"Zero-One That's my name!"
Asuka now as Kamen Rider Zero-One, charges straight at Berotha Magia.
"Let's go!" she shouts.
Berotha swings its twin daggers, dark energy slicing through the air. Zero-One dodges, twisting her body and sliding under the first swing. The second dagger comes down fast, but she leaps up high, flipping over Berotha's head with ease.
She lands gracefully on a narrow platform high above on the structure of a roller coaster.
"Hm?" Asuka looks around, realizing where she is.
"Whaaaaat?!" she exclaims, seeing how high up she ended up.
She rests her leg on the metal railing, amazed. "My leg power is amazing!"
Suddenly, Berotha's eyes glow green.
It fires twin laser beams straight at her.
Zero-One doesn't hesitate, she kicks off the railing and dives right towards the beams. As she descends, she swings her glowing leg through the lasers, slicing the energy apart like paper.
"Yosha!"
Coming down like a comet, she smashes her fist into Berotha Magia's chest. A burst of bright green energy explodes out from the impact.
"Hyah!"
Berotha staggers back, sparks flying from its body.
"Alright!" Zero-One shouts, pumping her fist as she goes to charge at Berotha again.
But she stops mid-step, her eyes catching the manager stumbling away, two corrupted Humagears closing in fast.
"Tch!" She clicks her tongue and dashes over without hesitation.
One of the corrupted Humagears raises its arm to strike the helpless manager.
Zero-One leaps in and delivers a sharp kick to the Humagear's hand, knocking it away just before it could land the blow.
"Run!" she shouts at the manager.
The man nods shakily and scrambles to his feet, running for safety.
Zero-One spins back around just in time as the two corrupted Humagears lunge at her. She raises her arms and blocks their attacks, pushing back with her strength.
Zero-One leads the two corrupted Humagears away from the civilians, running deeper into the ruined amusement park. The two machines chase after her relentlessly, fists and kicks flying.
She twists and ducks, narrowly dodging a wild punch, then leans back as a heavy kick slices the air just inches from her faceplate.
"These guys aren't pulling any punches!" Bouncing on her feet as she weaves between their attacks.
On the sidelines, Izu watches calmly, still holding the black and lime-green case.
"Asuka-sama!" Izu calls out, quickly tossing the case up into the air toward her.
Asuka glances back at the wrong moment— THUNK!
The case smacks directly into the center of her helmet with a loud clang.
"Ah! That hurt!" Zero-One yelps, staggering a step and holding her forehead through the helmet.
Even though the heavy armor completely covered her face... somehow, it still hurt.
"Why does it still hurt?!" She whines.
"Asuka-sama, my deepest apologies." Izu bows politely.
"It's okay, I'm okay!" Zero-One quickly reassures her, giving a thumbs-up despite the lingering sting.
She rolls-dodges an oncoming swipe, tucking into a smooth somersault, and snatches the case off the ground mid-roll. Without missing a beat, she swings it like a hammer, whacking one corrupted Humagear across the head, then spins and delivers a powerful kick to the other one's face and chest.
The first Humagear recovers quickly, drawing a dagger and lunging at her. Zero-One raises the case just in time, CLANG—blocking the blade.
Thinking fast, she tosses the case into the air.
She catches it cleanly, and it suddenly clicks open revealing a hidden sword blade.
»BLADE RISE«
"It's a weapon!" She should excited. "New toy!"
The two Humagears, adapting quickly, pull out guns and start firing rapidly at her.
Zero-One grips the Attache Calibur tightly, using it as a shield. BAM BAM BAM! Bullets bounce off the blade as she charges straight through the gunfire.
With a fierce slash, she cuts through the end of one gun, then another. Moving quickly, she stabs one of the corrupted Humagears square in the chest and kicks it away with a sharp burst of strength.
From behind a ruined booth, the manager hides, peeking out. His eyes are wide with awe as he watches the lime green and black Kamen Rider fight for everyone's safety.
Elsewhere in the city...
A monstrous Sludge Villain had managed to capture a struggling Bakugo, wrapping its slimy body around him. Using Bakugo's own explosive Quirk, the villain unleashed massive detonations, setting nearby buildings and vehicles ablaze. Smoke and flames filled the streets.
Multiple pro heroes gathered at the scene, but none could approach safely.
"This isn't good," Kamui Woods said, bracing himself as another explosion rocked the area. "I can't get close due to the fire from that kid's Quirk."
Nearby, a police officer ran up to the group of pro heroes, urgency in his voice. "There's been a call about Humagears going rogue at Giggling DreamLand!"
"What?!" Kamui Woods turned to him, his eyes wide in disbelief. "You've got to be kidding me."
Back to Asuka...
As Zero-One finished battling the two corrupted Humagears, Berotha Magia returned, charging at her with its twin mantis-like blades gleaming. Zero-One spun her Attache Calibur in her hand, meeting Berotha's attack head-on. Sparks flew as their weapons clashed violently, each strike echoing through the ruined amusement park.
From above, perched on a nearby building, the hooded man who had started all this chaos laughed gleefully, clapping his hands.
"Go, go! So cool!" he cheered, jumping up and down excitedly like a kid at a festival.
Behind him, a corrupted Humagear staggered to its feet, its movements twitchy and erratic. "L-L-L-L-Lost Child Announcement," the Humagear glitched, reaching toward the hooded man.
Without even looking, the hooded man casually pulled out a gun and shot the Humagear right in the side of its head. Sparks burst out as it collapsed in a heap, while the man continued laughing, completely unfazed.
Berotha tumbled to the ground with a heavy grunt but quickly pushed itself back up, its red eyes glowing with fury. With a roar, it unleashed three sharp, green crescent-shaped energy slashes toward Zero-One.
Time seemed to slow.
Zero-One reacted instantly, jumping into the air and performing a smooth somersault, narrowly dodging all three slashes. The energy attacks slammed into the ground behind her, exploding on impact and sending debris flying.
More slashes came chasing after her. Zero-One leapt higher into the sky, spotting a wrecked car that had been thrown into the air earlier. She landed lightly on its roof, sprinting across it as more energy blades cut through the air around her.
Another wrecked car spun upward—Zero-One hopped from the first car onto the second, fluidly dodging the incoming slashes. She pushed off again, soaring through the chaos, and landed inside a crumbling bus suspended midair.
Zero-One burst through the shattered front window of the bus, landing inside as it plummeted through the air. She sprinted through the narrow aisle, weaving between broken seats and scattered debris.
More green energy slashes tore through the bus windows, forcing her to act fast. She kicked off the walls, springing from side to side, narrowly avoiding each deadly strike. Pieces of metal flew past her, but she stayed focused, sliding low under another slash.
Seeing her moment, she dove toward the rear.
With a final push, Zero-One leapt out the back window just as the bus crashed into the ground below.
[Next stop requested.]
The bus exploded in a fiery blast, the force shaking the ground.
Zero-One sailed through the air toward Berotha, her fist cocked back. She struck Berotha square in the chest with a powerful punch, unleashing a shockwave of lime green energy that burst out in all directions, knocking the Magia back.
"There's only one person who can stop you! It's me!"
Zero-One hit the side of her Driver.
»RISING IMPACT«
In a blur of speed, she moved.
Zero-One launched forward, delivering a sharp upward kick to Berotha Magia, a massive energy projection of a grasshopper leg bursting out and sending Berotha flying into the air.
Without hesitation, Zero-One jumped high after it, closing the distance in an instant. She struck again, a powerful downward kick that sent Berotha crashing toward the ground.
Not finished yet, Zero-One rocketed downward, her leg glowing with energy. A massive robotic grasshopper formed around her foot, stretching outward.
With one final push, Zero-One's flying kick smashed through Berotha's body, shattering it in an explosion.
Above them, in the sky, green kanji appeared—the characters for "Rising Impact" burning brightly as Zero-One completed her Rider Kick.
