Kamen Rider Geats: Back in Time

Shadow IV: My daughter, I will protect her! (P2)

More time and more rounds passed by.

[Round 12. Fight!]

No matter how fiercely she fought, there was no end in sight. Exhaustion clouded her mind, vision fading in and out of focus. When five familiar forms dropped down amidst the chaos, Na-Go knew all hope was lost.

Jyamato Riders loomed over the battered Beat Rider, clad in sinister armor plates and wielding cruel scythes. Their eyes burned with feral hunger.

Irumi and Kousei pulled against their bonds so violently their skin split and bled. But the chains held fast against their panic and grief.

"Neon!" Irumi screamed, reaching a shattered hand towards her beloved "daughter" below.

Beroba savored the sights and sounds of their prey's final breakdown. Victory was assured.

The monstrous Riders fell upon Na-Go in a blur of clashing steel. Her exhausted swings could barely glance off their impervious armor. Scythes rained down mercilessly.

Using it as a last resort, she triggered her Boost finisher.

[Revolved On]
[Boost Tactical Victory!]

Throwing her axe away, she launched into the fray, fiery punches and kicks unleashed, destroying the enemies in a desperate bit devastating attacks. After that, the Boost Buckle flew off, leaving only Beat.

Weak gripped the thrown axe as Na-Go struggled back to her feet. She clasped a wound gushing from her side, pain lancing through her battered form.

Yet against all odds, she had defeated the five monstrous Riders. But as Round 13 commenced, more stepped forward to take their place.

[Round 13. Fight!]

Na-Go wanted to collapse, to give in to the sweet darkness calling her. But Irumi and Kousei's lives depended on her persistence.

She raised her axe with a cry, flinging herself at the enemies. But they easily batted her aside like a rag doll. Na-Go crashed and rolled, barely conscious.

Above, Irumi made eye contact with Kousei through their tears. A silent, devastating plan formed between them. It was the only way now.

"Neon, stop this foolishness!" Kousei yelled down hoarsely. "You think we're worth dying over? I never loved you - you were only an empty replacement!"

Irumi flinched at the cruelty but steeled herself. "You're not truly my daughter! I don't want a fake child, just give up!"

Na-Go gazed up in anguish, heart shattering under the torrent of hateful words. But she shook her head slowly, pushing herself up once more.

"Please, daughter! End this torture, just leave us!" Irumi sobbed.

But Na-Go faced the looming colossi, axe gripped tight despite it all. She would not abandon them, not while life still sparked within her battered frame.

As the last enemy comes out, a Jyamato Rider using Monster form. With one last attack, she charged at it.

[Beat Strike!]
[Monster Strike!] The enemy also does the same.

Her axe was raised high against the enemy in a clash. The enemy was destroyed as she crashed against a wall, form falling down, detransformed.

"No..."

"Ooooh~ It's time." Avara walked above Na-Go's position, barely touching the edge. She used her tablet to control glowing dust particles towards a syringe.

In those final moments, with Neon's broken body lying still below, something within Irumi and Kousei finally broke free of its bonds.

Adrenaline and agony coursed through them as they pulled with every last ounce of strength against their restraints. The chains, once unyielding, began to twist and bend under their desperation.
