Shin reviews:
ChaosSonic1: Whoops, sorry. We got caught up in writing the battle.
Shooting Star Dragon 3000: Well yeah of course we'd have Woz back. And yes, Sougo and Tsuki are adorable together.*Chuckles evilly*
MKDemigodZ-Warrior: We actually have it planned out for ZO and J, we didn't want to cram too much in one Hyper Battle. Of course Amazons is gonna have a Hyper Battle of their own.
LegionnaireBlaze: I don't know, I can't remember.
technodude458: And probably not on Amazon Prime. *glares at Amazons*
Dragon Rider 66: Well, they do look for them, it's probably a sense of 'Oh crap, did I leave it in the kitchen or somewhere?' And when they couldn't find them they'd look later.
Bastion Lightz: They didn't have much info on Shin, the records of the Showa Riders in their future were damaged at best and completely gone at worst.
Chapter 24 Reviews:
Sakura Kudo: *Pats gently on back*
HackerEX: Thanks very much.
Zero Shadow-01: Yeah, it was satisfying to kill him off.
Cursed Rider: And the best part is, you can always re-read it!
Magic Detective: You sure you're not forgetting a RideWatch or two?
Shooting Star Dragon 3000: Yeah, sorry about the cliff-hanger. My bad.
Guest chapter 24, Jun 10: Oh you sweet summer child. *points down*
jmasta32: Cheers, but it's going to get harder now.
Bastion Lightz: Oh-ho-ho. We've got the Grand Zi-O RideWatch sorted out.
Speed Reader: Thanks very much.
KinoLangDanzel: We haven't gotten that far yet, Sougo's still learning his powers.
Gankutsuou117: Thanks for the feedback. And I'll be honest, Grey and I have been working on this story for a year so we can get it right.
To everyone: Sorry about last week, I forgot to mention the next Hyper Battle Special. Regular content for a while.
Here are some reviews from our own GreyKing46:
Chapter 24:
Gankutsuou117 : My problem with the RideWatches in the show, besides the fact they are so inconsistent, is the whole 'whip the Rider's history from existence'. I mean it isn't like the Time Jacker's where messing with the Rider Timeline beyond the Another Rider's or the movies.
technodude458: Not done yet.
KinoLangDanzel: Because he hasn't done the SaikyoJikanGlaide yet.
KRNexus: I don't get why they A; didn't give him that power in the show. Or B; add that after the show when there is no point of it.
DS Rider: Nope.
Jola: Unfortunately, because of the whole 'Kusaka coming back to life and raping Mari' aspect of the manga (seriously Inoue, what the hell?!) I personally don't want to 'touch' that novel.
AgUaScorch: You might have misinterpreted that. They said that at the end of Faiz, Takumi was supposed to die. But the history changing machine made it so Takumi survived and the other two on the hill (Mari and Keitaro) died in his place.
Speed Reader: Anything is better than the show's BS with 'we are friends Kusaka'.
Bastion Lightz: Yeah, really. The Grand Watch in cannon is kinda... lazy.
Shooting Star Dragon 3000: *mystery music intensifies*
Fallen call: Because his actor is brilliant.
KoutaMamba24: Yes. And the end of Faiz.
Shin:
Bastion Lightz: Well, Shin is even older than Decade and information about Rider's is hard to find with Oma Zi-O in charge. Especially with all the other 19 Riders before them.
Dragon Rider 66: They are, just off screen.
LegionnaireBlaze: Yes.
KDemigodZ-Warrior: Shin had his son at the end of the movie, that was the family he was talking about. ZO and J will be sharing a Hyper Battle. And as for the last...
BELIEVE IN AMAZON!
Shooting Star Dragon 3000: *cough cough* Lex Luthor: WRONG!
ChaosSonic1: The reason we didn't show the kid is because we didn't really have anything to work with.

It was a few days since Golden Week and the trio were spending their free time after school to craft more RideWatches. More specifically, using the Blue Quartz that they had collected. Obviously, Sougo and Geiz couldn't make a single scratch in it while using their tools, so it was left up to Tsuki to pick up the slack.
She was currently sat in Sougo's lap, who was holding her close as she worked.
"Are you sure you can manage this, Tsuki?" Sougo asked nervously since he was hugging Tsuki around the waist so that she didn't fall off his lap...and to prevent his knees from falling to sleep.
"I'm fine, Sougo. I can manage." She responded as she snuggled against him a bit.
"This is serious Tsuki." Geiz frowned. "The recent Another Rider's have been very powerful! We need a powerful weapon to stop them!"
"I-I know. And I know how important this is, Geiz." Tsuki mumbled.
"It's been a while, I know. But we've been doing the best we can." Sougo responded.
"You're not helping things, Sougo. If we're unprepared, one of us is going to get more than hurt!" Geiz snapped
"Geiz!" Sougo blinked and frowned "What the hell?"
"We're in a fight, that's what." Geiz answered. "Anothers Faiz. Kiva. Zi-O! That's what's happening."
"But we aren't AT WAR!" Sougo snapped
The two stood up, glaring at each other, though it caused Tsuki to tip forwards onto the table. "Ow!" She groaned as she was inadvertently lifted.
"Tsuki, I'm sorry." Sougo apologised, going to her.
"I'm going for a walk." Geiz sighed heavily and walked off, taking his RideWatch and a couple of others.
"What is wrong with him?" Sougo asked.
"I think he's just wound up. Everything's just getting too intense." Tsuki responded sadly as she held the Blue Quartz.
"You okay?"
"I think it's just...He's right but...you're right too." Tsuki answered.
"I know. But didn't you get hurt?" he asked in worry.
"I'm fine. It was just a tumble." Tsuki answered reassuringly. "I should get back to this."
"Right." He nodded.
*2068*
Woz was back in the library once again, trying to find in vain the Book of Oma Day. "It's not right. I can't find it." Woz frowned as he laid on a table exhausted before he heard the thumping of feet behind him.
"Woz." A deep voice spoke up, staring at him, seeing how 'pathetic' he looked.
"My Overlord!"
"Enjoying yourself? Found a new place to sleep?" Oma Zi-O asked as he looked at him.
"N-No. Of course not. I-I mean. I have been trying to find the record of your ascension." Woz answered.
"You're just trying to honour me." Oma Zi-O answered, flinching as he gently itched the healed mark of where Sougo struck him.
"Yes." Woz nodded.
"Well. I know what you can do now." Oma Zi-O answered. "All in order to sort this 'mess' out."
"What? What, My Overlord?" Woz asked, intrigued but also worried as he stood on his knees.
"Go with Swartz and his 'protégé', that young man Hiryu. They'll give you the answers you've been looking for." Oma Zi-O responded.
"What?!" Woz gasped.
"Are you disobeying me, Woz?" Oma Zi-O stared at him, his visor burning and smoking.
"No! Never!"
"Then go with them." Oma Zi-O's visor cooled down. "Learn from them."
"Yes My Overlord." He bowed.
*with Geiz, 2019*
Geiz was walking down the streets of the town, angry at Sougo and his naivety, the fact that these new enemies were getting stronger. All of this was getting too much.
It worried him.
He hadn't been worried in...in a good long while. Ever since he and Tsuki came back, even after all the fights they had. This power that their enemies had in their hands, it was terrifying.
What if he wasn't good enough?
Sougo had the potential powers of all the Riders, plus more should they arise...What did he have what was his? He felt left behind.
He was left in the dust.
Geiz looked down at his arm holsters, seeing the four RideWatches there.
Ghost, Wizard, Kiva and Faiz. With Hibiki and his own RideWatch in his pockets.
'Damn it all.' He frowned and stroked the rim of his RideWatch. 'What do I have to do?'
*back at the 9 5 Do*
Sougo was working on one of the Quartz's they had left, he didn't know how many Riders were left so...better safe than sorry. He soon sighed heavily as he leaned back, he couldn't think properly. 'I feel like I'm pushing everyone away.' he thought.
"Sougo? Is everything okay?" Junichiro asked as he came in with a small broken watch.
"I'm just...having trouble, Uncle." Sougo admitted, opening up to him.
"What's wrong?"
"I feel like I've pushed Woz and Geiz away." Sougo answered. "Tsuki and I have been getting closer which is good, but...What good is that if I lose my friends? I love Tsuki and I don't want her to think that I don't-"
"Sougo, it's okay. Take a breath." Junichiro stopped him and to calm him down. "I am sure your relationship with Tsuki isn't affecting your friendships either."
"That's not...Not entirely what I'm worried about." Sougo admitted.
"Sougo, you can't get yourself worked up about this; you'll be in the hospital again." Junichiro responded. "And between your job and my age, neither one of us wants that." He joked.
Sougo blinked and snorted gently, stifling laughter. "I know. But... Uncle, do you think I've changed?" Sougo looked down right now, scared that he was pushing everyone away somehow. Being aggressive and mean and controlling.
"Honesty my boy? Yes." Junichiro smiled.
"Oh..."
"For the better."
"Really? But I-." Sougo asked.
"Sougo, you're a fine young man. You're a good person." Junichiro answered. "And you've become an even better one recently. With determination and skill. With a new love for life and even a dream."
"I...I guess I have. I've just been living for other people." Sougo responded, getting some clarity on his life before becoming a Kamen Rider. He looked at his hand and smiled lightly.
"Go and talk to Geiz. Things will get better." Junichiro answered.
"Yeah, I should." Sougo responded, putting the RideWatch down. "Thank you, Uncle."
*with Geiz*
BOOM!
"ARGH!" Geiz screamed, flying away as he crashed into the pavement. "D-Damn it."
He looked up and saw Swartz, Hiryu... And two Another Riders.
"How're you doing down there, slug?" Hiryu smirked as he was in the middle of Another Build and Another OOO. Two Another Riders that he and Sougo had defeated before, but somehow they were back!
"Sh-shut up." Geiz grunted as he tried to step up, grabbing a RideWatch to give himself an armour boost.
ARMOUR TIME! KAIGAN! GHOST~!
"Awe~; isn't that cute? But it's the wrong one for it to work." Hiryu jeered.
"Shut up, Hiryu!" Geiz snarled as he threw a punch into Another Build, while Another OOO slashed at him with his warped tiger claws. "ARGH!"
Swartz just smirked as he saw Geiz ploughed into the ground, seeing this annoying Resistance member who's been fighting them for years and this recent Kamen Rider who has been halting their plans. He loved seeing his way.
However Geiz was standing strong, he refused to give up!
'Damn it, I shouldn't have done this alone!' Geiz thought as he was punching back with as much strength he could muster.
VROOM!
KUUGA! FULL-SPEED BREAK!
Suddenly Sougo came rushing by on his bike and crashed into Another Build, throwing it back as the Kuuga mark shined on its body...
BOOM!
And it exploded in the air.
"Geiz! You okay?" Sougo asked, kicking Another OOO away.
"You're. Here?" Geiz asked as he saw his friend.
"Yeah. I'm here." Sougo nodded and helped him up.
"Sougo. You're here?" Hiryu glared as he saw the two together.
"Yeah and so are you." Sougo responded.
"You can't beat me." Hiryu commented.
Sougo passed over the OOO RideWatch to Geiz as he held the Build one in his hand. "We have these that say otherwise."
BUILD!
OOO!
FINISH TIME!
The two Riders gripped their weapons, standing back to back.
"Get them. Now." Hiryu ordered the two Another Riders.
The two Another Riders looked at Hiryu, who just glared darkly at them...which made them turn to both Sougo and Geiz. Both Riders nodded and slashed at the two Another Riders.
BUILD! GIRI GIRI SLASH!
OOO! ZAKKURI CUTTING!
The two Another Riders screamed as they exploded, shattering their Another RideWatches into pieces and their own bodies.
The two stood tall, their visors almost flashing in victory at the explosions behind them.
"Nice moves Geiz." Zi-O, in his Ryuki armour, smiled.
"You still swing too heavy from the hips." Geiz Ghost Armour criticised.
"I'll work on that later." Sougo responded.
Clap.
Clap.
Clap.
"Very good. You killed two people." Hiryu responded, trying to throw them off.
"People?" Sougo asked, looking around in worry, before not seeing any.
"There were no people in there, Hiryu." Geiz pointed. "Those were Avatars."
"You are correct. Using shards of the destroyed Another Watches we can make weaker copies." Swartz nodded "Which cannot seal the real Riders' powers, and are not immune to other Riders. Useful tools but only on a small scale."
"Shards?" Sougo asked, looking at his left wrist, thinking about the shards in his own watch. Not his RideWatches, but the watch that his Uncle fixed, infused with Quartz Shards.
"Don't tell him everything, Swartz. God." Hiryu groaned and rolled his eyes. "Doesn't matter, I'm still gonna kick your asses."
"With what?" Geiz asked, before he and Sougo's eyes widened under their helmets in shock.
"I don't know; why don't you tell them, Woz?" Swartz instructed.
"What?!"
Coming from behind Swartz, clutching his book and looking slightly ashamed but still...proud? Was that the right word?
"Woz! What're you doing with them?" Sougo asked.
"My Overlord commands me." He bowed.
"What? You mean-? HIM?!" Geiz pointed at Hiryu.
"See? I told you I was a King!" Hiryu proclaimed.
"My Overlord, Oma Zi-O, has ordered me to fight alongside these two." Woz corrected.
"Semantics. You work for me!" Hiryu snapped.
"Now, go fight." Swartz glared at Woz.
Woz frowned and attached his belt, glaring at Swartz.
BEYONDRIVER
WOZ!
ACTION!
"Henshin." Woz stared simply.
TOUEI! FUTURE TIME!
SUGOI! JIDAI! MIRAI!
KAMEN RIDER WOZ! WOZ!
Sougo and Geiz frowned, grabbing their weapons in frustration. "Still two on one, Woz. You can't win."
"Oh, he's not on his own." Hiryu smiled darkly as he showed...Kivat Bat the 2nd.
"There he is!" Sougo gasped in horror.
"What did you do to him?" Geiz hissed.
The bat in question looked like he was covered in static.
"Wouldn't you like to know?" Hiryu responded, not really giving a straight answer and had Kivat 2nd bite him.
GABU!
"No!" Sougo frowned.
"Ah!" Hiryu yelled in pain as his legs buckled a bit.
"The hell's with him?" Geiz asked.
"Henshin!" Hiryu proclaimed and summoned the power from within the Kivat Bat.
He attached it to his belt and slammed it down, his body quickly being covered in green liquid metal before it exploded off and revealed the form of Dark Kiva. The armour was blood-red bat-winged designed, black bodysuit and gloves, batwing-style eyes and had the Kivat Second hanging from his belt. "HRARGH! THIS! IS POWER!" He laughed happily.
"Oh... Crap."
"Okay, Tokiwa...let's 'play'!" He laughed and ran at them.
"Oh no!" he gulped.
KABUTO!
Sougo switched his Ryuki RideWatch with Kabuto, hoping that the speed can give him the advantage as he jumped back and dodged the strikes of Dark Kiva.
"Sougo!" Geiz called out in shock, only to be slashed at by Woz with his Despear.
"Attention on me, Geiz." Woz taunted.
"I should have KNOWN you'd betray us, Woz!" Geiz hissed.
HIBIKI!
Woz didn't want to respond, only for his Despear and Geiz's Zikan Zax to collide and spark as the two fought back.
ARMOUR TIME! CHANGE: BEETLE! KABUTO~!
ARMOUR TIME! HI~BIKI~!
The four Riders clashed at each other, Sougo versus Hiryu. Woz Vs Geiz. Two rivals getting against each other. Four people who seemed to hate the other. Hiryu hated Sougo for pretty much everything wrong with his life. Woz and Geiz had their history of being in the Resistance, before the former's defection.
'I knew you'd turn on us! Even after everything you've done to build up Sougo!' Geiz thought in rage, striking at Woz, aiming to kill. This was the second time he had betrayed them.
He summoned energy drums as shields, blocking Woz's attacks as he struck with his axe.
Woz continued to attack, though his Despear was getting blocked by the drum-shields. 'I cannot hit him. Even after all fo this...I don't want this, Geiz.' Woz thought to himself.
FINISH TIME!
"Wait..."
"TAKE THIS!" Geiz roared.
KIVA! ZAKKURI CUTTING!
BOOM!
Sougo covered himself just in time as Geiz slashed into Dark Kiva. "Damn, Geiz! What the heck?"
"Sorry." He responded hoping that slash did...something.
FLUTTER!
"Oh. I'm sorry. Was that meant to do something?" Hiryu flew his cape open and laughed.
"Oh come on!" Sougo groaned before he flinched, dodging Woz's sudden attacks.
"I-I'm sorry." Woz apologised as he slashed at Sougo...albeit, with an inch or so not hitting him.
"What? You thought that using Kiva's power would hurt me? I'm not your average Another Rider! I'm one who bears the mark of a KING!" Hiryu smirked and shot out bats from his hands, colliding onto Geiz. "I am Kamen Rider Dark Kiva! YOU ARE NOTHING TO ME!"
"Gah!" Geiz yelled as he was thrown back.
"Now. To end you both." Hiryu snarled as he pulled one of the fuistles from his belt, slipping it into Kivat 2nd's mouth and tapping his jaw
"Wake... Up... II..." The bat whistled strangely, strange green energy surrounding his fist.
"We... Need to get out of here." Geiz hissed as he switched watches.
WIZARD
ARMOUR TIME! PLEASE~! WIZ~ARD!
Equipped with Wizard Armour, Geiz threw his hand out. A glowing red magic portal flew through the air and enveloped Sougo, teleporting him away.
"NO!" Hiryu roared as he rushed forwards, aiming to punch Geiz.
Geiz reacted quickly as he jumped back then summoned another portal, vanishing as well.
"NO!" Hiryu snapped, destroying half a building with his punch.
Woz panicked as he saw how strong Dark Kiva was...and how much destruction it possessed. This was madness.
It reminded him of Oma Zi-O's raw power.
"I had him! I had both of them!" Hiryu snarled and punched a building, causing a portion of it to break off. "DAMN IT!"
*at the 9 5 Do*
Geiz and Sougo landed hard on the outside of their home, transforming out of their Rider forms and grunted in pain. They had never felt an enemy like that before...and for Geiz it was only the second-worst. But Hiryu...Hiryu was something else.
"Darn it. What do we do?" Sougo asked.
"I. Don't know." Geiz admitted as he slowly got up. "That power is insane and...I don't know what we have that can stop it."
"... I don't even think Zi-O II could beat that thing." Sougo admitted.
"Is that a joke?" Geiz asked with a shocked face. "That was a joke right? Tell me you're joking." Sougo didn't respond, only looking at him with a worried face.
"... I don't think I'm strong enough." Sougo whispered.
"'Not strong'-?" Geiz whispered, repeating in shock from what Sougo just said.
Tsuki rushed out as soon as she could. "Sougo? Geiz? What happened?" She helped them up.
"Hiryu. He-he's..." Sougo tried to answer, but he couldn't. Unable to think of anything.
"Woz betrayed us. I KNEW he would!" Geiz snapped. "That fucking traitor!"
"What?!" Tsuki gasped. "And Hiryu? What about Hiryu?"
"He has become Dark Kiva." Geiz frowned.
"Dark Kiva?!" Tsuki gasped "That's where Kivat the 2nd went?! Oh my, this is not good! What are we going to do?!"
"We need that blue quartz finished!" Geiz said seriously, gripping his RideWatch tightly.
"I'm working as fast as I can, Geiz. But considering this has got to be one of the biggest RideWatches we've worked on, it's taking me time. I'm sorry I can't work faster." Tsuki apologised.
"Sougo thinks he can't even beat Dark Kiva with Zi-O II." Geiz followed up, seeing the silent friend not reacting even as Tsuki and Geiz talked to each other. "This could be our only chance!"
"But if you're wrong-!" Tsuki responded as she tried to dissuade him.
"If I'm wrong, Hiryu's going to be another Oma Zi-O!" Geiz answered. He gripped his RideWatch, shaking "I... We can't let anyone go through a monster like that again." He said passionately.
"Geiz...I'm sorry." Sougo apologised as he was just standing there in Tsuki's arms. "But what can I do?"
"We have to fight as hard as we can." Geiz nodded "Until Tsuki is finished."
"...I guess. But remember what Wataru and Kivat the Third said? How this form is stronger than them." Sougo responded.
"Right now, all you can do is try and give me time." Tsuki answered.
"Yeah." Sougo nodded and pulled out his phone, debating for a second, before putting it back into his pocket.
"We'll have to go back in there." Geiz answered. "Using all we have."
"No! You need to rest!" Junchiro ordered suddenly.
"Mr Tokiwa/Uncle!" The two turned to him.
"If you two go out there now you'll be hurt or killed." Junichiro answered. "You're both already badly hurt. You need to rest, at least for a while! Going into a hard battle already hurt is suicide!"
"But if we don't-" Geiz showed his angry side, trying to be a leader in a stressful situation.
"If you die here, there'll be no-one to stop...who or whatever is attacking the city!" Junichiro answered seriously.
"You are right..." Sougo nodded, his arms shaking "But... If we stay here... There is no one to protect the innocents!"
"Sougo. I'm. I'm sorry." Junichiro dropped his head after he heard his nephew say that.
"I know you care. I know you don't want us to get hurt." Sougo answered, understanding why his uncle was concerned. "But you said it yourself 'there'll be no-one left to stop whoever's attacking the city'."
BOOM!
"And we need to stop Hiryu." he said simply. He pulled out all of the RideWatches they had gathered until now and gripped his hands tightly "Please everyone... Help us." he muttered
'Hiryu?' Junichiro thought in shock, hearing it was him...and he had escaped from prison.
Tsuki looked at the two, hugging Geiz quickly before giving Sougo a kiss.
The two nodded and looked at each other.
"Henshin!"
*With Hiryu*
Hiryu was standing there, now bored as he randomly blasted the surroundings.
Even the screams of people running in fear becoming boring to him. "Hiryu, shouldn't we be doing more than just blowing up buildings?" Swartz asked.
"Like what?"
"Taking what's yours?" Swartz suggested. "This power you have is enough to tear down buildings with a single blast. Why not take more?"
Woz was silent, seeing the comparison between Hiryu and Oma Zi-O. It was just...blatant. However he got the comparisons. He was seeing Hiryu as a monster, while his Overlord was still the greatest in the world in his eyes.
To see that this fool was 'copying' his Overlord's moves, it felt a little insulting.
However he obeyed his Overlord's orders. He had to listen to this cretin.
"More? You mean, even more power?" Hiryu asked.
"Of course." Swartz answered. "You think Dark Kiva will be enough?"
"Of course! Have you felt this?! It is amazing!"
"Alright, if that's what you think." Swartz waved off and raised his hands in defence.
The wind blew, Zi-O and Geiz approaching them.
"Hiryu!" Sougo called out as they approached, already in their armoured forms for a slim advantage.
ARMOUR TIME! LEVEL UP! EX-AID~
ARMOUR TIME! WAKE UP! KIVA~
"We are going to stop you." Geiz added.
"Tch. Get them." Hiryu ordered, summoning Ninjackers and Quizjackers.
The two lots of enemies rushed at the duo, making them clash and punch each other, Sougo in his Ex-Aid form fighting the NinJackers and Geiz against the QuizJackers, Hiryu slowly turned around and looked upon them like pawns on a chessboard.
"Oraoraora!" Sougo called as he rapidly punched with the hammer hands of his armour, getting large 'Hit's with every blow. The NinJackers were flown back, getting pummelled by Sougo's hits and into each other from Sougo's force.
Geiz's kicks and punches caused red outlines as he attacked the QuizJackers before they gave any questions to stop him mid-attack.
FINISH TIME! KIVA! WAKE UP TIME BURST!
"Ha!" Geiz yelled as he jumped into the air, performing a drop-kick as the chains on his leg burst open.
The QuizJackers screamed and exploded into shards, destroyed by Geiz's Kiva Kick and cleared out the board to get closer to Hiryu-Dark Kiva.
Sougo gave a series of rough punches, sending the other foot-soldiers flying back.
'They just seem to keep coming!' Sougo thought as he was getting tired, but he couldn't let up now.
FINISH TIME! EX-AID! CRITICAL TIME BREAK!
Sougo's fists glowed and attacked, destroying the NinJackers and helped clear the field with Geiz's help.
"Well. Looks like you've had fun." Hiryu joked as he looked at the two.
"Hiryu!" Geiz glared at him.
"Woz." Sougo frowned as he saw his friend as he pulled out the Zi-O II RideWatch.
Woz frowned as he saw the RideWatch in Sougo's hand seeing it split apart as Hiryu gave him a deathly glare.
ZI-O!
KIKAI!
ACTION! TOUEI!
"Henshin!" Both Sougo and Woz proclaimed as their respective Drivers activated and let them transform, while Geiz kept his gaze on Hiryu.
RIDER TIME!
FUTURE TIME!
KAMEN RIDER~! (RIDER~!) ZI-O! (ZI-O!) ZI-O~! II!
DEKAI! HAKAI! GOUKAI! FUTURERING KIKAI! KIKAI!
Geiz breathed heavily and ran at Hiryu, holding his Zikan Zax aiming to slash.
Sougo saw Woz holding his Despear and jabbed towards him. Sougo managed to dodge the spear and parried it away.
ARMOUR TIME! COMPLETE! FAIZ!
Geiz was in Faiz Armour as he rushed forwards and attacked.
CLASH!
CLANG!
WHOOSH!
Dark Kiva raised his arm and felt the slash of the axe on his armour, only for it to be pivoted away; Woz thrust his spear at Sougo only for his Foresight to dodge the attack, trying not to fight back but also trying not to get hit.
"Such a weak Rider." Hiryu jeered at Hiryu, smacking him away which just annoyed and angered Geiz.
"I can see it." Sougo frowned, dodging and swinging Woz's blow.
"I'm sorry. I don't want to do this, but my Overlord demands it." Woz apologised.
"Don't apologise! Strike him!" Hiryu snapped at his servant and kicked Geiz.
Geiz grunted in pain, being flung back over a metre away with a boot imprint on his chest. "What?" he blinked, seeing the literal indent on his suit.
"Good to see I can leave a mark on the world." Hiryu commented.
'You actually said that?' Sougo groaned as he heard that, being struck by Woz in the shoulder.
Woz whimpered as he didn't want to do this, but he was forced to. Having the first strike on Sougo's armour. He shook his head, casting his doubt aside. This was his Overlord's demand. He would do this without hesitation.
Sougo grunted and kicked Woz away, holding his shoulder and shook it off. "Damn it, Woz. Stop this!"
"No. As My Overlord demands!" Woz called as he opened and closed his belt.
BEYOND THE TIME!
FULL METAL BREAK!
From Woz's shoulders, two wrench lines shot out and wrapped around Sougo and kept him in place.
"Grr! Woz!" Sougo grunted as he tried to get out, he saw how he could've avoided it...but his friendship with the Chronicler was clouding his judgement and was caught in something he could have avoided.
BAKURETSU DELANCE!
Sougo was dragged forwards, his feet not slowing down at all, even though he dug them into the earth to not get pierced by a two-foot-long lance-tip.
"Sougo!" Geiz called out in worry, having switched to the Crossbow mode of his axe.
"Kill him, Woz!" Hiryu ordered.
Woz's eyes widened as he raised the weapon, his arms shaking.
'Losing my grip!' Sougo thought, shaking himself before he felt the energy of the DeSpear almost pierce through his armour. "G-GCH-ARGH! However, the impact never happened, as Geiz's weapon blasted the green rider away.
"Damn it!" Hiryu glared and smacked Geiz at Sougo.
"Gah!" Geiz yelled as he rolled across the ground, his armour sparking.
FINISH TIME! FAIZ!
The FaizPointerPointer appeared on Geiz's leg, shooting an energy beam at Kamen Rider Dark Kiva. The energy beam hit Hiryu's chest, the beam quickly expanding into a cone. Geiz pulled himself to his feet, spinning his belt as he rushed forwards.
"AAAAAHHHHHHH!" Geiz yelled as he rushed forwards and jumped, kicking at Hiryu.
EXCEED TIME BURST!
Geiz hit the energy cone, being absorbed by the energy cone. He then reappeared behind the stronger rider, landing in a slight crouch as finished the attack.
KIVA!
FINISH TIME! KIVA GIWA GIWA SHOOTING!
Geiz quickly span around and pulled the hammer back, releasing it. A large yellow energy bat arrow shot through the air, piercing the Rider from the back.
"Gah!" Hiryu yelped in pain, stumbling forwards.
Sougo stood up, gripping both of his swords.
The twin blades came down at Hiryu, slashing at their shared enemy, only for Hiryu to grunt holding the blades in both hands. "I. Won't. Fall. To you!" Hiryu grunted as he tried to push back, the two of them like titans fighting against each other.
He threw his arms up, before slamming his foot against Sougo's gut.
Sougo grunted as his armour cracked, his swords being thrown out of his hands.
"Wake... Up... One..." Kivat the 2nd mumbled weakly as Hiryu's hand was encased in energy.
"Ha!" he roared and punched Sougo in the face as hard as he could.
"Ah..." Sougo groaned as he was sent flying, his helmet shattering. He landed to the ground, rolling for a few meters as his Henshin faded.
"Zi-O!" Geiz yelled as he rushed forwards, trying to attack Hiryu once more.
OH! NO!
FINISH TIME! WIZARD! ZAKURI CUTTING!
Geiz tried to slash Hiryu in the back, to push him back, but instead Hiryu just backhanded the flaming axe away.
"Fool." Dark Kiva hissed as he grabbed Geiz by the throat.
"Gack!" Geiz coughed out his airways where suddenly blocked... Before Hiryu slammed him into the ground "GAHHH!" he yelled in pain, his body going limp as his Faiz Armour faded away and left him in his base form. All of his Armour RideWatches clattered away, out of his reach.
"Now. No more hiding, Tokiwa. No more waiting." Hiryu said as he started to laugh like a mad man. Sougo panted as he looked down the barrel of the gun. Was this how it ended? Died by the person who's been his bully for most of his life. 'Uncle. Tsuki. Geiz... I'm sorry.' And kept his eyes open. "You DIE!" Hiryu proclaimed and threw a punch at Sougo.
Time slowed to a crawl. Woz subject to watching this on orders of Swartz and Oma Zi-O. He looked away, as quickly as he could to not see what was going to happen. To see the person he hoped to see ascend into a King, was about to be cut down.
Sougo could see his life flashing before his eyes, the first time he met his uncle as a young boy, his first 'A' on a history test...the first day he turned into Zi-O. How scared he was, how nervous he felt about becoming the 'Demon King of Time'; meeting Tsuki and Geiz. How his whole life changed... 'When it's all said and done. I wouldn't have changed a thing.' He thought bravely before his eyes widened as he saw a flash of red in front of his eyes. Red, silver and black.
CRACK!
BOOOOOOOOM!
"W... What?" Sougo blinked weakly as he slowly opened his eyes, realising he wasn't injured. He blinked, looking around... And gasped.
Geiz stood there in a T pose, standing there with his back arched in clear agony as he stood there facing Sougo. He was barely standing, a pair of green energy blades piercing his body from behind.
Sougo looked up, seeing Geiz crumble to the floor and saw his Rider form disappear, showing two holes in his parachute clothes and holes in his body from where the blades pierced him.
THUD!
Thud!
Thud.
"Got in my way." Hiryu glared in anger, spitting down at Geiz.
"No. No, no, no! No, G-Geiz. Geiz, you can't-! GEIZ!" Sougo panicked as he cradled his body, trying to close the holes. "GEIZ!"
"This time, I'll-!" Hiryu snarled before he felt an intense pain coming from Kivat Bat the Second and his armour. "Th-this pain!"
"We should go." Swartz commented, holding Hiryu's arm. The two left, Woz following.
"Geiz! Geiz!" Sougo yelled, shaking his friend "Come... Come on man! Stay with me! Stay with me!'
"Sougo... I'm sorry." Geiz mumbled weakly
"No. Don't speak. I'll call the hospital." Sougo tried to call with his phone, only to be held by Geiz's weak hand.
Geiz just smiled as best as he could, looking up at Sougo's crying eyes...before slowly closing them, dropping his hand onto the floor as his RideWatch dropped from his waist.
Sougo whimpered and hugged Geiz's body, crying as he had lost his Rider partner...and his first friend.
"GEEEEEEEEEEEEEEIIIIIIIIIIZZZZZZZZ!" Sougo yelled out as tears fell from his eyes
