Mezool stood in Dai-Shocker's lab with Dr. Maki as he punched keys, activating the resurrection machine. He then turned to Mezool and said, "What I need for you to do is to place Kazari's broken Core Medals equal to however many you want to give up in the restoration pod with the Cell Medals in it." She looked at the broken Medals, then back up to the pod. She walked up to the pod and placed in six pieces, equal to three Core Medals. After doing so, Mezool walked back over to Dr. Maki and said, "Now what do I do with MY Core Medals?" He adjusted his glasses and pointed to an open canister connected to the resurrection chamber. She hesitated as she lifted her hand. After a few seconds of staring at her trembling hand, she forced it into her stomach, grabbing a head, arms, and leg Medal each. As she yanked them out, she wobbled to the floor and dropped them. Dr. Maki picked them up and placed them in the canister. Mezool watched his actions frame for frame as he closed the canister. She struggled up to the viewing window on the canister and took a good look at the Medals before Dr. Maki activated the resurrection process. Dr. Maki glanced at her and said, "You seem reluctant to do this." She shook her head and replied, "No. It's just the pain. I'm gonna do this for him." Dr. Maki nodded and pulled down a lever, initiating the process. The three Medals slowly dissolved into particles and traversed through the tubes connecting the canister and chamber. Kazari's Core Medals floated in the chamber as the Cell Medals swiveled around them. Mezool's dissolved Medals encased the broken Medals as the Cell Medals closed in on all of the Cell Medals. A blue flash came from the chamber, followed by a yellow flash. Mezool covered her eyes and Dr. Maki covered his doll's eyes. The flash subsided, cuing Dr. Maki to open the chamber. He shut the machine down and pressed a button, opening the chamber hatch. Smoke spilled from the bottom of the chamber as a foot stepped out. Mezool uncovered her eyes and widened them at the result of the process.
Later on that night, half of the heroes had fell asleep around Miu's mansion. There was definitely enough space for more people, she could run a business from out of her residence. She, however, was not in her room. She was, instead, out on the balcony with Kengo, Ryuusei, and Tomoko. Tomoko spoke, "That moon is beautiful." Ryuusei looked at her and smiled, "It comes nowhere near YOUR beauty." Tomoko became immediately flustered at Ryuusei's words. She stammered, "W-well… I… I don't know about that." Kengo and Miu smiled at her reaction. Ryuusei wrapped his arm around her, forgetting about his wounds. Her shoulder put pressure on his ribs where he took the shrapnel. He winced slightly, but it was still enough for Tomoko to notice. She looked up at him and said, "What's wrong?" Ryuusei grinned and said, "Nothing. Just a little chill down my spine. I don't normally express myself like this, so I'm a little nervous." Miu whispered in Kengo's ear, "Good cover." Kengo nodded and continued to watch the situation unfold. Ryuusei now knew that Tomoko's senses are sharper than even his. He would now either have to stay on his toes or come out and tell her about the incident. Though his situation wasn't as dire as Kengo's, he still didn't want Tomoko to worry. He looked at her innocent face and smiled, "I'm the luckiest guy in existence right now." Kengo immediately intervened, "Sorry, man, you're the second luckiest." Ryuusei looked at Kengo with competitive eyes and said, "I don't think you wanna bite off more than you can chew, buddy." Kengo wrapped his arms around Miu and pulled her close, "You can't handle us." Miu smiled and said, "You two got nothin' on us." Ryuusei kissed Tomoko on the cheek, making her face illuminate in the night. Kengo spoke, "That's cute…" and Miu finished his thought, "… But that's ALL that is." She wrapped her leg around Kengo's as he dipped her and planted kisses from her lips down her neck. Ryuusei raised his eyebrows and Tomoko widened her eyes. Kengo lifted Miu back up. She giggled and said, "You're such a STUD, Kengo!" Kengo chuckled and said, "I don't even know where that came from." Ryuusei bowed his head and said, "I concede defeat this once. We're new, so we have limits right now." Tomoko attached herself to Ryuusei's arm and sheepishly nodded. Kengo took a knee, worrying the others. Miu knelt down next to him and asked, "What's wrong? Are you okay?" He looked at her and said, "Just tired." Ryuusei responded, "Today WAS eventful." Tomoko peered at Kengo and barely sensed his cosmic energy. She immediately spoke up, "We should get some rest. Especially you, Kengo. You went through a lot." Kengo nodded as Miu helped him stand up.
They reached the top of the main steps and went in opposite directions, bidding each other adieu. Ryuusei looked at Tomoko and asked, "Wait, are we in the same room?" Tomoko's eyes widened again as she stammered, "W-well, i-if you want…" Ryuusei responded, "No!" Disappointment fell on her face as he corrected himself, "W-what I meant to say was, uh, I wanted to respect your personal space." Tomoko gazed up at him with renewed hope in her eyes. Ryuusei placed his hands on her hips and replied, "Then we CAN share a room. It'd be a little weird…" She further dropped her hopes. Ryuusei took a deep breath and continued, "AT FIRST. It'd be a little weird at first, but we can sleep together. No problems." Tomoko finally spoke, "You don't have to force it, Ryuusei-san." He looked at her and said, "It's not that it's bad…" Tomoko smiled and finished his thought, "It's just too fast." Ryuusei nodded and smiled back. She grabbed his hands and said, "We'll place futons next to each other and take it slow." Ryuusei replied, "That'd be perfect for now." She lightly tugged his arms as they playfully continued down the hallway to their room. Meanwhile, in Miu's room, Kengo slipped into pajamas and sat on the bed next to Miu. She looked at his face and noticed the bags forming under his eyes. She then sat back against the headboard and called her boyfriend. He exhaled and said, "Not tonight. I'm way too tired to go a round." She smirked, tilted her head, and said, "I'm not that kind of girl, you pervert. Come here." He looked back at her as she tapped her thigh, indicating that she wanted him to lay on her lap. He awkwardly nodded and said, "Of course. Sorry about that." He crawled up to her and placed his head down on her lap. Miu began stroking his hair, parting it from his face. Being with her made Kengo forget about his worries as he drifted off to sleep, Miu softly petting his head. She may not have been a Kamen Rider like Erika or Natsumi, but she knew Kengo would fall apart without her. This made her content with being his girlfriend.
Meanwhile, downstairs with the others that were still awake, Shun played Go Fish with Yuki, Haruto, and Yuusuke. Gentaro and JK stared at Shun half-heartedly due to the fact that he had a poker face for a game of Go Fish. Unfortunately for him, Yuki's facial expressions surpassed even HIS poker face. Haruto's eyes shifted amongst the other players as he made his call, "Someone here has the four of spades." Yuki immediately shook her head and said, "I don't." Shun placed his cards down and folded his arms, smirking about his safety. Yuusuke scratched his head and said, "You were close, Haruto-kun. REALLY close. Now draw." Haruto sighed and drew a card, the queen of diamonds. This wasn't a card he needed, so he let out a long-drawn, "Moouuuu!" Yuki grinned at his gesture while JK snickered and Gentaro shook his head with disappointment. Now it was Shun's turn. He leaned forward and said, "I request that queen of diamonds you just drew, Haruto." Haruto's face twisted as he handed the card to Shun. Yuusuke chuckled and said, "Even though I'M not winning either, you're bombing pretty hard, Haruto-kun. How often do you play card games?" Haruto looked down and quietly said, "Shut up." Shun patted him on the back, "It's okay, Haruto. We can't be best at everything. We can only be the best at what we're best at." Haruto placed his cards down and said, "You're right. And I'm best at eating plain sugar and vanquishing kaijin." Gentaro spoke up, "We'd make a move, but we're pretty understaffed right now. We need to wait for Decade to get back." Daiki stood up and walked over to the conversation, "If we could use our phones through time periods, we could track him. Then again, he'd probably dodge the question." Natsumi, who had just slipped into her futon, thought to herself, "Tsukasa-kun. He's probably goofing off right now…"
Tsukasa sneezed beyond the ages. A young girl holding a trumpet walked up to him and said, "Are you catching a cold?" Tsukasa shook his head and said, "Someone's talking about me." He had finally rounded up the remaining Riders. Ibuki folded his arms and walked up to Tsukasa, "I can understand why I am needed, but why would you also drag Akira along? She doesn't want to be a part of this." Akira spoke up, "I know I'm ready for this, so I decided to come along. I'll train along the way." Sasword stepped up and said, "No need to worry, sir. I stand on the pinnacle of training along the way. And my best friend, Ka-GA-mi, shall help me!" Kagami sighed heavily and said, "See, if this wasn't a critical situation, I would not be here." Sasword followed up, "He's correct. We would be at my mansion enjoying delicious food! Right, Ka-GA-mi?" Kagami sighed and walked away from the conversation.
Tsukasa finally answered Ibuki's question, "There are some people I know that can create additional henshin devices. Akkan can use one of them." Akira became irritated at the nickname Tsukasa bestowed upon her and reacted, "Who are you calling Akkan? I'm technically your sempai!" Just then, Daisuke strolled over to her and leaned over his guitar-shaped makeup case, "Now now, a lovely lady such as yourself shouldn't be frowning." He took a closer look at her and continued, "It's my civic duty to keep pretty women such as yourself-" He was cut off by a man carrying a violin lined with fur, "Hey now, you'll never win a woman's heart that way! You have to put forth more of an effort to make her comfortable. Take notes, kouhai." The man picked up another girl's hand and said, "It's a pleasure to meet you." Before he could kiss her hand, he noticed her ring finger had a wedding band on it. As he slowly glanced up at her, he noticed her husband standing directly behind her. She replied to him, "I appreciate the gesture, but I'm taken." The man stepped out and wrapped his fingers around a fist-like device, punching his palm with it, throwing his arm out, and finally bringing it to his chest. The girl responded, "Yeah, Nago-kun can get a little defensive." Nago stumbled from her gesture and said, "Megumi, we're married. You don't have to call me Nago-kun."
A frail-looking man ran up and pulled the violinist away, "Dad, stop it! We're here to help, not make enemies." The man responded, "Wataru, you have to sometimes learn to be a man and stand up for yourself." He handed his violin to Wataru and rolled his sleeves up. Megumi looked at Wataru and asked, "He's your dad?" Wataru timidly nodded and said, "Sorry." Nago raised Ixa Knuckle up at his father as he looked at Wataru and said, "Kurenai Otoya. I will spare you the life God lent you if you stop hitting on my wife!" Daisuke laughed and finally spoke, "Yes, that's EXACTLY how it works!" Kagami walked up to Tsukasa and said, "Remind me again why we need all of these people." Tsukasa folded his arms and said, "Actually, I don't need any of you now." They all looked at him for an explanation. He continued, "Everyone here is destined to fail in this upcoming mission." Sasword stepped up and said, "If we're destined to fail, I'll stand on the pinnacle!" Everyone looked at him in silence. Tsukasa lightly inhaled, turned back to Kagami, and continued, "When you guys can learn why, I'll be back for you." He opened a portal and let it fall over him, carrying him back to Miu's mansion. Kagami exclaimed, "OI?! HOW ARE WE SUPPOSED TO GET BACK HOME?!"
Tsukasa stepped through the portal that opened in the main room. Gentaro looked at him and spoke, "Decade, you're back." Natsumi immediately sat up when she heard his name. JK looked behind him and asked, "So where are the others?" Tsukasa looked behind himself and said, "Yeah, I left them." Daiki scoffed and said, "The objective was to come back WITH your half of the roundup." Tsukasa nodded and said, "I know. They were butting heads. All of that noise would probably wake people up." Natsumi stood up and said, "I'M about to make a lot of noise if you don't get them!" Gentaro and JK motioned her to keep quiet. Tsukasa slid his hands into his jacket and said, "I can't yet. They have to learn to cooperate." "'Cooperate' HOW?" asked Yuusuke. Tsukasa sat on the couch and crossed his left leg over the right, "Too much inner-conflict. I told them that I'd be back when they learn to work together." Everyone looked at HIM in silence this time. He quickly caught on to the gesture and said, "I should've given some kind of prerequisite." He stood up and said, "I'll be right back." As he stepped back through the portal, Goto and Date came running into the main room. Everyone awake had stood up. Date grinned and said, "Showtime, guys." Haruto pointed at him and said, "HEY!" Goto spoke, "There's activity in the downtown area. A lot of activity." Yuki saluted and said, "JK and I will go gather everyone upstairs." She and JK then darted off. Shun gave his signature salute and said, "I'll rev up Powerdizer." Goto and Date began waking everyone downstairs up and explained the situation to them.
JK came to Miu's room and knocked on the door. After a few seconds, Miu came to the door in a pink nightgown. JK began his words, but then looked Miu up and down and said, "Lucky Kengo." Miu tilted her head and replied, "I'll take that as a compliment." JK jumped back on track, "Oh yeah! There's activity downtown. A LOT of it." Miu looked back at Kengo, who was still asleep. "I understand the situation we're in, but he needs his rest. He went through a lot today." JK replied, "I hear ya… Tell you what, I'll go get the okay for him to stay behind from Date-san and Goto-san." Miu smiled and said, "Thank you, JK." Yuki, Ryuusei, Tomoko, and Shotaro ran past JK and Miu. Yuki stopped by the door and said, "Kengo-kun, hurry up!" Miu and JK shushed her, but to no avail. Kengo slowly stirred awake and turned toward the door. "What?" As he pulled the cover from over himself, Miu quickly scuttled back to her bed and pulled the cover back over him, "Nothing, sweetie. They're just trying out a routine they just came up with. You can go back to sleep." He nodded and drifted back off to sleep after Miu kissed his forehead. JK placed his decorated finger over Yuki's lips and softly said, "Don't worry about Kengo. I'm gonna get permission from Goto-san to let him sleep off his fatigue." Yuki nodded and whispered, "Oh. Sorry, Kengo-kun!" She continued to follow behind the others as JK ran in the opposite direction. Miu quietly closed her door and leaned against it, "I love those guys to death, but they're a real handful sometimes."
Meanwhile, in the downtown area, Libra scanned for constellations from all of the people. He relayed the findings to Virgo, who would then pass the word on to the other Zodiarts. As for everyone who had no constellation, Dopants threw a Memory at each individual, force activating the device and turning the people into Dopants. The new Kazari, along with Uva, Gamel, Lost Ankh, and Dr. Maki, chucked Cell Medals at anyone they could, forcing their strongest desire out in the form of a Yummy. Sagittarius summoned Dustards to assist in the terrorizing of the area. Before one of the Zodiarts could attack a passerby, a blue meteor rained down on them. The kaijin looked at Meteor as he stood up and swiped his thumb across his faceplate, "I'll decide your fate." A few Zodiarts came at Meteor, which was a bad idea. He took his signature pose and let his voice be heard, "Woooo…" With every hit, he sounded off, "WHA! WHACHAA! HOOWACHAA!" In the distance, Fourze's voice rung from a rooftop, "LET'S SETTLE THIS MAN TO MAN!" In place of Drill Switch was Giant Foot. The giant foot stomped down on a general area of Dustards, crushing them instantly. Before he could hit the ground, he swapped Giant Foot for Board. He then surfed down the wall of a nearby building and slid onto the ground, knocking enemies over. Nadeshiko showed up onto the scene and did her girly impression of Fourze's pose. As she did so, she piped up, "KITAAA~!" Grunt kaijin attacked, but were no match for her cute fighting style. She avoided every attack that came at her as she took them down one by one. Another voice sounded off, "CONNECT, PLEASE!" "COPY, PLEASE!" Mana-infused bullets began to fall over the area. Wizard called off, "It's Showtime" and replaced the Fire Ring on his finger with Land Ring. As he jumped off the building, he swiped it across his Driver. "LAND, PLEASE! DO-DO-DO DO-DO-DON, DON DO-DO-DON!" Changing to his earth-based form, he landed on the ground and shook the area around him. This threw a crowd of enemies into the air. Another voice went off, "SIX! FALCO SABER STRIKE!" Beast's special attack flew through the aired enemies and destroyed them. Because they weren't magic-based kaijin, there was no mana to devour. Beast dropped into an Indian-seated position and scratched his head, "Where's the mana?! It's not lunchtime…"
Before the other kaijin could react, a yellow flash zipped through them. The flash followed up four more times before stopping in front of Kazari. OOO looked up at the feline Greeed and said, "For the sake of this world, I'll defeat you!" before kicking off of him. He then swapped Lion and Tora Medals for Taka and Gorilla. As the OOO Scanner slid across the belt, it registered the combo and sounded off, "TAKA! GORILLA! CHEETAH!" OOO sped toward Kazari and punched him with tremendous strength, sending Kazari into a wall. OOO then swapped Gorilla and Cheetah for Kujaku and Condor. "TAKA! KUJAKU! CONDOR! TA-JA-DORU~!" OOO brought flames to another group of kaijin. Some of the enemies just escaped the blast radius, but fell victim to Birth's Crane Arm and Birth Prototype's Drill Arm. ReBirth flipped over them both and dropkicked one of the Yummy. He then stood up and said, "Let me borrow Unagi!" Ankh scoffed and tossed the blue Medal to ReBirth. He slid it into ReBirth Driver and cranked the knob. As it sounded off, "UNAGI!", whips sprouted from ReBirth's arms. Birth and Birth Prototype unleashed a slew of Cell Medals upon the kaijin while ReBirth swung the whips at the stunned enemies one by one. Just then, another salvo curved towards a group of kaijin. W switched the Trigger Magnum to the right hand and pointed with the left, "Now, count up your sins." A Dopant charged at them with full force, but fell short to W's curved bullets. They then pulled out Luna and Trigger and inserted Cyclone and Joker, sounding off the Driver, "CYCLONE! JOKA!" Xtreme Memory railed itself onto the W Driver and activated itself. W then pulled themselves apart, revealing their core. They cut down a wave of Dopant with Prism Bicker before Philip's half spoke, "They seem to fall easier than before." Accel rode up, "It's probably due to them being products of replicas, they're weaker." W hopped onto Accel as Shotaro's half spoke, "Well let's not let this opportunity go to waste." Accel rode through a group of kaijin as W jousted any that were still standing.
Diend activated Ixa, Gatack, and Ryuga's Rider Cards and summoned them to fight as well. He then spoke up, "Without a world, there are no treasures to snatch. Have fun, boys." The summoned Riders made their way to the remaining kaijin. Kivala struck down a group of kaijin outside the general area where they were being spawned with Kuuga. He activated his Titan Form and grabbed a hold of his bike handle, creating Titan Sword. Kivala brought Kivala Saber to her chest and sprouted energy-based wings. She then extended her sword arm in a fencing pose and shouted, "SONIC STAB!" This enabled her to easily topple a row of enemies. Needless to say, Kuuga shouted out, "CALAMITY TITAN!" and impaled Dopants and Dustards. His attack blew holes through the kaijin. Ryuki and the other knight Riders jumped from the Mirror World to help wear enemy forces down. Blade, Garren, Chalice, and Leangle backed against each other, luring numerous grunt kaijin to surround them. Leangle joked, "Glad they aren't Darkroaches." Garren followed up, "Don't jinx this. We can do without them right now." "Regardless to what they may be, we must protect this world we love."
Blade spoke last, "Don't worry, Chalice. We won't fail in our mission, no matter how difficult it gets" and slid two cards through Blay Rouser, making it sound off, "KICK. THUNDER. LIGHTNING BLAST." Garren slid two cards through Garren Rouser, "DROP. FIRE. BURNING SMASH." Chalice ran two cards through Chalice Arrow, "CHOP. TORNADO. SPINNING WAVE." Leangle used two cards on Leangle Rouser, "BITE. BLIZZARD. BLIZZARD CRUSH." The four card-Riders unleashed their fury on the surrounding enemies and dropped them all at once. Ichigo yelled out, "RIDER JUMP!" Kaijin watched as he took to the skies and noticed Riderman atop a roof. He aimed his right arm at the kaijin, shouted, "NET ARM!" and launched a net upon a group of kaijin. Ichigo came back down and followed behind Riderman's initiative, "RIDER KICK!" His foot dropped on the netted enemies. X struck down Dopants and Zodiarts in a stand-alone way with Ridol. Noticing a small group of Yummy and Dustards rushing towards him, he pressed the L-Button on Ridol and activated Longpole-mode. He then vaulted over the group and pressed the H-Button, initiating Ridol Whip. From above, X slashed them down. The increased number of kaijin that were forcefully made thinned out drastically from the appearance of the Riders.
Seeing the once large army's numbers trickle down, the original resurrected enemies began to fall back. Zodiarts began to flee as well, but were stopped in their tracks by the tremendous force of Powerdizer. Shun gave his signature salute and said, "Can't forget about me!" Beast pointed at Powerdizer and looked at Wizard, "Who's that?" Shun easily trucked through the remaining enemies, generally Yummy. Tomoko and JK hung back with Burgermeal. Yuki contacted Miu and whispered through the phone, "No worries! We've handled the situation. JK and Tomoko are recording the battle." Miu let out a sigh and whispered back, "I'm glad he didn't have to go. Alright, I'm gonna hang up now but keep me updated if anything happens." Yuki responded, "Roger!" and ended the call.
While the fray was afoot, at Dai-Shocker's base, Kazu spoke with Great Leader, "Lord, we can go forward with our plan now. It's perfect timing." Great Leader nodded and said, "Yes, this would be good timing. Contact Kazari and have him implement the plan." Kazu bowed and left the room. As he walked down a hallway, he dropped his clipboard to the sight of who stood before him. Mezool was supporting the original Kazari as he walked. Kazu picked up his clipboard and said, "You should be dead." The two froze in their tracks. Kazari looked up at Kazu and replied, "What?" Kazu brought his hands behind his back and spoke, "Great Leader destroyed you. Everyone saw it." Kazari looked at Kazu in silence for a brief second before speaking, "Oh, you mean THAT time? He told me about that failure. I'm the copy. Mezool and I fled the scene because things got hairy." Mezool nodded and said, "OOO is stronger than he was when we last fought him." Kazu looked at them both and said, "Oh. Okay. Kazari, we have another assignment for you. You are to go and get the kid." Kazari smirked and gave him a thumb up. Kazu continued down the hallway. Mezool thought to herself, "Classic Kazari" and smirked as she assisted him down the hallway. As Kazu walked down the hallway, he came across Kazari in feline-form with the other Greeed. Kazari looked at him and said, "So things didn't go as planned. We DID create numerous forces, but they're pretty weak." Kazu immediately caught on to the situation and said, "As I thought. The fake Kazari has been revived! What differentiates the two is one of them has a blue eye and blue streak in their hair. The one I just passed was an imposter and he had an accomplice! Kazari, go forward with the plan to kidnap the Core Rider!" By the time everyone realized it, Kazari and Mezool had already escaped the base. Kazari took a knee behind a boulder, out of sight. He looked up at Mezool and said, "You didn't have to revive me, but you did it anyway. That's not very Greeed-like." Mezool came out and immediately said, "My greatest human desire is love. I felt it whenever I'm near you." Kazari kept quiet and let her finish her thought, "I think I love you, Kazari. I don't know if the desire is the same for you…" He corrected her, "Feelings, not desire. I think you're going human on me." She smirked and said, "That." Kazari stood up and kissed her. It caught her off guard as she stumbled back a little, but then accepted it. He leaned out of the kiss and said, "The feelings are mutual. Thanks for bringing me back." She smiled and said, "Anything for you." She looked around and said, "So what do we now?" Kazari also looked around and replied, "We can't go back there, ever. Your efforts would be in vain if we did. Guess we're on our own now."
