Last time on Academy Kamen Rider:
"This, my students, is the Advent card, Survive Nishi. This card enables the user to upgrade into Survive Form."
"Well, in all this confusion, we may have just found a resolution to who gets the Survive Nishi card! Phil Friendly, I challenge you to a battle in the Mirror World... and the winner gets Survive Nishi to add to their Vent Deck!"
"You're on!"
"You two will be the first in my quest to the top!"
Final Ride!
Hyper Clock Up!
"Where could they be?"
"I don't know where we are or what those things are, but I'm not going down without a fight!"
"Lucifer!"
"The Devil's vengeance... will be mine! Now you two are finished!"
Academy Kamen Rider.
Chapter 14: Survival in the Different Dimension Pt. 2.
"What?!" Professor Muro retorted as he listened to Rally's story.
Rally bowed her head in panic: "I activated the Hyper Zecter system and then the four Den-O dorm students disappeared into thin air. Not even my cameras can pick them up! I'm sorry, Takeru... please don't let Professor Ryker fire me!"
Muro snapped Rally back to reality: "Pull yourself together, Rally! We've got to first find out where my students are! Go over all your past Hyper Clock Up specialty classes and see if there was ever an instance where this thing happened before! Go!"
Rally nodded and readily rushed out the room.

Hellfire from the Devil Drag Claw shot Dax into the wall.
"Dax Komodo... you will relinquish your life!" Lucifer proclaimed. He pushed the horns together on the Twin Horn Visor and used another card.
Final Vent!
Phil saw this, as Burnseid stopped assaulting him and placed himself behind Dax's prone body. Phil let the Arach Visor web up a card.
Confine Vent!
Lucifer went for the Fall From Heaven attack, but Phil's last card caused Burnseid to disappear before full damage could be done. Dax crashed to the ground, where Phil ran over and rallied Dax to his feet. Lucifer rushed into this fight without ease. He kicked Dax in the face and roundhouse kicked Phil on the way over.
Dax stood up quickly and tried to take on Lucifer one-on-one. Lucifer didn't want to waist any time getting the fight restarted and neither did Dax, so they went in with fists flying. Lucifer swung the Devil Saber for Dax's head and missed, giving Dax the chance to pull his EmeraldShot out and shoot Lucifer backwards. Lucifer responded by lifting his burning Devil Saber up and letting Dax have the same treatment.
Phil tried his luck, using the Arach Claw to try and bind up Lucifer, but the devilish Rider just used his hellfire to rip the webbing off. Lucifer then responded by blasting Phil in the chest with the Devil Drag Claw.
Copy Vent!
Phil's latest card brought a copy of the Devil Drag Claw to his own fist, battling Lucifer for control of the line of fire between them.
"Go, Dax! Get outta' here!" Phil warned.
"What about you?!" Dax asked in worry.
Phil smiled: "I'll be fine! Go get Survive Nishi... it may be the only thing that can defeat Lucifer this time!"
Reluctantly, Dax nodded and headed out a mirror back into the real world.

Dax began driving his Ride Shooter in the direction of the Den-O dorm, before he came across Raz Hybrid.
"Yo, Raz. You seen Erik or Amanda?" Dax wondered as Raz stood by with his camera.
"No. Apparently, during Professor Rally's Hyper Clock Up class, both Yusei & Asuka disappeared with Yu-Ki and RyuGun-O into thin air. I'm doing some looking into it." Raz informed Dax. He took out what looked to be a Gaia Memory.
Bat!
He plugged it into the camera, making it assume its Bat Shot mode, flying off.

"Rally, what is it?" Frantz asked with his face focused on the evaluation sheets on his desk.
"We have a problem, Markus. During my Clock Up class, four students disappeared into nothing. I've been doing some checking... and it seems one of my past Hyper Clock Up sessions sent some missing Kuuga dorm students into a dimension you created for your Resistance 101 classes." Rally explained, walking into Frantz's office.
Frantz's expression changed to one of horror: "Ground Xero... an abomination if I ever saw one. I created it for purposes to benefit this Academy's ciricculum, but it turned into our worst nightmare. Those Kuuga dorm students never returned. What students have got lost this time?"
"Erik Caine, Amanda Kyle, Shiro Ryozaki & Kenzaki Ryozaki, all from Takeru's dorm." Amanda replied.
"While I don't like Erik Caine... or any of his fellow Den-O dorm students for that matter... Ground Xero is a fate I do not wish on anyone. Go back to Takeru. I'll make a call." Frantz suggested with a worried sigh. Rally nodded and walked out while Frantz took out his Academy PDA. His evil smile then returned.
"I think I've just found the solution to our little dilemma..."
---xxx---
Shiro pulled Amanda away from the walls, with Erik doing the same for Kenzaki. It was hard having to combat both the dimension and its enforcers, but the four held up well.
Waking Up!
Erik went for the Dominance Crash Break against the material warriors, but the chains that broke off both his legs were promptly fired back at him by the dimension walls, cancelling his attack. The ground tried to swallow him up, but Kenzaki ripped him right off the ground.
"Thanks for watching my back, man... now watch your own!" Erik warned. Kenzaki twisted around and pointed the RyuGun at the blobs.
Full Charge!
Kenzaki hit the Dragon's Assault on the warrior's causing them to part and splatter all over the dimension, but they immediately regenerated. They all hung upside down from the dimension's sky.
Full Charge!
"HELL'S FIRE BREAK!"
Shiro smashed the Savage Gasher on the ground, sending the blade up into the air... where it was swallowed into the sky.
"Damn!" Shiro exclaimed. Amanda roused a card.
Roar!
The slash's soundwave greatly aggravated the dimension's material, where the warriors appeared again and swiftly extended their limbs down to the four Riders. Latching onto their throats, the warriors tried to hang the Riders by their necks. His blade missing, Shiro was unable to cut himself down. Kenzaki fired the RyuGun wildly, but once a shot grazed his brother, he settled down. YuKivat removed himself from the YuKivat Belt and flew threw the makeshift nooses, letting the Riders free.

"Professor Muro!" Dax yelled out, after finding his dorm professor. "Phil's in trouble! I need Survive Nishi!"
Muro was unconcerned by Dax's plea: "We have problems of our own right now, Komodo!"
"But sir! Phil could dissolve in the Mirror World and possibly die! I need the card!" Dax responded. Muro sighed and quickly place the protected card from his pocket into Dax's palm. Dax thanked Muro and rushed out the door, just as Frantz & Nobuya entered.
"Markus, do you have a solution?" Rally wondered in panic.
Frantz grinned: "I do indeed. It seems the only way to exit Ground Xero is the way you came in. Hyper Clock Up."
Rally facepalmed: "The Hyper Zecter replica was destroyed when we plied it from the machine."
"Luckily, my student here has something to bypass it." Frantz responded. Nobuya pulled an Attack Ride card from the MakaiBooker, which depicted Kamen Rider Caucasus running at high speeds.
"This is the Attack Ride card known as Hyper Clock Up. It copies the effect of a Hyper Zecter. Now, I'll gladly help get those four from Ground Xero... but on one condition." Nobuya explained.
Muro sighed, knowing full-well what was coming: "What is it?"
"If Yusei stays lost in that cesspool of corruption, then I will never be able to avenge my loss to him. The condition is... the Ichigo no-contact rule is lifted once more and I get another crack at Yusei. Accept, and I will rescue them." Nobuya replied.
"Professor Ryker didn't want that rule violated again... but it's our best shot, Takeru." Rally said.
Muro sighed once more: "I'll take care of it. But please get them out safely."
Nobuya, his goal having been accomplished, moved to the battle room door as Rally switched on the Clock Up machine.
"Henshin!" Nobuya commanded.
Final Ride...
---xxx---
Phil's body burst onto the mirrored pavement, crashing and rolling around. Lucifer, with the Devil Drag Claw in hand, began to make his methodical approach.
"The Rider War is about to begin... and I will be the victor!" Lucifer proclaimed, raising the Devil Saber for one final strike, but he was blindsided by the firepower smoking from the barrel of Dax's EmeraldShot, equipped with the Emerald Visor. Phil gingerly turned his head, letting a smile creep onto his face pleased that Dax came back.
"I'm not going to let you use my buddy's corpse to start a new war!" Dax declared, slotting another card into the Emerald Visor.
Burst Vent!
The EmeraldShot let out a grenade-like projectile that hammered Lucifer in the chest hard.
"You two shall perish... one way or the other!" Lucifer screamed, placing another card into the Twin Horn Visor.
Hell Vent!
Lucifer pointed at Dax, sending the hellish inferno towards him in a rapid motion. Dax just reached for his Vent Deck again.
"Survive... Nishi." Phil blurted out, recognising the card. He thought he was hallucinating, as he could've sworn the flames depicted on the card began blazing out of the artworks to meet Lucifer's flames head-on. It was no illusion, as the Hell Vent was cancelled by the emerald firestorm Dax had summoned. He brought the Survive Nishi card into close contact with the Emerald Visor-equipped weapon, shapeshifting it into a rocket launcher/sniper rifle-type weapon known as the Emerald Visor-Zwei. Dax placed the card into the furthest slot towards the barrels.
Survive!
The emerald flames engulfed Dax, transforming him into his Survive Form. His chest armor was enhanced to make up for a lack of a bullet belt, while his shoulderpads resembled Ultimate Kuuga's spikes. He placed a card into the closest slot and pushed the back handle to properly slot it.
Launch Vent!
A rocket attachment appeared on the end of the Visor, which Dax promptly fired into Lucifer's general direction. Lucifer was dazed, and not even his hellfire was stopping Dax's assault.
"Tell the devil... that you'll be staying a while!" Dax taunted.
Sword Vent!
Dax flipped up the Emerald Visor-Zwei and unsheathed the two barrels into a pair of katanas.
"You still insist on fighting? Hmph! Then so be it!" Lucifer spat, slotting 2 cards in the Twin Horn Visor.
Sword Vent!
Guard Vent!
With the Devil Saber & Devil Shield ready, Lucifer let out his demonic battle cry and charged for Dax.

In Ground Xero, the four friends were trying to fight off the environment, to little avail. The dimension's defenders kept on coming.
"These things just don't slow down!" Erik complained.
"I don't give a damn! I'll fight these things to the end of time if I have to!" Shiro responded.
Then suddenly, a familiar figure came in, launching Rider Kicks where he saw fit. The blobs seemed to be taken aback by this interference. The culprit then stopped before the four Riders.
"That's..." Amanda began.
"Hyper Kabuto!" Shiro finished for her, recognising the crimson armor. Erik's eyes shifted to the belt that Hyper Kabuto was wearing... the MakaiDriver.
"Nobuya!" Erik exclaimed. Nobuya looked back for one second and then turned his attention back to the blobs.
Final Attack Ride: Kabuto!
With his right leg fully charged, Nobuya hit the sky and blasted the blobs with the Hyper Kick. He then swiftly inserted a new card into the MakaiDriver as his boot connected.
Attack Ride: Hyper Clock Up!
Nobuya spun around and sped off towards Erik and his friends, grabbing them along the way. Debris ripped up the ground below them as they disappeared into the void that the blast that Nobuya's Hyper Kick had created.
---xxx---
If not for his skills, Dax would've hit the floor, most likely at sword-point at the mercy of Lucifer. Instead, as the devil Rider shoved the Devil Shield forward to throw Dax backwards, Dax backflipped, landing safely and drawing the EmeraldBlade-Zweis once again. Lucifer drove his Devil Saber towards Dax's head with rage backing it.
Holding one EmeraldBlade-Zwei at an angle, Kamen Rider Gargo managed to let the enemy's weapon slide down the EmeraldBlade-Zweis, crashing into the ground. The two kept fighting, as Dax and Lucifer locked weapons in battle to gain the upper hand. Both were skilled, evenly matched at fighting. Dax relied on trying to throw Lucifer off balance, Lucifer relied on deadly strikes.
The two opponents moved in again, this time trying to prove which of their weapons were the strongest. Clashes of metal could be heard as the blades connected with each other. Lucifer put a lot of aggression into his swings, but Dax remained cool and focused, allowing him to remain on top of the fight. Using both hands, he put pressure on his weapon, pushing the EmeraldBlade-Zweis upwards. Then, he moved to one hand as he ducked down with a twirl, slashing the one EmeraldBlade-Zwei straight across Lucifer's chest. Lucifer then sweeped out Dax's legs.
"Your heart is undeniable, Gargo... but you WILL give into despair!" Lucifer proclaimed once again.
Dax smirked: "Oh really?"
Advent!
The slotting of his card brought Gargonix back to the battle, where he shapeshifted into Gargonizer, an enhanced, motorcycle version of itself. It sped into Lucifer, knocking him over as Dax got back up to his feet. Lucifer swiped forward, forcing Dax to move faster than he thought he was able to. He frontflipped over the weapon as it slipped through the air.
However, he had unprepared himself for such a sudden movement, and landed flat on his back. Lucifer twirled the Devil Saber around until the end was pointing straight towards Dax. With a cry of anger, Lucifer drove the weapon down with Dax rolling clear at the last second.
Hell Vent!
Dax watched as his opponent's sword began to charge with flames. Not to be outmatched, Dax readied the EmeraldBlade-Zweis. As if they moved in stereo, Dax and Lucifer leapt up and both slammed their weapons into each other's chests before dropping back down to the ground. Dax viciously twisted his blades around in acrobatic fashion as he moved forward towards his opponent.
The swords twisted around faster than the eye could follow before being brought to an abrupt halt by the Devil Saber's sudden intervention. Lucifer forced Dax's weapons away, leaving him free to deliver a strong slash to the midsection. Dax stumbled backwards but remained standing. As Lucifer attacked again, Dax brought up his forearm to block the attack.
The pair exchanged blows at a standoff, before Dax suddenly forced his fist forward. The fist pushed straight into Lucifer's jaw, dazing him. Dax took full advantage of the moment, giving two hard strikes to Lucifer's chest, before swinging the EmeraldBlade-Zweis down low and tripping Lucifer up. Dax moved in again, only to have Lucifer suddenly bring the Devil Saber up. Unprepared for the attack, Dax was knocked clear.
"A valiant effort. If you're lucky... the devil may spare you and make you a general... but I doubt it!" Lucifer taunted, slotting one last card.
Final Vent!
Lucifer used his hellfire to take to the air for the Fall From Heaven attack.
"I'm not done yet, Lucifer! Get a load of my new card!" Dax yelled, slotting his own Final Vent card.
Final Vent!
Gargonizer drove by, prompting Dax to quickly mount him. Now with speed to aid him, Dax watched as Lucifer descended and then aimed his Emerald Visor-Zwei. As soon as Lucifer got too close, Dax let rip with the Emerald Torrent blast attack. Lucifer was knocked yards away, disappearing into a huge wall of flames before he could hit the ground. Burnseid also retreated.
"Phil!" Dax yelled, parking Gargonizer next to his friend and holding Phil's head up.
"Don't give up on me now, man..." Dax fake-laughed.
Phil spat out a little bit of blood: "No chance of that, kid. Not when I've got a friendship to maintain."
Dax was able to smile weakly at this: "Come on. Let's get you cleaned up and raring to go."
"Yeah... sounds good. Plus, I'd like to withdraw my pining for the Survive Nishi card." Phil informed Dax as Dax placed Phil's arm around his head.
"Why?" Dax asked.
Phil eyed him with a smile: "After a performance like that... I'd say I don't deserve it. I don't deserve Amanda either. I'm sorry for being so selfish and risking our friendship for something as stupid as that."
Dax shook his head: "Even the best of friends can get into arguments and have problems, Phil. Currently, we don't... and for the record, if Amanda's relationship with Shiro doesn't last, you'll be the first to probably know."
The two shared a chuckle as they exited through a mirror.

Professor Jack Ryker was holding a video conference with Professors Muro, Rally & Frantz, along with Erik & Nobuya. Amanda & the Ryozakis were there to back Erik up.
"So, what you're saying to me is that you want me to lift the no-contact rule once again, so Makai can take on Yusei in a rematch? Frantz, I can't express how much displeasure I am oozing right now at your blatant undermining of my set of rules... repeated undermining, I might add." Ryker began.
"Sir, I assure you this was Dori Nobuya's condition for saving the Den-O dorm students from the Ground Xero dimension. He wishes to avenge his loss." Frantz replied.
Ryker was not any happier: "Frantz, I want that damn dimension obliterated! I don't care how, just do it! And as for your condition, Dori... I should really say no for the sake of my Den-O & IXA dorm students, but since Makai & Yusei tore the roof off of the Towerhacker Stadium at the induction event and brought my academy so much publicity my head could've exploded, I'm going to say yes. At a later date that I shall determine, and on what terms. Professor Rally, I'm sorry, honey... but Hyper Clock Up classes are becoming too dangerous for my students. So, even on off-days, I don't want another Hyper Clock Up class run for the rest of the year, got it?"
Rally bowed her head in sorrow: "Yes, sir."
"Good. Now, everyone go back to your dorms and remember that the no-contact rule is in effect until a week before the match between Makai & Yusei. No more violations, or I will be giving out expulsions! Dismissed!" Ryker concluded, shutting off his connection.
Muro patted Erik on the shoulder: "You heard the man. Let's go."
"Before you leave, Yusei... let me just say good luck. Because against me you won't have a prayer!" Nobuya taunted.
Erik let a smirk appear: "We'll see about that when it's game time, Nobuya. Until then, be a good boy and listen to the Head Professor."
Scoffing, Nobuya extended his hand for Erik to shake. Erik gladly took it and then pulled Nobuya in close.
"No chance in hell, Yusei... that's what you've got!" Nobuya finished before Frantz led him away.

A/N: Chapter over and that concludes this two-parter. I hope you enjoyed it.
Next time on Academy Kamen Rider: Amanda tends to the animals in Joji Forest before being set upon by the Oni, but she is saved by a bunch of Ryuki dorm students known as 'The Pack', led by Daniel Leon, who has apparently become dazzled by Amanda! But before Shiro can set Leon straight, he and the Pack are sent into the Mirror World to deal with one of Leon's biggest enemies, Lucifer! Erik comes across a Blade dormer known as Sirius Belmont, formerly Alternative Zero, who offers to train with Erik leading up to Erik's rematch with Nobuya! And speaking of Makai himself, his rivalry with Joseph Harbinger is revived and the two begin an all-out brawl! While waiting for Phil to heal, Dax is confronted by Agito dorm students Dante Kaien & Jake Bryant, who were never fond of Phil. Dax then learns these are the students who inherited Keitarou Mikuchi and Kiba Saame's places as NEW Den-O & Abyss! Joker Maximum Drive!
This is a presentation of DJ Diddy Dog - DECADE FORM.
Let's Ride! Set your sights on the Other Side!
Coming Soon...
"Hongo Island is experiencing a lot of instability lately. The academy's professors have been stumped as to why this is... until yesterday. Professors Frantz and Kato did some signature-checking and traced the instability to Saagen City, Michigan. It was a portal... to another world."
Soon two worlds shall collide...
"You could say... I'm just a passing-through Kamen Rider! Remember that!" Anakin declared, strapping the Decadriver to his waist and taking the Decade card from the RideBooker.
"Amazing!" Phil thought as he punched away a pair of Gelnewts and stood by Anakin with the Spider Vent Deck ready.
"Henshin!" Anakin called, dropping the Decade card into the Decadriver.
Kamen Ride: Decade!
"Henshin!" Phil followed, inserting the Vent Deck into his V-Buckle. Anakin & Phil became Decade & Spider respectively.
Combatants from the Alter-Earth will come into contact with Kamen Riders from Earth...
"They are my victims... and my victims alone! Henshin!" Lucifer declared, sliding the Vent Deck into the V-Buckle. Under the veil of a mini-inferno, Lucifer transformed into Kamen Rider Akuma.
Alpha smirked evilly, raising the Alpha Driver to his waist: "That's fine then. We have no problems with you as a victim!"
Standing By!
"Henshin."
Complete!
The Academy will be called upon to combat the threat of Wyklaw's armies...
"Let's clean them up, dragon-schoolboy!"
"Henshin." Augen said, crystallising into Kagemarou.
"Amazing! I'm gonna' need to go then!"
"Henshin!"
Yaiva Mark-Two, Activate!
Puppy transformed into Yaiva.
From both Alter-Earth's resistance, the Academy and the Tournament, warriors will unite!
"This is a chance for treasures beyond my wildest dreams... and from another world too!" Harbinger grinned with glee, drawing the Diendriver from his jacket as he watched Raven's army and Wyklaw's army go head to head. He reached into his pocket and pulled out the Diend card.
Kamen Ride...
Harbinger thrust the Diendriver in front of him and pulled the trigger: "Henshin!"
...Diend!
GEKIJOBAN TOURNAMENT KAMEN RIDER VERSUS ACADEMY KAMEN RIDER! TAISEN NO SEKAI!
