Barcode Twenty Six: Going Full Speed to the Heavens...Kabuto's Song

"Look guys, the reason I didn't tell you was because I was worried how you guys might react. Plus I do have secrets I have to keep to myself."

"I guess so, but you can't be lying to us like this. You need to be upfront about these things."

"Yeah, plus we have to trust each other."

"You're right, I'll be more honest about this."

"Alright, since you guys are here I'm heading out to visit Kabuto. Alone."

"Sure, let us know what happens. I need to sleep."

"Fine. See you all later."

Leo disappears and heads towards another portal. He ends up in another city that is overrun by Worms. The people run away trying to avoid these swarms and police create barriers to prevent them from breaching the city. Leo ends up in the middle of it all and is forced to fight them all.

"Damn, what a bad time for me to be here. Transform!"

"Kamen Rider, Decode!"

Decode slashes the Worms while trying to save as many people as possible. He pulls out two cards and prepares another transformation.

"Kamen Rider, Phi!"

He then pulls out the other card for the next transformation.

"Form Rider, Axel!"

"Start up."

Decode in his Phi form attacks all the Worms quickly with no effort but the Axel timer runs out and he is forced back into his Phi form. From behind him he sees a girl that is about to be attacked. He tries to help, but time freezes before he can reach. He then sees Kabuto in front of the girl and time continues. He moves the girl to a safe place and proceeds to attack all the other Worms.

"1, 2, 3."

"Rider Kick."

"Rider Kick!"

His final attack finishes off the rest of the Worms while Decode uses his Phi form to finish off the others.

"Final Form Rider, Phi!"

The Worms explode as the two Riders power down and stare at each other for a while.

"Who are you stranger? I've never seen you in these parts."

"How much time do you have for the whole story?"

Leo walks Charles through the whole situation, who he is and how he got to the city. Charles listens patiently as Leo shows him his Decodriver and the cards he uses.

"So, I'm guessing I'm in a world right?"

"Yeah, this is a world like any other and it's in danger."

"I see. It seems the sky cries louder than before."

"What?"

"It's a saying."

"Okay, so what do you think of that?"

"Well, I love a challenge. My grandma would say never slow down. Even as gravity tries to take you, let your wings fly free."

"Okay, so what now?"

"Well, I have some people you should meet. They'll want to hear about this."

Meanwhile back at the Shocker fortress, a group of combateers work on a machine that has been worked on for thousands of years. Kalamide, Cyderas, Arachnis, and Ambassador look from their posts and laugh with glee.

"Well, looks like we'll be done sooner that we know."

"Yes. All we need is that mischevious moron and we'll be done."

"Absolutely. Soon we will wipe out all the Kamen Riders and they will suffer before me."

"Yes. And now we prepare for the invasion! Hahahahahahaha!"

Back at a restaurant called the Sea Lounge, Charles prepares food for Leo while two strangers approach Charles with a friendly manner.

"Hey Charles."

"Hey man, what's up?"

"Right on time. So, guys, this is Leo. Leo, this is Devon and Trevor."

"Nice to meet you both."

"Feeling's mutual."

"So what's going on here man?"

"Leo has some distressing news for us. We'll need to pay attention."

"Is it about the Worms?"

"No, it's about something worse than that."

"Really? Well, I'm all ears."

"Very well then. What I'm about to tell you is something that will affect your world and others like it."
