The X-Men and Brotherhood fought with desperation against the relentless Sentinel onslaught, but the mechanical titans continued their advance, undeterred. Magneto, his powers focused, used his mastery of magnetism to keep the Sentinels at bay, deflecting their energy blasts and tearing apart their metallic frames.
Cyclops unleashed a barrage of concussive force, his optic beams slamming into the Sentinels' armor. But for every machine he brought down, two more emerged to take its place, their sensors locking onto the mutants with ruthless efficiency.
Wolverine roared as he slashed through the Sentinels, his adamantium claws rending their outer shells. Yet the sheer number of the machines threatened to overwhelm him, their collective weight and strength slowly pushing the X-Men and Brotherhood back.
Storm summoned powerful winds, whipping debris and rubble at the Sentinels, but their advanced programming adapted, their movements becoming more agile and coordinated. Magneto, his brow furrowed in concentration, manipulated the Sentinels' metal frames, tearing them apart with his magnetic might.
Jean Grey strained to lift the Sentinels with her telekinesis, but their weight and bulk proved too much for her to control. Quicksilver darted between the machines, disrupting their targeting systems, but the respite was only temporary.
The X-Men and Brotherhood fought with all their might, their powers clashing against the relentless Sentinel onslaught. Magneto, his face etched with determination, continued to shield his allies, deflecting the Sentinels' attacks and tearing them apart. But the mechanical titans, driven by their programming to eliminate the mutant threat, refused to be deterred.
Logan's gruff voice cut through the chaos. "Continuing this fight will only put us in a more dangerous position."
Scott's brow furrowed as he turned to Logan. "If you've got any bright ideas, now would be the time to share them."
While the fight was ongoing, the X-Men and Brotherhood suddenly heard a deep, rumbling roar that seemed to shake the very foundations of Asteroid M. Logan's eyes narrowed as he caught a familiar scent on the air.
"It's coming," he growled, his grip tightening on his adamantium claws.
Jean Grey turned to Logan, her brow furrowed in concern. "What's coming?" she asked, but before Logan could respond, a deafening crash shattered the air.
The wall of the chamber exploded inward, and the towering form of Castle Doran emerged, its massive dragon-like head roaring a challenge. The ancient, sentient fortress had arrived, its arrival heralding the arrival of a new, powerful player in the ongoing conflict.
Magneto's eyes widened as he sensed the immense power radiating from Castle Doran. "Impossible," he muttered, his concentration momentarily broken as he stared in awe at the majestic creature.
The X-Men and Brotherhood members paused in their battle, turning their attention towards the new arrival. A hush fell over the chamber as they all waited, uncertain of what this unexpected development would mean for the outcome of the conflict.
The towering form of Castle Doran loomed over the battlefield, its majestic presence commanding the attention of all who witnessed it. As the dust settled, three figures emerged from the ancient fortress, each radiating a distinct aura.
Rogue, her eyes wide with surprise, watched as Jiro, Ramon, and Riki stepped forward, their expressions ranging from stoic determination to eager anticipation.
"What are you all doing here?" Rogue asked, her voice laced with a mix of confusion and relief.
Jiro's deep, gruff voice rumbled in response. "We're here to rescue Ace. But it seems we've stumbled upon quite the party." His gaze swept across the battlefield, taking in the clash between the X-Men and the Brotherhood.
Ramon's eyes sparkled with excitement. "Well, this is going to be fun!" he exclaimed, his youthful enthusiasm a stark contrast to Jiro's reserved demeanor.
Riki, the towering figure, remained silent, his presence exuding a menacing aura that sent a shiver down the spines of those around him.
Jiro turned to his companions, a hint of a smile playing on his lips. "It's been a while since I've been able to stretch my muscles." Without another word, the three Arms Monsters began to transform, their bodies shifting and contorting as they took on their monstrous forms.
Jiro's frame expanded, his features becoming more wolf-like as fur sprouted across his body. Razor-sharp claws extended from his hands, and a low, guttural growl rumbled in his throat. The Garulu form had been unleashed.
Ramon's skin took on a vibrant green hue, webbed fingers and fins emerging as he shifted into the Basshaa form. His eyes gleamed with a predatory intensity, and a confident grin spread across his face.
Riki's massive body grew even larger, his skin hardening into a rock-like armor. Bolts of electricity crackled around him as he assumed the Dogga form, his towering presence exuding raw power and might.
The three Arms Monsters, now in their transformed states, turned their attention to the ongoing battle, their gaze fixed on the Sentinels that threatened their home and their allies.
Jiro's voice, laced with a feral edge, cut through the chaos. "It's time to show these machines the true strength of the Wolfen, the Merman, and the Franken."
With those words, the Arms Monsters charged into the fray, their powerful forms colliding with the Sentinels in a display of raw, primal fury.
Jiro, Ramon, and Riki joined the battle, their monstrous forms colliding with the Sentinels in a display of raw, primal fury. Garulu's claws tore through the machines' metallic frames, while Basshaa unleashed a torrent of high-pressure water blasts, and Dogga's massive fists smashed the Sentinels into scrap.
Kivat, the small bat-like creature, fluttered above the chaos, observing the battle. "Hold on, my friends!" he called out to the Arms Monsters. "I must find Ace!"
Without another word, Kivat darted off, his wings carrying him swiftly through the corridors of Asteroid M. He could sense Ace's presence, but the energy-dampening field made it difficult to pinpoint his exact location.
Rogue watched the Arms Monsters fight with a mix of awe and concern. "Jiro! Ramon! Riki!" she shouted, her voice barely audible over the din of the battle. "Where's Ace? Is he safe?"
Jiro's piercing yellow eyes locked onto Rogue's. "The young master is in danger," he growled, his voice rumbling with a primal intensity. "Kivat has gone to find him. We must hold the line until he returns."
Ramon flashed Rogue a reassuring grin. "Don't worry, Rogue! We've got this under control. Ace is in good hands!"
Riki, silent as always, merely nodded in agreement, his massive frame a bulwark against the relentless Sentinel onslaught.
...
In the chaos of Asteroid M, Kamen Rider Kabuto faced off against Wanda Maximoff, her hex binding him in place. Kabuto knew he had to break free, for the fate of New York City hung in the balance. As Wanda prepared to unleash another energy blast, Kabuto made a bold move.
"You leave me no choice," Kabuto declared, his voice resolute.
Reaching to his belt, Kabuto gripped the Zectmizer. With a flick of his wrist, he activated the device, and from its four ports, a swarm of tiny, insect-shaped drones emerged. These were the Mizerbombers, autonomous machines that could track and attack adult Worms, as well as any other targets.
The Mizerbombers, their wings buzzing, swarmed towards Wanda, surrounding her in a cloud of metal and motion. Wanda's eyes widened in surprise as the drones began to explode all around her, the concussive blasts breaking her hex and freeing Kabuto from her grasp.
Kabuto attacked, the Mizerbombers swarming Wanda and breaking her hex. Now free, he prepared his finisher, his right leg sparking with electricity.
Wanda, recovering from the drone assault, summoned her powers. Scarlet energy crackled around her hands as she met Kabuto's charge.
[1, 2, 3]
[Rider Kick]
Kabuto leaped, his Rider Kick hurtling towards Wanda with tremendous force.
Wanda poured all her strength into a massive hex bolt, the crimson blast colliding with Kabuto's attack in a dazzling display of power. The two forces grappled, electricity and energy intertwining as they fought for dominance.
Kabuto gritted his teeth, pouring more power into his kick. The Rider Kick began to push back Wanda's hex, inch by inch. Wanda's eyes narrowed in concentration, refusing to be overpowered.
The clash of energies shook the very foundations of Asteroid M, the two adversaries locked in a battle of wills. Neither was willing to yield.
Kabuto, with determination and will, manages to overpower Wanda's hex. His Rider Kick struck her squarely in the abdomen, the force of the impact knocking the Scarlet Witch out cold. As Wanda crumpled to the ground, Kabuto landed beside her, his stance relaxing.
"I'm sorry," Kabuto said, his voice tinged with regret. He had not wanted to harm her, but the fate of the city had left him no choice.
Kabuto raced through the winding corridors of Asteroid M, his footsteps echoing against the metallic walls. Reaching the central control room, he found Senator Robert Kelly bound to a chair, Magneto's ominous presence looming over him.
Kabuto wasted no time, quickly approaching the senator and assessing the restraints. With a few deft movements, he freed Kelly from the chains, the senator's eyes widening in recognition.
"You... you're that masked vigilante," Kelly stammered, his voice laced with confusion and distrust.
"I'm here to rescue you, Senator," Kabuto replied, his tone steady and resolute. "Magneto and the Brotherhood mean to harm you and the people of New York."
Senator Robert Kelly eyed the armored Kamen Rider with suspicion. "That's a lie," he spat. "I know Magneto plans to drop a bomb on New York. He wants to force humanity to submit to mutant rule."
Kabuto tensed, realizing the gravity of the situation. "It is excessive, I admit. But Magneto and the Brotherhood felt they had no choice, given your policies against mutants."
"My policies are for the betterment of humankind," Kelly asserted, his eyes narrowing. "Mutants pose a grave threat that must be contained. The Sentinels are a necessary measure to protect our citizens."
Kabuto's brow furrowed beneath his helmet as he replied, "Senator, your fear and mistrust will only fan the flames of hatred between mutants and humans. Resorting to such extreme measures will only breed more conflict."
Kelly scoffed, his jaw set with stubborn resolve. "You're a fool if you believe otherwise. Mutants are a cancer that must be excised before they destroy us all."
Kabuto's grip on the senator tightened as he warned, "The Sentinels will backfire, Senator. Their blind pursuit of mutants will only lead to more destruction and loss of innocent life."
But Kelly refused to heed the Kamen Rider's words, his features etched with unwavering conviction. Kabuto knew he would not be swayed, not when his fear and prejudice had taken such a firm hold.
Suddenly, a familiar fluttering sound caught Kabuto's attention, and he turned to see Kivat, the small bat-like creature, approaching him.
"Rider! You're okay!" Kivat exclaimed, his voice filled with relief.
"I'm fine, Kivat," Kabuto reassured him, shifting the weakened senator on his shoulder. "We need to get Senator Kelly to safety."
Kabuto shifted the weakened Senator Kelly on his shoulder and prepared to leave the control room. However, as he turned to depart, his gaze fell upon the unconscious form of Wanda Maximoff, Magneto's daughter, who had clashed with him earlier.
Kabuto paused, considering the young woman's plight. Despite their confrontation, he could not bring himself to leave her behind. Wanda, like so many others, had been swept up in the tumultuous conflict between humans and mutants, caught in the crossfire of her father's radical ideology.
With a resolute sigh, Kabuto gently lifted Wanda's limp body, cradling her in his arms. He knew that in this moment, his responsibility extended beyond just the senator's safety. These were lives he could not abandon, not when he had the power to make a difference.
Carefully, Kabuto made his way through the chaotic corridors of Asteroid M, the sounds of the ongoing battle echoing all around him. His sole focus was on ensuring the safety of those in his care, even if it meant facing the wrath of Magneto or the Sentinels once more.
