In the guest room, Rothus slept soundly in his bed, unaware of the being that entered his body. Then he started to sweat and furrowed his brows as the vivid dream took form in his mind and soul.

The redhead found himself in at a scene of a wooden entrance which was covered in flames. He looked around before walking through the gates and saw a massive, burning, wooden building that appeared a bit different from the Japanese buildings he saw earlier despite the same design. Then the sounds of fighting and clashing swords could be heard by him. Then the redhead soon found himself facing the back of a silhouette man standing in the midst of a burning building with a flintlock gun in one hand and a katana in the other.

"So this is the end of my conquest… Should have known that stuck up Mitsuhide would pull something like this." The man with a samurai top knot hair style muttered in disappointment.

Rothus narrowed his eyes in confusion and suddenly a figure charged past him. "Die Nobunaga!" shouted the unnamed samurai who charged at the man.

Which quick movements, Nobunaga sidestepped to let the blade closely pass his body before he pressed a lit flintlock pistol into the man's unarmored side. Then he fired,

*BANG*

The shot killing the unknown samurai with ease and his body fell like a puppet with its strings cut.

"There he is!" shouted another samurai which the man known as Nobunaga, sword in hand, turned to face them. The warlord wordlessly faced them with sword in hand and readied to fight to his death.

Then a piece of lumber fell down and crashed between him and the attackers.

"Leave him! The temple is falling down! He will die here in its flames!" shouted a samurai.

Then the men quickly left, leaving the warlord to face his end in the flames.

"Hmph. Cowards. Can't take my head in fear of the flames. Though with how far burned the temple is, I wouldn't be surprised if the ceiling fell on top of my head. But enough depressing talk." The warlord kneeled and placed a dagger before himself as the room started to crumble from the flames.

"Thank you for holding together as I perform this act, Honnouji." The man unsheathed an ornate dagger and readied it to stab himself in the stomach. "If we meet in another life, allow me to perform an atsumori for you to witness."

*SCHCK*

Then flames burned brightly as the fire consumed the body of the warlord who would have conquered the entirety of Japan.

Rothus stared at the death of the man who took his own life rather than be killed. "So that is how Lord-"

"Lord Nobunaga!" screamed a voice that was not Nobunaga nor anyone, surprising the Master.

The redhead looked around with wide eyes but did not see who shouted, much to his confusion.

"Mitsuhide…"said the voice again, causing the former soldier to turn around and saw that there was a shadowed figure, as if made from the flames that still burned the temple. Then the flaming figure grabbed the katana of the late Nobunaga with a firm grip. "I swear… I will kill you… Even if it means that I will become a demon… I will avenge Lord Nobunaga!" roared the figure as it unsheathing the blade which burst into flames and a pillar of fire engulfed what remained of the temple along with Rothus.

"*GASP!*"

Rothus quickly opened his eyes and stared at the ceiling as the light of morning beamed in through the paper windows.

He felt the sweat on his face and muttered, "…Another strange dream."

"A man's life of 50 years under the Heavens is nothing compared to

the age of this world. Life is but a fleeting dream, an illusion -

Is there anything that comes to life and exists forever?"

-Translation of the Atsumori sung and danced by Oda Nobunaga

(Shikisai- Sakamoto Maaya)

Several pages fly through the air and gather into a book before being closed by a hand covered in silver armor and a black glove with a red mark that had the letter R.

"The Will of History, Record. What will fate bring him to as the curtain of the Grand Order rises?"

A close up view showed the featureless masked face of the hand's owner, Record. He turns around as the scenery is covered by a various amount of symbols along with seven cards which each depicts a different type of hero. Then the titles forms on the screen:

Kamen Rider Record: The Will and Grand Order

/Hitori ni naru to kikoeru no/ - /When I'm alone, I can hear the words/

Rothus is seen in a tube with several wires attached to his body with his eyes closed. Then he opens his eyes to find himself sitting in a battlefield filled with the corpses of several soldiers in mechanical armor, and he also wore similar armor. Noticeably some of the corpses have steel arrows pinning them to walls or in the ground. He stands up and soon the scene changes and twists before he stands in front of Archer in a city with gray clouds.

/kurushii nara yamete ii to/ - /"If it's painful, feel free to stop"/

The man smiles and turns away from the teen, causing Rothus to chase after him. Next, Rothus, in different clothing, which is a short-sleeved white shirt with baggy black pants, steps into a hall of Chaldea and he sees Yule give him a wave with his right hand. The redhead runs past the silver haired young man towards a different destination.

/Burakku hooru mitai ni fukaku/ - /Deep, almost like a black hole/

Then Yule turns around and follows the redhead until he passes a woman with long braided blond hair and a flag, catching his attention. The 48th Master potential turns around and the young woman known as Jeanne faces him with a smile. Noticeably, the two are standing on a castle wall riddled with arrows.

/kowakute miryokuteki na amai koe ga/ - /from a sweet voice, frightening and tempting./

Standing in a grass meadow where rain fell is Emu who holds a yellow cartridge belonging to a late friend. The medical intern transitions into the pink-armored Kamen Rider Ex-Aid who turns to the arrival of Rothus who continues running and passes him.

/Anata no kuchiguse wo manete/ - /I'll try mimicking the words you so often speak/

Ex-Aid turns around to follow the cyborg redhead, but then a blade covered in flames flew right at the pink Kamen Rider, forcing him to lean back as its edge moved above him. Ex-Aid rolls back and jumps onto a high brick block before taking out his Gashacon Breaker. Standing on the meadow is a young woman in a red dress who swings her flaming sword before readying herself to fight the Kamen Rider. Noticeably, she shares the same face as Saber, but she had a haughtier expression.

/nan demo nai to itte miru/ - /and say that it's nothing./

Rothus continues running and enters on the deck of a ship where it rocks a bit, putting him in a stumble but not stopping his pace. On the deck is Takeru who is staring at a sphere which is a dull grey before he transitions into Ghost. Then Olga Marie floats in near the Kamen Rider to point at the running redhead. The two try to greet him only that he ignores them and sprints past them. The two try to follow him only that they nearly run into a light pink-haired woman in a purple and red kimono.

/Sore ga uso demo kamawanai/ - /It doesn't matter if that's a lie/

The two turn around to look at the woman who smiles in response to their attention on her. Then another Kamen Rider Ghost shows up from behind the woman except he has red armor with a metal eye on the chest, jacket, and a flame-like mask. Alongside them was a man in Japanese samurai clothing with a long katana resting on his shoulder. Unnoticed, the sphere that Takeru was looking at earlier has its back change color into a scarlet red.

Rothus is now seen running through a green meadow at night, then he stops before Mashu who smiles towards him.

/tachitsudzukeru douki ni nareba/ - /if it gives me a motive to continue to stand…/

The pair turn to the side with as light shines upon the meadow. Then Saber joins them and draws her sword, Excalibur, at the ready. Then Yule shows up with Jeanne who is still holding the flag. She plants the flag into the ground and draws her sword, standing next to the Servants ready for battle. They charge down the slope as several people stand in their way.

Instrumental

With each beat, people in a variety of outfits and armors from different eras of the past stand before the three. Then Kamen Riders Ex-Aid, Ghost, and Den-O join in with their weapons raised.

/Watashi ga miteru mirai wa hitotsu dake/ - /There is only one future that I see./

As Rothus and Yule watch the fight unfold, several pages flew through the air. A page flies towards the fight between Saber and a blond haired man in golden armor who fights her with a bit of ease and agility. Then Archer appears and supports her before he deflects an arrow from a man with dark skin and wears a white suit.

/eien nado sukoshi mo hoshiku wa nai/ - /Eternity isn't something I want in the least./

Another page flies towards Saint Jeanne who clashes her sword with another young woman who shares her face but has a crueler demeanor. In another location with another page, Ex-Aid is seen fending off the girl who attacked him earlier with his hammer now in sword mode before he equips his red armor that grants him a robot arm and fires the fist at the red version of Saber. Meanwhile, Ghost is clashing with a knight in black armor who nearly overwhelms him until the woman in the kimono and the red Ghost protect and help him.

/Ichibyou isshun ga itooshii/ - /Every second, every moment is dear to me/

The pages fly back and now with illustrations of the Servants and Kamen Riders before, they gather into the Tome that materializes onto Rothus's right arm. Then the redhead is covered in pages before they transform into a white and black metal armor. He jumps forward to aid Mashu as his featureless dome helmet constructs over his head.

/anata ga iru sekai ni watashi mo ikiteru/ - /I, too, am living in the world where you are./

The armored soldier lands next to the Demi-Servant who blocks another attack. The Tome opens to materialize a golden and jeweled hilt that Rothus draws and swings out, creating a golden flash that engulfs the screen.

Instrumental

Then flashes of different scenes are shown starting with several shadowed people who appear on screen with a shared characteristic of blue and green eyes. One Silhouette had six arms with the left arms wielding an axe, thin-bladed sword, and a claymore-like sword.

Den-O is seen with Ryotaro and they face Souji in a white kimono with a blue jacket and black scarf who points her katana at them. Standing next to the woman is Nobunaga as she shoulders her rifle and smiles broadly.

Takeru is seen with Olga Marie in front of a stained glass window with the two Japanese swordsmen and the red Kamen Rider Ghost.

Saber and Archer walk past each other, not sparing a glance at each other.

The group of Kamen Riders, Rothus, and Mashu run on a stone bridge as a large golem smashes apart the bridge behind them before forcing them to jump off.

Rothus is seen sleeping in a meadow as four shadows tower over him. He wakes up and the shadows turn out to just be Mashu, Yule, Emu, and Takeru. They smile and help the redhead onto his feet. Then the group walks off and onwards, towards a sunny horizon.

Chapter 3-3: Other Order 1: The Fateful Sengoku Battle Part 3

On the outskirts of Kyoto…

A pair of horses stopped outside of the city, both carrying two men who appeared to be looking for someone in the city.

"There it is, Kyoto."

"It appears this Kyoto is similar to the one back in our realm, Milord." One man said while cupping his chin in observing thought. The man wore a brown jacket with black gauntlets and he carried two sword on left side of his belt.

"Yeah, but not as nice looking as ours. Oh well, the locals gave us the right direction, so you think we will find the Nobunaga of this world, Kojurou?"

"We can only assume, Milord."

"Ah well, no use musing now. ALL RIGHT! Let's go find this guy and kick his ass!" shouted the young man as he rode off with his companion following close behind.

"Milord, I thought the plan was that we are going to ask him what in the world is going on." Kojurou said as he followed the man he swore fealty to.

"Yeah. But it's more fun to smack the info out of him!" The man smiled eagerly as the sun shined on the crescent moon crest of his helmet.

At the temporary quarters of the Holy Grail Bomb Disposal Council,

Soon the redhead got up and dressed himself in his outfit. Then he walked out of the room before walking down the steps. Rothus rubbed his eye to get the sleepiness out of his head with the plan to head to the meeting room.

*Clop* *Clop* *CLOP* *CLOP**CLOP**CLOP**CLOP**CLOP**CLOP* *CLOPCLOPCLOPCLOPCLOPCLOPCLOPCLOPCLOPCLOPCLOPCLOPCLOPCLOPCLOP*

"Hm? What is that sound?" The former soldier turned to the doors of the entrance as the clacking sounds were getting louder and louder.

Soon the loud clacking/clopping sound awakened a couple of the Kamen Riders along with Nobunaga who sat up from her bed and looked to the window.

"What is making that racket?" muttered the warlord before she shrugged and laid back in bed to sleep more.

"Rothus! Get away from the entrance!"

"Huh? Father?" Rothus wondered how he heard the man without a communication line but ignored the thought in favor of understanding the situation. He held his hand to his headphone and asked, "What's the sitrep outside?"

Outside of the building earlier, Saber and Archer in their astral forms which hid them from the naked eye took notice at the sound as well. The two noticed a large dust trail that was heading for the building. Taking everything into account, Archer and Saber realized that someone was going to attack them. The Servant of the Bow quickly checked his charge and realized that he was close to the entrance.

"Something is coming our way! Get away from the entrance and brace for impact!" Archer responded.

"I'll go intercept it! Archer, provide support!" Saber announced before she materialized and jumped off the roof to stand in front of the building's entrance. She quickly wielded her invisible sword in front of herself.

Archer materialized and summoned his bow and drew a metal arrow at the ready.

As the horse approached, the red Servant took notice of the odd implements on mount such as a pair of bike handlebars in place of the reins and the saddle had a pair of a motorcycle's long exhaust piping.

"What in the world?"

Upon seeing the knight Date smirked in eagerness. "Well, well… Seems like we've got an interesting reception, Kojurou!"

"Indeed! I wish you luck, milord!" responded the retainer who readied to draw his sword.

"OKAY! LET'S ROCK!" shouted the samurai as he leaped off his mount and flew with an aura of blue lightning at Saber.

"Tch!" Archer quickly fired an arrow that flew at the flying samurai.

As the arrow flew, the samurai took notice of the red trailing projectile before quickly deflecting it out of the air with his drawn sword, but the arrow successfully forced him to stop his flight. The samurai landed a few yards from Saber who readied herself to fight him.

When the dust cleared, Date took a good look of the blond armored warrior in front of him. "Heh, is the Old coot so cowardly as to hide behind a foreign woman?"

Saber did not seem fazed by the taunt, instead, she gave an analytical eye on the appearance of the warrior before her. He wore a dark blue jacket with black, gold-edged armor plating underneath along with a matching set of dark grey gauntlets and greaves. On his head was a samurai helmet with a golden crescent moon and he wore and eyepatch over his right eye. The strange part was that he had six swords in his possession with the sheaths connected together into a form similar to dragon-fin wings.

"Six Swords?" Then she asked, "State your business here, samurai."

"Business? It's obvious that I'm here for one person. So just stand aside so that your lord and I can have a small 'talk'." The man said with an eager tone as he readied his sword.

Saber narrowed her eyes at the man who she could only assume to be a Servant due to his presence and responded, "I'm afraid that I cannot stand aside and let you rampage, samurai. If you wish to meet my Master, then you will have to go through me!"

"Saber, you do realize he meant-"

"I know, but he knows that he cannot pass without defeating either of us." Saber mentally responded to the Servant in Red.

The one-eyed man smirked and said, "Heh, I expect as much from a warrior under him."

"Saber, I have a clear shot. Allow me to end him quickly." Archer said with his bow ready to fire another shot at the samurai.

"Hold you fire, Archer! I believe this man may be a potential ally."

"Fine, but if he starts causing trouble, I'll-" Archer soon felt his instincts yelling him to dodge before he quickly jumped away. Then something smashed onto where he was standing before on the roof. Out from the debris cloud was the samurai's companion who had his sword ready in his left hand and stabbed forward. Archer quickly dismissed his bow and summoned twin blades that were the same pair that Rothus had in his room and used them to block his attacker's sword.

*CLANG* *SCREECH*

"My apologies, but I cannot let you interfere with the young Lord's battle." Kojurou stated with a firm tone.

"Tch!" Archer gritted as he traded blows with the man who suddenly interrupted him.

"Archer!" shouted Saber to her fellow Servant.

"Oi! Don't worry about your partner! My guy's keeping him a bit busy. Besides, it's time to fight, lady." The samurai said with an uncaring tone.

Saber turned to the man before she readied her sword stance. "Before we begin, I would like your name."

"Name? Heh, figures a Westerner like you does not know about me. The name's Date Masamune." The samurai introduced himself as he crossed his arms.

"The One-eyed Dragon of Oshu?" Saber stated his title out loud. Luckily the information from the Grail gave her enough to know who the samurai in front of her was, but it did not inform her of his capabilities.

"So you do know about me! Now tell me your name." Date said with an arrogant tone.

Saber gave a look around, but she did not sense any other Servants besides her allies. Then she decided to state her current name just in case. "Saber."

"Heh, quite the fancy name there, Saber. But enough talk… IT'S TIME TO PARTY!" shouted Date as an aura of blue lightning burst from his body and he charged at Saber.

"Mana burst?!" Saber widened her eyes before she summoned prana to also empower herself. Then she charged forward and the two clashed blades, creating a shockwave of clashing energies.

As the two clashed, Rothus could feel the shockwaves shake the building with a bit of dust falling from the ceiling.

Mashu quickly ran down the steps in a hurry while wearing her armor and wielding her shield. Fou sat on her shoulder with a narrow eyed look, possibly annoyed that its sleep was interrupted. "Sempai, what is going on?!"

"Two individuals have attacked the building, Mashu. Saber is currently engaging one at the front entrance while Father is fighting the other on the roof." Rothus reported as he heard the sounds of fighting taking place and shaking the building. "Are the council members awake?"

"No. I think some of them are still sleeping." Mashu said with a shake of her head since the battle outside woke her up from her sleepy stupor.

"OI! TELL THOSE IDIOTS OUTSIDE TO STOP MAKING THAT RACKET!" shouted Kiriya who sounded grumpy.

"Then we need to wake them up! The building will be breached at this rate!" shouted Rothus which Mashu nodded in agreement before they ran up the stairs to wake up the council members.

"YAAAHHH!" shouted Date as he swung down his sword while Saber weaved out of the way.

"HAAAH!" Then she stabbed her invisible blade forward which the one-eyed samurai quickly sidestepped out of the way and hit it away from him.

*CLANG*

Breaking contact, the samurai stepped back a bit to think of his next move. "Oi, oi, oi… Not very fair if you hide your sword, Saber." Date stated with an annoyed tone.

"Apologies, but I rather have you guess than know the identity of my weapon." Saber stated as she readied for another attack from Date.

"Hah? And how does knowing your weapon help me? Sounds like an excuse for you to be holding back on me!" shouted Date as he continued his assault.

Saber gritted her teeth and held her ground as she blocked the charging samurai's sword swing.

"If you're not going to go all out on me, then I'll just hafta force you!" shouted Date as he moved his left hand to grab the swords on his right hip. Then he pulled them out with a lightning-charged strike which Saber was forced to block with her left gauntlet, sending her back into the doors of the building.

*BAM* *CREEEAAAAAK*

"Gh! What strength…" Saber muttered as she did not expect the samurai to be this powerful.

"Oi! You're not getting away!" shouted Date as he ran forward with his swords pointed at Saber as energy enveloped his body. "MAGNUM STEP!"

"Tch!" Saber readied herself as she summoned more mana to empower herself as she blocked all three sword points with the broad side of her sword.

*CLANG*

The force of impact from the clash caused the building's doors to finally break and shatter.

*BOOM* *CRASH*

Meanwhile in another part of Kyoto, Souji, Ryotarou, Momotaros and Urataros were running back to base upon the sounds of an explosion taking place. Lagging behind them was Ryutaros riding on the back of Kintaros who carried the youngest imajin.

"Tch! Of all the times for an enemy to attack it had to be when we were out shopping for supplies!" shouted Souji as she quickly ran with the male members close behind.

"Damn it! This is some serious bad luck if we're not in the fight, right Ryotarou?" shouted Momotaros as he was following the female samurai close with Ryotarou following behind him.

"Yeah. I just hope Archer-san and Saber-san are able to hold their ground when we get there!" Ryotarou said with a worried tone for the two since they were left on guard duty.

"Ike! Ike! Kin-chan!" cheered Ryutaros who raised his hands.

"UUuuuooohhh!" roared Kintaros as he continues to chase after his comrades despite his lower speed.

Archer jumped back and looked down at the debris cloud where the entrance of the building was.

"Tch!" Archer grunted before he quickly turned back to blocking a strike from the samurai in the brown jacket. "What sort of business requires an attack from the One-eyed Dragon?"

"Answers!" Kojurou stated as he pushed Archer, forcing the white haired man to jump back. "My Lord and I ended up in this world, and we assumed that the Nobunaga of this world is responsible."

"Well you aren't wrong…" muttered Archer as he prepared another attack against the samurai.

*BANG!*

Then a shot blasted a hole through the roof between Archer and Kojurou.

"Nani?!" said Kojurou who was surprised at the sudden gunshot.

"Father! Cover your eyes!" mentally shouted Rothus as something was thrown up through the hole.

Within those few moments, Archer saw that it was a flashbang with its pin pulled. He quickly covered his eyes as the grenade went off with a bright flash, temporarily blinding the Samurai.

"Gh!" Kojurou cringed as he could not see anything due to the sudden flash and his ears rang from the small, close-range explosion.

*BAM*

Archer looked down and saw Rothus leaning out of an open window and waving to him.

"Father! Over here!" shouted the redhead as he waved. "Get back in the building!"

Archer nodded and quickly scaled off the roof and pulled himself into the building through the open window. He took notice that the Kamen Riders are awake and on alert with their transformation belts equipped. "Hmph, so the Council members are awake?"

"Yes! They were awakened by the sudden approach from the first attacker."

"I see…" Archer counted the members present but realized one of them was missing. "Wait, we're missing someone."

"Oh, Mister Kino volunteered to trade places with you in order to deal with the assailant above." Rothus responded.

"Before you ask, the guy felt like a good brawl could get the blood flowing." Kiriya added as he approached the Master and Servant.

Kojurou rubbed his eyes before his vision cleared to the sight of the man in red missing. "?! Where is he?"

*BOOM*

Then the roof was smashed open before an insectoid man landed in front of Kojurou with his compact red eyes flashing red for a moment.

"?! Who are you?!"

"Kamen Rider… Another Agito…" The Kamen Rider gripped his fist before he charged at the samurai who had to defend as the Rider's fist slammed into his sword. The impact sent him back, stripping a trail of tiles off the roof.

"Ugh… What power…" Kojurou thought before he was forced to block an attack from Another Agito who charged at him to strike him down with his axe kick. Then he shoved the kick off and readied his sword to stab Another Agito who twisted his body to dodge the blade.

"Seems as though the Kamen Riders are more than just men wearing fancy, rubber-looking suits." Archer commented with a sarcastic tone over the fighting taking place. Then he turned to Rothus who he noticed to have his case hanging on his lower back. "So what's the plan, kid?"

Then steps approached the pair. "Kino will keep that man busy. While I will have a little talk with the young rascal who interrupted our sleep." Rothus and Archer turned to Nobunaga who was dressed in her military outfit and Mashu who now wore her armor in preparation for battle.

"Lord Nobunaga, so Mashu was successful in waking you?" asked Rothus as the girl returned to his side.

"Iie (No). I was already awake, nothing wakes a warrior up than the sounds of battle." Nobunaga stated with an eager smile.

The redhead accepted that answer but looked a bit worried about how the warlord intended to talk to their attackers. "Okay. But Lord Nobunaga, how do you intend to-"

*BAM* *RUMBLE*

The building shook as the group struggled to keep on their feet.

Yoko quickly came in and said, "Nobunaga-san! Saber and the samurai have entered the building and are still fighting!" Then a sudden rumble took place that shook some members of the council into a stumble.

"They're going to bring down the building if they keep this up!" shouted Makoto with worry.

Downstairs, Saber and Date were clashing blades while dodging each other's attacks, destroying some walls that were in their way.

The blond knight quickly ducked under an overhead swing from Date who sliced apart a pillar that was behind her. Then Saber struck her invisible sword forward, forcing the blue samurai to jump back. She followed up with a charge in an arc to strike his side. Date quickly held his four swords to block the incoming strike, but Saber stomped her foot to stop herself for a moment. The samurai widened his eye as Saber summoned energy to charge her attack.

"OH S**T!" shouted Date in accented English.

"HAAAAH!" roared Saber as she attacked.

Then Saber swung with her entire body and struck her sword into the blocking stance, launching the one-eyed samurai through the walls of the building and outside.

*BAM* *CRASH*

"Hah… Hah…" Saber breathed out from the somewhat long battle.

"Saber! Are you all right?" shouted Rothus from upstairs and leaned on the railing to check on the knight.

"I'm fine, Master! I managed to incapacitate the attacker. Is everyone in the Council all right?" asked the knight as she turned to her Master who was upstairs.

"We're good! But we need to leave the building, now!" shouted Nobunaga as she and the Council members quickly ran out of the wrecked building. Yusuke carried Hina, Kiriya and Makoto carried the unconscious Gaim out with Kaito, and Yoko following close behind. Nobunaga waited a bit for the Chaldea members to enter the lower floor.

"What?" Saber looked around before she realized that the rooms were wrecked from her fight with Date and several support pillars were heavily damaged or destroyed.

"Saber! Miss Minato said that the building will be coming down at any moment! So we need to evacuate!" shouted Rothus as he, Mashu, and Archer ran down the stairs before running to the entrance. Though Rothus had to stop to put on his metal shoes.

"Sempai! Faster!" shouted Mashu with urgency as the building started creaking loudly.

"Just had to make sure my shoes are reattached to my feet." Rothus said as he tapped his re-armored mechanical feet on the ground before turning to Saber. "Okay. Saber!"

"Understood, Master!" Saber said as she prepared to leave-

*BAM*

The group turned to where Date landed and he walked out with a few specks of dirt on his uniform.

"All right, warm up's over!" Date said before he unsheathed his second set of swords with his right hand.

"What kind of sword style is that?!" shouted Archer at the ridiculous grip that the samurai was employing for the battle.

"My Dragon-claw sword style, red man. Now… You ready for Round 2, Saber?" asked the Samurai as he readied himself to fight.

"Che…" Saber grunted as she readied herself. "Master! You, Archer, and Mashu go on ah-"

*RUMBLE*

Suddenly the building started to rumble a bit as some of support pillars broke.

"Huh? What the-" Date looked around before a piece of lumber hit his helmet.

*BAM*

"Gah! Son of a-" Date grunted after a beam crashed on top of him.

"Date!" shouted Saber.

"Saber! We need to go, now!" shouted Archer as he grabbed her shoulder.

"But Archer, he isn't our true enemy! We need to help him!" Saber shouted after she shook off his hand and ran to the pinned Date.

"Tch!" Archer quickly joined his fellow Servant in helping the samurai despite the building already collapsing.

"Wait! Father!" shouted Rothus as he ran to follow the man.

*CREEEAAAKK*

"*Gasp* Sempai wait!" Mashu shouted and stopped the redhead by pulling his arm.

*BAM*

Then a wooden beam crashed in front of them, blocking the way into the building.

"No! Father! Saber!" shouted the redhead Master who reached out to the pair of Servants.

"We'll be fine, just get going, Rothus!" shouted Archer as he pulled off a broken beam with Saber.

"Sempai! We need to go!" urged Mashu as she pulled him away.

"But-!"

"They'll be fine! I'm sure of it!" shouted Mashu.

"…" Rothus turned to see that Archer was helping Saber get Date out of the beam despite the building collapsing around them. Then he and Mashu left the building as it continued to fall apart.

On the roof, Kojurou and Another Agito felt the rumbles shake their footing before the two quickly jumped off and landed near the entrance of the building.

"What caused the building to collapse?"

"Probably your lord and Saber…" Another Agito concluded.

"What?!" shouted Kojurou before he tried to enter the collapsing building. "Milord!"

"Hold it! You're going to die if you go in there!" shouted the dark green Kamen Rider as he held back the vassal from running into his doom.

"I don't care! I swore to serve at his side until the day I die!" shouted the retainer as he struggled against the armored man's grip.

"But you won't be of any help if you rush in there without a plan!" shouted Another Agito as he pulled Kojurou away from the collapsing building.

Watching from the side were Rothus and Mashu as they regrouped with the Council who also could only watch. "Father… Saber… How are you two going to get out?" asked Rothus with a worried tone as he and Mashu could only watch as the building further fell apart.

"There's nothing we can do but hope, Sempai." Mashu reassured Rothus who looked troubled at how he couldn't do anything to help.

The redhead closed his eyes and could not think of a solution despite his augments. "I know. But I want to help them…"

After helping Saber pull the wooden beam off of Date, Archer helped her carry the young lord's arms over their shoulders.

"Ugh… Nobody asked you two to save my ass, y'know." The young man said.

"Be glad that Saber wanted to help you, punk. So, do you have a plan for getting out of here, Saber?" asked Archer as he turned to Saber for a plan.

"Somewhat, Archer. Can you support Date?"

"Of course. Just do it quickly," Archer said as he quickly took on supporting the injured Date as Saber stood in front of them. Then he looked up as the creaking in the ceiling continued to increase. "We don't have a lot of time right now."

"Don't worry," Saber said as a burst of energy exploded from her body and she readied her invisible sword back to swing. "I'll clear the way so be ready to run. Invisible air…"

*CREAAAAK*

"Saber, anytime now!" shouted Archer with a loud tone over the loud rumbling and creaking.

*SNAP*

"SABER!" shouted Archer as the world around them slowed down with the ceiling nearly touching their heads.

"Clear my way forward… STRIKE AIR!" shouted Saber as she swung, creating a large wave of air that slammed through the debris midair and destroyed the fallen beams that blocked their way. As a result, her attack of air made a temporary wind tunnel big enough for the three to go through.

Outside, the group could only wait before the rumbling of the building and the loud creak was heard. Then the wooden structure began to fold into itself, causing alarms among the group as it was an obvious sign that the building was nearing full collapse.

"No…" muttered Mashu in horror at the collapsing building.

"They're not going to make it…" Makoto muttered with a troubled tone. Though he was not fully acquainted with Saber and Archer, he did not want to lose allies to something like this.

"No… They will." Nobunaga said with a confident tone.

*BOOM*

Then the debris that blocked the escape of the two Servant was destroyed by a large blast of wind.

"Kyaa!" screamed Hina as Yusuke protected her the air blast.

"What was that?!" shouted Kiriya as he lowered his arms from the sudden blast of air.

"…A shockwave?" Rothus wondered as he also lowered his arms.

"No… That felt like a blast of air." Kaito said aloud with narrowed eyes.

"Now Archer!" shouted the blond knight as she ran back to help Archer lift Date and the three ran to the cleared exit.

Archer quickly ran with the Servant of the Sword as he felt the air literally guide his steps.

"Come on… Come on…" muttered the Servant of the Bow as he lagged a bit behind with Saber due to carrying Date's body.

The falling ceiling was nearing their heads despite the wind tunnel was somewhat slowing it from crushing them.

"Heh, seems like you two need at little boost." Date said as the three were halfway there and his body was coated in electricity. "Now hold on tight!"

"What do you-"

"MAGNUM STEP!" shouted Date as he put all his strength into his foot and launched the three at a faster speed, clearing the entrance as the ceiling missed them.

*BAM*

*THUD*

*CRASH*

The three flew out of the entrance and crashed onto the ground, sliding near the group who managed to evacuate from the falling building.

"Phew. S**T. That was a close one…" Date let out a breath in relief as he say up.

"A bit too close…" muttered Archer. "You took that long just to help us?"

"Heh, give me a break, I'm still aching from the wooden beam hitting me." The young warlord said with an arrogant smirk.

"Father! Saber! You're both all right!" shouted Rothus as he ran to the three who were only scuffed up from the collapse.

"Milord! Are you all right?" asked Kojurou as he pulled his charge into a sitting position.

The lord with the blue jacket winced from the help his vassal gave him before making an arrogant smirk. "Gh… I'll live. Heh, seems like I owe you guys one." Date grunted as he sat up.

"If it's all right, we wish to know why you attacked us." Saber requested though she knew that the young lord would answer due to his calmer state.

"Information on why the hell we are here. One moment, I was going to have a little fight with my rival Yukimura, the next, Kojurou and I wake up in this very different Japan."

"Wait, did he just say that his rival was Yukimura?" Makoto noticed along with Nobunaga, Archer, and Saber.

"If he truly is Date Masamune… Then his rival should be Kanetsugu Naoe…" Archer thought before he concluded that this Date was not the Date of their world's history. "This must be what the old man meant by us meeting warriors from other worlds…"

"Not knowing what to do, we decided to follow on some rumors and some hearsay that old man Oda was still alive. So we decided to have a talk with the old man after kicking his ass for dragging us here." Date recalled as he crossed his arms.

"Well, sorry to disappoint you, brat, but I'm not exactly responsible for why you and your vassal were dragged into our world." Nobunaga said as she approached the two.

"What's that supposed to mean, woman?" Date rudely asked.

"Wait ojou-san (Miss), are you claiming to be the Nobunaga of this world?" asked Kojurou whose intuition was telling him that the woman before them was not ordinary.

"Yes and no, I also come from another world like you two, but I am Nobunaga and yes, I am dead." Nobunaga stated. "The reason I now walk the earth is to fix a mistake I made during my lifetime."

"So if you're the old coot, then mind explaining what the hell is going on here?" asked Date with a rude tone.

Nobunaga narrowed her eyes at Date's rude tone before letting it go in favor of getting the discussion underway. "…Very well. But it's up to you two if you trust my word."

Then Nobunaga explained everything about the Holy Grail bomb which now led up to their current circumstances.

After the explanation, both Date and Kojurou were stunned by her story before the young warlord yelled out a familiar English phrase, "What the s**t?! Are you being serious about the bomb!? Because that is way too stupid even for a Demon Lord!"

"Though destroying Japan doesn't seem far-fetched from the Nobunaga of our world…" muttered Kojurou with a nod. Previous conflicts involving the Oda Nobunaga of their world usually involved the warlord destroying anything and anyone in his path.

"It's still messed up! What the hell was going on in that head of yours that you would make a bomb big enough to wipe out our homeland and the world?!" yelled the young warlord.

"I was curious!" responded Nobunaga.

"Curious? Sounds more like you were going senile!" shouted Date.

"Um… Should we stop them?" asked Kiriya who only watched the argument take place.

"…I do not know." Kino said after he returned to his human form.

"The hell is that supposed to mean, you little punk?!" shouted Nobunaga as she stood up in annoyed anger.

"As much as I meant it, you old hag!" shouted Date as he butted heads with Nobunaga.

"It's best if we ignored them." Kaito said since this argument was going to continue with neither willing to listen to others.

"I with Kaito on this one." Yoko agreed.

"Nobunaga! We're here! Where's the-" shouted Souji as she arrived along with Ryotaro who tripped forward and the imajins. "Huh?"

"Hah! For a young one who is prone to fighting, you don't understand the beauty that is making bombs!" argued the young woman in the western military clothes.

"Beauty my ass! All bombs do is explode like any little firework!"

"You picking a fight, you little gaki(brat)?"

"I have been looking forward to a fight!" responded Date with a challenging tone.

"What that f**k?" said Momotaros in confusion at the argument between the two.

"My, this is quite the development." Urataros commented.

"Eh? Wasn't there a fight going on though?" Ryutaros wondered with a confused tone.

"Hm… Zzzzzzzzz..." Kintaros just went back to sleep while standing.

"Oi! Don't go nodding off!" shouted Momotaros.

"Ite…" groaned Ryotarou.

"Ah! Ryo-kun!" Souji yelped as she kneeled at his side.

While the fighting was going on, Rothus and the Chaldea members could not help but just watch the argument between two Sengoku warlords go on.

"Should we intervene?" asked Mashu.

"It's best not to, judging by how those two are close to punching each other's light out." Archer said.

"But we cannot let this continue since we still need to find that bomb."

As the Servants discussed what to do, Rothus gazed to the sky for an idea but suddenly widened his eyes at what he saw in the sky.

Then the redhead looked back to the arguing Date and Nobunaga and said, "Um, excuse me."

"Was hell not good enough for you that you decided to drag all of Japan into it?" pressed Date.

"Um, excuse me…" Rothus started again.

"Of course not! I was just going to dismantle the bomb after my campaign! I wouldn't leave behind a bomb that could destroy our Japan on my conscious!"

Rothus was silent for a bit while looking a bit annoyed that they were not listening to him. Suddenly a hand was placed on his shoulder, the redhead turned to the blue jacket wearing young man who identified himself as Makoto.

"Let me handle this." Makoto said before he shouted, "OI! IN CASE YOU TWO HAVEN'T NOTICED! EVERY SECOND WE WASTE HERE IS GOING TO DELAY WHATEVER EFFORT WE HAVE IN FINDING THE BOMB!"

The two warlords stopped arguing and turned to the suddenly shouting Makoto whose words manage to pierce the ridiculously escalating argument. Date and Nobunaga glared back at each other before silently agreeing to continue their argument later. "Tch."

"Thank you for the assistance, Mister Fukami."

"I was only speeding things up, Rothus. Now what were you going to say?" asked the young man wearing a blue leather jacket.

"Not really 'say'. I wanted to point everyone's attention to that." Rothus pointed to the sky and the group looked up to see a massive line that appeared to be a zipper.

A zoom from the town showed a massive zipper circle that appeared to encompass a majority of Japan.

"Yoko… is that what I think it is?" asked Kaito who stared at the familiar zipper circle in the sky.

"That is definitely a Crack, Kaito." The young woman said with a worried tone.

"Is that a Crack?! It's… MASSIVE!" shouted Momotaros as he wildly gestured at the size.

"Why did that suddenly appear though?" muttered Ryotarou.

"Oi… Oi… What's up with the zipper in the sky?" Date wondered.

"I do not know, milord. But it appears that this world also has its own set of problems…" Kojurou admitted.

"AH! THE GROUND!" screamed a voice before the group turned to the sight of the now-awakened Gaim who sat up in fright. "Wait… where am I?" Then the orange-themed samurai looked down and touched his body in several places before looking up. "Am I dead?"

Kaito walked up to the orange Samurai and kicked him in the head. "Are you done fooling around, Kazuraba?"

"Ite~ Eh?! Kaito?!" shouted the samurai before he turned to notice Yoko who also walked up to check on the unconscious Kamen Rider. "Minato-san?! You're both here?! Wait, does that mean I died from the fall?"

Kaito gave an unamused scoff before smacking his rival in the head with a fist. "Did that feel like you are dead, moron? Honestly, I thought you gained a few brain cells after ascending to godhood."

"OI! What does that mean, you loner?" shouted the Kamen Rider with an insulted tone.

"A lot, bakayaro (Stupid)." Kaito scoffed.

"Hah… So how are you still in the material plane, Kaito?" The kamen rider after crossing his legs and staring at his rival in the eye.

The members of Chaldea took notice at what the Kamen Rider said about the young man and his presence.

"…I do not know." Kaito said finally.

Everyone who was not well enough acquainted with the veteran Kamen Rider faltered a bit at his words.

"Well, we do know that we who were supposed to be dead are now alive in this time period." Yoko said.

"Time Period? What do you mean, Yoko-san?" asked the orange Kamen Rider as he turned to the young woman.

"Well… We appeared to be in the Sengoku era but how… It's hard to explain." The young woman admitted considering the circumstances of how she, Kaito, and the others ended up in the Sengoku Period were a mystery.

"Let me take over on why you are all here, Minato-san." Mashu said.

"Oh, that's right, you all who are from Chaldea know more about what is going. Very well."

"Of course. Before I begin, my name is Mashu Kyrielite. And you are…"

"Kazuraba Kouta, Kamen Rider Gaim." The samurai Kamen Rider stood up and introduced himself to the girl.

"Right, Kazuraba-san, do you know about the Holy Grail?" asked Mashu.

"Holy Grail? Oh, you mean the cup that was used to hold Christ's blood or something?" answered Gaim with his limited knowledge about the artifact.

"Well, accurate but no. The Holy Grail I am talking about is a Magical Artifact that has the power to grant wishes." Mashu said.

From behind, Rothus's book opened up to summon a page and reveal an image of a golden Chalice.

"Wishes huh? Sounds like something that's going to cause trouble just by its presence." Gaim stated with a disapproving voice.

"Well, it's presence has caused the Singularity you all are in. And the summoning of several Servants." Then Rothus's tome summoned seven pages that depicted a knight with a sword, a woman with a bow, a man in light armor with a lance, an armored warrior commanding a chariot, a skull-masked man with knives, a robed wizard, and a beast man with a large sword.

"Singularity? Servants?" repeated Gaim in a questioning tone.

"A Singularity is an unobservable region that does not exist within Chaldea's recorded history. It's as if a hole has opened up within the timeline and is separate from the regular temporal axis." Mashu stated.

"So an anomaly that is not included in mankind's history…" concluded Ryotarou.

"Correct, but the large number of Singularities we have identified is a problem because it would result in the destabilization of Humanity's future."

"Destabilization? Like that fire that incinerated the world on 2016?" Gaim recalled what happened before he was pulled from the battle area and found himself falling into the Sengoku Period.

"So that is the reason…" muttered Ryotarou about the reason why their present was annihilated.

"So they were also there with Takeru and Emu…" Mashu thought immediately to the mention of the event that destroyed the future. "Yes. Chaldea's goal is to reestablish Humanity's future by eliminating the Singularities." Mashu stated what the goal of Chaldea is.

"…All right, so how do we find the cause?" asked Gaim.

"By locating the Holy Grail and retrieving it." Mashu responded.

"Yeah, but the problem is that I turned it into a bomb." Nobunaga added in to reveal why finding the Holy Grail was not easy.

Gaim turned to Nobunaga but he did not know her due to a lack of introductions.

"And you are?"

Nobunaga chuckled before smiling with pride. "I am the Demon King of a Sixth Heaven, Oda Nobunaga."

"Oda Nobunaga? Wait, I'm pretty sure Nobunaga is a male warlord during the Sengoku period." Gaim noted in confusion. "I mean I don't exactly pay attention to history but-"

"She's from a different world, Kazuraba-san." Yoko cleared the facts to Gaim.

"Different world?"

"Yes, apparently different worlds have also been dragged into our world's conflict." Mashu stated.

"I see." Gaim nodded before the bomb detail that Nobunaga mentioned sunk in. "Wait, did you say that you turned a wish granting artifact into a bomb?! We need to hurry and find it!"

"Oh don't worry about it, the bomb will only activate when it gathers enough mana after six Heroic Spirits have been defeated." Nobunaga waved off.

"What do you mean?"

"Ah right, we have not truly explained the meaning of why the Servants are summoned. Servants or Heroic Spirits are heroes of the past summoned by the Grail from the Throne of Heroes to fight for the Grail. The Holy Grail will be able to grant one wish after six of seven Servants are defeated and it absorbs their mana." Mashu explained as several pages of the Servant pictures flew back to Rothus's tome except the picture of the knight with the sword.

"In other words, a free-for-all death match for an all-powerful artifact that can grant wishes…" muttered Gaim who turned to those he knew.

"Hmph, no matter how the world turns, there is always something that people will trample over each other to obtain…" Kaito said with a disgusted tone.

"Indeed." Yoko said with a shake of her head.

"What does Mister Kumon mean by that?" asked Rothus upon hearing the disapproval of the three acquainted Kamen Riders.

"Don't worry about it," Gaim waved off before getting back on topic of the conversation. "So we just have to protect these Servants so that the bomb will not activate, right?"

"We already have me and the hitman. So we don't need to worry about the bomb going off." Nobunaga stated. "But… Three Servants have already been cut down."

"How can you tell?" asked Gaim.

"As Servants, we can sense the presences of Servants summoned by the Grail, based on how close they are." Souji said truthfully. "We can even sense when one of them is defeated."

"And you're sure that three of them were defeated in battle?" asked Archer.

"Yes." Nobunaga said with a nod before she turned to Yoko. "Minato, I forgot to ask you if you made any progress on who killed Assassin."

"Ah yes, from what I gather from my scouting mission… It's the same culprit, a Kamen Rider." Minato stated with a worried tone.

"Same person?" pressed Kino.

"Yes. Same description, as well. A samurai with red armor and a strange belt."

"Could this Kamen Rider have something to do with that massive Zipper Portal in the sky?" wondered Makoto.

"I hope not."

"Me neither, but if this Kamen Rider is responsible then he must have a connection to the Helheim Forest." Gaim said with a worried tone. "The Helheim Forest's invasion on Earth nearly resulted in the Earth's destruction the first time. If it happens again in this era, there is no doubt that the time period will be doomed."

"The Helheim Forest? What sort of forest is that?" asked Rothus as he turned to Gaim for answers.

"It's an invasive forest that devours worlds with its vegetation. The fruits from the trees are not safe for humans to consume due to how drastically different they are from our fruits." Gaim stated with the sad memories of the result of when a human had eaten the forbidden fruit.

"How unsafe?" asked Archer with a neutral tone but he narrowed his eyes upon recognizing the tone of regret in Gaim's voice.

"…If a human eats a Helheim Fruit, they become a creature of the Forest, an Inves." Gaim said with a blunt tone.

"…Wait, are you saying that they become those strange humanoids?" asked Rothus upon remembering the monsters he and Mashu fought yesterday.

"So you encountered them… And yes, the transformation is irreversible with the likely chance that the former human will lose their human self to the Helheim's Forest's influence." Gaim stated with a grave tone.

"Oi, I don't exactly have a clear idea what's going on, but we just need to protect the old hag and the sick girl, find this bomb, destroy it, and we go back to our homes, right?" summarized Date who somewhat understood that finding this bomb was still the same objective with added job of protecting the warlord and the sick young woman who just arrived.

"Just about, yes. Our secondary objective is convincing the warlords who have heard of the Holy Grail to stop seeking it." Nobunaga answered to the young lord.

"As well as find this Kamen Rider before he causes more damage." Souji added.

"Hmph, I don't see that happening with convincing the other lords, but I'm here to help out if it means getting back home. You don't mind that, Kojurou?"

"I am prepared to follow you wherever you go, milord." The vassal said with a determined tone.

"Good. Anything else do we need to do before we set off?"

"Well…" Nobunaga turned to look at the wreckage of the Council's base of operations. "We will have to make our move now considering the fact you and Saber demolished our base of operations."

"My apologies on milord's part, we were only wishing to search for answers." Kojurou bowed to the group in place of his prideful Lord.

"From how you two attacked us a moment ago, I would say you both wanted to beat us senseless before asking us questions." Archer stated with a sarcastic and disparaging tone.

"Tch, you have quite the mouth, Red Man." Date said as he was covered in a lightning aura.

Then Kojurou held his arm out in front of Date. "My lord, now is not the time for conflict."

"Tch, fine." The blue samurai said before his aura of lightning dispersed. "I got my eye on you, Red Man." Date said as he pointed at Archer.

"Hmph, I should be saying the same thing." Archer said back as he moved his arm in preparation for a swinging motion.

"Father," Rothus grabbed Archer's arm and shook his head. "There's no need to antagonize Mister Masamune. If he wants to help, we should let him."

The white haired man stared at his charge for a few second before closing his eyes and relenting. "Very well, but be sure to sleep with one eye open, got it?" advised the Servant of the Bow as he walked away.

"Understood." Rothus nodded.

"And I do not mean literally sleep with an eye open!" shouted Archer.

"…I never thought I would meet another you, Kaito." Gaim whispered to his rival who looked back at him with a disapproving face.

"And what is that supposed to mean, Kazuraba?" Kaito pressed with a glare.

"All right! First order of business! Let's salvage what we can use for this trip!" ordered Nobunaga as she led the willing council members to clean up the destroyed house in order to find the supplies they stockpiled for the trip to the first known location of the Holy Grail.

Gaim, Rothus, Mashu, and Saber quickly followed behind to find any items that could be of use. Kojurou and Date also decided to help out as a way to make up for being responsible for the attack.

"Do you all at least have the location of where this Grail may be?" asked Kojurou to some the group members as he helped pull out a piece of lumber.

"Yes, Honnouji Temple." Archer answered as he still stood near the two samurai from Oshu.

"That place, huh? Pretty sure that's the place where that bastard Mitsuhide tried to screw Old Man over." Date recalled.

"Wait, so the Nobunaga of your world did not perish at Honnouji?" asked Saber.

"No, the old bastard simply used that temple to lure most of his enemies to be taken down in one fell swoop. My rival, Yukimura, and I managed to escape his trap and we confronted him at his castle in Kyoto. There, we defeated him." Date stated with crossed arms. "So what was different about you guys?"

"Historically, Oda Nobunaga was supposed to perish at Honnouji Temple. Even the Nobunaga we have met here also died the same fate." Makoto stated.

"Huh, that's kind of interesting. Ah well, no need to worry about the past when we have idiots to beat up." Date shrugged off about the past.

"Doesn't that make you an idiot for deciding that attacking our base would get you answers?" Archer pointed out with a sarcastic tone.

"Oi! You looking for a fight, Red Man?" shouted Date who was ready to fight the man by getting in position to unsheathe his sword. But then he felt nothing and looked down to notice that none of his swords weren't in their sheaths.

"Milord, I recommend you retrieve your swords before attempting any combat." Kojurou advised upon noticing earlier that Date was missing his sword.

"S**t! I must have dropped them when that ceiling beam hit me!" Date ran to another part of the wreckage to find his missing swords.

"…Is your Lord the type who does not think beyond fighting?"

"No, Milord is a good strategist, the problem is that he prefers head-on fights with a reckless approach." Kojurou confessed to the man since he felt mincing words would not be productive.

"That would explain why he just charged right at us in broad daylight." Archer deadpanned. "You do know he's going to get himself killed if he doesn't come up with tactics that bring a suitable victory, correct?"

"That is true, but milord is the kind of man who puts his subordinates' sake before himself. I would gladly lay down my life for him be because of that, no matter what."

"…Don't go writing your life off too quickly. If you die, your lord will be saddened." Archer stated before he walked off to move the wreckage.

"Hmph, I know." The vassal said with closed eyes.

"Oi! Kojurou! I found my swords!" shouted Date as he approached his vassal with all six blades in their sheaths.

After scrounging through the wreckage, the group managed to gather the supplies that were intact along with what Souji and her group bought during their shopping trip.

"Okay that should be everything." Makoto said as he and Kino placed the last barrel of rice.

"It seems most of our stored foods were spared from the collapse." Yoko said while sitting on a covered pot.

"Minato-san, get off the pot."

"Oi Kazuraba, why aren't you dismissing your armor?" asked Kaito who noticed the Orange samurai still had his armor on.

"Actually, I can't seem to dismiss my Kamen Rider Armor. See?" Gaim moved to close the lid of the orange lock on his belt but it refused to budge.

Kaito and Yoko looked at orange samurai's attempts to cancel his armor with confused expressions. "That's strange, your Lockseeds should be in good condition compared to ours."

"This better not be an omen." Kaito muttered with a stern tone.

"Oi! You can't saying that type of crap, Banana man!" shouted Momotaros.

"Baron Da, oni!" shouted Kaito with an annoyed tone at the name the older Kamen Rider gave him.

"Oni ja nai!" The red Imajin yelled back indignantly.

"All right, all right, no need to fight, you two." Ryotarou said as he got in between the two reds who looked ready to fight.

Rothus stared at the group with a bit of confusion before looking around at the civilians who either walked by or observed the group who were scavenging from the wreckage. Then he turned his attention to the massive zipper in the sky.

"Sempai? What's wrong?"

"Oh, Mashu." Rothus looked down and turned to the girl. "I was… Just looking at the sky. That zipper is truly an out of place detail, yet no one seems to notice."

"Indeed, maybe it's only visible to those who are magic aligned or expose to supernatural elements. I just hope that it doesn't open."

As the two talked, a small shadow approached the wreckage, hiding behind the piles that were cleared by the group.

"*Mischievous Laugh* Seems like a big score!"

"Let's take the goods while they don't see us." Another voice said with a scheming smile.

As the voices talked, Rothus snapped to their direction with an alarmed look and drew his gun and fired at a pile of wreckage where the two voices were hiding. Upon impact, the shot blasted some of the debris apart into splinters.

Everyone stopped talking and turned to the redhead's sudden action of shooting the pile of debris.

"Sempai?! Why are you-"

"Enemies have trespassed." The cyborg Master muttered as he narrowed his eyes and prepared to fire again. "Beginning eliminat-"

"Matte!" shouted a young voice before Hina jumped and grabbed the redhead's leg, but he did not budge.

Rothus turned his head to the girl who just hanged from his leg. "You're…"

"Stop! It just my nakama(Friends)!" begged the gril.

The redhead blinked at her words and repeated her last word, "Nakama?"

The group turned to the pile and scrambling out from there were two young kids who were around Hina's age. Both kids were scared out of their minds at the red-hair's sudden shooting.

"Hai! They're-"'

"Hey, is it me? Or is that giant zipper in the sky moving?" asked Date as he held his hand above his eye to get a better view of the zipper.

*ZZZZIIIIIIIIPPPPP*

The loud zipping sound echoed through the air, drawing the attention of everyone present.

"…!" Rothus widened his eyes and saw that the zipper was slowly being open by a matching size zipper slider. From the opening of the zipper, a massive number of the monsters identified as Inves fell through, all falling from the Crack to completely cover the sky.

"What?! The Crack! It's opening! DAMN IT BANANA MAN! YOU JINXED US!" Momotaros blamed Kaito for their current situation.

"BARON DA!"

"…*Sigh* Now's not the time for infighting." Archer commented while mentally cursing his E-Rank luck alongside Rothus's horrendous –EX-Rank Luck.

Back in Chaldea, Yule was stretching a bit for some exercise in the intact fitness room before he felt a shiver down his spine.

"Master? What's the matter?" asked Jeanne who noticed the white haired young man pale for a moment.

"*Sigh* I want to say it's nothing, but… I think that Aka just got into more trouble." Yule muttered, wishing luck to whoever was dragged into the redhead's bad luck.

The group stared in the skies horrified and worried at the massive amount of monsters that have already been summoned through a part of the Crack. The amount was enough to blanket the sky and flood all of Kyoto.

"Oh no…" muttered Ryotarou in horror.

"So… So many monsters…" Souji said with wide eyes.

"Why?! Why is the Crack opening now?!" shouted Makoto.

"This isn't good." Saber muttered.

"Understatement of the day, Saber." Archer said before he turned to Rothus who was also shocked at the large amount of monsters. "Rothus, focus. Now is not the time to be shocked by this. You and I both know we have faced similar odds."

The redhead snapped out of his shock and turned to Archer with a bit of worry, "Yes, but the amount of hostiles is quite immense. And I am worried that I do not have enough bullets." He raised his gun and stared at it while a holographic bullet counter of 150 listed next to it.

"That isn't something you need to worry about, Master. I will protect you." Mashu stated as she transformed into her Servant form with her Shield in hand.

"I too shall protect you, Master. So you should not need to put yourself in danger." Saber stated as she readied herself for battle.

"And you do recall that Da Vinci stored your HF sword into the case?" Archer pointed out with his index finger pointing straight at the white case.

"Ah right!" Rothus recalled before remembering he did not read the manual. "Wait, how do I summon the sword?"

While the Chaldea group readied for battle alongside the Council, Gaim looked down to think for a bit, "Could it be… That the one who created it has begun to act?"

After Gaim's thoughts on the perpetrator were said aloud, Yusuke shouted at a loud volume that surprised everyone. "NOW IS NOT THE TIME TO WORRY ABOUT ANY OF THAT!"

"Yu-nii?" asked Hina as she and her friends were gathered and told to hide behind the Imajin.

"If those Inves land in Kyoto, it will be disastrous!" shouted Yusuke as he entered a stance with his eyes narrowed in determination. "I WILL NOT LET ANY MORE SMILES BE TAKEN AWAY BY THE KAIJIN!"

Rothus's Tome reacted to the Rider's determination and shined a bit, which the redhead did not notice similar to how he did not notice it react to Ghost's declaration before his sudden increase in power.

Then a large amount of heat generated from his body as his mind boiled at the thought of others' sadness. The heat managed to raise the temperature in the area the group were in with the Servants feeling the pressure that they did not feel earlier from the young man.

"WHOA! That is some serious heat!" shouted Date.

"What is this pressure?! Is it all coming from just Godai?" Saber mentally wondered as she felt her body sweat a bit from the rising temperature caused by Yusuke.

"What sort of Kamen Rider is he?" wondered Mashu as she also sweated a bit.

From Rothus, a page flew out of his tome and floated near Yusuke, unaffected by the amount of heat he was generating.

"Haaahhhhhh…" Yusuke let out a breath as he held his hands to his waist, causing a large belt buckle with gold accent and a red jewel center to form. He grabbed the buckle and golden electricity traveled into his hands. Next, he placed his left fist on top of the button over his left hip. At the same time, he held his right hand forward, moved it to the right causing it to glow gold, and he loudly shouted, "HENSHIN!" Then the brunette slammed his left fist with his right hand on the hip button which summoned an armor that formed over his body, piece by piece with crackling gold energy. The color of the armor over the young man was black with gold accents and two gold shin plates. His helmet took form with a gold horn crest with red compound eyes that lit brightly.

"He already became Amazing Mighty Kuuga?!" Kino reacted with mild surprise at the now identified Kuuga's transformation.

"Amazing Mighty? Isn't that a bit redundant?" asked Mashu with a raised eyebrow in confusion.

"It's a stupid name, but that does not discount the power of that form." Kaito stated with a bit of sweat. "But the problem is that power!"

"What do you-" Saber asked before she was interrupted by-

"GAIM! Give me a boost!" shouted Amazing Mighty Kuuga as he rushed at the orange samurai.

"Eh!? W-Wait a moment, sempai!" shouted Gaim while waving his arms in front of the black charging beetle. Then he reacted quick enough to move the blade on his buckle and slice the fruit lock three times.

"SOIYA! ORANGE SPARKING!"

Gaim drew his orange slice shaped katana which lit up with an orange aura and held the flat edge up while also bracing himself for Kuuga's weight.

Kuuga jumped onto the charged sword and crouched to prepare for launch.

Gaim lifted the sword with both arms and swung as hard as he can towards the Inves-filled sky. "HAH! SEIHAH!"

Upon the climax point of the swing, Kuuga jumped forward and allowed the explosive force of the charged attack to propel him high in the sky. His body soon glowed with a golden electricity that made him glow and become akin to a gold beam of light.

Sensing the large amount of energy from the older Kamen Rider, Gaim turned around to warn the group about what was going to happen. "EVERYONE! COVER YOUR EARS AND BRACE FOR IMPACT!" Then the Orange samurai quickly covered the sides of his helmet and crouched.

The Kamen Riders present quickly copied his actions before the Servants and Master quickly followed.

"What do you mean by brace for impact?!" Mashu questioned Gaim why they had to brace for whatever was coming.

"You're about to witness the power of the First Kamen Rider to start the Heisei Generation!" answered Gaim.

"The First?" repeated Rothus who still did not noticed that his Tome was still glowing.

"ORYAAH!" roared Kuuga as he flipped his feet forward and kicked into the first Inves that came close to him. On impact, a large crest imprinted on its body, creating a large amount of golden energy which traveled into the monsters close to it. Then the Inves exploded into a massive fireball that expanded until it engulfed hundreds to thousands of the monsters in the sky.

*BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMM*

Everyone braced for the deafening shockwave of the massive explosion that wiped out the thousands of Inves in the sky. The force of the wave shook nearby buildings, tore paper windows, and some residents close by were knocked off their feet.

The Imajin grouped together to protect the kids from the explosion as they screamed in fear and awe.

When the explosion died down, the group looked up to the sight of a massive hole in the mass of monsters that let the noon sun shine through.

"W-Whoa…" muttered Kiriya with wide eyes, shaking a bit from the explosion.

"What power…" Saber said in response to witnessing the power that Yusuke had.

"Somehow, I think it's a good thing he's on our side." Archer said with stunned tone as a kick from that Kamen Rider could be devastating to a Servant.

"Though… That was way too powerful for Yusuke's usual kick." Nobunaga noted while cupped her chin.

"Huh? What do you mean, Nobunaga-san?" asked Mashu as she turned to Nobunaga.

"She's right. Normally his Rider Kick would annihilate an entire city block." Gaim stated. "Which may had been a good thing that he decided to attack them in the skies."

"*Laughs* It can't be helped since he's just that powerful! Nice Yusuke!" cheered Nobunaga.

Rothus nodded in agreement before noticing one detail. "Um, Lord Nobunaga?"

"Yeah, Kuma?"

"Did Mister Godai think of a landing strategy?" asked the redhead as he located the black armored Kamen Rider who was now falling and seemed to be flailing his limbs.

"Huh… I don't think so. Ah well, he'll figure something out." The former warlord said with shrug.

Rothus turned to the warlord in silence before turning back to the falling Kuuga who still fell from the sky with a doubtful expression.

Then a hand was placed on his shoulder and the teen turned to Kiriya who smiled. "Hey, don't worry about him, kid. Yusuke-sempai's survived worse than a fall."

"I'll go help him, and we'll take care of the flying ones." Gaim said before taking out a lock with a yellow dandelion on the cover and labeled L.V.-0.3. He clicked the lock open and threw it in the air, allowing it to transform into a hover bike. The orange samurai got onto the hoverbike and flew off to grab the falling Kuuga.

"He has a hoverbike?" Mashu commented with wide eyes.

"That… isn't logically possible." Rothus added with a stunned tone.

"*Chuckle* Don't sweat about it, kid. So what's the game plan, boss lady?" asked Kiriya as he turned to said warlord.

"Simple!" Nobunaga answered with an eager smile.

*CLICK-CLICK*

"Let's take care of the stragglers falling from the skies!" shouted the Demon Archer as she summoned her guns and fired at the monsters falling from the sky.

"Understood! Father, your bow!" Rothus commanded Archer who summoned his bow and metal arrow.

"Already on it, kid." Archer said as he aimed and the arrow thinned, and then he released the arrow into the skies. The arrow transformed into a red light that split into several streams of red that slammed into several Inves each shot made contact with.

"Kaito!" Yoko quickly equipped a red belt buckle with a slot over a container connected to a lever. Then she took out a lock with a peach on the cover labeled: E.L.S.-03.

"Un." Kaito also took out a similar red buckle and placed it on his abdomen, causing a black belt to wrap around his waist. Then he took out a lock with a lemon on the cover labeled: E.L.S.-01. "Henshin."

"LEMON ENERGY!" Upon announcement, a small zipper Crack that had the diameter of a grown man's shoulder opened to reveal a metal lemon lower near the young man's head.

"Henshin." Yoko said as she flipped the switch on her Peach Lock.

"PEACH ENERGY!" Upon announcement, a small zipper Crack also opened to reveal a metal peach lower near the young woman's head.

"Oi. Oi. Don't forget about me!" Kiriya said as he took out two Gashats which were his personal yellow cartridge and black upgrade cartridge.

"BAKUSOU BIKE!"

"GIRI-GIRI CHAMBARA!" Upon activation, a small robot with a dragon mask was summoned.

"Third Gear Henshin." The man with the Hawaiian shirt announced.

Kaito and Yoko placed the fruit locks onto the slots of their belts and locked them in.

"LOCK! ON!"

"A GATCHA! LEVEL UP!" At the same time, Kiriya slotted his game cartridges into his belt and quickly pulled the handle cover.

"BAKUSOU BIKE~! GIRI-GIRI CHAMBARA!" He quickly transformed into his motorcycle form which mechanically shifted along with the mini robot which split apart to form limbs.

"SODA!"

"I will join as well!" shouted Makoto as he took out an eyeball-shaped orb similar to Takeru's and the same coffin buckle formed on his waist.

*CLICK*

At the same time of activating his personal Eyecon, Makoto opened the buckle and then he dropped the Eyecon into the opening, letting it to slot in with ease. Then he closed the cover and an announcement sounded off along with a blue Parka Ghost appearing out of the buckle.

"EYE! BATCHIRIMIRO!" The belt announced in a tough tone.

"Henshin!" announced the young man as he pulled the lever of his belt to summon an armor over his body.

"KAIGAN: SPECTER! READY, GO! KAKUGO! DOKI DOKI GHOST!" The blue Parka flew onto Makoto and a mask appeared onto his helmet. The blue mask illustration was a face that appeared to be enraged. Then Kamen Rider Specter pulled down the hood of his parka.

From Specter's belt buckle, a large blue rifle with an orange slider and a hand on it took form and he grabbed it. "GAN GUN HAND!"

"Open fire!" ordered Baron as he aimed his bow and fired rapidly into the skies with his fellow Kamen Riders.

"Hey, hey! I want to join in! Ryotarou~!" announced Ryutaros who wanted to join in the gunfire.

"Hai! Ryutaros!"

"Oi! Wait a minute, gaki (brat)!" shouted Momotaros but Ryotarou already let the purple imajin possess him after strapping on his belt.

The possessed Ryotarou gained a tanned hat, purple headphones, and a purple bang. He pressed the purple button which was the lowest one on the belt buckle which sounded off an upbeat ring with the symbol scanner turning purple. "Yay! Henshin!" R-Ryotarou announced as he swiped his Denliner Pass over the scanner.

"GUN FORM."

Then the Plat armor was summoned over R-Ryotarou's body and the four armor pieces that were used for Sword form changed positions and attached onto Den-O, creating a purple armor with a dragon them. Then a dragon moved down on Den-O helmet before shifting into a dragon mask which had purple lenses and gold horns.

Den-O spun his body around and pointed at the monsters that were still falling despite the large amount of gunfire and said, "Mind if I defeat you? I can't hear your answer!" Then he quickly assembled the four weapon pieces on his belt to form a gun and wildly fired into the mass of monsters.

"OI! I'm supposed to be the one to start off!" complained Momotaros. "And I'm not complaining, you punk!"

"Sempai, you already possessed Ryotarou yesterday. Let me and Kin have a turn."

"Tch, fine. Let's just get ready because all of that gunfire won't be able to hold them off for much longer."

"Indeed, let us make them cry!" proclaimed Kintaros as he summoned a massive ax into his hands.

The shots fired from the Kamen Riders' bows and guns along with the Servants were cutting through the numbers of Inves that fell, but their shooting was not enough to stop large amounts of monster from landing outside of Kyoto.

"Everyone! Prepare yourselves! The enemy has landed!" shouted Saber which riled the members with her to transform or armed their weapons.

"We can see that!" shouted Momotaros as he readied his large flame-shaped sword.

Kino crossed his arms in an X over his waist as a green formed along with a silver belt with a red gem that appeared to be similar to an eye. "Henshin!"

"Heh, Bug Man made quite the tough act to follow. I never had to fight monsters like these before, but this will be fun!" shouted Date with an eager smile.

"Be sure to take caution, milord."

"Yeah. Yeah." The lord as he cracked his neck. "ALL RIGHT! LET'S PARTY!" shouted Date as he unsheathed his sword, pointed it at the enemy, and summoned his lightning aura before charging at the enemy and sending several of them flying.

Kojurou quickly followed his lord's lead with his unsheathed sword in his left hand and slashed his way through the monsters.

"Ikuze! Ikuze!" shouted Momotaros as he also charged at the large number of monsters.

"Haa… Why must sempai always be so reckless?" Urataros shook his head in befuddlement despite questioning the older Imajin's behavior on several occasions.

"It wouldn't be Momonga if he didn't charge at the enemy first." Kintaros responded to the blue Imajin's question.

"Hai, hai. Let us go reel him back before he nearly gets himself killed again." Urataros summoned a staff weapon with hexagon blunt heads and he charged forward.

"Yosh! Let us make our foes cry!" shouted Kintaros and followed his brother with his massive ax ready.

"They're quite casual despite the large number of hostile coming our way…" Mashu commented.

"It's part of the job as a Kamen Rider. We and our predecessors have fought literal armies just to protect mankind." Another Agito stated as he readied himself.

"Just be careful, all right?" Souji advised as she readied her katana.

Rothus held his left hand back to the Chaldea deployment case on his lower back while mentally selecting which item he wanted out.

"Command: Deploy HF Sword." Rothus stated and the case responded.

"ACKNOWLEDGED." The case slid open and a hilt slid out. Upon touching the handle, Rothus pulled out a silver edge sword with a broad blade, a layer of shock absorbing material, and a blocky black hilt with what appeared to be a cross-like arrow in the center.

"Mashu, Saber, allow me to help, all right?"

"Very well, Master. But remember to stay close to us. The enemy is vast in numbers." Mashu advised.

"Understood."

"Good."

"Enough talk! We attack now!" shouted Saber as she ran forward with Mashu and Rothus following close behind.

The blond knight struck first and cut through several Inves in her way, sending some flying into their compatriots.

Rothus swung the sword and struck an Inves, creating sparks and a large mortal wound in the kaijin. Then he swung at another Inves, and this time he cleaved it in two.

"What is that sword? It cut through those monsters with ease!"

"It's due to the HF function of his sword." Archer telepathically informed Saber while shooting through the thousands of flying Inves in their way.

"HF?" asked Saber as she ducked and cleaved through three Inves that got in her way.

"HF stands for High-Frequency, the sword vibrates so quickly that the sword's edge cuts through the particle bonds of anything it touches. But the kid has to find the right frequency, otherwise the blade will just leave sparks or bounce off the enemy's hide. Magic weapons might survive the High-Frequency edge though." Archer explained telepathically to Saber as he continued his onslaught of arrows against the flying Inves. "If we're done, watch out from behind you, Saber."

Upon Archer's warning, an Inves crept up from behind Saber before she quickly spun around and cleaved the mook monster apart. At the same time, Rothus aimed his gun and fired at a flying Inves, sending it falling after it was shot.

*BANG*

"Mashu!" Rothus signaled and Mashu charged right at the falling Kaijin and rammed it with her shield and into a group of Inves in front of her.

"Got them!"

"Good! Saber! Mashu! We need to hold this defensive position! If the enemy manages to reach Kyoto, then it will fall into chaos!" ordered Rothus as he put away his smoking gun before continuing his defensive assault against the Inves with his sword.

"Understood, Master!" Mashu and Saber complied before joining alongside the redhead in standing their ground.

"Come here and say hello to my sword, Inves!" shouted Momotaros as he struck down another Inves with green accents with his sword. "Hahaha!" laughed the imajin as he swung his way through the Kaijin.

Then several Inves piled on top of the red imajin and pinned him to the ground.

"What the?! Hey! Get off me, you damn Inves! This is cheating!" shouted Momotaros as he struggled to get out.

"Hold on, Momoji!" shouted Kintaros with his ax raised.

*BAM*

With one mighty swing of his ax, Kintaros sent the monsters on top of Momotaros flying high into the sky. "Hmph! Wipe your tears with these." The yellow imajin threw a pile of hand tissues to the Inves that he took down.

"OI! I had that!" shouted Momotaros as he quickly picked himself up before stomping the ground in anger at the little dent in his pride for being saved.

"Momoji, now is not the time for pride. Humph!" grunted Kintaros as he palm-struck an Inves with blue accents near him into a group, bowling them over. "We must unite if we are to fend off this many foes!"

"I know that! But I can handle myself without you two holding me back!" shouted Momotaros as he cleaved another Inves in two.

"Save your pride for later, Sempai. It seems that the bigger fish have come."

*ROOOOOOOOAAAAAAAAAAAAR*

"Right, the dragon…" Momotaros muttered as a green eastern dragon charged at them.

"HAH!" shouted a voice before a green figure quickly struck the dragon down to the ground.

"Oi! Old man! I had that!" shouted the red Imajin in anger.

"Save the competing for later, Momotaros!" shouted Another Agito before he quickly struck down a nearby Inves with his green fist. "We need to hold off these Kaijin!"

"Don't tell me what to do!"

Back at the Chaldea group, they were fighting off as many Inves as they can, leaving a trail of bodies or ashes of their numerous enemies.

"We should be able to protect the city at this rate." Mashu said as she struck down several Inves by widely swinging her shield.

"…No, we may not be able to." Rothus said with a certain tone and sweated upon remembering at how there was still one main advantage that the denizens of the Helheim Forest have: numbers.

"Sempai? What do you mean?"

The redhead quickly stabbed through three Inves before pulling out his sword and slicing through another three that got near him. "Look around us, even though we have powerful allies, we are disorganized. We have too many holes in our formation…" Rothus pointed out how the group of council members were more focused on fighting their own battles rather than working in unison to wipe out groups of the Inves. "And the enemies we are facing must be in the million…"

"Master's right." Saber agreed as she also knew that this battle of attrition was not on their side. "If we continue fighting in such a disorderly manner, we will be overrun and the monsters will invade Kyoto."

"Then what should we do, Master?" asked Mashu.

"I-Mashu! Look out!" Rothus took out his gun and aimed right at the Shielder.

"…!" Mashu realized that her Master was aiming for something behind her and ducked.

*BANG*

The inves with red accents fell to the ground dead as Mashu quickly struck away two that got near Rothus. Saber quickly jumped forward to attack a red lion Inves similar to the one that the group fought yesterday.

"They are already starting to overwhelm us! We need to come up with tactics that can turn the tide." Rothus said after he quickly struck down several more monster. "Saber!"

"Yes, Master?" responded the knight as she cleaved through the red lion Inves in three strikes.

Rothus also cut his way through until he had his back to the Servant of the Sword. "Is your Noble Phantasm capable of removing this amount of enemies?"

"Yes- Hah!" shouted Saber as she cut down another Inves with blue accents. "It is an Anti-Fortress Noble Phantasm. One swing should be enough to eliminate most of the monsters! But I need time to charge it due to their large numbers!"

"Understood. Mashu! Use your Noble Phantasm to create a wall the moment we get everyone else on the frontlines to fall back! Is that clear?"

"Yes, I understand, Master!"

"Good, now there is only one problem…" muttered Rothus before he duck under a swing and stabbed the attacker in the neck.

"And what is that, Master?" asked Saber after she cut down three more Inves.

"How do I get them to hear me?" wondered Rothus as he turned to the site of the combined onslaught of the samurais, the Imajin, and the Kamen Riders who were defeating the Inves quickly but they were not making a dent in the large numbers.

"TUTORIAL MESSAGE INCOMING."

"Huh?" The redhead cyborg turned to the tome as it quickly opened and a page smacked into his face.

*SLAP*

Rothus peeled it off and the page floated into the air to show a small video play.

"NEED TO GET THE ATTENTION OF YOUR ALLIES BUT THEY ARE TOO BUSY FIGHTING THE ENEMY OR EACH OTHER?" asked Da Vinci as a small drawing of her was yelling at small versions of Saber, Archer, and Mashu who were busy fighting in a smoke cloud.

"HERE IS YOUR SOLUTION! USE THE MEGAPHONE DESIGNED AND PROVIDED BY THE ONE AND ONLY, GENIUS DA VINCI CHAN!" The small Da Vinci took out a megaphone with the Chaldea Double Diamonds and yelled at the fighters, except they were sent flying by the loud yell.

"RESULTS MAY VARY." The small Da Vinci looked a bit embarrassed before chuckling.

"Megaphone?" repeated Rothus while an Inves was about to attack him.

"Sempai! Ugh!" Mashu grunted as she smashed another Inves away. "Be careful!"

"Mashu, is a megaphone standard issue for Chaldea members?" asked Rothus with a calm tone while seemingly ignorant of the attack on him.

"I don't think so. Having a megaphone isn't exactly useful… But it could help get the attention of the others."

"Function: Deploy Megaphone."

Rothus set the volume to max and shouted into the megaphone, "ALL KAMEN RIDERS, SERVANTS, AND SAMURAI! LISTEN TO ME!"

"Huh? Rothus-kun?" Souji stopped and turned to Rothus who held a device which appeared to amplify his voice.

"What a loud racket." Date muttered as he stabbed an Inves behind him.

"WE NEED TO FALL BACK AND REGROUP! OUR CURRENT FORMATION WILL LEAVE US OVERRUN AT THIS RATE!"

"OI! What are you-"

"Sempai! Several kaijin are getting away!" shouted Urataros as he pointed at a group of Inves that managed to break away from their position.

"S**T! Come on! We need to get them before they reach Kyoto!" shouted Momotaros as he ran after the monsters with the other two Imajin and Another Agito following him.

"It's already begun…" muttered Rothus as a large amount of Inves that were not engaging the group were moving towards Kyoto as their main target. "I REPEAT! EVERYONE REGROUP AND FALL BACK!" shouted the redhead before he ran back with Mashu and Saber following him.

"Oi! Get back here! The fight is still ours!" shouted Date in protest to the change in tactics.

"Milord! Look out!" shouted Kojurou as he quickly stood behind Date before the Inves charging at the blue samurai jumped and sprouted wings to fly over them.

"What the?" Date said aloud in confusion before realizing that the Inves that were charging were also not confronting the samurais.

"They're avoiding us…" muttered the vassal with a concerned tone.

"Tch! They must be hungry for Kyoto folk… Kojurou! Let's move!" shouted Date before he ran after the group and turned into a bolt of lightning that tore through the monsters in his way.

"Hai!" answered Kojurou as he followed after his lord through the path he carved.

Back at the shooters, they were shooting down as much as they can against the monsters that were flying for Kyoto.

*BANG* *BANG* *BANG* *BANG* *BANG* *BANG* *BANG* *BANG* *BANG* *BANG* *BANG* *BANG* *BANG* *BANG* *BANG* *BANG* *BANG* *BANG*

"Ugh! There's no end to them!" shouted Lazer as he fired as many energy arrows as possible into the swarm of Inves despite not making a dent in the numbers.

"There's just too many!" shouted Ryotaro as Den-O shot down one monster but two more took its place.

*BANG* *BANG* *BANG*

"Phooey! This is a ridiculous flash mob!" complained Den-O after he quickly shot down those Inves and fired wildly into the swarm in front of him.

"Don't let up! If you do then we lose Kyoto to these Kaijin!" shouted Nobunaga as she continued to fire into the sky despite feeling the strain in her trigger fingers.

"Even if you say that, we will likely be overwhelmed at the rate they are going…" muttered Marika as she felt the strain get to her arms.

"Then we need more firepower! Nobunaga! Lend me your Eyecon! I'm certain it can help!"

Nobunaga turned to the blue Kamen Rider before agreeing that a change of forms could help their situation. "Very well!" Then she took out the purple Eyecon from her uniform's pocket and threw it to Specter. "Specter, show them the power of my Sandan Otshi (3-Line Volley)!"

"Gladly!" shouted Specter as he pulled open the cover of his belt and replaced his default Eyecon with the purple Eyecon.

"EYE!" announced the belt after Specter closed the cover which summoned a purple jacket ghost with golden tassets, a pair of purple cloths on the sides, and a ponytail on the hood styled in the same way as a musket fuse. "BATCHIRIMIRO! BATCHIRIMIRO!"

"Hah!" shouted Specter as he pulled the lever of his belt out and in.

"KAIGAN: NOBUNAGA! WARE NO IKIZAMA! OKEHAZAMA!" As the announcement took place, the purple jacket quickly equipped itself onto Specter who gained a new mask which had a pair of rifles in an X-cross.

"…! What is this feeling?" wondered Archer as he turned to look at the changed Specter. "It's almost as if he's a Servant!"

Nobunaga Specter quickly aimed his rifle and fired at an Inves, killing it with ease. Then he started firing the rifle at a faster and more accurate rate than he originally performed in his default form.

Nobunaga smiled as she also glowed with a purple aura before firing as wildly and accurately as the now-purple Kamen Rider.

"Nobunaga! Ike!" shouted Nobunaga Specter as he pulled the lever of his belt again.

"AHAHAHAHAHA! OF COURSE! ALL OF THOSE BELOW ME! BE PROUD TO WITNESS THE TRUE POWER OF MY RIFLE FORMATION!" shouted Nobunaga as she dismissed her rifles and pulled out her commander's saber as her body's purple aura glowed with power.

"DAI KAIGAN: NOBUNAGA OMEGA DRIVE!" announced the belt as large line of rifles formed behind Specter as he aimed his rifle which charged with a purple energy.

"Show your corpse to the Three Thousand Worlds... Demon Descent! Behold, the Demon King's-" Nobunaga chanted as a large row of musket rifles formed behind the line of rifles behind Specter's rifle line. "SANDAN OTSHI (三千世界: Three Line Formation)!"

Upon hearing the command, Specter fired off thousands of purple shots with the rifle line along with Nobunaga's rifles which followed by shooting off thousands of purple lasers that tore right through thousands of monsters in the sky.

*BANG**BANG**BANG**BANG**BANG**BANG**BANG**BANG**BANG**BANG*

Meanwhile, Gaim and Amazing Mighty Kuuga were fighting through the swarm of Inves with Kuuga kicking through a group before Gaim quickly caught him with his hoverbike.

*BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOM*

An explosion followed as the two flew away from it, though the numbers of Inves did not decrease.

"Damn it! Even that kick wasn't strong enough to wipe most of them out!" gritted the black armored Kuuga as he gripped his fists.

"Calm down, sempai! We can't do anything if we angrily tear through the Inves swarm!"

"*Sigh* I know, but these numbers are still a problem, and it feels like they are increasing in size."

"Must be that open Crack." Gaim muttered as he looked up are the massive zipper portal that was still open. "We need to close it as soon as possible."

"Yeah…" Kuuga agreed before hearing something similar to a whistle and looked down to see a large number of lasers flying towards the Inves… and them! "GAIM! We've got incoming!"

"Huh?" Gaim looked in the older Kamen Rider's direction and saw the large number of lasers aimed at the Inves. "OH CRAP!" Then the orange Kamen Rider revved the hoverbike and quickly flew away from the incoming artillery.

*BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOM*

Then explosions lit up the sky from the large number of artillery from the combined attack of the Demon Archer and purple Kamen Rider.

"Did that do the trick?" asked Lazer as the explosions cleared to reveal more Inves flying towards the city.

"Tsk! Not even that could put a dent in their numbers?!" Specter grunted in exasperation at their failure to wipe out the Inves despite shooting down so many.

"Hah! That means we just need to keep shooting!" shouted Nobunaga as she readied her guns.

"Tch." Archer gritted as he readied his next shot before he noticed that Imajin were running back to the city along with those who left for the frontlines. "What are they doing?"

"Kid, what's going on?"

"Our position and formation had too many holes, Father! We're being overrun! So we're going to change tactics and funnel them into a group at Kyoto's entrance before Saber unleashes her Noble Phantasm! Can you provide fire support?"

The red Servant mentally grimaced that the numbers of the monsters were more than they could expect. "No, we cannot! We still haven't cleared the kaijin in the Sky!" responded Archer as he fired a dozen more arrows that wiped a group of Inves that flew too close to Kyoto airspace.

"Even after that large amount of artillery?"

"Yes, so you and those on the ground are on your own."

"Understood."

The Chaldea group managed to reach the outer entrance of Kyoto where they saw that the Imajin were engaging the Inves that got past the Imajin. Kintaros pulverized an Inves with red accents into the ground with an elbow drop. Urataros rapidly gave several hits to an Inves with green accents before kicking it down. Momotaros struck down an Inves with blue accents with his sword.

Near them, Souji quickly struck down several Inves with her sword with quick and accurate strikes.

"Phew, that should be all the ones that escaped…" Souji breathed out.

"Don't relax yet, Sakura-chan. We still have a charging army coming for us." Urataros pointed out.

"Oh! The young Kuma and his friends have arrived!" shouted Kintaros upon seeing Rothus, Saber, and Mashu.

"Is everyone here? Good, we should be able to hold this position."

"Oi, brat! What's the plan?" asked Momotaros knowing the redhead must had some sort of plan despite not liking to listen to others besides Ryotarou.

"Saber is going to unleash her Noble Phantasm! But we need to protect her while she charges her attack!" shouted Rothus over the projectiles being fired into the sky.

"And how do we stop the charging Inves?" asked Souji as the monsters.

"By starting with this… MASHU NOW!" ordered Rothus as he raised his arm to the Shielder.

The lavender haired girl felt the energy course into her and she readied her shield. "LORD! CHALDEA!" shouted Mashu as she smashed her shield onto the ground summoning the wall she used to protect them from the darkened Saber's Noble Phantasm. The wall made of magic took form of a phantom, brick wall and the charging Inves crashed into it, thrashing against it and unable to get through.

"Saber, prepare your Noble Phantasm!"

"Understood, Master!" Saber responded as she released the spell that hid her sword, showing a greatsword similar to the Darkened Saber's sword except it had a gold hilt and silver blade with runes etched on it.

"Kirei (Pretty)… What a beautiful sword." Souji commented in awe.

Then the sword glowed with energy that formed into a small pillar of light, causing the Inves swarm to be attracted to it, similar to moths to a flame.

"…?! The Inves, are avoiding us?" Kuuga watched the dividing Inves that avoided him and Gaim.

Gaim wondered what cause the change in behavior before sensing a large amount of energy and turned in its direction. Then he widened his eyes at the sight of the massive pillar of light that seems to cause the Inves swarm to converge on it.

"No sempai. I think they're being attracted by that!" shouted Gaim as he pointed at the light.

"A pillar of light?" Kuuga said with a puzzled tone.

"No, I think it's something else. Either way, we need to head there before the Inves engulf it!"

"Everyone! Our objective is to protect her until she is done, so we must act together! Mashu's shield should be able to hold until Saber is done charging." Rothus informed the group.

"Should?!" shouted the red Imajin at the young Master's words.

"It's an estimate, but we need to have faith the Mashu's Noble Phantasm should hold long enough! But we still need defenders who can hold this position and funnel the areas where Lord Chaldea can't cover! Is that clear?"

Momotaros wanted to argue about the plan before noticing the Inves moving to the side to attack them. "Ugh! Fine! Tell me where to go to crack some skulls!"

"Good! Mister Momotaros, you and your brothers handle grouping on the west side." Rothus pointed in the direction for the Imajin to fight.

"Gotcha. Let's kick some ass, you morons!" shouted Momotaros as he charged in the direction of the Inves moving towards them.

"That's a bit hypocritical, ain't it Sempai?" asked Urataros with a wave of a hand.

Rothus turned to Souji and Another Agito. "Captain Souji and Mr. Kino, you two will handle-"

"KILL SHAKE!" shouted a certain blue samurai who spun downwards in front of the group and created a mini-twister which its sharp winds tore through any Inves unfortunate enough to get caught in his attack.

"Lord Date/Date-san!" shouted Rothus and Mashu.

*BOOM*

A sword crashed into an area that sent a couple of Inves flying, Kojuro landed near the Master and Servant pair and he swung his second sword in a windmill sweep that struck down the Inves that were near him. Then he quickly sheathed the sword and pulled out his thrown sword. "Sorry for our tardiness, shounen-tachi (Young ones). Milord was a bit stubborn in fighting from his position until the monsters started avoiding us."

The aforementioned lord landed near his vassal with an annoyed scowl on his face. "Don't' apologize for me, Kojuro! Tch, I never felt more insulted! Oi, Red-boy. Tell us where to go so I can show them why I shouldn't be ignored!" shouted Date with an angered tone.

The redhead was puzzled by why the blue warlord felt insulted for being ignored by the enemy but chose to ignore it. "Can you and Mister Kojurou handle holding the position on the east flank with Mister Kino and Captain Souji?" Rothus pointed to the right side of the shield where a large quantity of Inves were moving towards them and Saber.

"Heh. Of course! It's like herding a bunch of chickens!" shouted Date before he charged off to engage the enemies moving around the side.

"It really isn't, milord. But we will do our best to funnel the monsters, Shonen-kun." Kojurou stated with his sword drawn.

"Same here. Just call for any of us if any Inves attack you two." Another Agito added before charging forward.

"Leave it to us, Rothus! I can fight for a few more hours!"

"…! That's right, you have that disease…" Rothus realized that the Saber still had a disease despite her Servant status. "Will you be all right, captain?"

"Don't worry about me! Just focus on protecting Saber!" Souji reassured the Master with a smile before charging off.

"Okay." After the green Kamen Rider and pink kimono-wearing samurai ran to hold the line with the one-eyed dragon, the redhead Master turned to the city. "Now if only we can get support from the artillery…"

"We can hold this position for so long, sempai… But we should be able to last." Mashu said as she held her ground against the increasing number of monsters attacking her wall.

*THUD*

The two turned to the sight of an Inves landing in front of Saber.

"Saber!" shouted Rothus as he charged forward and jump-slashed the monster to death. "Continue focusing on your Noble Phantasm! We'll protect you!"

"How did one get through?" asked Mashu before she felt her shield buckle a bit before she quickly returned to holding her ground with her shield.

"*Gasp* Above!" concluded Rothus as he looked up to the sight of the Inves in the sky gathering together above them. "Father!"

(Fate Grand Order OST: Grand Battle –Japanese Arrangement-)

"I see it!" responded Archer as he readied his bow.

"Ready the next volley, Nobunaga! We need to slow them down for Saber's Noble Phantasm!" shouted Archer as he turned to the gun-wielding Archer.

"Don't got enough for another round yet! Makoto! You got another one in you?"

"Not yet! But give me time, Nobunaga!" Specter answered before sitting down and meditating in order to recharge his spirit reserves for another finisher attack.

"Tch, Archer, you're going to have to unleash your Noble Phantasm to deal with the army!"

Archer scowled but internally agreed that the two won't be able to do much shortly after unleashing that powerful Noble Phantasm.

"Very well." The man let out a breath before he started chanting.

"I am the bone of my sword…"

Then he brought a sword with a spear shaped blade into existence and then knocked it onto his bow.

"Steel is my body…

And fire is my blood…"

As he chanted, the sword started to glow and fill with energy and a tailwind formed around the Servant of the Bow.

Baron noticed and understood what the red Archer was planning and shout to his partner. "Marika!" Then he took off the lemon Lockseed on his belt and placed it onto a similar slot on his bow.

"Hai!" confirmed Marika as she also took off her peach Lockseed and placed it onto her bow.

"LOCK ON!" announced the bows as they locked the Locks into the slots, charging the bows.

"LEMON ENERGY!"

"PEACH ENERGY!"

The two fired the shots which slammed into the Inves and expanded into energy orbs shaped in a large lemon and a large peach. The orbs were holding the next Inves swarm in place and gave Archer a clear target.

"Archer! Aim there!" shouted Baron.

"Hmph!" grunted Archer as he released his hold and shouted the sword's name. "CALADBOLG!"

The sword flew through the air which broke the sound barrier and then it smashed into the lemon and peach projections which exploded into another massive explosion that tore through a massive amount of Inves.

"Sugoi…"

"Pretty~!" Den-O gun form said in amazement at the bright colors from the explosion which was akin to a fireworks explosion.

"Nice shot, Archer! But that didn't make a dent!" shouted Nobunaga due to prior experience that they could not make a large enough dent to stop the large amount of Inves in the sky.

"That shot wasn't to make a dent… That was just to delay them!" announced Archer as he renewed his assault against the invading Inves.

"Delay them? Wait," The former warlord looked down at the town to the sight of a growing pillar of light and saw that it came from Chaldea's Saber. "that light is your Saber, isn't it?"

"Yes, the plan that my Master has come up with is to use Saber's Noble Phantasm to wipe out the monsters. But she needs time to charge her sword until it is strong enough to wipe most of them out."

"Heh, you all must have some serious confidence in Saber's Noble Phantasm." Nobunaga said before she summoned her rifles. "We got nothing else, so might as well try it!"

*BANG* *BANG*

"Hmph, good to hear." Archer smirked before firing several more arrows at the Inves.

Back on the ground battle, the groups were fighting off as many inves as they could strike down.

*Schwing* *BAM*

"How long until the charge is done, damn it?!" shouted Momotaros as he made wider swings to hit as many Inves as he can. "These assholes are starting to get annoying!"

"Just keep holding line for Saber-chan, Sempai!" shouted Urataros as he spun staff into several of the Helheim Kaijin around him.

"Hmph!" Kintaro palm struck an inves, sending it bowling a group over. Then he smashed his massive ax into them. "Indeed, we must show no mercy for these fellows! And then they will cry at her strength!"

"Stop saying that! And start cracking more skulls!" shouted the red Imajin as he swung his sword through an Inves.

"Sheathed in the breath of the planet, a torrent of shining life." Saber chanted as more light began to gather around the knight and she raised her revealed sword high.

The Kamen Riders and Servants began to fight even harder, throwing away finesse for practicality as the Inves continued to swarm towards them with Saber as the target.

Another Agito grabbed an Inves and seismic tossed it into a group of Inves near him. He jumped out and kicked another group with a light-charged kick that sent them flying and exploding.

"Ugh! We need buy more time! Date! How is your side?" asked Souji after cutting down another Inves.

"JET-X!"

Then a lightning X cross tore through a group of inves, sending them flying or chopping them to pieces.

"Not great! This just went from herding into stopping a stampede!" shouted Date as he swung his six swords through another group of monsters as quickly as possible.

"Hmph!" grunted Kojurou as he sliced an Inves in half with both of his swords out to cut as many as he can. "Indeed milord! We will likely be overrun before Saber-san is done charging her attack!"

"Are you really losing hope, Kojurou? We can take em if we work together!"

"Heh, of course milord. Fighting at your side until my last breath is the greatest blessing for me."

"No dying yet! We need you two for the battle against the instigator of this situation!" shouted Another Agito before he punched through an Inves.

"Yeah!"

"Enough talk! Let's keep this party going!" shouted Date as he charged into the fray, summoning lightning waves that cleaved through the monsters in his way.

Kojurou followed his lead and swung his katanas through as many monsters as he could lay his eyes on. Souji cleaved through as many Inves as possible with quick swings. Another Agito followed their relentless assault on the groups of Inves with kicks and punches that sent a couple of inves onto the ground.

Back at the Chaldea Group, Rothus was fending off as many Inves as possible by stabbing one before throwing the body into another.

*BAM* *Crk-crak*

"Ugh! Sempai!" shouted Mashu as she tried her best to keep the barrier up while the wall started cracking from the constant ramming of the Inves.

"Just hold out a bit longer, Mashu!" shouted Rothus as he cut through several more monsters that managed to get through.

*BAM* *BAM*

Mashu kept the wall up with all of her strength despite her Noble Phantasm weakening and the strength in her legs and arms waning. "Ugh…"

Rothus turned to the Demi-Servant with worry but then an Inves fell on top him.

"…! Master!" shouted Mashu and Saber in worry for the redhead as the monster tried to make a swipe at him

*BANG*

The Inves stilled after a hole blasted through its body.

"I'm fine!" announced the Master as he pushed the dead kaijin off his body showing that he quickly drew his gun and shot it in the head. "Ugh… This isn't getting easy. Then again onslaught battles with low numbers were never easy…" The redhead pushed himself back on his feet despite the feeling of exhaustion along with the amount of sweat he perspired during the battle.

"This battle is definitely taking a toll on sempai… He won't be able to last long if this continues… Saber, please finish charging!"

*CRACK*

"…! Mashu! Don't lose focus!" warned Rothus upon noticing the wall cracking all over.

"…!" Mashu turned and realized that her worry for her Master caused her focus on her Noble Phantasm to fall apart faster. "I-Ugh!"

*CRACK**CRACK**CRACK**CRACK**CRACK**CRACK**CRACK*

"I can't hold them back any longer!" shouted Mashu as she tried to hold her ground but felt herself being pushed back along with her Noble Phantasm's invocation failing.

"Saber! Get ready to unleash your Noble Phantasm!" ordered the redhead Master as he stood up at the ready.

"…! But it's not ready, Master!" shouted Saber as she could not gather enough mana to wipe out the monsters in front of them and the army that span all the way in the back.

"I know, but Mashu's Noble Phantasm is failing! We both will not be able to hold back the incoming army of Inves!" shouted Rothus as he readied his sword for the inevitable collapse of the Mashu's wall. "So it's now or never!"

"…!" Saber sweated a bit in worry as the group of monsters managed to pierce through the wall with their arms thrashing through it.

Mashu poured as much prana as she can muster into her Noble Phantasm, but she felt its power fading. "Ugh!"

"Mashu! Get ready to retreat! Saber! Get ready to attack when Mashu's shield falls!" shouted Rothus as he ran to the Shield Servant's side.

*CRACK-CRICK-CRACK*

"Ugh!" Mashu grunted as she felt the last of her Noble Phantasm's strength disappear before Lord Chaldeas dispersed into glittering light. The pink haired girl fell backwards and Rothus quickly caught her before running backwards as the Inves swarm fell upon them.

"NOW SAB-"

But before the redhead could give the order for Saber to activate her Noble Phantasm two shouts could be heard from the sky.

"ORANGE SQUASH!"

"ORYAAAH!"

"SEIHAAAH!"

*BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOM*

Then another explosion took place after something crashing into the middle of the Inves army, sending them flying all over. Rothus leapt forward and dragged Mashu onto the ground as the shockwave tore through the Inves. When the smoke cleared, Amazing Mighty Kuuga punched the closest kaijin near him before proceeding to cause damage in the army of monsters in front of the three.

*SLASH*

"Yosh! Ikuze, Kuuga-sempai! This is our stage now!" Gaim shouted while cleaving his way through the many Inves surrounding him.

*BAM*

Amazing Mighty Kuuga sent several Inves flying with one punch before landing near Rothus, Mashu, and Saber. "Hah! Are you three all right?"

"Mister Godai!" shouted Rothus as he held Mashu. "Thank you for the assistance!"

Mashu sat up while breathing heavily from the length of time she had to hold her Noble Phantasm's form. "Hah… Hah…"

"…! Mashu, are you all right?" asked the redhead who looked worried about his partner.

"Master… I'm sorry I couldn't hold them back longer…" Mashu apologized to Rothus with an exhausted tone.

"I should be the one saying that, Mashu. The plan relied too much on your shield's Noble Phantasm, if you had been given more training and time then you could have lasted longer."

"Yeah…"

"Save the emotional talks and apologies for after the battle!" shouted Gaim as he attached his swords together by their pommels and loaded his orange Lockseed onto his gun sword.

"1,000! ORANGE SQUASH!"

"SEIHAAH!" shouted Gaim as he swung his weapon in circular motion, creating waves in the shape of orange slices that slashed apart the Inves around him.

"Why are you all attracting the Inves to Saber?!" shouted Kuuga before he pummeled several Inves with a barrage of punches, causing them to spontaneously explode.

"The plan is to wipe them all out in one swoop with Saber's Noble Phantasm!" Mashu answered as she was helped up by Rothus.

"That's a good plan if it weren't for the fact that the Inves are attracted by the light!" shouted Gaim as he tore through more of the Inves.

"Save the complaints for later, Gaim! Saber-san! How long until you're finished?" shouted Kuuga while he grabbed an Inves and broke its back with his knee.

*SNAP*

(Fate Zero Ost: Sword of Promise Victory)

"Just a little bit more!" Saber answered as millions of light orbs started to fly from the earth itself.

"…?! Fireflies?" wondered Gaim who took some time to notice the orbs floating up.

"No… This feels like… hope!" shouted Amazing Mighty Kuuga as the felt his strength grow as he fought harder.

"Is this the effect of Saber's Excalibur in its uncorrupted state?" asked Rothus before he ducked under a claw and punched an inves down with his metal fist.

"No, I think this is pure mana!" concluded Mashu as she stood up straight after recuperating some of her strength.

"Mana… As in the planet's magical energy?" asked Gaim before he cut through some inves that got near him. "How much is she drawing?"

"Enough! Master… The time is near!" announced Saber as she raised her sword high.

"Understood!" shouted Rothus as he turned to Mashu. "Mashu, can you-"

"Of course, I still have the strength to at least fight with my shield." Mashu stated as she picked up her cross shield.

"Good…" Then Rothus took out his megaphone and shouted into it to rally the fighters on the ground. "EVERYONE! KEEP FIGHTING! SABER'S NEARLY DONE!"

"WE HEAR YOU! COME ON YOU BAKA-YAROS (MORONS)! IT'S CLIMAX TIME!" shouted Momotaros before loud smashing could be heard and Inves were sent flying left and right.

*BAM*

"Hah!" shouted Urataros as he swung his staff and sent the Inves near him flying.

*BAM*

"TOH!-TOH!-TOH!-TOH!-TOH!-TOH!-TOH!-TOH!-TOH!-TOH!" shouted Kintaros as he threw a barrage of palm strikes against a group of inves that sent them crashing into a nearby group that Momotaros and Urataros herded.

"Hmph!" grunted Another Agito as he summoned his symbol in a green light and absorbed it into his right foot before jumping high. "HAAAAAH!" Then he dropkicked into a group of Inves, creating a large green explosion.

*BOOM*

Date cleaved through an Inves group before Kojurou struck another group that was about to attack him. Then Souji swiftly slashed through a group with precise handling of her sword before sliding near the two samurai.

"Seems like this party is reaching its climax like the red oni said." The blue samurai lord said with a smile before sending a monster flying with the three swords in his right hand.

"It appears so, milord." Kojurou added.

"If you two have time to talk, then focus on cutting down the enemy!" shouted Souji as she cut down another Inves that got close to her.

"And that's what we're going to do! Kojurou!"

"Hai!" shouted Kojurou before he dashed forward and jumped high before smashing his sheathed katana onto the ground, causing a quake that sent the group of Inves in front of him flying.

"Hah!" roared Date as he threw five of his swords at the airborne monsters. Then the swords create a network of lightning that drew together a large circle with an Asian Dragon that had its maw opened to the monsters.

Date crouched into a stance while raising his last sword with a two-handed grip. He summoned forth his lightning to energize his final attack on the monsters and then he jumped high into the sky.

"JUMPING JACK BREAKER!" shouted Date as he became an energy projectile that smashed through the center of the dragon circle and annihilated the Inves caught.

"Whoa! Was that his Noble Phantasm?" asked Souji before she ducked under an Inves swipe and cleaved her attacker in two.

"Noble Phantasm? Ah right, is that what you call your Basara Attacks in this world?"

"Basara Attack? That's a bit of a strange name."

"Yes, but I do feel the same with Noble Phantasm. Sounds a bit European, isn't it?"

"Well yes, but that is how we call them due to the Grail." Souji responded. "Whether it's the technique I trained my entire life to master or the sword that Kishi Saber currently wields."

"Her sword? I see… It must be quite powerful if she had to hide it with magic." Kojurou said as he turned to the pillar of light.

"Yep."

Then Date landed near the two swordsmen and slashed through a couple more Inves.

"Oi! Save the talking for after we crush these punks!" shouted the lord before he charged back into the fray.

"Un!"

Gaim, Kuuga, Mashu, and Rothus cut and smashed through the Inves that were still charging at them.

Amazing Mighty Kuuga punched through two more Inves while Gaim slashed through several more next to him.

Mashu blocked an Inves and then Rothus shot it in the head.

"Saber, is it ready?" asked the Master after cutting down what could be his five hundredth opponent.

"Yes! Mashu! Master! Everyone! Get clear!" shouted Saber as she raised the sword of light.

"H-Hai!" responded Mashu and Gaim. Then they and Rothus and Kuuga quickly jumped out of the way.

"EVERYONE! GET CLEAR OF THE MIDDLE ZONE!" shouted Rothus who was using the megaphone again.

The defenders quickly broke off and ran from the middle which now had millions of Inves now swarming to Saber.

But the blond knight stared at the threat before her with determined eyes and swung the pillar of light with a mighty roar.

"Feel its wrath-EXCALIBUR!" roared Saber as she swung down the beam of light which incinerated the monsters in the sky before crashing down into the open zipper. The Inves trying to go through the opening were met with the light of the Sword of Promised Victory that disintegrated them. From the burning light, the zipper was forced shut with the open metal zipper melted together.

The Kamen Riders watched in awe at the beam of light that somehow was charged with their hope and annihilated most of the Inves army.

Then the citizens who watched at how the group had successfully fended off the monsters with their skills and the beam of light started to cheer. They celebrated at how the warriors from another land held off the demons that came for their city.

"We did it… The Inves are retreating…" Gaim said with a smile under his mask and his hands were on his knees.

"Huff… Huff… Yeah… I'm glad… no smiles were lost today…" Kuuga exhaustively said with a relieved tone and put his thumb up.

"Hah… We… did it…" Lazer fell on his back after feeling the sense of exhaustion hit him hard.

"Huff… Huff… Yeah, we won this battle." Specter said while resting his gun on his shoulders and sitting from overexerting his spiritual power.

"You two need to exercise more, I'm older than the both of you two and yet I'm still standing." Another Agito admonished the two younger Kamen Riders as he approached them.

"We don't have infinite stamina like you, Kino-sempai." Lazer pointed out with an arm raised with a finger point.

"I have to agree with him on that." Specter added with a reluctant tone.

"What do you mean by that?!" shouted the yellow Kamen Rider.

"You know what I mean." Specter said.

"AHAHAHAHAHAHAHA! By the gods, I haven't done this much shooting since the Battle of Nagashino! And that was against horsemen!" announced Nobunaga who smiled and laughed at their victory. "This is cause for a celebration."

"Hmph, even after such a dire battle, you still celebrate, Nobunaga." Baron said with a shake of his head.

"It can't be helped, Kaito! I'm in the mood for food and booze after using my Noble Phantasm so many times!" Nobunaga said while her hands on her hips.

"Though, that welded-shut Crack is only a temporary solution. If this Kamen Rider is as dangerous as I believe he is, we should find him as soon as possible."

"Bah! Do you have to ruin the celebration mood, Yoko?" asked Nobunaga who gave a mock glare at the peach Kamen Rider.

"I'm just stating the obvious, Nobunaga." Mariko said with a shrug while looking away from former warlord.

"Oi! Look at me in the eyes when you say that!"

"Wait… So kishi-onna is actually Arthur?!" shouted Momotaros who held his head in shock and surprise that the identity of Saber was THE King Arthur.

"It appears so. She did give off a regal aura." Urataros noted. "I'm actually surprised myself at her identity, sempai.

"Even so… That mighty Noble Phantasm made me cry!" exclaimed Kintaros as he blew on a tissue with his nonexistent nose.

"So is your perception of the great King shattered, sempai?" teased the blue Imajin.

"Hmph!" Momotaros huffed and looked away from the younger Imajin to not give in to his provocation. "Of course not! Man or woman, Arthur will still be a badass who wields the most badass sword of all time!"

"*Chuckle* Good to see that you are respectful of women, sempai."

"Hah? What is that supposed to mean you womanizing bastard?!"

"Nothing."

"So that is the Noble Phantasm of Chaldea's Saber." Souji said with an impressed smile. "Now I really want to cross swords with you… Arthur."

"Not just that, but Saber… She appears to be that foreign King from the West… King Arthur."

"*Whistle* Nice! Now I really want to fight Saber at her full power!" proclaimed Date with an eager smile before walking to the city gate where the blond knight was. But then he staggered a bit before Kojurou caught him by the arm.

"You should hold off on that duel and rest for now, milord." Date's right hand advised.

"Yeah, yeah…" Date rolled his eyes but did not argue since he was started to feel the exhaustion catch up to him.

"Souji-san!" yelled a voice that broke her out of her thoughts.

"Hm?" The young woman turned to Ryotarou who was now untransformed and running towards her. "Oh! Ryo-kun!"

The brunette young man slowed his pace as he reached the Saber wearing a pink kimono. "Are you well, Souji-san?"

"*Giggle* Don't worry, Ryo-kun. I'm quite well despite the constant fighting. Why, I can still fight a couple more of those mon- GUGHH?!" The white haired Saber coughed up blood again and turned pale.

"AHHH! SOUJI-SAN!" shouted Ryotarou as he caught Souji who somewhat fainted from coughing up a bit of blood.

"The battle… is… over…" huffed Rothus who stabbed his sword into the ground to support himself. "Still, Saber's Noble Phantasm is incredible…"

"Sempai, was that part of the plan?" asked Mashu who pointed at the melted shut Crack.

The redhead stood up straight and rolled his left shoulder. "Not really… I was hoping that Saber's Noble Phantasm would just annihilate the massive enemy army."

"Either way, it worked out, kid."

"Father! Are you and the gunners all right?"

"Exhausted, but we are unharmed. What about Saber?"

The redhead and the Demi-Servant turned to Saber who fell to one knee with her sword stabbed into the ground to support her.

"Hah… Hah…" Saber breathed in and out with exhausted breaths. "I never imagined just how dangerous these Singularities could be… But… We overcame the challenge."

"She's fine, Father. Is the city still intact?"

"Yes. No casualties here."

"That's good. But keep an eye out for any hostiles. This battle probably attracted some nearby armies."

"Understood, make sure not to get into trouble again."

"Roger." Rothus responded before concluding the call.

"Well done, Sempai. We won." Mashu said with a smile.

Rothus gave her a small smile before frowning and looking forward, "…We may have won this battle, Mashu, but not the war."

"Sempai? Wait, you mean to say-"

"The monsters will attack again with a larger army when that Crack fully opens. We need to eliminate this Kamen Rider before that happens." Rothus said with a resolved tone and a determined look in his eyes.

"Very well. But we should-" responded Mashu before she was cut off by a hit to her back.

*SMACK*

The pair turned to the perpetrator who was Nobunaga who arrived with the Bomb Dismantle Council. "Hey you two, don't worry about it." The former warlord stated with a carefree smile.

"Lord Nobunaga…" muttered Rothus as he turned to the former warlord who arrived along with the Council Members and Archer.

"To worry about it now will only shave a lot of numbers off your years! So it can't be helped that we don't know where to find this Kamen Rider!" stated the Demon Archer with a carefree tone.

"Even so…" Mashu trailed off.

"Look, we all know that this guy's objective is the Holy Grail bomb, so we need to find it before he gets to it and activates it."

Rothus frowned a bit at Nobunaga's carefree attitude. "But we can't just ignore it!"

"And…?"

"And?"

"And then what, Kuma? We can't just worry our heads off right now! So worry later and focus on our plan to get to Honnouji!" Nobunaga stated as she pointed at Rothus.

"…I understand, Lord Nobunaga."

"Good. Now let's get packing for our trip to Honnouji!" shouted Nobunaga as she pointed at a direction.

*BOOM*

But suddenly something crashed near the group of Kamen Riders and Servants, much to their surprise and confusion.

"What in the hell?!" shouted Lazer.

"Who?!" grunted Saber as she readied her sword.

"Saber! What happened?!" Archer telepathically shouted before he astralized and quickly arrived to the site of the crash.

"Something crashed near us like a shooting star!" The blond knight informed the red-clothed Servant.

"Great… More trouble…" muttered the silver-haired man as he summoned two more swords.

From the dust cloud came a skull-masked warrior with a belt on his waist with a white, scratched-up block buckle. In his right hand was a metal plate while in his left was a battle-damaged white-bone gun. His entire armor was black and ash gray with venom green lenses in the skull- HOLY CRAP! WHAT THE HELL IS HE DOING HERE?!

"?!" The group were surprised by the appearance of the stranger before noticing the belt on his waist with a single thought going through their minds.

"A Kamen Rider?!"

"I. Found~ You!" The unknown Kamen Rider creepily announced as he suddenly teleported in front of Rothus before slamming a mask plate onto his featureless helmet.

*CLANG* *SNAP*

Then he dragged the armored redhead off his feet and smashed him into the ground with great force.

*BAM*

*Creeeaaaaak*

Then he bent his head in an off-putting angle, closing the distance between their helmets till they were touching. "Nice to finally meet you, Record…" chuckled the ash-gray armored Kamen Rider with an ominous tone. "Hm… you're still far from complete, no wonder Zelretch called in that favor. Very well, I decided that you, who is the Will of History, must first face your first hurdle… and that is to experience the contradiction of anger and sorrow!"

"Wait… Is he Decade?!" exclaimed Marika who somewhat recognized the pale white and black Kamen Rider's mask.

"I don't think so, Minato. There something off about that Kamen Rider…" Baron cautioned with his bow at the ready.

"I agree… This Kamen Rider reeks of danger." Another Agito stated with his fists raised.

"You! Unhand our Master!" shouted Saber as she charged at the mysterious Kamen Rider. Archer readied his bow while Mashu also charged forward.

"Wait, you three! We have no idea what he is capable of!" shouted Nobunaga who tried in vain to dissuade the Chaldea Servants. This is due to her honed instincts as a warlord telling her that this masked intruder was more dangerous than anything they could have imagined.

Then the rider turned his head towards the attacking Servants and suddenly a suffocating amount of bloodlust hit the group. Saber stopped in her tracks as well as Mashu and Archer, barely breathing within that hostile air. Everyone felt within that moment only one thoug-

"Please don't move a muscle…" The skull Kamen RIder said as he was now standing in front of Saber, much to her and her compatriots' surprise. There wasn't a shift of movement, nor warning, he just app-

"I rather not kill you people for interfering with my little test on Record." Then he was near Archer walking around him.

"But don't worry, you'll all play your parts soon." Then he placed his elbow on Mashu's shoulder and made his point with his free hand's index finger pointing upwards.

"Who… are you?" Saber managed to get out despite her stiffness at the unknown warrior's uneasy presence.

"A Kamen Rider abandoned by humanity." The mysterious Rider answered as he stood behind the blond knight. "I'm known as The Decayed, the DESTROYER WHO WILL END THE KINGDOMS." He said with a tone that shook the group before he rescinded his bloodlust and was now near the lying Rothus. "But don't worry ladies and gents, I'm not interested in destroying this world's Humanity. After all, you all seem to have your hands full with these Singularities." Then he grabbed the back of Rothus's neck.

"…!" Mashu quickly broke off her fear and charged forward to get back Rothus.

But the moment she made a single step,

*Bang*

She stopped before a crater made by the gun shot. Then The Decayed quickly brought a finger up and waved it in front of Mashu. "Ah! Ah! Ah! Don't be so hasty! I haven't introduced to you all-"

Suddenly, Amazing Mighty Kuuga and Gaim appeared quickly near The Decayed. Gaim swung his sword down at the Rider's hand to make him let go of Rothus while Kuuga threw a gold-energy charged fist into his helmet, creating a shockwave and explosion.

*BOOM*

The fighters covered their faces as the smoke cloud from the explosion flew out before dissipating. The group looked up to their surprise that Amazing Mighty Kuuga's fist did not even budge the pale Kamen Rider and Gaim's sword could not cut through his wrist.

"Hn…! Impossible!" grunted Kuuga in horror that his punch did not do anything and he felt as though he had punched a mountain. This powerless feeling was something he never thought he would feel since fighting N-Daguva.

*CRCK*

"Ugh! What is he made of?!" Gaim grunted and stumbled back before he noticed his sword's edge was cracked a bit. "?! My sword!"

"Nice punch… but not good enough." The Decayed stated before his eyes flashed with a venomous green.

"…!" Kuuga quickly put up his guard before a force sent him and Gaim flying into nearby buildings, destroying them.

"Ah! Yuu-nii!" shouted Hina.

"Kazuraba!" shouted Baron before drawing his bowstring with the arrow aimed at the pale Kamen Rider. "Konno…"

Before Baron and Marika could fire their bows, they were also sent flying into different buildings. Citizens screamed when they crashed through the wooden houses.

"As I was saying before I, not naming names, was rudely interrupted, I haven't introduced you all to the main course." Then the Rider snapped his fingers and a silver veil appeared in front of the Shielder and her compatriots.

"…?!" Mashu quickly jumped back with Archer and Saber standing at her sides to support her. Nobunaga and the members of the Council who were not incapacitated quickly prepared to fight whoever this Kamen Rider was about to summon.

The Decayed walked around the veil and started talking like a presenter. "Who could be passing through that veil? Is it a monster? Is it a Ghost? Is it a serial murderer? But don't worry, folks! I have a hint and it's now on Record's face!" The Rider exclaimed with a sadistic and gleeful tone as he held the somewhat unconscious Rothus by his neck to show his helmet now had a diamond shaped mask-plate with a red slit.

"That mask…!" Saber realized she had seen that familiar mask before. "Where have I…?"

Then a buzzer noise was loudly heard, shocking the group out of their stupor.

BZZZZZT!

"Too late! So no answers from the audience? That's sort of disappointing, and this guy was kind enough to let me take this mask." Then the veil opened to allow a shadowed figure enter on the field of battle. The figure was a black armored knight with a fearsome appearance and he roared loudly as he stood tall. His face was unmasked due to his frontal helm plate which got torn off from a previous struggle. The face showed pair of maddened eyes with messy, greasy hair from years of unkempt.

"Ar… thur…" muttered the knight with evident madness.

"*Gasp* It can't be…" muttered Saber with wide-eyed horror.

"Saber. Who is this man?" asked Mashu with narrowed eyes. But for some reason, she can't help but feel a sense of familiarity with the man.

"…" Saber did not respond as she stood in front of the knight with wide eyes that were in shock and fear.

"Saber!" shouted Archer again with a louder volume. He had never seen her this shaken before. Was the presence of this enemy Servant truly something to fear or was he someone from her past?

"…!" gasped the Servant of the Sword as she broke out of her temporary catatonic state. "He's… one of my knights… Actually, one of my greatest who I would go so far as to accept as my friend… That's Lancelot!"

*CLAP* *CLAP* *CLAP*

"Ding! Ding! Ding! We have a winner! The knight who betrayed his king by falling in love with his queen… Such a forbidden and tragic love. I guess fate has a horrible sense of looking for dramas." The Rider shrugged before he pulled Rothus down for a throwing motion. "But enough of that. Hey, Lance, fetch." Then he tossed him towards Lancelot who caught the armored soldier. "That boy will be your weapon. You know what to do."

"…" The knight growled before several spikes on wires came out of his back and stabbed into Rothus's back and limbs.

Rothus gasped in pain as he felt himself being overwhelmed from whatever the Berserk knight was doing to him.

"Master!" shouted Mashu and Saber.

"Rothus!" shouted Archer.

Record soon transformed as an additional armor plate formed on his chest, followed by the armor on his arms gaining more plating, and his greaves turned pitch-black with armor also increasing there. His fingers curled as the tips of his glove gained claw-like features.

"Master…"

"Ar…thur…!" shouted Lancelot as he manipulated Record to stand similar to a puppet.

"My king… I'm… sorry…" said Record suddenly with his movements somewhat mechanical.

"Huh?"

"Is he using Rothus to speak?" wondered Archer as he prepared for whatever the Berserker was using Rothus for.

Then Record grabbed his mask and started cringing and shaking uncontrollably. He started scratching his helmet recklessly, creating sparks from the constant metal scratching. "I'm sorry… I'm sorry… I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I'msorryI'msorryI'msorryI'msorryI'msorryI'msorryI'msorryI'msorryI'msorryI'msorryI'msorryI'msorryI'msorryI'msorryI'msorryI'msorryI'msorryI'msorryI'msorryI'msorryI'msorryI'msorryI'msorryI'msorryI'msorryI'msorryI'msorryI'msorryI'msorryI'msorryI'msorryI'msorryI'msorryI'MSORRYI'MSORRYI'MSORRYI'MSORRYI'MSORRYI'MSORRYI'MSORRYI'MSORRYI'MSORRYI'MSORRYI'MSORRYI'MSORRYI'MSORRYI'MSORRYI'MSORRYI'MSORRYI'MSORRYI'MSORRYI'MSORRYI'MSORRYI'MSORRYI'MSORRYI'MSORRYI'MSORRYI'MSORRYI'MSORRYI'MSORRYI'MSORRY! I'M SORRYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY!"

The armored Master screamed in out-of-character agony and anguish that shook the air as he screamed into the heavens that could be heard. Then he slumped forward with his arms lax and Lancelot frozen still despite his maddened expression.

"Lancelot… You…" muttered Saber who could only grit her teeth with pain in her heart.

"Please… punish me… My… King… Ar… Thur…" said Record as he looked up, metal creaking with his movement and reached out to her.

"Do the poor guy here a solid and waste him." The Kamen Rider rudely said as he sat on a rock behind the Servants and Kamen Riders. "Can't you see that he's pretty much in total agony? Drives a man mad, since I know that all too well."

The group would have glared at him if not for the fact that the most well-known Knight of the Round Table along with the Will of History stood against them. Both moving in unhuman-like motions slowly. Then they rushed the group of Servants and Kamen Riders, closing the distance in an instant.

And what was Rothus doing when he got smacked with that mask? He was knocked unconscious by The Decayed's sudden action of throwing him off his feet and smashing him onto the ground. Rothus felt himself slowly opening his eyes before noticing he was on a top of a large, wooden, circular table. He sat up and looked around with a confused expression.

"Huh? Where am I?" wondered the redhead as he stepped off the table and onto a floor where it lit white. He looked around the room and realized something was wrong as he looked into the darkness in the sky. "Huh? My night vision isn't activating." Then a light lit up near the Round Table while Rothus tried to make sense of his situation.

"Of course it wouldn't work, young lad." A voice said behind Rothus, to his surprise.

The redhead turned around and made a motion to grab and aim his gun but it wasn't present in its holster.

"Oh? Trying to shoot me? Shame you don't have a gun."

"...!" Upon that realization, Rothus quickly raised his arms to fight with his fisticuffs. But all he saw that the person behind him was a man with messy white hair and he wore a white cloak with a hood. The man's dark purple eyes stared at the red-haired teen's blue and green eyes with a curious and mischievous glimmer. Then he smiled with a friendly expression and raised his hands as a harmless gesture.

"Do not worry, I am not your enemy. Come. Come." At the man's gesture, Rothus lowered his arms but kept his suspicion of the man as he approached him.

"Can you tell me where I am?" asked the redhead who kept a short distance between him and the man so he could at least try to strangle him if he turned out to be an enemy.

"This place is the manifestation your soul, or at least some form of it. Quite a dark place, though not surprising since you are still quite immature." Then the man closed in on Rothus's face with a curious expression, much to the redhead's confusion as he leaned back. "Hm… I always theorized souls can even exist in inanimate objects, but to give that particular object's soul a human form is quite the achievement for Zelretch."

Rothus blinked owlishly at the mention of Zelretch and decided to ask, "Um, who are-"

"People call me the Magus of Flowers. But you can just call me Merlin, young lad. My, she is going to have quite the surprise when she realizes who you originally were." The man said with a wistful tone. "Ah right! Tell me your name before you or I forget."

Author's Note:

This is taking too long! I tried to make up an invasion scene and it feels like I'm smacking my head against the wall! It's. Just. So. Frustrating! I'll be dead before I can finish the Grand Order storyline alone! I want to rage! But I'm already raging! AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAARRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!

*Ahem* Sorry about that, lost myself in my frustrations again…

To all you readers of this story, I don't want to involve Kamen Rider Zi-O because I want him for the Lostbelts storyline. And I want to create a certain form of conflict between him and Record since Zi-O is technically stealing the histories of Kamen Riders while Record is the one who preserves them. If they meet, Rothus will try to kill Zi-O for manipulating the timeline for his own gain. Though this will result in a misunderstanding since it is the Time Jackers who are messing with the Riders' histories. So I'm not really ready to add Zi-O to the storyline.

And yes this Date Masamune is the one, the only, Date Masamune from Sengoku Basara. I decided to bring the guy in because there is a serious lack of Sengoku characters in the Fate Series. And this guy fits in with characters from the Sengoku universe being at the level of a Fate Servant. I mean the Shogun has a throne in freakin' space!

As for The Decayed... He's a Kamen Rider who is a wildcard like Kaito but even more dangerous than Decade Violent Emotion. I originally planned to introduce him in RWBY Gaiden. What was his role is up to you all to figure out and for me to reveal.

Note (4/29/2020): I decided to change DienDecade's name to The Decayed for some sort of strange naming sense since the original didn't feel... enough. If you don't like this name then I will change it back.
