Last time, in Chained Soldier: Reflection of Survival, Itsuki reunites with his lost love, Aoba. While skeptical at first, he soon realizes it was truly her. Both embraced one another and learned what happened to one another. Both learned of each other's traumas and grew closer even after not seeing eachother for so long. If that wasn't enough, both Yachiho and Himari spoke to their mother, needing her help so the other chiefs and Commander could meet about what was happening on Earth. The two secured the meeting, though some grudges were still there for Himari, as well as unchecked emotions. Everything seemed like it was going well until the Seventh Unit and Kamen Riders decided to handle an army of Shuuki but discovered a Humanoid Shuuki was leading it. A fierce battle ended in the Shuuki's victory, only for Ouja to poison him and then nearly get killed by Tenka. With how things transpired, the Seventh Unit and Kamen Riders need to get stronger.

Mato

In Mato, the Sixth Unit was checking on the Seventh Unit, and all of them were seen in the medical bay, healing from their injuries. Nei was looking worried as all of her friends were hurt. Tenka was seen checking everyone's injury while Nei helped.

Nei: All of them really got hurt by the powerful Shuuki.

Tenka: Yes, we got lucky that Itsuki decided to inject Venosnaker's poison into that Shuuki to weaken it.

The two continued to look at the Seventh Unit, all of them resting from the fight with Rairen. Sahara was looking at the Seventh Unit at the injuries they sustained fighting the Humanoid Shuuki.

Sahara: I hope they are all okay.

Sahara looked worried for them. However, Yachiho was taking it the worst as she watched over Himari holding her hand.

Sahara: Yachiho, your sister is going to be okay.

Yachiho: I'm going to rip that damn Shuuki limb from limb if I ever cross paths with it.....

Sahara looks at Yachiho and pats her back.

Sahara: Yachiho, your sister is strong. She is an Azuma, right?

Yachiho: Damn right she is, but that doesn't mean I won't tear that bastard apart for doing this to her.....

As Yachiho continues to look after her sister, Nei comes over to her.

Nei: Himari and the others' vitals are stable, but they will be out of action for a while.

Itsuki: Son of a bitch, my whole body is numb and sore.....

Nei looks at Itsuki and quickly checks on him.

Nei: Itsuki, please do not try to move. Your body is still recovering from the shock and burn damage your body received.

Itsuki: Don't worry tiny, I don't have any plans of getting up from this bed. If my girlfriend were still around she'd be throwing a fit right now.

Itsuki let his mind wander to Aoba, deciding he better keep this fight to himself next time they met. Nei looks at Itsuki and smiles before giving him another ice pack for his body to recover.

Nei: Ituski I wanted to tell you something I didn't know if it was imagination but someone was watching you all fight.

Nei then pulls out a picture and shows a drawing of the people who were supposedly watching them.

Itsuki looks at the picture and frowns as there are more of those humanoid Shuuki. Yachiho grabs the drawing and glares at it.

Yachiho: We're going to track them down and make them pay for what they did to Himari.....

Itsuki: Man, Sarge was not kidding when he said you had a complex.

Yachiho's eyes widened and stared at Itsuki in horror.

Sahara: Oh you know that about Yachiho too, Itsuki?

Itsuki: Oh, yeah Sarge will take any chance he gets to talk about his kids, so I know a thing or two.

Yachiho: Oh really? What else did he say....

Yachiho looks at Itsuki wondering what her father told Itsuki.

Itsuki: Well the one thing he really stressed was you liked being carried when you were little. Said you'd get upset if he tried to set you on the ground.

Yachiho's eyes widened in horror while Sahara giggled hearing that.

Sahara: Yachhi, that is adorable. You really loved your father, didn't you?

Yachiho: Of course I did, mother only showed us affection when we accomplished things, that's the Azuma way. Father gave it unconditionally, even if he was a real drill sergeant at times.

Yachiho sighs remembering her childhood with her family before Dad got kicked out.

Sahara: Speaking of your father I heard that you and your sister were going to ask him to come to the meeting of the Commander and Chiefs.

Yachiho: Yes, I'll have to deliver that message to him. Although I don't wanna leave Himari's side.

Yachiho felt a hand on her shoulder as she turned to look at Tenka, who was giving her a sympathetic smile.

Tenka: Yachiho, go visit your father. I will look after Himari while you're gone. I think it might help you clear your head.

Yachiho looks at her Chief and then at her sister before nodding.

Yachiho: Alright, I'm only agreeing to this because it's you, Chief. Just don't get any funny ideas with Chief Uzen's lapdog, I saw you sneaking into his room the other day.

Tenka looks at Yachiho and giggles while Nei speaks up.

Nei: Yachiho, I know this is asking a lot but let me come with you. I believe both Units should explain the dire situation to your father. The Seventh Unit is important to me including Himari so please let me come with you.

Yachiho: Alright, but don't wander off from me, Himari mentioned your Blessing has no combat abilities. Last thing is I need you getting hurt by some creeps while on my watch.

Nei looked at Yachiho and nodded as she wanted to help. Tenka looks at Yachiho and Nei and smiles before creating a portal.

Tenka: This portal should take you to a street near the Kimura Detective Agency. That is if Yachiho gave me the right coordinates.

Nei: Please watch over my friends, Chief Izumo.

Tenka nodded and both Yachiho and Nei quickly went into the portal. Once gone Sahara looks at Itsuki with curiosity.

Sahara: I hope Yachiho visiting her father won't be dangerous.

Itsuki: You see, that's the first thing you need to learn about the Sarge, Sahara. He IS the danger, if anything threatens his kid I imagine he turned them into a stain on the ground.

Both Tenka and Sahara look at Itsuki surprised by this information.

Sahara: I don't know whether to be happy or feel sorry for the Shuuki when Yachiho and Himari's father come to Mato.

Tenka: Well, what that Shuuki did to his daughter will be motivation for him to come to Mato at the very least.

Japan

After going through the gate in Mato both Yachihio and Nei were seen in Japan. Yachiho was seen leading Nei to the Detective Agency that her father runs.

Nei: Wow, the city is as big as ever since I haven't been back here for a while. By the way, Yachiho, I heard from Himari that you and your father patched things up.

Yachiho: Yes, but I was the one who suggested calling our mother, that might make his life harder. Now I'm asking him to go to a meeting where she'll be present, he'll probably be uncomfortable......

Nei saw how nervous Yachiho looked mentioning her father which confused her.

Nei: Your father loves you right, Yachiho?

Yachiho: Yes, he made that explicitly clear during our last meeting.

Nei smiles at Yachiho and speaks again.

Nei: Then you will be okay. Besides, people are getting dragged into the Mirror World by either those Kamen Riders abusing their powers or Mirror Monsters. You didn't have a lot of options. Your father will understand; I know it.

Nei did her best to be supportive of Yachiho, who looks at the child and forgets that she is really smart and mature for her age.

Yachiho: You might be right, but Himari got injured and I wasn't there to protect her, he probably will give me an earful on that at the very least.

Nei: That wasn't your fault though. It's the Humanoid Shuuki's fault he was the one who hurt my friends and your sister. You can't blame yourself for something that was out of your hands!

Nei looked at Yachiho with a frown as she didn't like the older Azuma blaming herself.

Yachiho: Fine, but only because I know you won't let this go.

Nei: Good, I don't like you with a sad face. Now let's go see your father Yachiho.

Yachiho understood and the two continued to move through the city however as they did someone was seen watching them.

????: Oh it seems the daughter of the Veteran came back. I can finally get rid of that fool and have one less opponent for the grand prize.

The mysterious figure was seen reflecting from a window before moving away. After a few minutes of walking around, both Nei and Yachiho were seen at the detective agency. Nei stared at the Agency in awe.

Nei: Wow, Yachiho, your dad's agency looks amazing!

Yachiho: It's not much, Father said it's what he managed to set up.

Both Yachiho and Nei went into the building and then took the elevator to Yachiho's Father's office. After the ride up the elevator, both Yacihio and Nei walked down the halls and then stood outside the door that said, Detective Kimura. Yachiho quickly knocked on the door loudly so her father could hear her.

Yachiho: Father, I am here with an update.

Takeo: You may come in, Yachiho, I'm merely reviewing some of the missing person cases.

Yachiho then opened the door to the office, and both girls headed inside. There, they saw Takeo looking over some missing cases, making sure to double-check if any of the victims were dragged into the Mirror World. As he checked, Nei stared at Takeo for a moment before turning to Yacihiho.

Nei: Wow, Yachiho, your father looks so young for his age.

Yachiho: You should see my mother if you're surprised how young my father looks.

Yachiho quickly turned to her father and spoke up.

Takeo: You returned rather quickly, it's only been a day or two since we last met, did something catastrophic happen?

Takeo looks at his daughter curiously why she came back from Mato, to which Yachiho takes a deep breath before speaking again.

Yachiho: To start, I want to apologize. Given the severity of the situation with the Mirror World, we needed an emergency meeting to be held amongst the Chiefs. To help accomplish this, Himari and I contacted mother......

Takeo looked at her daughter for a moment but stayed calm and took a deep breath and then exhaled before sitting comfortably in his chair.

Takeo: Well I hope your mother doesn't come kicking down the door to my agency. The last thing I need is her scaring my employees.

Yachiho: It was my idea, I figured with our family's reputation, if mother requested a meeting alongside Chief Uzen and Tenka, Commander Yamashiro would have to listen. Are you mad?

Takeo looks at Yachiho before standing up from his seat which made her nervous but then her father patted her head and gave a small smile.

Takeo: Hardly, you used a resource to your advantage. Dealing with my personal problems is a small price to pay to ensure the safety of civilian lives.

Nei: Sorry, to interrupt but there is also another reason why we are here. My name is Nei Ookawamura and I am part of the Seventh Unit.

Takeo looks at Nei wondering what was the other reason.

Nei: Yesterday, the Seventh Unit, Itsuki, and Tai went out to exterminate a large horde of Shuuki that congregated in Mato. From their report, it was easy to wipe them out until a humanoid Shuuki named Rairen attacked them. The Seventh Unit, Itsuki, and Tai fought the Shuuki but it sadly ended with them defeated however Itsuki managed to poison the Shuuki and our Chief managed to rescue them.

Nei then pulled out a folder and handed it to Takeo who looked over it and his eyes widened seeing the injuries the Seventh Unit, Itsuki, and Tai sustained but his eyes were more glued to his daughter as he saw she had received second-degree burns from the Shuuki.

Nei: Had Chief Izumo not shown up all of them would have been dead sir....

Takeo: Right, apologies for focusing on personal matters, but how is Himari holding up?

Nei: Himari is still in a small coma, but she will pull through.

Takeo turned to look at Yachiho, who looked down at the floor in shame.

Takeo: Yachiho Azuma......

Yachiho: I-I'm sorry, I should've been there to protect her, but I had to worry about our base at the time an-

Yachiho was cut off by Takeo pulling her into a hug as he gently patted the top of her head with his left hand.

Takeo: Honestly, you know you don't have to be all guarded with me right? It must have been rough for you, seeing your sister in that condition.

Yachiho looks at her father before hugging him.

Yachiho: I still should've been there! If I cross paths with that Shuuki I swear I'll make it pay!

Takeo: I know you will, just hope you cross paths with it before I do, I might not leave much for you to work with.

Takeo continued to pat his daughter's head to calm her down while Nei smiled at them.

Nei: Sorry, to interrupt again but besides the meeting we would also hope you come to Mato to help with the Shuuki. As a member of the Seventh Unit discovered that humanoid Shuuki wasn't alone. Two other humanoid Shuuki were seen watching the battle unfold.

Yachiho: Your presence is also requested at the Chief meeting if it is greenlit to be held.

Takeo looked at the two girls before sighing and leaning against his desk.

Takeo: I suppose it's about time I begin an exploration into Mato once again. It's a tall order, but I could leave the operations of the agency and monitoring of the Mirror World to my right-hand man.

Nei: Thank you, Mr. Kimura, we appreciate your help. With everything that is happening, we need all the help we can get. Apologies if we are being inconvenient to your work.

Nei bows to Takeo for putting him in a bind but is happy that he is helping them.

Takeo: It's fine, however I'm more surprised the Anti-Demon Corps let someone so young join their ranks. Did your parents approve of you joining?

Nei: My parents are lost in Mato, sir.....

Takeo eyes widen upon hearing this and walks up to Nei before crouching down in front of her.

Takeo: My condolences then, however would it be alright if I did something?

Nei: Sure, I wouldn't mind.

Takeo gently wrapped his arms around Nei, pulling her into a hug. Nei looked shocked but then instinctively hugged Takeo back.

Takeo: A bit inappropriate for a Soldier to hug a stranger, but as a father I naturally want to comfort a distressed child.

Nei: I miss my parents, sir. I want to find them. I believe they are still alive hoping to be found.

Nei looked at Takeo with a hopeful look on her face.

Takeo: Yes, well you said your last name is Ookawamura correct?

Nei: Yes, Sir, that is my family's last name.

Takeo stood up before gently ruffling the hair on Nei's head.

Takeo: While my Agency's primary focus is the Mirror World, we do have a small team that focuses on cold cases. We keep a record of the names of people who have not been rescued or confirmed deceased after falling into Mato. I will check for Ookawamura on that list and see if I can't compile any possible information of where they were before their disappearance into Mato.

Nei looks at Takeo and smiles at him for the kind gesture.

Nei: Thank you for the kind gesture, Mr. Kimura. I really appreciate it.

Takeo smiles and stops hugging Nei but as she does her stomach grumbles a bit.

Nei: May I be excused to grab a snack? I saw a vending machine outside the hall.

Takeo: Be my guest, Yachiho and I can finish up things here.

Nei smiles and leaves the room leaving just Yachiho and Takeo. Takeo's daughter looks at him and smiles at the kindness he showed Nei.

Takeo: Has a date been set for this meeting yet?

Yachiho: Three days from now, Commander Yamashiro agreed rather quickly at the mention of the strange creatures, the missing persons cases, and of course those humanoid Shuuki becoming a major problem.

Takeo understood but sighs as meeting his wife again was going to be awkward. While Takeo worried about the meeting of the Commander and Chiefs, Nei was seen in the halls grabbing a snack from a vending machine. Nei was seen happily eating a box of pocky sticks.

Nei: Strawberry is always a good flavor.

As Nei continued to eat her pocky she didn't notice someone was in the reflection of the vending machine.

????: The daughter would be too hard to handle but this child would be perfect for my plans.

Before the mysterious person could do anything both Yachiho and Takeo were seen coming out of the office.

Nei: Hi, Yachiho, Hi Mr. Kimura.

Nei waved at the two which both were about to wave back until they saw the reflection of the vending machine.

Yachiho: Nei, get away from the vending machine!

Nei looked confused before a hand shot out of the vending machine's reflection grabbing Nei.

Nei: Help, it got me!

Nei yelled in fear before she was dragged into the reflection of the vending machine. Yachiho and Takeo looked in horror and acted quickly. Takeo and Yachiho quickly ran towards the vending machine.

Yachiho: Father, was that?

Takeo: Scissors, that bastard must've spotted us last time we went into the Mirror World. He most likely followed both of you here in the Mirror World to get some form of leverage against me.

Yachiho gritted her teeth as Scissors was using Nei for his own gain to hurt her father.

Yachihio: We're going to crush him right?

Takeo nodded and held up his Advent Deck towards the glass of the vending machine, the V-Buckle appearing around his waist in the reflection. The V-Buckle flew out of the reflection and strapped itself to Takeo's waist.

Takeo: Henshin!

Takeo slid his Advent Deck into the V-Buckle as three reflections of armor overlaid themselves on top of his body before solidifying.

Zolda: Take my hand Yachiho, we have a crustacean to crush.

Yachiho nodded and grabbed her father's hand and both moved through the vending machine and into the Mirror World.

Mirror World

Both Zolda and Yachiho were in the mirrored version of the agency and quickly looked around for Nei.

Yachiho: Where could he have taken her?

Nei: Let me go, you big meanie!

Nei yelled her voice being heard down the hall. Both Zolda and Yachiho quickly followed Nei's voice and as they did they saw a man wearing armor that resembled a crab. 

Scissors: Be quiet brat before I break that neck of yours!

Nei looks scared at Scissors hearing his threat.

Zolda: Break her neck? Funny you say that, I have half a mind to blow you to smithereens.....

Scissors: Zolda long time no see old man. Also, try that and this child will be on the receiving end of it.

Scissors pointed his sheer-like arm to Nei's neck.

Nei: Mr. Kimura I'm scared.

Nei trembled in fear as her life was on the line.

Zolda: What do you want? A spineless coward like you wouldn't waltz into my place of business unless you were confident you could get your way.

Scissors: You know me so well, Zolda. Simple really we fight of course. I plan on winning this game and once I do the Anti-Demon Corps will be a thing of the past.

Zolda slowly reached for the Magnuvisor holstered on his right hip but Scissors quickly put the Scissorsvisor close to Nei's neck slowly closing it.

Scissors: You want this child to die because you got an itchy trigger finger?

Zolda: So you don't wish to fight, you wish to merely beat me to death while using that child as insurance to prevent me from defending myself.

Scissors: Once again you are right.

Scissors pulls the Scissorsvisor away from Nei's neck.

Scissors: Face it, old man I won.

Scissors chuckled at his victory over Zolda which Yachiho grit her teeth in frustration as her father was being backed into a corner.

Yachiho: Father, I can use Golden Hour to retrieve Nei, you don't have to play his game.

Scissors: Oh how sweet your daughter wants to help you. I'll feel bad when I kill you in front of her.

Yachiho got angry and began to perform her pose only for Scissors to hold the Scissorsvisor up to Nei's neck again.

Scissors: Ah, ah, ah! Try anything and say goodbye to your friend. You like her with her head still on right?

Zolda: It's fine Yachiho, very well Scissors, you win. Do you wish for me to toss my Magnuvisor aside?

Scissors: Already thinking ahead old man. Make sure to toss it or this brat will be dead like her parents!

Nei's eyes widened before getting angry.

Nei: You're wrong my parents are alive!

Scissors: Kid your parents are gone but don't worry I will send you to them soon if the old man doesn't do what I say!

Zolda grabbed the Magnuvisor off his hip before tossing it on the ground between him and Scissors, Zolda then held his hands up in surrender.

Zolda: There Scissors, I'm unarmed, do as you please.

Scissors smiles and walks over to Zolda still holding Nei. As he was in front of Zolda he raised the Scissorsvisor.

Scissors: You should have worried about yourself, Zolda. After all its survival of the fittest.

Zolda however quickly grabbed Scissor's left arm, which the Scissorvisor was on before swiftly kneeing him in the gut with his right leg. The Kamen Rider released Nei as Zolda then twisted Scissor's left arm behind his back. Zolda then raised his right leg again before kicking Scissors square in the back, sending him stumbling forward. The Bull Kamen Rider then lunged at his Magnuvisor before grabbing it off the ground and firing three bullets into the disoriented Scissor's back, causing sparks to explode off his armor. As Nei was on the ground she quickly ran towards Yachiho and quickly hugged her. Yachiho calms Nei by hugging her.

Nei: I am sorry Yachiho for almost getting your father killed.

Yachiho: Father was never in any danger Nei, I underestimated just how stupid this Scissors truly is.

Nei smiled and giggled at Yachiho and as she did the sounds of groans could be heard and Scissors was seen getting up.

Scissors: No, I was so close! I could have won!

Zolda: Tell me Scissors, did you assume from our past encounters that if I didn't have a firearm to use I was completely defenseless?

Scissors: You were always relying on that thing! How could I be blind that you were also versed in hand-to-hand!

Yachiho looked at Scissors in disbelief, he couldn't be this much of an idiot right?

Yachiho: My father is a soldier that served our country, he could just as easily kill you with his bare hands as he could with a firearm or melee weapon.

Scissors: Damn it, damn it! I should have had my Contract Monster kill you instead of me!

Zolda: Yachiho, take Nei somewhere safe and wait for me to finish business with Scissors.

Yachiho looked at Zolda and nodded before picking up Nei and getting her to safety.

Scissors: No, I can still win this!

Scissors got up and tried to get past Zolda to reach both Nei and Yachiho. Zolda however aimed his Magnuvisor at Scissors before firing four bullets into his torso, causing more sparks to violently explode off his armor.

Scissors: Damn it, guess I will need some help with this.

Scissors drew a card from his Advent Deck and opened the Scissorsvisor and then placed it in the card slot before closing it.

Scissorsvisor: Advent!

A large humanoid mechanical crab appeared behind Zolda, striking him across the back with its claws.

Sparks exploded off Zolda's armor as he stumbled forward.

Scissors: Volcancer, go after those girls I will handle Zolda!

Volcancer clicked his claws and quickly went after the girls leaving Scissors with Zolda.

Scissors: Those two are dead when he catches them. They'll be a great meal for him.

Zolda: Unfortunately for you my daughter is far more intelligent than you are Scissors. However, will you be able to handle me now that you're all alone with no leverage or backup?

Scissors gritted his teeth and quickly drew another card and inserted it into the card slot of the Scissorsvisor before closing it.

Scissorsvisor: Strike Vent!

A claw-like gauntlet appeared on Scissor's right arm. 

Scissors: Volcancer is chasing after those girls you won't be able to protect them while I keep you busy! Either he eats them or they are erased from existence, time ticking and I am going to use that time!

Scissors then raise the Scissorspinch and charges at Zolda and then thrusts the gauntlet at him. Zolda sidesteps the attack before raising his left leg and swiftly kicking Scissors in the right side of his ribcage. The Crab Kamen Rider crashed into the wall as Zolda pulled back the barrel on Magnuvisor, causing the card slot to eject from the magazine. Zolda drew a card from his Advent Deck before inserting it into the card slot and closing it up.

Magnuvisor: Strike Vent!

Zolda raised his left arm as a gauntlet with two golden bull horns covered his fist, between the horns was a barrel-like opening.

Zolda: I'm done playing games with you Scissors....

Zolda reeled back his left arm with the Gigahorn on it as Scissors shakily stood up. Zolda slammed the Gigahorn into the other Kamen Rider's torso, the horns stabbing into his sides before an energy blast was fired from the barrel. Sparks exploded off Scissors body as he was sent crashing into the wall again. As Scissors crashed into a wall he looked shocked at what Zolda's strike vent did to him.

Scissors: It acts like a Shoot Vent to?!

Scissors quickly got up and then glared at Zolda. Scissors uses the Scissorspinch and picks up some rubble in the building before tossing it at Zolda. Zolda rolled across the ground before he swiftly lunged into the main room of the Mirror World version of his Detective Agency. The Bull Kamen Rider scanned the room until he spotted Yachiho firing on Volcancer with her pistol, the bullets hitting the Contract Monster, but doing minor damage at best. Nei hid behind Yachiho, a nervous expression on her face.

Nei: It's not slowing down!

Nei looked scared as the Contract Monster was coming for them. Volcancer clicked his pincers angrily and lunged both his claws at the two girls. Yachiho quickly performed her pose as the golden clock appeared behind her.

Yachiho: Golden Hour! Freeze Time for Five Seconds!

Time froze as Yachiho quickly grabbed Nei before running to the other side of the room, making it half way before time started to move again. Volcancer looked around in confusion, not understanding where its prey had gone. However Volcancer was shot in the back three times as sparks exploded off its back. Volcancer turned around only to see Zolda standing there with the Magnuvisor aimed at it.

Zolda; Your fight is with me now.....

Scissors: Forgot about me, old man?!

Scissors swipe at Zolda with the Scissorspinch striking his back causing sparks to explode off it as well as sending him crashing to the ground.

Scissors: Did you honestly forget about me, old man? Guess, having both girls in the Mirror World led to an advantage after all!

Scissors clicked his gauntlet's pincer and went for another strike at the Bull Kamen Rider. As the Crab Kamen Rider attacks Zolda while he is down, the Bull Rider swiftly kicks Scissor's legs out from under him, causing him to fall back first onto the ground. Zolda then turned to see that Volcancer was once again stalking towards Yachiho and Nei, his daughter was currently in the process of reloading her pistol.

Zolda: Yachiho, catch!

Zolda tossed the Magnuvisor at Yachiho, who dropped her pistol before catching the weapon. Yachiho clutched the weapon with both hands as she aimed it at Volcancer. Yachiho pulled the trigger as she fired three bullets into Volcancer's torso, sparks exploding off the monster's body causing it to stumble backwards into two desks. Yachiho however hissed in pain after firing the Magnuvisor.

Yachiho: Ow, this thing has some serious recoil!

Nei: Well at least it gets that scary crab monster away from us.

Nei still looked scared however the sound of Zolda yelling in pain could be heard and the two saw Zolda being raised up by Scissors using his Scissorspinch before slowly squeezing his body.

Scissors: Should have shot me instead old man now your daughter is going to see you die!

Zoda: Oh really? I personally think I'm in a rather favorable position.

Zolda reeled back his left arm before slamming the Gigahorn into Scissor's head, an energy blast firing from the barrel. Sparks exploded off Scissors's helmet as the Crab Rider crashed to the ground, releasing Zolda. The Bull Rider quickly grabbed Scissors by the shoulder with his right hand, yanking him to his feet. Zolda forcefully pushed Scissors towards one of the desks before slamming the Gigahorn into his torso again. The horns stabbed into Scissors, before another energy blast was fired that sent the Crab Kamen Rider flying backwards and crashing on top of the desk, breaking it in half. Scissors yelped in pain and looked at Zolda confused and angry.

Scissors: I don't understand how you can still fight when both of those girls' lives are at risk! You should be scared of losing them yet you can still fight me!

Zolda: You're right, I am scared of losing my daughter, but I also trust her to take care of herself. She's a proud member of the Anti-Demon Corps, she fights monsters for a living. You really think this little setup of yours is gonna scare her to the point where she can't function?

Scissors gritted his teeth under his helmet and turned to Volcancer.

Scissors: Kill the girls Volcancer! I don't care if they are no longer lever-

The Gigahorn was slammed into Scissors's gut as he was knocked off his feet and sent flying towards the other side of the room.

Zolda: Yachiho!

Yachiho: Golden Hour! Freeze Time for Five Seconds!

Time froze as Yachiho positioned herself in front of the airborne Scissors, she stood at an angle so Volcancer was right behind the Kamen Rider Yachiho took aim with the Magnuvisor as time started to move again. Yachiho fired three bullets into Scissor's torso, sending the Kamen Rider flying towards Volcancer before he crashed into the Contract Monster, knocking it off its feet. Scissors and Volcancer crashed to the ground in a heap as Zolda and Yachiho walked towards them.

Scissors: No way, how could I lose. I had everything planned!

Yachiho: You underestimated the Anti-Demon Corps, we fight literal monsters, you are a bully who falls apart the moment someone stands up to you. What hope does a failure like you have against us?!

Scissors glared at Yachiho but knew he was outmatched.

Scissors: I will be back old man and I will finish you! Volcancer, get us out of here!

Volcancer immediately creates a mirror portal and Scissors holds onto escaping the agency leaving Zolda and Yachiho alone.

Yachiho: Father are you okay? That coward got some nasty hits in.

Zolda: I'm fine Yachiho, nothing some minor first aid won't fix. How's Nei, is she injured at all?

Nei appears behind Zolda before bowing at him.

Nei: I am sorry, I should have reacted faster before that meanie grabbed me and took me into the Mirror World.

Zolda: It's fine Nei, the important thing is that you are safe. Now we should probably get back to the real world. You two shouldn't spend more time here then you need to.

Nei understood but then smiled at him.

Nei: Well it wasn't all bad, you and Yachiho saved me plus now I can see Mirror Monsters and Kamen Riders in the reflections of things, I am more helpful now.

Zolda smiles under his helmet as Nei acts adorable.

Zolda: That's good, I imagine your Blessing most likely functions here as well. If Yachiho's works here, yours should as well.

Nei smiled upon hearing this and then tried her blessing and her body glowed as she did she stopped and held her head in pain.

Yachiho: Are you okay Nei?

Nei: I saw something I shouldn't have, and some strange man told me I shouldn't be here. I couldn't make it out, but I think I saw the hooded person you mentioned, Mr. Kimura.

Nei rubbed her head in pain feeling the migraine she just received.

Zolda: We can discuss that later, for now we should return to our world.

Zolda scooped Nei up in his arms as he carried her over to the vending machine. Yachiho grabbed her father by the shoulder before all three of them walked through the glass of the vending machine.

Kimura Detective Agency

In Takeo's office, both Yachiho and Nei were seen drinking tea while Takeo was drinking coffee.

Nei: Thank you for making the tea Mr. Kimura is helping me relax after what happened today.

Takeo: I'm sorry you got caught up in my mess. Scissors has made attempts on my life for the last two months. Always using some form of underhanded tactic in hopes of getting the upper hand. It appears you were the latest one.

Yachiho: At least he seems to fall apart as his plans unravel. That makes him an easy target if you can throw a wrench into whatever scheme he has laid out.

Takeo looked at Yachiho, concern evident in his eyes.

Takeo: How are your wrists Yachiho? I imagine the recoil of the Magnuvisor was a bit jarring.

Yachiho looks at her wrist still feeling a bit of strain from shooting the Magnuvisor.

Yachiho: I honestly don't know how you fire that thing with only a single hand.

Takeo: The armor helps, it enhances the wearer's physical attributes. You however were able to handle it, just as I thought you would.

Yachiho looked at her father and smiled at him.

Nei: Yeah, you were amazing, Yachiho you managed to beat that big crab monster all by yourself!

Yachiho: Just barely, that Contract Monster was stronger than that other Mirror Monster we encountered the last time saving that woman.

Yachiho remembered how Himari nearly got killed by that Mirror Monster. She then became worried that her sister might fight a Contract Monster making her feel tense which her father noticed.

Takeo: Yachiho, it's okay. Leave the Mirror World to me, you and your sister have enough on your plates with Mato.

Yachiho: We have an entire organization behind us, who do you have, Father?

Takeo smirked as Yachiho before leaning back in his chair.

Takeo: An eccentric bunch of misfits who all have their own reasons for joining this twisted game. A bunch of misfits that need to convince the single most influential organization on the planet that we're not a threat.

Nei: He has you there, Yachiho.

Nei continued to drink her tea while Yachiho's left eye twitched a bit.

Yachiho: Hopefully mother won't strangle you on sight at the meeting.....

Takeo: Come now Yachiho, we both know your mother would never throw her professionalism out the window. I am merely a memory in the rear view mirror of her life at this point.

Yachiho sighs at her father's words but nods at him.

Yachiho: I hope you are right, please be careful. Tenka should be more than happy to support you there.

Nei: We will send someone to pick you up, Mr. Kimura for the meeting. I hope the next three days won't be stressful for you.

Takeo: I'll be fine, this entire thing should go smoothly once we present our findings so far.

Both Nei and Yachiho smiled at Takeo as the meeting was going to happen.

Yachiho: We can only hope things will go well.

Yachiho looks outside the window as the biggest meeting for the Organization will be held soon.
