Penelope nods at Contagion as she pulls out a Trigger Card, labelled 'Fortune'.
"Cover me!"As the gas-mask clad hero covers Penelope, the Rider slots the card across their belt.
"Final Trigger: Fortune! Rider Kick!"Contagion's shots eliminate a few of the mooks in Penelope's way, giving her a clear path.
Pluton grapples and pummels the gorgon monster, which is being held in place by Idou's Stand. Mint Gale Requiem maintains it as long as possible, but before Idou can jump at its eye, the gorgon monster breaks the hold on it and lashes out with its tentacles, sending the two- and Idou as a result- flying back as it regains its composure, preparing to attack it. Before it can attack, however, Pluton stands up and thrusts the gorgon down with a kick, using his arm to hold the thing still, as his quick eyes spot another Rider running towards them, presumably an ally. Mint Gale grabs its other side. This leaves it open to-
"Sealing Gate: Exalted Sword!"TEAM THEME OVERRIDE:
~Penelope's Theme (Boundless Life)~~Idou's Theme (Provisional) (Stardust Crusaders)~~Mirage's Theme (Id: Hope)~~Pluton's Theme (We're All to Blame)~An echoing cry resounds through the fight, as the Rider in blue with the golden sword gets up. In a second, he's rushing at the gorgon with sword extended, before blasting it with a golden ray from the sword. The blast holds it up in the air, leaving it trapped with golden chains wrapped around its limbs. Pluton's lasers continue hailing onto it.
"Now!" The sword-wielding Rider calls to them.
Idou seizes the opportunity, recovering quickly as he sees Penelope bolt past him, jumping into the air to deliver a flying side kick to the gorgon! Of course not to be outdone, Idou joins in on the Rider Kick with his own, Ripple-enhanced feet, as the Rider's feet hit its chest and the swordsman's its eye.
Penelope's lands first, causing a shattering explosion that breaks the chains and sends the Armored Rider into the ground with the force. She manages to barely recover, as the beast is sent flying into the air, but it isn't over yet, The gorgon flails, capable of still moving and attempting to lash out-
But then Idou's kick lands, sending the forces of the Ripple straight into its already weakened eye. With a final, mortally wounded screech, glowing cracks begin to appear across the gorgon's body, as it realises what exactly is happening to it. A final push by the other two attackers pushes it straight into oblivion.
The gorgon explodes in mid-air, and Idou lands perfectly on the ground, planting his sword just right and posing magnificently.
Meanwhile, the others, still clearing out the remaining black warriors turn on the hawk monster. Haruka crouches behind her shield, bluish threads spreading out to form her magical dolls, who immediately start attacking and assisting Victoria in covering the Puella Magi, as the mooks are whittled down to one or two.
Evridiki and the mantis Rider are cutting their own path, with a sawblade and a pair of sickles turning the mooks to black mist. The mantis Rider stabs one of the warriors in the head who managed to escape their path of death, saving the medic from a nasty stab wound in the side. Evridiki almost immediately returns the favour with a painful gut-stab onto one of the others who the mantis Rider missed. They notice that the mooks are beginning to be whittled down, and that soon, only a handful and the hawk monster remain.
Wilson and his robot are also nearby, mopping up the remainder.
The hawk monster is held down by the ogre Rider and Yamal, screeching and scratching at the two as Asuka soars at it, borne aloft by Parov Stelar! With a forceful thrust, she slams her whipsword into the bullet hole left by Simuna's shot, leaving it open for-
Uh oh.
The hawk's wings flap suddenly, emitting a burst of sudden heat.
Asuka, Yamal and the ogre Rider are thrown off, their clothes smoldering as the hawk monster flies upwards, the air around it shimmering with heat. It dives directly for Simuna talons-first!
This may be time to
finish the fight right here, right now!
The boy walks off, as 6AR, Tourmaline and Dackly look for the memento collector before heading off to catch up with the group.
However, on their way, they see a man sitting on a bench near the road, seemingly panicking, judging by his frazzled hair and the papers in his hands being scrunched up. Oh, and the muttering, too.
