Alice nodded, "The Category 2 of Hearts and Category 5 of Spades. I sense the residual amounts of their presence." Alice looked towards Kotone and Sasaki.

"I realize that this is not a appropriate time for talking about yourself. If you wish to validate our trade of information, meet me here alone later. Then we will be able to talk. But I will tell you this: There are 52 Undead and two Jokers: Red and Black. There are four champions of the Aces and three have revealed themselves. Chalice of Hearts, Blade of Spades, and Garren of Diamonds. Leangle of Clubs remains hidden. We shall meet again."

Taking a short bow, Alice excused herself as she exited the graveyard.

'Who were the other people there?' Alice frowned, 'They bore no mark of being related to the Undead by power. Why are they here and who are they?' Pondering her thoughts, Alice walked away, not noticing that she was being followed.

Helios glared at Ryuuya briefly, "I wish to be left alone. If any of the enemies reveal themselves I will go after them. You may join me or stay behind, but I will not wait for you."

Damon glanced at Helios, "I can show you your room if you wish while we wait for Kistune-dono to get something to wear. If you learn how to assume a human form while you stay here you will have more freedom outside of this house." Gesturing around, "If you follow me, I will show you."
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
"This... This is all mine?" Helios stared in disbelief as he looked around in 'his' room. It was rather large with several pieces of furniture although it looked rather bare. A large bed in the back, neatly set up.

"Yeah..." Damon replied, scratching the back of his head, "I understand that you might not be comfortable living in another world. I'll try my best to make you and the others as comfortable as possible."

"I... appreciate the effort." Helios muttered, seemingly stunned by his surroundings.

"You can look around here for a while but you might want to assume a human form first." Damon added, "I would have to move you to another room if you poke holes in the bed."

Helios looked down upon his body and concentrated upon his body. This was the first time he did this, seeing as the people in his tribe preferred their natural forms. With a brief flash of light, his body changed. Helios' body grew thinner and more compact, the white fur on his body vanishing while his body began to get more human-like every second. When the transformation was finished, Helios stood in a human form. It appeared to be around the same age as Damon was. Crimson hair and emerald eyes were the defining aspects of Helios' human form. He was clothed in gray, white and blue, the same colors that originally had.

Helios stared at his own body in shock, frantically observing the changes to his body. Trying to walk forward, Helios tripped over his own feet, falling on his rear.

Damon suppressed an amused chuckle before hauling Helios to his feet.

"I'm guessing that it will take a while before you are fully acclimated. Take your time." Damon said simply. Helios nodded his acknowledgement before he took several more steps, each foot moving unsteadily before he advanced step after step.

"I guess I'll leave you here then. Let me know if you need anything," Damon took a slight bow and left the room, closing it behind him.

Helios lay down on the - his new bed, feeling a little uncomfortable at the softness of the mattress. He hated being in the form. It was so fragile, so pathetic. But he knew, eventually, that he would grow accustomed to it. He only needed time and he had all the time in the world.

Karoi nodded lightly acknowledging what had lain locked within the storage room had been in fact Fantasian technology. The silver-hair young woman shifted from reading each blue prints and devices could not come across a direct answer for Takuya’s questionnaires. What she knew ere only the basic fundamentals connecting their two worlds by a hidden veil and how humans unknowingly are able to see Fantasia through their dreams. Dreams that have helped shape the Human World’s era through each generation one way or another. This brought her back around to the main question behind the Fantasian technology presence within the very room. Not to rule out the possibility that the only known Fantasians to escape into the Human World alone it was more than likely Takuya’s was investigating Fantasians whom may have entered long before them.

“Kusanagi†Karoi turn the blue print around for him to see, “It is merited investigating further if Sakuya Kusanagi may have the answers to these questions. Take a look at this…†Karoi spread the sheet on a cleared section for them to view together, “Memory Gadgets each designed for various purpose work in a similar fashion as the Gaia Memories themselves. Likely Sakuya Kusanagi played a key role in your grandfather’s investigation with a deeper understanding towards the development of the Gaia Memories to have helped him.†Skimming across the blue prints schematics, “Most of these blue prints schematics are incomplete works I may be able to continue where they left off and will provide us with a little more assist.†In the corner of Karoi’s mind slipped back to that day she had awakened to break free of her bonds and destruction caused. There were many of the Fantasian scientist working on Project Fang that were lost that wondered if this person may actually not be human at all was part of that group who had escaped long before then.

“Your grandfather might very well be investigating Fantasian existence and for the same reason we are.†Karoi tried to shift off topic, “If you are going to do any investigating at all suppose that I’ll have to finish this motorcycle, hm?†It was something to do that helped eased what she felt to be a guilty conscious destroying her birthplace and those within. Why was it now she was feeling this regret and eagerness to learn if one of the scientists involved refused to follow Aesir’s plan. “Though….Though I think that it is for the best that you see this person alone and I’ll continue from here.†Karoi stared silently wondering if their connection had revealed the sin she had committed. They have not been together very long found it oddly comforting to be around him did not him to think what other viewed her as….a weapon.

Kivat III exchanged silent glances between the two falling back upon Shiro’s face feeling as if his mistress had had been now threaten by this lowly cur. “Ingram was it not?!â€, Shiro lifted one hand gracefully beckoning the golden Kivat to her side, “Then you will understand that those words are utterly meaningless in that self-declaration to me. Equally as there are those whom at the very cost of their own lives dare to defy Aesir and his forces can be also deceivers hidden amongst them. Deceivers who claim easily like the very air they breathe no longer serve the dark deity in hopes that the rumor is true bring forth utter darkness when the time is right. I had not expected an answer no less than that of one who served the dark deity. Actions speak more loudly than words alone and shall test them if you challenge me.â€

A lesson that Shiro learned harshly at a tender young age that evens the simplest of smiles and closeness of warmth hides a deeper darkness. Keeping her hand poised Kivat III flew towards Ingram attacking the Fantasian’s head with another wave of insults. “You should show some gratitude toward my Lady for standing long as you have. Though you have now worn out that gratitude and answered with a challenge now accepted.â€

“Kivat!†Shiro turn around slowly walking towards Ingram.

“Alright!†Kivat shouted excitedly ready for battle now that his mistress found a worthy opponent. Shiro reached out grasping onto Kivat III drawing him down to her left hand. “Bite†From Kivat’s bite Shiro’s hand the color of her skin changed taking on a more stain glass-like spreading up reaching the Fantasian’s neck and face. Around Shiro’s waist metal chains formed around taking on the red colored henshin belt.

“Now I will see if you speak the truth…or continue to lie.†Shiro said inserting the winged Kivat into place upside down on the belt. “Henshin†ran towards Ingram as Kiva’s armored materialized around her body in a ripple of waves. Drawing her right hand back into a balled up fist the glassed shattered revealing the silver/red/black Kamen Rider Kiva. Only be engaging would Shiro find out from Ingram’s actions alone rather or not was being true. If by chance the Fantasian was speaking the truth will be decided upon, but until saw him nothing more than a servant of Aesir.

Kitsune had had left the others company to their own agendas for the time being seeking out for a formal outfit ponder about that night. While at the mentioning that the Kamen Rider Knights presence were likely to be there as well the fox Fantasian would not jeopardize any chances finding new allies. To Kitsune those two factors were equally guilty for all the damage caused did not want to lose now what she has gain with Damon and company. What Kitsune imagined to be an easy task having used Damon’s laptop to search for a nearby formal wear store ended up to be daunting. Maybe not completely after enduring what seemed like an endless fitting caught sight what appeared to be four women standing in a graveyard behind the closed off fence separating her from them.

Holding carefully not to crush the designer gown against her chest stared transfixed at them. There was something in the air surrounding them that bothered her nose and raised the hair on the back of her neck. From afar their scents clashing with one another told that they were far from humans of this world kept her far from a distant much curiosity beckoned to investigate. “Curiosity killed the cat†Kitsune chuckled,“Good thing I’m not a cat†she muttered heading back home. Memorizing their faces and scent Kitsune would keep an eye out hoping their paths will cross again.

Ryo gritted his teeth with dangerous strength when he heard the android shift into Accel Arm. Without thinking about any possible repercussion, the redhead drove his fist forwards clashing head to head with the androids with so much form that it sent a discharge for sheer energy throughout the rooftop they were fighting on.

"Gyaaaargh!" Exceed roared as he pushed forward. Soon, cracks tarted to appear on the the android's Accel Arm as it succumbed to the strength of the original design. Taking his chance, Ryou willed his arm to transform.

"Critical Arm" The Rider System's mechanical voice called out as the giant fist was replaced. The new mode was nothing more than a shoulder followed by a large flat, rectangular piece, however a red energy started to emerge out of its end, tearing through the android's damaged arm.

The android stepped back as if it were it pain that its arm was destroyed. This act only served to infuriate the redhead even more. "Take this!" He exclaimed before swinging his energy blade, cutting the android in two. The Exceed armor returned to its Offline mode as the android exploded, leaving Ryo alone, panting on the rooftop as he tried to compose himself.

===

Ragna could feel his vision getting blurrier every time his Eternal Edge met with Xeph's Zanbat. "It must be that cursed blade's doing..." The white night reasoned, even if he had not yet become reacquainted with the battle field, there was no reason that he would become this exhausted so fast.

A new barrage of energy slashes was sent flying at Eternal courtesy of Dark Kiva and his new sword. Ragna jumped around must of them, but was not quick enough to get out of the way of three of them. The black haired man had no choice but to wrap himself in the Eternal Robe before the attacks make contant, letting the cap absorb most of the impact.

The fallen warrior panted as he listened to his rival's question. "I have wandered lost on this world for a very long time... I have seen humans raise themselves up so that they can be brought down, I have witness empires tumble over and the innocent suffer..." He admitted. "Despite my condition, I know more about human darkness than you can ever hope to understand." Suddenly, Eternal straightened up. "But I have also seen their goodness... The unlimited potential in hold and the light that shines in their hearts." The white Rider took the Eternal Memory out of his Driver and inserted inside the Eternal Edge. "I am not why I fought for back in Fantasia... If it was only out of loyalty or something more... But I know why I fight for now and I would do anything to protect it!" He declared.

"Eternal... Maximum Drive!" The small blade called out.

"Even if my never-ending life is filled with suffering and pain..." Ragna added before impaling the ground with the Eternal Edge activating the Requiem. Immediately a wave of energy swept through the surroundings, inflicting pain on everything in sight, including the fallen knight that triggered.

 

[MagiPink]

From the ground level Raina watch observing the two combatants clash undetermined what to make out of it. Like watching mirrored reflections fighting one another sought out something in their mannerisms reveal their true nature. If she were now engaged the two fighters may help turn the tide in the situation for better or worse. A course of action best not to take played the role that of an observer instead shadowing them. However, Raina and Kivarra detected the presence of a familiar presence interested on the fight between the two unidentified Kamen Riders as well. The decaying smell of flesh and brimstone hinted Aesir’s underlings close at hand possibly acting as the dark deity’s eyes. With their presence it was imperative that she reached them first. It was never a good sign when those vile creatures were present raced toward the rooftop quickly as possible.

What exactly had she hope to accomplish reaching them first?! If Raina could not convince the two Kamen Riders a voluntarily truce alerting them of the threat closing in may have to engage them in battle snapping them back to their senses. “Kivarra!†Raina panted heavily running up the numerous flights of stairs occasionally shot a glance outside each passing window along the way, “You must fly up ahead of me.†Shot her winged companion a brief glance, “Do what you feel is necessary just distract them lone enough.†Flapping her wings Kivarra nodded understanding went up ahead leaving Raina to follow behind. The battle above the rooftop intensive sped Raina’s determination to reach them in time before matters take more of a darker turn. At the point the two combatants released a discharge of sheer energy paused looking up the flight banister clung onto the hand railing tightly for support as the building shook.

When all feel silent Raina feared having made the wrong decision sending Kivarra up ahead refused pushed open the door leading onto the rooftop skidded to a halt. The battle had been decided as the twisted version of the Kamen Rider lay strewn across the battle cemented flooring. “You’ve should have seen it.†Kivarra could not contain her excitement Raina sighed inwardly in relief. Though the brief moment of relief waived staring at the victor’s back covering Kivarra’s mouth as not to startle the new Kamen Rider. From Raina’s perspective of the armor clad figure to have been fighting likely for days without rest it appear. Below the underlings that had been dispatched along with the twisted android dispersed back into the darkness did Raina feel safe to approach Ryo. After having come out of that battle imagined that it would be safer to approach as Raina and not Kamen Rider Kivala. The more she walked out into the building rooftop there was something surrounding the young rider’s aura that felt oddly familiar. “Stay exactly where you are†Raina said calmly coming towards the middle of the rooftop floor, “Either you’ve passed a test designed by Aesir’s forces to test your worth or pissed the hell out of him to have a doppelganger……†Raina knelt down examining a fragment of the disposed doppelganger.

Alice nodded, "The Category 2 of Hearts and Category 5 of Spades. I sense the residual amounts of their presence." Alice looked towards Kotone and Sasaki.

"I realize that this is not a appropriate time for talking about yourself. If you wish to validate our trade of information, meet me here alone later. Then we will be able to talk.

'Who were the other people there?' Alice frowned, 'They bore no mark of being related to the Undead by power. Why are they here and who are they?' Pondering her thoughts, Alice walked away, not noticing that she was being followed.

To be honest, Sakaki was a bit too occupied in worrying about this Tamao person to fully notice Alice. That is, until Alice spoke up and listed off the number of Undead and Jokers, including the Aces. She recognized that she was this Chalice of Hearts, which she felt was a bit off. Hearts were the last thing she should be associated with, but that wasn't what really got her. It was the whole "residual energy" thing that bothered her and she had a feeling she should know what Alice meant. In fact, she would have went after Alice to talk to her more, but she looked at Tamao again.

"Look, since you still haven't answered my earlier question, how about you follow me and Kotone back to our place so I can see if you are trustworthy or not?" She said, trying to reason with the other girl.

 

[Grand Kougami]

It was an afternoon of Thursday when the alarms were set by the the group of invading individuals and the group of people from Fantasia were in deep worry and fear. Scott Weyland himself ordered his men to find a place for them to be kept alive. "Sir, please protect us from them. We are amongst the last of our kind and that we must pass this technology to you since our time is coming to an end." one of the people from Fantasia begged. Scott Weyland then said in reply "We will do our best to keep those individuals away from you." a female member of that group then replied as she took the Gatack System to Scott "please take this and use it against them.". Scott nodded and then said "I will. And now since you have instructed me how to use it, then shall it be as you wish.". He wore the belt and extended his hand into the air and a robotic blue stag beetle came flying towards him and he grabbed it and slid it into the slot of the belt where it is to be placed and shouted "HEN変 身SHIN!". A series of red lights glowed clockwise alongside some special sounds in the Zecter's body alongside a voice that says "HENSHIN!" then a glow of concentric blue lights with hexagonal plates appeared afterwards and thus engulfing him and thus a few moments that passed, he became the armored hero named Kamen Rider Gatack. He then ordered his men to take them to Level 50 of the Weyland Enterprise's building within a mountain for a flying transport vehicle was waiting for them to be transported to their Lunar Base and trying to seal all entrances and exits that they pass through. He went to a part of that room where he was standing and opened a door and saw a blue customized bike that corresponds to his theme was made. He rode on it and went to where the trouble is.

He saw one of the individuals firing a laser cannon on him but missed and he said "Grr! This one is quite a bad one. Time to give him a pain he won't forget." he then fired his shoulder cannons to him. He knocked him down but got up once again revealing his true form, a Worm of the Aracneworm Level 1 form. "Oh great, now he amongst the 9 individuals that came in is an alien? Wow! Now this is getting more interesting. Looks like I am gonna take them out one at a time. Guess those who " the Worm then came forward to him and tackled him but missed since he is quite an excellent biker. "You think tackling is the best of strategy? Let me show you how it is done! Take these!" he said and fired 4 shots from each of his shoulder cannons in succession. He knocked it down again but got up and started to molt. It became the Aracneworm Rubor and started to take Clock Up mode which hit him a lot and knocked him down from his bike. "Aaaaah!!!" he muttered as he fell and the Worm came close to him in normal speed. It picked him up and delivered a punch. He however blocked it successfully but the worm started to shoot web from its mouth. "Dang! I guess it is time for Rider form to begin its STAT procedure". He was wrapped up in a web and the Worm was about to deliver its deathblow on him but he quickly said "CAST OFF!" pulled the Zecter's mandibles backwards and so a voice said "CAST OFF!" alongside a series of red and yellow lights glowed and his armor then tore the web that wrapped him and molted out into his Rider Form which made him look sleeker than . He said "CLOCK UP!" then slapped the side of the belt and a voice said "CLOCK UP!" and took those Gatack caliburs from his shoulders and did battle with the Worm that dared to attack him which was also clocking up at high speed. He slashed the Worm several times and it fell down and he said "Time to finish you off you abomination and then take care of the others next." and pressed the yellow button of his Zecter thrice and said a voice said "1, 2, 3" and pulled its mandibles half way and returned them back to where they were in Rider Form and said "Game over for you!" and a voice said "Rider Cutting!" while yellow electricity flowed from the Zecter towards his weapons after he placed them together into one pair of scissors and ran towards the Worm which was down, suffering by those severe slashes that were inflicted on him by Mr. Weyland. "AAAAAAAAH!!!!" shouted Weyland as the scissors were in place at the Worm's belly and said "Die!" and cut it down to while high voltage electricity flowed towards it. The Worm then explodes in blue flames. He said "That's it for this time, I must intercept the other 8 which might overtake them in this huge science facility of the Weyland Enterprise." and returned the mandibles into their original location and a voice said "PUT ON!" and those which were casted off from him returned back and he returned to his bike and went off to the other 8.

 

[Ziginz Zegell]

The power of the warrior in white was not what Xeph hoped it would be, yet he could not deny the power of Ragna’s final attack. The energy surged through the dark knight and began to weaken him! This was the sign Xeph had been waiting for: a sign that his chosen foe still had power! Xeph let out a roar, however, as the seal of Kiva appeared beneath his feet and pushed aside the energy of his enemy’s attack. As the warrior was lifted into the air, leaving Eternal weakened bellow, he lifted his hand and scoffed. “You still have power, but you are not yet worthy to use it, or to face me. Perhaps I should have left you to rot where I found you. No matter…this should be test enough to see if you are still worthy to be my nemesis.” With these words said, a dozen more Kiva seals appeared around Xeph and pointed toward the kneeling Ragna. For a moment nothing happened, until Xeph clinched his fist and a torrent of baleful swords created from the rider’s dark energy rained from the seals and toward the white armored warrior. After nearly a minute, the flood of blades ceased, and the seals vanished. Xeph looked down at the dust left by his attack before turning away without a word and floating back toward his Castle Doran. Once inside, the dragonic castle roared and took flight as a cloak of invisibility covered its form. Xeph had left the battle field unaware if Ragna was still alive or not, though he secretly hoped the man was.

Once he had returned to his normal state, the silver haired swordsman returned to his throne room and sat once more next to the black feather fantasian he called his ally. It was clear he was a bit perturbed, though not many would be able to tell it. He finished another glass of wine and turned to his consort. “Once Doran has landed I suggest you continue with you plans. I doubt I will be a hospitable host for some time and believe you already have a pawn in play.” With these words Xeph rose from his chair and began to walk out of the chamber. It was then that he sensed an all too familiar power in the city bellow. He knew what sort of person it was, and felt surprised that any of his heirs yet lived. While he was a bit curious, it was not enough to break him from his current state of melancholy even as he turned to his female companion once more. “You may stay for the night at least. I find myself in a foul mood for which your company will not sooth, but may help distract me for a time.” With that he walked into the darkness not caring whether she followed or not. For Xeph the day had been full of new found opportunities and some small bit of excitement, but had ended with great disappointment. Ragna, his nemesis, had shown some small spark of his former power, but it had not been enough to impress the shadow knight. Yet, their had been the valkyrie called Cisne, the many riders with various powers, the man in black, and now one of his own heirs. There was also the chance of Ragna having survived and even the chance of him regaining his full power. Still, Xeph was an ancient being and bouts of melancholy were an easy trap for him to fall into. It would pass, and with the dawning of a new day he would continue with his plans. For the next few hours, however, the silver wind would not threaten the world bellow. For now…he would wait for a new day to dawn.


-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------


Ingram looked upon the bat like warrior with some surprise. It wasn’t that she was Kiva, nor that she had challenged him. Rather it was the woman’s decision to test Ingram’s honor in battle when words had failed. How one does battle: truly there are fewer ways more reliable when wishing to learn the true nature of another. “Very well…I shall show you my true nature. May our battle be one of valor, and integrity.” Around Ingram’s waist glowed a brilliant red light as the belt known as the Arcle manifested. With the normal motions of his arms and hands he invoked his transformation into the red armored warrior: Kuuga. Taking his combat stance, Ingram slowly read his rival’s movements in hopes of predicting her first move. The waiting game was not something the fantasian warrior enjoyed, but it was necessary in a battle against an unknown foe. The question was, who would strike first, and just how hard.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------


Ryuuya Returned to his room after receiving an answer from Helios. It was clear that earning the canine fantasian’s trust would take some doing. Kitsune, at least, seemed trustable, while Damon still kept much to himself. Ryuuya didn’t have a right to complain, however, as he still had neglected to tell the three of his past. They still though him a simple guy who had awakened to fantasian powers. While the truth probably wouldn’t affect their outlook upon him, Ryuuya was still reluctant to tell them everything. For all he knew any one of the three might be connected to those that had killed his family and tried to kill him. Yet none of them had recognized him, or at least they hadn’t seemed to yet. As he pondered his next move, Ryuuya’s cell phone beeped, singling a text message. The message was from one of the ex-reporter’s informants that had only a picture attached to it. The picture was of a Rider in silver armor worn over a blue, latex like under suit. The belt was what caught Ryuuya’s attention more then the armor of the rider. That belt, it was almost identical to what Helios had described. This meant there was more then one “Undead” rider out there. Almost immediately after, another text, this one a bad quality video recording taken from a high building looking down upon a park, arrived to Ryuuya’s cell. The video was far more shocking then the picture and left the young man dumbfounded. It showed two riders fighting each other and then a giant, dragon…castle…thing, flying away. Ryuuya texted back to his informant and discovered that many others had been in the area, but almost seemed to be ignoring the battle. Even the informant felt compelled to look away and deny the fight was even happening. If not for the recording he probably would deny it ever happened.

‘What the hell…what could cause a large mental effect like that?” Ryuuya didn’t know the answer, but remembered an old, Lovecraften horror story he once read where a large group of people witnessed a terrible event that their minds couldn’t comprehend. To keep from going mad the group actually blocked out the whole thing, or felt compelled to look away. Was it possible that a battle between two, immensely powerful fantasians could have caused a similar mental effect, or was some sort of psionic or magical effect behind it? One thing was certain, Damon and the others needed to see this even if it did mean risking telling them his back ground. Ryuuya walked out of his room and almost immediately ran into Damon, who had just left Helios in his new quarters. “H-hey Damon…uh…I just got a text from this guy I know, and you won’t believe what he caught.” Ryuuya decided the video was more pressing then the picture and showed it to his comrade. He had some idea of how Damon would react…though he wasn’t sure to what extreme.

[Milky Rose]

To be honest, Sakaki was a bit too occupied in worrying about this Tamao person to fully notice Alice. That is, until Alice spoke up and listed off the number of Undead and Jokers, including the Aces. She recognized that she was this Chalice of Hearts, which she felt was a bit off. Hearts were the last thing she should be associated with, but that wasn't what really got her. It was the whole "residual energy" thing that bothered her and she had a feeling she should know what Alice meant. In fact, she would have went after Alice to talk to her more, but she looked at Tamao again.

"Look, since you still haven't answered my earlier question, how about you follow me and Kotone back to our place so I can see if you are trustworthy or not?" She said, trying to reason with the other girl.

Taking note of the presence of the other woman -- Alice -- Tamao remained silent as the other woman left. She then brought her presence back to Sakaki and Kotone, with Kotone continuing to embrace Sakaki rather tightly. "A..anou...please don't fight, Sakaki-san," Kotone pleaded, somewhat close to tears from the fear she felt. Naturally, Tamao noticed this as well. I better go with them then, just so that this young woman would feel reassured, she told herself, proceeding to speak up.

"Very well, miss. I shall follow you to your place. That young woman embracing you seems rather distraught. The best thing we could do is bring her home and let her rest," she told Sakaki, kneeling down to look at Kotone, who proceeded to look back at Tamao amidst the tears. "I-I'm Kotone," she told Tamao, proceeding to introduce herself. "I am Tamao Hitsugaya. I'm with the good guys. I can help protect you," Tamao replied, giving Kotone a reassuring smile.

Meanwhile, from a distance, a woman with short, blue hair observed the scene quietly. The woman, named Elly Mayberry, nodded upon confirming the scene, proceeding to walk away. Along the way, she pulled out her cellphone, proceeding to dial Dorian Saber's number. Seems like the Knights got to that Sakaki first...good... she told herself inwardly, placing the phone next to her ear.

Kitsune’s search towards a gown to wear at the hosted event stumbled across few non-fantasian elegant designs she dared to claim more clairvoyant than the others which highly impressed her. While not quite fond of the original color pink/rose layered strapless formal dress designed for an event what humans called a Prom, Kitsune found an identical dress in black/silver color more appropriate for a formal and shoes to match. The last thing that the fox-fantasian did an inquiry were hairstyles most suitable did not require much attention being able to take care of that herself. Acquiring the dress needed to speak with Damon to obtain it rightfully than taking it by illegal means. His kindness up to this very present still astounded confirmed that she had chosen correctly. Taking the printed page from the print out walked out of her room, “If we can get an Undead on our side…and that is quite the big “IF†for an ally we will surely be able to stand against both parties.†Brushing few strands of hair over her right ear, “Forgive me, but even in this human form can hear much what you guys are saying. Damon-kun…I do believe that I’ve found something to wear, but you wouldn’t mind helping me pick it up?â€

Maybe the idea sounded a bit daft inside Kitsune’s thoughts, but if the Undead were running about in the Human World as it appears. Exactly how many of them were keen on the idea of serving the dark deity once more. At least she hopes they may able to gain their trust before that of the Kamen Rider Knights themselves.

With the recent development Aesir was overly pleased despite the fact of few traitorous wolves in sheep clothing. The ancient deity held no qualm playing the oblivious fool to grant them time muster the courage and power within themselves to attempt a coup of their own against him. The insectoid fantasian general Javiero despite failure was the genuinely loyal of the bunch was interested in what the insectoid had in store to unleash upon the human world. “Javiero, I want a status update on your recovery and to that pet project…..†Aesir reached out via communication portal paused seeing a messenger bowed down in respect “One moment. You, what is it?!†he asked calmly and cold.

“We have reason to believe that a few rebels escaped into the Human World my Lord.†The messenger kept his attention fixated upon the marble floor. Aesir kept the communication that Javiero may listen and bare witness too. “A small band of them….three….or four….â€

“I see,†Aesir replied deadpanned, “Anything of ordinance found amongst them by chance?â€

“An ancient relic that they had stolen and trying to develop its power further…†The messenger look up hesitantly, “However, they did not escape without losing some of their party and are wounded themselves†This was sputtered quickly in hopes to appease the master. “The Gatack relic†Aesir turn his back onto the messenger smiling darkly.

“As I was going to say Javiero that I look forward to seeing this latest creation of yours and wish you best recovery. Now must entrust you to carry out an important task retrieving an ancient relic that has entered the Human World and punished the traitors who are now on the verge of death. While I entrust Xeph to carry out that I have asked find this far too delicate to be handle by him.†Aesir did not want to make it aware towards anyone that he knew of Xeph’s own plans to absurd him in power. It was likely the insectoid general may want to get back at the dual colored rider did not fear him to disobey a direct order.

The way that the red armored opponent ready himself into the test Kiva read much within the stance. Not already few minutes into their battle Kiva saw that he was reading into her movements at a slow pace. Applauding Ingram’s merit reading her fighting style found it also to serve as a weak point as it left him vulnerable. By this action Ingram had left him open not by an attack from her, but from their surrounding or other potential threats. An insight that Shiro planned to have illuminate with the next move make it red-clad rider eyes opened. When Kiva drew within a few inches of Kuuga twisted her body in angle faking to aim at his left side seeing how he may react.

Throwing her opponent balance off guard Shiro skidded delivering an upward kick into his back throwing the red clad warrior stumbling forward into the muddy puddle street. A key into defeating one opponent did factor reading their movements to deter what they will do, it is imperative at the same time to be aware of one’s own surrounding at the same time or fall prey. One of many harsh lessons that Shiro was raised….no…trained by the fantasian whose blood flood like a parasite within her. Watching Kuuga hit the ground let out a heavy sigh shifting into a defensive stance, “Hmmm….If you’re trying to win me over must confess that I’m not remotely impressed.†Shiro flexed her finger beckoning him to come.

Gazing at the city from an hospital bed within its recovery ward Kinjou Madoka tune out the conversation of her adoptive family speaking with the family pediatrician. What the pediatrician did not quite understand had been Madoka’s miraculous development since her last stay. “At first were doubtful of the test result till we got a few more opinions but are glad to share with you that Madoka may return home today.†Flipping over the page on his clip board, “Even with this turnabout shall ask that if Madoka does have another relapse that you bring her back.†The Yoshida nodded understanding thanking them for everything that they have done to help their daughter.

Medical science of the Human World may never truly understand the phenomenal that had transpired Madoka was appreciated to be given a new chance on life. A lease on life that was granted only by those she only imagined in fairy tales dared not share with adults who will never understand. There was still much that she did not quite understand had had made a promise to the fleeting ancient spirits that reach out for help. Expanding her Cosmic Energy tried shifting sorting out the conflicting energies unnoticed living within each being. Amongst the faint traces Madoka detected several each different from the next. These power energi reached out the loudest and yet far dispersed to deter the differences.

“I hope you’re okay….†Madoka whispered to herself, “….sisterâ€

Damon quickly snatched the phone out of Ryuuya's hands and took a brief glance at the riders. "I'm guessing your friends sent these. Xeph again is probably the most dangerous of the enemies so far."

Damon would have to keep an eye on Ryuuya. Those pictures were way too high quality to have been sent via phone. The video, although a little shaky from movement was held somewhat still, meaning the recorder obviously had a lot fo experience with cameras.

"Thank you for showing it to me though." Damon replied before turning to face Kitsune and her request for going out. The moment he heard the affection -kun on his name, Damon did the most uncharacteristic thing either of his guests had.

"K-kun?" Damon sputtered, his face beet red with embarrassment with the affectionate suffix. "Ah...um...I..." Damon coughed, quickly bottled the pathetic feeling away before returning to his emotionless state of being. That didn't stop him from blushing slightly. "My apologies... I'm not used to anyone calling me -kun..." Dammit, they weren't supposed see this weak side of him.

"In the meantime, I am available to retrive your wear for the ball, I need to fetch some supplies for the event as well. Also I agree, a good neutral party such as an Undead would be good to bolster our group. There should be some of willing to side with Aesir. I am ready to leave when you are ready."

Alice sighed as she began to walk around town, observing the surroundings and analyzing the people around her. Frequently they talked about mundane things, such as homework, music, and the dozens of other topics that young adults spoke of. But occasionally people began to talk about the newly emerged Kamen Riders. She heard a few people chatting idly about their favorite. So far, Blade seemed to be the more popular ones as discussed by a few random...fangirls. Alice shuddered and she wondered if they knew that Blade was a girl. The suit made her voice gender neutral, so they couldn't really tell the gender of Blade and assumed she was a guy. It was... disturbing.

Looking between on the roads before the crowd dispersed, leaving Alice alone on a muddy street. The sky began to pour rain softly, the wet drops descending upon her hair. Pulling out a small umbrella, Alice began to walk into the rain, the falling droplets of water drumming against the fabric of her umbrella. Looking up from her daydreaming in her slow meander through the streets, Alice managed to quickly step back as two armored warriors sped past her. One bore red armor, reminding her of a humanoid stag beetle while the other looked like a... vampire?

"More riders..." Alice sighed, "To be expected, although do they really have to brawl here?"

Clearing her throat, Alice caught both of the riders' attention, "Do you really have to battle here and now? You'll only draw attention to yourselves and it will be only a matter of time before the Undead discover you are here. Really," Alcie sighed, "you two are doing yourselves a diservice by attacking each other in such a manner."
