Ridley's Revenge, part 4 - Crouching Ridley, Hidden Mach

Tribute to: Kamen Rider Drive Saga: Kamen Rider Chaser and Kamen Rider W Returns: Kamen Rider Accel


Author's Note:

Before I forget, as the main four party members of the crossover fic, Samus, Mitsuzane, Takatora, and Go - they have something that matches the Four-Man Band trope. It becomes a Five-Man Band if any random Kamen Riders are featured in a chapter.

Only Sane Man - Mitsuzane Kureshima/Armored Rider Ryugen/New Generation Rider Zangetsu Shin II

The Smart Guy - Takatora Kureshima/Armored Rider Zangetsu/New Generation Rider Zangetsu Shin I

The Chick and The Leader - Samus Aran

The Butt Monkey - Go Shijima/Kamen Rider Mach

Sixth Ranger - In the case of this chapter, Ryu Terui/Kamen Rider Accel, and to an extent, Shinnosuke Tomari/Kamen Rider Drive.

P.S., this part is going to be much of an overkill, not to mention, fourth wall breaks.


-Bullying the Space Dragon-

(soundtrack: "Full Throttle" from Kamen Rider Drive (2014-2015); Lyrics by: Shoko Fujibayashi; Composition and Arrangement by: tatsuo; Performed by: S.S.P.D. ~Steel Sound Police Dept.~)

As Super Dead Heat Mach blasts off to fight Ridley, a very energetic rock music plays.

"Nice! The author managed to play my theme song into this chapter!" Go said with excitement. "Thanks man, I owe you one!"

"Your theme song? You have your OWN theme song?!" Samus's consciousness raised an eyebrow.

"Every Kamen Rider gets their own theme song in battle. And this is my jam! S.S.P.D. Makes awesome music, and I paid them to feature my music when I returned here to Japan to join Shin-niisan and neechan!" Go trivially said. And then drew out a megaphone with the size of Samus's Arm Cannon.

The Booster Ride Crosser lands safely as Mitsuzane regroups with Takatora, Chase, and Terui, whom both looking on at Super Dead Heat Mach's confrontation against Ridley. However, Mitsuzane notices that Go is holding a megaphone.

"Senpai... What are you doing?!" he droned.

Ridley bluffed as he is being confronted by only one Kamen Rider. "What are you trying to do, make fool out of yourself?! In that case..."

"Can you feel that music... This chapter is going to be ALL ABOUT ME!" Go replied bluntly as he puts the megaphone into maximum volume of 1000, as he leans it in front of his helmet... "Readers, cover your ears, this one's going to get even louder!"

Go starts singing the song. [~Mataseta ne Hey, Ladies and Gentlemen junbi wa ii?Madwa mitaiken no shock kimi ni misete ageru~]

[~Tatoereba It's an Amazing Circus! totsuzen ni~] Go's megaphone also began to emit transparent rings from the "mouth", which is in fact coming from his voice. [~machi ni arawareta magic dare mo toriko ni naru~] With Go singing on the megaphone, it even causes Ridley's sense of hearing to deteriorate in three seconds due to the insane amount of volume. Not only that, the loud and piercing noise from Go's singing also causes Mitsuzane, Takatora, Chase, and Terui to cover their ears in pain.

"My ears are going to break..." Mitsuzane droned as the loudness of Go's megaphone is proven too much to handle.

[~Mokuteki hataseru nara Eye-for-Eye Justice~]

[~Piero wa chotto kowai sa sou iu mono seija double face?~]

[~Tobase! Tobase! Signal ga ore no spotlight~]
[~Tobase! Tobase! Oitsukasenai mahha no speed~]

[~Warui kedo michi wa yuzurenai Break wa nai~]

[~Full throttle!~]

"MAKE... HIM... STOP!" the Space Dragon roared, as his attempts to swat Mach away was all for naught. Super Dead Heat Mach managed to dodge Ridley's claws and fire balls all without a little to no effort due to the amalgamation of the leg parts of Samus's Power Suit, allowing him to take flight.

"Right back at you." Go said, as he stopped singing, but the music continues. Back on the ground, Mitsuzane, Takatora, Terui, and Chase, still on their Rider forms; looked on as the music finally stops. Then, they finally return back to action, as Terui transforms into Accel Booster, and takes to the skies.

Then, Takatora and Mitsuzane stand on the sides of the Booster Ride Crosser as Chase pilots the vehicle, as they proceed to overwhelm Ridley.

(Super Dead Heat) Mach spun the Zenrin Shooter three times, causing the weapon to exclaim "ZENRIN!", when he hits the uppercut on (Proto-)Ridley's crotch, he screams, "Shoryuuken!"

"Ehhh?!" Mitsuzane looked on from above. Was he playing Street Fighter V?! Mitsuzane thought to himself.

Samus seems to be even more irritated at Go. "Wrong franchise, moron!" With that, she decides to take control of Go's body and as Super Dead Heat Mach. But...

"You! You're insane!" Ridley was shocked how Mach was able to uppercut the Space Dragon below the belt. Or is it?!

Samus's soul began to be even more irritated. "That's just wrong..."

Go threw what Ridley said, "Not as insane as you think!" As he continues smashing the Space Dragon's private parts with his Zenrin Shooter.

[~Kokorogoto Hey, Ladies and Gentlemen zutto mahha~]
[~Saishin Next System ima taibou no debut~]

"Okay, Peter Parker... Now you've got me mad!" Ridley has had enough. Still, Super Dead Heat Mach continues turning the tables.

Peter Parker he says? Wait, do even Space Dragons read comics?! Go deadpanned on his thoughts. Within moments, Ridley swipes Mach a second later with his claws, holding the Kamen Rider onto his hands, gripping him...

[~Joushiki hamidashite mo ore no ryuugi~]
[~Hihan wa uketsukenai sukoshi naraba ochite mo ii~].

"Aggghhh!" Mitsuzane grunted, considering the fact Samus is also synchronized to him, despite she is Trans-Fused with Mach. "Senpai... Stop fooling around!"

[~Tobase! tobase!omota me na kuuki kakimawase~]
[~Tobase! tobase!dore mo izure mo mahha no supiido~]

"Mitsuzane, are you alright?" Takatora checked on Mitsuzane. Even when the huntress merged into Shijima-kun's body, it seems Mitsuzane begins to experience their pain altogether. The older Kureshima thought.

"Good night, RoboCop!" Ridley hissed before letting out a roar. To Go, Ridley's breath is just as bad as he is. Moments later, "Power... FULL THROTTLE! YAAAHOOOO!" Go shouted, as he breaks free from Ridley's deathly grip, causing Super Dead Heat Mach to release red multiple bolts of electricity from his body, the electricity on his body also induces a Gravity Acceleration on Ridley, rendering him in a slowdown.

[~Nando demo kudaiteku yabou~]
[~Break wa nai Full throttle~]

Moments later, Shinnosuke and Kiriko arrived the scene, as they see the party fought the recently resurrected Ridley. This time, Shinnosuke transforms into Drive Type Formula, and joins the frey.

"Shin-niisan?!" Go sees Shinnosuke from above ground, as he all while managing to dodge Ridley's claw swipes.

"Go and the bounty hunter merged into one!" Shinnosuke said, right at Kiriko, who sat on the left side of the Tridoron, looking on the battle. Drive leaves as Kiriko stayed on the Tridoron.

"Tomari-kun!" Takatora noticed Shinnosuke's presence as Drive proceeds to aim the Trailer-Hou at Ridley.

Once Drive loads Shift Speed and Wild on the container, with Shift Formula inserted on top, he fires. The Trailer Impact managed to weaken Ridley even further.

"Sammy-chan... Take the driver's seat!" Go said, as he allows Samus to take control of his body as Super Dead Heat Mach.


-Last Spurt-

"About time. Looks like Ridley doesn't know what's coming to him!" Samus's consciousness said, when Super Dead Heat Mach's visor began flaring. In the inside view of Go's helmet, his eyes began to change into light blue coloration, matching Samus's usual eyes; indicating that Samus is Super Dead Heat Mach.

[~Focus amaku nattara chansu wo nogasu~]
[~Burenai kokoro no me de kono sekai wo mitsumeteitai! YEAH!~]

"Hey!" Samus calls out her archnemesis, while controlling Super Dead Heat Mach's body.

"SAMUSS!" the Space Dragon hissed. "Now that motormouth mook you so call a Kamen Rider is out of the way-"

"In fact, I'm inside of his body!" Samus threw back what Ridley said then fires the Zenrin Shooter on Ridley, with the weapon exclaiming "SHOOTER!".

[~Tobase! tobase! Signal ga ore no spotlight~]
[~Tobase! tobase! Oitsukasenai kono speed~]

"Signal Bike! Signal Koukan: KAKSARN!" Samus loads the Signal Kaksarn on Mach's belt. And fires the Zenrin Shooter at Ridley. "SHOOTER! BURST! KAKSARN!", the weapon declared all while pressing the Mach Driver Honoh's boost ignition. Doing so, Ridley is being overwhelmed by a hail of laser bullets.

Samus makes an ultimatum before she and the Kamen Riders finish Ridley off, "Ridley, before you may join Mother Brain along with the rest of your Space Pirate mooks in Hell. Don't you fuck with a Kamen Rider!"

"SIGNAL BIKE SHIFT CAR! RIDER! DEAD HEAT!" Samus re-inserts Shift Dead Heat back on the Mach Driver, thus reverting the shoulder Signal Kourin back to that of (Super) Dead Heat Mach's.

[~Tobase! tobase! Omota me na kuuki kakimawase~]
[~Tobase! tobase!Dore mo izure mo mahha no supiido~]

"Go, take it from here! Finish him off now!" Samus switches back to Go.

"Let's go, Mitsuzane!" Takatora instructed., who is standing on the left side of the Booster Ride Crosser.

"Right!" the young Kureshima replied.

*MELON SQUASH!*

*MELON ENERGY SQUASH!*

Both Kureshima brothers activated their belts' Squash Function, as they proceed to land their Rider Kicks at Ridley in his Roidmude body. The end of the brothers' kicks sends the Space Dragon back to the ground.

"Im...possible..." Ridley said in a hoarse and broken voice. "Me, beaten by mere humans. I won't accept that!"

"ENGINE! MAXIMUM DRIVE!" Accel inserts the Engine Memory on his sword, as he proceeds to do a generate a projectile coming from his blade that forms the letter A, and is shot out at Ridley.

Shinnosuke, as Drive, loads Shift Mantarn and Jacky on the Trailer Hou, while taking the form of Type Formula. "FULL FULL FORMULA TAI HOU!", upon firing the Trailer-Hou, releasing a large stream of energy that can instantly deteriorate Ridley's skin even further.

"Last spurt." Go said, as he is about to go full throttle. "Hissatsu!" the Mach Driver stated, within moments, a sphere which happens to be Samus in her Morph Ball form suddenly materializes in front of Mach. He proceeds to kick Samus straight to Ridley (in her Morph Ball form) like a soccer ball. Doing so, the ball transitions into a buzzsaw of electrical energy, assuming to be Samus doing her Screw Attack.

"Here's Sammy!" Samus smirked as her Screw Attack connects at her archenemy.

Go, on the other hand, makes a reference to Stanley Kubrick's film, "The Shining". He said, "So much for Jack Nicholson."

"BURST! FULL THROTTLE! DEAD HEAT!" Mach finally activates his Full Throttle function, as he starts somersaulting continuously like Samus's Screw Attack and he finally unleashes a flying kick full of concentrated energy at Ridley. Incapacitating the Space Dragon.

[~Warui kedo michi wa yuzurenai~]

Once Dead Heat Mach landed on the ground, he reverts to normal, as he executed a finisher that allows him to jettison Samus out from his body. Speaking of Samus, she later landed safely on the ground after Mach.

"Chase! Take the spotlight this time!" Go shouted, as he allows Chaser to deliver the coup de grace.

"TUNE: HOOKING WRECKER!", upon inserting Shift Hooking Wrecker on the Break Gunner, Chase uses it in a similar manner to Samus's Grapple Beam, while holding the Shingou Axe on his right hand. As the Shingou Axe is still in red light...

[~Break wa nai Full throttle!~]

"Itteiyo!" the axe exclaims as it goes green light.

"No, no, no! No-no-no-no-no! Not the axe! NOT THE AXE! No, please! ANYTHING BUT THAT AXE!" Ridley starts begging for mercy as Chase is about to slash Ridley with the Shingou Axe. Before doing so...

"Ehem..." Go looks at the fourth wall, giving the audience a warning. "A note from the author: No Space Dragons are harmed in the writing of this story!"

...within moments Chase decapitates and eviscerates Ridley with the Shingou Axe, leaving the dead Space Dragon but his head. And the battle is over.

To Samus, the way Chase destroyed Ridley is nothing more but overkill, but she thinks that Ridley deserves it, showing that, as what Ridley claims, being called the "Cunning God of Death" is nothing but bluff. The way Ridley begged for mercy before Chase is about to slice him into pieces was music to the bounty hunter's ears.


-Post-mortem-

"Hell yeah!" Go exclaimed with an ecstatic mood. "Now that's an epic finish!", then he runs to Samus. "Hey, Sammy-chan! Did you see what I- er... Did you see what we did! Man, we are a great combo, just like you and Mitsuzane-kun!"

(soundtrack: Metroid Ending from Super Smash Bros. For 3DS and WiiU)

"I knew that mouth of yours would be a very deadly weapon for some reasons." Samus smirked, and slowly curved her mouth with a smile. "Hey, what are you-"

As Ridley's dismembered head is right ahead of the party, Go grabs a monopod, with his smartphone attached. Looks like Mitsuzane notices that Go is taking a selfie, with Ridley's head on the backdrop, much to everybody's shocked reaction. The party undo their transformed forms, and Samus deactivates her suit.

"I'm so posting this on Instagram! Professor Harley's gonna be shocked to see this." Go has the intention to make his picture and the decapitated Ridley on the backdrop to be viral; much to the annoyance of the party. Afterwards, he cancels his transformation, with the Mach Driver saying, "Otsukare!"

Go starts lying on the ground, with his arms and legs widened.

"Go!" Kiriko and Shinnosuke ran into his aid. "Are you alright, Go?" his sister asked.

"Don't worry about me, neechan. I had a buttload of awesomeness today. I just gave the reader what's coming up next." Go reassured, all while he appears to be tired. The Kamen Rider with a Mouth turns his attention to Mitsuzane and Samus.

"This is one of my ways to impress the ladies, Mitsuzane-kun. You and Sammy-chan are lucky to have me around." Go bumps his fist with the young Kureshima. "Thanks for giving me with the name, the Kamen Rider with a Mouth. Well, the readers do think of me of Deadpool, I'm proud of it!"

"As always, running your mouth to get attention to others. But nevertheless, I gotta hand it to you, Go. You really fight like a pro." Samus said, as she plants a smooch onto Go's cheek, causing him to let out a steam as his face suddenly turns red, and he immediately took a snooze.

"Go!" Kiriko tries to wake his little brother up.

"Just let him be, Kiriko." Shinnosuke interrupted.

This kid has one heck of disregard for danger. I bet there is more to anyone than meets the eye. Samus has her thoughts on Go. "I guess we did a pretty good job back there. Thank you, guys." she commended the other Riders who helped her of vanquishing Ridley. Afterwards, Terui takes his leave.

"Nii-san... What do you think about Shijima-senpai?" Mitsuzane started asking his brother.

Takatora rolled his eyes, "I will have to agree with the others. I have no regrets for letting him becoming my bodyguard. Nevertheless, Samus has earned the admiration of you and Shijima-kun."

"Admiration?" Mitsuzane raised an eyebrow.

Takatora begins to explain everything. "You see, Samus began to warm up to us. In your case, she first thought that she can't stay alone forever because when you are having your problem reconciling with your past; she decided to listen attentively to your woes, which drove you to continue protecting others. That's why you made it clear that you and Samus decide to share each other's pain."

"That's right..." Mitsuzane nodded his head. "After I put the past behind, it seems I finally felt so peaceful with her. It was the reason why she chose to love me as a woman."

Takatora continued. "True. Even though she had lost her comrades in her world. In here, she has more friends here - us, Shijima-kun, and the other Kamen Riders she had befriended. Speaking of Shijima-kun, it's his strong will and disregard for danger that earned him the admiration from Samus."

"So, that's then." Mitsuzane concluded.

"Okay, we're done here! Roll credits!" Go said. "Just kidding, we still got more!"


-Calling it a day-

Later that same night...

Back in the safehouse in Nozama City...

Samus and Mitsuzane returned to the safehouse to celebrate their victory over the former's archenemy. While Takatora, Chase, and Go stayed in Zawame.

"What a day..." Samus sighed. "What a victory... I can't imagine how did Chaser managed to brutally disembowel Ridley with just him."

"Yeah, as long as you don't have to worry about enemies from your world. You still have quest to fulfill to find the other Kamen Riders." Mitsuzane reassured.

"That's right." she replied. "And, speaking of that, Go is really something to be honest."

Mitsuzane somehow agrees to what Samus said. "Yes. Senpai likes to annoy his foes by running his mouth, before giving them a beating."

He turns on the TV, and see what's going on.

"This just in... The Kamen Riders fought this giant alien dinosaur in Zawame earlier today, along with the help of this mysterious, alien-like creature on their side! The battle was just as fantastic... And after the fight, one of the Kamen Riders took a selfie at the dead alien's head; as it went viral, it went over a 10,000 likes! This is Sayaka Homura for your breaking news!"

Well, to Samus; keeping her identity secret from public media is also a must. As she is literally seen on TV for the first time.

Samus decides to turn off the lights before sleeping. "Let's call this a day for now. Good night, Mitsuzane."


To be continued...


Author's Note #2:

The way Ridley is begging for mercy before Chase is about to eviscerate him evokes from Kamen Rider Drive's episode where Chaser Mach clashes with Gold Drive, where Go is about to destroy Banno in his belt form.

Next will be Gandrayda, Ghor, and Rundas.
