Level 7: Fury of the Dragon

"How does that new body feel?" Pallad asked playing on another handheld while Graphite arrived on the roof they were on in his new form.

"Interesting...so this is the power of a Proto Gashat?" Graphite asked reverting back to his human form smiling at the black Gashat in his hands. He smiled as Ken Ichijouji walked up to them.

"Well how are we this fine evening?" Ken asked giving a menacing grin before looking at the Proto Dragoknight Hunter Z Gashat in the Bugstar's hands. "I see you got my game back from those thieves. Although I must warn you, prolonged use of a Proto Gashat will destroy the user's body."

"It's fine, I've seen the power of these Gashats and I'm prepared to kill Ex-Aid and the other Kamen Riders."

"Interesting...but there's a flaw in your plan." Ken said making Pallad look up from his game while he grabbed the Gashat from Graphite's hands.

"The power of this Gashat at most...is Level 5. If the Kamen Riders find a way to surpass Level 5 or reach that level, you will find yourself at their mercy." Ken explained handing the Gashat back to Graphite before beginning to laugh maniacally. "Actually, it's not at their mercy. It's at the mercy of my genius!"

"What nonsense are you saying?"

"What I'm saying is, to finish work on a special project of mine...those Riders have to Level Up so I can use that data from their battles. I'm currently creating the complete version of this Gashat...when I finish, fight them."

"Why? So I lose?"

"Yes and no. Yes you will lose to them, but no to let them win...battle them with all your might and then from that data I will continue my work and create new Gashats." Ken said explaining his plan to Graphite making Pallad chuckle and stand up.

"Go along with it...this plan...it makes my heart dance."


"Huh?" Davis woke up in bed in the CR Quarantine looking around to see everyone from the CR around him making him smirk. "What's up?"

"Davis you collapsed." Director Ishida said as Davis stood up being helped by Kari and Yolei chuckling sheepishly.

"Don't worry I'm-"

"You have Game Disease. "Yolei said making Davis look at her in shock as all of them nodded. T.K. pointed at the monitor revealing small Pac-Men around Davis making him growl remembering what Zaizen had done.

"It was him..."

"Who?"

"Michihiko Zaizen." Davis said making Director Ishida look at him in surprise.

"Davis he's been dead for six years."

"No...he's Dr. Pac-Man."

"Davis that's a crazy accusation." Joe said making Davis shake his head before forcing himself out of the women's arms.

"I know what I saw. I'm gonna go find him."

"Davis relax." Tai said as he and Matt blocked his way shaking their heads. "We should forget about Pac-Man for now...we have bigger problems."

"Graphite's Leveled Up." T.K. said making Davis, Kari, Tai, Matt, and Joe look at him in surprise.

"He what?"

"He used one of Dr. Pac-Man's Gashats that they stole from Genm Corp and used it to Level Up."

"Then we have to!" Davis said making all the Riders in the room look at him in shock. "Whatever it takes, we have to Level Up."

"And how do you expect us to do that?" Matt asked making Davis reach for the blank Gashat from before with Tai noticing before they heard the elevator. They all turned to see Ken walking towards them holding a briefcase.

"Hello my friends. Davis I'm glad to see you're doing well." Ken said patting Davis's shoulder before raising and opening the briefcase revealing a golden Gashat resembling a Dragon's head with the DragoKnight Hunter Z logo on it. "I bring a welcome home gift: the DragoKnight Hunter Z Gashat. Sadly it's blank as the data for it currently resides inside the stolen Proto Gashat. Beat Graphite and the secrets of this Gashat will be unlocked." Ken explained as Davis grabbed the Gashat before smiling at Ken.

"Thanks, but how do we draw him out?" Davis asked looking around making T.K. and Tai nod at each other. The two then began to walk out of the CR making Davis and Matt follow.

"We'll do it. He has an obsession with fighting us."


"So are you sure he'll be here?" Tai asked as he and T.K. were talking on a bridge over a river while the genius surgeon was playing on his phone waiting for Graphite. "What are you playing?"

"It's a new puzzle game: Oh My Puzzle. It was made by some guy named Koushiro Izumi." T.K. said continuing to play the game until Tai recognized the name making him smile.

"Koushiro Izumi?! He's our old pal from high school! Man, Izzy made that?" Tai said looking at the game until they heard footsteps headed their way from the tunnel at the end of the bridge. The two stood up and took out their Drivers seeing Graphite walking towards them. "Ready?"

"Always." T.K. said taking out his Taddle Quest Gashat as Tai took out his Bang Bang Shooting Gashat while Graphite took out the Proto DragoKnight Hunter Z Gashat.

TADDLE QUEST!

BANG BANG SHOOTING!

DRAGOKNIGHT HUNTER! Z!

"I think it's time I put you two down. For good." Graphite said putting the Gashat on his neck becoming his Level 5 Bugstar form. The two Doctors nodded at each other and put on their Drivers getting ready to transform.

"Henshin." The two said putting in their Gashats going into their Level 1 forms rather than jumping straight to Level 2 or 3.

GASHATTO!

LET'S GAME! SUPER GAME! ULTRA GAME! WHATCHA NAME?!

I'M A KAMEN RIDER!

The two then ran at Graphite who took out his staff and began to fight the two easily overpowering them. He delivered a hard punch to Brave who tried to block with his shield sending him flying backwards before kneeing Snipe in the gut and slashing him with his staff sending him to the floor as well. Right as they got up, the three turned to see a Train headed their way making them jump off the bridge to the ground below.

"Proceeding with Level 2!"

"Second Tactics!" Snipe and Brave opened their Drivers after jumping Leveling up to Level 2 as they neared the ground below as their weapons formed in their hands as well.

GACCHAN!

LEVEL UP!

BATTLE FOR THE ADVENTURE! BATTLE FOR THE FUTURE!

TADDLE QUEST!

BANG BA-BANG! BANG BA-BANG!

BANG BANG SHOOTING!

The three landed and the two Kamen Riders rushed at Graphite with Snipe firing on the Bugstar while Brave pressed the B button on his Gashacon Sword four times making it ignite. He then jumped over Snipe and slashed Graphite four times making him chuckle and grab the blade before slashing him several times with his staff. Graphite's staff then ignited as well as he launched another cross made of fire at Snipe who attempted to block it with blasts from his Gashacon Magnum but they were overpowered and sent Snipe backwards dropping his Gauge.

"Had enough?"

"Oh don't worry about us...Davis now!"

MIGHTY MIGHTY ACTION! X!

BAKUSOU BIKE!

"What?!" Graphite turned hearing a motorcycle seeing Ex-Aid on Lazer both in their Level 2 forms and was not only hit hard in the chest, but was slashed by the Gashacon Breaker in its sword form sending him to the ground making Ex-Aid laugh.

"Gotcha!"

"I've got allies too." Graphite said standing up. He snapped his fingers making a colossal robotic dragon appear from the DragoKnight Hunter Z logo and attack Ex-Aid and Lazer. Then suddenly Genm appeared as well firing at Lazer with his Bugvisor with Pallad watching from the bridge.

"This is really making my heart dance."

"Holy shit!" Snipe yelled dodging the dragon that flew right at him aiming his Gashacon Magnum in its sniper mode at the dragon firing a laser at its head making it dodge and shoot a fireball at him.

GIRI GIRI CHAMBARA!

"Third Gear!" Lazer quickly reverted back to his Level 1 form and put his Giri Giri Chambara Gashat inside his Driver and opened it back up going to Level 3 as Genm Level 2 charged at him.

GIRI! GIRI!

GIRI! GIRI! CHAMBARA!

Lazer jumped up and and slashed Genm on his back with his Gashacon Sparrow in its sickle mode making the black Ex-Aid fall to the ground and take out the Shakariki Sports Gashat.

SHAKARIKI SPORTS!

"Come on!" Lazer said getting ready to charge at Genm who closed his driver and reopened it Leveling up to Level 3.

MIGHTY JUMP! MIGHTY KICK!

MIGHTY ACTION! X!

A GACHA!

SHAKARIKI, SHAKARIKI, BAD, BAD! SHAKATTO! RIKITTO!

SHAKARIKI SPORTS!


"Davis help me find that thing's weak spot!" Brave and Ex-Aid were currently fighting the Dragon with Brave using the blocks from Mighty Action X as boosts to jump into the air and attack it. But each time he neared it, the Dragon swiped him with its tail sending him into the river below. "Davis? Where did you go?" Brave got up and looked around for Ex-Aid only to look up and see him riding the Dragon.

"Yeehaw! Heel boy!" Ex-Aid said hitting the back of its neck with his Gashacon Breaker in its mallet mode making it roar and fly up into the air making him fall to the ground as well. "Oh no!" Ex-Aid looked up to see the Dragon beginning to shoot a fireball at him making him grab a Metal Up item.

METAL UP!

"Look out below!" Ex-Aid said making Brave move out of the way as he crashed into the ground getting hit by the fireball. Luckily thanks to the item he got, nothing happened to his gauge leaving it the same as it was.

"Do we Level Up?" Brave asked as he ran up to Ex-Aid looking at the Dragon giving Ex-Aid an idea.

"Nope! Tai tag out with T.K!" Ex-Aid yelled making Snipe look at them and nod as Brave ran up to Graphite with his Gashacon Sword in Ice mode.

"Now what?" Snipe asked making Ex-Aid grab his Jet Combat Gashat and point at it.

"Use it. Deal with it in the sky while I deal with it down here." Ex-Aid replied as Snipe put in the Gashat jumping into the air closing and reopening the Driver.

BANG BA-BANG! BANG BA-BANG!

BANG BANG SHOOTING!

A GACHA!

JET! JET! IN THE SKY!

JET COMBAT!

"Now what?' Ex-Aid asked himself looking around seeing Snipe Level 3 fire on the Dragon, Brave slashing Graphite with his sword and being hit back by the Bugstar, and seeing Lazer fire arrows at Genm who was throwing his wheels at him. He looked at the Gold Gashat on his side and snapped his fingers getting an idea.


"So, care to show me who's under that helmet now?" Lazer asked getting ready to fire an arrow for his finisher at Genm who had his wheels glowing for his finisher.

"Over my dead body."

GIRI GIRI CRITICAL STRIKE!

SHAKARIKI CRITICAL STRIKE!

The two fired their finishers creating a giant golden and purple explosion sending Lazer and Genm flying reverting them back to their human forms. Luckily for Ken, he used the smoke as a cover to escape while Matt staggered up soaked from falling into the river.

"Dammit...he's gone..." Matt said looking around hoping to find Genm and looked up seeing Snipe firing barrage after barrage of bullets onto the Dragon making it roar and hit him with a fireball sending him crashing into the ground reverting back to Tai.


"How is this possible? You're only Level 2!" Graphite looked shocked as he and Brave were currently evenly matched as each of his attacks were countered by the Kamen Rider making him chuckle.

"It's called experience. You use the same fighting style constantly." Brave said switching the Gashacon Sword to fire mode. He began to slash the Bugstar repeatedly and when he tried to block with his staff, Brave swung down with his sword and broke the weapon in half smiling under his helmet. "There's nothing that I can't cut through. Time to end this." Brave switched his sword back to ice mode and took his Gashat out of his driver and put it in the back of his sword.

GASHATTO!

"Thank you!" Ex-Aid said grabbing the sword from Brave and turned his Gashacon Breaker into its sword mode putting his Gashat inside it.

GASHATTO!

"What the...Davis what are you doing?!" Brave and Graphite watched as Ex-Aid slashed the water with the Gashacon Sword making the water rise and freeze. He jumped on it using the ice path towards the Dragon that was diving at him while the two swords began to glow.

MIGHTY TADDLE CRITICAL FINISH!

"Take this!" Ex-Aid jumped off the ice and slashed the Dragon with the two swords destroying it and landed on the ground below giving Graphite a moment to escape. The four Kamen Riders watched as the pieces of the Dragon reformed a smaller dragon like the robots that turned the riders into their Level 3 forms and went into the Gold Gashat on Ex-Aid's side adding a dragon to the design on the side of the Gashat.

"Graphite's getting away!" Brave said seeing Graphite walking away making Ex-Aid look at the Gashat and activate it.

DRAGOKNIGHT HUNTER! Z!

GASHATTO!

"DAI-DAI-DAI-DAI-DAI HENSHIN!" Ex-Aid put the Gashat in his driver and opened it up making Pallad chuckle from the bridge above.

GACCHAN!

LEVEL UP!

MIGHTY JUMP! MIGHTY KICK!

MIGHTY MIGHTY ACTION! X!

A GACHA!

DO-DO-DRAGO! NA-NA-NA-KNIGHT! DRA-! DRA-!

DRAGOKNIGHT HUNTER! Z!

The small dragon reappeared and broke apart combining with Ex-Aid's armor giving him a black chestplate with a Dragon's head on his helmet, a two gauntlets on both of his arms with a blue blade on his right arm and a gun on his left, and braces on his legs making it resemble dragon legs and claws on his feet.

"Whoa that's so cool." Matt said watching the transformation in awe with Tai and Brave watching Ex-Aid aim his gun arm at Graphite readying to fire at him. But suddenly, Ex-Aid turned and fired at the three of them making them dodge by rolling out of the way. "Davis what're you doing?!" Matt's answer was a roar from Ex-Aid making him and Tai nod at each other and activate their Gashats as Brave did the same with his DoReMiFa Beat Gashat.

BANG BANG SHOOTING!

JET COMBAT!

BAKUSOU BIKE!

GIRI GIRI CHAMBARA!

DOREMIFA BEAT!

"Third Gear!"

"Third Tactics!"

"Proceeding with Level 3!"


"What's going on?" Director Ishida asked as he, Yolei, Joe, and Poppy were watching the battle between the three Kamen Riders and Ex-Aid in the CR. They watched as Snipe flew up into the air in his Level 3 form only to be shot down by Ex-Aid firing at his wings. Then they saw Lazer run at him with his Gashacon Sparrow in sickle mode only to be kicked repeatedly in the chest by Ex-Aid sending him sliding backwards. Finally it was Brave's turn, charging at Ex-Aid with his Gashacon Sword in fire mode and as his blade came down near Ex-Aid's back, the Kamen Rider blocked it with his blade and slashed Brave's chest repeatedly until he fell backwards into the river.

"Davis...what's wrong?" Poppy asked holding her hands together watching Ex-Aid roar in victory as the three riders ended their transformations covered in bruises and blood from the attacks. The four left to help the three fallen riders as Ex-Aid's roar shot a stream of fire into the air until he collapsed reverting back to Davis from the strain on his body.

Next Time:

"DragoKnight Hunter is a dangerous Gashat."

"That wasn't all the Gashat can do."

"We will eliminate Graphite and unmask the black Ex-Aid."

"Dr. Pac-Man's going after Izzy!"
