[Super Hero Time]

C.J.: Wow, who've would've guessed that Takeshi was a Rider too. Actually now that I think about it, I'm pretty sure some of you guys were secretly hoping/expected that anyway. Well then, let's end this arc with a Bang and move on to the next world. And now ladies and Gentlemen: Kamen Rider Neo Decade: Chapter 10…


Takeshi and Ishinomori watched on as Rachael watched in horror at the two rock monsters beating her friends to a bloody mess.

"It's in the Attic." Ishinomori suddenly said.

"I'm not using it, I promised that-

"You don't really have a choice in the matter do you?"

Takeshi hesitated and shook his head.

"I'll say it again; it's in the attic; go get it and help them, now."

Takeshi nodded and walked towards that direction.

"Wait a sec, where are you going?" Rachael asked.

Takeshi ignored his sister and kept walking.

"Now then, I think it's time that we finish you off. Emperor-D will be pleased that we succeeded where the others failed at…" The Heat Crystal chuckled.

"Say good night… Neo Decade…" The Mist Crystal held her Blade into the air, ready to deliver the final blow.

They suddenly hear footsteps which made the Mist Crystal hesitate. The Heat and Mist Crystals turn to see Takeshi walk towards them, a mysterious Red and Black Katana strapped on his waist.

"Still have one more you need to take care of… Me." Takeshi drew a card from his pocket and drew his blade. He swiped the card across the slit in the hilt, as the blade began to glow red.

"KAMEN RIDE:" the similar voice to Sam's Deca-Gauntlet made out.

"HENSHIN!" Takeshi shouted as he slashed the air, creating a dimensional rift in front of him.

"D-Mension!" it announced again. The Rift spewed out different silhouettes of Riders towards him as they created armor on his person. The rift closed as the transformation completed. The armor was Silver and Red, taking a similar appearance of Kamen Rider Diend. The only difference was the Katana strapped onto his waist, and the chest armor resembled Knight Armor. The Lines on Diend's helmet were replaced by red eyes that the lines went through, similar to Neo Decade's.

"Let's get started…" Takeshi said as he motioned them to come forward.


Chapter 10: The Wedding of the Decade


The Heat and Mist Crystals stood surprised. They didn't count on a Third Rider being with Neo Decade; no one told them about this. If anything, they'd assume Miuchi Roc would be the third, however this clearly wasn't him.

"Just who are you?" The Heat Crystal asked.

Takeshi drew a card from his case and swiped it across his katana.

"ATTACK RIDE: PHANTOM BLADE!"

Takeshi suddenly disappeared, catching everyone off guard from the sudden instance.

"Kamen Rider…"

The Heat Crystal spun around, only to catch the full force of Takeshi's blade. The vertical slash went across her body as she dropped to her knees.

"D-Mension…" Takeshi turned to the Mist Crystal and began to walk towards her. The Heat Crystal meanwhile screamed in pain and died in the explosion behind him.

The Mist Crystal realized the new Rider's powers and saw that it wasn't safe to mess with him. She used her speed to get out of there as fast as possible.

Takeshi canceled his transformation and turned to the unconscious girl behind him. He picked her up and carried her inside to treat her wounds.

Sam, C.J. and Rachael all watched him walk inside with the girl.

"What just happened?" Sam asked.

C.J. shook his head, just as shocked at what happened.

Takeshi rests the girl on the couch and walks into the kitchen. Rachael trailed her brother.

"Takeshi, what was that just now?"

Her brother didn't answer.

"Takeshi!" Rachael yelled at him.

Mr. Ishinomori put his hand on her shoulder. "Come with me. Get C.J. and Sam as well, I'll explain everything…"


Richie rode home as happy as could be. He finally got engaged to his girlfriend. They were going to be married soon and life seemed perfect from then on.

"Aren't you forgetting something Richie?" Roc asked him.

Richie snapped out of his daydream and looked at Roc. "You're talking about Neo Decade aren't you?"

Roc nodded. "He wouldn't be here unless something serious was happening. Do you think…?"

"It could very well be a possibility. Nexus Shocker's moving out. It's just as he said. If that's the case, then maybe the Crystal's inactivity could very well mean that they're waiting for orders from a General, or maybe from the Big boss himself."

"At any rate, we need to find Neo decade and offer our assistance in any way possible."

"OK, I'll get on that."


Mr. Ishinomori took them upstairs to the attic of the house. He walked over to a big black box that sat in the corner of the room. It had a security lock installed on it, however it took Ishinomori two seconds to punch in the security code.

"What is that?" Sam asked.

"My Creations…" Ishinomori smiled. "My most recent completed ones: the Deca-Gauntlet and the D-Mension Blade."

Sam looked at his arm. "You created this…?"

Mr. Ishinomori nodded. "Kamen Rider: D-Mension, is the next Generation Kamen Rider Diend. Diend serves as Decade's Rival; His powers are similar, however instead of transforming into the Riders, he can only summon them. D-Mension on the other hand, can transform into the Secondary Rider forms, granted that they still exist. However he cannot summon Riders in the current space and time.

"But why Takeshi…? How long as he been a Rider?" Rachael wanted to know.

"Six months before Sam became Neo Decade." Ishinomori replied. "It's been two months since Sam became Neo Decade. Whenever Takeshi would leave home for a certain period of time, he was really being sent to a parallel earth to help Riders in need to repel Nexus Shocker. The Seventy Worlds that were destroyed, at least half of them were aided by your brother. But with just one Rider, it was impossible to save them all… That's why, when all that remained were Neo Decade's ten worlds, I knew we had to step in right then and there."

The three of them thought about Ishinomori's words.

"That's why he was able to hold the Akuma off that one time isn't it?" Sam asked.

"And he wanted to tag along on this mission because he wanted to make sure that everyone got out of it safely, right?"

Ishinomori nodded. "He feels the guilt of not being able to do much for the other worlds. That's why he's reluctant to become D-Mension."


Takeshi skips through various blank cards in D-Mension's case, remembering the fallen warriors that perished due to Nexus Shocker.

The Girl on the couch cracks her eyes open, not remembering what happened.

Takeshi noticed and jumped to help her up.

"Where…Am I?" she asked.

"In my house; you were attacked by a Crystal, and you passed out on my front porch. My Grandfather is upstairs trying to get in touch with your parents." Takeshi told her.

"I don't have parents…" she replied. She caught Takeshi off guard with that one.

"OK then, do you have anyone else that we can call?"

The door bell rung as Takeshi turned his head towards the door.

"As you can see, the door's out of order…" Takeshi commented. "Come on in."

Richie walked in, taking notice to the damaged door lying on the ground. "Hi, sorry to intrude, but I was looking for Sam Williams, is he around?"

"Richie, what are you doing here?" The Girl asked him.

"Cindy?" Richie noticed her sitting on the couch. "What happened to you? I was calling you to let you know something important."

"I got mixed up in a Crystal Attack outside and Takeshi here helped me."

"Richie recognized Takeshi. You were with Neo Decade earlier weren't you?"

"Who said my name?" Sam asked as he raced downstairs with the others.

"Are you Neo Decade?" Richie asked.

Sam nodded. "What about it? You're Miuchi Roc right?"

Richie nodded as well. "I need your help. I know about Nexus Shocker and the reason why you're here in my world. However, the activities of the opposing forces have been quiet ever since you arrived."

Sam chuckled. "That's a bit of an understatement." He said referring to what happened an hour earlier.

"In any case, I'm here to offer my services to you. If you need any help just let me know and I'll-

Richie's cellphone goes off again. "Hey, Madison."

"Guess what, I just called my parents in Florida. They'll pay for the entire wedding. Let's get married this weekend, how about it?"

Richie froze. "This weekend…? Are you sure that's not too soon?"

"Of course not; my parents are paying for everything, plus it doesn't have to be a spectacular wedding, just a few friends and some tuxedos and dresses. As a matter of fact they're leaving for Kansas tomorrow morning so they'll be here by the afternoon. That gives us at least 3-4 days to find a church."

Richie didn't like the idea of getting married so soon, especially with something bad soon to happen, considering Neo Decade being here.

"Just answer one question, will you?"

"What is it?"

"Are you feeling OK?"

"Yeah, why do you ask?"

Richie sighed. "Nothing, just making sure it was you."

"Don't worry about it. I'll see you tomorrow."

"OK, bye."

Richie hung up and turned to the rest of the group. "That was my Fiancé; she wants to get married this weekend."

"You proposed to Madison?" Cindy leapt of the couch so fast it's as if she wasn't hurt at all.

"Hey I know this is last minute and all, but can you guys participate in the wedding, you know in case there's a Crystal Attack during the ceremony?"

Sam, Rachael and C.J. looked at each other and then back at Richie, realizing they didn't really have much of a choice.

"What time will it be?" C.J. bothered to ask.


The Mist Crystal raced past the crowds avoiding being noticed by someone. Her movements were shaky because she was terrified of D-Mension at that point. She slowed down, assuming that no one noticed her.

Her Transformation canceled as the Sapphire Necklace dangled from her neck. She walked towards a house and rung the bell.

"So, how'd it go?" A feminine voice asked her

"We almost had them…" She replied. "But there was a third rider that we didn't count on. He managed to defeat Heat."

"Miuchi Roc?"

She shook her head. "Someone calling himself: D-Mension."

"D-Mension, huh…?" The source of the voice walked out of the house passed the young girl.

The mysterious woman turned back revealing to be Madison with pale lavender irises. "I'll make sure I let Emperor-D know about this…"

Rocks covered Madison's body turning her into a Diamond-like Crystal. Snow formed under her feet, signifying her elemental ability to be Ice.

"For now, keep an eye on them. They'll be more trouble if we don't."


The next day, Sam and the others, met the Bride to be, as they spent most of the day scrambling for dresses and suits for the wedding. Once again, Crystal activity was quiet, and now it even bothered Sam a bit. If there wasn't any life-threating monster ready to bring the world an end, why were they still here?

Rachael stared in the mirror in the dressing room, looking at the bridesmaid outfit she had on her. She was happy that she was going to participate in the wedding, but at the same time it bothered her a bit. Namely, what if something happened during the wedding and it would be the exact same scene as in her dream?

"Hey Rachael we're getting ready to leave." Sam called from a few feet away, loud enough for Rachael to hear.

Rachael heard him and quickly got herself together to leave the store.


As the group walked out of the store, C.J. walked over to Richie.

"Hey dude, quick question."

"What's up?"

"How can her parent's afford all of this?"

"Honestly?"

"Honestly."

"My parents are very rich. My father's a retired archeologist who just so happens to run a small group of them. They're constantly finding ancient artifacts and Jewels that they make loads of money from. Ever since the Crystal monsters appeared, even the small and insignificant ones are sold for a high price."

"Does that answer your question?" Sam asked C.J.

"I'm gonna tell you the same thing I told you when we were in OOO's World: Honestly, I'm not surprised." C.J. sighed.


At the house, Ishinomori and Takeshi sit at the kitchen table, the D-Mension Blade resting on the side of the table.

"So now your secret as Kamen Rider D-Mension is out into the open."

"Now it is; it was supposed to be a secret, I wasn't supposed to use it ever again."

"Takeshi, you know as well as I that you were gonna use it eventually. That's why you've kept it."

Takeshi looked at the blade and in return began to imagine the various hardships he's been through.

"You know that this was your destiny the second I confronted you about it. Whether you like it or not, you need to stop being so reluctant to fight and just go. Reluctance will get you and everyone else killed." Ishinomori stood up and went to the counter to pour himself coffee.

"I wonder…"

"Wonder what?"

"I wonder if it was your reluctance that got the worlds destroyed."

Takeshi shot up and his eyes turned ice cold towards him. "What the hell do you know; you were never there to begin with! You have no idea what I've been through, the Riders who lost their lives because of Nexus Shocker, and the civilians who were enslaved because of that… How would you know any of that?"

"Because I created that blade with my own two hands…" He replied calmly. "That blade has been through a lot in the past few months as you have. I may not know what you've been through personally but I know what that sword has. It speaks to you doesn't it; Telling you to 'forget the past and look towards the future; to get rid of your reluctance to fight and to just go ahead with any worry?'

Takeshi stopped for a second and stared at the blade.

"Now then; this world needs help, like the others. Go and find out the problem, and assist Sam in fixing it; after all that's the Destiny of D-Mension: To Train and Assist the Next Decade!"

Sam and C.J. raced upstairs, dressed in their suits, ready to head out for the wedding.

"Hey have you guys seen Rachael, we gotta go in like 20 minutes." Sam said as he fixed his tie.

"She should be upstairs, she hasn't come down yet." Ishinomori replied. "There's coffee on the counter if you want any before you leave."

"I'll take you up on that offer." C.J. said going towards the counter.

"I'm gonna go and see if Rachael's ready to go." Sam said as he turned to the stair case.


Rachael slipped on her white heeled shoes to go with her matching dress. She looked at herself: Her black hair was braided into a ponytail and the White Dress, small silver earrings and white heels were now being joined by a small chain with a silver oval-shaped locket at the end.

"Hey Rachael, come on we're leaving in a little-

"Yeah hold on I'll be right down..." Rachael turned to see Sam's quiet face turning slightly red. She then felt a little embarrassed, the way he was staring.

"You OK? You look like you may have a fever." She suddenly brought up.

Sam snapped out of his trance and his face turned redder. "Sorry, it's just that… You look really nice in that dress."

Rachael turned away due to her embarrassment.

"We'll be down stairs, so come down when you're ready."

Rachael nodded not turning around and Sam closed the door. Rachael turned back, and couldn't help but smile to herself.

"Maybe I'm just overthinking it a bit. After all, it was just a dream…"


Madison, Cindy and the Mist Crystal, in her Human form, sat in Madison's dressing room, waiting for the arrival of Sam and the others. Madison stared at her Ring, the Diamond sparkling in the light.

"I wonder where my brother got that ring, it's beautiful." Cindy commented.

The Mist Crystal, Ashley stared at it briefly. "You're really lucky Madison."

Madison smiled. "Am I?"

Ashley nodded. "You are. It's not everyday someone asks you to spend the rest of your life with them."

Madison blushed. "I'm actually glad he did ask me… I knew from the day we graduated from High school, that we'd be together for a long time. I really hope that doesn't change."

Ashley and Cindy smiled in approval, the Sapphire Necklace and the Diamond Ring glistening slightly.


The teens made it to the ceremony, just as the crowd began to arrive, maybe a few minutes before that. They met with their respected parties and soon afterward, the ceremony began.

Richie stood at the altar, a bit of a nervous wreck, but more calm than most others. And it wasn't because he had cold feet; it was the fact that a Crystal attack might happen at any moment.

"Are you ready?" Sam asked Rachael as he held his arm out.

Rachael nodded and wrapped her arm around his. The two step by step made their way down the aisle as the wedding music played. C.J. and Ashley followed them a few seconds after, followed by Takeshi and Cindy. Ishinomori had Sam's Camera, suggesting that a Wedding scene might help their project.

Then finally Madison and her Father come. They walked down the aisle, the white veil covering Madison's tears of joy. Once they made it to the front, her father kissed her on the cheek and allowed her to go towards Richie.

"We are gathered her today, to join Richard McFarland, and Madison Spinelli in Holy Matrimony. If anyone objects to this, speak now and forever hold your peace." The Minister announced.

The room was quiet, no objections heard.

"The Rings please…?" The Minister turned to Sam. Sam pulled out two small gold rings out of his pocket and handed them over.

"Richard McFarland, do you take, Madison Spinelli as your Lawfully Wedded Wife?"

"I do…"

"And do you, Madison Spinelli, take Richard McFarland, to be your Lawfully Wedded Husband?"

"I do…" She smiled.

"It is now with Great pleasure, that I Pronounce you Mr. and Mrs. Richard McFarland. You may now kiss your Bride."

Richie nodded and removed the veil. The two leaned in to kiss but then…

KAMEN RIDE: NEO DECADE!

Sam suddenly rushed in between them, pushing Richie back and having the Deca-Blade struggling against the hard Glass-like Claw from Rachael's Forearm.

The audience was shocked at what suddenly erupted, as Ashley decided to chuckle.

"I guess we don't have to hide it anymore my Queen." Ashley's necklace began to glow as her body mutated into the Mist Crystal. The audience suddenly roared in fear and ran to the entrance as fast as possible, not afraid to step over each other.

"Finally, it's about time something around here actually happened…" Sam forced Madison off of him.

Madison looked at her arm, scratch less. She turned into her Diamond-like form, shocking Cindy and the others.

"Madison…" Richie looked. "But how did…?"

Roc suddenly appeared from the floor. "The Engagement Ring…!"

"But how is that possible, you would've been able to pick it up wouldn't you?" Richie asked.

"My elemental ability of Ice allows me to freeze almost anything; that includes the vibrations in my movements. With this unique ability I'm able to become practically invisible…" The Ice Crystal replied. "However, something strikes me as strange…"

"What's that?"

"Neo Decade…" She turned to Sam. "How is it that you knew I was going to attack at some point?"

Sam withdrew his blade. "It was when Richie asked 'if you were feeling OK.'. That's how I knew."


FLASHBACK

"Just answer one question, will you?"

"What is it?"

"Are you feeling OK?"

"Yeah, why do you ask?"

Richie sighed. "Nothing, just making sure it was you."

END FLASHBACK


"That actually made me suspicious as to what was going on; the Wedding being rushed and the Crystal's mysterious inactivity? Someone or something was waiting for something. And my guess was that someone was waiting to assassinate Miuchi Roc; and the closest person that you could get close to, to make sure that happened, was his Girlfriend; am I wrong?"

The Ice Crystal shook her head and clapped her hands. "That was very well observed. No wonder Emperor-D wants you dead as well. If you continue to walk, then you'll be a hindrance to us all."

"Bring it on then. C.J., take the Mist Girl."

"I'll take care of her." Takeshi stepped in. "You help Sam, C.J."

Sam looked surprised. "But what about…?"

"Whether I like it or not; I'm D-Mension. And as long as I'm alive, I'll continue to be D-Mension."

Sam nodded.

"Don't worry; he has Richie to help him. I'll stick with you. Between our speeds, she shouldn't be able to keep up with us." C.J. replied, taking his Speed CLAW from his pocket. "Tigerton, let's Run Wild."

"You got it partner." Tigerton leaped into his palm as C.J. threw the Shuriken into the air.

"HENSHIN!" Takeshi and C.J. called out as they transformed into their respected forms.

The Mist Crystal ran outside with the duo in tow.

"While she's taking care of those two, I'll finish off you lot, starting with Miuchi Roc!"

She ran towards them, but Sam managed to shield her strikes with the Deca-Blade.

"Richie, what the heck are you doing sitting there, hurry up and transform!"

Richie stood frozen in fear.

"Richie!" Sam called out again.

"I can't! That's my Wife, how can you expect me to fight her?"

"Well if you don't fight then she'll be killed!" Sam retorted. "Mr. Ishinomori told us once that Reluctance will get you in deep trouble, no matter what the situation is! So if you want to save her, get over it and help me defeat her now!"

"ATTACK RIDE: Blade Rush!" His gauntlet announced as he used his power to slash away at her. He managed to chip her body slightly.

"Found its weak spot." Sam pointed to her abdomen.

She covered her wound, transforming back into Madison.

"Richie, stop him please! If you don't he'll kill me!" Madison pleaded.

Richie looked at Madison and back at Sam.

"Didn't you say that you'd help me in any way possible?" Sam asked him. "What about now? Even though your wife is under the influence of a Crystal, would you still help me stop her before she destroys this world? Or are you too reluctant to do anything, afraid that you'd put her in serious harm?"

Richie went back and forth before coming to a decision. He stood up and walked towards Sam.

"HENSHIN!" Richie called out as his transformation Commenced.

Sam's deck case glowed and once again, three new cards shot out.

"You're right." Richie nodded. "I am reluctant. But whether I like it or not, she needs my help. And I'm gonna do that in any way I possibly can."

"In that case…" Sam slid one of the new cards into his Gauntlet.

"FINAL FORM RIDE: M-M-M-MIUCHI ROC!" His gauntlet made out.

Richie's body straighten out and his arms and legs began to fold until he resembled an R shape. Sam examined it, and so did the Ice Crystal.

"What in the…? What does it do?" Sam questioned. He then noticed a trigger on the diagonal leg of the R and grabbed it from there. The Top part of the R suddenly slit open, revealing a electromagnetic cannon on the inside.

Sam looked at his Deca-gauntlet, which supplied him with info on the new weapon.

"Perfect R: Roc Rifle." Sam read.

"Like you're gonna have anytime to use it!" She transformed back into her Crystal form and charged Sam, but he took a shot with it, the Rifle blowing her a few feet back off the altar.


The Mist Crystal meanwhile was being knocked around by Takeshi and C.J., using their speed to overwhelm her.

"I'll let you do the honors Takeshi." C.J. said as they looked at the dying Crsytal.

"OK fine. Let me change into something more destructive though."

"KAMEN RIDE:" Takeshi swiped a card across his blade and slashed the air, making a Rift.

"TAIGA!" It announced. The rift then poured out silver Data Streams that covered D-Mension into Kamen Rider Taiga's armor, the only difference was his D-Mension Blade on his belt.

"That's so cool…" C.J. commented.

"You haven't seen anything yet." He drew the blade and swiped another card through it.

"FINAL ATTACK RIDE: T-T-T-TAIGA!"

The Brass knuckles appeared on Takeshi's fist as he slammed them together. He bolted towards the Mist Crystal leaping into the air.

"You're not catching me with that!" She smirked.

Takeshi suddenly disappeared behind her, one of the boosters on the knuckles giving out.

"Unfortunately for you, I'm faster than you. Dai-Shogeki: Uppercut!"

With the other booster still fueled, Takeshi uppercuts the Crystal into the air.

"Not done!" Takeshi followed her into the air, the dead booster reigniting in place of the live one.

"Dai-Shogeki: Hammer Punch" he Slammed his left fist into her, shooting her straight down into the ground, causing her to explode.

Takeshi landed as Rachael and Cindy made it out of the church.

"Are you guys OK?" C.J. checked.

Both bridesmaids nodded, but the dresses were a bit damaged from the flames burning in the church.

"Where's Sam?" Takeshi asked.

"They're fighting inside the church. But it caught on fire during the battle so if they don't get out soon, it'll be too late." Cindy explained.


The Ice Crystal struggled to get up, even though she took a direct hit. Once she got her head together, she looked up at Sam, who held the Roc Rifle point blank in front of her.

"Tell me where I can find Emperor-D." He ordered.

She laughed. "What's the point, look around. The place is on fire, we're gonna die where so what's the use of telling you?"

"Just tell me!" Sam shouted, the vibrations shaking the foundation a bit.

"You left yourself wide open!" She said devilishly as she lunged. Sam saw it and jumped back as fast and far as possible.

"ATTACK RIDE: Sonic Boom!" Sam disappeared before she made contact.

"There's no way!"

"FINAL ATTACK RIDE: M-M-M-MIUCHI ROC!"

"Roc Requiem!" Sam took the shot that lets off high-powered cannon shot that engulfed the Diamond Crystal, most of the force targeting her weak spot. She exploded, the blast breaking a hole in the church, which the others noticed outside.


The church then fell down, the flames finally eating it alive. Rachael and the others were shocked, fearing for the worse. Rachael without having time to think raced over towards the burning wreckage, before Takeshi caught her and forced her in place.

"LET ME GO DAMMIT!" She screamed at her brother. "SAM!"

Her eyes watered and she crumbled down to the ground and sobbed.

C.J. then noticed something moving in the wreckage.

"It can't be…" C.J. then realized what it was. "It is! Sam, Richie!"

Rachael wiped her eyes and got a better look at the ones walking out of the wreakage. Sam was being dragged along by Richie, who at the same time was carrying madison on his back.

"You know, I know I said I'd do anything for you and all, but I'm gonna get scoliosis carrying the both of you."

Sam chuckled weakly. "Shut up and keep walking."

"Sam!" Rachael exclaimed.

"Hey there..." He gave them thumbs up.

Rachael smiled and started to make her way towards them, but stopped abruptly, her eyes widening in horror.

Sam suddenly couldn't breathe he started to taste a warm and paper-like liquid in his mouth; and his stomach was in such pain, that screaming was impossible due to the shock. He was afraid to look down but he did anyway.

"An eye for an eye…" Madison whispered behind him, her forearm briefly transformed into a Crystal Form. The Diamond shattered off of her finger and Sam's transformation cut out violently.

"SAM!" Rachael screamed at the top of her lungs…

Sam's eyesight became terribly fuzzy and he became drowsy. The last thing he saw was Rachael's crying face hovering over him as he closed his eyes.


"So this is what dying's like…" Sam told himself. "Some Decade I turned out to be… I only got half way… I still need to fight… It's my destiny… I'm… the Next Decade… I…Can't die yet…"

"I won't let you die… Neo Decade…After all; I still need you…"


Rachael cried her eyes out in Sam's bloody suit as C.J. comforted her.

Takeshi and Ishinomori stood a few feet back, being derailed by this sudden twist.

"I have an idea." Takeshi said. "Let's take him to The Zero World."

"The Zero World?" Ishinomori looked at him. "Well I guess we can. They can probably see if we can save him. It's also one of his assigned worlds so that supports the idea that we should make our way there."

"In that case, we should probably go now; the longer we wait, the longer we'll have to save him." Takeshi added.

Takeshi and Ishinomori both agreed and walked over to Sam's lifeless body. Takeshi picked him up and walked towards the house, Rachael still in a shocked state.

"This can't be happening…" She kept whispering to herself. C.J. heard her and tried harder to get her out of it, to no avail.

"What are we going to do now?" C.J. asked.

"We're heading to the Next World. Just because he's down doesn't mean that Nexus Shocker doesn't pose any less of a threat. Besides; one of his assigned territories… Is actually a place that we can use to bring him back to life… The World of Zero…"

[END]


[Super Hero Time]

Shuriken16: OK, well I finally finished world 4. Now we're up to World 5: Rider of Zero: Odin, which I nicknamed: World of Zero (or RoZ) so I'll see all of you loyal fans over there.
