Reviews:
Shooting Star Dragon 3000: Yeah, but that's history. And rank up that Hiryu counter dude. It's gonna be a big one.
ChaosSonic1: Well, duh. We're not going to be jerks to Kouta.
Shadeking666: We'll be doing our own thing for Gaim. In regards to Aura, you'll have to wait, but it's a process.
Sakura Kudo: Oh, he has fruit salads prepared 24/7.
MKDemigodZ-Warrior: Just wait and see what we have planned. Yeah, G4X is like Iron-Man; technology evolves and that is what it turns to near the end. I think Kouta was called 'Fruit Jesus' shortly after he became the Man of the Beginning.
HackerEX: Yeah, and we'll never give up!
Speed Reader: Thank you.
Bastion Lightz: Yeah, we had a good idea ready in waiting for Grand Zi-O.
Here are some reviews answered by our own GreyKing46:
Bahamut0: Well... go ahead, man! We'd be happy to read it!
LegionnaireBlaze: It is not a fan-made version of Another Agito, it is the shows Another Agito... coloured like the REAL Agito so it works better.
MKDemigodZ-Warrior: It was not G4, it was G10. And Fruit Jesus came around from when Kouta was killed by Micchy, surrounded by feathers, and then came back to life.
Dragon Rider 66: Not outright different, just expanded and tweaked. Actually given importance.
Zero Shadow-01: Thanks man.
Shooting Star Dragon 3000: Yeah, change to the status quo there.
KoutaMamba24: It was Kamen Rider Another Agito's name during preproduction before they changed it to Another Agito.

It was a hard thing to comprehend, Tsuki's real name was 'Alpina'. She was a princess...and just had her memories returned after so long. It was a real blow to the ego and weighed heavily on everyone's minds.
"So... You are from an alternate time line?" Sougo asked the group gathered around the table to hear the full story
"Yes." Tsuki...Alpina...whatever her name was, responded sadly.
"And your home was destroyed by Oma." Geiz followed up, sitting next to her like a big brother. "And the Another Riders, who posses peoples bodies, are... Your timelines riders who are corrupted by Oma Zi-O's power?"
"That's right. All of it...it comes back to Oma." Tsuki sniffed sadly before Sougo gripped her hand softly.
"It's okay. It's okay." he soothed softly
"And... It explains why we always fit so well together. Why when I first saw you... I knew you weren't him." Tsuki continued "We are Soul Mates. Destined to be together."
Sougo blushed as he heard that. True, he didn't believe in 'soul mates' but this was true love between him and Tsuki...Alpina. He didn't want to jinx any of it and held her hand.
"What do we call you now?" Wol asked
"I. I don't know. Alpina is my past and real name but...I've grown attached to 'Tsukuyomi'." She answered, conflicted about her names.
Who was she now? She was more confused than ever
"You are Tsukuyomi. You are Alpina...But to us, you are our Queen." Woz spoke up, kneeling down to her out of respect. "You have friends and loved ones here who care about you."
"I... think I'd prefer it if everyone but you call me Tsukuyomi." Tsuki said, her hand gripping Sougo's
"Is calling you 'Tsuki' still okay?" Sougo smirked
"Yes." She nodded. "But... you are also the only one allowed to call me Alpina. And I would like to hear you call me that. If you want."
"It'll take some getting used to, but I'll get to it...Alpina." Sougo answered, making her smile, just a little.
"Hey, err...can I ask something?" Wol asked
"What is it?" Geiz responded
"Well, if you know what happened...can't we use the Time Mazine to go back and stop Oma or tell your younger self about all this?" Wol asked. "I know it's stupid to ask, but I wanted to ask."
...
"Do... you not know anything about time travel?" Sougo asked "I... okay. Have you ever heard of the Bootstrap paradox?"
"What do shoes have to do with anything?" Wol tilted his head. "All I know is: go forward, nothing will change; go back, step on a bug, you blow up the universe."
"...That. No. Just no." Geiz sighed and groaned.
"Let me try and explain." Sougo rubbed his neck. "A bootstrap paradox is when something is trapped in an endless loop with no true origin. Like...Err, what was that game? Like a piece of music. If Person A from the future gives information on the music to Person B and B goes back in time to meet Person A to share that info...well then; who told the other first? Was it A who told B, or was is B who told A?"
"Err..." Wol blinked
"Okay, let's use this as an example." Woz explained "Let's say a future version of our King suddenly arrived, he has come from a week in the future, and he is here to fight alongside us. However, he acts weirdly and does things that don't make sense to us, maybe even turning against us and attacking. He then returns to his time as the week ends... and our king has to go back in time to go through those events again, this time as the one from the future."
"And because he has lived through this he knows what the future him is supposed to do. And to make sure everything ends the way it is supposed to do, he has to do it all identically. Such as doing those weird things which makes no sense and even turning against us." Geiz added "Because if he doesn't he is changing history, a history he has already lived through."
"A time loop bootstrap paradox. Because... one of these future me's had to be the original one, but which one?" Sougo finished
...
"My head hurts." Wol groaned
"Same." Aura nodded, rubbing her temple
"And that's why we can't do that." Tsuki finished
"And we're not going to do the basic, 'go back in time to meet yourself' paradox either." Sougo added. "Meeting yourself will cause a shattering paradox. Either the universe is destroyed or nothing will happen...but since it's all or nothing, I'd rather not do that."
"Gah! Stop it! My brain's fried." Wol groaned, rubbing his head...you could almost see the steam coming from his brain.
"Want some ice cream?" Aura asked
"Please." Wol nodded
"Y'know. I'm glad we didn't kill you and we sorted all this paradox stuff out earlier." Geiz answered.
"Told you movies and books helped." Sougo answered
"It's all thanks to Tsuki and that 'feeling' she had." Geiz added. "She sprinted away and threw me away the second she saw you."
"...Good to know." Sougo admitted
"Sougo, do you think we might need to go on a small holiday?" She asked
"Yes, probably." He nodded softly
"Hey, just wondering...What happened with the RideWatch that Tsukasa borrowed?" Geiz pondered
...
"Damn it!" They all whined
"Urgh, why did we let him take one?" Geiz asked
"Cause he's our senior Rider, he was our teacher and he knows where the other Riders might be?" Sougo listed off.
"We should ask him about it later." Tsuki pointed out
"Yeah, I guess so." Sougo nodded.
Woz looked over some travel brochures and saw something that piqued his interest. "Zawame City?... I do believe that is the home of one of the last two Riders we have yet to meet." Woz commented
"Is it any good?" Tsuki asked
"It's famous for its dance troupes, fresh fruits and its imposing towers." Woz answered, reading the brochure.
"Cool, and hey. We decided we needed a break." Sougo shrugged
"Sure. How long's the drive?" Geiz asked
"A few hours. But considering the Time Mazine..." Woz frowned
"We'll call a travel bus." Sougo answered
*time skip*
The group were asleep on the bus, arriving in Zawame City in mere moments. It was also a good thing they packed up for a three day weekend, they didn't have to get up and go out all in one day.
Alpina was sat next to Sougo, curled up next to him as he held her protectively
Geiz and Woz had their own seats so there was now accidental leaning on each other.
Junichiro was invited along and near the front, being a cautious person after all.
And finally, Wol and Aura were sleeping in the back, claiming it as their own 'mini-bunk bed'.
The bus neared the city, driving along at a steady pace
Junichiro leaned on the window of the bus, sleeping contently as things between Sougo and Tsuki were getting stronger...though he was shocked to know about her real name and her history.
"Zawamei City. Now approaching Zawamei City."
The travellers silently snorted awake as they heard the driver's system call out to them. "Oh, my head..." Wol groaned as he was abruptly woken up.
"Hush." Aura groaned.
"Are we there?" Woz mumbled as he woke up.
Geiz stretched as he woke up, looking around and saw the tall buildings. "Whoa."
Sougo and Alpina looked out the window in amazement.
"Wow, look at all that." Alpina whispered in awe. "They look like they can touch the sky."
"Yeah. I've got to be honest, I never thought I'd be here." He answered
"Why?"
"Well, between school and stuff...It seemed like having a long trip here seemed like a pipedream." Sougo answered. "Plus Zawame is a very expensive city."
"How expensive?" Geiz asked
"You'd get a better meal for your money from a street vendor than an actual restaurant. Your wallet will thank you." Junichiro answered
...
"Do they have any cake shops?" Aura asked
"I think so." Woz answered, as he vaguely recalled the brochure. "There's a patisserie somewhere in town." making her squeal softly in excitement
The bus soon came to a halt, coming into the terminal. "Zawame City, final stop." The driver spoke.
"That's us." Sougo spoke, everyone getting up and walked outside.
"Thank you." Each once spoke, thanking the driver as they left and got their bags.
"Wow! So big!" Wol commented, disappearing and now standing atop a statue "I still can't see the top of those buildings!"
"Wol, no powers in public." Sougo reminded
"Seriously? Okay." Wol sighed and slumped, grabbing his bags.
"You'll be back in three days; right?" Sougo asked the driver.
"Of course, Sir." He nodded as Sougo passed him a tip.
"Come on Kingy, you need to show me where this patisserie place is!" Aura urged as she hugged Sougo's arm
"We need to go to our hotel first." Geiz commented
Alpina frowned and hugged Sougo's other arm, holding it tightly as she didn't want to leave her Soul Mate. "I agree with Geiz."
"Let's go." Junchiro instructed
"Here, let me carry some of these." Woz offered
*Time Skip*
"Are you sure about this?" Sougo asked his uncle.
"Of course, you all have fun. I'll window shop and I might pick up some souvenirs." Junichiro reassured. "Have fun. And you have those funky watch bots to help you if you somehow get lost or separated."
"That's true. We'll see you later, Uncle." Sougo answered, giving him a quick hug before they departed.
"Bye, sir." Geiz nodded
"Bye, uncle!" Tsuki, Alpina, said without thinking
'W-Wait, 'uncle'?' Sougo thought to himself as he heard Tsuki...Alpina, say that. It was honestly nice and a little adorable and she blushed as she realised what she said.
"So err...Where's this bakery thing?" Wol asked "Anyone have a map?"
"Luckily, I picked one up from the hotel." Aura smiled as she produced maps of the city. "Figured we could all have one."
"Good thought." Woz nodded
"So, who wants to go where?" Aura asked as she passed maps around to the others while sidling up to Sougo
"Well, I'll go and see if there's any stuff for Rise. She'll flip if I don't get her at least one souvenir." Geiz joked lightly
"We will look for this sweet shop!" Aura added, pulling Sougo away
"Whoa!" Sougo jerked as he was pulled away.
"But I-." Alpina frowned "Wait for me!" she snapped and chased after them
"...I think things are going to be difficult for them for now." Wol blinked nervously at that.
"Give it time, things will become better." Woz answered. "Hmm? What's this?" As he picked up a flown off poster.
"What's that?" Wol asked
"It says 'Dance-Off in Zawame Square! All welcome to view. Neo Baron and Gaim dance for charity.'" Woz clarified. "Wait... Gaim?"
*with Sougo*
Sougo was being pulled by both Alpina and Aura, almost being torn in two. "L-Ladies, ladies, please! You're going to tear my arms off!" as they arrived at a fancy building
"Whoa." The three looked on at the building, it was a glorious patisserie with the name 'Charmant' for its sign.
"Hmm~, can you smell the fresh goods?" Aura drooled slightly at the smell
"Let's go in." Alpina nodded, too tempted by the sweet smell
"Okay. Just try and keep things simple." Sougo asked nervously
"Sougo. It's me." Aura teased as they entered
"That's what's worrying." Alpina joked back
"Bonjour~!" A voice cheered as the three entered the patisserie making the three spin in shock. Appearing before them was a tall, strong and flamboyant man wearing a multicoloured shirt, a black vest and blue jeans, with a black bandana over his head and a large ring earring. "Welcome to Charmant!"
"... Hello?" Sougo squeaked softly
"So what brings you to my patisserie?" The man asked as he stood there.
"We'd like a table for three." Aura asked "Please."
"Of course!" the man said, spinning on the spot for a moment
'What's with this guy?' Sougo thought nervously as the man was clearly... Flamboyant.
Alpina, Aura and Sougo walked to an empty table, where the man clapped his hands. "Please enjoy the desserts." as he placed down fruity confections before the three of them
"But, we didn't order-" Sougo blinked in confusion.
"Nonsense! I have confidence these will be to your la satisfaction!" The man smiled and left
...
"Looks delicious!" Aura's eyes and lips watered hungrily.
"Who was he?" Sougo asked as the girls dug in... And squealed happily
"Delicious~!" The two squeed
"Really?" Sougo asked as he rubbed his ears, before taking a bite of his own fruit-tart. "...YUMMY!"
"Ah, merci." a new man commented, much younger than the first
The young man had slightly feathered light-brown hair, glasses, wearing a white and black waiter's uniform. He seemed to be older than Sougo and the girls.
"... Who are you?" Sougo asked
"I'm Jonouchi Hideyasu. I'm the chef who made your confections for today." The young man answered, "And the personal apprentice of Oren Pierre Alfonso, the head of this lovely establishment!"
"Well, compliments to the chef." Alpina smiled
Aura looked at her dessert and felt a slight pang of regret, almost giving the 1000 yard stare at her dessert.
"... You okay?" Sougo blinked
"I'm jealous." Aura admitted.
"'Jealous'? Of what?" Alpina asked
"These desserts. The chef...I couldn't learn how to do this." She admitted
"I'm sure you can with practice and-" Jonouchi began to encourage her.
Aura just shook her head. "I love these desserts...but I burn ice. I can't cook anything."
...
"You what?" Sougo asked in shock
"If you ask me to make cereal, somehow it ends up burnt." Aura answered. "Wol's amazing at it."
"At making cereal?"
"Making desserts. Dinners. Just anything cooking related." Aura clarified. "He's a great cook."
"Do you have his references?" Jonouchi asked as this piqued his interest, thinking that another great cook would be good for the shop.
"Really?"
DONK!
Jonouchi was knocked on the head by the flamboyant man and dragged away.
The group assuming this man was the guy called Oren
NEVER GIVE UP!
...
"I'm sorry to hear that." Sougo said suddenly
"It's fine. I'm good at other stuff though." Aura answered as she tucked into the fruit tart. "Mmm~, so good!"
*with Geiz*
"So, what's this 'dance-off'?" Geiz asked
"I think it's self-explanatory." Woz answered
"Yeah but... What and why?"
"I think we should just watch and enjoy." Wol waved off with the others shrugging
Geiz rubbed the back of his head. 'I don't get any of these things.' He thought as they arrived at a large crowd who were sitting around a large dish-like stairwell with two platforms at the bottom and large speakers for music.
"Whoa!" they gasped
"Amazing." Woz whispered as he saw it.
"Hey, there's a vendor. Let's get some stuff." Wol pointed
"Yeah, okay. Just...Don't run off." Geiz answered before Wol disappeared, sighing heavily. "He is a child."
"And you had trouble with him back in the early days." Woz quipped
"Don't you start making jokes, Woz." Gei shook his head.
Coming out from the middle of the stage was an announcer, wearing a black and white uniform and a pin with a tree on it. "Ladies and gentlemen, welcome to the dance-off for charity!" making the audience cheer
"All proceedings here will go to the housing of homeless citizens and give them a safe warm place to live instead of the streets." The announcer spoke. "And let's introduce the dancers! Team Neo Baron and Team Gaim!"
Music began to start up, as Team Gaim was the first to take the stage
It was a team of four people, as they stepped to the beat, leaping out to welcoming cheers as they began their well-trained dance. All of them wearing white jackets with blue accents and their team name on the back.
"Whoa. They're good." Geiz mumbled as he looked on.
"Yeah." Woz nodded in agreement
"What did I-? Whoa." Wol popped back up, carrying some 'fruit trays' for the three.
In a flash of sparks came from the floor of Neo Baron's platform, when their troupe came out and began to 'rival dance' with Team Gaim.
They were clad in black and red, trench coats and stylish almost military-themed attire proudly worn.
Geiz quickly looked down at his own clothes and was stunned by a similar theme that they had...it was honestly a little scary.
"You'd fit right in." Woz joked, as if echoing Geiz's thoughts
"Shut up." Geiz pushed him gently, while Wol was engrossed by the sights and sounds. '...Really good dancing though.' as the fun music filled the air
The dance continued, seeing all the choreography of the dances; all enthralling the audience and thoroughly enjoying it. It was incredible, amazing! A spectral of skills, a sight for the eyes!
*Elsewhere*
We arrive in a different part of town, one where some of the urban development had halted to make way for a large park for kids to play in and in the centre of this park was a large, sturdy tree with a white rope tied around it. This was a sacred tree that protected people, a means of the past to exist in the present.
The three from the sweet shop where approaching the tree, continuing their tour
"Wow, you don't see trees this large anymore. It must be at least a hundred years old." Sougo commented on the sheer size of the plant. "Are you okay?" He asked both Aura and Alpina.
"It's just...I haven't seen a tree like this in a long time." Alpina answered
"Yeah...I thought these were all destroyed. But...It's majestic." Aura added, recalling the near-desolate wasteland of the future. "So beautiful."
"Huh? Why're there flowers here? Is this also a memorial?" Alpina asked as she looked at the flowers around the tree.
"It is." a man sighed as he approached with a bouquet of flowers
"Huh?" The three asked as they turned around and saw the person.
It was a man wearing the Team Baron outfit, with short and crazy messy hair "Hello. My name is Zack." he greeted
"Nice to meet you." Sougo responded as Zack laid down the flowers.
"Was this person special to you?" Alpina asked
"Yeah. He was the Boss." Zack answered. "The original leader of Team Baron."
"I'm sorry to hear that." Sougo apologised
"He was strong. A bit hot-headed but...hell, he was a great leader." Zack answered.
"Did he come here often?" Aura asked
"He grew up here, this place had a tree like this one...He brought it back." Zack answered, "This is his unofficial gravesite."
"I'm sorry to hear that." Alpina responded
"It's fine." Zack answered, before placing his hand on the tree out of respect before walking off. "Oh, I should give this to you three." As he handed a flyer to the Dance-Off.
"What is it?" Sougo asked
"Charity dance-off. It's only open for today." Zack answered.
"Let's go check it out!" Sougo smiled
"Yeah, we might meet some famous faces around." Aura added as they followed Zack
They all hurried up, soon arriving at the stage.
"Whoa. It's really...what's the word?" Aura asked in awe.
"'Packed'?" Sougo responded
"That's it." She nodded
"I'll get us something to drink." Alpina spoke up, kissing Sougo on the cheek
"Thanks." he smiled, watching as his girlfriend ran off
As the charity dance-off continued, unbeknownst to all the people, someone was back at the park. A man dressed in purple and a young man dressed in layered clothing. Swartz and Hiryu.
Hiryu had a blank RideWatch in his hand and was throwing it up and down casually
"A tree? We're in the most expensive city in Japan...for a tree?" Hiryu commented with a bored yawn
"This is an important tree, Hiryu." Swartz answered. "The means to bring another world to this one."
"...You're going into that overplayed genre-!" Hiryu turned, feeling annoyed that even the future might have a particular oversaturated story style.
"Of course not. I literally mean that." He answered as he pressed the button.
GaIm!
And proceeded to shove the RideWatch into the tree.
A deep terrible rumbling could be felt within and under the surrounding area. The tree...was waking up. Something stirred deep within this mighty flora; as a violent purple mist formed from within and extended a dark blue and orange armoured hand.
*time skip*
"Thank you, thank you." The announcer spoke as people donated some of their money to help the cause.
Sougo looked at the two teams, who looked proud of their dance-off and nodded in his resolve. Taking out a blank cheque and pen. "What're you doing?" Aura asked
"Something good." He answered as he went over to the table. "Excuse me, I'd like to leave this anonymously." As he wrote down a number on the cheque.
"Of course, sir." The announcer nodded and took the cheque from Sougo...almost collapsing to the floor as they saw it. "S-Sir! This is-!"
"Don't worry about it." Sougo answered as he left.
"How much did you give?" Aura asked
"Enough." Sougo answered simply, before holding both Aura's and Alpina's hands making both girls blush.
Suddenly vines began to burst from the ground and buildings, wrapping around everything it could
The people screamed as they tried to get out of the way, seeing all these mysterious vines around, however, the dance troupes weren't screaming...more like they were in shock. Seeing something from their past had resurfaced.
"What's going on?" Aura asked
"I don't know!" Sougo responded, protecting the two.
"Helheim plants?!" They heard Zack yell
"Shouldn't they be gone? Why's this happening?" Two more members of the different troupes asked before they were wrapped up and yanked away.
"No!" The groups panicked
Zack suddenly pulled out... A Driver?!
"Wh-huh?" Both Sougo's and Geiz's groups saw the driver. It was mostly black with a strange yellow knife with a silver lining on the right-hand side.
"Kaito. Stand with us!" Zack called out, as he attached the driver and pulled out a strange lock from his pocket.
Kurumi!
"Henshin!" Zack called out and attacked his lock onto his belt
Lock on!
As he pressed the knife downwards, above Zack's head was the sound of a large zipper opening and a strange mechanical looking walnut lowered over his head and opened up as he was engulfed in black armour.
Kurumi Arms! Mr Knuckle Man!
Zack was now wearing a black bodysuit, dark-grey shin-guards, large walnut themed boxing gloves with silver studs, pale orange walnut shoulder-guards and chest-plate, a black helmet with walnut guards, yellow eyes and silver markings. He ran at the people, ripping off the Helheim vines off of people as fast as he could.
"Huh?" The groups gasped
"Everyone, get back! Get the civilians away!" Zack called out, as he tried to tear off the vines from the people who were caught.
"Sougo!" Alpina pointed.
"I know. Get to safety." He nodded as both he, Geiz and Woz got their Drivers ready.
ZIKU DRIVER!
BEYONDDRIVER!
The three Quartzer Riders got their respective RideWatches and raced down to help the Rider who was saving people, knowing they couldn't be on the sidelines.
"Henshin!" The three called out, transforming into their respective forms, before running to help people out.
'Gah! These are tougher than I remember!' Zack thought as he tried to save people. "Hang on!"
"Mummy!" A young boy cried as he and his mother were ripped apart from each other.
"No!" Zack called out
Zikan Zax!
Zikan Glade!
Zikan DeSpear!
SLASH!
SLASH!
SLASH!
"Huh?" Zack double-took as he saw the people being cut down and freed
"Woz, get the people out of here!" Sougo called out, wearing his Kabuto Armour.
"Of course, My King!" Woz, Shinobi Form, responded and carried them off to safety.
"Harvest time!" Geiz added, wearing Drive Armour as he 'SHINKED' his Zax and slashed at great speeds.
The tires on his shoulders began to spin, the light illuminating him
Geiz's armour shone with red, white and black.
On top of his base red body-armour were black boots and shin guards, black gloves and two black wheels on his shoulders with white vertical stripes, his thigh-guards had white plates with a single vertical red stripe in the middle, his chest-guard was like the bonnet of a car with white racing stripes and his mask was like Drive's, spoiler and all with his yellow Hiragana visor reading 'Drive'.
"Ha!" Geiz called out as he leapt into the air, slashing at the vines as best as he could and grabbed a person. "You okay?" To which the rescue person nodded and ran from the scene.
"There's no end." Sougo whispered as he used his blade as best he could.
"Hey!" Zack called out. "You're 'Armoured Riders'?" He asked them.
"'Armoured'-? Yeah, we are." Sougo clarified.
"We need more help." Zack agreed
SCREECH!
"Huh?" the group, seeing a sleek white sports car pull up beside them
"They're here!" Zack gasped
"'They'?" Sougo asked as two people got out and walked towards the Riders.
Both were black-haired men, both wearing business suits and had an air of experience about them. However, the second man looked younger than the first. "Takatora, it looks like Helheim's back." The younger man commented as he attached a similar black Driver to his belt.
"It's been a while; hasn't it, Micchi?" Takatora, the older man, agreed as both of them pulled out two locks from their pockets.
MELON!
BU~DO!
LOCK ON!
Suddenly Japanese styled music could be heard coming from the belt of the older brother while Chinese music could be heard coming from the younger brother's belt
The named Takatora reached down and slashed the knife down on his belt, opening his lock
SOIYA!
With his little brother following close behind
HAI~
A large green mechanical melon fell onto the older brother's body, forming a white suit, while a purple box themed after grapes fell on the other brothers head and unfolded
MELON ARMS! TENKA GOMEN!
Takatora's body was covered in a white body-suit with golden shin guards, melon themed shoulder and chest guard and a golden crested helmet with pale gold visor. Summoned into his hand was a gold and melon green shield with a gold 'Y' shaped symbol on the front with depictions of sliced melon on the sides.
BUDOU ARMS! RYU! HO! HA-HA-HA!
Micchi's body-suit was mainly black with green and gold armour adorning his legs and arms, with grape-styled armour covering his chest and shoulders, a crotch-protector of a golden mountain on a green field and a green and gold Chinese warrior-styled helmet with purple visor eyes.
"Huh? More fruits?" Sougo gasped "... Are all these Riders fruit-based?"
"Hey, any of you guys Gaim?" Geiz asked
"Gaim? No." Takatora answered as he began to cleave the Helheim vines away.
"Kouta's gone, he's far away from here." Micchi answered as he explained it to them.
...
"What?"
"It's a whole thing. Do you have anything that can help?" Micchi tried to explain.
"My King, the civilians are safe." Woz called out as a figure began to emerge from the vines.
It was a blue body-suited figure, warped yellow/gold shin-guards and arm-guards, rotten orange-based plates with warped knotted branches on its shoulders and helmet, a silver knife and buckle with a gold '8' on his buckle. And finally his helmet, red veins on his head, orange-yellow broken glass for its visor and two scarred protrusions on the side of his face with humanoid teeth for his mouth.
"K-Kouta?" Zack asked in shock.
"That's not Kouta!" Micchi responded as the Another Rider slashed with his blades.
"Are those oranges?" Sougo asked in shock, dodging the blades, along with the vines. "Whoa! Maybe this will help!" he yelled
AGITO!
He slotted in the RideWatch, replacing his Kabuto one and pressed his Driver's button. "Henshin!" And spun his Driver.
RIDER TIME! KAMEN RI~DER ZI-O!
ARMOUR TIME!
Summoned before Sougo, as his Kabuto Armour disappeared, was a white and silver Rider Armour with a golden chest-plate and crest-styled shoulder-pads with silver and gold-crest helmet. The armour raised its arms before the Another Rider could strike with its blades against the Riders before it separated and attached itself with Sougo.
AGITO!
Shooting onto Sougo's visor was the pink Katakana lettering for 'Agito as his armour had fully formed.
He posed just like the rider he was based in before rushing forwards
"...He can 'Mix' as well?" Zack asked in shock.
"You're only just asking that?" Takatora responded
"What is this stuff?" Geiz asked as he arrived to meet the other Riders.
"Helheim vines. Vegetation from a different world." Takatora answered. "But it shouldn't even be on Earth anymore."
"We need to get out of here." the grape Rider added, shooting blasts of purple energy from his gun
"Can we take your car?" Zack quipped.
"...You ask that all the time." The melon Rider rolled his eyes. "Fine."
"Anyone who has bikes, follow us."
FINISH TIME! DRIVE!
"This should distract them." Geiz frowned
Geiz's strength flowed through his armour and leapt into the air and rocket down into the vines, causing them to catch fire and also hit Another Gaim.
HISSATSU! TIME BURST!
He roared, throwing his arms forwards and throwing energy tires through the air
Another Gaim roared as he was thrown back and almost exploded, but not defeated. But it did give the Riders time to leave and leave they did, as fast as they could.

"That. Was nuts." Sougo panted as he and the others were in the Tower in the centre of the city.
The Rider's had detransformed, all of them exhausted
"Yeah, it was...So...You're this 'King-'?" Micchi asked
"Again with that nickname." Sougo groaned gently. "Yes, I'm 'King Boy'. Honestly, I'm old enough not to be called a 'boy' anymore. My name's Sougo."
"Yeah. He's a 'man'." Aura teased
"Ahem!" Alpina blushed and coughed, feeling awkward by that remark.
"What brings you to Zawame? Aside from the monsters?" Micchi asked
"Holiday, mostly." Sougo answered.
"And you got brought into our mess on accident." Takatora answered
"More like you got into ours. That was 'Another Rider'." Geiz clarified "And without Gaim we have no way to stop it!"
"Isn't there any way to get Gaim? Unless he's dead." Wol asked curiously.
"He's not dead!" Micchi snapped
"I-I didn't mean it like that!" Wol apologised
"However we have no way to contact his planet." Takatora explained
...
"What?" the Time group asked in deadpanned disbelief
"Yeah, it's a whole thing with us." Zack admitted
"When Kouta left, he took all the Helheim stuff and went to a distant planet on the edge of the universe." Micchi added
"...Okay, I'm calling 'crap' on that. How can someone 'get to the edge of the universe'?" Geiz asked
"Well, he's-" Micchi tried to answer but was interrupted as the door slammed open, the two pastry chefs rushing inside.
"Helheim is back?" Jonouchi asked in confusion
"And you didn't tell Moi?" Oren followed up with a flourish.
"Wait... Mr Oren and that weird pastry cook?!" Sougo gasped
Jonouchi dropped to the floor in dismay. "My name is 'Jounochi'!" He responded, having felt his ego bruised
"Good thing we had more of these made ready." Mitsuzane explained, handing out two more of the Drivers.
"And there are more than enough Helheim fruits to make the needed Lockseeds." Takatora added
"Oh my lovely Melon, thank you!" Oren nodded happily and took the Driver happily, fluttering his eyelashes at the man.
"I believe the saying 'I need an adult' is required here, My King." Woz whispered to Sougo; to which Sougo just laughed awkwardly.
"Thank you, Takatora." Jonouchi added
"But the question is...What do we do?" Sougo asked. "Where did that Another Rider come from?"
"Let's check the surveillance footage." Takatora nodded
As they left for the surveillance room, Sougo was worried about his uncle...after all, with him here and this unbeatable Another Rider...what would happen? They had no means of getting the power now. He pulled out the Decade RideWatch, looking down at it thoughtfully. They... They might have a chance actually
"Huh? What's that in your hand?" Oren asked as he clocked the Decade RideWatch.
*time skip*
Another Gaim was standing at the top of a building overlooking the city, seeing all of Zawame before it. "Look at it all, Hiryu. A city to start again." Swartz spoke as he saw it all.
"It looks ugly." the teen shrugged
"But soon...it'll be a cornerstone in the way of the new future." Swartz answered. "We have the power of Gaim after all."
"Yeah, like that hasn't been said before." He spat back. "Hey, what're you doing just standing around?"
Another Gaim was just standing there, frozen like a statue.
"Hey! Dead-Brain! I said, why're you-?" Hiryu shouted, about to push him...only for his hand to be grabbed as a voice spoke through the 'emotionless' Another Rider. "A-ARGH!"
"Weak." The voice spoke. "You talk big...But you're not strong!" For a second a brown-haired man wearing a Team Baron coat could be seen before the form of Another Gaim took him over once more "I only acknowledge strength. Strength you do not have. You do not deserve my respect or loyalty."
"That's impossible." Swartz's face froze in fear and shock. "That can't happen."
"S-Swartz! Get him off me!" Hiryu begged, falling to his knees as he felt his wrist about to break.
"Hmph." Another Gaim released him, before turning back to the City once again.
... As the Time Mazine came rushing in.
"How is that thing still standing?!" Hiryu gripped his wrist in anguish as he saw the mecha and scowled.
Another Gaim glared up at it...and readied his blades, seeing this as a good fight.
The door on the machine opened, the Rider's jumping out
"Hiryu!" Sougo called out as he saw him on the floor.
"Tokiwa." Hiryu glared back, crawling away so he could heal his wrist.
"No time for him." Geiz answered as they attached their Drivers.
ZI-O! WOW! DECADE!
GEIZ! RE! VI! VE! GOURETSU!
QUIZ! QUIZ!
MELON ARMS!
BUDOU ARMS!
Oren and Jonouchi where the currently untransformed ones, but with their Drivers equipped they both plucked a Helheim fruit which transformed quickly
"Ah-ha~! Welcome back!" Oren smiled as he picked up a spiked nut Lockseed
DURIAN!
"Alright!" Jonouchi smiled and clicked his own Lockseed, which appeared to be an acorn.
DONGURI!
"Henshin!" The two attached their Drivers and inserted their Lockseeds.
LOCK ON!
DURIAN ARMS!
MR~ DANGEROUS!
DONGURI ARMS!
NEVER~ GIVE U~P!
Appearing on Oren was light green armour with spiked purple guards and a silver chest area, a dark green helmet with studded spike visor, with a large durian nut floating down over his head before opening up and formed his full armour; a dark green spiked plate-mail with a purple centurion plumage on his helmet. And in both hands, twin spiked blades, keeping to the theme of a durian nut.
And appearing on Jonouchi was a light brown and white protective-guards and chest protector with a white marked mask before a mechanical acorn floated down and split open to form his Rider Armour; the main part of the acorn became his shoulder guards while the top of the acorn became his chest area as a large acorn styled mallet appeared in his hands.
"I've missed this!" Jonouchi chuckled.
"Now to battle, shall we?" Oren smirked before he rushed forwards
Another Gaim 'Shinked' his blades and began to commence battle, fighting back with all the strength he had. And seeing as it was multiple on one, he was going to give more than 100%.
"Hiryu. We have to go." Swartz ordered.
"But-!" Hiryu snapped
"He can handle it. They don't have the respective Rider." Swartz answered
"Fine. Let's go." he hissed
"Huh? No! Hiryu!" Sougo called out, about to fight, but Geiz stopped him.
"Sougo! Not now! This problem first!" Geiz answered.
Sougo saw that Swartz and Hiryu had already gone and turned his full attention onto Another Gaim...He wouldn't want to do what he did with the Ryuki RideWatch.
He pulled out the Ride HeiSaber, gripping it tightly
HEY! GAIM!
"Huh?" Another Gaim turned as he heard that, seeing Sougo holding the blade
Sougo gripped the Decade watch and slotted that into the blade as well, while also hitting the button on the Zi-O watch on his belt. He had to go all out!
FINISH TIME!
FINISH TIME!
With the blade shining brightly with power, Sougo slashed
TIME BREAK!
D-D-D-DECADE! GAIM! SCRAMBLE TIME BREAK!
Sougo held the blade up high, a giant pink and orange blade of power held high above his head, before he brought his weapon down with a single powerful slash which cut right through Another Gaim.
The Riders dodged out of the way, seeing Sougo cleave Another Gaim down the centre, thinking that would destroy him.
They saw the Another Rider get split in two, a massive explosion filling the air
KABOOM!
When the dust settled... Another Gaim was gone!
"I... yes! Yes! I did it!" Sougo cheered happily
"Amazing, My King!" Woz smiled as they had beaten it.
...
Or did they?
Another Gaim began to... regrow?
His form began to rise from the vines, like some strange plant zombie
"That. That's not possible." Woz gasped
"It should've worked!" Sougo whispered as Another Gaim had fully grew and reformed.
"You're strong...But I've faced stronger!" Another Gaim spoke and slashed at the Riders, cleaving into Jonouchi with ease.
"Wait... I know that voice!" Zack gasped "Kaito?!"
"Kaito?" The Armoured Riders gasped as they realised that Zack was right.
"Ow..." Jonouchi groaned as he was taken out.
"Zack. You've grown." Kaito calmly responded. "But have you gotten stronger?"
"Kaito... but... you're dead?" Zack muttered
"When has that stopped me?" Kaito answered. "Those weaklings brought me back."
"Weaklings? Hiryu and Swartz?" Sougo asked
"Is that what they're called?" Kaito responded. "Doesn't matter...Now. I've got more strength than before."
He rested the blade on his shoulder, looking at them "They put the RideWatch in my tree... and I hate this. I lost. My strength wasn't enough and I accepted it. To be brought back in such a manor... I refuse to obey. But my body won't let me stop fighting!" As he said that he then rushed forwards, slashing once more
"Kaito! Fight it!" Zack tried to stop, even using his massive knuckles to block the strikes, along with Takatora's shield.
"You were the most stubborn of us, Kaito. You can break through!" Takatora added
Suddenly the light was filled with a blinding golden light
The Riders, all of them, were in shock and awe at the golden radiance of the light they were being bathed in.
Standing there as the light disappeared, was a man. Tall, proud, white-haired with silver armour and plate-mail. Was the being called 'Armoured Rider'; he was the Man of the Beginning. The one who rules a world far from Earth to protect it.
"K-Kouta?" Micchi asked in shock
"Kazuraba." Another Gaim lowered his eyes
"Gaim." Takatora finished
Kouta looked at his friends, saw the Time Riders...and then at Another Gaim. "...What the hell has been going on?"
The man spoke with a voice of confidence. A man of power and wisdom
"Huh?" The Riders asked
"I'm on my planet, protecting the Inves, with my wife. And then all of a sudden, I can't use my Orange Arms? Can't I leave for five minutes without something going bad?" Kouta asked
He looked to the Helheim plants and frowned "And someone is trying to use Helheim for their own plans again! Of course!" he looked up and locked eyes with Another Gaim "Kaito? What happened to you?"
"Some weaklings. Tried to control me...My body won't listen, Kazuraba!" Kaito answered, rushing at him with the twin blades.
Kouta sighed softly...and bitch-slapped the punk away with an effortless 'biff'.
He then closed his hand and pulled his arm back. Suddenly the Another Gaim watch flew through the air and into Kaito's body, making him stiffen for a moment
"It was like Another Ex-Aid." Sougo commented
"Hey, what are you?" Geiz asked
Kouta pondered this for a minute. "I'm kind of like...a Space God." He smirked in response
"... Really?"
Universally, the Armoured Riders responded. "Yes."
The Time Riders looked at them all as they heard that. This guy was a 'God'? And a Space God no less. "O...kay...?" Geiz recoiled a little.
"Err... Here... Mr... Space god?" Sougo said, holding out a blank RideWatch
"Oh?" Kouta asked as he took the blank RideWatch as it glowed with an orange watch face before it formed into a fully-fledged RideWatch.
GAIM!
In Kouta's hand was an orange-based and blue face-plate RideWatch with the symbol of Team Gaim at the top and the number 2013 at the bottom.
"Interesting." he nodded, throwing the watch to Sougo
Sougo awkwardly caught the RideWatch as it was tossed back to him. "Thank you."
Kouta gave a single nod and looked towards where he had slapped Kaito. "He should be back at the tree."
"Can you give us a lift?" Jonouchi joked lightly.
DONK!
"Don't be rude." Oren bonked him on the head with his sword
Suddenly a SengokuDriver formed around Kouta's waist, an open lock already in place, as he held up a golden Lockseed
FRUIT BASKET!
"Huh?" The Time Riders spoke in shock.
"Henshin." Kouta proclaimed calmly as he inserted the golden Lockseed into the side of the open orange one.
A multitude of various mechanical fruits came down and surrounded him.
LOCK OPEN!
KIWAMI ARMS!
*Elsewhere*
Kaito was groaning in his crater, being slapped away by a God hurt after all. "Argh. He's gotten stronger." He smirked in pride, using the swords he had to pull himself to his feet
"Come on, Kazuraba. Fight me with all you've got! I want to see that fire in you again!" He proclaimed
Within a blast of blinding light, the Rider appeared before Kaito. The Space Fruit God!
DAI! DAI! DAI! DAI! DAI SHOGUN! DAI! DAI! DAI! DAI! DAI SHOGUN!
Standing before Kaito was a silver and black armoured Kamen Rider, with a flowing silver cape with red interior, black-gloved with red clasps on his shoulders to keep the cape in place, a black chest-piece with golden markings with coloured depictions of the various fruits and nuts of the Armed Riders, a pointed dome helmet with a golden Team Gaim's logo on the front and a multicoloured, segment-shaped visor. And finally around his waist, was the SengokuDriver and his two Lockseeds, the Golden Fruit and the Kachidoki Orange Fruit.
"Kaito. I know you won't just pass on. And so... Once more, buddy!" Kouta called, throwing his Cape back majestically
Kaito smiled and grabbed his swords. "Bring it! HRARGH!"
CLASH!
Both Kaito and Kouta clashed their respective swords together, pushing the other to their limits.
Sougo was silent as he watched the fight. It was like friends fulfilling an age-old promise
"This is crazy." Geiz admitted
"How?" Woz asked
"I know we've got time travel...but to know that gods exist." Geiz responded
"When you're a Rider, things are thrown out of the window." Takatora answered. "Trust us."
GAIM!
"Huh?" the group blinked, seeing Sougo transform
"Sougo/My King?" Both Geiz and Woz asked in shock.
"Henshin." Sougo spoke, transforming into his new Gaim Armour.
RIDER TIME! KAMEN RI~DER~ ZI-O!
ARMOUR TIME! SOIYA! GA~I~M~!
Appearing from the sky and not in front of him, unlike so many other Armours, was a large double green-lock orange-styled armour with Gaim's face on the front, as it dropped onto Sougo's head it came open. Sougo's legs were armoured with golden shinguards, orange slices on the sides, his thighs were protected by golden plates, with orange crotch-guard additions, his shoulders had two large Orange Lockseeds that were closed, two 'peelings' down his arms' sides for defence and segmented slices on his back that draped down.
The Riders looked on in shock at the Armour. The Armoured Riders were in awe to see those other Riders, like them, could mix their powers. "IWAE!" Woz proclaimed as he began his speech to rejoice for Sougo's new power. "He is the King of Riders! The power and space and time poured into a single moment! His name is Kamen Rider Zi-O, Gaim Armour! And at this moment he shared the power of a god!"
"...Now that's a Hype-Man." Zack commented
"Oh, come on." Sougo groaned as he looked at his armour.
"What's wrong?" Micchi asked
"How am I gonna get through the door now?" Sougo responded, pointing to his extremities.
... And several members of the group falling to the ground in disbelief
Down on the ground, Kouta had switched weapons to the Melon Shield that Takatora uses and blocked the attacks
BUDOU RYUHO!
As he used the shield to deflect one of his foes slashes, he unleashed a barrage of bullets at point-blank range using a copy of Michi's weapon
"ARGH!" Kaito screamed as he was shot and rolled into the ground. "Not. Done. Yet. Kazuraba!"
As he roared, the Helheim fruits began to glow and grow... And Inves monsters emerged
"Big brother, let's help Kouta!" Mitsuzane called
DRAGONFRUITS ENERGY!
"Ah." Takatora nodded as he pulled out a bulky green Lockseed
KACHIDOKI!
LOCK ON! LOCK~ ON~!
LOCK ON!
"Don't lose yourself, Micchi." Takatora added
"I won't, Big brother." Micchi answered
"Henshin!" The two brothers proclaimed as they transfomed.
Takatora had a large melon drop-down above him, his white armour remaining as a green samurai-armoured form, overlapped plate-mail on his thighs and arms, two leg-guard kilts, a green chest-piece with the symbol of Zangetsu on the centre, a golden crest for their headpiece, a golden visor and black markings. And finally, on his back, two flags on poles, with the symbols of Zangetsu emblazoned in them.
SOIYA! KACHIDOKI ARMS! IZA SHUTSUJIN! EI! EI! OH!
Micchi's grape armour fused with a large red armour, which combined in a swirl of energy into a large black box. The box landed on his head and unfolded into a new lot of shoulder, chest and back armour. Along the edges of the chest armour where decorative stickers which showed the cut open inside of a Dragonfruit
MIX! BUDOU ARMS! RYU-HO! HA! HA! HA! JIMBER~ DRAGON~FRUITS~! HAWHAW!
"See? It's not just you." Geiz pointed.
"Shut up." Micchi rolled his eyes.
The two brothers charged in, weapons drawn
"Going down." Sougo responded as he soon followed.
Kouta was pushed back, having been struck by Kaito.
The three other Rider's came crashing down, slashing at the Inves who tried to sneak up on Kouta
"Huh?" Kouta asked as he saw the three.
"Sorry for the delay, Kouta." Micchi apologised.
"Don't be." He smiled, before seeing Sougo's armour. "...Yeah, okay." He threw his current weapons away and smiled "I like you kid. Let's go."
"Yes sir!" Sougo nodded
"Well, Kaito... This is Our Stage now!" Kouta called
Kaito readied his weapons, summoning more Inves from Helheim as he wanted a 'fair fight'. And wanted to enjoy this to its fullest.
PINE IRON! DURI NOKO!
Holding a copy of Oren's sword and a metal pineapple on a chain, the group of Rider's rushed forwards with a mighty roar
Got it, Move... Wow!
The Riders and Inves clashed as they regained the fight, with Kouta facing against a rogue Inves while Sougo attacked Kaito.
Don't Say No JUST LIVE MORE
CLASH!
SLASH!
BASH!
"Hrargh! Big Bro!" Micchi called out, shooting at an Inves behind him.
"Thanks!" Takatora responded, punching and throwing another Inves off of him.
Don't Say No JUST LIVE MORE
Micchi used the Sonic Arrow, the weapon of the Jimber Arms, to shoot and slash at the Inves around them
Sougo grabbed Kaito's arms and tried to fight back, but the 'strength' difference was noticeable; though Sougo had gotten stronger, it was obvious that the determination of Kaito was pushing him past his limits.
Sabaibaru You got move
Gendai wa sanagara sengoku
Kouta swung his pineapple on a chain and swatted the Inves away since these were his creatures, he had to take responsibility.
Dare ga kachinukeru
Kagi wa hirake rarete shimatta
ICHIGO KUNAI! KIWI GEKIRIN!
'How many weapons?' Sougo asked himself, before realising. 'I'm not one to talk.' Before he blocked the attack with his own blades.
"Sougo! Look out!" Micchi called out, shooting at an Inves.
"You too!" he called, doing a cross slash
(Don't Say No JUST LIVE MORE)
"I'm getting fired up!" Kaito proclaimed as he got back up and shot a dark glance at Sougo and Kouta.
Doko ni aru?
Do tsukau?
Kindan no kajitsu
The two shared a glance and smirked before they rushed in
DAIDAIMARU! BANNASPEAR!
Kouta was using an orange sword, identical to the two that Sougo was currently using, alongside a spear made out of a mechanical banana, the weapon Kaito once used
Kaito smirked back and laughed, fighting with all his might while being overwhelmed
"It's been too long, Kouta!" Takatora answered
"I know!" He nodded and continued to fight as the Inves were being destroyed
`Ima' to iu kaze wa nani o tsutaeru tame
KURUMI SPARKLING!
"HA!" Zack roared as he came rocketing down, his fists glowing like suns as his fists came crushing several Inves under his fists
[Omae no moto ni fuku tsuyoku tsuyoku Blowin' up]
DURIAN SQUASH!
DONGRI OLE!
"Huh?" Kaito asked in shock, seeing the remaining Riders fall from the sky. "You're all back?"
"Of course we are." Jonouchi answered
"As I said, Kaito. It's OUR Stage!" Kouta smirked
Ashita ga yume ga mada mienakute mo
[Soko genkai seiippai ikite iru to ierunara]
"Sougo, let's end this!" Kouta called out.
DAIDAIMARU! MUSOUSABRE! HINAWADAIDAI DJ-JU!
Kouta quickly summoned all three weapons and combined the DaiDaiMaru and MusouSaber into the Naginata Mode before then combining the MusouSaber with the DJGun to form the Sojinto Mode
KIWAMI SQUASH!
"SEE-HA!" Kouta called as both blades of his weapon glowed with bright rainbow light. He gave two fast slashes, destroying the Helheim vines and allowing everyone to finish their fights
"Right, Kouta!" Sougo nodded
Both Sougo and Kouta activated their respective Drivers, Kouta slashing his Driver's knife down over his Lockseeds.
CHING!
CHING!
While Sougo pressed his two RideWatches top buttons to activate his finisher.
FINISH TIME!
GAIM!
Utsumuku na yo [kao agero]
doko madede mo [Mageru koto naku]
The two jumped into the air, getting ready
LOCK ON! KACHIDOKI CHARGE!
Takatora's foot dug into the ground, supporting himself before unleashing a massive blast of green energy that destroyed a good amount of Inves
DRAGONFRUIT ENERGY!
Micchi gave a series of rapid slashes with his Sonic Arrow, ripping apart even more Inves with glowing red energy
Shinjita michi o yuke JUST LIVE MORE!
KURUMI SPARKING!
DURIAN SPARKING!
DONGRI SQUASH!
GEIZ! ZAKURI CUTTING!
TIME EXPLOSION!
The three other Armed Rider's alongside Geiz and Woz gave their own strikes, producing shockwaves that destroyed even more Inves
(Don't Say No JUST LIVE MORE)
SQUASH TIME BREAK!
KIWAMI OLE!
"KAZURABA!" Kaito roared loudly and proudly, spreading his arms wide before he jumped into the air to do his own kick
Don't Say No JUST LIVE MORE!
BOOM!
DON'T SAY NO! JUST LIVE MORE~!
As the Riders landed safely, the whole world seemed silent.
Until.
"You...You got me." Kaito panted as electricity sparked around him. "Hey, Zack. Kid." He spoke up to Sougo and Zack. He turned around and saw Kaito, who gave a struggling thumbs up. "You're strong." And his Another Rider body vanished away as the Another RideWatch was destroyed, Kaito's spirit disappearing once again and back into the tree.
"This time may you truly rest in peace... my friend." Kouta sighed
The Riders detransformed, turning back to their original clothing and out of their armours. Panting heavily as they were using muscles they hadn't used in a long time.
"It's good to see you all." Kouta smiled
"It's been what? Seven years? What've you been doing?" Micchi asked with a smile
"Well... Mai is pregnant."
...
"Congratulations!" Oren cheered and hugged him in a playful manner. "This is cause for a celebration!"
"I shall personally create a series of the greatest treats you could imagine!" Jounochi said happily
"I'm sure Mai would like that." Kouta laughed as he heard all this, catching up with all of his friends.
Sougo saw this and chuckled lightly...This. Right here and now, was one of the more important reasons to become a Kamen Rider. The comrades you make along the way.
*time skip*
"It's been great to see you all again." Kouta spoke as they all hung out at Oren's bakery as he had reverted to looking like a normal human.
"It's been good to see you've been okay too." Micchi added
"I can't believe you all met these people within one day." Junichiro commented as he was with his nephew and his friends now
"Yeah." Sougo laughed "And we have two days of vacation left."
"My feet hurt...Too much leaping." Wol commented as he rubbed his foot over his shoe.
"It's good for you to get some exercise." Aura answered as she took a bite out of her tart. "Hmm~!"
"So~. You're this 'skilled artisan' I've heard about?" Oren asked, going over to Wol.
"Huh? A-Aura. You didn't!" Wol panicked as he was getting creeped out.
"She did." Alpina and Sougo nodded
"Why don't you show me your skills?" Oren smiled, wanting to see Wol in action.
"...help." He squeaked
*2068*
CRASH!
"DAMN THEM!" Oma Zi-O snarled as he had crushed a building with his energy blast. Loss after loss, hearing that Swart couldn't even access the powers of Gaim in that timeline. "Time after time...Fine. If it's 'strength' that's required...I'll make the STRONGEST Future Rider there is!" As he grabbed a large chunk of Green Quartz, a large chunk of Black Quartz and the designs needed for a new Rider. "Let them all fall! A storm from the heavens itself!" As Oma Zi-O poured power into the Green Quartz, it began to take shape, with a golden ring around it.
