Tsukasa, Natsumi and Kivaara found themselves back at the Hikari Studio, albeit with the front door now broken and with a smashed window.

"What did you do?" asked Natsumi to Kivaara.

"I got you all to safety, see," she replied.

Stunned at what had just happened, Tsukasa fell to the floor. Natsumi went over to him "You OK?" she asked craning over him.

"Who am I?" said Tsukasa.

Natsumi was puzzled, "What do you mean?"

"Who am I?"

"You're Tsukasa."

"No I'm not," and Tsukasa got up, "That man in the throne room was Tsukasa. I'm the destroyer of worlds Decade. And what I thought I knew is all wrong. Your grandfather was a Dai Shocker scientist. And what are you? You're secretly a Kamen Rider for all I know and Kivaara's probably a spy working for someone." Kivaara blushed.

"Tsukasa?" said Natsumi in shock. She had no idea what to say to Tsukasa's revelation.

"Just leave me alone!" snapped Tsukasa, and with that a grey wall appeared and he vanished.

"I don't think he meant it literally!" Natsumi snapped at Kivaara.

"What are you shouting at me for, I didn't do anything!" retorted the bat.

All of a sudden, Shocker footsoldiers came crashing down from the sky like missiles and there was a great explosion. Natsumi ducked and shielded her eyes from the blast. After she opened them again she found Kivaara had disappeared.

But that wasn't all.

The Hikari Studio was now in pieces. And to make matters worse, a group of Shocker footsoldiers were now headed toward her.

She ran, only to find herself run into another grey wall and into the centre of chaos, surrounded by tonnes of rubble from buildings that had been bombed and dozens of hundreds of civilians fleeing for their lives. She ended up being caught in one of these crowds when she felt something grab her. Then she fell through another a grey wall, and found herself by a river. Then whatever had got hold of her let go. It was Narutaki and Kivaara was fluttering by his side with him.

"See, I found someone to save you," said Kivaara.

"The walls between worlds are collapsing. I warned you repeatedly, this would happen!" said Narutaki.

"We have to find Tsukasa, he's not himself," said Natsumi.

"He's not himself? Ha! That means he won't destroy anymore worlds in addition to the ones already destroyed!" said Narutaki.

Suddenly, they were surrounded by Shocker footsoldiers.

"No world is safe anymore. Leave this to me," said Narutaki, pushing Natsumi behind his back and reaching for something in his coat pocket, when suddenly one of the footsoldiers leapt out from the crowd and began knocking the others over. Then he drew out the Diendriver and shot those who remained standing. Then he pulled off his mask. It was Daiki.

"I hid among Dai Shocker's forces," he explained, "it was the last place they'd look for me. I knew that tournament was rigged, I was just there for the treasure."

"Daiki, do you know the truth about Tsukasa?" asked Natsumi.

"You mean that he's a fake? Yeah, pretty much. Funny thing is though, if it weren't for Dai Shocker, I wouldn't have this." He held the Diendriver in front of their faces. "After I found out my brother was the leader of the Kamen Riders of my world, Dai Shocker kidnapped me and attempted to brainwash me into becoming their soldier. Fortunately one of their footsoldiers helped me to escape with this. I expect he's dead now. Still, at least their attempted brainwashing left me with more trivia than about the worlds that I'd like to know, and of course the Diendriver."

"That object grants you the ability to travel through dimensional walls doesn't it?" said Narutaki, "We need to search for any remaining riders to fight against Dai Shocker."

"Remaining? I thought they were all dead?" said Daiki.

"Some of us had the sense to stay away from that tournament!" replied Naruatki.

"You mean, you're a Kamen Rider as well?" asked Natsumi.

Narutaki nodded.

"Why don't I just summon a bunch of riders with the Diendriver?" asked Daiki.

"If we are to defeat Dai Shocker then we cannot rely on mere copies," replied Narutaki, "they won't be as effective as flesh and blood riders who can think on their feet."

"If I help search with you, will I be reimbursed in treasure?" asked Daiki. Then all of a sudden Narutaki grabbed him by his collar, "Listen here!" he shouted, "If you don't help us now there won't be any treasure for you to find, you understand!" And he let go. Narutaki and Kivaara walked off first with Daiki and Natsumi following behind them.

"I think he's finally snapped," murmured Daiki to Natsumi.

"You're lucky, if it were me, I would have hit you here," said Natsumi, motioning toward Daiki's neck with her thumb.

"Would you like me to bite him?" Kivaara asked Narutaki, "he'll be as obedient as a puppy dog."

"I hate dogs," muttered Narutaki.


Elsewhere Tsukasa was hiding among the ruins of a destroyed building feeling sorry for himself and wallowing in his thoughts. He had ignored the crowds of screaming citizens running from the hordes of kaijin. In fact there were now only a handful of survivors in the world where he found himself. "Nothing," he thought, "I'm nothing. There's nothing I can do." Then he heard footsteps approaching. Tsukasa turned and saw a man bearing a resemblance to Japanese rock singer Gackt, albeit with sunglasses.

"Tsukasa Kadoya." said the man.

"I don't answer to that anymore," said Tsukasa.

"Then whatever you answer to now, do you know who I am?" Tsukasa looked up to face him and a memory sparked in his mind, of a fight in an abandoned factory, a kaijin crashing through a mirror and the man throwing a card at him. "I am Joji Yuki," explained the man, "I was a scientist for Dai Shocker."

"Was?"

"Yes, until they betrayed me. I built for tools for them, and they 'thanked' me by cutting off my right arm."

But Tsukasa had noticed that despite what Joji had said, he still had both of his arms. Joji then raised his right arm. "This is a prosthetic," he explained.

"If you're not working for Dai Shocker, then what are you doing now, and why are you befriending me?" asked Tsukasa.

"I fight against their forces, wherever I find them," said Joji. Just then there was some shouting from faraway.

"What's the point in fighting?"

"What makes you say such a thing?"

"I used to fight for all worlds. To rescue them from evil that threatened them and to also go on my own journey to find answers to who I was. Now I see that I am no one. I am only a clone."

"I didn't help Dr. Hikari help you escape to hear things like this."

"Why did you help grandpa at all? Just leave me to die!"

"Is that what you really think?" The noises got louder and Joji began tugging at his arm, as though he were trying to yank it off altogether. "You're right! You are nobody, and you're going to stay a nobody if you believe that! The original Tsukasa can't decide who you are, only you can." Suddenly Joji completely pulled his arm off, revealing mechanical connections where he had yanked it off. "Look at this. When I lost my arm I could have given up, but I still had my life and I chose to fight. That is Kamen Rider isn't it?" And he slammed on a spear-like implement onto his arm.

The words reverberated in Tsukasa's head for a few seconds when suddenly there was a loud crash. Joji turned to see a horde of kaijin enter the building.

Tsukasa stood up. "I will defend all worlds from Dai Shocker and any evil," he declared.

Joji smiled. "Good. Now I believe you have comrades you need to help," he said.

"But what about you?" said Tsukasa.

"I'll be fine here, now go."

With that Tsukasa ran from the building as Joji prepared to face the monsters. "Henshin!" he shouted.

Tsukasa turned and saw Joji now wearing a blue helmet with green and red stripes, a yellow muffler and a black rubber suit. "Go!" shouted Joji to Tsukasa. And he ran.
