Odin's Advent [Bendytimed to after the announcement about the Melting Clock]

[darknight-ren.livejournal.com]

There was something wrong with Ren. It was becoming more and more clear to him. He didn't know just what it was, but the more he thought about it, the more he realized things just seemed...off. Like collapsing the week before. There was no reason he should have fallen or why his heart should have stopped. Sure, he'd had an intense training simulation not long before it, but he'd fought much harder than that back home, during the battle. He must have.

In one hand, he was clutching Eri's ring, desperately clinging to it though he knew she was gone...though something in his memory didn't seem to add up, and he couldn't figure out why he'd gone out during Shore Leave and bought a new chain for the ring if he knew everything was beyond hope.

In his other hand was an Advent Card deck. But it wasn't his Knight deck--the one he'd given to Phillip just after he'd collapsed, agreeing to take it easy until they could figure out what was wrong with him. This deck was golden, emblazoned with a phoenix.

It was the strongest deck in the Rider War, the greatest power of any Rider: Kamen Rider Odin.

And it was Ren's.

Battle: Outside

Staggering outside, Phillip grimaced as Odin formed. "We have to stop him, before he uses that Time Vent of his!" exclaimed Phillip.

He was holding his arm, grimacing in pain as he staggered towards Odin in order to try and jump him from behind.

Andy blinked as he walked through the city, Philip staggering around as there was some guy transformed in the area. He ran towards Philip. "Philip, what's going on here?"

"Ren," coughed out Phillip, holding his arm in pain. "He's been affected by the clock, so he henshined into Odin. We've got to stop him before he does anything to hurt everyone else, or before he uses his time vent!"

[leapoffayth.livejournal.com]

"Phillip!"

Hello, young sir who is about to be healed. Yuna's staff appeared on the scene before the rest of her, waved in front of her injured friend to send the healing spell. Its owner looked quite concerned, having caught the past few words of the conversation.

"I'll follow you. Show me." That look meant that she wasn't going to turn back. Whoever needed help was getting it, like it or not.

"...Time vent?"

Gwen appeared on the scene herself, eyes glowing pink with mana as she did her best to access the situation before her - thankfully it wasn't something of Ben's doing for once, but she wasn't about to let her guard down for a second.

"Bio-Boost!" Sho yells as he exits the tea house. The Guyver armor wraps around him and he gets ready.

"Stop him, but try not to hurt him. It's still Ren after all."

1/2

Andy blinked, looking over at Philip. "Okay, we need to stop him? If you're sure about this..."

2/2

[andyallgrownup.livejournal.com]

And with that, Andy thrust his arms forward. "Blue Unicorn!"

And in a flash of light, he was standing in his ranger form, staring down over at Ren.

"Trust me, him hurting us is more of the problem," said Phillip as he nodded gratefully to Yuna for healing him. "The only strategy I can think of right now is fire where there's feathers."

A beat. "Seriously."



rang out Phillip's Gaia Memory as he swung his arm across himself and a belt materialized. "Henshin!"





In a burst of wind, Phillip changed into the green scarf-wearing Rider.

[encourage]

Sakura emerged last from the Tea House, adjusting her gloves with a look of determination on her face. "Fire at the feathers?" she reiterated, taking the general group's positions into account. "All right. Anything else, let us know."

With one healer on hand, and Sakura acting as another, they were well covered on a medical front.

Andy ducked out of the way of the blast of feathers. After all, getting hit with that wasn't going to be good. At all. He pulled out his staff, waiting for when Odin came towards them to parry his strike.

[leapoffayth.livejournal.com]

Fire at the feathers...? That she could do if it was needed, Yuna thought. At the minimum, though, she'd need an aeon to protect herself. These warriors weren't her guardians, they had no obligation toward her. Any defending would have to be her own work.

"Armor of light!" she yelled her first spell, staff waved in front of her and calling forth walls of light. They would slow Odin's sword, reducing the damage sustained by the others.

It was time to wait, weapon held in front of her defensively. The situation would tell her when it was time to summon.

[As a note, I'll be tagging back every two tags, just to keep up the pace. So otherwise, maybe the order should be variations on Andy/Yuna, Gwen/Sho, and Sakura/Phillip? Or whatever works best for you guys]

ASASDSfSAD TELEPORTING! This was what he forgot to mention! Clearly the long months of being separated from Shotarou had dimmed his thought process.

Shooting a glance over to Yuna who had gotten attacked first and then Andy, Phillip went straight for the giver as he pulled his Gaia Memory out and slotted it into the waistband and slapped it.



Crouching low, Phillip prepared his Rider Kick.

"CYCLONE EXTREME!"

[leapoffayth.livejournal.com]

Yuna let out a cry as she was struck, left with a bleeding arm and bent staff. No matter. She waited for their opponent to attack a distracting warrior at a distance, then sent her prayer toward the sky.

A protective wall of lightning rained down around her, some of its sparks jumping to her chipped staff. They collected as she prayed, their power fueling the appearance of a glyph in the hair. One hard tug of her staff later, her companion burst through, a unicorn surrounded by crackling lightning.

"Ixion, stand strong!" she ordered as the lightning fell. Immediately, he crouched and gathered lightning in his horn. They wouldn't have much time.

Sho extends his high-frequency blades and slashes at where he sees the feathers.

"Snap out of it Ren! This is crazy!"

[andyallgrownup.livejournal.com]

Andy moved, running to try to interrupt his attack on Yuna... only to see that Odin was right in front of him, barely managing to block with his staff in time. How could he move like that?

[metalwebhead.livejournal.com]

"Wow, someone has a MAJOR case of overcompensation!"

Two weblines shot out, intending on snagging Odin's arms. From the shadows of one of the buildings was Spider-Man, having watched the battle as it started to pick up.

"Seriously, teleportation, fancy armor, swords. Did someone get insulted as a child?"

[levelheadedone.livejournal.com]

Gwen instinctively held up her hands as her eyes glowed pink; within seconds, a pink shield appeared between her and this...Odin.

She didn't know who he was, but if this guy was anything like any of the opponents Ben had faced before, she couldn't let her guard down for a second.

[darknight-rider.livejournal.com]

[levelheadedone.livejournal.com]

Gwen leaped to one side to avoid the slash while tossing a few pink orbs toward Odin. Maybe she could reason with him somehow.

...And if Ben were here, both him AND Kevin would berate her on such an insane idea. So would Julie, and come to think of it, so would Emily. After she'd reminded her about breakfast.

"Why are you doing this? Don't you know what this could mean for you once this gets around?"
