Well, this is it guys. The last chapter of Tokyo Amazon. Short I know. I wonder why it was only ever twenty four episodes… Oh well. Once we get done with this, I'll have a final announcement. Disclaimer: I don't own Kamen Rider, Tokyo Ghoul, or any other referenced media.

*We start with a close-up of Ken Kaneki's face as he eyes dart back and forth*

A-MA-ZON!

*With that declaration, we get our opening music and the series title*

Tokyo Amazon

Question the wide, open skies! Ask them who am I?

*Ken is seen leaping and swinging through a Japanese forest.*

Amazon Rider! That is who I am!

*He lands near Touka and two new heroes, Nishiki Nishio and Hideyoshi Nagachika, as they pose like beasts.*

Fight against me if you would prefer, envoys of evil

*Ken's GiGi Armlet is seen, as well Touka's Amazon Driver, with Nishiki and Hideyoshi having Amazon Driver's of their own.*

Did you see? The Jungler that I'm riding on

*Kurojusha of the Garanda Empire appeared and surround the group.*

Fangs laid bare in the light, a tooth for a tooth

*Ken takes a predatory stance, his mouth open as if bearing fangs.*

Fearsome claws growl and roar, an eye for an eye

*The four Riders quickly attack and deal with the Kurojusha.*

For justice, I'll be a ghoul, a noble demon

*They transform into their Rider forms, Nishiki a bright red suit with silver chest called Kamen Rider Alpha, and Hideyoshi and pure silver form called Kamen Rider Sigma.*

Amazon Rider, he is finally here

*The four Riders race off, Amazon on his Jungler while the others have their Junglaiders, before they are seen making one final pose with Amazon in the center, Omega on his back, Alpha to his right, and Sigma to his left.*


Chapter 24: The Tokyo Riders

"Condorer!" Ken and his pack used their grapple ropes to avoid the spike pit mere inches from impalement. Meanwhile, Emperor Zero contacted the science lab. 'Hit the switch to the helium bomb.' A timer was attached to the bomb. "One hour, system complete! Clock is set!" 'Good,' Emperor Zero replied, 'Zero Hour is one o'clock in the afternoon.' The Kurojusha nodded. "Copy that. In this control room, once the button is pressed, the helium bomb will explode at Tokyo. We will have the bomb carried to the designated location.'

They carefully placed the bomb inside a black box for transport. Meanwhile the Riders were climbing out of the pit. They then continued to move through the halls, dodging more traps that sprang out just in front of them. Suddenly, the hallway sealed off both in front and behind. "They just won't let us through," Hideyoshi noted. Gas started to get pumped into the room. With seemingly no way out, the Riders wound up collapsing on the ground.


Outside, Tobei and the siblings were getting worried, having heard nothing from the Kamen Riders since they left for the safe house. "Nothing for it," Tobei said, "I'm gonna go and look for them!" "I'm going too!," Ritsuko decided. "Me too!," Masahiko added. Tobei nodded. "Alright, but you have to promise me that you won't go anywhere dangerous." The siblings nodded and they headed off.


While on the ground, Ken noticed a switch in the ceiling. He got up and hit it. It caused a nearby wall to swivel, giving the group a way out. The only light inside the new room was a bright red glow. "So you've come this far, Amazon," came Emperor Zero's voice, "You've certainly earned my respect." The lights turned on, revealing Emperor Zero with an entire troop of Kurojusha. "I am the king of the Garanda Empire. Great Emperor Zero! Many of my cute beastmen were killed by you!"

"The only cute beastman is Moley," Touka quipped. Emperor Zero's eye twitched. "Those who defy the Garanda Empire will receive the death penalty! Capture them!" The Kurojusha attacked, only to get defeated one by one by the Rider Pack. "We vote for a stay of execution," Ken quipped, "Henshin!" "A-MA-ZON!" "Henshin!" "Amazon!" Now transformed, the Kamen Riders started taking out the Kurojusha quickly. They then confronted Emperor Zero. "You threw away you ambition," Amazon said, "You have one chance to leave this country!"

Emperor Zero just laughed. "You're assuming that I've been trying to kill you? How about I get serious and show you my power!" He fired off his lance, the force of it reverting Amazon's transformation. Emperor Zero laughed, until the other three Riders leapt at him. They kept him busy as Ken transformed once more. Emperor Zero tried to fire again, only for Omega to knock the lance toward the ceiling. "I'm guessing that lance does something to interrupt the GiGi Armlet," she said, "Unfortunately for you, it doesn't work on our Amazon Drivers. They're purely mechanical."

Emperor Zero scoffed, then bashed each of them right in the stomach, blasting Amazon again. "Tie them all up!" The Riders were bound in chains. "Before the helium bomb explodes," Emperor Zero said, "I will have you all executed." "At least tell us where the helium bomb is," Ken said, "And when it's going to explode." "Very well," Emperor Zero replied, "It will explode today at one o'clock in the afternoon. Once the button in the control room here is pressed, the explosion will occur below the Shinjikunishiguchi Paien Building." "Detonate it there and even you won't be safe," Hideyoshi pointed out.

"Oh, no need to worry about that," Emperor Zero said, "This base is one million meters underground! Now even the helium bomb's radiation will reach here!" He then disappeared. The car was already driving into place, unloading the helium bomb. A spy let them into the maintenance room to have the bomb planted. "It will go off in one hour. Let's go!" The Riders were now chained against the wall. "We need to do something before 1pm hits," Nishiki said. "Yeah," Ken agreed, "There's not much time."


Outside, Tobei and the siblings found the trail of blood from Salamander Beastman. "The Riders were following this trail," Tobei realized, "I can do the same to find the safe house. You two go and hide here!" The siblings hid in the brush as Tobei hid from a nearby car that was coming in. It was the car that had dropped off the helium bomb, now returning to hit the switch from the safety of the underground. They didn't notice Tobei as he knocked out the guy in the back and took his place.

He followed the Kurojusha as they disabled all the traps that had been activated. Once inside the main chamber, Tobei spotted the Riders chained up. The lead Kurojusha stepped forward. "Our report. The helium bomb ha been set." Emperor Zero nodded. "Excellent! There are thirty minutes before detonation. And now it's time for the execution of the Kamen Riders who have dared to defy us. But first… I will have the GiGi Armlet. Bring the GaGa Armlet!"

A Kurojusha exited briefly and then came back with the armlet in question. Emperor Zero picked the armlet up. "Now we have both armlets in our grasp. By combining this GaGa Armlet with the GiGi Armlet, one will be able to obtain a tremendous amount of energy! Won't that be fun?" Ken got a sudden inspiration. "There's no way I'll let you have the GiGi Armlet!" He breathed. "A-MA-ZON!" Emperor Zero cackled. "It's useless!" He approached to take the armlet, only for both of them to glow, shocking him. "This is…"

"I wasn't trying to transform!," Ken clarified, "I was trying to call upon the GaGa Armlet to unite with my GiGi Armlet! And you just brought it close enough to answer!" The GaGa Armlet flew out of Emperor Zero's hand and linked with the GiGi Armlet. Power flowed through Ken and the Rider Pack, allowing them to break their chains and free themselves. Ken nodded. "Let's see you stop us now that we have both armlets! Henshin!" "A-MA-ZON!" Touka, Nishiki, and Hideyoshi activated their Amazon Drivers. "Henshin!" "Amazon!"

Emperor Zero was blasted back by the explosions, recovering to see the Kamen Riders standing before him. "You now face the fury of Amazon! Kamen Rider Amazon!" "I have become Amazon's mate! I am Kamen Rider Omega!" "Heated by the jungle's power! Kamen Rider Alpha!" "Cooled by the jungle's wisdom! Kamen Rider Sigma!" "You bastards!," Emperor Zero called out, "Capture them!" He launched the power of his lance, but it no longer worked. Emperor Zero stared in disbelief. "But how? This beam can negate the power of the GiGi Armlet!"

"But not the GaGa Armlet," Amazon pointed out, "With both armlets to sustain my transformation, your power is useless. With the energy flowing through me I can no longer be hurt, and that extends to my entire pack!" Tobei unmasked himself and ran over. "This is amazing! I always hoped both armlets would wind up in the hands of good!" A sudden rumbling occurred, Moley bursting through the wall. "I don't know what happened… But I'm feeling mega charged right now!"

"Oh, that's right," Omega realized, "Moley is officially part of our pack. And since Amazon is sharing the power of the two armlet with us…" "Then it's affecting him too," Sigma finished. "Tobei, Moley," Amazon aid, "We'll go cut the detonation switch! Go and take apart the bomb's trigger!" Moley smashed a Kurojusha into the wall. "Leave it to us! With this energy, I feel like I could take on Gorgos himself!" "The bomb is under the Shinjikunishiguchi Paien Building!," Alpha said, "You have one hour!"

Tobei grabbed onto Moley's back as he started digging through the ground at incredible speed. They got to the surface in seconds and retrieved the siblings as they hurried off in the Kurojusha's car. Down below, the Rider Pack was tearing apart the Kurojusha easily. They then faced off with Emperor Zero. No longer the fearsome foe he once was, he could now only barely fight back as the Riders battled him, disarming him and punching right through his Incan armor. He quickly slipped out a nearby door, Amazon in pursuit.

Inside the halls, Emperor Zero pulled out a sword to battle Amazon. After dodging a few swipes, Amazon was able to grab Emperor's Zero sword and and knock the sword out of his hand. "Great Slice!" Emperor Zero screamed in pain as his arm came off. He quickly retreated through the halls as the pack rushed in to help their pack leader. To their surprise, Emperor Zero dropped through the same pit trap they avoided and wound up impaled on the spikes below before dying.

"Shot in the dark," Alpha said, "Emperor Zero wasn't the real leader of Garanda." The hurried into the science lab with only five minutes to go. As they took out the Kurojusha inside, Tobei had reached the building where the bomb was. Unfortunately, the trigger didn't seem to want to break. Moley solved the problem by carefully prying the timer off of the lid, letting Tobei get to the inner workings. At the same time, Amazon smashed the computer with the detonation switch, disarming it. They had made it with half a minute to go.

A sudden laughing echoed through the safe house, as a figure in a white robe entered. "Kamen Rider Amazon! Omega! Alpha! Sigma! How dare you get in the way! I am the omnipotence ruler. My presence prevents the Garanda Empire from falling." He floated over to a nearby throne, Amazon racing over to pull off the cloak. He was shocked to see Emperor Zero beneath it. "I thought as much," Alpha said, "That other Emperor Zero was just a body double."

Emperor Zero laughed. "Great Emperor Zero is immortal! I, as the ruler, controlled both Garanda and Geddon!" "And let me guess," Amazon said, "It was Great Leader, the enemy of all Kamen Riders, who gave you all that power." "Perceptive," Emperor Zero replied, "But now that he has vanished, I intend to rule over all evil groups, as the king of the Garanda Empire! Now die, Riders!" He laughed as he launched blades at the Riders, trying to impale them.

However, Sigma grabbed one and impaled Emperor Zero with it. Omega then used her arm blade and chopped off Emperor Zero's arm. He pulled out the spear and tried to impale them, only to have Alpha grab it and chop off his other arm. "Not so immortal anymore, are you!?," Amazon called out, "Super… Great Slice!" With a mighty chop, Emperor Zero's head was separated from his body, killing him once and for all. The Riders yelled in triumph, having finally defeated their greatest foe.

However, they had to vacate quickly as the safe house started exploding. Luckily they were able to make it out in time.

*Unravel from Tokyo Ghoul starts playing, lyrics by Jonathan Young*

Oh, can you tell me, can you tell me the way the story ends

The Riders looked out over what was left of the Garanda Empire's safe house.

A monster in my heart, a ghost inside my chest

The pack looked at each other, a wave of relieve washing over them.

I'm broken down, the world around us surrounds my suffering

They group in and hugged it out, laughing at their final victory.

You smile and laugh at me, but you don't see a thing

Amazon raised a fist to the sky. "Rider… Banzai!" The pack returned to the city, being greeted by Tobei, Moley, Ritsuko, and Masahiko, all of them rejoicing at the final victory over the Garanda Empire. However, Ken decided it would be best for him and pack to return to the Amazon. Touka had agreed to join him, along with Nishiki, Hideyoshi, and Moley.

Damaged and broken as I am, I'm trying not to breathe

"We're really going to miss you," Masahiko said to Ken.

Unraveled I'm, not unraveled by the truth I finally see (freeze)

Ken smiled. "We'll always come back is Japan needs help. But right now, I have a promise to keep to Bagow."

I'm breakable, unbreakable, I'm shakeable, unshakeable

Touka nodded. "Now that we have both armlets, it's time to bring back the Incan science to help humanity in any way possible."

Unraveling since I found you

The boat was off, the pack looking out to the sea and home.

And now I'm turning to dust in a world that's twisted

Days later, Ken and Touka were swinging through the trees of their new jungle home.

Don't come searching when I go missing

Nishiki, Hideyoshi, and Moley were on the ground with a new tribe, following the signal from the two armlets.

Close your eyes or just try to look away, don't want to hurt you

They soon came across a site of an Ancient Incan ruin.

We live in a world someone else imagined

Ken approached at large door with the two armlets, the GaGa Armlet slipping off and entering the door lock.

The ghost of what's left of me all but vanished

The pack looked at each other and smiled as Ken slipped his arm with the GiGi Armlet into the other lock.

Remember my heart, how bright I used to shine

The door began to open as Ken pulled his arm out, the pack and the tribe gazing in wonder at what they saw. Long live the Kamen Riders.


Next Story: Joe Shimamura and his fellow cyborgs thought things were done when they finally defeated the Black Ghost organization that made them cyborgs, only to learn that the organization had merely been a sub-division of a greater evil coalition called Black Satan. To protect the world and free him and his friends from the darkness of the past, Joe takes his cybernetics to new, electric, heights! Stay tuned, as Cyborg Stronger is coming soon!

Amazon leaps into view as turns to see a bright red and black armored warrior modeled after a rhinoceros beetle drive on a modified Suzuki GT380. Amazon performs the Amazonian friendship sign, and the new warrior copies it. Amazon nods and leaps off as the new warrior nods at the camera.

So, for those of you who don't know, it was at this time that Kamen Rider was kicked off NET for a while only to be replaced by Super Sentai. Kamen Rider still aired, only now on TBS (which in this case stands for Tokyo Broadcasting System). It would be fourteen years before Kamen Rider returned, during which time NET became the TV-Asahi most of us are familiar with. But of course, my writing has nothing to the do with that. Once I'm ready to post the first chapter of Cyborg Stronger, you'll see something special on my profile page, so be sure to take a look. Read and review.
