December 2, 2018
After an Another Rider based on Ghost had appeared in a skate park, I ended up getting mistaken for a Kamen Rider that was conspiring with the Ghost Ganma by Danny Fenton, aka Kamen Rider Ghost. Turns out he on the same trail since, for three years, he and his friends Tucker and Sam were helping a girl named Mika find her brother. However, after we came to the conclusion that he was actually the Another Rider, we found out that he turned down the proposal of a new Chrono Horseman named Mort and it ended up costing him his life; leaving his corpse to be used as a puppet for the Horsemen to use. If that wasn't bad enough, they also somehow got on their side the destroyer of worlds, Tsukasa Kadoya, aka Kamen Rider Decade.
At the Fenton lab, Rex tried to return to his body once again only to phase through it. "It's useless…" Weiss told me, "You can't return to your body…" "I know, I know…" I sighed as I slumped down my shoulders in defeat. "So now what do we do?" Kairi asked Danny, "How exactly are we going to get Rex back into his body?" We were all silent as everyone was thinking up of a plan; all except Sora who I noticed was deep in thought.
"Looks like our only choice is to team up with the 2015 version of yourself and defeat the Ghost Ganma there…" Grant noted, "Doing that should probably allow Zi-O 's spirit to return to his body." "I guess so…" I noted as the future fighter got up and prepared to leave. "Wait!" Sora called out, making him stop in his tracks. "Don't try and stop me Sora…" he told him. "I'm not stopping you, I'm going too…" my friend re-stated as he got up from his seat despite the bandages. "Why are you so adamant in coming with me?" he questioned, "You guys need to stay in your current timeline lest something happens that might erase you from time entirely…"
"I know!" he shouted, making everyone turn to him. "It's just…I don't want to just stand by and watch you guys get hurt anymore…" he told him, "I understand that you guys are trying to save your time period, but you guys saw what happened, you, Danny, and Rex got pummeled by Decade!" Grant remained silent as he continued with his speech, "If you go and try and fight the Ghost Ganma or Decade in your current state, you're gonna be walking to your death! You're gonna need all the help that you can get…"
After that exchange, Sora turned to me and asked "Hey, can I borrow your sword?" I nodded as I said "It's not like I can pick up myself anyways…" before demonstrating what I said by trying to grab the Zikan Gilade but naturally, my hand phased through it. "Kairi, Selphie, could you make sure that Rex doesn't get into any antics?" Weiss asked. "We'll make sure that he won't get into any more trouble" Kairi answered.
I soon watched Geiz's Time Mazine fly up and leave to head to three years into the past in order to solve this current…conundrum we've found ourselves in… "Man, did this plan fail spectacularly…" I grumbled", "I just wish I wasn't stuck in this ghost form…" "Well there's not much we can do right now…" he expressed, "Besides, don't you need to unlock that Rider Link to become a king or something?" "Wait, how do you know that?" I asked him as he took out his Ore Eyecon, which as glowing. "After that initial fight with Tsukasa, I felt this Eyecon begin to glow somewhat…" he explained to me. "So if the Ghost Rider Link is already active, so why isn't it reacting to any of Rex's blank Ridewatches?" Kairi asked the two, remembering the explanation that Rex had given them after the initial encounter with Riku's Gaim Inves form.
"My guess, it has something to do with his presence in this world…" Rex theorized, "Considering that there was some kind of residual energy revolving around him, something tells me that's what's preventing the Rider Links from connecting…" It was a solid theory, Tsukasa did use to have a sort-of reality-altering presence that he couldn't control; However even if he seemed to no longer have this, that didn't rule out a possible residual effect that could emanate from him.
"So, now that I'm kind of nothing more than a spirit…you think you could help me out on something?" I politely requested. "What do you have in mind?" he asked me. "I need you to head to the accident that caused the Ghost Ganma to appear and stop it, simple as that…" I told him as I shrugged my shoulders. His response?
"Wait, you want me to do what?!"
SONG: Oath Sign – English Cover by Rikatwoo
/PRELUDE/
"On the day of my 18th birthday, a mysterious person arrived in a time machine and told me that I was a Singularity, a person who can't be affected by the flow of time. Now, with the help of two other defactors, we set out to save the past in order to prevent a tyrant known as the Calamaty from ruling the future with an iron fist. This is the story of our quest…to the Edge of Time"
A simple calendar that shows the year 2000 and Kuuga's symbol begins to change years as the music swells up. When the music is at its climax, the calendar now displays the year 2018 and the main title on it before fading away to show just the title.
/Countless times I try
I stop and start to find a path through the dark/
It soon jumps to Rex standing in the courtyard looking at a Blank Ridewatch as various afterimages of the various primary Heisei Riders appear as he places it onto his Watch Holder.
/Stumbling through my tears
My doubts and fears/
It soon jumps to Grant looking at a mysterious picture before noticing the afterimage of Geiz standing behind him. He turns around as the afterimage disappears.

You know I do it for you /
After a quick shot of a blank Ridewatch, the next scene shows Weiss operating the Time Mazine before jumping to Sora, RIku, and Kairi hanging out with Rex at Radiant High

There's nothing that I can't do/
Next, a shot of Gadgetworks is shown as Gadget begins to fix a random object before it explodes, leaving soot on his face while Penny chuckles before petting Brain as they look at the door.
/I'll stand and fight through the sorrow
Pick up my dreams, face tomorrow/
The next scene has Rex standing in the middle of a Dive into the Heart like area as he equips the Zikyu-Driver and activates the Zi-O Ridewatch.
/Make this curse unwind like a rope/
A jump cut shows four unknown figures standing around a throne where the Calamity sits confidently.
/And turn our fate into chance
To hope/
As Rex prepares to transform into Zi-O, projections of the various Heisei Riders in their civilian attire appear around him as they prepare to transform.
/HENSHIN!/
He spins the Zikyu-Driver as the projections fuse with him, transforming the boy into Kamen Rider Zi-O
/Our ties make us braver, for nothing is greater
Holding you is all I wish
I promise/
It soon showcases a battle scene between Zi-O against the various Another Riders, with Zi-O using some of the RideArmors (BuildArmor, Ex-AidArmor, FourzeArmor) during the fight.
/I'll be there through each lonely night
Someday I will make this right/
It soon jumps to Geiz fighting several more Another Riders with some RideArmors of his own (DriveArmor, FaizArmor, WizardArmor)
/For love and for honor, I carry the future/
It has a quick shot of Zi-O and Geiz teaming up as they stand back to back while the Another Riders begin to surround the duo.

I'll go on/
It soon jumps to Weiss and Kairi walking parallel to each other as two mysterious maidens appear in the reflections of the windows.
/If I fall I'll get up again 'til the end
Out of this nightmare/
It then shows a mysterious hooded figure watching the battle from afar as Zi-O and Geiz perform a Double Rider Kick that destroys all of the monsters around them, causing the screen to flash white.
/Evermore onward, this is the oath I swear/
The opening ends with a shot of Rex landing on a Dive to the Heart-like platform as he poses like Zi-O before the camera pans out to show the other characters behind him.
TIMELINE 14: KAMENRIDE! ATTACK FROM THE DESTROYER OF WORLDS
In the year 2015…
As the Ghost Ganma got up, he began to limp towards the driver's seat of the crane. The driver, confused and terrified at what just happened, got out of the crane just as the Another Rider and attacked him before moving on to the man's co-workers.
However before he could, Grant arrived with Sora, who was using the sword mode for the Zikian Gilade. Grant, who was now wearing the Zikyu-Driver, activated his RIdewatch while Sora took on his usual struggle stance.
GEIZ!
As Sora charged into battle and began to fight against the Another Rider, Grant slotted his Ridewatch into his Driver before he spun his Driver and transformed.
"Henshin!"
RIDER TIME! KAMEN RID~DER! GEIZ!
Grant soon took out his Zikan Zaxe in it's bow mode, and then proceeded to fire a powerful blast. With the Another Rider's attention focused squarely on them, the two began their assault on the Ghost Ganma.
"Grant and Sora are going after the Ghost Ganma in the past!" Guerre cried out as she came to Tsukasa to warn her. "Where's your friend?" he asked her. "He's already gone to intervene" she answered him, "We should go too." "The infraction in Zi-O no Sekai, eh?" he bemused, "Wow, this world is pretty distorted…" "Just shut up and come with me" she demanded from the destroyer of worlds as she grabbed his arm, "I'll give you a ride."
However, he immediately reversed the grip as he said "Why is it necessary to time travel to arrive in the past?" This confused her as she asked "Well, what do you have in mind to get us there huh?" before the dimensional Rider revealed a smokey white veil. "Ladies first…" he said courteously as she passed through the veil, and found herself in the year 2015 without the use of a Time Mazine.
Meanwhile, as Grant and Sora continued to fight against Makimura, Grant activated and inserted the Ghost Ridewatch into his Driver. "Prepare yourself!" he shouted as he spun the driver, allowing the GhostArmor to appear and form around the red Chrono Rider as he converted his bow.
ARMOR TIME! KAIGAN! GHO~ST!
However, before Grant could continue his assault, Sora was struck by a steel trident. As the young man got up, he came face to face with a black armored figure with yellow shoulder pads, a black cape, and a yellow helmet with the symbol of Zi-O on his helmet.
"Awww…the king isn't here with you?" the figure whined, "That's very disappointing…" "Who the hell are you?!" the young man demanded. "Call me Mort, the Horseman of Death…" the figure answered, earning a scoff from Sora. "Mort? What kind of a name is Mort?" This ticked off the armored figure as he growled "It's French for death, you moron!" he growled as he corrected his snickering opponent.
Meanwhile, as Grant prepared to finish off the Another Rider, a large fireball courtesy of Decade struck him. He had transformed into a red knight-like Kamen Rider, with a black torso armor that had silver plates on the pecs and stomach, and a silver faceplate that had a grill over the red compound eyes on his helmet along with a golden dragon head-shaped symbol on it. Tsukasa was using the power of the dragon of the Rider War known as Kamen Rider Ryuki, and in particular he was using the head of a red metal dragon to shoot the fireball that hit Grant.
"Looks like I came here just in time…" the destroyer of worlds noted as he walked towards the two, "I was told to protect this guy, and it looks like he's taking care of your friend…" 'Friend…' Grant wondered in his mind before realizing that Sora was in danger. "Again I ask, why are you doing this Decade?" Grant asked. "Nothing personal kid…" he casually answered as he took out a card that depicted a bat-like Rider and placed it into his Driver, "But it looks like this would be better for fighting you..."
KAMENRIDE: KIVA
Soon chains begin to form around Tsukasa before shattering to reveal he had transformed into a black body suit that had a silver vest with a high collar, a blood red chestplate that had faux chest muscles, shoulder pads that resembled folded bat wings, red gloves, and his right leg having a silver iron boot that reached the knee and was chained up in order to hold back the red bat wings within. The new form that stood before Grant and Makimura was Tsukasa's Kamen Rider Kiva form. "Two Ghosts and a Fangire…" the destroyer noted, "Quite the monster mash, don't you think?"
He soon ran at the red Chrono Rider and went on the assault alongside the Ghost Ganma while Mort kept Sora busy. Returning to the two, Sora then took out the Beast Ridewatch and activated it before placing it into the sword.
BEAST!
FINISH TIME!
"Give me strength!" he shouted as he pressed the trigger and summoned forth a falcon to attack Mort.
BEAST! GIRI GIRI SLASH!
However, Mort simply used his time stop ability to simply walk out of the way of the attack. "What the?!" he shouted in disbelief. "You know, you're getting way over your head with getting involved in this mess…" he taunted. This made him pissed off as the two clashed weapons. "I could say the same for you…Horseman…" Sora retorted after breaking a blade block and landing two slashes on him before switching to the Gaim Ridewatch and performed a series of slashes that created the kanji for evil in orange energy.
Back with Grant, he was doing his best to fight off both Makimura and Tsukasa as they teamed up against them. Soon, Grant launched several Parka Ghosts at the Another Rider and the destroyer, but they were ready for him as Makimura performed an action to turn a few of the Ghosts against him, while Tsukasa slotted in a new card into his Driver.
FORMRIDE: KIVA DOGABAKI
This caused his arms to change to a wolf-like blue on the left and a merman-like green on the right before his chestplate transformed into a more solid Frankenstien-esque purple. With this new form, he summoned a wolf-themed sword and a merman-like pistol as his new weapons before he attacked the red Chrono Rider.
"Come on, let's see you try harder to save your king!" Tsukasa taunted as he kicked him back. "Me?! Save him?!" he said in shock, "Oh please!" However, this opened him up for a slash from the destroyer. On the ground, Grant began to struggle as Tsukasa drew yet another card into his driver, this one being a golden card. "The finisher…" he declared as he placed it into the Driver.
FINAL ATTACKRIDE: KI-KI-KI-KIVA
"Look out!" Sora shouted as Tsukasa kicked his right foot into the air while the sky became with only a full moon to illuminate the world. The chains on his leg soon break open as revealed blood red bat wings. As he and Makimura leaped into the air, Sora rushed to his friend's aid and put himself into the path of a double flying side kick from the two with only Rex's Zikan Gilade to defend himself. Grant, seeing what the young boy was about to do, soon pushed him out the way and took the finisher at full blast, the explosion knocking both of them out of the way while the Ghost Ridewatch…exploded…just like the Another Ridewatches. "Dammit…" Grant growled as both he and Sora tried to get up before Tsukasa turned to the spiky haired boy. "Here, you can have this in exchange…" he told the young boy as he tossed him the pink Decadriver before leaving.
As Sora grabbed the Decadriver, he noticed the very same glow that Tsukasa saw and was shocked. "Is..that…the..D-D-D-Decade Rider Link?" Grant asked him as they finally got to their feet. "Yeah…I think…" Sora noted as they stared at the Driver.
"Now remember, the destination is the day Makimura died, okay?" Danny asked me while he was at the wheel of the Time Mazine alongside Weiss, who was left behind by Grant and Sora and my body being placed on a nearby bench. "That's right…if the date on his Another Rider form is by any indication, he was born in 2015" she noted as she looked at the time circuits. "Time displacement system, activate!" Danny shouted as we travelled three years into the past. "We've got to save Mika's brother…" Danny grumbled. "You think this will work?" Weiss asked me, to which I responded with "It has to be…because I have no idea what to do if it doesn't…"
Once we arrived to the timeline, we saw everything that Mika had told us about. "Over there!" Danny shouted as we spotted Mika and Makimura. "If what Mika said was true, the girders should be falling off by now" I noted as I saw said girders being sloppily held on to the ropes of a crane. So when we saw the girders begin to fall, Danny performed a Ganma-enhanced Ghostly Wail that launched the steel objects away from any civilians. "Nice!" I shouted as I felt my spirit begin to return back into my body.
"Mika!" Makimura shouted as he ran to his sister, "Are you okay?" "Whew…that was close…" Danny sighed as he went to the two siblings. "You alright?" he asked her. "Yeah…" she answered, "Did…did you just save me?" He nodded as he gave a smile as Weiss gave a thumbs up
I gasped for air as I jerked up and looked at my body. "Welcome back to the land of the living, mate…" a familiar Scottish voice greeted me, "You again?" I asked as I saw the Scottsman standing in the Time Mazine. "Boy…you've messed with the timeline quite a lot haven't you…" he noted as, "You know that when you bend time…it always has tends to snap back…"
"Thank you…" Makimura thanked him as everyone began to leave for the present…only to be met by Mort instead. "You mind not interfering?" he asked the group in a condescending manner, "I hate when people like you stick their noses where they don't belong…" "Who are you?" Weiss asked as he revealed the Ghost Ganma Another Ridewatch and activated it.
GHOST…
He soon called several black creatures with blue eyes and a purple eye belt buckle. "You've gotta be kidding me…" Danny groaned as Weiss prepared her FaizPhone X's blaster mode. "Get back!" Makimura shouted as Danny and Weiss fought against the Ganma mooks.
"Danny!" a female voice called out as he saw a young woman a bit older than Danny, at least in this current time, who was fighting against the other mooks. "Jazz! What are you doing here?" he asked her. "Uhh…duh! Shopping for groceries!" she told him as she showed a poly bag filled with various food items, "But first, let's kick these Ganma's asses!" "Alright, I'm going Ghost!" Danny declared as he activates his Eyecon. "Time to summon the Specter!" Jazz shouted out as she summoned her own Ghost Driver and activated her own Eyecon, this one having a blue symbol that had an S instead of a G.
The two siblings soon placed their Eyecons into their respective Drivers as both the Ghost Parka Ghost, and a blue version of it known as the Specter Parka Ghost.
EYE!
BATCHIRIMINA! BATCHIRIMINA! BATCHIRIMINA!/BATCHIRIMINO! BATCHIRIMINO! BATCHIRIMINO!
"Henshin!"
KAIGAN! ORE!
LET'S GO! KAKUGO! GHO-GHO-GHOST!/READY GO! KAKUGO! DOKI DOKI GHOST!
GO! GO! GO! GO!
As Danny transformed into his Ghost form, Jazz was able to transform into a female version of her brother's base form, with neon blue lights, a yellow version of the Ganma symbol, and a scary blue helmet with black slanted eyes and two horns. This was Jazz's Rider identity, Kamen Rider Specter.
"My life is burning bright!" Danny declared as he took off his hood and leaped back into the battle. "Let me show you my way of life!" Jazz shouted as she did the same action. The two ghost siblings soon began to fight against the mooks alongside Weiss. Danny began to fight using more of his Ganma half of his abilities by flying around and enhancing his attacks with his Ganma abilities, while Jazz was focusing more on her weapon, a large rifle-like staff with a large hand at the end and its capabilities along with trying not to spill the contents of her bag.
"Stay back!" Makimura shouted as he shot one of the mooks while Weiss gave cover fire. "Thank you…" he said to the young girl. However, as the cop got tossed away, Jazz arrived and scanned the eye on her weapon to her Ghost Driver.
DAI-KAIGAN!
GAN GAN MIRO!
"Take this!" the female Rider shouted as she creates a large projection of the hand on her weapon and brought it down on the mooks.
OMEGA SMASH!
"You two alright?" Jazz asked the two as Weiss nodded. Meanwhile, Danny pulled the lever on his Driver once more, charging his foot with orange spiritual energy.
DAI-KAIGAN!
ORE! OMEGA DRIVE!
"Say goodnight!" he shouted as he leaped into the air and landed a flying side kick on the mooks, destroying them in an instant. Mort sighed as he saw Mika rush to her downed brother and stopped time. "What the hell are you doing just standing there?" Conquete growled as he saw Mort, "Just put the watch in already!" "I got it, I got it…" the young man sighed he walked up to Makimura and placed the Another Ridewatch into it.
Time soon resumed as Danny and Jazz saw that Makimura had disappeared. "Crap, it's already started!" he shouted as he and Weiss went to try and find the Another Rider. "Danny!" she shouted before going upto Mika, "Hey, could you please watch over this for me?" she asked as she gave the bag to the young girl before running after her brother. "Good, time resumes on its intended path…" Conquete noted before leaving.
"Grh!" I growled as I felt myself being pulled apart. "What…what's going on?" I pondered aloud. "Looks like the Ghost Ganma was reborn into the timeline…" Isaiah noted as he walked towards us. "Ah, Isaiah! Good to see you again!" the Scottsman greeted. "Same here McGruff…" he replied. "Wait, you two know each other?" I asked in disbelief. "Yeah, we used to work together during the rebellion…" Isaiah told me. I was confused until I was blasted right out of my body.
"Danny, wait up!" Jazz shouted as she, after changing back to her normal form, tried her best to keep up with both Danny and Weiss. "Crap, he got away…" he noted as he tried his best to find his Another Rider counterpart before her sister arrived and glared at him. "Alright, what did you do this time?!" she demanded. "It's…it's a bit complicated…" he told her before Rex's spirit showed up.
"Did it work?" I asked them as he nodded. "Yeah, it worked…" he answered as I noted that before turning to see Jazz and almost losing my mind. "Wait, Jazz Fenton! The Blue Devil?!" I shouted in disbelief. "It's been a while since you fanboyed over seeing a veteran Rider" Weiss sighed. "Oh boy…a fanboy ghost…perfect…" Danny's sister groaned. "Actually, he was just knocked out of his body" Weiss clarified, confusing her even further.
We soon explained everything to her as we went back to the past version of a nearby park, where Sora and Grant was waiting for us. "How's Zi-O?" Grant asked us. "No change…" Weiss groaned. "I've never heard of any Ganma or ghost with the ability to steal souls before…" Jazz noted as she examined me with some kind of scanning device. "I'm sorry for getting you guys in all of this trouble…" I apologized to the group. "It's fine dude…"
"So, are there any changes to the Rider Link?" I asked him as he shook his head. "What's going on?" Sora asked him. Danny soon took out his Ghost Eyecon, right at the time as it began to glow for a bit before dissipating. "Looks like you guys are already on the path to unlock my Rider Link, but it seems that you guys are missing…" he noted. "Well that's not the only one…" Sora noted as he took out…a pink Decadriver? Actually, upon closer inspection, I noticed that the symbols for W, OOO, Fourze, Wizard, Gaim, Drive, Ghost, Ex-Aid, and Build added to the symbols of Heisei Riders.
"Turns out this thing is the Decade Rider Link" Sora explained to us, "Tsukasa tossed it to us after destroying the Ghost Ridewatch…" "Wait what?!" we all gasped in disbelief. "Yeah, Grant took both of Tsukasa and Makimura's attacks and the Ghost Ridewatch blew up, just like an Another Ridewatch." "So our Ridewatches are just as much at risk of being destroyed as the Another Riders…" I grimaced. However I soon shook this off as I prepared myself.
"Come on, we got to save Makimura!" I told everyone as Sora stopped me. "Wait, are you seriously trying to kill the man?" "Don't worry, we took care of that complication already…" I told them as I turned to Danny. "We were able to prevent his death in the original timeline, so once we defeat him he should revert back to normal…" Danny explained. "You guys went to the past to save his life?" he asked in disbelief before massaging the bridge of his nose and groaned, "This is Karin all over again…"
As Sora gave a sigh of relief, the Ghost Eyecon finally began to glow consistently as its energy began to travel to both Grant and I's Ridewatches, creating both a new Ghost Ridewatch to replace the old one for Grant, along with a brand new one based on Specter for me. "Nice, we unlocked the Rider Link!" I shouted before I realized something. We have an extra Driver now thanks to Tsukasa…one that can also copy the Rider powers just like the Ridewatches.
As I wondered what to do with the device, I saw Grant was staring at Sora for some reason. "Sora…" he said as he looked towards the guy, "Remember when you said that we need all the help we could get?" He was surprised that he brought that up. "Tsukasa gave that to you, even if it was after destroying one of our Ridewatches, which means that he sees something in you…" Wait; is he saying what I think he is saying? I soon got my answer as Grant said a phrase that was both haunting, and inspiring…
"Sora Irino, do you have the courage to ride with the devil?"
Everyone gasped as Sora looked at the Neo-Decadriver, which I'm gonna call it, and nodded as he slapped the device onto his waist. "Good, now then…" he said as we prepared our gear, "Time to bust some ghosts!"
As the four of us leaped into the Time Mazine to fly towards a nearby accident sight, we were blindsided by both Famine's Captain Mazine and Guerre's Doran Machine. "Not these guys again!" I growled as we landed near a warehouse. "You know that you guys jumping around the timestream is getting kind of annoying?" I heard the little cretin taunt as we were forced to make a crash landing while the two enemy Time Mazines transform into their mecha modes. "We aren't letting you get away…" the Horsewoman growled as they moved in for the kill.
"Looks like we got no choice…" Grant noted as he slapped on the Zikyu-Driver while Danny sat on a nearby seat and brought up a new HUD that monitored the status of the mecha. "Ready for this Sora?" I asked him as we did the same.
ZI-O!
GEIZ!
"Henshin!"
KAMEN RIDER~! ZI-O!
KAMEN RI~DER! GEIZ!
With our mechas ready for battle, we all soon engaged in a two-on-two mecha battle as we clashed in a fist fight. "Change watches!" I shouted to Grant as I activated the Ex-Aid Ridewatch, giving my mehca the Gashacon Breaker Knuclkes from my Ex-AidArmor.
LEVEL UP! EX-AID~!
As I began to wail on the Captain Mazine, making Famine confused, Grant switched his Ridewatch of his Time Mazine to Genm, allowing him to use the magnificent bastard's respawn pipes for teleporting attacks.
LEVEL UP! GENM~!
"Where is he?!" Gueere growled as he leaped into the air and landed a flying side kick. "Let's use the 2017 Riders!" Grant shouted as he activated the Cross-Z Ridewatch, signaling me to do the same with the Build Ridewatch.
WAKE UP BURNING! CROSS-Z~!
BEST MATCH! BUIL~D!
With a new Drill Crusher Arm and a giant Beat Saber, we soon began to overwhelm the enemy Time Mazines before taking them down with a double flying side kick. We got out of the mechas as we spotted Makimura attacking several construction workers. "You ready Sora?" I asked him as he nodded, "Ready as I'll ever be…" he responded.
As he and Danny stepped forward, Sora opened the Neo-Decadriver and drew out an identical version of Tsukasa's henshin card while Danny activated his Ore Eyecon once more. The ghost boy soon placed the Eyecon into his Driver and closed it up while Sora just stood there.
EYE!
BATCHIRIMINA! BATCHIRIMINA! BATCHIRIMINA!
"Henshin!"
With that shout, Sora soon placed the card into the driver and slammed it shout alongside Danny, who had pulled the lever to initiate his transformation.
KAIGAN! ORE!
LET'S GO! KAKUGO! GHO-GHO-GHOST!
GO! GO! GO! GO!
KAMENRIDE: DECADE
The Ore Parka Ghost soon appeared and formed around Danny as 19 different silhouettes, each with a symbol of the Heisei Riders, appeared and combined with Sora to create his armor before several black 'cards' came out of the driver and attached itself to the helmet, making the armor change colors from black to a hot pink. Sora was now in full-body armor with an x-shaped black line outlined with white that spanned from the right shoulder to his chestplate. For the first time ever, Sora had transformed into our world's version of the destroyer, Kamen Rider Decade…or Neo-Decade to be exact.
"Woah…this feels…weird…" Sora noted as he looked at his new armor. As the Another Rider charged forth, we all ran in and began our assault, "We're bringing you back to Mika!" I shouted as Sora and I performed a double slash attack. As the battle continued, the Ghost Ganma soon summoned several Ganma mooks to try and disperse our ranks. "You gotta be kidding me!" I roared as I took down several mooks, "What's with all the mooks?!"
Unfortunately for us though, who should arrive but Mort. "Why must you Riders get in our way…?" he growled once more as he prepared his trident. "We're kind of a stubborn bunch…" Grant joked as we engaged in a four-on-several battle, leaning into the enemy's favor.
"Just quit while you can punks…" he taunted again, "Not on your life…" I answered. "Even if your path will lead to destruction?" he asked us as he used a powerful attack. Sora and I's response? "You're wrong Mort, our bodies may be broken, but our spirits will never die!" Sora shouted as he blocked the attack. "Our hearts will stay with our friends! It'll never die!" I added in before I pressed the button on my sword.
TIME CHARGE!
GOU, YON, SAN, NII, ICHI!
ZERO TIME!
Meanwhile, Sora drew a brand new card which depicted Decade holding his sword as a pink trail of energy emitted from it, and placed it into his Driver.
ATTACKRIDE: SLASH!
"We'll show you…the power of our bonds!" we cried out as we leaped towards Mort and
GIRI GIRI GIRI!
With our weapons ready, Sora unleashed a flurry of thirteen slashes on him on the ground while I performed a savage multi-hit combo that left various holographic clocks after each strikes.
ARS SOLUM!
ARCS ARCANUM!
With the final strike, we were able to knock him back a good distance as he used his trident to stop him.
As the battle went on, Tsukasa watched the various combatants from atop a nearby building. "You aren't going to join the battle?" Isaiah asked the destroyer as he walked next to him. "I got the gist of those guys…so I might as well observe from high up" he told them. "Are you sure about that?" the resistance leader questioned him, "You'd be surprised what they can do…"
Sora and I soon shared a high-five as Mort got up and growled "Damn you! Who the hell do you think you are?!" We soon nodded as Sora stood up to the plate and said…
"I'm just a passing-through Kamen Rider, remember that!"
All of a sudden, several cards floated out of Sora's Ridebooker that depicted…me?! I was shocked as I saw a KamenRide card of myself, four FormRide cards based on my normal RideArmors, an AttackRide card based on the Time Charge, and both a Final AttackRide card, and a Final FormRide card. On top of that, Sora's own Decade card began to glow and feed into one of my Ridewatches, creating a strange magenta Ridewatch with Decade's face on it, and a slot for another Ridewatch to go to.
"Heh, this is gonan be fun!" I declared as I pressed the button on the watch, creating the usual holographic display along with the added card sound. Grant soon saw what was going on and took out his Faiz Ridewatch while Danny took out a red Eyecon.
D-D-D-DECADE!
FAIZ!
I soon slotted it into the device as I did a quick spin, while Sora placed the Zi-O card into the Driver.
"Ganbaride!"
This caused a ring of cards to appear around me before transforming into pieces of the DecadeArmor and forming around me. Once the transformation was complete, I was now in a very bulky magenta-colored armor that resembled Decade along with the name a barcode on the x of my chest plate, and a screen for a helmet that had a Decade-like helmet with the katakana for his name on display.
ARMOR TIME! KAMENRIDE! WOW! DECADE! DECADE! DECA~DE!
With Sora, I saw the usual watch straps form around him until he was left in my base form sans the Zikyu-Driver or any other Ridewatches on the holders.
KAMENRIDE: ZI-O
KAMEN RIDER~! ZI-O!
Finally, Grand and Danny slotted in their respective items before activating the transformation, Grant gaining the FaizArmor, while Danny's suit was engulfed in flames, leaving him in a red and black version of his base from with fire accents on the suit, a fiery version of the Ore Parka Ghost, and his eyes looking like flames. This was Danny's power-up form, Kamen Rider Ghost Toucon Boost Damashii.
ARMOR TIME! COMPLETE! FAI~Z!
TOUCAN KAIGAN! BOOST!
ORE GA BOO~ST! FURITATSU GHO~ST!
GO! (FIGHT!) GO! (FIGHT!) GO! (FIGHT!) GO! (FIGHT!)
"Alright, time to ride the wind!" I declared as we all continued to fight Makimura and his minions, as well as Mort. "You know, after Green Rex's visit, I'm not surprised to see another version of myself fighting by my side…" I commented to Sora as I tossed a mook into him. "I can tell…" he replied before placing a card into his Driver.
FINAL FORMRIDE: GHO-GHO-GHO-GHOST!
Once he performed a parting motion on Danny's back and said "This might tickle a little bit…", Danny began to transform into a smaller version of the Iquana Ghostriker mode, which was a large mechanical mass with a motorcycle back, and some mechanical iguana head, limbs, and tail. Sora soon got on and rode the Ghost Iguanastriker as it began to rip and tear into the mooks like it was nothing.
Meanwhile, I decided to try to try and summon my Zikan Gilade, only to get a brand new silver sword that had a watch strap design, a pink blade, the name of the weapon written in katakana on the base, and a clock with movable hands on it. "Sweet!" I cheered as I began to cut down the mooks before taking out my Zikan GIlade and performing a thirteen-hit combo on Mort.
'Alright, let's try this second slot!' I thought to myself as I activated the Build Ridewatch.
BUILD!
Once I placed into the Decade Ridewatch, I saw that my bodysuit had changed to more resemble Build's RabbitTank Sparkling form, along with the name of said form on appearing to swap out the barcode.
FINAL FORMTIME: BUI-BUI-BUI-BUILD!
"Alright, the laws of victory are definitely set!" I shouted with glee as I continued my assault on the mooks. "Wait, you have extra forms with that Rider Armor?!" Sora called out as Danny, who changed back to normal, destroyed a group of Ganma mooks. "I guess!" I shouted as I used the enhanced jumping ability and arm blades I gained from this form to perform a jumping cross-slash on the guy. I then summoned the Drill Crusher Arm from my normal BuildArmor to thrust both it and my new sword into the guy before confronting Makimura.
"I swear to reunite you with Mika!" I shouted to him in an attempt to reach out to him. However this instead made him use some of the souls he collected to power him up. 'Let's see what this blade can do…' I thought as I turned the hand twice.
HEY! EX-AID!
Once I pulled the trigger, I performed a two-hit combo that left behind the same HIT graphic that the Ex-Aid Riders would leave behind before a GREAT hit graphic appeared after a much powerful slash.
EX-AID! DUAL TIME BREAK!
I then turned the hand twice once again, allowing me to launch the Tire Koukans for Max Flare, Midnight Shadow, and Funky Spike at the monster.
DRIVE! DUAL TIME BREAK!
"It's useless to even try!" Mort shouted, "Even if you prevented his death, the Another Ridewatch will lock his consciousness away!" "That won't stop us from trying!" Grant retorted before taking out the Ghost Ridewatch. "Rex! Use this!" he called out to me as he tossed me the Ridewatch. "Thanks!" I shouted as I activated the Ridewatch and swapped it out in place of the Build Ridewatch.
GHOST!
FINAL FORMTIME: GHO-GHO-GHO-GHOST!
This changed my bodysuit to match Ghost's Greatful Damashii, complete with a new name on my chestplate and a new set of abilities. "Come on Sora, Danny, let's finish this!" I called out as the two joined me.
"So Kadoaya…" Isaiah asked the destroyer, "Why did you give Sora the Rider Link?" "Because…" he answered as he got up "…there's no fun in beating on wimps. Besides, he does need to obtain this power at this time, just like Sougo before him…" "Sougo?" the resistance leader asked in confusion, only to get a single phrase as his answer.
"The original Zi-O…"
As Sora, Danny and I wailed on Makimura, Grant had already activated his Time Charge to take down several mooks, leaving behind a phi symbol as they exploded.
5, 4, 3, 2, 1!
ZERO TIME!
ZAKKURI WARI!
"Guys, finish it!" Grant called out. "Right!" I shouted as I placed the Decade Ridewatch into the sword before spinning the hand three times.
FINISH TIME!
HEY! KAMEN RIDERS!
HEI-SEI! HEI-SEI! HEI-SEI! HE-HE-HE-HEI-SEI!
Sora later joined in as he drew a golden card with Ghost's symbol and placed it into his Driver.
FINAL ATTACKRIDE: GHO-GHO-GHO-GHOST!
"Our lives…are burning bright!" Sora and I declared as Danny transformed into the Ghost Iguanastriker before grabbing Makimura and tossing him our way, and allowing Sora to perform a spiritually-charged Superman punch while I landed a powerful double slash that was lined by symbols of all the Heisei Riders sans Decade and myself.
D-D-D-DECADE! HEISEI RIDERS! ULTIMATE TIME BREAK!
DECADE GANBARIZING SCRAMBLE!
DECADE GHOST BREAK!
This was enough to destroy the Another Rider and finally free Makimura without killing him. "Grah! I'll be back!" Mort growled as he ran off to lick his wounds. Good riddance… "Whew…it's over…" Danny noted as we all changed back to our civilian identities.
I soon woke up inside the Time Mazine once again, as Weiss and Jazz were waiting for me. "Thank goodness you're back!" my friend said in a sigh of relief, "So you guys beat the Ghost Ganma?" "Yep, and we got the Decade Ridewatch too…" I reassured her. "So, how does it feel to be back in your own body fanboy?" Jazz asked me. "Hungry actually…" I admitted.
After we had all returned to the present, we watched Mika say hello to Makimura once again and, after the initial incident, the construction company that was working there had become a lot more secure thanks to Tucker recognizing how unsafe that area is. Later on, we said our goodbyes and, after reuniting with Kairi and Selphie, began on a long walk to Gadgetworks for a sleepover since it was too late at night for Sora and the others to return to their homes.
"So how was your first day as a Kamen Rider, Sora?" Selphie asked our newest Kamen Rider, having heard the story of Sora becoming Neo-Decade. "Crazy…" he replied, "I know that I've joined in on some of your fights before, but this one was absolutely crazy!" "You'll get used to it…" Grant told him. "Wow, so Sora is our world's Decade…" Kairi noted, "That's great! Now we have another Rider to help us against the Horseman!"
"We're home!" I called out as I saw Penny come to greet us. "Hey guys!" she said, "Long day?" "Yeah, absolutely…" I noted as I took off my shoes, "Ah, Sora, Kairi, and Selphie are going to stay with us, is that okay with you guys?" I asked. "It's fine cuz!" she reassured me as she turned to the three" Come on guys, uncle Gadget's made dinner!"
However as everyone else went into the kitchen, Penny pulled me aside to tell me "Oh, and don't worry Rex, we still have leftovers for you…" "Why's that?" I asked her before we entered the kitchen…and found Tsukasa finishing my meal like it was normal.
"What the?!" I gasped as everyone immediately got on the defensive. "Woah woah woah woah guys, don't worry!" Penny told us, "It's not like he's here to hurt you…" "What are you doing here?" I asked him as he took a picture of all of us. "Spoilers…" he said before turning to uncle Brown. "Thanks for the meal. It was delish" he thanked my uncle. "Bah, it was nothing special!" he said to the veteran Rider, "Come again though!" before I heard him mutter "We're a repair shop though…"
As he began to leave the shop, I quickly ran to him. "Wait a moment!" I called out, "Can you please tell me why you're working with the Horsemen?" "Oh…right…" he noted, "I hear you want to be king…" "Yeah, so?" I answered in a confused manner. That's when he came upto me in a menacing manner and said "That'll never happen, because the only future this world is heading towards…and it'll be its destruction by my hands…"
"I'm won't let that happen…" I told him with a stern look, making the destroyer genuinely surprised at my answer. "Then show me Rex Wells…" he told me as he began to leave, "Show me that you have the conviction to become the King of Time…" I then looked at the Decade Ridewatch that we had just obtained and muttered to myself…
'11 Riders left…11 Riders to save from the Calamity…'

SONG: STYX HELIX – English Cover by AmaLee
/Oh, please don't let me die
Waiting for your touch/
Several calendar pages began falling from the sky, each with one of the symbols of the Heisei Kamen Riders printed on it.
/No, don't give up on life
This endless dead end/
The camera soon pans down to Rex standing along on a Station of Awakening-like platform before the light caused the screen to fade to white.
/My hourglass is cracked – And it's my life
Spilling out, blowing over like sand/
When it returns, it instead shows the four protagonists holding a Ridewatch in their hands as Rex looks towards the sky
/Just like the feelings I have grown to love…How quickly they can all fade away/
Grant looks at his own Ridewatch before putting it away and noticing his friends from the future around, before they begin to fade away leaving him all alone.
/Is it too late to say.
(I wish I was there)/
Afterwards, it shows a mysterious woman in a cloak turn towards the audience and speak the words before the scene pans towards the clock above her.
/Oh, please don't let me die
Waiting for your touch/
It soon transitions into panning shot of the various Heisei Kamen Riders starting with the first nine Heisei Kamen Riders leaping into battle.
/I'll never – Not ever
Feel what it's like to lose you
Even if I have to forget who I am and …
"RE: START"/
Soon their civilian identities appear alongside them, albeit they are all greyed out and appear as silhouettes instead except for Makoto.
/No, don't give up on life
This endless dead end/
The shot soon ends when Decade turns towards the audience and throws a Rider Card at the screen
/And just this - I will wish
All of your pain and sadness
Fades someday.
I hope to brush it away/
It soon changes into a zooming shot of the card flying forward while the nine Neo-Heisei Riders appear and perform their signature poses, with their civilian identities that are performing their henshin poses are greyed out except for Dexter, Kevin, Naruto, Taran, Shin, and Izuku.
/For now, I'll see you off/
The shot ends with Zi-O catching the Rider Card as he looks at it and then turns to the sky once more.
/Unless I pray for a new day
Then I know/
As the camera pans out, Zi-O changes back into Rex while the scenery changes to the platform from earlier. Meanwhile, the various Heisei Kamen Riders in their civilian identities appear one by one in random places of the platform.
/Unless I pray for a new day
I'll lose you/
Rex, and by extension the other 19 Heisei Riders, then turn towards the camera as they showed their respective transformation trinkets.
AUTHOR'S NOTE:
Hey guys, Hacker here! Welp, we're almost at the end of the first season. It's been a blast but, I'm going to go on a bit of a hiatus on this story in order to finish Mystic Legends. You guys have been waiting long enough for the next chapter of that story, so I'm gonna be putting off writing the final arc for Season 1 and giving my other fanfic some care.
But for now, let's focus on this chapter. Now, if you haven't noticed, Mort is actually a combination of Tid and Kassin, with Tid being the main character of adaptation with the abilitiy to use Kassin as a suit of armor. As for Sora, ever since introducing him in the first chapter I have wanted him to join the fight as an active character especially since the Neo-Decadriver is barely used in Zi-O proper, so that's why Tsukasa is sticking with his regular Decadriver for the majority of his apperances in this fic. In terms of the Ghost/Danny Phantom content, it was tough choosing who would become Specter but, hopefully, you like the whole sibling dynamic I tried to pull with Jazz becoming the Blue Devil.
Also the whole Blue Devil nickname is a little nod to striberx, since in his fanfic Ghost of Remnant Specter is given that nickname by the world of Remnant due to his look and the fact that him hunting criminals like the White Fang down. Yeah, even if this isn't a full-on fanfic crossover, I still like to add winks and nods to some of the writers in the KR FF fandom.
With all that said, see you next time where Mort returns with a vengance, a new-yet-familiar Another Rider makes it's debut, and Rex confronts the Calamity for the first time ever. Until then, this is HackerEX logging out! See ya!
