Victoria takes cover, as her wounds are mended both by her natural regeneration and Haruka's doll! Good for her too, as a grenade whistles past the space where her head was just a moment ago. She hears the stomping of metal boots approaching her quickly, however, so she should probably figure something out quickly.

Yamal continues her rampage, cleaving her way through the crowd of mooks. She's having so much fun, she only notices the sound of boots running towards her seconds too late.
"Final Trigger: Sun! Rider Jump!"
She turns at the noise, recognising it as similar to the voice from Penelope's belt, her machineguns turning to fire but their target seemingly ignorant or impervious to her bullets, and-
"Final Trigger: Rider Kick!"
A flying foot hits Yamal dead on in the chest as she turns to intercept the attack.

The Russian icebreaker, for a few moments, thinks she can handle this. Then the explosion occurs.

A few seconds later, as she's lying at the base of a nearby wall, her coat burnt and torn in places, the rigging on her back dented and crushed, she realises this newcomer is more than ready to tangle with her. She eyes the opponent carefully; their armour is similar in design to Penelope's and the soldiers, almost as if it's an intermediate stage between them, with brown metallic parts and a golden undersuit. The motif on their chest seems to be of a stylized sun, rather than a wheel or the various coins, swords, staves and cups. Their helmet's visor consists of a gold circle, with a small mouthpiece underneath. They stop and stare at Yamal, surprised; perhaps he meant to take her down more definitively with that kick.

As she feels her injuries being repaired by her somewhat shocked crew, the icebreaker realises she may have a nice fight on her hands.

Pluton prepares to charge once more, ignoring the feeling of a small prick on his arm as Evridiki's shot hits its mark and the warmth of Haruka's doll around his back. Some of the pain of being blasted aside begins to fade as Evridiki's medicine and Haruka's magic do their work, bruises fading and cuts sealing. The man blasts a few lasers at his opponents, the armour taking most of the blow. One man attempts to duck away from being hit only for the laser to turn in midair, defying all laws of physics to strike him in the back.

Dackly and Gozer attempt to tag-team one soldier, with Gozer's gravity magic beginning to take hold. Just as he does, however, the soldier whips out a card from his own belt and immediately scans it.
"Trigger: Knight of Swords!"
He delivers a punch to the golem with a fist surrounded by swirling energy, as the golem is thrown back into the fountain Victoria was upon a moment ago, smashing the side open and letting the water within pour out onto the sidewalk. Dackly, however, swiftly avenges the attack by tackling the soldier down by the head, smashing it onto the concrete to knock him out, yanking the Shift Card from his holder and scanning it, demorphing the now-unconscious woman under the gorgon. She would also notice that any weapon that the woman had on her has vanished with her armour, just as Penelope's spear only appeared with her own armour.

6AR, meanwhile, goes for the direct approach, divebombing an opponent and slashing at them furiously. This time, the single opponent is far too untrained to keep up with them and succumbs quickly, being knocked aside, unconscious, The droid immediately detransforms him using the procedure Penelope barked out, revealing a man who seems far more suited to being a schoolteacher than a murderous stormtrooper. Suddenly, however, damage alarms go off in their head as a soldier behind him shoves their baton into their jetpack, either deliberately or blindly in an attempt to hurt the droid. They are unable to tell easily which one it is.

Penelope continues her assault, kicking one of the other soldiers aside and scanning another card across her belt.
"Trigger: Strength!"
As her weapon changes in her hands into a sword, she thrusts it into an unfortunate opponent, with the point of contact sparking and emitting a pulse. The blast blows back the unfortunate victim, throwing him aside next to Gozer, conveniently putting him in place for detransforming.

Wilson's shots find their mark this time, with weapons being shot at. The weapons seem undamaged by his bullets, so they're rather tough, but he's certainly distracting them. However, he may need to rethink his strategy, as-
"Trigger: King of Swords!"
A soldier is running straight at him with a baton glowing with energy. He may want to get out of the way of that.

Meanwhile, the other newcomer calls across as he casts another opponent aside.
"Penelope! You're here!"
"Not now, Tatsuya! We'll talk later! Let's stop these guys first!"
Tatsuya- or so he is presumably called- nods and begins attempting to clear his way to Penelope and her group. He swipes a card across his own belt, as his swords swirl with flame and he parries another pair of attacks.

Haruka goes for her own offensive, charging in and delivering a swift stab with her gunlance onto a group of opponents and throwing them aside. However....
"Final Trigger: Moon! Rider Jump!"
She turns around to see a person soaring towards her with a fist swirling with energy. She puts up her shield, attempting to defend against it.
"Final Trigger: Rider Punch!"
The force of the punch, despite her defense, throws Haruka aside. The girl manages to stop herself from going too far by planting her gunlance in the ground, staring down at her newfound opponent. This opponent has grey armour and a gold undersuit, with a stylized moon on their chest. Their helmet visor is a gold semi-circle with a mouthpiece underneath, similar to their other companion facing down Yamal; indeed, both newcomer Riders seem to be parallels of each other in design.

This one cracks their knuckles as they advance upon the magical girl. Haruka senses she should get ready for a real fight.

((this time, it's time to settle the age old question
magical girl versus kamen rider
who wins))

Emilia giggles as she continues petting Frank.

Raleigh closes his eyes and sighs.

meanwhile none of the girls are into caderyn but she's managed to be shipped with the only two human males (edgy tentacle dude isn't human )

ftfy

Raleigh and Emilia exist.

Emilia smiles brightly at her. "It's okay!"

Raleigh nods, noting that down for future reference.

"Long as you don't trash the place, you don't have to repay me anything."

"More of that and I'd have been the other pack of tissues."
