Last time on Academy Kamen Rider:
"Your forged signature has just handed me NEXT's research department on a silver platter, the very same research department that turned us all into Orphenochs... into dying monsters. To celebrate our takeover of NEXT, we felt as though you should share in our victory..."
"Meaning?"
"Meaning... let's see how you like the after-effects of a syringe..."
"We'll find Shiro and bring him back. I swear to you."
"Better, knowing you got that nasty piece of business out of the way. I'm happy you guys are still together... now Erik can focus on assignments for the time being."
"Just remember the Orphenochs and CycloneAccel Xtreme are still out there somewhere. We need to be ready in any case."
"That can't be good..." Rito thought to himself, stepping away from Ogami and rushing back to the door he just walked through. He wouldn't make it... as the gargantuan claw of the Elasmotherium Orphenoch blocked his path.
"Double Xtreme..."
Shiro descended upon Tanaka, but at the last minute Nobuya threw himself in the way, taking the full force of the attack and reverting to human form, knocked out on the ground. Tanaka was in shock as he tended to his student.
"Detective Williams... I'm sending you this emergency message. I don't have much time..."
-xxx-
Academy Kamen Rider: Term 2.
Chapter 9: Standoff Pt.2.
"Nobuya-kun... hold on." Tanaka muttered as he led the fading Nobuya into the IXA dorm medical wards. The medical team took him to where Tanaka couldn't follow, and as Tanaka lost sight of Nobuya's ailing body, he pressed his fist hard against the wall before he punched it, cracking the wall and bloodying his fist.
"Yo, where's the fire, professor?"
"Griffin. Run of the mill Rider training gone bad. Nobuya's hurt." Tanaka lied, hoping Puppy wouldn't find out the truth. Unfortunately, it didn't work.
"C'mon, professor, you know me better than that... Nobuya's hurt because of what happened at the NEXT island, isn't he?" Puppy said. Tanaka sighed and buried his face in his hand, unhappy he had almost gotten Nobuya killed.
"I thought... I thought that with a small strike team we could get in, save Shiro and then get out. As soon as we lost contact with Inukaze-kun, everything went to Hell." Tanaka explained.
Puppy placed his hand on Tanaka's shoulder: "Putting students' lives in danger usually results in contract termination, sir... but I know you had good intentions, so I'm going to keep my mouth shut."
Tanaka sighed again: "And this happened because I didn't think I could trust Caine-kun with this."
"You don't know what he's been through... Erik's tough, sir. Markus Frantz, Kiva the First, the Brotherhood: taking a chance on him and his friends isn't so bad. In fact, give me the rest of the hour. I have an idea." Puppy explained, beginning to walk away with Dogmott running right after him.
"What is it?" Tanaka wondered.
"Trust me." Puppy responded, walking off. He passed down a few halls until he reached the IXA dorm workshop.
"Dogmott, recall diagnostic check: when was Yaiva Mark-One upgraded to Mark-Two software?" Puppy asked his sentient partner while placing a toolbox on the workshop table.
"Recalling installation entry: two years, seven weeks and three days ago, following the Arms Dopant incident and subsequent match with Kamen Rider Kagemarou following Mark-One software failure. This unit was rendered inoperable for two days following, right before the installation to superior Mark-Two software." Dogmott answered.
Puppy opened the toolbox: "Good thing those two days were a weekend. Dogmott, prepare unit for software upgrade. We're going to Mark-Three."
"I recommend shutdown of all systems before you commence the upgrade, Master. Failed installation could institute failed systems."
"Don't you think I know that, Dogmott? Let's just hope your integration receptors are up to task." Puppy responded, getting to work.

"Yo." Eddie called out to the green-eyed slim IXA dormer.
"You must be Eddie. I'm Misaki Kotonoha... you said my uncle was in trouble? What, did he fire someone?" The girl asked. Eddie realised that she did seem a bit dim, but nonetheless continued on.
"No, nothing like that... he's in danger. NEXT, his company, was bought out this morning. The people who bought him out were the Orphenochs, who we're currently fighting. They're led by Gyro, the Wolf Orphenoch. He has others captive as well. It's your uncle... so let's do this your way." Eddie offered.
Misaki shook her head: "I'm no good with the plans. I wouldn't know what to do in the NEXT building... uncle Sho only took me in there once."
Eddie sighed: "Right... just follow my lead. I'll think of something. Get on your motorcycle and we'll go."
-xxx-
"Students of Academy Kamen Rider and residents of Hongo Island... this is new CEO of NEXT Incorporated, Doctor Takuma Gyro. Due to circumstances out of his control, Dr. Shotarou Ogami has been forced to take an early retirement. Now, NEXT is by no means through with its evaluation of the Riders on this island... no, in fact, NEXT is searching for suitable candidates to participate in our experiment into human evolution. Keep in mind that these tests are not optional..."
On the screens around the Academy and on the students' PDAs, Gyro's face transformed into that of the Wolf Orphenoch as he slammed his claw on the table.
"...they are mandatory and WE DEMAND THEM! Now many of you are thinking of resistance... but what you don't know is that NEXT security is filtering out throughout your precious academy to enforce candidacy!"
Sure enough, uniformed officers with pistols began flooding into the classrooms, taking unsuspecting professors and students hostage. Advent Riders used the Mirror World as their haven from the madness, while some students still resisted. In Mecha class, Toby & Erik were working on something when the officers arrived. Using his quick thinking to his advantage, Erik flipped himself and Toby over their desk, ducking under one table and then overturning another to use as a guard as they headed for the door.
"We have to move faster! YuKivat!" Erik called as the two friends zoomed down the hallways.
Biting!
Toby loaded up the Garren Buckle and flipped it while Erik attached YuKivat to the YuKivat Belt.
Turn Up!
Taking a chance, Erik & Toby crashed their way through one of the hallway windows, hitting the floor below in their plan to get away. Toby withdrew the Garren Rouser as more officers gave chase, taking them down whenever he saw an opening. The two eventually made it far from the academy, with officers scrambling to find them both and contain them. Erik sighed with relief when suddenly, a hand pulled him behind a tree. Toby followed and aimed his Garren Rouser, finding Professor Tanaka holding Erik.
"Professor!" Toby exclaimed. Tanaka released his grip on Erik, who stepped backwards.
"What do you want? I thought you said you didn't want us involved in your business!" Erik remembered.
Tanaka shook his head: "Trying to keep you safe from my business is no longer a good idea. The Orphenochs have this island in a vicegrip and its only a matter of time before they target the top student. That'd be you. I'm here to ask for your help."
"What kind of help?" Erik asked.
Tanaka sighed: "Me, Dori Nobuya & Rito Inukaze embarked on a mission to get Shiro Ryozaki free from Orphenoch control. Rito's distraction failed and he was captured. Shiro came after us and injured Nobuya with the Xtreme Maximum Drive. The Orphenochs have control of NEXT and are sending their minions to take over the island, as you well know. I need you to help me break everyone out and stop this threat."
Erik nodded: "Okay. We'll get over there and save who we have to. Then Gyro's head is on the chopping block!"
-xxx-
"Let's go!" Eddie encouraged. He & Misaki scoured the entire building, kicking in every door they could, looking for Dr. Ogami and/or Rito. Taking the Stag Phone he borrowed from Raz, Eddie plugged in the tool's Giji Memory and set it loose, hoping their search would come up trumps.
The two searched from top to bottom. Eventually, they both came to a large, darkened room, with nothing but dim headlights on. Eddie looked around, and saw that Rito was chained to the back wall, unconscious. Eddie nodded, with him and Misaki running for Rito.
Then suddenly, the lights illuminated the entire room and Eddie & Misaki found themselves having to dive over to the side at the last minute, almost being crushed by the Elasmotherium Orphenoch's gigantic claw.
"You okay?" Eddie asked.
Misaki nodded: "I'm fine."
"Right, I don't know how we're going to fight that thing, but I'm damn sure going to try!" Eddie said, inserting the Skull Memory into his Lost Driver and forcing the terminal over.
Skull!
Transforming into Skull, Eddie began moving himself around the room, firing shots from the Skull Magnum as much as he could. The Stag Phone flew in and attacked the Orphenoch's hind legs before attaching itself to the Skull Magnum. Eddie plugged in the Skull Memory and switched the weapon to Maximum Mode.
Skull! Maximum Drive!
"Skull Stag Launcher!" Eddie called, firing a continuous stream of energy at the Orphenoch's legs. It seemed to be getting through, but then Eddie was blindsided out of nowhere by the Wolf Orphenoch.
"I don't think so, Skull... we have unfinished business, you and I." Gyro proclaimed, jumping at Eddie and scratching his hat off. Eddie was unable to defend himself against Gyro's assault. Gyro sidekicked Eddie onto his back, preparing the Elasmotherium Orphenoch to stomp the Kamen Rider to death, but shots from Misaki's Lambda Phone in Gun mode prevented it.
"I want my uncle back. You're in my way." Misaki declared, switching the phone back to Phone mode. She hit 'ENTER' after punching in her code, tossing the Phone in the air before she strapped the Lambda Driver to her waist.
Standing By!
"Henshin." Misaki commanded, catching the Lambda Phone and connecting it to the Driver.
Complete!
Misaki transformed into Kamen Rider Lambda. She retrieved the Lambda Mission Memory keycard from her belt and plugged it into the Lambda Shot camera in her hand, transforming it into a knuckle duster weapon, much like Faiz. She rolled under a swipe of the gargantuan Orphenoch's claw and punched forward with the Lambda Shot, releasing a small energy discharge at the Orphenoch's leg. She then returned the keycard to the Phone and dialled in 1-6-1-8.
Auto Crasher, Come Closer!
Her version of Faiz's Autovajin flew into the room and began shooting at the Orphenoch itself, ejecting its handlebars down to Misaki's hand, where it transformed into a double-edge lightsaber-type weapon.
Meanwhile, Eddie & Gyro continued their fight. Gyro withdrew two Orphenoch Swords. Eddie slowly met Gyro at the center and clashed his fists with the Orphenoch Swords. Soon, both were hopping around the place, trying to impede the other with sneaky tactics. Eddie raised the Skull Magnum, faking out and then booting Gyro in the head, sending him crashing down to the ground.
Eddie followed, cracking his free fist on the ground just short of Gyro's chest as he crashed. Eddie tried to strike Gyro again, but Gyro sneakily slashed Eddie away with one sword and followed it up with a roundhouse kick that sent Eddie rolling over.
-xxx-
"Damn, where did Eddie go? Convenient that the Orphenochs have declared their war and he's disappeared without telling me where he's going. Oh well..." Raz sighed, taking out the Bat Shot camera from his jacket. "...looks like some recon work is in order."
Bat!
Raz plugged the Bat Memory into the camera, causing it to shapeshift into its Live Mode. The would-be detective sighed again, hoping his partner would be found soon. But he had a bigger problem on his hands... Shiro had found him. Raz took a careful look and noticed Shiro's eyes were glazed over into a crystal color. Saying nothing, Shiro brought his Xtreme Memory-equipped Double Driver copy to his waist and then parted the terminals.
Xtreme!
Shiro transformed once more into Kamen Rider Double CycloneAccel Xtreme, armed with both the PrismBicker and Rito's Engine Blade. The Engine Blade's presence worried Raz: something had happened to Rito.
"I don't really want to fight you, Shiro... but you're probably going to leave me no choice, huh? So be it." Raz said, strapping his own Double Driver to his waist.
"Henshin."
Cyclone! Joker!
Raz became Double CycloneJoker and jumped in with a big cyclonic punch, but the contact immediately sent Raz crashing away. Shiro had not moved an inch. Shiro took the stolen Accel Memory in hand and inserted it into the Maximum Slot. He also hit the trigger of the Engine Blade.
Accel! Maximum Drive!
Engine! Maximum Drive!
"Accel... Full Break..." Shiro droned, leaping at Raz with an Accel Glanzer-like attack before brutally slashing downwards. Raz staggered back, feeling his Double Driver's power failing. Shiro then dumped the PrismBicker and the Engine Blade at his sides before he closed up the Xtreme Memory, quickly opening it again.
Xtreme! Maximum Drive!
"Double Xtreme!"
Shiro crushed Raz into the ground and flipped away. Raz's transformation was cancelled and his Gaia Memories littered the floor. The detective gingerly managed to retake the Joker, Metal & Trigger Memories, but an Orphenoch stamped on Raz's wrist and took the Cyclone, Luna & Heat Memories, handing them to Shiro.
"RAZ!"
Raz turned his head to see Dax & Phil come riding in on Finale, their United Contract Beast. Phil jumped off and clashed his Arach Saber against Shiro's Engine Blade. Dax jumped off too and Amanda came running to help Raz to his feet.
"We promised your brother Kenzaki we'd get you back! And I'm keeping this promise!" Phil yelled, batting the PrismBicker upwards and planting a thrust kick to Shiro's gut. Phil then springboarded and double-boot dropkicked Shiro in the helmet. Angrily, Shiro tossed the Engine Blade aside and withdrew the Prism Sword from the Bicker Shield.
Meanwhile, the Orphenochs surrounded Dax, Amanda & Raz, looking to swarm them, but Dax wasn't going to go down without a fight. Taking the Emerald Visor-Zwei in hands, Dax unleashed his fury in a torrent of firepower that incinerated the Orphenochs to sand. Any remaining were completely obliterated by Amanda's variation of the Royal Straight Flush.
Phil was actually doing the improbable: he was actually beating Shiro... but to him, it was too easy. And Shiro proved it, resheathing the Prism Sword in the Bicker Shield, revealing Raz's stolen Memories. One-by-one, he plugged them into the PrismBicker's memory terminals along with the Accel Memory.
Cyclone! Maximum Drive!
Heat! Maximum Drive!
Luna! Maximum Drive!
Accel! Maximum Drive!
Shiro clicked the panel as his prismatic shield energised with the linked powers of the four Gaia Memories attached to it.
"Bicker... Final Illusion..."
Phil tried to get away, but found himself caught up in the blast of the Bicker Final Illusion. He burned up back into his human form and Finale de-merged back into Gargonizer & Arachnu. Suddenly, as Dax & Amanda tended to their injured friends, the PrismBicker flared up again: the Maximum Drives had been activated once more. Shiro flicked the Bicker Shield's panel again and withdrew the Prism Sword, attempting the Bicker Charge Break attack. Shiro charged for the four Riders, but he couldn't see what was coming next.
Full Charge!
A large red blade struck him square in the Xtreme helmet's eye, cancelling his attack. The blade promptly returned to the end of the Savage Gasher, wielded by Kamen Rider Yu-Ki Skull Form.
"Shiro-niisan... I won't let you destroy yourself." A familiar voice vowed: it was Kenzaki. Dual-wielding the Savage Gasher and the RyuGun, Kenzaki went on the attack, kicking his Rider Pass in front of the SetTouch, setting off the Full Charge again. But Shiro had it scouted, blocking Kenzaki's attack with the Bicker Shield and swiping the Maximum Drive-powered Prism Sword across Kenzaki's gut. The armor pierced and blood streamed down Kenzaki's chest.
Prism! Maximum Drive!
The others despaired as Kenzaki's body hit the ground with a thud. Kenzaki reached down to try and stabilize his wounds as Shiro began to walk away, retrieving the Engine Blade.
-xxx-
"Dammit!" Puppy cursed as Dogmott sparked up. He continued to click his laptop computer's mouse with gritted teeth in an attempt to update Dogmott's unit software. He connected USB ports from the laptop to Dogmott and also to a golden device he had to the side of them both.
SYSTEM UPDATE COMMENCING...
Puppy watched intently, hoping the update wouldn't kill his partner's systems.
-xxx-
Raz & Phil both saw Kenzaki's withering body and launched to their feet, angered by Shiro's assault.
"Fang!" Raz called out. The Fang Memory flipped itself to his hand before Raz flipped the Memory out.
Fang!
Phil thrust the Spider Vent Deck in front of him, summoning the V-Buckle to his waist.
"Henshin!"
"Henshin!"
Fang! Joker!
Double FangJoker & Spider jumped over Kenzaki's ailing body and attempted to restrain Shiro. Raz was knocked away and Phil was punched backwards.
"Right, to hell with the consequences!" Raz growled, pulling the Joker Memory from its terminal and plugging it into the Maximum Slot.
Joker! Maximum Drive!
He then pulled out the Trigger Magnum and loaded it with the Trigger Memory.
Trigger! Maximum Drive!
Raz tossed the Trigger Magnum into the air after changing it to Maximum Mode, pulling out the Metal Shaft. Raz placed the Metal Memory in the Metal Shaft's Maximum Slot.
Metal! Maximum Drive!
He tossed the Shaft after the Magnum into the air and pushed on the Fang Memory's horn three times.
Fang! Maximum Drive!
"Right, whatever I'm going to do, I better do fast!" Raz thought to himself as he caught both his weapons and leapt at Shiro with reckless abandon. First, he overcame Shiro with a hail of gunfire from the Trigger Magnum. Raz then tossed the Magnum aside, crashing into Shiro's chest with the Metal Shaft. He then tossed the Shaft aside, taking to the air in a hybrid of his Fang Strider and Joker Extreme attacks.
"Rider Quadruple Maximum: Overload Break!" Raz cried out in pain as the Memories in the Double Driver proceeded to overload his body. He managed to hang on long enough to crush Shiro into the ground with the attack. Shiro didn't move. Raz stumbled back and then collapsed back into his human form. Dax & Phil helped him up, with Amanda taking up the rear.
"Hey!"
A NEXT security officer was on the scene, armed with a pistol pointed straight at Raz and the others. He pulled the trigger several times... but his bullets wouldn't reach their targets.
"Shiro?" Amanda wondered, as CycloneAccel Xtreme had placed himself in the way of the bullets. Without saying anything more, Shiro flicked the panel on the PrismBicker and incinerated the security officer with the Bicker Final Illusion. He then closed up the Xtreme Memory and pulled it out of the Double Driver, reverting to human form. He looked at the others and then turned to his younger brother, rushing to his side.
"Kenzaki-niisan..." Shiro said.
Kenzaki's eyes barely flickered open: "Shiro-niisan?"
"I'm alive, niisan. Don't worry... the Orphenochs have no control over me anymore." Shiro replied, hoping Kenzaki would stay alive.
Kenzaki faintly smiled: "Good... I'm glad..."
"We'll get him to medical, Shiro." Phil told him.
Shiro huffed: "Hmph! Isn't this a surprise... wouldn't think you'd ever help me, Spider."
Phil shook his head: "I didn't do it for you... I did it for him."
"I guess there's a first for everything... Hybrid, take this." Shiro said, handing Raz the Xtreme Memory and also returning Raz's other Memories, along with Rito's Accel Memory. "I'm guessing you'll get much more use out of it than I will."
He then ripped the Double Driver copy from his waist and stomped it until it was nothing but nuts and bolts.
-xxx-
"You can't beat me, Skull." Gyro taunted, deadlocking with Eddie while Misaki tried to slow her gigantic opponent.
"I did once... and I will again!" Eddie responded.
"What did you tell Ogami's niece, Skull? That her uncle is now a monstrous threat to your precious academy?" Gyro yelled, causing Misaki to look at him in shock.
"Misaki, he needs to be stopped!" Eddie tried to reason with the girl, but this gave Gyro an opportunity to thrust dropkick Eddie in the gut, sending him flying near a petrified Misaki's boots.
"Why didn't you tell me?" Misaki shouted.
"Because your uncle requested that I didn't!" Eddie yelled back. Behind him, Gyro picked up the idle Skull Magnum from the floor and jammed it into the back of Eddie's head, preparing to pierce Eddie's skull with a bullet from the weapon.
Suddenly, the cavalry came: the YuseiRunner, the Red Rhombus and the Machine Lightcader burst in through the doors, with Erik, Toby & Tanaka promptly stepping off. Ziggy flew in and ripped the Skull Magnum out of Gyro's claw before Negataros blindsided the Wolf Orphenoch with the Negatarosword.
"Close... but not close enough, Kamen Riders!" Gyro concluded, using his leaping ability to hop to the balcony, escaping the room for the moment. While that went on, Tanaka pulled a Final Form Ride card from the Lightbooker.
"Caine-kun... let's go!" Tanaka encouraged, loading up the Lightdriver.
Final Form Ride: Yusei!
Tanaka flipped Erik around and shapeshifted the student into a crossbow-type weapon known as the Yusei Crossbow, much in the style of the Kivat Arrow.
Final Attack Ride: Yusei!
"Decade Biting!" Tanaka & Erik commanded together, shooting point blank range at the target, causing an explosion to engulf everyone within range, but with Yusei and Light Decade walking out of the flames unscathed. Eddie & Misaki managed to brave the flames, with the Elasmotherium Orphenoch weakened and losing sand fast. Eddie looked at Misaki.
"Its your uncle... what happens is up to you." Eddie told her. Misaki nodded and flipped her phone open, hitting 'ENTER'.
Exceed Charge!
Misaki jumped into the sky, her dimension spike hitting the Orphenoch's weak point. She soared through it and reduced the Elasmotherium Orphenoch to nothing but sand. She couldn't help but feel low after she had essentially just killed off her own uncle.
-xxx-
"Dammit... everything's gone to Hell! Where the heck are Draig & Taurin?" Gyro cursed to himself as he hopped his way towards the academy. He soon found himself face-to-face with Puppy, who had a fully-functional Dogmott by his side. Gyro shifted to his more evolved form, but it didn't intimidate nor impress Puppy in the slightest.
"What you don't know, Gyro, is that you Orphenochs aren't the only ones with upgrades. You can spike yourselves up Ultimate Kuuga-style if you want to, but it doesn't make you any more of a badass. Now since everybody else is dealing with your failing takeover, I guess that leaves me with you. Gyro... you ain't seen nothing yet. Dogmott!" Puppy declared, bringing his mechanical canine companion to his side. Dogmott leapt into his Yaibuckle form and strapped himself around Puppy's waist. Puppy turned the Slash Buster upside down and inserted it into the slot.
"Henshin."
Shizuka ni sora ni kaeru anata no sugata wo
What else can I do besides avenge you?
Namida ga kareru made zutto mitsumeteita
Afureru kanashimi wa kesenai kizuato ni
Wasure wa shinai to chikatta
Puppy dragged the Yaibuckle from his side to the center of his waist, pulling the Slash Buster with its blade from the buckle.
Yaiva Mark-Two, Activate!
Puppy once again transformed into Kamen Rider Yaiva, holding the Slash Buster ready for a mega-brawl with the leader of the Orphenochs. Gyro immediately mutated into the Wolf Orphenoch, taking the initiative. He rolled in under the Slash Buster and kicked Puppy in the side. Puppy sideswiped with the weapon, but faked it and slashed Gyro at the exact point Gyro tried to dodge.
Oreta tsubasa wo habatakase subete wo keshite miseyou
Itsu no hi ka owari wo mukaeru saigo no kane ga nari yamu made
You told me
Live as if you were to die tomorrow
Feel as if you were to be reborn now
Face as if you were to live forever
Using his samurai techniques, Puppy shadowed across the battleground, eventually just becoming a blur to even the Orphenoch's advanced senses. With Gyro not knowing where he would strike, Puppy reappeared behind the beast and unloaded a pair of strikes to the back followed by a straight kick to the back of the head. Gyro stumbled and rolled forward to avoid hurting himself worse.
"Son of a bitch." Gyro cursed.
Puppy smirked under his helmet: "I love it when you talk dirty."
Furueru yubi de akai namida wo nazotta
I had nothing to lose, nothing truth
Hakanai omoide ga yami ni ochite yuku
Saigo no hohoemi ga ukande wa kieru
Nukumori dake wo nokoshite
This enraged Gyro even more, causing him to charge for Puppy. Puppy nonchalantly sidestepped it and spun into a slash that knocked Gyro over. Not wasting time, Puppy moved in for a flying sidekick that sent Gyro rolling back onto his neck.
"NO MORE GAMES!" Gyro roared, using his superspeed to get the advantage away from Puppy, scratching and clawing at the academy prefect anytime he could. He capped the assault off by standing on Puppy's shoulders and mule-kicking him in the back of the head. Puppy rolled forward, the Slash Buster stabbing in the ground by him.
"Master, I recommend upgrading to Mark-Three software. The Mark-Two software's workload capacity is being exceeded by this fight." Dogmott suggested.
Puppy was apprehensive: "Are you sure you can handle it? Upgrading you almost shut you down."
"I have erected additional firewalls and antivirus software has been installed. This unit is ready to block any harmful data packets from getting through." Dogmott said, reassuring the academy veteran. Puppy nodded, resetting the Yaibuckle at his side. He reached into the secret compartment of the belt at the other side and pulled out the golden device from earlier he had named the Vangarder. He flipped it open and hit the red button.
Standby!
He slotted it into the Yaibuckle and clamped the handles down over the buckle, causing it to turn gold.
Yaiva Mark-Three, Activate: Vanguard Mode, Active!
Puppy dragged the buckle back to the center of his waist, causing it to energise. The Yaiva armor enhanced, gaining additional armor on the arms and legs, the chest pattern changing and the helmet gaining samurai-like kabuto horns. The eyes changed from red to blue. Puppy was now Kamen Rider Yaiva Vanguard Mode. Puppy charged in from one side, and Gyro from the other.
Yasashii dake no kotoba nara ima no boku wa iyasenai
Hateshinaku tsudzuku tatakai ni kono mi wo subete sasageru dake
Itsuka wa kono sora ni daremo ga kaeru kara
Wakare no kotoba wa iranai
Make it up
The two exchanged blows, with Puppy trying to block Gyro's attacks. It wasn't easy: Gyro was was displaying much more strength and force that Puppy would be used to receiving from any normal opponent. Still, he tried to cope his best, forcing himself to ignore any pain in his limbs. He attempted to catch Gyro by surprise by delivering a couple of sudden kicks to the stomach. The Wolf Orphenoch staggered back but was largely unaffected. He leapt up and over Puppy's head, kicking him in the back as he came back down.
Oreta tsubasa wo habatakase subete wo keshite miseyou
Itsu no hi ka owari wo mukaeru saigo no kane ga nari yamu made
Puppy stumbled forward but just about managed to keep his balance. He turned around, ready for another round. Gyro moved in, but Puppy quickly sidestepped to avoid him, finishing with a kick to the side that caught Gyro offguard. He retaliated with a swift roundhouse kick that clipped Puppy's shoulder. He yelled out, clutching onto his shoulder and breathing heavily through gritted teeth. Gyro jumped in, causing Dogmott to act.
"Increasing Slash Buster software capacity from 75% to 100%. Adamantium Mode is now active."
Puppy pushed forward and struck Gyro with the Slash Buster, causing a minor explosion against the Orphenoch's chest. Gyro gingerly got up, noticing that his wound was losing sand and fast. It wasn't healing fast.
"Master, I suggest using the final program."
"Don't bore me with tech, Dogmott, just do it!"
"As you wish, Master. Executing final program."
"You will die for this, you bastard! Nobody can stop our secret weapon..." Gyro screamed in vain, knowing he was dying faster than usual. Puppy took his kicking stance, holding the Slash Buster backhand.
Final Program: Vanguard Tornado, Descend!
Puppy levitated into the air and began spinning rapidly as he came crashing down upon Gyro with a massive drill kick that pierced through the Orphenoch's sternum.
Yasashii dake no kotoba nara ima no boku wa iyasenai
Hateshinaku tsudzuku tatakai ni kono mi wo subete sasageru dake
REDEMPTION
Puppy forced himself all the way through and stabbed the Slash Buster beside him, looking back to watch Gyro explode in defeat.
"DARK DECADE!"
The leader of the Orphenochs was dead. Puppy carefully removed the Vangarder from the Yaibuckle and snapped it back into its standby form before allowing Dogmott to reassume its canine mode.
"Dogmott, check systems. I want a full diagnostic to find out whether repeated use of the Vangarder is going to be dangerous." Puppy ordered.
"Fortunately, Master, the firewalls and antivirus prevented system shutdown. Mark-Three technology has been seamlessly integrated into this unit's systems. Further use of the Vangarder module is only considered to be 21.2% dangerous to this unit's systems." Dogmott replied, causing Puppy to sigh in relief.

A/N: Chapter over! Sorry it took so long and that it was a little rushed!
Next time on Academy Kamen Rider, Term 2: The Academy attempts to rebuild in the aftermath of the NEXT/Orphenoch incident, with everyone on edge. Erik begins to notice a change in Puppy that isn't all that pleasant, Nobuya recovers, only to see himself team up with Joseph Harbinger after two old enemies resurface and kidnap Rei Kaze & Amy Crystalline, Dax finds himself hanging out with Jackie Shirogane after Phil gets collared for unfinished assignments and Raz finds out some disturbing news. Eternal Maximum Drive!
This is a presentation of DJ Diddy Dog FangJoker.
Sa, omae no tsumi o kazaero!
Coming soon...
Darkness once blighted his life...
"Proud parents Jennifer Shepard-Shinoda and Augen Shinoda Sr. died today in a house fire that rocked Shibuya. Local authorities investigating the inferno have blamed a gas leak for the explosion. The couple's 19-year-old son Augen Shinoda Jr., who was living with his parents at the time, survived the fire and alerted neighbors, but the warning came too late. Takinawa Akiza, reporting for TV-Asahi."
But he rose above to become the greatest Rider in Academy history...
Through KageDoran's Kivat-inherited "Bite" technique, tribal tattoos appeared on Augen's torso and arms in the style of a Kiva-type Rider's stained-glass tattoos. On his waist, the tribals rapidly merged to form the Doran Belt, which housed the Fuestles in Fueslots on each side. Taking KageDoran in hand and lifting him up high, Augen commanded his transformation into the skeleton & dragon-inspired Kagemarou.
Kagemarou's past is revealed... humble beginnings...
"It's an honour to be here, under your wing at the IXA dorm..."
...To emotional ends...
"Will I... ever see you again?"
"Don't be silly. Of course you'll see me again, no matter how long it takes. Augen Shinoda, I love you... but a long-distance relationship won't work. It's high-time you start thinking about yourself and your goals. A Kamen Rider's not my path... but it is definitely yours."
Kagemarou! BLAZE!
"Let's finish this! Taichi! Doug!" Augen encouraged as Splinter and his gang flailed, exhausted from the previous onslaught from the trio. Augen gave the Orichalcos Fuestle to KageDoran to play. Taichi loaded the Solar Divider with the Taiyou Memory and Doug inserted the Eclipse Memory into the Crescent Edge's Maximum Slot.
Wake Up!
Taiyou! Maximum Drive!
Eclipse! Maximum Drive!
KAGEMAROU TRILOGY! GEKIJOBAN ACADEMY KAMEN RIDER: ENTER KAGEMAROU!
COMING SOON!
