Sorry for the delay here are the Final Fights! Kevin / Ryuk VS Vent / Alternative II and Leo / Knight VS Baron / Zolda II
Chapter 24 - Final Fight
Knight and Zolda II immediately began running alongside each other, Zolda firing repetitively while Knight deflected the shots with his sword visor, they ran down the cliff and disappeared into the mountainous valley.
I turned to Alternative II who nodded "Giving off flames from your standard form…the red V-Buckle is a nice touch, points for originality."
-SWORD VENT- Two blades shot out of the sky and we each caught one. "Well Kamen Rider Ryuki, looks like this is our fight."
"Goodbye, Vent." I ran at him and slammed my blade against his, the force pushed him back and I jumped over him, then spin kicked him in the back. Alternative stumbled forward and swung around to stab me, I side stepped the blade and tackled him, hard and to the floor. As I rolled away he got up and tossed the blade at me, I sidestepped it only to be tackled by Alternative and the two of us tumbled down a cliff, crashing through protruding rocks and boulders before hitting the floor. I sprang up and turned as Alternative yelled and charged through the trees, slashing me several times before lifting himself with the sword and hitting my face with both legs. I tripped and landed near my sword, quickly picking it up as Alternative leapt through the trees and fell upon me, both blades clashed again and I used my legs to kick the artificial rider off of me.
He flipped in the air and landed on his feet as I got up and nodded "You are strong Ryuki…" I charged at him and spun, forming into a tornado and heading for Alternative, he held his blade at an angle and tried to hold off the tempest, he gave in and I struck his chest countless times before stopping, flipping the other way and tornado kicking him to the ground.
"I am strong, I know that, I also know that I will kill you here, Vent."
Knight flipped over a boulder that was destroyed by Zolda's blaster, he landed amongst a bunch of trees and Zolda shook his head -SHOOT VENT- As he fired into them and destroyed them, Knight jumped into the air and brought the blade down against Zolda's shoulder. Instead of falling back Zolda rammed the bazooka into Knight and knocked him over before aiming at him and firing at point blank. The explosion was powerful and Knight was dragged through the earth, he stood as Zolda charged and tried to run him over.
Knight leapt over the massive rider and turned to hit the bazooka with his blade, Zolda fired as Knight ran his blade down the massive weapon and made a powerful and wide black slash across Zolda's torso. There was a furious spark shot as the giant stumbled back before firing at Knight who dove aside jumped into the air and threw the blade at Zolda who dodged it easily. It was then that Knight spun and brought one leg crashing down on to Zolda's shoulder. With one arm out the gun fell and Knight flipped back to his feet. As Zolda tried to punch him with his other arm, Knight jumped over the attack and rolled past his blade, then he stood up, took it out of the ground and dashed at Zolda who turned around and took another black slash to his upper body.
Alternative stood up and ran at me, this time he dodged my attacks more fluidly before jumping over me and ramming his shoulder into my back, as I stumbled I heard -ACCELE VENT- He ran right towards me and in a flash I felt many impacts all over my body before being thrown into the air. He appeared before me with his sword in hand and brought it across my side in a wide vertical arc; he was trying to cut me in half. There was an explosion and I was thrown back into the forest. I got up as he ran right towards me and tackled me over before getting up in a flash, turning and drop kicking me on the back. He quickly rolled back and picked me up, spun me around and rammed my head into a tree.
I fell to the ground and turned as he picked up his sword "I'm not going anywhere Ryuki; you have grown but not enough to take me on."
"Did you forget? I could've killed the original Alternative if it wasn't for Gai; your problem here is you don't have Wheel Vent or a Fake Survive!"
I rolled away as Alternative sliced the tree in half "I don't have them because I don't need them!" I jumped away from another attack, picked up my sword and charged at him, our blades collided and I spun around him before slashing him in the back. He took one step forward and swung around tried to kick me with his legs. I dodged back and as he landed he brought the sword around and got me across the chest with a horizontal attack. As I fell back he leaped towards me and pushed me down on my back with both hands before front flipping off me and turning to kick me in the head. He then grabbed my neck and dragged me along the ground just like Destwilder before ramming me into a tree.
-LAUNCH VENT- Zolda tracked Knight with his endless barrage as the bat rider jumped from tree to tree. Zolda finally destroyed the tree right below Knight as he launched into the air, before he could land elsewhere Zolda tracked him and shot him midflight. Zolda followed the fallen rider's trail to a riverside with huge boulders and a wide clearing. He noticed Knight as the rider tried to stand up and shot him full force multiple times. There were explosions against Knight's armor as he dropped his sword, fell to his knees and then flat on his face.
"Tch, not even worth my time if-" Knight stabbed Zolda in the back as the fallen Knight crumbled into dust. Zolda turned to face the copy and two more Knights leaped out of the trees and slashed Zolda down both his sides. The center Knight leapt and corkscrew kicked Zolda in the chest, throwing him down on his back. He detached the shoulder cannons and fired his blaster into two as the third one dove away.
He got up and turned around to three more that slashed him furiously and fast with the massive blades. The one that escaped leapt out of a tree and as Zolda fired and destroyed him the other three rammed their blades into his chest letting off a powerful shock blast as he stumbled back and rapidly shot all three of them multiple times.
"Trick Vent never dies with you, right Knight?" The three stood up as two more came from behind Zolda. As they all moved in to cut him, he leapt high into the air and shot them all in the heads, as the clones vanished, the real Knight jumped out of the trees towards him. Zolda stopped the blade with his palm and as they fell he kicked it away and shot Knight in the stomach.
Zolda crashed on both his feet as Knight rolled off -HOME VENT- "Try to run away from me this time Knight! Just try it!" He unleashed three seeking missiles and Knight ran as fast as he could through the trees.
He doubled back causing one to crash and explode against a tree, he tackled Zolda and the last two crashed into both of them. Zolda closed the seeker launcher and fired the normal bazooka missiles. Knight stepped away as the earth erupted and shot through the smoke, jumping and punching Zolda in the face. The rider stumbled into the river and fired a shot at Knight that collided with his arm.
The blast blew Knight away and he fell on a boulder, Zolda brought himself to a stop in the shallow river and fired, the boulder exploded and Knight was sent rolling across the ground. Zolda trailed him and fired, there was another explosion and Knight was thrown, slamming his back against a tree. The impact of his spine shook through his whole body and he fell to the floor struggling to load another card as Zolda stepped out of the river and aimed his bazooka at the rider's head.
I got up to take more slashes from Alternative then another high kick. As I hit another tree he slashed right through me. The tree fell apart and I turned slowly, Alternative spun back and I stopped his blade by grabbing it, taking it from his hands and tossing it elsewhere. I tackled him to the floor and while holding him down, bashed his face in with my fists before linking both hands and bringing them down right on him.
I rolled away and he got up slowly, I picked up my sword again and ran it right into his stomach, I kept moving in and then pinned him against a tree drawing another rain of sparks from his stomach. -STRIKE VENT- I pulled the sword out hard and another stream shot out, as he stumbled away my Dragredder unit attached to my arm and the dragon created a circle of flame in the trees locking us in it. I launched a jet stream of fire from my unit as Dragredder fired from above, both forces ramming into Alternative and exploding against him.
Dragging the sword along the ground I ran towards Alternative who was covered in the brilliant red flames, I jumped and in a spin attack hit him with a whirl of furious vertical slashes. There were more cracks and explosions from Alternative's artificial system and he stumbled back. I placed the Dragredder unit against his chest and there was a burst at point blank that separated both of us. He was thrown through the fire wall and I crashed into a solid tree.
Alternative stood up and let off more spark shots. He pulled out another card and slid it along his arm unit, it burned away instantly -ADVENT- Psycorogue III tore through the trees, I got up in time to see the robot change into its motorcycle form and go into a wheelie, ramming me against the tree with its front wheel revving up on my chest, there was an intense burn and spark shower before it reared up and rammed the wheel against my chest, the tree cracked and fell apart with the force and I fell aside. Alternative leapt onto Psycorogue and drove towards me as I tried to stand, they impacted my side and I was thrown through my own fire wall and rolled along the ground in flames.
I got up -SUMMON VENT- Bull appeared and ignited before dashing towards Alternative and Psycorogue, there was an explosion and the bike went flying through the air while Alternative was launched in another direction. Bull stumbled back, tripped and fell on its side.
-NASTY VENT- Zolda looked up and forgot about Knight for one second before firing, Knight moved aside an inch and the missile hit the tree, the explosion and wood debris shot out everywhere and Knight sailed into the air and was rescued by Darkwing. Zolda turned to the flying pair -LASER VENT- the powerful red lasers shot out towards the bat but it swiftly avoided before making a wide loop and tossing Knight who held his huge blade ahead of him, he dove in between the two lasers and the sword sunk halfway into Zolda resulting in an explosive spark shower from in front and behind the rider. Zolda stumbled back and gripped the edge of the sword and instantly recalled Verde whom he stabbed with the Magnagiga Horn.
"Such irony…" Grant said as blood seeped out of his lips "Such cruel fucking irony!" he gripped the sword and tried to get it out before falling to his knees and coughing. Zolda looked up at Knight -FINAL VENT- he jumped into the air and Darkwing linked up with him "Hishouzan!" the spiral bullet shot down and into Zolda resulting in a massive explosion.
When the smoke cleared, Zolda still kneeled in front of Magnagiga whose center was torn apart and the inner workings were shooting out sparks as they malfunctioned. "Magnagiga…" Zolda gasped out.
Knight backed away as Zolda roared and tore the blade out, he threw it straight into a boulder with such force it sank deep in. "Knight…even if I win…in this condition, Ryuki will do me in much too quick…" -FINAL VENT- "End of the World!"
Magnagiga's arms raised and all its weapons except for those on its chest opened up. -SURVIVE- Knight made a huge back flip onto Darkraider -=-FINAL VENT-=- his wings shot out and enfolded the pair "Shippudan!" the missile dove straight into the barrage of bullets, rays, beams and missiles and tore through them and straight through Magnagiga before into Zolda, there was a double explosion then an aftershock followed by another explosion of the earth around the area making a late response.
-FINAL VENT- Bull got up and lit up again before charging towards Psycorogue III who began spinning as Alternative II jumped on him "Dead End…" the tornado pair raged into Bull who exploded and then into me, the impact force lifted everything around us and I was sent into the sky and crashing elsewhere.
I struggled to get up as my armor flickered and I remembered Scissors and Imperer, their armor flashed before exploding. I turned to Alternative as half of my helmet armor cracked and crumbled off. Using my own eye I looked straight at the referee of the Rider War "Why aren't you dying!"
-FINAL VENT- "Because…Vent…I have something to fight for." Dragredder flew by and I leapt into the air "Dragon!" Dragredder enveloped me in flames "Rider!" I shot through the air at the shocked Alternative and my foot connected with his chest "Kick!" there was a massive force between us that erupted and covered the forest area in Dragredder's red flames.
Alternative II was on the floor in the burning area coughing "I lost…oh well…I had no real reason to fight in this war other than…than…"
He noticed Ryuki and laughed weakly "You may win this…at this rate you-" at that moment the Alternative armor gave out and exploded violently. The deck flew straight towards me and I caught it. I turned to Psycorogue which was approaching slowly "I have one last card…"
-ADVENT- Dragredder's sword tail sliced Psycorogue III in half and the robot exploded instantly as well. I walked through the flames with Dragredder flying above me.
Zolda was in a mountain, he was dug in their by the force of being pushed by Shippudan. There were massive cracks branching out from him all over the massive mountain. The black and white rider was silent and Knight turned away "It took everything…didn't it Knight…"
"Almost everything Grant…you gave everything…I'm sorry to tell you it was worthless."
Grant looked at Knight as his vision became extremely fuzzy "Father…I-" behind Knight the armor flashed and the explosion traveled through the cracks and the entire mountain began falling around Knight as he walked away from the spot.
As Dragredder and I gained sight of Knight Survive and Darkraider the entire battlefield became a wasteland much like Alternate World or a very huge desert. "You didn't need Survive for Alternative II eh?"
"I never thought for a second that I needed it…you however…" Knight shrugged at my response "Magnagiga blocked me the first time, that won't happen here though."
As I turned to face Knight I aimed my sword at him and asked "What happens if you die?"
Knight pulled his dagger out of the sheath visor "If I die? I won't be missed; I am after all…just a Kamen Rider."
The scorching flames reached my skin that was open due to the hit from my previous battle. I tried to focus just on Knight as we began pacing "Janie…I can swing a sword, I can fight…but that means nothing if I can't focus and think…one more time, help me." As soon as my thought finished I charged straight towards my final opponent: Kamen Rider Knight.
As I raised my blade he ran at me and quickly jumped to the left as I swung. I tried to bring it around in his direction but he jumped over me, flipped and landed. As I turned back he delivered a glowing black slash from his dagger and I fell to the ground.
-SWORD VENT- The dagger extended and widened into his broadsword, he approached me as I stood up "Whether or not Alternative was strong…he clearly left a mark on you."
I stood up and turned in time to deflect a powerful slash form Knight, I flipped over him and he spun and slashed me in mid air, I fell on my feet then stumbled back and tried to slash him but he sidestepped and stabbed me again. My armor gave way and broke off as I fell back to the ground; he grabbed me by the neck and lifted me into the air.
"I bet you really regret throwing away the Rekka Wing now eh Ryuki? That wasn't one of your smartest moments." He threw me in the air jumped after me and made a wide diagonal slash, the shock threw me into the wasteland dirt and I rolled over off a cliff. As I landed on my back I saw him shoot over, flip and land near me.
"I don't regret throwing away the Rekka Wing at all…I can access the True Survive all on my own…I don't need it like you do, Knight." I ran at him and ducked below the blade then took a stab at him with mine but he guarded with the sheath visor and kicked the side of my head, as I stumbled away he grabbed my arm and brought me back to slash me again and throw me into the air, landing on the back of my head.
"So you want to die to be with your girlfriend? Is that really it? That's sad, but if it's what you wish for then I'll gladly grant it." As the sword came down I held out mine and he sliced right through it and stabbed through my armor and into my stomach.
As Knight pulled the blade out he turned away "I don't think Jake ever told you but I didn't attack you and Femme the other time for no reason, it was so I could get to Ryuga, it's probably too late now but that was a mistake on my part."
I slowly stood up and flames engulfed me "Apology accepted…" -=-SURVIVE-=- As he turned to me my dragon grip opened up and the golden blade shot out in a fury of red flames. I spun it around and charged towards Knight, both blades hit hard and the earth around us cracked.
"Your True Survive form 1HKO'd Ryuga…but that doesn't scare me because you have been severely beaten by Alternative and then even more so by me, your body can't keep up."
I pushed the blade past him and he jumped away "Well then, let's just see about that!" I swung at him and he flipped away, the area I hit exploded in flames and he spun around then dashed at me. He slashed against my side and I quickly moved away, ignoring the blow I slashed at him again. This time he leapt right over it and came back down with a vertical cut that I dodged by diving to the left, as his blade hit the ground I got back up and turned.
He charged at me and swung hard, forming a powerful gust that picked me and shot me through the air. He launched up and as I passed, and struck me with a solid vertical slash I was thrown straight back down to the ground with a crash.
I stood up as Knight flew down and stabbed the blade into me; I stumbled back and knelt down breathing hard. He shook his head "You are strong but you have no endurance, without it, this battle is mine."
As he approached me I slid another card down my blade –SHOOT VENT- The blade vanished and in another fury of flames a large barrel appeared I aimed and fired a stream of fireballs in Knight's direction. He deflected as many as he could before they began exploding around him and he began backing up. One hit him in the chest and exploded against him. He sailed through the air and tried to flip to land on his feet but another fire blast caught him and he was thrown into the earth and then dragged through it.
He tried to stand as I jumped into the air and fired all around him, there were many explosions before he flew out towards me, covered in flames. He stabbed me in midair and there was a spark blast, I held the blade and fired into him at point blank. The explosion in the air threw both of us to the ground; we crashed and formed two craters in the earth.
-SHOOT VENT- Knight turned around and fired multiple shots at me as I stood up slowly, the arrow like beams stabbed into me and exploded in white flashes on contact. He ran towards me while firing and I tried to deflect them with my visor's barrel. As he neared more began striking me then he jumped into the air, flipped and kicked me in the face and to the floor.
-BLUST VENT- Darkraider flew in from the sky and a powerful blast of wind rammed into me, Knight jumped into the current and sailed towards me, the force of the wind shot him straight into me with his blade, there was a massive shock and pain in my chest are as the wind slowed down and stopped. I aimed right at Knight as he pulled the dagger out of me and fired into his chest in return. The first blast pushed him back and the next volleys exploded into bright red flames that covered his armor again.
-SWORD VENT- Fire whirled around my other hand and a red blade appeared, as I ran towards Knight and leapt, the sword caught fire and I brought it down across him. The flames caught onto him and spark streams shot out of his armor as he stumbled back and fired his piercing shots into me again.
I tried to ignore the piercing lines and white flashes and fired at him, there were many collisions of our shots in between us and behind us, finally an arrow tore through one of my fireballs and into my side, it cut straight through and I felt it on my own side within the armor. As I knelt down he ran towards me, the bow and arrow weapon returned to its broad sword form and he dragged it across the earth. With a rising attack I was thrown into the air. He jumped up after me still holding the blade above him and brought it down, the vertical black wave shot out and it dragged me through the air and into then through the earth before exploding in a black flash.
Knight pulled another card out and placed it into his sheath –ADVENT- Darkraider flew past him and picked up Ryuki, looping in the air before crashing down into the earth and forming a massive crater. As the land around Knight uplifted and cracked he raised his sword and ran towards the fallen Ryuki, jumping, spinning and bringing the sword down with a powerful stab into his back.
With Ryuki stuck to the ground he pulled out the last card -=-FINAL VENT-=- "This is it Ryuki, I've won the Rider War, just like I was supposed to."
I struggled to stand up but the blade was deep in my own back, I felt blood seeping out of my mouth and pushed back against the ground which caused the sword to sink deeper into me –ADVENT-
Knight sped towards Ryuki on Darkraider and noticed Dragranzer flying towards them, several fireballs hit the motorcycle and is spun out and fell over, throwing Knight to the floor. Dragranzer flew over Ryuki and tore the blade out of his back allowing the dragon rider to stand and turn to Knight as he stood up as well.
"You can't stop me…" he got back on Darkraider and whirled around before driving towards me and extending his wings. –BLAST VENT- "I can and I will stop you Knight, because I have to win…"
Energy gathered around my fist and it swelled into my flaming red blade which then erupted into a fire tower. I ran as the wings enfolded my opponent "Shippudan!"
"Blast Flame!" I brought the sword down right on the missile and the fire tower exploded and cleared a massive crater around the pair, there was another explosion in their place and both rider and beast were thrown in opposite directions, skidding over the earth.
Knight stood and shook himself off before falling to his knees again "Such power…he stopped my Final Vent…" the bat raider got up and drew out his dagger as it changed into the broad sword again and charged towards me. I faced him and ran, dropping my flaming blade, as we neared each other he brought the blade at an angle and I launched my fist towards him. I raised my other arm and allowed the blade to dig into my side, cracking into my armor and skin before hitting him in the chest with my Blast Vent fist. His chest armor cracked and along with the rest of the Survive it broke off, I leapt and the energy travelled from my fist to my leg, I side kicked him in the stomach and the explosive force threw him back and over into the ground, creating craters as he skipped across it like a rock.
The broadsword was still in my side but it dissolved away and I coughed, I could feel the blood all over my mouth and chin within my armor, with Knight down I stumbled and fell to my knees using one hand to keep me from falling to my face.
Knight stood up slowly but fell down to his back as he felt his chest and stomach, his whole upper body was shattered by the Blast Vent impacts. He ignored the pain and stood up, there were many jarring cracks he could feel but he got up and reached for another card. "Ryuki…you really are the strongest rider…" –FINAL VENT-
-=-SOUL VENT-=- Before he could jump into the air BlancAngel appeared and flew into him, paralyzing him "What…what is…this!?"
I stood up slowly and looked at Knight "What I am fighting for…or rather…who I have been and always will be fighting for!"
-=-FINAL VENT-=- Dragranzer transformed into a motorcycle and crashed right next to me, I got on and took off towards the frozen Knight "Dragon Firestorm!" Darkwing flew in the way of Dragranzer's fire blasts and took several of them before one tore clear through it and the bat exploded.
Knight watched the color in his armor fade and tried to move, the fireballs from Dragranzer crashed all around him and the heat flared up. Ryuki brought the top wheel right down onto him and the sounds of explosions, the heat of the flames and the red of the fire crowded his vision.
When I got off I turned to see Leo lying on the ground, the Knight Deck was already in my hand and I walked over to the rider.
"I lost the Final Fight…I somewhat expected that since I really didn't have anything to fight for…in the end the better man won it seems." Leo nodded towards me, his clothes were tattered and he was clearly coughing blood during the battle as well.
"It's over for me but you still have a ways to go Ryuki…no, Kevin…remember that." I nodded as Leo went limp and the image of the rider faded into the armor. My True Survive broke off as well as I turned around and walked away, much too tired to go on, but with everyone but me gone, there was still one fight left to go and I didn't think I could win it like this.
There was an explosion behind me and I fell to my knees "Farewell, Leo…" I looked up "Now…I must face Kamen Rider Odin…"
I stood up and looked around the wasteland which was covered in craters, the earth was cracked and ferocious flames only grew in the intense heat when I noticed someone walking towards me. I turned and instantly knew it was Odin…or at least I thought.
"Jake…you came…but…how did you find me? Or how did you even know where to go?" I asked.
My friend just smiled "I remembered everything Kevin, I remembered who I really am…and that is why I am here…"
He reached into his back pocket and pulled out a shining golden deck with a phoenix image on it. Any feeling of happiness I had changed to dread "Jake…you are Kamen Rider…Odin?"
He just grinned and threw the deck into the air "Apparently so…" lightning wound around his waist and transformed into a golden Vent Buckle. He reached up and caught the deck and then he slid it into place and it began to glow like the sun. He looked at me with the same grin that he always had but now…it seemed like something worse.
"HENSHIN!"
In the golden glow mirror images of Odin came from all around and fused with Jake, the golden rider stood tall and looked up as a lightning strike passed right in between his fist and a staff appeared, no doubt that was his visor. He pointed at me and laughed "This is the end…of everything…Kamen Rider Ryuki…"
Oh gosh now the final final battle Kevin as Kamen Rider Ryuki vs his best friend Jake who is Kamen Rider Odin, next chapter is nothing but them fighting! Hope you enjoyed this one and hope you all enjoy the next one ;D
