*CLANK!*

“OW!” Shouted Sunset Shimmer Sparda aka Kamen Rider Symbol as her faceplate impacted the ground. “That hurt!” She tried to get up but sparks erupted from her backplate! “GAH! That blast wave must have had a lot of power in it, to do this much damage!”

“Sunset, Sunset.” Came a soft voice.

“Mother?” Questioned Symbol in disbelief as she pulled herself to her boots. “Where the heck am I?!” It looked like a version of Paradise, but the sky was red, however it didn’t feel like Limbo, also it was much more trashed and the buildings were partly on fire. “Gah!” Symbol clutched her side in pain.

“What is this place?” She ran up the stone pathway, past a burning tree when part of the house collapsed. She jumped to a pair of platforms. But just before she was going to jump to the third one: “I don’t think I can make that in active style. Swift wing sniper style would world better.” She flicked her wrist, then a second time. Before looking at her hand. “Why can’t I summon the swift style rings?!”

Suddenly the platform started to break! “Nuts! Active boost defend style will have to do!”

[MAGIC TOUCHE HENSHIN: BOOST DEFEND PLEASE!]

She switched forms and the Boost Grieves slammed into the ground, propelling her to the edge of the gap. “SHIT!” Sunset just managed to grab onto the edge of the floating platform. “This is why any swift wing style would have worked better!” Symbol pulled herself up, grunting in pain. She jumped to the main platform.

She grunted when sparks flew from her body as a pair of Lesser Stygians burst from the ground. Suddenly she realised something: “My amulet is gone!” The amulet was the last thing she had from her Mother in all but blood: Eva.

She glared at the demons. “Less than a minute here and I already have new toys to play with!”

[MAGICAL TOUCH SPELL: ACTIVE: C RANK SPELL!]

The first Lesser Stygian had no time to blink before a palm covered in lightning smashed into its abdomen and discharged the lightning through its body. The Active Blade took its head off a second later.

[MAGIC TOUCHIE HENSHIN: SLASHER AQUA PLEASE!]

Symbol twisted around the crossed the Slasher Tidal Claws, blocking a blow from the second Lesser Stygian. She kicked the demon back and slashed it several times with the weapons coming from the back of her hands.

[MAGIC TOUCHIE GO: AQUA MAGIC PLEASE!]

Then held the claws together, letting water get pulled from the air and gather in an orb between them before it fired forwards in a thin but sharp stream.

[MAGIC TOUCHIE HENSHIN: ICE AQUA PLEASE!]

[MAGIC TOUCHIE GO: ICE MAGIC PLEASE!]

Right before a blast of icy air froze the water into a javelin of ice that pierced the Lesser Stygian through the stomach making it explode.

Three more Lesser Stygians emerged from the ground.

[MAGICAL TOUCH HENSHIN: BURST PLEASE: CAST THE SPELL!]

[MAGICAL TOUCH SPELL: BURST: C RANK SPELL!]

Four fireballs smashed into one, setting it ablaze and throwing it back where it exploded.

The other two Lesser Stygian’s charged, bringing their nail clubs down on Symbol.

[MAGIC TOUCHIE HENSHIN: DUST MIRROR PLEASE!]

[MAGIC TOUCHIE GO: MIRROR MAGIC PLEASE!]

Only for them to slam into a wall of silver aura that reflected the kinetic force back at them, making the two of them stumble back.

[MAGIC TOUCHIE GO: DUST MAGIC PLEASE!]

Symbol held out one glove and fired a cloud of silver dust at the Stygians, sparks flew from their bodies wherever the dust hit, until they were both consumed by a large explosion.

Two more Lesser Stygian’s burst from the ground and charged.

“When will they ever learn?!”

[MAGICAL TOUCH HENSHIN: ACTIVE PLEASE: LETS GO!]

[MAGIC TOUCHIE HENSHIN: SLASHER BIND PLEASE!]

[MAGIC TOUCHIE GO: SLASHER BIND MAGIC PLEASE!]

Symbol fired a bind chain from each palm and they wrapped around the Lesser Stygians. With a grunt she pulled them right into the Slasher Bind claws, tearing them both in half before they could recover.

Suddenly Symbol took a slash across the backplate, drawing sparks from her back! “GAH!” She shouted, as she collapsed to one knee. Glancing over her shoulder guard she saw three Lesser Stygians had pulled themselves from the ground.

“I can’t believe I’m being pushed this far against Lesser Stygians!”

[MAGIC TOUCHIE HENSHIN: ICE BIND PLEASE!]

[MAGIC TOUCHIE GO: ICE BIND MAGIC PLEASE!]

Symbol held up her right hand, which glowed with orange and ice blue aura. Water in the air turned into a circle shaped chain of ice that grey smaller, binding the Lesser Stygian’s together.

[COME ON AND SLASH SHAKE HANDS: ICE BIND: SLASH STRIKE!]

The Active Blade segmented into a whip like sword that froze over with ice. Symbol stabbed it forwards several times, making the three Stygians get consumed by an explosion.

Suddenly, another part of the house crumbled away, taking the stairs that went around the outside of it away. Symbol ran up what was left of the stairs and through a door. She paused when she saw a younger version of herself fighting her two brothers back when they were children. “So this is paradise.” She muttered.

“Give up Sunset?” Teased younger Dante.

“You can’t win!” Shouted younger Vergil.

“No!” Deadpanned younger Sunset as she knocked her brothers to the ground, disarming them.

“Those were the times.” Muttered Sunset sadly as she ran down the hall.

“Poor Sunset, are you lost?” Came Dante’s mocking voice.

“I don’t need to speak to a demonic illusion!” Shouted Symbol, as she followed the hall to the left and used a bind chain to pull a platform close enough to jump to. Which she did, just reaching the edge of it. “I’ll be happy when I can use swift style again!” She growled.

[MAGIC TOUCHIE HENSHIN: BOOST BIND PLEASE!]

Changing style’s she leapt to the next platform and then up to a ledge, pulling herself up with one hand. Symbol ran down the hall, came to a dead end and hopped through a hole in the floor. She followed the tunnel around into a room with a green circle painted on the floor.

A demonic rock spire sprang up blocking the door. “Why do I feel like I’m being watched?” Her instincts screamed at her, Sunset drew the Active Blade and slashed behind herself, hitting smoke as ravens flew past her!

The smoke turned into a fleshy demon, that had bandages around its body and its head was a goat like skull. Also the ravens flew around it. Symbol raised a lens. “A wisp? I haven’t fought one of you in a long time!”

The demon returned to its gas like state.

[COME ON AND SHOOT SHAKE HANDS: ACTIVE: SHOOTING STRIKE!]

A ball of red lightning built up in front of the Active Rifle. Symbol pulled the trigger and the ball turned into several silver bullets that smashed into the demon, trailing red lightning. The Wisp wailed as it returned to its solid state.

[MAGICAL TOUCH HENSHIN: BURST PLEASE: CAST THE SPELL!]

[MAGIC TOUCHIE HENSHIN: DUST RADIATION PLEASE!]

[MAGIC TOUCHIE GO: DUST RADIATION MAGIC!]

Symbol held her hands together and a sphere of mist like dust and burning radiation appeared around the demon, it glowed as the Wisp roared in pain before the ball exploded!

“Thats that done.” Symbol then made a big mistake, she took her lens off an opponent before confirming it was beaten! The badly injured Wisp burst out of the smoke and slashed at her backplate, making sparks and micro explosions burst off it!

“ARGH!” Shouted Sunset in pain. The Wisp pinned her to a wall by her throat! “No choice!”

[MAGICAL TOUCH HENSHIN: ADVANCED PLEASE! TO THE NEXT LEVEL!]

The advanced glyph appeared in front of her and forced the demon back, it moved through the Kamen Rider transforming her into the advanced style. “That last part was new.”

She smashed a fist into the demon’s face only for it to turn back into gas and avoid the blow. It flowed around her, turning parts of its body solid for a split second to kick or slash the Kamen Rider, sending sparks flying, then turning them back to gas before she could hit it.

“Damn it!” Swore Sunset as she was sent rolling from a kick to her side. She rolled back to her feet but sparks were still flying like blood from her body. “Shit! I need to be able to hit it!” Suddenly a new ring appeared on the driver’s ring finger. It was silver, with the gem in the centre of it being red.

“Please lets this work!” Symbol slammed her hand down on the right shift lever, making the driver’s hand author flip to the right.

[MAGIC TOUCHIE HENSHIN: ADVANCED 01: BREAKER!]

A red version of the advanced glyph appeared in front of Symbol and passed through her as the driver played an aggressive techno melody.

Sunset’s forearm armour, the orbs in her shoulder armour and the front of her shin armour turned red. The orb in the centre of her chestplate turned red, with a black 01 in the centre of it and the upper right light in her chestplate turned red. Now she was Kamen Rider Symbol advanced breaker style!

“Wow!” Symbol looked at her hands. “Wait a minute! I’m still in control! Guess that must be the effect of this new ring!” Suddenly, the Wisp was on her again! She pressed the driver’s right shift lever once, making the breaker glyph flash across the driver.

[TOUCH TO CAST THE NEXT LEVEL: BREAKER C TIER SPELL!]

Red aura covered her left hand and she lashed out with a punch, that slammed into the Wisp as it solidified for an attack, it was sent flying back with sparks coming from its body before it exploded.

Three Lesser Stygians burst from the ground.

[TOUCH TO CAST THE NEXT LEVEL: BREAKER B TIER SPELL!]

And each were elbowed by an elbow covered in glowing red aura that sent them all flying and made them explode. Sunset/Symbol had barely done that when a second Wisp appeared and rocketed towards her.

[TOUCH TO CAST THE NEXT LEVEL: BREAKER A TIER SPELL!]

It phased through one red aura covered fist, but as it turned solid to strike its face was given a meeting with a second aura covered fist. Their love was so great that the demon’s neck snapped from jealousy making it shatter.

Another Lesser Stygian came out of the ground. “Oh please!” Sunset/Symbol walked towards it, when lightning sparked across her body and she collapsed to one knee! “There must be a time limit!”

[MAGICAL TOUCH HENSHIN: ACTIVE PLEASE: LETS GO!]

[MAGIC TOUCHIE HENSHIN: ICE DEFEND PLEASE!]

Sunset/Symbol quickly got the Arctic Defend Guard between herself and the demon’s club. She pressed the right shift lever once, making the ice glyph appear in front of the driver.

[MAGIC TOUCHIE GO: ICE MAGIC PLEASE!]

Ice crept along the shield and froze the demon’s club followed by the Lesser Stygian itself. Sunset/Symbol then smashed the shield’s edge into the frozen demon making it shatter.

With all the demon’s gone, the demonic spire returned into the ground. “About time!” Sunset/Symbol ran through the door and down the hall, following it to the right and out a door.

“Sunset, my daughter. You’re, you’re dead!” Came Eva’s voice from an angelic energy orb.

“Nice to hear from you too Mom.” Hissed Sunset/Symbol as she clutched her side in pain, all of that fighting had just increased the damage from the blast wave.

“You’re trapped here, just like me! But you can still escape, you still have a chance. The light! Find the light and get out of here!”

“The light? OK.” Replied Sunset/Symbol.

[MAGIC TOUCHIE HENSHIN: SLASHER BIND PLEASE!]

[MAGIC TOUCHIE GO: SLASHER MAGIC PLEASE!]

Sunset/Symbol gathered green aura around the Slasher Bind Claws, then threw them forwards, sending out six waves of aura in the shape of bind chains. They slammed into a Stygian, sending it flying in a loud *BOOM!*

[MAGIC TOUCHIE GO: BIND MAGIC PLEASE!]

Sunset/Symbol fired the Slasher Bind Claws off, each was attached to her arm via a bind chain, they stabbed into the demon, before the Kamen Rider flicked her wrists and the claws ripped the Stygian in half.

[MAGIC TOUCHIE HENSHIN: BOOST AQUA PLEASE!]

Symbol jumped to another floating island.

[MAGIC TOUCHIE GO: BOOST MAGIC PLEASE!]

Then kicked a Stygian, firing a blast of water from the Aqua Boost Grieves, sending it flying over the edge for an environmental kill!

[MAGICAL TOUCH HENSHIN: BURST PLEASE: CAST THE SPELL!]

[MAGICAL TOUCH SPELL: VERY NICE: BURST: S RANK SPELL: THE BEST!]

With a flick of her wrist, Symbol teleported an island closer, then jumped to it. Before jumping to another.

[MAGICAL TOUCH SPELL: VERY NICE: BURST: S RANK SPELL: THE BEST!]

It took two more jumps before she had to teleport another island close enough to jump to.

[MAGICAL TOUCH HENSHIN: ACTIVE PLEASE: LETS GO!]

[MAGIC TOUCHE HENSHIN: BOOST DEFEND PLEASE!]

“This is getting silly.” Growled Sunset/Symbol as she jumped to a rock, then back to the main part of the building. She ran through a door. “Oh come on!” She jumped to the next island, when five Shielded Pathos appeared. “Oh great! Something to take out my frustrations on!”

[MAGIC TOUCHIE GO: DEFEND MAGIC PLEASE!]

Symbol blocked several arrows with the Defend Guard, then threw it at the demon’s. Since their shields only blocked attacks from the front they were cut in half by the weapon as it spun around in an arc, hitting them from the sides. The shield cut a glowing line through the centre of the demon’s, as Sunset/Symbol caught it the five Shielded Bathos’ exploded.

Three Lesser Stygians burst from the ground, hoping to assist the Shielded Bathos, but Sunset/Symbol had taken them down so fast they had no time!

[MAGIC TOUCHIE HENSHIN: ICE BIND PLEASE!]

[MAGIC TOUCHIE GO: ICE MAGIC PLEASE!]

Sunset/Symbol lassoed the three demons with a chain that was made of ice making them freeze over.

[MAGIC TOUCHIE GO: BIND MAGIC PLEASE!]

Sunset/Symbol cut the chain and speared one of the Stygians with another chain made of ice, before yanking the demon towards herself, pulling the other two with it.

[MAGICAL TOUCH SPELL: VERY NICE: ACTIVE: S RANK SPELL: THE BEST!]

Right into a roundhouse kick from a foot covered in red lightning, making them explode. Three more Lesser Stygians burst from the ground and a Pathos appeared in the air. “Air units goes down first!”

[MAGIC TOUCHIE HENSHIN: BOOST BIND PLEASE!]

Sunset/Symbol jumped into the air and booted the Pathos in the face.

[MAGIC TOUCHIE GO: BOOST MAGIC PLEASE!]

She kicked off it, backflipping, then fired a chain from the Boost Bind Grieves, using it to pull herself back to the demon and smashed it between the ground and her boot.

Landing back on the ground, she ducked under a blow from a Lesser Stygian, then booted it in the face.

[MAGIC TOUCHIE GO: VERY NICE: BOOST BIND MAGIC: THE BEST!]

Each Boost Bind Grieve fired a blast of orange aura that took the shape of a bind chain. They smashed into the demon and it was consumed by an explosion.

Sunset/Symbol rolled out of the way as another Lesser Stygian brought it's club down on where her helmet had just been. She flipped back to her feet and jumped into the air, just avoiding a blow from the third Lesser Stygian.

[COME ON AND SLASH SHAKE HANDS: BOOST BIND: SLASH STRIKE!]

The Active Blade was covered in orange and purple aura, before Symbol thrust it downwards, it extended and stabbed the demon through the top of its skull. The Lesser Stygian sparked and was consumed by a large explosion.

The Final Lesser Stygian charged at Symbol, who ducked out of the way and kicked it over the ledge as it ran past for another environmental kill.

Suddenly, another floating island smashed into the island that Sunset/Symbol was on, making it start to splinter then shatter. She quickly jumped to another island, then another, eager to get as far away from the one she had been on as possible. “Not again!” Shouted the Kamen Rider as two much larger islands moved to crush the one that she was standing on! She jumped to a ledge on another island, before it started shaking. She jumped to a vine that was sticking out of a third island, then to a rock, off it and to a second rock, then from it to another island that held the main gate of paradise.

Sunset/Symbol jumped towards the gates, when they slammed shut! “NO!” She shouted before she crashed into them faceplate first.

All of a suddenly, ten Stygians and three Wisps burst from the ground. “No choice!”

[MAGICAL TOUCH HENSHIN: ADVANCED PLEASE! TO THE NEXT LEVEL!]

[MAGIC TOUCHIE HENSHIN: ADVANCED 01: BREAKER!]

Sunset/Symbol grabbed one Lesser Stygian and threw it into another.

[TOUCH TO CAST THE NEXT LEVEL: BREAKER C TIER SPELL!]

She ran forwards and rammed her aura covered fist into them, out of the impact point came a beam of tightly compact red aura that destroyed both of them and travelled a short distance before detonating and killing another two in the blast wave.

[TOUCH TO CAST THE NEXT LEVEL: BREAKER A TIER SPELL!]

Sunset/Symbol covered both fists in red aura and punched out sideways, one fists smashed into a Stygian, sending it flying into another demon, they were both consumed by an explosion, while the other fist smashed into a Wisp’s jaw, sending it flying back. Suddenly, Sunset/Symbol was attacked from behind by another Wisp! “GAH!” She stumbled forwards as sparks exploded from her back. “Take this!”

[TOUCH TO CAST THE NEXT LEVEL: VERY NICE: BREAKER: S TEIR SPELL: THE BEST!]

Red aura covered her left foot and she round housed the Wisp, it was sent flying back into the Wisp that she had hit earlier and they both exploded. The roundhouse had also caught four Stygian, removing their heads.

[TOUCH TO CAST THE NEXT LEVEL: BREAKER A TIER SPELL!]

Red aura covered both of her knees and elbows as Sunset/Symbol jumped forwards giving the last Wisp a pair of elbow strikes, then pulling its head into her knee, before jumping into the air and slamming a falling knee strike, both of them fell to their knees before they were consumed by a giant explosion.

Paradise’s gates swung open and Sunset/Symbol ran towards them. “Sunset, wait!” She turned back and saw Kat standing there. “Your in danger!” Suddenly, Dante appeared behind her, but he was completely chalk white. “Hey Sunset.” He pulled out Rebellion made an attempt to stab it through Sunset/Symbol.

[MAGICAL TOUCH HENSHIN: ACTIVE PLEASE: LETS GO!]

[MAGIC TOUCHIE HENSHIN: SLASHER AQUA PLEASE!]

She leapt out of the way, only to realize that she had fallen off the edge! “NO! NOOOOOO!” Shouted the Kamen Rider as she plummeted down.
