I didn't even know who this next villain was until I looked her up on Wikipedia. I think GOD may be scrapping the bottom of the barrel here. But we're almost with the blueprint hunt, so maybe King Dark is getting desperate. Also, originally it was supposed to be Kamen Rider 2 who joined the fight, but I wanted to do something more appropriate. Disclaimer: I don't own Kamen Rider, Angel Beats, or any other referenced media.

Chapter 33: The Most Obscure Villain
Ayato was running through the woods, chasing a young woman. It was the sort of chase that was reserved for lovers teasing each other. As he caught up, he placed a flower in the woman's hair. Suddenly, she screamed, and Ayato woke up from his dream. "Something wrong?," Yuzuru asked. Ayato looked around to see the other Riders were surrounding him, looking worried. "You nodded off for bit there," Hideki said.
Ayato shook his head in confusion. "I just had the weirdest dream. There was this girl, and I was chasing her…" "Well, you are the only one of us who doesn't have a significant other," Kanade noted, "Me and Yuzuru have each other, Hideki has Yui, Yurippe has Noda…" "How did you know about that!?," Yurippe demanded, blushing heavily. Ayato chuckled until a familiar scream rang out, and he saw the same woman from his dreams running off from a group of Warfare Agents.
"GOD forces!," Yurippe called out, "We need to mobilize!" No one argued the fact that she was grateful for a change in subject. The Warfare Agents for wielding nunchaku and dressed in kung fu gear, but the Riders were expert martial artists themselves. Once the Agents were taken out, Ayato approached the woman. "You alright?" The woman nodded. "Thank you." Ayato was still weirded out by how similar the woman looked to the one he saw in his dream.
Apparently, the woman was the daughter of the famous Doctor Yang, so the group took her to the Coffee House COL. It was likely that he had the final piece of the blueprints. "It seems GOD's already killed Doctor Yang and his wife," Yurippe explained, "But if they were after her as well, it means they didn't get the blueprint piece yet." Tobei nodded as he looked at the woman. "Meaning she might have it. Well, not to worry. I'll see to it that she's kept safe here."
Later, the group was at an amusement park, Ayato on a roller coaster with the young Miss Yang, causing the gang to look at each other knowingly. "So," Yui said, "Are they falling in love, or he just spoiling her?" "Well, she's not that far removed in age from him," Kanade pointed out. "And she deserves to have a little fun after everything that happened," Iwasawa pointed out as she came over with some drinks. None of them noticed the camera watching the group.
King Dark observed the footage. "Enjoy yourselves while you can, Kamen Riders… It won't last!" He chuckled. Later the group decided to get some lunch. However, Yuzuru was missing. Not for long, however, as he joined up with the group. "Sorry to be late, I had to check up on something." He was narrowing his eyes on Miss Yang. She noticed this, and suddenly fainted. "I'm feeling dizzy…" "We should take her to a hospital," Tobei suggested. "I'll be fine," she insisted, "I just need to rest…" "She can use my room," Ayato said, "It's the closest."
Once Miss Yang was alone in the room, Yui and Iwasawa peered at her through the keyhole. She started rifling through all the books and such that Ayato brought with him. "What is she up to?," Yui wondered, "Is she some kind of thief?" "Let's find out," Iwasawa said, and she opened the door to confront the girl. The girl heard them and turned around, suddenly sporting a pair of large fangs and pale skin.
Iwasawa quickly jammed the door with her guitar before it could shut on them. "So, you've been with GOD the whole time!" The girl turned into a centipede monster. Yui sent out an alert to the Riders, who arrived in short order. "Just who are you?," Kanade asked. "I am Centipede Youhiki," the monster said, "Member of GOD's Villain Army!" "Yang Guifei wasn't even a villain!," Ayato called out, "She was a scapegoat for the Au Lushan Rebellion! And where's Doctor Yang's daughter!?"
Centipede Youhiki thought for a moment. "Maybe I'll tell you… If you hand over all of your blueprint pieces." Yuzuru smirked. "Oh? If you really want them, then try and get them!" Warfare Agents appeared to attack. They swung their nunchaku, but Hideki easily outmatched them with his wooden baseball bat. "I never liked those weapons. Hey guys, let's not beat around the bush here."
The Riders nodded as they headed outside, activating their devices. "Henshin!" "Dai Setup!" Once transformed, X grabbed one of the nunchaku to take out the Warfare Agents, the other Riders using their regular weapons. Centipede Youhiki moved in to attack, getting nunchaku tangled with X's, letting the other start beating on her. Feeling overwhelmed, she decided to retreat. "I'll take my revenge before long, Riders! You can be sure of that!"
King Dark was not happy about his monster actions. He was actually drawing himself to his full height out of anger. "You imbecile! You were not to get the blueprint pieces with brute force! You were to deceive Ayato Naoi with your beauty, ingratiating yourself into the Battlefront to swipe them secretly! It seems I can no longer rely on any of you. I'll just have to take the blueprint pieces myself! Lure the Riders to the Devil's Cemetery!" "Of course!," Centipede Youhiki replied, rushing off. "I'll crush the Riders with my own hands!," King Dark declared.
Using her disguise, Centipede Youhiki faked a kidnapping of Doctor Yang's daughter just as the Riders were returning to the Coffee House COL. This got the Riders chasing her, causing her to grin. "They're walking right in a trap and don't even realize it." The car soon disappeared, but Centipede Youhiki made sure the Riders didn't lose her by having her Agents carry her off across a nearby rope bridge and into a nearby waterfall.
The cave basically lead to King Dark's lair. But the Riders expected this, falling into a nearby pit trap. "So you've fallen into my trap!," King Dark declared through a nearby skull. "Not really," Yuzuru said, "We came here on purpose. You messed up, since we knew that Doctor Yang and his family have been in Geneva for the past week." He held up a picture of a small girl, much younger than Centipede Youhiki's disguise. "And this is a picture of Doctor Yang's real daughter."
"It matter not," King Dark said, "You'll still die if you don't give me the blueprints!" The Riders laughed. "As if we'd take you at your word!," Yurippe said. "You'd kill us either way just for opposing you!," Ayato pointed out. "And besides," Hideki added, "We don't even keep the blueprints on us! Killing us would only make you lose them forever!" "You'll be talking one way or another!," King Dark declared, releasing poison gas into the cave.
"Oh crap!," Kanade called out, "Guys, devices!" The group activated their transformation sequence. "Henshin!" "Dai Setup!" They transformed into X, Angel, Life, SSS, and Eyez. "Don't forget," King Dark said, "I still have some of your friends." A nearby stone appeared to reveal Yui and Iwasawa. "Now where are the blueprints!" X scoffed. "We keep them in our Rider Machines…" "Then call them in here!," King Dark demanded.
The Cruiser came flying in, along with Kamen Rider V3. "Good timing!," X said. He and Eyez cut down the girls, letting the entire group escape. "By the way!," X called out, "I was lying!" "Damn you, Kamen Riders!," King Dark called out, "I will avenge this insult!" Outside, the Riders made sure Yui and Iwasawa were alright. "Thanks for coming Akira," Yuzuru said. Akira nodded. "Hey, we Riders stick together." The blueprint pieces were actually still in Deep Blue.
"It's not over yet!," Centipede Youhiki said, holding Tobei on the rope bridge, "Hand over the blueprints if you value this man's life!" Tobei looked at them, and then climbed over the rope bridge, plummeting off and into the valley, much to everyone's shock, even the monster's. Fortunately, he got caught in midair by Kamen Rider 1, who came riding in out of nowhere. "No way!," Yuzuru said. "I had to figure he'd show up," Akira said with a chuckle. "Another interloper!," Centipede Youhiki growled.
"Wrong!," 1 said as he landed with Tobei, "Another protector!" He reverted back to Naofumi and met with the other Riders. "Glad you got here when you did," Kanade said, "We were almost against the wall." "Seriously, Boss," Akira said, "Don't go scaring us like that." "I was just trying to take myself out of the equation," Tobei admitted, "I've already lived out my life." "Hey, don't be like that," Naofumi said, "You still have that dream to fulfill after all."
Tobei nodded. "Still, now we have seven Riders at once. Now we have nothing left to fear." Inside his lair, King Dark laughed. "That's what they think! Now we can take out all of them at once!" He launched his power to create a rock slide, thinking he had just buried the Riders. "Now Centipede Youhiki, go get the blueprints off of their corpses!" She looked around the area. "But there are no corpses around!"
"That's because we aren't dead!," X called out, standing at the top of the waterfall with 1, V3, Angel, Life, SSS, and Eyez. "When will you guys learn?," 1 asked, "A Kamen Rider is immortal! Killing us is practically impossible!" 1 and V3 went to confront King Dark as the X team dealt with Centipede Youhiki's forces. "You blasted Riders!," she called out, "Crow Bomb!" The Riders dodged the dive-bombing crows and their explosions. They then proceeded to start laying into the monster.
She tried throwing darts from her fan, which was only painful, not truly damaging. Angel, Life, SSS, and Eyez started smacking Centipede Youhiki around with their weapons, setting up for X to finish her off. He began spinning on his head using TK's break dance skills. "Synchro Spinning Strike!" Instead of moving forward like a top, he was able to keep striking from a stand-still, the multiple kicks sending Centipede Youhiki flying, exploding when she hit the ground.
Meanwhile, King Dark was confronting 1 and V3, at first using poison gas. But it was clear that wasn't working, he sealed off his chamber. "It seems X has just destroyed my latest useless creation! We settle this before long, Riders, but now is not the time!" And with that, he disappeared from the chamber in a cloud of smoke. In spite of his declaration, he had to live with the fact that X and his team had successfully defied him once again, with GOD still only having one blueprint piece while the Riders having the other seven, with one piece still in the wind.
