Well... here we go.


'ZI-O' POV:

As I steered both of us out of the 'time tunnel', and into 2017, I finally asked after we landed a safe distance away from civilization, "Now, how are we looking at in terms of repairs, Woz?" Woz spoke after we got out and examined the Time Mazine we stole, "With the repair kit, and current damages, I say I can repair it in one month, at most." I sighed, but nodded, "In that case, I'll land us somewhere hidden before we look for a place to stay at." Woz agreed, "I agree with that plan, My Lord." I rolled my eyes yet smiled at his theatrics as we headed back on.

After doing so I flew us slowly towards the nearest city, before landing ourselves near a farm as the sun rose. Before we got off, I requested, "Give me the restoration abilities. We might need them, knowing what GEIZ will do." Woz sighed, before nodding as I grabbed the chloroform... and inhaled.


Kamen Riders had passed their torch and title to each other throughout time!

But, how does one honor their sacrifices and effort? Rejoice, and watch one become king!

(Oh, yeah. Ohh…)

The Prisoner looks off-screen, before snapping his fingers as four random digits began to run through numbers 0 through 9.

Isshun de tsukamitoru no sa Are you ready?
(Are you ready?)

Kamen Rider Geiz was briefly seen walking forward towards the camera, bravely as the background spun.

Atarashī rekishi wa soko ni Feel it! Feel it!
(Crazy baby!)

The Prisoner, with an arm around Woz's shoulders, lead them both past Kamen Rider Geiz, who began to fade.

Hikari wo kate ni kasokushite
Konomama Shout it out! Shout it out!
Ima wo susume yō

An overshot of the prison the nameless prisoner escaped from loomed.

Madō hi mo Ikudo tonaku Asu no tobira tatake
Mitsumeta sono saki ni
Tobikonde mitara
Believe Yourself!

Woz flipped through his book with a look of nostalgia, clips of Kamen Rider Geiz shown, including one where Kamen Rider Geiz de-transformed. However, the person who was Geiz was only shown as a silhouette. Suddenly, a light came off-screen, causing Woz to look over to see the prisoner standing in a door, arm outstretched. Woz grabbed the offered hand.

Now, Over "Quartzer"
Toki no ame Surinukete Tomo ni
You, Over "Quartzer"
Mirai wo koe yō

The prisoner walked past numerous Kamen Riders, slowly becoming Kamen Rider Zi-O as all the previous Kamen Riders slowly turned to look at him, with Decade at the end. Decade nodded to Zi-O before leaving him alone as a white line running from top to bottom divides the screen in half.

Kako no ishi wa Uso de wa azamuke nai
Kanjiro sō Nexus Future
Now, Over "Quartzer"
Mabayui sekai

Zi-O suddenly took out his Zikan Griade and shifted it into its 'Gun' mode, firing at the opposite side as Kamen Rider Geiz ran in, dodging the shot and firing back with his Zikan Zax in its 'Bow' mode as the two kept up with the shootout, the line remaining before it vanished as they finally clashed, the now sword and axe grinding against each other when suddenly, Geiz was shoved off-screen while flashing a bit. Zi-O looked off in the direction as the camera zoomed in, the titles of the previous Kamen Rider shows cycling being him as he showed in his offhand the Geiz Ridewatch.

Misete

Zi-O suddenly crushed the Geiz Ridewatch in his hand, shattering it into pieces before the screen cuts to black.


Dream:

"GEIZ!"

BOOM!

"Move it, kid! Go!"

GEIZ! FINISH TIME!

"TAKE THIS!"

TIME BURST!


I bolted awake, before holding my head and shaking it slightly.

"My Lord?" Woz walked up hesitantly, and guarded.

"We aren't as concealed as we thought..." I groaned and slowly rolled my shoulders, "Did you at least put the BANGER back in me?" He nodded as we stepped out...

Only for me to blink at the farmers surrounding us. The one in charge, and the one I (sadly) recognize stepped forward. He wore a black shirt and brown jacket, with grey jeans and shoes.

We stared at each other as the atmosphere got tense, before I broke it and asked, tiredly, "Is there any other place for us to park this? We kind of need an area to actually repair our vehicle here." The boss spoke with an easily tired voice, "We have an unusable plot of land you can park at. Nothing grows there, but we use it as extra unneeded storage. I'm Sawatari Kasumin, by the way." I jabbed a thumb to Woz, "This is Woz, and my name is-"

I was interrupted as a sonic boom overhead occurred, causing all of us to look up to see a blue blur landing in the forest.

I finished, "Just... call me Zeo. It's not my real name, but what people I know of call me."


Meanwhile...

The liquid from earlier appeared in a junkyard, before becoming a shirtless man wearing a red jacket and pants. He spoke outloud in glee, "I have finally arrived! Time to find the Pandora Box, and destroy everything! Now, where to find Evo-GAH!"

The man looked down to see an arm through his chest. Slowly and painfully looking behind him, he caught sight of a word before being converted into a bottle with a weird spiderweb on it.

BUILD

"Killbas... Freezer... Not Best Match..."

GRIP!

CRACK!

SHATTER!


Zeo's POV:

After parking the Time Mazine over there, Woz and I began unloading our bags due to Kasumin giving us a room to share during our stay. As we unpacked, Woz informed after making sure no one was hearing us, "My Lord, the Ziku Driver will take more time than anticipated to repair." "Figures, but quit calling me 'Lord'. Just because I will become king doesn't mean I want it to be formal." "Then what should I address you as?" "NOT my REAL name. I lost the right to that the moment I saw what they were doing. Besides... we need to save the future, right?"

I took out a blank Ridewatch, adding, "Here's hoping that we can do that." Woz looked at me in sad understanding, offering, "It will take some time for the Build Hack to be completed. Why not you explore the city while I finish unpacking?"

I was about to argue... but decided to go with it.

Sighing, I rummaged through before getting some cash and leaving.

Third Person POV:

In the junkyard, the monster that killed Killbas rummaged through, before finding a thrown-out basketball backboard.

"Basketball..."

It immediately began absorbing it into a bottle, and eating it.

Later...

Zeo was walking through a crowd of people, a bag slung over his shoulder as he thought, 'Okay, so the bicycle Kasumin gave us as a gift is safely secured. I need to get Woz and I a map, maybe a membership card for a grocery shop, and even a few snacks. First, however, is getting some clo-' Zeo suddenly bumped into someone, causing both of their bags to be dropped. Quickly apologizing while not looking at the person, he proceeded to grab his bag and go on his way.

The person he bumped into, however, looked at him and idly noted, "Must be a new person..." He then noticed something around the corner, and quickly ran over, only to see nothing. He muttered, "I could've sworn..."

Zeo's POV:

Arriving at the flea market, I looked through the goods on display, buying a few things to make things even with Woz. When I got around to a silver-toy vendor, I noticed what looked like a silver king chess piece.

Exactly what I needed for the hack, or a pendant I have in mind.

I called out to the vendor, "Hey, how much for this piece?" He looked over at me, and we began haggling back and forth.

Then, there were screams.

People began fleeing as the steps of a monster approached the vendor and I.

He spoke in a stunned voice, "That's...!" I looked, and growled, "AnotherRider. AnotherBuild." He spoke confused, "Another Build?"

The monster resembled the original rider in the archives of 2068. With more colors mixed like a shaved-ice with blue berry and cherry syrup, it had an equally corrupt version of the Build Driver around its waist. The world BUILD was labeled on its chest, and I knew that the number 2017 was on its back.

I muttered under my breath, "So that corrupt legacy appears here?" The vendor looked at me, and pushed me out of the way before openly stating, "I don't know what's going on, but I'm going to beat that monster!" The said monster looked at him, before gesturing excitedly, "Me, Build. You, Cross-Z. BEST MATCH!" It ran up to hug, but the both of us dodged out of the way. I grabbed my bag and opened it, only to see...


(A certain scientist suddenly sneezed and muttered, "Why do I feel jealous?" Shrugging, he felt his bag... and panicked.

Quickly taking it off and opening it, he muttered in fright, "This isn't my bag.")


I spoke in annoyance, "This isn't my bag."

The bag I had contained a normal Build Driver... along with the Great Cross-Z Dragon and Great Cross-Z Fullbottle.

"Oi! Why are you just standing there for?!" I fired back, decided to might as well use it, "I accidentally swapped bags with someone!" Plugging the bottle into the Great Cross-Z Dragon, I took both it and the Build Driver out.

As I put the Driver on, I vaguely heard an echo before I slotted the dragon in.

GREAT CROSS-Z DRAGON!

CROSS-Z DRAGON!

Again, with the echo... Is this one glitching?

Mentally shaking it off, and recalling how it worked, I cranked the handle and watched the pipes form around me.

ARE YOU READY?

I yelled at the exact same time as someone else, "HENSHIN-eh?" Looking to the side, I caught a glimpse of the same vendor looking at me in surprise with the same Build Driver and pipe configuration, before the two parts slammed together in sync.

WAKE-UP BURNING! GET CROSS-Z DRAGON!
WAKE-UP! CROSS-Z! GET GREAT DRAGON!

YEAH!

Third Person POV:

The camera pans from behind AnotherBuild, from his right side. Great Cross-Z was standing in a slightly guarded stance. Panning direct left to AnotherBuild's left side, Cross-Z was in the same (albeit mirrored) stance as Great Cross-Z. The two Cross-Zs slowly approached one another, before the normal one demanded, "Who are you?" Ignoring that statement, the other complained, "I have to seriously fight with you of all people?" "What's that supposed to mean?!" "You're not that smart or a strategist." "Of course I'm not! That's Sento's job!" "Which means you're the muscle-head." "Oi! It's muscle-brain!" "Not it's not." "Shut Up!"

The two dragon Riders began fighting like siblings... albeit it with punches and bonks to the head.

AnotherBuild looked at the two in confusion, before concluding wrongly and rushing to fight them, "Not real Cross-Z!" The two riders both synced while punching the corrupt Rider away, "BACK OFF!"

Both held out their hands as the same weapon appeared.

BEAT CLOSER!

Wielding the swords, one each, the two briefly shared a look of annoyance (how it went through opaque helmets is beyond understanding). Both then rushed forward to fight Another Build.

The scene closed as the three clashed.


Closing Ridewatches:

The Zi-O Ridewatch was shown, before sparking and going monochrome.


Review? And before the review war gets enough fuel (you guys know who you are), some ground rules:

-BANGER stands for Bugster And Nebula Gas Extreme Restoration

-Keep the words PG, and keep at it. Just don't go too far with the barbs and insults.
(I'm not joking, I'm finding it interesting and want to see where it goes.)


Next time...

Zeo, in his civilian form, hands Sento a Build Driver.

"Another Riders cannot be destroyed by normal means."

The normal Kamen Rider Build destroyed Another Build, only for Another Build to slowly regenerate via strings of data.

"Not even the Genius Fullbottle?!"

Zeo was in Nacita, angrily pushing Kasumin off as he glowed blue.

"I'll restore everything and I'll fix the ending!"

Zeo stood under a bridge, Evolto in his Blood Stalk form looking right back while Banjou was knocked out and on the ground.

"Why are you risking so much for us?!"

Woz was looking at Zeo, with a sad smile as Zeo fingered the king chess piece.
