Pikatwig: Well, another chapter is rolling around.

KKD: And it makes this part of the story a two-parter… at least I'm assuming that.

Pikatwig: Anyway, with the Mobius Christmas rolling around, Sonic and crew have got only a few days before they can unwrap gifts from Santa! I can't wait to see what they'll do, and this chapter will be kinda big, it'll be a bit in honor of the 15th/5th Heisei Era/Neo-Heisei Era of Kamen Rider.

KKD: I see. I'm looking forward to this chapter. Shall I roll Disclaimers?

Pikatwig: Yep.

KKD: As usual, Pika owns Tune, Strumm, Ian, Star, Tux, and Pyrabot, I own Alpha & Akiza, while the rest belong to SEGA, Archie, Capcom, and their respective owners.

Pikatwig: Cue Simple & Clean. And, something a little special.


Celebrating 15 successful seasons of Heisei Era Riders/5 successful seasons of Neo-Heisei Era Rider seasons. May they ride on forever.


When you walk away *Start from the moment when Sonic walked back into the portal back to Mobius from Arc 1*

You don't hear me say please *Roll waves goodbye to him*

Oh baby, don't go *A tear falls from Roll's eye.*

Simple and clean is the way that you're making me feel tonight *Fast forward to March on Megaman's World which is November on Sonic's World.*

It's hard to let it go *Show Roll on a beach looking at the stars, waiting for the day she'll see Sonic again.*

The daily things *Change locations to Mobius, in the Green Hill Zone, where Sonic is watching the stars from the top of a palm tree.*

like this and that and what is what *Night then turns into day.*

that keep us all busy *Show Sonic running around the Green Hill Village, waving to Cream, Sonia and Manic.*

Are confusing me *Sonic continues to run and then arrives in the Star Light Zone, and looks up to the sky, thinking of the day when he and Roll became a couple.*

That's when you came to me and said, *Sonic then remembers the very day.*

Wish I could prove I love you *He then stands up and zooms off of South Island on a trip.*

But does that mean I have to walk on water? *Sonic then boosts across the water.*

When we are older you'll understand *Sonic then sees Shadow, Rouge, Omega, Tikal, Knuckles, Silver and Amy.*

It's enough when I say so *Sonic skids to a stop in front of Tails' lab.*

And maybe some things are that simple *Scene then shifts to Megaman's World.*

When you walk away *Rock walks into Light Labs and sees Rush and Beat.*

You don't hear me say please *He looks around to see Sonic and crew, but then they fade, as they were simply figments of his imagination.*

Oh baby, don't go *Rock sighed and looked outside, hoping to one day see Sonic again.*

Simple and clean is the way that you're making me feel tonight *Roll joined him in the stargazing.*

It's hard to let it go *A further distance from them, Protoman watched them.*

Hold me *Roll walks over and sees Sonic again, both smiling.*

Whatever lies beyond this morning *However when the sun rises, he fades out, Roll gasps, but then realizes it's a dream.*

Is a little later on *Rock turns into Megaman, and then hops onto the Rush Jet.*

Regardless of warnings the future doesn't scare me at all *Sonic, back over in his world, flies around on his Extreme Gear.*

Nothing's like before *But in a far away location on Sonic's World, two flying machines float into some sort of base.*

When you walk away *They turn out to be Eggman and Wily, ready for something big.*

You don't hear me say please *Change location back to Megaman's World, where it's late at night, with Roll simply in a night goan, and Rock sitting by her side, with a smile.*

Oh baby, don't go *Tune is also there, alongside Peach and Waltz.*

Simple and clean is the way that you're making me feel tonight *After a while, Rock loads in a video game and begins to play it, while Roll simply giggles at his actions.*

It's hard to let it go *Change back on over to Sonic's world where Sonic, Manic and Sonia are in a similar position.*

Hold me *Sonic then smiles and thinks about his best friend and girlfriend from another world.*

Whatever lies beyond this morning *Megaman also thinks about his best friend from another world.*

Is a little later on *Sonic and Megaman then both turn Super, and fly around, when the forms sub-side they're joined by Tails, Rush, Beat, Protoman, Tune, Roll, Sonia, Manic, Amy, Shadow, Knuckles, Tikal, Rouge, Omega and the Chaotix.*

Regardless of warnings the future doesn't scare me at all *Sonic and Megaman run at full speed.*

Nothing's like before *The two then Double Spin Dash into the camera.*

Sonic & Megaman: Adventures!


"December 18th, well… it should be a neat day, I suppose," Rock said.

"Agreed," Sonic nodded before he gave a small sigh.

"What's wrong buddy?" Rock inquired.

"Today's… Ian's birthday…" Sonic replied.

"What? Ian's birthday is today?!" Rock gawked.

"Yep," Sonic replied.

"Why didn't you tell me earlier?"

"You never asked," Sonic answered, showing him a small box, with a label reading "Kamen Rider". "Well, Kamen Rider is a TV show here, and is also real, but people believe that the Riders in real life are simply fictional characters, oh and Rock, don't worry, I'll let you sign on my gift."

"Oh, okay," Rock nodded.

They then both gave a small smile, seeing kids playing in the snow, two kids were playing with some toy drivers. "Henshin!" they both announced, showing off a couple of toy electronic locks, each with the design of a fruit, one being an orange, the other a banana.

=ORANGE/BANANA!=

As the kids goofed around with some posing, they inserted the locks into the spots on their toy drivers.

=LOCK ON!=

Then, they moved the knives seen on the buckles, making it look like they sliced the fruit on the locks, activating more sounds.

=SEIYA/COME ON!=

=ORANGE/BANANA ARMS!=

=HANAMICHI ON STAGE/KNIGHT OF SPEAR!=

"Kids," Sonic said with a smile.

"What do you think Ian and Sonia's kids would be like?" Rock teased.

He was about to answer before he suddenly gripped his head in pain, as if getting a migraine. Rock was gonna ask what was wrong before he too reacting in a similar manner, but it subsided and the two were okay. "So… I guess we're on our way to Ian's house," Sonic figured

"I guess so," Rock agreed as they started walking off.

Later, at Ian's place, they place their gift in position while looking at the party and noticed it was rather small, the guests besides Rock and Sonic themselves consisting of Roll, Sonia, Manic, Alpha, Akiza, Tails, Cream, Tune, Star, and Tux.

"Hey guys, thanks for showing," Ian said with a smile, before looking to his side, and his glance lands on a small picture, showing him and Star with a young hedgehog in white.

"Who's that?" Rock asks.

"...my younger half-sister Xion," Ian answered.


"Huh… you never told me that you had another half-sibling," Sonic noted.

"... it's a sad story… that I can't even remember everything about."

"Oh… sorry," Sonic sighed.

"Well… we had the same dad, but a different mom, and one day… she died of a fatal diseases, and my dad… went a little nutso," Ian began.

"Yowch," Rock winced.

"He did something to himself to gain magic, and was going to cause massive genocide, killing thousands of people in something called-"

"The Sabbath," both Rock and Roll said in unison.

"How'd you know?" Ian asked.

"Kamen Rider is a TV show, so… yea, um, continue," Rock said.

"I was the only one who survived," Ian continued.

"Wait, so, your own dad was willing to kill you! WHY?!" Sonic asked.

"For mana, a type of magical energy inside of a person, and it can only be released under certain circumstances, I was almost dragged into despair, but I hung onto hope… and I lived," Ian continued.

"Why'd he need this mana stuff anyway?" Manic asked.

"...He wanted to bring back my half-sister… but never seemed to care about my life to spare it, and was set to… well you know," Ian answered. "Well, after that solar eclipse, I was almost attacked, and my abilities were disabled for some reason, when my dad came to help me, using a form called the 'White Wizard'... he gave me Xion and my Driver with some of the rings."

"...So… if he cared for Xion more… then why would he leave her in your care?" Sonic asked.

"He didn't want to supply the mana to keep her alive, she required mana infusions to stay alive, but, only I could do that, anyway, after a while, I never saw him, and then at some point, Sonia gained her own Rider powers, Magikal. So-"

"Wait, time out! ...Sonia was a Rider TOO?!" Rock gawked.

"And if I can think of this right… she wasn't a Mage?" Roll asked.


Sonia simply giggled at that. "I've retired from using my powers, but I'll use them if I need to," Sonia replied.

"Hey, what about me?!" Tails snapped.

"Ah yes, how could I forget the mana eating Beast?" Ian said.

"How did that work out exactly?" Sonic wondered.

Tails gave a small sigh, and pulled something out of a small white cloth. He then moved the cloth away revealing a black belt buckle with a bulky portion that was silver-gray and designed after some kind of cage. The thing about this was that it was damaged and scarred, black markings showing it seemed beyond repair.

"WOW!" both Rock and Roll said amazed.

"The BeastDriver!" Rock gawked seeing it.

"But it's so damaged I can't use it anymore," Tails sighed.

"But hey, anyway, Tails was a great help, but for him… it got a little personal when my dad kidnapped Cream," Ian said.

"I can imagine that," Sonic nodded.

"Just because she survived falling into despair, that doesn't mean she's has to be a Rider! YEESH!" Tails exclaimed.

"What's that supposed to mean?" Rock asked.

"She was a target of a Phantom once, and I was about to try and destroy her inner Phantom after she survived falling into despair, but then, the White Wizard attacked me, even though he said he had a plan which needed four wizards… oh, and he didn't count me as one 'cause of him calling me an archetype Wizard or whatever," Tails answered.

"Well, someone else was kidnapped, my own brother… anyway, he said he needed four Wizards to restore Xion. He chained the four of us around the city, saying it was the sacrifice, and Tails was the only one who could stop him," Ian answered.

Tails then turned and said with a smirk "I had to battle the jerk, and he beat me, again, and I was left with one choice to save the world,"

"And that was?" Sonic, Manic, Tune and Tux asked.

"I stole his weapon, and I struck the BeastDriver, freeing the Phantom in it, BeastChimera. He managed to devour all of the mana," Tails answered.

"And then what?" Manic asked as Tails flashbacked.


Tails simply was on the ground, as he saw the sun return, and BeastChimera above him. "Well… if you're gonna eat me, go right on ahead."

However, the Phantom only chuckled a little. "You never stop amusing me, well, a deal's a deal, and so, you are now free, but, here."

"Eh?" Tails asked as a small ring was given to him, it was another Beast Wizard Ring, depicting one of Chimera's paws shaking a hand. "Use that if you ever need me, and I'll come running. So… you are now freed, Miles "Tails" Prower, until otherwise, farewell,"


"Haven't had a need for it, and I haven't seen him since," Tails concluded as Akiza walked over to Star.

"Hold up one moment, Star, you're a Rider too?!" Akiza asked.

"Yea… that one's tough to explain," Star admitted.

"Anyway, after that, the White Wizard was bent on getting rid of Tails, and me, he didn't care if he wouldn't have enough mana, he wanted me gone!" Ian continued.

"Ouch… that's just cold," Rock noted.

"So, whatever happened to him and your sister?" Akiza asked.


Wizard and White Wizard were staring each other down, panting from exhaustion, and then the White Wizard pulled out his Kick Strike Ring, while Wizard did the same. They slipped the rings on their fingers before having set their Drivers into position.

=YES! KICK STRIKE!=

=CHOU NE! KICK STRIKE!=

=UNDERSTAND?=

The White Wizard growled and charged forward.

=SAIKO~!=

The Driver also did a sound effect, due to Ian being in Infinity, he spun once, and then ran forward, as they charged forward, energy glowing, they jumped up.

"SEIYA!" Wizard yelled as their Rider Kicks collided, causing a huge amount of mana to explode out, and the residual energy caused both Ian and Fueki to revert to normal. Ian struggled to get back up to get over to Star and Xion, when Fueki simply stomped on his back and walked over to the two kids. "I am taking Xion back, and bringing her back to life! Don't worry… you and your little freak brother there, can rejoin each-other in death!" Fueki said, as Star looked on in horror, and Ian tried to get back up to get to his two young siblings when all of a sudden…

SLASH!

Fueki was struck down, by Gremlin. Both Ian and Xion gasped as Fueki fell down.

"Maybe you should've remembered to finish me off, instead of going after your son baka!" Gremlin smirked, brandishing the Hamel Cane, which was used to attack Fueki. The man then faded into dust, as Gremlin eyed Star and Xion. "And now, for the Philosopher's Stone."

The Phantom walked over, knocking Star aside before grabbing Xion, and then slashing her, and grabbing the Philosopher's Stone, after Gremlin left, Ian and Star rushed over to Xion, as she too faded away...


"They're both dead?" Akiza gawked in sadness.

"Afraid so," Ian sighed.

"So… that time you were gone while Sonic and the others were as well, you were trying to hide the Hope Ring, right?" Sonia checked.

"Yea," Ian nodded. "I eventually did, but not alone…"

"Well, I don't want you to stay a stick in the mud, so let's celebrate your birthday already!" Sonia said.

"Oh yea, right," Ian nodded, smiling now with his mind off of what happened in the past… for the moment.

And so, the celebrations went on, with everyone enjoying themselves, even Sonic. After a while came the gifts.

"Here Ian, this is from us," Alpha replied, handing his and Akiza's gift to the young hedgefox. He gave a small smile and opened it.

It ended up being a Wii U.

"Wow! How'd you get this?!" Ian gawked.

"Work as a mall Santa, you get big money," Alpha informed.

"That explains why you were in that role over there then," Ian noticed.

The two stepped away, next up was Tune.

"Hope you like this Ian," Tune smiled.

Ian opens the gift and sees it's a plate of Kamen Rider Wizard cookies. "I made them myself" Tune said.

"Sweet… literally," Ian smiled.

Tune gave a light giggle as she walked away, next was Manic.

"I hope you didn't have to steal to get this one," Ian joked.

"No!" he replied. "Don't make me regret getting you anything at all."

"Relax, I'm just kidding," Ian chuckled.

Ian unwrapped the gift and saw it was simply a robe.

"A robe?" Ian asked, a little confused.

"It was on sale," Manic answered.

"Oh, cool," Ian shrugged as Manic sighed and walked off. Next person up was Tux. "Happy birthday buddy," he said, as Ian unwrapped the gift and saw it was a new scarf.

"Now this is cool. Thanks Tux," Ian replied.

Tux gave a smile as next was Star. "Happy birthday bro," he said, handing him a clumsily wrapped gift.

"Nice attempt, bro," Ian smiled, before opening the gift to reveal a small star shaped book. "I made it, it's supposed to be a photo album."

Ian just smiled before opening the book and looking at the pictures inside it.

"Cool album, bro," Ian smiled.

Next up was Roll, whose gift was kinda big, Ian opened it to reveal some Wii U video games. "I didn't know what you'd like so I got a few different games."

"This is definitely a huge variety. Thanks Roll," Ian answered.

Next up were the two blue heroes themselves. "Here you go," Sonic said, Ian opened it and it ended up being Rider Rings for Den-O, Kiva, OOO and Gaim, and a toy WizarDriver.

"Wow!" Ian gawked, when his memories seemed to flash to something when it came to the Rider Rings. "...Wonder how those guys are doing…"

"You okay little buddy?" Sonic asked, seeing Ian almost space out.

"Yea, just lost in thought for a moment," Ian replied as Sonia walked over. "Well, here," she said with a smile.


Ian smiled back before opening his present and finding… "A winter snowglobe, thanks…" he said, he then twisted a small knob on the bottom and it played the tune to "Jingle Bells".

"You like it?" Sonia asked.

"I love it…" Ian said with a smile, as he walked over and placed it on a shelf with other ones.

"You had a huge collection already, and I thought it'd be a nice little addition," Sonia figured.

They smiled and hugged. Star gave a small smile, and then asked "When you and Ian get married, what would that make you Sonia, in terms of relatives?"

"Me? Um…" Sonia pondered, not sure how to answer.

"With me, since I'm Ian's little brother, what would that make me in connection with you?"

"Oh. That would make her your sister-in-law," Akiza answered.

"Okay," Star replied with a smile.


Later, Ian, Sonic, Rock, Elec Man, Time Man, Tails, and Star were just relaxing outside, with the temperature getting a bit warmer, when all of a sudden, something flew down.

"Eh?" Ian said confused.

"What's going on?" Star asked, when Ian saw an all too familiar looking face.

This guy was mostly red with golden beak shoulder pads, and the bird theme was pretty obvious. He had three wing-like decorations that made up his forehead-spike/horn and the tips of his "eyebrows" over his blue eyes as his mouth area was silver, divided by a red line. He also had wings of fire from his back, and burn marks pretty much everywhere on his body.

"Phoenix," Ian said annoyed and angry.

"Well well well. The ringy mahoutsukai, I've been waiting for the day where I get to see you again!" the Phantom smirked. "I think I owe you something for that long trip around the sun in such torture."

"Well, guess I have no choice but to take you down again, Star, Tails, ikuzo." Ian said.

Tails gave a small look at the Ring that Chimera gave him, and then used it.

=CHIMERARETURN, GO!=

"Oh boy," Sonic gulped before they saw something that looked like a lion with a crimson bull on its chest, two wings with an orange falcon and a dark blue dolphin, and its tail being a chameleon's head.

"Chimera?!" Ian gasped.

"Well Tails, it's good to see you, you ready?"

"HAI!"

BeastChimera then flew into the BeastDriver, and it returned to standby mode, being completely repaired.

"Hope you know what you're doing Tails," Ian sighed.

"This is only temporary, so let's move!" Tails replied, taking out his Driver On Ring, as did Ian and Star.

=DRIVER ON!=

=DRIVER ON! PLEASE=

=DRIVER ON! NOW!=

Ian, Star and Tails all put on their main henshin Rings, and then all three shouted one word: "HENSHIN!"

=FLAME! PLEASE=

=SET! OPEN!=

=CHANGE! NOW=

=HI! HI! HI HI HI!=

=L-I-O-N! LION!=

With that, Ian transformed into Wizard, but when Tails transformed, he gained a black bodysuit, kept the white gloves, but he had golden armor on his chest, a lion-head on his left shoulder, and his head resembled his ring, which looked like a gold lion's head with a silver mouthpiece and green eyes.

Star, meanwhile, had a mostly beige attire, with some red lines on the armor, his hands, chest, and shoulders donned in black, the shoulders and chest having green gems with them being spiked on the shoulders, and his helmet resembled a very roughly cut green gem with silver marks resembling a claw of sorts surrounding it. Also on his left hand was a giant claw-like weapon with green claws while the rest was a large black piece.

"So ringy, you still sour that I beat up your little girlfriend an inch to death? Well I don't care!" Phoenix growled, nearly erupting in flames again.

"Sa, showtime da!" Wizard shouted.

"Sa, lunchtime da!" Beast shouted.

"Sa…" Green Mage began at a loss for a cool catchphrase. "...Drat, why don't I have a cool catchphrase?"

The three then charged Phoenix, and began to battle him. Wizard used his WizarSwordGun as before, but Beast used a rapier-like sword as if it were a broadsword, while Green Mage just clawed at Phoenix.

"You guys are no surprise!" Phoenix shouted, charging up his wings, and making them explode with fiery energy.

"YOW!" Green Mage gawked, instinctively fanning off all the fire on him.

All of a sudden, an electric move hit Phoenix. "Eh?"

"Leave my friends alone!" Elec Man snapped, being the one who zapped Phoenix.

Time Man, Megaman and Sonic then stood by his side, ready to fight. The four untransformed warriors tried to charge and attack Phoenix, but they were blown back with just a slash of his sword.

"Pathetic!" Phoenix growled, as the four on the ground then saw something glow, it was the Rider Rings, the energy glowed brighter and brighter, and then the Rider Rings turned into the Drivers of said Riders. Time Man got the Terminal Buckle, Elec Man got the Kiva Belt, Sonic got the OOODriver, while Megaman got the Sengoku Driver. They also got new items with the belts. In Sonic's hands were three gold-rimmed medals, one being a red hawk medal, another being a yellow tiger, and the last being a green grasshopper, while also holding some sort of scanner. Megaman now held an Orange Lockseed, similar to what the kids were playing with earlier. Time Man held some sort of black pass, and Elec Man's was actually a gold and black bat with red eyes.


"Whoa!" Sonic gawked.

"This is… unexpected," Megaman admitted.

"This seems pretty cool though," Time Man added.

"Interesting," Elec Man added.

"What're you blabbering about!? SHUT UP!" Phoenix roared as the four put on the belts and each held a separate item.

The four of them then announced one word "HENSHIN!"

=ORANGE!=

=LOCK ON!=

As Rock let his belt's tune play along with Time Man's belt, Elec Man simply held out his hand as the bat bit it, and he gained stained glass window tattoos. After Sonic inserted the medals into his driver and slanting it, each person executed the move to finish the henshin. For Time Man, he swiped his pass across his buckle, Elec Man perched the bat on his buckle, Sonic scanned his medals, and Megaman sliced the lock open.

=SWORD FORM!=

=TAKA! TORA! BATTA!=

=SEIYA!=

=ORANGE ARMS!=

=TA-TO-BA! TATOBA! TA-TO-BA!=

=HANAMICHI ON STAGE!=

With an orange dropping on Megaman's head, medals flying around Sonic, Elec Man's body coating in quiksilver, and Time Man having a black and silver bodysuit appear over his body, the armors for their respective forms finalized. Time Man became Den-O sword form, which had a gold and black back, a red and silver chestplate with matching shoulder pads, and a red peach-shaped visor. Elec Man became Kiva, which had a black bodysuit, a heavily armored boot around the right foot, silver, black and red armor having the vampire theme, the theme also extending to the helmet which had a silver mouthplate and yellow eyepieces, making the helmet almost resemble a jack o' lantern. Sonic turned into OOO Tatoba, and while most of his armor was black, his head had a red hawk design with green eyes, yellow gauntlets with giant tiger claws, and green grasshopper boots, the center of his chest containing a combined symbol of those on the medals. Finally, Megaman's orange armor set into place, forming samurai/shogun armor on top his blue and gold bodysuit and the helmet resembling a samurai's kabuto helmet, making him transform into Kamen Rider Gaim.

"Wow!" Beast said amazed as the Riders charged forward and attacked Phoenix, this time dealing much more damage to the Phantom than they did untransformed.

"What do you guys say we finish him off?" OOO said.

"Ready whenever you are," Gaim smirked.

=CHOU NE, KICK STRIKE! SAIKOU~!=

=FULL CHARGE!=

=YES, KICK STRIKE! UNDERSTAND?=

=SEIYA! ORANGE SQUASH!=

=KICK STRIKE GO!=

=SCANNING CHARGE!=

=WAKE UP!=

And with that, each rider prepared their finishers, the three Wizard Riders jumping into the air and their feet lighting ablaze. Gaim held his Daidaimaru, ready to slice as OOO jumped into the air, three rings set up before him while the sky turned black as night with the crescent moon appearing with Kiva's boot unlocking to form red wings with three green jewels before launching up, and Den-O's blade charging with electricity. The two riders on the ground swung their blades, creating aura slashes at Phoenix, which hit him at the same time as the five rider kicks that landed on him, hard, everything reverting to normal after that. He then exploded into mana, which was absorbed into the BeastDriver.

"Phew," Wizard sighed.


"Thanks for the meal!" Beast added.

The other four turned back to normal, as the Rider Rings shattered into dust.

"Well… that was short-lived," Sonic sighed.

"It was fun while it lasted, I guess," Megaman replied as Ian, Star and Tails returned to normal.

"That was quite a battle though," Ian figured.

Later, Akiza smiled as she was reading something. As she read it, though, she felt her barefeet being massaged somehow. She looked and saw Star's hands from a couple magic portals.

"Sneaky Starry," Akiza giggled as she looked up to see Star had magic portals up to his wrists, proving more that he was the one massaging her feet.

"You enjoying this?" Star asked.

"Sure am," Akiza smiled.


Pikatwig: Well, this was a neat chapter.

KKD: Sure was, and also, for those of you not in the know, there are two different stories referenced in here in the form of who took on what rider forms. Guess which ones they are, and I'll give you a virtual cookie.

Pikatwig: And I'm not gonna say, anyway, this chapter was a fun ride, did you enjoy this KKD?

KKD: Sure did. So, what's your favorite part?

Pikatwig: Sonia giving Ian that snowglobe.

KKD: I liked that, but I think my fav is when they all henshined and finally ended Phoenix. Good riddance to bad rubbish.

Pikatwig: Well, I hope you all enjoyed this chapter. Just Live More.

KKD: Jaa ne!
