Kamen Rider CD
Episode Seventeen: Merah 2018
LAST TIME,… ON KAMEN RIDER CD…
An American otaku, Christian Rice, has begun his destiny, and has become the Hero of Legend, by obtaining the powers of Kamen Rider CD. Along with Baxter Ewers, they trained with the students of UA Academy, and were able to defeat Another Deku. Realizing the dangers of Stom Niway, the heroes make their way to another world. Now, they will team up with a bird-themed warrior…
WORLD OF BIMA. CITY PARK.
A warrior, dressed in a black bodysuit, with red and gold armor stands in front of Christian and Baxter. His breastplate is black and silver, and his helmet is black, with silver trim and a red visor, with a bird motif. Christian had recognized the world and man now. The man poses, saying, "Garuda Warrior, Bima!"
The Kombatan, the skeleton foot soldiers of VUDO, surround the warrior, Bima. Christian is amazed by this sight. "This is the World of Bima!" he says, which confuses Baxter.
" Bima?" he says, "Who's Bima?"
" An Indonesian toku hero," Christian explains, "He was given his powers to fight against the evil organization named VUDO."
" So, should we help him?" Baxter asks, holding out his Ziku Driver.
Christian pulls his out as well, replying, "Certainly."
The two attach their Drivers to their waists, and they activate their Omniwatches.
CD! / BAX!
The two pose, with their clock displays appearing behind them. This catches Bima's attention, as well as the Kombatans. "What the hell?" the hero mutters, confused.
The two shout, "Henshin!", and they turn their Drivers, activating their transformations.
KAMEN RIDER CD! / KAMEN RIDER BAX!
They transform into CD and Bax, and they charge at some Kombatans, striking them down, which shocks Bima. CD summons the CD Slasher, and Bax summons the Bax Buster. CD slashes at some grunts, and Bax turns around. He notices some grunts approaching Bima, and he yells, "Watch out!", and shoots them down, surprising Bima.
Bima stands there, shocked at the abilities of the Riders. "Who are these men? What kind of power do they possess?" he thinks to himself.
" I have never seen such power," Mikhail says, the man who gave Ray the Merah and unknown to him and his friends, his brother.
" But, you should help them," he adds, "They might be helpful."
" Right," Bima says, as he rushes at some grunts, taking them down.
Bima and CD stand back to back, with Bax next to them, their weapons ready. Bima readies an arrow, and the Riders prepare their attacks. They then shout, and deliver a finishing attack, taking out the remaining troops in the area. After that, CD and Bax return to normal. "Wow, that was easy," Baxter says, high-fiving Christian.
" Excuse me," Bima says, "Who are you warriors?"
Christian and Baxter turn to face Bima, who reverts back to Ray. He walks up to them. "Oh," Christian says, "We're just some heroes passing through."
" Yeah, we're Kamen Riders," Baxter adds.
" Kamen Riders?" Ray says, confused by the term.
" Kamen? The Japanese word for mask?" Ray thought to himself, "These guys look western, but they call themselves something with a Japanese term."
" Yeah," Christian adds, "It's a TV show in our universe. We were granted the power of fictional characters, as well as our own powers."
" Well, I thank you for your help," Ray responds, holding his hand out to shake.
" No problem, Ray," Christian responds, accepting the handshake.
Ray is put off from this. "You know who I am?" he asks, and Baxter responds, "Well, Christian knows more about you. We know about every world we visit, one way or another. That includes the heroes we help out."
" Oh, okay then. Thank you so much. Would you two like to join me for lunch?" Ray asks.
Baxter shakes Ray's hand next, and Christian responds, "We'd love to."
MEANWHILE, AT THE VUDO BASE, IN THE PARALLEL WORLD…
" Damn that Bima! And those masked warriors as well!" Rasputin, the leader of VUDO,
screams in anger.
Rasputin's right hand, Iron Mask, stands there, awaiting orders. "Sir, I promise to take those
wretched heroes down," he says, bowing.
" Oh, I wouldn't believe that," a mysterious voice says, catching them off-guard.
There, a mysterious figure stands. It is an Asian woman, dressed in beautiful oriental clothing.
Iron Mask stands, outraged. "What?! How dare you?!" he shouts, charging at the woman, his claws ready to strike.
However, the woman smirks, and she snaps her fingers. Time freezes for the two villains, and
she walks around Iron Mask. "How barbaric," she says, before snapping her fingers, restoring time to normal.
Iron Mask stumbles from the shock, and turns around, surprised to see the woman in front of
him now. "What the?!" he mutters, "How did you do that?"
" Oh, it's simple really," the woman answers, "I am Nachi, a member of the group Stom
Niway. And I'm here to offer you something that can destroy that annoying Garuda Warrior."
This piques Rasputin's interest. "Master doesn't need your-," Iron Mask begins to say, before Rasputin interrupts him.
" Now wait, Iron Mask," Rasputin says, "I want to hear what this woman has to say."
Nachi pulls out a blank Anotherwatch, which she holds up, showing it to the dictator. "With this, you can create a monster that can take Bima's power, but will serve you."
Nachi walks over to Rasputin, and she hands him the watch. He chuckles to himself. "Perfect," he says, "I'll take you up on your offer."
The watch glows with dark energy, and it displays a monstrous version of Bima. He presses the button on the watch.
BIMA!
The watch surrounds itself with dark energy, and Rasputin lets go of it. The watch transforms into a horrific, bird-like figure. It had a jagged beak, wings with metal blades for feathers, and razor sharp talons. On one wing, it says "BIMA", and the other wing says "2013". This is the Kaijin Hero Another Bima. It screeches like a bird, and looks around. "Perfect!" Rasputin says, "Those masked warriors and Bima shall be no match for this monster!"
RAY'S HOUSE. THIRTY MINUTES LATER.
Christian and Baxter were now having a snack with Ray and Rena, who were enjoying the Riders' stories about other worlds. "Wow, those worlds sound amazing," Rena says, amazed by the story of their time in the World of My Hero Academia.
" Yeah, I'm surprised that there's a world where people have superpowers," Ray responds.
Ray was trying to hide his secret identity as Bima from Rena, and was just trying to sound like an everyday man who was amazed. "So, have you guys heard about Bima?" Rena asks the Riders, a smile on her face.
" Oh, yeah," Baxter responds, pointing at Ray, "He actually helped us save poor old Ray here."
Rena chuckles at this, and Ray has a look of annoyance on his face. "I wonder if I can just tell Rena I'm Bima already," he thinks to himself.
" I would recommend against that," Mikhail says to Ray, as the two now talk to each other in a white void, "The more people that know you're Bima, the more liabilities that VUDO will have against you."
Ray sighed at hearing this. Mikhail was right. He needed to limit who knew his secret. Randy already knew, due to Ray rescuing him from VUDO. He'll just have to keep it secret until the time is right and everyone is safe. "Hey, Ray," Rena's voice calls out.
Ray snaps back to normal, and turns to Rena, who looks confused. The riders stare at him, knowing what he's doing. "Are you okay?" Rena asks, "You kinda zoned out there."
" Oh, yes. I'm fine, Rena," Ray responds.
" Ray! Rena!" a man yells, before running into the room.
This was Randy and Rena's uncle, and Ray's adoptive uncle, Iwan. He runs to the TV, and turns it on. "Uncle! What's wrong?" Rena asks, and then, she receives her answer.
On the TV, there is a group of Kombatan attacking civilians. However, they are led by Another Bima, which catches everyone off guard. "That monster…! It looks like Bima!" Rena gasps.
Ray has an annoyed look on his face. "VUDO…," he thinks to himself, "To think that they would copy Bima's form…"
" No," Mikhail says, "I don't think VUDO created this creature. It doesn't fit their style."
" So, you're saying that they're working with someone?" Ray asks him.
" Very likely," Mikhail responds.
Ray then returns from the void he talks to Mikhail in. "Another Bima!" Christian says, which catches Ray's attention.
" Another Bima?" Ray mutters, and Christian responds, "Remember that group I told y'all about? Stom Niway? They create monstrous copies of the hero of a world, who try to defeat that world's hero."
" So, this Another Bima… How can it be defeated?" Ray asks.
" Normally, we need the power of the hero in order to defeat them," Baxter explains, and Ray says, "Well then. Maybe you two should go and take that monster down. At least, until you can meet up with Bima again."
The riders look at Ray, and notice him winking, hinting at what he plans to do. "Oh, good idea," Baxter says, "We'll see you guys later."
Christian and Baxter run out of the house, heading towards their Ride Strikers. They hop on, and they ride off, toward the city.
THE CITY. TEN MINUTES LATER.
Ten minutes pass, and Another Bima is still attacking civilians, along with the Kombatan. The kaijin grabs a woman's hand, which shocks her. She tries to break free, but it is no use. As Another Bima prepares to slash her with its razor-sharp feathers, a voice cries out, "Hold it!"
Another Bima and the woman turn in the direction the voice came from. There, Christian and Baxter ride up on their Ride Strikers. Christian then jumps off his, which reverts back into an Omniwatch, which Baxter grabs. Christian leaps at Another Bima, and summons the CD Slasher.
CD SLASHER!
Christian slashes at Another Bima, knocking it away from the woman, who is shocked at what she's seeing. Christian turns to the woman, and holds out his hand. "Are you okay, miss?" he asks, and she stares at him.
" Y-Yes, thank you," she answers, grabbing his hand.
He helps her up, and he says, "Run away. We'll handle these guys."
She nods in agreement, and runs away, in the direction the Riders came from. Baxter stops his bike, and turns it back into a watch as well. He tosses Christian his Bike Omniwatch, saying, "So, you think we can do it without an Omniwatch if we have Bima helping us?"
" I think so," Christian responds, "We'll just have to hold Another Bima off until Ray gets here."
The two attach their Ziku Drivers, and they activate their Omniwatches.
CD! / BAX!
They attach the watches to their Drivers, and they pose, before shouting, "Henshin!", and turning the belts.
RIDER TIME!
KAMEN RIDER CD! / KAMEN RIDER BAX!
Bax summons the Bax Buster, and the two fist bump. "Let's do it!" CD shouts, as they charge at Another Bima.
CD slashes at Another Bima, landing a shot. It stumbles back, and growls viciously. It throws some razor feathers at CD, who backflip over them. Bax then jumps over CD, and fires some shots at Another Bima. The kaijin falls to the ground, and the two cheer. "Man!" Bax says, "This is getting easier and easier the longer we go!"
At that moment, time freezes, allowing only Another Bima to move. The creature stands and turns around, as Nachi has appeared there. "Ah, the Riders… I've been wanting to meet them. Especially the… 'Hero of Legend'."
Nachi restores time to normal, and CD and Bax are shocked. "Wh-What the?!" Bax mutters.
CD looks at Nachi, and is confused. "Who are you?!" he asks, and she chuckles.
" Oh,... me? Allow me to introduce myself, Hero of Legend," she says, "My name is Nachi, and I am a member of Stom Niway."
The Riders are briefly shocked by this. "Stom Niway?" CD mutters, "So, you ARE here. Just what are you guys up to anyway?!"
" What are we up to? Why... we want to remold the Omniverse to our liking. It's as simple as that," she answers.
CD growls at this. "You don't get to twist reality however you want!" he yells, "You could cost people their lives!"
CD and Bax activate the Gasper and All Might Omniwatches, respectively, inserting them into their Drivers.
GASPER! / ALL MIGHT!
They turn the belts, and summon the armors, which begin to attach onto them.
ARMOR TIME!
GAS-PER! / SMASH! ALLl-MIGHT!
CD Gasper Armor holds Another Bima in place, while Bax All Might Armor throws a punch at Nachi. However, the Stom Niway member teleports behind Bax. She scoffs, saying, "Nice try, but so long for now."
She then teleports away, leaving Bax shocked. CD groans from using the Forbidden View Balor, stuttering out, "B-Bax,... hurry up…! I can't…!"
At that moment, time restores for Another Bima, who flies at Bax, tackling him into a building. "Bax!" CD shouts.
" CD!" a voice calls out.
CD turns around, and there is Ray, who runs up to him. "Ray! How did you get away from Rena?" he asks, and Ray responds, "I just told her that I had to use the bathroom really badly…"
" Another Bima has Bax! We need to hurry!" CD says.
" Right!" Ray says, right before he summons the Merah.
He poses and shouts, "Merah!"
INSIDE THE BATTERED BUILDING.
Another Bima throws Bax to the floor, and flings razor feathers at him. Bax notices this, and yelps in shock. He rolls away from the projectiles, which barely miss him. As Another Bima plans to throw more, Bima jumps into the building, grabbing his copy and crashing down. The two get up, and Bima kicks his copy back. "Garuda Warrior, Bima!" the hero calls out, before charging at his copy.
" Bax!" CD shouts, as he runs to his friend.
" What took you?" he mutters, and CD responds, "Sorry. Ray just got here…"
CD helps Bax up, and the two run to help Bima. CD freezes Another Bima again, and Bax takes this chance to punch Another Bima from behind. The kaijin goes flying, and Bima pulls out his bow, the Helios Blaster. He fires off an arrow, which destroys the right wing of Another Bima. The monster crashes to the ground, and slowly rises. The heroes exit the building, and they are shocked, as they are surrounded by a ton of Kombatan. "Oh, shit," CD mutters.
" Give up, Bima! You and those warriors are no match for the combined powers of myself and Another Bima!" Iron Mask says, as he appears in front of them.
" I don't think so, Iron Mask!" Bima shouts.
" Yeah!" Bax adds, "As long as heroes like us exist, no villain shall win!"
" And as the Hero of the Omniverse," CD says, "I won't let VUDA conquer this world!"
The Riders and Bima charge at Kombatan, taking them on one-by-one. CD slashes with the CD Slasher, while Bax fires with the Bax Buster. Meanwhile, Bima takes some on with punches and kicks. CD inserts the Issei Omniwatch onto the Slasher, and Bax inserts the Mario Omniwatch on the Buster.
FINISH TIME!
The Slasher's blade charges with green energy, while the Buster charges up a giant
fireball. The two then press the buttons on the weapons.
ISSEI! / MARIO!
CREATIVE DESTRUCTION! / BUSTER BLAST!
CD swings the Slasher around, unleashing an energy slash shaped like Ddraig. Bax,
meanwhile, fires into the air a giant fireball, which splits off up high, landing on many Kombatan, destroying them. Meanwhile, Bima takes on Iron Mask, the two of them throwing punches and kicks, dodging some every once in a while. As the battle continues, the heroes slowly lower the amount of Kombatan remaining. "This has gone on too long!" Iron Mask says, "Another Bima, destroy-!"
TCHU TCHU!
A couple laser blasts hit Another Bima, knocking him off his feet. This shocks everyone. "What the?!" Iron Mask mutters.
CD, Bax, and Bima turn to the source of the blast, and they are shocked at who they see. A figure stands there, dressed in a cloak, their face obscured by a white void. "It's the person who gave us our Drivers!" CD says, and is shocked. Another Bima growls and flies at the figure, but…
ZIKAN GIRADE!
GIRI GIRI GIRI!
The figure draws the Zikan Girade, the signature sword of Kamen Rider Zi-O, which surprises CD. "Th-That's-!" he thinks to himself, as the figure delivers a powerful slash, temporarily destroying the monster.
" That was a close one," the figure says, and they put the sword away.
The figure turns to the heroes, and says, "It's a pleasure to see you again, Hero of Legend. And your good friend as well."
" Cut the small talk," CD says, "Who are you? And why do you have the Zikan Girade? Why did you send us off on this journey?"
The figure sighs to themselves. "I really didn't want to reveal my identity right now," they say, "But, alright…"
The figure reaches for their hood, and slowly, they lift it off their head. The white void fades away, and their face… his face… can clearly be seen. CD was in shock, and he de-henshins. Christian knew that face. "Hello, Christian Rice," the figure says, "I'm So Okuno, it's nice to properly introduce myself to you."
NEXT TIME… ON KAMEN RIDER CD!
Christian: So Okuno? The actor for Sougo? Why are you here?
So Okuno: I'll explain as much as I can to you.
Rasputin: This monster failed! You lied to me!
Nachi: The thing is invincible unless the Riders use Bima's power themselves.
CD: Feel the power of the Garuda!
