"Hey! Wait! Wait!" Gaim started to say as Ichigo jumped into the air and punched at him.
"Rider Punch!" Ichigo fell towards Gaim while punching outwards. Energy coated Ichigo's fist as he did.
Soiya! Orange Sparking!
The Orange Armor Parts on Gaim's shoulders folded up into their original position before Gaim angled his head forward, taking the full force of the attack with the Armor Parts. The Armor Parts shattered with Gaim falling backwards.
Gaim hit the ground, his Armor Parts gone with his helmet being the only remainder. He stood up only for Ichigo to attack again.
Gaim dodged out of the way but activated a Lockseed quickly.
Soiya! Pine Arms: Funsai! Destroy!
A Crack formed above him with a pineapple shaped Armor Parts falling out of it and landing on his shoulders with the front folding down like the Orange Armor Parts but the back simply folding down. The sides slid down his arms. In Gaim's hands, a grip formed with a chain connecting it to a metallic pineapple shaped weapon. This was the Pine Iron.
Gaim brandished the Musou Saber before attaching it to the Pine Iron's handle.
Ichigo ran at Gaim again and punched at him, but Gaim ducked out of the way before swinging the Pine Iron. The Pine Iron wrapped around Ichigo and trapped him in place long enough for Gaim to slam the Musou Saber repeatedly into him. Ichigo took the attacks before he headbutted Gaim and knocked him back. Easily, Ichigo broke through the chain and caused the weapon that held him back to drop to the ground before he slugged Gaim across the helmet.
Gaim fell to the ground from the impact and Ichigo proceeded to kick him in the stomach while his fingers wrapped around the Musou Saber. The attack sent Gaim flying into the air for a few seconds. Gaim pulled the hammer on his weapon back and fired four shots at Ichigo. The attacks made contact, resulting in Ichigo stumbling back a bit and stunning him.
Gaim got to his knees and pulled out another Lockseed.
Soiya! Ichigo Arms: Shushutto Spark!
Above Gaim's head, another Crack formed with a strawberry-shaped Armor Parts descending.
His Pine Arms dissolved and he took a step back as the Ichigo Armor Parts fell in front of him. Gaim kicked the Arms towards Ichigo, who simply punched it back towards Gaim. The bottom part of the Armor Parts folded down before it landed on Gaim's shoulders and folded down, the top and side moving onto his left shoulder with the bottom on his right. The back folded onto his back while the front folded onto his chest.
"Ichigo vs. Ichigo, huh? I can handle this" Ichigo said, getting into a ready stance.
Gaim brandished his Ichigo Kunai before throwing them at Ichigo. The Rider tried to backhand the daggers away but they exploded the second they touched his hand.
Gaim pulled out three more Kunai connected at the bottom of their handles, forming their combined Shuriken mode before throwing it at Ichigo. Ichigo just noticed in time for an even larger explosion to happen and send him stumbling backwards. Gaim grabbed his Musou Saber and held it out before charging.
Before he even got close, there was an explosion of sparks that happened in front of him, stopping him in place. Gaim and Ichigo turned to the source.
Several monsters walked out into view, the most noticeable ones being based off a tiger and another one a porcupine. These were Tiger-Roid and Yamaarashi-Roid.
"Who are you guys?" Gaim shouted at them.
"We are the Underground Empire: Badan!" Tiger-Roid shouted.
"Badan? What's going on here?" Ichigo said.
"Is this what they meant by plans?" Gaim questioned under his breath.
"Get in our way and we'll kill you!" Yamaarashi-Roid shouted. The porcupine based monster spread his arms out, spines suddenly shooting from his back. Gaim readied his Musou Saber as Ichigo got into a ready stance. The monster fired the spines at the two. Just as Gaim prepared to slash, a giant red disc formed in front of them and intercepted the spines, causing them to burn as soon as they touched the disc.
DEFEND, PLEASE!
"That sound-!" Gaim recognized the sound and the disc in front of him.
"Yo, Gaim" from the side, Yuya walked up with his right arm extended, a glowing ring on his right middle finger.
"You're…what was your name again?" Gaim asked, scratching his head.
"Yuya. Yuya Sakaki. Kamen Rider Wizard. And your name was?" Yuya questioned Gaim as he deactivated the shield and switched his Defend Ring for another one.
"Hunter Steele"
"Don't ignore us!" Tiger-Roid shouted at them. Yamaarashi-Roid prepared his attack again.
"Got it. Alright, Hunter. Let's go" Yuya switched the Ring on his right hand before reaching to his WizarDriver.
Gaim nodded and readied his weapon.
SHABADOOBIE TOUCH TO HENSHIN!
"Henshin!"
FLAME, PLEASE! HI, HI, HI HI HI!
Just as the spines again flew at them, Yuya threw his left hand forward, another large Magic Ring forming to intercept the attack again. Yuya and Gaim ran forward, Yuya running through the Magic Ring. Just as he ran through the other side, the Flame Magic Ring formed the Flame Style suit around Yuya, or Wizard as he was now known.
Wizard's suit was black and trenchcoat-like in design, with the inside of the coat being a bright red. His chest, ankles, and wrists had the designs of red gems on it. His chest had the design of a human chest. His helmet however was based off of the Flame Style Ring on his left middle finger.
Gaim held up his Musou Saber while Wizard activated the Ring on his right middle finger.
CONNECT, PLEASE!
A simple portal was formed so that Wizard could reach in and pull out his weapon, the WizarSwordGun.
The two ran into battle with Ichigo watching. However, instead of joining in, he simply watched. "There's no need to interfere now. But I must escalate my plans more if Badan is here already" he put his fingers onto his forehead and vanished once again.
Wizard twirled his sword around before swinging it at a Badan soldier, striking them in chest. He spun in place and stabbed at a Combat-Roid nearby. When it stumbled backwards, he turned around and slashed at another.
Gaim slashed with his Musou Saber at Combat-Roid before turning in place to strike another one in the gut. Knocking it over, he kicked it in the head before he spun around and slashed an approaching Combat-Roid in the helmet. He pulled out three Ichigo Kunai before throwing them at another and resulting in it being launched back by an explosion.
From the side, two people walked up, one having a Sengoku Driver while the other had a Driver much different in shape but still quite similar. The one on the left was Z, who was a young man wearing an opened red and white plaid button up shirt over a plain white shirt. He had on a pair of black jeans and magenta sneakers. On the right was Aqune, who was wearing a black jacket and a violet shirt. She had a pair of white pants with pink highlights and silver shoes.
"There's so many of them" Z observed.
"Let's get in there" Aqune held up a Lockseed.
"Henshin!" they shouted in unison.
Dragonfruit!/Sakura!
Lock On!/On.
Above their heads, two Cracks formed and allowed their Armor Parts to descend, Dragonfruit for Z and the flower shaped Sakura for Aqune.
Rise Up!
Go!
Dragonfruit/Sakura Arms:
The fruit that landed on Z's shoulders formed a black and white bodysuit with a scaled design. The fruit folded down with front and back folding down the same way Gaim's did. However, the back had part of the stem fold up onto it with a sword forming, the stem becoming a sheath. The sword was named the Kage Blade.
The sides of the Armor Parts folded down a joint 180 degrees to form arm and shoulder guards. The helmet that was formed was a dragons head with the eyes forming the visor. The back of the helmet had the design of a Dragonfruit and some ears on the side. The eyes were designed after the inside of a Dragonfruit but in between them was a silver gem. In his right hand a magenta staff named the DragFangStaff appeared. Z had changed into Kamen Rider Dreigon.
The flower above Aqune's head split into several pieces. The sides and front popped off, floating above her arms and back. The final part floated down and landed on her shoulders, a dark green and white suit forming. The center part of the flower that was attached to the back folded onto her chest, creating a flower design as the parts floating around her back and front attached to the respective areas. The part attached to her helmet split off and moved to her back, revealing her helmet to have a knight design, but she had a small crown-like protrusion coming from the front of her helmet. The back of the helmet was white and had a petal design on the side. In her right hand a glaive called the Sakura Blade formed while a weapon on the side of her belt named the Petal Breaker appeared. Aqune had changed into Kamen Rider Unmei.
Dreigon and Unmei brandished their respective weapons before they ran into the fight.
Dreigon jumped in and stabbed at a Combat-Roid approaching Gaim from behind, knocking it back.
"Z!" Gaim noticed Dreigon's sudden appearance. "Yo, Hunter! Need a bit of help?" Dreigon twirled his weapon around before getting into a ready stance. Gaim nodded and turned in place to ready his weapon
The two jumped back into battle as three more figures appeared opposite where Z and Aqune showed up. These three were wearing Sengoku Drivers as well. "These aren't Invess" Igneous said. Igneous was a young man wearing a red and silver shirt with crimson jeans. He also had on a yellow jacket with silver accents. He had on red and orange sneakers.
"Should we help them?" Sparkle asked. Sparkle was a younger girl who wore a violet long sleeve shirt and a green pair of shorts. She had gold sandals.
"I think that should go without saying" Slate said. Slate just had on a black tank top with orange highlights and silver pants. He had black shoes.
The three held up Lockseeds of their own.
"Henshin!"
Banana!/Budou!/Kurumi!
Lock On!
Come On!
Hai!
*Guitar Riff*
Banana/Budou/Kurumi Arms:
Knight Of Spear!
Ryu, Hou, Ha-Ha-Ha!
Mister Knuckleman!
Three Cracks formed above each of them and different Armor Parts descended onto their shoulders to form different suits.
The suit Igneous had was white and red with the design of a knight. It also had silver armor on his shins, knees, and elbows. The Banana Armor Parts folded onto his chest and back while the sides slid onto his shoulders and revealed a knight-like helmet with two horns on the side. In his right hand, a banana-shaped spear named the BanaSpear formed. Igneous had become Kamen Rider Baron.
The suit Sparkle had was green and black and designed after a gi. There was gold armor on her knees, shins, and elbows. The Budou Armor Parts folded onto her chest, back, and arms with her helmet partially resembling a dragon. In her right, a gun with a grape design named the Budou Ryuhou formed. Sparkle had become Kamen Rider Ryugen.
The suit Slate had was black with the design of a squire of sorts. There was silver armor on his knees, shins, and elbows. The Kurumi Armor Parts folded onto his chest and back with the sides sliding onto his arms. His helmet was silver and black with the back being orange and black like his Armor Parts. On his hands, two giant knuckles named the Kurumi Bombers formed. Slate had become Kamen Rider Knuckle.
The three jumped into battle and began assisting the other Sengoku Riders.
Wizard dodged a slash before swinging his own sword to catch his attacker across the chest. It was then he noticed the other Sengoku Riders that had appeared.
"Huh. He sure has a lot of friends." He commented as he kicked a Combat-Roid in the head. Wizard spun in place and slammed his heel into the stomach of another.
Knuckle jumped into the air and punched over one of the Combat-Roids with one of the Kurumi Bombers before landing and uppercutting another. Crashing his knuckles together, he charged at more of them.
Baron swung his BanaSpear around and caught several of the Combat-Roids across their chests. After that, he stabbed forward and struck one in the chest before dragging it downwards and knocking it backwards. Turning in place, he blocked a slash with the BanaSpear before kicking outwards and striking it in its gut.
Ryugen ran forward while shooting at the Combat-Roids around her. She repeatedly dodged out of the way of multiple attacks while retaliating by shooting and kicking at them.
Unmei slammed her blade into multiple Combat-Roids before jumping back to avoid several attacks aimed at her. When they missed she swung back to knock them out of her way.
Dreigon and Gaim both managed to hold off the enemies coming their way. Gaim dual wielded his Musou Saber and Ichigo Kunai while Dreigon used his DragFangStaff to his advantage.
"These things keep coming!" Gaim shouted.
"Yeah but where do they keep coming from?!" Knuckle demanded.
Wizard swung his blade at Yamaarashi-Roid and Tiger-Roid, successfully hitting them with the two rarely being able to retaliate.
"You guys are really weak" he commented while pausing his assault. He ducked backwards under a punch and then stood back up before kicking Yamaarashi-Roid in the stomach. He then spun in place before slamming his heel into Tiger-Roid's head with fire coating his ankle.
Wizard brandished his WizarSwordGun before placing his left hand near the hand on the hilt.
"Finale da." He said before he planted his thumb on the hand and prepared to open it. However, before he could even move, another figure jumped in and kicked at him. Wizard was caught off guard and knocked back with his hand letting go of the WizarSwordGun. The figure kept attacking with Wizard with Wizard trying to dodge and dance out of the attacks, which succeeded for the most part. He jumped back and held up his weapon. While this happened, Yamaarashi-Roid and Tiger-Roid took off.
"Wizard!" Gaim ran up to help while holding up his two weapons. "Let me help!"
"It's useless" the figure said.
The figure was female and had pale skin. She had black hair that went down to her back with an aqua blue streak through it. Her attire consisted of a pair of white pants with black highlights over them. Her top was a white shirt under a white leather jacket. She had on a pair of black biker gloves. Around her waist was a Sengoku Driver. This figure was named Aqua.
Aqua glared at Wizard and Gaim as she cracked her neck and got ready.
"Who are you?" Gaim said. "Are you Badan?"
"That Driver seems familiar" Wizard commented.
"Really? Are-are you serious?" Gaim said to Wizard.
"What?" Wizard looked at Gaim confused before he looked at Gaim's Sengoku Driver. "Oh…sorry"
"So it's you two again… good… I'll destroy you myself" she held up a Lockseed.
"Henshin"
Fruit Duo!
"Ah! That Lockseed!"
"That's right. After I was defeated by Kamen Rider Rush, I managed to escape unseen and I hid away."
"So…you're…I don't remember much about that Lockseed...or you to be honest…" Gaim said, lowering his guard.
Aqua glared angrily at them. "You mean you forgot?"
"Sounds about right. I don't remember much about you either" Wizard added.
Aqua started growling at them. "Henshin" she placed the Lockseed on her Driver and locked it in.
Lock On!
Above her head, a Crack formed.
From it, an Armor Parts that looked to be a mix between the Orange and Dragonfruit Armor Parts, only silver and white, descended before the Crack closed itself.
A dubstep song that sounded a bit like a mix between a dragons roar and a techno beat started up before she hit the blade on the belt and cut open the fruit.
Count Zero!
The Armor Parts descended onto her shoulders and covered her with energy that changed into a suit.
Fruit Duo Arms: Orange! Dragonfruit! Mix Up!
Her new suit was white with several black highlights all over it. She was wearing white and silver armor on her shoulders, chest, and back that appeared to be designed after a mix between an orange and a dragon fruit. Her helmet was based off a dragon, but it appeared to look rather tame and not so wild. The Driver had a panel on the side with her helmet and a grey background. The lock that was cut open had two panels. The top panel had a design that was based off of the inside of an orange on the left and the inside of a dragon fruit on the right.
"Kamen Rider…Wyvern" the newly identified Wyvern held out her right hand as orange energy clouded into it, forming a copy of the DaiDaiMaru.
"Wyvern?!" Gaim said in shock.
"Okay now I think I've seen her before" Wizard commented.
Wyvern brandished her DaiDaiMaru before running at Gaim and Wizard. The two of them jumped out of the way of her attack. Stabbing forward, their attacks would have struck her in the chest had she not formed a copy of the DragFangStaff in her other hand and used that to block the attacks. Wyvern swung her DaiDaiMaru around and caught them both across their stomachs. She then slammed the end of the DragFangStaff into them to knock them back.
A Crack made of bones suddenly formed next to her with a man walking out of it. Sighing, Wyvern turned to look at him.
"What are you doing here, Gou? I can handle this fight." She demanded.
"Aqua. I don't doubt your strength, but I'm doing this for me, not for any grudge I have against you." Gou said. Gou was a man in his late-twenties wearing a grey hoodie above a black shirt. He had on a pair of black jeans and silver boots. He had grey, sunken eyes and black hair with white stripes running through them. Around his waist was a Sengoku Driver, but the panel on the side had a skeletal face.
Gou reached into his pocket and pulled out a Lockseed with a skeletal design before holding it in front of him.
Fifteen!
Above Gou's head, a Crack made of bones appeared and out of it came a large skull and ribs before the Crack closed.
Gou dropped the Lockseed, which fell but stopped before it even got close to hitting the ground. It hovered towards his waist and placed itself in his Driver.
"Henshin" Gou locked in the Lockseed before cutting it open.
Lock On! *Guitar Riff*
The skull and ribs descended, the skull landing on his shoulders while the ribs wrapped around him. Instead of there being a chant from the Lockseed, there was simply an ominous choir before the skull and ribs merged with Gou, changing him into a Rider.
The new Rider form he was in was black with silver armor in a skeletal design. His helmet was silver and black with fur hanging off the back and the kanji for fifteen on his forehead. "Fifteen" he said, introducing himself.
"Fifteen?" Gaim said in confusion.
In Fifteen's hand, a sword appeared before he ran at Gaim and Wizard.
"Oi!" Wyvern called before she followed after him.
The two Dark Riders charged at Gaim and Wizard, both of them dodging out of the way of multiple attacks.
Fifteen slashed at Gaim, who blocked multiple attacks but one broke through and struck him across the chest. Gaim tried to slash at Fifteen, who knocked the Musou Saber from his hands before kicking outwards, hitting Gaim in the gut.
Wyvern stabbed forward at Wizard, knocking him back. Wizard grabbed his talent weapon from the ground. He then turned his sword to gun mode before shooting at Wyvern. She swung the DragFangStaff around, but the bullets curved around her weapon to strike her in the chest. Wizard turned his weapon back to sword mode and ran forward again. He kicked outwards at Wyvern, who blocked one kick then jumped up into the air and spun in the air, trying to kick her with his other foot.
Though she blocked it, he landed and swung his blade around to block Wyvern's attacks before stabbing her in the stomach to knock her backwards.
Gaim was knocked backwards by Fifteen repeatedly despite the Riders attempt to retaliate.
Baron and Ryugen jumped in to help. "Hunter, you okay?" Ryugen asked as Baron brandished his BanaSpear to stab and slash at Fifteen. Said Rider blocked most of the attacks before he slashed at Baron and knocked him back with a slash across the chest.
Ryugen got up and readied her Budou Ryuhou while Baron got back up and pointed his BanaSpear forward
Fifteen eyed the new arrivals. "I see. If there's going to be an unfair advantage then I suppose you won't mind if I change it up as well" he pulled out another Lockseed and held it up. This Lockseed had the design of a helmet of a green and black Rider. He activated it.
Double! Lock On! Double Arms: Cyclone, Joker! Ha-Ha-Ha!
A giant version of the Riders head landed on his shoulders and folded down into new Arms. In his right hand, a silver, black, and red staff named the Metal Shaft formed while his left hand had a light blue, dark blue, gold, and black gun named the Trigger Magnum form.
"Now, shall we count up MY crimes?" Fifteen asked.
"Hey, that's my Arms!" Ryugen pointed at him angrily. "And at least get the phrasing right!" she held up her gun before charging at Fifteen.
Ryugen aimed at Fifteen and fired several times. Fifteen swung the Metal Shaft around and blocked the attacks before firing back with the Trigger Magnum, hitting Ryugen in the chest. Ryugen stopped in place due to the attack, allowing Fifteen to rush forward and stab her in the chest with the Metal Shaft. When she fell back he continued to swing the Metal Shaft around before slamming it into her neck. Baron then jumped in while trying to stab at him. Energy balls formed in the air and shifted into USB shapes before they fell into the Metal Shaft and Trigger Magnum. Fifteen ducked out of the way of the stab and slammed the Trigger Magnum onto his knee in a way that folded the front of Magnum up and aimed it at Baron.
TRIGGER! METAL! MAXIMUM DRIVE!
He pulled the trigger on his gun and retrieved his staff before stabbing it into Ryugen's gut.
The two Riders fell back from the attacks before they exploded, what appeared to be a Lockseed forming from each explosion before said Lockseed vanished.
"Igneous! Sparkle!" Gaim called before growling and holding up three Kunai in Shuriken mode. He threw it at Fifteen, resulting in it flying towards the skeleton Rider. Said Rider blasted it as it came near and caused an explosion but it didn't stop Gaim running up and jumping through the cloud to drop-kick him.
Back with Wizard and Wyvern, Wyvern stumbled backwards from a stab before pulling out a Lockseed and clicking it open before activating it.
Den-O! Lock On! Count Zero! Den-O Arms: Iza! Climax!
Above her head, a Crack formed with a Riders helmet descending onto her shoulders. The Arms folded down with a sword-like weapon named the DenGasher.
"I've arrived" she simply said before brandishing the DenGasher and then charging.
Wizard brandished his weapon and blocked a slash from Wyvern before she ended up kicking him in the gut then wildly slashing across his stomach. Wyvern converted the DenGasher into a gun mode before firing at Wizard again. Wizard fell back as the attacks struck him but converted his weapon to gun mode and fired back. His bullets curved in mid-air and struck Wyvern's.
After a bit, Wyvern turned her weapon into an axe. Wizard didn't stop firing but Wyvern didn't stop charging. When she was close enough, Wizard ducked out of the way while turning his gun back to sword mode. He blocked a strike from the axe and lashed out with a kick onto her stomach. Standing up, he replaced his Flame Style Ring with another version of the same Ring, this one having a red gem in the center of wings that were on the forehead.
"You've gotten stronger with a form change, huh? Well you're still not strong enough to beat me. So let's change it up." He said before he activated the Ring on his WizarDriver.
FLAME, DRAGON! BOU, BOU, BOU BOU BOU!
His suit turned bright red with the ruby design on his chest being replaced with a dragon design. His helmet was the same but there was a gem in the center of wings on his forehead.
Wizard took out another Ring and placed it on his right hand before activating it on his WizarSwordGun.
COPY, PLEASE!
A copy of the WizarSwordGun appeared in his left hand and he brandished it before charging.
Back with Gaim, he was knocked backwards by Fifteen, who shot him in the chest with the Trigger Magnum.
When he hit the ground, Fifteen fired again, but Gaim rolled out of the way and got onto one knee while pulling off his Sengoku Driver. He then pulled out a red, black, and silver buckle named the Genesis Driver before placing it onto his waist. Gaim then pulled out an orange Lockseed with a cyan base before clicking it and activating it on his new Driver.
Orange Energy! Lock, On! Soda! Orange Energy Arms!
The Orange Energy Armor Parts fell onto his shoulders and changed his Gaim suit into his Gaim-Shin suit, which had silver highlights and a white coloration on the sides. The Armor Parts folded down with the front, back, and left side going down correctly while the right side folded over and moved onto his left shoulder. His helmet had two orange-slice shaped pieces sticking out and his horns were silver with a green gem. His mouthpiece had a gold color. In his right hand a modified version of the Sonic Arrow appeared, except it was designed after an orange slice. This weapon was the DaiDaiArrow.
Gaim-Shin brandished his DaiDaiArrow before running at Fifteen and slashing.
The two clashed blades for a bit of time with equal force. However, while Gaim-Shin had the better technique and was faster, Fifteen was more powerful in terms of strength and defense. Gaim-Shin shot Fifteen in the chest with an arrow before slashing at him. Fifteen was hit by the arrow but easily blocked the DaiDaiArrow and stabbed Gaim-Shin in the chest.
Wizard blocked the DenGasher with his right sword before stabbing forward with his left and catching Wyvern across the chest. The Rider fell back and was subjected to multiple slashes from Wizard before he kicked her away.
"You're really weak. Weren't you really strong the last time I saw you? Wait, did I fight you or did I fight someone else?" Wizard questioned.
While he was questioning that, Wyvern stood up and readied her weapon before she ran at him.
Before she could get close Wizard stabbed at her without even looking. He spun his right sword around his finger and then slashed across her chest. After that he stabbed forward with both weapons and hit her in the stomach to knock her back.
Nearby, Gaim-Shin fell to the ground with Fifteen standing over him with his gun aimed at Gaim-Shin's throat.
"Hm?" Wizard turned to him.
Fifteen prepared to shoot when Gaim managed to raise his DaiDaiArrow to shoot an energy arrow at Fifteen's chest to knock him off.
CHOIINE! SPECIAL! SAIKO!
A dragon's head appeared on Wizard's chest before it roared. A stream of flames shot from its mouth and covered Fifteen, burning him.
From the side, Wyvern was about to attack Wizard when Unmei and Knuckle both jumped in and attacked her.
Count Zero! Full Charge!
"Get out of the way!" Wyvern slashed with her DenGasher and struck Unmei and Knuckle with a slash across their stomachs, knocking them back and causing an explosion much alike those of Baron and Ryugen.
"Aqune! Slate!" Gaim-Shin called.
Wizard turned to his previous opponent and held his arms out, the dragons head letting out a stream of flames to stop Wyvern in her place.
When he stopped, Dreigon jumped in and punched at Wyvern, distracting her for a bit. Wizard pulled out a Ring and grabbed Gaim-Shin by his right wrist to pull him closer.
"Hey!" Gaim-Shin said.
"Think of a safe place that you would go to hide" Wizard told him as he slid the Ring onto Gaim-Shin's middle right finger. He activated it on his belt.
CONNECT, PLEASE!
A Magic Ring formed underneath Gaim-Shin, Wizard, and Dreigon before they fell into it with Gaim-Shin and Dreigon screaming out in surprise.
Fifteen watched this happen and sighed. "They escaped. No matter. They'll be eliminated soon enough.
Wyvern growled as she stared at the place they were standing in.
Back at Hinata's apartment, Hinata was in her kitchen pouring a glass of water with Corona and Teru across the counter from her.
"So you just left him behind? Really?" Hinata looked at Corona, surprised.
"I had to get Teru to safety and brought him here. I know Hunter well enough to say that he can get through the situation I left him in easily."
"Still, doesn't it feel the least bit wrong? I mean he is pretty important to you"
"Well…" Corona started.
"It's not like he's just going to show up perfectly fine from nowhere." Hinata raised her glass to her lips.
CONNECT, PLEASE!
The Magic Ring formed in the middle of Hinata's living room, Gaim-Shin, Wizard, and Dreigon falling out of it. Gaim-Shin and Dreigon fell onto the ground while Wizard landed on his two feet.
"Ow…" Gaim-Shin groaned as his suit dissolved.
Dreigon sat up and looked around while confused. "Where are we?" his suit dissolved and he turned into Z.
A Magic Ring appeared underneath Wizard and went up, changing him back to Yuya. "Well, it's supposed to be a safe place. This place does seem rather nice though" he commented.
Hinata looked at the shocked Corona with a blank expression. "This is what has to happen now that you two live here, isn't it?"
Ren walked into a parking lot, confused while looking at a phone. Ren was a young man wearing a pair of white shorts and a white T-shirt with a red X on it. He had on a pair of glasses and appeared rather pale. He had short black hair. Around his waist was a silver belt with a red handle on the side and a panel in the center that revealed a disc.
"Okay, there is an anomaly in space-time here…" he looked around confused "but as of right now there's nothing out of th-" He was interrupted when a sudden Crack made out of bones formed, a purple void inside of it.
"Never mind it's here" Ren gaped as he stared at the Crack. A solid five seconds passed when all of a sudden, several Badan Combat-Roids fell through, startling Ren.
"Badan? I was right to check this out" he pocketed his phone.
After a few more moments, a humanoid figure that looked to be like a turtle in design with a bazooka on his shell fell out of the Crack. The turtle man, named Turtle Bazooka, was now trying to get off of his back and back to his feet.
As the Combat-Roids started to help Turtle Bazooka up, another figure jumped out of the Crack before it closed for good. This figure however, did not appear to be a part of Badan. This figure was a young woman in rather light clothing and with a strange belt with a face on it. In other words, this figure was Amy.
"G-get away from me! You monster!" Turtle Bazooka struggled to try and back away from her.
Amy frowned as she started speaking. "I'm getting tired of this." However, Ren tilted his head in confusion. "What did she say?" he noticed that the Combat-Roids were starting to prepare for a fight. "Crap, understand what she's saying or not, she's not going to last long, I have to get in there!" he prepared to transform when the woman reached to her belt.
"This is for Ledo." She spoke up again, saying something else in her language as her left hand rested on the left handle. She twisted it forward, resulting in the red eyes on her buckle lighting up.
OMEGA!
Starting to shout, Amy lowered her arms to her side. "AAAAAAAHHHHHHHHH! AMAZON!" she called out suddenly.
"Eh?! Amazon?!" Ren called out, being able to understand that word.
Suddenly, green flames and energy erupted from the woman, covering her in green energy. The green energy that erupted from her knocked Turtle Bazooka and the Combat-Roids over. Ren raised his arms up to cover himself as he noticed the woman start to change underneath the energy.
EVOLU-E-EVOLUTION!
The energy eventually died down, flames being the only remnants to show that something had happened. Standing in the woman's place was an armored figure. The figure had a slender build and had green skin with red highlights and some black coloration that appeared to be reminiscent of an undersuit seen on Kamen Riders. Her chest and stomach were a tannish color. Her elbows and kneecaps had black armor on them. Under her elbows and knees there was black armor with spikes jutting out of them. The spikes were blades that looked dangerously sharp. Her helmet was smooth and was green with red stripes and a silver mouth. Her eyes were the same red color as the "eyes" on her belt. There was a small horn jutting out of her head as well. Her back had spines going down her spine.
This was Kamen Rider Amazon Omega.
Amazon Omega cracked her neck and widened her stance while bring her arms up, showing the blades on her arms. Growling, she looked between all of them before running forward.
She jumped into the air and spun, slamming her foot into the neck of a Combat-Roid and knocking it over. She landed on her side on the ground before swinging her leg around and getting to one knee. After this, she blocked a slash from another Combat-Roid before grabbing it by its arm and throwing it over her shoulder. She stabbed it with her arm blade before getting up and turning to the others.
Turtle Bazooka leaned forward and aimed his cannon at her. Amazon Omega noticed this as she dodged an attack from a Combat-Roid. She grabbed the Combat-Roid and threw it towards Turtle Bazooka as he fired his attack, the explosion completely obliterating the Combat-Roid. Amazon Omega jumped through the area where the Combat-Roid was while pulling the right handle of her belt out. As she did, a liquid formed at the inside edge but solidified to form a sickle.
VIOLENT BREAK!
She swung with the newly formed weapon as Turtle Bazooka was standing up, the blade going into his shoulder. As the monster screamed, the female Rider jumped into the air and planted her feet on his stomach, kicking outwards and resulting in the weapon was ripped out of Turtle Bazooka's shoulder.
When she landed, she got onto one knee again and put the grip back in her belt. Then she brought her arms back to brandish her arm blades. When another approached she simply swung at it and cut across its gut before standing up and slashing its neck with the same blade.
"The brutal way she fights…I'm positive! That's the Amazon I'm looking for...but wasn't Amazon said to be a guy?"
Amazon Omega jumped at another Combat-Roid, kneeing him hard in the chest before she chopped downwards. The attack ended up cutting the Combat-Roid in half, getting a bit of oil on her before she knocked both halves away.
"That doesn't matter. But I guess I need to make it so we can actually communicate… did I have that translation earpiece on me?" Ren started searching his person.
While he did this, Amazon Omega jumped into the air and planted her right heel blade onto the shoulder of a Combat-Roid before dragging downwards harshly and cutting its arm off. Using the same leg she spun and slashed another one that was sneaking up behind her.
Finally, she turned around to the Combat-Roid whose arm and shoulder she cut off, which was the last one remaining. She kicked it in the knee to knock it over before grabbing it by the side of the helmet. After this, the Amazon slashed with her arm blade and decapitated the robot.
Amazon Omega turned to Turtle Bazooka, who was holding his arm in pain and trying to get away.
"GET AWAY FROM ME!"
"I've killed all your robot minions, and now it's your turn!" Amazon Omega shouted before turning the left handle on her belt for the second time.
VIOLENT PUNISH!
Amazon Omega reared her right arm back and ran forward. Turtle Bazooka turned and tried to run only for Amazon Omega to jump into the air and shorten the distance between them in less than a second. She slashed with her right arm blade, which seemed a lot sharper than usual. The slash was performed at the neck of Turtle Bazooka, cutting it and resulting in its blood spraying from the wound. After this, the monster stopped at grabbed his neck only for Amazon Omega to slash again and cut him at his waist, splitting him in two.
Turtle Bazooka fell to the ground and let out a final cry of pain before he stopped moving.
Amazon Omega panted and simply stared at the corpse for a moment before she reached up to the belt and pulled it off. Energy went into her belt and changed her back into Amy.
"Well, I did it… but where am I?" she looked around, confused but still noticing Ren. "Maybe I should have thought a bit more before I jumped into that portal"
Ren approached Amy from the side. "Excuse me, miss?" he said.
The woman turned to him, wary. She noticed the belt on his waist and her eyes widened.
"I'm not going to hurt you!" Ren raised his hands in defense. "I'm just trying to help"
"What are you saying?" Amy said.
"I'm a friend! I'm a Rider!" Ren motioned to the belt around his waist.
The woman narrowed her eyes at him. "If you have a weird belt then you're an Amazon, right? Does that mean you have a Register?" She began talking; the only word that Ren could understand out of it was "Amazon"
Ren nodded. "Yes, I'm a Rider. I'm Kamen Rider X, are you Kamen Rider Amazon?"
The woman tilted her head in confusion before she started eyeing his right arm warily. Ren looked at her in confusion before looking at his arm. The woman reached for her belt.
"Hey! Hey! I'm a friend!" Ren said. He began slowly walking towards her. She eyed him as he slowly brought the hand with the earpiece closer to her face. Before she could respond, he placed the earpiece in her ear and pressed it, turning it on.
Amy punched him in the face and was about to rip the earpiece out when Ren started talking. "Wait! Wait!" She stopped and looked at him. "I can… understand you?"
Ren massaged his nose in pain. "Yes, that earpiece was designed to help translate any language into languages everyone can understand."
"Really?" she pulled out the earpiece and looked over it. "That's so cool!"
"Anyways, who are you?" Ren asked. Amy looked back up at him and put the earpiece back in. "I'm sorry, what?"
"Who are you?" Ren repeated.
"Oh, I'm Amy." Amy held her hand out. Ren shook it before the two put their hands back to their sides. "So, you're an Amazon? Have you awakened yet?" she asked. "Because I've never seen an Amazonz Driver like that before" she pointed as his belt.
"What? No, I'm not Amazon, you're Amazon, right?"
"You're not an Amazon? But you have a belt." Amy pointed out.
Ren looked down at his belt. "Yeah, I use this to change into my Rider form."
Amy tilted her head in confusion. "Rider?"
"Yeah, Kamen Rider." Ren explained to her.
"Kamen…Rider? What is that?"
GROWL
Before Ren could explain, Amy's stomach growled loudly. Her face turned bright red as she grabbed her stomach. "Sorry, I ran out of energy after that fight."
"What?" Ren blinked.
"Hey, let's just go get something to eat and I'll explain there, okay?" Amy grabbed onto Ren's hand.
"What." Ren repeated.
"Come on, let's go!" Amy started dragging Ren out of the parking lot.
"Hey! Hey! HEY!" Ren called out, trying to stop her.
May walked down the sidewalk while looking around. "I just need to find a person with a weird belt. Just one person" she said.
She continued walking before sitting down at a bus stop bench. "Darry sent me to this world but she didn't exactly say who to meet. And Geo was the one who knew the other Riders. What can I do?" she sighed.
Leaning back against the bench, she pulled the disc off the side of her belt and looked at it.
"Why did Geo choose me for this? I don't get it." She said aloud.
Someone sat down on the bench next to her. "Having problems with something?" a male voice asked.
May lowered her arm and looked at the new person. This person was a few years older than May and wearing black jeans under a silver mechanical belt with what appeared to be a phone on the buckle. He had on a black tank top and red leather jacket with silver highlights. He had long black hair that was rather wild.
"Who are you?" May asked.
"Raito Tachibana. I'm a Rider, like you" Raito explained.
May's eyes widened. "What? How did you-"
"Know? You have a weird belt. Kind of obvious at this point" Raito remarked. "Though I remember there was a guy with that kind of belt before."
"Another guy… you mean Geo?"
"I think so. I didn't really see much of him in that Bujin World. Only during that final battle with that Bujin Dreigon dude. So you're the secondary Rider, right?" Raito leaned back against the bench.
"How did you find me?" May asked.
Raito pointed to his nose. "As an Orpenoch I have enhanced senses. I smell explosions and tears on you. Given how I feel about pain and other suffering…I'm going to step in." Raito explained. "But enough about me; are you here for the Rider War too?"
"I guess so."
"Don't ever guess about something like this. Be sure of yourself."
"I…don't even know you" May pointed out.
"Fair point, fair point." Raito nodded. "But I've found even my best allies to be those I don't know and that sometimes your best friends can…" Raito stopped and his eyes watered the slightest bit.
"…Raito?" May said.
Raito wiped his eyes and looked at May. "That's not important. But I trust you enough. You seem rather nice and calm. That's why I'll need your help to get through this Rider War. Would you help me?"
May paused but answered soon enough.
"Of course. If I can help to save people then I will."
Daigo and Tsukasa walked out of the subway.
"If Badan's base wasn't in there, then where could it have been?" Tsukasa wondered to himself.
"This has happened before, right?" Daigo pointed out. Tsukasa looked at his ally. "What are you talking about? Of course it has"
"If it has, and this is the same Badan, wouldn't they have realized that we might know where their base was previously? Could those guys have just been decoys?" Daigo reasoned.
Tsukasa thought for a moment and groaned when he realized it. "Yes it is possible they were. If that's true we have no idea where Badan could be."
"Does that really matter right now? Shouldn't we worry about gathering other Riders or whatever for the fight? We should be getting people and warning them about Badan's plans-"
"That won't work. At this point our knowledge of what's happening won't apply unless everything goes exactly as it did in the last fight against Badan. And since it doesn't we're going through this just as blindly as the others.
"Then what do you suggest we do?" A voice suddenly came from Daigo's belt, the screen lighting up a different color with each syllable.
Daigo raised his left hand up to show of his Shogun Brace before talking into it.
"I think we have to fight, SamuraiMaru."
"But why? What is the purpose of this "war" that we have to be involved in?" SamuraiMaru asked.
"SamuraiMaru… I know how this entire "Kamen Rider War" must confuse you, but please, I really need your help to do this" Daigo pleaded with his belt.
"…Very well. In that case I- Daigo! To your left!"
Daigo and Tsukasa looked to the left to see a small purple car driving away on the ground.
"A Shift Car?" Daigo recognized the item before chasing after it. Tsukasa followed.
The car formed a track and managed to keep them at a fair distance while they kept chasing after it. Eventually it turned a corner with the track vanishing. As the two chasing it followed, they stopped when the Shift Car jumped into the hands of an unfamiliar young man.
Kaz caught Midnight Shadow. "Thank you for your help, Shadow." He looked up at Daigo and Tsukasa. "Pardon me for intruding and eavesdropping, but I figured that with there being something strange going on in this world according to a machine my friend made, that it was worth checking out. So here I am, and I have to ask, who are you two and what are you doing in this world?"
"I'm Tsukasa Kadoya and this is Daigo Mirai. I presume that you're a Rider as well by the belt?"
Kaz nodded as he put Midnight Shadow back on the Shift Car Carrier. "I'm Kazuya Gordon, Kamen Rider Drive. Now answer my question, what's going on?"
