"Hard way it is" Kenshi said, rolling his dice.
LET'S ROLL!
"Henshin!"
LEO KNIGHT-O!
"Kamen Rider Leo, on the job" Taking a stance, he decided to simply not use his sword on the guards, they might have a crappy boss, but going no holds barred against someone it wasn't necessary to and could have beaten non lethally just doesn't sit well with him.
"Just so you know, we accept surrenders, so feel free to leave" He told the knights.
Wake me up at your own risk.
Haw:in an angered and exasperated tone "Well ffff<@>, what did I tell you guys the queen is the bad guy and and I have to open a vein..."
Hawthorn let's out a sigh tearing the stone he picked up outside from his sleeve, he drags the stone up his arm.
Blood begins pouring out the wound as hawthorn over fills his pen.
Hawthorn holds his now hemorrhaging arm against his body as he draws an inkwell in the air in front of him.
Pen: Emits a deep dark laugh "Dark transformation!"
Haw:" HENSHIN! "
A deep red liquid splashes over hawthorn. Toon is reveal from beneath the liquid in his full armor state, his normally technicolor palette replaced with deep reds and blacks, his normally smooth shoulder pad covered in spikes and dripping slightly. His belt overflowing and leaking with deep crimson substance.
Toon:"Reaper you were told what riders do, NOW DO IT BEFORE I BLEED OUT!!"
Toon holds out his hand, a sanguine version of his hammer materializes, he clutches it.

Natura stayed quiet as the others talked, hoping diplomacy would work and was somewhat surprised when it flat-out didn't. He supposed nobody had to help them but it seemed silly not to when there was every chance the enemy would come to this world too. He stood to attention once it became clear a fight was coming.
"And I... am already transformed!"
Natura spread his hands apart, attempting a combat pose.
"Kamen Rider Natura, champion of the Earth! Though... not this Earth, I guess."
Natura twirled his hands around above his head and a great gust of wind entered through the building and swirled round the Riders, pushing the closest guards away.
Up on Melancholy hill.
Chaos had overcome the room, and several of the guards were making it exceedingly evident that they didn't want to do anything in this situation. Everyone was covered in armor, some dude was literally wearing his blood as armor, some were FLYING...this wasn't in their pay description.
The Queen tapped her staff on the ground, and several eyes looked over at her. "Should you choose not to, then you know what will happen..." She threatened quietly.
The knights were silent...and then pulled out their weapons again. With a loud shout, the Knights rushed forward to a suicidal charge.
"Mother, please, you can't-"
Suddenly, the Queen pressed SOMETHING on her staff, and Reaper screamed, a massive crackle of electricity knocked him to his side.
"You've all ready disappointed me today, boy. Be thankful I am showing you mercy this day."
Is it selfish that I'm happy as we pass the setting sun?
Toon seems to melt into a puddle of blood letting the other riders handle the gaurds. Reappearing to one side of the queen.
Toon:"ARE YOU GOING TO PICK UP THAT PHONE?!"
Toon swings his hammer toward the queen's torso.
Toon:"CAUSE I <CENSORED> CALLED IT! YOU KILLED THE KING! YOU ARE USING THE BUGS! YOU ARE TRYING TO TAKE OVER YOUR WORLD! AND YOU ARE WORKING WITH THE COLLECTIVE!"

"Yeah, some of that hasn't been confirmed yet, but she's f***ing evil!" Nancy cried.
A thread appeared and yanked hard on the Queen's staff.
"Don't give up, Brahm!" she shouted, and the invigorating blue light surrounded him too before disappearing.

"In all honesty" Leo commented, shoving away a few of the guards "I was questioning more her foolishness than her morals, but since both are rotten..." Kicking up the sword of one of the guards, he kept fighting before the sword fell, letting him kick it pointy end first to the staff.
"Just so we are clear, no lethal force on the guards" He called to the others "Their boss might suck, but they shouldn't pay for it with their lives"
Wake me up at your own risk.

“Non-lethal, you got it.” Plasma nods, jerking back on the barrel of her pistol.
With a loud click, it locks upright, with a rod shooting out the end of the barrel, a nice study baton.
With said baton, she attempts the ring the bell of the knight closest to her.
Natura punched the air, creating a strong gust of wind that sent one unlucky guard flying.
"Oh, of course. She just threatened them and we don't have time for a revolution."
Now he knew she was an evil queen, he kind of did want a revolution but The Collective were the current problem.
"...Why don't I get a weapon?"
Natura half-jokingly sulked, eyeing Plasma's gun-baton.
He hovered for a few seconds going into a flying kick, sending another guard across the room.
Up on Melancholy hill.
The guards were only human in the long run. They were made to combat the likes of petty thieves and the occasional riots in the street. Never, in their wildest dreams, would they expect there ever to be a time for them to fight people on par, if not STRONGER, than Reaper! One immediately got struck in the head with some kind of Gun Baton, and he went down like a sack of lead.
One guard was struck with quite an impressive, well lack of a better word, jump kick, and was sent flying backwards, bowling over a few more guards and sending him into the wall, embedding him there.
The Guards around them tried to jump them in groups of at least three or more now, however that seemed to prove even more fruitless and pointless. One guard tried to swing at Leo from above, while the other tried a stab to the gut. One tried to grab Plasma from behind and give another two the opportunity to cut into her, while arrows began to fly up at Natura, trying to peg him out of the sky.
The proper word to describe the next to last previous five minutes was complete and utter chaos. As Toon shot forward and tried to clock her in the torso, she lifted the staff and, while it didn't block it entirely, it did stop a good chunk of the impact. She skid back, but as she skid back, she was pulled forward by the thread from Seamstress wrapping around it. Her grip on the staff was iron clad, and she was starting to lose more and more of her patience.
"Filthy mongrels." She snarled,trying to yank her Staff and, by extention, Seamstress, back over to him "Reaper, are you going to sit there and allow your mother to die, like you permitted your father to die? This is your one time to redeem yourself, now help your mother or you will KNOW pain! You will KNOW Suffering! You will know what it means to HURT!" She screamed, as she pressed another button on the staff, this time the electricity coursing UP the staff and UP the thread, while she tried to cold cock Toon across the face with it.
Reaper rose to his feet, shakily and wavering. He looked at the chaos around. His mother fighting Seamstress and Toon, and Plasma, Natura and Leo fighting the countless guards of the castle...

Plasma retracts her baton, shifts the weapon back to gun mode, spins and kicks another guard away from her as she loads the pistol with an orange Clip.
Fire, Loaded!
Kicking a second guard into the first, she loads the Form Clip into her belt again.
Charging!
Charging!
Charging!
Bzzzzzzzz!
"Brahn-kun! It's time to make a choice. A choice that'll affect the rest of your life! Will you be yoked by this so called "duty"? Will you fight!? It's tough, but choose with honor! Choose with your heart!"
The barrel of her gun begins to glow as she levels it at the Queen.
Bzzzzzzzzzzzzzz!
Toon raise his hammer blocking the staff and pushes the spiked end of the hammer towards the queen with tremendous force.
Toon:"Reaper remember bugs dont have emperors or kings... they only have queens!"
Toon feeling the tingle of electricity from the block uses his bloody armor to disperse the energy in the ground.
Natura made a swatting motion, causing a small gust of wind to blow the arrows to the side. He was enjoying this far too much.
"You want me to come down? Sure."
Natura twirled a finger, summoning a brown key. As he plugged it into the driver, a drumbeat started playing.
"Henshin."
A cloud of dust spread as Natura dropped to the ground and, with similar visuals to before, transformed into Charging Soul.
He lowered his head and charged, horns first, into a group of guards, ending up much nearer Reaper.
"I mean, she's threatening you with actual physical pain while we're just asking for your help. I know family means a lot and I never knew my mother but... it doesn't have to be everything."

Grabbing both swings with his hands, Leo kicked the guards away, tossing their weapons away.
Then, sliding, he kicked down everyone on the path.
Time to change things up Pulling out a figurine, raising it and CLASS CHANGE
LEO BARBARIAN With that, the form of Leo started to change. The Leo Suit started changing, making him look more like a beast, the red turning yellow, and sparks of electricity coming out of him. In lieu of the sword, claws appeared on his arms.
With a roar, he punched the floor, letting out a electric shock on a small area, rather weak to his standard, but most people would feel it. With a leap, he jumped at the queen, intent to chopping the staff to pieces.
"It's over, Bub" He said, growling.

Nancy held her ground as the Queen tried to yank her forward, and the electricity arcing up the thread was thankfully neutralized by Toon.
"Thank you, Haw!" she said, and yanked on the thread even harder, using her magic to strengthen it. She tried to pull it into Kenshi's path, so he could break it.
I wear the skin of the Elder Things, having come unto my own.
Up on Melancholy hill.
The combination was almost too much for them. She reached up to block the blow from the spiked half of Toon's hammer, and at the same time as Seamstress began to pull the staff in the direction of Leo, her eyes went wide. Too much pressure on the staff was more than enough. A fine, hairline fracture appeared in it...and with a loud, shattering of glass, it exploded.
She screamed, and flew back, slamming into the throne as she did, her head dipped down low, her body smoking...
And then, a red pulse of energy rocked outwards on the floor, rippling out. It struck the riders, but aside from a slight tingling sensation, they felt nothing.
The Knights, on the other hand...
Their armor grew bright red cracks that shattered apart, revealing the people underneath with the same kind of glowing cracks. They reached up and touched their faces out of surprise, and then screamed even louder. Their skin...it almost cracked and fell off, almost as if shedding their skin entirely. Falling to their knees, underneath their skin was...bugs. Bugs of different varieties. Some spiders. Some centipedes. Some flies, some dragonflies, but all some kind of horror.
The Queen's grip on the throne suddenly cracked under her grip, and her hand began to grow covered in the red cracks as well.
"You...filthy...mongrels..." She growled quietly...
Is it selfish that I'm happy as we pass the setting sun?

"Haw, you were right! You were right! Everything is confirmed!" Nancy admitted loudly. "Now let's lay some pain!"
She drew her rapier and shot like a bullet over to the former-knights, whirling in a graceful dance of death. Unravelers had just as many minions guarding Threads and Tears, and this just as well could be another day on the job for Nancy.
I wear the skin of the Elder Things, having come unto my own.
Bona-Fide Mastah
Well what do you know, Haw-san was right.
Trying to ignore the grotesque transformations around her, Plasma stop her belt's spin.
MAX CHARGE!
And loads the Form Clip back into her gun.
LOCK AND LOAD!
FLAME BULLETS!
But if I can end this before it get's worse...I'm sorry Brahn-kun...
"Kamen Rider Plasma, authorizing use of lethal force...FIRING!"
As Yuri squeezes the trigger, a large fireball flies out of the gun and rockets toward the Throne and Queen.
Natura watched as the knights were transformed into an assortment of monstrosities.
"...That is messed up."
He reached down and turned the dial on his belt again; this time the core displayed a foot.
"Wild burst!"
Natura began to glow with brown energy before charging forward again, this time with significantly more force, at a cluster of transformed knights.
Toon:"so the heavy lifting is done... good."
Toon looks at the fireball flying in his direction in slow motion. In a flash he found leaning against the wall on the other side of the room.
Toon:"that's good, cause I'm not feeling the greatest."
BELT:in a dark voice "So this is it..."
Clear ink splashes over toon washing away the armor revealing Hawthorn.
Haw:"I'm just gonna rest here a minute..."
Hawthorn passes out from bloodloss.

Up on Melancholy hill.
The throne exploded.
The knights erupted into a shower of red lights, leaving nothing behind as Natura knelt on the ground.
The throne crackled, and the smoke rose to the ceiling.
And through the smoke and the throne, the Queen stepped forward, her body, and clothes, caught in the fresh flames of the fireball.
"I didn't want to have to do this. I had a good thing going here. A nice pawn. A nice life. I wasn't even going to do anything all that bad except keep the dog in line. Have him clear out the trash every once in a while. But no. No, you all had to come here and ruin that. Now I need to find somewhere else to set up shop."
Her body fell apart in wet sloughs of flesh and cloth, revealing something else underneath the initial "shell"
"So, it looks like I have to get my hands dirty again! Kill you all! Slaughter this kingdom, and find a new place to settle down! Maybe find another King and have his son kill that one as well! I can do this for the rest of my life!"
With a burst of energy erupting from her, the rest of the "Shell" blew apart into nothingness in the air. Underneath was, well, as expected, a monster. Black, chitinous exoskeleton surrounding a lithe thin form, a pair of massive antennae on top of the head with a large stinger behind her. And a pair of massive, beautifully orange wings behind her. A strange etching around her head, like some kind of parody of a crown sitting atop her head.
"This wasn't the first Kingdom, and it certainly won't be the LAST." Her wings spread out, and she gave a loud shriek.
Is it selfish that I'm happy as we pass the setting sun?

Nancy's jaw dropped.
"You did WHAT to his father? You did WHAT?"
In an instant she shot threads towards the Queen, wrapping around her legs, anchoring her to the ground.
"Brahn. This is your chance. Avenge your father. Free the people."
More blue light surrounded Reaper, givng him strength. Resolve. Will.
I wear the skin of the Elder Things, having come unto my own.
Bona-Fide Mastah
Out of Ammo!
"Damn...looks like that's all I can do..."
Plasma's transformation reverts with the large blast.
"Brahn-kun...I'm sorry everything's turned out this way. But we need you now more than ever....Kamen Rider Reaper!"
Up on Melancholy hill.
"Filthy, disgusting humans!" She shrieks as she tries to pull her foot free from the thread that holds her anchored to the ground. However, she does notice something. Two of the Riders are currently unmorphed. Two were fighting her Knights. One is busy holding her down. And one is currently unconcious on the side.
Her gaze turned malicious, and she opened her mouth, aiming directly at Hawthorne. "Then I'll take you all down, one by-" She was cut off by a scream.
A massive black and red blade swung around and struck her in the chest, cutting off her words and more importantly knocked her away from spitting her foul bile at her new target, and Reaper stood there, holding the blade in a freshly swung position.
"You-!"
"I will not permit you to hurt the people of my kingdom any longer." He spoke, obviously still trying to steel his own nerves and fight past his own fear. "I won't permit you to hurt me any more! And more importantly...I won't let you hurt my friends!"
"You FILTHY-" She screamed again as he swung again in rapid succession, cutting up directly from her hip to her shoulder, and then horizontally around the body. Sparks and energy bled from her wounds.
"My friends!" He shouted to the others. "You've helped me this far...will you aid me, one final time!?"
Is it selfish that I'm happy as we pass the setting sun?
Nancy smiled at the Queen sweetly—too sweetly—and said, "Spirit? I'll show you spirit!"
She drew her rapier.
"Everyone, don't give up! We can do this! Brahn, you can do this! Shatter those chains! Cast off those bonds! For Great Justice!"
The last few words had more force behind them, and almost immediately, the other Kamen Riders glowed with a blue light, which soon faded. It was invigorating, giving a rush of strength to Nancy's allies.
"If I have to do this, then I have to!"
I wear the skin of the Elder Things, having come unto my own.
