Disembodied Souls (vs. Gandrayda, part 2) - Ryugen's Super Genesis Transformation!

Tribute to: Metroid Prime 3: Corruption and Kamen Rider x Kamen Rider Drive & Gaim: Movie War Full Throttle


Author's Notes:

According to sources found from Wikitroid, Gandrayda appears to have a very flighty and flirtatious personality; also she's a master shape shifter. This means, she WILL also transform into any Kamen Rider of the Neo-Heisei Period, this means she's like Kamen Rider Decade, but uses the Rider's transformation trinkets, for example, Gandrayda will equip herself with Drive's Shift Brace if ever she wants to become Kamen Rider Drive.

Samus's Gunship, as for the remainder of this chapter will also serve as a transport to her party allowing them to fly to the previously revisited locations, similar to the HM Fly from the Pokemon games, so this is easier for Samus and Mitsuzane to return to Zawame.

Fun fact: Samus is Roux Louka to Mitsuzane's Judau Ashta from Gundam ZZ.

Dedicated to: MsSamusAran, JayRain, and LadyAran


-Meet Kyu Saijo-

After testing out his new Rider Form, going by the name of Ryugen Melon Energy Arms, Mitsuzane undoes his transformation.

"Samus, I don't know how to say this... But, how were you able to figure that out in the first place?" Mitsuzane demanded.

In response, "It seems that Takatora's co-workers have been keeping so many secrets, even inside of this device.", the bounty hunter seems to conclude about Yggdrasil Corporation's secrets, something that neither of the Kureshima brothers are aware of. "By the way, I found microchip inside the Genesis Driver, which initiates a self-destruct mechanism. And I safely removed it with Adam's help."

"That's right, Sengoku Ryoma had fitted his Genesis Drivers with circuit breakers that he alone can detonate it. He first destroyed my... Umm, the Genesis Driver that was first my brother used before I recovered it." Mitsuzane nodded his head. Remembering the time when he had Takatora's Genesis Driver at that time. "This is the only Genesis Driver that nii-san was able to retrieve when Ryoma was resurrected by a unified alien entity."

"And to be honest, Sengoku Ryoma is a creep. He tricked me into killing Kouta-san so he can get the Golden Fruit embedded from Mai-san's body..." Mitsuzane recalls the very fateful day Kouta and Mai die right before his eyes to Samus.

The bounty hunter shook her head in disbelief. "That's terrible... That's why you are but a slave to those villains they've fought."

Mitsuzane sighed, "Even after three months when Helheim is eradicated from the world, I felt so utterly deprived to the point I have no right to forgive those I've betrayed."

"At least you and Takatora were able to bury the hatchet after everything what happened on the past. Until, that you managed to share your woes to me." Samus patted Mitsuzane on the shoulder.

"And here I am now, being the partner of an intergalactic bounty hunter from the future... Since our feelings have bonded together, to share each other's pain is my destiny. And I would look forward to die... As a means of protecting others."

"It's too early for you to make a deathwish, Mitsuzane. Even if that's is your own way to atone for your sins." Samus sighed in return.

"I guess you have a point." Mitsuzane replied.

Moments later, someone enters the Command Center. Which happens to be one of the former members of the Special Investigation Unit. Revealing himself to be Kyu Saijo.

"You must be Samus Aran, right?" Kyu asked.

"Don't even think about asking if Shinnosuke has told you about me." the Hunter deadpanned. "Say, you kinda remind me of a certain scientist whose friend is a FOXHOUND operative."

"Ehhh?! Are you a fan of Metal Gear?!" Kyu exclaimed, assuming the fact that Samus has met Solid Snake.

"Shenanigans aside..." Samus sighed, as she starts cutting through the chase. "It seems Professor Sawagami sent you here."

"Yep. Since every remnants of the Special Unit have been promoted to higher ranks, I need to get my hands full. So, Rinna-san sent me as your navigator!"

Seriously, I can do better than that. The Adam computer snickered.

"He has a point." Samus seems to take her computer's sentiments seriously. "Regardless, well, having a lot of help is sure worth a try."

Samus continued, "So, this means, you'll be keeping your hands full around the Command Center?"

"Yessiree!" Kyu replied.

"So, are you going to live down here?" Samus asked, referring to the fact that Kyu decides to remain dormant on the Command Center.

"You can say that. As the apartment also belongs to both of you and the Tomari couple but separate rooms. I can ring you guys from down here." the otaku said.

It seems the people of the present day like to keep their hands busy to help others. The Hunter thought to herself.


-Peak Human Conditioning-

(A/N #2: Samus's outfit during the training session is her ending outfit from Super Metroid)

A week later...

Inside the Command Center's Training Room, Mitsuzane underwent intense training to improve himself, willing to be put under pressure, under Samus's tutelage.

In the VR Training Area, he tested the obstacle course. It looks more than just suitable for parkour. Mitsuzane does several attempts to get through the course, only to fall. But, the young Kureshima refuses to hold back, stall, or quit, going in further heights to scale onto the obstacles arduously even if he has to stumble over and over again.

Samus is intrigued by Mitsuzane's resilience. He begins to take such situations like this too seriously. I never seen him trying to absorb this kind of pressure with sheer amount of will. Perhaps there are few people who experience this kind of discipline in times like this.

Meanwhile in the Physical Assessment Area, this is where Samus tests Mitsuzane's strength, and they sparred. Apart from exchanging punches and kicks, Mitsuzane's strikes were effortlessly parried by the bounty hunter herself, who in turn began to dish out kicks of her own. Because of Samus's insanely super-athletic skills, Mitsuzane had little to work with. But, only he can do is withstand the punishment he can take, while letting Samus give just as much. And each time he falls on the floor, he keeps standing up.

As the sparring continues, Mitsuzane got it clear but to block everything Samus can throw at him; at the exact moment when she throws kicks at him, he starts dodging them, and blocking every punch she threw at. While she gains the upper hand at this moment, Mitsuzane still keeps standing out of sheer amount of will. Going as far as to parry and block her attacks.

Almost no human being or a Kamen Rider who can try to tangle with Samus without her Power Suit can't survive a fight with her... Mitsuzane appears to be an exception. All while precariously teetering while standing sturdily on his two feet.

After their training session ends, Samus commended the young Kureshima's tenacity.

"I never seen you are able to still stand with sheer amount of will." the Hunter said, while throwing a freshly cold bottle of water to him, to which Mitsuzane caught.

"This is what I learned from the last time we fought the resurrected Kumon Kaito." Mitsuzane said, recalling their last encounter with the revived Kaito Kumon. Mitsuzane also takes note of Kaito's sympathy to those weaker than him, and his distaste to people who use their strength to oppress others. "But, every punishment I take is nothing in comparison. Even if I deserved all of it."

Samus joked, "And for a second there, I thought you were too entranced by my lovely figure...?"

"Even the most serious men are focused on their combat skills without falling for a woman's good looks. Now that's what being a fighter is all about." Adam overlooked at the progress of both Mitsuzane and Samus.

"Ain't that the truth." Mitsuzane agrees to the computer's sentiment. "Back in my time with Team Gaim, I'm the logical thinker of the group, as a Kureshima, superior intellect was innate in our heritage. But now, I'd rather rely on my own heart and instincts, as there is more to something than relying than my own logic and intelligence."

Adam seems to be pleased with Mitsuzane's determination. "It seems the effects of your past has given you such indomitable will."

Moments later, Mitsuzane poured the water over his head after gulping, most likely to drench himself even more.

"Speaking of which, what have you learned as you accompanied Samus in her missions?" the computer asked.

Mitsuzane smiles at the computer, and to Samus herself, "Since then, what I learned from Samus is... 'We are all bound by our experiences. They are the limits of our consciousness.' And with that being said, everything I have experienced in the past and present; will be the reminder that I will keep going at my heart's content. I will no longer run away from whatever that instills fear to me."

"Good." said the bounty hunter.

Meanwhile, Adam interrupted the two. "By the way, Lady... Did you mentioned earlier that there are three meteorites that have encircled around the Sacred Tree in Zawame?"

"Yeah. It has something to do with Rundas, Ghor, and Gandrayda - three of my fellow bounty hunters during the Phazon crisis." Samus shook her head.

Adam however, despite being an AI, seemingly knows the three deceased bounty hunters. "Say that again, Lady? Gandrayda... Ghor... And Rundas... I have seen their names within the Federation's classified files. Well, that explains everything. The three meteorites in Zawame may have something to do with the spirits of those three hunters."

"It seems the Federation has never told you about them, especially to your human template." Samus sighed.

"No matter. It seems you are going to investigate the meteorites, I presume?" the computer stated. "I have a feeling that Kazuraba Kouta will be waiting for you there."

"I guess Mitsuzane already knows that." Samus told Adam that Mai has already told Mitsuzane the situation. "Maybe those meteorites have some Chozo manuscripts like the one's we've seen after Chase joined us, and forced us to fight Shinnosuke's adversaries like the Heart Roidmude."

"Hmm... It seems the Chozo are onto giving you a lot of riddles to fulfill such prophecy involving your role as an intergalactic bounty hunter; and your role to the Kamen Riders."

"Right. I think we need a lot of help to get the job done." Samus suggested. "I guess Go and Takatora will be on our side as usual. But, we need to mix both logic, instinct, and a lot of composure. Adam, perhaps we need someone who can make us shift into Top Gear, and another with a hard-boiled composure.", all while making a decision to bring Shinnosuke and Shotaro in this next mission.

"Mission granted." Adam notified. "I will notify officer Tomari and Mr. Hidari first thing in the morning. Once you rendezvous with them, you and your party will proceed to the Sacred Tree; where you will link up with Kazuraba Kouta. It seems Kazuraba himself will be the once to provide you further instructions once you meet up with him."

"Noted, and no objections." Samus concluded, before the AI could say 'Any objections, Lady?'.

"I never expect you've say that." the Adam computer chuckled. "Okay. Mission clearance will be at E.T.A., 24 hours. You still have a whole day to prepare and check everything under the said allocated time. I will keep in touch with Takatora and Mr. Shijima for this mission. That's the end of the briefing. Good luck you two."

Both Samus and Mitsuzane nodded their heads to one another as they take their next mission. And with that being said, it gave her enough time to run diagnostics on her Power Suit and her body. But still, her Rider Suit System are still intact, and haven't used any of them for the past months ever since gaining the Varia and Gravity Suit upgrades. Samus has already mastered most of the Rider Suits with a little to no effort, despite the suits are hard to maintain for long periods of time.

Since her Fusion Suit now acts as the undersuit for her Rider Suit System, it causes the Fusion Suit's colors to desaturate its colors from blue over yellow to become entirely black, giving way for the pieces of armor of every Rider Suit to form into the Fusion Suit, resulting in Samus taking the form of the Kamen Rider's form associated into the said suit upgrade. So far, her current Rider Suits are the Shogun Suit (coming from Kamen Rider Gaim's Orange Arms), the Extreme Suit (derived from Kamen Rider W's CycloneJokerXtreme formation), the Racer Suit (through Drive Type Tridoron), the Phoenix Suit (OOO's Tajadol Combo), Dragon Suit (Wizard's All Dragon Style), Insect Suit (Kabuto's Rider Form), and the Peach Suit (Den-O's Sword Form).

However, Samus can't activate the Peach Suit since Momotaros is not around, as the Imagin alone can activate the said Rider Suit. Regardless, she can still use the other Rider Suit upgrades.

Meanwhile, recharging her missiles and power bombs will take half of the day to finish. So far, Samus has 15 Energy Tanks in her suit for her to sustain damage for long periods of time. Her weapon attachments built by Rinna are kept safe. The long barrel attachment for her Arm Cannon that turns it into a sniper weapon, along with the sword attachment for close combat.

While in the process of diagnostics, Samus take this time to reflect on her past; aside from the three bounty hunters during the Phazon crisis, but her new future in the present day Earth.


-Samus: Reflections of the Future-

The ghosts of my past began to acquaint me lately. Not only Ridley was destroyed thanks to the help of the Kamen Riders, but now I can feel the presence of the souls of the three hunters who became Dark Samus's pawns, whom I saved, but at the cost of their lives. The last time I reminisced about them was I looked around the sunset of Elysia. It seems Ghor, Gandrayda, and Rundas can't rest easy if I can say to them a proper goodbye as I am here in the present day; a new life where I have new allies, and at the same time fight new enemies.

I escaped through time not only that I'm on the run against the Federation; it will be only a matter of time that the Federation would be extinct soon enough, if it weren't for them propagating several Metroids for their sinister ends.

Focusing my quest to find the other Kamen Riders, I think I am used to the life I live in this world... Protecting this world is a part of my responsibility, like the other Riders do. Needless to say, Takatora, Mitsuzane, and Go became so close to my heart as if they remind me of those three hunters back at that time...

And as for the blood of the Baby in my veins... I knew the Baby is listening at my heart's content. I feel I became one with it. The very essence of that Metroid feels like it matured inside me, as I have indeed have matured in my career as a bounty hunter. I'm no longer the Hatchling that the Chozo has prophesied now, but I have fully evolved like a matured bird.

As for Mitsuzane, he has been rough on himself lately. It's pretty clear that it is the effect of his dark and tragic past. But, he has been striving hard to rectify over his mistakes as much as Takatora does. Aside from that, I feel peaceful with him around. Indeed he has grown up as a man, as what Takatora envisioned.

Because Mitsuzane has followed me around, it feels so safe to treasure his heart. Now that he has the willingness to share my pain, it's safe to assume not only fighting side by side... But, I began to feel his love for me. Sometimes, I allow myself to crave onto my desires hidden in me. Since then, I love him. And yes, in this world, fate has indeed drifted around the winds.


-Romantic Night-

(A/N #3: This scene can be skipped.)

Later that night...

Back in their room, Mitsuzane receives a message from Go.

Go's text message say: "hey, mitsuzane-kun. the computer has told us about three meteorites where the yggdrasil tower once stood. we'll meet you guys tomorrow in the beat riders stage. -Go."

Shijima-senpai... Mitsuzane said to himself. I guess nii-san is coming too.

Samus enters into the room, as Mitsuzane lies truantly on the bed.

"Did your brother called?" she asked, while sitting on the right side of the bed.

Mitsuzane answered, "No, it's Shijima-senpai."

Samus snickered when she anticipates Go's message. "That Go is always a handful. He doesn't seem to get over about making a fool out of himself."

Mitsuzane couldn't help but laugh at his love interest's deadpan snark.

"I couldn't help comparing him to Gandrayda so badly..." the hunter said all while favorably comparing Go to Gandrayda in terms of their personality. "You see, Gandrayda, of all the bounty hunters I've met is very witty and provocative. I wonder why what will Gandrayda's expression look like if Go should try to start going toe-to-toe with her?"

"It's anyone's guess." Mitsuzane said.

"True." the huntress replied. "And as for you, Mitsuzane. Since we should start looking into Gandrayda's meteorite, do not let yourself be seduced by her. She knows how to outwit her foes with a little to no effort."

"Samus, since when was the last time you fought this Gandrayda?" the young Kureshima demanded.

"In the Space Pirate's homeworld." Samus answered. "She is the last one to be corrupted by Phazon by Dark Samus. Like the fates of Rundas and Ghor, Gandrayda dies laughing, however."

"It seems whenever you have allies, they made even the most painful sacrifice to keep you alive." Mitsuzane concluded.

"That's right... Since coming here, I began to make sure we are watching each other's backs, the same to your brother and Go." Samus nodded her head.

"Hey, Mitsuzane..." the hunter continued.

"What's that?" he asked.

"Back at the first time we make out... We're you feeling embarrassed?" Samus asked quizzically.

Although Mitsuzane is less than puzzled, he wasn't. But, to him, he doesn't need to answer it. That event obviously answers the whole thing.

"Sometimes, you don't need to ask about it." Mitsuzane answered honestly. "It's already the result of our actions."

"I see." she answered simply, all while looking at the young Kureshima's eyes. Having heard of his answer, it indicates how mature their relationship would be. And Samus obviously understands the notion of love, starting her time with Adam Malkovich - whom she saw as her father figure at that time. But, with Malkovich's consciousness being her current navigator... Samus has learned to overcome her sadness involving his death. As usual, Samus has become even more stronger each time moving forward after seeing anyone close to her dying right before her eyes..

"What about you, do you have a love that's unrequited?" the hunter asked smugly at Mitsuzane.

"Mai-san." he answered by mentioning Mai's name. "From all trouble that I caused... It seems she doesn't still to acknowledge my feelings. Nevertheless, I have to move on and start over."

Samus listened when Mitsuzane confided about his feelings to Mai. "That's good. You see, to express your feelings is to be who you are and yourself alone. Not being someone you are not.", all while touching her index finger to the center of his chest.

"And here I am now... I have many mistakes to rectify and fighting alongside those people who needed the strength to face their fears. I know I have a long way to go." Mitsuzane blinked.

Samus nodded, "Indeed. Even if you still hate yourself for everything you've done in the past, you can still work out something different. But, Mitsuzane... Choosing death to make up for the atrocities you've committed is an absurd choice. You have to think about the people who loved and care for you first, despite you succeeded your friend's place of being a hero. I know that we are now sharing each other's pain-"

"Like what I said before... I have no regrets." Mitsuzane replied. "It doesn't matter if how dangerous this would be. I am willing to bear that burden, no matter how hard it can be. This is my own way to protect others, and I won't allow anything that would happen the same thing in the past. I hope you felt the same way too, because you've told me that everyone you've cared the most die right before your very eyes. That is my responsibility! If that's the case, I'll die right by your side!"

"Mitsuzane..." Samus begins to show her genuinity to him. Takatora was right all along, he has become matured as a person.

The young Kureshima leaned his head onto the bounty hunter's shoulder. "I never imagined how we made it this far... We fought countless of enemies, met people from the past and present. Samus, it's true that your journey in this world is a new beginning."

"True." she said. "I finally found a new place to call home where I can keep going forward under my heart's content."

Moments later, after concluding their conversation about their respective feelings. The two began to kiss.

"Should we make out again?" she asked. To which Mitsuzane responds by nodding his head in approval, Samus begins romancing the young Kureshima.

Within moments, as they continued kissing passionately, she started to remove her red band on her ponytail, thus elevating her hair down through her hips.

I can't even wait any longer that to satisfy my inner most desires once more, and neither does Mitsuzane. The huntress thought to herself. Needless to say, his love for me will even transcend even space and time. This is what love feels like in the present. He admitted to me that there was someone he has feelings with, but never loved him back because of the trouble had made.

Meanwhile, Samus begins tackling Mitsuzane into pinning him down to the mattress, as soon she towers in front of him. She began disrobing her sports bra right in front of him. I never imagined how well-endowed she is. Mitsuzane said to himself, needless to say; he doesn't hold back, having the urge to share another moment of intimacy with Samus; Mitsuzane was thankful enough that the huntress was the one of the two people who can understand his pain.

After a few minutes, their clothes began scattering around the floor. She pressed Mitsuzane's face against her breasts as Samus herself lying against the pillow.

I can feel his lips touching the very sensitive parts of my breasts. It hurts so much, but... He's really doing it like a child. It feels so deep... Samus said to herself all while a soft moan escape her throat. Afterwards, both lovers lock eyes once more and once again exchanged kisses as everything fades to black in their passionate moment...

The next morning...

Samus wakes up first, noticing it's already 5:30 A.M.

Then, Mitsuzane, who happens to be lying under the hunter's chest, immediately follows after.

"Glad that you're awake." Samus said. "Come on, we have our hands full this time."

"Right." Mitsuzane nodded his head. "Kouta-san and Mai-san are waiting for us."


-Rendezvous-

(soundtrack: "Rider Kusen", OST # 19 from Kamen Rider Gaim)

And so, the mission clearance is accepted by Adam. Samus and Mitsuzane are dropped into Zawame via her own Gunship. The duo dropped by in the doorstep of Team Gaim's garage.

Later, Samus and Mitsuzane went into the Beat Rider's dancing stage, as they watch the Beat Riders dancing from a distance. Needless to say, Zack, Chucky, Rat, and Rica weren't able to notice their long time friend form afar.

"Heeeyyyy!", Samus's attention turns to a voice coming from Go.

Mitsuzane notices them. "Nii-san! Shijima-senpai!" Once Takatora and Go regroups with Samus and Mitsuzane, and they set out for the Sacred Tree of Zawame where they are to meet Kouta and Mai. But, since Shinnosuke and Shotaro are also vital to this mission, it seems they would rather arrive into the guardian tree late. Thus, leaving the main party to go ahead.

Once the party made it into the holy tree, the Man and Woman of the Beginning greeted them.

"It has been a long while, Micchy, Takatora, and Samus." Kouta said.

Takatora started to clarify of what's going on. "Kazuraba... Why did you bring all of us here?"

"It's a long story, Takatora. These meteorites have something to do with the ghosts of Samus Aran's past." Kouta explained. "Apparently, they possess something in common in terms of your comradeship with Samus. This also applies to you, Micchy."

"Wait... Sammy-chan? Don't tell me it has something to do like the last time you and Shin-niisan fought Heart?" Go can't anticipate to take a hint.

"Looks like it. But this time, as what Kazuraba Kouta said..." Samus sternly rolled her eyes. "It's the ghosts of my past... The ghosts of my old world."

Moments later, Samus activates her Power Suit in Varia form. The party, along with Kouta and Mai proceeded to the western terminus of the holy tree where the first meteorite is nestled.

"Kouta, there is an odd looking writing on the door." Mai said.

"Not to worry, Mai-san. I think Samus can help us with that. According to her those writings came from the very first known people who adopted her, the Chozo." Mitsuzane explained.

Samus proceeds to scan the content of the Chozo Manuscript on the meteorite:

Chozo script translated... The Scan Visor stated...

The Spotlight of Redemption and Hope for the Future

"In times of despair and suffering. We come to observe on such individual who fights for those who believe what's right. Ideals to protect humanity's future is what we also hoped in our civilization. As we all owe it to all to our Hatchling, who has finally evolved into a mighty and fearsome warrior with wings. Of all the 17 warriors she has met in the present, we also come to hear that someone will say "This is our stage, now!", that is that stage and spotlight is not only what his heart desires, but a way to make a change for the better. To the Hatchling: you must bring the sword-wielding warrior in oranges, and along with your three closest companions; and your test will be one of the ghosts of your past."

"It seems the Chozo have come to acknowledge you, Kazuraba Kouta." Samus concluded. With that being said, the giant rock suddenly started producing a giant hole, creating an entrance.

The party, Mai and Kouta went inside the meteorite's interior. To Samus, it really seemed to be familiar.

"It's like the Proving Grounds in the Space Pirate's homeworld." with that being said, Samus recognizes the entire features of the meteorite.

Suddenly, a Riotrooper ambushes the party. Almost attacking Mai. Luckily, Kouta immediately transforms into Armored Rider Gaim in Orange Arms.

*Orange Arms! Hanamichi on Stage!*

Kouta subdues the attacker. Moments later, the Riotrooper suddenly transformed into an extraterrestrial being...


-Enter Gandrayda-

(soundtrack: "Gandrayda Boss Battle Theme", OST from Metroid Prime 3: Corruption)

It's also a woman! The party are dumbfounded at the sight of an alien woman, who happens to be all out nubile and hair standing up and spiky.

"Who is that?" Takatora demanded.

Samus introduces the party to Gandrayda. "That's Gandrayda. She is a master of shape-shifting. She is also a bounty hunter like me, but she treats her profession as more than a hobby."

"Thanks for bringing that up for me, Sammy." Gandrayda said, who managed to stand up after Kouta counterattacked her. "And by the way... Thanks for saving us back during the Phazon skirmish. But, seeing you leaving your world behind can't make us rest easy... It seems you have made new friends here too, I see."

"Whooooaaahhhhhh! Baby!" Go howled. "She's haaawwwwttt!"

Gandrayda smirked at Go, all while changing into the forms of the Claydoll Dopant, Mezool, Medusa, Redyue, and the Medic Roidmude in front of the party. "Why thank you, human." Then she looked at the Kureshima brothers, Mai, and Kouta. "By the way, Sammy. Who are these friends of yours?"

"Takatora and Mitsuzane Kureshima. They are the brothers who took me in. Then, there's Go Shijima, don't mind him. He's just a motormouth. These guys are actually Kamen Riders."

"Ahahahaha! Kamen Riders?" Gandrayda laughed condescendingly. "I thought they were just but a bunch of bedtime stories. But considering the one who managed to foiled my sneak attack, looks like I've seen one now." Afterwards, Gandrayda has her eyes on Mitsuzane. "Hey, Sammy... Wanna bet?"

"What's that, Gandrayda?"

"After all, you managed to save me, Rundas, and Ghor from the deathly grip of Phazon at the cost of our lives. I guess I should be returning the favor right now. After all since I had my eyes on you the first time we met. How about if you and your boys lost against me, this boy will be mine forever!" Gandrayda stated, that if Samus and the party loses, she takes Mitsuzane away from her. "This boy really turns me on!"

Takatora, however, objects to this. "How dare you put a price on my little brother! Unacceptable!"

"Takatora-occhan is right! Sammy-chan loves Mitsuzane-kun, nothing more and nothing less!" Go agrees to Takatora's sentiment. "Well, if it's a fight you want, we'll give you one! Occhan, Mitsuzane-kun! Let's go!"

"Wow, really?" Gandrayda said with a seductive tone. "If that's the case. I will enjoy flirting both of you and your lover, Sammy!"

"Takatora, Micchy! Henshin now!" Kouta shouted.

As both Kureshima brothers equipped their Sengoku Drivers, and Go with the Mach Driver Honoh...

*MELON!*
*BUDOU!*
*SIGNAL BIKE!*

...with a chant of "Let's..." from Go, both Kureshima brothers altogether shout "...Henshin!"

*MELON ARMS! TENKA GOMEN!
*BUDOU ARMS! RYUHOU! HA! HA! HA!*

*RIDER! MACH!*

Thus, transforming the other three into Armored Riders Zangetsu and Ryugen, and Kamen Rider Mach respectively. With the Zenrin Shooter flying out of nowhere as it comes into Mach's right hand.

"Wow, I'm truly amazed by such transformations." Gandrayda said with a smirk.

"Oh yeah. Before I forget. I'm gonna have my V-Cinema by November!" Go enthusiastically said. "I'm so happy... I'm gonna celebrate this moment by fighting some naked alien space lady!"

Samus informs the party of Gandrayda's abilities. "Guys, be warned. Apart from her shapeshifting abilities, Gandrayda is also extremely fast-"

But, Go decides to finish this as early as possible. "In that case..." Go said as he immediately charges into combat.

"Zutto MAHHA!" The Mach Driver exclaimed as Go presses the belt's Boost Ignition thrice.

"Searching... Eliminating..." Go declared all while he and Gandrayda clashed in unprecedented speeds. "Both are done at mach speed!"

"My, oh my... Talkative aren't we, hotshot?" Gandrayda smirked in the middle of the speed battle.

"Kamen Rider... Mach!" Go finishes his roll call as he and Gandrayda continued exchanging blows at insanely fast speeds.


To be continued...


Author's Note #4:

Go's recent fourth-wall break is a reference to the recently announced V-Cinema after the Chaser Saga. Kamen Rider Drive Saga: Kamen Rider Mach and Kamen Rider Heart.

The Chozo manuscript in Gandrayda's meteorite may refer to Kouta and his role of Kamen Rider Gaim.
