Reviews:
KoutaMamba24: I have that clip on loop.
kamen rider Godking V: I think it was a mix of OC and also a reference.
KRNexus: Tokime is a reference to a character in the W Manga.
Shooting Star Dragon 3000: LET'S DO THIS MAN TO MAN!
DS Rider: He's going to help out hugely here.
Magic Detective: Hey, we had a good flow with this chapter.
ChaosSonic1: We've got plans in the chapter.
Bastion Lightz: Of course, we wouldn't do a half-ass-job on the Double chapters. Skull's gone, but he spent enough time with his daughter and his grand-daughter.
Here are reviews answered by our own GreyKing46:
Bastion Lightz: Unfortunately Skull does fade away, he has his own world to return to.
ChaosSonic1: We have ideas... an idea. We have an idea... we *had* an idea. We had an idea and we went with that.
MKDemigodZ-Warrior: The only new form we did not make up was FangTrigger. That happened in the manga and it was awesome. The female version of Kamen Rider Joker and Double Ocean/Ninja where creations by us.
Dragon Rider 66: It will, eventually. We technically created the Ocean/Ninja form. However there is an Ocean memory, a Dopant Memory at least.
KRNexus: They are from the Double Manga
kamen rider Godking V: Ocean is a cannon Dopant Memory. But OceanDopant is an OC form, to show how Double has grown plus as a small foreshadowing for the female KR Joker.
KoutaMamba24: SUPER fucking cathartic.
ConflictQuestio: I am guessing you are from the US? So let me give you this hypothetical. Say a near 20 year old walked up to you and, with 100% seriousness, said he wanted to and will be working towards being the emperor of the country. That is Sougo.
The Kuuga/Agito thing is because the entire conflict was about the arms race between humans and Grongi and how humans where becoming more like the Grongi, but they stopped. Also Godai in his final battle, where he sacrificed his smile so everyone else could keep theirs when Godai's thing is protecting smiles, by having the conflict continue it ruins what Godai and the police where fighting for.
I do not have the hours in the day for Amazon season 2's problems. Ryuki's problems was the tonal and rule Swiss cheese from Kobayashi and Inoue, as the two hated each other and where complete opposites in how the wrote stories in so many ways it makes the basic story telling crumble into dust. Kazari... we gave him a second chance since it was weird to just randomly leave one out. But the others, they were not literally evil. The only true evil character in OOO was Maki. The Greed where more chaotic than anything else, as they were basically just being driven to fulfil their desires in a way they didn't understand. And their desires where rather simple and sympathetic; to be complete... to actually live. To make Mezool happy. To feel the love of a child.

Kamen Rider Zi-O Revised
IT'S SPACE TIME, FOURZE!

It was a few days since the 'Near Typhoon Disaster' in Fuuto. Though people were getting much more electricity than they needed, it was a terrifying experience.
The school was relieved that the Kamen Riders who not only protected Fuuto were there but also the Riders who protected their city as well.
"I think we've got enough Quartz to get us through the next week of free time." Geiz commented as he, Sougo and Tsuki walked through the school.
"Tsuki? What's wrong?" Sougo asked in concern
"Huh? Oh, nothing." she commented
"Really? You just seem to be a little out of it since Fuuto." Geiz responded
"I'm fine. Really." She answered as she held a small thing on her bag.
"...You got that keychain from the store. Did you remember something?" Geiz asked protectively.
"Maybe..."
"You don't have to force yourself. It's okay, Tsuki." Sougo spoke
"I know, but it's just...It's like a niggling thing in the back of my mind." She admitted as she looked at the sky, an image in the back of her mind
Both Sougo and Geiz looked at her in worry, hoping that something would come to her mind. "Al."
"Huh?" The two asked her
"I... Just remembered something. Al... It is the start of...Something. I think... I think it was my name." Tsukuyomi whispered.
"'Al'?" The two asked and looked at each other.
"Well. That's a start, Tsuki." Geiz answered
Sougo nodded and hummed "... Alice?" he suggested as a potential name
"'Alice'? Could that be it?" Tsuki thought to herself.
"Maybe, I just thought of it." Sougo answered honestly.
"Well, it's a good try, Sougo." Tsuki answered
BING, BONG!
"That's the bell. Come on." Geiz sighed as they walked to their class
"I wonder how Woz is doing." Sougo commented
*2068*
Woz was walking through the corridors of Oma Zi-O's castle, pleased to know his past self had found such a great future Queen in Tsukuyomi.
He was walking confidently, a pride-filled smile on his face
He knocked on the door and awaited the response for him to enter. Which he didn't have to wait long for, the doors were opened by the interior guards of Oma Zi-O. "My Overlord." Woz spoke aloud with a proud tone. "Congratulations!" Woz proclaimed as he entered, wishing he had assembled a parade or something bigger for this moment
"Woz. What's this occasion? Has the Resistance been crushed?" Oma Zi-O asked darkly.
"No my Overlord, I have seen you and your queen's relationship blossom!" Woz said joyfully
CRACK!
"What?" His voice growled and shook the room, making his personal guard and Woz freeze in place. "What did you say? 'Queen'?" He threatened.
"Y-Yes! Qu-Queen Tsukuyomi..." he stuttered
Oma Zi-O pulled back and turned to Woz. "What?" he asked, "Leave, Woz." He ordered. "Keep an eye on them."
"My Overlord... I... I've never seen or heard of... Your Queen... In the modern-day... What happened?" Woz asked in worry
"My ascension, Woz. We're speeding it up." Oma Zi-O answered. "Giving him...Means."
"... Did you lose her?" Woz asked in concern and worry "Is that what inspired you? Her death?"
"Yes. That's right." He answered as he faced away from Woz.
"... I will save you." Woz commented "I will save your Queen, my Overlord."
"Good. You may go." Oma Zi-O answered, looking out to his kingdom as Woz disappeared back to the past. As he did, he clenched his fist...and punched the wall, leaving a large chunk out of it.
*2019*
"What's with the bus?" Sougo blinked, he and Tsuki having a small date during lunch
"Not sure. Maybe the school's making another trip?" Tsuki asked
"Another one? After Fuuto?" Sougo pondered and they all blinked in shock as they saw a whole bunch of children walk out of the bus
"Huh?" They asked as they saw the different uniforms and some teachers walk out.
"Yes, Sir." The students answered as they all waited by the entrance of the school.
"Ah, Kisaragi. You've made it alright." Tsukasa spoke as he walked out.
"Tsukasa! Hey buddy!" The man cheered and held his hand out, grabbing Tsukasa's hand
Tsukasa sighed and took his hand. "It's good to see you. You've done well for yourself."
The man smirked and shook his hand... Before he started to do a weird handshake.
He flipped their hands up, game Tsukasa a fist-bump, brought his hand down atop Tsukasa's before hitting it upwards
"What the heck?" Tsuki asked as she saw this.
"...I guess some people like Mr Tsukasa?" Sougo wondered in confusion
"Gentaro." A female voice said from the bus, a cute looking woman walking out of bus... Carrying a large suitcase twice the size of her
"Whoa!" Both Tsuki and Sougo gasped as they saw the woman holding those large bags
"Oh, do you need help with that, Nadeshiko?" Gentaro asked
"No, I'm alright." She smiled as the two students looked at the woman
"Oh, hello there. Are you Two of Tsukasa's students?" Nadeshiko asked kindly.
The woman had shoulder-length brown hair, brown eyes, wearing a blue jacket over a white shirt, a blue dress and black pump-shoes. On her left hand was a golden ring on her ring finger.
"Ah! You're the kid Rider from the party!" Gentaro grinned and moved over to Sougo, handing his hand out "I'm Kisaragi Gentaro, Kamen Rider Fouze! And my goal is to become friends with every Rider and every one of my students!"
"Oh-OH! Nice to meet you again, Sir." Sougo answered, being respectful to his senior Rider.
He looked his hand and reached out for it... And was pulled into the same handshake Gentaro did to Tsukasa moments ago
...It didn't go quite well, but it was fine.
"So, I've heard that you've had some trouble in Fuuto." Gentaro commented
"Yeah. But we stopped it." Tsuki said proudly
"Of course you did, saw it on the news." Gentaro smiled in response, shaking Tsuki's hand. "Good job!"
"Well, it wasn't just me. Double and Skull helped too." Sougo answered, giving praise when needed.
"So, what's going on?" Tsuki asked
"Oh, Tsukasa suggested that our schools should have a sort of competition." Gentaro answered
"That's the 'official' reason." Tsukasa responded. "You got a RideWatch?"
"I... Yeah?" Sougo blinked and held out a RideWatch
"Go-, that's not a blank one." Tsukasa deadpanned
"Huh?" Sougo blinked
"Don't you hear me? I'm a Kamen Rider." Gentaro huffed
"I-I'm sorry! I-I didn't think that-!" Sougo panicked apologetically as he pulled out a blank one, laughing nervously.
"Wow, so this is your 'AstroSwitch'?" Gentaro asked, comparing it to his own device.
"Um. Yes?" He responded
"He means your transformation device." Tsukasa answered
"R-Right." Sougo commented and passed the Blank RideWatch to Gentaro
As he gripped the device, an orange hologram clock-face and transformed into a white-based and orange face-plate RideWatch and a Kamen Rider's helmet on the plate.
FOURZE!
"Wow! Cool!" Gentaro grinned, throwing the watch up and down a few times. After catching it he smiled, a sad... Nostalgic smile
"What's wrong, Sir?" Tsuki asked
"Oh, just remembering." he chuckled and threw the watch to Sougo
"So, what's this about a 'school competition', Sir?" Sougo asked as he caught the watch
"Oh, basically a sports day that is a few days long." Tsukasa commented
"Oh, so a School-Wide contest." Tsuki answered. "Didn't we have one yet?"
"Nope. First one." Tsukasa responded. "C'mon, Gentaro. People are gonna be mad if we're not working our jobs."
"Hi! I'm Nadashiko Kisaragi! Gentaro's wife!" the other woman smiled
"Ga-ckh!" Tsukasa flinched as he heard that.
"Nice to meet you, Mrs Kisaragi. I'm Tsukuyomi, but please call me 'Tsuki'." Tsuki spoke kindly.
"Hey Tsukasa, buddy, what's wrong?" Gentaro asked
"You actually...married her?" Tsukasa asked while putting on a forced smile
"Of course!" He answered
"Why? What's wrong with her?" Sougo asked Tsukasa suspiciously
"She's-, a...nice lady. That's all." Tsukasa answered, being polite but hiding something. "You two better get ready, this sports day is mandatory."
"But... The school day is almost over?" Sougo blinked
"It starts tomorrow. So you need to make sure you're all ready!" Gentaro grinned
'Oh snap!' The two thought in worry.
"Wait...Where's Geiz?" Tsukasa asked as he saw only the duo.
"... In the lunch hall?" Sougo shrugged
"We were on a lunch date." Tsuki blushed
"Oh, really? You two are dating?" Gentaro asked as he felt like he had intruded
"Yeah." Sougo smiled proudly
"It's a good thing too, these two were giving me diabetes from all their 'will they, won't they?'." Tsukasa commented
"Don't say it like that." Tsuki grumbled
"Just come in your gym clothes tomorrow." Tsukasa rolled his eyes and walked off
"Um, yes, Sir." Sougo answered nervously. 'Where the heck is Geiz?'
*Time Skip*
It was the next day, the School's 'Competition was getting underway
Sougo was wearing the normal white shirt and blue knee-length shorts that were the school's sports uniform
Tsuki was wearing a pair of black shorts with a blue skirt and a white shirt with the school's emblem on it.
She was standing next to him, the skirt being super small so the shorts were noticeable... Most people thought the uniform was designed by a pervert.
"What're you two staring at?" Geiz asked as he walked downstairs...still wearing his parachute/military gear.
"Aren't you going to get changed?" Sougo asked
"And get caught off guard by an Another Rider? No." Geiz answered
"But you're going to get..." Tsuki began but was interrupted
"Mr Geiz." One teacher called with irritation
"In trouble." Tsuki deadpanned
"Why aren't you wearing your PE uniform?" The teacher glared
"I-"
"Go home and change!" the teacher ordered "And if I don't see you in the proper uniform by lunch break, you will be suspended!"
Geiz froze and then glared. "Fine." He answered and stormed off. 'That stupid Tsukasa!'
"At least you two were following the rules." The teacher spoke as they saw Tsuki and Sougo wear the correct clothing.
"We did tell him to get changed." Sougo muttered
"Hmm. Well, get ready. Mr Kadoya may be looking for you two." The teacher answered
"Why?" Tsuki asked
"Hmm." The teacher nodded. "Well, go get ready. It'll start soon."
"Yes, Sir." The two answered as they raced to the other students
"Big brother!" Ryuji cheered and raced over
"Huh? Oh, Ryuji!" Sougo asked before seeing him.
"What're you doing here?" Tsuki asked
"Dad invited us." Ryuji answered "Lots of parents and kids and normal people are here!"
"Oh. Yeah, there are a lot of parents here." Sougo realised.
"Sougo!" His great-uncle waved at him.
"Uncle!" Sougo called and waved
"I just saw Geiz leave. He was wearing his...thing again. And needed to borrow the key." Junichiro spoke
"He is VERY stubborn."
"I don't think I've ever seen him out of those clothes." Junichiro commented making the teens laugh
"Oh, you must be Mr Tokiwa." Natsumi asked
"That's right, I'm his Great-Uncle. I run the 9 5 Do clock shop." He answered
"Cool! We own a photo studio!" Ryuji grinned
"Is that right?" Junichiro smiled at Ryuji kindly.
TAP! TAP! TAP!
"Hello? This thing on?" The tannoy system spoke as it was turned on
"Oh, sounds like it's going to start." Junichiro spoke as he heard it. "Good luck kids!"
"Thanks, Uncle." Sougo answered as he went off to their own School's tent.
Meanwhile in the background, a figure frowned at them, it was another student who looked depressed
He was almost glaring daggers at them, depressed and angry, a sullen look on his brow. He had died purple hair and wasn't exactly wearing the proper uniform. ''Togetherness'? 'School pride'? What a joke.' The boy thought
"Wow! You seem cheerful!" Wol smirked from behind him
"Huh? Who're you?" The boy asked, quickly turning around and saw him
"My name's Wol. Want to be my friend?" He grinned evilly
"Your. 'Friend'? With someone like me?" The boy asked
"Of course." Wol grinned and pressed a button on the Another Watch in his hand, before shoving it into the kid's chest
"Gah?!" the kid gasped as he froze, pain filling him as Wol held the watch there
"What's your name?" Wol asked
"Ta-argh! Ta. Ku. Mi!" The boy groaned as he tried to answer
"Well, 'Takumi'. I'm your new friend." Wol smiled before he ripped his hand out of his chest, minus the watch... And Takumi was surrounded by purple energy
FOURZE!
Takumi screamed as he began to transform, turning into a horrible creature.
His whole body turned into a dull grey colour, his feet had a single red line going over the tops of his feet, his lower legs and shins turned into gill-like vents with an 'X' and triangle shape on his right and left shins respectively. His upper legs and thighs had black patches with thick veiny red markings like lightning. Around his waist were grey elongated hexagons like a belt with a strange blue buckle, made of moulded clay and black switches. His stomach and chest were in the same dull grey skin but with the red veins turning into golden warped metal going to his shoulders, two pipes connected his chest-piece to his stomach, black arm and shoulder joints, grey arms with black gloves with grey veins clasping onto the blood-red veins. On his forearms were two more symbols, an 'O' and a square; an finally his mask, with an almost bleached white/grey coloured rocket, with a black skull-like face with snarled teeth and sunken red eyes for a visor, short black batwings on the side of his head, with two rocket fins on the forehead like horns.
Takumi...no. Another Fourze was panting heavily, slumping forward toward the ground before shuddering.
*at the sports festival*
All the students and the teachers were standing around and listening to the announcements.
"Alright everyone, that was from our school. Now to give some words of encouragement, Mr Gentaro Kisaragi." A teacher spoke up
"Hey everyone!" The man cheered and rushed over
The school where Gentaro taught was cheering while Sougo's school was politely clapping. They were a bit worried by the reaction that their 'opponents' gave off.
"Hello everyone!" Gentaro waved "We are here today to share friendship and sportsmanship! So show your school pride and let's have fun!"
The classes clapped and cheered in response, seeing how kind the teacher was.
"Now, let's do it buddies!" he cheered
"He's really excitable." One of the girl students spoke as they went to their respective tents and their races.
First, it was track, very simple and basic
"Is everyone ready?" The PE teacher asked
"Where's Geiz?" One of the students asked
"He's not participating in this one." The teacher answered. "He's on another track."
lAuNcHeR oN!
"Huh?" The students asked as ugly rockets shot out and attacked the school and they all screamed as they ran away!
"What's happening? What's going on?" They panicked as they dispersed.
"Another Rider!" Sougo realised as the distorted voice gave it away
Most of the students had escaped at this point, Another Fourze making himself visible
It was a horrible sight to behold, with the Riders waiting there and seeing the terrible figure.
Nadeshiko stepped forward, pulling out a belt.
It was a dark blue belt with two red switches on either side and a black elongated rectangle screen in the middle. "I've got this, Gen." She spoke confidently.
"Thanks, Nadeshiko." Gentaro answered as she attached it to her waist, not caring about the students around. In fact, the students of their school seemed excited to see what was to come. The Driver produced a silver belt, the belt slanted stylishly on her hips.
She flicked down the two switches on her belt, causing them to power up with a strange 'space rocket' noise, as she raised her left arm up to her right shoulder.
THREE! TWO! ONE!
"HENSHIN!" She cheerfully spoke and moved her arms to the opposite, raising her right arm into the air and the left arm to the ground, as strange white circles appeared around her and formed a Kamen Rider's bodysuit around her.
She was now clad in a silvery-white space-suit like costume, blue ankle guards on her, single black hexagonal kneecap guards, black sides, a silver chest-plate with blue markings under her breasts and up to her collarbone, blue arm guards, a pink collar, a white helmet with a black plain face with large blue eyes and blue antennae on her head.
"Uchu~...KITAAAAAAAAA~!" She cheered
"KIIIIIITA!" the students cheered right after her
"...Okay. That's kinda cute." Tsuki admitted
"fOuRzE! yOu!" Another Fourze glared at her.
"Kamen Rider Nadashiko! Let's do this One on One!" The female rider cheered, bumping her fist against her chest before she pointed at the Another Rider. She then reached down and pressed down the button atop the orange switch in her belt
RO~CKET~ ON!
Suddenly, a large rocket appeared over her arm and she leapt at him with a powerful 'rocket punch'.
Literally.
BOOM!
"aRgH!" Another Fourze grunted as he was punched in the face. Before punching back with an intense hit.
"Whoa!" Sougo blinked
"Way to go!" Gentaro cheered, as did the students
fIrE!
Another Fourze shot out a large flame stream at her, trying to force her back
SHI~ELD~ ON!
"HA!" Nadeshiko called out and protected herself and the students behind her. "You won't hurt them."
She called, a shield based off the front of a space ship strapped to the arm without the rocket
"Come on kids, this way!" Gentaro called, leading the last of the kids away
"Finally." Tsukasa sighed as he attached his belt "Henshin."
KAMEN RIDE: DECADE!
"We can end this right away!" Sougo grinned as he attached his belt "Let's go!"
ZI-O!
FOURZE!
"Henshin!" Sougo called as he charged in alongside Tsukasa
RIDER TIME! ZI-O~!
Sougo and Tsukasa both delivered a powerful punch, a double burst of pink energy knocking Another Fourze back
"Nadashiko Rocket Kick!" Nadashiko called as she flew through the air, slamming her heeled boot into the faker Rider's chest
"Here we go!" Sougo called as he slotted the watch into place, spinning it and accessing his new power. Behind him, a large, human-sized, white and orange rocket appeared before it blasted into the air
ARMOUR TIME
"Huh? Ah!" Sougo gasped as the rocket flew around him before separating and attached to his body.
3! 2! 1! FOURZE~!
Sougo's shins had become protected by the rocket's thrusters with the black cones and the orange-tipped fins facing outwards, orange streaks went up the side of his body as two large rockets appeared over his hands and covered up to his elbows; his chest had a grey and pink marked, white chest piece with a modified orange 'X' on the centre with two large 'wings' on his shoulders. And finally, Sougo's helmet was now in the shape of a rocket with the pink Katakana on his visor reading 'Fourze'.
"IWAE!" Woz's voice proclaimed through the school's tannoy system.
"Huh?" The fighters asked in shock, catching some of the student's who were running away's attention.
Woz was sitting confidently in the Principal's chair, book unfolded before him "Standing before you is the King of Time! Travelling through the eras, passing through the Past and the Present, he has obtained yet another Power! The power of another Kamen Rider, of space and friendship, has landed in his hands as he takes another step towards his destiny! This is Kamen Rider Zi-O Fourze Armour! Witness his newest birth, his ascension past the stratosphere! It is Time for Space, and it is Awesome! "
"He is really spicing these up recently." Tsuki commented
"Let's give this a try!" Sougo grinned as he crouched down, all of the thrusters' jets on his suit coming to life
The thrusters began to roar and shot Sougo at the Another Rider like a literal rocket and slammed into him, crashing right into his stomach.
He pushed on like a drill, pulling him into the air
"... Oh..." Tsukasa blinked before he sighed and slotted a card
ATTACK RIDE: CONNECT!
Suddenly a magenta version of Wizard's spell seal appeared before him, Tsukasa shooting into it
The blasts appeared from a second portal that appeared, shooting Another Fourze in the back as Sougo and he speared. This gave an opening for Nadeshiko to rocket punch him to the ground... Again, literally
Another Fourze was sparking in pain, coughing angrily. "I. hAtE. yOu!" Making Nadeshiko take a step back
"Nadeshiko! Use this!" Gentaro called, throwing a clear yellow switch at his wife
Nadeshiko reached up to catch it while Another Fourze was struggling to get up, still enraged and almost ready to kill them. "Got it!"
She turned the rocket off and removed the switch, swapping it for the new one
ELEC! ON!
The power of that 'Switch' began to course through Nadeshiko and transform her costume from silvery white to an electric yellow
Lightning sparked over her body, her form changing
And now, she had fully transformed into her new 'State', Nadeshiko: Elec Form!
She pulled out a stun baton weapon, Billy the Rod, as her form sparked
"Let's go~~~!" She cheered and struck at him, sparking him with powerful electricity making him shake and yell in pain, a cartoon skeleton appearing under the form of the Another Rider for a few moments.
'...A skeleton?' Sougo thought in shock.
"Aren't you going to do anything, 'King'?" Tsukasa commented
"Oh! Right!" Sougo nodded, pressing the buttons on his belt
FINISH TIME! FOURZE!
Sougo leapt into the air and began to spin into a rocket-powered drill. 'Oh, this is making me dizzy!' Sougo groaned
LIMIT! TIME BREAK!
sTeAlTh
Another Fourze turned invisible as Sougo came crashing down, drilling into the ground
"Ow." Sougo groaned as he was drilled into the ground and was about...ten to fifteen feet deep.
"Sougo!" Tsuki gasped and rushed to his side
"Where did he go?" Tsukasa frowned as he detransformed
*elsewhere*
Another Fourze panted as he clattered away from bins and hid behind an alley and transformed back into his normal self.
... Before he fell to his knees and coughed up some blood
'B-Blood. I-I'm bleeding!' Takumi thought in anger and pain, almost weeping that he was this weak.
Why... Why did it hurt? Why did EVERYTHING always hurt?
"D-Damn it. Damn it. Damn it!" Takumi coughed and began to crawl away, his blood and tears mixing together on the ground as he hobbled away
*back with the Riders, a few minutes later*
"Who was that guy?" Nadeshiko asked as she and Gentaro were already caught up on the whole concept of 'Another Riders', they were just thinking who it was behind the distorted form.
"No idea." Tsukasa shrugged
"I should go and see if the students are all safe. It's been a heck of a day." Gentaro spoke up.
"Yeah, good idea." Sougo answered, holding the Fourze Watch in his hand.
"What's wrong?" Tsuki asked
"I haven't had any problem with fighting with RideWatches before...And that Another Rider was someone different." Sougo responded
"It said it hated me." Nadeshiko said to Gentaro as if it was a massive deal
"Yeah, why is that? I mean, I get why they would hate me but-" Sougo spoke up as he saw Gentaro and was confused why he was taking this so personally.
"Kamen Rider Fourze... The power is tied to friendship." Gen explained
"Oh." Sougo frowned as he recalled that. How could he brush that off so lightly? "I'm sorry. But...Who would be angry enough to hate you?"
"Well, their bad guys for one." Tsukasa answered. "People who haven't met him or were annoyed by him."
"Sure you're not talking about yourself?" Geiz's voice called out as he had arrived and wearing the 'school uniform' for the day
"Hey, what took you so long." Tsukasa smirked back
"I'm not comfortable wearing stuff that's not my normal clothes." Geiz answered as he was wearing a school-issued tracksuit.
"Well, we need to find Another Fourze." Sougo said
"...I guess I missed quite a bit." Geiz crossed his arms.
"Yes. Yes, you did." Tsukasa answered
*time skip*
Takumi was hobbling away, a little better than before, but he was still in pain. School was over and he could make his escape... But he could hear that voice.
'lEt mE oUt. iT's mY tUrN!'- The voice whispered, almost like nails on a chalkboard.
"SHUT UP!" Takumi yelled in pain
That yell caused someone to appear behind him, unintentionally terrifying the poor soul. "Takumi?"
Takumi immediately turned around and saw Wol standing there, almost giving him a heart attack. "W-Wol! What-? What're you-? What've you done to me?" He snapped
"I... Don't know." Wol admitted, seeing the blood dripping from his lips. Fear clearly in his eyes
"It-It hurts! This pa-argh!" Takumi groaned, reaching out to him before clutching his side in pain.
"Oh no!" Wol gasped and grabbed him, warping the two of them to Swartz and Aura
In an undisclosed location, Wol had brought Takumi to Swartz and Aura, both were just sitting around, but Swartz was looking out at the city with a dark and menacing gaze while Aura was looking through a fashion magazine and sipping some tea.
"Aura! Swartz! Help! He's bleeding!" Wol called to the two of them, panicking as he carried Takumi.
"What?!" Aura gasped, dropping her magazine
"Swartz, help!" Wol panicked
"Hmm? Oh, look at that. That's new." Swartz spoke, almost uncaringly as he saw Takumi bleeding.
"What happened?!" Wol yelled
"He's in perfect synch with his RideWatch. That's what." Swartz answered simply.
"'P-p-Perfect'? What?" Takumi wheezed as he looked at them. "Help me!"
Swartz backed up and crossed his arms. "This is a rare opportunity. You can be the best 'Another Rider' yet."
"Swartz! He's dying! What's going on?!" Aura snapped "Why is he bleeding!"
"The Another RideWatch is fighting for control. He's the perfect host for it." Swartz answered casually. "It's fighting for control."
"Fighting... For control?" Wol and Aura asked, horror in their eyes
"Yes. This young man. No, this prodigy, is a Kamen Rider. And the power is trying to take control." Swartz answered, almost ecstatic to see someone have that million to one shot. "Another Fourze is ready to take over! To take his body and finish its evolution!"
"B-But what about Takumi?" Wol asked as he held him up.
"What about Takumi? He'll be the next Fourze in this world!" Swartz brushed him off. "He's just the host."
"I'm not a ho-CAH!" Takumi tried to answer before coughing up blood, feeling Another Fourze taking control. "No! NO!" he begged
Swartz grabbed at Takumi and lifted him up. "You can. And will! I'm not waiting for another 'Perfect Synch'!"
"Swartz, stop that!" Aura pushed him, trying to stop him from killing this kid.
"You told us the Another Rider's WERE the people! But... NOW you're saying they take over?! What is going on?!" Wol snapped
"Idiots." Swartz muttered. "That's the price you pay to become a Rider! To sacrifice your humanity for power!"
"What?" the two asked in horror
"HE has the gift to be a Rider! And you want to take that from me?!" He yelled at them. "Remember, this is what's needed to fight Oma Zi-O!"
"This... This... This isn't... It isn't supposed to be like this!" Wol gasped in fear
"Then you're not willing to take that step!" Swartz answered, shoving Wol away. "And you, Aura? What about-?"
SLAP!
A red mark appeared on Swartz's face, the shaking hand of Aura...She had just done that in defiance. "That. Is not. What we agreed to." She said simply "These... Things! They are parasites! We aren't making a new king! We are... It's YOUR plan! And you are hiding something!"
Swartz was containing his emotions, shaking in either anger and rage, or joy and elation. Aura had hit the right button. "You're just as culpable as me. Your hands are stained with ruined lives!"
"What?" she gasped
"Kuuga. Build. OOO. Shinobi. Quiz. Kikai. All of those Riders. You and Wol have ruined so many! So get off your high horse!" Swartz listed off and accused them. "Blade! He is a fate obsessed soldier! Remember him?" He grabbed Aura by her dress and slammed her against the wall.
"You're nothing more, than my pawn! You do as I-!" Swartz demanded
"Let go of her!" Wol shouted and leapt onto his back, smacking him in the head. "You liar! Fix him!"
"... You... Stupid child." Swartz hissed, throwing Wol to the wall
"GAH!"
"Wol!" Aura panicked as she saw him thrown about like a rag-doll.
"S-stop." Takumi coughed and struggled to get up.
"And you." Swartz punched Aura in the stomach
"ACK!" She coughed in pain
"Stop it. NOW!" Takumi shouted as the Another Fourze power flowed through him and began to transform
FoUrZe! MaGnEt!
"Huh?" Swartz turned and was flung away, thrust into the opposite end of the building and into the wall.
Both Wol and Aura were stunned, seeing this poor person save them from Swartz...but the look in Takumi's eyes was terrifying. Hollow and dead. "lIaRs. aLl oF yOu. lIaRs!"
In a large burst of darkness, he had transformed into Another Fourze... And beyond
"Wh-what's happened?" Wol gasped
"He-he's transformed." Aura panicked
"Into Another Fourze Magnet State!" Swartz laughed
Another Fourze now had a pitch-black skull-like helmet face, piercing and jagged orange eyes, two warped metal cannons on his shoulders, large blue and red magnets on his wrists that looked like magnetic spikes with a circle and square on his arms, red and blue vein protrusions on his sides and chest. Warped and disgusting, a perversion of the true Fourze.
It snarled in anger before it roared, disappearing in a rush of... Space dust or something
"What've I done?" Wol whispered as he didn't realise the gravity of the situation beforehand, knowing that he made this creature. He fell to his knees, crying a bit.
*back at school*
"No one has seen Takumi Hoshi all day. But he did come to school." Tsukasa informed, reading through a book.
"'Takumi Hoshi'?" Sougo asked
"One of my students from our school." Gentaro answered
"Is he a problem student?" Geiz asked
"Not really. Just a bit of a loner." Nadeshiko explained "He's been depressed ever since his parents died last year."
Sougo hummed a little at that, having lost his parents when he was young too...but this kid, having lost them so recently. It must be heartbreaking.
"Didn't help when some of the other students he thought were his friends betrayed him." Gentaro explained sadly "They pretended to be his friend in order to make him do their homework for him. He was always a good student, he loves space. He wanted to be an astronaut." Gen was now looking to the sky and smiling a bit, familiar faces flashing through his mind.
"That's a good dream...But what the hell is with kids in this time period?" Geiz grumbled, hating the idea that people were that cruel and petty.
"What do you mean?" Tsukuyomi asked
"I mean, we had to work together in our time. All of us. We had to stick together or we'd fall." Geiz answered. "But these... Children! Turning on each other and beating each other down over the PETIEST of things!"
"That's why I try and help everyone, try and help bring people together." Gentaro answered "To help... everyone, really."
"Sounds like a noble goal. Truly." Geiz admitted with everyone nodding in agreement.
"But how're we going to find Takumi? He could be anywhere now." Nadeshiko asked "He's been gone for hours."
"Do you know where those 'Jackers' could've taken him?" Tsukasa responded, closing the book
"We have no idea where their base is." Woz admitted "Or if they even have one."
"Gah! Could you not!" Geiz snapped at him.
"Is this the 'Woz, iwae' guy you mentioned?" Gentaro asked
"..." Woz was silent, his eyebrow twitching softly
"Yeah, this is 'Woz'." Sougo answered.
"Cool. Nice to meet you." Gentaro responded and extended his hand.
"Why didn't you even pull out your driver?" Tsukuyomi asked Gentaro in worry
"Ah. Well...I got rid of it." Gentaro answered.
"What?" The three Time Riders asked in shock
"I... Kinda... Threw my driver into molten metal to help a student realise he wasn't a bad person?" he admitted shyly
"Overkill in my opinion." Tsukasa responded
"If we want snarky comebacks, we'll ask your wife." Geiz glared
"Don't! You dare!" Tsukasa hissed
"Girls, you're both pretty; but can we get back to the matter at hand here?" Tsukuyomi asked as she stopped the two from fighting.
"Meaning you can't transform into Fourze." Sougo sighed in understanding.
"... Yeah." Gen nodded with a sad smile
"Meaning it's up to me and you to stop Takumi." Nadeshiko followed up as she pointed to Sougo.
Sougo nodded and hummed gently, holding the RideWatch in his hand. "I just hope I can use it properly."
"You'll do fine." Gen nodded
BOOM!
BANG!
"What was that?" Woz gasped as he heard those explosions.
"Trouble, that's what." Tsukasa answered
BOOM!
BANG!
"Geiz, Woz, help the students!" Sougo ordered as he rushed to the battle
"Got it/Yes, My Overlord." Geiz and Woz answered and left to help them.
"Mrs Kisaragi, let's go." Sougo followed up
"Right!"
"Tsukuyomi, with me." Tsukasa ordered
"Yes, sir." She nodded, readying her FaizPhoneX blaster
"I'll help where I can. This is my student after all." Gentaro added as he turned to Tsukasa.
"Go with them and keep any students too close to the action out of the way." Tsukasa said casually
"I got it, Senpai." Gentaro joked and gave a thumbs up.
BOOM!
"And we better hurry!" Sougo added
"HENSHIN!"
*elsewhere*
Takumi, or should we say 'Another Fourze Magnet States', was on a rampage, powering up the cannons strapped onto his shoulders and firing them with malicious ferocity
Suddenly Zi-O Fourze Armour flew through the air and crashed into the Another Rider
"aRgH! hUrT! yOu hUrT mE!" Another Fourze snarled as he rolled on the ground, still feeling the pain from earlier.
Sougo came to a stop and skid across the ground, crouching. "Takumi! You've got to stop this!" He called out to him.
"TaKuMi Is GoNe!" Another Fourze hissed
"No. I don't believe that. He's still in there!" Sougo answered, pointing at him. "And we are going to stop you!"
"'wE'?" Another Fourze glared
"Nadeshiko Rocket Punch!" Nadeshiko called out and punched Another Fourze in the face.
"Ah!" The Another Rider howled in pain
"Sorry, Takumi. We're just trying to help." Nadeshiko apologised.
Another Fourze roared, unleashing a large magnet blast assault. Both Sougo and Nadeshiko leapt out of the way, using their rocket abilities to get some distance. But this rampaging power was immense.
"What do we do?!" Sougo asked
"Don't you have something to level the playing field?" Nadeshiko asked in concern. "Tsukasa said you had his power!"
"Yeah, I do." Sougo nodded, pulling the Decade RideWatch out... Before getting hit out of the air and crashing to the ground
"ZI-O!" Nadeshiko called out.
CRASH!
"O-Ow!" He groaned
"nO! nO mOrE! I aM fOuRzE!" Another Fourze roared, demanding his place.
... And Gentaro came rushing in, punching him across the face
"oOf! h-hUh?" Another Fourze grunted as he felt that human fist on his face.
"Friends... They are the most valuable thing in the universe." Gentaro frowned "Friendships bond together, friends of friends getting to know each other. Everyone supporting each other and getting stronger together. Everyone becoming the best version of themselves! Everyone's feelings swirl together and form a galaxy!" Gentaro called passionately "I am not going to let you use Fourze to destroy that!"
"So... YoU hAtE mE?" Another Fourze asked, almost in excitement
"No!" Gentaro smirked "I'm fact... I think your kinda cool and want to be your friend!"
...
"What?" those watching asked in shock and disbelief
"I'm going to befriend you... JUST to spite you!" Gentaro called and pointed, grinning
"That's the Kisaragi I know." A male voice chuckled, a new man arriving. He was clad in a smart suit, with black hair and carrying a silver suitcase that had a black rocket ship symbol on it
"Kengo?!" Genrato gasped
"Kengo-San!" Nadashiko gasped
"What are you doing here?!" Gentaro asked in worry
"Kadoya called a few days ago, so I rushed to finish this. I thought it was time." Kengo said, throwing the case to Gentaro "Its a present for my best bud."
"Yosh!" Gentaro blinked as he caught the case, recognising the symbol "No way! Kengo... is this?" he asked, opening the case to reveal...
"A new FourzeDriver. Don't break this one." Kengo smirked
Gentaro was silent as he pulled out a letter, holding back tears. It had messages from all his friends
Yuki, Miu, Tomoko, Shun, JK and Ryusei
All of them wishing him luck and telling him to do his best
"Guys... " he whispered, brushing his tears away
"SENSEI! SENSEI! SENSEI!" students from Gentaro's school cheered, all of them hiding at a safe distance... And holding banners with the rocker symbol on, all the banners having the words 'Kamen Rider Club' inscribed on them
"... Guys... IKUZEEEEE!" Gentaro roared as he pulled the Driver out and slammed it onto his waist. The Driver was like Nadashiko's only less of a sparkly blue, the Driver also having four switch slots and red switches on the front with the final difference being a large black handle on the right side
WOW! DECADE!
"Right." Sougo nodded as he had swapped to Decade Armour while holding the Fourze watch ready
Gentaro stood calmly, flicking down all four switches before slightly crouched position with one arm crossed over his chest and his belt counting down
3!
2!
1!
"HENSHIN!" Gentaro called as he gripped the black handle and pumped it forwards, before standing tall and stretching his arms out wide
The sound of space-techno music called out as a pair of light circles emerged around his head and feet, encircling him as it formed around Gentaro as a full Kamen Rider!
His body was a full space-white and silver with orange stripes on his sides, an 'X' a circle, a square and a triangle on his legs and arms, overlapped thin silver lengthy arches on his chest and waist. And finally a white rocket-shaped helmet with a black face area with red eye-visor.
"i-iMpOsSiBlE!" Another Fourze gasped
"Uchu..." Gentaro crouched down, coiling himself into a ball before he 'exploded' upwards. "KITAAAAAAAAAA...!"
The shout reached up towards the sky, going up and up past the stratosphere and showed the majesty of the blue and green orb floating in space before coming back down to Gentaro who was still cheering. "...AAAAAA!"
Gentaro shook his shoulders and grinned "Kamen Rider Fourze!" he called, brushing his hand across his helmet like he was slicking his hair back
"Kamen Rider Nadeshiko!" His wife cheered, fist-pumping slightly
"Kamen Rider Zi-O!" Sougo finished, holding his hand up in its clock hand pose
"We're gonna beat you, Man to Man!" Gentaro finished, bumping his hand against his chest twice before he pointed at Another Fourze dramatically
*Elsewhere*
Geiz and Woz were helping people get out of the school and city, keeping them away from Another Fourze's rampage.
"Aaaahhhhhh!" a female scream filled the air
"Rise!" Geiz gasped and looked up. He saw her screaming, standing above some rubble that was falling towards her
GEIZ!
He leapt down as he transformed to protect her, to get her out of the way, not caring for his secret as a Kamen Rider.
"HENSHIN!" He yelled, the world seems to come to a stop in Geiz's mind. All he cared about was getting there in time!
Rise fell to the floor, about to pass out in fear as she looked her death in the eye. She gasped as she saw Geiz arrive before her, raising his arms into the air as if to block the debris
RIDER TIME!
The girl's eyes widened as black and red armour appeared out of the ether, attaching to Geiz's body rapidly
KAMEN~ RAI~DA~! GEIZ~!
The yellow katakana flew into the air, cutting apart a bunch of the rubble before they returned to their owner
The last thing Rise saw, however, before she passed out was Geiz in his rider form, all but his head clad in the armour as he stood there as her Knight in blazing armour. The passed out with a small breath, one word leaving her lips "Geiz...?" she whispered weakly before she fell limp on the ground
Geiz's head was quickly surrounded by the black and white helmet, his katakana attaching and shining before he punched the rocks and destroyed them before he or Rise was hurt. Geiz grunted as he threw hit after hit, feeling his fists throb in pain from the boulders. He gave a final roar of power, slashing with his ace and destroying the last of it. Geiz panted as he had protected her, brushing off the debris and held her in his arms, carrying her out to a safe zone.
Woz was staring, silent and curious
'I'm sorry, Rise.' Geiz thought in apology as he carried her.
*back at the battle*
"hOw? hOw aRe YoU sTiLl hErE?" Another Fourze snarled as he shot at Gentaro, Nadeshiko and Sougo. "fOuRzE sHoUlD bE gOnE!"
"Yeah... New system, buddy." Gentaro said as he rolled his arm before hitting the orange button on his belt "Different Fourze! Now..."
ROCK~ET~ ON!
"RIDER ROCKET PUNCH!" Kamen Rider Fourze cheered as he was rocketed through the air, racing at Another Fourze
W-W-Wow! Fourze!
The two Riders punched each other, but with Another Fourze's bulk, its fist couldn't reach Gentaro and was punched away
Spike! SPI~KE~ ON!
W-W-Wow! Oh yay!
"ORA!" Gen called as he span his body, slamming his now forest green armoured right leg into Another Fourze's chest
"What the?" Sougo gasped as he saw that.
He grinned and slotted the Fourze RideWatch into place on the Decade RideWatch, changing forms
FINAL FORM TIME: F-F-FOURZE!
There was a flurry of his form and Zi-O had changed, once more
Zi-O's armour began to shift and change. The lower half of his body changed into a silvery armour, like Fourze's suit and had a single blue and red line on his sides with the 'X' and 'O' on his legs. "Uchu...KITAAAA!" Sougo proclaimed out of...Somewhere.
High! School kara housouchuu
burger katate hungry na everyday
Sougo rushed in, jumping and letting the magnets in his gauntlets pull him at Another Fourze. He gave a series of rapid punches, yelling
Gattling! LAUN~CHER~ ON! GATTA-LI~NG ON!
"Eat this!" Gen called, two blue weapons on his legs. One a large missile launcher and the other a Gatling gun
BANG!
BANG!
BOOM!
BOOM!
Madamada tarinai Yume wa large-size
Come on Switch On
"Nadeshiko! Rocket! Spin Kick!" Nadeshiko yelled as she span around the Another Rider as he was thrown into the air, performing a kick with all her might
"Grr!" Another Fourze growled as he was sent flying "WaTeR!" It roared as a broken faucet forced itself from his skin
Retro-future Sonna no wa fusaiyou!
"Heh." Gen grinned as he rushed forward, swapping the Rocket Switch in his belt with the clear yellow one that Nadeshiko had used earlier
Elek! EL~EK~ ON!
Omoitsuki image mirai he Blast Off
Fourze Elek State drew his weapon, Billy The Rod, and slashed at the water that was sprayed at them. He switched the plug to the middle setting and slashed lightning bolt through the water at Another Fourze
Koushiki nanka imi ga nai
"Grraaah!" Another Fourze yelled as he was electrocuted
"Me too!" Sougo grinned, filled with so much energy as he drew the HeiSabre
HEY! FOURZE! DUEL TIME BREAK!
Gentaro laughed and pulled the Elek Switch from his belt, slotting it into the weapon
Limit Break!
"RIDER TWN BILLION VOLT DOUBLE BREAK!" Gentaro roared as he and Sougo slashed, sending two large waves of lightning at Another Fourze
Hito no hanashi dake de shitta ki ni naranai de
Kakan ni tough ni CHALLENGE
The electricity sparked over Another Fourze, causing him to fly into the air and then rash into the ground, Takumi inside was starting to 'come out' from it as well.
'You aren't... Going to beat me!' Takumi thought, prepared to hold Another Fourze back further
'wHaT? yOu wErE GONE! hOw?' Another Fourze thought as he could feel Takumi's will push through and hold him back
FI~RE~ ON!
Genkai nante bukkowashiteyare jibun no te de
In a flurry of light Fourze had transformed once more, now in his Fire State
(Wow wow wow Switch ON)
Gentaro's armour had changed into a red suit, only his legs and left arm-bands remained white; he gained silver shoulder and chest pads with triangular protrusions with flames on them, his helmet had changed to red with two small rocket thrusters that looked like a flamethrower's tip, green eyes and a red to yellow gradient for his face. In his hand was a strange hand-held cannon of sorts with black grips and a metallic sheen to it.
Another Fourze turned to see Gentaro and was shot at with intense flames, even with the railgun abilities it had before then being doused in fire extinguisher foam.
'Extinguisher foam?' Sougo thought, before realising what it meant. 'Oh, I got you!' as he realised the gun Fourze was using was based on a fire extinguisher.
Another Fourze shouted as he was getting sprayed by the foamy substance, covered and attacked by the foam.
Kinou yori STEP UP
Go-Win! Go-Win! My friends
CL~AW~ ON! SCISS~ORS~ ON!
"Nadeshiko Double Cutter!" The female Rider yelled as she came rushing by, a purple claw in her left hand and a giant pair of yellow scissors on her left as she slashed
Taikiken datte toppashite
FINISH TIME! BLADE!
"Zi-O! Lightning Blast!" Sougo called, unable to stop himself as he joined in. Slotting the Blade RideWatch into the Jikan Glade and rushing in with a lightning slash
GIRI GIRI SLASH!
LIMIT BREAK!
(Wow wow wow Switch ON)
"Ahhhh~!" Fourze chanted as he had inserted the Fire Switch into his weapon, the device charging with energy "RIDER EXPLOSIVE SHOOT!"
Another Fourze exploded and was flung back by the immense power of the three Riders, landing and transforming back into its regular 'Base State', reeling in pain as Takumi continued to wrestle his body back from him. He wouldn't let this monster take his life.
"Let's finish this!" Gentaro grinned and pulled out a massive orange switch
Tabidachi no COUNTDOWN
RO~CKET~ ON! -SU~PER~!
Gentaro's full armour, except his boots, had changed to bright orange with silver shoulder-pads blue lines over his chest, a black screen on his face with blue eyes and two HUGE ROCKETS for hands!
'...Oh. That is cool.' Sougo and Takumi thought to themselves.
"TO SPACE!" The space Rider roared as the rockets came to life and he shot right at Another Fourze, dragging him into the sky.
"ArRrRrRrGgGgGhHhH!" Another Fourze screamed as he was flung into the air and terrified
RO~CKET~ ON! WIN~CH~ ON!
"Wha..." Sougo blinked as a green hook was wrapped around his waist... Before he was dragged into the air by Nadeshiko, who was racing into the sky via the rocket on her arm "AAAAAAAAHHHHHHHH!"
Tomaranai Growing Choushigekiteki SCHOOLDAYS!
"Here we go, Sougo!" Nadeshiko cheered as they all flew into the sky...no. Past the sky!
Right into space!
Sougo couldn't believe it, he, Nadeshiko and both Fourze's were in SPACE! "Sougo! All together!" Gentaro spoke up and he got Another Fourze into position while he pumped his Driver and flicked a switch.
DR~ILL~ ON! RO~CK~ET DR~ILL Limit Break!
Wow wow wow!
"Right!" Sougo nodded and hit the Decade RideWatch's button
F-F-FOURZE! FINAL ATTACK TIME BREAK!
(Fourze!)
"nO, nO, nO, nO, NO!" Another Fourze screamed as the three space-themed Riders got together and launched themselves into Another Fourze
"Super Rider Docket Drill Kick!" Gentaro called
"Nadashiko Rocket Kick!" Nadashiko added, energy swirling around her foot as she rushed forth as well
"Zi-O Magnet Fourze Kick!" Sougo yelled as well
Wow wow wow!
The three rushed forward, their kicks colliding with Another Fourze tried to hold them back "Noo! Won't! Loose!" Another Fourze hissed
'LET ME GO!' Takumi roared in his mind
"TRIPLE RIDER KICK!" The three riders roared
(OH YEAH!)
KABOOM!
The three true Riders shot Another Fourze into the ground, destroying him for good and freed Takumi from its malicious control.
SHATTER!
The Another RideWatch was gone, Takumi was saved...And Kamen Rider Fourze was back!
"Yeah!" Gen cheered, fist-pumping while the new Kamen Rider Club cheered in the background
"You've...got a fan club?" Sougo asked as he saw the fan club before them.
"The current generation, of course." Nadeshiko smiled in response
"And it's not just me. It's for every Rider!" Gentaro said proudly
"Every Rider." Sougo chuckled as he heard that. 'I bet Sento Sensei will be pleased to hear that.' He thought.
"Hey, you're Zi-O right? The new Rider?" one member of the club asked as they ran over, Sougo noticing how the club was filled with all types of people
"O-Oh. Ehm. Y-Yes, I am." Sougo gasped in shock and coughed, trying to make his voice deeper to disguise himself more
"Your armours are freaking awesome! Best of honouring the Past Riders and being your own thing!" The club member answered.
"Hey, can I get an autograph?" one kid asked
"An...an autograph?" Sougo gulped as he heard that, he felt like a celebrity. "S-sure?" He stammered.
"How about a picture?" another student asked, this one holding a girl who was holding out their phone
"A picture? I-I don't-." Sougo got nervous as he was being put on 'the spot' more and more.
Gentaro laughed happily as his junior rider was swarmed by the Club, heading over to Takumi as he dehenshined
"U-Urgh..." Takumi groaned as he tried to get up, still in pain and slightly bleeding from earlier and still wounded from that triple kick
"You okay?"
"I'm...Fine." Takumi groaned as he tried to push himself up. "Why do you still care?"
"Because you're my student Takumi. That makes you my bud." Gentaro smirked and held his hand out
Takumi frowned and took his hand, still hurt from the fight. But that dopey grin on Gentaro's face made him slowly warm up to him and as he was pulled to his feet... Gentaro did his handshake with Takumi
"He does that." Kengo smiled.
"I hope the other Riders have had good luck with the evacuations." Nadeshiko hoped as she saw Sougo getting swarmed by people asking for pictures and autographs.
"Help!" He called out.
*time skip*
"Yeah!" one student yelled as they crossed the finishing line
It was the next day, the two school wide sports competition was back in full swing
"See, now this is what a Sports Day is all about." Gentaro smiled as he nudged Tsukasa jovially.
"Yeah yeah. Whatever." Tsukasa rolled his eyes
Geiz grumbled, annoyed to be in this uniform "Damn stupid exposure."
"Geiz? Can I talk to you?" Rise's voice asked kindly as she walked towards him after coming from one of the girls' events.
"Oh yeah, sure." he nodded and froze, blushing at seeing her in the uniform. 'Dang, why are girls so cue when wearing these things?' He thought to himself as they walked to a private area. "So, what did you want to talk to me about?" He asked, trying to play it off as being cool
"Well, I wanted to tell you about this dream I had last night." Rise began to answer
"Really? What was it?" Geiz questioned
"Well, I imagined you as a red-suited superhero." She admitted
"What?" he coughed
"It was after the explosions from yesterday. I guess I must've hit my head too hard or something." She answered as she crossed her arms, pouting softly
"Err, yeah. Right. Concussions." Geiz answered, trying to cover his arms from her since he still had his RideWatch bracers on. So he tried to hide his arms behind his back.
"I guess it was just a weird dream." Rise admitted. "But...It was a nice one, despite feeling in danger." She hugged herself as she blushed and smiled. "I'll be cheering for you when it's your race."
And with that, she left, leaving Geiz on his own...He honestly didn't know what to say.
Sougo was on the sidelines, watching as a girls relay race was about to start
He was going to cheer for Tsukuyomi as she was the middle runner, not quite the end, but she could be fast enough to give her team the edge.
"Hey!" a familiar voice called to Sougo, coming to his side
"Who-Rentaro?" he blinked
"Yeah; who else?" Rentaro asked as he sat down next to him.
"What're you doing here?" Sougo asked in confusion
"Well, it's not just me." Rentaro pointed to both Mondo and Rento, the other two Mirai-Riders, who were sitting down next to Rentaro's parents. "Mondo just came out of the hospital and we wanted to say hi." Rentaro explained
"Oh, okay. Glad to see him out of the hospital." Sougo answered. "Um...Sorry for kicking your butt earlier."
"Don't worry about it. I've actually got back on track with my life." Rentaro answered. "Back in the martial arts dojo; you know?"
"That's good." Sougo nodded. "...Do you go to their school?"
"Nah, a completely different school." Rentaro answered. "But, I do like seeing competitions."
"That's good." Sougo nodded
"Ah, Sougo. I've got some drinks." Junichiro spoke as he walked with some cups in his hands.
"Cool!"
"Hey, guys!" Tsukuyomi waved as she ran over
"Hey!" Sougo cheered as he saw her run with the relay baton in her hand.
"We won." she informed, holding the baton in both hands behind her back
"That's great! Congratulations!" Sougo smiled as he got up and hugged her. He laughed and picked her up, spinning them on the spot.
"S-Sougo!" She gasped as she was spun by him.
"Good grief. How strong have you gotten Sougo?" Junichiro gasped as he saw his nephew effortlessly lift up his girlfriend.
Even if the sight was adorable.
Zooming out of the area, we can see Swartz, death-glaring at the group, seeing how 'carefree' they all were. How close he was to creating the perfect creature to kill Sougo Tokiwa. "Damn you...Zi-O!" He hissed, gripping a new Another RideWatch...with the number '2018' and Zi-O's symbol on it.
