Over the next few days, after careful planning and preparation, the rescue team assembled. Sakura, Theresa, Mei, Kiana, and Kouga sat inside a helicopter, its engines humming steadily as it carried them toward their destination.
Mei sat quietly, her expression tense. The knowledge that her father's former company was now imprisoning Bronya and Wendy weighed heavily on her.
Theresa received a call, listened for a moment, then nodded and said:"ME corp is up ahead. You all ready to break in?"
Kouga, Sakura, and Mei nodded in response. Mei's nod was hesitant, but determined. Kiana, on the other hand, grinned confidently."Of course. Eh? Why is Theresa leading this operation? Where's Aunt Himeko?"
A familiar voice answered her immediately."I heard that, young lady. I won't let you off that easily if I hear that again."
The group turned toward the sound and saw Himeko walking into the helicopter's waiting area, already clad in her scarlet fusion battlesuit.
Himeko continued,"ME corp is a very dangerous place even with Kouga there, so I'm coming in with you."
Theresa crossed her arms and added,"I'll join you, too! After all, they took my Valkyries so i'm not going to let them get away with this."
Sakura bowed her head slightly and said calmly,"I am miss Theresa Body guard after all, so i will follow her."
Mei's expression softened into a relieved smile, reassured by the presence of Theresa, Himeko, and Sakura joining the mission to rescue Bronya and Wendy.
Kiana looked at Himeko with genuine gratitude."Himeko, I can't thank you enough."
Himeko waved it off with a smirk."Just keep smiling. Alright, wipe that disgusting grin off your face. I'll settle for a "thank you". Gosh."
Theresa clapped her hands to get everyone's attention and interrupted,"Alright, enough chit-chat for now. Here's the mission briefing. Our intel department confirmed Bronya and Wendy captured by Anti-Entropy... are now being imprisoned in the ME Corp HQ building. Unfortunately, Schicksal is not prepared to declare war on Anti-Entropy yet."
She continued, clearly annoyed,"We shouldn't be put up with this crap anyway! Our primary goal is to infiltrate the building and rescue our Valkyries, and do naughty stuff along the way."
Everyone except Himeko and Kouga nodded eagerly. Kiana replied without hesitation,"Understood!"
Himeko and Kouga exchanged blank looks. Himeko sighed and said,"Naughty stuff along the way... Sister Theresa, you sound as if..."
Theresa cut her off immediately."I knew I had to use a harder word for that. Anyway, Major Himeko, Sakura and I will be joining this mission. But the HQ building is heavily guarded. Be prepared. Scout the building perimeters and find a way in."
The helicopter reached ME Corp shortly after. The team jumped out swiftly, boots hitting the ground in unison. Kouga transformed into Kamen Rider Shinobi, his form vanishing into shadow as the operation began.
They split into two teams of three.
Team One: Kouga, Kiana, and Theresa.Team Two: Mei, Himeko, and Sakura.
Moving carefully through the perimeter, they avoided patrol mechs and surveillance systems.
As they moved through the perimeter, Kouga picked up fragments of conversation between Theresa and Kiana over the comms. Kiana carefully avoided mentioning Bronya's earlier loss of control in her report, clearly trying to protect her friend. Kouga noticed—but chose not to say anything.
Moments later, they accidentally crossed into the line of sight of a patrolling mech. Reacting instantly, the team struck first, disabling it in seconds before it could trigger an alarm. As the smoking machine collapsed, Theresa watched Kiana with a thoughtful expression.
She commented that Kiana reminded her strongly of Siegfried—reckless, stubborn, but fearless.
After more searching, the two teams regrouped with Himeko, Sakura, and Mei near the outer edge of the complex.
Theresa crossed her arms, frowning."Hmm... I can't find a way in."
Himeko glanced at the massive structure and shook her head."We've been sitting outside ME Corp forever! Anti-Entropy will eventually find us snooping around. Let's retreat for now."
Mei immediately rejected the idea."No, we can't give up on Bronya-chan."
Kiana stepped forward just as firmly."We're not heading back!"
Theresa sighed."Kiana, Mei , being hot-headed won't solve anything."
Kouga stepped in calmly, offering an alternative."How about i transform into Kamen rider ghost and phase through the building and open a door for us"
Before anyone could respond, a signal came through the communicator. The voice on the other end made everyone freeze.
"Calm down, subject Kiana."
Kiana's eyes widened."Bronya, is that really you Bronya ?"
Mei leaned closer to the comm unit."Are you okay Bronya-chan ?"
Kouga immediately followed up."Bronya, What's your situation right now ?"
Bronya replied evenly,"ME Corp is heavily guarded, but the Bronya can bring you in."
Kiana lit up instantly."Awesome! We're trying to do that for ages!"
Himeko, however, raised a hand sharply."Wait! We can't trust her! Anti-Entropy controlled her before. Isn't it rather suspicious that she came looking for us now?"
Bronya answered without hesitation."Trust Bronya, Major Himeko. Bronya wants Wendy rescued."
Kiana turned toward Himeko."Himeko, I don't think Bronya is being controlled right now."
Mei added quietly but firmly,"I believe Bronya wants to rescue Wendy as well."
Theresa scratched her head, then sighed."Alright, since you girls are so adamant about this... what the hell. Count me in."
Bronya responded immediately."Head to access C7 of the building."
Without wasting another second, the team rushed toward the designated point, smashing through multiple patrol mechs along the way. Theresa watched Kiana fight, her movements sharp and instinctive, and remarked again how much Kiana's style reflected Kaslana blood.
As they advanced, Theresa finally explained that she herself was a clone of a legendary Kaslana. Kiana, of course, immediately fired back—pointing out that Theresa must be ancient if she had fought alongside Kiana's father.
Theresa groaned at that, complaining about how Kiana only got clever at the most annoying moments.
Kouga, trailing just behind them, couldn't help but chuckle.
After smashing through several more patrol mechs and security units, the team finally reached their designated entry point. Himeko immediately reconnected with Bronya.
"Bronya, we're at entrance C7 now."
Moments later, the sealed gate began to slide open. Seeing the path clear, Kiana grinned.
"It's open! Awesome!"
Himeko raised her voice sharply."Be careful when you enter."
Bronya followed up at once."Bronya is sending you the building prints."
Data streamed into their devices, and without hesitation, the group rushed inside, splitting up to search for both Wendy and Bronya.
Theresa quickly gave orders."Kouga, Since you're the strongest of the group, You should go and find Wendy while the rest of us will go find Bronya."
Kouga nodded."Of course."
He deactivated Kamen Rider Shinobi and immediately transformed again—this time into Kamen Rider Ghost Ore Damashii. His body lifted off the ground as he phased cleanly through walls and floors, bypassing corridors and security doors with ease.
Before long, he located Wendy. She was inside a sterile medical room, struggling to push herself up from a bed. It was obvious she had just undergone surgery—her skin pale, her breathing shallow.
Noticing the armored figure, Wendy asked weakly,"Are you friend with the green and Black armor Knight that can control the Wind ?"
Kouga answered simply,"I am that Armor Knight."
Stepping closer, he saw how fragile she looked and asked quietly,"What happen ?"
Wendy forced a faint smile."They manage to remove the Gem of desire from my body, i don't have much time."
Her strength gave out, and she collapsed—but Kouga caught her before she hit the floor.
Clutching onto him, Wendy pleaded,"Please could you take me to Bronya-onee-chan"
Kouga carefully set her down and said."No problem, but first let's heal you first."
He released the Ghost form and immediately transformed again—this time into Kamen Rider Ex-Aid Level 1. For a brief moment, the world pixelated, as if reality itself had turned into a video game. When it returned to normal, chocolate-like cubes floated gently in the air.
Wendy stared—not at the strange environment, but at Kouga himself. The armor was short, chibi-like, and bulky, with exaggerated proportions: a huge helmet, stubby limbs, and a toy-like body straight out of an old 8-bit game. The bright pink, neon green, and white colors made him look more like a mascot than a warrior.
…And strangely enough, she found it cute.
Kouga casually smashed one of the floating chocolate cubes. It burst apart, revealing a silver medal depicting a man standing tall, flexing with renewed strength.
He tossed it toward Wendy.
Instinctively, she raised her hand to block—but the medal dissolved into light and merged with her body instead. Warm energy surged through her veins. The pain vanished. The weakness faded.
Wendy slowly stood up.
No trembling.No exhaustion.No pain.
She stared at Kouga in disbelief.
Kouga explained calmly,"Recovery energy item, it's have ability to heal the Target, tho there is a better one, but this should do the trick."
Tears welled up in Wendy's eyes. Overwhelmed, she suddenly hugged him tightly."Thank you, thank you so much for healing me."
Kouga awkwardly pried her off."No time for this, we need to regroup with the other."
Flipping the actuation lever on his belt, he upgraded instantly into Kamen Rider Ex-Aid Level 2, causing Wendy's eyes to widen even further.
Kouga summoned the Gashacon Breaker, switching it into sword mode, and handed it to her.
"Can you fight ?"
Wendy grasped the weapon, smiled confidently, and replied,"Don't underestimate me, i'm still an A-Rank Valkyrie after all."
Kouga nodded approvingly. Heavy metallic footsteps echoed outside the room. He turned toward the door and said calmly,
"Good cause We going to have company soon."
