Case 1: Sword Maiden and The Arrester.
Â
It was raining, and occasion thunderclaps could be heard.
âI think we are safe here, they wonât find us.â
The young maiden peek around from inside a tiny cave. Inside, sheâs accompanied by a man, a dying one, covered with blood and wounds. Looks like they are chased by someone... or something.
âArianne...â
âPlease, save your strength. Once we are able to reach a village, we could treat your wound.â
âNo... itâs... to... lat... an.wa...â
âHero!â
Using his last strength, he reached his pendant with his right hand, pulled it, and tried to give it to Arianne.
As the pendant was pulled from his neck, it starts to shine. A faint voice could be heard from the pendant.
âYou sure wanted to hand me to her?â
â.......â
The man, the wounded hero, dont have any strength left to reply, only smiles, faintly.
As Arianne accepted the talking pendant, all of the remaining strength inside the hero fades away. Â He has fallen. The great Hero, the one who should have led the world towards peace, has passed away.
Arianne cried, as loud as she could. The thunderclaps roared, covering her cry from her surrounding.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
2 years later, humanity still struggles with a war with Demons. Since the fall of their Mighty Hero, looks like all hope and dreams gathered is lost. Almost 70% of human territory have been taken by The Demon Army, and lots of human are either killed, or forced to become a slave to Demons.
The Alliance of Human Kingdom have since then tried to look for another hero, yet no one is capable of, and want to, do a suicidal task such as âbe a heroâ, looking from the failure of the last one.
Actually the Hero did great. He, accompanied by The Sword of Purity, and a Mysterious Maiden have conquered almost all of the Demon Armyâs General, yet he fell during his final confrontation with the High Leader of all Demons.
Rumor says that the Demon Army have a mysterious ally that helps them defeat theÂ
hero.

[A certain Church on a Hill]
Â
âSister, letâs play!â
âYay, yay, letâs play!â
There are children, surrounding a nun, asking her to play with her.
The nun smiled gently.
âyes, yes, letâs play.â
Â
Another nun watched over her from inside the churh, accompanied by another nun.
âSheâs doing a really good job, taking care of the orphansâ
âYes, and sheâs able to smile now. Unlike 2 years ago when she came here... Now we wonât see that blank, depressing face anymore.â
âSister Aria...â
Arianne â now Sister Aria, is seen happily tossing a ball to the orphans, Whoâve been in the churchâs care.
Deep in a forest nearby, some shadowy figures was seen gathering, plotting something.
Their bodies are a almost twice as big as an average man. Their skins are pale, their fangs are as sharp as a polished dagger. And their eyes gazes say anything but kindness and hospitality.
High Trolls. 5 of them.
âYeâ sure the olâ wrench isâere, mon?â
âjaâ mon. No deny itâs her.â
âKâmon. We raid tâniteââ
âJaaaââ
And as the night comes, the High Trolls execute their plan. Sneaking silently, they approach the church.
âEeeek, Holy building by stupid âman! Disgustinâ! Burnâem, âmon!â
As their leader commanded, the other High troll starts to light up their torch, and throw them to the church.
The church was set ablaze almost instantly. Screams could be heard from inside. The nuns and orphans are running out from the burning church, only to meet their demise from the High Trollsâ savage beating.
Aria, whoâs protecting the remaining orphan, at last could be seen escaping the church, and to her suprise, met the High Trolls.
âYou...!!â
âJaâ mon? Never excpect us hanging around e, yeâ traitor?â
âUgh....â
âJahahahahahah! Never been this lucky before, jaâkno? Thought tisâraidâs another bust, jaâkno? And to thing jaâs actually here tisâ time~â
Aria is more concerned with the Orphans behind her. She cannot fight, not when the little kids are around.
âYou guys, please escape! Big sis here will hold the bad guys for youâ
âBut sister...â
âEscape, now!â
The little orphans then run away to the forest at the churchâs rear. After confirming their safety, she turned to the Trolls, filled with anger.
âSword of Purity, i asked thee to reform to your rightful formâ.
The Pendant on her neck shines brightly, float around, then forms into a Giant Sword.
âThis time is a special exception for you. And i wonât be called the Sword of Purity when i do something as impure as letting these damned creatures have their way here.â
âOooooh, âmon! Look at that! The Heroâs sword! Scary!â
The other High Trolls laugh.
The inevitable clash started. Aria held her ground pretty well, even able to slay 2 of the High Trolls.
âEh, eh, tisâs bad, âmon. We shouldâve use âtat!â
âJaâmon! Letâs use âtat!â
The remaining trolls grabbed unto something that looks like a bottle filled with a shining purple liquid. They popped it out, and have a good chug.
A bizzare reaction then started on the High Trollsâ bodies. Their muscles got buffed even more. Their tusks and fangs got sharper, and their bloodlust is multiplied by tenfold.
One of the buffed High Trolls leaped, charging towards Arianne. Their strength and agility are also increased. Even Aria only able to block it with the sword, only by a milisecond...
And yet, the Trollâs charge send her flying backwards. As she try to regain her stance, to her suprise, the other Troll also leaped, charging to her, and beat her senselessly.
Aria, lying on the ground, covered with wounds. The Trolls are laughing at her.
âNow, letâs finish âer! Taste your demise with our new skillz, ja?â
The trolls opened their mouths, charging a dark aura. Aria could only watch, as strength have left her body. The Sword of Purity also have been drained from its might, and returned to its pendant form.
âIs it the end for me? Am i to have the same fate as my Hero?â
Â
âFIREEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!â
Â
This would have been the bad end of this story. But fortunately, itâs not. By a chance of sheer luck. The Dark Surges launched from the High Trollsâ mouth are blocked by something...? No, by someone.
Â
[Portal Opened]
Â
âAction Chip, Spade Guard!â
âConfirmed, Deployingâ
A Barrier with the form of a Spade formed right in front of this man who appeared out of nowhere, blocking the Dark Surge from himself and Arianne, shocking both the High Trolls and Arriane.
âThe heck are jaâ mon?! Nah, canât be?! Jaâ already dead, âmon!â
âYou mistake me with someone else?â
The man wears black coat, and an odd bracelet on his right arm. His voice is familiar to Arianne, so does his face.
âHe....ro?â
Â
 âJeez, i just arrived and found this scene right away? Just my luck.â
âLess complaining. Finish them alreadyâ
A Sound can also be heard from the manâs bracelet.
âYes, yes....
Startup Chip, set! Access Ace!â
âAccess Confirmed. Arrester Ace, to the scene!â
As the man inserted something into his bracelet, he starts to get himself equipped by a strange armor, Not like any Steel Medieval Armor, his is composed by a Lightweight metal, yet hold stronger than the hardest Titanium. Its color is composed of red, black and white.
Just like what you could find from any Sunday tokusatsu heroes.
âShowy for a dead âmon! Weâll return jaâ to jaâ grave!â
âAinât I already told you that you mistaken this Arrester Ace for someone else?â
The High Trolls charged to Arrester Ace at the same time, but heâs able to dodge them almost easily, while taking out one of them with a punch. The punched High Troll was sent flying backwards, letting out a high pitched cry.
âIs he tatâ stronk bâfo?â the other High Troll shocked.
Arrester Ace then insert another Chip into his bracelet.
âItâs your judgment time now, and Iâll be your judge!
Ace Chip, set!â
âConfirmed. Judgment time!â
Arrester Ace readied his stance, pulling his right fist backwards. A Burning Aura could be seen coming from his body.
âStraight Flash!â
Ace then leaped, charged to the High Trolls, giving them each a full power Burning Fist through their bodies. Before they know it, Ace have given them a hole to each of their chests.
âGRAAAAAAHHHHKKKKKHH!!!!!â
The High Trolls then exploded into black mist of darkness.
âSituation Clearâ
Arrester Ace then revert back to his human form, which really looks like the previous fallen hero. He then approached Arianne, whoâs lying on the ground while watching his actions as Arrester Ace.
Relieved, strength left her body. Arianne fainted.
âO, oi, Sis, you alright? Geez, just my luck.â
