*THUD!*

“...Why does this hurt more each time?” Groaned Sunset/Symbol from where she lay faceplate down on the ground. She climbed back to her feet. “When I get my hands on that fake Dante and Kat. I’m gonna gut the both of them with the blunt side of the Active Blade!”

Suddenly, a white version of Vergil appeared in front of her. “Look at you.” He spat out.

“Who are you?” Asked Sunset/Symbol as she got back to her boots.

“You have failed. Your father gave you everything and now you have nothing.”

“At least my brothers are still alive. I’d rather have nothing than either of them be dead!”

“Everyone you care about, everyone you love has turned their backs on you. How does it feel?”

Sunset/Symbol gave him a flat look. “Do I look stupid? You could at least get the colour right if your going to copy Vergil. No one I care about turned their backs on me!”

The Vergil copy continued to drone on. “You can’t change the past. But what would you do if you had another chance?”

“The same thing!” Suddenly Sunset/Symbol’s world was consumed by a flash of light. When her len’s cleared, she saw she was outside a block of flats. “Now where am I? What was up with that copy?” Looking to the right she saw Kat standing there. “Kat?” Questioned Sunset/Symbol, despite the fact she knew it wasn’t Kat.

She turned to the Kamen Rider. “”No, Sunset! Stay back!”

Sunset/Symbol heard a loud roar and saw a four armed demon standing there. It turned and ran after Kat, who fled.

“Sunset, help me please!”

That was enough for Sunset/Symbol to forget this wasn’t Kat. “Kat! I’m coming!” A barrier blocked her way.

[MAGICAL TOUCH HENSHIN: SWIFT PLEASE: DASH AWAY!]

All of a sudden the swift ring appeared on the driver’s index finger and Sunset/Symbol transformed into swift style. “I’ve got swift style back! Nice!” Shouted the Kamen Rider. She pulled out the Swift Blaster and opened fire on the four Lesser Stygians.

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

Five orbs of yellow aura appeared around her and shot at the three demons. Destroying one and injuring the other three.

[MAGIC TOUCHIE HENSHIN: WING TURBO PLEASE!]

[MAGIC TOUCHIE GO: TURBO MAGIC PLEASE!]

Then the Turbo Engine Cannons fired a pair of wind bullets that destroyed two of the Lesser Stygians.

[MAGICAL TOUCH SPELL: SWIFT: B RANK SPELL!]

Sunset/Symbol blurred out of the way an attack from the final Lesser Stygian and stabbed it repeatedly with the Swift Dagger, until it fell over dead.

[MAGIC TOUCHIE HENSHIN: WING ZOOMER PLEASE!]

[MAGIC TOUCHIE GO: WING ZOOMER MAGIC PLEASE!]

Both of the Flight Wing Blades on Sunset/Symbol’s legs flapped and ten spheres of wind appeared around her. “Shoot!” They fired themselves at the demon’s, destroying one of the Lesser Stygians, damaging the other and wounding the Stygians.

The demon’s charged. Sunset/Symbol avoided one hit by ducking under it,

Then flipped over another blow, she jumped over the Lesser Stygian at slashed it in half with the Flight Wing Blades.

[MAGIC TOUCHIE HENSHIN: BLADE ZOOMER PLEASE!]

Sunset/Symbol fired several buzzsaws.

[MAGIC TOUCHIE GO: ZOOMER MAGIC PLEASE!]

Then vanished in a blur of speed when a Stygian attacked her from behind.

The Stygians looked around for their prey.

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

[MAGIC TOUCHIE GO: BLADE MAGIC PLEASE!]

When a giant buzz saw that was surrounded by five orbs of aura cut into them! Sparks flew from their bodies as the orbs exploded, they were each consumed in a giant explosion.

Five more Stygians burst from the ground.

[MAGIC TOUCHIE HENSHIN: WING SNIPER PLEASE!]

[MAGIC TOUCHIE GO: VERY NICE: WING SNIPER MAGIC: THE BEST!]

Before being destroyed by the rain of aura bolts, aura plasma and aura projectiles.

The barrier vanished and the Kamen Rider ran through the archway it had been blocking. Looking up she saw the demon chasing Kat on another island. ‘How did she get up there?’

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

[MAGIC TOUCHIE HENSHIN: BOOST BIND PLEASE!]

She pulled an island closer and jumped to it. Then jumped up to a ledge on the side of a building and pulled another island closer. It looked like a staircase, which Sunset/Symbol jumped to and ran up.

[MAGICAL TOUCH HENSHIN: SWIFT PLEASE: DASH AWAY!]

[MAGIC TOUCHIE HENSHIN: WING SNIPER PLEASE!]

“Boy am I thankful I’ve got this back.” Muttered Sunset/Symbol as she flapped her Flight Wings, easily making it to another island.

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

[MAGIC TOUCHIE HENSHIN: BOOST BIND PLEASE!]

Then jumped to a lamp post and to another island. She hopped up a ledge when three Bathos appeared!

[MAGICAL TOUCH HENSHIN: SWIFT PLEASE: DASH AWAY!]

[MAGIC TOUCHIE HENSHIN: BLADE ZOOMER PLEASE!]

[MAGIC TOUCHIE GO: VERY NICE: BLADE ZOOMER MAGIC PLEASE: THE BEST!]

Right before Sunset/Symbol fired several buzzsaws at them, all of which exploded, destroying the demons.

Sunset/Symbol had no time to rest as a trio of Bathos and a pair of Lesser Stygian burst from the ground.

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

[MAGIC TOUCHIE HENSHIN: BOOST AQUA PLEASE!]

Sunset/Symbol jumped into the air, avoiding a bomb from both of the Bathos. They exploded on the ground, sending one Lesser Stygian over the edge of the island, for a friendly kill.

[MAGIC TOUCHIE GO: AQUA MAGIC PLEASE!]

Sunset/Symbol spun around, firing a blast of water out of each Aqua Boost Grieves, cutting all of the Bathos in half.

[MAGIC TOUCHIE GO: BOOST MAGIC PLEASE!]

She landed back on the ground and booted the last Lesser Stygian, sending it flying, before it was consumed by an explosion.

Sunset/Symbol was suddenly, hit in the back by a Wisp that had appeared, three Lesser Stygians joining it in the beatdown. “Enough is enough!”

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

[MAGIC TOUCHIE HENSHIN: ADVANCED 02: BLOCKER!]

“What the-?!” Shouted Sunset/Symbol as a blue version of the advanced glyph appeared in front of her, forcing the demon’s back instead of the red glyph she had been expecting. It moved through her as the driver played a slow techno melody.

Her shin armour, forearm armour, the orbs in her shoulder armour and the circle in the centre of her chestplate turned dark blue. The circle now bore the numbers 02 in black and the lower right light turned dark blue. On the ring finger of the driver’s hand author was a ring that was identical to the advanced and breaker rings, except it’s gem was coloured dark blue.

“So this is advanced blocker style? Just how many sub styles do I have in advanced?!” Suddenly, the Wisp slashed her across the chestplate, it still drew sparks, but it was a tiny amount compared to what happened in breaker.

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

She swiped her hand through the air, leaving a trail of blue energy that formed into a shield, blocking all three Lesser Stygians. With a wave of her hand the shield forced the demon’s off the edge of the island for three environmental kills.

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

The Wisp turned solid to strike her, only to be crushed under a huge chub of blue aura, its crushed corpse was consumed by an explosion shortly after.

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

“Nice!” Sunset/Symbol ran through the portal archway and after Kat.

[MAGIC TOUCHIE HENSHIN: BOOST BIND PLEASE!]

She ran off a wall, then jumped to an island, before using a bind chain to pull another island close, which she jumped to. Then Sunset/Symbol leapt up to the underside of another island, turned in mind air so that her feet were facing it and then jumped off onto another island.

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

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

Then she teleported down to a street. Before vanishing in a flash of purple and reappearing on the side of a building. She teleported off that and onto another island that was a bit higher up.

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

[MAGIC TOUCHIE HENSHIN: BOOST BIND PLEASE!]

Sunset/Symbol quickly hopped up to the next island, when a Ravager appeared! “I hate these things!” Shouted Sunset/Symbol remembering that the first one she encountered nearly killed Dante.

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

[MAGIC TOUCHIE HENSHIN: STEAM MIRROR PLEASE!]

[MAGIC TOUCHIE GO: MIRROR MAGIC PLEASE!]

She flung up one glove and a wall of steam appeared in front of the Ravager. It gave a roar as it ploughed through the wall, but came out badly burnt.

[MAGIC TOUCHIE GO: MIRROR MAGIC PLEASE!]

The Mirror Reflector glowed as Sunset/Symbol got it between herself and the chainsaw. The weapon impacted the defence, making sparks fly, before the force was thrown back at the demon, tearing it into pieces.

[MAGIC TOUCHIE HENSHIN: DUST RADIATION PLEASE!]

[MAGIC TOUCHIE GO: RADIATION MAGIC PLEASE!]

Sunset/Symbol fired five balls of radiation from her hand, that made the Ravager explode on impact.

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

[COME ON AND SLASH SHAKE HANDS: ACTIVE: SLASH STRIKE!]

Red lightning covered the Active Blade as Sunset/Symbol slashed through three Lesser Stygians in a single swing. Sparks bleed from the glowing red line in their bodies before they fell back and were consumed by large explosions.

[MAGIC TOUCHIE HENSHIN: SLASHER AQUA PLEASE!]

[MAGIC TOUCHIE GO: SLASHER MAGIC PLEASE!]

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

Red lightning covered the Slasher Tidal claws, before Sunset/Symbol shot forwards so fast that she vanished! The Kamen Rider reappeared behind the Stygians, before sparks exploded from their bodies as they fell to pieces, literally.

Sunset/Symbol’s lenses went wide when she heard the sound of a chainsaw behind her. “Oh nuts!”

[MAGIC TOUCHE HENSHIN: BOOST DEFEND PLEASE!]

She leapt into the air as a Ravager passed under her.

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

Sunset/Symbol jumped forwards and rammed the glow Defend Guard into the Ravager’s back, sending the demon flying into a wall.

Suddenly, she was stuck across the back by a Stygian, making her stagger right into a blow from a second Stygian. “Why you!”

[MAGIC TOUCHIE GO: BOOST DEFEND MAGIC PLEASE!]

She jumped into the air and kicked down on the three Stygians several times, until they all exploded, which took about a minute of constant kicks.

Suddenly, the Ravager was on her again! It slashed her across the back, drawing sparks from her backplate. “Enough is enough!”

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

Sunset/Symbol coated her foot in red lightning and spun around, kicking the Ravager in the face with the back of her heel, it was sent flying before it exploded.

[MAGIC TOUCHIE HENSHIN: SLASHER DEFEND PLEASE!]

Seeing a pair of Ravagers burst from the ground, Sunset/Symbol turned into her active slasher defend style. She glanced at her weapon and did a double take. “Make up your mind already!” In her hand was the Slasher Defend Saber.

One of the Ravager set itself on fire and charged.

[MAGIC TOUCHIE GO: DEFEND MAGIC PLEASE!]

Sunset/Symbol projected a wall of aura from the Slasher Defend Saber, she used the wall to force the demon’s weapon to the side and slash it across the waist, drawing sparks as the Ravager ran past.

The other Ravager set itself alight and slashed at Sunset/Symbol, she rolled out of the way.

[MAGIC TOUCHIE GO: SLASHER MAGIC PLEASE!]

Then covered her weapon in green aura, slashing the demon with the three blades as it was recovering. Sunset/Symbol hopped over the other Ravager as it charged past her. It rammed into its fellow demon and them fell over in a tangle of limbs.

[MAGIC TOUCHIE GO: SLASHER DEFEND MAGIC PLEASE!]

Then got up just in time for Sunset/Symbol to spear them with the Defend Slasher Saber, then pulled it up ripped three vertical lines through each of them.

Sunset/Symbol ran towards the gateway arch and through it.

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

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

She teleported between the buildings, until she reached a disk shaped island with a portal in the centre of it.

Kat was running towards the portal, she screamed as the demon lunged at her.

“Over here!” Shouted Sunset/Symbol.

The demon stopped and turned its attention to the Kamen Rider.

Kat took the opportunity to run through the portal.

The demon smashed it’s fist down on the island, making it start to splinter and come apart, then jumped through the portal.

[MAGICAL TOUCH HENSHIN: SWIFT PLEASE: DASH AWAY!]

[MAGIC TOUCHIE HENSHIN: BLADE TURBO PLEASE!]

[MAGIC TOUCHIE GO: BLADE MAGIC PLEASE!]

Sunset/Symbol held up a hand and generated a giant buzzsaw that was covered in wind, she threw it at a pair of shielded Bathos, sparks flew as it cut through their shields, then the demons.

[MAGIC TOUCHIE GO: TURBO MAGIC PLEASE!]

She fired several smaller wind covered buzzsaws, they bounced of the air and got around behind the demon, cutting it apart.

Three more demons appeared, two Shielded Bathos and a Wisp.

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

[MAGIC TOUCHIE HENSHIN: ADVANCED 01: BREAKER!]

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

An red aura charged elbow smashed one’s shield, then a second elbow sent it shooting off into the distance where it exploded. The other Shielded Bathos tried to protect itself from a red aura covered knee, only for the shield to shatter and it to be sent flying into the ground. It looked up just in time for a second knee to smash its head in.

She turned to the Wisp. “Now for you!”

[MAGIC TOUCHIE HENSHIN: ADVANCED 02: BLOCKER!]

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

Sunset/Symbol jumped into the air, covering her right fist with blue aura and slammed it into the ground. Out of the impact point came a shockwave of blue energy that vaporized the Wisp.

Two more Wisps appeared. “I’ve had enough! Closing Hellgate!”

[TOUCH TO CAST THE NEXT LEVEL: VERY NICE: BLOCKER: S TIER SPELL: THE BEST!]

Blue aura covered both of her fists as the Wisp’s attacked. The first was given a hard punch to the face, its skull cracked and it was consumed by an explosion. The other roared in rage and attempted to avenge it’s brother, only for Sunset/Symbol’s other fist to slam into its stomach, sparks flew from the impact point as it was sent flying back and exploded.

She jumped through the portal and out the other side into chaos. Flaming rocks were falling from the sky and smashing into the floating island, yet not damaging them. “I don’t want to find out if they’ll hurt me.” Muttered Sunset/Symbol.

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

[MAGIC TOUCHIE HENSHIN: BOOST BIND PLEASE!]

She jumped to a rock, then to an island.

Then to another island. “Woah!” And had to throw herself to the side to avoid a meteor. “This is getting silly!” She jumped to a flight of floating stairs, ran up them, then jumped to a large island that had a church on it.

[MAGICAL TOUCH HENSHIN: SWIFT PLEASE: DASH AWAY!]

[MAGIC TOUCHIE HENSHIN: ARROW ZOOMER PLEASE!]

Sunset/Symbol jumped back as a club scythed through where her helmet had just been.

[MAGIC TOUCHIE GO: ARROW MAGIC PLEASE!]

Sunset/Symbol fired a swarm of green arrows from her forearm mounted bow, called the Zoomer Bow, they blasted right through the Lesser Stygian’s destroying all three of them.

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

[MAGIC TOUCHIE HENSHIN: STEAM MIRROR PLEASE!]

[MAGIC TOUCHIE GO: STEAM MIRROR MAGIC PLEASE!]

Two blades of silver mirror like aura formed from her wrists and Sunset/Symbol ran forwards, cutting through the chainsaws of two Ravagers and then through the demon’s chests. They fell to their knees as the Kamen Rider pulled the blades out, deactivating them and walking away as the demon’s exploded.

She was just about to reach for the door. “Oh come one!” When five Lesser Stygians and a single Stygian came from the ground.

[MAGIC TOUCHIE HENSHIN: PETROLEUM RUST PLEASE!]

[MAGIC TOUCHIE GO: PETROLEUM MAGIC PLEASE!]

She fired a burst of black liquid from her hand that soaked the demons to the bone.

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

[COME ON AND SLASH SHAKE HANDS: ACTIVE: SLASH STRIKE!]

“Time to end this.” Sunset/Symbol tapped her lightning covered blade to the oil and it was set alight. The fire travelled back to the demons and quickly set them on fire. Within seconds of roaring in pain the Lesser Stygians had been killed and the Stygian was badly damaged.

[MAGIC TOUCHIE HENSHIN: SLASHER AQUA PLEASE!]

[MAGIC TOUCHIE GO: SLASHER AQUA MAGIC PLEASE!]

Water charged with red lightning covered the Slasher Tidal Claws as Sunset/Symbol dashed at the Stygian. It had no time to bring its sword up, before she crossed, then uncross her arms, carving three X’s into the demon’s chest before it fell over and was consumed by an explosion.

Suddenly, a pair of Stygians and a single Wisp burst from the ground. “I don’t have time for this! I’ve got to get to Kat!”

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

[MAGIC TOUCHIE HENSHIN: ADVANCED 01: BREAKER!]

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

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

Sunset/Symbol charged both her fists with aura, the left one was covered in yellow aura and the right fist with red aura. She punched both of the Stygians so hard that cracks spread through their bodies before they exploded, then jumped up slammed the Wisp into the ground. She pinned it with her legs and started punching it repeatedly, until it was consumed by an explosion.

[MAGIC TOUCHIE HENSHIN: ADVANCED 02: BLOCKER!]

“Are you kidding me?!” Shouted Sunset/Symbol as she threw up her arms, blocking a chainsaw from a pair of Ravager’s that were coming at her from the side with each hand. Her lenses widened when she saw another Wisp coming at her. “What is with this crazy place?!” The demon started slashing her across the chestplate, drawing sparks from it. “That is it!” Sunset/Symbol threw her right arm up, forcing the Ravager that she had been blocking away. Then forced the other Ravager back and kicked the Wisp away. She swapped the blocker ring for the breaker ring and pressed the right shift lever.

[MAGIC TOUCHIE HENSHIN: ADVANCED 01: BREAKER!]

The breaker glyph appeared in front of her and moved through Sunset/Symbol, she pressed the right shift lever four times. “Time to end this!”

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

Red aura covered her left leg as the three times came at her from three directions. Sunset/Symbol gave a rider smirk. “Breaker spin!” She spun around, unleashing a roundhouse kick that caught the two Ravager’s in the chins and the Wisp in the chest. All three were sent shooting back with red cracks spreading through their bodies from where the kick hit. Sparks bleed from them as they were each consumed by a large explosion.

Sunset/Symbol removed the advanced and breaker rings from the driver, then slide the active ring onto it’s middle finger, before pressing the left shift lever, making the hand author flip to the left.

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

She booted open the church door, just in time to see the four armed demon corner ‘Kat.’

“Sunset!” She shouted.

“Kat!” Yelled Sunset/Symbol.

The demon picked up the girl and threw her onto the floor, before running through a portal.

Sunset/Symbol ran up to ‘Kat’ “Kat! Are you ok?”

She got back to her feet, as a dark aura appeared around her. “I’m fine, but your dead!”

“Oh great, another demon disguised as my friend.” Stated the Kamen Rider flatly, as she pressed the left shift lever once, making the active glyph appear in front of the driver.

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

Lightning gathered in her palm, making ‘Kat’ back up. “Wait! You would kill your old friend?!”

“If you were the real Kat, then no. But since your just a demon impersonating her, YES!” Sunset/Symbol slammed her palm into the fake Kat’s chest, making red lightning course through her body, destroying her.
