osiris Scythe into the gut of the Butcher Phantom.

The Phantom collapsed to its knees with sparks coming from its body and micro explosions going off around it. “Now’s my chance!” shouted Dante as he slammed the Osiris Ring into the left slot of his Driver. [KICK STRIKE GO!] The light blue wind surrounded his body as Dante dashed forwards. “Streak!” shouted Dante as he covered his right boot with the light blue wind and slammed it into the Butcher Phantom’s gut orb. Sparks bleed from its body as the Phantom exploded.

At that moment a Tyrant Phantom and several Wizard Phantom’s exploded from the ground. Dante ran after the Tyrant Phantom as Symbol moved to engage the Wizard Phantoms.

Knowing that it would be better to fight them at range, Symbol switched the Active Ring for the Burst Ring and hit the left Shift Lever. [MAGICAL TOUCH HENSHIN!] She scanned the Burst Ring across the Wizard Driver’s Hand Author. [BURST PLEASE!] Symbol held her left glove out the side with the palm facing backwards, the burst magic circle appeared behind her and moved through her, transforming Symbol into the Burst Style. [CAST THE SPELL!] She pulled out the Burst Wand and pulled on its thumb, opening its Hand Author. [COME ON A CAST SHAKE HANDS!] Then she scanned the Burst Ring across the Burst Wand’s Hand Author. [BURST! CAST STRIKE!] A ball of purple magic appeared in front of the Burst Wand. “Burst Beam!” shouted Symbol as the orb transformed into a beam of purple magic that tore through a pair of Wizard Phantom’s shield’s and all making both of them explode.

“SUNSET! WOULD YOU DEAL WITH THOSE WIZARD PHANTOM’S ALREADY?!” came Dante’s enerage shout.

Symbol glanced over to see what Dante was so mad about and did a classic double take when she saw that the Tyrant Phantom now had a shield around it. “How the-?! What the-?! When did it-?!” then she understood when she saw one of the Wizard Phantom’s that she had not touched with no shield. “They can transfer their shields?! That is so not on!!” growled Symbol.

Suddenly, sparks exploded from her backplate as another drill spear slammed into her. Symbol snarled in anger as she added the Steam and Radiation Rings to her right glove before pressing the right Shift Lever. [MAGIC TOUCHIE HENSHIN!] Then she scanned her right glove before holding it out to the side with her palm facing backwards. [STEAM RADIATION PLEASE!] The two magic circle appeared and moved through her, transforming Symbol into the Burst Steam Radiation Style. Symbol pressed the right Shift Lever twice. [MAGIC TOUCHIE GO!] Then she scanned her right glove just as two more spinning red spears were fired at her. [RADIATION MAGIC PLEASE!] Symbol threw both of her gloves forwards and fired a wide beam of radiation that tore through the spear and destroyed the shield of a single Wizard Phantom. 

Suddenly, Symbol was forced to jump to the side as the Wizard Phantom who’s shield she had smashed fired a line of rocks at her. Symbol struck the right Shift Lever four times. [MAGIC TOUCHIE GO! VERY NICE!] Then Symbol scanned her right glove. [STEAM RADIATION MAGIC! THE BEST!] She spun both of her arms in a circle and formed a ring of green radiation. “Radiation Burst!” shouted Symbol as she ring zoomed forwards and sawed the Wizard Phantom in half, making both halves explode.

Seeing that she only had two Wizard Phantoms left to beat, Symbol pressed the right Shift Lever once. [MAGIC TOUCHIE GO!] Then she ran forwards as she scanned her right glove across the Wizard Driver’s Hand Author. [STEAM MAGIC PLEASE!] Her body transformed into a cloud of steam, Symbol manoeuvred around a line of rocks before wrapping around a Wizard Phantom’s shield, damaging it. Only for the Phantom to make the shield explode, forcing Symbol back into her humanoid form with sparks coming from her body. 

“OW! That hurt!” shouted Symbol as she pressed the right Shift Lever three times. [MAGIC TOUCHIE GO!] Both of the Wizard Phantom’s fired a red drilling spear at Symbol as she scanned her right glove across the Wizard Driver’s Hand Author. [STEAM RADIATION MAGIC PLEASE!] She fired a helax of steam and radiation from her left glove that roared towards both of the Phantoms. Wanting a bit of an extra kick, Symbol pressed the left Shift Lever once. [MAGICAL TOUCH GO!] Then scanned the Burst Ring. [BURST! C RANK SPELL!] Four flames ignited around her and shot forwards as they transformed into blazing balls of fire that impacted the Wizard Phantoms at the same time as the helix, destroying the both of them.

Or at least Symbol thought that until the line of rocks came shooting at her. She threw herself to the side and pressed the left Shift Lever four more times. [MAGICAL TOUCH GO! VERY NICE!] Symbol scanned her left glove again and pointed at the Wizard Phantom which had survived. [BURST! S RANK SPELL! THE BEST!] Ten balls of white-hot fire appeared around the Phantom. “Fire Swarm!” at their creator’s command they rocketed inwards and detonated, destroying the Phantom.

Dante had been getting his butt kicked for the last five minutes!

It was impossible to harm a Tyrant Phantom with the Rebellion Blade, the Osiris Scythe or the Aquila Stars.

But every time he switched to the Eryx Gauntlets or the Arbiter Axe that shield from the Wizard Phantom blocked them.

Then, every time he switched to the Aquila Stars or the Osiris Scythe to destroy the shield it vanished.

Not only that, but the Tyrant Phantom was not letting him anywhere near the Wizard Phantom that kept making the shield!

It was maddening!

Thankfully, Symbol had killed the Wizard Phantom and last.

“Payback time!” Dante switched the Arbiter Ring for the Devil Trigger Ring. ‘Screw conserving energy! I’m taking this thing down now!’ he mentally screamed. Dante punched the Devil Trigger Ring into his Driver’s left slot. [TRIGGER!] Dante turned his wrist back and then forwards, making his Driver’s gate close and open. [DEVIL GO!] The devil trigger ring came from Dante’s Driver and then moved back through him. [DE-DE-DE-DEVIL!] Transforming Dante into the Devil Trigger Style.

Dante drew the Rebellion magnum, only to see that it had transformed. It was still a blockly blaster with a single large barrel but was now coloured earth red with flame red outlines. It still had a silver skull on the left side with a pair of silver bones coming from the back of it that formed a T with the handle. Coming from the bottom of the barrel was a flame red bayonet with earth red outlines. In the bottom of the handle was a red cylinder that looked like it could be pulled out and turned. On the back of it was a screen that displayed an image of the Arbiter Axe. This is the Rebellion Magnum Arbiter Mode.

“Would you look at that?” muttered Dante. He took aim and fired a cannon like burst that sent the Tyrant Phantom staggering backwards. Dante punched the Devil Trigger Ring into the back of the Rebellion Magnum Arbiter Mode. [ONE! DEVIL!] A flame red holographic one with earth red outlines appeared next to the Rebellion Magnum’s skull. [MAGNUM STRIKE!] Dante took aim and fired three bursts of red energy that slammed into the Tyrant Phantom staggering it.

The Phantom set itself on fire and charged at Dante, before jumping into the air and coming down with a belly flop. Dante punched the Devil Trigger Ring into the back of the Rebellion Magnum. [THREE! DEVIL!] The one transformed into a three as energy started to gather in the magnum’s barrel. [MAGNUM STRIKE!] Dante pointed the Rebellion Magnum at the ground and pulled the trigger, firing a blast of red energy into the ground that burst out in a red pillar, sending the Tyrant Phantom shooting back into the air while badly burning its body.

“Keep up the pressure!” shouted Dante as he slammed the Devil Trigger Ring into the back of the Rebellion Magnum again. [FIVE! DEVIL!] The holographic red three transformed into a holographic red five. [MAGNUM STRIKE!] Dante pointed the Rebellion Magnum into the air and pulled the trigger, firing a blast of red magic that formed into a ball. It shot into the air and landed on top of the Tyrant Phantom like a meteor. Sparks flew from the Phantom’s body as it pulled itself out from under the meteor.

“Finale!” shouted Dante as he held down on the Rebellion Magnum’s trigger. [DEVIL!] Ten rings of red energy were pulled into the gun as Dante aim up and let go of the trigger. [MAGNUM STRIKE!] An orb of red energy was fired into the air and as the Tyrant Phantom ran under it, the orb transformed into a pillar of red magic energy. “Drop!” shouted Dante as the pillar made contact and caused the Phantom to explode.

[SET!] [OPEN!] [A-R-B-I-T-E-R!] At that moment Dante’s Devil Trigger Style ran out of power and he transformed back into the Arbiter Style.

In the real world, several SWAT officers ran towards the door. “The female has locked the perimeter doors!” shouted one of them.

“We’re blasting them open!” ordered another.

A charge was placed. 

“Armed!” shouted one of them.

*BEEP BEEP BEEP! BOOM!*

To Symbol and Dante’s horror, the door had been blasted open.

“GO!” shouted one of the SWAT officers.

“Remember, dead or alive!” ordered one of the SWAT officers.

“Which means dead,” confirmed another member of SWAT.

“Cowards!” shouted Dante.

“They can’t hear you!” explained Symbol.

“It makes me feel better!” protested Dante.

“Focus on running!” ordered Symbol.

“Another door!” shouted a SWAT officer.

A charge was placed.

“Ready?!” confirmed one of them.

“Three! Two! One!” shouted the SWAT detonator.

*BOOM!* 

The door was blasted open.

“Proceed!” ordered a SWAT officer.

“Kate! Are you there?!” shouted Dante.

“Vergil! Where are you?!” shouted Symbol.

“Stay out of sight! You hear!” shouted Dante.

“We’ve gotta get to them first!” stated Symbol.

“I KNOW THAT!” Dante roared back.

“Go again!” yelled a SWAT member as they came to another door.

*BOOM!*

This time the door held.

“It’s barricaded from the inside!” yelled a SWAT officer.

“That’s right Kate,” muttered Dante.

“She knows we’re here!” yelled a SWAT member.

“You keep them out!” snarled Symbol.

“We need another demo squad here. NOW!” shouted a SWAT leader.

“That won’t hold for long!” snarled Symbol. 

Then the Phantoms arrived. This time there were no high-level Phantoms like the Rages, Tyrants and Butchers. Only a lot of lower level Phantoms such as Lesser Blade Phantoms and Icarus Phantoms.

“This should be easy!” commented Symbol.

“Don’t underestimate their numbers sis,” warned Dante as they charged.

Symbol switched the Burst Ring for the Active Ring and pressed the left Shift Lever. [MAGICAL TOUCH HENSHIN!] Then she scanned the Active Ring across the Wizard Driver’s Hand Author. [ACTIVE PLEASE!] Symbol held her left glove out to the side and the active magic circle appeared before moving through her, transforming Symbol into the Active Style. [LET’S GO!] She pulled the Active Blade off her back and used it to block a slash from a Lesser Blade Phantom while pressing the left Shift Lever once. [MAGICAL TOUCH GO!] She jumped back and scanned the Active Ring. [ACTIVE! C RANK SPELL!] Symbol ran forwards as her right glove was covered in red lightning and she gave the Lesser Blade Phantom a palm strike to the face that sent it staggering back with lightning cracking over its body. 

Symbol then jumped into the air as another Lesser Blade Phantom ran under her and into the other Lesser Blade Phantom. Symbol pressed the left Shift Lever three times. [MAGICAL TOUCH GO!] Then scanned the Active Ring. [ACTIVE! A RANK SPELL!] Red lightning covered her body before focusing into a beam that shot forwards and slammed into one of the Icarus Phantom’s tearing through its shield and causing both it as well as three other Icarus Phantoms to explode.

Then Symbol hit the left Shift Lever four times. [MAGICAL TOUCH GO! VERY NICE!] Before scanning the Active Ring as red lightning gathered around her body. [ACTIVE! S RANK SPELL! THE BEST!] The lightning was focused into her right boot as she went shooting down, impacting both of the Lesser Blade Phantoms with her charged boot. The red lightning was transferred to them and sparked over the Phantoms as both of them fell over and exploded.

Symbol backflipped out of the explosion, then added the Ice and Bind Rings to her right glove, before hitting the right Shift Lever. [MAGIC TOUCHIE HENSHIN!] Symbol scanned her right glove across the Wizard Driver’s Hand Author. [ICE BIND PLEASE!] She held her right glove out to the side and the two magic circles appeared, blocking a bomb from a Valkyrie Phantom as they passed through her. Symbol saw another Lesser Blade Phantom running at her and hit the right Shift Lever once. [MAGIC TOUCHIE GO!] Then she scanned her right glove as she slammed her left fist into the ground. [ICE MAGIC PLEASE!] The floor flash froze over, stopping the Lesser Blade Phantom in its tracks as its feet were frozen.

Symbol turned to the Valkyrie Phantom that had thrown the bomb at her and hit the right Shift Lever twice. [MAGIC TOUCHIE GO!] Symbol scanned her right glove as the Grapple Gauntlet started to emit orange magic. [BIND MAGIC PLEASE!] Symbol threw the Grapple Gauntlet forwards and fired an orange chain that wrapped around the Valkyrie Phantom, pulling it back towards her as Symbol slammed her glove down on the left Shift Lever twice. [MAGICAL TOUCH GO!] Then she swiped her left glove. [ACTIVE! B RANK SPELL!] Red lightning appeared around her left arm as she hit the Valkyrie Phantom in the face with her forearm guard making red lightning cracked across it, sending it flying back.

Only for Symbol to jerk it back with the chain as she hit the left Shift Lever four times. [MAGICAL TOUCH GO! VERY NICE!] Symbol scanned her left glove. [ACTIVE! S RANK SPELL! THE BEST!] Red lightning covered Symbol’s left arm as she brought it around. “Thunder Rage!” shouted Symbol. She slammed the back of her forearm into the Phantom and sent it staggering back with sparks coming off its body before it exploded.

Symbol turned to glare at the still frozen Lesser Blade Phantom as she pressed the left Shift Lever once. [MAGICAL TOUCH GO!] She scanned her left glove. [ACTIVE! C RANK SPELL!] Then Symbol struck the left Shift Lever four more times. [MAGICAL TOUCH GO! VERY NICE!] Symbol swiped her left glove. [ACTIVE! S RANK SPELL! THE BEST!] She pulled back her fist as it was covered in bright red lightning and blood red magical energy. “Active Strike!” shouted Symbol as she belted the Lesser Blade Phantom across the face, making an explosion consume it as the Phantom’s neck broke. 

Suddenly, Symbol saw a Death Knight Phantom moving towards her, it slashed her across her side. “Argh!” shouted Symbol as she rolled with the blow and got back to her boots quick enough. She hit the right Shift Lever three times. [MAGIC TOUCHIE GO!] As she scanned her right glove across the Wizard Driver’s Hand Author Symbol punched the ground with her left glove. [ICE BIND MAGIC PLEASE!] Instead of flash freezing the ground, several spikes of ice burst from it around the Death Knight Phantom, locking around it so that the Phantom was unable to move.

Knowing that she was powerless to harm the Phantom in her Active Style, Symbol switched the Active Ring for the Giga Ring and pressed the left Shift Lever. [MAGICAL TOUCH HENSHIN!] Then Symbol scanned her left glove. [GIGA PLEASE!] She held the Giga Ring down to the ground and the giga magic circle appeared, moving up through her and transforming Symbol into the Giga Style. [BREAK THROUGH!] Just in time as the Death Knight Phantom broke free from its icy prison. Symbol pressed the left Shift Lever twice more. [MAGICAL TOUCH SPELL!] Then she scanned the Giga Ring. [GIGA B RANK SPELL!] Green magical energy covered her left glove as Symbol lashed out with a chop, breaking the Death Knight Phantom’s shield.

Only for the Death Knight Phantom to slash her across the shoulder pauldron with its blade, drawing a few sparks as Symbol pressed the left Shift Lever four times. [MAGICAL TOUCH GO! VERY NICE!] Then she scanned the Giga Ring. [GIGA! S RANK SPELL! THE BEST!] Green magical energy blazed around Symbol’s right glove as she pulled it back and slammed it into the ground. “Giga Smash!” shouted Symbol as two lines of green magic travelled from the impact point and threw the Death Knight Phantom into the air where it exploded.

Suddenly, Symbol tensed as a Hell Knight Phantom burst out of the ground behind her and roared. “Looks like we were wrong about this being easy,” muttered Symbol as she drew the Giga Spear and pulled on its thumb, opening its Hand Author. [COME ON A STAB SHAKE HANDS!] She scanned the Giga Ring across the Giga Spear’s Hand Author. [GIGA! STAB STRIKE!] Symbol spun the Giga Spear twice allowing green magical energy to charge within it before hurling it at the Hell Knight Phantom. “Piercing Giga!” shouted Symbol as her weapon impacted the Hell Knight Phantom’s shield. In spite of it having tensed the Phantom was still driven back several paces and its shield started to crack. The Hell Knight Phantom threw its shield to the side, knocking the Giga Spear away from it and into the wall.

Symbol had used this time to added the Punch and Drill Rings to her right glove before pressing the right Shift Lever. [MAGIC TOUCHIE HENSHIN!] Symbol scanned her right glove then held it down to the ground as the two magic circles unfolded beneath her boots. [PUNCH DRILL PLEASE!] They rose up through her and transformed Symbol into the Giga Punch Drill Style. She slammed her glove down on the right Shift Lever once. [MAGIC TOUCHIC GO!] Symbol scanned her right glove. [PUNCH MAGIC PLEASE!] The Punch Drillers started to spin and were covered in red flames as Symbol ran forwards and punched the Hell Knight Phantom. It was able to block the first swing, but Symbol’s other fist arced around and slammed into its faceplate from the other side making sparks explode from it. 

The Hell Knight Phantom was sent skidding back before it rammed its sword into the ground. Knowing what was coming, Symbol pressed the right Shift Lever three times. [MAGIC TOUCHIC GO!] Then scanned the Drill Ring. [DRILL MAGIC PLEASE!] Purple magical energy covered her right Punch Driller as Symbol pulled it back. The drills started to spin as Symbol slammed them into the ground. Just as the Hell Knight Phantom set the ground around it on fire, a wall of solid rock burst from the ground and shielded Symbol from the flames.

Symbol quickly ran up the rock wall as she changed Rings and pressed the right Shift Lever. [MAGIC TOUCHIE HENSHIN!] Then she scanned the Bombardment and Terra Rings across the Wizard Driver’s Hand Author before holding her right glove down. [BOMBARDMENT TERRA PLEASE!] She jumped off the wall as the two magic circles appeared under her and she fell through them. Symbol pressed the right Shift Lever once. [MAGIC TOUCHIC GO!] Then scanned her right glove. [BOMBARDMENT MAGIC PLEASE!] Blue magical energy started to build around both of the Chain Cannon’s barrels as Symbol took aim while hitting the right Shift Lever four times. [MAGIC TOUCHIC GO! VERY NICE!] Before swiping her right glove. [BOMBARDMENT TERRA MAGIC! THE BEST!] The blue magical energy surged in power. “Twin Cannons!” shouted Symbol as she fired both of the cannons. Out of which roared a pair of column sized beams that slammed into the Phantom and carried it through a wall, causing it to go up in an explosion.

Dante had been fighting just as hard as his sister. He punched the Arbiter Ring into the Arbiter Axe’s slot. [ONE!] The dice appeared and spun until it stopped on a one. [AXE STRIKE!] Dante pulled back the Arbiter Axe as energy gathered around the tip of it before swinging down, firing a construct of energy in the shape of a spinning axe head that smashed into one Lesser Blade Phantom and knocking it into a Blade Phantom that had taken cover behind it.

Then Dante pressed down on the Arbiter Axe’s trigger. [AXE STRIKE!] Red energy surged up the Arbiter Axe’s shaft and into its blade. “Flush!” shouted Dante as he swung the axe down. This fired a beam, the tip of which took the form of a spinning axe head that slammed into the two Phantom and caused them to explode.

Dante jumped into the air as he drew Ebony and Ivory from their holsters. He held down on their triggers. Two rings of red magical energy were pulled into the hand cannons, while a white ring of energy was pulled into Ivory and a black ring of energy was pulled into Ebony. [EBONY AND IVORY STRIKE!] Dante started to spin in the air making bullets hit the three Peryton Phantoms. “Inverted Rainstorm!” shouted Dante before flipping himself upside down as he continued to fire. “Rainstorm!” shouted Dante as sparks flew from the three Phantoms before they exploded.

Dante landed back on the ground as a Death Knight Phantom came running towards him. He slotted Ebony and Ivory back into their holsters and drew the Arbiter Axe while punching the Arbiter Ring into the bottom of its handle. [FOUR!] The holographic dice appeared and spun before stopping on a four. [AXE STRIKE!] Red energy gathered around the Arbiter Axe’s blade as Dante brought it down. The Death Knight Phantom raised its shield only for the Arbiter Axe to release three pulses of red energy that made the shield shatter on contact.

Then Dante continued his swing as he pressed the Arbiter Axe’s trigger. [AXE STRIKE!] Red energy surged up the Arbiter Axe’s shaft and into the blade as it made contact with the Death Knight Phantom. “Trinity Smash!” shouted Dante as the Arbiter Axe unleashed nine pulses of red energy that made cracks spark through the Death Knight Phantom’s body before it exploded.

A Lesser Blade Phantom jumped into the air towards Dante. He punched the Arbiter Ring into his Driver’s left slot. [GO! KICK STRIKE!] Red magical energy covered Dante’s right boot as he spun around. “Trinity Smash!” shouted Dante as his boot made contact and unleashed nine pulses of red energy that tore the Phantom to pieces.

Dante jumped back as he found himself surrounded by seven Lesser Blade Phantoms. If he were in his human form he would have smirked as he changed the Arbiter Ring for the Osiris Ring and punched it into the Driver’s left slot. [SET!] Dante turned his wrist back, then forwards making his Driver’s door close and open. [OPEN!] The osiris magic circle appeared from Dante’s Driver and moved back through him, transforming Dante into the Osiris Style. [O-S-I-R-I-S!] Dante dodged a slash from one Lesser Blade Phantom, then used the Osiris Scythe’s shaft to lock up several of their swords as he punched the Osiris Ring into the bottom of the scythe’s handle. [ONE!] Dante had to avoid another slash as the dice appeared and spun before stopping on a one. [SCYTHE STRIKE!] Dante started spinning the Osiris Scythe around, cutting through all seven of the Lesser Blade Phantoms and making sparks explode from their bodies.

Seeing that they were ready to be finished off, Dante pressed down on the Osiris Scythe’s trigger. [SCYTHE STRIKE!] The light blue wind covered the Osiris Scythe. “Karma!” shouted Dante as he spun in a circle, wind surging out from the Osiris Scythe and cutting through all seven of the Lesser Blade Phantoms, making them explode.

Or at least Dante thought.

“Argh!” shouted Dante as sparks explode from his chest plate as he was slashed by one of the Lesser Blade Phantoms that had survived by ducking behind two others and letting them take the damage. “Talk about comradeship!” shouted Dante as he punched the Osiris Ring into his Driver’s left slot. [KICK STRIKE GO!] The light blue wind covered his right boot as Dante took a step back. “Karma!” then he jumped forwards and lashed out with a spin kick that unleashed a blast of the light blue wind. This time it did cut the Lesser Blade Phantom in half and cause it to explode.

Then Dante saw a Blade Phantom running towards him and punched the Osiris Ring into the bottom of the Osiris Scythe. [SIX!] The dice appeared above the scythe and spun until it stopped on a six. [SCYTHE STRIKE!] Dante ran forwards and slashed the Phantom with the Osiris Scythe as he rammed it into the Phantom’s chest drawing sparks from the Blade Phantom.

Dante jumped back as another Lesser Blade Phantom appeared and slashed at him. He pressed down on the Osiris Scythe’s trigger. [SCYTHE STRIKE!] Light blue magical energy ran up the Osiris Scythe’s shaft and into the scythe’s blade as Dante ran forwards and rammed the Osiris Scythe into both the Lesser Blade Phantom and the Blade Phantom making both of them erupt into explosions.

Suddenly, Dante found himself surrounded by Blade Phantoms. “No you don’t!” he pressed the Osiris Ring into the slot at the base of the Osiris Scythe. [FOUR!] The dice appeared above the scythe and spun around for several seconds before stopping on a four. [SCYTHE STRIKE!] Dante knelt down as the light blue wind was pulled in and wrapped around him. He jumped up while spinning and the Blade Phantom’s where pulled up with him. Sparks flew from their bodies as they were cut into by the wind and slashed repeatedly by the Osiris Scythe until the wind stopped, they fell back to the ground in pain.

While still in the air Dante pressed down on the Osiris Scythe’s trigger. [SCYTHE STRIKE!] Light blue magic energy ran up the Osiris Scythe’s shaft and into the blade as Dante started to spin again. “Raze!” he shouted as the Osiris Scythe generated the light blue wind that pulled the Phantom’s back into the air. Dante slashed all of them to pieces with the Osiris Scythe causing them to explode.

Dante then replaced the Osiris Ring with the Aquila Ring and pressed it into his Driver’s left slot. [SET!] Dante turned his wrist back, then forwards, making his Driver’s gate close and open. [OPEN!] The aquila magic circle appeared from Dante’s Driver and moved back through him, transforming Dante into the Aquila Style. [A-Q-U-I-L-A!] He summoned the Aquila Stars and punched the Aquila Ring into the slot in the centre of them. [TWO!] The holographic dice appeared above the Aquila Stars and spun until it stopped on a two. [SHURIKEN STRIKE!] Dante threw the Aquila Stars, that multiplied and three pairs of them wrapped around three Lesser Blade Phantoms. The Phantoms were pulled back to Dante as he summoned another two copies of the Aquila Stars before pressing the Aquila Ring into their slot once more. [ONE!] The dice appeared and spun, losing a single dot. [SHURIKEN STRIKE!] Dante pulled back the Aquila Stars and threw them to the side, slashing sparks from the Lesser Blade Phantoms. 

Dante quickly pressed down on the Aquila Star’s triggers. [SHURIKEN STRIKE!] The light blue wind was pulled from the air and into the Aquila Stars as Dante threw them out to the side and cut sparks into the Phantoms. Then in a shower of sparks the shuriken's cut through the Phantoms and made them explode.

Suddenly, Dante jumped into the air, avoiding a lightning bolt from another Peryton Phantom. “Your gonna have to do better than that!” shouted Dante as he pulled out Ebony and Ivory before holding down on their triggers. Two rings of light blue energy were pulled into both of the guns. A single ring of white energy was pulled into Ivory while an equally black ring was yanked into Ebony. [EBONY AND IVORY STRIKE!] Dante let go of the triggers as he spun, bombarding the Peryton Phantom with enough rounds for it to explode.

“We need to make up for lost time!” shouted Symbol in panic.

“Agreed!” Dante looked around for several seconds. “This way!” he punched the Aquila Ring into the slot on the Aquila Stars. [FOUR!] The dice appeared and spun before stopping on a four. [SHURIKEN STRIKE!] Dante pressed the trigger of the Aquila Stars. [SHURIKEN STRIKE!] Light blue wind gathered around them as Dante threw the stars up and they carved through a vine blockaide.

“Nice one!” Symbol switched the Giga Ring for the Active Ring and hit the left Shift Lever. [MAGICAL TOUCH HENSHIN!] Then she scanned it across the Wizard Driver’s Hand Author. [ACTIVE PLEASE!] Symbol held her left glove out to the side, making the active magic circle appear and move through her. [LET’S GO!] This transformed Symbol into the Active Style as she slid the Boost and Defend Rings onto her right glove before pressing the right Shift Lever. [MAGIC TOUCHIE HENSHIN!] Symbol scanned her right glove before holding it out to the side. [BOOST DEFEND PLEASE!] The boost and defend magic circles appeared before moving through her, transforming Symbol into the Active Boost Defend Style. She hit the right Shift Lever once. [MAGIC TOUCHIE GO!] Then scanned her right glove once more. [BOOST MAGIC PLEASE!] Purple magical energy ran into the Boost Grieves as Symbol jumped into the air and landed on the ledge, before running through the opening.

Dante landed beside Symbol as a pair of Phantom shards burst from the ground.

“No! Not now!” shouted Dante. He drew Ebony and Ivory before holding down on their triggers. [EBONY AND IVORY STRIKE!] A pair of blue energy rings were pulled into each of the Hand Cannons before a white and black ring were pulled into Ivory and Ebony respectively. “Ricoshot!” shouted Dante as he fired a pair of bullets that spiralled around each other and smashed through the Phantom Shard.

Symbol transformed the Active Blade into the Active Rifle and pulled on its thumb to open its Hand Author. [COME ON A SHOOTING SHAKE HANDS!] Then Dante scanned the Active Ring. [ACTIVE! SHOOTING STRIKE!] Red lightning built up around the barrel of the Active Rifle as Symbol pulled the trigger. “Red Bolt!” shouted Symbol as a wide bolt of red lightning tore out of the Active Rifle and exploded against the Phantom Shard, causing it to explode.

Then the Phantoms arrived.

Symbol changed the Active Ring for the Burst Ring and pressed the left Shift Lever. [MAGICAL TOUCH HENSHIN!] Then she scanned her left glove across the Wizard Driver’s Hand Author. [BURST PLEASE!] She held her left glove out to the side with the palm facing backwards, making the burst magic circle appear behind her and move through Symbol, transforming her into the Burst Style. [CAST THE SPELL!] She saw a Ravager Phantom charging at her and pressed the left Shift Lever three times. [MAGICAL TOUCH GO!] Symbol scanned the Burst Ring again. [BURST! A RANK SPELL!] A wall of rock burst from the ground, blocking the attack.

Then Symbol pressed the left Shift Lever four more times. [MAGICAL TOUCH GO! VERY NICE!] She scanned the Burst Ring. [BURST! S RANK SPELL! THE BEST!] Purple magical energy covered the wall as the Ravager Phantom started to break through it. “Earth Wall Assault!” commanded Symbol as the wall started to fire bullets of rocks that were the size of human heads. They impacted the Ravager Phantom, making sparks fly from it and micro explosions go off around the Phantom before it exploded.

Symbol looked around and saw four Blade Phantoms running at her. She drew the Burst Wand and transformed it into the Burst Staff. She pulled on its thumb, opening its Hand Author. [COME ON A SPELL SHAKE HANDS] Then Symbol scanned her left glove. [BURST! SPELL STRIKE!] Purple magical energy leaked off the Burst Staff before shifting into four spears of purple magical energy. “Burst Spears!” shouted Symbol as they impaled the four Phantoms and caused them to explode.

Dante saw a pair of Lesser Blade Phantoms charging at him. He switched the Aquila Ring for the Nephilim Ring and punched it into his Driver’s left slot. [SET!] Dante turned his wrist back, then forwards making his Driver’s gate close and then spring back open. [OPEN!] The nephilim magic circle appeared from Dante’s Driver and moved back through him, transforming Dante into the Nephilim Style. [N-E-P-H-I-L-I-M!] Dante used the Rebellion Blade to deflect a swing from each of the Lesser Blade Phantoms and punched the Nephilim Ring into the slot at the base of its handle. [TWO!] The mouth opened to reveal a pair of light blue and blood red circles. [NEPHILIM SABER STRIKE!] Dante spun around several times, making sparks fly from the Lesser Blade Phantoms as the Rebellion Blade bit into them several times.

Then Dante pressed down on the Rebellion Blade’s trigger. [NEPHILIM SABER STRIKE!] Red and blue magical energy surged up the Rebellion Blade and covered the sharp parts. “Death Coil!” roared Dante as he started to spin around at rapid speeds. In the next five seconds the Lesser Blade Phantoms were cut into several thousand times making sparks fly from their bodies until they both exploded.

“They didn’t even put up a fight!” scoffed Dante as he punched the Nephilim Ring into the left slot of his Driver. [GO! KICK STRIKE!] Flame red and wind blue magical energy covered Dante’s right boot as he tensed. “Death coil!” he spun around and kicked the Lesser Blade Phantom that thought he couldn’t see it in the face making sparks explode off it before the Phantom exploded.

Symbol looked into the air as she avoided a pair of lightning bolts from a pair of Peryton Phantoms. She changed the Burst Ring for the Swift Ring and pressed the left Shift Lever. [MAGICAL TOUCH HENSHIN!] Symbol scanned her left glove across the Wizard Driver’s Hand Author. [SWIFT PLEASE!] She held her left glove into the air, making the swift magic circle appear. It blocked another pair of lightning bolts before lowering through Symbol, transforming her into the Swift Style. [DASH AWAY!] Symbol pressed the left Shift Lever once. [MAGICAL TOUCH GO!] She backflipped through the air, avoiding another two lightning bolts as she scanned her left glove again. [SWIFT! C RANK SPELL!] Symbol’s left glove was covered in yellow magical energy as she swiped it to the side and made five orbs of magical energy appear. They shot forwards towards the Peryton Phantoms. Only for both of the Phantoms to create a net of lightning that stopped the orbs from reaching them.

“Since when could they do that?!” shouted Symbol in shock. Suddenly, the net of lightning threw the orbs back at her. “Nuts!” she jumped into the air, but when the orbs slammed into the ground she was still sent flying by the explosions. Symbol tumbled through the air before landing back on her boots. “Let’s give this a go!” Symbol struck the left Shift Lever four times. [MAGICAL TOUCH GO! VERY NICE!] Then she scanned her left glove again. [SWIFT! S RANK SPELL! THE BEST!] Symbol swiped her left glove to the side, summoning five more orbs of yellow magical energy. “Swift Star!” shouted Symbol as the orbs shot forwards. The Peryton Phantoms summoned their net of lightning. Only for the orbs to transform into beams, piercing straight through the net and then through the Phantoms making both of them explode!

Dante punched the Arbiter Ring into his Driver’s left slot as a Hell Knight Phantom ran towards him. [SET!] Staying calm as the Hell Knight Phantom charged, Dante turned his wrist back, then forwards making his Driver’s door close and open. [OPEN!] The arbiter magic circle appeared from Dante’s Driver, knocking the Hell Knight Phantom back before it moved through Dante. [A-R-B-I-T-E-R!] Now in the Arbiter Style he slammed the Arbiter Axe down on the Hell Knight Phantom’s shield before using the shaft to block a sword swing, then he kicked the Hell Knight Phantom back. Dante punched the Arbiter Ring into the slot at the base of the Arbiter Axe’s shaft while using the blade to block another sword swing from the Phantom. [THREE!] The dice appeared above the Arbiter Axe and spun several times before stopping on a three as Dante slammed the Arbiter Axe down, forcing the Hell Knight Phantom to block with its shield. [AXE STRIKE!] Dante swung the Arbiter Axe around in an upwards swing, cracking the Phantom’s shield. He blocked the Hell Knight Phantom’s slash with the shaft and swung the Arbiter Axe across, cracking the Phantom’s shield again. The Hell Knight Phantom brought its sword around in an upwards swing that Dante let him, so he had an opening to bring the Arbiter Axed down in one last swing that shattered the Hell Knight Phantom’s shield.

“Finale!” shouted Dante as he pressed down on the Arbiter Axe’s trigger. [AXE STRIKE!] Red magical energy surged up the Arbiter Axe as Dante used the shaft to block another sword swing before kicking the Hell Knight Phantom back. “Judgment!” shouted Dante as the magical energy formed into a construct of the Arbiter Axe. Dante swung it up and while the Hell Knight Phantom was able to block the swing it was unable to stop to construct without its shield, sparks flew from the impact. As the Hell Knight Phantom staggered back, Dante closed the distance and swung the Arbiter Axe across, making sparks and micro explosions come from the Phantom as both the axe and the construct slammed into the Phantom. Dante ended the combo with a downwards swung that cut a pair of glowing red lines through the Hell Knight Phantom. Sparks flew from its body as micro explosions went off around it before the Hell Knight Phantom exploded.

Symbol added the Wing and Sniper Rings to her right glove before pressing the right Shift Lever as she avoided a bomb from a Valkyrie Phantom and then jumped to the side as she had to get away from an arrow that an Icarus Phantom had fired. [MAGIC TOUCHIE HENSHIN!] She scanned her right glove as she jumped over another bomb and ran away from the explosion range. [WING SNIPER PLEASE!] Symbol held her right glove into the air and the two magic circles appeared over her before falling through her. Now in the Swift Wing Sniper Style, Symbol took to the sky and spiralled around another arrow as she hit the right Shift Lever twice. [MAGIC TOUCHIE GO!] Symbol flew around a bomb as she scanned her right glove again. [WING MAGIC PLEASE!] Silver magical energy covered her Flight Wings as she slashed the Valkyrie Phantom with them twice making sparks come from each of the glowing silver cuts she had given it.

The Icarus Phantom turned and fired a crossbow bolt at Symbol. She spun around and pressed the right Shift Lever twice. [MAGIC TOUCHIE GO!] Symbol scanned her right glove across the Wizard Driver’s Hand Author. [SNIPER MAGIC PLEASE!] The Sniper Shooter appeared and she fired a high powered bullet that smashed through the bolt, through the Icarus Phantom and then through the Valkyrie Phantom that was behind it. Sparks came from the entrance and exit points of both Phantoms as they growled in pain from the wounds. 

Symbol saw an opening to finish them off as she struck the right Shift Lever four times. [MAGIC TOUCHIE GO! VERY NICE!] Then Symbol swiped her right glove again. [WING SNIPER MAGIC! THE BEST!] Blue magical energy was pulled from the air, into the Sniper Shooter. It ran up the length of the gun and gathered in an orb in front of the barrel. Symbol looked down the Sniper Shooters scope as a pair of cross hairs appeared and quickly aligned with each other before flashing blue. “Sniper Sun!” shouted Symbol as she pressed down on the trigger. The orb transformed into a thin beam of blue light that closed the distance in a heartbeat, smashed into both of the Phantom and piercing through their bodies. Both of them had sparks explode form their wounds as micro explosions went off around them until they exploded.

Symbol landed back on the ground. “ARGH!” only to shout in pain as she felt something slam into her backplate. Sparks flew from it as the thing ground into her back until Symbol was sent flying forwards. She crashed into a wall, smashing through a computer on the way. She weakly pushed herself up and snarled at the Rage Phantom that was prowling towards her.

“I will break you!” snarled out Symbol as she switched the rings on her right glove and hit the right Shift Lever. [MAGIC TOUCHIE HENSHIN!] Symbol scanned the Arrow and Blade Rings across the Wizard Driver’s Hand Author. [ARROW BLADE PLEASE!] She held her right glove up to the ceiling and the two magic circles appeared before falling through her. Symbol grabbed the Buzz Bow as it appeared and stepped to the side, avoiding the Rage Phantom as it went spinning past. The Phantom turned around as Symbol pressed the right Shift Lever two times. [MAGIC TOUCHIE GO!] The Rage Phantom set its claws on fire and lunged at Symbol as she scanned her right glove. [BLADE MAGIC PLEASE!] Symbol swung outwards with the Buzz Bow, firing six red buzz saws that slammed into the Rage Phantom and cut sparks into its body. 

The Rage Phantom fell back with a yelp before firing quills from its body. “No you don’t!” shouted Symbol as she pressed the right Shift Lever once. [MAGIC TOUCHIE GO!] Symbol swiped her right glove. [ARROW MAGIC PLEASE!] She pulled back on the Buzz Bow’s arrow before letting go. The arrow fired six blasts of green wind that shifted into the form of buzz saws. They cut through the air and into the storm of quills. What they didn’t hit, the wind pressure knocked off course. But sparks still came from Symbol’s body as about ten of the quills were able to hit her. 

“That hurt! Woah!” Symbol was cut off as the Rage Phantom lunged at her. She fell onto her back and was able to hold off the Phantom’s claws with the Buzz Bow, but was still forced to move her helmet away from its jaws. Symbol hit the left Shift Lever once. [MAGICAL TOUCH GO!] Then she scanned her left glove across the Wizard Driver’s Hand Author. [SWIFT! C RANK SPELL!] Five orbs of yellow magic appeared above the Rage Phantom and shot down, making sparks come from its back. The Phantom howled in rage, given Symbol the opening to knee it in the stomach and ram the Buzz Bow into its stomach, throwing the Phantom off.

Symbol saw that the Rage Phantom was stunned and knew this was her opening to finish it. She hit the right Shift Lever four times. [MAGIC TOUCHIE GO! VERY NICE!] Symbol scanned her right glove as the Rage Phantom snarled, setting its claws on fire. [ARROW BLADE MAGIC! THE BEST!] Symbol pulled back on the Buzz Bow’s shaft as green wind gathered around it. “Arrow Cutter!” shouted Symbol as the Rage Phantom lunged. She let go of the Buzz Bows arrow. It fired a six blasts of green wind that quickly shifted into six buzz saws made of wind that soared through the air. They lined up and the wind coming off them transformed, merging into a single giant arrow. The Rage Phantom’s eyes went wide as it was pierced through by the attack. Sparks and micro explosions came from the hole in its stomach before the Rage Phantom exploded.

Dante ducked as a Butcher Phantom appeared and charged at him. He jumped over a buzz saw and landed back on the ground. “I don’t have time for this!” he shouted as he pressed the Trigger Ring’s angel side into his Driver’s left slot. [TRIGGER!] Dante turned it back, then forwards, making his Driver’s door close and open again. [GO ANGEL!] The angel magic circle appeared from Dante’s Driver, blocking a vertical buzzsaw construct that the Butcher Phantom sent flying at him, [AN-AN-AN-ANGEL!] The magic circle moved back through Dante, transforming him into the Angel Trigger Style. 

Dante drew the Rebellion magnum, only to see that it had transformed, again. It was still a blockly blaster with a pair of large barrels but was now coloured bright blue with wind blue outlines. It still had a silver skull on the left side with a pair of silver bones coming from the back of it that formed a T with the handle. Coming from the bottom of the barrel was a wind blue scythe blade that was scaled down with light blue outlines. In the bottom of the handle was a red cylinder that looked like it could be pulled out and turned. On the back of it was a screen that displayed an image of the Osiris Scythe. This is the Rebellion Magnum Osiris Mode.

Dante quickly punched the Angel Trigger Ring into the back of the Rebellion Magnum. [ANGEL ONE!] A bright blue holographic one with wind blue outlines appeared next to the skull. [MAGNUM STRIKE!] Instead of firing, Dante held down on the trigger as he blurred forwards. [MAGNUM STRIKE!] Dante got within the Butcher Phantom’s guard and ten rings of light blue energy were pulled into the Rebellion Magnum. [ANGEL!] Dante let go of the trigger. “Karma!” he shouted as the Rebellion Magnum fired a construct of spinning light blue energy that sawed away at the Butcher Phantom’s weak spot. Sparks flew as the Phantom was carried backwards until it went up in an explosion. 

“I hate to say this, but my brother’s right,” muttered Symbol as she pressed the left Shift Lever. [TOUCH TO ADVANCE YOUR CLASS!] Symbol scanned her left glove across the Wizard Driver’s Hand Author. [ADVANCE PLEASE!] She held her left glove out in front of her and the advance magic circle appeared before moving back through Symbol as she faced the two Tyrant Phantoms. Symbol pressed the left Shift Lever four times. [TOUCH TO CAST THE NEXT LEVEL! VERY NICE!] Then she scanned her left glove as one of the Tyrant Phantom’s set itself on fire and charged. [ADVANCE S TIER SPELL! THE BEST!] Symbol was covered in blazing yellow magical energy as she met the Tyrant Phantom’s charge with her own charge. “Advance Run!” shouted Symbol as the two of them were about to collide. She ducked under a swing from the Tyrant Phantom and jumped, ramming her knee into its face. The force was enough to pick the Phantom up and throw it into the air. Cracks spread through its body before the Tyrant Phantom exploded.

Symbol was about to attack the last Phantom when it was suddenly cut to pieces! [MAGICAL TOUCH HENSHIN!] [ACTIVE PLEASE!] [LET’S GO!] “I had that!” she shouted at Dante as she transformed back into her Active Style to save strength.

[SET!] [OPEN!] [N-E-P-H-I-L-I-M!] “It wasn’t me!” protested Dante as he followed his sister’s example. 

“Then, what was it?” asked Symbol looking around the room.

“Knowing are luck, we’ll find out soon enough,” commented Dante as he ran through the door that had opened.

Symbol followed him, but then she stopped and glanced over her shoulder. She could still feel a presence in the room, even if she was unable to see it.

The two of them ran down some stairs as alarms went off. 

“Kate!” shouted Dante. “Are you here?!”

“Trash everything!” yelled a SWAT operative.

“Their in!” yelled a member of The Order.

“Move move!” shouted another member of the The Order.

“Get out! The place is overrun!” shouted Dante.

“They can’t hear you!” shouted Symbol.

“Run, get out of here!” shouted another member of The Order.

“Or maybe they can,” Symbol corrected herself.

“Damn it! Can anybody hear us?!” shouted Dante.

“Where is the girl!?” shouted a SWAT officer.

“I don’t know! Please!” begged a member of The Order.

The two Kamen Rider’s ran into another room and the presence that Symbol had sensed got a lot stronger.

Suddenly, the Phantom appeared. It looked like a human wearing a black samurai robe and a red mask holding a pair of swords. 

“I’m calling that the Drekavac Phantom,” muttered Symbol.

“There’s only one! This should be easy!” shouted Dante as he ran towards it. 

“Dante, wait!” shouted Symbol. But she was ignored.

Dante jumped into the air as he pressed the Nephilim Ring into the back of the Rebellion Blade. [ONE!] The mouth opened to show a single red and blue circle. [NEPHILIM SABER STRIKE!] Dante went shooting down and slammed down the Rebellion Blade in an overhead swing. Only for the Drekavac Phantom to block it with its crossed swords. Dante jumped back, but before he could do anything the Phantom closed the distance and slashed him across the chest plate with both of its sword. “ARGH!” shouted Dante as sparks flew from his chestplate.

“DANTE!” shouted Symbol. Unfortunately this pulled the Drekavac Phantom’s attention to her. It quickly closed the distance as she pressed the left Shift Lever twice. [MAGICAL TOUCH GO!] Symbol scanned her left glove across the Wizard Driver’s Hand Author. [ACTIVE! B RANK SPELL!] Red lightning covered her forearms as Symbol crossed them, blocking both of the swords, only to get a swift kick to the faceplate, breaking her guard and letting the Phantom slash her across the chest plate as well. “ARGH!” shouted Symbol as she was kicked in the chest plate and sent flying backwards.

With a snarl Dante pulled out Ebony and Ivory, opening fire on the Drekavac Phantom. It ran towards him slashing with its swords, blocking the bullets as it slashed at him once more. Dante was able to block the first few attacks with the Rebellion Blade but the Phantom quickly started to find openings in his guard, taking advantage of them with great ease. 

Seeing that the Phantom’s back was turned, Symbol switched the Active Ring for the Giga Ring and punched the left Shift Lever. [MAGICAL TOUCH HENSHIN!] Then she scanned her left glove. [GIGA PLEASE!] Symbol held her left glove down to the ground and the giga magic circle appeared under her boots before rising up through her. [BREAK THROUGH!] Now in the Giga Style, Symbol drew the Giga Axe and pulled on its thumb, opening its Hand Author. [COME ON A SMASH SHAKE HANDS!] Symbol scanned the Giga Ring across the Giga Axe’s Hand Author. [GIGA SMASH STRIKE!] Green magical energy covered the Giga Axe’s blade as Symbol ran forwards. “Giga Strike!” shouted brought the Giga Axe down, only for the Drekavac Phantom to kick Dante back and roll to the side, avoiding the swing. Symbol pulled the Giga Axe from the ground and swung at the Phantom only for it to dance back. “Stay! Still! You! Blasted! Monster!” Symbol punctuated each word with a swing, missing each time.

Suddenly, she overextended on a swing and the Drekavac Phantom blitzed forwards and slashed her across the chest plate several times, drawing sparks. “ARGH!” grunted Symbol as she staggered back. “It’s not possible for a Phantom that fast to be so strong!” she grunted in shock. That had been a lot of damage despite her being in her Giga Style, normally when a Phantom was fast it relied on quick attacks to whittle down its opponents health. But this Phantom was super fast and had a lot of strength as well. 

“We’re gonna have to speed up if we want to beat this thing!” Dante punched the Aquila Ring into his Driver’s left slot. [SET!] He turned his wrist back, then twisted it forwards, making his Driver’s gate close and open again. [OPEN!] The aquila magic circle appeared from Dante’s Driver and moved back through him, transforming Dante into the Aquila Style. [A-Q-U-I-L-A!]

“You sure that’s a good idea Dante?” asked Symbol. “If it could do this much damage to me in my Giga Style, then in such thin armour?” she trailed off, knowing Dante understood what she was getting at.

“Do you have any better idea’s?” asked Dante.

“Good point,” replied Symbol as she changed the Giga Ring for the Swift Ring and pressed the left Shift Lever. [MAGICAL TOUCH HENSHIN!] Symbol scanned her left glove across the Wizard Driver’s Hand Author. [SWIFT PLEASE!] She held the Swift Ring up into the air. [DASH AWAY!] The swift magic circle appeared above her and fell through Symbol, transforming her into the Swift Style.

Dante made the first move as he punched the Aquila Ring into the slot on the Aquila Stars. [THREE!] The holographic dice appeared and spun before stopping on a three. [SHURIKEN STRIKE!] Dante threw the Aquila Stars while spinning around, the Drekavac Phantom that had been running at him was forced to stop and cross its swords as the Aquila Stars had circled around Dante then multiplied at the last second. Resulting in Dante being surrounded by three circles of Aquila Stars, the Phantom was trapped between the second and third circles. 

Symbol pressed the left Shift Lever twice. [MAGICAL TOUCH GO!] Then she scanned her left glove. [SWIFT! B RANK SPELL!] Symbol was covered in yellow magical energy as she charged at the Drekavac Phantom. She pulled on the Swift Dagger’s thumb, opening its Hand Author. [COME ON A HIT SHAKE HANDS!] Symbol scanned her left glove across the Swift Dagger’s Hand Author. [SWIFT! STAB STRIKE!] Yellow energy blazed around the Swift Dagger’s blade. “Stab Barrage!” shouted Symbol as she closed in for the Phantom.

The Drekavac Phantom chose the lesser of two evils and jumped through the Aquila Stars, sparks flew from its body as it was cut into at least five times. It landed on the ground and charged at Symbol who did her best to block the swords with her energized Swift Dagger and find an opening. But its reach was much longer and it had two weapons instead of one. She was quickly being overpowered.

Dante punched the Aquila Ring into the Aquila Stars slot. [FOUR!] The dice appeared and spun until it stopped on a four. [SHURIKEN STRIKE!] Dante threw the Aquila Stars at the Drekavac Phantom. It was forced the disengage from Symbol and block the Aquila Stars with both of its swords.

But that left it open for Symbol to slash it across the waist. Just before her Swift Dagger lost the last of its power, drawing a few sparks. “All that for just a few sparks?!” shouted Symbol in outrage.

“Keep it up!” shouted Dante. “We’re starting to wear it down!” 

“In a million years!” shouted Symbol. 

Dante punched the Aquila Ring into the slot of the Aquila Stars. [FIVE!] The dice appeared and spun, stopping on a five. [SHURIKEN STRIKE!] Dante pressed down on the Aquila Star’s trigger. [SHURIKEN STRIKE!] Dante was covered in the light blue wind. “Caliber!” his visors flashed as he charged forwards, ramming the Aquila Stars into the Drekavac Phantom’s sword. “What are you smiling about?!” shouted Dante as he could feel the humour from the Phantom.

Suddenly, it lasted out, kicking Dante’s feet from under him. Dante punched the Aquila Ring into the Aquila Star’s slot. [SIX!] The dice appeared, already on a six. [SHURIKEN STRIKE!] Dante started to quickly spin around, generating a tornado of wind around himself. Only for the Drekavac Phantom to easily get out of the hold and dance back away from the tornado's grip. 

Still spinning, Dante pressed the Aquila Star’s trigger. [SHURIKEN STRIKE!] The wind got even stronger before Dante sent the tornado shooting at the Drekavac Phantom. “Tornado!” shouted Dante as it closed in on the Drekavac Phantom. Only for the Phantom to cut open a portal in space and jump through it. “What the hell?!” shouted Dante. The Drekavac Phantom appeared from a portal behind him and slashed Dante across the backplate several times. “ARGH!” shouted Dante as he was sent flying. 

“DANTE!” shouted Symbol as she added the Turbo and Zoomer Rings to her right glove, then pressed the right Shift Lever. [MAGIC TOUCHIE HENSHIN!] Symbol scanned her right glove across the Wizard Driver’s Hand Author. [TURBO ZOOMER PLEASE!] Then she held her right glove into the air as the two magic circle appeared and fell down through her. She hit the right Shift Lever twice more. [MAGIC TOUCHIE GO!] Then she swiped her right glove. [ZOOMER MAGIC PLEASE!] Symbol’s boots glowed with red magical energy as she shot forwards, aiming to punch the Drekavac Phantom in the face.

Only for the Phantom to slice open another portal and vanish into it. “Rats!” snarled out Symbol. Suddenly, she was kicked into the air and saw several portals open around her. “Oh no,” she groaned. The Drekavac Phantom came shooting out of one portal, slashed her and jumped into another. It kept doing this repeatedly and if Symbol thought that its blade’s had been painful in Giga Style, now they were agonizing. “ARGH!” shouted Symbol as she was engulfed by an explosion and fell to the ground with sparks coming from her cuts, micro explosions going off around her and red-black lightning crackling over her body as she tried desperately to hold onto her transformed state. 

“SUNSET!” screamed Dante as his sister fell to the ground. “Your not getting away with that!” 

‘Why did I have a flashback of a blonde haired girl when he said that?’ Symbol thought through the pain.

Dante switched the Aquila Ring for the Trigger Ring in its Angel Mode. Despite Kate’s warnings about using the two forms equally, he knew that he needed speed and fast attacks more than he needed power or high defence now. Dante punched the Trigger Rings into his Driver’s left slot. [TRIGGER!] Dante turned his wrist back, then forwards making his Driver’s gate close and open. [GO ANGEL!] The angel trigger magic circle appeared from Dante’s Driver and forced the Drekavac Phantom back, only for it to jump into a portal.  [AN-AN-AN-ANGEL!] The angel trigger magic circle moved back through Dante, transforming him into the Angel Trigger Style as he punched the Angel Trigger Ring into his Driver’s left slot again. [KICK STRIKE! GO!] The Drekavac Phantom appeared from a portal behind Dante was he was covered in glowing blue energy. [ANGEL!] Dante vanished in a blur and the Drekavac Phantom felt a massive amount of pain in its gut. It looked down and saw Dante’s boot buried there just as it was sent flying away.

Wanting to keep the Phantom at a distance, Dante pulled the pillar out of the Rebellion Magnum’s handle and turned it to the left. The image of the Osiris Scythe on the screen moved off to the right and was replaced by an image of the Aquila Stars that scrolled in from the left. Dante pressed the pillar back in and the scythe blade shifted into a shuriken. This is the Rebellion Magnum Aquila Mode. Dante punched the Angel Trigger Ring into the back of the Rebellion Magnum. [ANGEL ONE!] A light blue one appeared over the Magnum’s skull. [MAGNUM STRIKE!] Dante pulled the trigger, firing a pair of light blue bullets that the Drekavac Phantom tried to block only for another pair of bullets that were hidden behind them to slam into it and explode, sending it flying back. 

The Phantom jumped into another portal and appeared behind Dante before slashing him across the backplate and then jumping into another portal. It did this again and Dante swung at it only for the Drekavac Phantom to deflect the blow and slash him across the chestplate, then jump up and elbow him in the faceplate, sending Dante skidding back. He looked up just in time for the Phantom to slash him in the legs, making him drop to one knee. “My turn for a bit of defence!” shouted Dante as he punched the Angel Trigger Ring into the back of the Rebellion Magnum. [ANGEL FOUR!] A blue holographic four appeared next to the Rebellion Magnum’s skull. [MAGNUM STRIKE!] Dante fired a pair of light blue bullets that circled around him and cloned themselves into six circles. The Drekavac Phantom appeared from its portal and was to slow to stop, getting caught in the circle and sparks flew from its body. 

“Now’s my chance!” Dante punched the Angel Trigger Ring into the back of the Rebellion Magnum again. [ANGEL FIVE!] The four transformed into a five. [MAGNUM STRIKE!] Dante held down on the Rebellion Magnum’s trigger making ten rings of light blue energy get pulled into it. [MAGNUM STRIKE!] Then more rings of light blue energy were pulled into Dante’s left fist as he pointed the Rebellion Magnum at the Drekavac Phantom and let go of the trigger. [ANGEL!] A bullet exploded out of the Rebellion Magnum and slammed into the Phantom sending it flying back. “Caliber!” shouted Dante as he charged forwards and slammed his fist into the Phantom. There was a shockwave of light blue energy as the Drekavac Phantom was sent shooting back and slammed into a computer monitor, destroying it.

Dante approached the Phantom, about to finish it off. [SET!] [OPEN!] [N-E-P-H-I-L-I-M!] All of a sudden he transformed back into the Nephilim Style. “What?!” then he understood what had happened. “Oh no! I’m out of mana!” he ran at the Drekavac Phantom, hoping to finish it off before it could recover.

He was too late.

Dante was kicked into the air and surrounded by portals the Phantom repeated its earlier move on him.

“DANTE!” shouted Symbol as her brother fell to the ground. ‘This is bad! I’m still to weak to fight this thing and Dante won’t be in the best of shapes once that move is finished!’ [MAGICAL TOUCH HENSHIN!] [BURST PLEASE!] [CAST THE SPELL!] Suddenly, she was in the Burst Style! “What on-?!” her right index and ring fingers started to glow as a pair of new rings appeared. The ring on her index finger was purple with a brown gem in the centre of it that had sand grain engraved onto it. The other ring was purple with a silver gem that had glass engraved onto it. These are the Sand and Glass Rings.

“Let’s hope this works,” Symbol struck the right Shift Lever once. [MAGIC TOUCHIE HENSHIN!] This turned the Wizard Driver’s Hand Author to the right as she scanned her right glove across it. [SAND GLASS PLEASE!] Symbol held her right glove out to the side with the palm facing backwards making the two new magic circles appear behind her. They were identical to all of the other burst substyle magic circles. The Sand magic circle was brown with the logo of sand in the centre of it while the glass magic circle was crystal shaded with a glass logo in the centre of it. The two of them passed through Symbol, transforming her into her new Burst substyle.

Symbol’s shoulder pauldrons turned into crystal as did her forearm armour, upper leg armour and shin armour. Her elbow armour, knee armour, the armour on her boots and the armour on the back of her hands turned sand red. Finally the diamond in the centre of her chestplate turned into a red sand and crystal glass logo. This is Kamen Rider Symbol Burst Sand Glass Style. 

Symbol hit the right Shift Lever once. [MAGIC TOUCHIE GO!] The Drekavac Phantom jumped into a portal as she scanned her right glove across the Wizard Driver’s Hand Author. [SAND MAGIC PLEASE!] The Phantom jumped out of the portal. Right into a sand storm. Sparks flew from its body as it was attacked repeatedly by the sand.

The Drekavac Phantom roared as it jumped into another portal. Symbol hit the right Shift Lever twice more. [MAGIC TOUCHIE GO!] Then she scanned her right glove across the Wizard Driver’s Hand Author. [GLASS MAGIC PLEASE!] Before she punched the ground. The Drekavac Phantom came out of its portal and charged across the ground towards Symbol. Only to jump in the air, howling in pain as it stepped on the glass spikes that had burst from the ground. “And that’s why our real forms have boots,” commented Symbol as she watched this amusing sight.

The Drekavac Phantom snarled as it lunged at Symbol with both of its swords. But she pressed the right Shift Lever once more. [MAGIC TOUCHIE GO!] Then she scanned her right glove. [SAND MAGIC PLEASE!] A storm of sand blasted out of her body that swept the Drekavac Phantom away forcing it to use another portal to get away. 

“Time for me to end this! The Finale!” shouted Symbol as she pressed the right Shift Lever four times. [MAGIC TOUCHIE GO! VERY NICE!] Symbol scanned her right glove across the Wizard Driver’s Hand Author. [SAND GLASS MAGIC! THE BEST!] Silver magical energy covered the glass spikes in the ground as the rose up and aimed themselves at the Drekavac Phantom. “Glass Spikes!” shouted Symbol as they shot forwards and pierced the Drekavac Phantom. It did its best to block with its swords but there were just to many spikes! It was pierced several times over and then engulfed by an explosions.

Several seconds later the Drekavac Phantom was reveal to be still alive. “Oh come on!” shouted Symbol. “After all that?!” suddenly, the Phantom sliced open a portal and vanished. 

“Did it just, run away?” asked Dante in shock.

“I can’t feel its presence anymore, so yeah?” it came out as more of a question.

“That is so lame!” shouted Dante.

“Let’s not look a gift horse in the mouth,” requested Symbol.

They ran through a door that was now clear of barriers and found Kate hiding in the real world. 

“Kate, KATE!” shouted Dante getting her attention.

She looked openly relieved to see them. “Dante! Sunset! I don’t know what to do!” she panicked.

“Where’s Vergil?” demanded Symbol.

“I don’t know!” Kate thought for a second. “He’s probably in the server room. The octagon. He might be trapped in the Slip Dimension.”

“That would explain why most of these SWAT officers are still alive,” muttered Symbol.

“How do we get to him?” asked Dante.

“I don’t know! I’m stuck here!” shouted Kate. 

“Is there something we can do from the Slip Dimension to break you out?!” demanded Symbol.

Kate looked unsure.

“Think!” snapped out Dante.

“There may be a way,” replied Kate after a few moments. “I’ll guide the two of you!” she ran off with the two Kamen Riders following her.

“Just like old times,” muttered Symbol.
> S1E13 Under Seige
> --------------------------------------------------------------------------

Two members of SWAT ran up to a door. One of them placed a charge against it and started to set it up while the other watched their back with a rifle.


In the room that the SWAT personal were trying to get into.


“I think there’s an old tunnel that runs through here. Maybe we can get out that way,” explained Kate as she ran up to a wall.

“You think?” asked Dante.

“That’s not very encouraging,” replied Symbol.

“It’s better than being trapped,” retorted Kate as she started to spray a circle onto the wall with red spray paint.

*BOOM!*

The whole room shook as a loud explosion came from the door.

“We need another charge!” shouted one of the SWAT personal.

“They’re breaking in!” shouted Dante.

“We noticed!” replied Symbol.

“I’ve got an idea!” panted Kate.

“We’re stuck in the Slip Dimension! We can’t stop them from here!” shouted Dante in frustration.

“Yes you can,” replied Kate.

“HOW?!” shouted Symbol.

“I spray, you bring the roof down,” replied Kate as she sprayed a red circle onto one of the two pillars that held the ceiling up by the door. “There, now pull it!” she ordered Dante.

Dante switched the Nephilim Ring for the Arbiter Ring and punched it into his Driver’s left slot. [SET!] He turned his wrist back, then forwards, making his Driver’s gate close and open. [OPEN!] The arbiter magic circle appeared from Dante’s Driver and backed through him, transforming Dante into the Arbiter Style. [A-R-B-I-T-E-R!] Dante drew the Arbiter Axe and turned its handle. [GRAPPLE MODE!] It transformed into the Demon Pull that Dante used on the square, pulling that pillar to pieces.

But the roof held.

“Do it again!” shouted Symbol as she added the Ice and Bind magic rings to her right glove before pressing the right Shift Lever. [MAGIC TOUCHIE HENSHIN!] Symbol scanned her right glove across the Wizard Driver’s Hand Author as Kate started spraying. [ICE BIND PLEASE!] Symbol held her right glove out to the side as the two magic circles appeared, they passed through her, transforming Symbol into the Active Ice Bind Style. She pressed the right Shift lever twice more. [MAGIC TOUCHIE GO!] Then she scanned her right glove. [BIND MAGIC PLEASE!] Orange magical energy started to build up around the Grapple Gauntlet.

“Quickly,” shouted a member of SWAT. “The girl’s in there!” 

“Ok,” shouted Kate as she finished the circle. “The same again! Hurry!” 

Symbol fired a chain from the Grapple Gauntlet and pulled the pillar apart. 

Just as SWAT got the door open.

The roof came down, blocking their way in.

“You ok?” asked Dante.

“Yeah,” panted Kate. “Come on!” she ran over to the wall and finished the circle. “Lets go!” 

Dante hooked the Demon Pull but was unable to break through the wall. “Its to hard!” he shouted.

“I’ll give you a hand!” Symbol hit the right Shift Lever once as she ran up to the wall. [MAGIC TOUCHIE GO!] Symbol scanned her right glove across the Wizard Driver’s Hand Author as icy white magic gathered around her right glove. [ICE MAGIC PLEASE!] Symbol punched the wall, making it flash freeze over.

Dante was easily able to shatter it with a single, hard yank of the Demon Pull after that.

“Do you know where this goes?” asked Dante as they ran down a slight slope.

“I know this place like the back of my hand,” replied Kate.

“The back of your hand is covered in tattoos. You likely haven’t seen it in years,” commented Symbol.

“Poor choice of words,” winced Kate as she sprayed another circle.

Dante pulled the wall that was blocking their path down with the Demon Pull.

“Come on,” shouted Kate. 

They took a right turn and ran up two flights of stairs.

Kate pressed her eye to a terminal and typed in a code, causing a pair of blast doors to open.

They were about to take a left turn when the wall ahead was blasted open by SWAT.

“Hide!” shouted Dante.

“Quick!” ordered Symbol

Kate ran and crawled into a hole in the wall.

“Stay there!” ordered Dante.

“I don’t think he saw you,” comforted Symbol.

The SWAT members ran towards Kate’s hiding place.

All three hoped they’d continue past without noticing Kate.

Their hope was in vain.

“Hey! Wait, I think I saw something!” one of the SWAT officers moved towards Kate’s hiding hole.

“Shit! Kate, stay very still!” ordered Dante.

Symbol’s breath hitched.

Kate managed to move back. 

Just as the SWAT officer was about to see Kate, his fellow member of SWAT spoke up. “Leave it! The girl’s up ahead! We need to move!” 

The two SWAT officers ran off. 

“Their gone,” shouted Dante.

“Let’s go!” ordered Symbol.

Kate got out of her hole and ran up the stairs.

“You ok Kate?” asked Dante as they followed.

“Of course she isn’t!” grumbled Symbol.

“Yeah. I’m ok,” replied Kate.

“Lair,” muttered Symbol.

They ran up a second flight of stairs, took a right turn, ran through a blown open blast door and up another flight of stairs. 

Kate pressed her eye to another screen and typed into a touchpad, opening a door another blast door. 

They took a right, then a left turn before running up another flight of stairs.

Around the corner was three SWAT personale with a pair of members of The Order on their knees with their hands on their head.

“Hands on your head! FACE DOWN!” shouted one of the SWAT officers before he shot a member of The Order.

“Kate! Get out of fight! Now!” shouted Dante.

Kate ran across the hall and into a computer room.

The remaining Order member panicked and ran.

“He’s running! Get him!” shouted one of the three SWAT members.

“Ah no!” shouted The Order member.

*BANG!*

“Argh!” he dropped to the ground as a bullet hit him in the back.

*BANG!*

A second shot stopped him from moving. 

“Quick, get in that room and hide!” shouted Symbol as she saw that Kate had stopped, staring at the scene in horror.

“I told you not to run,” laughed the SWAT member as he shot the corpse again, just for fun.

“Dammit!” shouted Dante.

“He’s coming in!” warned Symbol as the SWAT member approached the room that Kate was in.

Kate got up and started to spray a circle on a computer bank.

“What are you doing?!” shouted Dante. “Stay hidden!”

Kate did not answer as she finished up the circle.

Just as the SWAT member came into the room. “Hey you! Hands on your head!” he yelled. “I’ve got the girl!” he started to approach Kate as she backed away, slowly so that he didn’t shoot.

“And I’ve got you!” snarled Dante as the SWAT member moved in front of the computer bank. He hooked the Demon Pull into the computer bank and pulled it over onto the SWAT member, knocking him out cold.

“Good work,” commented Symbol. “But they probably heard that, we should go!” 

“Come on, it’s this way!” shouted Kate as she ran through them. “Why did they have to kill everyone?” she asked as she ran past several dead bodies.

“We terrorists, remember?” Dante reminded Kate.

“Those were my friends!” whimpered Kate. “I feel sick.”

“Your not the only one,” replied Symbol.

“They’ll pay for this,” Dante promised his sister and friend. “But right now we need to find Vergil and get the hell out of here!” 

Kate ran up to another blast door, typed in a code and pressed her eye to the screen. “Through here,” she ordered.

They ran down a flight of stairs, took a left turn, ran down another flight of stairs, took a right turn and then ran down a third flight of stairs. They came to another blast door.

Kate typed a code into it and pressed her eye to the scanner making it open, revealing an office. 

They ran through the office and into an octagon shaped room.

Vergil as at the other end, behind some graffiti, in the Slip Dimension and a Butcher Phantom was trying to saw through the barrier to get to him.

“Dante, Sunset! Vergil’s trapped in the Slip Dimension! He’s in trouble!” shouted Kate in worry.

“Thank you captain obvious!” snarked Symbol as they ran forwards towards Vergil and the Phantom. 

“Hey you!” shouted Dante.

The Butcher Phantom turned to them.

Vergil noticed them. “Dante? Sunset?! Are you crazy?!” he shouted. “What are you doing here?!” 

“Busting you out of here bro!” shouted Dante in reply.

The Butcher Phantom pulled back its saws and fired five buzzsaw constructs at Dante and Symbol. “Get behind me!” shouted Symbol as she switched the Ice and Bind Rings for the Boost and Defend Rings before hitting the right Shift Lever. [MAGIC TOUCHIE HENSHIN!] The buzzsaws constructs were getting closer as Symbol scanned her right glove across the Wizard Driver’s Hand Author. [BOOST DEFEND PLEASE!] Symbol held her right glove out to the side, making the two magic circles unfolded and pass through her, knocking the three buzzsaws constructs that would have hit her off course.

“Nice one sis!” shouted Dante has he jumped over Symbol, turning the Demon Pull’s handle as he did so. [AXE MODE!] It transformed back into the Arbiter Axe as Dante punched the Arbiter Ring into the slot at the base of its handle. [ONE!] The dice appeared and spun before stopping on a one. [AXE STRIKE!] Dante swung the Arbiter Axe down, firing a construct of a spinning axe blade that slammed into the Butcher Phantom’s gut orb, making sparks fly from it as the sound of shattering glass went off. The Butcher Phantom staggered back in pain.

The Butcher Phantom pulled back its buzzsaws and swung one of them upwards, firing a large vertical buzzsaw construct at the siblings. “No you don’t!” Symbol hit the right Shift Lever twice. [MAGIC TOUCHIE GO!] Then scanned her right glove across the Wizard Driver’s Hand Author. [DEFEND MAGIC PLEASE!] Grey magical energy covered her Defend Shield as she held it up. The construct slammed into the shield and Symbol skidded back several paces with sparks coming from the Defend Shield until the construct lost its momentum causing it to break apart.

While Symbol had been doing this, Dante had closed in on the Butcher Phantom and punched the Arbiter Ring into the slot at the base of the Arbiter Axe’s handle. [THREE!] The dice warped in and spun, stopping on a three. [AXE STRIKE!] Dante swung the Arbiter Axe around in an upwards swing, then he followed up with an across swing. Both of them hit the Butcher Phantom’s gut orb and made sparks fly from it but before Dante could end the combo with another swing, he was slashed by one of the Butcher Phantom’s buzzsaws. “ARGH!” sparks flew from his armour as he was sent flying and crashed into a wall in a painful impact. Dante looked up, dazed as the Butcher Phantom approached him menacingly.

Symbol saw this and drew the Active Rifle, then she pulled on its thumb, opening its Hand Author. [COME ON A SLASH SHAKE HANDS!] Symbol scanned her left glove across it. [ACTIVE! SLASH STRIKE!] Red lightning gathered as an orb in front of the Active Rifle as Symbol braced it against her shoulder guard. “Red Bolt!” five bolts of red lightning shot from the Active Rifle. They raced around and slammed into the Butcher Phantom’s back. Doing no damage but pulling its attention away from Dante and towards Symbol so that her brother could recover.

The Butcher Phantom turned towards Symbol as she hit the right Shift Lever three times. [MAGIC TOUCHIE GO!] Then she scanned her right glove across the Wizard Driver’s Hand Author. [BOOST DEFEND MAGIC PLEASE!] Purple magical energy covered her left boot before grey magical energy formed into a construct of the Defend Shield around her leg. Symbol jumped into the air and came down with a flying kick towards the Butcher Phantom. Which thrust its saws up to meet her charge. There was a flash sparks, purple-grey lightning and a loud explosion.

When Dante could open his visors again, he was met with the sight of Symbol being sent flying away. “Sunset!” shouted Dante. With a snarl he ran forwards, punching the Arbiter Ring into the slot at the bottom of the Arbiter Axe’s handle. [ONE!] The holographic dice appeared from thin air and spun, before stopping when it displayed a one. [AXE STRIKE!] Dante hit the Arbiter Ring into his Driver’s left slot. [GO! KICK STRIKE!] Dante’s left boot was covered in red energy as he spun around and kicked out. The energy formed into a construct of the Arbiter Axe’s head. “Flush!” it spun through the air and slammed into the Butcher Phantom’s gut orb, making sparks fly from the impact as the Butcher Phantom staggered backwards.

Seeking to keep up the pressure, Dante pressed down on the Arbiter Axe’s trigger. [AXE STRIKE!] Red magical energy surged up the Arbiter Axe’s handle and into its blade as Dante swung it down. “Flush!” he roared as the energy was fired off in the form of a beam. The head of which looked like a spinning axe head. It slammed into the Butcher Phantom’s chest orb and made sparks fly from it as the construct ground into the Butcher Phantom painfully.

Symbol had recovered by this time and switched the Active Ring for the Burst Ring before pressing down on the left Shift Lever. [MAGICAL TOUCH HENSHIN!] Then she scanned her left glove across the Wizard Driver’s Hand Author. [BURST PLEASE!] Symbol held her left glove out to the side with the palm facing backwards. The burst magic circle appeared behind Symbol and moved through her. [CAST THE SPELL!] This transformed her into the Burst Style. Symbol hit the left Shift Lever once. [MAGICAL TOUCH GO!] Then she swiped her left glove again. [BURST! C RANK SPELL!] Four sparks appeared in the air before bursting into balls of flame that shot forwards and exploded against the Butcher Phantom’s gut orb drawing sparks from the burning damage. 

Dante took his opening as he punched the Arbiter Ring into the slot at the bottom of the Arbiter Axe again. [FOUR!] The red holographic dice appeared and spun until it stopped on a four. [AXE STRIKE!] Red energy was pulled from the air, into the Arbiter Axe’s blade as Dante swung it down. On contact with the Butcher Phantom’s gut orb it released three pulses of red magical energy that sent the Phantom staggering backwards with micro explosions going off around it. 

“Now’s my chance!” shouted Dante as he punched the Arbiter Ring into his Driver’s left slot. [GO! KICK STRIKE!] Red magical energy was pulled into Dante’s right boot as he lashed out with a side kick. “Trinity Smash!” bellowed Dante as his boot made contact making sparks explode from the Butcher Phantom’s gut orb. The Butcher Phantom followed the sparks example as it exploded.

A Frost Knight Phantom and a Rage Phantom burst from the ground.

“I’ll take care of the Rage Phantom!” shouted Symbol. “The Frost Knight Phantom is yours!”

“On it!” replied Dante.

Symbol added the Dust and Mirror Rings to her right glove before pressing the right Shift Lever. [MAGIC TOUCHIE HENSHIN!] Then she scanned her right glove across the Wizard Driver’s Hand Author. [DUST MIRROR PLEASE!] Symbol held her right glove out to the side with her palm facing backwards, the two magic circles appeared behind her and moved through her. The Rage phantom curled into a ball and spun at Symbol as she struck the right Shift Lever twice. [MAGIC TOUCHIE GO!] Symbol swiped her right glove. [MIRROR MAGIC PLEASE!] A mirror wall appeared in front of the Rage Phantom, only for it to smash straight through it. It slammed into Symbol and ground sparks from her body before kicking her in the gut with both of its rear legs and sending her flying back.

Symbol landed on the ground and skidded back as she changed the Burst Ring for the Giga Ring. “Looks like I’ll be needing a bit more power!” shouted Symbol as she pressed the left Shift Lever. [MAGICAL TOUCH HENSHIN!] Symbol scanned her left glove across the Wizard Driver’s Hand Author. [GIGA PLEASE!] Then she held the Giga Ring down to the ground, making the giga magic circle appear under her boots and rise up through her. [BREAK THROUGH!] Now in the Giga Style Symbol ran towards the Rage Phantom as it set its claws on fire and lunged at her. Symbol pressed the left Shift Lever three times. [MAGICAL TOUCH SPELL!] Symbol scanned her left glove just as the Rage phantom lashed out at her. [GIGA A RANK SPELL!] Right before the Rage Phantom’s claw made contact, Symbol was covered in a layer of green magical energy that stopped the claw from making contact.

The Rage Phantom gave a howl of anger as it slashed with its other claw, this one being just as ineffective as the last. Symbol struck the left Shift Lever once more. [MAGICAL TOUCH SPELL!] Symbol scanned her left glove. [GIGA C RANK SPELL!] Symbol’s right fist glowed with green magical energy as she lashed out, punching the Phantom in the stomach. Sparks exploded from the force of the blow as the Rage Phantom was sent shooting backwards, spiralling through the air.

“I’m not letting you get close again!” growled Symbol as she added the Bombardment and Terra Rings to her right glove before pressing the right Shift Lever. [MAGIC TOUCHIE HENSHIN!] Symbol scanned her right glove. [BOMBARDMENT TERRA PLEASE!] She held the two rings down to the ground and the two magic circles appeared, rising up through her, deflecting a barrage of quills. Symbol saw the Rage Phantom charging and hit the right Shift Lever twice. [MAGIC TOUCHIC GO!] She swiped her right glove. [TERRA MAGIC PLEASE!] The Chain Cannons fired a burst of shotgun shells that made sparks explode from the Phantom, stopping its charge.

“Finale!” shouted Symbol as she hit the right Shift Lever four times. [MAGIC TOUCHIC GO! VERY NICE!] Symbol scanned her right glove. [BOMBARDMENT TERRA MAGIC! THE BEST!] A large rock was pulled from the ground. “Terra Cannon!” shouted Symbol as the rock was shot forwards and slammed into the Rage Phantom, carrying it back into a wall and crushing it, causing the Rage Phantom to explode. 

Dante knew full well that anything he did in Arbiter Style would be stopped cold by the Frost Knight Phantom’s shield. So he switched the Arbiter Ring for the Aquila Ring and punched it into his Driver’s left slot. [SET!] Dante turned his wrist back, then forwards, making his Driver’s door close and open. [OPEN!] The aquila magic circle appeared from Dante’s Driver and moved back through him. [A-Q-U-I-L-A!] Transforming Dante into the aquila style. He dodged to the side, avoiding a wave of ice as he punched the Aquila Ring into the Aquila Star’s slot. [FOUR!] The dice appeared and spun until it stopped on a four. [SHURIKEN STRIKE!] The Frost Knight Phantom ran at Dante, only for him to throw the Aquila Stars forwards. They circled around the Frost Knight Phantom rapidly as they cut into it making sparks fly from its body.

Dante then materialised a second pair of Aquila Stars before punching the Aquila Ring into their slot. [TWO!] The dice appeared, spun and lost two numbers. [SHURIKEN STRIKE!] Dante pulled them back and threw them forwards, they circled around the Frost Knight Phantom before moving back towards Dante, pulling the Phantom with them.

Dante made a third pair of Aquila Stars appear in his gloves, he punched the Aquila Ring into their slot again. [FIVE!] The dice appeared and spun until it stopped on a five. [SHURIKEN STRIKE!] Dante was covered in light blue wind and charged forwards, meeting the Frost Knight Phantom with his own charge. He slashed into the Phantom multiple times with the Aquila Stars as he pressed down on their triggers. [SHURIKEN STRIKE!] The Aquila Stars in Dante’s gloves were covered in light blue wind, multiplying the damage that they were doing to the Phantom several times over. “Caliber!” shouted Dante as he slashed into the Frost Knight Phantom several times, sending it flying backwards with an explosion.

Dante quickly punched the Aquila Ring into the slot on the Aquila Stars again. [TWO!] This time the dice appeared and stopped spinning on a two. [SHURIKEN STRIKE!] Dante threw the Aquila Stars forwards, they circled around the Frost Knight Phantom and moved back towards Dante, pulling the Frost Knight Phantom with them.

Dante made another pair of Aquila Stars appear in his gloves and punched the Aquila Ring into their slot. [SIX!] The dice appeared and quickly spun, stopping on a six. [SHURIKEN STRIKE!] Before he did anything else, Dante pressed down on the Aquila Star’s trigger. [SHURIKEN STRIKE!] The light blue wind gathered around the Aquila Stars as Dante pulled them back and threw them forwards, sending them shooting forwards as the light blue wind formed into a tornado that picked up the Frost Knight Phantom. Cracks spread throughout its body as the light blue wind cut away at it until the Phantom went up in an explosion. 

Then another Butcher Phantom burst from the ground.

“Oh come on!!” shouted Symbol in anger as the Butcher Phantom crossed its arms and flung them forwards, firing five buzzsaw constructs at Symbol. She hit the right Shift Lever once. [MAGIC TOUCHIC GO!] Symbol took aim with the Chain Cannons as she scanned her right glove across the Wizard Driver’s Hand Author. [BOMBARDMENT MAGIC PLEASE!] Out of them roared a pair of blue magical orbs that slammed into two of the constructs and exploded violently, knocking the rest of them off course. 

“Cover me!” shouted Dante as he changed the Aquila Ring for the Eryx Ring and punched it into his Driver’s left slot. [SET!] Dante turned his wrist back, then forwards making his Driver’s door close and open. [OPEN!] The eryx magic circle appeared in front of Dante’s Driver and he ran through it, emerging in the Eryx Style. [E-R-Y-X!] Dante ran forwards as he punched the Eryx Ring into the back of the right Eryx Gauntlet. [ONE!] The dice appeared and spun until it stopped on a one. [FIST STRIKE!] Dante ran forwards as both of the Eryx Gauntlets were lit on fire and punched the Butcher Phantom’s gut orb three times. He was going to punch it a fourth time but had to jump back as the Phantom swung at him.

Dante was forced to backpedal as the Butcher Phantom swung at him several times. Dante quickly punched the Eryx Ring into the slot on the back of the right Eryx Gauntlet. [TWO!] The dice appeared and spun before quickly stopping on a two. [FIST STRIKE!] Dante pulled his left fist back and smashed it into the ground, making a tri pointed wall of red energy burst from the ground, stopping the Butcher Phantom’s buzzsaws. But the wall was quickly starting to crack. “Sunset! A LITTLE HELP WOULD BE NICE!” shouted Dante to his sister.

“On it!” shouted Symbol as she slammed her glove down on the right Shift Lever twice. [MAGIC TOUCHIC GO!] She scanned her right glove across the Wizard Driver’s Hand Author. [TERRA MAGIC PLEASE!] The Chain Cannons fired a pair of shotgun shells, which hit Dante’s backplate instead of the Butcher Phantom’s gut orb as he had been standing directly in front of it. 

“Sunset! YOU IDIOT!” bellowed Dante. “YOU HIT ME! NOT THE PHANTOM!” roared Dante.

“Sorry! I didn’t think that one through!” Symbol weakly defended herself.

“CLEARLY!” bellowed Dante.

Symbol changed the Bombardment and Terra Rings for the Hammer and Quake Rings, then she pressed the right Shift Lever. [MAGIC TOUCHIE HENSHIN!] Symbol scanned her right glove. [HAMMER QUAKE PLEASE!] The two magic circles appeared under her boots as she held the two rings down to the ground. The circles rose up through Symbol, transforming her into the Giga Hammer Quake Style. Symbol grabbed the Piston Hammer as it appeared in the air and pressed the right Shift Lever twice. [MAGIC TOUCHIC GO!] Symbol spun the Piston Hammer twice as orange magical energy gathered around it. [QUAKE MAGIC PLEASE!] She slammed the Piston Hammer onto the ground, making a line of orange energy circle around Dante and explode under the Butcher Phantom’s boots, making it stagger, off balance. 

“Now that was helping!” Dante sort of thanked as he punched the Eryx Ring into the slot on the back of the right Eryx Gauntlet again. [SIX!] The red holographic dice appeared and spun several times until it stopped on a six. [FIST STRIKE!] Dante pulled back the right Eryx Gauntlet and punched it forwards. There was a shock wave of red magical energy as it made contact with the Butcher Phantom, sending it flying back with sparks coming from its body.

Symbol ran up to Dante. “Finale?” she asked him.

“Let’s finish this!” shouted Dante.

Symbol drew the Giga Spear and pulled on its thumb, opening its Hand Author. [COME ON A STAB SHAKE HANDS!] Then Symbol scanned the Giga Ring across it. [GIGA! STAB STRIKE!] Green magical energy covered the Giga Spear, raging like a fire, making it look like the Giga Spear was covered in green flames.

Dante pressed down on the trigger inside the left Eryx Gauntlet. [FIST STRIKE!] Red flames and red magical energy covered the right Eryx Gauntlet as Dante pulled it back. 

“Flaming!” shouted Symbol as she threw the Giga Spear forwards.

“Javelin!” roared Dante as he punched the right Eryx Gauntlet into the back of the Giga Spear.

Red and green magical energy mixed as the Giga Spear turned into a bolt of red and green energy that blasted a hole through the Butcher Phantom’s gut orb, making the whole thing go flying back before it exploded.

Vergil walked up to his siblings. “Thank you Dante, Sunset,” then he saw Kate. “Kate! Your still alive. 

“Sorry to interrupt the reunion,” began Symbol.

“But is there a way out of here?!” demanded Dante.

“Yes. There’s an emergency gate. I’ll take you there,” explained Vergil.

“Let’s go,” shouted Dante.

“No, not yet!” exclaimed Vergil.

“What?” demanded Dante not quite believe what his brother had just said.

“There are terabytes of sensitive data here. We cannot let them get their hands on it. It would reveal the locations of the other Order buildings. It would tell Wiseman who our undercover agents were and where we get our monies from,” explained Vergil to his siblings.

“Wait, there’s more than one building in The Order?” asked Symbol.

“Sunset, Wiseman rules the whole planet, you can’t fight someone like that with just one building full of people!” explained Vergil.

“What does it matter?” demanded Dante.

“They’ll know everything about our plans. Everything that I, Kate and the rest of The Order have worked for will be for nothing!” explained Vergil. Vergil turned to Kate. “Kate.”

“Yes?” asked Kate.

“Are the self destruct! I can’t do it from the Slip Dimension!” order Vergil.

Kate ran to a computer terminal, then looked back as sparks started to come from the door. “They’re cutting through!” 

“The Phantom’s are breaking in from the Slip Dimension as well!” shouted Symbol in warning.

“We don’t have time for this!” shouted Dante.

“Then make time Dante!” snapped out Vergil. “Letting the Phantom’s get their hands on this data will not only doom the rest of The Order. But will be spitting on the sacrifices of the people who died today! I will not do that in a million years!”

“Shit, Vergil,” snarled out Dante.

“Kate, do it now!” ordered Vergil as he ran up to her. “This won’t take long Kate! I’ll help you!” comforted Vergil.

“How long do you two need?!” shouted Dante.

“Good question!” added Symbol.

“Not long,” replied Vergil. “A couple of minutes at the most!” he turned to Kate. “Ok, boot up the system!” 

“They’re in!” shouted Dante as a pair of Ravager Phantom burst from the ground, as did a whole squad of Blade Phantoms.

“I’ll take out the Ravager Phantom’s!” shouted Symbol. “You keep the Blade Phantoms off my back!” she ordered.

“Ok!” replied Dante. 

Symbol replaced the Giga Ring for the Active Ring and pressed the left Shift Lever. [MAGICAL TOUCH HENSHIN!] Then Symbol scanned the Giga Ring across the Wizard Driver’s Hand Author. [ACTIVE PLEASE!] She held her left glove out to the side, making the active magic circle appear and move through her, transforming Symbol into the Active Style. [LET’S GO!] Symbol drew the Active Blade as one of the Ravager Phantom lit itself on fire. She pulled on the Active Blade’s thumb, opening its Hand Author. [COME ON A SLASH SHAKE HANDS!] Symbol then scanned the Active Ring. [ACTIVE! SLASH STRIKE!] Red lightning ran up the sharp end of the Active Blade as the Ravager Phantom charged. Symbol ran at the Phantom and at the last second she twisted out of the way, slashing the Phantom across the waist. Sparks flew from them both as Symbol was burned by the heat.

Symbol looked up, only to have to throw up the Active Blade as the other Ravager Phantom slashed at her with its chainsaw. Symbol was forced to put her other glove on the back of the Active Blade, just to hold the Phantom back. ‘I’m losing ground!’ she jumped back, just as the Ravager Phantom broke through her guard and slashed a few sparks from her chest plate. Symbol landed on the ground as she added the Boost and Defend Rings to her right glove, then she struck the right Shift Lever. [MAGIC TOUCHIE HENSHIN!] Symbol scanned her right glove before holding it out to the side, making the two magic circles appear and pass over her. [BOOST DEFEND PLEASE!] Now in the Active Boost Defend Style, Symbol hit the right Shift Lever twice. [MAGIC TOUCHIE GO!] Then she swiped her right glove. [DEFEND MAGIC PLEASE!] Grey magical energy covered the Defend Shield as Symbol used it to block the chainsaw of the first Ravager Phantom. Thanks to this forms increased strength and grip on the ground, Symbol was able to hold the Ravager Phantom back.

Her lenses widened as the other Ravager Phantom came charging at her. Symbol slammed her free glove down on the right Shift Lever once. [MAGIC TOUCHIE GO!] Then she scanned her right glove. [BOOST MAGIC PLEASE!] Purple magical energy raced into her Boost Grieves as Symbol jumped into the air, over the Ravager Phantom that had been charging at her and then kicked it with both of her boots, making sparks fly from it as her boots made contact with its head.

Symbol landed back on the ground and switched the rings on her right glove before pressing the right Shift Lever. [MAGIC TOUCHIE HENSHIN!] Then she swiped her right glove before holding it out to the side. [ICE BIND PLEASE!] The two magic circles appeared and moved through Symbol, transforming her into the Active Ice Bind Style as she hit the the right Shift Lever once more. [MAGIC TOUCHIE GO!] Symbol scanned her right glove again as she pulled back her left glove. [ICE MAGIC PLEASE!] White frost gathered around it as Symbol slammed her fist onto the ground, making the floor flash freeze. While the Ravager Phantoms were not frozen to the floor, thanks to them being on fire at the time, they did fall over, stopping their charge.

“I’d better hold you two still!” shouted Symbol as she slammed her right glove down on the right Shift Lever twice. [MAGIC TOUCHIE GO!] Symbol pulled back the Grapple Gauntlet as she scanned her right glove across the Wizard Driver’s Hand Author. [BIND MAGIC PLEASE!] Orange energy gathered around the Grapple Gauntlet as Symbol threw it forwards, firing an orange chain into the ground that burst out and wrapped around the two Phantoms before shooting back into the ground, anchoring there.

“Finale!” shouted Symbol as she hit the right Shift Lever four times. [MAGIC TOUCHIE GO! VERY NICE!] Symbol scanned her right glove as orange magical energy started to gather around the Grapple Gauntlet. [ICE BIND MAGIC! THE BEST!] She threw the Grapple Gauntlet forwards, firing three chains of orange magical energy that shot into the ground. They burst out of the ground, one speared the first Ravager Phantom, the second chain speared through the second Ravager Phantom and the third chain tore through the both of them. “Chain Surround!” shouted Symbol as the Ravager Phantoms both went up in explosions. 

Symbol turned away from the explosion to go and help Dante, when she heard the sound of chainsaws from behind her getting closer! “No way!” snarled Symbol as she drew the Active Blade and pulled on its thumb, opening its Hand Author. [COME ON A SLASH SHAKE HANDS!] Symbol scanned her left glove. [ACTIVE! SLASH STRIKE!] Red lightning surged up the Active Blade and into the sharp side as Symbol spun around and held it over her helmet, using her other glove to brace it. The two Ravage Phantoms slammed their chainsaws down on the Active Blade, instantly driving Symbol to her knees. “How did you two survive that?!” she shouted.

She got no answer as the Ravager Phantoms continued to force their chainsaws down on her. “I shouldn't have asked!” Symbol was just able to switch the Active Ring for the Giga Ring and with a lot of effort on her part, she pressed the left Shift Lever. [MAGICAL TOUCH HENSHIN!] The Active Blade was still being forced down as Symbol scanned her left glove. [GIGA PLEASE!] Just as the chainsaws were about to touch her shoulder pauldrons, Symbol held the Giga Ring down to the ground, making the giga magic circle appear under her boots and rise up through her. [BREAK THROUGH!] The giga magic circle ran over the Active Blade, transforming it into the Giga Axe as Symbol, with the great strength of the Giga Style, forced the Ravager Phantoms off her. She struck the left Shift Lever twice. [MAGICAL TOUCH SPELL!] Then she scanned the Giga Ring. [GIGA B RANK SPELL!] Green magical energy covered her right glove as Symbol let go of the Giga Axe and lashed out with a horizontal chop, hitting both of the Phantoms, making sparks fly from their bodies and sending them staggering backwards.

While the Ravager Phantoms were staggering backwards, Symbol pulled on the Giga Axe’s thumb, opening its Hand Author. [COME ON A SMASH SHAKE HANDS!] Then she swiped her left glove across it. [GIGA SMASH STRIKE!] Green magic ran over the Giga Axe as Symbol spun it around once and brought it down on one of the Ravager Phantoms, making sparks explode from the impact and micro explosions go off around the impact zone before the Ravager Phantom exploded.

Then Symbol added the Punch and Drill Rings to her right glove before striking the right Shift Lever. [MAGIC TOUCHIE HENSHIN!] Then Symbol scanned her right glove and held it down to the ground, making the two magic circles unfolded on the floor before they rose up through her. [PUNCH DRILL PLEASE!] Now in the Giga Punch Drill Style, Symbol ran towards the other Ravager Phantom as she slammed her glove down on the right Shift Lever twice. [MAGIC TOUCHIC GO!] Symbol pulled back her left fist as she scanned her right glove. [DRILL MAGIC PLEASE!] The drills on the left Punch Driller started to spin as Symbol wrapped it in purple magical energy and slammed it into the ground. Out of which burst a rock wall that the Ravager Phantom smashed into at high speed, resulting in a lot of pain.

The Ravager Phantom peeled itself off the wall and started to hack at the blockade, unaware that Symbol and climbed to the top of the wall like a monkey and pressed the right Shift Lever once. [MAGIC TOUCHIC GO!] Symbol jumped into the air as she scanned her right glove across the Wizard Driver’s Hand Author. [PUNCH MAGIC PLEASE!] Flames wrapped around her right glove as Symbol went shooting down and slammed her right Punch Driller into the Phantom’s head making it fall to its knees from the force of the blow.

Symbol then hit the right Shift Lever four times. [MAGIC TOUCHIC GO! VERY NICE!] The Ravager Phantom started to get back up as Symbol swiped her right glove. [PUNCH DRILL MAGIC! THE BEST!] Symbol pulled back the right Punch Driller as the drills on it started to spin red energy covered it. “Magma Smash!” shouted Symbol. The Ravager Phantom could only watch as she punched the ground, right in front of it, out of which exploded a blade of magma that engulfed it and caused the Phantom to explode.

While his sister had been fighting a pair of strong Phantoms, Dante had been fighting a horde of Phantoms that while weak, made up for it in their numbers. Knowing that he would be at a disadvantage with the Eryx Style, Dante made to change forms, but the Blade Phantoms were too close. Changing his plans, Dante jumped into the air and pressed the Eryx Ring into the slot at the back of the right Eryx Gauntlet. [FIVE!] The dice appeared and spun, stopping on a five. [FIST STRIKE!] Dante gathered flames around himself as he shot down and slammed his fist into the ground, creating a shock wave of flame that forced the Blade Phantoms back. 

With some room, Dante switched the Eryx Ring for the Nephilim Ring and punched it into his Driver’s left slot. [SET!] Dante turned his wrist back, then forwards, making his Driver’s door close and open. [OPEN!] The nephilim magic circle appeared from Dante’s Driver, then it moved back through him, transforming Dante into the Nephilim Style. [N-E-P-H-I-L-I-M!] Dante dodged away from another slash from a Blade Phantom by jumping back, he punched the Nephilim Ring into the slot at the back of the Rebellion Blade’s handle. [TWO!] The mouth opened to reveal a pair of light blue and blood red circles. [NEPHILIM SABER STRIKE!] Dante spun around several times, forcing the Blade Phantoms to back off as they were cut into several times by the Rebellion Blade.

Dante punched the Nephilim Ring into the back of the Rebellion Blade’s handle again. [ONE!] Dante ran forwards as the mouth opened to show a pair of red and blue  [NEPHILIM SABER STRIKE!] Dante slashed upwards, sending one of the Blade Phantom’s shooting into the air, he used the sword’s momentum to pull himself after it.

Once Dante had caught up with the Phantom he pressed down on the Rebellion Blade’s trigger. [NEPHILIM SABER STRIKE!] Red and blue magical energy ran into the Rebellion Blade as Dante slashed down. “Helm Breaker!” this pulled both him and the Blade Phantom down to the ground where the Rebellion Blade split the Phantom in half, causing it to explode.

Dante turned around and block a slash from another Blade Phantom as it closed in on him. He blocked the attack with the Rebellion Blade and punched the Nephilim Ring into the slot at the bottom of its handle again. [FIVE!] The mouth opened as Dante jumped back, revealing five light blue and blood red circles within it. [NEPHILIM SABER STRIKE!] Dante then ran forwards and stabbed the Blade Phantom in the chest plate, sending it flying back with sparks coming from the impact point.

Dante quickly closed the distance between himself and the Blade Phantom as he punched the Nephilim Ring into the Rebellion Blade’s slot again. [ONE!] The mouth opened and all but one of the light blue and blood red circles had vanished from within it. [NEPHILIM SABER STRIKE!] Dante slashed upwards, sending the Blade Phantom shooting into the air as he used the Blade’s momentum to jump up after the Blade Phantom.

Dante pressed the Nephilim Ring into the slot at the base of the Rebellion Blade again. [FOUR!] The mouth closed and then opened again, this time four blood red / light blue circles were revealed in it. [NEPHILIM SABER STRIKE!] Dante pressed down on the Rebellion Blade’s trigger as he pulled the sword back. [NEPHILIM SABER STRIKE!] Red and blue magical energy surged up the Rebellion Blade as Dante unleashed three powerful slashes. “Aerial Rave!” shouted Dante as the Blade Phantom was split into three pieces by the attack. It fell back down to the ground as red and blue lightning crackled over its body before it exploded.

Dante landed back on the ground and had to duck as another Blade Phantom swung at him. Once more he slammed the Nephilim Ring into the slot at the base of the Rebellion Blade. [THREE!] The mouth slammed closed and then snapped open to reveal three blood red / light blue circles. [NEPHILIM SABER STRIKE!] Dante unleashed a trio of slashes, the first of which blocked a slash from the Blade Phantom and the other two made sparks come from the slashed points.

Dante quickly pressed down on the Rebellion Blade’s trigger. [NEPHILIM SABER STRIKE!] Red and blue magical energy surged up the Rebellion Blade as Dante slashed the Blade Phantom three times. “Hacker!” shouted Dante as he cut into the Blade Phantom, leaving a glowing line of red and blue magic for each cut. Lightning of both colours sparked over its body before the Phantom was sent flying back as the cuts exploded.

Dante noticed another Blade Phantom running at him and punched the Nephilim Ring into the slot at the base of the Rebellion Blade’s handle again. [ONE!] The mouth shut and opened, to reveal a single blood red / light blue dot. [NEPHILIM SABER STRIKE!] Dante ducked under the Blade Phantom’s swing as he swung upwards, sending the Blade Phantom shooting into the air while he used the sword’s momentum to pull himself after the Phantom.

Dante pressed down on the Rebellion Blade’s trigger as he drew level with the Phantom. [NEPHILIM SABER STRIKE!] The Rebellion Blade was covered in red and blue magical energy. “Roulette!” shouted Dante as he spun around, slashing at the Phantom five times. Sparks flew from its body as the Phantom was fired further up into the air and exploded.

Dante landed back on the ground, he drew Ebony and Ivory, opening fire on a pair of Blade Phantoms to keep them away. Dante held down on their triggers, a ring of red energy and a ring of blue energy were pulled into each of the hand cannons. A white energy ring was pulled into Ivory while a black energy ring was draw into Ebony. [EBONY AND IVORY STRIKE!] As the hand cannons finished charging Dante let go of the triggers. “Ricoshot!” this fired a pair of bullets that spiralled around each other, creating a drill effect as they tore through both of the Blade Phantoms. White and black lightning crackled over their bodies as the two Blade Phantoms exploded.

Then Dante saw another Blade Phantom running at him. He flipped the Rebellion Blade into a reverse handed grip and held down on its trigger. [NEPHILIM SABER STRIKE!] Blood red and light blue magical energy raced up the blade covering it. “Drive!” shouted Dante as he swung the blade, firing a wave of mixed energy that slammed into the Blade Phantom and destroyed it in an instant.

Suddenly, Dante looked over his shoulder pauldron and saw another three Blade Phantoms charging at him. He punched the Nephilim Ring into the slot at the base of the Rebellion Blade again. [SIX!] The mouth snapped shut then dropped open to reveal six light blue and blood red circles inside it. [NEPHILIM SABER STRIKE!] As the Blade Phantoms got within sword range, Dante unleashed several thousands slashes in the space of five seconds. A storm of sparks came from the Blade Phantoms as they all staggered backwards from the damage.

Seeking to finish the fight, Dante pressed down on the Rebellion Blade’s trigger. [NEPHILIM SABER STRIKE!] The sword started to hum as red and blue magical energy covered it. “Trillion Stabs!” roared Dante as he unleashed a much more powerful version of his last move that made sparks come from the Phantoms as they staggered backwards and exploded.

Dante glanced around and saw that there were still a few Blade Phantoms left. He punched the Nephilim Ring into the left slot of his Driver. [GO! KICK STRIKE!] Dante spun around and kicked out with his right boot as it was covered in blood red and bright blue energy. “Drive!” out of his boot roared a crescent of red and blue magical energy. It slammed into three of the last six Blade Phantoms and turned their lower halves to ash, making their upper halves explode.

Then Dante pressed down on the Rebellion Blade’s trigger. [NEPHILIM SABER STRIKE!] Dante covered the Rebellion Blade in red and blue magical energy as he slashed twice. “One! Two!” with each slash he fired a crescent of red and blue energy that formed an X which slammed into two of the final Blade Phantom. Dante then held the Rebellion Blade like it was a baseball bat as the final Blade Phantom charged at him. “Overdrive!” shouted Dante as he swung, firing a crescent of red and blue magical energy from point blank range that turned the Blade Phantom’s head to ash, causing it to explode much faster than the other two.

Dante and Symbol looked around as what looked like black mini Rage Phantoms started to crawl down the pillars towards them.

“Oh, this is not good,” muttered Symbol.

“Tell me about it!” shouted back Dante as he changed the Nephilim Ring for the Osiris Ring and punched it into his Driver’s left slot. [SET!] Dante turned his wrist back, then forwards making his Driver’s door close and open. [OPEN!] The osiris magic circle appeared from Dante’s Driver and moved back through him, transforming Dante into the Osiris Style. [O-S-I-R-I-S!] The Osiris Scythe appeared in Dante’s gloves as he punched the Osiris Ring into bottom of its handle. [ONE!] The holographic dice appeared and spun before stopping when it displayed a one. [SCYTHE STRIKE!] Dante started spinning the Osiris Scythe cutting through the Rage Spawn Phantoms, making each one the weapon came in contact with turn to dust. “Hey! These things aren’t real Phantoms! It doesn't even take a finishing move to kill them!” he shouted to his sister.

“Good to hear!” shouted Symbol as she switched the Giga Ring for the Swift Ring and pressed the left Shift Lever. [MAGICAL TOUCH HENSHIN!] Symbol scanned her left glove across the Wizard Driver’s Hand Author. [SWIFT PLEASE!] She held her left glove into the air and the swift magic circle appeared before falling through her, transforming Symbol into the Swift Style. [DASH AWAY!] Symbol pressed the left Shift Lever once. [MAGICAL TOUCH GO!] As the Rage Spawn Phantoms approached Symbol scanned her left glove. [SWIFT! C RANK SPELL!] She swiped her left glove to the side and five orbs of yellow magical energy appeared. They shot down and slammed through ten Rage Spawn Phantoms each, causing them to explode.

Dante punched the Osiris Ring into his Driver’s left slot. [KICK STRIKE GO!] Light blue magical energy covered his right boot as Dante spun around. “Karma!” his boot hit several of the Rage Spawn Phantoms as Dante completed his spin, causing each of the Phantoms that he had hit to go up in an explosion. Several more Rage Spawn Phantoms also exploded from the magical energy shooting off Dante’s boot and hitting them.

Symbol pressed the left Shift Lever four times as she was approached by several Rage Spawn Phantoms. [MAGICAL TOUCH GO! VERY NICE!] Symbol scanned her left glove across the Wizard Driver’s Hand Author as they approached. [SWIFT! S RANK SPELL! THE BEST!] Five orbs of yellow magical energy appeared in the air. “Swift Star!” they shot down and pierced through at least twenty Rage Spawn Phantoms each causing them to explode.

Dante held down on the Osiris Scythe’s trigger as the Rage Spawn Phantoms approached him. [SCYTHE STRIKE!] Light blue magical energy raced up the Osiris Scythe’s shaft and into its blade, the energy then formed into a construct of a light blue wing. The feathers shot off and followed the movements of the Osiris Scythe’s blade. “Karma!” bellowed Dante as the Osiris Scythe transformed into a circle of light with the feathers forming into five more circles that cut the Rage Spawn Phantoms to pieces just as they leapt at Dante, making them turn to dust.

Symbol drew the Swift Dagger in one glove as she pressed the left Shift Lever twice. [MAGICAL TOUCH GO!] Symbol scanned the Swift Ring just as the Rage Spawn Phantom’s leapt at her. [SWIFT! B RANK SPELL!] Symbol vanished into a streak of yellow light as she slashed the Rage Spawn Phantoms to pieces, cutting several of them in half and making them return to dust.

Dante quickly jumped into the air, letting three Rage Spawn Phantoms pass under him as he punched the Osiris Ring into the slot at the base of the Osiris Scythe’s shaft. [THREE!] The dice appeared and spun until it stopped on a three. [SCYTHE STRIKE!] Dante extended the Osiris Scythe down and then used it as a hook to split several of the Rage Spawn Phantoms in half.

“This is getting a bit stupid!” shouted Symbol as she ducked under another Rage Spawn Phantom and hit the left Shift Lever four times. [MAGICAL TOUCH GO! VERY NICE!] Symbol dodged to the side as she scanned the Swift Ring. [SWIFT! S RANK SPELL! THE BEST!] Yellow magic energy covered her body as she vanished in a yellow blur that started to run around a group of the Rage Spawn Phantoms. The blur speed up until it formed into a circle. Symbol broke off and ran through the centre of the circle before rejoining it, cutting two Rage Spawn Phantoms in half as she did so. “Swift Attack!” shouted Symbol as she kept doing this picking up speed until she had destroyed all of the Rage Spawn Phantoms within the circle.

“What do you mean?” shouted Dante to Symbol as he punched the Osiris Ring into the left slot of his Driver. [KICK STRIKE GO!] Dante covered his right boot in light blue magical energy as he kicked downwards. “Rake!” this action fired the light blue energy off his boot, it went shooting down and impacted the ground with an explosion that sent several Rage Spawn Phantoms shooting through the air where they exploded.

“I mean how many of these things are their?!” shouted Symbol as she hit the left Shift Lever three times. [MAGICAL TOUCH GO!] Symbol swiped the Swift Ring. [SWIFT! A RANK SPELL!] Six bolts of yellow magical energy shot out of the ceiling and slammed into several of the Rage Spawn Phantoms, piercing all the way through them and making them explode.

“Keep calm sis!” shouted Dante. “We’re thinning the horde!” he yelled as he pressed down on the Osiris Scythe’s trigger. [SCYTHE STRIKE!] Light blue magical energy raced up the handle and into the shaft. The light blue energy formed into a wing construct that ejected its feathers. “Rake!” shouted Dante as he swung the Osiris Scythe down, firing the feathers down in a pillar of solid magical energy that slammed into several of the Rage Spawn Phantoms and crushed them flat.

“Your right!” Symbol realised as she pulled out the Swift Dagger and pulled on its thumb, opening its Hand Author. [COME ON A BLAST SHAKE HANDS!] Symbol took aim as she scanned the Swift Ring across the Swift Dagger’s Hand Author. [SWIFT! BLASTER STRIKE!] Yellow magic built up in front of the barrel. “Swift Barrage!” shouted Symbol as she fired a storm of yellow energy bolts that impacted the Rage Spawn Phantoms and caused several of them to explode.

Dante landed back on ground, but he was not going to be there for long. He punched the Osiris Ring into the slot at the bottom of the Osiris Scythe’s handle. [FOUR!] The dice appeared and spun around, stopping on a four. [SCYTHE STRIKE!] Dante crouched down as over a hundred Rage Spawn Phantoms leapt at him. Then he jumped into the air while spinning. The Osiris Scythe emitted the light blue wind that pulled the Phantoms into the air as they were turned to dust. 

Symbol dodged to the side and kicked the Rage Spawn Phantom, making it burst apart. She jumped into the air and then stamped on another Rage Spawn Phantom. “I’m going to be over run at this rate,” she muttered as she transformed the Swift Blaster into the Swift Dagger and pulled on its thumb, opening its Hand Author. [COME ON A HIT SHAKE HANDS!] Symbol scanned the Swift Ring across the Swift Dagger’s Hand Author. [SWIFT! STAB STRIKE!] The Swift Dagger blazed with yellow magical energy as Symbol ran forwards. “Swift Barrage!” she unleashed a barrage of stabs that made over one hundred and fifty Rage Spawn Phantom burst into black smoke.

Dante was still in the air as he pressed the Osiris Scythe’s trigger. [SCYTHE STRIKE!] Light blue magic energy surged up its shaft and formed into a wing construct around the blade. Dante spun the weapon like a helicopter, the feathers shot off into the tornado of light blue wind that surrounded Dante, cutting the Rage Spawn Phantoms that had been pulled into the tornado to bits. “Raze!” shouted Dante as he kept up the spinning, pulling more and more of the Rage Spawn Phantoms into the air until there were none left.

Just when they thought it was over, the centre of the floor gave way, revealing several Phantom shards.

“This is getting silly!” shouted Symbol as she switched the Swift Ring for the Burst Ring and pressed down on the left Shift Lever. [MAGICAL TOUCH HENSHIN!] Symbol scanned the Burst Ring. [BURST PLEASE!] Then Symbol held her left glove out to the side, making the burst magic circle appear behind her and move through her, transforming Symbol into the Burst Style as it blocked a Phantom Shard. [CAST THE SPELL!] Symbol pressed the left Shift Lever once. [MAGICAL TOUCH GO!] Then she scanned the Burst Ring as a Phantom Shard approached. [BURST! C RANK SPELL!] Symbol held up her left glove and five sparks appeared in the air, before transforming into balls of fire that shot forwards and destroyed the Phantom Shard.

Symbol saw a pair of Phantom Shard spinning at her and hit the left Shift Lever four times. [MAGICAL TOUCH GO! VERY NICE!] She scanned her left glove across the Wizard Driver’s Hand Author. [BURST! S RANK SPELL! THE BEST!] This time ten sparks appeared in the air and transformed into balls of flame. “Fire Swarm!” shouted Symbol as the fireballs impacted the Phantom Shards and destroyed the both of them in large explosions.

Symbol glanced around and saw that four more Phantom Shards had appeared in the air. She drew the Burst Wand and transformed it into the Burst Staff, she pulled on its thumb, opening its Hand Author. [COME ON A SPELL SHAKE HANDS] Symbol scanned her left glove across the Burst Staff’s Hand Author. [BURST! SPELL STRIKE!] Symbol held up the Burst Staff and four spears of purple magical energy appeared around her before shooting towards the Phantom Shards. “Burst Spears!” shouted Symbol as the spears made contact and destroyed the Phantom Shards.

Symbol saw another three Phantom Shards appearing in the air. She added the Dust and Mirror Rings to her right glove and hit the right Shift Lever. [MAGIC TOUCHIE HENSHIN!] Symbol scanned her right glove and held it out to the side with her palm facing backwards. [DUST MIRROR PLEASE!] The two magic circles appeared behind her and moved through her, transforming Symbol into the Burst Dust Mirror Style. Symbol quickly hit the right Shift Lever once. [MAGIC TOUCHIE GO!] Then she scanned her right glove. [DUST MAGIC PLEASE!] A storm of dust surged outwards from her body and slammed into the three Phantom Shards making them explode.

Then Symbol saw another three Phantom Shards appear and start to spin. She switched the rings on her right glove and pressed the right Shift Lever. [MAGIC TOUCHIE HENSHIN!] Then Symbol scanned her right glove before holding it out to the side with her palm facing backwards. [STEAM RADIATION PLEASE!] The two magic circles appeared behind Symbol and moved through her, transforming her into the Burst Steam Radiation Style. She slammed her glove down on the right Shift Lever. [MAGIC TOUCHIE GO!] Then she scanned her right glove. [RADIATION MAGIC PLEASE!] A ball of green radiation appeared in her glove and went shooting forwards, slamming into the three Phantom Shards and causing them to explode.

Symbol saw five more Phantom Shards burst from the ground as she hit the right Shift Lever four times. [MAGIC TOUCHIE GO! VERY NICE!] Symbol swiped her right glove as the Phantom Shards started to spin. [STEAM RADIATION MAGIC! THE BEST!] Symbol waved her right glove around in a circle, it left a trail of green radiation that formed into a ring. “Radiation Burst!” shouted Symbol as the ring was sent shooting forwards and cut through the Phantom Shards, causing all of them to explode.

Symbol quickly hit the right Shift Lever three times. [MAGIC TOUCHIE GO!] More Phantom Shards appeared as she scanned her right glove. [STEAM RADIATION MAGIC PLEASE!] An orb of white steam appeared in her left glove while an orb of green radiation appeared in her other glove. Symbol slammed them both together and they transformed into a pair of beams that spiralled around each other. Five more Phantom Shards were destroyed by the beam.

Dante drew Ebony and Ivory, he held down on their triggers. Two rings of light blue magical energy were pulled into each of the hand cannons, a black ring was pulled into Ebony and a white ring was pulled into Ivory. [EBONY AND IVORY STRIKE!] Dante let go of the triggers. “Ricoshot!” he shouted as the two bullets spiralled around each other forming into a drill like effect that zoomed forwards, tearing through a pair of Phantom Shards with ease.

“ARGH!” shouted Dante as a Phantom Shard got through and slammed into his chest plate making sparks explode from it as he was sent flying backwards.

Dante quickly punched the Osiris Ring into the back of Ebony’s hammer [OSIRIS!] Two rings of light blue energy were pulled into the hand cannon as was a ring of black energy. [EBONY STRIKE!] Dante took aim and fired a wide spreader beam that shot through the air. It was coloured light blue and slammed into the Phantom Shards making all of them explode.

“ARGH!” shouted Dante as two Phantom Shards got through and slammed into him from either side. He was sent flying backwards with sparks coming from his body.

“Shit!” growled Dante as he got back to his boots. “They’re getting faster!” He switched out Ebony for Ivory and punched the Osiris Ring into the back of its Hammer. [OSIRIS!] Two rings of light blue magical energy were pulled into the hand cannon, they were quickly joined by a white ring of magic energy. [IVORY STRIKE!] Dante let go of the trigger, firing a large powerful beam that was coloured white and light blue. It smashed through three Phantom Shards before exploding powerfully, taking out three more. 

“This is bad,” muttered Dante.

“Dante!” shouted Vergil.

He turned to his brother just in time to catch something. Looking at it he saw that the object was a silver double barrelled shotgun. It had no stocks and a sawn off bore. It had a simple grip with an engraved handle under the barrel. Dante looked at the shotgun and then back at Vergil.

“It’s called Revenant!” shouted Vergil. “I thought it might help!” he turned back to Kate, helping her with the computer.

“Nice,” muttered Dante as he pulled open the barrel and noticed that instead of shotgun shells it had the same slot as his Driver’s left slot in the back of each barrel. “This is gonna be good!” he punched the Osiris Ring into left slot. [OSIRIS!] Then Dante snapped the barrel closed. [HALF CHARGE!] Dante took aim and fired. Out of the Revenant Shotgun’s left barrel roared a beam of light blue magical energy that slammed into one of the Phantom Shards and blew it up.

“This thing can destroy Phantom Shards in a single shot?!” demanded Dante. “Hell yeah!” he pulled open the Revenant Shotgun again and punched the Osiris Ring into the left slot. [OSIRIS!] Then Dante snapped the barrel closed. [HALF CHARGE!] Just before he fired, he looked at the Revenant Shotgun. “If it’s that powerful with just one slot, then what happens with both slots?” he pulled open the Revenant Shotgun again and punched the Osiris Ring into the right slot. [OSIRIS!] Dante snapped the barrel closed once more. [FULLY CHARGED!] Dante took aim and pull the trigger, firing a pair of light blue bullets that tore through half a dozen Phantom Shards.

“Let’s see what it does with the Nephilim Style,” Dante punched the Nephilim Ring into his Driver’s left slot. [SET!] Dante turned his wrist back, then forwards making his Driver’s door close and open. [OPEN!] The nephilim magic circle appeared from Dante’s Driver and he ran through it. [N-E-P-H-I-L-I-M!] Emerging in the Nephilim Style. He pulled open the Revenant Shotgun and pressed the Nephilim Ring into its left slot. [NEPHILIM!] Then Dante snapped the Revenant Shotgun closed. [HALF CHARGE!] He took aim at one of the Phantom Shards before firing. Out of the Revenant Shotgun’s left barrel soared a black bullet that impacted the Phantom Shard. Causing it and three other shards around it to go up in explosions.

“Finale!” shouted Dante as he pulled open the Revenant Shotgun’s barrel, punching the Nephilim Ring into the left slot again. [NEPHILIM!] Then Dante snapped the Revenant Shotgun closed. [HALF CHARGE!] Before Dante pulled open the barrel once more and punched the Nephilim Ring into the right slot. [NEPHILIM!] Then Dante slammed the barrel closed. [FULLY CHARGED!] Dante took aim and fired another blast that destroyed the rest of the Phantom Shards.

“They’re almost through,” muttered Kate.

“Let’s go, Sunset, Dante,” ordered Vergil.

“Wait!” shouted Dante.

“What?” asked Vergil.

“What about Kate?!” demanded Dante.

“We can’t just leave her here!” shouted Symbol.

“There’s no way out for me in the real world,” explained Kate.

“No. We can’t help her,” explained Vergil. “Let’s go,” he repeated.

“We can’t just leave her!” shouted Dante.

“Think, Dante!” shouted Vergil. “We’re in the Slip Dimension! She’s in the real world! There is nothing we can do from here!” 

At that moment the Phantoms arrived.

“Looks like I get to fight alongside you for once,” commented Vergil.

Dante ran towards a Blade Phantom and punched the Nephilim Ring into the bottom of the Rebellion Blade’s handle. [ONE!] The mouth snapped open to reveal a singled red and blue dot. [NEPHILIM SABER STRIKE!] Dante slashed upwards, sending a Blade Phantom shooting into the air.

Then, as the Phantom came falling back down, Dante pressed down on the Rebellion Blade’s trigger. [NEPHILIM SABER STRIKE!] Red and blue magical energy raced up the Rebellion Blade. “High Time!” another powerful upwards slash sent the Blade Phantom shooting back into the air with sparks coming from its body as it was split in half before exploding in a ball of fire.

Dante jumped into the air, getting level with a Icarus Phantom that had been about to hurl a bomb at him as he punched the Nephilim Ring into his Driver’s left slot. [GO! KICK STRIKE!] Dante covered his right boot in red and blue magical energy as he kicked down. “Helm Breaker!” the heel of his boot made contact with the Phantoms head and caved it in as the Phantom exploded.

Dante landed back on the ground and saw a Death Knight Phantom charging at him. He switched the Nephilim Ring for the Eryx Ring and punched it onto his Driver’s left slot. [SET!] Dante twisted his wrist back, then turned it forwards, making his Driver’s door close and open. [OPEN!] The eryx magic circle appeared from Dante’s Driver, it slammed into the Hell Knight Phantom, throwing it back as it moved through Dante. [E-R-Y-X!] Dante ran at the Hell Knight Phantom as he punched the Eryx Ring into the slot at the back of the right Eryx Gauntlet. [ONE!] The holographic dice warped in and spun once, stopping when it displayed a single blood red dot. [FIST STRIKE!] Dante covered both of his fists in red energy as she punched the Phantom’s shield three times until sparks came from it and the shield exploded.

“ARGH!” shouted Dante as the Hell Knight Phantom slashed him across the chest plate making sparks come from the cut. He punched the Eryx Ring into the slot on the back of the right Eryx Gauntlet again. [THREE!] The holographic dice started to spin until it stopped when it displayed a three. [FIST STRIKE!] Dante ran forwards, ducking under a slash from the Hell Knight Phantom and punching it into the air with a powerful uppercut.

Dante punched the Eryx Ring into the back of the right Eryx Gauntlet once more. [FOUR!] The dice spun, changing its numbers from three to a four. [FIST STRIKE!] Dante got slightly above the Hell Knight Phantom and punched down, sending it shooting back into the ground with enough force for the ground to crack on impact.

Dante punched the Eryx Ring into the slot of the right Eryx Gauntlet once again. [FIVE!] The numbers on the dice changed as it spun, stopping on a five. [FIST STRIKE!] Dante quickly punched the Eryx Ring into his Driver’s left slot and turned his wrist forwards. [GO! KICK STRIKE!] Dante covered his right boot in red magical energy and burning red flame as he shot down. “Stomp!” his boot slammed into the Hell Knight Phantom and caused it to explode.

Dante quickly punched the Eryx Ring into the left slot of the Revenant Shotgun as he pulled it open. [ERYX!] Dante slammed the Revenant Shotgun closed as it started to charge. [HALF LOADED!] Then he opened it once more as he punched the Eryx Ring into its right barrel. [ERYX!] Then Dante closed the Revenant Shotgun once more as the right barrel began to charge along with the left barrel. [FULL CHARGED!] Dante took aim and fired a pair of bullets that shifted into a pair of red constructs of the Eryx Gauntlets that shot forwards and slammed into a pair of Death Knight Phantom, tearing through their shield and forcing the Phantoms to drop them as the shields exploded, stunning the Death Knight Phantoms.

Dante quickly punched the Eryx Ring into the slot at the back of the right Eryx Gauntlet. “Take this!” shouted Dante as he ran forwards. [SIX!] The holographic dice appeared and spun, stopping on a six. [FIST STRIKE!] Dante pulled back his fist as he punched one of the Death Knight Phantoms in the face, sending it flying backwards until it crashed into a wall.

“ARGH!” shouted Dante in pain as the other Death Knight Phantom recovered and slashed him across the chestplate. He punched the Eryx Ring into the back of the right Eryx Gauntlet as he recovered. [SIX!] The dice did not move this time as Dante dodged another slash. [FIST STRIKE!] Dante pulled back his right fist as he avoided a slash and punched the Phantom in the face, sending it flying back and smashing into the wall, next to the other Death Knight Phantom.

Dante quickly punched the Eryx Ring into his Driver’s right slot and twisted it forwards. [GO! KICK STRIKE!] Red magical energy covered Dante’s right boot as he jumped into the air, flipped once and came shooting down with a flying kick. “Snake Eyes!” shouted Dante as his boot made contact with the two Death Knight Phantoms both of which went up in explosions.

Suddenly, a Rage Phantom jumped out of the ground and lunged at Dante, slashing him across the thigh with a pair of glowing red claws. “ARGHH!” Dante shouted in pain as he switched the Eryx Ring for the Arbiter Ring and punched it into his Driver’s left slot. [SET!] Dante turned his wrist back, then forwards making his Driver’s gate close and open. [OPEN!] The arbiter magic circle appeared from Dante’s Driver and moved back through him, transforming Dante into the Arbiter Style. [A-R-B-I-T-E-R!] He drew the Revenant Shotgun and pulled it open before punching the Arbiter Ring into its left slot. [ARBITER!] Then Dante snapped the Revenant Shotgun closed again as the left barrel started charging. [HALF CHARGE!] Dante took aim at the Rage Phantom and fired a single red bullet that slammed into its shoulder and made the Rage Phantom stagger back, stunned.

Dante punched the Arbiter Ring into the slot at the base of the Arbiter Axe’s handle. [TWO!] In a flash of red light the holographic dice appeared and spun around twice, stopping on a two. [AXE STRIKE!] Dante took aim and slammed the Arbiter Axe into the ground, from the impact point came a pair of red energy lines that threw the Rage Phantom up into the air.

This was a mistake, the Rage Phantom started to spin as it fired quills at Dante. He staggered back several steps as sparks came from his armour. Dante punched the Arbiter Ring into the slot at the base of the Arbiter Axe’s handle. [SIX!] The dice appeared and spun, stopping on a six. [AXE STRIKE!] Then Dante pressed down on the Arbiter Axe’s trigger, making red magical energy surge up the shaft and into the blade. [AXE STRIKE!] The Rage Phantom came shooting down towards Dante as a spinning ball of death. “Batter Up!” shouted Dante as he swung the Arbiter Axe around and hit the Rage Phantom. It was sent shooting back into the air before it exploded.

Suddenly, Dante jumped into the air as a Ravager Phantom passed under him, having attempted to slash him with its chainsaw. Dante punched the Arbiter Ring into the bottom of the Arbiter Axe’s handle. [FIVE!] The dice appeared and spun until it stopped on a five. [AXE STRIKE!] Dante went shooting down as he slammed the Arbiter Axe down into the Ravager Phantom’s head, making sparks explode off it.

The Phantom was stunned. Dante drew the Revenant Shotgun and pulled it open as he punched the Arbiter Ring into the left barrel. [ARBITER!] Then Dante snapped the Revenant Shotgun closed. [HALF CHARGE!] Before pulling it back open as the left barrel started to charge and punching the Arbiter Ring into the right barrel. [ARBITER!] Then Dante slammed the Revenant Shotgun closed again. [FULLY CHARGED!] Dante took aim, just as the Ravager Phantom recovered and fired a shot between its eyes. Cracks spread through the Ravager Phantom as red lightning crackled off its body and micro explosions went off around it before the Phantom exploded.

Symbol switched the Burst Ring for the Active Ring and hit the left Shift Lever. [MAGICAL TOUCH HENSHIN!] She scanned her left glove across the Wizard Driver’s Hand Author. [ACTIVE PLEASE!] Symbol held her left glove out to the side, making the active magic circle appear and move through her. [LET’S GO!] Now in the Active Style, Symbol hit the left Shift Lever once. [MAGICAL TOUCH GO!] She ran towards a Lesser Blade Phantom as she scanned her left glove. [ACTIVE! C RANK SPELL!] Red lightning covered her right glove as she slammed her palm into the Lesser Blade Phantom and sent it staggering backwards with red lightning cracking over its body.

Symbol quickly struck the left Shift Lever four times. [MAGICAL TOUCH GO! VERY NICE!] As the Lesser Blade Phantom started to recover, she scanned her left glove. [ACTIVE! S RANK SPELL! THE BEST!] Red magical energy covered her right palm and mixed with the red lightning that surrounded it. “Active Strike!” shouted Symbol as a beam of lightning leapt from her glove and through the Lesser Blade Phantom. Sparks came from the entrance and exit points before the Lesser Blade Phantom went up in an explosion.

Symbol added the Slasher and Aqua Rings to her right glove and pressed the right Shift Lever. [MAGIC TOUCHIE HENSHIN!] She scanned her right glove across the Wizard Driver’s Hand Author then held it out to the side, making the two magic circle appear and move through her. [SLASHER AQUA PLEASE!] Symbol ran towards the two Blade Phantoms that had just burst out of the ground and hit the right Shift Lever once. [MAGIC TOUCHIE GO!] Then she scanned her right glove across the Wizard Driver’s Hand Author as she approached the Phantoms. [SLASHER MAGIC PLEASE!] Red lightning covered both of the Slasher Tidal Claws as Symbol spun around and slashed at the Phantoms. They blocked her attack which proved to be a mistake as the red lightning leapt from her weapons and into the Phantoms electrocuting both of them.

Both of the Phantoms stumbled back as Symbol hit the right Shift Lever four times. [MAGICAL TOUCH GO! VERY NICE!] Symbol scanned her right glove across the Wizard Driver’s Hand Author as she leapt at the two Blade Phantoms. [SLASHER AQUA MAGIC THE BEST!] Red lightning shot down from the ceiling and into the Slasher Tidal Claws as Symbol slashed at both of the Blade Phantoms. “Slasher Burst!” shouted Symbol as in a flash of red light both of the Blade Phantoms were split in half.

Symbol then hit the right Shift Lever twice more as a pair of Valkyrie Phantoms appeared in the air. [MAGIC TOUCHIE GO!] She ran away from a bomb as she scanned her right glove across the Wizard Driver’s Hand Author. [AQUA MAGIC PLEASE!] Water was pulled from the air and into the Slasher Tidal Claws as Symbol swung them forwards, firing three blobs of water that shifted into crescent. They impacted the Phantoms and made the bombs they had been about to throw go off in their hands, damaging them.

Seeing her opening to finish them off, Symbol slammed her right glove down on the right Shift Lever three times. [MAGICAL TOUCH GO! VERY NICE!] Symbol aligned her right glove across the Wizard Driver’s Hand Author. [SLASHER AQUA MAGIC THE BEST!] Blue water was pulled in from the air and into the Tidal Slasher Claws. “Aqua Slash!” shouted Symbol as she threw both of her arms forwards, firing six orbs of water forwards. They transformed into six crescents of water that smashed into the aerial Phantoms and cut straight through them with the water pressure. 

At that moment a Butcher Phantom pulled itself up from the ground. “You have got be be kidding me!” shouted Symbol. “I thought these were supposed to be rare Phantoms, not Phantoms that jumped up every five seconds. At least this cannot get any worse,” Symbol sighed, then she winced as she heard three more Phantoms burst from the ground. “I just had to say that, didn’t I?” she looked up and alongside the Butcher Phantom were three Tyrant Phantoms. She switched the Active Ring for the Advance Ring and pressed the left Shift Lever. [TOUCH TO ADVANCE YOUR CLASS!] Symbol scanned her left glove across the Wizard Driver’s Hand Author and held her left glove out in front of her. [ADVANCE PLEASE!] The advance magic circle appeared in front of her and then moved back through Symbol, transforming her into the Advance Style.

The Butcher Phantom started the fight by crossing its arms and firing five buzzsaw constructs at Symbol. She struck the left Shift Lever twice. [TOUCH TO CAST THE NEXT LEVEL!] Then Symbol scanned her left glove across the Wizard Driver’s Hand Author. [ADVANCE B TIER SPELL!] She vanished and appeared in front of the Butcher Phantom with her elbow drawn back, only to be hit in the side by one of the Tyrant Phantoms.

“ARGH!” shouted Symbol in pain as sparks flew from her armour. She was sent flying and slammed down by a double hammer blow from another Tyrant Phantom, then the third Tyrant Phantom did a body slam on top of her. “This is bad,” muttered Symbol as she hit the left Shift Lever once. [TOUCH TO CAST THE NEXT LEVEL!] Then she struggled, scanning the Advance Ring across the Wizard Driver’s Hand Author. [ADVANCE C TIER SPELL!] She uppercutted the Tyrant Phantom that was pinning her down into the air with great force. Only for it to be sent flying back down by another of the Tyrant Phantom, pinning Symbol down once more.

“There overpowering me in the Advanced Style?!” shouted Symbol in shock. She looked to the side and saw the Butcher Phantom firing a large vertical buzzsaw construct. Looking around for a second Symbol had an idea. “Let’s hope this works!” she hit the left Shift Lever three times. [TOUCH TO CAST THE NEXT LEVEL!] Symbol scanned her left glove across the Wizard Driver’s Hand Author as the construct approached. [ADVANCE A TIER SPELL!] She slammed her fist into the Tyrant Phantom, lifting it off her slightly. Then Symbol smashed her other fist into the side of its face, sending the Phantom flying back into the buzzsaw. Sparks exploded from its body until the Tyrant Phantom was cut in half by the buzzsaw and quickly exploded.

“Huh? I’m shocked that really worked! OW!” Symbol clutched her helmet in pain as a blast of pain lanced through it. “Not much time left,” she slammed her left glove down on the left Shift Lever four times. [TOUCH TO CAST THE NEXT LEVEL! VERY NICE!] Symbol scanned her left glove across the Wizard Driver’s Hand Author as one of the Tyrant Phantom set itself on fire and charged at her. [ADVANCE S TIER SPELL! THE BEST!] Symbol pulled back both of her gloves and curled them into fists. She slammed both of them down in a hammer blow. “Advance Hammer!” shouted Symbol as her fists made contact with one of the Tyrant Phantoms, cracks spread through its body but it did not explode and was able to swat Symbol out of the air, only to be cut in half by one of the Butcher Phantoms buzzsaws as it had gotten in the way.

“This lot don’t care about each other!” shouted Symbol in shock. Suddenly, she was grabbed from behind by the last Tyrant Phantom and put into a choke hold. “Hey! What are you!?” she saw the Butcher Phantom set itself on fire and fire five buzzsaw constructs that blazed through the air and slammed into both Symbol as well as the Tyrant Phantom. Which exploded, adding to the damage that Symbol had to endure!

“ARGH!” shouted Symbol as she was sent flying out of the explosion with yellow lightning crackling over her body as she tried desperately to hold onto her transformed state. After a few seconds she got a handle on herself and got back to her boots. “I’m ending this now!” Symbol struck the left Shift Lever twice. [TOUCH TO CAST THE NEXT LEVEL!] She vanished in a burst of speed after scanning her left glove across the Wizard Driver’s Hand Author. [ADVANCE B TIER SPELL!] Symbol appeared in front of the Butcher Phantom and slammed her elbow into its gut orb sending it staggering back with sparks coming from it.

[TOUCH TO CAST THE NEXT LEVEL! VERY NICE!] The Butcher Phantom looked up at Symbol. [ADVANCE S TIER SPELL! THE BEST!] Just in time to see her appear in front of it and charge her arms with yellow magical energy. “Cross Guard Counter!” roared Symbol as she uncrossed her arms and cut a yellow X into the Butcher Phantoms gut orb. Symbol jumped back as yellow lightning sparked over it before the Butcher Phantom fell over and exploded.

Vergil pulled the handle of his cane out slightly to reveal it as a single sided katana called the Yamato: The Space Cutting Sword. He pressed down on the first button on the Space Sheath. [ONE!] Then he pressed the left Shift Lever of his Driver. [KATANA STRIKE! NOW!] Vergil ran forwards as he pulled the Yamato from the Space Sheath. He slashed one of the Lesser Blade Phantoms twice before ending on a powerful downwards strike. Sparks flew from all three cuts as the Phantom staggered back.

Vergil sheathed his blade as he ran his left glove up the Space Sheath, charging it with red and blue magical energy. [YES! KATANA STRIKE!] Vergil ran forwards as he pulled the Yamato from the Space Sheath. [UNDERSTAND?!] Vergil slashed the Phantom twice before ending his combo on a powerful downwards strike. “Slasher!” he shouted as the Lesser Blade Phantom sparked and then exploded.

Suddenly, Vergil scanned his left glove across his Wizard Driver’s Hand Author. [YES! KICK STRIKE!] Vergil vanished in a blur, leaving behind a burst of blue energy as he teleported a short distance. [UNDERSTAND!?] The Blade Phantom that had been attempting to strike him from behind looked around, confused. Vergil pressed the second button on the Space Sheath. [TWO!] He ran towards the Blade Phantom as he started to pull the Yamato Katana out of the Space Sheath. [KATANA STRIKE! NOW!] Vergil slashed the Blade Phantom with an upwards diagonal slash, then a downwards diagonal slash. He placed the Yamato Katana back in the Space Sheath before drawing it again and repeating the move. He spun around and performed a downwards diagonal slash, then an upwards diagonal slash before repeating the downwards diagonal slash. He slid the Yamato Katana back into the Space Sheath as the delay on the damage was lifted and the Blade Phantom staggered back with sparks coming from its body.

Then Vergil placed his left glove on the base of the Space Sheath before sliding it up. [YES! KATANA STRIKE!] The Yamato Katana within the Space Sheath was charged with energy as Vergil’s glove reached the top. [UNDERSTAND?!] Vergil drew the Yamato Katana and lunged at the Blade Phantom. He unleashed a barrage of slashes that made sparks explode from the Phantom. Vergil stopped after unleashing several thousand slashes in the space of ten seconds. “Cross Cut!” he whispered as he slowly slid the Yamato Katana back into the Space Sheath. When the Yamato Katana clicked home the delay on the damage wa lifted and the Blade Phantom went up in a massive explosion.

Vergil jumped back as a Rage Phantom jumped out of the ground and slashed at him with its front claws on fire. Vergil quickly hit the third button on the Space Sheath. [THREE!] He dashed forwards and drew the Yamato Sword. [KATANA STRIKE! NOW!] In the same motion as him drawing it, Vergil slashed upwards, sending the Rage Phantom shooting into the air. That proved to be a mistake as the Rage Phantom ejected its quills and fired them at Vergil.

“GAH!” shouted Vergil as sparks flew from his armour. He pressed the left Shift Lever twice. [YES! KICK STRIKE!] Then he scanned the Nephilim Ring across his Wizard Driver’s Hand Author. [UNDERSTAND!?] A sword made of crystal appeared in the air and shot forwards, slamming into the Rage Phantoms shoulder and making it howl in pain as it spiralled around and slammed into the ground.

With his opening, Vergil switched the Nephilim Ring for a silver ring that had a silver gem shaped like a pair of angel wings in the centre of it. Vergil pressed the left Shift Lever and scanned his left glove across his Wizard Driver’s Hand Author. [ANGEL!] He held his left glove into the air and a magic circle appeared, falling down through him. It was a pair of silver angel wings, inside a silver triangle. At each of the triangles points was a circle with a pair of silver angel wings wings it. The triangle was within a silver eight-pointed star, within a second triangle. This one had two layers and silver text between the two layers. [NOW!] The magic circle fell through Vergil, transforming the bronze outlines on his armour, bodysuit and robe into silver outlines. This is Kamen Rider Vergil Angel Style. The Space Sheath Flashed as it transformed into a second katana called the Space Katana.

Vergil dashed towards the recovering Rage Phantom just as it started to get back to its feet. He pressed the first button on the Space Katana. [ONE!] Then he charged silver energy into both the Space Katana and the Yamato Katana making them glow slightly with silver energy. [KATANA STRIKE! NOW!] Vergil lunged forwards as he held both of his katana’s parallel to each other and started to spin, cutting into the Rage Phantom repeatedly with each spin, making sparks come from its body. 

Vergil quickly pressed the second button on the Space Katana. [TWO!] He channelled silver energy into the Space Katana and the Yamato Katana, making both of them glow slightly with silver magical energy. [KATANA STRIKE! NOW!] Vergil got ready as the Rage Phantom jumped into the air and started spinning towards him. At the last second Vergil spun, cutting the Rage Phantom repeatedly with both of his katana’s making sparks fly from their bodies.

Vergil quickly threw the Space Katana into the air and ran his glove over the Yamato Katana. [YES! KATANA STRIKE!] Silver magical energy raged around it as he reached up and caught the Space Katana. He slammed the two of them together at the pommels making silver magical energy run into the Space Katana from the Yamato Katana. [UNDERSTAND?!] Vergil waited patiently as the Rage Phantom jumped into the air and spun at him again. “Flare!” he shouted as he spun around, cutting the Phantom in half with his two katanas.

Then a Death Knight Phantom burst out of the ground behind Vergil. He pressed the left Shift Lever and scanned the Angel Ring across his Wizard Driver’s Hand Author. [YES! KICK STRIKE!] Vergil dashed forwards, vanishing in a burst of silver smoke that the Death Knight Phantom cut through. [UNDERSTAND!?] Vergil reappeared several feet away and vanished in another burst speed, getting a bit of distance.

Vergil switched the Angel Ring out for his Demon Ring. It was golden with a gem that was shaped like a pair of golden demon wings in the centre of it. Vergil hit his Wizard Driver’s left Shift Lever and scanned his left glove across it. [DEMON!] Vergil held his left glove down to the ground and a new magic circle appeared. It was a pair of golden demons wings inside a golden triangle. At each of the triangles points was a circle with a pair of golden demon wings within them. The triangle was inside a golden eight-pointed star, inside a second golden triangle that was identical to the first golden triangle except that it had two layers were runic text between the two layers. [NOW!] The magic circle rose up through Vergil, turning all of the silver outlines on his armour, bodysuit and robe into golden outlines.

Now that Vergil was in his Demon Style, the Space Katana transformed back into the Space Sheath. Vergil slotted the Yamato Katana back into the Space Sheath which then transformed. It gained a golden blade on the outside of it transforming into the Space Yamato Katana.

Vergil pressed the first button on the Space Yamato Katana. [ONE!] Then he ran to meet the Death Knight Phantom’s charge with one of his own. [KATANA STRIKE! NOW!] Vergil slashed the Death Knight Phantom’s shield three times, quickly making it crack and then fall to pieces.

Vergil ran his glove up the back of the Yamato Space Katana. [YES! KATANA STRIKE!] Golden energy ran up the weapon and twisted around it covering the Space Yamato Katana. [UNDERSTAND?!] Vergil jumped back a pace and then unleashed a single heavy slash on the Death Knight Phantom, then a downwards horizontal slash. “Divorce!” he roared as he slammed the Space Yamato Katana down, cutting the Death Knight Phantom in half and making it explode.

“Ok! Lets go!” shouted Vergil when no more Phantoms appeared.

Just as Vergil and Dante got into another argument about Kate, Symbol blacked out. 


Unknown place:


Symbol opened her visors and looked around before slamming them shut again as a bright, blinding light blasted into her vision.  “Where the heck am I now?!” shouted Symbol. As the light cleared she was able to see that she was inside what looked like a living room. “Wait a minute!” a well dress man was sitting at on the sofa but no matter which way she looked at his face she could only just make out the outlines. “Dad?”

“Sunset if your hearing this message then it means the time has come for me to release the seal,” explained Sparda.

Symbol tilted her helmet to the side. “Seal?” 

The message continued. “When you first arrived you had a form that you called Prototype Style, along with four sub styles and your active style, which was your most powerful form at the time. During your time with us you gained three more styles. But the Prototype Style had an extra power and that was to combine sub styles. You could mixing and match them at will, with few limits.”

“Whoa,” gasped Symbol, that would have been seriously useful.

“One day, you were tricked by Dante to try and combine sub styles while in your most powerful style. You screamed in pain the second you transformed and passed out. The only way that your mother and I could stop your own powers from killing you was to seal the Prototype Style and the combiner powers away. For this I am sorry,” Sparda apologised to his daughter.

“I want to be mad at him, but I can’t be if he did it to save my life,” growled Symbol.

“Now that you have regained your Advance Style and completed your four normal styles I can undo the seal and with it will come new power. That power is the ability to enter and exit the Slip Dimension at will. I can only hope to one day be forgive for the harsh life that will come with being my Daughter. Know that I could not be more proud of you,” finished Sparda.

“I already have, thanks dad,” whispered Symbol as the vision faded to white.


Slip Dimension


Symbol opened her visors as saw something that horrified her. Kate was on the ground being beaten by SWAT thugs as Dante held her hand from the Slip Dimension. “KATE!” screamed Symbol.

“Where the hell have you been?!” shouted Dante.

“Sorry, but this might make up for it!” Symbol channelled her new power into her visors as they started to glow silver before in a bright flash of silver light, she vanished from the Slip Dimension and into the real world.

Dante stared. “HOW THE-?! WHAT THE-?!” he shouted in shock.


Real world


“Where the hell did you come from?!” shouted one of the SWAT thugs as Symbol finished materialising.

“Get down on the ground!” shouted another.

Symbol blurred in front of them and grabbed one of them by the neck before throwing him into another.

One of the SWAT officers opened fire on her, only for the bullets to bounce off her armour. “WHAT THE HELL! GET AWAY FROM ME YOU MONSTER!” he screamed in fright at this happening.

“Monster?! Me?! YOUR THE PEOPLE WHO JUST KILLED OVER FIFTY PEOPLE!” shouted Symbol in fury.

“T-T-They were just terrorists!” stammered out the SWAT thug.

“IT’S STILL HUMAN LIFE! WHICH IS WHY I HAVEN’T KILLED ANY OF YOU DESPITE BEING WELL WITHIN MY RIGHTS TOO!” Symbol pulled back her fist and punched him into the ground.

At that moment several more members of SWAT ran into the room and pointed their guns at Symbol.

Her visors narrowed. 


In the Slip Dimension


Dante winced as Symbol lunged at the SWAT officers he almost felt sorry for them.

Almost.

“What’s the hold up?” shouted Vergil as he ran back in and stared. “Er Dante?” he asked.

“Yes?” asked Dante not taking his visors off the beat down.

“Arm doesn’t bend that way! Arm doesn’t bend that way!” 

*SNAP*

“Now it does!”

“How did Sunset get out of the Slip Dimension?” asked Vergil.

“Not the face! Not the face!”

*WHAM!*

“Yes the face!”

“No clue!” replied Dante.

“Give me back my gun!”

“Ok!” 

*SHOVE!*

“Not there!” 

Symbol turned away from the broken bodies of the SWAT officers. “Go! I’ll meet you on one of the roofs outside!” she picked up Kate and ran out the door.

“Now can we go?” asked Vergil.

“Sure!” replied Dante. He no longer had an argument as Kate was safe.

There was no way SWAT could get to her now that she was with his sister.

At that moment the place started to explode!

Now Dante really didn’t have an argument.

“Quick! Get in!” shouted Vergil as they ran to a magic circle that was painted on the floor and appeared back in the real world.


Rooftops


“Do you think she’s going a little overboard?” asked Dante as he sidestepped a police officer that had just been thrown over a building.

“They killed all the friends I’ve made in the last several years, so no,” deadpanned Vergil. He watched as his sister picked up a SWAT van and used to to bat another SWAT van into the side of a house.

“You had your fun?” asked Dante as Symbol joined them.

Symbol transformed back into Sunset. “I feel so much better now,” she replied with a big grin on her face.

“Then come on you two. This isn’t over yet,” stated Vergil as they ran off.
> S1E14 Phantom Daliance
> --------------------------------------------------------------------------

A computer monitor showed Kate’s beaten and bruised form.

Sunset growled when she saw this and stormed out of the room.

Dante snarl.

Vergil, had better control of his emotions than his siblings and remained stone faced.

“Say the name,” ordered a voice from off-screen.

Kate remained tight-lipped, a groan of pain was the only sound she made.

“Say, the name,” ordered the voice a second time.

“Vergil,” whispered out the young girl.

Wiseman’s human formed walked onto the screen and patted Kate on the cheek. “Vergil. I don’t know who you are, or why you have been stupid enough to attack me,” he grabbed Kate’s head. “But I know that you mean something to this girl, so I suspect, this girl means something to you,” letting go of her head he knelt down next to Kate. “I also know that you are collaborating with the Kamen Riders,” he looked at the camera. “I want the Kamen Riders. You want the girl. We trade their lives.” 

The camera moved out to show Dante and Vergil, neither wearing their coats, watching the video on a laptop. “Interesting,” muttered Vergil.

Dante turned to his brother. “Interesting?” he demanded

Vergil got up. “Wiseman knows less than I thought. He knows my name, but that's it; not that I am your brother, nor that I am a Kamen Rider.”

“She must be strong to hold out,” stated Dante. “What I don’t understand is how Kate is there! She’s sleeping in the other room!” questioned Dante.

“Most likely an illusion or a clone of some kind,” replied Vergil. “Wiseman probably thought that Kate had been killed in the HQ when it exploded and rightly guessed that there was a connection between you and her from the cameras.”

“So that was just an illusion to trick us into thinking Kate was alive? When was wasn’t even dead in the first place?” questioned Dante.

“Exactly,” replied Vergil.

“Thank shit!” muttered Dante in relief.

Vergil was also relieved that his girlfriend was not being tortured by the heartless Phantom that killed his parents.

“Not quite,” the two brothers turned and saw their sister entering the room through a door that lead to the room Kate was in.

“What do you mean?” they both asked at the same time. 

“About an hour ago Kate started convulsing in pain. After finding nothing physically wrong I scanned her magically. Her life force was being drained,” explained Sunset.

Vergil paled.

Dante swore under his breath.

“I was able to stop it, but not much had been drained. She has about a year left and is not likely to wake up for that year. After hearing that message, I can guess that Wiseman used a Phantom ritual with Kate’s blood from the gun wound to drain her life force and make it into that clone,” explained Sunset with great sorrow that she and Dante were about to lose a friend while Vergil was going to lose his girlfriend.

“We have to get it back,” stated Dante.

“We can’t save her,” protested Vergil.

“What do you mean?” demanded Dante.

“You can’t seriously think that I would trade both of your lives for her’s?” Vergil demanded of his siblings.

“No, I’m not saying-” began Dante.

Vergil cut his brother off. “Apart from the fact that you're my brother and sister. There is no way that I could ever beat Wiseman on my own!”

“I’m not saying we trade us for her. I’m saying we offer another trade: Kate for Wiseman mistress, Lilith,” explained Dante.

Vergil rolled his eyes. “Why would Wiseman care about one of his traitors who sold out her home planet for a position of power?”

“Because she carries his child,” replied Sunset.

Vergil looked at her in shock. “What? How can you know this?”

“While we were at the tower. We met a Phantom who had broke away from the hive mind named Phineas. He was a prisoner and said he could get us to the tower. Since Bob made the bridge collapse we didn’t have a choice but to get him his all-seeing eye. He told us,” explained Sunset.

“She also happens to run a club that I’ve been to several times in the past,” added Dante as he picked up the Revenant Shotgun. Not being a devil or angel arm he had to physically carry this weapon.

“Yes, I’ve heard of him. This is amazing! We have access to Wiseman’s unborn child? This is exactly what we need to get him out of his lair!” explained Vergil.

Before Dante could start shouting at his brother Symbol cut in. “Vergil even if we did that then Wiseman would just pull us into the Slip Dimension. If we hold her hostage then he’ll likely panic and give Kate back.”

After several seconds Vergil sighed. “How do you do it? How do you get me to do what's right, making our lives harder but still knowing that I did the right thing?”

“It's a gift,” replied Sunset. 

“Ok, we’ll do it your way, brother, sister,” replied Vergil. “But I’m coming with you.”

“What? Why?!” demanded Dante.

“Two reasons,” replied Vergil calmly. “One from what I remember of our childhood, you two do not know the meaning of holding back and have hair trigger tempers you are likely to kill Lilith if she says the wrong thing.”

Sunset looked away, blushing at the truth.

“And the other reason?” asked Dante.

“I should not have been so rude about leaving Kate. I owe her an apology. This way I can at least try to make up for it.”

“Won’t that ruin your plan of Wiseman not knowing about you?” asked Sunset.

“No, the Phantom’s guarding Lilith we likely be under her command and her pregnancy will have disrupt the hive mind with Wiseman,” explained Vergil.

“I’ve got no complaints,” stated Dante.

“Me neither,” replied Sunset. “The more of us there are, the less Phantoms we’ll each have to fight.”


1 Hour Later


Vergil was on a computer and had just finished hacking. “There it is. Wiseman’s mistress, Lilith, runs an exclusive club for downtown high society. Sports personalities, rich kids, bankers, that kind of thing,” explained Vergil.

“How’d you get in?” Sunset questioned Dante.

“I’m also wondering that,” added Vergil

“It was the club that I visited the night before Kate and the Phantoms found me,” explained Dante.

Both his brother and sister went. “Ah.” 

He got the feeling he wouldn’t be living this down anytime soon.

The screen showed and bouncer turning a man away and Vergil got back to his explanation. “Phantom substance flows freely. She hooks the pathetic weasels on the stuff turning the males into hive mind Phantom collaborators and the females into breeding machines.”

Sunset shivered.

“She’ll be there tonight,” explained Vergil.

“The sooner we get this done the better,” agreed Dante.


Later:


Dante, Vergil and Sunset walked towards the club, they tried to push past the bouncer. 

But he stopped them. “Woah! You're not coming in. None of you three are on the list,” he sneered at them.

Big mistake.

Not one of them was in the mood for games, he got a straight right from Dante and a straight left at the same time from Sunset, before receiving an uppercut from Vergil, knocking him out.

His clipboard was flung into the air, which Dante caught and wrote on it with the bouncer’s pen. “We are now.” They walked in and the clipboard had ‘fuck you’ written on it.

“Was that really called for?” asked Vergil.

Dante shrugged.

Sunset punched him in the shoulder.

The club was a multi-story place with several balconies, Lilith was standing on one and several dancers were on stages.

Dante was completely in his element, while both Sunset and Vergil looked out of place here.

One of the dancers dressed up as an angel came up behind them. “Hey, Dante! Wanna dance? Longtime sweetie, C’mon!” 

Dance pushed past her. 

“Hey! Wait a minute, don’t ignore me! Let's dance!” shouted the Dancer she was starting to get a bit angry. 

“Sorry about this but I and my brother are meeting someone,” apologised Sunset.

“Oh! That's ok- Wait a minute! Since when did Dante have a sister?!” shouted the Dancer in shock.

“Long lost sister, sorry about this but we’ve gotta go!” Sunset ran off when she saw her brother hadn’t slowed down a bit.

“Ok, SEE YOU DANTE!” shouted the girl.

“Dante,” whispered one of the men at a table as his eyes started bleeding black blood.

The spotlights shone on two of the Kamen Riders. 

“Dante and Sunset are here?” questioned the female Phantom. “The son and daughter of Sparda. Both of who Wiseman wants dead,” she pulled them into Slip Dimension. “Wiseman will be delighted with me when I bring him their corpses,” looking down at her belly she mused aloud. “What do you think little one? Should we play with them a bit first?” her waist seemed to expand then retract. “Yes, lets,” she hissed. “I’m not sure why that human was pulled in as well, but the more the merrier!”

“You wanna dance?” demanded Dante as Phantoms burst from the ground.

“Let's dance!” shouted Sunset.

“Dante! Sunset! Guest! Son and daughter of Sparda. We don’t normally let the feral rats in here, but I’ve been hearing so much about the two of you!” shouted Lilith.

“Who are you calling a feral rat?!” demanded Sunset. She scanned her Driver On Ring over her belt’s buckle. [DRIVER ON!] A magic circle appeared over her belt and caused it to transform into her Wizard Driver. [PLEASE!] She pressed the left Shift Lever making the Wizard Driver’s Hand Author turn to the left. [MAGICAL TOUCH HENSHIN!] She held up her left hand. “HENSHIN!” Sunset scanned the Active Ring across the Wizard Driver’s Hand Author. [ACTIVE PLEASE!] She held her left glove out to the side and the active magic circle appeared before passing over her. [LET’S GO!] Transforming Sunset Shimmer Sparda into Kamen Rider Symbol.

“Let’s kick this bitches ass! HENSHIN!” shouted Dante as he held his Driver On Ring over his belt’s buckle. [DRIVER ON!] The magic circle appeared in front of Dante’s belt buckle and transformed it into his Driver. Dante punched the Nephilim Ring into his Driver’s left slot. [SET!] Dante turned his wrist forwards, making his Driver’s gate spring open. [OPEN!] The nephilim magic circle appeared from Dante’s Driver and moved back through him. [N-E-P-H-I-L-I-M!] Transforming Dante into Kamen Rider Dante Nephilim Style.

Vergil held his own Driver On Ring over his belt buckle. [DRIVER ON!] A magic circle appeared in front of Vergil’s belt buckle, transforming it into his Wizard Driver.

Lilith’s eyes went wide. “It can’t be!” she whispered.

Vergil pressed down on his Wizard Driver’s left Shift Lever, turning it’s Hand Author to the left. “Henshin!” whispered Vergil as he held his Nephilim Ring over his Wizard Driver’s Hand Author. [NEPHILIM!] The nephilim magic circle appeared in front of Vergil and moved back through him. [NOW!] Transforming Vergil into Kamen Rider Vergil Nephilim Style.

“Well, well!” chuckled Lilith. “So Sparda and Eva had three kids, not two. Won’t Wiseman be shocked when I tell him this? Or better yet turn up at his office with your worthless carcasses!” laughed Lilith. 

Dante ran towards a Lesser Blade Phantom as he drew the Rebellion Blade. He punched the Nephilim Ring into the slot at the base of its handle. [THREE!] The mouth opened to reveal three light blue and blood red circles. [NEPHILIM SABER STRIKE!] Dante unleashed a horizontal slash on one Lesser Blade Phantom, an across slash on a second one and a downwards slash on a third Lesser Blade Phantom, stunning each of them so they could not attack.

Dante pressed down on the Rebellion Blade’s trigger. [NEPHILIM SABER STRIKE!] Light blue and blood red energy ran up the Rebellion Blade. “Hacker!” shouted Dante as the eyes flashed and he unleashed three slashes making sparks come from the three Lesser Blade Phantoms before each of them exploded.

Dante jumped back as a bomb slammed into the ground where he had just been standing and then rolled away from a Blade Phantom’s sword. He punched the Nephilim Ring into the slot at the base of the Rebellion Blade’s handle. [ONE!] The mouth slammed shut before opening again to reveal a single light blue and blood red dot. [NEPHILIM SABER STRIKE!] Dante slashed upwards, sending the Blade Phantom shooting into the air from the force of the Rebellion Blade.

Dante quickly drew the Revenant Shotgun and pulled it open before punching the Nephilim Ring into its left slot. [NEPHILIM!] Dante slammed the barrel closed as he rolled away from another bomb thrown at him by a Valkyrie Phantom. [HALF CHARGE!] Dante took aim and fired a single bullet of black magical energy that slammed into the Valkyrie Phantom and caused it to explode.

Dante jumped into the air as a Lesser Blade Phantom passed under him. He pressed the Nephilim Ring into the bottom of the Rebellion Blade’s handle again. [ONE!] The mouth closed, before opening again to reveal a single light blue and blood red circle. [NEPHILIM SABER STRIKE!] Dante came shooting back down with an overhead slash that drew sparks from the Lesser Blade Phantom. 

While the Phantom was stunned, Dante jumped back into the air and pressed down on the Rebellion Blade’s trigger. [NEPHILIM SABER STRIKE!] The blade’s eyes flashed as it was covered in red and blue magical energy. “Helm Breaker!” roared Dante as he went shooting down and slashed the Lesser Blade Phantom in half before both halves exploded.

Suddenly, Dante was forced to throw himself to the side as a Peryton Phantom fired a lightning bolt at him from the sky. “That was close!” he muttered as he jumped into the air, getting level with the Peryton Phantom and punching the Nephilim Ring into the slot at the base of the Rebellion Blade’s handle. [FOUR!] The mouth opened and reveal four light blue and blood red circles. [NEPHILIM SABER STRIKE!] Dante slashed the Peryton Phantom four times with his sword making sparks fly from its body before it forced Dante back with a blast of lightning.

Dante landed back on the ground and drew Ebony. He punched the Nephilim Ring into the back of its hammer. [NEPHILIM!] A ring over light blue magical energy, a ring of blood red magic and a ring of black magic energy were pulled into the pitch black hand cannon. [EBONY STRIKE!] Dante took aim and fired a spread of beams that slammed into the Peryton Phantom and caused it to explode.

Suddenly a Rage Phantom burst from the ground and slashed at Dante with a pair of glowing red claws. “ARGH!” shouted Dante as sparks exploded from his chestplate. He jumped back and pressed the Nephilim Ring into the slot at the bottom of the Rebellion Blade’s handle again. [TWO!] The mouth slammed closed then opened again to reveal a pair of light blue and blood red circles. [NEPHILIM SABER STRIKE!] Dante spun around, slashing the Phantom several times, only to stare in shock as it transformed in blue mist, passing through his sword.

The mist transformed back into the Rage Phantom as it slashed Dante across the chest plate with a pair of glowing claws. “ARGH!” shouted Dante as sparks flew from his chest plate. He staggered back as he switched the Nephilim Ring for the Osiris Ring and punched it into his Driver’s left slot. [SET!] Dante turned his wrist back, then forwards making his Driver’s door slam closed before snapping open again. [OPEN!] The osiris magic circle appeared from Dante’s Driver and moved back through him. [O-S-I-R-I-S!] Transforming Dante into the Osiris Style. He jumped back, using the light blue wind to carry himself further back as he punched the Osiris Ring into the slot at the base of the Osiris Scythe’s handle. [TWO!] The dice appeared and spun twice before stopping on a two. [SCYTHE STRIKE!] Dante spun the Osiris Scythe like a vertical propeller, just as the Rage Phantom reached him. Sparks exploded from its body as it was cut into by the Osiris Scythe multiple times each second.

Dante quickly punched the Osiris Ring into the left slot of his Driver and then twisted his wrist forwards. [KICK STRIKE GO!] He stopped spinning the Osiris Scythe and as the Rage Phantom fell to the ground he did a back flip kick that slammed his right boot into the Phantom’s stomach. Sparks flew as the Rage Phantom was sent flying backwards and smashed into a wall.

“So this thing can only be affected by angelic weapons?” questioned Dante. “Good to know!” he muttered as he pressed the Osiris Ring into the slot at the bottom of the Osiris Scythe’s handle. [FIVE!] The dice appeared and spun five times before stopping when it displayed five dots. [SCYTHE STRIKE!] Dante let light blue magical energy gather around the Osiris Scythe before he pressed down on its trigger. [SCYTHE STRIKE!] Light blue magical energy surged up the Osiris Scythe’s shaft and into its handle as Dante slashed three times. “Cleaver!” three crescents of light blue wind surged forwards and slammed into the Rage Phantom. They wrapped around it and made sparks come from its body as they continued to do damage to the Phantom until it exploded.

Dante had to jump back as a Ravager Phantom burst from the ground, set itself on fire and charged at him. Dante landed back on the ground and punched the Osiris Ring into the slot at the bottom of the Osiris Scythe’s handle. [THREE!] The dice appeared and spun, stopping on a three. [SCYTHE STRIKE!] Dante jumped back into the air as the Ravager Phantom charged at him again, before slashing it in the back with the Osiris Scythe as it passed under him. Sparks flew as the Ravager Phantom staggered around in pain from the attack.

Dante landed back on the ground as he punched the Osiris Ring into the slot at the bottom of the Osiris Scythe’s handle once more. [FOUR!] The dice spun and stopped when it had gain an extra number. [SCYTHE STRIKE!] Dante crouched under a horizontal slash from the Ravager Phantom. Light blue wind gathered around him before he jumped into the air while spinning. This action formed a tornado that pulled the Ravager Phantom into the air with sparks coming from its body as it was attacked by the light blue wind.

Dante quickly punched the Osiris Ring into the left slot of his Driver and twisted his wrist forwards. [KICK STRIKE GO!] Dante covered his right boot in light blue wind as he dashed forwards and booted the Rage in the face. It was sent flying backwards with sparks coming from its body until it exploded.

At that moment another Rage Phantom jumped out of the ground and lunged at Dante, only this one was red. ‘If the blue Rage Phantom could only be hurt by angelic weapons, then this one can only be harmed by demonic weapons!’ thought Dante as he punched the Eryx Ring into his Driver’s left slot. [SET!] He turned his wrist back, then forwards making his Driver’s door close and open. [OPEN!] The eryx magic circle appeared from Dante’s Driver and moved back through him. [E-R-Y-X!] Transforming Dante into the Eryx Style. He punched the Eryx Ring into the slot at the back of the right Eryx Gauntlet as the Red Rage Phantom set its claws on fire and lunged at him. [SIX!] The dice appeared and spun, stopping on a six. [FIST STRIKE!] Red magical energy covered the right Eryx Gauntlet as Dante lunged forwards, punching the Red Rage Phantom in the face, after dodging its claws. The Phantom was sent flying back with sparks coming from its body.

The Red Rage Phantom roared. “Come on!” shouted Dante as he pressed down on the trigger inside the left Eryx Gauntlet. [FIST STRIKE!] Red flames and red magical energy gathered around the right Eryx Gauntlet as Dante pulled his fist back. “Snake Eyes!” the Red Rage Phantom jumped into the air and started to spin. It came rocketing right into Dante’s fist, causing it to go up in an explosion.

“I’m dying to see what all the fuss is about!” shouted Lilith.

A Blade Phantom lunged at Symbol as she pressed the left Shift Lever once. [MAGICAL TOUCH GO!] Symbol leaned to the side, avoiding a slash as she scanned the Active Ring across the Wizard Driver’s Hand Author. [ACTIVE! C RANK SPELL!] Symbol covered her left glove in red lightning as she gave the Blade Phantom a palm strike to the face that sent it staggering back with red lightning rippling over its body.

Symbol drew the Active Blade, pulling on its thumb to open its Hand Author. [COME ON A SLASH SHAKE HANDS!] Symbol scanned the Active Ring across the Active Blade’s Hand Author. [ACTIVE! SLASH STRIKE!] Red lightning ran up the sharp side of the Active Blade. “Red Slash!” Symbol ran forwards and slashed the Blade Phantom in half. This made both halves explode after red lighting crackled across them for a second or two. 

Suddenly, a pair of Blade Phantoms pulled themselves out of the ground. Symbol slide the Slasher and Aqua Rings onto her right glove and hit the right Shift Lever. [MAGIC TOUCHIE HENSHIN!] Symbol scanned her right glove across the Wizard Driver’s Hand Author. [SLASHER AQUA PLEASE!] She held her right glove out to the side and the two magic circle appeared, passing over her and transforming Symbol into the Active Slasher Aqua Style. Symbol hit the right Shift Lever once as the two Blade Phantoms ran at her. [MAGIC TOUCHIE GO!] She scanned her right glove across the Wizard Driver’s Hand Author again. [SLASHER MAGIC PLEASE!] Red lightning covered both of the Slasher Tidal Claws and she blocked the Blade Phantoms sword. Symbol slashed both of them across the waists after throwing their swords off her claws. Red lightning sparked over their bodies as the two Blade Phantoms staggered backwards.

“Time to try out my new powers!” commented Symbol as she switched the Aqua Ring for the Defend Ring before pressing down on the right Shift Lever. [MAGIC TOUCHIE HENSHIN!] Symbol scanned her right glove across the Wizard Driver’s Hand Author. [SLASHER DEFEND PLEASE!] She held her right glove out to the side and the defend magic circle appeared. “Hope this works dad,” muttered Symbol as the magic circle moved through her. 

Her right shoulder pauldron turned grey with a pair of silver vertical rings wrapped around it while her left shoulder pauldron turned green with a golden spike coming out of it. A green arm band appeared on her upper arms with a golden spike coming from them. Her forearm guards turned green with grey outlines, coming from the back of them both was a grey kite shield with silver outlines, cutting through the centre of it was a silver line. The centre of her chest plate displayed a trio of green claws on the left and a silver kite shield on the right. 

This is Kamen Rider Symbol Active Slasher Defend Style and she was armed with the Slasher Defend Claws.

“Huh?” Symbol looked at the Slasher Defend Claws. “This is new!” she pressed the right Shift Lever once. [MAGIC TOUCHIE GO!] Then she scanned her right glove across the Wizard Driver’s Hand Author. [SLASHER MAGIC PLEASE!] Green magical energy covered both of the Slasher Defend Claws as Symbol jumped into the air and slashed down with them cutting through both of the Blade Phantoms. They staggered back with micro explosions coming from the glowing green lines that Symbol had just cut through the centre of them.

But they recovered faster than Symbol had thought and slashed at her. Symbol quickly hit the right Shift Lever twice. [MAGIC TOUCHIE GO!] She scanned her right glove across the Wizard Driver’s Hand Author. [DEFEND MAGIC PLEASE!] Symbol slammed both of the Slasher Defend Claws together, forming a barrier of grey magical energy that the Blade Phantom’s sword’s bounced off. 

“Finale!” shouted Symbol as she hit the right Shift Lever three times. [ERROR!] Symbol looked at the Wizard Driver in shock. “WHAT?!” sparks flew from her chest plate as the Blade Phantoms recovered and rammed their swords into Symbol, sending her stumbling back.

Symbol stumbled to one boot as she pressed the right Shift Lever four times. [ERROR!] Symbol looked at the Wizard Driver again. “What on earth is going on?!” she shouted in anger as she used the Slasher Defend Claws to block another swing from the Blade Phantoms.

“This is getting silly!” shouted Symbol as she hit the left Shift Lever four times. [MAGICAL TOUCH GO! VERY NICE!] “Thank goodness that still works!” shouted Symbol as she scanned her left glove across the Wizard Driver’s Hand Author. [ACTIVE! S RANK SPELL! THE BEST!] Symbol covered both of the Slasher Defend Claws in red magical energy before crossing her arms and then slashing across at the two Blade Phantoms making red lightning spark over their bodies until the both of them fell to their knees and were consumed by explosions.

“So for the adaption I lost a pair of moves?” questioned Symbol. “I should have known there would be a catch!” she snarled. Symbol looked to the sky and shouted. “That would have been nice to know sooner Dad!” 

She saw a Ravager Phantom jump out of the ground and charge at her. Symbol quickly hit the right Shift Lever twice. [MAGIC TOUCHIE GO!] She scanned her right glove across the Wizard Driver’s Hand Author as the Ravager Phantom set itself on fire. [DEFEND MAGIC PLEASE!] Symbol slammed both of the Slasher Defend Claws together, making a barrier of grey energy that stopped the Ravager Phantom cold. But the Ravager Phantom was relentless, it pressed its chainsaw against the barrier which started to crack.

Symbol jumped back. “I’ve got to hold you still!” she switched the Defend Ring for the Bind Ring and pressed the right Shift Lever. [MAGIC TOUCHIE HENSHIN!] Then Symbol scanned her right glove across the Wizard Driver’s Hand Author. [SLASHER BIND PLEASE!] Symbol held her right glove out to the side and the bind magic circle appeared before moving through her. 

Symbol kept her forearm guards and arm bands, only the forearm guards outlines turned orange. Symbol’s right shoulder pauldron turned green with a golden spike coming from it while her left shoulder pauldron turned orange with scale patterns. Her forearms turned orange while the armour on the back of her gloves turned green. The left logo on her chest plate remained the same while the right logo transformed into an orange chain. Coming from the back of her gloves was three claws and wrapped around her forearms were orange chains.

This is Kamen Rider Symbol in the Active Slasher Bind Style armed with the Slasher Restraint Claws. 

Symbol hit the right Shift Lever twice. [MAGIC TOUCHIE GO!] Then she scanned her right glove across the Wizard Driver’s Hand Author. [BIND MAGIC PLEASE!] Symbol slammed the Restraint Slasher Claws into the ground, out of which burst six orange chains with green claws tipping them. They stabbed into the Ravager Phantom causing it to become immobile.

“Time to finish this!” shouted Symbol as she hit the right Shift Lever once. [MAGIC TOUCHIE GO!] Then she aligned her right glove with the Wizard Driver’s Hand Author. [SLASHER MAGIC PLEASE!] Green magical energy covered the Slasher Restraint Claws as Symbol slashed down twice. This fired six waves of green magical energy that slammed into the Ravager Phantom, breaking it free of the chains as it went flying back with green lightning rippling across its body.

“Finale!” shouted Symbol as she hit the left Shift Lever four times making the Wizard Driver’s Hand Author flip to the left. [MAGICAL TOUCH GO! VERY NICE!] Symbol scanned her left glove across the Wizard Driver’s Hand Author. [ACTIVE! S RANK SPELL! THE BEST!] Red lightning crackled along the Slasher Restraint Claws as Symbol slammed them into the ground. “Slasher Crush!” she shouted as six orange energy chains that had red lightning rippling across them tore out to the ground and wrapped around the Ravager Phantom electrocuting it. Symbol pulled the Restraint Slasher Claws from the ground and charged forwards, she slashed the Ravager Phantom once across the chest with her left claw, before moving around behind it and slashing it across the back with her right claw. Micro explosions went off around the Ravager Phantom as it fell over and exploded.

“My what little devias you are,” chuckled Lilith. “Such a shame you all have to die!”

Symbol ignored her.

Vergil pressed the first button on the Space Sheath. [ONE!] He ran forwards as he drew the Yamato Katana from the Space Sheath. [KATANA STRIKE! NOW!] In the same motion as him drawing it Vergil slashed a Lesser Blade Phantom with with the Yamato Katana. He repeated the process with another pair of Lesser Blade Phantom, stunning all three of them for several seconds.

“You shall die,” spat out Vergil in an venomous monotone as he ran his left glove up the length of the Space Sheath. [YES! KATANA STRIKE!] The Yamato Katana, within the Space Sheath was charged with red and blue magical energy. [UNDERSTAND?!] Vergil ran forwards, drawing the Yamato Katana and slashing each of the Lesser Blade Phantoms once. “Slasher!” he whispered as he placed the Yamato Katana back into the Space Sheath. Red and blue lightning sparked over the Lesser Blade Phantoms as they fell over and exploded.

Vergil eased back slightly, avoiding a slash from a Blade Phantom as he pressed the third button on the Space Sheath. [THREE!] Vergil ran forwards towards the Blade Phantom as he started to draw the Yamato Katana from the Space Sheath. [KATANA STRIKE! NOW!] In a sudden movement he fully drew the Yamato Katana and slashed upwards, sending the Blade Phantom shooting into the air from the force behind the Yamato Katana with sparks coming from its body.

Vergil placed the Yamato Katana back into the Space Sheath and then slid his left glove up the Space Sheath. [YES! KATANA STRIKE!] Charging the Yamato Katana within it with red and blue magical energy. [UNDERSTAND?!] As the Blade Phantom came falling back to the ground. Vergil slashed upwards as he suddenly drew the Yamato Katana. “Upper Slash!” he whispered as the Blade Phantom fell either side of him, split in half. Lightning of both colours sparked between the two halves of the Blade Phantom as they hit the ground and exploded.

Then Vergil heard the sound of a chainsaw and looked over his shoulder to see a Ravager Phantom burst from the ground and charge at him. “Not bad,” Vergil would have smirked if he was in his human form. “But not good enough!” he pressed the third button on the Yamato Katana again. [THREE!] Then he darted forwards, pressing the left Shift Lever of his Wizard Driver once. [YES! KICK STRIKE!] Vergil scanned his Nephilim Ring across his Wizard Driver’s Hand Author. [UNDERSTAND!?] The Ravager Phantom swung at Vergil and missed as he vanished in a burst of blue smoke. [KATANA STRIKE! NOW!] The Ravager Phantom heard the Yamato Katana’s announcement from behind it but had no time to turn around as Vergil drew the sword and slashed upwards, firing the Phantom into the air.

Vergil quickly pressed his Wizard Driver’s left Shift Lever once. [YES! KICK STRIKE!] Then he scanned his left glove across his Wizard Driver’s Hand Author. [UNDERSTAND!?] Vergil vanished in a burst of blue smoke and appeared level with the Ravager Phantom while it was still in the air. He pressed the fourth button on the Space Sheath. [FOUR!] Vergil quickly drew the Yamato Katana from the Space Sheath. [KATANA STRIKE! NOW!] Vergil slashed the Ravager Phantom four times in quick succession with the Yamato Katana making sparks explode from its body.

As the Ravager Phantom fell back to the ground, Vergil pressed the fifth button on the Space Sheath. [FIVE!] Vergil drew the Yamato Katana before slamming it back into the Space Sheath. [KATANA STRIKE! NOW!] He slide his left glove up the Space Sheath, charging the Yamato Katana with it with light blue and blood red magical energy. [YES! KATANA STRIKE!] Vergil drew the Yamato Katana and went shooting downwards in a blue blur. [UNDERSTAND?!] He slammed the sword down on the Ravager Phantom, cutting a glowing red and blue line through it that sparked with lightning of the same colour. “Helm Breaker!” he whispered as the Ravager Phantom exploded.

Suddenly, there was a loud roar as a Death Knight Phantom burst from the ground. “You shall die!” spat Vergil as he pressed the sixth button on the Space Sheath. [SIX!] Vergil pulled the Yamato Katana about half way out of the Space Sheath. [KATANA STRIKE! NOW!] In a single movement he drew the Yamato Katana and then slashed thin air before sliding the Yamato Katana back into the Space Sheath, stopping just before clicking it home. “Judgment Cut!” whispered Vergil as he clicked the Yamato Katana home in the Space Sheath. For a second nothing happened, then the Death Knight Phantom was covered in a sphere as a strange noise was heard. Suddenly, the Death Knight Phantom was sliced to pieces by an uncountable number of slashes.

Vergil glanced around as a Hell Knight Phantom pulled itself out of the ground in a blast of fire. He switched his Nephilim Ring for his Demon Ring and pressed his Driver’s left Shift Lever before scanning his left glove across his Wizard Driver’s Hand Author. [DEMON!] Vergil held his left glove down to the ground, making his demon magic circle appear under his boots. [NOW!] It rose up through him, transforming Vergil into his Demon Style. Vergil pressed the first button on the Space Yamato Katana. [ONE!] The Hell Knight charged as Vergil pulled the Space Yamato Katana. [KATANA STRIKE! NOW!] In three smooth motions Vergil slashed the Hell Knight Phantom three times. It blocked with its shield only for it to break after the third slash.

Suddenly, Vergil was forced to jump back as the Hell Knight Phantom stabbed its sword into the ground. “Oh no!” Vergil jumped into the air, just as the ground around the Hell Knight Phantom burst into a blaze of flame. Vergil pressed the left Shift Lever of his Wizard Driver’s Hand Author once before scanning the Demon Ring across it. [YES! KICK STRIKE!] Vergil held out his left glove and a small red construct in the shape of a knife appeared over his right shoulder. [UNDERSTAND!?] With a slight gesture Vergil fired the knife construct forwards, it stabbed into the shoulder of the Hell Knight Phantom causing the Phantom to vanish and appear in the air with Vergil.

Vergil pressed the second button on the Space Yamato Katana. [TWO!] This time instead of drawing the Space Yamato Katana, Vergil charged the golden energy into his right boot. [KATANA STRIKE! NOW!] He went shooting down and smashed his boot into the Hell Knight Phantom, stopping his own descent and sending the Phantom shooting downwards where it slammed into the dance floor with enough force to crater it.

Vergil saw his opening to finish the Hell Knight Phantom and drew his left glove up the Space Yamato Katana. [YES! KATANA STRIKE!] The energy was pulled off the Space Yamato Katana and into Vergil’s right boot. [UNDERSTAND?!] Vergil went shooting down with his boot trailing golden magical energy behind him like a comet tail. “Killer Bee!” shouted Vergil as his boot made contact with the Hell Knight Phantom, driving it further into the ground with lightning that was golden in colour sparking over its body until the Phantom exploded.

Suddenly, Vergil dove to the side, but was too slow as his left boot was frozen solid in ice. “Shit!” he was slashed across the back, making sparks explode from his backplate as Vergil fell forwards, free from the ice. He managed to roll onto his back plate and use the Space Yamato Katana to block a slash from a Frost Knight Phantom. Vergil was forced to grip the Space Yamato Katana by the back of its blade with his left glove to stop the Frost Knight Phantom’s blade. Only to freeze as frost started to make its way along the Space Yamato Katana. “No you don’t!” Vergil pressed the left Shift Lever of his Wizard Driver three times and scanned his left glove across his Wizard Driver’s Hand Author. [YES! KICK STRIKE!] Six sword constructs of golden magical energy appeared behind Vergil. [UNDERSTAND!?] They shot forwards and slammed into the Frost Knight Phantom’s energy shield. The Phantom was sent staggering back, while no damage was done there was still a lot of force behind those swords.

Vergil changed the Demon Ring for the Angel Ring and pressed his Wizard Driver’s left Shift Lever before scanning his left glove across his Wizard Driver’s Hand Author. [ANGEL!] Vergil held his left glove into the air making the angel magic circle appear and fall through him. [NOW!] Transforming Vergil into the Angel Style. The Space Yamato Katana separated back into the Yamato Katana and the Space Sheath, the latter of which transformed into the Space Katana. Vergil pressed the third button on the Space Katana. [THREE!] He charged at the Frost Knight Phantom and slashed in a circle with both of his swords. [KATANA STRIKE! NOW!] A blast of silver energy shot out of them, launching both Vergil and the Frost Knight Phantom into the air with great force.

Vergil quickly fell back down to the ground and as the Frost Knight Phantom followed he pressed the sixth button on the Space Katana. [SIX!] Vergil slammed both the Space Katana and the Yamato Katana together at the hilts. [KATANA STRIKE! NOW!] He drew his left glove up along the both of them. [YES! KATANA STRIKE!] Silver energy covered the double bladed katana as the Frost Knight Phantom fell to the ground and Vergil charged past it in a blue blur. [UNDERSTAND?!] The Frost Knight Phantom was enveloped by a blueish-silver sphere. “Perfect Cut!” whispered Vergil as the Frost Knight Phantom was torn to pieces by hundreds of sword slashes.

“What brings you here?” asked Lilith. “The music? The champagne? The Sparklers? Or has this something to do with that scrawny little broke flower I wonder?” asked Lilith.

“I’m here for you Lilith so get the fuck down here!” shouted Dante.

Vergil was behind him stopping Symbol from shooting Lilith for that remark about Kate. “Now I’m really glad I came,” muttered Vergil as he got Symbol in a master lock, stopping her from reaching the Active Rifle.

“Well I would Dante. But how can I put this? Your beneath me,” mocked Lilith. As the place transformed once more so that Dante, Symbol and Vergil were now inside a pit. “Hello my beautiful creatures!” began Lilith.

“I get the feeling she’s not talking about us,” whispered Symbol.

“Your right about that,” replied Vergil. 

“Human and otherwise!” continued Lilith. “From night club, to fight club! We have a special event for you all tonight!”

The Phantoms arrived.

“So drink up, shoot up and take your bets!” finished Lilith.

Symbol saw a Tyrant Phantom appear. “I’ll take out the Tyrant Phantom! Keep the rest off me!” she ordered her brothers. 

“Roger that!” replied Vergil as he walked forwards.

“On it!” shouted Dante as he ran past his brother and sister.

Symbol switched the Active Ring for the Giga Ring and pressed her Wizard Driver’s left Shift Lever. [MAGICAL TOUCH HENSHIN!] Symbol scanned her left glove across her Wizard Driver’s Hand Author. [GIGA PLEASE!] She held her left glove down to the ground and the giga magic circle appeared before it rose up through her. [BREAK THROUGH!] Transforming Symbol into the Giga Style as the Tyrant Phantom set its fists on fire and charged at her. Symbol pressed the left Shift Lever twice. [MAGICAL TOUCH SPELL!] Then she aligned her left glove with the Wizard Driver’s Hand Author. [GIGA B RANK SPELL!] Green magical energy covered both of her arms as she crossed them over her helmet, stopping the Tyrant Phantoms punch but still being sent skidding back several feet from the force of the punch.

Symbol used the distance she had gained to press the left Shift Lever four times. [MAGICAL TOUCH GO! VERY NICE!] She scanned her left glove across the Wizard Driver’s Hand Author as the Tyrant Phantom burst into flames and charged once more. [GIGA! S RANK SPELL! THE BEST!] Symbol slammed both of her gloves into the ground, firing a pair of green energy lines through it, when the Tyrant Phantom reached them, they caused it to be thrown into the air.

“Lets see what my new powers in this form can do!” Symbol added the Punch and Drill Rings to her right glove. “Let’s start with something familiar!” Symbol hit the right Shift Lever. [MAGIC TOUCHIE HENSHIN!] She scanned her right glove across the Wizard Driver’s Hand Author. [PUNCH DRILL PLEASE!] Symbol held her right glove down to the ground, making the punch and drill magic circles appear, before rising up through her transforming her into the Giga Punch Drill Style. Symbol hit the right Shift Lever and jumped into the air. [MAGIC TOUCHIC GO!] She scanned her right glove across her Wizard Driver’s Hand Author. [PUNCH MAGIC PLEASE!] The drills on the knuckles of the right Punch Driller started to spin as it was wrapped in red flames. Symbol punched down and her fist slammed into the Tyrant Phantom’s head, making it fall to the ground with sparks coming from the impact point. 

The Tyrant Phantom gave a roar of rage as it got back up and charged at Symbol from behind. “No you don’t!” she hit the right Shift Lever twice more. [MAGIC TOUCHIC GO!] Symbol scanned her right glove across her Wizard Driver’s Hand Author. [DRILL MAGIC PLEASE!] She pulled back the left Punch Driller as the drills on her knuckles started to spin. Symbol slammed her fist into the ground as it was covered in purple magical energy. Out of the ground burst a wall of rocks that stopped the Tyrant Phantom in its tracks and caused it to stagger back, dizzy.

“Now to try something a little different!” Symbol switched the Drill Ring for the Quake Ring and pressed the right Shift Lever of her Wizard Driver. [MAGIC TOUCHIE HENSHIN!] Then she scanned her right glove across her Wizard Driver’s Hand Author. [PUNCH QUAKE PLEASE!] Symbol held her right glove down to the ground as the Tyrant Phantom started to break through the wall. The quake magic circle appeared under her boots and rose up through Symbol.

The armour on the top of her boots turned burnt orange, while her anklets turned into solid yellow metal. Her shin armour changed so that it was much thicker, burnt orange in colour and each piece of her knee armour turned into yellow diamonds shapes. Burnt orange armour appeared around her upper legs, while the left logo on her chest plate remained as a red fist, the right logo transformed into burnt orange crack logo with yellow outlines. Symbol’s shoulder pauldrons remained as a pair of red squares with silver outlines. The Punch Drillers vanished and morphed. Symbol’s upper arms gained red pads on the outside of them while her forearm armour turned red. Her bracelets morphed, turning into pure burnt orange metal, the armour on the back of her gloves turned burnt orange with a red circle on each of her knuckles the centre of which was coloured burnt orange. Wrapped around Symbol’s forearm, just before her bracelet, was a burnt orange circle of metal that looked like it could slide back up to just before her elbow thanks to a pair of burnt orange tracks in her forearm guards.

This is Kamen Rider Symbol, Giga Punch Quake Style armed with the Punch Impacts.

Symbol saw the Tyrant Phantom break through her wall and pressed her Wizard Driver’s right Shift Lever once. [MAGIC TOUCHIC GO!] Symbol scanned her right glove across her Wizard Driver’s Hand Author as the Tyrant Phantom approached her at high speed. [PUNCH MAGIC PLEASE!] Symbol pulled back her left glove and the circle on the Punch Impact pulled back along the track to reveal itself as a piston. Symbol punched forwards, sending a bolt of flame from the Punch Impact as the piston slammed itself forwards. The flame shot through the air and slammed into the Tyrant Phantoms face, exploding with enough force to flip the Tyrant Phantom over onto its back with smoke and sparks coming from the impact point.

The Tyrant Phantom got back to its feet and its anger was so great that it set itself on fire. “Your not going anywhere!” shouted Symbol as she hit the right Shift Lever twice. [MAGIC TOUCHIC GO!] The Tyrant Phantom charged as Symbol swiped her right glove across her Wizard Driver’s Hand Author. [QUAKE MAGIC PLEASE!] Symbol pulled back her right fist as the piston on the Punch Impact pulled back. She slammed her fist into the ground and caused it to shake so badly that the Tyrant Phantom lost all of its balance and then fell flat on its face.

“Time to end this!” shouted Symbol as she struck the left Shift Lever four times. [MAGICAL TOUCH GO! VERY NICE!] Symbol scanned her left glove across the Wizard Driver’s Hand Author as the Tyrant Phantom started to get back up. [GIGA! S RANK SPELL! THE BEST!] Symbol pulled back the right Punch Impact as its piston primed and slammed it into the ground. “Magma Blade!” out of the ground exploded a vertical blade of magma that slammed into the Tyrant Phantom and set off a massive explosion.

“I’d better go and help the others,” Symbol turned to walk away, when she was hit in the back and sent flying. “Argh!” sparks flew from her backplate as she flipped through the air and landed on her boots. She glared at the still alive Tyrant Phantoms. “This thing is much stronger than usual,” she glared at Lilith. “Wouldn’t have thought a female Phantom could have made normal Phantoms stronger!” muttered Symbol. She switched the Quake Ring for the Terra Ring and pressed the right Shift Lever. [MAGIC TOUCHIE HENSHIN!] Then she scanned her right glove across the Wizard Driver’s Hand Author. [PUNCH TERRA PLEASE!] Symbol held her right glove down to the ground and the terra magic circle appeared under her boots before rising up through her. 

Symbol’s boots were covered in black armour with her anklets transforming into solid silver metal. Her shin armour turned black and now looked like a pair of vertical tank treads while her knee armour turned into black pads, the extra armour on her upper legs vanished. The punch logo on the left side of Symbol’s chest plate remained the same while the quake logo on the right of her chest plate transformed into the terra logo in the shape of a black tank tread. Symbol’s shoulder armour remained the same as her forearm armour transformed. It turned red with black outlines, her bracelets turned into bracelets of solid silver metal. The armour on the back of her gloves turned into black metal and coming from her bracelets, on either side of her hands, was a pair of black tank treads. 

She was now Kamen Rider Symbol, Giga Punch Terra Style and she was armed with the Punch Cutters.

Symbol pressed the right Shift Lever once as the Tyrant Phantom set itself on fire. [MAGIC TOUCHIC GO!] She scanned her right glove across the Wizard Driver’s Hand Author. [PUNCH MAGIC PLEASE!] She blocked the Tyrant Phantoms fists with the Punch Cutters, making sparks fly from the Phantom’s fists as they were sliced into painfully.

The Tyrant Phantom staggered back in pain as Symbol pressed the right Shift Lever twice. [MAGIC TOUCHIC GO!] Symbol scanned her right glove across the Wizard Driver’s Hand Author. [TERRA MAGIC PLEASE!] She covered the Punch Cutters with black magical energy as she ran forwards, tearing them through the ground and into the Tyrant Phantom cutting sparks from its body.

“Finale!” shouted Symbol as she hit her Wizard Driver’s left Shift Lever four times. [MAGICAL TOUCH GO! VERY NICE!] Symbol scanned her left glove across her Wizard Driver’s Hand Author. [GIGA! S RANK SPELL! THE BEST!] Green magical energy ran through the Punch Cutters as Symbol ran forwards. They grew in size as Symbol slashed them both down. “Terra Ripper!” shouted Symbol as the Punch Cutters sliced into the Tyrant Phantom causing micro explosions to go off around its body before the Phantom exploded.

Vergil found himself surrounded by five Lesser Blade Phantoms. He responded to the threat by pressing down on the second button of the Space Katana. [TWO!] Vergil crouched as the Lesser Blade Phantom got ready to slash him. [KATANA STRIKE! NOW!] Then Vergil spun around, slashing each of the Lesser Blade Phantoms across the chest three times making sparks fly from their bodies.

Vergil slammed both the Space Katana and the Yamato Katana together at their hilts then he ran his left glove up and over them. [YES! KATANA STRIKE!] Silver magical energy covered both of the Katana’s. [UNDERSTAND?!] Vergil spun around, materialising a spinning energy circle around himself. “Flare!” Vergil whispered and the circle expanded in a flash, cutting through all five of the Lesser Blade Phantoms, silver lightning sparked over their bodies as they all exploded.

Vergil jumped back as a Valkyrie Phantom appeared in the air and threw a bomb at him. Vergil got out of the blast range, only to see a second bomb come flying at him. “There’s two?” he shouted as he pressed his Wizard Driver’s left Shift Lever once and scanned the Angel Ring across it. [YES! KICK STRIKE!] Vergil vanished in a burst of blue smoke as the bomb slammed into the ground where he had just been standing. [UNDERSTAND!?] The bomb exploded as Vergil appeared several feet outside the blast range.

Vergil pressed down on his Driver’s left Shift Lever once and scanned his Angel Ring across his Wizard Driver’s Hand Author. [YES! KICK STRIKE!] A silver dagger construct appeared over Vergil’s left shoulder before firing itself forwards as Vergil jumped into the air. [UNDERSTAND!?] Vergil got level with one of the Valkyrie Phantoms as the dagger thudded into its shoulder and flashed. In a bright silver light the Valkyrie Phantom was teleported in front of Vergil. He pressed the fifth button on the Space Katana. [FIVE!] Then Vergil started to slash at the Valkyrie Phantom with both of his Katana's. [KATANA STRIKE! NOW!] Sparks flew from the Phantom’s body as Vergil ended the combo in a single, powerful X slash.

“You shall die,” spat out Vergil in a venomous monotone as he slammed the Space Katana and the Yamato Katana together at the hilts, then he ran his left glove over the both of them. [YES! KATANA STRIKE!] Silver magical energy coated both of the blades as Vergil started slashing the Valkyrie Phantom with slashes that were so fast his arms blurred.  [UNDERSTAND?!] Vergil ended the combo by carving a silver X into the Valkyrie Phantom, sparks came from its body as the Valkyrie Phantom fell down to the ground and exploded in a ball of flame.

Vergil glared at the other Valkyrie Phantom as it threw a bomb at him. He pressed the left Shift Lever of his Wizard Driver once and scanned his Angel Ring across it. [YES! KICK STRIKE!] A silver dagger construct appeared over his left shoulder and shot forwards, piercing the Valkyrie Phantom in the shoulder and flashing silver. [UNDERSTAND!?] In that flash of silver light the Valkyrie Phantom was teleported in front of Vergil. It had just enough time to understand what was going on before its own bomb slammed into its back and exploded.

While the Phantom was stunned from being hit with its own weapon, Vergil separated his Katana’s and pressed the fifth button on the Space Katana. [FIVE!] Vergil focused silver magical energy into the Yamato Katana and Space Katana as the Valkyrie Phantom started to recover from the explosion. [KATANA STRIKE! NOW!] Vergil slashed down, firing a large sword of silver magical energy that slammed into the Valkyrie Phantom with a loud explosion.

Then Vergil slammed both the Yamato Katana and the Space Katana together at the hilts. He slid his left glove up them. [YES! KATANA STRIKE!] Silver magical energy covered both of the swords as Vergil swung them around twice. [UNDERSTAND?!] Vergil swung his two swords around, making an arc of silver magical energy, out of which shot a large silver sword that slammed into the Valkyrie Phantom and caused it to detonate in a large explosion.

Vergil landed back on the ground as a Blade Phantom came charging at him. Vergil pressed the fourth button on the Space Katana. [FOUR!] Just as the Blade Phantom was about to swing, Vergil spun around twice, using his sword’s momentum to pull both himself and the Blade Phantom up into the air. [KATANA STRIKE! NOW!] Sparks came from the Blade Phantom.

Vergil came back down as the Blade Phantom went shooting past him. Vergil pressed his Wizard Driver’s left Shift Lever twice and scanned the Angel Ring across his Wizard Driver’s Hand Author. [YES! KICK STRIKE!] A silver sword construct appeared over his shoulder and shot forwards. [UNDERSTAND!?] It slammed into the Phantom and made spark come from its body. 

Vergil turned away from that Blade Phantom as it was held in the air, juggled by his summon swords. He turned to the Rage Phantom that had just jumped out of the ground, this time it was a normal Rage Phantom. He pressed the first button on the Space Katana. [ONE!] Vergil dashed towards the Rage Phantom as it lit its claws on fire. [KATANA STRIKE! NOW!] He spun around five times, slashing the Rage Phantom in the chest several times with each sword on each spin. Sparks flew from the Rage Phantom as it roared in pain.

Vergil heard the Blade Phantom that he had been firing summoned swords at explode at last. ‘Good riddance!’ he mentally muttered as he pressed the third button on the Space Katana. [THREE!] Vergil charged silver magical energy into both the Space Sheath and the Yamato Katana as he ran towards the Rage Phantom. [KATANA STRIKE! NOW!] Only for the Rage Phantom to jump back and fire several quills at Vergil. He spun around twice, using both of his swords to deflect the quills before jumping into the air. Silver wind came from the Space Katana and the Yamato Katana, pulling the Rage Phantom from the floor and into the air. 

While they were in the air Vergil pressed the fourth button on the Space Katana. [FOUR!] He spun around twice, slashing the Rage Phantom several times with the two swords before ending on a downwards swing. [KATANA STRIKE! NOW!] Both Vergil and the Rage Phantom were pulled down to the ground by the two swords. The Rage Phantom was heavily injured by the Yamato Katana and the Space Katana cutting into its body harshly, damaging it.

Vergil jumped back into the air. “Die!” he spat as he slammed both the Space Katana and the Yamato Katana together at the hilts. [YES! KATANA STRIKE!] Vergil ran his left glove along both of the swords making them get covered in bright silver magical energy. [UNDERSTAND?!] Vergil spun around twice, building up speed before he went shooting down and slammed his sword into the ground, where the Rage Phantom had been half a second ago.

“Shit!” snapped Vergil. “I missed!” he pressed the left Shift Lever of his Wizard Driver three times then scanned the Angel Ring across it. [YES! KICK STRIKE!] Five swords made of silver magical energy appeared behind Vergil, pointed at the Rage Phantom.  [UNDERSTAND!?] Vergil swiped his glove and the swords vanished before appearing in a circle around the Rage Phantom. It jumped back but the summon swords followed it. “Sword Surround!” shouted Vergil as the circle of summon swords closed inwards, impaling the Phantom and causing it to explode.

Several five more Lesser Blade Phantom burst from the ground. “Not even worth the effort,” mocked Vergil as he pressed his Wizard Driver’s left Shift Lever twice. [YES! KICK STRIKE!] A sword made from silver magical energy appeared over his shoulder. [UNDERSTAND!?] It shot forwards, impaling one of the Lesser Blade Phantoms and causing it to explode. Vergil ducked under a pair of sword strikes from two more Lesser Blade Phantoms right before they were each impaled by another summon sword that caused them to explode. The final two Lesser Blade Phantoms met the same fate as the other three; impalement by a summon sword and exploding.

Dante used the right Eryx Gauntlet to block a slash from a Death Knight Phantom and punched the Eryx Ring into the slot at the back of it. [THREE!] Red magical energy gathered around the left Eryx Gauntlet. [FIST STRIKE!] He uppercutted the Death Knight Phantom, it was saved from being launched into the air by its shield shattering. It quickly slashed Dante across the chest plate drawing sparks from the long slash wound that quickly healed.

With a snarl of anger, Dante punched the Eryx Ring into the slot at the back of the right Eryx Gauntlet again. [THREE!] The red dice appeared and spun, stopping when it displayed three earth red dots. [FIST STRIKE!] Dante quickly uppercutted the Death Knight Phantom again. This time it had no shield to block with and was sent shooting into the air when Dante’s fist made contact with its jaw. 

Dante used the Eryx Gauntlets momentum to pull himself into the air with the Death Knight Phantom. He punched the Eryx Ring into the slot at the back of the right Eryx Gauntlet again. [FOUR!] The dice appeared and spun around four times, stopping to display a four. [FIST STRIKE!] Dante punched downwards, sending the Death Knight Phantom shooting back into the ground with enough force to put a crater in it.

Then Dante punched the Eryx Ring into the slot of the right Eryx Gauntlet again. [FIVE!] The dice appeared and spun until it stopped on a five. [FIST STRIKE!] Then Dante punched the Eryx Ring into his Driver’s left slot and turned his wrist forwards. [GO! KICK STRIKE!] Dante covered his right boot in red magical energy as he went shooting down and impacted the Death Knight Phantom with enough heat as well as enough force that it exploded.

Suddenly, a Hell Knight Phantom jumped out of the ground in an explosion of fire. Dante punched the Eryx Ring into the slot on the back of the right Eryx Gauntlet. [ONE!] The dice appeared and spun until it stopped when it displayed a one. [FIST STRIKE!] Dante blocked the Hell Knight Phantom’s sword with the right Eryx Gauntlet and punched its shield five times with the left Eryx Gauntlet, putting several cracks in the Hell Knight Phantom’s defence.

“What the hell?!” shouted Dante. “That should have shattered!” he pulled the trigger inside the left Eryx Gauntlet. [FIST STRIKE!] Red magical energy and fire covered Dante’s Eryx Gauntlets before it peeled off to form a pair of Eryx Gauntlet constructs. “Brawler!” shouted Dante as he unleashed three punches, the constructs following the movements of the original Eryx Gauntlets as more cracks spread through the Hell Knights Shield, this time shattering it. 

Suddenly, the Hell Knight Phantom slashed Dante across the chest plate, setting him on fire! “ARGH IT BURNS!” shouted Dante as he ran around like a headless chicken. He slammed the Eryx Ring into his Driver’s left slot and turned his wrist forwards. [GO! KICK STRIKE!] “That was so uncool!” shouted Dante as he let loose a surge of red magical energy from his body that put out the flames. The red magical energy was pulled into his right boot as he unleashed a trio of kicks to the Hell Knight Phantom. First was a spin kick, then a sidekick, followed by Dante jumping into the air and soccer kicking the Hell Knight Phantom in the face. The Phantom staggered back with sparks coming from its body.

“How is it not dead yet?!” shouted Dante as he drew Ebony and Ivory before holding down their triggers. Two rings of red magical energy were pulled into each of them, while a ring of white magical energy was pulled into Ivory and a ring of black magical energy was pulled into Ebony. [EBONY AND IVORY STRIKE!] Dante let go of the triggers, firing a pair of bullets that spiralled around each other, transforming into a pair of red fists. “Spinning Fists!” shouted Dante as they slammed into the Hell Knight Phantom. Sparks flew from the impact point as the constructs acted as a pair of drills that chipped away at the Hell Knight Phantom until it exploded.

A Frost Knight Phantom burst out of the ground. “Should have seen that coming,” muttered Dante as he changed the Eryx Ring for the Osiris Ring and punched it into his Driver’s left slot. [SET!] Dante turned his wrist back, then forwards making his Driver’s gate close and open. [OPEN!] The osiris magic circle appeared from Dante’s Driver and moved back through him. [O-S-I-R-I-S!] Transforming him into the Osiris Style. Dante drew the Osiris Scythe and punched the Osiris Ring into the slot at the base of the Osiris Scythe’s handle. [ONE!] The light blue dice appeared above the Osiris Scythe’s blade and spun around until it stopped on a one. [SCYTHE STRIKE!] Dante dashed forwards and slashed the Frost Knight Phantom as he spun around several times, but the Phantom was able to block all of the strikes with its energy shield.

Dante punched the Osiris Ring into his Driver’s left slot and turned his wrist forwards. [KICK STRIKE GO!] The light blue wind gathered around his right boot as Dante ran forwards and spun rapidly, giving the Frost Knight Phantom a barrage of spinning kicks to its energy shield, cracking it. 

Dante jumped back as the Frost Knight Phantom fired a wave of ice at him and pressed down on the Osiris Scythe’s trigger. [SCYTHE STRIKE!] Light blue energy raced up the Osiris Scythe’s shaft and into its blade, forming into a construct of a wing as Dante raced forwards. “Karma!” shouted Dante as the wind ejected its feathers. He spun around so fast that the Osiris Scythe looked like a circle of light blue light with the feathers adding five more circles. With the sound of shattering glass, the Frost Knight Phantom lost its energy shield.

“Now’s my chance to end this!” suddenly the Frost Knight Phantom blurred forwards and slashed Dante across the chest plate! “ARGH!” shouted Dante as sparks flew from the impact point, frost started to spread over his body. “No, not, like this!” he was just able to get the Osiris Ring into his Driver’s left slot and turn his wrist forwards as his arm froze over. [KICK STRIKE GO!] Light blue energy surged around his body as the Frost Knight Phantom moved in for the finishing blow. “Angel Boost!” Dante vanished in a blur as the ice broke, he appeared behind the Frost Knight Phantom and slashed it in the back with the Osiris Scythe. The Frost Knight Phantom spun around it slash him, but Dante vanished again and appeared to the Phantom’s left, slashing it once more. 

“Now’s my chance!” shouted Dante as he punched the Osiris Ring into the slot at the bottom of the Osiris Scythe’s handle. [THREE!] The dice appeared and spun until it stopped on a three. [SCYTHE STRIKE!] Dante spun the Osiris Scythe like a vertical propeller, sparks flew from the Frost Knight Phantom as it was picked up and thrown into the air from the wind that the Osiris Scythe was generating.

Dante quickly pressed down on the Osiris Scythe’s trigger. [b][SCYTHE STRIKE!] Light blue magical energy surged up the Osiris Scythe’s shaft and into its blade. Dante spun the Scythe like a vertical propeller again, using the wind that the Osiris Scythe was generating to throw the Phantom back into the air. “Prop!” then he spun the Osiris Scythe the other way, reversing the flow of the wind. “Shredder!” sparks flew from the Frost Knight Phantom as it was slammed into the ground by the light blue wind.

“How the hell are you still alive?!” shouted Dante as the Frost Knight Phantom got back up. He punched the Osiris Ring into his Driver’s left slot and turned his wrist forwards. [KICK STRIKE GO!] Light blue wind was pulled in and surrounded both of his boots. Dante ran forwards and ducked under a slash from the Frost Knight Phantom. He kicked it into the air with his right boot before kicking off the ground and shooting past it. “Prop!” shouted Dante as the Frost Knight Phantom got level with him. “Shredder!” bellowed Dante as a downwards kick sent the Frost Knight Phantom shooting back down to the ground with enough force to make another crater.

“It’s still not dead?!” shouted Dante in shock as the Frost Knight Phantom weakly staggered to its feet. With a roar of anger, Dante punched the Osiris Ring into the left slot of his Driver and turned his wrist forwards. [KICK STRIKE GO!] Dante was covered in light blue energy as he kicked against the air and went shooting down. “Angel Boost!” shouted Dante as he turned in the air and slammed his boot down on the Frost Knight Phantom’s head. 

With a loud *BOOM!* it exploded.

“You don’t know who you are dealing with, do you?!” shouted Dante at Lilith.

“I’m dying to find out,” replied Lilith. “Let’s change things up a little!” 

The place started to break apart as the platform Lilith was standing on moved away from them a little. “I’ve created this gauntlet run especially for you Dante, Sunset and whatever your name is,” she explained.

Vergil gained a tick mark on his helmet.

“We’re not here to play your games!” shouted out Dante.

“Oh?” replied Lilith. “Well this is my club and you play by my rules.”

With snarls and grumbles of frustration the three of them ran up a ramp and arrived on a ledge, just past an archway with a giant play button appearing under their boots.

Symbol looked at her brothers and shrugged as she switched the Terra Ring for the Drill Ring and pressed the right Shift Lever.  [MAGIC TOUCHIE HENSHIN!] Symbol scanned her right glove across her Wizard Driver’s Hand Author. [PUNCH DRILL PLEASE!] She held the Drill Ring down to the ground and the drill magic circle appeared under her boots before rising up through her. Symbol pressed the right Shift Lever once. [MAGIC TOUCHIC GO!] Then she scanned her right glove across the Wizard Driver’s Hand Author. [PUNCH MAGIC PLEASE!] She pulled back her right fist as red flames gathered around the right Punch Driller.

“Sunset no!” shouted Dante.

The drills on her right knuckles started to spin.

“It’s a trap!” shouted Vergil.

Symbol slammed her fist down onto the play button and a pathway of light extended in front of them. She looked at her brothers with a raised visor brow.

“Ok, so we were wrong,” admitted Vergil.

Symbol nodded

The three of them ran along the pathway.

“Welcome, to the Devil Has Talent!” shouted a voice out of nowhere.

“It’s quite simple you three,” explained Lilith as her face appeared in a disco ball. “Survive and you gain an audience with yours truly. Which basically means I get to gouge your brains out myself,” she chuckled. “Fail, the three of you and that wretched bitch of yours die!” she finished.

Vergil snarled.

The three siblings ran down a path that was marked with skulls, before jumping to across another platform. “Argh!” shouted Dante and Vergil as sparks flew from their bodies while red lightning crackled over them.

“What was that?!” shouted Dante.

“I don’t know!” yelled Vergil.

“Figure it out later!” ordered Symbol. “Let’s get off this platform before it happens again!” she shouted.

They jumped to another platform.

“ARGH!” shouted Symbol as the platform lit up with light blue energy sending light blue lightning crackling over her.

“So they say that you have both the power of the Phantoms and the Gem Maidens within you,” commented Lilith as if she was talking about the weather. “Let’s test that out shall we?”

Then Vergil realised what was going on. “Dante! Sunset! The red platforms can’t hurt us in our demon forms and the blue squares are unable to harm us in our angel forms!” he warned his siblings.

“That would explain why I was not hurt in my Giga Style,” muttered Symbol to herself in realisation.

“It does make sense,” added Dante.

Thanks to this knowledge they were able to reach a square-shaped platform with ease.

Lilith’s disco ball came up to them. “Let’s begin shall we?” was her rhetorical question. “Round one! Should be a cakewalk for the three of you!” with that the edges of the platform moved up, blocking the three Kamen Riders in the platform as the Phantoms arrived.

Vergil pressed the first button on the Space Katana. [ONE!] He ran forwards, towards a trio of Blade Phantoms, he spun around, slashing at each of them. [KATANA STRIKE! NOW!] Vergil appeared behind the Blade Phantoms as the delay on the damage was lifted and sparks came from where he had cut them.

Vergil slammed the Space Katana and the Yamato Katana together at the hilts. [YES! KATANA STRIKE!] He ran his right glove up the back of them both, charging them with silver magical energy. [UNDERSTAND?!] Blurred forwards and as he reached the Phantoms he spun, slashing all three of them across the waist, cutting a silver line into each of them. “Rapid Slash!” whispered Vergil as the Phantoms fell over and exploded.

Suddenly, a Death Knight Phantom burst from the ground, followed by two more of its kind. “This could be a challenge,” muttered Vergil as he switched the Angel Ring for the Demon Ring, pressed his Wizard Driver’s left Shift Lever and scanned his left glove across his Wizard Driver’s Hand Author. [DEMON!] Vergil held his left glove down to the ground, the demon magical circle appeared under his boots and rose up through him. [NOW!] Transforming Vergil into the Demon Style. The Space Katana transformed back into the Space Sheath. Vergil sheathed the Yamato Katana causing it to merge with the Space Sheath, transforming them into the Space Yamato Katana. Vergil jumped into the air as he pressed the third button on the Space Yamato Katana. [THREE!] Vergil covered his right boot in golden magical energy as he went shooting back down. [KATANA STRIKE! NOW!] Once of the Death Knight Phantoms blocked with its shield, only for the defence to explode, sending the Phantom staggering back as Vergil bounced off it.

Vergil blocked a slash from the second Death Knight Phantom and ducked under a slash from the third Death Knight Phantom before kicking it back. He back flipped away from the first Death Knight Phantom as it recovered and slashed at him, Vergil ran his left glove down to the back of the Space Yamato Katana. [YES! KATANA STRIKE!] The Space Yamato Katana was covered in golden magical energy. [UNDERSTAND?!] Vergil jumped into the air, avoiding another strike from the first Death Knight Phantom as the golden magical energy cover his right boot. Vergil went shooting down, slamming his boots into the Death Knight Phantoms sword, smashing straight through it and causing the Death Knight Phantom to stagger back and exploded.

Vergil was turned around and was slashed across the chest plate by the second Death Knight Phantom. Sparks flew from the cut as he staggered back into a slash by the third Death Knight Phantom. “Ow!” muttered Vergil as he pressed the fourth button on the Space Yamato Katana. [FOUR!] Vergil quickly slammed the tip of the Space Yamato Katana into the ground. [KATANA STRIKE! NOW!] An explosion of golden energy erupted around him and threw the second Death Knight Phantom up into the air, leaving the third Death Knight Phantom alone.

Vergil quickly deflected a slash from the third Death Knight Phantom with the Space Yamato Katana and then attempted to punch it in the face, only for the Phantom to block with its shield. “That defence has to go!” Vergil pressed the first button on the Space Yamato Katana. [ONE!] He used the Space Yamato Katana to block another slash as it was charging. [KATANA STRIKE! NOW!] Vergil slashed with an across slash, then a downwards diagonal slash and finished with a two handed downwards strike. The Death Knight Phantom block each of them with its shield only for said shield to crack in half after the last strike.

“You shall die!” growled out Vergil as he slide his left glove up the length of the Space Yamato Katana. [YES! KATANA STRIKE!] He used the Space Yamato Katana to block a downwards swing as it was covered in golden magical energy. [UNDERSTAND?!] Vergil knocked the Death Knight Phantom’s sword up and slashed it with an across slash. Then he used a downwards diagonal slash to cut a glowing golden line into the Death Knight Phantom. Vergil held the Space Yamato Katana up in both gloves before swinging it down to cut a glowing golden line into the Phantom. Sparks flew from its body as golden lightning crackled across all three cuts. Then the Death Knight Phantom fell over backwards and exploded.

Suddenly, Vergil was slashed across the back plate by the final Death Knight Phantom that had recovered by this time. But this time, it was fighting Vergil alone. Vergil quickly recovered and used the Space Yamato Katana to block a slash as he pressed down on its fourth button. [FOUR!] The Death Knight Phantom slashed at Vergil twice, but he was easily able to block both attacks as he stabbed the tip of the Space Yamato Katana into the ground. [KATANA STRIKE! NOW!] There was an explosion of golden energy as the Death Knight Phantom was fired into the air with Vergil jumping up after it.

Vergil got level with the Death Knight Phantom as its shield had shattered from taking a second explosion of golden magical energy. He pressed the fifth button on the Space Yamato Katana. [FIVE!] The Death Knight Phantom tried to slash at Vergil but was unable to hit him as it spiralled over and over in the air. [KATANA STRIKE! NOW!] Vergil slashed down, sending the Death Knight Phantom hurtling through the air and slamming back down into the ground with enough force to put a crater in it. 

Vergil saw his opening to finish the fight and scanned his left glove across the back of the Space Yamato Katana. [YES! KATANA STRIKE!] The Space Yamato Katana was covered in golden magical energy. [UNDERSTAND?!] Vergil went shooting down with a double handed overhead slash that he used to cut the Death Knight Phantom in half. Golden lightning came from the glowing golden crack that Vergil had carved into the Death Knight Phantom before it exploded.

Suddenly, sparks exploded from Vergil’s back plate as a Ravager Phantom burst from the ground, set itself on fire and slashed him across the back. “ARGH!” shouted Vergil in pain as he want sent flying. He bounced off the ground twice before flipping to his boots and sliding back. He was about to charge the Ravager Phantom, when the floor under his boots lit up with light blue skulls. “Oh no!” whispered Vergil as light blue lightning cracked over his body, paralysing him and letting the Ravager Phantom send him flying as it set itself on fire and charged, ramming its chainsaw into Vergil’s chest plate.

“Ok, now I’m pissed!” snarled out Vergil as he switched his Demon Ring for his Nephilim Ring, pressed his Wizard Driver’s left Shift Lever and scanned the Nephilim Ring across his Wizard Driver’s Hand Author. [NEPHILIM!] Vergil held his left glove out in front of him and the nephilim magic circle appeared before moving back through him. [NOW!] Transforming Vergil into the Nephilim Style. The Space Yamato Katana transformed back into the Yamato Katana and the Space Sheath as Vergil ran forwards, pressing the Space Sheath’s first button. [ONE!] Vergil drew the Yamato Katana from the Space Sheath as he leaned to the side, avoiding the Ravager Phantom’s chainsaw as it slashed at him. [KATANA STRIKE! NOW!] Vergil slashed the Phantom three times, making sparks come from its body as it swung its chainsaw again.

Not eager to get it by the thing, Vergil pressed the left Shift Lever of his Wizard Driver’s Hand Author and scanned the Nephilim Ring across it. [YES! KICK STRIKE!] Vergil vanished in a blast of blue magical energy, the Ravager Phantom looked around, confused as to where he had gone. [UNDERSTAND!?] Right as Vergil reappeared in the same spot he had just been in. ‘Why is it that none of these Phantoms ever think to look up?’ he mentally questioned. Vergil scanned his left glove up the Space Sheath. [YES! KATANA STRIKE!] Charging the Yamato Katana within it with light blue and blood red magical energy. [UNDERSTAND?!] The Ravager Phantom turned around, just in time to get a pair of slashes across its chest. Vergil spun around to finish the combo with a powerful cross slash, but the Ravager Phantom had recovered and used its chainsaw to block. Sparks flew as the chainsaw tried to cut through the Yamato Katana, but it just was not going to happen. “Slasher!” whispered Vergil as he vanished in a blast of dark blue smoke. Suddenly, the Ravager Phantom was slashed across the back and fell over as it exploded.

Dante switched the ring on his left middle finger for the Nephilim Ring and punched it into his Driver’s left slot. [SET!] He turned his wrist back, then forwards, making his Driver’s gate close and then open. [OPEN!] The nephilim magic circle appeared from Dante’s Driver and moved back through him. [N-E-P-H-I-L-I-M!] Transforming Dante into the Nephilim Style. He dodged back as a Tyrant Phantom lunged at him and held down on the Rebellion Blade’s trigger. [NEPHILIM SABER STRIKE!] Red and blue magical energy surged up the Rebellion Blade and covered it as Dante flipped the Rebellion Blade into a reverse handed grip. “Drive!” shouted Dante as he slashed with the Rebellion Blade, firing a crescent of raging blood red and light blue magical energy that impacted the Tyrant Phantom. It had set itself on fire and charged so it was staggered when the pressure behind the wave put out its flames.

“Time to do some real damage!” cheered Dante as he punched the Nephilim Ring into his Driver’s left slot and turned his wrist forwards. [GO! KICK STRIKE!] Red and blue magical energy wrapped around Dante’s right boot as he took up a kicking stance. “Overdrive!” shouted Dante as he kicked out twice, firing a pair of energy crescents that slammed into the Phantom in an X shape before throwing out a spin kick that fired another energy wave. This one made the other two detonate and sent the Tyrant Phantom flying back with a smoking chest.

Dante punched the Nephilim Ring into the slot at the base of the Rebellion Blade’s handle. [FIVE!] The mouth opened to reveal five light blue and blood red circles. [NEPHILIM SABER STRIKE!] Dante charged forwards with the Rebellion Blade in position for a stab attack. But the Tyrant Phantom recovered faster then he thought it would and backhanded Dante through the air.

Dante flipped through the air and landed on his boots with sparks coming from his body. “Ow!” he groaned. “That hurt!” Dante switched the Nephilim Ring for the Arbiter Ring and punched it into his Driver’s left slot. [SET!] Dante turned his wrist back, then forwards making his Driver’s gate close and open. [OPEN!] The arbiter magic circle appeared from Dante’s Driver and moved back through him. [A-R-B-I-T-E-R!] Transforming Dante into the Arbiter Style. He caught the Arbiter Axe as it appeared and punched the Arbiter Ring into the slot at the base of its handle. [TWO!] Dante spun the Arbiter Axe several times, as the Tyrant Phantom approached the earth red dice appeared, it spun before stopping on a flame red dot. [AXE STRIKE!] Then Dante swung the Arbiter Axe down, slamming it into the ground. From the impact point came two lines of red energy that smashed into the Tyrant Phantom, putting out its flames.

“Oh crap!” muttered Dante as the Tyrant Phantom slammed into him and sent the Kamen Rider flying through the air. He tumbled before managing to land on his boots as he pressed down on the Arbiter Axe’s trigger. [AXE STRIKE!] Red magical energy surged up the Arbiter Axe’s shaft and into its blade as Dante ducked under a swing from the Tyrant Phantom and slammed the Arbiter Axe into the ground. “Tremor!” a line of red energy tore through the ground, cracking it and sending the Tyrant Phantom flying into the air.

Dante switched out the Arbiter Ring for the Nephilim Ring and punched it into his Driver’s left slot again. [SET!] He turned his wrist back, then forwards, making his Driver’s gate close and open [OPEN!] The nephilim magic circle appeared from Dante’s Driver and moved back through the Kamen Rider. [N-E-P-H-I-L-I-M!] Transforming him into the Nephilim Style. Now in lighter armour, he jumped and was able to jump and get level with the still airborne Tyrant Phantom. He punch the Nephilim Ring into the slot at the base of the Rebellion Blade. [FOUR!] The mouth snapped open, displaying four light blue and blood red circles. [NEPHILIM SABER STRIKE!] Dante lashed out slashing the Tyrant Phantom across the back three times, making sparks fly. 

Then Dante punched the Nephilim Ring into the slot at the base of the Rebellion Blade’s handle once more. [SIX!] The mouth snapped open to reveal an extra light blue and blood red circle. [NEPHILIM SABER STRIKE!] Dante lashed out with a barrage of stabs at the back of the Tyrant Phantom, creating a shower of sparks as he completed several thousand stabs in the span of five seconds.

As the Tyrant Phantom started to fall back to the ground, Dante switched the Nephilim Ring for the Eryx Ring and punched it into his Driver’s left slot. [SET!] Dante turned his wrist back, then forwards making his Driver’s gate close and open again. [OPEN!] The eryx magic circle appeared from Dante’s Driver and moved back through him. [E-R-Y-X!] Transforming Dante into the Eryx Style. He punched the Eryx Ring into the slot at the back of the right Eryx Gauntlet. [FIVE!] The red holographic dice appeared and spun until it stopped on a five. [FIST STRIKE!] Dante went shooting down and slammed his right Eryx Gauntlet into the back of the Tyrant Phantom making sparks explode from the Phantom’s back.

The Tyrant Phantom gave a roar of rage and pain as it threw Dante off and belly flopped on top of him. “Argh!” shouted Dante as sparks flew from his body. The Tyrant Phantom got back up and pulled back for another attack. “That is it!” shouted Dante as he switched the Eryx Ring for the Devil Trigger Ring and punched it into his Driver’s left slot. [TRIGGER!] Dante turned his wrist back, then forwards making his Driver’s door close and open. [DEVIL GO!] The devil construct appeared and punched the Tyrant Phantom, knocking it back. The construct wrapped around Dante from behind and in a bright flash of red light it merged with him. [DE-DE-DE-DEVIL!] When the light faded, Dante was revealed in his Devil Trigger Style. Dante drew the Rebellion Magnum, Arbiter Mode and punched the Devil Trigger Ring into the back of it. [TWO! DEVIL!] The red holographic one appeared as three pulses of red magical energy were pulled into the Rebellion Magnum Arbiter Mode’s barrel. [MAGNUM STRIKE!] The Tyrant Phantom set itself on fire and charged at Dante, just as he fired a red orb of magical energy that slammed into it. At first nothing happened before the orb unleashed a pulse of red energy that threw the Tyrant Phantom back. A second pulse threw the Tyrant Phantom into the air, the third and final pulse slammed the Tyrant Phantom back into the ground.

Dante took aim as he punched the Devil Trigger Ring into the back of the Rebellion Magnum Arbiter Mode again. [FOUR! DEVIL!] The holographic red two transformed into a holographic red four. As the Tyrant Phantom started to get back up, red magical energy was pulled from the air into the barrel of the Rebellion Magnum Arbiter Mode. [MAGNUM STRIKE!] Dante took aim and fired another bolt of red magical energy that transformed into a spinning axe blade construct. It slammed into the Tyrant Phantom’s face, making it scream in pain as sparks were ground out of its face.

Dante quickly pulled the cylinder from the Rebellion Magnum Arbiter Mode and turned it making the image of the Arbiter Axe on the screen roll off to the left and an image of the Eryx Gauntlets replace it. Dante slammed the cylinder back into the Rebellion Magnum, making the bayonet vanish and the image of the Arbiter Axe on the side shift into the image of the Eryx Gauntlets. This is the Rebellion Magnum Eryx Mode. 

The Tyrant Phantom managed to recover and charged at Dante. He punched the Devil Trigger Ring into the back of the Rebellion Magnum Eryx Mode. [ONE! DEVIL!] A red holographic one appeared on the side of the Rebellion Magnum Eryx Mode. Dante held down the trigger as three rings of red magical energy were pulled into the Rebellion Magnum Eryx Mode’s barrel. The Tyrant Phantom burst into flame as it charged at Dante. [MAGNUM STRIKE!] He let go of the trigger and fired a shot of red magical energy that impacted the ground just in front of the Tyrant Phantom. The shot of magical energy transformed into a three pointed wall of the same energy that stopped the Tyrant Phantom’s charge.

Dante took aim and held down on the Rebellion Magnum Eryx Mode’s trigger. [DEVIL!] Ten rings of red magical energy appeared in the air and were pulled into the barrel of the Rebellion Magnum Eryx Mode. [MAGNUM STRIKE!] Dante let go of the trigger, firing a blast of red magical energy that flew through the air and slammed into the barrier. The Tyrant Phantom had been punching at the barrier for the last ten seconds, trying to get through it, when the centre spike of the barrier jerked forwards and impaled the Tyrant Phantom through the chest, causing it to stagger backwards and explode.

Dante switched the Devil Trigger Ring for the Nephilim Ring and punched it into his Driver’s left slot. [SET!] Dante turned his wrist back, then forwards, making his Driver’s door close and then open again. [OPEN!] The nephilim magic circle appeared from Dante’s Driver and moved back through him. [N-E-P-H-I-L-I-M!] Transforming Dante back into the Nephilim Style.

Symbol switched the Giga Ring for the Swift Ring as she used her left arm to block a slash from a Lesser Blade Phantom. She punched it in the face as she pressed the left Shift Lever. [MAGICAL TOUCH HENSHIN!] Symbol scanned her left glove across the Wizard Driver’s Hand Author as she punched the Lesser Blade Phantom in the face with the same motion. [SWIFT PLEASE!] Symbol held her left glove into the air, the swift magic circle appeared and fell through her, knocking the Lesser Blade Phantom back. [DASH AWAY!] This transformed Symbol into the Swift Style. 

She jumped back and kicked the Lesser Blade Phantom in the face as she pressed down on her Wizard Driver’s left Shift Lever. [MAGICAL TOUCH GO!] Symbol scanned her left glove across her Wizard Driver’s Hand Author as the Lesser Blade Phantom staggered backwards. [SWIFT! C RANK SPELL!] She swung her right arm out to the side and five orbs of magical energy appeared. They blurred forwards and slammed into the Lesser Blade Phantom causing it to go flying backwards with its body smoking.

Symbol quickly added the Wing and Sniper Rings to her right glove and hit the right Shift Lever. [MAGIC TOUCHIE HENSHIN!] Symbol scanned her right glove across the Wizard Driver’s Hand Author as the Phantom got back up. [WING SNIPER PLEASE!] Symbol held her right glove into the air as the two magic circles appeared before falling through her, knocking the Lesser Blade Phantom back. Symbol caught the Sniper Shooter as it appeared and pressed the right Shift Lever twice. [MAGIC TOUCHIE GO!] The Lesser Blade Phantom got back up and charged as Symbol scanned her right glove across her Wizard Driver’s Hand Author. [SNIPER MAGIC PLEASE!] Symbol peered down the Sniper Shooter’s scope and let the air out from her lungs. The Phantom was just about to reach her as the Sniper Shooter fired a glowing bullet that flew through the air and slammed into it. The bullet tore a hole through the Lesser Blade Phantom’s shoulder making sparks come from both the entrance and exit points.

Then Symbol pressed the left Shift Lever four times. [MAGICAL TOUCH GO! VERY NICE!] She scanned her left glove across her Wizard Driver’s Hand Author as the Lesser Blade Phantom struggled to get back up. [SWIFT! S RANK SPELL! THE BEST!] Symbol took aim as blue magical energy gathered around the barrel of the Sniper Shooter. “Sniper Sun!” shouted Symbol as she fired a thin beam of blue magical energy. It tore through the Lesser Blade Phantom and caused it to explode.

Suddenly, Symbol tensed her legs as she jumped into the air and spread the Flight Wings to stay airborne. An arrow soared through the space that her helmet had just been in. Symbol glanced over her shoulder pauldron and saw a pair of Icarus Phantoms flying in the air with their crossbows aimed at her. Symbol dove down, avoiding another pair of crossbow bolts as she switched the Sniper Ring for the Zoomer Ring. She soared back into the air, over another pair of crossbow bolts as she pressed the right Shift Lever. [MAGIC TOUCHIE HENSHIN!] Symbol flew back into the air as she scanned her right glove across her Wizard Driver’s Hand Author. [WING ZOOMER PLEASE!] Symbol held her right glove up into the air and the zoomer magic circle appeared, she flew through it, transforming into the new style. 

Symbol’s shoulder pauldrons stayed the same, as silver spheres with a silver blade that had red outlines in front of them. The left logo on her chest plate stayed as a pair of silver wings while the logo on the right side of her chest plate transformed into a trio of red speed lines. Symbol’s shin armour turned bright red with a red U around her knee armour and red armour on the top of her boots, coming from each side of her heels was a red spike. Her Flight Wings transformed, splitting in half so that there was now four of them, then they transformed into silver and red energy thrusters.

She was now Kamen Rider Symbol, Swift Wing Zoomer Style and was armed with the Speed Wings.

Symbol approached the Icarus Phantom at speeds that were much faster than her already impressive speeds in her Swift Wing Sniper Style. Symbol closed the distance, spiralling around a crossbow bolt as she hit her Wizard Driver’s right Shift Lever twice. [MAGIC TOUCHIE GO!] Symbol flew upwards, letting another crossbow bolt pass under her as she scanned her right glove across her Wizard Driver’s Hand Author. [ZOOMER MAGIC PLEASE!] She was instantly in front of the first Icarus Phantom and kicked it in the face. Then she did so again and again, all the while she was picking up speed until her boots were nothing but a blur. Then with one last kick she sent the Phantom crashing down and into the ground.

Then Symbol moved to the side as she avoided a crossbow bolt from the other Icarus Phantom, she pressed the right Shift Lever once as she charged towards the Phantom. [MAGIC TOUCHIE GO!] The second Icarus Phantom fired a bolt at Symbol as she scanned her right glove across her Wizard Driver’s Hand Author. [WING MAGIC PLEASE!] Just before the bolt could make contact Symbol vanished. The Icarus Phantom looked around, confused, until Symbol appeared behind it and with a roar she smashed her fist into its back, sending the Phantom shooting down to the ground, cratering it alongside its fellow Icarus Phantom.

Both of the Icarus Phantom started to rise back into the air as Symbol hit the left Shift Lever four times. [MAGICAL TOUCH GO! VERY NICE!] They both aimed their crossbows at Symbol as she scanned her left glove across her Wizard Driver’s Hand Author. [SWIFT! S RANK SPELL! THE BEST!] Symbol covered both her Speed Wings in yellow magical energy. “High Speed!” right before the crossbow bolts could hit her, she fired a blast of magic from all four of her Speed Wings. The first two slammed into the crossbow bolts and turned them to ash, while the second two slammed into the Icarus Phantoms. Sparks flew from their bodies as yellow lightning crackled over them until both of the Phantoms exploded.

Suddenly, a spinning red energy spear smashed into Symbol’s back. “ARGH!” shouted Symbol as the Speed Wings vanished and she fell to the ground with her back smoking. Symbol got back up and glared at the Wizard Phantom that had appeared. She switched the Zoomer Ring for the Blade Wing as she pressed down on her Wizard Driver’s right Shift Lever. [MAGIC TOUCHIE HENSHIN!] Symbol rolled to the side, avoiding a wave of earth that was fired at her by the Wizard Phantom, she scanned her right glove across her Wizard Driver’s Hand Author. [WING BLADE PLEASE!] Symbol held her right glove into the air and the blade magic circle appeared before falling down through her starting the transformation.

Symbol’s left shoulder pauldron remained as a silver orb with a silver blade in front of it that had red outlines. Her other shoulder pauldron transformed into a burnt red dome with silver outlines. The left logo on her chest plate stayed the same, while the right logo transformed into a red buzzsaw logo. Her upper arms gained burnt red armour on the outside of them with red straps to hold them in place. Finally, Symbol’s forearm armour turned burnt red, with three claws extending over her knuckles. Her wings turned solid again, only there were now six of them, they were burnt orange with silver outlines and looked more like dragon wings than bird wings.

She was now Kamen Rider Symbol Swift Wing Blade Style and she was armed with the Cutter Wings. 

Symbol slammed her glove down on the right Shift Lever twice as she glided along the ground to the right, avoiding another red spinning spear from the Wizard Phantom. [MAGIC TOUCHIE GO!] Symbol covered all six of her Cutter Wings in red magical energy as she rocketed forwards along the ground. The Cutter Wings were to heavy for her to fly, so she could only use them to boost her speed or glide a few inches over the ground. [BLADE MAGIC PLEASE!] Symbol quickly started to run around the Wizard Phantom, slashing at its shield with her cutter wings. Cracks spread through the shield, but right before it could shatter, the shield exploded. Symbol was sent flying backwards with sparks coming from her body. “ARGH!” shouted Symbol as yellow lightning crackled over her. “I forgot that Wizard Phantoms could do that!” 

Symbol got back to her boots and used the Cutter Wings to block a spinning spear as she pressed the left Shift lever down four times. [MAGICAL TOUCH GO! VERY NICE!] Symbol scanned her left glove across her Wizard Driver’s Hand Author as yellow magical energy surged up and around the Cutter Wings. [SWIFT! S RANK SPELL! THE BEST!] Symbol shot forwards and covered both of the Cutter Wings in yellow magical energy. “Wing Cutter!” shouted Symbol as she gave the Cutter Wings a strong flap, firing six yellow spinning energy crescents that shot through the air and slammed into the Wizard Phantom, causing it to explode.

The walls came down and another play button appeared on the ground.

Dante switched the Nephilim Ring for the Eryx Ring and punched it into his Driver’s left slot. [SET!] Dante turned his wrist back, then forwards, making his Driver’s gate close and open. [OPEN!] The eryx magic circle appeared from Dante’s Driver and moved back through him. [E-R-Y-X!] Transforming Dante into the Eryx Style. He jumped into the air as he punched the Eryx Ring into the right Eryx Gauntlets slot. [FIVE!] The dice appeared and spun until it stopped on a five. [FIST STRIKE!] Dante went shooting down and slammed the right Eryx Gauntlet onto the button, making a pathway of light appear.

“Congratulation,” mocked Lilith. “Your still in the running for becoming the Slip Dimension’s top fucking idiots. Now come a little closer!”

Vergil switched the Nephilim Ring for the Angel Ring, pressed down on his Driver’s left Shift Lever and scanned his left glove across his Wizard Driver’s Hand Author. [ANGEL!] He held his left glove into the air and the angel magic circle appeared. [NOW!] It fell through Vergil, transforming him into the Angel Style as he pressed the left Shift Lever once more and then scanned his left glove across his Wizard Driver’s Hand Author again. [YES! KICK STRIKE!] A dagger of silver magical energy appeared over Vergil’s shoulder. It shot forwards and slammed into the platform. [UNDERSTAND!?] Vergil vanished in a flash of silver magical energy and appeared on the platform.

Dante flipped onto the platform in his Angel Style with the Angel Lift held in one glove.

Symbol landed next to them in her Active Boost Bind Style, having jumped the distance with ease.

Lilith’s disco ball appeared once more. “Round two! How quick are you?” she rhymed. “You have thirty seconds to put an end to my miserable minions! Off we go!” 

“I’d stay in your speed forms for this if I were you guys,” commented Symbol as she switched the Wing and Blade Rings for the Turbo and Zoomer Rings. "And why did I get the image of a zebra in my helmet when she said that?" she muttered. Symbol pressed the right Shift Lever as she jumped back to avoid a slash from a Lesser Blade Phantom. [MAGIC TOUCHIE HENSHIN!] Symbol scanned her right glove across Wizard Driver’s Hand Author as she used the Swift Dagger to knock another Lesser Blade Phantom’s sword to the side. [TURBO ZOOMER PLEASE!] Symbol held her right glove into the air, the two magic circles appeared over her helmet and fell through her knocking five of the Lesser Blade Phantoms away from her as well as transforming her into the Swift Turbo Zoomer Style. Symbol jumped back as she avoided another slash from the first Lesser Blade Phantom which had recovered by this time and pressed the right Shift Lever once. [MAGIC TOUCHIE GO!] Symbol scanned her right glove across the Wizard Driver’s Hand Author as she sprinted towards the first Lesser Blade Phantom. [TURBO MAGIC PLEASE!] Symbol pulled back her left fist as the turbines on the Turbo Gauntlets started spinning. She slammed her fist into the Phantoms face, sending it flying through the air and into the second and third Lesser Blade Phantom, knocking all three over.

Symbol saw Lesser Blade Phantoms number, three, four and five closing in on her and used the Turbo Gauntlets to boost over them. Landing back on the ground she hit the left Shift Lever four times. [MAGICAL TOUCH GO! VERY NICE!] Symbol sprinted towards Lesser Blade Phantoms numbers one, two and three as she scanned her left glove across the Wizard Driver’s Hand Author. [SWIFT! S RANK SPELL! THE BEST!] Symbol covered her boots with red energy as she used the Turbo Gauntlets to boost herself forwards into a flying Rider Kick that made her look like nothing but a blur of red. “Zoomer Kick!” shouted Symbol as both of her boots made contact with the Phantoms. She kicked them over a hundred times in less than a second, causing them to explode.

Then Symbol tensed as she felt Lesser Blade Phantoms numbers three, four and five close in on her from behind. Symbol quickly pressed the right Shift Lever twice. [MAGIC TOUCHIE GO!] Then she scanned her right glove across her Wizard Driver’s Hand Author, just as the Phantoms were about to attack her. [ZOOMER MAGIC PLEASE!] The Zoomer Grieves glowed with red magical energy and from Symbol’s point of view it looked like everything had slowed down to a crawl. She walked forwards several steps and glanced over her shoulder, wincing. The three swords of the Lesser Blade Phantoms had been less than an inch from touching her back plate.

“That was a bit close,” muttered Symbol as she switched the Zoomer Ring for the Sniper Ring and pressed her Wizard Driver’s right Shift Lever. [MAGIC TOUCHIE HENSHIN!] Symbol scanned her right glove across her Wizard Driver’s Hand Author as the command wore off. [TURBO SNIPER PLEASE!] Symbol held her right glove into the air and the sniper magic circle appeared before falling through her, transforming Symbol into her new Swift Sub style.

Symbol’s left shoulder pauldron stayed brown and pointed outwards with dark brown outlines, while her other shoulder pauldron transformed into a light blue shoulder pauldron that curved downwards. Symbol’s right forearm turned blue, with her forearm armour on that arm also undergoing the same change. While this was happening, her right wristlet turned into a black ammo belt. Symbol’s left forearm stayed light blue with a light brown forearm guard and a dark brown wristlet. The Sniper Shooter appeared in Symbol’s glove and the Turbine Booster on her left forearm guard detached. It cloned itself and the two of them attached to the bottom of the Sniper Shooter.

She was now Kamen Rider Symbol Swift Turbo Sniper Style and was armed with the Turbine Shooter.

Symbol quickly hit the right Shift Lever once as the zoomer command fully wore off and Lesser Blade Phantoms numbers three, four, five were charging at her once more, now back to their normal speed. [MAGIC TOUCHIE GO!] Symbol peered down the Turbine Shooter’s scope as she scanned her right glove across her Wizard Driver’s Hand Author. [TURBO MAGIC PLEASE!] Symbol took aim as the turbines at the base of the Turbine Shooter started to spin, feeding power into the sniper rifle. Symbol pulled the trigger and was blown back several feet by the massive amount of recoil. “WHOA!” shouted Symbol as she stumbled to regain her balance. She looked and saw that the Lesser Blade Phantoms had been sent flying backwards with sparks coming for their bodies. “This is one powerful gun!” she whistled in awe.

“Time to put an end to you three,” commented Symbol as she struck the left Shift Lever four times. [MAGICAL TOUCH GO! VERY NICE!] The Lesser Blade Phantoms started to get back up as Symbol scanned her left glove across her Wizard Driver’s Hand Author. [SWIFT! S RANK SPELL! THE BEST!] Yellow magical energy crackled into the Turbine Shooter as Symbol took aim. “Spiralling Bullets!” shouted Symbol as she pulled the trigger and fired a barrage of five yellow energy coated bullets that spiralled around each other slamming into the three Lesser Blade Phantoms and making all three of them go up in an explosion.

Suddenly, Symbol was forced to jump to the side as another five Lesser Blade Phantoms jumped out of the ground and slammed their blades into the space that she had just been in. Symbol quickly hit the right Shift Lever twice as the Lesser Blade Phantoms were dumb enough to charge at her in a line. [MAGIC TOUCHIE GO!] Symbol got down on one knee guard and lined up the Turbine Shooter as she scanned her right glove across her Wizard Driver’s Hand Author. [SNIPER MAGIC PLEASE!] Blue magical energy crackled into the Turbine Shooter as Symbol pulled the trigger. Out of the Turbine Shooter’s barrel roared a single beam, out of the turbines roared another two beams of blue magical energy. They slammed into the Lesser Blade Phantoms and sent them flying backwards with sparks coming from their bodies.

“Glad that I thought to brace myself this time,” muttered Symbol as she pressed her Wizard Driver’s left Shift Lever twice. [MAGICAL TOUCH GO!] As the Lesser Blade Phantoms started to get back up, Symbol made the Turbine Shooter vanish and scanned her left glove across her Wizard Driver’s Hand Author. [SWIFT! B RANK SPELL!] Symbol drew the Swift Dagger as she sprinted forwards, after three steps she vanished in a blur of speed and slashed of the Lesser Blade Phantoms across the waist. She ducked under a slash and slashed the second Lesser Blade Phantom up the torso. Symbol jumped over a low blade and cut the third Lesser Blade Phantom’s head with the Swift Dagger. Symbol landed back on the ground and kicked the fourth Lesser Blade Phantom in the nuts. Then she did a split, avoiding another blade and headbutting the fifth Lesser Blade Phantom as she came back up.

“Now’s my chance!” shouted Symbol as she hit the left Shift lever four times. [MAGICAL TOUCH GO! VERY NICE!] Symbol sprinted in a circle around the Lesser Blade Phantoms as she scanned her left glove across her Wizard Driver’s Hand Author. [SWIFT! S RANK SPELL! THE BEST!] Symbol was covered in yellow magical energy as she blurred forwards, surrounding the Lesser Blade Phantoms. She was going so fast that she looked like a streak of yellow light that surrounded the five Lesser Blade Phantoms. Suddenly, Symbol ran through the centre of the Phantoms and punched one of them across the face. “Swift Attack!” she had done it so fast that the circle was still in existence. Symbol repeated the process over a thousand times in the next ten seconds before skidding to a halt as the five Lesser Blade Phantoms exploded.

Then Symbol saw one last Lesser Blade Phantom run towards her. “Really?” asked Symbol as she pressed the left Shift Lever three times. [MAGICAL TOUCH GO!] Symbol took a step back, avoiding a blade as she scanned her left glove across her Wizard Driver’s Hand Author. [SWIFT! A RANK SPELL!] Symbol shamelessly tripped the Lesser Blade Phantom as she pressed the left Shift Lever four more times. [MAGICAL TOUCH GO! VERY NICE!] Symbol scanned her left glove across her Wizard Driver’s Hand Author as the Lesser Blade Phantom started to get back up. [SWIFT! S RANK SPELL! THE BEST!] Symbol held her left glove into the air. “Swift Fall!” five beams of yellow magical energy shot out of the sky and slammed into the Phantom causing it to explode.

Vergil saw five Lesser Blade Phantoms running towards him and pressed the sixth button on the Space Katana. [SIX!] Vergil blurred forwards, space twisting around him to form a cone as he appeared behind the Lesser Blade Phantoms. [KATANA STRIKE! NOW!] They only had enough time to turn around as they were covered in spheres of silver magical energy and torn to pieces by an uncountable number of sword slashes.

Vergil quickly pressed the left Shift Lever of his Wizard Driver and scanned his Angel Ring across his Wizard Driver’s Hand Author. [YES! KICK STRIKE!] Vergil vanished in a blur of silver magical energy. Leaving the Lesser Blade Phantom that had just slashed at him rather confused. [UNDERSTAND!?] Vergil reappeared several feet away and pressed the first button on the Space Katana once. [ONE!] Vergil ran back towards the Lesser Blade Phantom as both of his swords were covered in silver magical energy. [KATANA STRIKE! NOW!] He spun around, slashing the Lesser Blade Phantom once and making sparks explode from the two glowing silver cuts that he had just carved into it. Vergil spun a second time, cutting into a second Lesser Blade Phantom and his third spin cut into a third Lesser Blade Phantom.

Vergil slammed both of his katana’s together at the hilts. [YES! KATANA STRIKE!] Then he ran his left glove up the side of both of them, coating both the Yamato Katana and the Space Katana in silver magical energy. [UNDERSTAND?!] Vergil dashed forwards, spinning around three times, cutting into the third Lesser Blade Phantom over a dozen times per spin. Then he dashed over to the second Lesser Blade Phantom and spun around three more times, cutting into this Lesser Blade Phantom over two dozen times per spin. Vergil jumped over to the first Lesser Blade Phantom and spun three time, cutting into it over three dozen times per spin. Finally Vergil spun around once more, firing a circle of silver magical energy outwards that cut all three of the Lesser Blade Phantoms in half and caused them to explode.

Vergil quickly eased back from another slash from the next Lesser Blade Phantom and pressed the third button on the Space Katana. [THREE!] Three Lesser Blade Phantoms made the large mistake of surrounding Vergil. [KATANA STRIKE! NOW!] He spun around twice and then thrust the Yamato Katana into the air, using the sword’s momentum to pull himself into the air. The Yamato Katana generated silver wind that pulled both Vergil and the three Lesser Blade Phantoms that had been surrounding him into the air.

Vergil quickly pressed the fourth button on the Space Katana. [FOUR!] He started to spin, cutting into the Lesser Blade Phantoms as they got level with him as silver magical flames covered the edge of the two katana’s. [KATANA STRIKE! NOW!] Sparks flew from the Lesser Blade Phantoms as they were cut into and burned repeatedly by both of Vergil’s katana’s.

Seeing that he was not doing enough damage, Vergil slammed both the Space Katana and the Yamato Katana together at the hilts. [YES! KATANA STRIKE!] Vergil quickly ran his left glove up the back of the Space Katana, then he did the same to the Yamato Katana. [UNDERSTAND?!] Vergil spun at high speeds to the point he was a blur and the tips of the katana’s looked like a circle of solid silver light. Sparks flew from the Lesser Blade Phantoms was they fell back to the ground and exploded.

Vergil landed back on the ground and saw that he was surrounded by ten Lesser Blade Phantoms. With a snarl he pressed the second button on the Space Katana. [TWO!] Vergil separated the two katana’s and held them parallel to the ground as he spun around. [KATANA STRIKE! NOW!] The Lesser Blade Phantom’s dodged back, only to be cut into by an after image of the blade that was several metres longer than the original Yamato Katana and Space Katana.

Dante was already in the Osiris Style as he punched the Osiris Ring into the slot at the base of the Osiris Scythe’s handle. [ONE!] The holographic dice appeared above the Osiris Scythe’s blade and spun until it stopped on a one. [SCYTHE STRIKE!] Dante quickly spun around ten times, cutting into the Lesser Blade Phantoms that had surrounded him and made them stumble backwards with sparks coming from their bodies.

Dante saw his opening to finish this as he pressed the Osiris Scythe’s trigger. [SCYTHE STRIKE!] Light blue magical energy surged up the shaft of the Osiris Scythe and into its blade, transforming it into a wing construct. Dante spun around as the wing ejected its feathers. “Karma!” Dante quickly picked up speed and the Osiris Scythe was moving fast enough to transforming into a circle of light blue light with the feathers becoming five more circles. Sparks flew from the Lesser Blade Phantoms as they were cut into by the circles before they exploded.

Suddenly, Dante jumped back as the space he had just been in was slashed by the single Lesser Blade Phantom that had survived by jumping behind its fellow Phantoms. “No you don’t!” Dante punched the Osiris Ring into his Driver’s left slot and turned his wrist forwards. [KICK STRIKE GO!] Light blue wind wrapped around his right boot as Dante lashed out with a side kick. “Karma!” shouted Dante as his boot made impact and smashed the Phantom’s head off, causing both it and the Phantom’s main body to explode.

Dante jumped into the air as a Lesser Blade Phantom passed under him and punched the Osiris Ring into the slot at the bottom of the Osiris Scythe’s handle. [THREE!] The dice appeared and rolled until it stopped on a three. [SCYTHE STRIKE!] Dante used the Osiris Scythe as a hook to pull the Phantom into the air, cutting a glowing blue line through the centre of it.

Dante quickly punched the Osiris Ring into his Driver’s left slot and turned his wrist forwards. [KICK STRIKE GO!] Light blue magical energy covered Dante’s right boot as he did a backwards flip kick. His boot slammed into the Phantom and made sparks come from its body before the Lesser Blade Phantom exploded.

Dante saw another three Lesser Blade Phantoms approaching and pressed the Osiris Ring into the slot at the base of the Osiris Scythe again. [FIVE!] The dice appeared and spun until it stopped on a five. [SCYTHE STRIKE!] Dante dashed forwards, spinning around twice, slashing each of the Lesser Blade Phantoms once and ending on a hard across slash with all of his momentum behind it.

Dante quickly pressed down on the Osiris Scythe’s trigger. [SCYTHE STRIKE!] Light blue magical energy surged up the Osiris Scythe’s shaft and into the blade, forming into a wing construct that ejected its feathers, they hovered around the Osiris Scythe. “Cleaver!” Dante spun around twice, slashing at the Lesser Blade Phantoms with the Osiris Scythe as the feathers followed its movements, Dante ended the command on a hard across slash that made all three Phantoms explode.

Then Dante saw that one of the Lesser Blade Phantoms had survived and punched the Osiris Ring into his Driver’s left slot before turning his wrist forwards. [KICK STRIKE GO!] Light blue wind was pulled in from the air and swirled around Dante’s boot as he unleashed a pair of sidekicks to the Lesser Blade Phantom. “Cleaver!” he ended the command on a hard downwards kick that made sparks fly from the Lesser Blade Phantom until it fell over and exploded.

Suddenly, Dante was slashed across the back plate. “Argh!” he rolled along the ground and got back up, glaring at the Lesser Blade Phantom that had struck him from behind. Dante punched the Osiris Ring into the slot at the base of the Osiris Scythe’s handle. [SIX!] The dice appeared and spun before stopping when it displayed a six. [SCYTHE STRIKE!] He ran forwards a high speeds, the Lesser Blade Phantom had no time to react and sparks flew from its stomach as the Osiris Scythe was buried in it. The Phantom went flying backwards from the force behind the attack.

Dante quickly pressed the Osiris Scythe’s trigger. [SCYTHE STRIKE!] Light blue magical energy surged up the Osiris Scythe’s shaft and into its blade, forming into a wing construct. The feathers shot off and hovered around the Osiris Scythe’s blade. “Streak!” Dante ran forwards, becoming a light blue blur with the feathers following, becoming six more light blue streaks. They slammed into the Lesser Blade Phantom and made sparks explode from all six impact points. The Phantom was sent flying backwards before it exploded.

Suddenly, Dante spun on his heel and dashed towards another Lesser Blade Phantom that had just risen from the ground. He punched the Osiris Ring into his Driver’s left slot and turned his wrist forwards. [KICK STRIKE GO!] Light blue wind was pulled from the air and into his right boot. “Streak!” Dante jumped into flying kick and slammed his boot into the Lesser Blade Phantom, sending it flying back until it exploded.

Then Dante saw that he had been surrounded by five more Lesser Blade Phantoms. Dante quickly punched the Osiris Ring into the slot at the base of the Osiris Scythe’s handle. [FOUR!] The dice appeared and spun, stopping on a four. [SCYTHE STRIKE!] Dante bent down as light blue wind was pulled into the Osiris Scythe from the air. Just as the Lesser Blade Phantoms jumped at him, Dante leapt into the air, spinning. The Osiris Scythe generated a tornado of light blue wind as the Lesser Blade Phantoms were pulled into the air while Dante was spinning, he kept cutting into them with the Osiris Scythe, causing sparks to fly from their bodies.

As the tornado started to die down, Dante pressed the Osiris Scythe’s trigger. [SCYTHE STRIKE!] Light blue magical energy surged up the Osiris Scythe’s shaft and into its blade. The tornado burst back to life, ten times stronger than it was before. “Raze!” shouted Dante as the Lesser Blade Phantoms were pulled back into the air and cut into pieces by the Osiris Scythe. As the tornado died down once more the Phantoms fell back to the ground and exploded.

Dante saw that one of the Lesser Blade Phantoms had survived by kicking off another Lesser Blade Phantom. He punched the Osiris Ring into his Driver’s left slot and turned it forwards. [KICK STRIKE GO!] Dante covered his right boot in light blue wind and went shooting back down. “Raze!” shouted Dante’s as his boot made contact with the Phantom and caused it to explode.

“This is starting to get a little silly,” muttered Vergil as he was surrounded by Lesser Blade Phantoms. “I’d better take this up a level!” he slid a new ring onto his right middle finger. It was silver with a green gem in the centre that had a silver lightning bolt engraved into it. Vergil pressed down on his Wizard Driver’s right Shift Lever and scanned the Thunder Trigger Ring across his Wizard Driver’s Hand Author. [THUNDER TRIGGER!] Vergil held up his right glove and a new magic circle appeared. It was a green lightning bolt, within a green circle, within a green square, within a second green circle that had two layers and green runic text within the two layers. [NOW!] The magic circle fell through Vergil, transforming him into his Upgraded Form.

His face plate was now in the shape of a green circle gem, with silver framework. The rest of his helmet could not be seen as it had a white hood around it that had green thunder bolts engraved into it and silver outlines. His suit was white with green thunderbolts along it, attached black gloves, attached white boots and silver outlines. Around each of his wrists was a black onyx wristlet with silver framework. Vergil wore a pair of white shoulder guards that had silver outlines, they were connected across his neck and had green lighting bolts etched into them. Vergil wore a white ankle length robe with silver outlines and green thunder bolts etched into it. Coming from his shoulder pauldrons was a waist length cape that was coloured white, had silver outlines and green thunder bolts etched into it. Vergil now wore a Angel Ring on his left index finger and left ring finger.

Both the Space Katana and Yamato Katana now had a green lightning bolt running down the length of them. They had transformed into the Thunder Space Katana and the Thunder Yamato Katana.

Next to Vergil a clone appeared that was glowing with silver magical energy.

He was now Kamen Rider Vergil, Thunder Trigger Style and this was his Doppelganger.

Vergil pressed down on the first button of the Thunder Space Katana. [ONE!] A light silver holographic dice appeared and spun, stopping on a green one. [THUNDER KATANA STRIKE! NOW!] Vergil ran forwards and spun around, cutting through three Lesser Blade Phantoms and causing them to explode on his first spin. His second spin destroyed five more, Vergil’s third spin destroyed another two and the fourth spin made another five Lesser Blade Phantoms blow up. Finally, Vergil’s final spin destroyed ten more Lesser Blade Phantoms.

Several Lesser Blade Phantom surrounded Vergil’s doppelganger which pressed the second button on the Thunder Space Katana. [TWO!] The holographic dice appeared and spun around several times before stopping when it displayed a green two. [THUNDER KATANA STRIKE! NOW!] The Vergil doppelganger held both the Thunder Space Katana and the Thunder Yamato Katana in a reverse handed grip, parallel to the ground as green lightning crackled over the both of them. It spun around, cutting several Lesser Blade Phantoms at the waist, causing them to explode.

Both Vergil and his doppelganger slammed their Thunder Katana’s together at the hilt. [YES! THUNDER KATANA STRIKE!] Then they ran their right gloves over the back of them, making both of the Thunder Katana’s get covered in green lightning. [UNDERSTAND?!] Vergil ran forwards while spinning around, unleashing a barrage of slashes that cut through over thirty Lesser Blade Phantoms, making them spark as green lightning crackled over them.“Rapid Slash!” Vergil’s Doppelganger spun around, unleashing a circle of green lightning that cut through thirty lesser Blade Phantoms, making them fall over, all of the Lesser Blade Phantoms that were left exploded.

Vergil took off the Thunder Trigger Ring, both Angel Rings, slid the Demon Ring onto his left middle finger, pressed down on the left Shift Lever and scanned his left glove across his Wizard Driver’s Hand Author. [DEMON!] Vergil held his left glove down to the ground and the demon magic circle appeared before rising up through him. [NOW!] Transforming Vergil into the Demon Style.

The barrier around them vanished and an archway appeared with another play button on ground. 

“Your turn this time,” Symbol shoved Vergil forwards.

He glance at his sister as he pressed the third button on the Space Yamato Katana. [THREE!] Vergil jumped into the air and his right boot started to glow with golden magical energy, he shot back down. [KATANA STRIKE! NOW!] Vergil slammed his boot into the button, making a staircase of golden magical energy appear.

“WE DON’T HAVE TIME FOR THIS BULLSHIT!” bellow Dante as he ran past his siblings and took a left turn.

“What’s the matter?” mocked Lilith. “Oh! Yes, the torture and suffering of that little brat! Don’t worry, once Wiseman is done with her she won’t feel a thing.” 

The siblings took a right turn. 

“Nothing, ever again,” finished Lilith.

“Don’t you touch her!” shouted Vergil.

“Guys, stop!” shouted Symbol. “Your getting frustrated and playing into her trap! Take a deep breath! Calm down and shake it off!” 

Both brothers did so.

“Thank you sister,” thanked Vergil.

“Thanks,” added Dante begrudgingly.

“Happy to help!” chirped Symbol.

By this time they had reached the next platform by this time and the barrier came up. Lilith arrived in her disco ball. “Round three, nearly halfway! What do you think my little rebels?” she shouted to the crowd. “Shall we spice things up a little?”

“I’ll take the Tyrant Phantom again!” shouted Symbol as she slid the Advance Ring onto her left middle finger, she pressed her Wizard Driver’s left Shift Lever. [TOUCH TO ADVANCE YOUR CLASS!] Symbol scanned the Advance Ring across her Wizard Driver’s Hand Author. [ADVANCE PLEASE!] She held her left glove out in front of her and the advance magic circle appeared, before moving back through her, transforming Symbol into the Advanced Style. She quickly hit the left Shift Lever once. [TOUCH TO CAST THE NEXT LEVEL!] Symbol scanned her left glove across her Wizard Driver’s Hand Author. [ADVANCE C TIER SPELL!] She ran forwards as her right glove was covered in a thin layer of magical energy. The Tyrant Phantom set itself on fire and made to back hand Symbol, but she punched it with an uppercut that sent it flying backwards with a broken arm that had sparks coming from it.

The Tyrant Phantom gave a roar of rage as its arm healed. It set itself on fire and charged at Symbol, who pressed her Wizard Driver’s left Shift Lever three times. [TOUCH TO CAST THE NEXT LEVEL!] The ground shook as the Tyrant Phantom approached and Symbol scanned her left glove across her Wizard Driver’s Hand Author. [ADVANCE A TIER SPELL!] Symbol crossed both of her arms as the rectangles in the back of her forearm guards emitted particles yellow magical energy. The particles formed into a circle shaped shield that the Tyrant Phantom crashed into. Symbol skidded back back but took no damage from the attack.

“Now’s my chance!” Symbol hit her Wizard Driver’s left Shift Lever twice. [TOUCH TO CAST THE NEXT LEVEL!] She scanned her left glove across her Wizard Driver’s Hand Author as the rectangles on her legs and right forearm started to glow with particles of yellow magical energy. [ADVANCE B TIER SPELL!] Symbol covered her right forearm in the yellow magical energy particles as she vanished and appeared in front of the Tyrant Phantom, slamming her elbow into its face and sending it flying backwards with sparks coming from its head.

Symbol saw her opening and pressed her Wizard Driver’s left Shift Lever four times. [TOUCH TO CAST THE NEXT LEVEL! VERY NICE!] The Tyrant Phantom got back to its feet as Symbol scanned her left glove across her Wizard Driver’s Hand Author. [ADVANCE S TIER SPELL! THE BEST!] Both of her legs and elbows were covered in yellow magical energy as Symbol shot forwards. She dodged around behind the Phantom and elbowed it in the back. “Advance!” she shouted as the Phantom went flying. “Surround!” Symbol appeared in front of the Phantom’s flight path and slammed it into the ground with another elbow strike.

Symbol quickly slammed her glove down on her Wizard Driver’s left Shift Lever once. [TOUCH TO CAST THE NEXT LEVEL!] Symbol scanned her left glove as the rectangle on her right forearm guard started to emit particles of yellow magical energy. [ADVANCE C TIER SPELL!] She pressed her Wizard Driver’s left Shift Lever four times. [TOUCH TO CAST THE NEXT LEVEL! VERY NICE!] The Tyrant Phantom had just started to get back up as Symbol scanned her left glove across her Wizard Driver’s Hand Author for a second time. [ADVANCE S TIER SPELL! THE BEST!] The rectangle on her right forearm guard emitted a massive amount of magical energy as Symbol pulled back her fist and punched down. “Advance Beam!” a massive beam of yellow magical energy shot out of her glove and raced through the air, slamming into the Tyrant Phantom and forcing it into the ground. Causing the Tyrant Phantom to explode.

Symbol switched the Advance Ring for the Active Ring and pressed her Wizard Driver’s left Shift Lever. [MAGICAL TOUCH HENSHIN!] She scanned her left glove across her Wizard Driver’s Hand Author. [ACTIVE PLEASE!] Symbol held her Active Ring out to the left and the active magic circle appeared before moving through her. [LET’S GO!] Transforming Symbol into the Active Style.

“Glad that's over,” muttered Symbol as she turned to see how Dante and Vergil were doing against the Phantoms.

Vergil pressed the first button on the Space Yamato Katana. [ONE!] He ran forwards towards a Death Knight Phantom, letting it slash him across the chest plate as it gave him an opening to slash it across the shield. [KATANA STRIKE! NOW!] Vergil used the Space Yamato Katana to deflect another slash before using the same motion to hack at the Death Knight Phantom’s shield for a second time. He brought the Space Yamato Katana down in a double handed slash, making the Death Knight Phantom’s shield gain a large crack through the centre of it.

Vergil snarled as he ran his left glove up the back of the Space Yamato Katana. [YES! KATANA STRIKE!] The weapon was charged with golden energy as Vergil jumped back and then ran forwards. [UNDERSTAND?!] He slashed the Death Knight Phantom’s shield with an across slash then deflected its sword with his right glove. Vergil brought the Space Yamato Katana around in an upwards diagonal slash and kicked the Phantom back, stopping it from attack him. Vergil brought his Space Yamato Katana down in a double handed strike that caused the Phantom’s shield to shatter.

“You shall die!” Vergil pressed the second button on the Space Yamato Katana. [TWO!] He jumped into the air as golden magical energy cloaked the sword. [KATANA STRIKE! NOW!] Vergil quickly scanned his left glove up the back of the Space Yamato Katana. [YES! KATANA STRIKE!] The golden magical energy was pulled from the sword into his right boot. [UNDERSTAND?!] Vergil’s right boot left a trail of golden magical energy like a comet. His appendage slammed into the Death Knight Phantom and forced it down, dragging it through the ground with sparks coming from its body before it went up in an explosion.

Suddenly, Vergil shouted out in pain as the ground around him exploded into flames. He went flying back with lightning cracking over his body and landed back on the ground. He glared at the Hell Knight Phantom that had appeared from the ground. “Your going to pay for that!” with a snarl Vergil pressed the fourth button on the Space Yamato Katana. [FOUR!] He pulled the sword back and slammed the tip of it into the ground. [KATANA STRIKE! NOW!] From which came an explosion of golden magical energy that threw the Hell Knight Phantom into the air, rendering it nearly helpless.

“That shield has to go!” Vergil pressed the fifth button on the Space Yamato Katana. [FIVE!] Vergil spun the sword around three times, letting it gather golden magical energy. [KATANA STRIKE! NOW!] Vergil slashed upwards, firing a spinning golden sword construct that slammed into the Hell Knight Phantom’s shield, making it start to crack.

“It’s gotten even stronger than the last time I fought one of these Phantoms!” snarled Vergil as he ran his left glove over the back of the Space Yamato Katana. [YES! KATANA STRIKE!] A high amount of golden magical energy gathered over Vergil’s sword. [UNDERSTAND?!] He slashed upwards with the Space Yamato Katana. “Drive!” bellowed Vergil as a much stronger golden sword construct was fired at the Hell Knight Phantom. It slammed into the Phantom’s shield while spinning, grinding sparks from the shield until with a loud *CRACK!* it shattered.

Vergil quickly jumped into the air, as the shieldless Hell Knight Phantom came crashing back down to the ground. He pressed the third button on the Space Yamato Katana. [THREE!] Golden magical energy was gathered around the sword before being pulled into his right boot. [KATANA STRIKE! NOW!] Vergil went shooting down and slammed his boot into the Hell Knight Phantom. An explosion ignited between the two of them and Vergil went spinning back, landing on his boots as the weakened Phantom got back to its feet, sparks were coming from its body thanks to the damage it had taken.

“You shall die!” spat Vergil in a venomous monotone as he pressed the sixth button of the Space Yamato Katana. [SIX!] His sword was covered in golden magical energy as Vergil slashed at the Hell Knight Phantom, despite it being several metres out of sword range. [KATANA STRIKE! NOW!] Suddenly, the Hell Knight Phantom was covered in a sphere of golden magical energy before being torn to pieces by a number of sword slashes that could not be counted.

“Let’s go!” shouted Dante as he avoided a bomb from a Valkyrie Phantom and switched the Osiris Ring for the Aquila Ring, then he punched the Osiris Ring into his Driver’s left slot. [SET!] Dante turned his wrist back, then forwards, making his Driver’s door close and open again. [OPEN!] The aquila magic circle appeared from his Driver and moved back through him as it blocked a crossbow bolt from a Icarus Phantom. [A-Q-U-I-L-A!] Transforming Dante into the aquila style. He punched the Aquila Ring into the slot on the Aquila Stars. [TWO!] Dante jumped over another bomb, then he ran away from the detonation zone as the dice appeared and spun, stopping on a two. [SHURIKEN STRIKE!] Dante hurled the Aquila Stars into the air and they cloned into three pairs, circling around the three flying Phantoms. Before moving back towards Dante pulling the Phantoms with them as the Aquila Stars cut into their hostages. 

Dante made a second pair of the Aquila Stars appear in his gloves and punched the Aquila Ring into the Aquila Star’s slot. [ONE!] The light blue holographic dice appeared and spun, stopping on a one. [SHURIKEN STRIKE!] Dante quickly slashed the Icarus Phantom, the Valkyrie Phantom and the Peryton Phantom with the Aquila Stars, making sparks come from their bodies as they broke free from the Aquila Stars that had been circling them, keeping them restrained.

“Your not getting away!” shouted Dante as he avoided a lightning bolt from the Peryton Phantom and punched the Aquila Ring into the Aquila Star’s slot. [SIX!] The light blue holographic dice appeared and spun around six times before stopping when it displayed six dots. [SHURIKEN STRIKE!] Dante pulled back the Aquila Stars as light blue wind was pulled from the air and wrapped around him. Dante started spinning, making the light blue wind rapidly build up around him, creating a tornado. The three Phantoms were pulled into it by the light blue wind and sparks came from their bodies as they were attacked by the wind.

As the Phantoms were all flung to the floor, Dante pressed down on the Aquila Star’s triggers. [SHURIKEN STRIKE!] Suddenly, Dante stopped spinning, sending the tornado shooting over to the Phantoms. “Tornado!” quickly tearing them to pieces as sparks came from their bodies before they exploded.

Suddenly, a pair of Lesser Blade Phantoms burst from the ground. Dante recalled the Aquila Stars as he dodged a blade slash and punched the Aquila Ring into the Aquila Star’s slot. [FOUR!] The light blue holographic dice appeared and spun around four times before stopping when it displayed four wind blue dots. [SHURIKEN STRIKE!] Dante pulled back the Aquila Stars and threw them forwards, they circled around one of the Lesser Blade Phantoms making sparks come from its body as they cut into it.

Dante jumped back as the second Lesser Blade Phantom slashed down, its sword hitting the ground where he had just been standing. Dante punched the Aquila Ring into the slot of the Aquila Stars that had just appeared in his gloves. [FIVE!] The light blue holographic dice appeared and spun, stopping when it showed five wind blue dots. [SHURIKEN STRIKE!] Dante covered his body in light blue wind as he pressed down on the Aquila Star’s trigger. [SHURIKEN STRIKE!] The light blue wind around Dante’s body howled as he shot forwards. “Caliber!” he charged passed the second Lesser Blade Phantom and cut it in half with the Aquila Stars. Light blue lightning sparked over the Phantoms body before it exploded.

Dante glanced over to the other Lesser Blade Phantom and saw that it was still being cut into by the Aquila Stars. “Wow, I must have put more power into that than I thought!” commented Dante as he pressed down on the Aquila Star’s trigger. [SHURIKEN STRIKE!] The Aquila Stars which were cutting into the Lesser Blade Phantom were covered in light blue wind. They cut a line through the centre of the Phantom, light blue lightning sparked over its body until it exploded.

Only for the Phantom to stagger out of the explosion. “Your much stronger than the rest of your kind,” stated Dante as he punched the Osiris Ring into his Driver’s left slot and turned his wrist forwards. [KICK STRIKE GO!] Light blue wind covered Dante’s right boot as a pair of Aquila Star constructs appeared on either side of him. “Round Trip!” he jumped forwards and the Aquila Star constructs followed, both his boot and the Aquila Star constructs slammed into the Lesser Blade Phantom and caused it to explode.

Dante switched the Aquila Ring for the Eryx Ring and punched it into his Driver’s left slot. [SET!] He turned his wrist back, then forwards, making his Driver’s gate close and open again. [OPEN!] The eryx magic circle appeared from Dante’s Driver, before moving back through him. [E-R-Y-X!] Transforming Dante into the Eryx Style. He punched the Eryx Ring into the slot on the back of the right Eryx Gauntlet. [FIVE!] The flame red holographic dice appeared and spun before stopping when it displayed five earth red dots. [FIST STRIKE!] Dante jumped into the air and slammed his right fist onto a play button that had appeared under him.

All of a suddenly, the siblings were in a blue room with a corridor leading out of one side.

“What on earth?” demanded Symbol.

“Your honestly shocked that something unexpected happened?” asked Vergil.

“Shut up,” grumbled Symbol.

They ran down the corridor before arriving in a room as Rage Spawn Phantoms crawled down the walls towards them.

Dante quickly drew the Revenant Shotgun and pulled open its barrel, punching the Eryx Ring into the left slot. [ERYX!] Dante slammed the barrels of the Revenant Shotgun closed. [HALF CHARGE!] Dante started spinning the Revenant Shotgun around his body while firing blast of red magical energy that exploded violently, blasting away whole scores of Rage Spawn Phantoms. 

Then Dante saw a Ghost Rage Phantom come crawling down the walls. “We don’t have time for this!” he shouted as he switched the Eryx Ring for the Angel Trigger Ring and punched it into his Driver’s left slot. [TRIGGER!] Dante turned his wrist back, then forwards, making his Driver’s gate close and open again. [GO ANGEL!] The angel construct appeared from Dante’s Driver and knocked the Ghost Rage Phantom back before it wrapped around Dante. The angel construct fused with Dante. [AN-AN-AN-ANGEL!] Transforming him into the Angel Trigger Style. Dante reached behind his back and drew the Rebellion Magnum Aquila Mode before punching the Angel Trigger Ring into the back of it. [ANGEL FOUR!] A wind blue one with light blue outlines appeared next to the Rebellion Magnum Aquila Mode’s skull. [MAGNUM STRIKE!] Dante took aim and fired a pair of energy bolts. They circle around the Ghost Rage Phantom and started cutting into its body repeatedly, preventing it from moving or attacking. 

Dante jumped into the air as the Ghost Rage Phantom broke free with a livid roar. He punched the Angel Trigger Ring into the back of the Rebellion Magnum Aquila mode. [ANGEL FIVE!] A wind blue five with light blue outlines appeared next to the Rebellion Magnum Aquila Mode’s skull. [MAGNUM STRIKE!] Dante pointed down with the magnum down and pulled the trigger once light blue energy had finished gathering in its barrel. Out of the Rebellion Magnum Aquila Mode’s barrel roared a pair of light blue energy blasts that slammed into the ground, just in front of the Ghost Rage Phantom, making it get flung back with a yowl of pain.

The Ghost Rage Phantom got back up with a snarl and fired its quills into the air before they aimed themselves at Dante. He quickly punched the Angel Trigger Ring into the back of the Rebellion Magnum Aquila Mode. [ANGEL THREE!] A wind blue three with light blue outlines appeared next to the Rebellion Magnum Aquila Mode’s skull. [MAGNUM STRIKE!] Dante took aim into the air and fired. The Rebellion Magnum Aquila Mode fired three light blue bolts of magical energy that orbited Dante in three rings. The quills shot forwards only to bounce off the rings.

As the rings faded away, the Ghost Rage Phantom set its claws on fire and lunged at Dante. He quickly punched the Angel Trigger Ring into the back of the Rebellion Magnum Aquila Mode. [ANGEL ONE!] A wind blue one with light blue outlines appeared next to the Rebellion Magnum Aquila Mode’s skull as energy charged in the barrel. [MAGNUM STRIKE!] Dante took aim and fired a blue blast of magical energy, the Ghost Rage Phantom dodged to the side, only for the blast to arc around and slam into its back making sparks fly from it.

The Ghost Rage Phantom stumbled, but kept up its attack, lunging forwards at Dante as he punched the Angel Trigger Ring into his Driver’s left slot and turned his wrist forwards. [KICK STRIKE! GO!] For a second Dante’s body flashed with bright blue intense raging magical energy. [ANGEL!] Dante vanished, letting the Ghost Rage phantom pass through where he had just been standing, it stumbled around looking confused as to where its prey had gone.

Dante had appeared behind the Ghost Rage Phantom and punched the Angel Trigger Ring into the back of the Rebellion Magnum Aquila Mode. [ANGEL SIX!] A wind blue six with light blue outlines appeared next to the Rebellion Magnum’s skull. [MAGNUM STRIKE!] Dante took aim and fired a horizontal tornado that slammed into the Ghost Rage Phantom, sending it flying with sparks coming from its body.

“Time to finish this!” shouted Dante as he held down on the Rebellion Magnum Aquila Mode’s trigger. [MAGNUM STRIKE!] He let ten rings of light blue magical energy get pulled into the Rebellion Magnum Aquila Mode. [ANGEL!] Dante took aim at the Ghost Rage Phantom and fired a massive light blue horizontal tornado. “Tornado!” the attack slammed into the Ghost Rage Phantom and caused it to explode. 

[SET!] [OPEN!] [O-S-I-R-I-S!] At that moment, Dante’s mana dropped below what he needed to stay in the Angel Trigger Style and he was forced to  transform back into the Osiris Style.

Symbol quickly switched out the Active Ring for the Burst Ring and pressed her Wizard Driver’s left Shift Lever. [MAGICAL TOUCH HENSHIN!] She scanned her left glove across her Wizard Driver’s Hand Author as she jumped over five Rage Spawn Phantoms that had lunged at her. [BURST PLEASE!] Symbol held her left glove out to the side and the burst magic circle appeared before moving through her. [CAST THE SPELL!] Transforming Symbol into the Burst Style. Symbol landed back on the ground and hit the left Shift Lever once. [MAGICAL TOUCH GO!] She ducked as another Rage Spawn Phantom flew over her helmet and scanned her left glove across her Wizard Driver’s Hand Author. [BURST! C RANK SPELL!] Symbol held out her left glove and four sparks appeared in the air before igniting into balls of flame. They shot forwards and exploded violently, sending all six of the Rage Spawn Phantoms flying back as well as setting them on fire. The Rage Spawn Phantoms cried out as they turned to ash on death.

Symbol quickly pressed her Wizard Driver’s left Shift Lever four more times as ten Rage Spawn Phantoms crawled down the wall. [MAGICAL TOUCH GO! VERY NICE!] Right before the Rage Spawn Phantoms lunged, Symbol scanned her left glove across her Wizard Driver’s Hand Author. [BURST! S RANK SPELL! THE BEST!] Ten sparks appeared in the air, before suddenly igniting into ten balls of flame that were much hotter than the last four. “Fire Swarm!” shouted Symbol, at her command the flame orbs rushed in and smashed into the Rage Spawn Phantoms. They all shouted out in pain as they were rapidly burned to death.

“Argh!” shouted Symbol as another Rage Spawn Phantom leapt up and bit into her shoulder pauldron, making sparks come from it. Symbol hit her Wizard Driver’s left Shift Lever twice. [MAGICAL TOUCH GO!] “Your gonna pay for this!” she winced as she scanned her left glove over her Wizard Driver’s Hand Author. [BURST! B RANK SPELL!] Water in the air froze over and turned into four shurikens of ice. They spun and shot down cutting through the Rage Spawn Phantoms. With a flick of her wrist, Symbol had them arc up and spin down through the air, cutting through another five Rage Spawn Phantoms before they lost power and melted.

Symbol jumped back as another Rage Spawn Phantom lunged past her and hit her Wizard Driver’s left Shift Lever four times. [MAGICAL TOUCH GO! VERY NICE!] Symbol jumped over another Rage Spawn Phantom before scanning her left glove over her Wizard Driver’s Hand Author. [BURST! S RANK SPELL! THE BEST!] Water in the air froze over once more, turning into four ice shurikens. “Ice Assault!” shouted Symbol as at her command, each of the four ice shurikens cut through a group of five Rage Spawn Phantoms. She flicked her left wrist and they combined into a single large ice shuriken that cut through twenty more Rage Spawn Phantoms.

Suddenly, Symbol looked over her shoulder pauldron and if she had been in her human form then she would have gone pale. It looked like a tidal wave of Rage Spawn Phantoms were lunging at her. “Nuts!” shouted Symbol as she hit her Wizard Driver’s left Shift Lever three times in panic. [MAGICAL TOUCH GO!] Symbol scanned her left glove across her Wizard Driver’s Hand Author. [BURST! A RANK SPELL!] She slammed her left glove into the ground and out of which burst a wall of solid rock that stopped the tidal wave of Rage Spawn Phantoms.

As the Rage Spawn Phantoms started trying to break the wall, Symbol hit her Wizard Driver’s left Shift Lever four times. [MAGICAL TOUCH GO! VERY NICE!] Symbol scanned her left glove across her Wizard Driver’s Hand Author as the wall started to break. [BURST! S RANK SPELL! THE BEST!] She covered her left glove in purple magical energy as she curled it into a fist. “Earth Wall Assault!” Symbol slammed her fist into the wall and it collapsed on top of the Rage Spawn Phantoms, crushing most of them to dust.

“Finale!” shouted Symbol as she drew the Burst Wand and pulled on its thumb, opening its Hand Author. [COME ON A CAST SHAKE HANDS!] Symbol scanned her left glove across the Burst Wand’s Hand Author. [BURST! CAST STRIKE!] A sphere of purple magical energy appeared in front of the Burst Wand. “Burst Beam!” shouted Symbol as the orb transformed into a beam of pure, purple magical power. It slammed into the last few Rage Spawn Phantoms and turned them to dust.

Vergil switched the Demon Ring for the Nephilim Ring, pressed down on his Wizard Driver’s left Shift Lever and scanned his left glove across his Wizard Driver’s Hand Author. [NEPHILIM!] Vergil held his left glove out in front of him as the nephilim magic circle appeared before moving back through him. [NOW!] Transforming Vergil into the Nephilim Style as he pressed the first button on the Space Sheath. [ONE!] Vergil ran towards the three Rage Spawn Phantoms. [KATANA STRIKE! NOW!] One of them lunged at him, only to be cut in half by a diagonal strike. The next was crushed by the tip of the Yamato Katana and a downward strike from the Yamato Katana made the third Rage Spawn Phantom burst into dust.

Vergil quickly jumped into the air as another three Rage Spawn Phantoms passed under him, while in the air, Vergil pressed the Space Sheath’s fifth button. [FIVE!] Vergil drew the Yamato Katana from the Space Sheath and went shooting down towards the ground. [KATANA STRIKE! NOW!] Vergil slammed the Yamato Katana down onto the ground, making an explosion of magical energy shoot outwards, it slammed into the Rage Spawn Phantoms and sent all of them flying, they turned to ash in mid-air.

Vergil saw a whole horde of Rage Spawn Phantom’s dashing towards him and pressed the sixth button of the Space Sheath. [SIX!] He focused power into the Yamato Katana as he took up a stance. [KATANA STRIKE! NOW!] Vergil tore the Yamato Katana from the Space Sheath and slashed through the air. After a second he slowly slid the Yamato Katana back into the Space Sheath, stopping for a second and then slamming the Yamato Katana home. The Rage Spawn Phantoms were covered in a sphere of blue and red energy before being cut into pieces by an uncountable number of sword slashes. 

Then Vergil saw another horde running at him. “This is getting silly!” muttered Vergil as he ran his left glove up the back of the Space Sheath. [YES! KATANA STRIKE!] Vergil pulled the Yamato Katana, glowing in blood red and light blue magical energy, from the Space Sheath. [UNDERSTAND?!] He slashed at thin air, then replaced the Yamato Katana into the Space Sheath, slamming it home. “Perfect Slice!” whispered Vergil as the Rage Spawn Phantoms were torn to pieces by a wall of sword slashes that appeared around them out of nowhere.

Vergil saw more Rage Spawn Phantoms running at him and switched the Nephilim Ring for his Angel Ring. Vergil pressed his Wizard Driver’s left Shift Lever and scanned his left glove across his Wizard Driver’s Hand Author. [ANGEL!] Vergil held his left glove into the air, the angel magic circle appeared and fell through him. [NOW!] Transforming Vergil into the Angel Style as he pressed the first button on the Space Katana. [ONE!] Silver magical energy covered both the Space Katana and the Yamato Katana as Vergil ran forwards. [KATANA STRIKE! NOW!] He spun around, cutting through at least five Rage Spawn Phantoms with each spin.

Vergil quickly pressed his Wizard Driver’s left Shift Lever twice, then scanned his left glove across his Wizard Driver’s Hand Author. [YES! KICK STRIKE!] A sword construct of silver energy appeared and slammed into one of the Rage Spawn Phantoms, turning it to dust. [UNDERSTAND!?] More silver sword constructs appeared and did the same thing, destroying about thirty Rage Spawn Phantoms before the command wore off.

Seeing that he had been surrounded by Rage Spawn Phantoms, Vergil pressed the second button on the Space Katana. [TWO!] Vergil dashed forwards at high speed and spun around. [KATANA STRIKE! NOW!] The Space Katana and the Yamato Katana emitted a ring of silver energy around Vergil that surged outwards and cut through all of the Rage Phantoms that had surrounded him.

Suddenly, the last five Rage Spawn Phantoms leapt at Vergil and he pressed his Wizard Driver’s left Shift Lever three times then scanned his left glove across his Wizard Driver’s Hand Author. [YES! KICK STRIKE!] Silver energy surged out from his body and formed into a circle of summon swords around Vergil. [UNDERSTAND!?] They spun, cutting through all five of the Rage Spawn Phantoms.

Vergil was about to switch his Angel Ring for his Demon Ring to trigger a play button that had appeared under his boots. 

When Symbol stopped him. “This is taking to long!” she shouted in anger.

“Do you have a better idea?” asked Vergil.

“Yeah! I do!” shouted Symbol.

“What?” asked Dante as he ran up to his siblings.

“This!” shouted Symbol as she pressed her Wizard Driver’s left Shift Lever four times. [MAGICAL TOUCH GO! VERY NICE!] Symbol scanned her left glove across her Wizard Driver’s Hand Author. [BURST! S RANK SPELL! THE BEST!] She grabbed both of her Brothers by their shoulder pauldrons and concentrated on Lilith’s magical energy signal. It a flash of purple light they vanished. 

“What?!” shouted Lilith as she turned around, just in time for a trio of boots to slam into her face and send her flying off the balcony. She got back to her feet angrily. “THAT’S CHEATING!” she roared.

“Like any of us care!” shouted Dante. Then he turned to Symbol. “Where didn’t you do that in the first place?!” he shouted.

At that moment a magical glyph appeared behind Symbol and moved through her, transforming her back into a pale, exhausted and sweating Sunset Shimmer Sparda. She stumbled and would have fallen had Vergil not grabbed her.

“Easy baby sister,” Vergil laid her on the ground.

“Sorry you two, but it took all the magical energy I had to teleport that distance. I won’t be much use for a while,” she apologised weakly.

“Rest up sis,” Dante’s voice was much softer now that he understood Sunset could not have teleported them from the start.

“We’ll take it from here!” both Vergil and Dante jumped down to the dance floor.

“Your turn Barbie!” mocked Dante.

“We will end this!” threatened Vergil.
> S1E15 Last Dance
> --------------------------------------------------------------------------

“Your turn Barbie!” Dante pointed at Lilith.

“Yes!” cheered Lilith.

“She seems unusually happy about fighting a pair of Kamen Riders with a third moments away from recovering and joining in,” commented Vergil.

“Tell me about it,” whispered Dante.

“This is exactly the opportunity I was waiting for!” shouted Lilith.

“What do you mean, moments from recovering?” asked Dante.

“We recover much faster from injuries and mana drain in our human forms than we do in our Kamen Rider Forms,” explained Vergil.

“Come on baby, let make daddy proud!” shouted Lilith as she held her stomach. “That’s right little one, its play time!”

“Huh,” responded Dante.

“Did you know that?” asked Vergil.

“No, you learn something new every day,” replied Dante.

Vergil face plate palmed.

“I’ve been looking for a chance to unwind,” commented Lilith as she took off her long blonde hair, revealing it to be a wig.

Sunset winced from the balcony as she saw the transforming that Lilith underwent. 

Her legs were dangling out of a massive malformed baby that had one big arm, three eyes and five tentacles coming from its back. This is Wiseman Spawn Phantom. 

“Now that’s a face only a mother could love,” stated Dante.

“On that, we agree,” replied Vergil.

“Rot in hell!” roared Lilith as she was fully pulled into the stomach of the Wiseman Spawn Phantom.

On the balcony, Sunset tilted her head to the side. “Isn’t it normally the other way around?” she questioned in confusion.

The Wiseman Spawn Phantom pulled back its smaller fist and slammed it on the ground, where Dante and Vergil had been standing as they both jumped back.

Dante punched the Nephilim Ring into the slot at the base of the Rebellion Blade’s handle. [ONE!] The mouth opened to reveal a single red and blue circle. [NEPHILIM SABER STRIKE!] Dante slashed upwards, slamming the Rebellion Blade into the Wiseman Spawn Phantom’s chin, sending it staggering backwards.

Vergil pressed down on his Wizard Driver’s left Shift lever once then scanned his Nephilim Ring across it. [YES! KICK STRIKE!] He vanished in a burst of dark blue smoke. [UNDERSTAND!?] Vergil appeared level with the Wiseman Spawn Phantom’s head and pressed the first button on the Space Sheath. [ONE!] He pulled the Yamato Katana from the Space Sheath and slashed the Wiseman Spawn Phantom across the face once, then a second time before ending the combo on a hard downwards slash. [KATANA STRIKE! NOW!]

The Wiseman Spawn Phantom staggered back and fired a beam of yellow energy from its left eye at Vergil. He quickly pressed his Wizard Driver’s left Shift Lever once and scanned his Nephilim Ring across it. [YES! KICK STRIKE!] Vergil vanished in another burst of dark blue smoke and appeared back on the ground as the blast flew over his helmet. [UNDERSTAND!?]

“Batter up!” shouted Dante. He punched the Nephilim Ring into the Rebellion Blade’s slot. [FIVE!] The blade’s mouth closed and opened, revealing five blood red and light blue slots.  [NEPHILIM SABER STRIKE!] Dante pulled back the Rebellion Blade and stabbed forwards, slamming the tip of it into the energy beam. “Woah!” shouted Dante as he skidded backwards from the force. “This is a lot of power!” the beam suddenly exploded sending Dante flying. 

“Dante! No!” shouted Vergil. He switched his Nephilim Ring for his Demon Ring, pressed down on his Wizard Driver’s left Shift Lever and scanned Vergil left glove across his Wizard Driver’s Hand Author. [DEMON!] He held his left glove down to the ground and his demon magic circle appeared under his boots before rising up through him. [NOW!] Transforming Vergil into his Demon Style. He jumped into the air, avoiding a sweep from the Wiseman Spawn Phantom’s smaller arm. Vergil pressed the fifth button on the Space Yamato Katana. [FIVE!] The golden dice appeared and spun around five times before stopping when it displayed five red dots. [KATANA STRIKE! NOW!] Vergil quickly slashed the Space Yamato Katana through the air, leaving a trail of golden magical energy. Out of which roared a large sword of golden magical energy that slammed into the Wiseman Spawn Phantom’s face and drew a small number of sparks.

“What the-?!” Vergil was swatted out of the air by the large arm of the Wiseman Spawn Phantom and smashed into a wall. 

With a yell, Dante got back up and switched the Nephilim Ring for the Osiris Ring. He punched it into his Driver’s left slot. [SET!] Dante turned his wrist back, then forwards, making his Driver’s door close and open again. [OPEN!] The osiris magic circle appeared from Dante’s Driver and moved back through him. [O-S-I-R-I-S!] Transforming Dante into the Osiris Style. He punched the Osiris Ring into his Driver’s left slot and turned his wrist forwards. [KICK STRIKE GO!] Dante was covered in the light blue wind as he kicked the ground and was boosted up towards the Wiseman Spawn Phantom’s face.

Dante quickly punched the Osiris Ring into the slot at the base of the Osiris Scythe’s handle. [ONE!] The light blue holographic dice appeared and spun, stopping when it displayed a single wind blue dot. [SCYTHE STRIKE!] Then Dante held down the Osiris Scythe’s trigger. [SCYTHE STRIKE!] Light blue magical energy surged up the Osiris Scythe’s shaft and into its blade, forming into a wing construct. “Hanger!” roared Dante as he spun around with enough speed that the Osiris Scythe looked like a circle of light blue light. The wing construct had ejected its feathers which formed into another five circles of light blue energy as they followed the movements of the Osiris Scythe.

Dante finished spinning as he punched the Osiris Ring into his Driver’s left slot before turning his wrist forwards. [KICK STRIKE GO!] His right boot was covered in the light blue wind as Dante unleashed a fierce roundhouse kick. “Hanger!” he shouted as his boot made contact. While he had been spinning, Dante had built up a lot of momentum and he had put all of it into that kick. Sparks exploded from the Wiseman Spawn Phantom’s face as it staggered back in pain.

Suddenly, the Wiseman Spawn Phantom spun around and slammed Vergil into the ground with its smaller arm and then smashed him further into the ground with its big fist. Or at least it tried to. Vergil was not keen on being squished and pressed the fourth button on the Space Yamato Katana. [FOUR!] He spun the Space Yamato Katana around twice and then slammed the tip of it into the ground. [KATANA STRIKE! NOW!] From which came an explosion of golden magical energy that threw the Wiseman Spawn Phantom’s fist off course, sending it crashing into the ground beside Vergil.

“That was close- ARGH!” shouted Vergil as a shockwave of red energy erupted from the fist and sent him flying through the air, crashing into a wall.

“So it releases a shock wave when it hits the ground,” commented Dante. “Good to know,” he pressed the Osiris Ring into the slot at the base of the Osiris Scythe. [ONE!] The wind blue dice appeared and spun around several times before stopping when it displayed a single light blue dot. [SCYTHE STRIKE!] Dante jumped into the air, getting over the Wiseman Spawn Phantom’s smaller arm and pressing down on the Osiris Scythe’s trigger. [SCYTHE STRIKE!] Light blue magical energy surged up the shaft of the Osiris Scythe and into its blade, forming into a wing construct. “Hanger!” shouted Dante as he slashed with the Osiris Scythe, firing the feathers off. They started to spin, moving so fast that they transformed into five circles of light blue light. They slammed into the Wiseman Spawn Phantom’s face and sent it flying back with sparks coming from its face.

Suddenly, the Wiseman Spawn Phantom fired a beam from its third eye that sent Dante flying back with sparks coming from his body as the beam washed over him. “ARGH!” shouted Dante in pain as he was smashed into a wall and was pressed against it thanks to the force of the beam. 

“Dante!” shouted Vergil as he got back up and pressed his Wizard Driver’s left Shift Lever three times before scanning his left glove across his Wizard Driver’s Hand Author. [YES! KICK STRIKE!] Six sword constructs made of golden magical energy appeared before shooting at the Wiseman Spawn Phantom’s face. [UNDERSTAND!?] They shot forwards, only to slam into a shield of black magical energy.

“It has a shield?!” demanded Vergil.

“Then we just have to bust through it!” shouted Dante as he switched the Osiris Ring for the Arbiter Ring and pressed it into his Driver’s left slot. [SET!] Dante turned his wrist back, then forwards, making his Driver’s gate close and open. [OPEN!] The arbiter magic circle appeared in front of Dante and moved back through him. [A-R-B-I-T-E-R!] Transforming Dante into the Arbiter Style. He drew the Arbiter Axe and punched the Arbiter Ring into the slot at the base of its handle. [ONE!] The red holographic dice appeared and spun around several times, stopping when it displayed a single blood-red dot. [AXE STRIKE!] Dante swung the Arbiter Axe down, firing an energy construct of a spinning axe head that slammed into the shield. 

Failing to put a single crack in it.

Dante blinked. “Ok, so this might not be as easy as I thought,” he admitted.

Then the Wiseman Spawn Phantom fired three beams of magical energy, one from each of its eyes. Vergil quickly pressed the third button on the Space Yamato Katana. [FIVE!] Golden magical energy gathered around the Space Yamato Katana as Vergil swung it back. [KATANA STRIKE! NOW!] Then he swung it to the side, firing a golden sword construct that slammed into one of the beams, holding it back.

Dante punched the Arbiter Ring into the slot at the bottom of the Arbiter Axe’s handle again. [TWO!] The red holographic dice appeared and spun around twice before it stopped when it displayed a pair of blood red dots. [AXE STRIKE!] Before doing anything else, Dante pressed down on the Arbiter Axe’s trigger. [AXE STRIKE!] Red magical energy surged up the shaft of the Arbiter Axe as Dante pulled it back and slammed the weapon into the ground. “Tremor!” from the impact point came two lines of red magical energy that slammed into the remaining two beams and held them back.

Then Vergil saw that his sword construct was starting to crack. “That isn’t going to hold those beams back for long!” he switched his Demon Ring for his Angel Ring and pressed his Wizard Driver’s left Shift Lever before scanning his Angel Ring across his Wizard Driver’s Hand Author. [ANGEL!] “We have to move!” shouted Vergil as he held his left glove into the air and the angel magic circle appeared before falling through him. [NOW!] Transforming Vergil into his Angel Style. Vergil pressed his Wizard Driver’s left Shift Lever once and scanned his left glove across his Wizard Driver’s Hand Author. [YES! KICK STRIKE!] A silver dagger construct appeared over Vergil’s shoulder and fired into a pillar as his sword construct started to crack. [UNDERSTAND!?] Vergil vanished in a silver flash, right as his sword construct shattered and the beam slammed into the ground where he had just been standing.

Before Dante had any chance to react, the beams smashed through his red energy lines and into him, sending Dante flying back. “ARGH!” sparks flew from Dante’s body as he crashed into a wall after smashing through five pillars.

“Dante!” shouted Vergil. With a snarl, he pressed the sixth button on the Space Katana. [SIX!] Silver magical energy covered both of Vergil’s swords as he crouched. [KATANA STRIKE! NOW!] He slashed with both the Space Katana and the Yamato Katana, firing a pair of silver energy crescents. They shot through the air and slammed into the Wiseman Spawn Phantom. Its shield stopped them before they wrapped around the Wiseman Spawn Phantom and the monster was enveloped by hundreds of sword slashes, then it was engulfed by an explosion. When the smoke cleared the Wiseman Spawn Phantom’s shield had held but had cracks running through it.

“I’ve got to keep up the pressure!” shouted Vergil as he slammed the Space Katana and the Yamato Katana together by their hilts. [YES! KATANA STRIKE!] Vergil ran his left glove and the Angel Ring across the back of both swords. [UNDERSTAND?!] Silver magical energy covered the Yamato Katana and the Space Katana as with a roar, Vergil charged. “Perfect Slice!” shouted Vergil as he vanished in a blur of speed and appeared behind the Wiseman Spawn Phantom. The Phantom was then covered in five silver spheres of magical energy as it was then cut into by thousands of silver sword slashes that appeared out of thin air.

Then, with the sound of shattering glass, the shield shattered into a billion pieces. 

“No!” screamed Lilith.

Dante had recovered by this time and punched the Arbiter Ring into the slot at the base of the Arbiter Axe’s handle. [FIVE!] The red dice appeared and spun around five times before stopping when it displayed five blood red dots. [AXE STRIKE!] Dante jumped into the air, getting above the Wiseman Spawn Phantom and punching the Arbiter Ring into his Drivers left slot before turning his wrist forwards. [GO! KICK STRIKE!] Red magical energy ran from his Driver, into Dante’s right boot as he went into a falling stomp, slamming his boot into the Wiseman Spawn Phantom’s back. The Wiseman Spawn Phantom howled in pain as an explosion went off.

Vergil ran towards the Wiseman Spawn Phantom as he pressed the fifth button on the Space Katana. [FIVE!] Silver magical energy covered both the Space Katana and the Yamato Katana. [KATANA STRIKE! NOW!] Vergil slammed the two swords together by their hilts. [YES! KATANA STRIKE!] He ran his left glove and the Angel Ring over the back of the two swords. [UNDERSTAND?!] Vergil let silver magical energy blaze around them as he slashed twice. “Aerial Flush!” whispered Vergil as a pair of silver spinning sword constructs shot from the Space Katana and the Yamato Katana. They slammed into the Wiseman Spawn Phantom and ground sparks from its face before both of them exploded, sending the Phantom stumbling backwards.

Dante switched the Arbiter Ring for the Nephilim Ring and punched it into his Driver’s left slot. [SET!] Dante turned his wrist back, then forwards, making his Driver’s gate close and open. [OPEN!] The nephilim magic circle appeared from his Driver. [N-E-P-H-I-L-I-M!] Dante ran through it, emerging in the Nephilim Style. He drew the Rebellion Blade and punched the Nephilim Ring into its slot. [ONE!] The mouth closed and then opened to reveal a single blood red and light blue circle. [NEPHILIM SABER STRIKE!] Dante quickly pressed the Rebellion Blade’s trigger. [NEPHILIM SABER STRIKE!] Blood red and light blue magical energy covered the Rebellion Blade as Dante slashed upwards, using the sword’s momentum to pull himself into the air. “High Time!” shouted Dante then he slashed downwards, using the Rebellion Blade to pull himself back down to the ground as he cut into the Wiseman Spawn Phantom. “Helm Breaker!” the Wiseman Spawn Phantom roared in pain as sparks came from the two glowing blood red and light blue cuts Dante had carved into its side.

As the Wiseman Spawn Phantom staggered around in pain, Vergil pressed the third button on the Space Katana. [THREE!] Silver magical energy covered both of Vergil’s swords. [KATANA STRIKE! NOW!] Then he slammed the Space Katana and the Yamato Katana together at their hilts. [YES! KATANA STRIKE!] Vergil ran his left glove and the Angel Ring up the back of the two swords. [UNDERSTAND?!] Silver magical energy covered both of the Space Katana and the Yamato Katana as he spun around twice. “Rising Star!” Vergil jumped into the air, cutting a long silver glowing vertical wound into the Wiseman Spawn Phantom’s face.

The Phantom howled in rage as it made to bring its large arm down on Vergil. Who quickly switched the Angel Ring for the Nephilim Ring, pressed his Wizard Driver’s left Shift Lever and then scanned his left glove over his Wizard Driver’s Hand Author. [NEPHILIM!] Vergil held his left glove out in front of him and his nephilim magic circle appeared before moving back through him. [NOW!] Transforming him into his Nephilim Style. Vergil pressed his Wizard Driver’s left Shift Lever once and scanned his left glove across his Wizard Driver’s Hand Author. [YES! KICK STRIKE!] Just before the Wiseman Spawn Phantom’s fist could hit him, Vergil vanished in a burst of dark blue magical energy. [UNDERSTAND!?] The Wiseman Spawn Phantom’s fist slammed into the ground as Vergil appeared over its head in another burst of dark blue magical energy.

Vergil pressed the fifth button on the Space Sheath. [FIVE!] Blood red and light blue magical energy covered the Yamato Katana. [KATANA STRIKE! NOW!] He pulled the Yamato Katana out of the Space Sheath and went shooting down, slamming his sword into the Wiseman Spawn Phantom’s head. Sparks flew from the contact point as the Phantom howled in pain.

All of a sudden, the Wiseman Spawn Phantom grew some sort of stalk from its back that fired a blast of black lightning, trapping Vergil. 

“VERGIL!” yelled Dante. He jumped towards the Wiseman Spawn Phantom as he slammed the Nephilim Ring into the Rebellion Blade’s slot. [FIVE!] The Rebellion Blade’s mouth slammed shut and then opened to reveal five blood red and light blue dots. [NEPHILIM SABER STRIKE!] Dante quickly pressed down on the Rebellion Blade’s trigger as he thrust the sword out in front of him. [NEPHILIM SABER STRIKE!] Blood red and light blue magical energy blazed around the Rebellion Blade. “Stinger!” he roared as the Rebellion Blade was stabbed into the Wiseman Spawn Phantom’s third eye, making sparks explode from it.

Dante backflipped and landed on the ground as he punched the Nephilim Ring into the Rebellion Blade’s slot once more. [SIX!] The mouth closed, then opened to reveal a single extra light blue and blood red dot. [NEPHILIM SABER STRIKE!] Dante jumped into the air and punched the Nephilim Ring into his Driver’s left slot before turning his wrist forwards. [GO! KICK STRIKE!] Dante covered his right boot in blood red and light blue magical energy. “Trillion Stabs!” roared Dante as he started to kick the Wiseman Spawn Phantom at speeds that were fast enough to leave after images of his right boot. Dante jumped back as an explosion went off from the Wiseman Spawn Phantom.

Dante landed on the ground. “Oh no!” he muttered as the Wiseman Spawn Phantom gained another stalk and trapped him with more black lightning.

The Wiseman Spawn Phantom approached Dante and was about to crush him. “Hey!” shouted a voice. The Phantom turned and saw Sunset approaching as she scanned her Driver On Ring over her belt buckle. [DRIVER ON!] A magic circle appeared and made Sunset’s belt transform into her Wizard Driver. [PLEASE!] “Try picking on me!” she pressed her Wizard Driver’s left Shift Lever, making its Hand Author flip to the left. [MAGICAL TOUCH HENSHIN!] “Henshin!” shouted Sunset as she scanned the Active Ring across her Wizard Driver’s Hand Author. [ACTIVE PLEASE!] Sunset held her left hand out to the side, the active magic circle appeared before moving over her. [LET’S GO!] Transforming Sunset Shimmer Sparda into Kamen Rider Symbol Active Style.

Symbol quickly dodged to the side as the Wiseman Spawn Phantom brought it fist down on the ground where she had just been standing. She quickly hit her Wizard Driver’s left Shift Lever three times. [MAGICAL TOUCH GO!] Symbol scanned the Active Ring across her Wizard Driver’s Hand Author. [ACTIVE! A RANK SPELL!] Red lightning sparked around her body before she pressed her Wizard Driver’s left Shift Lever four times. [MAGICAL TOUCH GO! VERY NICE!] Symbol dashed forwards and jumped over a swat from the Wiseman Spawn Phantom’s smaller arm as she scanned the Active Ring across her Wizard Driver’s Hand Author. [ACTIVE! S RANK SPELL! THE BEST!] The red lightning that was sparking around Symbol’s body was pulled into her right boot. “Lightning Strike!” shouted Symbol as she jumped into the air and did a backflip kick. Nailing the Wiseman Spawn Phantom in the chin and making it stumble backwards before it punched her out of the air and into the ground with its big arm.

“Ok,” groaned Symbol as she pulled herself out of the ground. “Maybe getting into close combat with this Phantom is a bad idea!” Symbol switched the Active Ring for the Burst Ring and pressed her Wizard Driver’s left Shift Lever. [MAGICAL TOUCH HENSHIN!] Symbol scanned her left glove across her Wizard Driver’s Hand Author as she dodged a beam of magical energy from the Wiseman Spawn Phantom’s left eye. [BURST PLEASE!] She jumped over another beam and held her left glove out to the side with the palm facing backwards. The burst magic circle appeared behind her and moved through Symbol. [CAST THE SPELL!] Transforming Symbol into the Burst Style. She hit her Wizard Driver’s left Shift Lever twice. [MAGICAL TOUCH GO!] Symbol scanned her left glove across her Wizard Driver’s Hand Author. [BURST! B RANK SPELL!] Water vapour in the air started to cool before freezing into four shurikens made of ice. “Better go for broke!” Symbol slammed her glove down on her Wizard Driver’s left Shift Lever four times. [MAGICAL TOUCH GO! VERY NICE!] She scanned her left glove across her Wizard Driver’s Hand Author. [BURST! S RANK SPELL! THE BEST!] Symbol held out her left glove as the shurikens were covered in a blue glow, they slammed together, breaking apart and combining into a single large shuriken. “Ice Shuriken!” it shot forwards but shattered against a shield of black magical energy.

“SERIOUSLY?!” shouted Symbol in anger. “Time to try out a new form!” she placed the Dust and Glass Rings on her right index and ring fingers before pressing her Wizard Driver’s right Shift Lever. [MAGIC TOUCHIE HENSHIN!] Symbol scanned her right glove across her Wizard Driver’s Hand Author. [DUST GLASS PLEASE!] She held her right glove out to the side with her palm facing backwards, the dust and glass magic circles appeared before they moved through her. 

Her gloves gained silver crystal armour on the back of her hands and knuckles. Silver crystal armoured appeared on the back of Symbol’s elbows. Symbol’s shoulder and knee armour gained a silver reflective sheen. Silver armour that looked like it was made of crystal appeared on the top and sides of her boots. Segmented brown armour that looked to be made from thousands of hexagons appeared on Symbol’s shins and around her upper legs. Brown armour that was segmented appeared around Symbol’s upper arms and on her forearms, it looked to be made of hundreds of brown octagons. Finally, the bronze hexagon on Symbol’s chest plate turned into a pair of logos, the left of which was a brown broom logo and the other was a silver crystal logo. 

This is Kamen Rider Symbol in her Burst Dust Glass Style, while she might not have a weapon, her magic more than makes up for it.

Symbol saw the Wiseman Spawn Phantom fire another beam, this one came from its left eye and transformed into a hundred energy bolts. “Not getting hit by that!” muttered Symbol as she pressed her Wizard Driver’s right Shift Lever once. [MAGIC TOUCHIE GO!] Just before the bolts reached her, Symbol scanned her right glove over her Wizard Driver’s Hand Author. [DUST MAGIC PLEASE!] She held out her right glove and there was a giant flash of white light. The Wiseman Spawn Phantom roared in pain as it covered its eyes with its large arm. When the light died down and it finished blinking the spots out of its eyes, Symbol had vanished.

The Wiseman Spawn Phantom looked around in confusion, not seeing Symbol hiding behind a pillar as she pressed down on her Wizard Driver’s right Shift Lever twice. [MAGIC TOUCHIE GO!] The Wiseman Spawn Phantom turned towards her as she scanned her right glove across her Wizard Driver’s Hand Author. [GLASS  MAGIC PLEASE!] Thousands of glass shards appeared around Symbol before shooting forwards. Sparks flew as the black energy shield stopped the storm of glass, but that was what Symbol had wanted to happen.

“Finale!” Symbol pressed her Wizard Driver’s left Shift Lever four times. [MAGICAL TOUCH GO! VERY NICE!] She scanned her left glove over her Wizard Driver’s Hand Author. [BURST! S RANK SPELL! THE BEST!] Symbol let white magical energy build up around her body. “Glass Flash!” shouted Symbol as the white magical energy surged outwards in a blinding flash of light. From which came a storm of spears of dust that smashed into the Wiseman Phantom’s shield, with a shatter glass noise, the shield shattered.

“Now’s my chance!” shouted Symbol as she drew the Burst Wand and pulled on its thumb, opening its Hand Author. [COME ON A CAST SHAKE HANDS!] Symbol scanned her left glove over the Burst Wand’s Hand Author. [BURST! CAST STRIKE!] Purple magical energy built up in a sphere in front of the Burst Wand. “Burst Beam!” shouted Symbol as the sphere collapsed into a beam of purple magical energy that roared forwards and smashed into the Wiseman Spawn Phantom. 

Or at least it would have if a second shield had not appeared and tanked the beam, even though several cracks spread through it. 

“ARE YOU KIDDING ME?!” bellowed Symbol as she switched the Glass Ring for the Radiation Ring and pressed her Wizard Driver’s left Shift Lever. [MAGIC TOUCHIE HENSHIN!] Symbol scanned her right glove across her Wizard Driver’s Hand Author. [DUST RADIATION PLEASE!] She held her right glove out to the side with the palm facing backwards, the radiation magic circle appeared and moved through her, transforming Symbol into her new Burst Substyle.

Symbol’s gloves gained yellow armour on the back of her hands and knuckles. Thick green armoured appeared on the back of Symbol’s elbows. Symbol’s shoulder and knee armour gained a yellow sheen with green veins. Green armour with yellow veins appeared on the top and sides of her boots. Finally, the crystal logo on the right side of Symbol’s chest plate transformed into a yellow and green radiation logo.

She is now Kamen Rider Symbol Burst Dust Radiation Style.

The Wiseman Spawn Phantom fired another beam from its third eye, this one split into a pair of beams that came around at Symbol from either side. Symbol quickly pressed her Wizard Driver’s right Shift Lever twice. [MAGIC TOUCHIE GO!] Then she scanned her right glove across her Wizard Driver’s Hand Author. [RADIATION MAGIC PLEASE!] Symbol held her gloves out to the sides a cloud of radiation appeared around her. The beams slammed into it and cleared the cloud instantly, but Symbol had vanished once more.

Symbol saw her opening from behind the Wiseman Spawn Phantom and hit her Wizard Driver’s left Shift Lever four times. [MAGICAL TOUCH GO! VERY NICE!] Before the Wiseman Spawn Phantom had a chance to react, Symbol scanned her left glove over her Wizard Driver’s Hand Author. [BURST! S RANK SPELL! THE BEST!] Symbol fired a barrage of green radiation blasts that exploded continuously against the Wiseman Spawn Phantom’s shield, until with the sound of glass shattering it broke! Several of the shots exploded against the Wiseman Spawn Phantom’s body and a few of them hit its stalks. “Radiation Burst!” shouted Symbol as Dante and Vergil landed back on the floor, free of the lightning binds.

“Leave my Son alone!” shouted Lilith.

“Thanks, sis,” thanked Dante as he walked up.

“You have my thanks sister,” added Vergil as he joined them.

“You can thank me by helping to talk this thing down!” shouted Symbol.

“That’s the plan!” replied Dante.

Suddenly, the Wiseman Spawn Phantom grew another stalk and fired a blast of black lightning at the three Kamen Riders. “No you don’t!” shouted Dante as switched the Nephilim Ring for the Aquila Ring and punched it into his Driver’s left slot. [SET!] Dante turned his wrist back, then forwards, making his Driver’s gate close and open. [OPEN!] The aquila magic circle appeared from Dante’s Driver and deflected the branch of lightning that was heading for him before moving back through him. [A-Q-U-I-L-A!] Transforming him into the Aquila Style. Dante let the Aquila Stars materialize in his gloves as the lightning came back towards him. Dante punched the Aquila Ring into the slot on the Aquila Stars. [ONE!] The light blue dice appeared and spun around once before stopping when it displayed a wind blue one. [SHURIKEN STRIKE!] Dante pressed down on the Aquila Star’s trigger. [SHURIKEN STRIKE!] Light blue wind covered both of the Aquila Stars. “Killer!” shouted Dante as he swept the Aquila Stars together and dispelled the lightning with the light blue wind that came from them.

Vergil quickly pressed down on his Wizard Driver’s left Shift Lever twice. [YES! KICK STRIKE!] Swords of light blue and blood red magical energy started appearing over his shoulders and shooting forwards. [UNDERSTAND!?] They made contact with the branch of black lightning that had been heading towards Vergil and caused it to dispel.

Symbol switched the Dust Ring for the Steam Ring and pressed her Wizard Driver’s right Shift Lever. [MAGIC TOUCHIE HENSHIN!] Symbol scanned her right glove across her Wizard Driver’s Hand Author. [STEAM RADIATION PLEASE!] She held her right glove out to the side with her palm facing backwards as the steam magic circle appeared and passed through her. Symbol quickly pressed her Wizard Driver’s right Shift Lever once. [MAGIC TOUCHIE GO!] Symbol scanned her right glove across her Wizard Driver’s Hand Author. [STEAM MAGIC PLEASE!] She was covered in a purple glow as her body shifted into steam.

“ARGH!” shouted Symbol in pain. Instead of the lightning passing through her, it somehow forced her back into her solid form and started to fry her!

“SISTER/SIS!” shouted Dante and Vergil at the same time.

Vergil switched his Nephilim Ring for his Angel Ring, he pressed his Wizard Driver’s left Shift Lever and scanned his left glove across his Wizard Driver’s Hand Author. [ANGEL!] Vergil held his left glove into the air and his angel magic circle appeared before falling through her. [NOW!] Transforming Vergil into his Angel Style. Vergil pressed the third button on the Space Katana. [THREE!] Silver magical energy covered both the Yamato Katana and the Space Katana. [KATANA STRIKE! NOW!] Vergil jumped into the air while spinning around, slashing the Wiseman Spawn Phantom in the face several times. It gave a roar as Vergil slammed the to Katana’s together by their hilts. [YES! KATANA STRIKE!] Vergil ran his left glove and the Angel Ring up the back of the Space Katana, as well as the Yamato Katana. [UNDERSTAND?!] Vergil landed back on the ground, spun around several times and then jumped into the air, cutting a silver cut into the Wiseman Spawn Phantom’s face. "

Symbol had managed to get out of the lightning and switched the Burst Ring for the Swift Ring before pressing down on her Wizard Driver’s left Shift Lever. [MAGICAL TOUCH HENSHIN!] Symbol scanned her left glove across her Wizard Driver’s Hand Author. [SWIFT PLEASE!] She held her left glove into the air and the swift magic circle appeared before falling through her. [DASH AWAY!] Transforming Symbol into the Swift Style as she pressed her Wizard Driver’s left Shift Lever three times. [MAGICAL TOUCH GO!] Symbol avoided another blast of black lightning as she scanned her left glove over her Wizard Driver’s Hand Author. [SWIFT! A RANK SPELL!] Symbol jumped into the air, letting another branch of black lightning shoot under her as she hit her Wizard Driver’s left Shift Lever four times. [MAGICAL TOUCH GO! VERY NICE!] She slid under another blast of black lightning and scanned her left glove again. [SWIFT! S RANK SPELL! THE BEST!] Symbol held the Swift Ring into the air as five bolts of yellow magical energy shot through the ceiling. “Swift Fall!” shouted Symbol as they slammed into the Wiseman Spawn Phantom’s back making sparks explode from it. Or at least they would have had the shield not sprung up and blocked them.

“This is getting a little silly!” shouted Dante as he punched the Aquila Ring into the Aquila Star’s slot. [FOUR!] The wind blue dice appeared and rolled around several times before stopping on four light blue dots. [SHURIKEN STRIKE!] Before throwing them, Dante pressed down on the Aquila Star’s trigger. [SHURIKEN STRIKE!] Dante pulled back the Aquila Stars and hurled them forwards. “Round Trip!” he roared as the two Aquila Stars cloned into five more Aquila Stars. They circled the Wiseman Spawn Phantom, cutting into its shield and making sparks come from it.

“For once, we are in agreement!” shouted Vergil as he pressed the first button on the Space Katana. [ONE!] Silver magical energy covered both of his swords as Vergil started to run. [KATANA STRIKE! NOW!] Then he slammed both the Space Katana and the Yamato Katana together at the hilts. [YES! KATANA STRIKE!] Vergil ran his left glove across the back of both swords and covered them in silver magical energy. [UNDERSTAND?!] He jumped into the air and spun around ten times, slashing at the Wiseman Spawn Phantom’s shield five times on each spin. “Rapid Slash! Oh shit!” whispered Vergil before shouting as he was blasted away by three beams, one from each of the Wiseman Spawn Phantom’s eyes. 

“VERGIL!” shouted both Dante and Symbol at the same time. 

Symbol added the Arrow and Blade Rings to her right glove before striking her Wizard Driver’s right Shift Lever. [MAGIC TOUCHIE HENSHIN!] Symbol scanned her right glove over her Wizard Driver’s Hand Author. [ARROW BLADE PLEASE!] She held her right glove into the air as she jumped over a beam, the two magic circle appeared in the air and she passed through them, transforming into Swift Arrow Blade Style. She allowed the Buzz Bow to appear in her right glove as she hit her Wizard Driver’s left Shift Lever once. [MAGIC TOUCHIE GO!] Symbol scanned her right glove across her Wizard Driver’s Hand Author as she took aim with the Buzz Bow. [ARROW MAGIC PLEASE!] From which she fired six blasts of wind that shifted into the shape of buzzsaws. They slammed into the Wiseman Spawn Phantom’s shield and knocked it off balance.

Dante quickly punched the Aquila Ring into the Aquila Star’s slot. [FIVE!] The wind blue dice appeared and spun around several times before stopping when it showed five light blue stars. [SHURIKEN STRIKE!] Dante covered his body in the light blue wind as he pressed down on the Aquila Star’s trigger. [SHURIKEN STRIKE!] The light blue wind around Dante’s body raged as he charged. “Caliber!” shouted Dante as he slammed into the Wiseman Spawn Phantom’s shield, slashing it with both of the Aquila Stars, cutting a pair of glowing light blue lines into it.

Dante jumped back as he punched the Aquila Ring into his Driver’s left slot and turned his wrist forwards. [KICK STRIKE GO!] Light blue wind burst into being around his body as he kicked off the ground and shot forwards. “Caliber!” roared Dante as he spun around and slammed his right boot into the Wiseman Spawn Phantom’s shield, making sparks fly from the impact.

Symbol replaced the Blade Ring with the Sniper Ring and pressed her Wizard Driver’s right Shift Lever once. [MAGIC TOUCHIE HENSHIN!] She scanned her right glove across her Wizard Driver’s Hand Author as she dodged around several more blasts. [ARROW SNIPER PLEASE!] Symbol held her right glove into the air, making the sniper magic circle appear over her helmet, she jumped up through it, avoiding another beam as she transformed into her new Swift Substyle.

Symbol’s right shoulder guard had turned dark blue and curved downwards, her arms had lost the orange armour. Her right forearm and forearm guard had turned blue while her right wristlet had transformed into a blue ammo belt. The red buzzsaw logo on the right side of her chest plate had transformed into a blue crosshair logo. A blue crossbow with green outlines appeared in her left glove.

She is now Kamen Rider Symbol, Swift Arrow Sniper Style and is armed with the Sniper Crossbow.

Symbol took aim and crouched down on one knee as she pressed her Wizard Driver’s right Shift Lever once. [MAGIC TOUCHIE GO!] Symbol scanned her right glove over her Wizard Driver’s Hand Author as green magical energy gathered around the Sniper Crossbow. [ARROW MAGIC PLEASE!] Symbol fired a green arrow made of wind that soared through the air and slammed into the Wiseman Spawn Phantom’s shield, making sparks come from the impact as cracks spread through the shield before with a loud cracking sound the shield shattered!

“Nice one sis!” shouted Dante as he jumped over another blast of black lightning and punched the Aquila Ring into the Aquila Star’s slot. [SIX!] Dante jumped into the air and started spinning as the wind blue dice appeared, it spun around several times before stopping when it displayed six light blue dots. [SHURIKEN STRIKE!] Light blue wind wrapped around Dante as he started spinning, only to be blocked by the second shield.

“WHAT THE HELL!?” shouted Dante as he was forced to boost himself over the Wiseman Spawn Phantom’s giant arm. He flipped through the air and landed on the ground, stumbling a little with the landing. “Since when does this thing have a second shield?!” shouted Dante in shock.

“Didn’t you see it from where you were trapped?” asked Symbol. 

“NO! Me and Vergil were a little busy trying to get out of those lightning traps!” bellowed Dante.

“Huh?” Symbol tilted her helmet to the side. “I probably should have told you then,” she stated sheepishly.

“YES YOU SHOULD HAVE!” roared Dante.

“AND YOU SHOULD MOVE!” shouted Symbol as she slammed her right glove down on her Wizard Driver’s left Shift Lever. [MAGICAL TOUCH GO!] Then she scanned her left glove over her Wizard Driver’s Hand Author. [SWIFT! B RANK SPELL!] Symbol’s body was covered in yellow magical energy as she dashed away. 

“What are you-?! Crap!” shouted Dante as he turned around and saw the Wiseman Spawn Phantom fire a beam from its third eye which split into two, one of them headed towards him while the other arced away after Symbol. Dante quickly punched the Aquila Ring into his Driver’s left slot and turned his wrist forwards. [KICK STRIKE GO!] Light blue wind surrounded Dante and he raced away a second before the beam was able to make contact with him. Noticing that Symbol had lead her beam back into the Wiseman Spawn Phantom’s shield, he did the same making explosions come from the impact point.

Symbol took aim with the Sniper Crossbow as she pressed her Wizard Driver’s right Shift Lever twice. [MAGIC TOUCHIE GO!] Symbol scanned her right glove over her Wizard Driver’s Hand Author. [SNIPER MAGIC PLEASE!] Dark blue magical energy started to gather around the tip of the Sniper Crossbow. “Take this!” roared Symbol as she pulled the trigger, firing a massive beam of dark blue magical energy. It was about as thick as a caravan and closed the distance in an instant. It slammed into the Wiseman Spawn Phantom’s shield with a loud explosion and made the Phantom stumble back several paces from the force.

Dante drew the Revenant Shotgun and pulled open its barrels, he punched the Aquila Ring into the left barrel. [AQUILA!] Then he did the same to the right slot. [AQUILA!] Dante slammed the Revenant Shotgun closed. [HALF CHARGE! FULLY CHARGED!] Then Dante took aim as light blue magical energy gathered around the Revenant Shotgun’s barrels. Dante pulled the trigger and out of the barrels came a storm of tiny Aquila Stars that slammed into the Wiseman Spawn Phantom’s shield and made sparks explode from it.

Symbol saw her opening and pressed her Wizard Driver’s left Shift Lever four times. [MAGICAL TOUCH GO! VERY NICE!] She got down on one knee guard as she scanned her left glove over her Wizard Driver’s Hand Author. [SWIFT! S RANK SPELL! THE BEST!] Symbol look down the Sniper Crossbow as blue magical energy gathered at the tip of it. “Arrow Buster!” she pulled the trigger and the Sniper Crossbow fired a beam of blue magical energy, the tip of which was in the shape of an arrow. It closed the distance in a heartbeat as it slammed into the Wiseman Spawn Phantom’s shield and made a crack spread through it.

“Time for a bit more power!” Dante switched the Aquila Ring for the Arbiter Ring and punched it into his Driver’s left slot. [SET!] Dante turned his wrist back, then forwards, making his Driver’s gate close and open. [OPEN!] The arbiter magic circle appeared from Dante’s Driver and moved back through him. [A-R-B-I-T-E-R!] Transforming Dante into the Arbiter Style. He drew the Arbiter Axe and punched the Arbiter Ring into its slot. [ONE!] The blood red dice appeared and spun around several times before stopping when it showed a single flame red dot. [AXE STRIKE!] Datne swung the Arbiter Axe down, firing a spinning energy construct in the form of an axe head that slammed into the shield and made sparks explode from it as it ground away. The cracks started to get bigger.

Dante pressed down on the Arbiter Axe’s trigger. [AXE STRIKE!] He pulled back the Arbiter Axe as red magical energy raced up the Arbiter Axe’s shaft and into the blade. “Flush!” yelled Dante as he swung the Arbiter Axe down and fired a beam of red magical energy, the tip of which shifted into the form of a spinning axe head that slammed into the Wiseman Spawn Phantom’s shield, grinding sparks out of it. 

Wanting to keep up the pressure, Dante jumped into the air as he punched the Arbiter Ring into his Driver’s left slot and turned his wrist forwards. [GO! KICK STRIKE!] Red magical energy surged from his Driver and into his right boot. “Aerial Flush!” shouted Dante as he kicked out. The magical energy shot off and formed into an axe head construct that spun through the air and slammed into the shield making more cracks spread through it as it spun.

Symbol switched the Swift Ring for the Giga Ring and pressed her Wizard Driver’s left Shift Lever. [MAGICAL TOUCH HENSHIN!] Then she scanned her left glove across her Wizard Driver’s Hand Author. [GIGA PLEASE!] Symbol held her left glove down to the ground, the giga magic circle appeared under her boots and rose up through her. [BREAK THROUGH!] Transforming her into the Giga Style. Symbol quickly hit her Wizard Driver’s left Shift Lever twice. [MAGICAL TOUCH SPELL!] Then she scanned her left glove over her Wizard Driver’s Hand Author. [GIGA B RANK SPELL!] She slammed her left glove into the ground and out of which came a pair of green magical energy lines that slammed into the Wiseman Spawn Phantom’s shield, making more cracks spread through it.

Suddenly, the Wiseman Spawn Phantom charged magical energy into all three of its eyes and fired a trio of beams with no time to dodge, Symbol had no choice but to tank it as he pressed her Wizard Driver’s left Shift Lever three times. [MAGICAL TOUCH SPELL!] Symbol scanned her left glove across her Wizard Driver’s Hand Author as she crossed her arms. [GIGA A RANK SPELL!] Her body was covered in green magical energy which she focused into her forearm guards as the beam crashed into her, making Symbol slide back several paces before her boots got a grip on the ground.

“SUNSET!” shouted Dante as he ran towards her.

“DANTE DON’T!” shouted Symbol.

He skidded to a halt.

“I’LL HOLD IT! YOU BREAK THAT SHIELD!” shouted Symbol as she struggled with the three beams.

“No more messing around!” Dante switched the Arbiter Ring for the Trigger Ring in its Angel Mode, he punched it into his Driver’s left slot. [TRIGGER!] Dante turned his wrist back, then forwards, making his Driver’s gate close and open. [GO ANGEL!] The angel magic circle appeared out of his Driver and moved back through Dante. [AN-AN-AN-ANGEL!] Transforming him into the Angel Trigger Style. Dante grabbed the Rebellion Magnum in its Aquila Mode and punched the Trigger Ring Angel Mode into the back of it. [ANGEL TWO!] A light blue one with wind blue outlines appeared next to the Rebellion Magnum’s skull. [MAGNUM STRIKE!] Dante took aim and pulled the trigger, firing a pair of blasts that slammed into the Wiseman Spawn Phantom’s shield and caused it to shatter, stopping its beams in the process.

“All right! Now to capture them!” shouted Dante as he pressed down on the Rebellion Magnum’s trigger. [MAGNUM STRIKE!] He held the trigger down, letting ten rings of light blue magical energy get pulled into the Rebellion Magnum. [ANGEL!] Dante took aim and let go of the trigger, the Rebellion Magnum fired a pair of light blue beams of magical energy. Dante was forced back several feet by the recoil. “Buy In!” he shouted as the two beams spiralled through the air, only to dissipate against a third shield.

“ARE YOU FUCKING KIDDING ME?!” roared Dante right before he was blasted in the chest by another beam from the Wiseman Spawn Phantom.

“DANTE!” shouted Symbol as her brother was sent flying past her. A flash of bright blue light indicated he had returned to his human form. Suddenly, she heard the sound of energy charging and spun around right as another three beams of magical energy slammed into her and sent her flying. “ARGH!” micro explosions went off around Symbol as sparks came from her body. She smashed through three pillars before being engulfed by an explosion and returning to her human form.

Vergil had finally regained consciousness just in time to witness the horrific sight of Dante and Sunset being defeated. He let a new ring appear in his left glove before sliding it onto his left middle finger. The ring was silver with a golden gem in the centre that had a silver downwards pointing arrow engraved into it. This is the Gravity Trigger Ring. Vergil pressed down on his Wizard Driver’s right Shift Lever and scanned his right glove across it. [GRAVITY TRIGGER!] Vergil held his right glove down to the ground and a new magic circle appeared. It was a golden downwards pointing arrow, within a golden circle, within a golden square, within a second golden circle that had two layers and green runic text within the two layers. [NOW!] The magic circle rose up through Vergil, transforming him into his second Upgraded Form. “Henshin,” whispered Vergil as he felt the transformation take place.

His faceplate was now in the shape of a golden gem with a silver framework. The rest of his helmet could not be seen as it had a white hood around it that had golden arrows engraved into it along with red and blue outlines. His suit was white with golden arrows along it, attached black gloves, attached white boots, red and blue outlines. Around each of his wrists was a black onyx wristlet with a red and blue framework. Vergil’s shoulders had transformed into a pair of white shoulder pauldrons that had red and blue outlines, they were connected across his neck, also they had golden arrows etched into them. He wore a white ankle length robe with red and blue outlines along with golden arrows etched into it. Coming from his shoulder pauldrons was a waist-length cape that was coloured white had red and blue outlines, along with golden arrows etched into it. Vergil now wore his Nephilim Ring on his left middle finger.

The Space Sheath now had a golden arrow running down the centre of it, as did the Yamato Katana. These are the Space Gravity Sheath and the Yamato Gravity Katana. 

Vergil quickly pressed the first button on the Space Gravity Sheath. [ONE!] Bright golden, blood red and light blue magical energy ran into the Space Gravity Sheath. This also coated the Yamato Gravity Katana within the Space Gravity Sheath. [GRAVITY KATANA STRIKE! NOW!] Vergil ran forwards and slashed the Wiseman Spawn Phantom’s shield as he drew the Yamato Gravity Katana from the Space Gravity Sheath. Golden after images followed the blade, slamming into the shield and multiplying the amount of damage done to the shield by ten.

Then Vergil landed back on the ground as he switched his Nephilim Ring for his Angel Ring. Vergil pressed his Wizard Driver’s left Shift Lever, then scanned his left glove over his Wizard Driver’s Hand Author. [ANGEL STYLE!] Silver magical energy started to run from Vergil’s Wizard Driver into the blood red and light blue outlines. [NOW!] In a flash of bright silver light the outlines turned bright silver as the Space Gravity Sheath transformed into the Space Gravity Katana, Vergil pressed its first button. [ONE!] Vergil let angelic silver and gravity golden magical energy coat both of his blades. [GRAVITY KATANA STRIKE! NOW!] He ran and spun twenty times, making more cracks spread through the Wiseman Spawn Phantom’s shield as he cut into it with the Space Gravity Katana and the Yamato Gravity Katana each of which was followed by an after image of itself the multiplied the damage being done to the shield.

Vergil jumped back as the Wiseman Spawn Phantom fired a branch of lightning from each of its stalks at him. Vergil switched his Angel Ring for his Demon Ring and pressed his Wizard Driver’s left Shift Lever before scanning his Demon Ring across it. [DEMON STYLE!] Golden magical energy started to leak from Vergil’s Wizard Driver, running through his silver outlines. [NOW!] In a flash of golden magical energy the outlines turned golden, at the same time the Space Gravity Katana transformed back into the Space Gravity Sheath. Vergil placed the Yamato Gravity Katana back into it and the two combined into the Space Yamato Gravity Katana. Vergil pressed its first button. [ONE!] Golden magical energy ran through the Space Yamato Gravity Katana. [GRAVITY KATANA STRIKE! NOW!] Vergil swung the Space Yamato Gravity Katana once in an across swing, a second time in a downwards swing and a third time in an upwards swing making the shield come very close to shattering thanks to the two afterimages following the sword and multiplying the damage being done by twenty.

“You shall die!” spat out Vergil in a venomous monotone as he pressed the second button on the Space Yamato Gravity Katana. [TWO!] Vergil jumped into the air as golden energy from his sword was pulled into his right leg and formed a pair of clones on either side of him. [GRAVITY KATANA STRIKE! NOW!] Vergil went shooting down with the energy clones following him, they smashed into the Wiseman Spawn Phantom’s shield and caused the thing to crack badly, it seemed about to shatter from the continuous damage when the shield unleashed a pulse of black lightning that forced Vergil back. “Argh!” the lightning tried to bind him only for Vergil to break free with ease.

He jumped into the air as he switched his Demon Ring for his Angel Ring, he pressed his Wizard Driver’s left Shift Lever and scanned his left glove over his Wizard Driver’s Hand Author. [ANGEL STYLE!] Angelic silver magic energy started to spark from Vergil’s Driver. [NOW!] In a flash of silver magical energy the demonic golden outlines turned angelic silver. The Space Yamato Gravity Katana transformed back into the Yamato Gravity Katana and the Space Gravity Sheath. Vergil drew the Yamato Gravity Katana as the Space Gravity Sheath transformed into the Space Gravity Katana. He pressed the Space Gravity Katana’s second button. [TWO!] Vergil ran forwards as he spun around with both of the swords. [GRAVITY KATANA STRIKE! NOW!] Sparks flew from the Wiseman Spawn Phantom’s shield as both the Space Gravity Katana and the Yamato Gravity Katana were followed by an afterimage that also cut into the shield.

Vergil landed back on the ground and threw himself to the side, avoiding another branch of black lightning as he switched his Angel Ring for his Nephilim Ring, he pressed his Wizard Driver’s left Shift Lever and scanned his Nephilim Ring over his Wizard Driver’s Hand Author. [NEPHILIM STYLE!] Blood red and light blue magical energy started to run up from his Wizard Driver. [NOW!] In a dual coloured flash of light Vergil’s outlines turned from Angelic silver to blood red and light blue. Vergil drew the Yamato Gravity Katana out of the Space Gravity Sheath as he pressed the second button. [TWO!] Vergil ran forwards and slashed the Wiseman Spawn Phantom’s shield once, then twice. [GRAVITY KATANA STRIKE! NOW!] He ended his combo on a powerful spinning horizontal swing that made sparks explode from the Wiseman Spawn Phantom’s shield.

Vergil jumped back as the Wiseman Spawn Phantom tried to crush him, he pressed the Space Gravity Sheath’s third button as he landed on the ground. [THREE!] Vergil drew the Yamato Gravity Katana from the Space Gravity Sheath as he slashed upwards. [GRAVITY KATANA STRIKE! NOW!] A long, vertical line of sparks came from the shield as Vergil used his Yamato Gravity Katana’s momentum to pull himself into the air.

While he was still in the air, Vergil hit the Space Gravity Sheath’s fifth button. [FIVE!] Vergil covered the Space Gravity Sheath in golden energy, feeding the energy into the Yamato Gravity Katana. [GRAVITY KATANA STRIKE! NOW!] Vergil drew the Yamato Gravity Katana and slashed down, using the sword to pull himself back to the ground and scored another line of sparks into the shield until he slammed into the ground, boots first, cratering it.

Eager to keep up the damage, Vergil jumped back into the air as he struck the fourth button on the Yamato Gravity Katana. [FOUR!] Gravity golden, demonic red and light blue magical energy covered the Yamato Gravity Katana from inside the Space Gravity Sheath. [GRAVITY KATANA STRIKE! NOW!] Vergil slashed the Wisman Spawn Phantom’s shield with an upwards slash, he continued with an across slash before ending on a powerful downwards slash. Sparks flew from the shield as cracks continued to spread through it and it was just about to shatter.

“No you don’t!” shouted Lilith. The shield suddenly glowed back and some of the damage repaired itself.

“That won’t be enough!” shouted Vergil as he pressed the sixth button on the Space Gravity Sheath. [SIX!] A large amount of gravity golden, blood red and light blue magical energy were focused into the Space Gravity Sheath and into the Yamato Gravity Katana within it.  GRAVITY KATANA STRIKE! NOW!] “You shall die!” spat out Vergil in demonic monotone as he slashed at the air. For several seconds nothing happened, then the Wiseman Spawn Phantom was covered by a sphere made of energy slashes that tore at its shield, undoing Lilith’s repairs.

“No!” screamed Lilith!

“Yes!” shouted Vergil as he switched his Nephilim Ring for his Demon Ring, pressed down on his Wizard Driver’s left Shift Lever and scanned his left glove across his Wizard Driver’s Hand Author. [DEMON STYLE!] Golden magical energy started to leak out of Vergil’s Wizard Driver. [NOW!] In a flash of golden magical energy Vergil’s blood red and light blue outlines turned golden. Vergil combined his two swords into the Space Yamato Gravity Katana as he pressed its third button. [THREE!] He jumped into the air as golden magical energy covered his right boot with a pair of golden energy clones forming either side of him. [GRAVITY KATANA STRIKE! NOW!] Both Vergil and the energy clones shot down and slammed their boots into the Wiseman Spawn Phantom’s shield making sparks explode from it and micro explosions go off around the shield.

“You shall die!” spat out Vergil in a venomous monotone as pressed the fourth button on the Space Yamato Gravity Katana. [FOUR!] Vergil pulled his sword back as golden magical energy gathered around it and was focused into the tip. [GRAVITY KATANA STRIKE! NOW!] Then Vergil slammed the tip of the Space Yamato Gravity Katana into the ground, a shockwave of golden magical energy roared out of it and erupted from the ground around Vergil.

At least half of the golden magical energy slammed into the Wiseman Spawn Phantom’s shield and with the sound of shattering glass in broke apart like several fragments of a window pane that had a rock thrown at it.

“Now’s my chance!” shouted Vergil, but before he was able to do anything the Wiseman Spawn Phantom grew a fourth stalk on its back and fired five branches of lightning that were coloured black wrapped around Vergil. “No!” shouted Vergil as he managed to switch the Gravity Trigger Ring for the Thunder Trigger Ring. He pressed his Wizard Driver’ right Shift Lever and scanned his right glove across it. [THUNDER TRIGGER!] The thunder trigger magic circle appeared above Vergil and fell down through him. [NOW!] The black lightning was displayed as Vergil transformed into the Thunder Trigger Style. Both he and his Demon Clone ran forwards. Both of them pressed the first button on the Thunder Space Yamato Katana. [ONE!] They both spun around, aiming to slash at the Wiseman Spawn Phantom. [THUNDER KATANA STRIKE! NOW!] Instead they slammed into the first shield.

“No! I was too late!” shouted Vergil. The Wiseman Spawn Phantom started to charge up all three of its eyes for a triple beam attack. [DEMON!] Vergil was about to move when he suddenly transformed back into his Demon Style. [NOW!] He collapsed to one knee guard. “No! I’m out of mana!” he looked up, just as the Wiseman Spawn Phantom fired. 

[MAGICAL TOUCH SPELL!] [GIGA A RANK SPELL!] A green blur appeared in front of Vergil and stopped the beams. His visors went wide. “Sunset!” shouted Vergil. 

“Thanks for buying some time!” shouted Symbol. “Dante!”

[GRAPPLE MODE!] “On it!” Vergil was grabbed by the Demon Pull and yanked behind a pillar.

“Dante, we have to help Sunset!” he protested.

[MAGICAL TOUCH HENSHIN!] [SWIFT PLEASE!] [DASH AWAY!] Symbol had transformed into her Swift Style. [MAGICAL TOUCH GO!] [SWIFT! B RANK SPELL!] She appeared next to them in a blur. “You rang?” she asked. 

“Never mind,” replied Vergil.

“How come you both have two Upgraded Styles and I only have one?” asked Symbol in a near whine.

“And how did you transform like that for so long?” questioned Dante.

“In that order,” replied Vergil. “You had over ten normal forms and with that mix and match power-up you have over twenty so I fail to see how you are in a position to complain,” he turned to Dante. “I got up Upgraded Forms a long time ago, so I have more practice. It’s like a muscle the more you work it the stronger it gets!” now it was Vergil’s turn to ask a question. “How the hell are we going to stop this thing?!” he demanded. 

“I got a look at its back a while ago and again when I was running over here,” explained Symbol. “It had three bumps on its back last time I looked, now it had three more stalks where the bumps were. Each time it grew a stalk its number of shields went up by one.”

“So we have to break through four shields now?” demanded Dante.

Symbol nodded.

“Just great!” groaned Vergil.

“Here’s the plan,” explained Symbol. “I’m going into the Advance Style and you two will be my cover. Keep that thing from hitting me while I break through the first shield. At the second shield, Dante will transform into his Upgraded Form and blast through that one while Vergil and I cover him. At the third shield Vergil will do the destroying. Then with the fourth shield we all transform into our Upgraded Forms and tear it down,” Symbol explained her plan.

“You always come up with the best plans,” Vergil would have smirked if he was in his human form.

“Will you have enough mana by that time?” Dante asked his brother.

“Let’s hope so,” replied Vergil as they jumped around the pillar.

Symbol placed the Advance Ring on her left middle finger before pressing her Wizard Driver’s left Shift Lever. [TOUCH TO ADVANCE YOUR CLASS!] Symbol scanned her left glove across her Wizard Driver’s Hand Author. [ADVANCE PLEASE!] She held her left glove out in front of her and the advance magic circle appeared. Symbol ran through it and emerged in her Advance Style. She hit her Wizard Driver’s left Shift Lever twice. [TOUCH TO CAST THE NEXT LEVEL!] Then she scanned her left glove across her Wizard Driver’s Hand Author as the Wiseman Spawn Phantom fired a barrage of beams from its left eye that transformed into a rain of blasts. [ADVANCE B TIER SPELL!] Symbol’s left elbow guard was covered in yellow magical energy as she vanished and appeared in front of the Wiseman Spawn Phantom, she slammed it into the shield, making the shield develop several cracks.

The Wiseman Spawn Phantom roared and fired a branch of lightning from one of its stalks at Symbol. Vergil quickly jumped in front of Symbol and pressed his Wizard Driver’s left Shift Lever once before scanning his left glove across his Wizard Driver’s Hand Author. [YES! KICK STRIKE!] Vergil made a dagger of golden magical energy appeared over his shoulder pauldron, it shot down into a piece of rubble before flashing. [UNDERSTAND!?] In that flash of magical energy the pillar was pulled up in front of Vergil and blasts to pieces by the black lightning branch.

“Thanks, Vergil!” shouted Symbol as she pressed her Wizard Driver’s left Shift Lever once. [TOUCH TO CAST THE NEXT LEVEL!] She jumped into the air as she scanned her left glove across her Wizard Driver’s Hand Author. [ADVANCE C TIER SPELL!] Yellow magical energy leaked from the rectangle in the back of her left forearm guard. Symbol punched forwards, firing the yellow magical energy in a beam that was twice the size of her fist. It shot through the air and smashed into the first shield, making several cracks develop through it.

Symbol landed back on the ground, just as the Wiseman Spawn Phantom teleported in front of her. “That’s new! ARGH!” Symbol was about to jump away, but a pounding headache stopped her from doing so. 

Dante saw his sister was in trouble and dashed forwards, he switched the Arbiter Ring for the Eryx Ring and punched it into his Driver’s left slot. [SET!] Dante turned his wrist back, then forwards, making his Driver’s gate close and open. [OPEN!] The eryx magic circle appeared from his Driver and he ran through it. [E-R-Y-X!] This transformed Dante into his Eryx Style. He punched the Eryx Ring into the slot at the back of the right Eryx Gauntlet. [TWO!] The flame red dice appeared and spun around several times before stopping when it displayed a pair of blood red dots. [FIST STRIKE!] Red magical energy appeared around the right Eryx Gauntlet as Dante slammed it into the ground. From which came three points of red magical energy that locked around Symbol, stopping the fist from hitting her.

“Thank you Dante!” shouted Symbol as she pressed her Wizard Driver’s left Shift Lever three times. [TOUCH TO CAST THE NEXT LEVEL!] Then Symbol scanned her left glove across her Wizard Driver’s Hand Author. [ADVANCE A TIER SPELL!] Yellow magical energy leaked from the rectangles in her forearm guards bathing her gloves in a soft yellow glow. Symbol jumped into the air and slammed both of her gloves into the Wiseman Spawn Phantom’s shield making more yellow cracks appear in it as sparks came from the Phantom’s shield.

Then Symbol pressed down on her Wizard Driver’s left Shift Lever four times. [TOUCH TO CAST THE NEXT LEVEL! VERY NICE!] She jumped into the air as she scanned her left glove across her Wizard Driver’s Hand Author. [ADVANCE S TIER SPELL! THE BEST!] The rectangles on the back of her forearm guards released yellow magical energy that wrapped around her gloves and blazed as Symbol locked them together. “Advance Hammer!” shouted Symbol as she brought both of her gloves down on the Wiseman Spawn Phantom’s first shield, making it shatter.

With the first shield down the Wiseman Spawn Phantom fired a branch of black lightning at Symbol, she switched the Advance Ring for the Active Ring and pressed her Wizard Driver’s left Shift lever. [MAGICAL TOUCH HENSHIN!] She scanned her left glove across her Wizard Driver’s Hand Author as the lightning approached. [ACTIVE PLEASE!] Symbol held her left glove out to the side, the active magic circle appeared, blocking the lightning as it passed through her. [LET’S GO!] Transforming Symbol back into the Active Style. “Dante! Your up!” she shouted to her brother.

“I’m on it!” shouted Dante as he switched the Eryx Ring for the Trigger Ring Devil Mode and punched it into his Driver’s left slot. [TRIGGER!] Dante turned his wrist back, then forwards, making his Driver’s gate close and open. [DEVIL GO!] The devil trigger magic circle appeared from Dante’s Driver and moved back through him. [DE-DE-DE-DEVIL!] Transforming Dante into his Devil Trigger Style. He grabbed the Rebellion Magnum Arbiter Mode and punched the Trigger Ring Devil Mode into the back of it. [ONE! DEVIL!] A blood red one appeared next to the Rebellion Magnum Arbiter Mode’s barrel. [MAGNUM STRIKE!] Dante pulled the trigger, firing three blasts of red magical energy that hammered into the Wiseman Spawn Phantom’s second shield with enough power to make it start to crack.

The Wiseman Spawn Phantom charged up energy into its left eye and fired a large beam of magical energy at Dante. “No you don’t!” shouted Vergil as he jumped into the air, punching down on the Space Yamato Katana’s third button. [THREE!] Golden magical energy was pulled from the sword and into his right boot. [KATANA STRIKE! NOW!] Vergil went shooting down and slammed his boot into the beam. “Take this!” sparks of magical energy shot out in all directions as the beam was dispelled.

“Thanks, Vergil!” shouted Dante as he punched the Trigger Ring Devil Mode into the back of the Rebellion Magnum Arbiter Mode again. [THREE! DEVIL!] The blood red one transformed into a blood red three. [MAGNUM STRIKE!] Dante pointed the gun at the ground and fired a blast of red magical energy. It shot through the ground and then erupted upwards in a beam that smashed into the Wiseman Spawn Phantom’s shield, making it develop more cracks.

The Wiseman Spawn Phantom roared in rage as it fired a magical energy bolt from its right eye that transformed into a rain of blasts. “You won’t touch him!” shouted Symbol as she jumped in front of Dante and pressed her Wizard Driver’s left Shift Lever. [MAGIC TOUCHIE HENSHIN!] Symbol scanned the rings on her right glove across her Wizard Driver’s Hand Author. [BOOST DEFEND PLEASE!] She held her right glove out to the side and the two magic circles appeared before moving through her, transforming Symbol into the Active Boost Defend Style. The beam was getting closer as Symbol hit her Wizard Driver’s right Shift Lever twice. [MAGIC TOUCHIE GO!] Then she scanned her right glove across her Wizard Driver’s Hand Author. [DEFEND MAGIC PLEASE!] The Defend Shield glowed with grey magical energy as Symbol used it to block the beam. She was forced back several paces as it felt like a freight train had smashed into her but the beam was successfully dispelled.

Dante jumped into the air as he pulled the cylinder out of the Rebellion Magnum Arbiter Mode’s grip and turned it before slamming the cylinder back in, transforming the Rebellion Magnum into the Eryx Mode. Dante punched the Trigger Ring Devil Mode into the back of the Rebellion Magnum Eryx Mode. [TWO! DEVIL!] A earth red holographic one appeared next to the Rebellion Magnum Eryx Mode’s skull. [MAGNUM STRIKE!] Dante took aim and fired, from the Rebellion Magnum Eryx Mode came three blasts of red magical energy that slammed into the Wiseman Spawn Phantom’s shield making it start to crack at three points before the cracks sealed over.

The Wiseman Spawn Phantom fired another blast of magical energy from its third eye that split into two. “No you don’t!” shouted Vergil as he switched his Demon Ring for his Angel Ring, pressed his Wizard Driver’s left Shift Lever and scanned his left glove over his Wizard Driver’s Hand Author. [ANGEL!] Vergil held his left glove into the air, his angel magic circle appeared and fell through him. [NOW!] Transforming Vergil into his Angel Style as he pressed the sixth button on the Space Katana. [SIX!] Silver magical energy covered both the Space Katana and the Yamato Katana. [KATANA STRIKE! NOW!] Vergil dashed forwards and a silver sphere of sword slashes appeared in front of both beams, the second the beams entered the spheres, they were shredded into pieces.

While he was still in the air, Dante punched the Trigger Ring into the back of the Rebellion Magnum. [FOUR! DEVIL!] The holographic two turned into a four. [MAGNUM STRIKE!] Dante pointed the Rebellion Magnum down and pulled the trigger, firing a beam of red magical energy that smashed into the shield making more cracks spread through it, before they healed up, much slower than they did last time.

The Wiseman Spawn Phantom fired another beam from its left eye at Dante. “You shall die!” shouted Vergil as he switched the Angel Ring for the Nephilim Ring, pressed his Wizard Drive’s left Shift Lever and scanned his left glove across his Wizard Driver’s Hand Author. [NEPHILIM!] Vergil held his left glove out in front of him, the nephilim magic circle appeared and moved back through him. [NOW!] Transforming Vergil into his Nephilim Style. He jumped into the air as he pressed the Space Sheath’s fifth button. [FIVE!] Red and blue magical energy were channelled through the Sace Sheath and into the Yamato Katana. [KATANA STRIKE! NOW!] Then Vergil ran his left glove over the back of the Space Sheath. [YES! KATANA STRIKE!] Vergil drew the Yamato Katana from the Space Sheath as it hummed with red and blue magical energy. [UNDERSTAND?!] Vergil shot down. “Helm Breaker!” he whispered as a hard vertical slash cut the energy beam in half.

Dante punched the Trigger Ring into the back of the Rebellion Magnum. [FIVE! DEVIL!] The holographic four transformed into a five. [MAGNUM STRIKE!] Dante pointed the Rebellion Magnum up and fired five orbs of red magical energy that arced into the air and then came shooting back down. All of them slammed into the Wiseman Spawn Phantom’s shield and cracks spread out from the impact point before they started to heal over. 

The Wiseman Spawn Phantom gave out another roar as it fired a beam from its left eye at Dante. “Eyes on me!” shouted Symbol as she ran in front of her brother and pressed her Wizard Driver’s left Shift Lever twice. [MAGICAL TOUCH GO!] Symbol scanned her left glove across her Wizard Driver’s Hand Author. [ACTIVE! B RANK SPELL!] Red lightning covered both of her arms as she pressed her Wizard Driver’s right Shift Lever twice. [MAGIC TOUCHIE GO!] Then she scanned her right glove across her Wizard Driver’s Hand Author. [DEFEND MAGIC PLEASE!] The Defend Shield started to glow with grey magical energy as the red lightning was pulled into it. Symbol held up the Defend Shield and used it to deflect the energy beam away from her and her brother.

“Time to break the second shield!” Dante had seen how slow the last number of cracks repaired themselves and knew this was his opening to break the second shield. He punched the Trigger Ring into the back of the Rebellion Magnum. [SIX! DEVIL!] The holographic five scaled up one number and transformed into a six. [MAGNUM STRIKE!] Dante held down on the Rebellion Magnum’s trigger as ten rings of red magical energy was pulled into it. [DEVIL!] Dante let go of the Rebellion Magnum’s trigger. [MAGNUM STRIKE!] Firing a giant beam of red magical energy that was as wide as a diesel engine was long. “Snake Eyes!” roared Dante as the attack slammed into the Wiseman Spawn Phantom’s shield, all but shattering it.

But then, before their visors, the shield started to regenerate even as it was hammered away at by Dante’s attack. “No you don’t!” shouted Dante as he punched the Trigger Ring into his Driver’s left slot and turned his wrist forwards. [GO! DEVIL!] Dante’s right boot was covered in red magical energy as he ran forwards and jumped into a flying kick. [KICK STRIKE!] Dante’s right boot slammed into the Wiseman Spawn Phantom’s second shield. “Snake Eyes!” roared Dante as the second shield shattered.

Dante jumped back and switched the Trigger Ring for the Nephilim Ring before punching it into his Driver’s left slot. [SET!] Dante turned his wrist back, then forwards, making his Driver’s gate close and open again. [OPEN!] The nephilim magic circle appeared from his Driver and Dante ran through it. [N-E-P-H-I-L-I-M!] Transforming into his Nephilim Style. “Your up Vergil!” shouted Dante.

“Agreed!” Vergil slid his Thunder Ring onto his right middle finger before pressing his Wizard Driver’s right Shift Lever and scanning his right glove across it. [THUNDER TRIGGER!] Vergil held his right glove into the air and the thunder magic circle appeared over his helmet. [NOW!] It then fell through Vergil, transforming him into his Thunder Style as his Doppelganger appeared next to him.

Vergil sprinted forwards and pressed the Thunder Space Sheath’s first button. [ONE!] Thunder green, blood red and light blue magical energy were charged into the Thunder Space Sheath, then into the Thunder Yamato Katana inside the Thunder Space Sheath. [THUNDER KATANA STRIKE! NOW!] Vergil jumped into the air and slashed the Wiseman Spawn Phantom with an across slash, then a vertical slash before finishing it with a diagonal upwards slash.

Vergil’s Doppelganger pressed the third button on his Thunder Space Sheath. [THREE!] Thunder green, light blue and blood red magical energy were pulled into the Thunder Space Sheath, then into the Thunder Yamato Katana within the sheath. [THUNDER KATANA STRIKE! NOW!] Vergil’s Doppelganger slashed upwards, cutting a long line of sparks into the Wiseman Spawn Phantom’s shield as he used his Thunder Yamato Katana’s momentum to pull himself into the air.

The Wiseman Spawn Phantom gave a loud roar as he fired a beam from his left eye at Vergil and a beam from his right eye that transformed into a rain of beams at Vergil’s Doppelganger.

“Not going to happen!” shouted Symbol as she switched the Active Ring for the Burst Ring and then pressed her Wizard Driver’s left Shift Lever. [MAGICAL TOUCH HENSHIN!] She scanned her left glove across her Wizard Driver’s Hand Author. [BURST PLEASE!] She held her left glove out to the side with its palm facing backwards, the burst magic circle appeared behind Symbol and moved through her. [CAST THE SPELL!] Transforming Symbol into her Burst Style. She pressed her Wizard Driver’s left Shift Lever three times. [MAGICAL TOUCH GO!] Then she scanned her Burst Ring across her Wizard Driver’s Hand Author. [BURST! A RANK SPELL!] Symbol saw the rain of blasts getting closer to Vergil’s Doppelganger and pressed her Wizard Driver’s left Shift Lever four times. [MAGICAL TOUCH GO! VERY NICE!] Symbol scanned her left glove across her Wizard Driver’s Hand Author once more. [BURST! S RANK SPELL! THE BEST!] A wall of rock burst out of the ground and broke into fragments. “Earth Wall Assault!” shouted Symbol as the fragments surrounded Vergil’s Doppelganger so that they were hit by the rain of blasts instead of it.

Dante had rushed to cover Vergil’s Doppelganger. He punched the Nephilim Ring into the Rebellion Blade’s slot. [ONE!] The mouth opened to show a single blood red and light blue circle. [NEPHILIM SABER STRIKE!] He jumped into the air and came down with a hard overhead swing, splitting the bam in half but was quickly being overpowered. If he were in his human form, then Dante would have gritted his teeth as he pressed the Rebellion Blade’s trigger. [NEPHILIM SABER STRIKE!] Blood Red and light blue magical energy raced up the Rebellion Blade, covering it in energy. “Helm Breaker!” shouted Dante as he was able to finish his swing, dispelling at least half of the beam from the force of the Rebellion Blade’s swing.

But the rest of the beam was quickly approaching as Dante punched his Nephilim Ring into his Driver’s left slot and turned his wrist forwards. [GO! KICK STRIKE!] Dante’s right boot was covered in blood red and light blue magical energy as he brought it up. “Helm Breaker!” Dante brought his boot down, striking the beam with his heel and causing the last of it to dispel.

“Thanks, you two!” shouted Vergil as he switched the Nephilim Ring on his left index finger for a Demon Ring and the Nephilim Ring on his left ring finger for an Angel Ring. He pressed down on his left Shift Lever and scanned his left glove across his Wizard Driver’s Hand Author. [DEMON-ANGEL STYLE!] Golden magical energy started to come from Vergil’s Driver while silver magical energy came from his Doppelganger’s Driver. [NOW!] In a bright flash of gold and silver light, Vergil’s outlines turned golden and his Doppelganger outlines turned silver. Vergil was now in his Thunder Demon Style and Vergil’s Doppelganger was now in its Thunder Angel Style.

Vergil pressed his Thunder Space Yamato Katana’s first button. [ONE!] Green and golden magical energy covered Vergil’s sword as he ran forwards. [THUNDER KATANA STRIKE! NOW!] He slashed the Wiseman Spawn Phantom’s third shield three times, making several cracks appear in it before they were repaired.

But before the cracks could fix themselves, Vergil’s Doppelganger shot towards the Wiseman Spawn Phantom as it pressed the second button on the Thunder Space Katana. [TWO!] Silver magical energy and green magical energy covered the Thunder Space Katana and the Thunder Yamato Katana. [THUNDER KATANA STRIKE! NOW!] Vergil’s Doppelganger spun around several times, cutting into the Wiseman Spawn Phantom’s third shield.

The Wiseman Spawn Phantom howled in anger as he fired four branches of lightning, two went after Vergil while the other two branches of black lightning combined. They shot after Vergil’s Doppelganger at much higher speeds that it could not outrun, even in its Thunder Angel Style.

Symbol quickly added the Dust and Mirror Rings to her right glove before pressing down on her Wizard Driver’s right Shift Lever. [MAGIC TOUCHIE HENSHIN!] Then Symbol scanned her right glove across her Wizard Driver’s Hand Author. [DUST MIRROR PLEASE!] She held her right glove out to the side and the two magic circles appeared before moving through her, transforming Symbol into the Burst Dust Mirror Style. She slammed her glove down on her Wizard Driver’s right Shift Lever twice. [MAGIC TOUCHIE GO!] Then she scanned her right glove across her Wizard Driver’s Hand Author. [MIRROR MAGIC PLEASE!] A mirror appeared in front of the two black branches of lightning that were shooting towards Vergil. The mirror was able to stop one of them before it was shattered by the second branch.

Symbol quickly pressed her Wizard Driver’s left Shift Lever twice. [MAGICAL TOUCH GO!] Then she scanned the Burst Ring across her Wizard Driver’s left Shift Lever twice. [BURST! B RANK SPELL!] Symbol quickly pressed down on her Wizard Driver’s left Shift Lever four times. [MAGICAL TOUCH GO! VERY NICE!] Water in the air started to freeze over as she scanned her left glove across her Wizard Driver’s Hand Author. [BURST! S RANK SPELL! THE BEST!] Symbol held her left glove into the air as the water in the air turned into four shurikens made of ice. “Ice Shuriken!” shouted Symbol as they slammed into each other, merging into a single giant shuriken that sliced through the branch of black lightning destroying it. 

Dante quickly switched the Nephilim Ring for the Osiris Ring and punched it into his Driver’s left slot. [SET!] Dante turned his wrist back, then forwards, making his Driver’s gate close and open again. [OPEN!] The osiris magic circle appeared from his Driver and he ran through it. [O-S-I-R-I-S!] Dante emerged from the magic circle in the Osiris Scythe. “Hey! Other Vergil!” he shouted. “Lead it back to me!” he punched the Osiris Ring into the Osiris Scythe’s slot. [TWO!] A light blue dice appeared and spun around several times before stopping when it displayed a pair of wind blue dots. [SCYTHE STRIKE!] Dante spun the Osiris Scythe like a vertical propeller as Vergil’s Doppelganger came running past. Dante grunted as the black lightning branch slammed into his makeshift shield and made him skid back several feet with the second branch of black lightning approaching.

“This is gonna suck!” muttered Dante as he pressed down on the Osiris Scythe’s trigger. [SCYTHE STRIKE!] Light blue magical energy surged up the Osiris Scythe’s shaft and into its blade. The light blue wind whipped around the Osiris Scythe and formed into a disk of light blue wind that tore through the first branch of black lightning. “Prop!” shouted Dante as he stopped spinning the Osiris Scythe and fired the disk at the second branch. “Shredder!” the two elemental forces smashed into each other and made sparks explode in all directions. Normally, the wind would have overpowered and dispelled lightning, but the disk had lost too much power against the first branch of black lightning so it was punched through as the branch headed towards Dante.

“Once more: Thank you!” shouted Vergil as he pressed down on his Thunder Space Yamato Katana’s second button. [TWO!] Golden and green magical energy covered his sword as Vergil jumped into the air. [[b]THUNDER KATANA STRIKE! NOW!] Both magical energy colours were pulled into Vergil’s right boot as he jumped into the air and came down with a flying kick, slamming it into the Wiseman Spawn Phantom’s shield.

Vergil’s Doppelganger pressed down on the Thunder Space Katana’s third button. [THREE!] Silver and green magical energy covered both the Thunder Space Katana and the Thunder Yamato Katana. [THUNDER KATANA STRIKE! NOW!] Vergil’s Doppelganger spun around twice, building up speed before he jumped into the air, slashing a pair of glowing lines of sparks into the Wiseman Spawn Phantom’s third shield.

Vergil quickly pressed the Thunder Space Yamato Katana’s third button. [THREE!] Thunder green and demonic golden magical energy covered the sword before being pulled into Vergil’s right boot. [THUNDER KATANA STRIKE! NOW!] He jumped into the air and came shooting down, slamming his boot into the Wiseman Spawn Phantom’s shield, making more cracks spread throughout it.

Vergil’s Doppelganger was still in the air and pressed the Thunder Space Katana’s fourth button. [FOUR!] Vergil’s Doppelganger charged both thunder green and angelic silver magical energy into the Thunder Space Katana and the Thunder Yamato Katana. [THUNDER KATANA STRIKE! NOW!] He spun around several times, cutting into the Wiseman Spawn Phantom’s shield several times with each spin.

Vergil pressed the sixth button on the Thunder Space Yamato Katana. [SIX!] Thunder green and demonic golden magical energy covered the sword. [THUNDER KATANA STRIKE! NOW!] Then Vergil scanned the Thunder Ring across the back of the Thunder Space Yamato Katana. [YES! THUNDER KATANA STRIKE!] A storm of golden and green magical energy covered the sword. [UNDERSTAND?!] Vergil slashed with the Thunder Space Yamato Katana.

For several long seconds, nothing happened.

Then the Wiseman Spawn Phantom was covered in a sphere of green lightning bolts and golden swords slashes. His shield held for several seconds.

Before, with the sound of shattering glass, it broke into pieces.

“NO!” screamed Lilith.

“YES!” shouted Symbol.

“HELL YES!” yelled Dante.

“Lets take out that last shield!” ordered Vergil.

The Wiseman Spawn Phantom roared as it fired four branches of black lightning, two of which rocketed towards Vergil. Only for his Doppelganger to jump in front of him and take the blasts for him. Vergil switched his Thunder Ring with his Gravity Ring and pressed his Wizard Driver’s right Shift Lever before scanning his right glove across his Wizard Driver’s Hand Author. [GRAVITY TRIGGER!] Vergil held his right glove down to the ground and the gravity magic circle appeared before rising up through him. [NOW!] Transforming Vergil into his Gravity Demon Style. 

“We’re on it!” shouted Dante as he switched the Osiris Ring for the Trigger Ring in its Angel Mode. Then Dante punched the Trigger Ring into his Driver’s left Shift Lever. [TRIGGER!] Dante turned his wrist back, then forwards, making his Driver’s gate close and open. [GO ANGEL!] The angel trigger magic circle appeared from Dante’s Driver and he ran through it. [AN-AN-AN-ANGEL!] He emerged in his Angel Trigger Style.

Symbol switched the Burst Ring for the Advance Ring then she pressed her Wizard Driver’s left Shift Lever. [TOUCH TO ADVANCE YOUR CLASS!] She scanned her left glove across her Wizard Driver’s Hand Author. [ADVANCE PLEASE!] Symbol held her left glove out in front of her and the advance magic circle appeared, passing back through her and transforming Symbol into her Advance.

The magic circles of both Dante and Symbol had blocked the lightning bolts that had been heading towards them.

Symbol pressed down on her Wizard Driver’s left Shift Lever four times. [TOUCH TO CAST THE NEXT LEVEL! VERY NICE!] Then she scanned her left glove across her Wizard Driver’s Hand Author. [ADVANCE S TIER SPELL! THE BEST!] Yellow and grey magical energy surrounded her body as it was emitted from the rectangles on her body.

Dante punched the Trigger Ring into his Driver’s left slot and turned his wrist forwards. [KICK STRIKE! GO!] Angelic blue magical energy was emitted from Dante’s body. [ANGEL!] He started groaning as he got into a kicking stance. 

Vergil pressed his Wizard Driver’s right Shift Lever once and scanned his right glove across it. [YES! GRAVITY KICK STRIKE!] Golden magical energy roared around his body. [UNDERSTAND!?] It was mainly focused into his right boot.

All three Kamen Riders jumped into the air, flipped once and came shooting down with a flying kick. “RIDER KICK!” all three of them roared as their charged boots slammed into the Wiseman Spawn Phantom’s fourth shield and shattered it like glass. They carried on and their boots slammed into the Phantom’s face, sending it flying back as micro explosions went off around its body before it was engulfed in an explosion.

The three Kamen Rider’s landed back on the ground as the Wiseman Spawn Phantom groaned weakly before it started to shrink and was retracted into its mother. 

Lilith looked up to see Rebellion pointed at her face, she was scared out of her mind. She was out of energy to control the Slip Dimension and knew that she stood no chance against a single Kamen Rider, let alone three.

Before she could say anything Dante snapped out. “Get up! We’re not going to kill you or Wiseman’s Spawn. We’ll let you both live if you do exactly as we say!”

“Against our better judgment,” grumbled Vergil.

“I will!” pleaded the she-demon. “I’m nothing without this brat!”

“Then get yourself together.”

“I’m worried,” muttered Symbol as she transformed back into Sunset.

“About?” questioned Vergil as he morphed back into his human form.

“If a child had that much power, then how strong will Wiseman be?” questioned Ruby.

Dante transformed back into his human form on that ominous note.
> S1E16 The Trade
> --------------------------------------------------------------------------

The offer had been made, Kate’s life force clone in exchange for the life of Lilith and Wiseman’s Spawn. 

It was a cold day by the docks, Vergil’s car was parked at one end with a SWAT van at the other. Vergil was at the steering wheel with Dante and Lilith in the back. Both were in their Kamen Rider Nephilim Styles. 

Sunset had already transformed into Kamen Rider Symbol Swift Wing Sniper Style and was perched on a crane behind Vergil’s car.

Vergil blinked his lights once, signalling the start of the trade.

The SWAT members piled out of their van while Symbol and Vergil got out of the sports car.

Vergil pressed his Wizard Driver’s left Shift lever twice then scanned his Nephilim Ring over his Wizard Driver’s Hand Author. [YES! KICK STRIKE!] Five swords of blood red and light blue energy appeared on either side of Vergil. [UNDERSTAND!?] They all pointed at the SWAT members.

One of the SWAT members dragged Kate’s life force clone into view and what Symbol saw made her want to shoot all of the SWAT troopers dead. Kate’s life force clone had a bullet wound in her shoulder and had clearly been badly beaten from how she was whimpering in pain. Whatever the life force clone felt, the real Kate would also feel, which explained some things. Like why Kate had been clutching her shoulder when Symbol had healed the bullet wound several hours ago.

Dante pulled Lilith out of the car, then he drew Ebony and Ivory, pointing both of his hand cannons at the SWAT troopers.

Kate’s life force clone clutched her arm as she struggled to her feet.

Dante looked at Lilith. “Move,” he ordered simply.

Lilith and Kate’s life force clone started towards each other, slowly.

Little did either of the two parties know that a third party was watching them.

The atmosphere got tenser and tenses.

The third party pulled out a bow.

The two girls reached the halfway point and pressed paths.

An arrow appeared in the bow and was pulled back.

The two girls started towards the other side of the docks.

The arrow was released. It shot through the air at speeds much faster than physics should allow and Lilith jerked. She looked down in horror at the arrow that had pierced her stomach. “No! Oh no!” she screamed in fear, right before a second arrow hit her between the eyes.

“What the fuck-?!” shouted Dante to Vergil, right before hell broke loose.

With no hostage, the SWAT troops opened fire on the brothers and Kate’s life force clone.

Dante dashed forwards at speeds that made him a blur to the human eye, he grabbed Kate’s life force clone and was back in the car with her, less than two seconds later. “What did you do that for?!” he shouted at his brother.

“It wasn’t me!” shouted Vergil.

“What?!” demanded Dante.

“Did those swords look like arrows to you?!” demanded Vergil.

Dante turned to his sister as she landed on the ground. “Sunset?!” 

“It came from the wrong direction for it to have been me!” shouted Symbol. “Dante, I’m going after whatever did that! You keep Kate’s life force clone and Vergil safe!”

“From what?!” demanded Dante.

Symbol pointed behind him.

Dante gave his sister a questioning look and glanced over his shoulder. His visors went wide as he saw a wave of red magical energy approaching and dragging the whole city into the Slip Dimension. He turned to Symbol. “I hope you know what you're doing sis,” he warned her.

“I do,” replied Symbol.

Dante looked at her for a second and turned to Vergil. “Get her out of here! GO!” he slammed the door shut.

Vergil floored it.

Dante took off after his brother.

Symbol looked around and called out. “I know you're there!” she shouted.

For several seconds nothing happened before there was a loud neigh and a Symbol had to duck to the side as something shot past her.

Symbol glanced at her new opponent and saw that she was a human female, looking to be around twenty-nine. She had fair skin and blue eyes. There was an emotionless glare on her face that was framed by dishwasher blonde hair.

‘That was an oddly specific guess,’ Symbol thought absently as she continued her observations.

The woman wore a dark blue jumpsuit that engulfed her body from the neck down, it had attached red gloves and black combat boots. There were no zippers, no seams and no openings, no way to get in or out of the suit that Symbol could see. The top half of the suit’s chest shifted from blue fabric to ruby gemstone armour. It was the same four the suit’s shoulders, the area between its shoulders and neck, the knees as while as the forearms and shins. A line of red ruby went halfway down the outside of the legs of the suit, then the line moved down to the front of the legs of the suit, connecting to the suit's knees.

The woman was armed with a red bow that had dark blue veins running through it that looked to carrying pulses of red and blue magical energy through the weapon.

She is a Gem Maiden.

She basically looks like Carol Danvers wearing her red and blue Star Force Uniform from the new Marvel Cinematic Universe Captain Marvel movie.

“Huh, I always wondered what Mom’s species looked like,” commented Symbol as if she was talking about the weather.

Suddenly, the Gem maiden pulled on her bow and in separated into a pair of daggers before she charged at Symbol.

“Woah!” shouted Symbol as she was slashed across the chest plate twice before pulling out the Swift Dagger and blocking a slash, before taking another slash across the leg by the Gem Maiden’s other dagger. Symbol pressed her Wizard Driver’s left Shift Lever twice. [MAGICAL TOUCH GO!] She scanned the Swift Ring across her Wizard Driver’s Hand Author. [SWIFT! B RANK SPELL!] The Gem Maiden slowed down a bit, but not as much as Symbol thought she would. 

Nevertheless, Symbol was able to roll under another slash and switch the Swift Ring for the Active Ring before pressing her Wizard Driver’s left Shift Lever. [MAGICAL TOUCH HENSHIN!] Symbol scanned her left glove across her Wizard Driver’s Hand Author. [ACTIVE PLEASE!] She held her left glove out to the side and the active magic circle appeared before moving through her. [LET’S GO!] Transforming Symbol into the Active Style. The Gem Maiden sped up again and slashed Symbol across her faceplate, even as she pressed her Wizard Driver’s left Shift Lever twice. [MAGICAL TOUCH GO!] Symbol scanned her left glove across her Wizard Driver’s Hand Author again. [ACTIVE! B RANK SPELL!] Both of her arms were covered in red lightning and Symbol blocked the Gem Maiden’s daggers. She caught one of the Gem Maiden’s arms and then twisted it, forcing the Gem Maiden to turn around, before kicking her back.

With the slight opening she had gotten, Symbol slid the Boost and Aqua Rings into her right glove before hitting her Wizard Driver’s right Shift Lever. [MAGIC TOUCHIE HENSHIN!] She ducked under another dagger swing and punched the Gem Maiden in the stomach before scanning her right glove over her Wizard Driver’s Hand Author. [BOOST AQUA PLEASE!] Symbol held her right glove out to the side and the two magic circles appeared, knocking the Gem Maiden back as they passed through Symbol.

Symbol’s right shoulder guard turned blue and transformed into a square shape with the top side ticking out and upwards. Her Shin armour turned purple with four vents on them, two at the back and two at the bottom. Golden armour with purple outlines covered the top of her boots and her anklets shifted into solid purple metal with a dark blue line running down the centre of them. Finally, the bronze circle in the centre of Symbol’s chest plate turned into a pair of logos, on the left was a purple boot and on the right was a dark blue ocean wave. 

She was now Kamen Rider Symbol, Active Boost Aqua Style and she was armed with the Aqua Jets. 

“Bring it on!” Symbol pressed her Wizard Driver’s right Shift Lever once. [MAGIC TOUCHIE GO!] She took up a running stance as the Gem Maiden charged, Symbol scanned her right glove over her Wizard Driver’s Hand Author. [BOOST MAGIC PLEASE!] A blast of water was fired from the vents on the Aqua Jets as Symbol sprinted forwards, much faster than the Gem Maiden saw coming and Symbol slammed her knee into the Gem Maiden’s gut, doubling her over.

Symbol hopped back a step, but the Gem Maiden recovered much faster than Symbol had thought she would and punched Symbol in the faceplate. She fell onto her back plate and pressed her Wizard Driver’s right Shift Lever twice. [MAGIC TOUCHIE GO!] Symbol scanned her right glove across her Wizard Driver’s Hand Author. [AQUA MAGIC PLEASE!] Water blasted out of the vents on the Aqua Jets as Symbol got back up while break dancing. The eight streams of water slammed into the Gem maiden and sent her staggering back from the pressure.

With the opening she had, Symbol slammed her left glove down on her Wizard Driver’s left Shift Lever four times. [MAGICAL TOUCH GO! VERY NICE!] Then she scanned her left glove across her Wizard Driver’s Hand Author. [ACTIVE! S RANK SPELL! THE BEST!] Water came from the vents in the Aqua Jets and sprayed onto the ground. Then it rose up into an orb in front of Symbol. “Hydro Storm!” roared Symbol as she kicked the orb. It transformed into a massive horizontal tornado of water that roared towards the Gem Maiden.

Only for the Gem Maiden to dodge to the side and run at Symbol, slashing her across the chest plate with a horizontal swing. “Argh!” shouted Symbol, but the Gem Maiden didn’t let up and slashed her with a downwards swing, then an upwards diagonal swing before dodging around behind Symbol and kicking her in the back of her knee. All of these attacks drew sparks from Symbol’s body.

“Why you-!” before the Gem Maiden had another chance to attack, Symbol hit her Wizard Driver’s left Shift Lever once. [MAGICAL TOUCH GO!] She scanned her left glove across her Wizard Driver’s Hand Author. [ACTIVE! C RANK SPELL!] Symbol covered her left palm in red lightning and spun around, slamming it into the Gem Maiden’s gut then sending a bolt of lightning through her that made the Gem Maiden stagger backwards in pain.

“I need to seal her movements!” muttered Symbol as she switched the Aqua Ring for the Bind Ring and pressed her Wizard Driver’s left Shift Lever. [MAGIC TOUCHIE HENSHIN!] She scanned her right glove across her Wizard Driver’s Hand Author. [BOOST BIND PLEASE!] Then Symbol held her right glove out to the side, the bind magic circle appeared and moved through her, transforming Symbol into her new Substyle.

Her right shoulder pauldron shifted back to normal, while the ocean wave logo on her chest plate turned into an orange chain. Symbol’s left shoulder pauldron, her left forearm and her left forearm guard turned orange, they also gained scale patterns. Symbol’s shin armour turned pure purple and lost the vents, instead, they now had three coils of orange chains wrapped around them that linked them to each other and the armour on her boots remained the same.

She was now Kamen Rider Symbol, Active Boost Bind Style and was armed with the Boost Locks.

Symbol hit her Wizard Driver’ right Shift Lever once. [MAGIC TOUCHIE GO!] Symbol scanned her right glove across her Wizard Driver’s Hand Author. [BOOST MAGIC PLEASE!] She spun around and kicked out, firing a chain of orange magical energy that shot towards the Gem Maiden and wrapped around one of her arms.

Unfortunately for Symbol, the Gem Maiden had recovered and a single hard pull yanked Symbol off her boots and towards the Gem Maiden. While in the air, Symbol pressed her Wizard Driver’s right Shift Lever twice. [MAGIC TOUCHIE GO!] Symbol scanned her right glove over her Wizard Driver’s Hand Author as she spun around. [BIND MAGIC PLEASE!] This fired an orange energy chain that arced around and slammed into the Gem Maiden, causing her to stumble backwards from the force of the blow.

But the Gem Maiden recovered and rammed the hilt of one of her daggers into the side of Symbol’s helmet. “Argh!” Symbol was stunned for several seconds. The Gem Maiden glowed red and started to slash at Symbol at speeds fast enough to leave behind after images of her arms. Sparks exploded in a storm from Symbol’s body as she staggered backwards. She drew the Active Blade and managed to pull on its thumb, opening its Hand Author. [COME ON A SLASH SHAKE HANDS!] Symbol scanned her left glove across the Active Blade’s Hand Author. [ACTIVE! SLASH STRIKE!] Red magical energy covered the Active Blade as it burst into red lightning. Symbol slashed to the side with it, but the Gem Maiden was able to duck back out of the way of the deadly sword.

“That was a dirty tactic!” growled Symbol as she pressed her Wizard Driver’s left Shift Lever four times. [MAGICAL TOUCH GO! VERY NICE!] She scanned her left glove across her Wizard Driver’s Hand Author as the Gem Maiden gave her a look. [ACTIVE! S RANK SPELL! THE BEST!] Symbol jumped into the air as red lightning sparked around her body. “Spike Chain!” shouted Symbol as an orange magical energy chain was fired from her Boost Locks. But the Gem Maiden jumped to the side, only for the chain to wrapped around her. Symbol heaved the Gem Maiden through the air and slammed her into the ground, creating a large dust cloud.

When the dust cleared it was revealed the Gem Maiden had stopped all of that momentum with one hand.

“Ok, this girl is definitely high up in the chain of command!” muttered Symbol as she switched the Boost Ring for the Ice Ring and the Bind Ring for the Aqua Ring. Symbol hit her Wizard Driver’s right Shift Lever. [MAGIC TOUCHIE HENSHIN!] Symbol held her right glove out to the side and the two magic circles appeared, they moved through her, knocking the Gem Maiden away as she tried to rush at Symbol. [ICE AQUA PLEASE!] As the ice and aqua magic circles passed through Symbol, she transformed into her new Active Substyle.

Symbol’s right shoulder guard turned dark blue, transformed into a square shape and the top side of it points upwards and outwards. A bright blue panel with light blue outlines appeared on the outside of Symbol’s right shoulder pauldron. Her upper arm gained a light blue band with a light blue square piece of armour on the outside of it that had a bright blue square within it. Symbol’s right forearm gained a dark blue strap, that held an extra light blue forearm guard on her red forearm guard in the centre of the light blue forearm guards was a bright blue rectangle and coming out of the back of it was a dark blue fin. Symbol’s right wristlet transformed into a light blue bracelet with a bright blue ring going around the outside of it.

She was now Kamen Rider Symbol, Active Ice Aqua Style and was armed with the Frozen Bracer. 

The Gem Maiden got back up and charged at Symbol with her daggers raised. Symbol quickly jumped to the side, one of the daggers barely missed her and she pressed her Wizard Driver’s right Shift Lever twice. [MAGIC TOUCHIE GO!] The Gem Maiden started to turn towards Symbol as she pointed the Frozen Bracer at the ground and fired a blast of freezing cold water. [AQUA MAGIC PLEASE!] It hit the ground around the Gem Maiden’s feet and then it really did freeze over, locking the Gem Maiden’s feet to the ground.

Then Symbol pressed down on her Wizard Driver’s left Shift lever once. [MAGIC TOUCHIE GO!] She scanned her right glove over her Wizard Driver’s Hand Author. [ICE MAGIC PLEASE!] Mist started to gather as Symbol held up the Frozen Bracer. The mist took on the form of several ice spikes that were floating in the air. Symbol pointed at the Gem Maiden and they fired forwards, only for the Gem Maiden to weave her daggers in a pattern that shattered all of the ice spikes.

“Should have seen that coming!” muttered Symbol as the Gem Maiden charged. Symbol quickly pressed her Wizard Driver’s left Shift Lever four times. [MAGICAL TOUCH GO! VERY NICE!] Then she scanned her left glove across her Wizard Driver’s Hand Author. [ACTIVE! S RANK SPELL! THE BEST!] Symbol held out the Frozen Bracer and a ball of ice appeared in her palm. Symbol threw it forwards and the Gem Maiden jumped over it. “Ice Grenade!” shouted Symbol as the ball exploded sending out several ice spikes in all directions that caused sparks to explode from the Gem Maiden as they made contact.

The Gem Maiden recovered extremely fast and charged at Symbol, slashing her across the chest plate twice with her daggers. Then the Gem Maiden jumped into the air and kicked Symbol in the chest plate with both boots, making her stagger backwards with her breath knocked out of her.

Symbol quickly pressed her Wizard Driver’s left Shift Lever twice. [MAGICAL TOUCH GO!] Then she scanned her left glove across her Wizard Driver’s Hand Author. [ACTIVE! B RANK SPELL!] Red lightning covered Symbol’s forearm guards as she crossed them over her faceplate, blocking the Gem Maiden’s daggers. Then Symbol punched the Gem Maiden in the face, making her stagger back. Symbol continued her combo with an elbow to the face before spinning around and slamming her other elbow into the Gem Maiden’s face making her go flying backwards.

Symbol quickly switched the Aqua Ring for the Defend Ring and pressed her Wizard Driver’s right Shift Lever. [MAGIC TOUCHIE HENSHIN!] Then Symbol scanned her right glove across her Wizard Driver’s Hand Author. [ICE DEFEND PLEASE!] Symbol held her right glove out to the side and the defend magic circle appeared before passing through her as the Gem Maiden slid to a halt.

Symbol’s right shoulder pauldron turned grey and pointed outwards with a pair of vertical silver rings wrapped around it. On the end of her right shoulder pauldron was a bright blue square with light blue outlines. The band and armour on her right upper arm remained the same while her second right forearm guard remained the same but it lost the propeller. Symbol’s right bracelet remained the same and a kite shield appeared in her right glove. It was grey with light blue outlines and a bright blue line cutting through the centre of it. Symbol’s right logo on her chest plate changed from a blue ocean wave logo into a grey kite shield logo.

She had now transformed into Kamen Rider Symbol, Active Ice Defend Style and was armed with the Ice Shield.

Hoping to catch her breath, Symbol pressed her Wizard Driver’s right Shift Lever once. [MAGIC TOUCHIE GO!] The Gem Maiden leapt at Symbol as she scanned her right glove across her Wizard Driver’s Hand Author. [ICE MAGIC PLEASE!] Symbol rammed the Ice Shield into the ground and out of it burst a wall of ice that that Gem Maiden slammed into with a loud crash.

“Ha!” shouted Symbol. “Let's see you get to me now!” Symbol mocked the Gem Maiden. 

Then she started to climb up the ice wall, using her daggers as picks.

“I should have kept my big mouth shut!” muttered Symbol as she pressed her Wizard Driver’s right Shift Lever twice. [MAGIC TOUCHIE GO!] Symbol scanned her right glove over her Wizard Driver’s Hand Author. [DEFEND MAGIC PLEASE!] She held out the Ice Shield and a sphere of ice appeared around her.

The Gem Maiden slammed her daggers into the ice sphere only for them to bounce off with a clang.

“Ha! Now you can’t get me!” Symbol just had to invoke Murphy's law again, realising what she had said, seconds after she said it.

The Gem Maiden’s daggers started to glow red as she pulled them back and started hacking at the ice sphere, quickly cutting chunks of it off.

“I really need to learn to keep my mouth shut!” whined Symbol as she pressed her Wizard Driver’s left Shift Lever four times. [MAGICAL TOUCH GO! VERY NICE!] The Gem Maiden was just about through when Symbol scanned her left glove over her Wizard Driver’s Hand Author. [ACTIVE! S RANK SPELL! THE BEST!] Suddenly, a shadow appeared above the Gem Maiden and she looked up. “Ice Avalanche!” just in time to see several tonnes of ice and snow appear before burying her.

“I would say that it’s over, but knowing my luck, it isn’t by a long shot,” commented Symbol as she stared at the pile of snow and ice.

Then the Gem Maiden started to dig her way out.

“Knew it!” commented Symbol. “Ok, since Active Style is not cutting it, let’s try something a little more specialized!” Symbol switched the Active Ring for the Giga Ring and pressed her Wizard Driver’s left Shift Lever. [MAGICAL TOUCH HENSHIN!] She scanned her left glove across her Wizard Driver’s Hand Author. [GIGA PLEASE!] Then she held her left glove down to the ground and the giga magic circle appeared before rising up through her. [BREAK THROUGH!] Transforming Symbol into the Giga Style.

Then the Gem Maiden finally got herself out of the snow and ice pile before leaping at Symbol.

Symbol quickly pressed down on her Wizard Driver’s left Shift Lever twice. [MAGICAL TOUCH SPELL!] As the Gem Maiden approached, Symbol scanned her left glove over her Wizard Driver’s Hand Author. [GIGA B RANK SPELL!] Symbol slammed her left fist into the ground as it glowed with green magical energy. Out of which came a line of green magic, cutting the Gem Maiden off from Symbol.

Only for the Gem Maiden to leap over the energy line.

“Just as I planned,” muttered Symbol as she struck her Wizard Driver’s left Shift Lever once. [MAGICAL TOUCH SPELL!] Symbol then swiped her left glove over her Wizard Driver’s Hand Author. [GIGA C RANK SPELL!] Green magical energy covered her right fist as Symbol pulled it back and decked the Gem Maiden with enough force to send her flying backwards.

Symbol added the Bombardment and Drill Rings to her right glove and struck her Wizard Driver’s right Shift Lever. [MAGIC TOUCHIE HENSHIN!] Symbol scanned her right glove across her Wizard Driver’s Hand Author. [BOMBARDMENT DRILL PLEASE!] Symbol held her right glove down to the ground and the two magic circles appeared before rising up through her.

Symbol’s right shoulder guard turned into a dark blue square with golden outlines, while her other shoulder pauldron transformed into a grey sphere with purple outlines and a purple square drawn into it that had a silver drill coming from it. A silver rectangle shaped box appeared over her right shoulder with a purple barrel coming out of it. The bronze square on her chest plate turned into a pair of logos. On the left was a blue explosion logo and on the right was a purple drill logo with a silver spiral around it.

She was now Kamen Rider Symbol, Giga Bombardment Drill Style and was armed with the Spiral Cannon.

Symbol took aim at the Gem Maiden and pressed her Wizard Driver’s right Shift Lever once. [MAGIC TOUCHIC GO!] She scanned her right glove across her Wizard Driver’s Hand Author. [BOMBARDMENT MAGIC PLEASE!] Blue magical energy built up around the tip of the Spiral Cannon. “Fire!” shouted Symbol as the Spiral Cannon discharged a wide beam of spiralling blue magical energy that raced towards the Gem Maiden at near supersonic speeds.

Only for the Gem Maiden to cartwheel to the side, avoiding the beam with ease as it raced past her.

*BOOM!* 

With a loud explosion, the beam smashed through five blocks of crates at then explode about half a mile away.

Both Symbol and the Gem Maiden were visibly shocked at the amount of power the Spiral Cannon had. 

“So this is a long-range bombardment weapon?” questioned Symbol as her inner weapon geek had a near organism. “I’m going to enjoy playing with this!” she hit her Wizard Driver’s right Shift Lever twice. [MAGIC TOUCHIC GO!] Symbol scanned her right glove over her Wizard Driver’s Hand Author. [DRILL MAGIC PLEASE!] A much tighter and thinner beam was fired from the Spiral Cannon at the Gem Maiden. It was going at twice the speed of the last beam and slammed into her. Forcing her back and smashing her into a crate.

“Ha!” shouted Symbol. “Take that you- ARGH!” the Gem Maiden closed the distance in less than a second and slashed Symbol cross her chest plate before cutting a line of sparks from her arms with a pair of downwards slashes. Not eager to take on any more damage, Symbol pressed her Wizard Driver’s left Shift Lever three times. [MAGICAL TOUCH SPELL!] Then Symbol scanned her left glove across her Wizard Driver’s Hand Author. [GIGA A RANK SPELL!] She was covered in a thin layer of green magical energy that blocked an X slash from the Gem Maiden’s daggers.

Knowing that would not hold for long, Symbol pressed her Wizard Driver’s left Shift Lever four times. [MAGICAL TOUCH GO! VERY NICE!] Then she scanned her left glove over her Wizard Driver’s Hand Author. [GIGA! S RANK SPELL! THE BEST!] The green magical energy around her body raged as Symbol crossed her arms. “Giga Embodiment!” shouted Symbol as she uncrossed her arms and the green magical energy surged outwards, slamming into the Gem Maiden and sending her flying back from the force of the attack slamming into her.

Symbol quickly hit her Wizard Driver’s left Shift Lever four times. [MAGICAL TOUCH GO! VERY NICE!] As the Gem Maiden started to get back up, Symbol scanned her left glove across her Wizard Driver’s Hand Author. [GIGA! S RANK SPELL! THE BEST!] Blue and purple magical energy charged with the Spiral Cannon. “Drill!” shouted Symbol as she pulled the trigger. Out of the Spiral Cannon roared a spiralling beam of purple and blue magical energy, the Gem Maiden dodged it with ease. “Dimension!” finished Symbol as a portal opened in front of the beam, swallowing it. A second portal opened and the beam shot out, slamming into the Gem Maiden’s back and igniting a large explosion across it.

Taking her opening, Symbol switched the Drill Ring for the Quake Ring and pressed her Wizard Driver’s right Shift Lever. [MAGIC TOUCHIE HENSHIN!] Symbol scanned her right glove over her Wizard Driver’s Hand Author as the Gem Maiden started to get back up. [BOMBARDMENT QUAKE PLEASE!] She held her right glove down to the ground and the quake magic circle appeared before rising up through her.

Symbol’s left shoulder pauldron shifted so that it was now identical to her right shoulder pauldron. Burnt orange armour now covered both her shins and wrapped around her upper legs. Her knee armour shifted into dark yellow diamond-shaped armour, while her anklets turned into solid dark yellow metal. Burnt orange armour appeared on top of her boots, while the drill logo on her chest plate shifted into an orange crack logo. The Spiral Cannon transformed, with the main body turning burnt orange while the cannon turned dark yellow and the main body gained a trio of cylinder shaped pistons in the back of it. 

She was now Kamen Rider Symbol, Giga Bombardment Quake Style and was armed with the Impact Cannon.

The Gem Maiden had gotten back up and charged at her once more. Symbol pressed her Wizard Driver’s right Shift lever once. [MAGIC TOUCHIC GO!] Then she scanned her right glove across her Wizard Driver’s Hand Author. [BOMBARDMENT MAGIC PLEASE!] Symbol took aim as the pistons at the back of the Impact Cannon pulled back. Then she pulled the trigger as the pistons fired. Out of the Impact Cannon’s barrel came a shell of orange magical energy that slammed into the Gem Maiden.

Or at least it would have if she had not jumped over it and done a split, letting the shell pass under her.

“Let’s give this one a go!” shouted Symbol as she pressed her Wizard Driver’s right Shift Lever twice. [MAGIC TOUCHIC GO!] The Gem Maiden charged at Symbol scanned her right glove across her Wizard Driver’s Hand Author and the pistons on the Impact Cannon. [QUAKE MAGIC PLEASE!] Symbol fired another shell of orange magical energy, the Gem Maiden jumped to the side, avoiding it with ease. Only for the Pistons on the Impact Cannon to fire and cause the shell to detonate in the air, sending the Gem Maiden flying out of the smoke.

Seeing an opening, Symbol hit her Wizard Driver’s left Shift Lever four times. [MAGICAL TOUCH GO! VERY NICE!] As the Gem Maiden got back up, Symbol scanned her left glove over her Wizard Driver’s Hand Author. [GIGA! S RANK SPELL! THE BEST!] The pistons on the Impact Cannon pulled back as blue and orange magical energy charged around the Impact Cannon’s barrel. “Impact Burst!” shouted Symbol as she pulled the trigger. Out of the Impact Cannon’s barrel came a shell of orange magical energy that slammed into the Gem Maiden. The pistons on the Impact Cannon fired and four pulses of orange magical energy were released from the shell, sending the Gem Maiden flying backwards.

Seeing the Gem Maiden get back up Symbol snarled. “Range combat isn’t cutting it! I’ll have to get in close but keep my distance. Hammer style will be perfect for that, but I’ll add something new!” Symbol added the Hammer and the Drill Rings to her right glove before pressing her Wizard Driver’s right Shift Lever. [MAGIC TOUCHIE HENSHIN!] She scanned her right glove across her Wizard Driver’s Hand Author. [HAMMER DRILL PLEASE!] Symbol held her right glove down to the ground and the two magic circles appeared and rose up through her, transforming her into her new style.

The armour on the back of Symbol’s right glove turned thicker and black. Her right wristlet turned into a solid black metal bracelet, while her right forearm also turned black. Her right forearm guard turned black and shot much thicker. Thick black armour appeared on the outside of her right upper arm and her right shoulder pauldron turned into a black square. Symbol’s left shoulder pauldron turned into a silver sphere with purple outlines and a silver square in the centre of it with a silver drill coming out of it. A black sledgehammer with a silver drill on the front of it and a purple rocket engine on the back of it appeared in her right glove.

She was now Kamen Rider Symbol, Giga Hammer Drill Style and she was armed with the Driller Hammer.

Symbol saw the Gem Maiden charging and pressed her Wizard Driver’s right Shift Lever twice. [MAGIC TOUCHIC GO!] The Gem Maiden made the mistake of jumping into the air as Symbol scanned her right glove across her Wizard Driver’s Hand Author. [DRILL MAGIC PLEASE!] She swung the Driller Hammer around, slamming it into the Gem Maiden’s side and sending her flying. 

As the Gem Maiden shot through the air, Symbol pressed her Wizard Driver’s right Shift Lever once. [MAGIC TOUCHIC GO!] The Gem Maiden landed on the ground and flipped back to her feet before charging at Symbol, just as she scanned her right glove across the Wizard Driver’s Hand Author. [HAMMER MAGIC PLEASE!] With a roar the jet engine on the back of the Driller Hammer powered up, Symbol swung the Driller Hammer, smashing it into the side of the Gem Maiden. But she only skidding a foot as she had managed to block it.

“Oh you have got to be kidding me!” shouted Symbol right before the Driller Hammer was used as a makeshift lever to send her flying through the air. “Argh!” with a scream Symbol smashed into a crate.

*CRASH!*

With that noise, Symbol dented the crate that she had impacted with. “Owie!” groaned Symbol as has got back up. Seeing the Gem Maiden charging at her, Symbol pressed her Wizard Driver’s left Shift Lever four times. [MAGICAL TOUCH GO! VERY NICE!] Symbol scanned her right glove across her Wizard Driver’s Hand Author as she gripped the Driller Hammer in both gloves. [GIGA! S RANK SPELL! THE BEST!] The Driller Hammer’s drill spun and its rocket engine fired as Symbol swung it around. “Drilling Rocket!” bellowed Symbol as the Driller Hammer impacted the Gem Maiden and sent her smashing into the ground with sparks coming from her body where the Driller Hammer and made contact with her.

The Gem Maiden flipped back to her boots and ran at Symbol, slashing her with both of her daggers. “This is getting silly!” shouted Symbol as she pressed her Wizard Driver’s left Shift Lever. [MAGICAL TOUCH SPELL!] Symbol threw the Driller Hammer at the Gem Maiden, catching her off guard as Symbol scanned her left glove over her Wizard Driver’s Hand Author. [GIGA C RANK SPELL!] Green magical energy covered Symbol’s right glove. She recalled the Driller Hammer and used it to block one of the Gem Maiden’s daggers before using the Driller Hammer to pin the Gem Maiden’s arm to a crate. Symbol smashed her right fist into the Gem Maiden’s face. Sparks explode from it as the Gem Maiden was sent flying back and smashed into a crane, causing it to topple over on top of her.

Knowing that it was not over, Symbol switched the Drill Ring for the Terra Ring and pressed her Wizard Driver’s right Shift Lever. [MAGIC TOUCHIE HENSHIN!] Symbol’s theory proved to be correct, as she scanned her right glove over her Wizard Driver’s Hand Author the Gem Maiden exploded out of the crane. [HAMMER TERRA PLEASE!] The terra magic circle appeared under Symbol’s boots as she held her right glove down to the ground and rose up through Symbol.

Her right glove, forearm, forearm guard and shoulder pauldron all remained the same. The purple and silver drill logo on the right side of her chest plate transformed into a black tank tread logo. Symbol’s left shoulder pauldron transformed back into the normal Giga Style shoulder pauldron. Symbol’s boots gained black armour on the top of them with grey armour on the side of them. Her anklets transformed into solid silver metal while her shin armour turned black with grey armour on the side of her lower legs. Her knee armour transformed from silver to grey pads. The Driller Hammer lost its rocket engine and drill, now it had a pair of black tanks treads on either side of it with small silver spikes coming out of them that let them be used as chainsaws.

She was now Kamen Rider Symbol, Giga Hammer Terra Style and was armed with the Ripper Hammer.

The Gem Maiden jumped into the air and came down with a pair of slashes, which Symbol used the Ripper Hammer to block as she pressed her Wizard Driver’s right Shift Lever once. [MAGIC TOUCHIC GO!] Symbol scanned her right glove across her Wizard Driver’s Hand Author. [HAMMER MAGIC PLEASE!] Symbol swung the Ripper Hammer as the chainsaws on either side of it started up with a loud roar. The Gem Maiden crossed her knives to block the first swing from overhead. Symbol spun around and swung the Ripper Hammer upwards, breaking the Gem Maidens guards and knocking her off balance. Then Symbol swung the Ripper Hammer around in a third swing that the Gem Maiden block from the side only to slip and fall over thanks to her ruined balance.

Symbol slammed her glove down on her Wizard Driver’s right Shift Lever once. [MAGIC TOUCHIC GO!] Then she scanned her right glove across her Wizard Driver’s Hand Author. [TERRA MAGIC PLEASE!] The Gem Maiden had just started to get back up when a shadow fell over her. She looked up, just in time to see a giant sledgehammer smash down on top of her, smashing her into the ground.

Symbol pressed down on her Wizard Driver’s left Shift Lever four times. [MAGICAL TOUCH GO! VERY NICE!] She scanned her left glove across her Wizard Driver’s Hand Author. [GIGA! S RANK SPELL! THE BEST!] Symbol pulled back the already giant Ripper Hammer as the chainsaws roared to life. “Ripping Strike!” shouted Symbol. She slammed the Ripper Hammer down again, fully aiming to crush the Gem Maiden and finish the fight with this last strike.

But something unexpected happened.

The Gem Maiden slammed both of her daggers together at the hilts. They combined in a flash of red magical energy, transforming back into her bow. She pulled back on the energy string as it appeared and a red arrow made of magical energy appeared. Taking aim she let the arrow go. It transformed into a streak of red magical energy that slammed into the Ripper Hammer with enough force to stop it cold.

“WHAT THE-?!” shouted Symbol as she tried to push the Ripper Hammer down.

*Crack*

Symbol’s ears picked up a cracking sound.

*Crack!*

It got loud.

*CRACK*

Symbol looked towards the Ripper Hammer.

*CRACK!*

Her visors went wide in shock as she saw cracks spreading through her weapon.

*SHATTER!* 

Before Symbol had any chance to do anything the Ripper Hammer shattered into a million fragments. Sparks flew from Symbol’s body as she was pelted with several shards. She looked at the Gem Maiden in shock, Kamen Rider weapons were ridiculously durable and to shatter one it took an equally ridiculous amount of force or energy.

Suddenly, another arrow shot through the air and slammed into Symbol’s right shoulder pauldron making sparks explode from it.

Before Symbol had any chance to react, another bolt of red magical energy slammed into her stomach, knocking the wind out of her. Sparks explode from her stomach as Symbol staggered back in pain.

Another two bolts of red magical energy slammed int Symbol’s chest plate. Not doing as much damage but still making Symbol fall on her butt from the force and energy they had behind them.

‘She’s getting faster!’ thought Symbol as she was hit by three more arrows of red magical energy, one of which striking her in the face plate and making sparks explode from it as her helmet snapped back.

“Let's see how you like this!” Symbol switched the Giga Ring for the Burst Ring and pressed her Wizard Driver’s left Shift Lever. [MAGICAL TOUCH HENSHIN!] Five more red magical energy arrows came shooting towards Symbol as she scanned her left glove across her Wizard Driver’s Hand Author. [BURST PLEASE!] She held her left glove out to the side with her palm facing backwards, the burst magic circle appeared and passed through Symbol. [CAST THE SPELL!] Transforming her into the Burst Style as well as blocking the three magical energy arrows that had been heading towards Symbol’s faceplate. The Gem Maiden fired four more red magical energy arrows as Symbol pressed her Wizard Driver’s left Shift Lever once. [MAGICAL TOUCH GO!] Symbol scanned her left glove across her Wizard Driver’s Hand Author and held said glove out. [BURST! C RANK SPELL!] Four sparks appeared in the air and ignited into balls of flame that blocked the arrows from reaching Symbol, destroying them.

Symbol quickly slid the Dust and Radiation Rings onto her right glove before pressing her Wizard Driver’s right Shift Lever. [MAGIC TOUCHIE HENSHIN!] Then Symbol scanned her right glove across her Wizard Driver’s Hand Author. [SAND RADIATION PLEASE!] Symbol held her right glove out to the side and the two magic circles appeared behind her before moving through her.

Symbol’s shoulder pauldrons turned toxic green, while her elbow armour turned toxic yellow. The armour on the back of her gloves, the first part of her fingers and the second part of her fingers turned toxic green. The armour on her knuckles, finger joints and fingertips turned toxic yellow. Symbol’s knee armour and the armour on the top of her boots turned toxic yellow, while her knee armour outlines and the armour on the side of her boots turned toxic green. Brown armour appeared around Symbol’s upper arms and legs, while her shin armour and her forearm armour turned brown.

She was now Kamen Rider Symbol, Burst Sand Radiation Style and she had no weapon in this form.

Symbol pressed her Wizard Driver’s right Shift Lever once. [MAGIC TOUCHIE GO!] She scanned her right glove over her Wizard Driver’s Hand Author as the Gem Maiden fired a single large red magical energy arrow. [SAND MAGIC PLEASE!] Symbol pointed her right glove forwards and fired a beam of brown sand that smashed into the arrow and dust it into dust. The beam shot towards the Gem Maiden before a second arrow was fired, holding the beam back long enough for the Gem Maiden to get out of the way.

The Gem Maiden aimed up into the air and fired a storm of red magical energy arrows that arched up into the air before coming back downwards Symbol. “Oh no,” muttered Symbol as she pressed her Wizard Driver’s right Shift Lever twice. [MAGIC TOUCHIE GO!] Symbol scanned her right glove across her Wizard Driver’s Hand Author as the arrow storm approached. [RADIATION MAGIC PLEASE!] She held her right glove into the air and fired a pair of beams both were made of green radiation and spiralled around each other. They made contact with the arrow storm and exploded completely and utterly destroying the arrow storm.

Symbol glared at the Gem Maiden as she pressed her Wizard Driver’s left Shift Lever four times. [MAGICAL TOUCH GO! VERY NICE!] Symbol dashed towards the Phantom as she scanned her left glove across her Wizard Driver’s Hand Author. [BURST! S RANK SPELL! THE BEST!] The Gem Maiden fired a single powerful red magical energy arrow towards Symbol. “Sand Rush!” Symbol transformed into hot sand as she passed through the arrow and slammed into the Gem Maiden with a mighty explosion that sent her flying backwards through the air.

But the Gem Maiden recovered once more and fired four arrows at Symbol. She pressed her Wizard Driver’s left Shift Lever twice. [MAGICAL TOUCH GO!] Then she scanned her left glove across her Wizard Driver’s Hand Author a second before the arrows could hit. [BURST! B RANK SPELL!] Water in the air froze over and transformed into for shurikens made of ice that stopped all four of the arrows, cold.

Then Symbol saw another storm of arrows approaching her. “Where does she keep getting all of these arrows?!” demanded Symbol as she hit her Wizard Driver’s left Shift Lever three times. [MAGICAL TOUCH GO!] She scanned her left glove across her Wizard Driver’s Hand Author and punched the ground. [BURST! A RANK SPELL!] From which burst a wall of solid rock, the arrows slammed into it and massive cracks shook the wall, but it held against the assault.

“I need a bit more defence!” muttered Symbol as she switched the Radiation Ring for the Mirror Ring and pressed her Wizard Driver’s right Shift Lever. [MAGIC TOUCHIE HENSHIN!] Symbol scanned her right glove across her Wizard Driver’s Hand Author. [SAND MIRROR PLEASE!] Symbol held her right glove out to the side and the two magic circles appeared before moving through her.

Symbol’s shoulder pauldron, elbow guards, the armour on the back of her gloves, her knee armour and the armour on the top of her boots all turned crystal silver. The radiation logo on the right side of Symbol’s chest plate turned into a crystal silver mirror logo.

She was now Kamen Rider Symbol, Burst Dust Mirror Style and in this form, she had no weapon.

The Gem Maiden fired five more red magical energy arrows at Symbol, who pressed her Wizard Driver’s right Shift Lever once. [MAGIC TOUCHIE GO!] She scanned her right glove across her Wizard Driver’s Hand Author. [SAND MAGIC PLEASE!] A wall of sand appeared in front of Symbol, blocking all five of the arrows. But then they exploded, breaking apart the wall and sending Symbol flying backwards with sparks coming from her armour.

“Argh!” shouted Symbol as sparks came from her body, then more sparks exploded out of her as ten more arrows of red magical energy smashed into Symbol. She got up and saw another eleven arrows of red magical energy racing towards her. Symbol hit her Wizard Driver’s right Shift Lever twice. [MAGIC TOUCHIE GO!] She scanned her right glove across her Wizard Driver’s Hand Author. [MIRROR MAGIC PLEASE!] eleven more small mirrors made of silver magical energy appeared in the air. Blocking the eleven arrows and when they exploded the force was thrown back at the Gem Maiden, making sparks come from her body.

Pressing her advantage, Symbol pressed her Wizard Driver’s left Shift Lever four times. [MAGICAL TOUCH GO! VERY NICE!] Then Symbol scanned her left glove across her Wizard Driver’s Hand Author. [BURST! S RANK SPELL! THE BEST!] From the ground burst a tidal wave of sand. “Sand Wall!” it raced towards the Gem Maiden and engulfed her, before, in an explosion of red magical energy, she burst out of the sand before it had a chance to try and crush her.

“In that case, we’ll give this ago!” Symbol switched the Sand Ring for the Steam Ring and pressed her Wizard Driver’s right Shift Lever [MAGIC TOUCHIE HENSHIN!] Then, as the Gem Maiden fired another twelve arrows at Symbol, she scanned her right glove over her Wizard Driver’s Hand Author. [STEAM MIRROR PLEASE!] Then she held her right glove out to the side and the steam magic circle appeared before moving through her. 

The armour around Symbol’s upper arms and upper legs turned white, as did her forearm guards and shin armour. The brown sand logo on the left side of her chest plate transformed into a white cloud logo.

She was now Kamen Rider Symbol, Burst Steam Mirror Style and she had no weapon in this form.

The magic circles had deflected the last barrage and so the Gem Maiden fired another barrage of thirteen arrows, these ones bounced off each other as they closed in around Symbol. She replied to the threat by pressing her Wizard Driver’s right Shift Lever twice. [MAGIC TOUCHIE GO!] Symbol scanned her right glove across her Wizard Driver’s Hand Author. [MIRROR MAGIC PLEASE!] A circle of mirrors appeared around Symbol, blocking the arrows and throwing the explosive energy away from Symbol so she was not harmed when the arrows exploded.

Symbol quickly kept up the pace by pressing her Wizard Driver’s right Shift Lever once. [MAGIC TOUCHIE GO!] The Gem Maiden pulled back on her bow and fired fourteen arrows that spiralled around each other before merging into a single giant arrow. “Oh, nuts!” shouted Symbol as she scanned her right glove over her Wizard Driver’s Hand Author. [STEAM MAGIC PLEASE!] A mirror appeared in front of Symbol, absorbing the arrow and shooting it back at the Gem Maiden. It slammed into her and threw her back in a giant explosion.

“Let’s see what this does!” Symbol pressed her Wizard Driver’s left Shift Lever four times. [MAGICAL TOUCH GO! VERY NICE!] The Gem Maiden landed on the ground, right as Symbol scanned her left glove across her Wizard Driver’s Hand Author. [BURST! S RANK SPELL! THE BEST!] Two mirrors appeared on either side of the Gem Maiden, blasting her with a stream of hot steam that made sparks explode from her body.

When the attack ended the Gem Maiden got back up and fired fifteen arrows from her bow. “Oh come on!” shouted Symbol as she switched the Mirror Ring for the Glass Ring and pressed her Wizard Driver’s right Shift lever. [MAGIC TOUCHIE HENSHIN!] Symbol scanned her right glove across her Wizard Driver’s Hand Author as the arrows approached. [STEAM GLASS PLEASE!] Then she held her right glove out to the side with her palm facing backwards. The glass magic circle appeared behind Symbol and moved through her, blocking the arrows as it moved in front of her.

Symbol quickly pressed her Wizard Driver’s right Shift Lever once. [MAGIC TOUCHIE GO!] Then she scanned her right glove across her Wizard Driver’s Hand Author. [GLASS  MAGIC PLEASE!] Symbol held up her left glove and glass stars appeared before they started to spin and swirl into the form of a spear that was superheated by the steam inside it. Symbol hurled the spear forwards, only for it to be smashed into pieces by a barrage of sixteen red magical energy arrows.

The arrows shot towards Symbol as she pressed her Wizard Driver’s right Shift Lever once. [MAGIC TOUCHIE GO!] Then she scanned her right glove across her Wizard Driver’s Hand Author. [STEAM MAGIC PLEASE!] A circle of glass shards surrounded Symbol and blocked all of the arrows, except for one that slammed into her body and made sparks explode from her back plate.

“Nuts!” muttered Symbol. “I think she’s adapted to Burst Style!” Symbol slammed her glove down on her Wizard Driver’s left Shift Lever four times. [MAGICAL TOUCH GO! VERY NICE!] The Gem Maiden fired seventeen red magical energy arrows as Symbol scanned her left glove over her Wizard Driver’s Hand Author. [BURST! S RANK SPELL! THE BEST!] Symbol punched the ground. “Glass Spikes!” she shouted as spikes of glass came out of the ground.

Which the arrows shot straight over.

“How the heck did I think that was going to help?!” shouted Symbol as she slammed her left glove down on her Wizard Driver’s left Shift Lever three times. [MAGICAL TOUCH GO!] She aligned her left glove with her Wizard Driver’s Hand Author and punched the ground. [BURST! A RANK SPELL!] From the ground burst a wall of solid rock, the arrows slammed into it and caused the wall to shatter, but Symbol was unharmed.

“Time for plan D,” muttered Symbol as she switched the Burst Ring for the Swift Ring and pressed her Wizard Driver’s left Shift Lever. [MAGICAL TOUCH HENSHIN!] Symbol scanned her left glove over her Wizard Driver’s Hand Author. [SWIFT PLEASE!] Then she held her left glove into the air as the swift magic circle appeared before falling through her. [DASH AWAY!] Transforming Symbol into her Swift Style.

The Gem Maiden fired eighteen arrows of red magical energy at Symbol as she pressed her Wizard Driver’s left Shift Lever once. [MAGICAL TOUCH GO!] Symbol swiped her left glove across her Wizard Driver’s Hand Author. [SWIFT! C RANK SPELL!] Symbol swiped her right glove to the side and five orbs of yellow magical energy appeared. They shot through the air and slammed into the storm of red magical arrows before exploding, destroying the arrows.

Symbol quickly added the Arrow and Zoomer Rings to her right glove before pressing down on her Wizard Driver’s right Shift Lever. [MAGIC TOUCHIE HENSHIN!] She scanned her right glove over her Wizard Driver’s Hand Author as nineteen arrows of red magical energy were shot at her. [ARROW ZOOMER PLEASE!] Symbol jumped into the air and through the two magic circle as the arrows shot under her.

Symbol’s left shoulder pauldron turned green, it now had three layers and pointed outwards. Her left forearm guard turned green and her right wristlet turned into solid silver metal with an arrow over her left glove. Symbol’s shin armour turned burnt orange, as did the armour on the back of her boots with a spike coming out of each side of her heels. The inverted triangle in the centre of Symbol’s chest plate turned into a pair of logos. The left logo was a trio of green wind swirls and the right logo was three burnt orange speed arrows. In her left glove, a green bow with red outlines appeared. 

She was now Kamen Rider Symbol, Swift Arrow Zoomer Style and she was armed with the Speed Bow.

Symbol quickly pressed her Wizard Driver’s right Shift Lever twice. [MAGIC TOUCHIE GO!] The Gem Maiden fired a barrage of twenty arrows at Symbol as she scanned her right glove over her Wizard Driver’s Hand Author. [ZOOMER MAGIC PLEASE!] She glowed red before vanishing in a blur, getting around the arrows and firing her own arrows from the Speed Bow at the Gem Maiden’s back. Making sparks come from her body as Symbol circled around the Gem Maiden, constantly firing arrows at her back.

Symbol saw that the Gem Maiden was starting to adapt and pressed her Wizard Driver’s right Shift Lever twice. [MAGIC TOUCHIE GO!] She skidded to a halt as she scanned her right glove over her Wizard Driver’s Hand Author. [ARROW MAGIC PLEASE!] Symbol fired over a dozen red and green energy bolts from the Speed Bow, dozens over micro explosions go off across the Gem Maiden’s body.

While the Gem Maiden was reeling from the blows, Symbol pressed her Wizard Driver’s left Shift Lever four times. [MAGICAL TOUCH GO! VERY NICE!] Just before the Gem Maiden could recover, Symbol scanned her left glove across her Wizard Driver’s Hand Author. [SWIFT! S RANK SPELL! THE BEST!] Yellow magical energy covered the Speed Bow as Symbol ran around the Gem Maiden, slashing her with the Speed Bow and making sparks come from the Gem Maiden’s body.

“Last one,” muttered Symbol as she switched the Arrow Ring for the Turbo Ring and the Zoomer Ring for the Blade Ring. Symbol pressed her Wizard Driver’s right Shift Lever. [MAGIC TOUCHIE HENSHIN!] She scanned her right glove across her Wizard Driver’s Hand Author. [TURBO BLADE PLEASE!] Symbol held her right glove into the air and two magic circles appeared before falling through her.

Symbol’s shoulder pauldrons turned light brown with dark brown outlines and pointed outwards. A burnt red band appeared around her upper arms with burnt red armour on the outside of them. Her forearm armour turned red with a trio of burnt red claws coming out of them and going between Symbol’s knuckles. A light brown turbine with dark brown outlines appeared on the back of Symbol’s forearm guards. The logos on her chest plate transformed from a trio of green wind swirls and a trio of speed lines to a brown turbine logo and a red buzzsaw logo.

She was now Kamen Rider Symbol, Swift Turbo Blade Style and was armed with the Turbo Shooters.

Symbol pressed her Wizard Driver’s left Shift Lever once. [MAGIC TOUCHIE GO!] Symbol scanned her right glove across her Wizard Driver’s Hand Author. [TURBO MAGIC PLEASE!] The turbine on the left Turbo Shooter powered up as Symbol punched forwards, firing a large spinning buzzsaw that slammed into the Gem Maiden’s side, grinding sparks out of it.

Then Symbol pressed her Wizard Driver’s right Shift Lever twice. [MAGIC TOUCHIE GO!] She scanned her right glove across her Wizard Driver’s Hand Author as the Gem Maiden started to recover. [BLADE MAGIC PLEASE!] Symbol pulled back her fist as the Turbo Shooter powered up and fired a blast of wind, boosting Symbol’s fist forwards as it slammed into the Gem Maiden’s face, sending her staggering backwards.

Then Symbol hit her Wizard Driver’s left Shift Lever four times. [MAGICAL TOUCH GO! VERY NICE!] Symbol scanned her left glove over her Wizard Driver’s Hand Author. [SWIFT! S RANK SPELL! THE BEST!] A buzzsaw construct covered her left glove as the Turbo Shooter shot her forwards. Symbol pulled back her fist. “Turbo Boost!” then slammed it into the Gem Maiden’s face making sparks explode as the Gem Maiden was sent flying backwards.

“That, should, have, finished, her, off,” panted Symbol.

She spoke too soon.

In an explosion of red magical energy, the Gem Maiden landed on the ground and her bow transformed into a sword.

“You have got to be joking!” whined Symbol as the Gem Maiden charged. Symbol switched the Swift Ring for the Active Ring and pressed her Wizard Driver’s left Shift lever. [MAGICAL TOUCH HENSHIN!] She scanned her left glove over her Wizard Driver’s Hand Author. [ACTIVE PLEASE!] Symbol held her left glove out to the side, making the active magic circle appear and move through her. [LET’S GO!] She drew the Active Blade and locked swords with the Gem Maiden.

But Symbol was sent staggering backwards from the force of the Gem Maiden’s sword. She was slashed across the chest plate, leaving a trail of sparks as she tried to get her balance back. “I need a bit more strength,” grunted Symbol, then she leaned back to avoid a slash across the chest plate. “But I also need some more time!” she pulled on the Active Blade’s thumb, opening its Hand Author. [COME ON A SLASH SHAKE HANDS!] Symbol rolled under another slash and scanned her left glove across the Active Blade’s Hand Author. [ACTIVE! SLASH STRIKE!] Red lightning covered the Active Blade. “Red Slash!” roared Symbol as she brought the Active Blade around in a horizontal swing. The Gem Maiden raised her sword to block, but was shocked by the red lightning and staggered backwards.

Symbol took this opening to add the Slasher and Defend Rings to her right index and ring fingers. She pressed her Wizard Driver’s right Shift Lever. [MAGIC TOUCHIE HENSHIN!] Symbol scanned her right glove across her Wizard Driver’s Hand Author. [SLASHER DEFEND PLEASE!] She held her right glove out to the side and the two magic circles appeared before moving through her. The Gem Maiden had recovered and ran at Symbol, bringing her sword downwards. Symbol blocked with the left Slasher Defend Claw, her knees buckled from the force as she pressed her Wizard Driver’s right Shift Lever. [MAGIC TOUCHIE GO!] Symbol threw the left Slasher Defend Claw up, forcing the Gem Maiden back as she scanned her right glove over her Wizard Driver’s Hand Author. [SLASHER MAGIC PLEASE!] Green magical energy covered both of the Slasher Defend Claws as Symbol punched forwards with her right Slasher Defend Claw. The Gem Maiden blocked with the flat over her sword, only to be hit in the shoulder by the other Slasher Defend Claw and then uppercutted by the Slasher Defend Claw that she had been blocking.

Suddenly, the Gem Maiden blurred and appeared behind Symbol, slashing her across the back plate with her sword. “Argh!” shouted Symbol in pain as she spun around and swatted at the Gem Maiden with her right Slasher Defend Claw. The Gem Maiden vanished and appeared behind Symbol again. But this time Symbol was ready and spun around, blocking the downwards swing with the right Slasher Defend Claw while punching at the Gem Maiden with her left Slasher Defend Claw.

The Gem Maiden was able to disengage and jump back before charging at Symbol with her sword posed for a stab. Symbol hit her Wizard Driver’s right Shift Lever twice. [MAGIC TOUCHIE GO!] The Gem Maiden stabbed forwards as Symbol scanned her right glove over her Wizard Driver’s Hand Author. [DEFEND MAGIC PLEASE!] Symbol crossed the Defend Claws as shields, blocking the attack but still being sent sliding backwards several feet from the force behind the sword.

“Grr!” Symbol switched the Slasher Ring for the Ice Ring and pressed her Wizard Driver’s right Shift Lever. [MAGIC TOUCHIE HENSHIN!] She scanned her right glove across her Wizard Driver’s Hand Author. [ICE DEFEND PLEASE!] Symbol held her right glove out to the side and the ice magic circle appeared before passing through her. The Gem Maiden vanished and appeared in front of Symbol, slashing her across the chest plate. “Argh!” Symbol grunted in pain as she pressed her Wizard Driver’s right Shift Lever twice. [MAGIC TOUCHIE GO!] She scanned her right glove across her Wizard Driver’s Hand Author as the Gem Maiden pulled back for another attack. [DEFEND MAGIC PLEASE!] Symbol punched the ground with her Ice Shield, creating a sphere of ice around herself that blocked the Gem Maiden from getting anywhere near her.

Symbol switched the Defend Ring for the Bind Ring as she pressed down on her Wizard Driver’s right Shift Lever. [MAGIC TOUCHIE HENSHIN!] Symbol scanned her right glove across her Wizard Driver’s Hand Author. [ICE BIND PLEASE!] She held her right glove out to the side and the bind magic circle appeared before moving through her, transforming Symbol into the Active Ice Bind Style. Symbol hit her Wizard Driver’s right Shift Lever once as the ice around her started to crack from the Gem Maiden’s continuous assault. [MAGIC TOUCHIE GO!] Symbol scanned her right glove over her Wizard Driver’s Hand Author as cracks spread through the ice. [ICE MAGIC PLEASE!] Then Symbol punched the ground, making ice spikes burst from it, they locked around the Gem Maiden’s limbs, stopping her from attacking.

Symbol then switched the Active Ring for the Giga Ring and hit her Wizard Driver’s left Shift Lever. [MAGICAL TOUCH HENSHIN!] She scanned her left glove over her Wizard Driver’s Hand Author. [GIGA PLEASE!] Symbol held the Giga Ring down to the ground, making the giga magic circle appear under her boots before rising up through her. [BREAK THROUGH!] Transforming Symbol into her Giga Style. The Gem Maiden broke the ice around its limbs and started to break through the ice around Symbol as she pressed her Wizard Driver’s left Shift Lever. [MAGICAL TOUCH SPELL!] Symbol scanned her left glove over her Wizard Driver’s Hand Author, just as the Gem Maiden broke through the ice wall. [GIGA C RANK SPELL!] Green magical energy covered Symbol’s right glove as she took a slash across her right shoulder pauldron and punched the Gem Maiden in the stomach with enough force to knock the wind out of her.

The Gem Maiden staggered backwards as Symbol pressed her Wizard Driver’s left Shift Lever four times. [MAGICAL TOUCH GO! VERY NICE!] Symbol aligned her left glove with her Wizard Driver’s Hand Author again. [GIGA! S RANK SPELL! THE BEST!] The green magical energy around Symbol’s right glove blazed as she pulled it back and slammed it into the Gem Maiden. Or at least she would have if the Gem Maiden had not blocked with the flat of her sword and both of them were sent skidding backwards from each other.

Symbol used the distance to add the Bombardment and Drill Rings to her right glove before pressing her Wizard Driver’s right Shift Lever. [MAGIC TOUCHIE HENSHIN!] She swiped her right glove over her Wizard Driver’s Hand Author. [BOMBARDMENT DRILL PLEASE!] The two magic circles appeared under Symbol’s boots and rose up through her as she pressed her Wizard Driver’s left Shift Lever four times. [MAGICAL TOUCH GO! VERY NICE!] Purple, blue and green magical energy built up in front of the Spiral Cannon as Symbol scanned the Giga Ring over her Wizard Driver’s Hand Author. [GIGA! S RANK SPELL! THE BEST!] Symbol took aim as the Gem Maiden ran towards her. “Drill Warp!” she fired a beam from the Spiral Cannon that the Gem Maiden dodged. Then she dodged again as the beam was swallowed by a hole in the air and blasted out of a second hole towards her.

Seeing that she had missed, Symbol switched the Drill Ring for the Terra Ring and pressed her Wizard Driver’s right Shift Lever. [MAGIC TOUCHIE HENSHIN!] Then she scanned her right glove across her Wizard Driver’s Hand Author. [BOMBARDMENT TERRA PLEASE!] The Gem Maiden had to pause as the terra magic circle appeared under Symbol’s boots and rose up through her. This gave Symbol enough time to strike her Wizard Driver’s right Shift Lever twice. [MAGIC TOUCHIC GO!] She scanned her right glove over her Wizard Driver’s Hand Author as the Chain Cannons targeted the Gem Maiden. [TERRA MAGIC PLEASE!] The Gem Maiden charged, hoping to stop Symbol before she could fire.

The Gem Maiden was too late.

From the Chain Cannons came a pair of shotgun bursts that slammed into it, sending the Gem Maiden staggering backwards with sparks coming from her body.

Then Symbol switched the Giga Ring for the Burst Ring and hit her Wizard Driver’s left Shift Lever. [MAGICAL TOUCH HENSHIN!] She scanned her left glove across her Wizard Driver’s Hand Author. [BURST PLEASE!] Then held her left glove out to the side, making the burst magic circle appear behind her and move through her. [CAST THE SPELL!] Transforming Symbol into the Burst Style as she pressed her Wizard Driver’s left Shift Lever three more times. [MAGICAL TOUCH GO!] Symbol swiped her left glove over her Wizard Driver’s Hand Author and punched the ground, just as the Gem Maiden recovered. [BURST! A RANK SPELL!] Out of which burst a wall of solid rock.

The Gem Maiden ran towards the wall and ran up it, getting over Symbol's protection with ease.

But this had given Symbol all the time she needed to charge up enough mana for her plan. “Enough is enough!” snarled out Symbol as she switched the Burst Ring for the Advance Ring and pressed her Wizard Driver’s left Shift Lever. [TOUCH TO ADVANCE YOUR CLASS!] Symbol scanned her left glove over her Wizard Driver’s Hand Author and held her left glove out in front of her and the Gem Maiden charged. [ADVANCE PLEASE!] The advance magic circle appeared in front of Symbol and moved back through her, but not before the Gem Maiden slammed into it and was sent flying backwards in an explosion of yellow magical energy. The magic circle passed through Symbol, transforming her into the Advance Style.

Symbol pressed her Wizard Driver’s left Shift Lever twice. [TOUCH TO CAST THE NEXT LEVEL!] Then scanned her left glove over her Wizard Driver’s. [ADVANCE B TIER SPELL!] The rectangle on the back of Symbol’s right forearm guard glowed as Symbol shot forwards and slammed her elbow into the Gem Maiden’s face, sending her flying backwards and making her skip along the ground.

The Gem Maiden recovered and slid along the ground on her boots before she looked at Symbol with her emotionless eyes. 

“That is a bit creepy,” muttered Symbol. “ARGH!” right before a headache tore through the side of her helmet.

Suddenly, the Gem Maiden was covered in a glow of burning red magical energy that burst outwards, flinging rubble, dirt, metal and concrete into the air. Symbol was forced to stagger back several steps from the force of the red magical energy.

“What on earth was that?!” shouted Symbol in shock.

When the smoke cleared, the gem maiden was covered by red burning magical energy that made it look like a bonfire.

“I repeat: What on earth is that?” questioned Symbol.

Then the Gem Maiden moved! She was suddenly in front of Symbol at speeds which were nearly to fast for Symbol to react. “What the-?!” Symbol was punched in the face plate and sent flying back. The Gem Maiden became a red blur as she moved around behind Symbol and stabbed her in the back, sending the Kamen Rider shooting forwards again. Symbol saw the Gem Maiden appear in front of her and pressed her Wizard Driver’s left Shift Lever three times while she was shooting through the air. [TOUCH TO CAST THE NEXT LEVEL!] Symbol scanned her left glove across her Wizard Driver’s Hand Author before she crossed her arms in front of her as the rectangles on the back of her forearm guards leaked yellow magical energy. [ADVANCE A TIER SPELL!] From her gloves a shield formed that deflected the Gem Maiden’s next swing at Symbol’s neck.

Symbol landed back on the ground and pressed her Wizard Driver’s left Shift Lever twice. [TOUCH TO CAST THE NEXT LEVEL!] She winced as another blast of pain shot through her helmet and scanned her left glove across her Wizard Driver’s Hand Author. [ADVANCE B TIER SPELL!] The rectangles on Symbol’s armour glowed as she vanished. As did the Gem Maiden. 

For several seconds two blurs crashed in the air, one was yellow and grey while the other was red. Symbol’s threw a hook at the Gem Maiden’s face, only for it to be forced away by the Gem Maiden’s sword. Symbol was forced to deflect a swing with both of her forearm guards and kicked the Gem Maiden in the chest. The Gem Maiden jumped back and then returned the favour by stabbing Symbol in the chest plate.

Symbol stumbled back and at the same time her speed boost wore off. She was slashed in the chest plate over a dozen times in the next five seconds before she pressed her Wizard Driver’s left Shift Lever four times. [TOUCH TO CAST THE NEXT LEVEL! VERY NICE!] Symbol was slashed in the back plate twice more before she scanned her left glove across her Wizard Driver’s Hand Author. [ADVANCE S TIER SPELL! THE BEST!] Symbol covered her left fist in yellow magical energy as she pulled it back and slammed it into the ground. “Advance Impact!” a dome of yellow magical energy surrounded Symbol and sent the Gem Maiden flying through the air, slamming into one of the few crates in the docks that were still in one piece.

Symbol quickly pressed her Wizard Driver’s left Shift Lever once as she ran towards the Gem Maiden. [TOUCH TO CAST THE NEXT LEVEL!] The Gem Maiden was just getting back up as Symbol scanned her left glove over her Wizard Driver’s Hand Author, wincing as one large burst of pain shot through her helmet. [ADVANCE C TIER SPELL!] Symbol covered her right fist in yellow magical energy as she punched upwards, sending the Gem Maiden shooting into the air.

Suddenly, Symbol clenched her helmet in pain and screamed in agony. Her helmet dropped down and when she looked back up at the returning Gem Maiden, the outside of her visors and turned grey with the inside of them remaining yellow. Symbol pressed her Wizard Driver’s left Shift Lever once as she ran at the Gem Maiden. [TOUCH TO CAST THE NEXT LEVEL!] Symbol scanned her left glove across her Wizard Driver’s Hand Author as she pulled the left fist back. [ADVANCE C TIER SPELL!] She threw her fist up in an uppercut, which the Gem Maiden avoided with ease, slashing her across the chest plate in the process.

Symbol did not react to the pain as she pressed her Wizard Driver’s left Shift Lever twice. [TOUCH TO CAST THE NEXT LEVEL!] She took another slash as she scanned her left glove over her Wizard Driver’s Hand Author. [ADVANCE B TIER SPELL!] Both of Symbol’s elbows were covered in yellow magical energy that leaked out of the rectangles on her forearm guards. She vanished in a yellow blur, appearing behind the Gem Maiden, Symbol smashed her left elbow into the back of the Gem Maiden’s head.

The Gem Maiden rolled with the blow and swept Symbol’s legs out from under her before punching her in the gut as the Kamen Rider fell over. Symbol flipped back to her boots as she pressed her Wizard Driver’s left Shift Lever three times. [TOUCH TO CAST THE NEXT LEVEL!] Symbol scanned her left glove across her Wizard Driver’s Hand Author as she pulled back both of her fists. [ADVANCE A TIER SPELL!] Symbol slammed both of her fists down towards the Gem Maiden, punching her in the stomach and sending her shooting back with sparks coming from the impact point.

Symbol jumped into the air and pressed her Wizard Driver’s left Shift Lever four times. [TOUCH TO CAST THE NEXT LEVEL! VERY NICE!] Symbol scanned her left glove over her Wizard Driver’s Hand Author. [ADVANCE S TIER SPELL! THE BEST!] Raging yellow magical energy covered Symbol’s right arm as she came down and slammed it into the ground, making a shockwave of yellow magical energy shot outwards towards the Gem Maiden.

Only for her to jump behind the fallen crane and let it take the damage for her. Then the Gem Maiden ran forwards and slashed Symbol across the chest plate with her sword before slashing upwards. Symbol hit her Wizard Driver’s left Shift Lever once. [TOUCH TO CAST THE NEXT LEVEL!] Then she scanned her left glove over her Wizard Driver’s Hand Author. [ADVANCE C TIER SPELL!] The rectangle on the back of Symbol’s left forearm guard emitted yellow magical energy that was gathered into her right glove as Symbol unleashed an uppercut that fired a beam of yellow magical energy.

The Gem Maiden dodged and kicked Symbol in the back of her knee before spinning around and slashing her across the backplate. Sparks flew as Symbol pressed her Wizard Driver’s left Shift Lever twice. [TOUCH TO CAST THE NEXT LEVEL!] She scanned her left glove over her Wizard Driver’s Hand Author. [ADVANCE B TIER SPELL!] Yellow magical energy was emitted from the rectangle on the back of Symbol’s right forearm guard as she gathered it around her elbow and spun around, striking the Gem Maiden across her jaw with her elbow guard.

Then Symbol pressed her Wizard Driver’s left Shift Lever four times. [TOUCH TO CAST THE NEXT LEVEL!] She scanned her left glove across her Wizard Driver’s Hand Author. [ADVANCE A TIER SPELL!] The orbs in her shoulder pauldrons emitted yellow magical energy that gathered around Symbol’s gloves. She threw out a double punch, only for the Gem Maiden to dodge and slash her across the chest plate once more.

Symbol hit her Wizard Driver’s left Shift Lever four times. [TOUCH TO CAST THE NEXT LEVEL! VERY NICE!] Then she scanned her left glove across her Wizard Driver’s Hand Author. [ADVANCE S TIER SPELL! THE BEST!] A storm of yellow magical energy particles gathered around Symbol’s right fist as she pulled it back and slammed it into the ground, sending out a shockwave of yellow magical energy that the Gem Maiden cut through with her sword.

Symbol hit her Wizard Driver’s left Shift Lever once more and scanned her left glove across her Wizard Driver’s Hand Author. [TOUCH TO CAST THE NEXT LEVEL!] Then she scanned her left glove over her Wizard Driver’s Hand Author. [ADVANCE C TIER SPELL!] The rectangle on the back of her right forearm guards emitted yellow magical energy as Symbol punched forwards, firing a beam of yellow magical energy that the Gem Maiden, closing the distance and charging her sword with red magical energy. She slashed Symbol across the chest plate, releasing a storm of sparks that caused a lot of damage to Symbol’s body in the process.

The Gem Maiden understood that Symbol was moving on a set of actions, that Symbol was no longer in command of her body. Now that the Gem Maiden knew what those actions were, Symbol had no chance in this form.

Speaking of which, Symbol pressed her Wizard Driver’s left Shift Lever twice. [TOUCH TO CAST THE NEXT LEVEL!] She scanned her left glove across her Wizard Driver’s Hand Author. [ADVANCE B TIER SPELL!] The rectangle on the back of Symbol’s right forearm guards emitted yellow particles that gathered around her elbow. Symbol vanished in a yellow blur and appeared behind the Gem Maiden, about to smash her elbow into the Gem Maiden’s jaw. Only for the Gem Maiden to dodge it as her body glowed red and kick Symbol in the bottom of her helmet, sending Symbol flying into the air.

While in the air, Symbol recovered and pressed down on her Wizard Driver’s left Shift Lever three times. [TOUCH TO CAST THE NEXT LEVEL!] She scanned her left glove across her Wizard Driver’s Hand Author. [ADVANCE A TIER SPELL!] Yellow particles leaked from the rectangles in the centre of Symbol’s shin armour and forearm guards. The particles from her forearm guards wrapped around her gloves as the particles from the shin armour formed into a disk-shaped platform. Symbol kicked off the platform and went shooting down, she slammed her fists into the ground, cracking it as the Gem Maiden had dodged. The Gem Maiden charged her right boot in red magical energy and kicked Symbol in the chest plate. An explosion ignited on contact and Symbol was sent shooting through the air, she slammed into a crate in a massive explosion.

Symbol weakly got out of the crate and pressed her Wizard Drive’s left Shift Lever four times as the Gem Maiden charged a massive amount of red magical energy into her sword. [TOUCH TO CAST THE NEXT LEVEL! VERY NICE!] Symbol scanned her left glove across her Wizard Driver’s Hand Author as the Gem Maiden was covered in red magical energy. [ADVANCE S TIER SPELL! THE BEST!] Symbol’s left glove was covered in a storm of raging yellow magical energy. 

The two of them charged with Symbol jumping into the air and coming down towards the Gem Maiden, who vanished in a red blur as Symbol’s fist slammed into the ground. A massive shockwave of yellow magical energy was unleashed that roared through the air, missing the Gem Maiden, which charged towards Symbol and slashed her across her stomach, leaving a glowing red line.

Sparks flew from Symbol as micro explosions went off around her before she was engulfed in a giant explosion.

When the smoke cleared a heavily injured Sunset Shimmer Sparda was seen, falling to her knees before being pulled up by the Gem Maiden.

Blood stained Sunset’s clothes as all of the damage she had taken as Kamen Rider Symbol was transferred over to her human form. Her body was covered in deep cuts and harsh bruises. 

She looked up as the Gem Maiden raised her sword to deal the final blow.

Sunset’s vision grew dark, spots appeared in her eyes as they closed.

Right before she lost consciousness, Sunset heard a pair of mechanical voices and saw two familiar outlines slash a glowing X through the Gem Maiden.

The final thing Sunset heard before going to sleep was the sound of the Gem Maiden exploding.


Unknown amount of time later


Sunset came awake with a gasp and shot up in the bed she was in before gasping and clutching her side in pain. “Argh! That hurts!” she growled out. She looked down and saw that her chest, right leg, right forearm, neck and left hand were all wrapped tightly in bandages.

“It should do,” commented a familiar voice from the door.

Sunset looked over to see Vergil standing in the doorframe. “What do you mean?” she asked as she tried to get up. “If that is how strong all Gem Maiden’s are, then I’m not looking forward to fighting anymore of them!” shouted Sunset as her body started healing, just making the pain even worse.

“They are not,” replied Vergil. “That was a seventh rank Gem Maiden.”

“Meaning?” asked Symbol.

“That she could have fought Wiseman and had a good chance of winning,” replied Vergil plainly.

Sunset stopped and stared at her brother. “You're serious?” she asked him in shock.

“As a heart attack,” replied Vergil.

Sunset sat back down in shock. “Huh, I don’t feel so bad about losing that fight anymore,” she commented.

Vergil’s face softened. “We all lose at some point in life Sunset. What matters is that you held on long enough for Dante and me to get Kate’s life force clone to safety and then come back for you.”

“Speaking of which, how is Kate?” asked Sunset.

“She will be fine,” replied Vergil. “Both she and Dante are tired from remerging the life force clone into Kate. But that will be solved with its good night’s sleep for Dante and a few days of sleep for Kate.”

“So what do we do now? I mean, we have to attack Wiseman in his HQ now,” question Symbol.

“Yes,” replied Vergil. “But thankfully, Kate retained all of the memories of her life force clone. Including the layout of Wiseman’s headquarters,” explained Vergil with a sinister smirk on his face.

“That's great!” beamed Sunset. 

“Yes, it is,” replied Vergil.

“I’m sensing a but,” stated Sunset as her beaming face turned into a frown.

“But, those memories include the torture,” explained Vergil.

“Poor Kate,” muttered Sunset.

“I’m going, to be honest, Sunset,” Vergil knelt down next to her sister’s bed. “It is unlikely that Kate will very be able to function as a normal person again,” explained Vergil.

“Are you going to do it?” asked Sunset.

Vergil looked down, not saying anything.

Sunset saw tears start to leak from his face.

“I don’t want to,” Vergil took a deep breath. “But what is more important? My selfish desire for Kate to live. Or her desire to be out of that broken body?” he asked his sister. “For the first time in my life, I don’t know what to do!”

Sunset placed a hand on top of Vergil’s. “I can’t give you the answer brother,” she placed a hand on his heart. “But this can.”

“Thank you, sister, you should get some rest,” Vergil took a moment to get control of himself, then he walked out the door.

Sunset gazed after her brother for several seconds before pulling up the sheets and turning over.
> S1E17 The Plan
> --------------------------------------------------------------------------

Kate was being supported by Dante as she held a piece of chalk to a chalkboard. 

Vergil was standing behind them in the centre of the room.

While Sunset was leaning against a wall.

“So the Phantom World Gate,” Kate winced in pain. “Is the main source of Wiseman’s power. It can only be reached from this chamber,” she pointed to part of her diagram. “Which is also his personal chamber,” she added. “You must break into the chamber and close the Phantom World Gate,” it was getting harder for Kate to speak. “That last outburst cost Wiseman a lot of magical power. He is still weak and this is your chance to defeat him.” 


A few hours later, outside Wiseman’s tower.


Vergil, now in his Nephilim Style, was walking up to the back of Wiseman’s tower as he remembers what Kate had told him. “Wiseman doesn’t know that Vergil is a Kamen Rider. We can use that to our advantage. There is a backdoor into the tower, located here.”


At the front of Wiseman’s tower


Dante, now in his Nephilim Style and Sunset, now as Kamen Rider Symbol Active Style, were walking up to the front door of Wiseman’s tower as they remembered what Kate had said: “Vergil, you must reach the security room undetected. So Dante, Sunset, the two of you will create a distraction, here.”

“I cannot believe that we are just walking up to the front door of the Phantom King’s tower!” shouted Symbol.

“If you have a better idea for a distraction, then now’s the time to tell it to me!” shouted Dante.

Symbol remained quiet.

Dante turned to the security camera on the bank’s front door. “Hey, guys! You looking for a fight?” he shouted. “Here we are!” with that, he picked up a rock and hurled it at the security camera, shattering its lense.

The world shifted, the clouds all sped up as the sky turned blood red. The sides of the bank cracked and spread out as a massive beam of red energy lanced out from the centre of the bank, roaring upwards into the sky. The road around Symbol and Dante cracked as buildings broke into fragments before being pulled into the beam. Fragments of the road were pulled up and transformed into floating islands, one of which the two Kamen Rider’s were standing on.

They both remembered Kate’s warning. “Once Wiseman sees you, all hell is going to break loose. Stay close to the tower entrance.”

The island that the two Kamen Rider’s were on started to break into pieces.

“We gotta move!” shouted Dante as he switched his Nephilim Ring for his Osiris Ring and punched it into his Driver’s left slot. [SET!] Dante turned his wrist back, then forwards, making his Driver’s gate close and then open again. [OPEN!] The Osiris magic circle appeared from Dante’s Driver and he ran through it. [O-S-I-R-I-S!] Emerging in the Osiris Style as he punched the Osiris Ring into his Driver’s left slot and turned his wrist forwards. [KICK STRIKE GO!] Dante kicked off the air behind him and the light blue wind shot him over to the next island, that was already starting to break apart.

Seeing a lock on point, Dante grabbed the Osiris Scythe off his backplate and turned its handle. [HOOK MODE!] Transforming it into the Angel Lift. Dante hooked the grapple hook onto the piece of rubble, pulling himself towards it. He turned and landed on it, boots first as he punched his left glove into his Driver’s left slot, turning his wrist forwards. [KICK STRIKE GO!] Dante was covered in the light blue wind, boosting off the fragment and landing on a piece of a wall. He kicked off that, boosting over to the side of the street. Then Dante boosted over another pair of islands before hooking the Angel Lift onto the side of a wall. Dante pulled himself over to the wall and kicked off it, boosting over to another piece of wall that was floating in the void. He kicked off that and flew through a boost ring, landing on another island.

It was already starting to collapse as a building on either side of it started to lean inwards. Dante kicked off it, hooking the Angel Lift onto a floating rock, pulling himself up to it and boosting through the air, before using the Angel Lift to pull himself up to the bank entrance.

Symbol landed next to him in her Active Boost Bind Style. She panted for a few seconds. “That was rough!” she admitted.

“Tell me about it,” replied Dante as black rocks rose up, blocking the bank’s entrance. 

They both remembered what Kate had told them. “The gates will seal, Dante, Sunset, you need to keep them busy while Vergil makes his way into the tower,” Kate had told them both.

Out of the ground rose three blue Blade Phantoms with smiling mouths and a large serrated saw blade instead of a right arm. This was an Elite Blade Phantom.

It was quickly joined by a second Elite Blade Phantom.

“Only two Phantom’s?” questioned Dante. “This should be easy!” he cheered.

“Don’t say that!” shouted Symbol.

Let the battle begin.

Dante switched the Osiris Ring for the Nephilim Ring and punched it into his Driver’s left slot. [SET!] Dante turned his wrist back, then forwards, making his Driver’s gate close and open. [OPEN!] The nephilim magic circle appeared from his Driver and Dante ran through it. [N-E-P-H-I-L-I-M!] He emerged in the Nephilim Style and punched his Nephilim Ring into the Rebellion Blade’s slot. [ONE!] The mouth opened to reveal a single light blue and blood red circle as Dante pulled the Rebellion Blade back. [NEPHILIM SABER STRIKE!] He slammed it down, only for the Elite Blade Phantom to block, kick him back and slash him across the chest plate twice with its blade. Sparks flew from both of the cuts.

“Argh!” shouted Dante as he staggered back in pain. “Ok, maybe this won’t be so easy!” he pressed down on the Rebellion Blade’s trigger. [NEPHILIM SABER STRIKE!] Dante jumped into the air as the Rebellion Blade was covered in blood red and light blue magical energy. “Helm Breaker!” Dante went shooting down and slammed the Rebellion Blade into the Elite Blade Phantom’s sword. It blocked and aimed to throw him off, only for Dante to jump back, making the Phantom stagger from the sudden lack of resistance.

He punched his Nephilim Ring into the Rebellion Blade’s slot. [FIVE!] The sword’s mouth opened, showing five blood red and light blue dots. [NEPHILIM SABER STRIKE!] Dante dashed forwards and stabbed the Elite Blade Phantom in the gut, making sparks come from the impact point.

The Elite Blade Phantom stumbled backwards before spinning with its blade as Dante charged, it caught Dante in the chest plate and made him stagger backwards as sparks flew from the cut. The Elite Blade Phantom kept up the pressure, slashing Dante another three times with its blade before Dante blocked a slash with the Rebellion Blade. “Your gonna pay for that!” he growled. Dante pressed his Nephilim Ring into the Rebellion Blade’s slot. [THREE!] The blood red and light blue circles in the sword’s mouth changed from five to three. [NEPHILIM SABER STRIKE!] Dante forced the Elite Blade Phantom’s sword back with an upwards swing. He slashed it across the chest once with a horizontal slash, then he performed a second horizontal slash from the other direction, both attacks made sparks come from the Elite Blade Phantom’s chest.

Only for the Elite Blade Phantom to recover faster than Dante thought it would and slash its sword up through the ground, hitting him up into the air. “That was my move!” shouted Dante as he pressed his Nephilim Ring into the Rebellion Blade’s slot. [ONE!] The light blue and blood red dots in the Rebellion Blade’s mouth were reduced to one. [NEPHILIM SABER STRIKE!] Dante came down with an overhead strike that the Elite Blade Phantom blocked with the flat of its blade.

“Big mistake,” were he in his human form, Dante would have smirked. He let go of the Rebellion Blade with one glove and punched his Nephilim Ring into his Driver’s left slot, turning his wrist forwards. [GO! KICK STRIKE!] Red and blue magical energy covered Dante’s right boot. “High Time!” he kicked upwards. His right boot slammed into the Elite Blade Phantom’s chin, sending the Phantom shooting upwards into the air.

Then Dante bombarded the Elite Blade Phantom while it was in the air with bullets from Ebony and Ivory. When the Phantom landed back on the ground he held down on their triggers, a ring of light blue and a ring of blood red magical energy were pulled into the two hand cannons. A ring of white energy was pulled into Ivory and a ring of black energy was pulled into Ebony. [EBONY AND IVORY STRIKE!] Dante let go of the triggers, firing a pair of bullets that spiralled around each other. One was white, the other was black. They both leaked energy of their respective colours that formed into a cone-shaped drill effect. “Ricoshot!” shouted Dante as the finisher slammed into the Elite Blade Phantom with a loud explosion. When the smoke cleared, the Phantom had fallen to its knees with sparks coming from its body before it faded away into black dust.

“Ha!” shouted Dante. “Not so Elite now are you?!” at that moment he ate his own words as he was slashed across the backplate by another Elite Blade Phantom that had jumped out of the ground. “Argh!” shouted Dante as he rolled across the ground. Just before falling over the edge he reached up and grabbed a lamp post, swinging himself back onto the bank’s island.

“There’s another one?!” he shouted in shock.

“You're surprised by this?!” shouted Symbol as she was forced back by another Elite Blade Phantom. “The Phantom’s have never fought alone unless they are high enough up in the hive-mind to be sentient!” 

“Good point,” Dante considered.

He switched his Nephilim Ring for the Arbiter Ring and punched it into his Driver’s left slot. [SET!] Dante turned his wrist back, then forwards, making his Driver’s door close and open again. [OPEN!] The arbiter magic circle appeared in front of Dante’s Driver and he ran through it. [A-R-B-I-T-E-R!] Transforming into the Arbiter Style. He drew the Arbiter Axe and punched the Arbiter Ring into its slot. [ONE!] The flame red dice appeared and spun until it stopped, displaying a single flame red dot. [AXE STRIKE!] Dante slashed down with the Arbiter Axe, firing a red energy construct of the axe’s head that the Elite Blade Phantom blocked with the flat of its sword. It was sent skidding backwards several feet as the construct ground sparks from the Elite Blade Phantom’s sword.

Seeing his opening, Dante punched the Arbiter Ring into the Arbiter Axe’s slot again. [TWO!] The dice spun around several times before stopping when it showed a pair of flame red dots. [AXE STRIKE!] Dante brought the Arbiter Axe around and slammed the weapon into the ground. Out of the impact, came a pair of red energy lines that threw the Elite Blade Phantom into the air when they made contact with it. 

Dante knew that the Phantom was helpless in the air. Or at least he strongly hoped that it was as he drew Ebony and punched the Arbiter Ring into the back of its hammer. [ARBITER!] Three rings of red magical energy were pulled into the black hand cannon as Dante took aim. [EBONY STRIKE!] He let go of the trigger, firing a beam of red magical energy. It slammed into the Elite Blade Phantom and sent it flying back down to the ground, smoking.

Then Dante jumped into the air as he pressed the Arbiter Ring into the Arbiter Axe’s slot. [FIVE!] The blood red dice appeared and spun around several times before stopping on five flame red dots. [AXE STRIKE!] Red magical energy covered the Arbiter Axe’s blade as Dante went shooting down and slammed the Arbiter Axe down on the Elite Blade Phantom, igniting an explosion.

Dante was sent flying out of the smoke as the Elite Blade Phantom struck him across the faceplate. He flew backwards, landing on his boots as he punched the Arbiter Ring into the Arbiter Axe’s slot. [TWO!] The dice spun around several times, stopping on a pair of flame red dots. [AXE STRIKE!] Dante pulled back the Arbiter Axe and slammed it into the ground, making a pair of energy lines ripple through it. The Elite Blade Phantom slashed its sword into the ground, sending out a line of fire that stopped one of the energy lines. But it was still thrown into the air by the second energy line.

Dante punched the Arbiter Ring into the Arbiter Axe’s slot again. [ONE!] The dice spun once more, stopping on a single flame red dot. [AXE STRIKE!] Red magical energy converged around the Arbiter Axe’s blade as Dante pressed down on its trigger. [AXE STRIKE!] Red magical energy surged up the Arbiter Axe’s shaft and into its blade as Dante swung it around. “Flush!” he roared as he fired a beam from the Arbiter Axe, the head of which formed into a spinning axe head construct. It slammed into the Elite Blade Phantom with a loud explosion, making the Phantom fall to the ground in a smoking heap.

Then Dante punched the Arbiter Ring into his Driver’s left slot and turned his wrist forwards. [GO! KICK STRIKE!] Red magical energy raged around Dante’s right boot as he spun around and kicked outwards. “Flush!” the magical energy formed into the construct of a spinning axe head that slammed into the Phantom and caused a massive explosion. When the smoke cleared the Elite Blade Phantom was nowhere to be seen.

Symbol had been fighting just as hard as her brother. She pressed her Wizard Driver’s right Shift Lever once as she jumped back from a slash. [MAGIC TOUCHIE GO!] Symbol scanned her right glove over her Wizard Driver’s Hand Author as she kicked out. [BOOST MAGIC PLEASE!] From her right Boost Lock came an orange energy chain that the Elite Blade Phantom deflected with its saw blade. Only for the chain to circle around and wrap around it, pulling the Phantom into a kick from Symbol’s other Boost Lock that made sparks come from its head.

Symbol bent down and jumped into the air, the Boost Locks propelled her upwards as she hit her Wizard Driver’s left Shift Lever four times. [MAGICAL TOUCH GO! VERY NICE!] Symbol spun in the air as she scanned her left glove across her Wizard Driver’s Hand Author. [ACTIVE! S RANK SPELL! THE BEST!] Symbol kicked down towards the Elite Blade Phantom with her right boot, which had red lightning raging around it. “Spike Chain!” shouted Symbol as a chain-shaped beam went shooting down towards the Elite Blade Phantom. The Phantom tried to block with the flat side of its sword, only to be overpowered and sent flying in an explosion.

Symbol landed back on the ground, just in time for the Elite Blade Phantom to get back up and fire a line of fire along the ground towards her.  “Oh no!” Symbol switched the Boost and Bind Rings for the Ice and Defend Rings before pressing down on her Wizard Driver’s right Shift Lever. [MAGIC TOUCHIE HENSHIN!] Symbol scanned her right glove across her Wizard Driver’s Hand Author. [ICE DEFEND PLEASE!] She held her right glove out to the side and the two magic circles appeared before moving through her. Symbol hit her Wizard Driver’s right Shift Lever once as the fire line approached. [MAGIC TOUCHIE GO!] She scanned her right glove over her Wizard Driver’s Hand Author. [ICE MAGIC PLEASE!] Symbol covered the Ice Shield in glowing ice blue magical energy as she stabbed it into the ground. Out of which burst a wall of ice that cracked when the fire line hit it.

Symbol switched the Active Ring for the Giga Ring and pressed her Wizard Driver’s left Shift Lever. [MAGICAL TOUCH HENSHIN!] She scanned her left glove over her Wizard Driver’s Hand Author and held her left glove down to the ground. [GIGA PLEASE!] The giga magic circle appeared under Symbol’s boots and rose up through her. [BREAK THROUGH!] Transforming Symbol into the Giga Style as she pressed her Wizard Driver’s left Shift Lever once. [MAGICAL TOUCH SPELL!] Symbol scanned her left glove again and covered her right glove in green magical energy. [GIGA C RANK SPELL!] Symbol pulled back her fist and punched the wall, making it shatter into fragments that glowed with green energy, shooting forwards like meteors. They impacted the ground around the Elite Blade Phantom with enough force to ignite explosions that sent the Phantom flying forwards, landing at Symbol’s boots.

Symbol added the Punch and Drill Rings to her right glove, then she pressed down on her Wizard Driver’s right Shift Lever. [MAGIC TOUCHIE HENSHIN!] Symbol scanned her right glove over her Wizard Driver’s right Shift Lever. [PUNCH DRILL PLEASE!] The two magic circles appeared under her boots and rose up through her, transforming Symbol into the Giga Punch Drill Style. She pressed her Wizard Driver’s right Shift Lever once more. [MAGIC TOUCHIC GO!] Then Symbol scanned her right glove across her Wizard Driver’s Hand Author. [PUNCH MAGIC PLEASE!] She pulled back her fist as it was covered in red flames and punched downwards, slamming her fist into the back of the Elite Blade Phantom, igniting an explosion.

While the Elite Blade Phantom was still down, Symbol drew the Giga Axe and pulled on its thumb, opening its Hand Author. [COME ON A SMASH SHAKE HANDS!] Then she scanned her left glove across it. [GIGA SMASH STRIKE!] Raging green magical energy covered the Giga Axe as Symbol brought it down on the Elite Blade Phantom. “Giga Strike!” the energized axe blade slammed into the Elite Blade Phantom and caused it to explode.

“Ha!” Symbol heard Dante shout. “Not so Elite now are you?!” 

“Oh please tell me that idiot didn’t just say that!” groaned Symbol. 

Another Elite Blade Phantom jumped out of the ground and Symbol was forced to block its sword by trapping it between the Punch Drillers. 

She was being forced back when she heard Dante shout. “There’s another one?!” in total shock.

“You're surprised by this?!” shouted Symbol as she was forced back by the Elite Blade Phantom. “The Phantom’s have never fought alone unless they are high enough up in the hive-mind to be sentient!”

She heard Dante consider her point before replying. “Good Point,” then Symbol was forced to pay attention to her own fight as her boots were kicked out from under her.

As she was falling over, Symbol switched the Giga Ring for the Swift Ring while pressing her Wizard Driver’s left Shift Lever. [MAGICAL TOUCH HENSHIN!] She landed on her back plate and scanned her left glove across her Wizard Driver’s Hand Author.[SWIFT PLEASE!] he swift magic circle fell through Symbol. [DASH AWAY!] Transforming her into her Swift Style as she pressed her Wizard Driver’s left Shift Lever twice. [MAGICAL TOUCH GO!] Then Symbol scanned her Swift Ring over her Wizard Driver’s Hand Author. [SWIFT! B RANK SPELL!] Time slowed down as the Elite Blade Phantom brought its sword down on Symbol’s stomach, aiming to cleave her in half. Only for Symbol to vanish and sparks to fly from the Elite Blade Phantom as it was assaulted by a yellow blur.

Symbol skidded to a halt, revealing that she was holding the Swift Dagger as she pressed her Wizard Driver’s left Shift Lever once. [MAGICAL TOUCH GO!] She swiped her left glove over her Wizard Driver’s Hand Author. [SWIFT! C RANK SPELL!] Then Symbol held out her right glove and five orbs of yellow magical energy shot towards the Elite Blade Phantom, it blocked with its blade as the orbs exploded then came charging out of the smoke and slashed Symbol across her chest plate making sparks explode across the cut.

“Argh!” Symbol winced from the amount of damage she took, thanks to being hit by a third level Phantom in a light armoured form. She jumped back, then added the Wing and Blade Rings to her right glove before pressing her Wizard Driver’s right Shift Lever. [MAGIC TOUCHIE HENSHIN!] Symbol scanned her right glove across her Wizard Driver’s Hand Author and held her right glove into the air. [WING BLADE PLEASE!] The two magic circles appeared before falling through Symbol as she blocked a fire line with the right three Cutter Wings. Symbol hit her Wizard Driver’s right Shift Lever twice. [MAGIC TOUCHIE GO!] Then she scanned her right glove over her Wizard Driver’s Hand Author as she boosted to the side, avoiding another fire line. [BLADE MAGIC PLEASE!] Symbol fired six buzzsaws from the Cutter Wings that circled around behind the Elite Blade Phantom and dug into its back, making sparks fly as the Phantom dropped to its knees.

Symbol closed her Cutters Wings as she pressed her Wizard Driver’s left Shift Lever four times. [MAGICAL TOUCH GO! VERY NICE!] Yellow magical energy shone between the Cutter Wings as Symbol scanned her left glove across her Wizard Driver’s Hand Author. [SWIFT! S RANK SPELL! THE BEST!] Then she gave a strong flap. “Wing Cutter!” firing three crescent of yellow magical energy that soared through the air and slammed into the Blade Phantom, cutting three yellow lines through it that sparked before the Phantom went up in an Explosion.

Symbol shot a glare at Dante as he approached, although her facial expression was pretty hard to tell as her head was still in its helmet from. “Still think this is going to be easy?!” she demanded of her brother.

Dante winced.


Security room


Vergil ran up to a computer and started typing away.  He cracked his neck and after several seconds the words: “SECURITY OVERRIDE!” came up on the screen.


Bank Entrance


Both Symbol and Dante remember what Kate had told them. “Dante, Sunset, make a break for the entrance before it seals itself shut. You’ll both have a few seconds at best!”

Both Kamen Riders bolted.

Symbol used the Cutter Wings to boost along the ground and made it in with ease but Dante was falling behind. He switched the Arbiter Ring for the Osiris Ring then punched it into his Driver’s left slot. [SET!] Dante turned his wrist back, then forwards, making his Driver’s gate close and open again. [OPEN!] The osiris magic circle appeared and Dante ran through it. [O-S-I-R-I-S!] He emerged in his Osiris Style and with his increased speed he got through the doors, just as the rocks sealed it back up once again.

“Once inside, you’ll face Wiseman’s elite guards, take them out quickly,” Kate had instructed them.

A pair of Dreamrunner Phantom’s jumped out of the ground. They looked like the Drekavac Phantom only they were coloured blue and did not have black blood leaking from their mask’s eyes.

“Two of these things?!” shouted Dante.

“No, they're different than the Drekavac Phantom,” stated Symbol.

Now that Dante took a closer look he could see the difference. “Your right,” if he were in his human form he would have grinned. “They’re probably weaker too,” he stated.

“I wouldn’t underestimate them,” warned Symbol. “Kate wouldn’t have said they’re Wiseman’s elite guards without a reason.”

“Showtime!” shouted Dante as he ran forwards.

“He didn’t hear a word I said,” deadpanned Symbol as she pressed her Wizard Driver’s right Shift Lever twice. [MAGIC TOUCHIE GO!] Symbol scanned her right glove over her Wizard Driver’s Hand Author as she flapped the Cutter Wings. [BLADE MAGIC PLEASE!] From which flew six buzzsaws. They soared through the air as the Dreamrunner Phantom that she had been targeting blocked all of them while it was running towards Symbol in a blur.

Symbol drew the Swift Dagger and pressed her Wizard Driver’s left Shift Lever twice. [MAGICAL TOUCH GO!] As the Dreamrunner Phantom swung, she scanned her left glove across her Wizard Driver’s Hand Author. [SWIFT! B RANK SPELL!] Suddenly, Symbol could see the DreamRunner as more than just a blur and blocked one of its swords with her Swift Dagger, while using the left three Cutter Wings to deflect the Dreamrunner’s other sword.

Symbol switched the Swift Dagger into the Swift Blaster and pulled on its thumb, opening its Hand Author. [COME ON A BLAST SHAKE HANDS!] She scanned her left glove across the Swift Blaster’s Hand Author. [SWIFT! BLASTER STRIKE!] Before firing a barrage of yellow magical energy bullets that forced the Dreamrunner to disengage so that it could block them with both of its swords.

The Dreamrunner then lashed out, slashing Symbol across the chest plate with one of its swords while keeping the Cutter Wings at bay with the other sword. “Argh!” shouted Symbol as she staggered back with sparks coming from her chest plate. Symbol quickly hit her Wizard Driver’s right Shift Lever once. [MAGIC TOUCHIE GO!] The Dreamrunner leapt into the air as Symbol scanned her right glove across her Wizard Driver’s Hand Author. [WING MAGIC PLEASE!] She pulled back the six Cutter Wings and flapped them, sending a barrage of feathers at the Dreamrunner. It frantically tried to block with its blades, but there were just too many and sparks come from its body as it was hit several times over by the feathers.

“So widespread attacks work better on you?” muttered Symbol. The Dreamrunner glared at Symbol, at least she thought it did as the Swift B Rank Spell wore off. “Oh no!” it vanished in a blur and Symbol was kicked into the air. She felt something strike her across the chest plate five times, then across the backplate seven times. Three strikes were thrown at her legs and two at each of her arms before a punch to the faceplate sent Symbol slamming back into the ground.

“Argh!” shouted Symbol as sparks came from her armour, while she got back up, weakly and in pain. Suddenly, the Dreamrunner Phantom appeared and kicked her back onto her backplate.

“SUNSET!” shouted Dante as he tried to run over and help, but was forced to back off by the Dreamrunner Phantom that he was fighting.

The Dreamrunner Phantom had taken its attention away from Symbol for a second to watch its brother fighting Dante, that had been a mistake as it had let Symbol pressed her Wizard Driver’s left Shift Lever twice. [MAGICAL TOUCH GO!] The Dreamrunner Phantom turned back towards Symbol and dashed at her, aiming to cleave through her with its swords before she could scan her left glove across her Wizard Driver’s Hand Author. [SWIFT! B RANK SPELL!] Symbol’s visors glowed as she sped up, deflecting the attack with the Swift Blaster. She pistol whipped the Phantom across the face as she converted it into the Swift Dagger and slashed the Dreamrunner Phantom twice.

As the Dreamrunner Phantom staggered back, Symbol switched the Wing Ring for the Turbo Ring. She was about to change the Blade Ring, but the Dreamrunner recovered and charged at her. Symbol pressed her Wizard Driver’s right Shift Lever. [MAGIC TOUCHIE HENSHIN!] Then she scanned her right glove over her Wizard Driver’s Hand Author and held up her right glove. [TURBO BLADE PLEASE!] The turbo magic circle appeared and fell through Symbol, forcing the Dreamrunner Phantom to take several steps back before it closed the distance again, slashing Symbol across the chest plate once more.

“I’m getting really sick of that!” shouted Symbol as she pressed her Wizard Driver’s right Shift Lever twice. [MAGIC TOUCHIE GO!] She took another slash across her right shoulder pauldron as she scanned her right glove across her Wizard Driver’s Hand Author. [BLADE MAGIC PLEASE!] Symbol pulled back her left fist as the turbine on the left Turbo Shooter hummed to life. She slammed her glove into the floor, creating a shockwave of yellow magical energy that caused the Dreamrunner Phantom to stumble as it struggled to keep its balance.

“Sunset!” shouted Dante as he stumbled around. “I’m glad you’re ok, but a little warning would be nice!” 

“Sorry, Dante!” shouted Symbol, her attention was pulled back to the Dreamrunner Phantom as her Swift B Rank Spell wore off again. “Not again!” shouted Symbol as she knew what was coming.

As she thought, the Dreamrunner Phantom vanished in a blur and closed the distance in less than an eye blink. It smashed Symbol in the faceplate with the hilt of its sword. Then it zipped around behind her as she was thrown off her boots by the force of the blow and smashed her into the ground with a hammer blow. It picked Symbol up by the throat and brought back a sword, slashing her across the chest plate over a dozen times in less than a second, making micro explosions go off around Symbol’s body.

“Sorry, Dante,” chocked Symbol as she switched the Swift Ring for the Advance Ring. “But 	I have no choice,” she pressed her Wizard Driver’s left Shift Lever. [TOUCH TO ADVANCE YOUR CLASS!] Then she scanned her left glove across her Wizard Driver’s Hand Author just as the Dreamrunner Phantom pulled back to stab her. [ADVANCE PLEASE!] The advance magic circle appeared and moved back through Symbol, transforming her into the Advance Style as well as having the added bonus of throwing the Dreamrunner Phantom back.

“She had to use it,” whispered Dante as he watched his sister transforming, dodging around a downwards slash from the Dreamrunner Phantom he was fighting with only a slight amount of effort.

Symbol pressed her Wizard Driver's left Shift Lever twice. [TOUCH TO CAST THE NEXT LEVEL!] Then she scanned her left glove over her Wizard Driver’s Hand Author. [ADVANCE B TIER SPELL!] Symbol darted forwards as the rectangle in the back of her left forearm guard leaked yellow magical energy. It covered her left elbow as Symbol rammed it into the Dreamrunner Phantom’s gut, sending it flying. She vanished in a yellow blur and appeared in the Dreamrunner Phantom’s flight path ready to hit it again.

Only for the Dreamrunner Phantom to be covered in a blast of blue magical energy and vanish in a blur. “Get back here! Argh!” shouted Symbol as a blast of pain tore through her skull. She covered her body in yellow magical energy and ran up the wall at super speed, she threw a punch at the Dreamrunner Phantom’s face, only for it to block with its swords by crossing them in an X shape.

“I’ve got to finish this quickly before I, Argh!” Symbol shouted in pain as her vision started to get spots in it. She pressed her Wizard Driver’s left Shift Lever once. [TOUCH TO CAST THE NEXT LEVEL!] Then she scanned her left glove across her Wizard Driver’s Hand Author. [ADVANCE C TIER SPELL!] Yellow magical energy slammed shot out of Symbol’s right fist and slammed into the Dreamrunner Phantom’s face, making sparks come from it as the Phantom was sent flying across the room.

“Argh!” at that moment Symbol went berserk. She had already used her Advance C and B Tier Spells, so she pressed her Wizard Driver’s left Shift Lever three times. [TOUCH TO CAST THE NEXT LEVEL!] Then she scanned her left glove as the rectangles on her shins and forearms started to emit yellow magical energy. [ADVANCE A TIER SPELL!] She created a circle of yellow magical energy that she jumped off and used to shoot at the Dreamrunner Phantom, wrapping both of her gloves in yellow magical energy as she slammed her fists into its face, sending it shooting back down to the ground, Symbol kicked off another circle, sending herself shooting down towards the Phantom.

Symbol pressed her Wizard Driver’s left Shift Lever four times as she was falling through the air. [TOUCH TO CAST THE NEXT LEVEL! VERY NICE!] She scanned her left glove across her Wizard Driver’s Hand Author as the orbs and rectangles on her body started to emit yellow magical energy. [ADVANCE S TIER SPELL! THE BEST!] The Dreamrunner Phantom rolled to the side as Symbol’s fist smashed into the ground, only for it to be caught in the shockwave of yellow magical energy that was unleashed which caused it to explode.

Dante’s fight could not have been more different than Symbol’s.

The Dreamrunner Phantom closed in and ran past him, punching Dante from the left. It turned around and repeated the process from the right. The process went on twice more before Dante was able to punch the Osiris Ring into his Driver’s left slot and turn his wrist forwards. [KICK STRIKE GO!] He was covered in the light blue wind and shot off at high speeds. He dodged a slash from the Dreamrunner Phantom and kicked it back before punching the Osiris Ring into the Osiris Scythe’s slot. [SCYTHE STRIKE!] Dante spun the Osiris Scythe like a vertical propeller. “Prop!” he fired light blue energy off in a pair of vertical disks. “Shredder!” shouted Dante as the Dreamrunner Phantom crossed both of its swords in an X shape, but was still sent skidding backwards.

Knowing that it would only be a matter of time before the Kick Strike wore off, leaving Dante at the Dreamrunner’s mercy for several seconds. Unlike Symbol, he had no need to fear his Upgraded Form and use it as a last resort. ‘I’d rather use up some mana now and have to stick to my normal forms against some weaker Phantoms and get beat up now!’ With his decision made, Dante switched the Osiris Ring for the Trigger Ring in its Angel Mode. He punched the Angel Trigger Ring into his Driver’s left slot. [TRIGGER!] Dante turned his wrist back, then forwards, making his Driver’s door open and close. [GO ANGEL!] The angel trigger magic circle appeared from Dante’s Driver, knocking the Dreamrunner Phantom back as it passed through him. [AN-AN-AN-ANGEL!] Transforming Dante into his Angel Trigger Style.

The Dreamrunner Phantom charged at Dante, who stepped back avoiding the first slash, he jumped over the second slash and ducked down on all fours, making the third slash miss. Then Dante mule kicked the Dreamrunner Phantom in the face with both of his boots making sparks fly. 

Dante glanced over at Symbol and was met with the horrific sight of her being kicked onto her backplate by the Dreamrunner Phantom that she had been fighting.

“SUNSET!” shouted Dante as he tried to run over and help, but was forced to back off by the Dreamrunner Phantom that he was fighting. He snarled but knew that his sister was on her own for a few minutes.

Dante held out his right glove as the Rebellion Magnum Osiris Mode appeared and he grabbed it. He punched the Trigger Ring into the back of it. [ANGEL ONE!] The light blue one with wind blue outlines appeared next to the Rebellion Magnum’s skull. [MAGNUM STRIKE!] Dante held the Rebellion Magnum out to the side, drawing a confused look from the Dreamrunner Phantom before he fired. The light blue bullet curved in the air and the Dreamrunner Phantom was forced to use both of its swords to block the high powered shot. It lost its balance and fell over leaving it open.

Something that Dante did not hesitate to exploit. He punched the Trigger Ring into the back of the Rebellion Magnum. [ANGEL THREE!] The one shifted into a three as Dante took aim.  [MAGNUM STRIKE!] He pulled the trigger, firing a blue bullet that curved up through the air, striking the Dreamrunner Phantom in the chin with enough force for it to come off its feet before falling back to the ground, dazed from what felt like a world class uppercut.

Dante punched the Trigger Ring into the back of the Rebellion Magnum once more. [ANGEL FOUR!] The holographic three transformed into a holographic four. [MAGNUM STRIKE!] Dante took aim and fired a single high powered bullet. This was the only move of the Rebellion Magnum Osiris Mode that moved in a straight line. The Dreamrunner Phantom jumped to the side, letting the shot pass by it.

The Dreamrunner was about to charge and Dante was about to shoot it when the ground shook. This sudden and unexpected turn of events caused them both to lose balance and fell over on their backsides before getting back to their feet or boots.

Dante did not even have to take a guess at who was behind this.

“Sunset!” shouted Dante as he stumbled around. “I’m glad you’re ok, but a little warning would be nice!” 

“Sorry, Dante!” shouted Symbol.

Whatever else Symbol said was lost to Dante as the Dreamrunner Phantom was covered in a light blue glow and its speed shot up. It streaked towards Dante so fast that he was surprised it did not make race car noises. Dante was slashed across the chest plate over a dozen times in the next half second, before being slashed all over his body in the next half second.

Dante punched the Trigger Ring into his Driver’s left slot and was slashed five more times as he turned his left wrist forwards. [KICK STRIKE! GO!] Light blue magical energy covered Dante. [ANGEL!] He sped up and was now moving the same speed as the Dreamrunner Phantom with the light blue wind surrounding him. He punched the Phantom in the face, the light blue wind adding to the damage as Dante roundhoused the Phantom.

Suddenly, Dante felt and saw his sister transform into her upgraded form.

“She had to use it,” whispered Dante as he watched his sister transforming, dodging around a downwards slash from the Dreamrunner Phantom he was fighting with only a slight amount of effort.

“I’ve got to end this, now!” shouted Dante as he reached to the Rebellion Magnum’s grip. He slid the cylinder out, turned it and pressed it back in, transforming the Rebellion Magnum into its Aquila Mode. The Dreamrunner Phantom charged at Dante as he punched the Trigger Ring into the back of the Rebellion Magnum. [ANGEL FOUR!] A wind blue four with light blue outlines appeared. [MAGNUM STRIKE!] Dante took aim and fired six bullets that spiralled around him, creating six rings of light. The Dreamrunner Phantom ran into them and sparks flew from its body as it was sent flying backwards.

Dante took aim with the Rebellion Magnum and punched the Trigger Ring into the back of it. [ANGEL FIVE!] The blue four transformed into a blue five. [MAGNUM STRIKE!] Dante then held down on the Rebellion Magnum’s trigger. [MAGNUM STRIKE!] Ten rings of light blue magical energy were pulled into the Rebellion Magnum’s barrel. [ANGEL!] Dante braced and let go of the trigger. “Caliber!” shouted Dante as he fired a massive blue beam. The Dreamrunner Phantom saw it coming and crossed its swords. The beam washed over the Phantom and a powered explosion rippled through the area.

Dante gave a sigh of relief and glanced over to Symbol, just the outside of her visors turned grey with the inside staying yellow, signalling that she had gone berserk. “I should be able to finish this in one shot if I time it right,” muttered Dante as he changed the Trigger Ring into its Devil Mode and punched it into his Driver’s left slot. [TRIGGER!] Dante turned his wrist back, then forwards, making his Driver’s gate close and open. [DEVIL GO!] The devil trigger magic circle appeared from Dante’s Driver and moved back through him. [DE-DE-DE-DEVIL!] Transforming Dante into his Devil Trigger Style. He punched the Trigger Ring into the back of the Rebellion Magnum Arbiter Mode. [FIVE! DEVIL!] A flame red holographic five with earth red outlines appeared next to the Rebellion Magnum’s skull. [MAGNUM STRIKE!] Dante took aim into the air as he held down on the Rebellion Magnum’s trigger. [DEVIL!] Ten rings of red magical energy were pulled into the Rebellion Magnum. [MAGNUM STRIKE!] Dante fired a beam of red energy that stopped in the air and collected into a red sphere. “Drop!” shouted Dante as the orb turned into a massive burning red meteor that fell on Symbol.

Normally, Dante would have felt like that was a dick move, but he had no intention of fighting a berserk Symbol. The smoke cleared, revealing Symbol laying on the ground, back in the Swift Style.

[SET!] [OPEN!] [N-E-P-H-I-L-I-M!] Dante walked over to his sister and help her back to her boots. “Thanks,” thanked Symbol.

“Don’t mention it,” replied Dante simply.

They ran through a door as they remember what Kate had told them. “Vergil will knock out the internal camera system. Wiseman won’t be able to see where you are. The corporate offices are heavily defended. One exception is floor eighty-seven which is unoccupied. There the two of you will reunite with Vergil.”

They stepped into the elevator. “Somehow, I think this is a bad idea,” commented Dante.

Symbol gave him a questioning look.

“We are in what amounts to a cage, what if Wiseman causes it to drop?” explained Dante.

“Dante, we are about to fight the Phantom King in his castle! How is getting in an elevator anymore of a bad idea than that!?” shouted Symbol.

“Good point,” admitted Dante.

Thankfully, Wiseman apparently wanted them to reach him as the elevator did not drop. Upon reaching floor number eighty-seven the door opened, revealing Vergil, who was still in the human world.

“You good, brother, sister?” asked Vergil.

“Yeah, good,” replied Dante shortly.

“A bit sore from fighting those Elite Blade Phantoms and nearly being beaten to death by a Dreamrunner Phantom,” complained Symbol.

Vergil winced. “Ouch.”

They all remember Kate’s plan. “Here the three of you will split. Dante, Sunset, make your ways to the east wing. Vergil, you’ll make your way to the west wing where you’ll find the main server room.”

“Good luck,” Vergil wished his siblings.

“You too,” replied Dante.

“Thanks,” added Symbol.

Vergil faded away.

Dante and Symbol ran to the right as they remembered what Kate had explained to them. “Dante, Sunset, you will have to cross a sky bridge to make it into the East Wing. You will find the sky bridge along this path.” 

They ran through four to five rooms as Kate explained the rest of the plan in a flashback. “Vergil will take over the servers in the West Wing. He will clear the way for you,” was Kate’s short explanation.

The two siblings ran through another two rooms before their path was blocked by Phantoms that burst from the ground.

Let the battle begin.

“I’ll take care of the chainsaw maniacs! You take out the Blade Phantoms!” shouted Symbol.

“At least they are not Elite Blade Phantoms this time!” muttered Dante.

One of the Ravager Phantoms set itself on fire and charged at Symbol, who jumped over it, using the Phantom’s head like a springboard. While in the air, Symbol switched the Swift Ring for the Active Ring pressed her Wizard Driver’s left Shift Lever. [MAGICAL TOUCH HENSHIN!] Symbol scanned her left glove across her Wizard Driver’s Hand Author. [ACTIVE PLEASE!] She held her left glove out to the side and the active magic circle appeared, moving through her. [LET’S GO!] Transforming Symbol into the Active Style as she pressed her Wizard Driver’s left Shift Lever once. [MAGICAL TOUCH GO!] Symbol covered her right glove in red lightning as she scanned her left glove across her Wizard Driver’s Hand Author. [ACTIVE! C RANK SPELL!] She slammed her left palm into the back of the Ravager Phantom’s head, shooting a bolt of red lightning through it.

Dante jumped into the air, avoiding a slash from a Blade Phantom as he punched his Nephilim Ring into the Rebellion Blade’s slot. [ONE!] The Rebellion Blade’s mouth opened to reveal a single light blue and blood red circle. [NEPHILIM SABER STRIKE!] Dante went shooting down and slammed an overhead slash into the Blade Phantom that had just attacked him, making it stagger back with a glowing red and blue cut through it that was emitting sparks.

Suddenly, Dante punched his Nephilim Ring into the Rebellion Blade’s slot and spun around. [THREE!] The single light blue and blood red dot in the Rebellion Blade’s mouth turned into three as Dante used the sword to block a slash from a second Blade Phantom. [NEPHILIM SABER STRIKE!] Dante slashed the Blade Phantom once with an across slash, twice with a downwards slash and ended the combo with an upwards slash.

Symbol ducked under a slash from a second Ravager Phantom, then she scrambled back to avoid a slash from the first Ravager Phantom. She hit her Wizard Driver’s left Shift Lever four times. [MAGICAL TOUCH GO! VERY NICE!] Then she scanned her left glove across her Wizard Driver’s Hand Author. [ACTIVE! S RANK SPELL! THE BEST!] Red lightning covered her right arm. “Active Strike!” shouted Symbol as she thrust her left palm forwards. Out of which came a beam of red lightning that tore through both of the Ravager Phantoms, making their bodies emit sparks.

But to Symbol’s shock, they did not explode.

“Of course, lower level Phantoms get stronger while they are around higher level Phantoms and Wiseman is the Phantoms king!” growled out Symbol.

Dante punched the Nephilim Ring into the Rebellion Blade’s slot again. [TWO!] Dante spun around as the sword’s mouth opened to show a pair of light blue and blood red circles. [NEPHILIM SABER STRIKE!] While he was spinning, Dante slashed at the three Blade Phantoms that had surrounded him with the Rebellion Blade making sparks come from their body as the sword bit into them.

He stopped spinning and pressed down on the Rebellion Blade’s trigger. [NEPHILIM SABER STRIKE!] Blood red and light blue magical energy surged up the Rebellion Blade as Dante gripped it in both gloves. “Death Coil!” roared Dante as he spun around, using the Rebellion Blade to form a circle of light blue and blood red magical energy around him. It surged outwards, cutting through all three of the Blade Phantoms, they sparked before falling to their knees and exploding.

Symbol grunted in pain as one of the Ravager Phantom slammed its chainsaw into her chest plate after setting itself on fire and charging. Symbol was sent flying back with sparks coming from her chest plate until she smashed into a wall and slid down. “Ow!” grumbled Symbol. “That hurt!” she pushed herself back up then slid the Boost and Aqua Rings into her right glove before pressing her Wizard Driver’s right Shift Lever. [MAGIC TOUCHIE HENSHIN!] Symbol scanned her right glove across her Wizard Driver’s Hand Author. [BOOST AQUA PLEASE!] She held her right glove out to the side and the two magic circles appeared before moving through her, transforming Symbol into the Active Boost Aqua Style.

Then Symbol threw herself onto her backplate as the other Ravager Phantom’s chainsaw passed through where her neck had just been. While on her backplate, Symbol pressed her Wizard Driver’s right Shift Lever twice. [MAGIC TOUCHIE GO!] She started spinning while scanning her right glove over her Wizard Driver’s Hand Author. [AQUA MAGIC PLEASE!] The Aqua Jets blasted out streams of water that slammed into the two Ravager Phantoms, putting out their fires and sending them flying.

Dante saw a Blade Phantom running at him and locked blades with it as he pressed his Nephilim Ring into the Rebellion Blade’s slot. [FIVE!] The sword’s mouth opened to reveal five blood red and light blue dots. [NEPHILIM SABER STRIKE!] Dante shoved the Blade Phantom back as he shot forwards, stabbing it in the chest and making sparks fly from the impact point as the Rebellion Blade bit into the Phantom’s body.

Dante pressed the Rebellion Blade’s trigger. [NEPHILIM SABER STRIKE!] Light blue and blood red magical energy surged up the length of the sword as Dante stabbed forwards once more. “Stinger!” He was followed by a streak of blood red and light blue magical energy as he stabbed the Rebellion Blade into the Blade Phantom’s chest making micro explosions go off around it.

Only, instead of exploding, the Blade Phantom ran forwards and slashed Dante again. “Argh!” Dante staggered back with sparks coming from his body. “That should have finished you!” 

The Blade Phantom remained silent.

“I don’t know why I expect to get an answer!” shouted Dante as he punched his Nephilim Ring into his Driver’s left slot and turned his wrist forwards. [GO! KICK STRIKE!] Blood red and light blue magical energy covered Dante’s right boot as he ran forwards and jumped into a flying kick. “Stinger!” his boot made contact with the Blade Phantom. Sparks flew from its body before it exploded.

Symbol pressed her Wizard Driver’s right Shift Lever once. [MAGIC TOUCHIE GO!] One of the Ravager Phantom’s lit itself on fire and charged at Symbol as she scanned her right glove over her Wizard Driver’s Hand Author. [BOOST MAGIC PLEASE!] The Aqua Jets fired a blast of water that shot Symbol upwards, she slammed her knee into the Ravager Phantom’s face with enough force to flip it over.

Symbol landed back on the ground and twisted her body out of the way as the other Ravager Phantom went charging past. She pressed her Wizard Driver’s left Shift Lever four times. [MAGICAL TOUCH GO! VERY NICE!] Water started to leak from the Aqua Jets as Symbol scanned her left glove over her Wizard Driver’s Hand Author. [ACTIVE! S RANK SPELL! THE BEST!] The water gathered into an orb at Symbol’s chest height. “Hydro Storm!” shouted Symbol as she kicked the water ball and it was sent shooting forwards in a high-pressure stream that had a slight curve to it. The attack slammed into the Ravager Phantom and slammed it into the wall. When the attack ended, the Phantom got up with sparks coming from its body was it walked forwards.

“Oh come on!” shouted Symbol. “How is it that you are still alive after two S Rank Spells!?” then she heard the sound of a chainsaw behind her and turned around.

Just in time for the other Blade Phantom’s chainsaw to slam into her faceplate.

Dante had been backed into a corner by three Blade Phantoms.

Their mistake.

Dante punched his Nephilim Ring into the Rebellion Blade’s slot. [SIX!] The Blade Phantom’s charged as the sword’s mouth opened to reveal six light blue and blood red circles. [NEPHILIM SABER STRIKE!] Dante stabbed forwards, unleashing several thousand slashes in the space of the next second. Sparks exploded in a storm from the Blade Phantoms as they were repeatedly stabbed by the Rebellion Blade several thousand times.

Then Dante punched his Nephilim Ring into his Driver’s left slot. [GO! KICK STRIKE!] Blood red and light blue magical energy surged through Dante’s right boot as he unleashed several thousand kicks in the space of the next five seconds. “Trillion Kicks!” he spun around and dragged his right boot along the ground. Leaving a trail of light blue and blood red magical energy before the three Blade Phantoms exploded.

Suddenly, he heard his sister shout in pain. He spun around, just in time to see her get sent flying after being cut across the faceplate by one of the Ravager Phantoms. “SUNSET! Are you ok?!” shouted Dante.

“I’ve been better!” shouted Symbol as she got back up, the glowing red line on her faceplate closing as it healed over. Then she saw something. Symbol drew the Active Rifle and pulled on its thumb, opening its Hand Author. [COME ON A SHOOTING SHAKE HANDS!] Symbol scanned her left glove across the Active Rifle’s Hand Author. [ACTIVE! SHOOTING STRIKE!] Red lightning was channelled through the barrel. “Dante! Move!” shouted Symbol as she pulled the Active Rifle’s trigger. “Red Bolt!” a bolt of red lightning rocketed out of the Active Rifle.

“WOAH!” Dante dove to the side. The lightning bolt soared through where his helmet had just been and thundered into a Blade Phantom. Red lightning crackled over its body before it exploded. “I’ll say it again: Thanks for the help. BUT A LITTLE WARNING WOULD HAVE BEEN NICE!” bellowed Dante.

“Sorry!” shouted Symbol as she jumped over the Ravager Phantom that tried to saw her in half. “Time for a little protection,” Symbol switched the Aqua Ring for the Defend Ring.

“Not bad for your first sex joke!” shouted Dante as he locked blades with five Blade Phantoms and was forced back.

“What?!” squeaked Symbol as she realised what she had just said. “Dante! That isn’t what I meant! At all!” 

“I know, I’m just messing with you,” teased Dante.

As Sunset, Symbol would have pouted as she pressed her Wizard Driver’s right Shift Lever. [MAGIC TOUCHIE HENSHIN!] Symbol scanned her right glove across her Wizard Driver’s Hand Author. [BOOST DEFEND PLEASE!] Symbol held her right glove out to the side and the defend magic circle appeared before moving through her, transforming her into the Active Boost Defend Style. Symbol then pressed her Wizard Driver’s right Shift Lever twice. [MAGIC TOUCHIE GO!] She scanned her right glove across her Wizard Driver’s Hand Author as the Ice Shield was covered in a grey glow. [DEFEND MAGIC PLEASE!] Symbol pressed the tip of the Ice Shield into the ground and out of it burst a sphere of ice that stopped the Ravager Phantoms from reaching her.

Only for her to wince as the ice started to crack. “Maybe using ice against Phantoms that can set themselves on fire wasn’t such a good idea,” muttered Symbol.

Dante had enough of being forced back by the five Blade Phantoms that he had locked blades with and punched his Nephilim Ring into the Rebellion Blade’s slot. [ONE!] The mouth opened to reveal a single blood red and light blue dot. [NEPHILIM SABER STRIKE!] Dante grunted as he swung the Rebellion Blade up, breaking the lock and throwing the five Blade Phantoms into the air.

Dante used the Rebellion Blade’s momentum to pull himself into the air as he punched his Nephilim Ring into its slot again. [FOUR!] When the mouth opened there were four light blue and blood red dots. [NEPHILIM SABER STRIKE!] As he reached the level of the Blade Phantom’s Dante pressed the Rebellion Blade’s trigger. [NEPHILIM SABER STRIKE!] Light blue and blood red magical energy surged over the Rebellion Blade as Dante slashed three times. “Aerial Rave!” shouted Dante as a glowing light blue and blood red line was cut through three of the five Blade Phantoms, causing them to explode.

While still in the air, Dante punched his Nephilim Ring into the Rebellion Blade’s slot once more. [TWO!] When the mouth opened again, the number of light blue and blood red circles had halved. [NEPHILIM SABER STRIKE!] Dante pressed down on the Rebellion Blade’s trigger. [NEPHILIM SABER STRIKE!] He spun around several times, cutting glowing blood red and light blue cuts into the Blade Phantoms. “Roulette Spin!” he ended the combo on an upwards slash that threw the two Blade Phantoms further up, into the air where they exploded.

Meanwhile, the Ravager Phantoms were just about to break through Symbol’s shields. “Time for an old favourite!” she switched the Rings on her right glove for the Slasher and Aqua Rings. Then she pressed her Wizard Driver’s right Shift Lever. [MAGIC TOUCHIE HENSHIN!] Symbol scanned her right glove over her Wizard Driver’s Hand Author.  [SLASHER AQUA PLEASE!] She held her right glove out to the side, making the two magic circles appear and move through her, knocking the Ravager Phantoms back as they did so. Symbol struck her Wizard Driver’s right Shift Lever once. [MAGIC TOUCHIE GO!] Symbol scanned her right glove over her Wizard Driver’s Hand Author, covering the Tidal Slasher Claws in red lightning. [SLASHER MAGIC PLEASE!] Symbol ran forwards and engaged one of the Blade Phantoms in combat.

She slashed with one of her Slasher Tidal Claws, only for the Phantom to block it with the flat of its chainsaw, getting the other Slasher Tidal Claw to the face in the process. Symbol kicked the Ravager Phantom’s legs out from under it as she pressed her Wizard Driver’s left Shift Lever four times. [MAGICAL TOUCH GO! VERY NICE!] Then she scanned the Active Ring over her Wizard Driver’s Hand Author as the Slasher Tidal Claws were covered in red lightning. [ACTIVE! S RANK SPELL! THE BEST!] Symbol brought both of her claws up. “Slashing Burst!” she slammed them both down into the Ravager Phantom’s chest. Micro-explosions went off around it as sparks bleed from the cuts until the Ravager Phantom exploded.

Dante blocked a Blade Phantom’s sword with the flat of the Rebellion Blade as he punched his Nephilim Ring into its slot. [THREE!] The mouth opened to reveal a trio of blood red and light blue circles. [NEPHILIM SABER STRIKE!] Dante knocked the Blade Phantom’s sword to the side as he slashed the Phantom three times, once in the chest, once in the arms and once in the head.

The Blade Phantom stumbled back in pain as Dante pressed down on the Rebellion Blade’s trigger. [NEPHILIM SABER STRIKE!] Blood red and light blue magical energy ran up the Rebellion Blade as Dante slashed the Blade Phantom three more times, carving a light blue and blood red triangle into its chest. The Blade Phantom then fell over and was consumed by an explosion.

Suddenly, Dante jumped back as an Elite Blade Phantom jumped down and slammed its sword into the ground where he had just been standing. “Not one of you again!” shouted Dante as he pressed down on the Rebellion Blade’s trigger. [NEPHILIM SABER STRIKE!] Light blue and blood red magical energy surged up the Rebellion Blade as Dante flipped it into a reverse grip. “Drive!” he slashed with the Rebellion Blade once, firing a wave of blood red and light blue magical energy that crashed against the Elite Blade Phantom’s sword, sending it skidding back several paces.

Seeing that gave Dante an idea.

Symbol pressed her Wizard Driver’s right Shift Lever twice. [MAGIC TOUCHIE GO!] She scanned her right glove across her Wizard Driver’s Hand Author as the Ravager Phantom set itself on fire. [AQUA MAGIC PLEASE!] “Big mistake!” Symbol threw the Slasher Tidal Claws forwards, firing three crescent of water that slammed into it, putting out the Ravager Phantom’s flames and making sparks explode from its body as it was weak against water.

Then Symbol pressed her Wizard Driver’s left Shift Lever three times. [MAGICAL TOUCH GO!] She scanned her left glove across her Wizard Driver’s Hand Author as her body was covered in red magical energy. [ACTIVE! A RANK SPELL!] The lightning was fired forwards in a red blast that slammed into the Ravager Phantom and sent it to its knees.

She pressed her Wizard Driver’s left Shift Lever four times. [MAGICAL TOUCH GO! VERY NICE!] Then Symbol scanned her left glove over her Wizard Driver’s Hand Author as her body was covered in red lightning. [ACTIVE! S RANK SPELL! THE BEST!] The lightning was pulled down into her left boots as Symbol leapt into a flying kick. “Lightning Strike!” the boot made contact and sent the Phantom flying back with red lightning crackling over its body.

Symbol transformed the Active Rifle into the Active Blade and pulled on its thumb, opening its Hand Author. [COME ON A SLASH SHAKE HANDS!] Symbol scanned her left glove over her Active Blade’s Hand Author, covering it in red lightning. [ACTIVE! SLASH STRIKE!] She blurred forwards and slashed at the Ravager Phantom, cutting a glowing red energy line through its waist and causing it to explode.

Dante put his idea into play and punched his Nephilim Ring into his Driver’s left slot before turning his wrist forwards. [GO! KICK STRIKE!] Blood Red and light blue magical energy surged around Dante’s right boot. “Over!” he kicked out twice, firing a pair of blood red and light blue energy crescents in an X. They slammed into the flat of the Elite Blade Phantom’s sword. “DRIVE!” bellowed Dante as he fired one last blood red and light blue energy crescent that slammed into the X. Detonating it and sending the Elite Blade Phantom out of the wind, into the endless drop where it exploded after falling for several seconds.

The two siblings regrouped at the front of the sky bridge as they remember Kate’s explanation. “Security going into the East Wing is tight and you’ll find yourself blocked, so don’t try to access it yet,” Kate had warned them.

“I wonder why?” muttered Symbol in a sarcastic tone as the viewed the net of lasers that were crisscrossing over the sky bridge.


Vergil


Vergil arrived in the west wing’s security room. He started typing into a laptop until with words “ACCESS GRANTED” were displayed across the screen in green. “Bingo,” muttered Vergil.


Dante and Symbol


The web of lasers across the sky bridge flickered and died.

Both Symbol and Dante remembered Kate’s instructions. “Once the bridge is clear you can make your way into the east wing. Be careful,” she had warned. “These floors are occupied. You will encounter resistance much stronger than before.”

The two of them ran across the sky bridge and through the door that was sealed up by rocks behind them. 

“Floor eight-seven,” stated Dante as if he were an elevator work boy.

It was horrifying.

The people in the human world were nothing but dark shades screaming in pain.

They both remembered Kate’s explanation, but it had not prepared them for this in any way.

“This is the financial wing. Those that work here, are barely human anymore. It makes those who are kidnapped off the street to become Phantom’s seem lucky as at least for them, it's over fast. For those in the financial wing they are corrupted beyond recognition, slowly and painfully,” Kate had explained in dread.

“I feel like throwing up,” muttered Symbol as she made retching sounds.

“Save it for after we’ve beaten Wiseman!” ordered Dante. Even though Symbol could tell he was hiding his own disgust behind a brave front.

“Your right, if we don’t stop him, then one day all of the males on earth will be slaves to Wiseman like these poor souls,” replied Symbol as a Dreamrunner Phantom dropped from the ceiling. “Have you recovered enough mana to use your Trigger Style?”

Dante poked at his mana levels. “I should have enough, but I’m not sure if I’ll be able to finish this thing before turning back.”

“I’ll cover you in Burst Style, with any luck we can finish it before you run out of power. If not,” Symbol trailed off as she glanced down at her left middle finger as the Advance Ring replaced the Active Ring for a split second.

“Let’s hope that it does not come to that,” muttered Dante as he switched his Nephilim Ring for his Trigger Ring in its Angel Mode, then he punched it into his Driver’s left slot. [TRIGGER!] Dante turned his wrist back, then forwards, making his Driver’s gate close and open again. [GO ANGEL!] The angel magic circle appeared from Dante’s Driver as he ran through it. [AN-AN-AN-ANGEL!] The Dreamrunner Phantom dashed towards Dante as he emerged in his Angel Trigger Style, it’s katana’s met with the barrel on the Rebellion Magnum Osiris Mode.

Symbol switched the Active Ring for the Burst Ring and pressed her Wizard Driver’s left Shift Lever. [MAGICAL TOUCH HENSHIN!] Symbol scanned her left glove across her Wizard Driver’s Hand Author then held her right glove out to the side the palm facing backwards. [BURST PLEASE!] The burst magic circle appeared and passed through Symbol. [CAST THE SPELL!] Transforming her into the Burst Style as she pressed her Wizard Driver’s left Shift Lever once more. [MAGICAL TOUCH GO!] Then she scanned her left glove again. [BURST! C RANK SPELL!] Symbol held up her left glove and four sparks appeared in the air before igniting into four balls of fire that shot at the Dreamrunner Phantom. It blocked all four of the fireballs with ease but left itself open to Dante.

An opening, that Dante did not hesitate to take advantage of, he pulled the cylinder out of the Rebellion Magnum’s grip, turned it and slammed it back in, transforming the Rebellion Magnum into its Aquila Mode. He punched the Trigger Ring into the back of the Rebellion Magnum. [ANGEL TWO!] A wind blue one with light blue outlines appeared next to the Rebellion Magnum’s skull as Dante took aim. [MAGNUM STRIKE!] He pulled the trigger and fired. Four bullets of light blue light appeared from the Rebellion Magnum and circled around the Dreamrunner Phantom. Which realised its mistake and tried to block them but it was too slow. The bullets transformed into four rings of light blue light that snapped inwards and slammed the Dreamrunner Phantom’s arms to its sides. It was unable to do anything as the rings dragged it towards Dante.

Symbol ran to the side and drew the Burst Wand. She pulled on its thumb, opening its Hand Author. [COME ON A CAST SHAKE HANDS!] Then she scanned her left glove across the Burst Wand’s Hand Author. [BURST! CAST STRIKE!] Purple light was drawn in like shooting stars. The light collected into an orb of purple magical energy at the tip of the Burst Wand. “Burst Beam!” shouted Symbol as the orb collapsed into a beam of purple magical energy. It was nearly a full story thick and washed over the helpless Dreamrunner Phantom.

Suddenly, the binds broke and the Dreamrunner Phantom moved at speeds fast enough to make it look like it vanished. It zoomed around in a blur that Dante could hardly see as it moved around behind Symbol.

“Sunset! Look out!” seeing that she would be unable to turn around in time, Dante punched the Trigger Ring into his Driver’s left slot. [KICK STRIKE! GO!] Dante turned his wrist forwards and was covered in the light blue wind. [ANGEL!] He dashed forwards in a blur, getting behind Symbol and using the bayonet on the Rebellion Magnum to block the Dream Runner’s blade. 

The Phantom started to force Dante back as Symbol transformed the Burst Wand into the Burst Staff before pulling on its thumb, opening its Hand Author. [COME ON A SPELL SHAKE HANDS] Then Symbol scanned her left glove across the Burst Wand’s Hand Author. [BURST! SPELL STRIKE!] Shooting stars of purple magical energy collected in a sphere around the front of the Burst Staff. “Burst Spears!” shouted Symbol as the orb transformed into four spears that shot out and locked around the Dreamrunner Phantom’s limbs, stopping it from moving.

“Thanks, sis!” shouted Dante as he punched the Trigger Ring into the back of the Rebellion Magnum. [ANGEL FOUR!] The two doubled as it transformed into a four. [MAGNUM STRIKE!] Dante took aim and fired four bullets. They circled around the Dreamrunner Phantom and transformed into four rings of light blue magical energy that snapped closed around the Dreamrunner Phantom. Unlike the last set, they drew sparks from the Dreamrunner Phantom as the inside of them acted like buzzsaws while holding the Dreamrunner Phantom in place.

Before either sibling could do anything the Dreamrunner Phantom was covered in a light blue glow.

“Not this again!” shouted Dante, right before the binds shattered and he saw the Dreamrunner Phantom shooting towards Symbol. “No you don’t!” he punched the Trigger Ring into his Driver’s left slot and turned his wrist forwards. [KICK STRIKE! GO!] Dante was covered in the light blue wind and everything slowed down from his point of view. [ANGEL!] Dante dashed after the Dreamrunner Phantom, its sword was an inch away from Symbol’s neck when he shot it in the back, forcing it to spin around and use its katana’s to deflect Dante’s shots.

Symbol added the Dust and Radiation Rings to her right glove and pressed her Wizard Driver’s right Shift Lever. [MAGIC TOUCHIE HENSHIN!] Before she had a chance to scan her rings, Symbol was kicked back and sent flying by the Dreamrunner Phantom.

“SUNSET!” screamed Dante as he watched his sister get sent flying.

Symbol bounced along the ground twice and managed to scan her right glove over her Wizard Driver’s Hand Author. [DUST RADIATION PLEASE!] The two magic circles appeared behind Symbol as she flew through them, transforming her into her Burst Dust Radiation Style. Symbol hit her Wizard Driver’s right Shift Lever once. [MAGIC TOUCHIE GO!] She landed on the ground and skidded backwards, aligning her right glove with her Wizard Driver’s Hand Author. [DUST MAGIC PLEASE!] Symbol fired a dust beam from her right glove that shot through the air, only for the Dreamrunner Phantom to jump out of the way.

The Dreamrunner Phantom ran towards Symbol as Dante punched the Trigger Ring into the back of the Rebellion Magnum after switching it back into Osiris Mode. [ANGEL SIX!] Dante took aim and fired as the holographic six appeared next to the Rebellion Magnum’s skull. [MAGNUM STRIKE!] Out of which shot a blue bullet that streaked around in front of the Dreamrunner Phantom, forcing it to slow down so that it avoided getting hit.

Symbol had a bit more time so she pressed her Wizard Driver’s right Shift Lever twice. [MAGIC TOUCHIE GO!] She scanned her right glove across her Wizard Driver’s Hand Author as the Dreamrunner Phantom approached. [RADIATION MAGIC PLEASE!] Symbol cupped her gloves and fired a beam of green radiation that soared through the air. The Dreamrunner Phantom crossed its swords to block and quickly forced the beam back.

“No, you don’t! Finale!” shouted Symbol as she pressed her Wizard Driver’s left Shift Lever four times. [MAGICAL TOUCH GO! VERY NICE!] Symbol scanned her left glove across her Wizard Driver’s Hand Author and then punched the ground. [BURST! S RANK SPELL! THE BEST!] Out of the impact point came a wide beam of radiation that roared towards the Dreamrunner Phantom, only for it to jump over it and landed behind Symbol.

“Oh no!” shouted Symbol before being slashed across the back by the Dreamrunner Phantom’s charged blades. Sparks exploded from her backplate as micro explosions went off around her. Symbol fell to her knee guards and was consumed by an explosion. When the smoke cleared, she had transformed back into Sunset Shimmer Sparda.

“SUNSET!” shouted Dante as he punched the Trigger Ring into the slot at the back of the Rebellion Magnum. [ANGEL THREE!] The six transformed into a three as Dante took aim and pulled the trigger. [MAGNUM STRIKE!] Out of the Rebellion Magnum roared a bullet that curved into the air, forcing the Dreamrunner Phantom to block with its swords as the bullet rocketed towards its chin.

But this gave Dante the opening he needed to punch the Trigger Ring into his Driver’s left slot. [KICK STRIKE! GO!] Dante turned his wrist forwards as he jumped into the air. [ANGEL!] His right boot was covered in light blue magical energy as he went shooting down and slammed it into the Dreamrunner Phantom, which went shooting back, covered in the light blue wind before it exploded.

[SET!] [OPEN!] [O-S-I-R-I-S!] Dante ran over to Sunset and saw that she had an X shaped scar on her back now and picked her up, gently. Seeing that she was knocked out, he remembered what Kate had told them. 

“Hopefully, up there is somewhere that Sunset can rest,” muttered Dante as he turned the Osiris Scythe’s handle. [HOOK MODE!] The polearm transformed into the Angel Lift, which Dante used to get up to the next floor. Seeing an abandoned office, he put Sunset down and leaned her against a chair. “You’ll be safe here,” he commented to his sister as he left.

Dante walked away. He did not want to leave her but knew that if he took her until she awoke, then it would be signing their death warrants. ‘If I make enough noise and do enough damage then the Phantom’s should forget about her and come after me,’ thought Dante with great conviction.

Suddenly, a pair of normal Rage Phantoms jumped out of the ground.

“This should be a bit easier!” Dante punched the Osiris Ring into the slot of the Osiris Scythe. [ONE!] The light blue dice appeared and spun around until it stopped on a wind blue one. [SCYTHE STRIKE!] Dante spun around, slashing both of the Rage Phantoms with the Osiris Scythe as they lunged at him, unable to get out of the polearms range in time. Sparks flew from their bodies as they roared in rage.

Then they lunged at Dante, passing him in a pair of white blurs as sparks came from his body. ‘I’ve got to keep them separate!’ thought Dante as he jumped into the air and pressed the Osiris Ring into the Osiris Scythe’s slot. [THREE!] The dice spun around several times, stopping on a trio of light blue dots. [SCYTHE STRIKE!] Dante used the Osiris Scythe as a hook to pull one of the Rage Phantoms into the air. 

Then Dante punched the Osiris Ring into the Osiris Scythe’s slot again. [ONE!] The dice spun again, stopping on a one, once more. [SCYTHE STRIKE!] Dante spun in the air, slashing the Rage Phantom with the Osiris Scythe several times before stopping as they both fell back to the ground.

All of a sudden, sparks flew from Dante’s body as the other Rage Phantom fired its quills at him. Dante replied by punched the Osiris Ring into the Osiris Scythe’s slot again. [SIX!] The dice appeared and spun around several times before stopping when it showed six light blue dots. [SCYTHE STRIKE!] Dante lunged forwards in a streak of light blue light, smashing the Osiris Scythe’s blade into the Rage Phantom, driving it back against and wall and starting to choke it with the scythe blade.

Before he could crush the Phantom’s throat, Dante was forced to jump back as the other Rage Phantom rolled itself into a ball and did a spin dash. The other Rage Phantom kicked it back towards Dante. “Argh!” the Rage Phantom smashed into Dante’s chest plate and made him stumble back as the other Rage Phantom jumped in the air and kicked its fellow Phantom down towards Dante.

“No you don’t!” he switched the Osiris Ring for the Arbiter Ring and punched it into his Driver’s left slot. [SET!] Dante turned his wrist back, then forwards, making his Driver’s gate close and open. [OPEN!] The arbiter magic circle appeared from Dante’s driver and he ran through it. [A-R-B-I-T-E-R!] Transforming into his Arbiter Style. Dante punched the Arbiter Ring into the Arbiter Axe’s slot. [SIX!] Red magical energy covered the blade of the Arbiter Axe as Dante brought it back. [AXE STRIKE!] “Batter Up!” shouted Dante as he swung the Arbiter Axe into the Rage Phantom, charging it with red magical energy and sending it flying back at the other Rage Phantom, the two of them smashed into each other in a loud explosion. When the smoke faded, they had vanished. “Hih, I thought that it would have been harder than that,” muttered Dante.

Dante ran into an elevator that would take him further up the build. “What did she say? Floor one hundred and five? The Skybridge? Yeah!” Dante pressed the button.

Had Symbol been there, she would have told Dante that what Kate said was: “You want floor one hundred and six. Whatever you do, don’t get off at floor one hundred and five. It’s heavily defended.”

Dante remembered Kate saying that just as the door closed. “Right, no turning back now,” he muttered after a few seconds of trying to get the elevator door to open again.

The barriers came up and five Blade Phantoms burst out of the ground. “Thankfully, I can use the environment to my advantage,” muttered Dante as he pressed the Arbiter Ring into the Arbiter Axe’s slot. [SIX!] The flame red dice appeared and spun around several times before stopping on six blood red dots. [AXE STRIKE!] Dante pressed down on the Arbiter Axe’s trigger as the Blade Phantom’s approached. [AXE STRIKE!] Red magical energy surged up the Arbiter Axe’s shaft and into its blade as Dante punched the Arbiter Ring into his Driver’s left slot, turning his wrist forwards. [GO! KICK STRIKE!] The blood red and flame red magical energy was pulled into Dante’s right boot as he lifted it up and stomped on the ground. “Mega Energy Wave!” shouted Dante as a wave of red magical energy surged out from where his boot made contact with the ground. It slammed into the Blade Phantoms and sent them flying out of the window.

Then a Wizard Phantom appeared, looking around confused. It had plainly come to help out the Blade Phantoms, but Dante had taken them out far to fast. All of a sudden, two Rage Phantoms burst from the ground.

“I don’t have time for this!” shouted Dante as he switched the Arbiter Ring for the Trigger Ring in its Angel Mode before punching it into his Driver’s left slot. [TRIGGER!] Dante turned his wrist back, then forwards, making his Driver’s door close and open. [GO ANGEL!] The angel trigger magic circle appeared from Dante’s Driver and moved back through him. [AN-AN-AN-ANGEL!] Transforming Dante into the Angel Trigger Style. He grabbed the Rebellion Magnum as it appeared in its Aquila Mode before punching the Trigger Ring into the back of it. [ANGEL FOUR!] The holographic light blue one with wind blue outlines appeared next to the Rebellion Magnum’s skull. [MAGNUM STRIKE!] Dante took aim and fired six shots. Three pairs of light blue bullets shot out of the Rebellion Magnum and circled around the Phantom’s transforming into circles of light blue energy. The inside of which acted as buzzsaws, restraining the Rage Phantom’s while cutting down the Wizard Phantom’s shield.

Then Dante held down on the Rebellion Magnum’s trigger. [MAGNUM STRIKE!] Ten rings of light blue magical energy were pulled into the Rebellion Magnum before Dante took aim and fired. [ANGEL!] Three beams of light blue magical energy shot out of the Rebellion Magnum and into the rings, making them surge in power. “Round Trip!” shouted Dante as the rings sheared through the Phantoms and made them explode.

[SET!] [OPEN!] [A-Q-U-I-L-A!] Dante transformed back into his Aquila Style, panting heavily. “I can’t do too many more of those,” he muttered to himself. He pressed the button on the Aquila Stars and slammed them together. [HOOK MODE!] They combined and transformed into the Angel Lift that Dante used to get up to the next floor. The floor which he should have gotten off at in the first place!

Dante ran through several rooms only to be met by an Elite Blade Phantom that charged at him, recklessly. Dante stepped to the side and kicked it in the back, letting it fall through the window and into the endless drop where it exploded. “Looks like Kate was right,” muttered Dante.

“The further up you get, the stronger the Phantoms will get as you get closer to Wiseman. But this is something we can use to our advantage. The Phantoms will start to behave more recklessly as they get drunk on Wiseman’s power,” Kate had explained to Dante.

At the bottom of the tower, the Elite Blade Phantoms had acted like professional soldiers, now they acted like rookie soldiers with something to prove.

Dante then went through some sort of wind tunnel that carried him around a corner. Before arriving at another tunnel that was blocked by lasers.

“Come on, Vergil,” muttered Dante.


Vergil


“Hang on, Dante. Where’s Sunset?” muttered Vergil from the security room as he hacked into the system while remembering Kate’s warning.

“Vergil, be careful that you don’t trigger the tampering mechanism.”

The screen displayed ACCESS GRANTED.

“Bingo,” muttered Vergil.


Dante


The lasers in the tunnel blinked and then went offline.

“Bingo,” muttered Dante as he continued forwards.


Vergil


Alarms went off in the security room. “Not bingo,” muttered Vergil as he started typing away.


Dante


Dante skidded to a halt as the lasers came back on. “Aw, that’s bullshit!” shouted Dante in anger.


Vergil


Vergil started hacking only to hear a loud crash behind him. He turned around and remembered Kate’s warning.

“Vergil, you must not let yourself get dragged into the Slip Dimension. Or you will lose your ability to hack into the servers. If you are detected, then it’s all over,” Kate had warned him.

Vergil drew the Yamato Katana and charged.


Dante


“I can make it,” muttered Dante as he looked at the tunnel, full of lasers.

Suddenly, half of the lasers shut off.

“Now I know I can make it!” Dante made it across the sky bridge and remembered that Kate had told him, Vergil would meet him by the main elevator.

“Over here!” shouted Vergil as the door opened. “Where’s Sunset?” Vergil asked.

“She got knocked out,” explained Dante.

“So you left her?!” demanded Vergil.

“Yes and once this is all over, I will let Sunset beat me up as much as she wants to!” snapped back Dante.

After a moment of riding the elevator in silence, Vergil handed Dante a taser. “Here, Dante, take this,” he ordered.

Dante gave his brother a questioning look. 

“I took it off security,” explained Vergil. “It might look like a taser in the real world. But in the Slip Dimension, it’s a powerful Phantom weapon.”

“Thanks,” Dante took the weapon and was shocked that he could grab it from the Slip Dimension. It shifted into a pistol like weapon with a wide drum on the end of its barrel. This is Kablooey.

“Vergil, you will make your way towards Wiseman’s chamber in the real world,” Kate had explained. “Dante, Sunset, there’s no way through from the Slip Dimension, so you will have to go via the west wing.”

Dante went through a door on the left and a Death Knight Phantom pulled itself out of the floor. He drew Kablooey and fired a shot into the ground at the Phantom’s feet. 

It gave him a look that said: “You missed.”

“Not quite,” Dante pressed the second trigger on Kablooey. [BOOM!] The spike exploded and sent the Phantom flying out of a window.

Dante got to the sky bridge and went across it, right before it shattered into a million pieces. “That was close,” muttered Dante as he got into the elevator.

When he came out, what looked like a giant heart was in front of Dante. He remembered what Kate had told him. “You should see that main core at this point, Dante. You have to break in somehow.”

“That doesn’t help much Kate,” muttered Dante.

Before he could do anything, the Drekavac Phantom arrived.

“Not you again!” shouted Dante as he slid the Angel Trigger Ring, in its Angel Mode, onto his left middle finger. Dante punched the Trigger Ring into his Driver’s left slot. [ERROR!] shouted Dante’s Driver. “FUCK!” shouted Dante.

The Drekavac Phantom jumped into a portal and came out of another portal behind Dante. It covered its katana’s in red magical energy and slashed at Dante’s backplate making sparks explode from it. “ARGH!” shouted Dante as he dropped to one knee. ‘Ok Dante, think! My mana levels are high enough that I should be able to use the Angel Trigger Style. But Kate did warn me about over using one of my Upgraded Forms over the other! That must be what happened! My body is trying to protect itself!’ Dante switched the Trigger Ring into its Devil Mode. He punched it into his Driver’s left slot. [TRIGGER!] Dante turned his wrist back, then forwards, making his Driver’s gate close and open. [DEVIL GO!] The devil trigger magic circle appeared from Dante’s Driver and moved back through him. [DE-DE-DE-DEVIL!] Transforming Dante into his Devil Trigger Style.

Although this style was not ideal for fighting this Phantom, Dante felt that he had a better chance now than he did before. Dante grabbed the Rebellion Magnum in its Arbiter Mode as it appeared and punched the Trigger Ring into the back of it. [ONE! DEVIL!] A red holographic one with flame red outlines appeared next to the Rebellion Magnum’s skull. [MAGNUM STRIKE!] Dante took aim and fired three blasts of red magical energy at the Drekavac Phantom which blocked them with its swords.

The Drekavac Phantom charged at Dante as he pressed the Devil Trigger Ring into the back of the Rebellion Magnum. [SIX! DEVIL!] The red holographic once transformed into a red holographic six. [MAGNUM STRIKE!] The Phantom jumped into another portal and came out of a different portal.

Right in time to receive a cannon blast to the face, sending it flying backwards with sparks coming from its body. “Yeah!” the Drekavac Phantom skidded to a halt, digging both of its katana’s into the ground. “How do you like that you, ugly, sack, of, shit,” Dante trailed off as the Drekavac Phantom was covered in a glow of burning red magical energy, just like the Dreamrunner Phantoms.

“I really need to learn to keep my mouth shut!” whimpered Dante.

The Drekavac Phantom took off and all Dante felt was pain as he was slashed across the chest plate, then in the shoulder pauldron, before being kicked in the face and sent flying across the ledge. He was then kneed in the back. [SET!] [OPEN!] [A-R-B-I-T-E-R!] Dante felt himself take to much damage and transform back into the Arbiter Style. He was just able to grab onto the edge of the ledge as he was sent flying off it.

“This is bad,” winced Dante as the Drekavac Phantom stood over him and drew back its katanas.

Suddenly, a familiar grey and yellow blur slammed into the Phantom from the side, sending it flying backwards before it flipped in the air and turned into a red blur. Dante pulled himself back up onto the ledge as the two blurs crashed. For a second he heard something as the Drekavac Phantom was sent flying backwards and consumed by an explosion. 

The grey and yellow blue stopped, revealing it to be Symbol in her Advance Style. [MAGICAL TOUCH HENSHIN!] [ACTIVE PLEASE!] [LET’S GO!] “I can’t believe you left me!” shouted Symbol.

Dante winced. “It was for your own good!” he retorted.

“Which is the only reason I have not kicked you over the edge! Now come on!” shouted Symbol.

The ledge started to break apart, only for Symbol to flare her magical energy, stopping it. She and Dante ran towards the chamber. Symbol added the Boost and Defend Rings to her right glove as she pressed her Wizard Driver’s Hand Author. [MAGIC TOUCHIE HENSHIN!] Symbol scanned her right glove across her Wizard Driver’s Hand Author. [BOOST DEFEND PLEASE!] The two magic circles appeared and passed over her, Symbol jumped into the chamber.

Dante was right behind her.
> S1E18 Furnace of Souls
> --------------------------------------------------------------------------

The two Kamen Rider found themselves in what looked like a room of floating green crystals. They were over a pit, the bottom of which could not be seen.

“Woah!” shouted Symbol as a blast of fire roared up from the pit and into the air. She had to jerk back to avoid being burned as she had been peering over the edge.

Dante shielded his faceplate with his arm from the intense heat. 

They both remembered what Kate had told them. “Wiseman’s chamber is located at the top of the core. There you two will be reunited with Vergil.”

“This is not going to be easy,” muttered Symbol. She complained more about Dante leaving her later.

“Yeah, but where’s the fun in it being easy?” questioned Dante as he made the jump to the first rock.

“Dante! Don’t you remember what Kate told us?!” shouted Symbol as she jumped after her brother. She narrowly made it as another blast of fire shot upwards.

Dante stumbled as he did indeed remember what Kate had warned them about. “Be careful. The life force of the trillions of females that Wiseman has killed is channelled through here. Don’t get caught up in the stream, no matter what!” 

“We just have to jump the second each blast ends!” shouted Dante as he jumped to the third floating crystal rock. 

“Easier said than done!” shouted Symbol as she narrowly avoided another blast of fire life energy.

Dante did not reply as he switched his Nephilim Ring for the Osiris Ring and punched it into his Driver’s left slot. [SET!] Dante turned his wrist back, then forwards, making his Driver’s gate close and open. [OPEN!] From Dante’s Driver came the Osiris magic circle that moved back through him. [O-S-I-R-I-S!] Transforming Dante into the Osiris Style. He drew the Osiris Scythe off his backplate and turned its handle. [HOOK MODE!] The scythe transformed into the Angel Lift that Dante hooked onto the bottom of a crystal that was floating in front of and above the platform he was on. He pulled himself up as he punched the Osiris Ring into his Driver’s left slot and turned his wrist forwards. [KICK STRIKE GO!] Dante kicked off the air behind him and was sent shooting forwards as he landed on the next crystal platform, only just making the jump.

Knowing that Symbol would be right behind him, Dante ran up the slope. He paused for five seconds as another blast of flame roared up from the pit and then kicked off the air behind himself. Dante was sent shooting forwards, clearing this gap with ease and landing on the next green crystal platform.

Symbol landed next to him, now in her Active Boost Bind Style, just as a Hell Knight Phantom and a Froze Knight Phantom burst from the ground. “You're already dress for the part, so you can take the Frost Knight Phantom, I’ll deal with the Hell Body rip off!” shouted Symbol.

“On it!” replied Dante. He punched the Osiris Ring into the Osiris Scythe’s slot. [ONE!] The dice appeared and spun around several times before stopping on a one. [SCYTHE STRIKE!] Dante spun around several times with the Osiris Scythe cutting away at the Frost Knight Phantom’s barrier.

Then the Frost Knight Phantom blocked a slash and hooked its sword into the Osiris Scythe’s blade, pulling Dante close. “Woah!” shouted Dante as sparks exploded from his chest plate. “Aw, shit!” shouted Dante as frost started to spread from the cut. He punched the Osiris Ring into his Driver’s left slot and turned his wrist forwards just before the frost froze it over. [KICK STRIKE GO!] The light blue wind covered Dante’s body as he dashed to the size. The sudden amount of movement and the surge of mana through his body disrupted the mana in the frost, stopping it from spreading before shattering it.

Dante closed in on the Frost Knight Phantom from behind at super speed as he punched the Osiris Ring into the Osiris Scythe’s slot. [FIVE!] The dice appeared and spun around five times before stopping when it showed five dots. [SCYTHE STRIKE!] Dante spun around, slashing the Frost Knight Phantom five times with the Osiris Scythe in under a second. It managed to turn around in time to block the hard downwards swing at the end of the combo with its barrier.

The Frost Knight Phantom slammed its sword into the ground, sending a line of ice at Dante. He easily rolled to the side, but sparks came from his right side as the Frost Knight Phantom was waiting for him with its sword ready. “Argh!” shouted Dante as he stumbled back. “Not bad!” he punched the Osiris Ring into the Osiris Scythe’s slot again. [THREE!] Dante leapt into the air as the dice rolled onto three dots. [SCYTHE STRIKE!] He used the Osiris Scythe as a fishing rod to pull the Frost Knight Phantom up into the air, where it was helpless.

Dante punched the Osiris Ring into the Osiris Scythe’s slot again as he twisted his hips. [ONE!] The dice rolled again, stopping on a one as Dante started to spin. [SCYTHE STRIKE!] Sparks flew from the Frost Knight Phantom’s barrier as the Osiris Scythe bit into it multiple times with each of Dante’s complete spins.

Dante landed back on the ground, right before the Frost Knight Phantom came smashing down into the ground. He punched the Osiris Ring into the slot of the Osiris Scythe. [SIX!] The dice appeared and spun around six times before stopping when it showed six dots. [SCYTHE STRIKE!] Dante ran forwards and rammed the Osiris Scythe into the Frost Knight Phantom’s back, just as it was getting up. The Frost Knight Phantom’s shield absorbed most of the attack, but then it shattered. Sparks flew from the Frost Knight Phantom’s back as the Osiris Scythe’s blade bit into its back.

The Frost Knight Phantom spun around and Dante blocked its black with the shaft of the Osiris Scythe. Only to be punched across the faceplate by the Frost Knight Phantom’s free fist. “Ow!” he stumbled back in pain and was slashed across the chest plate by the Frost Knight Phantom’s blade. Frost started to spread over his body. “Not again!” shouted Dante right before he was completely frozen. The Frost Knight Phantom slashed him again, sending Dante flying out of the ice and over the edge of the platform.

“Dante!” shouted Sunset, taking her attention away from the Hell Knight Phantom for a second and being shield bashed in the faceplate. “Owie!” 

“I’m fine!” shouted Dante. He turned the Osiris Scythe’s handle. [HOOK MODE!] This made it transform into the Angel Lift. Dante hooked it into the Frost Knight Phantom and was able to pull himself back onto the platform before the Frost Knight Phantom shook the Angel Lift off its body.

Dante drew Ivory and punched the Osiris Ring into the back of its hammer. [OSIRIS!] Two rings of light blue and a single red of white magical energy were pulled into the white hand cannon. [IVORY STRIKE!] Dante took aim and fired a single light blue energy beam. It slammed into the Frost Knight Phantom as it used its blade to block and force the beam back, albeit at a slower pace.

Dante stopped the beam and rolled to the side as he punched the Osiris Ring into the back of Ebony’s Hammer while firing a spike from Kablooey into the Frost Knight Phantom’s back as it ran past him. [OSIRIS!] Three rings of energy were pulled into Ebony, one was black and the other two were light blue. [EBONY STRIKE!] Dante let go of the trigger and fired a burst of light blue and black bullets into the Frost Knight Phantom, along with another spike from Kablooey. The Frost Knight Phantom was able to block the bullets with its energy shield, but the spike stabbed into it.

The Frost Knight Phantom slammed its sword into the ground, sending a wave of ice at Dante. “That’s new!” shouted Dante as he punched the Osiris Ring into the Osiris Scythe’s slot. [ONE!] The dice rolled and stopped on a one. [SCYTHE STRIKE!] Dante spun the Osiris Scythe several times to build up speed before ramming it into the ice wave. His arm jerked, instead of cutting through the ice wave as he planned, the Osiris Scythe was stopped by the ice. Ice spread over the polearm and quickly froze Dante into a block of it before he even had time to swear.

The Frost Knight Phantom ran forwards and rammed its sword into the ice block, shattering it and sending Dante flying with sparks coming from his body. He slammed into the ground and slid back several feet before flipped back to his boots. “That hurt!” his visors shone in rage as he switched the Osiris Ring for the Aquila Ring and punched it into his Driver’s left slot. [SET!] Dante turned his wrist back, then forwards, making his Driver’s gate close and open. [OPEN!] The Aquila magic circle appeared from Dante’s Driver and moved back through him. [A-Q-U-I-L-A!] Transforming Dante into the Aquila Style. The Frost Knight Phantom ran at Dante as he punched the Aquila Ring into the Aquila Star’s slot. [FOUR!] The dice appeared and spun, stopping on a four. [SHURIKEN STRIKE!] Dante launched the Aquila Stars at the Frost Knight Phantom they circled around it, transforming into a ring of light blue light that slammed closed, trapping the Phantom’s arms to its body. Sparks came from the Frost Knight Phantom as the inside of the ring acted as a buzzsaw cutting into the Phantom’s body.

Dante took this opening to fire another pair of spikes from Kablooey into the Frost Knight Phantom then he punched the Aquila Ring into the Aquila Star’s slot. [TWO!] The dice appeared and spun, stopping when it displayed two light blue dots. [SHURIKEN STRIKE!] Dante pulled back the Aquila Stars and hurled them forwards. They spun through the air and circled around the Frost Knight Phantom, transforming into a circle of light blue light. The circle slammed closed around the Phantom, further trapping it. But it did not end there, the circle moved back towards Dante, pulling the helpless Frost Knight Phantom along with it.

Dante made a third set of Aquila Stars appear in his gloves and punched the Aquila Ring into their slot. [FIVE!] The dice spun so that it displayed five dots. [SHURIKEN STRIKE!] Dante covered himself in the light blue wind and charged forwards, shoulder charging the Frost Knight Phantom and sending it flying, breaking it free of both binds.

“Time to finish this fight!” Dante punched the Aquila Ring into the Aquila Star’s slot. [SIX!] The dice spun around once, changing sides so that it now showed six light blue dots. [SHURIKEN STRIKE!] Dante let the light blue wind gather around him as he twisted his body slightly. Then he jumped into the air while spinning. A tornado of the light blue wind formed around him as he closed in on the Frost Knight Phantom. It was at the edge of the platform they were on so it had nowhere to go and was slashed over and over again by the Aquila Stars as Dante spun. Sparks flew from its body as the light blue wind cut into it, adding to the damage that the Phantom was already on the receiving end of.

Dante stopped spinning and slammed both of his boots into the Frost Knight Phantom’s chest. It was sent flying over the edge of the platform and into the endless drop. Dante looked over the edge and held up Kablooey. He pressed down on the gun’s second trigger. [BOOM!] The four spikes he had shot into the Frost Knight Phantom exploded, causing the Phantom to explode as well.

Symbol had been fighting against the Hell Knight Phantom just as hard as her brother had been fighting the Frost Knight Phantom.

Symbol switched the Bind Ring for the Defend Ring and struck her Wizard Driver’s right Shift Lever. [MAGIC TOUCHIE HENSHIN!] Then Symbol scanned her right glove across her Wizard Driver’s Hand Author. [BOOST DEFEND PLEASE!] Symbol jumped to the right as she held her right glove out to the side. The Hell Knight Phantom’s back came down just where she had been standing as the defend magic circle appeared in Symbol’s flight path and she passed through it. Transforming into the Active Boost Defend Style. Symbol landed back on the ground and combat rolled as she pressed her Wizard Driver’s right Shift Lever twice. [MAGIC TOUCHIE GO!] Symbol scanned her right glove across her Wizard Driver’s Hand Author and yelped as she turned around, seeing the Hell Knight Phantom’s blade arcing towards her faceplate. [DEFEND MAGIC PLEASE!] Symbol used the Defend Shield to block the attack but was still send skidding backwards from the force of the attack. She would have fallen off the edge if she had not triggered the Boost Grieves to cancel out her momentum.

“Alright, I’m not going to last long like this, so its time for a bit more power!” Symbol switched the Active Ring for the Giga Ring and pressed her Wizard Driver’s left Shift Lever. [MAGICAL TOUCH HENSHIN!] She scanned her left glove across her Wizard Driver’s Hand Author. [GIGA PLEASE!] Symbol held her left glove down to the ground and the Giga magic circle appeared under her boots before rising up through her. [BREAK THROUGH!] Transforming Symbol into the Giga Style. The Hell Knight Phantom ran forwards and slammed its sword into Symbol’s chest plate, drawing a few sparks but not enough to phase the Kamen Rider as she drew the Giga Axe. She pulled on the Giga Axe’s thumb, opening its Hand Author. [COME ON A SMASH SHAKE HANDS!] Then Symbol scanned her left glove over the Giga Axe’s Hand Author. [GIGA SMASH STRIKE!] Green magical energy surged through the Giga Axe as Symbol swung it up and brought it down. “Giga Strike!” shouted Symbol as the Giga Axe slammed into the Hell Knight Phantom’s shield, sending the Phantom sliding back.

Symbol had enough room to convert the Giga Axe into the Giga Spear as she pulled on its thumb, causing its Hand Author to open once more. [COME ON A STAB SHAKE HANDS!] Symbol scanned the Giga Ring over the Giga Spear’s Hand Author. [GIGA! STAB STRIKE!] Green magical energy swirled around the Giga Spear as Symbol drew it back. The Hell Knight Phantom saw this and stabbed its sword into the ground. “No, you don’t! Piercing Giga!” shouted Symbol as she hurled the Giga Spear forwards. It transformed into a bolt of green magical energy that roared forwards, aiming for the Hell Knight Phantom’s head. Just before the bolt could hit its target, a wall of magma exploded from the ground, blocking it. The bolt transformed back into the Giga Spear that spiralled through the air, Symbol jumped up and caught it before landing back on the ground as the magma wall faded to reveal an unharmed Hell Knight Phantom.

“That was new,” commented Symbol as she added the Bombardment and Drill Rings to her right glove, then pressed her Wizard Driver’s right Shift Lever. [MAGIC TOUCHIE HENSHIN!] Symbol scanned her right glove across her Wizard Driver’s Hand Author as the Hell Knight Phantom tried to pull its sword from the ground. [BOMBARDMENT DRILL PLEASE!] She held her right glove down to the ground as the two magic circles appeared before rising up through her. The Hell Knight Phantom looked to be having some trouble as its sword was stuck into a floor made of diamond-hard crystal.

Before Symbol could fire, she looked to the side and her visors went wide as she saw Dante being blown off the edge of the platform. “Dante!” shouted Sunset, taking her attention away from the Hell Knight Phantom for a second and being shield bashed in the faceplate as it got its sword out of the ground. “Owie!” 

“I’m fine!” shouted Dante. 

Anything else Dante might have said was lost to Symbol as she took another slash across the chest plate. The Hell Knight Phantom seemed to have learned and was charging its sword with a layer of blazing energy that cancelled out the Giga Style’s toughness. Symbol quickly hit her Wizard Driver’s left Shift Lever three times. [MAGICAL TOUCH SPELL!] Then she scanned her left glove over her Wizard Driver’s Hand Author. [GIGA A RANK SPELL!] Green magical energy surged up her arms as she crossed them, blocking the next downwards swing from the Hell Knight Phantom’s sword, not taking any damage from it this time.

Symbol uncrossed her arms, making the Hell Knight Phantom stagger from the sudden loss of resistance as she pressed her Wizard Driver’s left Shift Lever once. [MAGICAL TOUCH SPELL!] Symbol scanned her left glove over her Wizard Driver’s Hand Author as green magical energy swirled inwards. [GIGA C RANK SPELL!] She covered her right glove in green magical energy as she pulled back her fist and slammed it forwards. The Hell Knight Phantom got its shield up just in time but was still taken off its feet by the force behind the blow.

“Now’s my chance!” shouted Symbol as she pressed her Wizard Driver’s right Shift Lever once. [MAGIC TOUCHIC GO!] The Hell Knight Phantom got back up as Symbol scanned her right glove over her Wizard Driver’s Hand Author. [BOMBARDMENT MAGIC PLEASE!] The Spiral Cannon took aim and fired a wide beam of blue spiralling energy. It soared through the air and slammed into the Hell Knight Phantom’s shield. At first, the Phantom was pushed back, but at then its feet got a grip in the ground and it started to force the beam back as it moved forwards.

“All right, if that's how you wanna play!” Symbol pressed her Wizard Driver’s right Shift Lever twice. [MAGIC TOUCHIC GO!] Purple magical energy started to gather around the Spiral Cannon as Symbol scanned her right glove over her Wizard Driver’s Hand Author. [DRILL MAGIC PLEASE!] The Spiral Cannon fired a beam of purple magical energy that wrapped around the blue energy beam as a tight spiral. There was a loud cracking noise before the Hell Knight Phantom’s shield exploded. The fragments exploded outwards with enough force to cancel out the beam, saving the Hell Knight Phantom from death.

“Let's do this!” shouted Symbol as she switched the rings on her right glove for the Punch and Quake Rings. [MAGIC TOUCHIE HENSHIN!] The Hell Knight Phantom got back up as Symbol scanned her right glove over her Wizard Driver’s Hand Author. [PUNCH QUAKE PLEASE!] Symbol held her right glove out to the side and the two magic circles moved through her as the Hell Knight Phantom charged. Transforming Symbol into the Giga Punch Quake Style. As the Hell Knight Phantom got closer, Symbol hit her Wizard Driver’s right Shift Lever twice. [MAGIC TOUCHIC GO!] Symbol pulled back her left glove as she scanned her right glove over her Wizard Driver’s Hand Author. [QUAKE MAGIC PLEASE!] The piston on Symbol’s left glove pulled back as Symbol slammed it into the ground. The right piston fired and the ground shook from the force of the punch, making the Hell Knight Phantom fall over.

Symbol ran towards the Hell Knight Phantom as she struck her Wizard Driver’s right Shift Lever once. [MAGIC TOUCHIC GO!] The Hell Knight Phantom had just started to get back up as Symbol scanned her right glove over her Wizard Driver’s Hand Author. [PUNCH MAGIC PLEASE!] It got back up just in time for an uppercut to slam into its face. The already primmed piston on Symbol’s left wrist fired and the Phantom shot upwards into the air.

“Finale!” stated Symbol as the Phantom fell back towards the ground. She pressed her Wizard Driver’s left Shift Lever four times. [MAGICAL TOUCH GO! VERY NICE!] The Hell Knight Phantom was nearing the ground as Symbol scanned her left glove over her Wizard Driver’s Hand Author. [GIGA! S RANK SPELL! THE BEST!] Green magical energy swirled around her fists as both of the pistons pulled back. Symbol slammed her fists into the ground. “Magma Blade!” out of which exploded a black of magma that slammed into the Phantom, washing over it. Several seconds later a powerful explosion ripped through the area as the Hell Knight Phantom died.

“That was a bit of a workout,” stated Dante as he jumped the gap, narrowly missing the surge of flame that tore up from the pit. Knowing the Symbol would be right behind him, he ran up the slope, then jumped to another platform made of crystal, that had a tree on it for some reason.

He let the Aquila Stars appear and pressed the button on them before slamming them together. [HOOK MODE!] The Aquila Stars broke apart and combined into the Angel Lift. Dante used it to pull himself up to the bottom of a floating rock and then pressed the Aquila Ring into his Driver’s left slot before turning his wrist forwards. [KICK STRIKE GO!] Dante was covered in the light blue wind as he kicked off the air behind him. He shot forwards and used the Angel Lift to pull himself over to another rock before kicking off the air behind himself once more.

Dante landed on the next platform made of green crystal.

Symbol landed next to him in her Swift Wing Zoomer Style.

Five Elite Blade Phantoms pulled themselves out of the ground.

“Nuts!” muttered Symbol.

“At least it can’t get any worse,” Dante made the mistake of saying.

“Don’t say that!” shouted Symbol.

It was too late as a Butcher Phantom pulled itself out of the ground with its buzzsaws roaring.

Symbol glared at her brother.

“Sunset, I really don’t think we are talking cause and effect here,” Dante defended himself.

“You're fighting the Butcher Phantom this time!” Symbol snarled out.

“Got it,” muttered Dante as it was clear that his sister was mad.

Symbol pressed her Wizard Driver’s left Shift Lever once. [MAGICAL TOUCH GO!] The five Elite Blade Phantom charged at Symbol as she scanned her left glove across her Wizard Driver’s Hand Author. [SWIFT! C RANK SPELL!] She crossed her left glove across her chestplate and fired five orbs of yellow magical energy. They shot towards the Elite Blade Phantoms, only for the Phantoms to block them with the flat sides of their blades. Sparks sprayed in all directions but the orbs were unable to do any damage.

Three of the Elite Blade Phantoms continued their charge, while the other two slammed their blades into the ground, sending a line of fire at Symbol. She pressed her Wizard Driver’s right Shift Lever once. [MAGIC TOUCHIE GO!] She scanned her right glove over her Wizard Driver’s Hand Author as the Elite Blade Phantoms jumped into the air, letting the lines of fire pass under them. [WING MAGIC PLEASE!] Symbol vanished, the Elite Blade Phantoms came down, slamming their swords into the ground. They looked around for several seconds and went back to back. Suddenly, sparks flew from the other two Elite Blade Phantoms as they were assaulted by a yellow blur. Sparks flew from all directions at the blur looked to be everywhere at once. In reality, Symbol was just flying incredibly fast, assaulting the two Elite Blade Phantoms at such speeds that it looked like she was everywhere at once.

Suddenly, Symbol stooped, she stood on the ground and pressed her Wizard Driver’s left Shift Lever four times. [MAGICAL TOUCH GO! VERY NICE!] The five Elite Blade Phantoms turned towards her as she scanned her left glove over her Wizard Driver’s Hand Author. [SWIFT! S RANK SPELL! THE BEST!] She spread all four of her Speed Wings as they blazed with yellow magical energy. “High Speed!” shouted Symbol as she fired four bolts of yellow magical energy that rocketed through the air. They zoomed towards the two Elite Blade Phantoms that were on their own. Symbol was aiming to kill both of them but one of the Elite Blade Phantoms pulled the other in front of it! “Talk about comradeship!” muttered Symbol as the Elite Blade Phantom was hit by all four bolts and consumed by a loud explosion.

“Argh!” shouted Symbol as one of the three Elite Blade Phantoms that had been chasing her closed the distance. Sparks flew from her chest plate as the Elite Blade Phantom slashed her. Symbol staggered back as she switched the Wing Ring for the Turbo Ring and pressed her Wizard Driver’s right Shift Lever. [MAGIC TOUCHIE HENSHIN!] The Elite Blade Phantom set itself on fire and slashed at her but Symbol ducked out of the way as she scanned her right glove over her Wizard Driver’s Hand Author. [TURBO ZOOMER PLEASE!] She held her right glove into the air and the turbo magic circle appeared before falling through her, transforming Symbol into the Swift Turbo Zoomer Style. The Elite Blade Phantom had been knocked back several paces by the turbo magic circle, but it quickly closed the distance again. Symbol glanced to the side and saw that the other three Elite Blade Phantoms were also getting closer.

‘I’ve got to finish this! Fast!’ thought Symbol as she struck her Wizard Driver’s right Shift Lever twice. [MAGIC TOUCHIE GO!] The Elite Blade Phantom slashed down towards Symbol as she scanned her right glove over her Wizard Driver’s Hand Author. [ZOOMER MAGIC PLEASE!] Red magical energy surged around her body as her visors glowed. Time slowed down around Symbol. She looked up and gulped, the Elite Blade Phantom’s sword was an inch away from her helmet.

“That was close,” Symbol took a step back as she hit her Wizard Driver’s right Shift Lever once. [MAGIC TOUCHIE GO!] The Elite Blade Phantom finished its swing, missing her as she scanned her right glove over her Wizard Driver’s Hand Author. [TURBO MAGIC PLEASE!] The right Turbo Gauntlet whined to life as Symbol pulled back her right fist and punched the Elite Blade Phantom, sending it flying back and crashing into two of the other three Elite Blade Phantoms.

The fourth Elite Blade Phantom turned to its fellow Phantoms, taking its eyes of Symbol for a second. Which was all the time she needed to change to the Arrow and Sniper Rings while pressing down on her Wizard Driver’s right Shift Lever. [MAGIC TOUCHIE HENSHIN!] Symbol scanned her right glove over her Wizard Driver’s Hand Author as the Elite Blade Phantom that was still on its feet turned back to her. [ARROW SNIPER PLEASE!] Then Symbol held her right glove into the air as the two magic circles appeared and fell through her, transforming Symbol into her Swift Arrow Sniper Style. She slammed her glove down on her Wizard Driver’s left Shift Lever four times. [MAGICAL TOUCH GO! VERY NICE!] Symbol pointed the Sniper Crossbow at the Elite Blade Phantom as she scanned the Swift Ring over her Wizard Driver’s Hand Author. [SWIFT! S RANK SPELL! THE BEST!] Yellow magical energy gathered in a sphere at the tip of the Sniper Crossbow. Symbol braced it against her shoulder pauldron as the Elite Blade Phantom rammed its sword into the ground. “Arrow Buster!” before the Elite Blade Phantom could fire a line of fire at Symbol, she pulled the trigger. The orb transformed into a beam, the tip of which was shaped like an arrowhead. It closed the distance in a heartbeat, smashing a hole in the Elite Blade Phantom’s stomach, then it blasted a second hole through another Elite Blade Phantom. Yellow lightning crackled over both of their bodies as they both fell over and exploded.

“Three down, two to go,” muttered Symbol as she saw the other two Elite Blade Phantom’s slam their swords into the ground. “No, you don’t!” she switched the Swift Ring for the Burst Ring and pressed her Wizard Driver’s left Shift Lever. [MAGICAL TOUCH HENSHIN!] Symbol scanned her left glove over her Wizard Driver’s Hand Author as the two Elite Blade Phantom’s set themselves on fire. [BURST PLEASE!] She held her left glove out to the side, the burst magic circle appeared behind her and moved through her as the flames were pulled down the Elite Blade Phantom’s swords. [CAST THE SPELL!] Transforming Symbol into her Burst Style as she pressed her Wizard Driver’s left Shift Lever three times. [MAGICAL TOUCH GO!] Symbol scanned her left glove over her Wizard Driver’s Hand Author as the Elite Blade Phantoms fired flames along the ground towards her. [BURST! A RANK SPELL!] Right before the two lines of flame could slam into Symbol, a wall of earth burst from the ground, stopping the hot attack cold.

While in cover, behind her wall, Symbol added the Sand and Glass Rings to her right glove before pressing down on her Wizard Driver’s right Shift Lever. [MAGIC TOUCHIE HENSHIN!] The Elite Blade Phantoms started to approach the wall as Symbol scanned her right glove across her Wizard Driver’s Hand Author. [SAND GLASS PLEASE!] She held her right glove out to the side as the two magic circles appeared and passed through her. The Elite Blade Phantoms got around the wall at ran at Symbol as she pressed her Wizard Driver’s right Shift Lever once. [MAGIC TOUCHIE GO!] The Elite Blade Phantoms leapt at her as Symbol scanned her right glove across her Wizard Driver’s Hand Author. [SAND MAGIC PLEASE!] Just before the Elite Blade Phantoms were able to make contact with Symbol, a storm of sandblasted out of her body and slammed into the Elite Blade Phantoms, sending the both of them flying backwards with sparks coming from their body as the tinny grains of sand went up in tiny explosions. They were sent flying over the edge and exploded. “Huh,” Symbol blinked. “That was easier than I thought it was going to be,” she commented.

Dante made a big mistake at the start of his fight. “At least this can’t get any worse.”

Then a second Butcher Phantom pulled itself out of the ground.

“Ok, now I KNOW it can’t get any worse. I don’t care what Sunset says. That is not a case of cause and effect,” stated Dante.

Then a Wizard Phantom appeared out of thin air.

“Ok, maybe what Sunset said has some merit and I should just shut up now,” whimpered Dante. He took note of his opponents. “There is no way I can fight all three of them at once as normal. I’ll use Angel Trigger Style to take out the Wizard Phantom and avoid the Butcher Phantoms. Then I’ll use the Devil Trigger Style to remove the Butcher Phantoms,” planned Dante to himself.

Dante slid the Trigger Ring in its Angel Mode onto his left middle finger and punched it into his Driver’s left slot. [TRIGGER!] Dante turned his wrist back, then forwards, making his Driver’s gate close and open again. [GO ANGEL!] The angel trigger magic circle appeared from Dante’s Driver and moved back through him. [AN-AN-AN-ANGEL!] Transforming Dante into his Angel Trigger Style. He grabbed the Rebellion Magnum in its Aquila Mode as it appeared in the air. Dante punched the Trigger Ring into the back of the Rebellion Magnum. [ANGEL ONE!] He pointed the gun out to the side as a wind blue one appeared next to the Rebellion Magnum’s skull. Dante jumped over ten buzzsaws that were sent flying at him as he pulled the trigger. [MAGNUM STRIKE!] Five bullets flew to the side and arced around, slamming into the Wizard Phantom from the side, putting over a dozen cracks into its shield.

Dante glanced at the Butcher Phantoms and saw them getting ready to throw more saws at him. He punched the Trigger Ring into the back of the Rebellion Magnum. [ANGEL TWO!] The holographic one transformed into a holographic two. [MAGNUM STRIKE!] Dante took aim and fired a pair of bullets that flew past the Butcher Phantoms and circled around the Wizard Phantom. They formed into a circle of light blue light that slammed inwards. Crushing the Wizard Phantom’s shield and shattering it. The circle bound the Wizard Phantom’s arms to its sides and moved back towards Dante at high speeds. The Butcher Phantoms threw their buzzsaws forwards, the circle-shaped saws roared through the air, just as the Wizard Phantom was pulled between them and Dante. Sparks exploded from the back of the Wizard Phantom as it was cut into by the buzzsaws. 

Micro-explosions went off around the Wizard Phantom before it went up in a massive explosion.

“Thanks a lot, you two!” Dante shouted at the Butcher Phantoms as he changed the Trigger Ring from its Angel Mode into its Devil Mode. [TRIGGER!] Dante punched the Trigger Ring into his Driver’s left slot and turned his wrist back, then forwards, making his Driver’s gate close before opening again. [DEVIL GO!] The devil trigger magic circle appeared from Dante’s Driver and moved back through him. [DE-DE-DE-DEVIL!] Transforming him into his Devil Trigger Style. Dante grabbed the Rebellion Magnum in its Eryx Mode and punched the Devil Trigger Ring into the back of it. [TWO! DEVIL!] A flame red holographic one with earth red outlines appeared next to the Rebellion Magnum’s skull. [MAGNUM STRIKE!] Dante took aim at the first Butcher Phantom and fired three bursts of red magical energy. It blocked the first burst with its buzzsaws, the second broke its guard and the third slammed into its face making sparks explode from it.

Suddenly, Dante heard the sound of buzzsaws cutting through the air. He punched the Devil Trigger Ring into his Driver’s left slot and turned his wrist forwards. [GO! DEVIL!] Red magical energy ran from his belt, into his right boot. [KICK STRIKE!] Dante spun around, kicking the five buzzsaws that had been flying at him away. They were covered in red magical energy and went shooting back, drawing sparks from the second Butcher Phantom.

Dante took aim at the first Butcher Phantom and punched the Devil Trigger Ring into the back of the Rebellion Magnum. [THREE! DEVIL!] The two changed into a three as Dante lined up his shot. [MAGNUM STRIKE!] The Butcher Phantom threw a large vertical buzzsaw at Dante, just as he fired a beam of red magical energy from the Rebellion Magnum. The beam hit the buzzsaw just as it arced upwards, sending the buzzsaw shooting into the air. The Butcher Phantom stomped forwards, only to be brained over the top of it by its own buzzsaw as it came back down.

“Now’s my chance!” while the first Butcher Phantom was still stunned, Dante pressed down on the Rebellion Magnum’s trigger. [DEVIL!] Ten rings of flame red magical energy were pulled into the Rebellion Magnum’s barrel as it started charging up. [MAGNUM STRIKE!] Dante took aim and pulled the trigger. “Uppercut!” out of the Rebellion Magnum roared a beam of red magical energy that arched upwards, slamming into the first Butcher Phantom and carrying it into the air. Sparks flew from its body while micro explosions went off around it as the beam pressed into the first Butcher Phantom. After five seconds of continuous damage coming from the beam, the Butcher Phantom went up in a massive explosion.

Dante turned around. “Argh!” just in time for the second Butcher Phantom to punch him in the faceplate. He was sent flying back with sparks coming from his faceplate. He landed back on the ground and slid along his back for several seconds, he got back up and his visors glowed with fury.

Dante punched the Devil Trigger Ring into the back of the Rebellion Magnum. [FOUR! DEVIL!] The holographic three turned into a holographic four. [MAGNUM STRIKE!] Dante jumped into the air as the Rebellion Magnum’s barrel started to glow with red magical energy. He pointed it down and fired a column-sized beam that slammed into the Butcher Phantom. It crossed both of its buzzsaws as sparks splayed out in all directions. The Butcher Phantom was pushed back and slammed into a pillar, breaking its guard and making micro explosions go off around it as it was hammed into the pillar by this massive amount of magical power.

Dante landed back on the ground as the Butcher Phantom was getting back up, he punched the Devil Trigger Ring into the back of the Rebellion Magnum again. [FIVE! DEVIL!] The four transformed into a five as Dante pointed the Rebellion Magnum up into the air. [MAGNUM STRIKE!] He fired five shots of red magical energy that shot into the air, arced downwards and slammed into the Butcher Phantom. They detonated in massive explosions that made sparks explode from the Phantom’s body.

Dante landed back on the ground. “One more to go,” he murmured as he punched the Devil Trigger Ring into the back of the Rebellion Magnum. [SIX! DEVIL!] The six increased its value by one and turned into a six. [MAGNUM STRIKE!] Dante took aim as red magical energy gathered within the Rebellion Magnum. He pulled the trigger and fired a massive beam of red magical energy that raced forwards and slammed into the Butcher Phantom. Sparks were sprayed in all directions as the beam made the sound of metal on a chainsaw against the Butcher Phantoms body. When the beam tapered off, the Butcher Phantom fell to its knees, badly injured.

“Time to end this!” shouted Dante as he held the Rebellion Magnum at arm's length and held down on its trigger. [DEVIL!] Ten rings of burning red magical energy were pulled into the Rebellion Magnum. [MAGNUM STRIKE!] Dante let go of the Rebellion Magnum’s trigger. “Snake Eyes!” firing a red magical energy blast that transformed into a construct of the Eryx Gauntlets. It smashed into the Butcher Phantom and exploded in a cloud of red energy.

When the smoke from the explosion cleared, the Butcher Phantom was still alive but had red lightning sparking over its body. “Die already!” shouted Dante as he punched the Devil Trigger Ring into his Driver’s left slot. [GO! DEVIL!] Dante turned his wrist forwards as red magical energy was pulled from the air like shooting stars into his right boot. [KICK STRIKE!] He dashed forwards and buried his right boot into the Butcher Phantom’s face. Sparks exploded from it as the Butcher Phantom had now had micro explosions going off around its body before it exploded.

[SET!] [OPEN!] [A-Q-U-I-L-A!] With the fight now over, Dante transformed back into the Aquila Style and jumped to a rock, then he leapt to a second rock before jumping to a third rock.

But the next gap was too far. Dante looked around for a second. “That could work,” he switched the Aquila Ring for the Arbiter Ring and punched it into his Driver’s left slot. [SET!] Dante turned his wrist back, then forwards, making his Driver’s gate close and open again. [OPEN!] The arbiter magic circle appeared from Dante’s Driver and moved back through him. [A-R-B-I-T-E-R!] Transforming Dante into the Arbiter Style. He took the Arbiter Axe off his backplate and turned his handle. [GRAPPLE MODE!] Making the polearm, shift into the Demon Pulled. Dante used it to yank a floating green crystal rock over from the side. “Perfect!” he jumped to the rock, then to the next platform.

Dante used the Demon Pull to pulled a piece of rubble away from another rock. “This is going to get really old really fast,” he muttered to himself. Dante switched the Arbiter Ring for the Osiris Ring and punched it into his Driver’s left slot. [SET!] Dante turned his wrist back, then forwards, making his Driver’s gate close and open again. [OPEN!] The Osiris magic circle appeared from his Driver and moved back through him. [O-S-I-R-I-S!] Transforming Dante into the Osiris Style as he turned the Osiris Scythe’s handle. [HOOK MODE!] The polearm shifted into the Angel Pull and Dante used it to pull himself up to the rock. While in mid-air he punched the Osiris Ring into his Driver’s left slot and turned his wrist forwards. [KICK STRIKE GO!] Dante was wrapped in the light blue wind as he kicked off the air behind him and shot forwards landing on the next island.

Symbol landed behind her brother on the island in her Swift Wing Sniper Style.

At that moment a Ravager Phantom and a Hell Knight Phantom burst from the ground.

“Dante I swear if you say: “This can’t get any worse” or “It's not at bad as it could have been” I’m throwing you off this island,” Symbol promised her brother.

“What about-?” Dante started to ask.

“No!” shouted Symbol. “Nothing along those lines!”

“But-” began Dante.

“Period!” shouted Symbol.

“Ok,” Dante’s sister could be scary sometimes!

“You're already dressed for it, so you take the Hell Knight Phantom. I’ll handle the Ravager Phantom,” ordered Symbol.

“Fine,” Dante switched the Osiris Ring for the Eryx Ring and punched it into his Driver’s left slot. [SET!] Dante turned his wrist back, then forwards, making his Driver’s gate close and open again. [OPEN!] The Eryx magic circle appeared from Dante’s Driver and moved back through him. [E-R-Y-X!] Transforming Dante into the Eryx Style. Just as the transformation was completed, the Hell Knight Phantom stabbed its sword into the ground. Dante punched the Eryx Ring into the back of the right Eryx Gauntlet. [TWO!] A flame red holographic dice appeared above the right Eryx Gauntlet and spun around before stopping on a pair of flame red dots. [FIST STRIKE!] Dante pulled back his right fist and slammed it into the ground, making a tri-pronged barrier appear and block the circle of flames as the ground burst into flame around the Hell Knight Phantom.

Dante ran up the barrier and jumped off it as he punched the Eryx Ring into the back of the right Erx Gauntlet. [FIVE!] The dice rolled once more, landing on a five. [FIST STRIKE!] Dante covered his right fist in red magical energy as he went shooting down, slamming his right fist into the Hell Knight Phantom’s shield. The Phantom’s knees buckled but it was still able to throw Dante off and slash him across the chest plate, making sparks spray out.

Dante stumbled back as he punched the Eryx Ring into the back of the right Eryx Gauntlet once more. [ONE!] The dice rolled onto a one as red flames covered the Eryx Gauntlets. [FIST STRIKE!] Dante punched the Hell Knight Phantom’s shield once with a right hook. Then he lashed out with a left straight before ending the combo on a right downwards swing.

Each blow drove the Hell Knight Phantom back, but it was able to throw its shield to the side at attempted a slash at Dante’s neck. Only to miss as Dante jumped back and punched the Eryx Ring into the slot on the right Eryx Gauntlet again. [FOUR!] The dice changed sides, now it showed four red dots. [FIST STRIKE!] Dante covered the left Eryx Gauntlet in flame red magical energy as he dashed forwards and slammed his fist towards the Hell Knight Phantom’s face.

The Phantom was able to block with its shield but was still sent skidding backwards. It slammed its sword into the ground and fired a wave of flame from the ground at Dante. He punched the Eryx Ring into the right Eryx Gauntlet’s slot. [TWO!] The dice spun onto a pair of red dots. [FIST STRIKE!] The left Eyx Gauntlet was covered in red magical energy as Dante slammed it into the ground once more creating another three-pronged shield from the ground.

Only for Dante to quickly realised that the barrier was not high enough to stop the wave of fire which was quickly approaching. “This isn’t good,” muttered Dante as he pressed the trigger inside the left Eryx Gauntlet. [FIST STRIKE!] Red magical energy surged around her right fist, mixing with flames as Dante pulled it back and punched his own barrier, shattering it. “Slam!” shouted Dante as the barrier transformed into a dome around him with six prongs. Dante started to sweat as little as the flames roared up the dome but he was left completely unharmed by the attack.

“That shield has to go,” muttered Dante as he punched the Eryx Ring into the back of the right Eryx Gauntlet once more. [SIX!] The dice rolled onto a six as red magical energy charged into the right Eryx Gauntlet. [FIST STRIKE!] Dante pulled back his right fist and slammed it towards the Hell Knight Phantom. Which blocked with its shield, only to be sent sliding back with a crack cutting through the centre of the shield.

“Now!” shouted Dante as he ran towards the Hell Knight Phantom while pressing down on the left Eryx Gauntlet’s trigger. [FIST STRIKE!] A massive surge of red magical energy covered the left Eryx Gauntlet and formed into a construct. It followed Dante’s movements as he slammed his fist forwards. “Snake Eyes!” despite knowing that it was what he wanted, the Hell Knight Phantom blocked with its shield again. The shield shattered as the left Eryx Gauntlet and the construct slammed into the Hell Knight Phantom’s shield. The fragments of shield exploded, sending the Hell Knight Phantom staggering backwards.

Before Dante was able to do anything else, the Hell Knight Phantom was covered in an explosion of flame that sent Dante flying back. He hit the ground with a low *BOOM!* then he got back up and saw that a red aura had covered the Hell Knight Phantom. “You can do that now?!” he demanded. “That’s bullshit!”

The Hell Knight Phantom charged. Dante had seen this glow several times and knew full well what its effect was and was prepared. He punched the Eryx Ring into the back of the right Eryx Gauntlet. [TWO!] The dice appeared and spun around several times, stopping on a pair of red dots. [FIST STRIKE!] Dante pulled back his right fist and slammed it into the ground, making the three-pronged barrier appear once more.

The Hell Knight Phantom smashed through the barrier like it was made of glass and slashed at Dante. Who dodged and fired four spikes from Kablooey into the Hell Knight Phantom’s body. The Hell Knight Phantom kicked Dante’s boots out from under him. Dante landed on his backplate and looked up, seeing the Hell Knight Phantom lift up its sword. The Phantom slammed its sword down, just as Dante rolled out of the way. He gulped when he saw the sword crack crystal.

From his position on the ground, Dante punched the Eryx Ring into the back of the right Eryx Gauntlet. [THREE!] The dice appeared and spun, stopping when it displayed three red dots. [FIST STRIKE!] Dante got to one knee guard as he threw an uppercut with his left fist. The left Eryx Gauntlet met the Hell Knight Phantom’s sword on it's second downward swung. Red energy was blasted in all directions.

Dante could have sworn that he heard Symbol shout his name as the sword started to force his fist back down. Dante pressed the trigger inside the left Eryx Gauntlet. [FIST STRIKE!] Red magical energy surged around Dante’s right fist before peeling off to form a construct of the Eryx Gauntlet. The two fists smashed into the Hell Knight Phantom’s sword, cracks spread through it before the sword shattered into a billion pieces.

The Hell Knight Phantom’s aura flickered and faded. Dante would have grinned if he was in his human form as he pressed the Eryx Ring into the right Eryx Gauntlet’s slot. [ONE!] The dice appeared and spun, stopping on a single red dot. [FIST STRIKE!] Red magical energy surged into the Eryx Gauntlets as Dante punched the Hell Knight Phantom in the face with a right hook, then ducked it in the stomach with a left punch before double punching the Phantom in the face, sending it flying backwards.

Dante pressed a button in the right Eryx Gauntlet as he slammed them together. [GRAPPLE MODE!] The two gauntlets broke into pieces and combined into the Demon Pull. Dante hooked it onto the Hell Knight Phantom in mid-flight and yanked it back towards him as he turned the Demon Pull’s handle [FIST MODE!] The grappling hook broke into pieces and transformed back into the Eryx Gauntlets.

As the Hell Knight Phantom came flying through the air, Dante punched the Eryx Ring into the right Eryx Gauntlet’s slot. [SIX!] The dice spun around several times, stopping when it showed six red dots. [FIST STRIKE!] Dante covered his right fist in red magical energy as he pulled it back and slammed it into the Hell Knight Phantom’s face. Its momentum was painfully cancelled as it flipped through the air and landed on its face.

Dante punched the Eryx Ring into his Driver’s left slot and turned his wrist forwards. [GO! KICK STRIKE!] The Hell Knight Phantom had just started to get back up as Dante’s right boot was covered in red magical energy. “Snake Eyes!” Dante spun around and side kicked the Hell Knight Phantom in the face, sending it flying with sparks coming from its head as it tore a hole in the ground with its body.

Dante pulled out Kablooey and pressed the gun’s second trigger. [BOOM!] All of the spikes embedded into the Hell Knight Phantom exploded at the same time, taking out the Hell Knight Phantom.

Symbol dodged away from the Ravager Phantom as it set itself on fire and charged at her. She switched the Swift Ring for the Burst Ring and pressed her Wizard Driver’s left Shift Lever. [MAGICAL TOUCH HENSHIN!] Then she scanned her left glove across her Wizard Driver’s Hand Author as the Ravager Phantom turned around again. [BURST PLEASE!] Symbol held her left glove out to the side and the burst magic circle appeared, passing through her. [CAST THE SPELL!] It stopped in front of Symbol, blocking the Ravager Phantom’s sword as it threw up sparks against it.

Symbol took this opportunity to strike her Wizard Driver’s left Shift Lever once. [MAGICAL TOUCH GO!] She scanned her left glove over her Wizard Driver’s Hand Author as the burst magic circle faded away. [BURST! C RANK SPELL!] Four sparks appeared in the air, just in front of the Ravager Phantom. Before the Phantom had any chance to react, the sparks exploded into fireballs. Which slammed into it making a few sparks explode off its body, but not many.

The Phantom was slightly dizzy, which gave Symbol enough time to add the Steam and Mirror Rings to her right glove before pressing her Wizard Driver’s right Shift Lever. [MAGIC TOUCHIE HENSHIN!] She scanned her right glove over her Wizard Driver’s Hand Author. [STEAM MIRROR PLEASE!] Symbol held her right glove out to the side and the two magic circles appeared, they passed over her, transforming her into her Burst Steam Mirror Style.

The Ravager Phantom recovered and revved up its chainsaw as Symbol slammed her glove down on her Wizard Driver’s right Shift Lever twice. [MAGIC TOUCHIE GO!] Symbol scanned her right glove over her Wizard Driver’s Hand Author as the Ravager Phantom set itself on fire. [MIRROR MAGIC PLEASE!] The Phantom cut across with its chainsaw, only for a circle of mirrors to appear around Symbol. The second the Ravager Phantom’s chainsaw made contact, the force was reflected back at it, causing the Phantom to stagger back in shock.

While the Ravager Phantom was in shock, Symbol pressed her Wizard Driver’s left Shift Lever twice. [MAGICAL TOUCH GO!] Then she scanned her left glove across her Wizard Driver’s Hand Author as the water vapour in the air started to freeze over. [BURST! B RANK SPELL!] The Ravager Phantom recovered, just in time to be assaulted by four shurikens made of ice that froze out of nowhere.

While the Ravager Phantom was stuck dealing with its four pests, Symbol switched the Steam Ring for the Dust Ring and hit her Wizard Driver’s right Shift Lever. [MAGIC TOUCHIE HENSHIN!] Then Symbol scanned her right glove over her Wizard Driver’s Hand Author. [DUST MIRROR PLEASE!] Symbol held her right glove out to the side and the dust magic circle appeared before moving through her. Transforming Symbol into her Burst Dust Mirror Style.

The Ravager Phantom let loose with a surge of heat from its body, melting the ice shurikens as Symbol hit her Wizard Driver’s right Shift Lever twice. [MAGIC TOUCHIE GO!] The Ravager Phantom charged at the Kamen Rider as she scanned her right glove across her Wizard Driver’s Hand Author. [MIRROR MAGIC PLEASE!] A wall of mirrors appeared in front of the Ravager Phantom. It slammed into them, only to find the force and heat of its own attack reflected back at it, sending it flying back from all of that kinetic and thermal energy.

Then Symbol pressed her Wizard Driver’s right Shift Lever once more. [MAGIC TOUCHIE GO!] She scanned her right glove across her Wizard Driver’s Hand Author as the Ravager Phantom impacted a rock with a crashing noise. [DUST MAGIC PLEASE!] Symbol let loose with a blast of sand from her body that slammed into the Ravager Phantom. The Phantom felt like it had just been punched by a fist the size of its body as it was driven further into the rock.

Then Symbol switched the Mirror Ring for the Radiation Ring as she struck her Wizard Driver’s right Shift Lever. [MAGIC TOUCHIE HENSHIN!] The Ravager Phantom had just started to pull itself out of the hole as Symbol scanned her right glove across her Wizard Driver’s Hand Author. [DUST RADIATION PLEASE!] Symbol held her right glove out to the side as the radiation magic circle appeared and passed through her, transforming Symbol into the Burst Dust Radiation style.

The Ravager Phantom pulled itself out of the rock with a furious roar and set itself on fire as Symbol pressed her Wizard Driver’s right Shift Lever twice. [MAGIC TOUCHIE GO!] Then Symbol scanned her right glove across her Wizard Driver’s Hand Author as the Ravager Phantom charged. [RADIATION MAGIC PLEASE!] Symbol fired a cloud of radiation from her glove that the Ravager Phantom charged right through, not caring about the sparks coming from its body.

“What?!” shouted Symbol in shock, right before the Ravager Phantom rammed its chainsaw into her chest plate. “Argh!” shouted Symbol in pain as sparks flew from her chest plate. She was sent flying back and skipped along the ground like a rock does when its thrown across a pond.

Symbol slammed into a rock in a loud cloud of dust. “What the-?!” she grunted in pain. “How did it get so strong all of a sudden?” she looked up and saw the Ravager Phantom was glowing in a black aura. “It can do that too now?! Unfair!” shouted Symbol.

Symbol looked over to the side and was met with a sight that was very bad.

“Dante!” shouted Symbol as she saw her brother on one knee guard, clashing with the Hell Knight Phantom’s sword. At first, she wondered how the Hell Knight Phantom was overpowering her brother, despite the bad angel. Then she saw the red glow around the Hell Knight Phantom. “Oh come on! Can every Phantom on the planet do that now?!” shouted Symbol in shock.

Symbol saw the Ravager Phantom charging at her once more and pressed her Wizard Driver’s right Shift Lever once. [MAGIC TOUCHIE GO!] Symbol scanned her right glove across her Wizard Driver’s Hand Author, then held it out. [DUST MAGIC PLEASE!] From her glove came an orb of green light that was fired forwards in a beam. The Ravager Phantom brought its chainsaw down, splitting the beam like a fork, but it continued to press forward.

‘Got to by some more time,’ thought Symbol as she drew the Burst Staff and pulled on its thumb, opening its Hand Author. [COME ON A SPELL SHAKE HANDS] Symbol scanned her left glove over the Burst Staff’s Hand Author. [BURST! SPELL STRIKE!] Purple magical energy gathered into an orb at the top of the Burst Staff. Then the orb thinned out and split into four spears. “Burst Spears!” shouted Symbol as the spears moved around the slammed into the ground in front of the Ravager Phantom, stopping it's forward progress completely.

At that moment, its cloak failed and it was forced back by the beam, which absorbed the spears and got even stronger. The Ravager Phantom was slammed back into the rock, next to the hole it had left before.

“Final!” shouted Symbol as she turned the top of the Burst Staff, then slid it down, making it compact as it transformed back into the Burst Wand. Symbol pulled on the Burst Wand’s thumb opening its Hand Author. [COME ON A CAST SHAKE HANDS!] Then Symbol scanned the Burst Ring across the Burst Wand’s Hand Author. [BURST! CAST STRIKE!] She took aim with the Burst Wand and purple light swirled inwards like shooting stars gathering into an orb, just in front of the Burst Wand. “Burst Beam!” roared Symbol as the front of the orb collapsed. Transforming the orb into a giant beam of purple magical energy. It was at least a single story tall and slammed into the Ravager Phantom. The Phantom was forced through the rock it was in and the beam washed over it, making a powerful explosion ripple through the area.

Dante ran towards the edge of the platform as he switched the Eryx Ring for the Osiris Ring. He punched the Osiris Ring into his Driver’s left slot. [SET!] Then Dante turned his wrist back, before turning it forwards, making his Driver’s gate close and open again. [OPEN!] The Osiris Ring magic circle appeared from Dante’s Driver and moved back through him. [O-S-I-R-I-S!] Transforming Dante into the Osiris Style as he took the Osiris Sythe off his backplate and turned its handle. [HOOK MODE!] The polearm shifted into the Angel Lift. Dante hooked it onto the bottom of a rock and pulled himself up.

Then Dante switched the Osiris Ring for the Arbiter Ring and punched it into his Driver’s left slot. [SET!] Dante turned his wrist back, then forwards, making his Driver’s gate close and open once more. [OPEN!] The Arbiter magic circle moved back through Dante. [A-R-B-I-T-E-R!] Transforming him into the Arbiter Style as he turned the Arbiter Axe’s handle. [GRAPPLE MODE!] It transformed into the Demon Pull that Dante used to pull a rock into his path.

Dante switched the Arbiter Ring for the Aquila Ring and punched it into his Driver’s left slot. [SET!] Dante turned his wrist back, then forwards, making his Driver’s gate close and open again. [OPEN!] The Aquila magic circle appeared in front of Dante and moved back through him. [A-Q-U-I-L-A!] Transforming Dante into the Aquila Style as he pressed the button on the Aquila Stars. [HOOK MODE!] They slammed together and combined into the Angel Lift that Dante hooked onto a rock and pulled himself to.

While he was still in the air, Dante switched the Aquila Ring for the Eryx Ring and punched it into his Driver’s left slot. [SET!] Dante turned his wrist back, then forwards, making his Driver’s gate close and open again. [OPEN!] The eryx magic circle appeared in front of Dante and moved back through him. [E-R-Y-X!] Transforming Dante into the Eryx Style as he pressed the button inside the right Eryx Gauntlet. [GRAPPLE MODE!] Dante slammed his fists together and the Eryx Gauntlets combined into the Demon Pull that Dante used to yank a piece of rubble into his path.

As he started to fall, Dante switched the Eryx Ring for the Nephilim Ring and punched it into his Driver’s left slot. [SET!] Dante turned his wrist back, then forwards, making his Driver’s gate close and open again. [OPEN!] The Nephilim magic circle appeared in front of Dante and moved back through him, causing his visors to go wide. [N-E-P-H-I-L-I-M!] “Shit! Wrong Ring!” shouted Dante as he transformed into the Nephilim Style. “Shit! I hope this works!” muttered Dante as he turned the Rebellion Blade’s handle. [HOOK MODE!] To his shock and relief the Rebellion Blade transformed into the Angel Lift. “Huh, so that did work,” he hooked it onto a rock and pulled himself over to it, dropping down onto the next platform with ease.

Symbol landed next to him, now in her Swift Wing Zoomer Style.

Dante took no notice as he used the Angel Lift to get too another pair of rocks before pulling himself up to the next island.

At that moment Lesser Blade Phantoms jumped up from the ground.

“We haven’t seen these in a long time,” commented Symbol as she landed beside Dante.

“No we haven’t,” agreed Dante.

Let the battle being.

Symbol switched the Swift Ring for the Active Ring and pressed her Wizard Driver’s left Shift Lever. [MAGICAL TOUCH HENSHIN!] Symbol scanned her left glove over her Wizard Driver’s Hand Author. [ACTIVE PLEASE!] Then she held her left glove out to the side as the active magic circle appeared and passed through her. [LET’S GO!] Transforming Symbol into the Active Style.

Five Lesser Blade Phantoms jumped up from the ground around Symbol as she pressed her Wizard Driver’s left Shift Lever three times. [MAGICAL TOUCH GO!] Symbol scanned her left glove over her Wizard Driver’s Hand Author as red lightning crackled around her body. [ACTIVE! A RANK SPELL!] The lightning shot out in five directions, slamming into the five Phantoms and causing them to explode.

Then Symbol added the Slasher and Aqua Rings to her right glove as she pressed down on her Wizard Driver’s right Shift Lever. [MAGIC TOUCHIE HENSHIN!] She scanned her right glove across her Wizard Driver’s Hand Author. [SLASHER AQUA PLEASE!] Symbol held her right glove out to the side and the two magic circles appeared. They passed through her, transforming her into the Active Slasher Aqua Style.

Symbol charged at a pair of Lesser Blade Phantoms as she pressed her Wizard Driver’s right Shift Lever once. [MAGIC TOUCHIE GO!] She scanned her right glove over her Wizard Driver’s Hand Author. [SLASHER MAGIC PLEASE!] Red lightning covered both of Symbol’s Slasher Tidal Claws as she held them out to the side and cut both of the Lesser Blade Phantoms in half making them explode.

Symbol saw another six Lesser Blade Phantom charging at her from the front and pressed her Wizard Driver’s right Shift Lever twice. [MAGIC TOUCHIE GO!] The Lesser Blade Phantoms continued their charge as Symbol scanned her right glove over her Wizard Driver’s Hand Author. [AQUA MAGIC PLEASE!] She swung both of the Slasher Tidal Claws down, firing six crescents of water that cut each of the Lesser Blade Phantom’s in half from their heads to their groins.

Symbol looked around and saw she was being charged from all sides by more Lesser Blade Phantoms. She calmly switched the Aqua Ring for the Bind Ring and pressed her Wizard Driver’s right Shift Lever. [MAGIC TOUCHIE HENSHIN!] Then Symbol scanned her right glove over her Wizard Driver’s Hand Author as the Lesser Blade Phantoms approached. [SLASHER BIND PLEASE!] Symbol held her right glove out to the side and the bind magic circle appeared, moving over her and transforming Symbol into the Active Slasher Bind Style.

Just before the Lesser Blade Phantoms were able to reach her, Symbol hit her Wizard Driver’s right Shift Lever twice. [MAGIC TOUCHIE GO!] She scanned her right glove over her Wizard Driver’s Hand Author as she punched Slasher Restraint Claws into the ground. [BIND MAGIC PLEASE!] From which burst several orange spiked chains that wrapped around the Lesser Blade Phantoms and then anchored themselves into the ground, tieing them up.

While the Lesser Blade Phantoms were immobilized, Symbol pressed her Wizard Driver’s right Shift Lever once. [MAGIC TOUCHIE GO!] Then she scanned her right glove over her Wizard Driver’s Hand Author. [SLASHER MAGIC PLEASE!] Green magical energy surged down the Slasher Restraint Claws as Symbol spun around, unleashing three circles of green magical energy that expanded outwards and cut through the Lesser Blade Phantoms with ease, making them explode.

“Hey!” shouted Dante. “Watch it, Sunset! You nearly hit me!” 

“Sorry!” Sunset shouted back. She switched the Bind Ring for the Defend Ring and pressed her Wizard Driver’s right Shift Lever. [MAGIC TOUCHIE HENSHIN!] Then Symbol scanned her right glove across her Wizard Driver’s Hand Author. [SLASHER DEFEND PLEASE!] Symbol held her right glove out to the side and the defend magic circle appeared, moving through her and transforming Symbol into the Active Slasher Defend Style before the twenty Lesser Blade Phantoms that were charging at her could get anywhere near enough to attack Symbol.

As the twenty Lesser Blade Phantoms reached her, Symbol pressed her Wizard Driver’s right Shift Lever twice. [MAGIC TOUCHIE GO!] Then she scanned her right glove across her Wizard Driver’s Hand Author as the Lesser Blade Phantoms pulled back to attack. [DEFEND MAGIC PLEASE!] Symbol joined the two Slasher Defend Claws together and created a grey barrier of energy that stopped the Lesser Blade Phantoms from getting close.

While the Lesser Blade Phantoms were being held back by the barrier, Symbol pressed her Wizard Driver’s right Shift Lever once. [MAGIC TOUCHIE GO!] Then she scanned her right glove over her Wizard Driver’s Hand Author as grey magical energy charged up inside the Slasher Defend Claws. [SLASHER MAGIC PLEASE!] Symbol slammed both of her Slasher Defend Claws into the ground and a pair of magical energy waves surged out of them, along the ground and into the twenty Lesser Blade Phantoms throwing them off the island they were on.

“SUNSET!” shouted Dante as he had only just been able to jump over that attack in time.

“Sorry!” shouted Sunset. Whatever else Dante might have said was lost on her as she switched the Slasher Ring for the Boost Ring and pressed her Wizard Driver’s right Shift Lever. [MAGIC TOUCHIE HENSHIN!] Then she scanned her right glove across her Wizard Driver’s Hand Author. [BOOST DEFEND PLEASE!] Symbol held her right glove out to the side and the boost magic circle appeared, moving through her and transforming her into the Active Boost Defend Style. She jumped over a trio of Lesser Blade Phantoms, using the Boost Grieves to clear the distance with ease. Symbol landed back on the ground as she pressed her Wizard Driver’s right Shift Lever. [MAGIC TOUCHIE GO!] Symbol scanned her right glove over her Wizard Driver’s Hand Author as she spun around. [BOOST MAGIC PLEASE!] Purple magical energy ran into her right Boost Grieve as Symbol kicked the three Lesser Blade Phantoms with a roundhouse kick.

As they exploded, Symbol switched the Defend Ring with the Aqua Ring and pressed her Wizard Driver’s right Shift Lever. [MAGIC TOUCHIE HENSHIN!] Then she scanned the Boost Ring and the Aqua Ring over her Wizard Driver’s Hand Author. [BOOST AQUA PLEASE!] Symbol held her right glove out to the side and the aqua magic circle appeared, it moved over her, transforming her into the Active Boost Aqua Style. Symbol took up a runner stance as she pressed her Wizard Driver’s right Shift Lever. [MAGIC TOUCHIE GO!] She scanned her right glove over her Wizard Driver’s Hand Author as she exploded towards the single Lesser Blade Phantom that was charging at her. [BOOST MAGIC PLEASE!] The Aqua Jets fired a blast of water that sent Symbol flying forwards. She rammed her right knee into the Lesser Blade Phantom’s head, making its neck snap and the Phantom explode as she passed it.

Symbol landed on the ground and dropped onto her backplate. Three blades passed through where her neck had just been. ‘They’re trying to box me in!’ Symbol realised. “Big mistake,” she pressed her Wizard Driver’s right Shift Lever twice. [MAGIC TOUCHIE GO!] She scanned her right glove over her Wizard Driver’s Hand Author as she started to spin on her backplate. [AQUA MAGIC PLEASE!] The Aqua Jets each released four streams of water that smashed into the Lesser Blade Phantoms, sending them flying over the edge of the island. A blast of flame shot upwards and slammed into the three Lesser Blade Phantoms, making them explode.

Then a single Lesser Blade Phantom ran at Symbol. “That’s just insulting,” she muttered as she drew the Active Blade. Symbol parried the Lesser Blade Phantom’s sword as she pulled on its thumb, opening its Hand Author. [COME ON A SLASH SHAKE HANDS!] Then Symbol scanned the Active Ring across the Active Blade’s Hand Author. [ACTIVE! SLASH STRIKE!] Red lightning surged through the Active Blade. “Red Slash!” Symbol pulled it back and slashed a glowing red line through the Lesser Blade Phantom that caused it to explode.

Dante switched his Nephilim Ring for the Osiris Ring and punched it into his Driver’s left slot. [SET!] He turned his wrist back, then forwards, making his Driver’s gate close and open again. [OPEN!] The Osiris magic circle appeared from Dante’s Driver and moved back through him. [O-S-I-R-I-S!] Transforming Dante into the Osiris Style. He drew the Osiris Scythe and punched the Osiris Ring into its slot. [ONE!] The dice appeared and rolled onto a single dot. [SCYTHE STRIKE!] Dante spun around several times, cutting into five Lesser Blade Phantoms with the Osiris Scythe making all of them fall over and explode from the damage.

Dante jumped into the air and punched the Osiris Ring into Osiris Scythe’s slot. [THREE!] The dice appeared and spun around several times, stopping on a trio of dots. [SCYTHE STRIKE!] Dante extended the Osiris Scythe down and used it as a hook. He tore it through five Lesser Blade Phantoms with ease, making all of them fall over and go up in loud explosions.

He landed back on the ground and punched the Osiris Ring into the Osiris Scythe’s slot once more. [FIVE!] The light blue dice appeared out of thin air and spun around, rolling onto five wind blue dots. [SCYTHE STRIKE!] Dante spun around at high speeds, delivering a barrage of slashes before ending on a single strong slash that caused the Lesser Blade Phantoms he had been attacking to explode.

Dante noticed three of Lesser Blade Phantoms running at him and punched the Osiris Ring into the Osiris Scythe’s slot again. [SIX!] The dice rolled onto a six as Dante charged forwards. [SCYTHE STRIKE!] He rammed the Osiris Scythe into the three Lesser Blade Phantoms and cut through all three of them. Making a glowing light blue dot appear through their waists before they exploded.

Dante pulled out Ebony and Ivory, opening fire on four more Lesser Blade Phantoms. After a few a seconds he stopped firing as he held down on the triggers. Three rings of energy were pulled into each of the Hand Cannons. Two were light blue, Ebony’s third ring was black while Ivory’s third ring was white. [EBONY AND IVORY STRIKE!] Dante jumped into the air as he started spinning. “Inverted Rainstorm!” he destroyed several Lesser Blade Phantoms with high powered bullets before flipping over. “Rainstorm!” shouted Dante as he continued to fire, destroying the rest of the Lesser Blade Phantom. He flipped back over it time to land on the ground.

Another Lesser Blade Phantom ran at Dante as he punched the Osiris Ring into the Osiris Scythe’s slot. [THREE!] The dice rolled onto a three. [SCYTHE STRIKE!] Dante spun the Osiris Scythe like a vertical propeller, cutting into the Phantom. It had no time to do anything as it was cut clean in half.

Suddenly, Dante noticed that he had been surrounded by five Lesser Blade Phantoms. “That was a bad move!” he commented as he punched the Osiris Ring into the Osiris Scythe’s slot. [FOUR!] The dice rolled onto a four as Dante crouched down. [SCYTHE STRIKE!] The light blue wind was pulled from the air and wrapped around Dante as he jumped into the air while spinning. This action created a tornado of the light blue wind around him that pulled the five Lesser Blade Phantoms into the air. Where they were shredded by both the light blue wind and the Osiris Scythe.

While he was still in the air, Dante switched the Osiris Ring for the Aquila Ring and punched it into his Driver’s left slot. [SET!] Dante turned his wrist back, then forwards, making his Driver’s gate close and open again. [OPEN!] The Aquila magic circle appeared from Dante’s Driver and moved back through him. [A-Q-U-I-L-A!] Transforming Dante into the Aquila Style as he punched the Aquila Ring into the Aquila Star’s slot. [TWO!] The wind blue dice appeared and spun around several times, stopping on a pair of light blue dots. [SHURIKEN STRIKE!] Dante launched the Aquila Stars at six Lesser Blade Phantoms. They cloned into six pairs that circled the Lesser Blade Phantoms, each pair transformed into a ring of light blue light. The rings snapped closed, binding the Lesser Blade Phantom’s arms to their sides before moving back towards Dante. Pulling the helpless Lesser Blade Phantoms up into the air.

The second Dante landed back on the ground he had to dodge an attack while the six Lesser Blade Phantoms were hit by it and destroyed. “Hey!” shouted Dante. “Watch it, Sunset! You nearly hit me!” 

“Sorry!” Sunset shouted back.

Whatever Sunset might have said was lost to Dante as he had to jump back from a slash by another Lesser Blade Phantom and found himself surrounded by a group of six Lesser Blade Phantoms. “When will they learn?” questioned Dante as he punched the Aquila Ring into the Aquila Star’s slot. [THREE!] The dice appeared and rolled onto a three as Dante spun around, throwing out of the Aquila Stars as he did so. [SHURIKEN STRIKE!] The Aquila Stars cloned and transformed themselves into three rings of light blue energy that surrounded Dante and cut through the Lesser Blade Phantoms that had also surrounded him, making them explode.

Then he had to dodge another attack.

“SUNSET!” shouted Dante as he had only just been able to jump over that attack in time.

“Sorry!” shouted Sunset.

“Time to take a risk!” Dante punched the Aquila Ring into the Aquila Stars slot again. [FIVE!] The dice appeared and spun around several times, stopping on a five. [SHURIKEN STRIKE!] Dante kicked off the air behind him and was sent flying through a Lesser Blade Phantom, making it explode as he landed in the centre of a group that was comprised of Lesser Blade Phantoms.

Then Dante punched the Aquila Ring into the Aquila Stars slot again. [SIX!] The dice appeared and rolled, it came up with a six. [SHURIKEN STRIKE!] Dante twisted his body as the light blue wind gathered around him. He jumped a metre and started spinning, creating a tornado of the light blue wind around himself that tore through twenty Lesser Blade Phantoms with ease.

Dante finished the move and was slashed across the chestplate by a Lesser Blade Phantom that had survived. “Argh!” sparks flew from his chestplate as he staggered back and switched the Osiris Ring for his Nephilim Ring, then he punched it into his Driver’s left slot. [SET!] Dante turned his wrist back, then forwards, making his Driver’s gate close and open again. [OPEN!] He Nephilim magic circle appeared from his Driver and moved back through him. [N-E-P-H-I-L-I-M!] Transforming Dante into his Nephilim Style. He drew the Rebellion Blade and used it to block a slash as he punched his Nephilim Ring into the Rebellion Blade’s slot. [THREE!] The mouth opened to show three blood red and light blue dots. [NEPHILIM SABER STRIKE!] Dante slashed the Lesser Blade Phantom three times, all of which it was powerless to stop before sparks and micro explosions came from its body, then the Lesser Blade Phantom exploded.

Dante saw one last Lesser Blade Phantom running to attack him as he punched his Nephilim Ring into the Rebellion Blade’s slot. [ONE!] The mouth opened, showing only a single light blue and blood red circle. [NEPHILIM SABER STRIKE!] Dante slashed upwards with the Rebellion Blade, sending the Lesser Blade Phantom shooting into the air as he jumped after it and then slashed downwards. He used the Rebellion Blade’s momentum to pull both himself and the Lesser Blade Phantom down to the ground, splitting it in half on impact with the crystal platform.

With the battle over, Dante jumped to three platforms and switched his Nephilim Ring for his Aquila Ring, then punched it into his Driver’s left slot. [SET!] He turned his wrist backwards, then forwards, making his Driver’s gate close and open again. [OPEN!] The Aquila magic circle appeared in front of Dante and moved back through him. [A-Q-U-I-L-A!] Transforming Dante into the Aquila Style as he pressed the Aquila Star’s slot and slammed them together. [HOOK MODE!] They transformed and combined into the Angel Lift, which Dante used to pull himself to the side of a rock. Then he punched the Aquila Ring into his Driver’s left slot and turned his wrist forwards. [KICK STRIKE GO!] Dante kicked off the rock and was sent flying forwards by the light blue wind. Letting him reach a platform before he Angel Lifted to another rock and kicked off it Angel Boosting through the air. Onto another platform that he Angel Lifted from.

Then Dante had to run along and a narrow path. He turned the Angel Lift’s handle. [SHURIKEN MODE!] Making it separate and transform back into the Aquila Stars. Dante punched the Aquila Ring into the Aquila Star’s slot. [FOUR!] Dante dice appeared and spun onto a four as Dante threw the Aquila Stars. [SHURIKEN STRIKE!] They spun up to an archway and sliced through the blue vines that had been blocking it. The Aquila Stars appeared back in Dante’s gloves as he pressed their button and slammed them together once more. [HOOK MODE!] The Aquila Stars combined and transformed back into the Angel Lift that Dante used to get up to the archway. 

He leapt over to another platform and switched the Aquila Ring for the Eryx Ring before punching it into his Driver’s left slot. [SET!] Dante turned his wrist back, then forwards, making his Driver’s gate close and open again. [OPEN!] The Eryx magic circle appeared in front of Dante and moved back through him. [E-R-Y-X!] Transforming Dante into the Eryx Style as he pressed a button on the inside of the right Eryx Gauntlet. [GRAPPLE MODE!] Dante punched the Eryx Gauntlets together as they combined and transformed into the Demon Pull that he used to pull down a wall that was blocking his way onto another platform.

Symbol landed next to him in her Swift Wing Blade Style.

A Wizard Phantom and a Tyrant Phantom burst from the ground.

“The Wizard Phantom is mine! You take out the big one!” shouted Symbol as she dashed towards the Phantom.

“Got it!” yelled Dante. “Bring it on fatty!” he ran towards the Tyrant Phantom.

Dante turned the handle of the Demon Pull. [FIST MODE!] Making it separate and transform back into the Eryx Gauntlets. The Tyrant Phantom set itself on fire as Dante punched the Eryx Ring into the back of the right Eryx Gauntlet. [THREE!] The flame red holographic dice appeared and spun around three times, stopping when it showed three red dots. [FIST STRIKE!] The Tyrant Phantom took up a runners stance as Dante pressed down on the trigger inside the left Eryx Gauntlet. [FIST STRIKE!] Red magical energy mixed with the Eryx Gauntlet’s red flames as Dante punched upwards. He jumped into the air as the energy formed into a construct of a second Eryx Gauntlet that slammed into the Tyrant Phantom’s chin. “Uppercut!” there was enough force behind it to pull the Tyrant Phantom into the air with sparks coming from its chin.

While he was still in the air, Dante punched the Eryx Ring into the right Eryx Gauntlet’s slot. [FIVE!] The dice appeared and spun around until it stopped on five. [FIST STRIKE!] Before doing anything else, Dante punched the Eryx Ring into his Driver’s left slot and turned his wrist forwards. [GO! KICK STRIKE!] The red flames and magical energy that had been building up around Dante’s Eryx Gauntlets were pulled into his right boot as Dante went shooting down. “Stomp!” his boot slammed into the Tyrant Phantom and slammed it into the ground.

After several seconds the Tyrant Phantom started to get back up and Dante punched the Eryx Ring into the right Eryx Gauntlets slot again. [FOUR!] The dice appeared and stopped on a four as Dante pulled back his right Eryx Gauntlet. [FIST STRIKE!] Red magical energy covered Dante’sright Eryx Gauntlet as he slammed it into the ground with enough force for the ground to shake.

“DANTE!” shouted Symbol from off to the side.

“Sorry about that!” Dante yelled back. It did not take a genius to figure out why his sister sounded so pissed, she had likely been caught as unaware as to the Phantoms and been knocked on her ass. Considering that she was fighting a flying Phantom, which an earthquake would have zero effect on. Yeah, that just made things worse.

Ignoring that for now, Dante ran up to the Tyrant Phantom as it got back up and punched the Eryx Ring into his right Eryx Gauntlet’s slot. [SIX!] The dice then rolled onto a six as Dante charged his right Eryx Gauntlet with a massive amount of red magical energy. [FIST STRIKE!] Dante slammed his fist forwards, punching the Tyrant Phantom in the back and sending it staggering forwards.

Suddenly, the Tyrant Phantom set its left fist on fire. Knowing what was about to happen, Dante punched the Eryx Ring into the right Eryx Gauntlets slot again. [TWO!] The dice flipped back to a two as the Tyrant Phantom pulled back its left fist. [FIST STRIKE!] Red magical energy surged around the left Eryx Gauntlet as Dante slammed it onto the ground, creating his three-pronged barrier again. The Tyrant Phantom slammed its fist into the barrier, only for sparks to come from the limb.

As the Tyrant Phantom recoiled in pain, Dante drew the Revenant Shotgun and pulled open its barrels. He punched the Eryx Ring into the back of the first barrel. [ERYX!] Then he punched the Eryx Ring into the right barrel. [ERYX!] Dante snapped the Revenant Shotgun closed as red magical energy started to build up around the Revenant Shotgun’s first barrel. [HALF CHARGE!] Then red magical energy started to gather around the Revenant Shotgun’s right barrel. [FULLY CHARGE!] shouted the Revenant Shotgun as red magical energy started to leak out of both barrels. Dante pointed at the Tyrant Phantom and pulled the trigger. With a booming sound, two shotgun slugs shout out of the Revenant Shotgun. They flew through the air, transforming into a pair of energy streams that slammed into the Tyrant Phantom, sending it flying backwards through the air, smoking badly.

Dante ran towards the Tyrant Phantom while it was down and punched the Eryx Ring into the right Eryx Gauntlet’s slot. [ONE!] The dice appeared and spun around until it rolled up onto a one. [FIST STRIKE!] Dante covered both of the Eryx Gauntlets in red flame as he pressed down on the left Eryx Gauntlets trigger. [FIST STRIKE!] Red magical energy passed over the Eryx Gauntlets, mixing with the flames and forming into a pair of Eryx Gauntlet constructs. “Brawler!” Dante punched the Tyrant Phantom in the back with a left hook, then a right jab, followed by a right straight. Each time the constructs followed the movements of the original Eryx Gauntlet. Sparks flew from the Tyrant Phantom’s back before it fell over and was consumed by an explosion.

At that moment a second Tyrant Phantom burst from the ground. 

“Oh come on!” shouted Dante. He switched the Eryx Ring for the Arbiter Ring and punched it into his Driver’s left slot. [SET!] Dante turned his wrist back, then forwards, making his Driver’s gate close and open again. [OPEN!] The Arbiter magic circle appeared from Dante’s Driver and he dashed through it. [A-R-B-I-T-E-R!] Emerging from the magic circle in his Arbiter Style. Dante punched the Arbiter Ring into the Arbiter Axe’s slot. [ONE!] The earth red dice appeared and spun around before stopping on a single flame red dot. [AXE STRIKE!] Red magical energy gathered around the Arbiter Axe’s blade as Dante swung it down, firing a spinning axe blade construct. The Tyrant Phantom had set itself on fire and charged at Dante, it knocked the construct to the side, making it slam into the ground where it shattered like glass.

“Here we go!” Dante punched the Arbiter Ring into the Arbiter Axe’s slot. [FOUR!] The Arbiter Axe glowed with red magical energy as the dice appeared, spun and stopped on a four. [AXE STRIKE!] The Tyrant Phantom stopped in front of Dante and swung its arm down towards him. Dante swung the Arbiter Axe up as it released three pulses of red magical energy that forced the Phantom’s fist back.

While the Tyrant Phantom was being forced back, Dante jumped into the air and punched the Arbiter Ring into the Arbiter Axe’s slot. [ONE!] He swung the Arbiter Axe down as the dice appeared and rolled to a one. [AXE STRIKE!] The Arbiter Axe firing a spinning energy construct of an axe head that spiralled down through the air and slammed into the Tyrant Phantom’s head, making sparks grind out of it.

While still in the air, Dante punched the Arbiter Ring into the Arbiter Axe’s slot for a second time. [FIVE!] The dice appeared, spinning, it stopped on a five. [AXE STRIKE!] Dante came shooting down and slammed the Arbiter Axe down on the Tyrant Phantom’s head, making it stumble back in pain from the force and energy that was behind the blow.

As the Tyrant Phantom was stunned, Dante punched the Arbiter Ring into the Arbiter Axe’s slot. [THREE!] The dice spun, stopping when it showed three red dots. [AXE STRIKE!] Dante slammed the Arbiter Axe into the Tyrant Phantom with an upwards swing. He jumped up and did an across swing to its torso. He ended the combo with a downwards slice to the Tyrant Phantom’s head. Sparks exploded from the three slashed points as micro explosions went off around the Tyrant Phantom.

“Almost there!” Dante punched the Arbiter Ring into the Arbiter Axe’s slot once again. [FOUR!] He ran forwards as the dice appeared and spun stopping on a one. [AXE STRIKE!] Then Dante punched the Arbiter Ring into his Driver’s left slot and turned his wrist forwards. [GO! KICK STRIKE!] The red magical energy that had been gathering around the Arbiter Axe was pulled into Dante’s right boot as he jumped into the air. “Trinity Smash!” he came down with a flying kick that unleashed nine pulses of energy into the Tyrant Phantom when it made contact. The Phantom was sent flying backwards with sparks coming from its body before it exploded.

At that moment Dante was forced to dodge a fist from Symbol, now in her Advance Style. “How did that happen?!” he shouted.

While Dante had been fighting the two Tyrant Phantom’s Symbol had run after the Wizard Phantom. Symbol hit her Wizard Driver’s right Shift Lever twice. [MAGIC TOUCHIE GO!] Then she scanned her right glove over her Wizard Driver’s Hand Author. [BLADE MAGIC PLEASE!] The Wizard Phantom fired a spinning red energy spear at Symbol who slashed with the Cutter Wings. From each of which came a silver buzzsaw with red outlines. Two of them slammed into the spear from either side, making it shatter like glass. The other four started to spin around the Wizard Phantom, circling it as they cut into its shield. After a couple of seconds, several cracks sparked through the shield before, with the sound of shattering glass, the shield broke into pieces that rained down on the ground as blue fragments. Leaving the Wizard Phantom defenceless.

“Finale!” shouted Symbol as she pressed her Wizard Driver’s left Shift Lever. [MAGICAL TOUCH GO! VERY NICE!] Symbol scanned her left glove over her Wizard Driver’s Hand Author as the Wizard Phantom started to recover. [SWIFT! S RANK SPELL! THE BEST!] Symbol flapped the Cutter Wings and fired six silver crescents from them. They soared through the air and three of them were able to make contact, cutting silver lines into the Wizard Phantom that bleed sparks before it teleported out of the way of the other three crescents and regenerated its shield.

With a snarl, Symbol pressed her Wizard Driver’s right Shift Lever once more. [MAGIC TOUCHIE GO!] The Wizard Phantom fired a line of spiked rocks at her which Symbol flew over as she scanned her right glove over her Wizard Driver’s Hand Author. [WING MAGIC PLEASE!] She flapped the Cutter Wings and fired a storm of feathers from them that impacted the Wizard Phantom’s shield. At first, it looked like it would hold but the continuous damage was quickly adding up. The Wizard Phantom detonated its shield, making the feathers start to explode, detonating more of the feathers. Symbol was forced to stop her barrage before the line of explosions was able to reach her.

Symbol dove down and drew the Swift Blaster, she pulled on its thumb, opening its Hand Author. [COME ON A BLAST SHAKE HANDS!] Then she scanned the Swift Ring over the Swift Blaster’s Hand Author. [SWIFT! BLASTER STRIKE!] Yellow magical energy leaked out of the Swift Blaster’s barrel and formed into five orbs floating just behind the Swift Blaster’s barrel. Symbol pulled the trigger and the orbs discharged a barrage of yellow magical energy bullets that roared through the air and slammed into the Wizard Phantom. “Swift Barrage!” shouted Symbol as cracks spread through the Wizard Phantom and it exploded.

At that moment another Wizard Phantom burst from the ground and generated its shield from thin air.

“Two of you!?” shouted Symbol. A spinning spear aimed at her faceplate was her answer. Symbol switched the Wing Ring for the Arrow Ring and pressed her Wizard Driver’s right Shift Lever. [MAGIC TOUCHIE HENSHIN!] Symbol rolled to the side, avoiding a line of razor-sharp rocks as she scanned her right glove over her Wizard Driver’s Hand Author. [ARROW BLADE PLEASE!] Symbol held her right glove out to the side and the arrow magic circle appeared to her right, moving over her. Transforming Symbol into the Swift Arrow Blade Style. Symbol took aim with the Buzz Bow and hit her Wizard Driver’s right Shift Lever. [MAGIC TOUCHIE GO!] She scanned her right glove across her Wizard Driver’s Hand Author as she pulled back on the Buzz Bow’s arrow. [BLADE MAGIC PLEASE!] Then she let go off the arrow, firing six buzzsaws with the wind around them in a line. The wind formed into an arrow shape and smashed through a line of rocks, slamming into the Wizard Phantom’s shield and forcing the Phantom to detonate the shield, avoiding any damage but being stunned.

“Finale!” Symbol pressed her Wizard Driver’s left Shift Lever four times. [MAGICAL TOUCH GO! VERY NICE!] Then she scanned her left glove across her Wizard Driver’s Hand Author. [SWIFT! S RANK SPELL! THE BEST!] Symbol swung the Buzz Bow to the side and fired off six blasts of wind. “Arrow Cutter!” they shifted into the form of buzzsaws before coming into a single giant arrow that closed the distance in a heartbeat. This Wizard Phantom had no chance to teleport away and sparks exploded from its body as the arrow blasted through it and caused it to explode.

At that moment Symbol heard a familiar sound as she turned around. “You cannot be serious!” she turned around as a Dreamrunner Phantom appeared. “I hate these things!” shouted Symbol. “I’m not messing around!” she switched the Swift Ring for the Advance Ring and pressed her Wizard Driver’s left Shift Lever. [TOUCH TO ADVANCE YOUR CLASS!] Then Symbol scanned her left glove across her Wizard Driver’s Hand Author as the Dreamrunner Phantom charged. [ADVANCE PLEASE!] She held her left glove out in front of her as the Dreamrunner Phantom closed the distance and slammed into the advance magic circle that appeared in front of her. With a cannon sound, the Dreamrunner Phantom was sent flying back into a wall of rock which it was embedded into. The advance magic circle moved back through Symbol, transforming her into the Advance Style.

Symbol pressed her Wizard Driver’s left Shift Lever twice. [TOUCH TO CAST THE NEXT LEVEL!] The Dreamrunner Phantom pulled itself out of the wall and charged at Symbol as she scanned her left glove over her Wizard Driver’s Hand Author. [ADVANCE B TIER SPELL!] Symbol vanished in a blur of speed and closed the distance in a second. She slammed her elbow into the Dreamrunner Phantom’s face making sparks come from it as the Phantom was sent flying back.

Symbol vanished in a blur of speed and appeared behind the Dreamrunner Phantom as she pressed her Wizard Driver’s left Shift Lever once. [TOUCH TO CAST THE NEXT LEVEL!] The Dreamrunner Phantom got closer as Symbol scanned her left glove over her Wizard Driver’s Hand Author. [ADVANCE C TIER SPELL!] Yellow particles were emitted from the rectangle on her left forearm guard. They gathered around her fist as she pulled it back and slammed it into the Phantom’s back. A beam of yellow magical energy shot out of the Wizard Phantom’s stomach, making sparks came from the entrance and exit points.

Symbol winced in pain as she pressed her Wizard Driver’s left Shift Lever three more times. [TOUCH TO CAST THE NEXT LEVEL!] The Dreamrunner Phantom struggled back to its feet as Symbol scanned her left glove across her Wizard Driver’s Hand Author once more. [ADVANCE A TIER SPELL!] She pulled back both of her gloves as they were wrapped in yellow magical energy. Symbol slammed them down on the Dreamrunner Phantom’s back, sparks exploded from it as the ground cracked and cratered from the force of the blow.

She jumped into the air as she pressed down on her Wizard Driver’s left Shift Lever four times. [TOUCH TO CAST THE NEXT LEVEL! VERY NICE!] Then Symbol scanned her left glove across her Wizard Driver’s Hand Author as she grunted in pain. [ADVANCE S TIER SPELL! THE BEST!] Yellow and grey magical energy was wrapped around her boots as Symbol went shooting down. “Advance Strike End!” shouted Symbol as her boots made contact and the Dreamrunner Phantom exploded.

Symbol was about to pull the Advance Ring off her glove when she clutched her helmet in pain and everything went black. 

That brings up to now.

“Sunset, we don’t have time for this!” shouted Dante as he switched the Arbiter Ring for the Trigger Ring in its Devil Mode and punched it into his Driver’s left slot. [TRIGGER!] Dante turned his wrist back, then forwards, making his Driver’s gate close and open again. [DEVIL GO!] The devil trigger magic circle appeared from Dante’s Driver and moved back through him. [DE-DE-DE-DEVIL!] Transforming Dante into his Devil Trigger Style. He blocked another fist from Symbol with his right glove and noted that she still had some control as she had not cast anything yet.

Dante drew the Rebellion Magnum in its Arbiter Mode as he punched the Devil Trigger Ring into the back of it. [ONE! DEVIL!] The red holographic one with bright red outlines appeared next to the Rebellion Magnum’s skull. [MAGNUM STRIKE!] Dante twisted Symbol’s arm around and fired three shots from point-blank range into her gut, making Symbol stagger back with red lightning crackling over her body.

Then Dante punched the Devil Trigger Ring into the back of the Rebellion Magnum for a second time as Symbol took a swing at his helmet. [TWO! DEVIL!] Dante took aim as he knocked the fist to the side and the one transformed into a two. [MAGNUM STRIKE!] Dante fired an orb of magical energy that slammed into Symbol’s faceplate and unleashed three pulses that sent her flying backwards with red lightning crackling across her.

[MAGICAL TOUCH HENSHIN!] [ACTIVE PLEASE!] [LET’S GO!] In a flash of red light, Symbol transformed back into the Active Style. “Thanks, but ow!” Symbol winced as Dante helped her back to her boots. “Did you have to hit me in the faceplate?!” she demanded. 

“You remember?” asked Dante.

“It’s just a blur, but I do remember some of it,” replied Symbol.

“You did have a bit more control that time, maybe your starting to evolve again,” stated Dante.

“Yeah,” replied Symbol as she shook off the pain.

Dante ran towards the edge of the platform as he switched the Devil Trigger Ring for the Osiris Ring and punched it into his Driver’s left slot. [SET!] Dante turned his wrist back, then forwards, making the Driver’s door close and open again. [OPEN!] The Osiris magic circle appeared from Dante’s Driver and moved back through him. [O-S-I-R-I-S!] Transforming him into the Osiris Scythe as he drew the Osiris Scythe and turned its handle. [HOOK MODE!] The polearm transformed into the Angel Lift that he used to lift himself up to a rock. Then across to a second rock, before lifting up to a third rock and then onto another island.

“We must be getting near the top now,” muttered Dante.

“Are those people in the flames?” asked Symbol as another blast of flame roared up from the pit.

“It's just an illusion,” reasoned Dante as they crossed the next gap. “I hope,” he muttered at the end of his sentence.

Then they crossed the final gap.
> S1E19 Phantom's Den
> --------------------------------------------------------------------------

Dante and Symbol landed in a green corridor. Vergil was waiting for them in the real world.

At the end of the hallway was an open vault door, with four circles on it. The upper left circle showed a crescent moon while the upper right circle displayed a star logo. The lower left circle showed a sun symbol and the final circle displayed three wavy lines. 

At each corner of the room was a cylinder that showed one of the four logos and on the ground was a large glass circle. Within the circle was four red generators and around each of them was one of the logos. Under the generators was a mass of gears and cogs. 

Vergil was hiding behind a pillar as Dante and Symbol ran up to him.

“Hey!” greeted Dante.

“You made it,” replied Vergil.

Symbol phased into the real world for a second and punched her brother on the arm.

“Ow!” shouted Vergil.

“No need to sound so surprised,” grumbled Symbol.

Vergil shook off the pain. “We make quite the team.”

“I’m stronger,” replied Dante.

“I’m smarter,” shot back Vergil.

“I’m better looking,” replied Dante.

“Who told you that and how much did they love you?” Symbol teased.

Vergil glanced back around the pillar. “Wiseman is behind the vault door.”

“Let’s not keep him waiting then,” Symbol started forwards.

Vergil and Dante followed their sister.

“And I’ve got a bigger dick,” Vergil got the last word in.

Symbol glanced at him with a look that said: “Did you really just say that?”

Before they got even halfway across the room, the vault door slammed closed and the symbol’s on the floor rapidly rearranged themselves while the pillars lowered into the ground.

As the logos on the vault door vanished, Symbol could not help but comment. “Well, that happened.”

“What is happened?” asked Dante.

Vergil ran up to the vault door. “They must know we’re coming.”

“Clearly,” replied Symbol.

“Just as Kate predicated,” stated Dante. “So, what do we have to do here again?” he questioned.

Vergil facepalmed.

“Actually, I can’t remember that part of the plan either,” added Symbol.

Vergil face-vaulted. 

Once he had got back up he explained. “Kickstart the backup generators in the Slip Dimension to overload the system so I can hijack the quantum encryption algorithms.”

“That's it,” remembered Dante.

“But could so say that first part again?” Symbol asked her brother. 

“So, you have to kickstart the generators,” explained Vergil.

“Four of them right?” asked Symbol.

“Yeah, one in each tunnel,” explained Vergil.

“Do you want to come with us?” asked Symbol.

“Huh?” demanded Vergil and Dante.

“Well, the work would go much faster if there was three of us rather than just two,” explained Symbol.

“But, if I get stuck in the Slip Dimension, then I can’t hack the system,” replied Vergil.

“Have you forgotten about my new power?” asked Symbol.

“What new- Oh!” Vergil remembered what Symbol was talking about. “You can phase me out of the Slip Dimension once I get pulled in!” 

“Exactly,” replied Symbol.

“Let’s do it!” Vergil held his Driver On Ring over his belt’s buckle. [DRIVER ON!] The magic circle appeared over Vergil’s belt buckle. [NOW!] Transforming it into his Driver Driver. 

Vergil pressed down on his Wizard Driver’s left Shift Lever. [MAGICAL TOUCH HENSHIN!] “I thought I got rid of that,” muttered Vergil as he heard the standby jingle and scanned his Nephilim Ring over her Wizard Driver’s Hand Author. [NEPHILIM!] Vergil held his right glove out in front of him and his Nephilim magic circle appeared, moving back through him. [NOW!] In a flash of light Vergil was in his Kamen Rider form and felt himself get pulled into the Slip Dimension.

“How come your Driver sounds more like Sunset’s now?” asked Dante as he ran up to his brother.

“I found the standby jingle annoying and was able to mute it years ago,” replied Vergil with a shrug.

The sibling ran down the left tunnel next to the vault door and took a left turn before arriving in a cave. They ran around a ledge on the side of the room before coming to a gap.

Vergil switched his Nephilim Ring for the Angel Ring and pressed his Wizard Driver’s left Shift Lever. [MAGICAL TOUCH HENSHIN!] Vergil scanned his left glove over his Wizard Driver’s Hand Author. [ANGEL!] He held his left glove up into the air and the angel magic circle appeared before dropping down through him. [NOW!] Transforming Vergil into the Angel Style and letting him clear the gap with ease.

Knowing that Dante and Symbol would be right behind him, Vergil ran across the narrow platform and jumped to the other side of the cave. 

Dante landed beside Vergil in his Osiris Scythe.

Symbol thudded onto the ground shortly after in her Swift Wing Sniper Style. 

The three of them looked at each other and nodded as they ran around the ledge at the cave’s wall to its exit. 

In the centre of the next cave was an island surrounded by a circle shaped pit. In the centre of the island was a green floating ring with a smaller green ring in the centre of it. 

Dante switched the Osiris Ring for the Arbiter Ring and punched it into his Driver’s left slot. [SET!] Dante turned his wrist back, then forwards, making his Driver’s gate close and open. [OPEN!] The Arbiter magic circle appeared from Dante’s Driver and moved back through him. [A-R-B-I-T-E-R!] Transforming Dante into the Arbiter Style. He held out his glove as the Arbiter Axe materialized and turned the polearm’s handle. [GRAPPLE MODE!] It transformed into the Demon Pull. “Is that one of the generators that we need to kickstart?” he asked Vergil.

“Yes,” replied Vergil.

“Good,” Dante hooked the Demon Pull into the bottom of the generator and pulled.

The rings started to spin and an orb of glowing green rock appeared in the centre of the rings as blue lightning started to crackle around it.


Vault room


The pillar that displayed a crescent moon logo rose out of the ground.


Back with the Siblings


A beam of green light was shot from the rock, it bounced around the chamber, back along the tunnel and into the pillar.

“Well, that was easy,” Dante gulped when he realised what he had just said.

Symbol glared at him, livid.

Vergil looked confused at their reactions.

That confusion turned to understanding when a number of Icarus, Valkyrie and Lesser Blade Phantoms burst out of the ground.

“He has a habit of invoking Murphy, doesn’t he?” asked Vergil.

“Yep,” nodded Symbol.

“Shut up,” grumbled Dante.

Let the battle begin.

Dante punched the Arbiter Ring into the Arbiter Axe’s slot. [TWO!] He pulled back the Arbiter Axe as the earth red dice with flame red outlines appeared. It spun and stopped on a two. [AXE STRIKE!] Dante slammed the Arbiter Axe down on the ground and sent a line of red magical energy through it that threw a pair of Lesser Blade Phantoms up into the air, helpless.

Then Dante slammed the Arbiter Ring into the Arbiter Axe’s slot once more. [ONE!] The dice flipped onto a one as red magical energy gathered around the Arbiter Axe’s blade. [AXE STRIKE!] Dante swung the Arbiter Axe up and the energy transforming into a spinning axe head construct that flew through the air and cut through the two Lesser Blade Phantoms as well as an Icarus Phantom.

Suddenly, Dante was slashed across the backplate by another three Lesser Blade Phantoms, he turned around and punched the Arbiter Ring into the Arbiter Axe’s slot for the third time. [THREE!] The dice spun around, stopping when it showed three flame red dots. [AXE STRIKE!] Dante swung the Arbiter Axe around in an upwards slash, then an across slash, finishing the combo with a downwards slash. Behind him, all three of the Lesser Blade Phantoms fell over and exploded.

Dante tensed as he jumped into the air, over a Valkyrie Phantom as he punched the Arbiter Ring into the Arbiter Axe’s slot again. [FIVE!] This time the dice stopped spinning on a five. [AXE STRIKE!] Dante swung the Arbiter Axe down, using its weight to pull himself towards the ground. The Arbiter Axe split the Valkyrie Phantom and the Lesser Blade Phantom that was under it in half.

Dante noticed another Lesser Blade Phantom running at him as he punched the Arbiter Ring into the Arbiter Axe’s slot once more. [FOUR!] The dice changed sides so that it now showed four flame red dots. [AXE STRIKE!] Dante slammed the Arbiter Axe into the Lesser Blade Phantom and it unleashed three pulses of red magical energy that tore the Phantom to pieces.

Then Dante drew Ebony and Ivory. He opened fire on the flying Phantoms, bombarding them with bullets before he held down on their triggers. A pair of red magical energy rings were pulled into each of the hand cannons as Dante leapt into the air. A white magic energy ring was pulled into Ivory and a black energy ring was pulled into Ebony. [EBONY AND IVORY STRIKE!] Dante started spinning while opening fire. “Inverted Rainstorm!” pelting the flying Phantoms with bullets. Then Dante flipped over in the air while still firing. “Rainstorm!” he flipped over and landed back on the ground.

Dante drew the Arbiter Axe and punched the Arbiter Ring into its slot again. [SIX!] The dice appeared and spun around, stopping on a six. [AXE STRIKE!] Dante slammed the Arbiter Axe into the ground and out of the impact point, came a roaring wave of red magical energy that crushed five Lesser Blade Phantoms under it.

Dante saw that he had been surrounded by a group of five Lesser Blade Phantoms. He switched the Arbiter Ring for the Osiris Ring and punched it into his Driver’s left slot. [SET!] Dante turned his wrist back, then forwards, making his Driver’s gate close and open again. [OPEN!] The Osiris magic circle appeared from Dante’s Driver and move back through him. [O-S-I-R-I-S!] Transforming Dante into the Osiris Style.

As the Lesser Blade Phantoms closed in, Dante punched the Osiris Ring into the Osiris Scythe’s slot. [ONE!] The light blue dice appeared and spun around before stopping on a single wind blue dot. [SCYTHE STRIKE!] Dante spun around firing a circle of wind from the Osiris Scythe that shot outwards and cut a glowing light blue line through the Lesser Blade Phantoms, making them explode.

Then Dante jumped into the air and punched the Osiris Ring into the Osiris Scythe’s slot. [THREE!] The dice rolled onto a three as Dante extended the Osiris Scythe downwards. [SCYTHE STRIKE!] He used it as a hook to tear all three of the Lesser Blade Phantoms that were still under him in half. Sparks came from the six halves before they went up in explosions.

Dante landed back on the ground and ran at a group of five Lesser Blade Phantoms as he punched the Osiris Ring into the Osiris Scythe’s slot. [SIX!] The dice rolled several times, landing on a six. [SCYTHE STRIKE!] Dante spun around, wrapping himself in the light blue wind as he charged forwards and rammed the Osiris Scythe into the air where they all exploded.

‘Did I just hear the sound of bowling pins?’ thought Dante for a second before shaking the confusion off.

He looked up and saw five more Valkyrie Phantoms hovering in the air above him. Dante punched the Osiris Scythe into the Osiris Scythe’s slot. [FOUR!] The dice rolled onto a four as Dante crouched down. [SCYTHE STRIKE!] The light blue wind was pulled in from the air and wrapped around Dante. Then he jumped into the air while spinning around several times. A tornado of the light blue wind was formed around Dante, pulling the Valkyrie Phantoms in where they were slashed to pieces by the spinning Osiris Scythe. The pieces then exploded.

He landed back on the ground and saw three Lesser Blade Phantoms charging at him. “Really?” muttered Dante as he punched the Osiris Ring into the Osiris Scythe’s slot once more. [TWO!] The dice flipped sides, landing on a pair of wind blue dots. [SCYTHE STRIKE!] Dante spun the Osiris Scythe like a vertical propeller, pulling the Lesser Blade Phantoms in with the light blue wind where they were shredded and exploded by the Osiris Scythe.

Then Dante saw that he had been surrounded by Lesser Blade Phantoms.

Again.

Dante drew the Revenant Shotgun and pulled it open. He punched the Osiris Ring into the left barrel. [OSIRIS!] Then Dante punched the Osiris Ring into the Revenant Shotgun’s right barrel. [OSIRIS!] He slammed it closed as light blue magical energy started to gather around the left barrel. [HALF CHARGE!] Following that, light blue magical energy gathered around the right barrel. [FULLY CHARGE!] Dante started spinning the Revenant Shotgun around his body like nunchucks while firing it. “Fireworks!” shouted Dante as the five Lesser Blade Phantoms which had surrounded him exploded once they were all hit by the shotgun slugs.

Then Dante switched the Osiris Ring for his Nephilim Ring and punched it into his Driver’s left slot. [SET!] Dante turned his wrist back, then forwards, making his Drivers gate close and open again. [OPEN!] The Nephilim magic circle appeared from his Driver and moved back through Dante. [N-E-P-H-I-L-I-M!] Transforming him into his Nephilim Style.

Dante punched his Nephilim Ring into the Rebellion Blade’s slot. [TWO!] The mouth opened to reveal a pair of blood red and light blue circles. [NEPHILIM SABER STRIKE!] Dante spun around several times, slashing the five Lesser Blade Phantoms that had made the big mistake of surrounding him once more. Red and blue lines were cut through the Lesser Blade Phantoms before they exploded.

Dante looked and saw three more Lesser Blade Phantoms running at him. In a straight line. With each behind the last. “How dumb are these Phantoms?!” shouted Dante as he punched his Nephilim Ring into the Rebellion Blade’s slot. [FIVE!] The mouth snapped open to show five blood red and light blue circles. [NEPHILIM SABER STRIKE!] Dante lunged forwards, stabbing all three of the Lesser Blade Phantoms with the Rebellion Blade and causing them to explode.

Dante turned around and saw three more Lesser Blade Phantoms approaching him. “Overkill time,” commented Dante as he punched his Nephilim Ring into the Rebellion Blade’s slot. [SIX!] The mouth slammed closed, then it opened to reveal six light blue and blood red circles. [NEPHILIM SABER STRIKE!] Dante dashed forwards and unleashed several thousand stabs in the space of the next five seconds. A storm of sparks came from the Lesser Blade Phantoms before they exploded.

Symbol switched the Swift Ring for the Active Ring, then she pressed her Wizard Driver’s left Shift Lever. [MAGICAL TOUCH HENSHIN!] She scanned her left glove over her Wizard Driver’s Hand Author. [ACTIVE PLEASE!] Symbol held her left glove out to the side, the active magic circle appeared and moved through her. [LET’S GO!] Transforming Symbol into the Active Style.

Then Symbol pressed her Wizard Driver’s left Shift Lever three times. [MAGICAL TOUCH GO!] Three Lesser Blade Phantoms approached her as Symbol scanned her left glove over her Wizard Driver’s Hand Author. [ACTIVE! A RANK SPELL!] Red lightning surrounded her body as Symbol crossed her arms. She threw them outwards and the lightning branched out, slamming into the five Lesser Blade Phantoms and ripping through them, causing them to explode.

After that, Symbol added the Ice and Aqua Rings to her right glove before pressing her Wizard Driver’s right Shift Lever. [MAGIC TOUCHIE HENSHIN!] Then she scanned her right glove over her Wizard Driver’s Hand Author as she avoided a bomb from a Valkyrie Phantom. [ICE AQUA PLEASE!] Symbol held her right glove out to the side, making the two magic circles appear. “Nuts!” she jumped through the circles, avoiding another bomb from the same Valkyrie Phantom.

Symbol jumped out of the next bomb's blast area as she pressed her Wizard Driver’s right Shift Lever once. [MAGIC TOUCHIE GO!] Then she scanned her right glove over her Wizard Driver’s Hand Author as frost started to gather around the Frozen Bracer. [ICE MAGIC PLEASE!] Symbol threw her glove forwards and a barrage of ice spikes leapt out of it, impaling the Valkyrie Phantom and causing it to go up in a massive explosion.

Then Symbol saw several Valkyrie Phantoms appear in the air. Before they had a chance to do anything she struck her Wizard Driver’s left Shift Lever four times. [MAGICAL TOUCH GO! VERY NICE!] Then Symbol scanned her left glove over her Wizard Driver’s Hand Author as the Valkyrie Phantoms got ready to throw their bombs. [ACTIVE! S RANK SPELL! THE BEST!] Symbol let a ball of ice appear in her glove and threw it into the air. “Ice Grenade!” the ball exploded, sending spikes of ice everywhere. All six of the Valkyrie Phantoms were impaled in various places, most of which were vital points before all of them exploded.

Seeing more Icarus Phantoms appear in the air, Symbol switched the Ice Ring for the Boost Ring and slammed her glove down on her Wizard Driver’s left Shift Lever. [MAGIC TOUCHIE HENSHIN!] Symbol scanned her right glove over her Wizard Driver’s Hand Author as the Icarus Phantoms loaded their crossbows. [BOOST AQUA PLEASE!] Symbol held her right glove out to the side and the boost magic circle appeared. She jumped through it as several crossbow bolts thudded into the ground where she had just been standing.

“Time to get to their level!” Symbol pressed her Wizard Driver’s right Shift Lever once. [MAGIC TOUCHIE GO!] Symbol crouched down as she scanned her right glove over her Wizard Driver’s Hand Author. [BOOST MAGIC PLEASE!] The Aqua Jets each fired for blasts of water that boosted Symbol into the air. She quickly rammed her knee into one of the Icarus Phantoms, sending it floating back into another Icarus Phantom, both of which exploded.

Seeing that they had surrounded her, Symbol slammed her glove down on her Wizard Driver’s right Shift Lever twice. [MAGIC TOUCHIE GO!] She scanned her right glove across her Wizard Driver’s Hand Author as the Icarus Phantoms had her in their sights. [AQUA MAGIC PLEASE!] Symbol spun around like a top in the air, the Aqua Jets each blast four high powered streams of water that slammed into the Icarus phantoms with enough force to tear each of them in half. Symbol stopped spinning and then landed back on the ground as the Phantom’s exploded.

Suddenly, Symbol noticed three more Lesser Blade Phantoms running at her as she pressed her Wizard Driver’s left Shift Lever four times. [MAGICAL TOUCH GO! VERY NICE!] Symbol scanned her left glove over her Wizard Driver’s Hand Author as the Aqua Jets started to leak water. [ACTIVE! S RANK SPELL! THE BEST!] The water was pulled from the ground and gathered into an orb in front of Symbol’s faceplate as she looked up at it. “Hyrdo Storm!” Symbol kicked the water orb and sent it shooting towards in the form of a horizontal water tornado. It ripped through the ground and slammed into the Lesser Blade Phantoms, sending them flying through the air as they each exploded.

Symbol glanced around and noticed three more Lesser Blade Phantoms running in her direction.

Across a miniature lake of water.

Towards someone with lightning powers.

Symbol would have rolled her eyes if she was in her human form. Instead, she pressed her Wizard Driver’s left Shift Lever twice. [MAGICAL TOUCH GO!] Red lightning covered her arm as Symbol scanned her left glove over her Wizard Driver’s Hand Author. [ACTIVE! C RANK SPELL!] She pulled back her palm and slammed it into the ground, making arches of red lightning explode across the lake and fry the Lesser Blade Phantoms, making they each go up in an explosion.

Suddenly, Symbol noticed five Peryton Phantoms appear in the air and targeted her. She switched the Aqua Ring for the Defend Ring and punched down on her Wizard Driver’s right Shift Lever. [MAGIC TOUCHIE HENSHIN!] Then Symbol scanned her right glove over her Wizard Driver’s Hand Author. [BOOST DEFEND PLEASE!] She held her right glove out to the side and the defend magic circle appear. “Oh no,” Symbol dove through the defend magic circle as several lightning bolts blackened the ground where she had just been standing.

“That was a close one,” commented Symbol as she finished transforming and hit her Wizard Driver’s right Shift Lever twice. [MAGIC TOUCHIE GO!] Then she scanned her right glove over her Wizard Driver’s Hand Author. [DEFEND MAGIC PLEASE!] Symbol raised the Defend Shield to block five lightning bolts that were shooting towards her before realising something. “Wait a minute!” the lightning bolts slammed into the Defend Shield and it conducted the lightning through Symbol’s body. She spasmed for several seconds before being sent flying back, slamming into a part of the cave’s wall.

“Why did I think that it was a good idea to block lightning bolts with a metal shield?!” shouted Symbol. She looked up and saw another five lightning bolts racing towards her. “Nuts!” she pressed her Wizard Driver’s right Shift Lever once. [MAGIC TOUCHIE GO!] Then she scanned her right glove over her Wizard Driver’s Hand Author. [BOOST MAGIC PLEASE!] Symbol crouched down as a magic circle appeared under the Boost Grieves before she jumped into the air. The magic circle catapulted her into the air as went shooting down and slammed both of her boots into the first Peryton Phantom.

Symbol jumped off the Peryton Phantom and backflipped through the air, landing on the second Peryton.

She jumped off that one and landed on the cave ceiling before jumping off it and slamming both of her boots into the third Peryton Phantom.

Symbol jumped off that Peryton Phantom and then jumped off the cave wall before kicking both of the last two Peryton Phantoms with a pair of split kicks.

All five of the Peryton Phantoms then sparked several times before all of them exploded.

While she was still in the air, Symbol pressed her Wizard Driver’s left Shift Lever four times. [MAGICAL TOUCH GO! VERY NICE!] Then she scanned her left glove over her Wizard Driver’s Hand Author. [ACTIVE! S RANK SPELL! THE BEST!] Red lightning sparked around both the Bost Grieves and the Defend Shield. Symbol threw the Defend Shield down and it expanded, trapping a group of five Lesser Blade Phantoms. Then Symbol went shooting down. “Air Step!” she slammed both of her boots into the Defend Shield, causing it to explode and destroy the five Lesser Blade Phantoms.

She backflipped and landed back on the ground while flipping Symbol had switched the Boost Ring for the Slasher Ring. She landed back on the ground and pressed her Wizard Driver’s right Shift Lever. [MAGIC TOUCHIE HENSHIN!] Then Symbol scanned her right glove over her Wizard Driver’s Hand Author. [SLASHER DEFEND PLEASE!] Symbol held her right glove out to the side and the slasher magic circle appeared before passing through her, transforming Symbol into the Active Slasher Defend Style.

A group of five Lesser Blade Phantoms charged at Symbol as she pressed her Wizard Driver’s right Shift Lever twice. [MAGIC TOUCHIE GO!] Symbol scanned her right glove over her Wizard Driver’s Hand Author as the Phantoms got nearer. [DEFEND MAGIC PLEASE!] She slammed both of the Slasher Defend Claws together and created a shield of grey energy. The Phantoms slammed into it, send Symbol sliding back but failing to do any damage.

Vergil had been fighting just as hard as his siblings. Still, in his Angel Style, he pressed the first button on the Space Katana. [ONE!] Both of his swords were charged with silver magical energy as Vergil dashed towards a pair of Lesser Blade Phantoms. [KATANA STRIKE! NOW!] He spun around, slashing both of the Lesser Blade Phantoms and cutting a silver wound into them that made them explode.

Vergil saw that he had been surrounded by five Lesser Blade Phantoms and pressed the second button on the Space Katana. [THREE!] Silver magical energy covered both of Vergil’s katana’s as he spun around. [KATANA STRIKE! NOW!] Vergil launched himself into the air, with the silver wind pulling the Lesser Blade Phantoms up into the air along with him.

While the Lesser Blade Phantoms were in the air with him, Vergil pressed the fourth button on the Space Sheath. [FOUR!] Silver magical energy hummed along both of Vergil’s katana. [KATANA STRIKE! NOW!] He spun around, cutting all five of the Lesser Blade Phantoms in half. They dropped back to the ground and as Vergil landed they all exploded in fireballs.

Suddenly, Vergil jumped back into the air as a Valkyrie Phantom threw a bomb that impacted the ground where he had just been standing and exploded. Vergil pressed the fifth button on the Space Katana while he was in the air. [FIVE!] Silver magical energy covered both of Vergil’s katana as he slashed. [KATANA STRIKE! NOW!] The two katana’s left a solid silver trail of magical energy that ejected a glowing silver sword. It rocketed through the air and cut the Valkyrie Phantom in half.

Vergil landed back on the ground and noticed a pair of Lesser Blade Phantoms running at him. He pressed the second button on the Space Katana. [TWO!] Silver magical energy covered both of Vergil’s swords as he held them in a reverse grip and parallel to the ground. [KATANA STRIKE! NOW!] Vergil spun around with his blades leaving a pair of afterimages that cut a pair of glowing silver lines through the two Lesser Blade Phantoms. Both of them sparked and then exploded.

Suddenly, Vergil used the flat side of the Space Katana to block a slash from a Lesser Blade Phantom. The Space Katana released a pulse of silver energy that sent the Lesser Blade Phantom flying back. Vergil pressed the sixth button on the Space Sheath. [SIX!] He channelled silver magical energy into both of his swords as he slashed through the air. [KATANA STRIKE! NOW!] For a second, nothing happened before the Lesser Blade Phantom was covered in a sphere of silver magical energy. Then it was rendered into countless pieces by an equally uncountable number of blade slashes.

Seeing a pair of Peryton Phantoms take shape above him, Vergil pressed the third button on the Space Katana. [THREE!] Silver magical energy covered both of Vergi’s swords as he spun around. [KATANA STRIKE! NOW!] Using the gathered momentum, Vergil launched himself into the air and impaled both of the Phantoms, one on each of his swords. As he fell back down to the ground, Vergil let the Phantoms slid off his swords and go up in explosions.

While he was still in the air, Vergil pressed his Wizard Driver’s left Shift Lever twice and scanned his left glove over his Wizard Driver’s Hand Author. [YES! KICK STRIKE!] He fired six silver sword constructs that flew through the air. [UNDERSTAND!?] Each pair of summoned swords impaled a Lesser Blade Phantom and made each of them go up in an explosion.

Vergil jumped into the air, getting level with five Peryton Phantoms as he pressed the fourth button on the Space Katana. [FOUR!] Both swords were covered in silver magical energy as Vergil started to spin. [KATANA STRIKE! NOW!] He cut through all five Peryton Phantoms with the twin katanas. A silver line was carved into their waist that emitted silver lightning before each of them exploded.

Vergil landed back on the ground before he pressed the third button on the Space Katana. [THREE!] He spun around with the Space Katana and the Yamato Katana emitting silver wind. [KATANA STRIKE! NOW!] Vergil jumped into the air, while the silver wind pulled three Lesser Blade Phantoms into the air, slamming them each into a Valkyrie Phantom, making all six of the Phantoms explode.

Vergil landed back on the ground and pressed the second button on the Space Katana. [TWO!] Both the Space Katana and the Yamato Katana were covered in silver magical energy. [KATANA STRIKE! NOW!] Vergil spun around, with the tips of the two swords leaving after images of a circle that surrounded Vergil. Then the circle surged outwards and cut through six more Lesser Blade Phantoms, all of which had leapt at Vergil as they surrounded him.

Vergil leapt into the air, right into a crowd of four Valkyrie phantoms. He pressed the Space Katana’s fourth button. [FOUR!] Silver magical energy flashed along the length of both the Space Katana and the Yamato Katana. [KATANA STRIKE! NOW!] Vergil spun in the air, cutting a silver line into all four of the Phantoms. Silver lighting sparked over their bodies before they exploded.

Vergil growled as four more Pereyton Phantoms appeared in the air. He jumped up and pressed the Space Katana’s fifths button. [FIVE!] Silver magical energy covered both the Space Katana and the Yamato Katana as Vergil slashed in an X shape. [KATANA STRIKE! NOW!] The tip of each katana left behind a trail of silver magical energy that formed an X shape which then vomited a silver magical energy sword construct that shot through the air and slammed into the Peryton Phantoms, destroying three of them but one had been able to fly out of the way.

Suddenly, Vergil saw a group of Lesser Blade Phantoms running at him from the ground. He pressed the sixth button on the Space Katana. [SIX!] Both the Space Katana and the Yamato Katana flashed with silver magical energy as Vergil vanished and appeared behind the Lesser Blade Phantoms. [KATANA STRIKE! NOW!] They were all covered in a sphere of silver magical energy and as Vergil hooked his sword on his belt they were torn to pieces by a number of sword slashes that could not be counted.

Vergil ran forwards towards two more Lesser Blade Phantoms as he pressed the Space Katana’s first button. [ONE!] Light silver magical energy ran over the blade of the Space Katana and the Yamato Katana. [KATANA STRIKE! NOW!] Vergil spun around, cutting a silver line through the two Lesser Blade Phantoms. Silver lightning sparked over their bodies before they exploded.

Vergil backflipped over a slash from another Lesser Blade Phantom and pressed his Wizard Driver’s left Shift Lever down three times before scanning his left glove over her Wizard Driver’s Hand Author. [YES! KICK STRIKE!] Suddenly, Vergil was surrounded by six silver swords that pointed outwards. [UNDERSTAND!?] The Lesser Blade Phantoms that had surrounded Vergil were all cut into pieces.

Several saw five more Lesser Blade Phantoms running at him and pressed the Space Katana’s sixth button. [SIX!] Vergil let both the Space Katana and the Yamato Katana get covered in silver magical energy. [KATANA STRIKE! NOW!] He slashed at the air and then placed both of the Katana’s back into his belt. The five Lesser Blade Phantoms continued their charge until they were enveloped by a sphere of silver magical energy. The Lesser Blade Phantoms tried to get out before they were sliced to ribbons by an infinite number of sword slashes.

“You shall die!” Vergil spat out at the two Lesser Blade Phantoms that had survived as he pressed the second button on the Space Katana. [TWO!] Vergil spun around, cutting a silver line in the waist of the two Lesser Blade Phantoms. [KATANA STRIKE! NOW!] Silver lightning sparked over them both as they exploded.

“Well, that was a thing,” stated Symbol as they ran back up to the main vault room through a new pathway that had opened when the last of the Phantoms had been destroyed and the generator had been turned on.

“That’s one generator up and running!” reported Dante.

“Good,” replied Vergil. “Then that is one server that I will be able to reboot later on.”

“Didn’t Kate say that we’ll have to do something else?” asked Symbol.

“Yes,” replied Vergil. “We will have to line up the power conducts with the corresponding server,” he explained.

The siblings ran down the lower right tunnel.

They had to jump down and across to several platforms made of rocks before they arrived in the next generator room.

“I’ll take this one,” stated Symbol. She switched the Slasher and Defend Rings for the Boost and Bind Rings as she pressed her Wizard Driver’s right Shift Lever. [MAGIC TOUCHIE HENSHIN!] Then Symbol scanned her right glove over her Wizard Driver’s Hand Author. [BOOST BIND PLEASE!] Symbol held her right glove out to the side, the two magic circles appeared and passed through her.

Then Symbol pressed her Wizard Driver’s right Shift Lever twice. [MAGIC TOUCHIE GO!] She scanned her right glove over her Wizard Driver’s Hand Author for the second time. [BIND MAGIC PLEASE!] Symbol spun around the threw out a spin kick. A construct in the shape of an orange chain shot out of her right boot and into the bottom of the generator. Symbol pulled back and the generator started to rapidly turn.

The orb of green bluish rock appeared in the centre of the generator as blue lightning started to spark across it.


Vault room


The pillar that depicted a sun appeared from the ground in front of the cave entrance.


Cave


The rock shot a beam that bounced off the cave walls and into the pillar.

Suddenly, a Blood Rage Phantom, a Ghost Rage Phantom and a normal Rage Phantom burst from the ground.

Without a word, Symbol ran at the Blood Rage as she switched the Active Ring for the Giga Ring and pressed her Wizard Driver’s left Shift Lever in the process. [MAGICAL TOUCH HENSHIN!] She scanned her left glove over her Wizard Driver’s Hand Author. [GIGA PLEASE!] Symbol held the Giga Ring down to the ground and the Giga magic circle appeared before rising up through her. [BREAK THROUGH!] The Blood Rage leapt at Symbol, only to be sent flying back by the Giga magic circle and smashed into a wall, painfully as Symbol finished transforming into the Giga Style.

“Bring it on!” muttered Symbol as the Blood Rage Phantom got back up. It lit its claws on fire and lunged at Symbol as she pressed her Wizard Driver’s left Shift Lever three times. [MAGICAL TOUCH SPELL!] Then she scanned her left glove over her Wizard Driver’s Hand Author. [GIGA A RANK SPELL!] Green magical energy surged across Symbol’s forearm guards as she used them to block the Blood Rage’s flaming claws and then grabbed them. She winced from the heat of the claws and booted the Blood Rage in the gut, making sparks come from the impact point as the Blood Rage skidded backwards.

“That was hot!” muttered Symbol as she shook her gloves from the pain. She looked up. “WOAH!” the Blood Rage lunged at her shooting past her and making sparks explode from her chest plate in the process. Symbol added the Bombardment and Quake Rings to her right glove and pressed her Wizard Driver’s right Shift Lever down once. [MAGIC TOUCHIE HENSHIN!] The Blood Rage turned around as Symbol scanned her right glove over her Wizard Driver’s Hand Author. [BOMBARDMENT QUAKE PLEASE!] With a livid roar the Blood Rage lunged at Symbol, only to be sent flying backwards by the bombardment and quake magic circles. 

Symbol took aim at the Blood Rage Phantom with the Impact Cannon as it slid along the ground, painfully. She pressed her Wizard Driver’s right Shift Lever twice as the Blood Rage skidded to a halt. [MAGIC TOUCHIC GO!] Then Symbol aligned her right glove with her Wizard Driver’s Hand Author as the Blood Rage Phantom got back up to its claws. [QUAKE MAGIC PLEASE!] The Blood Rage Phantom roared as it curled itself into a ball and rolled at Symbol, just as the Impact Cannon discharged an orange energy shell that shot through the air and slammed into the Phantom. The shell was able to push back the Blood Rage Phantom before it started to spin faster and began to force the shell backwards. “Not bad,” muttered Symbol as the Pistons on the Impact Cannon fired. “But not good enough!” the shell exploded and sent the Blood Rage Phantom flying back with sparks coming from its body

Suddenly, the Blood Rage Phantom came running out of the explosion as Symbol switched the Bombardment Ring for the Hammer Ring and pressed her Wizard Driver’s right Shift Lever. [MAGIC TOUCHIE HENSHIN!] The Blood Rage Phantom leapt at Symbol as she scanned her right glove over her Wizard Driver’s Hand Author. [HAMMER QUAKE PLEASE!] Just as the Blood Rage Phantom leapt, Symbol held her right glove down to the ground. The quake magic circle appeared and rose up through her, sending the Blood Rage Phantom flying backwards as Symbol transformed into the Giga Hammer Quake Style.

The Blood Rage Phantom went flying back as Symbol ran towards it and pressed her Wizard Driver’s right Shift Lever once. [MAGIC TOUCHIC GO!] The Ripper Hammer appeared in Symbol’s glove as she scanned her right glove over her Wizard Driver’s Hand Author. [HAMMER MAGIC PLEASE!] She swung the Ripper Hammer across in a horizontal slash as it chainsaws roared to life. The Blood Rage Phantom jumped over the slash but Symbol used the momentum to pull herself around and knock the Phantom out of the air. Cutting sparked from its chest with the chainsaw as she did so. Micro-explosions went off around the Blood Rage Phantom as it was smashed into the ground.

“It’s almost finished off,” muttered Symbol.

Then the Blood Rage Phantom got back up and started to glow with red magical energy. 

“Why did I have to open my big mouth?” muttered Symbol as she was blown back by an explosion of red magical energy that blasted out from the Blood Rage Phantom.

Symbol rolled back and landed on her boots as the Blood Rage Phantom stalked forwards its body releasing wispy vapours of red magical energy up into the air like a haze of heat. 

With a roar, the Blood Rage Phantom released its quills into the air where they hovered and pointed at Symbol. “Nuts!” Symbol switched the Hammer and Quake Rings for the Bombardment and Terra Rings as she pressed her Wizard Driver’s right Shift Lever. [MAGIC TOUCHIE HENSHIN!] The quills were covered in red magical energy as Symbol scanned her right glove over her Wizard Driver’s Hand Author. [BOMBARDMENT TERRA PLEASE!] She held her right glove down to the ground, the two magic circles appeared under her boots and rose up through her, transforming Symbol into the Giga Bombardment Terra Style.

The quills angled towards Symbol as she struck her Wizard Driver’s left Shift Lever four times. [MAGICAL TOUCH GO! VERY NICE!] A rock was pulled from the ground as Symbol scanned her left glove over her Wizard Driver’s Hand Author. [GIGA! S RANK SPELL! THE BEST!] The quills shot downwards at Symbol as the rock was covered in green magical energy and shot towards the quills. The two storms of projectiles collided in mid-air and both of them exploded.

The Blood Rage Phantom gave a loud snarl as it charged at Symbol, who switched the Bombardment Ring for the Punch Ring and pressed her Wizard Driver’s right Shift Lever. [MAGIC TOUCHIE HENSHIN!] The Blood Rage Phantom landed a short distance away from Symbol as she scanned her right glove over her Wizard Driver’s Hand Author. [PUNCH TERRA PLEASE!] Symbol held her right glove down to the ground as the Blood Rage Phantom set both of its front claws on fire and lunged at her. Only for it to be sent flying back by the punch magic circle as it appeared under Symbol’s boots and rose up through her.

The Blood Rage Phantom got back up and curled into a ball as it rolled towards Symbol at high speeds, she pressed her Wizard Driver’s right Shift Lever twice. [MAGIC TOUCHIC GO!] Then Symbol scanned her right glove over her Wizard Driver’s Hand Author as the Blood Rage Phantom approached. [TERRA MAGIC PLEASE!] The Punch Cutters roared to life as Symbol ripped her left glove up through the ground, throwing cut and crystal into the air as she slammed her fist into the Blood Rage Phantom. Sparks flew as the quills and Punch Cutter's ground against each other. But the Blood Rage Phantom had forgotten one thing. Symbol still had a free glove. She brought her other glow up and slammed it into the Blood Rage Phantom, sparks flew as the Phantom was sent flying backwards and slammed into a wall.

While the Blood Rage Phantom was getting back up, Symbol switched the Terra Ring for the Drill Ring and pressed her Wizard Driver’s right Shift Lever. [MAGIC TOUCHIE HENSHIN!] Then she scanned her right glove over her Wizard Driver’s Hand Author as the Blood Rage Phantom got up with drool dripping from its mouth [PUNCH DRILL PLEASE!] Symbol held her right glove down to the ground then rolled to the side as the Blood Rage Phantom leapt past her. The drill magic circle appeared under her boots and then rose up through her, transforming Symbol.

The Blood Rage Phantom ran forwards and then leapt into its ball form, rolling at Symbol. “Final!” shouted the Kamen Rider as she pressed her Wizard Driver’s left Shift Lever four times. [MAGICAL TOUCH GO! VERY NICE!] Then Symbol scanned her left glove over her Wizard Driver’s Hand Author. [GIGA! S RANK SPELL! THE BEST!] Red, purple and green magical energy roared around Symbol’s right glove. The drills on the Punch Drillers started to spin as Symbol pulled back her right glove. “Wall Charge!” she slammed her left glove into the ground and out of which burst a wall of drills. They slammed into the Blood Rage Phantom and made sparks come from its body before micro explosions went off around it and the Phantom exploded.

While his sister had been fighting the Blood Rage Phantom, Vergil had moved to engage the normal Rage Phantom in combat.

He switched the Angel Ring for his Nephilim Ring and pressed down on his Wizard Driver’s left Shift Lever as the Rage Phantom stalked towards him. [MAGICAL TOUCH HENSHIN!] Then Vergil scanned his left glove over his Wizard Driver’s Hand Author as the Rage Phantom set both of its claws on fire. [NEPHILIM!] Vergil held his left glove out in front of him as with a livid roar, the Rage Phantom leapt at him. [NOW!] Vergil’s Nephilim magic circle appeared in front of him and sent the Rage Phantom shooting back as it moved through him, transforming Vergil into his Nephilim Style.

The Rage Phantom got back up and ran at Vergil, who pressed down on his Space Sheath’s first button. [ONE!] Blood red and light blue magical energy ran through the Space Shealth as Vergil gripped the handle of the Yamato Katana as the Rage Phantom lunged forwards at him. [KATANA STRIKE! NOW!] Vergil drew the Yamato Katana from the Space Sheath and slashed the Rage Phantom three times within the blink of an eye making spark come from its body. The Rage Phantom flew past and skidded along the ground with its claws creating furrows through it.

The Rage Phantom snarled, as it lunged at him Vergil pressed the Space Sheath’s third button. [THREE!] Blood red and light blue magical energy ran into the Yamato Katana within the Space Sheath. [KATANA STRIKE! NOW!] Just as the Rage Phantom leapt, aiming to clamp its jaws around his windpipe Vergil drew the Yamato Katana and in a single motion, he slashed upwards. The Rage Phantom was sent flying into the air and Vergil used the Yamato Katana momentum to pull himself up after it.

While they were still in the air, Vergil pressed the Space Sheath’s fourth button. [FOUR!] Blood red and light blue magical energy were charged into the Space Sheath and then into the Yamato Katana. [KATANA STRIKE! NOW!] Vergil drew the Yamato Katana and slashed the Rage Phantom once. Then he did a diagonal slash before ending the combo on a downwards across slash.

“Let’s get back to the ground,” muttered Vergil as the Rage Phantom recovered, curled into a ball and started to spin. He pressed the Space Sheath’s fifth button. [FIVE!] Blood red and light blue magical energy ran into the Space Sheath and then into the Yamato Katana that was inside it. [KATANA STRIKE! NOW!] Vergil drew the Yamato Katana and then he slashed down. The sword’s momentum pulled himself and the Rage Phantom back down to the ground. The Rage Phantom was smashed into the ground and cut into by the Yamato Katana, making sparks come from its back.

While the Rage Phantom was recovering, Vergil pressed the second button on the Space Sheath. [TWO!] Blood red and light blue magical energy were pulled into the Space Sheath and then charged into the Yamato Katana that was still inside it. [KATANA STRIKE! NOW!] Vergil drew the Yamato Katana and slashed the Rage Phantom twice with a pair of downwards slashes that carved an X shape into it that bleed sparks and micro explosions went off around the Rage Phantom.

“You shall die,” Vergil hissed out in a venomous monotone as pressed the Space Sheath’s sixth button. [SIX!] Blood red and light blue magical energy were both charged into the Space Sheath before being pulled into the Yamato Katana that was still inside the Space Sheath. [KATANA STRIKE! NOW!] The Rage Phantom got back up and rolled into a ball before charging at Vergil as he scanned his Nephilim Ring along the back of the Space Sheath. [YES! KATANA STRIKE!] Vergil’s glove closed around the Yamato Katana hilt as the Rage Phantom got closer. [UNDERSTAND?!] He tore the Yamato Katana out of the Space Sheath and slashed the air. Suddenly, a wall of sword slashes appeared in front of the Rage Phantom. “Perfect Slice!” it had no time to stop and was torn to pieces by the wall the second it entered it.

Vergil turned around to go and help his siblings when a pulse of magical energy came from behind him. Vergil turned around, just in time to be struck across the faceplate by a claw that was on fire! “Argh!” shouted Vergil as he was stuck in the back before he finally got a good look at the creature which had attacked him.

It was the Rage Phantom with glowing white energy leaking from its body like a haze of heat.

Hearing Symbol shout something about the Blood Rage Phantom doing that, Vergil deadpanned. “I second what my sister said, can all Phantoms do this now?” he gestured at the Rage Phantom.

Only for the Rage Phantom to roar as it curled into a ball and rolled at Vergil. He pressed the fifth button on the Space Sheath. [FIVE!] Blood red and light blue magical energy covered the Space Sheath before being pulled into the Yamato Katana inside the Space Sheath. [KATANA STRIKE! NOW!] Vergil drew the Yamato Katana and slashed down as the Rage Phantom smashed into it. Sparks flew before Vergil’s arm was forced up and the Rage Phantom rolled into his chestplate. Sparks flew from Vergil as he was sent flying back but managed to land on his boots.

Vergil went shooting back and landed on the ground. He looked up, just in time to be slashed across the faceplate by both of the Rage Phantom’s flaming claws. “Argh!” Vergil staggered back with sparks coming from his faceplate as he lashed out with a kick that the Rage Phantom jumped over and lunged at him with its right claw. Vergil used the flat side of the Yamato Katana to block before pressing his Wizard Driver’s left Shift Lever twice. [YES! KICK STRIKE!] Then he scanned his left glove over his Wizard Driver’s Hand Author as the Rage Phantom started to force its way past his defence. [UNDERSTAND!?] Several sword constructs appeared behind Vergil and stabbed into the ground as the Rage Phantom jumped back, dodging them.

Vergil switched his Nephilim Ring for the Demon Ring and pressed his Wizard Driver’s left Shift Lever. [MAGICAL TOUCH HENSHIN!] The Rage Phantom lunged at him as he scanned his left glove over his Wizard Driver’s Hand Author. [DEMON!] Vergil held his left glove down to the ground as the Rage Phantom was about to hit him with its claws, that were on fire. [NOW!] The demon magic circle appeared under Vergil’s boots and rose up through him, sending the Rage Phantom staggering back as it was thrown into the air by the magic circle. Transforming Vergil into the Demon Style.

Vergil pressed the Space Yamato Katana’s first button as the Rage Phantom landed back on the ground. [ONE!] Demonic golden magical energy covered the Space Yamato Katana as the Rage Phantom dashed towards Vergil. [KATANA STRIKE! NOW!] Vergil knocked the Rage Phantom’s claws to the sides with a pair of quick swings and the third swing smashed into the Rage Phantoms head, smashing it into the ground. Sparks flew as the ground was cratered by the force of the swing.

Not giving the Rage Phantom a chance to get up, Vergil jumped into the air and pressed the third button on the Space Yamato Katana. [THREE!] The Space Yamato Katana was covered in golden magical energy before it covered Vergil. [KATANA STRIKE! NOW!] He went rocketing down like a small meteor and slammed his boot into the back of the Rage Phantom. Vergil grunted as some sparks came from his boot as it hit the Rage Phantoms quills. But that was nothing compared to the Rage Phantom that roared in pain from the impact.

“You shall die,” Vergil hissed in a venomous monotone as he swiped the Demon Ring along the back of the Space Yamato Katana. [YES! KATANA STRIKE!] The Space Yamato Katana was covered in golden magical energy as Vergil jumped into the air. [UNDERSTAND?!] The magical energy roared around his right boot as Vergil shot back down and slammed it into the back of the Rage Phantom. “Stomp!” he whispered as the Rage Phantom exploded.

While Symbol had been fighting the Blood Rage Phantom and Vergil had been locked in battle with the normal Rage Phantom, Dante had been in combat with the Ghost Rage Phantom.

Knowing that his Rebellion Blade would be useless, Dante rolled to the side, avoiding the Ghost Rage Phantom as it lit its claws on fire and slashed at him. He switched his Nephilim Ring for the Osiris Ring and punched it into his Drivers left slot. [SET!] Dante turned his wrist back, then forwards, making his Driver’s gate close and open again. [OPEN!] The Osiris magic circle appeared from Dante’s Driver and move back through him. [O-S-I-R-I-S!] Transforming Dante into the Osiris Style.

The Ghost Rage Phantom snarled as it set its claws on fire and lunged at Dante once more. He punched the Osiris Ring into the Osiris Scythe’s slot. [TWO!] Dante spun the Osiris Scythe like a vertical propeller as the light blue dice appeared and spun around several times before rolling onto a pair of wind blue dots. [SCYTHE STRIKE!] The Ghost Rage Phantom had no time to stop and sparks flew from its body as it was cut into by the blade of the Osiris Scythe.

Dante stopped spinning the Osiris Scythe after several seconds and jumped into the air. The Ghost Rage Phantom fell back to the ground as Dante punched the Osiris Ring into the Osiris Scythe’s slot once more. [THREE!] The dice appeared and rolled onto a trio of wind blue dots. [SCYTHE STRIKE!] Dante extended the Osiris Scythe down and used it as a hook to pull the Ghost Rage Phantom up into the air as it started to recover.

While the Ghost Rage Phantom was still recovering, Dante pressed the Osiris Ring into the Osiris Scythe’s slot once more. [SIX!]The dice rolled until it stopped on a six. [SCYTHE STRIKE!] Dante was covered in the light blue wind that propelled him forwards. He spun around and rammed the outside of the Osiris Scythe’s blade into the Ghost Rage Phantom. It was sent flying backwards with sparks coming from its body and a glowing blue gash across its stomach.

Things turned bad for Dante as the Ghost Rage Phantom recovered and rolled itself into a ball. Then it spin-dashed at Dante, ramming itself into his chest. “Argh!” sparks flew from Dante’s chest plate as he went flying back. That was not all, as if drawn by a magnet, the Ghost Rage Phantom rammed itself into Dante’s chest plate for a second time. It repeated the process, getting faster and faster until an explosion went off from Dante’s chestplate and he was sent smashing into the ground.

Having played Sonic the Hedgehog, Dante recognized that move. “So first they rip off the Spin Dash and now the Homing attack?!” demanded Dante. The Ghost Rage Phantom drooled in rage as it fired its quills into the air. “No, you don’t!” Dante punched the Osiris Ring into the Osiris Scythe’s slot again. [FIVE!] The dice appeared and rolled back onto five wind blue dots. [SCYTHE STRIKE!] The quills fired at Dante, but he moved the Osiris Scythe with blinding speeds. All of the quills were knocked out of the air by either the two quick slashes or the final strong slash.

“Enough is enough!” muttered Dante as the Ghost Rage Phantom set its claws on fire and lunged at him. He punched the Osiris Ring into the Osiris Scythe’s slot again. [FOUR!] The dice rolled backwards, stopping on four wind blue dots. [SCYTHE STRIKE!] Dante crouched down as the light blue wind was pulled in from the air and wrapped around him. At the last second, Dante jumped into the air while spinning. A tornado of the light blue wind burst into being around him, the Ghost Rage Phantom dug its claws into the ground but was quickly pulled into the tornado. Sparks flew from the Ghost Rage Phantom as it was cut into by the light blue wind and the Osiris Scythe. The tornado spun it faster and faster until it was flung out and into a wall.

“Time to end this,” Dante pressed down on the Osiris Scythe’s trigger. [SCYTHE STRIKE!] Light blue magical energy surged up through the Osiris Scythe and into its blade as Dante started spinning it. The light blue wind surged into the tornado, making it grow much stronger and move much faster. “Raze!” shouted Dante as he pointed the Osiris Scythe at the, still stunned, Ghost Rage Phantom. The Tornado moved over to the Phantom and pulled it into the air in a spiral pattern before flinging it into another wall. Sparks and micro explosions went off around the Ghost Rage Phantom before it was enveloped in an explosion.

“That takes care of that,” Dante turned around to walk away when there was a very familiar explosion of white energy behind him. “You have got to be kidding me!” he roared as he turned around. Just in time to be struck across the faceplate by a claw that was covered in white flames. Dante shouted in pain as sparks exploded from his faceplate and he was sent stumbling back. He took two more slashes to the chestplate at lightning speeds before behind knocked into the air. Then Dante was slammed into the ground and something smashed down on top of him, forcing him into the ground.

Dante looked up and saw the Ghost Rage Phantom’s snarling face covered in glowing white light that came off him like wisps of flame. “I know that it's already been asked at some point. But can all of you Phantoms do that now?” the Ghost Rage Phantom did not answer as it spun around. Sparks came from Dante’s left cheek guard as the Ghost Rage Phantom hit him with its tail and sent him flying into another wall.

Dante grumbled in pain as he switched the Osiris Ring for the Aquila Ring and punched it into his Driver’s left slot. [SET!] Dante twisted his wrist back, then forwards, making his Driver’s gate close and then open again. [OPEN!] The Aquila magic circle appeared from Dante’s Driver and then moved back through him. [A-Q-U-I-L-A!] Transforming Dante into the Aquila Style.

The Ghost Rage Phantom lunged at Dante with lightning speed. He was only just able to duck under the Phantom’s fire covered claw as he punched the Aquila Ring into the Aquila Star’s slot. [ONE!] Dante jumped over another claw swipe from the Ghost Rage Phantom as the dice appeared and spun around, stopping on a single light blue dot. [SHURIKEN STRIKE!] Dante swept the Aquila Stars to the side and they cloned into three copies of themselves, cutting through the Ghost Rage Phantom and making sparks shot out of its body.

The Ghost Rage Phantom roared in pain and anger as it jumped back. Then it rolled into a ball and started to charge up its homing attack, Dante punched the Aquila Ring into the Aquila Star’s slot again. [THREE!] The wind blue dice spun around and stopped on a trio of light blue dots. [SHURIKEN STRIKE!] Dante pulled back the Aquila Stars and spun around, flinging them out as the Ghost Rage Phantom approached. The Aquila Stars cloned into three copies of themselves and transformed into six circles of light around Dante. The Ghost Rage Phantom slammed into them and was sent flying back with sparks coming from its body. Like a magnet it was pulled back towards Dante, only to be sent flying back with more sparks exploding from its hide.

“I’m ending this!” shouted Dante as he punched the Aquila Ring into the Aquila Star’s slot again. [FOUR!] Light blue wind gathered around the Aquila Stars as the wind blue dice appeared, rolling onto four wind blue dots. [SHURIKEN STRIKE!] Dante flung the Aquila Stars forwards and they circle around the Ghost Rage Phantom, transforming into a ring of light blue light. Then the ring slammed shut, trapping the Ghost Rage Phantoms arms to its sides. The inside of the ring acted as a buzzsaw, cutting sparks out of the Ghost Rage Phantom.

“Time to finish this with a kick,” Dante punched the Aquila Ring into its Driver’s left slot and turned his wrist forwards. [KICK STRIKE GO!] Light blue wind gathered around Dante’s right boot as he jumped into the air. “Round Trip!” Dante swung his right boot around and it impacted the Ghost Rage Phantom. Micro-explosions went off around the Ghost Rage Phantom before it fell over and exploded.

With that over with, Dante ran to the edge of the island and punched the Aquila Ring into his Driver’s left slot before turning his wrist forwards. [KICK STRIKE GO!] The light blue wind covered Dante as he jumped into the air and kicked out behind him, he was sent shooting forwards and landed back in the tunnel that led to the cave.

Dante then pressed the button on the Aquila Stars and slammed them together. [HOOK MODE!] They broke apart and combined into the Angel Lift. Dante hooked it onto a platform and used it to get up to said platform. Then he ran through the tunnel, folwing the beam until he arrived back in the vault room.

“That’s two online, Vergil,” Dante called over his shoulder pauldron to his brother.

“Good, that’s another one I can reboot,” replied Vergil.

“We’re halfway there,” commented Symbol.

Dante nodded as he ran into the upper right tunnel.

He jumped into the air as he punched the Aquila Ring into his Driver’s left slot and turned his wrist forwards. [KICK STRIKE GO!] The light blue wind covered Dante as he kicked the air behind him and was sent shooting over a gap. 

The three siblings arrived in front of the next generation.

“Your turn this time Vergil,” commented Symbol.

“On it,” Vergil switched the Angel Ring for the Demon Ring and pressed his Wizard Driver’s left Shift Lever. [MAGICAL TOUCH HENSHIN!] Then Vergil scanned his left glove over his Wizard Driver’s Hand Author. [DEMON!] Vergil held his left glove down to the ground and the demon magic circle appeared. [NOW!] It rose up through him, transforming Vergil into the Demon Style as he pressed his Wizard Driver’s left Shift Lever again. [YES! KICK STRIKE!] Vergil scanned his left glove over his Wizard Driver’s Hand Author as a golden energy dagger appeared over his right shoulder pauldron. [UNDERSTAND!?] It shot forwards and the generator started turning.

The rock appeared and fired a beam of light that bounced around the cave, through the walls of the tunnel and into the pillar that displayed a star, which had just appeared from the ground.

“Wait, that's it?!” demanded Dante.

“Yes?” Vergil wondered what Dante was so mad about.

“Sunset and I have to pull very hard and all you have to do is fire a dagger?!” demanded Dante.

“Different powers, different method,” explained Vergil smugly.

At that moment a Butcher Phantom and several Elite Blade Phantoms burst from the ground.

“Their getting stronger and stronger,” muttered Dante.

“Wiseman really does not want us reaching him,” commented Vergil.

“I’ll take down the Butcher Phantom, you two remove the Elite Blade Phantoms!” ordered Symbol.

“On it!” replied Vergil as he ran forwards.

Let the battle begin.

Vergil drew the Space Yamato Katana and jumped over a slash from one of the Elite Blade Phantoms. He blocked a second slash and kicked a second Elite Blade Phantom back as he pressed the fourth button on the Space Yamato Katana. [FOUR!] Golden magical energy covered the Space Yamato Katana as Vergil sidestepped an energy line. [KATANA STRIKE! NOW!] Then he slammed the tip of the Space Yamato Katana into the ground, making an explosion of golden energy come from it. Both of the Elite Blade Phantoms that had been attacking Vergil were thrown into the air.

Vergil jumped into the air after one of them as he pressed the fifth button on the Space Yamato Katana. [FIVE!] Golden magical energy covered the Space Yamato Katana as Vergil reached the same height as the Elite Blade Phantoms. [KATANA STRIKE! NOW!] He slashed downwards, sending the Elite Blade Phantom smashing into the ground with enough force to leave behind a creator. Vergil landed back on the ground, as did the second Elite Blade Phantoms. The difference being that Vergil landed on his boots while the Elite Blade Phantom landed on its face.

Suddenly, sparks flew from Vergil’s side. He gave a shout of pain as he whipped around and slammed the Space Yamato Katana into the blade of a third Elite Blade Phantom. Vergil remained calm as he pressed the Space Yamato Katana’s first button. [ONE!] Golden magical energy covered the Space Yamato Katana as Vergil kicked the Elite Blade Phantom away. [KATANA STRIKE! NOW!] The Phantom blocked the first slash from the Space Yamato Katana with the flat side of its blade. Then it locked blades with Vergil as he brought the Space Yamato Katana around again. But this time Vergil had put more force into the swing and broke the Phantom’s guard. He slashed a third time and cutting a glowing, golden, sparking scar into the Elite Blade Phantom’s chest.

“You shall die,” spat out Vergil in a venomous monotone as he slid the Demon Ring along the back of the Space Yamato Katana. [YES! KATANA STRIKE!] A storm of golden magical energy was pulled from the Demon Ring and wrapped around the Space Yamato Katana. [UNDERSTAND?!] Vergil dashed forwards and slashed the Elite Blade Phantom across the chest from the upper left to the bottom right, cutting another golden scar into the Phantom. Then he slashed the Elite Blade Phantom a second time, this time he went from the upper right to the bottom left, the two scars formed into an X. The Elite Blade Phantom had recovered by this time and blocked the third slash, a horizontal one, with its sword. Or at least it tried to. Its sword shattered and the third scar was formed. “Divorce!” whispered Vergil as the Elite Blade Phantom sparked and exploded.

Suddenly, Vergil was slashed across the backplate. He gave a shout of pain as he spun around and decked one of the Elite Blade Phantoms in the face. Then he snapped a kick up and nailed the other Elite Blade Phantom in the chin. Vergil pressed the Space Yamato Katana’s third button. [THREE!] He jumped into the air as golden magical energy covered the sword and was then pulled into his right boot. [KATANA STRIKE! NOW!] As Vergil reached the top of his jump, he swiped his left glove over the back of the Space Yamato Katana. [YES! KATANA STRIKE!] The golden magical energy around Vergil’s boot was pulled into the Space Yamato Katana, joining with the maelstrom of magic around the blade. [UNDERSTAND?!] Vergil clasped the Space Yamato Katana over his helmet in both gloves as he angled his body down and went shooting downwards. The tip of the Space Yamato Katana stabbed into the ground and let off an explosion of golden magical energy that swallowed both of the Elite Blade Phantoms. “Stomp!” whispered Vergil as the explosion died down.

Vergil got back up, only to shout in pain as one of the Elite Blade Phantoms had survived and slashed him across the back. He pressed the second button on the Space Yamato Katana. [TWO!] Golden magical energy covered the sword as Vergil backflipped away from a horizontal swing. [KATANA STRIKE! NOW!] He jumped into the air and came shooting down with a flying kick that slammed into the Elite Blade Phantom’s face. It was sent shooting back and exploded from the damage it had taken.

Suddenly, Vergil was forced to duck under another slash from the next Elite Blade Phantom that had pulled itself from the ground. With a growl, he pressed the Space Yamato Katana’s sixth button. [SIX!] Vergil channelled golden magical energy into the Space Yamato Katana as he gripped it tightly in both gloves. [KATANA STRIKE! NOW!] As the Elite Blade Phantom approached, Vergil swung the Space Yamata Katana. For a full second, nothing happened, then the Phantom was covered in a sphere of golden magical energy and sparks exploded from its body as it was slashed by an uncountable number of sword slashes that appeared from thin air.

But to Vergi’s shock the Elite Blade Phantom was still able to get back to its feet and run at him. “These Phantoms really are getting tougher and tougher!” muttered Vergil as he slid his left glove along the back of the Space Yamato Katana. [YES! KATANA STRIKE!] Golden magical energy surged around the blade of the Space Yamato Katana. [UNDERSTAND?!] Vergil gripped his blade in both gloves as he slashed down. A vertical crescent of golden magical energy shot out of the Space Yamato Katana and wrapped around the Phantom. Before the Elite Blade Phantom had a chance to try and break out, it was tore to pieces by a number of sword slashes that were uncountable.

Suddenly, sparks flew from Vergil’s backplate as he was attacked by yet another Elite Blade Phantom that burst from the ground. “How many of you are there?!” shouted Vergil as he pressed his Wizard Driver’s left Shift Lever three times. [YES! KICK STRIKE!] Then Vergil scanned his left glove over his Wizard Driver’s Hand Author as golden magical energy started to build up around him. [UNDERSTAND!?] The golden magical energy shifted into six golden sword constructs on either side of Vergil. They turned in the air and pointed at the Elite Blade Phantom. “Blistering Swords!” ordered Vergil as they shot forwards and impaled the Elite Blade Phantom. Sparks exploded from its body before the Phantom exploded.

Vergil glanced over his shoulder pauldron and saw another pair of Elite Blade Phantoms burst from the ground. “These had better be the last two!” he growled as he switched the Demon Ring for his Nephilim Ring. [MAGICAL TOUCH HENSHIN!] Vergil scanned his left glove over his Wizard Driver’s Hand Author. [NEPHILIM!] Vergil held his left glove out in front of him and his Nephilim magic circle appeared, stopping the two Elite Blade Phantoms and sending them flying back. [NOW!] Vergil’s Nephilim magic circle moved through him and transformed him into his Nephilim Style.

The Two Elite Blade Phantoms stabbed their swords into the ground and fired a pair of fire lines at Vergil as he pressed the Space Sheath’s first button. [ONE!] Blood red and light blue magical energy was channelled into the Space Sheath, then into the Yamato Katana. [KATANA STRIKE! NOW!] Vergil jumped over the fire lines and closed the distance in an instant. He slashed once but was block before appearing behind the Elite Blade Phantom’s. He slashed each of them once and made sparks explode from their backs as they stumbled forwards in pain.

“You shall die,” spat out Vergil in a venomous monotone as he scanned his left glove over the back of the Space Sheath. [YES! KATANA STRIKE!] Blood red and light blue magical energy surged into the Space Sheath before being pulled into the Yamato Katana within the Space Sheath. [UNDERSTAND?!] Vergil drew the Yamato Katana from the Space Sheath and moved. He appeared in front of the Elite Blade Phantoms and drew the Yamato Katana, slashing them across the chests with one fluid movement as he sheathed the Yamato Katana. Sparks exploded from the Elite Blade Phantoms as Vergil drew the Yamato Katana and slashed upwards, then in the same motion, he slashed the Elite Blade Phantom downwards as he sheathed the Yamato Katana. “Slasher!” whispered Vergil as the Phantoms fell over and exploded.

Dante had engaged the second squad of Elite Blade Phantoms in combat. 

He crossed the Aquila Stars over his helmet as he used them to block a downwards slash from one of the Elite Blade Phantoms. He jumped into the air, breaking the lock and spin kicking the Phantom in the face. Dante landed back on the ground and switched the Aquila Ring for his Nephilim Ring. He punched it into his Driver’s left slot. [SET!] Dante turned his wrist back, then forwards, making his Driver’s gate close and open again. [OPEN!] His Nephilim magic circle appeared from his Driver and moved back through him. [N-E-P-H-I-L-I-M!] Transforming Dante into his Nephilim Style.

Dante jumped to the side as the Elite Blade Phantom fired a line of fire along the ground at him. He punched his Nephilim Ring into the slot of the Rebellion Blade. [ONE!] The sword’s mouth opened to reveal a single blood red and light blue dot. [NEPHILIM SABER STRIKE!] Dante slashed across with the Rebellion Blade, only to be blocked by the flat side of the Elite Blade Phantom’s sword. Dante slashed across again, breaking the Phantom’s guard and drawing sparks from it with a third slash.

Not seeing any micro explosions, Dante snarled as he punched his Nephilim Ring into the Rebellion Blade’s slot. [ONE!] The mouth closed, then opened, showing a single blood red and light blue dot. [NEPHILIM SABER STRIKE!] Dante slashed upwards, the Elite Blade Phantom tried to block but was sent flying into the air from the force of the swing. Dante used the Rebellion Blade’s momentum to pull himself into the air and as he zoomed passed the Elite Blade Phantom, he slashed down, firing the Phantom back into the ground with enough force to kick up a dust cloud.

While he was still in the air, Dante punched his Nephilim Ring into his Driver’s left slot. [GO! KICK STRIKE!] Blood red and light blue magical energy surged down from his Driver and wrapped around his right boot. “Helm Breaker!” roared Dante as he went shooting down and his boot impacted into the Elite Blade Phantom’s stomach. Sparks exploded from the impact point as micro explosions went off around the Phantom and a dust cloud was kicked up. Dante jumped back, backflipped through the air and landed on the ground as the Phantom exploded.

Dante had no time to celebrate as a line of fire roared along the ground and slammed into him, setting him ablaze. Dante let lose a pulse of blood red and light blue magical energy from his body, putting out the flames as he turned towards another Elite Blade Phantom that had burst from the ground. “Your gonna pay for that!” he punched his Nephilim Ring into the Rebellion Blade’s slot. [THREE!] The sword’s mouth opened to reveal a pair of blood red and light blue circles. [NEPHILIM SABER STRIKE!] Dante dashed forwards as he swung the Rebellion Blade down. The Elite Blade Phantom blocked, but Dante darted to the side, slashing at its side with the Rebellion Blade. The Phantom blocked and Dante shot around behind it, driving the Rebellion Blade into the Phantom’s back making sparks explode on contact.

The Elite Blade Phantom roared in pain as it spun around, only for Dante to duck under the horizontal slash as he punched his Nephilim Ring into the Rebellion Blade’s slot. [FIVE!] The mouth opened, displaying five blood red and light blue dots as Dante drove the Rebellion Blade forwards. [NEPHILIM SABER STRIKE!] Sparks exploded from the Elite Blade Phantom’s chest as it was driven backwards by the force of the blow, sparks were coming from its chest as micro explosions went off around it.

“Now’s my chance!” Dante punched his Nephilim Ring into his Driver’s left slot and turned his wrist forwards. [GO! KICK STRIKE!] Blood red and light blue energy rushed out of his Driver and covered his right boot as he dashed forwards. Dante turned in the air and thrust his right leg out as the Elite Blade Phantom thrust its sword forwards. The two made contact and sent out a shockwave of energy before the Elite Blade Phantom’s sword broke into pieces as Dante’s boot made contact with its face. The Phantom was sent flying back through the air and exploded.

Suddenly, Dante ducked as another Elite Blade Phantom delivered a horizontal slash with its sword to the place where his neck had just been. Dante replied by jumped back up and kicking the Phantom in the face as he did so. He punched his Nephilim Ring into the Rebellion Blade’s slot as the Elite Blade Phantom staggered back. [SIX!] The mouth opened to display six blood red and light blue dots. [NEPHILIM SABER STRIKE!] Dante unleashed several thousand stabs in the next five seconds. A storm of sparks exploded from the Elite Blade Phantom as it skidded back from the force of the stabs.

With a growl, Dante punched his Nephilim Ring into the Rebellion Blade’s slot. [ONE!] The mouth snapped shut, then opened, to show a single light blue and blood red dot. [NEPHILIM SABER STRIKE!] While the Elite Blade Phantom was still stunned and unable to defend itself, Dante slashed upwards with the Rebellion Blade. The Phantom was sent shooting into the air as Dante used the Rebellion Blade’s momentum to pull himself into the air. He got above the Elite Blade Phantom and slashed down with the Rebellion Blade. Sparks exploded from the Phantom as it was sent shooting back down and slammed into the ground with enough force to put another crater in it.

The Elite Phantom Phantom struggled to get back up as micro explosions went off around it. Seeing this, Dante held down the Rebellion Blade’s trigger. [NEPHILIM SABER STRIKE!] Blood red and light blue magical energy surged up the Rebellion Blade as Dante pulled it back. “High Time!” he slashed upwards, tearing a line through the ground and sending the Elite Blade Phantom shooting into the air with a glowing light blue scar the leaked blood red energy. Sparks came from the wound as micro explosions went off around the Phantom until it exploded in the air.

At that moment, another Elite Blade Phantom appeared from the ground and slashed down, making sparks exploded from Dante’s chestplate as the blade made contact with it. Dante grunted in pain as he punched his Nephilim Ring into the Rebellion Blade’s slot. [TWO!] The mouth opened to show a pair of light blue and blood red dots. [NEPHILIM SABER STRIKE!] Dante spun around several times, cutting into the Elite Blade Phantom with the Rebellion Blade, making sparks come from its body as the sword made contact with it.

The Elite Blade Phantom quickly recovered and used its sword to block several more spinning slashes, slowing down Dante’s spin enough for it to slash him across the side. Dante gave a shout of pain as he jumped away and drew the Revenant Shotgun. He fired several shells that made sparks come from the Phantom as they made contact with it. Dante quickly pulled open the Revenant Shotgun’s barrel and punched his Nephilim Ring into its right slot. [NEPHILIM!] He slammed the Revenant Shotgun closed as blood red and light blue magical energy started to gather around its right barrel. [HALF CHARGE!] Dante took aim and fired a shotgun slug. It slammed into the Elite Blade Phantom and sent it flying back with sparks coming from its body and micro explosions going off around it.

Seeing this, Dante pulled out Kablooey and fired a spike into the Phantom. It roared in rage as it charged at Dante. He ducked under a horizontal swing as he fired another spike into it. Dante sidestepped a downwards swing and fired a third spike into the Elite Blade Phantom. Dante jumped back, firing a fourth spike into the Phantom as he had to run up the cave wall and summersault over a fire line.

Then Dante pulled open the Revenant Shotgun as he punched his Nephilim Ring into its left barrel. [NEPHILIM!] He snapped the Revenant Shotgun closed as blood red and light blue magical energy started to gather around both of the Revenant Shotgun’s barrels. [FULLY CHARGED!] Dante took aim and fired a pair of shotgun slugs. One was blood red and the other was light blue. The light blue slug slammed into the Elite Blade Phantom and fired it into the air. Right into the path of the blood red slug which exploded and sent the Phantom smashing into the ground where it exploded.

While Dante and Vergil had a fairly easy fight against the Elite Blade Phantoms, Symbol’s battle against the Butcher Phantom had been anything but easy.

She switched the Swift Ring for the Burst Ring and pressed her Wizard Driver’s left Shift lever as the Butcher Phantom charged. [MAGICAL TOUCH HENSHIN!] The ground started to shake as the Butcher Phantom approached and Symbol scanned her left glove over her Wizard Driver’s Hand Author. [BURST PLEASE!] She held her left glove out to the side and the burst magic circle appeared, moving through her and sending the Butcher Phantom flying back. [CAST THE SPELL!] The burst magic circle also transforming Symbol into the Burst Style.

As the Butcher Phantom got back up, Symbol pressed her Wizard Driver’s left Shift Lever once. [MAGICAL TOUCH GO!] The Butcher Phantom pulled back its arms, Symbol scanned her left glove over her Wizard Driver’s Hand Author. [BURST! C RANK SPELL!] The Butcher Phantom fired five small buzzsaws as it uncrossed its arms, meanwhile, four sparks appeared in the air and ignited into fireballs. Symbol threw her left glove forwards and the fireballs shot forwards, clashing with the buzzsaws in the air. It looked to be an even match, but Symbol could tell that the extra buzzsaw was causing her to lose ground.

“I’d better do something about that,” muttered Symbol as she added the Dust and Glass Rings to her right glove, then pressed her Wizard Driver’s right Shift Lever. [MAGIC TOUCHIE HENSHIN!] Then she scanned her right glove over her Wizard Driver’s Hand Author as the Butcher Phantom started to take notice of her. [DUST GLASS PLEASE!] Symbol held her left glove out to the side and the two magic circles appeared and moved through her.

Just as the buzzsaws were about to overpower her fireballs, Symbol pressed her Wizard Driver’s right Shift Lever once. [MAGIC TOUCHIE GO!] The fireballs had been surrounded as Symbol scanned her right glove over her Wizard Driver’s Hand Author. [DUST MAGIC PLEASE!] Her body unleashed a blinding blast of light that caused the Butcher Phantom to lose all focus on its buzzsaws. It blinked several times and as its vision came back, the four fireballs slammed into it, sending the Butcher Phantom staggering back with sparks coming from its body.

Then the Butcher Phantom swung out its right arm and sent a large vertical buzzsaw tearing through the ground towards Symbol, who pressed her Wizard Driver’s left Shift Lever three times. [MAGICAL TOUCH GO!] Then she scanned her left glove across her Wizard Driver’s Hand Author before holding the Burst Ring down to the ground. [BURST! A RANK SPELL!] Out of which burst a wall of earth, which the buzzsaws cut said through and slammed into Symbol. “Argh!” shouted Symbol in pain as she was sent flying up into the air before she crashed down into the ground with sparks coming from her body.

Symbol got back up, just in time to be slashed across her faceplate by one of the Butcher Phantom’s buzzsaws. With a shout of pain, she was sent flying through the air, she managed to flip and land on her boots as she switched the Glass Ring for the Radiation Ring before pressing her Wizard Driver’s right Shift Lever. [MAGIC TOUCHIE HENSHIN!] Then Symbol scanned her right glove over her Wizard Driver’s Hand Author. [DUST RADIATION PLEASE!] She held her right glove out to the side, the radiation magic circle appeared behind her and moved through Symbol, transforming her into the Burst Dust Radiation Style.

The Butcher Phantom fired another large vertical buzzsaw at Symbol as she pressed her Wizard Driver’s right Shift Lever once. [MAGIC TOUCHIE GO!] Then Symbol scanned her right glove over her Wizard Driver’s Hand Author as the buzzsaw approached. [DUST MAGIC PLEASE!] An orb of dust appeared in front of Symbol before firing hundreds of small green radiation orbs. They slammed into the buzzsaw and caused it to shatter before smashing into the Butcher Phantom and exploding violently, making sparks fly from its body.

Suddenly the Butcher Phantom’s face turned red as scary white flames raged around its body. “So all Phantoms can do that now?” deadpanned Symbol as the Butcher Phantom lumbered forwards. Symbol quickly her Wizard Driver’s right Shift Lever twice. [MAGIC TOUCHIE GO!] Then Symbol scanned her right glove over her Wizard Driver’s Hand Author as the Butcher Phantom pulled back one arm. [RADIATION MAGIC PLEASE!] The Phantom swung its arm up, firing a vertical buzzsaw with the frightening white flames around it as Symbol fired a loud of radiation and dust forwards. Only for the cloud to be cut through by the chainsaw and slammed into Symbol, cutting and burning sparks out of her before sending her smashing into a wall.

Symbol groaned as she got back up and switched the Dust Ring for the Steam Ring before pressing her Wizard Driver’s right Shift Lever. [MAGIC TOUCHIE HENSHIN!] Then Symbol scanned her right glove across her Wizard Driver’s Hand Author as the Butcher Phantom started to charge white flames into its buzzsaws. [STEAM RADIATION PLEASE!] Symbol held her right glove out to the side, the steam magic circle appeared behind her and moved through her, transforming her into the Burst Steam Radiation Style. But Symbol had no time to react as the Butcher Phantom uncrossed its arms, firing five buzzsaws covered in white flames. They moved so fast that Symbol saw nothing but streaks of white light as they raced around and slammed into her, smashing Symbol into another wall with sparks coming from her body.

“That hurt!” shouted Symbol as she pressed her Wizard Driver’s right Shift Lever twice. [MAGIC TOUCHIE GO!] Then she scanned her right glove over her Wizard Driver’s Hand Author before holding her right glove out. [RADIATION MAGIC PLEASE!] Symbol fired a beam of green radiation as the Butcher Phantom threw another buzzsaw covered in frightening white flames. The two smashed into each other and the beam divided like a fork as the buzzsaws started to cut through it. Just before it had a chance to reach her, Symbol threw herself to the side, the buzzsaws shot past her and slammed into the wall, cutting deeply into it.

‘Ok, think Sunset!’ thought Symbol. ‘This thing has to have a weakness!’ Symbol switched the Steam Ring for the Sand Ring and pressed her Wizard Driver’s right Shift Lever. [MAGIC TOUCHIE HENSHIN!] Then Symbol scanned her right glove across her Wizard Driver’s Hand Author as the Butcher Phantom fired another vertical buzzsaw at her. [SAND RADIATION PLEASE!] Symbol held her right glove out to the side as the sand magic circle appeared behind her and moved through her, transforming Symbol into the Burst Sand Radiation Style.

“I hope this works,” muttered Symbol as she pressed her Wizard Driver’s left Shift Lever four times. [MAGICAL TOUCH GO! VERY NICE!] The white flames around the Butcher Phantom glowed even hotter as Symbol scanned her left glove across her Wizard Driver’s Hand Author. [BURST! S RANK SPELL! THE BEST!] Symbol’s body transforming into steaming hot sand as she rushed forwards and the Butcher Phantom threw another buzzsaw at her.

Symbol held out her right glove and the Burst Staff appeared. She pulled on its thumb, opening its Hand Author. [COME ON A SPELL SHAKE HANDS] Symbol made her left glove solid again and scanned the Burst Ring over the Burst Staff’s Hand Author. [BURST! SPELL STRIKE!] A ball of purple magical energy appeared on the tip of the Burst Staff as the buzzsaw got closer. The ball thinned out and transformed into four spears of purple magical energy. “Burst Spears!” the spears slammed into the buzzsaw from the side and caused it to shatter.

The Butcher Phantom had no time to do anything as Symbol rammed into it. “Sand Rush!” sparks exploded from the Butcher Phantom as Symbol passed through it and appeared on the other side. Her body turned solid as microexplosions went off around the Butcher Phantom. Symbol walked back towards her brothers as the Butcher Phantom fell to its knees and exploded.

Battle ended.

“Done,” stated Dante.

“We just have to repeat that for the last one and we’ll be set,” explained Vergil.

“Great,” muttered Symbol.

As they ran out of the tunnel, they were ambushed by a pair of Phantom shards. 

Both of which Dante shot with the Revenant Shotgun before jumping the gap. 

The siblings ran through the vault room and into the final tunnel. They had to jump over four platforms and then turn a right corner before leaping onto the platform where the final generator was.

Dante switched his Nephilim Ring for the Arbiter Ring and punched it into his Driver’s left slot. [SET!] Dante turned his wrist back, then forwards, making his Driver’s gate close and open again. [OPEN!] The Arbiter magic circle appeared from Dante’s Driver and moved back through him. [A-R-B-I-T-E-R!] Transforming Dante into his Arbiter Style.

Dante drew the Arbiter Axe off his back and turned the handle. [GRAPPLE MODE!] It transforming into the Demon Pull and he hooked it onto the generator and pulled.

Only for nothing to happen.

There was a beat of awkward silence as Dante pulled again, only for nothing to happen once more.

“Leave it to the professionals,” Vergil shoved Dante out of the way and switched his Nephilim Ring for the Demon Ring, then pressed his Wizard Driver’s left Shift Lever. [MAGICAL TOUCH HENSHIN!] Vergil scanned his left glove over his Wizard Driver’s Hand Author. [DEMON!] He held his glove down to the ground as the demon magic circle appeared under his boots. [NOW!] It rose up through him and transformed him into the Demon Style.

Vergil pressed his Wizard Driver’s left Shift Lever once. [YES! KICK STRIKE!] Then he scanned his left glove over his Wizard Driver’s Hand Author as golden magical energy started to leak off him. [UNDERSTAND!?] The energy collected into a golden dagger that shot forwards and into the generator.

Once more there was an awkward beat as nothing happened.

“The professionals, eh?” asked Dante.

“Well, it did not work for you either,” defended Vergil.

While her brothers got into an argument, Symbol switched the Burst Ring for the Active Ring and pressed her Wizard Driver’s left Shift Lever. [MAGICAL TOUCH HENSHIN!] Symbol scanned her left glove across her Wizard Driver’s Hand Author. [ACTIVE PLEASE!] She held her left glove out to the side and the active magic circle appeared. [LET’S GO!] It moved through her, transforming Symbol into her Active Style.

Symbol added the Ice and Bind Rings to her right fingers, then pressed her Wizard Driver’s right Shift Lever. [MAGIC TOUCHIE HENSHIN!] She scanned her right glove across her Wizard Driver’s Hand Author. [ICE BIND PLEASE!] Symbol held her right glove out to the side and the two magic circles appeared before moving through her. Transforming Symbol into the Active Ice Bind Style.

Symbol pressed her Wizard Driver’s right Shift Lever twice. [MAGIC TOUCHIE GO!] Then she scanned her right glove over her Wizard Driver’s Hand Author. [BIND MAGIC PLEASE!] Symbol threw the Grapple Gauntlet forwards, attaching a chain of orange magical energy to the generator. She pulled back and the generator started to turn.

“Eh?!” shouted Dante when he saw this.

“How did you-?” questioned Vergil.

“You two must have loosened it,” replied Symbol humbly as the green rock appeared and shot a beam of light through the tunnel. The beam bounced around and into the pillar that displayed three waves, which had just risen out of the ground in the vault room.

Then the Phantoms appeared.

There was a Butcher Phantom, a Wizard Phantom and a Tyrant Phantom.

Symbol ran towards the Tyrant Phantom without a word.

Dante looked at Vergil and nodded to the Wizard Phantom.

Vergil gave his brother a nod as he walked towards the Butcher Phantom.

Let the battle begin.

Symbol dodge to the side as the Tyrant Phantom set itself on fire and charged at him. She switched the Burst Ring for the Giga Ring and pressed down on her Driver’s left Shift Lever. [MAGICAL TOUCH HENSHIN!] Then Symbol jumped back, avoiding a backhand from the Tyrant Phantom as she scanned her left glove over her Wizard Driver’s Hand Author. [GIGA PLEASE!] Symbol held her left glove down to the ground, the Giga magic circle appeared and rose through her. [BREAK THROUGH!] Transforming Symbol into the Giga Style, just in time to avoid a body slam from the Tyrant Phantom.

Symbol pressed her Wizard Driver’s left Shift Lever once. [MAGICAL TOUCH SPELL!] Then she scanned the Giga Ring across her Wizard Driver’s Hand Author as the Tyrant Phantom set its left fist on fire. [GIGA C RANK SPELL!] Symbol clenched her right glove into a fist as it was covered in green magical energy. Both Kamen Rider and Phantom drove their fists forwards and they met, causing a shockwave that blew the both of them back from the force behind them.

Symbol quickly recovered as the Tyrant Phantom’s weight caused it to fall over. She pressed her Wizard Driver’s left Shift Lever twice. [MAGICAL TOUCH SPELL!] Symbol scanned her left glove over her Wizard Driver’s Hand Author. [GIGA B RANK SPELL!] Symbol pulled back her right glove as it was covered in green magical energy. She drove it down, into the ground, firing a line of green magical energy that threw the Tyrant Phantom up into the air with sparks coming from its body.

Then Symbol pressed her Wizard Driver’s left Shift Lever four times. [MAGICAL TOUCH GO! VERY NICE!] She scanned the Giga Ring over her Wizard Driver’s Hand Author as the Tyrant Phantom started to fall back down to the ground. [GIGA! S RANK SPELL! THE BEST!] Symbol slowly clenched both of her gloves into fists as she pulled them back and slammed them down on the ground. “Giga Smash!” a wave of green magical energy came from her gloves and threw the Tyrant Phantom back into the air with more sparks coming from its body.

As Sunset Shimmer Sparda, Symbol would have frowned since she saw no microexplosions going off around the Phantom. “Still not enough?” she added the Bombardment and Drill Rings to her right glove, then hit her Wizard Driver’s right Shift Lever. [MAGIC TOUCHIE HENSHIN!] Then she scanned her right glove over her Wizard Driver’s Hand Author.  [BOMBARDMENT DRILL PLEASE!] Symbol held her right glove down to the ground and the two magic circles appeared under her boots before moving up through her.

As the Tyrant Phantom smashed into the cave and started to fall back down, Symbol pressed her Wizard Driver’s right Shift Lever. [MAGIC TOUCHIC GO!] Then she scanned her right glove over her Wizard Driver’s Hand Author again. [DRILL MAGIC PLEASE!] The Spiral Cannon fired a thin beam of purple magical energy that tore through the Tyrant Phantom, making sparks come from both the entrance at exit points.

“Still not enough?!” then Symbol switched the Drill Ring for the Terra Ring and pressed her Wizard Driver’s left Shift Lever. [MAGIC TOUCHIE HENSHIN!] Symbol scanned her right glove over her Wizard Driver’s Hand Author. [BOMBARDMENT TERRA PLEASE!] Symbol held her right glove down to the ground and the terra magic circle appeared under her boots, then rose up through her. Transforming Symbol into the Giga Bombardment Terra Style.

Symbol struck her Wizard Driver’s right Shift lever twice as the Tyrant Phantom got back up. [MAGIC TOUCHIC GO!] The Phantom set itself on fire and charged at Symbol as she scanned her right glove over her Wizard Driver’s Hand Author. [BOMBARDMENT MAGIC PLEASE!] Symbol took aim with the Chain Cannons a blur magical energy built up in front of both cannons. Then they fired, the orbs transforming into a pair of blue energy beams that slammed into the Tyrant Phantom. It was sent sliding back before its boots got a grip on the ground and started to force the beams back.

‘This things strong!’ thought Symbol as she pressed down on her Wizard Driver’s right Shift Lever twice. [MAGIC TOUCHIC GO!] ‘But it's not strong enough!’ Symbol scanned her right glove over her Wizard Driver’s Hand Author. [TERRA MAGIC PLEASE!] Just before the Tyrant Phantom could get in range to take a swing at Symbol, the Chain Cannons fired a pair of shotgun slugs. They impacted with the Tyrant Phantom and sent it flying backwards with sparks and microexplosions going off around its body.

“Finally,” shouted Symbol as she slammed her glove down on her Wizard Driver’s left Shift Lever four times. [MAGICAL TOUCH GO! VERY NICE!] Symbol scanned her left glove over her Wizard Driver’s Hand Author as the Phantom set itself on fire. [GIGA! S RANK SPELL! THE BEST!] Green magical energy glowed around the Chain Cannons as a rock, covered in the same glow, was pulled from the ground and hovered in front of Symbol. “Terra Buster!” she fired a pair of green beams from the Chain Cannons, the rock burst into pieces that slammed into the Tyrant Phantom. Sparks exploded from its body as microexplosions went off around it until the Tyrant Phantom was covered by a large explosion.

Symbol turned to see how her brothers were doing when she felt an explosion of Phantom magical energy behind her. “You have got to be kidding me!” screamed Symbol as she turned around to see the Tyrant Phantom covered in white flames that had some sort of, wrong feeling to them. The Tyrant Phantom ran forwards and punched Symbol before she had any chance to react. Symbol was sent flying into the air and slammed into a wall with sparks exploding on impact.

Symbol recovered and switched the Bombardment Ring for the Hammer Ring, then pressed her Wizard Driver’s right Shift Lever. [MAGIC TOUCHIE HENSHIN!] Then Symbol scanned her right glove over her Wizard Driver’s Hand Author as the flames around the Tyrant Phantom grew more intense and it charged at her. [HAMMER TERRA PLEASE!] Just before the Tyrant Phantom could reach her, Symbol held her right glove down to the ground and the hammer magic circle appeared. It rose up through her, blocking the Tyrant Phantom’s body slam and transforming Symbol into the Giga Hammer Terra Style.

Symbol jumped back as the terra magic circle vanished, letting the Tyrant Phantom slam into the ground. As it got back up Symbol pressed her Wizard Driver’s right Shift Lever twice. [MAGIC TOUCHIC GO!] Then she scanned her right glove over her Wizard Driver’s Hand Author as the Tyrant Phantom charged. [TERRA MAGIC PLEASE!] The Ripper Hammer ballooned in size as Symbol swung it around. Only for the Tyrant Phantom to catch it and used the Ripper Hammer to pull her closers. It punched her again, sending Symbol flying into a wall. Before she could slide down, she was upper cutted into the air and slammed into the cave’s roof. Sparks exploded from Symbol as she fell back down and was punched with a right straight, it sent her flying into another wall with micro explosions going off around her body while a dust cloud was kicked up.

The Tyrant Phantom turned away. [TOUCH TO ADVANCE YOUR CLASS!] Only to turn back as it heard the sound of Symbol’s Wizard Driver. [ADVANCE PLEASE!] The dust cloud faded just as Symbol finished transforming, but she had yellow and grey lightning sparking over her body from the amount of damage she had taken.

‘I won’t last much longer,’ thought Symbol as she pressed her Wizard Driver’s left Shift Lever once. [TOUCH TO CAST THE NEXT LEVEL!] Then Symbol scanned her left glove over her Wizard Driver’s Hand Author as her right forearm guard started to leak yellow particles. [ADVANCE C TIER SPELL!] They gathered around Symbol’s right glove as she punched forwards and fired a beam of yellow magical energy that slammed into the Tyrant Phantom. It was sent sliding back but quickly got a grip on the ground and started to force the beam backwards.

Symbol winced as a burst of pain tore through her helmet and disrupted her focused on the beam. The Tyrant Phantom broke through and charged at Symbol as she recovered and pressed her Wizard Driver’s left Shift Lever four times. [TOUCH TO CAST THE NEXT LEVEL! VERY NICE!] She scanned her left glove over her Wizard Driver’s Hand Author as yellow magical energy covered her upper legs. [ADVANCE S TIER SPELL! THE BEST!] Symbol jumped into the air, over the Tyrant Phantom’s fist and spun around, kicking it with the back of her right heel. She used her momentum to kick with the back of her other heel, then she kicked it with the front of her right boot before doing the same with her left boot. “Advance Impact!” shouted Symbol as the Tyrant Phantom staggered backwards and exploded.

Still, in the Demon Style, Vergil blocked a buzzsaw with the Space Yamato Katana as he pressed down on its second button. [TWO!] Golden magical energy covered Vergil’s right boot as he jumped into the air [KATANA STRIKE! NOW!] Vergil went shooting down and slammed its boot into the Butcher Phantom’s chest orb. Only to have to block a slash from its buzzsaws with the Space Yamato Katana.

Vergil jumped back as he pressed his Wizard Driver’s left Shift Lever twice. [YES! KICK STRIKE!] Then he scanned the Demon Ring across it as an orb of golden magical energy appeared next to him. [UNDERSTAND!?] It thinned out and transformed into a sword of golden magical energy. It shot forwards, only for the Butcher Phantom to shatter it with one of its buzzsaws. Vergil would have frowned in his human form as he fired several more swords, forcing the Butcher Phantom to block and shatter all of them.

Vergil jumped into the air as he pressed down on the Space Yamato Katana’s fifth button. [FIVE!] Golden magical energy covered the sword as the Butcher Phantom glanced up at Vergil now that the barrage of swords had ceased. [KATANA STRIKE! NOW!] Vergil slashed down, firing a crescent of golden magical energy down that the Butcher Phantom had to block by crossing both of its arms.

Suddenly, the Butcher Phantom uncrossed its arms and fired five small buzzsaws at Vergil. He pressed the fourth button on the Space Yamato Katana. [FOUR!] The buzzsaws approached as Vergil pulled back the Space Yamato Katana, which was now covered in golden magical energy. [KATANA STRIKE! NOW!] Vergil stabbed the Space Yamato Katana into the ground and out of it erupted a circle of golden magical energy with Vergil in the centre, knocking the buzzsaws away.

The Butcher Phantom stomped up to Vergil as it saw both of its buzzsaws on fire and slashed down with one of them. Vergil dodged to the side as he pressed the first button on the Space Yamato Katana. [ONE!] Golden magical energy covered the Space Yamato Katana as Vergil used it to block the buzzsaw. [KATANA STRIKE! NOW!] With a grunt of effort, Vergil forced the buzzsaw off him and slashed the Butcher Phantom across the face, making sparks bleed out of it. The Phantom roar in pain as it staggered back, letting Vergil slash an X onto its face with another pair of slashes.

Taking his opening, Vergil pressed down on the Space Yamato Katana’s fourth button. [FOUR!] Golden magical energy covered the Space Yamato Katana as Vergil rose it up with the tip of the sword pointing to the ground. [KATANA STRIKE! NOW!] Vergil stabbed the Space Yamato Katana into the ground and out of the impact point came an explosion of golden magical energy with Vergil in the centre, forcing the Butcher Phantom to move back with sparks coming from its body.

While the Butcher Phantom was still off balance, Vergil pressed the second button on the Space Yamato Katana. [TWO!] Golden magical energy covered the Space Yamato Katana before being pulled into Vergil’s right boot as he jumped into the air. [KATANA STRIKE! NOW!] He came down with a flying kick and slammed his boot into the Phantom’s face, making it move back with a crackling glass sound coming from the glass orb that held its face.

The Butcher Phantom teetered and then fell over as Vergil leapt into the air. He pressed the third button on the Space Yamato Katana as he reached the top of his jump. [THREE!] Vergil let golden magical energy cover the Space Yamato Katana before it was pulled into his left boot. [KATANA STRIKE! NOW!] Vergil went shooting down as the golden magical energy covered his body and slammed his boot into the Butcher Phantom’s orb. Sparks flew as microexplosion went off around the Butcher Phantom and another glass cracking sound came from the orb.

“You shall die,” spat out Vergil in a venomous monotone as he pressed the Space Yamato Katana’s sixth button. [SIX!] Golden magical energy covered the Space Yamato Katana as Vergil jumped back to gain a bit of distance. [KATANA STRIKE! NOW!] Vergil ran his left glove over the back of the Space Yamato Katana. [YES! KATANA STRIKE!] Golden magical energy surged around the Space Yamato Katana as Vergil swung. [UNDERSTAND?!] A crescent of golden magical energy surged out of the Space Yamato Katana and wrapped around the Butcher Phantom. Sparks flew out of it in a continuous storm as it was hacked away at by a countless number of sword slashes that appeared from thin air. Then the Butcher Phantom exploded after behind attacked for five whole seconds.

Unlike his sister, Vergil gazed into the smoke from the explosion, waiting for it to clear so he could see if his opponent was really dead. An explosion of Phantom magical energy proved that it hadn’t died. The Butcher Phantom stomped out of the smoke with its body glowing from the white fire coming off it. This flame felt wrong like it was unnatural.

Vergil threw himself to the side as the Butcher Phantom streaked forwards and slashed down where he had just been standing. Vergil rolled to one knee guard as he slid the Gravity Ring onto his right middle finger, pressed down on his Wizard Driver’s right Shift Lever and scanned the Gravity Ring across it. [b][GRAVITY TRIGGER!] Vergil held his right glove down to the ground as the gravity magic circle appeared under his boots and rose up through him. [NOW!] Transforming Vergil into the Gravity Demon Style and blocking the Butcher Phantom’s buzzsaw as it swung it down.

Vergil dashed toward the Butcher Phantom, becoming nothing but a golden streak as he pressed the first button on the Space Yamato Gravity Katana. [ONE!] Golden magical energy surged up and down the length of the sword. [GRAVITY KATANA STRIKE! NOW!] Vergil swung it in an upwards swing, then a downwards swing, before ending in an across swing. The Butcher Phantom tried to block all three, but the after images that followed the sword’s movements had broken through its guard.

The Butcher Phantom swung down at Vergil as he pressed the second button on the Space Yamato Gravity Katana. [TWO!] Golden magical energy surged around Vergil’s right boot as he balanced on his left boot. [GRAVITY KATANA STRIKE! NOW!] He booted the Phantom in the face ob and sent it flying back with another glass cracking sound coming from it as it went flying back.

The Butcher Phantom bounced along the ground for several paces before sliding to a stop. Vergil appeared above it and pressed the third button on the Space Yamato Gravity Katana. [THREE!] Golden magical energy covered the Space Yamato Gravity Katana before the energy was pulled into Vergil’s right boot. [GRAVITY KATANA STRIKE! NOW!] He went shooting down and slammed his boot into the Butcher Phantom’s chest orb. Sparks exploded from both the Butcher Phantom and Vergil as it had struck the Kamen Rider across the chestplate with one of its buzzsaws covered in white fire.

Vergil gave a shout of pain as he was sent flying backwards and flipped back to his boots. By that time, the Butcher Phantom had gotten back up and closed the distance, getting ready to slash Vergil with a downwards swing. Vergil pressed the fourth button on the Space Yamato Gravity Katana. [FOUR!] Golden magical energy ran up and down the length of the Space Yamato Gravity Katana as Vergil brought it up with the tip pointing down. [GRAVITY KATANA STRIKE! NOW!] Vergil slammed the Space Yamato Gravity Katana into the ground and golden magical energy surged out of the impact point, sending the Butcher Phantom flying back with sparks and microexplosions going off around it. 

Then Vergil ran his left glove over the back of the Space Yamato Gravity Katana. [YES! GRAVITY KATANA STRIKE!] Golden magical energy covered the sword as Vergil brought it up and stabbed it into the ground. [UNDERSTAND?!] A circle of golden magical energy spread out along the ground with Vergil in the centre. Then it shrank so that it was in front of the Space Yamato Gravity Katana. Out of circle rose a small ball of golden magical energy. “Volcano!” it shot forwards and slammed into the Butcher Phantom before exploding. When the smoke cleared the Butcher Phantom had vanished.

Dante rolled to the side as the Wizard Phantom fired a spinning red spear at him. Knowing that the Arbiter Axe would be powerless against the Phantom’s shield, Dante switched the Arbiter Ring for the Aquila Ring then punched it into his Driver’s left slot. [SET!] Dante turned his wrist back, then forwards, making his Driver’s gate close and open again. [OPEN!] The Aquila magic circle appeared from Dante’s Driver and moved back through him. [A-Q-U-I-L-A!] Transforming Dante into the Aquila Style.

The Wizard Phantom fired another flaming spear at Dante who rolled to the side, avoiding it as he punched the Aquila Ring into the Aquila Star’s slot. [FOUR!] The wind blue dice appeared and rolled onto a light blue four. [SHURIKEN STRIKE!] Dante pulled back the Aquila Stars and flung them forwards. They shot through the air and spun around the Wizard Phantom before transforming a ring of light blue light that slammed closed around the Phantom. The inside edge of it acted as a buzzsaw as it cut away at the Wizard Phantoms shield.

The Wizard Phantom saw cracks starting to form in its shield and made it explode. Breaking the ring as it teleported away. It appeared several feet to the right. Dante punched the Aquila Ring into the slot of the second pair of Aquila Stars that had appeared in his gloves. [FIVE!] The wind blue dice appeared and spun around several times before stopping on five light blue dots. [SHURIKEN STRIKE!] Dante was covered in the light blue wind as he darted forwards, becoming nothing but a streak of light blue light as he slammed into the Wizard Phantom with a shoulder charge. Sparks exploded from the Wizard Phantom as it was cut into by the light blue wind. Microexplosions went off around its body before it teleported to the other side of the cavern.

Dante darted towards the Wizard Phantom as its shield reform and it fired a line of black rocks at him. Dante punched the Aquila Ring into the Aquila Star’s slot again. [THREE!] The wind blue dice rolled back onto a trio of light blue dots. [SHURIKEN STRIKE!] Dante spun around and threw out the Aquila Stars. They orbited him as they replicated into three pairs that transformed into three rings of light blue light around Dante. The rock wave struck the first ring and shattered it with ease. They had a bit more trouble getting through the second ring but were unable to break through the third ring.

Dante punched the Aquila Ring into the Aquila Star’s slot once more. [FOUR!] The wind blue dice rolled so that it displayed another light blue dot. [SHURIKEN STRIKE!] Dante launched the Aquila Stars and they orbited the Wizard Phantom’s shield, transforming into a light blue ring of light. The inside edge of it acted as a buzzsaw, cutting sparks from the Wizard Phantom’s shield. Cracks started to appear.

The Wizard Phantom teleported away as its shield exploded. Dante made another copy of the Aquila Stars appear in his gloves as he punched the Aquila Ring into the back of them once more. [TWO!] The wind blue dice spun back so that is displayed a pair of light blue dots. [SHURIKEN STRIKE!] Dante propelled the Aquila Stars forwards and they orbited the Wizard Phantom. Before it had time to teleport away or reform its shield, the ring snapped closed. Trapped its arms to its sides and blocking its powers. The ring moved back towards Dante, dragging the helpless Phantom with it.

Dante quickly punched the Aquila Ring into his Driver’s left slot and turned his wrist forwards. [KICK STRIKE GO!] Light blue magical energy surged down from his Driver and into his right boots before surging outwards. It engulfed Dante’s right boot in a bonfire of light blue magical energy. “Buy In!” shouted Dante as he balanced on his left boot and kicked the Wizard Phantom in the chest just as it got within kicking range. The Phantom was sent flying back with sparks bleeding from the impact point and microexplosions going off around it. The Wizard Phantom slammed into one of the cave’s walls and exploded.

Dante turned away to go and help his siblings when he felt an explosion of Phantom magical energy behind him. “You have got to be kidding!” shouted Dante as he turned around to see the Wizard Phantom rise back into the air. It was covered in white flames that felt wrong, somehow. It regenerated its shield and fired a spinning red spear that Dante dodged, only for sparks to explode from his chestplate as he was hit by a second red spinning spear that was behind the first.

“Argh!” Dante was sent flying from the force behind the spear as he got back to his boots, he saw another line of rocks roaring towards him. Dante quickly punched the Aquila Ring into the Aquila Star’s slot. [THREE!] The wind blue dice appeared and spun around, stopping on a trio of light blue dots. [SHURIKEN STRIKE!] Dante spun around the threw the Aquila Stars. They orbited him and cloned themselves into three copies that transformed into three rings of light blue magical energy. Only for the rock line to break through all three rings, not slowing down at all as they rammed into Dante’s chestplate and made sparks explode from the impact as he was sent flying backwards.

Dante got back up and punched the Aquila Ring into the Aquila Star’s slot. [FIVE!] “Time to try something new,” the wind blue dice appeared and spun around, stopping on five light blue dots. [SHURIKEN STRIKE!] Dante covered himself in light blue magical energy and the light blue wind as he shot forwards. He was forced to dodge around several more spinning red spears by wide margins to avoid the second spears that were behind the first ones.

He jumped into the air and punched the Aquila Ring into the Aquila Star’s slot. [SIX!] The wind blue dice appeared and spun, stopping on six light blue dots. [SHURIKEN STRIKE!] Dante spun around with the light blue wind wrapping around him and forming into a tornado. The Wizard Phantom fired several more red spinning spears like bullets that smashed into Dante after ripping through the tornado with ease and sending Dante flying back with sparks coming from his body.

“What does it take to beat this thing?!” shouted Dante. Suddenly, the Wizard Phantom’s barrier vanished and appeared around him. For a second Dante was confused, then he realised what was about to happen. “Oh no,” he groaned. The barrier slammed closed around him and there was an explosion inside it.

The Wizard Phantom turned away, ready to go and finish the other two Kamen Riders from behind while they were fighting the Butcher Phantom and the Tyrant Phantom. [TRIGGER!] Suddenly, it heard the sound of Dante’s Driver. [GO ANGEL!] It turned back towards Dante. [AN-AN-AN-ANGEL!] Just in time for the smoke to clear and Dante to emerge in his Angel Trigger Style.

Dante punched the Trigger Ring in its Angel Mode into the back of the Rebellion Magnum Aquila Mode. [ANGEL ONE!] A wind blue one with light blue outlines appeared next to the Rebellion Magnum’s skull. [MAGNUM STRIKE!] Dante blurred forwards and appeared in front of the Wizard Phantom, slashing it with the shuriken blade on the front of the Rebellion Magnum.

The Wizard Phantom went flying back as Dante punched the Angel Trigger Ring into the back of the Rebellion Magnum once more. [ANGEL FIVE!] The wind blue one with light blue outlines turned into a wind blue five with light blue outlines. [MAGNUM STRIKE!] Dante was covered in the light blue wind as he vanished in a blur and appeared in the Wizard Phantom’s flight path. He rammed his right shoulder pauldron into the Wizard Phantom’s back, earning a shower of sparks from the Phantom as it went shooting forwards with its momentum completely reversed.

“Time to finish this!” Dante punched the Angel Trigger Ring into his Driver’s left slot and turned his wrist forwards. [KICK STRIKE! GO!] The light blue wind surrounded Dante as he dashed forwards. [ANGEL!] The light blue wind projected Dante forwards as it surrounded his right boot. “Caliber!” he jumped into a fly kick that made contact with the Phantom’s back. It was wrapped in the light blue wind and sent flying forwards with sparks coming from its body until it exploded after leaving a Wizard Phantom shaped creator in the cave’s wall.

[MAGICAL TOUCH HENSHIN!] [ACTIVE PLEASE!] [LET’S GO!] Symbol winced as she transformed back into the Active Style. She had been less than five seconds away from losing control. 

The siblings ran back through the tunnel and quickly reached the vault room.

Vergil turned to his brother and sister. “Ok, listen up. To pop this beast open, you will need to line up the four conduits with their corresponding servers. Did you get that?” asked Vergil.

“I’m not stupid Vergil,” complained Dante.

“Then why have I had to explain this to you five times?” deadpanned Vergil.

“He’s got you there,” whispered Symbol.

Dante slumped in defeat.

Symbol placed her glove on Vergil’s shoulder and channelled her aura into him, making him fade back into the real world.

“Line up all four, got it,” stated Symbol.

“Where did you learn to do that?” asked Dante as he moved to help Symbol.

“What?” asked Vergil not understanding what his brother was talking about.

“That computer stuff,” replied Dante.

“Hacking? I taught myself as a kid. I guess it gave me a sense of control,” replied Vergil.

“Control? We never had that, did we?” mourned Dante.

“No,” replied Symbol.

“I always felt something was amiss, that something was missing,” replied Vergil.

“So did I. It’s like a burning feeling inside,” explained Dante.

“Exactly. But I knew that if I peeled back the layers of bullshit, the truth would eventually come out,” stated Vergil as he continued to type. “I guess I channelled that energy into hacking. You? How did you find release.”

“Out of context, that sounded so wrong,” muttered Symbol.

“Killing Phantoms and getting laid,” replied Dante. “But that hacking stuff does sound cool too,” replied Dante without shame.

At that moment they got the last of the conduits lined up and the vault door opened.

Vergil walked up to his siblings. “You two know what you have to do. You lure him out. I’ll close the Phantom Gate with the Yamato Katana. Then we go for the kill.”

“Any ideas who we draw him out?” asked Dante.

“Take credit for what that Gem Maiden did. Get him rabid,” explained Vergil. 

“Got it,” Dante and Symbol started forwards.

Vergil step in front of them. “BUT, do not try and kill him. He’s immortal until I shut down the Phantom Gate and trying to kill him will just waste energy.”

“Right,” whispered Dante.

“This is it, Dante, Sunset. We have to put our lives in the hands of each other, completely, without hesitation,” warned Vergil.

“We are brothers and sister after all,” Symbol phased back into the real world and gave Vergil a quick hug before moving back into the Slip Dimension.

With that, they moved to face their parent’s killer.
> S1E20 Face of the Phantom
> --------------------------------------------------------------------------

The Wiseman Phantom’s human form aka Kyle Ryder was sitting in his office, with his back facing the door. He gazed at the Phantom Gate as Dante Sparda aka Kamen Rider Dante and Sunset Shimmer Sparda aka Kamen Rider Symbol walked in. “Why did you kill my child?” the pain in his voice nearly made Symbol flinch. 

When neither of them spoke he got up and turned to face them. “I will ask you again. Why did you kill my child?”

“Because you killed our mother,” replied Dante.

“And banished our father,” added Symbol. 

“Ah. So it was revenge. I see,” the Wiseman Phantom walked around his desk towards them.

“It was more than that,” objected Dante.

The Wiseman Phantom raised an eyebrow. “Oh?”

“It was for freedom” stated Dante.

“Freedom? Well, you seem to have all the freedom you need. The freedom to murder my heir” spat out the Wiseman Phantom.

“That isn’t what my brother meant and you know it!” shouted Symbol.

“I’m not talking about our freedom. I’m talking about mankind's,” confirmed Dante.

“Mankind?” the Wiseman Phantom echoed in slight disbelief before his lips twisted into a smirk. “What would mankind do with freedom do you suppose?” he walked in front of his desk and when neither spoke he continued. “Because when I arrived, they had it. And what do you think they did with it? They fought. They killed. They starved,” he glanced at the siblings then turned away. “I brought prosperity. I brought structure!” the Wiseman Phantom clenched his hand into a fist then turned back to the two Kamen Riders. “And what have you two brought? Besides violence. War. Death?”

“You as much as I hate to admit it, he’s right in a sick twisted sort of way,” muttered Symbol to the side

Vergil, now in Slip Dimension peaked around from behind a wall. “Come on Dante. Get him pissed!” 

Dante decided to unleash their trump card. “You know what Wiseman? Your right, it wasn’t for mankind. It was, it was for revenge,” he started to approach the Phantom King. “I gotta tell ya, killing your child like that, watching it explode into little wet chunks. Hearing you scream like one of your Phantom bitches?” by now he was in the Wiseman Phantom’s face. “Priceless!” 

Throughout this the Wiseman Phantom had been getting steadily angrier, that last word broke the camel's back. He threw his arms to the side and sent out a wave of phantom power that threw Dante down the hall and back into the vault room.

Symbol was only spared because she had been standing by the office door and smashed into the wall.

With a grunt, Dante got back up, his vision swimming. He glanced at Vergil, before looking back just in time to see the Wiseman Phantom come pelting down the hall and slam into him! The force threw them both out of the bank. “AAAAAAHHHHHHH!!!” shouted Dante as they fell, smashing through a piece of rubble and into the roof of an apartment building. 

After a second the Wiseman Phantom jumped out of the rubble and threw Dante to the edge of the roof. He grabbed Dante’s chest, with a murderous face, his fingers started to dig into the Kamen Rider’s chestplate. “I’m gonna make your watch, while I eat your beating heart!” he snarled


Bank: Wiseman’s office


“Ok, let’s shut this thing down!” Vergil jumped on the desk and drew the Yamato Katana.

Symbol pulled herself out of the wall. “Where’s Dante?!” she shouted at Vergil.

“Down there with Wiseman!” shouted Vergil. “I’d go and help him, I’ll join you in about a minute!” 

“On it,” Symbol bolted down the hall.


Dante, Wiseman and Sunset


*WHAM!*

Symbol was sent flying back from the brutal haymaker. She had drop-kicked the Wiseman Phantom in the face, forcing him away from Dante but doing no real damage at all.

The good news: He was away from Dante and focusing on her.

The bad news: He was away from Dante and focusing on her.


Vergil


The third Kamen Rider would have smirked if he was in his human form as he fired a beam of angelic energy from the Yamato Katana at the Phantom Gate. A wave of energy pulsed out from it.


Rooftop


Wiseman looked away from Symbol who he was in the process of murdering. “The Phantom Gate,” he whispered as he felt its power leave him.

He looked down and saw that the Slip Dimension and the real world had started to merge together. With images becoming what they really were and people now being able to see the Phantoms.

He looked at Symbol, then back at Dante, who he was still strangling, and demanded. “What have you done?!” 

Symbol saw her opening and pressed her Wizard Driver’s left Shift Lever four times. [MAGICAL TOUCH GO! VERY NICE!] Then she scanned the Active Ring over her Wizard Driver’s Hand Author. [ACTIVE! S RANK SPELL! THE BEST!] Red lightning covered her right boot as the balanced on her left boot and threw a kick. Her boot made contact with the Wiseman Phantom’s side and sent him skidding back away from Dante.

He got up and was about to charge at the siblings when the Yamato Katana pierced through his chest. He gurgled in pain and roared in shock as he stared at the blade coming from his chest.

“Leave my family alone!” snarled out Vergil.

With a roar, Dante threw the Wiseman Phantom off him and over the edge of the building. Dante spat after him as the Wiseman Phantom crashed into a black sports car. 

“You ok, Dante? Sunset?” asked Vergil.

“You took your time,” replied Dante.

“We’re fine, Vergil,” panted Symbol with her gloves on her knee armour. A crack in her crystal chestplate was slowly shrinking has her body healed the damage. “Man, how hard did he hit me?!”

“You’re welcome,” Vergil stated to Dante dully. 

At that moment something exploded out of the street, shot into the air as a white streak before landing in front of the Kamen Riders.

“I knew it couldn’t be that easy!” shouted Dante in anger.

The Phantom’s feet looked like white boots with the tips of them pointing upwards. His legs were white with a grey stripe going up the outside of his right leg that crossed over to the upper left side of his stomach. Coming up from his left leg to his left hip and then up to his chest was a white spike of flesh. A second spike came from his right hip, while a fourth and fifth spike came from under each armpit. His right shoulder was white and pointed up, while his left shoulder was white, it pointed outwards. Each shoulder had a spike that pointed to his chest. Around his neck was a collar like piece of white flesh that was grey on the right side and had a spike pointing to his chest. His upper arms were white, while his lower arms were grey and his hands were white. His forearms had white flesh like armour with three raised ridges on the outside of them. His head was white with a spike coming from the top of it. He had no eyes and the top left half of his head was purple. In the centre of his chest was a purple circle with a mass of swirling energy on the inside of it.

This was the true form of the Wiseman Phantom

“Two male Kamen Riders?!” he shouted. “Two Sons of Sparda?!” Then he realised something as he looked at Symbol. “You're still alive?!” 

“What was your first clue? Me appearing, or me kicking you in the face?” deadpanned Symbol. She glanced at her brothers. “Looks like the jig is up!” 

Dante looked to Vergil. “We can kill him now?”

“The Phantom gate is shut,” replied Vergil.

“Are you ready for this?” asked Symbol. Then she paused. “Why do I feel like I would have quoted another Driver if I removed the last two words?”

“No idea,” replied Dante.

“You will die,” threatened the Wiseman Phantom.

“NEVER!” roared Vergil. Then he turned to his siblings. “Any ideas?”

“See that eye in the centre of his chest?” shouted Dante.

“Yeah?” asked Vergil.

Symbol realised what Dante was saying. “His Phantom Child had something like that!” 

Dante nodded. “We start there!” 

“Ok, we’ll have to get it open,” warned Vergil.

“Clearly!” shouted Symbol.

“I am Wiseman,” spoke up the Wiseman Phantom.

“YOU’RE AN ASSHOLE!” bellowed Dante.

The Wiseman Phantom gave a loud roar as he fired a blast of silver flame from his right hand. 

Symbol jumped forwards as she added the Boost and Defend Rings to her right glove, before pressing down on her Wizard Driver’s right Shift Lever. [MAGIC TOUCHIE HENSHIN!] Then she scanned her right glove over her Wizard Driver’s Hand Author. [BOOST DEFEND PLEASE!] The flames rocketed forwards as Symbol held her right glove out to the side, the two magic circles appeared and passed through her, transforming Symbol into the Active Boost Defend Style.

Then Symbol pressed down on her Wizard Driver’s right Shift Lever twice. [MAGIC TOUCHIE GO!] Before she scanned her right glove over her Wizard Driver’s Hand Author. [DEFEND MAGIC PLEASE!] She held up the Defend Shield and it was covered in a thin layer of grey magical energy. The fire blast slammed into the Defend Shield and broke through the energy layer like it was glass. “Oh no!” Symbol was sent flying back and smashed into a wall on the rooftop they were on.

“SUNSET!” shouted both of her brothers before they turned back to the Wiseman Phantom, livid.

Dante leapt into the air as he punched his Nephilim Ring into the Rebellion Blade’s slot. [ONE!] The sword’s mouth opened to show a pair of blood red and light blue dots. [NEPHILIM SABER STRIKE!] Dante came shooting down with an overhead slash aimed at the Wiseman Phantom’s head.

Vergil dashed in front of the Wiseman Phantom and pressed the third button on the Space Sheath. [THREE!] Blood red and light blue magical energy were pulled into the Space Sheath before being drawn into the Yamato Katana. [KATANA STRIKE! NOW!] At high speed, Vergil drew the Yamato Katana from the Space Sheath and slashed upwards, just as Dante came down.

Both of the attacks slammed into a shield of silver magical energy that appeared in front of them.

Vergil grunted as he tried to force the Yamato Katana through the shield with no success.

Dante’s visors went wide as he saw the build-up of magical energy around the Rebellion Blade. “What the?!”

*BOOM!*

Both of them were sent flying backwards with sparks coming from their armour as they skipped over the ground like stones in a pond.

Only got back up just in time to witness this and punched down on her Wizard Driver’s right Shift Lever. [MAGIC TOUCHIE GO!] Purple magical energy ran through the Boost Grieves as she jumped into the air. [BOOST MAGIC PLEASE!] Symbol made a magic circle appear behind her and jumped off it towards, the Wiseman Phantom.

“Hey ugly!” shouted Symbol. [MAGICAL TOUCH GO! VERY NICE!] The Wiseman Phantom looked up. [ACTIVE! S RANK SPELL! THE BEST!] Just in time for a pair of boots covered in red lightning to impact with its shield and cause it to develop a hairline crack as Symbol jumped back off it.

Dante came running forwards, firing with Ebony and Ivory, only for the bullets to bounce off the Wiseman Phantom’s shield. With a growl, Dante held down the triggers of both hand cannons. A ring of blood red magical energy was pulled into both hand cannons, followed by a ring of light blue magical energy. A ring of white magical energy was pulled into Ivory, while a ring of black magical energy was pulled into Ebony. [EBONY AND IVORY STRIKE!] Dante let go of both triggers, firing a pair of bullets. “Ricoshot!” they spiralled around each other, creating a cone effect as they slammed into the Wiseman Phantom’s shield, grinding sparks out of it. 

The Wiseman Phantom saw this and raised a hand, the cone was covered in silver magical energy before it shot back towards Dante.

“WHAT?!” shouted Dante with wide visors as he saw this.

Vergil pressed down on his Wizard Driver’s left Shift Lever once. [YES! KICK STRIKE!] Then he scanned his left glove over his Wizard Driver’s Hand Author. [UNDERSTAND!?] He was covered in dark blue magical energy as he vanished in a burst of short-range teleportation. He came out of the teleport in front of Dante.

Then he pressed down on his Wizard Driver’s left Shift Lever three times. [YES! KICK STRIKE!] Dante’s attack approached as Vergil scanned his left glove over his Wizard Driver’s Hand Author. [UNDERSTAND!?] Dark blue magical energy gathered around Vergil before shaping into a ring of swords that spun around him and Dante, cancelling out Dante’s attack.

“Thanks, Vergil,” thanked Dante.

“Don’t mention it,” replied Vergil as he rocketed forwards towards the Wiseman Phantom. He punched down on the Space Sheath’s first button. [ONE!] Blood red and light blue magical energy was pulled into the Space Sheath and then into the Yamato Katana. [KATANA STRIKE! NOW!] Vergil pulled the Yamato Katana from the Space Sheath and slashed upwards, then across, before ending with a downwards slash. Each slash had made a loud clang against the Wiseman Phantom’s shield.

The Phantom had an unimpressed look on its face as it holds up a hand, forming a sphere of silver fire. It launched the sphere at Vergil from point blank range, sending him flying back with sparks coming from his armour.

Dante ducked under Vergil as he went flying past and blitzed forwards. He punched his Nephilim Ring into the Rebellion Blade’s slot. [FIVE!] The mouth opened to reveal five blood red and light blue dots. [NEPHILIM SABER STRIKE!] Dante stabbed forwards into the Wiseman Phantom’s shield, failing to do any damage.

With a snarl, Dante punched his Nephilim Ring into the Rebellion Blade’s slot. [SIX!] The mouth opened to reveal six blood red and light blue dots. [NEPHILIM SABER STRIKE!] Dante unleashed several thousand stabs in the space of the next five seconds making sparks fly from the Wiseman Phantom’s shield.

Once more the Phantom was unimpressed and blasted Dante back with a wave of silver magical energy.

Symbol had been looking at her brothers in shock. ‘Are, are they stupid?!’ she mentally shouted as she switched the Active Ring for the Giga Ring. [MAGICAL TOUCH HENSHIN!] Then Symbol pressed down on her Wizard Driver’s left Shift Lever. [GIGA PLEASE!] She scanned her left glove over her Wizard Driver’s Hand Author. [BREAK THROUGH!] Then Symbol held her left glove down to the ground, the Giga magic circle appeared under her boots and rose up through her, transforming Symbol into the Giga Style.

Symbol drew the Giga Axe as she pulled on its thumb, opening its Hand Author. [MAGICAL TOUCH GO! VERY NICE!] Symbol shook hands with the Spear Axe’s Hand Author. [GIGA! S RANK SPELL! THE BEST!] Green magical energy surged through it as Symbol jumped into the air. “Giga Strike!” shouted Symbol as she brought the Giga Axe down on the 	Wiseman Phantom’s shield, making a glowing green crack spread through it on contact. 

Symbol jumped back, as the Wiseman Phantom threw another blast of silver fire at her which she blocked with her forearm guard. Sparks came from that piece of armour as Symbol slid back several paces before she threw her left arm out to the side, batting the fire blast away.

“How did you do that?” asked Dante.

Symbol gave her rebel brother a blank look. “Seriously?” she demanded.

Dante gave her an odd look.

“We’re fighting a Phantom with a shield and my Giga Style is a shield breaker,” deadpanned Symbol.

Vergil ran up to the Wiseman Phantom from behind and pressed down on the Space Sheath’s second button. [TWO!] Blood red and light blue magical energy were pulled into the Space Sheath, then channelled through the Yamato Katana. [KATANA STRIKE! NOW!] Vergil drew the Yamato Katana from the Space Sheath as he slashed the Wiseman Phantom twice in an X shape. Sparks flew from the shield as it appeared and blocked both slashes.

The Wiseman Phantom fire another blast of silver flames that Vergil jumped over and landed next to his siblings.

Just in time to hear what Symbol had said to Dante.

Vergil faceplate palmed. “Man, I feel stupid now!” 

“You should feel stupid!” Symbol added the Bombardment and Drill Rings to her right glove and pressed down on her Wizard Driver’s right Shift Lever. [MAGIC TOUCHIE HENSHIN!] Then she scanned her right glove over her Wizard Driver’s Hand Author. [BOMBARDMENT DRILL PLEASE!] Symbol held her right glove down to the ground, making the two magic circles appear under her boots and rise up through her.

Symbol pressed down on her Wizard Driver’s right Shift Lever twice. [MAGIC TOUCHIC GO!] Then she scanned her right glove over her Wizard Driver’s Hand Author. [DRILL MAGIC PLEASE!] Purple magical energy built up around the front of the Spiral Cannon before Symbol fired. A beam of tight, narrow, spiralling purple magical energy shot out of the Spiral Cannon and drilled a small hole into the Wiseman Phantom’s shield.

“I’ll back you up!” Dante shouted to Vergil as he switched his Nephilim Ring for the Arbiter Ring and punched it into his Driver’s left slot. [SET!] Dante turned his wrist back, then forwards, making his Driver’s gate close and open again. [OPEN!] The arbiter magic circle appeared from Dante’s Driver and moved back through him. [A-R-B-I-T-E-R!] Transforming Dante into the Arbiter Style.

Then Dante punched the Arbiter Ring into the Arbiter Axe’s slot. [ONE!] The earth red dice appeared and spun, stopping on a single flame red dot. [AXE STRIKE!] Red magical energy surged around the blade of the Arbiter Axe as Dante swung it down. The energy transformed into an axe head construct that flew through the air, spinning. 

Vergil ran at the Wiseman Phantom as he switched his Nephilim Ring for the Demon Ring and pressed down on his Wizard Driver’s left Shift Lever. [MAGICAL TOUCH HENSHIN!] Then he scanned his left glove over his Wizard Driver’s Hand Author. [DEMON!] Vergil held his right glove down to the ground as he rolled to the side. [NOW!] The demon magic circle appeared under Vergil’s boots and rose up through him as Dante’s attack went streaking through where he had just been.

The Wiseman Phantom had seen Vergil rushing at him and fired a blast of silver flame at the Kamen Rider, only for Vergil to roll out of the way and Dante’s construct to smash through the flame blast, cutting it down the centre. But the construct bounced off the shield as it no longer had enough power to cut into it. 

Vergil arrived in front of the Wiseman Phantom as he pressed the first button on the Space Yamato Katana. [ONE!] Golden magical energy glowed softly around the sword as Vergil gripped it with both gloves. [KATANA STRIKE! NOW!] He slashed across, then downwards, before ending in an upwards slash, each slash left a gash on the shield that glowed goldenly and bled sparks.

The Wiseman Phantom raised a hand and started to charge up another blast of silver flame energy.

Vergil ran to the side, but he had given up speed for more power in the Demon Style.

The Wiseman Phantom fired the blast and it engulfed Vergil sending him flying over the edge of the building with sparks coming from his body

“Vergil!” shouted Dante. He could see that his brother was stunned by the attack and would not be able to pull himself back up to the building.

“Go!” shouted Symbol. “I’ll cover you!” 

Dante nodded. “Thanks!” he ran to the edge of the build as he twisted the handle of the Arbiter Axe around. [GRAPPLE MODE!] It morphed into the Demon Pull that Dante fired forwards. It shot through the air and clamped onto Vergil’s left boot. With a grunt, Dante yanked back on the Demon Pull, causing the chain to retract and pull Vergil back onto the building.

Vergil shook his helmet. “Thanks.”

“You’re welcome,” Dante offered a glove. 

Vergil accepted and was helped back to his boots. “Let’s go and help Sunset.”

“You got it!”

Symbol saw the Wiseman Phantom looking at Dante and pressed her Wizard Driver’s right Shift Lever once. [MAGIC TOUCHIC GO!] “Leave my brothers alone!” she scanned her right glove over her Wizard Driver’s Hand Author. [BOMBARDMENT MAGIC PLEASE!] Blue magical energy gathered at the front of the Spiral Cannon before Symbol fired. Out of the Spiral Cannon roared a blue spiralling beam with a spiral of blue energy wrapped around it. The attack slammed into the Wiseman Phantom’s shield with enough force to drive the Phantom back several paces.

The Wiseman Phantom turned to Symbol and started to charge more silver fire in its hand. “Die! Daughter of Sparda!” shouted the Wiseman Phantom as it threw the fire blast at her.

“Give it a rest already!” shouted Symbol as she pressed down on her Wizard Driver’s left Shift Lever four times. [MAGICAL TOUCH GO! VERY NICE!] Then she scanned her left glove over her Wizard Driver’s Hand Author. [GIGA! S RANK SPELL! THE BEST!] Dark blue and purple magical energy build up around the Spiral Cannon. “Drill Wrap!” shouted Symbol as she fired a large beam of blue magical energy. The purple energy turned into a portal that swallowed up the beam, which then blasted out of a second portal inside the Wiseman Phantom’s shield. Sparks exploded from the Wiseman Phantom as the beam slammed into it while Symbol was sent flying back with sparks coming from her body as the silver fire blast hit her.

“SUNSET!” shouted Dante and Vergil. Despite knowing that she would be fine, they were both boiling mad at the Wiseman Phantom. 

Dante dashed in front of the Wiseman Phantom as he punched the Arbiter Ring into the Arbiter Axe’s slot again. [THREE!] The earth red dice spun around until it stopped on a trio of flame red dots. [AXE STRIKE!] Dante swung the Arbiter Axe around in an upwards diagonal swing, then he did a downwards diagonal swing before ending in an across swing. Sparks came from the three glowing red gashes that Dante had cut into the Wiseman Phantom’s shield.

The Wiseman Phantom turned to Dante and three orbs of silver flames appeared, hovering around it.

“Shit!” shouted Dante as he switched the Arbiter Ring for the Eryx Ring and punched it into his Driver’s left slot. [SET!] Dante turned his wrist back, then forwards, making his Driver’s gate close and open again. [OPEN!] The eryx magic circle appeared from Dante’s Driver and moved back through him. [E-R-Y-X!] Transforming Kamen Rider Dante into the Eryx Style.

Just as the fireballs were fired, Dante punched the Eryx Ring into the right Eryx Gauntlet’s slot. [TWO!] The flame red dice appeared and spun around, stopping on a pair of earth red dots. [FIST STRIKE!] Dante let red magical energy gathered around the Eryx Gauntlets as he slammed them into the ground. A tri pronged barrier appeared around Dante, blocking all three of the fireballs, but cracks started to spread through the barrier as the fireballs burned away at the magic.

“Need more power,” growled Dante as he pressed the trigger inside the Eryx Gauntlets again. [FIST STRIKE!] Red magical energy surged through the Eryx Gauntlets as Dante slammed them onto the ground. The barrier transformed into a dome with six prongs as the cracks were repaired. Two of the prongs had speared through each of the fireballs as they were forming, causing the orbs to detonate.

Symbol had recovered by this time and switched the Drill Ring for the Quake Ring, then pressed down on her Wizard Driver’s right Shift Lever. [MAGIC TOUCHIE HENSHIN!] Symbol scanned her right glove over her Wizard Driver’s Hand Author. [BOMBARDMENT QUAKE PLEASE!] She held her right glove down to the ground, the quake magic circle appeared and rose up through her, transforming Symbol into the Giga Bombardment Quake Style.

Then Symbol pressed her Wizard Driver’s right Shift Lever once as she took aim with the Impact Cannon. [MAGIC TOUCHIC GO!] Then Symbol scanned her right glove over her Wizard Driver’s Hand Author as blue magical energy started to gather around the tip of the Impact Cannon’s barrel. [BOMBARDMENT MAGIC PLEASE!] The pistons pulled back as Symbol fired the Impact Cannon. Out of its barrel roared a shell of blue energy that slammed into the Wiseman Phantom’s shield, making more cracks spread from the impact point.

At this point, the shield was full of cracks and barely holding together.

Vergil jumped into the air as he pressed down on the Space Yamato Katana’s second button. [TWO!] Golden magical energy surged through Vergil’s right boot as he went shooting down and slammed it into the Wiseman Phantom’s shield. [KATANA STRIKE! NOW!] There was an explosion of golden magical energy as Vergil backflipped away from the Wiseman Phantom.

At that moment, Symbol pressed her Wizard Driver’s right Shift Lever twice. [MAGIC TOUCHIC GO!] Then she scanned her right glove over her Wizard Driver’s Hand Author as orange magical energy started to spiral inwards around the barrel of the Impact Cannon. [QUAKE MAGIC PLEASE!] Then Symbol fired the Impact Cannon. A shell of orange magical energy spiralled through the air and slammed into the Wiseman Phantom’s shield, drill part way through it until it stopped. Symbol would have smirked if she was in her human form of Sunset Shimmer Sparda. The Impact Cannon’s Pistons fired, making the shell explode.

Cracking sounds echoed through the air as the Wiseman Phantom’s shield fell apart like glass.

“FINALLY!” shouted Dante as he ran forwards. He punched the Eryx Ring into the right Eryx Gauntlet’s slot. [SIX!] The flame red dice appeared and spun until it stopped on six earth red dots. [FIST STRIKE!] Red magical energy covered the right Eryx Gauntlet as Dante drew it back.

“Dante, NO!” shouted Vergil.

Dante pressed down on the left Eryx Gauntlet’s trigger. [FIST STRIKE!] Red magical energy blazed around Dante’s body as he pulled back his right fist. The energy was pulled into his right Eryx Gauntlet and formed into a construct of an Eryx Gauntlet that followed behind the right Eryx Gauntlet. “Snake Eyes!” bellowed Dante as he approached the Wiseman Phantom.

“It’s a trick!” shouted Symbol.

Dante either didn’t hear or did not care as he brought his right fist around towards the Wiseman Phantom’s face.

Only for it to unleash a large fireball from its right hand. “Pathetic,” mused the Wiseman Phantom.

The fireball sent Dante carrying back as he slammed through the wall with sparks coming from his body as the fireball pressed against him until it exploded in a ball of flame.

“DANTE!” shouted Symbol and Vergil before they turned to the Wiseman Phantom.

“YOU’LL PAY!” roared Vergil as he dashed forwards, pressing the fifth button on the Space Yamato Katana. [FIVE!] Golden magical energy flooded the Space Yamato Katana. [KATANA STRIKE! NOW!] Vergil jumped into the air and came shooting down with an overhead slash.

The Wiseman Phantom fired another ball of silver flames at Vergil.

But he had learned and scanned the Demon Ring over the back of the Space Yamato Katana. [YES! KATANA STRIKE!] Golden magical energy roared around the sword. [UNDERSTAND?!] Vergil slashed down with the Space Yamato Katana. “Drive!” he roared as a crescent of golden magical energy was fired at the fireball, cutting it down the middle. But this caused it to explode and sent Vergil flying back to the ground with sparks coming from his body. ‘Now’s your’ chance sister!’ he thought as to not give the plan away.

Symbol pressed down on her Wizard Driver’s left Shift Lever four times. [MAGICAL TOUCH GO! VERY NICE!] Then she scanned her left glove over her Wizard Driver’s Hand Author. [GIGA! S RANK SPELL! THE BEST!] Symbol fired a green shell of magical energy at the Wiseman Phantom. It was to slow and the shell slammed into its chest. “Impact Buster!” roared Symbol as the shell pulsed three times and the Wiseman Phantom was engulfed by an explosion.

“We did it!” shouted Symbol as she ran over to Vergil and pulled him to his boots.

“Yeah, we did,” replied Vergil.

Symbol could tell he would have been smiling if he were in his human form.

Suddenly, they heard something coming from the smoke cloud. As it cleared the Wiseman Phantom was revealed to still be alive with four streams of silver magical energy coming from its back.

“Are you kidding me?!” shouted Symbol.

“How is he still alive?!” shouted Vergil.

At that moment the Wiseman Phantom streaked towards them in a blur so fast that they were barely able to keep track of him. Sparks flew from their armour as the Wiseman Phantom passed them several times.

Both of them shouted in pain they fell over.

“So first it had a really strong shield,” began Symbol.

“Now its got superspeed?!” shouted Vergil.

“Thankfully, so do we,” stated Symbol.

Vergil went for the Angel Ring while Symbol reached into her pocket dimension for the Swift Ring when the Wiseman Phantom blurred forwards again. More sparks flew from their armours as they fell over once more. Only this time the sparks had microexplosions accompanying them.

Vergil struggled to his boots as tried to put himself in front of his sister as the Wiseman Phantom charged once more.

[KICK STRIKE GO!] At that moment a light blue blur crashed into the Wiseman Phantom from the side and sent it skidding backwards. The light blue blur stopped to reveal Dante in the Osiris Style. “Hey you two, get it together!” he sprinted off after the Wiseman Phantom in another blur.

“How much do you want to bet that he was just waiting for a dramatic entrance?” asked Vergil.

“Do I look stupid enough to make a bet like that?!” demanded Symbol.

“No,” replied Vergil as he switched the Demon Ring for the Angel Ring, then pressed down on his Wizard Driver’s left Shift Lever. [MAGICAL TOUCH HENSHIN!] Vergil scanned his left glove over his Wizard Driver’s Hand Author. [ANGEL!] He held his right glove up into the air as the angel magic circle appeared over his helmet. [NOW!] It dropped down through Vergil, transforming him into the Angel Style. Vergil pressed down on his Wizard Driver’s left Shift Lever once. [YES! KICK STRIKE!] Then he scanned the Angel Ring across his Wizard Driver’s Hand Author. [UNDERSTAND!?] Silver magical energy covered his body as Vergil shot off in another blur.

Symbol shrugged as she switched the Giga Ring for the Swift Ring and pressed down on her Wizard Driver’s left Shift Lever. [MAGICAL TOUCH HENSHIN!] Symbol scanned her left glove and the Swift Ring across her Wizard Driver’s Hand Author. [SWIFT PLEASE!] She held her left glove up into the air and the swift magic circle appeared. [DASH AWAY!] It fell through her, transforming Symbol into her Swift Style as she pressed her Wizard Driver’s left Shift Lever twice. [MAGICAL TOUCH GO!] Then Symbol scanned her left glove and the Swift Ring across her Wizard Driver’s Hand Author. [SWIFT! B RANK SPELL!] She was covered in yellow magical and her visors flashed as she took off in a blur, following her brothers and the Wiseman Phantom down the side the building, they were running as such speed that they had no trouble hanging on.

Suddenly, Symbol saw the Wiseman Phantom split into three. “What the-?! I thought its power as super speed in this form!”

“So did we!” shouted Dante. “It took you long enough!” 

“What are you talking about?!” demanded Symbol. “It’s been about five seconds!” 

“To you Symbol,” explained Vergil. “But we’re moving at super speed! For me, its been about ten minutes.”

“And I’ve been fighting the Wiseman Phantom for twenty minutes,” Dante paused. “I think.”

Symbol filed that information away. “I’ll take the centre one! You two can have the right and left ones,” she ordered.

“How generous!” was Dante’s sarcastic remark.

Symbol growled as she added the Arrow and Blade Rings to her right glove before pressing down on her Wizard Driver’s right Shift Lever. [MAGIC TOUCHIE HENSHIN!] Then Symbol scanned her right glove over her Wizard Driver’s Hand Author before holding it up into the air. [ARROW BLADE PLEASE!] The arrow and blade magic circles appeared over her helmet before falling through her, transforming Symbol into the Swift Arrow Blade Style. Then Symbol pressed down on her Wizard Driver’s right Shift Lever twice. [MAGIC TOUCHIE GO!] She scanned her right glove over her Wizard Driver’s Hand Author as red magical energy started to gather around the Buzz Bow. [BLADE MAGIC PLEASE!] Symbol pulled back the string and fired six red buzzsaws that flew through the air towards the Wiseman Phantom.

Only for it to deflect them as it turned around and belted Symbol across her jaw guard.

Symbol shouted in pain as sparks exploded from her jaw guard and she was sent flipping through the air. She slammed into the side of the building and bounced along the side of it twice before she was able to start running again with the Wiseman Phantom chasing after her this time.

Symbol switched the Blade Ring for the Zoomer Ring and pressed her Wizard Driver’s right Shift Lever. [MAGIC TOUCHIE HENSHIN!] Symbol scanned her right glove and the two rings over her Wizard Driver’s Hand Author. [ARROW ZOOMER PLEASE!] Then Symbol held her right glove into the air and the zoomer magic circle appeared before falling through her. Transforming Symbol into the Swift Arrow Zommer Style. She pressed her Wizard Driver’s left Shift Lever four times. [MAGICAL TOUCH GO! VERY NICE!] She scanned her left glove over her Wizard Driver’s Hand Author as yellow magical energy built up around the Speed Bow. [SWIFT! S RANK SPELL! THE BEST!] Symbol turned around and slashed the Wiseman Phantom across the waist with the Speed Bow. Sparks exploded from its body as a yellow line was cut into its waist.

As the Wiseman Phantom tumbled up the side of the building, physics were weird when you were moving at super speed, Symbol switched the Zoomer Ring for the Sniper Ring and pressed her Wizard Driver’s right Shift Lever. [MAGIC TOUCHIE HENSHIN!] Then she scanned her right glove over her Wizard Driver’s Hand Author. [ARROW SNIPER PLEASE!] Symbol held her right glove into the air and the sniper magic circle appeared over her helmet and fell through her, transforming her into the Swift Arrow Sniper Style. Then Symbol pressed down on her Wizard Driver’s left Shift Lever four times. [MAGICAL TOUCH GO! VERY NICE!] She scanned her left glove, along with the Swift Ring across her Wizard Driver’s Hand Author. [SWIFT! S RANK SPELL! THE BEST!] Symbol took aim with the Sniper Crossbow as yellow magical energy built up around the tip of it. “Arrow Buster!” Symbol fired the energy in the form of an arrow-shaped beam that smashed into the Wiseman Phantom and flung it through the side of the building, smashing it through about ten metres of concrete.

Suddenly, a silver streak struck Symbol from behind and smashed her through a fire escape ladder. She recovered and flipped up onto it, just in time to see the streak rocket past her, making sparks explode from her chestplate. “You’re not getting away with that!” Symbol switched the Rings on her right glove for the Turbo and Zoomer Rings before pressing down on her Wizard Driver’s right Shift Lever. [MAGIC TOUCHIE HENSHIN!] Then Symbol scanned her right glove along with the rings on it across her Wizard Driver’s Hand Author. [TURBO ZOOMER PLEASE!] Symbol held her right glove into the air and the two magic circles appeared before falling through her. Symbol spun around and pressed her Wizard Driver’s right Shift Lever twice. [MAGIC TOUCHIE GO!] Then she scanned her right glove over her Wizard Driver’s Hand Author. [ZOOMER MAGIC PLEASE!] Her Zoomer Grieves glowed as she shot after the Wiseman Phantom in a yellow, brown and red blur. 

The two blurs clashed about.

Symbol punched the Wiseman Phantom in the gut, sending it flying back with sparks coming from its face. Suddenly, the Wiseman Phantom closed the distance and kicked Symbol in the gut, sending her flying backwards with sparks exploding out of the impact point. Symbol jumped back to her boots and she roundhouses kicked the Wiseman Phantom, sending it shooting downwards.

“This is my chance!” Symbol switched the Zoomer Ring for the Sniper Ring and punched down on her Wizard Driver’s right Shift Lever. [MAGIC TOUCHIE HENSHIN!] Then she scanned her right glove over her Wizard Driver’s Hand Author. [TURBO SNIPER PLEASE!] Symbol held her right glove into the air and the sniper magic circle appear, it fell through her, transforming Symbol into the Swift Turbo Sniper Style. As the Wiseman Phantom recovered and started zooming back up towards her, Symbol pressed her Wizard Driver’s left Shift Lever four times. [MAGICAL TOUCH GO! VERY NICE!] Then she scanned her left glove over her Wizard Driver’s Hand Author. [SWIFT! S RANK SPELL! THE BEST!] Symbol took aim as the turbines on the Turbine Shooter started to spin, letting yellow magical energy into the barrel. “Spiralling Bullets!” Symbol fired fire bullets that spiralled around each other and slammed into the Wiseman Phantom, sending it shooting back down the building with the bullets continuing to spin, grinding sparks out of the Phantom.

Then Symbol switched the Sniper Ring for the Blade Ring and pressed down on her Wizard Driver’s right Shift lever. [MAGIC TOUCHIE HENSHIN!] Symbol scanned her right glove and the two rings on it over her Wizard Driver’s Hand Author. [TURBO BLADE PLEASE!] Symbol held her right glove into the air, the blade magic circle appeared and fell through her, transforming Symbol into the Swift Turbo Blade Style. She rocketed down the side of the building towards the Wiseman Phantom as she pressed down on her Wizard Driver’s left Shift Lever four times. [MAGICAL TOUCH GO! VERY NICE!] Yellow magical energy gathered around her right fist as the right Turbo Shooter ignited. [SWIFT! S RANK SPELL! THE BEST!] A yellow buzzsaws construct surrounded Symbol’s right fist as she drove into the Wiseman Phantom’s chest. “Turbo Boost!” shouted Symbol as sparks came from the Wiseman Phantom and micro explosions went off around it.

Suddenly, the Wiseman Phantom threw Symbol’s fist off and then threw her off the side of the building, into the void where she had nothing to run on. 

“No you don’t!” shouted Symbol as she switched the Turbo and Blade Rings for the Wing along with the Sniper Ring, before pressing down on her Wizard Driver’s right Shift Lever. [MAGIC TOUCHIE HENSHIN!] Then she scanned her right glove over her Wizard Driver’s Hand Author. [WING SNIPER PLEASE!] The two magic circles appeared over Symbol’s helmet and fell through her. The second the Flight Wings appeared, Symbol gave them a hard flap to hover in the air. Then Symbol pressed down on her Wizard Driver’s left Shift Lever four times. [MAGICAL TOUCH GO! VERY NICE!] She scanned her left glove over her Wizard Driver’s Hand Author as her wings went stiff and started to leak yellow magical energy. [SWIFT! S RANK SPELL! THE BEST!] The energy was pulled into the Sniper Shooter as Symbol took aim at the Wiseman Phantom. “Sniper Sun!” she roared as the Sniper Shooter discharged a beam of yellow magical energy in the shape of thousands of feather constructs. It roared through the air towards the Wiseman Phantom.

Only for the Wiseman Phantom to dodge to the side, avoiding the beam and running through the air at Symbol.

“I should have seen that coming,” muttered Symbol as she switched the Sniper Ring for the Blade Ring and pressed down on her Wizard Driver’s Hand Author. [MAGIC TOUCHIE HENSHIN!] Symbol dropped through the air, avoiding a punch from the Wiseman Phantom as she scanned her right glove over her Wizard Driver’s Hand Author. [WING BLADE PLEASE!] Symbol angled herself down as the blade magic circle appeared under her helmet and passed through her, transforming Symbol into the Swift Wing Blade Style. 

Seeing the Wiseman Phantom closing the distance, Symbol pressed down on her Wizard Driver’s left Shift Lever four times. [MAGICAL TOUCH GO! VERY NICE!] The Wiseman Phantom was ten metres and closing, Symbol scanned her left glove over her Wizard Driver’s Hand Author. [SWIFT! S RANK SPELL! THE BEST!] Yellow magical energy surged around all six of the Cutter Wings as Symbol curled them around herself. “Wing Cutter!” shouted Symbol as she uncurled the Cutting Wings and fired six crescent of yellow magical energy at the Wiseman Phantom. It was to close to dodge and six glowing yellow lines were cutting into it by the six crescents. Sparks bleed from the six yellow lines.

“Die! Die! DIE!” roared the Wiseman Phantom as he was covered in silver magical energy and started attacking Symbol at blinding speeds.

“I was about to say the same to you,” Symbol switched the Blade Ring for the Zoomer Ring and then pressed down on her Wizard Driver’s right Shift Lever. [MAGIC TOUCHIE HENSHIN!] Symbol scanned her right glove over her Wizard Driver’s Hand Author as sparks came from her right shoulder guard. [WING ZOOMER PLEASE!] Symbol was just able to duck under a punch, the Wiseman Phantom was knocked back by the zoomer magic circle as it appeared in the air and fell through Symbol. Transforming her into the Swift Wing Zoomer Style.

Symbol rocketed away, vanishing in a blur. The Wiseman Phantom shot after her as she went around the corner of a building. [MAGICAL TOUCH GO! VERY NICE!] The Wiseman Phantom turned the corner of the building just in time to see yellow magical energy build up in the Speed Wings. [SWIFT! S RANK SPELL! THE BEST!] Then she let loose, firing a beam of yellow magical energy from each of the Speed Wings. “High Speed!” bellowed Symbol as the beams smashed into the Wiseman Phantom and sent it shooting back onto the roof of the main building with sparks coming from its body.

Just in time to smash into the other two Wiseman Phantoms that Dante and Vergil had sent flying. In a blast of silver light, the three Wiseman Phantom fused back into the single Wiseman Phantom.

“You two doing ok?” asked Symbol as her brothers arrived.

“I’m fine,” replied Dante although he was panting a bit.

“I am ok,” added Vergil.

“You?” asked Dante.

“I should be ok,” replied Symbol. “I’ll end it, just get that thing in front of me!” she pressed down on her Wizard Driver’s left Shift Lever four times. [MAGICAL TOUCH GO! VERY NICE!] Dante and Vergil took off in silver and light blue blurs, as they clashed with the Wiseman Phantom Symbol scanned her left glove over her Wizard Driver’s Hand Author. [SWIFT! S RANK SPELL! THE BEST!] Yellow magical energy started to build between her palms.

Dante looked at Vergil.

Vergil nodded.

They both sprinted off, becoming blurs of blue and silver.

Dante jumped into the air as he punched the Osiris Ring into the Osiris Scythe’s slot. [THREE!] The light blue dice appeared and spun around, stopping on a trio of wind blue dots. [SCYTHE STRIKE!] Dante slashed down with the Osiris Scythe, using it as a hook that the Wiseman Phantom sidestepped.

Right into Vergil’s path.

Vergil pressed the third button on the Space Katana. [THREE!] Silver magical energy covered Vergil’s sword as he spun around and jumped into the air. [KATANA STRIKE! NOW!] The tips of the swords formed a circle of silver magical energy that pulled the Wiseman Phantom up into the air.

Seeing what Vergil had done, Dante punched the Osiris Ring into the Osiris Scythe’s slot again. [ONE!] The dice appeared and spun, stopping on a single wind blue dot. [SCYTHE STRIKE!] Dante spun around, using the Osiris Scythe as a hook to throw the Wiseman Phantom, sending him shooting down to the ground.

Right in front of Symbol.

She threw her cupped gloves forwards and the Wiseman Phantom was smashed into a giant beam of yellow magical energy. Its silhouette could be seen within the beam with yellow lightning crackling over it before the Phantom was consumed by an explosion.

“Do you think it’s over?” asked Dante as he landed to the left.

“No,” deadpanned Vergil as the smoke started to clear.

The Wiseman Phantom had lost its jets but now had a silver spike coming out of each shoulder that both of which leaking silver magical energy.

Before any of the three Kamen Riders had a chance to react, they were picked up in silver magical energy and thrown away from each other.

“GUY’S!” shouted Symbol as she flipped through the air and managed to land on her boots but skidded back several feet. She saw Vergil landing on a building to her right and Dante impacting the roof of a building to her left. ‘He was never the most graceful one,’ thought Symbol as she glared at the Wiseman Phantom that had landed on the building in front of her.

Symbol drew the Swift Blaster and pulled open its Hand Author. [COME ON A BLAST SHAKE HANDS!] She scanned her left glove over the Swift Blaster’s Hand Author as yellow magical energy started to gather in front of its barrel. [SWIFT! BLASTER STRIKE!] Symbol took aim as the energy formed into a sphere. “Bullet Barrage!” the sphere discharged a stream of yellow magical energy bullets at the Wiseman Phantom.

Only for him to conjure a shield of silver magical energy to block it before the shield transformed into a pillar thick beam of silver magical energy that roared towards Symbol at high speeds.

“Yikes!” Symbol pressed down on her Wizard Driver’s left Shift Lever twice. [MAGICAL TOUCH GO!] Then she scanned her left glove over her Wizard Driver’s Hand Author as the beam passed the roof boundary of the building that she was on. [SWIFT! B RANK SPELL!] Symbol glowed with yellow magical energy as her visors flashed and she vanished in a blur of speed. Symbol appeared off to the side as the beam roared past her.

“Ok, so range combat is a no go. We’d better get closers!” muttered Symbol as she ran towards the roof’s ledge.

Suddenly the buildings moved further apart and Symbol could feel the gravity beyond the edge of the building increase. 

“Looks like I’ll have to go for ranged combat after all!” snarled Symbol as she switched the Swift Ring for the Burst Ring then pressed down on her Wizard Driver’s left Shift Lever. [MAGICAL TOUCH HENSHIN!] Symbol scanned her left glove across her Wizard Driver’s Hand Author. [BURST PLEASE!] She held her left glove out to the side and the burst magic circle appeared behind her. [CAST THE SPELL!] The magic circle moved through Symbol, transforming her into the Burst Style.

Then Symbol pressed down on her Wizard Driver’s left Shift Lever once. [MAGICAL TOUCH GO!] Then she scanned her left glove over her Wizard Driver’s Hand Author [BURST! C RANK SPELL!] Four sparks appeared in the air around Symbol before they turned into balls of flame. Symbol pressed down on her Wizard Driver’s left Shift Lever four more times. [MAGICAL TOUCH GO! VERY NICE!] After that she scanned her left glove over her Wizard Driver’s Hand Author. [BURST! S RANK SPELL! THE BEST!] The fireballs turned from orange to white hot as Symbol fed mana into them. “Fire Swarm!” yelled Symbol as the fireballs shot towards the Wiseman Phantom.

Only for the Wiseman Phantom to conjure four fireballs of silver magical energy while a fifth fireball blocked a pair of Aquila Stars. The two sets of fireballs crashed into each other making sparks and microexplosions echo through the air as the spiralled higher and higher until, after the fifth clash, the Wiseman Phantom’s fireballs overpowered Symbol’s.

“WHAT?!” shouted Symbol in shock as the fireballs shot down towards her. She added the Dust and Mirror Rings to her right glove as she pressed down on her Wizard Driver’s right Shift Lever. [MAGIC TOUCHIE HENSHIN!] Symbol scanned her right glove over her Wizard Driver’s Hand Author then held that limb out to the side. [DUST MIRROR PLEASE!] The two magic circles appeared behind Symbol and moved through her, transforming her into the Burst Dust Mirror Style.

Symbol pressed down on her Wizard Driver’s right Shift Lever twice. [MAGIC TOUCHIE GO!] Then she scanned her right glove over her Wizard Driver’s Hand Author as the fireballs rocketed towards her. [MIRROR MAGIC PLEASE!] Several small mirrors appear in the air, forming a wall of mirrors in front of Symbol. Only for the fireballs to smash through it. They slammed into Symbol and exploded, setting her on fire and sending her flying backwards. She carved a trench into the roof before realising a pulse of magic from her body that put out the flames.

Symbol got back up, just in time to see Vergil fire a barrage of summoned swords into the Wiseman Phantom’s back, making sparks come from the Phantom. Which replied by firing three rotating beams of silver fire that slammed into Vergil, blasting through his defence and forcing him to take cover over the side of the building.

With a growl, Symbol pressed down on her Wizard Driver’s left Shift Lever four times. [MAGICAL TOUCH GO! VERY NICE!] The Wiseman Phantom threw a ball of silver fire that transformed into a ring, wrapping around Dante and binding his arms to his sides as Symbol scanned his left glove over her Wizard Driver’s Hand Author. [BURST! S RANK SPELL! THE BEST!] Symbol let the roof around her boots transform into sand that surged down the side of the building in a tidal wave and quickly zoomed up the side of the building that the Wiseman Phantom was standing on.

The Wiseman Phantom looked around as the sand closed in on him. “Pathetic,” he released a pulse of silver flame that surged outwards. The sand was turned to crystal clear glass before the flames could even touch it and the glass shattered when the ring made contact with it.

Symbol felt sparks explode from her chestplate as the ring slammed into her. She got back to her boots just in time to see the Wiseman Phantom block a summon sword from Vergil and a spinning axe-head construct from Dante with a shield of silver flames.

“I’m not giving up,” muttered Symbol as she switched the Mirror Ring for the Glass Ring and pressed her Wizard Driver’s right Shift Lever. [MAGIC TOUCHIE HENSHIN!] Then Symbol scanned her right glove over her Wizard Driver’s Hand Author as the two constructs continued to grind away at the Wiseman Phantom’s shield. [SAND GLASS PLEASE!] She held her right glove out to the side as the Wiseman Phantom got tired and made his shield explode, dispelling the constructs. The glass magic circle appeared behind Symbol and moved through her, transforming her into the Burst Sand Glass Style.

Then Symbol pressed down on her Wizard Driver’s left Shift Lever four times. [MAGICAL TOUCH GO! VERY NICE!] She scanned her left glove over her Wizard Driver’s Hand Author as sand started to get pulled in from the air. [BURST! S RANK SPELL! THE BEST!] Then she fired the sand forwards. “Sand Storm!” it transformed into a massive storm of sand that smashed into the Wiseman Phantom. Making sparks bleed from its body as it had no time to put up another shield.

Then the Wiseman Phantom made the mistake of releasing a pulse of silver fire from its body. This had the effect of igniting the sand and causing a dust explosion that made more sparks explode from the Wiseman Phantom’s body. When the smoke cleared, he was glaring at Symbol so hotly that it was lucky she was not set on fire!

“I think I’ve got him mad,” Symbol muttered nervously.

“YOU THINK?!” shouted Dante across the gap.

The Wiseman Phantom summoned three silver magic circles in front of him and one on either side. Suddenly, all five of the magic circles fired a beam of silver fire with no warning. Symbol was trapped between the three beams while the other two beams prevent Dante or Vergil from interfering.

Symbol looked around in panic as the beams started to close in on her. She switched the Sand and Glass Rings for the Steam Ring along with the Radiation Ring before pressing down on her Wizard Driver’s right Shift Lever. [MAGIC TOUCHIE HENSHIN!] Then Symbol scanned her right glove over her Wizard Driver’s Hand Author. [STEAM RADIATION PLEASE!] She held her right glove out to the side, the two magic circles appeared behind her and moved through Symbol, forcing the beams back and buying her a few more seconds.

As the beams started to close back in around Symbol, she pressed down on her Wizard Driver’s left Shift Lever four times. [MAGICAL TOUCH GO! VERY NICE!] Symbol scanned her left glove over her Wizard Driver’s Hand Author as purple magical energy started to form around her. [BURST! S RANK SPELL! THE BEST!] Suddenly the purple magical energy transformed into a ring that forced the beams back as it expanded. “Radiation Burst!” shouted Symbol as sparks flew from the contact points where the ring and the fire beams met. Suddenly, there was a cracking sound as cracks spread through the ring. “Oh no,” groaned Symbol as the ring shattered. Sparks came from her body as she was burned, cut and crushed between the beams before an explosion sent her flying.

“SUNSET!” Symbol’s siblings shouting her name snapped her back to consciousness. She threw out a glove and grabbed the edge of the building, pulling herself back up.

Symbol laid on her stomach for a second. That proved to be a mistake. She looked up as the Wiseman Phantom fired a rain of silver fireballs into the air that arched up and then came shooting back down. “This is gonna hurt!” muttered Symbol as the fireballs impacted. She shouted in pain as sparks exploded from her body. The barrage seemed endless and after what felt like an hour, but was less than a minute, the attack finally ended. 

Symbol got back to her boots as she saw the Wiseman Phantom fire another rain of fireballs. “Oh, no you don’t!” shouted Symbol as she switched the Radiation Ring for the Mirror Ring, then pressed down on her Wizard Driver’s right Shift Lever. [MAGIC TOUCHIE HENSHIN!] Symbol aligned her right glove with her Wizard Driver’s Hand Author. [STEAM MIRROR PLEASE!] She held her right glove out to the side and the mirror magic circle appeared behind her. It moved through her, transforming Symbol into the Burst Steam Mirror Style.

Then, as the fireballs came screaming down, Symbol pressed down on her Wizard Driver’s left Shift Lever four times. [MAGICAL TOUCH GO! VERY NICE!] Then she scanned her left glove over her Wizard Driver’s Hand Author. [BURST! S RANK SPELL! THE BEST!] Symbol threw up her right glove. “Mirror Reflection!” a mirror appeared in front of her and five of the ten fireballs were sent shooting back the way they came the second they made contact with the mirror. This caused the other five fireballs to swell up and explode.

But before Symbol could celebrate, the Wiseman Phantom flicked its wrist and the fire merged into a single giant fireball that blazed with much more heat than the last ten fireballs had combined. The Wiseman Phantom pointed at Symbol and the ball of flames went shooting down towards her.

“YOU HAVE GOT TO BE KIDDING ME!” shouted Symbol as the fireball exploded and sent her flying backwards. She was able to stop herself and looked up, just in time to see several of Kablooey’s needles positioned around the Wiseman Phantom explode before six summoned swords slammed into him from the left side. 

Symbol switched the Mirror Ring for the Glass Ring and struck her Wizard Driver’s right Shift Lever. [MAGIC TOUCHIE HENSHIN!] Then she scanned her right glove over her Wizard Driver’s Hand Author. [STEAM GLASS PLEASE!] Symbol held her right glove out to the side, the glass magic circle appeared behind her and moved through her. Transforming Symbol into the Burst Steam Glass Style.

Symbol pressed down on her Wizard Driver’s left Shift Lever four times as the Wiseman Phantom blocked another swarm of summoned swords with a large fireball. [MAGICAL TOUCH GO! VERY NICE!] Then Symbol scanned her left glove across her Wizard Driver’s Hand Author as the summoned swords finally punched through the Wiseman Phantom’s makeshift barrier. [BURST! S RANK SPELL! THE BEST!] The Wiseman Phant jumped to the side. “Glass Spikes!” only to jump in shock as he stepped on several spikes of glass that were heated up by the boiling steam inside them.

This stopped the Wiseman Phantom from avoiding a beam of red energy, the front of which was shaped like a spinning axe head, to the face.

“Alright, we’re making some headway,” cheered Symbol before she realised what she had just said.

“DON’T SAY THAT!” roared Vergil.

“And you complain that I keep invoking Murphy?!” demanded Dante.

“Sorry!” shouted Symbol as she switched the Steam and Glass Rings for the Sand and Radiation Rings before pressing down on her Wizard Driver’s right Shift Lever. [MAGIC TOUCHIE HENSHIN!] Then Symbol scanned her right glove over her Wizard Driver’s Hand Author as the Wiseman Phantom created a large ball of silver fire over its head. [SAND RADIATION PLEASE!] Then she held her right glove out to the side and the two magic circles appeared behind her before moving through Symbol. Transforming her into the Burst Sand Radiation Style.

The Wiseman Phantom hurled a giant ball of flame at Symbol. It was bigger than the building that she was on and moved very slowly due to its large mass.

Symbol pressed down on her Wizard Driver’s left Shift Lever four times and then scanned her left glove over her Wizard Driver’s Hand Author. [MAGICAL TOUCH GO! VERY NICE!] Then she scanned her left glove over her Wizard Driver’s Hand Author as steam started to leak from her body. [BURST! S RANK SPELL! THE BEST!] Symbol ran forwards as he body lost its material form and transformed into sand that was blazing hot. “Sand Rush!” screamed Symbol as she clashed with the fireball. Symbol was quickly before forced back before she turned her boots back to and rammed them into the roof for more traction. She started to push the fireball back and was slowly overpowering it.

Then the Wiseman Phantom channelled more magical energy into the fireball, making it grow in power and heat.

Sparks exploded from Symbol’s body as she was overpowered and forced back into her solid form. 

The fireball would have consumed the building that she was on if Dante had Vergil had not fired at the Wiseman Phantom from either side. Dante was using Ebony and Ivory, while Vergil made use of the Judgment Cut to do a lot of damage to the Wiseman Phantom, making sparks explode from its body.

With a growl, Symbol switched the Rings on her right glove for the Dust and Radiation Rings before pressing down on her Wizard Driver’s right Shift Lever. [MAGIC TOUCHIE HENSHIN!] Then Symbol scanned her right glove over her Wizard Driver’s Hand Author. [DUST RADIATION PLEASE!] Symbol held her right glove out to the side and the two magic circles appeared before passing through her. Transforming Symbol into her Burst Dust Radiation Style.

Then Symbol pressed down on her Wizard Driver’s left Shift Lever four times as the Wiseman Phantom summoned another giant fireball that he hurled at Dante. [MAGICAL TOUCH GO! VERY NICE!] Then she scanned her left glove over her Wizard Driver’s Hand Author as her right arm started to glow purple. [BURST! S RANK SPELL! THE BEST!] Symbol swept her left glove to the side, summoning around thirty small orbs of purple magical energy. “Radiation Burst!” shouted Symbol as the sphere’s shot forwards, slamming into the Wiseman Phantom, which had been in the process of throwing another fireball at Vergil, making sparks come from its body.

“YES! It's about time I did some damage to this thing!” cheered Symbol.

Then five orbs of silver flames appeared in a circle around Symbol.

“I shouldn’t have gloated like that,” muttered Symbol before shouting in pain as the fireballs shot inwards and then exploded. When the smoke cleared, Symbol could be seen on her backplate with her legs up in the air, twitching.

“Alright,” she flipped back to her boots. “Since playing by this thing’s game is getting us nowhere, it’s time to change the rules!” Symbol switched the Burst Ring for the Active Ring and pressed down on her Wizard Driver’s left Shift lever. [MAGICAL TOUCH HENSHIN!] Then she scanned her left glove across her Wizard Driver’s Hand Author as another ring of five silver fireballs appeared around her. [ACTIVE PLEASE!] She held her left glove out to the side as the active magic circle appeared and moved through her. [LET’S GO!] The fireballs were forced back as Symbol transformed into the Active Style.

Symbol drew the Active Blade and swung in a circle, cutting all of the fireballs in half and forcing them to explode away from her. Then she added a pair of Rings to her right glove before striking her Wizard Driver’s right Shift Lever. [MAGIC TOUCHIE HENSHIN!] She scanned her right glove over her Wizard Driver’s Hand Author. [BOOST AQUA PLEASE!] Then Symbol held her right glove out to the side, the two magic circle appeared and moved through her. Transforming Symbol into the Active Boost Aqua Style.

Then Symbol pressed down on her Wizard Driver’s right Shift Lever twice. [MAGIC TOUCHIE GO!] Then she scanned her right glove over her Wizard Driver’s Hand Author. [BOOST MAGIC PLEASE!] The Aqua Jets fired blasts of water that shot her up into the air, she flew over the gap with ease before the Slip Dimension had a chance to increase the gravity. 

“How did you-?!” the Wiseman Phantom fired a ball of silver fire at Symbol.

She dodged it with ease as she pulled on the Active Blade’s thumb, opening its Hand Author. [COME ON A SLASH SHAKE HANDS!] Symbol scanned her left glove over the Active Blade’s Hand Author. [ACTIVE! SLASH STRIKE!] Red lightning surged through the Active Blade as Symbol dashed forwards and slashed the Phantom across waist. “Red Slash!” bellowed Symbol as lightning sparked around the Wiseman Phantom before it fell over and exploded.

With the Wiseman Phantom’s control over the Slip Dimension destroyed, the buildings moved back together. Dante and Vergil quickly made it over to their sister.

“Nice one sis!” cheered Dante.

“How did you know that would work?” Vergil had to ask.

Symbol panted for a second. 

“Are you ok?” asked Dante.

“I’m fine, all of those S class spells are getting to me a bit,” replied Symbol.

Vergil ran a quick scan of his sister. “‘Getting to you a bit’?! Sunset, your running on empty!”

“Good to know,” all of the siblings froze at the voice.

They turned to see the Wiseman Phantom finish recovering, only now he had a silver and purple magical aura surrounding him.

“You can do that too?!” demanded Dante as he switched the Arbiter Ring for the Trigger Ring in its Demon Style.

“Of course, if a Phantom like the Rage, the Butcher and the Tyrant can gain this power-up, then why should their Lord and Master not be able to,” replied the Wiseman Phantom.

“Sunset, stay out of this one,” ordered Vergil as he slid the Gravity Ring onto his right middle finger. 

“But-” Symbol started to protest.

Vergil glanced at her.

Symbol shut up as she understood Vergil’s plan.

Dante punched the Devil Trigger Ring into his Driver’s left slot. [TRIGGER!] He turned his wrist back, then forwards, making his Driver’s gate close and open. [DEVIL GO!] The devil magic circle appeared from Dante’s Driver and moved back through him. [DE-DE-DE-DEVIL!] Transforming Dante into the Devil Trigger Style.

Vergil pressed down on his Wizard Driver’s right Shift Lever then he scanned the Gravity Ring across it. [GRAVITY TRIGGER!] Vergil held his right glove out to the side and the Gravity Ring appeared before moving through him. [NOW!] Transforming Vergil into the Gravity Nephilim Style.

The Wiseman Phantom gave a roar of rage as he covered his arms in silver fire and lunged forwards towards Dante.

Dante punched the Devil Trigger Ring into the back of the Rebellion Magnum in its Eryx Mode. [ONE! DEVIL!] A holographic flame red one with earth red outlines appeared next to the Rebellion Magnum’s skull. [MAGNUM STRIKE!] Dante pointed it at the ground and fired a blast into it. The blast transformed into a bubble of red magical energy around Dante with spikes lining it.

The Wiseman Phantom smashed his left fist into the barrier, making cracks spread through it and sparks come from his fist as he had just punched one of the spikes. “Ow!” shouted the Wiseman Phantom in pain as he pulled back his other fist. The silver fire flared over the fist coating it in a much thicker protective layer.

Vergil saw that his brother was in trouble and pressed down on the Space Gravity Sheath’s third button. [THREE!] Vergil crouched, then explosive dashed forwards, getting within the Wiseman Phantom’s guard as golden, blood red and light blue magical energy coated the Yamato Gravity Katana. [GRAVITY KATANA STRIKE! NOW!] At lightning speeds, Vergil drew the Yamato Gravity Katana from the Space Gravity 	Sheath and slashed upwards. The Wiseman Phantom was unable to block and sparks flew from the golden vertical cut in its body as it was sent flying into the air. “I’ve set him up!” shouted Vergil to Dante.

“Thanks!” yelled Dante as he punched the Devil Trigger Ring into the back of the Rebellion Magnum again. [TWO! DEVIL!] The holographic one transformed into a holographic two. [MAGNUM STRIKE!] Dante aimed the Rebellion Magnum at the Wiseman Phantom and pulled the trigger. The gun thundered as it fired three bursts of red magical energy that slammed into the Wiseman Phantom and made sparks bleed from his body.

Vergil switched the Gravity Ring for the Thunder Ring and pressed down on his Wizard Driver’s right Shift Lever before scanning his right glove over his Wizard Driver’s Hand Author. [THUNDER TRIGGER!] Vergil held his right glove out in front of himself and the thunder trigger magic circles appeared. [NOW!] Then it moved back through him, transforming Vergil into the Thunder Trigger Nephilim Style with his Doppelganger appearing next to him.

“Your turn Dante!” shouted Vergil as he and his Doppelganger raced towards the Wiseman Phantom.

“I’m on it!” replied Dante as he punched the Devil Trigger Ring into the back of the Rebellion Magnum again. [THREE! DEVIL!] The holographic one transformed into a holographic three. [MAGNUM STRIKE!] Dante pointed the Rebellion Magnum forwards and pulled the trigger, firing a beam of red energy. The beam shot through the air and just as it reached the Wiseman Phantom it arched upwards towards the Phantom’s chin.

The Wiseman Phantom covered both of his hands in silver fire and crossed them under his chin, blocking the beam. Sparks came from his hands as the beam tried to throw him into the air.

“Not going to be that easy!” shouted Dante as he held down on the trigger of the Rebellion Magnum. [DEVIL!] Ten rings of red magical energy were pulled into the Rebellion Magnum as it surged in power before Dante let go of the trigger. [MAGNUM STRIKE!] The energy surged down the beam, making it turned from the thickness of an arm to the thickness of a pillar. “Uppercut!” shouted Dante as the size growth reached the Wiseman Phantom.

The Wiseman Phantom’s guard was broken and the Phantom was thrown up into the air with sparks coming from his body. 

Vergil and his Doppelganger both jumped into the air as they pressed the fifth button on the Thunder Space Sheaths. [FOUR!] Thunder green, blood red and light blue magical energy surged into the Thunder Space Sheath before being pulled into the Thunder Yamato Katana that was inside the Thunder Space Sheath. [THUNDER KATANA STRIKE! NOW!] Vergil drew the Thunder Yamato Katana, as did his Doppelganger. Both of them unleashed a barrage of slashes at Wiseman Phantom.

But to the utter shock, of Vergil, his Doppelganger and Dante, the Wiseman Phantom’s arms blurred as he blocked most of the slashes with only one in every eight slashes actually getting past his guard and drawing sparks. Then the Wiseman Phantom slammed his fists into both Vergil and his Doppelganger chest plates. Sparks exploded as they were both sent smashing back into the roof.

“VERGIL!” Dante glared at the Wiseman Phantom as he punched the Devil Trigger Ring into the back of the Rebellion Magnum. [FIVE! DEVIL!] The holographic three transformed into a holographic five. [MAGNUM STRIKE!] Dante pointed the Rebellion Magnum up into the air and fired fire orbs of red magical energy. They shot into the air and then arched back down, slamming into the Wiseman Phantom.

Or at least they would have if the Wiseman Phantom had not created a shield of fire. Then he covered himself in silver flames with purple flames mixed in before charging at Dante as a flaming bullet.

“Shit!” Dante turned the Rebellion Magnum’s cylinder, transforming it into its Arbiter Mode. Then he punched the Devil Trigger Ring into the back of the Rebellion Magnum. [THREE! DEVIL!] The five transformed into an earth-red holographic three with flame red outlines. [MAGNUM STRIKE!] Dante pointed the Rebellion Magnum down to the ground and pulled the trigger. A bullet of red magical energy was fired into the ground. It transformed into a line of red energy that the Wiseman Phantom broke through with ease.

“Double shit!” shouted Dante as he held down on the Rebellion Magnum’s trigger. [DEVIL!] Ten rings of red magical energy were pulled into the Rebellion Magnum. [MAGNUM STRIKE!] Dante aimed it down at the ground and fired once more. “Tremor!” this created a second line of red magical energy. 

The Wiseman Phantom was slowed down by this but was still able to get through and slam a blazing fist into Dante’s gut. Sparks exploded from the impact point as Dante was sent flying backwards, slamming into a wall.

“DANTE!” the Wiseman Phantom looked up to see Vergil and his Doppelganger in the air. Vergil pressed down on the Thunder Space Sheath’s fifth button. [FIVE!] Thunder green, blood red and light blue magical energy were focused into the Thunder Space Sheath before being drawn into the Thunder Yamato Katana. [THUNDER KATANA STRIKE! NOW!] Both Vergil and his Doppelganger drew their weapons and slashed downwards, using the momentum of their Thunder Yamato Katana’s to pull themselves down to the ground.

The Wiseman Phantom summoned a shield of silver and purple flames that the two Thunder Yamato Katana cut straight through. Sparks exploded from the Wiseman Phantom’s body as two green, red and blue lines were cut through the centre of it.

Suddenly, the Wiseman Phantom released a blast of silver flame and purple aura from its body that sent both Vergil and his Doppelganger flying backwards. The Wiseman Phantom generated a ball of silver flame and purple aura in both of his hands before thrusting them at both Vergil and his Doppelganger.

Dante saw Vergil get sent flying and punched the Devil Trigger Ring into the back of the Rebellion Magnum again. [SIX! DEVIL!] The three transformed into a holographic six.  [MAGNUM STRIKE!] Instead of firing, Dante held down on the Rebellion Magnum’s trigger. [DEVIL!] Ten rings of red magical energy were pulled into the barrel of the Rebellion Magnum before Dante let go of the trigger. [MAGNUM STRIKE!] Out of the Rebellion magnum came a large ball of red magical energy with shards of red earth mixed into it. “Cannon Blast!” shouted Dante as the attack slammed into the Wiseman Phantom and exploded.

The Wiseman Phantom spun around and fired several bolts of silver flame and purple aura at Dante. They slammed into him before he had a chance to react and sparks flew from the impact points as Dante staggered backwards. 

Vergil saw this and pressed down on the Thunder Space Sheath’s sixth button. [SIX!] Thunder green, blood red and light blue magical energy were pulled into the Thunder Space Sheath, before being drawn into the Thunder Yamato Katana. [THUNDER KATANA STRIKE! NOW!] Vergil drew the Thunder Yamato Katana and space twisted around him as he rocketed forwards alongside his Doppelganger. Both of them zoomed past the Wiseman Phantom before he had a chance to react and clicked their Thunder Yamato Katana’s back into their Thunder Space Sheath’s. The Wiseman Phantom was covered in a sphere of green, red and light blue magical energy. Suddenly, a barrage of sword slashes erupted around the Wiseman Phantom covering him in sparks and cuts.

Dante had recovered at this time and punched the Devil Trigger Ring into the back of the Rebellion Magnum again. [FIVE! DEVIL!] The holographic six transformed into a holographic five as Dante jumped into the air. [MAGNUM STRIKE!] Then Dante punched the Devil Trigger Ring into his Driver’s left slot and turned his wrist forwards. [GO! DEVIL!] Red magical energy surged around Dante as he forced it into his right boot. [KICK STRIKE!] He came shooting down with a dropkick. “Drop!” Dante’s boot slammed into the Wiseman Phantom and sent it flying downwards, slamming through the roof of the building.

“Do you think that did it?” asked Dante.

“No,” Vergil replied.

Dante noticed something in Vergil’s voice. “Is something wrong?” he asked his brother.

“No, it's just,” Vergil paused.

“Just what?” asked Dante.

“I’ve had a bad feeling throughout this fight,” replied Vergil at last.

“Then I’m not the only one,” stated Dante.

Vergil looked at his brother in alarm. “You too?!” 

“Yeah,” replied Dante.

At that moment the roof started to shake, seconds later the Wiseman Phantom burst out of it with his body covered in silver fire and purple aura. “I AM WISEMAN! I CANNOT BE DEFEATED!” shouted the Phantom in sheer anger that he was being pushed this far by three children.

Dante would have had a giant smirk on his face if he were in his human form. 

Vergil would have had a cold calculating smirk on his face if he were in his human form.

“SUNSET, NOW!” shouted Dante and Vergil at the same.

[TOUCH TO CAST THE NEXT LEVEL! VERY NICE!] The Wiseman Phantom turned around. [ADVANCE S TIER SPELL! THE BEST!] Just in time for the heel of Symbol’s boot to slam into his face. Symbol was spinning through the air and repeated the kicking move several more times with her boots glowing in yellow magical energy. “Advance Impact!” shouted Symbol as the Wiseman Phantom was sent flying over the edge of the building and fell down through the void with yellow lightning sparking over his body.

“NO! NO! THIS IS NOT THE END!” screamed the Wiseman Phantom as microexplosions went off around his body before he was consumed by an explosion.

[MAGICAL TOUCH HENSHIN!] [ACTIVE PLEASE!] [LET’S GO!] “That was a good plan you two,” commented Symbol as she transformed back into the Active Style.

“Yeah, but somehow, I don’t think it’s over,” stated Dante.

“I agree,” replied Dante.

“Am I missing something?” asked Symbol.

The Wiseman Phantom had impacted the same car that he had earlier. Suddenly, space around the car was distorted as if a black hole was forming. The point in space where gravity had increased started to pull anything in range inwards. Including a few poor, stupid people who had stuck around to see the three armoured figures fighting a monster.

“What’s going on Vergil?!” shouted Dante as they watch the debris forming into a human shape.

“I was afraid of this,” muttered Vergil.

“Afraid of what?!” demanded Dante.

“Whenever you transform into the upgraded form, does it feel incomplete to you?” asked Vergil.

“Yeah? How did you-?!” demanded Symbol.

“Wait! You too?!” demanded Dante.

“Yes,” replied Vergil. “Whenever a Phantom or a Gem Maiden gets badly hurt they can tap into one last burst of energy that increases their attack power, speed, or defence.”

“Like what we can do?” asked Symbol.

“Yes, but as Kamen Riders, we can tap into that power whenever we want,” replied Vergil. “We do not have to be half dead to access the upgraded forms.”

“Ok, but what does that have to do with THIS?!” demanded Symbol as she pointed at the humanoid figure starting to form. It was already half as big as the skyscraper they were on!

“I’ve always thought that there was something more, something beyond the upgraded form. But when my research yielded no proof, I was forced to give up and accept that it was just me wanting more power,” explained Vergil.

“And this disproves it,” stated Symbol fully.

“So Wiseman is going to be even stronger now?!” demanded Dante.

“Yes,” replied Vergil in defeat as they turned to the giant humanoid figure that had no legs and was made from chunks of debris.

“Well this sucks!” snarled Symbol.

“Any ideas?” asked Vergil.

“You see that eye of his?!” demanded Dante, pointing out that one of Wiseman’s eyes was bigger than the other. 

“Yeah?” questioned Vergil, wondering where his brother was taking this.

“His Phantom Child had something like that!” shouted Symbol over the roaring winds. “Whenever we hit it, a lot more damage was done than when we hit other parts of the body!” 

At that moment, Wiseman pulled back one of his fists.

“Keep him busy! I’ll try and get the eye exposed,” shouted Vergil as he dodged right, while Dante and Symbol dodge to the left and back respectively. “Don’t attack him!” ordered Vergil. “Just stay alive until I expose his eye!” 

“You make it sound really easy!” shouted Symbol as Wiseman’s fist reformed.

“More not killing?!” whined Dante, then he saw Wiseman pull back his fist. “MOVE!” he shouted as Wiseman hit the side of the building and caused it to start collapsing.

Symbol added the Boost and Bind Rings to her right glove before pressing down on her Wizard Driver’s right Shift Lever. [MAGIC TOUCHIE HENSHIN!] Then she scanned her right glove over her Wizard Driver’s Hand Author. [BOOST BIND PLEASE!] Then Symbol held her right glove out to the side, making the two magic circles appear and pass through her. Transforming Symbol into the Active Boost Bind Style.

Then Symbol pressed down on her Wizard Driver’s right Shift Lever twice. [MAGIC TOUCHIE GO!] She scanned her right glove over her Wizard Driver’s Hand Author again as she leapt off the edge of the crumbling building. [BIND MAGIC PLEASE!] She threw a spin kick and firing a chain construct of orange magical energy that shot forwards and speared a building, pulling her to it.

Dante landed next to her.

They both saw Vergil appear in a room of the next skyscraper. The wall that had been destroyed as Vergil pressed down on her Wizard Driver’s left Shift Lever once. [YES! THUNDER KICK STRIKE!] Then he scanned his right glove over his Wizard Driver’s Hand Author. [UNDERSTAND!?] Vergil started firing summoned swords, as did his Doppelganger.

The Wiseman Phantom roared in fury as he spun around and destroyed part of the building which Vergil happened to be in.

“VERGIL!” shouted Dante.

“NO!” screamed Symbol.

The Wiseman Phantom pulled back his fist, aiming at Vergil.

“Dante, Sunset, DO SOMETHING!” he shouted.

“I’m on it!” shouted Symbol as she punched down on her Wizard Driver’s left Shift Lever four times. [MAGICAL TOUCH GO! VERY NICE!] Then she scanned her left glove over her Wizard Driver’s Hand Author. [ACTIVE! S RANK SPELL! THE BEST!] Symbol brought up her boot and slammed it into the ground. From which came a chain of orange energy that wrapped around the Wiseman Phantom’s arm. “Spike Chain!” Symbol tried to jerk the Wiseman Phantom back but was being pulled forwards.

Dante grabbed his sister and pulled her back. Their combined strength succeeded in pulling the Wiseman Phantom back and away from Vergil.

Vergil fired another summoned sword into Wiseman’s eye. Forcing him to grip the ledge of a building with one hand. “Now Dante! Sunset! Get to the eye!” shouted Vergil.

“I’ll hold it!” shouted Dante as he grabbed the chain. “You go!”

“On it!” Swmyobl switched the Boost Ring for the Slasher Ring and pressed down on her Wizard Driver’s right Shift Lever. [MAGIC TOUCHIE HENSHIN!] Then she swiped her right glove over her Wizard Driver’s Hand Author. [SLASHER BIND PLEASE!] Symbol ran to the right as the two magic circles appeared. She ran through them and then started to scale the Wiseman Phantom’s arm as she was transformed into the Active Slasher Bind Style.

Symbol quickly scaled the Wiseman Phantom’s arm, she landed on its other arm and pressed down on her Wizard Driver’s left Shift Lever four times. [MAGICAL TOUCH GO! VERY NICE!] Symbol scanned her left glove over her Wizard Driver’s Hand Author. [ACTIVE! S RANK SPELL! THE BEST!] She fired the Bind Claws forwards as they were wreathed in red lightning. “Slasher Crush!” shouted Symbol as she pulled back on the chains. The debris around the eye was pulled away.

Symbol jumped from a car to a train as the Wiseman Phantom swatted the car away. Symbol was now above the Wiseman Phantom and switched the Active Ring for the Giga Ring as she pressed down on her Wizard Driver’s left Shift Lever. [MAGICAL TOUCH HENSHIN!] Symbol scanned her left glove over her Wizard Driver’s Hand Author. [GIGA PLEASE!] She held her left glove down to the ground as the Giga magic circle appeared under her boots. [BREAK THROUGH!] Symbol fell through it, transforming into the Giga Style.

Symbol added two rings to her right glove and pressed down on her Wizard Driver’s right Shift Lever. [MAGIC TOUCHIE HENSHIN!] Then she scanned her right glove over her Wizard Driver’s Hand Author. [HAMMER QUAKE PLEASE!] Symbol held her right glove down and the two magic circles appeared before she fell through them. Transforming herself into the Giga Hammer Quake Style.

Symbol grabbed the Piston Hammer out of the air as it materialized and pressed down on her Wizard Driver’s left Shift Lever four times. [MAGICAL TOUCH GO! VERY NICE!] Then Symbol scanned her left glove over her Wizard Driver’s Hand Author. [GIGA! S RANK SPELL! THE BEST!] She covered the Piston Hammer in a construct of green energy spikes. “Spike Hammer!” shouted Symbol as she brought it down and slammed it into the Wiseman Phantom’s eye. Sparks exploded from the impact point as the Wiseman Phantom screamed in pain.

Livid the Wiseman Phantom grabbed Symbol and threw her into the side of a building.

Given that she had been fighting for four days with only a few hours rest between fights, it was no wonder that Symbol was knocked out from the impact.

Vergil had just seen the most horrible thing that he ever saw in his life.

Considering he had been fighting a species that had wiped out the female species on dozens on worlds, that was saying something.

Vergil pressed down on his Wizard Driver’s right Shift Lever once. [YES! THUNDER KICK STRIKE!] Then he scanned the Thunder Trigger Ring across it. [UNDERSTAND!?] Vergil vanished in a burst of green lightning and appeared next to Symbol as she was falling. He grabbed his sister and teleported again, but did not quite make it to the building. He teleported and smashed through a glass wind.

Dante arrived seconds later. “Good catch,” he complimented.

Symbol started to stir. “Uh, what hit me?” she asked.

“That would be Wiseman,” replied Dante.

“Are you ok, sister?” asked Vergil.

“I’ve felt better,” replied Symbol as she got back to her boots.

“Look,” Dante pointed outside the window. “He’s showing cracks..”

“That means this new power,” began Vergil.

“Super form,” Symbol cut him off.

Vergil stared at his sister. “What?”

“Its a level up from the Upgraded Form, so we’ll call it a Super Form,” shrugged Symbol.

“Right,” Vergil face plate palmed.

Dante burst out laughing.

“This super form must be unstable and at the price of increasing his strength, decrease his defence,” explained Vergil.

“So we can hurt him a lot easier now?” asked Dante.

“Yes,” replied Vergil.

“Great!” shouted Dante.

“Awesome!” yelled Symbol.

“But!” Vergil stopped their little celebration. “He can hurt us a lot easier as well.”

“So be careful?” asked Symbol.

“Yes,” replied Vergil.

“Got it,” stated Dante as they ran down a hallway.

Vergil looked out a window and saw something. “Dante, Sunset!” he called their attention. “Do you see that?” he pointed to the centre of Wiseman’s chest.

“Yeah, we see it,” replied Dante.

“But what is it?” asked Symbol as she stared at the shadowy humanoid figure within the Wiseman Phantom’s chest.

“He’s still in there!” shouted Dante.

“We have to get in there and kill him,” stated Vergil.

“Come on, let's go!” shouted Symbol as she kicked a car out of the wall, opening a hole.

Vergil kicked down a door after they took a left turn.

“Why is his body in there?” asked Dante as they ran past a window.

“Oh, so that's what that shape was,” realised Symbol.

Vergil ignored Symbol’s question and focused on Dante’s. “That is his real body. That big thing is just a construct using debris instead of pure energy. That’s how he made it so big and why he is protecting it.”

“So if we kill his body,” Symbol realised.

“We kill Wiseman,” unioned Dante and Vergil.

“Tell us this SOONER NEXT TIME!” yelled Symbol. “I would have aimed for his head while he was still in his human form!”

Dante glared at Vergil as he realised that Symbol had a point.

“Sorry Sunset,” apologized Vergil sheepishly.

Dante grabbed a train that had pierced the building and threw it out of their way.

They dropped down a floor and Vergil kicked open another door.

Symbol smashed through a wall, then through a wooden barricade.

Just in time for the Wiseman Phantom to appear in front of them and smash open the side of the building.

He started some sort of gravity well that started pulling the siblings towards him.

“Oh no! Vergil!” shouted Dante as his brother was pulled in.

Dante started to slip, but Symbol grabbed him and pulled him back. 

Vergil was about to be pulled into the Wiseman Phantom’s construct when he jumped off a piece of debris. Before Vergil was able to jump away, the Wiseman Phantom pulled him in.

“YOU’LL PAY!” roared Dante.

“WHAT HAVE YOU DONE TO HIM!?” yelled Symbol.

The Wiseman Phantom’s construct replied to the question by vomiting acid at the siblings.

Symbol was not willing to run, she changed the Rings on her right glove for the Bombardment and Terra Rings before pressing down on her Wizard Driver’s right Shift Lever. [MAGIC TOUCHIE HENSHIN!] Then she scanned her right glove over her Wizard Driver’s Hand Author. [BOMBARDMENT TERRA PLEASE!] Symbol held her right glove down to the ground as the two magic circles appeared under her boots and rose up through her. Transforming Symbol into the Giga Bombardment Terra Style.

As the acid was about to reach them, Symbol pressed down on her Wizard Driver’s left Shift Lever four times. [MAGICAL TOUCH GO! VERY NICE!] She scanned her left glove over her Wizard Driver’s Hand Author. [GIGA! S RANK SPELL! THE BEST!] A rock was pulled from the ground, covered in green magical energy. ‘How does that even work?! We’re twenty stories up, there is no rock for metres!’ thought Symbol. She shook it off. “Terra Buster!” she fired a pair of blasts from the Chain Cannons that caused the rock to burst into fragments. They shot through the air like comets and slammed into the acid, exploding and destroying the wave of chemicals.

The Wiseman Phantom construct gave a roar of rage as it covered one hand in red magical energy and brought it back.

Dante and Symbol looked at each other before nodding.

Dante drew the Rebellion Magnum and punched the Devil Trigger Ring into the back of it. [FOUR! DEVIL!] An earth red one with flame red outlines appeared next to the Rebellion Magnum’s skull. [MAGNUM STRIKE!] Dante took aim and fired the Rebellion Magnum at the Wiseman Phantom’s construct arm. The Rebellion Magnum fired a blast of energy that shaped into a construct of the spinning axe head. The red energy around the Phantom’s arm vanished in sparks and excess red magical energy. 

Symbol switched the Bombardment and Terra Rings for the Hammer and Drill Rings, then she pressed down on her Wizard Driver’s right Shift Lever. [MAGIC TOUCHIE HENSHIN!] Symbol scanned her right glove over her Wizard Driver’s Hand Author. [HAMMER DRILL PLEASE!] Then she held her right glove down to the ground as the two magic circles appear and moved up through her. Transforming Symbol into the Giga Hammer Drill Style.

Symbol pressed down on her Wizard Driver’s left Shift Lever four times. [MAGICAL TOUCH GO! VERY NICE!] Then she scanned her left glove over her Wizard Driver’s Hand Author. [GIGA! S RANK SPELL! THE BEST!] The rocket on the back of the Driller Hammer ignited as the drill started spinning. Symbol ran towards Dante.

He cupped his gloves and gave his sister a boost into the air. 

“Drilling Rocket!” shouted Symbol as she spun around and slammed the Driller Hammer into the Wiseman Phantom construct’s arm. The impact of the hammer caused the arm to shatter into the debris that made it up.

“YES!” shouted Symbol.

Then the debris was pulled around the Wiseman Phantom construct’s other arm, making it become a lot bigger. It clearly gained a boost in strength.

“Oh come on!” shouted Symbol as she landed back on the roof.

“Calm down!” shouted Dante. “We’ll just repeat the process again!” he yelled.

The Wiseman Phantom construct raised its remaining arm and it was coated in burning red magical energy.

Dante raised the Rebellion Magnum and punched the Devil Trigger Ring into the back of it. [TWO! DEVIL!] The earth red four with flame red outlines turned into an earth red two with flame red outlines. [MAGNUM STRIKE!] Red magical energy spiralled into the Rebellion Magnum as Dante took aim and fired an orb of red magical energy. It roared through the air and slammed into the Wiseman Phantom’s arm. Releasing three pulses of red magical energy.

But to Dante’s shock, the red magical energy around the Wiseman Phantom construct’s arm did not fade away.

“WHAT?!” shouted Dante, right before the fist slammed into the roof and unleashed a shockwave that sent both him and Symbol flying with sparks coming from their bodies. “What happened?!” demanded Dante as he got back to its boots.

“My guess?” replied Symbol. “The arm wasn’t the only thing that got thicker and stronger!” 

“Let’s give this a go!” Dante held down on the Rebellion Magnum’s trigger. [DEVIL!] Ten rings of red magical energy were pulled into the Rebellion Magnum as Dante took aim. [MAGNUM STRIKE!] He released the trigger, firing an orb of red magical energy from the Rebellion Magnum. “Trinity Smash!” roared Dante as the orb slammed into the Wiseman Phantom construct’s arm. 

This time the energy was dispelled.

“HA! TAKE THAT YOU OVERGROWN DEMOLITION SIGHT!” shouted Dante.

Symbol glanced at her brother for a second as she switched the Drill Ring for the Terra Ring, then pressed down on her Wizard Driver’s right Shift Lever. [MAGIC TOUCHIE HENSHIN!] Then Symbol scanned her right glove over her Wizard Driver’s Hand Author. [HAMMER TERRA PLEASE!] She held her right glove down to the ground as the terra magic circle appeared under her boots and rose up through her.

Dante gave his sister another boost into the air.

“Thanks, Dante!” Symbol pressed down on her Wizard Driver’s left Shift Lever four times. [MAGICAL TOUCH GO! VERY NICE!] Then she scanned her left glove over her Wizard Driver’s Hand Author. [GIGA! S RANK SPELL! THE BEST!] Green magical energy covered the Ripper Hammer as the chainsaws on either side of it fired up. “Ripping Strike!” The handle lengthened as the Ripper Hammer grew in length before Symbol slammed it into the Wiseman Phantom construct’s other arm. This one shattered as well.

The Wiseman Phantom Construct roared as the debris formed around its head, making it swell to several times its normal size.

“That would look stupid if it was not so terrifying,” commented Dante as the Wiseman Phantom Construct pulled back its head, clearly getting ready to headbutt the building that Dante and Symbol were standing on the roof of.

Dante transformed the Rebellion Magnum back into its Eryx Mode by pulling out its cylinder, turning the cylinder then pressing the cylinder back into the Rebellion Magnum’s Handle. Then Dante punched the Devil Trigger Ring into the back of the Rebellion Magnum [SIX! DEVIL!] The flame red two transformed into a flame red six with earth red outlines. [MAGNUM STRIKE!] Dante aimed the Rebellion Magnum at the Wiseman Phantom Construct, before holding down on its trigger. [DEVIL!] Ten rings of red magical energy were pulled into the Rebellion Magnum’s barrel. [MAGNUM STRIKE!] Dante let go of the trigger and fired a column-sized beam of red magical energy that slammed into the Wiseman Phantom Construct’s face. “Mega Snake Eyes!” shouted Dante as the energy around the Phantom’s head flickered.

“Almost there,” muttered Dante as he jumped into the air and punched the Devil Trigger Ring into his Driver’s left slot then he turned his wrist forwards. [GO! DEVIL!] Red magical energy surged down from Dante’s Driver and covered his right boot. [KICK STRIKE!] Dante thrust his right boot forwards. “Snake Eyes!” he screamed as his boot made contact with the Wiseman Phantom Construct’s head. The red energy around the head flickered and died. “SUNSET! NOW!” he screamed.

Symbol switched the Hammer Ring for the Punch Ring and pressed down on her Wizard Driver’s right Shift Lever. [MAGIC TOUCHIE HENSHIN!] Then she scanned her right glove over her Wizard Driver’s Hand Author before holding it down to the ground. [PUNCH TERRA PLEASE!] The punch magic circle appeared under Symbol’s boots and then rose up through her. Transforming Symbol into the Giga Punch Terra Style.

Then Symbol jumped into the air. “Thanks, Dante!” she shouted to her brother as he gave her a boost. Symbol pressed down on her Wizard Driver’s left Shift Lever four times. [MAGICAL TOUCH GO! VERY NICE!] Then she scanned her left glove over her Wizard Driver’s Hand Author as green magical energy started to spark around the Terra Cutters. [GIGA! S RANK SPELL! THE BEST!] They roared to life as the green magical energy made the Terra Cutters grow in size. “Terra Ripper!” shouted Symbol as she slashed the Wiseman Phantom Construct across the face, leaving two pairs of glowing green lines through it.

While she was still in the air, Symbol switched the Terra Ring for the Drill Ring and punched down on her Wizard Driver’s left Shift Lever. [MAGIC TOUCHIE HENSHIN!] She scanned her right glove over her Wizard Driver’s Hand Author, then she held her right glove down to the ground. [PUNCH DRILL PLEASE!] The drill magic circle appeared under Symbol’s boots and rose up through her, transforming Symbol into the Giga Punch Drill Style.

Then Symbol pressed down on her Wizard Driver’s left Shift Lever four times. [MAGICAL TOUCH GO! VERY NICE!] She scanned her left glove over her Wizard Driver’s Hand Author as a section of the roof started to glow with green magical energy. [GIGA! S RANK SPELL! THE BEST!] The section of the roof was pulled up, shooting past Dante in the process.

“HEY! Watch it!” shouted Dante.

The section of the roof arrived in front of Symbol as the Punch Drillers started to glow with light green magical energy. Symbol rammed both of them into the piece of rubble. “Wall Charge!” shouted Symbol as the wall rubble was covered in green magical energy. Both Symbol and the rubble dropped through the air like a meteor. The rubble smashed into the head of the Wiseman Phantom Construct. The rubble shattered as sparks and microexplosions came from the constructs head.

“Nearly there!” shouted Symbol as she switched the Drill Ring for the Quake Ring before pressing down on her Wizard Driver’s right Shift Lever. [MAGIC TOUCHIE HENSHIN!] Then she scanned her right glove over her Wizard Driver’s Hand Author, before holding her right glove down to the ground. [PUNCH QUAKE PLEASE!] The quake magic circle appeared under Symbol as she fell through it. Slamming back into the roof she kicked up a cloud of dust. When the dust cleared, Symbol was revealed to be in the Giga Punch Quake Style.

“Final!” shouted Symbol as she pressed down on her Wizard Driver’s left Shift Lever. [MAGICAL TOUCH GO! VERY NICE!] Then Symbol scanned her left glove over her Wizard Driver’s Hand Author as she pulled back her right glove. [GIGA! S RANK SPELL! THE BEST!] Symbol slammed it into the roof, making a blade of magma shoot out of the ground. “Magma Blade!” bellowed Symbol as the blade slammed into the Wiseman Phantom Construct’s head, blowing it apart.

“Ok and help him!” ordered Dante.

“WHAT?! Are you sure?!” demanded Symbol.

The Wiseman Phantom Construct’s head started to reform.

“Yes!” replied Dante.

“Ok then,” Symbol as about to jump.

“If we don’t destroy the body, then that thing will just keep reforming!” shouted Dante.

One of the arms had reformed by this time.

“Ok then,” Symbol ran towards the edge of the roof.

“Sunset!” shouted Dante.

Symbol glanced at her brother.

“Be safe,” ordered Dante.

Symbol nodded to her brother as she switched the Giga Ring for the Active Ring then pressed down on her Wizard Driver’s left Shift Lever. [MAGICAL TOUCH HENSHIN!] “I’ll be fine,” she scanned her left glove over her Wizard Driver’s Hand Author. [ACTIVE PLEASE!] Symbol held her left glove out to the side. [LET’S GO!] The active magic circle appeared to Symbol’s left and moved through her as she jumped into the Wiseman Phantom Construct’s head as it finished reforming.

“Sunset?!” demanded Vergil. “What are you doing here?!”

“I’m here to help you. Mister ungrateful!” shouted Symbol as she added the Ice and Aqua Rings to her right glove before striking her Wizard Driver’s right Shift Lever. [MAGIC TOUCHIE HENSHIN!] Then Symbol scanned her right glove over her Wizard Driver’s Hand Author before holding her right glove out to the side. [ICE AQUA PLEASE!] The two magic circles appeared to her right and moved through her. Transforming Symbol into the Active Ice Bind Style.

Then Symbol pressed down on her Wizard Driver’s left Shift Lever four times as Vergil kicked the Wiseman Phantom away from him. [MAGICAL TOUCH GO! VERY NICE!] Symbol scanned the Active Ring across her Wizard Driver’s Hand Author as frost started to form around her left glove. [ACTIVE! S RANK SPELL! THE BEST!] The frost formed into a ball of ice that Symbol threw forwards. “Ice Grenade!” shouted Symbol as the ice ball exploded, freezing the Wiseman Phantom.

Then Symbol switched the Aqua Ring for the Defend Ring and pressed down on her Wizard Driver’s right Shift Lever. [MAGIC TOUCHIE HENSHIN!] She scanned her right glove over her Wizard Driver’s Hand Author. [ICE DEFEND PLEASE!] She held her right glove out to the side and the defend magic circle appeared before moving over her. Transforming Symbol into the Active Ice Defend Style.

“You ok? Vergil?” asked Symbol as she looked at her panting brother.

“Not really, I’ve used most of my magical energy,” replied Vergil.

“Then take a breather. I’ll finish this!” shouted Symbol. 

“You sure?” asked Vergil.

“I’m just returning the favour!” Symbol pressed down on her Wizard Driver’s left Shift Lever four times. [MAGICAL TOUCH GO! VERY NICE!] Then she scanned her left glove over her Wizard Driver’s Hand Author. [ACTIVE! S RANK SPELL! THE BEST!] There was a loud cracking sound as the Wiseman Phantom broke free. “Ice Avalanche!” only to be buried under a pile of snow.

“You know, that would be funny. If it wasn’t just going to make him even more pissed off,” commented Vergil.

“Yeah, but two ice moves connecting in a row will slow him down a lot,” explained Symbol even as she changed the Rings on her right glove and pressed down on her Wizard Driver’s right Shift Lever. [MAGIC TOUCHIE HENSHIN!] Then Symbol scanned the Slasher and Defend Rings across her Wizard Driver’s Hand Author. [SLASHER DEFEND PLEASE!] She held her right glove out to the side and the two magic circles appeared before moving through her.

The Wiseman Phantom burst out of the snow pile. “YOU WILL PAY!” he roared in a demonic tone as he was covered in silver and purple magical energy before shooting at Symbol like a comet.

On the outside, Dante dodged another attempt by the Construct to smash him when he heard the roar. “Sounds like one heck of a party in there,” he commented as he avoided some acid that was spewed at him.

Symbol pressed down on her Wizard Driver’s left Shift Lever four times. [MAGICAL TOUCH GO! VERY NICE!] She scanned her left glove over her Wizard Driver’s Hand Author as red lightning crackled around the Slasher Defend Claws. [ACTIVE! S RANK SPELL! THE BEST!] Symbol locked them over her helmet before starting to spin. She quickly transforming into a tornado of red lightning. “Fortress Slash!” Symbol went shooting down towards the Wiseman Phantom before she smashed into it. The two attacks cancelled each other out in a loud explosion of silver and purple magical energy against a blast of red lightning.

Thanks to the two ice attribute moves the Wiseman Phantom was stunned and Symbol recovered quicker. She switched the Defend Ring for her first ever Ring combination as she pressed down on her Wizard Driver’s right Shift Lever. [MAGIC TOUCHIE HENSHIN!] Then she scanned the two Rings across her Wizard Driver’s Hand Author. [SLASHER AQUA PLEASE!] Symbol held her right glove out to the side and the aqua magic circle appeared before moving through her. Transforming Symbol into her Active Slasher Aqua Style.

Then Symbol pressed down on her Wizard Driver’s left Shift Lever four times. [MAGICAL TOUCH GO! VERY NICE!] She aligned the Active Ring with her Wizard Driver’s Hand Author. [ACTIVE! S RANK SPELL! THE BEST!] Red lightning covered the Slasher Tidal Claws as Symbol charged forwards. “Slasher Burst!” screamed Symbol as she slashed three X’s into the Wiseman Phantom’s chest. Red lightning crackled over the Phantom as Symbol drove it down and out of the Wiseman Phantom Construct’s head. She grabbed Vergil on the way and pulled him with her.

Dante watched as three projectiles burst out of the Wiseman Phantom Construct’s head.

Symbol landed on her backplate and combat rolled back to her boots.

Vergil landed on his boots, crouched and then stood back up.

The Wiseman Phantom landed on the ground and slid several feet with red lightning crackling over his body. Sparks bled from the three red X’s and microexplosions went off around him. “No,” he staggered back to his feet. “This cannot be happening!”

“Newsflash Wiseman!” shouted Dante. “This is all too real!” 

“This is for our Father and Mother!” shouted Vergil.

“Final!” yelled Symbol as she switched the Active Ring for the Advance Ring, then pressed down on her Wizard Driver’s left Shift Lever. [TOUCH TO ADVANCE YOUR CLASS!] Then she swiped her left glove over her Wizard Driver’s Hand Author. [ADVANCE PLEASE!] Symbol 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.

Dante turned the Trigger Ring around, turning it into its Angel Mode before he punched it into his Driver’s left slot. [TRIGGER!] Dante turned his wrist back, then forwards, making his Driver’s gate close and open again. [GO ANGEL!] The angel trigger magic circle appeared from Dante’s Driver and moved back through him. [AN-AN-AN-ANGEL!] Transforming Dante into the Angel Trigger Style.

Vergil pressed down on her Wizard Driver’s right Shift Lever four times. [YES! THUNDER KICK STRIKE!] Then he scanned his right glove over his Wizard Driver’s Hand Author. [UNDERSTAND!?] Three green summoned swords appeared on either side of Vergil as blood red and light blue energy was gathered into his right boot.

Symbol pressed down on her Wizard Driver’s left Shift Lever four times. [TOUCH TO CAST THE NEXT LEVEL! VERY NICE!] Then she scanned her left glove across her Wizard Driver’s Hand Author as her yellow parts started to release yellow particles. [ADVANCE S TIER SPELL! THE BEST!] The energy collected around her right boots as Symbol put her right boot forwards.

Dante punched the Angel Trigger Ring into his Driver’s left slot. [KICK STRIKE! GO!] Then he turned his left glove forwards as the light blue wind gathered around him. [ANGEL!] It was pulled into Dante’s right boot as he placed it forwards.

All three Kamen Riders jumped into the air, flipped once and went shooting down with their right boots forward. “RIDER KICK!” bellow all three Kamen Riders as their right boots made contact with the Wiseman Phantom and pushed him back in a large explosion.

The Kamen Riders landed on the ground as the Wiseman Phantom sparked with microexplosions going off around him before he fell to his knees and exploded.

“It’s finally over,” muttered Dante in numb shock.

“I can’t believe it,” muttered Symbol in an equal amount of shock.

“Not quite,” Vergil pointed with the Thunder Yamato Katana to where the Wiseman Phantom had staggered out of the smoke.

“HE’S STILL ALIVE?” shouted Dante.

“ARE YOU KIDDING ME?!” roared Symbol.

Then the once mighty Wiseman Phantom fell down to his knees.

“He is no longer a threat,” commented Vergil as he approached the Wiseman Phantom.

Dante and Symbol shared a look as they chased after their brother.

“It’s hard to believe,” commented the Wiseman Phantom as particles of silver energy started to drift from his body. “It has been so long that I forgot what the feeling of defeat was like.”

“At least you know how our mother felt,” commented Symbol.

“Indeed, your mother accepted her end with dignity and honour,” The Wiseman Phantom turned his head to look at the Kamen Riders. “Phantom law requires me to offer you a prize for my defeat.”

“You have nothing that we could ever want,” spat out Dante.

“She does,” the Wiseman Phantom nodded at Symbol. 

“Me?” asked Symbol tilting her helmet to the side.

“You have no idea, do you?” questioned the Wiseman Phantom. 

“What are you talking about?!” demanded Vergil.

“Her upgraded Form in incomplete. That is why she loses control after a minute. I can correct the issue.”

“You can?” asked Symbol.

“Yes, but first. If I may offer a tip?” asked the Wiseman Phantom.

“Go on,” nodded Dante.

“There are always three Wisemen,” stated the Wiseman Phantom.

The three siblings looked at the dying Wiseman Phantom in confusion for several seconds. Then that confusion turned to understand. Understanding turned to horror.

“Wait-” began Vergil.

“You mean?!” demanded Dante.

“When my world was invaded and I was converted into a Phantom, I had two brothers who were converted alongside me and a friend of the family. My brothers came out of the ritual chamber looking identical to myself and the family friend,” the Wiseman Phantom trailed off. His legs had vanished by this time.

“Was Sparda,” realised Symbol.

“Yes,” admitted the Wiseman Phantom. “When the original Phantom King was killed, the Phantom horde was ten times its original size. The second Phantom King was killed from having to support a Hive Mind that massive. Since I and my brothers were next in line, we shared the Hive Mind.”

“So there are two more of you?!” demanded Dante.

The Wiseman Phantom laughed.

“What’s so funny?” asked Symbol.

“No,” replied the Wiseman Phantom. “I am the youngest of the three, the least powerful and the most merciful of the three.”

“You call eating someone’s beating heart and making them watch MERCY?!” demanded Dante.

“I only said that because I thought you had killed my child,” the Wiseman Phantom pointed out. “I killed your Mother with a single attack, it was over before she had time to feel any pain. Sparda being dragged away was on my two older brother’s orders. I could not defy them. I warn you my brothers will not show mercury when you fight them, now that you have killed their brother,” his torso had vanished.

“Wait, what about this prize?!” demanded Symbol.

“You will get that if you survive,” replied the Wiseman Phantom as his head vanished.

“What did he mean by that?!” demanded Dante.

Then a singularity formed in the air where the Wiseman Phantom had just been.

“RUN!” screamed Vergil.

The three of them turned and started to run but were quickly being pulled back.

“We should have just killed him in the first place!” shouted Vergil. “Before he had a chance to do this!”

“You just had to strike up a conversation!” Dante yelled at Symbol.

“Shut up!” shouted Symbol. “You went along with it!”

“Enough the both of you!” yelled Vergil. “Fighting each other will not help us survive this!”

“I don’t see anything we can do Vergil!” shouted Dante.

“We’re way too tired!” yelled Symbol.

“So you just want to give up?!” demanded Vergil. “With that attitude, we’ll never survive this!” 

“Your right,” muttered Symbol as she pressed down on her Wizard Driver’s left Shift Lever once. [TOUCH TO CAST THE NEXT LEVEL!] She scanned her left glove over her Wizard Driver’s Hand Author as her forearm guards started to release the yellow magical energy. [ADVANCE C TIER SPELL!] “But you two will!” 

“Sunset?!” shouted Dante.

“WHAT ARE YOU DOING?!” shouted Vergil.

Symbol grabbed them both and threw them forwards, out of the singularity’s reach.

Both brothers landed on the ground and turned around.

 Just in time to see Symbol run out of magical energy and transform back into Sunset Shimmer Sparda in a flash of yellow light.

She could already feel her grip on the ground weakening thanks to her no longer having the super strength of her Upgraded Kamen Rider Form. She gave her brothers a watery smile as tears bleed in the corners of her eyes.

“Take care of each other,” she whispered.

Then she let go.

Sunset Shimmer Sparda felt herself get pulled into a rip in space and closed her eyes, not wanting to see her brother’s horrified faces.

“SUNSET!”

The last thing she heard was her brothers both screaming her name.
> Interlude 1
> --------------------------------------------------------------------------

*WHAM!*

“OW!” shouted Sunset Shimmer Sparda as her face impacted the ground. She clutched her sore nose as she got back up. “That hurt!” muttered Sunset. Suddenly, a wave of pain tore through her side. She clutched her ribs and then pulled her hand away to see blood soaking it.

“I must have taken a lot of damage in that fight against the Wiseman Phantom,” muttered Sunset before she looked around. “Not what I was expecting.”

Given the fact that she had just been sucked into a tear in space, Sunset expected to see a golden gate in front of a city of gold on top of clouds, a giant judgment hall or even fire and brimstone.

Instead, she was outside Paradise, Sparda and Eva’s mansion.

But it was not the same.

The sky was red instead of blue with a white sun. But it didn’t feel like the Slip Dimension. ‘Did that collapse on this dimension anyway?’ thought Symbol as she remembered seeing people running away from Phantom’s while she was fighting the Wiseman Phantom. Paradise was a lot more wrecked than before, the damage looked freshly done as appose to the ancient damage than Sunset had seen before and part of the building was still on fire.

“Sunset, Sunset,” came a soft voice.

“What the heck?!” Sunset remembered where she had heard that voice before. “Mother?” questioned Sunset as she got back up. Only to shout in pain as she held her sides. “Come on,” gritted Sunset. “Heal up already!” 

“What is this place?” muttered Sunset as she ran up a pathway and past a tree that was on fire. She had to jump to a floating platform, but then she paused before the next jump. “I can’t make that jump in my human form. Active Boost Style would work, but Swift Wing Style would be better,” Sunset held out her wrist and flicked it.

Nothing happened.

There was an awkward beat as Sunset flicked her wrist again and again, then once more. It was only on the third flick that the Active Ring appeared on Sunset’s left middle finger. “Why can’t I summon the Giga, Swift and Burst Rings?!” demanded Sunset.

Then the platform she was on started to collapse.

“Guess Active Style will have to do,” muttered Symbol as she quickly pressed down on her Wizard Driver’s left Shift Lever. [MAGICAL TOUCH HENSHIN!] Then Sunset scanned her left hand over her Wizard Driver’s Hand Author. [ACTIVE PLEASE!] Sunset held her left hand out to the side and the active magic circle appeared to her left. [LET’S GO!] It moved through the teenage girl, transforming her into Kamen Rider Symbol Active Style.

Suddenly, red lightning sparked over Symbol’s body, driving her down to one knee. “What was that?!” shouted Symbol.

The platform continued to break.

“Figure it out later!” panicked Symbol as she added the Boost and Aqua Rings to her right glove before pressing down on her Wizard Driver’s right Shift Lever. [MAGIC TOUCHIE HENSHIN!] Then Symbol scanned her right glove over her Wizard Driver’s Hand Author. [BOOST AQUA PLEASE!] She held her right glove out to the side and the two magic circles appeared before moving through her, transforming Symbol into the Active Boost Aqua Style.

As the last of the platform started to crumble away, Symbol hit her Wizard Driver’s right Shift Lever once. [MAGIC TOUCHIE GO!] Then she scanned her right glove over her Wizard Driver’s Hand Author as the Aqua Jets blasted out streams of water. [BOOST MAGIC PLEASE!] Symbol jumped into the air with the water propelling her. She flipped once before landing on the next platform.

Only for the edge that she was standing on to crumble away.

“No!” shouted Symbol as she lashed out with one glove and grabbed onto the platform. Wincing, Symbol pulled herself up to the platform. “This is why Swift Style would have been a better choice,” grumbled Symbol as she lay on her backplate.

Then Symbol arrived at another jump, this one was too far to cross with the Boost Style. “What am I supposed to do now?!” shouted Symbol to the sky. At that moment there was a flash of yellow light from Symbol’s left glove. She looked down and saw the Swift Wing appear in the place of the Active Ring.

“Took long enough!” snarled Symbol. Normally she would have been more grateful, but she was in a bad mood. Symbol pressed down on her Wizard Driver’s left Shift Lever. [MAGICAL TOUCH HENSHIN!] Then she scanned her left glove and the Swift Ring over her Wizard Driver’s Hand Author. [SWIFT PLEASE!] Symbol held her left glove into the air as the swift magic circle appeared over her helmet. [DASH AWAY!] Then it fell through her, transforming Symbol into the Swift Style.

Symbol added the Wing and Blade Rings to her right glove and pressed down on her Wizard Driver’s right Shift Lever. [MAGIC TOUCHIE HENSHIN!] Then Symbol scanned her right glove over her Wizard Driver’s Hand Author. [WING BLADE PLEASE!] She held her right glove into the air as the two magic circles appeared over her helmet, then they fell through her, transforming Symbol into the Swift Wing Sniper Style.

Symbol jumped into the air and fired the six Cutter Wings. This gave her the boost she needed to get over the gap.

Symbol glared at the Lesser Blade Phantom’s that burst from the ground, she was about to draw the Swift Blaster when she winced in pain. Symbol grabbed her chestplate then she found that something was missing. “My amulet! It’s gone!” she looked down at her chestplate as she registered that the yellow amulet, the last thing she had of Eva, her mother was missing.

Symbol snarled at the Lesser Blade Phantoms as she pressed down on her Wizard Driver’s right Shift Lever twice. [MAGIC TOUCHIE GO!] Three Lesser Blade Phantoms ran at Symbol as she scanned her right glove over her Wizard Driver’s Hand Author. [BLADE MAGIC PLEASE!] She dashed between a pair of Lesser Blade Phantom’s, slashing at them with the Cutter Wings as she went past. The Lesser Blade Phantom’s fell over and exploded even as Symbol kicked the third Lesser Blade Phantom in the chest.

As the Lesser Blade Phantom that Symbol had kicked flew backwards, she pressed down on her Wizard Driver’s right Shift Lever once. [MAGIC TOUCHIE GO!] Symbol landed back on the ground as she scanned her right glove over her Wizard Driver’s Hand Author. [WING MAGIC PLEASE!] She took up a stance, bending her arms inwards as she flapped the Cutter Wings, firing a barrage of feathers from them. They shot through the air and slammed into the Lesser Blade Phantom, resulting in it exploding.

Seeing three more Lesser Blade Phantoms burst out of the ground, Symbol switched the Wing and Blade Rings for the Turbo and Sniper Rings before striking her Wizard Driver’s right Shift Lever. [MAGIC TOUCHIE HENSHIN!] Then Symbol scanned her right glove over her Wizard Driver’s Hand Author. [TURBO SNIPER PLEASE!] She held her right glove into the air as the two magic circles appeared over her helmet and dropped through her. Transforming Symbol into the Swift Turbo Sniper Style.

Symbol grabbed the Turbine Shooter as it appeared from the air and pressed her Wizard Driver’s right Shift Lever twice. [MAGIC TOUCHIE GO!] Symbol scanned her right glove over her Wizard Driver’s Hand Author as the twin turbines on the Turbine Shooter started to spin. [SNIPER MAGIC PLEASE!] Blue magical energy was fed into the gun’s barrel by the turbines as Symbol took aim. She pulled the trigger, firing three beams of blue magical energy that punched through the three Lesser Blade Phantoms. Blue energy crackled over their bodies for a second before they exploded.

Another three Lesser Blade Phantom’s burst from the ground. “This is getting old!” Symbol switched the Turbo Ring for the Wing Ring and punched down on her Wizard Driver’s right Shift Lever. [MAGIC TOUCHIE HENSHIN!] She scanned her right glove over her Wizard Driver’s Hand Author. [WING SNIPER PLEASE!] She thrust her right glove into the air and the wing magic circle appeared over Symbol’s helmet before falling through her. Transforming Symbol into the Swift Wing Sniper Style.

The Lesser Blade Phantom’s got within range as Symbol pressed down on her Wizard Driver’s right Shift Lever. [MAGIC TOUCHIE GO!] She flapped the Flight Wings and rose into the air as the Lesser Blade Phantom’s swiped at the place she had just been standing. Hovering in the air, Symbol scanned her right glove over her Wizard Driver’s Hand Author. [SNIPER MAGIC PLEASE!] Then she flapped the Flight Wings, firing another barrage of feathers that shot down through the air and made sparks explode from the Lesser Blade Phantom’s before the Phantom’s exploded.

Then Symbol glanced over her shoulder pauldron as she heard the sound of Phantom’s materializing behind her. Only to see nothing. “What?” asked Symbol in confusion. Seeing a bomb fell to the ground at her boots. “Of course,” the bomb started to flash as Symbol pressed down on her Wizard Driver’s left Shift Lever twice. [MAGICAL TOUCH GO!] Then Symbol scanned her left glove over her Wizard Driver’s Hand Author just before the bomb exploded. [SWIFT! B RANK SPELL!] Out of the smoke came a blur of yellow, signally that Symbol was moving at super speeds. The three Valkyrie Phantom’s in the air threw more bombs at Symbol, all of which missed.

“They’re never going to hit me with those things,” then Symbol saw a pattern starting to form. “They’re herding me towards the edge!” she realised. Deciding to take a stand, Symbol switched the Wing Ring for the Arrow Ring and the Sniper Ring for the Blade Ring as she pressed down on her Wizard Driver’s right Shift Lever. [MAGIC TOUCHIE HENSHIN!] Symbol held her right glove into the air after she scanned it over her Wizard Driver’s Hand Author. [ARROW BLADE PLEASE!] The two magic circles appeared and moved through Symbol, transforming her into the Swift Arrow Blade Style.

While still moving, Symbol pressed down on her Wizard Driver’s right Shift Lever once. [MAGIC TOUCHIE GO!] More bombs approached her as she scanned her right glove over her Wizard Driver’s Hand Author. [ARROW MAGIC PLEASE!] Symbol pulled back on the Buzz Bow and fired six blasts of wind from it. They rocketed past the bombs, causing them to detonate in mid-air. The blasts of wind soared towards the Valkyrie Phantom and started to change shape, forming into the shape of spinning buzzsaws. They slammed into the Valkyrie Phantom’s and made all three of the Phantom’s explode.

“That should be it,” muttered Symbol. Then sparks exploded from her right shoulder pauldron. “ARGH!” she clutched her shoulder pauldron before glaring at the three Icarus Phantom's with great hatred. Symbol pressed down on her Wizard Driver’s right Shift Lever twice. [MAGIC TOUCHIE GO!] Then she scanned her right glove over her Wizard Driver’s Hand Author as the Icarus Phantom’s reloaded their crossbows. [BLADE MAGIC PLEASE!] She pulled back on the Buzz Bow and fired three buzzsaws from it. They roared through the air and cut through the arrows, before slicing into the Icarus Phantom’s in a shower of sparks, making the three Phantom’s explode.

Then Symbol saw three Peryton Phantom’s appear in the air. She switched the Blade Ring for the Zoomer Ring and pressed down on her Wizard Driver’s right Shift Lever. [MAGIC TOUCHIE HENSHIN!] As the Perton Phantom’s fired their lightning bolts, Symbol scanned her right glove over her Wizard Driver’s Hand Author. [ARROW ZOOMER PLEASE!] She held her right glove into the air and the zoomer magic circle appeared before falling through her, blocking the lightning bolts as it transformed Symbol into the Swift Arrow Zoomer Style.

Then Symbol pressed her Wizard Driver’s right Shift Lever again. [MAGIC TOUCHIE GO!] After which she scanned her right glove over her Wizard Driver’s Hand Author for the second time in her current form. [ARROW MAGIC PLEASE!] Symbol pulled back on the Speed Bow and fired a dozen green energy bolts. They shot through the air and slammed into the Peryton Phantom’s making sparks explode from their bodies. Unlike the other Phantom’s that Symbol had faced in this dimension, they did not explode from a single hit.

“These Phantom’s are stronger than the others,” muttered Symbol as she pressed down on her Wizard Driver’s right Shift Lever twice. [MAGIC TOUCHIE GO!] Then Symbol scanned her right glove over her Wizard Driver’s Hand Author as the Peryton Phantom’s fired another barrage of lightning bolts at her. [ZOOMER MAGIC PLEASE!] Everything slowed down from Symbol’s perspective as she sped up. Symbol darted to the left as sparks came from the Peryton Phantom’s as a ring of yellow light was formed around them. Symbol was running around the Peryton Phantom’s at speeds fast enough that she now looked like a ring of light as she fired the Speed Bow at the Phantoms.

The damage started to pile up and the Peryton Phantom’s quickly exploded.

Symbol skidded to a halt, panting. “I can’t do many more of them,” muttered Symbol. She glanced to the right and saw a trio of Lesser Blade Phantom’s bursting out of the ground. “Great,” muttered Symbol as she switched the Zoomer Ring for the Sniper Ring then pressed down on her Wizard Driver’s right Shift Lever. [MAGIC TOUCHIE HENSHIN!] Then she scanned her right glove over her Wizard Driver’s Hand Author. [ARROW SNIPER PLEASE!] She held her right glove into the air as the sniper magic circle appeared and dropped down through Symbol, transforming her into the Swift Arrow Sniper Style.

The Lesser Blade Phantom’s showed how stupid they were as they charged at Symbol in a straight line. She pressed down on her Wizard Driver’s right Shift Lever once. [MAGIC TOUCHIE GO!] Then Symbol scanned her right glove over her Wizard Driver’s Hand Author. [ARROW MAGIC PLEASE!] She took aim with the Sniper Crossbow as green magical energy covered it. Then Symbol pulled the trigger, firing an arrow of wind that shot through the air and pierced through all three Lesser Blade Phantom’s. Green lightning sparked over their bodies as the Phantom’s exploded.

“That took longer than I thought it would,” Symbol ran up a flight of stairs, then took a left turn into the building. For a second she saw ghostly images of herself sparing with her brothers back when they were children and before she was thrown through time.

“Giving up Sunset?” asked the younger Dante.

“You can’t win,” shouted the younger Vergil.

“Not on your life!” replied Sunset, who was a year younger than her current self. She knocked down her younger brothers and disarmed them.

“Those were the times,” muttered the real Symbol.

Suddenly, an evil laugh came out of nowhere. “Poor Sunset, are you lost?”

“I don’t have to humour a Phantom illusion!” shouted Symbol. She took a right turn and arrive at the edge of the manor. There was part of a hallway floating just out of reach. “This is why I’m happy that I kept the Active Style,” Symbol switched the Swift Ring for the Active Ring and pressed down on her Wizard Driver’s right Shift Lever. [MAGICAL TOUCH HENSHIN!] Then she scanned her left glove over her Wizard Driver’s Hand Author. [ACTIVE PLEASE!] Symbol held her left glove out to the side and the active magic circle appeared to her left. [LET’S GO!] It moved through her and transformed Symbol into the Active Style.

Then Symbol added a pair of Rings to her right glove before striking her Wizard Driver’s right Shift Lever. [MAGIC TOUCHIE HENSHIN!] She scanned her right glove over her Wizard Driver’s Hand Author and held it out to the side. [BOOST DEFEND PLEASE!] The boost and defend magic circles appeared to her right and moved through her, transforming Symbol into the Active Boost Defend Style.

Symbol slammed her left boot into the ground and jumped the gap, making it halfway before she started to fall. Then she pressed her Wizard Driver’s right Shift Lever. [MAGIC TOUCHIE GO!] Symbol scanned her right glove over her Wizard Driver’s Hand Author. [BOOST MAGIC PLEASE!] A boost magic circle appeared just below her. Instead of falling through it, her boots made contact with a solid surface that she jumped off, clearing the rest of the gap.

Then Symbol ran through the section of the corridor and jumped to the next island, only just making the jump. “Whoa!” shouted Symbol as she failed her arms, trying to keep her balance. Her lessons from Eva kicked in as she crouched, stopping herself from falling back. “That was close,” Symbol jumped to another island and then leapt up to a ledge inside the next section of the mansion.

Symbol ran through another hall and then dropped down through a hole. “I remember this,” groaned Symbol as she landed on the bottom level. She ran into a square-shaped room when rocks sprang up, blocking the entrance and exits.

“Why do I get the feeling that I’m not going to like what happens next?” asked Symbol rhetorically.

Crows started to caw.

“That’s not an answer!” shouted Symbol.

Something approached her from behind.

Symbol reached over her backplate and drew the Active Blade, slashing at the air behind her. “WHAT?!” only for some and dark blue crows to go flying past her. ‘Wait, dark blue crows?!’ Symbol spun around and looked in the direction that the crows were flying. 

They collected and transformed into a Phantom.

It was humanoid, about eight feet tall and had a long skull-like head. It wore black pants and armour around its hands and forearms, coming from the armour was dull silver blades.

This is the Wisp Phantom.

“Here we go!” muttered Symbol as she pressed down on her Active Blade’s thumb, opening its Hand Author. [COME ON A SLASH SHAKE HANDS!] Symbol scanned her left glove over the Active Blade’s Hand Author. [ACTIVE! SLASH STRIKE!] Red lightning ran up and down the sharp edge of the blade. “Active Slash!” shouted Symbol as she dashed forwards, using the Boost Grieves to give herself and boost as she brought the Active Blade down.

Only for the Wisp Phantom to block it by crossing both blades and then it kicked Symbol in the gut. Sparks came from the impact point as Symbol was sent flying back, shouting in pain. The Wisp Phantom turned into its gas form and blurred forwards, turning solid just in time to slam a fist into Symbol’s faceplate, making more sparks explode from the impact point.

Symbol grunted as she was able to right herself skidded backwards as she landed on the ground, digging furrows into it. Symbol pressed down on her Wizard Driver’s right Shift Lever twice. [MAGIC TOUCHIE GO!] Then she scanned her right glove over her Wizard Driver’s Hand Author as the Wisp came charging at her once more. [DEFEND MAGIC PLEASE!] Symbol held the Defend Shield up in front of her with both gloves. A small barrier of grey magical energy appeared in front of her and blocked the Wisp Phantom’s first punch that was aimed at her.

But the Wisp Phantom kicked out Symbol’s boots from under and kick punched her in the chestplate once, making sparks come from the impact. Then it elbows her in the faceplate and kicked her away. Sparks came from both of the impacts as Symbol was sent flying through the air, slamming into a wall.

Symbol a growl of anger and pain, Symbol switched the Boost Ring for the Slasher Ring. Then she did the same with the Defend and Aqua Ring before pressing down on her Wizard Driver’s right Shift Lever. [MAGIC TOUCHIE HENSHIN!] She scanned her right glove over her Wizard Driver’s Hand Author as the Wisp Phantom transformed into its gas form to rush at her once more. [SLASHER AQUA PLEASE!] Symbol held her right glove out to the side and the two magic circles appeared before moving through her, transforming Symbol into the Active Slasher Aqua Style.

Before the Wisp Phantom could reach her, Symbol pressed down on her Wizard Driver’s right Shift Lever. [MAGIC TOUCHIE GO!] Then she swiped her right glove over her Wizard Driver’s Hand Author as green lightning ran through the Slasher Tidal Claws. [SLASHER MAGIC PLEASE!] Symbol crossed the claws, aiming to block the Wisp Phantom’s fist that was aimed at her faceplate.

But the Wisp Phantom’s fist turned into smoke and passed through Symbol’s guard, it turned solid again just before smashing into her faceplate. Symbol was sent flying back with sparks coming from her faceplate as the Wisp Phantom turned into smoke, got behind her and turned solid again. It grabbed Symbol by the neck and slammed her into the ground repeatedly, before throwing her up into the ceiling.

With a growl of anger, Symbol pressed down on her Wizard Driver’s right Shift Lever twice. [MAGIC TOUCHIE GO!] Water was pulled in from the air and covered the Slasher Tidal Claws as Symbol scanned her right glove over her Wizard Driver’s Hand Author. [AQUA MAGIC PLEASE!] She pointed the Slasher Tidal Claws down and fired six streams of water towards the Wisp Phantom.

Only for the Wisp Phantom to transform into its smoke form and weave around all of the streams. As it reached Symbol, the Phantom turned solid once more and slammed its knee into her gut. Symbol cough in pain as she was grabbed by her neck and thrown back into the ground with enough force to make a creator. The Wisp Phantom propelled itself down through the air towards Symbol at high speeds.

Symbol noticed this and rolled to the side, just in time for the Wisp Phantom to come screaming down and impact the ground, cracking a large dust cloud as bricks and mortar were sent flying everywhere. Symbol switched the Aqua Ring for the Bind Ring and pressed down on her Wizard Driver’s right Shift Lever. [MAGIC TOUCHIE HENSHIN!] Then Symbol scanned her right glove over her Wizard Driver’s Hand Author before holding her right glove out to the side. [SLASHER BIND PLEASE!] Symbol dove to the side, through the bind magic circle as it appeared, just in time for the Wisp Phantom to go screaming through the space she had been in.

Then Symbol pressed down on her Wizard Driver’s right Shift Lever twice. [MAGIC TOUCHIE GO!] She crouched on one knee guard as she scanned her right glove over her Wizard Driver’s Hand Author. [BIND MAGIC PLEASE!] Symbol fired the Slasher Restraint Claws forwards. They shot through the air and aimed to spear the Wisp Phantom, only for it to turn into gas once more, avoiding the attack.

“Oh come on!” shouted Symbol.

The Wisp Phantom turned back into gas and charged at her, slashing Symbol across the chestplate with its left arm blade. Sparks flew from the impact as Symbol shouted in pain before being slashed across the chest plate as second time and punched in the gut. Symbol had no chance to react as she was spin kicked by the Wisp Phantom and sent flying back through the air.

Symbol was able to flip herself back as she switched the Slasher Ring for the Ice Ring and the Bind Ring for the Defence Ring. [MAGIC TOUCHIE HENSHIN!] Then Symbol scanned her right glove over her Wizard Driver’s Hand Author. [ICE DEFEND PLEASE!] Symbol held her right glove out to the side, making the two magic circles appear and move through her. Transforming Symbol into the Active Ice Defend Style.

As the Wisp Phantom approached, Symbol pressed down on her Wizard Driver’s right Shift Lever once. [MAGIC TOUCHIE GO!] Then she scanned her right glove over her Wizard Driver’s Hand Author as the Wisp Phantom reared its right fist back. [ICE MAGIC PLEASE!] Frost gathered around Symbol’s right glove as she curled it into a fist before punching the ground. Out of which burst a wall of ice that gained a Wisp Phantom shaped indent as the Phantom was unable to stop in time.

“Yes! That’s the first hit I’ve given this thing!” shouted Symbol.

Then the Wisp Phantom phased through the wall.

“No! That was the first hit I’ve given this thing!” shouted Symbol.

The Wisp Phantom punched Symbol in the chestplate, sparks exploded from the impact as she was sent flying back. Symbol shot through the air and was slammed into a wall, before being forced further into the wall by the twin palm strike from the Wisp Phantom as it phased up to her.

“BACK OFF!” shouted Symbol as she switched the Defend Ring for the Aqua Ring and pressed down on her Wizard Driver’s right Shift Lever. [MAGIC TOUCHIE HENSHIN!] Symbol scanned her right glove over her Wizard Driver’s Hand Author before thrusting her right glove out to the side. [ICE AQUA PLEASE!] The aqua magic circle appeared to Symbols right and moved through her, forcing the Wisp Phantom to back off as it transformed Symbol into the Active Ice Aqua Style.

As the Wisp Phantom phased back towards Symbol, she pressed down on her Wizard Driver’s right Shift Lever once. [MAGIC TOUCHIE GO!] Then she scanned her right glove across her Wizard Driver’s Hand Author as the Frozen Bracer glowed with light blue magical energy and frost formed in the air around it. [ICE MAGIC PLEASE!] Symbol thrust the Frozen Bracer forwards, firing a barrage of ice spikes at the Wisp Phantom.

Only for it to transform into smoke and phase through the ice spikes. When it turned solid the Phantom did have a few patches of ice where the spikes had passed through it.

“So ice works?” questioned Symbol. “Great!” she pressed down on her Wizard Driver’s left Shift Lever four times. [MAGICAL TOUCH GO! VERY NICE!] Then she scanned her left glove over her Wizard Driver’s Hand Author as the ice on the Wisp Phantom vanished and it phased forwards. [ACTIVE! S RANK SPELL! THE BEST!] Frost collected and formed into a ball of ice in Symbol’s hand. She pulled it back and threw the ball forwards. “Ice Grenade!” shouted Symbol as the ball of ice exploded into a cloud of frost. The Wisp Phantom shot into the cloud and did not come out the other side. When the cloud cleared the Wisp Phantom was revealed, frozen over.

“YES!” shouted Symbol. Then she clutched her side as red lightning sparked over it. “Ow! It worked!” 

Then the ice around the Wisp Phantom cracked.

“It sort of worked?” questioned Symbol.

Then the ice shattered, revealing a livid Wisp Phantom.

“Ok, it didn’t work at all,” deadpanned Symbol.

The Wisp Phantom surged forwards.

Symbol pressed down on her Wizard Driver’s right Shift Lever twice. [MAGIC TOUCHIE GO!] Then she scanned her right glove across her Wizard Driver’s Hand Author as the water swirled inwards, forming into an orb in front of Symbol. [AQUA MAGIC PLEASE!] She punched it with both fists and the water transformed into a beam of high pressure that slammed into the Wisp Phantom, driving it into a wall with sparks exploded from the continuous pressure.

“It’s working,” muttered Symbol.

Right before she ran out of the water as the spell ended.

“Nuts!” shouted Symbol before her world became a pain.

The Wisp Phantom phased forwards and turned solid as it slashed Symbol across her chest, then her legs, followed by head butting her.

“Knock it off!” shouted Symbol as she pressed down on her Wizard Driver’s left Shift Lever four times. [MAGICAL TOUCH GO! VERY NICE!] Then she scanned her left glove over her Wizard Driver’s Hand Author as red lightning crackled down into her right boot. [ACTIVE! S RANK SPELL! THE BEST!] Symbol spun around. “Lightning impact!” then kicked the Phantom in the gut, unleashing a shockwave of red lightning that it had no time to phase through and was sent flying backwards.

But the Wisp Phantom recovered faster than Symbol could react and rammed its elbow into the side of her helmet. Then it grabbed her and started to choke the Kamen Rider by crushing her neck. While doing this it kept punching her in the gut with its free hand over and over.

“No, you don’t!” Symbol pressed down on her Wizard Driver’s left Shift Lever once. [MAGICAL TOUCH GO!] Then Symbol scanned her left glove over her Wizard Driver’s Hand Author. [ACTIVE! C RANK SPELL!] Red lightning covered her right glove as she pulled it back and slammed her palm into the Wisp Phantom’s gut. Only for the Phantom to phase through it.

“Enough is enough!” shouted Symbol, an impressive feat while being strangled, as she switched the Active Ring for the Advance Ring, then she pressed down on her Wizard Driver’s left Shift Lever. [TOUCH TO ADVANCE YOUR CLASS!] She scanned her left glove over her Wizard Driver’s Hand Author. [ADVANCE PLEASE!] Symbol held out her left glove and the advance magic circle appeared before moving through her. Transforming Symbol into the Advance Style, as well as knocking the Wisp Phantom back.

Symbol pressed down on her Wizard Driver’s left Shift Lever twice. [TOUCH TO CAST THE NEXT LEVEL!] Then she scanned her left glove over her Wizard Driver’s Hand Author as the Wisp Phantom recovered. [ADVANCE B TIER SPELL!] The rectangle in Symbol’s left forearm guard released yellow particles that gathered around her elbow. Suddenly, Symbol vanished in a blur of speed and appeared behind the Phantom as she brought her elbow around and slammed it into the Phantom’s back. Sparks exploded as the Wisp Phantom shifted into its gas form a second too late.

The Wisp Phantom recovered and phased at Symbol, bringing its forearm blades around cutting a small line of sparks from her chestplate before it was punched in the face and sent flying backwards.

Symbol winced as a blast of pain tore through her helmet and pressed down on her Wizard Driver’s left Shift Lever once. [TOUCH TO CAST THE NEXT LEVEL!] The Wisp Phantom phased at Symbol as she scanned her left glove over her Wizard Driver’s Hand Author. [ADVANCE C TIER SPELL!] The rectangle in her left forearm guards emitted yellow magical energy that gathered around her right fist. Just as the Wisp Phantom turned solid, Symbol belted it in the gut. The energy on her fist was fired forwards in a beam of yellow magical energy that erupted out of the Wisp Phantom’s back. The Phantom fell to the floor with sparks exploded from the beam’s entrance and exit points as microexplosions went off around it.

Before Symbol could finish it off, the Wisp Phantom transformed into smoke and phased around behind Symbol. She turned around, just in time to get punched in the faceplate and then kneed in the stomach. The Wisp Phantom brought up both of its arms, clasped its hands together and brought them down on Symbol’s backplate. She was smashed into the ground, forming a crater.

Symbol felt another blast of pain tear through her helmet as she jumped back up and pressed her Wizard Driver’s left Shift Lever once. [TOUCH TO CAST THE NEXT LEVEL!] Then Symbol scanned her left glove over her Wizard Driver’s Hand Author as the rectangle in her right forearm guards emitted yellow particles. [ADVANCE C TIER SPELL!] The particles gathered around her left fist as Symbol uppercutted the Wisp Phantom in the chin. Only for it to turn back into gas.

Symbol stiffened as the outside of her visors turned grey while the inside of them stayed yellow. She pressed down on her Wizard Driver’s left Shift Lever once. [TOUCH TO CAST THE NEXT LEVEL!] Then she scanned her left glove over her Wizard Driver’s Hand Author as the rectangle in her right forearm guard emitted yellow particles. [ADVANCE C TIER SPELL!] The energy gathered around her right forearm as Symbol pulled back her right glove and punched at the Wisp Phantom, making a beam of yellow magical energy shot out of her fist.

The Wisp Phantom turned into its gas form and flew at Symbol, turning solid as it grabbed her helmet and slammed her into the ground before it kicked her in the ribs and slashed with both of its forearm blades.

Symbol pressed down on her Wizard Driver’s left Shift Lever twice. [TOUCH TO CAST THE NEXT LEVEL!] Then she scanned her left glove over her Wizard Driver’s Hand Author as the orbs on her shoulder pauldrons started to emit yellow particles. [ADVANCE B TIER SPELL!] Symbol lunged forwards as the energy covered her arms. She lashed out, trying to bury her elbows into the Wisp Phantom’s body. Only for it to block the first blow with its forearm blades while phasing through the second blow. Then Symbol ended the combo by jumping into the air and bringing both of her forearms down on the Wisp Phantom’s shoulders, only for it to phase through them.

The Wisp Phantom reappeared and started to spin at a high speed as it approached Symbol.

Who pressed down on her Wizard Driver’s left Shift Lever three times. [TOUCH TO CAST THE NEXT LEVEL!] Then she scanned her left glove over her Wizard Driver’s Hand Author as particles of yellow magical energy were leaked from the rectangles in her shin guards. [ADVANCE A TIER SPELL!] The yellow magical energy gathered around Symbol’s fists as she thrust both of them forwards towards the Wisp Phantom. Only for it to completely overpower her. Sparks flew from her body as the Wisp Phantom forced her arms away and slashed at her chest plate several dozen times while it was spinning. Micro Explosions went around Symbol and in a large explosion, she was sent flying back and smashed into a wall. She fell to the ground as her Advance Style dispelled, leaving her in the Active Style, no longer able to remain intact after the amount of damage that it just took.

“Unbelievable!” shouted Symbol in anger. “It was able to force me out of my Advance Style!” suddenly, the Wisp Phantom grabbed her by the neck and pulled Symbol up as it pulled back its right hand. “This is gonna hurt!” muttered Symbol as the Wisp Phantom threw its fist forwards. All of a sudden, there was a flash of bright light from Symbol’s left glove that threw the Wisp Phantom backwards.

Symbol landed on her boots and looked at the new Ring on her left ring finger, she noted that the Advance Ring had moved to her left index finger. The Ring was grey with a yellow framework and the gem was red with the numbers 01 engraved into it. “Let’s hope this works!” muttered Symbol as she pressed down on her Wizard Driver’s left Shift Lever. [TOUCH TO ADVANCE YOUR CLASS!] Then she scanned her left glove over her Wizard Driver’s Hand Author. [ADVANCE BREAKER PLEASE!] Symbol held out her left glove in front of her as two magic circles appeared, the first was the advance magic circle but the second was new.

The second magic circle was a grey X inside a red B, inside a yellow eight-pointed star, which was inside a yellow two layered circle with red runic text between the two layers. The magic circles moved through Symbol. First, she was transformed into the Advance Style, then the second magic circle moved over her and changes happened. The orbs in her shoulder pauldrons and the rectangles in her forearm and shin armour shifted from yellow to red. The upper right circle on Symbol’s robe turned red as the robe opened, revealing a silver chestplate with a yellow circle in the middle. The circle changed from yellow to red as it displayed the numbers 01 in black.

She was now Kamen Rider Symbol, Advance Breaker Style.

“Ok, now this is cool!” commented Symbol as she looked down at her body.

The Wisp Phantom roared in anger as it transformed into smoke and charged at Symbol.

“Nice try!” Symbol pressed down on her Wizard Driver’s left Shift Lever once. [TOUCH TO CAST THE NEXT LEVEL!] Then she scanned her left glove over her Wizard Driver’s Hand Author. [ADVANCE BREAKER C TIER SPELL!] The rectangle on the back of her left forearm guards emitted red particles that gathered around Symbol’s fist. She punched forwards and her fist slammed into the Wisp Phantom’s head, making contact even though the Phantom was still in its smoke form. Sparks exploded from the Wisp Phantom as it was sent flying backwards and forced back into its solid state.

“So I can hit Phantom’s with phasing abilities?!” shouted Symbol. “Yes!”

The Wisp Phantom recovered and roared, charging at Symbol, slashing her across the chest plate with its arm blades. A storm of sparks came from Symbol’s chest plates from each of the slashes.

“Argh!” shouted Symbol. “That hurt a lot more than normal. So I guess for increased attacking power, I lose a bit of defence,” she muttered as she pressed down on her Wizard Driver’s left Shift Lever twice. [TOUCH TO CAST THE NEXT LEVEL!] Then she scanned her left glove over her Wizard Driver’s Hand Author as the rectangle in her right forearm guard started to emit red magical energy. [ADVANCE BREAKER B TIER SPELL!] It gathered around Symbol’s fist as she threw it forwards and slammed it into the Wisp Phantom’s chin, shooting it up into the air.

While the Wisp Phantom was in the air and stunned, Symbol jumped up after it and pressed down on her Wizard Driver’s left Shift Lever three times. [​TOUCH TO CAST THE NEXT LEVEL!​] Then she scanned her left glove over her Wizard Driver’s Hand Author. [​ADVANCE ​BREAKER​ A TIER SPELL!​] The rectangle on her right forearm guard emitted particles of red magical energy that gathered around Symbol’s right glove. She punched downwards, sending the Wisp Phantom shooting down like a meteor, it impacted the ground and kicked up a cloud of dust.

Symbol landed back on the ground and saw the badly injured Wisp Phantom get back up and phase towards her. “Final!” Symbol pressed her Wizard Driver’s left Shift Lever four times. [TOUCH TO CAST THE NEXT LEVEL! VERY NICE!] Then she swiped her left glove over her Wizard Driver’s Hand Author. [ADVANCE BREAKER S TIER SPELL! THE BEST!] Red magical energy swirled inwards around her right glove. “Breaker Impact!” shouted Symbol as she pulled back her fist and punched the Wisp Phantom in the face. Sparks exploded out of the impact point as red lightning crackled over the Wisp Phantom’s body before it exploded.

The barrier came down as Symbol switched her Advance and Breaker Rings for the Active Ring, then pressed down on her Wizard Driver’s left Shift Lever. [MAGICAL TOUCH HENSHIN!] Symbol scanned her left glove over her Wizard Driver’s Hand Author. [ACTIVE PLEASE!] “At least I got a new Ring out of that,” Symbol held her left glove out to the side and the active magic circle appeared. [LET’S GO!] It moved through Symbol, transforming her into the Active Style.

She ran out of the room and took a right turn. She ran through a door and arrived outside the mansion, in front of her was a light blue energy orb.

“Sunset, my daughter. You’re, you’re dead!” came Eva’s voice from the orb. 

“Nice to hear from you too Mom,” hissed Symbol as she clutched her side in pain, all of that fighting had just increased the damage from the singularity. 

“You’re trapped here, just like me! But you can still escape, you still have a chance. The light! Find the light and get out of here!” instructed Eva as her voice faded away.

“The light? OK,” replied Symbol. 

She ran to the left when a Blade Phantom burst from the ground. “Oh please,” muttered Symbol. She pressed down on her Wizard Driver’s left Shift Lever once. [MAGICAL TOUCH GO!] Then she scanned her left glove over her Wizard Driver’s Hand Author. [ACTIVE! C RANK SPELL!] Red lightning covered her left palm as Symbol used the Active Blade to deflect the Blade Phantom’s sword. She slammed her left palm into its chest, there was a flash of red lightning as the Phantom was sent flying backwards and exploded.

Then, as another pair of Blade Phantom approached, Symbol slammed her glove down on her Wizard Driver’s left Shift Lever three times. [MAGICAL TOUCH GO!] She scanned her left glove over her Wizard Driver’s Hand Author as the Blade Phantom’s pulled back their blades. [ACTIVE! A RANK SPELL!] Red lightning covered her body as Symbol threw her arms out to the side, unleashing a burst of lightning that threw both of the Blade Phantom’s backwards with sparks coming from their bodies before they exploded.

Sensing something, Symbol added the Boost and Bind Rings to her right glove before pressing down on her Wizard Driver’s right Shift Lever. [MAGIC TOUCHIE HENSHIN!] She aligned her right glove with her Wizard Driver’s Hand Author. [BOOST BIND PLEASE!] Then she held her right glove out to the side. “Nice try!” the two magic circles appeared and knocked the pair of Blade Phantoms, which had been about to attack her from behind, away from her.

As the two Blade Phantom’s got back up, Symbol pressed down on her Wizard Driver’s right Shift Lever twice. [MAGIC TOUCHIE GO!] She scanned her right glove over her Wizard Driver’s Hand Autor as the two Blade Phantom’s charged at her. [BIND MAGIC PLEASE!] Symbol spun around and kicked out, firing an orange chain construct that pierced through one of the Blade Phantoms before looping back around and doing the same to the second Blade Phantom.

As they both exploded, Symbol jumped into the air. A Blade Phantom had just slashed at the place where she had been standing. Symbol backflipped over the Blade Phantom and landed on the ground as she slammed down on her Wizard Driver’s right Shift Lever once. [MAGIC TOUCHIE GO!] She scanned her right glove over her Wizard Driver’s Hand Author, firing an orange chain construct at the Blade Phantom. [BOOST MAGIC PLEASE!] The chain construct wrapped around the Phantom and pulled it back towards Symbol. The Blade Phantom was then kicked over the edge of the island and into the endless drop. The Phantom exploded shortly after.

Then Symbol glanced over her shoulder and saw five Blade Phantom’s jump out of the ground. “This is getting silly,” she pressed down on her Wizard Driver’s left Shift Lever four times. [MAGICAL TOUCH GO! VERY NICE!] Symbol scanned her left glove over her Wizard Driver’s Hand Author as red lightning crackled over the Boost Locks. [ACTIVE! S RANK SPELL! THE BEST!] Symbol kicked out, firing a chain construct that was made of red lightning. “Spike Chain!” shouted Symbol as the chain branched off into five lightning bolts that tore through all five of the Blade Phantom’s. The red lightning crackled over their bodies for a second before they exploded.

“Whoa!” Symbol ducked under a blade from the next Blade Phantom that passed through the place where her neck had just been. The Blade Phantom swung its blade down at her as Symbol pressed her Wizard Driver’s left Shift Lever twice. [MAGICAL TOUCH GO!] Then she scanned her left glove over her Wizard Driver’s Hand Author. [ACTIVE! B RANK SPELL!] Red lightning covered her arms as she crossed them over her faceplate and blocked the sword. The lightning surged up the sword and into the Blade Phantom causing it to explode.

Symbol switched the Boost Ring for the Ice Ring and pressed down on her Wizard Driver’s right Shift Lever. [MAGIC TOUCHIE HENSHIN!] She scanned her right glove over her Wizard Driver’s Hand Author as five more Blade Phantom’s burst from the ground. [ICE BIND PLEASE!] Symbol held her right glove out to the side and the ice magic circle appeared before moving through her, transforming her into the Active Ice Bind Style.

Symbol pressed her Wizard Driver’s right Shift Lever twice. [MAGIC TOUCHIE GO!] Then she scanned her right glove as three Blade Phantoms ran at her. [BIND MAGIC PLEASE!] Symbol threw the Grapple Gauntlet forwards and fired an orange chain construct made of magical energy. It shot forwards and wrapped around all five of the Blade Phantom’s. Symbol dug her boots into the ground and spun around, swinging the tied up Phantoms around in a circle before she hurled them over the edge of the island and into the endless drop where they exploded after a few seconds.

“Argh!” Symbol was slashed across her backplate by another Blade Phantom and fell down to one knee guard as red lightning crackled over her body. “BACK OFF!” Symbol lashed out and kicked the Blade Phantom with her left boot. The Phantom was sent flying, but luckily for it, it smashed into a tree.

The Phantom got up and started to run at Symbol once more. She pressed down on her Wizard Driver’s right Shift Lever once. [MAGIC TOUCHIE GO!] Then she scanned her right glove over her Wizard Driver’s Hand Author. [ICE MAGIC PLEASE!] The Icy Bracer was covered in frost as Symbol slammed it into the ground. The floor under her boots flash froze. The Blade Phantom flailed its arms as it slipped and fell over. It slid around and over the edge of the island into the endless drop. About ten seconds later an explosion sounded off.

Then Symbol saw another three Blade Phantoms running at her. She pressed down on her Wizard Driver’s left Shift Lever four times. [MAGICAL TOUCH GO! VERY NICE!] Then she scanned her right glove over her Wizard Driver’s Hand Author as red lightning arched over both of her arms. [ACTIVE! S RANK SPELL! THE BEST!] Symbol clasped her gloves together and slammed them into the ground. Out of which burst spiked chains made of red ice. They surrounded the Blade Phantom’s in a circle. “Ice Chain!” before they spread through the Phantom’s. Sparks flew from their bodies until the three Blade Phantoms exploded.

Symbol noticed another Blade Phantom running at her and switched the Active Ring for the Swift Ring before she pressed down on her Wizard Driver’s left Shift Lever. [MAGICAL TOUCH HENSHIN!] Then Symbol scanned her left glove and the Swift Ring over her Wizard Driver’s Hand Author.

C RANK SPELL!] Symbol crossed her right arm over her chestplate, then swung it to the side, out of it came five orbs of yellow magical energy that shot forwards and slammed into the Blade Phantom. It was sent flying backwards before it exploded.

Symbol looked around and saw that there was another Blade Phantom running towards her as she pressed down on her Wizard Driver’s left Shift Lever three times. [MAGICAL TOUCH GO!] Then she scanned her left glove over her Wizard Driver’s Hand Author. [SWIFT! A RANK SPELL!] Symbol joined her thumbs and index fingers in a triangle shape. Yellow magical energy built up between them and was fired forwards in a beam that slammed into the Blade Phantom and caused it to explode.

Suddenly, the final Blade Phantom slashed Symbol across the backplate. “ARGH!” she pressed her Wizard Driver’s left Shift Lever twice. [MAGICAL TOUCH GO!] Then she scanned her left glove over her Wizard Driver’s Hand Author. [SWIFT! B RANK SPELL!] Symbol was covered in yellow magical energy as she sped at the Blade Phantom and threw it over the edge of the island causing it to explode.

Symbol used her increased speed to run to the edge of the island and jump to the next island, kicking another Blade Phantom into the endless drop in the process. “I just switched too!” Symbol switched the Swift Ring for the Active Ring, then pressed down on her Wizard Driver’s left Shift Lever. [MAGICAL TOUCH HENSHIN!] She scanned her left glove over her Wizard Driver’s Hand Author. [ACTIVE PLEASE!] Symbol held her left glove out to the side and the active magic circle appeared and moved through her. [LET’S GO!] Transforming Symbol into the Active Style.

Symbol pressed down on her Wizard Driver’s right Shift Lever twice. [MAGIC TOUCHIE GO!] Then she scanned her right glove over her Wizard Driver’s Hand Author as she threw the Grapple Gauntlet forwards. [BIND MAGIC PLEASE!] The Grapple Gauntlet fired an orange chain construct that shot through the air and latched onto the island, pulling it closer. Symbol jumped to the island, then to a second island. She leapt to a third island before coming to a gap that was too big to jump across.

“Oh come on!” shouted Symbol as she switched the Active Ring for the Swift Ring then she pressed down on her Wizard Driver’s left Shift Lever. [MAGICAL TOUCH HENSHIN!] She scanned her left glove over her Wizard Driver’s Hand Author.

[MAGIC TOUCHIE GO!] Symbol scanned her right glove over her Wizard Driver’s Hand Author right as she jumped. [ZOOMER MAGIC PLEASE!] The Speed Wings ignited and sent Symbol zooming over the gap. She landed on her boots and took off running.

“This is getting stupid!” shouted Symbol as she switched the Swift Ring for the Active Ring and pressed down on her Wizard Driver’s left Shift Lever. [MAGICAL TOUCH HENSHIN!] Then she scanned her left glove over her Wizard Driver’s Hand Author. [ACTIVE PLEASE!] She held her left glove out to the side as the active magic circle appeared.

Then Symbol pressed down on her Wizard Driver’s right Shift Lever twice. [MAGIC TOUCHIE GO!] She scanned her right glove over her Wizard Driver’s Hand Author as she threw the Grapple Gauntlet forwards. [BIND MAGIC PLEASE!] The Grapple Gauntlet fired an orange chain construct that pierced through an island that Symbol dragged closer.

“At least it’s not a complete style change,” muttered Symbol as she jumped to the island and switched the Ice Ring for the Boost Ring before pressing down on her Wizard Driver’s right Shift Lever. [MAGIC TOUCHIE HENSHIN!] She scanned her right glove over her Wizard Driver’s Hand Author. [BOOST BIND PLEASE!] Symbol held her right glove out to the side, the boost magic circle appeared and moved through her.

She pressed her Wizard Driver’s right Shift Lever once. [MAGIC TOUCHIE GO!] Then she scanned her right glove over her Wizard Driver’s Hand Author. [BOOST MAGIC PLEASE!] Symbol slammed her left Boost Lock into the ground as she dashed forwards and jumped up to a rock, before leaping off it and back into the mansion.

“I’m getting closer to that orb,” Symbol groaned as she saw the next island was too far to jump. She switched the Active Ring for the Swift Ring and pressed down on her Wizard Driver’s left Shift Lever. [MAGICAL TOUCH HENSHIN!] Symbol scanned her left glove over her Wizard Driver’s Hand Author. [SWIFT PLEASE!] She held the Swift Ring into the air and the swift magic circle appeared over her helmet and fell through her. [DASH AWAY!] Transforming Symbol into the Swift Style.

Symbol added the Wing and Sniper Rings to her right glove, before pressing down on her Wizard Driver’s right Shift Lever. [MAGIC TOUCHIE HENSHIN!] Then she scanned her right glove over her Wizard Driver’s Hand Author. [WING SNIPER PLEASE!] She held her right glove into the air as the two magic circles appeared and fell through her. 

Then she pressed down on her Wizard Driver’s right Shift Lever once. [MAGIC TOUCHIE GO!] Symbol scanned her right glove over her Wizard Driver’s Hand Author as she ran to the edge of the mansion and jumped. [WING MAGIC PLEASE!] Spreading and locking the Flight Wings, Symbol glided down to the next island.

At that moment several Icarus Phantom’s appeared in the air. “Not you lot again!” shouted Symbol as she pressed down on her Wizard Driver’s right Shift Lever twice. [MAGIC TOUCHIE GO!] Symbol spread the Flight Wings as she scanned her right glove over her Wizard Driver’s Hand Author. [SNIPER MAGIC PLEASE!] Symbol flapped the Flight Wings and fired a barrage of dart like feathers. Micro-explosions went off around the Icarus Phantom’s before they exploded.

Then Symbol let the Sniper Shooter materialize as she pressed down on her Wizard Driver’s left Shift Lever four times. [MAGICAL TOUCH GO! VERY NICE!] She scanned her left glove over her Wizard Driver’s Hand Author as yellow magical energy started to channel up the barrel of the Sniper Shooter. [SWIFT! S RANK SPELL! THE BEST!] Symbol took aim and fired a pillar sized beam that was comprised of yellow feather constructs. “Sniper Sun!” they slammed into several of the Icarus Phantom’s and caused them to explode.

Symbol took flight, avoiding a bomb from a Valkyrie Phantom as she pressed her Wizard Driver’s right Shift Lever once. [MAGIC TOUCHIE GO!] She scanned her right glove over her Wizard Driver’s Hand Author as silver light started to collect around her Flight Wings. [WING MAGIC PLEASE!] Symbol flew around in a circle, her Flight Wings left trails of silver light as they cut through five of the Valkyrie Phantoms.

Symbol landed back on the ground as she switched the Sniper Ring for the Blade Ring, then she struck her Wizard Driver’s right Shift Lever. [MAGIC TOUCHIE HENSHIN!] Symbol scanned her right glove over her Wizard Driver’s Hand Author then held it up into the air. [WING ZOOMER PLEASE!] The zoomer magic circle appeared and fell through Symbol.

Five Icarus Phantom’s took aim and fired their crossbows at Symbol, who pressed her Wizard Driver’s right Shift Lever twice. [MAGIC TOUCHIE GO!] She scanned her right glove over her Wizard Driver’s Hand author just before the crossbow bolts were able to hit her. [ZOOMER MAGIC PLEASE!] Symbol vanished and appeared on the other side of the island, after a second the delay on the five hundred punches she had delivered ended. All five Icarus Phantom’s exploded.

Then Symbol switched the Wing Ring for the Turbo Ring and pressed down on her Wizard Driver’s right Shift Lever. [MAGIC TOUCHIE HENSHIN!] She scanned her right glove over her Wizard Driver’s Hand Author as three Peryton Phantom’s appeared in the air. [TURBO ZOOMER PLEASE!] Symbol held her right glove into the air and the turbo magic circle appeared before falling through her, blocking three lightning bolts in the process.

Then Symbol pressed her Wizard Driver’s right Shift Lever twice. [MAGIC TOUCHIE GO!] She scanned her right glove over her Wizard Driver’s Hand Author. [ZOOMER MAGIC PLEASE!] Then vanished as three more lightning bolts slammed into the ground where she had just been standing. The Peryton Phantom’s looked confused.

Symbol appeared behind them and leapt towards the Peryton Phantom’s as she pressed down on her Wizard Driver’s right Shift Lever once. [MAGIC TOUCHIE GO!] She scanned her right glove over her Wizard Driver’s Hand Author as the left Turbo Gauntlet started up. [TURBO MAGIC PLEASE!] The Peryton Phantom’s turned around just in time for all of them to get punched across the face by Symbol's left hook. Sparks exploded out of all three Phantom’s before each of them went up in an explosion.

At that moment another five Peryton Phantom’s appeared in the air. Symbol pressed down on her Wizard Driver’s left Shift Lever four times. [MAGICAL TOUCH GO! VERY NICE!] Then she scanned her left glove over her Wizard Driver’s Hand Author. [SWIFT! S RANK SPELL! THE BEST!] Yellow magical energy surrounded Symbol as the Turbine Gauntlet’s roared to life. “Zoomer Kick!” Symbol ran forwards and using the Turbine Gauntlet’s she boosted herself towards the Peryton Phantoms. Only for all five of them to fire bolts of lightning that combined into a massive lightning bolt. It slammed into Symbol and sent her crashing back into the ground as it overpowered her.

“It’s too dangerous to get close to them anymore!” shouted Symbol. Suddenly, a bright flash of light came from her left glove and when it cleared, the Swift Ring had been replaced by the Burst Ring. “It’s about time,” muttered Symbol fondly as she pressed her Wizard Driver’s left Shift Lever. [MAGICAL TOUCH HENSHIN!] Then Symbol scanned her left glove over her Wizard Driver’s Hand Author. [BURST PLEASE!] She held her left glove out to the side as the burst magic circle appeared behind her and moved through her. [CAST THE SPELL!] Transforming Symbol into the Burst Style as it blocked another beam of lightning.

Then Symbol pressed down on her Wizard Driver’s left Shift Lever once. [MAGICAL TOUCH GO!] She scanned her left glove over her Wizard Driver’s Hand Author. [BURST! C RANK SPELL!] Four sparks appeared in the air and shot forwards as they transformed into fireballs. They slammed into the Peryton Phantoms and caused each of them to explode.

Suddenly, Symbol looked up and saw three bombs being thrown at her by an equal number of Valkyrie Phantom’s. She pressed her Wizard Driver’s left Shift Lever three times. [MAGICAL TOUCH GO!] Then she scanned her left glove of her Wizard Driver’s Hand Author. [BURST! A RANK SPELL!] Symbol slammed her left palm on the ground and a wall of rock burst out of it, blocking the bombs, even though it cracked badly when they exploded.

“You’re not getting away with that!” Symbol pressed down on her Wizard Driver’s left Shift Lever twice. [MAGICAL TOUCH GO!] Then she scanned her left glove over her Wizard Driver’s Hand Author as frost started to appear out of the air. [BURST! B RANK SPELL!] Symbol thrust her left glove forwards and the frost turned into four shurikens made of ice that shot forwards and cut the Valkyrie Phantom’s in half, making all of them go up in explosions.

Sparks exploded from Symbol’s backplate as another crossbow bolt slammed into it. With a snarl, she added the Dust and Glass Rings to her right glove before pressing down on her Wizard Driver’s right Shift Lever. [MAGIC TOUCHIE HENSHIN!] Then she scanned her right glove over her Wizard Driver’s Hand Author. [DUST GLASS PLEASE!] Symbol held her right glove out to the side, the two magic circles appeared behind her and moved through her.

Then Symbol rolled to the side, avoiding another pair of crossbow bolts as she struck her Wizard Driver’s right Shift Lever twice. [MAGIC TOUCHIE GO!] She scanned her right glove over her Wizard Driver’s Hand Author as four more crossbow bolts came screaming towards her. [GLASS  MAGIC PLEASE!] A storm of glass appeared around Symbol, cutting the crossbow bolts to pieces and doing the same to the four Icarus Phantom’s that had been firing them at her.

Suddenly, three Shielded Icarus Phantom’s appeared in the air. Symbol pressed her Wizard Driver’s right Shift Lever twice. [MAGIC TOUCHIE GO!] Then she scanned her right glove over her Wizard Driver’s Hand Author as they loaded their crossbows. [DUST MAGIC PLEASE!] A bright flash of white light blasted out of Symbol’s body. The Shielded Icarus Phantom’s blind fired and ended up hitting each other with their crossbow bolts, destroying their shields.

“Now’s my chance!” Symbol pressed down on her Wizard Driver’s left Shift Lever four times. [MAGICAL TOUCH GO! VERY NICE!] Then she scanned her left glove over her Wizard Driver’s Hand Author as dust particles started to collect around her. [BURST! S RANK SPELL! THE BEST!] The particles transformed into four spears. “Glass Flash!” shouted Symbol as they speared through the Icarus Phantoms. Sparks came from the entrance and exit points before the Phantom’s exploded.

A Lesser Blade Phantom burst out of the ground and charged at Symbol. “Really?” muttered the Kamen Rider as she drew the Burst Wand and pulled on its thumb, opening its Hand Author. [COME ON A CAST SHAKE HANDS!] Then she scanned her left glove and the Burst Ring over the Burst Wand’s Hand Author. [BURST! CAST STRIKE!] A sphere of purple magical energy appeared on the tip of the Burst Wand. “Burst Beam!” Symbol fired a beam from the tip of the Burst Wand that swallowed the Lesser Blade Phantom until an explosion rippled through the area.

“Whoa!” shouted Symbol as a rock smashed into the side of the island she was on, making it start to break apart. “Not good!” she jumped to another island and ran to the edge of it as she pressed down on her Wizard Driver’s left Shift Lever four times. [MAGICAL TOUCH GO! VERY NICE!] Then Symbol scanned her left glove over her Wizard Driver’s Hand Author. [BURST! S RANK SPELL! THE BEST!] She vanished in a blast of purple magical energy and appeared on the other platform.

Symbol looked around and saw an island above her, but it was too high to teleport to and too far to jump. “Not this again!” Symbol switched the Burst Ring for the Active Ring and pressed her Wizard Driver’s left Shift Lever. [MAGICAL TOUCH HENSHIN!] Then Symbol scanned her left glove over her Wizard Driver’s Hand Author. [ACTIVE PLEASE!] She held her left glove out to the side as the active magic circle appeared to her left. [LET’S GO!] It moved through Symbol.

Symbol added the Boost and Bind Rings to her right glove before pressing down on her Wizard Driver’s right Shift Lever. [MAGIC TOUCHIE HENSHIN!] Then she scanned her right glove over her Wizard Driver’s Hand Author, before holding it out to the side. [BOOST BIND PLEASE!] The two magic circles appeared to her right and moved through Symbol as the dimension she was in started to shake again.

“This is bad!” shouted Symbol as she pressed down on her Wizard Driver’s right Shift Lever. [MAGIC TOUCHIE GO!] Then she scanned her right glove over her Wizard Driver’s Hand Author. [BOOST MAGIC PLEASE!] Purple magical energy ran into the Boost Locks as Symbol slammed them into the ground. There was a pulse of purple magical energy as Symbol jumped to the edge of the island.

Symbol jumped up to another island as it started to turn while the one she was on started to break apart. Symbol jumped up to another rock, then to a second rock. She kicked off the rock and dashed through the air towards a third rock. “Nailed it!” shouted Symbol as she jumped from that rock, into the light blue orb.

Only to find herself in front of the gate of Paradise.

“WHAT THE-?!” Symbol looked over her shoulder pauldron and then back at the gates. “How did-?!” she pointed at the gates and then back over her backplate. “When did-?!” she looked at the gates. “How-?!” she shouted. Taking a deep breath Symbol roared: “HOW DIFFERENT IS THIS PLACE?!” she screamed.

This was clearly one of the dimensions where directions were reversed and gravity had become wonky.

Which would explain the floating islands?

Symbol growled. “I hate these kinds of dimensions!” she stomped towards the gate of Paradise.

Only for them to slam shut.

“Of course!” Symbol threw up her arms in anger.

At that moment, Lesser Blade Phantom’s burst from the ground. “You lot again?!” shouted Symbol as she switched the Active Ring for the Burst Ring, then pressed down on her Wizard Driver’s left Shift Lever. [MAGICAL TOUCH HENSHIN!] Symbol scanned her left glove over her Wizard Driver’s Hand Author. [BURST PLEASE!] Then she held her left arm out to the side as the burst magic circle appeared behind her and moved through her. [CAST THE SPELL!] Transforming her into the Burst Style.

As five Lesser Blade Phantom’s surrounded her, she pressed down on her Wizard Driver’s left Shift Lever three times. [MAGICAL TOUCH GO!] Symbol scanned her left glove over her Wizard Driver’s Hand Author as the Lesser Blade Phantom’s leapt into the air. [BURST! A RANK SPELL!] She placed her left glove down on her ground and a wall broke from the ground, blocking the Lesser Blade Phantom’s from reaching the Kamen Rider.

Symbol added the Dust and Mirror Rings to her right glove and pressed down on her Wizard Driver’s right Shift Lever. [MAGIC TOUCHIE HENSHIN!] Then she scanned her right glove over her Wizard Driver’s Hand Author. [DUST MIRROR PLEASE!] Symbol held her right glove out to the side as the two magic circles appeared behind her and moved through her. Just as the Lesser Blade Phantom’s finished breaking down the wall and leapt at the Kamen Rider.

“No you don’t!” shouted Symbol as the Lesser Blade Phantoms charged at her. She pressed her Wizard Driver’s right Shift lever twice. [MAGIC TOUCHIE GO!] She scanned her right glove over her Wizard Driver’s Hand Author as the Phantom’s leapt at her. [MIRROR MAGIC PLEASE!] Symbol held up her right glove and a mirror appeared in front of her. The Lesser Blade Phantom’s slammed into the mirror, only to be sent flying backwards as their kinetic energy was reflected.

Then Symbol pressed down on her Wizard Driver’s right Shift Lever once. [MAGIC TOUCHIE GO!] She scanned her right glove over her Wizard Driver’s Hand Author just as the Lesser Blade Phantoms were haling themselves back to their feet. [DUST MAGIC PLEASE!] Dust collected around Symbol as the Lesser Blade Phantom’s charged. A cocoon of dust was formed around Symbol before exploding outwards and sending the Lesser Blade Phantom’s flying with micro explosions going off around them before each of them exploded.

Then Symbol pressed down on her Wizard Driver’s left Shift Lever as another Lesser Blade Phantom burst out of the ground and charged at her. [MAGICAL TOUCH GO! VERY NICE!] Symbol blocked the Phantom’s sword with her right glove and scanned her left glove over her Wizard Driver’s Hand Author. [BURST! S RANK SPELL! THE BEST!] She kicked the Phantom back and fired a spear made of dust from her right glove. “Dust Storm!” shouted Symbol as the spear split into five spears that pierced the Lesser Blade Phantom in five places before it exploded.

Suddenly, Symbol tensed as she dispelled her Burst Dust Mirror Style for her Burst Style and pressed down on her Wizard Driver’s left Shift Lever four times. [MAGICAL TOUCH GO! VERY NICE!] Then Symbol scanned her left glove over her Wizard Driver’s Hand Author. [BURST! S RANK SPELL! THE BEST!] A Lesser Blade Phantom thurst its sword at Symbol’s back, only for her to vanish in a blast of purple light. Symbol reappeared behind the Lesser Blade Phantom and got ready to attack.

Only for sparks to explode out of her backplate as she was attacked by an Icarus Phantom from behind. The Lesser Blade Phantom spun around and slashed Symbol across her robe. “Ok, that is it!” shouted Symbol as she pressed down on her Wizard Driver’s left Shift Lever once. [MAGICAL TOUCH GO!] The Icarus Phantom reloaded its crossbow as Symbol scanned her left glove over her Wizard Driver’s Hand Author. [BURST! C RANK SPELL!] Two sparks appeared in front of each of the Phantoms before they ignited into fireballs that slammed into the Icarus Phantom and the Lesser Blade Phantom. They exploded violently, along with the Phantoms.

Symbol glanced to her right as a pair of Lesser Blade Phantom’s broke through the ground. “Not again!” she switched the Mirror Ring for the Radiation Ring and pressed down on her Wizard Driver’s right Shift Lever. [MAGIC TOUCHIE HENSHIN!] The Lesser Blade Phantom’s charged as Symbol scanned her right glove over her Wizard Driver’s Hand Author. [DUST RADIATION PLEASE!] Symbol held her right glove out to the side as the two magic circles appeared before moving through her.

As the Lesser Blade Phantom’s got closer, Symbol pressed down on her Wizard Driver’s right Shift Lever twice. [MAGIC TOUCHIE GO!] Then she scanned her right glove over her Wizard Driver’s Hand Author. [RADIATION MAGIC PLEASE!] Symbol threw her right glove forwards and fired a cloud of green radiation. The Lesser Blade Phantom’s ran through it with no trouble, but the second they were clear of the cloud both of them exploded.

Symbol glanced over to her right. “Whoa!” ducking under a slash as a Blade Phantom attacked her. Symbol pressed down on her Wizard Driver’s left Shift Lever once as she rolled away from another slash. [MAGIC TOUCHIE GO!] Then she scanned her right glove over her Wizard Driver’s Hand Author as she backflipped away from a pair of slashes. [DUST MAGIC PLEASE!] Symbol held out her left glove as a green orb formed. “Take this!” Symbol ran forwards and rammed the orb into the Blade Phantom’s gut. It fired a beam of green energy through the Phantom sparks exploded from it before the Phantom itself exploded.

Symbol switched the Dust Ring for the Steam Ring and pressed her Wizard Driver’s right Shift Lever. [MAGIC TOUCHIE HENSHIN!] Then she scanned her right glove over her Wizard Driver’s Hand Author. [STEAM RADIATION PLEASE!] Symbol held out her right glove as the steam magic circle appeared behind her. It moved through her, transforming Symbol and knocking a pair of Blade Phantom’s back.

Both of the Blade Phantoms recovered swiftly and ran at Symbol, slashing at her with an X shaped slash. Symbol calmly pressed down on her Wizard Driver’s right Shift Lever once. [MAGIC TOUCHIE GO!] Before scanning her right glove over her Wizard Driver’s Hand Author. [STEAM MAGIC PLEASE!] Just as the swords were about to strike her, Symbol transformed into steam. Sparks exploded from the two Blade Phantoms as they were attacked by the blistering heat until both of them blew up.

Suddenly, an Icarus Phantom appeared in the air. Symbol gazed up as the Phantom and pressed her Wizard Driver’s right Shift Lever twice. [MAGIC TOUCHIE GO!] Then she scanned her right glove over her Wizard Driver’s Hand Author as the Phantom fired a crossbow bolt at her. [RADIATION MAGIC PLEASE!] Symbol held up her right glove and fired a green beam of energy that soared through the air and slammed into the Icarus Phantom after turning the crossbow bolt to ash. An explosion echoed through the area as the Phantom died.

Symbol drew the Burst Staff and used the shaft of it to catch the blades of four Lesser Blade Phantoms. “Not bad,” grunted Symbol as she struggled under the combined strength of the four Phantoms. “But not good enough!” she was able to pull on the thumb of the Burst Staff, opening its Hand Author. [COME ON A SPELL SHAKE HANDS] She scanned her left glove and the Burst Ring over the Burst Staff’s Hand Author. [BURST! SPELL STRIKE!] Symbol shoved the Lesser Blade Phantom’s off as four spears of purple magical energy appeared and zipped through the Phantoms. Causing each of them to explode.

At that moment three more Lesser Blade Phantom’s emerged from the ground. “Enough is enough!” shouted Symbol as she pressed her Wizard Driver’s left Shift Lever four times. [MAGICAL TOUCH GO! VERY NICE!] Symbol scanned her left glove over her Wizard Driver’s Hand Author as the Lesser Blade Phantom’s charged at her. [BURST! S RANK SPELL! THE BEST!] A ring of green energy appeared around the Lesser Blade Phantoms. “Radiation Burst!” commanded Symbol. The ring snapped inwards, cutting through all three of the Lesser Blade Phantoms, making all four halves explode.

“Is it over?” Symbol asked no one.

A Wisp Phantom appeared.

“Of course it isn’t!” grumbled Symbol as the Wisp Phantom hissed at her. “Why did one of you have to show up?!”

The Wisp Phantom hissed louder.

Symbol growled.

The Wisp Phantom phased at Symbol.

She quickly switched the Burst Ring for the Advance Ring and pressed down on her Wizard Driver’s left Shift Lever. [TOUCH TO ADVANCE YOUR CLASS!] Symbol rolled to the side, avoiding the Wisp Phantom as she scanned her left glove over her Wizard Driver’s Hand Author. [ADVANCE PLEASE!] She held her left glove out in front of her as the advance magic circle appeared and moved through her.

Seeing the Wisp Phantom turn towards her, Symbol pressed down on her Wizard Driver’s left Shift Lever once. [TOUCH TO CAST THE NEXT LEVEL!] The rectangle shaped emitter on her right forearm guard started to emit particles of yellow energy. Symbol winced in pain as she scanned her left glove over her Wizard Driver’s Hand Author. [ADVANCE C TIER SPELL!] The energy gathered around Symbol’s right glove as she punched it forwards. A beam of yellow magical energy was fired, it roared forwards and the Wisp Phantom was forced to transform back into its gas form.

This gave Symbol enough time to swap the Advance Ring to her left index finger, add the Advance Breaker Ring into her left ring finger and press down on her Wizard Driver’s left Shift Lever. [TOUCH TO ADVANCE YOUR CLASS!] Then Symbol scanned her left glove over her Wizard Driver’s Hand Author and held it out in front of her. [ADVANCE BREAKER PLEASE!] The advance breaker magic circle appeared in front of Symbol and moved back through her, transforming Symbol into the Advance Breaker Style.

Symbol gave a sigh of relief as she felt the pain in her helmet clear up. ‘Wiat a minute! I’m not in pain anymore?!’ she realised. “That means no more losing control!” cheered Symbol. Now she was finally on the same level as her brothers since she could now control her upgraded style.

The Wisp Phantom gave a hiss as it phased at Symbol, punching her in the chestplate and making sparks come from the impact before the Phantom spun around and threw a knee at her helmet.

Symbol staggered back from the punch but was able to raise her right forearm guard, blocking the knee. Symbol grabbed the Phantom’s leg and slammed it into the ground. 

Only for the Wisp Phantom to burst into smoke and then shift back to normal above Symbol. The Wisp Phantom came down with its left forearm blade aimed at Symbol’s back.

Sensing the attack coming, Symbol pressed her Wizard Driver’s left Shift Lever twice. [TOUCH TO CAST THE NEXT LEVEL!] Then she scanned her left glove over her Wizard Driver’s Hand Author as the emitter on her right forearm started to release red particles. [ADVANCE BREAKER B TIER SPELL!] The energy gathered around Symbol’s right fist as she spun around, letting the Wisp Phantom’s blade miss her by an inch, throwing an uppercut into the Wisp Phantom’s face. Sparks exploded from the impact as the Phantom was hurled back into the air.

As the Wisp Phantom fell back down to the ground, Symbol jumped into the air and pressed her Wizard Driver’s left Shift Lever three times. [TOUCH TO CAST THE NEXT LEVEL!] Then she scanned her left glove over her Wizard Driver’s Hand Author as the emitter on her right forearm guard started to emit red energy. [ADVANCE BREAKER A TIER SPELL!] Symbol covered her left glove in red energy as she came shooting down with a punch aimed at the Wisp Phantom. Her fist impact and sparks exploded from the Wisp Phantom’s gut as it was hit.

Suddenly, the Wisp Phantom slashed an X into Symbol’s chestplate. Sparks exploded as the Wisp Phantom turned around and kicked her in the gut, before delivering a rising knee kick to the bottom of her helmet.

“That hurt!” shouted Symbol as she pressed down on her Wizard Driver’s left Shift Lever once. [TOUCH TO CAST THE NEXT LEVEL!] Then she scanned her left glove over her Wizard Driver’s Hand Author. The emitter on both of her forearm guards started to emit red particles as the Wisp Phantom phased towards her. [ADVANCE BREAKER C TIER SPELL!] Symbol covered both of her gloves in red energy and as the Wisp Phantom turned solid once more she punched it in the gut with both of her energized gloves. Sparks exploded from the impact point as the Wisp Phantom was catapulted backwards.

The Wisp Phantom recovered quicker than Symbol would have thought it would. It phased towards her and did a flying kick as it turned solid once more. The Phantom grabbed Symbol and threw her into a wall before trapping her with its arm and punching her in the faceplate several times with its free fist.

While she was being punched, Symbol was able to press her Wizard Driver’s left Shift Lever four times. [TOUCH TO CAST THE NEXT LEVEL! VERY NICE!] Then she scanned her left glove over her Wizard Driver’s Hand Author as the emitters on her body started to leak red particles. [ADVANCE BREAKER S TIER SPELL! THE BEST!] Symbol swung her right fist at the Wisp Phantom as it was covered in ranging red magical energy. “Breaker Impact!” roared Symbol.

Only for the Wisp Phantom to phase out of the way and then phase back to its previous position, aiming to continue its assault.

Just as Symbol planned.

She pressed down on her Wizard Driver’s left Shift Lever twice. [TOUCH TO CAST THE NEXT LEVEL!] Then she scanned her left glove over her Wizard Driver’s Hand Author, just as the Wisp Phantom finisher phasing. [ADVANCE BREAKER B TIER SPELL!] Red magical energy collected around Symbol’s right glove as she threw an uppercut that struck the Wisp Phantom in the chin, sending it flying upwards with sparks coming from where Symbol’s fist had struck it.

The Wisp Phantom recovered in the air and transformed back into smoke before phasing at Symbol again.

Seeing this, Symbol pressed down on her Wizard Driver’s left Shift Lever three times. [TOUCH TO CAST THE NEXT LEVEL!] Then she scanned her left glove over her Wizard Driver’s Hand Author as the emitter on her left forearm guard started to emit red magical energy. [ADVANCE BREAKER A TIER SPELL!] The energy wrapped around Symbol’s right glove as she threw a downwards punch the impacted the Wisp Phantom’s face, sending it smashing into the ground and carving a long trench through it.

Symbol saw that the Wisp Phantom was still down and pressed her Wizard Driver’s left Shift Lever three more times. [TOUCH TO CAST THE NEXT LEVEL!] She scanned her left glove over her Wizard Driver’s Hand Author as the emitter on her right forearm guard started to emit red particles. [ADVANCE BREAKER A TIER SPELL!] Symbol pulled her right fist back as she jumped into the air and covered it in red magical energy. She went shooting down and slammed her fist into the Wisp Phantom's face, making a crater.

The Wisp Phantom kicked Symbol off and punched her in the faceplate before kneeing her in the gut. It spun around and kicked her away with sparks coming off her body.

Symbol landed on the ground and charged towards the Wisp Phantom as she pressed her Wizard Driver’s left Shift Lever once. [TOUCH TO CAST THE NEXT LEVEL!] Then she scanned her left glove over her Wizard Driver’s Hand Author as the emitter on her left forearm started to flow red particles. [ADVANCE BREAKER C TIER SPELL!] They gathered around her right fist as Symbol punched the Wisp Phantom in the face, sending it flying backwards.

The Wisp Phantom pulled itself out of the wall and with a look that could kill, phased back towards Symbol. It turned solid and punch her in the faceplate before grabbing her and slamming the Kamen Rider down on the ground several times over.

As she was being slammed into the ground, Symbol pressed her Wizard Driver’s left Shift Lever twice. [TOUCH TO CAST THE NEXT LEVEL!] Then she scanned her left glove over her Wizard Driver’s Hand Author as the emitter on her right forearm started to leak red magical energy. [ADVANCE BREAKER B TIER SPELL!] Symbol covered her right glove in red magical energy as she belted the Wisp Phantom in the face, sending it flying into the air.

The Wisp Phantom gave a loud roar as it transformed into smoke and phased down towards Symbol.

She pressed her Wizard Driver’s left Shift Lever once. [TOUCH TO CAST THE NEXT LEVEL!] Then she scanned her left glove over her Wizard Driver’s Hand Author as she spun around. [ADVANCE BREAKER C TIER SPELL!] Red magical energy blazed around Symbol’s right fist as she slammed it into the side of the Wisp Phantom’s face, sending it flying into another wall.

The Wisp Phantom got up and gave off a livid roar as it held up its hand and curled it into a fist. Blade smoke leaked over the fist as it was covered in a black glowing light that gave it a wrong feeling.

“Final,” muttered Symbol as she pressed down on her Wizard Driver’s left Shift Lever four times. [TOUCH TO CAST THE NEXT LEVEL! VERY NICE!] Then she scanned her left glove over her Wizard Driver’s Hand Author as the emitters on her body started to leak red particles. [ADVANCE BREAKER S TIER SPELL! THE BEST!] They wrapped around Symbol’s left fist as she charged.

The Wisp Phantom met her charge with one of its own.

Two fists roared with energy as they arched past each other and slammed into their wielder's opponent's faces.

“Breaker Impact!” shouted Symbol as energy roared and the two tried to overpower each other.

Symbol broke through as she twisted her boots into the ground. The Wisp Phantom was sent flying back with red lightning crackling over its body and micro-explosions going off around it until it exploded.

Symbol sighed into relief as she turned towards the gate of Paradise, which had opened.

“Sunset! Wait!” called out a familiar voice.

Symbol turned and saw. “Kate?!”

The young girl that Symbol had met several days ago was standing there.

“You're in danger!” shouted Kate.

“From what?!” demanded Symbol. [TWO!] She heard the sound of a familiar Driver behind her. [NEPHILIM SABER STRIKE!] Symbol spun around. [GO! KICK STRIKE!] Just in time to see a boot covered in blood red and light blue energy spin kicking towards her. Symbol threw up her left arm and was able to block the attack, getting sent skidding sideways in the process.

Symbol looked at the figure that had attacked her. “D-Dante?!” she stammered in shock.

It looked like Dante, but the Kamen Rider’s body was chalk white.

“You’re not Dante,” spat out Symbol as her visor narrowed.

“Hey, Sunset,” the fake Dante drew a Fake Rebellion Blade and pressed down on its trigger. [NEPHILIM SABER STRIKE!] Red and blue magical energy covered the sword as the Fake Dante dart forwards and slashed Symbol across her chestplate. Sparks came from the cut as Symbol was sent flying over the edge.

Her transforming deactivated in the process, transforming her back into Sunset Shimmer Sparda. 

“How does it feel sister?” asked the Fake Dante. “To be beaten again!” 

“One, you are not my brother!” shouted Sunset as she fell. If she was about to die then she’d go out with one last snarky comment. “Two, Dante has never beaten me in a fight!”
> Interlude 2
> --------------------------------------------------------------------------

*THUD!*

“...Why does this hurt more each time?” groaned Sunset from where she lay face down on the ground. She climbed back to her feet. “When I get my hands on that fake Dante and Kat. I’m gonna gut the both of them with the blunt side of the Active Blade!”

Suddenly, a white version of Vergil appeared in front of her. “Look at you,” he spat out.

“Who are you?” asked Sunset as she got back to her feet.

“You have failed. Your father gave you everything and now you have nothing,” stated the Fake Vergil.

“At least my brothers are still alive. I’d rather have nothing than either of them be dead!” shouted Sunset

“Everyone you care about, everyone you love has turned their backs on you. How does it feel?” asked the Fake Vergil

Sunset gave him a flat look. “Do I look stupid? You could at least get the colour right if you're going to copy Vergil. No one I care about turned their backs on me!”

The Vergil copy continued to drone on. “You can’t change the past. But what would you do if you had another chance?”

“The same thing!” suddenly Sunset’s world was consumed by a flash of light. 

When her eyes cleared, she saw she was outside a block of flats. “Now where am I? What was up with that copy?” looking to the right she saw Kate standing there. “Kate?” questioned Sunset, despite the fact she knew it wasn’t Kate. 

She turned to the Kamen Rider. “No, Sunset! Stay back!” 

Sunset heard a loud roar and saw a four-armed Phantom standing there. It turned and ran after Kate. 

Who fled. “Sunset, help me please!” 

That was enough for Sunset to forget this wasn’t Kat. “Kat! I’m coming!” 

A barrier blocked her way. 

“Of course!” shouted Symbol in anger.

Lesser Blade Phantoms started to burst out of the ground.

“Why am I not surprised that you lot showed up?!” shouted Sunset as she scanned her Driver On Ring over her belt buckle. [DRIVER ON!] A magic circle appeared over her belt buckle as it transformed into her Wizard Driver. [PLEASE!]

Then Sunset pressed down on her Wizard Driver’s left Shift Lever, making its Hand Author flip to the left. [MAGICAL TOUCH HENSHIN!] “Henshin!” shouted Sunset as she scanned her left hand and the Active Ring over her Wizard Driver’s Hand Author. [ACTIVE PLEASE!] Sunset held her left hand out to the side as the active magic circle appeared to her left. [LET’S GO!] Then it moved through her, transforming Sunset Shimmer Sparda into Kamen Rider Style Active Style.

Symbol drew the Active Blade and used it to block a pair of slashes from a pair of Lesser Blade Phantoms. Symbol pulled on the Active Blade’s thumb, opening its Hand Author. [COME ON A SLASH SHAKE HANDS!] Then Symbol scanned her left glove over the Active Blade’s Hand Author as red lightning arched up against the sharp side of the sword. [ACTIVE! SLASH STRIKE!] Red lightning crackled around the sword as Symbol knocked both of the Lesser Blade Phantom’s swords into the air. “Red Slash!” she slashed a red line into both of the Phantom’s making the both of them explode.

She added the Slasher and Aqua Rings to her right glove before pressing down on her Wizard Driver’s right Shift Lever. [MAGIC TOUCHIE HENSHIN!] Symbol scanned her right glove over her Wizard Driver’s Hand Author as a pair of Lesser Blade Phantom’s charged. [SLASHER AQUA PLEASE!] She held her right glove out to the side and the two magic circles appeared. They moved through Symbol, knocking both of the Lesser Blade Phantoms back.

As the two Lesser Blade Phantom’s got back up, Symbol pressed her Wizard Driver’s right Shift Lever twice. [MAGIC TOUCHIE GO!] Then she scanned her right glove over her Wizard Driver’s Hand Author as water started to gather around the Slasher Tidal Claws. [AQUA MAGIC PLEASE!] Then Symbol slashed down, firing a crescent of water from each of the Slasher Tidal Claws. The crescent cut through the pair of Lesser Blade Phantoms, carving a glowing blue slash through them before they exploded.

Symbol booted a Lesser Blade Phantom, that had been sneaking up behind her, in the chest and struck her Wizard Driver’s right Shift Lever once. [MAGIC TOUCHIE GO!] The Phantom staggered back as she scanned her right glove over her Wizard Driver’s Hand Author and red lightning started to crackle around the Slasher Tidal Claws. [SLASHER MAGIC PLEASE!] She slashed the Lesser Blade Phantom twice, carving three glowing red Xs into it. “Take that!” shouted Symbol as the Phantom fell over and exploded.

All of a sudden, a crossbow bolt slammed into Symbol’s shoulder pauldron, making her shout in pain. She glared up at the Icarus Phantom that had fired the bolt as she switched the Active Blade into the Active Rifle. “You’re not getting away with that!” Symbol pulled on the Active Rifle’s thumb and opened its Hand Author. [COME ON A SHOOTING SHAKE HANDS!] She scanned her right glove over the Active Rifle’s Hand Author as the Icarus Phantom reloaded. [ACTIVE! SHOOTING STRIKE!] Then she let red lightning build up on the end of the Active Rifle. “Red Bolt!” she pulled the trigger and fired the lightning in a bolt that turned the crossbow bolt to ash. It punched a hole through the Icarus Phantom and caused it to explode.

Seeing three Lesser Blade Phantom’s jump out of the ground, Symbol switched the Aqua Ring for the Bind Ring and pressed her Wizard Driver’s right Shift Lever. [MAGIC TOUCHIE HENSHIN!] Then she scanned her right glove and the two rings on it over her Wizard Driver’s Hand Author. [SLASHER BIND PLEASE!] Symbol held her right glove out to the side as the bind magic circle appeared. It moved over her, transforming Symbol as it knocked the three Lesser Blade Phantom’s back.

Symbol had her opening and struck her Wizard Driver’s right Shift Lever once. [MAGIC TOUCHIE GO!] She scanned her right glove and the Rings on it over her Wizard Driver’s Hand Author as green magical energy raced along the Slasher Restraint Claws. [SLASHER MAGIC PLEASE!] Symbol slashed downwards. “Ha!” the energy raced off the Slasher Restraint Claws and slammed into the three Lesser Blade Phantom’s cutting glowing green gashes into each of them before they exploded.

Then Symbol saw another pair of Lesser Blade Phantom’s running at her. “I’d better hold them still!” muttered the Kamen Rider as she struck her Wizard Driver’s right Shift Lever twice. [MAGIC TOUCHIE GO!] She aligned her right glove with her Wizard Driver’s Hand Author as the chains on the Slasher Restraint Claws glowed with orange magical energy. [BIND MAGIC PLEASE!] Symbol stabbed them into the ground, out of which shot six orange chains. They wrapped around the Lesser Blade Phantom’s then stabbed themselves into the ground to stop the Phantom’s from moving.

“At least I have a bit more time,” muttered Symbol as she switched the Slasher Ring for the Boost Ring, then she pressed her Wizard Driver’s right Shift Lever. [MAGIC TOUCHIE HENSHIN!] Symbol scanned her right glove over her Wizard Driver’s Hand Author, then held it out to the side. [BOOST BIND PLEASE!] The boost magic circle appeared to Symbol’s right and moved through her, transforming the Kamen Rider as the chain’s glow started to dim.

She took up a stance she pressed her Wizard Driver’s right Shift Lever twice. [MAGIC TOUCHIE GO!] Symbol started to turn as she scanned her right glove across her Wizard Driver’s Hand Author and the chains broke. [BIND MAGIC PLEASE!] From the Boost Locks came an orange chain. It followed the path of Symbol’s spin kick and slammed into the Lesser Blade Phantom’s from the side, throwing them over the edge of the platform.

Noting another Lesser Blade Phantom appearing, Symbol switched the Bind Ring for the Aqua Ring and slammed her glove down on her Wizard Driver’s right Shift Lever. [MAGIC TOUCHIE HENSHIN!] Then she held her right glove in front of her Wizard Driver’s Hand Author before throwing it out to the side. [BOOST AQUA PLEASE!] The aqua magic circle appeared toe Symbol’s right and she jumped through it, avoiding a downwards slash from the Lesser Blade Phantom.

She skidded to a halt as the transformation finish and slammed her right glove down on her Wizard Driver’s right Shift Lever once. [MAGIC TOUCHIE GO!] Symbol scanned her right glove over her Wizard Driver’s Hand Author as the Aqua Jets started to leak water. [BOOST MAGIC PLEASE!] She burst forwards as the Aqua Jets fired jets of water. The high-pressure water hitting the ground drove Symbol’s knee guard up as she slammed it into the Lesser Blade Phantom’s chin. The Phantom was sent flying into the air with sparks coming from its body before it exploded while still in the air.

All of a sudden, a bomb slammed into the ground, right next to Symbol’s right boot. “Oh no,” groaned Symbol as the bomb exploded and she was sent flying into the air. Back at the start of her journey, this would have hurt a lot. But she was much tougher and more durable now. Symbol had barely felt the explosion as she switched the Aqua Ring for the Defend Ring and pressed down on her Wizard Driver’s right Shift Lever. [MAGIC TOUCHIE HENSHIN!] She scanned her right glove over her Wizard Driver’s Hand Author before holding it out to the side. [BOOST DEFEND PLEASE!] The defend magic circle appeared to Symbol’s right and moved through her.

“Time to split!” shouted Symbol as five more bombs were thrown at her by the same amount of Valkyrie Phantom’s. She slammed her glove down on her Wizard Driver’s right Shift Lever. [MAGIC TOUCHIE GO!] Symbol held her right glove out to the side after scanned it over her Wizard Driver’s Hand Author. [BOOST MAGIC PLEASE!] A boost magic circle appeared in front of her glove before moving down under her boots. Symbol slammed the Boost Grieves into the ground as she jumped into the air, easily getting out of the blast range.

While still in the air, Symbol switched the Boost and Defend Rings for the Ice and Aqua Rings as she pressed her Wizard Driver’s right Shift Lever. [MAGIC TOUCHIE HENSHIN!] Symbol aligned her right glove over the Wizard Driver, then she held it out to the side. [ICE AQUA PLEASE!] The two magic circles appeared to Symbol’s right and moved through the Kamen Rider.

While she was still in the air, Symbol pressed her Wizard Driver’s left Shift Lever four times. [MAGICAL TOUCH GO! VERY NICE!] Then she scanned her left glove over her Wizard Driver’s Hand Author as frost started to gather around the Frozen Bracer. [ACTIVE! S RANK SPELL! THE BEST!] Symbol drew a circle of frost in the air which collapsed into her right glove, forming a sphere of ice. “Ice Grenade!” she hurled the sphere and it exploded. When the frost from the explosion cleared, all five of the Valkyrie Phantoms had been frozen. They fell to the ground and shattered.

“That was easy- whoa!” Symbol jumped to the side in alarm as five crossbow bolts pierced through the ground where she had just been standing. Symbol looked up and saw five Icarus Phantom’s hovering in the air. With a growl, Symbol slammed her right glove down on her Wizard Driver’s right Shift Lever once. [MAGIC TOUCHIE GO!] Then she scanned her right glove over her Wizard Driver’s Hand Author as frost gathered around the Frozen Bracer. [ICE MAGIC PLEASE!] Then she hurled her hand forwards and fired five sharp spikes of ice that shot through the air. Symbol dodge five more crossbow bolts as the spikes pierced through the Icarus Phantoms and caused them to explode.

The Kamen Rider heard more Phantom’s arriving and she saw three Peryton Phantom’s materialize in the air. “No, you don’t!” Symbol switched the Active Ring for the Burst Ring then slammed her glove down on her Wizard Driver’s left Shift Lever. [MAGICAL TOUCH HENSHIN!] She scanned her left glove over her Wizard Driver’s Hand Author. [BURST PLEASE!] Symbol held her left glove out to the side, the burst magic circle appeared behind her and moved through her. [CAST THE SPELL!]

The Peryton Phantom’s antlers started to spark with lightning as Symbol struck her Wizard Driver’s left Shift Lever twice. [MAGICAL TOUCH GO!] The Peryton Phantoms fired three lightning bolt as Symbol scanned her left glove and the Burst Ring over her Wizard Driver’s Hand Author. [BURST! B RANK SPELL!] She swiped her glove through the air as water particles gathered and froze over. They transformed into four shurikens of water that shot through the air and slammed into the lightning bolts. The shurikens cut through the lightning, but as they approached the Peryton Phantoms their progress was slowed until they melted from the electrical heat, just before hitting the Phantoms.

“Now’s my chance!” the Kamen Rider pressed down on her Wizard Driver’s left Shift Lever once more. [MAGICAL TOUCH GO!] The Peryton Phantoms had used up too much energy to stop her as she held her left glove over her Wizard Driver’s Hand Author. [BURST! C RANK SPELL!] Four sparks appeared in the air and transformed into fireballs. Symbol pointed at the three Peryton Phantoms and the fireballs shot forwards. They hit the Phantoms and exploded, taking out the three Peryton Phantoms.

Abruptly, Symbol was struck across the back by a sword. Sparks flew as Symbol fell onto her chestplate. She looked behind herself and saw a Blade Phantoms raising its sword. Symbol added the Dust and Glass Rings to her right glove before striking her Wizard Driver’s right Shift Lever. [MAGIC TOUCHIE HENSHIN!] She held her right glove over her Wizard Driver’s Hand Author as the Blade Phantom pulled back its sword. [DUST GLASS PLEASE!] She held her right glove out to the side and the two magic circles appeared, they moved through her and transformed Symbol.

The Blade Phantom swung its sword down as Symbol pressed her Wizard Driver’s right Shift Lever twice. [MAGIC TOUCHIE GO!] Then she scanned her right glove over her Wizard Driver’s Hand Author just before the sword could make contact with her chestplate. [GLASS  MAGIC PLEASE!] A bright flash of silver light blasted out of Symbol’s body. The Blade Phantom was blinded by the bright light and missed Symbol’s chestplate by less than half an inch.

[MAGIC TOUCHIE GO!] As the Blade Phantom’s sight returned it heard the sound of Symbol’s Wizard Driver. [DUST MAGIC PLEASE!] Just as its eyes cleared, it wished they hadn’t. A ring of sharp glass shards with their points inwards was circling the Blade Phantom. All at once, they thrust inwards, spearing the Blade Phantom in half a dozen different locations before it exploded.

Then Symbol switched the Dust Ring for the Steam Ring as two more Blade Phantom’s rose from the ground. She slammed her glove down on her Wizard Driver’s right Shift Lever once. [MAGIC TOUCHIE HENSHIN!] She scanned her right glove over her Wizard Driver’s Hand Author. [STEAM GLASS PLEASE!] She held her right glove out to the side as the steam magic circle appeared and moved through Symbol, right as she jumped to the side, avoiding a pair of blades.

Symbol pressed her Wizard Driver’s right Shift Lever twice. [MAGIC TOUCHIE GO!] She scanned her right glove over her Wizard Driver’s Hand Author and thrust it at the two Blade Phantoms. [GLASS  MAGIC PLEASE!] A spear of hot glass appeared from the ground and slammed into the two Blade Phantoms. Sparks exploded from their bodies as they were pierced and burned by the hot glass polearm.

“Final!” muttered Symbol as she pressed her Wizard Driver’s right Shift Lever once. [MAGIC TOUCHIE GO!] Symbol scanned her right glove over her Wizard Driver’s Hand Author as the two Blade Phantoms recovered. [STEAM MAGIC PLEASE!] Symbol waved her right glove and a ring of steaming hot glass formed around each of the Blade Phantom’s. She clenched her fist and the rings slammed closed, piercing the Blade Phantoms in multiple places, causing them to explode.

Symbol noticed that the barrier and come down and made a break for it before anymore Phantoms could show up. She ran through the archway that the barrier had been blocking and looked around. In front of Symbol were several islands that looked to have once been part of walkways or part of a construction site. She looked up and saw Kate being chased through an archway shaped portal by the four-armed Phantom. ‘How did she get up there so fast?’ Symbol mentally questioned. 

Shaking it off, Symbol switched the Burst Ring for the Active Ring and slammed her glove down on her Wizard Driver’s left Shift Lever. [MAGICAL TOUCH HENSHIN!] Then she scanned her left glove and the Active Ring over her Wizard Driver’s Hand Author. [ACTIVE PLEASE!] Symbol held her left glove out to the side as the active magic circle appeared to her left. [LET’S GO!] It moved through Symbol, transforming her from the Burst Style to the Active Style.

After which Symbol added the Boost and Bind Rings to her right glove before striking her Wizard Driver’s right Shift Lever. [MAGIC TOUCHIE HENSHIN!] She swiped her right glove over her Wizard Driver’s right Shift Lever. [BOOST BIND PLEASE!] Then she held her right glove out to the side as the two magic circle appeared and moved through her.

Then Symbol slammed her right glove down on her Wizard Driver’s right Shift Lever twice. [MAGIC TOUCHIE GO!] Once that was done, she scanned her right glove over her Wizard Driver’s Hand Author. [BIND MAGIC PLEASE!] Then she spun around, out of the right Boost Lock came an orange chain that speared through an island. Following through with the spin kick’s motion, Symbol dragged the island from right to left. “That should work,” with a jerk of her boot, the chain retracted.

Symbol jumped to the island and saw a ledge sticking out of a block of flats above her. “I need to get up there,” she struck her Wizard Driver’s right Shift Lever once. [MAGIC TOUCHIE GO!] Then she held her right glove over her Wizard Driver’s Hand Author. [BOOST MAGIC PLEASE!] Purple energy ran into the Boost Locks as Symbol leapt. She grabbed onto the ledge with her gloves and grunted as she flipped herself onto it.

Looking up, the Kamen Rider saw another island, that looked to be a flight of stars, floating above her. “I need that,” she slammed her glove upon her Wizard Driver’s right Shift Lever once. [MAGIC TOUCHIE GO!] Symbol stepped back with her right boot as she scanned her right glove across her Wizard Driver’s Hand Author. [BIND MAGIC PLEASE!] Symbol kicked up, firing an orange chain from her right Boost Lock. It shot into the air and stabbed into the island. Grunting with effort, Symbol pulled the island down and to the left so that it was in the gap she needed to jump.

Hoping to the island, Symbol ran up the stairs and found herself at a gap that was too big to jump. She looked around. “Nothing to pull into the gap,” she mumbled as she switched the Active Ring for the Swift Ring then pressed her Wizard Driver’s left Shift Lever. [MAGICAL TOUCH HENSHIN!] Symbol scanned her left glove over her Wizard Driver’s Hand Author. [SWIFT PLEASE!] She held her Swift Ring into the air as the swift magic circle appeared over her helmet and dropped through her. [DASH AWAY!]

Now in the Swift Style, the Kamen Rider added the Wing and Zoomer Rings to her right glove before hitting her Wizard Driver’s right Shift Lever. [MAGIC TOUCHIE HENSHIN!] She scanned her right glove over her Wizard Driver’s Hand Author. [WING ZOOMER PLEASE!] She held her right glove into the air as the two magic circles appeared before falling through her.

Symbol took a few steps back before running to the edge of the island as she pressed her Wizard Driver’s right Shift Lever twice. [MAGIC TOUCHIE GO!] She jumped into the air as she scanned her right glove over her Wizard Driver’s Hand Author. [ZOOMER MAGIC PLEASE!] The Speed Wings ignited, flying Symbol to the other side of the gap, letting her land safely.

Once she was over the gap, Symbol noted the next obstacle as she switched the Swift Ring for the Active Ring, then pressed her Wizard Driver’s left Shift Lever. [MAGICAL TOUCH HENSHIN!] She scanned her left glove and the Active Ring over her Wizard Driver’s Hand Author. [ACTIVE PLEASE!] Once her Wizard Driver had registered the Ring, Symbol held her left glove out to the side. [LET’S GO!] The active magic circle appeared to her left and moved through her, transforming Symbol.

Then she added the Boost and Aqua Rings to her right glove as she hit her Wizard Driver’s right Shift Lever once. [MAGIC TOUCHIE HENSHIN!] She scanned her right glove over her Wizard Driver’s Hand Author and held it out to the side. [BOOST AQUA PLEASE!] The two magic circles appeared to her right and moved through her.

Symbol took a running start as she hit her Wizard Driver’s right Shift Lever once. [MAGIC TOUCHIE GO!] Then she scanned her right glove over her Wizard Driver’s Hand Author. [BOOST MAGIC PLEASE!] Just as Symbol jumped, the Aqua Jets each fired four blasts of water and propelled her to a lamppost that stuck out of some rocks. Another blast of water sent Symbol to the next island.

She dashed for the portal when a swarm of flying Phantoms appeared from the air.

“Just great!” muttered Symbol as the battle started.

One of the Icarus Phantom’s fired a crossbow bolt at her that was dodged as Symbol switched the Active Ring for the Burst Ring, then pressed her Wizard Driver’s left Shift Lever. [MAGICAL TOUCH HENSHIN!] Then she jumped over another crossbow bolt as she scanned the Burst Ring across her Wizard Driver’s Hand Author. [BURST PLEASE!] She held her left glove out to the side as the burst magic circle appeared behind her. [CAST THE SPELL!] Then it moved through her, blocking a third crossbow bolt.

Seeing another crossbow bolt screaming towards her, Symbol pressed her Wizard Driver’s left Shift Lever three times. [MAGICAL TOUCH GO!] Then she scanned her left glove over her Wizard Driver’s Hand Author as the crossbow bolt drew closer. [BURST! A RANK SPELL!] Symbol slapped her left glove onto the ground and a burst magic circle appeared, out of which burst a wall of solid rock, blocking the bolt.

Now that she had some cover, Symbol added the Dust and Radiation Rings to her right glove and hit her Wizard Driver’s right Shift Lever. [MAGIC TOUCHIE HENSHIN!] Then she scanned her right glove over her Wizard Driver’s Hand Author. [DUST RADIATION PLEASE!] Symbol held her right glove out to the side as the two magic circle appeared behind her and moved through her.

The Icarus Phantom floated around the rock wall as Symbol struck her Wizard Driver’s right Shift Lever twice. [MAGIC TOUCHIE GO!] Then she scanned her right glove over her Wizard Driver’s Hand Author before holding it up as green magical energy collected within her palm. [RADIATION MAGIC PLEASE!] The Icarus Phantom reloaded its crossbow. “Take this!” Symbol threw her right glove forwards and the magical energy was fired in a column-sized beam. It washed over the Phantom and caused it to explode.

At that moment a pair of Shielded Valkyrie Phantoms appeared. Symbol drew the Burst Wand and pulled on its thumb, opening its Hand Author. [COME ON A CAST SHAKE HANDS!] She pointed the Burst Wand at the Phantom as she scanned her left glove over its Hand Author. [BURST! CAST STRIKE!] Purple magical energy gathered in front of the Burst Wand. “Burst Beam!” shouted Symbol as the magical energy was fired forwards in a giant beam. It slammed into the shields and drove the Phantoms back, after a few seconds cracks spread through the shield. Eventually, the shields both exploded, cancelling out the bream.

Symbol looked over her shoulder pauldron. “More of you?!” she demanded as she pressed her Wizard Driver’s right Shift Lever once. [MAGIC TOUCHIE GO!] She glared at the two Valkyrie Phantoms that had appeared as she scanned her right glove across her Wizard Driver’s Hand Author. [DUST MAGIC PLEASE!] Green magical energy gathered in front of her right palm, it formed into an orb as Symbol thrust it forwards. The orb fired multiple blasts of energy that pelted the two Valkyrie Phantom’s until the both of them exploded.

Suddenly, a pair of bombs rolled to a stop at Symbol’s boots. She glanced at the other two Valkyrie Phantoms. “I forgot about you two,” the bombs exploded, sending Symbol flying. “Nuts!” she saw that she had been sent flying over the edge by the twin explosions. Symbol pressed down on her Wizard Driver’s left Shift Lever four times as the Burst Dust Radiation Style dispelled, leaving her in the Burst Style. [MAGICAL TOUCH GO! VERY NICE!] Symbol scanned her left glove over her Wizard Driver’s Hand Author as purple magical energy started to gather around her. [BURST! S RANK SPELL! THE BEST!] Symbol was covered in the energy before in a bright flash of purple light, she vanished. In an identical flash of light, Symbol appeared back on the island.

Then, she transformed the Burst Wand into the Burst Staff as she pulled on its thumb, opening its Hand Author. [COME ON A SPELL SHAKE HANDS] She shook hands with the Burst Staff’s Hand Author as purple magical energy gathered in an orb on the top of it. [BURST! SPELL STRIKE!] The orb transformed into four spears of purple magical energy. “Burst Spears!” they shot forwards and stabbed through both of the Valkyrie Phantoms, making both of them explode.

Symbol gave a loud growl as a Wisp Phantom appeared out of thin air. “Not one of you again!” she changed the Burst Ring for the Advance Ring and pressed her Wizard Driver’s left Shift Lever. [TOUCH TO ADVANCE YOUR CLASS!] Then Symbol scanned her left glove over her Wizard Driver’s Hand Author before thrust in forwards as the Wisp Phantom phased at her. [ADVANCE PLEASE!] The advance magic circle appeared in front of Symbol, the Wisp Phantom slammed into it and was repelled. Then the magic circle moved back through Symbol, transforming her from the Burst Style to the Advance Style.

Seeing the Wisp Phantom phasing at her again, Symbol winced as she slammed her glove down on her Wizard Driver’s left Shift Lever twice. [TOUCH TO CAST THE NEXT LEVEL!] She scanned her left glove over her Wizard Driver’s Hand Author as the emitter on her right shoulder started to emit yellow particles. [ADVANCE B TIER SPELL!] They gathered around Symbol’s right elbow as she struck out, aiming to hit the Wisp Phantom in the face. Only for it to retreat away.

With the opening she had gotten, Symbol moved Advance Ring onto her left index finger and placed the Breaker Ring into her left ring finger before pressing down on her Wizard Driver’s left Shift Lever. [TOUCH TO ADVANCE YOUR CLASS!] Then Symbol scanned her left glove over her Wizard Driver’s Hand Author as the Wisp Phantom phased at her once more. [ADVANCE BREAKER PLEASE!] She held out her left glove and the breaker magic circle appeared in front of her before moving back through her.

Symbol had no time to do anything as the Wisp Phantom punched her in the faceplate, she staggered back with sparks coming from the injury.

‘That hurt a lot more than the blows from the other two Wisp Phantoms,’ Symbol thought as she pressed her Wizard Driver’s left Shift Lever once. [TOUCH TO CAST THE NEXT LEVEL!] She scanned her left glove over her Wizard Driver’s Hand Author as the Wisp Phantom phased at her again. [ADVANCE BREAKER C TIER SPELL!] The emitter on her right forearm emitted red particles as Symbol pulled back her fist and slammed it into the Phantom’s gut. Sparks exploded from the wound as the Wisp Phantom shrieked in pain from the force.

Suddenly, black magical energy covered the Wisp Phantom’s blade as it swung them, making a score of sparks shot out of Symbol’s chestplate. The Wisp Phantom slammed its fist into her abdomen, sending her flying back. It grabbed her by the boot and slammed her into the ground several times. Then it staddled her before punching her across the faceplate several times over.

While she was being beaten, Symbol pressed her Wizard Driver’s left Shift Lever twice. [TOUCH TO CAST THE NEXT LEVEL!] She managed to scan her left glove over her Wizard Driver’s Hand Author as the emitters started to leak red particles. [ADVANCE BREAKER B TIER SPELL!] With a surged of strength, Symbol was able to force the Phantom off her as she slammed her glowing red fist into its jaw, sending it shooting into the air as it screamed in pain.

The Wisp Phantom phased down at Symbol, slamming its knee into her chestplate and sending her flying into a rock. It phased over and punched Symbol in the abdomen, driving her into the rock. Then it repeated the process about five more times, each blow gaining a storm of sparks from Symbol’s body.

‘This Wisp Phantom is different from the other two that I’ve fought’, thought Symbol as she pressed her Wizard Driver’s left Shift Lever once. [TOUCH TO CAST THE NEXT LEVEL!] The Wisp Phantom charged its fist with black magical energy as Symbol scanned her left glove over her Wizard Driver’s Hand Author and covered her right fist with red magical energy. [ADVANCE BREAKER C TIER SPELL!] The two of them threw their fists forwards, bypassing each other and hitting their opponent in the cheek, sending them flying backwards.

Symbol panted as she pulled herself up to one knee. “I’m not going to last,” she muttered as the Wisp Phantom got back up with much more ease than she had. Suddenly, a blue light shone from her left glove. When it cleared, the Breaker Ring had been replaced with a new Ring. It was identical to the Breaker Ring, only the gem was dark blue and displayed the numbers zero two.

“This will be helpful,” Symbol pressed her Wizard Driver’s left Shift Lever once. [TOUCH TO ADVANCE YOUR CLASS!] Then she scanned her left glove over her Wizard Driver’s Hand Author and thrust it out in front of her. [ADVANCE BLOCKER PLEASE!] A new magic circle appeared, it was identical to the breaker magic circle, only it was coloured blue with the numbers zero two in the centre of it. It moved back through Symbol, transforming her into the new Advance Style.

It was identical to the Advance Style. Only the emitters were all coloured dark blue, the circle on her chestplate was also dark blue. In the centre of it was the numbers 02 in black while the upper left light on her robe had turned dark blue. The outside of the robe had also turned dark blue and become much thicker. “Kamen Rider Symbol, Advance Blocker Style!” announced Symbol.

The Wisp Phantom roared as it charged at Symbol, phasing towards her. “Nice try!” Symbol pressed down on her Wizard Driver’s left Shift Lever once. [TOUCH TO CAST THE NEXT LEVEL!] She scanned her left glove over her Wizard Driver’s Hand Author as the Wisp Phantom got closer. [ADVANCE BLOCKER C TIER SPELL!] Symbol held out her left glove and a shield of blue magical energy appeared in front of her. The Wisp Phantom kept charging onto to slam into the shield like a bug on a windscreen.

The Wisp Phantom roared as it phased around behind Symbol. Only for her to calmly slammed her glove down on her Wizard Driver’s left Shift Lever twice. [TOUCH TO CAST THE NEXT LEVEL!] She scanned her left glove over her Wizard Driver’s Hand Author as the Wisp Phantom charged black magical energy into its arm blades. [ADVANCE BLOCKER B TIER SPELL!] Right before the Wisp Phantom’s arm blade was able to make contact with Symbol, a circle shaped shield appeared, deflecting the attack.

The Wisp Phantom roared in rage as it turned into smoke that surrounded Symbol. “What on earth?” the Kamen Rider shouted in pain as she was struck across the chestplate and then kicked in the jaw guard. She pressed her Wizard Driver’s left Shift Lever once. [TOUCH TO CAST THE NEXT LEVEL!] Then she scanned her left glove over her Wizard Driver’s Hand Author as a blow to the leg brought her down to one knee. [ADVANCE BLOCKER C TIER SPELL!] The blue square shaped shield appeared in front of Symbol, only for another blow to strike her in the back.

“Let’s give this one a go!” she struck her Wizard Driver’s left Shift Lever three times. [TOUCH TO CAST THE NEXT LEVEL!] Symbol scanned her left glove over her Wizard Driver’s Hand Author right before she took a blow to the side of her helmet. [ADVANCE BLOCKER A TIER SPELL!] A blue magical energy shield wrapped around Symbol, blocking several blows that came from all sides. Then Symbol released the energy in a shockwave that dispelled the smoke and sent the Wisp Phantom flying with sparks coming from its body.

As the Wisp Phantom rolled along the ground, Symbol slammed her glove down on her Wizard Driver’s left Shift Lever four times. [TOUCH TO CAST THE NEXT LEVEL! VERY NICE!] Blue magical energy built up around her gloves as she aligned her left glove with her Wizard Driver’s Hand Author. [ADVANCE BLOCKER S TIER SPELL! THE BEST!] Symbol thurst both of her hands forwards. “Containment Cube!” just as the name of the move implied, a cube of blue magical energy appeared around the Phantom. It tried to phase out of the cube, but each attempt only ended with it getting shocked by its cell.

“Final!” Symbol switched the Blocker Ring for the Breaker Ring and pressed down on her Wizard Driver’s left Shift Lever. [TOUCH TO ADVANCE YOUR CLASS!] She scanned her left glove over her Wizard Driver’s Hand Author and held it out in front of her. [ADVANCE BREAKER PLEASE!] The breaker magic circle appeared in front of her and moved back through her.

As the Containment Cube started to weaken, Symbol slammed her glove down on her Wizard Driver’s left Shift Lever four times. [TOUCH TO CAST THE NEXT LEVEL! VERY NICE!] Then she scanned her left glove over her Wizard Driver’s Hand Author as the emitters started to leak red magical energy. [ADVANCE BREAKER S TIER SPELL! THE BEST!] It gathered around her left glove as Symbol clenched it into a fist. “Breaker Impact!” Symbol ran forwards and slammed her fist into the Containment Cube. Red magical energy mixed with blue magical energy, starting a deadly reaction that caused the clue to implode, destroying the Wisp Phantom.

“Few,” Symbol switched the Advance and Breaker Rings for the Active Ring, then she pressed her Wizard Driver’s left Shift Lever. [MAGICAL TOUCH HENSHIN!] She scanned her left glove over her Wizard Driver’s Hand Author. [ACTIVE PLEASE!] The Kamen Rider held her left glove out to the side. [LET’S GO!] The active magic circle appeared to her left and moved through her.

Symbol ran to the portal and jumped through it. For several seconds she found herself in a tunnel of blue light before skidding out of the other side of the portal “What a rush!” she cheered. Before wincing as she clutched her side.

Symbol took a left fork and added two Rings to her right glove before pressing her Wizard Driver’s right Shift Lever. [MAGIC TOUCHIE HENSHIN!] Then she aligned her right glove with her Wizard Driver’s Hand Author. [BOOST AQUA PLEASE!] She held her right glove out to the side as the two magic circle appeared before moving through her.

She took a running start towards the ledge as she pressed her Wizard Driver’s right Shift Lever once. [MAGIC TOUCHIE GO!] Then Symbol scanned her right glove over her Wizard Driver’s Hand Author as the Aqua Jets started to leak water. [BOOST MAGIC PLEASE!] They each fired four streams of water that shot Symbol into the air. She flipped around and landed on the underside of a ledge. Before gravity had a chance to kick in, Symbol jumped. Eight more streams of water shot her to the top of a platform that looked to have once been part of a street.

Looking around, Symbol switched the Aqua Ring for the Bind Ring, then slammed her glove down on her Wizard Driver’s left Shift Lever. [MAGIC TOUCHIE HENSHIN!] She scanned her left glove over her Wizard Driver’s Hand Author and held it out to the side. [BOOST BIND PLEASE!] The bind magic circle appeared to Symbol’s right and moved through her.

Symbol took up a kicking stance as she struck her Wizard Driver’s right Shift Lever twice. [MAGIC TOUCHIE GO!] Symbol swiped her right glove over her Wizard Driver’s Hand Author as the Boost Locks glowed. [BIND MAGIC PLEASE!] She threw a spin kick, firing an orange chain that shot through the air and stabbed into an island. Symbol grunted as she pulled the island over and into the gap she had to cross.

Yet the gap between the two islands was still too big to jump. “Why me?” Symbol switched the Active Ring for the Swift Ring and slammed her glove down on her Wizard Driver’s left Shift Lever in anger. [MAGICAL TOUCH HENSHIN!] She scanned her left glove over her Wizard Driver’s Hand Author. [SWIFT PLEASE!] Then Symbol held her left glove into the air and the swift magic circle appeared. [DASH AWAY!] Then it fell through her.

Symbol added the Wings and Zoomer Rings to her right glove before pressing her Wizard Driver’s right Shift Lever. [MAGIC TOUCHIE HENSHIN!] Symbol scanned her right glove over her Wizard Drivers Hand Author before thrusting it up into the air. [WING ZOOMER PLEASE!] The two magic circles appeared and fell through Symbol.

Just before she jumped off the edge, she slammed her right glove down on her Wizard Driver’s right Shift Lever. [MAGIC TOUCHIE GO!] Then she scanned her right glove over her Wizard Driver’s Hand Author. [ZOOMER MAGIC PLEASE!] The Speed Wings ignited. “Whoa!” letting Symbol clear the gap with ease.

Then she saw what was ahead of her. “Oh no,” Symbol switched the Swift Ring for the Active Ring and pressed her Wizard Driver’s left Shift Lever. [MAGICAL TOUCH HENSHIN!] Symbol held her left glove over her Wizard Driver’s Hand Author. [ACTIVE PLEASE!] Then she held it out to the left. [LET’S GO!] The active magic circle appeared and moved through Symbol.

She added the Boost and Defend Rings to her right glove before pressing her Wizard Driver’s right Shift Lever. [MAGIC TOUCHIE HENSHIN!] She scanned her right glove then held it out to the side. [BOOST DEFEND PLEASE!] The two magic circles appeared and moved through Symbol.

Then Symbol ran to the edge of the island as she slammed her right glove down on her Wizard Driver’s right Shift lever once. [MAGIC TOUCHIE GO!] Purple magical energy ran into the Boost Grieves as she scanned her right glove over her Wizard Driver’s Hand Author. [BOOST MAGIC PLEASE!] Symbol leapt into the air, rocketing up until she reached an overhanging rock. She twisted around in mid-air letting the Boost Grieves stick to the rock.

Symbol saw had already seen that the gap was too big to jump as she switched the Active Ring for the Burst Ring while pressing her Wizard Driver’s left Shift Lever. [MAGICAL TOUCH HENSHIN!] Symbol scanned her left glove over her Wizard Driver’s Hand Author. [BURST PLEASE!] She held her left glove out to the side and the burst magic circle appeared behind her. [CAST THE SPELL!] Symbol jumped back off the island and through the circle.

As she started to fall, Symbol pressed her Wizard Driver’s left Shift Lever four times. [MAGICAL TOUCH GO! VERY NICE!] She scanned her left glove over her Wizard Driver’s Hand Author as purple magical energy started to gather around her. [BURST! S RANK SPELL! THE BEST!] The magical energy covered Symbol completely. “Burst Teleport!” she vanished in a blast of purple light and appeared on the next island.

She was able to hope to the next island with ease and groaned as she saw what was ahead of her as she switched the Burst Ring for the Active Ring then she pressed her Wizard Driver’s left Shift Lever. [MAGICAL TOUCH HENSHIN!] Symbol scanned her left glove over her Wizard Driver’s Hand Author. [ACTIVE PLEASE!] Then she held the Active Ring out to the side as the active magic circle appeared and moved through her. [LET’S GO!]

Symbol added the Boost and Aqua Rings to her right glove as she slammed it down on her Wizard Driver’s right Shift Lever. [MAGIC TOUCHIE HENSHIN!] Then she scanned her right glove over her Wizard Driver’s Hand Author. [BOOST AQUA PLEASE!] The two magic circles appeared to Symbol’s right and moved through her.

She pressed her Wizard Driver’s right Shift Lever once. [MAGIC TOUCHIE GO!] Then scanned her right glove over her Wizard Driver’s Hand Author as she jumped. [BOOST MAGIC PLEASE!] The Aqua Jets each fired four jets of water that shot Symbol through the air.

While she was in the air, Symbol switched the Active Ring for the Swift Ring and slammed her glove down on her Wizard Driver’s left Shift Lever. [MAGICAL TOUCH HENSHIN!] Next, she scanned her left glove over her Wizard Driver’s Hand Author. [SWIFT PLEASE!] Symbol held her left glove out and the swift magic circle appeared in her flight path. [DASH AWAY!] She shot through it, emerging in the Swift Style.

Symbol, flipped around, getting ready to land on a sideways island. She added the Wing and Sniper Rings to her right glove before pressing her Wizard Driver’s right Shift Lever. [MAGIC TOUCHIE HENSHIN!] Symbol scanned her right glove over her Wizard Driver’s Hand Author. [WING SNIPER PLEASE!] The two magic circles appeared in Symbol’s flight path and she shot through them, landing on the side of the island.

While her momentum kept her on the side of the island, Symbol pressed her Wizard Driver’s right Shift Lever once. [MAGIC TOUCHIE GO!] She scanned her right glove over her Wizard Driver’s Hand Author. [WING MAGIC PLEASE!] With a mighty flap from the Flight Wings, Symbol went shooting through the air, leaving a silver trail.

She flipped and landed on the ground before nearly screaming when she saw a pair of boost circles on opposite walls. “Let's get this over with!” she switched the Swift Ring for the Active Ring before pressing her Wizard Driver’s left Shift Lever. [MAGICAL TOUCH HENSHIN!] Then she scanned her left glove over her Wizard Driver’s Hand Author. [ACTIVE PLEASE!] Symbol held her left glove out to the side as the active magic circle appeared and moved through her. [LET’S GO!]

Once the transformation was finished, Symbol looked down at herself and if she had been in her human form, she would have frowned. “Actually, the mana cost is worth it this time!” she switched the Active Ring for the Burst Ring and pressed her Wizard Driver’s left Shift Lever. [MAGICAL TOUCH HENSHIN!] Symbol scanned her left glove over her Wizard Driver’s Hand Author. [BURST PLEASE!] She held her left glove out to the side as the burst magic circle appeared behind her and moved through her. [CAST THE SPELL!]

Then Symbol pressed down on her Wizard Driver’s left Shift Lever four times. [MAGICAL TOUCH GO! VERY NICE!] She scanned her left glove over her Wizard Driver’s Hand Author as purple magical energy started to gather around her. [BURST! S RANK SPELL! THE BEST!] Symbol vanished in a blast of purple magical energy, appearing on one of the boost circles. She vanished again and appeared on the second boost circle. “Burst Teleport!” her final teleport left her on the island where the boost circle would have taken her.

Symbol panted for several seconds as she had to lean on an archway or fall over. “I’m never doing that again,” muttered the Kamen Rider as she switched the Burst Ring for the Active Ring then pressed down on her Wizard Driver’s left Shift Lever. [MAGICAL TOUCH HENSHIN!] Then she scanned her left glove over her Wizard Driver’s Hand Author. [ACTIVE PLEASE!] Symbol thrust her left glove out to the side as the active magic circle appeared and moved through her. [LET’S GO!]

Then she added the Boost and Aqua Rings to her right glove before pressing her Wizard Driver’s right Shift Lever. [MAGIC TOUCHIE HENSHIN!] Symbol scanned her right glove over her Wizard Driver’s Hand Author and held it out to the right. [BOOST AQUA PLEASE!] The two magic circles appeared and moved over Symbol.

She took a running start as she pressed her Wizard Driver’s right Shift Lever once. [MAGIC TOUCHIE GO!] The Aqua Jets started to leak blue water as Symbol scanned her right glove over her Wizard Driver’s Hand Author. [BOOST MAGIC PLEASE!] Just as she jumped, the Aqua Jets each fired four blasts of water that propelled Symbol into the air and onto the higher island.

There was another archway portal inside a nearby building. But before Symbol could go to it she heard the familiar sound of a chainsaw. “I was wondering when I’d see something more than cannon fodder and the new Phantoms,” she turned to see a Ravager Phantom pulling itself out of the ground.

Symbol switched the Active Ring for the Swift Ring and pressed her Wizard Driver’s left Shift Lever. [MAGICAL TOUCH HENSHIN!] She scanned her left glove over her Wizard Driver’s Hand Author as the Ravager Phantom set itself on fire. [SWIFT PLEASE!] Symbol held her left glove up into the air and the swift magic circle appeared over her helmet before falling through her. [DASH AWAY!]

The Ravager Phantom charged as Symbol pressed her Wizard Driver’s left Shift Lever twice. [MAGICAL TOUCH GO!] She scanned her left glove over her Wizard Driver’s Hand Author, just before the Ravager Phantom was able to strike her, Symbol’s visor flashed purple. [SWIFT! B RANK SPELL!] A second before the Phantom’s chainsaw made contact, Symbol vanished a blur of speed.

Symbol appeared behind the Ravager Phantom and pressed her Wizard Driver’s left Shift Lever four times. [MAGICAL TOUCH GO! VERY NICE!] Then she scanned her left glove over her Wizard Driver’s Hand Author as the Ravager Phantom turned towards her. [SWIFT! S RANK SPELL! THE BEST!] Symbol covered her left boot in yellow magical energy. “Swift Beam!” she balanced on her right boot as she kicked the Phantom in the chest. Energy gathered as the Phantom was sent flying backwards.

With the room she had gotten, Symbol added the Arrow and Blade Rings to her right glove before pressing her Wizard Driver’s left Shift Lever. [MAGIC TOUCHIE HENSHIN!] The Ravager Phantom recovered as Symbol scanned her left glove over her Wizard Driver’s Hand Author. [ARROW ZOOMER PLEASE!] She threw her left glove into the air and the two magic circles appeared before falling down through her.

Symbol slammed her glove down on her Wizard Driver’s left Shift Lever four times. [MAGICAL TOUCH GO! VERY NICE!] She scanned her left glove over her Wizard Driver’s Hand Author as yellow magical energy gathered around the Buzz Bow. [SWIFT! S RANK SPELL! THE BEST!] Then she swung the Buzz Bow. “Arrow Cutter!” shouted Symbol as the Buzzsaw Bow fired six arrows made from the yellow wind. They pierced the Ravager Phantom in four places and caused it to explode.

Symbol looked around as several Lesser Blade Phantoms burst from the ground. “I should have seen this coming,” she muttered as she pressed her Wizard Driver’s right Shift Lever once after changing Rings. [MAGIC TOUCHIE HENSHIN!] Symbol scanned her right glove over her Wizard Driver’s Hand Author as the Lesser Blade Phantom’s charged. [WING BLADE PLEASE!] She held her right glove into the air as the blade magic circle appeared and dropped down through her.

She boosted forwards as at the three Lesser Blade Phantoms that were coming at her from the front as she struck her Wizard Driver’s right Shift Lever twice. [MAGIC TOUCHIE GO!] Symbol scanned her right glove over her Wizard Driver’s Hand Author. [BLADE MAGIC PLEASE!] The Cutter Wings were both covered in red magical energy as Symbol slashed each of the three Lesser Blade Phantoms with a single Cutter Wing. This cut a red slash mark through them before they all exploded.

Symbol spun around and curled the Cutter Wings around herself just in time to block three slashes from the Lesser Blade Phantom’s that had been coming at her from behind. As the Lesser Blade Phantoms continued to try and get through the Cutter Wings, Symbol pressed her Wizard Driver’s right Shift Lever. [MAGIC TOUCHIE GO!] Silver magical energy surged through each of the Cutter Wings as Symbol scanned her right glove over her Wizard Driver’s Hand Author. [WING MAGIC PLEASE!] Symbol forced the Lesser Blade Phantoms back by quickly uncrossing the Cutter Wings, this fired a barrage of feathers from them. Sparks exploded out of the Lesser Blade Phantoms with each hit until all three of them exploded.

Then Symbol saw another three Blade Phantoms burst from the ground. She changed the Rings on her right glove and pressed her Wizard Driver’s right Shift Lever. [MAGIC TOUCHIE HENSHIN!] She scanned her right glove over her Wizard Driver’s Hand Author then thrust it into the air. [ARROW SNIPER PLEASE!] The two magic circles appeared and fell through her, transforming Symbol.

Symbol grabbed the Sniper Crossbow as it appeared out of the air and slammed her right glove down on her Wizard Driver’s right Shift Lever twice. [MAGIC TOUCHIE GO!] She scanned her right glove over her Wizard Driver’s Hand Author as blue magical energy ran up the Sniper Crossbow. [SNIPER MAGIC PLEASE!] She pulled the trigger after taking aim at the Blade Phantom. A high powered beam shot out of the Sniper Crossbow and slammed into the first Blade Phantom, tearing through it and causing it to explode.

After taking a slash across her chestplate from the second and third Blade Phantoms, Symbol switched the Swift Ring for the Burst Ring. She let loose a blast of wind that forced the Blade Phantoms back. Symbol pressed her Wizard Driver’s left Shift Lever after getting some room. [MAGICAL TOUCH HENSHIN!] She scanned her left glove over her Wizard Driver’s Hand Author. [BURST PLEASE!] Then she thrust her left glove out to the side as the Blade Phantoms started to get back up. [CAST THE SPELL!] The burst magic circle burst into existence behind Symbol and moved through her.

Then she pressed her Wizard Driver’s left Shift Lever once. [MAGICAL TOUCH GO!] The Blade Phantom’s charged as Symbol scanned her left glove over her Wizard Driver’s Hand Author. [BURST! C RANK SPELL!] Four sparks appeared in the air and transformed into fireballs that shot at the Blade Phantoms. They were forced to halt their charge when the fireballs exploded in their faces.

Symbol added the Dust and Mirror Rings to her right glove as she hit her Wizard Driver’s right Shift Lever. [MAGIC TOUCHIE HENSHIN!] Symbol scanned her right glove over her Wizard Driver’s Hand Author and held it out to the side. [DUST MIRROR PLEASE!] The two magic circles burst into being behind Symbol and then moved through her.

The Blade Phantoms shook off the blast and charged at Symbol as she pressed her Wizard Driver’s right Shift Lever twice. [MAGIC TOUCHIE GO!] She scanned her right glove over her Wizard Driver’s Hand Author as the Blade Phantoms leapt at her. [MIRROR MAGIC PLEASE!] Only for a wall of mirrors to appear in front of them and their reflections to leap out and slash them both cross their chest. Sparks explode from the cuts before the Blade Phantoms followed and exploded.

Symbol groaned when she saw a pair of Blade Phantoms pulling themselves out of the ground along with a Ravager Phantom. “Of course!” she switched the Dust Ring for the Steam Ring and pressed her Wizard Driver’s right Shift Lever. [MAGIC TOUCHIE HENSHIN!] She scanned her right glove over her Wizard Driver’s Hand Author and held it out to the side. [STEAM MIRROR PLEASE!] The two magic circles appeared behind her and moved through her.

The Ravager Phantoms both set themselves on fire and charged at Symbol with the Blade Phantom following close behind. Symbol pressed her Wizard Driver’s right Shift Lever once. [MAGIC TOUCHIE GO!] Then she scanned her right glove over her Wizard Driver’s Hand Author. [STEAM MAGIC PLEASE!] The Ravager Phantoms both swung at Symbol. Only for a wall of glass to appear in front of them. They swung, shattering the glass with ease, only for the Symbol behind the glass to vanish.

[MAGIC TOUCHIE GO!] The three Phantoms turned towards where the sound was coming from and charged at Symbol as she scanned her right glove over her Wizard Driver’s Hand Author. [MIRROR MAGIC PLEASE!] A wall of mirrors appeared in front of the Phantoms, forcing them to end their charge as they were blocked in.

While the Phantoms were attempting to break the mirror wall, Symbol switched the Mirror Ring for the Glass Ring and pressed her Wizard Driver’s right Shift Lever. [MAGIC TOUCHIE HENSHIN!] As cracks spread through the mirror wall, Symbol scanned her right glove over her Wizard Driver’s Hand Author. [STEAM GLASS PLEASE!] She held her right glove out to the side as the glass magic circle appeared behind her and then moved through her.

The mirror wall broke. As the Phantoms were charging across the ground towards Symbol, she pressed her Wizard Driver’s right Shift Lever twice. [MAGIC TOUCHIE GO!] She aligned her right glove with her Wizard Driver’s Hand Author as shards of glass appeared around the Phantoms. [GLASS  MAGIC PLEASE!] They swirled inwards, drawing sparks from the two Ravager Phantoms while making micro-explosions go off around the Blade Phantom.

‘That one’s nearly finished,’ thought Symbol calmly as she hit her Wizard Driver’s right Shift Lever once. [MAGIC TOUCHIE GO!] She scanned her right glove over her Wizard Driver’s Hand Author as she ducked under a pair of slashes from the Ravager Phantoms. [STEAM MAGIC PLEASE!] A circle of steaming hot glass shards appeared around the Blade Phantom with their points inwards. Symbol swiped her right glove down and the glass shards shot inwards and skewered the Blade Phantom, making it explode.

Sparks explode from Symbol’s chestplate as one of the Ravager Phantoms rammed its chainsaw into her chestplate. With a shout of pain, Symbol was sent flying back, right into a horizontal slash from the other Ravager Phantom. “Ok,” grumbled Symbol as she got back up. “That hurt!” [MAGICAL TOUCH GO!] The Ravager Phantom ran towards Symbol as she threw her right glove forwards. [BURST! B RANK SPELL!] Water particles in the air collected and froze over, forming into four shurikens made of ice. They shot towards the Ravager Phantom.

The Ravager Phantoms swiped at the shurikens with their chainsaws. A few days ago that would have been it. Now? Symbol gestured with her right glove and the shurikens flew around the chainsaws, digging themselves into the Phantoms, which bleed sparks while micro-explosions went off around them.

“Final!” muttered Symbol as she pressed her Wizard Driver’s left Shift Lever four times. [MAGICAL TOUCH GO! VERY NICE!] Then she scanned her left glove over her Wizard Driver’s Hand Author as purple magical energy covered her. [BURST! S RANK SPELL! THE BEST!] In a blast of purple light, Symbol vanished into thin air and appeared on the other end of the ledge in an identical blast of purple light.

“That should be far enough,” Symbol drew the Burst Wand and pulled on its thumb, opening its Hand Author. [COME ON A CAST SHAKE HANDS!] She shook hands with the Burst Wand’s Hand Author as purple magical energy built up on the tip of it. [BURST! CAST STRIKE!] The Ravager Phantoms both set themselves on fire and charged at Symbol. “Burst Beam!” she stabbed the Burst Wand forwards and fired a column-sized beam that halted the two Ravager Phantoms. After several seconds an explosion rippled through the area they were in.

Symbol attempted to keep the beam going, but was forced to stop as the spell ended. This revealed the second Ravager Phantom was badly hurt but still alive. Then Symbol saw it light up with red flames instead of the normal orange ones. “Oh no!” was all she had time to shout as the Ravager Phantom closed the distance in a second and slammed its chainsaw into her chestplate, drawing sparks and triggering micro-explosions. Symbol rolled along the ground, she could feel it, one more it had she’d change back into her human form; Sunset Shimmer Sparda.

With a growl, Symbol switched the Burst Ring for the Advance Ring and pressed down on her Wizard Driver’s left Shift Lever. [TOUCH TO ADVANCE YOUR CLASS!] Then she scanned her left glove over her Wizard Driver’s Hand Author. [ADVANCE PLEASE!] She held her left glove out in front of her and the Advance Magic circle appeared, knocking the Ravager Phantom back as it moved back through Symbol.

Symbol winced as a blast of pain tore through her helmet. “I’ve gotta end this, fast!” she pressed her Wizard Driver’s left Shift Lever once. [TOUCH TO CAST THE NEXT LEVEL!] The Ravager Phantom charged, only to miss as Symbol stepped to the side and scanned her left glove over her Wizard Driver’s Hand Author. [ADVANCE C TIER SPELL!] The yellow rectangle and orb-shaped emitters on her body emitted yellow particles. They gathered around Symbol’s right fist as she slammed it into the Ravager Phantom’s back. Out of the form of the Phantom roared a beam of yellow magical energy. Sparks came from the entrance and exit points as the Ravager Phantom exploded.

Symbol winced as she switched the Advance Ring for the Active Ring, before pressing her Wizard Driver’s left Shift Lever. [MAGICAL TOUCH HENSHIN!] She scanned her left glove over her Wizard Driver’s Hand Author. [ACTIVE PLEASE!] Symbol threw her left glove out to the side. [LET’S GO!] The active magic circle appeared to her left and moved through her.

Symbol ran through the archway portal. Only to find herself between two apartment buildings, there was no ground in front of her. But she could see several lock-on points around her. 

“I can work with this,” Symbol added the Boost and Bind Rings to her right glove as she pressed her Wizard Driver’s right Shift Lever. [MAGIC TOUCHIE HENSHIN!] She scanned her right glove over her Wizard Driver’s Hand Author and held it out to the side. [BOOST BIND PLEASE!] The two magic circles appeared to her right and moved through Symbol.

Symbol ran towards the edge of the gap and slammed her right glove down on her Wizard Driver’s right Shift Lever. [MAGIC TOUCHIE GO!] She scanned her right glove over her Wizard Driver’s Hand Author as purple magical energy ran into the Boost Locks. [BOOST MAGIC PLEASE!] Symbol jumped to the first lock-on point. Then she leapt to the second one, before jumping across to the third lock-on point. There was still a gap and no more lock-on points.

Symbol switched the Active Ring for the Swift Ring then pressed her Wizard Driver’s left Shift Lever. [MAGICAL TOUCH HENSHIN!] She scanned her left glove over her Wizard Driver’s Hand Author. [SWIFT PLEASE!] Symbol held her left glove into the air as the swift magic circle appeared. [DASH AWAY!] It fell through her, transforming Symbol into the Swift Style.

As she lost her grip on the lock-on point, Symbol added the Wing and Zoomer Rings to her right glove, then she pressed her Wizard Driver’s right Shift Lever. [MAGIC TOUCHIE HENSHIN!] Symbol scanned her right glove over her Wizard Driver’s Hand Author, then she thrust it up into the air. [WING ZOOMER PLEASE!] The two magic circles appeared over her helmet and dropped through her.

As she started to fall through the air, Symbol slammed her right glove down on her Wizard Driver’s right Shift Lever once more. [MAGIC TOUCHIE GO!] She scanned her right glove over her Wizard Driver’s Hand Author. [ZOOMER MAGIC PLEASE!] The Speed Wings fired, shooting Symbol across the gap and letting her land on the island.

Symbol saw the Phantom chasing Kate, it leapt at her, causing Kate to let out a scream of pure fear.

‘For a Phantom copy, that thing sure can scream,’ Symbol thought as she shouted: “Over here!”

The four-armed Phantom turned towards her.

The Fake Kate looked back before running through an archway shaped portal.

The four-armed Phantom roared at Symbol as it pulled back one arm and slammed it onto the ground. Making it start to break into pieces as it ran through the portal.

“This isn’t good,” muttered Symbol as the Phantoms arrived.

Symbol shot into the air with the Speed Wings as she barrel rolled, avoiding a pair of crossbow bolts. She pressed her Wizard Driver’s right Shift Lever twice. [MAGIC TOUCHIE GO!] Symbol shouted in pain as a pair of crossbow bolts slammed into her shoulder pauldron, she was still able to scan her right glove over her Wizard Driver’s Hand Author. [ZOOMER MAGIC PLEASE!] Red magical energy ignited around the Speed Wings as Symbol vanished in a blur of speed. The two Icarus Phantoms that had been shooting her, look around. Only for Symbol to come shooting out of the sky and slam her boots into the Phantom’s backs making both of them slam through the breaking apart island and explode.

Suddenly, sparks exploded from Symbol’s backplate as another pair of crossbow bolts slammed into it. “Die!” shouted Symbol as she drew the Swift Blaster and pulled on its thumb, opening its Hand Author. [COME ON A BLAST SHAKE HANDS!] She shook hands with the Swift Blaster’s Hand Author as a swift magic circle appeared in front of the gun’s barrel. [SWIFT! BLASTER STRIKE!] Symbol took aim. “Swift Blaster!” she pulled the trigger, firing a barrage of yellow bullets that made the two Icarus Phantoms explode as they slammed into them.

The Kamen Rider landed back on the ground as she switched the Wing Ring for the Arrow Ring, then she pressed her Wizard Driver’s Hand Author as a pair of Valkyrie Phantoms appeared. [MAGIC TOUCHIE HENSHIN!] Then she scanned her right glove over her Wizard Driver’s Hand Author and threw it into the air. [ARROW ZOOMER PLEASE!] The arrow magic circle appeared over Symbol’s helmet and fell through her.

As the Valkyrie Phantoms each threw an orb, Symbol slammed her glove down on her Wizard Driver’s right Shift Lever. [MAGIC TOUCHIE GO!] She scanned her right glove over her Wizard Driver’s Hand Author as red magical energy glowed around her. [ZOOMER MAGIC PLEASE!] Symbol vanished in a burst of speed, blurring into a yellow and red ring around the Valkyrie Phantoms. Sparks explode from their bodies as Symbol fired at them so fast they could not see her or the arrows. The Phantoms quickly exploded.

Symbol stopped running as a Shielded Valkrie Phantom appeared, she pressed her Wizard Driver’s right Shift Lever once. [MAGIC TOUCHIE GO!] She pulled back on the Speed Bow after scanning her right glove over her Wizard Driver’s Hand Author. [ARROW MAGIC PLEASE!] Symbol released the Speed Bow’s shaft and fired a dozen energy arrows at the Phantom. Sparks exploded from the Shielded Valkyrie Phantom’s shield before it was destroyed, leaving the Valkyrie Phantom with no shield.

“Time to end this!” Symbol pressed her Wizard Driver’s left Shift Lever four times. [MAGICAL TOUCH GO! VERY NICE!] Then she scanned her left glove over her Wizard Driver’s Hand Author as the Speed Bow glowed with yellow magical energy. [SWIFT! S RANK SPELL! THE BEST!] Symbol raced up towards the Valkyrie Phantom, running on the air as if it was solid ground. She blurred into a ring of yellow light as she ran around the Valkyrie Phantom. Sparks explode from the Phantom’s waist as it was cutting in a circle by a continuous assault. “Arrow Slasher,” in reality, Symbol had dug the tip of the Speed Bow into the Valkyrie Phantom’s waist as she ran around it. The Phantom quickly exploded.

Symbol looked into the air as a Peryton Phantom appeared. She slammed her right glove down on her Wizard Driver’s right Shift Lever. [MAGIC TOUCHIE GO!] Then she scanned her right glove over her Wizard Driver’s Hand Author as she pulled back on the Speed Bow. [ARROW MAGIC PLEASE!] She fired a dozen energy bolts that shot through the air and slammed into the Phantom, making sparks explode from its body.

The Valkyrie Phantom threw another bomb that exploded the second it hit the ground, Symbol was blown back and the Speed Bow was destroyed. It shattered into pieces which were pulled inside Symbol’s hammerspace to heal. She drew the Swift Blaster and pulled on its thumb, opening its Hand Author. [COME ON A BLAST SHAKE HANDS!] “Where was the countdown?!” shouted Symbol as she shook hand with the Swift Blaster’s Hand Author. [SWIFT! BLASTER STRIKE!] A swift magic circle appeared in front of the Swift Blaster. “Bullet Barrage!” Symbol pulled the trigger, firing a barrage of yellow bullets that slammed into the Valkyrie Phantom, causing it to explode.

Suddenly, sparks exploded out of Symbol’s side. “Argh!” shouted the Kamen Rider in pain. She glared at the Wisp Phantom as she switched the Swift Ring for the Advance Ring. She pressed her Wizard Driver’s left Shift Lever. [TOUCH TO ADVANCE YOUR CLASS!] Then she scanned her left glove over her Wizard Driver’s Hand Author as the Wisp Phantom phased at her. [ADVANCE PLEASE!] The advance magic circle appeared in front of Symbol and knocked the Wisp Phantom back as it moved through her.

The Wisp Phantom lunged at Symbol, striking her across the faceplate. She staggered back as it slammed an elbow into her check guard before throwing her into a rock. Symbol looked up to see the Wisp Phantom charging at her.

She was able to roll out of the way and pressed her Wizard Driver’s left Shift Lever three times. [TOUCH TO CAST THE NEXT LEVEL!] Then she scanned her left glove over her Wizard Driver’s Hand Author as the emitters ejected yellow magical energy. [ADVANCE A TIER SPELL!] Symbol threw her arms out to the side and let the energy collect around her gloves as she clenched them into fists. She lunged forward slamming her left fist into the Phantom’s jaw and then grabbing the Wisp Phantom by the head with her right glove and slamming it into the ground with enough force to make a crater.

The Wisp Phantom phased back in pain, dazed.

While it did this, Symbol moved the Advance Ring into her left index finger. Then she added the Breaker Ring to her left ring finger as she pressed her Wizard Driver’s left Shift Lever. [TOUCH TO ADVANCE YOUR CLASS!] She scanned her left glove over her Wizard Driver’s Hand Author as the Wisp Phantom recovered and phased at her. [ADVANCE BREAKER PLEASE!] Symbol threw up her left glove, the breaker magic circle appeared in front of her and sent the Wisp Phantom flying back as it moved through her.

Then Symbol pressed her Wizard Driver’s left Shift Lever twice as the Wisp Phantom lunged at her once more. [TOUCH TO CAST THE NEXT LEVEL!] Symbol scanned her left glove over her Wizard Driver’s Hand Author as the emitters on her body emitted red magical energy. [ADVANCE BREAKER B TIER SPELL!] The energy wrapped around Symbol’s right glove as she ducked under a punch, then leaned back to avoid a second fist. Symbol’s fist snapped up and slammed into the Wisp Phantom’s jaw, sending it flying into the air with sparks coming from the impact point.

“Now’s my chance!” Symbol leapt into the air, getting above the Wisp Phantom as it started to fall. She pressed her Wizard Driver’s left Shift Lever three times. [TOUCH TO CAST THE NEXT LEVEL!] Symbol scanned her left glove over her Wizard Driver’s Hand Author. [ADVANCE BREAKER A TIER SPELL!] The emitters on her body emitted red magical energy that wrapped around her right glove. The energy converged around her right fist as Symbol brought it down. A circle shaped shockwave of red energy was emitted as Symbol’s fist came into contact with the Wisp Phantom and sent it shooting back down to the ground.

The Wisp Phantom struggled back to its feet as Symbol pressed her Wizard Driver’s left Shift Lever once. [TOUCH TO CAST THE NEXT LEVEL!] She scanned her left glove over her Wizard Driver’s Hand Author as the emitters started to make red magical energy. [ADVANCE BREAKER C TIER SPELL!] The energy wrapped around her right glove as she cocked her fist back. The Wisp Phantom brought its own fist back and the two of them bypassed each other, slamming into the other’s cheek.

With a growl, Symbol pressed her Wizard Driver’s left Shift Lever four times. [TOUCH TO CAST THE NEXT LEVEL! VERY NICE!] The emitters on her body started to emit red and yellow particles as she scanned her left glove over her Wizard Driver’s Hand Author. [ADVANCE BREAKER S TIER SPELL! THE BEST!] Symbol sprinted forwards as her fist shone with red and yellow magical energy. The Kamen Rider and Phantom threw their fists forwards, cross-countering each other. Symbol leaned her helmet to the side, the Wisp Phantom’s fist went past her helmet while the Kamen Rider’s fist slammed into its face. “Breaker Impact!” roared Symbol as the Phantom was sent flying back where it exploded.

Suddenly a storm of sparks exploded out of her chestplate. Symbol was sent flying forwards and smashed into a rock with enough force that it was smashed to rubble. She pried herself out of the rock and glared at the second Wisp Phantom. “My luck cannot be this bad!” snarled Symbol as she switched the Breaker Ring for the Blocker Ring and hit her Wizard Driver’s left Shift Lever. [TOUCH TO ADVANCE YOUR CLASS!] She scanned her left glove over her Wizard Driver’s Hand Author. [ADVANCE BLOCKER PLEASE!] She held her left glove out in front of her as the blocker magic circle appeared and moved back through her.

The Wisp Phantom roared as it phased at Symbol, punching her in the chestplate. A small number of sparks was drawn and Symbol slid back a step.

“My turn,” she pressed her Wizard Driver’s left Shift Lever once. [TOUCH TO CAST THE NEXT LEVEL!] As the Wisp Phantom charged its forearm blades with black magical energy, Symbol scanned her left glove over her Wizard Driver’s Hand Author. [ADVANCE BLOCKER B TIER SPELL!] Blue particles were emitted from the emitters on Symbol’s body. The particles gathered, forming a shield of blue magical energy that was in a square shape, blocking the X shaped slash that had been aimed at her.

The Wisp Phantom gave a roar as black fog surrounded Symbol. She was struck from behind, then in the faceplate. An uppercut hit her in the jaw guard as a knee smashed into her shin.

“Enough of this!” Symbol pressed her Wizard Driver’s left Shift Lever three times. [TOUCH TO CAST THE NEXT LEVEL!] She scanned her left glove over her Wizard Driver’s Hand Author. [ADVANCE BLOCKER A TIER SPELL!] The emitters on her body emitted blue magical energy that gathered around Symbol and formed into an aura of magical energy. Multiple blows hit it but had no effect. “Let's finish this!” Symbol released the magical energy in a pulse the blew away the fog and sent the Wisp Phantom rolling back with sparks coming from its body.

The Wisp Phantom got back up and roared as it phase towards Symbol.

“No, you don’t!” Symbol pressed her Wizard Driver’s left Shift Lever twice. [TOUCH TO CAST THE NEXT LEVEL!] She scanned her left glove over her Wizard Driver’s Hand Author as the emitters started to glow with blue magical energy. [ADVANCE BLOCKER B TIER SPELL!] The energy formed into a circle shaped shield in front of Symbol which the Wisp Phantom slammed into. “Let’s see how you like this!” Symbol drew back her left glove and slammed the palm into the shield. It surged forwards at high speed, trapping the Wisp Phantom in front of it and slammed the Phantom into a rock.

“Almost there,” muttered Symbol as she pressed her Wizard Driver’s left Shift Lever once. [TOUCH TO CAST THE NEXT LEVEL!] Then she scanned her left glove over her Wizard Driver’s left Shift Lever as the emitters shone. [ADVANCE BLOCKER C TIER SPELL!] The Wisp Phantom charged towards Symbol. Only to slam into a square shaped blue energy that exploded, sending it flying backwards.

“Just a little more,” Symbol pressed her Wizard Driver’s left Shift Lever four times. [TOUCH TO CAST THE NEXT LEVEL! VERY NICE!] She scanned her left glove over her Wizard Driver’s Hand Author. [ADVANCE BLOCKER S TIER SPELL! THE BEST!] Light blue magical energy surged from her gloves. “Containment Cube!” the Wisp Phantom tried to phase out of the way. Only for the beam to form a cube of blue energy that kept it trapped in one place.

“Final!” Symbol switched the Blocker Ring for the Breaker Ring and pressed her Wizard Driver’s left Shift Lever. [TOUCH TO ADVANCE YOUR CLASS!] She scanned her left glove over her Wizard Driver’s Hand Author and held it out in front of her. [ADVANCE BREAKER PLEASE!] The breaker magic circle appeared in front of Symbol and instead of it moving through her, she walked through it.

Symbol slammed her left glove down on her Wizard Driver’s left Shift Lever as she ran forwards. [TOUCH TO CAST THE NEXT LEVEL! VERY NICE!] The Containment Cube started losing power, Symbol scanned her left glove over her Wizard Driver’s Hand Author, the emitters started to leak red and yellow magical energy. [ADVANCE BREAKER S TIER SPELL! THE BEST!] Symbol gathered the energy in her right glove as she reached the Containment Cube. “Breaker Impact!” roared Symbol as her fist slammed into the Containment Cube. The reaction was started as the red, yellow and blue magical energy mixed, causing the cube to implode, crushing the Wisp Phantom.

“Phew,” Symbol switched the Advance and Breaker Rings for the Active Ring, then she struck her Wizard Driver’s left Shift Lever. [MAGICAL TOUCH HENSHIN!] Symbol scanned her left glove over her Wizard Driver’s Hand Author. [ACTIVE PLEASE!] She held it out to the side as the active magic circle appeared to her left and moved through her. [LET’S GO!] Transforming Symbol into the Active Style.

Then she ran through the portal and ended up at a nice bright over the endless drop that led to what looked like a church. “Finally, something nice for once.”

Then a meteor fell out of the sky, smashing the bridge into several floating island.

“Should have kept my mouth shut!” she added the Boost and Bind Rings to her right glove before pressing her Wizard Driver’s Hand Author. [MAGIC TOUCHIE HENSHIN!] Then she scanned her right glove over her Wizard Driver’s Hand Author. [BOOST BIND PLEASE!] Symbol held her right glove out to the side and the two magic circles appeared, they moved through her.

Symbol pressed her Wizard Driver’s right Shift Lever once. [MAGIC TOUCHIE GO!] She scanned her right glove over her Wizard Driver’s Hand Author as she leapt off the edge of the platform. [BOOST MAGIC PLEASE!] Purple magical energy ran into the Boost Locks as Symbol jumped into the air and landed on a spire.

“There isn’t a lock-on point and the gap’s too big to jump,” Symbol groaned as she changed the Active Ring for the Swift Ring then pressed her Wizard Driver’s left Shift Lever. [MAGICAL TOUCH HENSHIN!] She scanned the Active Ring over her Wizard Driver’s Hand Author. [SWIFT PLEASE!] Then she held it up into the air. [DASH AWAY!] The swift magic circle appeared and fell through Symbol.

Symbol added the Wing and Sniper Rings to her right glove then she pressed her Wizard Driver’s right Shift Lever. [MAGIC TOUCHIE HENSHIN!] Symbol scanned her right glove over her Wizard Driver’s Hand Author. [WING SNIPER PLEASE!] Symbol held her right glove into the air as the two magic circles appeared and fell through her.

Symbol spread the Flight Wings as she pressed her Wizard Driver’s right Shift Lever once. [MAGIC TOUCHIE GO!] Then she scanned her right glove over her Wizard Driver’s Hand Author. [WING MAGIC PLEASE!] Symbol spread the Flight Wings and jumped, giving them one solid flap, shooting her over the edge of the gap and landed on the island.

Then she jumped to the next island. “Whoa!” narrowly avoiding a meteor. She jumped up the island’s next level. “Watch out!” she jumped back, nearly being hit by another meteor. “That was close,” Symbol ran up a flight of stairs, only for them to be destroyed by another meteor.

“This is starting to get kinda stupid,” muttered Symbol as she changed the Swift Ring for the Active Ring, then pressed her Wizard Driver’s left Shift Lever. [MAGICAL TOUCH HENSHIN!] Symbol scanned her left glove over her Wizard Driver’s Hand Author as the stairs she was on started to shake. [ACTIVE PLEASE!] Symbol held her left glove out to the side and the active magic circle appeared. [LET’S GO!] After which it moved through her.

Then Symbol slid the Boost and Aqua Rings onto her right glove before hitting her Wizard Driver’s right Shift Lever. [MAGIC TOUCHIE HENSHIN!] She scanned her right glove over her Wizard Driver’s Hand Author. [BOOST AQUA PLEASE!] Then she held her right glove out to the side as the two magic circles appeared and moved through her.

Symbol took several steps back as the stairs she was on started to break apart. She pressed her right Shift Lever twice. [MAGIC TOUCHIE GO!] Then she scanned her right glove over her Wizard Driver’s Hand Author as the Aqua Jets started to leak water. [BOOST MAGIC PLEASE!] “Here we go!” Symbol ran forwards and jumped. The Aqua Jets fired eight streams of water that shot her into the air. Symbol grabbed onto the edge of the island and pulled herself up.

She ran towards the church doors when they suddenly slammed shut. The Phantoms arrived.

Hearing the sound of a chainsaw behind her, Symbol dropped onto her backplate, avoiding a slash from an on fire Ravager Phantom. She pressed her Wizard Driver’s right Shift Lever twice. [MAGIC TOUCHIE GO!] Then she scanned her right glove over it as the Aqua Jets started to leak water. [AQUA MAGIC PLEASE!] She spun on her backplate, firing eight streams of water that slammed into the Ravager Phantom. It screamed in pain, as a fire type Phantom, the water felt like acid to it.

Symbol switched the Boost Ring for the Slasher Ring, then she pressed her Wizard Driver’s right Shift Lever. [MAGIC TOUCHIE HENSHIN!] She scanned her right glove over her Wizard Driver’s Hand Author. [SLASHER AQUA PLEASE!] She held her right glove out to the side as the two magic circles appeared and moved through her.

Symbol slammed her right glove down on her Wizard Driver’s right Shift Lever as she avoided a slash from the enraged Ravager Phantom. [MAGIC TOUCHIE GO!] Then she scanned her right glove across her Wizard Driver’s Hand Author. [AQUA MAGIC PLEASE!] Water gathered around the Slasher Tidal Claws as Symbol slashed them down, firing six crescent of water that slammed into the Ravager Phantom, cutting six blue lines into its body.

“Now’s my chance!” Symbol saw micro-explosions go off around the Ravager Phantom and pressed her Wizard Driver’s left Shift Lever four times. [MAGICAL TOUCH GO! VERY NICE!] She ran at the Ravager Phantom as she scanned her left glove over the Wizard Driver’s Hand Author. [ACTIVE! S RANK SPELL! THE BEST!] Red lightning ran through the Slasher Tidal Claws. “Slashing Burst!” Symbol slashed the Ravager Phantom several times. Sparks came from each of the cuts until the Ravager Phantom exploded.

Symbol looked around, only for another Ravager Phantom to burst out of the ground, already on fire and slam its chainsaw into her chestplate. She went flying backwards but was able to slam the Slasher Tidal Claws into the ground. She switched the Slasher Ring for the Ice Ring and pressed her Wizard Driver’s right Shift Lever. [MAGIC TOUCHIE HENSHIN!] She held her right glove over her Wizard Driver’s Hand Author. [ICE AQUA PLEASE!] Then she held her right glove out to the side, the two magic circles appeared and moved through her.

She slammed her right glove down on her Wizard Driver’s right Shift Lever once. [MAGIC TOUCHIE GO!] Then she scanned her right glove over her Wizard Driver’s Hand Author as she sid-stepped a charge from the Ravager Phantom. [ICE MAGIC PLEASE!] The ice magic circle appeared to her right and slammed into the Ravager Phantom, sending it flying.

As Ravager Phantom recovered, Symbol pressed her Wizard Driver’s right Shift Lever once. [MAGIC TOUCHIE GO!] Then she scanned her right glove over her Wizard Driver’s Hand Author. [ICE MAGIC PLEASE!] Frost gathered around the Frozen Bracer before Symbol thrust it forwards. Out of which came six ice spikes that slammed into the Ravager Phantom and made sparks explode from its body.

The Ravager Phantom recovered and set itself on fire. Symbol calmly pressed her Wizard Driver’s right Shift Lever. [MAGIC TOUCHIE GO!] She scanned her right glove over her Wizard Driver’s Hand Author. [AQUA MAGIC PLEASE!] Symbol slammed the glove with the Frozen Bracer behind it onto the ground, flash freezing the floor and making the Ravager Phantom fall over.

“It's over!” shouted Symbol as she dispelled the Ice Aqua Style, leaving her in the Active Style. She pressed her Wizard Drive’s left Shift Lever four times. [MAGICAL TOUCH GO! VERY NICE!] Then she scanned her left glove over her Wizard Driver’s Hand Author as red lightning surged around her body. [ACTIVE! S RANK SPELL! THE BEST!] The lightning collected in Symbol’s right arm. “Lightning Impact!” she threw her fist forwards and fired a beam of lightning that slammed into the Ravager Phantom, causing it to explode.

At that moment, several Lesser Blade Phantoms burst from the ground. “Here we go!” Symbol switched the Ice Ring for the Slasher Ring and pressed her Wizard Driver’s right Shift Lever. [MAGIC TOUCHIE HENSHIN!] She scanned her right glove over her Wizard Driver’s Hand Author. [SLASHER AQUA PLEASE!] The two magic circles appeared to her right and moved through her.

Then she pressed her Wizard Driver’s left Shift Lever four times. [MAGICAL TOUCH GO! VERY NICE!] Five Lesser Blade Phantom leapt at her as Symbol scanned her left glove over her Wizard Driver’s Hand Author. [ACTIVE! S RANK SPELL! THE BEST!] Red lightning crackled through the Slasher Tidal Claws as Symbol spun in a circle. “Slashing Burst!” creating three circles of red lightning around her that surged outwards, cutting through all five of the Lesser Blade Phantoms. Red lightning crackled over their bodies for several seconds before they exploded.

Symbol switched the Aqua Ring for the Defend Ring, as three more Lesser Blade Phantoms emerged from the ground she struck her Wizard Driver’s right Shift Lever. [MAGIC TOUCHIE HENSHIN!] Then Symbol scanned her right glove over her Wizard Driver’s Hand Author. [SLASHER DEFEND PLEASE!] Then she held her right glove out to the side as the defend magic circle appeared and moved over her.

The three Lesser Blade Phantoms lunged at Symbol as she pressed her Wizard Driver’s right Shift Lever twice. [MAGIC TOUCHIE GO!] Then she scanned her right glove over her Wizard Driver’s Hand Author as grey magical energy covered the Slasher Defend Claws. [DEFEND MAGIC PLEASE!] Symbol slammed them together, forming a wall of grey magical energy that blocked the Lesser Blade Phantoms from reaching her. They slammed into the wall and were dazed, long enough for Symbol to reabsorb the walls energy and slash all three of the Phantoms, making them explode.

Seeing another pair of Lesser Blade Phantoms jump out of the ground, Symbol pressed her Wizard Driver’s right Shift Lever once. [MAGIC TOUCHIE GO!] She scanned her right glove over her Wizard Driver’s Hand Author as grey magical energy ran through both of the Slasher Defend Claws. [SLASHER MAGIC PLEASE!] Symbol spun in a circle, cutting into both of the Lesser Blade Phantoms and making them both explode.

Seeing two Blade Phantoms burst from the ground, Symbol pressed her Wizard Driver’s left Shift Lever four times. [MAGICAL TOUCH GO! VERY NICE!] Then she scanned her left glove over her Wizard Driver’s Hand Author. [ACTIVE! S RANK SPELL! THE BEST!] Red lightning surged through the Slasher Defend Claws as Symbol leapt into the air. “Fortress slash!” she locked the Slasher Defend Claws over her helmet like a drill. Red lightning was emitted from her body, transforming her into a tornado of red lightning that slammed into the two Phantoms. Red lightning sparked over their bodies as sparks were drill out of them until they both exploded.

Symbol dispelled the Slasher Defend Style, leaving her in the Active Style as she drew the Active Blade and turned to face a pair of Blade Phantoms. Symbol pulled on the Active Blade’s thumb, opening its Hand Author. [COME ON A SLASH SHAKE HANDS!] She scanned her left glove over the Active Blade’s Hand Author. [ACTIVE! SLASH STRIKE!] Red lightning thundered up and down the Active Blade as Symbol ran forwards. “Red Slash!” she slashed both of the Phantoms diagonally, red lightning crackled over their bodies as they both exploded.

Then Symbol turned to a pair of Blade Phantoms that had just jumped out of the ground and transformed the Active Blade into the Active Rifle, she pulled on the thumb, opening its Hand Author. [COME ON A SHOOTING SHAKE HANDS!] Symbol scanned her left glove over the Active Rifle’s Hand Author. [ACTIVE! SHOOTING STRIKE!] Red lighting ran up the gun as Symbol pulled the trigger. “Red Bolt!” the Active Rifle discharged a beam of red lightning that shot through the air and slammed into the two Phantoms. Both of them twitched and exploded.

Then another Wisp Phantom appeared from thin air. “Not again!” Symbol switched the Active Ring for the Advance Ring and pressed her Wizard Driver’s left Shift Lever. Symbol rolled away from a blow and pressed her Wizard Driver’s left Shift Lever. [TOUCH TO ADVANCE YOUR CLASS!] She scanned her left glove over her Wizard Driver’s Hand Author. [ADVANCE PLEASE!] Then Symbol held her left glove out in front of herself as the Wisp Phantom phased. The advance magic circle appeared in front of her and sent the Wisp Phantom flying back while it moved back through Symbol, transforming her into the Advance Style.

While the Wisp Phantom was down, Symbol winced as she pressed her Wizard Driver’s left Shift Lever twice. [TOUCH TO CAST THE NEXT LEVEL!] Then she scanned her left glove over her Wizard Driver’s Hand Author. [ADVANCE B TIER SPELL!] The emitters summoned yellow particles that collected around Symbol’s right fist. She dashed forwards and tried to slam her fist into the Phantom’s face. Only to wince at the last second and that gave the Wisp Phantom enough time to spin around her fist and punch her in the faceplate, making sparks explode.

Symbol slid back and was attack relentlessly by the Wisp Phantom it cut her across the chestplate five times as she managed to press the Wizard Driver’s left Shift Lever four times. [TOUCH TO CAST THE NEXT LEVEL! VERY NICE!] Then she scanned her left glove over her Wizard Driver’s Hand Author as the emitters ejected yellow particles. [ADVANCE S TIER SPELL! THE BEST!] They gathered around Symbol’s legs as she winced. “Back off!” Symbol threw out a spin kick that slammed into the Wisp Phantom. Or at least it would have if it had not dodged at the last second. However, the kick did still clip the Wisp Phantom with enough force to drive it back.

With the room she had gained, Symbol added the Breaker Ring to her left glove and pressed her Wizard Driver’s left Shift Lever again. [TOUCH TO ADVANCE YOUR CLASS!] Then she scanned her left glove over her Wizard Driver’s Hand Author as the Wisp Phantom phased at her. [ADVANCE BREAKER PLEASE!] She held her left glove forwards and the breaker magic circle appeared in front of her, then it moved back through her after the Wisp Phantom had bounced off it.

The Wisp Phantom hissed in anger as it phased at Symbol once more. She pressed her Wizard Driver’s left Shift Lever twice. [TOUCH TO CAST THE NEXT LEVEL!] Then she scanned her left glove over her Wizard Driver’s Hand Author as the Wisp Phantom turned solid and swung at her with its forearm blade. [ADVANCE BREAKER B TIER SPELL!] The emitters on her body emitted red magical energy that gathered around Symbol’s right fist as she ducked under the blade. Symbol slammed an uppercut into the Phantom’s chin, sending it flying into the air.

The Wisp Phantom recovered and phased at Symbol again, kicking her in the chestplate. Symbol grunted in pain as she pressed her Wizard Driver’s left Shift Lever once. [TOUCH TO CAST THE NEXT LEVEL!] Then she scanned her left glove over her Wizard Driver’s Hand Author as the emitters glowed. [ADVANCE BREAKER C TIER SPELL!] Yellow magical energy wrapped around her right fist as Symbol threw it forwards. The Wisp Phantom countered with a fist of its own and the two impacted. A shockwave of red and black energy roared outwards, shattering all of the church’s windows.

“Final!” shouted Symbol. The Wisp Phantom agreed as it clenched its right hand into a fist and charged it with black energy. Symbol pressed her Wizard Driver’s left Shift Lever four times. [TOUCH TO CAST THE NEXT LEVEL! VERY NICE!] The emitters fired red and yellow magical energy that wrapped around Symbol’s left fist as the two charged at each other. [ADVANCE BREAKER S TIER SPELL! THE BEST!] Just as it looked like they were going to cross counter each other, Symbol weaved to the side and slammed her fist into the Wisp Phantom’s side. “Advance Impact!” shouted Symbol as, in a shower of sparks, the Phantom was sent flying backwards and exploded.

Symbol switched the Advance and Breaker Rings for the Active Ring and pressed her Wizard Driver’s left Shift Lever. [MAGICAL TOUCH HENSHIN!] She scanned her left glove over her Wizard Driver’s Hand Author. [ACTIVE PLEASE!] Then she held it out to the side. [LET’S GO!] The active magic circle appeared and moved through Symbol.

The church doors opened and Symbol dashed inside to see the Fake Kate being cornered by the four-armed Phantom.

“Sunset!” she shouted.

“Kate!” yelled Symbol.

The Phantom picked up the girl and threw her onto the floor, before running through a portal.

Symbol ran up to the Fake Kate “Kate! Are you ok?”

She got back to her feet, as a dark aura appeared around her. “I’m fine, but you're dead!” 

“Oh great, another demon disguised as my friend!” stated the Kamen Rider flatly, as she pressed the left shift lever once. [MAGICAL TOUCH GO!] Then she scanned her left glove over her Wizard Driver’s Hand Author. [ACTIVE! C RANK SPELL!] Lightning gathered in her palm

The Fake Kate backed up. “Wait! You would kill your old friend?!”

“If you were the real Kate, then no. But since your just a Phantom impersonating her, YES!” Symbol slammed her palm into the Fake Kate’s chest, making red lightning course through her body, destroying her.
> Interlude 3
> --------------------------------------------------------------------------

Symbol jumped through the portal, leaving the corpse of the Fake Kat behind. When she exited the portal she found herself standing on a platform, above her was the Fake Kamen Rider Dante.

“Welcome to hell sister, he mocked.

“I know your not Dante! So don’t call me sister!” shouted Symbol in rage.

The Fake Dante smirked. “Cute. You know I was the one running away, living in the slums. You enjoyed a comfortable life!”

“WHAT THE HELL?!?! I saw our, no your not Dante, my mother being killed before my eyes, then was thrown through time! HOW IS THAT COMFORTABLE?!” screamed Symbol in rage.

“Looks who's on the top now! You don’t belong anywhere! I guess that’s why you're here!” mocked the fake. “That and cuz I killed you!” he jumped down with a copy of the Rebellion Blade as he punched his Nephilim Ring into its slot. [ONE!] The Rebellion Blade’s mouth opened to reveal a single light blue and blood red dot. [NEPHILIM SABER STRIKE!] The Fake Dante brought the copy of the Rebellion Blade over his helmet.

Symbol guarded with the Active Blade, she barely even felt the blow. “If the real Dante could never beat me,” she slid the Boost and Defend Rings onto her right glove, then pressed her Wizard Driver’s right Shift Lever. [MAGIC TOUCHIE HENSHIN!] Then she scanned her right glove over her Wizard Driver’s Hand Author. [BOOST DEFEND PLEASE!] The two magic circles appeared and moved through her.

As the Fake Dante continued to try and force his blade down, Symbol pressed her Wizard Driver’s right Shift Lever. [MAGIC TOUCHIE GO!] She scanned her right glove over her Wizard Driver’s Hand Author as grey magical energy covered the Defend Shield. [DEFEND MAGIC PLEASE!] “THEN WHAT MAKES YOU THINK AN IMPOSTER CAN!?” Symbol slammed her Defend Shield into the Fake Dante’s stomach. He was sent flying back and crashed into a rock.

“That should take care of him,” muttered Symbol.

“Hey!” shouted the Fake Dante.

“Or not,” Symbol turned back towards the Fake Dante and saw him on a higher platform.

“Up here!” he flipped her off and walked out of sight.

Symbol growled. She switched the Active Ring for the Swift Ring and pressed her Wizard Driver’s left Shift Lever. [MAGICAL TOUCH HENSHIN!] Then she scanned her left glove over her Wizard Driver’s Hand Author. [SWIFT PLEASE!] Symbol held her left glove into the air as the swift magic circle appeared. [DASH AWAY!] It fell through her.

She added the Wing and Zoomer Rings to her right glove, then pressed her Wizard Driver’s right Shift Lever. [MAGIC TOUCHIE HENSHIN!] She held her right glove over her Wizard Driver’s Hand Author. [WING ZOOMER PLEASE!] The two magic circles appeared as Symbol held her right glove into the air, then they both fell through her.

The Kamen Rider ran to the edge of the gap and struck her Wizard Driver’s right Shift Lever twice. [MAGIC TOUCHIE GO!] She scanned her right glove over her Wizard Driver’s Hand Author. [ZOOMER MAGIC PLEASE!] The Speed Wings ignited, sending her shooting over the edge of the gap.

Symbol repeated this twice more as the got the ledge of a nearby island. The same one that the Fake Dante was on. “I still can’t see him,” muttered Symbol as she looked around. She ran around the ledge, only to get back to the starting point. “What the-?! Oh! This ledge circles the island,” Symbol understood.

She looked around. “There’s a good lock-on point,” she switched the Swift Ring for the Burst Ring, then slammed her glove down on her Wizard Driver’s left Shift Lever. [MAGICAL TOUCH HENSHIN!] Symbol scanned her left glove over her Wizard Driver’s Hand Author. [BURST PLEASE!] Then she held it out to the side as the burst magic circle appeared behind her. [CAST THE SPELL!] It moved through Symbol.

She pressed her Wizard Driver’s left Shift Lever four times. [MAGICAL TOUCH GO! VERY NICE!] Symbol scanned her left glove over her Wizard Driver’s Hand Author as purple light started to collect around her. [BURST! S RANK SPELL! THE BEST!] The Kamen Rider vanished in a blast of purple light, appearing on a ledge that stuck out of the next island.

Symbol ran along the ledge and into a room-shaped rock formation. Suddenly the barriers appeared and a Death Knight Phantom burst from the ground.

“Oh no,” muttered Symbol, she still didn’t have access to the Giga Ring and wouldn’t be able to fight this Phantom. Suddenly, a green light shone from her left glove. “Oh yes!” shouted Symbol as the light formed into the Giga Ring. “Time to party!” she pressed her Wizard Driver’s left Shift Lever once. [MAGICAL TOUCH HENSHIN!] Then she scanned her left glove over her Wizard Driver’s Hand Author. [GIGA PLEASE!] Symbol held her left glove down to the ground and the Giga magic circle appeared. [BREAK THROUGH!] It rose up through her and Symbol felt the familiar power of the Giga Style roaring throughout her body.

The Death Knight Phantom charged as Symbol struck her Wizard Driver’s left Shift Lever once. [MAGICAL TOUCH SPELL!] Then she scanned her left glove over her Wizard Driver’s Hand Author as the Death Knight Phantom got within fist range. [GIGA C RANK SPELL!] Green magical energy covered her fist as Symbol cocked it back and slammed it into the Death Knight Phantom. Which raised its shield, only to be sent skidding backwards as grey cracks appeared in the shield.

The Death Knight Phantom hissed in anger as it charged once more. This time Symbol pressed her Wizard Driver’s left Shift Lever three times. [MAGICAL TOUCH SPELL!] The Death Knight Phantom drew back its sword as Symbol scanned her left glove over her Wizard Driver’s Hand Author. [GIGA A RANK SPELL!] Green magical energy covered Symbol’s right glove as she reached up and closed her fingers around the Death Knight Phantom’s sword. Stopping it cold, the Phantom tried to pull its sword lose, only for Symbol to turn her glove, shattering the sword.

The Death Knight Phantom staggered back in shock as Symbol pressed her Wizard Driver’s left Shift Lever twice. [MAGICAL TOUCH SPELL!] She scanned her left glove over her Wizard Driver’s Hand Author as it was covered in green magical energy. [GIGA B RANK SPELL!] Symbol pulled back her fist and slammed it onto the ground. A line of green energy tore through the ground from the impact point. The Death Knight Phantom tried to block with its shield, only for the shield to throw in the towel and shatter.

“Now’s my chance!” Symbol pressed her Wizard Driver’s left Shift Lever four times. [MAGICAL TOUCH GO! VERY NICE!] She scanned her left glove over her Wizard Driver’s Hand Author then clenched it into a fist as it was covered in green magical energy. [GIGA! S RANK SPELL! THE BEST!] Symbol stomped forwards. “Giga Fist!” then she punched the Death Knight Phantom in the chest, green light shone from the impact point before the Phantom exploded.

At that moment, several Lesser Blade Phantoms jumped from the ground. “Let’s do this!” shouted Symbol as she added the Punch and Drill Rings to her right glove. [MAGIC TOUCHIE HENSHIN!] Symbol pressed her Wizard Driver’s left Shift Lever, then she held her left glove down to the ground. [PUNCH DRILL PLEASE!] The two magic circles appeared under her boots and rose up through her.

Two of the Lesser Blade Phantom ran at her as Symbol pressed her Wizard Driver’s left Shift Lever once. [MAGIC TOUCHIC GO!] She scanned her left glove over her Wizard Driver’s Hand Author as the Punch Drillers burst into crimson flames. [PUNCH MAGIC PLEASE!] Symbol took a pair of slashes across her chestplate, taking no damage whatsoever as she slammed her fists into the Lesser Blade Phantoms. Red cracks spread through their bodies until both of them exploded.

Symbol drew the Giga Axe as three more Lesser Blade Phantoms ran at her. She pulled on its thumb, opening its Hand Author. [COME ON A SMASH SHAKE HANDS!] She scanned her left glove over the Giga Axe’s Hand Author as red magical energy gathered around it. [GIGA SMASH STRIKE!] Symbol swung the Giga Axe around as it burst into flames. “Giga Strike!” she swung it in a wide horizontal arc, cutting a glowing red line through all three of the Lesser Blade Phantoms. They twitched and then exploded.

Suddenly, four blades slammed into Symbol’s backplate, this was enough to do damage through her thick armour. Grunting, Symbol struck her Wizard Driver’s right Shift Lever twice. [MAGIC TOUCHIC GO!] Then she scanned her right glove over her Wizard Driver’s Hand Author as the Punch Drillers started to spin. [DRILL MAGIC PLEASE!] Purple magical energy covered the Punch Drillers as Symbol pulled them back and slammed them into the ground, from which burst of a wall of thick rock.

Before the four Lesser Blade Phantoms had a chance to do anything, Symbol struck her Wizard Driver’s left Shift Lever four times. [MAGICAL TOUCH GO! VERY NICE!] Green magical energy covered the Punch Drillers after Symbol scanned her left glove over her Wizard Driver’s Hand Author. [GIGA! S RANK SPELL! THE BEST!] Symbol pulled back her fists and slammed the Puncher Drillers into the wall, covering in it green magical energy. The wall shot forwards, slamming into the Lesser Blade Phantoms and throwing them over the edge of the island.

Then things got worse as three Death Knight Phantoms burst from the ground.

“How many of you are there?!” shouted Symbol as she switched the Drill Ring for the Terra Ring and pressed her Wizard Driver’s right Shift Lever. [MAGIC TOUCHIE HENSHIN!] The Death Knight Phantom’s charged as Symbol scanned her right glove over her Wizard Driver’s Hand Author. [PUNCH TERRA PLEASE!] Symbol held her right glove down to the ground as the terra magic circle appeared under her boots and rose up through her.

Then Symbol drew the Giga Axe, transformed it into the Giga Spear and pulled on its thumb, opening its Hand Author. [COME ON A STAB SHAKE HANDS!] She shook her left glove with the Giga Spear’s Hand Author as green magical energy formed around the front of it. [GIGA! STAB STRIKE!] A energy formed into a pair of tank tread constructs, one on either side of the Giga Spear’s head. “Terra Ripper!” Symbol stabbed the Gear Spear forwards, tearing through the first Death Knight Phantom’s shield and sending the Phantom flying back as the shield practically exploded.

The other two Death Knight Phantoms brought their swords down on Symbol. She pressed her Wizard Driver’s right Shift Lever twice. [MAGIC TOUCHIC GO!] Then she scanned her right glove over her Wizard Driver’s Hand Author as black magical energy gathered around the Punch Cutters. [TERRA MAGIC PLEASE!] They started to spin, slowly at first before picking up speed. Symbol threw them both up and used them to block both the sword. Grunting as sparks flew she forced the two Death Knight Phantom’s backwards with a pair of shoves.

“Let's go!” Symbol pressed her Wizard Driver’s right Shift Lever once. [MAGIC TOUCHIC GO!] Red magical energy covered the Punch Cutters after Symbol scanned her right glove over her Wizard Driver’s Hand Author. [PUNCH MAGIC PLEASE!] The Punch Cutters slowed to a stop. Then they slowly started to spin the other way while picking up speed until they were a blur. Symbol rammed both of them into the ground, took a step forward and pulled them up. A pair of red vertical energy lines formed, they tore through the air and slammed into the Death Knight Phantom’s shields, making red cracks spark through them.

“One more hit should be enough,” Symbol switched the Punch Ring for the Bombardment Ring and slammed her glove down on her Wizard Driver’s right Shift Lever. [MAGIC TOUCHIE HENSHIN!] Then she scanned her right glove over her Wizard Driver’s Hand Author before holding it down to the ground. [BOMBARDMENT TERRA PLEASE!] Symbol held her right glove down to the ground as the bombardment magic circle appeared under her boots and rose up through her.

Symbol took aim with the Chain Cannons as she pressed her Wizard Driver’s right Shift Lever. [MAGIC TOUCHIC GO!] She scanned her right glove over her Wizard Driver’s Hand Author as the chains on the Chain Cannons started to spin. [TERRA MAGIC PLEASE!] Black magical energy was fed up the Chain Cannons before Symbol fired a pair of shotgun shells. They slammed into both of the Death Knight Phantom’s shields and burst. Sparks exploded from the shields before they both broke apart.

Then Symbol pressed her Wizard Driver’s right Shift Lever once as the two Death Knight Phantoms recovered. [MAGIC TOUCHIC GO!] She scanned her right glove over her Wizard Driver’s Hand Author as the Chain Cannon’s chains started to spin, quickly picking up speed. [BOMBARDMENT MAGIC PLEASE!] Blue magical energy raced up the Chain Cannons before blasting out of the barrels as a pair of beams that shot through the air and slammed into the two Death Knight Phantoms, sending the both of them flying backwards with sparks coming from their bodies as their swords shattered.

“Now!” Symbol pressed her Wizard Driver’s left Shift Lever four times. [MAGICAL TOUCH GO! VERY NICE!] She scanned her left glove across her Wizard Driver’s Hand Author a the ground in front of her started to glow. [GIGA! S RANK SPELL! THE BEST!] A metre wide sphere of rock was pulled from the ground. “Terra Buster!” shouted Symbol the chains of the Chain Cannons started to spin. Green magical energy raced up their barrels as Symbol fired. They beams slammed into the rock and burst into fragments that shot at the Death Knight Phantoms as a green hail storm. Sparks and micro-explosions came off the two Phantoms before the both of them exploded.

“Wait, weren’t there three of them?” questioned Symbol. Sparks exploded from her backplate as the last Death Knight Phantom attacked her from behind. “Argh! There you are!” shouted Symbol as she switched the Bombardment Ring for the Punch Ring and punched down on her Wizard Driver’s right Shift Lever. [MAGIC TOUCHIE HENSHIN!] She scanned her right glove over her Wizard Driver’s Hand Author. [PUNCH TERRA PLEASE!] Symbol held her right glove down to the ground as the punch magic circle appeared under her boots and rose up through her.

Symbol blocked a slash from the Death Knight Phantom and punched it in the gut, sending it staggering backwards as she pressed her Wizard Driver’s left Shift Lever four times. [MAGICAL TOUCH GO! VERY NICE!] Then she scanned her left glove over her Wizard Driver’s Hand Author as the Death Knight Phantom charged its sword with black magical energy. [GIGA! S RANK SPELL! THE BEST!] The Punch Cutters started to spin as Symbol pulled them back and green energy gathered around them. The green energy peeled off, transforming into a pair of Punch Cutter constructs as the originals became a blur. Symbol swung them down, smashing the Death Knight Phantom between the constructs and sawing it to pieces.

Symbol looked around as the barriers remained up. Waiting for the next Phantom.

She was not disappointed when another Death Knight Phantom burst from the ground.

“Here we go!” she switched the Punch and Quake Rings for the Bombardment and Quake Rings as she pressed her Wizard Driver’s right Shift Lever. [MAGIC TOUCHIE HENSHIN!] Symbol scanned her right glove over her Wizard Driver’s Hand Author as the Death Knight Phantom charged. [BOMBARDMENT QUAKE PLEASE!] She held her right glove down to the ground, the two magic circles appeared and rose up through her, knocking the Death Knight Phantom back.

Then Symbol drew the Giga Spear and pulled on its thumb, opening its Hand Author. [COME ON A STAB SHAKE HANDS!] She shook hands with the Giga Spear’s Hand Author. [GIGA! STAB STRIKE!] An orange piston contact appeared around the Giga Spear’s blade. Symbol stabbed forwards as the Death Knight Phantom brought up its shield. “Quake Blast!” the piston construct fired, slamming into the Death Knight Phantom’s shield, making orange cracks spread through it until the shield shattered.

The Death Knight Phantom slashed Symbol across the chestplate with its sword. Sparks flew as it spun around and slashed Symbol, using the momentum to do more damage. The third slash was blocked with the Giga Spear’s shaft. “Your getting stronger,” Symbol transformed the Giga Spear into the Giga Axe as she shoved the Death Knight Phantom back. Then she pulled on its thumb, opening its Hand Author. [COME ON A SMASH SHAKE HANDS!] Symbol ducker under another swing and punched the Death Knight Phantom in the back as she shook gloves with the Giga Axe’s Hand Author. [GIGA SMASH STRIKE!] Blue magical energy gathered in an orb at the top of the Giga Axe. “Bombardment Lancer!” shouted Symbol as she thrust the Giga Spear forwards, firing a beam of blue energy that slammed into the Death Knight Phantom and smashed it into a pillar.

Symbol saw micro-explosions go off around the Phantom. She pressed her Wizard Driver’s left Shift Lever four times. [MAGICAL TOUCH GO! VERY NICE!] Then she scanned her left glove over her Wizard Driver’s Hand Author as she took aim with the Impact Cannon. [GIGA! S RANK SPELL! THE BEST!] Symbol fired a shell of green magical energy that slammed into the Phantom. “Quake Burst!” the Impact Cannon’s pistons fired and the orb fired six pulses of green magical energy that made sparks explode from the Death Knight Phantom until it exploded.

“So the cannon fodder comes to finish the job,” muttered Symbol as she looked around at the several Lesser Blade Phantoms that had just burst from the ground. She switched the Giga Ring for the Active Ring and pressed her Wizard Driver’s left Shift Lever. [MAGICAL TOUCH HENSHIN!] Then she scanned her left glove over her Wizard Driver’s Hand Author. [ACTIVE PLEASE!] Symbol held her left glove out to the side as the active magic circle appeared. [LET’S GO!] Then it moved through her.

Five Lesser Blade Phantoms ran at Symbol from all side as she pressed her Wizard Driver’s left Shift Lever three times. [MAGICAL TOUCH GO!] Then she scanned her left glove over her Wizard Driver’s Hand Author as the Phantoms closed in on her. [ACTIVE! A RANK SPELL!] Red lightning covered her body and blasted out in five beams that smashed into the five Lesser Blade Phantoms, tearing through them and causing them to explode.

She added the Slasher and Aqua Rings to her right glove and hit her Wizard Driver’s right Shift Lever. [MAGIC TOUCHIE HENSHIN!] Symbol scanned her right glove across her Wizard Driver’s Hand Author as three Lesser Blade Phantoms rushed at her from the front. [SLASHER AQUA PLEASE!] She held her right glove out to the side and the two magic circles appeared before moving through her.

As the Lesser Blade Phantoms approached, Symbol pulled on the Active Blade’s thumb, opening its Hand Author. [COME ON A SLASH SHAKE HANDS!] Symbol held her left glove over the Active Blade’s Hand Author as green magical energy started to cover it. [ACTIVE! SLASH STRIKE!] The energy transformed into a trio of green claws, one on either side of the Active Blade. “Slasher Slash!” Symbol ran forwards and slashed through one of the Lesser Blade Phantoms, leaving three glowing cuts through it. She sidestepped the second Lesser Blade Phantom’s sword and cut it across the waist, then she swung down, slashing through the third Lesser Blade Phantom, just as the first exploded. This started a chain reaction as the other two exploded shortly after.

Seeing the last three Lesser Blade Phantoms running at her, Symbol transformed the Active Blade into the Active Rifle. Then she pulled on its thumb, opening its Hand Author. [COME ON A SHOOTING SHAKE HANDS!] Symbol shook gloves with the Active Rifle’s Hand Author as water started to gather around the barrel. [ACTIVE! SHOOTING STRIKE!] She took aim. “Aqua Bolts!” Symbol pulled the trigger, firing a trio of water bolts that shot through the air and slammed into the Lesser Blade Phantoms with enough force to punch a hole through them. Ocean blue cracks spread through all three of them before they exploded.

The barriers collapsed.

“Are you following me?” the Fake Dante’s voice came from everywhere.

“No, we’re just going in the same directions!” shouted Symbol as she ran through an archway.

“You know you can’t keep up with your big brother,” taunted the voice of the Fake Dante.

“I’m the big sister!” shouted Symbol.

“Try harder,” the Fake Dante ignored Symbol.

“That’s going to get really annoying really fast,” muttered Symbol.

She saw the Fake Dante up on a ledge and glared at him before seeing a train wedge into the side of the rockface. Symbol added the Boost and Bind Rings to her right glove and hit her Wizard Driver’s right Shift Lever. [MAGIC TOUCHIE HENSHIN!] Then she aligned her right glove with her Wizard Driver’s Hand Author. [BOOST BIND PLEASE!] Symbol held her right glove out to the side as the two magic circles appeared and moved through her.

Then she slammed down on her Wizard Driver’s right Shift Lever twice. [MAGIC TOUCHIE GO!] Orange energy collected around the Boost Locks after Symbol scanned her right glove over her Wizard Driver’s Hand Author. [BIND MAGIC PLEASE!] Symbol threw a kick and an orange chain shot out of the Boost Locks. It stabbed into the train car. “Please let this work,” Symbol pulled her leg back down, pulling the train car out of the rock where it hovered in the air.

“Actually,” Symbol yanked her leg to the side, smashing the car into the Fake Dante and crushing him against the cliff face.

After several seconds Symbol raised a visor brow. “If that really worked then I know he wasn’t the real Dante.”

The Fake Dante climb out of the hole in the train car’s roof. “Ugh, I hate public transport,” he grunted.

Symbol burst out laughing. “You were really hurt by that?! The real Dante took worse as a ten-year-old!” 

The Fake Dante snarled.

*Crack*

The rock face started to give way.

The Fake Dante got up and ran off as the train car fell into the endless drop.

“That’s some of my anger worked out,” Symbol paused. “Why did I feel even better when I imagined doing that to a yellow-haired girl?” she thought about it for several seconds before shrugging.

Symbol hit her Wizard Driver’s right Shift Lever once. [MAGIC TOUCHIE GO!] Then she scanned her right glove over her Wizard Driver’s Hand Author as purple magical energy ran into the Boost Locks. [BOOST MAGIC PLEASE!] Symbol jumped to a rail that was sticking out of the rock face, then she leapt to another rail before landing on the front of a train car. It was dangling over the void and behind held by another train car that was coupled to it inside a tunnel.

“I must be inside a train station,” Symbol realised. She looked around and saw that her only way in was another tunnel that was blocked by another train car. “Not a problem,” she slammed her glove down on her Wizard Driver’s right Shift Lever twice. [MAGIC TOUCHIE GO!] Then she scanned her right glove over her Wizard Driver’s Hand Author as the Boost Locks lit up with orange magical energy. [BIND MAGIC PLEASE!] Symbol spun around and threw a spin kick. An orange chain shot out of the Boost Locks, it stabbed into the train car and Symbol jerked her leg back. The train car was pulled over the edge and into the endless void. “Yikes!” Symbol noticed the chain being pulled after the train car and turned the chain back into energy.

“That was close,” she pressed her Wizard Driver’s right Shift Lever once. [MAGIC TOUCHIE GO!] Then she scanned her right glove over her Wizard Driver’s Hand Author as purple magical energy ran into the Boost Locks while she took a step back. [BOOST MAGIC PLEASE!] Symbol jumped, easily crossing the distance and slammed into the tunnel wall. 

“I jump a bit too hard,” she muttered in pain. Symbol got back up and ran through the tunnel. “Now, where is that Fake Dante?” she growled out as her shoulder pauldron recovered.

She ran out onto a ledge and saw a pair of metal girders, only one of them was transparent. Symbol placed her right glove on it and felt no resistance as her glove passed through it. “So, how do I solve this one?” after a second of thinking, she muttered. “Violence is often the answer,” Symbol switched the Boost Ring for the Ice Ring and pressed her Wizard Driver’s right Shift Lever. [MAGIC TOUCHIE HENSHIN!] Then she scanned her right glove over her Wizard Driver’s Hand Author. [ICE BIND PLEASE!] The Kamen Rider held her right glove out to the side as the ice magic circle appeared and moved through her.

Symbol drew the Active Rifle and pulled on its thumb, opening its Hand Author. [COME ON A SHOOTING SHAKE HANDS!] She shook hands with the Active Rifle’ Hand Author as a bind magic circle appeared in front of the barrel. [ACTIVE! SHOOTING STRIKE!] Symbol took aim and pulled the trigger. “Bind Bolt!” firing an orange spike that slammed into the girder. The spike transformed into a ring of orange magical energy that looped around the girder and slammed closed, forcing it to turn solid.

Symbol tapped her boot against it and was pleased that she could stand on the girder without falling through it now. “I didn’t actually think that would work,” she ran up to the end of the girder and jumped to the second one as she switched the Ice Ring for the Boost Ring and the Bind Ring for the Defend Ring as she pressed her Wizard Driver’s right Shift Lever. [MAGIC TOUCHIE HENSHIN!] Symbol scanned her right glove over her Wizard Driver’s Hand Author and held it out to the side. [BOOST DEFEND PLEASE!] The two magic circles appeared to Symbol’s right and moved through her.

She hit her Wizard Driver’s right Shift Lever once. [MAGIC TOUCHIE GO!] Before scanning her right glove over her Wizard Driver’s Hand Author as purple magical energy ran into the Boost Grieves. [BOOST MAGIC PLEASE!] Symbol took a step back and jumped, leaving a purple shockwave as she landed on a high rock.

Seeing the gap was too big to jump, Symbol switched the Active Ring for the Swift Ring and pressed her Wizard Driver’s left Shift Lever. [MAGICAL TOUCH HENSHIN!] She scanned her left glove over her Wizard Driver’s Hand Author. [SWIFT PLEASE!] Then she held it up into the air as the swift magic circle appeared. [DASH AWAY!] It dropped down through her.

As she started to drop, Symbol added the Wing and Zoomer Rings to her right glove as she pressed her Wizard Driver’s right Shift Lever again. [MAGIC TOUCHIE HENSHIN!] Symbol scanned her right glove over her Wizard Driver’s Hand Author and then held it up into the air. [WING ZOOMER PLEASE!] The two magic circles appeared and zoomed down through her.

Then Symbol pressed her Wizard Driver’s right Shift Lever twice. [MAGIC TOUCHIE GO!] She scanned her right glove over her Wizard Driver’s Hand Author as the Speed Wings ignited. [ZOOMER MAGIC PLEASE!] Shooting Symbol over the gap, she turned in the air and landed on her boots.

Then she jumped again and landed inside a tunnel that had a hole in the side of it.

Symbol looked around for a few seconds before looking up and seeing a hole in the ceiling. But it was not big enough for her to jump through it. “Lets making it bigger,” she switched the Swift Ring for the Active Ring and pressed her Wizard Driver’s left Shift Lever. [MAGICAL TOUCH HENSHIN!] She scanned her left glove over her Wizard Driver’s Hand Author. [ACTIVE PLEASE!] Then she held her left glove out to the side as the active magic circle appeared to her left. [LET’S GO!] It moved through her.

Symbol added the Boost and Bind Rings to her right glove before pressing her Wizard Driver’s right Shift Lever. [MAGIC TOUCHIE HENSHIN!] Then she scanned her right glove over her Wizard Driver’s Hand Author and held it out to the side. [BOOST BIND PLEASE!] The two magic circles appeared to her right and moved through her.

Then Symbol slammed her right glove down on her Wizard Driver’s right Shift Lever. [MAGIC TOUCHIE GO!] She scanned her right glove over her Wizard Driver’s Hand Author as the Boost Locks were covered in red magical energy. [BIND MAGIC PLEASE!] Symbol spun around and kicked out with the Boost Locks, firing an orange chain that speared into the area around the hole. Symbol pulled her leg down, yanking the edge of the hole away and making it large enough for her to get through.

After doing that, Symbol pressed her Wizard Driver’s right Shift Lever once. [MAGIC TOUCHIE GO!] She scanned her right glove over her Wizard Driver’s Hand Author. [BOOST MAGIC PLEASE!] Purple energy ran into the Boost Locks as Symbol jumped into the air, getting through the hole and into the tunnel.

Symbol ran onto the platform and into the hall where she followed it around to the left and into a large room.

The Fake Dante was at the other end. “Give up, Sunset!” he shouted.

The barriers appear and so did three Lesser Blade Phantoms along with a Ravager Phantom.

“Let’s lock you up first,” Symbol pulled on the Active Rifle’s thumb, opening its Hand Author. [COME ON A SHOOTING SHAKE HANDS!] She scanned glove over the Active Rifle’s Hand Author, letting a bind magic circle appear in front of its barrel. [ACTIVE! SHOOTING STRIKE!] Symbol took aim and fired an orange spike from the Active Rifle. “Bind Bolt!” shouted Symbol as the spike hit the Ravager Phantom, transforming into a binding ring that locked around the Phantom, stopping it from moving.

Then Symbol switched the Boost Ring for the Ice Ring and jumped back from a slash by the first Lesser Blade Phantom. Then she ducked under a slash from the second Lesser Blade Phantom as she hit her Wizard Driver’s right Shift Lever. [MAGIC TOUCHIE HENSHIN!] Symbol jumped over the third Lesser Blade Phantom’s sword as she scanned her right glove over her Wizard Driver’s Hand Author. [ICE BIND PLEASE!] Symbol held her right glove out to the side as the ice magic circle appeared and moved through her.

As the Lesser Blade Phantoms ran at her, Symbol pressed her Wizard Driver’s right Shift Lever twice. [MAGIC TOUCHIE GO!] She scanned her right glove over her Wizard Driver’s Hand Author as she punched the Grapple Gauntlet into the ground. [BIND MAGIC PLEASE!] Out of which burst three chains of orange energy, they wrapped around two of the Phantoms and stabbed themselves into the ground. The third Phantom was able to escape.

Then Symbol pressed her Wizard Driver’s right Shift Lever once. [MAGIC TOUCHIE GO!] She deflected the Lesser Blade Phantom’s sword with the Active Blade and was able to scan her right glove over her Wizard Driver’s Hand Author. [ICE MAGIC PLEASE!] She threw the Icey Bracer forwards and fired five spikes that slammed into the Phantom and caused it to explode.

Then Symbol turned to the trapped Lesser Blade Phantoms as she pulled on the Active Blade’s thumb, opening its Hand Author. [COME ON A SLASH SHAKE HANDS!] Then she shook hands with the Active Blade’s Hand Author making an ice magic circle appear around the blade for a second. [ACTIVE! SLASH STRIKE!] Frost covered the Active Blade. “Ice Slash!” Symbol raced forwards and slashed the two Lesser Blade Phantoms across the waist. Ice crept up from the wounds and covered the Phantoms, freezing them before they shattered.

Suddenly, Symbol heard the roar of a chainsaw behind her. “Oh no,” she muttered as the chainsaw slammed into her backplate and sent her flying forwards with sparks coming from the wound. Symbol was able to flip through the air and skidded backwards as she switched the Active Ring for the Burst Ring, then hit her Wizard Driver’s left Shift Lever. [MAGICAL TOUCH HENSHIN!] She scanned her left glove over her Wizard Driver’s Hand Author. [BURST PLEASE!] Then she held it out to the side while the burst magic circle appeared behind her and moved through her. [CAST THE SPELL!] Transforming Symbol into the Burst Style.

The Ravager Phantom revved up its chainsaw as it set itself on fire. While it was doing this, Symbol pressed her Wizard Driver’s left Shift Lever three times. [MAGICAL TOUCH GO!] She scanned her left glove over her Wizard Driver’s Hand Author as the Ravager Phantom charged. [BURST! A RANK SPELL!] Symbol slammed her left glove into the ground and a burst magic circle appeared as a wall burst out of the ground. The Ravager Phantom slammed into the wall and cracks spiderwebbed through it but the wall held.

Symbol added the Dust and Mirror Rings to her right glove as she hit her Wizard Driver’s right Shift Lever. [MAGIC TOUCHIE HENSHIN!] Then she scanned her right glove across her Wizard Driver’s Hand Author. [DUST MIRROR PLEASE!] Symbol held her right glove out to the side as the two magic circles appeared and moved through her.

The Ravager Phantom smashed through the wall as Symbol slammed her glove down on her Wizard Driver’s right Shift Lever. [MAGIC TOUCHIE GO!] She scanned her right glove over her Wizard Driver’s Hand Author as the Ravager Phantom approached. [MIRROR MAGIC PLEASE!] Symbol held her right glove out in front of her as a mirror appeared and out of it raced the Ravager Phantom’s reflecting. They slammed their chainsaws into each other and the Ravager Phantom was able to overpower its reflection, but not without a lot of damage being done.

Then Symbol slammed her right glove down on her Wizard Driver’s right Shift Lever once. [MAGIC TOUCHIE GO!] She scanned her right glove over her Wizard Driver’s Hand Author as dust was drawn from the air. [DUST MAGIC PLEASE!] Symbol threw both of her gloves forwards and a wall of dust formed. It slammed into the Ravager Phantom and smashed it into a wall.

Then Symbol drew the Burst Wand, she pulled on its thumb, opening its Hand Author. [COME ON A CAST SHAKE HANDS!] Then she scanned her right glove over her Burst Wand’s Hand Author as brown magical energy started to collect in front of it. [BURST! CAST STRIKE!] The energy transformed into brown dust that Symbol fired at the Ravager Phantom. The beam smashed into the Phantom and drove it back into a wall.

The Ravager Phantom revved up its chainsaw and swung it at Symbol, firing a crescent of flame at her. “That’s new,” commented Symbol as she transformed the Burst Wand into the Burst Staff and pulled on its thumb, opening its Hand Author. [COME ON A SPELL SHAKE HANDS] Symbol scanned her right glove over the Burst Staff’s Hand Author as silver magical energy built up on the end of the Burst Staff. [BURST! SPELL STRIKE!] The energy formed four spears that crossed in front of Symbol, grabbing the fire crescent and reflecting it back. The attack slammed into the Ravager Phantom and caused it to explode.

At that moment a trio of Death Knight Phantoms burst from the ground as Symbol switched the Burst Ring for the Giga Ring, then she hit her Wizard Driver’s left Shift Lever. [MAGICAL TOUCH HENSHIN!] Symbol scanned her left glove over her Wizard Driver’s Hand Author. [GIGA PLEASE!] She held her left glove down to the ground and the Giga magic circle appeared under her boots. [BREAK THROUGH!] It rose up through her.

One of the Death Knight Phantoms reached Symbol and swung its sword down at her as she struck her Wizard Driver’s left Shift Lever three times. [MAGICAL TOUCH SPELL!] She scanned her left glove over her Wizard Driver’s Hand Author. [GIGA A RANK SPELL!] Symbol crossed her arms was the blade descended, blocking it with her forearm guards as they were covered in a layer of green magical energy that acted as a personal force field.

Symbol brought her right boot up and kicked the Death Knight Phantom back. Then she avoided a pair of slashes from the other two Death Knight Phantoms as she added the Punch and Quake Rings to her right glove before pressing her Wizard Driver’s right Shift Lever. [MAGIC TOUCHIE HENSHIN!] Symbol scanned her right glove over her Wizard Driver’s Hand Author as the three Death Knight Phantoms lunged at her. [PUNCH QUAKE PLEASE!] She held her right glove down to the ground as the two magic circles appeared and rose up through her, knocking the Death Knight Phantoms back.

Then Symbol pressed her Wizard Driver’s right Shift Lever twice. [MAGIC TOUCHIC GO!] She scanned her right glove over her Wizard Driver’s Hand Author as the Death Knight Phantoms charged once more. [QUAKE MAGIC PLEASE!] Symbol pulled the Punch Impacts back and punched forwards with her left, then her right before ending with both of her fists at the same time. Each time the pistons fired, shooting an orb of orb energy that roared through the air. They slammed into the shield of the first Death Knight Phantom, cracks spread through its shield but it did not shatter.

“The shield’s almost broken,” Symbol pressed her Wizard Driver’s right Shift Lever once as she kicked the third Death Knight Phantom back. [MAGIC TOUCHIC GO!] She deflected a slash from the second Death Knight Phantom with her forearm guard and scanned her right glove over her Wizard Driver’s Hand Author. [PUNCH MAGIC PLEASE!] Symbol pulled back her right glove as the Punch Impact’s piston primed. She slammed her fist forwards into the first Death Knight Phantom’s shield. A bolt of flame was fired as the piston on the Punch Impact fired. It tore through the Death Knight Phantom’s shield and caused it to explode.

The first Death Knight Phantom staggered back as it and the other two Death Knight Phantoms recovered and charged at Symbol. She switched the Quake Ring for the Drill Ring and punched down on her Wizard Driver’s right Shift Lever. [MAGIC TOUCHIE HENSHIN!] She scanned her right glove over her Wizard Driver’s Hand Author and held it down to the ground. [PUNCH DRILL PLEASE!] The drill magic circle appeared under Symbol’s boots and rose up through her.

Then Symbol drew the Giga Axe. “I’ve got just the thing,” she pulled on its thumb, opening its Hand Author. [COME ON A SMASH SHAKE HANDS!] Symbol shook hands with the Giga Axe’s Hand Author as red flames flickered around it. [GIGA SMASH STRIKE!] Symbol swung the Giga Axe in a horizontal arc as it was lit on fire. “Fire Swing!” It cut through the third Death Knight Phantom’s shield, the first Death Knight Phantom and the second Death Knight Phantom’s shield. Red cracks joined the orange ones as the shields shattered while the first Death Knight Phantom exploded.

Then Symbol switched the Punch Ring for the Hammer Ring and pressed her Wizard Driver’s right Shift Lever. [MAGIC TOUCHIE HENSHIN!] She scanned her right glove over her Wizard Driver’s Hand Author as the two Death Knight Phantoms started to recover. [HAMMER DRILL PLEASE!] She held her right glove down to the ground and the hammer magic circle appeared, rising up through her.

The two Death Knight Phantoms ran at Symbol as she pressed her Wizard Driver’s left Shift Lever four times. [MAGICAL TOUCH GO! VERY NICE!] Green magical energy started to cover the Drill Hammer as Symbol scanned her left glove over her Wizard Driver’s Hand Author. [GIGA! S RANK SPELL! THE BEST!] The drill on the end of the Driller Hammer started to spin as Symbol pulled it back. “Drilling Rocket!” she swung the Driller Hammer around as the rocket at the back ignited. It slammed into the two Death Knight Phantoms and both of them exploded.

At that moment a Tyrant Phantom pulled itself out of the ground.

“I was wondering when one of you was going to show up!” Symbol pressed her Wizard Driver’s right Shift Lever once. [MAGIC TOUCHIC GO!] Then she scanned her right glove over her Wizard Driver’s Hand Author as the Tyrant Phantom set its fists on fire and ran at Symbol. [HAMMER MAGIC PLEASE!] The rocket engine on the back of the Driller Hammer Ignited as Symbol swung it around. Only for the Tyrant Phantom to block it with one arm. Ignoring the shower of sparks coming from the contact point, it punched Symbol with its other arm, sending her flying backwards.

Symbol growled as she pressed her Wizard Driver’s right Shift Lever once. [MAGIC TOUCHIC GO!] Then she scanned her right glove across her Wizard Driver’s Hand Author as the Tyrant Phantom jumped into the air for a body slam attack. [DRILL MAGIC PLEASE!] Symbol swung the Driller Hammer, swatting the Tyrant Phantom out of the air and sending it flying into a wall.

While the Tyrant Phantom was down, Symbol switched the Drill Ring for the Terra Ring and pressed her Wizard Driver’s right Shift Lever. [MAGIC TOUCHIE HENSHIN!] She scanned her right glove over her Wizard Driver’s Hand Author. [HAMMER TERRA PLEASE!] Then she held her right glove down to the ground as the two magic circles appeared under her boots and rose up through her.

The Driller Hammer transformed into the Ripper Hammer as the Tyrant Phantom got back up and charged. Symbol rolled under a swing, only to be staggered by a backhanded blow that made sparks come from her body. “That hurt!” she pressed her Wizard Driver’s right Shift Lever twice. [MAGIC TOUCHIC GO!] Then she scanned her right glove over her Wizard Driver Hand Author as black magical energy leaked into the Ripper Hammer. [TERRA MAGIC PLEASE!] Symbol swung the Ripper Hammer as it grew in size. The chainsaws on either side of it drew sparks from the Phantom.

The Tyrant Phantom roared in pain as it backhanded Symbol through the air, she flipped and landed on her boots. Symbol dashed towards the Tyrant Phantom as she pressed her Wizard Driver’s right Shift Lever once. [MAGIC TOUCHIC GO!] She scanned her right glove over her Wizard Driver’s Hand Author as the chainsaws on either side of the Ripper Hammer roared to life. [HAMMER MAGIC PLEASE!] She dodged behind the Tyrant Phantom and slashed it across the back, drawing a shower of sparks from it.

Then Symbol switched the Terra Ring for the Quake Ring as the Tyrant Phantom tried to recover. [MAGIC TOUCHIE HENSHIN!] She scanned her left glove over her Wizard Driver’s Hand Author and held it down to the ground. [HAMMER QUAKE PLEASE!] The quake magic circle appeared under Symbol’s boots and rose up through her.

The Tyrant Phantom had recovered by this time as Symbol pressed her Wizard Driver’s right Shift Lever twice. [MAGIC TOUCHIC GO!] She scanned her right glove over her Wizard Driver’s Hand Author as the Tyrant Phantom burst into flames and charged at her. [QUAKE MAGIC PLEASE!] The piston on the Piston Hammer pulled back and Symbol slammed the Piston Hammer into the ground. The piston fired and the whole ground shook. The Tyrant Phantom’s charge was stopped as it stumbled around and tried to regain its balance.

“I’m getting close,” Symbol pulled the Piston Hammer back as she pressed her Wizard Driver’s right Shift Lever once. [MAGIC TOUCHIC GO!] She scanned her right glove over her Wizard Driver’s Hand Author as the Piston Hammer’s piston pulled back. [HAMMER MAGIC PLEASE!] Symbol ran forwards and slammed the Piston Hammer into the side of the Tyrant Phantom. On impact, the piston fired sending a bolt of orange magical energy into the Tyrant Phantom. Sparks exploded from its body as it fell to one knee with micro-explosions going off around it.

“Final, with a new move!” Symbol drew the Giga Axe and pulled on its thumb, opening its Hand Author. [COME ON A SMASH SHAKE HANDS!] Then she shook her left glove with the Giga Axe’s Hand Author. [GIGA SMASH STRIKE!] Green magical energy gathered around the Giga Axe as Symbol leapt into the air. “Hammer Slam!” she came down and slammed the energized Giga Axe down into the Tyrant Phantom’s head. A shockwave of green magical energy was fired through the Phantom, micro-explosions went off around it before it exploded.

Then Symbol noticed some Blade Phantoms appear from the ground. “Last and least,” she switched the Hammer and Quake Rings for the Punch and Drill Rings before pressing her Wizard Driver’s right Shift Lever. [MAGIC TOUCHIE HENSHIN!] Then she scanned her right glove over her Wizard Driver’s Hand Author. [PUNCH DRILL PLEASE!] Symbol held her right glove down to the ground as the two magic circles appeared under her boots and rose up through her.

Symbol blocked a slash with the shaft of the Giga Axe as she pulled on its blade, transforming it into the Giga Spear. She stabbed both of the Blade Phantoms, driving them backwards. Then she pulled on the Giga Spear’s thumb, opening its Hand Author. [COME ON A STAB SHAKE HANDS!] She shook her left glove with the Giga Spear’s Hand Author. [GIGA! STAB STRIKE!] Purple magical energy gathered around the Giga Spear. “Drill Spear!” the energy started to spin like a drill. Symbol pulled the Giga Spear back and threw it forwards. It speared through the air and tore through one of the Blade Phantom’s in a shower of sparks making it explode.

She switched the Giga Ring for the Active Ring and hit her Wizard Driver’s left Shift Lever. [MAGICAL TOUCH HENSHIN!] Then she scanned her left glove over her Wizard Driver’s Hand Author. [ACTIVE PLEASE!] She held her left glove over out to the side as the active magic circle appeared and moved through her. [LET’S GO!]

Then Symbol pressed her Wizard Driver’s left Shift Lever once. [MAGICAL TOUCH GO!] She scanned her left glove over her Wizard Driver’s Hand Author as the Blade Phantom swung. [ACTIVE! C RANK SPELL!] Symbol dodged under a slash from the Blade Phantom and slammed her palm into its chest, sending the red lightning through it as a bolt. Sparks exploded from the Phantom as it staggered back in pain.

Then Symbol pressed her Wizard Driver’s left Shift Lever four times. [MAGICAL TOUCH GO! VERY NICE!] She scanned her left glove over her Wizard Driver’s Hand Author as the Phantom got back up. [ACTIVE! S RANK SPELL! THE BEST!] Red lightning covered her right glove as she clenched it into a fist. “Lightning Impact!” Symbol slammed her right fist into the Blade Phantom’s gut as it ran at her. A bolt of lightning tore through the Blade Phantom, sparks exploded from the entrance and exit points as the Phantom stumbled back and exploded.

The barriers came down.

“Where did it go?” Symbol ran out of the room. “Stop running you fake!” she shouted as she came to a gap and switched the Active Ring for the Swift Ring, then pressed her Wizard Driver’s left Shift Lever. [MAGICAL TOUCH HENSHIN!] She scanned her left glove over her Wizard Driver’s Hand Author. [SWIFT PLEASE!] Then she held her left glove into the air as the swift magic circle appeared. [DASH AWAY!] It fell through her.

Symbol added the Wing and Zoomer Rings to her right glove and pressed her Wizard Driver’s right Shift Lever. [MAGIC TOUCHIE HENSHIN!] She scanned her right glove over her Wizard Driver’s Hand Author and held it up into the air. [WING ZOOMER PLEASE!] The two magic circles appeared and fell down through her.

Symbol took a step back as she pressed her Wizard Driver’s right Shift Lever once. [MAGIC TOUCHIE GO!] She scanned her right glove over her Wizard Driver’s Hand Author as she dashed forwards. [WING MAGIC PLEASE!] Symbol took a flying leap and ignited the Speed Wings. She shot over the gap with the Speed Wings leaving a trail of red light behind her.

Symbol landed on her boots and followed the hall to the right as she ran up and flight of stairs. On which was silver blood. “It’s injured and it doesn’t look like it can heal as I can,” muttered Symbol as she took a left turn and ran up another flight of stairs.

“Stop following me around!” shouted the Fake Dante from across the room that had no floor.

Symbol saw a pair of train cars sticking out of the walls, but they were see-through. She drew the Swift Blaster and pulled on its thumb, opening its Hand Author. [COME ON A BLAST SHAKE HANDS!] Symbol shook hands with the Swift Blaster’s Hand Author. [SWIFT! BLASTER STRIKE!] A zoomer magic circle appeared in front of the Swift Blaster’s barrel as Symbol pulled the trigger. “Zoomer Barrage!” a storm of red bullets was fired from the Swift Blaster. They slammed into the first train car and turned it solid.

The Kamen Rider struck her Wizard Driver’s right Shift Lever once. [MAGIC TOUCHIE GO!] She swiped her right glove over her Wizard Driver’s Hand Author as she took a step back. [WING MAGIC PLEASE!] Symbol spread the Flight Wings as she took a step forward and jumped. The Flight Wings flapped and shot her over the gap as Symbol turned in the air and landed on the train car.

She switched the Zoomer Ring for the Sniper Ring and pressed her Wizard Driver’s right Shift Lever once. [MAGIC TOUCHIE HENSHIN!] Then she scanned her right glove across her Wizard Driver’s Hand Author and flung it up into the air. [WING SNIPER PLEASE!] The sniper magic circle appeared over her helmet and dropped down through Symbol.

Symbol pulled on the Swift Blaster thumb, opening its Hand Author. [COME ON A BLAST SHAKE HANDS!] She took aim as she shook gloves with the Swift Blaster’s Hand Author. [SWIFT! BLASTER STRIKE!] A sniper magic circle appeared in front of the Swift Blaster as Symbol pulled the trigger. “Sniper Barrage!” out of the Swift Blaster came a bolt of blue magical energy that slammed into the second train car, turning it solid.

Then Symbol pressed her Wizard Driver’s right Shift Lever once. [MAGIC TOUCHIE GO!] She scanned her right glove over her Wizard Driver’s Hand Author as she took a step back. [WING MAGIC PLEASE!] Symbol ran forwards and spread the Flight Wings, giving them a mighty flap. She shot over the gap with the Flight Wings each leaving a trail of silver light. 

Seeing the boost circle near her, Symbol switched the Swift Ring for the Burst Ring. [MAGICAL TOUCH HENSHIN!] She scanned her left glove over her Wizard Driver’s Hand Author. [BURST PLEASE!] Symbol held her left glove out to the side as the burst magic circle appeared behind her and moved through her. [CAST THE SPELL!]

Then she pressed her Wizard Driver’s left Shift Lever four times. [MAGICAL TOUCH GO! VERY NICE!] Symbol scanned her left glove across her Wizard Driver’s Hand Author as purple magical energy started to collect around her. [BURST! S RANK SPELL! THE BEST!] Symbol dashed forwards. “Burst Teleport!” she vanished in a flash of light and appeared in front of the Fake Dante, shoulder tackling him through a wall.

“The real Dante would have seen that coming and block it with ease!” Symbol grabbed the Fake Dante and threw him into the hall.

“Your gonna pay for this!” threatened the Fake Dante as he got back up

“I repeat; If the real Dante as never beaten me in a fight, then what makes you think an imposter can?” demanded Symbol.

The Fake Dante hissed at her and ran off. 

“Point proven,” Symbol ran after the Fake Dante, however, as she reached a platform a Wisp Phantom appeared, only this one had a green glow around it.

“Great,” Symbol pressed her Wizard Driver’s left Shift Lever three times. [MAGICAL TOUCH GO!] She scanned her left glove over her Wizard Driver’s Hand Author and slammed it into the ground. [BURST! A RANK SPELL!] From which appeared a wall of earth, separating the two of them.

Suddenly, sparks exploded from Symbol’s body as the Wisp Phantom appeared in front of her, it punched her across the faceplate and then slammed its knee into her chestplate and threw her away.

Symbol flew through the air as she switched the Burst Ring for the Advance Ring and pressed her Wizard Driver’s left Shift Lever. [TOUCH TO ADVANCE YOUR CLASS!] Symbol scanned her left glove over her Wizard Driver’s Hand Author as the Wisp Phantom vanished in a blur and more sparks exploded from her body. [ADVANCE PLEASE!] The Wisp Phantom was forced back as the advance magic circle moved back through her.

“So this one has super speed?!” shouted Symbol as she was struck across the chestplate over a dozen times in the next five seconds. “I need to match it!” she pressed her Wizard Driver’s left Shift Lever twice. [TOUCH TO CAST THE NEXT LEVEL!] Then she scanned her left glove over her Wizard Driver’s Hand Author as the emitters on her body started to emit yellow particles. [ADVANCE B TIER SPELL!] They gathered around her left elbow as Symbol ran forwards.

The two of them started fighting. Symbol punched forwards, only for the Wisp Phantom to deflect it and slam its fist into her chestplate, sparks exploded. 

Symbol dodged back and threw a roundhouse kick. The Wisp Phantom ducked under it and uppercutted her in the jaw guard.

The Wisp Phantom jumped into the air and came down with a knee slam. Symbol crossed her forearm guards to block it and the ground under her boots crack as the Wisp Phantom jumped away before she was able to take a swing at it.

The Wisp Phantom shot back and covered itself in black and green magical energy. Seeing what was coming, Symbol pressed her Wizard Driver’s left Shift Lever three times. [TOUCH TO CAST THE NEXT LEVEL! VERY NICE!] Then she scanned her left glove over her Wizard Driver’s Hand Author as the emitters started to channel yellow magical energy through her body. [ADVANCE S TIER SPELL! THE BEST!] Then the energy formed into a circle shaped shield in front of Symbol as the Wisp Phantom charged. Symbol crossed her forearm guards as the Wisp Phantom smashed through her shield.

Pain and sparks exploded from Symbol’s forearm guards as the Wisp Phantom slammed its fist into them. She was sent flying back and smashed through a pillar, falling towards the endless drop. “Oh no!” she slammed her glove down on her Wizard Driver’s left Shift Lever twice when pain exploded through her helmet. Feeling herself about to lose it, Symbol moved the Advance Ring to her left index finger and the Blocker Ring to her left ring finger as she pressed her Wizard Driver’s left Shift Lever once. [TOUCH TO ADVANCE YOUR CLASS!] Symbol scanned her left glove over her Wizard Driver’s Hand Author as the Wisp Phantom came shooting down towards her. [ADVANCE BLOCKER PLEASE!] She held her left glove out in front of herself as the blocker magic circle appeared and moved through her.

Seeing the Wisp Phantom coming towards her from under her boots, Symbol pressed her Wizard Driver’s left Shift Lever once. [TOUCH TO CAST THE NEXT LEVEL!] She aimed herself at the Wisp Phantom as she scanned her left glove over her Wizard Driver’s Hand Author. [ADVANCE BLOCKER C TIER SPELL!] Symbol held out her left glove and the square-shaped shield of blue magical energy appeared between her and the Wisp Phantom. The Phantom slammed into the shield and Symbol winced as spiderweb cracks spread through the shield before it exploded. The force of the explosion threw the Phantom and Kamen Rider away from each other and reversed Symbol’s fall.

“I’ve never had to do this before,” Symbol switched the Advance and Blocker Rings for the Swift Ring as she hit her Wizard Driver’s left Shift Lever. [MAGICAL TOUCH HENSHIN!] She scanned her left glove over her Wizard Driver’s Hand Author as the Wisp Phantom recovered, having been dazed by the barrier exploding in its face. [SWIFT PLEASE!] Symbol held her left glove up into the air as the swift magic circle appeared. [DASH AWAY!] It fell through her.

Then Symbol added the Wing and Zoomer Rings to her right glove as she hit her Wizard Driver’s right Shift Lever. [MAGIC TOUCHIE HENSHIN!] Symbol scanned her right glove over her Wizard Driver’s Hand Author as the Wisp Phantom phased at her. [WING ZOOMER PLEASE!] Symbol held her right glove into the air as the two magic circles appeared and fell through her.

Symbol could see the Wisp Phantom a little clearer and shouted in pain as it struck her across the chestplate five times and then uppercutted her into the air. She pressed her Wizard Driver’s right Shift Lever twice. [MAGIC TOUCHIE GO!] Then she scanned her right glove over her Wizard Driver’s Hand Author. [ZOOMER MAGIC PLEASE!] As the Wisp Phantom approached, Symbol lashed out with a barrage of kicks. The Phantom blocked each kick with ease but its head was smashed into a falling piece of rubble that was from the pillar Symbol had smashed through.

“Now!” Symbol pressed her Wizard Driver’s right Shift Lever a single time. [MAGIC TOUCHIE GO!] Then she scanned her right glove across her Wizard Driver’s Hand Author. [WING MAGIC PLEASE!] The Speed Wings ignited and Symbol shot back up towards the platform. Suddenly, she was grabbed from behind by a recovered and angry Wisp Phantom that slammed her into the wall. It dragged her up through it and then threw her onto the platform.

Symbol tumbled and rolled through the ground until she flipped back to her boots. She was in a bad way, sparks were coming from the various scratches and dents in her armour as she panted. “At least we’re back on an even playing field,” Symbol switched the Swift Ring for the Advance Ring and pressed her Wizard Driver’s left Shift Lever. [TOUCH TO ADVANCE YOUR CLASS!] Then she scanned her left glove over her Wizard Driver’s Hand Author before holding it out in front of her. [ADVANCE PLEASE!] The advance magic circle appeared in front of her and moved back through her. Only for Symbol to be thrown through it as the Wisp Phantom zoomed around behind her and kicked her through it.

“That didn’t go the way I planned,” Symbol moved the Advance Ring to her left index finger and added the Breaker Ring to her left ring finger before pressing her Wizard Driver’s left Shift Lever. [TOUCH TO ADVANCE YOUR CLASS!] Then she scanned her left glove over her Wizard Driver’s Hand Author. [ADVANCE BREAKER PLEASE!] Symbol held her left glove out in front of her as the breaker magic circle appeared and moved back through her.

The Wisp Phantom charged at Symbol, who could now see it a bit clearer thanks to the slight increase in her speed because of the Breaker Style. She hit her Wizard Driver’s left Shift Lever once. [TOUCH TO CAST THE NEXT LEVEL!] Then she scanned her left glove over her Wizard Driver’s Hand Author as the Wisp Phantom slammed its fist into her chestplate. [ADVANCE BREAKER C TIER SPELL!] Sparks exploded from Symbol’s chestplate as the emitters started to eject red particles. They gathered around Symbol’s right fist as she pulled it back and punched at the Wisp Phantom.

The Wisp Phantom avoided the first punch, but sparks went off as Symbol buried her left fist into the Wisp Phantom’s face. She stomped forwards and forced her fist forwards, sending the Wisp Phantom shooting back. Symbol pressed her Wizard Driver’s left Shift Lever twice as the Wisp Phantom shot towards her. [TOUCH TO CAST THE NEXT LEVEL!] She raised her right fist. As she was struck five times in the leg, red magical energy was emitted from the emitters. [ADVANCE BREAKER A TIER SPELL!] It gathered around her right fist as she punched the ground, firing out a red shockwave of energy that caused the Wisp Phantom to go flying back with sparks coming from its body.

It was something, but it was still a lot less damage than what Symbol had taken over the course of the fight.

The Wisp Phantom got back up and started to charge magical energy into its body, “Oh no! Not again!” shouted Symbol as she realised what was coming. She switched the Breaker Ring for the Blocker Ring and pressed her Wizard Driver’s left Shift Lever. [TOUCH TO ADVANCE YOUR CLASS!] Then she scanned her left glove over her Wizard Driver’s Hand Author [ADVANCE BLOCKER PLEASE!] Symbol held her left glove out in front of her and the blocker magical circle appeared, moving back through her.

Then Symbol pressed her Wizard Driver’s left Shift lever four times. [TOUCH TO CAST THE NEXT LEVEL! VERY NICE!] She scanned her left glove over her Wizard Driver’s Hand Author as a massive amount of blue and yellow magical energy was emitted from her emitters. [ADVANCE BLOCKER S TIER SPELL! THE BEST!] Symbol held out both of her gloves and the energy transformed into a cube of blue and yellow magical energy around the Wisp Phantom. “Containment cube!”

The Wisp Phantom rocketed forwards, breaking through the Containment Cube as if it was a rock through a glass window. “What?!” shouted Symbol as the Wisp Phantom kicked her in the chestplate. A beam of black and green magical energy blasted out of her backplate. Sparks erupted all over her armour, the punch as if by a delayed reaction, sent Symbol skipping across the ground like a stone that had been thrown over a lake until she smashed into a wall. Her Blocker Style dispelled, unable to remain intact after the insane amount of damage it took. Thankfully, Symbol’s Advance Style was still intact.

Symbol coughed and wheezed as she got back up to her knees, holding her chestplate with one glove. Suddenly, a green light shone from her right glove as a new Ring appeared on her left ring finger. It was identical to the Breaker and Blocker Rings, only the gem was green and the number was zero three.

“This would have been helpful a few seconds ago!” Symbol pressed her Wizard Driver’s left Shift Lever. [TOUCH TO ADVANCE YOUR CLASS!] Symbol scanned her left glove and the new Ring over her Wizard Driver’s Hand Author. [ADVANCE BOUNDER PLEASE!] She held her left glove out in front of her as a new magic circle appeared. It was a grey X inside a green B, inside a yellow eight-pointed star, which was inside a yellow two layered circle with green runic text between the two layers. 

The magic circle moved through Symbol.

The orbs in her shoulder pauldrons and the rectangles in her forearm and shin armour shifted from yellow to green. The lower right circle on Symbol’s robe turned green as the robe opened while the outside of it shifted into a green colour, revealing a silver chestplate with a yellow circle in the middle. The circle changed from yellow to red as it displayed the numbers 03 in black.

She was now Kamen Rider Symbol, Advance Bounder Style.

The Wisp Phantom ran at Symbol, but it was moving at normal speed now. Symbol avoided a punch to the faceplate. “What the?!” she glanced down and saw the dust from their footsteps moving much slower than normal. “So I have super speed now? Great!” Symbol pressed her Wizard Driver’s left Shift Lever as she danced away from another two punches. [TOUCH TO CAST THE NEXT LEVEL!] Then she swiped her left glove over her Wizard Driver’s Hand Author as the emitters on her body shone. [ADVANCE BOUNDER C TIER SPELL!] She pulled back her fist and punched the Phantom in the chest with a hook, a straight and a jab. Sparks exploded from the impact as the Wisp Phantom was sent flying back.

While the Phantom was still in the air, Symbol pressed her Wizard Driver’s left Shift Lever three times. [TOUCH TO CAST THE NEXT LEVEL!] Then she swiped her left glove over her Wizard Driver’s Hand Author as the emitters on her body glowed. [ADVANCE BOUNDER A TIER SPELL!] Symbol sprinted forwards and slammed her shoulder into the Wisp Phantom, more sparks exploded from it as it was sent flying backwards again.

“Final!” Symbol hit her Wizard Driver’s left Shift Lever four times. [TOUCH TO CAST THE NEXT LEVEL! VERY NICE!] The emitters on her body ejected a storm of glowing green magical energy after she scanned her left glove over her Wizard Driver’s Hand Author. [ADVANCE BOUNDER S TIER SPELL! THE BEST!] Symbol placed one boot back and laid her gloves down on the ground in a start pose. “Bounder End!” she explosion dashed forwards, leaving lines of green energy behind her and she jumped into the air with her right boot forward. The energy collected around it as she slammed into the Wisp Phantom. For a moment, they were frozen in the air before the Phantom was sent flying backwards. It smashed through a rock with micro-explosions going off around it until the Phantom smashed into a wall and exploded.

“Phew,” Symbol whipped some sweat off her forehead and switched the two Rings on her left glove for the Active Ring. [MAGICAL TOUCH HENSHIN!] She pressed her Wizard Driver’s left Shift Lever then scanned her left glove over her Wizard Driver’s Hand Author. [ACTIVE PLEASE!] Symbol held her left glove out to the side as the active magic circle appeared to her left and moved through her. [LET’S GO!]

She jumped over a pair of short gaps and ran into a building. Symbol followed the hall around to the right and came to a gap that was too big to jump across. She switched the Active Ring for the Swift Ring and pressed her Wizard Driver’s left Shift Lever. [MAGICAL TOUCH HENSHIN!] Then she scanned her left glove over her Wizard Driver’s Hand Author. [SWIFT PLEASE!] Symbol threw her left glove up into the air as the swift magic circle appeared and dropped down through her. [DASH AWAY!]

She added the Wing and Sniper Rings to her right glove before pressing her Wizard Driver’s right Shift Lever. [MAGIC TOUCHIE HENSHIN!] Then she scanned her right glove over her Wizard Driver’s Hand Author. [WING SNIPER PLEASE!] She held her right glove into the air as the two magic circles appeared over her helmet and fell down through her.

She took a step back as she hit her Wizard Driver’s right Shift Lever. [MAGIC TOUCHIE GO!] Then she scanned her right glove over her Wizard Driver’s Hand Author. [WING MAGIC PLEASE!] Symbol dashed forwards as she flapped the Flight Wings and shot over the gap with the tips of the Flight Wings each leaving a trail of silver energy behind her.

Symbol came to an opening in the wall and hit her Wizard Driver’s left Shift Lever once after switching the Swift Ring for the Advance Ring. [MAGICAL TOUCH HENSHIN!] Symbol scanned her left glove over her Wizard Driver’s Hand Author. [ACTIVE PLEASE!] She held her left arm out to the side as the active magic circle appeared to her left and moved through her. [LET’S GO!]

Then Symbol added the Boost and Aqua Rings to her right glove before hitting her Wizard Driver’s right Shift Lever. [MAGIC TOUCHIE HENSHIN!] Symbol scanned her right glove across her Wizard Driver’s Hand Author. [BOOST AQUA PLEASE!] She held her right glove out to the side as the two magic circles appeared and moved through her.

Symbol took a step back as she pressed her Wizard Driver’s right Shift Lever once. [MAGIC TOUCHIE GO!] She scanned her right glove over her Wizard Driver’s Hand Author as the Aqua Jets started to leak water. [BOOST MAGIC PLEASE!] She dashed forwards and both of the Aqua Jets fired four streams of water that shot her into the air, she landed on the piece of rubble that was floating over the endless drop.

Then Symbol jumped to a shop’s sign before leaping across to another sign. “Why couldn’t there be any more lock-on points?!” shouted Symbol as she swapped the Active Ring for the Swift Ring, then she hit her Wizard Driver’s left Shift Lever once out of anger. [MAGICAL TOUCH HENSHIN!] She scanned her left glove and the Swift Ring across her Wizard Driver’s Hand Author. [SWIFT PLEASE!] Symbol held her left glove into the air as the swift magic circle appeared and dropped down through her. [DASH AWAY!]

[WING ZOOMER PLEASE!] She held her right glove into the air as the two magic circles unfolded and fell through her.

Symbol hit her Wizard Driver’s right Shift Lever twice. [MAGIC TOUCHIE GO!] Then she scanned her right glove over her Wizard Driver’s Hand Author. [ZOOMER MAGIC PLEASE!] Symbol leapt off the sign as the Zoomer Wings ignited and flew her over to a pile of scaffolding.

Symbol growled as she saw another lock-on point on a roof that was above her. She changed the Swift Ring for the Active Ring and punched her Wizard Driver’s left Shift Lever. [MAGICAL TOUCH HENSHIN!] Then she scanned her left glove over her Wizard Driver’s Hand Author. [ACTIVE PLEASE!] Symbol held her left glove out to the side as the active magic circle appeared to her left and moved through her. [LET’S GO!]

[MAGIC TOUCHIE HENSHIN!] Then she swiped her right glove over her Wizard Driver’s Hand Author. [BOOST BIND PLEASE!] Symbol held her right glove out to the side as the two magic circles appeared and moved through her.

Then she pressed her Wizard Driver’s right Shift Lever once. [MAGIC TOUCHIE GO!] Symbol scanned her right glove over her Wizard Driver’s Hand Author as purple magical energy ran into the Boost Locks. [BOOST MAGIC PLEASE!] Symbol took a step back and dashed forwards, jumping up and onto the roof.

“Coward,” muttered Symbol as the Fake Dante walked through an archway shaped portal

Symbol ran up to the portal just in time for it to turn red as it locked.

She looked around as the Lesser Blade Phantoms burst from the ground.

“Time to get to work,” muttered Symbol to herself.

She switched the Bind Ring for the Defend Ring and pressed her Wizard Driver’s right Shift Lever. [MAGIC TOUCHIE HENSHIN!] Then she scanned her right glove over her Wizard Driver’s Hand Author. [BOOST DEFEND PLEASE!] Symbol held her right glove out to the side as the defend magic circle appeared and moved through her.

One of the Lesser Blade Phantoms lunged at her but missed as Symbol jumped into the air. She pressed down on the Active Blade’s thumb, opening its Hand Author. [COME ON A SLASH SHAKE HANDS!] Then she shook hands with the Active Blade’s Hand Author. [ACTIVE! SLASH STRIKE!] Red magical energy covered the blade as Symbol dropped down, stabbing the Phantom through the head, making it explode.

Symbol pressed her Wizard Driver’s right Shift Lever once as the second Lesser Blade Phantom lunged at her. [MAGIC TOUCHIE GO!] She scanned her right glove over her Wizard Driver’s Hand Author as purple magical energy ran into the Boost Grieves. [BOOST MAGIC PLEASE!] Symbol kicked the Phantom, sending it flying over the edge and into the endless drop where it exploded.

Then she looked around and a Death Knight Phantom burst from the ground.

“Let's get to work!” Symbol switched the Active Ring for the Giga Ring and hit her Wizard Driver’s left Shift Lever. [MAGICAL TOUCH HENSHIN!] She scanned her left glove over her Wizard Driver’s Hand Author. [GIGA PLEASE!] Symbol held her left glove down to the ground as the Giga magic circle appeared under her boots and rose up through her. [BREAK THROUGH!]

Symbol blocked a slash from the Death Knight Phantom with her right forearm guard as she pressed her Wizard Driver’s left Shift Lever. [MAGICAL TOUCH SPELL!] Symbol slammed both of her palms forwards, stopping a shield bash and scanning her left glove over her Wizard Driver’s Hand Author. [GIGA B RANK SPELL!] Green magical energy covered her left glove as Symbol pulled it back and slammed it into the ground. A line of green magical energy was fired through the ground, it hit the Death Knight Phantom and threw it into the air while cracking its shield.

While the Death Knight Phantom was still in the air, Symbol added the Bombardment and Drill Rings to her right glove before pressing her Wizard Driver’s right Shift Lever. [MAGIC TOUCHIE HENSHIN!] She aligned her right glove with her Wizard Driver’s Hand Author. [BOMBARDMENT DRILL PLEASE!] Then Symbol crouched, placing her right glove on the ground as the two magic circles appeared and zipped up through her.

Then Symbol took aim with the Spiral Cannon as the Death Knight Phantom landed back on the ground. She pressed her Wizard Driver’s right Shift Lever twice. [MAGIC TOUCHIC GO!] Then she scanned her right glove over her Wizard Driver’s Hand Author as purple magical energy built up around the barrel of the Spiral Cannon. [DRILL MAGIC PLEASE!] Symbol fired a thin beam of spiralling purple energy that slammed into the Death Knight Phantom, tearing through its shield and making sparks explode from its body.

“Here we go,” Symbol pressed her Wizard Driver’s left Shift Lever four times. [MAGICAL TOUCH GO!

THE BEST!] Symbol fired the Spiral Cannon, out of which blasted a beam of spiralling green energy. “Drill Wrap!” it was swallowed by a rift in space. A second rifle appeared behind the Death Knight Phantom as it charged. The beam blasted out of the rifle and into the Death Knight Phantom’s back, causing it to explode.

Symbol glanced over her shoulder pauldron, just in time to take a chainsaw from a Ravager Phantom to the backplate. “Argh!” sparks were sawed from the wound as she was sent flying forwards. Symbol landed and tumbled along the ground before she stopped and got back up. She switched the Giga Ring for the Swift Ring and pressed her Wizard Driver’s left Shift Lever. [MAGICAL TOUCH HENSHIN!] Then she scanned her left glove over her Wizard Driver’s Hand Author.

[BURST PLEASE!] Symbol held her left glove out to the side as the burst magic circle appeared behind her and moved through her. [CAST THE SPELL!] 

“I hope this works!” Symbol hit her Wizard Driver’s left Shift Lever twice. [MAGICAL TOUCH GO!] Then she scanned her left glove across her Wizard Driver’s Hand Author. [BURST! B RANK SPELL!] The water in the air froze over and transformed into a pair of shurikens. Symbol pointed her hand forwards and the ice shurikens shot at the Phantoms. They blocked with their shields and for a second nothing happened, then ice started to creep over their shield and onto their bodies, freezing the both of them solid.

“Ok, the first part worked, let's hope the second part does,” she pressed her Wizard Driver’s right Shift Lever as she added a pair of rings to her right glove. [MAGIC TOUCHIE HENSHIN!] Then she scanned her right glove over her Wizard Driver’s Hand Author. [SAND RADIATION PLEASE!] Then she held her right glove out to the side as the two magic circles appeared behind her and moved through her.

Then Symbol pressed her Wizard Driver’s right Shift Lever twice. [MAGIC TOUCHIE GO!] She scanned her right glove over her Wizard Driver’s Hand Author as green magical energy collected around her right glove. [RADIATION MAGIC PLEASE!] Symbol fired a cloud of green magical energy from her right glove. It covered the two Death Knight Phantoms as sparks exploded from their bodies.

“Yes!” shouted Symbol.

Then the ice around the Death Knight Phantoms melted as micro-explosions went off around them.

“No!” Symbol drew the Burst Staff and pulled on its thumb, opening its Hand Author. [COME ON A SPELL SHAKE HANDS] Symbol shook gloves with the Burst Staff’s Hand Author as purple magical energy build up on the tip. [BURST! SPELL STRIKE!] The energy transformed into five spears. “Radiation Spears!” they vanished and appeared around the first Death Knight Phantom with their tips pointing inwards. Then they all shot inwards and speared through the Death Knight Phantom, making it explode.

Then she transformed the Burst Staff back into the Burst Wand before pressing its thumb, opening its Hand Author again. [COME ON A CAST SHAKE HANDS!] The second Death Knight Phantom screamed in rage and ran at Symbol as she scanned her left glove over her Burst Wand’s Hand Author. [BURST! CAST STRIKE!] An orb of purple energy appeared at the tip of the Burst Wand. “Sand Beam!” shouted Symbol as the orb transformed into a beam that roared towards the Phantom, splitting into several beams that pierced the Death Knight Phantom in several places that made it explode.

Suddenly, a pair of Ravager Phantoms jumped out of the ground and set themselves on fire before charging at Symbol. “Woah!” she hit her Wizard Driver’s left Shift Lever four times as she dispelled the Sand Radiation Style. [MAGICAL TOUCH GO! VERY NICE!] Then Symbol scanned her left glove over her Wizard Driver’s Hand Author. [BURST! S RANK SPELL! THE BEST!] Purple light covered her body. “Burst Teleport!” just before the two Ravager Phantoms were able to hit her she vanished in a flash of purple light and appeared behind them.

Then she switched the Burst Ring for the Active Ring and hit her Wizard Driver’s left Shift Lever. [MAGICAL TOUCH HENSHIN!] Symbol scanned her left glove across her Wizard Driver’s Hand Author. [ACTIVE PLEASE!] She held her left glove out to the side. [LET’S GO!] The active magic circle appeared to her left and moved through her.

The two Ravager Phantom’s revved up their chainsaw and charged at Symbol.

Only for her to side-step and the Ravager Phantoms to go charging off the edge of the roof, which Symbol had been standing on the tip of, they fell into the endless drop and exploded.

If she were in her human form of Sunset Shimmer Sparda, Symbol would have rolled her eyes. “How stupid are these Phantoms,” she walked through the portal as it unlocked itself and appeared on a replica of the statute where she had gotten the Advance Style.

The Fake Dante was standing on a platform that was near the waist.

“Seems like you’ve run out of places to go,” Symbol snarled as she looked ready to end this insult to her brother.

The Fake Dante turned and gave her the middle finger. 

“That wasn’t very nice,” grumbled Symbol.

Then the Fake Dante ran off, disappearing around the side of the statue.

Symbol switched the Active Ring for the Swift Ring and pressed her Wizard Driver’s left Shift Lever. [MAGICAL TOUCH HENSHIN!] Then she scanned her left glove and the Swift Ring over her Wizard Driver’s Hand Author. [SWIFT PLEASE!] She held her left glove out to the side as the swift magic circle appeared and moved through her. [DASH AWAY!]

Then she added the Wing and Sniper Rings to her right glove before hitting her Wizard Driver’s right Shift Lever. [MAGIC TOUCHIE HENSHIN!] She scanned her right glove across her Wizard Driver’s Hand Author and held it out to the side. [WING SNIPER PLEASE!] The two magic circles appeared and moved through Symbol.

Symbol grabbed the Sniper Shooter as it appeared from thin air and hit her Wizard Driver’s right Shift Lever twice. [MAGIC TOUCHIE GO!] Then she scanned her right glove over her Wizard Driver’s Hand Author. [SNIPER MAGIC PLEASE!] Symbol fired a bolt of blue energy from the Sniper Shooter that hit a transparent platform and turned it solid.

Then Symbol pressed her Wizard Driver’s right Shift Lever once more. [MAGIC TOUCHIE GO!] She scanned her right glove over her Wizard Driver’s Hand Author as she spread the Flight Wings. [WING MAGIC PLEASE!] Symbol jumped and gave the Flight Wings and single flap, shooting herself over the gap and onto the platform.

In front of her was another platform that was transparent. She drew the Swift Blaster and pulled on its thumb, opening its Hand Author. [COME ON A BLAST SHAKE HANDS!] Then she scanned her left glove over the Swift Blaster’s Hand Author. [SWIFT! BLASTER STRIKE!] She fired a pair of yellow orbs from the Swift Blaster that spiralled around each other until they slammed into the platform, turning it solid once more.

After which Symbol pressed her Wizard Driver’s right Shift Lever once more. [MAGIC TOUCHIE GO!] She scanned her right glove over her Wizard Driver’s Hand Author as she took a step back and spread the Flight Wings. [WING MAGIC PLEASE!] Symbol jumped and gave the Flight Wings and single flap, shooting herself over the gap and onto the next platform.

Seeing that the next platform was too high up to fly, Symbol switched the Swift Ring for the Active Ring and pressed her Wizard Driver’s right Shift Lever. [MAGICAL TOUCH HENSHIN!] She scanned her right glove over her Wizard Driver’s Hand Author. [ACTIVE PLEASE!] Then Symbol held her right glove out to the side as the active magic circle appeared and moved through her. [LET’S GO!]

Then she added the Boost and Aqua Rings to her right glove before hitting her Wizard Driver’s right Shift Lever. [MAGIC TOUCHIE HENSHIN!] Then she scanned her right glove over her Wizard Driver’s Hand Author. [BOOST AQUA PLEASE!] The two magic circles appeared as Symbol held her right glove out to the side, they moved over her, transforming her.

She hit her Wizard Driver’s right Shift Lever once. [MAGIC TOUCHIE GO!] Then she scanned her right glove over her Wizard Driver’s Hand Author as the Aqua Jets started to leak water. [BOOST MAGIC PLEASE!] Symbol took a step back and the Aqua Jets fired eight streams of water that shot her over the gap. She landed solidly on the platform.

Seeing another see-through platform in front of her, Symbol switched the Active Ring for the Burst Ring and hit her Wizard Driver’s left Shift Lever. [MAGICAL TOUCH HENSHIN!] She scanned her left glove over her Wizard Driver’s Hand Author. [BURST PLEASE!] Then Symbol held her left glove out to the side as the burst magic circle appeared behind her and moved through her. [CAST THE SPELL!]

“Enough of this!” Symbol hit her Wizard Driver’s left Shift Lever four times. [MAGICAL TOUCH GO! VERY NICE!] Then she scanned her left glove over her Wizard Driver’s Hand Author as purple light started to gather around her. [BURST! S RANK SPELL! THE BEST!] The purple light hid Symbol from view. “Burst Teleport!” then she vanished.

The Fake Dante looked around as Symbol appeared behind him. “Come on then,” he pulled the copy of the Rebellion Blade off his backplate. “Let’s do this!” 

Symbol switched the Burst Ring for the Advance Ring and pressed her Wizard Driver’s left Shift Lever. [TOUCH TO ADVANCE YOUR CLASS!] Then she scanned her left glove over her Wizard Driver’s Hand Author and held it out in front of her. [ADVANCE PLEASE!] The burst magic circle appeared in front of Symbol and moved through her.

Then Symbol moved the Advance Ring to her left index finger and added the Bounder Ring to her left ring finger before pressing her Wizard Driver’s left Shift Lever. [TOUCH TO ADVANCE YOUR CLASS!] She scanned her left glove over her Wizard Driver’s Hand Author. [ADVANCE BOUNDER PLEASE!] Symbol held her left glove out in front of her as the bounder magic circle appeared and moved back through her.

Now in her Advance Bounder Style, Symbol hit her Wizard Driver’s left Shift Lever four times. [TOUCH TO CAST THE NEXT LEVEL! VERY NICE!] The emitters on her body started to shine with green magical energy as Symbol scanned her left glove over her Wizard Driver’s Hand Author. [ADVANCE BOUNDER S TIER SPELL! THE BEST!] Symbol took a step back and dashed forwards in a blur. “Bounder Impact!” her boot slammed into the Fake Dante’s chestplate, a beam of green energy erupted out of his backplate as sparks and mico-explosions went off all around his armour.

After several seconds the Fake Dante’s armour faded away, leaving him in his human form.

Then Symbol slammed her left glove into his chest, breaking his rib cage into dust. Since the Fake Dante was not the real Dante, he couldn’t heal from it as the real Dante could have done.

As the Fake Dante turned to dust, Symbol turned around and walked away. ‘If that had been the real Dante then I would have broken down crying, but since it’s nothing more than a Phantom construct, I have nothing to feel sorry about,’ Symbol thought to herself.
> Interlude 4
> --------------------------------------------------------------------------

“So that’s my next destination,” muttered Symbol as she stared at a charge several platforms and island away. “Is it really my mother in there? Or just another Phantom construct?”

Then Symbol heard a loud scream come from the church. “I’d better figure that out later!” all of a sudden a Peryton Phantom appeared next to her and blasted her back with a lightning bolt to the chest plate.

“Already?!” grunted Symbol as she held her smoking chess plate. Symbol hit her Wizard Driver’s right Shift Lever three times. [MAGICAL TOUCH GO!] Then she scanned her left glove over her Wizard Driver’s Hand Author as lightning crackled around her. [ACTIVE! A RANK SPELL!] Red lightning crackled around Symbol’s body as she crossed her arms and fired a lightning bolt forwards. The Peryton Phantom fired its own lightning bolt but was overpowered by the Kamen Rider. Symbol’s lightning bolt slammed into it and sparks exploded from the impact point.

“This might be a bad idea, but let’s see if this works,” Symbol added the Boost and Aqua Rings to her right glove before hitting her Wizard Driver’s right Shift Lever. [MAGIC TOUCHIE HENSHIN!] Then she scanned her right glove over her Wizard Driver’s Hand Author. [BOOST AQUA PLEASE!] Symbol thrust her right glove out to the side and the two magic circles appeared before moving through her.

The Peryton Phantom fired another lightning bolt at Symbol, but she threw herself onto her backplate, avoiding it. Then she hit her Wizard Driver’s right Shift Lever twice. [MAGIC TOUCHIE GO!] The Aqua Jets started to leak water as Symbol scanned her right glove over her Wizard Driver’s Hand Author. [AQUA MAGIC PLEASE!] She spun on her backplate, firing water from the Aqua Jets that whipped through the air. But by the time it reached the Peryton Phantom, the water only had enough power to wet it.

The Peryton Phantom snarled as it tried to fire another lightning bolt at Symbol, but only ended up wetting itself! “Yes!” shouted Symbol as she hit her Wizard Driver’s right Shift Lever once. [MAGIC TOUCHIE GO!] Then she scanned her right glove across her Wizard Driver’s Hand Author as she bent down and jumped into the air. [BOOST MAGIC PLEASE!] Halfway towards the Peryton Phantom, a boost magic circle appeared under Symbol’s boots and she jumped off it, kicking the Peryton Phantom with the Aqua Jets and causing it to explode.

All of a sudden, three more Peryton Phantom appeared in the air and shot lightning bolts at Symbol. “Whoa!” she jumped back as the lightning bolts slammed into the ground where she had just been standing. In a flash of light, the ground was blackened and it started to smoke. Symbol hit her Wizard Driver’s left Shift Lever four times as she glared at the Phantoms. [MAGICAL TOUCH GO! VERY NICE!] The Aqua Jets started to leak red water that collected in a pool around Symbol’s boots as she scanned her left glove over her Wizard Driver’s Hand Author. [ACTIVE! S RANK SPELL! THE BEST!] The water collected in an orb in front of Symbol as she pulled the right Aqua Jet back. “Hydro Storm!” Symbol slammed her boot into the orb and it transformed into a spinning horizontal stream of water that shot through the air and slammed into the three Phantoms. Sparks explode from their bodies thanks to the water pressure before all three of them exploded.

A pair of Valkyrie Phantoms appeared in the air and each of them hurled a bomb at Symbol. She switched the Active Ring for the Burst Ring and hit her Wizard Driver’s left Shift Lever. [MAGICAL TOUCH HENSHIN!] She held her left glove over her Wizard Driver’s Hand Author. [BURST PLEASE!] Symbol held her left glove out to the side as the burst magic circle appeared behind her and moved through her. [CAST THE SPELL!]

As the bomb’s neared, Symbol slammed her glove down on her Wizard Driver’s left Shift Lever twice. [MAGICAL TOUCH GO!] Then she scanned her left glove across her Wizard Driver’s Hand Author. [BURST! B RANK SPELL!] Water in the air froze over and was pulled together. It transformed into four shurikens made of ice that shot through the air and cut both of the bombs to pieces. The bombs exploded in the air, destroying all four of the shurikens.

Symbol hit her Wizard Driver’s left Shift Lever once. [MAGICAL TOUCH GO!] Then she scanned her left glove over her Wizard Driver’s Hand Author as four sparks appeared in the air around her. [BURST! C RANK SPELL!] The sparks transformed into four balls of fire that shot at the Valkyrie Phantoms. They slammed into them and caused both of the Phantoms to explode.

Then Symbol added the Dust and Glass Rings to her right glove and hit her Wizard Driver’s right Shift Lever. [MAGIC TOUCHIE HENSHIN!] She scanned her right glove over her Wizard Driver’s Hand Author as a pair of Shielded Valkyrie Phantoms appeared in the air. [DUST GLASS PLEASE!] Then held her right glove out to the side as the two magic circles appeared behind her and moved through the Kamen Rider. Just in time for her to be sent flying as two bombs slammed into the ground and exploded in front of her.

Symbol growled as she landed on her boots and hit her Wizard Driver’s right Shift Lever twice. [MAGIC TOUCHIE GO!] Shards of glass started to appear around the Shielded Valkyrie Phantoms after Symbol scanned her right glove across her Wizard Driver’s Hand Author. [GLASS  MAGIC PLEASE!] The glass surged inwards, sparks exploded from the Phantoms before their shields exploded, cancelling out the storm of glass.

“Now’s my chance!” Symbol hit her Wizard Driver’s right Shift Lever once. [MAGIC TOUCHIE GO!] Then she scanned her right glove over her Wizard Driver’s Hand Author. [DUST MAGIC PLEASE!] She held up her right glove as dust appeared in the air before each of the dust particles let loose with a blinding flash of light. The Valkyrie Phantoms screamed as their eyes burned from the light.

“Now!” Symbol hit her Wizard Driver’s left Shift Lever four times. [MAGICAL TOUCH GO! VERY NICE!] Then she scanned her left glove over her Wizard Driver’s Hand Author as four burst magic circles appeared behind her. [BURST! S RANK SPELL! THE BEST!] Out of them race four spears of dust that had sharp glass mixed into them. “Glass Flash!” the spears slammed into the Phantoms and caused cracks to spread through both of them before they exploded.

Symbol switched the Dust Ring for the Sand Ring as two more Valkyrie Phantoms appeared in the air. [MAGIC TOUCHIE HENSHIN!] She scanned her right glove over her Wizard Driver’s Hand Author and held it out to the side. [SAND GLASS PLEASE!] The sand magic circle appeared behind her and moved through her.

The Valkyrie Phantoms threw their bombs at Symbol as she hit her Wizard Driver’s right Shift Lever twice. [MAGIC TOUCHIE GO!] Then she scanned her right glove over her Wizard Driver’s Hand Author. [GLASS MAGIC PLEASE!] A ring of sand with sharp glass mixed into it appeared around Symbol, blocking the explosions from the bombs and dispersing.

At that moment another pair of Valkyrie Phantoms appeared and they, along with the other two Valkyrie Phantoms. “I’m gonna need something a bit stronger to handle that,” Symbol hit her Wizard Driver’s right Shift Lever once. [MAGIC TOUCHIE GO!] Then she scanned her right glove over her Wizard Driver’s Hand Author as the sand started to gather in front of her. [SAND MAGIC PLEASE!] The sand formed into a thick wall in front of Symbol that was able to block all four of the explosions before breaking apart.

“My turn,” Symbol hit her Wizard Driver’s left Shift Lever four times. [MAGICAL TOUCH GO! VERY NICE!] She scanned her left glove over her Wizard Driver’s Hand Author as the sand started to gather. [BURST! S RANK SPELL! THE BEST!] Symbol threw her left glove forwards. “Sand wall!” the sand shot forwards as a giant tidal wave that slammed into the Valkyrie Phantoms and crushed them.

Then Symbol looked up, just in time for ten crossbow bolts to slam into her chestplate. She staggered back with sparks coming from her chestplate as she glared at the ten Icarus Phantoms that had appeared in the air. She switched the Glass Ring for the Mirror Ring and hit her Wizard Driver’s right Shift Lever. [MAGIC TOUCHIE HENSHIN!] Then she scanned her right glove over her Wizard Driver’s Hand Author. [SAND MIRROR PLEASE!] The mirror magic circle appeared behind Symbol as she held her right glove out to the side. It moved through her, transforming Symbol into the Burst Sand Mirror Style.

The ten Icarus Phantoms reloaded their crossbows and fired as Symbol hit her Wizard Driver’s right Shift Lever once. [MAGIC TOUCHIE GO!] She scanned her right glove over her Wizard Driver’s Hand Author as the crossbow bolts approached. [MIRROR MAGIC PLEASE!] Symbol held up her right glove and several small mirrors appeared in front of her. The crossbow bolts soared into the mirrors and came screaming out. They slammed into the Icarus Phantoms and sparks exploded from the Phantom’s bodies.

Symbol drew the Burst Staff as the Icarus Phantoms fired once more, she pulled on its thumb, opening its Hand Author. [COME ON A SPELL SHAKE HANDS] Then she shook gloves with the Burst Staff’s Hand Author. [BURST! SPELL STRIKE!] An orb of purple magical energy built up in front of the Burst Staff. “Mirror Wall!” then it thinned out into a wall in front of Symbol that blocked the crossbow bolts and fired ten beams of purple energy back at the Icarus Phantoms, destroying five of them,

Seeing that some of the Icarus Phantoms had survived, Symbol turned the Burst Staff into the Burst Wand and pulled on its thumb, opening its Hand Author. [COME ON A CAST SHAKE HANDS!] Then she shook gloves with the Burst Wand’s Hand Author as purple magical energy built up in front of the Burst Wand. [BURST! CAST STRIKE!] Symbol pointed it at the Icarus Phantoms and fired a single beam of purple magical energy that split into several beams, tearing through the Phantoms and causing them all to explode.

At that moment, a pair of Lesser Blade Phantoms burst from the ground. “You lot again?” Symbol switched the Mirror Ring for the Radiation Ring and hit her Wizard Driver’s right Shift Lever. [MAGIC TOUCHIE HENSHIN!] Then she scanned her right glove over her Wizard Driver’s Hand Author. [SAND RADIATION PLEASE!] Symbol held her right glove out in front of her as the radiation magic circle appeared behind her and moved through the Kamen Rider.

Symbol hit her Wizard Driver’s right Shift Lever twice as the Lesser Blade Phantoms charged. [MAGIC TOUCHIE GO!] Then she scanned her right glove over her Wizard Driver’s Hand Author as they neared. [RADIATION MAGIC PLEASE!] Symbol threw her right glove up into the air and fired a pair of green energy streams that wrapped around each of like a helix. They slammed into the Lesser Blade Phantoms, drawing sparks from them until they exploded after several seconds.

Three more Lesser Blade Phantoms jumped out of the ground as Symbol switched the Sand Ring for the Dust Ring and the Radiation Ring for the Mirror Ring, then she hit her Wizard Driver’s right Shift Lever. [MAGIC TOUCHIE HENSHIN!] Symbol scanned her right glove over her Wizard Driver’s Hand Author and held it out to the side. [DUST MIRROR PLEASE!] The two magic circles appeared behind her and moved through her.

The three Lesser Blade Phantoms ran at Symbol as she hit her Wizard Driver’s right Shift Lever twice. [MAGIC TOUCHIE GO!] Symbol scanned her right glove over her Wizard Driver’s Hand Author as the three Lesser Blade Phantoms neared. [MIRROR MAGIC PLEASE!] Symbol held her right glove out and a mirror appeared in front of the Lesser Blade Phantoms as their own reflections ran out and smashed into them. Sparks exploded before the Lesser Blade Phantoms exploded.

Then Symbol switched the Dust Ring for the Steam Ring and hit her Wizard Driver’s right Shift Lever once. [MAGIC TOUCHIE HENSHIN!] She scanned her right glove over her Wizard Driver’s Hand Author as a pair of Blade Phantoms appeared from the ground. [STEAM RADIATION PLEASE!] The two magic circles appeared behind Symbol and moved through her.

Then she hit her Wizard Driver’s right Shift Lever twice as the Phantoms charged. [MAGIC TOUCHIE GO!] Symbol scanned her right glove over her Wizard Driver’s Hand Author as it started to glow with green magical energy. [RADIATION MAGIC PLEASE!] She thrust her right glove forwards and fired a beam of green magical energy. It engulfed both of the Phantoms and turned them to ash.

Then a Ravager Phantom appeared. “Finally, something challenging,” Symbol hit her Wizard Driver’s right Shift Lever once. [MAGIC TOUCHIE GO!] Then she scanned her right glove as the Ravager Phantom set itself on fire. [STEAM MAGIC PLEASE!] It charged at Symbol as she charged back. Just before the Ravager Phantom was able to stab her, Symbol transformed into scalding hot steam that surrounded the Ravager Phantom making sparks come off it from the heat.

Suddenly, the Ravager Phantom let loose a blast of fire from its body, throwing the steam away and forcing Symbol back into her solid form with sparks coming from her body. “Owie!” she switched the Steam Ring for the Glass Ring and hit her Wizard Driver’s right Shift Lever. [MAGIC TOUCHIE HENSHIN!] She held her right glove out to the side after scanning it over her Wizard Driver’s Hand Author. [STEAM GLASS PLEASE!] The two magic circles appeared and moved through her body from behind.

The Ravager Phantom revved up its chainsaw and charged as Symbol struck her Wizard Driver’s right Shift Lever twice. [MAGIC TOUCHIE GO!] She scanned her right glove over her Wizard Driver’s Hand Author as the Ravager Phantom swung. [GLASS MAGIC PLEASE!] Out of the ground burst a spear of steaming hot glass. It slammed into the Ravager Phantom’s gut, making sparks explode from the impact point. The Ravager Phantom missed Symbol by less than an inch as it staggered back from the impact. “That was close,” muttered Symbol.

Then she drew the Burst Wand and pulled on its thumb, opening its Hand Author. [COME ON A CAST SHAKE HANDS!] She shook her left glove with the Burst Wand’s Hand Author. [BURST! CAST STRIKE!] Purple energy gathered in an orb in front of the Burst Wand. “Steam Beam!” Symbol stabbed the Burst Wand forwards and fired a beam of purple magical energy that transformed into a cloud. Sparks exploded from the Ravager Phantom as it was forced to stop its charge and discharge the fire to blow away the cloud.

While the Ravager Phantom was down, Symbol transformed the Burst Wand into the Burst Staff and pulled on its thumb, opening its Hand Author. [COME ON A SPELL SHAKE HANDS] She shook gloves with the Burst Staff’s Hand Author as an orb of purple magical energy gathered on the tip of the Burst Staff. [BURST! SPELL STRIKE!] The orb sank into the ground before four purple spears burst from the ground. “Glass Spears!” they impaled the Ravager Phantom.

Then Symbol switched the Glass Ring for Mirror Ring and struck her Wizard Driver’s right Shift Lever. [MAGIC TOUCHIE HENSHIN!] She held her right glove over her Wizard Driver’s Hand Author. [STEAM MIRROR PLEASE!] Then she held her right glove out to the side as the mirror magic circle appeared behind her and moved through her.

The Ravager Phantom’s chainsaw roared to life as it charged at Symbol. She hit her Wizard Driver’s left Shift Lever four times. [MAGICAL TOUCH GO! VERY NICE!] “The final!” she scanned her left glove over her Wizard Driver’s Hand Author. [BURST! S RANK SPELL! THE BEST!] A wall of mirrors appeared in front of the Ravager Phantom and its own reflection, covered in silver magical energy, appeared from the mirror wall and charged at the Phantom. The two of them collided and the weakened Ravager Phantom was overpowered by the attack. The reflection slammed its chainsaw into the Ravager Phantom, cutting a storm of sparks from it before the Phantom went up in a massive explosion of power.

The Kamen Rider then ran up and flight of stairs and came to a gap that was too big to jump. “Let’s try this,” Symbol dispelled the Steam Mirror Style, leaving her in the Burst Style as she pressed her Wizard Driver’s left Shift Lever four times. [MAGICAL TOUCH GO! VERY NICE!] She aligned her left glove and the Burst Ring with her Wizard Driver’s Hand Author as purple magical energy started to cover her. [BURST! S RANK SPELL! THE BEST!] Symbol vanished in a blast of purple magical energy appearing across the gap and on the platform.

“I just hope that really is you mother and not some sort of Phantom construct,” Symbol switched Burst Ring for the Swift Ring and hit her Wizard Driver’s left Shift Lever. [MAGICAL TOUCH HENSHIN!] Then she scanned her left glove over her Wizard Driver’s Hand Author. [SWIFT PLEASE!] Symbol held her left glove up into the air as the swift magic circle appeared and fell through her. [DASH AWAY!]

“Let’s give this a go,” Symbol pressed her Wizard Driver’s left Shift Lever twice. [MAGICAL TOUCH GO!] Then she scanned her left glove over her Wizard Driver’s Hand Author as she took a step back. [SWIFT! B RANK SPELL!] Symbol dashed forwards and became a blur of yellow speed as she jumped across the gap, landing solidly on her boots.

“I can’t believe that I never thought of that before!” Symbol switched the Swift Ring for the Active Ring and struck her Wizard Driver’s left Shift Lever. [MAGICAL TOUCH HENSHIN!] Then she scanned her left glove and the Active Ring over her Wizard Driver’s Hand Author. [ACTIVE PLEASE!] Symbol held her left glove out to the side as the active magic circle appeared and moved through her. [LET’S GO!]

“Let’s see if this works,” muttered Symbol as she struck her Wizard Driver’s left Shift Lever once. [MAGICAL TOUCH GO!] Then she scanned her left glove over her Wizard Driver’s Hand Author as lightning crackled around her left glove. [ACTIVE! C RANK SPELL!] Symbol threw her left glove forwards, it latched onto the lock-on point and pulled Symbol up to it.

“YES!” shouted Symbol as she fired another lightning bolt that pulled her up to the next lock-on point. A third lightning bolt pulled her up to a platform.

Then Symbol jumped up to a ledge, ran up a flight of stairs and dashed through a portal.

She spent several seconds staring at a river that ran along beside her. It was not in anything and was just floating. “That’s weird,” she moved on, running around a corner. “Why am I even questioning that, this whole place is weird.”

Then a lightning bolt blew apart a statue!

“Woah!” Symbol jumped back in fright. “I’d better be careful,” she hit her Wizard Driver’s left Shift Lever once. [MAGICAL TOUCH GO!] Then she swiped her left glove over her Wizard Driver’s Hand Author. [ACTIVE! C RANK SPELL!] Symbol threw her left glove forwards, firing a beam of red lightning that pulled her up to a platform. Then she pulled herself over to a statue with another lightning bolt, before a third lightning bolt yanked her to an island.

“This is just like the Lightning Teather in that game I played with Dante once,” muttered Symbol. “What was it? That's it! Infamous Two!” 

At that moment a Wisp Phantom appeared from the air.

“Oh no,” Symbol switched the Active Ring for the Advance Ring, then she hit her Wizard Driver’s left Shift Lever and rolled to the side as the Wisp Phantom fired a barrage of purple beams from the crows that surrounded it. [TOUCH TO ADVANCE YOUR CLASS!] “Beam attacks now?!” Symbol scanned her left glove and the Advance Ring over her Wizard Driver’s Hand Author before thrusting them both out in front of her. [ADVANCE PLEASE!] “As if these Phantom’s weren’t hard enough to beat when they just had close combat!” the advance magic circle appeared and moved through her.

The Wisp Phantom fired several more purple beams at Symbol as she hit her Wizard Driver’s left Shift Lever three times. [TOUCH TO CAST THE NEXT LEVEL!] Then she scanned her left glove over her Wizard Driver’s Hand Author as the rectangle and orb-shaped emitters on her body started to release yellow particles. [ADVANCE A TIER SPELL!] She crossed her arms and winced as the particles formed into a circle shaped shield in front of her. The lasers blasted into the shield and destroyed it in less than a second, sending Symbol flying back with sparks coming from her forearm armour and chestplate.

Symbol bounced along the ground twice before flipping back to her boots and getting back up. She winced as she moved the Advance Ring onto her left index finger and added the Blocker Ring to her left ring finger. The Wisp Phantom fired another dozen lasers as Symbol hit her Wizard Driver’s left Shift Lever. [TOUCH TO ADVANCE YOUR CLASS!] Then she scanned her left glove over her Wizard Driver’s Hand Author as the lasers rushed towards her. [ADVANCE BLOCKER PLEASE!] She held her left glove out in front of her and the beams slammed into the blocker magic circle as it appeared and moved back through Symbol.

The Wisp Phantom was not happy and fired another dozen beams at her as Symbol pressed her Wizard Driver’s left Shift Lever once. [TOUCH TO CAST THE NEXT LEVEL!] Then she scanned her left glove over her Wizard Driver’s Hand Author as the emitters started to release blue magical energy. [ADVANCE BLOCKER C TIER SPELL!] It gathered in front of her as Symbol held both her gloves out in front of her. The beams blasted into the shield and this one was much stronger than the last shield so it held. Suddenly, the beams drew closer together as they started spinning before cracking the shield and breaking through it. Sparks exploded as Symbol was sent flying backwards.

“This isn’t looking good,” Symbol saw the crows move away from the Wisp Phantom and surround her. “And this is worse,” Symbol hit her Wizard Driver’s left Shift Lever three times. [TOUCH TO CAST THE NEXT LEVEL!] Then she scanned her left glove over her Wizard Driver’s Hand Author as the crows fired. [ADVANCE BLOCKER A TIER SPELL!] A blue aura appeared around Symbol, blocking all of the beams for several seconds before they broke through and smashed into her. Sparks exploded in all directions as Symbol took on more damage.

“This isn’t good,” Symbol hit her Wizard Driver’s left Shift Lever twice. [TOUCH TO CAST THE NEXT LEVEL!] Then she scanned her left glove over her Wizard Driver’s Hand Author as the emitters started to release blue magical energy. [ADVANCE BLOCKER B TIER SPELL!] Symbol drew a circle in the air with both of her gloves leaving blue trails through the air that formed a circle. The magical energy formed within the circle, transforming it into a shield. Symbol pulled back her right glove and hit the shield, sending it shooting forwards. The Wisp Phantom pulled back on its crows, they appeared around it and each of them fired a beam that slammed into the shield, holding it back and cracking it.

“Now’s my chance!” Symbol slammed her glove down on her Wizard Driver’s left Shift Lever four times. [TOUCH TO CAST THE NEXT LEVEL! VERY NICE!] Then she scanned her left glove over her Wizard Driver’s Hand Author as the emitters on her body started to generate blue particles of blue magical energy. [ADVANCE BLOCKER S TIER SPELL! THE BEST!] Then Symbol threw both of her gloves forwards. “Containment Cube!” the particles gathered into a cube of blue magical energy that trapped the Wisp Phantom and its crows into a confined space.

“Huh, that actually worked,” commented Symbol as she switched the Blocker Ring for the Breaker Ring and punched down on her Wizard Driver’s left Shift Lever. [TOUCH TO ADVANCE YOUR CLASS!] Symbol held her left glove out in front of her after scanning it over her Wizard Driver’s left Shift Lever. [ADVANCE BREAKER PLEASE!] The breaker magic circle appeared in front of her and moved back through Symbol, transforming her into the Advance Breaker Style.

Then Symbol hit her Wizard Driver’s left Shift Lever four times. [TOUCH TO CAST THE NEXT LEVEL! VERY NICE!] She scanned her left glove across her Wizard Driver’s Hand Author as the emitters on her body glowed and released red magical energy. [ADVANCE BREAKER S TIER SPELL! THE BEST!] Symbol held her left glove into the air and covered in red magical energy as she slowly clenched it into a fist. “Breaker!” Symbol brought her glove back as she charged. “Impact!” just before she was able to slam her fist into the cube, the crows fired their lasers in all directions, the Containment Cube cracked before shattering under the assault.

But it was too late and Symbol’s fist slammed into the Wisp Phantom. A long stream of sparks came from the impact point while a beam of red magical energy tore through its back. The Wisp Phantom flew back and Symbol was about to run after it before the crows started to dive bomb her.

“Changing tactics?!” Symbol flew sparks come from her armour as she was pecked and scratched by the crows. She hit her Wizard Driver’s left Shift Lever once. [TOUCH TO CAST THE NEXT LEVEL!] Then she scanned her left glove over her Wizard Driver’s Hand Author. [ADVANCE BREAKER C TIER SPELL!] The emitters on her body ejected red magical energy that gathered around her fists as Symbol started to throw punches, only to miss the mobile birds.

Symbol snarled as she hit her Wizard Driver’s left Shift Lever twice. [TOUCH TO CAST THE NEXT LEVEL!] Then she scanned her left glove over her Wizard Driver’s Hand Author and the emitters generated red magical energy, forcing the birds to back off. [ADVANCE BREAKER B TIER SPELL!] Symbol covered her right glove in red magical energy as she curled it into a fist and threw an uppercut. The fist slammed into one of the birds, sparks came from it as cracks spread through it before the bird exploded.

Symbol used the momentum behind her fist to pull herself up into the air as she hit her Wizard Driver’s left Shift Lever three times. [TOUCH TO CAST THE NEXT LEVEL!] Then she held her left glove over her Wizard Driver’s Hand Author as the emitters generated a larger amount of red magical energy. [ADVANCE BREAKER A TIER SPELL!] It wrapped around Symbol’s fist as the Kamen Rider threw a downwards punch, only for the crows to dart out of the way.

At least, most of them avoided Symbol’s fist, one of them was kicked into the fist’s path by several other crows, sparks exploded from its body as the crow went into a tail dive and slammed into the ground.

“That was just plain cruel!” shouted Symbol as she slammed her glove down on her Wizard Driver’s left Shift Lever twice. [TOUCH TO CAST THE NEXT LEVEL!] She swiped her left glove over her Wizard Driver’s Hand Author as the emitters on her body released red magical energy. [ADVANCE BREAKER B TIER SPELL!] It gathered around Symbol’s right fist as she threw an uppercut that the crows avoided again and started pecking her as they came back around.

“This is getting annoying!” shouted Symbol. “Time to change my style!” she pressed her Wizard Driver’s left Shift Lever four times. [TOUCH TO CAST THE NEXT LEVEL! VERY NICE!] The emitters on her body released a large amount of red magical energy after she scanned her left glove across her Wizard Driver’s Hand Author. [ADVANCE BREAKER S TIER SPELL! THE BEST!] Symbol jumped into the air and held her right glove out in front of her. Red magical energy gathered around it as she pulled her fist back and spun in the air. “Breaker Impact!” she came down and slammed her fist into the ground. From the impact came a shockwave of red magical energy that surged outwards and smashed into the crows, driving them back towards the Wisp Phantom.

With the opening she had gotten, Symbol switched the Breaker Ring for the Bounder Ring and pressed her Wizard Driver’s left Shift Lever. [TOUCH TO ADVANCE YOUR CLASS!] Then she scanned her left glove over her Wizard Driver’s Hand Author and held it out in front of her. [ADVANCE BOUNDER PLEASE!] The bounder magic circle appeared and moved back through Symbol, blocking several more lasers beams that the crows had fired at her.

Then the crows fired another dozen beams at Symbol as she hit her Wizard Driver’s left Shift Lever once. [TOUCH TO CAST THE NEXT LEVEL!] She swiped her left glove over her Wizard Driver’s Hand Author as the emitters on her body generated green magical energy. [ADVANCE BOUNDER C TIER SPELL!] The energy gathered around Symbol’s boots and gloves as she zipped forwards. The beams were moving a lot slower and Symbol dodged around them, punching the Wisp Phantom in the face with a glowing fist. Sparks exploded from the impact as the Wisp Phantom was sent flying back from the force behind the punch.

Symbol paused and that was a mistake. A dozen orbs of purple magical energy smashed into her backplate and sent her flying forwards with sparks exploding from her backplate. Symbol grunted and got up, backflipping over another dozen orbs before they changed course and slammed into her making more sparks explode from their body.

Snarling, Symbol hit her Wizard Driver’s left Shift Lever twice. [TOUCH TO CAST THE NEXT LEVEL!] Then she scanned her left glove over her Wizard Driver’s Hand Author as the emitters jettisoned green magical energy. [ADVANCE BOUNDER B TIER SPELL!] The energy wrapped around her left leg as Symbol rocked forwards and leapt into a flying kick. The crows avoided it but were still buffeted by the amount of wind that Symbol kicked up as she passed them.

“That worked a bit better,” Symbol hit her Wizard Driver’s left Shift Lever twice again. [TOUCH TO CAST THE NEXT LEVEL!] Then she swiped her left glove over her Wizard Driver’s Hand Author as the emitters on her body released green magical energy that wrapped around her legs. [ADVANCE BOUNDER B TIER SPELL!] Then Symbol dashed forwards, only for the crows to remain steady against the violent wind that she kicked up. “What?!” Symbol was hit by another dozen spheres of purple magical energy that made sparks explode from her body.

“How did-?!” Symbol glared at the Wisp Phantom as she came to release what had just happened. “That thing must have altered the crows to ignore wind sheer,” Symbol hit her Wizard Driver’s left Shift Lever three times. [TOUCH TO CAST THE NEXT LEVEL!] Then she scrolled her left glove over her Wizard Driver’s Hand Author as the emitters released green magical energy. [ADVANCE BOUNDER A TIER SPELL!] It wrapped around her shoulders as Symbol darted forwards. Only for the crows to fire beams that interlocked in front of the Wisp Phantom, forming a net that Symbol smashed into. She was sent flying backwards and smashed through a pillar. 

“Ok, that is it!” Symbol slammed her glove down on her Wizard Driver’s left Shift Lever four times. [TOUCH TO CAST THE NEXT LEVEL! VERY NICE!] Then she scanned her left glove over her Wizard Driver’s Hand Author as the emitters each fired out a stream of green magical energy. [ADVANCE BOUNDER S TIER SPELL! THE BEST!] The streams formed into a cloud of green magical energy that wrapped around Symbol’s right boot as she took up a kicking stance. “Bounder Impact!” half of the crows fired while the other half formed a net around the Wisp Phantom. Symbol vanished, in the next half-second all of the crows that had been firing were hit by a green blur. Symbol jumped into a flying kick that slammed into the net. The net started to crack from the speed and force behind the kick as the Wisp Phantom raised a hand, forming an orb of purple magical energy.

“No!” shouted Symbol before the orb slammed into her. She was smashed into the ground as the orb detonated and sent flying, she skipped over the ground like a rock on a pond before smashing through a wall.

“I had no idea this thing could fight itself!” muttered Symbol, cursing herself for making such an idiotic assumption. Lightning sparked over her body as streams of sparks came from several cracks in her armour like blood. “This isn’t looking good,” muttered Symbol before a light shone from her left glove as the Bounder Ring was replaced by a ring that was identical to it with a purple gem and the numbers zero four engraved into the centre of the gem in black.

“This had better help!” Symbol hit her Wizard Driver’s left Shift Lever as the crows started to charge up a massive blast of energy. [TOUCH TO ADVANCE YOUR CLASS!] Then she scanned her left glove over her Wizard Driver’s Hand Author as the crows fired. [ADVANCE BLASTER PLEASE!] A purple magic circle with the numbers zero four in black appeared in front of Symbol and blocked the blast. Then it moved back through her. The circle in the centre of her chestplate turned purple and the numbers shifted from zero three too zero four. The green colour of her robe shifted into purple, while the bottom right light on her robe dimmed to black and the bottom left light shifted from black to purple. The emitters on Symbol’s forearm guards, shin armour and shoulder pauldrons turned purple.

She was now Kamen Rider Symbol, Advance Blaster Style.

Symbol pressed her Wizard Driver’s left Shift Lever once. [TOUCH TO CAST THE NEXT LEVEL!] “Let's hope this works,” she scanned her left glove across her Wizard Driver’s Hand Author as the emitters on her body released purple magical energy. [ADVANCE BLASTER C TIER SPELL!] The energy gathered around Symbol and transformed into four orbs of purple magical energy. “Go!” she shouted as the crows fired. The orbs shot forwards and smashed through the beams, they slammed into the crows and detonated destroying half of the crows' numbers.

The rest of the crows surrounded Symbol as they charged up their beams. “That isn’t going to work!” Symbol pressed her Wizard Driver’s left Shift Lever twice. [TOUCH TO CAST THE NEXT LEVEL!] Then she scanned her left glove over her Wizard Driver’s Hand Author as the emitters started to generate purple magical energy. [ADVANCE BLASTER B TIER SPELL!] Symbol held out her gloves as the magical energy gathered into a circle of spheres around her. “Fire!” they shot outwards, moving fast enough to transform into bolts of purple magical energy. The crows fired, only for their beams to be forced back by Symbol’s bolt to plough through the beams and explode against the crows, destroying all but three of them.

The last three crows fired a purple beam each that combined into a single giant beam, making Symbol hit her Wizard Driver’s left Shift Lever three times. [TOUCH TO CAST THE NEXT LEVEL!] After she scanned her left glove over her Wizard Driver’s Hand Author, then emitters started to generate purple magical energy. [ADVANCE BLASTER A TIER SPELL!] It gathered in Symbol’s gloves as she thrust them both forwards, launching a purple magical beam that tore through the air. It smashed through the crow’s beam and into them, causing all three of the crows to explode.

Then Symbol turned to the Wisp Phantom as it started to charge up purple magical energy. “Payback time!” she slammed her glove down on her Wizard Driver’s left Shift Lever four times. [TOUCH TO CAST THE NEXT LEVEL! VERY NICE!] Then she scanned her left glove over her Wizard Driver’s Hand Author as the emitters on her body each emitted a stream of purple magical energy. [ADVANCE BLASTER S TIER SPELL! THE BEST!] The energy from the rectangle emitters gathered around her gloves while the energy from the shoulder emitters formed into six orbs of purple magical energy, three on either side of Symbol. “Blaster Impact!” Symbol slammed her gloves together and threw them forwards, out of her palms erupted a giant beam of purple magical energy. Meanwhile, the Wisp Phantom threw its hands forwards and a second beam blasted out of its arm blades. The two beams slammed into each other and the combatants were pushed back from the force. The contact point wavered before the orbs each fired a thin purple beam. The six beams raced by the contact point and slammed into the Wisp Phantoms. Cracks spread through its body as the giant beam pushed its own beam back and washed over it. A powerful explosion ripped through the area after several seconds. 

Seeing that the portal was open, Symbol removed the Advance and Blaster Rings from her left glove before sliding the Active Ring onto her left middle finger before hitting her Wizard Driver’s left Shift Lever. [MAGICAL TOUCH HENSHIN!] Symbol scanned her left glove over her Wizard Driver’s Hand Author. [ACTIVE PLEASE!] Then she held her left glove out to the side as the active magic circle appeared and moved through her. [LET’S GO!]

Once the transformation was complete, Symbol ran through the portal. 

Once she came out the other side, Symbol ran up a short flight of stairs and into a tunnel.

Suddenly, the entrance exploded behind her and collapsed, blocking her way back out. “What was that about?” muttered Symbol as she ran deeper into the tunnel. She jumped over a piece of rock and smashed down some wooden boards that were in her path.

Once through that blockade, she was back inside a much bigger tunnel that had a hole in the left side. She glanced through it and saw the church where the scream had come from. “Why is it upside down now?” Symbol asked herself after several seconds of staring.

Shaking off the confusion, Symbol went on her way. “I’m almost there,” suddenly the tunnel was blocked by a barrier. “Nuts!” 

The Phantoms arrived.

Battle Start!

Symbol slammed her left glove down on her Wizard Driver’s left Shift Lever as a pair of Elite Blade Phantoms jumped out of the ground. [MAGICAL TOUCH GO!] Red lightning crackled around her left palm after she scanned her left glove over her Wizard Driver’s Hand Author. [ACTIVE! C RANK SPELL!] Symbol dashed forwards and forced a slash to the side with the Active Blade as she slammed her left palm into the Elite Blade Phantom’s gut. A beam of red lightning shot out of its back and chained into the other Elite Blade Phantom, making it stumble back with sparks coming from the impact point.

Then Symbol jumped back, only for sparks to explode from her body as she was hit by the fire line from the first Elite Blade Phantoms. Symbol pulled on the Active Blade’s thumb as she recovered, opening its Hand Author. [COME ON A SLASH SHAKE HANDS!] Red lightning-sparked over the sharp side of the Active Blade as Symbol swung it at the Phantom. [ACTIVE! SLASH STRIKE!] The first Elite Blade Phantom blocked with its sword but was forced to one knee. “Red slash!” Symbol forced the Elite Blade Phantom down as the Active Blade started to cut through its sword, only to be stopped when the sword was set on fire.

Suddenly, the other Elite Blade Phantom weaved around its fellow Phantom as it slashed Symbol across the side, making a shriek of metal on armour. Symbol grunted in pain as she pressed her Wizard Driver’s left Shift Lever twice after letting go of the Active Blade with her left glove. [MAGICAL TOUCH GO!] Then Symbol scanned her left glove across her Wizard Driver’s Hand Author as the second Elite Blade Phantom drew back for another swing. [ACTIVE! B RANK SPELL!] Red lightning covered Symbol’s left forearm guard as she blocked the second slash with it. Sparks were drawn as the blade cut into Symbol’s forearm guard, but not as much as it would have if the lightning was not there. She punched the Elite Blade Phantom in the face as it struggled to recover from the unexpected resistance.

Symbol kicked the first Elite Blade Phantom in the gut as she added the Boost and Bind Rings to her right glove. She threw the Active Blade into the air as she hit her Wizard Driver’s right Shift Lever. [MAGIC TOUCHIE HENSHIN!] Then she scanned her right glove over her Wizard Driver’s Hand Author. [BOOST BIND PLEASE!] Then she held her right glove out to the side as the two magic circles appeared to her right and then moved through her.

Symbol caught the Active Blade and transformed it into the Active Rifle. Then she pulled on its thumb, opening its Hand Author. [COME ON A SHOOTING SHAKE HANDS!] Then she scanned her left glove and the Active Ring over the Active Blade’s Hand Author. [ACTIVE! SHOOTING STRIKE!] Symbol took aim and fired an orange spike at the first Elite Blade Phantom. “Bind Bolt!” it slammed into the Phantom and expanded into a bind ring that trapped the Elite Blade Phantom’s arms to its sides.

Suddenly, Symbol dropped to the ground, avoiding a slash from the second Elite Blade Phantom as she hit her Wizard Driver’s right Shift Lever twice. [MAGIC TOUCHIE GO!] Symbol scanned her right glove over her Wizard Driver’s Hand Author as orange magical energy was charged into the Boost Locks. [BIND MAGIC PLEASE!] She spun around and kicked out as a chain was ejected from the Boost Locks. It swept around with arc of her kick and knocked the second Elite Blade Phantom away and into the first Elite Blade Phantom, breaking the binding ring as they both fell over.

While the Elite Blade Phantoms were lying on the ground, Symbol pressed her Wizard Driver’s right Shift Lever once. [MAGIC TOUCHIE GO!] Then she scanned her right glove over her Wizard Driver’s Hand Author as purple magical energy flooded the Boost Locks. [BOOST MAGIC PLEASE!] She spun around and the Boost Locks fired a purple chain that speared through both of the Elite Blade Phantoms. With a yank of her boot, Symbol pulled the Phantoms back towards her and kicked the both of them away the second they got within kicking range.

“Now’s my chance!” shouted Symbol as she transformed the Active Rifle into the Active Sword and jumped into the air while pulling on its thumb, opening its Hand Author. [COME ON A SLASH SHAKE HANDS!] Symbol held her left glove and the Active Ring over the Active Blade’s Hand Author as red lighting raced up and down to the tip of the blade. [ACTIVE! SLASH STRIKE!] Symbol came down, stabbing the Active Blade through both of the Elite Blade Phantom’s in a downwards thrust. “Boost Slash!” red lightning and sparks crackled along their bodies before they both exploded.

Symbol had no time for a break as several Peryton Phantoms appeared in the air. “No, you don’t!” Symbol switched the Bind Ring for the Defend Ring and hit her Wizard Driver’s right Shift Lever. [MAGIC TOUCHIE HENSHIN!] Then she scanned her right glove over her Wizard Driver’s Hand Author as she held it out to the right. [BOOST DEFEND PLEASE!] The defend magic circle appeared to Symbol’s right and moved through her as the Peryton Phantoms started to charge up their lightning.

The Peryton Phantoms let loose with their lightning as Symbol slammed her right glove down on her Wizard Driver’s right Shift Lever twice. [MAGIC TOUCHIE GO!] Then she scanned her right glove over her Wizard Driver’s Hand Author as the lightning bolted towards her. [DEFEND MAGIC PLEASE!] Symbol threw up the Defend Shield as the front of it was covered in a thin layer of grey magical energy that deflected the lightning bolts away from her.

Then Symbol jumped into the air, the Boost Grieves shooting her past Peryton Phantoms. They started to turn towards her as Symbol hit her Wizard Driver’s right Shift Lever once. [MAGIC TOUCHIE GO!] Then she scanned her right glove over her Wizard Driver’s Hand Author as purple magical energy ran into the Boost Grieves. [BOOST MAGIC PLEASE!] Symbol turned in the air as the boost magic circle appeared. She landed on it and jumped off towards the Peryton Phantoms with much greater speed.

The Peryton Phantom’s managed to turn around and both of them fired a quick bolt of lightning at Symbol. She pulled on the Active Rifle’s thumb, opening its Hand Author. [COME ON A SHOOTING SHAKE HANDS!] Then she shook hands with the Active Rifle’s Hand Author, making a grey defend magic circle appear in front of the barrel. [ACTIVE! SHOOTING STRIKE!] Symbol fired a grey bolt from the Active Rifle that shot through the air, it stopped and turned into a grey kite shield construct, blocking both of the lightning bolts.

Then Symbol hit her Wizard Driver’s left Shift Lever four times. [MAGICAL TOUCH GO! VERY NICE!] She scanned her left glove and the Active Ring over her Wizard Driver’s Hand Author as she shot towards the Peryton Phantoms. [ACTIVE! S RANK SPELL! THE BEST!] Symbol flipped around so that her boots were facing the Peryton Phantoms. They lit up with red lightning as Symbol threw the Defend Shield at the Peryton Phantoms, it turned transparent as it grew in size. When it reached the Peryton Phantoms, it phased through them and then stopped, hovering in the air while the Phantoms were trapped inside it. “Air Step!” shouted Symbol as her speed increased, the red lightning pulling her towards the Defend Shield magnetically. At that last second, the Defend Shield vanished, leaving both of the Peryton Phantoms to take the attack. A bolt of lightning shot through the both of them as Symbol’s boots made contact and they were driven into the ground. Sparks came from the entrance as exits points as Symbol got off them. She turned around and walked away. The Peryton Phantoms tried to get up, only to fall over and explode. The flames silhouetted Symbol with her blue visor glowing brightly.

Before Symbol could even get her breath back, a Ravager Phantom burst from the ground with its chainsaw revving and slammed it into Symbol’s chestplate. Sparks exploded as she was sent flying backwards and smashed into a wall. 

“Ow,” Symbol got back up and switched the Boost Ring for the Ice Ring, as the Ravager Phantom revved up she hit her Wizard Driver’s right Shift Lever. [MAGIC TOUCHIE HENSHIN!] Then Symbol scanned her right glove over her Wizard Driver’s Hand Author as the Phantom set itself on fire. [ICE DEFEND PLEASE!] Symbol held her right glove out to the side as the ice magic circle appeared and moved through her, transforming her into the Active Ice Defend Style.

The Ravager Phantom charged at Symbol as she pressed her Wizard Driver’s right Shift Lever twice. [MAGIC TOUCHIE GO!] Then she scanned her right glove over her Wizard Driver’s Hand Author as the Ravager Phantom neared. [DEFEND MAGIC PLEASE!] Symbol stabbed the Ice Shield into the ground and a sphere of ice appeared around her, rising up from the ground as the water particles froze. The Ravager Phantom smashed into the sphere and melted it into water which put out its flames.

The Ravager Phantom didn’t let this stop it as it continued its charge. Symbol hit her Wizard Driver’s right Shift Lever once. [MAGIC TOUCHIE GO!] Then she scanned her right glove over her Wizard Driver’s Hand Author as she slammed the Ice Shield into the ground. [ICE MAGIC PLEASE!] The water on the floor was pulled towards Symbol and froze into a wall of ice that stopped the Phantom in its tracks as it tried to cut through the defence.

“Now’s my chance!” Symbol pressed her Wizard Driver’s left Shift Lever four times. [MAGICAL TOUCH GO! VERY NICE!] Then she scanned her left glove over her Wizard Driver’s Hand Author. [ACTIVE! S RANK SPELL! THE BEST!] Red magical energy covered her right glove as Symbol slammed it into the ice wall. Red magical energy surged through the ice wall as it collapsed on top of the Ravager Phantom, burying it.

Seeing or hearing no explosion, Symbol knew that the Phantom was still alive and drew the Active Blade. Then she pulled on its thumb, opening its Hand Author. [COME ON A SLASH SHAKE HANDS!] Symbol scanned her left glove and the Active Ring over the Active Blade’s Hand Author. [ACTIVE! SLASH STRIKE!] Ice surged over the sharp side as the Ravager Phantom burst from the ice it was buried under. Symbol dashed forwards and slashed the Phantom across the waist with her sword that was glowing ice blue. This cut a blue line through the Ravager Phantom’s waist as it fell over and exploded after frost spread over it.

Right after the Ravager Phantom exploded, a Tyrant Phantom burst from the ground.

“Oh come on!” shouted Symbol as she switched the Active Ring for the Giga Ring and hit her Wizard Driver’s left Shift Lever. [MAGICAL TOUCH HENSHIN!] Symbol scanned her left glove and the Giga Ring over her Wizard Driver’s Hand Author. [GIGA PLEASE!] Then she held her left glove down to the ground as the Giga magic circle appeared and rose up through her. [BREAK THROUGH!] 

The Tyrant Phantom charged at Symbol. “Oh shit!” mentally blaming Dante she pressed her Wizard Driver’s left Shift Lever twice. [MAGICAL TOUCH SPELL!] Then she scanned her left glove over her Wizard Driver’s Hand Author. [GIGA B RANK SPELL!] Green magical energy covered her forearm armour as she crossed her arms in front of her body. The Tyrant Phantom slammed into her and drove Symbol backwards, her boots digger furrows into the ground before they both ground to a halt.

Symbol hit her Wizard Driver’s left Shift Lever once. [MAGICAL TOUCH SPELL!] Then she scanned her left glove over her Wizard Driver’s Hand Author as the Tyrant Phantom set one of its fists on fire. [GIGA C RANK SPELL!] Symbol pulled back her right glove as it shone with green magical energy and she threw it forwards. Symbol’s fist met the punch of the Tyrant Phantom and the impact sent out of shockwave that threw the Phantom and Kamen Rider away from each other.

Symbol added the Bombardment and Drill Rings to her right glove before hitting her Wizard Driver’s right Shift Lever. [MAGIC TOUCHIE HENSHIN!] Then she scanned her right glove over her Wizard Driver’s Hand Author as the Tyrant Phantom made it's way back to its feet. [BOMBARDMENT DRILL PLEASE!] She held her right glove down to the ground as the two magic circles appeared and rose up through her.

Then she hit her Wizard Driver’s right Shift Lever twice. [MAGIC TOUCHIC GO!] The Tyrant Phantom got up and set itself on fire as Symbol scanned her right glove over her Wizard Driver’s Hand Author. [DRILL MAGIC PLEASE!] The Spiral Cannon fired a thin beam of purple magical energy that slammed into the Tyrant Phantom and made sparks explode from its chest. It stopped its charge for a second to recover.

“Now!” Symbol switched the Drill Ring for the Terra Ring and hit her Wizard Driver’s right Shift Lever. [MAGIC TOUCHIE HENSHIN!] Then she swiped her right glove over her Wizard Driver’s Hand Author. [BOMBARDMENT TERRA PLEASE!] She slammed her right glove onto the ground and the terra magic circle unfolded and rose up through her. 

The Tyrant Phantom recovered as it set itself on fire and charged. Symbol slammed her glove down on her Wizard Driver’s right Shift Lever. [MAGIC TOUCHIC GO!] Then she scanned her right glove over her Wizard Driver’s Hand Author as the Chain Cannons took aim. [TERRA MAGIC PLEASE!] Symbol fired just before the Tyrant Phantom could hit her. A burst of shotgun shells burst out of the Chain Cannons and slammed into the Tyrant Phantom, making it stagger backwards with sparks coming from the many, many impact points.

“That looked like it hurt,” commented Symbol as she switched the Bombardment Ring for the Hammer Ring and pressed her Wizard Driver’s right Shift Lever. [MAGIC TOUCHIE HENSHIN!] Then she swiped her right glove over her Wizard Driver’s Hand Author as the Tyrant Phantom started to recover. [HAMMER TERRA PLEASE!] Symbol held her right glove down to the ground as the hammer magic circle appeared under her boots and rose up through her.

The Tyrant Phantom punched Symbol, only for the Ripper Hammer to block the punch as it appeared. Symbol hit her Wizard Driver’s right Shift Lever once. [MAGIC TOUCHIC GO!] Then she scanned her right glove over her Wizard Driver’s Hand Author. [HAMMER MAGIC PLEASE!] The chainsaws on either side of the Ripper Hammer started up as Symbol swung it down and slammed it into the Phantom, sparks exploded from the Tyrant Phantom as a pair of glowing black lines were cut through its chest.

Symbol switched the Terra Ring for the Quake Ring and hit her Wizard Driver’s right Shift Lever. [MAGIC TOUCHIE HENSHIN!] Symbol scanned her right glove over her Wizard Driver’s Hand Author as the Phantom recovered and charged at her. [HAMMER QUAKE PLEASE!] She was sent flying as the quake magic circle rose up through her and the Tyrant Phantom slammed its fist into her chestplate.

Symbol recovered in the air and landed on her boots as she tapped her Wizard Driver’s right Shift Lever twice. [MAGIC TOUCHIC GO!] Then she scanned her right glove across her Wizard Driver’s Hand Author as the Tyrant Phantom charged. [QUAKE MAGIC PLEASE!] The pistons on the Piston Hammer pulled back and fired when Symbol slammed the weapon into the ground, making it shake and the Tyrant Phantom stop its charge was it tried to keep its balance.

While the Tyrant Phantom was doing that, Symbol struck her Wizard Driver’s right Shift Lever once. [MAGIC TOUCHIC GO!] Then she scanned her right glove across her Wizard Driver’s Hand Author and the pistons pulled back once more. [HAMMER MAGIC PLEASE!] Symbol swung the Piston Hammer, hitting the Tyrant Phantom in the side and sending it flying as the pistons slammed down.

“Time to end this,” Symbol drew the Giga Axe and pulled on its thumb, opening its Hand Author. [COME ON A SMASH SHAKE HANDS!] Then she shook her left glove with the Giga Axe’s Hand Author. [GIGA SMASH STRIKE!] Green magical energy cloaked the head of the Giga Axe as Symbol jumped into the air and swung it down, cutting a glowing green line through the centre of the Phantom.

“The Final!” Symbol switched the Giga Axe into the Giga Spear and pulled on its thumb, closing and reopening its Hand Author. [COME ON A STAB SHAKE HANDS!] Then she scanned her left glove over the Giga Spears Hand Author. [GIGA! STAB STRIKE!] Green magical energy build up in front of the Giga Spear as an orb that Symbol stabbed. “Quake Blast!” the orb transformed into a beam that shot through the air and slammed into the Tyrant Phantom, consuming it and causing the Phantom to bleed sparks before it went up in an explosion. 

With the Tyrant Phantom dead, the barriers around the area dropped.

Symbol ran through an archway and came to the edge of a gap which had a lock-on point over it. “Here goes,” she switched the Giga Ring for Active Ring and hit her Wizard Driver’s left Shift Lever. [MAGICAL TOUCH HENSHIN!] Then she scanned her left glove over her Wizard Driver’s Hand Author. [ACTIVE PLEASE!] Symbol held her left glove out to the side as the active magic circle appeared and moved through her. [LET’S GO!] 

Then she hit her Wizard Driver’s left Shift Lever once. [MAGICAL TOUCH GO!] Symbol scanned her left glove across her Wizard Driver’s Hand Author as red lightning started to build up around her left palm. [ACTIVE! C RANK SPELL!] Then she thrust it forwards, firing a chain of red lightning that pulled her up to the lock-on point.

Symbol switched the Active Ring for the Swift Ring and hit her Wizard Driver’s left Shift Lever. [MAGICAL TOUCH HENSHIN!] She aligned her left glove and the Swift Ring with her Wizard Driver’s Hand Author. [SWIFT PLEASE!] Before holding her left glove into the air as the swift magic circle appeared and dropped down through her. [DASH AWAY!]

She hit her Wizard Driver’s left Shift Lever twice. [MAGICAL TOUCH GO!] Then Symbol scanned her left glove over her Wizard Driver’s Hand Author as she let go of the rock that the lock-on point was in. [SWIFT! B RANK SPELL!] She kicked against the air and shot forwards as a yellow blur.

Symbol landed on the ground and ran through an archway shaped portal.

She emerged on the other side and ran along a narrow pathway, into a large island.

There was several loud crashes and bangs from inside, followed by the sound of Symbol swearing until she emerged out the other side.

Symbol came to a gap and slammed down on her Wizard Driver’s left Shift Lever twice. [MAGICAL TOUCH GO!] Then she scanned her left glove over her Wizard Driver’s Hand Author as she took up a running stance. [SWIFT! B RANK SPELL!] She darted forward and jumped the gap, landing on the other side of it.

Seeing another island several feet away, Symbol was about to leap for it, when she noticed it was intangible. “Here we go again,” she drew the Swift Blaster and pulled on its thumb, opening its Hand Author. [COME ON A BLAST SHAKE HANDS!] Then she scanned her left glove over the Swift Blaster’s Hand Author as yellow magical energy build up in front of it. [SWIFT! BLASTER STRIKE!] Symbol pulled the trigger and fired a barrage of yellow bullets that slammed into the island and turned it solid.

Then she added the Wing and Sniper Rings to her right glove and hit her Wizard Driver’s right Shift Lever. [MAGIC TOUCHIE HENSHIN!] Symbol scanned her right glove across her Wizard Driver’s Hand Author. [WING SNIPER PLEASE!] Then she held it into the air as the two magic circles appeared and fell through her.

Symbol took up a running stance as she hit her Wizard Driver’s right Shift Lever once. [MAGIC TOUCHIE GO!] She scanned her right glove over her Wizard Driver’s Hand Author as she spread the Flight Wings. [WING MAGIC PLEASE!] She jumped forwards and gave the Flight Wings a mighty flap that sent her shooting over the edge of the gap and landing on the next platform.

Then she jumped to the next platform, making it with a boost from the Flight Wings.

“This is going to be hard,” commented Symbol as she stood in front of a platform that was intangible and spinning. She drew the Swift Blaster and pulled on its thumb, opening its Hand Author. [COME ON A BLAST SHAKE HANDS!] Then she scanned her left glove and the Swift Ring over the Swift Blasters Hand Author as yellow magical energy started to build in front of it. [SWIFT! BLASTER STRIKE!] Symbol pulled the trigger and fired a bolt of yellow magical energy that slammed into the platform and turned it solid while it was at an angle.

“I could have done better,” muttered Symbol as she hit her Wizard Driver’s right Shift Lever twice. [MAGIC TOUCHIE GO!] She scanned her right glove over her Wizard Driver’s Hand Author as she spread the Flight Wings. [WING MAGIC PLEASE!] Symbol took a step back and leapt, landing on the tip of the platform that was highest thanks to the boost from the Flight Wings.

She landed on the tip and started to slide down as she switched the Swift Ring for the Active Ring. [MAGICAL TOUCH HENSHIN!] Symbol scanned her left glove over her Wizard Driver’s Hand Author. [ACTIVE PLEASE!] Then she held it out to the side as the active magic circle appeared and moved over her. [LET’S GO!] Transforming Symbol into the Active Style.

Then she hit her Wizard Driver’s left Shift Lever once. [MAGICAL TOUCH GO!] Then she scanned her left glove over her Wizard Driver’s Hand Author as red lightning built up around it. [ACTIVE! C RANK SPELL!] Symbol threw her left glove forwards as a chain of lightning appeared and latched onto the lock-on point pulling her up to the island.

“Made it,” commented Symbol.

Then the Phantoms appeared.

“And now I wish I hadn’t,” muttered Symbol.

She avoided a crossbow bolt from a Shielded Icarus Phantom and switched the Active Ring for the Swift Ring before hitting her Wizard Driver’s left Shift Lever. [MAGICAL TOUCH HENSHIN!] Then she scanned her left glove over her Wizard Driver’s Hand Author. [SWIFT PLEASE!] Symbol held her left glove into the air as the swift magic circle appeared.

“This isn’t good!” Symbol hit her Wizard Driver’s left Shift Lever twice. [MAGICAL TOUCH GO!] She scanned her left glove across her Wizard Driver’s Hand Author as another crossbow bolt shot towards her. [SWIFT! B RANK SPELL!] Her body glowed with yellow magical energy as she vanished in a blur and appeared behind the Shield Icarus Phantom a second later.

She drew the Swift Blaster and pulled on its thumb, opening its Hand Author. [COME ON A BLAST SHAKE HANDS!] Symbol scanned her left glove over the Swift Blaster’s Hand Author, shaking hands with it. [SWIFT! BLASTER STRIKE!] Yellow magical energy built up at the tip of the Swift Blaster, forming into an orb of bright yellow magical energy. “Swift Barrage!” Symbol pulled the trigger and fired a barrage of yellow magical energy into the back of the Shielded Icarus Phantom, causing it to explode.

Three more Shielded Icarus Phantoms appeared as Symbol added the Wing and Sniper Rings to her right glove before hitting her Wizard Driver’s right Shift Lever. [MAGIC TOUCHIE HENSHIN!] “Time to get some air on these losers,” Symbol scanned her right glove over her Wizard Driver’s Hand Author. [WING SNIPER PLEASE!] She held her right glove into the air and the two magic circles appeared, blocking the three crossbow bolts that had been heading towards Symbol. Then they fell through her.

Symbol spread the Flight Wings and shot into the air as she converted the Swift Blaster into the Swift Dagger. She tucked in the Flight Wings as she flew down towards the first Shielded Icarus Phantom and pulled on the Swift Dagger’s thumb, opening its Hand Author. [COME ON A HIT SHAKE HANDS!] Then she scanned her left glove over the Swift Dagger’s Hand Author as it started to glow with yellow magical energy. [SWIFT! STAB STRIKE!] That energy formed into a Flight Wing construct around the Swift Dagger’s blade. “Wing Cut!” Symbol blurred past the Shielded Icarus Phantom and cut a glowing yellow line through both it and its shield. The Phantom exploded as Symbol turned around and landed back on the ground in a crouch.

She switched the Wing and Sniper Rings for the Turbo and Zoomer Rings before hitting her Wizard Driver’s right Shift Lever. [MAGIC TOUCHIE HENSHIN!] She rolled to the side, avoiding another two bolts as she swiped her right glove over her Wizard Driver’s Hand Author. [TURBO ZOOMER PLEASE!] She held her right glove into the air as the two magic circles appeared and fell down through her, blocking another two crossbow bolts on their way.

Symbol dodged two more crossbow bolts as she pulled on the Swift Dagger’s thumb, opening its Hand Author.

STAB STRIKE!] Symbol covered the Swift Dagger in yellow magical energy as she slashed downwards, cutting a glowing yellow line through the Phantom. Sparks came from the line before the Phantom exploded.

Symbol took a crossbow bolt to the side as she landed back on the ground, sparks exploded from her side as the bolt impacted. “That hurt,” she switched the Turbo and Zoomer Rings for the Arrow and Blade Rings before punching her Wizard Driver’s right Shift Lever. [MAGIC TOUCHIE HENSHIN!] Then she scanned her right glove over her Wizard Driver’s Hand Author. [ARROW BLADE PLEASE!] She held her right glove into the air as the two magic circles unfolded and fell down through her.

Symbol avoided another crossbow bolt as she pulled on the Swift Dagger’s thumb, closing and reopening its Hand Author. [COME ON A HIT SHAKE HANDS!] Symbol scanned her left glove over her Swift Dagger’s Hand Author as it was covered in wind. [SWIFT! STAB STRIKE!] Symbol jumped into the air and slashes the Shielded Icarus Phantom twice, cutting a cross into it after the first slash carved through its shield. “Arrow Cut!” Symbol landed back on the ground as the Phantom exploded in the air.

Suddenly, she was hit by a line of fire from the ground that set her on fire. Symbol shouted in pain as sparks and micro explosions went off around her. She flipped back to her boots as the fire went out and glared at the Elite Blade Phantom that had just burst out of the ground. Symbol switched the Arrow and Blade Rings for the Wing and Sniper Rings before hitting her Wizard Driver’s right Shift Lever. [MAGIC TOUCHIE HENSHIN!] She scanned her right glove over her Wizard Driver’s Hand Author as she rolled to the side, avoiding a downward slash from the Elite Blade Phantom [WING SNIPER PLEASE!] Symbol held her right glove into the as the two magic circles appeared and fell down through her.

[MAGIC TOUCHIE GO!] Symbol scanned her right glove over her Wizard Driver’s Hand Author as she jumped into the air. [WING MAGIC PLEASE!] The Flight Wings were covered in silver light as Symbol flew down through the air and slashed the Elite Blade Phantom through the waist with the right Flight Wings. Spark flew from both of them as the Elite Blade Phantom recovered faster than Symbol thought it would and slashed her across the side.

“Argh!” Symbol slammed into the ground at speed, digging a furrow through it. “That hurt,” she got up and saw the Elite Blade Phantom charge magical energy into its sword. “No, you don’t!” Symbol hit her Wizard Driver’s right Shift Lever twice. [MAGIC TOUCHIE GO!] Then she scanned her right glove over her Wizard Driver’s Hand Author as she caught the Sniper Shooter, which appeared from thin air. [SNIPER MAGIC PLEASE!] Symbol shot a bolt of blue magical energy that slammed into the Elite Blade Phantom and forced it to stumble back, interrupting its casting.

Symbol took her opening to switch the Wing and Sniper Rings for the Arrow and Blade Rings before slamming down on her Wizard Driver’s right Shift Lever. [MAGIC TOUCHIE HENSHIN!] She held her right glove over her Wizard Driver’s Hand Author before thrusting it up into the air. [ARROW BLADE PLEASE!] The two magic circles appeared over Symbol’s helmet before falling through her.

Symbol drew the Swift Dagger and transformed it back into the Swift Blaster before pulling on its thumb, opening its Hand Author. [COME ON A BLAST SHAKE HANDS!] She shook her left glove with the Swift Blaster’s Hand Author as yellow magical energy collected in front of the gun. [SWIFT! BLASTER STRIKE!] The energy formed into a yellow buzzsaw that started spinning as Symbol held down on the trigger. “Blade Barrage!” Symbol released the trigger and fired the buzzsaw forwards, it slammed into the Elite Blade Phantom’s chest and sawed sparks out of it.

Then she hit her Wizard Driver’s right Shift Lever once. [MAGIC TOUCHIE GO!] Symbol scanned her right glove over her Wizard Driver’s Hand Author as the Buzz Bow appeared  [ARROW MAGIC PLEASE!] She grabbed her bow and swung it through the air, firing off six blasts of wind that shaped themselves into buzzsaws and cut sparks from the Elite Blade Phantom.

With a growl, Symbol hit her Wizard Driver’s right Shift Lever twice. [MAGIC TOUCHIE GO!] She scanned her right glove over her Wizard Driver’s Hand Author as the Buzz Bow gave off a red glow. [BLADE MAGIC PLEASE!] Symbol pulled back on the arrow, took aim and released it, firing a barrage of buzzsaws that the Elite Blade Phantom blocked with the flat of its sword.

“Time to end this!” Symbol slammed down on her Wizard Driver’s left Shift Lever four times. [MAGICAL TOUCH GO! VERY NICE!] Then she scanned her left glove over her Wizard Driver’s Hand Author as she pulled back on the Buzz Bow’s arrow. [SWIFT! S RANK SPELL! THE BEST!] Symbol took aim at the Elite Blade Phantom as five circles of yellow magical energy were pulled from the air and into the Buzz Bow, charging it. “Arrow Cutter!” shouted Symbol as the Buzz Bow finished charging, she let go of the arrow and fired a blast of yellow wind. It roared towards the Phantom as it transformed from a shapeless blast into an arrow of yellow wind that raced through the air and blasted through the Elite Blade Phantom.

Then Symbol heard the sound of another Phantom burst out of the ground behind her. “Now what?!” she turned around.

Just in time to see a sword-swinging down towards her. 

“Whoa!” she hit her Wizard Driver’s left Shift Lever twice. [MAGICAL TOUCH GO!] Then she scanned her left glove over her Wizard Driver’s Hand Author as yellow magical energy covered her body. [SWIFT!

Then Symbol hit her Wizard Driver’s left Shift Lever three times. [MAGICAL TOUCH GO!] She scanned her left glove and the Swift Ring over her Wizard Driver’s Hand Author as she swiped her right arm out to the side. [SWIFT! A RANK SPELL!] Five orbs of yellow magical energy appeared in the path of her arm and shot forwards, they smashed into the Death Knight Phantom’s shield but did no damage to it.

Knowing that remaining in the Swift Style would be pointless, Symbol switched the Swift Ring for the Giga Ring and hit her Wizard Driver’s left Shift Lever. [MAGICAL TOUCH HENSHIN!] Then she scanned her left glove and the Giga Ring over her Wizard Driver’s Hand Author. [GIGA PLEASE!] Symbol held her left glove down to the ground as the Giga magic circle appeared under her boots. [BREAK THROUGH!] It rose up through her, transforming Symbol into the Giga Style. 

The Death Knight Phantom ran at Symbol as she hit her Wizard Driver’s left Shift Lever once. [MAGICAL TOUCH SPELL!] She scanned her left glove and the Giga Ring over her Wizard Driver’s Hand Author. [GIGA C RANK SPELL!] Then she clenched her left glove into a fist as it started to glow with green magical energy. The Death Knight Phantom slashed down with its sword as Symbol blocked it with her right forearm guard and slammed her left fist into the Phantom’s shield, cracking it.

Symbol added the Punch and Quake Rings to her right glove before hitting her Wizard Driver’s right Shift Lever. [MAGIC TOUCHIE HENSHIN!] Then she scanned her right glove over her Wizard Driver’s Hand Author before placing it on the ground. [PUNCH QUAKE PLEASE!] The two magic circles unfolded under her boots and rose up through her as the Death Knight Phantom recovered.

The Death Knight Phantom charged at Symbol as she pressed her Wizard Driver’s right Shift Lever twice. [MAGIC TOUCHIC GO!] Symbol scanned her right glove over her Wizard Driver as the left Punch Impact primed. [QUAKE MAGIC PLEASE!] Symbol slammed her left glove into the ground. Fire roared out from the impact point as the ground around Symbol cracked and the Death Knight Phantom’s shield shattered as it was forced to block the attack with said shield.

While the Death Knight Phantom was staggered, Symbol hit her Wizard Driver’s right Shift Lever once. [MAGIC TOUCHIC GO!] Then she scanned her right glove over her Wizard Driver’s Hand Author as both of the Punch Impact’s primed. [PUNCH MAGIC PLEASE!] Symbol punched forwards several times, firing a dozen bolts of red magical energy and orange flame energy that smashed into the Phantom. It staggered backwards with each hit before micro explosions started to go off around it.

“Time to end this!” Symbol hit her Wizard Driver’s left Shift Lever four times. [MAGICAL TOUCH GO! VERY NICE!] Then she scanned her left glove over her Wizard Driver’s Hand Author as the right Punch Impact primed. [GIGA! S RANK SPELL! THE BEST!] Symbol slammed her fist into the ground and the right Punch Impact fired. Out of the ground roared a vertical blade of red magma. “Magma Blade!” shouted Symbol as the sharp implement roared forwards and cut the Phantom in half. Red lightning sparked between the two halves before they both exploded.

“Oh, not one of you again!” shouted Symbol as a Wisp Phantom appeared in the air. She switched the Quake Ring for the Drill Ring and pressed her Wizard Driver’s right Shift Lever. [MAGIC TOUCHIE HENSHIN!] Then she scanned her right glove over her Wizard Driver’s Hand Author. [PUNCH DRILL PLEASE!] Symbol placed her right glove on the ground and the drill magic circle appeared and moved up through her.

Then Symbol hit her Wizard Driver’s right Shift lever twice. [MAGIC TOUCHIC GO!] She scanned her right glove over her Wizard Driver’s Hand Author as the Drills on her left knuckles started to spin. [DRILL MAGIC PLEASE!] Symbol pulled back her left fist and slammed it into the ground. Out of which burst a wall of drills, blocking the lasers that the Wisp Phantom’s crows fired at Symbol.

As the lasers started to crack the drills, Symbol switched the Giga Ring for the Advance Ring and hit her Wizard Driver’s left Shift Lever. [TOUCH TO ADVANCE YOUR CLASS!] Symbol scanned her left glove over her Wizard Driver’s Hand Author Author and held it out in front of her. [ADVANCE PLEASE!] It moved back through her, just as the drills shattered, transforming Symbol into the Advance Style.

[ADVANCE C TIER SPELL!] The emitters released yellow magical energy particles that gathered around Symbol’s right fist as she pulled it back and punched forwards. Firing a fist thick beam that slammed into the purple beams. Power built up between the two beams before exploding.

[TOUCH TO ADVANCE YOUR CLASS!] Symbol scanned her left glove over her Wizard Driver’s Hand Author as the crows fired another wall of purple beams at her. [ADVANCE BLASTER PLEASE!] She thrust her left glove out in front of her as the blaster magic circle appeared. It deflected the beams as it moved back through the Kamen Rider.

Suddenly, the crows started to orbit Symbol. Knowing what they were doing, she hit her Wizard Driver’s left Shift Lever twice. [TOUCH TO ADVANCE YOUR CLASS!] Then she scanned her left glove over her Wizard Driver’s Hand Author as the crows fired their beams. [ADVANCE BLASTER PLEASE!] The emitters released purple magical energy that formed into a ring of purple spheres around Symbol. They shot outwards at high speed, smashing through the crows’ beams and into the crows themselves, making each of them explode.

Symbol glared at the Wisp Phantom. “Final!” she hit her Wizard Driver’s left Shift Lever four times. [TOUCH TO CAST THE NEXT LEVEL! VERY NICE!] Then she scanned her left glove across her Wizard Driver’s Hand Author as the emitters released purple magical energy particles. [ADVANCE BLASTER S TIER SPELL! THE BEST!] Symbol held out both of her gloves and the energy particles from her rectangle emitters gathered around her gloves while the particles from her shoulder emitters gathered around her and formed into three orbs of purple energy on either side of her. “Blaster Impact!” Symbol cupped her glove and thrust them forwards, firing a column sized beam of purple magical energy while the orbs each fired a single tin beam of purple energy. The main beam washed over the Wisp Phantom while the other six beams arched around and pierced through it. A powerful explosion ripped through the area.

Seeing that the portal was unlocked, Symbol switched the Advance and Blaster Rings for the Active Ring before hitting her Wizard Driver’s left Shift Lever. [MAGICAL TOUCH HENSHIN!] Then she scanned her left glove and the Active Ring across her Wizard Driver’s Hand Author. [ACTIVE PLEASE!] Symbol held her left glove out to the side as the active magic circle appeared and moved through her. [LET’S GO!]

Symbol ran through the portal and emerged on the other side. “I’m getting closer,” she saw the church was much closer as she hit her Wizard Driver’s left Shift Lever twice. [MAGICAL TOUCH GO!] Symbol scanned her left glove and the Active Ring over her Wizard Driver’s Hand Author as red lightning started to spark around both of her arms. [ACTIVE! B RANK SPELL!] Symbol threw her left glove forwards and fired a chain of lightning that pulled a rock over to her left. Then she threw her right glove forwards and was pulled up to a lock-on point and drop onto the island ledge.

She ran across a short bridge with a gap to the right side of it that had a see-through platform under it. 

Symbol drew the Active Rifle and pull on its thumb, opening its Hand Author. [COME ON A SHOOTING SHAKE HANDS!] Then she shook her left glove with the Active Rifle’s Hand Author. [ACTIVE! SHOOTING STRIKE!] Red lightning surged up the barrel and gathered at the tip of it before Symbol pulled the trigger, firing a single bolt of red lightning that turned the platform solid.

Symbol dropped down to the platform and then looked up at a lock-on point. She hit her Wizard Driver’s left Shift Lever once.

Then she ran up another flight of stairs and shot to another island through the next lock-on point.

Symbol dashed towards the gravestone but was unable to reach it before it snapped closed and a Wizard Phantom burst from the ground, summoning its shield.

“So close,” Symbol dodged a red spinning spear as she switched the Active Ring for the Swift Ring and hit her Wizard Driver’s left Shift Lever. [MAGICAL TOUCH HENSHIN!] Then she scanned her left glove over her Wizard Driver’s Hand Author. [SWIFT PLEASE!] Symbol held her left glove into the air as the swift magic circle appeared and fell through her. [DASH AWAY!] 

Suddenly, a line of rock spikes slammed into Symbol’s chestplate the second the transformation was finished. She was knocked off her boots with a cry of pain and sparks coming from her chestplate. “Bring it on!” she hit her Wizard Driver’s left Shift Lever once. [MAGICAL TOUCH GO!] Then she scanned her left glove over her Wizard Driver’s Hand Author. [SWIFT! C RANK SPELL!] Four orbs of yellow magical energy winked in around her and shot forwards, they slammed into the Wizard Phantom’s shield, putting several cracks in it.

The Wizard Phantom fired another spinning red spear at her, which Symbol dodged by flipping to the side. She added the Arrow and Zoomer Rings to her right glove before hitting her Wizard Driver’s right Shift Lever. [MAGIC TOUCHIE HENSHIN!] Then she scanned her right glove over her Wizard Driver’s Hand Author. [ARROW ZOOMER PLEASE!] Symbol held her right glove into the air and the two magic circles appeared before falling through her.

The Wizard Phantom fired another spinning red spear at Symbol, but she hit her Wizard Driver’s right Shift Lever twice. [MAGIC TOUCHIE GO!] Then she scanned her right glove over her Wizard Driver’s Hand Author as the spear crossed half the distance. [ZOOMER MAGIC PLEASE!] Symbol glowed red for a second before she vanished in a blur of speed. She started running around the Wizard Phantom, forming a red circle as she blasted its shield from all angles with the Speed Bow. Cracks spread through the Wizard Phantom’s barrier before it exploded, sending Symbol flying before she crashed into a rock.

Symbol got back up and hit her Wizard Driver’s left Shift Lever once. [MAGIC TOUCHIE GO!] Then she scanned her left glove over her Wizard Driver’s Hand Author. [ARROW MAGIC PLEASE!] Symbol took aim with the Speed Bow and pulled back on its arrow before letting go of it. This fired six arrowhead-shaped bolts of wind that shot through the air and slammed into the Wizard Phantoms. Sparks exploded from its body until the Phantom teleported away before the sixth blast could hit it.

Symbol turned to where the Wizard Phantom had reappeared and repaired its barrier. She switched the Arrow Ring for the Turbo Ring and hit her Wizard Driver’s right Shift Lever. [MAGIC TOUCHIE HENSHIN!] Then she scanned her right glove over her Wizard Driver’s Hand Author. [TURBO ZOOMER PLEASE!] Then she held her right glove into the air as the turbo magic circle appeared and fell through her.

Then Symbol hit her Wizard Driver’s right Shift Lever once as a red spinning spear appeared above the Wizard Phantom. [MAGIC TOUCHIE GO!] Symbol scanned her right glove over her Wizard Driver’s Hand Author. [TURBO MAGIC PLEASE!] Her body pulsed with brown energy as she shot forwards. Symbol sidestepped the spear and slammed her fist into the Wizard Phantom’s shield as it was covered in brown energy from the Turbo Gauntlets, the shield shattered like glass.

Symbol hit her Wizard Driver’s right Shift Lever twice as the Wizard Phantom started to gather mana. [MAGIC TOUCHIE GO!] The Zoomer Grieves glowed as Symbol scanned her right glove over her Wizard Driver’s Hand Author. [ZOOMER MAGIC PLEASE!] The Phantom fired a line of rocks at Symbol as she blurred out of the way and appeared off to the side.

“Let’s end this!” Symbol hit her Wizard Driver’s left Shift Lever four times. [MAGICAL TOUCH GO!

[ICE MAGIC PLEASE!] Symbol smashed the Frozen Bracer into the ground and a wall of ice burst out of it, blocking two of the Elite Blade Phantoms from slashing her.

The other three Elite Blade Phantom’s charged at Symbol from the front as she hit her Wizard Driver’s right Shift Lever twice. [MAGIC TOUCHIE GO!] Then she scanned her right glove over her Wizard Driver’s Hand Author. [DEFEND MAGIC PLEASE!] Frost gathered around the Frozen Bracer as Symbol slammed it into the ground. Ice spread out from it and formed into a dome around her that blocked the attacks of the three Elite Blade Phantoms as they swung their swords down.

Then Symbol pressed her Wizard Driver’s left Shift Lever four times. [MAGICAL TOUCH GO! VERY NICE!] She scanned her left glove and the Active Ring over her Wizard Driver’s Hand Author. [ACTIVE! S RANK SPELL! THE BEST!] Frost gathered around the Frozen Bracer and formed into an orb in Symbol’s glove. She hit the dome with the hilt of the Active Blade and opened a hole that she chucked the orb through. It landed at the feet of three Elite Blade Phantoms and exploded.

[ACTIVE! SLASH STRIKE!] Ice white magical energy covered the Active Blade’s sharp end as Symbol dashed forwards and broke through the ice dome. “Ice Slash!” she slashed all three of the Elite Blade Phantoms. Lightning crackled over their bodies before they all exploded.

[ACTIVE! SHOOTING STRIKE!] She took aim as a bind magic circle appeared in front of the Active Rifle’s barrel. “Bind Bolt!” Symbol pulled the trigger and fired a bolt of orange magical energy that hit one of the Elite Blade Phantom’s and expanded into several chains that bound the two of them together.

[MAGIC TOUCHIE HENSHIN!] Then she swiped her right glove over her Wizard Driver’s Hand Author. [SLASHER AQUA PLEASE!] Then she held her right glove out to the side as the two magic circles appeared and moved over her, transforming Symbol into the Active Slasher Aqua Style.

SLASH STRIKE!] A green claw grew out of each side of the Active Blade’s hilt while the main blade transformed into a third claw. “Slasher Slash!” Symbol dashed forwards and slashed through the first Elite Blade Phantom, cutting through its sword and then through the Phantom itself. Green lightning sparked over its body before it exploded.

Suddenly, the Kamen Rider jumped into the air, avoiding a line of fire from the final Elite Blade Phantom. While she was in the air, Symbol transformed the Active Blade back into the Active Rifle and pulled on its thumb. The gun’s Hand Author close and then opened again. [COME ON A SHOOTING SHAKE HANDS!] She shook her left glove and the Active Ring with the Active Rifle’s Hand Author. [ACTIVE! SHOOTING STRIKE!] The aqua magic circle appeared in front of the Active Rifle’s barrel as Symbol pulled the trigger. “Aqua Barrage!” three bolts of ocean blue water were fired from the Active Rifle’s barrel. They slammed into the Elite Blade Phantom and sparks went off from its body before the Phantom exploded into ashes.

Suddenly, a Wisp Phantom that was glowing red burst from the ground and flew into the air. She switched the Active Ring for the Advance Ring and hit her Wizard Driver’s left Shift Lever. [TOUCH TO ADVANCE YOUR CLASS!] She scanned her left glove over her Wizard Driver’s Hand Author then held it out in front of her. [ADVANCE PLEASE!] “Here we go,” the advance magic circle appeared in front of her and moved back through her, transforming Symbol into the Advance Style.

The Wisp Phantom flew at Symbol with its fist pulled back as she struck her Wizard Driver’s left Shift Lever three times. [TOUCH TO CAST THE NEXT LEVEL!] Then she scanned her left glove over her Wizard Driver’s Hand Author as the emitters started to release yellow magical energy. [ADVANCE A TIER SPELL!] Symbol crossed her arms, making the energy form into a circle-shaped shield in front of her. The Wisp Phantom’s fist slammed into the shield and she was sent skidding backwards, her boots digging trenches into the ground.

“Take this!” Symbol winced as she hit her Wizard Driver’s left Shift Lever twice. [TOUCH TO CAST THE NEXT LEVEL!] She scanned her left glove over her Wizard Driver’s Hand Author. [ADVANCE B TIER SPELL!] The energy from the emitters gathered around Symbol’s right elbow as she shot forwards and slammed her elbow into the Wisp Phantom’s face. It did not move.

“Shit,” muttered Symbol as the Wisp Phantom threw her and slammed its fist into her chestplate. Sparks exploded from the impact point as Symbol struggled back to her boots. She saw the Wisp Phantom drift back and then charge at her. “Now’s my chance!” Symbol hit her Wizard Driver’s left Shift Lever four times. [TOUCH TO CAST THE NEXT LEVEL! VERY NICE!] Then she scanned her left glove over her Wizard Driver’s Hand Author as the emitters jettisoned a storm of yellow magical energy. [ADVANCE S TIER SPELL! THE BEST!] The energy wrapped around Syymbol’s left boot as she jumped into the air. “Advance Impact!” she spun, delivering four fast and powerful spinning kicks to the Wisp Phantom in quick succession. Sparks exploded from the impact points as the Wisp Phantom flew back, skipping along the ground like a stone over a pond.

Symbol quickly moved the Advance Ring to her left index finger, then she added the Breaker Ring to her left ring finger and hit her Wizard Driver’s left Shift Lever. [TOUCH TO ADVANCE YOUR CLASS!] Then she scanned her left glove over her Wizard Driver’s Hand Author. [ADVANCE BREAKER PLEASE!] Seeing the Wisp Phantom get up and charge, Symbol held her left glove out in front of her and the breaker magic circle appeared. It deflected the Wisp Phantom before it moved back and passed through the Kamen Rider.

She hit her Wizard Driver’s left Shift Lever twice as the Wisp Phantom charged. [TOUCH TO CAST THE NEXT LEVEL!] Symbol scanned her left glove over her Wizard Driver’s Hand Author. [ADVANCE BREAKER B TIER SPELL!] The emitters emitted red magical energy that gathered around Symbol’s right glove as she clenched it into a fist. Symbol ducked under a right hook and slammed her right fist into the Wisp Phantom’s chin. The uppercut sent the Phantom shooting into the air with sparks exploding out of its body from the force behind the blow.

Symbol used her fists momentum to get into the air after the Wisp Phantom. She got above it as the Phantom started to fall back to the ground.

Symbol pressed her Wizard Driver’s left Shift Lever. [TOUCH TO CAST THE NEXT LEVEL!] She ducked under another punch and scanned her left glove over her Wizard Driver’s Hand Author as the emitters released red magical energy. [ADVANCE BREAKER A TIER SPELL!] It gathered around Symbol’s right fist as she jumped slightly, avoiding a kick from the Wisp Phantom as she threw a downwards punch that slammed the Phantom’s head into the ground with enough force to form a crater.

The Wisp Phantom got back up and threw a jumping kick that nailed Symbol in the chestplate. “Bring it on!” Symbol hit her Wizard Driver’s left Shift Lever once. [TOUCH TO CAST THE NEXT LEVEL!] She rolled under a flying kick and as she came up she scanned her left glove over her Wizard Driver’s Hand Author, the emitters started to release red magical energy. [ADVANCE BREAKER C TIER SPELL!] Symbol let the magical energy gather around her left glove as she clenched it into a fist and ran forwards, punching the Wisp Phantom in the cheek just as it turned around. The Phantom was sent flying and smashed into a wall.

The Wisp Phantom recovered and got up in Symbol’s faceplate, throwing an uppercut that sent her shooting into the air. With a growl, Symbol hit her Wizard Driver’s left Shift Lever three times. [TOUCH TO CAST THE NEXT LEVEL!] Symbol scanned her left glove over her Wizard Driver’s Hand Author. The emitters emitted red magical energy as the Wisp Phantom jumped up towards her. [ADVANCE BREAKER A TIER SPELL!] Symbol shot down with her arm trailing red power. She twisted to the side, avoiding the Wisp Phantom’s fist as she slammed her own fist into its face and catapulted the Phantom down and into the ground.

“He must be getting tired of that,” muttered Symbol as she flipped over and landed on her boots. The Wisp Phantom exploded out of the ground with a livid roar. “I was right,” commented Symbol as she leaned to the side, avoiding a punch. She leaned to the right, dodging another fist. Symbol then leaned back as a third punch sailed over her helmet. “Enough is enough,” she snapped her right boot up and kicked the Phantom in the face, sending it flying into the air with sparks coming from the impact point. “Final,” Symbol hit her Wizard Driver’s left Shift Lever four times. [TOUCH TO CAST THE NEXT LEVEL! VERY NICE!] Then she scanned her left glove over her Wizard Driver’s Hand Author as the emitters launched a storm of red and yellow magical energy. [ADVANCE BREAKER S TIER SPELL! THE BEST!] The energy gathered around Symbol’s right fist as she jumped forwards and slammed it into the Phantom’s face. Cracks spread through the Phantom as it was sent flying backwards and exploded.

Symbol switched the Advance and Breaker Rings for the Active Ring and hit her Wizard Driver’s left Shift Lever. [MAGICAL TOUCH HENSHIN!] Then she scanned her left glove and the Active Ring over her Wizard Driver’s Hand Author. [ACTIVE PLEASE!] Symbol held her left glove out to the side as the active magic circle appeared and moved through her. [LET’S GO!]

As the gravestone opened again, Symbol looked at it for several seconds before walking down the steps and into the secret passage that the gravestone had been hiding. For several minutes she ran along the passage that was lit by torches that glowed with dark blue fire. “Somehow, that light just makes this place more creepy,” muttered Symbol as the passage tilted downwards.

Now she could hear Eva’s screams.

“Mom!” Symbol broke into a sprint. She quickly arrived in the charge and ran up and isle that had several statues of Phantom’s on either side of it. 

What Symbol saw, made her sight go red with rage.

Eva was wearing a white dress and had just been sent flying by the four-armed Phantom that Symbol had named the Imprisoner Phantom.

Its mouth opened and it roared at Eva.

Eva screamed.

“Hey you!” shouted Symbol.

The Imprisoner Phantom turned towards her.

“Leave her alone!” roared Symbol.

The Imprisoner Phantom roared at Symbol as it flared its power.

Symbol took a step back in shock at the amount of power this Phantom had. ‘I’ll need to use the Advance Style for as long as I can!’ thought Symbol.

Then the Imprisoner Phantom charged.
> Interlude 5
> --------------------------------------------------------------------------

Symbol was not expecting a creature that big to be so fast and was trampled by it. “Gah! That hurt!” she got back up and pressed her Wizard Driver’s left Shift Lever once. [MAGICAL TOUCH GO!] Then she scanned her left glove and the Active Ring over her Wizard Driver’s Hand Author. [ACTIVE! C RANK SPELL!] Symbol covered her right glove in red lightning had jumped at the Imprisoner Phantom. She aimed a palm strike at its head, only to be batted out of the air and slammed into a wall.

“Advance Style it is!” Symbol switched the Active Ring for the Advance Ring and hit her Wizard Driver’s left Shift Lever. [TOUCH TO ADVANCE YOUR CLASS!] Then she scanned her left glove over her Wizard Driver’s Hand Author and held it out in front of her. [ADVANCE PLEASE!] The advance magic circle appeared in front of Symbol and moved back through her, transforming the Kamen Rider into the Advance Style.

The Imprisoner Phantom roared as it charged at Symbol. She slammed her left glove down on her Wizard Driver’s Hand Author before wincing. [TOUCH TO CAST THE NEXT LEVEL!] Shaking it off, Symbol scanned her left glove over her Wizard Driver’s Hand Author as the emitters started to make yellow magical energy. [ADVANCE C TIER SPELL!] She held her left glove into the air and clenched it into a fist as the yellow magical energy gathered into it. Then Symbol punched forwards, firing a beam of yellow magical energy that slammed into the Imprisoner Phantom, slowing its charge.

Symbol cut off the beam suddenly and the Imprisoner Phantom jerked forwards. The Kamen Rider dove to the side as the Phantom charged past her and smashed into a wall. “That would be funny, if I was not fighting for my life,” Symbol moved the Advance Ring onto her left index finger and added the Breaker Ring to her left ring finger. Then she hit her Wizard Driver’s left Shift Lever. [TOUCH TO ADVANCE YOUR CLASS!] Symbol scanned her left glove across her Wizard Driver’s Hand Author and held it out in front of her. [ADVANCE BREAKER PLEASE!] The breaker magic circle appeared and moved back through the Kamen Rider, transforming her into the Advance Breaker Style.

She darted forward as the Imprisoner Phantom recovered and threw two left jabs at her. Symbol hit her Wizard Driver’s left Shift Lever once. [TOUCH TO CAST THE NEXT LEVEL!] Then she scanned her left glove over her Wizard Driver’s Hand Author as the emitters started to create red magical energy. [ADVANCE BREAKER C TIER SPELL!] The energy gathered around her left fist as she ducked under both of the Imprisoner Phantom’s jabs and punched it in the face.

The Phantom staggered back before spinning around and giving Symbol a double backhand that sent her flying backwards through the air. Symbol twisted in the air and landed on the ground as she hit switched the Breaker Ring for the Blaster Ring and hit her Wizard Driver’s left Shift Lever. [TOUCH TO ADVANCE YOUR CLASS!] Then she scanned her left glove over her Wizard Driver’s Hand Author as the Imprisoner Phantom charged. [ADVANCE BLASTER PLEASE!] She held out her left glove and then rolled to the side, letting the Imprisoner Phantom charge past her as she transformed into the Advance Blaster Style.

She crouched on one knee guard as she hit her Wizard Driver’s left Shift Lever once. [TOUCH TO CAST THE NEXT LEVEL!] Symbol scanned her left glove over her Wizard Driver’s Hand Author as the emitters on her body jetted out purple magical energy. [ADVANCE BLASTER C TIER SPELL!] The energy gathered around her and formed into six purple spheres that shot at the Phantom, they slammed into its body and detonated violently.

The Imprisoner Phantom burst out of the smoke and slammed Symbol into the ground before throwing her into the air. It pulled back all four fists, aiming to punch her with them as she fell back towards her ground. 

While she was in the air, Symbol switched the Blaster Ring for the Bounder Ring and pressed her Wizard Driver’s left Shift Lever. [TOUCH TO ADVANCE YOUR CLASS!] Then she twisted in the air, scanned her left glove over her Wizard Driver’s Hand Author and held it out in front of her. [ADVANCE BOUNDER PLEASE!] The bounder magic circle appeared under Symbol and she fell through it, transforming into her Advance Bounder Style. 

Before the Imprisoner Phantom could hit her, Symbol vanished in a green blur as she hit her Wizard Driver’s left Shift Lever three times. [TOUCH TO CAST THE NEXT LEVEL!] Then she scanned her left glove over her Wizard Driver’s Hand Author as the emitters started to release green magical energy. [ADVANCE BOUNDER A TIER SPELL!] It gathered around Symbol as she streaked towards the Imprisoner Phantom and slammed her right shoulder guard into its side. Her speed was transformed into weight as the Phantom was sent flying away.

The Imprisoner Phantom landed back on the ground and slammed its two left arms into the ground before ripping them up through it, sending a line of rocks at Symbol. “Not a chance!” Symbol switched the Bounder Ring for the Blocker Ring and hit her Wizard Driver’s left Shift Lever. [TOUCH TO ADVANCE YOUR CLASS!] Then she scanned her left glove over her Wizard Driver’s Hand Author and held it out in front of her. [ADVANCE BLOCKER PLEASE!] The blocker magic circle appeared and moved back through Symbol, transforming her into the Advance Blocker Style.

Symbol quickly struck her Wizard Driver’s left Shift Lever once. [TOUCH TO CAST THE NEXT LEVEL!] Then she scanned her left glove over her Wizard Driver’s Hand Author as the rock line surged towards her. [ADVANCE BLOCKER C TIER SPELL!] The emitters released blue magical energy that formed into a square-shaped shield in front of her, blocking the rock line. The attack strained to break through the defence, making the shield explode, destroying the rock line.

Suddenly, the Imprisoner surged through the smoke and pulled back its right two fists, punching at Symbol. She crossed her arms and blocked the attack with her forearm guards before hitting her Wizard Driver’s left Shift Lever twice as the Imprisoner Phantom pressed its assault. [TOUCH TO CAST THE NEXT LEVEL!] Just before the Imprisoner Phantom could punch her, Symbol scanned her left glove across her Wizard Driver’s Hand Author. [ADVANCE BLOCKER B TIER SPELL!] She held up her left glove and the emitters jettisoned blue magical energy that formed into a circle shaped barrier in front of her. The Phantom’s two fists struck the barrier and it surged forwards, forcing the Imprisoner Phantom to back off.

“Now’s my chance!” Symbol switched the Blocker Ring for the Blaster Ring and hit her Wizard Driver’s left Shift Lever. [TOUCH TO CAST THE NEXT LEVEL!] She scanned her left glove over her Wizard Driver’s Hand Author and thrust it out in front of her. [ADVANCE BLASTER PLEASE!] The blaster magic circle appeared in front of Symbol and moved back through her, transforming her into the Advance Blaster Style.

Symbol jumped into the air, getting above the Imprisoner Phantom as she hit her Wizard Driver’s left Shift Lever twice. [TOUCH TO CAST THE NEXT LEVEL!] Then she scanned her left glove over her Wizard Driver’s Hand Author as the emitters started to release purple magical energy. [ADVANCE BLASTER B TIER SPELL!] The energy formed into a ring of purple spheres around Symbol that shot downwards and slammed into the Phantom as bolts of purple magical energy. The Imprisoner Phantom roared in pain as sparks exploded from the impact zones.

Suddenly, it jumped into the air and hit Symbol with a pair of double hammer blows. “Argh!” she was sent flying down to the ground as a streak, she slammed into the floor with enough force to put a crater in it and then the Imprisoner Phantom came down and slammed its fists into Symbol, driving her further into the ground, painfully. She opened her visor and saw the Phantom pulled back its fists once more. “No, you don’t!” Symbol hit her Wizard Driver’s left Shift Lever twice. [TOUCH TO CAST THE NEXT LEVEL!] Then she scanned her left glove over her Wizard Driver’s Hand Author as the emitters started to release purple magical energy. [ADVANCE BLASTER B TIER SPELL!] The energy formed into a circle of purple spheres around Symbol that blasted outwards. They slammed into the Phantom and forced it to stagger backwards.

“Now!” Symbol hit her Wizard Driver’s left Shift Lever three times. [TOUCH TO CAST THE NEXT LEVEL!] Then she scanned her left glove across her Wizard Driver’s Hand Author as the emitters released purple magical energy. [ADVANCE BLASTER A TIER SPELL!] It spiralled inwards around Symbol’s gloves as she thrust them forwards, firing the energy forwards in a beam that was about a half a metre thick. It slammed into the Phantom and drove it back into a wall from the amount of force behind it.

“Time to get up close and personal!” Symbol switched the Blaster Ring for the Breaker Ring and hit her Wizard Driver’s left Shift Lever. [TOUCH TO ADVANCE YOUR CLASS!] Then she scanned her left glove over her Wizard Driver’s Hand Author as the Phantom started to recover. [ADVANCE BREAKER 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 Breaker Style.

The Imprisoner Phantom roared as it charged at Symbol and tried to punch her. Symbol jumped into the air as she hit her Wizard Driver’s left Shift Lever three times. [TOUCH TO CAST THE NEXT LEVEL!] Then she scanned her left glove over her Wizard Driver’s Hand Author as the emitters on her body released red magical energy. [ADVANCE BREAKER A TIER SPELL!] The energy gathered around her right fist as Symbol punched down, slammed the Phantom’s head into the ground with enough force to create a creator.

Symbol landed back on the ground and hit her Wizard Driver’s left Shift Lever twice as the Imprisoner Phantom started to get back up. [TOUCH TO CAST THE NEXT LEVEL!] She held her left glove over her Wizard Driver’s Hand Author as the emitters released red magical energy. [ADVANCE BREAKER B TIER SPELL!] It gathered around her right glove as she curled it into a fist and threw an uppercut that lifted the Phantom’s head off the ground and caused it to roar in pain.

While the Phantom was dazed, Symbol hit her Wizard Driver’s left Shift Lever once. [TOUCH TO CAST THE NEXT LEVEL!] Then she scanned her left glove over her Wizard Driver’s Hand Author as the Imprisoner Phantom began to recover. [ADVANCE BREAKER C TIER SPELL!] Red magical energy gathered around Symbol’s right glove as she curled it into a fist and punched the Phantom with a straight. It was sent flying backwards and smashed into a wall with enough force to put a hole into it.

The Imprisoner Phantom gave a loud bellowing roar as it charged out of the hole and raced towards Symbol. She pressed her Wizard Driver’s left Shift Lever four times. [TOUCH TO CAST THE NEXT LEVEL! VERY NICE!] Then she scanned her left glove over her Wizard Driver’s Hand Author as the emitters released a storm of red and yellow magical energy. [ADVANCE BREAKER S TIER SPELL! THE BEST!] Symbol thrust her left glove into the air with all five fingers splayed out before turning it into a fist as the energy gathered around it. She swung her arm out to the side and pulled her fist back. “Breaker Impact!” roared Symbol as she punched forwards, slamming her charged fist into the Phantom and sending it flying backwards. Sparks exploded from the Imprisoner Phantom’s head as it smashed into the wall once more.

“This isn’t too hard,” muttered Symbol. Suddenly the Imprisoner Phantom exploded out of the wall and charged at her. “Spoke to soon,” She hit her Wizard Driver’s left Shift Lever once. [TOUCH TO CAST THE NEXT LEVEL!] Then she scanned her left glove over her Wizard Driver’s Hand Author. [ADVANCE BREAKER C TIER SPELL!] Then she covered red left glove in red magical energy as she threw a jab at the Imprisoner Phantom. It met her fist with one of its own and punched her with the other three before Symbol had any time to react.

“Argh!” she was sent flying backwards and skipped over the ground before the Imprisoner Phantom grabbed her and slammed Symbol into the ground several times. It wiped her around and threw Symbol through the air. She recovered and jumped off the wall, hitting her Wizard Driver’s left Shift Lever three times. [TOUCH TO CAST THE NEXT LEVEL!] Then she scanned her left glove across her Wizard Driver’s Hand Author as the emitters made red magical energy. [ADVANCE BREAKER A TIER SPELL!] It gathered around Symbol’s fist as she jumped off the roof and shot down towards the Phantom. “Ha!” Symbol threw her fist downwards which the Imprisoner Phantom blocked by crossing two of its arms over its face. The impact blew displaced the air and Symbol tried to jump back only to be swatted out of the air by a backhand from the Imprisoner Phantom.

“Owie!” grunted Symbol as she pulled herself out of the floor and hit her Wizard Driver’s left Shift Lever twice. [TOUCH TO CAST THE NEXT LEVEL!] Then she scanned her left glove over her Wizard Driver’s Hand Author as the emitters ejected red magical energy. [ADVANCE BREAKER B TIER SPELL!] It gathered around Symbol’s fist as she sprinted forwards. She ducked under a double hammerblow and got under the Imprisoner Phantom’s chest. “Take this!” Symbol jumped into the air and slammed her fist into the Phantom’s chest. Several sparks came from the impact zone, but not anywhere near as much as Symbol would expect.

The Imprisoner Phantom did not move.

Symbol’s visor went wide. “No way! That was a direct hit!” she was suddenly, backhanded by the Imprisoner Phantom and set flying through the air with sparks coming from her chestplate. Symbol righted herself and hit her Wizard Driver’s left Shift Lever three times. [TOUCH TO CAST THE NEXT LEVEL!] She scanned her left glove over her Wizard Driver’s Hand Author as the emitters started to emit red magical energy. [ADVANCE BREAKER A TIER SPELL!] It gathered around Symbol’s left fist as the Imprisoner Phantom charged. Symbol held her left fist out to the side, then she pulled it up and punched the ground. A large cloud of dust spread out from the impact zone. The Imprisoner Phantom charged into it and dispelled the cloud with a swipe of its arms.

Symbol was nowhere to be found.

Meanwhile, in the air Symbol hit her Wizard Driver’s left Shift Lever three times. [TOUCH TO CAST THE NEXT LEVEL!] Then she scanned her left glove over her Wizard Driver’s Hand Author as the emitters emitted red magical energy. [ADVANCE BREAKER A TIER SPELL!] It gathered around her right fist as Symbol went shooting down and thrust it towards the Phantom’s back. The impact kicked up a dust cloud, blocking the two of them from sight.

When it cleared, it was revealed that the Imprisoner Phantom had blocked Symbol’s attack by crossing all four of its fists. “Oh you have got to be kidding me!” shouted Symbol as she managed to jump away from the Phantom. Only for it to charge all four of its fists with red energy, dash up to her and punch Symbol with all four fists, sending her flying with sparks exploding out of the impact points. Micro explosions went off around her as she hit the ground hard and slid along it before slowing to a stop.

“That hurt,” muttered Symbol as she weakly got back to her boots and saw the Imprisoner Phantom charging at her. Symbol switched the Breaker Ring for the Bounder Ring and hit her Wizard Driver’s left Shift Lever once. [TOUCH TO ADVANCE YOUR CLASS!] Symbol scanned her left glove over her Wizard Driver’s Hand Author then she held it out in front of her. [ADVANCE BLASTER PLEASE!] The blaster magic circle appeared and moved back through her, transforming Symbol into the Advance Blaster Style.

Symbol hit her Wizard Driver’s left Shift Lever once. [TOUCH TO CAST THE NEXT LEVEL!] Then she scanned her left glove over her Wizard Driver’s Hand Author as the emitters started to make purple magical energy. [ADVANCE BLASTER C TIER SPELL!] The energy collected into six spheres of purple magical energy. “Go!” Symbol punched forwards and the spheres shot forwards slamming into the Phantom and exploding violently. The Phantom roared in pain as sparks came from the impact points.

Fighting through the pain, the Imprisoner Phantom continued its charge and Symbol struck her Wizard Driver’s left Shift Lever three times. [TOUCH TO CAST THE NEXT LEVEL!] Then she scanned her left glove over her Wizard Driver’s Hand Author as purple magical energy streamed from the emitters on her body. [ADVANCE BLASTER A TIER SPELL!] Symbol pulled her half cupped gloves back as the magical energy spiralled inwards around them. Symbol threw her gloves forwards and fired a beam from them that slammed into the Imprisoner Phantom, driving it backwards.

Symbol hit her Wizard Driver’s left Shift Lever twice. [TOUCH TO CAST THE NEXT LEVEL!] Before she scanned her left glove over her Wizard Driver’s Hand Author and the emitters ejected purple magical energy. [ADVANCE BLASTER B TIER SPELL!] It formed into a ring of purple energy spheres around Symbol as she thrust her arms out. “Now!” the spheres shot outwards, with the ones behind her arching around as they slammed into the Imprisoner Phantom making sparks come off the impact points.

The Imprisoner Phantom got up and roared at Symbol as she pressed her Wizard Driver’s left Shift Lever once. [TOUCH TO CAST THE NEXT LEVEL!] Symbol scanned her left glove over her Wizard Driver’s Hand Author as the emitters started to charge once more. [ADVANCE BLASTER C TIER SPELL!] Six orbs of purple magical energy winked in around Symbol as she thrust her left glove forwards. “Go!” the orbs zoomed forwards and slammed into the Phantom, exploding violently and making sparks bleed off it.

“How tough is this thing?!” shouted Symbol as she struck her Wizard Driver’s left Shift Lever twice. [TOUCH TO CAST THE NEXT LEVEL!] Then she scanned her left glove over her Wizard Driver’s Hand Author as the emitters started to eject purple magical energy. [ADVANCE BLASTER B TIER SPELL!] Symbol threw both of her gloves forwards as the ring of purple energy spheres appeared and shot at the Imprisoner Phantom. The spheres circled around the Phantom and then slammed inwards. They detonated and made more sparks explode off the Phantom’s hide.

“Now’s my chance!” as the Imprisoner Phantom roared in pain, Symbol struck her Wizard Driver’s left Shift Lever four times. [TOUCH TO CAST THE NEXT LEVEL! VERY NICE!] Then she aligned her left glove with her Wizard Driver’s Hand Author as the Imprisoner Phantom charged. [ADVANCE BLASTER S TIER SPELL! THE BEST!] The emitters released a storm of purple magical energy that gathered in front of Symbol as a massive orb while nine smaller spheres winked in around it. Symbol placed her left glove on the large sphere and pulled back her right fist. “Blaster Impact!” Symbol punched the orb and it collapsed into a large beam of purple magical energy that roared forwards with the smaller spheres each firing a thin purple beam that raced alongside the large beam. The giant beam washed over the Imprisoner Phantom, halting its charge as the other beams took a right turn inwards and cut through the Imprisoner Phantom, making a large explosion echoed throughout the space.

“That should do it,” muttered Symbol as the beams tapered off.

Only for her to see the Imprisoner Phantom still standing.

Now it was glowing purple.

“Oh come on!” shouted Symbol. “What does it take to kill you?!” she roared in anger as the Phantom.

It did not answer.

“Why did I think I was going to get an answer?” Symbol questioned herself.

The Imprisoner Phantom roared as it slammed all four of its arms into the ground.

“What are you doing?” asked Symbol in confusion.

The Imprisoner Phantom pulled its arms out of the ground, with them came a giant rock that was twice its size.

“Woah!” Symbol took a step back.

The Imprisoner Phantom threw the rock at her.

“Shit!” blaming Dante for the swear that slipped out of her mouth guard, Symbol hit her Wizard Driver’s left Shift Lever three times. [TOUCH TO CAST THE NEXT LEVEL!] Then she scanned her left glove over her Wizard Driver’s Hand Author as the emitters started to generate purple magical energy. [ADVANCE BLASTER A TIER SPELL!] Symbol pulled back both of her gloves as the energy spiralled in around them. Then she thrust both of her gloves forwards, firing a column sized beam of purple magical energy that roared through the air and slammed into the rock, obliterating it.

Symbol turned back to the Imprisoner Phantom.

Just in time to get four fists to her body. Symbol shouted in pain as she was sent flying backwards with sparks coming off the impact points. She flew back and slammed into the church’s wall before getting back up and pressing her Wizard Driver’s left Shift Lever once. [TOUCH TO CAST THE NEXT LEVEL!] She scanned her left glove over her Wizard Driver’s Hand Author as the emitters generated more purple magical energy. [ADVANCE BLASTER C TIER SPELL!] Symbol punched forwards. “Go!” six spheres winked in around her and shot towards the Imprisoner Phantom. Only for it to lash out and punch all six of them out of the air, making them explode into sparks of purple magic energy.

The Imprisoner Phantom drove its hands into the ground and pulled up another rock, this one was humming with power as it glowed with purple magical energy. “Oh shit!” Symbol hit her Wizard Driver’s left Shift Lever four times. [TOUCH TO CAST THE NEXT LEVEL! VERY NICE!] Them she swiped her left glove over her Wizard Driver’s Hand Author as the emitters released a storm of purple magical energy. [ADVANCE BLASTER S TIER SPELL! THE BEST!] The energy formed into a large sphere in front of Symbol as nine purple energy orbs winked in around it. Symbol placed her left glove on the orb as she pulled back her right glove and turned it into a fist.

The Imprisoner Phantom threw the rock. 

Symbol punched the orb and it transformed into a column sized beam that was surrounded by nine smaller beams. They slammed into the rock and sparked splayed in all directions as the large beam pressed back against the rock while the smaller beams tried to cut through it. But to Symbol’s shock the rock ploughed straight through the beams and slammed into her, sending the Kamen Rider flying. Then the rock exploded, pelting Symbol with sharp shards of rock.

Symbol landed on the ground with her body smoking in several places. “That hurt even more,” muttered Symbol as she forced herself back to her boots. She switched the Blaster Ring for the Bounder Ring and hit her Wizard Driver’s left Shift Lever. [TOUCH TO ADVANCE YOUR CLASS!] She swiped her left glove over her Wizard Driver’s Hand Author then held her left glove out in front of her. [ADVANCE BOUNDER PLEASE!] The bounder magic circle appeared in front of her and moved back through her, transforming Symbol into the Advance Bounder Style.

The Imprisoner Phantom picked up another rock and threw it at Symbol. Only for her to vanish in a blur of speed. In the accelerated space, Symbol pressed her Wizard Driver’s left Shift Lever twice. [TOUCH TO CAST THE NEXT LEVEL!] Then she scanned her left glove over her Wizard Driver’s Hand Author as she raced towards the Imprisoner Phantom. [ADVANCE BOUNDER B TIER SPELL!] The emitters generated green magical energy that gathered around Symbol’s right boot. She launched herself into a flying kick and slammed her boot into the Imprisoner Phantom’s face, making it stumble.

The Imprisoner Phantom swatted at Symbol, but she had already dashed halfway across the room, pressing her Wizard Driver’s left Shift Lever once in the process. [TOUCH TO CAST THE NEXT LEVEL!] She scanned her left glove over her Wizard Driver’s Hand Author as the emitters generated more green magical energy. [ADVANCE BOUNDER C TIER SPELL!] The energy gathered around her left glove as Symbol shot forwards and slammed her left glove into the Phantom’s face faster than it could react. Sparks exploded from the impact point.

Suddenly, Symbol got a good idea.

She stopped in front of the Phantom. “Stop hitting yourself,” then she dodged away as the Imprisoner Phantom swung at her, ending up smacking itself in the face.

Symbol appeared to the Imprisoner Phantom’s left. “Stopping hitting yourself!” she ducked and the Phantom punched itself once more.

She dashed around to the other side of the Phantom. “Stopping hitting yourself,” the Imprisoner Phantom punched itself a third time.

After it had recovered the Phantom looked around in rage, when it found no sign of its target, the Phantom was about to go back to attacking Eva.

Who was laughing

Something was wrong.

Then Symbol appeared in the Phantom’s vision.

Upside down.

She had been sitting on its head?!

“Stop hitting yourself!” shouted Symbol. She jumped away as the Imprisoner Phantom hit itself with all four of its arms.

“This is funny,” Symbol pressed her Wizard Driver’s left Shift Lever three times. [TOUCH TO CAST THE NEXT LEVEL!] Then she scanned her left glove over her Wizard Driver’s Hand Author as the emitters produce green magical energy. [ADVANCE BOUNDER A TIER SPELL!] It gathered around her shoulders as Symbol dashed forwards and slammed her right shoulder guard into the Imprisoner Phantom’s gut. On impact, the speed was transformed into weight and the Phantom was sent flying back with sparks exploding from the impact point.

Symbol saw her opening and hit her Wizard Driver’s left Shift Lever four times. [TOUCH TO CAST THE NEXT LEVEL! VERY NICE!] Then she scanned her left glove over her Wizard Driver’s Hand Author as the emitters jetted out green and yellow magical energy. [ADVANCE BOUNDER S TIER SPELL! THE BEST!] It gathered around her right boot as Symbol took up and runner stance and dashed forwards. She was going fast enough to displace the air around her as she launched into a flying kick. “Bounder Impact!” roared Symbol as her boot impacted the Phantom’s gut. A stream of yellow and green magical energy was fired out of the Phantom’s back. Sparks bleed from the entrance and exit points as the Phantom fell to the ground.

Symbol turned around and started to walk away, thinking the Imprisoner Phantom was dead when she was struck from behind.

Then from the front by a green blur.

A punch from the left sent Symbol flying into the air.

The blur jumped and impacted her, sending the Kamen Rider shooting back into the ground.

Symbol got up, painfully and saw that her attacker was the glowing green Imprisoner Phantom.

“You are so going to get it!” snarled Symbol as she charged at the Phantom, becoming a green blur.

The Imprisoner Phantom charged back and the two blurs clashed for several seconds.

But to the Kamen Rider and Phantom it was several minutes.

Suddenly, one of the blurs was sent flying and crashed into the wall, revealing it to be Symbol.

Symbol switched the Bounder Ring for the Blocker Ring as she was hit again. She struck her Wizard Driver’s left Shift Lever. [TOUCH TO ADVANCE YOUR CLASS!] The Imprisoner Phantom hit Symbol again, making her role along the ground as she scanned her left glove over her Wizard Driver’s Hand Author. [ADVANCE BLOCKER PLEASE!] Symbol held her left glove out in front of her as the blocker magic circle appeared and moved back through her, transforming her into the Advance Blocker Style.

The Imprisoner Phantomer charged at Symbol as she struck her Wizard Driver’s left Shift Lever. [TOUCH TO CAST THE NEXT LEVEL!] She scanned her left glove over her Wizard Driver’s Hand Author and then held it out in front of her. [ADVANCE BLOCKER C TIER SPELL!] A square shaped shield of blue magical energy appeared in front of Symbol and the Imprisoner Phantom slammed into it. Symbol grunted as she held up both her gloves, forcing the shield to stay together. With a roar she made it explode, sending the Phantom flying backwards with sparks exploding off its body.

The Imprisoner Phantom recovered and charged at Symbol as she hit her Wizard Driver’s left Shift Lever three times. [TOUCH TO CAST THE NEXT LEVEL!] Symbol scanned her left glove over her Wizard Driver’s Hand Author as the Imprisoner Phantom streaked around behind her. [ADVANCE BLOCKER A TIER SPELL!] Blue magical energy covered Symbol’s body and blocked the Phantom’s punch, stopping it cold as Symbol spun around and kicked the Phantom in the gut.

Then she punched it in the face.

Symbol ducked under a punch and slammed her fist into the Phantoms gut.

The Phantom punched her in the helmet, only for the shield to hold as Symbol belted it across the face.

The Imprisoner Phantom made to back off, but Symbol grabbed it and elbowed it in the back forcing the Phantom to its knees.

Then she kicked it in the face.

Symbol spun around and kicked the Phantom once more, this time hitting it with her heel and making it stumble.

The Kamen Rider jumped into the air as Symbol came down with a punch and sent it back into the ground.

Symbol grabbed the Imprisoner Phantom’s head and headbutted it.

Then she pulled its head down and gave it a knee strike to the face.

Symbol smashed the Phantom’s head between both of her gloves.

Then she jumped into the air and gave it a drop kick to the face.

Symbol ending the combo with a twin punch to the Phantom’s gut.

Before giving it a jumping kick that made it stumble backwards.

Then Symbol dispelled her aura shield, letting out a pulse of blue magical energy that sent the Phantom flying backwards with sparks exploding from its body. She hit her Wizard Driver’s left Shift Lever four times. [TOUCH TO CAST THE NEXT LEVEL! VERY NICE!] Then Symbol scanned her left glove over her Wizard Driver’s Hand Author. [ADVANCE BLOCKER S TIER SPELL! THE BEST!] Symbol’s emitters released a storm of blue and yellow magical energy that gathered around the Imprisoner Phantom. Symbol held out both of her gloves. “Containment Cube!” the magical energy formed into a cube around the Imprisoner Phantom, keeping it trapped.

Symbol switched the Blocker Ring for the Breaker Ring and hit her Wizard Driver’s left Shift Lever once. [TOUCH TO ADVANCE YOUR CLASS!] Then Symbol scanned her left glove over her Wizard Driver’s Hand Author before holding it out in front of her. [ADVANCE BREAKER PLEASE!] The breaker magic circle appeared and moved back through her, transforming Symbol into the Advance Breaker Style.

Then Symbol hit her Wizard Driver’s left Shift Lever four times. [TOUCH TO CAST THE NEXT LEVEL! VERY NICE!] The emitters on her body blasted out red magical energy after she had scanned her left glove over her Wizard Driver’s Hand Author. [ADVANCE BREAKER S TIER SPELL! THE BEST!] The energy gathered around Symbol’s right glove after she thrust into the air and curled it into a fist. Symbol swung her fist back as she dashed forwards and slammed it into the Containment Cube. “Detonate!” the red magical energy mixed with the yellow and blue energy before the cube exploded.

“That had to be it,” panted Symbol.

Suddenly, the Imprisoner Phantom emerged, glowing red as it charged at Symbol.

“Oh you cannot be serious!” shouted Symbol as she hit her Wizard Driver’s left Shift Lever twice. [TOUCH TO CAST THE NEXT LEVEL!] Then she scanned her left glove over her Wizard Driver’s Hand Author. [ADVANCE BREAKER B TIER SPELL!] Symbol’s emitters ejected red magical energy that gathered around Symbol’s right fist as she pulled it back. Symbol ducked under a pair of fists, only to be hit by third fist that stopped her attack and sent her stumbling into the Imprisoner Phantom’s fourth fist.

Sparks explode from Symbol’s faceplate as she stumbled back before a pair of glowing red fists smashed into her chestplate and sent her flying into the church’s wall.

“That was painful!” Symbol switched the Breaker Ring for the Bounder Ring and pressed her Wizard Driver’s left Shift Lever. [TOUCH TO ADVANCE YOUR CLASS!] Then she aligned her left glove with her Wizard Driver’s Hand Author. [ADVANCE BOUNDER PLEASE!] Symbol thrust her left glove out in front of her as the bounder magic circle appeared and moved back through her. Transforming the Kamen Rider into the Advance Bounder Style.

Symbol darted forwards at speeds that made her nothing but a blur as she hit her Wizard Driver’s left Shift Lever once. [TOUCH TO CAST THE NEXT LEVEL!] Then she scanned her left glove over her Wizard Driver’s Hand Author as the Imprisoner’s colour shifted from red to green. [ADVANCE BOUNDER C TIER SPELL!] Symbol’s emitters covered her left leg in green magical energy as she jumped into a flying kick that was aimed at the Imprisoner Phantom’s face.

Suddenly, the Phantom vanished.

“What the-?!” shouted Symbol as the Phantom appeared behind her and slammed her into the ground with a double hammer blow. It pulled its fists away to reveal Symbol in a creator and got ready to smash her again. “No, you don’t!” Symbol switched the Bounder Ring for the Blaster Ring and hit her Wizard Driver’s left Shift Lever once. [TOUCH TO ADVANCE YOUR CLASS!] Then she scanned her left glove over her Wizard Driver’s Hand Author. [ADVANCE BLASTER PLEASE!] Symbol held her left glove up and the blaster magic circle appeared, forcing the Phantom back before it moved through her, transforming her into the Advance Blaster Style.

The Imprisoner Phantom recovered and moved to slam its fists down on Symbol once more. Before it could, Symbol pressed her Wizard Driver’s left Shift Lever twice. [TOUCH TO CAST THE NEXT LEVEL!] Then she scanned her left glove over her Wizard Driver’s Hand Author as the emitters started up. [ADVANCE BLASTER B TIER SPELL!] The energy that the emitters released formed into a circle of purple orbs around Symbol that blasted outwards, slamming into the Imprisoner Phantom and exploding violently.

The Phantom staggered back as Symbol got some distance and hit her Wizard Driver’s left Shift Lever twice. [TOUCH TO CAST THE NEXT LEVEL!] Then she scanned her left glove over her Wizard Driver’s Hand Author as the emitters generated purple magical energy. [ADVANCE BLASTER B TIER SPELL!] Symbol threw her arms out to the side as the ring of purple spheres appeared and shot at the Imprisoner Phantom. Only for it to reach down and pull a rock from the ground that it used to block the attack. Then it hurled the rock at Symbol. It accelerated and slammed into Symbol, making sparks explode from her body as it hit her.

“Let’s give this a go!” shouted Symbol as she hit her Wizard Driver’s left Shift Lever three times. [TOUCH TO CAST THE NEXT LEVEL!] She scanned her left glove across her Wizard Driver’s Hand Author as the emitters generated purple magical energy [ADVANCE BLASTER A TIER SPELL!] It spiralled inwards around her gloves before Symbol thrust both of them forwards, firing a large beam of purple magical energy. The glowing energy around the Imprisoner Phantom formed into a shield as it charged through the beam and slammed its left fists into Symbol, sparks exploded from her chestplate as she was sent flying backwards.

“This is getting nuts!” shouted Symbol as she hit her Wizard Driver’s left Shift Lever four times. [TOUCH TO CAST THE NEXT LEVEL! VERY NICE!] Then she scanned her left glove over her Wizard Driver’s Hand Author as the emitters released a storm of yellow and purple magical energy. [ADVANCE BLASTER S TIER SPELL! THE BEST!] It formed into an orb in front of Symbol as nine spheres of purple magical energy winked in around it. Symbol placed her left glove on the orb as she pulled back her right fist. “Blaster Impact!” she slammed her fist into the orb and it collapsed into a giant beam that roared forwards as the smaller spheres fired several smaller beams that cut through the air.

The Imprisoner Phantom reached into the ground and pulled up and rock. It charged the rock with purple energy to the point that it was glowing and threw it. The rock transformed into a streaking projectile that cut through the air and slammed into the beams. “What?!” shouted Symbol as her attack was forced back and the rock slammed into her chest plate making sparks explode from it and sent her flying through a statue.

Symbol got up, clutching her helmet as she switched the Blaster Ring for the Blocker Ring, then she hit her Wizard Driver’s left Shift Lever. [[/b]TOUCH TO ADVANCE YOUR CLASS!] Then Symbol scanned her left glove over her Wizard Driver’s Hand Author. [ADVANCE BLOCKER PLEASE!] She held her left glove out in front of her as the blocker magic circle appeared and moved back through her. “I need some cover to recover,” muttered Symbol.

She hit her Wizard Driver’s left Shift Lever once. [TOUCH TO CAST THE NEXT LEVEL!] Then she scanned her left glove over her Wizard Driver’s Hand Author as the emitters started to generate blue magical energy. [ADVANCE BLOCKER C TIER SPELL!] Symbol held out her gloves in front of her and a square shaped shield of blue magical energy appeared in front of gloves.

Then Symbol pressed her Wizard Driver’s left Shift Lever twice. [TOUCH TO CAST THE NEXT LEVEL!] She scanned her left glove over her Wizard Driver’s Hand Author as the emitters started up again. [ADVANCE BLOCKER B TIER SPELL!] Symbol held up her left glove and the blue magical energy formed into a circle shaped shield in front of her.

Then Symbol hit her Wizard Driver’s left Shift Lever three times. [TOUCH TO CAST THE NEXT LEVEL!] Before she scanned her left glove over her Wizard Driver’s Hand Author, starting the emitters. [ADVANCE BLOCKER A TIER SPELL!] Symbol crossed her arms over her chest plate and then thrust them down to her side as she was covered in blue energy.

“Final!” Symbol hit her Wizard Driver’s left Shift Lever four times. [TOUCH TO CAST THE NEXT LEVEL! VERY NICE!] She scanned her left glove over her Wizard Driver’s Hand Author as the emitters jetted out a storm of blue and yellow magical energy. [ADVANCE BLOCKER S TIER SPELL! THE BEST!] Symbol held up both of her gloves and the magical energy formed into a cube around the Imprisoner Phantom, which had not moved this whole time. “Containment Cube!” shouted Symbol.

Suddenly, the Imprisoner Phantom’s aura turned blue and it’s mask opened. It released a blue beam from its mouth that smashed through the Containment Cube. “Oh come on!” shouted Symbol as the beam tore through both of her shields, destroying them so fast that their special effects had no time to activate. She crossed her arms as the beam smashed into her aura shield and she dispelled it, sending out a shockwave of blue magical energy that forced the beam back for half a second. She used that second to roll out of the way. The beam tore past her and smashed a hole through a wall.

“What is with this thing?!” shouted Symbol. “Its like its adapted to all of my attacks!” 

“That’s because it has,” shouted a voice out of nowhere.

“Who said that?!” Symbol looked around as a crow flew down to her. But there was something that was familiar about it. “Wait a minute!” 


Start Flashback


At least, most of them avoided Symbol’s fist, one of them was kicked into the fist’s path by several other crows, sparks exploded from its body as the crow went into a tail dive and slammed into the ground.

“That was just plain cruel!” shouted Symbol.


End Flashback


“Your that crow that was hit,” gasped Symbol.

“Yes and I want to help you,” replied the crow.

“Why?” asked Symbol. “I mean your a Phantom, shouldn’t the hive mind be forcing you to attack me?”

“Getting attacked by one of my own released me from the hive mind. At least this way I can get some penance for what I have been forced to do ever since I was bonded to that Wisp Phantom,” came the reply.

“What do you mean that this is adapting to what I can do?” asked Symbol. “I thought only Kamen Rider were able to do that.”

“There are over twenty different methods to become a Kamen Rider, being the offspring of a Phantom and a Gem Maiden is just one of them,” explained the crow. “That Gem Maiden broke free of the Hive Mind, becoming a Kamen Rider in the process. But she was recaptured and re-connected to the Hive Mind. Resulting in his transformation back into a Gem Maiden.”

“But she kept her Kamen Rider powers!” Symbol realised. “Only they were supercharged!” 

“Exactly,” replied the crow. “With her having adapted to your upgraded forms, she will be able to overpower your super forms with ease. “I offer you a new power that will allow you to beat him with ease.”

Symbol thought for several seconds. “What do I have to lose? Do it!”

The crows screech as it was covered in a purple light before it flew at Symbol.

She held up her right arm and the crow collided with her forearm armour. There was a bright flash of light. When Symbol, Eva and the Imprisoner Gem Maiden were able to see again Symbol’s right forearm guard had changed. The top of it was a black rectangle with a black opening Hand Author that had yellow outlines. In the centre of the Hand Author was a grey circle-shaped clock that had a trio of black hands and was divided into five sections, yellow, red, blue, green and purple. On the back of her right glove was a piece of grey square-shaped armour that had a grey A on the back of it was a silver band around her right middle finger. [ADVANCE TIME!] Symbol suddenly found herself back in her Advance Style.

She knew what to do. “Thanks,” she turned the circle around one full turn. [SET UP!] “Its show time,” Symbol hit the Advance Timer’s Hand Author’s thumb. [START!] 

Symbol ran forwards and hit her Wizard Driver’s left Shift Lever once. [TOUCH TO CAST THE NEXT LEVEL!] Then she scanned her left glove over her Wizard Driver’s Hand Author as the emitters generated yellow magical energy. [ADVANCE C TIER SPELL!] Symbol covered her left fist in the energy as she threw an uppercut that fired a fist sized yellow beam at the now revealed Imprisoner Gem Maiden. The Gem Maidens aura turned yellow as it deflected the beam away from itself.

The Gem Maiden glowed red as it brought all four fists down towards Symbol, she hit her Wizard Driver’s left Shift Lever three times in response. [TOUCH TO CAST THE NEXT LEVEL!] Then she swiped her left glove across her Wizard Driver’s Hand Author as the emitters generated yellow magical energy. [ADVANCE A TIER SPELL!] Symbol crossed her arms and the energy formed into a circle shaped shield in front of Symbol blocking the hit but sending her skidding backwards in the process.

[ADVANCE A TIER SPELL!] Yellow magical energy covered both of her fists as Symbol ducked under a swing and gave the Gem Maiden a double palm strike that sent it flying backwards.

[ADVANCE BREAKER C TIER SPELL!] The emitters on her body summoned red magical energy that wrapped around her fist as she punched the Gem Maiden, sparks exploded from the impact point as the Gem Maiden was sent flying backwards.

The Imprisoner Gem Maiden recovered and glowed red as it charged at Breaker Advance. Only for Symbol to strike her Wizard Driver’s left Shift Lever twice. [TOUCH TO CAST THE NEXT LEVEL!] Then she scanned her left glove over her Wizard Driver’s Hand Author as the emitters summoned yellow magical energy.

The Gem Maiden struggled to get back up as its aura shifted from purple to red and it turned towards Advance Breaker, throwing a backhand at the Kamen Rider clone.

Only for Advance Blocker to hit her Wizard Driver’s left Shift Lever once. [TOUCH TO CAST THE NEXT LEVEL!] Then she scanned her left glove over her Wizard Driver’s Hand Author as the emitters on her body started to hum. [ADVANCE BLOCKER C TIER SPELL!] She thrust out her left glove with all five fingers pointing upwards and a square shaped barrier of blue magical energy appeared in front of Advance Breaker. The second the Imprisoner Gem Maiden’s backhanded blow hit the barrier it exploded and sent the Gem Maiden flying back through the air.

The Imprisoner Gem Maiden flipped over and roared at Advance Blocker as its aura shifted from red to blue.

Symbol saw this and hit her Wizard Driver’s left Shift Lever twice. [TOUCH TO CAST THE NEXT LEVEL!] The emitters hummed to life after Symbol swiped her left glove over her Wizard Driver’s Hand Author. [ADVANCE B TIER SPELL!] The yellow magical energy gathered around her right elbow as Symbol streaked forwards and slammed it into the Imprisoner Gem Maiden’s face with enough force to turn its head to the side. Right as the Gem Maiden fired a beam of blue magical energy from its maw. The beam cut through the wall, missing its target.

The Imprisoner Gem Maiden swatted Symbol away, sending her flying through the air as its aura shifted from blue to yellow. It charged after Symbol, aiming at the point where it knew she was going to land.

Advance Bounder saw this and hit her Wizard Driver’s left Shift Lever once. [TOUCH TO CAST THE NEXT LEVEL!] Then she scanned her left glove over her Wizard Driver’s Hand Author as the emitters started to make green magical energy. [ADVANCE BOUNDER C TIER SPELL!] Which gathered around her right fist as she streaked forwards and slammed it into the Gem Maiden. Sparks exploded from the side of the Imprisoner Gem Maiden as it stumbled to the side from the force behind the blow.

The Imprisoner Gem Maiden’s aura shifted from yellow to green. It roared at Advance Bounder as it streaked off after her.

Advance Bounder blurred away with the Gem Maiden following before she took cover behind Advance Blocker.

Who struck her Wizard Driver’s left Shift Lever three times. [TOUCH TO CAST THE NEXT LEVEL!] Then she scanned her left glove over her Wizard Driver’s Hand Author even as the Imprisoner Gem Maiden blitzed towards her. [ADVANCE BLOCKER A TIER SPELL!] The emitters glowed with blue magical energy that formed into an aura around Advance Blocker. She blocked both of the Imprisoner Gem Maiden’s front amrs with her gloves, not even moving as she shoved it back and punched the Gem Maiden in the face. Sparks exploded from the impact point as the Gem Maiden was sent flying.

The Imprisoner Gem Maiden’s aura shifted from green to blue and it opened its maw to reveal blue energy collecting in its throat.

Advance Blocker had no time to do anything.

Fortunately, Advance Breaker did. She hit her Wizard Driver’s left Shift Lever twice. [TOUCH TO CAST THE NEXT LEVEL!] Then she swiped her left glove over her Wizard Driver’s Hand Author as her emitters produced red magical energy. [ADVANCE BREAKER B TIER SPELL!] Which wrapped around her right glove as she threw an uppercut that forced the Imprisoner Gem Maiden’s head up.

The Gem Maiden fired its beam, cutting into the ceiling and causing several rocks to fall on top of it.

The Imprisoner Gem Maiden burst out of the rocks, steaming mad as its aura shifted from blue to red and it slammed Advance Breaker into the ground.

Advance Blaster hit her Wizard Driver’s left Shift Lever three times. [TOUCH TO CAST THE NEXT LEVEL!] Then she swiped her left glove over her Wizard Driver’s Hand Author as the emitters roared to life. [ADVANCE BLASTER A TIER SPELL!] She pulled back her gloves as purple magical energy gathered around them and then threw them forwards, firing a pair of beams that slammed into the Gem Maiden and forced it backwards several steps.

The Imprisoner Gem Maiden’s aura shifted from red to purple as it turned towards Advance Blaster and pulled a rock up from the ground, making it glowing with purple magical energy.

Advance Breaker struck her Wizard Driver’s left Shift Lever four times. [TOUCH TO CAST THE NEXT LEVEL! VERY NICE!] Then she scanned her left glove over her Wizard Driver’s Hand Author as the emitters on her body released a storm of red and yellow magical energy. [ADVANCE BREAKER S TIER SPELL! THE BEST!] It gathered around Advance Breaker’s left glove as she curled it into a fist and rocketed forwards. “Breaker Impact!” Advance Breaker slammed her left glove into the rock and broke through it before continuing her charge and slamming her left fist into the Impersonator Gem Maiden’s face. Sparks exploded from the Gem Maiden’s face as it was sent flying backwards with micro explosions going off around it.

The Gem Maiden was sent flying backwards as it landed back on the ground and switched its aura over to red.

Advance Blocker hit her Wizard Driver’s left Shift Lever four times. [TOUCH TO CAST THE NEXT LEVEL! VERY NICE!] Then she scanned her left glove over her Wizard Driver’s Hand Author as her emitters released a storm of blue and yellow magical energy. [ADVANCE BLOCKER S TIER SPELL! THE BEST!] The energy gathered around her hands as she thrust them out. It transformed into a cube of blue magical energy around the Imprisoner Gem Maiden, trapping it.

The Gem Maiden’s aura changed to blue as it started to charge up the beam inside its mouth.

Advance Bounder hit her Wizard Driver’s left Shift Lever four times as she dashed towards the Gem Maiden. [TOUCH TO CAST THE NEXT LEVEL! VERY NICE!] Then she scanned her left glove over her Wizard Driver’s Hand Author as the emitters released a storm of green and yellow magical energy. [ADVANCE BOUNDER S TIER SPELL! THE BEST!] Which gathered around her left boot as she jumped into a flying kick and slammed her boot into the Contaminant Cube. Green magical energy mixed with yellow and blue magical energy, causing the Containment Cube to grow several spikes that pierced through the Gem Maiden in a shower of sparks and a roar of pain.

Advance Blaster saw that it was her turn and punched her Wizard Driver’s left Shift Lever four times. [TOUCH TO CAST THE NEXT LEVEL! VERY NICE!] Then she scanned her left glove over her Wizard Driver’s Hand Author as the emitters on her body summoned yellow and purple magical energy. [ADVANCE BLASTER S TIER SPELL! THE BEST!] It gathered in the form of a large orb in front of Advance Blaster. She placed her left glove on it and punched the orb as nine smaller spheres winked in around it. The orb collapsed into a large beam that shot forwards as the spheres each fired a smaller beam that roared alongside the large beam. They slammed into the Gem Maiden, washing over and cutting through it in a large explosion.

The Imprisoner Gem Maiden collapsed to its knees as the place lit up.

The four Advance Style Clones were standing around it in a pentagram with Symbol at the head of the image. Each of them had their magic circles rotating under them with a line connecting each of them to each other. Symbol hit her Wizard Driver’s left Shift Lever four times. [TOUCH TO CAST THE NEXT LEVEL! VERY NICE!] Then she scanned her left glove over her Wizard Driver’s Hand Author as the clones transformed into energy that was pulled into her left boot. [ADVANCE S TIER SPELL! THE BEST!] Symbol floated into the air before shooting down at the Imprisoner Gem Maiden. “Advance Strike End!” shouted Symbol as her boot made contact with the Phantom and sent it flying back. Light started to leak from several cracks that appeared from the impact point as lightning of all five colours leaked out of the Phantom’s body. It slammed through several statues before exploding.

“Final!” muttered Symbol as her visors glowed against the flames of the explosion.

She glanced back towards the Phantom and did a classic double take.

Out of the explosion staggered a Kamen Rider. 

She was clearly a female and wore a black bodysuit with attached black gloves and combat boots. Her helmet was white with a golden line going through the top of it and the mouth guard took up the bottom half of the faceplate while being coloured silver. Her visors were hidden behind a golden piece of armour that was shaped like a four-pointed cross that had a black horizontal visor going through the front of it.

Her chestplate in the shape of a white kite shield with a golden emblem in the centre of it. Two white squares covered each of her sides, under her arms and connected to her backplate. White shoulder armour that pointed outwards with golden outlines covered her shoulder. Also, the shoulder armour covered the area between her neck and shoulders as well as forming a collar around her neck. Thick, white knight like gauntlets covered her forearms and gloves. The armour around her gloves had golden outlines. Her highs and the outside of her upper legs were also covered in thick plates of white armour while her shins were shielded by white knight grieves. Finally, her boots were covered in thick white armour with golden outlines.

Around her waist was a black belt with a Driver for a buckle. It was four black squares, each of which had four golden lines along them to make them look like fists. The outer two squares had a golden handle, while the inner two had a red light in the centre of them and each had a slot in the top of them.

Next to her was a white sword with a golden handle and a white kite shield with golden outlines.

She looked like a recoloured version of Kamen Rider IXA.

“I did not see that coming. How is she still alive?” questioned Symbol.

“Because Kamen Rider’s do not kill,” came a voice that Symbol had not heard in years.

She looked at Eva, only to see dark energy coming off her. “So I was right this was a trick!” shouted Symbol.

“Look closer,” replied Eva calmly as if her daughter was not ready to throttle her.

Symbol stared at Eva, her visors reading carefully into the magic around her. “Oh, I see. Your a construct with the soul of Eva within it. Likely put there by Wiseman.”

Eva nodded. “Detective as always Sunset.”

It was then that the adrenaline from the fight wore off and Symbol released something.

Her mother was standing in front of her.

The Mother who had given her life up so that she and her brothers could get away.

The same Mother who Symbol loved with all of her heart.

The advance magic circle appeared in front of her and Symbol ran through it, emerging as a crying Sunset Shimmer Sparda.

She tackled Eva as they both cried tears of joy.

“It’s so good to see you mom,” sobbed Sunset as she hugged her mother.

Eva smiled softly. “It is good to see you again my daughter.”

“I finally have you back!” cried Sunset.

Eva smiled turned sad. “Sunset, I’m not back.”

That brought Sunset up short. “What do you-” she gasped. “Your starting to vanish!” 

Indeed, Eva’s body was starting to turn transparent and her feet had already vanished. 

“This body is only a construct,” explained Eva. “This room was keeping it alive, but now that the Imprisoner Gem Maiden had been beaten, I have about ten minutes.”

“No! I can’t lose you again!” cried Sunset.

“Sunset, my time among the living is over. I don’t regret dying so that you and your brothers may live. Plus, I can see my family once more,” Eva smiled softly.

“I guess that's far,” replied Sunset as she calmed down after crying her eyes out for several more minutes.

“You can still ask me some questions if you want,” said Eva.

“What did you mean when you said that Kamen Riders don't kill?” asked Sunset. 

“When a Kamen Rider kills a being that is not acting of their own free will, the creature is free of the mind control and returned back to their home world, alive. Or they are sent to a hub world if their own has been destroyed,” explained Eva.

“Cool!” shouted Sunset. “But that makes us even more dangerous to the Gem Maidens and the Phantoms.”

Eva nodded.

“It also explains why I have had no issue with slaughtering every Phantom and Gem Maiden in my path,” added Sunset.

Eva smiled.

“But then what is she still here?!” Sunset pointed at the Kamen Rider on the floor. 

“I have no idea,” replied Eva.

“And if Wiseman did this to you, then why was a Gem Maiden guarding you?” asked Sunset.

“Do you know mine and Sparda’s pasts?” asked Eva.

“I know that Sparda was the most trusted servant of Wiseman who was the second ruler of the Phantom hive mind.”

“You know less than I thought,” stated Eva. “When the original Phantom Ruler and Gem Maiden Empress were killed, it was because they were fighting a creature that none of their servants were able to kill or help them with as it was too powerful.”

Symbol nodded to show she understood.

“Wiseman didn’t want this to happen again so he cut its power in half, but knew that if he gave half his power to another Phantom, it would strain his control over that Phantom and there would be a high chance that the Phantom would break free and become a rival or even an enemy.”

Symbol nodded.

Eva continued. “So, he cut half of his power into ten pieces and gave them to ten Phantoms, calling them the Ten Commanders. The leader of which was Wiseman younger brother before they were turned into Phantoms.”

“Sparda,” realised Symbol.

Eva nodded. “The Gem Maiden Empress did something similar. But she cut half of her power into four pieces and gave it to four Gem Maidens which had been her Daughters by blood before their world was invaded, calling them the four Valkyrie's.”

“One of which you were,” realised Symbol.

Eva nodded in confirmation.

“Ok, good history lesson, but how does that answer my question?” asked Symbol.

“While I got along well with two of my sisters, myself and my last sister hated each other. When we receive our mother’s power, the hive mind was loosened and we gained a bit of our personalities back. When I broke free, mother told me that she would kill me if she ever saw me again. Amy was disappointed, Lucy was ashamed and Erza was livid. When Wiseman put me here, she had one of the few Kamen Rider who had been turned into a Gem Maiden, disguised herself as a Phantom and appear here. To turtoure me for all of eternity.”

“And your going to be happy to see them again?!” demanded Symbol.

“My mother and two of my sisters always liked me. It was the Gem Maidens speaking, not them!” replied Eva hotly.

“Right sorry,” replied Symbol.

Eva’s chest had just finished vanishing. “What happened to Wiseman?” asked Eva.

“We killed him, or at least freed him,” replied Sunset. “Wiseman sent out some kind of blast at the end of the fight that I threw Dante and Vergil out of the way of. Next thing I know, I’m here.”

Eva shook her head and gave a rueful chuckle. “You never did have a sense of self.” 

“Proud of it.” Sunset knelt next to her mother.

“I was good to see you again my Daughter,” said Eva as her head started to fade away.

“You too mom,” replied Sunset as tears started to well in her eyes.

“Your as beautiful as the day Sparda found you,” now Eva had almost completely faded away. “Remember Sunset, I will always love you and your brothers, always,” now Eva was gone.

Tears came from Sunset eyes. “I love you too Mom,” for the first time in years, she openly sobbed not of joy, but of sadness.
> Interlude 6
> --------------------------------------------------------------------------

“You are ok, mistress?” a soft female voice pulled Sunset back to consciousness after she had cried herself to sleep.

Sunset looked up and saw four female humans standing over her. 

They all looked to be two or three years older than her, putting them at nineteen or twenty.

The first was tall and had fair skin along with dark blue eyes. Her hair was short and blond, messily layered on her head with the right side of her hair nearing her right eye and the left side swept back. She was quite toned, having strong muscles in her arms, shoulders and upper chest. The woman wore a dark blue jumpsuit that engulfed her body from the neck down, it had attached white gloves and white combat boots. There were no zippers, no seams and no openings, no way to get in or out of the suit that Sunset could see. The top half of the suit’s chest shifted from blue fabric to white gemstone armour. It was the same for the suit’s shoulders, the area between its shoulders and neck, knees as well as the forearms and shins. A line of white coral went halfway down the outside of the suit's legs, then the line moved down to the front of the suit's legs, connecting to the suit's knees.

The second girl wore her red hair in a waist-length ponytail, curled slightly into a loose ringlet. She also wore light-green eyeshadow around the far upper corners of her green eyes. She was tall and quite muscular. The woman wore a dark blue jumpsuit that engulfed her body from the neck down, it had attached white gloves and white combat boots. There were no zippers, no seams and no openings, no way to get in or out of the suit that Sunset could see. The top half of the suit’s chest shifted from blue fabric to bronze gemstone armour. It was the same for the suit’s shoulders, the area between its shoulders and neck, knees as well as the forearms and shins. A line of bronze sunstone went halfway down the outside of the suit's legs, then the line moved down to the front of the suit's legs, connecting to the suit's knees.

The second to last girl had long black hair tied into a ponytail that ends midway down her back. There was a magenta streak on the left side of her hair. Her eyes match the streak in her hair. The woman wore a dark blue jumpsuit that engulfed her body from the neck down, it had attached white gloves and white combat boots. There were no zippers, no seams and no openings, no way to get in or out of the suit that Sunset could see. The top half of the suit’s chest shifted from blue fabric to magenta gemstone armour. It was the same for the suit’s shoulders, the area between its shoulders and neck, knees as well as the forearms and shins. A line of green emerald went halfway down the outside of the suit's legs, then the line moved down to the front of the suit's legs, connecting to the suit's knees.

The final girl had fair skin, short orange hair and turquoise eyes. The woman wore a dark blue jumpsuit that engulfed her body from the neck down, it had attached white gloves and white combat boots. There were no zippers, no seams and no openings, no way to get in or out of the suit that Sunset could see. The top half of the suit’s chest shifted from blue fabric to black gemstone armour. It was the same for the suit’s shoulders, the area between its shoulders and neck, knees as well as the forearms and shins. A line of pink sapphire went halfway down the outside of the suit's legs, then the line moved down to the front of the suit's legs, connecting to the suit's knees.

After a few seconds Sunset’s mind came back online and she realised that there were four Gem Maidens standing in front of her. “What the-?!” she jumped away and landed several feet back as she scanned her Driver On Ring over her belt’s buckle. [DRIVER ON!] The magic circle appeared. [PLEASE!] Then her belt transformed into her Wizard Driver.

Sunset Shimmer Sparda was about to transform into Kamen Rider Symbol when she realized that the Gem Maiden had not moved to attack her and was just standing there. “Er, aren’t you going to attack me?” asked Sunset. 

“Does mistress want me to attack her?” asked the blond Gem Maiden.

The first time the Gem Maidens had called her that, Sunset had been half asleep. Now? It caught her rather flat foot. “Mistress?! What?! Me?!”

“Yes mistress,” nodded the red haired Gem Maiden.

Sunset gaped at her for several seconds before shaking it off. “Explain!” she ordered.

“Explain what mistress?” asked the orange haired Gem Maiden.

“Why you are calling me mistress!” shouted Sunset.

“When you defeated my Phantom form in combat the Hive Mind broke away from me. Normally your Kamen Rider powers would have returned me to my home Dimension. But thanks to my nature as a Kamen Rider, combined with the unique state of this Dimension that we are in that was not possible. Thus, your powers as a Kamen Rider decided that the safest way to insure that I was no longer a threat was creating a new Hive Mind with you as the queen and myself as a drone,” explained the black haired Gem Maiden.

Sunset looked even more shocked now. Now that she thought about it she could feel four sets of thoughts that she knew were not hers. “Then, can’t I just free you?” she asked.

“Negative,” replied the blond Gem Maiden.

“The Hive Mind will only break if we are in our home dimension,” added the red haired Gem Maiden.

“And I can’t dimension hop at will yet,” muttered Sunset.

“Also, we do not know what our home dimension is,” added the orange haired Gem Maiden.

“Great,” groaned Sunset.

Then she realised something.

“Wait a minute! Are you saying that the Phantom, Gem Maiden, whatever the Imprisoner was, was really four Kamen Riders fused into one?!” she demanded.

“Yes, Mistress,” replied the blond haired Gem Maiden.

“More like two Kamen Rider’s,” corrected the red haired Gem Maiden.

Sunset tilted her head to one side. “What do you mean?”

“Myself and her,” the orange haired Gem Maiden pointed to the black haired Gem Maiden. “Can combine into a single Kamen Rider. As can those two,” she pointed to the blond and red haired Gem Maiden.

“Those two Kamen Riders can then combine into a single Kamen Rider,” explained the black haired Gem Maiden.

“Interesting,” replied Sunset. “But then how were you caught with such a great power?”

“The Gem Maidens attacked us separately so we were unable to transform let alone fuse,” replied the orange haired Gem Maiden.

“So what do I call you?” asked Sunset.

“I’m sorry Mistress?” asked the black haired Gem Maiden.

“I’m not going to call you blond, red, orange and black,” deadpanned Sunset. 

“What do wish us to be called Mistress?” asked the blond haired Gem Maiden.

“Do you remember your names before you were converted?!” demanded Sunset as she started to lose her patience.

“Yes,” replied the black haired Gem Maiden.

After several seconds of waiting, Sunset snapped. “THEN WHAT WERE THEY?!” she demanded.

“Lightning Dust Arc,” replied the blond haired Gem Maiden.

“Gilda Nikos,” replied the red haired Gem Maiden.

“Lyra Valkyrie,” answered the orange haired Gem Maiden.

“Lie Bon Bon,” complied the black haired Gem Maiden.

The second Sunset heard those names she clutched her head as she dropped to the ground.

Memories started to flash through her head as visions played out in front of her eyes.

They were appearing and vanishing to fast for her to make anything out.

The sensory overload made her head feel like it was about to explode.

Just as Sunset was about to pass out the visions stopped.

“How do you feel?” asked a mocking voice. 

Sunset struggled to turn her head to the side but was unable. “Help me up,” she ordered.

Her new servants did so.

Sunset could now see that the voice had come from the fake Vergil.

“So sister,” he began.

Sunset cut him off. “Don’t call me that! You're not the real Vergil!” 

“Well, Sunset, how do you feel?” asked the fake Vergil.

“If I could move, then you’d already be on the ground, bleeding into the dirt for trying to turn me against my family,” snarled out Sunset. 

“Good luck,” smirked the Fake Vergil. “I have all the skills of your brother at his best.”

“I said it to the Fake Dante and I will say it to you!” shouted Sunset. “If the real Vergil could never beat me, then what makes you think an imposter can!?” demanded Sunset.

“Hollow Dante was made for looks, not for power,” explained the Fake Vergil. “I’m the other way around.”

“Mistress, allow us to prove our loyalty by defeating this monster,” requested Lightning Dust.

“We will defend you to our last breath!” proclaimed Gilda.

“You have our loyalty,” shouted Lyra.

“Please,” requested Bon Bon.

Sunset looked at them for several seconds. “Alright, do it!” 

A Driver appeared around Gilda and Bon Bon’s waists. Gilda’s was a white block with five golden lines coming from a golden circle shaped light on the left side of it and a small slot above the light. Bon Bon’s Driver was a black block with five white lines coming from a red circle shaped light on the left side and it and the block had a small slot above the light. These are the Weapon and Grimm Drivers.

Gilda pulled out a whistle that was golden and had a white kite shield in the centre of it. She slotted it into her Driver’s slot. [C-R-O-C-E-A M-O-R-S!]

Bon Bon pulled out a white whistle with a black wolf head in the centre of it. She slotted it into her Driver’s slot. [B-E-O-W-U-L-F!]

Lyra and Lightning Dust both held out their hands and a weapon appeared in them. Lightning Dust was a white block with five golden lines coming from the left side of it where a golden handle was. Meanwhile, Lyra’s was a black block with five white lines coming from the right side of it where a white handle was. Both of the devices had a slot in the centre of them. These are the Dust and Aura Knuckles.

Lightning Dust pulled out a red whistle with a black flame in the centre of it. She slotted it into the Dust Knuckle. [F-I-R-E D-U-S-T!]

Lyra materialized a red whistle with a black rose on the front of it, she slotted it into the Aura Knuckle. [R-O-S-E S-P-E-E-D!]

Lyra walked up to Bon Bon’s right and Lightning Dust moved to Gilda’s left as they pressed the flat side of the Aura and Dust Knuckles against their left and right palms respectively. [R-E-A-D-Y!] Then Lyra connected the flat side of the Aura Knuckle to the right side of the Grimm Driver while Lightning Dust connected the flat side of the Aura Knuckle to the flat side of the Weapon Driver. [F-I-S-T O-N!]

A hologram of a white sword and a golden kite shield appeared in front of the Weapon Driver, while a hologram of a red flame appeared in front of the Dust Knuckle. Two more holograms, one of a white and black wolf head while the other was a red and black rose appeared in front of the Grimm Driver and the Aura Knuckle. 

Each of the two hologram pairs moved in together and started to spin before shooting outwards, forming a set of holographic armour. The two sets of armour then shot backwards, one of them wrapped around Bon Bon and Lyra, while the other wrapped around Lightning Dust and Gilda. In a flash of light the two sets of armour turned solid, fusing the two pairs into a pair of Kamen Riders.

The Kamen Rider that had once been Gilda and Lightning Dust wore a black bodysuit with attached black gloves and boots. She wore a white helmet with a golden vertical line cutting through the back of it. In the centre of the faceplate was a golden cross with a black horizontal visor running through the centre of it that dipped down in a U shape at the centre. Her chestplate was in the shape of a kite shield and coloured white. It was connected to three bronze squares on each of her sides under her armpits. Her shoulder armour was white and pointed outwards, it connected across the gap between her shoulders, it had white outlines. Her forearm guards looked like three D rectangles and were coloured red, as was the armour on the back of her gloves. The armour on her thighs and the outside of her upper legs was white with bronze outlines. The armour around the Kamen Rider’s shins was shaped like a pair of three D rectangles and coloured red, as was the armour on her boots.

The Kamen Rider that had once been Bon Bon and Lyra wore a black bodysuit with attached black gloves and boots. She wore a white helmet with a black line cutting through the back of it. In the centre of the faceplate was a black cross with a red horizontal visor going through the centre of it that curled down into a U shape in the middle. Her chestplate looked like a white kite shield with a black wolf logo in the centre of it, it was connected to a pair of black squares under her armpits. Her shoulder armour was white with black outlines, it pointed outwards and covered the area between her shoulders and neck, forming a collar around her neck. Her forearm armour looked like a pair of three D rectangles and was coloured red with black outlines, her shin armour was identical to her forearm guards. The armour on the back of her gloves and boots was red with black outlines and had a boxy shape. The armour on her hips and the outside of her shins was black with white outlines.

These are Kamen Rider Weapon and Grimm.

“Woah!” gasped Sunset, before wincing as another burst of pain tore through her head.

“I came to fight Sunset, not a pair of fakes!” snarled the Fake Vergil.

“Have you seen yourself in the mirror lately?” asked Lyra’s voice from Kamen Rider Grimm.

“We are not the only fake here,” observed Lightning Dust’s voice from Kamen Rider Weapon.

The Fake Vergil’s snarled as he held his Driver On Ring over his belt buckle. [DRIVER ON!] A white version of Vergil’s magic circle appeared in front of the belt buckle. [NOW!] The belt buckle transformed into a white version of Vergil’s Wizard Driver.

The Fake Vergil hit his Wizard Driver’s left Shift Lever, making the Hand Author flip to the left. [MAGICAL TOUCH HENSHIN!] Then he scanned his Nephilim Ring over his Wizard Driver’s Hand Author. [NEPHILIM!] The Fake Vergil held his left hand out in front of him. [NOW!] His Nephilim magic circle appeared and moved back through him. Transforming him into a white version of Kamen Rider Vergil Nephilim Style.

Grimm pressed the Beowulf Whistle once. [B-E-O-W-U-L-F! B-I-T-I-N-G!] Then she grabbed the Aura Knuckle and pressed it inwards. Dark energy flowed out of her Driver and the armour around her gloves shifted into four white claws with red veins running through them that black outlines. Grimm charged and slashed at the Fake Vergil with her claws, cutting sparked out of his body.

The Fake Vergil snarled as he pressed the first button on the Space Sheath. [ONE!] White energy gathered around the Space Sheath as he gripped the handle of the Yamato Katana. [KATANA STRIKE! NOW!] The Fake Vergil drew his sword and in the same movement, he forced Kamen Rider Grimm’s claws to the side as he slashed her across the chest
plate twice, sending her staggering backwards with sparks exploding from the two glowing white cuts in her chest plate.

Weapon dashed forwards and pressed the Crocea Mors Whistle once. [K-N-I-G-H-T S-W-O-R-D!] Then she slammed the Dust Knuckle into the Aura Driver. White and bronze energy came from the Driver and in a flash of light, they formed into a white long sword with a golden crossguard and a blue handle. She grabbed it and slashed downwards, forcing the Fake Kamen Rider Vergil to half draw the Yamato Katana and block the attack. Weapon broke the lock and slashed upwards, only to be blocked once more.

Weapon backed off as she pressed the Fire Dust Whistle once then punched the Dust Knuckle into the Weapon Driver. [F-I-R-E D-U-S-T! C-H-A-R-G-E!] The Knight Sword Burst into burning red flames as Kamen Rider Weapon dashed forwards and brought it down towards the Fake Kamen Rider Vergil.

Who pressed his Wizard Driver’s left Shift Lever once. [YES! KICK STRIKE!] Then he scanned his left glove and the Nephilim Ring over his Wizard Driver’s Hand Author. [UNDERSTAND!?] He warped backwards in a burst of blue smoke. Letting the Knight Sword slam into the ground where he had just been standing in an explosion of power.

The Fake Kamen Rider Vergil jumped into the air and hit the fifth button on the Space Sheath. [FIVE!] White energy covered the Yamato Katana as he drew it. [KATANA STRIKE! NOW!] Then he went rocketing down and slammed a vertical slash into Kamen Rider Weapon. Sparks exploded from the white cut she now had in her body.

Weapon recovered as she pressed the Crocea Mors Whistle twice, then she slammed the Dust Knuckle into the Weapon Driver. [K-N-I-G-H-T S-H-I-E-L-D!] White and bronze energy appeared from her Driver and formed into a white kite shield with bronze outlines called the Knight Shield. Weapon used it to block a pair of the Fake Vergil’s slashes, before giving him and shield bash that forced him back a couple of paces.

Weapon pressed the Fire Dust Whistle, then she slammed the Dust Knuckle into the Weapon Driver. [F-I-R-E D-U-S-T! P-O-W-E-R-E-D!] The Knight Shield was covered in red energy as she slammed it into the ground, forming a wall of flames and stopped the Fake Kamen Rider Vergil from getting close.

The Fake Kamen Rider Vergil switched his Nephilim Ring for his Demon Ring and pressed his Wizard Driver’s left Shift Lever. [MAGICAL TOUCH HENSHIN!] Then he scanned his left glove and the Demon Ring over his Wizard Driver’s Hand Author. [DEMON!] Vergil held his left glove out in front of him. [NOW!] The demon magic circle appeared in front of him and moved back through him, transforming him into the Demon Style.

The Fake Kamen Rider Vergil pressed the second button on the Space Yamato Katana. [TWO!] He jumped into the air as his right boot was covered in golden magical energy. [KATANA STRIKE! NOW!] He shot down with a flying kick and slammed it into the barrier, shattering it and slamming into Kamen Rider Weapon, sending her flying backwards.

The Fake Kamen Rider Vergil moved towards Kamen Rider Weapon with the intent to finish her off.

Kamen Rider Grimm pressed the Beowulf Whistle twice, then she slammed the Aura Knuckle into the Grimm Driver. [B-E-O-W-U-L-F! T-E-A-R-I-N-G!] Her legs were covered in black energy as she zipped towards the fake Kamen Rider Vergil.

He saw her coming and switched the Demon Ring for the Angel Ring before pressing his Wizard Driver’s left Shift Lever. [MAGICAL TOUCH HENSHIN!] Then he scanned his left glove and the Angel Ring over his Wizard Driver’s Hand Author. [ANGEL!] Then he held his left glove out in front of him. [NOW!] The angel magic circle appeared and moved back through the Fake Kamen Rider Vergil, transforming him into the Angel Style.

Then he pressed his Wizard Driver’s left Shift Lever once. [YES! KICK STRIKE!] He scanned his left glove and the Angel Ring across his Wizard Driver’s Hand Author. [UNDERSTAND!?] Silver wind appeared around his body before the Fake Kamen Rider Vergil blurred away from the claw slash that was aimed at his faceplate and would have done a lot of damage, had it connected.

Then the Fake Kamen Rider Vergil hit his Wizard Driver’s left Shift Lever once. [YES! KICK STRIKE!] He scanned his left glove over his Wizard Driver’s Hand Author as a point of silver light appeared in front of him. [UNDERSTAND!?] It shot forwards and slammed into Kamen Rider Grimm’s shoulder guard. The Fake Kamen Rider Vergil vanished in a flash of silver light and appeared behind Kamen Rider Grimm.

He pressed the third button on the Space Katana. [THREE!] Silver magical energy covered both of the weapons as the Fake Kamen Rider Vergil spun around. [KATANA STRIKE! NOW!] Silver wind was summoned around him as he jumped into the air, while the wind cutting into Kamen Rider Grimm and pulled her into the air with the Fake Kamen Rider Vergil.

While Kamen Rider Grimm was in the air and helpless, the Fake Kamen Rider Vergil pressed the fourth button on the Space Katana. [FOUR!] Silver energy covered both of his swords and he held them parallel to each other. [KATANA STRIKE! NOW!] Vergil spun around, slashing a pair of glowing silver lines into Grimm’s back. Sparks bleed from the wounds as they sealed shut before Grimm fell back to the ground.

The Fake Kamen Rider Vergil was not done as he pressed the Space Katana’s fifth button. [FIVE!] Silver magical energy covered the Space Katana and the Space Yamato Katana as Vergil swiped them both through the air. [KATANA STRIKE! NOW!] They each left a trail of silver energy that formed an X shape. Out of which blasted a sharp sword, it slammed into Grimm and sent her flying backwards with sparks coming from the impact point; dead centre of her chest plate.

Grimm pressed the Shimmer Speed Whistle once then slammed the Aura Knuckle into the Grimm Driver. [R-O-S-E!] Grimm vanished in a burst of speed and appeared behind the Fake Kamen Rider Vergil. Her arms blurred as she slashed him over a dozen times in under a second.

Only to do no damage.

“You really think such weak attacks can defeat me?” chuckled the Fake Kamen Rider Vergil. He pressed the sixth button on the Space Katana. [SIX!] Both of his swords were covered in silver magical energy as the Fake Kamen Rider Vergil dashed past Kamen Rider Grimm. [KATANA STRIKE! NOW!] She was suddenly covered by a storm of slashes that made sparks explode from her body until she was picked up from the force of one such slash and slammed into the ground.

Kamen Rider Weapon got back up and pressed the Crocea Mors Whistle three times, then she slammed the Dust Knuckle into the Weapon Driver. [C-R-O-C-E-A M-O-R-S! R-I-S-E U-P!] Red flames covered the Knight Sword and the Knight Shield. Weapon slammed the tip of the Knight Shield into the ground and flames spread out from it in two lines. They looped around the Fake Kamen Rider Vergil, forming a binding ring of flames. The Kamen Rider Weapon ran forwards and slashed through the centre of the Fake Kamen Rider Vergil with the, still blazing, Knight Sword. Sparks exploded from the glowing red line that was cut into the Fake Kamen Rider Vergil.

“I cannot even feel that,” he laughed as he broke free of the binding ring.

“Let us make our Mistress proud,” spoke of Lightning Dust’s voice from Kamen Rider Weapon as she removed the Crocea Mors Whistle from the Weapon Driver and switched it for a yellow Whistle that displayed a pair of gauntlets. She slotted it into the Weapon Driver. [E-M-B-E-R C-E-L-I-C-A!] Then she slammed the Dust Knuckle into the Weapon Driver. [R-E-A-D-Y!] A hologram of two gauntlets appeared in front of the Weapon Driver. [F-I-S-T O-N!] It started to spin before shooting off and transforming into an energy version of a helmet, two shoulder guards, four squares and a chestplate.

Weapon’s chestplate turned yellow while the squares under her armpits turned red. Her shoulder armoured turned yellow and now had red outlines. Meanwhile, her helmet had turned yellow and had a red line cutting through the centre of it, the cross in the centre of her faceplate turned red.

Suddenly, the cross glowed and transformed. It separated into four pieces, revealing a pair of blue circle shaped visors. Two pieces of the crosses moved under the visors while the other two pieces moved above the visors.

She was now Kamen Rider Weapon, Ember Celica Fire Dust Tune.

Weapon pressed down on the Ember Celica Whistle once then she slammed the Dust Knuckle into the Weapon Driver. [S-H-O-T-G-U-N G-A-U-N-T-L-E-T-S!] In a burst of yellow energy, a pair of gauntlets appeared, they were shaped like cylinders with a pair of red barrels over Weapon’s knuckles. She started punching and with each punch a small sphere of orange energy was fired, slamming into the Fake Kamen Rider Vergil.

Off to the side, Sunset’s eyes went wide. “Those almost look like my Punch Impacts,” she realised.

Weapon fired several more orbs that slammed into the Fake Kamen Rider Vergil as closed the distance between them and pressed the Fire Dust Whistle once more, before slamming the Dust Knuckle into the Weapon Driver. [F-I-R-E D-U-S-T! C-H-A-R-G-E!] Red energy flowed into the Ember Celica Gauntlets as Kamen Rider Weapon pulled back her left fist. Just before she got within sword range of the Fake Kamen Rider Vergil, she punched forwards and fired a fist-sized beam of flame that slammed into the Fake Kamen Rider and sent him flying backwards.

Now they were getting somewhere.

Off to the side, Kamen Rider Grimm had recovered and switched the Shimmer Speed Whistle for a white Whistle with a cat logo on the front of it. She slammed it into the Aura Knuckle. [C-O-P-Y C-A-T!] The Grimm slammed the Aura Knuckle into the Grimm Driver. [R-E-A-D-Y!] A black cat logo with white outlines appeared in front of the Aura Knuckle before it started to spin. [F-I-S-T O-N!] The hologram shot forwards and transformed into a pair of holographic boots, gloves, forearm armour and shin guards. Then they moved back and slammed into Grimm, turning solid. Her forearm guards, shin armour, the armour on the back of her gloves and boots turned white with black outlines. 

Suddenly, the cross on the faceplate glowed and transformed. It separated into four pieces, revealing a pair of red circle-shaped visors. Two pieces of the crosses moved under the visors while the other two pieces moved above the visors.

She was now Kamen Rider Grimm Beowulf CopyCat Tune.

She pressed down on the Beowulf Whistle and punched the Aura Knuckle into the Grimm Driver. [B-E-O-W-U-L-F! B-I-T-I-N-G!] The Beowulf Claws appeared as she dashed forwards and slashed at the Fake Kamen Rider Vergil’s backplate. Sparks exploded from the six black cuts she sliced into the backplate.

The Fake Kamen Rider Vergil roared as he pressed the first button on the Space Katana. [ONE!] Silver magical energy coated both the Space Katana and the Space Yamato Katana. [KATANA STRIKE! NOW!] Then he spun around and unleashed a barrage of slashes against Grimm.

But she had seen this coming and pressed the CopyCat Whistle once before slamming the Aura Knuckle into the Grimm Driver. [C-O-P-Y!] She jumped backwards and a copy of herself made of fire appeared in front of her. The second the Fake Kamen Rider Vergil’s swords touched it, the clone exploded, sending him flying towards Weapon.

Kamen Rider Weapon pressed the Ember Celica Whistle twice before slamming the Dust Knuckle into the Weapon Driver. [M-E-L-E-E M-O-D-E!] Yellow armour appeared in front of the Ember Celica Gauntlets as they converted into melee mode. Weapon pulled back her left fist and punched the Fake Kamen Rider Vergil, reversing his course and sending him shooting back towards Grimm. 

The Fake Kamen Rider Vergil snarled as he slammed both of his swords together at the hilt. [YES! KATANA STRIKE!] Silver magical energy covered the two swords as he started to spin around. [UNDERSTAND?!] The Fake Kamen Rider Vergil spun so fast that he was a blur with the tips of his blades being a ring of silver light around him. “Rapid Slash!” he yelled as he neared Grimm.

Who pressed the CopyCat Whistle once more and slammed the Aura Knuckle into the Grimm Driver. [C-O-P-Y!] A clone of water appeared in front of her, taking the blow as Grimm backflipped away. The second the attack hit it, the clone transformed into chains of water that tied the Fake Kamen Rider Vergil’s arms to his sides.

“What the-?!” he shouted as he struggled to break the chains.

Weapon pressed the Ember Celica Whistle three times and then slammed the Dust Knuckle into the Weapon Driver. [E-M-B-E-R C-E-L-I-C-A R-I-S-E U-P!] She burst into flames as she charged at the Fake Kamen Rider Vergil. A massive amount of fire was focused into her right Ember Celica Gauntlet as she pulled it back and slammed it into the Fake Kamen Rider Fire. He could not even shout in pain as a beam of red energy burst from his chestplate. Sparks bleed from the entrance and exit points as he was sent flying. He slammed into a wall, causing it to break apart and fall on him with a loud boom.

Sunset blinked. “It looks like I was not even needed,” she commented dumbly at the sight.

“I wasn’t supposed to be this way,” the Fake Kamen Rider Vergil staggered out of the wall. “How are a bunch of extras giving a boss character like me so much trouble?!” he demanded in anger.

“Ok,” blinked Sunset. “Now I know that you're not Vergil.”

The Fake Kamen Rider Vergil equipped the Gravity Ring and pressed his Wizard Driver’s right Shift Lever before scanning the Gravity Ring over his Wizard Driver’s Hand Author. [GRAVITY TRIGGER!] He held his right glove down to the ground as the gravity magic circle appeared under his boots. [NOW!] It moved up through him and transformed him into the Angel Gravity Style.

“Oh nuts,” muttered Sunset.

The Fake Kamen Rider Vergil pressed the first button on the Space Gravity Katana. [ONE!] Red energy ran through the Space Gravity Katana and the Yamato Gravity Katana. [GRAVITY KATANA STRIKE! NOW!] The Fake Kamen Rider Vergil dashed forwards and delivered a barrage of slashes that Kamen Rider Weapon had no chance to defend against. Sparks exploded off her body as she staggered back from the amount of damage that she took.

Kamen Rider Grimm hit the Beowulf Whistle twice then she slammed the Aura Knuckle into the Grimm Driver. [B-E-O-W-U-L-F! T-E-A-R-I-N-G!] Her legs were covered in white and black mist as she darted forwards, pulling the Beowulf Claws back to skewer the Fake Kamen Rider Vergil.

But he simply pressed the second button on the Space Gravity Katana. [TWO!] Both of his sword were covered in silver magical energy as he held them parallel to each other. [GRAVITY KATANA STRIKE! NOW!] He spun around, ducking under the Beowulf Claws and slashing Kamen Rider Grimm across the waist with both of the swords. Sparks exploded out of the silver cut that Grimm had across her waist now as she fell over.

“Ok,” Sunset had to blink at how fast the battle had turned around. “Looks like I am going to have to step in,” she pulled herself to her feet. 

The Fake Kamen Rider Vergil pulled back both of his sword as he aimed to stab them through Grimm.

“Hey!” shouted Sunset’s voice.

The Fake Kamen Rider Vergil turned to see her approaching.

“How about you pick on someone else?” shouted Sunset.

“Finally, we get to the main act,” stated the Fake Vergil.

“Mistress,” spoke Lyra's voice from Kamen Rider Grimm.

“We will not fail you,” added Gilda’s voice from Kamen Rider Weapon.

“You two, or four, that’s going to great confusing really fast, take a break,” ordered Sunset as she held her Driver On Ring over her belt buckle. [DRIVER ON!] The magic circle appeared. [PLEASE!] It transformed her belt buckle into her Wizard Driver.

“But,” protested Lightning Dust’s voice.

“That’s an order!” snapped out Sunset.

“Yes Mistress,” confirmed four voices.

Sunset pressed her Wizard Driver’s left Shift Lever. [TOUCH TO ADVANCE YOUR CLASS!] Then she scanned her left glove and the Advance Ring over her Wizard Driver’s Hand Author. [ADVANCE PLEASE!] Sunset held her left glove out in front of her and the advance magic circle appeared before moving back through her. Transforming Sunset Shimmer Sparda into Kamen Rider Symbol Advance Style.

Symbol held her right glove into the air. “Come! Advance Timer!” she ordered. The Crow Phantom shot out of the sky and slammed into her right glove in a flash of light. [ADVANCE TIME!] When the light cleared the Advance Timer was revealed. Symbol reached up and turned the dial around one full twist. [SET UP!] “Its showtime,” stated Symbol as she hit the Dragon Timer’s Hand Author’s thumb. [START!] The Advance Timer’s first clock hand started moving.

She pressed her Wizard Driver’s left Shift Lever twice. [TOUCH TO CAST THE NEXT LEVEL!] Before scanning the Advance Ring over her Wizard Driver’s Hand Author as she dashed forwards. [ADVANCE B TIER SPELL!] Then the emitters on her body lit up and magical energy gathered around her right elbow. She zipped forwards and slammed her elbow into the gut of the Fake Kamen Rider Vergil.

He snarled as he pressed the third button on the Space Gravity Katana. [THREE!] Silver and golden magical energy flowed with both of the sword as the Fake Kamen Rider Vergil dashed forwards and started to spin. [GRAVITY KATANA STRIKE! NOW!] Silver and golden wind covered him and he jumped into the air and the wind pulled Symbol up into the air, letting him slash her several times, sparks exploded out of the dozen of cuts Symbol received.

The Fake Kamen Ride Vergil switched the Angel Ring for the Demon Ring while he was still in the air, before hitting his Wizard Driver’s left Shift Lever and scanning his left glove over his Wizard Driver’s Hand Author. [DEMON STYLE!] Then he held his left glove down to the ground as the demon magic circle appeared under his boots. [NOW!] Then it rose up through him, transforming the Fake Kamen Rider Vergil into the Gravity Demon Style.

While he was still in the air, he pressed the second button on the Space Yamato Gravity Katana. [TWO!] Golden magical energy leaked out of the sword and into his right boot as he went shooting down through the air. [GRAVITY KATANA STRIKE! NOW!] The Fake Kamen Rider Vergil, extended his right boot out as it glowed with golden magical energy. It slammed into Symbol’s chestplate and sent her flying backwards with sparks exploding out of the impact point.

“Is that all?” asked the Fake Kamen Rider Vergil as he landed back on the ground. “The way you were talking, you thought you had more of a chance against me than they did,” he pointed to Kamen Rider Grimm and Kamen Rider Weapon.

“I do,” replied Symbol as the Advance Timer reached the red section. She hit the Advance Timer’s Hand Author’s thumb. [BREAKER ADVANCE!] The Breaker magic circle appeared behind the Fake Kamen Rider Vergil and the Advance Breaker Energy Clone jumped out of it.

She hit her Wizard Driver’s left Shift Lever once. [TOUCH TO CAST THE NEXT LEVEL!] Then she scanned her left glove over her Wizard Driver’s Hand Author as her emitters started to generate red energy. [ADVANCE BREAKER C TIER SPELL!] It wrapped around her right glove as she curled it into a fist and threw it forwards.

Only for the Fake Kamen Rider Vergil to press the first button on the Space Yamato Gravity Katana. [ONE!] Golden magical energy flowed out of the Gravity Ring and into the Space Yamato Gravity Katana. [GRAVITY KATANA STRIKE! NOW!] The Fake Kamen Rider Vergil used the sword to deflect the punch and slashed Advance Breaker with a pair of slow but hard slashes. Two golden lines were cut into her chest plate and sparks exploded out of them.

Symbol pressed her Wizard Driver’s left Shift Lever once. [TOUCH TO CAST THE NEXT LEVEL!] Then she scanned her left glove over her Wizard Driver’s Hand Author as the emitters on her body started to shine. [ADVANCE C TIER SPELL!] Yellow energy gathered around her left glove as Symbol turned it into a fist and pulled it back. “Ha!” then she punched forwards, firing a fist-sized beam at the Fake Kamen Rider Vergil.

Who saw it coming and pressed the second button on the Space Yamato Gravity Katana. [TWO!] Golden magical energy from the Gravity Ring covered his right boot as he dashed towards the beam. [GRAVITY KATANA STRIKE! NOW!] Then he leaped into a flying kick and tore through the beam with his energized boot. The beam was forced back until the Fake Kamen Riders Vergil’s boot made contact with Symbol’s chest plate. Sparks came from the impact point as she was sent flying backwards.

Advance Breaker had gotten back up and hit her Wizard Driver’s left Shift Lever three times as she jumped into the air. [TOUCH TO CAST THE NEXT LEVEL!] She held her left glove over her Wizard Driver’s Hand Author as the emitters started to produce energy. [ADVANCE BREAKER A TIER SPELL!] Which wrapped around her right glove as she went shooting down and threw a downwards punch at the Fake Kamen Rider Vergil.

He pressed the fourth button on the Space Yamato Gravity Katana. [FOUR!] Golden magical energy covered the tip of the sword as the Fake Kamen Rider Vergil took it in both gloves. [GRAVITY KATANA STRIKE! NOW!] Then he drove the tip of the sword into the ground. A circle of golden magical energy exploded out of the ground, with him in the centre. It slammed into Advance Breaker and sent her flying backwards with sparks coming from all over her body.

Symbol got back up and pressed her Wizard Driver’s left Shift Lever three times as she charged. [TOUCH TO CAST THE NEXT LEVEL!] The emitters on her body started to glow as she scanned her left glove over her Wizard Driver’s Hand Author. [ADVANCE A TIER SPELL!] Yellow magical energy covered both of her fist as she threw a punch at the Fake Kamen Rider Vergil.

He pressed the first button on the Space Yamato Gravity Katana. [ONE!] Golden energy coated both sides of the blade. [GRAVITY KATANA STRIKE! NOW!] The Fake Kamen Rider Vergil blocked Symbol’s punch, then he deflected the second punch, forcing her fist upwards as he swung his blade down, cutting a glowing line through the centre of her chest plate. “I am still not seeing how you have a chance,” he mocked as he drew back his sword for a stab.

At that moment the Advance Timer reached the blue section.

Symbol did not give the Fake Kamen Rider Vergil and answer. Instead, she opted to give him a physical one by hitting the Advance Timer’s Hand Author’s thumb once more. [BLOCKER ADVANCE!] The blocker magic circle appeared in the air as the Advance Blocker Energy Clone appeared out of it.

Advance Blocker hit her Wizard Driver’s left Shift Lever once. [TOUCH TO CAST THE NEXT LEVEL!] Then she scanned her left glove over her Wizard Driver’s Hand Author. The emitters on her body started to shine as the Space Yamato Gravity Katana approached Symbol. [ADVANCE BLOCKER C TIER SPELL!] A square-shaped shield appeared in front of Symbol, blocking the sword.

“What-?!” shouted the Fake Kamen Rider Vergil as the shield exploded, sending him flying backwards.

Advance Breaker pressed her Wizard Driver’s left Shift Lever twice. [TOUCH TO CAST THE NEXT LEVEL!] Then she scanned her left glove over her Wizard Driver’s Hand Author as the emitters on her body started to emit red magical energy. [ADVANCE BREAKER B TIER SPELL!] It gathered around her left fist as she threw an uppercut that sent the Fake Kamen Rider Vergil into the air.

Symbol noticed this and pressed her Wizard Driver’s left Shift Lever twice. [TOUCH TO CAST THE NEXT LEVEL!] Then she scanned her left glove over her Wizard Driver’s Hand Author as the emitters started to generate yellow magical energy. [ADVANCE B TIER SPELL!] It gathered around her right elbow as Symbol blurred above the Fake Kamen Rider Vergil, driving her energized elbow into his gut and sending him shooting back into the ground.

“Ok,” the Fake Kamen Rider Vergil pulled himself out of the crater his impact had made. “Let’s change things up a little,” he switched the Demon Ring for the Angel Ring and pressed his Wizard Driver’s left Shift Lever before scanning his left glove over his Wizard Driver’s Hand Author. [ANGEL STYLE!] He held his left glove into the air and the angel magic circle appeared. [NOW!] Then it fell through him, transforming him into the Angel Gravity Style.

Then he pressed the first button on the Space Gravity Katana. [ONE!] Silver magical energy coated both of his blades as the Fake Kamen Rider Vergil charged at Symbol. [GRAVITY KATANA STRIKE! NOW!] He unleashed a barrage of slashes against her before kicking her backwards and sparks exploded from the millions of tiny cuts she had just been dealt.

Advance Breaker saw this and pressed her Wizard Driver’s left Shift Lever four times. [TOUCH TO CAST THE NEXT LEVEL! VERY NICE!] A storm of yellow and red magical energy erupted from the emitters after she scanned her left glove across her Wizard Driver’s Hand Author. [ADVANCE BREAKER S TIER SPELL! THE BEST!] She held her left glove into the air and clenched it into a fist as the energy gathered around it. Then she pulled back her left fist as she charged at the Fake Kamen Rider Vergil.

But he pressed the second button on the Space Gravity Katana. [TWO!] Golden and silver magical energy flowed into both of the swords as he held them parallel to each other and to the ground. [GRAVITY KATANA STRIKE! NOW!] Then the Fake Kamen Rider Vergil spun around and slashed in a circle, cutting two glowing silver lines into Advance Breaker’s abs, making sparks explode from them.

Then he turned and charged at Advance Blocker, pressing the third button on the Space Gravity Katana. [THREE!] Golden and silver magical energy flowed into both of the swords as the Fake Kamen Rider Vergil started to spin. [GRAVITY KATANA STRIKE! NOW!]

Symbol got back up as the Advance Timer’s first clock hand reached the green section. Seeing Advance Blocker in danger, she pressed the Advance Timer’s Hand Author’s thumb. [BOUNDER ADVANCE!] The bounder magic circle appeared to the right of Advance Blocker and the Advance Bounder Energy clone burst out of it.

She pressed her Wizard Driver’s left Shift Lever once. [TOUCH TO CAST THE NEXT LEVEL!] Then she swiped her left glove over her Wizard Driver’s Hand Author as green magical energy emerged from her emitters. [ADVANCE BOUNDER C TIER SPELL!] It gathered around her left glove as she pulled it back and punched the Fake Kamen Rider Vergil across the faceplate.

“DIE!” unlike the real Vergil, who would have said this in a venomous monotone, the Fake Kamen Rider Vergil shouted it out in a livid roar. He pressed the fourth button on the Space Gravity Katana as he jumped into the air. [FOUR!] Silver magical energy covered both of the sword as he started to spin, becoming nothing but a blur as he shot down toward Advance Bounder. [GRAVITY KATANA STRIKE! NOW!]

Advance Blocker pressed her Wizard Driver’s left Shift Lever twice. [TOUCH TO CAST THE NEXT LEVEL!] Then she scanned her left glove over her Wizard Driver’s Hand Author as her emitters lit up with blue magical energy. [ADVANCE BLOCKER B TIER SPELL!] It gathered in front of Advance Blocker as a shield in the shape of a circle. Sparks flew as the Fake Kamen Rider Vergil slashed into it while still spinning. Cracks started to appear in the shield.

Advance Breaker leapt towards the Fake Kamen Rider Vergil from the left as she pressed her Wizard Driver’s left Shift Lever once. [TOUCH TO CAST THE NEXT LEVEL!] Then she scanned her left glove over her Wizard Driver’s Hand Author as her emitters lit up with red magical energy. [ADVANCE BREAKER C TIER SPELL!] It gathered around her right fist as she pulled it back.

Meanwhile, Symbol leapt at the Fake Kamen Rider Vergil from the right as she struck her Wizard Driver’s left Shift Lever three times. [TOUCH TO CAST THE NEXT LEVEL!] Then she scanned her left glove over her Wizard Driver’s Hand Author as her emitters lit up with yellow energy. [ADVANCE A TIER SPELL!] It gathered around her left fist as she threw it forwards.

The Fake Kamen Rider Vergil was jerked to the left as Advance Breaker’s fist slammed into his cheek guard. Then he was jerked to the right as Symbol’s fist slammed into his opposite cheek guard.

He was sent flying through the air and slammed into the ground with a loud boom, kicking up and dust cloud.

“Mistress is strong,” observed Lightning Dust’s voice from Kamen Rider Weapon.

“Correct,” replied Bon Bon’s voice from Kamen Rider Grimm.

At that moment the Advance Timer’s first clock hand reached the purple section. Symbol hit the Advance Timer’s Hand Author’s thumb. [BLASTER ADVANCE!] The blaster magic circle appeared and the Advance Blaster Energy Clone jumped out of it.

Then she pressed her Wizard Driver’s left Shift Lever. [TOUCH TO CAST THE NEXT LEVEL!] She scanned her left glove across her Wizard Driver’s Hand Author as her emitters started to produce purple magical energy. [ADVANCE BLASTER C TIER SPELL!] Then she threw her gloves forwards as six orbs of purple magical energy winked in around her and shot forwards, slamming into the Fake Kamen Rider Vergil. He was sent flying backwards from the force of the attack.

Advance Bounder pressed her Wizard Driver’s left Shift Lever three times. [TOUCH TO CAST THE NEXT LEVEL!] Her emitters started to glow with green magical energy that wrapped around her body after she scanned her left glove over her Wizard Driver’s Hand Author. [ADVANCE BOUNDER A TIER SPELL!] She shot forwards and shoulder tackled the Fake Kamen Rider Vergil.

Advance Bounder was in the path of the Fake Kamen Rider Vergil, she pressed her Wizard Driver’s left Shift Lever three times. [TOUCH TO CAST THE NEXT LEVEL!] Then she scanned her left glove over her Wizard Driver’s Hand Author as the emitters shone with blue magical energy. [ADVANCE BLOCKER A TIER SPELL!] Which wrapped around her in an aura, she ran forwards and slammed her fist into the Fake Kamen Rider Vergil’s faceplate. Right as her fist made contact, she dispelled the aura in a pulse of blue energy that sent the Fake Kamen Rider flying towards Advance Breaker.

Who pressed her Wizard Driver’s left Shift Lever three times. [TOUCH TO CAST THE NEXT LEVEL!] Then she scanned her left glove across her Wizard Driver’s Hand Author as the emitters released red magical energy. [ADVANCE BREAKER A TIER SPELL!] It gathered around her fists as she clasped them together and slammed them down, hammering the Fake Kamen Rider Vergil into the ground.

“Final!” Symbol jumped into the air as she hit her Wizard Driver’s left Shift Lever four times. [TOUCH TO CAST THE NEXT LEVEL! VERY NICE!] Then she scanned her left glove over her Wizard Driver’s Hand Author as her emitters released a storm of yellow magical energy. [ADVANCE S TIER SPELL! THE BEST!] It wrapped around her boots as she pointed them downwards and went shooting towards the Fake Kamen Rider Vergil. “Advance Impact!” she slammed both of her boots into the Fake Kamen Rider driving him even deeper into the ground.

Symbol got off her fallen opponent and started walking towards Kamen Rider’s Grimm and Weapon.

“It wasn’t supposed to be like this,” growled a voice.

Symbol turned around to see the Fake Kamen Rider Vergil getting back up. “I recommend you stay down,” she ordered.

The Fake Kamen Rider Vergil snarled as he switched the Gravity Ring for the Thunder Ring, before pressing his Wizard Driver’s right Shift Lever and scanning his right glove over his Wizard Driver’s Hand Author. THUNDER TRIGGER!] He held his right glove up as the thunder magic circle appeared and fell down through him. [NOW!] Transforming him into the Thunder Double Angel Style as his Doppelganger appeared beside him.

“Oh this is bad,” muttered Symbol. Vergil’s three Gravity Style’s were made for attacking opponents with a lot of armour, but they were really bad at fighting multiple opponents. Vergil’s Thunder Style’s were the other way around.

Vergil switched the Angel Ring on his left index finger for a Nephilim Ring, then he pressed his Wizard Driver’s left Shift Lever before scanning his left glove over his Wizard Driver’s Hand Author. [NEPHILIM STYLE!] He held his left glove out in front of him as his Nephilim magic circle appeared. [NOW!] It moved back through him, transforming him into the Thunder Nephilim Style.

He was in front of Symbol before she had time to react and pressed the first button on the Thunder Space Sheath. [ONE!] Green magical energy flowed into the Thunder Yamato Katana as he grabbed its hilt. [THUNDER KATANA STRIKE! NOW!] The Fake Kamen Rider Vergil drew the Thunder Yamato Katana and slashed Symbol across the chest plate in the same movement. Sparks exploded from the green cut she now had in her chest plate as she fell to her knees.

Seconds later, Advance Bounder landed a short distance away with sparks coming from a black mark in her chest plate.

Then he switched the Angel Ring on his left ring finger for a Demon Ring. He pressed his Wizard Driver’s left Shift Lever once, then he scanned his left glove over his Wizard Driver’s Hand Author. [DEMON STYLE!] A flash of golden light off to the side indicated his Doppelganger changing forms. [NOW!]

Several seconds later, Advance Blocker was sent flying by Vergil’s Doppelganger.

Advance Breaker saw this and pressed her Wizard Driver’s left Shift Lever once. [TOUCH TO CAST THE NEXT LEVEL!] Then she scanned her left glove over her Wizard Driver’s Hand Author as the emitters on her body made red magical energy. [ADVANCE BREAKER C TIER SPELL!] The energy gathered around her right fist as she charged towards the Fake Kamen Rider Vergil.

He replied to the threat by switching the Nephilim Ring on his left index finger for a Demon Ring and pressing his Wizard Driver’s left Shift Lever before scanning his left glove over his Wizard Driver’s Hand Author. [DEMON STYLE!] The Fake Kamen Rider Vergil held his right glove down to the ground as the demon magic circle appeared under his boots. [NOW!] It rose up through him, transforming him into the Thunder Demon Style, as well as knocking Advance Breaker away.

Instead of attacking the Fake Kamen Rider Vergil switched the Demon Ring on his ring finger for a Nephilim Ring and hit his Wizard Driver’s left Shift Lever once before scanning his left glove over his Wizard Driver’s Hand Author. [NEPHILIM STYLE!] A flash of red and blue light off to the side showed that his Doppelganger had switched forms once again. [NOW!]

The Fake Kamen Rider Vergil jumped into the air and pressed his the second button on the Thunder Space Yamato Katana. [TWO!] Green magical energy covered his right boot as he went shooting down towards Advance Breaker with a flying kick. [THUNDER KATANA STRIKE! NOW!] The kick slammed into Advance Breaker and sent her flying backwards and a blackened mark on her chest plate.

Seconds later, Advance Blaster landed on the ground next to them with several cracks in her armour.

The Fake Kamen Rider Vergil and his Doppelganger approached them.

Suddenly, they were forced to jump away as the ground in front of them exploded.

Grimm and Weapon jumped down in front of Symbol and her Advance Clones.

“We shall give you time to recover mistress,” stated Gilda’s voice from Kamen Rider Weapon.

“As you did us,” added Lyra’s voice from Kamen Rider Grimm.

They both took their Knuckles off their Drivers and punched them together. [R-E-A-D-Y!] The knuckles each let out an alarm sound as a hologram of a fist appeared in front of them. The hologram in front of the Dust Knuckle was white, while the hologram in front of the Aura Knuckle was black. The two of them moved in front of each other and started to spin, they shot forwards and transformed into a holographic suit of armour that was a mixture of white and black. It slammed into Grimm and Weapon, combining them into a single Kamen Rider.

She wore a black bodysuit with attached black gloves and boots. Her helmet was white with a black line cutting vertically through the back of it. In the centre of her faceplate was a yellow cross with a red horizontal visor cutting through it that bent downwards into a U shape in the centre. Her chestplate was in the shape of a white kite shield with black outlines and the image of a black wolf head in the centre of it. Two squares were connected to the side of the chest plate, they were coloured yellow and were under her armpits. Her shoulder guards were red and covered the area between her shoulders and neck, they were connected around her neck forming an armoured collar. Her forearm armour was shaped like a pair of three D rectangles and coloured red with the blockly armour on the back of her gloves being the same colour. Her skintight thigh armour, three D rectangle shin armour and blockly boot armour were all coloured white with black outlines.

Around her waist was a black belt with a black block in the centre of it. On the left side of the block was a red and golden circle shaped light with five white and golden lines coming out of it and moving towards the right side, making the block look like a pair of fists. Connected to the right side of the Driver was a Fist that was white with white red and golden lines coming from the right side of it to the left side, they linked up with the lines on the Driver. These are the Ozma Knuckle and Salem Driver. They each had a pair of slots in the top of them. The left slot of the Salem Driver had a red whistle with a black scythe logo in it while the other slot had the Beowulf Whistle in it. The right slot of the Ozma Knuckle had a green whistle with a wind logo in it, while the other slot had the Shimmer Speed Whistle inserted into it.

At that moment the cross opened and separated into four pieces. The bottom two moving under her circle shaped visors, the left one being red and the other being blue, while the other two pieces moved above her visors.

She is Kamen Rider Reamant Speed Tune!

“So they really can combine into a single Kamen Rider,” whispered Symbol in awe at this sight.

Remnant pressed the Beowulf Whistle and the other Whistle in the Salem Driver before slamming the Ozma Knuckle into the Salem Driver. [B-E-O-W-U-L-F! B-I-T-I-N-G!] [S-C-Y-T-H-E!] She held out her right glove and a red reaper scythe appeared. It had three white blades, side by side with red veins cutting through them and white highlights outlined the blades. Remnant dashed forwards at high speeds as she brought the scythe around to cut into the Fake Kamen Rider Vergil.

As this was going on, Symbol heard a voice speak up. “Mistress.”

“Who said that?” demanded Symbol as she looked around.

“Down here!” came the voice, from her right arm.

Symbol looked down and jumped in shock when she saw the Crow Bit Phantom staring back at her from the dial of the Advance Timer. “What the heck-?!” she shouted in pure shock.

“What are you so shocked about?” asked the Advance Timer.

“I didn’t know that you could still talk to me like this!” defended Symbol.

“All Phantoms arms can combinate with their owner. Unless the owner orders them not to,” came the reply.

“Phantom Arm?” asked Symbol.

“That is when a Phantom is transformed into a weapon. Either by losing a fight or by transforming voluntary,” explained the Crow Bit Phantom from the Advance Timer.

“Ok,” replied Symbol as she filled that information away in the correct places. “Wait does that mean?” she thought back to all of the Rings she had collected.

“That all of the Rings you have collected are Phantom Arms?” asked the Crow Bit Phantom. “Yes, they are.”

“Now what do you want?” asked Symbol.

“Well that was rude,” complained the Crow Bit Phantom from within the Advance Timer.

“Sorry, but I’m kind of busy trying to avoid being killed by a launtic version of my brother,” snarked back Symbol.

“Well, when you put it that way. I guess that is the only way to react,” replied the Crow Bit Phantom from within the Advance Timer.

“Right, now I ask again: What do you want?” demanded Symbol.

“Why are you still fighting?” asked the Crow Bit Phantom.

Symbol stared at him. “What is that supposed to mean?!” 

“Exactly what is sounds like,” shot back the Advance Timer.

“I want to see pigs fly,” shouted Symbol.

“Really?” asked the Crow Bit Phantom.

“Of course not!” shouted Symbol.

The Crow Bit Phantom winced.

“I don’t want to die! Why do you think I’m still fighting?!” demanded Symbol.

“Not him! Against me!” shouted the Crow Bit Phantom.

That brought Symbol up short. “What do you mean?” she asked.

“There are five types of Phantom Arms: Storage, Boost, Armed, Intelligence and Unison,” explained the Crow Bit Phantom. “With me so far?”

Symbol nodded.

“Storage Phantom Arms are made from Boss Level Phantoms, but have no mind of their own once they have undergone the transformation process as the Phantom they were made from has only been a Phantom for less than five hundred years. While their Phantom powers remain within the Phantom Arm, their body and mind is returned to their home dimension when the Kamen Rider defeats them. Your Rings are prime examples of these.”

“Ok,” nodded Symbol.

“Boost Phantom Arms are made from Phantoms that have been Phantoms for between one thousand and three thousand years. They boost one aspect of their wielders powers and nothing else. Your Brother's Arbiter Axe, Osiris Scythe, Aquila Stars and Eryx Gauntlets fall under this category.”

“But the first two belong to Dad and Mom, while the other two were over a thousand?” asked Symbol.

“The Arbiter Axe was a Phantom that accompanied Wiseman to kill your parents and was only about two hundred and twenty years old. The Osiris Scythe was a Gem Maiden that your mother had fought the day before, giving away their location. The Succubus was a female Phantom and they are always very weak as their main purpose is to breed. Finally, Bob was not much of a fighter as most of his opponents would have to make it through his prison first,” the Crow Bit Phantom.

“Got it,” nodded Symbol.

“Next we have the Armed Phantom Arms,” explained the Crow Bit Phantom. “They take on the forms of weapons and are made from Phantoms that partly wanted to stay as Phantoms, even after being freed from the Hive Mind.”

Symbol cut him off. “Why would anyone want to stay as a Phantom?!” she demanded.

“Some for power, some have lost too much and some want a purpose in life,” explained the Crow Bit Phantom. “Their consciousness is divided in two, their human form and mind are sent back to their home dimension. While their Phantom body and the part of their mind that wanted to stay are transformed into the Armed Phantom Arm. As a result, this class of Phantom Arm has some rudimentary intelligence. Your brothers Rebellion Blade and Yamato Katana are examples of this.”

“I always had a feeling those swords were watching me,” muttered Symbol.

“The next class of Phantoms Arms as Intelligence Phantom Arms,” continued the Crow Bit Phantom. “They are can only be made from Phantoms that wished to continue being Phantoms, fully. I am one such Phantom Arm.”

“Lucky you,” replied Symbol.

“The final class is Unison Phantom Arms. They are made from Phantoms that wished to remain Phantoms and can assume a humanoid form at will.”

“Nice,” replied Symbol.

“Sunset, the upper three Phantoms Arms link with their owners,” explained the Crow Bit Phantom. “The Armed Phantom Arms can handle a partial link, but the Intelligence and Unison Phantom Arms need a full link to use their full power.”

Symbol was silent.

“You might have noticed that my Phantom Arm form has three clock hands, you have reached the end of the first hand, now if you want the second hand to start then you need to drop your barriers,” implored the Crow Bit Phantom.

Symbol was still silent.

“Sunset-” began the Crow Bit Phantom.

“Crow,” interrupted Sunset.

“Yes?” replied the Cow Bit Phantom.

“I’m sorry,” with that Symbol took the biggest risk she had ever taken. 

She dropped her mental barriers.

[ADVANCE WEAPON! TIME!] shouted the Advance Timer as its second clock hand started to tick.

At that moment the Fake Kamen Rider Vergil pressed the first button on the Thunder Space Sheath. [ONE!] Green energy surged into the Thunder Yamato Katana as the Fake Kamen Rider Vergil slid his left glove over the Thunder Space Sheath. [YES! THUNDER KATANA STRIKE!] A huge amount of green magical energy was pulled into the Thunder Yamato Katana. [UNDERSTAND?!] Vergil gripped his sword’s handle. [THUNDER KATANA STRIKE! NOW!] Then he slashed forwards, cutting into Kamen Rider Remnant over a hundred times in less than a second. 

Sparks exploded from her chest plate as Reamant staggered backwards.

Right into the path of the Fake Kamen Rider Vergil’s Doppelganger.

He pressed the first button on the Thunder Space Yamato Katana. [ONE!] Green magical energy was pulled into the sword as he ran his left glove over the flat side of it. [YES! THUNDER KATANA STRIKE!] The Doppelganger gripped the sword in both gloves as he pulled it back. [UNDERSTAND?!] The Thunder Space Yamato Katana blazed as he swung it around. [THUNDER KATANA STRIKE! NOW!] There was a burst of green lightning as it slammed into Kamen Rider Remeant’s chest plate. Sparks exploded from the glowing green cut as she fell to her knees. 

Then, in a flash of light, her transformation broke down completely. When the light cleared, Lightning Dust, Gilda, Lyra and Bon Bon were lying on the ground. They were all knocked out from the amount of damage they had taken as Kamen Rider’s Grimm, Weapon and Remeant.

At that moment the Advance Timer’s second clock hand reached the red zone. Symbol noticed this and hit the Advance Timer’s Hand Author’s thumb. [BREAKER SWORD!] The advance magic circle appeared in front of Advance Breaker.

She reached into it and pulled out a red long sword that had a pair of revolver barrels in the centre of it. The handle was grey, as were the revolver barrels. On the handle was three triggers. This is the Advance Sword.

Advance Breaker ran forwards as the Fake Kamen Rider Vergil and his Doppelganger approach the downed combatants and spun the Active Barrels, the bottom on displayed a purple boot, while the top one showed a grey kite shield. Advance Breaker pressed the third trigger as grey energy surrounded the Breaker Sword and purple energy covered her boots. [BREAKER MATCH SLASHING STRIKE!] She slammed her boots into the ground and jumped high into the air, landing in front of the deformphed Kamen Riders as she stabbed the Breaker Sword into the ground. This action summoned a kite shield construct that blocked the Fake Kamen Rider Vergil and his Doppelganger from approaching.

Then she jumped over the shield and spun the Active Barrels once more. The bottom one landed on a trio of green claws, while the upper barrel showed an orb of water. Advance Breaker pressed the trigger. [BREAKER MATCH SLASHING STRIKE!] Three claws made of water appeared around the Advance Sword as Advance Breaker dashed forwards and slashed the Fake Kamen Rider Vergil twice across the chestplate. Or at least she would have if his Doppelganger had not moved in to take the blow for its master.

The Doppelganger jumped into the air as the Fake Kamen Rider Vergil pressed the third button on the Thunder Space Sheath. [THREE!] Green lightning was fed into the Thunder Yamato Katana within its holder. [THUNDER KATANA STRIKE! NOW!] He drew his sword and slashed upwards, aiming to send Advance Breaker flying into the air.

She quickly turned the second Active Barrel so that it displayed the defend magic circle and pressed the second trigger on the Breaker Sword. [BREAKER SLASHING STRIKE!] Green energy covered the sword as she held it vertical, deflecting the fake Kamen Rider Vergil’s slash. 

But she had forgotten about his Doppelganger, who pressed the third button on the Thunder Space Yamato Katana. [THREE!] Green magical energy came from the sword and surrounded his right boot. [THUNDER KATANA STRIKE! NOW!] The clone went shooting down and slammed his boot into Advance Breaker’s left shoulder pauldron. Sparks exploded from the impact and the Breaker Sword flew from her grip.

The Fake Kamen Rider Vergil ran at the downed clone as he slid his left glove over the back of the Thunder Space Sheath. [YES! THUNDER KATANA STRIKE!] Green lightning roared around the Sheath. [UNDERSTAND?!] The Fake Kamen Rider Vergil drew the Thunder Yamato Katana and slashed upwards with green lightning trailing behind the sharp-as-hell katana.

Advance Breaker was unable to block as she was still recovering from that hit.

At that moment the Advance Timer’s second clock hand reached the blue section. “Blocker, Go!” shouted Symbol as she hit the Advance Timer’s Hand Author’s thumb. [BLOCKER SWORD!]

Advance Blocker darted forwards and swiped her left glove through the blocker magic circle. She pulled out a blue boardsword with a grey handle. In the centre of the blade was a pair of revolver barrels called the Giga Barrels, each had three magic circles on them and on the handle was three triggers.

She spun the bottom Giga Barrel until it stopped on the hammer magic circle and pulled the trigger. [BLOCKER SLASHING STRIKE!] Advance Blocker swung the blade down and deflected the upwards swing from the Fake Kamen Rider Vergil.

“What?!” he shouted as he stumbled backwards from the force of the slash.

“Separate them!” ordered Symbol from the sidelines. 

Advance Breaker spun the upper Active Barrel until it stopped on the aqua magic circle, then she pulled the Breaker Blade’s first trigger. [BREAKER SLASHING STRIKE!] Blue magical energy covered the Breaker Blade as she swung it around in a horizontal arc. Firing a horizontal crescent of blue water at the Fake Kamen Rider Vergil and his Doppelganger, forcing them to jump apart.

Advance Blocker charged at the Fake Kamen Rider Vergil’s Doppelganger as she spun the upper Giga Barrel until it stopped on the drill magic circle, then she pulled the Blocker Sword’s first trigger. [BLOCKER SLASHING STRIKE!] Blue magical energy covered the Blocker Sword, then it started to spin like a drill before Advance Blocker stabbed forwards with it.

Only for the Doppelganger to jump into the air and press the fifth button on the Thunder Space Yamato Katana. [FIVE!] Golden magical energy covered the sword as the Doppelganger pulled it back. [THUNDER KATANA STRIKE! NOW!] Then she swung it down, firing a spinning sword construct of golden energy at Advance Blocker.

She responded by spinning the bottom Giga Barrel until it stopped on the bombardment magic circle, then she pulled the second trigger of the Blocker Sword. [BLOCKER SLASHING STRIKE!] Blade magical energy covered the sword as she swung it downwards. It hit the ground and a beam of blue magical energy was fired from the impact point, it slammed into the spinning sword and both the beam and the sword were dispelled.

Advance Breaker jumped away from a Summoned Sword and spun the upper Active Barrel until it stopped on the bind magic circle, then she pulled the first trigger. [BREAKER SLASHING STRIKE!] Red energy covered the Breaker Sword as Advance Breaker took it in both gloves and stabbed it into the ground. Out of which came several red energy chains that shot at the Fake Kamen Rider Vergil. Their aim was to wrap him up or spear through him.

He pressed his Wizard Driver’s left Shift Lever once. [YES! THUNDER KICK STRIKE!] Then he scanned his left glove over his Wizard Driver’s Hand Author. [UNDERSTAND!?] Green lightning sparked around his body before transforming into several Summoned Swords that shot at the chains, breaking straight through them and shooting down towards Advance Breaker.

It was at that moment that Symbol noticed the Advance Timer’s second clock hand had reached the green segment. “Bounder, your up!” she hit the Advance Timer’s Hand Author’s thumb. [BOUNDER SWORD!]

Advance Bounder shot forwards and reached into the bounder magic circle as it appeared. She pulled out a green short sword with a grey handle. The sword had a pair of barrels in the centre of it called the Swift barrels that displayed three magic circles each. The handle had three triggers on it and this was called the Bounder Sword.

Advance Bounder spun the bottom Swift Barrel once so that it showed the arrow magic circle, then she pressed the second trigger. [BOUNDER SLASHING STRIKE!] She blurred in front of Advance Breaker and stabbed forwards, shattering the first Summoned Sword as it made contact with the tip of the Bounder Sword.

Seeing that there were still over a dozen Summoned Swords incoming, Advance Bounder spun the upper Swift Barrel until it stopped on the zoomer magic circle, then she pressed the Bounder Sword’s first trigger. [BOUNDER SLASHING STRIKE!] Just before the Summoned Swords could make contact with her, she unleashed a barrage of slashes and stabs that shattered each and everyone of the Summoned Swords.

The Fake Kamen Rider Vergil landed back on the ground and ran at Advance Bounder as he pressed the fifth button on the Thunder Space Yamato Katana. [FIVE!] Green magical energy surrounded the cutting edges of the sword as he jumped into the air. [THUNDER KATANA STRIKE! NOW!] He came shooting down with a downwards swing.

“Breaker!” shouted Symbol. “Block it!”

Advance Breaker spun the lower Active Barrel until it stopped on the bounder magic circle, then she pressed the Breaker Sword’s second trigger. [BREAKER SLASHING STRIKE!] She held the Breaker Sword in both gloves as she swung upwards, slamming it into the Thunder Space Yamato Katana. Her legs buckled as the ground under her boots formed into a crater from the force of the Fake Kamen Rider Vergil’s swing.

“Now Bounder! Strike while he’s locked up!” shouted Symbol.

Advance Breaker spun the upper Swift Barrel until it landed on the blade magic circle before she pulled the trigger. [BOUNDER SLASHING STRIKE!] She darted around behind the Fake Kamen Rider Vergil and slashed him with several horizontal spinning slashes that made sparks explode from his backplate.

He roared as he switched the Nephilim Ring on his index finger for an Angel Ring before pressing his Wizard Driver’s left Shift Lever and scanning his left glove over his Wizard Driver’s Hand Author. [ANGEL STYLE!] He jumped through the angel magic circle as it appeared above him. [NOW!] Transforming into the Thunder Angel Style as he passed through the magic circle.

Then he pressed the fifth button on the Thunder Space Sheath. [FIVE!] Green magic energy covered the Thunder Yamato Katana as well as the other blade. [THUNDER KATANA STRIKE! NOW!] The Fake Kamen Rider Vergil slashed through the air, his swords each left a trail of silver energy in the air that formed into an X. Out of the centre of the X blasted a large silver sword construct. It roared through the air and shot towards Advance Bounder and Advance Breaker.

‘Bounder can get out of the way, but then Breaker will be hit and she’s only needs one more hit to dispel!’ panicked Symbol mentally, then she looked over at Advance Blocker. 

Just in time to see the energy clone get sent flying by the Doppelganger Orbit.

‘Blocker’s in an even worse situation!’ Symbol mentally screamed.

It was at that moment that the Advance Timer’s second clock hand reached the purple section.

Symbol noticed. “Finally!” she hit the Advance Timer’s Hand Author’s thumb. [BLASTER SWORD!] “Blaster, it’s your turn!” shouted Symbol. “Dispel the attack and then help Advance Blocker!” she ordered.

The energy clone shot forwards and grabbed the Blaster Sword, a purple rapier with two barrels in the centre of the blade that each displayed three magic circles and three triggers on the hilt, from the blaster magic circle that appeared in the air.

She spun the lower Burst Barrel until it stopped on the dust magic circle and pressed the Blaster Sword’s second trigger. [BLASTER SLASHING STRIKE!] She stabbed forwards and a storm of tiny purple blades shot out of the Blaster Sword and slammed into the Aerial Flush attack from the Fake Kamen Rider Vergil, forcing it off course and dispelling it into sparks of magic.

Then Advance Blaster shot towards Advance Blocker, who was lying on the ground, pinning down by the Fake Kamen Rider Vergil’s Doppelganger with its sword aimed at her throat.

Advance Blaster spun the upper Burst Barrel around until it stopped on the glass magic circle, then she pressed the first trigger. [BLASTER SLASHING STRIKE!] She stabbed forwards and fired a beam of flash energy at the Doppelganger, forcing it to get off Advance Blocker and jump out of the way.

Advance Blaster helped her sister back to her boots and then spun the upper Burst Barrel around until it stopped on the mirror magic circle, before pressing the first trigger. [BLASTER SLASHING STRIKE!] She spun around and stabbed it into the ground, making a mirror wall appear from the ground.

“Why does that stance get me really mad?” Symbol asked herself in confusion as she stared at Advance Blaster.

The mirror wall went up just in time as the Doppelganger pressed the first button on the Thunder Space Katana. [ONE!] Green magical energy flew into both swords as the Doppelganger charged forwards. [THUNDER KATANA STRIKE! NOW!] It spun around, slashing the mirror wall multiple times with both of its blades. Only for the mirror wall to flash and sent it flying backwards as all of the stored up energy from the slashes was repelled back at it.

The Fake Kamen Rider Vergil switched the Angel Ring on his left ring finger for a Demon Ring and pressed his Wizard Driver’s left Shift Lever before scanning the ring over his Wizard Driver’s Hand Author. [DEMON STYLE!] The demon magic circle appeared under his Doppelganger and rose up through it. [NOW!] Transforming it into the Thunder Demon Style.

Then it pressed its Wizard Driver’s left Shift Lever once and scanned its left glove over its Wizard Driver’s Hand Author. [YES! THUNDER KICK STRIKE!] Green lightning sparked off the Doppelganger before forming into eight swords. [UNDERSTAND!?] They vanished before appearing around Advance Blocker and Advance Blaster with their blades pointing inwards.

Advance Blocker turned the upper Giga Barrel until it stopped on the quake magic circle, then she pulled the trigger. [BLOCKER SLASHING STRIKE!] She stabbed the ground and a blue energy shield appeared around herself and Advance Blaster, blocking the swords as they thrust inwards.

‘I need to help them!’ thought Symbol. At that very second, the Advance Timer’s second clock hand reached the yellow section. “Finally!” Symbol pressed the Advance Timer’s thumb. [ADVANCE SWORD!] She ran forwards and pulled the Advance Sword from the advance magic circle that appeared in the air. It was a yellow sword with a pair of barrels in the centre of it that each displayed four magic circles. It had a grey handle and three triggers on the handle.

She spun the upper Advance Barrel until it displayed the active magic circle, then Symbol pulled the trigger. [ADVANCE SLASHING STRIKE!] Red lightning covered the Advance Sword as Symbol stabbed forwards, firing a bolt of red lightning that slammed into the Doppelganger, throwing off its concentration and causing the swords to shatter.

“Final!” shouted Symbol as the Advance Clones gathered around her, Breaker and Blocker to her right, with Bounder and Blaster to her left.

All five of them pressed their sword’s triggers. [ADVANCE STRIKE END SLASHING STRIKE!] The five swords were covered in corana’s of magical energy as the five wielders held them pointing upwards. Breaker and Blocker held their swords with their arms bent and their swords in front of the right sides of their chest plates. Bounder and Blaster held their swords in front of the left side of their chest plates. Symbol held her own sword in front of the middle of her chest plate.

All five of them took a step forwards as they pulled their swords back, pointing them at the Fake Kamen Rider Vergil and his Doppelganger.

Both of which pressed their Wizard Driver’s left Shift Lever once, then they scanned their left gloves over their Wizard Driver’s Hand Author’s. [YES! THUNDER KATANA STRIKE!] Green lightning sparked around the Fake Kamen Rider Vergil as he rose into the air. [UNDERSTAND?!] The Doppelganger transformed into green energy that wrapped around his right boot and mixed with the lightning as he aimed his right boot at Kamen Rider Symbol and her clones before shooting down towards her.

At that moment Symbol and the four Advance Style Energy clones thrust their swords forwards. Each of the swords fired a blast of their wielders colour, yellow, red, blue, green and purple. The blast roared forward and the head of it shifted into the form of an A. It washed over both the Fake Kamen Rider Vergil and his Doppelganger.

“No, NO!” screamed the Fake Kamen Rider Vergil from within the beam as a powerful explosion rippled through the area. He was sent flying out of the beam as he was forced back into his human form.

Symbol panted as her clones vanished into their magic circles that appeared under them and the Advance Sword dissipated into motes of light.

“Mistress,” said a voice

Symbol turned to see the four Gem Maidens kneel like servants would to a Queen. 

“We have failed you,” spoke up Gilda.

“It was your first battle as a Kamen Rider after years of being a single Gem Maiden whoose every action and thought was controlled by the Hive Mind. You’ll get better as you get used to having free will again. At least some free will,” she whispered the last part bitterly.

“But,” spoke up Lightning Dust.

“No buts!” ordered Symbol as a portal appeared. “Come, let us return to the real world,” she turned around and the others followed her.

“DAMN YOU!” screamed the Fake Vergil. As he faded away, he released a blast of energy that washed over Symbol and her four servants before they had any time to react.
> Interlude 7
> --------------------------------------------------------------------------

Symbol groaned as she got back up, clutching her aching helmet as she got up. ‘What happened?! The last thing I remember was-,’ her visors widened. “That blast!” she sprung up and looked around.

Her visors twitched.

She was back at the start.

Symbol looked around, confirmed what she was seeing then she looked up and screamed. “ARE YOU FUCKING KIDDING ME?!” at the top of her lungs.

“Not so loud, Mistress,” begged a voice from her by her boots.

Symbol looked down and saw Janice, Pyyrha, Nora and Ling getting off the ground. 

“Are you ok, Mistress?” asked Pyrrha.

“No, I’m pissed off!” replied Symbol.

“Did we displease you?” asked Janice nervously.

“No,” replied Symbol. “It's just-” she faltered, not sure how to explain it. 

“I think that Mistress is upset about being sent back to the starting point and having to go through the whole dimension a second time,” explained Ling.

“Yes, that's exactly right!” Symbol pointed at Ling.

“Aw, Mistress likes your explanation,” teased Nora.

‘They don’t act very slave like,’ thought Symbol with a sweat drop on the back of her helmet. She noticed that she was still in the Advance Style and switched the Advance Ring for the Active Ring before pressing her Wizard Driver’s left Shift Lever. [MAGICAL TOUCH HENSHIN!] Then she scanned the Active Ring over her Wizard Driver’s Hand Author. [ERROR!]

Symbol was not expecting that. “What the-?! Advance Timer, what’s going on?” she demanded.

The Crow Bit Phantom’s face appeared in the Advance Timer’s clock. “Apologies, Mistress, my second phase has caused some sort of feedback loop in your mana coils.”

“Meaning?” demanded Symbol.

“That you will be unable to transform out of the Advance Style until I have cleared it up,” explained the Crow Bit Phantom.

The whole dimension shook as a loud: “WHAT?!” was bellowed through the area.

“You mean I can’t use any of my normal styles?!” demanded Symbol. “I’m going to have to converse mana like crazy! I haven’t even got much of it left after fighting Wiseman, the Imprisoner Phantom, Gem Maiden, whatever it was and that Fake Vergil. Not to mention all the mana I used while fighting other Phantoms between those fights, especially the Wisp Phantoms.”

“Actually mistress,” began the Crow Bit Phantom.

“What?” demanded Symbol.

“You might want to take another look at your mana pool,” suggested the Crow Bit Phantom.

Symbol offlined her visor and looked deep inside herself to the mana pool, the source of her power. It looked like a pool of water that shone red, green, purple and yellow with a bright silver light, deep in the centre. She looked at the pool for less than a second and gasped.

The depth of the pool showed how much mana she had left, the lower it was the less mana she had.

Now it was practically overflowing. 

Symbol snapped back to reality. “What the-?! How!?” 

“I am unsure mistress, but my best guess is that your body absorbed the mana from that explosion,” explained the Crow Bit Phantom. “Also,-”

“What now?” asked Symbol.

“It appears that your Advance Style’s only use the same amount of mana as your normal styles but have kept their strength,” explained the Cow Bit Phantoms.

“So I can use the Advance Style Spells, but with the same amount of power it would take for a Normal Style Spell?” asked Symbol.

“Correct,” replied the Crow Bit Phantom.

Symbol was about to ask how that was possible, when the ground shook, reminding her that this dimension was getting unstable.

“We’ll figure out how that is possible later,” she turned to her four Gem Maiden servants. “Come on yo four,” she ordered.

“Yes Mistress,” replied all four of them.

Janice summoned the Dust Knuckle and pressed the Fire Dust Whistle into its slot. [F-I-R-E D-U-S-T!] Then she pressed down on the flat side of the Dust Knuckle. [R-E-A-D-Y!]

The Aura Knuckle appeared in Nora’s hand as she summoned the Rose Speed Whistle and slotted it into the Aura Knuckle’s slot. [R-O-S-E S-P-E-E-D!] Then she pressed down on the flat side of the Aura Knuckle. [R-E-A-D-Y!]

The Weapon Driver appeared around Pyyrha’s waist as she slotted the Crocea Mors Whistle into its slot. [C-R-O-C-E-A M-O-R-S!]

Ling swiped her hand over her waist and the Grimm Driver appeared. She held out her hand and the Beowulf Whistle appeared, she slotted it into the Grimm Driver’s slot. [B-E-O-W-U-L-F!]

Janice slotted the flat end of the Aura Knuckle to the left side of the Weapon Driver, while Nora connected the flat side of the Aura Knuckle to the right side of the Grimm Driver. [F-I-S-T O-N!] Boomed both of the knuckles as a hologram of the logos on the Whistles appeared in front of the Knuckles and Drivers. The holograms started to spin before combining and shooting out, forming into a pair of holographic armour suits that moved back and slammed into their users. 

Combining four Gem Maidens into a pair of Kamen Riders.

“What the-?!” demanded Symbol when she saw that their suits had changed.

To the point that they looked identical.

They both wore a black bodysuit with attached black gloves and boots. They each wore a white helmet with a blue vertical line cutting through the back of it. Their visors were each covered by a golden cross that had a black horizontal visor cutting through the centre of it that bent downwards in a U shape at the centre. They each wore a white kite shield shaped chest plate that was connected to a pair of square shaped pieces of armour under their armpits. Their shoulder armour was white with golden outlines, they covered the area between their shoulders and necks. Also, their shoulder armour was connected around their necks, forming into an armoured collar. White armour that was shaped as a three D rectangle covered their forearms and black boxy armour covered the back of their gloves and the back of their fingers. White armour with blue outlines covering their hips and the outside of their upper legs. Three D rectangle shaped armour covered their shins with the front of them being black and the rest being white. Finally, white 3D box armour covered their boots.

The only difference between the two of them was their Drivers and their chest plates. Grimm had the image of a black wolf, with white bone armour and red eyes in the centre of her chest plate. It was sitting on a bed of red and black roses. Meanwhile, Weapon’s chest plate bore the image of a golden sword in front of a white kite shield that was in front of a flaming background.

Symbol raised a glove, with one finger pointing upwards, and was about to demand an explanation when the ground shook and part of it broke away. Once more she was reminded of just how dangerous this dimension was getting.

“I’ll ask later,” she muttered. “Let’s go!”

They went.

It was only a few metres later that Elite Blade Phantoms burst out of the ground to confront the two Kamen Riders.

If she had been in her human form of Sunset Shimmer Sparda, Symbol would have smirked as she held her right glove out to the side. [ADVANCE TIME!] She turned the dial. [SET UP!] Then she pressed the Advance Timer’s Hand Author’s thumb. [START!] The Advance Timer’s first clock hand started to move as Symbol ran forwards.

She pressed her Wizard Driver’s left Shift Lever once. [TOUCH TO CAST THE NEXT LEVEL!] Then she scanned her left glove over her Wizard Driver’s Hand Author as the emitters started to create yellow magical energy. [ADVANCE C TIER SPELL!] Symbol pulled her left fist back as it was covered in yellow magical energy and threw a punch forwards. The energy was fired off in a fist sized beam and punched a hole through an Elite Blade Phantom. Sparks bled from the hole as the Phantom fell over and exploded.

Then Symbol saw a pair of Elite Blade Phantoms stabbing their blades into the ground and firing a line of fire along it at her. She hit her Wizard Driver’s left Shift Lever three times. [TOUCH TO CAST THE NEXT LEVEL!] Then she scanned her left glove over her Wizard Driver’s Hand Author as the emitters hummed to life. [ADVANCE A TIER SPELL!] Yellow magical energy gathered around her forearms as she pulled them back and slammed her fists into the ground, creating a wall of yellow energy. The fire lines slammed into it and cracked it but were unable to break through.

Then Symbol pressed her Wizard Driver’s left Shift Lever twice. [TOUCH TO CAST THE NEXT LEVEL!] She scanned her left glove and the Advance Ring over her Wizard Driver’s Hand Author as the emitters started up. [ADVANCE B TIER SPELL!] She covered her elbows in yellow magical energy as she dashed forwards, appearing between the Elite Blade Phantoms and slamming her charged elbows into their heads. They were sent flying over the ledge and into the endless drop where they both exploded.

Symbol jumped into the air, avoiding a slash from another Elite Blade Phantom that would have injured her legs. While she was in the air, she pressed her Wizard Driver’s left Shift Lever once. [TOUCH TO CAST THE NEXT LEVEL!] Then she scanned her left glove over her Wizard Driver’s Hand Author as the emitters produced yellow magical energy. [ADVANCE C TIER SPELL!] Which gathered around her left fist as she threw a downwards, punch, firing a fist sized beam that slammed into the Elite Blade Phantom, tearing through its shoulder and causing it to explode.

Seeing another pair of Elite Blade Phantoms waiting to attack her the instant she landed back on the ground, Symbol pressed her Wizard Driver’s left Shift Lever three times. [TOUCH TO CAST THE NEXT LEVEL!] She swiped her left glove over her Wizard Driver’s Hand Author as the emitters generated yellow magical energy. [ADVANCE A TIER SPELL!] It wrapped around her glove and Symbol pointed them to the ground as she landed, smashing both of the Elite Blade Phantom’s heads in.

Symbol saw another pair of Elite Blade Phantom running at her and slammed down on her Wizard Driver’s left Shift Lever twice. [TOUCH TO CAST THE NEXT LEVEL!] Then she scanned her left glove over her Wizard Driver’s Hand Author as the emitters generated yellow magical energy. [ADVANCE B TIER SPELL!] The energy gathered around her elbows as Symbol blurred forwards, she appeared behind the Elite Blade Phantoms and slammed her charged elbows into their backs. The Phantoms were sent shooting forwards and exploded.

Symbol saw another Elite Blade Phantom rushing at her and pressed her Wizard Driver’s left Shift Lever four times. [TOUCH TO CAST THE NEXT LEVEL! VERY NICE!] Then she scanned her left glove over her Wizard Driver’s Hand Author as the emitters released a storm of yellow magical energy. [ADVANCE S TIER SPELL! THE BEST!] It gathered around her right leg as she ran forwards and delivered four fast spinning kicks. “Advance Impact!” shouted Symbol as the Phantom was sent flying backwards through the air and exploded.

Grimm pressed down on the Beowulf Whistle once and then slammed the Aura Knuckle into the Grimm Driver. [B-E-O-W-U-L-F! B-I-T-I-N-G!] The armour on her forearms ejected five white blades that reached about five inches past her knuckles. She dashed forward and slashed the first of the Elite Blade Phantoms five times with the knuckles making sparks explode from the Phantom with each cut until it stumbled backwards and exploded.

Then Grimm pressed the Rose Speed Whistle down twice before pressing the Aura Knuckle into the Grimm Driver once more. [S-P-E-E-D!] She dashed forwards with several rose petals following behind her that sliced into the second Elite blade Phantom as she ran past it. Sparks exploded from the thousands of cuts that the petals made before the Phantom exploded.

Weapon pressed the Crocea Mors Whistle once then she pressed the Dust Knuckle into the Weapon Driver. [K-N-I-G-H-T S-W-O-R-D!] Weapon held out her right glove and the Knight Sword appeared. She grabbed the weapon from the air and slashed the first Elite Blade Phantom five times, before charging the Knight Sword with golden energy and slashing down. A golden line appeared down the centre of the Phantom before it exploded.

Weapon tensed as she pressed the Fire Dust Whistle once and slammed the Dust Knuckle into the Weapon Driver. [F-I-R-E D-U-S-T! C-H-A-R-G-E!] The Knight Sword burst into flames and trailed fire as Weapon spun around and slashed the Elite Blade Phantom that had been trying to sneak up behind her. Sparks exploded from the Phantom waist, then more sparks come off it as it was slashed twice more by the Kamen Rider. Then it fell over and went up in an explosion.

At that moment the Advance Timer’s first clock hand reached the red section. Symbol noticed this and pressed the Advance Timer’s Hand Author’s thumb. [BREAKER ADVANCE!] The breaker magic circle appeared and the Breaker Advance Energy clone jumped out of it and landed on the ground.

Breaker Advance pressed her Wizard Driver’s left Shift Lever once. [TOUCH TO CAST THE NEXT LEVEL!] The emitters on her body summoned red magical energy after she scanned her left glove over her Wizard Driver’s Hand Author. [ADVANCE BREAKER C TIER SPELL!] The energy gathered around her right glove as she clenched it into a fist. Then she ducked under a slash and punched the Elite Blade Phantom in the face. It was sent flying backwards and exploded.

Symbol pressed her Wizard Driver’s left Shift Lever twice. [TOUCH TO CAST THE NEXT LEVEL!] Then she scanned her left glove over her Wizard Driver’s Hand Author as the emitters on her forearms released yellow magical energy. [ADVANCE B TIER SPELL!] It gathered around her right elbow as she dashed forwards and slammed it into the face of an Elite Blade Phantom. The Phantom was sent flying over the endless drop where it exploded after a few seconds.

Advance Breaker jumped into the air, avoiding a slash from another Elite Blade Phantom and pressed her Wizard Driver’s left Shift Lever three times. [TOUCH TO CAST THE NEXT LEVEL!] Red magical energy was emitted from the emitters on her forearms after she scanned her left glove over her Wizard Driver’s Hand Author. [ADVANCE BREAKER A TIER SPELL!] The energy gathered around her right fist as she turned upside down and fell back towards the ground. Advance Breaker slammed her right fist into the Phantom, making it crumple like an accordion and explode.

Symbol ducked under a slash from another Elite Blade Phantom and pressed her Wizard Driver’s left Shift Lever once. [TOUCH TO CAST THE NEXT LEVEL!] Then she scanned her left glove over her Wizard Driver’s Hand Author making the emitters on her forearms release yellow magical energy into her right fist. [ADVANCE C TIER SPELL!] Symbol straightened her legs, throwing an uppercut into the Elite Blade Phantom’s chin. On impact, her fist released a beam of yellow energy that engulfed the Phantom’s head and made it explode.

Then Advance Breaker dodge rolled to the side and pressed her Wizard Driver’s left Shift Lever once. [TOUCH TO CAST THE NEXT LEVEL!] Then she scanned her left glove over her Wizard Driver’s Hand Author as the emitters on her forearms summoned red magical energy. [ADVANCE BREAKER C TIER SPELL!] It gathered around her right fist as she ran forwards and punched the Elite Blade Phantom in the face. It was sent flying backwards and exploded.

Symbol slid under a second slash from the Elite Blade Phantom that she was fighting and pressed her Wizard Driver’s left Shift Lever three times. [TOUCH TO CAST THE NEXT LEVEL!] Then she scanned her left glove over her Wizard Driver’s Hand Author as the emitters on her legs generated yellow magical energy. [ADVANCE A TIER SPELL!] Which gathered around her gloves as she punched the Elite Blade Phantom in the leg and then decked it in the back. The Phantom fell forwards with sparks coming from its body and exploded.

Advance Breaker glared at the Elite Blade Phantom as it slammed its sword into the ground and unleashed a line of fire towards the Energy Clone. She pressed her Wizard Driver’s left Shift Lever four times and rolled to the side, avoiding the fire line. [TOUCH TO CAST THE NEXT LEVEL! VERY NICE!] Then she scanned her left glove over her Wizard Driver’s Hand Author, as the emitters all summoned red magical energy Advance Breaker sprinted forwards. [ADVANCE BREAKER S TIER SPELL! THE BEST!] She pulled back her left glove as the red magical energy blazed around it. “Breaker Impact!” she threw her fist forwards, it smashed into the Elite Blade Phantom’s chest and sparks exploded from the impact point as the fist tore through the Phantom. It fell to its knees and exploded.

Weapon removed the Dust Fist from the Weapon Driver, she removed the Fire Dust Whistle and replaced it with a green Whistle that had an image of blowing wind on the front of it. [W-I-N-D D-U-S-T!] She pressed the right side of the Dust Knuckle to her left palm. [R-E-A-D-Y!] Then she slotted the Dust Knuckle to the left side of the Weapon Driver. [F-I-S-T O-N!] An image of green blowing wind appeared in front of the Dust Driver. It started to spin and shot forwards, transforming into a holographic suit of armour that slammed into Weapon. The fire background on her chest plate transforming into a green background of blowing wind.

Weapon pressed the Wind Dust Whistle once and slammed the Dust Knuckle into the Weapon Driver. [W-I-N-D D-U-S-T! C-H-A-R-G-E!] The Knight Sword was covered in green wind and was used to cut an Elite Blade Phantom in half.

Kamen Rider Grimm removed the Aura Knuckle from the Grimm Driver as she removed the Beowulf Whistle from the Grimm Driver and switched it for a Whistle that showed a raven head. [N-E-V-E-R-M-O-R-E!] Then she pressed the left side of the Aura Knuckle to her right palm. [R-E-A-D-Y!] Kamen Rider Grimm slotted the Aura Knuckle to the right side of the Grimm Driver. [F-I-S-T O-N!] An image of a raven head appeared in front of the Grimm Driver and started to spin, it shot forwards and transformed into a suit of armour that slammed into Grimm. It transformed the image of the wolf on her chest plate into an image of a black raven with white bone armour and red eyes. It was flaring its wings and screeching as it hovered over a rose field.

Grimm pressed the Nevermore Whistle once and slammed the Aura Knuckle into the Grimm Driver. [N-E-V-E-R-M-O-R-E! B-I-T-I-N-G!] Black mist formed into a bowgun in her right glove, it was black with a white head in at the front of it, the arms looked like black wings and the handle was in the shape of a pair of white claws. Grimm pulled the trigger and fired a bolt of black energy that slammed into the Elite Blade Phantom’s head, destroying it.

At that moment the Advance Timer’s first clock hand reached the blue zone and Symbol pressed the Advance Timer’s Hand Author’s thumb. [BLOCKER ADVANCE!] The advance blaster magic circle appeared and moved backwards, making the Advance Blaster Energy Clone materialize in its wake.

With the last of the Elite Blade Phantom defeated, Death Knight Phantoms jumped out of the ground.

Only to find themselves in a very bad situation.

One of them charged at Symbol with its sword raised. Advance Breaker saw this and defended her creator by pressing her Wizard Driver’s left Shift Lever once. [TOUCH TO CAST THE NEXT LEVEL!] Then she scanned her left glove over her Wizard Driver’s Hand Author as the emitters generated blue magical energy. [ADVANCE BLOCKER C TIER SPELL!] Advance Breaker threw out her left glove and the energy formed into a circle shaped shield in front of Symbol. The Death Knight Phantom slammed its sword into the shield, which promptly exploded and sent the Phantom flying backwards with sparks coming from its body.

“Thanks, Blocker!” shouted Symbol as she ran forwards and pressed her Wizard Driver’s left Shift Lever three times. [TOUCH TO CAST THE NEXT LEVEL!] Then she scanned her left glove over her Wizard Driver’s Hand Author as the emitters on her legs started making yellow magical energy. [ADVANCE A TIER SPELL!] It gathered around her fists as she punched the Death Knight Phantom’s shield once. Cracks spread through the shield before it broke apart as Symbol punched it with her other fist.

Advance Breaker dashed forwards and pressed her Wizard Driver’s left Shift Lever once. [TOUCH TO CAST THE NEXT LEVEL!] Then she scanned her left glove over her Wizard Driver’s Hand Author as the emitters on her forearm guards started up. [ADVANCE BREAKER C TIER SPELL!] The energy gathered around her right fist as she punched the Phantom in the face. It was sent flying through the air as micro explosions went off around it before the Phantom exploded.

Suddenly, another Death Knight Phantom burst out of the ground and swung its sword down at Advance Breaker. Symbol saw this and pressed her Wizard Driver’s left Shift Lever once. [TOUCH TO CAST THE NEXT LEVEL!] She held her left glove over her Wizard Driver’s Hand Author, causing the emitters on her forearm armour to start making yellow magical energy. [ADVANCE C TIER SPELL!] Which gathered around her right fist as she pulled it back and threw a punch forwards. The energy burst off her fist and transformed into a yellow beam that slammed into the Death Knight Phantom, knocking it back and causing it to miss with its swing.

Advance Breaker pressed her Wizard Driver’s left Shift Lever twice. [TOUCH TO CAST THE NEXT LEVEL!] Then she scanned her left glove over her Wizard Driver’s Hand Author as the emitters on her shoulder pauldrons hummed to life. [ADVANCE BREAKER B TIER SPELL!] Red magical energy gathered around her left fist as she threw an uppercut that catapulted the Death Knight Phantom into the air while breaking its shield into pieces.

Advance Blocker hit her Wizard Driver’s left Shift Lever twice. [TOUCH TO CAST THE NEXT LEVEL!] Then she swiped her left glove over her Wizard Driver’s Hand Author as the emitters on her shoulder pauldrons released blue magical energy into the air. [ADVANCE BLOCKER B TIER SPELL!] It gathered into a squared shaped shield above the Death Knight Phantom, which said Phantom bounced off and back down towards Advance Breaker.

Who pressed her Wizard Driver’s left Shift Lever twice more. [TOUCH TO CAST THE NEXT LEVEL!] Then she scanned her left glove over her Wizard Driver’s Hand Author as the emitters on her shoulder pauldrons hummed to life [ADVANCE BREAKER B TIER SPELL!] She pulled back her left fist as it was covered in red energy and punched the Death Knight Phantom in the centre of its spin. The Phantom exploded instantly.

Grimm saw a Death Knight Phantom rushing her from the left and the right. So she pressed down on the Nevermore Whistle once and then rammed the Aura Knuckle into the Grimm Driver. [N-E-V-E-R-M-O-R-E! T-E-A-R-I-N-G!] Black energy flared around her backplate and transformed into a pair of black raven wings. She gave them and flap and rose into the air, watching as the Death Knight Phantoms slashed each other as they missed her.

Then she pressed down on the Rose Speed Whistle once and slammed the Aura Knuckle into the Grimm Driver again. [R-O-S-E!] She vanished in a blur that left trails of red roses behind it. Sparks exploded from the Death Knight Phantoms as they were hit from all sides by black energy bolts from the Nevermore Bow Sword. Grimm kept up the attack until their shields shattered from the damage.

Seeing this, Grimm pressed the Nevermore Whistle three times, then she slammed the Aura Knuckle into the Grimm Driver as red and black energy started to gather around her. [N-E-V-E-R-M-O-R-E! R-I-S-E U-P!] The energy gathered around the Nevermore Bow Gun and its eyes flashed. Grimm flared the Nevermore Wings and pulled the trigger. The Nevermore Bow Sword fired a barrage of blasts in the shape of rose petals that slammed into the Phantoms and caused both of them to explode after sparks flew out of the thousands of glowing red cuts they received.

A Death Knight Phantom leapt into the air and swung its sword down towards Kamen Rider Weapon as she pressed the Wind Dust Whistle twice and slammed the Dust Knuckle into the Weapon Driver. [W-I-N-D D-U-S-T! P-O-W-E-R-E-D!] The Knight Shield was covered in green wind that formed into a barrier in front of her, blocking the attack. The wind lashed out and cut the Phantom in several places as its shield started to crack.

Then Weapon pressed the Wind Dust Whistle once more as she pressed the Dust Knuckle into the Weapon Driver. [W-I-N-D D-U-S-T! C-H-A-R-G-E!] Green wind covered the Knight Sword as Weapon swung it around in a horizontal slash. It sliced through the Death Knight Phantom’s shield like a hot knife through butter, causing the shield to shatter into pieces.

Weapon pressed down on the Crocea Mors Whistle three times, after doing so she slammed the Dust Knuckle into the Weapon Driver. [C-R-O-C-E-A M-O-R-S! R-I-S-E U-P!] A torrent of green wind gathered around the Knight Sword as Weapon held it up in both gloves. The wind formed into an extension of the sword before Weapon swung it down, cutting a glowing green line through the centre of the Death Knight Phantom. Sparks flew from the line like a stream of blood before the Death Knight Phantom fell to its knees and was consumed by an explosion.

With all of the Death Knight Phantom defeated, a pair of Wisp Phantoms appeared in the air. They were both red versions.

“You're going to be a lot of use against this one, Breaker,” stated Symbol. “So, Blocker will shield you and I’ll be a distraction!” she pressed her Wizard Driver’s left Shift Lever twice. [TOUCH TO CAST THE NEXT LEVEL!] Then she scanned her left glove over her Wizard Driver’s Hand Author as the emitters on her shoulder pauldrons summoned yellow magical energy. [ADVANCE B TIER SPELL!] The energy gathered around her right elbow as Symbol blurred forwards and threw an elbow strike that the Wisp Phantom blocked with its arm.

The Wisp Phantom pulled back its fist to punch Symbol, but Advance Blocker pressed her Wizard Driver’s left Shift Lever three times. [TOUCH TO CAST THE NEXT LEVEL!] Then she scanned her left glove over her Wizard Driver’s Hand Author as the emitters on her shin armour hummed to life. [ADVANCE BLOCKER A TIER SPELL!] The blue magical energy gathered in an aura around Symbol. The Wisp Phantom punched her and sent her flying but she took no damage and was able to flip back to her boots with ease.

Advance Beaker had jumped into the air while all this was going on and pressed her Wizard Driver’s left Shift Lever three times. [TOUCH TO CAST THE NEXT LEVEL!] Then she scanned her left glove over her Wizard Driver’s Hand Author as the emitters on her shin armour started up. [ADVANCE BREAKER A TIER SPELL!] The energy gathered around her right fist as the threw a downwards punch that slammed into the Wisp Phantom’s head and smashed it into the ground with enough force to make a hole.

The Wisp Phantom was quick to get back up and throw a punch at Advance Breaker. Only for Advance Blocker to press her Wizard Driver’s left Shift Lever once. [TOUCH TO CAST THE NEXT LEVEL!] Then she swiped her left glove over her Wizard Driver’s Hand Author as the emitters on her forearm guards started to emit blue magical energy. [ADVANCE BLOCKER C TIER SPELL!] It gathered around her gloves and formed into a circle shaped shield that winked out and then winked in. In front of Advance Breaker, when the Wisp Phantom’s punch hit the shield it exploded, sending the Phantom flying backwards.

The Wisp Phantom was about to charge at Advance Blocker when it noticed Symbol running at it. She pressed her Wizard Driver’s left Shift Lever three times. [TOUCH TO CAST THE NEXT LEVEL!] Then she scanned her left glove over her Wizard Driver’s Hand Author as the emitters on her shin armour hummed to life. [ADVANCE A TIER SPELL!] Yellow energy gathered around her fists as she threw a punch that the Wisp Phantom blocked. Symbol’s other fist was caught by an open hand.

Only for Advance Breaker to run up behind the Phantom and press her Wizard Driver’s left Shift Lever once. [TOUCH TO CAST THE NEXT LEVEL!] Then she scanned her left glove over her Wizard Driver’s Hand Author as red magical energy was summoned from the emitters on her forearm guards. [ADVANCE BREAKER C TIER SPELL!] It gathered around her right glove as she punched the Phantom in the spine. Igniting a massive explosion that had the Phantom shouting out in pain.

The Wisp Phantom grabbed Symbol by her arms and swung her around, slamming her into Advance Breaker and sending the two of them flying in a heap. It lunged for them as Advance Blocker pressed her Wizard Driver’s left Shift Lever twice. [TOUCH TO CAST THE NEXT LEVEL!] Then she scanned her left glove over her Wizard Driver’s Hand Author causing the emitters on her shoulder pauldrons to hum to life. [ADVANCE BLOCKER B TIER SPELL!] A shield of blue magical energy appeared in front of the Wisp Phantom. The Phantom threw a punch, trying to break through the shield, only to be forced back by it and slammed into a wall with the shield pinning it there.

“Final!” shouted Symbol as she pressed her Wizard Driver’s left Shift Lever four times. [TOUCH TO CAST THE NEXT LEVEL! VERY NICE!] She held her left glove in front of her Wizard Driver’s Hand Author as all of the emitters on her body generated yellow magical energy. [ADVANCE S TIER SPELL! THE BEST!] It gathered around her boots as she ran forwards.

Advance Breaker pressed her Wizard Driver’s left Shift Lever four times. [TOUCH TO CAST THE NEXT LEVEL! VERY NICE!] Then she scanned her left glove over her Wizard Driver’s Hand Author as the emitters on her body summoned red and yellow magical energy. [ADVANCE BREAKER S TIER SPELL! THE BEST!] It wrapped around her gloves as she clenched them into fists and charged.

“Advance Breaker Impact!” shouted Symbol as she and Advance Breaker slammed their charged limbs into the Wisp Phantom. There was a loud explosion of energy as the Wisp Phantom was freed.

Grimm and Weapon were both sent flying backwards by the Wisp Phantom. They removed the Knuckles from their Drivers and pressed them together. [R-E-A-D-Y!] A hologram of a suit of armour appeared in front of them. [D-O-U-B-L-E F-I-S-T O-N!] The holographic armour appeared in front of them and slammed into them, merging them into Kamen Rider Reamant.

Like her two component Kamen Riders, she had changed. Now she looked identical to them there were only two differences. The first being that she had the Ozma Knuckle and the Salem Driver around her waist. The second difference was the emblem on her chest plate. It was a Nevermore with green wind whipping around it that carried red roses. The emblem’s background was a white kite shield in front of a golden board sword.

Reamant pressed down on the Salem Driver once, then she slammed the Ozma Knuckle into it. [K-N-I-G-H-T S-W-O-R-D!] [N-E-V-E-R-M-O-R-E! B-I-T-I-N-G!] The Nevermore Bow Sword and the Knight Sword appeared in front of her before combining into a golden board sword with black wings for a guard and white talons for a handle. This is the Black Knight Sword. 

Reamant used it to block a punch from the Wisp Phantom before she pressed down on the Ozma Knuckle once and slammed it into the Salem Driver. [R-O-S-E!] [W-I-N-D D-U-S-T! C-H-A-R-G-E!] The Black Knight Sword was covered in red energy and green wind formed around it as Reamant brought it around and slashed through the Wisp Phantom, cutting a glowing green line that bled sparks from its right shoulder to its left hip.

Reamant then jumped into the air and slashed down, cutting another glowing green gash into the Phantom. Then she started to pick up speed with her arms and the Black Knight Blade leaving after images of red and black light. Sparks exploded from the Wisp Phantom in a near continuous stream as it was driven back. After several seconds of the assault, the Phantom exploded as it was freed.

“I’ve had enough of this place,” muttered Symbol as part of the house broke into pieces. She jumped a gap with Advance Breaker, Advance Blocker, Grimm and Weapon following. She jumped to another platform and then to the next platform that had half a fountain on it. She jumped to the next platform as part of the house crumbled away.

In her normal Styles Symbol would have been stuck, now? She jumped the gap with ease and ran up a small flight of stairs before turning left into a room.

A piece of the ceiling came down and destroyed the path in front of her, only for Symbol to leap the gap with ease. She took a right turned and jumped another gap.

Advance Breaker and Grimm arrived to her left, while Advance Blocker and Weapon landed to her right.

It was at that moment several Wizard Phantoms arrived.

Weapon removed the Dust Knuckle from the Weapon Driver and switched the Crocea Mors Whistle for the Crescent Rose Whistle. [C-R-E-S-C-E-N-T R-O-S-E!] Then she returned the Dust Knuckle to the Weapon Driver after pressing her glove against the right side of it. [R-E-A-DY!] Once that was done, Weapon pressed the Dust Knuckle against the left side of the Weapon Driver. [F-I-S-T O-N!] A hologram of a scythe appeared in front of the Weapon Driver. It started to spin and transformed into a holographic suit of armour that flew back and slammed into Weapon. The kite shield and board sword emblem on her chest plate transformed into a red scythe with a black blade cross over a red sniper rifle with black outlines. Suddenly, the cross on her faceplate opened, revealing her blue circle shaped visors.

Weapon pressed down on the Crescent Rose Whistle twice, then she slammed the Dust Knuckle into the Weapon Driver. [S-N-I-P-E-R!] She held out her right glove and the Crescent Sniper appeared. She fired a single shot that cracked and destroyed the Wizard Phantom's shield.

Grimm, seeing what her sister Kamen Rider did, removed the Aura Knuckle from the Grimm Driver and then switched the Nevermore Whistle for a Whistle that bore the image of a bear on the front of it. [U-R-S-A!] She pressed down on the left side of the Aura Knuckle. [R-E-A-DY!] Then she slotted it onto the right side of the Grimm Driver. [F-I-S-T! O-N!] A hologram of a bear appeared in front of the Grimm Driver and spun until it transformed into a holographic suit of armour that slammed into Grimm. The image of the bird on her chest plate turned into a black gear with white bone armour and red eyes.

She pressed down on the Ursa Whistle once and then slammed the Aura Knuckle into the Grimm Driver. [U-R-S-A! B-I-T-I-N-G!] Black mist collected around her right glove and formed into a black sledgehammer, the head of which looked like a pair of black bear paws grabbing onto each other. It was slammed into the Wizard Phantom’s face, causing the Phantom to explode.

At the end of the last fight, the Advance Timer’s first clock hand had reached the green zone. Symbol saw this and pressed the Advance Timer’s Hand Author’s thumb. [BOUNDER ADVANCE!] The advance bounder magic circle appeared in the air and the Advance Bounder Energy Clone dropped out of it. 

She pressed her Wizard Driver’s left Shift Lever once. [TOUCH TO CAST THE NEXT LEVEL!] Then she scanned her left glove over her Wizard Driver’s Hand Author as the emitters on her forearms summoned green magical energy. [ADVANCE BOUNDER C TIER SPELL!] It covered her right fist as she ran forwards and punched the Wizard Phantom’s shield, causing it to shatter like glass.

Advance Breaker saw this and pressed her Wizard Driver’s left Shift Lever three times. [TOUCH TO CAST THE NEXT LEVEL!] She scanned her left glove over her Wizard Driver’s Hand Author as red magical energy from the emitters in her shin armour surrounded it. [ADVANCE BREAKER A TIER SPELL!] Advance Breaker jumped into the air and gave a downwards punch that slammed into the Wizard Phantom’s head and caused it to explode.

The second Wizard Phantom made a spinning red spear appear and fired it at Symbol. Advance Breaker sought to protect her creator as she hit her Wizard Driver’s left Shift Lever twice. [TOUCH TO CAST THE NEXT LEVEL!] Then she scanned her left glove over her Wizard Driver’s Hand Author as the emitters in her shoulder pauldrons summoned blue magical energy. [ADVANCE BLOCKER B TIER SPELL!] It gathered in front of Symbol as a circle shaped shield that surged forwards and slammed into the spear, halting its momentum. Both the shield and spear shattered.

“Thanks!” shouted Symbol as she hit her Wizard Driver’s left Shift Lever twice. [TOUCH TO CAST THE NEXT LEVEL!] Then she scanned her left glove over her Wizard Driver’s Hand Author as the emitters on her shoulder pauldrons hummed to life. [ADVANCE B TIER SPELL!] Yellow magical energy covered her left elbow as she blurred forwards and slammed it into the Wizard Phantom’s shield. Cracks spread through it but there was not enough power behind the blow to break the shield.

Then Symbol hit her Wizard Driver’s left Shift Lever three times. [TOUCH TO CAST THE NEXT LEVEL!] Yellow magical energy was emitted from the emitters on her shin armour after she scanned her left glove over her Wizard Driver’s Hand Author. [ADVANCE A TIER SPELL!] The energy covered Symbol’s fists as she slammed her left fist into the shield, shattering it. “Woah!” before she could hit the Wizard Phantom with her other fist, she was forced to turn the energy into a shield, blocking a wave of rocks that had been fired at her by the Phantom.

Advance Blocker took the pressure off her creator by pressing her Wizard Driver’s left Shift Lever three times. [TOUCH TO CAST THE NEXT LEVEL!] Then she swiped her left glove over her Wizard Driver’s Hand Author as the emitters on her shin armour ejected blue magical energy. [ADVANCE BLOCKER A TIER SPELL!] The energy covered her body in an aura as she dashed forward and punched the Wizard Phantom in the face while its attention was on Symbol. Sparks exploded from the impact point as the Wizard Phantom floated backwards through the air.

The rock wave attack ended the second the Wizard Phantom’s attention was taken off Symbol. “Thanks, Blocker!” she pressed her Wizard Driver’s left Shift Lever four times. [TOUCH TO CAST THE NEXT LEVEL! VERY NICE!] Then she swiped her left glove over her Wizard Driver’s Hand Author as the emitters on her body summoned yellow magical energy. [ADVANCE S TIER SPELL! THE BEST!] It gathered around her boots as Symbol jumped into the air. She came down spinning so fast that her body looked like a circle of yellow energy. “Advance Impact!” Symbol slammed her boots into the Wizard Phantom and sparks exploded from the impact point as it was kicked by Symbol’s heels again and again until it exploded.

Grimm and Weapon were fighting another Wizard Phantom as Grimm pressed down on the Ursa Whistle twice and then slammed the Aura Knuckle into the Grimm Driver. [U-R-S-A! T-E-A-R-I-N-G!] Her muscles in her upper arms bulged as black smoke entered them and their mass increased. Grimm swung the Usra Hammer around and smashed the Wizard Phantom’s shield into pieces. But before she could swing again to send the Phantom flying, a spinning red spear struck her across the chest plate. Sparks exploded from the impact point as Grimm staggered backwards in pain and from the force behind the spear. She fell onto her backplate.

Weapon removed the Dust Knuckle from the Weapon Driver and switched the Wind Dust Whistle for an orange Whistle with a rock logo on the front of it. [E-A-R-T-H D-U-S-T!] She pressed her glove against the right side of the Dust Knuckle. [R-E-A-D-Y!] Then she slammed it into the left side of the Weapon Driver. [F-I-S-T O-N!] A hologram of a rock appeared in front of the Weapon Driver, it spun around and transformed into a holographic suit of armour that slammed into Weapon. The green wind background on her chest plate transformed into an orange rocky background.

Advance Breaker ran towards another Wizard Phantom as she pressed her Wizard Driver’s left Shift Lever twice. [TOUCH TO CAST THE NEXT LEVEL!] Then she scanned her left glove over her Wizard Driver’s Hand Author as the emitters in her shoulder pauldrons roared to life. [ADVANCE BREAKER B TIER SPELL!] Red magical energy gathered around her right fist as Advance Breaker neared the Wizard Phantom.

Which fired a line of rocks at her.

Advance Blocker saw this and pressed her Wizard Driver’s left Shift Lever once. [TOUCH TO CAST THE NEXT LEVEL!] Then she scanned her left glove over her Wizard Driver’s Hand Author and the emitters on her forearm guards started to shine. [ADVANCE BLOCKER C TIER SPELL!] Blue magical energy, at Advance Blocker’s direction, appeared in front of Advance Breaker as a square shaped shield. The second the rock line slammed into the shield, it exploded, sending rocks flying backwards, peppering the Wizard Phantom’s shield with cracks.

Advance Breaker slammed her fist upwards, it passed through the Wizard Phantom’s shield as if it was not even there and sent the Phantom flying into the air like a blue comet.

Where Symbol was waiting.

She pressed her Wizard Driver’s left Shift Lever three times. [TOUCH TO CAST THE NEXT LEVEL!] She swiped her left glove over her Wizard Driver’s Hand Author as the emitters on her shin armour powered up. [ADVANCE A TIER SPELL!] Yellow energy gathered around her gloves as she clasped them together and delivered a hammer blow that sent the Phantom smashing back into the ground.

Or at least it would have if Advance Blocker had not been waiting.

She zipped to her edge of the platform as she pressed her Wizard Driver’s left Shift Lever twice. [TOUCH TO CAST THE NEXT LEVEL!] The emitters on her shoulder pauldrons hummed as she scanned her left glove over her Wizard Driver’s Hand Author. [ADVANCE BOUNDER B TIER SPELL!] Green magical energy gathered around her right boot as Advance Bounder ran forwards and slammed her boot into the Wizard Phantom. It was sent flying backwards and exploded.

Then another WIzard Phantom appeared. “Oh come on!” shouted Symbol as she threw her gloves into the air.

The Wizard Phantom, rightly, took this as an insult and fired a red spinning spear at Symbol. Advance Blocker saw this and pressed her Wizard Driver’s left Shift Lever twice. [TOUCH TO CAST THE NEXT LEVEL!] Then she held her left glove in front of her Wizard Driver’s Hand Author as the emitters on her shoulder pauldrons started to release blue magical energy. [ADVANCE BLOCKER B TIER SPELL!] It gathered in front of Symbol and formed into a circle shaped shield. Which then surged forwards and smashed into the spear, both the shield and spear shattered on impact.

“Thanks!” Symbol pressed her Wizard Driver’s left Shift Lever once. [TOUCH TO CAST THE NEXT LEVEL!] Then she scanned her left glove over her Wizard Driver’s Hand Author as the emitters on her forearm guards released yellow magical energy. [ADVANCE C TIER SPELL!] It gathered around her left fist as she pulled it back and punched forwards, firing a fist sized beam of yellow energy that zipped through the air and slammed into the Wizard Phantom’s shield, cracking it.

Advance Breaker jumped into the air and pressed her Wizard Driver’s left Shift Lever three times. [TOUCH TO CAST THE NEXT LEVEL!] Then she scanned her left glove over her Wizard Driver’s Hand Author as the emitters on her forearm guards summoned red magical energy. [ADVANCE BREAKER A TIER SPELL!] The energy gathered around her right fist as she went shooting down and slammed it into the Phantom’s shield. Cracks spread through it as the shield shattered into pieces.

Advance Bounder ran back and pressed her Wizard Driver’s left Shift Lever four times. [TOUCH TO CAST THE NEXT LEVEL! VERY NICE!] Then she scanned her left glove over her Wizard Driver’s Hand Author as all of the emitters on her body released green and yellow magical energy. [ADVANCE BOUNDER S TIER SPELL! THE BEST!] It gathered around her boots as she ran forwards and delivered a double dropkick to the Phantom, causing it to go shooting back and explode from the force behind the twin kicks.

Kamen Rider Weapon pressed the Crescent Rose Whistle once and then slammed the Dust Knuckle into the Weapon Driver. [S-C-Y-T-H-E!] The Crescent Scythe appeared in her glove and she slashed the Wizard Phantom twice, cutting into its shield with the reaper polearm and generating sparks.

Then Weapon pressed the Earth Dust Whistle once and slammed the Dust Knuckle into the Weapon Driver. [E-A-R-T-H D-U-S-T! C-H-A-R-G-E!] The Crescent Scythe glowed orange as she started spinning it in front of her. The Wizard Phantom fired a spinning red spear that slammed into the makeshift shield and drove Weapon back at step but did no damage to her.

Grimm removed the Aura Knuckle from the Grimm Driver and then switched the Rose Speed Whistle for a white Whistle with a red dragon in front of it. [D-R-A-G-O-N R-A-G-E!] Then she pressed her glove against the left side of the Aura Knuckle. [R-E-A-D-Y!] Then she slammed it into the right side of the Grimm Driver. [F-I-S-T O-N!] The hologram of a dragon appeared in front of the Aura Knuckle and started to spin before shooting off. It turned into a hologram of armour that slammed into Grimm. The roses on the emblem on her chest plate transformed into a long golden dragon with red eyes that curled around the bear.

It was at that moment the cross on her faceplate opened, revealing her red circle shaped visors as a wave of energy flashed out from her body. 

With the Wizard Phantom vanquished, Peryton Phantoms appeared in the air.

They did so at the worst possible time.

The Advance Timer’s first clock hand reached the purple zone.

Symbol noticed this and pressed the Advance Timer’s Hand Author’s thumb. [BLASTER ADVANCE!] The advance blaster magic circle appeared near Symbol and the Advance Blaster Energy Clone jumped out of it.

She pressed her Wizard Driver’s left Shift Lever once as the Peryton Phantom started to charge up their lightning powers. [TOUCH TO CAST THE NEXT LEVEL!] Then she scanned her left glove over her Wizard Driver’s Hand Author as the emitters on her forearm guards started making purple magical energy. [ADVANCE BLASTER C TIER SPELL!] It gathered around her and formed into six orbs of purple magical energy. They shot forwards and tore through three Peryton Phantoms each causing them to blow up.

Advance Blocker pressed her Wizard Driver’s left Shift Lever twice. [TOUCH TO CAST THE NEXT LEVEL!] Then she scanned her left glove over her Wizard Driver’s Hand Author as the emitters on her shoulder pauldrons hummed to life. [ADVANCE BLOCKER B TIER SPELL!] Blue magical energy gathered in a circle shaped shield above the Peryton Phantoms. Then, with a wave of Advance Blocker’s glove, the shield shot down and slammed the Phantoms into the ground. Sparks exploded off them as they bounced off the floor.

Advance Bounder hit her Wizard Driver’s left Shift Lever twice. [TOUCH TO CAST THE NEXT LEVEL!] Then she scanned her left glove over her Wizard Driver’s Hand Author as her shoulder pauldron emitters started up. [ADVANCE BOUNDER B TIER SPELL!] Green magical energy gathered around her right boot as she went shooting forwards. She zipped through the Peryton Phantoms, kicking each of them before stopping on the other side of the platform. She stomped her boot on the ground and the delay on the damage was lifted as the Phantoms exploded.

Symbol and Advance Breaker leapt into the air as Advance Breaker hit her Wizard Driver’s left Shift Lever once. [TOUCH TO CAST THE NEXT LEVEL!] Then she scanned her left glove over her Wizard Driver’s Hand Author as the emitters on her forearm guards started to leak red magical energy. [ADVANCE BREAKER C TIER SPELL!] It gathered around her right fist as she threw a punch, hitting Symbol in the boots and catapulting her up to the Peryton Phantoms.

Symbol pressed her Wizard Driver’s left Shift Lever twice. [TOUCH TO CAST THE NEXT LEVEL!] Then she scanned her left glove over her Wizard Driver’s Hand Author as the emitters on her shoulder pauldrons fired up. [ADVANCE B TIER SPELL!] Yellow magical energy gathered around her elbows as Symbol blurred through the Peryton Phantoms, striking each of them with her elbows and making them explode as she appeared on the other side of the swarm.

As Symbol fell back towards the ground, she saw that a few Peryton Phantoms had survived and pressed her Wizard Driver’s left Shift Lever once. [TOUCH TO CAST THE NEXT LEVEL!] Then she scanned her left glove over her Wizard Driver’s Hand Author as yellow magical energy gathered around her right glove from the emitters on her forearm guards. [ADVANCE C TIER SPELL!] Symbol threw a punch that fired a fist sized beam of yellow magical energy. It shot through the air and slammed into the Phantoms, Symbol moved the beam to the left and right. All of the Peryton Phantoms were caught and swallowed by the beam.

At that moment the Advance Timer’s first clock hand completed a full rotation and reached the yellow section. [ADVANCE WEAPON TIME!] The second clock hand started to move. “What?” Symbol glanced at the Advance Timer, only to smash, backplate first, into the ground. The Advance Timer’s announcement had distracted her from landing on her boots. “Your timing is horrible,” grunted Symbol as she got back to her boots in pain. “Owie!” she muttered in pain.

Grimm pressed the Dragon Rage Whistle once, then she slammed the left side of the Aura Knuckle into the right side of the Grimm Driver. [D-R-A-G-O-N!] Golden aura covered her arms and roared up the handle of the Ursa Hammer, into its head. Grimm swung the Usra Hammer around and crushed the Wizard Phantom under it. Causing the squashed Phantom to explode.

Suddenly, a pair of Peryton Phantoms appeared in the air and starting shooting lightning bolts at Grimm and Weapon.

Grimm pressed the Dragon Rage Whistle twice and then slammed the left side of the Aura Knuckle into the right side of the Grimm Driver. [R-A-G-E!] Golden flames surged over the Usra Hammer as Grimm swung it, firing a wave of golden fire at the Peryton Phantom. Only for the Phantom to stop flapping its wings and fall through the air, letting the wave pass over it.

Weapon pressed down on the Crescent Rose Whistle twice, then she slammed the right side of the Dust Knuckle into the left side of the Weapon Driver. [S-N-I-P-E-R!] The Crescent Scythe vanished in a flash of red light and the Crescent Sniper Rifle appeared. Weapon took aim and fired a single shot that slammed into the Peryton Phantom that she was fighting, driving it backwards.

Then she pressed the Earth Dust Whistle twice before she rammed the right side of the Dust Knuckle into the left side of the Weapon Driver. [E-A-R-T-H D-U-S-T! P-O-W-E-R-E-D!] Orange energy gathered around the barrel of the Crescent Sniper Rifle before Weapon pulled the trigger and fired a single high powered bullet that tore through the air and slammed into the Phantom, blowing it to pieces.

More Peryton Phantoms appeared in the air as Advance Blaster pressed her Wizard Driver’s left Shift Lever twice. [TOUCH TO CAST THE NEXT LEVEL!] Then she scanned her left glove over her Wizard Driver’s Hand Author as the emitters on her shoulder pauldrons lit up. [ADVANCE BLASTER B TIER SPELL!] Purple magical energy gathered around Advance Blaster before forming into a ring of purple orbs that shot outwards and pierced through the Peryton Phantoms.

Advance Bounder saw a piece of rubble that she could use as a ramp and pressed her Wizard Driver’s left Shift Lever twice. [TOUCH TO CAST THE NEXT LEVEL!] Then she scanned her left glove over her Wizard Driver’s Hand Author as the emitters on her shoulder pauldrons hummed to life. [ADVANCE BOUNDER B TIER SPELL!] She ran up the ramp as green magical energy gathered around her right boot, she thrust it out and pierced through the swarm as a green streak, making about ten of the Peryton Phantoms go up in explosions.

Suddenly, the Phantoms gathered their lightning and threw it forwards towards Symbol in one massive bolt. Advance Blocker ran in front of her creator and pressed her Wizard Driver’s left Shift Lever twice. [TOUCH TO CAST THE NEXT LEVEL!] Then she scanned her left glove over her Wizard Driver’s Hand Author as the emitters on her shoulder pauldrons started to glow. [ADVANCE BLOCKER B TIER SPELL!] Symbol flung her arms up and the energy formed into a dome shaped shield in front of her.

Advance Breaker pressed her Wizard Driver’s left Shift Lever twice. [TOUCH TO CAST THE NEXT LEVEL!] She jumped into the air as she scanned her left glove over her Wizard Driver’s Hand Author as the emitters on her shoulder pauldrons glowed. [ADVANCE BREAKER B TIER SPELL!] Red energy gathered around her right glove as she threw an uppercut that pulled her into the air and smashed several of the Peryton Phantoms into dust.

“Final!” Symbol pressed her Wizard Driver’s left Shift Lever four times as she and her clones stood in a hexagon formation. [TOUCH TO CAST THE NEXT LEVEL! VERY NICE!] Symbol scanned her left glove over her Wizard Driver’s Hand Author as their magic circle lit up under each clone’s boots. [ADVANCE S TIER SPELL! THE BEST!] A line formed on the ground, connecting each of the magic circles to Symbol’s advance magic circle. The clones turned into energy of their respective colors as they were pulled into Symbol’s right boot. She jumped into the air. “Advance Strike End!” her boot released energy that formed into a pair of large blades, which cut through the Phantoms as she kicked upwards.

Symbol landed back on the ground, panting slightly when a pair of Peryton Phantom burst out of the cloud revealing that they had survived by hiding at the very back of the group. “Oh no! I can’t move!” Symbol realised.

Suddenly, Advance Bounder appeared off to the side and pressed her Wizard Driver’s left Shift Lever twice. [TOUCH TO CAST THE NEXT LEVEL!] Then she scanned her left glove over her Wizard Driver as green magical energy was ejected from the emitters on her shoulder pauldrons. [ADVANCE BOUNDER B TIER SPELL!] She zipped forwards as green magical energy covered her right boot and the two Peryton Phantoms exploded as she streaked past them.

“I didn’t know that I could resummon you four after that spell,” Advance Breaker and Blaster helped her to her boots. “I mean, I thought the timer had to reset first,” corrected Symbol.

At that moment Grimm and Weapon rejoined them. They ran into the mansion, took a left turn, jumped down through a hole, took another left turn, jumped over a pit and were surrounded by a swarm of Shielded Icarus Phantoms.

Weapon removed the Dust Knuckle from the Weapon Driver and switched the Crescent Rose Whistle for the Ember Celica Whistle.

At the end of the last fight, the Advance Timer’s second clock hand had reached the red section. Symbol quickly struck the Advance Timer’s Hand Author’s thumb. [BREAKER SWORD!]

Advance Breaker reached into the breaker magic circle that appeared in front of her and pulled out the Breaker Sword. Then she spun the Upper Active Barrel until it stopped on the aqua magic circle she pulled the first trigger. [BREAKER SLASHING STRIKE!] Advance Breaker slashed through the air and fired a water crescent that cut through a dozen of the shielded Icarus Phantoms.

Advance Blocker saw the Icarus Phantoms getting ready to fire and pressed her Wizard Driver’s left Shift Lever once. [TOUCH TO CAST THE NEXT LEVEL!] Then she scanned her left glove over her Wizard Driver’s Hand Author as the emitters on her forearm armour started to release blue magical energy. [ADVANCE BLOCKER C TIER SPELL!] It gathered in front of herself and her sisters, forming into a square shaped shield. The Icarus Phantoms fired, their crossbow bolts slammed into the shield and caused it to explode. The bolts were sent flying backwards and sparks exploded from the Phantoms until they exploded.

But the Icarus Phantoms were somehow able to keep up the barrage until their spell ended and sparks exploded from her body.

Then Grimm pressed down on the Dragon Rage Whistle twice before slamming the Aura Knuckle into the right side of the Grimm Driver. [R-A-G-E!] Flames gathered around the Nevermore Gun Bow as Grimm took aim. Then she pulled the trigger, firing a bolt of golden flames that transformed into the shape of a Nevermore bird.

The emblem on her chest plate was transformed into a black boar with white bone armour and red eyes with a golden dragon that had red eyes curling around it.

Weapon pressed the Gambol Shroud Whistle down twice, then she slammed the right side of the Dust Knuckle into the left side of the Weapon Driver. [P-I-S-T-O-L!] The Ninja Katana transformed into a black pistol called the Ninja Pistol. She fired several shots that an Elite Blade Phantom used its sword to block.

So she pressed the Earth Dust Whistle down twice and slammed the right side of the Dust knuckle into the left side of the Weapon Driver. [E-A-R-T-H D-U-S-T! P-O-W-E-R-E-D!] Orange energy gathered in front of the Ninja Pistol as Kamen Rider Weapon pulled the trigger, firing a large bullet that was covered in hard rocks. The Elite Blade Phantom block the bullet with its sword, only for the bullet to tear through the sword and cut a hole in the Phantom.

Advance Blaster pressed her Wizard Driver’s left Shift Lever three times. [TOUCH TO CAST THE NEXT LEVEL!] Then she scanned her left glove across her Wizard Driver’s Hand Author as the emitters on her shin armour lit up. [ADVANCE BLASTER A TIER SPELL!] Six orbs of purple magical energy winked in around her. They shot forwards and slammed into one of the Elite Blade Phantoms from all directions. Sparks exploded off its body before the Phantom itself exploded.

Advance Blocker saw another Elite Blade Phantom that was about to swing its sword down at Advance Breaker, who was attacking another Elite Blade Phantom. She spun the Upper Giga Barrel and then pulled the first trigger on the Blocker Sword. [BLOCKER SLASHING STRIKE!] She pulled the Blocker Sword over her helmet in both gloves and slammed it into the ground. Rocks burst out of the ground, stopping the Elite Blade Phantom from reaching Advance Breaker as they formed into a spiky wall.

Advance Breaker nodded in thanks to her sister and spun the Upper Active Barrel, pressing the trigger to stop it. [BREAKER SLASHING STRIKE!] She kicked the Elite Blade Phantom back as the aqua magic circle was displayed. Blue water surged around the Breaker sword as Advance Breaker slashed horizontally, firing a crescent of blue water that cut an ocean blue cut through the Elite Blade Phantom. Sparks bleed from the cut before the Phantom exploded.

The Elite Blade Phantom that Advance Blocker had stopped lunged towards the one that had stopped its sneak attack. Only to be cut off by a green blur zooming past it. Advance Bounder skidded to a halt and pressed her Wizard Driver’s left Shift Lever once. [TOUCH TO CAST THE NEXT LEVEL!] Then she scanned her left glove over her Wizard Driver’s Hand Author, the emitters on her forearm guards hummed to life as she sprinted towards the Elite Blade Phantom. [ADVANCE BOUNDER C TIER SPELL!] Green magical energy gathered around her right fist as she slid under a horizontal slash and punched the Phantom in the chest. It was sent flying backwards from the speed and force behind the fist before it exploded.

Symbol noticed an Icarus Phantom appear in the air. “You again!?” ticked off, she pressed her Wizard Driver’s left Shift Lever once. [TOUCH TO CAST THE NEXT LEVEL!] Then she held her left glove in front of her Wizard Driver’s Hand Author as the emitters on her forearm guards hummed to life. [ADVANCE C TIER SPELL!] Yellow magical energy covered her right fist as she threw a punch that fired a yellow fist sized beam. It slammed into the Phantom and obliterated it.

Advance Blaster hit her Wizard Driver’s left Shift Lever once as she glared at three Icarus Phantoms that had appeared in the air. [TOUCH TO CAST THE NEXT LEVEL!] She scanned her left glove over her Wizard Driver’s Hand Author as the emitters on her forearm guards lit up. [ADVANCE BLASTER C TIER SPELL!] Six orbs of purple magical energy winked in and shot that the Phantoms. Two of them rammed into each Phantom, cracks spread through the Phantoms from the impact point before they exploded.

Then she pressed her Wizard Driver’s left Shift Lever four times as she saw three Elite Blade Phantoms stabbing their swords into the ground. [TOUCH TO CAST THE NEXT LEVEL! VERY NICE!] She didn’t know who their targets were and she was not going to find out as she scanned her left glove over her Wizard Driver’s Hand Author. [ADVANCE BLASTER S TIER SPELL! THE BEST!] The emitters on her body lit up, creating both purple and yellow magical energy that gathered in an orb in front of her while nine more small orbs winked in around it. Advance Blaster punched the orb.

“Blaster Impact!” shouted out Symbol. “Why did I do that?” she muttered oblivious to the finishing move taking place behind her.

The orb transformed into a giant beam that washed over the three Elite blade Phantoms while the nine small orbs fired smaller beams that pierced through the Phantoms was they exploded.

Grimm pressed down on the Boarbatusk Whistle once and then slammed 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!] Black armour, with white tusks on either side of her gloves, appeared on her forearms. She pulled the Boar Knuckles back and punched the Elite Blade Phantom, making it go flying backwards with sparks coming from its body.

Grimm pressed down on the Dragon Rage Whistle once and then slammed the left side of the Aura Knuckle into the right side of the Grimm Driver. [D-R-A-G-O-N!] Golden dragon head constructs appeared around the Boar Knuckles as Grimm punched forwards. The dragon constructs bit down on the Phantom and made sparks explode from the bite marks before the Phantom exploded.

Weapon pressed down on the Gambol Shroud Whistle three times before slamming the right side of the Dust Knuckle into the left side of the Weapon Driver. [G-A-M-B-O-L S-H-R-O-U-D R-I-S-E U-P!] The Ninja Pistol transformed back into the Ninja Katana as a Rock Clone formed beside Weapon. They both rushed towards the Elite Blade Phantom which brought its sword down. The Rock Clone blocked the sword with its copy of the Ninja Katana. Weapon dashed up behind the Elite Blade Phantom and slashed it across the back twice before ending the combo on a single, hard, downwards slash. It cut a vertical glowing cut into the Phantom, sparks exploded from the cut before the Phantom toppled over and exploded.

The three Kamen Rider and four Advance Clones jumped over the pit and ran around a right corner.

They moved through a door that led to the outside of the mansion.

Right into a meteor storm.

“How unstable is this place?!” shouted Symbol as she avoided a meteor.

“This unit believes the accurate measurement is: Very,” replied Nora’s voice from Kamen Rider Grimm.

“That was a rhetorical question!” shouted Advance Breaker.

“What she- wait a minute, you can talk?!” demanded Symbol.

“Of course we can!” shouted Advance Blaster as she blew up another meteor before it could hit them.

“Why did you never say anything before?!” demanded Symbol.

The Phantoms arrived.

“Because we’ve been a bit busy fighting this lot!” shouted Advance Bounder in a really hyper voice.

“So was even more hyper than me!” muttered Symbol.

“Her power is super speed,” stated Advance Blocker in a slow voice as if that explained everything.

Which it kind of did.

Let the battle begin.

Weapon removed the Dust Knuckle from the left side of the Weapon Driver. She removed the Earth Dust Whistle and switched it with the Fire Dust Whistle. [F-I-R-E D-U-S-T!] Then she pressed the right side of the Dust Knuckle against her left palm. [R-E-A-D-Y!] Then she slammed the right side of the Dust Knuckle into the left side of the Weapon Driver. [F-I-S-T O-N!] The flame hologram appeared in front of the Dust Knuckle and spun out into a suit of armour that smashed into Weapon. The rocky background of her chest plate transformed into a flaming background.

Weapon pressed the Gambol Shroud Whistle once, then she pressed the right side of the Dust Knuckle against the left port of the Weapon Driver. [K-A-T-A-N-A!] She held out her glove and the Ninja Katana appeared. She used the flat of the blade to block two swings from a Rage Phantom before kicking it.

It rolled through the air, landed on the ground and charged at Grimm. She pressed the Boarbatusk Whistle twice before ramming the left side of the Aura Knuckle against the right side of the Grimm Driver. [B-O-A-R-B-A-T-U-S-K! T-E-A-R-I-N-G!] Grimm curled into a ball and dashed at the Rage Phantom. It skidded to a stop but had no time to get out of the way before it was flattened. Sparks came off the Rage Phantom as micro explosions went off around it before the Phantom exploded.

Symbol noted that the Advance Timer’s second clock hand had reached the green section. She pressed the Advance Timer’s Hand Author’s thumb. [BOUNDER SWORD!] 

Advance Bounder dashed forwards. “Yeah! It’s my turn to slash!” she reached into the bounder magic circle and pulled out the Bounder Sword. She spun the Upper Swift Barrel and pulled the first trigger to stop it. [BOUNDER SLASHING STRIKE!] The Upper Swift Barrel stopped on the blade magical energy. Advance Bounder slashed with the sword horizontally, cutting into a Rage Phantom as sparks exploded from the green cut she had sliced into it.

Then she spun the Upper Swift Barrel a second time before pressing the first trigger to stop its spin. [BOUNDER SLASHING STRIKE!] It stopped on the zoomer magic circle as Advance Bounder unleashed a barrage of slashes that cut several dozens cuts into the Phantom, causing it to explode.

Another Rage Phantom fired a barrage of quills at Advance Blaster. She pressed her Wizard Driver’s left Shift Lever once. [TOUCH TO CAST THE NEXT LEVEL!] Then she scanned her left glove in front of her Wizard Driver’s Hand Author, the emitters on her forearm guards started to shine as the quills rocketed towards her. [ADVANCE BLASTER C TIER SPELL!] Six orbs of purple magical energy appeared around her and blocked all of the quills with ease.

“Time to counter attack!” Advance Bounder pressed her Wizard Driver’s left Shift Lever three times. [TOUCH TO CAST THE NEXT LEVEL!] Then she scanned her left glove over her Wizard Driver’s Hand Author as the emitters on her shins started to glow. [ADVANCE BLASTER A TIER SPELL!] The energy collected her gloves and was fired forwards as a large beam that smashed into the Rage Phantom, washing over it and forcing the Phantom to explode.

Advance Blocker and Advance Breaker had teamed up against a pair of Rage Phantoms. Advance Blocker pressed her Wizard Driver’s left Shift Lever once as one of the Rage Phantoms leapt at Advance Breaker. [TOUCH TO CAST THE NEXT LEVEL!] Then she swiped her left glove over her Wizard Driver’s Hand Author as the emitters on her forearm guards started to glow. [ADVANCE BLOCKER C TIER SPELL!] She held up her right glove and at her command, the magical energy formed a blue square shaped shield in front of the Rage Phantom, stopping it from reaching Advance Breaker.

Advance Breaker glanced at her sister and nodded as she pressed her Wizard Driver’s left Shift Lever once. [TOUCH TO CAST THE NEXT LEVEL!] Then she scanned her left glove over her Wizard Driver’s Hand Author as the emitters on her forearm guards started to glow. [ADVANCE BREAKER C TIER SPELL!] Red energy covered her right fist as she punched the Rage Phantom that had just lunged at her. Its neck was broken and the Phantom was sent flying back before it exploded.

“Woah!” Symbol ducked under a claw swipe from the Rage Phantom that she was fighting and pressed her Wizard Driver’s left Shift Lever twice. [TOUCH TO CAST THE NEXT LEVEL!] Then she scanned her left glove over her Wizard Driver’s Hand Author as the emitters on her shoulder pauldrons started to shine. [ADVANCE B TIER SPELL!] The energy gathered around her right elbow as her speed increased. She ducked under another swipe and slammed her elbow into the Phantom’s gut, sending it flying backwards.

Then Symbol pressed her Wizard Driver’s left Shift Lever once. [TOUCH TO CAST THE NEXT LEVEL!] She scanned her left glove over her Wizard Driver’s Hand Author as the emitters on her forearm guards started to release yellow magical energy. [ADVANCE C TIER SPELL!] It gathered around her right fist as she pulled it back and punched forwards, firing a beam of yellow magical energy that slammed into the Rage Phantom and caused it to explode. The beam carried on going and slammed into the final Rage Phantom that had pinned Advance Breaker and sent it flying into the endless drop.

Weapon removed the Dust Knuckle from the Weapon Driver and switched the Gambol Shroud Whistle for the Crescent Rose Whistle. [C-R-E-S-C-E-N-T R-O-S-E!] Then she pressed the right side of the Dust Knuckle against her left palm. [R-E-A-D-Y!] Before she pressed the right side of the Dust Knuckle against the left port of the Weapon Driver. [F-I-S-T O-N!] The Crescent Rose hologram appeared in front of the Weapon Driver and spun out, transforming into a holographic suit of armour that moved back and slammed into Weapon. The black katana and gun part of her chest plate transformed into a red scythe crossed over a red sniper rifle, both of them had black outlines.

Kamen Rider Grimm pressed down on the Boarbatusk Whistle three times before ramming 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! R-I-S-E U-P!] Golden energy surrounded her body before transforming into a long snake dragon with golden outlines. It gave a loud roar as Grimm crouched and curled into a ball. She spun on the spot for several seconds before launching herself forwards. The dragon followed her as she rammed into a Blade Phantom, launching it into the air where it was biting by the dragon and forced to explode.

Weapon blocked another Blade Phantom from hitting Grimm from behind.

Grimm removed the Aura Knuckle from the right side of the Grimm Driver before switching the Dragon Rage Whistle for a white Whistle with a snowflake on the front of it. [W-H-I-T-E G-L-Y-P-H-S!] She slammed the left side of the Aura Knuckle into her right palm. [R-E-A-D-Y!] Then she rammed the left side of the Aura Knuckle into the Grimm Driver.

[ADVANCE BREAKER A TIER SPELL!] Red energy gathered around her right fist as she punched the ground, two Blade Phantoms were sent flying through the air and exploded.

Then she spun the Lower Active Barrel and pressed the second trigger. [BREAKER SLASHING STRIKE!] The Lower Active Barrel stopped on the slashed magic circle and Advance Breaker unleashed a barrage of slashes at such speeds that her arms left green after images as the Blade Phantom she was fighting exploded.

Advance Blocker pressed her Wizard Driver’s left Shift Lever four times. [TOUCH TO CAST THE NEXT LEVEL! VERY NICE!] Then she scanned her left glove over her Wizard Driver’s Hand Author as the emitters on her body started to release blue and yellow magical energy. [ADVANCE BLOCKER S TIER SPELL! THE BEST!] She held up her gloves and a blue cube appeared, trapping several Blade Phantoms with Advance Bounder.

Speaking of which, she spun the Upper Swift Barrel and pressed the first trigger. [BOUNDER SLASHING STRIKE!] It stopped on the sniper magic circle as blue magical energy gathered around the Bounder Sword. Advance Bounder pulled back her sword and stabbed forwards, it extended forwards and retraced less than a second later after stabbing a Blade Phantom, going straight through it, then stabbing another Phantom.

She ducked under a slash and then jumped over a fire line as she pressed her Wizard Driver’s left Shift Lever once. [TOUCH TO CAST THE NEXT LEVEL!] Then she scanned her left glove over her Wizard Driver’s Hand Author as the emitters on her forearms started to charge. [ADVANCE BOUNDER C TIER SPELL!] Green magical energy covered her gloves as she punched the Phantom that had tried to slash her and then the Blade Phantom which had fired the fire line.

Advance Blaster had been surrounded by Lesser Blade Phantoms and pressed her Wizard Driver’s left Shift Lever twice. [TOUCH TO CAST THE NEXT LEVEL!] Then she scanned her left glove over her Wizard Driver’s Hand Author as the emitters on her shoulder pauldrons started up. [ADVANCE BLASTER B TIER SPELL!] A ring of purple spheres winked in around her and shot outwards, piercing through all of the Lesser Blade Phantoms that had just jumped at her.

Seeing that six of the Lesser Blade Phantom had survived, she pressed her Wizard Driver’s left Shift Lever down once. [TOUCH TO CAST THE NEXT LEVEL!] Then she swiped her left glove over her Wizard Driver’s Hand Author as purple magical energy was summoned by the emitters on her forearms. [ADVANCE BLASTER C TIER SPELL!] Six orbs of purple energy warped in around her and shot toward the Phantoms, blasting through and destroying all six of them.

Symbol backflipped through the air, avoiding a slash from an Elite Blade Phantom. She landed on the ground and pressed her Wizard Driver’s left Shift Lever three times. [TOUCH TO CAST THE NEXT LEVEL!] Then she swiped her left glove over her Wizard Driver’s Hand Author as the emitters on her shins started to release yellow magical energy.

Then Symbol jumped over another slash and pressed her Wizard Driver’s left Shift Lever once.

Then she slammed her glove down on the Crescent Rose Whistle again and slammed the right side of the Dust Knuckle into the left side of the Weapon Driver. [S-N-I-P-E-R!] The Crescent Scythe vanished and the Crescent Sniper Rifle appeared in her gloves, she took aim and fired another bullet from the head of the last Lesser Blade Phantom on the battlefield.

Seeing two Blade Phantoms running towards her, Weapon pressed down on the Crescent Rose Whistle three times, then she slammed the right side of the Dust Knuckle into the left side of the Weapon Driver.

Symbol saw that the Advance Timer’s second clock hand had reached the purple section. She slammed her left glove down on the Advance Timer’s Hand Author’s thumb. [BLASTER SWORD!]

Advance Blaster reached into the blaster magic circle and pulled out the Blaster Sword. “Targeted and firing,” she spun the Lower Burst Barrel and pulled the second trigger to stop it. [BLASTER SWORD!] She stabbed forwards in rapid succession, sparks exploded from the Ravager Phantom that had just burst from the ground as it fell over and exploded from the amount of damage it had taken.

Then Advance Blaster spun the Upper Burst Barrel before pulling the first trigger to stop it spinning. [BLASTER SWORD!] It stopped on the glass magic circle and sword flashed, blinding another Ravager Phantom before it was cut in half, it had no time to do anything as it exploded.

Advance Blaster glanced over her shoulder pauldron as another Ravager Phantom charged at her from behind, she spun the Upper Burst Barrel again and pulled the first trigger. [BLASTER SWORD!] It halted mirror magic circle and Advance Blaster used the flat end of the sword to deflect the strike upwards, knocking the chainsaw away from her.

Before the Ravager Phantom had a chance to recover, Advance Blaster spun the Upper Burst Barrel and pressed the first trigger to stop it.

Another Ravager Phantom charged at Advance Breaker, however, Advance Blocker pressed her Wizard Driver’s left Shift Lever twice.

Advance Breaker jumped into the air as she spun the Upper Active Barrel around and pressed the first trigger to stop it. [BREAKER SLASHING STRIKE!] She came shooting downwards and used the Breaker Sword to cut the Ravager Phantom, which Advance Blocker had just stopped, in half.

[F-I-S-T O-N!] The Ember Celica hologram appeared in front of the Weapon Driver and spun into a suit of holographic armour that slammed into Kamen Rider Weapon. The red scythe and red sniper rifle part of the emblem on her chest plate transformed into a pair of yellow crossed gauntlets. At that moment the cross on her faceplate opened, revealing her blue circle shaped visors. The bottom two pieces of the cross moved under her visors, while the upper two pieces moved above them. Finally, the cross split in two vertically. 

Symbol jumped into the air, avoiding a slash from a Death Knight Phantom. Then she pressed her Wizard Driver’s left Shift Lever three times. [TOUCH TO CAST THE NEXT LEVEL!] She scanned her left glove over her Wizard Driver’s Hand Author as the emitters on her shins hummed to life. [ADVANCE A TIER SPELL!] Yellow magical energy surrounded her gloves as she landed on the ground and punched the Phantom’s shield, cracking it, but was forced to jump back as it slashed at her.

VERY NICE!] Then she scanned her left glove over her Wizard Driver’s Hand Author as the emitters on her body started to emit blue and yellow magical energy. [ADVANCE BLOCKER S TIER SPELL! THE BEST!] She held out both of her gloves as if warding something off. “Breaker! Now!”

Advance Breaker spun the Upper and Lower Advance Barrel before pressing the third trigger to stop the both of them. [BREAKER MATCH SLASHING STRIKE!] They landed on the Defend and Boost magic circles. Advance Breaker used the Breaker Sword to block a slash and then jumped into the air. She came down and slashed three Death Knight Phantoms in half with the Breaker Sword.

Only for three more Death Knight Phantoms to appear. Then she heard Advance Blocker’s warning and jumped back.

Just in time for the Containment Cube to form and trap the Death Knight Phantoms.

“Thanks, Blocker,” thanked Advance Breaker.

“No problem,” replied Advance Blocker. “Let’s try our combo move!” 

“You mean the one that creator used as use since you can’t detonate your own attack?” teased Advance Breaker.

“That’s not how I would have put it,” Advance Blocker’s lense twitched. “But yes I do mean that move.”

“Why didn’t you say so?” asked Advance Breaker.

“I JUST DID!” roared Advance Blocker.

Advance Breaker pressed her Wizard Driver’s left Shift Lever four times. [TOUCH TO CAST THE NEXT LEVEL! VERY NICE!] Then she scanned her left glove across her Wizard Driver’s Hand Author as the emitters on her body summoned red and yellow magical energy. [ADVANCE BREAKER S TIER SPELL! THE BEST!] It gathered around her left glove as she thrust it into the air and then slowly turned it into a fist. She ran forwards towards the Containment Cube. “Breaker,” began Advance Breaker.

“Blocker,” continued Advance Blocker.

“Impact!” they both roared.

Advance Breaker slammed her left fist into the Containment cube, red energy mixed with yellow and blue energy before the cube imploded. Crushing the three Death Knight Phantoms and causing them to explode.

Advance Blaster pressed her Wizard Driver’s left Shift Lever. [TOUCH TO CAST THE NEXT LEVEL!] Then she held her left glove in front of her Wizard Driver’s Hand Author as the emitters started to summon purple magical energy. [ADVANCE BLASTER C TIER SPELL!] It formed around her into six purple spheres that shot forwards and slammed into the six remaining Death Knight Phantoms. They weaved around the shields and slammed into the Phantoms, cracks spread through them, sparks bleed from the cracks and then they exploded.

Weapon pressed the Ember Celica Whistle once, then she slammed the right side of the Dust Knuckle into the left side of the Weapon Driver. [S-H-O-T-G-U-N G-A-U-N-T-L-E-T-S!] The Shotgun Gauntlets appeared on her arms in flashes of yellow light. Weapon started punching forwards, firing bolts of yellow flames that shot through the air and slammed into a Death Knight Phantom, its shield cracked after the first few hits before exploding after several more bolts impacted it.

Kamen Rider Grimm pressed the Boarbatusk Whistle once and then slammed 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! T-E-A-R-I-N-G!] The Boar Fists appeared back on her gloves in flashes of black and white light. She dashed forwards and uppercutted the Death Knight Phantom into the air, sending it shooting up as a grey streak.

Then she hit the White Glyph Whistle once and pushed the Aura Knuckle into the Grimm Driver. [G-L-Y-P-H-S!] A glyph appeared above the, still rising, Death Knight Phantom and shot the Phantom back down to the ground. Or more precisely, into Grimm’s fist. Cracks spread through the Phantom before sparks bleed from the cracks and it went up in an explosion.

“We don't have much more time!” shouted Symbol as she jumped across a gap. Then she leapt off a crumbling island and onto a see-through platform. It turned solid as she jumped off it and onto another island with the four Advance Style Energy Clones landing behind her, Grimm and Weapon landed on the island a few seconds later as the Phantoms appeared.

Let the battle begin.

Grimm removed the Aura Knuckle from the right side of the Grimm Driver, then she switched the White Glyph Whistle for the Copy Cat Whistle. [C-O-P-Y C-A-T!] Grimm slammed the left side of the Aura Knuckle into the flat of her right palm. [R-E-A-D-Y!] Before she slotted the Aura Knuckle back into the Grimm Driver. [F-I-S-T O-N!] The copycat hologram appeared in front of the Aura Knuckle and spun out into a holographic suit of armour that slammed into Grimm. The snow part of her chest plate emblem transformed into a prowling black cat with amber eyes.

Then she pressed the Copy Cat Whistle once and slammed the Aura Knuckle into the Grimm Driver. [C-O-P-Y!] A clone of fire appeared as she backflipped away from a Wisp Phantom’s slash. The second, the blade made contact with the clone, it exploded and sent the Wisp Phantom flying backwards, smoking with sparks coming from its body.

C-H-A-R-G-E!] The Crescent Scythe sparked and then burst into flames as she blitzed forwards and slashed the Wisp Phantom several times at high speed. Only the first few made contact as the Wisp Phantom was able to block the rest and kick her back.

Weapon removed the Dust Knuckle from the Weapon Driver and switched the Fire Dust Whistle for the Wind Dust Whistle. [W-I-N-D D-U-S-T!] Then she slammed the right side of the Dust Knuckle into the flat of her left palm. [R-E-A-D-Y!] Before she slotted it back onto the Grimm Driver. [F-I-S-T O-N!] The wind dust logo appeared in front of the Dust Knuckle and spun into a suit of armour that slammed into Weapon. The cross on her face plate closed back up as the fiery background of the emblem on her chest plate turned into a green windy one.

At the end of the last fight, the Advance Timer’s second clock hand had reached the yellow section. “My turn at last!” Symbol pressed the Advance Timer’s Hand Author’s thumb. [ADVANCE SWORD!] Then she ran forwards, reaching into the Advance magic circle that had appeared in front of her and pulling out the Advance Sword. Suddenly, the Advance Timer’s third clock hand started moving as the Advance Timer itself shouted. [ADVANCE PART TIME!] “I can’t wait to see what that one does,” cheered Symbol as she started to fight.

She spun the Upper Advance Barrel and pulled the first trigger to stop it. [ADVANCE SLASHING STRIKE!] It landed on the active magic circle and the Advance Sword was covered in red lightning. Symbol slashed the Wisp Phantom that had attacked her twice, blocking its swords before a hard downwards slash cut through the centre of it. Sparks bled from the glowing red line she had cut into the Phantom.

Then Symbol spun the Lower Advance Barrel before pressing the lower trigger to stop it. [ADVANCE SLASHING STRIKE!] It stopped on the active magic circle and the Advance Sword was covered in red lightning as she pulled it back and stabbed forwards, firing a beam of red lightning that raced through the air and slammed into the Wisp Phantom. It crossed its armed to block, but the metal blades conducted the lightning throughout its body.

Symbol dodged the Wisp Phantom as it swung at her. She spun the upper Advance Barrel and slammed down on the upper trigger to stop its spin. [ADVANCE SLASHING STRIKE!] It landed on the burst magic circle and purple magical energy cloaked the sword. Symbol stabbed forwards and fired a large beam of purple magical energy that slammed into the Phantom and forced it back, driving it straight through a rock with sparks coming off its body.

Then she ducked under a ferocious back handed swing as she spun the Lower Advance Barrel. [ADVANCE SLASHING STRIKE!] She pulled the trigger and it stopped on the burst magic circle, purple magical energy covered the Advance Sword as Symbol stabbed it into the ground. Four spears of purple energy appeared and shot at the Wisp Phantom, impaling it in four different places. It roared and the spears shattered, leaving sparks to fall from the wounds they had inflicted on the Phantom.

Symbol jumped into the air as she spun the Upper Advance Barrel and pulled on the first trigger to stop it. [[ADVANCE SLASHING STRIKE!] It landed on the giga magic circle as she held the Advance Sword in both gloves and swung it down in an overhead slash, cutting a green line through the Wisp Phantom that bled sparks in all directions as it roared out in pain.

Symbol pulled back the Advance Sword as she spun the Lower Advance Barrel and pulled the second trigger to halt it. [ADVANCE SLASHING STRIKE!] It landed on the giga magic circle as she pulled it back and green energy covered the Advance Sword. She stabbed forwards, stabbing the Advance Sword into the Wisp Phantoms chest, an explosion of sparks came from the impact point as the Wisp Phantom was sent flying backwards, it bounced along the ground before coming to stop and roaring at Symbol.

She responded by spinning the Upper Advance Barrel and pulling on the first trigger to stop it. [ADVANCE SLASHING STRIKE!] Yellow magical energy covered the Advance Sword as Symbol slashed through the air. Several spheres of yellow magical energy appeared in the wake of her slash and shot forwards. They slammed into the Phantom and exploded, shrouding it in smoke.

“Take this!” Symbol spun the Lower Advance Barrel and pulled the second trigger in order to halt its spin. [ADVANCE SLASHING STRIKE!] The Advance Sword glowed yellow as Symbol unleashed a barrage of stabs. Her arm moved so fast that both it and the Advance Sword left yellow after images. Sparks flew from the Wisp phantom as mico explosions went off around it. Then the Phantom fell to its knees and went up in a loud explosion that forced Symbol to back flip through the air.

Weapon pressed down on the Wind Dust Whistle once, then she slammed the right side of the Dust Knuckle into the left side of the Weapon Driver. [W-I-N-D D-U-S-T! C-H-A-R-G-E!] She covered the Crescent Scythe in green wind and slashed through the air. The blade fired a crescent of green wind that shot through the air and slammed into the Wisp Phantom. The Phantom crossed its armed and used its arm blades to block before uncrossing them and dispelling the wind blade.

Kamen Rider Weapon slammed down on the Crescent Rose Whistle twice and then slammed the Dust Knuckle into the Weapon Driver. [S-N-I-P-E-R!] The Crescent Sniper Rifle appeared in her right glove.

Grimm saw the Wisp Phantom charging at Weapon and removed the Aura Knuckle from the right side of the Grimm Driver. She replaced the Boarbatusk Whistle with the Nevermore Whistle [N-E-V-E-R-M-O-R-E!] Then she slammed the left side of the Aura Knuckle into the flat of her right palm. [R-E-A-D-Y!] She reconnected the Aura Knuckle to the Grimm Driver. [F-I-S-T O-N!] The Nevermore hologram appeared in front of the Grimm Driver and spun out into a holographic suit of armour that slammed into Grimm. The Boarbatusk on her chest plate’s emblem transformed into a Nevermore as the cross on her faceplate closed up again.

She pressed the Nevermore Whistle once and slammed the Aura Knuckle into the Grimm Driver. [N-E-V-E-R-M-O-R-E! B-I-T-I-N-G!] The Nevermore Bow Sword appeared in her right glove and she fired several bolts that caused sparks to explode from the Wisp Phantom’s back, stopping its assault.

Advance Breaker leapt towards as Wisp Phantom as she hit her Wizard Driver’s left Shift Lever once. [TOUCH TO CAST THE NEXT LEVEL!] Then she scanned her left glove over her Wizard Driver’s Hand Author as the emitters on her forearm guards hummed to life. [ADVANCE BREAKER C TIER SPELL!] Red magical energy gathered around her right fist as she threw a punch at the Wisp Phantom. Sparks exploded as Advance Breaker’s energized fist slammed into the Wisp Phantom’s arm blade and the two fought for control of the battle.

Advance Bounder dashed towards the Wisp Phantom from behind as she hit her Wizard Driver’s left Shift Lever three times. [TOUCH TO CAST THE NEXT LEVEL!] Then she swiped her left glove in front of her Wizard Driver’s Hand Author as her shin armour started to glow. [ADVANCE BOUNDER A TIER SPELL!] Green magic energy surrounded her shoulder guards as she tackled the Wisp Phantom. It was taken off guard and sparks exploded from its chest as Advance Breaker’s fist got through.

Advance Bounder spun the Wisp Phantom around several times and threw it into the air. Advance Blaster pressed her Wizard Driver’s left Shift Lever once. [TOUCH TO CAST THE NEXT LEVEL!] Then she held her left glove in front of her Wizard Driver’s Hand Author as the emitters on her forearm guards started up. [ADVANCE BLASTER C TIER SPELL!] Six orbs of purple magical energy winked in around her and shot into the air, slamming into the Phantom and exploding. Sparks exploded from the Wisp Phantom as it roared in pain front the impacts.

The Wisp Phantom gave a loud roar as Crow Bit Phantoms appeared around it and started to charge up purple lasers in their mouths. Advance Blocker hit her Wizard Driver’s left Shift Lever once. [TOUCH TO CAST THE NEXT LEVEL!] Then she scanned her left glove across her Wizard Driver’s Hand Author as the emitters on her forearm guards started charging. [ADVANCE BLOCKER C TIER SPELL!] She held up her glove as a circle shaped shield of blue magical energy appeared above them. The Crow Bit Phantoms fired and the lasers impacted the shield, causing it to explode. The force reflected as third of the lasers back at the Wisp Phantom destroyed a third of the lasers and let the other third of the lasers through.

“No, you don’t!” shouted Advance Blocker as she spun the Lower Giga Barrel and then pulled the second trigger to stop its from spinning. [BLOCKER SLASHING STRIKE!] She stabbed upwards and a blue circle shaped shield appeared, stopping the lasers that had gotten past the first shield.

“Sis,” shouted Advance Bounder as she ran towards Advance Breaker. “Give me a boost!”

“Rodger!” Advance Breaker pressed her Wizard Driver’s left Shift Lever twice. [TOUCH TO CAST THE NEXT LEVEL!] Then she scanned her left glove over her Wizard Driver’s Hand Author as the emitters on her shoulder pauldrons hummed to life. [ADVANCE BREAKER B TIER SPELL!] Red magical energy covered her left fist as she threw an uppercut at Advance Bounder’s boost. Her sister was flung into the air, shooting past the Wisp Phantom at high speeds.

Advance Bounder pressed her Wizard Driver’s left Shift Lever four times. [TOUCH TO CAST THE NEXT LEVEL! VERY NICE!] Then she scanned her left glove in front of her Wizard Driver as the emitters on her body released green and yellow magical energy. [ADVANCE BOUNDER S TIER SPELL! THE BEST!] The two colours of magic mixed with the leftover red energy around her boots. “Bounder,” began Advance Bounder.

“Breaker,” continued Advance Breaker.

“Impact!” the both of them roared.

Advance Bounder’s boots were both covered in red, green and yellow magical energy as she slammed them into the Wisp Phantom, sending it shooting down into the ground where lightning of three colours crackled over it before the Phantom went up in a giant explosion.

The Wisp Phantom that Kamen Rider Grimm had fired on, turned to the one who had fired at it and charged. Grimm pressed the Copycat Whistle once and then slammed the left side of the Aura Knuckle into the right side of the Grimm Driver. [C-O-P-Y!] She backflipped away from the Wisp Phantom and a clone of ice formed in her place. As it was forming, the clone trapped the Wisp Phantom’s left arm blade in the centre of its chest plate.

While the Wisp Phantom was struggling to free itself, Grimm pressed down on her Copycat Whistle twice before slamming the Aura Knuckle into the Grimm Driver. [C-A-T!] She took aim with the Nevermore crossbow and fired several bolts that were made from green and white wind. They slammed into the Wisp Phantom and exploded violently, tearing cuts into its body.

Seeing that the Wisp Phantom was too busy fighting Grimm to notice her, Kamen Rider Weapon pressed down on the Crescent Rose Whistle once and slammed the right side of the Dust Knuckle into the left side of the Weapon Driver. [S-N-I-P-E-R!] The Crescent Sniper appeared in her left glove, she pointed it at the Wisp Phantom and fired. A high calibre sniper bullets shot through the air and slammed into the Wisp Phantom. It tore through the Phantom and made sparks explode from the entrance and exit points.

The Wisp Phantom roared in pain as it turned to Kamen Rider Weapon, who pressed the Fire Dust Whistle twice and slammed the Dust Knuckle into the Weapon Driver. [F-I-R-E D-U-S-T! P-O-W-E-R-E-D!] Red energy gathered in front of the Crescent Sniper Rifle before Weapon pulled the trigger, firing another high calibre sniper round that smashed through the Phantom, exploding inside the Wisp Phantom to do even more damage.

At that moment the Advance Timer’s third clock hand reached the red segment. “Time to see what it does this time!” Symbol looked to Advance Breaker. “Breaker! Incoming power up!”

“Rodger!” replied Advance Breaker.

Symbol hit the Advance Timer’s Hand Author’s thumb. [ERROR!] 

There was a beat of awkward silence. 

“That was a bit disappointing,” spoke up Advance Breaker.

“Yeah,” agreed Symbol. Then she looked at the Advance Timer. “What the hell was that?!” she demanded. 

[A COMPONENT OF THE SPELL MATRIX IS MISSING!] reported the Advance Timer.

“Just great- ah!” Symbol as slashed across the chest plate by an Elite Blade Phantom that had snuck up on her while she was talking to the Advance Timer. “You’ll pay for that!” she pressed her Wizard Driver’s left Shift Lever three times. [TOUCH TO CAST THE NEXT LEVEL!] Then she scanned her left glove over her Wizard Driver’s Hand Author. As she blocked another slash with the Advance Sword, the emitters on her shins started to glow. [ADVANCE A TIER SPELL!] Yellow magical energy wrapped around her gloves as she threw the Advance Sword into the air, forcing the Elite Blade Phantom’s sword upwards. Then, before the Phantom was able to get its sword back, Symbol punched the Phantom twice. Sparks came from the impact points before the Phantom exploded.

Advance Breaker spun the Lower Active Barrel and then pulled the second trigger to stop its spin. [BREAKER SLASHING STRIKE!] Red magical energy covered the word as Advance Breaker slashed upwards, cutting a vertical red line through the Elite Blade Phantoms. Sparked bleed from the line before the Phantom went up in a large explosion.

Advance Blocker saw an Elite Blade Phantom charging at Advance Blaster from behind. She got in front of it and spun the Lower Giga Barrel before pulling the second trigger in order to stop it. [BLOCKER SLASHING STRIKE!] The barrel landed on the hammer magic circle as Symbol brought the Blocker Sword around in a heavy swing that deflected the Elite Blade Phantoms sword.

“You have my thanks sister,” stated Advance Blaster.

“You can thank me by shooting the five Elite Blade Phantoms that have surrounded us!” shouted Advance Blocker.

“Targeted and firing!” replied Advance Blaster as she pressed her Wizard Driver’s left Shift Lever twice. [TOUCH TO CAST THE NEXT LEVEL!] The Elite Blade Phantoms stabbed their swords into the ground and created fire lines that shot towards the two Advance Style Energy Clones. “Block it!” shouted Advance Blaster as she scanned her left glove over her Wizard Driver’s Hand Author. [ADVANCE BLASTER B TIER SPELL!] A ring of purple spheres appeared around Symbol and shot outwards, they slammed into the Phantoms and tore a hole through them. Cracks spread from the holes and sparks bleed from the cracks until the Phantoms exploded.

Advance Blocker pressed her Wizard Driver’s left Shift Lever four times. [TOUCH TO CAST THE NEXT LEVEL! THE BEST!] As the fire lines approached, she scanned her left glove in front of her Wizard Driver’s Hand Author and the emitters started released blue along with yellow magical energy. [ADVANCE BLOCKER S TIER SPELL! THE BEST!] Then she thrust her arms out so the energy formed into a Containment Cube around herself and Advance Blaster. The fire lines slammed into the Containment Cube and were dispelled instantly.

Grimm removed the Aura Knuckle from the right side of the Grimm Driver. Then she switched the Nevermore Whistle for the Ursa Whistle. [U-R-S-A!] Grimm slammed the left side of the Aura Knuckle into the flat of her right palm. [R-E-A-D-Y!] She slammed the left side of the Aura Knuckle into the right side of the Grimm Driver. [F-I-S-T O-N!] The Ursa hologram appeared in front of the Grimm Driver and spun out into the holographic suit of armour that slammed back into her. The Nevermore part of her chest plate’s emblem transformed into an Ursa.

Kamen Rider Weapon leapt back from the Wisp Phantom and removed the Dust Knuckle from the left side of the Weapon Driver. Then she switched the Crescent Rose Whistle for the Crocea Mors Whistle. [C-R-O-C-E-A M-O-R-S!] Weapon slammed the right side of the Dust Knuckle into the flat of her left palm. [R-E-A-D-Y!] Then she pressed the right side of the Dust Knuckle into the left side of the Weapon Driver. [F-I-S-T O-N!] The Crocea Mors hologram appeared in front of the Weapon Driver and spun out into the holographic suit of armour that slammed back into her. The scythe and sniper rifle part of her chest plate’s emblem transformed into a golden board sword in front of a white kite shield.

Meanwhile, the Advance Timer’s third clock hand had reached the blue segment of the timer. Symbol saw this. “Let’s hope that it works this time,” she pressed the Advance Timer’s Hand Author’s thumb. [ERROR!] “AGAIN?!” shouted Symbol before she was forced to block a red spinning spear from a Wizard Phantom with the flat side of the Advance Sword.

Symbol spun the Lower Advance Barrel before pulling the second trigger to stop it. [ADVANCE SLASHING STRIKE!] It stopped on the burst magic circle, Symbol stabbed it into the ground and four purple spears appeared. They teleported so that they were orbiting the Wizard Phantom with their points, pointing inwards. Then they thrust inwards, shattering the Wizard Phantom’s barrier.

Then Kamen Rider Symbol spun the two Advance Barrels before pressing the third trigger in order to stop them. [ADVANCE MATCH SLASHING STRIKE!] They both stopped on the active magic circle. The Advance Sword was covered in red lightning as Symbol fired a bolt of lightning from it into the Phantom. Then she dashed forwards and slashed the Wizard Phantom across the hole that the lightning and punched through it. Sparks came from the hole and the glowing red cut until the Wizard Phantom exploded.

Advance Breaker saw another Wizard Phantom fire a line of rocks at her and pressed her Wizard Driver’s left Shift Lever twice. [TOUCH TO CAST THE NEXT LEVEL!] Then she swiped her left glove over her Wizard Driver’s Hand Author as the emitters on her shoulder pauldrons fired up. [ADVANCE BREAKER B TIER SPELL!] Red energy coiled around her right fist as she punched upwards. Her fist hit the rock line and stopped it with ease, breaking the rocks into pieces, several of which peppered the Wizard Phantom’s shield, causing it to crack.

Then she jumped into the air as she struck her Wizard Driver’s left Shift Lever three times. [TOUCH TO CAST THE NEXT LEVEL!] She scanned her left glove over her Wizard Driver’s Hand Author as red magical energy came from the emitters on her shin guards. [ADVANCE BREAKER A TIER SPELL!] The energy gathered around her left fist as she punched downwards. Advance Breaker went shooting down and slammed her fist into the Phantom’s shield, breaking it into pieces and smashing the Wizard Phantom into the ground which then exploded.

Advance Breaker saw the next Wizard Phantom fire a red spinning spear at Advance Bounder. Seeking to protect her sister, she slammed her glove down on her Wizard Driver’s left Shift Lever twice. [TOUCH TO CAST THE NEXT LEVEL!] Then she held her left glove in front of her Wizard Driver’s Hand Author as the emitters on her shoulder pauldrons started to glow. [ADVANCE BLOCKER B TIER SPELL!] The energy gathered to Advance Bounder’s left, startling her. That startlement turned to understanding when the red spinning spear slammed into the shield. The shield surged forwards, forcing the spear back and slamming it into the Wizard Phantom’s barrier, cracking it.

“Thanks, sis!” shouted Advance Bounder as she hit her Wizard Driver’s left Shift Lever twice. [TOUCH TO CAST THE NEXT LEVEL!] She scanned her left glove over her Wizard Driver’s Hand Author as the emitters on her shoulder pauldrons hummed to life. [ADVANCE BOUNDER B TIER SPELL!] Green magical energy gathered around her boots as she blitzed forwards and delivered a flying kick to the Phantom, smashing through its barrier and slamming her boot into the Phantom’s gut. Sparks flew from the impact point as the Phantom shot back and exploded.

It was at that moment that Advance Blaster struck her Wizard Driver’s left Shift Lever three times. [TOUCH TO CAST THE NEXT LEVEL!] She held her left glove in front of her Wizard Driver’s Hand Author as she her shin armour’s emitters lit up. [ADVANCE BLASTER A TIER SPELL!] purple magical energy gathered around her gloves as she pulled them back and thrust them forwards, firing a large beam that roared through the air and slammed into the Wizard Phantom’s shield. Which then exploded, forcing Advance Blaster to cancel the beam before it could be sent back at her.

Then Advance Blaster spun the Lower Burst Barrel, before pulling the second trigger. [BLASTER SLASHING STRIKE!] She unleashed a storm of stabs as it stopped on the dust magic circle. Sparks exploded from each stabbed point until the Phantom itself exploded in ash.

Weapon pressed the Crocea Mors Whistle down once then she slammed the right side of the Dust Knuckle into the left side of the Weapon Driver. [K-N-I-G-H-T S-W-O-R-D!] The Knight Sword appeared in her left glove and she slashed the Wisp Phantom twice before she found her weapon trapped between the Phantom’s arm blades.

Grimm pressed down on the Usra Whistle once and then she slammed the left side of the Aura Knuckle into the right side of the Grimm Driver. [U-R-S-A! B-I-T-I-N-G!] Black mist appeared and formed into the Ursa Hammer which Grimm slammed into the Wisp Phantom’s back, forcing it to let go of the Knight Sword.

Weapon pressed down on the First Dust Whistle once and then rammed the Dust Knuckle into the Weapon Driver. [F-I-R-E D-U-S-T! C-H-A-R-G-E!] The Knight Sword burst into flames as Weapon Slashed down, cutting a glowing red cut through the Wisp Phantom, then she slashed upwards, cutting a second cut before a third slash cut a third wound into the Wisp Phantom. Sparks exploded from the wounds as the Wisp Phantom backhanded the Kamen Rider through the air.

Grimm saw this and pressed down on the Usra Whistle three times before ramming the Aura Knuckle into the Grimm Driver. [U-R-S-A! R-I-S-E U-P!] Black mist covered the Ursa Hammer before turning into an energy copy of it. Grimm swung the Ursa Hammer and the copay down, smashing the Wisp Phantom into the ground. Sparks exploded from the impact point as micro explosions went off around the Wisp Phantom before it went up in a large explosion.

Part of the house collapsed as Symbol jumped off a floating rock and then jumped to the house. “Almost there,” muttered Symbol as she jumped the gap and landed inside the blue orb, in front of the Paradise gates.

Which then closed.

“Why can it never be easy?!” Symbol shouted to the sky.

The Phantoms arrived.

Let the battle begin.

Weapon looked at Grimm and they both nodded. “Combination protocol engaged,” they both droned. Weapon removed the Dust Knuckle from the left side of the Weapon Driver while Grimm removed the Aura Knuckle from the right side of the Grimm Driver. Weapon pressed the right side of the Dust Knuckle against her left palm while Grimm forced the left side of the Aura Knuckle against her right palm. [R-E-A-D-Y!] Then the two Kamen Riders slammed the left side of the Aura Knuckle into the right side of the Dust Knuckle. [D-O-U-B-L-E F-I-S-T O-N!] A holographic suit of armour appeared in front of them and slammed into the two Kamen Riders. Merging the two of them into a single Kamen Rider.

Kamen Rider Reamant’s chest plate bore a fiery red background behind a golden board sword that was in front of a white kite shield. The two weapons were held by a black Usra with a black cat prowling around its feet.

Remnant removed the Ozma Knuckle from the top of the Salem Driver and removed the Usra Whistle from its right slot, replacing it with the Nevermore Whistle. [N-E-V-E-R-M-O-R-E!] Then she removed the Copycat and the Fire Dust Whistles from the Ozma Knuckle’s left and right slots before she replaced them with the Rose Speed Whistle. [R-O-S-E S-P-E-E-D!] As well as the Wind Dust Whistle. [W-I-N-D D-U-S-T!] Then she slammed the bottom of the Ozma Knuckle into her right palm. [R-E-A-D-Y!] Before she docked the bottom of the Ozama Knuckle with the top of the Salem. [D-O-U-B-L-E F-I-S-T O-N!] The holographic armour appeared in front of her and slammed into Remnant. The emblem on her chest plate turned into a green windy background, with a Nevermore holding a golden broadsword and a white kite shield in its talons with a bed of roses underneath the bird.

Symbol noted that during the last fight the Advance Timer’s third clock hand had reached the green segment. “This had better do something!” she pressed the Advance Timer’s Hand Author’s thumb. [ERROR!] “Still nothing?!” screamed Symbol.

Advance Breaker pressed her Wizard Driver’s left Shift Lever four times as a Ravager Phantom set itself on fire and lunged at her. [TOUCH TO CAST THE NEXT LEVEL!] Then she scanned her left glove over her Wizard Driver’s Hand Author as the emitters on her shoulder pauldrons hummed to life. [ADVANCE BREAKER B TIER SPELL!] Red magical energy covered her right glove as she uppercutted the Phantom into the air, using the momentum of her fist to pull herself up after it.

While she was in the air, Advance Breaker spun the Lower Active Barrel, then she pressed the trigger to stop its spin. [BREAKER SLASHING STRIKE!] It landed on the ice magic circle. “Not what I was going for but I’ll take it!” shouted Advance Breaker as she slashed the Ravager Phantom. Ice spread from the glowing blue cut as the Phantom froze over and fell to the ground, shattering.

Another Ravager Phantom ran at Advance Breaker as she landed back on the ground. Advance Blocker saw that her sister would not be able to get out of the way and hit her Wizard Driver’s left Shift Lever twice. [TOUCH TO CAST THE NEXT LEVEL!] Then she scanned her left glove in front of her Wizard Driver’s Hand Author. [ADVANCE BLOCKER C TIER SPELL!] The emitters on her shoulder pauldrons summoned blue magical energy that formed into a square shaped shield in front of Advance Breaker. The Ravager Phantom rammed the shield with its chainsaw but only succeeded in throwing sparks everywhere as it was sent flying backwards when the shield exploded.

Advance Breaker nodded in thanks to her sister as she attacked another Ravager Phantom.

Advance Bounder side stepped another Ravager Phantom’s chainsaw and pressed her Wizard Driver’s left Shift Lever once. [TOUCH TO CAST THE NEXT LEVEL!] The emitters on her forearm guards summoned green magical energy after she scanned her left glove over her Wizard Driver’s Hand Author. [ADVANCE BOUNDER C TIER SPELL!] Green magical energy covered her right fist as she blitzed around behind the Ravager Phantom and punched it in the head where it turned towards her, sending it flying off to the side as the punch had been a hook.

Then Advance Blaster pressed her Wizard Driver’s left Shift Lever three times. [TOUCH TO CAST THE NEXT LEVEL!] She scanned her left glove over her Wizard Driver’s Hand Author as the emitters on her shin guards started to glow with purple magical energy. [ADVANCE BLASTER A TIER SPELL!] It gathered around her open palmed as she held them back and then thrust them forwards. The energy turned into a giant beam that washed over the Ravager Phantom, which had just been sent flying towards her by Advance Bounder, causing it to explode.

Advance Breaker spun the Upper Active Barrel and then pulled the Breaker Sword’s first trigger. [BREAKER SLASHING STRIKE!] It stopped on the aqua magic circle as Advance Breaker slashed to the side, firing a crescent of water that sent the Ravager Phantom she had been fighting flying.

Symbol saw the Ravager Phantom flying towards her. “Hey! Watch it!” she pressed her Wizard Driver’s left Shift Lever once. [TOUCH TO CAST THE NEXT LEVEL!] Then she scanned her left glove over her Wizard Driver’s Hand Author as the emitters in her forearm guards hummed to life. [ADVANCE C TIER SPELL!] She tightened her fist as the yellow magic energy gathered around it and punched forwards. The energy flew out in a beam that slammed into the Ravager Phantom and destroyed it.

Then she pressed her Wizard Driver’s left Shift Lever twice. [TOUCH TO CAST THE NEXT LEVEL!] The emitters on her shoulder pauldrons hummed to life as she scanned her left glove over her Wizard Driver’s Hand Author. [ADVANCE B TIER SPELL!] The energy gathered around her left elbow as she drove it into final Ravager Phantom’s face. The Phantom was sent shooting back with cracks spreading through its body as it exploded.

Remnant pressed the Crocra Mors and Nevermore Whistles once before slamming the bottom of the Ozma Knuckle into the top of the Salem Driver. [K-N-I-G-H-T S-W-O-R-D!] [N-E-V-E-R-M-O-R-E! B-I-T-I-N-G!] The Black Knight Sword appeared in her right glove as she slashed at the Tyrant Phantom that was charging at her. Sparks exploded from the two cuts that she scored.

The Tyrant Phantom set its knuckles on fire and swing at Remnant. She quickly pressed down on the top of the Salem Driver twice before ramming the bottom of the Ozma Knuckle into the top of the Salem Driver. [K-N-I-G-H-T S-H-I-E-L-D!] The Knight Shield appeared in front of her. [N-E-V-E-R-M-O-R-E! T-E-A-R-I-N-G!] Followed by the Nevermore Wings. The Nevermore Wings detached from her back and fused with the front of the Knight Shield. The shield turned black with the outlines of it remaining pure white. This is the Black Wing Shield.

Remnant used the Black Wing Shield to block the Tyrant Phantom’s fist. The Phantom pulled back its other fist and punched at the shield, only to get the same result. Seeing that the Phantom was not going to stop anytime soon, Reamant pressed the Rose Speed and Wind Dust Whistles twice before slamming the bottom of the Ozma Knuckle into the top of the Salem Driver. [S-P-E-E-D!] She vanished in a high-speed blur that left rose petals behind. [W-I-N-D D-U-S-T! P-O-W-E-R-E-D!] The Tyrant Phantom spun around and backhanded Reamant, only for the Black Wing Shield to get covered in green wind that made sparks come from the Phantom’s fist as the blow was deflected.

Symbol noticed that the Advance Timer’s Hand Author had reached the purple section. Knowing what was going to happen, she pressed the Advance Timer’s Hand Author’s thumb. [ERROR!] Despite knowing that was going to happen, Symbol could not stop herself from screaming: “WILL YOU DO SOMETHING ALREADY?!” causing the whole area to shake. “Oops! I probably shouldn’t have done that,” muttered Symbol.

Advance Blocker ran around a Rage Phantom as she spun the Lower Swift Barrel. [BOUNDER SLASHING STRIKE!] She pulled the trigger to stop it spinning and it landed on the turbo magic circle. “Aw, that wasn’t what I wanted,” she whined.

“Take what you can get!” shouted Symbol as she tried to stop a Rage Phantom from clawing her faceplate off.

Advance Breaker started stabbing the Ravager Phantom at high speeds that caused it to stagger back with sparks coming from its body before it exploded.

Advance Blaster pressed her Wizard Driver’s left Shift Lever once. [TOUCH TO CAST THE NEXT LEVEL!] Then she scanned her left glove over her Wizard Driver’s Hand Author as the emitters on her forearm guards hummed to life. [ADVANCE BLASTER C TIER SPELL!] Six orbs of purple magical energy winked in around her and shot at the Rage Phantom she had been fighting. They bulldozed through its quills and smashed into the Phantom’s back, causing it to explode.

Symbol hit her Wizard Driver’s left Shift Lever once. [TOUCH TO CAST THE NEXT LEVEL!] Then she scanned her left glove in front of her Wizard Driver’s Hand Author. [ADVANCE C TIER SPELL!] Yellow magical energy covered her left fist as she pulled it back and punched forwards. The first fired a fisted sized beam at a Rage Phantom that had just curled into a ball and done a spin dash at her. The beam punched through the Phantom and caused it to explode.

Advance Blaster hit her Wizard Driver’s left Shift Lever twice. [TOUCH TO CAST THE NEXT LEVEL!] Then she scanned her left glove over her Wizard Driver’s Hand Author as the emitters on her shoulder pauldrons started to glow. [ADVANCE BLASTER B TIER SPELL!] A ring of purple orbs winked in around her and shot outwards. They slammed through the five Rage Phantoms that had surrounded her. Cracks spread through the Phantoms before they all exploded.

Advance Blocker jumped over the next Rage Phantom as it spin dashed at her and hit her Wizard Driver’s left Shift Lever twice. [TOUCH TO CAST THE NEXT LEVEL!] She swiped her left glove over her Wizard Driver’s Hand Author as the emitters on her shoulder pauldrons lit up with green magical energy. [ADVANCE BOUNDER B TIER SPELL!] The energy gathered around her right boot as she performed a flying kick on the Rage Phantom. Her boot made contact and an explosion ignited between the two of them as Advance Bounder backflipped away from the Phantom before it exploded.

Advance Blocker noted another Rage Phantom spin dashing at Advance Breaker, she pressed her Wizard Driver’s left Shift Lever three times as she got between them. [TOUCH TO CAST THE NEXT LEVEL!] Blue magical energy surged from the emitters on her shin armour after she swiped her left glove over her Wizard Driver’s Hand Author. [ADVANCE BLOCKER A TIER SPELL!] The energy covered her in an aura, she crossed her arms and the Rage Phantom slammed into them. It was sent flying backwards after she uncrossed her arms.

Advance Breaker nodded in thanks to her sister as she hit her Wizard Driver’s left Shift Lever once. [TOUCH TO CAST THE NEXT LEVEL!] She held her left glove in front of her Wizard Driver’s Hand Author as her forearm guard [ADVANCE BREAKER C TIER SPELL!] Red magical energy covered her right glove as she ran forwards and slammed her fist into the Rage Phantom. Sparks exploded from the impact point as the Phantom fell over and exploded.

Remnant dodged back as the Tyrant Phantom swiped at her again and pressed down on the Rose Whistle, that was in the Ozma Knuckle’s left slot, once then she slammed the bottom of the Ozma Knuckle into the top of the Salem Driver. [R-O-S-E!] She glowed with red magical energy as she vanished in a blur. Rose petals appeared around the Phantom as sparks flew from its body, Reamant, unseen, slashed at the Tyrant Phantom from the cover of the flowers.

The Tyrant Phantom roared as it swung at the rose petals, only to hit nothing. After a few more slashes it let loose a burst of heat from its body, disintegrating the rose petals and sending Reamant flying backwards with sparks coming off her armour. She pressed down on the Wind Dust Whistle once and then slammed the bottom of the Ozma Knuckle into the top of the Salem Driver. [W-I-N-D D-U-S-T! C-H-A-R-G-E!] Green wind glowed around the Black Knight Sword as Reamant dashed forwards and slashed at the Phantom over a dozen times in less than a second. Sparks exploded from the many green cuts she had sliced into the Tyrant Phantom.

Then she backed off a good distance and removed the Ozma Knuckle from the Salem Driver. She took the Wind Dust Whistle from the right slot of the Salem Driver and replaced it with the Fire Dust Whistle. [F-I-R-E D-U-S-T!] Reamant slammed the bottom of the Ozma Knuckle into her right palm. [R-E-A-D-Y!] Then she placed it on top of the Salem Driver. [D-O-U-B-L-E F-I-S-T O-N!] The holographic suit of armour appeared and slammed into her. The windy green background of her chest plate’s emblem changed into a fiery red background. The cross on the right side of her faceplate closed, hiding her red visor.

Symbol noticed that the Advance Timer’s third clock hand had reached the purple section, she hid the Advance Timer’s Hand Author’s thumb. [ERROR!] “Why am I not surprised?!” she shouted as she avoided a fire line from an Elite Blade Phantom.

She pressed her Wizard Driver’s left Shift Lever once. [TOUCH TO CAST THE NEXT LEVEL!] Then she scanned her left glove across her Wizard Driver’s Hand Author as the emitters in her forearm guards lit up. [ADVANCE C TIER SPELL!] Yellow energy covered her right glove as she curled it into a fist and punched forwards. This action fired a fist sized beam that tore through the air and slammed into the Elite Blade Phantom, punching a hole through its chest and causing it to explode.

Advance Breaker ducked under a slash from another Elite Blade Phantom and spun the Upper Active Barrel before pressing the first trigger to stop it. [BREAKER SLASHING STRIKE!] She used the flat side of the Breaker Sword to deflect the Phantom’s sword upwards.

Then she hit her Wizard Driver’s left Shift Lever once. [TOUCH TO CAST THE NEXT LEVEL!] She held her left glove out in front of her Wizard Driver’s Hand Author as the emitters in her forearm guards started to shine. [ADVANCE BREAKER C TIER SPELL!] Red magical energy covered her left fist as she punched the Elite Blade Phantom in the chest. It was sent shooting through the air and exploded.

Advance Blocker noticed another Elite Blade Phantom running at Advance Bounder and hit her Wizard Driver’s left Shift Lever once. [TOUCH TO CAST THE NEXT LEVEL!] She then swiped her left glove in front of her Wizard Driver’s Hand Author as the emitters on her forearm guards started humming. [ADVANCE BLOCKER C TIER SPELL!] At Advance Blocker’s direction, a square shaped shield of blue magical energy appeared in front of Advance Blocker, stopping both the Advance Style Energy Clone and the Elite Blade Phantom were stopped, with the latter prevented from hitting the former.

“Thanks!” shouted Advance Bounder to Advance Blocker as she pressed her Wizard Driver’s left Shift Lever once. [TOUCH TO CAST THE NEXT LEVEL!] Then she aligned her left glove with her Wizard Driver’s Hand Author as the emitters on her forearm guards started up. [ADVANCE BOUNDER C TIER SPELL!] Green magical energy covered her right fist as she zipped around behind the Elite Blade Phantom and punched it in the back. The Phantom froze for a second before it was sent flying through the air and exploded.

Then Advance Bounder spun the Lower Swift Barrel, before pulling the second trigger. [BOUNDER SLASHING STRIKE!] It stopped on the wing magic circle before Advance Bounder slashes along Elite Blade Phantom once from either direction, carving a pair of green cuts into the Phantom that bleed sparks before it fell over and exploded.

Advance Blaster pressed her Wizard Driver’s left Shift Lever once. [TOUCH TO CAST THE NEXT LEVEL!] Then she held her left glove in front of her Wizard Driver’s Hand Author as the emitters on her forearm guards started to glow. [ADVANCE BLASTER C TIER SPELL!] Six orbs of purple magical energy winked in around her and shot forwards, slamming into six Elite Blade Phantoms. Cracks spread through them from the impact points before they exploded.

Symbol jumped into the air and spun the Upper Advance Barrel before pulling the trigger to stop it. [ADVANCE SLASHING STRIKE!] The Advance Sword was covered in green energy as she swung it down, cutting a glowing green line through the last Elite Blade Phantom. Sparks came from its body before the Phantom exploded.

It was at that moment Reamant pressed down on the Crocra Mors three times and the Fire Dust Whistle once before she slammed the bottom of the Ozma Knuckle into the top of the Salem Driver. [C-R-O-C-E-A M-O-R-S! R-I-S-E U-P!] Black fire covered the Black Knight Sword giving off an eerie glow as Reamant sprinted forwards and then jumped into the air. She held the Black Knight Sword above her helmet with both gloves and then swung it down, cutting through the Tyrant Phantom. Sparks bled from the glowing black cut she sliced into it. Micro explosions went off around the Phantom as the flames spread over it before with a scream of pain it exploded into ash.

It was at that moment an Imprisoner Phantom burst from the ground.

“Please tell me that is a Gem Maiden in disguise, like you four,” Symbol begged Kamen Rider Remnant.

“Negative Mistress,” replied Remnant. “That is a full powered Phantom.” 

“What means it is leagues stronger than the Imprisoner Phantom that was really you four in camouflage,” whined Symbol.

“This is bad,” muttered Advance Blocker.

“You think?!” demanded Advance Bounder.

“We can take it!” shouted Advance Breaker.

“Negative,” replied Advance Blaster.

While her Advance Style Energy Clones were getting into a fight with each other, Symbol’s attention was pulled to the gates of Paradise opening.

“Mistress,” barked out Kamen Rider Remnant.

Symbol’s attention was pulled back to the other Kamen Rider.

“We will hold the Phantom back while you escape,” reported Remnant.

“No way!” 

“Absolutely not!” 

“Not a chance in hell!” 

“Reamant no!” 

“Don’t even think about it Reamant!” 

The Gem Maiden Kamen Rider stumbled as Symbol and all four of her Advanced Style Energy Clones yelled at her. “But, we do not have enough power between us to defeat that Phantom,” she explained.

“We still have one thing left,” Symbol glanced down at the Advance Timer as its third clock hand ticked onto the yellow section.

Advance Breaker scoffed. “That thing hasn’t worked right in ages.”

“But it might work now,” stated Advance Bounder.

“You forget sister,” stated Advance Bounder.

“When a Kamen Rider is at their lowest,” continued Advance Blaster.

“Is when they are at their highest,” finished Symbol. She rested her left glove on the Advance Timer’s Hand Author’s thumb and glared at the Imprisoner Phantom. “Strange luck, don’t fail me now!” 

She pressed down.

[ADVANCE COMBINATION TIME!] “YES!” shouted Symbol and her Advance Style Energy Clones. Suddenly, their magic circles formed behind them and they were pulled into the air. Symbol was in the centre with Advance Breaker above her, Advance Blocker to her left, Advance Blaster was under her and Advance Blaster was positioned to her right. The Advance Style Energy Clones were suddenly broken down into streaks of red, blue, green and purple light respectively. The streaks angled inwards and slammed into Symbol, making a blast of silver, red, blue, green and purple energy shot out of her.

When the energy cleared, Symbol landed on the ground in her new form.

Her helmet had turned silver with a bronze X in the centre of her forehead, coming out of which was a pair of silver antenna that formed a V. Her faceplate was a bright yellow X shaped gem with a pair of black lines coming from the top of it that looped around the back of her helmet acting as a strap. Her bodysuit had stayed pitch black with attached black gloves and black boots. Her robe was still open and the silver chest plate looked to shine, the circle in the centre of it was glowing yellow with a black zero five in the centre of it. Her robe shone with pure silver, both inside and out. The four lights on her robe glowed their respective colours. Her shoulder emitters were now bright red, the shoulder pauldrons they were embedded into glowed bright silver. Her forearm guards were coloured silver with the emitters on them being blue. She now had an emitter on the outside of her upper legs that was coloured purple with silver outlines. The emitters on her shin guards were outlined in bright silver armour and were glowing green.

This was Kamen Rider Symbol Full Advance Style. Otherwise known as her Complete Upgraded Form.

Symbol saw the Imprisoner Phantom pull a rock from the ground and pressed her Wizard Driver’s left Shift Lever four times. [TOUCH TO CAST THE NEXT LEVEL! VERY NICE!] Then she scanned her left glove over her Wizard Driver’s Hand Author as the emitters on her body started to glow in their respective colours. [FULL ADVANCE S TIER SPELL! THE BEST!] The energy flowed around her right boot as she jumped into the air and came shooting down. Constructs of the Advance Style Energy Clones, along with the Advanced Style, formed next to her before shooting forwards. They smashed through the rocks and slammed into the Imprisoner Phantom, each one transformed into their magic circle as they slammed into the Phantom. For a second, Symbol could have sworn that she was looking at a larger version of the Advance Timer’s clock face. “Take this! Full Advance Impact!” she slammed her right boot into the centre of the large magic circle. Sparks exploded in all directions as the Heroine of the story forced the Imprisoner Phantom back.

After several seconds, she broke through the Phantom and appeared on the other side of it. Lightning of four colours sparked out of the hole that she had created as cracks spread through the Phantom before it fell over and exploded.

Symbol fell to one knee as her transformation faded. All of the fighting she had done in the last few days caught up to her as she started to lose consciousness. She was dimly aware of being picked up and carried towards a bright light before she fully passed out.
> S2E1 Crazy Party
> --------------------------------------------------------------------------

“You’ve heard of it, haven’t you?” spoke a female voice. “The legend of Sparda and Eva? When I was young my Father would tell me stories about it,” a Kamen Rider was seen in the rain, running along a platform, holding a familiar sword. “Long ago, in ancient times. The Phantom and the Gem Maiden rebelled against their own kind for the sake of the human race,” the Kamen Rider swung his sword overhead. 

“With their powers, they sealed the Phantom and Gem Maiden Leaders back on their homeworlds. Cutting the forces off from their leaders. Preventing their races from taking over our human world and many other worlds,”  another Kamen Rider, holding an equally familiar sword, pulled his sword up and swung it down. 

“But since they were both high level Phantoms and Gem Maidens, a lot of their own power was trapped on the other side,” the first Kamen Rider swung at the second Kamen Rider. He dodged and swung back. “I thought it was just a child’s fairy tale. But I discovered it was true.” 

“I discovered that this so called legend, wasn’t a myth at all,” the second Kamen Rider leaned back to dodge a slash from the first Kamen Rider. “Sparda and Eva existed,” the two Kamen Rider’s clashed swords. “How do I know?” the two Kamen Riders swung at each other. “I met the Sons of Sparda and Eva, both of them, as well as their Daughter.”

The two Kamen Riders slashed at each other with enough speed to obliterate every single raindrop around them, leaving a dry space in the rainstorm, for a second before the rain surged back inwards. “Though the blood of their Father and Mother flowed through their veins, the two battled each other like arch enemies. 

The two Kamen Riders locked swords, sparked ground from the contact points as they pressed against each other. “It seemed they derived some sort of twisted pleasure from this brotherly fighting,” the two swords started to heat up as they were forced against each other with even more force.

Suddenly, the second Kamen Rider broke the sword lock and forced the first Kamen Rider’s sword into the air. The sword spiralled through the air and landed back on the ground, the reflection in the sword showed the second Kamen Rider charging his right boot with right and blue energy before the kicked the second Kamen Rider. An explosion ignited from the impact point as the first Kamen Rider was sent flying.

“But in the end,” the first Kamen Rider tried to get up, but sparks exploded from his body as he fell over. “Only one was left standing,” the second Kamen Rider stomped over to the first and raised his sword with murder in his visor.

Suddenly, a third and fourth Kamen Rider arrived, forcing the second Kamen Rider to jump away from the first Kamen Rider. “One of them would have killed the other if his Sister and her Retainer,” the second Kamen Rider grabbed the first Kamen Rider’s sword, then he rushed at the third and fourth Kamen Riders.

*RING!*

Dante awoke with a start, he gasped for breath as he looked around the room with his eyes wide in wild panic. Then he recognised where he was and scowled. “That damn dream again?!” he snarled.

Dante got up and slipped on his black combat boots, tucking his black combat trousers into them. He heard the phone ring again. “Yeah, yeah! I’m coming!” he shouted as he walked towards the door.

On the way, he glanced at a picture on the wall. It was of himself, Vergil, Kate and Sunset. Dante allowed a soft, yet sad, smile to creep across his face. “It’s still hard to believe that its been ten years since you died Sunset,” muttered the twenty eight year old. “I miss you,” he muttered as he opened the door and walked out the room.

The room was the main area of his new shop. For ten years, Dante had been world hopping, ripping apart every Phantom and Gem Maiden he could find in revenge for his sister’s death. Now, the problem had been getting worse and he knew he needed to be more organised. He could not just jump to a random world, only to find no Gem Maiden or Phantoms five times out of ten. Or only find a small invasion force seven times out of ten. 

He needed to target the big invasion forces and main worlds that Phantoms or Gem Maidens had taken over.

To do this, Dante had set up a shop and worlds that monitor or fought back against Phantoms as well as Gem Maidens could contain him through the special cross world phone on his desk. 

The shop was a two story building, the first floor was the shop area, while the second floor made up Dante’s living quarters. Ebony was on his desk, while his red coat was on a stand in the corner. Other than Ebony, the desk held a half finished box of pizza and a phone.

Which was still ringing.

Growling, Dante kicked his chair. It flipped through the air and landed on all four legs, he jumped into it and slammed his combat boots down on the desk, bouncing the phone’s receiver off the stand and into his hand.

“Sorry, not open for business yet,” Dante didn’t even let the person on the other end get one word out before he slammed the phone back onto the receiver. “I haven’t even picked a name for this joint and I’m already getting calls,” muttered Dante in a fair bit of shock as he started to eat his half finished and cold pizza.


Outside


A bald man in a black suit was standing outside of Dante’s shop.

Which was weird.

Dante had chosen to set up shop on this world as it was empty. All life on it had died out long ago.

All of his Phantom and Gem Maiden hunting jobs came from other worlds, so he no need to worry about his client base.

The man opened the door and walked inside.


Inside


“You a customer too?” asked Dante as the man approached his desk. He instantly pegged his man as a world jumper and not a nice one. “Well, if you want to use the bathroom, help yourself. The toilets in the back.”

The man seemed to ignore Dante as he ran his fingers along a pool table that Dante had off to the side. “Is your name Dante? Son of Sparda the Phantom and Eva the Gem Maiden?” he asked smoothly.

That got Dante even more on guard. “Where did you hear that?” he asked, trying to sound casual and failing miserably. 

“From your Brother,” replied the man as he stood in front of the desk. 

Now Dante could see that the man’s right eye was blue and the left eye was brown. He also had a red pulsing mark that came from the left side of his neck and stopped just under his left eye. He gazed at Dante’s third of the perfect amulet.

The Kamen Rider was even tenser, it had been a year since he last saw his brother and that meeting had not gone well. There was something different about Vergil, he was dark and had not mentioned Kate or Sunset once before attacking Dante.

“He sent this invitation for you,” the man reached down to the edge of Dante’s desk. “Please accept it,” then he flipped the desk with enough force to send it spinning through the air and crashing into the wall.

Dante had jumped off the chair, over his desk, grabbed Ebony out of the air and landed on the desk when it smashed into the wall, pointing his gun at the man.

Or at least where the stranger should have been.

He had vanished.

Dante scanned his shop for a second, confirming that the stranger had vanished. Then he scoffed as Ebony dematerialized. He jumped down onto the floor. “Invasion huh?” Dante caught his pizza box as it fell out of the air. Dante removed a slice of pizza and brought it to his mouth.

When several skeletal Phantoms with glowing red eye sockets, black robes and sharp scythe appeared out of nowhere and stabbed him through the chest.

Dante grunted before releasing a burst of mana that sent the Phantoms flying. Their scythe were forced out of his body as his wounds held and the Phantoms smashed into wall and through his drum set.

Dante walked across the room to his boombox. “This party’s getting crazy, let’s rock!” he pressed the play button.

Nothing happened.

After a beat of awkward silence, Dante slammed his fist down on the boombox and it started blaring out music at eardrum-shattering levels. 

Dante nodded along to the music as he held his Driver On Ring over his belt buckle. DRIVER ON! The magic circle appeared as his belt buckle grew out into his Driver. Then Dante let another Ring appear on his left index finger. It was silver with a large red gem in the centre that had a blue skull engraved into it. This is the Rebellion Ring.

A few years ago, Dante had gotten tired of one of his Rings having the same name as one of his Brother’s Rings. So he had forced it to transform from his Nephilim Ring into the Rebellion Ring.

Dante punched it into his Driver’s left slot. SET! Then he turned his wrist forwards. OPEN! The gate in the centre of his Driver sprang open, releasing his Nephilim magic circle. R-E-B-E-L-L-I-O-N! It moved back through Dante, transforming him into Kamen Rider Dante Nephilim Style.

Dante drew the Rebellion Blade from his backplate and punched the Rebellion Ring into the slot at the base of its handle. FOUR! The mouth opened to show four red and blue circles. REBELLION SABER STRIKE! Dante unleashed a barrage of slashes, the first of the Pride Phantoms blocked the first swing with its scythe and then slashed upwards. Dante dodged and two more slashes cut a red and a blue line into the Pride Phantom’s chest before it turned to dust.

Sensing another Pride Phantom about to decapitate him from behind Dante jumped into the air, making the Phantom miss. While he was still in the air, Dante punched the Rebellion Ring into the Rebellion Blade’s slot. ONE! The mouth opened once more and showed a single red and blue circle. REBELLION SABER STRIKE! “Ha!” shouted Dante as he took the Rebellion Blade in both gloves and slashed down. His sword dragged him down with it as it cut a glowing red and blue line through the Phantom. Sparks exploded every which way as the Phantom fell over and exploded.

Dante then ducked as another Pride Phantom slashed with its sword, the blade passed a millimetre of his helmet. He punched the Rebellion Ring into the Rebellion Blade’s slot again. THREE! This time when the sword’s mouth opened, three red and blue circles were shown. REBELLION SABER STRIKE! Energy gathered in the sword as Dante slashed the next Pride Phantom three times. The Phantom was able to parry all three blows with the shaft of its scythe, only for the Kamen Rider to take his sword in both gloves and cut through the Phantom’s scythe, then through the Phantom with a hard downwards swing.

Suddenly, several purple, glowing, spinning crescents slammed into Dante. Sparks exploded from his armour as he staggered back while the crescents exploded. Dante glared at the Pride Phantom as it charged up once more. “No way!” he punched the Rebellion Ring into the Rebellion Blade’s slot again. FIVE! Red and blue energy glowed around Dante as he blitzed forwards. REBELLION SABER STRIKE! Dante moved so fast that he seemed to appear in front of the Phantom and stabbed it straight through with the Rebellion Blade. Sparks exploded from the blade’s entrance and exit points before the Phantom exploded in a ball of flame.

Dante turned around and noted three more Pride Phantoms running towards him. “Big mistake,” muttered Dante as he slammed the Rebellion Ring into the Rebellion Blade’s port. SIX! Red and blue magical energy hummed through the Rebellion Blade as Dante pulled it back. REBELLION SABER STRIKE! The second the three Pride Phantoms got within sword range Dante unleashed several thousand stabs in less than a second. Sparks exploded from the Phantoms before all three of them twitched and went up in massive fireballs.

Seeing another Pride Phantom appear, Dante took it up a notch. He punched the Rebellion Ring into the slot of the Rebellion Blade. ONE! The mouth slammed shut and then snapped open to show a single red and blue circle. REBELLION SABER STRIKE! To the Phantom’s confusion, Dante placed the Rebellion Blade back on his backplate where it fixed itself magically. Then he slammed the Rebellion Ring into his Driver’s left port. GO! Red and blue magical energy surrounded his right boot as Dante took up a kicking stance. “Come on!” he taunted the Pride Phantom. KICK STRIKE! It worked as the Phantom rushed at him, Dante jumped into the air, causing the Phantom to miss as he came down with an axe kick from his charged boot. It slammed into the Phantom’s shoulder, unleashing an explosion that made the Pride Phantom go flying back before it exploded in mid-air.

Suddenly, a red blur zipped past Dante and sparks exploded out of his armour. He staggered back as the blur passed behind him and slashed his backplate making more sparks surge from the cut that appeared. 

Then the blur skidded to a halt. It was was a Phantom that looked like a white skeleton with red glowing eyes. It wore a combination between a jester outfit and a robe with a white fur collar that fanned out behind it. In its hands, it clutched a similar but much smaller scythe than that of the Pride Phantoms.

This is a Lust Phantom.

If Dante was in his human form, then he would have scowled. “Time to kick it up a notch!” he let a new Ring replace the Driver On Ring on his right middle finger. It was black with an orange gem that had a falcon face engraved into it with a pair of green eyes. This is the Falco Trickster Ring. Dante slammed the Falco Trickster Ring into his Driver’s right slot. FALCO! Then he held his right glove out to the side as a new magic circle appeared. GO! It had an orange flacon face in the centre, which was inside an orange circle, inside an orange eight pointed star that was within an orange two layered circle with green runic text within it. T-T-T-TRICKSTER! It passed through Kamen Rider Dante, transforming him.

His right shoulder pauldron transformed into an orange falcon head with a yellow beak and yellow feathers at the back. Coming from the new shoulder pauldron was an orange mantle that reached to his waist and had yellow feather shaped outlines at the bottom of it.

The Rebellion Blade glowed as the sword part of it gained orange outlines with the tip of the sword turning yellow. The bone shaped guard transformed into a pair of orange wings that had orange feathers with yellow tips.

He was now Kamen Rider Dante Rebellion Style with the Falco Trickster Mantle and was armed with the Rebellion Falcon Blade.

The Lust Phantom raced at Dante in a red blur. But the Falco Trickster Mantle increased his perception to the point that the Phantom was going at a seeable speed. Dante punched the Flaco Trickster Ring into the Rebellion Falcon Blade’s slot. ONE! The Rebellion Falcon Blades eyes flash with green ones as the Falco Trickster Mantle transformed into a pair of wings orange wings with yellow tips called the Falco Wings. FLACO SABER STRIKE! Dante used them to shoot into the air, letting the Phantom pass under him. Then he gave the Falco Wings a mighty flap as he shot down through the air. He held the Rebellion Falcon Blade over his helmet in both gloves as he swung it down, cutting an orange line through the Phantom. Sparks bled from the cut before the Lust Phantom exploded into a pile of ash and soot.

Suddenly, Dante saw another pair of blurs racing towards him and was only just able to jump back as two more Lust Phantoms skidded to a halt and jumped into the air, aiming to impale him with their scythes. Only to miss as Dante dismissed the Falco Wings and dropped back down to the ground.

Knowing that two against one was bad odds, Dante decided to switch Style’s to the one that the Falco Trickster Mantle worked best with. He switched the Rebellion Ring for the Aquila Ring and slammed it into his Driver’s left port. SET! Dante turned his wrist back, making his Driver’s gate close before he turned his wrist forwards, causing his Driver’s gate to spring back open again. OPEN! The Aquila magic circle appeared from Dante’s Driver and moved back through him, transforming him into the Osiris Style. A-Q-U-I-L-A! He held his gloves out as the Aquila Stars appeared. They were surrounded by a flash of orange energy as their blades transformed into orange wings with yellow tips.

Now he was Kamen Rider Dante Aquila Style with the Falco Trickster Mantle and armed with the Aquila Falco Stars

Dante punched the Aquila Ring into the Aquila Stars slot. ONE! They displayed a one as Dante dashed forwards. SHURIKEN STRIKE! One of the Lust Phantoms slashed at him, only for Dante to jump over it and slash it once across the back with the left Aquila Falcon Star. Then Dante jumped back and slashed the Phantom twice more after closing the distance.

Suddenly, Dante was forced to jump away as the other Lust Phantom slashed at him with its scythe. Dante quickly punched the Aquila Ring into the Aquila Star’s slot again. TWO! He dashed forwards got passed between the Phantoms. SHURIKEN STRIKE! Then he thrust out the Aquila Falco Stars. They cloned themselves so that there were now four of them and they circled the Phantoms before blurring into a ring of light blue and orange light. Suddenly, the ring snapped closed, binding the arms of the two Lust Phantoms to their sides. Then the rings moved back towards Dante, dragging their captives with them.

Dante let another pair of Aquila Falcon Stars appear in his gloves as he punched the Falco Trickster Ring into their slots. ONE! The Falco Trickster Mantle transformed into the Falco Wings as Dante took flight. FALCO TRICK! He started to fly around the Lust Phantoms, faster and faster as he picked up speed. Dante quickly transformed into a ring of orange light that suddenly slammed closed around the two Lust Phantoms. Sparks exploded from all sides as the inside of the ring ground into their bodies before the two of them went up in a massive explosion.

In a flash of orange light, Dante reappeared in the air before landing back on the ground. “What a great party!” he announced as several Elite Blade Phantoms appeared from the ground. “But it looks like it’s not over yet!” 

Knowing that he’d need a bit more power to deal with this lot, Dante switched the Aquila Ring for the Arbiter Ring. Then he slammed it into his Driver’s left port. SET! Dante turned his wrist back, then forwards, making his Driver’s gate close and open. OPEN! The arbiter magic circle appeared from Dante’s Driver and moved back through him. A-R-B-I-T-E-R! Transforming him into the Arbiter Style. He held out his gloves and the Arbiter Axe appeared, only the axe looked like an orange wing with yellow feather tips.

He was now Kamen Rider Dante, Arbiter Style equipped with the Falco Trickster Mantle and armed with the Arbiter Falco Axe.

Then Dante punched the Arbiter Ring into the slot at the base of the Arbiter Axe’s handle. ONE! Red magical energy surrounded the head of the Arbiter Falco Axe as Dante pulled it back. AXE STRIKE! Then he swung down, firing the Arbiter Falco Axe’s head off. It slammed into one of the Elite Blade Phantoms while discharging feathers that shot through the air and slammed into the Phantoms around it. On impact, the feathers exploded making sparks bleed off the other four Elite Blade Phantoms.

Seeing that the Phantoms were still alive, Dante punched the Arbiter Ring into the Arbiter Falcon Axe’s slot. TWO! Red and orange magical energy surged up the Arbiter Falcon Axe’s handle and into its blade. AXE STRIKE! Dante pulled it back and slammed it into the ground. From which blasted a line of red energy with feathers shooting out of it like darts. The energy reached the Elite Blade Phantoms and threw them into the air as sparks shot out of their bodies from the feathers hitting them and exploding.

Dante saw that the Elite Blade Phantoms were in the air and helpless, so he drew Ebony and Ivory. Then he held down on both of their triggers, letting three rings of energy get pulled into them. Red, white and orange were the rings for Ivory, while the rings for Ebony were identical with the exception of the white ring being black. EBONY AND IVORY STRIKE! Then Dante let go of the triggers. “Ricoshot!” a white and black bullet was fired from the barrels of the guns, they spiralled around each other as they soared through the air and bounced between the Phantoms. Sparks flew everywhere before the Phantoms all went up in explosions.

It was at that moment a Death Knight Phantom exploded from the ground and charged at Dante. 

He replied by punching the Falco Trickster Ring into his Driver’s right slot. ONE! The Falco Trickster Mantle transformed into the Falco Wings as Dante shot up into the air. FALCO TRICK! The Death Knight missed its swing as Dante reached the ceiling and shot back down. His boots glowed with orange energy as he slammed them into the ground, a shockwave of orange energy was fired out from his impact. The Death Knight Phantom blocked with its shield but was still sent sliding back several feet. Then cracks spread through its shield before the defensive weapon shattered. 

“You're finished!” yelled Dante as he punched the Arbiter Ring into the Arbiter Falco Axe’s port. THREE! Red energy surged up the polearms handle as Dante flew forwards. AXE STRIKE! He slammed the Arbiter Falco Axe into the Death Knight Phantom three times. With each swing, it released orange feathers that shot back inwards and slammed into the Phantom making sparks bleed off the wounds until the Death Knight Phantom went up in a giant explosion.

Dante had no time to rest as a Frost Knight Phantom burst out of the ground in an explosion of ice.

“Let’s party!” Dante switched the Arbiter Ring for the Osiris Ring and slammed it into his Driver’s left port. SET! The turned his wrist back, then forwards, making his Driver’s gate close and open. OPEN! The Osiris magic circle appeared from Dante’s Driver and moved back through him. O-S-I-R-I-S! Transforming him into the Osiris Scythe with the Falco Trickster Mantle.

The Osiris Scythe appeared, only the blade had shifted. It now looked like an orange wing with the tips of its feathers being coloured yellow. The part where the shaft met the blade had a falcon head engraved into it. 

He was now Kamen Rider Dante Osiris Style, equipped with the Falco Trickster Mantle and armed with the Osiris Falco Scythe.

The Frost Knight Phantom stabbed its blade into the ground, firing a line of ice spikes at Dante. He pressed the Osiris Ring into the Osiris Falco Scythe’s slot at the base of its handle. TWO! Blue magical energy surged up the leather of the scythe. SCYTHE STRIKE! Dante spun the Osiris Falco Scythe like a vertical propeller. It released orange feather constructs in a circle pattern. They formed into a circle shaped shield that the line of ice flash froze, but the line was stopped from reaching Dante.

Then Dante punched the Falco Trickster Ring into the right port of his Driver. ONE! The Falco Trickster Mantle transformed into the Falco Wings as Dante charged them with orange energy. FALCO TRICK! He gave them a mighty flap, firing orange feather constructs at the Phantom. They spiralled around into a tight cylinder that caused sparks to fly everywhere with each impact.

The Dante fly into the air, getting behind the Frost Knight Phantom as he pressed the Osiris Ring into the Osiris Falco Scythe’s port. THREE! He extended the Osiris Falco Scythe down and hooked it through the Frost Knight Phantom. SCYTHE STRIKE! Then Dante pulled, yanking the Osiris Falco Scythe through the Phantom. This action cut a glowing blue line through the Phantom which released several sparks through the air.

“Almost there,” muttered Dante as he punched the Osiris Ring into the Osiris Falco Scythe’s slot once more. FOUR! Blue magical energy raced up the Osiris Falco Scythe’s shaft as Dante crouched. SCYTHE STRIKE! Dante jumped into the air as he started to spin, cutting into the Frost Knight Phantom several times as he did so. Sparks exploded from its body as the polearm discharged orange feather constructs that spun around Dante, cutting further into the Frost Knight Phantom as it fell back, smoking.

“Finish time!” shouted Dante as he pressed down on the Osiris Falco Scythe’s handle. SCYTHE STRIKE! Blue magical energy raced up the Osiris Falco Scythe’s shaft and leaked out of it, forming into a blue wind construct. Dante spun around as wind kicked up around him, pulling the Phantom into the air so that he was able to slash it many, many times while spinning around, like a top, at high speed. It was only a few seconds before the Frost Knight Phantom exploded.

It was at that second that a Rage Phantom jumped out of the ground and roared at Dante as it charged at him.

Dante dodged and switched the Osiris Ring for the Rebellion Ring then he punched it into his Driver’s left slot. SET! He turned his wrist forwards. OPEN! Making the Rebellion magic circle appear from his Driver. R-E-B-E-L-L-I-O-N! It moved back through him and transformed him into the Rebellion Style.

The Rage Phantom gave a loud roar as it fired its quills at Dante. Who punched the Falco Trickster Ring into his Driver’s right slot. ONE! He spread the Falco Wings and shot into the air. FALCO TRICK! The quills shot under him as Dante flew into the air and then arched downwards. He gave the Falco Wings a giant flap that fired a gust of wind at the Rage Phantom. The wind was strong enough to fire the Phantom up into the air like a pale blue rocket.

The Rage Phantom roared as it curled into a ball and started to spin as it fired itself at Dante. 

He responded to the threat by punched the Rebellion Ring into the Rebellion Falco Blade’s slot. ONE! Red and blue magical energy cloaked the Rebellion Falco Blade as the Rage Phantom came streaking down towards Dante. REBELLION SABER STRIKE! He swung upwards, sparks flew from the Rebellion Falco Blade as the Phantom ground away at it before it was repulsed away and landed on the ground. It slid back several feet as its body started to spark.

Dante jumped into the air and pressed the Rebellion Falco Blade’s trigger. REBELLION SABER STRIKE! Red and blue magical energy surged around the sword as Dante held it over his helmet in a two handed grip and brought it down, slashing a red and blue vertical line through the Rage Phantom. It twitched as sparks bled out from the cut before the Phantom fell over and the cut released its energy in an explosion that engulfed the Rage Phantom.

Suddenly, a large force slammed into Dante from behind and sent him flying through the air. Sparks bled from the impact point as Dante pulled himself back to his boots and glared at the Tyrant Phantom that had just finished pulling itself out of the ground, having punched him while it was still only halfway out of the ground.

“Should have guessed that one of you would join the party sooner or later,” grunted Dante as he switched the Rebellion Ring for the Eryx Ring and punched it into his Driver’s left slot. SET! Dante turned his wrist forwards. OPEN! Making the Eryx magic circle appear from his Driver before it moved back through him. E-R-Y-X! Transforming him into the Eryx Style with the Falco Trickster Mantle.

He held out his gloves and the Eryx Gauntlets appeared around them. After a second they were covered in a burst of orange energy, they had an orange wing emerging from the wrists and the front of them had the head of an orange falcon engraved into it with green eyes.

He was now Kamen Rider Dante Eryx Style, equipped with the Falco Trickster Mantle and armed with the Eryx Falco Gauntlets.

The Tyrant Phantom charged at Dante as he punched the Eryx Ring into the right Eryx Falco Gauntlet’s slot. ONE! Red magic energy covered the Eryx Falco Gauntlets as Dante charged back at the Phantom. FIST STRIKE! He punched forwards with the right Eryx Falco Gauntlet, creating a shockwave as his fist met the Tyrant Phantom’s fist. The two of them unleashed a combo of punches, each of their fist’s met the others in the air. Dante was doing a little bit of damage as he alternated between punches as swing, cutting into the Phantom’s fists with the Eryx Falco Gauntlet’s wings. But considering how hard the Phantom’s fists were, it was not a lot of damage.

Suddenly, they both unleashed a final punch and the shockwave forced both combatants to stagger back several steps.

“Time for a bit more protection,” smirked Dante as he switched the Falco Trickster Ring for a black Ring with a red gem in the centre, that had a red buffalo head with yellow eyes, cut into it. This is the Buffa Royalguard Ring.

Dante punched it into his Driver’s right slot. BUFFA! He turned his wrist forwards. GO! A new magic circle appeared from Dante’s Driver. It had a red buffalo head in the centre, which was inside a red circle, within a red eight pointed star, within a red two layered circle that had yellow runic text between the two layers. R-R-R-ROYALGUARD! It moved back through Dante, removing the Falco Trickster Mantle and replacing it with a new one.

The new mantle was coloured red with golden stripes, the shoulder guard that it was attached to was a red buffalo head with golden horns, a golden ring in the nose and yellow eyes. This is the Buffa Royalguard Mantle.

The Falco Eryx Gauntlets transformed back into the Eryx Gauntlets before they shifted into a new form. Coming out of each side of was golden horn and on the front of them was a red buffalo head with a golden ring in its nose. These are the Eryx Buffa Gauntlets.

Dante pressed the Eryx Ring into the right Eryx Buffa Gauntlet’s slot. ONE! Red energy covered the Eryx Buffa Gauntlets as the horns extended. FIST STRIKE! Dante pulled his left fist back and clashed it with the Tyrant Phantom’s right fist. The shockwave that roared out from the impact forced the Phantom back as Dante used the extra power of both the Buffa Royalguard mantle and the Eryx Buffa Gauntlets to remain where he was.

“This should work out!” Dante saw the Tyrant Phantom roar in rage as it set himself on fire and charged at him. He punched the Buffa Royalguard Ring into his Driver’s right slot. ONE! Then he held the Buffa Royguard Mantle out in front of him as red light played over it. BUFFA GUARD! The Phantom smashed into the Buffa Royalguard Mantle and instead of breaking through it, the mighty Tyrant Phantom bounced off it and was sent flying backwards, smashing through the door of Dante’s shop.

Dante grabbed his coat and flipped it onto the air, sliding his arms through it as the coat transformed into his robe. “This is going to be one hell of a party!” he walked through the hole in the front of his story.

“You guys wrecked my shop!” shouted Dante. “I haven’t even thought of a name for it yet!” he complained.

The Tyrant Phantom gave a loud roar as it ran at Dante. He scoffed as he pressed the Eryx Ring into the right Eryx Buffa Gauntlet’s slot. THREE! The Eryx Buffa Gauntlet’s horns widened as Dante took up a stance. FIST STRIKE! Just before the Phantom was able to reach him, Dante performed an uppercut that sent the Tyrant Phantom stumbling backwards with sparks coming out of the point of impact.

“Now’s my chance!” Dante punched the Eryx Ring into the right Eryx Buffa Gauntlet’s slot again. FOUR! Red magical energy gathered around both of his fist as the horns glowed. FIST STRIKE! Dante jumped up into the air as the Tyrant Phantom got back up and then he punched it in the head with a downwards swing that dazed the Phantom as it stumbled backwards in pain.

Dante leapt into the air and then he punched the Eryx Ring into the right Eryx Buffa Gauntlet’s slot. FIVE! Red energy covered the right Eryx Gauntlet as Dante went shooting down. FIST STRIKE! His fist slammed into the Tyrant Phantom’s head and hammered the Phantom into the ground as if it were a giant nail. Mico explosions went off around the Phantom as it set itself on fire and ripped itself out of the ground.

Dante drew both Ebony and Ivory as he held down on both of their triggers. EBONY AND IVORY STRIKE! Red energy gathered around the two hand cannons as Dante pulled the trigger. A pair of bullets were fired, they were surrounded by a pair of red fist constructs that flew through the air and slammed into the Phantom. Sparks were ground out of the impact point as the Tyrant Phantom stumbled back while the fists continued to press into its body.

The Phantom roared as it brought both fists down, shattering the constructs and knocking the bullets away. But before it could charge at Dante, the Phantom fell to one knee, that attack had done a lot of damage.

“Let’s end this!” roared Dante as he pressed the Eryx Ring into the right Eryx Buffa Gauntlet’s slot. TWO! Red energy gathered around the left Eryx Buffa Gauntlet. FIST STRIKE! The Dante pressed the trigger inside the left Eryx Buffa Gauntlet. FIST STRIKE! Red magical energy surged around the left Eryx Buffa Gauntlet. GO! It shifted into the form of a red buffalo head. BUFFA MIX! Dante surged forwards and punched the ground. “Slam!” Out of the ground burst a six pointed barrier, out of which blasted a beam of energy in the shape of a buffalo, it slammed into the Phantom and sparks exploded from its body. Micro explosion went off from the two contact points where the buffalo’s horns slammed into the Tyrant Phantom. Mini explosion detonated around the Phantom before it exploded.

Suddenly, five swords slammed into Dante’s backplate, yet he did not feel a thing as he spun around and kicked the three Lesser Blade Phantoms back. Dante had long since gotten past the point of taking damage from such weak Phantoms.

Dante switched the Buffa Royalguard Ring for a black Ring that had a blue gem with a dolphi engraved into it. This is the Dolphi Gunslinger Ring.

Dante slammed it into his Driver’s right port. DOLPI! Then he twisted his wrist forwards. GO! The new magic circle appeared from his Driver. It was identical to the Falco and Buffa magic circles, only it was coloured blue, the script was purple and the image in the centre was of a blue dolphin. D-D-D-DOLPHI! It moved back through Dante, replacing the Buffa Royalguard Mantle with a new Mantle. This one was was blue with golden wave patterns embroidered into it. The shoulder guard which the mantle was attached to was in the shape of a blue dolphin head with golden outlines and the head had purple eyes.

Dante held out his gloves and the Osiris Scythe appeared. Only now the blade looked like a dark blue fin and the part where the handle connected to the blade was carved into the shape of a purple dolphin head.

He was now Kamen Rider Dante, Osiris Style, equipped with the Dolpi Gunslinger Mantle and armed with the Osiris Dolphi Scythe.

Dante dodged a slash from another Lesser Blade Phantom and pressed the Osiris Ring into the Osiris Dolphi Scythe’s slot. ONE! Light blue magical energy surged up the shaft of the polearm as Dante dashed forwards. SCYTHE STRIKE! He spun around several times, cutting into the Phantoms and making sparks explode from their bodies where he cut them. More sparks exploded as scythe generated several dolphin constructs that leapt out of the ground and wacked the Phantom’s with their tails.

Then Dante pressed the Osiris Ring into the Osiris Dolphi Scythe’s slot again. SIX! He spun around and then dashed forwards with the Osiris Dolphi Scythe out in front of him. SCYTHE STRIKE! A construct of a dolphin formed around the scythe as Dante cut into three more of the Lesser Blade Phantoms.

Then he pulled out Ebony and fired several shots at the Phantoms before punching the Osiris Ring into the back of it. OSIRIS! Black and light blue magical energy gathered around the barrel of the gun. EBONY STRIKE! Dante took aim and fired several shots that transformed into dolphin constructs. They slammed into the Lesser Blade Phantoms and made them all go up in explosions.

The level was taken up as Blade Phantoms burst out of the ground.

Dante switched the Osiris Ring for the Rebellion Ring and punched it into his Driver’s left port. SET! Then he turned his wrist forwards. OPEN! The Rebellion magic circle appeared from Dante’s Driver and moved back through him. R-E-B-E-L-L-I-O-N! Transforming him into the Rebellion Style equipped with the Dolphi Mantle.

The Rebellion Blade had transformed, the tip was purple, the skull had transformed into the head of a blue dolphin and the bones were now in the shape of dolphin fins. This is the Rebellion Dolphi Blade.

Dante punched the Rebellion Ring into the Rebellion Dolphi Blade’s slot. ONE! Red and blue energy hummed within the blade as Dante swung upwards, cutting a line along the ground. REBELLION SABER STRIKE! From which came a dolphin construct, it swam through the air and back flipped, whacking one of the Lesser Blade Phantoms into the air with enough force to make it explode.

Seeing another pair of Lesser Blade Phantoms rushing at him, Dante knew just what to do. He punched the Rebellion Ring into the Rebellion Dolphi Blade’s slot. TWO! The sword was covered in red and blue energy as Dante pulled it back. REBELLION SABER STRIKE! Then he spun around, slashing in a circle. From the Rebellion Dolphi Blade came a pair of dolphin constructs that slammed into the Lesser Blade Phantoms and exploded, taking the Phantoms out along with them.

Dante leapt over another pair of Lesser Blade Phantoms as they swung at him. Then he slammed the Rebellion Ring into the Rebellion Blade’s port. THREE! Dante swung his blade three times as blue magical energy surrounded it. REBELLION SABER STRIKE! With each swing he fired a dolphin fin construct that flew through the air and slammed into the Phantoms and cut through them leaving glowing blue lines in their wakes. The Phantoms sparked before they all fell over and exploded.

Suddenly, another Lesser Blade Phantom jumped out of the ground and slashed Dante across the back plate. Sparks flew from the cut, but Dante made no indication of feeling pain as he pressed the Rebellion Ring into the Rebellion Dolphi Blade’s slot. ONE! Blue magical energy flowed over the Rebellion Dolphi Blade as if it was water. REBELLION SABER STRIKE! Dante swung the sword upwards, cutting a line in the ground as he slashed upwards through the Phantom. From the line jumped a dolphin construct that hit the Lesser Blade Phantom with its tail, firing the Phantom into the air where it went up in an explosion.

Suddenly, a Valkyrie Phantom appeared in the air. “Nice try!” Dante jumped into the air and pressed the Rebellion Ring into the Rebellion Dolphi Blade’s slot. FOUR! Then blue magical surged flowed over the Rebellion Dolphi Blade as Dante slashed three times with the sword. REBELLION SABER STRIKE! Each swing released a dolphin construct that swam through the air. They smashed into the Valkyrie Phantom and exploded, destroying the Phantom in a loud explosion.

Dante landed back on the ground as he slammed the Rebellion Ring into the Rebellion Dolphi Blade’s slot. FIVE! Blue water like magical energy flowed over the sword as Dante pulled it back. REBELLION SABER STRIKE! As a Lesser Blade Phantom jumped out of the ground, Dante stabbed forwards, firing a dolphin construct that shot through the air and slammed into the Phantom, causing a large explosion that destroyed the Phantom with ease.

Then several Icarus Phantoms appeared in the air. “I hate these things!” shouted Dante as he drew Ebony and Ivory before pressing the trigger of both guns. EBONY AND IVORY STRIKE! Blue water like magical energy was pulled into the two hand cannons before Dante released the triggers. Out of the guns blasted a pair of dolphin constructs. The construct that came from Ebony was black and blue, while the one that came from Ivory was white and blue. They spiralled around each other as they shot through the air and slammed into two of the Icarus Phantoms. They exploded, sending the Phantoms crashing to the ground, then the Icarus Phantoms exploded.

Dante jumped into the air as a Valkyrie Phantom threw a bomb that smashed into the ground where he had just been standing and exploded. He holstered Ebony and pressed down on Ivory’s trigger. Blue and white energy gathered around the hand cannon’s barrel. IVORY STRIKE! Dante took aim and pulled the trigger, firing a white beam. It shot through the air and the tip of the beam transformed into a dolphin construct. Just before it hit the Phantom, it exploded into a shower of water like beams. Sparks exploded from the Icarus Phantom as it was pelted by the beams before it went up in a large explosion.

Dante noted a Shielded Icarus Phantom materializing as he switched out Ivory for Ebony and held down the hand cannon’s trigger. EBONY STRIKE! Black and blue water like energy gathered around the barrel of the hand cannon as Dante pointed it at the Phantom and let go of the trigger. Ebony fired a black beam that shifted into the head of a dolphin at the front. It slammed into the Phantom and erupted in a massive explosion after it tore through the shield. The Icarus Phantom smashed into the ground and got back up, weakly.

“I’m impressed that you’re still alive after that attack,” commented Dante as he flipped the Rebellion Dolphi Blade into a backhanded grip and pressed down on its trigger. REBELLION SABER STRIKE! Red and blue water like energy surged over the sword as Dante slashed it twice, creating two lines of red energy in a V shape that rocketed forwards. They slammed into the Icarus Phantom and trapped it. “Drive!” shouted Dante as he held the Rebellion Dolphi Blade like a baseball bat and swung it one last time, firing a line of blue energy that shifted into a dolphin construct. It slammed into the Phantom and caused the two lines to release their energy in a massive red explosion. When the smoke cleared, the Icarus Phantom was nowhere to be seen.

After that, Dante noticed three Blade Phantoms jumping out of the ground and punched the Rebellion Ring into the Rebellion Dolphi Blade’s slot. SIX! Blue water like energy washed over the sword as Dante dashed forwards. REBELLION SABER STRIKE! He stabbed forward at lightning speed, completing several thousand stabs in under five seconds. Each stab launched a dolphin construct forwards. They all slammed into the Blade Phantoms at roughly the same time, detonating three massive explosions that sent the Phantoms flying back before they all exploded.

Then Dante stabbed the Rebellion Ring into the Rebellion Dolphi Blade’s port as he ran under a Peryton Phantom. ONE! The sword was covered in blue water like energy. REBELLION SABER STRIKE! Then Dante pressed down on the Rebellion Dolphi Blade’s trigger. REBELLION SABER STRIKE! The water like energy raged as it transformed into a dolphin tail around the blade. Dante jumped into the air. “Blast off!” while slashing upwards, cutting a glowing blue line through the Phantom which sparked several times before it went up in a small explosion.

It was at that second that a Butcher Phantom sawed its way through a wall and the face in its stomach roared at Dante. Its buzzsaws glowed red as it charged towards the Kamen Rider.

“Party time!” shouted Dante as he switched the Rebellion Ring for the Arbiter Ring and punched it into his Driver’s left port. SET! Dante turned his wrist forwards. OPEN! The Arbiter magic circle appeared from his Driver and moved back through him. A-R-B-I-T-E-R! Transforming Dante into the Arbiter Style.

The Arbiter Axe appeared in a flash of red and blue light. Only the axe head was now in the shape of a blue fin and the part where the axe head connected to the blade was carved into the image of a purple dolphin head.

He was now Kamen Rider Dante Arbiter Style, equipped with the Dophi Gunslinger Mantle and armed with the Arbiter Dolphi Axe.

Dante pressed the Arbiter Ring into the Arbiter Dolphi Axe’s slot. TWO! Red energy raced up the weapon’s shaft and into the blade as Dante brought it back and slammed it into the ground. AXE STRIKE! From the impact point came a line of red energy. The second it passed under the Butcher Phantom a dolphin construct jumped out of it and slapped the Phantom in the face with its tail. Sparks came from the point of impact as the Phantom staggered back in shock at being slapped.

Then Dante punched the Arbiter Ring into the Arbiter Dolphi Axe’s slot again. ONE! He pulled the polearm weapon back and swung it down. AXE STRIKE! As it was about to hit the ground, the Arbiter Dolphi Axe fired a spinning axe head projection that flew through the air. It was surrounded by a dolphin construct that was spinning in the opposite direction. They slammed into the Butcher Phantom and ground sparks out of its body as the Phantom staggered back in pain.

Then the Butcher Phantom grabbed the attacks and crushed them between its buzzsaws before it crossed them and flung them outwards, firing five buzzsaws at Dante. Dante quickly pressed the Arbiter Ring into the Arbiter Dolphi Axe’s slot once more. THREE! Red energy raced along the polearm as Dante swung it around. AXE STRIKE! Dante slashed his weapon through thin air three times, each slash left a red tail in the air. Out of which blasted three dolphin constructs. They slammed into the buzzsaws, destroying three of them while the other two got through. Dante stumbled back as both buzzsaws slammed into his chest plate and exploded. Sparks bled from the wounds as they sealed back up.

“You’ll pay for that!” shouted Dante as he punched the Arbiter Ring into the back of the Arbiter Dolphi Axe again. FOUR! Red magical energy raced up the polearm’s shaft and charged it’s blade with energy. AXE STRIKE! Dante swung the Arbiter Dolphi Axe down again and fired a single dolphin construct. It zoomed through the air, aiming itself at the Butcher Phantom’s chest orb. Only for the Butcher Phantom to block with its buzzsaws. But the dolphin construct zoomed around and whacked the Phantom with its tail twice. Sparks flew from the impact point as the Butcher Phantom hopped back in pain.

Then Dante jumped into the air as he pressed the Arbiter Ring into the Arbiter Dolphi Axe’s slot. FIVE! Red energy gathered around the head of the Arbiter Dolphi Axe as Dante swung it down. AXE STRIKE! Firing a blast of red light, the tip of which shifted into the form of a blue dolphin head. It slammed into the Butcher Phantom, only for it to cross its buzzsaws, blocking the blast. Then the Phantom uncrossed its arms and the attack was dispelled in a flash of light.

“WHAT?!” shouted Dante as the Butcher Phantom fired its buzzsaws up at him, drawing sparks off his chest plate and sending him crashing back down to the ground and in a smoking heap of pain.

Dante flipped back to his boots and slammed the Arbiter Ring into the Arbiter Dolphi Axe’s slot. SIX! Dante spun the polearm around a few times and then slammed it into the ground. AXE STRIKE! From the impact point roared a wave of red water like energy that had a blue dolphin construct surfing on it. The wave roared forwards and slammed into the Butcher Phantom, engulfing it.

When the wave cleared, the Butcher Phantom was revealed to be sparking from its injures. 

Then Dante’s visors went wide as energy started to build up within the Phantom. “Oh no!” then an explosion of red energy burst out of the Butcher Phantom, forcing him to stumble back. When the wave cleared, the Butcher Phantom was in its Phantom trigger form.

“Oh no, you don’t you bastard!” shouted Dante as he switched the Arbiter Ring for the Trigger Ring in its Devil Mode. He punched the Ring into his Driver’s left slot. TRIGGER! Then he turned his wrist forwards. DEVIL GO! The trigger magic circle appeared from Dante’s Driver and moved back through him. DE-DE-DE-DEVIL! Transforming him into his Devil Trigger Style.

The Rebellion Magnum in its Arbiter Mode appeared in his right glove as Dante punched the Trigger Ring into the back of it. ONE! DEVIL! Dante pulled the trigger and fired off three blasts of red energy. MAGNUM STRIKE! They slammed into the Butcher Phantom and exploded. The Butcher Phantom was sent flying backwards as sparks exploded from the impact point while mini explosions went off around its body.

Dante quickly punched the Trigger Ring into the back of the Rebellion Magnum for a second time. THREE! DEVIL! Dante pointed the gun down and fired a blast of energy into the ground that blasted along in a line. MAGNUM STRIKE! It stopped under the Butcher Phantom and then burst upwards sending the Phantom shooting into the air before it came back down in a painful crash.

Dante pulled out the cylinder at the bottom of the Rebellion Magnum, turned it and then slammed it back into the handle, transforming the Rebellion Mangum into its Eryx Mode. After which Dante slammed the Trigger Ring into the back of it. THREE! DEVIL! The Butcher Phantom got back up as Dante fired a beam of red energy that arched into the air and hit the Phantom in the chin. MAGNUM STRIKE! The Butcher Phantom was sent flying into the air by the fist to it’s chin.

“Time to end this!” commented Dante as he punched the Trigger Ring into the back of the Rebellion Magnum again. TWO! DEVIL! He took aim as he pulled the Rebellion Mangum’s trigger. MAGNUM STRIKE! Three bursts of red energy shot out of the gun and slammed into the Phantom’s gut orb, sending it flying with a loud cracking sound.

Dante punched the Rebellion Ring into his Driver’s left slot. GO! DEVIL! Red energy covered his right boot as Dante dashed forward, closing the distance in less than two seconds. KICK STRIKE! Then Dante kicked the Phantom three times. Each kick let loose a burst of energy and sparks exploded from the points of impact as the Butcher Phantom fell over and was consumed by a large explosion.

Suddenly, Dante was sent flying through a building and into another street. He grunted as he got back up with sparks coming from his side where he had been hit. Dante looked up as he heard the sound of boots on the road.

What he saw made his visors go wide in shock. He could only utter one word in shock: “Sunset?”


Several Minutes Earlier


Sunset groaned as she came too. She had a massive headache and felt like she had been struck over the head with a metal bat, repeatedly.

“Are you ok, Sir?” asked a voice from above her.

“I’m fine, Gilda,” Sunset trailed off when she realised that it was not Gilda that had spoken, but a new girl.

She was tall with tanned skin, green eyes, freckles and blond hair that was pulled into a tight ponytail. She wore the standard Gem Maiden Uniform: A dark blue seamless jumpsuit with attached gloves and combat boots. Orange gem armour covered her chest, shoulder’s, forearm arms, gloves, boots, shins and the outside of her uppers legs as well as the outside of her upper arms.

Sunset slowly blinked as her mind rebooted and process the fact that there was a Gem Maiden in front of her and she, Sunset, was not dead or in a conversion chamber. 

Sunset could think of only two reasons that made sense.

One: She was dead.

Two: It had happened again.

Sunset could still feel her heartbeat, so option one was incorrect.

Her eyes went flat.

She looked at Gilda, Lightning Dust, Lyra and Bon Bon. All of whom were managing to look sheepish at mindless at the same time.

Then Sunset looked around and her fury continued to mount with each second as she saw that there were five other Gem Maidens in the area, not including the one that had spoken to her.

The first was much shorter, she had fair skin, magenta eyes and rainbow coloured hair that was pulled up into a tight ponytail. She wore the Gem Maiden Uniform with her Gem Armour being red. It covered her shoulders, the back of her gloves, the top of her boots and the front of her shins. Coming from her back was a pair of wings that the suit covered, they had red gem armour around the joints and bones.

The second Gem Maiden was a bit taller, she had purple eyes and dark blue hair with a purple and hot pink highlight going through the left side of it. Like the other two Gem Maidens, her hair was tied up in a tight ponytail. Her armour was dark blue and covered her shoulders, the area between her shoulders and neck, her boots, upper legs, upper arms, forearms as well as her gloves. Finally, the Gem Armour formed into a chest plate, knee guards and elbow guards as well as a backplate. Coming from her forehead was a magenta horn construct that hovered just in front of it.

The third Gem Maiden had already been described as she had been the one to wake Sunset up.

The fourth Gem Maiden had white skin and blue eyes along with purple hair that was pulled up into a tight ponytail. Her Gem Maiden Uniform had white Gem Armour. It covered her shoulders, elbows, knees and the front of her shins. She had a white horn construct floating in front of her forehead, until the second Gem Maiden’s horn, which was in the shape of a spiral, hers was in the shape of a diamond.

The fifth Gem Maiden had green eyes and pin hair that was pulled up into a tight ponytail. Her Gem Maiden Uniform had yellow Gem Armour. The armour covered her hips, forearms and shoulders. Coming out of her back was a pair of wings that were covered by the Gem Maiden Uniform and had yellow Gem Armour outlining them.

The sixth and final Gem Maiden had blue eyes and pink hair that was pulled into a tight ponytail. She wore the normal Gem Maiden Uniform. But the pink Gem Armour only covered her gloves and the top of her boots.

After Sunset had taken all of this in, she turned to Gilda. “Let me guess,” she began as the blond-haired Gem Maiden helped her to her feet. She pointed at Pyrrha. “You were wrong and that second Imprisoner Phantom was really these six Gem Maidens.”

“Yes, Master,” replied Gilda.

“They were close enough in their pre-Gem Maiden days that when they began Gem Maidens they gained the ability to combine,” continued Sunset.

“Yes, Master,” replied Lightning Dust.

“They were likely sent to kill you four had as you had been cut off from the hive mind,” Ruby guessed.

“That is the most probable reason why they were sent Mistress,” reasoned Lyra.

“And finally, for some infernal reason, rather than return to their home world, free, but without their powers. They decided that it was more preferable to become Kamen Riders and bond themselves to myself as servants?!” demanded Sunset.

“Yes, Mistress,” droned Bon Bon.

Sunset held her Driver on Ring over her belt buckle. DRIVER ON! A magic circle appeared as the belt buckle transformed into her Wizard Driver. PLEASE! Then she pressed down on the Wizard Driver’s left Shift Lever, turning the Hand Author to the left. MAGICAL TOUCH HENSHIN! She scanned her left hand over her Driver’s Hand Author. ACTIVE PLEASE! “At least that works now,” muttered Sunset in relief as she held her left arm to the side. LET’S GO! The Active magic circle appeared and moved through Sunset, transforming her into her true form; Kamen Rider Symbol.

She added the Ice and the Defend Ring to her right glove before hitting the right Shift Lever. MAGIC TOUCHIE HENSHIN! Then she held them in front of her Driver’s Hand Author. ICE DEFEND PLEASE! Symbol thrust her right glove out to the side as the two magic circles appeared and moved through her.

“Here we go!” she hit the right Shift Lever twice. MAGIC TOUCHIE GO! Then the Kamen Rider held her right glove in front of her Wizard Driver’s Hand Author. DEFEND MAGIC PLEASE! She slammed the Ice Shield into the ground and a dome of ice appeared around her.

Symbol’s body flashed as she transformed back into her human form; Sunset Shimmer. 

Then she freaked out.

She pulled at her hair, stamped on the ground, kicked the sphere and yelled out loud.

While the Gem Maidens were unable to hear a single word, they were fairly sure that they lip read several swear words.

Once Sunset had tied herself out and vent her anger she dropped the dome. “Alright, so, who are you six?” she asked.

“We are your Gem Maiden servants,” replied the rainbow haired Gem Maiden.

“No, I meant your names,” clarified Sunset.

The pink haired and blue eyed Gem Maiden opened her mouth.

Sunset cut her off. “I don’t mean your Gem Maiden names. I mean the names you have before you were transformed into Gem Maidens.”

“Sir, they are not relevant,” blinked the purple haired Gem Maiden.

“Why not?!” demanded Sunset in anger.

“We are no longer those people,” replied the pale pink haired Gem Maiden.

“Well, I am not going to call you all by some incredibly long, hard to remember and confusing serial number,” growled out Sunset.

“So you wish to know our original names for the sake of convenience?” asked the blue haired Gem Maiden.

“Yes!” shouted Sunset. “Finally! One of you gets it!”

“My name was Twilight Sparkle,” replied the blue haired Gem Maiden.

“I was once known as Rarity,” added the purple haired Gem Maiden.

“My name was Rainbow Dash!” cheered the rainbow haired Gem Maiden.

“I was called Fluttershy,” stated the pale pink haired Gem Maiden.

“I once went by Applejack,” muttered the blond haired Gem Maiden.

“My designantion was Pinkie Pie,” droned the dark pink haired Gem Maiden.

For some reason, Sunset felt a surge of anger shot through her veins when she heard those names. She quickly shook her head. “Where did that come from,” not even Wiseman had caused her to feel that pissed off.

“Are you ok, Sir?” asked Twilight Sparkle.

“I’m fine,” replied Sunset as Twilight’s question snapped her back to reality. For some reason, having people as her slaves really made her feel uncomfortable.

“You looked a bit unwell,” stated Rarity.

“I said I’m fine!” snapped out Sunset. Then she realised something. “Also, if you have to call me something like that, then call me Mistress!” 

“Yes, Sir,” replied the six new Gem Maidens.

Sunset grumbled several swear words under her breath. “Anyway, we should find out where we are,” she ordered.

At that moment, several Pride Phantoms raced around the corner.

“On second thoughts, let’s fight them first!” Sunset hit her Wizard Driver’s left Shift Lever. MAGICAL TOUCH HENSHIN! Then she scanned her left hand and the Active Ring over her Driver’s Hand Author. ACTIVE PLEASE! “Henshin!” shouted Sunset as she held her left hand out to the side. LET’S GO! The Active magic circle appeared to her left and moved through her. Transforming her into Kamen Rider Symbol.

Symbol turned to the Servants that had been forced on her. “I suggest that you four,” she pointed at Lightning Dust, Gilda, Bon Bon and Lyra. “Henshin. While you six,” she pointed to Twilight, Rarity, Rainbow Dash, Fluttershy, Applejack and Pinkie Pie. “Get whatever weapons you have ready,” suddenly, Symbol turned to the Gem Maidens. “Oh and say “Henshin” when you transform, it sounds cooler,” she justified herself.

The Dust Knuckle appeared in Lightning Dust’s hand as she slid the Fire Dust Whistle into its slot. F-I-R-E D-U-S-T! Then Lightning Dust pressed the right side of the Dust Knuckle into her left palm. R-E-A-D-Y!

Gilda stepped up alongside Lightning Dust as the Weapon Driver appeared around her waist as she slotted the Crocea Mors Whistle into its slot. C-R-O-C-E-A M-O-R-S! 

Then Lightning pressed the right side of the Dust Knuckle to the left side of the Weapon Driver. F-I-S-T O-N! A hologram of a white kite shield and a golden broadsword appeared in front of the Weapon Driver and a hologram of a red flame appeared in front of the Dust Knuckle. The two images moved in front of each other and started spinning. “Henshin,” spoke both Lightning Dust and Gilda as the holograms transformed into a holographic suit of armour. It moved back and combined the two Gem Maidens into a single Kamen Rider.

In a flash of light Kamen Rider Grimm was revealed in her Fire Knight Tune. 

The Aura Knuckle materialized in Bon Bon’s hand as she inserted the Copycat Whistle into its slot. C-O-P-Y-C-A-T! Then she slammed the left side of the Aura Knuckle into her right fist. R-E-A-D-Y!

Lyra stepped up next to Nora as the Grimm Driver appeared on her waist and she loaded the Nevermore Whistle into its slot. N-E-V-E-R-M-O-R-E!

Bon Bon slammed the left side of the Aura Knuckle into the right side of the Grimm Driver. F-I-S-T O-N! A black hologram of a wolf appeared in front of the Grimm Driver while a hologram of a black cat appeared in front of the Aura Knuckle. They both moved over each other and spun into a holographic suit of armour. “Henshin,” droned Bon Bon and Lyra as the hologram slammed into them and fused the two Gem Maidens into a single Kamen Rider.

In a flash of light Kamen Rider Grimm was revealed in her Copy More Tune.

“You two!” Kamen Rider Symbol pointed to Kamen Rider’s Grimm and Weapon. “Go to full power!”

“Yes, Mistress,” proclaimed both of the Kamen Riders as they removed the Knuckles from their Driver and pressed down on them. R-E-A-D-Y! Then Grimm slammed the left side of the Aura Knuckle into the right side of the Dust Knuckle. D-O-U-B-L-E F-I-S-T O-N! The Beowulf, Copycat, Fire Dust and Crocea Mors holograms appeared in front of the Knuckles and spun out into a holographic suit of armour that moved back, slamming into the two Kamen Riders and combining them into Kamen Rider Remnant. Knight More Copy Fire Tune.

Silver chains appeared around Pinkie Pie’s waist, they merged into a blue belt that had a blue bat as a buckle. The bat had red eyes and hung upside down on a blue bar that was on the front of the Driver. Pinkie Pie pulled out a black Whistle, the head of which was shaped like a red cylinder. She slotted it into the Mega Driver’s mouth causing it to blow the Whistle. FIRE TUNE! A silver chain shot out of each of the bat’s eyes and stabbed into Fluttershy’s and Rarity’s chests. 

The three girls said only one word: “Henshen.”

Fluttershy and Rarity transformed into quicksilver that was pulled down the chains and covered Pinkie’s body. After a second the quicksilver shifted and transformed before shattering off, revealing their new form.

She wore a bodysuit, the main section of which was white, as was the forearms, while the rest was coloured black. The bodysuit had attached white gloves and two red rings just below the elbows. Her boots were coloured black, while the bottom of them was coloured red and they had a slight heel coming from the bottom of them. Her helmet was white with a red faceplate and a pair of blue circle shaped visors. In the centre of the helmet’s forehead was a golden V shaped tiara with a red circle shaped gem in the centre of it. Coming from the back of the helmet was a long ponytail of black hair. A red chestplate covered her chest, it had a red gem in the centre with white outlines. Her shoulder armour was coloured red and she wore red armour on the back of her gloves. Red shin armour covered her shins and white knee guards covered her knees. Red armour covered her forearms and a red skirt went about halfway down her upper legs. There was a red choker around her neck and a should red cape came off her shoulders.

She is Kamen Rider Mega, Fire Tune.

“Your a Kamen Rider as well?!” shouted Symbol in shock.

“Yes, Sir,” replied the Kamen Rider, her voice sounded like Pinkie Pie, Fluttershy and Rarity all speaking together.

Symbol paused. “That was weird,” she shuddered at the voice.

Then something made Symbol pause. She turned to Applejack, Rainbow Dash and Twilight Sparkle. “Let me guess, you three can combine into a single Kamen Rider as well,” she asked in a flat tone of voice.

“Yes, Sir,” replied Rainbow in an emotionless montone.

Chains appeared around Applejack’s waist and formed into a Driver that was identical to the Mega Driver, only it was coloured white and the bat had a white X shaped scar on its face. Applejack pulled out a white Whistle, the head of which looked like a dark blue cylinder. She slotted it into the X Driver’s mouth, making it blow the Water Whistle. WATER TUNE!

A chain came out of each of the X Driver’s eyes, they stabbed into Rainbow and Twilight’s chests. “Henshin,” droned the three girls as two of them were transformed into quicksilver and pulled down the chains.

The quicksilver washed over Applejack and transformed before shattering off, revealing her new form.

She wore a white bodysuit with black upper arms and black legs. The bodysuit had attached white gloves and three dark blue rings wrapped around the arms were black met white. The boots were black with the bottom of them being dark blue with a slight heel coming from the bottom of them. A pair of dark blue lines crossed over the top of her boots and a black circle surrounded her ankles. She wore a dark blue skirt and a sea green chest plate. Dark blue armour covered her shoulders and extended halfway down her upper arms. Sea green armour wrapped around her forearms and extended over the back of her gloves. Around her neck was a sea green choker with a dark blue ribbon around the back of it. She wore a white helmet with a dark blue faceplate that had a pair of green circle shaped visors. Coming from the back of her helmet was a sea green ponytail and on her helmet’s forehead was a golden V shaped tiara with a sea green gem in the centre of it. 

She is Kamen Rider X Water Tune.

“Alright team, it’s showtime!” shouted Symbol as she hit her Wizard Driver’s left Shift Lever once. MAGICAL TOUCH GO! Then she scanned her left glove as a Pride Phantom leapt at her. ACTIVE! C RANK SPELL! Red lightning crackled around her right fist as she pulled it back and punched the Phantom, sending it flying backwards with sparks exploding from its body before it exploded while still in the air.

Then Remnant pressed down on the Nevermore Whistle and slammed the bottom of the Ozma Knuckle into the top of the Salem Driver. N-E-V-E-R-M-O-R-E![/b] B-I-T-I-N-G! The Nevermore Bow Sword appeared in a flash of black mist. Remnant grabbed it and fired several black bolts from it that made sparks explode from five more Pride Phantoms.

Symbol switched the Active Ring for the Burst Ring and pressed her Driver’s left Shift Lever. MAGICAL TOUCH HENSHIN! Then she swiped her left glove over her Driver’s Hand Author. BURST PLEASE! Symbol held her left glove out to the side and the Burst magic circle appeared. CAST THE SPELL! It moved through her and transformed Symbol into the Burst Style.

A Lust Phantom appeared from the ground and leapt at Kamen Rider Mega. She pulled out a white Whistle with a red circle on top of it. She slotted it into the Mega Driver and caused it to blow the Whistle. PROTO SHIELD! In a flash of red data a circle shaped shield appeared on her right forearm. She blocked the Lust Phantom’s scythe and then turned around and it blurred away. The Phantom slashed her several times before Mega learned its fighting style and blocked the next several slashes.

Symbol added the Dust and Mirror Rings to her right glove before pressing her Driver’s right lever. MAGIC TOUCHIE HENSHIN! Then she scanned her right glove across her Driver. DUST MIRROR PLEASE! She held her right glove out to the side as the two magic circles appeared and moved through her. Transforming Kamen Rider Symbol into the Burst Dust Mirror Style.

X pulled out another white Whistle that had a shotgun at the top of it. She slotted it into the Driver and pressed down on it, making the X Driver blow it. SHOTGUN ICE! She curled her right glove into a fist as a cold aura gathered around it. Then, as the Luat Phantom moved in to attack Kamen Rider Mega again, X pulled back her fist and punched the Phantom, causing it to flash freeze in less than a second.

A Lust Phantom dashed towards Symbol as she pressed her Wizard Driver’s right Shift Lever once. MAGIC TOUCHIE GO! She scanned her right glove over her Wizard Driver’s Hand Author as the dust magic circle appeared on the ground in front of the Lust Phantom. DUST MAGIC PLEASE! Symbol threw her right glove into the air as a wall of dust burst from the ground. The Phantom smashed into the wall and the dust wrapped around it, stopping the Lust Phantom from moving.

Remnant pressed down on the Crocea Mors Whistle before slamming into the bottom of the Ozma Knuckle into the top of the Salem Driver. K-N-I-G-H-T S-W-O-R-D! Remnant placed the Nevermore Bow Sword on her backplate as Knight Sword appeared in her right glove. She dashed forward and slashed the fist Pride Phantom, then she spun, cutting the second Pride Phantom. Remnant held the Knight Sword in both gloves as she slashed down, cutting through the final Pride Phantom, all three of them erupted in sparks and fell over before exploding.

Symbol pressed her Driver’s left leaver four times, making the Hand Author turn to the left. MAGICAL TOUCH GO! VERY NICE! Then she scanned her left glove over the front of her Driver. BURST! S RANK SPELL! THE BEST! Purple magical energy surrounded Symbol as she raised up both of her gloves. Dust started to trickle into the air, off the ground, it sped up until the dust turned into five streams that gathered into an orb in front of Symbol. “Dust Spear!” shouted Symbol as she fired the orb forwards, it transformed into a spear than then split into five. The Lust Phantom was still immobilized by the last attack and could do nothing as all five spears tore through it, creating five holds that bled sparks before the Phantom fell forward and went up in a massive explosion.

Another Lust Phantom burst from a rip in the air and lunged towards Mega. She held the Proto Shield in front of the Mega Driver, causing it to bite the edge of the Proto Shield, infusing it with red energy. PROTO SHIELD BITE! Mega slammed the tip of the Proto Shield into the ground and a shield of roaring red energy surrounded her. The Lust Phantom dashed forwards and slammed into the shield, cracking it badly. 

Symbol switched the Mirror Ring for the Radiation Ring, before pressing her Driver’s right Lever once. MAGIC TOUCHIE HENSHIN! Then she held her right glove in front of her Driver as another three Pride Phantom jumped out of the ground. DUST RADIATION PLEASE! Symbol held her right glove out to the side as the Radiation magic circle appeared behind her and moved through her.

X saw her sister Kamen Rider being attacked and held her left glove in front of the X Driver. SHOTGUN ICE BITE! Blue energy was infused into her right glove as She punched the ground. A wave of ice shot out of the impact point and transformed into a penguin that raced along the ground on its belly. It slammed into the distracted Lust Phantom and forced the Phantom back, making it slammed into a wall. “Target erased,” spoke Kamen Rider X as the Phantom exploded.

Then Symbol switched the Dust and Radiation Ring for the Sand and Glass Rings before hitting her Wizard Driver’s right Shift Lever. MAGIC TOUCHIE HENSHIN! Then she scanned her right glove over her Wizard Driver’s Hand Author. SAND GLASS PLEASE! Symbol held her right glove out to the side as the Pride Phantoms charged at her. “Let’s switch it up!” the two magic circles appeared and moved through her, knocking the Phantoms back.

Kamen Rider Remnant jumped into the air as the Knight Sword and the Nevermore Bow Sword combined into the Black Knight Sword. She pressed the Copycat Whistle and then slammed the bottom of the Osma Knuckle into the top of the Salem Driver. C-O-P-Y! Red flames covered the Black Knight Sword as she swung it around in a crescent, cutting through three Pride Phantom’s scythe and making the Phantoms jump back from the blazing hot flames.

Symbol pressed her Driver’s right Lever twice. MAGIC TOUCHIE GO! She blocked a slash from another Pride Phantom with the Burst Staff as she scanned her right glove. GLASS MAGIC PLEASE! A ring of sand exploded out of her body, cutting the Pride Phantom in half and causing it to go up in flames.

Meanwhile, Mega switched the Proto Shield Whistle for a white Whistle with a brown hand in front of it. She placed the new Whistle in the Mega Driver and pressed down on it, causing the Mega Driver to blow the Whistle. SUPER ARM! Her left fist was covered in red data as the Proto Shield vanished. When the data was cleared, the left arm had grown in size. She punched it into the ground and pulled out a large cube. With a grunt she hurled it at another Lust Phantom that had just appeared from a rip in the air. The Phantom dodge to the side, but this left it open to X. “Unit X! Tactic Arm Shield!” ordered Kamen Rider Mega as she threw another rock.

“Here we go!” Symbol jumped back as the three Pride Phantoms she had just disarmed, regenerated their scythe. She pressed her Driver’s right Shift Lever once. MAGIC TOUCHIE GO! Then she held her right glove in front of her Driver. SAND MAGIC PLEASE! The Burst magic circle appeared on the ground as Symbol raised both gloves into the air. Sand gathered from the magic circle and formed into a tornado. Symbol thrust both of her gloves forwards as the tornado roared and slammed into the Phantom’s. They were carried into the air with sparks exploding off their bodies before both of them exploded. “Good riddance,” muttered Symbol.

X removed the Shotgun Ice from the X Driver and switched it with a white Whistle that had a blue ball in the centre of it. She slotted it into the X Driver and then pressed down on it, causing the Driver to blow the Whistle. ROLLING SHIELD! Kamen Rider X curled into a ball and rolled along the ground. The Lust Phantom turned around, dust in time to see stars as X sent it flying through the air after smashing into it. “Tactic complete,” reported Kamen Rider X as she got back up.

“Good, now finish it!” roared Symbol as she hit her Driver’s left Shift Lever four times. MAGICAL TOUCH GO! VERY NICE! Purple magical energy built up around her as she scanned her left glove over her Driver. BURST! S RANK SPELL! THE BEST! The Burst magic circle appeared on the ground and out of it came a tidal wave of sand that started spinning. Shards of glass appeared in the sand tornado as it raced towards the Phantom at high speed. “Sand Storm!” shouted Symbol as the Lust Phantom was pulled into the attack, sparks exploded from its body before the Phantom went up in a giant explosion from all of the damage.

Remnant pressed down on the Copycat Whistle twice before slamming the Ozma Knuckle into the Salem Driver. C-A-T! A Lust Phantom took a high speed swing at her, only for Remnant to backflip out of the way. In her place she left a fire clone that exploded when the Lust Phantom it hit, sending the Phantom flying backwards.

Symbol switched the Glass Ring for the Mirror Ring and hit her Wizard Driver’s right Shift Lever once. MAGIC TOUCHIE HENSHIN! Symbol scanned her right glove across her Wizard Driver’s Hand Author. SAND MIRROR PLEASE! Then she held her right glove out to the side as the Mirror magic circle appeared behind her before moving through her. It knocked the Lust Phantom that had just lunged at her back.

Kamen Rider Mega held the Super Arm in front of the Mega Driver, making it bite down on the Mega Arm Whistle. SUPER ARM BITE! The Super Arm was infused with red energy as she pulled it back and punched the, still stunned Lust Phantom. The Phantom was sent flying backwards with red cracks spreading through it before the Phantom exploded while still flying through the air. “Enemy deleted,” spoke up Mega.

A Lust Phantom streaked towards Symbol at high speed. It blurry around and struck her about twice in the next second as Symbol pressed her Wizard Driver’s right Shift Lever twice. MAGIC TOUCHIE GO! More sparks exploded off her body as she stumbled back, scanning her right glove over her Wizard Driver’s Hand Author as she did so. MIRROR MAGIC PLEASE! A circle of small mirrors appeared around her, the Lust Phantom slammed into the mirrors and it was sent flying back as the mirrors repelled all of the kinetic force back at it.

X saw the Lust Phantom charging at her and pressed her right glove into the X Driver’s mouth. ROLLING SHIELD BITE! The X Driver infused blue energy into X’s glove. The energy raced through her body as she crossed her arms and a blue shield appeared around her. The Lust Phantom smashed into the shield and growled. Its armed were covered in grey energy as it swung over and over, cracks spread through the shield before it shattered! With a loud boom, the fragments exploded. The Phantom was sent flying backwards with sparks exploding from its body.

“How many of these things are there?!” demanded Symbol as another Pride Phantom burst from the ground. With a growl she switched the Burst Ring for the Active Ring and then slammed her glove down on her Wizard Driver’s left Shift Lever. MAGICAL TOUCH HENSHIN! Symbol scanned her left glove over her Wizard Driver’s Hand Author. ACTIVE PLEASE! She held her left glove out to the side as the Active Magic circle appeared and moved through her. LET’S GO! Transforming her into the Active Style.

“It is unknown Mistress,” replied Kamen Rider Remnant as she pressed down on the Fire Dust Whistle before slamming the bottom of the Osma Knuckle into the top of the Salem Driver. F-I-R-E D-U-S-T! C-H-A-R-G-E! The Black Knight Sword lit on fire as Remnant slashed upwards, cutting through a Death Knight Phantom as it jumped out of the ground and charged at her.

“That was rhetorical!” shouted Symbol at her Kamen Rider Servant. She jumped over a slash and pressed her Wizard Driver’s left Shift Lever twice. MAGICAL TOUCH GO! Then the main Kamen Rider swiped her left glove across her Wizard Driver’s Hand Author as she ducked under a Pride Phantom’s swing. ACTIVE! B RANK SPELL! Red lightning covered her forearm guards as she blocked the Pride Phantom’s downwards swing and punched it in the face. Sparks exploded from the impact as red lightning crackled over its body and the Phantom was sent flying through the air. Then it followed the example of every other Phantom that Symbol had fought so far and exploded.

Mega switched the Super Arm Whistle for a red Whistle that had a fireball on the top of it. She slotted it into the Mega Driver and then pressed down on the Whistle making the Meg Driver blow the Whistle. FIRESTORM! The Super Arm vanished and three balls of fire appeared around Mega, orbiting her.

Symbol added the Boost and Aqua Rings to her right glove before pressing down on her Wizard Driver’s right Shift Lever. MAGIC TOUCHIE HENSHIN! Then she scanned her right glove over her Wizard Driver’s Hand Author. BOOST AQUA PLEASE! Symbol held her right glove out to the side as the two magic circles appeared and moved through her, transforming her into the Active Boost Aqua Style.

Then she pressed down on her Wizard Driver’s right Shift Lever once. MAGIC TOUCHIE GO! She scanned her right glove in front of her Wizard Driver’s Hand Author as she took up a running stance. BOOST MAGIC PLEASE! Symbol bolted forwards as the Aqua Jets each fired a blast of water that propelled her forward, she rammed her knee into a Pride Phantom, sending it flying into two other like a pair of bowling pins.

Symbol jumped into the air as she drew the Active Blade and pulled on its thumb, opening its Hand Author. COME ON A SLASH SHAKE HANDS! Then she scanned her left glove over it as red energy built up around the tip of the blade. ACTIVE! SLASH STRIKE! Symbol fell through the air and stabbed all three of the Phantom’s with the blade, making all three of them explode.

Suddenly, Symbol landed back on the ground and was forced to drop onto her backplate as another Lust Phantom swung at her. She quickly hit her Wizard Driver’s right Shift Lever twice. MAGIC TOUCHIE GO! Then she scanned her right glove in front of her Wizard Driver’s Hand Author. AQUA MAGIC PLEASE! Symbol spun on her backplate as she unleashed jets of water from the Aqua Jets that slammed into the Lust Phantom from the side and sent it flying away.

Symbol switched the Boost Ring for the Slasher Ring and hit her Wizard Driver’s right Shift Lever. MAGIC TOUCHIE HENSHIN! Then she scanned her right glove across her Wizard Driver’s Hand Author. SLASHER AQUA PLEASE! Symbol held her right glove out to the side as the Slasher magic circle unfolded and passed through her.

The next Lust Phantom lunged at her as she hit her Wizard Driver’s right Shift Lever once. MAGIC TOUCHIE GO! After Which she scanned her right glove over her Wizard Driver’s Hand Author. SLASHER MAGIC PLEASE! Red lightning crackled over the Slasher Tidal Claws as Symbol drove them through the Phantom’s gut. Sparks exploded from the impact point as the Phantom staggered backwards in agony.

Symbol slammed her glove down on her Wizard Driver’s right Shift Lever twice. MAGIC TOUCHIE GO! Then she scanned her right glove in front of her Wizard Driver’s Hand Author as she pulled back the Slasher Tidal Claws. AQUA MAGIC PLEASE! Water gathered around them as she slashed upwards, firing six crescents that shot forwards and slammed into the Phantom. Coming with the damage it had taken from being impaled, it was no wonder the Phantom exploded.

“I’ve had enough of this!” shouted Symbol in anger as another Lust Phantom burst from a rip in the air. She pressed her Wizard Driver’s left Shift Lever four times. MAGICAL TOUCH GO! VERY NICE! Then she scanned her left glove over her Wizard Driver’s Hand Author. ACTIVE! S RANK SPELL! THE BEST! Red lightning ripped around the Slasher Tidal Claws as Symbol darted forwards and slashed the Lust Phantom in half, causing it to explode into ash.

At that moment Symbol was hit in the side by something and sent shooting through the air. She smashed through a pair of buildings and crashed into the street behind them.

Remnant, Mega and X landed a few feet away about five seconds later.

‘Whatever hit us was hard and fast! We didn’t even have time to protect ourselves!’ out loud she shouted. “ALRIGHT! THAT IS IT!” she switched the Active Ring for the Advance Ring, then pressed her Wizard Driver’s left Shift Lever. TOUCH TO ADVANCE YOUR CLASS! Then, with a loud roar, she held her left glove and the Advance Ring in front of her Wizard Driver’s Hand Author. ADVANCE PLEASE! Symbol thrust her left glove out in front of her as the Advance magic circle warped in and moved back through her, transforming the Kamen Rider into her Advance Style.

Symbol thrust her right glove into the air. “Come! Advance Timer!” she ordered.

[YES! MY MISTRESS!] The Crow Bit Phantom came racing out of the air and slammed into Symbol’s right glove, transforming it into the Advance Timer.

ADVANCE TIME! “Here we go!” Symbol turned the Advance Timer’s dial. SET UP! Then she pressed down on the Advance Timer’s Hand Author’s thumb. START! The Advance Timer’s first clock hand started ticking.

At that moment, Symbol heard a voice that she had not heard in a while. “Sunset?” Symbol’s helmet whipped around. “Dante?” she asked in disbelief and then joy.

Before the emotional reunion could take place, a Phantom teleported it. It looked like a Pride Phantom only its cloak was perfect, having no rips in it and its scythe was pure silver with no chips.

This is the Vanguard Phantom.

The two Kamen Riders looked at each other and nodded.

Symbol turned to Remnant, Mega and X. “Keep the rest of the Phantom’s off us! Dante and I will take care of the Vanguard Phantom,” she ordered.

Symbol did not see that way that Dante’s visors narrowed at her ordering another pair of Kamen Rider’s around.

They both ran towards the Vanguard Phantom as it teleported to the side.

Dante punched the Trigger Ring into the back of the Rebellion Magnum. ONE! DEVIL! The holographic one appeared next to the Rebellion Magnum’s skull as red energy gathered in front of the barrel. MAGNUM STRIKE! Dante took aim and fired three blasts of red energy that tore through the air and slammed into the Vanguard Phantom. “Take that!” shouted Dante.

Or at least the blasts would have slammed into the Phantom if it had no teleported away at the last second.

“What?!” shouted Dante as the Vanguard Phantom appeared behind him and slashed him across the black plate. Sparks bled from the cut as Dante crashed into the ground.

“DANTE!” shouted Symbol as she hit her Wizard Driver’s left Shift Lever twice. TOUCH TO CAST THE NEXT LEVEL! Then she scanned her left glove and the Advance Ring. ADVANCE B TIER SPELL! The emitters on her shoulder pauldrons lit up as she dashed forwards and slammed her left elbow into the Vanguard Phantom’s face, only for the Phantom to teleport out of the way. “Not again!” shouted Symbol as she was slashed by the Vanguard Phantom several times as it appeared once more.

Dante quickly got back up, the high armour of the Devil Trigger Style had cancelled out a lot of the damage and punched the Trigger Ring into the back of the Rebellion Magnum once more. THREE! DEVIL! Red energy built up in the barrel as Dante fired a blast into the ground. MAGNUM STRIKE! The earth under the Phantom’s feet glowed as it suddenly burst into a pillar of flame, making the Phantom roar in pain as it was attacked by blazing heat and was forced to teleport away.

“Hey!” shouted Symbol. “Watch it Dante! You nearly hit me!” she shouted at her brother in anger.

Dante just scoffed under his breath as he dodged a slash from the Vanguard Phantom when it appeared again.

Symbol would have frowned as she pressed her Wizard Driver’s left Shift Lever three times. TOUCH TO CAST THE NEXT LEVEL! Then she scanned her left glove and the Advance Ring over her Wizard Driver’s Hand Author as the emitters on her shin armour lit up. ADVANCE A TIER SPELL! Yellow magical energy gathered around her gloves as she curled them into fists and ran at the Phantom. Only for it to teleport out of the way, reappear where it had just teleported from and slash her across the chest plate.

“This isn’t fair!” grunted Dante. “Then again Phantom’s are never fair,” he muttered as he realised how childish he had just sounded.

“I will show you what isn’t fair,” stated Symbol as she got back up. “Three against two!” she reached for the Advance Timer.

“What are you talking about?” asked Dante.

Symbol said nothing as she pressed down on the Advance Timer’s Hand Author’s thumb. BREAKER ADVANCE! The Breaker magic circle appeared on the ground and ran up through the air as the Advance Breaker Energy Clone appeared out of thin air.

Dante stared for a moment. “WHAT?!” he shouted in shock.

“Your up, Advance Breaker,” ordered Symbol.

“You bet,” replied Advance Breaker as she pressed her Wizard Driver’s left Shift Lever once. TOUCH TO CAST THE NEXT LEVEL! Then she scanned her left glove across her Wizard Driver’s Hand Author as the emitters on her shin guards lit up. ADVANCE BREAKER C TIER SPELL! Red energy gathered around her right fist as she bolted towards the Vanguard Phantom at high speed. “Ha!” she threw her fist forwards, only to miss as the Phantom teleported out of the way, winking in behind her to slash the Advance Style Energy Clone across her backplate.

“Now’s your chance!” shouted Symbol as she pressed her Wizard Driver’s left Shift Lever twice. TOUCH TO CAST THE NEXT LEVEL! Then she scanned her left glove over her Wizard Driver’s Hand Author. ADVANCE B TIER SPELL! The emitters on her shoulder pauldrons funnelled yellow magical energy into her elbow as she dashed forward and slammed it into the Phantom’s back. Sparks exploded as the Vanguard Phantom stumbled forwards in pain, its swing missing Advance Breaker. “Hit it now!” Symbol ordered the Advance Style Energy Clone.

“You got it!” cheered Advance Breaker as she hit her Wizard Driver’s left Shift Lever twice. TOUCH TO CAST THE NEXT LEVEL! Then she scanned her left glove over her Wizard Driver’s Hand Author as red magical energy leaked from her shoulder pauldron emitters. ADVANCE BREAKER B TIER SPELL! Red energy lit up around her right fist as she uppercutted the Vanguard Phantom in the air, the attack had come too fast for the Phantom to react and it was sent flying.

“Leave the next part to me!” shouted Dante as she punched the Trigger Ring into the back of the Rebellion Magnum. FOUR! DEVIL! The red holographic four appeared next to the Rebellion Magnum’s skull as red energy gathered within the barrel. MAGNUM STRIKE! Dante pointed it at the Vanguard Phantom and pulled the trigger. Out of the Rebellion Magnum’s barrel shot a red axe construct that was spinning at high speed. It raced towards the Phantom, but it was too slow and the Vanguard Phantom was able to teleport out of the way.

“Your Angel Trigger Style would be better suited for this type of fight,” Symbol had to point out to her Brother.

“Even Advance Bounder could have told you that,” Advance Breaker somehow managed to insult a Kamen Rider and an Energy Clone in one breath.

“Shut up,” muttered Dante.

“Sir’s statement is correct,” pointed out X as she sent a Pride Phantom flying

“Second,” added Mega as she destroyed a Lust Phantom.

“Thirded,” finished Remnant as she strangled a Rage Phantom.

“You lot two!” shouted Dante.

“Hey, Dante, you know what’s even less fair than three on one?” asked Symbol.

“What?” asked Dante.

“Four on one!” shouted Symbol as she reached for the Advance Timer’s Hand Author’s thumb.

“Don’t tell me,” muttered Dante.

Symbol pressed the Advance Timer’s Hand Author’s thumb. BLOCKER ADVANCE! The Blocker magic circle appeared on the ground and the Advance Blocker Clone jumped out of it as the Vanguard Phantom appeared behind Symbol.

She pressed her Wizard Driver’s left Shift Lever twice. TOUCH TO CAST THE NEXT LEVEL! Then she scanned her left glove over her Wizard Driver’s Hand Author. ADVANCE BLOCKER B TIER SPELL! A circle shaped shield appeared behind Symbol and blocked the Phantom’s scythe, forcing the Vanguard Phantom back as its feet dug furrows in the ground.

“Dante!” shouted Symbol. “Let’s do this together!” shouted Symbol as she hit her Wizard Driver’s left Shift Lever once. TOUCH TO CAST THE NEXT LEVEL! Then she scanned her left glove over her Wizard Driver’s Hand Author as the emitters on her forearm guards powered up. ADVANCE C TIER SPELL! Yellow energy gathered around her left fist as she punched forwards, firing a fist thick beam that raced through the air towards the Vanguard Phantom.

“Alright,” replied Dante as he punched the Trigger Ring into the back of the Rebellion Magnum. TWO! DEVIL! The red two appeared next to the magnum’s skull as red energy collected around the barrel. MAGNUM STRIKE! Dante pulled the trigger and fired three bolts of red energy from the Rebellion Magnum. They shot forward and slammed into the Vanguard Phantom at the same time as Symbol’s beam. The Vanguard Phantom was sent flying back with sparks exploding out of its body.

The Phantom teleported back as it slashed at Symbol, then it vanished once more, appearing behind Advance Breaker and slashing her. The Phantom teleported away from several energy bolts at cut Dante with its scythe before ramming the shaft of the scythe into Advance Blocker’s stomach, sending her shooting back.

Symbol struggled back to her boots and looked at the Advance Timer. “For once things are going my way,” she muttered as she saw that the first clock hand had reached the green section. Symbol reached down and hit the Advance Timer’s Hand Author’s thumb. BOUNDER ADVANCE! The Bounder magic circle appeared in the air and the Advance Bounder Energy Clone dropped out of it.

She hit her Wizard Driver’s left Shift Lever three times. TOUCH TO CAST THE NEXT LEVEL! As the emitters on her shoulder pauldrons started to glow, she scanned her left glove over her Wizard Driver’s Hand Author. ADVANCE BOUNDER A TIER SPELL! Green magical energy covered her shoulder pauldrons as she tackled the Vanguard Phantom, she had been moving so fast that it had no time to dodge as it was sent shooting through a wall then into a pile of rubble.

“That’s going to come in handy,” stated Dante.

“I know right!” shouted Symbol to her brother as she slammed her glove down on her Wizard Driver’s left Shift Lever once. TOUCH TO CAST THE NEXT LEVEL! Then the magic based Kamen Rider scanned her left glove over her Wizard Driver’s Hand Author. ADVANCE C TIER SPELL! The emitters in her forearm guards channelled yellow magical energy into her gloves as she pulled her right fist back and punched forwards. Firing a beam of yellow energy that slammed into the Vanguard Phantom. Sparks exploded from the Phantom’s body as it was sent shooting backwards in pain.

The Phantom roared and teleported behind Symbol as Advance Breaker jumped into the air, hitting her Driver’s left Shift Lever three times as she did so. TOUCH TO CAST THE NEXT LEVEL! Red magical energy wrapped around her right fist after she scanned her left glove over her Wizard Driver’s Hand Author. ADVANCE BREAKER A TIER SPELL! “TAKE THIS!” roared Advance Breaker as she punched down, slamming her fist into the Vanguard Phantom’s head and driving it into the ground.

Symbol turned around, not having seen the Phantom about to reap her. “Thanks!” she thanked Advance Breaker.

“This is about to get even worse for that Phantom,” grinned Symbol as the Advance Timer’s first clock hand reached the purple segment.

“How so?” asked Dante.

Symbol answered by pressing the Advance Timer’s Hand Author’s thumb. BLASTER ADVANCE! The Blaster magic circle appeared in the air as the Advance Blaster Energy Clone ran out of it then she dropped onto the ground.

The Vanguard Phantom appeared behind Advance Blaster as she pressed her Wizard Driver’s left Shift Lever. TOUCH TO CAST THE NEXT LEVEL! Then she scanned her left glove across her Wizard Driver’s Hand Author. ADVANCE BLASTER B TIER SPELL! The emitters on her shoulder pauldrons lit up and a ring of purple orbs appeared around her before shooting outwards. They slammed into the Phantom, driving it backwards in a shower of sparks.

Then Dante punched the Trigger Ring into the back of the Rebellion Magnum. SIX! DEVIL! The holographic six appeared next to the Rebellion Magnum’s skull as red energy charged up inside the barrel. MAGNUM STRIKE! Dante pointed it and fired a cannon blast from the Rebellion Magnum’s barrel. It slammed into the Phantom and blew it backwards.

Advance Breaker dashed towards the Phantom as she hit her Wizard Driver’s left Shift Lever once. TOUCH TO CAST THE NEXT LEVEL! Then she swiped her left glove over her Wizard Driver’s Hand Author as the emitters on her forearm guards powered up. ADVANCE BREAKER C TIER SPELL! Red energy gathered around her right fist as she pulled it back, only for the Phantom to teleport out of the way, meaning that her fist passed through thin air.

The Phantom appeared behind Advance Breaker. “No you don’t!” shouted Advance Bounder as she hit her Wizard Driver’s left Shift Lever twice. TOUCH TO CAST THE NEXT LEVEL! Advance Bounder scanned her left glove in front of her Wizard Driver’s Hand Author as the emitters on her shoulder pauldrons lit up. ADVANCE BOUNDER B TIER SPELL! She covered her right boot in green magical energy as she zipped forwards and smashed her boot into the Phantom’s back. The Vanguard Phantom let out a wail of pain as it was sent flying through the air.

“Time to end this!” shouted Symbol as she hit her Wizard Driver’s left Shift Lever four times. TOUCH TO CAST THE NEXT LEVEL! VERY NICE! She scanned her left glove over her Wizard Driver’s Hand Author as the Advance Style Energy Clones got into formation, forming a pentagram with Symbol at the head of it. ADVANCE S TIER SPELL! THE BEST! Symbol floated into the air as the magic circle of each Energy Clone formed under them. The advance magic circle unfolded under Symbol and the energy was pulled into her boots as the clones collapsed into energy that was pulled inside of her. “Advance Impact!” shouted Symbol as she was sent flying towards the Phantom with a burst of mana. She slammed her boots into the Phantom and a multi coloured aurora shockwave blasted off in each direction. Symbol materialized behind the Phantom was it fell over with its body sparking from multi coloured lightning.

At that moment, Remnant arrived. “All hostels have been naturalized, Mistress,” she reported as she knelt down like a knight would before a queen.

Mega jumped down from a building. “All opponents have been defeated, Master,” she reported as she stood at attention.

X jumped out of the ground. “The mission has been completed, sir,” she saluted.

Symbol sighed as she switched the Advance Ring for the Active Ring and hit her Wizard Driver’s left Shift Lever. MAGICAL TOUCH HENSHIN! “I wish you lot would call me by my name,” she muttered as she scanned her left glove over her Wizard Driver’s Hand Author. ACTIVE PLEASE! She held her left glove out to the side as the Active magic circle appeared and moved through her. LET’S GO! “It can get really annoying,” muttered Symbol.

“Are you ok, Dante?” asked Symbol as she turned around.

Only to find a gun pointed at her faceplate.
> S2E2 Symbol vs Dante
> --------------------------------------------------------------------------

Normally, Symbol would not be shocked to have a gun pointed at her faceplate.

It was the gun that was pointed at her faceplate that was the problem.

It was Ebony.

Symbol looked past the gun. “Dante?! What are you doing?!” she demanded.

“I’m going to kill you,” whispered Dante. “Painfully and slowly,” he hissed out.

“What?!” shouted Symbol in utter shock. “WHY?!” she demanded.

“You have taken the form of my dead sister,” snarled Dante. “Such a trespass will not go unpunished!”

“Dante it’s me!” shouted Symbol.

“Even now, you continue to wear my sister’s face. If you expect me to believe you then you will have to prove it through battle!” Dante slammed the Rebellion Ring into his Driver’s left slot. GO! Red and blue energy gathered around his right boot as he pulled it back. KICK STRIKE! Symbol had not time to react as she was struck in the chin armour by an upwards kick that sent her flying into the air.

She arched up and crashed down onto a piece of rubble.

“So pathetic,” snarled out Dante as he stepped on one of Symbol’s trigger points.

Symbol or Sunset rather had a lot of her faults removed when she first got her Kamen Rider powers. She was much calmer and had a much clearer head than either of her Brothers. She would have continued to try and reason with Dante, but she had one major flaw. 

Pride

Her pride as a Kamen Rider and a fighter.

Once that was stepped on, the kid gloves came off.

“Alright, Brother,” she pulled herself back to her boots. “If that is how you want to be, then I’ll give you a lesson in pain.”

Symbol turned to Remnant, Mega and X. “None of you interfer!” she ordered.

“But, Mistress,” began Remnant.

“This is personal!” Symbol shot her down.

“Sir, this is a bad idea,” protested Mega with an emotionless frown on her face.

“That is an order!” thundered Symbol.

Both of the Kamen Riders stood at attention.

“Yes, Sir!” saluted Mega.

“As you command, Mistress,” added Remnant.

“Rodger!” replied X.

“My sister wouldn’t command Gem Maidens either,” spat out Dante.

That gave Symbol pause. “Ok, that is a good point and I can see why you would think that. But once this fight is over you’re going to let me explain.”

“After this fight, you’re going to die!” Dante all but snarled.

Let the battle begin.

Symbol started off by hitting her Wizard Driver’s left Shift Lever three times. MAGICAL TOUCH GO! Then she scanned her left glove and the Active Ring over her Wizard Driver’s Hand Author. ACTIVE! A RANK SPELL! Red lightning covered her body as she threw out her arms with a loud roar. “Take that!” a bolt of red lightning shot out of her chest plate and rocketed towards Dante.

Dante punched the Falco Trickster Ring into his Driver’s right slot. TWO! The Falco Trickster Mantle transformed into the Falco Wings. FALCO TRICK! Dante spread them and spun around in a circle, orange feathers shot outwards and slammed into the lightning blast. It was forced to detonate.

Dante drew the Rebellion Falco Blade as he dashed forward and punched the Rebellion Ring into the bottom it. ONE! Orange and red light wrapped around the sword as Dante blurred forwards. REBELLION SABER STRIKE! “Blast off!” shouted the Kamen Rider as he slashed upwards, cutting a line of sparks out of Symbol as she was sent flying into the air like a rocket.

Dante flapped the Falco Wings as he shot upwards, overtaking Symbol and raising the Rebellion Falco Sword over his helmet for a double gloved downwards slash.

“No, you don’t!” Symbol added the Boost and Defend Rings onto her right glove as she hit her Wizard Driver’s right Shift Lever. MAGIC TOUCHIE HENSHIN! Then she scanned her right glove in front of her Wizard Driver’s Hand Author. BOOST DEFEND PLEASE! The two magic circles appeared and moved through her.

“You think that will help you?!” shouted Dante as he slashed down.

Symbol slammed her glove down on her Wizard Driver’s right Shift Lever twice. MAGIC TOUCHIE GO! Then she scanned her right glove across her Wizard Driver’s Hand Author. DEFEND MAGIC PLEASE! She used the Defend Shield to block Dante’s sword but was still sent smashing into the ground with enough force to crater it.

“Not bad!” yelled Dante as he went shooting back down with an overhead slash.

Symbol growled as she hit her Wizard Driver’s right Shift Lever once. MAGIC TOUCHIE GO! Then she swiped her right glove over her Wizard Driver’s Hand Author. BOOST MAGIC PLEASE! The Boost Grieves glowed purple as she sprinted to the side. Dante came down, smashing his sword into the ground as Symbol jumped back in and kicked him in the side, hard.

“Argh!” Dante shouted in pain as he was sent flying backwards. He righted himself as he slammed the Rebellion Ring into the bottom of the Rebellion Falco Sword. TWO! Oranger energy covered the Rebellion Falco Blade as Dante flapped the Falco Wings and charged at his sister. REBELLION SABER STRIKE! “Take this!” roared Dante as he spun around and used his momentum to slash at Symbol.

“No thanks!” shouted Symbol as she drew the Active Rifle and pulled on its Hand Author’s thumb, opening it. COME ON A SHOOTING SHAKE HANDS! Then she scanned her left glove over the Hand Author. ACTIVE! SHOOTING STRIKE! Symbol fired a bolt of red energy from the barrel. “Defend Bolt!” which transformed into a kite shield construct, blocking the attack.

Dante staggered back as the sword bounced off the shield before blurring away and appearing behind Symbol. He slammed the Rebellion Ring into the back of the Rebellion Falco Sword. FIVE! Orange energy covered the sword as he blurred forwards. REBELLION SABER STRIKE! Symbol turned around, just in time for sparks to explode off her chest plate as Dante stabbed her. “Break down!” shouted Dante as he sent his sister flying backwards.

Symbol righted herself as she switched the Active Ring for the Swift Ring and hit her Driver’s left Shift Lever. MAGICAL TOUCH HENSHIN! Symbol scanned her left glove over her Wizard Driver’s Hand Author. SWIFT PLEASE! Then she held her left glove into the air as the Swift magic circle appeared over her helmet and fell through her. DASH AWAY!

Now in the Swift Style, Symbol hit her Wizard Driver’s left Shift Lever twice. MAGICAL TOUCH GO! Then she scanned her left glove over her Wizard Driver’s Hand Author as her visors glowed red. SWIFT! B RANK SPELL! In the next second, she accelerated forwards and smashed her fist into Dante’s faceplate before he had any time to react.

Dante was sent flying back as he flipped through the air and swiped the Rebellion Ring for the Aquila Ring, then he punched it into his Driver’s right slot. SET! Dante turned his wrist forwards. OPEN! The Aquila magic circle appeared from his Driver and moved back through him. A-Q-U-I-L-A! Transforming Dante into the Aquila Style.

Symbol was able to punch Dante three more times before he pressed the Aquila Ring into his Driver’s left slot. KICK STRIKE GO! Blue wind covered his body as Dante blurred forwards, avoiding another punch from his sister.

“I was hoping to do a bit more damage before you could transform,” grumbled Symbol.

Dante got back to his boots as he glared at the other Kamen Rider. “Tough luck!” he punched the Aquila Ring into the Aquila Star’s slot. THREE! Dante blurred forward as orange light covered the throwing stars. SHURIKEN STRIKE! He moved at such speeds that Symbol could do nothing as he closed the distance between them and spun around. The Aquila Star’s replicated into three pairs that orbited Dante as three rings, cutting into Symbol several times.

Symbol added the Wing and Zoomer Rings to her right glove as she hit her Wizard Driver’s right Shift Lever once. MAGIC TOUCHIE HENSHIN! Then she scanned her right glove across her Wizard Driver’s Hand Author. WING ZOOMER PLEASE! Symbol held her right glove into the air as the two magic circles appeared and dropped down through her.

She swiftly hit her Wizard Driver’s right Shift Lever twice. MAGIC TOUCHIE GO! Then she scanned her right glove over her Wizard Driver’s Hand Author as the Zoomer Wings ignited. ZOOMER MAGIC PLEASE! Symbol dashed forwards with her right fist pulled back as she aimed for Dante’s faceplate.

Dante reacts by punching the Aquila Ring into the Aquila Star’s slot. FOUR! Orange energy covered the Aquila Stars as Dante hurled them forwards. SHURIKEN STRIKE! They spun through the air and attempted to orbit around Symbol, forming into a binding ring as they did so. 

Symbol quickly hit her Wizard Driver’s right Shift Lever once. MAGIC TOUCHIE GO! Then she scanned her right glove over her Wizard Driver’s Hand Author. WING MAGIC PLEASE! The Speed Wings ignited and Symbol shot into the air, zooming over Dante and landing behind him. Dante turned around just in time for Symbol to unleash a barrage of high speed punches into its chest plate. Sparks exploded in all directions as Dante took a step back with each hit.

Then Dante let loose a wave of magical energy from his body as he switched the Aquila Ring for the Osiris Ring. “You’re not getting away with that!” he pressed the Osiris Ring into his Driver’s left slot. SET! Then he turned his wrist forwards. OPEN! The Osiris magic circle appeared from his Driver and moved back through him. O-S-I-R-I-S!

Then Dante ran at Symbol as he punched the Osiris Ring into the Osiris Scythe’s slot. ONE! Orange energy raced along the blade of the scythe. SCYTHE STRIKE! Dante spun around and slashed at his sister at high speed with his weapon. “You’ll pay!” he roared as the blade closed in on Symbol.

The Kamen Rider quickly switched the Wing and Zoomer Rings for the Arrow and Sniper Rings as she hit her Wizard Driver’s right Shift Lever once. MAGIC TOUCHIE HENSHIN! Then she scanned her right glove over her Wizard Driver’s Hand Author. ARROW SNIPER PLEASE! Symbol held her right glove into the air as the two magic circles appeared and fell through her.

But she had no time to do anything else as the Osisirs Falco Scythe hit her and started to cut into her body. Symbol shouted in pain as sparks erupted from where the scythe continued to slice into her. Suddenly, an explosion ignited between herself and Dante, driving the two of them apart. 

Symbol crashed into a wall and dropped down to the ground. “Well, that hurt,” she grumbled as she held her chest plate.

“There’s more where that came from!” shouted Dante as he pointed the Osiris Falco Scythe at his sister.

“Don’t make a threat you can’t keep,” growled Symbol as she hit her Wizard Driver’s right Shift Lever once. MAGIC TOUCHIE GO! Then she swiped her right glove over her Wizard Driver’s Hand Author as the Sniper Crossbow appeared in her other glove. ARROW MAGIC PLEASE! She took aim and fired an arrow of green wind at Dante.

Dante was able to see it coming thanks to the Falco Trickster Mantle and punched the Osiris Ring into the Osiris Falco Scythe. TWO! Dante started to spin the Osiris Falco Scythe as its blade was covered in orange energy. SCYTHE STRIKE! The arrow slammed into the makeshift shield and drove Dante back several paces. Dante gritted in effort and with one last spin, the Osiris Falco Scythe cut through the arrow and caused sparks to explode from his body as the wind cut into him.

“Now’s my chance!” shouted Symbol as she pressed her Wizard Driver’s left Shift Lever four times. MAGICAL TOUCH GO! VERY NICE! She scanned her left glove in front of her Wizard Driver’s Hand Author as green wind started to gather in front of the Sniper Crossbow. SWIFT! S RANK SPELL! THE BEST! Symbol took aim at Dante as the wind was pulled into the Sniper Crossbow.

Dante knew what was coming as he switched the Osiris Ring for the Eryx Ring. SET! Then he turned his wrist forwards. OPEN! The Eryx magic circle appeared from Dante’s Driver and moved back through him. E-R-Y-X!

Then he slid the Buffa Royalguard Ring into his right middle finger, before punching it into his Driver’s right slot. BUFFA! The Buffa magic circle appeared from his Driver. GO! Then it moved back through him. R-R-R-ROYALGUARD! In a flash of red light, the Eryx Gauntlets transformed into the Eryx Buffa Gauntlets.

Then Dante punched the Eryx Ring into the right Eryx Gauntlet’s slot. TWO! Red energy gathered around the gauntlets as Dante pulled back his fist. FIST STRIKE! He slammed a punch into the ground, creating a wall of red energy with horns.

“Arrow Buster!” shouted Symbol as she vanished and appeared behind Dante. He only had enough time to turn his helmet as Symbol fired a beam of green energy with blue edges. It roared through the air and smashed into him. Dante was sent flying through his own barrier and into a wall.

“You’ll pay!” roared Dante as he drew the Revenant and pulled open its barrels before punching the Eryx Ring into the back of the left barrel. ERYX! Then he slammed the Buffa Ring into the right barrel. BUFFA! Dante clicked the barrels closed. HALF CHARGE! Red energy started to gather around both of the barrels. FULLY CHARGED! Dante took aim at Symbol and pulled the trigger. “Fire!” he shouted as a fist construct and a buffalo construct shot out of the shotgun. They zoomed towards Symbol at high speed.

“Oh no you don’t!” shouted Symbol as she switched the Swift Ring for the Giga Ring and pressed her Wizard Driver’s left Shift Lever. MAGICAL TOUCH HENSHIN! Then she scanned her left glove over her Wizard Driver’s Hand Author. GIGA PLEASE! Symbol held her left glove down to the ground as the Giga magic circle appeared under her boots and rose up through her. BREAK THROUGH! Transforming her into the Giga Style.

She scanned her right glove across her Wizard Driver’s Hand Author. PUNCH QUAKE PLEASE! The two magic circles appeared under her boots and zoomed up through her. Transforming Symbol into the Giga Punch Quake Style.

Seeing that the constructs were now dangerously close, Symbol hit her Wizard Driver’s right Shift Lever once. MAGIC TOUCHIC GO! Then she quickly swiped her right glove over her Wizard Driver’s Hand Author as she pulled back her left glove. PUNCH MAGIC PLEASE! Symbol punched forwards and the Punch Impacts fired. Out of it shot a bolt of flame that slammed into Dante’s constructs.

Only for the constructs to shatter through the bolt of flame.

“Shit!” shouted Symbol as she hit her Wizard Driver’s right Shift Lever twice. MAGIC TOUCHIC GO! Then she scanned her right glove over her Wizard Driver’s Hand Author as the constructs slammed into her chestplate. QUAKE MAGIC PLEASE! “Argh!” shouted Symbol in pain as she was sent flying back with sparks exploding from the twin impact points.

Symbol got up and growled as she switched the Punch Ring for the Drill Ring and slammed her right glove down on her Wizard Driver’s right Shift Lever. MAGIC TOUCHIE HENSHIN! Then she swiped her right glove across her Wizard Driver’s Hand Author. BOMBARDMENT QUAKE PLEASE! She held her right glove down to the ground and the Bombardment magic circle appeared under her boots before moving up through her. Transforming Symbol into the Giga Bombardment Quake Style.

“Take this!” shouted Symbol as she pressed her Wizard Driver’s right Shift Lever once. MAGIC TOUCHIC GO! She took aim with the Impact Cannon as she scanned her right glove across her Wizard Driver’s Hand Author. BOMBARDMENT MAGIC PLEASE! Symbol fired an orange shell from the Impact Cannon. It soared through the air and spiralled towards Dante.

“That isn’t going to work!” yelled Dante as he switched the Buffa Royalguard Ring for the Falco Trickster Ring. Then he punched it into his Driver’s right sport. FALCO! Datne turned his wrist forwards. GO! The Falco Trickster magic circle appeared from his Driver and moved back through him. T-T-T-TRICKSTER! Transforming Dante into the Falco Eryx Style.

Just before the shell was able to reach him, Dante punched the Falco Trickster Ring into his Driver’s right port. TWO! The Falco Wings appeared from his backplate in a flash of orange and he gave them a mighty flap. FALCO TRICK! A dust cloud was generated around him and the shell soared into it before exploding.

“Did I hit him?” questioned Symbol.

Dante appeared behind Symbol. “Nope,” he replied as he punched the Eryx Ring into the right Falco Eryx Gauntlets slot. SIX! Red and orange energy gathered around the left Falco Eryx Gauntlet as Dante pulled it back. FIST STRIKE! Symbol turned around, just in time to get a super powered punch to the face. The impact released a red and orange shockwave that sent her skipping along the ground like a stone on a pond. She slammed into a wall, creating a massive explosion.

“How much of the world do you think will be left after they have finished?” questioned Remnant.

“Not a lot,” replied Mega.

Symbol got back up and hit her Wizard Driver’s right Shift Lever twice. MAGIC TOUCHIC GO! Then she scanned her right glove over her Wizard Driver’s Hand Author. QUAKE MAGIC PLEASE! “Take this!” shouted Symbol as she took aim and fired an orange shell at Dante.

“No thanks,” replied Dante as he switched the Eryx Ring for the Arbiter Ring and punched it into his Driver’s left slot. SET! Dante turned his wrist forwards. OPEN!

Dante quickly switched the Arbiter Ring for the Osiris Ring and punched it into his Driver’s left slot. SET! The Osiris magic circle appeared from his Driver. OPEN! It moved back through Dante. O-S-I-R-I-S! Transforming him into the Osiris Style. 

Dante punched the Osiris Ring into the Falco Osiris Scythe’s slot. SIX! Orange and blue magical energy covered the Falco Osiris Scythe’s blade SCYTHE STRIKE! He blurred forwards, using the Falco Wings to give him a boost as he slashed Symbol across the waist. Symbol grunted in pain as sparks flew from the cut.

“I’ll keep up the pressure!” shouted Dante as he slammed the Osiris Ring into the Falco Osiris Scythe’s slot once more. FIVE! Orange and blue energy covered the Falco Osiris Scythe as Dante took up and stance. SCYTHE STRIKE! He slashed Symbol two dozen times in two seconds before spinning around.

As Dante brought the Falco Osiris Scythe around for a hard downwards slash. Symbol quickly switched the Bombardment and Quake Rings for the Punch and Drill Rings. Then she pressed down on her Wizard Driver’s right Shift Lever. MAGIC TOUCHIE HENSHIN! She scanned her right glove across her Wizard Driver’s Hand Author. PUNCH DRILL PLEASE! The two magic circles appeared under her boots and moved up through her.

Symbol quickly pressed her Wizard Driver’s right Shift Lever twice. MAGIC TOUCHIC GO! She swiped her right glove over her Wizard Driver’s Hand Author and punched the ground. DRILL MAGIC PLEASE! Out of which burst of wall of drills, blocking Dante’s attack before it could hit her.

“Nice try!” Dante switched the Falco Ring for a new Ring that was black with a green gem in the centre which had a chameleon head engraved into it. Then he punched it into his Driver’s right slot. CHAMELIO He held his right glove out to the side as a new magic circle appeared. GO! It was coloured green with a chameleon head in the centre of it. S-S-S-SWORDMASTER! The Falco Trickster Mantle was replaced with a new mantle. It was coloured green and the shoulder guard was a green chameleon head with yellow eyes and a yellow tongue. 

The Falco Arbiter Axe transformed so that the axe blade looked like a chameleon's tongue. This is the Chamelio Arbiter Axe.

Dante pressed the Arbiter Ring into the Chamelio Arbiter Axer’s slot. TWO! Green and red magical energy gathered around the mighty weapon as Dante spun it around several times. AXE STRIKE! Then he slammed into the ground, firing a line of red and green energy around the drill wall.

“Oh no,” muttered Symbol as she saw the attack approaching and was unable to do anything before it reached her boots. She was sent flying into the air as the magical energy wrapped around her.

Dante leapt into the air, overtaking Symbol as he punched the Arbiter Ring into the Chamelio Arbiter Axe’s slot once more. FIVE! Red and green energy wrapped around the polearm as Dante pulled it back and went shooting down. AXE STRIKE! “Take this you copycat!” shouted Dante as he swung the axe towards Symbol’s helmet.

“How many times do I have to say that it’s me?!” shouted Symbol as she broke free and switched the Punch Ring for the Hammer Ring, she pressed her Wizard Driver’s right Shift Lever. MAGIC TOUCHIE HENSHIN! Then she scanned her right glove over her Wizard Driver’s Hand Author. HAMMER DRILL PLEASE! The Hammer magic circle appeared and moved up through her.

Symbol swung the Driller Hammer around and slammed it into the Chamelio Arbiter Axe. The two polearms ground against each other before the energy built up and their holders were sent flying in opposite directions.

Symbol slammed into the ground. Making a rather large crater.

Dante was able to correct himself in the air and land on his boots. “Ha! Not so tough now!” shouted Dante mockingly. 

Symbol growled as she got back up, switching the Drill Ring for the Quake Ring. Then she hit her Wizard Driver’s right Shift Lever once. MAGIC TOUCHIE HENSHIN! She swiped her right glove across her Wizard Driver’s Hand Author. HAMMER QUAKE PLEASE! Then she held her right glove down to the ground as the Quake magic circle appeared under her boots and rose up through her.

“No, you don’t!” shouted Dante as he drew Ebony and Ivory before opening fire with a barrage of bullets. Most of which bounce of Symbol’s armour with no visible damage. Dante clicked his tongue. “I forgot about that,” he confessed to himself as he held down on his twin handcannon’s triggers. Green energy gathered around the barrels. EBONY AND IVORY STRIKE! The guns were fully charged as Dante let go off the triggers and fired a barrage of bullets. They weaved and arced through the air before slamming into Symbol and sparks exploded off her armour.

“What on earth?!” shouted Symbol. “How did you!?” 

“This mantle upps my piercing power!” replied Dante. “It’s party time baby!” he fired another barrage of green bullets towards Symbol.

“I’ve got to stop this!” Symbol pressed her Wizard Driver’s right Shift Lever twice. MAGIC TOUCHIC GO! Then she scanned her right glove over her Wizard Driver’s Hand Author as the pistons on the Impact Hammer pulled back. QUAKE MAGIC PLEASE! Symbol spun the Impact Hammer twice before slamming it into the ground. A circle of orange energy surrounded her and the bullets were forced off course.

There was a glint in Dante’s visors. ‘Nice try, Phantom!’ he thought.

Suddenly, the bullets were back on course and slammed into Symbol. “Oh, you have got to be kidding me! Auto-Correction?!” she shouted in anger as sparks exploded from her body when the bullets slammed into her.

Dante let loose with a three barrage.

“I won’t fall for the same trick a third time!” yelled Symbol as she switched the Giga Ring for the Active Ring and hit her Driver’s left Shift Lever once. MAGICAL TOUCH HENSHIN! Then she scanned her left glove across her Wizard Driver’s Hand Author. ACTIVE PLEASE! Symbol held her glove out to the side as the Active magic circle appeared. LET’S GO! It moved through her, transforming Symbol from the Giga Style to the Active Style.

Symbol added the Boost and Defend Rings to her right glove before hitting her Wizard Driver’s right Shift Lever. MAGIC TOUCHIE HENSHIN! She scanned her right glove. BOOST DEFEND PLEASE! Symbol held her right glove out to the side as the two magic circles appeared and moved through her.

Then she pressed her Wizard Driver’s right Shift Lever twice. MAGIC TOUCHIE GO! She scanned her right glove across her Driver’s Hand Author. DEFEND MAGIC PLEASE! “I’m stopping this!” shouted Symbol as the Defend Shield created a dome of grey energy around her, blocking the attack.

“I think you’ve forgotten what style I’m in!” shouted Dante as he punched the Arbiter Ring into the Chamelio Arbiter Axe’s slot. SIX! “Here!” red and green energy raced up the shaft and into the axe head. AXE STRIKE! “Let me remind you!” Dante slammed the Chamelio Arbiter Axe into the ground and out of the impact point came a wave of red energy that raced towards Symbol, covering the dome. “She’s done,” if Dante had been in his human form, then he would have smirked.

Meanwhile, inside the dome, Symbol’s protection was cracking. “Dante’s gotten a lot stronger!” commented Symbol as she switched the Boost Ring for the Slasher Ring and hit her Driver’s right Shift Lever. MAGIC TOUCHIE HENSHIN! Then Symbol scanned her right glove over her Driver. SLASHER DEFEND PLEASE! She thrust her right glove out to the side as the Slasher magic circle appeared and moved through her. Transforming Symbol into the Active Slasher Defend Style.

“I’d better hurry up!” Symbol could see the dome cracking. She hit her Wizard Driver’s left Shift Lever four times. MAGICAL TOUCH GO! VERY NICE! Then she scanned her left glove across her Wizard Driver’s Hand Author as red lightning surged into the Slasher Defend Gauntlets. ACTIVE! S RANK SPELL! THE BEST! Symbol docked them over her helmet and started to spin, quickly drilling through the dome, then through the energy wave.

“Oh come on!” shouted Dante as he saw Symbol burst out of the trap.

Symbol changed her course so that she was spiralling towards her Brother.

Dante quickly switched the Arbiter Ring for the Rebellion Ring and punched it into his Driver’s left port. SET! He turned his wrist forwards. OPEN! The Rebellion magic circle appeared from his Driver. R-E-B-E-L-L-I-O-N! It moved back through him, transforming Dante into the Rebellion Style.

He drew the Chamelio Rebellion Sword and punched the Rebellion Ring into its slot. FIVE! Green energy gathered around the tip of the sword. REBELLION SABER STRIKE! Dante pulled it back and stabbed into the Slasher Defend Claws as Symbol got within range.

It was clear that Dante had the advantage.

For a few seconds.

He was forced to grab his arm with his other glove, before dropping to one knee. “Still not good enough,” Dante pulled the Chamelio Rebellion Sword’s trigger. REBELLION SABER STRIKE! Suddenly, the Chameleon Rebellion Blade extended, forcing Symbol back into the air.

“No!” shouted Symbol.

“Yes!” cheered Dante. “Stinger!” energy surged down the Chamelio Rebellion Blade and forced Symbol back. The energy built up before exploding, sending Symbol flying into the ground as a smoking heap.

Symbol recovered, she flipped back to her boots as she switched Rings and hit her Wizard Driver’s right Shift Lever. MAGIC TOUCHIE HENSHIN! Then she scanned her right glove across her Wizard Driver’s Hand Author. SLASHER BIND PLEASE! Symbol ran towards Dante as she held her right glove out to the side and the Bind magic circle appeared before moving through her.

Then Symbol pressed her Wizard Driver’s right Shift Lever twice. MAGIC TOUCHIE GO! “Let’s see how well you do when you can’t move!” shouted Symbol as she scanned her right glove over her Wizard Driver’s Hand Author. BIND MAGIC PLEASE! Orange chains burst out of the ground and surged towards Dante.

“Nice try!” mocked Dante as he switched the Rebellion Ring for the Osiris Ring and punched it into his Driver’s left slot. SET! Dante turned his wrist forwards. OPEN! The Osiris magic circle appeared from his Driver and moved back through him. O-S-I-R-I-S!

Symbol slashed upwards, firing six crescents of green energy that spun through the air and slammed into Dante, forcing him to abort his attack as sparks exploded from his body and he staggered back in pain.

Dante snarled. TRIGGER! He ran towards his sister. GO ANGEL! The Angel Trigger magic circle passed through him. AN-AN-AN-ANGEL! Transforming him into the Angel Trigger Style. He drew the Rebellion Magnum and punched the Angel Trigger Ring into the back of it. ANGEL ONE! Blue energy gathered in front of the Rebellion Magnum. MAGNUM STRIKE! Instead of pulling the trigger, Dante held down on it. MAGNUM STRIKE! Ten Rings of blue magical energy were pulled into the gun. ANGEL! Dante took aim and fired. Out of the Rebellion Magnum roared a ring of blue magical energy that spiralled through the air and slammed into Symbol.

She had no time to do anything as sparks exploded from her body. The ring shone brighter and brighter before it exploded. Symbol was sent flying backward as a screaming fireball that slammed into a building.

SET! Dante leapt towards her. OPEN! The Rebellion magic circle passed through him. R-E-B-E-L-L-I-O-N! “Now you will die for taking on my sister’s face!” snarled out Dante.

“Dante please,” begged Symbol as her transformation ended and she transformed back into Sunset. “It’s me!” 

“My sister’s would never beg,” ONE! Dante pulled back the Rebellion Blade. REBELLION SABER STRIKE! Then he pressed its trigger. REBELLION SABER STRIKE! Energy surged over it as he brought the sword down.

Sunset could have sworn she sworn she saw something in Dante’s visors.

S-N-I-P-E-R! Suddenly, there was a flash of red off to the side. W-I-N-D D-U-S-T P-O-W-E-R-E-D! Sparks exploded from Dante’s side as a high powered sniper bullet slammed into him and forced him to stumble off to the side. The Rebellion Blade missed its target by a wide margin.

“Thank goodness,” muttered Sunset as she closed her eyes.

“You will pay for that!” Dante snarled as he turned towards Kamen Rider Weapon. He slid the Chamelio Swordmaster Ring onto his right glove and punched the Rings into his Driver’s right port. CHAMELIO Dante turned his wrist forwards. GO! Then he threw his right glove out to the side as the Chamelio Swordmaster magic circle appeared. S-S-S-SWORDMASTER!

Dante jumped into the air as he punched the Rebellion Ring into the back of the Chamelio Rebellion Sword. TWO! Green energy covered the sword as Dante started to spin. REBELLION SABER STRIKE! The Sword extended as Dante spun towards Kamen Rider Weapon.

Seeing what was coming, she pressed down on the Myrtenaster Whistle once and slammed the right side of the Dust Knuckle into the left side of the Weapon Driver. S-W-O-R-D! A white rapier with a four pointed guard and a light blue handle appeared in her glove. She charged it with light blue energy and stabbed down towards Dante.

She pressed down on the Myrtenaster Whistle twice. C-A-S-T-E-R! She held up her right glove and a magic circle appeared. Only for the construct to smash through it like glass. The fragments were pulled after it and dug into Weapon’s body. Sparks exploded as the construct sawed into her body before the Kamen Rider fell back and exploded. When the explosion cleared, Gilda and Lightning Dust could be seen lying on the ground, knocked out.

BEOWULF BITING! “More pests?!” demanded Dante as he looked to the side. ROSE SPEED ATTACK! Just in time to see Grimm charging. Her body shifted into rose petals and then closed the distance in an instant before shifting back. She pulled back her right fist as it was surrounded by black mist. The Beowulf Claws appeared as she slashed Dante across the chest plate down to his stomach.

“Argh!” shouted Dante as he slammed the Arbiter Ring into the Chamelio Arbiter Axe’s slot. TWO! Dante slammed the weapon down on the ground as green magical energy raced through it. AXE STRIKE! A line of green energy raced through the ground and sent Grimm shooting into the air.

Her legs were covered by black mist and transformed into a pair of Beowulf legs as she shot down. She slammed her left leg into Dante’s gut and he was sent flying back with sparks exploding from the impact point.

Dante turned his right wrist forwards before throwing his right arm out to the side. GO!  T-T-T-TRICKSTER! The Falco Trickster magic circle appeared to his right and moved through him, changing the Chamelio Swordmaster Mantle into the Falco Trickster Mantle.

He flipped around and slammed both of his boots into sending out a shockwave of orange energy.

Remnant was sent flying off her boots and into the air. She quickly pressed down on the Rose Speed Whistle twice before slamming the left side of the Aura Knuckle into the right side of the Grimm Driver. ROSE SPEED BATTLE! Her body transformed into rose petals as she circled around Dante, kicking him from every side. Sparks bled from each impact as Dante was thrown around inside a tornado of rose petals.

The Falco Wings appeared on his back as he shot into the air. “Slam!” Dante held up both of his fists and slammed them down in a double hammer blow. Sparks exploded from Grimm’s armour as a shockwave of red energy spread out from her. She slammed into the ground and her transformation broke apart, revealing Lyra and Bon Bon, both of which were knocked out.

“This is getting out of hand!” shouted Dante as he lunged at Lyra. “Now you get to see your Gem Maiden friends die!” snarled out Dante.

“Dante, please don’t!” cried Sunset. “I think that they are the key to understanding what happened before I was taken in by Sparda and Eva!” 

“Why would I care about what happened to a monster like you before you were taking in by the traitor and the whore,” spat out Dante.

“Ok, that confirms that there is something wrong with you,” stated Sunset.

“What is that supposed to mean?!” demanded Dante.

“You’d were never fond of Dad but you’d never call him a traitor,” replied Sunset.

“Shit!” muttered Dante.

“Let alone call Mom a whore!” added Sunset.

“Double shit,” growled Dante.

“Also, your swearing isn’t exactly helping!” shouted Sunset.

“You heard that?!” demanded Dante.

“Your not very quiet!” yelled Sunset.

“Well, it won’t matter!” shouted Dante. He punched the Eryx Ring into the back of the right Buffa Eryx Gauntlet. FIVE! He jumped into the air. “Cause you’re going to die!” shouted Dante as he went shooting down. FIST STRIKE! “Alone! Like the abomination you are!” he roared.

“One small problem,” replied Sunset as Dante’s fist went shooting towards her face. “I’m not alone, not now, not ever.”

PROTO SHIELD! Only for Mega to jump in the way with the Proto Shield, stopping him from reaching Lyra. “Damn you!” screamed Dante as he was sent flying back by a pulse of red energy.

Mega deactivate the Proto Shield and then switched the Fire Tune Whistle for a new Whistle that was white with the head looking like a green thunderbolt. She slotted it into the Mega Driver’s mouth and pressed down on it. THUNDER TUNE! A sphere of lightning covered her body before several seconds, then it dispelled in a flash as the transformation finished.

She removed the Thunder Tuner Whistle and replaced it with a Whistle that was pink and had a buster for a head. BUSTER! Her left arm broke into pieces of square shaped data and pulled itself back together in the shape of a cylinder cannon. She fired several shots of green lightning at Dante.

“Now I’ve got you!” Dante punched the Eryx Ring into his Driver’s left slot. GO! KICK STRIKE! Red energy covered Dante’s right boot as he dashed forward and leapt into a flying kick. “Slam!” shouted Dante as he roared towards Kamen Rider Mega.

Mega saw this and pressed the Buster into her Mega Driver’s mouth. BUSTER BITE! Green energy flowed into the Buster as Mega took aim. She fired a giant sphere of green lightning that roared forwards and slammed into Dante’s kick. Bolts of green lightning flew everywhere as the two energy clashed for several seconds Dante was held back in the air.

Then he broke through.

The orb was dispelled and he smashed into Mega. Sparks exploded from the impact point as a bolt of red energy tore through her backplate. Mega was sent flying back and smashed through a wall.

She got back up with sparks bleeding from several cracks in her armour.

“Why won’t you stay down?!” demanded Dante.

“Adjusting tactics,” was Mega’s response as she pulled out a new whistle. The head looked like a beam of orange light while the rest of it was coloured white. She inserted it into the Mega Driver’s mouth and pressed down on it. LIGHT TUNE! Mega was surrounded by a cocoon of orange light, which dispelled after a few seconds, revealing her in her new form.

She was now Kamen Rider Mega, Light Tune.

“No you don’t!” screamed Dante as he drew Ebony and Ivory, he held down on both triggers. EBONY AND IVORY STRIKE! Then he released both of the triggers, firing a pair of Eryx Gauntlet constructs that shot through the air. They spiralled around each other as they closed in on Mega.

She drew another Whistle that was orange with a head that was shaped like a pair of cutters. She slammed it into the Mega Driver’s mouth and pressed down on it. ROLLING CUTTER! Mega pulled back her left glove and threw it forwards. A blast of orange light shot out of her glove, it formed into the shape of a pair of scissor blades. It shot through the air and cut through the constructs, before slicing into Dante’s chest plate. Sparks exploded from the cut as Dante stumbled back.

ROLLING SHIELD BITE! All of a sudden, Dante was slammed into by a shield sphere shaped shield. He was sent flying through the air and smashed into a wall. “There’s even more of you pest?!” he shouted as he got back to his boots.

Light blue and dark blue energy were pulled into the Dolphi Aquila Stars as Dante pulled them back and threw them forwards.

“ENOUGH!” roared out Dante as he slammed the Aquila Ring into the Aquila Star’s slot. SIX! Dark blue energy covered the shurikens. SHURIKEN STRIKE! Light blue energy covered Dante’s body as he started to spin, creating a tornado around himself that forced the ice shards away. Then he started spinning towards Kamen Rider X.

“Time to die,” hissed out Dante.

“DANTE!” shouted Sunset as she got back to her feet.

Dante looked at her. 

“No one is dying today!” shouted Sunset.

Dante scoffed. “What makes you think you can stop me?” he demanded. 

“I hesitated before because I didn’t want to hurt my Brother,” explained Sunset. “Now that I know he’s being controlled, all I have to do is score lethal damage and my Kamen Rider powers will undo the control!” Sunset slid on the Advance Ring and hit her Wizard Driver’s left Shift Lever once.

“Can’t do much now. Can you?!” shouted Dante as he punched the Angel Trigger Ring into the Rebellion Magnum once again. ANGEL FOUR! Dante pointed the gun to the side and fired a line of blue energy that cut through the air. 

“What was that supposed to do?” asked Symbol. MAGNUM STRIKE! She got her answer when the bolt curved around and slammed into her back plate, exploding and making her stumble a step forwards with a cry of pain.

TOUCH TO CAST THE NEXT LEVEL! “I will be the one to finish it,” she scanned her left glove in front of her Wizard Driver’s Hand Author. ADVANCE BLASTER A TIER SPELL! Purple energy flowed from her forearm guards, into her gloves as she fired a massive beam that bathed over Dante. After a few seconds, a massive explosion blasted through the area. 

ADVANCE WEAPON TIME! Symbol hit the Advance Timer’s thumb. BREAKER SWORD! “Just in case,” she muttered as Advance Breaker reached into her magic circle and pulled out the Breaker Sword.

Dante landed on the ground as sparks exploded from his armour. Mico explosions went off around him as the armour dispelled, leaving a badly injured Dante on the ground in his human form.

“Is that it?” asked Advance Breaker.

“Looks like it,” replied Advance Bounder.

“I won’t have thought it would have been that easy,” commented Advance Blaster.

“You came in at the end!” shouted Advance Blocker.

“Wait for it,” muttered Symbol.

Black smoke started to come off Dante’s body.

“I told you!” shouted Advance Breaker.

“NO YOU DID NOT!” roared the other three Advance Style Energy Clones.

The smoke formed into a grey humanoid with a black robe, glowing red eyes and sharp pointed ears. This is the Adze Phantom.

“You will die,” snarled out the Adze Phantom.

“You first!” shouted Symbol as she hit the Advance Timer’s thumb once again. BLOCKER SWORD! The Advance Blocker Energy Clone reached into the Blocker magic circle and pulled out the Blocker Sword.

“Let’s do this!” shouted Advance Breaker as she spun the Upper Active Barrel before pulling the Breaker Sword’s first trigger to stop it spinning on the Aqua magic circle. BREAKER SLASHING STRIKE! Water surrounded the Breaker Sword as Symbol slashed upwards, firing a vertical crescent of water.

Only for the Adze Phantom to weave around it and blur forwards, slashing Advance Breaker across the chest plate several times with its sharp claws. “Ha!” it cackled in a very evil and deranged manner.

“Sister!” shouted Advance Blocker as she spun the Lower Giga Barrel. Then she pulled the second trigger, stopping it on the Bombardment magic circle. BLOCKER SLASHING STRIKE! The Adze Phantom ran at Advance Bounder, only for a shield to appear in front of it, stopping the Phantom from getting close. But the Adze Phantom merely leapt over the shield and slashed at the energy clone several times. Sparks exploded from her body as she staggered back.

The Phantom turned around and charged at Advance Blocker. “Not a chance!” roared Advance Blaster as she pressed her Wizard Driver’s left Shift Lever twice. TOUCH TO CAST THE NEXT LEVEL! Then she swiped her left glove across her Wizard Driver’s Hand Author. ADVANCE BLASTER B TIER SPELL! The emitters on her shoulder pauldrons lit up and a circle of purple spheres appeared around Advance Blocker before shooting outwards. The Adze Phantom dove under the attack and kicked Advance Blocker with a rising kick that sent her into the air. Sparks flew from her faceplate as the Adze Phantom’s sharp nails scratched her across the faceplate.

Symbol hit the Advance Timer’s thumb once more. BOUNDER SWORD! Advance Bounder reached into the Bounder magic circle and pulled out the Bounder Sword. She spun the Lower Swift barrel and pulled the second trigger to stop it on the Arrow magic circle. BOUNDER SLASHING STRIKE! She blurred forwards and appeared in front of the Adze Phantom, stabbing it several thousand times in under a second. Only for the Phantom to block every spin stab and then jab her in the chestplate with a closed hand.

The Adze Phantom grabbed Advance Bounder by the neck and was about to finish her off. “No, you don’t!” Advance Blocker pressed her Wizard Driver’s left Shift Lever three times. TOUCH TO CAST THE NEXT LEVEL! “You will not harm my family!” she scanned her left glove across her Wizard Driver’s Hand Author. ADVANCE BLOCKER A TIER SPELL! A blue aura appeared around Advance Bounder. Sparks came from it as the Adze Phantom’s hand screamed along with it.

Advance Breaker spun the Upper Active Barrel, she pulled the first trigger, stopping it on the Bind magic circle. BREAKER SLASHING STRIKE! She stabbed the sword into the ground and several red chains burst out of the ground around the Phantom. They stamped to tie it up, but the Phantom dodged every single chain.

“How fast is this thing?!” demanded Symbol as she pressed her Wizard Driver’s left Shift Lever twice. TOUCH TO CAST THE NEXT LEVEL! Then she scanned her left glove across her Wizard Driver’s Hand Author as the emitters on her shoulder pauldrons lit up. ADVANCE B TIER SPELL! Yellow magical energy covered her right elbow as she dashed forwards and ran an elbow jab at the Phantom. Only for it to dodge and slash her in the stomach with its sharp fingernails.

Symbol staggered back in pain as she hit the Advance Timer’s thumb once more. BLASTER SWORD! “Thank you!” Advance Blaster reached into the Blaster magic circle as it appeared and pulled out the Blaster Sword. She quickly spun the Lower Burst Barrel, then pulled the second trigger, stopping it on the Dust magic circle. BLASTER SLASHING STRIKE! She dashed forward and slashed at the Adze Phantom so fast that her arm was nothing but a blur. “Why can’t I hit him?!” the Phantom had blocked every single slash and kicked her with its sharp toenails.

Advance Bounder had gotten back up and pressed her Wizard Driver’s left Shift Lever twice. TOUCH TO CAST THE NEXT LEVEL! She held her left glove in front of her Wizard Driver’s Hand Author as the emitters on her shoulder pauldrons lit up. ADVANCE BOUNDER B TIER SPELL! The energy gathered around her right boot as she surged forward. She threw a reverse spin kick at the Phantom’s head, only for it to duck, kick her other leg from under her and then smash its hand into her stomach. The air was driven from her lungs and sparks came from the impact point as she smashed into the ground.

Advance Breaker spun the Lower Active Barrel and pulled the second trigger, stopping it on the Boost magic circle. BREAKER SLASHING STRIKE! She slashed upwards, only for the Phantom to dodge and kick her through the air, she smashed into a wall that then fell over on top of her.

Symbol hit the Advance Timer’s thumb. ADVANCE SWORD! She reached into the Advance magic circle and pulled out the Advance Sword as the Advance Timer’s third clock hand started moving. ADVANCE PART TIME! But she had no time to do anything as the Adze Phantom smashed a kick into her chest plate. Sparks exploded from the impact point as she was sent shooting down into the ground. ‘How did it take out Advance Blocker and Blaster so fast?’ was her last thought as she passed out. Her transformation was held together unconsciously.

“Now it is time for the end,” hissed out the Adze Phantom.

S-N-I-P-E-R! W-I-N-D D-U-S-T P-O-W-E-R-E-D! A high powered sniper bullet slammed into the Phantom and drove him back several paces. “Your both up already?!” he shouted as he saw Kamen Rider Weapon and Kamen Rider Grimm standing there.

“You shall not harm our Mistress,” droned Kamen Rider Weapon.

“Mission one: Protect the Mistress,” added Kamen Rider Grimm.

“Then your’ precious Mistress can watch you die,” snarled out the Adze Phantom as it blurred towards the two Kamen Riders.

Grimm removed the Aura Knuckle from the Grimm Driver. She switched the Beowulf Whistle for the Beringel Whistle. It was white with a gorilla for a head. BERINGEL! She slammed the left side of the Aura Knuckle into her right palm. R-E-A-D-Y! Then she slotted the left side of the Aura Knuckle into the right side of the Grimm Driver. F-I-S-T O-N! The hologram appeared in front of her and moved back, transforming the Beowulf on her chest plate into a Beringel. It looked like a gorilla with black fur, red eyes and white bone armour. She pressed down on the Beringel Whistle once and slammed the left side of the Aura Knuckle into the right side of the Grimm Driver. BERINGEL BITTING! White armour gauntlets with red veins and white armour over her knuckles appeared. Kamen Rider Grimm ran forwards and swung at the Adze Phantom, only for it to dodge the punch and slash her from behind, drawing an explosion of sparks from her backplate.

Meanwhile, Kamen Rider Weapon removed the Dust Knuckle from the Weapon Driver and switched the Wind Dust Whistle for a white Whistle, the head looked like a red fire. F-I-R-E D-U-S-T! She slammed the right side of the Dust Knuckle into her left palm. R-E-A-D-Y! Weapon slotted the right side of the Dust Knuckle into the left side of the Weapon Driver. F-I-S-T O-N! The hologram appeared in front of her and moved back. The green wind background on her armour transformed into a red flame background. She pressed down on the Crescent Rose Whistle once and slammed the right side of the Dust Knuckle into the left side of the Weapon Driver. S-C-Y-T-H-E! The Crescent Scythe vanished and transformed into the Crescent Rifle.

Then Kamen Rider Weapon pushed down on the Fire Dust Whistle once. F-I-R-E D-U-S-T C-H-A-R-G-E! The blade of the Crescent Scythe burst into flames as she jumped into the air and came down with a slash. The Adze Phantom’s back exploded into sparks and burn makes as the Crescent Scythe raked a flowing red line down through it. The Phantom spun around and backhanded Weapon through the air at high speed.

But the Adze Phantom had made the mistake of taking its eyes of Grimm. She hit the Beringel Whistle down twice before slamming the left side of the Aura Knuckle into the right side of the Grimm Driver. BERINGEL TEARING! She held out her right glove and banana appeared. Grimm threw it at the Phantom, the banana bounced along the ground and stopped at the Adze Phantom’s boots. The Phantom looked like it was about to start laughing before the banana exploded, sending it flying through the air as a screaming ball of fire.

Weapon had recovered from the back hand by this time and removed the Dust Knuckle from the Weapon Driver. She switched the Crescent Rose Whistle for a new Whistle that was white with the top of it being in the shape of a pistol and a katana. G-A-M-B-O-L S-H-R-O-U-D! She slammed the right side of the Dust Knuckle into her left palm. R-E-A-D-Y! Then she 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 in front of her and moved back, slamming into her and transforming the red scythe and black sniper rifle into a black pistol and katana. Weapon pressed down on the Gambol Shroud Whistle twice before slamming the right side of the Dust Knuckle into the left side of the Weapon Driver. N-I-N-J-A G-U-N! She held out her right glove and a black pistol appeared.

“Targeted,” Weapon pressed down on the Fire Dust Whistle once before slamming the right side of the Dust Knuckle into the left side of the Weapon Driver. F-I-R-E D-U-S-T C-H-A-R-G-E! She took aim as red energy gathered around the barrel of the Ninja Gun before she pulled the trigger. Firing a red bullet that shot through the air and tore through the Adze Phantom’s chest, ripping through its back. Sparks exploded from the entrance and exit points as the Phantom stumbled back in pain.

The Phantom snarled as it blurred towards Kamen Rider Weapon. She saw it coming and pressed down on the Gambol Shroud Whistle twice before pressing the right side of the Dust Knuckle into the left side of the Weapon Driver. S-H-A-D-O-W K-A-T-A-N-A! She held out her right glove and the Ninja Gun unfolded into a katana called the Shadow Katana. As the Adze Phantom got closer, Weapon pressed the Fire Dust Whistle twice before smashing the right side of the Dust Knuckle into the left side of the Weapon Driver. F-I-R-E D-U-S-T P-O-W-E-R-E-D! She lit the Shadow Katana on fire and slashed downwards, only or the Adze Phantom to weave around the sword and kick her with enough force to send her flying backwards.

Grimm had recovered by this time and removed the Aura Knuckle from the Grimm Driver. She switched the Rose Speed Whistle for the Dragon Rage Whistle. D-R-A-G-O-N R-A-G-E! Then she pressed the left side of the Aura Knuckle into her right palm. R-E-A-D-Y! She locked the Aura Knuckle back into the right side of the Grimm Driver. F-I-S-T O-N! The hologram appeared in front of her and moved back, transforming the Rose petals on her chest plate into a golden dragon with red eyes. The cross on her faceplate opened, revealing her red circle shaped visors. She pressed down on the Dragon Rage Whistle once before ramming the left side of the Aura Knuckle, back into the right side of the Grimm Driver. DRAGON RAGE ATTACK! Flames covered the right Gorilla Gauntlet as she raced towards the Adze Phantom. She threw a punch, but the Phantom leaned back and then snap kicked her up into the air.

She recovered while in the air and pressed down on the Dragon Rage Whistle twice. DRAGON RAGE BATTLE! She reached behind her backplate and pulled out a banana bomb which was then hurled at the Phantom. “This agan?!” shouted the Phantom as he dodged out of the way. Only for the banana to explode into a golden dragon construct that had red eyes. It wrapped around the Phantom and constructed it while slamming it into the ground, hard.

Weapon had fully recovered by this time and removed the Dust Knuckle from the left side of the Weapon Driver, before switching the Fire Dust Whistle for the Earth Dust Whistle. E-A-R-T-H D-U-S-T! Then she slammed right side of the Dust Knuckle into her left palm. R-E-A-D-Y! Weapon locked the Dust Knuckle back onto 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 back into her. Transforming the fiery background on her chest plate into an orange earth background. 

The Adze Phantom vibrated out of the dragon’s coils, destroying it as Weapon pressed down on the Earth Dust Whistle once. Then she slammed the right side of the Dust Knuckle into the left side of the Grimm Driver. E-A-R-T-H D-U-S-T C-H-A-R-G-E! She drew the Ninja Gun before taking aim at the Phantom. 

It saw this and dashed towards her. Weapon pulled the trigger and a clone made of rock appeared in front of her. The Adze Phantom had no time to stop as it smashed into the clone. A dust cloud erupted in the area ss the Phantom dashed out of it and slammed its fist into Weapon, sending her staggering backwards from the force of the blow.

Weapon quickly pressed down on the Earth Dust Whistle twice before smashing the right side of the Dust Knuckle into the left side of the Weapon Driver. E-A-R-T-H D-U-S-T P-O-W-E-R-E-D! The Ninja Gun transformed into the Shadow Katana and Weapon swung it down, slamming up a dust cloud as the blade hit the ground.

“Hoping to by some recovery time? Like hell I’m going to let that happen!” shouted the Adze Phantom as it blitzed into the dust cloud.

“Request acknowledged,” stated Kamen Rider Grimm. She removed the Aura Knuckle from the right side of the Grimm Driver. Then she switched the Beringel Whistle for the Boarbatusk Whistle. B-O-A-R-B-A-T-U-S-K! Then she pressed the left side of the Aura Knuckle into her right palm. R-E-A-D-Y! She slotted it into the right side of the Grimm Driver. F-I-S-T O-N! The holographic suit of armour appeared and slammed into her. The Beringel image on her chest plate transformed into a black boar with red eyes and white bone like armour that had red tribal images on them. 

Then she pressed down on the Boarbatusk Whistle once before ramming 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! Black dust appeared around her gloves and formed into a black staff with a pair of boar tusks at each end. This is the Boar Tusk. Grimm slammed down on the Dragon Rage Whistle once and then slammed the left side of the Aura Knuckle into the right side of the Grimm Driver. DRAGON RAGE ATTACK! Grimm lit the Board Tusk on fire and dashed towards the Adze Phantom. Only for it to blur around her and slash at her from each and every angle at once.

Sparks exploded off her armour as she pressed down on the Boarbatusk Whistle twice before smashing the left side of the Aura Knuckle back into the right side of the Grimm Driver. B-O-A-R-B-A-T-U-S-K T-E-A-R-I-N-G! She curled into a ball and her back armour expanded and wrapped around her, forming into a white ball called the Rolling Shell. “You think that curling into a ball will protect you?!” shouted the Phantom as it continued to slash at Kamen Rider Grimm. DRAGON RAGE BATTLE! Only for her to burst into flames and start spinning. She roared towards the Adze Phantom and it was too close to do anything. The Phantom was crushed flat.

Grimm stopped and uncurled from her ball form. Only for the Adze Phantom to come dashing out of the place where it had been crushed, on fire and roaring towards Kamen Rider Grimm.

“Grimm! Look out!” shouted Sunset in warning. 

She was too late.

The Phantom smashed into Kamen Rider Grimm, sending her flying through the air. “Sparks exploded from her body before she went up in an explosion, separating into her two component people that fell to the ground knocked out.

“I don’t think she’ll be getting back up from that again!” laughed the Adze Phantom as it zoomed towards Kamen Rider Weapon.

In the next several seconds the Phantom beat down Kamen Rider Weapon badly before it dropped out of its burning state, for lack of a better word.

Weapon removed the Dust Knuckle from the left side of the Weapon Driver. Then she switched Gambol Shroud Whistle for Ember Celica Whistle. E-M-B-E-R C-E-L-I-C-A! She slammed the right side of the Dust Knuckle into her left palm. R-E-A-D-Y! Then she docked the right side of the Dust Knuckle with the left side of the Weapon Driver. F-I-S-T O-N! The holographic suit of armour appeared and slammed into her, transforming the gun and katana on her chest plate into a yellow gauntlet and a yellow shotgun.

Then Weapon pressed down on the Ember Celicia Whistle once before slamming the right side of the Dust Knuckle into the left side of the Weapon Driver. G-A-U-N-T-L-E-T-S! In a flash of yellow light the Ember Celica Gauntlets appeared on her wrists and undloded into their close combat mode.

“I’ve just notice, but why is her Driver saying different things for commands that I know I’ve heard before,” questioned Sunset.

There was a loud boom and Sunset’s eyes went wide as she saw that the Phantom had defeated Kamen Rider Weapon. “How dare you!” she snarled out as she tried to get back up but she was still too hurt to do so.

“You are still to weak!” laughed the Phantom. “What on earth can you do to me?”

“Your point?!” demanded Sunset.

“How on earth can you hope to fight me?!” cackled the Phantom.

Sunset was about to shout at him, when a hand forced her back down. She looked and saw Mega walking past her.

“We will buy you some time,” she explained.

“We?” demanded Sunset.

“We,” stated a voice.

Sunset glanced over her shoulder and saw X walking forwards. “Good luck,” replied Sunset.

“You two could not defeat me while I was controlling him!” the Phantom pointed at Dante. “How can you hope to beat me in the body that I have known for all of my life?!” shouted the Phantom.

“States show that two on one is better odds,” explained the Kamen Rider Mega.

“Engaging target,” whereas Kamen Rider X ignored the Phantom’s question completely.

“Ok,” Adze Phantom twitched. “Let’s see how those state’s hold up,” he charged towards them.

Mega took out the Super Arm Whistle and slammed it into the Mega Driver’s mouth before pressing down on it. SUPER ARM! Her left arm transformed, bludging and growing bigger as Mega punched into the ground and pulled up a square shaped rock that she threw at the Adze Phantom.

“Is that all?!” the Phantom dodged around the rock with the uttermost ease.

“Adapting,” Mega placed the Super Arm in the Mega Driver’s mouth. SUPER ARM BITE! Red energy flowed into the Super Arm as Mega punched the ground and pulled up another rock which she hurled at the Phantom.

“He same tactic!” shouted the Phantom as he dodged the rock.

Which shattered.

“Argh!” sharp bits of rock smashed into the Phantom making sparks explode from its body as it tripped and bounced along the ground like a pebble on the surface of a pond.

X pulled out a new Whistle. It was white while the head was in the shape of a rock. She slotted it into the X Driver’s mouth and pressed down on it. EARTH TUNE! X was quickly surrounded by a sphere of earth that hid her transformation. It quickly dispelled to reveal her new form.

Her helmet had turned dark red and now had a white faceplate. Her eyes were covered by a pair of circle shaped dark red visors. Coming from the top of her helmet was a ponytail of dark green hair that reached down to her ankles. Her forehead was further protected by a golden V shaped tiara with a red gem in the centre of it. She wore a white bodysuit with black arms and legs. Around her neck was a dark red choker and coming off her shoulders was a short dark red cape. She wore a pair of white elbow length gloves that had a pair of dark red rings around the top of them. Dark red boots knee high boots protected her shins and feet. She wore a white chestplate with a dark red gem in the centre and four dark blue lines coming off the gem to the four corners of the chest plate. She wore dark blue shoulder pauldrons, elbow armour, upper arm guards. Dark blue forearm guards circled her forearms. She wore a dark red ankle length skirt, to finish the look it had a small dark red bow on the back of it.

She was now Kamen Rider X, Earth Tune.

She dodged a slash from the Adze Phantom and drew a new Whistle. It was dark red and the head of it looked like a pair of stag beetle horns. She loaded it into the X Driver and pressed down on it. BOOMERANG CUTTER! She threw her right glove forwards and in a flash of light, the earth formed into a pair of stag beetle horns. They were razor shape on the inside and shot forwards. The Adze Phantom had no time to move and was pinned to a wall.

Mega drew the Light Tune Whistle and placed it into the Mega Driver before slamming her fist down on top of it. LIGHT TUNE! She was surrounded by a sphere of light as she transformed back into the Light Tune. Mega then took out another whistle, the head of which was an arrow and the Whistle was coloured orange. She inserted it into the Mega Driver and pressed down on it. ICE SLASH! She threw her left glove forwards and fired an arrow shaped blast of light that shot through the air and slammed into the Phantom’s chest. Sparks exploded from the impact point as the Phantom shouted in pain.

“How is this possible?!” shouted the Adze Phantom. “I should be winning!”

“You are not as strong as you believe you are,” stated Mega.

“Let us finish the mission,” shouted X.

“Agreed,” stated X.

“Huh, they might actually do this,” muttered Sunset.

Mega and X both placed their left gloves in their Driver’s mouths. ICE SLASH / BOOMERANG CUTTER BITE! X threw out both of her gloves and eight Boomerang Cutters appeared around her. Mega pulled back her left fist and punched forward, firing three arrows of light that sho forwards and spiralled around the Boomerang Cutters as X fired them forwards.

“I will not lose like this!” screamed the Adze Phantom as it turned back into its burning mode. It pulled itself free and charged towards the two Kamen Riders.

“Or maybe they don’t have this,” muttered Sunset as she watched this.

X saw this coming and switched the Earth Tune Whistle for the Wind Tune Whistle. She slotted it into the X Driver and then pressed down on the Driver. WIND TUNE! Blue wind covered her body before dispelling as she transformed into her Wind Tune. Then she drew a new Whistle. It was blue and the head looked like a chameleon. She slotted it into the X Driver and pressed down twice. CHAMELEON STING BITE! She grabbed onto Mega as they both glowed blue. The Adze Phantom dashed at them and passed straight through them. 

“Huh?” gapped Sunset.

“WHAT!” screamed the Phantom. It turned around and slashed at them several times over but was unable to harm the two Kamen Riders. “That it is!” the Phantom raced back to get some distance and then raced forward, transforming into a bolt of red and black magical energy as it bolted through the air. It passed straight through Mega and X, smashing into a building and bringing it down on top of itself.

“That was funny,” admitted Sunset as she saw this.

Seeing that the Phantom’s burning mode had run out, Mega drew a new Whistle. It was white and the head off it was in the shape of bubbles. She slotted it into the Mega Driver’s mouth and pressed down on it. LIQUID TUNE! Kamen Rider Mega was surrounded by bubbles as she transformed into her new form.

After a few seconds, the bubbles dispelled and her new form was revealed. Mega’s helmet had turned light blue and coming from the top of it was light blue hair that reached to the bottom of the helmet. She had a white faceplate with a pair of light blue circle shaped visors. Her forehead was protected by a golden V shaped tiara with a blue gem in the centre of it. She wore a white bodysuit with black arms and legs. Blue knee high boots covered her feet and shins. White elbow length gloves covered her lowe arms and hands, they had a pair of dark blue rings around the top of the. Around her neck was a dark blue choker and hanging off her shoulder was a short dark blue cape. Mega wore a white chest plate with a light blue gem in the centre of it and four dark blue lines coming off it to the four corners of the chest plate, this was the only armour she wore. Her look was completed by a dark blue knee length skirt.

She was now Kamen Rider Mega, Liquid Tune.

Then Mega pulled out a new Whistle. It was dark blue and the top of it was in the shape of a bomb. She loaded it into the Mega Driver and pressed down on the Driver. HYPER BOMB! An orb of water appeared in her right glove, she threw it into the air and it landed on the building that the Adze Phantom was buried under. The bomb exploded.

“You do realize that you just dug the Phantom out, right?!” shouted Sunset.

“Statement of blind panic: Oops!” droned on Mega.

“Solution: Bombard the hell out of the Adze Phantom before it can get back up,” ordered X.

“YOU HAVE GOT TO BE KIDDING ME!” shouted Sunset in anger.

Mega slammed her glove into the Mega Driver’s mouth. HYPER BOMB BITING! Dark blue energy was infused into her right glove as she generated a ring of small water orbs. Mega threw them into the air and they landed around what was left of the building before exploding. The whole thing collapsed inwards and into the ground.

“How did that happen?” shouted Sunset.

“Oberveration: There is a subway tunnel under this building,” stated Mega.

“Question: “Do you think it is dead?” asked X.

Sunset sweatdropped.

“YOU!” like a movie monster, the Adze Phantom burst out of the rubble and through the hole in the street.

“Answer: That is a negative,” replied Mega.

“YOU THINK?” shouted Sunset.

Mega switched the Hyper Bomb Whistle for the Light Tune Whistle. Then she pressed down on the Mega Driver. LIGHT TUNE! A sphere of orange light appeared around her as she transformed back into the light tune. Then she inserted the Rolling Cutter Whistle into the Mega Driver. ROLLING CUTTER! She threw her right glove forwards and in a flash of orange light a giant pair of orange scissor was shooting towards the Adze Phantom.

“You think I’m going to fall for that again?!” shouted the Phantom.

Mega held her left glove into the Mega Driver’s mouth. ROLLING CUTTER BITE! Orange energy was funnelled into her glove as she threw it forwards. The Rolling Cutter suddenly cloned, now there was five of them.

“WHAT?!” shouted the Adze Phantom as the attack slammed into it. Sparks exploded from its body as it fell to the ground in pain.

“Question: Was that enough to finish it?” questioned Mega.

“Statement: What do you think, dummy?” demanded X as she pointed at the Adze Phantom.

That was getting back up.

“You have got to be kidding me!” shouted Sunset. “What does it take to kill this thing?!” she shouted in anger.

“More than any of you have,” shouted the Phantom as it lunged at the two Kamen Riders.

Mega switched the Rolling Cutter Whistle for the Ice Slash Whistle and held her right glove into the Mega Driver’s mouth. ICE SLASH BITE! Orange light was channelled into her right glove as she pulled it back and punched the ground, firing an arrow of light along the floor that threw the Adze Phantom high up into the air.

X inserted the Silent Tune Whistle into the X Driver and pressed down on it. SILENT TUNE! She was surrounded by soundwaves as her body transformed into the Silent Tune. X pulled out the next Whistle. It was purple and the head looked like a tornado, she inserted it into the X Driver’s mouth and pressed down on it. STORM TORNADO! She held up her right glove and braced it with her left glove as she fired a tornado. It slammed into the Adze Phantom and made sparks explode from the Phantom as it was hit and cut into several times by the tornado.

“DAMN YOU!” screamed the Phantom as it broke free, landed back on the ground and charged at the Kamen Riders.

“Command: Get close to me!” shouted Mega she held her left glove into the X Driver’s mouth. STORM TORNADO BITE! 

“Response: All right,” Mega got behind X.

Purple energy was funnelled into X’s left glove as she held up her right glove, both of them were surrounded by a massive tornado that the Phantom crashed into.

“I will not fall hear!” screamed the Phantom as it was pushed back by the howling wind. 

Then it burst into flames.

“Shit!” shouted Sunset as the Phantom roared forward and slammed into Mega and X. They were sent flying back with sparks coming from their bodies before they exploded as their transformations ended.

Sunset transformed back into Symbol. TOUCH TO ADVANCE YOUR CLASS! ADVANCE PLEASE! Symbol saw that the Advance Timer had reached the purple section, so she hit its thumb. ERROR!

“You are finally all out of tricks,” panted and snarled the Adze Phantom as it made its way towards the Kamen Rider.

“Not quite,” replied Symbol as the Advance Timer’s third clock hand ticked onto the yellow section. She hit the thumb. ADVANCE COMBINATION TIME! To the Phantom’s horror Symbol rose into the air, as did the Advance Style Energy Clones. Their magic circles appeared behind them as the Advance Style Energy Clones broke down into pure magical energy hat was pulled inside Symbol. Her body flashed red, blue, green and purple in sequence before the energy wrapping around her turned yellow. In a flash of bright light she transformed into the Full Advance Style.

“Die!” screamed the Phantom as it dashed at Symbol, who pressed her Wizard Driver’s left Shift Lever once. TOUCH TO CAST THE NEXT LEVEL! Then she scanned her left glove across her Wizard Driver’s Hand Author. FULL ADVANCE C TIER SPELL! Both of her gloves were wrapped in yellow light as her arms blurred, blocking each punch, slash and swing that the Phantom threw at her. Symbol saw her opening and punched the Phantom in the gut sending it staggering backwards.

“Final,” stated Symbol as the Phantom clutched its gut in pain. She hit her Wizard Driver’s left Shift Lever four times. TOUCH TO CAST THE NEXT LEVEL! VERY NICE! Then she swiped her left glove across her Wizard Driver’s Hand Author as the emitters on her body lit up. FULL ADVANCE S TIER SPELL! THE BEST! Symbol jumped into the air, flipped once and came down with a double flying kick. The magical energy transformed into the Advance Style Energy clones, each of them in a flying kick alongside their creator, creating a trail of their magical energy. The clones shot forwards, each of them slammed into the Phantom, release a burst of energy as they transformed into their magical energy. The Phantom tried to move but the large circle trapped it as Symbol smashed into the Phantom. “Full Advance Impact!” shouted Symbol as her body broke down into energy. She appeared behind the Phantom as sparks exploded from its body before the Phantom fell over and exploded.

Symbol released her transformation and became Sunset again as she dashed towards Dante.
> S2E3 The Phantom's Tower
> --------------------------------------------------------------------------

“Hey! Wake up!” Dante slowly came awake. His vision cleared and he saw a face that he never thought he’d see again.

His sister, Sunset Shimmer Sparda.

Sunset looked relieved. “You're ok,” she stated in relief. 

Suddenly, Dante surged forwards and wrapped his arms around his little big sister.

“Dante? What are you-?” asked a startled Sunset.

“I am so, so sorry,” apologised Dante.

“It’s ok,” replied Sunset.

“But-!” protested Dante.

Sunset cut him off. “Dante, how long has it been since we last saw each other.”

Dante frowned. “Just under ten years. But what does that have to do with-?”

“During which you thought I was dead?” asked 	Sunset.

“Yes?” it was more of a question.

“Then I cannot blame you for thinking that I was an imposter. Especially since I was with ten Gem Maidens.”

Dante looked like he was about to say something else. 

Sunset cut him off again. “Also, how long did it take you to figure out it was me?”

Dante looked down. “About two minutes.”

“If that Phantom had not taken you over, then would you have stopped?” asked Sunset.

Dante nodded.

“Then there is nothing to blame you for,” added Sunset.

“But,” continued Dante.

“The Dante I know accepts blame where it is due and would know that he is not to blame for this,” Sunset cut him off again. “Now close your eyes, shake your head and come to your senses.”

Dante stared at her.

“I SAID CLOSE YOUR EYES, SHAKE YOUR HEAD AND COME TO YOUR SENSES!” Sunset roared at her Brother.

Dante quickly did so and when he opened his eyes, he felt much better than before. “Thanks sis, I needed that,” he thanked.

“Damn right you did,” replied Sunset.

Dante stared at her. “Since when did you swear?!” he demanded. “Come to think of it, why are there Gem Maidens taking orders from you. What happened to you?!”

Sunset sighed. “When I was sucked into that portal, I was sent into another dimension. One that moves faster than this one. While its been ten years for you, to me its been less than a day. There I met Mom-”

“MOM?!” demanded Dante.

“It was a construct that housed her mind,” explained Sunset. “She was being attacked by a Phantom that was these four,” she pointed to Lightning Dust, Gilda, Lyra and Bon Bon. “In disguise. They had escaped from the Gem Maidens before, becoming Kamen Riders in the process. They were recaptured and transformed back into Gem Maidens before being sent to toture Mom. When I freed them they bound themselves to me.”

“Why would they do that?!” demanded Dante in shock.

“I have no idea,” replied Sunsetbluntly. “On the way out we were attacked by another Phantom that was really these six,” she pointed at Rainbow Dash, Applejack, Twilight Sparkle, Fluttershy, Pinkie Pie and Rarity. “Their story is the same as the other four.”

Dante glanced at his sister. “If anyone but you had said that, then I’d tell them to get their head checked,” he admitted.

“I wouldn’t blame you,” replied Sunset.

Suddenly, the ground started to shake.

“What now?!” shouted Sunset.

A short distance away, the ground cracked and fissured as a giant tower rose out of it. The tower spun for several seconds like a giant drill bit before grinding to a halt. It looked like it was Roman in origin and had several pathways on the outside of it while the top of it had four large points that hovered a short distance away. 

“That’s something you don’t see everyday,” commented Dante.

“No kidding,” replied Sunset. Then she saw something at the top of the tower. She squinted and saw: “Vergil?” she questioned out loud.

“It’s been nearly a year since we last met,” commented Dante.

Sunset glanced at her Brother and saw him staring at his twin.

“Where does the time go?” questioned Dante.

All of a sudden, the Vanguard Phantom got back up and leapt away.

“I thought that thing was dead!” shouted Sunset.

“So did I” replied Dante. “Let’s move!”

“Come on you lot!” Sunset shouted to the Gem Maidens.

“Yes Sir,” replied Rainbow Dash, Applejack, Twilight Sparkle, Fluttershy, Pinkie Pie and Rarity.

“Alright, my master,” added Lightning Dust, Gilda, Lyra and Bon Bon.

“They call you Sir?” asked Dante in amusement.

“Shut up,” muttered Sunset with a red face.


Atop the tower


Vergil stood, gazing down at the abandoned world with the Yamato Katana planted into the ground. 

The man who had summoned the Phantom’s into Dante’s shop approached Vergil from behind.

Vergil turned his head slightly. “Arkham,” he greeted.

“Well? Doesn’t it excite you?” asked the now named Arkham. “The Tem-ni-gru has revived. The great one who once ruled this earth as the medium between the human world and Phantom world,” Now he was beside Vergil. “Isn’t it a magnificent view. The greatest minds of their time, those who revered evil. Constructed this glorious edifice. Now after two millenniums of confinement. It can at least fulfil the purpose for which it was intended.”

“That none of my concern.” Vergil interrupted before Arkham could get any more insane sounding. “Did he have it?”

“Of course,” replied Arkham not even needing to ask what Vergil was talking about. “He’s taking good care of it. After all, it is the only memento left from the mother you both lost.” 

Vergil reached down and looked at his own amulet that was sky blue as opposed to Dante’s blood red one. “But he has no idea of what it really is or of its true power,” stated the third Kamen Rider. 

The Vanguard Phantom appeared and shrieked at him. 

Vergil walked away with the Phantom following before it froze when he drew Yamato Katana. He placed the blade back in the sheath and the Phantom shattered. “This would be so much easier if Sunset was still alive,” muttered Vergil. “All three amulets are needed to create the Perfect Amulet. We can only hope that the tower will not reject this facsimile,” he held up an amulet that looked similar to the yellow one that was around Sunset’s neck.

“That might not be a problem much longer,” stated Arkham.

Vergil turned to him sharply. “Just what do you mean by that?” he asked.

“I wouldn’t want to ruin the surprise,” replied Arkham as he continued to read his book.


Street Level


Outside of a cinema, a portal burst open. It was made of glowing red and black energy that twisted and spiralled as a vortex. 

There was a loud engine roar as a motorbike burst out of it before the portal snapped closed with a gunshot sound.

The bike was red and had silver tailpipes, silver handlebars and black wheels with silver insides. The silver engine was exposed on the side and had clearly been heavily modified as it was much bigger, too big to fit inside the bike.

On the bike was a female human. She had dark chin length hair on both sides of her face and a fringe that reached to her eyebrows. She had many scars over her body, the most prominent being the one across her nose. She wore a necklace with a red gem on it. Her left eye was red while her right eye was a bluish green. She wore a schoolgirl outfit. It was comprised of a short white blouse that left her midriff bare and sleeves that reached just past her elbows. The outfits skirt was made of protective plating instead of the usual fabric, underneath it was dark black and purple shorts, she wore a utility belt that held gun magazines. Connected to the belt was a harness, she wore dark brown gloves and orange-brown knee high boots with black socks underneath them. She wore a second belt, just above her utility belt, it was silver with a rectangle shaped hole in the front of it that had a pair of red vertical lines highlighting it.

“I finally found it,” muttered the Girl. 

Phantom’s approached her from behind.

She pulled out a silver flip shut phone and typed in a code. FIVE! SEVEN! TWO! The dial tone played for a second. JET BIKE! FULL POWER! Her bike roared to life as she gunned the throttle and shot away from the Phantoms. The exhausts spewed out flames that set the Phantoms on fire.

“So what the hell is going on between you and Vergil?” demanded Sunset as she and Dante turned onto the street that the lady had just left. 

“What do you mean?” asked Dante.

“I could sense the hostility between the two of you the second you lock eyes with him,” deadpanned Sunset. “Now spill!”

“It sounds stupid, saying it out loud,” muttered Dante. “But we kind of blamed each other for your so called death,” he muttered.

Sunset stopped and stared at her Brother. “That is by far the dumbest thing that has even come out of your mouth.”

“I think I already knew that but was too stubborn to admit it,” replied Dante.

At that moment the Phantoms approved.

“We’ll talk about this later,” warned Sunset.

“Why do I get the feeling that I’m not going to be hearing the end of this for a long time?” questioned Dante.

“Because you're absolutely right,” replied Sunset.

Dante held his Driver on Ring in front of his belt buckle. DRIVER ON! The magic circle appeared and transformed his belt buckle into his Driver.

Sunset held her right hand down in front of her belt buckle. DRIVER ON PLEASE! The magic circle appeared and transformed her belt buckle into the Wizard Driver.

Gilda swiped her left hand from right to left as the Weapon Driver appeared on her waist. She drew the Crescent Rose Whistle and slotted it in. C-R-E-S-C-E-N-T R-O-S-E!

Lyra swiped her right hand from right to left as the Grimm Driver materialized on her waist. She pulled out the Beowulf Whistle and slammed it into the Grimm Driver. B-E-O-W-U-L-F!

Lightning Dust stepped up to Gilda’s left and let the Dust Knuckle materialize in her left hand. She slotted the Fire Dust Whistle into it. F-I-R-E D-U-S-T! 

Bon Bon walked up to Lyra’s right and allowed the Aura Knuckle to appear in her right hand. She slotted the Rose Speed Whistle into it. ROSE SPEED! 

Lightning Dust slammed the right side of the Dust Knuckle into her left palm while Bon Bon pressed the left side of the Aura Knuckle into her right palm. R-E-A-D-Y! Boomed both of the Knuckles.

Pinkie Pie let the Mega Driver appear on her waist and slotted the Fire Tune Whistle into it. FIRE TUNE! A pair of chains shot out of the Mega Driver, they stabbed into Rarity and Fluttershy’s chests. Neither girls made a sound as their bodies were broken down into quicksilver that traveled along the chains.

Applejack made the X Driver materialize on her waist and slotted the Wind Tune Whistle into it. WATER TUNE! Two chains shot out of the X Driver, they stabbed into Rainbow Dash’s and Twilight Sparkle’s chests. Neither girls showed any sign of pain as they were turned into quicksilver and pulled through the chains.

“HENSHIN!” shouted Dante and Sunset.

“Henshin,” droned the other girls.

Dante punched the Rebellion Ring into his Driver’s left slot and turned his wrist forwards. SET! OPEN! R-E-B-E-L-L-I-O-N! The Rebellion magic circle appeared from his Driver and moved back through him, transforming Dante into Kamen Rider Dante Rebellion Style. Then he slammed the Chamelio Swordmaster Ring into his Driver’s right slot. CHAMELIO He turned his wrist forwards. GO! Then he flung his right glove out to the side. S-S-S-SWORDMASTER! The Chamelio Swordmaster magic circle appeared and moved through him, transforming Dante’s right shoulder pauldron into the Chamelio Swordmaster Mantle.

Sunset pressed down on the Wizard Driver’s left Shift Lever and scanned her left hand across her Driver’s Hand Author. MAGICAL TOUCH HENSHIN! ACTIVE PLEASE! LET’S GO! She held her left hand out to the side, the Active magic circle appeared to her left and moved through her.

Lightning Dust connected the right side of the Dust Knuckle to the left side of the Weapon Driver. F-I-S-T O-N! The holographic suit of armour appeared and moved back, combing Gilda and Lightning Dust into Kamen Rider Weapon.

Bon Bon pressed the left side of the Aura Knuckle to the right side of the Grimm Driver. F-I-S-T O-N! The holographic suit of armour appeared in front of them, it moved back, combining Lyra and Bon Bon into Kamen Rider Grimm.

The quicksilver reached the end of the chains, transforming Fluttershy, Pinkie Pie and Rarity into Kamen Rider Mega.

The quicksilver slammed into Applejack, transforming Rainbow Dash, Applejack and Twilight Sparkle into Kamen Rider X.

MAGICAL TOUCH GO! ACTIVE! C RANK SPELL! Symbol covered her right glove in red lightning as she curled it into a fist and punched a Pride Phantom in the face. The Phantom staggered back as sparks come from its body.

MAGIC TOUCHIE HENSHIN! BOOST BIND PLEASE! Then she jumped into the air as she transformed into the Active Boost Bind Style. “Ha!” MAGIC TOUCHIE GO! BIND MAGIC PLEASE! She stomped on the ground and orange chains of energy burst out of the ground and wrapped around the Phantom.

Then Symbol pressed the Wizard Driver’s left Shift Lever four times before scanning her left glove across the Driver’s Hand Author. MAGICAL TOUCH GO! VERY NICE! ACTIVE! S RANK SPELL! THE BEST! Red energy gathered around the right Boost Grieve as Symbol spun around and kicked out, firing a red chain through the air. It shot forwards and slammed through the Phantom, digging a hole into its chest and causing it to explode.

Seeing a Wrath Phantom staggering towards her, Symbol switched the Active Ring for the Burst Ring and pressed down on her Wizard Driver’s left Shift Lever before scanning her left glove across the Driver’s Hand Author. MAGICAL TOUCH HENSHIN! BURST PLEASE! CAST THE SPELL! She held her left glove out to the side as the Burst magic circle appeared behind her and moved through her.

The Wrath Phantom was almost on her so Symbol pressed her Wizard Driver’s left Shift Lever twice then scanned her left glove across her Driver’s Hand Author. MAGICAL TOUCH GO! BURST! B RANK SPELL! Water in the air froze over, turning into four shurikens made of ice that shot forwards and cut through the bomb, causing it to explode.

“That was a bad idea!” shouted Symbol as she pressed down on her Wizard Driver’s left Shift Lever twice and swiped her left glove. MAGICAL TOUCH GO! BURST! A RANK SPELL! Symbol pressed her left palm to the ground and summoned a wall made of earth that stopped the blast from reaching her. Although the blast did still destroy a pair of Lust Phantoms.

Suddenly, an Enigma Phantom fired an arrow that slammed into Symbol’s chest plate. “Argh!” shouted the Kamen Rider as she staggered back in pain from the arrow. She added the Dust and Glass Rings to her right glove and hit her Wizard Driver’s right Shift Lever before aligning her right glove with her Driver’s Hand Author. MAGIC TOUCHIE HENSHIN! DUST GLASS PLEASE! The two magic circles appeared behind her and moved through her.

Symbol hit her Wizard Driver’s right Shift Lever twice and scanned her right glove as the Enigma Phantom charged up. MAGIC TOUCHIE GO! GLASS MAGIC PLEASE! Right before the Phantom was able to lose its arrow, a storm of glass appeared around it and a storm of sparks came off its body as the glass cut into it.

“Final!” growled out Symbol as she hit her Wizard Driver’s left Shift Lever four times before scanning her left glove across her Driver’s Hand Author. MAGICAL TOUCH GO! VERY NICE! BURST! S RANK SPELL! THE BEST! Purple magical energy surrounded her body. “Glass Flash!” the Phantom was blinded and destroyed by the explosion of bright light that surged off Symbol’s body.

Dante leapt towards a Pride Phantom as he punched the Rebellion Ring into the back of the Rebellion Blade. THREE! REBELLION SABER STRIKE! Black energy covered the Rebellion Blade as Dante slashed the Pride Phantom three times. “HA! Yeah! Orha!” shouted Dante as he slashed the Phantom three times, breaking through its guard as if it was not there.

Then Dante punched the Rebellion Ring into the back of the Rebellion Blade a second time. SIX! REBELLION SABER STRIKE! Dante pulled the sword back as he pressed down on its trigger. REBELLION SABER STRIKE! Green magic energy formed around the Rebellion Blade and formed into six Chameleons that surrounded the sword as Dante unleashed several thousand stabs in the next five seconds. Sparks exploded from the Pride Phantom as it was stabbed by both the sword and the chameleon’s tongues. Then the Phantom fell over and went up in an explosion.

Dante panted for a second as he switched the Chameleon Swordmaster Ring for the Flaco Trickster Ring and slammed it into his Driver’s right slot. FALCO! Dante turned his wrist forwards. GO! He threw his right glove out to the side. T-T-T-TRICKSTER! The Falco Trickster magic circle appeared to his right and moved through him. It transformed the Chameleon Swordmaster Mantle into the Falco Trickster Mantle.

Dante slammed the Falco Trickster Ring into his Driver’s right port as a Wrath Phantom stumbled towards him. ONE! The Falco Wings appeared out of his backplate and he gave them a mighty flap. FALCO TRICK! Shooting the Wrath Phantom into the air.

Dante drew Ebony and Ivory before holding down both of their triggers. EBONY AND IVORY STRIKE! Orange energy gathered around both of the hand cannons before Dante released the triggers. EBONY AND IVORY STRIKE! He fired a barrage of orange feathers at the Wrath Phantom. Sparks exploded off its body before the Phantom fell down to the floor and exploded, destroying a pair of Lust Phantoms.

Seeing yet another Wrath Phantom staggering towards him, Dante switched the Falco Trickster Ring into his Driver’s right slot. BUFFA! He turned his wrist forwards. GO! Then he flung his right glove out to the side. R-R-R-ROYALGUARD! The Buffa Royalguard magic circle appeared and moved through Dante, transforming the Falco Trickster Mantle into the Buffa Royalguard Mantle. Then Dante slammed his right glove into his Driver’s right slot again. TWO! Dante threw a right hook that summoned a wall of energy. BUFFA GUARD! The Wrath Phantom’s orb flash red and exploded, but Dante’s energy wall blocked it.

“System update!” Grimm slammed the left side of the Aura Knuckle into the right side of the Grimm Driver once. B-E-O-W-U-L-F B-I-T-I-N-G! Black mist appeared around her gloves and formed into the Beo Claws. R-O-S-E S-P-E-E-D A-T-T-A-C-K! Grimm sprinted forwards with her body transforming into rose petals. She turned solid in front of a Lust Phantom and slashed it across the chest plate several times. Suddenly, her body released a burst of rose petals as the cross on her faceplate opened, revealing her twin circle shaped blue visors.

Then Grimm slammed the left side of the Aura Knuckle into the right side of the Grimm Driver three times. B-E-O-W-U-L-F M-A-S-S-A-C-R-E! Grimm rocketed forwards as her body transformed into rose petals. She orbited the Lust Phantom at high speed, slashing it over and over with the Beo Claws. White cracks spread through the Phantom’s body until he went up in an explosion.

Then Grimm drew the White Glyph Whistle and placed it into the Grimm Driver. W-H-I-T-E G-L-Y-P-H! She removed the Aura Knuckle from the right side of the Grimm Driver and pressed the left side of it into her right palm. R-E-A-D-Y! Before she slammed the Aura Knuckle back into the Grimm Driver. F-I-S-T O-N! The holographic suit of armour appeared in front of her and slammed back into her. Transforming the rose petals on her chest plate into a white glyph. The cross on her faceplate closed back up, hiding her visors from sight. 

She slammed the left side of the Aura Knuckle into the right side of the Grimm Driver once. B-E-O-W-U-L-F B-I-T-I-N-G! The Beo Claws reappeared from black mist. W-H-I-T-E G-L-Y-P-H A-T-T-A-C-K! A Lust Phantom ran at Grimm, only for a glyph to appear in front of it. The Phantom had no way of stopping and smashed into the glyph at full speed, bouncing back off it. Grimm darted forwards and slashed the Lust Phantom several times at high speed with the Beo Claws. Sparks sprayed from the white wounds she cut into it.

Then Grimm slammed 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! Her legs transformed into Beowulf legs after being covered in black mist for several seconds. W-H-I-T-E G-L-Y-P-H B-A-T-T-L-E! The Lust Phantom got back up, only to find himself unable to move. He looked down and saw that a white glyph had appeared around each of his arms and legs, locking them in place. He had no time to do anything as Grimm blurred forwards and kicked him in the chest, he was sent shooting back through the air as his arms and legs were ripped off since they were held in place by the glyphs. It was a mercy that he exploded.

Then she drew a new Whistle. It was white with a bronze head that looked like a knight shield and sword. She removed the Aura Knuckle from the right side of the Grimm Driver and then removed the White Glyph Whistle before slotting in the new Whistle. A-U-R-A A-M-P-L-I-F-I-C-A-T-I-O-N! Grimm pressed the left side of the Aura Knuckle into her right palm. R-E-A-D-Y! Before smashing 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 appeared in front of her and slammed into her, transforming the white glyph on her chest plate into a golden aura.

She slammed the left side of the Aura Knuckle into the right side of the Grimm Driver as a Wrath Phantom came running towards her. B-E-O-W-U-L-F B-I-T-I-N-G! In a blast of black mist the Beo Claws appeared on her gloves. A-U-R-A A-M-P-L-I-F-I-C-A-T-I-O-N A-T-T-A-C-K! Golden aura danced around the Beoclaws as she darted forwards and smashed her left Beo Claw into the Wrath Phantom. Its bomb exploded but Grimm was already far beyond the blast area.

She quickly slammed the left side of the Aura Knuckle into the right side of the Grimm Driver twice more. B-E-O-W-U-L-F B-I-T-I-N-G! Her legs transformed into Beowulf legs after being covered by black mist. A-U-R-A A-M-P-L-I-F-I-C-A-T-I-O-N B-A-T-T-L-E! She covered both of her legs in golden aura as she darted forwards. She kicked the Phantom in the chest with enough force for it to go flying backwards and explode.

“Receiving system update,” reported Kamen Rider Weapon as she reached down and pressed the right side of the Dust Knuckle into the left side of the Weapon Driver. S-C-Y-T-H-E! There was a bright flash of light as the Crescent Scythe appeared in her left glove. F-I-R-E D-U-S-T C-H-A-R-G-E! It burst into flames as Kamen Rider Weapon dashed forwards and slashed the Lust Phantom she was fighting, leaving a glowing cut through the Phantom.

It moaned at her, rather creepily, as it slashed upwards, cutting a spray of sparks from her.

Weapon slammed the right side of the Dust Knuckle into the left side of the Weapon Driver. S-N-I-P-E-R! The Crescent Scythe vanished and was replaced by the Crescent Rifle in a flash of red light. F-I-R-E D-U-S-T P-O-W-E-R-E-D! She took aim and fired a bolt of blazing red fire that cut through the air and through the Lust Phantom’s chest. Sparks exploded from the wound as the Phantom staggered back and exploded.

PROTO SHIELD! Mega blocked an arrow from an Enigma Phantom with the Proto Shield. 

Then she inserted the Thunder Tune Whistle into the Mega Driver and pressed down. THUNDER TUNE! Mega was wrapped in green lightning, transforming her into Kamen Rider Mega Thunder Tune. Then she drew a new Whistle. It was green with the head of it being in the shape of a fireball. She slotted it into the Mega Driver and pressed down on it. FIRESTORM! The Enigma Phantom fired another red arrow, only for three green electric fireballs to appear around her, one of which blocked the shot.

Then Mega held her right glove into the Mega Driver’s mouth. FIRESTORM BITE! Green energy was infused into her right glove as she pulled it back and thrust her open palm forwards. The two fireballs combined into a single ball of electric fire that shot forwards, it slammed into the Enigma Phantom and exploded. The Phantom was sent shooting into the air as a screaming fireball before he exploded.

Suddenly, three Pride Phantoms burst out of the ground around Mega. She looked at each of them and switched the Firestorm Whistle for yet another new Whistle. It was green and the head of it was in the shape of a thunderbolt. She slotted it into the Mega Driver and pressed down. THUNDERBREAM! Green lightning covered her body and then she shot three beams of it out that pierced through the Pride Phantoms and caused them to explode.

Mega held her right glove into the Mega Driver’s mouth. THUNDERBEAM BITE! Green lightning raged around her body before burst out in three beams that swirled together and combined into a single beam that shot through the air and slammed into the first Phantom before splitting into a pair of beams that struck the other two Lust Phantoms. All three of them spasmed before exploding.

Mega jumped back as a Wrath Phantom burst out of the ground in front of her. While she was still in the air, Mega inserted the Light Tune Whistle into the Mega Driver and slammed down on it. LIGHT TUNE! She was wrapped in orange light, transforming into her Light Tune as she pulled out a new Whistl. It was orange with the head of it being in the shape of a buzzsaw. She slotted it into the Mega Driver and pressed down. METAL BLADE! Mega threw her left glove forwards and fired three buzzsaws that shot through the air and cut through the Wrath Phantom, causing it to explode.

Then Mega placed her right glove into the Mega Driver’s mouth. METAL BLADE BITE! Orange energy raced through her right glove and she threw it forwards, firing a single large buzzsaw that cut through an Enigma Phantom. Sparks bled from the orange cut that the blade left through the centre of the Phantom. Orange like shone from the cut before exploding outwards, destroying the Phantom.

SILENT TUNE! Purple light covered X’s body as she rolled away from a PRide Phantom’s scythe. The light transformed her into her silent Tune as she drew a new Whistle. Its head looked like a stream of fire while the rest of it was coloured purple. She slotted it into the Mega Driver and pressed down. FIREWAVE! Purple flames spiralled inwards around her gloves as she thrust them forwards, firing a stream of flame that slammed into the Pride Phantom, setting it on fire and driving the Phantom back.

Then X held her left glove into the X Driver’s mouth. FIREWAVE BITE! It bit down and sent purple energy along her arm as she pulled it back. Heat gathered inwards and transformed into a ball of purple flame. X threw the ball forwards, it soared through the air and slammed into the Pride Phantom. It exploded into an inferno of purple fire that turned the Pride Phantom to ash.

Then Mega inserted the Water Tune Whistle into the X Driver before hitting it. WATER TUNE! Green water covered her in a sphere. Green light shone from the sphere as it burst apart, transforming X into her Water Tune. Then X drew a new Whistle, it’s head looked like a crescent and the rest of it was coloured green. She slotted it into the X Driver and pressed down. SONIC SLICERS! X drew back her fist and punched a Warth Phantom. It was sent flying back with three glowing cuts through its body. Spark bled from the cuts before the Phantom exploded, removing three Pride Phantoms from the playing field.

Suddenly, sparks came from three parts of X’s armour as an Enigma Phantom blasted her with three blue arrows. She inserted her right glove into the X Driver which bit down. SONIC SLICERS BITE! Green energy travelled up her right glove and X punched forwards, firing six glowing green crescents into the air that soared up and arched down, smashing into the Phantom and cutting it into several pieces. The pieces then exploded as they turned to ash. “Mission complete!”

Suddenly, X saw a piece of rubble that was about to fall on top of Mega. She was about to do something about it, but Mega dodged out of the way.

“That was a bit close,” commented Symbol.

“Tell me about it,” replied Dante. “Let’s keep moving!” 

“How!?” demanded Symbol. “The road is blocked!” she pointed at what looked like half a house blocking the road.

“We have found an alternate route, my Master!” Weapon was holding open the door of a bar.

“Don’t call me that!” shouted Symbol as they ran through the door. The bar looked like your average run down bar with chairs scattered about. In one corner was a high class painting of two stuff oxen locking in horns, as if they were in a conflict to the death.

“Could this be a sign of two power’s in conflict?” questioned Symbol.

Dante destroyed the painting. 

“Hey!” shouted Symbol.

Then a barrier appeared.

Symbol, Weapon, Grimm, Mega and X got ready for the Phantoms to appear.

None did.

“What gives?” questioned Symbol.

“The red barrier means that we have to beat every Phantom in the area, the blur one means that we need to solve a puzzle,” explained Dante.

“You have got to be kidding me!” shouted Symbol.

“It is illogical for the Phantoms to do that,” spoke up Grimm.

“That’s because it was the owners of this world that set it up,” said Dante harshly. He was still uneasy around Grimm, knowing that she had been torturing his Mother for years while under Gem Maiden control.

Dante quickly found a wheel that he hit several times, breaking open the barrier. “That was easy, ooh! Shotgun!” Dante grabbed a pump action shotgun off the wall. “What?! I don’t have three servants to help me fight!” he defended himself out Symbol’s look.

She shrugged and ran through the door. “I’m not sure I should be here!” she spoke as she saw that this was clearly a strip club.

Before Dante could start teasing his Sister, there was a low moaning sound. “Oh no,” muttered Dante as his helmet snapped up. Standing on a balcony was another new Phantom. It was humanoid, had purple skin and was wrapped in white bandages. It held a tall jagged scythe.

This is a Sloth Phantom.

“Sunset! Be careful!” shouted Dante. “They can teleport!” he warned her.

“I can see that!” shouted Symbol as the Sloth Phantoms made some kind of moaning sound before they vanished.

Battle start

Symbol switched the Burst Ring for the Swift Ring and pressed her Wizard Driver’s left Shift Lever before scanning her left glove across her Driver’s Hand Author. MAGICAL TOUCH HENSHIN! SWIFT PLEASE! DASH AWAY! The Swift magic circle appeared over her helmet and fell down through her, transforming Symbol into the Swift Style. A Sloth Phantom appeared in front of Symbol as she pressed her Wizard Driver’s left Shift Lever twice before scanning her left glove over her Driver’s Hand Author. MAGICAL TOUCH GO! SWIFT! B RANK SPELL! Her body was covered in yellow energy as she zipped back, avoiding the Sloth Phantom’s scythe by a hair's breadth.

Then Symbol added the Arrow and Blade Rings to her right glove before pressing the Wizard Driver’s right Shift Lever and scanning her right glove across her Driver’s Hand Author. MAGIC TOUCHIE HENSHIN! ARROW BLADE PLEASE! Symbol held her right glove into the air as the two magic circles appeared over her helmet and fell down through her. She hit her Wizard Driver’s right Shift Lever twice and scanned her right glove as the Phantom started to speed up again. MAGIC TOUCHIE GO! BLADE MAGIC PLEASE! Symbol slashed down with the Buzz Bow, firing six red buzz saws that cut through the air. They slamming into the Sloth Phantom’s back and cut many sparks out of it.

Then Symbol pressed the Wizard Driver’s right Shift Lever once and swiped her right glove across her Driver’s Hand Author. MAGIC TOUCHIE GO! ARROW MAGIC PLEASE! She pulled back on the Buzz Bow and fired six blasts of wind that cut through the air. They slammed into the Sloth Phantoms back and cut a storm of sparks from the Phantom as they ground into it.

“Final,” Symbol pressed her Wizard Driver’s left Shift Lever four times then scanned her left glove across her Driver’s Hand Author. MAGICAL TOUCH GO! VERY NICE! SWIFT! S RANK SPELL! THE BEST! With gathered around the Buzz Bow as Symbol took aim at the injured Phantom. She fired a blast of wind from the Buzz Bow that shifted into an arrow, then she slashed upwards, shooting a buzzsaw wind construct. “Arrow Cutter!” shouted Symbol as the arrow slammed into the Sloth Phantom, cutting a whole from it, the Phantom was then cut in half by the buzzsaw. The two halves sparked several times before they both went up in a pair of massive explosions.

Suddenly, another Sloth Phantom teleported in front of Symbol and swiped its scythe upwards, swiping it across her chest armour, creating sparks from the damage as Symbol was sent sailing away, bouncing on the ground like a stone skipping on water. As she came to a halt, Symbol switched the Swift Ring for the Giga Ring, pressed down on the Wizard Driver’s left Shift Lever and scanned her left glove across her Driver’s Hand Author. MAGICAL TOUCH HENSHIN! GIGA PLEASE! BREAK THROUGH! The Giga magic circle appeared under her boots and rose up through her, transforming Symbol into the Giga Style.

The Sloth Phantom teleported a second time as Symbol hit the Wizard Driver’s left Shift Lever three times and scanned the Giga Ring. MAGICAL TOUCH SPELL! GIGA A RANK SPELL! Symbol was wrapped in green light as the Sloth Phantom appear behind her and swung its scythe down, only for the light to stop the blow from doing any damage.

Symbol grabbed the Sloth Phantom’s scythe with her right glove as she hit the Wizard Driver’s left Shift Lever twice and scanned the Giga Ring across her Driver’s Hand Author. MAGICAL TOUCH SPELL! GIGA C RANK SPELL! Green magic covered her left glove as she curled it into a fist and punched the Phantom, sending it shooting back through the air as sparks were created from the damage.

Symbol added the Bombardment and Quake Rings to her right glove before hitting her Wizard Driver’s right Shift Lever, then she scanned her right glove. MAGIC TOUCHIE HENSHIN! BOMBARDMENT QUAKE PLEASE! The two magic circles appeared under her boots and rose up through her. Once the transformation was finished, Symbol hit her Wizard Driver’s right Shift Lever twice. MAGIC TOUCHIC GO! QUAKE MAGIC PLEASE! Symbol fired an orange shell that shot through the air and slammed into the Sloth Phantom. It detonated, smashing the Phantom through a pillar that had once been used by people to dance.

MAGICAL TOUCH GO! VERY NICE! GIGA! S RANK SPELL! THE BEST! Symbol gathered green energy in the Impact Cannon before firing another shell that shot through the air and embedded itself in the Sloth Phantom. “Quake Burst!” the shell pulsed twice, causing the Phantom to explode outwards.

Dante switched the Rebellion Ring for the Osiris Ring and punched it into his Driver’s left slot. SET! OPEN! O-S-I-R-I-S! The Osiris magic circle appeared from his Driver and moved back through him. A Sloth Phantom teleported behind Dante as he punched the Osiris Ring into the back of the Osiris Scythe. ONE! SCYTHE STRIKE! Dante covered the Osiris Scythe in red energy as she spun around. The tips of the two scythe’s met and the Sloth Phantom was staggered. Dante used the Osiris Scythe’s handles to change its direction and slashed the Sloth Phantom three times.

Then Dante punched the Osiris Ring into the back of the Osiris Scythe again. SIX! SCYTHE STRIKE! He dashed forwards and slashed the Phantom once with the scythe before kicking it in the face. “Whao!” he jumped back.

Dante drew Ebony and Ivory before jumping into the air as he held down on their triggers. EBONY AND IVORY STRIKE! Dante pointed both of them down and let go off the triggers. “Falling Wrath!” Dante fired a rain of bullets that streaked down through the air like comets. Sparks flew from the Sloth Phantom as the bullets rained down on it before it exploded.

Dante landed on the ground, sparks flew from his backplate as another Sloth Phantom appeared behind him and slashed him across the backplate. Dante shouted in pain as he punched the Osiris Ring into the back of the Osiris Scythe. FOUR! SCYTHE STRIKE! He jumped into the air while spinning. “Blast off!” red wind came from the Osiris Scythe, dragging the Sloth Phantom into the air where Dante slashed it over and over.

While he was in the air, Dante switched the Osiris Ring for the Eryx Ring and punched it into his Driver’s left slot. SET! OPEN! E-R-Y-X! The Eryx magic circle appeared from his Driver and moved back through him. Then Dante punched the Eryx Ring into the back of the right Eryx Gauntlet. FIVE! FIST STRIKE! Red energy gathered around the left Eryx Gauntlet as Dante went shooting down. He slammed his fist into the Phantom, driving it into the ground with enough force to form a crater.

The Phantom started to get back up as Dante drew Coyote A. He pulled back the pump and slammed the Eryx Ring into the breach. PUMP IT! Dante pulled the pump, closing the breach before he slid the pump back. The breach was opened as Dante punched the Buffa Royalguard Ring into it. SHOOT IT! Dante slid the pump forwards and took aim. “Bang!” he fired a red buffalo construct that rammed the Sloth Phantom, throwing it up into the air. Cracks spread through the Phantom and sparks bleed from the cracks. The power built up until the Phantom could take no more and exploded.

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! Black mist appeared in front of her and transformed into the Boar Tusk. C-O-P-Y-C-A-T A-T-T-A-C-K! Rocks were pulled up from the ground and wrapped around the Boar Tusk as Grimm slammed it down on the ground, flat. Unleashing a shockwave of brown energy that threw a Sloth Phantom in the air, just as it came out of its teleport.

Then Grim slammed the left side of the Aura Knuckle into the right side of the Grimm Driver twice. B-O-A-R-B-A-T-U-S-K T-E-A-R-I-N-G! White armour expanded across her backplate as she curled into a ball. C[b]-O-P-Y-C-A-T B-A-T-T-L-E! Grimm burst into flames as she rolled forwards, smashing into the Sloth Phantom as it landed back on the ground, sending it flying.

Grimm got back up and removed the Aura Knuckle from the Grimm Driver, then she switched the Boarbatusk Whistle for the Beringel Whistle. B-E-R-I-N-G-E-L! Then Grimm swapped the Copycat Whistle for the Dragon Range Whistle. She slammed the left side of the Aura Knuckle into her right palm. R-E-A-D-Y! Before slotting 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 Grimm. Transforming the images on her chest plate into a Beringel and a golden Chinese Dragon with red eyes.

The Sloth Phantom started to get back up as Grimm slammed the left side of the Aura Knuckle into the right side of the Grimm Driver three times. B-E-R-I-N-G-E-L M-A-S-S-A-C-R-E! Golden fire erupted from her body and coiled around her right arm. Red eyes opened as the fire transformed into the shape of a Chinese Dragon. Grimm Shot forwards and rammed her fist into the Sloth Phantom, the dragon bit down, causing the Sloth Phantom to explode violently.

“That was cool,” Symbol was amazed.

“You’d think so,” scoffed Dante, reluctant to give a Gem Maiden credit for anything.

“What is that supposed to mean?!” demanded Symbol.

“Exactly what it sounds like!” shouted Dante.

The two of them started arguing.

“And that’s how it’s done!” stated Dante smugly as he folded his arms across his chest plate.

“Good for you, now let’s go!” shouted Symbol as they ran into the tower with Grimm, Weapon, Mega and X following them.

They found themselves in a long room that was covered in white ice. It had four burning touches around it and looked like a Roman coliseum.

At the other end was a giant statue of a dog that had three heads and was made of ice.

“Is that a Cerberus?” asked Symbol.

“Looks like it,” replied Dante as he tilted his helmet to the side.

“What do you want to bet that it's going to come to life and we’re going to have to fight it?” asked Symbol.

“That’s a suckers bet and you know it,” replied Dante.

“Just, please don’t rile it up,” begged Symbol.

“No promises,” replied Dante in a mischievous voice.

“God save me,” muttered Symbol.

They approached the statue and it started to shake, revealing a three headed dog, that was at least two stories tall and had armour made of ice covering it. There was a large ring around it that encircled all three heads. The middle head had red eyes, the right head had yellow eyes and the left head had blue eyes.

Suddenly, the Phantom roared firing several chunks of ice at the Kamen Riders.

MAGICAL TOUCH HENSHIN! ACTIVE PLEASE! LET’S GO! Symbol transformed back into the Active Style, she drew the Active Blade, pulled open its Hand Author and scanned her left glove across it. COME ON A SLASH SHAKE HANDS! ACTIVE! SLASH STRIKE! She covered the sword in red lightning and cut the chunk of ice that was heading towards them in half.

SET! OPEN! R-E-B-E-L-L-I-O-N! Dante transformed back into the Rebellion Royalguard Style.

“Leave now mortals!” roared the Cerberus Phantom. “The likes of you are forbidden in this land!” it lunged forwards but the chains stopped it for biting Dante’s head off. “You who are powerless, are not worthy to set foot here!” shouted the Phantom’s middle head.

“Wow, I’ve never seen a talking mutt before,” commented Dante mockingly.

Symbol facepalmed.

“You know,” Dante pointed at the Phantom. “In a dog show, you’d definitely take first place!”

Symbol facepalmed with both of her gloves.

“You, a mere human make a mockery of me?!” demanded the Phantom in anger.

By this time, Symbol was banging her faceplate on the wall.

The Phantom gave a loud roar and fired a beam of ice that Dante jumped over.

“Easy, fiddo!” placated Dante. “How about I take you for a walk?” he started clapping.

“Someone shut him up!” muttered Symbol.

“Come on puppy, lets go,” clapped Dante as if he was talking to a normal dog and not one that was a big as a house.

“You’ll regret this you worm!” shouted the Cerberus Phantom in sheer anger.

“It’s showtime-”

“Will you stop making that thing even more angry?!” shouted Symbol as she jumped on Dante.

Suddenly, the Cerberus Phantom started to glow and shrink?

“What?!” shouted Symbol.

“Huh?” questioned Dante.

When the light cleared, the Phantom was much smaller. It was humanoid and had a head with a pair of blue eyes. It was covered in white armour, the shoulder pauldrons looked like the heads of a dog. It had a third dog head sculpted into its chest plate.

“First time a Phantom has done that,” commented Dante.

“This is bad,” muttered Symbol.

“Why? It’s smaller now,” replied Dante.

“Before, hitting us would have been like a human hitting a fly. Now it’s much easier, not to mention the Phantom still has the same amount of power, but now it’s more focused,” explained Symbol.

“We can take him,” replied Dante.

“The female is correct and clearly the smarter of you,” replied Cerberus.

Let the battle being.

Symbol switched the Active Ring for the Advance Ring and pressed her Wizard Driver’s left Shift Lever before scanning her left glove across her Wizard 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 through her, transforming her into the Advance Style.

“Your going with that already?” asked Dante.

“If you want to fight a pissed off Phantom thats drawing power from this tower then fine by me, but I’m not taking any chances!” shouted Symbol. She raised her right glove into the air. “COME ADVANCE TIMER!” she roared out.

YES MY MISTRESS! Shouted the Crow Bit Phantom as he came streaking out of the air and slammed into her right forearm guard, transforming into the Advance Timer.

Symbol turned the dial and hit the thumb. ADVANCE TIME! SET UP! START! The Advance Timer’s first clock hand started ticking.

“Good point,” muttered Dante as he switched the Rebellion Ring for the Trigger Ring in its Devil Mode. TRIGGER! DEVIL GO! DE-DE-DE-DEVIL! He held his left glove out in front of himself as the Trigger magic circle appeared in front of him and moved back through him.

“Ha!” the Cerberus Phantom punched the ground and fired a line of crystals through it and towards Dante at high speed. He quickly punched the Trigger Ring into the Rebellion Magnum. ONE! DEVIL! MAGNUM STRIKE! Dante fired three blasts of energy that smashed through the crystals and shattered them into pieces.

Then the head on Cerberus’ chest glowed and shadows were cast over the area.

“Look out!” shouted Symbol as she looked up and saw several people sized icicles coming down towards her. She quickly pressed her Wizard Driver’s left Shift Lever three times. TOUCH TO CAST THE NEXT LEVEL! ADVANCE A TIER SPELL! Symbol crossed both her arms and the emitters on her shins released yellow magical energy that gathered into a circle shaped shield. The ice spikes smashed into it and shattered into pieces.

Only for Cerberus to throw both his claws towards the Kamen Rider. The shards of ice paused in the air, turned towards the Kamen Rider and shot at her for a second attack.

“Sunset! Look out!” shouted Dante as he punched the Trigger Ring into the back of the Rebellion Magnum. ONE! DEVIL! MAGNUM STRIKE! Red energy gathered around the Magnum’s barrel as Dante fired it into the ground. A pyramid shaped barrier formed around Symbol, blocking the attack.

“Thanks, DANTE LOOKED OUT!” Symbol hit the Advance Timer’s thumb inwards. BREAKER ADVANCE! The Breaker magic circle appeared behind Dante and the Breaker Advance Magic Clone jumped out of it. She hit her Wizard Driver’s left Shift Lever three times. TOUCH TO CAST THE NEXT LEVEL! ADVANCE BREAKER A TIER SPELL! The emitters on her shin guards summoned red magical energy that gathered around her right fist.

“What are you-” then Dante saw that several ice shards had not attacked Symbol, but were shooting towards him.

Advance Breaker punched the ground, the shockwave shattered the ice shards, breaking the spell.

“Thanks,” thanked Dante.

Suddenly, the dog head of Cerberus’ right shoulder glowed.

“Here comes another attack!” shouted Symbol.

“I’ll block it! You hit him!” shouted Dante to his sister and Advance Breaker.

“You sure?” asked Symbol.

“Yeah I’m sure!” shouted Dante.

Symbol saw the Advance Timer’s first clock hand reach the blue section as she hit its thumb inwards. BLOCKER ADVANCE! The Blocker magic circle appeared next to Dante and the Advance Blocker magic clone jumped through it.

The Cerberus Phantom thrust both of his hands forwards and fired a cube of ice across the ground towards the group.

Symbol hit her Wizard Driver’s left Shift Lever twice and then scanned her left glove across her Driver’s Hand Author. TOUCH TO CAST THE NEXT LEVEL! ADVANCE B TIER SPELL! The emitters on her shoulder pauldrons glowed as she jumped into the air, blurring over the ice block as it slid across the ground.

Advance Breaker hit her Wizard Driver’s left Shift Lever twice before scanning her left glove across her Wizard Driver’s Hand Author. TOUCH TO CAST THE NEXT LEVEL! ADVANCE BREAKER B TIER SPELL! The emitters on her shoulder pauldrons glowed as red magic energy gathered around her left glove. She threw an uppercut, pulling herself into the air and over the ice block.

“I will stop this!” announced Advance Blocker as she hit her Wizard Driver’s left Shift Lever then she scanned her left glove across her Driver’s Hand Author. TOUCH TO CAST THE NEXT LEVEL! ADVANCE BLOCKER C TIER SPELL! The emitters on her forearm guards hummed to life as she held up both of her gloves. At her command, blue magic energy formed into a square shaped shield that exploded when the ice block hit it.

The ice block came sliding through the smoke, badly cracked but still in one piece.

“What?!” shouted Advance Blocker.

“You did good,” commented Dante as he punched the Trigger Ring into the back of the Rebellion Magnum. THREE! DEVIL! MAGNUM STRIKE! He fired a blast of energy into the ground and a glowing circle appeared on the ground, just in front of the ice block. The second the block passed onto the circle, it exploded into a pillar of fire that sent the ice block flying upwards, smashing it into the ceiling where it shattered.

“Let’s go! Advance Breaker!” shouted Symbol as they raced towards the Cerberus Phantom.

“You got it!” shouted Advance Breaker as she joined her creator.

“Plus one more!” Symbol hit the Advance Timer’s thumb. BOUNDER ADVANCE! The Bounder magic circle appeared next to her and Advance Bounder ran through it.

“Back in action!” she hit her Wizard Driver’s left Shift Lever once then scanned her left glove across her Wizard Driver’s Hand Author. TOUCH TO CAST THE NEXT LEVEL! ADVANCE BOUNDER C TIER SPELL! The emitters on her forearm guards glowed with green magic energy as she dashed forward and past the Cerberus Phantom, decking him across the face in the process.

Symbol hit her Wizard Driver’s left Shift Lever three times before scanning her left glove. TOUCH TO CAST THE NEXT LEVEL! ADVANCE A TIER SPELL! The emitters on her shin guards glowed as yellow magical energy wrapped around both of her gloves. She curled them into fists and punched the Cerberus Phantom in the gut, sparks exploded from the impact point.

Advance Bounder raced in from the left and punched the Cerberus Phantom again as she dashed past.

Symbol used her other fist to uppercut the Cerberus Phantom into the air. “All yours!” she shouted to Advance Breaker.

Who was still in the air. “Thank you!” she hit her Wizard Driver’s left Shift Lever three times before scanning her left glove. TOUCH TO CAST THE NEXT LEVEL! ADVANCE BREAKER A TIER SPELL! The emitters in her shin guards hummed to life as she punched downwards. Her fist hit the Cerberus Phantom and drove it into the ground.

“Here we go!” Symbol hit the Advance Timer’s Hand Author as the first clock hand reached the purple section. BLASTER ADVANCE! The Advance Blaster magic circle appeared and the Advance Blaster energy clone jumped out of it. ADVANCE WEAPON TIME! Roared the Advance Timer as its first clock hand reached the yellow section and stopped, allowing the second clock hand to start ticking.

“Targeted and firing,” she pressed her Wizard Driver’s left Shift Lever once and scanned her left glove over her Wizard Driver’s Hand Author. TOUCH TO CAST THE NEXT LEVEL! ADVANCE BLASTER C TIER SPELL! Five orbs of purple magical energy winked in around her before being shot forwards and exploding around the Cerberus Phantom.

“You will not do this to me!” suddenly, the Cerberus Phantom jumped out of the crater and smashed an elbow in Symbol, gut, sending her flying back through the air, she smashed into a wall and slid down it to the ground.

She did not move.

“SUNSET!” shouted Dante.

Before he could do anything, the Cerberus Phantom let loose a pulse of ice magic from his body that froze Dante and the four Advance Style energy Clones in ice.

“HA! NOW YOU HAVE BEEN DEFEATED BY THE MIGHTY CERBERUS!” bellowed the Phantom.

S-N-I-P-E-R! W-I-N-D D-U-S-T P-O-W-E-R-E-D! Suddenly, a high powered wind dust sniper bolt slammed into the Cerberus Phantom’s chest plate, driving it backward.

The Phantom glared at Kamen Rider Weapon before pulling back both fists. “You will die here! Gem Maiden scum!” he slammed both fists on the ground and fired a line of ice spikes towards the Kamen Rider.

BEOWULF BITING! Only for Kamen Rider Grimm to appear in front of the ice spikes. D-R-A-G-O-N R-A-G-E A-T-T-A-C-K! She covered her right Beo Claw in golden fire and slashed upward through the ground, firing five vertical crescent of fire towards the ice spikes. The two opposite elements clashed, creating steam for several seconds before the ice attack broke through.

“Countermeasures failed,” reported Grimm as she rolled to the side, but her left leg was still frozen to the ground as the ice attack zoomed past her. 

Weapon quickly removed the Dust Knuckle from the left side of the Weapon Driver. She removed the Crescent Rose Whistle and inserted the Ember Celica Whistle. E-M-B-E-R C-E-L-I-C-A! Then she pressed the right side of the Aura Knuckle into her left palm. R-E-A-D-Y! Then she slotted the Dust Knuckle back into the Weapon Driver. F-I-S-T O-N! The holographic suit of armour appeared and slammed into her.

“System update,” she stated as the ice attack drew close.

“Receiving,” replied Grimm as the ice attack was about to strike Weapon.

Weapon pressed the Dust Knuckle into the left side of the Weapon Driver again. G-A-U-N-T-L-E-T-S! The Ember Celica Gauntlets appeared on her gloves in twin flashes of yellow light. W-I-N-D D-U-S-T C-H-A-R-G-E! She held her right glove up and turned it into a fist before punching the ground. Out of her fist roared a shockwave of green wind that held the ice back for a few moments.

Then it got through.

Kamen Rider Weapon was frozen instantly, she had no time to do or say anything and process took place. Seconds later the ice shattered, there was a flash of light as Weapon’s transformation ended, turning her back into a knocked out Janice and Pyrrha.

The only reason that Symbol and Dante had not transformed back was because they were in their upgraded forms when they were frozen.

“Adjusting tactics to account for an ally no longer being present,” commented Kamen Rider Grimm.

“You Gem Maidens really are heartless!” snarled out the Cerberus Phantom in hatred.

Grimm did not reply as she removed the Aura Knuckle from the right side of the Grimm Driver. She switched the Beowulf Whistle for the Beringel Whistle. B-E-R-I-N-G-E-L! Then she pressed the left side of the Aura Knuckle into her right palm. R-E-A-D-Y! Before inserting the Aura Knuckle back into the Grimm Driver. F-I-S-T O-N! The holographic suit of armour appeared in front of her and slammed back into her. The cross on her faceplate opened up, revealing her blood red visors.

The Cerberus Phantom’s chest head glowed as it fired another block of ice towards Kamen Rider Weapon. 

She pressed the left side of the Aura Knuckle into the right side Grimm Driver once. B-E-R-I-N-G-E-L B-I-T-T-I-N-G! The Gorilla Gauntlets appeared on her gloves as the ice cube raced towards her. D-R-A-G-O-N R-A-G-E A-T-T-A-C-K! Red and golden flames appeared around her right glove as she pulled it back and punched the ice block. Flames flew everywhere as the two elements fought. Fire won as the ice block shattered.

The problem was that while Symbol and Dante had been attacking it, the Cerberus Phantom had no time to charge up. Now, against a single opponent, it had plenty of time to do just that. It fired a beam of ice energy from all three dog heads. They merged into a single beam that shot through the air towards Kamen Rider Grimm.

Grimm saw this coming and slammed the left side of the Aura Knuckle into the right side of the Grimm Driver three times. B-E-R-I-N-G-E-L M-A-S-S-A-C-R-E! Golden and red fire erupted from her body before concentrating in her right glove as she curled it into a fist. The fired formed into the shape of a Chinese dragon as she charged forward. She pulled back her fist and slammed it into the ice beam. For a second it looked like the fire would win, until the flames started to freeze. “Error,” Grimm was unable to do anything as the flames spread over her body and froze her solid. After several seconds the ice shattered, Grimm was sent shooting backwards as her transformation ended, transforming her back into Nora and Ling.

Ling was knocked out.

Nora was barely awake.

“HA!” laughed the Cerberus Phantom.

SUPER ARM BITE! SONIC SLICERS BITE! “I HAVE HAD ENOUGH!” shouted the Cerberus Phantom as he was covered in white ice like energy. The blocks and cutters were frozen and shattered before the Cerberus Phantom dashed forward at blinding speed, closing the gap between himself, Mega and X. 

The Cerberus Phantom struck Mega in the gut with her right foot, creating a shockwave of white energy, along with a stream of that same energy shooting out through her back. X reached for a Whistle, but the Cerberus Phantom’s other foot found its home in the other Kamen Rider’s gut, creating the same shock wave and stream of energy. Sparks were released from their bodies as micro explosions went off all over them, and from the point of impact, a long stream of sparks flew out as is if they were bleeding.

Both Kamen Riders fell to their knees and then fell backwards, when their bodies hit the ground, two explosions went off, silhouetting the Cerberus Phantom in the burning flames as all eight of his eyes glowed. On the ground, Rainbow Dash, Twilight Sparkle, Applejack, Fluttershy, Rarity and Pinkie Pie lay motionless.

“Pathetic,” the Cerberus Phantom turned away from the Gem Maidens.


Only to stop as the ground started to shake. 

“What?” he muttered.

BREAKER SWORD! BLOCKER SWORD! BOUNDER SWORD! BLASTER SWORD! ADVANCE SWORD! ADVANCE PART TIME! ERROR! ERROR! ERROR! ERROR! ADVANCE COMBINATION TIME! TRIGGER! GO ANGEL! AN-AN-AN-ANGEL! Suddenly, the ice covering Symbol, the Advance Style Energy Clones and Dante exploded. 

When the Cerberus Phantom could see again, Symbol was standing there in her Full Advance Style, while Dante was standing in his Angel Trigger Style.

“Final!” snarled out Symbol as she pressed her Wizard Driver’s left Shift Lever once then she scanned her left glove across her Wizard Driver’s Hand Author. TOUCH TO CAST THE NEXT LEVEL! FULL ADVANCE D TIER SPELL! The emitters lit up as red magical energy glowed around her right glove. Symbol curled it into a fist and darted forwards.

“You think I’m scared of a costume change?!” shouted the Cerberus Phantom as he covered his right fist in icy energy and punched forwards. The two fists met and emitted a shockwave that sent ice flying in all directions.

As the two of them strained against each other, Dante punched the Trigger Ring into the back of the Rebellion Magnum. ANGEL TWO! MAGNUM STRIKE! Dante blurred forward fast enough to leave after images as he ran around and shot the Cerberus Phantom behind.

The Phantom roared in pain, then he was in even more pain as Symbol’s fist got through and slammed into his chest, sending him flying back. “You will pay!” he covered himself in raging white magic as he ran forward with a fist cocked back. 

“Never going to happen!” shouted Symbol as she pressed her Wizard Driver’s left Shift Lever twice then scanned her left glove across her Wizard Driver’s Hand Author. TOUCH TO CAST THE NEXT LEVEL! FULL ADVANCE C TIER SPELL! The emitters flashed as the Advance magic circle appeared in front of Symbol, blocking the Phantom’s fist. Then the shield started to ice over. 

“Hang on sis!” shouted Dante. “I’m coming!” he ran forwards as he punched the Trigger Ring into the back of the Rebellion Magnum. ANGEL FOUR! MAGNUM STRIKE! Light blue magical energy covered his body as he accelerated forwards.

“Not a chance!” shouted the Cerberus Phantom as he built up an orb of ice and threw it at Symbol, destroying her shield and blowing her back. Then he spun around and slashed at Dante.

But his attacks missed Dante as the Kamen Rider sidestepped, leaving an afterimage in his place, letting the Cerberus Phantom slash through the after image and then stepping back into the place he had just been standing. Dante quickly switched the Trigger Ring into its Devil Mode. TRIGGER! DEVIL GO! DE-DE-DE-DEVIL! Dante shifted back into the Devil Trigger Style and let that claw hit him. It did no damage. Dante punched the Trigger Ring into the back of the Rebellion Magnum. TWO! DEVIL! MAGNUM STRIKE! He fired three bursts of red energy that smashed into the Cerberus Phantom and made sparks explode from the impact points.

Symbol pressed her Wizard Driver’s left Shift lever three times before scanning her left glove across her Driver’s Hand Author. TOUCH TO CAST THE NEXT LEVEL! FULL ADVANCE B TIER SPELL! The emitters shone as Symbol blurred forwards with enough speed to leave afterimages behind her. She ran forward and smashed the Phantom across the chest. Then Symbol raced in from the left and kicked the Phantom into the air. She ran up a wall and dropped kicked the Phantom back down to the ground from the right. Symbol landed on the ground and before the Phantom could land, she punched it back into the air by hitting his spine.

The spell wore off and sparks exploded from the Cerberus Phantom as he had been swung all over the place. “Your not human, are you?” he asked the siblings.

“What gave it away?” asked Dante.

“Was it the superspeed? The super strength or the armour?” asked Symbol.

White wind covered the Cerberus Phantom. “This is my last resort. Survive it and I will be out of energy. The battle will be yours,” with that he punched the ground. All the heat in the air turned to absolute zero as dozens of ice spikes formed and rushed out in a circle around the Phantom.

Dante punched the Trigger Ring into his Driver’s left slot. GO! DEVIL! KICK STRIKE! Red energy roared around him before being pulled into his right boot.

Symbol hit her Wizard Driver’s left Shift Lever five times and scanned her left glove across her Wizard Driver’s Hand Author. TOUCH TO CAST THE NEXT LEVEL! VERY NICE!  FULL ADVANCE S TIER SPELL! THE BEST! She jumped into the air alongside Dante. “Advance Strike End / Devil’s Brawler!” shouted both of the Kamen Riders as their Rider kicks tore a path through the ice spikes. They slammed into the Phantom and ripped straight through it.

“Well done, young Kamen Riders,” whispered the Cerberus Phantom before he went up in a large explosion.

Both Kamen Riders transformed back into their human forms as the those who had been knocked out got back up.

“You are really not human,” are you?” asked the Cerberus Phantom as he lay on the ground.

“Who knows? I’m not even sure myself,” replied Dante. Then he was hit over the head by Sunset. “Ow!”

“My Brother is a liar, we’re both Kamen Riders,” explained Sunset.

“Kamen Riders?! You two are the Son and Daughter of Sparda and Eva?!” demanded the Cerberus Phantom.

“Yes?” asked Sunset, a bit unsure.

“You should have told me and I would have let you pass!” shouted the dying Phantom.

“Sorry,” apologised Sunset.

“Regardless, you have proven your strength. I acknowledge your ability. Take my power and go forth, you have my blessing,” the Phantom transformed into a pair of white orbs that shot towards the siblings.

“Wait a second!” shouted Dante.

“Whoa!” shouted Sunset.

One of the orbs smashed into Dante’s left glove, the Rebellion Ring was teleported to his left ring finger as a new Ring formed around his left index finger. It was white with a white gem in the centre of it that had three dog heads engraved into it. 

Sunset’s orb transformed into a small mechanical white Cerberus.

Dante covered his ears.

“SO CUTE!” squealed Sunset as she hugged the tinny three headed dog.

At that moment a motorcycle burst through the wall. Dante and Sunset back flipped over it with Sunset landing on the back of it. 

“Are you going to the party?” asked Dante. “What’s the hurry, didn’t you get an invitation?” 

Without even looking, the woman pulled out a rocket launcher and fired a rocket at him.

Dante leaned back and jumped onto the rocket and started riding it around.

“Great, he’s become an even bigger adrenaline junky,” groaned Sunset.

The woman turned to the Kamen Rider crouched on the back of her bike, just as Dante slammed the rocket into a wall, letting them both see her face. As she looked down at Sunset, for a brief moment, a soft smile suffused the woman's face, making her heart stoppingly beautiful to Dante.

The moment ended as Sunset jumped off the bike and she revved it up, jumping it past Dante and through the door. 

“This just keeps getting better and better,” stated Dante.

“And I might get a new sister-in-law out of this,” added Sunset. 

“Yeah- WAIT WHAT!?” shouted Dante

“I saw how you were looking at her,” deadpanned Sunset.

“It’s not like that!” protested Dante.

“Yeah right!” they walked through the hole.
> 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.

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!

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.

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.

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.

“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.
> S2E5 Of Phantom's and Swords
> --------------------------------------------------------------------------

The six Kamen Riders entered another part of the Giantwalker Chamber. In the centre of it was a stone basin with four Gargoyle shaped Phantoms holding it up, they were made of stone.

“I think we’ve seen the last of that guy,” Dante was referring to the rather annoying Jester Phantom.

“Thanks for destroying the lock for me, Devil Boy,” cackled Jester Phantom out of nowhere.

“You just had to open your big mouth, didn’t you?!” demanded Symbol.

“And welcome to Hell!” cackled the Jester Phantom.

Blood started to fill up the stone basin.

“Please accept my gift,” encouraged the Jester Phantom.

The blood started to leak out of the stone basin.

“Don’t be humble, just take it,” ordered the Jester Phantom. “After all we’re buddies aren’t we?”

The blood hit the Stone Gargoyle Phantoms and their bodies turned red as they transformed into Blood Gargoyle Phantoms.

“Well, isn't that special?” Dante asked his sister sarcastically.

“If this is how he treats his buddies, then I don’t want to know how this Jester Phantom treats his enemies,” Symbol replied.

“To be honest, I was expecting something a little better than this,” added Dante as he drew the Rebellion Blade.

“From a Phantom?!” demanded Symbol.

“Good point,” admitted Dante.

Let the battle begin!

Symbol pressed the Wizard Driver’s left Shift Lever once and then scanned her left glove across her Driver’s Hand Author. MAGICAL TOUCH GO! ACTIVE! C RANK SPELL! Red lightning covered her right fist as she punched a Blood Gargoyle Phantom in the face. Only for the lightning to have no effect on the Phantom, letting him scratch her with his claws. Sparks came from her chest armour as she stepped back in pain.

“No effect?” muttered Symbol. MAGICAL TOUCH HENSHIN! GIGA PLEASE! BREAK THROUGH! Suddenly, the Giga magic circle appeared under her boots and rose up through her. “What on earth-?!” demanded Symbol as a smaller Giga magic circle flew up through the air making the Giga Axe appear. Yet another Giga magic circle appeared and the Cerberus Phantom Familiar jumped out of it, he combined with the Giga Axe transforming it into the Giga Cerberus. “Now I see what’s going on,” muttered Symbol as the Wizard Driver started glowing. SMASH THE ICE! The Giga Ice magic circle appeared under her boots, transforming her into the Giga Cerberus Style. “So why did you do this?” Symbol asked the Giga Cerberus.

“To inform you that the Phantoms will be too powerful for your normal styles to fight from now on,” explained the Giga Cerberus. “You will have to use a Familiar Style from this point onwards.”

“Which means either using you or my Upgrade Styles,” muttered Symbol. “Great, that really limits my options,” she growled out. Suddenly, she yelped as the Blood Gargoyle Phantom got fed up of being ignored and slashed her across the chest plate. “It’s on now!” she pressed the Wizard Driver’s left Shift Lever once, then she scanned the Giga Ring across her Driver’s Hand Author. MAGICAL TOUCH SPELL! GIGA CERBERUS C RANK SPELL! Arctic blue energy gathered around the Giga Cerberus as she spun him around and slammed the hammer side into the ground. Water in the air froze over and froze the Blood Gargoyle Phantom solid.

Then Symbol noticed something. “So they turn back to stone when they get hit?” she questioned out loud.

“I noticed!” shouted Dante as he fired Coyote A at another Blood Gargoyle Phantom.

“Then why didn’t you tell me?” shouted Symbol as she pressed the Wizard Driver’s left Shift Lever once. MAGICAL TOUCH SPELL! GIGA C RANK SPELL! 

“You didn’t ask!” Dante shouted back as he jumped away from a second Blood Gargoyle Phantom and kicked it in the face.

Symbol rolled her eyes as she held up her right fist, green energy gathered around it, then she punched the frozen Phantom, causing it to shatter into pieces.

Then she moved to fight off another Blood Gargoyle.

Dante punched the Buffa Royalguard Ring into the Gate Driver’s right slot as a Lust Phantom bolted towards him. ONE! BUFFA GUARD! The Phantom brought his scythe around as Dante punched the ground, causing the scythe to bounce of the Buffa Royalguard Mantle. 

The Phantom roared in anger as he ran back and then zoomed forward towards Dante. The Kamen Rider frowned as he punched the Buffa Royalguard Ring into the Gate Driver for a second time. TWO! BUFFA GUARD! Dante spun around, letting the scythe bounce off the Buffa Royalguard Mantle again. “BREAK DOWN!”

“This is fun,” commented Dante. That just ticked the Lust Phantom off as he spun his scythe around before swinging it down towards Dante. He slammed the Buffa Royalguard Ring into the Gate Driver’s right slot again. THREE! BUFFA GUARD! Dante punched forward three times with the Buffa Royalguard Mantle bouncing the scythe away three times, each time it tried to arch around to attack Dante again. On the third bounce, it flew back to its owner’s hand.

The Lust Phantom jumped up to a wall and came down with an overhead slash. “Come on!” Dante responded by jumping into the air and punching the Buffa Royalguard Ring into the Gate Driver’s right slot. FOUR! BUFFA GUARD! He spun the Buffa Royalguard Mantle and deflected the Lust Phantom’s scythe again.

The Lust Phantom landed back on the ground and staggered before he charged at Dante with his scythe. Dante punched the Buffa Royalguard Ring into the Gate Driver’s right slot again. FIVE! BUFFA GUARD! Dante punched forward after wrapping his fist in the Buffa Royalguard Mantle. The scythe was deflected and the Lust Phantom was sent staggering back.

Suddenly, the Lust Phantom was covered in a black aura and raced at Dante in a blur. “YOU HAVE GOT TO BE JOKING!” shouted Dante as he punched the Buffa Royalguard Ring into the Gate Driver’s right slot. SIX! BUFFA GUARD! Dante quickly wrapped himself in the Buffa Royalguard Mantle. He gritted as the Lust Phantom slashed at his defence. 

Then he stopped. Dante unravelled the now glowing Buffa Royalguard Mantle and saw that the Lust Phantom had clearly tired himself out. “My turn,” smirked Dante as he punched the Buffa Royalguard Ring into the Gate Driver’s right slot one more time. KICK STRIKE GO! BUFFA MIX! Dante leapt into the air as the energy was transferred from the Buffa Royalguard Mantle to his right boot. Six red Buffalo Constructs formed around his right boot as Dante did a flying kick. The Lust Phantom was sent flying through four walls before he exploded.

“So how do we get out of here?” asked Symbol as the doors were still sealed by red barriers.

Then a magic circle appeared on the floor as a pillar of purple light burst out of it.

“I’m guessing that way,” replied Dante as he ran into the light.

“Wait for me!” shouted Symbol as she, Weapon, Grimm, Mega and X followed her brother.

When they came out of the teleportation, they were in a circle shaped room that was lit by purple torches.

Standing in the centre of the room was the Jester Phantom. “Welcome to hell!” he crackled.

“YOU AGAIN?!” shouted Dante as he ran at the Phantom. SHURIKEN STRIKE! “Ice Age!” roared Dante as he was surrounded by a sphere of ice and arctic winds. 	The sphere exploded outwards, firing a wall of ice at the Phantom.

MAGICAL TOUCH GO! VERY NICE! GIGA! S RANK SPELL! THE BEST! “I won’t miss this time!” shouted Symbol as she swung the hammer part of the Giga Cerberus upwards when the Jester Phantom teleported behind Dante. “Cerberus Howl!”

“BALLS!” shouted the Giga Cerberus as he made contact.

*DING!*

“Oh!” the Jester Phantom fell over, clenching his manhood as Symbol removed the hammer from them.

“First time I’ve ever seen a clown be funny,” mocked Dante, even though he was clutching his own balls.

The Jester Phantom growled as he teleported away.

“I’ll use the axe part next time!” shouted Symbol into the air as they were teleported back into the Giantwalker Chamber.

Dante flinched a bit at that threat. “It’s time to go!” he ordered as the barrier around the doors vanished.

The four of them jumped up and through the door, arriving back in the Endless Infernum.

“Let me see that thing again,” requested Symbol.

“Sure,” Dante held up the Astronomical Board.

“I’ve seen where this goes!” Symbol snatched it off Dante and ran back into the Chamber of Echoes.

“Hey! Wait for me!” shouted Dante as he followed her.

Symbol ran up along the path and slammed the Astronomical Board into a panel that was next to a mass of rotating gears. This caused three walls near the bottom of the chamber to open, revealing another path. At the same time, a magic circle flared in the centre of the chamber’s floor. “I wonder what that does,” questioned Symbol.

“One way to find out,” replied Dante as he jumped off the path.

“YOUR INSANE!” shouted Symbol.

“Don’t worry, I have very strong ankles,” Dante shouted back as he hit the magic circle and bounced back up. He landed on the path above the one that his sister was standing on and grabbed a staff before jumping back down. “Wonder what this does,” he questioned.

“That is the Vajura,” explained the Giga Cerberus. “With it, you will be able to get the Soul of Steel from the Living Statue Room.”

“That’s the room with the cage in it, right?” asked Symbol.

“Yes,” replied the Giga Cerberus. 

“That sure is a lot of backtracking,” complained Symbol as they all jumped back down and ran through the blue door.

Right into yet another Phantom horde.

Let the battle begin.

Symbol pressed the Wizard Driver’s left Shift Lever twice then she scanned her left glove across her Driver’s Hand Author before holding the Giga Cerberus vertical so that the collar was level with the Driver’s Hand Author. MAGICAL TOUCH SPELL! GIGA CERBERUS B RANK SPELL! Symbol covered the axe part of the Giga Cerberus in white arctic energy and then slammed it down on the ground, firing a line of ice spikes up the stairs, they impaled five Pride Phantoms.

Then she pressed the Wizard Driver’s left Shift Lever twice before scanning her left glove across her Driver’s Hand Author. MAGICAL TOUCH SPELL! GIGA B RANK SPELL! Symbol covered her right glove in green magical energy as she slammed it into the ground. The ice spikes shattered, cutting the Phantoms up from the inside out.

Symbol slid the Bombardment, Hammer, High Speed and Furnace Rings onto her right index, middle and ring fingers as well as her right thumb. Then she pressed the Wizard Driver’s right Shift Lever once and scanned her right glove across her Driver’s Hand Author. MAGIC TOUCHIE HENSHIN! BOMBARDMENT HAMMER HIGH SPEED FURNACE PLEASE! She held her right glove down to the ground as the four magic circles appeared under her boots and rose up through her, transforming Symbol into her new Giga Substyle.

The bombardment logo appeared in the upper right of her chest plate while the hammer logo materialized in the upper left of her chest plate. Then the high speed logo winked in on the lower left of her chest armour while the furnace logo flashed into the lower right of her chest plate. Her shoulder pauldrons changed from green to blue and transformed into a pair of 3D squares. Her right forearm guard turned black and her left forearm guard turned dark green. Both of her forearm guards now had burning red outlines.

She was now Kamen Rider Symbol, Giga Cerberus style, Bombardment, Hammer, High Speed Furnace Substyle.

“Huh, no new weapons?” questioned Symbol.

“Don’t worry, you no longer need new weapons in the Familiar Styles,” explained the Giga Cerberus.

“That’s a shame,” muttered Symbol.

“Why?” asked the Giga Cerberus.

“I like new weapons,” whined Symbol.

“I hate to interrupt, BUT WE ARE IN THE MIDDLE OF A FIGHT HERE!” roared Dante.

“Oh, right!” replied Symbol, three Pride Phantoms had been hitting her for the last few minutes but had been doing no damage. She pressed the Wizard Driver’s right Shift Lever once and scanned her right glove over her Driver’s Hand Author. MAGIC TOUCHIC GO! BOMBARDMENT MAGIC PLEASE! Suddenly, a pair of cannons emerged from her backplate. The left one was dark green and had four barrels while the right cannon was dark red and had a single barrel.

“I thought you said I didn’t have any new weapons,” pointed out Symbol.

“I lied,” replied the Giga Cerberus.

Symbol growled as she fired a barrage of blue bolts from the Fast Shooter small barrelled cannon and a bolt of blue energy from the single barrelled Fire Shooter Barrel. The Pride Phantoms were driven back by the barrage of small blue bolts and then destroyed by the single blue bolt.

“This looks promising,” commented Symbol as she pressed the Wizard Driver’s right Shift Lever three times and then scanned her right glove over her Driver’s Hand Author. MAGIC TOUCHIC GO! HIGH SPEED MAGIC PLEASE! Symbol took aim with the Fast Shooter and let loose with a barrage of green bullets that tore through a Wrath Phantom. His bomb exploded and destroyed a pair of Pride Phantoms that had been escorting him.

“Final!” 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! HAMMER MAGIC PLEASE! The Fire Shooter charged up black energy and fired a ball of energy into the air, it arced up and then came crashing back down, destroying a pair of Lust Phantoms that had been charging at Symbol.

Symbol turned to see how the others were doing.

Weapon pressed the right side of the Dust Knuckle into the left side of the Weapon Driver. S-W-O-R-D! She held out her right glove and a white boardsword with a golden guard appeared. E-A-R-T-H D-U-S-T C-H-A-R-G-E! She covered the Knight Sword in rocks as she darted forwards and slashed downwards, cutting a glowing orange line through a Blood Gargoyle Phantom. The Phantom turned to stone and was helpless as Weapon smashed him to rubble with the hilt of the Knight Sword.

Suddenly, she was struck by three more Blood Gargoyle Phantoms that circled her from the air. Weapon removed the Dust Knuckle from the left side of the Weapon Driver and then switched the Earth Dust Whistle for a new Whistle. Its head was in the shape of a starburst and the rest of it was coloured yellow. She placed the Whistle into the Dust Knuckle. L-I-G-H-T D-U-S-T! Before pressing the right side of the Dust Knuckle into her right palm. R-E-A-D-Y! She slotted the Dust Knuckle back into the Weapon Driver. F-I-S-T O-N! The holographic suit of armour shot outwards and slammed into her, transforming the orange rocky background of her chest plate into a yellow light background. Her body released a burst of yellow light that forced the three Phantoms back as the cross on her faceplate opened, revealing her blue circle shaped visors.

Then Weapon pressed the right side of the Dust Knuckle into the left side of the Weapon Driver once more. S-W-O-R-D! She held out her right glove and the Knight Sword appeared again as one of the Blood Gargoyle Phantoms charged at the Kamen Rider from the front. L-I-G-H-T D-U-S-T C-H-A-R-G-E! Yellow light covered the Knight Sword as Weapon swung it around. There was a flash of yellow light as the two of them appeared on the other side of each other.

There was a beat of silence.

Then the Blood Gargoyle Phantom turned to stone before falling to the ground and shattering.

The other two Blood Gargoyle Phantoms roared in rage as they flew towards Weapon. She pressed the Dust Knuckle into the Weapon Driver again. S-H-I-E-L-D! There was a flash of light as the Kite Shield appeared in her left glove. L-I-G-H-T D-U-S-T P-O-W-E-R-E-D! She held up the Kite Shield and summoned a barrier of yellow light that the two Phantoms impacted and were thrown back by.

Weapon pressed the Dust Knuckle into the Weapon Driver once more. S-W-O-R-D! She held up her right glove and the Kite Shield transformed into the Knight Sword. L-I-G-H-T D-U-S-T C-H-A-R-G-E! Yellow light covered it as the Kamen Rider pressed the right side of the Dust Knuckle into the left side of the Weapon Driver three more times. C-R-O-C-E-A M-O-R-S R-I-S-E U-P! Weapon held the Knight Sword up and bright yellow light covered it, transforming the sword into a giant blade of yellow light energy that reached up to the roof. Weapon slashed down, the blade of light was wide enough to engulf the two Blood Gargoyle Phantoms. As the sword slammed into the ground, a powerful explosion rippled across the Giantwalker Chamber. “Mission accomplished,” spoke up Weapon.

“Everyone’s doing really well,” stated Symbol.

They ran into the Living Statue Chamber and looked around for a minute.

“Dante, over here!” shouted Symbol.

“You found something?” asked Dante as he ran over. 

Symbol showed him a cylinder with three holes in it that looked like they could fit the Vajura’s prongs. 

“Think it’ll fit?” asked Symbol.

“Let’s see,” Dante rammed the Vajura into the slots and pulled down, turning the cylinder. Which in turn pulled the chains, raising the cage up. 

“Nice one,” Symbol ran over and grabbed the Soul of Steel from the cage.

Doing this made red barriers spring up around the doors.

“Of course that would happen!” snarled Symbol as Gluttony Phantoms and Enigma Phantoms started appearing all around the room.

Let the battle begin.

Symbol pressed the Wizard Driver’s right Shift Lever four times and then scanned her right glove over her Driver’s Hand Author. MAGIC TOUCHIC GO! FURNACE MAGIC PLEASE! The Fire Shooter took aim and fired a fireball at an Enigma Phantom. The flame hit the Phantom and drove it back several steps with a smoking hot chest.

“That thought came out wrong,” muttered Symbol as she blushed. Then Symbol switched the Hammer Ring for the Drill Ring. She pressed the Wizard Driver’s right Shift Lever and scanned her right glove across her Driver’s Hand Author. MAGIC TOUCHIE HENSHIN! BOMBARDMENT DRILL HIGH SPEED FURNACE PLEASE! She held her right glove down to the ground, the Drill magic circle appeared under her boots and rose up through her. The Hammer logo in the upper left of her chest armour was replaced by the drill logo. Her right forearm guard shifted from black to purple. A third barrel came from her backpack, it was purple and looked like a spiral, also it was positioned over her helmet. This is called the Spiral Shooter.

The Enigma Phantom recovered and took aim at Symbol as she pressed the Wizard Driver’s right Shift Lever once, then she scanned her right glove across her Driver’s Hand Author. MAGIC TOUCHIC GO! BOMBARDMENT MAGIC PLEASE! The three barrels took aim at the Phantom and blue energy gathered in front of them. “Fire!” shouted Symbol as the barrels each fired a blast of blue energy. The three blasts spiralled around each other as they rocketed through the air and hit the Enigma Phantom, causing it to explode.

Suddenly, Symbol shouted and stumbled in pain as a sand breath attack hit her in the backplate. She spun around and glared at a Gluttony Phantom as she hit the Wizard Driver’s right Shift Lever twice, then she held her right glove in front of her Driver’s Hand Author. MAGIC TOUCHIC GO! DRILL MAGIC PLEASE! The Spiral Shooter took aim and fired a stream of purple energy that spiralled through the air. The Gluttony Phantom blocked with his scythe, but he was pushed back before his scythe broke it two. Thankfully for him, the blast had lost too much energy and was unable to do more than bruise his chest.

“Darn it!” shouted Symbol as she pressed the Wizard Driver’s right Shift Lever three times and held her right glove in front of her Driver’s Hand Author. MAGIC TOUCHIC GO! HIGH SPEED MAGIC PLEASE! The Fast Shooter moved so that it was aimed at the Gluttony Phantom and opened fire with a barrage of green bullets that shot through the air. The Gluttony Phantom took in a deep breath and exhaled, firing a stream of sand through the air causing most of the bullets to detonate before they were able to reach him.

“Ok, bring it on!” Symbol hit the Wizard Driver’s right Shift Lever four times and swiped her right glove across her Driver’s Hand Author. MAGIC TOUCHIC GO! FURNACE MAGIC PLEASE! The Fire Shooter took aim at the Gluttony Phantom and fired a spiral of flame through the air towards him. The Guttony Phantom fired another breath attack, this one was much weaker than the last one. The spiral of fire coiled around the breath attack and pulled the sand after it. The Phantom only had enough time to throw up his arms in defence before he was incinerated by blazing hot sand that had come from his own attack.

“Finished,” muttered Symbol.

PROTO SHIELD! Mega held up her right glove as the Proto Shield appeared on it, blocking a sand breath attack from a Gluttony Phantom. Mega ran forward and punched the Phantom in the gut, forcing him to stop his attack.

Mega jumped back as the Phantom swung at her with his scythe, she slotted the Liquid Tune Whistle into the Mega Driver and pressed down on the top of it. LIQUID TUNE! She was covered in a sphere of liquid as she transformed into her Liquid Tune. The sphere detonated, forcing the Gluttony Phantom to back off.

Then Mega pulled out a new Whistle. Its head was in the shape of a bubble and the rest of it was coloured blue. Mega slotted it into the Mega Driver and pressed down. BUBBLE LEAD! She held up both gloves and a bubble appeared between them. She rolled it along the ground and the Gluttony Phantom laughed at her as he blew a sand breath attack at the bubble. Only for the bubble to plough through it and flatten the Phantom like a steam roller over the tarmac. Then the flattened Phantom reinflated and ran at Mega.

Mega slotted the Fire Tune Whistle back into the Mega Driver before pressing down on it. FIRE TUNE! She was covered in fire that burst off her body as she transformed back into the Fire Tune. She pulled out the next Whistle. Its head looked like a boomerang and the rest of it was coloured red. She placed it into the Mega Driver’s mouth and slammed her right glove down on it. QUICK BOOMERANG! A red boomerang construct appeared around her right arm as she dashed forward and slashed the Gluttony Phantom several times before he was able to recover and hit her back with the shaft of his scythe prior to slashing her across her chest armour twice.

Mega slotted the Liquid Tune Whistle back into the Mega Driver and pressed down on it. LIQUID TUNE! Water covered her body as she transformed into the Liquid Tune, blocking a sand breath attack. She drew the next new Whistle, it’s head was in the shape of a spike while the rest of it was coloured blue. She placed it into the Mega Driver and pressed down on it. CRASH BOMBER! Mega threw her left arm forward and fired a spike. It shot through the air and the Gluttony Phantom used his scythe to block, only for the spike to explode and send him staggering backwards from the force of the explosion.

Mega slotted the Fire Tune Whistle back into the Mega Driver and pressed down on it. FIRE TUNE! There was a burst of heat as she transformed back into the Fire Tune and drew a new Whistle. Its head looked like a clock and the rest of it was coloured red. She placed it into the Mega Driver’s slot and slammed her right glove down on it as the Gluttony Phantom recovered and fired another sand breath attack at her. TIME STOPPER! Suddenly, everything stopped as Mega froze time.

She walked up behind the Phantom as she placed her right glove into the Mega Driver’s mouth, letting it bite down. TIME STOPPER BITE! Her right boot was covered in red energy as she spun around and kicked the Gluttony Phantom in the back, sending him flying as time started up again. The Phantom cried out in pain as he exploded.

“So what does this do Cerberus?” asked Symbol.

“Do you remember the Endless Infernum?” asked the Giga Cerberus.

“...” all four Kamen Riders gave him a blank look.

“It’s the room where the bridge collapsed,” explained the weapon.

“Oh!” replied Dante and Symbol.

“The Soul of Steel will let you walk across the gap as if it were solid ground,” explained the Giga Cerberus.

“That could come in handy,” stated Dante.

“Don’t get used to it, you will have to give it up to unlock the door on the other side of the gap,” chuckled the Giga Cerberus.

“That bites,” whined Symbol.

“You do realize that you can both fly, right?” asked the Giga Cerberus.

There was a beat of awkward silence.

“Let’s go!” shouted Symbol.

They ran back out into the Entrance Way.

Into yet another horde of Phantoms.

“Why did I not see this coming?!” demanded Symbol.

Let the battle begin.

A Lust Phantom came screaming towards her and slashed her, unleashing a spray of sparks as he rocketed past her. Then he turned around and slashed her across the backplate several times before jumping back as Symbol swung at him with the Giga Cerberus. “You are not going to get away with that!” snarled out Symbol as she pressed the Wizard Driver’s left Shift Lever three times and scanned the Giga Ring across it. Then she held the Giga Cerberus over her waist so that the collar was level with the Driver’s Hand Author. MAGICAL TOUCH SPELL! GIGA CERBERUS A RANK SPELL! The Lust Phantom cam charging at Symbol again as she covered the spear part of the Giga Cerberus in arctic white energy. “Take this!” shouted Symbol as she stabbed forward with the Giga Cerberus. The Lust Phantom had no time to change course and was frozen over from the point the Giga Cerberus stabbed into him.

“Time to end this!” Symbol struck the Wizard Driver’s left Shift Lever three times and then scanned her left glove across her Driver’s Hand Author. MAGICAL TOUCH SPELL! GIGA A RANK SPELL! Green energy covered her body as she grabbed the frozen Phantom in a bear hug and then crushed it, causing the Phantom to shatter.

Sparks flew from Symbol as three red arrows impacted her. Symbol stumbled back and glared at three Enigma Phantoms as she switched the High Speed Ring for the Terra Ring. Then she hit the Wizard Driver’s right Shift Lever and held her right glove in front of her Driver’s Hand Author. MAGIC TOUCHIE HENSHIN! BOMBARDMENT DRILL TERRA FURNACE PLEASE! Symbol held her right glove down to the ground as the Drill magic circle appeared under her boots and rose up through her. The High Speed logo in the bottom left of her chest armour transformed into the black Terra logo. The cannons on her back vanished and a cannon appeared under her right arm. It was dark blue with a spiral shaped barrel and black tank treads on either side of it. The whole thing had red outlines and attached to the bottom of the cannon was four red grills that glowed as well as shimmered with heat. This is the Drill Chain Furnace.

She was now Kamen Rider Symbol, Giga Cerberus Style, Bombardment Drill Terra Furnace Substyle.

Symbol pressed the Wizard Driver’s right Shift Lever once and then swiped her right glove across her Driver’s Hand Author. MAGIC TOUCHIC GO! BOMBARDMENT MAGIC PLEASE! Blue energy gathered around the cannon weapon as Symbol took aim and fired a beam of blue energy at the Enigma Phantoms. They charged up their bows with red energy before each of them fired a red energy arrow. They swirled together and combined into a single arrow that parted the beam down the middle. 

“Shit!” snarled out Symbol as she pressed the Wizard Driver’s right Shift Lever twice and held her right glove in front of her Driver’s Hand Author. MAGIC TOUCHIC GO! DRILL MAGIC PLEASE! She took aim and fired a spiral of red fire from the Drill Chain Furnace. The flame wrapped around the blue beam and pushed back against the arrows. The two beams wrapped around each other. “Final!” shouted Symbol as cracks spread through the arrows before they shattered. The blue beam washed over the Phantoms while the spiral of fire drill a hole through them. The sound of a drill on stone was heard until the three Enigma Phantoms exploded.

X jumped back as an Enigma Phantom fired a trio of blue arrows at her, she dodged to the side and slotted the Water Tune Whistle into the X Driver before pressing down. WATER TUNE! She was covered in a sphere of water which then exploded outward, blocking three more blues arrows, transforming her into the Water Tune. She drew out a Whistle that was coloured green with the head of a buzzsaw. She placed it into the X Driver and pressed down. SPIN WHEEL! She held up her right glove and water gathered into a wheel, it started to spin as the edges turned jagged, then the wheel shot forward and ground sparks out of the Enigma Phantom that it smashed into.

Then X slotted the Wind Tune Whistle into the X Driver before pressing down. WIND TUNE! She was covered in a sphere of blue wind that burst outwards, blocking a red arrow, as she transformed into the Wind Tune. She drew a Whistle with a bubble head which was coloured blue. She slammed it into the X Driver and pressed down. BUBBLE SPLASH! She held both of her gloves forward and fired an arc of bubbles into the air. They shot forward and detonated against the Phantom causing sparks to explode from the impact point.

X placed the Silent Tune Whistle into the X Driver and pressed down on it. SILENT TUNE! She was covered in a sphere of purple sound as she shifted into the Silent Tune and pulled out a new Whistle. It was purple with the head of a flame. She placed it into the Mega Driver and pressed down on top of it. SPEED BURNER! Mega held up both gloves and fired a pair of fireballs that shot through the air, spiralling around each other. They slammed into the Enigma Phantom’s chest and forced him back with smoke coming from the impact point. 

X switched the Earth Whistle into the X Driver and pressed down on it. EARTH TUNE! She was covered in a sphere of rock as she transformed into the Earth Tune. The sphere of rock exploded, sending the Enigma Phantom flying as several rocks smacked into his face. Mega slotted a brown Whistle with the head of a spider into the X Driver before pressing down on the top of it. SILK SHOT! X held up her right palm and fired a chain that tore some metal from a wall, she spun it around and slammed it into the Enigma Phantom, sparks exploded from the impact point as the Phantom was sent flying back and exploded against a wall. 

“Mission cleared,” droned X.

The group ran back into the Chamber of Echoes and quickly found the yellow door that led back to the Endless Infernum.

“Here we go,” Symbol stepped into the void.

Dante tensed to grab her.

Symbol expected to fall, only for her boot to land on the air as if it were solid ground. The air rippled as if her boots were stones impacting the water. “It’s fine! Come on!” she ran across the gap with Dante and her Gem Maiden Servants following.

The door opened as Dante slotted the Soul of Steel into it. 

The group ran down some stairs and into an elevator room.

Symbol pressed down on the Wizard Driver’s left Shift Lever once before scanning her left glove across her Driver’s Hand Author. MAGICAL TOUCH SPELL! GIGA C RANK SPELL! She covered her right fist in energy and punched a wheel that was mounted on the wall. 

All of the points lit up in red flames. 

Symbol jumped onto the elevator, that was positioned in the centre of the room as it started to rise into the air. 

Then Dante had to open his big mouth. “That was easy.”

Phantoms dropped down onto the elevator.

Symbol glared at her Brother in rage.

“Oops,” replied Dante.

Let the battle begin.

Symbol took aim with the Drill Chain Furnace as she hit the Wizard Driver’s right Shift Lever three times and scanned her right glove over her Driver’s Hand Author. MAGIC TOUCHIC GO! HIGH SPEED MAGIC PLEASE! Symbol fired a barrage of black coals that forced three Pride Phantoms back until they fell over the edge of the elevator and broke apart when they impacted the floor below.

Suddenly, Symbol was slashed across the backplate by a Gluttony Phantom. She turned around just in time to take a sand breath blast to her faceplate. “Ok, that is it! CERBERUS!” shouted Symbol.

“Yes, Mistress?” asked the Giga Cerberus.

“I’m going to try something really, really stupid!” she shouted. “I’m sorry if this goes very wrong!” 

“I trust you, my mistress,” replied the Giga Cerberus.

“Great,” Symbol switched the Giga Ring for the Active Ring and hit her Driver’s left Shift Lever before scanning her left glove across her Driver’s Hand Author. MAGICAL TOUCH HENSHIN! ACTIVE PLEASE! LET’S GO! She held her left glove out to the side as the Active magic circle appeared and moved through her, transforming her back into the Active Style. Then she held out her right glove and a small Giga magic circle appeared on the floor. White light shone from it as the Cerberus Phantom Familiar rose out of it.

He jumped onto Symbo’s right shoulder pauldron. “How did you?”

“I’ve always been a fast learner,” explained Symbol as she reached into an Active magic circle and drew the Active Blade from it. Then she pulled open its Hand Author and scanned Active Ring across it. COME ON A SLASH SHAKE HANDS! ACTIVE! SLASH STRIKE! She slashed down, firing a wave of lightning from the Active Blade that was leaking arctic blue energy. It roared across the air and impacted the Gluttony Phantom’s raised scythe. Sparks flew everywhere before the lightning wave detonated and made the Phantom stagger back.

“It worked!” suddenly, blue lightning crackled over Symbol’s body and drove her down to one knee.

“SUNSET!” shouted Dante as he ran over to his sister and helped her back to her boots. “What happened?!”

“My energy is incompatible with the Active Style and caused feedback when used in a spell,” explained the Cerberus Phantom Familiar.

“I had a feeling that would be the case,” admitted Symbol.

“And you still thought doing it would be a good idea?!” demanded an irate Dante.

“I’ll be fine, just so long as I only do that trick once or twice,” explained Symbol as she managed to steady herself.

Grimm pressed the left side of the Aura Knuckle into the right side of the Grimm Driver. B-E-R-I-N-G-E-L B-I-T-T-I-N-G! The Gorilla Gauntlets appeared on her wrists as she pulled them back. W-H-I-T-E G-L-Y-P-H A-T-T-A-C-K! Then a white glyph appeared in front of each fist. She thrust them through the glyphs and her arms were accelerated into white streaks. She slammed her fists into the Lust Phantom and sent him flying backwards with his head exploding as it made contact with a wall.

Then Grimm drew a new Whistle, it’s head was in the shape of a red magnet and the rest of it was coloured bronze. She removed the Aura Knuckle from the Grimm Driver, then she took the White Glyph Whistle out of the Aura Knuckle and inserted the new Whistle. M[b]-A-G-N-E-T! She pressed the left side of the Aura Knuckle into her left palm. R-E-A-D-Y! She slotted the Aura Knuckle back into 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 back into her, transforming the white glyph on her chest plate into a bronze magnet with red tips.

Grimm pressed the left side of the Aura Knuckle back into the Grimm Driver. B-E-R-I-N-G-E-L B-I-T-T-I-N-G! The Gorilla Gauntlets appeared on her wrists once more. M-A-G-N-E-T A-T-T-A-C-K! Suddenly, a Gluttony Phantom was yanked towards Grimm, she pulled back her right fist and punched the Phantom. His momentum was stopped and reversed with enough force to snap his spine in half.

Then 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! The Gorilla Gauntlets vanished as a banana bomb appeared in her right glove. Grimm threw the bomb forwards and it landed on the ground. M-A-G-N-E-T B-A-T-T-L-E! Three Lust Phantoms ran past it, only to get pulled back to the bomb, which then exploded, taking out all three of them.

Grimm removed the Aura Knuckle from her Driver and switched the Beringel Whistle for the Beowulf Whistle. B-E-O-W-U-L-F! She pressed the left side of the Aura Knuckle into her left palm. R-E-A-D-Y! Before reattaching the Aura Knuckle to the Grimm Driver. F-I-S-T O-N! The holographic suit of armour slammed into her, transforming the Beringel into a Beowulf. Then she slammed the left side of the Aura Knuckle into the right side of the Grimm Driver. B-E-O-W-U-L-F B-I-T-I-N-G! She held out her gloves as the Beo Claws appeared in flashes of black mist. M-A-G-N-E-T A-T-T-A-C-K! She slashed downwards and as a Gluttony Phantom fired a sand breath attack, the sand was parted three ways down the middle.

Grimm quickly 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 covered her legs as they shifted into Beowulf legs. M-A-G-N-E-T B-A-T-T-L-E! Grimm darted forward as Lust Phantom was pulled towards her, she kicked it with enough force to break a hole in its stomach.

“Mission Clear,” stated Grimm.

The group ran out onto a walkway that led to the outside of the tower. 

“It’s cold tonight,” muttered Symbol.

“Really?” asked Dante.

“Well, for a human anyway,” replied Symbol.

Dante shrugged. “Good job we’re not human then.”

They ran back inside the tower, through a pair of red doors and into the Firestorm Chamber.

It was a black cave like room, at one end was a large steel black door with many, many locks and chains across it.

“Are those supposed to be statues, or thrones?” asked Symbol.

The chains wrapped across the door lead to a pair of giant thrones. They were in the shape of people with no heads. They each held a massive double sided sword.

Sitting on each throne was a Phantom. They were humanoids and dressed in knight armour. The Phantom on the left wore red armour while the Phantom on the right was dressed in blue armour. Each of them held a curved single sided sword.

“Look Brother, it’s been ages but we finally have company,” spoke the red Phantom.

“I see that,” replied the blue Phantom. “We must entertain our guests.”

“Your right, we have to be gracious hosts.”

“What should we do?”

“How do I know? We need to come up with something.”

Dante had started to pace.

Symbol sweat dropped.

“Brother, one of our guests is sighing.”

“SIGH? What is a SIGH?”

“Well a sigh is-” 

*Rumble!*

The two Phantoms and Dante slowly turned to look at Symbol who’s stomach had just rumbled.

“Brother,” the first Phantom spoke. “We have TWO guests!”

“And the smaller one-,” began the blue Phantom.

A tick mark appeared on Symbol’s helmet.

“-is hungry!” finished the blue Phantom.

“We must provide food,” added the red Phantom.

“But what food?” asked the blue Phantom.

“Got any cookies?” asked Symbol.

Dante looked at his sister.

“What?!” she demanded as she transformed back into Sunset Shimmer Sparda. “I haven’t had anything to eat in days,” she paused. “Or years, depending on your point of view.”

“Cookie we shall provide,” chroised both Phantoms.

Without any warning, Dante found himself and Sunset buried under a pile of cookies that appeared out of nowhere. 

“Do you think we provided too much Brother?” asked the red Phantom.

“Nonsense,” the second Phantom countered. “There is no such thing as too much of a good thing!”

A loud munching could be heard from the pile as Sunset started to eat her way out.

“Did I not tell you, Brother?” crowed the second Phantom. “We have pleased our guests!” 

“One of them anyway,” groused Dante as he pulled himself out of the cookie mountain. “In case you hadn’t noticed, I’m not hungry! At least, not for cookies.”

“He is right, brother,” confirmed the first Phantom. “We must please both our guests to be good hosts.”

“Then what can we do?” inquired the second Phantom. “We cannot please our guest if we do not know what they want.”


“Perhaps we could provide some other food item!” the red Phantom suggested.

“But what food item should we offer?” the blue Phantom asked.

“Hmm, our female guest asked for something and we made her happy,” the first Phantom pointed out.

“Then tell us, guest, what food would you like?” the second Phantom demanded of Dante.

Dante glanced at his sister.

Who was still happily eating her way through the pile of cookies.

He released his transformation. “Well, I should let her finish eating, anyway. Got any pizza?” he asked.

“Pizza we shall provide!” the Phantoms proclaimed.

A large stack of pizza boxes from Dante’s favourite pizza shop landed in front of him. “Sweet,” he cheered happily as he popped open the first box and took a big bite of a slice.

“But to be good hosts, food is not enough!” the first Phantom stated. “We must do more!”

“Yes,” agreed the blue Phantom. “We must provide entertainment!”

“But what sort of entertainment should we provide,” asked the first Phantom.

“Perhaps you could be the straight man for some comedy,” the second Phantom suggested.

“A wondrous idea!” the red Phantom agreed. “Then I shall inquire about your baseball team! Who is on first?”

“That is correct!” the blue Phantom proclaimed.

About an hour later, after Sunset and Dante had both finished eating, with their enhanced bodies digesting the food at a rapid rate. The Phantoms had finished butchering every form of comedy and humour known to man throughout all history.

Then Sunset started to get restless.

“Brother!” the first Phantom shouted, interrupting one of their routines. “Our female guest is becoming restless. Do you suppose we are being too noisy and she desires a nap?”

Sunset was starting to get ticked off.

“If that is the case, we can sing her a lullaby,” the second Phantom offered as he turned to address Sunset. “Do you desire a lullaby?

“No,” gritted out Sunset. “I need ARGH!”

“What is an ARGH?” the first Phantom inquired. “I do not understand that word.”

“I believe it is a new language. But I too have no clue what it means,” the second Phantom conferred.

“She needs to go to the bathroom,” Dante pointed out. “She did just eat what had to be a truck full of cookies.”

“Of course!” the red Phantom proclaimed. “We provided food, but no methods for our guests to relieve themselves.”

“An oversight was must correct for both of them!” the second Phantom asserted.

“Potties we shall provide!” the two of them shouted together.

A tree dropped down from the ceiling, landing in front of Sunset, it had a curtain attached to it for privacy. 

A port-a-potty dropped down near Dante.

Sunset rushed to the tree and pulled the curtain shut.

Dante smirked. “You guys aren’t so bad as hosts,” he commented before stepping in to relieve himself.

“Did you hear Brother?” the first Phantom spoke up. “He said we are good hosts!”

“How wondrous!” the second Phantom agreed. “The Master would be so proud!”

After about five minutes, Dante and Sunset came out of their lavatories.

“You know,” Dante spoke up. “There’s one more thing you can do to be good hosts.”

“There is?” the red Phantom asked eagerly. “Tell us!”

“Name it and we will do anything in our power!” the second Phantom agreed.

“We-,” Dante pointed to himself and Sunset. “-want to go through that door there,” he pointed to the door being held by chains.

A menacing rubble filled the room.

“I don’t like the sound of that,” muttered Sunset.

“Our job here is to guard this door,” the first Phantom proclaimed.

“That’s right,” the second one agreed. “We cannot let you pass!”

With that, they jumped down.

“That's something you don’t see every day,” muttered Symbol as the Phantoms hit the floor.

“And coming from us, that's saying something,” added Dante as he punched the Devil Trigger Ring into the Gate Driver’s left slot. TRIGGER! DEVIL GO! DE-DE-DE-DEVIL! The Devil Trigger magic circle appeared from his Driver and moved back through him. “HENSHIN!” shouted Dante as he transformed into Kamen Rider Dante.

“Yeah,” added Sunset as she pressed down on the Wizard Driver’s left Shift Lever before scanning the Advance Ring across her Driver’s Hand Author. TOUCH TO ADVANCE YOUR CLASS! ADVANCE PLEASE! She held her left hand out in front of her as the Advance magic circle moved back through her. “HENSHIN!” transforming her into the Advance Style. Symbol thrust her right glove into the air. “COME! ADVANCE TIMER!” 

YES! MY MISTRESS!” Shouted the Crow Bit Phantom as he came shooting out of the air. He slammed into her right forearm guard and transformed into the Advance Timer.

Symbol turned the dial and pressed the thumb part inwards. ADVANCE TIME! SET UP! START! She turned to Grimm, Weapon, Mega and X. “Keep the other Phantoms off us!” she ordered them.

“Alright, my Master,” replied Grimm.

“Yes Master,” replied Weapon.

“Yes, Sir,” added Mega.

“Rodger!” responded X.

“My female pride still hates that,” muttered Symbol as she pressed the Wizard Driver’s left Shift Lever twice. TOUCH TO CAST THE NEXT LEVEL! ADVANCE B TIER SPELL! The emitters on her shoulder pauldrons glowed as she raced forward, circling around behind the red Phantom and driving her elbow toward his back. Only for the Phantom to spin around and block with his sword.

“Not bad,” commented Symbol as she pressed the Wizard Driver’s left Shift Lever once and held her left glove in front of her Driver’s Hand Author. TOUCH TO CAST THE NEXT LEVEL! ADVANCE C TIER SPELL! Yellow energy covered her right fist as the emitters on her forearm guards glowed. She pulled back her fist, only for the Phantom to jump into the air and come shooting back down, slamming his sword into the ground, sending out a wave of fire that knocked Symbol back.

“Ow!” grunted Symbol, she got back up as the red Phantom charged at her. She quickly hit the Wizard Driver’s left Shift Lever three times and scanned her left glove over her Driver’s Hand Author. TOUCH TO CAST THE NEXT LEVEL! ADVANCE A TIER SPELL! She crossed her arms as the emitters on her shins summoned yellow magical energy, forming a shield. Only for the Phantom to smash through it, slashing Symbol across her chest armour with his sword and send her skidding back.

Symbol hit the Advance Timer’s thumb inwards. BREAKER ADVANCE! The Breaker magic circle appeared in the air and Breaker Advance jumped out of it. She 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 BREAKER C TIER SPELL! The emitters on her forearm guards glowed as red energy blurred her left glove. She shot forwards and decked the red Phantom, only for him to block the punch.

Dante punched the Trigger Ring into the back of the Rebellion Magnum. ONE! DEVIL! MAGNUM STRIKE! Red energy gathered around the barrel as he fired off three bursts of red energy. The Phantom dodged each of them and closed the distance in a second, slashing Dante across the chest plate multiple times.

The Phantom grabbed Dante with his free arm and slammed the Kamen Rider into the ground. TWO! DEVIL! MAGNUM STRIKE! Only for Dante to shoot him in the face three times. The phantom shouted in pain as he staggered back.

BLOCKER ADVANCE!

Dante got back up and pointed the Rebellion Magnum at the ground as he punched the Trigger Ring into the back of it. THREE! DEVIL! MAGNUM STRIKE! He fired a blast into the ground that burst out in a pillar of red hot plasma.

The blue Phantom blurred away and appeared behind Dante, punching him with the sharp side of his blade so that Dante was sent flying into a wall. “Ha!” what do you think of that?” shouted the blue Phantom.

“What do you think of this!?” FOUR! DEVIL! MAGNUM STRIKE! A beam of red energy shot into the air, it arced down and slammed into the blue Phantom. An explosion washed through the area as the Phantom was sent flying back.

FIVE! DEVIL! MAGNUM STRIKE! “OH NO!” muttered the Phantom as five spheres of red energy were fired up into the air and arched down toward him.

*BOOM!*

BOUNDER ADVANCE!

Five explosions, so close together that they might as well have been a single sound, echoed throughout the Firestorm Chamber as the spheres detonated.

Suddenly, the blue Phantom rocketed out of the smoke and slammed into Dante, sending him shooting back in pain. Then the Phantom slammed him into the ground before kicking him up into the air. The blue Phantom blurred up and smashed Dante back into the ground. He spun his sword, creating a tornado that shot him down, letting him execute a flying kick to Dante’s back.

“DANTE!” Symbol was about to dash over to Dante when an arm grabbed her arm.

“Worry about yourself!”

Symbol turned, just in time to get punched in the faceplate by a sword and sent smashing into a wall. BLASTER ADVANCE! There was a flash of purple light from within the dust cloud. TOUCH TO CAST THE NEXT LEVEL! ADVANCE BLASTER C TIER SPELL! Then a barrage of purple spheres shot out of it. The red Phantom crossed his arms as the orbs hit him and exploded, shrouding him in smoke.

ADVANCE WEAPON TIME! Cried out the Advance Timer. 

Suddenly, the red Phantom came running out of the smoke, he dashed towards Symbol and Advance Blaster.

Advance Blocker saw this and pressed her Wizard Driver’s left Shift Lever once before scanning her left glove over her Driver’s Hand Author. TOUCH TO CAST THE NEXT LEVEL! ADVANCE BLOCKER C TIER SPELL! The emitters on her forearm guards powered up as a square shaped shield appeared in front of the red Phantom’s targets. He smashed into it and the shield cracked badly, but he was stopped.

Advance Bounder noticed her opening and pressed her 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 BOUNDER B TIER SPELL! The emitters on her shoulder pauldrons glowed as she bolted forward and kicked the Phantom into the air.

Where Advance Breaker was waiting.

She hit her Wizard Driver’s left Shift Lever three times then scanned her left glove over her Driver’s Hand Author. TOUCH TO CAST THE NEXT LEVEL! ADVANCE BREAKER A TIER SPELL! The emitters on her shin guards glowed with red energy. That energy was pushed into her right glove as she curled it into a fist. With a yell she brought it down, sending the Phantom shooting back towards the ground. Which he impacted with enough force to make a crater.

Symbol pressed the Advance Timer’s thumb inwards. BREAKER SWORD! Advance Breaker reached into a small Breaker magic circle that appeared to her right and pulled out the Breaker Sword.

“Did we do it?” asked Symbol.

“Congratulations,” stated the red Phantom cheerfully as he got back up.

“Oh come on!” shouted Symbol.

“I will now be taking you semi seriously!” with that his whole body flared up in red fire.

Meanwhile, Dante had gotten back up. “So you want to fight with speed? I can do that!” he switched the Trigger Ring into its Angel Mode and punched it into the Gate Driver’s left slot. TRIGGER! GO ANGEL! AN-AN-AN-ANGEL! He held his left glove out in front of him and the Angel Trigger magic circle appeared before going back through him.

Dante punched the Trigger Ring into the back of the Rebellion Magnum and pulled the trigger. ANGEL ONE! MAGNUM STRIKE! He fired a line of blue magical energy that shot forward and slammed into the blue Phantom, driving him back before the attack ran out of energy.

BLOCKER SWORD!

Then Dante punched the Angel Trigger Ring into the back of the Rebellion Magnum again as he ran around behind the Phantom. ANGEL TWO! MAGNUM STRIKE! Dante fired a circle of light blue spinning energy that shot forwards. The blue Phantom spun around and blocked the attack with his sword, but was still forced back as sparks came from the sword.

Dante got around behind the Phantom again and slammed the Angel Trigger Ring into the back of the Rebellion Magnum. ANGEL THREE! MAGNUM STRIKE! He fired a line of blue energy that shot up and sent the Phantom flying into the air from the force of the impact.

“Now’s my chance!” Dante spun the Trigger Ring back into its demon mode and slammed it into the Gate Driver’s left slot. TRIGGER! DEVIL GO! DE-DE-DE-DEVIL! Dante held his left glove out as the Devil Trigger magic circle moved back through him. Then he slammed the Trigger Ring into the back of the Rebellion Magnum. TWO! DEVIL! MAGNUM STRIKE! He took aim and fired three bursts of red energy that smashed into the Phantom’s back and exploded.

BOUNDER SWORD!

“Is that is?” asked Dante as the Phantom crashed back into the ground.

Then he got back up.

“Still got some fight left in you?” asked Dante.

“I will now be taking you at least a bit more seriously. You have my apologies for not doing so before now,” replied the blue Phantom as he was covered in an aura of wind.

Meanwhile, Symbol was sent flying back with sparks coming off her body as the fire Phantom hit her with a blazing sword strike. She looked up as the Phantom jumped into the air and came down with his sword covered in blazing flames.

Symbol hit the Advance Timer’s thumb inwards. BLASTER SWORD! Advance Blaster reached into a Blaster magic circle and pulled out the Blaster sword. 

“Advance Blocker, protocol alpha! Protect your creator!” ordered Symbol.

Advance Blocker jumped in front of Symbol and spun the Lower Giga Barrel before pulling the Blocker Sword’s trigger. BLOCKER SLASHING STRIKE! She slashed upwards, firing a beam of blue energy that shifted into a wall, blocking the Phantom and repelling him.

The Phantom landed on the ground and was about to charge. BREAKER SLASHING STRIKE! Suddenly, he was forced to turn around and block a water type slash from the Breaker Sword. “Ow! OW!” shouted the Phantom as he kicked Advance Breaker away. 

Advance Bounder dashed forward as she spun the Lower Swift Barrel and pulled the Bounder Sword’s trigger. BOUNDER SLASHING STRIKE! It was covered in green energy as she stabbed the Phantom in the chest. He shouted in pain as he let loose a wave of fire from his body that sent Advance Bounder flying back.

Symbol pressed the Advance Timer’s thumb inwards. ADVANCE SWORD! She reached into an Advance magic circle that appeared and drew the Advance Sword. ADVANCE PART TIME! Then she spun the upper barrel before pulling the Advance Sword’s trigger, stopping it on the Active magic circle. ADVANCE SLASHING STRIKE! Red lightning built up around the sword as she stabbed forwards, firing a bolt of red lightning from the tip of the sword that soared through the air and smashed into the red Phantom, sending him smoking.

“You now have my full attention. It has been a long time since I have had to fight someone of your power,” stated the red Phantom as blazing hot red flames burst into being around his body.

“He still had this much power?” questioned Symbol out loud.

The Phantom charged.

Meanwhile, Dante was getting his butt handed to him.

He was sent flying back by a tornado of wind as he switched the Trigger Ring into its angel mode and punched it into the Gate Driver’s left slot. TRIGGER! GO ANGEL! AN-AN-AN-ANGEL! The Angel Trigger magic circle appeared in front of Dante and moved back through him. He jumped into the air, the blue Phantom zipped under him and slammed the Trigger Ring into the back of the Rebellion Magnum. ANGEL FIVE! MAGNUM STRIKE! Dante took aim and fired a bolt of blue energy that shot down and moved along the ground. The blue Phantom spun around and deflected it.

ERROR! “Why?!” shouted Symbol.

Dante punched the Trigger Ring into the back of the Rebellion Magnum again. ANGEL SIX! MAGNUM STRIKE! Then he fired a tornado of light blue energy at the Phantom. It shot through the air, only for the blue Phantom to shoot it back at Dante with a wave of his sword. “Why did I think it was a good idea to attack the wind controlling Phantom with a tornado?!” demanded Dante as he was thrown into a wall.

ERROR! “Not again!”

Dante saw the blue Phantom charging at him and switched the Trigger Ring back into its Devil Mode. TRIGGER! DEVIL GO! DE-DE-DE-DEVIL! He transformed back into the Devil Trigger Style, but all he could see now as a blue blur zooming around slashing at his armor. Cracks started to appear all over his armor, his Devil Trigger Style was about to reach its limit.

ERROR! “Nearly there!”

Dante saw his opening as the blue Phantom came charging at him. He punched the Devil Trigger Ring into the Gate Driver’s left slot. GO! DEVIL! KICK STRIKE! His boot was covered in red energy as he kicked the Phantom in the stomach, sending him flying back into the red Phantom with red lightning crackling over his body

CERBERUS MOUTH! “YES!” shouted Symbol.

The purple Cerberus appeared and moved around Advance Blaster. It slammed into her back plate and transformed into three Cerberus heads that came out of her chest plate.

Then, before the red Phantom was able to do anything, the blue Phantom crashed into him.

“Blaster! Now!” roared Symbol.

Advance Blaster pressed her Wizard Driver’s left Shift Lever four times, then she scanned 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 emitters on her body shone, channelling purple energy into the three Cerberus Heads. 

“Blaster Impact!” ordered Symbol.

Advance Blaster fired a beam of ice, fire and lightning from each of the Cerberus Heads. The three beams combined and shot through the air, zooming toward the two Phantoms. 

“Move, brother!” shouted the red Phantom as he grabbed his brother and threw him to the side. He was transformed into a silhouette as the tri elemental beam washed over him.

A loud explosion burst through the area as the red Phantom exploded his sword spun out of the dust cloud and landed a short distance away. 

“You will pay!” shouted the blue Phantom as he ran for his brother’s sword.

“He’s going for the other sword!” shouted Dante, he took hold of the Trigger Ring, but red lightning sparked over his body, driving him down to one knee. “Gurk! Took too much damage!” he muttered.

“HURRY! BLOCK IT!” shouted Symbol as she and the Advance Style Energy Clones spun both of their sword’s barrels and pressed the triggers. ADVANCE STRIKE END SLASHING STRIKE! Shouted the swords as energy coiled around them. All five of them pulled back their swords, took one step forward and stabbed. The energy shot off them and transformed into a massive five coloured dragon that roared as it shot through the air towards the Phantom.

His hand closed around his fallen brother’s sword right as the dragon engulfed him. The dragon smashed into a tornado of wind fuelled fire and bit at it. Futilely trying to get through only for the tornado to grow in size and dispel the dragon with a final roar.

“No way,” muttered Dante in shock.

Symbol growled as she hit the Advance Timer’s thumb inwards. ADVANCE COMBINATION TIME! The Advance magic circle appeared behind her and lift her up into the air as the Advance Style Energy Clones were pulled up with her. She struck the Wizard Driver’s left Shift Lever three times. TOUCH TO CAST THE NEXT LEVEL! FULL ADVANCE A TIER SPELL! A storm of purple orbs winked in behind her as the emitters glowed. They shot forwards and the blue Phantom unleashed a barrage of slashes that dispelled all of them in sparks of mana.

“Oh this is getting stupid!” shouted Symbol. “Can we please go through!?”

The Phantom froze.

“Sunset there is no way that is going to work!” shouted Dante.

“Impossible!” denied the red sword.

Dante’s head whipped around to look at the Phantom.

“They know the magic word!” shouted the blue sword.

“Only Master Sparda knew the magic word!” proclaimed the red sword.

“Not to mention Mistress Eva!” shouted the blue sword.

“Of course!” confirmed the red sword.

SET! OPEN! R-E-B-E-L-L-I-O-N! Dante blinked as he shifted back into the Rebellion Style. “You knew our old man?” he asked.

“And our mother?” asked Symbol.

The swords gasped.

“You are the children of Master Sparda and Mistress Eva?!” demanded the red sword.

“They must be!” added the blue sword. “Look! The male wields one of the Master’s swords!”

“This changes everything!” they proclaimed together.

The chains around the door shattered, the Phantom’s statue bodies crumbled into a ball of red and blue light that hovered over to Symbol while the twin swords flung themselves into Dante’s gloves.

“We are yours to command, Son and Daughter of Sparda!” they proclaimed together.

“You have gotta be shitting me!” shouted Dante.

“This whole thing could have been avoided by telling you who we are?” asked Symbol.

“Yes,” replied both swords.

“I am Agni,” stated the red sword.

“My name is Rudra,” added the blue sword.

“Take us with you. We can be of great help,” requested both swords.

“Alright, on one condition,” replied Dante.

“What is it?” asked Angi.

“Name it,” replied Rudra.

“No talking!” ordered Dante.

“Fair enough, as you wish!” replied both swords.

Dante picked them up and tried out a few moves with the swords shouting and laughing. Then he knocked them together. “No talking!” he ordered more firmly.

“If you two want to talk then you can put your minds into this and come with me,” suggested Symbol.

The swords closed their eyes and looked to fall asleep.

“I’m guessing that was a yes,” muttered Symbol as she absorbed the orb.
> S2E6 Family Ties
> --------------------------------------------------------------------------

The lady that Dante and Symbol had met, after they defeated the Cerberus Phantom at the start of the tower, walked through a chamber that was lined with pillars.

She spun around as a Phantom passed between one of the pillars. “It looks like I can’t go any further as a human,” she reached into her pocket and pulled out a silver flip phone. She looked at it in thinny concealed disgust before opening it and tapping the number three, four times. THREE! THREE! THREE! THREE! SYSTEM READY! Then she hit the call button. LET’S HENSHIN! Boomed the phone in a loud cheerful voice. The lady threw the hand holding the Arsenal Phone into the air, holding it over her head. Music boomed out of the Arsenal Phone’s speakers before stopping.

“HENSHIN!” shouted the lady as she slid the Arsenal Phone into her belt buckle. The boom of drums came out of the Arsenal Phone as it cheered: ARSENAL! GO! GO! ARSENAL! The two pillars on each side of the belt’s buckle emitted a pair of black energy lines. They stopped under her breasts and joined before creating another line that went up between her breasts this then wrapped around her neck as a collar. The original two lines went up either side of her breasts and down her arms. The pillars on either side of her belt buckle created two more lines that went down the front of the lady’s legs.

Then the lines flashed, creating her armour.

When the black light cleared, she wore a black helmet with a silver mouth guard, her eyes were covered by a circle shaped visor that was coloured yellow, outlined in red and had a vertical red line cutting through it. She wore a black bodysuit with attached gloves and boots. The tips of the gloves were covered in silver armour and the soles of her boots were also protected by silver armour. She wore a silver square shaped chest plate that was outlined in red and cut in half by a vertical red line. She wore shoulder pauldrons, the top half of which were silver and the bottom half of them was black, the two halves are divided by a red line. Black forearm guards covered her forearms with a silver circle around the top and bottom of them. On the top silver circles was a black connector. She wore silver knee guards with a vertical red line cutting through them. Finally, she wore shin guards that were identical to her forearm guards with the connector being on the outside of the upper circles.

She was now Kamen Rider Arsenal!

She took the Arsenal Phone off her waist and tapped in a code as she ducked under a Pride Phantom’s scythe. ONE! FIVE! NINE! THREE! ARSENAL PISTOL! There was a flash of silver light as a silver pistol appeared in her right glove. It had a black Card Key Slot in the back of it with a black line leading from it to the tip of the pistol. She held it up and fired a round of black energy into the Phantom’s face. His mask cracked as he staggered back in pain from the force of the energy bolt.

Then Arsenal jumped over the Phantom’s scythe as he swung at her. She punched in another code before returning the Arsenal Phantom to her Driver. SEVEN! NINE! TWO! ZERO! BURST MODE! The Arsenal Pistol’s barrel opened across and she pulled the trigger, firing a burst of black energy bolts that slammed into the Pride Phantom’s face. He was sent flying back before he exploded.

Suddenly, Kamen Rider Arsenal tensed as she removed the Arsenal Phone from her belt, punched in another code and then slotted it back into her belt. NINE! ZERO! FIVE! SEVEN! SINGLE MODE! The Arsenal Pistol closed up and then the barrel extended forward. She spun around and fired two powerful bolts of black energy, before spinning back around and firing another bolt. All three of them smashed through a Pride Phantoms head, destroying all three Phantoms.

Arsenal jumped into the air, landing on the shaft of a Pride Phantoms scythe. She hopped up as another Pride Phantom stabbed the tip of his scythe into the wall, she landed on the blade. Then Arsenal leaned to the side as a Lust Phantom slashed down, she leaned back as a Pride Phantom slashed at her once more, the blade missing her faceplate by inches. Then she sprung back up, kicking all of the Phantoms away as she sat on the scythe blade she had just been standing on.

As the Phantoms got back up and approached her, Arsenal removed the Arsenal Phone from her belt, tapped in a code and then slotted it back into her belt. FIVE! FOUR! SEVEN! THREE! STICKY BOMB! She reached to her backplate as it opened and deposited a pair of spheres in her hands. She pressed them into the chests of two Pride Phantoms and shoved them back into a Lust Phantom. The bombs exploded, taking out all three of the Phantoms.

She jumped into the air, upside down. Kamen Rider Arsenal removed the Arsenal Phone from the Combat Driver and typed in a code before slotting it back in. SEVEN! FIVE! ZERO! TWO! SHOTGUN! The Arsenal Pistol vanished and black lines sketched an outline in the air before there was a flash of black light. A sleak, high tech pump action shotgun appeared in front of her. She grabbed it and took aim before firing a burst of shells that impacted the three Pride Phantoms which had jumped after her, blowing them apart.

She landed on another scythe as it stabbed itself into the pillar and glared at a Pride Phantom as he leapt toward her with an overhead slash. She removed the Arsenal Phone from the Combat Driver and typed in a code before slotting the Phone back into her Driver. ONE! TWO! FIVE! SIX! TIGHT MODE! She took aim as the Arsenal Shotgun’s barrel shifted into a narrower form. Then she fired three bursts in a tight spread that slammed into the Phantom, blowing him to kingdom come.

With that fight over, she took out the Arsenal Phone, pressed the end call button and walked away as her armour vanished.


With Dante, Symbol, Weapon, Grimm, Mega and X


The group ran into a room called the Mute Goddess Chamber and were instantly under attack by a horde of Phantoms.

“They sure didn’t waste any time!” shouted Dante.

“No, they did not!” replied Symbol. “Less talky talky and more fighty fighty!” 

“Yes, Sir,” mocked Dante as he was kicked in the shin.

‘Alright Angi, Rudra, time to earn your keep,’ thought Symbol as she slid the Swift Ring onto her left middle finger, hit the Wizard Driver’s left Shift Lever and then scanned the Swift Ring over its Hand Author. MAGICAL TOUCH HENSHIN! SWIFT PLEASE! DASH AWAY! She held her left glove up into the air as the Swift magic circle appeared and fell through her. 

She grabbed the Swift Blaster when two more Swift magic circles appeared. Out of which jumped a miniature version of the Angi and Rudra Phantoms. They leapt through the air and onto the Swift Blaster. “What the-?! Oh I remember this,” grinned Symbol. The Swift Blaster shone and floated out of her grip, transforming into a ball of yellow light. The orb then split in two and transformed into a pair of orbs, one was red and the other was blue. Symbol reached out and caught the orbs as they took on a solid form.

Now Symbol had two Swift Blasters. The left Swift Blaster had blue outlines and a drop down ammo chamber coming from the bottom of the handle. Coming from the end of the blaster’s barrel was a yellow blade of magic that pointed downwards. The right Swift Blaster had red outlines and a revolver type ammo chamber in the centre of it, coming from the end of the blaster was a blade of yellow magic that pointed forward. Both blasters had a half circle of yellow magic emerging from them, just before where their blades connected, protecting her gloves. On the side of each blaster was their name, Swift Agni for the red Swift Blaster and Swift Rudra for the blue Swift Blaster.

“Nice!” Symbol gave her new weapons a spin. Then the Wizard Driver glowed. SPEED THROUGH THE FIRE AND WIND! A new magic circle appeared above her, it was identical to the other magic circles, with the circle parts being blue while the rest of it was red. In the centre of it was an image of Agni’s and Rudra’s Phantom forms, coloured red and blue respectively. 

The magic circle fell through her, transforming her into the Swift Style’s new form. The runes around her faceplate had turned dark red and the metal they were carved into had turned dark blue. Her left shoulder pauldron had turned light blue with sky blue outlines, while the right shoulder pauldron had turned light red and had orange outlines. Each of her forearm guards had four ridges, the left were blue and the right ridges were red. The bronze inverted triangle in the centre of her chest plate had turned into a neon yellow S and was circle by two swords that were engraved into the chest armour, like a yin and yang logo.

She was now Kamen Rider Symbol, Swift Angi and Rudra Style.

“Nice!” commented Dante as he punched a Pride Phantom in the face, sending him flying into a Blood Gargoyle Phantom.

“Thanks,” replied Symbol as she pressed the Wizard Driver’s left Shift Lever then she scanned her left glove across her Driver’s Hand Author before holding the Swift Angi and the Swift Rudra in front of her Driver. MAGICAL TOUCH GO! SWIFT! C RANK SPELL! She took aim and fired a barrage of blue wind bolts from the Swift Rudra. They shot through the air and slammed into a Gluttony Phantom’s throat. The Phantom gagged as he clutched at his throat, stopping his sand breath attack.

“You sure are faster then the Swift Blaster,” Symbol told the Swift Rudra as she looked at the gun.

“Thank you for the compliment,” spoke the Swift Rudra.

Symbol jumped at little at that. “I shouldn’t be surprised that you can still talk after Cerberus. But I really was shocked by that,” she admitted.

“I apologize,” replied the Swift Rudra. “I did not mean to startle you.”

“No-,” began Symbol.

“MISTRESS! Incoming!” shouted the Swift Rudra.

“Woah!” Symbol ducked under a slash from the enraged Gluttony Phantom as he dashed towards her. She pressed down on the Wizard Driver’s left Shift Lever twice, blocked a slash from the Phantom with the Swift Rudra and scanned her left glove across her Driver’s Hand Author. Then she kicked the Phantom in the face after backflipping over a horizontal slash from the Phantom while holding the Swift Agni in front of her Driver. MAGICAL TOUCH GO! SWIFT! B RANK SPELL! Symbol took aim and fired a bolt of flame from the Swift Agni that slammed into the Gluttony Phantom’s face and exploded. The Phantom screamed in pain as his face was lit on fire before he was quickly killed by the flame.

“Gotcha!” smirked Symbol. Right before she was slashed across the backplate by a Blood Gargoyle Phantom. “Grimm! Thought you were supposed to be taking care of this!” shouted Symbol as she jumped over the Phantom’s claws and kicked him in the face.

“My apologies, Mistress,” replied the Kamen Rider in Bon Bon’s voice. 

“That one got away from us,” she added in Lyra’s voice.

“We shall take care of it now,” they stated at the same time.

“No!” ordered Symbol. “I’ll deal with this one! You take out the rest of them!” 

“As you command,” replied the Kamen Rider in her twin voices.

“That gets more and more creepy each time,” muttered Symbol as she blocked a claw that would have hit her faceplate and pressed the Wizard Driver’s left Shift Lever three times. She ducked and punched the Phantom in the family jewels as she scanned her left glove across her Driver’s Hand Author. The Phantom staggered back as Symbol held the Swift Angi and the Swift Rudra in front of her Driver. MAGICAL TOUCH GO! SWIFT! B RANK SPELL! Red fire swirled around the Swift Angi and blue wind gathered around the Swift Rudra. “Take this!” Symbol darted forwards and slashed the Blood Gargoyle Phantom several dozen times in the next second. Sparks flew from the numerous red and blue cuts she had carved into the Phantom.

The Phantom roared as Symbol turned around and walked away. He got up and was about to charge after her before he twitched several times and then exploded.

“That was easy,” muttered Symbol. Then she realised what she had just let slip out of her mouth. “Why did I have to jinx us?!” she groaned out loud.

Dante added the Eryx Ring to his left index finger and then slotted the new Ring onto his left ring finger. It was silver with a red and blue gemstone in the centre of it. The stone had a pair of swords engraved into it like a yin yang symbol. Dante punched the two Rings into the Gate Driver’s left slots. SET! OPEN! E-R-Y-X! The Eryx magic circle appeared from Dante’s Driver and moved back through him, transforming him into the Eryx Style as the Gate Driver glowed. ANGI AND RUDRA! LET’S GO! AGNI AND RUDRA! A new magic circle appeared, the circle parts were red and the rest of it was blue, in the centre of the magic circle was a red and blue sword. The two of them moved back through Dante, transforming him into his new Style.

The only change was that the right Eryx Gauntlet held Rudra’s sword form and the left Eryx Gauntlet held Angi’s sword form. He was now Kamen Rider Dante, Eryx Angi and Rudra Style!

Dante ran toward a Gluttony Phantom and slashed down with both of his swords. The Phantom blocked them and forced Dante back with a kick to the gut. Dante stumbled at slashed out, catching the Phantom with a wild swing that stopped his follow up attack. Dante punched the two Rings into the back of the Eryx Rudra. ONE! FIST STRIKE! Dante covered both of his swords in their respective elements before unleashing a cross slash. The Gluttony Phantom held up his scythe to block it, only for the polearm to shatter under the twin elemental force.

The Gluttony Phantom leapt back as Dante slashed at him before breathing out a sand attack. “Ha! Ha! Ha! Ha! Ha!” shouted Dante as he unleashed five slashes, the final three being in the shape of a circle. With each swing the two swords let off a burst of their elements, stopping the attack in its tracks. Dante punched the two Rings into the Eryx Rudra. TWO! FIST STRIKE! He took up a running stance as the two swords built up their elements. Then he started forward. “Huh REH!” shouted Dante as he unleashed a barrage of slashes that carved hundreds of cuts into the Gluttony Phantom’s body.

The Phantom pulled himself back to his feet, slowly and painfully. “Just die already!” shouted Dante as he pressed down on the trigger inside the Eryx Angi. FIST STRIKE! Blue and red magic energy twisted around his body before gathering in his swords. They were covered in their elements as Dante raced forward. “Jet Stream!” roared Dante, his arms blurred as he slashed the Gluttony Phantom a thousand times in less than five seconds. Sparks flew from the Phantom as he fell to his knees and exploded in a ball of fire. “That’s how it’s done!” Dante crossed his arms.

“Come on!” ordered Symbol as they ran to the centre chamber. There was a large statue with a device pointed at a wall on a circle shaped platform. Following where the statue was pointing, they saw that it was aimed at a door that was blocked shut by rubble. 

“Well, we can’t go that way, so let’s go this way!” Symbol ran through a door that was up a short flight of stairs.

Her Gem Maiden Servants followed.

“Wait for me!” shouted Dante as he ran after her.

In front of them were three doors, in front of each door was a small pillar with runic text written on it. In front of the three pillars was a fourth identical pillar.

“Any idea what these things say?” Dante asked his sister.

Symbol looked at the pillars. “No clue,” she replied. She turned to the Gem Maidens. “Can any of you read this?” she asked.

“Negative, Master” replied Weapon.

“No, Sir,” added Grimm.

“This is Phantom code, Mistress,” replied Mega.

“Can you two?” Symbol asked the Swift Agni and the Swift Rudra.

“Yes, Daughter of Sparda,” replied the Swift Angi.

“We can,” added the Swift Rudra.

“Then please do so,” she held them up to the white pillar.

“Passing one trial still show’s lacking,” spoke the Swift Angi.

“Passing two trials expands horizons,” added the Swift Rudra.

“Passing all trials unlocks one’s true potential,” the two of them finished at the same time.

“That answers exactly nothing!” shouted Dante.

“Guy’s explanation please?” asked Symbol.

“This is the Chamber of the three trials,” explained the Swift Angi.

“Each of those three doors makes up one trial,” added the Swift Rudra.

“Passing each one will get you an essence orb,” continued the Swift Agni.

“The first two will make the Goddess Statue in the last chamber blast open the blocked door,” continued the Swift Rudra.

“Completing all three will lower the beam emission point into a new weapon,” finished both guns at the same time.

“It feels like I’m in a tennis match! Make it stop!” shouted Dante.

“Don’t pretend that it would not have taken us ages to find out without their help!” snapped out Symbol. “Thanks you two,” she spoke to the Swift Angi and the Swift Rudra.

“Let’s go and do this one!” Dante ran into the centre trial.

“He could have at least waited for you two to read the pillar,” muttered Symbol as she and her Gem Maiden Servants followed Dante.

She ran into the Trial of Skill which was in the shape of a long corridor with holes lining it. “I don’t even need to play Tomb Raider to see what’s about to happen.”

Dante crossed the line onto the holes. Sparks sprayed from his armour as he was stabbed by the many spears that shot out of the floor. “Argh!” Dante was thrown back to the start.

“You three help him,” Symbol ordered her Gem Maiden Servants. “Can you two help me with this?” Symbol asked the Swift Angi and the Swift Rudra.

“Yes,” replied the Swift Agni.

“We can,” replied the Swift Rudra.

“We will provide when the spears are going to emerge!” they both shouted at the same time.

“Right!”

“Floor!”

“Ceiling!”

“Floor!”

“Right!”

“Ceiling!”

“Left!”

“Ceiling!”

“Ceiling!”

“Left!”

“Right!”

“Floor!”

“Floor!”

“Right!”

“Floor!”

“Ceiling!”

“Left!”

“Floor!”

“Right!”

Thanks to their help, Symbol was easily able to get to the end of the Trial and reach the red sphere aka the Essence of Technique. 

“Now I’ll need your help to get back,” stated Symbol. 

“Why?” asked the Swift Agni.

“What do you mean why?!” demanded Symbol. “I don’t want to be hit by spears!”

“Oh, you don’t need to worry about them,” replied the Swift Rudra.

“Why not?!” demanded Symbol.

“The Essence of Technique was powering them, without it the spears have gone inactive,” explained both guns at the same time. 

“What a relief,” Symbol started walking back, only to be hit in the backplate by a Blood Gargoyle Phantom.

“Which also summoned Phantoms to this location,” explained the Swift Rudra.

“Tell me that sooner next time!” shouted Symbol as she kicked the Blood Gargoyle Phantom in the face.

“We didn’t know!” explained the Swift Rudra.

Symbol backflipped away from a claw and slammed her glove down on the Wizard Driver’s left Shift Lever once. She jumped over another claw and kicked the Phantom in the face as she scanned her left glove across her Driver’s Hand Author. Then she twisted, avoiding a wing slash as she held the Swift Agni and the Swift Rudra in front of her Driver. MAGICAL TOUCH GO! SWIFT! C RANK SPELL! “Go flying!” shouted Symbol as she fired a barrage of wind blasts from the Swift Rudra. Sparks flew from the Blood Gargoyle Phantom as he was sent flying back. He turned to stone while still in the air and shattered on the ground.

“Huh,” Symbol blinked. “That was a lot easier than I thought it would be,” she muttered. Suddenly, three glowing lights appeared from Symbol’s belt and hovered in front of her. “What on earth?” muttered the Kamen Rider. The lights were silver, blue and brown. They slowly took on the forms of the Wing, Sniper and Turbo Rings.

Symbol was shocked for a second, then she steeled her nerves and thrust her right glove forwards, the Rings slotted themselves onto her right index, ring and little fingers. She pressed her Wizard Driver’s right Shift Lever and then scanned her right glove across its Hand Author. MAGIC TOUCHIE HENSHIN! WING SNIPER TURBO PLEASE!

All three magic circles appeared over her helmet and fell through her, transforming Symbol into her new Swift substyle. The Neon yellow S in the centre of her chest plate was surrounded by three logos, each was at the point of an inverted triangle. The right point logo was a pair of silver wings, while the left point was a blue lock on logo and the bottom point was a brown turbine logo. Coming out of her backplate were the white angelic Flight Wings and a jet turbine was positioned on each shoulder blade, these are the Boosted Flight Wings. The Sniper Rifle appeared in her hand, but it had a pair of jet turbines on its sides, this is the Boosted Sniper Shooter.

She was now Kamen Rider Symbol, Swift Agni and Rudra Style, Wing Sniper Turbo Substyle.

“Nice,” nodded Dante as he punched a Gluttony Phantom in the face.

“Thanks!” replied Symbol. “I am going to enjoy trying this out!” she dodged a slash from a Gluttony Phantom as she pressed the Wizard Driver’s right Shift Lever once. She dodged to the side and punched the Phantom in the face as she scanned her right glove over her Driver’s Hand Author. MAGIC TOUCHIE GO! WING MAGIC PLEASE! The Boosted Flight Wings glowed as they shifted into metal. She used one of them to block the Gluttony Phantom’s breath attack as her thrusters propelled her through it. Then she used the other Boosted Flight Wing to smash the Phantom into a wall and drag him through the wall before throwing him to the ground.

“Take that you-!” before Symbol could finish her insult, the Phantom threw his scythe at her, it clipped her in the side and sent her smashing into the ground. She got back up and had to use the Boosted Sniper Shooter to block a downwards slash. “Get off me!” Symbol kicked the Phantom back as she pressed the Wizard Driver’s right Shift Lever twice. “Final!” then she blasted the Phantom with two energy bolts, forcing him back as she scanned her right glove over her Driver’s Hand Author. MAGIC TOUCHIE GO! SNIPER MAGIC PLEASE! Blue energy raced up the Boosted Sniper Shooter before being shot out in a thin beam. It cut through the air and drilled a hole through the Phantom’s head, causing him to fall over and explode into a pile of ash.

Kamen Rider Weapon jumped away from a Blood Gargoyle Phantom before darting back in and punching him across the face, sending teeth flying. She removed the Dust Knuckle from the left side of the Weapon Driver and took the Crescent Rose Whistle out of the Knuckle. She replaced it with a new Whistle, it was pink and the head looked like a hammer. M-A-G-N-H-I-L-D! Weapon pressed the right side of the Dust Knuckle into her right palm before using it to punch the Blood Gargoyle Phantom away. R-E-A-D-Y! Then she reattached it to the Weapon Driver as the Blood Gargoyle Phantom flew at her. F-I-S-T O-N! The holographic suit of armour shot out of the Weapon Driver and knocked the Phantom away before slamming into Weapon.

The scythe and sniper rifle on her chest plate transformed into a pink warhammer and grenade launcher as the cross on her faceplate closed back up.

Weapon pressed the right side of the Dust Knuckle into the left side of the Weapon Driver as the Blood Gargoyle Phantom transformed into a drill of blood red energy. L-I-G-H-T-N-I-N-G H-A-M-M-E-R! She held out her left glove and there was a flash of pink light as a large warhammer appeared out of thin air. The Phantom charged as the second command kicked in. E-A-R-T-H D-U-S-T C-H-A-R-G-E! She pulled back the Lightning Hammer and slammed it into the ground, making a wall of rocks appeared. The Phantom slammed into the wall and bounced off with a pained roared.

While she had an opening, Weapon pressed the Knuckle into her Driver again. S-T-O-R-M G-R-E-N-A-D-E L-A-U-N-C-H-E-R! The Lightning Hammer folded and collapsed in on itself, transforming into the Storm Grenade Launcher. The Blood Gargoyle Phantom smashed into the wall again and this time he drilled through it. E-A-R-T-H D-U-S-T P-O-W-E-R-E-D! Weapon dodged to the side and fired a grenade, it smashed into the Phantom and drove him back before exploding violently. The whole place shook.

“Woah!” shouted Symbol as she stumbled around. 

“Watch it!” Dante snapped at Kamen Rider Weapon.

“For once, I agree with my Brother!” shouted Symbol.

“You have my apologies, Master,” replied Kamen Rider Weapon.

“Don’t call me Master!” shouted Symbol.

“Yes, Master,” replied Weapon.

“ARGH!” shouted Symbol in anger.

“That will never stop being funny,” stated Dante.

“Shut up!” roared Symbol.

They ran back into the room of Three Trials.

“Now this time let’s wait for Agni and Rudra to translate- DAMN IT DANTE!” shouted Symbol as her Brother ran into the room on the right.

Symbol ran after him, just in time to see a pair of wheel fire puzzles block the path to the essence.

Five Pride Phantoms jumped down from the ceiling, but something was different about them. Their bodies were covered in a black aura and their eyes were glowing.

“Only five Pride Phantoms?” scoffed Dante. “This should be easy!” he dashed forward with the Rebellion Blade drawn.

“Dante! Wait!” shouted Symbol. “Something’s not right!”

She was too late. Dante brought the Rebellion Blade down, only for it to bounce off the aura. “What!” suddenly he was smacked by the Phantom and sent flying back. “That was much more powerful than usual!” he stated in shock.

“Ok, I can accept that a Lust Phantom could do this, but how the hell does a Pride Phantom have a Phantom Trigger?!” demanded Symbol.

“What?!” shouted Dante.

“It is the magic of this trial!” explained the Swift Agni.

“You must light both crests in order to force the Phantoms back into their normal forms!” explained the Swift Rudra.

“Tell us that sooner next time!” shouted Dante.

“Your the one that ran on ahead!” shouted Symbol as she ducked under a slash and pressed the Wizard Driver’s right Shift Lever three times. Then she jumped back from a horizontal slash and scanned her right glove in front of her Driver’s Hand Author. MAGIC TOUCHIE GO! TURBO MAGIC PLEASE! The turbines on her shoulder blades moved and fired a blast of wind that forced the Phantom back several feet.

“That would have normally killed a Pride Phantom!” muttered Symbol in shock. The Pride Phantom ran at her and she ducked under a slash as she hit the Wizard Driver’s left Shift Lever four times. She stood back up, getting slashed across the chest plate in the process. “Argh!” Symbol staggered back, managing to scan her left glove over her Driver’s Hand Author. MAGICAL TOUCH GO! VERY NICE! SWIFT! S RANK SPELL! THE BEST! She took up a solid stance as the Boosted Flight Wings flared. “Rain of Feathers!” Symbol flapped the Boosted Flight Wings and fired a barrage of feathers. They shot through the air and sliced into the Pride Phantom, cutting him to pieces.

Or at least they would have if the aura hadn’t deflected all of them.

“Are you kidding me?!” shouted Symbol as the Pride Phantom raced forward and slashed her several times across. Sparks flew from her chest armour as she was sent flying backward. “Let’s give this a go!” Symbol switched the Wing Ring for the Arrow Ring. She jumped over a slash as she switched the Sniper Ring for the Blade Ring. She landed on the blade of the scythe, which had stuck itself into the wall, as she switched the Turbo Ring for the Zoomer Ring. Symbol booted the Phantom in the face, making him stagger back as she hit the Wizard Driver’s right Shift Lever once. Then she jumped off the scythe as she held her right glove in front of her Driver’s Hand Author. MAGIC TOUCHIE HENSHIN! ARROW BLADE ZOOMER PLEASE! Then Symbol held her right glove into the air.

The Arrow, Blade and Zoomer magic circles appeared in the air and fell through her. The Wing, Sniper and Turbo logos on her chest were replaced by the Arrow, Blade and Zoomer logos respectively. Her Zoomer Grieves appeared on her legs, while her left shoulder pauldron and arm guard turned into their arrow forms. Her right arm guard and shoulder pauldron turned into their blade forms. The Buzz Bow appeared in her gloves, only the bow part was burnt orange and the grip was coloured light green, this is the Blade Bow. 

She was now Kamen Rider Symbol, Swift Style, Arrow Blade Zoomer Substyle. 

Symbol quickly pulled back on the Blade Bow and fired a green bolt of energy that bounced off the Phantom’s aura. “Final!” Symbol hit her Wizard Driver’s right Shift Lever once. She jumped over a scythe slash as she scanned her right glove in front of her Driver’s Hand Author. MAGIC TOUCHIE GO! ARROW MAGIC PLEASE! Symbol pulled back on the Blade Bow and fired another arrow. This arrow shot through the air and transformed into a buzzsaw.

Symbol got ready for when this attack failed, only for the Phantom to lose his aura. He looked shocked by this, right before the buzzsaw cut his head in half, his body fell to the floor.

Symbol whipped around and saw that Weapon was standing by one lit wheel and Mega was standing next to another lit wheel. “Good job you two!” she called.

“We live to serve,” replied Mega.

“Thank you, Mistress,” replied Weapon.

B-E-O-W-U-L-F B-I-T-I-N-G! Grimm jumped back and slashed at that Pride Phantom that had come after her. The Beo Claws appeared in a flash of black mist as she slashed the Phantom, only for the protective aura to stop her assault. The Pride Phantom raised his scythe and was about to bring it down. M-A-G-N-E-T A-T-T-A-C-K! Only for Grimm to fire off a wave of magnetic energy that forced the Phantom’s scythe out of his grip.

While the Pride Phantom ran after his scythe, Weapon removed the Aura Knuckle from the left side of the Grimm Driver and switched out the Magnet Whistle for the Lightning Channel Whistle. Which was pink with a lightning bolt for a head. L-I-G-H-T-N-I-N-G C-H-A-N-N-E-L! She pressed the right side of the Aura Knuckle into her right glove as the Pride Phantom grabbed his scythe. R-E-A-D-Y! The Phantom came charging back as Weapon slotted the Knuckle back into her Driver. F-I-S-T O-N! The holographic suit of armour flew out and slammed back into her, transforming the magnet background of her chest armour into a pink lightning bolt background.

The Pride Phantom ran at Grimm and slashed down towards her as she dodged to the side. Then she pressed the right side of the Aura Knuckle into the left side of the Grimm Driver. B-E-O-W-U-L-F B-I-T-I-N-G! Black mist covered her arms and solidified into the Beo Claws. She used them to block another slash, only for her knees to buckle as she threw the scythe away. Grimm slashed the Pride Phantom several times, only for his aura to block each attack. L-I-G-H-T-N-I-N-G B-O-L-T! Weapon covered the Beo Claws in pink lightning before firing a pink lightning bolt from them. While the Pride Phantom was not harmed by the attack, he was still forced backwards several steps.

At that moment the Pride Phantom’s aura vanished.

He was startled.

Grimm did not hesitate to take advantage as she ran toward the Pride Phantom and pressed the Aura Knuckle into the Grimm Driver once more. B-E-O-W-U-L-F T-E-A-R-I-N-G! Her boots were covered in black mist as they transformed into the legs of a Beowulf. L-I-G-H-T-N-I-N-G S-T-O-R-M! Grimm leapt into the air and kicked out, firing a pink lightning bolt from the Beo Legs. It shot through the Phantom and electrocuted him from the inside out, causing him to explode.

Dante looked around and saw the reason for the Phantom’s aura shutting off. “Looks like you lot made yourselves useful for once!” he shouted.

“Dante, shut up!” ordered Symbol as she grabbed the green orb that was the Essence of Fighting.

They ran back out of the room.

“I don’t know why I’m surprised!” shouted Symbol as Dante ran straight into the final trial. She chased after her Brother and found herself in a room with four doors. Each of which had several red dots above it, one, two, three and four. “What do those dots mean?” asked Symbol.

Suddenly, Dante came running out of the single dotted door. “What the-?!” he shouted as he saw Symbol. “But I could have sworn I ran straight!”

“What are you talking about?” demanded Symbol.

Red barriers sealed up the doors.

“Just great! Nice going Dante!” shouted Symbol.

“What did I do?” asked Dante.

“You didn’t wait for me! We’re a team!” bellowed Symbol. “A family! We’re supposed to stay together,” Symbol slumped. “I’ve nearly lost you once before. I can’t lose you for real.”

“You’re right. I’m sorry,” apologised Dante. “I’ll try to keep with the group from now on!” he promised.

“Good!” replied Symbol as she dried her eyes.

The touching moment was spoiled when the Phantoms arrived.

“READ THE MOOD!” roared Symbol and Dante.

Symbol dodged back as a Lust Phantom charged at her. She pressed the Wizard Driver’s left Shift Lever once as she leapt over a sweep that would have cut her ankles off. “You’re taking the reaper image a bit too seriously!” she shouted as she scanned her left glove over her Driver’s Hand Author. MAGICAL TOUCH GO! SWIFT! C RANK SPELL! Symbol took aim with the Swift Agni and fired a bullet of red energy. It shot through the air and splattered the Lust Phantom’s skull.

“This is so much easier now that they don’t have that black protection!” shouted Dante as he caved another Blood Gargoyle Phantom’s head in.

“You won’t get an argument from me!” shouted Symbol as she hit the Wizard Driver’s left Shift Lever twice. She ran past a Pride Phantom as he tried to slash her and scanned her left glove over her Driver’s Hand Author. MAGICAL TOUCH GO! SWIFT! B RANK SPELL! She pointed the Swift Rudra at the back of the Pride Phantom’s head and unleashed a clip of bullets that destroyed him.

Symbol used the Swift Angi to block a slash from another Lust Phantom and then hit the Wizard Driver’s left Shift Lever three times. She forced the Phantom back and then parried a slash from the next Pride Phantom with the Swift Rudra as she scanned her left glove over her Driver’s Hand Author. MAGICAL TOUCH GO! SWIFT! A RANK SPELL! Both of the guns were covered in their elements as she darted forward and unleashed a barrage of slashes. A storm of sparks flew from the two Pride Phantoms before Symbol ended the combo on a single hard slash. The two Phantoms fell down and exploded from the damage.

Suddenly, Symbol tensed and jumped into the air as a Blood Gargoyle Phantom flew under her. “Nice try! SHIT!” Symbol looked up, just in time for another Blood Gargoyle Phantom to colid with her chest plate. She was pulled to the ground and the two of them rolled along it before stopping as Symbol kicked the Phantom off her. She had been able to press the Wizard Driver’s left Shift Lever three times and now she scanned her right glove over its Hand Author. MAGIC TOUCHIE GO! BLADE MAGIC PLEASE! The two Blood Gargoyle Phantoms lunged it, only to be forced back as a trio of buzzsaws appeared around Symbol, circling her as a shield. They cut into the Phantoms badly before the two Blood Gargoyle Phantoms were able to reverse their momentum.

“You are not getting away!” Symbol hit the Wizard Driver’s right Shift Lever three times and was slashed across the backplate by a Lust Phantom that dashed in from behind. “I’ll take you out too!” shouted Symbol as she scanned her right glove over her Driver’s Hand Author. MAGIC TOUCHIE GO! ZOOMER MAGIC PLEASE! The Zoomer Grieves glowed as she darted forwards, leaving behind an afterimage that the Lust Phantom slashed through, only to realise the deception too late. In the next second all three Phantoms were slashed five times. Symbol reappeared while flicking the Swift Agni and the Swift Rudra. All three Phantoms fell over and exploded as the delay on the damage was lifted.

LIQUID TUNE! Mega jumped into the air as a Sloth Phantom appeared behind her and slashed through the space she had just been standing in. She landed back on the ground and pulled out a new Whistle, it was coloured blue and the head looked like a ball of fire. She slotted it into the Mega Driver’s mouth and pressed down on the Driver. ATOMIC FIRE! Mega cupped both of her gloves and built up a ball of water. She raised the ball over her head and fired the orb forward. It roared through the air and smashed into the Sloth Phantom, driving him back and wrapping around him.

The Phantom was able to teleport away before he could be crushed and appeared behind Mega. FIRE TUNE! She transformed into her Fire Tune and blocked the scythe with her forearm as she slotted a new Whistle into the Mega Driver. It was red with the head being in the shape of a leaf, she pressed down on her Driver. LEAF SHIELD! Four burning leaves appeared around Mega, they joined together and blocked another swing from the Sloth Phantom’s scythe.

He gave out a rather creepy moan as he teleported around Mega at high speed, slashing her from every direction. Mega had no time to react as the Phantom was upon her in mere seconds. All Mega could see was a purple and white streak zipping around her, cutting into her armour. She quickly slotted the Light Tune Whistle into the Mega Driver and pressed down on it. LIGHT TUNE! She was covered in a sphere of orange light that transformed her into the Light Tune. Then Mega drew another Whistle. It was orange and its head looked like a needle, she slotted it into the Mega Driver’s mouth and pressed down. NEEDLE CANNON! Orange light gathered around Mega’s body before she threw her arms out, firing a storm of needles from her body. Several of them struck the Phantom and sent him flying backwards through the air. 

He skipped over the ground several times like a stone on the surface of a pond. The Sloth Phantom got back up and teleported toward Mega as she slotted the Liquid Tune Whistle into the Mega Driver and hit it. LIQUID TUNE! The Phantom closed the distance in three short bursts but was forced to stop as the shield of water appeared around Mega. Suddenly, she burst out of the shield and punched him in the chest before throwing a bomb at his face. It exploded with a loud bang and stunned him as she drew a new Whistle. It was blue and the head of it was shaped like a magnet. She placed it into the Mega Driver and pressed down. MAGNET MISSILE! Mega held up her right glove and fired a missile from it that was in the shape of a magnet. It shot through the air and pinned the Phantom to a wall, sealing his teleportation.

Mega slotted the Wind Tune Whistle into the Mega Driver and pressed down on it. THUNDER TUNE! She was covered in a sphere of wind as she transformed into the Wind Tune. She fired three blasts of energy at the Sloth Phantom as she drew a new Whistle. It was green and the head of it was in the shape of a laser. She fired a ball of energy and slotted the Whistle into the Mega Driver before pressing down on it. GEMINI LASER! Mega pointed at the Sloth Phantom with a single finger and fired a thin cutting beam. Three shots hit the Phantom, the ball of energy slammed into him and exploded. Finally, the cutting beam sliced off his right arm, making the Phantom roar in pain.

FIRE TUNE! Mega’s body was covered in red flames as she shifted back into the Fire Tune. She dashed toward the Phantom as she drew a new Whistle, it was coloured red and the head was in the shape of a fist. She punched the Sloth Phantom in the face and then slotted the Whistle into the Mega Driver. She uppercutted the Sloth Phantom into the air as she pressed down on her Driver. HARD KNUCKLE! Mega pulled back her right glove as she curled it into a fist before punching. Her fist flew off and shot through the air, smashed a hole through the Phantom and then returned to her arm. The Phantom had red lightning sparking over his body before he went up in a large explosion.

“Why me?” muttered Symbol. She turned to the Swift Agni and the Swift Rudra. “So what now?”

“Go through the door with four red dots,” explained the Swift Agni.

“Then through the door with two red dots,” added the Swift Rudra.

“Finally, go through the door with three red dots,” explained both guns at the same time.

“Why in that order?” asked Dante.

“They represent the phases of life,” replied the guns.

“Huh?” demanded Symbol.

“The four dots symbol a baby, when you crawl on all fours,” explained the Swift Agni.

“The two dots show an adult, when you walk on two feet,” added the Swift Rudra.

“Three dots show the last days of life, when you will need a cane to walk,” finished both guns at the same time.

“Huh,” replied Symbol.

“That’s dumb,” added Dante.

“Mistress Eva came up with it,” stated the two guns. 

“I take it back,” shouted Dante.

“That’ll teach him to think before he opens his big mouth,” chuckled Symbol as she took the blue orb that was the Essence of Intelligence.

They dashed back into the Mute Goddess Chamber, only to run into another Phantom horde.

“I’m really not surprise anymore,” stated Symbol as she dodged back, avoiding a Lust Phantom. Then she pressed the Wizard Driver’s left Shift Lever four times as another Lust Phantom closed in on her from behind. She jumped, making the two Phantoms crash into her as she scanned her left glove over her Driver’s Hand Author. MAGICAL TOUCH GO! VERY NICE! SWIFT! S RANK SPELL! THE BEST! Yellow magical energy covered her body as she pointed the Blade Bow into the air and pulled back on the arrow. Yellow energy was pulled into the Blade Bow as she took aim at the stunned Lust Phantoms. “Final Blade!” shouted Symbol as she fired an arrow and buzzsaw construct. Then she darted forward, kicking them both. The kinetic energy was transferred and they grew in size before shooting forward, the arrow shot through the first Lust Phantom and the buzzsaws cut through the second Lust Phantom. Both of them sparked several times before they both exploded.

Suddenly, Symbol bent into a split, avoiding another slash from a Sloth Phantom that had just teleported behind her. She ran toward a wall as she switched the Zoomer Ring for the Turbo Ring. The Sloth Phantom teleported in front of her and she slid under as slash as she hit the Wizard Driver’s right Shift Lever once. Then she ran up the wall, avoiding another slash as she scanned her right glove over her Driver’s Hand Author. MAGIC TOUCHIE HENSHIN! ARROW BLADE TURBO PLEASE! The Turbo magic circle appeared above her as she ran up the wall and then she dashed through it. The Zoomer logo transformed into the Turbo logo. The Blade Bow and the Zoomer Grieves vanished. Symbol held out her right glove as a green crossbow with orange outlines and a pair of brown turbines under it appeared.

She was now Kamen Rider Symbol Swift Style Arrow Blade Zoomer Substyle and she was armed with the Charged Saw Crossbow.

Symbol jumped off the wall and took aim at the Sloth Phantom. As he teleported in front of her she hit the Wizard Driver’s right Shift Lever once. Symbol kicked off the wall, dodging a slash as she scanned her right glove across her Driver’s Hand Author. MAGIC TOUCHIE GO ARROW MAGIC PLEASE! Symbol fired a saw made of wind, it shot down through the air and threw up sparks as it cut into the Sloth Phantom’s scythe.

“Now’s my chance!” Symbol pressed her Wizard Driver’s right Shift Lever twice as she landed back on the ground. Then she took aim at the Sloth Phantom as she scanned her right glove across her Driver’s Hand Author. MAGIC TOUCHIE GO! BLADE MAGIC PLEASE! Symbol took aim with the Charged Saw Crossbow and fired a pair of buzzsaws. “Final!” they shot through the air, spiralling around each other as they smashed into the Sloth Phantom. He shouted in pain as he was cut into by the saw until he went up in a loud explosion.

Then Symbol was forced to duck under a trio of blue arrows that an Enigma Phantom fired at her. She ran toward the Phantom as the other Kamen Riders continued their fights.

Speaking of which.

WATER TUNE! X jumped back as an Enigma Phantom shot at her. She fired a blast of water from her left glove, washing three blue arrows out of the air. She pulled out a new Whistle as she fired another blast, knocking the Enigma Phantom off balance. The Whistle was green and the head of it was in the shape of a buzzsaw. She slotted it into the X Driver as she summoned a barrier of wind, knocking a red arrow off course. Then she pressed down on her Driver. SPIN WHEEL! X slammed her right glove onto the ground and fired a buzzsaw that crawled along the ground towards the Enigma Phantom. He fired a red arrow that shot through the air and clashed with the buzzsaw.

The Phantom fired another three blue arrows into the air. X fired another blast of water, only for the arrows to cut through the wind. She switched the Water Tune Whistle for the Wind Tune Whistle before hitting her Driver. WIND TUNE! She was covered by a barrier of wind that blew all three arrows away from her. X punched forward, firing an orb of water that smashed into the Phantom, knocking him off balance. X drew a new Whistle, it was blue and the head was in the shape of a mine. She slotted it into the X Driver and pressed down as she avoided another red arrow. MAGNET MINE! Mega fired blue orb that shot through the air and pulled the arrows into it before exploding. The energy from the explosion was forced into a beam that slammed into the Phantom, knocking him onto his back.

EARTH TUNE! A sphere of earth surrounded X as she raced forward and pulled the Phantom to his knees, punching him twice. Then she drew a new Whistle, it was brown and the head looked like a crystal. She kneed the Phantom in the groin and then slotted the Whistle into the X Driver before hitting down on it. CRYSTAL HUNTER! X’s right glove transformed into a double sided crystal sword. She ran forward and slashed the Phantom, crystal spread over his body from the point that X had cut. X picked him up and threw the Phantom away, he flew through the air and smashed into the Mute Goddess Statue, shattering.

“I’m glad that thing’s not a real Goddess Statue,” commented Symbol.

“Why’s that?” asked Dante.

“I don’t want to be cursed!” replied Symbol.

“Are you sure it isn’t a real Goddess Statue?” asked Dante.

“DON’T SAY THAT!” shouted Symbol.

She ran up to the Mute Goddess Statue. “Here’s hoping you were right,” she slotted in the Essence of Fighting and nothing happened. 

“I knew it wasn’t going to work!” scoffed Dante.

Symbol gave him a look.

Dante shut up.

Symbol slotted the Essence of Technique into the second slot.

The Mute Goddess Statue fired a beam of purple energy that bore through the rocks in front of the exit. They were blown to kingdom come!

Symbol looked at Dante.

“Ok, maybe I need to think things through,” muttered Dante. “Now let’s go!” 

“First, let’s see what the third essence does,” replied Symbol as she slotted the Essence of Intelligence into the third and final slot.

The statue’s inner mechanisms caused it to fold inwards, lowering the beam emission point into reach. Revealing it to be a silver gun that could be strapped onto someone’s arm. It shot over to Dante and then fired a small ball of purple energy into Symbol’s Driver.

“That is Artemis!” the Swift Agni informed the Kamen Riders.

“It is a gun from the Phantom world,” added Rudra.

“It discharges arrows of concentrated energy!” they both proclaimed at the same time.

Dante turned his new weapon over in his gloves. “Interesting grip,” he noted. “What form do you think that ball of light change?” he asked his sister.

Symbol thought about it for a second. “Probably the Advance Style,” she replied to her brother’s question.

“Why that one?” asked Dante.

“It’s the only form that I don’t have a ranged weapon in,” she explained.

“Good point,” admitted Dante.

The group ran through the door and into the Dark Corridor, they ran around a corner.

Straight into a Phantom horde.

“I’m not even surprised anymore!” grunted Symbol.

“Tell me about it!” replied Dante.

“But Dante,” began Symbol.

Dante turned to look at his sister and saw that she was panting. “Sunset, what’s wrong?”

“We’re going to have to find a place to stop soon,” replied Symbol. “I need to rest.”

“Got it!” replied Dante.

Symbol switched the Arrow Ring for the Wing Ring and then pressed the Wizard Right Shift Lever. She jumped over an arrow from an Enigma Phantom and scanned her right glove across her Driver’s Hand Author. MAGIC TOUCHIE HENSHIN! WING BLADE ZOOMER PLEASE! Symbol held her right glove into the air as the Wing magic circle fell through her. The Wing logo in the right of her chest armour transformed into the Wing logo. Her Charged Saw Crossbow vanished in a flash of yellow light. Four metal bird wings burst out of her backplate. Each of them released a jet of red energy that took on the shape of an insect wing. 

She was now Kamen Rider Symbol Swift Style, Wing Blade Zoomer Substyle and was armed with the Bladed Wings.

Symbol dodged a slash from a Gluttony Phantom and hit the Wizard Driver’s right Shift Lever once. She saw a Wrath Phantom staggering towards her and scanned her right glove across her Driver’s Hand Author. MAGIC TOUCHIE GO! WING MAGIC PLEASE! Her Bladed Wings were covered in silver magical energy as they started to vibrate. The sound waves that they released caused the Wrath Phantom’s bomb to crack before going up in a large explosion. The Gluttony Phantom had not expected the explosion and was sent flying forward with a badly burned back.

“Ha! You weren’t expecting that! Were you?” shouted Symbol. The Gluttony Phantom got up and ran at her. “Eep!” Symbol would deny to her dying breath that she made that noise. She hit the Wizard Driver’s right Shift Lever twice. The Gluttony Phantom swung at her, she scanned her right glove across her Driver’s Hand Author. MAGIC TOUCHIE GO! BLADE MAGIC PLEASE! Just before the scythe could make contact, Symbol flapped the Bladed Wings, firing a barrage of feathers that shot through the air and slammed into the Gluttony Phantom. He felt like he had been punched by a giant fist as he flew back through the air and went up in an explosion.

Suddenly, Symbol was struck from all sides by four Lust Phantom that had materialized. She shouted in pain as she hit the Wizard Driver’s right Shift Lever. She was slashed again, bringing her down to one knee as she scanned her right glove over her Driver’s Hand Author. MAGIC TOUCHIE GO! ZOOMER MAGIC PLEASE! The insect wings of the Bladed Wings glowed as Symbol vanished, resulting in the Phantoms hitting each other. Sparks came from the contact point as the Phantom looked around in confusion.

They forgot to look up.

Symbol hovered in the air as she hit her Driver’s left Shift Lever four times. “Let’s see how you like this,” she scanned her left glove across her Driver’s Hand Author. COME ON A BLAST SHAKE HANDS! SWIFT! BLASTER STRIKE! Symbol’s body was covered in yellow magic energy as she started spinning, firing a barrage of feathers. They shot down through the air and exploded when they hit anything. Even the feathers that didn’t hit the Lust Phantoms were doing some damage as the Phantom fell over and turned to dust.

“Watch it!” shouted Dante as he avoided an explosion.

“Sorry!” shouted Symbol. “New command!”

“WATCH OUT!” shouted Dante as he pointed behind her.

Symbol turned around and saw a Lust Phantom lunging toward her. It was too late for her to reach her Driver.

EBONY AND IVORY STRIKE! A pair of Dolphins shot past her and slammed into the Phantom, they exploded, destroying him.

Symbol turned to Dante. “Thanks.”

“You’re welcome,” replied Dante as they continued onward.


Near the top of the tower


The lady that the group had met after defeating the Cerberus Phantom was sitting on a rock. She finished working on the Arsenal Pistol, pulling open the back of it and fiddling around with some wires. There was a loud humming sound as gun powered back up. “Finally,” muttered the lady as she got back up and started to walk back inside.

“Well, well,” spoke Arkham from behind her.

The lady pulled out the Arsenal Phone, punched in the transformation code and slotted it back into her Driver. THREE! THREE! THREE! THREE! SYSTEM READY! LET’S HENSHIN! ARSENAL! GO! GO! ARSENAL! The lines spread through her before flashing as she transformed back into Kamen Rider Arsenal. ONE! FIVE! NINE! THREE! ARSENAL PISTOL! The Arsenal Pistol appeared and she spun around pointing it at Arkham.

“You’ve grown stronger,” he commented.

“Go to hell!” snarled out Kamen Rider Arsenal.

“You point a gun at me?” asked Arkham. “Your own kin? Your dear papa?” 

SEVEN! NINE! TWO! ZERO! BURST MODE! “The only family I ever had was my mother and she’s dead!” snapped out Arsenal. She fired several shots, only for her eyes to widen behind her helmet as she saw that Arkham had vanished.

“You break my heart!” called out Arkham mockingly his voice coming from everywhere and nowhere at the same time. 

Arsenal looked around.

“After all, it was I who gave you your name!” shouted Arkham.

Arsenal pointed the Arsenal Pistol up.

“My darling Daughter,” finished Arkham, who was standing on the ceiling, upside down!

Arsenal was shocked.

That was her biggest mistake.

Arkham dropped his book onto her faceplate, blinding Arsenal for half a second. He appeared in front of her, grabbed her arm, caught his book and threw her over the edge of the tower.

Arsenal opened fire frantically, hoping to take him to the afterlife with her.

A single bolt grazed the side of Arkham’s face, he reached up and rubbed the blood away before approaching the edge of the tower.

Arsenal glared at him with utter hatred in her eyes as she fell to her death.
> S2E7 A Chance Meeting
> --------------------------------------------------------------------------

Kamen Rider Arsenal continued to fall through the air, she got ready to stop her fall against the side of the tower. 


With Symbol, Dante, Weapon, Grimm, Mega and X.


The group of Kamen Rider’s reached the outside of the tower and stopped for a break.

Symbol dropped down onto a rock as she shifted back into her human form: Sunset Shimmer Sparda.

Weapon, Grimm, Mega and X took up guarded positions around their Mistress as they separated back into Lightning Dust, Gilda, Lyra, Bon Bon, Twilight, Rarity, Rainbow Dash, Fullyshy, Applejack and Pinkie Pie.

Dante approached the edge of the ledge they were standing on, he was about to release his transformation when he sensed something unexpected.

Dante looked up and saw something that he had never seen before. Given what he was and what he does, that’s saying something. He reached out and grabbed Kamen Rider Arsenal by her booted foot as she fell head first towards the ground.

SEVEN! FIVE! ZERO! TWO! SHOTGUN! She promptly pointed the Arsenal Shotgun at Dante’s chin.

Dante paid the deadly weapon pointed at his faceplate no mind as he demorphed. “Well, well,” he said in amusement. “This is my kind of rain. No wonder the sky looked so funny today.”

“That was horrible,” muttered Sunset.

“Very unusual,” the Swift Agni agreed with Dante as he appeared on Sunset’s thigh. “Isn’t the song: It’s Raining Men?”

“You can come out when I’m not transformed?!” demanded Sunset.

“She is a man,” pointed out the Swift Rudra as he appeared on Sunset’s other thigh. “She is merely a female member of the species.”

“Now look what you’ve done!” Sunset shouted at her Brother.

“But the song refers specifically to the masculine gender,” the Swift Agni explained to his Brother. “She is a Woman!”

“No balls,” the Giga Cerberus agreed as he appeared on Sunset’s back.

Dante groaned, putting his free hand to his face.

Sunset giggled at her Brother’s discomfort. “Serves you right for making such a bad joke,” she turned to the lady, who was still dangling from Dante’s hand and waved. “Yo!”

The lady, for her part, lowered her guns. She had been about to demand that Dante let her go but had been taking off guard by that little comedy routine. “You can put me down now,” she grimaced.

Smiling, Dante took a step back and set her down on the platform, letting her get to her own boots. 

She released her transformation to save power.

“Hey, you’re the lady from the bottom of the tower!” Sunset recognized her instantly. 

“At your service,” said Dante jokingly. 

The lady chuckled and turned to leave.

“Now, now, what’s your rush,” Dante asked, dancing around into her path. “I did just save you from a grisly fate, after all.”

“I had it under control,” she countered.

“I’m sure you did,” teased Dante.

"Brother!" the Swift Rudra spoke up. "The young Master's pheromones indicate he wishes to mate with the female!"

"You are correct!" the Swift Angi agreed with his brother.

Dante groaned, knowing something embarrassing was about to happen. 

"As good hosts, we must facilitate his amorous endeavours! The Old Master would wish that of us!" stated the Swift Rudra.

"Indeed!" the Swift Agni concurred.

‘Yeah, my old man would want you to embarrass me if I tried to get anywhere with a pretty girl,’ Dante privately agreed.

"How shall we facilitate?" asked Swift Angi.

"Perhaps some appropriate music?" Swift Rudra suggested.

"Capital idea!" Swift Agni concurred. "Have you a song in mind?"

"Indeed I do!" Swift Rudra proclaimed. "Cerberus! You shall accompany us musically!"

“Oh dear,” groaned Sunset.

Swift Angi, Swift Rudra and Giga Cerberus began to perform a version of Kiss the Girl.

Dante groaned, burying his face in his hands.

Sunset fell off her rock, laughing her ass off.

The lady chuckled again. “Sorry, my life’s crazy enough as it is without joining this crazy train,” she said, turning to leave.

Dante just groaned again in despair.

As the lady left, Swift Agni spoke up. “You think we succeeded, Brother?”

“I do not know!” Swift Rudra proclaimed. “Mistress, what are your thoughts?”

“Bye sister,” Sunset managed to say before she broke down laughing again.

“Success!” Swift Agni proclaimed.

“Indeed!” Swift Rudra agreed. “Young Master? Why are you banging your head against the wall? The head’s of our sword forms make much more effective hammers!”

Dante groaned in response.

“Balls!” Giga Cerberus appropriately commented.

Sunset managed to stop laughing long enough to follow Dante through the door.

Dante 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 held her right hand in front of her belt buckle as well. DRIVER ON PLEASE! The magic circle appeared and transformed her belt buckle into the Wizard Driver.

Gilda stepped forward, and in a flash of golden light, the Weapon Driver appeared around her waist. She drew the Crescent Rose Whistle and slotted it into the Weapon Driver. C-R-E-S-C-E-N-T R-O-S-E!

Lyra walked forward, and in a blast of black light, the Grimm Driver flashed in around her waist. The Beowulf Whistle appeared in her right hand and she slotted it into the Grimm Driver. B-E-O-W-U-L-F! 

Lightning Dust stepped to up Gilda’s left and held out both of her hands. The Dust Knuckle and the Fire Dust Whistle appeared. The Blond haired Gem Maiden slotted the Fire Dust Whistle into the Dust Knuckle. E-A-R-T-H D-U-S-T! Then she pressed the right side of the Dust Knuckle into her right palm. R-E-A-D-Y!

Bon Bon walked up to Lyra’s right, she thrust both hands forward and there was a blast of black light. The Aura Knuckle and the Rose Speed Whistle appeared. She slotted the Rose Speed Whistle into the Aura Knuckle. R-O-S-E S-P-E-E-D! Bon Bon slammed the left side of the Aura Knuckle into her left palm. R-E-A-D-Y!

Applejack stepped forward and drew the Fire Tune Whistle as the X Driver appeared around her waist. She slotted the Whistle into the Driver and pressed down on it. FIRE TUNE! A pair of chains emerged from the Driver, they stabbed into the chests of Twilight Sparkle and Rainbow Dash. Neither girl did anything as their bodies were broken down into quicksilver and pulled down the chains.

Pinkie stepped forwards and drew the Fire Tune Whistle as the chains wrapped around her waist, turning solid and transforming into the Mega Driver. She slotted the Whistle into the Driver and pressed down on it. WATER TUNE! A pair of chains emerged from the Driver, they stabbed into the chests of Rarity and Fluttershy. Neither girl said anything as their bodies were transformed into quicksilver and pulled down the chains toward Pinkie Pie.

Sunset pressed the Wizard Driver’s left Shift Lever, turning the Hand Author to the left before she scanned the Active Ring across her Driver’s Hand Author. MAGICAL TOUCH HENSHIN! ACTIVE PLEASE! LET’S GO! She held her left hand out to the side, the Active magic circle appeared and moved through her. Transforming Sunset Rose Sparda into Kamen Rider Symbol Active Style.

Dante punched the Rebellion Ring into the Gate Driver’s left slot. SET! OPEN! R-E-B-E-L-L-I-O-N! The Rebellion magic circle appeared as the Gate Driver opened and moved back through Dante, transforming him into Kamen Rider Dante, Rebellion Style.

Janice 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 from Gilda’s Driver and then moved back, combining Lightning Dust and Gilda into Kamen Rider Weapon.

Bon Bon slammed 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 moved out of Lyra’s Driver and slammed into them. Lyra and Bon Bon were combined into Kamen Rider Grimm.

The quicksilver finished its journey and washed over Pinkie Pie, transforming her into Kamen Rider Mega in a flash of fire.

The same thing happened to Applejack, only her transformation took place within a blast of sea green water.

The group ran further into the tower, coming to a room that looked like it went up to the top of the tower and down five stories. There was a magic circle at the corner of the floor the group was on.

“Let’s head up,” stated Dante as he moved toward the magic circle.

“Ok,” replied Symbol. MAGICAL TOUCH HENSHIN! SWIFT PLEASE! DASH AWAY! SPEED THROUGH THE FIRE AND WIND! All of a sudden, the Swift and Firestorm magic circles appeared over Symbol’s helmet and fell through her. Transforming her into the Swift Firestorm Style. “What the hell!?” 

“Why’d you change forms?” asked Dante.

“I DIDN’T!” Symbol pulled out Swift Angi and Swift Rudra. “Did you two do this?” she asked.

“Yes, Mistress,” replied Swift Agni. “I recommend going down before you head up.”

“There will be something in the next chamber that you will need when you go upward,” confirmed Swift Rudra.

“We have to go down now?” demanded Dante. “After all that climbing?!”

“You will need something from the Divine Library before you can continue,” Swift Angi pointed out.

“Let’s just get going,” Symbol jumped off the edge and down to the ground.

Dante groaned as he followed.

They ran through a door at the bottom of the Heaven Rise Chamber and into a large library. It was shaped as a long corridor with a glowing item at the far end. Posted all around the chamber were Pawn Phantoms.

“Don’t fight them!” ordered Symbol. “Just run!”

They dashed forward, only for the Pawn Phantoms to block their path.

“Well that didn’t work!” shouted Dante as he jumped back to avoid a slash.

“I CAN SEE THAT!” roared Symbol. She jumped over a slash, switching the Swift Ring for the Giga Ring, she hit the Wizard Driver’s left Shift Lever. Symbol rolled under a slash as she scanned her left glove across her Driver’s Hand Author. MAGICAL TOUCH HENSHIN! GIGA PLEASE! BREAK THROUGH! She held her left glove down to the ground as the Giga magic circle appeared under her boots. It rose up through her as the Cerberus Phantom Familiar rose out of a smaller Giga magic circle. He jumped onto the Giga Axe as it materialized and they combined into the Giga Cerberus. Symbol grabbed her new weapon out of the air as the Guardian magic circle appeared under her boots. SMASH THE ICE! It rose up through her, transforming her into the Giga Guardian Style. A Pawn Phantom marched forward and slashed her across the chest armour. Doing no damage thanks to the thickness of the armour. “You’re going to have to do a lot better than that!” Symbol pressed the Wizard Driver’s left Shift Lever once. She scanned her left glove as she tanked another slash. Then she knocked a third slash away before holding the Giga Cerberus vertically so that the collar was in front of her Driver’s Hand Author. MAGICAL TOUCH SPELL! GIGA CERBERUS C RANK SPELL! Ice white energy built up around the hammer part of the Giga Cerberus as Symbol pulled him back and slammed him on the ground. The Pawn Phantom had no time to do anything as he found himself flash frozen in a block of solid ice.

Then Symbol pressed the Wizard Driver’s left Shift Lever once. She blocked a slash and grabbed the attacking Pawn Phantom, throwing him into another Pawn Phantom, as she scanned her left glove across her Driver’s Hand Author. MAGICAL TOUCH SPELL! GIGA C RANK SPELL! Symbol held up her right glove and clenched it, the limb was covered in green energy. She pulled her fist back and punched the ice cube. Cracks spread through it as the cube shattered, taking the Phantom with it.

Symbol added the Bombardment, Drill, High Speed and Quake Rings to her right glove before hitting the Wizard Driver’s right Shift Lever. She kicked a Pawn Phantom back and then scanned her right glove across her Driver’s Hand Author. MAGIC TOUCHIE HENSHIN! BOMBARDMENT DRILL HIGH SPEED QUAKE PLEASE! Symbol held her right glove down to the ground as the four magic circles appeared and rose up through her. The Bombardment logo appeared in the upper right corner of her chest armour, while the Drill logo appeared in the upper left. The High Speed logo appeared in the lower left of her chest armour and the Quake logo flashed into the lower right of her chest armour. A dark blue cannon with purple outlines and an orange piston on top of it appeared on her backplate. The cannon had four barrels that looked like they were able to rotate and a purple spiral pattern was printed on the outside of each barrel.

Symbol dodged back and punched a Pawn Phantom in the face. “Ha!” she pressed down on the Wizard Driver’s right Shift Lever once. Then she kicked the Phantom back as she scanned her right glove across her Driver’s Hand Author. MAGIC TOUCHIE GO! BOMBARDMENT MAGIC PLEASE! “Eat lasers!” shouted Symbol as the Rapid Impact Spiral Cannon took aim and fired four beams of blue energy that joined into a single, larger beam. It slammed into the Pawn Phantom and drove him through a wall. The Phantom sparked before he went up in a large explosion.

Suddenly, Symbol was slashed by three Pawn Phantoms, doing a little bit of damage. “That will not work!” Symbol pressed the Wizard Driver’s right Shift Lever twice as she kicked one of the Pawn Phantoms back. Then she scanned her right glove over her Driver’s Hand Author as she uppercutted another of the Pawn Phantoms into the air. MAGIC TOUCHIE GO! DRILL MAGIC PLEASE! The Rapid Impact Spiral Cannon took aim and fired four beams of purple magic energy. They joined together and merged into a single beam that smashed into the Pawn Phantom which Symbol had not hit away. Sparks were ground out of the Phantom as he was driven back before the beam drilled a hole straight through his chest. The Pawn Phantom looked down at the hole and then exploded.

Symbol noticed that the two Pawn Phantoms she had hit away had gotten back up and were running at her. She pressed the Wizard Driver’s left Shift Lever four times and then used a leg sweep to kick the Phantoms away again. She scanned her left glove over the Wizard Driver’s Hand Author as she punched a third Pawn Phantom in the face. MAGICAL TOUCH GO! VERY NICE! GIGA! S RANK SPELL! THE BEST! Green energy started to build up in the Rapid Impact Spiral Cannon as Symbol grabbed the Pawn Phantom by the head. “Go join your friends!” she threw him into the other two Pawn Phantoms, that had just gotten back up, knocking them over like bowling pins. Symbol took aim, she got down on one knee to stabilize the cannon and held it with both gloves. “Now! Spiral Blast! Fire!” ordered Symbol as the Rapid Impact Spiral Cannon started spinning, then it fired four beams of green energy that merged into a single beam which shot up through the air. Then the beam arced down, unravelling into four beams that tore through the three Pawn Phantoms. Mico explosions went off around them, sparks bled from their wounds before the Phantoms fell over and each of them went up in an explosion.

At that moment, Dante punched the two Rings on the Eryx Angi into the Eryx Rudra’s slot. THREE! FIST STRIKE! Dante slammed the two weapons together as two Pawn Phantoms lunged at him. Dante raised the swords over his helmet and started spinning them. This generated a whirlwind of wind powered fire. The two Phantoms were pulled into it and burned into ash.

“Hey!” shouted Symbol. “Watch it!”

“Sorry,” replied Dante as he landed back on the ground. “I’m still getting used to these!” he held up the Eryx Agni and the Eryx Rudra.

“Well, be more careful in the future!” shouted Symbol as she blocked a slash with her knee guard and palm struck the Pawn Phantom in the face.

“I said I was sorry!” shouted Dante as he dashed forward and slashed a Pawn Phantom over a hundred times with one hundred and eighty degree swings. Then he ended the combo in a kick that sent the damage Pawn Phantom flying back, where he shattered against the ground. Dante quickly punched the Rings on the Eryx Agni into the back of the Eryx Rudra. FOUR! FIST STRIKE! Dante ran forward and slashed a Pawn Phantom into the air. “Blast off!” the Kamen Rider jumped after the Phantom and slashed him four times before rolling in the air, slashing the Pawn Phantom dozens of times, causing the Phantom to shatter in the air.

Dante landed on the ground. “These Phantom’s might not be strong, but there sure are a lot of them!”

“Tell me something I don’t know!” Symbol pointed out.

Suddenly, a red rock appeared out of thin air.

“All that for a rock?” demanded Dante.

“It might come in handy later,” pointed out Symbol.

“Bah! We should have just ignored that crazy blaster!” growled out Dante.

MAGICAL TOUCH HENSHIN! SWIFT PLEASE! DASH AWAY! Suddenly, the Swift magic circle appeared over Symbol’s helmet and fell through her. The Swift Blaster dropped out of a smaller Swift magic circle as Symbol finished transforming into the Swift Style. A small Swift Magic circle appeared, the Angi and Rudra Phantom Familiars jumped out of it and combined with the Swift Blaster when Symbol caught it. SPEED THROUGH THE FIRE AND WIND! The Firestorm magic circle appeared above Symbol and dropped down through her, transforming her into the Swift Firestorm Style as the Swift Blaster transformed into the Swift Angi and the Swift Rudra.

“You are correct, Daughter of Sparda,” explained Swift Rudra.

“That Orihalcon Fragment will be useful near the top of the tower,” added the Swift Angi.

Symbol gave her brother a pointed looked.

“I’ll believe it when I see it,” snorted Dante.

Symbol rolled her eyes.

They ran out of the Divine Library and back into the Heavens Rise Chamber.

Symbol used the magic circles to bounce to the top of the Heaven Rise Chamber. Then she nearly died from laughter as Dante kept crashing into walls on the way up.

“Yeah, yeah, laugh it up,” muttered Dante. “I’ll find it funny when something like this happens to you.”

Symbol just giggled as the group ran through the Pitch Black Void. They took a right turn, ran up some stairs and then darted through a blue door.

The door lead to the Skull Spire Corridor, where Phantoms had been awaiting their arrival.

“Let’s do this!” shouted Symbol. She added the Wing, Sniper and Zoomer Rings to her right glove as she dodged back. Symbol pressed down on the Wizard Driver’s right Shift Lever as she jumped over a slash, she landed on the ground and scanned her right glove in front of her Driver’s Hand Author. MAGIC TOUCHIE HENSHIN! WING SNIPER ZOOMER PLEASE! Symbol held her right glove into the air as the three magic circles appeared and fell through her. The Wing logo appeared in the upper right of her chest plate, while the Sniper logo flashed into the upper left of her chest armour, finally the Zoomer logo winked into the bottom of her chest armour. Two white wings burst out of her backplate with a pair of thin cannons appearing over her shoulder pauldrons. The cannons and wings were both coloured red, these are the Fast Wing Shooters.

“Oh! Oh! YEAH!” shouted Symbol as she flew to the side, kicking a Pawn Phantom in the butt. She hit the Wizard Driver’s right Shift Lever as she flew into the air. Symbol scanned her right glove over her Driver’s Hand Author as she zoomed down and swept under a slash. MAGIC TOUCHIE GO! WING MAGIC PLEASE! Symbol landed on the ground and spun around as her wings turned to solid steel. She crossed them and blocked a slash from a Pawn Phantom before she used the opening to kick the Phantom back.

“Let’s see how you like this!” Symbol fired both of the cannons at the Pawn Phantom as she hit her Driver’s right Shift Lever twice. She darted forward and punched the Phantom in the face as she held her right glove in front of the Wizard Driver’s Hand Author. MAGIC TOUCHIE GO! SNIPER MAGIC PLEASE! Symbol backflipped, kicking the Pawn Phantom in the chin, sending him flying into the air. She aimed both of the cannons and fired two bolts of blue energy that cut through the air and then through the Phantom. Blue lightning sparked over the Pawn Phantom before he shattered.

Suddenly, Symbol was slashed across the backplate by another Pawn Phantom. She shouted in pain as she hit her Wizard Driver’s right Shift Lever three times. Symbol dodged a slash from the Pawn Phantom as she scanned her right glove across her Driver’s Hand Author. MAGIC TOUCHIE GO! ZOOMER MAGIC PLEASE! The cannons glowed as she dodged another slash and grabbed the Pawn Phantom’s arms, stopping him from attacking her again. The cannons took aim and unleashed beam bullet hell on the Phantom. Multiple explosions ignited across the Pawn Phantom’s body as one shot landed after the other. Sparks flew from the Phantoms body before he shattered into fragments.

Suddenly, Symbol was struck across the backplate. “Argh!” she spun around and saw, nothing. “What on-?!” suddenly, she was hit across the knee and then across the arm. All she was able to see was a blur. Symbol turned around, just in time for the Phantom to blur toward her and punch her in the chest plate. Sparks were released from the impact point as she was sent flying back, crashing into a wall. Silver, blue and red light was released from her body as she transformed back into her default Swift Style.

Symbol looked up and saw a Phantom dressed in black knight armour appear in front of her. His armour was thin and was clearly built for speed, he held a black broadsword for a weapon.

This is the Knight Phantom.

“Shit!” muttered Symbol as the Phantom raised his sword and was about to bring it down on her helmet.

S-H-I-E-L-D! Only for Kamen Rider Weapon to appear in front of her with the Kite Shield. L-I-G-H-T D-U-S-T P-O-W-E-R-E-D! She blocked the attack with a barrier of light that turned the kinetic energy into light energy, firing it back at the Knight Phantom. He dodged out of the way and charged at the Kamen Rider.

Weapon removed the Dust Knuckle from the left side of the Weapon Driver. She switched the Light Dust Whistle for a new Whistle, it was coloured red and the head was in the shape of a black flame. C-O-M-B-U-S-T-I-O-N D-U-S-T! Weapon pressed the right side of the Dust Knuckle into her right palm as the Knight Phantom blurred forward. R-E-A-D-Y! Then she slotted the Knuckle back into the Weapon Driver, the Phantom swung his sword toward Weapon. F-I-S-T O-N! The holographic suit of armour appeared from the Weapon Driver and knocked the Phantom back before it slammed into her. The yellow light background of Weapon’s chest plate turned into a fiery red background that was tinted black at the edges. The cross on her faceplate slammed closed.

Weapon was cut several times by a streak of blue light that zipped around her while slashing at her armour. She quickly pressed the Dust Knuckle into the Weapon Driver. S-W-O-R-D! The Knight Sword appeared in her right hand after a flash of white light occurred. C-O-M-B-U-S-T-I-O-N D-U-S-T C-H-A-R-G-E! Red-black energy covered the Knight Sword as Weapon stabbed it into the ground. She was surrounded by a sphere of red-black fire that exploded outward. It smashed into the Knight Phantom, sparks flew from the heat as the Phantom was sent flying through the air.

The Knight Phantom got back up and ran to the end of the Skull Spire before running forward, building up speed rapidly. Weapon pressed the Aura Knuckle into the Weapon Driver twice. S-H-I-E-L-D! The Knight Sword vanished in a flash of white light and was replaced by the Kite Shield. C-O-M-B-U-S-T-I-O-N D-U-S-T P-O-W-E-R-E-D! Weapon held up the shield as red-black fire gathered around it. The heat energy was blasted forward in a giant beam. It shot forward and washed over the Phantom, a powerful explosion rippled through the area as the Knight Phantom was burned to death.

“Mission accomplished,” spoke up Kamen Rider Weapon.

“Are you ok, sis?” asked Dante as he helped Symbol back to her boots.

“Yeah,” replied Symbol. “I’m just annoyed that I got caught off guard like that.”

“Happens to all of us,” replied Dante.

They ran to the end of the Skull Spire, but the door was locked by a blue barrier.

“You will need to come back here later,” explained Swift Agni.

“We know that!” snapped Dante as they ran through the door on the left, entering the Room of Tranquil.

At the end of the room was a statue of a naked woman that was surrounded by candles.

“I’ve never seen anything like this before,” commented Symbol.

“At least it’s not as ugly as that statue back in the first chamber,” commented Dante.

“Agreed,” replied Symbol.

At that moment another new Phantom appeared. He was humanoid and looked like a human wearing a prisoner uniform, he held a large black coffin and wore a black mask.

This is a Greed Phantom.

“You must be careful!” spoke up Swift Agni.

“This is a Greed Phantom,” added Swift Rudra.

“He is capable of summoning Pride, Lust, Wrath, Gluttony and Sloth Phantoms,” continued Swift Agni.

“But he cannot attack directly!” proclaimed Swift Rudra.

“Destroy him before you are overwhelmed!” they shouted at the same time.

“I’ll take out the Greed Phantom, you take out the rest of them!” shouted Symbol as she ran forward. The Greed Phantom slammed his coffin onto the ground as Symbol pressed the Wizard Driver’s left Shift Lever four times. Glowing energy started to rise of the Greed Phantom’s coffin as Symbol held her left glove in front of her Driver’s Hand Author. MAGICAL TOUCH GO! VERY NICE! SWIFT! S RANK SPELL! THE BEST! Yellow energy covered her body before being pulled into the cannons and her wings. Symbol took aim. “Extreme Flight!” Symbol zipped forward and kicked the Greed Phantom into the air, she took aim and fired both of the cannons on her shoulder pauldrons. Two beams of yellow energy shot through the air and slammed into the Phantom. He fell to the ground, smoking but was still able to get back up.

“I’m not doing enough damage in this form,” muttered Symbol as she switched the Swift Ring for the Giga Ring, she pressed the Wizard Driver’s left Shift Lever as the Greed Phantom slammed his coffin onto the ground. She scanned her left glove over her Driver’s Hand Author as the Phantom started his summoning. MAGICAL TOUCH HENSHIN! GIGA PLEASE! BREAK THROUGH! Symbol held her left glove down to the ground and the Giga magic circle appeared under her boots, it rose up through her, transforming her into the Giga Style. “Come! Giga Axe!” Symbol held her left glove down to the ground, a Giga magic circle appeared and she pulled her glove up, making the Giga Axe appear. “Now appear! Cerberus!” the Cerberus Phantom Familiar jumped out of a small Giga magic circle that appeared on the ground. He jumped onto the Giga Axe and howled as his body broke down into light blue light. The Giga Axe shone with green light that combined with the blue light. When the light cleared, the Giga Cerberus was revealed. Symbol spun the weapon and pointed him down to the ground. “Let’s protect!” the Guardian magic circle appeared on the ground and rose up through her. SMASH THE ICE! Transforming Symbol into the Giga Guardian Style.

The Greed Phantom sneered as he slammed his coffin into the ground again. Symbol hit her Driver’s left Shift Lever twice as the Phantom began his summoning. She scanned her left glove across her Driver’s Hand Author as the summoning took place. MAGICAL TOUCH SPELL! GIGA CERBERUS B RANK SPELL! Symbol held the Giga Cerberus so that he’s collar was in front of her Driver’s Hand Author. Icy white energy covered the axe part, she spun him around and slammed her weapon onto the ground. “Let’s you summon if you can’t move to do your ritual!” bellowed Symbol as she fired a line of ice spikes that locked the Greed Phantom’s limbs, stopping him from summoning. Only for the Phantom to break the spikes with his coffin. “It didn’t work!”

“Sunset! Not to sound worried, BUT COULD YOU HURRY IT UP!?” roared Dante.

Symbol glanced over, seeing that her Brother and her Gem Maiden Servants were starting to get overpowered. Symbol did a double take when she saw the sheer number of Phantoms. “This is bad!” she added the Bombardment, Drill, Terra and Quake Rings to her right glove before hitting her Driver’s right Shift Lever. The Phantom summoned again and Symbol held her right glove in front of her Driver’s Hand Author. MAGIC TOUCHIE HENSHIN! BOMBARDMENT DRILL TERRA QUAKE PLEASE! She held her right glove down to the ground as the four magic circles appeared under her boots and rose up through her. The Bombardment logo appeared in the upper right corner of her chest plate while the Drill logo flashed into the upper left of her chest armour. The Terra logo appeared in the lower left of her chest plate and the Quake logo flashed into the lower right of her chest armour. A blue cannon appeared on her right shoulder pauldron, it had a barrel that was purple and was built in a spiral design. An orange piston appeared from the back of the cannon and on either side of it was a pair of brown tank treads. This is the Chain Impact Spiral Cannon.

“This is going to be fun!” Symbol gazed at the Greed Phantom with cruel intentions as she pressed her Driver’s right Shift Lever once. The Phantom gulped as Symbol scanned her right glove across her Driver’s Hand Author. MAGIC TOUCHIE GO! BOMBARDMENT MAGIC PLEASE! She took aim and fired a wide blue blast that slammed into the Greed Phantom and sent him flying through the air. He slammed into the wall and slid down it, flopping onto the ground.

Symbol dashed forward and punched the Phantom in the gut as she struck the Wizard Driver’s right Shift Lever twice. She kicked the Phantom in the nuts, driving him into the air as she held her right glove in front of her Driver’s Hand Author. MAGIC TOUCHIE GO! DRILL MAGIC PLEASE! Symbol took aim and fired a wide blast of purple aura that smashed the Phantom through the air and drilled sparks out of his body as the beam washed over him.

“Still not enough?!” Symbol hit the Wizard Driver’s right Shift Lever three times as she grabbed the Phantom out of the air and slammed him into the ground. Then she scanned her right glove over her Driver’s Hand Author as she kicked the Phantom through the air. MAGIC TOUCHIE GO! TERRA MAGIC PLEASE! The Phantom shot through the air and slammed into the wall. “Final!” Symbol took aim and fired a blast of chainsaw shaped magic energy. Sparks flew in every direction, the Greed Phantom screamed in pain as he was cut in half.

G-O-L-I-A-T-H B-I-T-I-N-G! Grimm used the Elephant Shield to block a slash from a Pride Phantom. D-R-A-G-O-N R-A-G-E A-T-T-A-C-K! Then the shield burst into red-yellow flames as Grimm pulled it back and punched the Pride Phantom in the face with it, he was sent flying back and exploded while still in the air.

Grimm removed the Aura Knuckle from the right side of the Grimm Driver, she removed the Dragon Rage Whistle and switched it out for a new Whistle. This one was pink with the head in being in the shape of a lightning bolt. She slotted it into the Aura Knuckle. L-I-G-H-T-N-I-N-G C-H-A-N-N-E-L! Grimm pressed the left side of the Aura Knuckle into her left palm as she kicked a Phantom back. R-E-A-D-Y! She slammed the Aura Knuckle back into the Grimm Driver, she kicked a Lust Phantom back. F-I-S-T O-N! The holographic suit of armour flew out of the Grimm Driver, knocked a Sloth Phantom back and slammed into her. The golden dragon with red eyes on her chest plate transformed into a pink lightning bolt.

Grimm pressed the Aura Knuckle into the Grimm Driver as all five Phantoms charged at her. G-O-L-I-A-T-H B-I-T-I-N-G! She held out her right glove and in a flash of black light the Elephant Shield appeared in her grasp. She punched the Sloth Phantom in the face as he teleported in front of her. L-I-G-H-T-N-I-N-G B-O-L-T! Pink lightning sparked around the shield before being fired forward in a bolt that split into five more bolts. They each tore through a Phantom and caused them to explode.

Grimm pressed the Aura Knuckle into the Grimm Driver again, she ducked under a slash from a Lust Phantom. G-O-L-I-A-T-H T-E-A-R-I-N-G! The Elephant Shield vanished. There was a blast of black energy that condensed into the Trunk Sword. Grimm locked her sword with a Lust Phantom’s scythe and quickly started to overpower him. L-I-G-H-T-N-I-N-G S-T-O-R-M! Lightning covered the Trunk Sword as Grimm forced it down, cutting a glowing pink line through the Lust Phantom. Energy built up and caused the Phantom to explode.

Grimm spun around and cut another Lust Phantom in half before slicing into a Wrath Phantom.

She realised her mistake just as the Phantom exploded, sending her flying back and crashing into a wall.

With that Wrath Phantom’s death the battle was over. 

With all of the Phantom’s beaten, the group was rewarded by the statue in the centre of the chamber dropping a crystal.

MAGICAL TOUCH HENSHIN! SWIFT PLEASE! DASH AWAY! SPEED THROUGH THE FIRE AND WIND! Suddenly, the Swift and Firestorm magic circles appeared over her helmet and fell through Symbol, transforming her into the Swift Firestorm Style.

“This is the Siren Shriek!” Swift Angi informed them.

“It has the power to destroy any form of flame,” explained Swift Rudra.

“Wasn’t there a door blocked by fire back in the first chamber?” asked Dante.

Symbol thought back. “Yeah,” a look of dread would have appeared on her face if she had been in her human form. She looked at her guns.

So did Dante.

“YOU MEAN WE’RE GOING TO HAVE TO BACKTRACK ALL THE WAY BACK TO THE START?!” roared both Kamen Riders.

“Of course not,” replied Swift Angi.

“There is a lift in the next chamber,” elaborated Swift Rudra.

“It will take you all the way back to the Chamber of Echoes,” added Swift Angi.

“You just need to power it,” explained Swift Rudra.

“You’d better be right,” muttered Dante.

The two Kamen Riders went into the next Chamber which was called the Lift Room.

Dante pressed the button to call the lift. “It’s not working!” he shouted.

Symbol ran over to the side and set the Orihalcum between two prongs.

The lift hummed to life.

Symbol gave her Brother a look as she joined him in the lift.

“Alright, you were right,” conceded Dante.

Symbol held up her guns.

“Sorry you two,” added Dante after several seconds of hesitation.

“Apology accepted,” Swift Angi replied.

“No offence was taking,” added Swift Rudra.

The group rode the lift back to the Chamber of Echoes.

Dante used the Siren’s Shriek to put out the flames that were blocking the door.

They ran into the Entryway and were ambushed by more Phantoms.

“I’m no longer surprised!” shouted Symbol. As she pressed the Wizard Driver’s left Shift Lever three times, she ducked under a slash from a Sloth Phantom. Then she scanned her left glove across her Driver’s Hand Author, she punched the Sloth Phantom in the face when he teleported behind her. MAGICAL TOUCH GO! SWIFT! A RANK SPELL! Symbol aligned both the Swift Agni and Swift Rudra with her Driver’s Hand Author as their respective elements built up around them.

“Ashes to ashes,” began Angi.

“And Dust to dust!” finished Rudra.

Symbol darted forward. “Let’s end this!” she unleashed a barrage of slashes that chopped the Sloth Phantom into confetti. The Phantom had no time to react as she had attacked the second he came out of his teleport. 

Symbol noted an Enigma Phantom pulling back his bow. “Not a chance!” she pressed the Wizard Driver’s left Shift Lever while dodging a trio of blue arrows. She jumped over a red arrow as she scanned her left glove over her Driver’s Hand Author. Then she avoided another red arrow as she held Swift Angi in front of her Driver. MAGICAL TOUCH GO! SWIFT! B RANK SPELL! The Kamen Rider pointed the gun in the air and lowered it as she took aim.

“Oh yeah!” shouted Swift Agni.

“Die!” roared Swift Rudra.

Symbol pulled the trigger and fired a single bolt of red fire from Swift Angi. Her arms jerked back as the bolt of energy shot through the air. It pierced through the Phantom, red lightning crackled over the Phantoms body until he went up in an explosion of fire.

Symbol jumped from wall to wall as she tapped the Wizard Driver’s left Shift Lever once. She jumped up to the rafters as she scanned her left glove over her Driver’s Hand Author. Then she pulled herself up, crouching on a rafter as she held Swift Rudra in front of her Driver. MAGICAL TOUCH GO! SWIFT! C RANK SPELL! Symbol pointed the gun down as blue energy gathered around him.

“Ha! Ha! Ha!” laughed Swift Agni.

“Oh, yeah!” cheered Swift Rudra.

“Guys please be quiet!” shouted Symbol as she fired Swift Rudra in rapid succession. The bolts of wind flew through the air and sparks came from the Sloth Phantom when he made the poor choice of teleporting in front of Symbol. The Phantom fell back down to the ground and was covered by an explosion.

“Let’s take this up a notch!” Symbol added the Wing, Blade and Turbo Rings to her right glove before pressing the Wizard Driver’s right Shift Lever. She kicked a Lust Phantom back as she scanned her right glove across her Driver’s Hand Author. MAGIC TOUCHIE HENSHIN! WING BLADE TURBO PLEASE! The Lust Phantom lunged in as Symbol held her right glove into the air, the three magic circles appeared and fell through her, knocking the Lust Phantom back. The Wing logo appeared on the upper right corner of Symbol’s chest plate, the Blade logo warped onto the upper left corner of her chest armour, finally, the Turbo logo appear on the bottom of her chest armour, forming an inverted triangle on her chest plate. A pair of turbines appeared on her shoulder blades, while four metal wings appeared from her backplate. These are the Boosted Blade Wings.

Symbol dove forward and slashed the Lust Phantom’s legs with her Boost Blade Wings as she pressed the Wizard Driver’s right Lever Shift Lever. She spin kicked the Phantom and scanned her right glove across her Driver’s Hand Author. MAGIC TOUCHIE GO! WING MAGIC PLEASE! Silver magic energy covered all four of the wings, Symbol darted forward and slashed the Lust Phantom a dozen times in a second. Silver cuts were carved into the Phantom, they shone with silver energy before causing the Lust Phantom to explode.

Symbol dodged a slash from a Pride Phantom and elbowed him in the face as she struck her Driver’s right Shift Lever twice. “Let’s see how you like being surround!” Symbol scanned her right glove across the Wizard Driver’s Hand Author as she drop kicked the Pride Phantom back. MAGIC TOUCHIE GO! BLADE MAGIC PLEASE! Three spheres of orange energy appeared around the Phantom before they started to shine with power. When the light cleared, they had transformed into three buzzsaws that spun around the Phantom, cutting an orange line through his waist. The gash glowed before going up in a brilliant sparkling explosion.

Mega jumped over a slash from a Pride Phantom and punched him in the face as she drew a new Whistle. It was red and the head of it was shaped like a spinning top. Mega kicked the Pride Phantom away and slotted the Whistle into the Mega Driver. She pressed down on her Driver as three Pride Phantoms lunged at her from all directions. TOP SPIN! Mega spun like a top, hitting all of the Phantom, knocking them away and causing them to explode as their bones shattered from the force of her attacks.

LIQUID TUNE! Water covered Mega’s body as she transformed into the Liquid Tune. She threw a bomb that exploded when it hit a Sloth Phantom, Mega pulled out a new Whistle. She jumped over a slash from the Sloth Phantom as he teleported behind her, the Whistle was blue and the head looked like a snake. Mega belted the Sloth Phantom across the face, slotted the Whistle into her Driver and pressed it. SEARCH SNAKE! Blue energy covered Mega’s left palm as she slapped it on the ground. From the light came a blue snake the slithered along. The Sloth Phantom teleported, only to be wrapped around and crushed by the snake.

A Lust Phantom dashed toward Mega, slashing her body twice. THUNDER TUNE! Only to be forced back as Mega transformed into her Thunder Tune. She drew a new Whistle, it was green and the head was shaped like a ball of lightning. Mega fired a blast of energy as she slotted the Whistle into the Mega Driver. The Lust Phantom dodged as Mega pressed down on her Driver. SPARK SHOCK! Just before the Lust Phantom was able to hit her, Mega fired a ball of lightning that struck the Phantom and sent him flying back. Green lightning crackled over his body as he was destroyed.

A Pride Phantom dashed at Mega. LIGHT TUNE! Only to be blinded by a flash of orange light. Then he was slashed several times by Mega’s sword. She added an orange Whistle with a shuriken head to her Driver. Mega slashed the Phantom twice more and pressed down on her Driver. SHADOW BLADE! A shuriken of light formed in her right glove, Mega threw it forward, it pierced the Phantom’s head and caused him to die.

FIRE TUNE! Mega returned to her default form as a Gluttony Phantom breathed sand at her. Mega punched the ground, unleashing a shockwave that cancelled out the beam. She slotted a red Whistle with a blast of light for a head into the Mega Driver. The Phantom charged at her as she pressed down on her Driver. FLASH STOPPER! Mega released a blast of fire from her body that turned the Phantom to ash in less than a second.

Symbol facepalmed.

Dante snickered

Symbol glared.

The group ran through the door.

Only to find themselves in front of a wall. 

“Is this some sort of joke?” asked Dante.

“No, that is a wall that must be broken,” explained Swift Agni.

“Doing so will reveal the real chamber,” added Swift Rudra.

Symbol switched the Swift Ring for the Advance Ring and then pressed the Wizard Driver’s left Shift Lever, she scanned her left glove across her Driver’s Hand Author. TOUCH TO ADVANCE YOUR CLASS! ADVANCE PLEASE! Symbol held her left glove out in front of her as the Advance magic circle moved back through her, transforming her into the Advance Style. Symbol hit the Wizard Driver’s left Shift Lever three times, then she scanned her left glove over her Driver. TOUCH TO CAST THE NEXT LEVEL! ADVANCE A TIER SPELL! The emitters on her shin guards glowed as Symbol pulled back her left fist and punched the wall, breaking it into pieces.

“Overboard?” asked Dante.

“I don’t think so, COME ADVANCE TIMER!” bellowed Symbol. 

YES! MY MISTRESS! The Crow bit Phantom came shooting out of the air and slammed into her right forearm guard. He started to shine with yellow light as he shifted into the Advance Timer.

Symbol grabbed the dial and turned it before hitting the thumb part. ADVANCE TIME! SET UP! START! The device’s first clock hand started ticking forward.

Dante pointed to the Fire Wheel puzzle at the other end of the chamber. “I’m guessing we have to light that,” he stated dryly.

“That is correct, younger Master,” replied Swift Angi, the Advance Timer’s red section glowed as he talked.

“You are getting better at this,” added Swift Rudra.

Symbol pressed down on the Wizard Driver’s left Shift Lever as she dashed toward the fire wheel puzzle. Then she scanned her left glove across her Driver’s Hand Author as she skidded to a stop. TOUCH TO CAST THE NEXT LEVEL! ADVANCE B TIER SPELL! Her left elbow was covered in yellow energy as her shoulder emitters hummed. She slammed her elbow into the fire wheel puzzle, igniting all of the prongs.

“What’s supposed to happen? WOAH!” Dante dodged to the side as a huge metal ball dropped from the ceiling. “What the hell is this?” demanded Dante as kicked it.

Sending the ball toward Symbol.

“Woah!” shouted Symbol as she pressed her Wizard Driver’s left Shift Lever three times. She scanned her left glove over her Driver’s Hand Author. TOUCH TO CAST THE NEXT LEVEL! ADVANCE A TIER SPELL! Yellow magic energy came from her shin guards and formed into a circle shaped shield, blocking the ball and causing it to shatter. “Watch it!” Symbol roared at Dante.

“My bad!” replied Dante.

Symbol noticed something in the wreckage, she reached in a pulled out a skull made of crystal.

“This is-” began Swift Agni.

“The Crystal Skull?” asked Symbol dryly.

“Yes, how did you know?” asked Swift Rudra.

“Lucky guess,” replied Symbol drly.

“Another key?” asked Dante.

“Likely,” replied Symbol.

Then the Phantoms arrived.

Symbol hit the Advance Timer’s thumb twice. BREAKER ADVANCE! BLOCKER ADVANCE! Two magic circles appeared in the air, the Advance Breaker and the Advance Blocker Energy Clones jumped out of it and landed in front of Symbol.

Three Greed Phantoms appeared.

“Not you lot again!” shouted Symbol as she pressed her Driver’s left Shift Lever twice. She dodged a swing from the Phantom and scanned her left glove across her Wizard Driver’s Hand Author. TOUCH TO CAST THE NEXT LEVEL! ADVANCE B TIER SPELL! The shoulder emitters glowed as Symbol darted forward and punched the Phantom in the face with her elbow. The Greed Phantom’s head snapped to the side as he stumbled back in pain.

Advance Breaker jumped into the air and pressed down on her Wizard Driver’s left Shift Lever. She landed on the ground and punched the Greed Phantom with an uppercut that was blocked by the coffin. She jumped up 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 summoned red energy that wrapped around her right glove. She turned it into a fist and punched down, slamming her fist into the Greed Phantom’s head, slamming him into the ground.

Advance Blocker saw a Lust Phantom approaching Symbol from behind and a Sloth Phantom teleport behind Advance Breaker. 

Neither of them had noticed. 

She pressed her 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 BLOCKER B TIER SPELL! The emitters on her shoulder pauldrons lit up as a circle shaped shield appeared behind Advance Breaker, it surged forward and pinned the Sloth Phantom to the wall.

Then she slammed down on her Wizard Driver’s left Shift Lever before scanning her left glove over her Driver’s Hand Author. TOUCH TO CAST THE NEXT LEVEL! ADVANCE BLOCKER C TIER SPELL! The emitters on her forearm guards glowed as Advance Blocker threw her arm to the side, summoning a square shaped barrier behind Symbol. The Lust Phantom slashed the barrier, causing it to explode and send the Phantom flying back through the air.

Symbol glanced from the Phantom to Advance Blocker. “Thanks!” she thanked.

Advance Blocker nodded as she moved off to help the other Kamen Riders.

Advance Breaker pressed down on her Wizard Driver’s left Shift Lever once. She punched the Sloth Phantom in the throat and scanned her left glove across her Driver’s Hand Author. TOUCH TO CAST THE NEXT LEVEL! ADVANCE BREAKER C TIER SPELL! Then she covered her left glove in red energy, she curled it into a fist and punched the Phantom in the face, crushing his head against the wall.

Symbol hit her Wizard Driver’s left Shift Lever three times. “Take this!” she scanned her left glove across her Driver’s Hand Author as she tripped the Lust Phantom. TOUCH TO CAST THE NEXT LEVEL! ADVANCE A TIER SPELL! Yellow energy emerged from the shin guard emitters and gathered around her gloves. Symbol curled them into fists and punched the Lust Phantom with both of them, sparks spread from the impact points before the Phantom howled in pain and exploded.

“SUNSET! HURRY UP WITH THOSE GREED PHANTOMS!” shouted Dante as he saw around twenty Pride Phantoms staggering toward him.

“Working on it!” Symbol shouted back.

“Work faster!” roared Dante.

The group ran out of the room and back into the Chamber of Echoes before getting back into the lift.

“This makes things much easier,” commented Symbol.

“You got that right,” replied Dante.

They arrived back in the lift room and went back into the room of Tranquil.

Barriers and Phantoms appeared.

One of which was a Vanguard.

“Not one of you again! I’m glad I’m already in this form!” Symbol struck the Advance Timer’s thumb. BOUNDER ADVANCE! BLASTER ADVANCE! ADVANCE WEAPON TIME! It had been ticking down the whole time. Which was why two magic circles appeared in the air and two Advance Style Energy Clones jumped out of them.

Advance Blaster landed on the ground and pressed her Wizard Driver’s left Shift Lever once then scanned her left glove across her Driver’s Hand Author. TOUCH TO CAST THE NEXT LEVEL! ADVANCE BLASTER C TIER SPELL! The emitters on her forearm guards glowed as six spheres of purple energy appeared in the air around Symbol. They shot forward and zoomed through the air toward the Vanguard Phantom.

The Phantom warped away and appeared behind Advance Blaster. Bounder saw this and hit her Driver’s left Shift Lever three times, she scanned her left glove across her Driver. TOUCH TO CAST THE NEXT LEVEL! ADVANCE BOUNDER A TIER SPELL! The emitters in her shin guards glowed as she shot forward and rammed into the Vanguard Phantom’s side, sending him skidding away from Blaster.

Symbol hit her Wizard Driver’s left Shift Lever once before scanning her left glove across her Driver. TOUCH TO CAST THE NEXT LEVEL! ADVANCE C TIER SPELL! The emitters on her forearm guards summoned yellow energy that wrapped around her right fist. “Take this!” Symbol punched forward, firing a fist sized beam at the Phantom.

The Vanguard Phantom teleported away and Symbol noted that the Advance Timer’s second clock hand had reached the red section. She tapped it’s thumb. BREAKER ARTEMIS! “WHAT?!” demanded Symbol.

Advance Breaker reached into the Breaker magic circle and pulled out a grey hunting rifle with red outlines, the bottom of the barrel was a blade shape and the stock was small enough to be grabbed like a handle. This is the Breaker Artemis. Breaker saw that there was a revolver chamber on the back of the barrel. She pulled the Sword-Gun open and saw that there were three images. A claw and a bubble, an icicle and a chain, a boot and a shield. She knew they could be used for special moves.

She took aim and pulled the trigger. BREAKER MATCH STRIKE! A kite shield shot out of the Breaker Artemis’s barrel. It arced up into the air and then expanded, slamming down on where the Vanguard Phantom had been less than a second ago. He had teleported away and appeared behind Breaker.

Symbol saw this. “Oh! No, you don’t!” she pressed the Advance Timer’s thumb inwards. BLOCKER ARTEMIS! 

Blocker reached into the Blocker magic circle and pulled out a weapon that was identical to the Breaker Artemis, only the outlines were blue. The revolver chamber had the images of a blue cannon and a black tread. A black hammer and an orange crack. A red fist and a purple drill. She snapped the chamber closed on the cannon and tread image before taking aim. BLOCKER MATCH STRIKE! She fired a column sized beam that roared through the air and struck the Vanguard Phantom across the back. Sparks were sprayed from his back. The beam sounded like a chainsaw on metal as Blocker swept it over the Phantom’s back before he vanished in a teleport.

The Phantom came out of his teleport behind Blocker with his scythe raised to reap her. “Bounder incoming!” Symbol saw this and pressed the Advance Timer’s thumb inward again. BOUNDER ARTEMIS! 

Bounder reached into the Bounder magic circle and pulled out a Hunting rifle, it was identical to the other two Artemis combo weapons, but had green outlines. The revolver barrel had the images of an arrow and a blade. A turbine and a boot. A pair of wings and a sniper rifle. This is the Bounder Artemis. Bounder snapped the barrel closed on the arrow-blade logo. BOUNDER MATCH STRIKE! She took aim and fired a green arrow with a buzzsaw on the end of it. It smashed into the Vanguard Phantom and cut sparks out of his body.

The Phantom screamed and teleported again, appearing behind Bounder. Symbol saw this. “Not a chance!” she struck the Advance Timer’s thumb inwards. BLASTER ARTEMIS! 

Advance Blaster reached into the Blaster magic circle and pulled out an Artemis combo weapon with purple outlines. The chamber had three images, a piece of dust and mirror. A piece of sand and a shard of glass. A blast of steam and a radiation logo. This is the Blaster Artemis. Blaster snapped the chamber closed on the dust and mirror logo. BLASTER MATCH STRIKE! She took aim and fired a blast of purple energy, it stopped behind Bounder and transformed into a mirror. The Phantom slammed his scythe into the mirror, resulting in it exploding into a storm of dust that ground sparks from him.

He teleported away and appeared behind Blaster. “My turn!” Symbol hit the Advance Timer’s thumb. ADVANCE ARTEMIS! She reached into the Advance magic circle and grabbed a grey hunting rifle with yellow outlines. The chamber had the Active, Burst, Giga and Swift logos inside it. This is the Advance Artemis. “Final!” She snapped it closed on the Active logo and took aim. ADVANCE MATCH STRIKE! She fired a blast of red lightning that tore through the Phantom’s head and caused him to teleport behind Symbol.

Only for a blast of energy to tear through him as X fired on the Phantom from behind.

“No kill stealing!” shouted Symbol good naturedly.

The group ran into the Skull Spire and found two pillars, the first of which contained a Crystal Skull, while the other did not.

“So that’s what this is for,” Symbol placed the Crystal Skull into the second pillar, opening the door.

They ran across a narrow walkway called the Moonlight Mile. “Good job we’re not scared of heights,” commented Dante.

“Yeah,” replied Symbol.

Dante ran through a door and onto a walkway that curled around the outside of the tower called the Peak of Darkness.

The door slammed closed behind him. 

“SUNSET!” shouted Dante.

“You go on ahead!” ordered Symbol.

“I’m not leaving you!” shouted Dante through the door.

“Who said anything about that? We’ll find another way through or figure out why this door shut. Then we’ll catch up!” replied his Sister

“Ok!” shouted Dante as he ran up. He paused, looked back and then continued on.

He had faith in his sister.
> S2E8 Rider War
> --------------------------------------------------------------------------

Dante ran up the ramp that led him to a wide platform atop the tower. 

Where someone he knew awaited him. 

“You showed up,” commented the white-haired figure as the rain continued to fall. He turned to face Dante.

“You sure know how to throw a party,” commented Dante. “No food, no drinks and the only babe just left!”

Suddenly, Agni and Rudra appeared on Dante’s back.

“Young Master, that is unfair!” Eryx Agni spoke up.

“We provided refreshments!” Eryx Rudra reminded him.

“Also, the hosts don’t know when to shut up!” Dante finished grumpily.

“You let them talk, Brother?” Vergil asked in open surprise. “You are far more permissive than I would be, more than Father was. My sincerest apologies if you haven’t enjoyed yourself.”

“Brother?” Eryx Agni spoke up. “He is also a Son of Sparda and Eva?”

“Then this must be Vergil!” Eryx Rudra confirmed. “But, who are we supposed to serve?”

“I have no need of you,” Vergil scolded.

“That is settled!” Eryx Agni stated.

“We will continue to serve Dante!” Eryx Rudra confirmed.

“And here I was, so eager to see you,” complained Vergil. “I couldn’t concentrate on preparations for the bash.”

“Whatever, at any rate. It’s been a whole year since we last met. Things are bound to change” pointed out Dante.

“Yes,” replied Vergil. “Things will change tonight.”

 “How about a kiss from your’ Brother. Or better yet,” he pointed Ivory at Vergil. “How about a kiss from this?”

The two stood in silence for several seconds.

“So, this is what they call a heartwarming family reunion, eh?” asked Dante.

“You got that right,” agreed Vergil.

Dante held his right glove in front of his belt buckle. DRIVER ON! The magic circle appeared and transformed it into the Gate Driver.

Vergil copied his Brother’s actions. DRIVER ON! NOW! The magic circle transformed his belt buckle into the Sorcerer Driver.

Dante punched the Rebellion Ring into the Gate Driver’s left slot and turned his wrist forward. SET! OPEN! R-E-B-E-L-L-I-O-N! The Driver sprung open. “HENSHIN!” shouted Dante as the Rebellion magic circle appeared from his Driver and moved back through him, transforming him. He was now Kamen Rider Dante, Rebellion Style.

Vergil pressed down on the Sorcerer Driver’s left Shift Lever, turning the Hand Author to the left. MAGICAL TOUCH HENSHIN! Then Vergil held up his left hand, revealing he was wearing a silver Ring with a black stone set into it. The stone had a blue sword engraved into it with a white dove wing coming from the left and a red batwing emerging from the right. This is the Yamato Ring.

Vergil scanned the Ring across the Sorcerer Driver’s Hand Author. YAMATO! He held his left hand out in front of him and a blue magic circle with a katana in the centre of it appear in front of him. NOW! It moved back through Vergil, transforming him into Kamen Rider Vergil.

Dante gazed at his Brother, he knew for a fact that, like him, Vergil’s Kamen Rider powers had changed. Whereas Dante had gained more forms, Vergil had lost some of this.

This was both good and bad for Dante. It was good as Vergil’s stats did not change, however, it meant he could use all of his normal level powers without changing Style’s.

Vergil drew the Yamato Katana.

Dante held out the Rebellion Blade.

They lunged.

Dante slashed at his Brother three times with the Rebellion Blade. 

Vergil placed the Yamato Katana back into the Space Sheath and blocked all three slashes before kicking his Brother back. Then he slid a Ring into his right middle finger before pressing his Driver’s right Shift Lever. The Ring was silver with a black gem in the centre of it. It had a silver sword engraved into it.

“No, you don’t!” Dante dashed toward his Brother.

Vergil scanned his right glove across his Driver’s Hand Author. SLASHER! NOW! He drew the Yamato Katana as it was covered in black energy. “Die!” he hissed in a venomous monotone. 

Dante punched the Rebellion Ring into the back of the Rebellion Blade. THREE! REBELLION SABER STRIKE! He covered his sword in black energy.

The two Brothers brought their swords around, clashing twice before Vergil increased the energy around the Yamato Katana. The swords heated up as Vergil forced his Brother’s blade to the side and swiped the Yamato Katana across Dante’s chest armour.

Dante was sent flying back, he slammed into the ground once and flipped back to his boots as he charged, slashing at Vergil twice. The other Kamen Rider blocked both attacks with the Space Sheath before being punched in the faceplate. He skidded back as Dante jumped into the air, slamming the Rebellion Ring into the back of the Rebellion Blade. ONE! REBELLION SABER STRIKE! “Stay down!” shouted Dante as he went shooting down.

“Never!” shot back Vergil as replaced the Slasher Ring with a new Ring. It was silver with a red gem cut into it, the gem had a silver volcano engraved onto it. He pressed the Sorcerer Driver’s right Shift Lever and scanned the new Ring. VOLCANO! NOW! Vergil drew the Yamato Katana, he ran his right glove over the back of the blade, covering it in red energy before he slammed the tip of the sword into the ground. A circle of red energy erupted around him, sending Dante flying back with sparks being released from his armour.

“Ow!” groaned Dante as he got back up. “Using power moves now?” he demanded of his Brother.

“If it is not broken then don't fix it,” replied Vergil as he switched the Volcano Ring with a new Ring that had a blue gem in the centre of it with a silver sword, accompanied by speed lines, engraved into it. He hit the Sorcerer Driver’s right Shift Lever and scanned his right glove across its Hand Author. RAPID SLASH! NOW! Blue magical energy covered the Space Sheath as Vergil gripped the Yamato Katana’s handle. “Now die!” he shouted as he blurred forward, spinning around to build up momentum.

“No, thanks! It’s bad for my complexion,” replied Dante as he switched the Rebellion Ring for the Arbiter Ring, he punched it into the Gate Driver’s left slot and turned his wrist forward. SET! OPEN! A-R-B-I-T-E-R! The Arbiter magic circle appeared from his Driver and moved back through him. 

Then Dante slid on the Buffa Ring before slamming it into his Driver’s right slot. BUFFA! GO! R-R-R-ROYAL GUARD! He held his right glove out to the side as the Buffa magic circle appeared and moved through him.

Vergil was on him.

Just before the Yamato Katana could make contact, Dante used the Buffa Mantle to deflect the sword, he stumbled back and took another slash as Vergil recovered faster than he could. Dante punched the Buffa Ring into the Gate Driver’ right slot. 

“Die!” roared Vergil, as he spun his sword around, gathering light blue energy into it as he slashed down.

ONE! BUFFA GUARD! “No way in hell!” roared Dante as he punched forward, firing a blast of red energy that stopped Vergil’s attack, the Buffa Mantle started to glow.

“Let’s give this a go!” roared Vergil as he switched the Rapid Slash Ring for another Ring. It was silver with a black gem embedded in the centre of it, the gem had a silver X engraved into it. Vergil kicked his Brother across the faceplate and pressed the Sorcerer Driver’s right Shift Lever. Then he lashed out with a roundhouse kick that Dante blocked and used to throw his Brother away. While in the air, he scanned his right glove over the Driver’s Hand Author. CROSSCUT! NOW! Black energy covered the Yamato Katana as Vergil slashed Dante with five fast and precise slashes.

Dante took a step back as sparks bled from his armour. “Not bad!” he grunted as he slammed the Arbiter Ring into the back of the Arbiter Axe. FOUR! AXE STRIKE! Red energy covered the Arbiter Axe as Dante slammed it into Vergil.

The older Brother drew the Yamato Katana, holding the blade in both gloves as he blocked the attack. Suddenly, the axe weapon unleashed three pulses of red energy that sent him flying back. “Argh!” he flipped through the air and landed on his boots. “Cheap trick!” he shouted. “But one good turn deserves another!” 

“Bring it!” roared Dante.

Dante drew Ebony and Ivory before opening fire with a barrage of bullets but Vergil spun the Yamato Katana in a circle, catching the bullets and throwing them off to the side. 

He raced toward Dante as he switched the Cross Cut Ring for a silver Ring with a light blue gem that had a silver explosion engraved into it. Dante drew the Arbiter Axe and slashed down only for Vergil to avoid it and press his Driver’s right Shift Lever. Then he jumped over another swing as he scanned his right glove across the Sorcerer Driver’s Hand Author. FLARE NOW! The Yamato Katana caught fire as he spun around, slashing Dante across the waist several times.

With a grunt of pain Dante staggered back, he switched the Arbiter Ring for the Osiris Ring. Vergil stabbed at his Brother, Dante punched the Osiris Ring into the Gate Driver’s left slot and turned his wrist forward. SET! OPEN! O-S-I-R-I-S! He held his left glove into the air as the Osiris magic circle appeared and fell down through him, knocking Vergil back through the air. “Ha!” shouted Dante as he slashed his Brother several times with the Osiris Scythe at rapid speeds. 

Vergil was able to block every single slash with the uttermost ease.

“That level of power will do nothing against me, Brother!” shouted Vergil as he found an opening in Dante’s attack and kicked him back with a hard boot. He ran forward and punched Dante across the faceplate after switching the Flare Ring for a new Ring. It was silver with a red stone set in it that had a pair of silver humans walking away from each other engraved into it. Vergil knocked another slash away as he pressed down on the Sorcerer Driver’s right Shift Lever. He scanned his right glove over his Driver’s Hand Author as Dante came charging in again. DIVORCE! NOW! Red energy covered the Space Sheath, Vergil drew the Yamato Katana. His first slash knocked the Osiris Scythe out of Dante’s hands, the second and third slash cut his Brother several times, making sparks bleed from the glowing red cuts before they sealed.

Dante grunted in pain. “See how you like this!” he summoned the Osiris Scythe back to his glove and punched the Osiris Ring into the back of it. THREE! SCYTHE STRIKE! Dante leapt into the air and swung the Osiris Scythe down at Vergil.

“You really think that you’ll be safe in the air?!” Vergil switched the Divorce Ring for a new Ring. It was silver with a dark blue stone set in it and a silver silhouette jumping into the air engraved into it. Vergil pressed his Driver’s right Shift Lever and scanned the Ring across it as the scythe got closer. TRICK UP! NOW! Suddenly, Vergil vanished in a blue blur, he appeared in front of Dante.

“WHAT?!” shouted Dante in shock.

“Die!” Vergil switched the Trick Up Ring for a new Ring. It was silver with a black gem embedded in it, the gem had a silver sword engraved into it. He pressed down on the Sorcerer Driver’s right Shift Lever, kicked Dante’s arm away and scanned his right glove across his Driver’s Hand Author. AERIAL RAVE! NOW! Vergil drew the Yamato Katana and swiped his Brother across the chest armour three times.

Sparks flew from Dante as he was sent smashing back into the platform. He grunted as he struggled to get back up. “Your right, Brother, that level of power will not work against you!” Dante switched the Osiris Ring for the Aquila Ring and the Cerberus Ring. He punched them into the Gate Driver’s left slot and turned his wrist forward. SET! OPEN! A-Q-U-I-L-A! CERBERUS! GO! CERBERUS MIX! The Aquila and Guardian magic circles appeared from the Gate Driver and then moved back through Dante. Transforming him into the Aquila Cerberus Style. He held out his gloves and the Aquila Cerberus appeared in them.

“Now that’s more like it,” commented Vergil.

Dante jumped into the air and came down, swinging the Aquil Cerberus at his Brother.

Vergil blocked the attack with the Yamato Katana and then kicked Dante across the faceplate.

His Brother recovered faster than before and struck Vergil across the faceplate with the Aquila Cerberus. This time he was able to punch the Rings on his left glove into the Gate Driver. ONE! SHURIKEN STRIKE! Dante spun the Aquila Cerberus, slicing Vergil several times with split-second speed that made his arms blur.

Vergil stumbled back as ice started to form over his body. “This will not hold me!” 

“It’s doing a pretty good job!” shot back Dante.

Vergil switched the Aerial Rave Ring for a silver Ring with a red gem embedded into it, the gem had a silver bee cut into it.

“No, you don’t!” Dante dashed forward in an attempt to stop him.

Vergil pressed the Sorcerer Driver’s right Shift Lever.

Dante swung the Aquila Cerberus.

He was too late.

Vergil scanned the Ring across his Driver’s Hand Author. KILLER BEE! NOW! Red fire covered his body, letting him break free of the ice. Vergil jumped into the air, causing Dante to miss, he shot into a downward kick that slammed into Dante’s faceplate, sending him flying back.

Dante skipped across the platform like a stone before he got back to his boots. He drew Ebony and Ivory before unleashing a barrage of bullets at Vergil.

His Brother would have smirked if he had been in his human form. He spun the Yamato Katana around in a circle, blocking all of the bullets.

“Since when could you do that?!” shouted Dante.

“Do you really think that I would not be prepared?” asked Vergil.

“Good point!” Dante held down on the triggers of his hand cannons. EBONY AND IVORY STRIKE! Black and white energy were pulled into them before he let go off the triggers. “Shuriken Barrage!” firing a pair shurikens that multiplied into over a hundred copies. 

“Not bad, but not good enough!” Vergil spun the Yamato Katana, knocking all of the shurikens away. Only for sparks to erupt from his shoulder pauldron as a purple energy arrow zipped into him. “What?!” 

Dante took aim with Artemis.

“Tich, another firearm,” spat Vergil in distaste.

“If it works then it works!” shot back Dante as he pulled the trigger. Three energy arrows appeared around him and shot at Vergil.

The other Kamen Rider switched the Killer Bee Ring for a silver Ring that had a blue gem embedded into it which had a silver person, darting to the side, engraved into it. Vergil deflected of the arrows as he pressed his Driver’s right Shift Lever.

Dante kept firing. “Oh yeah!”

Vergil scanned his right glove across the Sorcerer Driver’s Hand Author. TRICK SIDE! NOW! Vergil vanished in a teleport, appearing to the side, just out of Dante’s sight.

“What?!” shouted Dante as he missed.

Vergil switched the Trick Side Ring for a silver Ring with a dark blue gem embedded into it, the gem had a silver sword engraved onto it. Vergil pressed down on his Driver’s right Shift Lever. 

Dante turned to his Brother. “Shit!”

Vergil scanned his right glove across the Sorcerer Driver’s Hand Author. SUMMON SWORD! NOW! A sword made from blue magical energy appeared over his shoulder and shot forward. It slammed into Dante and drove him back through the air.

Dante landed on the ground and hissed as he rubbed his shin guard where the sword had made contact. “Take this!” Dante pointed Artemis into the air and held down on the firearm's trigger. Purple energy charged into the Phantom Arm Cannon’s barrel. ACID RAIN! Dante let go of the trigger, firing a sphere of purple magic into the air. It exploded into a storm of shurikens that rain down toward Vergil.

Sparks flew from Vergil’s armour as the attack hit him. Vergil switched the Summon Sword Ring for the Trick Side Ring, he pressed the Sorcerer Driver’s right Shift Lever and scanned his right glove across his Driver’s Hand Author. TRICK SIDE! NOW! Vergil vanished to the side in a dark blue teleportation, avoiding the rest of the attack. “Not bad Brother, but not good enough!”

“It was good enough to hurt you!” Dante shot back.

“A mere scratch,” replied Vergil.

“Whatever helps you sleep at night!” Dante shot back.

Vergil growled as he switched the Trick Side Ring with a silver Ring that had a black gem embedded into it with many silver slashes carved into the gem. He pressed his Driver’s right Shift Lever.

Dante switched the Buffa Royalguard Ring for the Chameleon Swordmaster Ring and punched it into the Gate Driver’s right Slot. CHAMELIO GO! S-S-S-SWORDMASTER! He held his right glove out to the side as the magic circle appeared, moved through him and transformed the Buffa Mantle into the Chamelio Mantle. 

Vergil scanned his right glove across his Driver’s Hand Author. Then started charging black energy into the Yamato Katana. “Die!” he spat out as he drew the Yamato Katana from the Space Sheath and slashed through the air. He replaced the sword back into its holder.

Dante’s eyes had a second to widen before he was trapped in a sphere of twisted space. He was then slashed from every direction by sword slashes that came out of nowhere! “Argh!” sparks exploded from Dante’s body as the attack ended and he was dropped to the ground. ‘One more hit like that and I’ll change back!’ he thought in panic.

“You have gotten stronger, Brother,” commented Vergil. “But it is still nothing compared to the power that I now wield!” 

“Then why am I still able to stand?” Dante gave Vergil no time to say anything as he darted forward and slashed down. Vergil blocked, locking weapons with Dante, only to get a boot to the chest plate. Vergil skidded back and rammed his sword into the ground to stop his momentum.

Dante ran forward and he punched the two Rings on his left glove into the Gate Driver. TWO! SHURIKEN STRIKE! He leapt into the air and started spinning before slamming the Aquila Cerberus down. Vergil blocked with his sword, only for his legs to buckle. 

“Not bad, Brother,” grunted the older of the siblings. He twisted his sword, forcing his Brother’s weapon to the side, allowing Vergil to escape the other way.

While Dante was recovering, Vergil switched the Trick Side Ring with a silver Ring that had a light blue gemstone embedded into it, with a silver planet cut into the stone. He hit his Driver’s right Shift Lever and scanned his right glove across the Sorcerer Driver’s Hand Author. ORBIT! NOW! Dante turned around as Vergil leapt into the air while spinning, then his Brother slashed down towards Dante. He used the Aquila Cerberus to block, but the Yamato Katana cut straight through his guard and swiped a light blue line into Dante.

“Grrr!” Dante staggered back, flaring his power to stop the cut from exploding and taking him out.

“So you recovered?” asked Vergil. “Then I guess I will have to beat you down harder!”

“If you can!” shouted Dante.

“Tough-talking considering I have done a lot of damage to you,” replied Vergil.

“You won’t do anymore!” shouted Dante.

Vergil switched the Orbit Ring with a silver Ring that had a dark blue gem set into it and eight swords engraved into the gem. The swords were in a circle with their tips pointed outward. He pressed the Sorcerer Driver’s right Shift Lever and scanned his glove across his Driver’s Hand Author. SPIRAL SWORDS! NOW! Eight swords appeared around Vergil, they were in a circle formation and spun around him in a clockwise direction.

“Oh, this isn’t good,” deadpanned Dante.

“You got that right,” replied Vergil as he ran at his twin.

Dante punched the Rings on his left glove into the Gate Driver. THREE! SHURIKEN STRIKE! He started spinning the Aquila Cerberus in front of him as a makeshift shield. But for each slash he blocked, a sword got through. This was thanks to the Spiral Swords blocking the Aquila Cerberus and slowing down its spin.

“Gotta take a risk,” Dante punched the Rings on his left glove into the Gate Driver. FOUR! SHURIKEN STRIKE! He made the central ring of the Aquila Cerberus grow in size before spinning it around his body like a hula hoop. The Spiral Sword clashed against the Aquila Cerberus and shattered from its rapid spinning.

“Big mistake, Brother,” insulted Vergil as he switched the Spiral Sword Ring for a new Ring. The Ring was coloured silver and had a light blue gem in the centre of it. The gem had a silver wave engraved into it. Vergil pressed his Driver’s right Shift Lever and then scanned his right glove. RISING STAR! NOW! Light blue energy covered the Yamato Katana as Vergil pulled it from the Space Sheath.

“Oh yeah?!” demanded Dante. “And why is-?!”

Vergil slashed the ground, sending out a wave of light blue magic that stunned Dante and threw him into the air. Then Vergil switched the Rising Star Ring for a new Ring. It was coloured silver and the gem was dark blue. The gem had eight silver swords engraved into it all of which pointed upwards. As Dante reached the arc of his throw, Vergil scanned his right glove over his Driver’s Hand Author after hitting the Sorcerer Driver’s right Shift Lever. BLISTERING SWORDS! Eight swords of blue energy appeared on both sides of Vergil. They darted through the air and smashed into Dante. Sparks flew from the impact points as Dante was smashed back into the ground.

“Not so tough now?” asked Vergil.

“You’ll pay for that!” roared Dante. He switched the Aquila Ring for the Eryx Ring and the Cerberus Ring for the Agni and Rudra Ring. Then he punched both of the Rings onto the Gate Driver’s left slots. SET! OPEN! E-R-Y-X! ANGI AND RUDRA! LET’S GO! AGNI AND RUDRA! The two magic circles appeared from Dante’s Driver and moved back through him. Transforming Dante into the Eryx Firestorm Style.

“Switching weapons now?” asked Vergil.

“What’s your point?!” demanded Dante.

“Just wondering if you really are that desperate,” replied Vergil. ‘That’s it, get angry and made a mistake!’

“Bastard!” roared Dante as he ran at his Brother, slashing widely.

“Last time I checked, we are siblings,” commented Vergil as he avoided several attacks. “If I am a bastard, then that makes you one as well,” he ducked under a slash from the Eryx Angi, only to be hit by the Eryx Rudra. “What the-?!”

“Got you!” Dante punched the two Rings into the Gate Driver. ONE! FIST STRIKE! Red fire covered the Eryx Agni, while blue wind surged around the Eryx Rudra. Dante unleashed a cross slash that carved into Vergil’s chest plate. 

Vergil roared in pain as sparks came from the impact point. He staggered back and fell to one knee as mico explosion went off around his armour, causing him a great deal of pain.

He recovered and glared at his unrepentant Brother. “You tricked me!” he hissed out.

“Big-time,” replied Dante smugly. 

Vergil sighed. “I guess that I only have myself to blame for falling for such a simple trick.”

“Damn right you do!” replied Dante.

“That will not happen again,” stated Vergil.

“We’ll see about that,” replied Dante. He knew that they had both become pretty hot headed after they thought Sunset had died. But since he knew that their sister was alive, Dante had calmed down a fair bit.

Vergil switched the Yamato Ring for the Thunder Ring and pressed his Driver’s left Shift Lever. Then he scanned his left glove across the Sorcerer Driver’s Hand Author. THUNDER TRIGGER! NOW! Vergil held his left glove into the air as the Thunder Trigger Magic circle appeared over his helmet and fell through him, transforming Vergil into the Thunder Trigger Style.

His Doppelganger appeared next to him.

“Bring it!” Dante switched the Rings on his left glove for the Angel Trigger Ring, then he punched it into the Gate Driver’s left slot. TRIGGER! GO! ANGEL! AN-AN-AN-ANGEL! The Angel Trigger magic circle appeared above him as he thrust his left glove into the air. The magic circle dropped down through Dante, transforming him into the Angel Trigger Style.

The two brothers glared at each other.

Vergil’s Doppelganger made the first move, he charged at Dante. The other Kamen Rider blocked with the Rebellion Magnum after firing several shots that the construct batted away. The Doppelganger pressed the Sorcerer Driver’s right Shift Lever once before scanning the Blistering Sword Ring across the Driver’s Hand Author. BLISTERING SWORDS! Eight swords covered in green lightning appeared with four on either side of the Doppelganger.

“Whoah!” shouted Dante as he jumped back, the swords missed and stabbed into the ground. “That was too close!” Then he looked up and saw the Doppelganger had already summoned eight more swords. “Not a chance!” Dante punched the Angel Trigger Ring into the back of the Rebellion Magnum. ANGEL ONE! MAGNUM STRIKE! He fired a sharp beam of blue light that cut through the air. The Doppelganger used his sword to block, but the shot curved around the Yamato Katana and cut into his chest armour. He lost focus and the swords were dispelled.

“Ha! Take that!” shouted Dante.

“Forgetting someone, Brother?” asked a voice from behind him.

Dante turned.

JUDGMENT CUT! NOW!

Just in time to see Vergil race past. “Oh shit!” Dante had no time to do anything as he was covered by a sphere of twisted space. The next thing he knew, he was being slashed over and over by slashes of lightning that were doing even more damage than the last attack. The attack ended and Dante was dropped to the ground. Only to be picked up by another sphere and the attack to repeat. This happened four times in total before the attack finally ended.

Dante got back up and snarled as he switched the Trigger Ring into its Devil Mode. Then he punched it into his Driver’s left slot. TRIGGER! DEVIL GO! DE-DE-DE-DEVIL! Dante held his left glove down to the ground as the Devil Trigger magic circle appeared under his boots. “Let’s do this!” he roared as the magic circle rose up through him. Transforming Dante into the Devil Trigger Style.

“I shall respond in kind!” shouted Vergil as he switched the Thunder Ring for the Gravity Ring, he pressed his Driver’s left Shift Lever and scanned his left glove across his Driver’s Hand Author. GRAVITY TRIGGER! NOW! Vergil held his left glove down to the ground as the Gravity Trigger magic circle appeared under his boots and rose up through him. Transforming Vergil into the Gravity Trigger Style.

His Doppelganger vanished. 

Dante fired several high powered bursts from the Rebellion Magnum and then punched the Devil Trigger Ring into the back of it as Vergil blocked all of the blasts with the Yamato Katana. ONE! DEVIL! MAGNUM STRIKE! Dante fired three bursts of red energy from the Rebellion Magnum. They shot through the air and slammed into Vergil, knocking him back several steps.

Vergil looked up to see several more blasts heading toward his faceplate. “You shall die!” he pressed his Driver’s right Shift Lever and scanned his right glove across the Sorcerer Driver’s Hand Author. VOLCANO! NOW! Red and orange energy covered the tip of the Yamato Katana as Vergil stabbed it into the ground. A blast of red energy and orange light surrounded him, knocking all of Dante’s shots away.

“At least I know which way he has to come from now,” muttered Dante. ANGEL LIFT! NOW! Suddenly, a small dagger shot past him and there was a bright flash of light behind Dante. “I forgot that we could do that, to be perfectly honest,” muttered Dante. 

CROSSCUT! NOW! He was cut across the backplate five times and sent spinning through the air from a powerful downward slash.

Dante landed on the ground and punched the Devil Trigger Ring into the back of the Rebellion Magnum. ONE! DEVIL! MAGNUM STRIKE! He fired a burst of red energy into the ground and a barrier formed around the Kamen Rider.

“Do you really think that will stop me?” asked Vergil.

“No, but at least I’ll have a chance to catch my breath,” replied Dante. 

“As if I am going to let that happen!” shouted Vergil as he raced forward and pressed down on his Driver’s right Shift Lever. He stopped in front of the barrier and scanned the Divorce Ring across the Sorcerer Driver’s Hand Author. DIVORCE! NOW! Orange and red energy covered the Yamato Katana as Vergil slashed once, twice, three times. The first slash cracked the barrier, the second dented it and the third shattered the barrier into pieces.

Dante used this opening to draw the Rebellion Magnum and punch the Devil Trigger Ring into the back of it. SIX! DEVIL! MAGNUM STRIKE! A massive amount of red energy gathered around the magnum before Dante pulled the trigger. “Go flying!” he fired a powerful cannon blast of red magic that slammed right into Vergil and sent him flying backwards through the air. 

Vergil landed back on the ground. “Time to end this!” he growled out as he pressed down on his Driver’s left Shift Lever and scanned the Gravity Ring across the Sorcerer Driver’s Hand Author. YES! GRAVITY FINISH STRIKE! UNDERSTAND?! A massive amount of golden magical energy built up around his body. 

“I couldn’t agree more!” shouted Dante as he punching the Devil Trigger Ring into the Gate Driver’s left slot. GO! DEVIL! KICK STRIKE! Burning red energy blazed around Dante’s body before being pulled into his right boot.

Both Kamen Riders jumped into the air, flipped once and then extended their right legs forward for a flying Rider Kick. “Planet Cutter / Hell End!” they shouted. Vergil’s right boot created a spear of golden gravity magic energy while Dante’s right boot was set ablaze with red magic energy.

Both Kamen Riders met in the middle, their attacks crashing into each other, making the tower below rumble and shake. Indeed, even the air itself vibrated from the intensity of the power that these two Riders of evil and good were putting out. Gold and red lightning sparked around them as Vergil and Dante tried to beat out the other and drive their attack forward. The power of their Rider Kicks created a buildup of power between them. It grew brighter and brighter until it could not withstand anymore. 

The power burst in a mighty explosion that made Dante fly back to where he started, thankfully he was able to correct himself at the last second and skidded to a halt. 

Vergil was able to do the same, albeit with a bit of stumble and a lot of panting, he had sustained a lot of backlash damage from the explosion. 

But it seemed as if Dante wasn’t as affected as much as he was.

“It’s over, Brother,” snapped out Dante.

“It is not over until I am no longer standing!” shouted Vergil as he slid a new Ring onto his left middle finger. It was silver with a red stone set in it, the stone had a silver flame engraved into it.

Dante raised an eyebrow. “You’ve got a new form?” he shouted in shock.

Vergil pressed his Driver’s left Shift Lever. “As I said before, my power has grown over the last several years!” shouted Vergil as he scanned his left glove across the Sorcerer Driver’s Hand Author. SPECIAL! NOW! He held his left glove out in front of him as a new magic circle appeared. It was red with a red dragon, breathing fire, in the centre of it. It passed through Vergil and his body changed.

His faceplate was now a black circle shaped gem with silver square shaped goggles where his eyes should have been. His hood had turned steel eye and his helmet had a pair of spikes, one coming from each chin, that pointed downward. His suit had turned dark blue, while his gloves had remained black. His boots had turned dark blue and now had claws coming out of them. He had a long sheath on his left arm that held an unknown weapon. His robe and cape had both become dark blue to finish the look. His robe had red piping while the inside was light blue and the cloak had light blue piping with the inside being red.

He was now Kamen Rider Vergil, Special Form.

“Oh this is just great,” muttered Dante. He knew enough about Kamen Rider powers to not think that the new form was just cosmetic.

Vergil dashed forward leaving a trail of lightning. He was on Dante in a moment and punched his brother in the chest plate. Sparks erupted from the impact point as Vergil unleashed a barrage of punches that made his arms nothing but blurs. All of the raindrops around them were obliterated, leaving a dry space in a rainstorm, he then kicked his Brother back.

Dante landed on the ground, panting.

“Why do you refuse to gain power?” demanded Vergil. “The power of our Father, Sparda?”

Dante chuckled a bit. “I just don’t like you, that's all. Why would I want to be more like you?”

A small bit of hurt flashed in Vergil’s visors.

Dante fired several bullets from the Rebellion Magnum at his Brother.

Vergil spun the Yamato Katana, catching the bullets, he lined them up on the ground and then hit them back at Dante with his sword.

Dante swung the Rebellion Magnum down, cutting the bullets in half. Then he punched the Trigger Ring into the back of magnum. FOUR! DEVIL! MAGNUM STRIKE! Red energy gathered around the barrel as Dante pulled the trigger, firing an axe blade construct at Vergil.

Only for it to pass through the other Kamen Rider, causing him to turn into water. 

“Water?!” demanded Dante.

“Bingo,” replied Vergil from behind his Brother.

Dante spun around, just in time to get a spinning Rider Kick to the chest plate. Sparks flew from the impact point and lightning crackled over Dante’s body. He released an explosion as his transformation ended.

“Foolishness Dante,” spoke Vergil. “Flooshiness. Might controls everything and without strength, you cannot protect anything. Not even yourself.”

Dante’s eyes rolled up and he fell over, the fight had taken everything out of him.

MAGICAL TOUCH HENSHIN! YAMATO! NOW! Vergil grabbed the amulet from around Dante’s neck as his Brother fell backwards. He held the amulet up to his forehead and turned to walk awake, picking up the Rebellion Blade as he did so.

Dante started to get back up, his powers were already healing him.

Vergil spun around and drove the Rebellion Blade through his Brother’s chest, pinning him to the ground in a fountain of blood, haling his recovery as his powers put everything into keeping him alive.

“Do you finally have it?” asked Arkham from behind Vergil.

“Yes,” replied Vergil. “Now the spell that Sparda and Eva cast will be broken!” he walked past Arkham.

The man looked down at Dante, raising his book to his chest before turning to follow Vergil.

The Rebellion Blade’s eyes flashed as it shot out of Dante’s chest hiding him in a pillar of rainwater. 

Dante charged out of the pillar.

Vergil spun around, using the Yamato Katana to block Dante’s fist, cutting into the unprotected limb. “I see that a Rider inside you has awakened as well. But I have much more experience and control.”

Dante snarled as he pulled his hand out of the sword, grabbed it and threw Vergil through the air.

Vergil landed next to Arkham, he was about to charge at the completely ferial Dante.

“Wait!” shouted Arkham.

Vergil stopped.

“We should leave,” suggested Arkham.

Vergil gave the man an odd look.

“For the moment we have all that we need,” explained Arkham.

Dante staggered toward them.

Vergil looked between Arkham and Dante before jumping over the edge of the tower.

Arkham gazed at Dante before following Vergil.

Dante roared into the air as a magic circle appeared, transforming him into a new form for several seconds.

Then the transformation released itself as Dante fell to the floor, facedown, knocked out.

“VERGIL!” roared a voice.

At that moment Vergil was sent flying back to the top of the tower.

A yellow streak followed him and landed on the top of the tower, revealing itself to be Kamen Rider Symbol.

And boy, was she angry.

Vergil rolled back to his boots and looked at his sister in shock. “Sunset?” he asked in shock. Then he visors hardened. “No, my sister is dead, you must be an imposter!” he drew the Yamato Katana. “Prepare to die a painful death for your trespass.”

Kamen Riders Weapon, Grimm, Mega and X landed beside their Mistress.

“She would have never worked with Gem Maidens either!” shouted Vergil in rage. He could tell what they were by the aura coming off them.

“This coming from the guy that used to run around with underpants on his head, acting out old movies?!” snarked Symbol.

“You swore that you’d never tell anyone about that!” roared Vergil before he realised what he had just said. “It really is you, isn’t it?”

“Yep,” replied Symbol.

Vergil put the Yamato Katana away. “How?”

“That black hole was a fancy dimension transport. I was sent to another dimension for a day, but outside that dimension, ten years had gone past,” explained Symbol.

“And the Gem Maidens?” asked Vergil.

“Were Kamen Riders that escaped from the Gem Maiden Hive Mind. They were recaptured and sent to torture Mom in that dimension,” explained Symbol.

“MOTHER?!” demanded Vergil, cutting his Sister off.

“Wiseman took her mind and placed it into a construct. They-,” she nodded to Weapon and Grimm. “-were sent to torture her. While they- she pointed to Mega and X. “Were sent to stop us from getting out.”

“Then why are they with you?” asked Vergil in confusion. “They should have been sent back to their homeworlds or a hub world when you defeated them!”

“For some nut-job reason they decided to bind themselves to me,” growled Symbol.

“Ah,” replied Vergil.

“Vergil, why?” she pointed to Dante.

“I’m sorry, but I am too far! I cannot stop now. It is for the good of the family,” stated Vergil. “Sunset, I need your amulet.”

“Never!” snapped Symbol. “How can killing a member of your family be good for your family?!” she demanded.

“Your wasting time!” Vergil ran at his sister, slashing down at her.

She blocked the attack with Swift Agni and Swift Rudra. “So, the time for talk is over?”

“You got that right!” grunted Vergil.

“Good!” Symbol kicked her Brother away.

Vergil skidded back and then ran toward his sister. Symbol pressed the Wizard Driver’s left Shift Lever, she kicked Vergil back as she scanned her left glove over her Driver’s Hand Author and then jumped over a slash as she aligned Swift Rudra with her Driver’s Hand Author. MAGICAL TOUCH GO! SWIFT! C RANK SPELL! Blue wind built up around the barrel before she fired several bouts of wind at her Brother.

Vergil spun the Yamato Katana, but several bolts were able to break through his guard, hitting him across the arms and knees. “Stubborn as ever!” muttered Vergil as he pressed his Driver’s right Shift Lever and scanned the Spiral Sword Ring across the Sorcerer Driver’s Hand Author. SPIRAL SWORDS! NOW! A ring of swords with their tips pointing outward appeared around Vergil. The swords deflected the rest of the wind blasts as Vergil at Symbol.

His sister knocked a slash from the Yamato Katana to the side with Swift Agni and slashed her Brother with Swift Rudra. Vergil was fast enough to grab her arm and force it to the side as he kicked her back. Then he pressed his Driver’s right Shift Lever and scanned a new Ring over the Sorcerer Driver’s Hand Author. It was silver with a black stone set into it, a silver up arrow was engraved into the stone. UPPER SLASH! NOW! Suddenly, Vergil slashed upward, sending his sister shooting into the air with a glowing cut through her body. 

“Did you forget, Vergil?” grunted Symbol.

“What?” demanded Vergil.

“Unlike Dante, I’m not fighting you alone!” shouted Symbol.

L-I-G-H-T-N-I-N-G H-A-M-M-E-R! Vergil spun around, just in time to get a hammer across the faceplate. His helmet snapped to the side and he staggered back several steps. L-I-G-H-T D-U-S-T C-H-A-R-G-E! He was forced to use the Yamato Katana to deflect several bolts of light.

Weapon drew a new Whistle, it was coloured red with a bronze sword and shield for a head. Weapon removed the Dust Knuckle from the left side of the Weapon Driver. She removed the current Whistle and switched it with the new Whistle. M-I-L-O A-N-D A-K-O-U-O! She pressed the right side of the Dust Knuckle into her right palm. R-E-A-D-Y! Then she slotted the Aura Knuckle back into the Weapon Driver. F-I-S-T O-N! The holographic suit of armour flew out of the Weapon Driver, knocked Vergil back and slammed into her. The hammer and the grenade on her chest armour transformed into a spear and a circle-shaped shield, they were coloured red and bronze respectively.

Weapon pressed the right side of the Dust Knuckle into the left side of the Weapon Driver. S[b]-P-E-A-R! She held out her right glove as a red spear appeared in her glove. L-I-G-H-T D-U-S-T C-H-A-R-G-E! She pulled back the Galatorial Spear and thrust it forward, firing a beam of yellow energy that shot through the air toward Vergil.

“Die!” he slotted the Crosscut Ring onto his right glove, pressed his Driver’s right Shift Lever and scanned his right glove across the Sorcerer Driver’s Hand Author. CROSSCUT! NOW! He slashed five times, black lines spread through the beam as it broke into pieces.

“Not bad,” Vergil slid a new Ring onto his right glove. It was silver with a black gem in the centre of it, engraved into the gem was a silver down arrow. Vergil dashed forward and slashed at Weapon three times as he hit his Driver’s right Shift Lever. Weapon blocked all of Vergil’s attack as he scanned his right glove across his Driver’s Hand Author. HELM BREAKER! Vergil jumped into the air, making a spear thrust miss and he came shooting down, getting ready to do an overhead slash.

Weapon saw this and pressed the Dust Knuckle into the Weapon Driver twice. S-H-I-E-L-D! There was a sound of mechanical shifting as the spear transformed into a bronze circle-shaped shield. L-I-G-H-T D-U-S-T P-O-W-E-R-E-D! Then she summoned a powerful barrier of light that was supposed to stop Vergil’s attack.

Keyword: Supposed.

The Yamato Katana broke through the shield with ease, then it slashed the Greek Shield in half. Vergil’s attack continued down and cut a vertical gash through Kamen Rider Weapon. She staggered back as the power built up in the gash before exploding. 

Janice and Pyrrha tumbled out of the attack, both of them were in great pain. They tried to get up but failed.

“Now to finish this,” stated Vergil as he pressed down on his Driver’s left Shift Lever and scanned the Yamato Ring across the Sorcerer Driver’s Hand Author. YES! YAMATO FINISH STRIKE! UNDERSTAND?! Blue energy was released from the crystals on Vergil’s body before he jumped into the air with a flying kick aimed at Janice and Pyrrha.

MAGIC TOUCHIE HENSHIN! ARROW SNIPER TURBO PLEASE! Only for a bolt of green magical energy to slam into him. Vergil was knocked off course, he flipped through the air and landed on the ground.

Vergil got up and spun around, glaring at Symbol. The logo in the upper right of her chest plate was now the arrow logo. The logo on the upper left side of her chest armour was the blue sniper logo. Finally, the image at the bottom of her chest plate was the black turbo logo. Her left shoulder pauldron and forearm guard had transformed into their Arrow forms, while her other shoulder pauldron and forearm guard had turned into their Sniper forms. Her shins had transformed into the Zoomer Grieves and she held a new weapon. It was a green crossbow with a dark blue gun barrel instead of an arrow, on either side of it was a pair of turbines.

She was now Kamen Rider Symbol Swift Firestorm Style, Arrow Sniper Turbo Substyle. The weapon she was armed with was the Charged Crossbow.

“I won’t let you kill them!” shouted Symbol.

“You know that our powers will free them, so why did you stop me?!” demanded Vergil.

“It only works once per person! I freed them from the Gem Maiden Hive Mind and they bound themselves to me!” retorted Symbol. “You would have killed them!”

“Oh, I didn’t think about that,” replied Vergil.

“You could remove the last two words and that statement would have been a lot more accurate!” pointed out Symbol.

“You will pay for that!” shouted Vergil.

“Let’s go!” shouted Symbol.

Vergil switched the Helm Breaker Ring for the Blistering Sword Ring and pressed down on his Driver’s right Shift Lever. With lightning-fast reflexes he deflected a pair of energy bolts from the Charged Crossbow and scanned his right glove across the Sorcerer Driver’s Hand Author. BLISTERING SWORDS! Vergil made eight swords of blue energy appeared around him. He pointed at Symbol and so did the swords.

“Gulp!” gulped Symbol.

“Fire!” ordered Vergil as the swords shot forward.

Symbol hit the Wizard Driver’s right Shift Lever once and scanned her right glove across her Driver’s Hand Author as the Summon Swords snaked through the air. MAGIC TOUCHIE GO ARROW MAGIC PLEASE! Symbol took aim and fired eight arrows of green energy from the Charged Crossbow, shattering all eight of the arrows with a ninth bolt slamming into Vergil’s shoulder pauldron.

Vergil grunted in pain as sparks came from his shoulder pauldron.

Seeing that his guard was open, Symbol pressed the Wizard Driver’s right Shift Lever twice and scanned her right glove across her Driver’s Hand Author again. MAGIC TOUCHIE GO! SNIPER MAGIC PLEASE! She took aim with the Charged Crossbow as Vergil started to recover. A bolt of blue energy shot out of the weapon and slammed into Vergil, driving him back up against a pillar. Sparks came from his body as the attack ended.

“I’ll get you for that!” snarled out Vergil.

“Talk is cheap!” shot back Symbol.

“Agreed!” roared Vergil as he jumped into the air. He switched the Blistering Sword Ring for a new Ring. It was silver with a light blue gem embedded into it, the gem had a silver sword coming from a rip cut into it. Vergil pressed his Driver’s right Hand Author and scanned his right glove across his Driver’s Hand Author. AERIAL FLUSH! He slashed through the air, leaving a glowing blue trail, out of which shot a blade of blue magical energy, it slammed into Symbol’s chest plate and sparks exploded from the impact, she was sent flying through the air and crashed into a pillar. 

“You have done a better job than Dante did, Sister,” Vergil gave what seemed like a compliment to his downed sibling.

N-E-V-E-R-M-O-R-E B-I-T-I-N-G! Suddenly, several bolts of black energy shot through the air and slammed into Vergil’s backplate.

“Guh!” he staggered forward before spinning around to see who had dared to attack him.

A-U-R-A A-M-P-L-I-F-I-C-A-T-I-O-N A-T-T-A-C-K! Just in time to get a golden arrow to the faceplate. Vergil gave a shout of pain as he staggered back several paces.

Grimm removed the Aura Knuckle from the right side of the Grimm Driver. She switched the Nevermore Whistle for a new Whistle. It was black and the head was in the shape of a white griffon. She slotted it into the Grimm Driver. G-R-I-F-F-O-N! Then she slammed the left side of the Aura Knuckle into her left palm. R-E-A-D-Y! Grimm slotted the Aura Knuckle back into the Grimm Driver. F-I-S-T O-N! The holographic suit of armour appeared in front of her, Vergil was forced back by it, then the suit slammed into Grimm. The Nevermore on her chest plate was replaced by a black griffon with white bone armour and red tribal markings. 

She ducked under a slash from Vergil and kicked him in the shin, as his legs buckled Vergil was kicked back into the air. Grimm smashed the left side of the Aura Knuckle into the right side of the Grimm Driver. G-R-I-F-F-O-N B-I-T-I-N-G! She held out her right glove as a black bow appeared. It was made of pitch-black metal and looked like a pair of Griffon Wings stuck together. The bow had a black arrow, with white feathers, inside it, the head of the arrow looked like the head of a Griffon.

This is the Wing Bow.

Grimm pulled back on the arrow and the Griffon mouth opened, revealing dark energy collecting inside it. She let go and fired a black arrow construct that shot through the air.

“Do you really think that will work?” Vergil slashed at the arrow.

Only for it to grow wings and fly around the Yamato Katana, striking him in the chest plate.

“WHAT THE-?!” shouted Vergil in shock.

“Huh, I was wondering when she’d get a weapon that had special powers,” muttered Symbol as she started to recover. 

A-U-R-A A-M-P-L-I-F-I-C-A-T-I-O-N A-T-T-A-C-K! Then three arrows swarmed around Vergil, attacking him from all angles at once. Each time he knocked one away, it would curve back while the other two got a clean shot in.

“Enough!” Vergil slid a new Ring onto his right middle finger. It was silver with a light blue gem in the centre of it, the gem had a silver circle cut into it. He pressed the Sorcerer Driver’s right Shift Lever and scanned the Ring across his Driver’s Hand Author. JUDGMENT CUT! NOW! Blue energy built up around the Yamato Katana as Vergil darted forward. Weapon had no time to react as Vergil darted past her. Suddenly, she was covered in five overlapping spheres of blue energy, sword slashes appeared out of nowhere and carved into her constantly, keeping her trapped in one place for ten seconds.

Then she exploded, from the explosion, Ling and Nora were sent flying out, they both slammed into the ground, completely knocked out.

“Alright! That's it!” shouted Symbol as she switched the Swift Ring for the Advance Ring.

“You’re breaking out the Advance Style now?” asked Vergil as he switched the Yamato Ring for the Gravity Ring.

“Yep!” replied Symbol as she pressed the Wizard Driver’s left Shift Lever and scanned her left glove across her Driver’s Hand Author. TOUCH TO ADVANCE YOUR CLASS! ADVANCE PLEASE! The Advance magic circle appeared in front of her and moved back through her, transforming Symbol into the Advance Style. “COME! ADVANCE TIMER!” roared Symbol.

TO BATTLE! MY MISTRESS! Shouted the Crow Bit Phantom as he came shooting out of the air, he slammed into Symbol’s right forearm guard and transformed into the Advance Timer.

ADVANCE TIME! Symbol turned the dial. SET UP! “It’s showtime!” she hit the thumb inwards. START! The Advance Timer started ticking.

“I shall respond in kind!” shouted Vergil as he pressed down on the Sorcerer Driver’s left Shift Lever before scanning the Gravity Ring across his Driver’s Hand Author. GRAVITY TRIGGER! NOW! Vergil held his left glove down to the ground as the Gravity Trigger magic circle appeared under his boots and rose up through him, transforming Vergil into his Upgraded Form, the Gravity Trigger Style.

Symbol pressed her Driver’s left Shift Lever twice as she darted forward. “Ha!” she punched Vergil, only for him to block with the Yamato Katana as she scanned her left glove across the Wizard Driver’s Hand Author. TOUCH TO CAST THE NEXT LEVEL! ADVANCE C TIER SPELL! Her left fist was covered in yellow magical energy as the emitters on her forearm guards hummed.

Vergil glanced down at them.

Just in time to get a charged fist to the faceplate. He went flying back, flipped through the air and landed on the ground. “Die!” he slid the Rapid Slash Ring onto his right glove, pressed his Driver’s right Shift Lever and ran toward his Sister after scanning the Ring across the Sorcerer Driver’s Hand Author. RAPID SLASH! NOW! The Yamato Katana was covered in light blue light and orange energy as Vergil dashed forward while spinning.

Symbol knew that she would not be able to move or defend in time, instincts kicked in and she hit the Advance Timer’s thumb inward. BREAKER ADVANCE! The Advance Breaker magic circle appeared in front of her and Breaker jumped out of it, hitting Vergil with a turning kick to the side.

Vergil grunted as he slid away and then charged at Breaker, drawing the Yamato Katana.

Breaker quickly hit her Driver’s left Shift Lever three times before scanning her left glove across her Driver’s Hand Author. TOUCH TO CAST THE NEXT LEVEL! ADVANCE BREAKER A TIER SPELL! She covered her left fist in red energy and punched the ground, sending up a cloud of dust and smoke. 

“That is not going to work!” Vergil swung the Yamato Katana, dispelling the cloud. Only to find no one there! “WHAT?!” shouted Vergil in shock. 

TOUCH TO CAST THE NEXT LEVEL! ADVANCE A TIER SPELL! That came from behind Vergil. TOUCH TO CAST THE NEXT LEVEL! ADVANCE BREAKER C TIER SPELL! He spun around, just in time to be sent flying by two charged fists to the chest plate.

Vergil shot through the air and grunted as he landed on the ground. He switched the Rapid Slash Ring for the Blistering Sword Ring and pressed down on his Driver’s right Shift Lever.

“Not a chance!” shouted Symbol as she hit the Advance Timer’s thumb inward. BLOCKER ADVANCE! The Blocker magic circle appeared and Blocker jumped out of it.

Vergil scanned his right glove across the Sorcerer Driver’s Hand Author. BLISTERING SWORDS! NOW! Ten swords of blue-orange energy appeared on either side of Vergil. “Die!” ordered the Kamen Rider as the swords shot forward, faster than the eye could see.

Blocker hit her Driver’s left Shift Lever once. The swords got closer as she scanned her left glove across her Wizard Driver’s Hand Author TOUCH TO CAST THE NEXT LEVEL! ADVANCE BLOCKER C TIER SPELL! She threw up her hands as the emitters summoned a square-shaped shield of blue energy, blocking the swords. The shield exploded and the blast wave shot at Vergil.

“She turned my own attack against me?!” shouted Vergil as he hit the Sorcerer Driver’s right Shift Lever and scanned his right glove across his Driver’s Hand Author. TRICK UP! NOW! Vergil teleported up in a blur of blue and orange.

“Just what I was waiting for,” smirked Symbol as she pressed the Advance Timer’s thumb inwards, twice. BOUNDER ADVANCE! BLASTER ADVANCE! The Blaster magic circle appeared in front of her and Blaster stepped out.

She pressed down on her Driver’s left Shift Lever three times before scanning her left glove across her Driver’s Hand Author. TOUCH TO CAST THE NEXT LEVEL! ADVANCE BLASTER A TIER SPELL! The emitters in her shin guards glow as she punched forward, firing a large beam of purple magical energy at Vergil.

KILLER BEE! NOW! “Die!” only for the Kamen Rider to jump into the air and do a flying kick. His boot was covered in red and orange energy as he shot toward Blaster.

TOUCH TO CAST THE NEXT LEVEL! ADVANCE BOUNDER B TIER SPELL! All of a sudden, the Bounder magic circle appeared next to Vergil, Bounder jumped out of it and covered her right boot in green energy, she slammed into Vergil’s leg and sent him off course.

ADVANCE WEAPON TIME!

“Argh!” shouted Vergil as he landed on the ground. He looked up as the situation got even worse for him.

Symbol pressed the Advance Timer’s thumb inward as the second clock hand reached the red section again. BREAKER ARTEMIS! The Breaker magic circle appeared next to Breaker.

She reached into it and pulled out the Breaker Artemis before snapping the chamber closed. BREAKER MATCH STRIKE! Red energy gathered around the Breaker Artemis and shot forward. Vergil swung the Yamato Katana, only for the projectile to turn into orange chains that wrapped around him.

“Ok, since this isn’t working!” Vergil broke the chains and switched the Gravity Ring for the Thunder Ring. He hit his Driver’s left Shift Lever and scanned his left glove across the Sorcerer Driver’s Hand Author. THUNDER TRIGGER! NOW! Vergil held his left glove into the air as the Thunder Trigger magic circle appeared above his helmet and fell through him.

BLOCKER ARTEMIS! “That was a big mistake, Vergil!” Symbol pointed out.

BOUNDER ARTEMIS! “How so?” asked Vergil as his Doppelganger appeared. 

BLASTER ARTEMIS! “I know that Style is weaker than the Gravity Trigger Style!” Symbol shouted. “The only advantage that you have is your Doppelganger, even then, you’re outnumbered two point five too one!” ADVANCE ARTEMIS! “Whereas we get stronger each second!”

ADVANCE PART TIME! “That is a good point, but what if I did this!” suddenly, Vergil had not one, not two, not three, but four Doppelgangers!

“Since when could you do that?!” demanded Symbol as one of the Doppelganger defeated Mega and X in seconds.

“A lot has changed in ten years, Sister!” shouted Vergil as he and his Doppelgangers raced forward.

Symbol gulped and hit The Advance Timer’s thumb inward once. ANGI AND RUDRA CLAWS! “YES!” shouted Symbol in joy.

An energy copy of the Angi and Rudra Phantom appeared behind Breaker, he wrapped his arms around her and was pulled into her body. There was a flash of red and blue light when it cleared, she now bore a silver rectangle on the back of each wrist with three claws coming out of them. The claws were coloured both red and blue with three jagged edges on the back of each of them.

Breaker stepped forward as one of the Doppelgangers slid the Spiral Sword Ring onto his right middle finger. He ran toward Breaker and slashed with his Yamato Katana. She blocked it with one Agni-Rudra Claw and slashed him with the other claw as he pressed his Driver’s right Shift Lever. The Doppelganger jumped back and scanned his right glove across his Sorcerer Driver’s Hand Author. SPIRAL SWORDS! NOW! He was surrounded by three rings of light blue energy swords that were crackling with green lightning. They slashed and shocked Breaker as she was unable to pull away in time.

ERROR!

She growled and pressed her Wizard Driver’s left Shift Lever once. The Doppelganger charged as she scanned her left glove across her Driver’s Hand Author. TOUCH TO CAST THE NEXT LEVEL! ADVANCE BREAKER C TIER SPELL! Her left Agni-Rudra Claw was covered in wind while the right surged with fire. She roared and swung them both around, cutting through the swords, the wind dispelled the lightning as she raked the claws over the Doppelganger several times.

The Doppelganger switched the Spiral Swords Ring for the Summon Sword Ring, he pressed down on his Driver’s right Shift Lever as Breaker kicked him away. Then he scanned his right glove across his Driver’s Hand Author as Breaker charged. SUMMON SWORD! NOW! A blue energy sword that was covered in green lightning appeared at shot at Breaker from behind. She spun around and shattered it with one swipe, but more started appearing around her.

ERROR!

One of the swords hit Breaker, so she pressed her Driver’s left Shift Lever twice, taking a sword across the backplate in the process. Then she scanned her left glove across her Driver’s Hand Author. TOUCH TO CAST THE NEXT LEVEL! ADVANCE BREAKER B TIER SPELL! She pulled back the Agni-Rudra Claws and drove them into the ground. Cracks of fire spread through it as wind gathered around her before both elements exploded outwards, destroying all of the swords and forcing the Doppelganger to stop summoning them as he had to move.

CERBERUS MOUTH!

Then Breaker performed a dropkick on the Doppelganger as she hit her Wizard Driver’s right Shift Lever three times. Then she spin-kicked the Doppelganger away as she scanned her right glove across her Driver’s Hand Author. TOUCH TO CAST THE NEXT LEVEL! ADVANCE BREAKER A TIER SPELL! Breaker locked the Agni-Rudra Claws over her helmet and started to spin. Fire and wind shot out of her boots, propelling her like a rocket into the Doppelganger, smashing him into the ground as well as grinding sparks out of his body.

Breaker landed on the ground and hit 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 BREAKER S TIER SPELL! THE BEST! Breaker slammed the Agni-Rudra claws into the ground, sending a surge of red energy into it. Tongues of flame came out of the ground and formed into a ball of fire. Breaker held both of the claws up as blue wind surged into the ball, making it balloon in size. Then she threw her claws forward, the orb smashed into the Doppelganger and exploded like a small sun. The Doppelganger's outline could be seen for a few seconds before he was erased by the sheer heat.

Suddenly, Symbol, Blocker and Bounder were thrown onto the ground near her, while Blaster slid back. 

Vergil and two Doppelgangers approached. 

Breaker noticed that, besides herself, only Blaster had been able to defeat a Doppelganger. Even then, the other Energy Clone looked a lot more beaten up then herself.

“I would suggest that you stop struggling, Sister,” spoke Vergil coldly. “And just give me your amulet!” 

“Small problem with that Vergil,” Symbol held up the Advance Timer, showing that the third clock hand had reached the yellow segment. “You just ran out of time,” she pressed the thumb inward. ADVANCE COMBINATION TIME!

Vergil watched as his Sister and her clones were pulled into the air, their magic circles appeared behind them as the clones broke down into energy that fused with her. Transforming Symbol into her Fusion Form; Full Advance Style.

“Impressive,” noted Vergil.

“Not as impressive as this!” Symbol pressed her Driver’s left Shift Lever three times, then she scanned left glove across her Driver’s Hand Author. TOUCH TO CAST THE NEXT LEVEL! FULL ADVANCE B TIER SPELL! There was a flash of movement and all of Vergil’s Doppelgangers were destroyed. He could do nothing to defend himself as Symbol swiped the Agni-Rudra Claws across his chest armour. His gem armour started to crack as Vergil tried to switch Rings. The clawed Rider came in with one swing of her claws, striking Vergil hard as he was sent flying across the platform, his armour breaking apart as he reverted back into his human form.

Symbol appeared in front of him. “It’s over, Brother.”

“It is not over until I can no longer stand!” shouted Vergil. “Henshin!” while Symbol had been attacking him, he had managed to switch the Thunder Ring for the Special Ring. While she had been taking, he had pressed the Sorcerer Driver’s left Shift Lever. SPECIAL! NOW! Symbol was forced back as the Special magic circle appeared in front of her Brother and moved back through him.

“Since when could you do that?!” demanded Symbol. 

“As I said, Sister, I have gained much power in the last ten years!” Vergil drew the Yamato Katana and it transformed into a silver Flute-Cane. It was about the same length as a spear and had a red spear tip at the end of it. This is the Yamato Cane.

“Well, I’m not giving up!” shouted Symbol as she pressed the Wizard Driver’s left Shift Lever once and scanned her left glove across the Hand Author. TOUCH TO CAST THE NEXT LEVEL! FULL ADVANCE D TIER SPELL! She charged with her Agni Rudra Claws being covered in yellow magical energy.

“As I have come to expect from you,” replied Vergil as he pressed down on the Yamato Cane's first button. SONG OF FIRE! A burning red aura covered the weapon and seeped over Vergil. He dodged a double uppercut from his sister and slashed her across the middle as she landed back on the ground. 

“Argh!” shouted Symbol as her armour vanished, reverting her to her human form; Sunset Shimmer Sparda. She fell to her knee, her eyes unseeing.

Vergil reached down and gently unclipped her amulet. “I am so, so, sorry,” he whispered to his Sister as he walked past her.

“Do you have it?” asked Arkham as he appeared beside Vergil.

“You knew my Sister was alive,” it was a statement, not a question.

“Yes,” replied Arkham after a moment.

“Then why did you not tell me this BEFORE I WAS KICKED BACK UP THE TOWER?!” demanded Vergil.

“I would not have wanted to spoil the surprise,” replied Arkaham.

“We will talk about this later!” snarled out Vergil.

MAGICAL TOUCH HENSHIN TO THE MAX: RISING UP: SYMBOL RISING!

Suddenly, Vergil was forced to turn around and block a fist from Sunset with the Yamato Katana. “Do you not know how to give up?!” he demanded.

Sunset replied by slamming her other fist into his chest, driving him back.

“Oh, wait, I forgot who I was talking to!” Vergil turned around.

“You are not going to fight her?” asked Arkham.

“We have all that we need,” replied Vergil. Echoing Arkham’s words from earlier.

With that he jumped off the tower, leaving his two siblings alone.
> S2E9 A Renewed Fear
> --------------------------------------------------------------------------

Dante grunted as he got back to his feet. He shook his head several times before walking over to the Rebellion Blade and picking it up. 

Then he knocked over a statue in anger.

“*Groan*!” came Sunset’s voice from off to the side.

Dante walked over to his sister and shook her awake. “Hey, you ok?” he asked her.

“I’ve been better,” replied Sunset Shimmer as she got back up. “What the hell was that about?” she demanded.

“To be perfectly honest, I have no idea,” replied Dante.

“What happened to Vergil?” asked Sunset. 

“Once again, I don’t know,” replied Dante. “We drifted apart after we thought you died. One day, I lost contact with him. We met again a year ago and he attacked me.”

“Just like that?” asked Sunset.

“Just like that,” replied Dante. “He took my amulet before throwing it back, saying he could take it at any time he wanted.”

“I don’t think that he’s acting by his own free will,” muttered Sunset.

“What makes you think that?” Dante gave his sister a disbelieving look.

“Instinct,” shrugged Sunset.

“Well your instincts are normally right, so I’ll take your lead on this one,” replied Dante.

There was a beat of silence.

“Want to do something fun to take your mind off it?” grinned Dante.

“Heck yeah!” smirked Sunset.

“Come on,” Dante walked toward the edge of the tower.

“Wait, we need to wait for the Gem Maidens to wake up!” called out Sunset.

“There is no need, Mistress,” spoke Lightning Dust from behind Sunset.

“Argh!” shouted Sunset as she jumped to the side.

“We have been awake for some time,” added Lyra from behind Sunset.

“Argh!” Sunset yelped again.

The other Gem Maidens did not speak.

“That was funny,” snickered Dante.

Sunset glared at her sibling as she scanned her right hand over her belt buckle. DRIVER ON! A magic circle appeared in front of it. PLEASE! Transforming it into the Wizard Driver. 

“HENSHIN!” Then she slid the Swift and Firestorm Rings onto her left index and ring fingers before pressed down on her Driver’s left Shift Lever, turning the Hand Author to the left. MAGICAL TOUCH HENSHIN! She scanned her left hand across the Wizard Driver’s Hand Author and punched it into the air. SWIFT PLEASE! DASH AWAY! The Swift magic circle appeared over her head. SPEED THROUGH THE FIRE AND WIND! Followed by the Firestorm magic circle. Both of them dropped through Sunset, transforming her into Kamen Rider Symbol Swift Style and then powering her up into the Swift Firestorm Style.

Dante did his best to put on a serious face as he scanned his right hand over his belt buckle. DRIVER ON! He failed as the belt buckle was transformed into the Gate Driver by a magic circle. “HEEEEEEENNNNNSHIN!” Dante punched the Rebellion Ring into the left side of the Gate Driver and turned his wrist forward. SET! OPEN! R-E-B-E-L-L-I-O-N! The Rebellion magic circle exploded out of the Gate Driver and moved back through Dante, transforming him into the Kamen Rider Dante Rebellion Style.

Then he punched the Swordmaster Ring into the Gate Driver’s right Slot. CHAMELEON! He turned his wrist forward. GO! Dante flung his right glove out to the side as the Chameleon Swordmaster magic circle appeared and moved through him. S-S-S-SWORDMASTER! His right shoulder pauldron transformed into the Chameleon Mantle.

“You should transform as well,” Symbol told the Gem Maidens.

“Yes, Master,” replied Lightning Dust and Gilda.

“Yes, Sir,” added Lyra and Bon Bon.

“Yes, Mistress,” replied Twilight Sparkle, Rainbow Dash and Applejack.

“As you wish, our Master,” saluted Rarity, Fluttershy and Pinkie Pie.

“My feminine pride still hates that,” muttered Symbol.

C-R-E-S-C-E-N-T R-O-S-E! W-I-N-D D-U-S-T! R-E-A-D-Y! “Henshin!” F-I-S-T O-N!

B-E-O-W-U-L-F! R-O-S-E S-P-E-E-D! R-E-A-D-Y! “Henshin!” F-I-S-T O-N!

FIRE TUNE! “Henshin!”

WATER TUNE! “Henshin!”

Flashes of light went off behind Dante and Symbol as the Gem Maidens combined into their Kamen Rider forms.

“So what was this fun thing you wanted to show me?” asked Symbol as they stood at the edge of the tower.

“This,” with that Dante jumped off the tower.

“Are you nuts?!” demanded Symbol. 

Dante kicked off the tower, he started firing Ebony and Ivory, shooting the Gargoyle Phantoms that had flown up to meet him. Next, he started jumping and kicking them around. 

Only to get swarmed by the Phantoms.

“DANTE!” shouted Symbol as she jumped off the tower, going after her brother. 

Only for the Phantoms to be destroyed as Dante drew the Rebellion Blade and started spinning around while firing the Ivory Handcannon. Dante threw the Rebellion Blade down, it spun through the air before spearing three Blood Gargoyle Phantoms.

“He’s become an even bigger adrenaline junkie than before!” muttered Symbol.

“Mistress, you are not in a place to talk,” scolded Swift Agni. 

“Especially since you jumped off the tower as well,” commented the Swift Rudra.

“That’s different,” replied Symbol as she blushed under her helmet.

Dante fired a bullet from the Ebony Handcannon. The bullet impacted the Rebellion Blade’s hilt and made the sword accelerate down as the kinetic transfer took place.

Dante raced down the tower, catching up with his sword as they both accelerated to the point they had heat coronas. 

Then he dramatically leapt off the side of the tower, admiring this reflection in the sword’s new edge. ‘So this is what you looked like when Pop wielded you, huh?’ thought Dante.

Then Symbol saw something that she didn’t like. “DANTE! LOOK OUT!” shouted the magic-based Kamen Rider.

“Huh?” questioned Dante.

Then he was swallowed by the Leviathan Phantom that had been flying around the tower.

“Dante you nutjob!” roared Symbol.

Drawing the Phantom’s attention to her.

“Oops,” muttered Symbol, right before she and the Gem Maidens were swallowed by the Phantom.

They landed on a piece of rubble.

Wait, rubble?

Kamen Rider Symbol looked around and gapped in shock. This Phantom must have eaten several cities! That was just a guess from all of the junk in his stomach!

“So how do we get out of this party?” asked Dante.

*WHAM!*

“Owie!” Dante clutched his helmet. “What was that for?!” he demanded of his sister.

“We wouldn’t be in this mess if it wasn’t for you!” shouted Symbol.

“How was I supposed to know that a giant snake would come and eat us?!” demanded Dante.

“What did you think was going to happen?!” demanded Symbol.

“Rock, paper, scissors,” challenged Dante. “Loser accepts that this is their fault!”

“Agreed!” replied Symbol. 

“Rock! Paper! Scissors! GO!” shouted both Kamen Riders.

“Ha! I win!” shouted Symbol, she had used paper.

“No, I lost,” Dante had a cloud of depression over his helmet. He had chosen rock.

Kamen Riders Weapon, Grimm, Mega and X all sweatdropped. Somehow, despite their inability to feel emotions.

“But still, how are we going to get out of here?” asked Kamen Rider Symbol as she looked around.

“Up there!” Dante pointed off to the side and ran up a wall. 

“Wait for us!” shouted Symbol as she used a street sign to flip up to an opening. 

That was covered by five tusks.

“Great! How the heck are we supposed to get through there?!” demanded Symbol.

“Like this!” Dante drew the Rebellion Blade and punched the Rebellion Ring into the back of it. ONE! REBELLION SABER STRIKE! He jumped into the air and pulled the sword back.

“Oh, this should be good,” chuckled Symbol.

“Breakdown!” Dante slammed the Rebellion Blade down. Only for it to bounce off the tusk he had hit and he was sent bouncing away.

Symbol watched as her brother fell to the floor of the Leviathan Phantom’s stomach with a loud crash. “What’s plan B, genius?” Symbol called down to Dante.

“I’m working on it!” shouted Dante weakly.

Symbol sighed. “Any ideas?” she asked anyone. Not expecting an answer.

“That appears to be an item of interest, Master,” replied Kamen Rider Weapon.

Kamen Rider Symbol was a bit startled. Normally the Gem Maidens did not talk unless spoken to. ‘Then again, I didn’t aim that question at anyone,’ she thought to herself. She looked to where Weapon was pointing and saw some sort of pulsing gland coming out of the stomach wall. “That is disgusting, but your right. That might have something to do with the tusks,” she turned to Kamen Rider Weapon. “Go check it out,” she ordered.

“Yes, Master,” replied Kamen Rider Weapon as she jumped across the gap, boosting herself with a blast of green wind. Then she pressed the right side of the Dust Knuckle into the left side of the Weapon Driver. S-C-Y-T-H-E! There was a flash of red light as the Crescent Scythe appeared in her left glove. W-I-N-D D-U-S-T C-H-A-R-G-E! The pole weapon was covered in roaring green wind as Kamen Rider Weapon brought it around. Blood sprayed out of a gland in a fountain.

One of the tusks withdrew from the entrance.

“Yes! It worked!” Kamen Rider Symbol looked around. “There’s the next one!”

“Yes, Sir,” replied Kamen Rider Grimm as she jumped down to the same ledge that Weapon was on, only she landed a bit further down.

“But, I didn’t even say anything,” muttered Symbol.

Grimm pressed the left side of the Aura Knuckle into the right side of the Grimm Driver. B-E-O-W-U-L-F B-I-T-I-N-G! Black mist covered her arms and the Beoclaws appeared. R-O-S-E S-P-E-E-D A-T-T-A-C-K! Grimm darted forward, her body transformed into rose petals that slashed at the gland until blood exploded out of it.

Another tusk withdrew from the hole, leaving only three to guard it.

“Where is the next one?” asked Symbol as she looked around the stomach.

“We can see it, Mistress,” replied Kamen Rider Mega.

“At least she waited for permission,” muttered Symbol. She turned to Kamen Riders Mega and X. “Then go,” she ordered.

“Yes, Mistress!” replied Mega. 

“As you wish, our master,” replied X.

They jumped down and landed next to the bus station. 

Mega slotted the Hard Knuckle Whistle into her Driver and then pressed down. HARD KNUCKLE! Her right knuckle glowed as she took aim at the gland, bracing her arm with her left glove.

X slotted the Electric Spark Whistle into her Driver and then hit it. ELECTRIC SPARK! Her right fist was covered in green lightning as she shot forward and punched the gland.

Mega fired her right knuckle, it shot past X and slammed into the gland.

Which then exploded into a shower of red blood.

The next tusk withdrew from the hole, leaving only two more tusks.

“Now where is the next gland?” muttered Symbol. “Spread out and search!” she ordered.

“Yes, Master!” replied Kamen Rider Weapon.

“Yes, Sir!” saluted Kamen Rider Grimm.

“Yes, Mistress,” attention Kamen Rider Mega.

“As you wish, our Master,” saluted X.

It took a minute, but Symbol found the fourth gland. It was just past the bus station and inside a narrow cave. “Found it!” she called out. Symbol dodged around a waterfall of stomach acid and pressed her Driver’s left Shift Lever once before scanning her left glove across her Driver’s Hand Author and holding Swift Rudra in front of the Wizard Driver. MAGICAL TOUCH GO! SWIFT! C RANK SPELL! She took aim at the gland as streams of blue wind gathered around Swift Rudra.

“Ashes to ashes,” began Swift Agni.

“Dust to dust!” finished Swift Rudra.

“Ha!” Symbol pulled the trigger, firing several bolts of blue wind that shot through the air and slicing the gland to pieces.

The second to last tusk withdrew, leaving only a single tusk blocking the hole.

“I’m back,” shouted Dante. 

“Argh!” screamed Symbol in surprise. “Where did you come from?!” 

“I finally got out of the blood vessel and I have a plan to get through the tusks!” proclaimed Dante.

“Too late,” Symbol pointed at the hole. 

Which was now open.

“What the-?!” shouted both Kamen Riders. “How-?!”

“Ok, stop!” Kamen Rider Symbol ordered. “We,” she gestured to herself and her Gem Maiden servants. “Found out that there are five glands scattered around the stomach. Destroying them forces the tusks to retract. I’m confused because all five tusks are retracted and we have only destroyed four of the five glands.”

“What do these glands look like?” asked Dante.

“Like a stalk with a pulsing eye on the end and three bone spikes coming from the base of them,” replied Symbol.

“Oh, I destroyed one of those on the way back up,” replied Dante.

“Without knowing what it was?!” demanded Symbol.

“I thought it was important,” defended Dante.

“You’re unbelievable at times!” Symbol threw up her gloves.

“And that’s what you love about me,” cheeked Dante.

The two of them ran around the hole, which closed up behind them.

They were now in the Leviathan’s intestine.

“...Are we inside this Phantom’s intestines?” Kamen Rider Symbol demanded.

“I’m afraid so,” replied Dante.

She shuddered. “I’ll need a wash after this.”

“What’s this stuff?” asked Dante, putting his hand toward the stomach acid that had pooled on the floor.

“DANTE! NO!” Kamen Rider Symbol shouted.

“Argh!” Dante pulled back his burning hand.

“Did you really think you’d be immune to acid. When this is the first time we’ve fought a Phantom that could use it?!” demanded Symbol.

“Well, I didn’t know what it was!” defended Dante.

“Dante, we just came out of a stomach,” deadpanned Symbol. “It doesn’t take a great leap of logic to figure out that stuff was acid.”

“Good point,” Dante allowed.

They ran into the next chamber. Which was cut in half by a membrane, behind which was the Leviathan Phantom’s beating heart that was divided into three separate sections!

“This thing has three hearts?!” demanded Symbol.

“Looks like it,” replied Dante.

Then they noticed a protuberance in the centre of the reinforced membrane.

"Let me guess," Dante said. "We need to find something to fit in there-" he pointed to a slot on the membrane "-to take the membrane down so we can destroy the heart and make this thing crash so we can get out?"

"...a viable conclusion," Swift Agni admitted as he appeared in a flash of yellow and red.

"A distinct possibility!" Swift Rudra agreed when he appeared in a flash of yellow and blue.

"You are getting better at this!" Swift Agni complimented.

"Soon you won't need our advice!" Swift Rudra pointed out.

"But we have never been inside a Leviathan before!" Swift Agni pointed out.

"So we have no idea!" Swift Rudra proclaimed.

The brother and sister duo glared at the two guns for a moment, before continuing on. 

“How are we back in the intestines?!” Kamen Rider Symbol demanded as they entered the next chamber. 

“It’s a phantom,” pointed out Dante. “He wouldn’t be a Phantom if his body followed human biology!” 

Suddenly there was a loud roar as what looked like the giant tapeworm Phantom they fought earlier appeared behind them, it started to chase Dante and Symbol along the narrow intestine. Chomping to get at them.

“What the hell is that?!” shouted Dante.

“My guess?” replied Symbol. “What passes for this Phantom’s immune system!” she slashed through a red membrane. “This way!” 

They dove down a narrow tunnel, out of the creature's reach.

“That was close,” panted Dante

The immune system made an attempted to reach them but was unable to fit into the tunnel. 

Then he turned around. “Oh come on!” In front of them were Envy Phantoms. 

They looked like Pride Phantoms, with no cloaks, serrated scythe and bandages across their faces with green bile pooling about them on the floor.

“They look like they’re halfway through digestion!” exclaimed Symbol.

“I know!” pointed out Dante.

One of the Envy Phantoms lunged at Symbol with his scythe. “Like that’s going to work!” she dodged back, only to find her speed greatly reduced. She had no time to react as the Phantom swiped her across her chest armour. “What the heck?! Why did I go so much slower?!” 

“That bile they emit slows us down! Use ranged attacks or high defence forms!” Dante instructed.

“Thank you for the advice, but I loth you for not telling me that sooner!” shouted Symbol.

“I didn’t think we were going to run into these things here of all places!” shouted Dante.

Let the battle begin.

Symbol growled as she slid the Arrow Blade and Turbo Rings onto her right fingers before pressing her Driver’s right Shift Lever. She blocked a slash from the Phantom with Swift Agni and scanned her right hand across the Wizard Driver’s Hand Author. MAGIC TOUCHIE HENSHIN! ARROW BLADE TURBO PLEASE! She held his right glove into the air as the three magic circles appeared over her head and fell through her. She held out her right glove and a new weapon appeared. 

It was a green metal bow with a black grip. Just above the grip was a hole with a green arrow going through it. The string was coloured green and the arrow’s metal feathers were coloured light green.

This is the Arrow Bow.

“Another upgrade? Nice!” Symbol took aim and pulled back the arrow letting green energy gather around the tip. “Fire!” Symbol let go, firing a single bolt of green energy that shot through the air and hit the Envy Phantom, sending him back. 

A single step. 

“Steady, are you?” asked Symbol as she pressed her Driver’s right Shift lever once. She used the Arrow Bow to block the Phantom’s scythe and then scanned her right glove across her Driver’s Hand Author. MAGIC TOUCHIE GO ARROW MAGIC PLEASE! Symbol pulled back the arrow as green energy spiralled around the Arrow Bow. “Here we go!” she fired a buzzsaw that was made of wind. It shot through the air and sawed into the Envy Phantom, who blocked the attack with his scythe.

The Envy Phantom gave out a wailing roar as he threw the attack to the side with a swing of his scythe. 

“Not bad,” commented Symbol as she gripped the Arrow Bow by its grip and pressed down on the Wizard Driver’s right Shift Lever. Then she blocked the Envy Phantom’s scythe with her weapon and punched him back before scanning her right glove across her Driver’s Hand Author. MAGIC TOUCHIE GO! BLADE MAGIC PLEASE! Orange energy covered the weapon as Symbol slashed it twice. This action fired a pair of orange buzzsaw constructs. They shot through the air, the Envy Phantom knocked them away, only for them to spin back and cut into him from either side.

The Phantom roared in pain as he released more bile from his body dispelling Symbol’s attack, he ran toward her. “I’m not letting you get into close range!” Symbol shouted as she hit her Driver’s right Shift Lever three times. She ducked under a swing, only to slow down and take a slash across the chest armour. “Argh!” she scanned her right glove across the Wizard Driver’s Hand Author. MAGIC TOUCHIE GO! TURBO MAGIC PLEASE! A black buzzsaw construct covered the Arrow Bow as Symbol darted forward and slashed upward, cutting into the Envy Phantom, sending him stumbling back.

“Now, the finale!” pointed out Symbol as she pressed her Driver’s left Shift Lever four times, the Envy Phantom got back up and ran toward her as she scanned her left glove across her Driver’s Hand Author. MAGICAL TOUCH GO! VERY NICE! SWIFT! S RANK SPELL! THE BEST! A yellow buzzsaw appeared around her right boot. Yellow energy covered Symbol’s body as she bent down and then leapt into the air. “CHARGED BUZZSAW END!” roared Symbol as her boot impacted the Phantom. Sparks flew from the Phantom as a yellow line was cut through him. Symbol landed back on the ground as the Envy Phantom fell over backwards and went up in a large explosion.

SET! OPEN! A-R-B-I-T-E-R! An Envy Phantom was forced back as Dante transformed into the Arbiter Style. He gave the Phantom no time to recover as he punched the Arbiter Ring into the Arbiter Axe’s slot. ONE! AXE STRIKE! “Here we go!” red energy ran up the Arbiter Axe’s shaft and into the blade, Dante swung it down, firing a spinning axe head construct. It sawed into the Envy Phantom’s scythe as the Phantom struggled to force the attack back.

“You’re not going to have a chance!” shouted Dante as he slammed the Arbiter Ring into the back of the Arbiter Axe once more. TWO! AXE STRIKE! Red energy swirled inward around the Arbiter Axe as Dante pulled it back in both hands. He slammed it into the ground, firing a line of red magical energy. It went under the Envy Phantom’s feet.

The Phantom gained an ‘uh oh!’ look.

Right before he was catapulted into the air.

“I have you now!” Dante turned the Arbiter Axe’s handle. GRAPPLE MODE! The axe transformed into the Demon Pull. Dante hooked onto the Evony Phantom, slamming him back down into the ground.

“Here we go!” AXE MODE! The Demon Pull transformed back into the Arbiter Axe as Dante jumped into the air. He punched the Arbiter Ring into the back of the polearm weapon. FIVE! AXE STRIKE! Red energy gathered around the Axe as Dante pulled it back and swung it down. The weight of the axe pulled Dante down and he smashed the weapon onto the floor.

Wait, the floor?

What happened to the Phantom?!

The answer:

The Envy Phantom had rolled out of the way and cut Dante across the side. 

“Argh! Bastard!” snarled out the Kamen Rider as he punched the Phantom across the face while pressing the Eryx Ring into the Gate Driver’s left slot. GO! KICK STRIKE! Red energy roared around Dante’s body as he used the boost in power to leap into the air. The energy gathered around his right boot as Dante came down with an axe kick. “STRIKE AXE!” roared Dante as his boot made contact with the Phantom, sending up a blast of flame and red smoke. Dante appeared outside the smoke as the Phantom vanished into thin air.

The group ran into the next room.

“Is that the Phantom’s eye?” asked Symbol.

“Looks like it,” pointed out Dante.

“How?! Why is an eye connected to an intestine?!” demanded Symbol.

“As I said before, Phantom biology is weird,” commented Dante.

Symbol growled as they ran toward a flesh lump in the centre of the retina. Poking out of which was a blue orb. 

Suddenly, it was pulled back into the lump with a membrane curtain appearing around it.

“So close!” shouted Symbol.

Then the Envy Phantoms appeared from the ground.

“That was creepy and disgusting,” commented Symbol.

Let the battle begin!

Symbol switched the Swift Ring for the Giga and Guardian Rings. She pressed her Driver’s left Shift Lever as she blocked a slash with the Arrow Bow. Then she scanned her left glove across her Driver’s Hand Author. MAGICAL TOUCH HENSHIN! GIGA PLEASE! BREAKTHROUGH! SMASH THE ICE! Symbol held her left glove down to the ground as the Giga magic circle appeared under her boots and rose up through her, transforming her into the Giga Style. Then she held out her left glove and the Giga Axe dropped out of a smaller Giga magic circle. 

“Ball!” The Cerberus Phantom Familiar jumped out of a smaller Giga magic circle and combined with the Giga Axe, transforming it into the Giga Cerberus. 

Symbol pointed him down as the Guardian magic circle appeared under her boots and rose up through her, transforming her into the Giga Guardian Style.

“All right! Let’s get to work!” Symbol took a slash across her left shoulder pauldron. She took no damage as she pressed her Driver’s left Shift Lever. Then she scanned her left glove across the Wizard Driver’s Hand Author as she hit the Envy Phantom with the hammer part of Giga Cerberus. Symbol held Giga Cerberus so that his collar was in front of the Driver. MAGICAL TOUCH SPELL! GIGA CERBERUS C RANK SPELL! She slammed the hammer part of Giga Cerberus into the ground, summoning a cube of ice from it. 

“Ball!” shouted Giga Cerberus.

Then she kicked it toward the Phantom, he had no time to move and was hit by the block. It shattered, freezing the Phantom solid.

“Now’s my chance!” Symbol pressed her Driver’s left Shift Lever once. She kicked another Envy Phantom away as she scanned her left glove across the Wizard Driver’s Hand Author. MAGICAL TOUCH SPELL! GIGA C RANK SPELL! She covered her right fist in green energy as she ran forward and punched the frozen Phantom. This shattered the ice and making a badly injured Envy Phantom break into the border of the retina.

“Let’s go to the next level!” shouted Symbol as she slid the Bombardment, Drill, High-speed and Furance Rings onto her right glove. Then she hit her Driver’s right Shift Lever and scanned her right glove across her Driver’s Hand Author. MAGIC TOUCHIE HENSHIN! BOMBARDMENT DRILL HIGH-SPEED FURNACE PLEASE! Symbol held her right glove down to the ground as the four magic circles appeared under her boots and rose up through her. A dark blue cannon appeared over her right shoulder pauldron.

This is the Bombardment Spell Channel.

“So this form has powered up as well? Neet!” commented Symbol. She hit her Driver’s right Shift Lever once and then scanned her right glove across the Wizard Drive’rs Hand Author. MAGIC TOUCHIC GO! BOMBARDMENT MAGIC PLEASE! She took aimed and fired three blasts of blue energy from the Bombardment Spell Channel, they spiralled around each other and ground the Envy Phantom even further into the retina.

“The finale!” proclaimed Symbol as she hit her Driver’s left Shift Lever four times. Then she scanned her left glove across the Wizard Driver’s Hand Author. MAGICAL TOUCH GO! VERY NICE! GIGA! S RANK SPELL! THE BEST! Blue energy gathered around the Bombardment Spell Channel. “BOMBARDMENT BUSTER!” Symbol fired a column-sized beam of blue fire that roared through the air at high-speeds and washed over the Phantom, releasing a powerful explosion as the Envy Phantom vanished.

Kamen Rider Weapon dodged back from a slash and kicked the Envy Phantom back while he was in recovery. She removed the Dust Knuckle from the left side of the Weapon Driver. She removed the Crescent Rose Whistle and replaced it with a new Whistle. It was green with a pink head that looked like a pair of guns. S-T-O-R-M-F-L-O-W-E-R! Kamen Rider Weapon pressed the right side of the Dust Knuckle into her right palm. R-E-A-D-Y! Then she reconnected the Knuckle to the Driver. F-I-S-T O-N! The holographic suit of armour shot out and slammed back into her. The scythe and rifle on her chest plate transformed into a pair of green guns.

The Envy Phantom had recovered from being smashed in the face by a suit of armour and lunged for Weapon. She pressed the right side of the Dust Knuckle into the left side of the Weapon Driver. G-U-N! She held out both gloves and a pair of handheld SMG’s appeared in them. They were both coloured green and had pink outlines. W-I-N-D D-U-S-T C-H-A-R-G-E! She pointed them at the Envy Phantom and unleashed a barrage of bullets that forced him to stop his charge and back away from the Kamen Rider.

But Kamen Rider Weapon was not prepared to allow that to happen.

She ran toward the Phantom as she pressed the Dust Knuckle into the Weapon Driver twice more. B-L-A-D-E! The Storm Guns transformed, their handles turned into a pair of blades while the barrels turned into handles as their openings closed up. W-I-N-D D-U-S-T P-O-W-E-R-E-D! Both of the Flower Daggers were covered by green wind and Weapon darted forward and slashed the Phantom. She carved a green X into his chest before the wind expanded into a dome that shredded him to pieces.

Then she kicked an Envy Phantom over to Grimm, booted another Phantom over Mega.

Suddenly, an Envy Phantom dropped out of the ceiling and onto her backplate. Weapon threw him off, then she cut him to pieces with the Flower Daggers.

Weapon stabbed another Envy Phantom through the head and then threw a Phantom at Symbol.

“Watch it!” shouted her Mistress.

“Sorry, Master,” replied Weapon.

“My feminine pride still hates that,” growled out Symbol as she finished off the Phantom.

Symbol grabbed the Ignis Fatuus as the membrane pulled back. “Let’s go team!” she ordered as they ran through the hole.

Only to be bathed in darkness.

“Hey! Who turned out the lights?!” shouted Symbol.

“The logical conclusion is that the Ignis Fatuus was the source of the lightning inside this Phantom,” spoke up Kamen Rider Grimm. “Now that it has been removed, the lighting has ceased.”

“Huh, that actually makes sense,” spoke Dante.

They ran through the intestine, into the next area.

Only for another Tapeworm Phantom to appear.

“Not this again!” roared Dante and Symbol. They ran for it and quickly outran the Phantom, passing through a narrow gap that the Phantom could not fit through.

“So now we’re back in the stomach?” asked Symbol as she looked around.

“Yep,” replied Dante.

“Just checking,” stated Symbol.

The Phantoms arrived.

Let the battle being.

Symbol pressed down on her Driver’s right Shift Lever twice as she kicked a Phantom off the ledge they were on. Then she scanned her right glove across the Wizard Driver’s Hand Author as the Phantom started to climb back up. MAGIC TOUCHIC GO! DRILL MAGIC PLEASE! She quickly charged up the Bombardment Spell Channel and fired a blast of purple energy. It took on the shape of a drill and then caught fire. The Envy Phantom was hit and blasted to the bottom of the stomach.

Kamen Rider Symbol looked around and did a double-take when she saw the sheer number of Phantoms that were charging at them. “Alright, enough is enough!” she switched out the two Rings on her left glove for the Advance Ring and pressed her Driver’s left Shift Lever. She jumped up and kicked a Phantom back as she scanned her left glove across her Driver’s Hand Author. TOUCH TO ADVANCE YOUR CLASS! ADVANCE PLEASE! Symbol held her left glove out in front of her as the Advance magic circle appeared in front of her and moved back through her, transforming Symbol into the Advance Style.

Symbol thrust her right glove into the air. “Come! Advance Timer!”

TO BATTLE! MY MISTRESS! Shouted the Crow Bit Phantom as he came shooting out of the air and latched onto her right forearm guard, transforming into the Advance Timer. ADVANCE TIME!

“Hey!” Symbol noted that it only had a single clock hand. “You’ve got an upgrade as well? That’s great!” she was brought back to reality by a slash from an Envy Phantom. “Right, in the middle of a fight!” she turned the Advance Timer’s dial. SET UP! “It’s showtime!” then she hit the thumb inward. START! The Advance Timer started ticking.

She pressed her Driver’s left Shift Lever once after kicking an Envy Phantom in the face. Then she spun around, delivering a tornado kick as she scanned her left glove across the Wizard Driver’s Hand Author. TOUCH TO CAST THE NEXT LEVEL! ADVANCE C TIER SPELL! Using the momentum from her kick, she punched the Envy Phantom with a left hook. The emitters on her forearm guards glowed, firing a blast of yellow energy from her fist that turned the Phantom’s head to ash.

Suddenly, three Envy Phantom’s closed in on Symbol from all sides. She pressed down on her Driver’s left Shift Lever twice as the Phantoms closed in. Then she scanned her left glove across the Wizard Driver’s Hand Author as the Envy Phantom’s swung at her. TOUCH TO CAST THE NEXT LEVEL! ADVANCE B TIER SPELL! The emitters in her shoulder pauldron glowed as Symbol vanished in a blur. The Phantoms missed and were all struck in the head with a fast elbow strike. Cracks spread from their heads until the Phantoms exploded.

Suddenly, a pair of Envy Phantoms charged at Symbol from either side. “That will not work!” she pressed her Driver’s left Shift Lever three times. The Phantoms got closer as she scanned her left glove across the Wizard Driver’s Hand Author. TOUCH TO CAST THE NEXT LEVEL! ADVANCE A TIER SPELL! The emitters on her shin armour flared as a bubble of yellow light appeared around her, blocking the attacks.

“But that’s not all!” Symbol pulled the energy into her arms and punched both of the Phantoms, their heads snapped to the side and their necks broke.

“Now!” Symbol pressed the Advance Timer’s thumb inward. BREAKER ADVANCE! The Advance Breaker magic circle appeared and Breaker jumped out of it.

She pressed her Driver’s left Shift Lever twice as she ran at an Envy Phantom. Then she scanned her left glove across her Wizard Driver’s Hand Author as she approached the Phantom. TOUCH TO CAST THE NEXT LEVEL! ADVANCE BREAKER C TIER SPELL! The emitters on her shoulder pauldrons glowed. Red energy wrapped around her right fist as she pulled it back and punched the Envy Phantom, sending him flying through the air at high-speed.

Symbol pressed the Advance Timer’s thumb inward. BLOCKER ADVANCE! The Advance Blocker magic circle appeared in the air and Blocker jumped out of it.

She saw a Phantom running at Symbol from behind and pressed her Driver’s left Shift Lever once. Symbol noticed the Envy Phantom too late as Blocker scanned her left glove across her Driver’s Hand Author. TOUCH TO CAST THE NEXT LEVEL! ADVANCE BLOCKER C TIER SPELL! She held up her left glove as the emitters on her forearm guards started glowing. A square-shaped shield appeared between the Phantom and Symbol. The Envy Phantom slashed the shield, causing it to explode and the Phantom was sent shooting back through the air.

“Thanks!” shouted Symbol as she pressed the Advance Timer’s thumb inward again. BOUNDER ADVANCE! The Advance Bounder magic circle appeared in the air and Bounder jumped out of it.

She zoomed up through the air and struck the Envy Phantom as she pressed her Driver’s left Shift Lever once. Then she scanned her left glove across her Wizard Driver’s Hand Author after kicking the Envy Phantom back down to the ground. TOUCH TO CAST THE NEXT LEVEL! ADVANCE BOUNDER C TIER SPELL! Bounder landed on the roof and covered her left fist in green energy as the emitters on her forearm guards hummed. She shot down and slammed her charged fist into the Envy Phantom, smashing him into the ground, a crater formed under him before he exploded in a storm of green fire.

“We’re making progress,” Symbol pressed the Advance Timer’s thumb inward again. BLASTER ADVANCE! The Advance Blaster magic circle appeared in the air. ADVANCE WEAPON TIME! The Advance Timer’s clock hand started its second lap.

Blaster jumped out of the magic circle and landed on the ground. She pressed her Wizard Driver’s left Shift Lever twice. TOUCH TO CAST THE NEXT LEVEL! ADVANCE BLASTER B TIER SPELL! A ring of purple energy spheres appeared around Blaster as the emitters on her shoulder pauldrons glowed. She flung her arms out and the orbs took off, arching through the air and back down, they slammed into several Phantoms and exploded, destroying them.

Bounder noticed a Phantom about to attack Breaker from behind and pressed her Wizard Driver’s left Shift Lever twice. Then she darted forward as she scanned her left glove across her Driver’s Hand Author. TOUCH TO CAST THE NEXT LEVEL! ADVANCE BOUNDER B TIER SPELL! The emitters on her shoulder pauldrons glowed as she accelerated. She zipped around and slammed both of her boots into the Envy Phantom, breaking his head off his body.

Symbol saw the Advance Timer’s hand had completed its second rotation and pressed the thumb inward. ARTEMIS! The Advance, Breaker, Bounder, Blocker and Blaster magic circles appeared next to Symbol and their respective Energy Clones. They reached in and pulled out their Artemis Weapons.

“That was fast!” muttered Symbol in a fair bit of shock. She snapped the Advance Artemis Chamber closed. ADVANCE MATCH STRIKE! She took aim and fired a blast of ice that hit the ground and turned into a wave of ice. The wave swallowed and crushed three Envy Phantoms.

Breaker held the Breaker Artemis as a sword and snapped the chamber closed. BREAKER MATCH STRIKE! The Breaker Artemis extended to five times its original length and then froze over, becoming a giant sword. Breaker swung the sword down, crushing three of the Phantoms under it and then slamming four more into the side of the stomach as he swung the sword around. She crushed them a second later.

Blocker blocked a slash from an Envy Phantom and snapped the Blocker Artemis closed. BLOCKER MATCH STRIKE! Blue energy covered the rifle as it ballooned in size. Blocker swung it down as a chainsaw construct formed around the weapon. The chainsaw sounded like it was hitting metal. 

Oh wait, it was! 

The chainsaw struck the scythe’s of several Envy Phantoms and cut straight through them. The Envy Phantoms that had tried to block were all sawn in half.

Bounder snapped the Bounder Artemis closed as she ducked under a slash. BOUNDER MATCH STRIKE! Green energy gathered around the weapon, covering it. Bounder slashed through the air, firing an arrow and a buzzsaw construct that rocketed around, cutting several Envy Phantoms to pieces.

While Symbol had been taking out Phantom after Phantom, Grimm jumped back and kicked an Envy Phantom in the face. Then she removed the Aura Knuckle from the right side of the Grimm Driver. She removed the Beowulf Whistle and replaced it with a new Whistle. It was white the head was black and in the shape of two snakes. K-I-N-G T-A-I-J-I-T-U! Grimm pressed the left side of the Aura Knuckle into her right palm. R-E-A-D-Y! Then she slotted it into the Grimm Driver. F-I-S-T O-N! The holographic suit of armour appeared, knocking the Envy phantom back, then it slammed into her. The Beowulf on her chest armour transformed into a pair of snakes. One was white and the other was black. Both had red eyes and bones spikes coming out of their bodies.

Then she pressed the left side of the Aura Knuckle into the right side of the Grimm Driver. K-I-N-G T-A-I-J-I-T-U B-I-T-I-N-G! She held up her hands and the Cobra Staff appeared in a blast of black mist. It was a four-foot-long staff with a King Taijitu wrapped around it. She blocked a slash from the Envy Phantom and forced him back with a thrust. R-O-S-E S-P-E-E-D A-T-T-A-C-K! The second command kicked in and she unleashed several blinding fast wacks as her body was covered in a red aura. Sparks flew from the Phantom as he stumbled back. 

The barrage ended and Grimm pressed the Aura Knuckle into the Grimm Driver twice more. K-I-N-G T-A-I-J-I-T-U T-E-A-R-I-N-[/b]G! Grimm was covered in a black a white aura before she suddenly split in two!

“Did you know about that?” Dante asked his sister as he bent an Envy Phantoms arm the wrong way.

“I had no idea she could do that!” shouted Symbol as she kicked another Envy Phantom away.

R-O-S-E S-P-E-E-D B-A-T-T-L-E! Grimm and her clone raced at the Envy Phantom. His head was hit by one staff, then another staff slammed into his cheek. His legs were knocked out from under him and he was sent flying through the air like a baseball. He slammed into a street sign and looked up, just in time to get both staffs driving through his face. Cracks spread through his body from the two holes before he exploded.

The two Grimms glowed, one shone white and the other was covered in black. The two of them moved toward each other and merged back into the single Kamen Rider.

The group ran through the intestine and then back into the stomach.

“Alright, let’s get out of this thing!” snarled Symbol.

“Yeah,” added Dante.

They were all truly fed up with being inside a Phantom.

“Ok, I’m ready to get out of this Phantom,” stated Symbol. 

“Me too, let's get out of this thing.” 

It had become progressively more disguising as they went through this Phantom. 

Symbol slotted the Ignus Fatuus into the protuberance.

The membrane instantly dissolved and the fight started.

There were three hearts, the centre one, the left heart and the right heart. 

Then the situation got worse as the Phantoms arrived.

“You lot,” Symbol turned to her Gem Maiden Servants. “Keep the Phantoms off us!” she ordered. “Dante and I will take care of the hearts!” 

“Yes, Master,” replied Weapon.

“Yes, Sir,” added Grimm.

“Yes, Mistress,” replied Mega.

“As you command, our Master,” replied X.

LIGHT TUNE! Mega transformed into her Light Tune and then drew her Light Saber. She slashed one Envy Phantom and then slotted a new Whistle into the Mega Driver. It was orange with the head being in the shape of a raindrop. Mega blocked another slash from the Envy Phantom and pressed down on her Driver. RAINFLUSH! Kamen Rider Mega threw her left glove into the air and hundreds of bolts of light shot out of the air. They slammed into the Envy Phantom and forced him to take several steps back in pain in order to escape the bombardment.

LIQUID TUNE! There was a splash of water as Mega transformed into her Liquid Tune. Then she added a new Whistle to the Mega Driver. It was blue and the head was in the shape of a drill. She pressed down on the Driver as the Envy Phantom started to recover. DRILL BOMB! Mega threw her left glove forward and fired a drill shaped bomb. It drilled into the Envy Phantom and sent him flying through the air when it exploded.

“Continuing attack!” droned Kamen Rider Mega as she added another Whistle to the Mega Driver. It was blue and the head was in the shape of a solar fireball. PHARAOH SHOT! A ball of fire appeared in her right glove and she threw it at the Envy Phantom. He had just gotten up in time for a ball to hit him and sent him shooting through the air, smoking.

LIGHT TUNE! Mega switched back into her light tune and added another Whistle to the Mega Driver. It was orange with the head being in the shape of a Pharoh. She pressed down on the Driver. PHARAOH WAVE! Mega drew her Light Saber and slashed down, firing a pair of energy crescents that slammed into the Phantom and drove him back into a wall.

THUNDER TUNE! Mega was covered in a burst of lightning as she transformed into the Thunder Tune. Then she added another new Whistle to the Mega Driver. It was green and the head was in the shape of a ring. She pressed down on the Driver. RING BOOMERANG! Mega made a circle with her thumb and index finger. Then she grabbed the edge of the circle that threw it at the Phantom. The Envy Phantom was able to block with the shaft of his scythe but was thrown off balance.

LIQUID TUNE! Mega transformed back into her Liquid Tune to finish off the Phantom. It was blue and the top of it looked like a ball of scrap. She pressed down on the Mega Driver. DUST CRUSHER! She held up her gloves and junk rose up off the ground in a blue glow. She compressed the junk into a ball and threw it forward. It smashed into the Phantom and exploded, destroying the Envy Phantom in a powerful explosion. 

Symbol jumped into the air, avoiding a blast from the left heart. “How are we having so much trouble fighting an INTERNAL ORGAN?!” she yelled in frustration.

“I DON’T KNOW!” Dante shouted back, equally annoyed.

ADVANCE PART TIME! It was at that second that the Advance Timer started its third rotation.

Symbol snapped the Advance Artemis closed and took aim as yellow energy started to build up around the barrel. “Die, organ, die!” Symbol pulled the trigger. ADVANCE MATCH STRIKE! Yellow lightning covered the Advance Artemis as Symbol darted forward. She slashed down, cutting into the left heart and igniting explosions along the path of her slash.

Dante punched the Trigger Ring into the back of the Rebellion Magnum. THREE! DEVIL! MAGNUM STRIKE! Red energy gathered around the magnum’s barrel as Dante pointed it to the ground and fired a blast. It shot into the floor and then burst out, hammering into the right heart from beneath.

Symbol saw that the Advance Timer had reached the red section and pressed down on its thumb. ANGI AND RUDRA CLAWS! The Agni and Rudra avatar appeared around Advance Breaker and wrapped around her, fusing with her and transforming her arms into the Agni and Rudra Claws. 

She quickly hit her Wizard Driver’s left Shift Lever twice and scanned her left glove across her Driver’s Hand Author. TOUCH TO CAST THE NEXT LEVEL! ADVANCE BREAKER B TIER SPELL! Her left claw was covered fire and the other was sheathed in wind. She drew them both back and slammed them into the ground, firing a line of fire and wind that slammed into the centre heart, blowing through its shell and damaging it. 

“What?!” shouted Dante. “How did she do that?!” 

“Best guess is that a second-level upgrade form has enough power to break through!” shouted Symbol.

“No fair!” whined Dante.

“Less whining and more shooting!” shouted Symbol.

“I was not whining!” roared Dante.

Symbol didn’t bother to reply as she saw the Advance Timer had reached the blue section. She pressed the thumb. ERROR! “I’m not surprised,” muttered the Kamen Rider.

Advance Blocker saw the left heart charging up a beam. She opened the Blocker Artemis and spun the chamber before snapping it closed. Blue energy started to charge. BLOCKER MATCH STRIKE! Blue energy was gathered around the sword part as she brought it back and slammed it into the ground, summoning a wall of earth spikes. The heart fired its energy beam, only for the wall to block it in a spray of sparks.

“Thank you!” shouted Dante as he jumped into the air and punched the Trigger Ring into the back of the Rebellion Magnum. FOUR! DEVIL! MAGNUM STRIKE! Red energy pulsed around the gun as Dante took aim and fired a beam. It shot down through the air and smashed into the left heart, igniting explosions along its length.

Bounder shot to one end of the chamber and punched down on her Driver’s left Shift Lever. Then she scanned her left glove and the Bounder Ring across her Wizard Driver’s Hand Author. TOUCH TO CAST THE NEXT LEVEL! ADVANCE BOUNDER B TIER SPELL! The emitters in her shoulder pauldrons glowed as she shot forward and did a flying kick, slamming into the left heart, making it buckle under the pressure.

Symbol noted that the Advance Timer had reached the green section. Despite already knowing what was going to happen, she pressed the thumb inward. ERROR! “Why me?! Woah!” she jumped out of the way as the right heart fired several spheres of purple energy at her. “Hey! That’s Blaster’s move!” shouted Symbol.

Blaster clearly agreed as she pulled open the Blaster Artemis and spun the chamber before snapping it closed. BLASTER MATCH STRIKE! Purple magic energy gathered around the blade as she slashed down, firing a vertical crescent of purple energy. It shot through the air and slammed into the left heart, cutting sparks from the organ.

“Thanks for the opening!” shouted Dante as he pressed the Trigger Ring into the back of the Rebellion Magnum. SIX! DEVIL! MAGNUM STRIKE! Dante took aim and fired a column sized beam. It roared through the air and thundered into the right heart, sparks splashed off the damaged area. 

They could hear the Phantom scream in pain.

“Keep up the pressure! We’re doing something!” ordered Symbol.

At that moment, she noticed that the Advance Timer had reached the purple section. “It’s about time,” she avoided a blast from the centre heart and then jumped over a barrage from the right heart. Suddenly, a blast from the left heart caught her in the chest armour. CERBERUS MOUTH! But she was able to press the Advance Timer’s thumb inward while being sent flying.

The Cerberus avatar appeared around Blaster, it ran around her and then phased through her backplate, emerging as three Cerberus heads. 

She pressed her Driver’s left Shift Lever twice, then she avoided a blast from the left heart as she scanned her left glove across her Wizard Driver’s Hand Author. TOUCH TO CAST THE NEXT LEVEL! ADVANCE BLASTER C TIER SPELL! The left Cerberus Head spat out a line of ice spikes. They crawled along the ground and impaled the centre heart. Just like with Breaker before, her attack bulldozed straight through the shell.

Dante tanked a blast from the right heart and punched the Trigger Ring into the back of the Rebellion Magnum. TWO! DEVIL! MAGNUM STRIKE! “Payback for that attack from earlier!” Dante took aim and fired three blasts of red energy that shot through the air and slammed into the left heart, blowing several black marks into it.

Suddenly, Blocker saw the centre heart open and start charging an energy blast once more. She pressed her Driver’s left Shift Lever twice and then scanned her left glove across her Wizard Driver’s Hand Author. TOUCH TO CAST THE NEXT LEVEL! ADVANCE BLOCKER B TIER SPELL! The emitters on her shoulder pauldrons glowed light blue as a circle-shaped shield appeared in front of the centre heart. 

The heart fired.

The energy beam splashed against the barrier in a splay of mana sparks. The shield held and the heart quickly ran out of energy. 

Symbol saw the Advance Timer had reached the yellow section once more. ADVANCE COMBINATION TIME! She pressed the thumb inward and was pulled into the air, as were her Energy Clones. They were arranged in their order, Breaker above Symbol, Blocker to the left, Bounder below and Blaster to the right. Their magic circles appeared behind them. The Energy Clones were broken down into streams of magic energy that were pulled inside Symbol. There was a blast of light as she transformed into her fusion form, the Full Advance Style.

“Let’s give it all we’ve got!” shouted Symbol.

“What do you think we’ve been doing?!” shouted Dante.

“Not hitting the heart hard enough!” replied his sister.

“What is that supposed to mean?!” demanded Dante.

“Exactly what it sounds like!” shouted Symbol.

Dante turned the Trigger Ring into its Angel mode, then he punched it into the left side of the Gate Driver. TRIGGER! GO! ANGEL! AN-AN-AN-ANGEL! The Angel Trigger magic circle appeared from the Gate Driver and moved back through Dante. He threw his arms out to the side as the magic circle transformed him into the Angel Trigger Style.

“Nice choice,” Symbol pressed the Wizard Driver’s left Shift Lever, she avoided a barrage of purple energy orbs as she scanned her left glove across her Driver’s Hand Author. TOUCH TO CAST THE NEXT LEVEL! FULL ADVANCE D TIER SPELL! Yellow magical energy covered her left fist as she shot forward and punched the right heart. Her fist emitted a blast of yellow energy that tore through the heart and caused it to deflate.

“Ew!” squealed Symbol as she jumped away. “That has got to be the most disgusting thing I’ve ever seen!”

“Me too,” replied Dante. “SUNSET LOOK OUT!” he pressed the Trigger Ring into the back of Rebellion Magnum. ANGEL FIVE! MAGNUM STRIKE! He jumped into the air and fired a beam of energy. It cut through the air and then arched upward. It flew past Symbol and cut through an energy bolt that had been shot at her by the left heart.

“Thanks!” shouted Symbol as she pressed her Driver’s left Shift Lever once and then scanned her left glove across the Wizard Driver’s Hand Author as the left heart started charging up once more. TOUCH TO CAST THE NEXT LEVEL! FULL ADVANCE D TIER SPELL! The heart fired, only for Symbol to zoom to the right in a burst of speed. She shot toward the heart and gave it a somersault kick that fired a burst of yellow energy through it. The heart deflected like a balloon.

“It gets more and more disgusting each time,” muttered Dante.

“Agreed!” shouted Symbol as she pressed the Advance Timer’s thumb inward. FULL ADVANCE ARTEMIS! She reached into the Advance magic circle that appeared to her left and pulled out an Artemis weapon. Like the others, it was in the shape of a hunting rifle. It was coloured yellow with the stock having red outlines. The barrel had blue outlines while the main body had green outlines. Finally, the blade had purple outlines. The weapon had four barrels, each of which had a revolver chamber connected to the back of them.

“No fair, why do you get all of the new weapons?” whined Dante.

“I recall saying something similar when you got your second shotgun,” replied Symbol icily. Having not forgotten the mocking she had gotten for that.

Dante huffed as he punched the Trigger Ring into the back of the Rebellion Magnum. ANGEL FOUR! MAGNUM STRIKE! He took aim as light blue magical energy built up around the barrel. Then he fired a beam of sharp light that cut around through the air, carving across the centre heart as its shell opened up. 

Symbol spun the first barrel of the Full Advance Artemis before snapping it closed. VERY NICE! “Let’s see what you can do!” she flew at the centre heart as it fired a massive beam. She pulled the trigger as the beam engulfed her. ADVANCE STRIKE! Slashes of yellow light appeared along the length of the energy beam before it shattered into glass-like fragments of yellow energy.

“She cut through an energy beam?!” demanded Dante.

Inside Symbol’s pocket dimension Swift Agni was speaking to his brother. “The power of her attacks had improved.”

“Indeed,” Swift Rudra concurred. “Do you think it has something to do with that new form she got when she was defeated?”

“A distinct possibility,” Swift Agni agreed with his brother. “We should probably mention it when the young master has a free moment.”

Symbol mentally reached into the pocket dimension and punched both of the guns.

“Or perhaps not,” Swift Rudra pointed out. 

“Indeed!” Swift Rudra agreed. “It is not important.”

“I am certain if it is, then it will become apparent in its own time,” finished Swift Rudra.

Symbol reached down to the Advance Timer and pressed the thumb inward once more. FULL ADVANCE FORMATION! The purple Cerberus Avatar appeared and prowled around her. Then the red Agni and Rudra Avatar appeared behind her. The Cerberus Avatar phased through her backplate and the three Cerberus Mouths appeared from her chest plate. Then the Agni and Rudra Avatar wrapped its arms around Symbol, it was absorbed into her body, transforming into the Agni and Rudra Claws.

Symbol turned to her brother. “Let’s finish this!” she shouted.

“The sooner we get out of this thing, the better!” agreed Dante.

Symbol pressed down on her Driver’s left Shift Lever twice and then scanned her left glove across the Wizard Driver’s Hand Author. TOUCH TO CAST THE NEXT LEVEL! FULL ADVANCE C TIER SPELL! Yellow energy gathered around the Agni-Rudra Claws as Symbol jumped into the air. She brought them down and slammed them on the ground, firing six waves of yellow energy through the floor. The heart fired a massive beam that clashed against the energy waves for several seconds.

It looked like it was going to be a draw.

Until Dante helped his family.

He punched the Trigger Ring into the back of the Rebellion Magnum and took aim. ANGEL TWO! MAGNUM STRIKE! “Take this!” he fired a spinning buzzsaw construct, it slammed into the centre heart, causing it to lose the fight.

Symbol’s attack broke through and carved six lines that glowed yellow into the heart with sparks coming from them. “Yes!” shouted Symbol.

The heart gave a roar of pain and started to charge up another attack.

“No!” shouted Symbol in anger.

The heart fired a barrage of purple energy bolts that shot into the air, they arched around then came shooting down toward the Kamen Riders.

“BLOCK IT!” shouted Dante as he punched the Trigger Ring into the back of the Rebellion Magnum. ANGEL THREE! MAGNUM STRIKE! He fired six shots of blue energy that circle around him, acting as a shield, deflecting all of the bolts that were about to hit him.

“Good idea,” replied Symbol as she pressed her Driver’s left Shift Lever twice and then scanned her left glove across the Wizard Driver’s Hand Author. TOUCH TO CAST THE NEXT LEVEL! FULL ADVANCE C TIER SPELL! She covered the Agni-Rudra Claws in yellow energy and pulled them back. “HA!” she slammed them into the ground and a wall of rock appeared from the fleshy stomach.

“How is that even possible?” muttered Symbol as the wall cracked, but still held, blocking all of the bolts that would have hit the female Kamen Rider.

“Now! The finale!” shouted Symbol as she pressed down on her Driver’s left Shift Lever fives times. TOUCH TO CAST THE NEXT LEVEL! VERY NICE!  FULL ADVANCE S TIER SPELL! THE BEST! Red, blue, green, purple and yellow magic surrounded Symbol as she jumped into the air. Constructs of the Advance Style energy clones appeared around her and shot forward in their order. “ADVANCE STRIKE END!” the clones impacted the heart and transformed into their magic circles. A large Advance magic circle appeared behind the four, smaller, magic circles. “HA!” Symbol crashed into it, the energy built up and the heart then exploded.

MAGICAL TOUCH HENSHIN! ACTIVE PLEASE! LET’S GO! Kamen Rider Symbol appeared next to her brother, back in the Active Style. She was panting, having used up a lot of energy in that last attack.

“Let’s see where we can get out of this thing, huh?” suggested Dante as the Phantom crashed.

Symbol nodded weakly. 


Vergil and Arkham


The human continued to read from his book. “People once cried out in fear of this tower,” he began. “Teme-ni-gru, a foundation that brought out fear.”

Vergil stared at his unwanted partner’s back.

“Fear,” Arkham whispered in a deranged manner. He gave a slightly unstable chuckle.

Vergil was starting to get weirded out.

“Yes, mighty fear,” whispered Arkham as he snapped his book shut. He looked back to Vergil. “Can’t you feel it?” 

The door rumbled as it opened.

“The rage and agony of the people,” he took a step back.

Vergil glanced around.

“Those who were confined here,” continued Arkham. “With their desires for evil being unfulfilled.” 

Vergil closed his eyes in annoyance.

“It was all because Sparda and Eva slammed the door to the Phantom world in their faces,” muttered Arkham.

Vergil walked past him.

Arkham turned around and glanced over his shoulder.

Vergil noticed that Arkham was no longer following him. “What’s wrong?” asked the Kamen Rider.

Arkham was quiet for a few moments. “Nothing.”

‘Something’s off,’ shelving the matter, for now, Vergil walked further into the tower.

Arkham followed.
> S2E10 Faded Memories
> --------------------------------------------------------------------------

The Leviathan Phantom roared up to the sky as his heart was destroyed. He lost all of his strength and his flight ability cut off as he died. The Phantom plummeted toward the ground and impacted it, just outside the base of the tower, with a thunderous slam.


Lady


The Lady, that Dante and Sunset had met twice now, was walking around the base of the tower. “Ugh!” she flinched in surprise when the giant Phantom crashed into the ground.


Vergil and Arkham


The two of them looked around as they heard a loud crash and felt the ground shake.


Lady


The Lady looked at the dust cloud and pointed her handgun into it. Only for her mouth to drop when she saw the giant Phantom corpse. She walked closer to it.

The Phantom’s eyeball started twitching and blood came out of it. 

The Lady jumped back and drew the Arsenal Phone, she flipped it open and tapped out a code. THREE! THREE! THREE! THREE! She held the Arsenal Phone over her head as music blared out of the speakers. SYSTEM READY! “HENSHIN!” Then she slotted it into the Arsenal Driver. LET’S HENSHIN! Lines spread from her Driver. ARSENAL! GO! GO! ARSENAL! There was a blast of light came from the lines, transforming her into Kamen Rider Arsenal.

More blood came out of the eye. 

Arsenal drew the Phone and tapped out another code. ONE! FIVE! NINE! THREE! Then she returned the Arsenal Phone to her Driver. ARSENAL PISTOL! The Arsenal Pistol appeared in her right glove. 

Suddenly, Sunset Shimmer Sparda and her brother, Dante Sparda, exploded out of the eye. As did Kamen Riders Weapon, Grimm, Mega and X.

“Did we really have to get out of that thing through his eye?!” demanded Sunset in disgust. 

“We’ve been over this!” replied Dante. “It was the only way out that we could find!”

Neither of them noticed Arsenal behind them.

Dante looked around and saw a sign on the side of the tower. 

It looked to be painted from blood and had a jester face under it. The message was simple: “Welcome!” next to which was an arrow that pointed into the tower.

“So this is the next stage,” Dante started walking toward the door.

Sunset wrung some blood out of her hair and moved to follow her brother. Still grumbling about “Bloody eyes.”

Arsenal had enough of being ignored. “Wait!” she shouted at the two Kamen Riders.

Sunset turned around, seeing the other Kamen Rider for the first time. “Hey, Sis!” she cheered.

Dante spun around. “Oh! It’s you!” he smoothed back his hair, attempting to be suave. “Can I interest you in a date this time?” the effect was ruined by the blood coating him.

“I said that I’ve had my fill of crazy,” Arsenal pointed out. “Besides,” she pointed the Arsenal Pistol at Dante’s head. “I don’t date guys who stink like blood,” the humour in her voice took the venom out of her words.

Dante glanced down at himself, then at his sister. He realised what a mess they were. “Dang, we really need a shower,” he held his right hand over his belt buckle. DRIVER ON! The magic circle transformed it into the Gate Driver. Then he punched the Rebellion Ring into the Driver’s left slot. SET! Dante turned his wrist forward, making the Gate Driver’s gate open. OPEN! The Rebellion magic circle appeared from his Driver and moved back through him. R-E-B-E-L-L-I-O-N! Transforming him into Kamen Rider Dante, Rebellion Style.

He drew Ebony as the transformation finished.

Both Kamen Rider’s point their firearms past each other and fired at the Phantoms that had been closing in on them from behind.

Sunset held her right hand over her belt buckle. DRIVER ON! The magic circle appeared and transformed it into the Wizard Driver. PLEASE! Then she pressed down on the left Shift Lever, turning the Hand Author to the left. MAGICAL TOUCH HENSHIN! She held her left hand as well as the Giga Ring and the Guardian Ring in front of her Driver’s Hand Author. GIGA PLEASE! “HENSHIN!” shouted Sunset as she pointed her left hand down to the ground. BREAKTHROUGH! The Giga magic circle appeared under her feet and rose up through her. Transforming her into Kamen Rider Symbol Giga Style.

BALL! The Cerberus Phantom Familiar jumped out of a small Guardian magic circle as the Giga Axe appeared from a small Giga magic circle. He leapt onto the Giga Axe and combined with it, transforming it into the Giga Cerberus.

Symbol caught him and pointed him down to the ground. SMASH THE ICE! The full-sized Guardian magic circle appeared under her boots and rose up through her, powering her up into the Giga Guardian Style.

“So tell me,” shouted Dante over the sound of gunfire. “What’s your name?”

Symbol slashed a Pride Phantom with the Giga Cerberus’ hammer side as she pressed her Driver’s left Shift Lever. Then she kicked another Pride Phantom back as she scanned her left glove across her Driver’s Hand Author. She grabbed the second Pride Phantom and threw him into the first Pride Phantom while she held Giga Cerberus so that his collar was aligned with the Wizard Driver’s Hand Author. MAGICAL TOUCH SPELL! GIGA CERBERUS C RANK SPELL! She slammed the hammer side of Giga Cerberus into the ground, forming a block of ice. “Here we go!” she slammed the hammer side into the ice block, shattering it and bombarding the Phantoms with ice shards that froze them both over.

SEVEN! NINE! TWO! ZERO! BURST MODE! “I don’t have a name!” shouted Arsenal as she switched the Arsenal Pistol into its burst mode and fired a burst of laser bolts.

Symbol slid the Punch, Drill, High-speed and Furnace Rings onto her right glove and pressed down on her Driver’s right Shift Lever. She punched an Envy Phantom in the throat as she scanned her right glove across the Wizard Driver’s Hand Author. MAGIC TOUCHIE HENSHIN! PUNCH DRILL HIGH-SPEED FURNACE PLEASE! “I’ve had enough of your lot!” shouted Symbol as the four magic circles appeared under her boots and rose up through her. She was transformed, only the gauntlets on her lower arms and gloves were now pure red.

These are the Punch Gauntlets.

FALCO! GO! T-T-T-TRICKSTER! “So what am I supposed to call you?” asked Dante. EBONY AND IVORY STRIKE! “Because there’s no way I’m calling you sis like Ruby does!” He fired off a barrage of orange feathers from his hand cannons.

“I TAKE OFFENCE TO THAT!” Symbol pressed down on her Driver’s right Shift Lever once as she punched the Envy phantom in the face. Then she scanned her right glove across her Driver’s Hand Author. MAGIC TOUCHIC GO! PUNCH MAGIC PLEASE! “Ha!” fire built up around her right fist as she darted forward and punched the Phantom in the face, sending him flying off into the distance.

FIVE! FOUR! SEVEN! THREE! STICKY BOMB! “I don’t care! Whatever you want!” shouted Arsenal as she pulled out three sticky bombs. She threw them and they exploded, destroying a Sloth Phantom.

“Big mistake,” muttered Symbol as she pressed her Driver’s right Shift Lever twice. She punched a Sloth Phantom back, after taking a blow from him, she scanned her right glove across the Wizard Driver’s Hand Author. MAGIC TOUCHIC GO! DRILL MAGIC PLEASE! Flames appeared around her right glove and started spiralling. The fire turned into a drill construct as Symbol punched the Sloth Phantom, boring a hole through his body.

DOLPI! GO! D-D-D-DOLPHI! “Whatever, Lady!” HALF CHARGE! FULLY CHARGED! Dante fired a Chameleon Construct and a construct of the Rebellion Blade, tearing three more Phantoms to pieces. Then he jumped away. “Let’s go, sis!” 

“I’m not leaving her in this situation!” Symbol pressed the Wizard Driver’s right Shift Lever three times and scanned her right glove across her Driver’s Hand Author. MAGIC TOUCHIC GO! HIGH-SPEED MAGIC PLEASE! She punched through the air, firing several blasts of fist-shaped fire. They arched up and then back down, smashing into the Phantoms and destroying most of them.

Leaving Kamen Rider Arsenal with very little to deal with.

“See ya!” shouted Symbol. MAGICAL TOUCH HENSHIN! SWIFT PLEASE! DASH AWAY! SPEED THROUGH THE FIRE AND WIND! Suddenly, the Swift and Firestorm magic circles appeared over her helmet and fell through her, transforming her into the Swift Firestorm Style.

“Farewell, Lady,” called Swift Rudra.

“When we next meet, we shall sing for you and the Young Master once again!” proclaimed Swift Agni.

“Oh God no,” muttered Dante in despair.

MAGICAL TOUCH HENSHIN! GIGA PLEASE! BREAKTHROUGH! SMASH THE ICE! Suddenly, the Giga and Guardian magic circles appeared under Symbol and transformed her into the Giga Guardian Style with Giga Cerberus putting himself together.

“Balls!” Giga Cerberus agreed.

Symbol giggled at her brother’s embarrassment as the group ran over a bridge, through a hole in the wall, across a corridor and through a door on the left end of the corridor.

This took them into the Provisions Storeroom.

“Why is this place full of spiderwebs?” asked Symbol.

“I’ll give you one guess,” replied Dante as he pointed up.

“Please don’t tell me,” muttered Symbol as she looked up. 

The roof and walls of the room were covered in spiderwebs with a new type of Phantom crawling down toward the Kamen Riders. They looked like males with grey skin, eight red eyes and a spider sack coming from their behinds. Thie arms were in the shape of praying mantis blades.

These are the Arachne Phantoms.

“These things get uglier and uglier each time,” grimaced Dante.

 MAGIC TOUCHIE HENSHIN! BOMBARDMENT DRILL TERRA FURNACE PLEASE! “KILL IT!” roared Symbol. MAGIC TOUCHIE GO! TERRA MAGIC PLEASE! “KILL IT WITH FIRE!” she continued to scream at the top of her lungs.

“Something tells me that my sister does not like spiders,” sweatdropped Dante.

MAGIC TOUCHIC GO! FURNACE MAGIC PLEASE! “DIE DIE DIE!” Symbol roared as the Bombardment Spell Channel fired a spiral of flame that engulfed several more of the Arachne Phantoms, burning them to ash.

MAGIC TOUCHIC GO! BOMBARDMENT MAGIC PLEASE! “MURDER!” Symbol screamed as she shot out three sharp fireballs. They soared through the air and slammed into the Phantoms, burning their way through their bodies at high-speeds.

MAGIC TOUCHIE HENSHIN! PUNCH DRILL TERRA FURNACE PLEASE! Symbol continued to fight in her berserker rage. MAGIC TOUCHIC GO! PUNCH MAGIC PLEASE! “GET AWAY FROM ME!” she punched the ground, forming a wall of sharp flames between herself and the Phantoms.

Symbol switched the Punch Ring for the Bombardment Ring and pressed her Driver’s right Shift Lever. Then she scanned her right glove across her Driver’s Hand Author as the Phantoms started to break through the firewall. MAGIC TOUCHIE HENSHIN! BOMBARDMENT DRILL TERRA FURNACE PLEASE! She pointed her right glove down to the ground as the Bombardment magic circle appeared under her boots and rose up through her.

She took aim and fired several balls of fire from the Bombardment Spell Channel. “This isn’t killing the spiders fast enough!” chanted Symbol in a mad manner.

“Ok, now she’s lost it,” muttered Dante as he stabbed another Arachne Phantom with the Rebellion Blade.

Symbol pressed down on her Driver’s right Shift Lever twice and then scanned her right glove across the Wizard Driver’s Hand Author as the Phantoms broke through the wall. MAGIC TOUCHIC GO! DRILL MAGIC PLEASE! She took aim and fired a spiralling blast of fire that incinerated several of the Arachne Phantoms.

Then she saw small white spider creatures coming out of the burnt corpses.

“Oh just great, as if this couldn’t get any worse!” shouted Symbol.

“And you give me grief for saying that?!” demanded Dante.

“Argh! You made me say it!” shouted Symbol in terror.

“What?!” demanded Dante.

“Maybe the universe didn’t hear!” pointed out Symbol.

“I really don’t think we’re talking cause and effect,” replied Dante.

“That’s what the universe want’s you to think!” shouted Symbol.

“What?! Ok!” That’s it! You have officially lost your mind!” replied Dante.

“I have not!” shouted back Symbol.

Kamen Rider X drew out a new Whistle while her Mistress was fighting with her brother. It was blue and the head resembled several foamy bubbles. She slotted it into the X Driver and pressed down her Driver. ACID BURST! She threw out her right glove and fired a stream of acid, it hit the Arachne  Phantom and made sparks coming from his body. The Phantom screamed as he clutched his face, the acid had gotten into his eyes.

EARTH TUNE! X shifted into her Earth Tune as she drew out another new Whistle. It was coloured brown and the head was in the shape of a drill. She slashed the, still blinded Phantom several times before loading the Whistle into the X Driver and hitting it. TORNADO FANG! Her sword transformed into a brown drill sword, she held down on the trigger and the blade started spinning, she slashed the Phantom, cutting him clean in half and freeing him.

SILENT TUNE! Another Arachne Phantom came at X from the side as she was covered in a sphere of purple sound. She transformed into the Silent Tune and fired a blast of sound that sent the Phantom rolling away. She drew the next Whistle, it was purple with a triangle for its head. She placed it into the X Driver and pressed down. TRAID THUNDER! Three spheres of lightning appeared around her in a triangle formation. They shot forward and circled the Phantom before surging inward, electrocuting him violently. 

EARTH TUNE! Suddenly, X was forced to transform back into her Earth Tune. She drew her sword and block a pair of downward swings from, another Arachne Phantom that had attacked her from the side. She pushed the Phantom back and drew another new Whistle. Its head looked like a pair of buzzsaws. She slotted it into the X Driver and pressed down on it. SPINNING BLADE! A pair of brown spinning buzzsaws appeared and slash ran at the Phantom, slashing him in half. Both halves combusted into brown flames. 

Suddenly, X was slashed across the back by the other Arachne Phantom. SILENT TUNE! She quickly changed back into her Silent Tune and shot the Phantom, forcing him back. Then she slotted another new Whistle with several beams on its head into the X Driver before hitting it. RAY SPLASHER! She threw her right glove forward and fired seven beams that tore through the Phantom, destroying him.

“Mission clear,” spoke X for the first time since the battle started.

Dante did not bother to reply to his sister as he punched the Rebellion Ring into the back of the Rebellion Blade. ONE! As black energy covered his sword, Dante slashed the Arachne Phantom twice and punched the Falcon Ring into the Gate Driver’s right slot. ONE! FALCO TRICK! Orange energy covered the Rebellion Blade, mixing with the black energy. Dante pulled the trigger after cutting the Phantom again. REBELLION SABER STRIKE! He teleported in front of the Phantom and slashed upward, firing him up into the air.

“Here we go!” Dante switched the Osiris Ring for the Rebellion Ring and punched it into his Driver’s left slot. [b]SET! He turned his wrist back, then forward, making the Gate Driver’s gate close and open. OPEN! The Osiris magic circle appeared from the Gate Driver and moved back through Dante. O-S-I-R-I-S! Transforming him from the Rebellion Style to the Osiris Style.

The Osiris Scythe appeared and he turned the handle. HOOK MODE! Transforming it into the Angel Lift. He hooked it onto the, still airborne, Arachne Phantom and pulled himself up. Thanks to the boost in speed from the Falcon Mantle, he was nothing but a blur as he moved.

Dante switched the Osiris Ring for the Rebellion Ring and punched it into the Gate Driver’s left slot. SET! He turned his wrist back, then forward, closing and opening the Gate Driver’s gate. OPEN! The Rebellion magic circle appeared from his Driver and moved back through Dante. R-E-B-E-L-L-I-O-N! Transforming him back into the Rebellion Style.

Dante punched the Rebellion Ring into the Rebellion Blade’s Ring slot. ONE! As black magical energy covered the sword, Dante punched the Falcon Ring into the Gate Driver’s right slot. ONE! Orange energy wrapped around the Rebellion Blade as Dante pulled it back. FALCO TRICK! He pressed the trigger and swung down. REBELLION SABER STRIKE! The sword moved fast enough to leave orange and black speed lines in the air as it pulled Dante down. “Breakdown!” The Rebellion Blade cut a black and orange line into the Phantom as he was smashed into the ground.

Dante landed back on the ground as the Arachne Phantom started to get back up. “You’re tougher than the rest of the Phantoms,” he commented as he slammed the Rebellion Ring into the Rebellion Blade. TWO! Black magical energy covered the sword. “But that won’t save you!” Dante pulled the trigger as he spun around. REBELLION SABER STRIKE! The Rebellion Blade bit into the Phantom several times as Dante finished spinning.

“Time to end this!” shouted Dante as the Arachne Phantom stumbled back in pain. He pressed down on the Rebellion Blade’s trigger. REBELLION SABER STRIKE! Black energy covered the blade as Dante flipped it into a reverse grip. “One! Two!” he swung the blade twice, firing a pair of energy waves that trapped the Phantom. “Three! OVERDRIVE!” Dante swung the Rebellion Blade, releasing a third wave that destroyed the trapped Phantom.

“Watch it!” shouted Dante. “You nearly hit me!”

“Die! Yes! Destroy them all!” cackled Symbol.

She was clearly still having a mental breakdown.

“Alright, that is it!” Dante walked over and punched her sister in the helmet.

“Owie!” yelled Symbol in pain. “What was that for?!”

Dante gave her a look.

Kamen Rider Symbol looked down, sheepishly. “I really lost it back there, didn’t it?”

“Big-time,” replied Dante.

“Sorry,” replied his sister sheepishly.

“Water under the bridge,” replied Dante as they ran out of the room.

Symbol shouted in joy.

They found themselves in a room that had a short path, with a small flight of stairs. At that base of the stairs was a tablet.

“Any idea what it says?” asked Dante.

“Yeah,” Symbol translated the runes on the tablet. “Radiate the image sunken in the depths below to open a new path.”

“Well that tells us exactly nothing,” scowled Dante.

“It has something to do with what’s at the top of these stairs, I just know it!” Symbol ran up the stairs.

“Wait up!” Dante followed.

They found themselves staring at a mirror puzzle with a fire wheel at the end of it.


Three hours later


“Well, that took forever,” growled out Symbol as they broke the last mirror and opened a new door at the base of the steps.

When they first failed, they found out that the fire wheel was a reset button.

“It was only three hours,” replied Dante.

“My point exactly!” shouted Symbol as they ran to the bottom of the stairs and through a door that was off to the right.

“Oh come on!” shouted Dante as they dove out of the way of a barrage of arrows.

They were in the Subground Water Vein. It was a long stone path, with an endless drop on either side, inside a cave. On a ledge were several Enigma Phantoms.

“Haven’t seen this lot in a while,” commented Symbol.

“Less talking and more dodging!” shouted Dante.

“Got it!” Symbol switched the Giga and Guardian Rings for the Swift and Firestorm Rings as she avoided several blue arrows. Symbol dodged a red arrow as she pressed down on her Driver’s left Shift Lever. MAGICAL TOUCH HENSHIN! Then she scanned her left glove across the Wizard Driver’s Hand Author, she threw herself under another red arrow. SWIFT PLEASE! DASH AWAY! Symbol held her left glove up into the air as the Swift magic circle appeared, it fell down through her, transforming her into the Swift Style. The Swift Blaster dropped out of a smaller Swift magic circle, Symbol caught it.

“To arms!” shouted the Agni Phantom Familiar as he jumped out of a small Firestorm magic circle.

“Not to mention legs!” added the Rudra Phantom Familiar as he jumped out after his brother.

They both jumped onto the Swift Blaster, making it glow red and blue.

Kamen Rider Symbol placed her right glove onto the Swift Blaster and pulled it away, pulling the blue glow off the weapon. When the light cleared, she was holding the Swift Agni and the Swift Rudra.

“Let’s power up!” Symbol pointed both of her guns into the air, the Firestorm magic circle appeared over her helmet and fell through her. SPEED THROUGH THE FIRE AND WIND! She was powered up into the Swift Firestorm Style.

Symbol dodged another red bolt before pressing her Driver’s left Shift Lever twice. “Oh no!” she saw several blue bolts shooting toward her and scanned her left glove across the Wizard Driver’s Hand Author. MAGICAL TOUCH GO! SWIFT! B RANK SPELL! Her body was covered in yellow magical energy as her visor glowed. Time slowed down as she sped up, Symbol was able to weave between the bolts with ease.

“My turn,” Symbol added the Arrow, Blade and Zoomer Rings to her right glove, then she pressed her Driver’s right Shift Lever. The speed boost started to wear off as she scanned her right glove across the Wizard Driver’s Hand Author. MAGIC TOUCHIE HENSHIN! ARROW BLADE ZOOMER PLEASE! Then she held her right glove into the air as the three magic circles appeared and fell through her, arming Symbol with the Arrow Bow.

The Kamen Rider pressed her Driver’s right Shift Lever three times. She knocked five arrows out of the air with her energy bolts and scanned her right glove across the Wizard Driver’s Hand Author. MAGIC TOUCHIE GO! ZOOMER MAGIC PLEASE! Suddenly, her speed increased to the point that the Engima Phantoms were seeing multiple Kamen Rider Symbols.

They looked at each other, confused.

“That never gets old,” chuckled Symbol as she fired several green energy bolts, striking the Phantoms several times. Then she scanned her right glove across her Driver’s Hand Author after pressing the right Shift Lever once. MAGIC TOUCHIE GO ARROW MAGIC PLEASE! She pulled back on the Arrow Bow, charging up green energy. “Here we go!” Symbol released the energy, firing eight green arrowheads. They shot through the air and slammed into two of the Engima Phantoms. It was to much damage and they were destroyed.

“Two down,” Symbol took stock of the remaining Phantoms. “Two to go, whoa!” she saw eight more blue arrows shooting toward her. Symbol pressed down on her Driver’s right Shift Lever twice. MAGIC TOUCHIE GO! Then she scanned her right glove across her Driver’s Hand Author after blocking another arrow. BLADE MAGIC PLEASE! Eight buzzsaws surrounded her like a shield, cutting the rest of the arrows apart and causing them to shatter into blue glass-like shards.

“Enough messing around!” Symbol hit her Driver’s left Shift Lever four times. MAGICAL TOUCH GO! VERY NICE! Then scanned her left glove across her Driver’s Hand Author. SWIFT! S RANK SPELL! THE BEST! Yellow energy covered her body, Symbol pointed the Arrow Bow into the air and pulled back on the string. “Finale,” the Kamen Rider whispered as she slowly aimed the Arrow Bow at the Enigma Phantoms.

They looked at each other, scared from the huge amount of power Symbol was emitting.

“FINAL BLADE!” Symbol released the string, firing a yellow buzzsaw construct that saw through the air and through a Phantom before bouncing back to Symbol, she spun around and kicked the construct, sending it shooting back at the second Enigma Phantom, cutting him in half, both Phantoms exploded.

Weapon jumped back as an Arachne Phantom slashed at her. Only for his mouth to open and his tongue to shoot out. It stabbed into her shoulder pauldron, drawing sparks from the impact point. She removed the Dust Knuckle from the left side of the Weapon Driver and switched out the Whistles. The new Whistle was yellow with the head being brown. She slotted it into the Weapon Driver. G-I-A-N-D-U-J-A! Then she pressed the right side of the Dust Knuckle into her right palm. R-E-A-D-Y! Weapon 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 the Phantom, driving him back before it connected with Weapon. The sniper rifle and the scythe on her chestplate transformed into a Gatling gun and a briefcase.

The Phantom recovered and fired a web at Weapon, she pressed the Dust Knuckle into the Weapon Driver once. H-Y-P-E-R B-R-I-E-F-C-A-S-E! She held out her right glove and a brown briefcase with yellow studs appeared. She used it as a shield to block the web before pulling the Arachne Phantom toward her. W-I-N-D D-U-S-T C-H-A-R-G-E! The Hyper Briefcase was covered in raging green wind. Weapon pulled it back and used it to wack the Arachne Phantom, sending him slamming into the wall with several cuts forming on his body from the intense raging wind.

Then Weapon pressed the Dust Knuckle into the Weapon Driver for a second time. F-A-S-H-I-O-N G-A-T-L-I-N-G! There was the sound of machinery shifting as Weapon converted the Hyper Briefcase into the Fashion Gatling. It was a brown Gatling gun with yellow rimming on the barrels and the ammo drum. W-I-N-D D-U-S-T P-O-W-E-R-E-D! Weapon opened fire, firing a barrage of wind bullets that shot through the air and tore the Phantom to pieces.

Symbol patted her on the backplate. “Good job.”

“Thank you, my Master,” replied Weapon.

“My feminine pride will always hate that,” deadpanned Symbol.

Weapon pressed the right side of the Dust Knuckle into the left side of the Weapon Driver as she dodged a slash from a Pride Phantom. S-C-Y-T-H-E! The Crescent Scythe appeared in her gloves and she blocked several more attacks. The two scythe uses locked weapons. For a minute they were even. C-O-M-B-U-S-T-I-O-N D-U-S-T C-H-A-R-G-E! Only for the Crescent Scythe to be covered in red and black fire. Using the strength boost, Kamen Rider Weapon forced the scythe up and then slashed down, cutting a firey red gash through the Phantom.

Kamen Rider Weapon slammed the Dust Knuckle into the Weapon Driver twice as she kicked the, still on fire, Pride Phantom back. S-N-I-P-E-R! Mechanical shifting noises came from the Crescent Scythe as it transformed into the Crescent Rifle. C-O-M-B-U-S-T-I-O-N D-U-S-T P-O-W-E-R-E-D! Weapon took with her, weapon, and then fired a sniper round. It was black and red, it slammed into the Phantom and exploded violently, slamming the Pride Phantom into one of the gears.

The Phantom fell to the ground and got back up weakly. Upon seeing Kamen Rider Weapon approaching, he was covered in an aura of black energy. He shot forward and slashed Weapon several times with his scythe.

Kamen Rider Weapon was caught off guard but quickly recovered. She switched the Combustion Dust Whistle for the Earth Dust Whistle. E-A-R-T-H D-U-S-T! Then she removed the Dust Knuckle from the left side of the Weapon Driver. She pressed the right side of it into her right palm. R-E-A-D-Y! Then slammed the Dust Knuckle back into the Weapon Driver. F-I-S-T O-N! The holographic suit of armour flew out of the Driver and slammed back into Kamen Rider Weapon, after knocking the Phantom back. The background of her chestplate transformed into a rocky orange background.

Weapon blocked a pair of slashes, took the third one and spun around, knocking the Phantom back with the bottom of her Crescent Rifle’s shaft. She quickly pressed the Dust Knuckle into the Weapon Driver once. S-C-Y-T-H-E! The Cresent Rifle made machine shifting sounds as it transformed back into the Crescent Scythe. E-A-R-T-H D-U-S-T C-H-A-R-G-E! Weapon slammed it onto the ground and created a wall of rock, sending the Phantom flying off the edge of the walkway.

“Dante, stop running off ahead!” shouted Symbol.

“Sorry, still getting used to this whole, working together, thing,” replied Dante.

Symbol sighed and ran through the door.

“Wait for me!” cried out Dante as he ran after his sister.

They entered a room that looked like a long corridor, it curved around to the side with several spiralling cogs on each side of it. This is the Rounded Pathway.

“Now this looks familiar,” muttered Symbol.

“Really?” asked Dante.

“Yes, it looks like that cog room in Limbo that one of our first fights together took place in,” replied Symbol.

Dante clearly did not remember.

“It’s the one that you ran into and got us trapped in,” deadpanned Symbol.

“You’re never going to let that go, are you?” asked Dante.

“Maybe in a thousand years,” replied Symbol.

“So that’s a never?” asked Dante.

“Yep,” replied Symbol.

“You can really hold a grudge, can’t you?” stated Dante.

“We did kill Wiseman for killing Mom,” replied Symbol.

“That’s different!” shot back Dante.

With that, the Phantoms in the Rounded Corridor got fed up of being ignored and attacked the group.

“Out of one fight and straight into another,” grumbled Symbol as she switched the Swift and Firestorm Rings for the Giga and Guardian Rings. She pressed down on her Driver’s left Shift Lever. MAGICAL TOUCH HENSHIN! Before she scanned her left glove across the Wizard Driver’s Hand Author. GIGA PLEASE! Symbol held her left glove down to the ground as the Giga magic circle appeared under her boots. BREAKTHROUGH! It rose up through her and transformed her into the Giga Style. “Come! Giga Cerberus!” Symbol held out her right glove and a smaller Giga magic circle appeared above it as the Giga Axe dropped out of the circle.

BALL! shouted the Cerberus Phantom Familiar as he jumped out of a smaller Guardian magic circle and docked with the Giga Axe, transforming it into the Giga Cerberus.

Symbol pointed him down to the ground and the full-sized Guardian magic circle appeared under her boots and rose up through her. “Let’s power up!” SMASH THE ICE! Transforming her into the Giga Guardian style.

Symbol pressed down on her Driver’s left Shift Lever twice as a Greed Phantom started his summoning. She scanned her left glove across the Wizard Driver’s Hand Author as the Phantom slammed his coffin into the ground. Symbol held Giga Cerberus horizontal so that his collar was in front of her Driver. MAGICAL TOUCH SPELL! GIGA CERBERUS B RANK SPELL! The axe part of Giga Cerberus was covered in white energy as she pulled it back and slammed it onto the ground, firing a line of ice spikes that soared across the ground and encased the Phantom.

He had already managed to summon his fellow Phantoms across the dimensional plane and they tried to protect him.

Only to be blocked by Dante and Symbol’s Gem Maiden servants.

“Thanks, you lot!” yelled Symbol.

“Thank us by taking that guy out!” shouted Dante.

“I’m already on it!” replied Symbol as she pressed her Driver’s left Shift Lever twice. MAGICAL TOUCH SPELL! Then she scanned her left glove across the Wizard Driver’s Hand Author. GIGA B RANK SPELL! Symbol held up her right glove and curled it into a fist as green energy covered it. Then she slammed it into the trail of ice spikes that caused them to shatter and badly damage the Greed Phantom.

“Now, the finale,” Symbol pressed down on her Driver’s left Shift Lever four times as the Phantom started to recover. Then she scanned her left glove across her Driver’s Hand Author as the Greed Phantom got back up. He slammed his coffin down onto the ground as Symbol held Giga Cerberus so that he was in front of her Driver’s Hand Author. MAGICAL TOUCH GO! VERY NICE! GIGA! S RANK SPELL! THE BEST! Arctic energy covered Symbol and was pulled into Giga Cerberus. “CERBERUS HOWL!” Symbol slammed the Hammer part down, firing a line of ice spikes that froze the Phantom once more. Then she slashed upward, firing a vertical crescent of cold energy that tore through the line, absorbing their cold and growing in power, cutting a vertical line into the Phantom. Symbol finished the move by stabbing forward, firing a beam of cold magic that hit the line, detonating the energy and freeing the Phantom.

Kamen Rider Mega ducked under a slash from a Pride Phantom. She drew a new Whistle, it was blue with a missile-shaped head. She slotted it into the Mega Driver and pressed down. DIVE MISSILE! Then she transformed her right glove into a cannon and fired a blue missile. It shot through the air and slammed into the Arachne Phantom, exploding on contact.

FIRE TUNE! Mega shifted into her Fire Tune as the Phantom’s tongue shot out of his mouth and toward her. She slotted a red Whistle with a skull for a head into the Mega Driver. Just before the attack hit, she pressed down. SKULL BARRIER! A red skull appeared around Mega, stopping the attack from hitting her.

LIGHT TUNE! Mega shifted into her light tune as she slotted another Whistle into the Mega Driver. Its head looked like a black hole. She slammed her glove down on the Mega Driver. GRAVITY HOLD! She pointed her sword at the Phantom and then pointed up. The Phantom rose into the air before being slammed into the ground, painfully.

THUNDER TUNE! Then Mega shifted into her Thunder Tune as she slotted a new Whistle into the Mega Driver. Its head was in the shape of a wave, she pressed down on the Driver. WATER WAVE! Her left glove transformed into a cannon, she fired a green bolt of energy that hit the ground and transformed into a giant wave of water. It slammed into the Phantom was washed him into a wall.

Then mega slammed another Whistle into the Mega Driver. It was green and the head looked like three rocks. She pressed down on it as the Phantom started to get back up. POWER STONE! Mega’s right arm turned into a cannon that she used to fire three rocks at the Phantom. They shot through the air and sent him ass over the kettle.

Seeing that it was time to end this, Mega placed her right glove into the Mega Driver. POWER STONE BITE! Green energy was charged into her arm before she fired three rocks that glowed with green energy. They spiralled around each, turning into a green rocky beam that ripped the Arachne Phantom apart.

X had been watching her sister Kamen Rider’s back. She saw a Phantom sneaking up behind Mega and slotted a new Whistle into the X Driver before pressing down on it. GRAVITY WELL! She held out her right glove and fired an orb of blue gravity. The enveloped the Phantom and crushed him, freeing him from the Phantom mind control.

Then, she slotted another Whistle into the X Driver and pressed down. PARASITIC BOMB! A spiked bomb appeared in her right glove, the pulled back her glove and threw the bomb, it latched onto her opponent and caused him to explode.

Suddenly, X was struck from behind by two slashes, she rolled away from her attacker and switched forms. WATER TUNE! She was covered by a sphere of sea-green water as she transformed into the Water Tune. She turned toward the Arachne Phantom as she slammed another whistle into the X Driver. FROST SHIELD! She held out both of her gloves and formed a shield of frost in front of her, stopping the Phantom from attacking her again.

SPIN WHEEL! Then she slammed her glove into the ground, firing a spinning buzzsaw. It shot through the ground and the Arachne Phantom ran away, the buzzsaw followed. The Phantom jumped up and landed on the ceiling, he blew a raspberry at X, only to be sawed through by the buzzsaw from behind.

Seeing three more Arachne Phantoms drop down from the ceiling, X decided to end the fight by placing her right glove into the X Driver’s mouth. SPIN WHEEL BITE! Green energy was infused into her right glove. She pulled back her left fist and punched the ground. A green buzzsaw sprouted out of the ground, right under one of the Arachne Phantoms, sawing straight through it. Then the buzzsaw transformed into eight bolts of green energy, four of each pierced through the other two Phantoms, destroying all three of them.

With the battle over, the group ran into another room. It was a huge cave with a waterfall at the other end.

“That looks like a way to get clean,” Dante pointed out.

“Yeah, but there’s no way to reach the water,” Symbol showed him how he was wrong.

“Bummer,” sulked Dante.

“Hey look at this,” Symbol ran over to a statue in the corner of the room, along the same wall as the door and a second door. There were runes inscribed into it.

“Any idea what it says?” asked Dante.

“Give me a second,” replied Symbol. “Restore the mask’s scared energy and the power to part the oceans will be yours,” she read.

“MINE!” shouted Dante as he jumped a gap and came back with a gun.

“Another gun?” demanded Symbol.

“Yep!” replied Dante, cocking it.

The gun was a high calibre rifle, it was coloured black with a wooden stock and loading cock.

This is the Spiral.

“I’m going to enjoy playing with this!” cackled Dante.

“Let’s go,” Symbol rolled her eyes.

They ran through the door and into the second half of the Rounded Pathway. 

“Why did I see this coming?!” demanded Symbol as they were attacked by Phantoms.

“Shut up and fight!” shouted Dante.

“No room for the Bombardment Spell Channel in here,” muttered Symbol as she added the Punch, Drill, Terra and Furance Rings to her right glove before pressing her Driver’s right Shift Lever. Then she scanned her right glove across the Wizard Driver’s Hand Author. MAGIC TOUCHIE HENSHIN! PUNCH DRILL TERRA FURNACE PLEASE! However, the second the transformation was finished she was struck by three Pride Phantoms that the Greed Phantom had called to battle.

“All right, enough is enough!” shouted Symbol as she pressed her Driver’s right Shift Lever four times and scanned her right glove across the Wizard Driver’s Hand Author. MAGIC TOUCHIC GO! FURNACE MAGIC PLEASE! She flicked her wrist and a coil of fire materialized around her, sending the Pride Phantoms into the air.

Symbol switched the Giga and Guardian Rings for the Advance Ring and pressed down on her Driver’s left Shift Lever. The Phantoms fell back to the ground as she scanned her left glove across the Wizard Driver’s Hand Author. TOUCH TO ADVANCE YOUR CLASS! ADVANCE PLEASE! Symbol held her left glove out in front of her as the Advance magic circle appeared and moved back through her. “COME! ADVANCE TIMER!” yelled Symbol as she held her right arm into the air.

TO BATTLE! MY MISTRESS! A black blur zoomed into the corridor and attacked the Phantoms before slamming into Symbol’s right forearm guard, transforming into the Advance Timer. ADVANCE TIME! 

Symbol turned the dial. SET UP! Then she hit the thumb inward. START! The Advance Timer started ticking.

Symbol ran toward a Pride Phantom and pressed down on her Driver’s left Shift Lever. TOUCH TO CAST THE NEXT LEVEL! Then she scanned her left glove across the Wizard Driver’s Hand Author and punched a Phantom in the face. ADVANCE C TIER SPELL! The emitters on her forearm guards glowed as she punched the Pride Phantom in the stomach, firing a beam of yellow energy that freed him from being controlled.

Symbol saw that the Advance Timer had already reached the red section and pressed the thumb inward. BREAKER ADVANCE! The Advance Breaker magic circle appeared in the air and Breaker jumped out of it.

Breaker jumped into the air and pressed down on her Driver’s left Shift Lever three times before scanning her left glove across her Wizard Driver’s left Shift Lever. TOUCH TO CAST THE NEXT LEVEL! ADVANCE BREAKER A TIER SPELL! Red energy covered her right fist as the emitters on her shin guard hummed. She punched down and slammed her fist into the ground, firing a red shockwave that through the two remaining Pride Phantoms into the air.

Symbol noted that the Advance Timer’s clock hand had reached the blue section. She pressed the thumb inward again. “Here we go!” BLOCKER ADVANCE! The Advance Blocker magic circle appeared in the air and Blocker jumped out of it. 

But she had nothing to do as Symbol and Breaker did not need protection at the moment.

Dante had gone on ahead was already fighting another Enimga Phantom. He switched the Falcon Ring for the Dolphin Ring and punched it into the Gate Driver’s right slot. DOLPI! He held his right glove out to the side. GO! Then he dove through the Dolphin magic circle as it appeared. D-D-D-DOLPHI! Dante rolled to one knee as he drew out Coyote A.

He pumped the pump-action shotgun. PUMP IT! He took aim as blue energy gathered around the barrel. SHOOT IT! “Yeah!” Dante pulled the trigger, firing a blue dolphin construct that shot through the air and whacked the Phantom with its tail, sending the Phantom shooting into the air.

“Let’s switch it up!” Dante swapped the Dolphin Ring for the Chameleon Ring and punched it into his Driver’s right slot. CHAMELEON! He held his right glove out to the side. GO! “Woah!” then he jumped through the Chameleon magic circle as it appeared, narrowly avoiding a red arrow that the livid Phantom at had shot at him. S-S-S-SWORDMASTER! Dante landed on the other side of the magic circle as the Dolphin Mantle transformed into the Chameleon Mantle.

Dante took aim with Coyote A and pulled back on the pump. PUMP IT! Dante took aim as green energy gathered around the barrel. “Let’s do this!” he pulled the trigger. SHOOT IT! He fired a chameleon construct that shot through the air and pierced through the Enigma Phantom and caused him to explode.

Suddenly, a red arrow slammed into Dante from the side and sent him flying through the air. “What on earth,” he got back to his boots and glared at the Enigma Phantom that had just shot him from the side. “I’ll need more power for this one!” he swapped the Chameleon Ring for the Buffalo Ring and pressed it into the Gate Driver’s right slot. BUFFA! He held his right glove out to the side. GO! Then he let the Buffalo magic circle pass through him. R-R-R-ROYAL GUARD! Transforming his mantle into the Buffalo Mantle as he grinned at the Phantom.

Dante drew Coyote A and pumped the pump. PUMP IT! He took aim as red energy gathered around the barrel. SHOOT IT! Dante pulled the trigger and fired a buffalo construct that rampaged toward the Phantom. He shot several energy arrows at the construct, but it just ploughed through them and trampled over him.

Not finished yet, the Phantom got back up. FALCO! GO! T-T-T-TRICKSTER! There was a flash of orange light. PUMP IT! SHOOT IT! Right before an orange falcon construct picked up the Enigma Phantom and dropped him into the endless drop, a pillar of white light signalled his destruction a second later.

“Requesting assistance,” required Kamen Rider Weapon.

“Request approved!” Kamen Rider Grimm appeared and drop kicked the Phantom in the face, forcing him back. She pressed the left side of the Aura Knuckle into the right side of the Grimm Driver. B-E-R-I-N-G-E-L B-I-T-T-I-N-G! Black mist covered her arms as the Gorilla Gauntlets appeared around her forearms. She ran forward and tried to punch the Phantom twice, but he was able to dodge with ease. A-U-R-A A-M-P-L-I-F-I-C-A-T-I-O-N A-T-T-A-C-K! The Gorilla Gauntlets glowed with blinding white light that stunned the Phantom long enough for Grimm to land a solid hit, sending him flying back through the air.

The Phantom got back up and charged at Grimm, transforming into a streak of black energy from the Kamen Rider’s point of view as he rocketed toward her.

S-N-I-P-E-R! E-A-R-T-H D-U-S-T P-O-W-E-R-E-D! Suddenly, a bolt of orange energy slammed into the ground and a wall of rock appeared. The Phantom slammed into it and his aura deactivated.

Grimm glanced at Weapon and nodded to her. Thanking her through the small hivemind.

W-I-N-D D-U-S-T! R-E-A-D-Y!  F-I-S-T O-N! Weapon replied with a: “Your welcome.”

D-R-A-G-O-N R-A-G-E! R-E-A-D-Y!  F-I-S-T O-N! Grimm transformed and the cross on her faceplate opened up as she turned to the Phantom.

Who now looked incredibly scared as he faced down two Kamen Riders without his upgraded form.

Both of which pressed their Knuckles into their Driver three times. C-R-E-S-C-E-N-T R-O-S-E R-I-S-E U-P! B-E-R-I-N-G-E-L M-A-S-S-A-C-R-E! Kamen Rider Weapon made green wind cover the Crescent Rifle as she fired a green wind round. It shot through the air and drill through the heart of the Pride Phantom.

Grimm dashed forward at high speed as a dragon made out of golden fire coiled around her right Gorilla Gauntlet. She pulled back her fist and punched the Phantom as the dragon bit down, causing the Phantom to explode into golden flames.

They ran through the door and found themselves back in the Provisions Storeroom.

Dante picked up a piece of purple rock with black veins running through it called the Ambrosia.

“Hey, isn’t this the room, we, just, left,” Symbol trailed off as Arachne Phantoms dropped down.

“Here we go again,” Dante rolled his eyes.

“DIE!” Symbol went berserk once more as she pressed down on the Advance Timer’s thumb twice. BOUNDER ADVANCE!  BLASTER ADVANCE! ADVANCE WEAPON TIME! Both the Advance Bounder and the Advance Blaster magic circles appeared in the air as the Advance Timer’s clock hand started its second rotation. Bounder and Blaster jumped out of their respective magic circles.

Bounder pressed her Driver’s left Shift Lever. TOUCH TO CAST THE NEXT LEVEL! Then scanned her left glove across her Wizard Driver’s Hand Author. ADVANCE BOUNDER C TIER SPELL! The emitters on her forearm guards lit up as she darted forward and punched one of the Arachne Phantoms with enough force to send him flying off his feet.

Blaster hit her Driver’s left Shift Lever twice and then she scanned her left glove across her Wizard Driver’s Hand Author. TOUCH TO CAST THE NEXT LEVEL! ADVANCE BLASTER B TIER SPELL! A ring of purple energy spheres appeared around her and shot through the air. They arched around and slammed into Phantom that Bounder had just sent flying, freeing him from the Phantom Mind’s control.

Symbol saw that the Advance Timer’s clock hand had reached the yellow section once more after completing its second lap. She pressed the thumb inward. ARTEMIS! All five od the Advance magic circles appeared. Symbol and her Advance Style Clones reached into the circles and pulled out their Artemis weapons.

Symbol spun the chamber and then snapped the Advance Artemis closed. ADVANCE MATCH STRIKE! Green energy with cold wind lapping off it appeared around the blade part of the Advance Artemis. “MURDER!” she roared as she slashed down, cutting through a spiderweb and freezing one of the Arachne Phantoms before hitting it and causing the Phantom to shatter.

Breaker followed her Leader’s lead and snapped the Breaker Artemis closed after giving the barrel a spin. BREAKER MATCH STRIKE! She got to one knee and took aim, firing six bullets of sharp water that shot through the air. They impacted one of the Arachne Phantoms and drilled three holes through his body, causing him to go free.

Blocker blocked a slash from an Arachne Phantom and kicked him back before she opened the Blocker Artemis. She spun and barrel and then snapped it closed. BLOCKER MATCH STRIKE! Blue energy gathered around the barrel of the Blocker Artemis as she pulled the trigger, firing a blue beam, the head of which looked like a chainsaw.

It acted like one as well.

The attack hit one of the Arachne Phantoms and sawed through him. Cutting him in half and causing him to explode.

Bounder dodged away from a slash as another Arachne Phantom tried to cut through her. She pulled open the Bounder Artemis and spun the chamber before snapping it closed. BOUNDER MATCH STRIKE! She took aim and fired a blast of wind that moved at high speed. It surrounded the Phantom and cut his head off.

“Spiders, make it stop!” Symbol saw the Advance Timer had reached the red section as it started on its third rotation. She pressed the thumb inward. ANGI AND RUDRA CLAWS! The Agni-Rudra Avatar appeared behind Breaker and wrapped its arms around her. There was a flash of red light as the Agni-Rudra claws appeared.

She pressed down on her Wizard Driver’s left Shift Lever once as she avoided a slash from another Arachne Phantom. Then she scanned her left glove across her Driver’s Hand Author. TOUCH TO CAST THE NEXT LEVEL! ADVANCE BREAKER C TIER SPELL! Breaker covered the Agni-Rudra Claws in fired and wind as she darted forward and slashed upwards, cutting six lines through the Phantom and causing him to explode.

Blaster pulled open the Blaster Artemis and then slammed it shut once she had spun the chamber. BLASTER MATCH STRIKE! She took aim as purple energy built up around the barrel of the gun weapon. She pulled the trigger, firing hundreds of tiny bullets that shot through the air and destroyed three of the Arachne Phantoms at once.

Kamen Rider Grimm jumped over a slash from another Arachne Phantom and kicked him in the back of his head. She landed on the ground and punched the Aura Knuckle into the Grimm Driver. B-E-O-W-U-L-F T-E-A-R-I-N-G! There was a blast of black mist as Grimm’s legs transformed into a pair of Beowulf legs. She darted forward and kicked the Phantom before dashing around and kicking him in the behind. D-R-A-G-O-N R-A-G-E B-A-T-T-L-E! Suddenly, Kamen Rider Grimm blurred around the Phantom, kicking at him from all sides. Eventually, the Arachne Phantom went flying off to the side.

ERROR! “Why will you not die?!” shouted Symbol madly from off to the side.

Then Grimm removed the Aura Knuckle from the Grimm Driver and switched out the Beowulf Whistle for the Berginel Whistle. B-E-R-I-N-G-E-L! She pressed the Aura Knuckle into her palm. R-E-A-D-Y! Before she reconnected the Knuckle to the Driver. F-I-S-T O-N! The holographic suit of armour flew out and then slammed into her, transforming the Beowulf on her chest plate into a Beringel Grimm.

Then she pressed the Knuckle into her Driver twice as the Arachne Phantom started to get back up. B-E-R-I-N-G-E-L T-E-A-R-I-N-G! Grimm held out her right glove and a banana appeared in it. D-R-A-G-O-N R-A-G-E B-A-T-T-L-E! The second command kicked in and Grimm threw the banana on the ground. It exploded into a golden dragon that wrapped around the Phantom and threw him into a wall with great force.

She removed the Aura Knuckle from the Grimm Driver and switched the Dragon Rage Whistle for the Aura Amplification Whistle. A-U-R-A A-M-P-L-I-F-I-C-A-T-I-O-N! She pressed the Knuckle into her palm. R-E-A-D-Y! Then Grimm slammed the Knuckle back into the Driver. F-I-S-T O-N! The holographic suit of armour shot out of the Weapon Driver and knocked the Phantom down once more before transforming Grimm.

The Phantom got up and fired another spiderweb at Grimm as she pressed the Knuckle into her Driver twice. B-E-R-I-N-G-E-L T-E-A-R-I-N-G! She held out her right glove and another banana bomb appeared in it. A-U-R-A A-M-P-L-I-F-I-C-A-T-I-O-N B-A-T-T-L-E! Grimm threw the bomb and it exploded in bright white, incinerating the spiderweb and blinding the Phantom once more.

The Phantom threw in the metaphorical towel and exploded into a white mist.

Meanwhile, Mega slotted a Whistle into the Mega Driver and pressed down. AIR SHOOTER! She fired a tornado along the ground that destroyed five Arachne Phantoms by picking them up and flinging them onto sharp metal spikes that littered the walls of the room.

ERROR! “DIE! DIE! DIE!” Symbol chanted madly from off to the side as she continued to fight like a berserker.

“She really has lost it!” shouted Dante.

“NO! I HAVE NOT!” roared Symbol madly.

With that, the battle of the Provisions Storeroom was over.

Symbol dashed out of the room at such speed that if this was a cartoon, Dante was sure she would have let an outline where she had just been standing.

“Well, she’s,” Dante searched for the right word. “Eager,” he said at last.

“ALRIGHT!” shouted Symbol. “I’M SCARED OF SPIDERS! I ADMIT IT!” she roared into the air.

“That was kind of obvious,” deadpanned Dante as he ran past his sister.

Symbol grumbled under her breath.

They ran back into the Rounded Pathway and were assaulted by Phantoms once more.

“It’s one fight straight into the other!” Symbol pressed the Advance Timer’s thumb inward. CERBERUS MOUTH! The Cerberus Avatar appeared and moved around Blaster before phasing through her chest plate, coming out as the three Cerberus Mouths.

Blaster pressed her Wizard Driver’s left Shift Lever twice and then scanned her left glove across her Driver’s Hand Author as the left Cerberus Mouth glowed. TOUCH TO CAST THE NEXT LEVEL! ADVANCE BLASTER B TIER SPELL! The glowing Cerberus Mouth fired a ball of fire that shot through the air and slammed into one Enimga Phantom, burning him free.

Bounder hit her 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 BOUNDER A TIER SPELL! The emitters on her shin guards glowed as she shot forward and rammed her right shoulder pauldron into an Enigma Phantom, breaking through him and causing him to shatter into panels of glass-like light.

Blocker performed an offensive combat role as she opened the Blocker Artemis and then snapped it closed after spinning the chamber. BLOCKER MATCH STRIKE! A light blue chainsaw construct covered the sword-gun weapon as Blocker shot forward and slashed through three Pride Phantoms. The blue lines she had cut into them sparked before they exploded, taking out all three Phantoms.

The Phantom’s lives got even worse as Symbol saw that the Advance Timer had completed its fourth rotation. She pressed the thumb inward. ADVANCE COMBINATION TIME! Symbol and her four Advance Clones were pulled into the air, their magic circles appeared behind them as the clones were absorbed into Symbol, transforming her into the Full Advance Style.

Symbol landed back on the ground, now in her upgraded fusion form. Seeing an Enigma Phantom charging up his bows, she pressed her Driver’s left Shift Lever once. Then she scanned her left glove across the Wizard Driver’s Hand Author. TOUCH TO CAST THE NEXT LEVEL! FULL ADVANCE D TIER SPELL! The Phantom fired three light blue arrows of energy that shot through the air shattered against a circle-shaped shield construct that Symbol summoned on her right arm.

Symbol pressed her Driver’s left Shift Lever once. “Here we go!” she scanned her left glove across the Wizard Driver’s Hand Author. TOUCH TO CAST THE NEXT LEVEL! FULL ADVANCE D TIER SPELL! Symbol thrust her left glove forward as it glowed. “Take this!” she fired a beam of yellow light that shot through the air and washed over the Phantom, a powerful explosion zoomed through the area as the Phantom was freed.

Suddenly, sparks flew from Kamen Rider Symbol’s shoulder pauldrons. “Argh!” she spun around a saw an Enigma Phantom that had spawned behind her. “What a dirty trick!” she pressed her Driver’s left Shift Lever twice and scanned her left glove across the Wizard Driver’s Hand Author. TOUCH TO CAST THE NEXT LEVEL! FULL ADVANCE C TIER SPELL! Yellow energy wrapped around her right glove as Symbol darted forward. She took a red arrow to the chest plate before she was able to punch the Phantom with enough force to send him flying into the air where he exploded.

“You’re surprised that a Phantom used a “dirty trick”?” asked Dante, making finger quotes. 

“Of course not!” shouted Symbol as she ducked behind a gear, avoiding several arrows from another two Enigma Phantoms that had just risen out of the ground.

“Good, I just want to make sure that you weren’t losing it,” replied Dante as he got back to his own fight.

“He really knows how to get me mad!” pouted Symbol as she pressed the Advance Timer’s thumb inward again. FULL ADVANCE ARTEMIS! She reached into the magic circle and pulled out the Full Advance Artemis. 

“Time to get to work!” she opened the first chamber, spun it and then snapped it closed. VERY NICE! ADVANCE STRIKE! Symbol pulled the trigger as she slashed down, releasing a vertical crescent of water that shot through the air and cut through one of the Enigma Phantoms.

The second Enigma Phantom looked at his fellow Phantom as he exploded and then back at Symbol. He gulped as she charged.

X pressed a Whistle into the X Driver, dodged a slash from a Lust Phantom and pressed down on her Driver. RAY SPLASHER! She took aim at the Phantom and fired seven beams that shot through the air and slammed into him. He tried to dodge, but there was no room in the corridor.

Then X held her right glove into the X Driver, letting it bite down and channel purple energy into her glove. RAY SPLASHER BITE! She pointed her gloves up and fired a purple glass container. The Phantom’s eyes went wide in panic as the container fired over twenty beams of purple light. They shot down and hit him like hailstones, freeing him from the Phantom Hivemind.

Dante had been keeping his sister and her Gem Maiden Servants covered by keeping up the pressure on the Enigma Phantoms at the end of the pathway.

He was also having a great time with the Spiral.

He held down the trigger and took aim. POWER SHOT! As Dante released the trigger, he was blown back by the force of the bullet leaving the barrel. It tore through the air and ripped through the Phantom’s head.

“Whoa! This thing is powerful!” commented Dante.

“It looks like a high calibre gun!” shouted Symbol as she backed away from a Sloth Phantom. “What did you think it was going to do?! Tickle the Phantom’s to death?!” she shouted.

“No,” replied Dante. “But I didn’t think it would be that powerful,” muttered Dante.

Symbol gave him a look.

“Well, at least not powerful enough to knock me on my ass,” replied Dante.

The fight continued. 

Dante switched the Rebellion Ring for the Arbiter Ring and punched it into the Gate Driver’s left slot. SET! He turned his wrist back, then forward, closing and opening his Driver’s gate. OPEN! The Arbiter magic circle appeared from him Driver and moved back through him. A-R-B-I-T-E-R! Transforming Dante into the Arbiter Style.

He took aim with the Spiral and squeezed the trigger once more. POWER SHOT! Red energy gathered within the barrel before Dante released the trigger. This time he was driven back several feet, a column sized beam of energy shot out of the spiral. It washed over the Enigma Phantom and caused a powerful explosion to ripple through the area.

“It’s still more powerful than I thought it would be,” commented Dante.

“Once again: It’s a high calibre rifle!” shouted Symbol as she saw her brother was being a dummy.

“Did you just insult me?” asked Dante.

“No,” shouted back Symbol.

“Could have sworn I just heard someone call me a dummy,” muttered Dante.

“That’s how it’s done!” Dante crossed his arms.

The group ran back into the Subterranean Lake.

“So what now?” asked Dante. “Do we have to backtrack some more?” 

They were about to do that when Kamen Rider Symbol’s sharp eyes caught sight of something. “Look! Over there!” she pointed to a pathway that was behind the waterfalls.

“Was that there before?” asked Dante in shock.

“I don’t think so, well that path sure as heck wasn’t!” replied Symbol.

They ran through the waterfall.

“That’s cold!” shouted Symbol, shivering in shock.

The group was instantly under siege by Phantoms.

Symbol rolled her eyes as she pulled open the Full Advance Artemis’ first chamber and then snapped it closed. VERY NICE! ADVANCE STRIKE! She darted forward, protecting herself with a shield construct as the Gluttony Phantom fired a blast of sand at her. She jumped into the air and the blade of the Full Advance Artemis glowed. “HA!” she slashed down, cutting a glowing yellow line through the Phantom that caused him to explode into ash.

Symbol ducked as a Sloth Phantom teleported behind her. “Nice try!” she rolled forward and away from the Phantom. She pulled open the first chamber of the Full Advance Artemis as then snapped it closed once more. VERY NICE! ADVANCE STRIKE! She fired a chain from the gun that stabbed through the Sloth Phantom. He tried to teleport away, but the chain had sealed his abilities. He was pulled toward Symbol and then slashed with a blade that was glowing icy blue. Ice spread from the slash and froze the Phantom, who shattered when he hit the ground.

Suddenly, a Lust Phantom arrived in his Upgraded Form. He slashed Symbol several dozen times in the blink of an eye but failed to do a lot of damage. “Not bad, but I’m still better!” She pulled open both the first and the second chambers of the Full Advance Artemis before snapping them both closed. VERY NICE! DOUBLE ADVANCE STRIKE! The blade of the Full Advance Artemsi glowed as Symbol slashed down, firing a vertical crescent of water before she darted forward. The Lust Phantom was able to avoid the crescent, but that left him open. Kamen Rider Symbol covered the blade of the Full Advance Artemis in a fiery drill construct before stabbing it into the Lust Phantom, he was sent skipping across the ground, on fire, before he exploded in a massive ball of crimson plasma.

Symbol dodged a slash from a Pride Phantom and kicked him away. Then she saw that the Advance Timer had completed its final rotation. “Time to shine on!” Symbol pressed the thumb inward. FULL ADVANCE FORMATION! She was pulled into the air and the two Avatars appeared around her. The Agni-Rudra Avatar wrapped his arms around her and transformed into the Agni-Rudra Claws. Meanwhile, the Cerberus Avatar phased through Symbol’s backplate and transformed into the three Cerberus mouths.

Symbol pressed down on her Driver’s left Shift Lever once and then scanned her left glove across her Driver’s Hand Author. TOUCH TO CAST THE NEXT LEVEL! FULL ADVANCE D TIER SPELL! The Three Cerberus Mouths each spat out a huge ball of fire that roared through the air and engulfed the Pride Phantom, burning him to freedom.

Suddenly, a Sloth Phantom teleported behind Symbol and tried to slash her from behind, she turned around and grabbed his scythe with lightning-fast speed. Using her free glove, she pressed her Driver’s left Shift Lever twice and then scanned her left glove across the Wizard Driver’s Hand Author. TOUCH TO CAST THE NEXT LEVEL! FULL ADVANCE C TIER SPELL! Ice gathered around all three of the Cerberus Mouths as Symbol punched the Phantom in the face. He had no time to recover as the three Cerberus Mouths each fired a huge beam of ice, they spiralled around each other, merging into a single beam that froze him solid. “Take that and this!” Symbol kicked the Phantom, shattering and freeing him.

Suddenly, a Gargoyle Phantom struck her from behind. “Haven’t seen any of you in a while,” commented Symbol, dryly.

“That’s because we were stuck in that Leviathan Phantom!” called out Dante as he forced a Pride Phantom back.

“I know that, Dante!” Kamen Rider Symbol called back.

“Then why did you say it?!” demanded Dante as he forced the Phantom off and kicked him in the face. 

“It just felt like something good to point out!” called out Symbol.

“It was obvious!” shouted Dante.

“In your mind!” yelled Symbol.

While they argued, Weapon punched a Phantom back.

She quickly pressed the Dust Knuckle into the Weapon Driver. S-N-I-P-E-R! The Crescent Rifle appeared in a flash of red energy, she pointed it at the Lust Phantom and fired a beam of red energy that cut through the air. 

Only for the Phantom to spin to the side, avoiding the bullet as he ran toward Weapon. 

He was too late.

W-A-T-E-R D-U-S-T P-O-W-E-R-E-D! The second command kicked in and Weapon fired another bullet that turned into a tidal wave, washing the Phantom away and slamming him into a wall, causing him to explode and become free of the Phantom Mind’s control.

Weapon saw three Pride Phantoms rushing at her. She dodged under the first scythe and removed the Dust Knuckle from the Weapon Driver. She jumped over another scythe, using the Phantom that was wielding it as a booster pad, while she switched out the Crescent Rose Whistle for the Crocea Mors Whistle. C-R-O-C-E-A M-O-R-S! She slid across the ground, avoiding another scythe slash as she pressed the Knuckle into her palm. R-E-A-D-Y! Then she slammed the Knuckle back into the Driver as the Phantoms closed in around her from all sides. F-I-S-T O-N! The holographic suit of armour appeared from the Weapon Driver, knocking one of the Pride Phantoms back, letting Weapon run forward, escaping the other two Phantoms. She ran into the suit and transformed.

She quickly pressed the Knuckle into her Driver again. S-W-O-R-D! The Knight Sword appeared in a flash of white light. She gripped it in one glove and slashed the first Phantom, then she spun around, hacking at the other two Pride Phantoms, sparks flew from their bodies as they fell back out of sword range. 

Or so they thought.

W-A-T-E-R D-U-S-T C-H-A-R-G-E! With a mental command, the second command activated. Water covered the Knight Sword and extended it, Kamen Rider Weapon spun around, carving a blue line into each of the Phantoms. Water leaking out of the glowing blue cuts and wrapped around the three Pride Phantoms, crushing all of them and freeing them.

“Mission clear,” Kamen Rider Weapon spoke for the first time since the fight started.

Grimm had been fighting just as hard as her sister Kamen Rider.

She dodged a slash from a Pride Phantom and punched him in the face before slamming the Aura Knuckle into the Grimm Driver. B-E-R-I-N-G-E-L B-I-T-T-I-N-G! The Gorilla Gauntlets appeared in a flash of black mist. She pulled one of them back and punched the Phantom in the face. C-O-P-Y-C-A-T A-T-T-A-C-K! The second command activated as a rock clone appeared behind the Phantom. Grimm pulled back her fists and struck the Phantom in the chest with a double palm strike. The rock clone copied her actions. The force of the two blows resonated within the monster and caused the Phantom to shatter.

Suddenly, Grimm was struck from behind by a Lust Phantom. She spun on the spot, attempting to backhand the Phantom with one of the Gorilla Gauntlets. Only for the Phantom to dodge with ease. Grimm pressed the Aura Knuckle into the Grimm Driver. B-E-R-I-N-G-E-L T-E-A-R-I-N-G! The Gorilla Gauntlets vanished in black mist, which then materialized a banana bomb. C-O-P-Y-C-A-T B-A-T-T-L-E! Grimm pulled back her left arm and threw the banana bomb. It spiralled through the air, acting like a shuriken as it sawed through the Phantom and then exploded, destroying him in a flash of black light.

Suddenly, a Sloth Phantom appeared a slashed Grimm from behind, he was already in his upgraded form, so when Grimm threw a bomb at him, he was able to teleport it back to her. Damaging her with her own attack.

Grimm was cut across the chest armour as she removed the Knuckle from her Driver. She switched out the Copycat Whistle for the Lightning Channel Whistle after managing to duck under a blow from the teleporting Phantom. L-I-G-H-T-N-I-N-G C-H-A-N-N-E-L! She pressed the Aura Knuckle into her palm and then used it to punch the Sloth Phantom in the face. R-E-A-D-Y! As the Sloth Phantom recovered she slotted the Aura Knuckle back into the Grimm Driver. F-I-S-T O-N! The holographic suit of armour flew out and slammed into the Sloth Phantom, forcing him to teleport away as it moved back into Grimm.

Grimm dashed forward and slammed the Aura Knuckle into the Grimm Driver. B-E-R-I-N-G-E-L T-E-A-R-I-N-G! The Gorilla Gauntlets reappeared in a blast of black mist. Grimm waiting for the exact right moment. 

It came as the Sloth Phantom teleported in front of her.

L-I-G-H-T-N-I-N-G B-O-L-T! She punched him and sent a pink lightning bolt through him, causing the Phantom to get fried from the inside out.

“Mission clear,” spoke Grimm.

The group ran through the caravans and quickly came to a door, in which an image of a nude female was carved. 

“I’m not sure I should be seeing this,” muttered Symbol as she turned away.

“It looks like something can be placed in her hand,” Dante reached around and placed the Ambrosia into her palm.

The door lifted up, revealing a second door behind it.

“Let’s go,” they moved through the door and arrived in the sunken opera house.

As they walked in, a swarm of bats converged into the shape of a female. She wore the standard Gem Maiden Uniform, that was completely black with her lower body being heavily armoured while her upper body would have been left exposed, had it not been for her suit. Her hair was pulled up into a tight ponytail.

“Welcome sir,” she said in an inviting purr. “Is this your first time here?”

“Yeah it is,” replied Dante. “You’ll be nice to me, won’t you?”

She cupped his cheek with one hand. “Of course I will,” she chuckled.

“ACHO!” at that moment, Symbol was forced to dispell her transformation as cold blood on her body became too much.

“Oh, you poor dear!” cried the woman. “So cold and soaked with blood, you look so miserable.”

“I feel about as good as I look,” Sunset confirmed.

“There’s a shower in the back that you can use to get clean,” she explained. “I’ve got some old clothes in there as well.”

“Thanks,” Sunset ran off through the door.

“You have a shower in here?” asked Dante.

“Of course, Master Sparda and Mistress Eva were not savages,” replied the woman.

“What does my old man and my Mom have to do with that?” asked Dante.

“They were the ones that put us here in order to prevent anyone from using the tower,” then the woman realised what Dante had just said. “What, your mother?! Your-” she suddenly bit Dante.

“Ow!” he yelped. 

“-the son of my Master and Mistress, what are you doing here?!” demanded the woman.

“Long story, my power-obsessed brother is trying to use this tower to open the door to the Phantom world,” replied Dante.

“Why would do he do that?” asked the woman.

“As I said he’s obsessed with gaining power,” replied Dante.

“But he would have had to come through here in order to get get to the control room,” replied the Gem Maiden.

“Then he has clearly found another way through the tower,” came Ruby’s voice.

Dante turned to his sister and stared.

Sunset was now wearing a black long-sleeved dress with a high collar and red trim on the sleeves. She wore a black waist cincher with red lacing up the front and around her skirt was a red trim. Sunset also wore a pair of thick black stockings and black combat boots. The boots had red laces and trims around the top with red soles. Her cloak was now fastened to her shoulders by a pair of cross-shaped pins. She wore a large silver brooch which was pinned to a wide black belt that was slung around her hips on an angle.

“You look like a goth,” deadpanned Dante. “Even more than usual.”

“I like these clothes, they feel nice,” replied Sunset.

“Anyway, I will be coming with you,” suddenly, the Gem Maiden transformed into a pair of energy balls that shot at Sunset and Dante, they were absorbed into their Drivers.

“That was easy,” muttered Sunset.

“My name is Nevan,” came the female’s voice.

“And it was all so easy because I told her who our old man and mom were,” stated Dante proudly.

“Great,” Sunset rolled her eyes. 

“Nevan! So you have decided to join us!” greeted Swift Angi as he appeared on Ruby’s hip.

“It will be good to have you along!” added Swift Rudra from the other hip.

"Agni, Rudra," Nevan purred from Sunset’s Driver. "So you two are here, too? What made you leave your posts?"

"They are the Son and Daughter of Sparda and Eva,” Swift Agni explained.

"We are bound by the Master's and Mistress’s will to obey the young Master or in this case the young Mistress!" Swift Rudra added.

“Not to mention they both beat us in combat,” proclaimed both swords-pistols together. 

"Oh, I can see he's his father's son," Nevan purred. "It makes me want to-"

"You can flirt with my brother after we’ve stopped our other brother! And when I’m not in the room!" shouted Sunset, cutting the living weapon off.

"Of course, Mistress," Nevan agreed obediently.

Dante groaned as he facepalmed. "Great," he mumbled to himself. "Another voice for the peanut gallery and this one sounds sexy."

"You know it, mister!" Nevan crowed.

"It is good you have joined us, Nevan!" Swift Agni spoke up.

"Yes!" Swift Rudra agreed. "Now we can surely encourage Lady much better for the young Master!"

"Oh, that's going to be fun!" Nevan purred again.

“Balls,” added Giga Cerberus.

“Be quiet puppy,” ordered Nevan.

Dante groaned, hanging his head in despair as he headed back out the door which Nevan had been guarding.

His sister following, giggling at her brother despair as she felt her strength returning.
