"I'm not Voyager either!" Billy yelled. He flies towards Jason and Trini as they fought the Putty Patrollers. "Gangway!" Billy yelled. "Huh?" Jason said as he turned his head towards Billy. They move out of the way as Billy crashed into the Putty Patrollers, destroying them.
Zack and Kimberly walk towards them as Jason and Trini help Billy up. "That must be the last of them." Zack informed Jason. Fourze then approaches the team. "Hey… thanks for the assist, I guess." Billy thanked Fourze. "No problem, anything for a friend." Fourze replied.
"You call us your friends, yet we barely know you." Jason said to Fourze. "Well, now you know me. Making friends happen in an instant, getting to know them takes a while." Fourze replied. The ground shakes once again, alerting the Rangers and Fourze. The ground tear open a large crack that spews liquid metal like a geyser. As it falls on the ground it reconstitutes into a monster like the Putty Patrol but made of metal.
"I've never seen a metal Putty before!" Trini commented. "Wasn't Goldar basically a giant Putty made of gold?" Billy commented. "Metal, huh? I've got the Switch for that. Or rather, Switches." Fourze said as he walked through the Rangers. He removes the leftmost Magic Hand switch and the rightmost black switch before producing a red and blue flip-phone from behind his back and splits it apart. "[Breaking!]" he said in Japanese as he inserts the red screen half of the phone into the left slot and the blue keypad half into the right slot.
"N Magnet. S Magnet." the muffled voice announced upon insertion. "N S Magnet On." the robotic voice said with a Japanese accent. All of a sudden, rock music with female vocals singing "Bounce back! bounce back! Mezame yo, energy… Let 'em beat!" all around the Rangers and Fourze. "Is anyone hearing rock music, or is that just me?" Billy wondered. A red metal slab materializes on Fourze's right hand and a blue metal slab on the right appear before two giant spectral U-shaped magnets appear in front of Fourze briefly to equip two black shoulder-mounted cannons and a larger bulky black helmet on Fourze.
His gold stripes also turn from gold to the respective red and blue colours as his eyes and antennae emerge through the helmet. He grabs onto the phone halves and pushes them downwards like joysticks, manipulating his cannons. He presses triggers on them repeatedly and bombards the metal Putty Patroller with red and blue bursts of magnetic energy, knocking it down. "Did you see that?! Did you see that?! He shot the thing with cannons!" Billy yelled excitedly. The Putty Patroller stands up and throws metal balls towards Fourze.
"[Not gonna work!]" Fourze taunted as he pushed a lever on the right side of his belt, releasing his cannons into the air. The cannons then join into a giant black U-shaped magnet that catches the balls. He pushes the joysticks forwards once more, shooting the balls towards the Putty Patroller and knocking it down again. "He reflected the balls!" Trini yelled. "It's like a railgun, using magnetism as a form of projectile propulsion rather than combustion." Billy observed.
Fourze opens a button at the back of the red joystick and presses it. "Limit Break!" a metallic-sounding voice announced as the cannons float in front of Fourze and start charging energy, glowing red and blue. "Rider Chou-Denji Bomber!" Fourze yelled as he shot a ball of electromagnetic energy at the Putty Patroller, crushing it into a ball before exploding, stopping the music. The cannons re-join onto Fourze's shoulders as he turns to the Rangers behind him and give them thumbs up. "That was awesome!" Billy complimented excitedly as the Rangers walk towards Fourze.
Fourze removes his red and blue switches, reverting into his base form. "Who are you?" Jason asked. "I'm Fourze, Kamen Rider Fourze, 'kamen' meaning 'mask' in Japanese." Fourze explained. "I'm gonna be friends with all the aliens!" he added as he pointed towards Jason. He then lifts Jason's right hand up and shakes it.
He then grasps it, forms it into a fist and pounds it front, downwards, and then upwards. "I'll see you soon." Fourze said before inserting his Rocket switch. "Rocket." the muffled voice said before "Rocket On." Fourze presses it. The orange rocket forms on his arm and starts to fire up as Fourze waves goodbye. He is then launched into the air as the Rangers look on, Billy waving back.
Mr. Kisaragi walks out of the school through the front doors, looking at the Rangers in surprise. "Ah!" he yelled. "Ah!" the Rangers yelled. "It's the Rangers!" Mr. Kisaragi yelled as he ran towards them. "Alpha, teleport us!" Jason yelled as he presses the right side of his head. The Rangers teleport away in a beam of light as Mr. Kisaragi stops in his tracks.
"[They're gone…]" he said in Japanese. The Rangers arrive in a large alien room with a giant wall with pulsating cubes. "What happened out there, Rangers?" a giant face that emerged from the wall said to the Rangers with an echoing voice. "Some Putty Patrollers attacked the school, and then some other hero fell from the sky and helped us fight them." Jason explained as his faceplate folded back to reveal his own face. "Did they say anything?" the face asked.
"He said his name was Kamen Rider Fourze, 'kamen' meaning 'mask' in Japanese, another Earth language." Jason added. A small alien robot with a disc-shaped head and two yellow bulbous eyes walks into the room from the doorway behind the Rangers. "How many languages does this planet ha… did you say Rider?" the robot asked. "What about it?" Zack wondered. "I was built on the planet Edenoi by its king. There are these royal warriors that call themselves Masked Riders. I haven't been in contact with Edenoi for millions of years, but this guy could be from Edenoi." the robot explained.
"He did point at us and called us aliens. Alpha, what do the people of Edenoi look like?" Jason asked the robot. "They look like humans, beside the fact they have a small green gem on their forehead. They channel their telepathic powers through that gem." Alpha explained. "What would he be doing on Earth?" the face on the wall wondered. "He said he was gonna befriend all aliens. That's all he said before blasting off into the sky with his rocket-arm." Billy answered. "Alpha and I will investigate this further. You all should return to school. Your break period has almost concluded." the face said.
The Rangers de-morph and teleport into the empty hall of their school. From a corner, Mr. Kisaragi ran from it and spotted the five teenagers. "Hey, where have you been?!" Mr. Kisaragi wondered as he approached them. "We got lost." Billy lied. "Next time, stick with the other students in an emergency." Mr. Kisaragi said as he escorted them down the hall.
"What happened out there? Were the Ranger's here?" Trini asked. "Yeah! I saw them before they teleported away. It was so cool!" Mr. Kisaragi answered excitedly. "Was anyone else out there with the Rangers?" Zack asked. "No, but I did hear J-Pop music from outside, strange thing to happen during an attack." Mr. Kisaragi answered. They are escorted back to their homeroom where they take their seats at the back.
Later after school Kimberly waved farewell to her friends as they left the school, staying behind as per detention. She went down to the detention room where Mr. Kisaragi and other ne'er-do-well students were sat. "Wow, Colt isn't here. What other surprises will happen today?" Kimberly thought. "Miss Hart, welcome to detention. I never thought I would be in here after graduation." Mr. Kisaragi welcomed Kimberly. "I thought never having been to detention was a requirement of being a teacher?" Kimberly said as she took her seat.
"I had horrible grades in my first year and got into trouble very often." Mr. Kisaragi explained. "Were you some kind of bad boy, Mr. Kisaragi?" another girl at the corner of the room asked. "That's what my detention teacher, Satake-Sensei, called me. He was a little cruel to me at first. When we were supposed to write 'hansei'; reflection, one-thousand times in our books, he gave me shuji tools to write with! You're lucky you don't have to do that, with writing everything all big and then your hands get tired!" Mr. Kisaragi added. "I had to write 'I will not vandalize school property' on the blackboard, like, fifty times last month." a boy said. "Just fifty?! You kids get off easy!" Mr. Kisaragi said jealously.
"What other things did you do in high school?" Kimberly asked. "For starters; come to my desk first." he said to the students. They get up from their chairs and approach Mr. Kisaragi's desk. He takes out a photo from his bag depicting him and his friends. "That's me right there." he said as he pointed to him in the picture.
His friends all wore blue uniform jackets while he wore a black jacket, baggy pants, and the same pompadour. "Wow, you actually look like a real delinquent." a boy commented. "I just liked dressing up like this. I almost got in trouble for wearing this constantly but this one transfer student found a loophole for me, so I got to wear it throughout high school!" he explained. "Day one and he's already making friends with the students like he said." Kimberly thought. Later after detention was finished the students left the school with smiles on their faces as they said their farewells to Mr. Kisaragi.
Kimberly watched as Mr. Kisaragi mounted a white sports bike with fairing to make it resemble a space shuttle. "Mr. Kisaragi!" Kimberly called out to the teacher as he was about to put on his helmet. "Ah?" he acknowledged as he turned around. "Thanks for making detention enjoyable for once." Kimberly said. "No problem! Anything for a friend." Mr. Kisaragi replied as put on his helmet.
He drives away as Kimberly looks on. Her pocket then starts glowing pink. She removes her crystal coin from her pocket and a voice emerges. "Rangers, come back to the ship. I've found something on the Masked Rider." Alpha informed her. She is then teleported back to the ship just as her friends arrive as well.
"What is it, Alpha?" Jason wondered. In the middle of the room, a holographic screen displays search engine results for a television show. "I was searching the internet for any other sightings of the Rider when I found this; an Earth serial about the Rider you met." Alpha explained. "Wait, so he's from a T.V. show?" Billy emphasized. "Two-thousand-eleven, that was years ago!" Zack commented.
"The identity of the Rider in question is a boy named Kisaragi Gentaro." Alpha added. The Rangers all have a surprised look on their faces. "Kisaragi… that's the name of our substitute teacher!" Trini added. "But, we saw him come out of the school just when Fourze blasted off into the sky!" Jason rebutted. "Alpha, why are the Masked Riders called so? What do they ride?" Kimberly asked.
"On Edenoi, we also had motorized vehicles similar to Earth motorcycles. In Fourze's case; the Machine Massigler." Alpha informed them as he pulled up a picture of Fourze riding on Mr. Kisaragi's space shuttle motorcycle. "Hey, that looks like Mr. Kisaragi's motorcycle! After detention, I saw him riding it." Kimberly informed her team. "Zordon, do you know what's going on?" Jason asked the face on the wall. "I do not know. You have to ensure caution around your teacher and Fourze, if they happen to be the same entity." the face warned them. In an apartment further into the town, Mr. Kisaragi enters and is met by a red demon-like creature with a feminine figure.
"[Welcome back, Fourze.]" the demon welcomed him with a low-pitched menacing voice.
