Chapter 28: Day of the Decade
Celebrating three years of success on "The Next Decade"…
At Ben's House, the entire Alliance of Ten was busy training with each other. Ben watched with SHIELD Director Phil Coulson as Melinda May and the rest of his Team were brought in to help train the members of the Alliance, with the exception of Fitz and Simmons.
"We have to be ready for anything now," Ben said to Coulson. "Kat now knows about the Potis Altiare, and she's probably already told Ronin about it too."
"It means two things," Phil said as Max came over. "We have to double our search, or Kat probably went back to Ultimate Dai-Shocker with nothing."
"Coulson's right," Max said. "Neither Kat nor Ronin know about how to find each piece of the Potis Altiare, so we just might have some advantage here."
"But Ultimate Dai-Shocker is an organization of terrorists from the Multiverse," Sayo stated. "They could try to ransack the Earth for the pieces, and we wouldn't have enough power to stop them."
"Which is why Jimmy, Wade, Fitz and Simmons are working on decoding the map from when you went to retrieve the gem from the Colorado Basin Desert," Phil said as he looked to Tucker working with Jimmy Jones, Wade Load, Leopold Fitz and Jemma Simmons at a table in a room nearby. "We're lucky that Ultimate Dai-Shocker can't hack into our systems."
While May went on to train with Ruby, Will joined Kim, Danny and Robin as they walked over towards Ben.
"There's also Gideon Malick, Giyera and Lucio to worry about," Kim said. "Those two he has under his control… they were some of the strongest students of the Seraph Corps back in my World."
"We hardly stood a chance against Giyera the last time," Will added on. "We're going to need an edge, maybe travel the Worlds again."
"We're still trying to gather as much forces as we can here," Robin said. "Team JNPR is out trying to form a pact with the Forever Knights, and as of now, Rai and the Tai Chi Chasers have been the only known Team from another World we've made contact with. We need another edge."
At that moment, Ruby was knocked away by May.
"Remember, don't rely too much on your weapons or Semblance," May said. "There's a strong Telekinetic with Malick, and he can take your weapon at any time."
"Or, quite possibly, turn your Crescent Rose against you," Jemma Simmons chimed in. "Based on the data of Giyera, he was a mercenary before he was recruited into the Seraph Corps, and he used his powers to turn guns and weapons on all of his enemies."
"So much for stealth and strength, I guess," Ruby mused as she went to get her blouse from the sofa. She put it back on over her red jersey before walking to meet with Ben and the rest of the Alliance. "So, where do we start in getting the last three pieces of the Potis Altiare?" she asked.
"We've just finished scanning the map, and we have a location," Wade said. "Strangely enough, one of the signals is fading in and out of our sensors."
"And it's a match from the map of the pieces of the Potis Altiare?" Ben asked.
"Positive," Simmons replied. "Wade, Jimmy, Tucker, Fitz and I compared each image of the map we got, and this is exactly the same."
Ben nodded as he grabbed his jacket. "I'll check it out," he said as he went out to the garage. "My future self told me that I could learn magic like Gwen, so I could teleport myself back if the thing is a dud."
"Oh, speaking of, I made some adjustments to the Machine Decader," Fitz said. He got up and looked to Sayo. "Sayo, you have the Card, right?" he asked.
"Per your request," Sayo said as she handed Fitz a Card. "Jimmy and I worked extra hard on it."
"What is it?" Ben asked as he came over.
"A new AttackRide Card we made called MotorWing," Fitz explained. "Using one of Yang's Golden Grace Performers, we managed to create something that can allow your bike to travel at even greater speeds and even fly."
"Hence the MotorWing name," Ben mused as he looked to the Card. "Thanks, guys," he said as he walked towards the garage. "I'll put it to good use." He called out as he placed the MotorWing Card into his Ride Booker.
"Let us know if you need backup," Will called out. "Malick might send Giyera or Lucio after you."
"I'll be sure to do that," Ben said as he mounted the Machine Decader. "If FitzSimmons, Wade, Tucker or Jimmy pick up another signal, make sure you find it before Ultimate Dai-Shocker realizes how we're finding these pieces."
The entire Alliance of Ten sent Ben a salute, in which Ben returned the favor. He started up the Machine Decader and rode off, looking to the flashing beacon on his screen.
"Okay, Ben, relax. Calm yourself," Ben said to himself as he rode out of Bellwood into the countryside. "The Potis Altiare is made of seven pieces. We have four so far, and Ultimate Dai-Shocker has no way of finding out where the other three can be located."
Suddenly, in front of Ben came what appeared to be a tornado with lightning coming out from it. Ben gasped as he tried to apply the brakes. However, his wheels started to glow, and he soon found himself riding into the tornado, spinning around wildly.
Ben yelled uncontrollably before he landed down on the ground. He looked around to find himself outside of Bellwood completely. Everything around him was now replaced with trees, large plants, and rocky terrains.
"We're not in Bellwood anymore," Ben said as he took off his helmet and looked around. He dialed onto his Omnitrix and placed it near his mouth. "Guys? Do you hear me? I think I know why the Potis Altiare Piece was fading in and out now. I might need backup."
Much to Ben's surprise, static came through instead of the voices of his friends in the Alliance.
"And… I can't get in touch with anyone," Ben said to himself as he put his helmet back on. He started up the Machine Decader once again. "Better take a look at where I am."
Ben started the Machine Decader and rode off. He pressed a button on his handle and turned his bike, as well as himself, invisible. As he rode along, a compartment within the Machine Decader opened up and the hilt for his Neo Ride Booker, his RideSaber, appeared. He continued to ride before seeing tire tracks on the ground. Immediately, he came to a stop and investigated them, scanning the tracks with his helmet.
"The tracks are fresh," Ben noted. "Six vehicles; a car, a tank, a bike, an All-Terrain Vehicle, a compact, and… the Machine Decader?" he asked himself, feeling uncertain about the last vehicle.
All of a sudden, Ben heard some metal clashing. He looked up before seeing blaster bolts, cards and arrows fly through the air before seeing what appeared to be a standard Ultimate Dai-Shocker Grunt fly through the air and hit a tree.
"That doesn't seem normal," Ben said to himself as he rode over. He rode as fast as he could until he saw the five out of the six vehicles he made out in front of him. He turned his attention to another Machine Decader parked next to them before seeing what appeared to be another Kamen Rider Decade fighting off against who he could make out as General Shadow and the Paradoxa Undead, as well as a humanoid lion with battle gear and an Arm-Mounted Crossbow. "And neither does that!" he exclaimed before placing the Decade KamenRide Card into the Decadriver and placing it onto his waist. "Henshin!" he called out.
"You guys hear that?" a teen in a purple suit asked.
"What did it sound like?" a dark-skinned teenage girl in a green suit asked as she looked to the teen in purple. "The Reverb's engine running again, Stanford?"
"Very funny, Agura," Stanford spat. "But what I meant was… we're not alone."
"You sure about that?" a skinny teen in a blue suit said.
KAMEN RIDE: DECADE!
"Stanford's right, we're not alone!" a blonde teen in a red suit said as he looked around before Ben leapt over them with his Neo Ride Booker drawn.
"Who is that?" an Asian teen in a yellow suit asked. He looked to the red-suited teen. "Vert?"
"No idea, Zoom," Vert replied. "But he looks just like Decade!"
The Kamen Rider Decade that was fighting against General Shadow and the Paradoxa Undead converted his Ride Booker into gun mode, forcing the two back. However, the other Decade did not see the lion humanoid shoot an arrow towards him. Ben, however, landed just in time and grabbed the arrow before using his own Ride Booker to shoot back.
"Huh?" the other Kamen Rider Decade asked.
"Another Decade?" Ben asked as he turned to the other Kamen Rider Decade. "Interesting."
"What is this?" the lion humanoid asked.
"Just what I was thinking," the other Kamen Rider Decade said before he and Ben took out their Ride Bookers again. "But… not enough to distract us from you, Kalus!" he exclaimed as he and Ben opened fire on the lion humanoid, General Shadow and the Paradoxa Undead.
"Vert, what do we do?" the skinny teen in blue said. "Two Kamen Rider Decades!"
"Let's go!" Ben and the other Decade called out as they charged towards General Shadow, the Paradoxa Undead and Captain Kalus.
Ben slashed down at the Paradoxa Undead while the other Decade shot at Captain Kalus. Vert watched with intent before reaching for his car. He took out a red sword and charged into the fray with Zoom.
"Other Decade, I am General Shadow," General Shadow said as Ben kicked away the Paradoxa Undead. "I am—"
"A high General of Dai-Shocker, I know," Ben said before shooting at General Shadow. "I've faced you and Paradoxa here before."
"We have not met you before, but you shall meet your fate!" General Shadow spat as he tossed cards at Ben.
Ben picked up several rocks and tossed them back at the cards. He leapt into the air and landed a dropkick onto General Shadow, knocking him back. Ben did not notice the Paradoxa Undead charging at him until Vert raced over and slashed the Undead across the chest.
"Thanks," Ben said as he glanced over to Vert. "I owe you one."
"Look out!" Zoom called out as he blocked General Shadow's sword. "You owe us more than one now, stranger."
The other Kamen Rider Decade and Captain Kalus clashed sword and spear with each other, with the second Decade backing Kalus away. Ben joined in and punched him in the chest before Zoom kicked him away. Vert, Ben and the other Decade aimed their swords at him afterwards.
"This is not over yet, Organics!" Captain Kalus called out. "Dai-Shocker will rule over us all!" he proclaimed before backflipping away towards his vehicle. Everyone watched as he took off with other vehicles following him.
"With the distractions out of the way…" Ben started out before he and the other Decade aimed their Ride Booker Guns at each other. "Who are you?"
"That's my line!" the other Decade replied in a thick English Accent combined with Japanese. "Who are you?"
"Ben Tennyson, Kamen Rider Decade, The Next Decade, the leader of the Alliance of Ten," Ben introduced himself. "Who are you?"
"Kadoya Tsukasa, Kamen Rider Decade, Destroyer of Worlds, Connector of Stories." The other Decade responded.
"Tsukasa?" Ben asked. He and Tsukasa lowered their weapons and opened up their respective Decadrivers. "No way!" he exclaimed upon seeing Tsukasa alive and healthy.
"An American Kamen Rider?" Tsukasa asked. "Haven't they tried that before?"
"Okay, what is going on?" a muscular teen in the same blue suit as the skinny teen asked. "Care to explain, Tsukasa?"
"This man claims to be Kamen Rider Decade, but I would never turn over the title of Kamen Rider Decade to anyone," Tsukasa said. "Where did you get that Decadriver from?"
"From you," Ben said. "You're the one who gave… or… will give it, I guess… to me."
"Where did you come from?" the muscular man asked.
"Sherman, calm down," Vert said. "I trust this guy."
"I was riding the Machine Decader, tracking down an energy signal, when I entered some kind of electric storm," Ben explained. "That's how I ended up here in Jungle Junction."
"You crossed here through time, in other words." Vert stated as he looked to a cube levitate from the seat of his car before it shone bright while the others directed their attention towards Ben. Even Tsukasa was interested in him.
"Heh, I like this guy already." The skinny teen mused.
"Ease up, Spinner." Agura said.
"I called this place the Animarium when I first arrived, but I like your style." Tsukasa joked.
"Technically, the correct term is the Vandal Homeworld," a blue female figure said as she walked over. She had strange glyphs on her, and she was emitting a bright light. "Hello, Kamen Rider."
"I don't know why I would hand over my Decadriver to you, but I suppose it would be for a good reason," Tsukasa sighed as he walked up to Ben. "You must be doing a good job as Kamen Rider Decade."
"Thanks," Ben said before looking to the rest of the teens and the extraterrestrial. "So, who are all of you?"
"I'm Vert Wheeler, leader and co-founder of the Battle Force 5." Vert said, introducing himself first.
"Co-Founder?" Ben asked. "You mean there was already a Battle Force 5 before you?"
"It comes from Sentient Legend," Vert said. "We're just the newest version."
"And the Sentients are…?" Ben trailed off.
"There are Blue and Red Sentients throughout the Multiverse," the blue extraterrestrial explained before she introduced herself. "I am Sage, second co-founder of the Battle Force 5, and member of the Council of Five."
All of a sudden, the Omnitrix started to beep. Everyone looked to it while Spinner jumped back in surprise. It soon started to scan Sage.
"What's happening?" Vert asked. "What are you doing?"
"The Omnitrix hasn't done this in a long time," Ben said. "I can't stop it. It's out of my reach."
"So advanced!" Sherman awed.
"Unknown DNA source detected. Scanning. Blue Sentient DNA registered to Codon Stream."
As soon as the scan of Sage was finished, Ben looked to his Omnitrix to see a hologram of Sage appear before it faded away.
"What just happened?" Stanford asked. "Was that supposed to hurt Sage?"
"When the Omnitrix discovers news DNA Sources, it scans it," Ben explained. "In this case, since this was the first time I came across a Blue Sentient, the Omnitrix scanned her. No harm done, I promise."
"I'll ask about that later," Tsukasa spoke up as he walked over to Ben. "You said you came through time, right?"
"Right," Ben said before he started to look around. "Are you the only Rider here? Where's Natsumi, Yuusuke and Kaito?"
Tsukasa's eyes widened when he heard Ben say all of the names of his allies. He remained quiet.
"We'd better get going," Agura said. "Kalus may have been defeated, but he'll be back, and with greater numbers too."
"I know the feeling," Ben said. "They always come back in greater numbers."
From a distance away, Kamen Rider Soul Archer was watching everything. He could not hear what was being said, but his targeting scope was focused on Tsukasa Kadoya only.
"Master, I have him in my sights," Kamen Rider Soul Archer reported as he continued to lock onto Tsukasa. "Just give me the order, and I'll take down Tsukasa Kadoya before he knows what hit him."
"Don't. We may still need him," a voice replied back, causing Kamen Rider Soul Archer to slowly lower his Archer Blade. "Stay hidden, and until I give you the order, do NOT attack."
Kamen Rider Soul Archer nodded. "Understood," he said. "I'll keep to the shadows."
Ben and Tsukasa looked to each other as they walked towards their Machine Decader Bikes. While the rest of the Battle Force 5 got into their vehicles, Tsukasa accidentally went to Ben's Machine Decader while Ben made his way towards Tsukasa's Machine Decader.
Tsukasa gripped the handlebar on Ben's Machine Decader, accidentally uncovering the hidden weapons array while Ben noticed nothing happen with Tsukasa's Machine Decader when he tried the same thing.
"That one's mine." Ben said as he walked towards his Machine Decader.
"Gomen Nasai," Tsukasa said in Japanese as he made his way to his own Machine Decader. "My mistake."
"So… how do we get out of here?" Ben asked. "We wait for another tornado?"
"It's called a Stormshock," Vert said as Sage went back into her hibernation mode. "And don't worry. We have a Battle Key that can bring us back to Earth. Unfortunately, it won't be in your time, Ben."
"No problem," Ben said as he noticed his Decadriver glowing. "I feel like this is yet another World I have to go to, and my job here isn't finished just yet."
Ben and Tsukasa both started their Machine Decaders while the rest of the Battle Force 5 drove off. Ben and Tsukasa drove off after them as they saw a Stormshock opening.
"So, Ben, this Codon Stream thing… is it Alien?" Sherman asked.
"You can say that," Ben said. "I had a different form of a hero before I became the next Kamen Rider Decade."
"But you've met other Aliens, right?" Spinner asked.
"Right," Ben responded. He turned to Tsukasa. "So, where are your other allies? They help you out when Space Shocker attacked?"
"They… they're travelling on their own now," Tsukasa replied. "Just like I am right now."
Ben's smile lessened. Before he could ask anything else, he, Tsukasa and the Battle Force 5 rode through the nearby Stormshock back to Earth.
On Earth, the Stormshock from the Vandal Homeworld opened up in Handler's Corners. Sheriff Johnson, the police officer of the small town, was driving around until he noticed Vert and the rest of the Battle Force 5 arrive in town with Ben and Tsukasa behind them.
"Wheeler!" Sheriff Johnson called out. "You had better have an explanation for this!"
"For what, Sheriff Johnson?" Vert asked as he stopped the Saber and rolled down the window to talk with the overly paranoid police officer.
"Your darn garage is lighting on and off. I hear all kinds of machinery at work in there, and lots of pizza deliveries under your name!" Sheriff Johnson exclaimed before turning his attention to Ben and Tsukasa. "And who are your new friends?! They part of your delinquent gang too?!"
"I'll take care of this." Ben said as he took out an AttackRide Card depicting Danny in Ghost Form entering a man's body. He placed said Card into his Decadriver.
ATTACK RIDE: OVERSHADOW!
"Oi!" Tsukasa whispered. "Nani wo suru?"
"Just watch." Ben said as he turned intangible. Tsukasa watched with bemusement as Ben flew towards Sheriff Johnson while Stanford drove up as well in the Reverb.
"Oh, these two? They're with us, but they follow the law, I swear." Vert said.
"Will that be all, Sir?" Stanford asked. "If there's a commotion at the garage, we need to check it out."
"No one comes into my town unnoticed!" Sheriff Johnson ranted as Ben suddenly overshadowed his body. "I'm telling you, Wheeler—"
"Telling us what?" Agura asked as Sheriff Johnson stopped mid-sentence. His eyes turned green under his shades.
"That it's fine for you to bring in some new friends." Ben said in Sheriff Johnson's body.
Vert and Tsukasa both looked to each other with confusion.
"You feeling alright there, Sir?" Zoom asked.
"Oh, I'm mighty fine, thanks for asking," Ben/Johnson replied. "I guess I can let you off for now. Just keep those two in check and make sure they eat healthy. I have to go back home and check on the wife. She's gonna go ballistic if I don't come back with her cream pie."
"O—Kay…" Vert said awkwardly. "Thanks. I guess we'll see you around, Sheriff."
"You too, Wheeler," Ben/Johnson replied as Tsukasa and the Battle Force 5 started to drive away. He twiddled fingers at Vert. "Go Mach Full Force any time you want!" he called out before Ben left his body.
Tsukasa looked back to Ben. Ben started his Machine Decader quickly and caught up with the Battle Force 5 right away before Sheriff Johnson's eyes went back to normal and he started to come to.
"Whoa, that was strange," Sheriff Johnson said as he placed his hand to his head. "Boy, the Wife must be getting to me," he said before looking around frantically. "I'm dead if I don't come home with that cream pie!" he exclaimed before driving off to Zeke's Diner.
"So, your base of operations…" Ben started out. "Everyone knows about it?"
"The Garage, yes," Stanford said. "What's underneath it is another story."
"We'll show you." Tsukasa said as he drove in front of Ben.
"Guess even the lonely need a team to interact with." Ben mused as he raced on after Tsukasa.
Everyone reached a large garage. The doors automatically opened up before a hidden lift appeared. Tsukasa and Ben drove their Machine Decaders onto one of the lifts while the rest of the Battle Force 5 got onto another. Soon, the seven vehicles were on their way down to the secret Base of the Battle Force 5.
"What do you think has been going on here?" Agura asked as she looked around. "Sure hope Tezz and AJ have been keeping a low profile."
"Judging from the pizza boxes," Ben started out as he saw either empty or half-empty pizza boxes on the tables lying around. "I'd say they were working on something that probably required a break or seven."
"Let's just get off," Vert said. "We can ask them ourselves."
"AJ, make sure that those wires connect properly," a voice with a Russian accent ordered. "If the Splitwire and the GearSlammer are to properly connect, you must follow my exact instructions."
"Sorry, Tezz," AJ said in his Canadian accent. "But are you sure we're doing this correctly?" he asked as Tsukasa, Ben and the Battle Force 5 got out of their vehicles and headed over towards where the two were working.
"What seems to be going on here?" Vert asked.
"We were trying to create a new system that allows all of our vehicles to combine with the use of the Fuser," Tezz explained. "So far, we've had no success," he added on before looking to Tsukasa. "Oh, Tsukasa. I see you came back in one piece. Drove back Dai-Shocker, no doubt?" he asked, receiving a nod from Tsukasa. Tezz grinned before looking to Ben. "And who is this?" he asked.
"Ben Tennyson," Ben introduced himself. "The Next Kamen Rider Decade." He added on before showing his Decadriver and Ride Bookers to everyone.
"Nani?" Tsukasa asked. He took out his Decadriver and his only sole Ride Booker.
Ben opened up his normal Ride Booker, as did Tsukasa. Everyone watched as Ben and Tsukasa placed the Ride Bookers in sword mode before converting them to Gun Mode. Ben grinned and took out his other Ride Booker, forming the Mega Cannon with it first before forming the RideSaber. Tsukasa looked to Ben's sword with astonishment before pouting.
"Big Sword." Tsukasa mused.
"Your system gets some upgrades later on," Ben said as he and Tsukasa closed their Ride Bookers. The two tossed them into the air and placed their Decadrivers and Ride Bookers back into their jackets. "But you're still the best, I promise."
"Yeah? That's good to hear." Tsukasa replied.
"We need to stay focused," Sage said as she appeared before everyone. "This attack was the first time the Vandals have struck in a long time. If I am correct, Zemerik and the Sark Empire will soon follow. Fortunately, my Brother and the Red Sentient 5 are still frozen."
"You're all caught up with this?" Ben asked Tsukasa.
"Me, yeah," Tsukasa replied. "You probably need to get filled in."
"Feel like I do." Ben said as he and Tsukasa both took out their cameras. The two looked to each other and smiled.
"Oh, Nice!" both Ben and Tsukasa complimented as they took pictures of each other.
Ben straightened himself up and made his way to the Battle Force 5 with Tsukasa by his side.
"So, let me get this straight: there are tornadoes called Stormshocks that appear randomly, and lead to different Worlds in the Multiverse, but they can be closed through the use of a Battle Key, which is not an actual key, but a relic that needs to be collected before Robots, the Planet of the Apes, and Tron: Legacy can get them?" Ben asked as he and Tsukasa looked to each other.
"I don't know the last movie, but… that's a good way of putting it," Vert said. He looked to the rest of the Battle Force 5. "Better than what the others said when I recruited them." He added on, causing the core members of the Battle Force 5 to mutter and shrug in agreement.
"So how many do you have on your team?" Ben asked. "With these big numbers, there's no way there can only be five."
"There's me, the leader," Vert reintroduced himself before gesturing to Agura. "Our hunter here is Agura. Stanford—"
"Stanford Isaac Rhodes IV." Stanford introduced himself in a formal manner.
"You're the fourth? I've heard a lot about your lineage." Ben noted.
"Anyways, I'm the Artillery Expert." Stanford explained.
"Only when I'm not around," Tezz added on. "When he's unavailable, I take his place."
"Sherman and Spinner are our tactical and tech support." Vert explained as he gestured to the Cortez Brothers.
"You have got to tell us about your own tech!" Spinner explained.
"I'll be sure to when we have the time," Ben said. "Next?"
"Well, there's also me," AJ said. "But I usually take their place when they hit the benches."
"Right," Vert said before looking to Zoom. "And Zoom… he's our Scout."
"Looks young… and skilled," Tsukasa noted. "Order of the Flying Fists?"
"Yes, and proud of it." Zoom said as he performed a karate kick in the air.
"There's eight people, seven vehicles, and your team name is Battle Force 5," Ben mused. "Yeah. That's not misleading at all."
"See, that's what I said!" Spinner exclaimed.
"It's mostly the vehicles that make up the number," Vert said. "But you get the point."
"And you could get confused as to why we call ourselves the Battle Force 5 when we're only six or eight people!" Spinner exclaimed.
"You remind me of Ron." Ben mused.
"Who?" Spinner asked.
"He's, the uh… ultra-powered sidekick of a member of my Alliance," Ben explained. "He has blue mystical power that is unstoppable."
"But he has trouble controlling it sometimes and is a complete wimp when not using his powers," Ben added on. "And he has a Naked Mole Rat for a pet, so there's that." He said as Tsukasa raised an eyebrow.
"I think he still sounds cool!" Spinner exclaimed.
"So, Ben, perhaps you could give us an explanation as to how you have Tsukasa's equipment." Tezz brought up.
"Well… it's sorta hard to explain," Ben said as he noticed everyone lay their eyes on him. "I told the original Battle Force 5 and Tsukasa back on the Vandal Homeworld. It's gonna take me a while to explain to you two. It's complicated."
"How complicated could it be?" AJ asked. "I mean, it's not like you're from the future."
"Well…" Ben trailed off while giving an indicating eyebrow raise, causing Tsukasa's eyes to widen. The rest of the Battle Force 5 were in shock.
"Seriously?!" AJ exclaimed.
"Seriously."
"But that is impossible." Tezz remarked.
Ben sighed. "I swear, I was tracking down an energy signal, saw the Stormshock, rode through it, and ended up in this time where Tsukasa is still Kamen Rider Decade," he explained before he looked over to Sage. "You can confirm it, right? Surely, you must have something to check if people are telling the truth or not. Everyone does. That's how it happened. Honest. I swear."
"There is no need," Sage replied. "I've been scanning you and your belongings ever since you came into the Hub, there are large amounts of tachyon particles on you, indicating you did indeed travel in time."
"But how did he do it?" Tsukasa asked. "No Stormshock can send anyone back in time. I only know Kaito did, but that was with the DenLiner."
"Well, one took us to an Alternate Dimension," Vert pointed out. "There has to be a reason for a Stormshock allowing Time Travel."
"I think I have an idea." Ben said with a grin on his face.
"The Time-Walker?" Sage asked with a smirk.
Ben looked to Sage with surprise. "You know Professor Paradox?" he asked.
"A little." Sage replied back.
"How'd you meet him?" Ben asked. "He come to you through a Stormshock or something?"
"Actually, no," Sage responded. "He and a man named Narutaki came through a grey mirror-like substance and told me of a calamity that would occur without the help of the one known as Decade."
"And then I came along not long after, right?" Tsukasa asked.
"Yes." Sage answered.
"But you weren't expecting a second Decade to come along after." Ben guessed.
"No, I wasn't." Sage acknowledged.
"I should have known I was in the past," Ben said as everyone looked to him. "You see, in my time, the Paradoxa Undead and General Shadow were destroyed by me. And if that Kalus was with them, I'm sure they've already aligned themselves with the Dai-Shocker of this timeline. I don't think it will be long before Dai-Shocker finds the rest of your enemies and gets them onto their side too," he went on. Ben looked up. "Out of the Sark, Vandals and Red Sentients, who are the more dangerous?"
"The Red Sentient 5." Vert answered.
"But don't forget the evil Battle Force 5." Zoom added on.
Stanford scoffed. "Let's just be glad we have that we don't have them to deal with anymore." He remarked.
"Wait, back up. Red Sentient 5?" Ben asked. He received nods from everyone. "Let me guess: Red Sentients disgracing this Prophecy of the Five I've been hearing about?"
"Actually, from their point of view, they were following it to the letter." Vert stated.
"What's the status of the Red Sentient 5 now? Conquering Battle Zones in the Multiverse?" Ben asked with concern.
"More like frozen in icebergs." Vert remarked.
Ben narrowed his eyes at Vert. "I trapped one of my enemies in the Null Void, an inter-dimensional prison. He got out," he explained, getting Sage to place her hand to her chin with interest. "Another one of my enemies was trapped by a creature he intended to use on me to force me into an eternal cycle of nightmares. He got free, and in my time, he's ruling over Dai-Shocker," he added on. "Don't think your enemy can be trapped forever, because they can, and will, find a way out. Dai-Shocker is probably trying to find a way to unfreeze the Red Sentient 5, so if you want to tell me about them being trapped in ice, you'd better step into action, because I'm betting someone is going to thaw them out."
"I remember the Null Void," Sage said. "It's one of the Sentient's best Battle Zones… or rather, was, it was until the Battle Key was destroyed."
"It's the reason it's a prison… for anyone." Ben said sternly.
"Sounds like you've been there yourself." Vert mused.
"I have…" Ben said, causing everyone to gape with shock and awe. "And trust me… any prison of any kind… can be broken."
"So what do we do?" Spinner asked.
"We find your enemies and take them down as best as we can," Ben said, causing everyone to listen intently. "We go in and hit them hard. If they don't fall, or if a single Red Sentient gets free, we hit them harder. Need I go on?"
"Yeah," Tsukasa said. "Where do we start?"
"There are dozens of Battle Zones out there, and we've collected all of the Keys," Tezz said. "How will we know where to start?"
"We go back to the Vandal Homeworld," Ben said. "Retrace our steps. We find anything suspicious, we call it in. Whatever we do, we stop the Red Sentients from escaping."
"Planet Vandal again?!" Stanford exclaimed. "I hate that Planet!"
"Gee, what else is new?" Agura remarked in a snarky tone.
"But Ben has a point," Vert said. "If Dai-Shocker is truly aiming to revive the Red Sentients, we need to find out who is in cahoots with them before we find ourselves neck-deep in trouble. And to be honest… Planet Vandal is a good a place to start as any."
"Dai-Shocker has always been one known for animal experimentation," Tsukasa said. "I say we follow Ben's suggestion and start to investigate all of your enemies. Krytus and the Red Sentient 5 might be gone, but we can't take any risks."
"I shall modify your Machine Decaders to handle Stormshock surges," Sage said. "Kamen Rider or not, you and Ben will have to be ready for anything in our World."
"Everyone, ready your vehicles," Vert ordered the Battle Force 5. "We're gonna have to be ready for anything now that there's a chance of the Red Sentients coming back."
"Well, there might not be any Riders here, but we're gonna have to stop Dai-Shocker one way or another," Tsukasa said, causing Ben to look to him with surprise. Tsukasa turned his attention to Ben. "There must be a lot of things that have happened with you as Decade," he said. "Care to tell me about some of it?"
"Sure," Ben said as he walked away with Tsukasa. "But you've gotta tell me about what has been happening here!" He exclaimed. "I want to know why Kaito, Natsumi or Yuusuke haven't told me about this adventure. It's great to see you again, I just have a lot of questions, and they really need to be answered."
"Then I might just be able to provide you with some answers," Tsukasa said as he took some pictures of the Hub. "Ask away."
Before Ben could ask, an alarm went off.
"I sense a Stormshock approaching." Sage said.
"Battle Force 5, Ben, Tsukasa, let's move out!" Vert ordered.
Everyone nodded and started to get to their vehicles. Ben and Tsukasa looked to each other before they ran towards their respective Machine Decaders. AJ and Tezz ran to the GearSlammer and the Splitwire respectively and rode off with the Battle Force 5 as Ben and Tsukasa followed. Everyone rode out of the Hub and towards the Stormshock, entering a new Battle Zone.
At the same time, a Sark probe was watching Ben, Tsukasa and the Battle Force 5 enter the Battle Zone. Upon seeing Ben, it started to scan him.
"Could this be possible?" Zemerik, leader of the Sark Empire, pondered as be looked to the complete scan of Ben. "This organic looks exactly like our Great Leader! He must be informed!"
Inside of the Battle Zone, Ben, Tsukasa and the Battle Force 5 came out from the portal and onto Planet Vandal, where they suddenly found Captain Kalus, Hatch, Sever, Krocomodo, and surprisingly, even the spy for Krytus, Grimian, waiting for them.
"Grimian?!" Sherman exclaimed in surprise. "How are you still here?!"
"He doesn't respond to you subspecies," Captain Kalus spat. "With help from the works of Dai-Shocker, he now obeys me completely!"
"After working for Krytus, you still trust him, huh?" Vert asked. "Wonder how you sleep remembering him as a traitor."
"The Dai-Shocker Great Leader had a feeling you would be coming back," Hatch remarked. "The only question is why?"
"The Red Sentients," Sage said sternly. "Are you aligned with them?"
"What makes you think we are?" Grimian asked.
"Call it a hunch," Tsukasa said as Ben stepped up. "They always say the enemy of my enemy is my friend. And unless this new Great Leader promised you something out of helping to free the Red Sentient 5, you are helping to free the tyrants who ravaged your world."
"You think we're inferior?!" Krocomodo spat.
"No," Ben quipped as his Omnitrix started to glow again. "Just slow."
At that moment, Ben raised up his Omnitrix hand and aimed it at the Vandals, scanning them all at once.
"Multiple unknown DNA sources detected. Scanning. Leosapien DNA registered to Codon Stream. Reptisapien DNA registered to Codon Stream. Krahs DNA registered to Codon Stream. Roachster DNA registered to Codon Stream. Primitape DNA registered to Codon Stream."
"What has just happened?!" Captain Kalus demanded.
"Wait a minute," Vert said. "The Vandals aren't all the same species?"
"It would appear that the term 'Vandals' belongs to the name of a tribe." Sage noted.
"Captain Kalus, that boy with the magic bracelet, he's a warlock!" Hatch exclaimed as he aimed his pincer at Ben, who looked around to see if he was talking about someone else. "He attempted to use his Black Magic on us!"
"'Boy with the magic bracelet'?" Ben asked. "'Warlock of Black Magic'? Can someone tell me what is wrong with that… crab? Roach, prawn? What is he?"
"How dare you!" Hatch yelled. "I am Hatch, technician and sorcerer of the Vandals!"
"Hey, I'm just trying to figure out what you are. I'm not trying to start a fight," Ben stated as he held up his hands in surrender. "What are you? A crab? Roach? Radioactive Spider? Am I getting close?"
"Get in line," Spinner quipped. "I've been trying to figure out what he is for ages."
"He could be a crab, if you think about it." Vert pointed out.
"He looks like a cockroach… of some kind." Tsukasa said.
"I'm sticking with my roach theory," Ben stated. "You know, come to think of it, when you look at the pincers, he could also be a crab…"
"Give it up," Captain Kalus remarked with exasperation. "Not even we know what he is."
"Oh…" Hatch groaned sadly. "You're all so mean."
"Guys, I'm picking up some sort of Sentient Energy Reading, at least, I think that's what it is," Stanford said. "It's the same energy source we came across before Ben arrived."
"That must have been what I was picking up before I was carried away by the Stormshock," Ben mused. "Stanford, where is it coming from?"
"In an open field due west," Stanford reported. "It's spiking rapidly. It might be a Respawn Chamber!"
"You subspecies will never prevent us from reviving the Red Sentient 5!" Captain Kalus exclaimed. "Vandals, to me!"
"Ben, let's move!" Tsukasa called out as he and Ben ran for their Machine Decaders.
"Follow me!" Stanford called out as he drove the Reverb towards the source.
Everyone followed after Stanford, Ben and Tsukasa racing close behind, while the Vandals raced to beat the two Decade Riders and the Battle Force 5 there.
Soon, the Decade Riders and the Battle Force 5 arrived at the source just as the Vandals arrived. There, in front of both of them, was a Respawn Chamber just as Stanford has reported. However, it changed form to show an old sword placed into the ground.
"Choto, Sono ken," Tsukasa said in Japanese. "General Jark's sword!"
"But in this time, General Jark would still be alive," Ben pointed out. "It happened when I was fighting at the battle of—"
"Step away from that sword!" Captain Kalus ordered as he got out from his chariot. "Yield or be destroyed, subspecies!"
"I have a better idea," Ben said as he walked towards Captain Kalus. He unsheathed his Neo Ride Booker in RideSaber Mode and aimed it at the Leader of the Vandals. "I challenge you to single combat!"
Immediately, the Vandals laughed hysterically, sans Captain Kalus, who glared at Ben intently.
"Tough crowd." Ben mused.
"Oi, Ben, Nani wo suru?" Tsukasa asked.
"No one can take on Kalus alone!" Vert exclaimed.
"Is that not the way of the wild?" Ben asked. "Survival of the fittest?"
"No subspecies has dared to challenge me to combat without the use of their vehicle," Captain Kalus announced as he reached for a sword from his chariot. "You shall be the first to perish at my blade!"
"You're not the first to try and predict my fate," Ben remarked as he took out the Decade KamenRide Card and placed it into his Decadriver. "Henshin!" He called out before closing it.
KAMEN RIDE: DECADE!
Everyone watched with amazement as Ben transformed into Kamen Rider Decade.
"If I win, in bladed single combat only, you must relinquish command of the Vandals to me, and allow us to escape with the sword," Ben said as he aimed his RideSaber at Captain Kalus. "If you win, I forfeit my armor and become your prisoner."
"I accept your terms, subspecies," Captain Kalus called back. "Let this day be known as the day the brave subspecies fell at my sword, and disgraced his beloved Earth!"
Ben and Kalus both let out yells as they charged towards each other, swords drawn, while both sides stood by and watched the battle ensue.
Ben swung his RideSaber at Kalus while the Leosapien dodged and countered every move. Kalus was being forced back as Ben struck at him relentlessly. Eventually, Kalus started to perform a counterattack at Ben, but Ben kept his stance and parried off every wild swing. Soon, the two swung at each other once more, locking blades while forcing each other down. The two broke off, with Kalus elbowing Ben in the face. Ben's armor protected him from the hits before Ben struck back. Kalus parried off his attack and swung low at Ben, only for the Wielder of the Omnitrix to leap over his blade and kick him away.
Tsukasa and Vert watched with shock while Krocomodo quietly cursed under his breath.
Kalus got back up and used his Arm-Mounted Crossbow to fire at Ben, only for Ben to duck low. Ben converted his RideSaber into Gun Mode and shot back at Kalus, who deflected every shot that was sent at him. The two fired at each other at the same time afterwards, both blasts colliding. In the process, Kalus's crossbow was knocked off, and Ben reverted his gun back to RideSaber mode. The two glared at each other before charging at each other once more.
Ben and Kalus clashed blades high with each other as they fought in their enclosure. Kalus knees Ben in the chest, but Ben elbowed Kalus back. Kalus snarled and stabbed his sword towards Ben. Everyone gasped before Ben grabbed Kalus's hand and slammed the pommel of his sword onto it, causing Kalus to groan and drop his sword. Ben spun Kalus around and threw him to the ground and aiming his RideSaber at him as he attempted to get up.
Everyone gasped, all very much surprised that Ben was able to win against Kalus.
"Captain Kalus, no!" Grimian called out.
"I… I lost? To a subspecies creature?!" Kalus exclaimed in disbelief.
"Yield… and this goes no further." Ben ordered while catching his breath.
"I yield," Kalus said, causing the Vandals to gasp. "You are now the leader of the Vandals. I shall take my leave… in shame."
"You fought with honor. I respect that in anyone," Ben said. "I will take the sword, and my leave with my friends."
"You mean it?" Agura asked.
Kalus now began to stutter with utter confusion. "But our code states that—"
"Yes, I am the new leader of the Vandals, but I am not the captain," Ben said as he walked towards the sword and picked it up. "Until I return, you are the head of the Vandals. It's a win-win for everyone."
Kalus groaned as he got back up again. He made his way towards the Vandals as they helped tend to him.
"That was risky," Tsukasa said as he helped Ben back to his Machine Decader. "But you did it."
Ben nodded. He was about to mount his bike until he felt a pain at his side.
"You're hurt!" Zoom exclaimed.
"Just a scratch. Don't worry." Ben said.
"We will head to the Sark Homeworld and find a good place to recover from the battles we have had so far," Sage said as she loaded both of the Machine Decaders into the Mobi as it came out of Stealth Mode. "You'll have time to heal."
"Tsukasa, can you stay with him?" Sherman asked.
"For what he did, yes," Tsukasa said. "He's earned my respect."
Meanwhile, aboard the Dai-Shocker Command Ship known as the Dark Crisis, General Shadow, Captain Kalus and even the Sark Leader, Zemerik, were walking towards the Great Leader of Dai-Shocker as he looked to a transmission with Red Skull.
"Is everything in place, Schmidt?" The figure in the shadows asked.
"Sunil Bakshi and Daniel Whitehall are overseeing preparations for when you arrive," Red Skull reported. "Our two sleeper agents have been placed inside SHIELD, and are awaiting further orders."
"Until I arrive, do not strike," the Great Leader of Dai-Shocker commanded. "There are other matters I must attend to before our reunion."
"Hell to Heroes." Red Skull bid farewell before ending the transmission.
"What is the status of Krytus, Kyburi, Kytren, Krylox and Kryosys?" The Great Leader of Dai-Shocker asked without turning to face his generals.
"They are still frozen," Captain Kalus reported. "A Battle Zone in between the Multiverse is impossible to find."
"And what of Tsukasa Kadoya?" The Great Leader of Dai-Shocker asked. "Has the Decade come to an end?"
"We were unable to end him," General Shadow reported. "He was given backup from another Kamen Rider who wore the same armor as Kamen Rider Decade."
"There were two… Kamen Rider Decades?" The Great Leader of Dai-Shocker asked, his voice sounding confused. "Kamen Rider Twenty?"
"This was another Kamen Rider Decade," ShadowMoon said as he entered the room. "He was not Japanese, but he spoke in a tongue similar to yours… American if you will."
"Just like yours." Captain Kalus added on.
Slowly, the Great Leader of Dai-Shocker turned his head. However, he did not come out from the shadows just yet.
"We have no confirmation, but the reconnaissance from the Zurk Probe I sent reported that he looked just like you outside of Rider Form…" Zemerik started out.
Zemerik was interrupted when the Great Leader of Dai-Shocker took out a dark version of the Ride Booker and charged it up. Everyone looked to him with surprise as he started to slash at the wall in front of him. Burns and ashes flew from each strike as his followers stood back and cringed as he slashed wildly. It went on for a couple more minutes before the Great Leader stopped and took some deep breaths, trying to calm himself down.
"Anything else?" The Dai-Shocker Great Leader asked as his silhouette could be made out from the fiery gashes.
"He had a watch with a scanner…" Kalus started out before he was suddenly grabbed by the face by the Great Leader.
"What watch?!" The Dai-Shocker Great Leader demanded.
"Here we are, the Sark Homeworld," Spinner said as everyone entered the Planet of the Sark through the Mobi. "Full of soggy pizza and no beanbags of any kind."
"Don't tell me you actually asked for those when Zemerik held you prisoner." Vert said.
"You'd be surprised what his factories can serve up," Spinner replied. "Honestly, their pizza is the soggy kind."
"Never mind that," Vert said as he walked towards Sage. "How's Ben holding up?"
"Ben Tennyson is slowly starting to recover," Sage reported. "Never before have I seen a human fight against a Vandal in single combat and win before."
"Never before have I seen a Kamen Rider with such honor," Tsukasa mused. "I'll keep an eye on him. Just try to get us somewhere safe before the Sark find us."
"Already plotting a course," Tezz said. "Stay strong, Ben. You've done well."
Ben nodded as he continued to recover.
"Can't say I've ever seen someone so brave like that," Tsukasa mused as he sat down and took some pictures. "In your time, you must be pretty brave."
"What happened?" Ben asked as the Battle Force 5 drove towards a safe location in the Sark Homeworld.
Tsukasa looked to Ben with surprise. "Nani?" He asked in Japanese.
"After Natsumi ended the Rider War, you went with her, Kaito, Eijiro and Yuusuke to travel the Worlds," Ben said. "You feigned turning evil again to help Captain Marvelous uncover the Alliance between Dai-Shocker and Dai-Zangyack, and led the Kamen Riders and Super Sentai into battle to bring them down. You joined them again to fight against Space Shocker, but you left your friends. Why?" He asked once again. "Your friends… the ones who took you into their family when you had nowhere else to go… why did you leave them? What was so important for you to abandon them that you couldn't have done together? Even Sayo was concerned for your disappearance," he stated. "What happened?"
Tsukasa sighed. "Straight to the point, huh?" He asked. He let out another sigh. "That question has a lot of answers, Ben. Did Kaito ever tell you about how he lost his brother?" He asked.
"You mean Junichi?" Ben asked. "Only a little bit. He never went into that much detail."
"What about Yuusuke with his Sister?" Tsukasa went on. "Did Yuusuke ever tell you about what happened to her in the first World I traveled to?"
Ben was about to answer, but upon remembering what Yuusuke told him about his sister, he lowered his head in sadness.
"Yuusuke's Sister died, and Kaito's brother turned evil on his own free will," Ben stated. "Is this all while you traveled with them?" he asked.
"Yeah, and that's not all," Tsukasa said. "In the World of Kamen Rider Black RX, Natsumi-Chan died. Only with Apollo Geist's Perfecter was I able to revive her. It was a heavy toll for all of us," he explained as Vert came down and listened. "And after the battle against Dai-Shocker and Dai-Zangyack, with Kaito turning on us for keeping secrets from him, I decided it was best to travel alone… to keep my friends safe… for their own good."
"So, why'd you end up in this World?" Ben asked. "Curiosity?"
"I was working on building up an Alliance… consisting of friends I would make from the Worlds I had already visited and the Worlds I had yet to visit," Tsukasa explained. "I remembered the risks that I put all of my friends in; Natsumi being the victim of a murder crime, Yuusuke getting brutally beaten by Fangires, Kaito being hunted down by the people of his own World, and the old man becoming a general of Dai-Shocker," he went on. "So I went on without them. This was the second World I had arrived in that had no Riders, but a team instead, like the Samurai Sentai Shinkenger. I know that I have to take down Dai-Shocker here, that was what my assumption was when I first got here, but after you made your point about them bringing back the Red Sentients, I know now that there is something more to what must be done."
Ben's eyes widened as he got up from the bed. "It all makes sense now!" he exclaimed in astonishment.
"Well, the postcards from Natsumikan say so too," Tsukasa went on. "But I think—"
"No," Ben said. "All that time, you were on your own, trying to build up that Alliance," he stated as he dialed on his smartphone. "Well, guess what?" he quibbled before showing a picture he had of the entire Alliance of Ten he had taken, scanned and sent to his phone earlier. "I've been doing just that… in your name and honor!"
Tsukasa gazed at the Alliance of Ten Ben was showing him. He could not believe that Ben had actually succeeded in making the Alliance he had always been planning to make.
"Bad news," Spinner said as he ran down to the Med Bay. "We've been spotted by some Zurk!"
"They can see through the Stealth Mode?" Tsukasa asked.
"I'm betting Dai-Shocker provided them with Tech to help see through the Mobi's systems," Ben said. He looked to Vert. "I'll lead them away, but I need Tsukasa to help."
"You sure about this?" Vert asked. "Aren't you still hurt from fighting Kalus?"
"Listen to Ben!" Tsukasa ordered, causing Ben's eyes to widen while Vert stood surprised. "He knows what he's doing."
Vert grinned and nodded "Alright," he said. "Sage, what's the status of the Machine Decaders?"
"They are fully prepped and ready to go," Sage reported. "However, even though the Vandals are now currently incapacitated, Zemerik and the Sark are the closest link to Krytus and the Red Sentient 5. We must download their data and find my Brother so we can destroy him and his team first."
"I'll go in with them," Spinner said as Sherman looked to him. "Zemerik showed me the whole Sark Base, and I know exactly where to download the information we need from."
"If you go, I go," Sherman said. "I'm not letting you go in alone on this again."
"Okay, Ben and Tsukasa take point," Vert said. "Spinner, Sherman, I'm coming with you too. We're gonna have ourselves outnumbered by Zurk the moment we arrive."
"Ikuze!" Tsukasa called out. "Ben, take the lead!"
"Got it!" Ben called out as he started his Machine Decader.
Outside, Zemerik was watching the Mobius Command Center come out of Stealth Mode. He looked to his right-hand brute, Zug, and nodded.
"Zug take care of Organics." Zug said in his robotic voice before he got into his drill and led several Zurk towards the Battle Force 5, Ben and Tsukasa.
"Ben, Tsukasa, Vert, Sherman, Spinner, you must find a way into the Sark Factory," Sage said. "Try to remotely infiltrate their security systems."
"If we get to the Main Control Tower, we can use it as a back door to their computer systems." Sherman said.
"But make sure you don't fall off," Spinner said. "The height difference between the top of the Tower and the ground is almost twice the height difference of the Earth and our own sky!"
"Got it," Ben said. "I'm betting there will be lots of Zurk in the way. Tsukasa and I will download the information from the main computer, but we need a distraction for when the Sark attack."
"Like right now!" Vert called out as he noticed several blue mechanical cars racing over. "Look!"
"Zug, destroy the three Battle Force 5 Organics. I shall deal with the Riders." Zemerik ordered as he rode towards Ben and Tsukasa in his Zelix.
"Zug shall delete the Organics!" Zug exclaimed as several Zurk came alongside him while driving his personal Zendrill while the Zurk drove in their Zentners.
"Sherm, Spin, let's try a new fusion," Vert said as he looked to the layouts of the Buster and the Saber. "How does the name 'BustBlade' grab you?"
"Let's do it!" Sherman exclaimed.
"Tsukasa, with me!" Ben called out as he rode his Machine Decader towards the main Sark Tower.
"Unite…" Vert started out as he sent the Fuser out.
"AND STRIKE!" the Cortez Brothers called out as the Saber and the Buster entered the Fuser. Soon, out from it came the BustBlade, the fusion between the Saber and the Buster. It was large, had a silver color to it, and had several spoilers at the back with disc launchers at the tires.
"Fire Razor Discs!" Vert called out as the discs from the tires shot out towards the Zentners.
Ben and Tsukasa both rode from the explosions of the Sark Vehicles and made their way towards the control tower.
"Zug, take care of the Battle Force 5!" Zemerik ordered. "The Kamen Riders are mine!"
"Looks like a long way up," Ben said as he looked to the tower. "Let's put it in full gear!"
"Yeah!" Tsukasa called out as both he and Ben raced to the tower, with Zemerik following them. Tsukasa turned around and took notice. "You ready to do this?" he asked.
"You know it!" Ben exclaimed as he took out he Decade KamenRide Card.
Tsukasa did the same.
"HENSHIN!" Tsukasa and Ben both called out, placing their Cards into their Decadrivers.
KAMEN RIDE: DECADE!
Both Ben and Tsukasa transformed into Kamen Rider Decade, now travelling faster towards the Tower.
"You are mine, Organics!" Zemerik called out as he rode along the wall of the tower.
"Tsukasa! Is that Zemerik?" Ben asked as he looked to Zemerik as he prepared his Electro-Whip.
"Yeah," Tsukasa replied. "And he's bad news. Look out!"
Ben looked up and held up his left arm as Zemerik lashed at him. Suddenly, an energy field came out from the Omnitrix and started to scan the Leader of the Sark.
"What's this?!" Zemerik exclaimed.
"Unknown DNA Source Detected. Scanning. Sark DNA Registered to Codon Stream."
"That's another one down," Ben said as he looked to Zemerik on his Omnitrix. "Now, for you!" he exclaimed as he took out his RideSaber.
"The Great Leader wants you dead!" Zemerik exclaimed, skidding his Zelix down onto the road and knocking Ben off the edge.
"Ben, no!" Tsukasa called out.
Ben looked down as he fell with his Machine Decader. He started to pant nervously until he remembered something. He opened up the RideSaber and took out his new Card, placing it into the Decadriver immediately.
ATTACK RIDE: MOTOR WING!
Ben spread his arms out as his Machine Decader started to transform. Before he could hit the ground, the Machine Decader formed into mechanical wings and latched itself onto Ben. Shoulder cannons formed from the tailpipes while batons formed from the handles. The seat split into two thrusters while the engine transformed into the jetpack. Finally, the tires became a set of wings, and soon, Ben flew all the way back up.
"Ten years deleted… another ten to go!" Zemerik quipped as he prepared to use his Electro-Whip on Tsukasa.
Tsukasa held out a Card in front of him and placed it into his own Decadriver.
ATTACK RIDE: AUTO-VAJIN!
Kamen Rider Faiz's Auto-Vajin transformed from the Machine Decader and shot at Zemerik, almost sending him off of the road. Tsukasa took out the sword from the Auto-Vajin and struck at Zemerik's Whip. Zemerik soon started to force Tsukasa off the road, but Ben flew towards them and used the RideSaber to slash through the Zelix.
"What?!" Zemerik exclaimed. "But that's impossible!"
"Whoa!" Spinner exclaimed as he shot at the Zentners from the ground. "Look at that!"
"Interesting," Tezz said. "Ben seems to have been equipped with some sort of jetpack from his Machine Decader."
"More new upgrades?" Tsukasa asked as he looked to Ben.
"You know it," Ben replied before taking out a Card depicting Will using her Quintessence Powers. "Okay, Zemerik. I'm gonna put a shock to your systems!" he exclaimed before putting the Card into his Decadriver.
ATTACK RIDE: QUINTESSENCE!
Ben swung the RideSaber at Zemerik, causing his Zelix to spin out of control and spark with electricity.
"My turn!" Tsukasa called out as he took out a Card.
FINAL ATTACK RIDE: D-D-DECADE!
Ben leapt off of his own Machine Decader and landed his Dimension Kick on Zemerik, knocking him into the tower out cold.
"Hold on," Ben said as he grabbed Tsukasa's Machine Decader. "I'll get us to the top faster. Hang on!"
"Oi! Whoa!" Tsukasa called out as Ben selected Humongousaur and flew up to the top of the tower.
"Here we are," Ben said as he and Tsukasa reached the top. "Now, to download the data!"
"Here's the drive," Tsukasa said as he loaded a jump-drive into the terminal "Sage programmed it to wipe out any of the Sark Security Measures."
"Good of that Blue Sentient." Ben mused as the data started to download.
Zemerik got up and looked to what was happening. Zoom flew up on the Chopper and looked to him as he let out a laugh.
"What's so funny?" Zoom asked.
"You're not so smart, Organics," Zemerik said. "I was but a mere distraction!"
"My Brother is returning!" Sage exclaimed with horror.
In a frozen World outside of the Multiverse, Krytus, Kryosys, Kyburi, Kytren and Krylox were still trapped in ice. However, a man in a black robe appeared and unsheathed the Dark Ride Booker. This was the Great Leader of Dai-Shocker. He charged up his Dark Ride Booker and slashed at all of the icy prisons, freeing all of the Red Sentient 5.
"Awaken, Krytus," the Great Leader of Dai-Shocker commanded. "And serve your new Master!"
The ice holding the Red Sentient 5 slowly started to crack. The Great Leader of Dai-Shocker stood back as Krytus released himself. He let out a savage roar as he used his blade arm to slash the rest of himself free.
"Krytus…" Kyburi said as she got out of her ice prison with the rest of the Red Sentient 5. "We're free." She proclaimed viciously.
"Yes… yes, we are free…" Krytus said before looking to the thick-robed man. "Who are you? A Diad?"
"My name is a secret you must prove yourselves to know," the Great Leader of Dai-Shocker replied. "But for now, you can call me… Master."
"We don't bow down to anyone!" Kryosys exclaimed as he formed his wheel vehicle, the Synthrax.
The Great Leader of Dai-Shocker scoffed and lifted his arm up, causing ice to cover the legs of all members of the Red Sentient 5.
"I brought you back, and I can imprison you again if you don't do as I say," the Great Leader of Dai-Shocker remarked. "You are going to pledge your allegiance to Dai-Shocker, and you will follow my orders. Am I clear?"
"Yes… Master…" Krytus said in a strained voice. "We now… serve you and Dai-Shocker."
"Good," the Great Leader of Dai-Shocker said as he released the Red Sentient 5 from the ice once again. "Now, find me the Battle Force 5 and the Decade Kamen Riders."
Meanwhile, Ben and Tsukasa rode back down to the Mobi, where Vert, Sherman and Spinner were just driving back inside.
"Sorry we didn't get stop them in time." Ben said.
"Krytus and the Red Sentient 5 are sure to come after us now," Tsukasa said. "We'd best be ready."
"I will upgrade your vehicles from inside the Mobi," Sage said. "Before the Council of Five and I imprisoned my Brother and his Team, we destroyed Krytus's psychic link with me."
"But that won't mean he won't regain it," Vert said. He suddenly noticed a Silver Dimension Wall appear, with a robot with a scythe arm appear and run towards Ben and Tsukasa. "Ben, Tsukasa, look out!"
Ben and Tsukasa both turned around.
"Schwarian!" Tsukasa exclaimed.
Both Ben and Tsukasa took out their Ride Bookers and shot at Schwarian, forcing him back as both blasts created a force-field.
"Onore!" Schwarian cursed as he aimed his scythe blaster at the two Decade Riders.
All of a sudden, a man with a denim vest and fingerless gloves appeared. He leapt on top of the Mobi and landed a dropkick on Schwarian before Ben and Tsukasa both transformed into Kamen Rider Decade and landed a dropkick on Schwarian, sending it back several feet. As it got up, it sparked with electricity.
Both Ben and Tsukasa suavely put their Ride Bookers away and walked towards Schwarian side by side. They opened up their Decadrivers and fist-bumped each other.
"Who… who are you?!" Schwarian demanded.
"Just a Passing-Through Kamen Rider." Ben started out.
"Remember that!" Tsukasa finished up as he and Ben aimed their fingers at the dying Crisis Empire Robot.
Schwarian yelled in pain as he fell back. Everyone watched as he died in an explosion while Ben and Tsukasa placed on shades and walked away.
"Well, that was… awesome!" Stanford exclaimed.
"We have to move," Ben said. "It won't be long before Krytus finds us."
"Yeah," Tsukasa said before looking to the new stranger. "I know who you are. Joe the Haze, ally of Kamen Rider Black RX."
"It's nice to finally meet you," Joe the Haze replied back. "But I must travel on my own again. Perhaps we shall cross paths again, Kamen Rider Decades."
Both Ben and Tsukasa sent Joe the Haze a salute as a Silver Dimension Wall opened up. Joe the Haze saluted back as he walked through it.
On the Planet of the Red Sentients, Krytus and the Red Sentient 5 were gathered together.
"How can we strike back?" Kytren asked. "All Sentients, Blue and Red alike, have turned against us!"
"Soon, that won't be a problem," Krytus said as a red Sark Drone flew over. "After scanning the vehicles of an alternate team of the Battle Force 5 from a solar flare, I believe I know how to defeat the Organics once and for all."
"And how will we do that?" Kyburi asked with a bemused look on her face.
"By fusing our vehicles the same way they do!" Krytus replied.
"We would need a Fuser to do that, and the only one is in possession of Sage!" Kytren replied, still skeptical about what they were about to get themselves into. "They will kill us before we get the chance to create our own Fuser!"
"Do you forget who rescued us, who we owe a debt to?" Krytus asked as he grabbed Kytren by the throat. "As long as we bring down this Decade person, then we have all the technology we need to create a Fuser!" He exclaimed as he tossed him to the side.
Kyrosys grinned as he started to create something from his Synthrax. Red lightning surged through the object as the rest of the Red Sentient 5 continued to talk amongst themselves.
"Enough talk!" Krylox yelled.
"I say we make our Fuser and get revenge on all our people, starting with Sage, her precious Organics that disgrace the Five, and kill Decade!" Kyburi proclaimed.
Krytus turned around slowly. "Then why are you all standing around?!" he asked. "START MAKING THE FUSER!" he ordered.
"Already done!" Kryosys spat as he revealed a red sparking Fuser. "Might be a crude design, but it has the very same energy that powers Sage's Fuser," he explained. "We only need to test it."
The others looked on in shock, disbelief, and confusion.
"Did you build that while we were talking?" Krytus asked tranquilly as he made his way towards Kryosys.
"Yes," Kryosys replied smugly. "Why?"
"WHY DIDN'T YOU TELL US YOU MADE A FUSER SOONER?!" Krytus demanded angrily.
"I just finished it when you yelled for us to make the Fuser." Kryosys explained as Krytus prepared to use his blade arm to run him through.
"Excellent…" Krytus said as he looked to the Fuser. All of a sudden, something clicked to him. He turned around and sensed his Blue Sentient Sister. "I have found them," he proclaimed. "We go for the Sark Homeworld!"
"But the Fuser still needs to be tested!" Kryosys protested.
"We'll test it when we get there!" Krytus yelled as he formed his Syfurious.
"I have a very bad feeling about this." Kryosys said to himself nervously.
"Kryosys, hand me the Fuser!" Krytus demanded. Kryosys did just that and gave the Fuser to Krytus as it sparked dangerously. "We destroy as them as one!" he proclaimed to the Red Sentient 5. "Leave no Organic alive unless they are six feet under!"
Meanwhile, on the Sark Homeworld, Ben and Tsukasa were showing the Battle Force 5 the data they had collected.
"Looks like Dai-Shocker was having the Sark create something that could energize their weapons," Ben said as he looked to the data. "Enhancements to all kinds of bodies, weapons and vehicles alike. Their latest one was a mass-heat sword blade."
"A blade that can destroy ice of any kind, it seems," Tezz said as he examined the data. "But Zemerik rebelled against Krytus. So why would he help to bring him back?"
All of a sudden, a red Stormshock opened up. Everyone looked to it as Krytus appeared, followed shortly by Kyburi, Kytren, Krylox and Kryosys. All five of the Red Sentient 5 grinned evilly before Krytus formed his Syfurious, Kyburi with her Venikus, Kryosys with his Synthrax, Kytren with his Vyrilex, and Krylox with his massive Synataur.
"I think we're about to find out." Zoom said as he got into a fighting stance.
"Now is the chance for us to exact our revenge!" Kyburi exclaimed. She suddenly saw something that made her gasp. "There are two Organics with Sage and the Battle Force 5!"
"One of them is this Decade, the other is collateral damage," Krytus said as he lifted up the Red Sentient Fuser. "Our destruction shall be known now and forever!"
"What is that?" Tsukasa asked as he noticed the Fuser.
"An Instrument of Destruction." Sage replied.
"Red Sentient 5! Unite!" Krytus started out as all of the vehicles of the Red Sentient 5 gathered together.
"AND STRIKE!" each member of the Red Sentient 5 called out as they entered the Red Fuser Portal.
"Sage, what's going on?" Vert asked with caution.
"It would appear that the Red Sentient 5 has created Fuser, albeit incredibly crudely made." Sage replied.
"So what's happening in there?" Spinner asked. "Because I just saw five vehicles go in and now it looks ready to go boom!"
"Too many vehicles have entered the Fuser," Sage answered once again. "And their Fuser is unstable!"
"Kryosys! What is happening?!" Krytus demanded as the vehicles started to violently fuse together.
"I told you that it needed testing!" Kryosys replied as he felt his Synthrax fusing. "It's completely unstable! Even I don't know what's going to happen when we come out!"
Everyone watched what was going on with surprise. Ben narrowed his eyes at the anomaly before making something out from the portal.
"What's that coming out of the Fuser?" Ben asked.
"And why do I hear… laughing?" Tsukasa asked as a faint laughing was heard.
Out from the Red Fuser Portal came a large, red gigantic humanoid machine. It let out a distorted laugh before grunting in pain. Everyone gasped and stood back as sparks flew across its head and chest.
"Something about the Red Sentient Fuser caused all of the Red Sentient 5 to combine into one being!" Sherman exclaimed.
"It defies all logic…" Tezz said dumbfounded.
"That thing's as tall as Gokai-Oh!" Ben exclaimed.
"Sage, what do we do?" Vert asked worryingly.
"Nothing as you are now," Sage said, feeling scared herself. "Not even using our own Fuser would give you enough of an advantage against them, especially when you take into consideration that the Red Sentient 5 have not only merged their vehicles, but their bodies as well."
"Meaning?" Vert asked.
"They are now a highly unstable Mega Sentient with five minds fighting for control." Sage explained.
"In layman terms, we need to get out of Dodge!" Ben exclaimed.
Suddenly, a portal opened up. Ben, Tsukasa and Vert all turned around as a large rock-like creature appeared. He had green glowing lines all over his body, and he mounted a large bike.
"Rawkus!" Vert exclaimed.
"Come with me! Hurry!" Rawkus called out.
"Go," Ben said as he started to select an Alien on his Omnitrix. "I'll buy you some time."
"How?" Tsukasa asked.
"Trust me." Ben said sternly before slamming down onto his Omnitrix.
Slowly, Ben floated into the air, and he started to change shape.
"What's going on with him?" AJ asked.
Ben tucked his arms and legs into his chest. He let out a yell as he spread them out, now turning into his largest Alien Form ever.
"WAY BIG!" Way Big called out.
"A To'Kustar!" Sage exclaimed.
"Let's dance, Big Red!" Way Big called out as he grabbed the Sark Tower. Using it as a baseball bat, he swung it at the Mega Sentient, knocking it back temporarily.
"Quick! Go!" Tsukasa called out as some of the Battle Force 5 went through the portal.
"What about Ben? How will he get back?" Vert asked as he looked to the battle.
"To'Kustar Kick!" Way Big called out as he jumped up and landed a dropkick onto the Mega Sentient. As soon as the Mega Sentient crashed into several buildings.
"YOU WILL PAY FOR THAT, ORGANIC!" the Mega Sentient called out.
"Make me!" Way Big called back as he crossed his arms. Energy started to appear before he unleashed his Cosmic Ray on the Mega Sentient, throwing it back.
"Ben, come on!" Stanford called out.
"I'm coming! Don't rush me!" Ben called out before he kicked the Mega Sentient once again. He backflipped and twirled in the air before changing form. "Jetray!" he called out, flying through the portal while carrying his Machine Decader at the same time.
Tsukasa and Vert looked on with surprise.
"YOU WON'T ESCAPE ME, SAGE!" the Mega Sentient called out angrily.
"Is there anything Ben can't do?!" Stanford exclaimed.
"If he's anything like me, it's taking pictures," Tsukasa replied. "Now, let's go!"
"Get to the Portal!" Sage called out. "Hurry!"
The Mega Sentient got back up and growled. It ran towards the portal and attempted to grab the Mobi, only for it to get through the portal and escape with Rawkus, Ben, Tsukasa and the Battle Force 5 just in time.
"BATTLE FORCE! DECADE! SAGE!" the Mega Sentient called out in anger. It let out a loud roar that could be heard throughout the Multiverse.
On Earth, back at Handler's Corners, Jetray flew over Zeke's Diner and arrived back at the Hub with everyone else. He landed down and transformed from Jetray back into Ben.
"That was close." Ben panted.
"Too close, you mean," Tsukasa corrected. "Ben Tennyson, you are full of surprises."
Ben chuckled and smiled to Rawkus. "Thanks, stranger," he said before narrowing his eyes at the Rider. "Who are you?"
"This is Rawkus," Vert explained as the Omnitrix started to beep again. "He's a great friend and an ally to us."
All of a sudden, the Omnitrix started to scan Rawkus.
"Can't stop this," Ben said as everyone looked to him. "It's out of my control."
"Unknown DNA Source detected. Scanning. Golem DNA registered to Codon Stream."
"Is that going to happen a lot?" Vert asked.
"Only when it discovers new DNA Sources." Ben explained.
"So, Ben, could you tell us about your Watch?" Agura asked.
Ben chuckled. "Trust me, you wouldn't be able to understand." He replied.
"In the words of my human friends, 'try us'." Sage said.
Ben sighed and took a deep breath. "Well, it's called the Omnitrix," he started to explain. "It's a powerful device created by the Galvans, specifically a short-tempered Galvan by the name of—"
"Azmuth?" Sage asked.
"You know him?" Ben asked.
"Indeed. He created the Ascalon Sword, and both Blue Sentients and Galvans are allies in the field of intelligence." Sage explained.
"Funny," Ben chuckled. "Azmuth never mentioned you to me or my friends before."
"Perhaps it is because the Azmuth in your World is different from the one in ours." Sage stated.
"This is one of the many Worlds in the Multiverse, after all." Tsukasa pointed out.
"I never considered that," Ben said before he got back on topic. "Anyways, the Omnitrix collects the DNA of different extraterrestrial species, and that allows me to transform into each of them," he started to explain as everyone listened intently. "When I was ten years old, I literally started out with ten Aliens with DNA samples that were already put into the first Omnitrix. I found more as I continued to fight with it, and five years after that, I started to collect more Alien DNA, giving me access to millions of Alien Forms. When I came across new Species, the Omnitrix always scans them, and it is registered to what is called a Codon Stream on the Planet of Primus. That's where the DNA goes, and is always logged by a friend of mine into a manifest for Azmuth. We haven't talked in a while, me and Eunice, but if it weren't for her or Azmuth, I don't think I would be able to have this kind of power."
"Fascinating, the Azmuth of our World never created this 'Omnitrix'," Sage stated. "What happened that led to your Azmuth starting this project?"
"The Ascalon was used to destroy an entire planet and it's native species." Ben explained, remembering what Azmuth had told him, Gwen and Kevin.
"In our World, Azmuth never let the Ascalon out of his laboratory because he feared it would be used for that very purpose." Sage said.
"This is all well and good," Rawkus said. "But right now, we have more important things to worry about."
"I think I can help with that," Ben said as he started to find the Blue Sentient DNA on his Omnitrix. After finally coming across it, he grinned. "We just need to make a hell of a lot of adjustments to the Fuser first," he stated before he slammed down onto the Omnitrix. Everyone watched as he started to transform into a Blue Sentient, specifically Sage. "Aura!" he/she called out.
"Ben just transformed into Sage!" Tezz exclaimed. "Fascinating."
"I'm seeing double here all of a sudden!" Agura exclaimed.
"If your World has no Blue Sentients then how do you have that form." Sage asked.
"Oh, it scanned you back on Planet Vandal," Ben's new Blue Sentient Form, Aura, explained. She let out a chuckle. "I honestly don't know how you didn't notice that."
"I did not realize that you could take on our forms," Sage said. She smiled and placed her hand to her chin. "Interesting." She mused.
"We must move quickly if we have any hope of stopping Krytus from destroying the Multiverse," Aura said to Tsukasa, Rawkus, Sage and the Battle Force 5. "I feel Battle Zones weakening. Tezz, Sherman, Spinner, help me out here. We're about to make the equation of the Decade here that could save all Worlds, Battle Zones and Dimensions alike," she said as the three science experts grinned. "You up for the challenge, dudes? That's a rhetorical question, by the way. We really need this to be done!"
"We're on it!" Sherman exclaimed.
"Right away, on the double!" Spinner said enthusiastically.
"You didn't even have to ask." Tezz said calmly.
"Now PARADOX! WE NEED A LITTLE TIME!" Aura called out. Suddenly, time around everyone started to slow down until it came to a halt.
"Time-Walker?" Sage asked as everything around them slowed down.
"Hello, Sage," Professor Paradox said as he came out from a portal, looking to Aura. "It is good to see you again."
"Um, Professor Paradox? I'm Ben. This form is Aura," Aura said. She pointed towards Sage. "That's Sage right there." She said, swinging her arms towards Sage as she smiled to the Time-Walker.
"I know, Ben," Professor Paradox replied. "I was replying to Sage when I arrived, and was saying that it was good to see you again to you just now, Benjamin."
"Oh," Aura said as she rubbed the back of her neck. "I knew that."
"Awkward…" Spinner sang, causing Aura to tense up a little.
"WOULD YOU GET BACK TO WORK?!" Aura yelled.
"Working, working!" Spinner said nervously.
"Tsukasa, I don't mean to boss you around, but get a laptop and start to configure whatever Sherman and Spinner get done," Aura ordered Tsukasa. "Everyone needs to help out in this!" she called out to everyone as she levitated the Fuser in front of her while connecting wires to it at the same time.
Tsukasa started to type at a computer to help out. However, he found that the laptop he was using belonged to Tezz. Every key was in Russian.
"Oi, Tezz," Tsukasa said, getting Tezz to come over. "This key, the one that looks like New Hampshire with legs… that's a 'D', right?"
"Da." Tezz replied back.
"Thanks." Tsukasa replied back.
"Is it just me or is he crazy?" Spinner asked Sherman, referring to Professor Paradox as he came over.
"I may be a little crazy, Spinner," Professor Paradox said, causing Spinner to jump in surprise. "After all, I did spend an immeasurable amount of time in a white void, never aging, never needing to eat, drink, or go to the bathroom."
"Less talking, more working!" Aura called out. "Professor Paradox, attach those cables to the Splitwire and give it a real jolt!"
"How am I supposed to do that?" Paradox asked.
"Aren't Rider Lords supposed to be equipped with all Rider and Sentai weapons at all times?" Sage asked.
Professor Paradox sighed. "Maybe I am crazy," he said to himself. "But that doesn't mean I'm not dull." He stated before connecting the cables to the Splitwire just as Aura had requested.
"How will we complete the modifications to the Fuser?" Sage asked as she walked towards Aura. "It had taken me at least days to create it."
"Now that there are two Blue Sentients here, we can get it done in the next hour," Aura said with a grin on her face. "We both just need to pour our energy into the Fuser, and if everyone does as they're told, we can complete this and put an end to the reign of the Mega Sentient," she said as Sage grinned as well. "Are you ready, Sage?"
Sage nodded. "I believe so," she replied. "Is everyone ready?"
"All set!" Vert called out.
"Ready!" Agura replied.
"Just say the word." Stanford said.
"Standing by!" Zoom called out.
"Go For It!" the Cortez Brothers called out.
"Ready whenever you are." Tezz replied.
"All good here!" AJ replied.
"I trust in you, Ben," Tsukasa said. "I'm ready too."
Aura smiled as everyone started to power up the new Fuser. Both Aura and Sage started to put their energy into the Fuser. After a couple of flashes of light, the Fuser levitated into the air and sent out an energy wave. Everyone looked to it with amazement.
Aura smiled as she pressed her Omnitrix Symbol. She immediately transformed back into Ben.
"Alright," Ben said. "Let's get cracking."
"Incredible," Tezz said as he looked to the newly-modified Fuser. "I've run the calculations with Sage and Sherman hundreds of times. By logic, this should be impossible."
"Yeah, and even if it was, there was only a 0000000000000000000000000.1 chance of it actually working." Sherman stated.
"Just a little something I cooked up with my hyper intelligent forms," Ben said as he displayed layouts of a robot consisting of all vehicles of the Battle Force 5 combined. "Everyone, meet the Machine Ultimate."
"To think that you could actually stabilize the Fuser enough to have each vehicle fuse, is astounding." Sage mused.
"Yeah, well we can continue applauding Ben later," Vert said. "Right now, with the Red Sentient 5 going crazy in their fusion form, we'll need everything we can to get the job done."
"Just one problem," Spinner pointed out. "They're a giant robot, and we're driving cars and a tank! How will this even make a dent in them?!"
"Trust me, you'll see." Ben said.
Suddenly, Sage sensed something.
"It's them, isn't it?" Tsukasa asked.
"Yes," Sage replied. "I sense a new Stormshock approaching."
"That's our cue," Ben said as he looked to Tsukasa. Tsukasa looked back to him as the two grinned. "Let's ride."
"Yeah," Tsukasa replied. "To survive!"
"Let's move it, people!" Vert called out as he got into the Saber.
"Sage, take the Mobi," Ben ordered. "While I was fighting as Way Big, I could sense that only one Red Sentient wasn't fighting. He was free."
"Krytus!" Tsukasa exclaimed.
"He's going to leave the Red Sentient 5 to wreak havoc," Ben said. "You guide everyone through assembling the Machine Ultimate. Tsukasa and I will take him on alone."
"Not without me," Vert said. "Dai-Shocker or not, you're gonna need all the help you can get."
"Let's get moving, everyone!" Ben called out.
"Battle Force 5, Roll Out!" Sage called out as she got into the Mobi.
Everyone started their vehicles and took off. They all rode out of the Hub and towards the Stormshock. As they were riding, Zeke and Grace spotted them from the Diner.
"Looks like another one!" Zeke exclaimed.
Professor Paradox smiled as he walked up beside them. "Indeed," he said before looking to Zeke. "I remember you. You made contact with me when I ended up in Handler's Corners. Remember old me?"
Zeke chuckled. "I never forget a face." He said.
"Nor do I… Rider Lord." Grace said with a smug look on her face.
"Keep an eye on them. You're bound to be in for a surprise." Professor Paradox said before walking away through a Dimension Wall.
Everyone soon arrived in a Battle Zone. All around them were craters, and ships flew through the air as unknown figures flew and destroyed them.
Vert looked up with surprise. "A new Battle Zone?" he asked. "But we collected all the Keys!"
"Apparently not," Tsukasa said as he looked up ahead. "Look! Krytus has broken free!"
Krytus growled as he broke free from the Red Sentient 5 as it continued its rampage. He took notice of the incoming enemies.
"Let's get them," Ben said. "Sage, I have an idea, but I need to scan Krytus for it to work. How long can you hold off the Mega Sentient?"
"We'll hold them off for as long as we can!" Agura replied. "Go for him!"
"I'll hold him off," Tsukasa said. "Ben, when I get an opening, you go for it!" he called out before taking out his Ride Booker. "Here I go!"
"Wait," Ben said as he grabbed the Ride Booker. He took out his RideSaber and placed it in Tsukasa's hand. "Use this instead."
"What about you?" Tsukasa asked.
"I have a plan," Ben said as he placed Tsukasa's Ride Booker in place of the RideSaber. "Go! I'll catch up with you!"
Tsukasa nodded. "Sure know your stuff," he said before running towards Krytus, who activated his blade arm as he ran towards him. "Henshin!"
KAMEN RIDE: DECADE!
Ben held his hand in the air. Everyone looked on with surprise, even the fighters of the Battle Zone, as Mjolnir flew right to Ben. Soon, Mjolnir flew to Ben as thunder boomed and lightning struck.
"Another device not created by the Blue Sentients," Sage mused. "Interesting."
"Such a weapon of great power," Krytus said as he looked to Ben and Tsukasa. "Give it to me!"
"You want Ben, you'll have to go through me!" Tsukasa exclaimed as he ran towards Krytus.
Krytus swung at Tsukasa, who shot at him with the Mega Cannon. Krytus deflected the blast before Ben struck at him with two overhead slashes. Krytus managed to block these before Ben ran in and slammed Mjolnir at him. Krytus growled as Tsukasa slashed at him while he was open.
"Finally, Kamen Rider Decade, and the boy who humiliated me," Krytus said as he picked up Ben by his left arm as he prepared to attack Krytus once again. "Any last words?"
"Say 'Ahh'." Ben quipped as he used the Omnitrix to scan Krytus.
"Unknown DNA Source Detected. Scanning…"
"What is that?!" Krytus demanded as Ben sent Krytus a smug look. Krytus was soon scanned. "What is it doing?!"
"Red Sentient DNA Registered to Codon Stream."
"I have what I need," Ben said as he and Tsukasa slashed at Krytus. "How are you guys with the Mega Sentient?"
"Holding out fairly well." Sage replied as she and the Battle Force 5 continued to fire at the Mega Sentient.
"And by that, she means we're getting our backsides handed to us!" Spinner exclaimed as the Mega Sentient charged towards them, armed with a flail.
"Maybe this will help," Ben said. He held Mjolnir up into the air and let lightning energize it. He let out a yell as he sent lightning towards the legs of the Mega Sentient, causing it to fall. "How's that?"
"Just the opening we need!" Agura quipped. She looked down to Ben and Tsukasa and sent them a salute. "Thanks, Decades."
"We're gaining on them." Vert said.
"Alright everyone, hold it steady until I say so," Ben said before he flew on top of the Mobi. He started to scroll throughout the Aliens in his Omnitrix before selecting Krytus's form. "Bingo," he quipped as he slammed down onto the Omnitrix. "Krimson!" he called out.
"Ben, you're a Red Sentient!" Tsukasa exclaimed as he slashed at Krytus. "And he's better than you!" he spat before spinning around and slashing Krytus away.
"Just a new form," Krimson replied back. "While I'm a Red Sentient, call me Krimson!"
"So awesome!" Vert exclaimed.
"Ready, wait for it, wait for it, wait for it…" Krimson said as he accessed the controls. "Okay! SAGE NOW!" he called out as he sent data through the controls.
Sage did the same as she sent data through her own controls.
"Data accepted, Machine Ultimate ready for transformation."
"'Transformation'?" Stanford asked. "Ben, you'd better know what you're doing!"
The Mega Sentient looked towards all of the Battle Force 5 Vehicles as the Machine Ultimate started to form.
"BATTLE FORCE!" the Mega Sentient growled before letting out a roar.
"Ben, what do we do?" Agura asked.
"Do as I say and pour as much energy into your steering devices as you can." Krimson ordered.
"He'd better be right about this." AJ said.
The Mega Sentient roared as it blasted a large ray at the Battle Force 5 Vehicles.
"NOW!" both Ben and Sage called out.
Krimson and Sage both sent loads of data and energy into the Core CPU with the rest of the team.
"Data accepted, beginning Battle Mode transformation."
The Mobi soon split apart with a part in the center intact, which changed into a mini robot, with the parts spinning around it in a data shield.
"Activating final docking procedures, checking stability." Krimson said.
"100% stable, beginning final phases of Battle Mode transformation." Sage reported.
"All systems green, final docking procedures begin… now!" Tezz called out.
The Machine Ultimate began to come together, with the arms folding up into the shoulders and turn upside down with parts coming to cover the arms with new arm pieces connecting to the holding pieces creating new shoulders and arms, the feet folding into themselves and the lower legs sliding up and new pieces starting to cover the legs with new pieces becoming new lower legs. The Chopper flew on top of the Reverb as they both attached to the back, where cannons and wings formed. Agura's Tangler formed pads on the elbows and knees of the Machine Ultimate while forming the front of the Machine Ultimate's Chest. The Buster and the GearSlammer both attached to the legs while the Splitwire formed both right and left arm gauntlets. The front of the Mobi levitated to the chest, becoming the new chest area, with a large helmet came up to cover the soon-to-be robot's head, with the blades of the Saber coming together to create a large version of Vert's normal sword. As soon as the robot gained its sword, the rest of the Saber formed a battle helmet, the new Machine Ultimate now complete.
"Docking complete, Battle Mode transformation finished." Sherman reported as everyone gained controls for the Machine Ultimate's Battle Mode.
"MODE CHANGE COMPLETE! ULTIMECH READY! UNITE AND STRIKE!" Sage and Krimson called out.
Tsukasa looked up and grinned. He suddenly felt Krytus coming back for another attack and leapt away, spinning around into the air.
"Decade Sonic Boom!" Tsukasa called out, sending a magenta Sonic Boom towards Krytus.
Krimson reverted back into Ben and landed down next to Tsukasa as he reverted back to himself as well.
"Destroy Kamen Rider Decade…" Krytus said. "That's what the Great Leader of Dai-Shocker said. Once I finish off you, the Organic, my Sister and the Battle Force 5, my vengeance shall be complete!"
"Oh, but you've already failed," Tsukasa said. "There isn't one Kamen Rider Decade you have to deal with… it's all of them!"
"What?!" Krytus demanded.
"Tsukasa Kadoya, the first Decade!" Tsukasa proclaimed as he was handed back his Ride Booker.
"Ben Tennyson, The Next Decade!" Ben called out as he wielded both the RideSaber and Mjolnir.
KAIGAN: DECADE! YOMIKOMU CARD! KAO GA BARCODE!
"What was that?!" Krytus demanded as he heard the new strange sound.
"Kamen Rider Decade has no end," a voice said. Krytus turned around to see a Kamen Rider with the armor of Decade, only with a ghostly-looking chestplate, the Decade Helmet, and a mantle resembling the armor. "We are his legacy!"
DRIVE: TYPE BARCODE! ON THE ROAD!
Krytus turned to see another Kamen Rider with Decade's armor. He was a car-themed Rider.
SOIYA! DECADE ARMS: HAKAISHA ON THE ROAD!
The next Kamen Rider who appeared was Gaim, donning his own Decade Armor.
"Saa, Showtime!" Kamen Rider Wizard proclaimed as he appeared, armed with the WizardSwordGun.
"Uchuu Kitaa!" Kamen Rider Fourze proclaimed, appearing beside Kamen Rider Wizard.
DECADE! COMPLETE! VIOLENT! DI-KEI-DO! KAMEN RIDER DIKEIDO!
"Seiya!" Kamen Rider OOO exclaimed, appearing with the three Kamen Rider Decade Core Medals placed on his OOO Driver as Kamen Rider Decade Complete Form.
CYCLONE! JOKER!
"HENSHIN!"
CYCLONE! JOKER!
Kamen Rider W appeared as Krytus turned to see both Shotaro and Philip.
"Eight Decades?!" Krytus exclaimed in disbelief.
"No," another voice said, this one a mixture of Tsukasa and Ben's voices. "Nine."
Everyone gazed at the sight of Kamen Rider Dark Decade, wielding a RideSaber instead of a RideSlayer, the blade magenta instead of blue.
"Who are you?!" Krytus demanded as he looked to the Decade Riders around him.
"We're Passing-Through…" Ben started out.
"Kamen Riders…" Tsukasa went on.
"REMEMBER THAT!" Ben and Tsukasa called out as they placed their Decadrivers on their waists. They took out their Decade KamenRide Cards and held them out in front of them. "HENSHIN!"
KAMEN RIDE: DECADE!
Krytus growled and sent a blast towards Ben and Tsukasa, only for them to immediately transform into Kamen Rider Decade and fire back. The rest of the Riders did the same from all around.
"Krytus, begone!" Ben called out as he held Mjolnir in the air. All of the Riders looked on as Ben sent lightning towards Krytus before the two new Kamen Riders with the mantle of Decade ran in and slashed at him with their Ride Bookers. Gaim took out his Musou Saber and shot at Krytus from behind before slashing at him with Wizard. Fourze and OOO both leapt in and landed twin Rider Punches at Krytus as Kamen Rider W and the new Kamen Rider Dark Decade spun and slashed Krytus towards Ben and Tsukasa.
Ben readied his RideSaber and Mjolnir while Tsukasa used his Ride Booker along with Ben's own Ride Booker. Once Krytus reached them, the two slashed at him, sending him into a wall.
"All Power to Saber!" Sage called out as she and Vert used the sword mode of the Saber to slash at the Mega Sentient, only to get sent back.
"YOU WON'T WIN! WE ARE MORE POWERFUL THAN YOU WILL EVER BE!" the Mega Sentient roared.
"Let us test that theory." Sage quipped.
"All cannons, fire!" Tezz called out, shooting at the Mega Sentient with the arm and chest cannons. The blasts successfully sent the Mega Sentient into the air.
"Here's a little extra more!" Stanford called out.
The Sonic Cannons from the Reverb shot at the Mega Sentient as it fell to the ground.
"Everyone! Time to finish this off!" Ben called out.
"Yeah!" Tsukasa called out as he, Ben and the new Dark Decade took out their Cards and placed them into their Drivers.
FINAL ATTACK RIDE: D-D-DECADE!
FINAL ATTACK RIDE: D-D-DARK DECADE!
DECADE! MAXIMUM DRIVE!
TRIPLE SCANNING CHARGE: DECADE!
DECADE ON! LIMIT BREAK!
CHOINE! DIMENSION KICK STRIKE! SAIKYO!
SOIYA! DECADE SQUASH!
HISSATSU! FULL THROTTLE! BARCODE!
DAI KAIGAN: DECADE! OMEGA DRIVE!
"Ultimech Saber! Unite and Strike! Final Slash!" Vert and Sage both called out as the Ultimech Saber spun around.
As the Ultimech raised the Saber into the air, all of the Kamen Riders leapt up and let the Rider Cards appear in front of them towards Krytus.
At the same time, the Ultimech slashed down at the Mega Sentient while all Riders landed their Dimension Kicks down onto Krytus. Both Krytus and the Mega Sentient yelled as they fell in a fiery explosion.
"Okay, everyone disengage," Vert ordered. "We have to find the Respawn Chambers before Krytus and the others regenerate."
"They could be anywhere at this time!" Agura exclaimed. "And I'm not picking up their signatures anywhere in the Multiverse."
"But if they come back, you'll be ready." Tsukasa said.
Ben nodded as he looked to all the other Riders. "Thank you all," he said. "We won't forget this."
"The Kamen Riders will always be with you." The red-appeal car-themed Kamen Rider said as he walked away.
"See you soon!" the belt said.
"Well, that's new." Tsukasa mused.
The car-themed Kamen Rider saluted everyone and left through a Dimension Wall as the Rider with the jacket sent a salute as well.
"Give my regards to Danny!" the ghost-themed Kamen Rider said before disappearing.
"What about you, Gaim?" Ben asked. "Where are you headed?"
"Ah, gotta settle some things back home," Kamen Rider Gaim said. "But you can call me Kota. Kazuraba Kota," he said before walking away. "Mai and Micchi won't believe this." He said to himself as he walked away through what seemed to be a zipper into a forest.
"See you soon, Ben." Haruto said as he placed a Ring over his WizarDriver.
TELEPORT, PLEASE!
"Can't wait till you come to my World!" Kamen Rider Fourze said. "Kamen Rider Kitaa!" he cheered before flying away.
ROCKET ON!
"See you back at the Mansion." Eiji said as he walked away.
"Us too." Shotaro said.
"Me? I've gotta get back to some research," Philip said. "I'll check in every now and then."
The new Kamen Rider Dark Decade chuckled as he disappeared through his own Silver Dimension Wall.
The Ultimech disassembled, letting all vehicles land on the ground safely. The skies started to clear up, and a Battle Key floated towards Ben, Tsukasa and Vert.
"Awesome! We got the Battle Key!" Vert exclaimed. He tried to grab it, but it flew to Ben instead and changed shape.
"Oi, what's going on?" Tsukasa asked.
"A piece of the Potis Altiare?" Ben asked as he looked to the lost piece. "So this is where it was… the War Zone."
"Potis Altiare?" Tsukasa and Vert asked.
"A device that the First Sentient created along with the MCYK Rider Drivers, the very first Rider powers in existence." Sage explained.
"Wait a minute," Ben said as he looked to Sage. "The Sentients created the Color Spectrum Rider powers?!"
"With a little help from a Time Traveler." Sage said as she looked to Professor Paradox from a building nearby.
"Guess there's a first for everything." Ben mused.
"You're going places, Ben," Tsukasa said. "I know it."
Later on, at Zeke's Diner, all of the Battle Force 5 were having pizza with Tsukasa and Ben.
"Pretty big group here, guys," Grace said. "How are you gonna pay for this?"
"Here," Ben said as he handed Grace a check. "This should help pay everything."
"Well, I'll be! Tony Stark's credentials!" Zeke exclaimed. "I can't believe this!"
"Tony Stark?" Vert asked. "Wow, must be some Alliance you have, Ben."
"Ben's just full of surprises," Tsukasa said. "And considering what I saw from you, I now believe that I know the right person to select to become The Next Decade."
"And now, I know…" Ben started out as he took out his Twins Reflex Camera. "That Ultimate Dai-Shocker won't try to get their hands on this World again," he said as he took a picture of Tsukasa with the Battle Force 5. "Can't believe I never brought that up this whole time."
"I'm sure that you can take care of it," AJ said. "After all, you have a whole Alliance backing you up."
"Yeah," Ben chuckled. He walked towards Sherman and Spinner. "And don't think I forgot about my promise to tell you all about the Aliens." He said while making sure that Zeke did not hear what he was saying.
However, Zeke heard parts of what Ben was now saying to the Cortez Brothers.
"Riders," Zeke said as he looked to Grace. "They change all the time."
Aboard the Dark Crisis, Kalus and Zemerik were called by General Jark and ShadowMoon to meet with the Great Leader of Dai-Shocker.
"We succeeded in bringing back the Red Sentients…" Kalus started out.
"But we have suffered several casualties," Zemerik added on. "Many of my factories are in ruins, and some of the weapons you have requested have been delayed, Great Leader."
"It matters not," the Great Leader of Dai-Shocker said as he came out of the shadows. Both Zemerik and Kalus were shocked to see the one person who looked exactly like Ben Tennyson: Albedo. "My drive to conquer the Worlds has been increased… especially now that I know that Ben Tennyson is involved. We can all have our revenge," he stated. "Isn't that right… Krytus?"
Zemerik and Kalus looked with surprise as Krytus came out from the shadows with the rest of the Red Sentient 5.
"How?" Kalus asked.
"We got their Respawn Chambers during the random attacks," Kamen Rider Soul Archer said as he walked over. "This is where they now go to recover."
"Nice of you to make it back, my friend…" Albedo said as Kamen Rider Soul Archer deactivated his ArcherDriver. "…Ronin."
Ronin looked back to Albedo and grinned evilly.
"Everything is falling into place." Ronin said sinisterly.
"Indeed, my friend," Albedo said. "Indeed."
Back at the Hub, Ben was taking one last picture of Tsukasa with the Battle Force 5.
"I have repurposed the Battle Key," Sage said as she walked towards Ben after the picture was taken. "With it, you are able to travel back to your time, and it will return to us after."
Ben nodded as he looked to Tsukasa. "See ya, Tsukasa," he said. "Never stop passing through!" he called out before mounting his Machine Decader.
"We'll contact you when you get back to your time!" Vert called out.
"Consider yourselves part of the Alliance of Ten!" Ben called out before riding away. Everyone watched as he rode into the Stormshock back to his own time.
"Time for me to go too," Tsukasa said as he shook hands with Vert. "Good work."
"You too," Vert said. "Take care."
Tsukasa nodded as he got onto his Machine Decader and walked away. He turned around and smiled. "Alliance of Ten?" he pondered. "Thank you, Ben 10, for continuing where I left off." He said before leaving through a Silver Dimension Wall.
Back in Bellwood, Ben drove out of the Stormshock back to his House. Everyone was waiting for him there.
"What happened?" Marvelous asked.
"Where did you go?" Danny asked.
"You wouldn't believe me if I told you," Ben said as he looked to the Decade KamenRide Card. "But I met an old friend… one who is bound to be with us again."
All of a sudden, energy came out from the Stormshock and made its way to the Gokaigers. Each of them looked to see the Keys of the Battle Force 5.
"Ben, there's a transmission coming through," Zak reported. "From a Vert Wheeler."
"Great!" Ben exclaimed. "Put him through!"
"Hey there, Ben," Vert's voice said. "Surprised?"
"Knew you'd find us," Ben mused. "Wanna meet the Alliance?"
"Already on our way." Vert said as he and the Battle Force 5 raced through a Stormshock.
As soon as the Battle Force 5 entered the Stormshock, a solar flare occurred. From the Stormshock, darker-colored versions of the Battle Force 5 came out and raced towards the Dark Crisis.
Ronin looked to the vehicles, and his eyes widened. "Of course!" he exclaimed. "To the Sark Homeworld… effective immediately!"
