Welcome to Gaia! ::

*Sparking from the hit, Ardence stumbled back before attempting another slash. In the instance that it would likely block, he tried to use the situation to his advantage and fire the Crius at a more point blank range while the monster would be distracted with the sword.*

*Quickly pulling his sword up, he managed to block the kick to his head in time. However the rider wasn't quick enough to block the fist's attack and was hit hard by the attack. Stumbling to his side for a moment, he quickly back stepped.* Damn, this monster is on another level. I'll have to pick things up myself.

*Forming two geardens, he placed them into his belt and pushed the slab back into place. The top formed two card slots as the second gearden affected Ardence in an unseen way. Firing his Crius to distract the worm, or attempt to, he shook the sword and made a single card appear. Letting it drop into his belt, he quickly pushed it all the way into the slot to activate it.*

*The dense armor of the rider managed to make the piercing attack not actually go through, but it did cause the armor to spark and launched him through the air. Rolling on the ground and groaning a bit in pain, he hadn't expected the attack. However, he laughed a bit as he got back up.* Too bad, you showed your hand to me. I know for sure what type of creature you are now.

*As he was getting up, his belt responded and summoned the rider he had slotted in before. "KIVOID" the belt announced as the blue colored bat-like rider appeared in front of Ardence. The rider took out a fuestle and used it immediately, summoning a light blue object into their hand. As they grabbed hold of it, their color shifted from the darker blue to the light blue tone.*

~Orphnoch~
The added power of the Gorilla Arms appeared to do a little bit more damage as a few sparks erupted and grey insectoid itself moved a little with each impact. However the Orphnoch quickly countered by grabbing each arm as they were punched and tucking them under its own arms.

The Arch Orphnoch then picked up Dragoon and slammed him down on the hard ground. Picking up the rider again, Arch attempted to send the rider flying into one of the tall piles of dirt.

~Worm~
The Worm looked over at the summoned rider and got up from the kneeling position it had assumed when delivering its last attack to Ardence. Seemingly giving in to the trap, the worm used it's "speed" and after images to appear in front of rider. As before, seemingly not giving the blue rider enough time react, he attempted to deliver a powerful punch to the rider's chest.

((Believe me Itami, I haven't brought out the worm's true power yet. You and Sai both will experience the horror of both their abilities soon enough. 3nodding ))

The Worm found it somewhat difficult to compete with the wind blasts in its non speed up form. As it tried to dodge, several blasts of wind found their mark on the Worm's side sending it to the side somewhat.

The worm, however, quickly regained its footing and used its arm blade like attachments to bat the summoned rider out of the way with a powerful double slash.

Even the summoned managed to dodge or counter somehow, the Gryllus Worm had already used a quick burst of its "speed" to appear on the side of Ardence....

*Sparking, Kivoid flew into the air from the attack. As he was midair and the worm was charging over to Ardence, time slowed and Kivoid seemed to slowly hang in the air. As this occurred, Ardence himself seemed to speed up as his belt echoed the ZECT style rider's, declaring "CLOCK UP". As time slowed around him, Ardence quickly rose his gun up and began firing at the worm on his own time-zone-turf. As he fired, he rushed in himself to try and slash the worm with Era's sword.* Lycid... Era... I'll make sure the powers and courage I gained from you both won't go to waste!

Dragoon yelled in pain. He groaned and tried to get to his feet. "Damn it...you b*****d. Time to fire things up."

He grabbed his core medal and flipped it over. He prayed this was going give him the upper hand. Sighing he tapped the horns and stood up straight as he transformed into burst mode. "Okay..lets see if you can handle this."

Dragoon burst waited for them to get closer. When they did, he brought his leg around with a high kick, flames trailing behind his leg. "Hiya!"
