Meteor skimmed his eyes for his next opponent. He decided not to confront the Dead Apostle just yet, and instead snap his fingers at the fellow rider.
"You're next!" Meteor said as he switched on a lever on his Meteor Galaxy.
SATURN, ON! READY?
And after a press...
OKAY! SATURN!
Meteor's hand then changed into the planet Saturn. The ring surrounding it began to spin as he prepared to send the deadly disk, when suddenly the mast began to fall. He then slashed at the mast with Saturn's ring, effectively turning it into ash upon touching it. He then turned to Marisa.
"Heh, so I also have to deal with you? Very well." Meteor said as he swung his fist at her, sending forth three rings of Saturn at Marisa.
Meanwhile, Nicholas was getting out of the water, when he bumped into the blond woman. The woman after being disorientated for a bit, looked at Nicholas.
"M-Marvelous! I wasn't expecting you to be here!" The woman said.
"But... But I'm not..." Nicholas said to her, but then he was grabbed at the arm by the woman.
"Come, we must get Hook. There's a huge problem going on!" The woman said as she dragged him onto the ship.

Marisa grinned as the rings flew towards her.
"Really? That's nothing!" she declared, swiftly dodging out of the way of the oncoming attack. She responded with a swiftly thrown-together danmaku pattern, a twisting spiral of star-shaped bullets that spread wider and wider as it traveled away from Marisa.

Oh? He wasn't considered a worthy opponent? Well, that suited him just fine, since this newcomer seemed to want to protect someone both unforgivably rude and annoyingly keen to assault people Zelretch had an interest in. Mentally thanking the witch that had shown up for drawing attention away from anything he might do, the Dead Apostle began a chant, making it up on the spot but forcing the spell through anyway by force of will and prana.
"Rise, Domain of Sumire, Rise,
Pointed Spires of the Water Fortress,
Tenfold Pillars of Tempestuous Hell,
Rise (Fill), Rise (Fill), Rise (Fill),
Rise a Hundredfold From Remnants,
Thrust and Spear, Oceanic Spires, Spear and Thrust,
Wind-Born Needles and Water Thread,
Shatter and Rise, Undying Water,
Rise, Aqua Mortis!"
If Zelretch was allowed to get that far (since it would take an entire minute), the Kamen Rider would see something rather... alarming. From the ocean, ten hundred foot high watery spears would rise and attempt to impale him from every angle, a vacuum of air doing the actual impaling. And if it missed? It would splash across the entire boat, and every pool would produce ten more spears, albeit smaller, that would try the same. And again, and again, until it was countless thread-like barbs.

Jenny pulled her Driver from its pocket dimension, slapping it into place across her waist, causing the belt strap to whip around behind her, locking it into place. She flipped the two red switches on the front downwards. 3... 2... 1... The Driver's AI sounded off. "HENSHIN!" Jenny shouted as she pushed the grey handle on the right across. As she did so, the screen on the Driver flashed, and with the combination of a rising metallic ring-shaped object and an X-shaped burst of gas, she was transformed. Dropping into a ready stance, she faced down the hostile Rider across the deck. |

John, not to be outdone, threw his arms out to the side and... promptly sprouted colorful moth-like wings from his back. The wings drew back before pushing forward with a mighty blast of wind, throwing the mast into the sea and launching John backwards with its force. |

Looking like a stern teacher, the dark knight regarded Olga with a small frown. "I assure you, I am not named after a celestial body. I am not nearly as bright as the shining jewels embedded in the canvas of the skies. I am simply an extension of a higher law, a weapon if you will." It was clear that though there was pride in her voice about her serving the empire, it wasn't blind devotion. She knew exactly what role she played, and accepted it.
Turning to Moerin, she bowed. "My lady, please calm down. Your complexion will be ruined by such anxiety." Unlike her counterpart, this particular Grey was quite blunt. Not that she meant ill will by it, but rather her upbringing was mostly related to war and conduct of matters associated with it.

The danmaku riddled the ship, knocking away several pirates. The same Dankamu also hit Meteor, knocking him up into the air. He was then attacked by multiple water spears that the Magus created. He would then land on the ground, severally beaten, with much of his armor chipped away.
"It's best you retreat now. You're facing a citizen of Gensokyo and a Dead Apostle. You're not going to make it..." A voice was heard inside Meteor's helmet.
"Arg... Virgin, I can handle this." Meteor said as he swung his Saturn Silence at several more people, three disks for each person fighting him.

Zelretch did exactly what you would expect someone having a mast-destroying disc flung in his direction: moved aside and looked unimpressed. This enemy... wasn't as dangerous as they had initially appeared, to have been smashed by the water so easily. They weren't even worth a second hit; someone else would have no difficulty finishing the idiot off. He hadn't even done anything to heal the person previously launched into space.

Alright, this guy wasn't all that entertaining. Time to beat him in the most flashy way possible.
"Hey, those discs or whatever are nice 'n all, but I've seen a lot more impressive stuff back home," Marisa said, slipping out of the way of the projectiles. She turned swiftly to the old guy, and gave him a wide grin and a thumbs up. "You, on the other hand... that was some pretty badass magic! I bet Ari-chan would be jealous... if she cared about water manipulation and not just doll manipulation. But anyway, might have to try and nab that one for myself, ojii-san! Now then..."
She turned to face the armored disc-thrower one more time. "So long!"
With a wave, Marisa shot into the air once more. She flew up, and up, and up... until the pirate ship was far below her. Marisa was still close enough that she could make out the people, and swung her hand down to take careful aim with the mini-hakkero at the blue armored man on the boat.
A single card slid in front of the magical reactor, which ignited once more. The card glowed as well. Rings of complex symbols formed in front of the artifact.
"Love Sign 'Mastaaaaaaaa...'"
The mini-hakkero burned furiously.
"'SUPAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAKU!'"
The mini-hakkero exploded with light. A laser, a massive laser, a beam of shifting color and light, from a distance resembling a column of raw destruction, shot down towards the disc-hurling Kamen Rider. There was time for anyone who realized what was happening to get off the ship before she fired the attack. Anyone who didn't get off would end up on a ship with a huge circular hole blown clear through it. At least they wouldn't be dead, the Master Spark was non-lethal. It could knock people senseless or even unconscious. And at the very least they'd be beaten up, in pain, and tired.

Seeing that the ship keeping him from being caught in a watery death trap was about to sink, Zelretch decided to abandon ship and took a running jump to port, landing neatly and shooting a disgruntled look at the witch who had decided to blow a hole in things. He also got out the jewelled sword on the off chance she decided to turn the laser onto him.
(Psy, important question: what is the phase of the moon?)

"Sh-shut up, Rain! Like you would know anything!" Moerin flailed her arms at the slime, her cheeks taking on a slight reddish tinge. She tried to show more composure when she replied to Olga, but failed miserably at it. "Um, uh... Well, uh, sorry... Seems like everyone I met in the last few worlds I visited all knew about it... Stupid perverts wouldn't stop teasing me... Um... And no, I don't know any Anno, and the only Grey I know is the one I've just met. Kinda weird that there's another me running around, but it's a big multiverse, so... Wonder what she's like..."
"Um... S-sorry, Captain Grey," the blush grew noticably brighter as the knight showed concern for her. "Just, um... Sorry." I wonder what she looks like without the armour... Hmmm...

"I know an Anno, but I don't think you're talking about the lamia from the internet," Rain said thoughtfully. Heheh, Internet lamia girl... and that was only the tip of the iceberg. She kind if doubted that any of these people were talking about the ones she knew, though.
For Good measure, at Moe's rejection of perviness, the slimegirl mouthed 'Phantasmoon'.

"Dimension Link." the seemingly human robot uttered, before clapping once. A dark portal appeared and a small robot exited. Its head resembled a camera, which was attached to a set of three bladed legs by a small cylindrical body. Although the machine was far less powerful than anything queen Eve could call, being able to use Dimension Link was power enough for a servant. Even if it was less...stable than the queen's. The scout drone approached Moerin, Olga and company's location. It quickly confirmed the number of people present and the lack of immediate danger. Or rather, it relayed the information back to its master, who confirmed these things. The figure nodded once, ordering the smaller machine to return. After its return...and self destruct, the effeminate robot stood, brushed itself off and exited its hiding place. Its goal...try to find a way back home. That error was unfortunate, even worse was the fact that it could not be replicated. Stepping into view of the group, the mechanical person waved. Its face bore a completely neutral expression, although for a fraction of a second, a small smile was visible. It was obvious to the Nasod that none of these people were from around here, after all none of the other people here were dressed like they were. Nor were any of them made of a blue, viscous fluid. Perhaps one of them could aid in replicating the Dimension Link error. |

"Yeah, probably not..." half-heartedly answered Olga to the slimegirl, looking at the new arrival. Pinching her nose she whispered to herself "I'd bet it's another alternate."
The universe was silently laughing at how the genderbender was right, but not going to recognise it.

Grabbing her sword at the flash of light, the captain hesitantly stopped drawing her blade when she saw the young being. Nevertheless, her guard was up. "Be wary, my lady. Methinks witchcraft is in the air. Though a child..." Backstepping so she was closer to the "noble", Grey tensed up and demanded an inquiry from the new arrival. "Who are you, child of dark magicks?"

( Rain:Eh... Cresent?) As the beam headed to the rider, a large black hole with tinges of pink on the sides opened up, sucking Meteor and several other members of Dai-Shocker. The Rings dissipate as the beam struck the ship, creating a massive hole, which the water underneath began to fill. The Pirates abandoned their ship, as Captain Hook and Smee tried to do the same.
Any person that was sucked into the black hole was transported to a strange location. It was very high tech, with computers beeping at a mile a minute. They were in a satellite somewhere deep in space. Meteor pulled out his switch and dehenshined, revealing a man with blond hair blocking one of his green eyes. He wore glasses, though further investigation showed that the glass was really plastic. "Virgin! What the fucking hell?! I could have took her on!" He said to a womanly figure, with a strange hairdo, a golden mask, two large wings, and a rose dress. " I'm not going to risk you dying because you think you can beat around vampires and witches that have proven to kick ass and take names. And my name is not Virgin. It's Virgo." She said. "Whatever, they're the same damn word." The rider said. |

The mini-hakkero's glow faded. The beam dissipated shortly afterwards, giving Marisa a very clear view of the hole she had punched clear through the pirate ship. So it would probably sink without giving Marisa a chance to get the treasure. That really kind of sucked. But hey, flashy way to defeat an enemy... and anyone else who had been caught in the Master Spark. But they'd be fine, as would everybody on the ship. Sure they'd be down one pirate ship, but it was destroyed in the name of being extremely flashy so that was fine.
Drifting over to the docks, Marisa began to lower herself towards the ground.
"Hehehe, that was great!"

Jenny grabbed onto whatever she could as the black hole started to pull everything towards it. She fumbled with one of the switches on her belt.
Rocket... ON
At once, a large orange rocket materialised over her right arm, and fired, trying to pull her away.
It wasn't enough though; as soon as she let go of the ship she felt the singularity's gravity pulling her down, until the rocket spluttered and died, and she tumbled straight into it.
----
The impact with the ground on the other side knocked her out of her transformed state and sent her belt sliding across the floor.
Ow...
She tried to look around and get her bearings.
Where the heck am I now? More to the point, why am I still alive?

Noticing the youth still floating in the water, the vampire decided to get him out of there and cast a simple spell. Of course, spell wasn't the right word--this was far less verbal or somatic than that. The Wizard Marshall went for the quick but generally difficult option of just willing the effect to happen and pouring prana into it. Sure enough, a pillar of water abruptly tossed Nicholas onto the dockside, beside the witch.

"Eh?"
Marisa turned and looked down, to face the soggy person who had just landed directly next to her due to more water manipulations from the old guy. He was pretty soggy, and... that seemed to be about it, anyway. Marisa was really more interested in figuring out how to nab those spells from the old guy then figuring out what was up with the soggy guy. She didn't care much for water manipulation, but those spells were pretty impressive. If Marisa learned the baseline spell, with luck she could modify it and simplify it until it worked on magical energy as opposed to water. That'd be a giant magical energy spike tendrils seemed pretty appealing.
She turned back to the old guy.
"Aaaanyway, hey, ojii-san, how'd you pull off those kickass water manipulation spells?" she asked, "I'm just making a record of the stuff, so if you're worried about integrity or... whatever I'm not going to go stealing it, so-"
Oh what was that glorious thing resting on his shoulder. That was fantastic. Marisa couldn't really help but stare at the amazing weapon resting on the old guy's shoulder. From her point of view, it was a sword. Made out of some kind of gemstone. And it was practically impossible to ignore that it was powerfully magical. Marisa knew one thing. She wanted it.
"... Can I take a look at your sword, too?"

Zelretch inclined his head to look down at the girl talking to him. Japanese, then? Well... she didn't seem fully Japanese, not with that hair colour and her features, but there was definitely indications of it, so... probably only half. At least it was much clearer the best language to use, learned from teaching Nagato all those years ago. "Our magic systems aren't compatible and my spells... well, I'm not sure it's possible to copy the casting in any way; what's important is working out how to get to the result."
No-one had ever said that magecraft was a particularly open discipline; it was precisely the opposite. It was also much less about teaching exact spells and much more about teaching methods with which to create them; casting was different for every person (aside from the 'cheating' that went on with thaumaturgical crests) and as a result the spells were too. Some spells, the 'simple' things, though, were pretty much the same for anyone because they were so ingrained in the magic system.
Then she asked about the sword. Combined with her remark about not wanting to steal his spells, it was pretty obvious that she was both a thief and a bad liar... but the old vampire immediately thought of a trick to play on her. Spinning the sword round so he held it by the blade, he offered it to Marisa, "You can look at my sword... if you can get it out of my hand."
It was extremely unlikely that the girl would have the strength to do that, since he was once more cheating and increasing his gripping power.

He was just offering his sword to her if she could get it out of his hand? Marisa couldn't believe her luck. Granted, she wasn't particularly strong(almost all her focus was on magic, so physical strength was pretty much ignored in favor of training for bigger and flashier attacks), but he was an old guy. A tall old guy, but old guys weren't usually known for being powerhouses of strength or whatever.
"Really?" Marisa smiled, "Thanks, ojii-san."
With that, she reached out and took the hilt in one hand, and pulled hard.
And it refused to budge.
She pulled again, and yet it refused to budge. Grimacing, Marisa inserted her broom into her hammerspace spell and took the hilt in both hands before tugging on it once more, and... still she couldn't get it out o the old man's hand.
"... You're not a regular old man, are you, ojii-san?" she said, releasing the hilt with a slight frown and a quirked eyebrow. That was just disappointing, really. But she'd figure out some way to steal that sword...

"Oh dear, an unneeded person has arrived at out base... Kill her." Virgo said to the rider.
"Wait... what? Why would I kill her? Just send her back! She won't know!" The rider said to Virgo.
"Agreed." Someone said. The rider and Virgo looked down the hall and saw a man walking towards them. A man who had a black and magenta uniform on him. Virgo was the first to kneel.
"Great Leader! We found an intruder! What shall we do with her?"
"... Keep her. She's was one of us before. If she accepts our offer, she may rejoin Dai-Shocker. If not, we'll keep her prisoner." Tsukasa said. He then glared at Jenny.
Nicholas saw the ship sinking as the woman couldn't believe her eyes.
"No... Hook's..." She muttered, but soon John came with the captain and his first mate. "Oh, thank God you're alright!" She said to Hook.
"What the devil is going on?" Hook muttered as he looked at his ship sinking.
"Well, we are-" Nicholas said, but was interpreted by the woman.
"Captain Hook, it's Barbossa! He's back from the dead! I saw him with my own two eyes!" The woman said. Hook turned to her.
"Back? From the dead? So... he escaped from Davy Jone's Locker?" Hook said.
"Barbossa? Isn't he..." Nicholas thought about it too.

"People are rarely what they seem," Zelretch said cheerfully, thrusting the sword back into his coat pocket and ambling over to Nicholas, whereupon he rested a hand atop the youth's shoulder, "I have a few questions for you, young man. It concerns something you said when we were boarding the ship."

"You mentioned Rider... how do you know of the Holy Grail War?" the vampire asked, eyes gleaming. The way it was phrased... well, it might be some other Rider but most of them tended to be embodiments of four particularly depressing concepts (or those people in armour, though he'd only really seen them mentioned before) rather than anyone you could talk to.
And he was curious how Fuyuki's Grail War had spread over to here.

"You aren't bright, are you? I just said I'd imprison you. This was used to hold other people in prison before... Welcome, to the Dark Nebula." Tsukasa said to her. He then walked to her.
"The... Holy Grail War? Where have I heard that before... OH! Fate!" Nicholas said. He then looked at Zelretch. "Well... It's a very long and complicated story... What do you know about parallel universes?" Nicholas asked the Apostle.
