Kamen Rider Zi-O, Dimensional Descent

In the next instant, all the syringes suddenly appeared from all around and attacked Homura Akemi.

Boom! The girl immediately dodged.

But the remaining syringes continued to relentlessly pursue her.

"Besides, you don't understand that person's thoughts at all; you have no way of knowing what he's thinking..."

"How could I possibly understand? All I know is that the culprit who has plunged so many people into suffering is the man beside you! He would never even consider you a worthy object!"

Jie Yuehua's pupils widened slightly, and the six syringes moved even faster.

Buzz—Time stands still.

After quickly shooting down the syringes with her pistol, Homura Akemi moved to the back and retrieved a larger weapon.

US Army man-portable rocket launcher.

The heavy metal monster aimed directly at its opponent's body, and shot after shot.

She only lifted the time stop after confirming that all the rockets had surrounded Yuzuki's body.

Boom—!!

Homura Akemi was drenched in cold sweat as the pain lingered in her mind.

'My mental strength... it won't last much longer...!'

"Is this your limit?"

What…?

When the smoke cleared, the moon was revealed to be completely unharmed.

Homura Akemi was slightly startled. Just as she was about to avoid it, she heard a loud thud coming from beneath her feet.

Snap!

The roof collapsed, and she fell straight down with it.

In that instant, all six syringes were about to pierce her body.

"Oh no... Waaah—!!"

The intense pain in her mind made her lose all reaction, and in this state, she had no control over time at all.

The girl appeared behind him like the Grim Reaper, mercilessly aiming the syringe at him.

"Goodbye."

There was no suspense whatsoever.

That syringe will pierce Homura Akemi's neck completely, bringing her death.

There was no chance of saving them; it was a moment of utter despair.

Crimson chains then descended.

Bang——! !

The chains first knocked away all of Yuzuki's syringes, and then grabbed Akemi Homura's body.

"how…"

Before she could figure out what was going on, Yuki Hana quickly discovered that her entire body was covered in red spots.

That's the aiming point of the laser gun.

Countless scorching bullets exploded directly from the girl's entire body.

Using six syringes to neutralize the incoming beam of light as much as possible, Jie Yuehua quickly flew out of the shattered rooftop.

But in an instant, he was tackled to the ground by the attacker.

"Gurgle...!"

She was a magical girl who wielded sharp claws like a feline.

She grabbed Jie Yuehua's body in an instant, not only flicking away the six syringes, but also throwing her away.

After being flung nearly ten meters away, Jieyuehua saw strange shadows appearing on both her left and right sides at the same time.

One is a magical girl who is like a ninja, and the other is a magical girl who wields an oriental longsword.

"drink!"

"Haa—!"

At the shouts of the two women, two weapons attacked from the left and right sides respectively, forcing Jie Yuehua to forcefully defend against the attack.

Boom! With a violent force, her body was slammed to the ground.

Not finished yet.

When Jie Yuehua raised her head again and looked ahead.

"What…!"

She was a blonde magical girl, with the same hair color as herself.

She held a white flintlock pistol, and behind her emerged countless new flintlock pistols.

Gazing at the last figure she saw, Yuzuki couldn't help but call out the other person's... name.

"Tomo...Mi..."

that's it.

Countless artillery shells completely enveloped the rooftop of the building in front of us.

"Who...you are?"

"What, you don't even remember me?"

The person who saved Homura Akemi was Kyoko Sakura.

Then, dozens of others followed her.

Homura Akemi looked around in surprise. Countless magical girls were sitting on the rooftops of various buildings, all fully armed and looking in this direction... or rather, looking in the direction of Yuzuki Hana.

"These children all became magical girls because they were tricked by those guys over there."

I see…

A simple sentence instantly made Homura Akemi understand the current situation: these people... were all there to settle scores and seek revenge against Yuzuki Kaname.

Among them, the golden magical girl, Mami Tomoe, also stood out brilliantly.

"She came too...?"

With a whoosh, a golden ribbon wrapped around Jieyuehua's body, lifting her upside down.

She is now covered in wounds.

"Give up. You can't take on so many of us by yourself."

Click.

The flintlock musket was thus aimed at Yuzuki's forehead.

Mami Tomoe abandoned her usual elegant demeanor and instead adopted a cold and ruthless attitude towards the person in front of her.

"You should understand why everyone came here to find you."

"Revenge...?"

"Perhaps there are some, but... our main concern is to stop you from continuing this absurd behavior."

They constantly tempt naive young girls, making them believe that becoming a magical girl will give them everything they want, and then... they drag them completely into the hell called reality.

From an objective point of view, these were the girls' own choices, so it's impossible to blame Yuzuki Hana.

But... no one will forgive what she did.

Even now, it's the same; Yuzuki Hana... this girl will never give up on doing these things that harm others and the world.

And all of this... was just for that man.

"I see."

Having understood all of this, Yuki closed her eyes.

...then he laughed.

"Hehe, hehehe...hahahaha..."

"...?"

The eerie atmosphere made everyone tense.

Mami Tomoe glared at her with a furrowed brow.

"What's so funny... Do you know how many people you've dragged into tragedies that they shouldn't have had? Do you know how many people you've deceived?!"

"Of course I know. I never thought of escaping my sins. I knew from the very beginning that what I did would bring you misfortune."

even so.

Jieyuehua was still smiling, smiling as she looked at them and at the world.

"I do not regret."

Whoosh... An unnatural gust of wind swept through the sky.

"If doing these things can satisfy him... can make him acknowledge my words."

That unnatural breeze, however, became increasingly eerie.

"So what if what I did was wrong?"

The unnatural aura made the surrounding magical girls even more wary, and then—

Homura Akemi, however, sensed a presence within.

That was a familiar scent that should never have existed in this world, a scent she would never forget.

"Run!"

Without the slightest hesitation, Homura Akemi immediately shouted to everyone.

"Run! That thing... it's coming!"

Followed by.

Without giving these magical girls any chance to prepare or act, in the sky, in the darkness—

The world's nightmare, a perpetual stage that never stops turning.

The Witch's Night... descends.

It gently touched the city, and in an instant, it lifted the entire block into the air.

"Hahahaha! Ahahahahahaha!!!"

All that echoed was Jie Yuehua's almost maniacal laughter.

————————————————————

"Ugh..."

It's a miracle that he's still alive.

Countless magical girls were blown away to various places, and the neighborhoods where they were originally located were instantly destroyed.

Homura Akemi collapsed in that enormous, crater-like cave.

“Apricot… Mami Tomoe…”

I wonder how those two people are doing.

Homura Akemi leaned alone against the pile of broken rubble, blood flowing from her body, the purple Soul Gem clutched in her hand... appearing quite dull.

pat.

Something has come down.

A giant witch's night, and... a magical girl following her.

"As expected of him... He can even summon the Witch's Night from a parallel world to this world and make it work for me. It's really... amazing."
