A week later, Nico launched into Kamen Rider Chronicle feeling useless but after a speech Taiga decided to help him that in case of emergency while she was infected again Dan in Proto Chronus killed the Bugster and took the Gashatrophy in addition to having taken that of the Salty Bugster and then the Vernier Bugster to now that of Revole Bugster giving him 3 Gashatrophy. But not only, Emu managed to bring Poppy back to their side winning his Gashatrophy while Hiiro and Kiriya managed to get back from the Motors, Aranbura and Charlie Bugster.
In the CR Parad remained silent as Sento tried to figure out what passed through Dan's head and Miku was still shocked to know that their friend killed unrestrained innocent people on his way. Poppy she still tried to assimilate what happened to Dan during her brainwashing, she could not help but feel guilty.
And on the roof of the hospital, Hiiro and Emu have just arrived there with them in front of the roof Dan waiting for them.
"So you got my message." Dan said.
"What happened to you so you decide to do that Dan?" Emu asked.
"My heart was broken." Dan answered simply before turning around and looking directly at them. "Tell me, did you appreciate the gifts I gave you?" He asked.
"Which gift ?" Hiiro asked.
"Come on, Brave. I'm talking about bringing Kiriya and Saki back to life." Dan replied, shocking Emu and Hiiro.
"Why did you bring them back?" Asked Emu curiously.
"To prove to you that even though I am now my own path I am not against you." Dan answered. "How much did you collect from Gashatrophy? I doubt that you had any, while I was paying for Bugster without receiving any warning." Dan asked.
"We had 4." Hiiro replied.
"Then I propose a market." Dan offered as Emu and Hiro's eyes saw the purple crack spread on the left side of his head, surprising them.
"What kind of market?" Hiiro asked.
"A fight. In 30 minutes, on the square. If I win you gave me 3 of your Gashatrophies. And if I lose, I will bring you back to life and human all those whose data are inside the proto Gashat." Dan says, exposing his market.
"What will you do with Gashatrophy if you win them?" Hiiro asked.
"It's not your business. Get you to the rendezvous point in two hours otherwise I'll take them by force." Dan said before disappearing.
A little later at the CR everyone was made aware of the challenge including Saki who exceptionally was allowed to come and go whenever she wished.
"He literally put the fate of many lives at stake. All that to have our Gashatrophy. What did you intend to do?" Taiga asked.
Parad remained silent until the stethoscopes sounded and announced a Bugster attack at the other end of town.
"What do we do?" Emu asked.
"You two are getting ready to fight Dan. We will take care of the Bugster." Sento said before him, Taiga, Parad and Poppy go CR towards where applicable Bugster and the Emu and alert Hiiro leave the appointment of places gave them Dan. But Kiriya stayed with Saki in the CR.
"Do you think we should give them?" Kiriya asked, taking out the Gashat Might Creator VRX.
"He told us to give them only if it's necessary." Said Saki outgoing the Gashat Taddle Legacy.
"What are you talking about?" Miku asked.
"Given to Emu and Hiiro, Gashats that Dan asked us to give them only if it is necessary." Saki answered.
"So, do it. You would save hundreds of lives. Maybe we could bring back the Dan we know." Kiriya said.
Later on Dan Square waited for Hiiro and Emu to arrive with their Game Driver at the waist.
"So you came." Dan said.
"Will you keep your word?" Emu asked.
"Yes. If you got to fight me, of course." Dan said.
Dan grabbed his coat and with a movement of his hand pulled off his coat revealing a black marcel with visibly a collar underneath, jeans and a pair of black boot, as well as the purple cracks that are visible only on the left side of his body, his Buggle Driver at the waist as he pulled out of his pocket the Proto Gashat Kamen Rider Chronicle.
Emu and Hiiro take out their strongest Gashats and engage them at the same time that Dan engages his as a team of Gemn Corp films the scene as the showdown is broadcast live.
Taddle Fantasy!
Maximum Mighty X!
Kamen Rider Chronicle!
In Dan's apartment, Mai and Yuki look on Gemn Corp's website looking for if there is more information on Kamen Rider Chronicle until they find the video on the homepage.
"Onii-chan." Yuki said hugging her mother in fear of losing her brother.
"Emu, Hiiro, bring my son back to normal, please". Mai prays watching the video with Yuki
On Emu Square, Hiiro is getting ready to place their Gashats while Dan dropped his one that floated to the Buggle Driver slot before turning around and stopping.
"Max dai..." Emu said.
"Skill Level 50..." says Hiiro
"Henshin!" "Say the three riders before their Gashat is inserted into their respective driver.
Dual Gashat!
Maximum Gashat!
Gashat!
Hiiro and Emu opened the levers of their Game Driver, Emu pressed directly on the top of his Gashat and Dan pressed the button.
Gachan! Dual Up! Tadoru Meguru RPG! Taddle Fantasy!
Gachan! Level Max! Saidaikyuu no Powerful Body! Dariragan! Dagozuban! Maximum Power~ X~!
Buggle Up! Ten wo Tsukame Rider! (Genocide!) Kizame Chronicle! Ima koso Toki wa Kiwamareri! (un crie de zombie!)
Once changed to Rider the fight started and Proto Cronus only dodged and deflected the shots of Ex-Aid and Brave. As if, he was having fun with it.
"It's all you have?" Asked Proto Cronus.
Brave and Ex-Aid ran towards Proto Cronus continuing the fight.
On the other side of the city Para-DX, Snipe, Poppy, and Nico in Ride-Player face Ride-Player and standard Bugster wondering where is the one who has brought so much. Para-DX had a bad feeling that got worse when he was transported to a damaged warehouse.
Stage Select!
Para-DX looked around to see his black version walking towards him, a Game Driver at his height.
"Who are you?" Para-DX asked.
"The one you should have stayed." Darkly replied the black Parad coming out of his Black Gashat Gear Dual.
"A black dual gear." Para-DX said surprised.
The black Parad placed his Gashat in his Game Driver and the standby sound identical to that of Para-DX was played.
"Henshin!" Said the black Parad by opening the lever.
Gachan! Mazaru Up! Aku no kobushi tsuyosa! Yami no puzzle rensa! Ashiki yami no ouza! Perfect Knock Out!
It becomes a black version with the bottom of the degraded Para-DX outfit but the eyes keep their original color.
"Now, show me who is the strongest." The black Para-DX said with a Bugvisor II as a weapon and attacked Para-DX.
Back in the fight between Proto Cronus, Ex-Aid and Brave, two riders are on the ground always transformed on the verge of being beaten.
"You're wasting your time. With this power I do not even need help to finish this game." Proto Cronus said before a motorcycle noise was heard.
Behind Ex-Aid and Brave, Lazer level 2 with Saki on him arrives and the two riders get up looking at his side.
"Emu, Hiiro! Take them!" Saki shouted, throwing the Gashats she and Kiriya had to the two riders catching them.
"Mighty Creator VRX." Ex-Aid said reading the name of Gashat.
"Taddle Legacy." Brave said reading the name of his."So now you've won a Level X Gashat and a Level 100 Gashat respectively." Proto Cronus said pointing at Ex-aid and then Hiiro giving the respective levels of their Gashats. "It will not change anything, I'll beat you anyway." He said sure of his victory."Do you think it will work?" Brave asked as Proto Cronus did not move.
"Only one way to know it." Ex-Aid said.
Brave nodded and they closed their Game Driver and removed their Gashat before activating those he had just received.
Mighty Creator VRX!
Taddle Legacy!
"Dai..." said Ex-Aid.
"Skill Level 100..." says Brave.
"Henshin!" They say putting their Gashats in their Game Driver before opening them.
Gachan! Level Up! Tenchi Souzou no Chikara! (Get Make!) Mirai no Gamer! Mighty Creator... V-R-X~!
Gachan! Level Up! (Musique classique orchestrale de style médiéval) Tadoru Rekishi! Mezameru Kishi! Taddle Legacy ~!
Ex-Aid gained pieces of armor that made him look like the Mighty version on the Gashat illustration, and Brave looked like a more angelic version of his level 50. As if all the evil of his power had disappeared.
"I will create games without continuing!" Ex-Aid said.
"There is nothing I can not cut." Hiiro said showing the Gashacon Sword.
The fight resumed but this time Brave and Ex-Aid took the advantage. Ex-Aid used his new power to create obstacles to the Proto Cronus attack and Brave attacked him relentlessly, a real team work.
Proto Cronus has got tired of it and is preparing to launch his final attack at the same time as Brave and Ex-Aid create a missile before doing like Brave.
Kimewaza!
Kamiwaza!
One foot of Proto Cronus and the two of Brave were covered with energy in the color of their Gashat as the missile of Ex-Aid multiplied and the 3 riders launched their final attack.
Mighty/Taddle Critical Strike!
Critial End!
Brave jumped and dipped both feet with angel wings on his back at the same spot where Ex-Aid's missiles headed towards Proto Cronus who used his attack to parry theirs before she went on causing a explosion.
On the side of Mai and Yuki they were shocked to see the power of the attack and worried for Dan's life.
Para-DX confronted him with a black version that is tougher than he expected and was in bad shape and ended up on the ground with half of his hit points left.
"Abandoned. You will not stay long." Says the black Para-DX.
Parad knew it, this version of him is too strong, it represented all that is bad in him. It's as if he was betrayed by a part of him. He realized how much Dan must have felt when he saw Aqua betraying them.
At the same time on the side of Ex-Aid and Brave they look there where the explosion to hit where was now a cloud of smoke, worried to see if, they killed Dan or not. Suddenly around the square a gigantic number of people surrounded the square except the part from which the camera was filming. But a detail shocked Brave. All his person died of the Bugster virus. The smoke began to dissipate.
On the side of Para-DX, he stood up in spite of the pain and stared at his shadowy counterpart.
On the side of Ex-Aid and Brave the smoke to almost completely vanished reveal Dan with several bloody wounds on the torso and purple cracks still present beginning to dominate the right side of Dan's body, also showing on his right arm a mark of chain wrapped around his wrist, his marcel and some of his destroyed jeans revealing the scout that contained the Christmas gift of Aqua.
From a screen in the basement of Gemn Corp Aqua saw that and was shocked at him what Dan carries around with a tear that came out of his eyes without her noticing.
Mai and Yuki, they were saddened to see Dan this state but were shocked to see that he was standing upright.
Ex-Aid and Brave were shocked to see Dan's condition but they noticed that even though his Buggle Driver and Proto Gashat were out of his size he held the AxCalibur in his hand."Do not think..." Dan started.
Para-DX looked at his black counterpart with unwavering determination.
"Do not think..." He began.
"THAT IT IS FINISHED!" They shouted both in their respective opponent.
