Marcel ran. It had been a month since he had fought Psyga, and since then, he had fought weaker creatures, dealing with them with his Arms Driver. But this was something he couldn't deal with.
He slid behind a building, lifting his firearm to his chest. He sat silently, waiting, waiting...
He rolled as the building's wall was slashed in half. He span around on the balls of his feet and fired, but the demon shrugged off his attacks again.
This demon wasn't the one he owed a debt to. It never spoke, and only hunted him. Why? Because he was a Rider? Perhaps.
He had seen it kill people as he fled, but he couldn't let that stand. Marcel knew he had to fight, and tried, but not even his most powerful attack had worked on this thing.
It was tall, taller than him. It had flowing cape-like protrusions coming from its rounded shoulders. It had clawed hands and feet, spikes coming from its knees and elbows, as well as its shoulders. It had a thick, armored body, with a vicious head, a maw of razor sharp teeth, and two piercing crimson eyes.
Marcel shouted, lifting his gun and firing at its head, only dazing it for a moment before it continued to walk towards him.
Always walk. Never run. That's what it did.
It frightened Marcel that it acted like that.
He ran from it, away from people, hoping to spare as many as possible. He had to think of something, so he slid behind a building and began to use his armor, bringing up a display on his HUD. A phone number displayed, and he used his helmet to place a call.
"Suzie...please...pick up..." He muttered, needing her help. After all, she was the only other Rider he knew he could trust.

This was her magnum opus. The camera was pointed at just the right angle, the lighting was brilliant and the subject was in the best possible place. One click and she'd have the best photograph ever in the bag. Her finger lowered down on the button an-
And then she heard "Girls Just Wanna Have Fun" and she hesitated for a second. In that second her subject moved away. She looked up made a small mewl of disappointed and lowered her camera. She took the phone out and answered it without even looking at the number.
"Whoever this is you have just ruined my best work!" She shouted down the phone "This had better be good!"

"Suzie! I'm sorry about whatever I interrupted, but I need help!" Marcel said quickly, "This...this thing...I can't beat it alone...please! Please come and help me!" He abruptly cut off and ran as the demon neared his position. He span and fired, but nothing happened.

"Marcel!?" Suzie shouted down the phone "Marcel!?"
Where was he!? He might not even be in the same country let alone be near enough t-
Several army vans sped down the street along with two or three trucks with "Armed Response Unit" on the side. All of them speeding towards a fire in the middle of the city. Suzie watched for a second and got on her own bike gunning after them, she'd either found Marcel or something just as bad as what he was facing ...

Marcel ran into an alley and ran around the block, getting behind the creature, assembling his weapon as he went. He fired into its back, shouting as he fired, but nothing happened as it was struck.
What was this?

Suzie's bike rushed around the corner and through the vans. A soldier with a gun was about to shout at her that it was dangerous when he was interrupted by a giant blue dragonfly speeding past him and after the girl.
Suzie caught sight of Kamen Rider Arms, as she transformed. She gunned her bike into high gear and skidded underneath the demon, planning to topple him with a low att-
CRUNCH!
Her body jolted and her bike fell onto her right leg. She glanced up, she'd just run a Honda gold wing into his leg and he hadn't even budged! She looked down and then resorted to firing at the demon's back ...

Marcel swore and lowered his weapon, racing to Suzie. He grabbed her by her chest and pulled her back, getting her away from the demon as it turned to face them, slow as usual.
"Nice try." Marcel told her, "But it doesn't go down that easily."

"Great ..." Suzie muttered "What haven't you tried yet?"

"I've tried everything." Marcel answered, "Except one thing..." He undid his transformation and reached into his pocket, removing a small crimson sphere from his pocket.
All that remained of his Sabre Driver.
He placed it into the central spot on his Driver and transformed again without a word, and without snapping his fingers. This time it worked instantly, his Driver crackling crimson.
"Can you distract it?" Marcel asked, taking a gamble.

"I thought that the sabre driver was broken!" Suzie snapped.

"It is. You gave me this as the final remains of it, remember?" He questioned, trying to get the power under control, "Just buy me a little time. Since this is all that remains, I doubt it'll hold for long, but I need to take this gamble..."
He put his hand over it as the crimson light grew stronger, as the remains of Sabre melded with Arms.
(she did give it to him, right after Thomas kicked his ass and then fled from his fight with Suzie)

"I know that!" Suzie snapped "But how is it still worki-" She shook her head and focused."Nevermind! Cast off!"
She pulled the tail of her zecter, and with a mechanical "CAST OFF" armour was flung all across the street, most of it hitting the demon, none of it doing anything to stop him.
"This plan had better work!" Suzie shouted over her shoulder, firing her gun at the hellspawn before her.

"I'm praying that it will." Marcel replied, moving his hand away from the light, letting it shine over his armor. He prayed that the powers of Sabre, granted by God, would work with the demon's Arms powers.
As light shone over his armor, it began to open up, changing from gray to white and yellow at points, like his shoulders, parts of his arms and legs, and his torso, taking on some of Sabre's color scheme and aesthetics.
He held his gun up, which began to bathe in the light. The crimson top began to glow, and then slid open to both sides. Marcel put a dagger on each end and put his tonfa and staff on over the barrel. Strings of energy emerged from the daggers, becoming like a bow as his other finger went to the trigger of the blaster.
The unstable light of his crystal would only power him for so long. He lifted his bowgun up and took aim at the demon, "Here. Arms Savior Mode." He said, pulling back on the "bow", and releasing while pulling the trigger, sending an arrow-like blast forward, made entirely of the holy power of Sabre.
It impaled the demon, bringing it to its knees, but only for a moment. It rose again, then fell again, its body cracking all over as Arms returned to normal, his weapons also changing back, and the crystal falling and shattering at his feet.

Suzie looked from the demon falling to pieces before her and then back to Marcel.
"Wh-what just happened?" She asked, very confused.

"I powered my Arms Driver with the last bits of Sabre's powers. It seems to have worked. I was able to strike spirits with Sabre, remember?" He asked, "I figured it could work here...."
The demon roared and shattered, but it only molted, it seemed. It still stood, its flesh rippling, changing into a more muscular form, while remaining a normal sized frame, though slightly taller than a normal person.
"It...didn't kill it..." Marcel muttered.
