(Begin: the next decade by Gackt)

Destroyer of all worlds, Decode. What do those flaming eyes see as he travels throughout the multiverse?

(Yoko ichiretsu no Chase hirundara make hajimaru RACE) we see DJ riding the machine decoder with Luna and Trace driving a motorcycle alongside him. Matt and Sarah run alongside them .The logo then appears on the screen.

(Takamaru aseri to tsumetai ASE kyoufu ga kimi o tsutsunde) DJ looks at a blank card in his hand as the wind picks up and he turns around to see Luna and Trace. He smiles and waves at them as the card flashes to reveal the Decode card.

(Tachi tomaru Nara) as Luna and Trace both run towards DJ, they are stopped by a silver wall rising up between them, making them keep their distance. DJ's smile turns into a scowl.

(Kokoro Ni nido to hi WA tsukanai SA) the silver wall falls down to reveal the dream sequence as the heroes all run toward DJ.

(Migite Ni yadoshita sadame daite) DJ pulls out the DecodeDriver and straps it around his waist as he pulls out a card and inserts it. Matt pulls out the omegadriver, and card.

(You're the next, Next Decade) DJ then gains the armor of Decode and runs forward towards the heroes with his sword out. Matt gains the armor of omega, and stands still shooting. Trace just stands there, watching with a grin on his face.

(GOAL yori sono saki Ni aru sutaato rain) DJ wakes up to see Luna sleeping next to him peacefully. Trace is over on a couch sleeping lazily

(Mezase Kanata e) Tsukasa walks up and throws several cards towards the screen, each depicting a different, unknown rider or hero.

(Hashitte yuke kizu darake de mo) DJ watches as Tsukasa walks away and the man in the fisher's hat appears with an evil smile across his face while giving thumbs up to the boy, who just grins back evilly.

(Kono sekai no mirai WA ima...) DJ looks over a cliff as Luna runs forward trips and falls on him with Trace just shaking his head.

(Kimi no Te Ni) They all look over the cliff to see transparent images of various heroes as the logo appears once more.

Hunter was waiting inside a hospital, having just got discharged. He was waiting for the doctor to discharge DJ, so they could go to the abandoned warehouse. Their friends had just been kidnapped by the BBB. DJ walked out, dressed as he usually is.

"So, what happened with you?" hunter asks, leaning against a wall.

"Nothing. Got a few shots, and that was it." He says, walking forward. "Now I remember why I don't like needles…" he says as hunter chuckles.

"Come on, let's go to that warehouse." Hunter says getting off the wall while examining the plate he had in his hand. It resembled a crimson Styracosaurus. He stuck in his pocket, hoping that DJ hadn't noticed. No such luck though.

"What was that?" DJ asked while throwing his dino battery up in the air and catching it.

"A plate I refuse to use." Hunter said as he took it out again. He removed the t-rex plate from his pocket as well, and a case full of plates. One was a blue triceratops; one was a yellow pterodactyl, a black brachiosaurus, a purple Pachycephalosaurus, a cyan Dimetrodon, a green Parasaurolophus, an orange Ankylosaurus, and a purple stegosaurus. He closed up the case before closing it. He held the crimson plate up to the light. "This thing has almost conquered me before. I don't want to have to use it again."

"You know, you're probably gonna have to." DJ said while he ate…frozen yogurt. Where did that come from?

"Whatever. Hey can I have some of that?" hunter asked as he held up a case of dino batteries. He opened it and pulled out the ones he deemed fit for the mission. He stored away the case in his jacket before they continued on to the ware house.

"no."

"AW COME ON!" hunter says as DJ finishes the tub.

"I'm out. That's why." He says tossing away the empty tub in a nearby trash can. He pulled out one of the mysterious kamen ride cards from in front of the suits. He pulled out one that had a picture of the dino suit on it.

'So that's what these are for. Well then, looks like I got my work cut out for me.' DJ thought as he walked alongside hunter. Hunter then reliezed something.

"um… wouldn't it be faster on motorcycles?"

"do you even have one?"

"yes. I just gotta call it."

"then do so. I'll get mine." DJ said strapping on the DecodeDriver and pulling out a card. The card had a picture of wizard reaching into a red magic circle.

ATTACK RIDE: CONNECT PLEASE! DJ reached into the portal and pulled out the machine decoder and his helmet. He stuck his helmet on and got onto his bike.

"come here! Machine Dinomite!" hunter yelled as a red Honda Goldwing drove up on its own. The front was remodeled to look like a t-rex head, and the wheel guard on the front had claws on it. Hunter hopped on and put a helmet on his head, before the two drove off.

Sometime later…

"Ow. Ow. Ow. Ow. Ow. No matter how many times you kick or punch me, ya ain't getting any information." A tied up trace said as he was getting punched by the red rider.

"then if I can't get any info out of you, you are useless to me and my employers." The red rider said as he knocked trace out with his fist.

Suddenly, the wall burst open as a couple of bright yellow guns started firing off shots, blowing crap up everywhere. The culprits stopped their motorcycles, and got off.

"who are you two!?" the dark rider asked as he brought up his sword.

The two took off their helmets, revealing hunter and DJ. Hunter took out his belt, plateless, and DJ took out his DecodeDriver, and they both strapped the belts around their waists. DJ brought up his card.

"just a couple of passing through kamen riders, remember that." DJ said as he walked out of the shadows to reveal both him and hunter were in combat gear.

"You're idiots. Fossilizers, attack." The dark rider commanded as stone covered figures rushed out on two legs. A single gem was on each of their head, as well as two red eyes.

The two riders stood up as Luna looked up at DJ and screamed, "NO, DON'T!" rosy looked at hunter and simply said, "don't give up, dino…."

"LETS GO!" DJ yelled as he rushed in, shooting the Fossilizers in the head, causing them to crumble into dust. Hunter simply hit them in the back of the head with gun, or as he called it, a dino shooter. He brought it up and spun the yellow barrel on the side.

CHARGED! Sadly though, he never got to fire it, as the dark rider tackled him, sending the gun out of his hands. He put the t-rex plate on his buckle.

TYRANNO SET!

"give up boy. Give up your hope." The rider said as he raised his own gun.

"No, I can't give up hope…" Hunter said. His face had a bloody streak on it. The bbb commanders ran out and seeing him still fighting yelled, "You idiots think you can beat our rider from another dimension? You're insane!"

"From another dimension?" DJ said out loud as he looked at hunter and the BBB.

"I… will never give up. Not as long as I live!" hunter shouted as the plate in his pocket, the Styracosaurus one. It flew onto the buckle and the tyranno plate flew off on it's own.

MAAAAAAXXXXXXXXXXX! SET!

READY!

"well, I didn't want to use it again, but it looks like I'm gonna have to. HENSHIN!"

MAX FORM, GO!

"RRRRRRRAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHH!" hunter yelled as a black body suit formed around him. The ground cracked open as crimson and black armor flew out, and connected to him. His shoulder pads were black with golden pieces attached to the sides. His arms were covered in black armor, and his fists were golden in color. His legs were covered by crimson armor that rose up from his ankle to his knee, and his hip pads were black in color with golden decorations on them. His chest had a Styracosaurus on it. His helmet now had a more ferocious look to it. On his back were two giant cannons. Hunter threw his arm out to the side and yelled, "STYRIZER!" and a Styracosaurus shaped shield appeared in his hand. A silver blade rose out of the middle, turning it into a sword.

"Just what are you?!"

(Start: parallel world from decade ost.)

"allow me to answer that. He's a man who won't ever give up hope, even if it means dying to protect those he loves. A champion of the vivosaurs, and most of all… a kamen rider."

"then who are you?!"

"me? I'm kamen rider decode. Hope you don't mind, but I'm just passing through. HEN…" DJ yelled as he pulled out his card and stuck it in the slot.

KAMEN RIDE…

"SHIN!"

DECODE! 14 rider symbols appeared around DJ, swirling and moving down before turning into rider suits, and merging onto him, creating the blank form of the decode suit as the yellow cards flew out of the buckle's center and merged with the helmet. The yellow color filled into the suit as the two riders took battle stances.

(Start: abaranger theme song by maasaki endoh.)

"the rampaging ancient! Kamen rider dino, max form!" hunter announced as he struck a pose, explosions appearing behind him.

"the shining golden traveler. Kamen rider decode." DJ said striking his own pose as he took out the decode booker in sword mode. The two rushed forward as more Fossilizers ran, but were dissipated by the nightmare Zector. It flew towards Luna, cutting the ropes holding her. It continued on, cutting matt's ropes, Sarah's ropes, and trace's ropes. Trace just fell over unconscious.

"HENSHIN!"

KAMEN RIDE: OMEGA!

HENSHIN… CAST OFF, CHANGE: NIGHTMARE!

"Pathetic. Burst link." The rider said, suddenly disappearing. He reappeared in an entirely blue space, he noticed that the BBB had sent a monster in without warning. he looked it over, before going around behind it and tinkering with its cybernetics. Once he was satisfied with his work, he closed the panel he opened, brushed his hands off, and said, "Burst out."

He reappeared in the real world, as the monster came charging in, sending all the riders everywhere. It raised its head and roared in rage. The rider looked at his employers and said. "I already have my pay. So I bid you, adeu." And with that, a portal opened up as he stepped through it.

Meanwhile with the riders…

"again!? God damn it this needs to stop happening!" matt yelled as DJ brought up 3 shining cards. They glowed and then revealed themselves. The first was the kamen ride card from earlier, the next had a picture of regular dino and a giant t-rex tail sword. The last had a golden dino footprint in a single circle. He showed the second one to hunter who reverted to tyranno form. DJ slid the card in.

FINAL FORM RIDE…

'this will either hurt or tickle, don't know which." DJ said as he closed the buckle.

D-D-D-D-DINO!

DJ stuck his hands against hunter's armored back, before a red handle appeared and DJ folded it out. Hunter folded up into the sword on the card, before DJ nearly dropped him.

"hey! Be careful with me!"

"sorry." DJ said sliding in his last card.

FINAL ATTACK RIDE… D-D-D-D-DINO!

"volcano crash!" both DJ and hunter yelled as DJ swung the sword around, cutting the monster in half, before it blew up. Hunter reverted back into his normal self. The rider armors disappeared as DJ walked forward, causing the BBB to run away in fear.

"WE'LL REMEMBER THIS!"

"ARF!"

"I don't think we'll be seeing them anytime soon." DJ said, walking away from there as the others followed.

'probably not." Hunter said, following DJ as he exited, hopping on his bike.

A few days later…

DJ and the gang had set up shop on vivosaur island for a few days. Turns out, they were pretty popular.

"dude! We earned a total of $900! That's awesome!" DJ shouted out. Matt cam down and snatched a couple hundreds out of his hands. "hey! What the hell are you doing!?"

"taking my pay. I worked here too ya know." Matt said stepping out.

Another day later…

"well, it's time for us to leave." DJ said as he pulled out his card. matt did the same and they stuck them in their drivers.

ATTACK RIDE…

"see ya, dino!" DJ yelled as he closed his drivers sides up, and matt pulled his trigger.

PORTAL!

And with that, they left the world of fossil fighters, and went on to a new world. They landed outside a middle school, dressed in clothing meant for highschoolers.

"I know where we are… accel world no sekai…" DJ said his mouth gaping open.

Next time, on decode.

"brain burst?"

"burst linking is the process of accelerating one's mind. Every regular burst link uses up one burst point. And once you run out of burst points, you lose brain burst. FOREVER."

"BURST LINK…. DINO HENSHIN!"

NEXT TIME: WELCOME TO THE ACCELERATED WORLD!

In order to move forward, leave all behind, and destroy those who oppose you!

A/N: hey guys. So I gave up on fossil fighters for awhile. So expect chapters to come out sooner. Actually scratch that, don't. I have a life too. So as you can see, I started doing what decade did at the end of its mini arcs as I call them. Also, apparently, Word doesn't know how to spell every dinosaur name in existence. Other than the more well known ones…. Yeahhhh…. PLEASE REVIEW! And because my sister reminded me that flamers DO exist, ANY FLAMING WILL BE DELETED, AND THE FLAMER WILL BE HUNTED DOWN BY DJ AND THE PONIES, BEFORE THEY ARE SLOWLY TORTURED TO DEATH. GOT IT?
