Let’s make this a Wonderful Shuffle

Hikari was already at full stride when his armor erupted from within the bracers, latching on to each of his limbs and forming the black mesh armor beneath. “Hikari Sword!” The card swiped, the sword formed, and Hikari slid himself towards the creature. One upward slash was all it took.. One arm caught Inochi, the other his sword. While Skullger’s hand fell to the ground splattered with black ooze blood spraying from the fresh wound.
“You recover, this Monster’s mine.” Inochi hated being coddled, but he was right. She wasn’t in a condition to argue right now. So she moved away while Hikari turned himself towards the beast. “You think missing hand stop me.. I Skullger! I King’s Strongest!” “Feh.” Reaching for the Stacker Brace Hikari displayed a brand new card. “Calamity.” The card swiped only to launch skyward, expanding once.. Then twice.. Becoming a brand new weapon system. Attaching against his shoulders were new guards, strength enhancers leading down towards his hands along his arms. As a new sword shaped into his free hand.. Giving him a new set of duel broad swords the size of claymores. And with the enhances, he easily hefted both as though they weighed nothing at all. /KAMEN RIDE… HIKARI CALAMITY!/
“Full Charge.” The ends of the sword handles rested against his hips, sword blades aimed outward as they began gathering all the available light. Drawing in everything until the world around him once again became that negative image.. Freezing the world, and Skullger in midst ride holding his powerful axe. “Unleash.” /KAMEN RIDE CALAMITY DESTRUCTION!/ Hikari began to spin, both swords creating a huge vortex of energy around him as he began moving at blinding speed.. Straight through the charging Skullger, only to slice straight through him again and again. And when it stopped, the world became normal, and in that instant Skullger detonated in a large explosion behind him.
Hikari though was to weak to stay upright much longer, finally collapsing backward onto the rubble strewn pavement. Inochi followed, rushing towards Hikari only to de-armor as she slid onto his knees beside him. “Taro?!” She thought for a second he might passed out.. Or worse. But his pulse felt strong.. And why was he grinning?!
“How about a kiss make me feel better?” … “IDIOT GAIJIN!” Punching him square in the stomach, she laid back on her bottom. With her hands pressed into the pavement for support. “I was honestly worried about you for a second. .. But thank you, for coming.. Finally.”
He’d answer but he was still groaning and rolling around from that stomach strike, only to end up on his side facing towards his fellow Rider. “You’re welcome… God between you and your sister I’m going to end up nothing but one big bruise..”

“We can only hope Rider.” Both of them turned, becoming wide eyed at what they saw appear.. The skies above them became dark, swirling with storm clouds around the descending temple in the center. Both Riders shielded their eyes as three strikes of Lightning cracked down onto the pavement, revealing the three Gods themselves walking along the destroyed road.
Taro winced, forcing himself to stand. Already pulling his Henshin card free from within the Stacker Brace. But Miyumi held his wrist. She didn’t have to say it, he knew he wasn’t up for this fight. He hadn’t healed yet. But what choice had they? “You must be the assholes I’m supposed to fight, nice of you to all come down at once.. You usually don’t see that kind of service in overpowered asshats.” Sarcasm, secret weapon two.
Shi chuckled. The sound amplified with more lightning strikes crackling between the gathering storm clouds overhead. “You do not lack for confidence Boy. I am Shi, God of Darkness and Death. And I have come to see the face of this new Kamen Rider. And offer you a warning, Boy. My minions never tire, they never stop, they never surrender. And they will eventually wear even you down.. So you can continue to fight. And you can fail. Or you can surrender to me now.. And save yourself so much pain.”

Taro answered alright. By chucking a nearby brick right between gruesome’s eyes. Ha, he made Miyumi smile. He considered that a win already. “How about you to hell instead? HENSHIN!” The card ran across the scan bracer.. And nothing happened. Taro tried again, but nothing. He couldn’t transform! Miyumi ripped out her own card and tried scanning hers, but nothing happened. Neither of them could Henshin?
“Confused, Boy?” The three creatures each laughed, slowly turned, and returned skyward back into their temple. Leaving the very confused pair on the street watching them go. “Come on, Taro.. We need to talk to Asuka.”
