Kamen Rider Decade X Kamen Rider Dragon Knight
By: Phinal Phantasy
Chapter 4—Rescue Battle
(A/N: Well the poll is over and several people have spoken. As requested both Kase/Siren and Xaviax/Wrath will be involved in the fic in the near future and I have some great plans for them. Thanks to everyone who voted for making my first fanfiction poll a success. Without further ado, here's the next chapter.)
(Disclaimer: I don't own Kamen Rider Decade or Kamen Rider Dragon Knight. I'm just having fun with them.)
BOLD ALL CAPS = DecaDriver or DiEndDriver
Bold & Italics First-Letter Caps = Advent Decks
"What kind of Kamen Rider are you?" Strike demanded, glaring at Kuuga.
"The good kind," Kuuga bantered at his enemy, "Call me Kamen Rider Kuuga."
"More like the kind on the wrong side," Spear said, "Guess the schoolboys got to stick together huh. You'll make your father proud, making a friend like this," he looked at Dragon Knight when he said that.
"Leave my father out of this!" Dragon Knight said getting into a fighting pose.
"Then join Xaviax," Axe countered.
"And help conquer the Earth? Forget it!" Dragon Knight charged at Strike who quickly countered the heroic Rider's assault by swinging his staff and hitting Dragon Knight on the shoulder, causing sparks to fly, followed by a kick to his side. Axe moved in to give Strike some backup, but Kuuga came in and punched the evil Rider in the chest. Spear came in to help his brother and kicked Kuuga in the side, but he countered with a spinning kick that connected with both of them. Meanwhile, Dragon Knight retaliated against Strike, dodging his staff and punching him hard and knocking him to another side.
"I've got the Cho Brothers; you worry about the other one!" Kuuga said, continuing his assault against Axe and Spear.
"No problem!" Dragon Knight fought hard against his opponent, ducking under a sideways slash of Strike's staff and driving both of his fists into the cobra Rider's gut, forcing him back, but he was quick to counter with a strong kick that almost sent Dragon Knight into his helpless father, but he managed to catch himself on the wheelchair's arms and kicked behind him to keep Strike away while Dragon Knight attempted to move his father. The evil Rider stumbled back and went through one of the several standing mirrors set up in the room.
"Well that's a neat trick," Kuuga grinned under his helmet when he saw Strike go through the mirror. His moment of hesitation gave Spear a chance to knock Kuuga back into the waiting fists of his brother. Kuuga took several hits in the back before grabbing one of Axe's wrists, but then he spun around and tossed him into Spear, giving Dragon Knight some extra room to maneuver his father.
"Maya get ready!" Dragon Knight told his friend. Both Maya and Natsumi nodded and moved from their hiding place to go help recover Frank Taylor. Dragon Knight pushed the wheelchair to make it move faster and then turned to back up Kuuga against the Cho Brothers, but as the wheelchair approached the ladies, Strike emerged from a different mirror to intercept it. He moved and grabbed the wheelchair with one hand and pointed his weapon at Natsumi and Maya with the other.
"Natsumi-chan!" Yuusuke kicked Axe into Spear and ran quickly to help his friends. Dragon Knight trusted Kuuga to handle this and as the Cho Brothers got up, he attacked them with a fury of punches and roundhouse kicks.
"This will teach you to get in my way!" Strike slashed at Maya but Natsumi moved in the way, taking the hit in the shoulder and upper arm as Kuuga tackled Strike to the ground.
"I'll never forgive you for that!" Kuuga shouted, springing back up and bouncing on the balls of his feet.
"Are you alright?" Maya looked at Natsumi's arm which was bleeding profusely.
"It's not as bad as it looks, let's get Kit-kun's father out of here," Natsumi replied, clutching her arm in pain.
Spear was starting to get away from Dragon Knight, but he grabbed the evil Rider and spun him back into the ground as Axe came at him with his namesake weapon. Dragon Knight raised his arm in defense and sparks flew as the blade of the axe contacted his armor.
"Take my dad and get out of here! Go Go!" Dragon Knight shouted at Maya and Natsumi. Maya nodded and put an arm around Natsumi who was still holding her injured arm but together the two girls were pushing the wheelchair carrying Frank Taylor out of the building.
"Be careful Kit!" Maya called back to her friend.
"Yuusuke-kun, don't worry about me, help Kit-kun," Natsumi added.
"No we need him!" Strike said hitting Kuuga with a leg sweep, but as Kuuga landed on the ground, he did a counter sweep with his arm and then rolled on the ground before getting up to block the exit.
"I won't let you lay another hand on my friends!" Kuuga said.
"Leave the girls alone, this is between us now," Dragon Knight said, moving to join Kuuga.
"We don't want to fight you, Kit, we want you to join us," Strike said getting back on his feet, "And I'm sure Xaviax could find a use for you as well," he added to Kuuga as Axe and Spear moved to join their comrade.
"Go to hell!" Both heroic Riders replied defiantly.

Gigazelle rushed at Decade, its horns pointed to try to pierce the Rider's armor. Decade tried to grab the horns with each hand but instead of stopping, he was being carried along for the ride so he dug his feet in to try to stop the momentum. Smoke came from the bottom of his feet as he did so, but then two other humanoid gazelle Mirror Monsters, one to each side of Decade came at him with strong kicks forcing him to his knees, but he was still holding on to Gigazelle's horns and the leader of the herd tossed him over his head into the waiting kicks of two extra gazelle monsters. The first three lowered their heads and began to stampede towards Decade who was being held by the latter two monsters.
"You aren't as clever as you think," Decade said. He spun the two gazelle monsters holding him into the path of the other three, causing them to felt the brunt of the attack and the two of them were destroyed. Decade drew a card and activated it.
"ATTACK RIDE: ILLUSION!" Suddenly two clones of Decade were at the side of the real one, one drew the DecaDriver in sword mode, the other in gun mode while the real one was still bare handed. The three gazelle monsters charged at the three Decades, but the one with the sword side stepped and slashed his opponent in the side while the one with the gun simply fired directly at it, causing it to stumble and fall short of hitting Decade. Gigazelle was fighting the real Decade, who jumped in the air and landed on its shoulders, forcing it to the ground, before bouncing off of the monster and his clones sent the other two gazelle Mirror Monsters towards Gigazelle. Decade's clones moved to rejoin him and they merged back into one again.
"Time to finish this," Decade drew one last card and tapped it in his hand before inserting it into his DecaDriver.
"FINAL ATTACK RIDE: DE-DE-DE-DECADE!" Several illusionary human-sized cards that were gold in color and bearing the Decade symbol appeared one after the other in between Decade and his target, standing vertically. Decade leapt into the air and the "cards" moved upwards the ones closer to Decade moved higher than the ones farther away from him. Decade performed a flying Rider Kick at the first card which teleported him to the second one, increasing his speed, and it continued like that through all the cards until he built up a lot of energy and speed when his kick finally made contact with Gigazelle. Each card disappeared as it was used and when Decade made contact with the monster, a ring of gold energy surrounded his foot as the kick hit. Gigazelle was struck hard and sailed in the air towards the other two gazelle monsters, then all three exploded in a huge fireball.
"Better get back to Natsumikan and Yuusuke," Decade said to himself before walking through the mirror he entered through to find his bike and catch up with his friends.

Strike slashed at Dragon Knight who leapt out of the way and landed beside Kuuga who delivered a roundhouse kick to Spear. Kuuga moved back in to battle his opponent while Axe slashed at Dragon Knight, leaving Strike free to strategize. He looked at a mirror in the room away from the battle and entered it. Kuuga took a kick from Spear to the side while Axe grabbed Dragon Knight from behind and both heroic Riders were right in front of a mirror when Strike emerged and slashed both across the back, then the Cho Brothers threw their opponents to the ground. Dragon Knight and Kuuga got up and saw their three enemies together.
"I tried to be reasonable but now we're through playing," Strike said, drawing a card from his deck and inserting it into his staff.
"Attack Vent!" Suddenly Strike's Advent Beast, Venosnaker, a large purple cobra appeared and bit at Kuuga and swiped at Dragon Knight with his tail.
"Ahh," Kuuga looked at his arm, but fortunately it didn't look like his armor was penetrated.
"Are you okay?" Dragon Knight asked, getting up from the ground.
"Yeah, but this is going harder than I thought it would," Kuuga replied. Dragon Knight drew a card from his own deck to counter Strike's attack.
"Attack Vent!" Just as Venosnaker moved to attack again, Dragon Knight's Advent Beast, Dragredder appeared and breathed fire on the giant snake and both monsters began to try to wrap each other in their coils.
"Don't forget about us!" Spear came out of another mirror, kicking Dragon Knight while taking advantage of the distraction of watching the Advent Beasts do battle. They both disappeared as the evil Rider then inserted a card into the slot on his right knee.
"Spin Vent!" Spear was now wielding his powerful twin lance and jabbed at Dragon Knight furiously. Kuuga moved in to help but a pair of large claws came out of a mirror beside of him and hit him with a furious uppercut, sending him into a nearby janitor's closet where various tools fell on him. Shaking it off, he saw Axe, armed already with his Strike Vent giving Spear a high five with the large claws.
"Nice," the Cho Brothers grinned at each other under their helmets.
"It's the mirrors. Watch out!" Kuuga warned Dragon Knight. He then grabbed one of the brooms and hit his belt, "Chou Henshin!" instantly the red part of his armor turned blue and the broom in his hand became a long blue staff as he changed into Dragon Form. He then spun his Dragon Rod rapidly before moving towards
Axe and Strike.
"Wow cool!" Dragon Knight commented before drawing a card and inserting it into his gauntlet.
"Guard Vent!"Dragon Knight was now wielding twin shields that had a dragon's foot on each corner and he blocked Spear's twin lances with one shield and bashed the other in the evil Rider's torso, sending him through a nearby mirror, then Dragon Knight went in to follow him.
Kuuga-Dragon was using the long reach of his Dragon Rod to jab at Axe in order to keep the tiger Rider's large claws away from him. When Strike tried to move in, Kuuga-Dragon spun his rod, hitting the evil Rider across the head, sending him back a few feet. Then Kuuga-Dragon turned his attention to Axe. After a few direct hits to Axe's chest, the evil Rider used his claws to grab one end of Kuuga-Dragon's weapon and then Strike moved in, stabbing at Kuuga-Dragon's side with his own staff, forcing Kuuga-Dragon to let go of his rod, which turned back into a broom, and then Strike followed with a powerful kick to Kuuga-Dragon's side. The evil Rider was taken by surprise when Spear came out of another mirror sent sailing through the air by Dragon Knight who came out a second later, but no longer armed with his Guard Vent. Spear crashed into Strike sending both to the ground but Axe came towards Kuuga-Dragon and slashed upwards with one claw at his prone opponent, forcing him to his feet before slashing him again with the other one, knocking him into Dragon Knight, sending both of them through a mirror. Then Axe smashed the mirror itself.
"No more surprises from there," he muttered. Then the other two evil Riders got up, each one guarding one of the remaining mirrors when Dragon Knight and Kuuga, who reverted to his regular Mighty Form, each came out of one, they were grabbed by the Cho Brothers.
"Don't you want this to be over?" Strike asked.
"I'll never join Xaviax. Never! I said no deal and I meant it!" Dragon Knight elbowed Axe who was holding him then spun around to punch him across the jaw sending him back to the mirror Dragon Knight came out of.
"You abduct his father, try to turn him against his friend, and then expect him to join you?" Kuuga said, "This Xaviax must really be a fool!" He grabbed Spear and flipped him over his back, but held on to the evil Rider's wrist to remove his weapon, then kicked Spear away, "Cho Henshin!" Kuuga's armor changed color to purple and silver, got thicker, and his shoulder guards got larger. Now in Titan Form, Kuuga used the captured Spiral Vent weapon and changed it into a longsword. He then pushed down the mirror behind him to prevent it from being used. Strike came at Kuuga-Titan and the two Riders engaged in a sword fight. Kuuga-Titan was on the offensive this time, his strong two-handed sword style forcing Strike to be on the defensive.
The Cho Brothers turned their attention to Dragon Knight, Axe using his claws to swipe at the heroic Rider, who dodged but was being driven towards Spear who was in front of a mirror. The gazelle Rider grabbed Dragon Knight and held his arms behind his back, waiting for his brother to come in and finish their enemy off.
"We got you now, school boy," Spear mocked him. Just as Axe rushed towards Dragon Knight, he twisted to his side, making the tiger Rider accidentally hit his own brother, sending him through the mirror.
"No Albert!" Axe said in worry of his brother. Dragon Knight took the opportunity to knock the mirror down to prevent him from getting back.
"If my brother is hurt, you're going to pay!" Axe threatened.
"It's what he gets for his part in what happened to Chris," Dragon Knight countered.
"There's not much I don't like more than an evil Rider," Kuuga-Titan said as he swung with his sword upwards in order to disarm Strike, "Kamen Riders are supposed to protect others, not corrupt them."
"Aren't you idealistic," Strike mocked, then lunged to try to get at his staff but Kuuga-Titan slashed at the evil Rider's side, forcing him back into the final mirror in the room. He landed next to Spear, both evil Riders clutching their injured sides and only able to watch through the mirror to see what happened next.
Axe slashed at Dragon Knight several times, forcing him to the ground, but before he could deliver a finishing blow, Kuuga Titan blocked it with his sword and pushed the evil Rider away, then slashed hard at the claws breaking them.
"No! Wait!" Axe started to panic when Kuuga-Titan pointed his sword at his neck.
"Kuuga, I need to be the one to do this," Dragon Knight said to Kuuga-Titan, "There's no way a guy like him can be redeemed and if I realized that sooner, I wouldn't have lost my friend." Kuuga-Titan nodded and Dragon Knight inserted his most powerful card into his deck.
"Final Vent!" Dragredder appeared again and circled once around Dragon Knight who leapt up into the air and came down in a flying Rider Kick while Dragredder enhanced the attack with his fiery dragon breath and Axe was engulfed in a fiery explosion.
"No Danny!" Spear tried to get up to save his brother, but he was too injured to do anything but crawl towards the mirror.
"Albert…" Axe was on the ground, looking through the mirror at his brother, trying to reach towards him.
"Please not Danny!" Spear tried to move faster, but it only aggravated his side and he went from crawling to just laying on his belly while watching his brother fade away into the Advent Void, then the mirror turned black on the Ventara side, preventing anyone from using it again, "I've got to save him," Spear said, but Strike put his hand on his comrade's shoulder.
"Forget it, it's blocked off and it's too late anyways," Strike said.
"Let me go!" Spear smacked Strike's hand away and found a second wind to reach the blackened mirror, but it wouldn't give.
"Easy Albert. Xaviax doesn't want him Vented, remember?" Strike said reasonably.
"I don't care! He Vented my brother! I'm going to make him pay…both of them! The other one left him helpless to Dragon Knight's attack!" Spear said kneeling in front of the mirror and he started to sob. Strike reached for him again, but hesitated, feeling that his comrade needed a moment, he pulled back and silently walked away…

Tsukasa was riding down the street as fast as possible, determined to catch up with his friends. However he saw the glass in a building next to him ripple and two Mirror Monsters tumbled through as if they were just attacked. Tsukasa stopped and pulled up.
"Great, more of these pests," he muttered, dismounting from his bike but then was surprised when he saw someone else emerge from the mirror. It was a young woman with blonde hair going half-way down her back wearing all black and she was riding a white motorcycle. She stopped her bike and removed her helmet and Tsukasa noted that she was very attractive.
"Please allow me to help you. They need to be dealt with quickly," he greeted in a friendly tone.
"Who are you?" the blonde woman asked, drawing her Advent Deck in front of her.
"Just a passing through Kamen Rider," Tsukasa smiled softly, placing his DecaDriver in front of him, "Remember that!" The belt came out of his henshin device and wrapped around his waist and Tsukasa placed his henshin card inside.
"KAMEN RIDE: DECADE!"
As Tsukasa's henshin was finishing up, the young woman glared at him with fury, "So you're the one I was warned about. The Destroyer of Worlds: Decade!" She thrust her Advent Deck in front of her, white electricity surging from it, forming her belt, "Kamen Rider!" She inserted her Advent Deck into her belt which then spun like a turbine and a white energy sphere and slowly spinning energy rings surrounded her, changing her into Kamen Rider Siren, "Prepare to die!" she drew her rapier and got into a fencing pose.
