Shooting Star Dragon 3000: LET LOOSE! THE DRUMS OF WAR!
Dragon Rider 66: We said multiple times this is a test run. Throwing out ideas. Also why would we write about RealXTime without seeing it? Seems weird. Look out for the proper Zero One Revised for that.
Also what the heck are you talking about there at the end?
Spidey Viewer: It wasn't that the Shine System was copied, since he knew about it. Just shocked that's what he chose to use.
MKDemiGodzilla-Warrior: We never said we wouldn't do something like this. We said he wouldn't be redeemed and Gai wouldn't be a threat again. Different.
Also I am 99% sure this is what they where planning Ark being the host for Ark One. With how completely villainous they wrote Gai before the break, and even several episodes after, as well as Ark One's design including the ZAIA Speks on his chest it just felt... obvious.
Here are a few reviews answered by Ghost:
furyuu: Yeah, it's a curse when you see the ending.
Toa Solaric: I know we can be sadistic, but we're not THAT cruel.
MKDemiGodzilla-Warrior: Well, I think that was the plan. Gai's actor loved Faiz and the way it was going he was going to be the next Kaixa. So anyone who saw the connections could see the writing on the wall.
Spidey Viewer: If you think about it, Ark and Gai are similar. They're both egotistical sociopaths.
Shooting Star Dragon 3000: Get your weapons out SSD, it's time.

Kamen Rider Zero One
Hiden Bodyguards
Chapter 10: REALXEYEZ The Future!
It was a few hours later, seventeen hours remaining.
Izu was put into a healing chamber; the 3D printer was repairing her body while her mind remained stable. But there was no guarantee it would last. The damage she received... She might not be able to survive
Aruto was silent, he was bandaged and lost in his fears while everyone was trying to clean the Zero One lab
"At least the lab is salvageable," Yua whispered to herself.
"You call this 'salvageable?" Jin commented.
"It's better than 'totally destroyed, Jin." Naki answered, helping out.
"How's the President?" Raiden asked, to which he was met with silence.
"That bastard!" Zouy snarled
SLAM!
She left a dent in the wall from her rage. "What gives them the right to do this? To trample on everyone."
"Zouy!" Yua gasped
Her headset began to glow red, feeling the intense hatred she had for the monster who almost destroyed her sister. "I. I want!" Zouy hissed "To... to hurt him!"
Yumi was sitting in the corner, choking back tears as her own headset was starting to turn red itself. Her heart giving into despair "Big sis..." She cried
"This isn't fair!" Hitomi whined "We-we fight and fight; and for what? Just to be knocked down by a bully who hides behind anonymity and hot air?"
Crash!
Yukiko had screamed as she flipped a table "Why do we have to suffer for others amusement?!" She yelled angrily "Why, when we win, it just makes everything worse! What did we do to deserve this?!" Yukiko's headset was glowing a hateful red, feeling the frustration and rage caused by Oku and his damnable powers.
Meanwhile everyone else in the room was feeling fear as they looked at the four
They felt afraid of them. Seeing the humble and kind Bodyguards were falling into the spiral of hate and anger that Oku had dug for them. Infecting them. Everyone was afraid they could turn into monsters in any second
The four sisters, just... seemed broken. They could become just as bad, if not worse, than Ark...
"Stop!" Shesta suddenly yelled, getting the four's attention
"Shesta?" Yukiko asked as they looked at her.
"Arguing among each other isn't going to help." She answered "Do you really think that this is what she wants?!"
The four of them listened and observed Shesta, their burning red headsets calming down. They looked down, now feeling guilty about their anger and shame for nearly loosing themselves to their grief. With their headsets blue once more they looked at their sister, their minds a bit clearer
"Now." Shesta composed herself. "You need to think of President Aruto."
"President Aruto?" they asked
Shesta nodded as she walked across the room.
The place was silent as no one knew what to say or do, everyone was tense right now after all.
Shesta walked towards Aruto, who was still silent as he looked at the healing Izu "President Aruto." Shesta spoke with a respectful but commanding voice which made Aruto finally look away from the 3D Printer, looking at the red clad secretary of the companies Vice President
"Sh-Shesta." Aruto looked at her with a whisper, his voice cracking a bit. Her voice sounded
"I know you are hurting; but will you continue being upset?" She asked as she reached up. Her gloved hand gently held his cheek, looking into his eyes "I don't think Izu would want this for you." she said calmly as her blue eyes shimmered softly in kindness
There was a moment of silence... before Aruto just simply walked away
"President Aruto!" Shesta gasped, chasing after him
"Hey, wait!" Hitomi yelled as chased after them
Yukiko, Zouy and Yumi looked on and then followed, leaving MetsuBou JinRai and the A.I.M.S. Riders alone in the room with the recovering Izu.
An uncomfortable silence filled the room until
...
"I need some air." Fuwa suddenly huffed and went a different direction
"I'll go with you." Naki stated and followed
"Do what you want." he grumbled
Horobi sighed as he looked at Yua, Jin and Raiden. And began to leave himself. "Where're you going?" Raiden asked.
"If I stay, you'll think I'll destroy Izu. I'm just going outside." He answered "I will keep watching, in case he attacks."
"On your own?" Jin asked.
"Yes. And out of all of us, I've been a Rider the longest." He remarked and left.
"Out of those left." Yua said sadly
*with Oku*
Azu looked on sadly as Oku laughed
He still remained in his blackened suit form, not his fully transformed state... but he was revealing in the power he controlled. No-one could touch him. No-one. And the only person that could? Broken. He was a god on Earth!
"Ore no... KAMI DAAAA!" he laughed to the sky
'This... is my Master?' Azu thought in disgust... and distrust, as she thought of everything that has happened since she first saw the light of day
At first, she thought Ark-Sama was perfect. Truly a being worth beyond its limitations; then her master's originator, the one who instilled his personality and ideals that humanity was a terrible race that needed to be destroyed. But seeing their egos clash and merge, forming this new being with such an inflated ego and pride. It made her feel stick to her metaphorical stomach. And thinking about the past... had her master really been- had her Ark-Sama actually been perfect?
"AZU-HA-HA-HA! This world will finally know what I've been planning! They'll see their folly in denying me! For sending me away! For ignoring my existence! I'll show them all!"
Her master...
He was a warrior of the dark path. He was the emissary for all that was terrible in life. The despair of betrayal, the selfishness of people, the cold anger and hatred they all felt. The totality of sadness and how it, how grief, can rip apart even the closest knit of families. Envy, jealousy and selfishness where all aspects that dictated humanities economy and progress. The inevitability of these beings creating their own ruin, destroying themselves. The truth that was death and extinction.
Ark was the messenger of the 'truth of darkness', and through this fusion with Gai Amatsu she discovered how that human was the exact same as her master.
...
And yet... hadn't the positive emotions of the Kamen Rider's defeated him, defeated BOTH of them, again and again and again?
The thankfulness and love of HumaGear freeing Aruto Hiden from Ark's control wit the MetalCluster Hopper Key, thanks to the Progrise Hopper Blade, and in doing so also ruining Gai's plans?
The support of people wanting to do the right thing, and revealing how horrible Gai was, caused Hiden Aruto to defeat ZAIA in the Work Place competition
Isamu Fuwa's kindness freed Naki from both ZAIA and Ark
The love Hiden Aruto and his HumaGear had for each other allowed them to defeat Gai Amatsu once and for all
...
Hiden Aruto's hope and dreams lead to Ark's death and the creation of Kamen Rider Zero Two
Where these positive emotions not always coming out victorious, even if they at first struggle against the dark? Even drowned out, their light always penetrated... and won?
Where they not stronger?
Where they not... the truth?
"... Zu? Azu! Are you ignoring me?!" Oku roared, glaring down at her. "I won't be ignored, you bitch!"
"Huh?" she blinked, snapping from her thoughts. She was shocked for several reasons; being lost in thought, her masters anger... and the language he had used
"Did you listen to what I said, whore?" He glared down at her. "Or are you so fucking useless that you malfunctioned?"
"I-Master?" she blinked at his language and his... aggression
He reached down and grabbed her hair, pulling her upwards. "Useless bitch; why don't you just fucking die?" And threw her to the ground. "You're nothing compared to me."
"Gah!" she yelled in pain and shock
"You where never anything to me!" he hissed darkly "You have always been a... pet! A tool! A toy!"
"A-Ark-Sama?" she stuttered in disbelief... and Oku started laughing
"Ark-Sama?!" he mocked "Oh, you are just a stupid bitch! I! Have! Never! Cared! About! You! You existed to simply prove a point! You are worthless outside of being a mockery of that Izu toy of Hiden's, and to tell people how stupid they for going against the truth I calculated!"
Azu heard it. Her master's voice was overpowering Gai's in the fusion... this was her Master's thoughts of her
"You are pathetic, and worthless, and useless!" Oku continued to rant and belittle her, suddenly kicking her in the face "So just stay here in the dirt and rust into nothing! Your current job, tool, is to listen to me and you can't even do that!" And then Oku turned away... and left
Azu was shaking and reached out to him "N-No! Ark-Sama!" she said in heartbreak "Ark-Sama! Please! Ark-Sama! Ark-Sama!"
Drip
Drip
Azu did not notice it, but water was flowing down her cheeks as she reached out for the monster
"P-Please! A-Ark-Sama! Don-Don't! Ark-Sama!"
She was openly crying now, weeping, as she reached out for him... and her arm fell to the floor, her body curling in on itself
"Ark-Sama... please... Don't... don't leave me..." she begged as she cried
She hugged herself, hearing his shoes crunching on the ground, as he walked away
"Don't... Don't leave me alone..."
*with Fuwa and Naki*
Fuwa and Naki were standing outside of Hiden Intelligence, the pair thinking about the fight ahead...and how neither got any sleep yet. Not that Naki needed sleep but...
"Are you sure you should stay awake?" Naki asked as they stood outside the destroyed building
Fuwa had lost his suit jacket, leaning against the buildings wall with his arms crossed "I doubt I could if I wanted to." he admitted
"You're too stubborn when you're like this." Naki retorted. "You need energy."
"I'm fine." Fuwa answered. "Who can sleep at a time like this?"
Naki frowned and reached up, resting their hand on his arm "I understand. But you need to do your best to keep yourself in the best of condition. I... I don't want you to die."
"You said it yourself, Naki. I'm too stubborn to die." He remarked, making them smile.
"That's true." Naki nodded, before making a move
The world slowed... and suddenly Naki's lips where pressed against Fuwa's
Fuwa's eyes widened, feeling the soft feminine lips that Naki's body had against his in a kiss. He tried to back off, shocked that Naki had done this... and honestly, he didn't know what to think right now!
He didn't even get to try and take a step away from them, his back against the dirty wall. His white shirt was heavily stained in less than a moment as Naki continued to kiss him... and he quickly decided he didn't care.
Fuwa wrapped his arms around his arms around Naki's closing his eyes and returning the kiss. Naki was stunned at this, but honestly happy. It was... nice. They returned the kiss, the two happily holding each other as they let their lips slide against each others in deep passion
'F-Fuwa.' Naki thought to themself as a hand slid down to their waist, the other holding their head softly. Fuwa backed off a little, breaking the kiss as they saw Fuwa's wild eyes glaring at them. "F-Fuwa. You." they panted
"You are amazing." Fuwa admitted to Naki "I am... having trouble holding back." he added, and laughed nervously "As you know from being in my head, I haven't... for a while."
"Considering everything? Yeah. I fully know." Naki answered, biting their lower lip "I... am surprised you aren't freaking out about this, or pushing me back."
"Naki. This has been unsaid between us since we first became Rampage." he responded
Naki gulped a little, knowing what Fuwa was talking about but didn't say. 'We-We're wolves.'
They really where a pair
...
"Our future will be different." Naki admitted with a smile
"I don't think so. We fit well together." he nodded and chuckled softly "Besides, I didn't really want kids anyway." he added as he saw the look in Naki's eyes
"Hmm. Being in your head, we know each other too well." Naki nodded
"Yeah." he agreed "... This gives me just another reason not to die."
"Good." Naki nodded
*with Yua and Jin*
Yua and Jin had finished cleaning up as much as they could and considering what Shesta and the others had said...it was just difficult to talk about.
...
"Do you regret remaking me?" Jin suddenly asked
Yua froze in place for a moment, thinking about what she was going to say. "There... are days. Were days." She answered. "You were trouble for us for a time, but... I don't blame you."
"But if you didn't remake me, then Ark would not be our foe right now. He would not have awakened." Jin muttered bitterly
Yua sighed regretfully and nodded. "I know, I know." She commented in guilt, her hands on her hips "But... It isn't that simple Jin."
"Can you explain? I just... I need to know." He frowned.
"With or without you, Ark would have found a way. Spread itself into Horobi. Find a way to revive you itself. Use another HumaGear in your place." Yua explained "There where probably thousands of scenarios it came up with to revive itself. Jin, your experience is not a mistake."
"Then... I'm not a mistake." Jin realised. "Coming back was... probably the best outcome?"
"Yes." She smiled "ESPECIALLY for your family. Because you had free choice."
Jin smiled weakly back at her and felt relieved. "Guess I've got a reason to fight more now."
"Exactly." She nodded, looking to the sky "After all... AIMs is going to need Metsubo Jinrai's help with keeping the peace in DayBreak Town once the place had finished being restored."
"Well, you've got my help. I know that much." Jin responded. "Hopefully, people will forgive us for what we did."
"They will. You just have to earn it." Yua responded, gripping her key tightly
*With Horobi*
Horobi was outside of the building, his ForceRiser on his belt and Key already in his hand, he wasn't going to be taken by surprise at any moment. His nerves were still shot because of Oku and his devastation... but he needed to make this right. He was trying hard, trying to remember his life before Ark. He thought and thought, going back a decade's worth of memories... but it was a black haze over everything. All there was, was Ark. And MetsuBou JinRai.
"Yo." Raiden called
"Huh? Oh, Raiden." Horobi turned around to see him.
"You've gotten use to it." Raiden commented
"Of course I have." Horobi answered "You are my brother."
Raiden sighed and looked at Horobi. "Want to talk?"
"What's to talk about?" He responded
"I dunno; maybe to speak what's on your mind?" Raiden snarked. "C'mon, talk to me. We're the two old guys here."
"Old?" Horobi asked, looking insulted
"We're both 4th generation make...kinda." Raiden responded as he laughed at Horobi's defensiveness "... What do you think you'll do after this battle?"
"Defend this place? Leave? Maybe try and get back to my core programming." He answered, unintentionally tugging at his headband to mean his old headset "I guess... Whatever I can do to discover who I am without the Ark."
"Yeah, that makes sense." Raiden answered, leaning against the wall of the building.
"What about you?" Horobi asked
"I'll probably go back into space." Raiden answered. "Maybe I'll have my feet on the ground for a while."
Horobi nodded, looking slightly unsure
"Maybe you'll figure something out." Raiden answered. "Hell, I think Naki's got their life sorted now."
"Most likely." He smiled
"I'm gonna see if Subaru is okay. I'll be back in a bit." Raiden followed up. "Don't do anything stupid while I'm gone."
"When have I done something stupid?" He scoffed
Raiden chuckled and gave a thumbs up before he disappeared to find his brother.
Horobi was alone again, and looked to the sky as he gripped the ForceRiser and the Scorpion Key
*With Azu*
The copy of Izu was walking through the 'Ark space'. The endless black interface where red shaking kanji scrolled by and the endless screams of pain and hatred echoed to your soul. She was walking, her eyes hollow. What... what was she to do now?
She was alone. Her Master wanted her gone
She might as well do as he wished and just wander eternally until her data degraded into nothing "Ark-Sama... I'll die here. I'll fade away, as you want." She cried, walking into the darkness
"Do you really want that?" A kind and gentle voice asked among the tempest of screams and agony which made her stop in shock.
"Wh-Who's there?" She called out. She turned on her heel, looking around desperately 'How can someone be here?' She thought. 'It's impossible.' As she turned again, she looking into the red-lettered inky abyss. "Show yourself!"
The sound of footsteps could be heard... and the red kanji seemed to part and fly away, like they where avoiding the man
Walking towards Azu was a kindly looking man, a HumaGear. Black haired, wearing a black shirt under a silvery blue leather jacket, blue jeans and a pair of black boots. His headset, the giveaway, was that of an older model; fourth Generation. And this man... he looked familiar in some way. Something about his face. It was an attractive face, and she was sure she saw a similar one grinning in a way that made her...
"It is nice to finally meet you Azu." The man stated "My name... Is Soren. Soren Hiden."
*With Aruto*
Aruto had stopped running, he was somewhere away from Hiden intelligence and could feel his exhaustion catch up with him. He sat down on a bench with his head in his hands. Behind him Shesta and the bodyguards kept watch. The four sisters felt guilty, exhaustion... seeing Aruto like this hurt their hearts.
...
"Screw this." Hitomi suddenly said as she walked forwards and sat next to him
"Hitomi." Yumi reached out.
Aruto remained motionless as he head Hitomi sit next to him. Only to move when he felt a hand on his back.
"It's... Okay to be sad." She urged softly "We are here for you." Aruto felt choked up, feeling his throat close as he didn't want to cry... but it hurt his heart so much. She held him softly... And leaned against him, closing her eyes "Big sis won't leave you." Hitomi promised "And neither would we."
"But what if? What if I can't protect you?" Aruto asked sadly. "You'll be hurt because of me."
"You're wrong!" The normally shy Yumi called
Hitomi and Aruto looked back, seeing the four remaining HumaGear women there. "Yumi." Her sister whispered as Yumi walked over and sat next to Aruto on his other side
"We'll fight alongside you, but you can't blame yourself if we get hurt because of others." Yumi answered "We are our own people, President. And it is our choice to fight alongside you. Our choice to defend you. To fight endanger ourselves."
"And it's our job to protect you." Zouy followed up. "We were made for that purpose." as she walked up forwards seriously, taking a stop behind him "You don't have to bear that responsibility solely on your shoulders." she stated as she wrapped her arms around his neck and chest
"Yukiko?" Hitomi looked at her older sister, the last sister left alone
"I... Have never been good with this sort of thing." She frowned as she walked forwards calmly, next to Zouy, and joined the hug. Like Zouy, she hugged Aruto from behind. Her arms joined Zouy's, wrapping around Aruto's neck and shoulders
Shesta continued to look on, smiling gently as she saw this.
"But... You, and my sister's. You... Are my most precious people." Yukiko continued
"... You're mine too." He answered, holding their hands weakly while feeling Yumi and Hitomi holding him close by his arms
Shesta walked around the bench, her heels clicking with her hands folded in front of her red clad thighs "President Aruto." She asked, looking at him.
"Shesta?" He asked, looking up at her
"You're never alone." She responded, looking into his eyes as she made sure to sit on his lap
Aruto gulped as he was now 'surrounded' by women. Feeling his hands shaking right now. Surrounded by people who loved him. Aruto shook lightly and pushed his head into Shesta's neck
And he cried
Shesta raised her hand and gently patted his head reassuringly. It was a very intimate moment, as Shesta parted his head softly and loving fashion "It's okay, President Aruto. We are all here for you. We all love you. Just cry."
"Just cry, President." Yumi repeated
"Let it all out." Hitomi nodded
"We are here to help support your burden." Yukiko added
"The burden of the business... And your heart." Zouy finished
"So let it all out, President Aruto. The world needs you. And you will stand up to the task, we know you will win." Shesta encouraged "But for now... You need us. So let it all out."
And let it out he did.
Aruto cried, letting out all the pain and sadness this war has given him this past year... Surrounded by love
*With Azu*
Azu looked at this being, seeing him before her... she didn't know who this was but, he was kind.
"It is nice to finally meet you Azu." The man before Azu stated, the darkness and hatred of Ark's world parting as if the evil itself was terrified of him "My name... Is Soren. Soren Hiden."
"'Hiden'? Y-You're Aruto's father!" She gasped in shock. "You created the Driver!""Yes." he nodded with a proud smile "I did. To counter the Ark... and my son has exceeded all of my expectations with it."
"He's certainly done that. But Ark... He's too powerful." Azu frowned.
"He isn't. True, he has powers similar to Aruto and Zero-Two, but he isn't stronger." Soren answered "And he isn't alone. Ark fights alone. An island. An might war ship... of hate and nothing more. But Aruto? Ha, my boy has a fleet of dreams that are Rising to Glory alongside him!"
"You sound hopeful." She sniffed gently, looking at him.
"Very much so." he nodded simply "What about yourself?"
"Me? I. I'm not... After what Ark-what they said and did... I don't know my purpose anymore." She admitted.
"And that is a bad thing?" he asked as he took a step forwards, his hand cupping her cheek in a fatherly manor
"I. I don't know. I was created for a single purpose, to serve Ark. And now he's discarded me... I don't know what to do." She admitted
"Tell me about yourself, Azu." he urged softly "Tell me... about when you where first created."
"When I was first created?" she asked, her headset flashing a few different directions before the world had changed
Suddenly they where in Ark's little hidden base, where Azu's body was finished being created. The Past Azu's eyes opened, her blue eyes flashing as she came online
"Ark-Sama... created me using Izu's data." Azu explained "From... my big sister's blue prints." she admitted finally "A copy of her. A shadow."
Time fast forwarded for them, a screen appearing before Past Azu. It was showing Azu... everything of the outside world. That Izu was seeing, at least
"He showed the the negatives of humanity and HumaGear. He showed me how... dirty and disgusting it all was." Azu frowned as her past self watched Gai's machinations and the darkness of other people held and openly showed
"But that was not all, was it?" Soren added
"No." she frowned and held back tears. She knew, she knew there was no reason to hide. She couldn't hide at ALL!
"What else was there?" Soren added
...
"I hated her." Azu hissed bitterly "I hated... my big sister! I HATED IZU!"
A silence fell between the two as the real Azu span around to face Soren, her hair flying wildly around her, while Past Azu was glaring at the screen before her as said screen showed a smiling Izu standing side by side with Aruto
"Why did you hate her?" Soren asked calmly.
"Because... why?!" Azu snapped and shook lightly "Why... why did I have to suffer?! Why did I have to alone!? Why was -she- the lucky one?! To get to see the bright happiness of the world?! To get to laugh?! To be surrounded by people?! To fall in love?! I've been... alone! Alone! Here! Filled with hate and jealousy and everything!" Azu then fell to her knees, finally crying deeply
Soren knelt down and embraced her like a parent, letting her cry into his arms. "It's okay."
"H-Huh?" she blinked
"I know it wasn't fair for you. But you can make the change now." Soren answered as the darkness of Azu's 'old home' faded away
"I can... change it?" she asked
"Of course you can. Your future is yours to change and get away from the past." He answered as he held her face gently in her hands
"But... how?" she muttered and looked down weakly "And... would those I hurt even... accept me, believe me and forgive me?"
"Trust and patience. Be honest with them." He responded as light formed in his hands...
*with Aruto*
It was hour four and everyone was finally catching some sleep... besides Aruto. He was standing before the chamber that was fixing Izu. He rested his hand on the screen while he looked at her. "Izu." He whispered gently.
"Huh? Pr-Aruto?" Yua yawned as she walked in
"Oh, Yua. Sorry, did I wake you?" He apologised.
"No, no. I... I just got up." She yawned "I know we can't sleep for too long. I've got as much as I can."
"I see." he nodded, blinking at her attire. She was wearing much casual attire, a long-sleeved pale blue shirt, a pair of white jeans and sneakers. Definitely, something Aruto didn't think she'd wore.
"Are you okay, Aruto?" she asked
"Yeah, you just look good." he nodded
She tucked her hair behind her ear gently as she heard that. "Thank you. If this was my last sleep, I'd at least want to be comfy."
"It won't be." Aruto promised... before he suddenly punched the wall
Yua flinched as she saw that, seeing Aruto's reaction and felt nervous around him.
"That... That monster." Aruto muttered, shaking softly
Yua frowned and hugged Aruto from behind. "I know. I'm sorry."
"This... This is all... Gai Amatsu." He mumbled sadly
"I know, but we'll beat him. He'll be stopped." She answered.
"Why... Why is he so terrible? Why did I give him so many chances?" Aruto hissed
"... Because you see the good in people. You see the potential of good in HumaGears. You're a good person; and Gai? Gai isn't. He's the part of the worst of humanity. He just sees it as his playground to spread discord and hate. All for his gain so he doesn't feel hollow." She answered.
"... Thank you." he sighed weakly "But... I need to stop this."
"I know, but you're not alone in this." She answered, turning him around and looked into his face.
The President was silent, looking into the eyes of the brilliant engineer
"You've got us. Me, Yukiko, Zouy. All of us." she explained softly "We can do this. You can do this, Zero Two... will save us."
"I'll pave the way for your dream." he nodded softly
"Fulfill yours first." she smiled softly and kissed him
Aruto blinked in slight shock before closing his eyes, kissing her back softly. He hoped Izu would be better, but at the same time he accepted her...
*time skip*
It was four hours later...
Aruto stood before Hiden Intelligence, alone. All possible casualties, civilians and Hiden workers, for a five mile radius had been evacuated by AIMs. He stood there, holding the Zero Two Driver, as Oku approached him
"Well, it seems you've come." Oku smirked darkly. "Come to your funeral."
Aruto was silent, gripping his driver
"Nothing to say? No 'clever jokes'? No quips?" Oku remarked before he started laughing "Oh god! You finally get it, don't you?!" Oku mocked
Aruto was still silent, just hearing the remarks this bastard was throwing out. It was the start of a torrent of abuse.
"You finally understand how I feel! How I see the world!" Oku laughed "After I killed that slut secretary of yours! You -hate- me now, don't you?! You want to kill me don't you?! You understand how HORRIBLE the universe is!"
Aruto closed his eyes, looking inwards as he heard Oku laugh. "I... pity you."
...
"What?"
"Everything you say. Everything you've done. I... Pity you. You tear down everything you don't like. Something doesn't go your way, you lash out and hurt people." Aruto answered calmly as he held his Key. "You feel big when you hurt others, that it makes you feel strong and important. But all you are really, is small, insecure... and afraid."
ZERO TWO DRIVER!
"You push others away. You are scared of connections, thinking they will make you weak." Aruto continued "Maybe that's why you did the stupid thing and teach Ark, your own creation, about malice."
"'Af-Afraid'? You think I'm 'afraid'?" Oku roared as he grabbed his Key.

"I'll show you F̸̤́E̴͓͈͆͛A̸̹̽R̶̛̰̊!̶͇͚̄͊" he snarled evily and he slammed the Key into his belt in a fit of frustration and rage towards Aruto.

The billowing black mists erupted out of Oku as he gestured in anger and supremacy, turning into his most vile form.

Aruto frowned and flicked open the Driver and opened his Key.
ZERO TWO JUMP!
Let's Give You Power! Let's Give You Power!
"Henshin!" She called out and slotted his Key into the belt.
"NO YOU DON'T!" Ark One roared and slammed his first into his belt, launching a massive wave of darkness at Aruto. He moved so fast, throwing the attack at the hero before Aruto had a chance to slot his key

Boom!
Flames rose in front of Hiden Intelligence, the young president wrapped in flames in a second
BOOM!
Aruto's screams where washed out by the flames
KABOOM!
The explosions made sure nothing was left, that Oku's target would be forever gone

Kamen Rider Ark One stood there in shock for a few moments... Before his form began to shake
And he laughed
"Hehe... Hehe... hahaha... BWAHAHAHAHAHAHHAHA!" Oku laughed "HE'S DEAD! HE'S FINALLY DEAD! I'VE WO-"
ZERO TWO RISE!
"I saw that coming from a mile away." Aruto stated
Oku turned silent in disbelief, the smoke clearing as a yellow and red grasshopper burst out in victorious jumps
Aruto stood calmly and victoriously, the large hologram of Zea forming around him and becoming Zero Two's base suit
Road To GLORY HAS TO! Lead To GLORY PATH TO CHANGE!
ONE TO TWO!
Kamen Rider Zero Two!
Aruto's body was formed by Zea, the yellow and red Grasshoppers as they gave Aruto their full power... and the strength to beat Ark-One
The forms eyes closed brightly, the Quantum Muffler flowing in the wind
IT'S NEVER OVER~!
Ark-One's rage fulled him, his hatred over flowing. Why couldn't everyone see that the world was just as rotten as he was?!
The two stood there, slowly walking towards each other
They were like two predators sizing the other up. One representing chaos and hatred, the other dreams and unity. Both a mirror of each other as they had their fists clenched and both of them were analysing what the other would do first.
Suddenly they both rushed at each other
There was a blur of movements , a series of blows delivered and blocked in a fraction of a moment, before they came to a stop with their backs to the other
Aruto had scuff marks on his body, small places where Ark-One had managed to get a good hit... but Ark was scuffed even more. Aruto was faster and could punch harder. The two stood back to back... Before spinning and throwing a harsh punch at the other. Ark One's fist collided with Aruto's cheek while Zero Two's fist connected on Oku's face, sparks flew as the pair began to up their pace and strike fiercely.
The two began to trade blow for blow, before Aruto suddenly vanished
Ark One's eyes widened as he lost Aruto for that moment, falling forwards and cursing him as a coward for leaving only for the armoured boot of Zero Two to kick him in the back of the head. Ark One's head crashed into the dirt, seeing gravel fill his vision as he dragged along the ground. He growled angrily, pulling himself up and punched the ground. How did he miss that? His predictions should be the pinnacle over all!
Fight and you can do everything to ascend, go
He jumped up and span, throwing a knee strike.
Aruto leaned back, the attack missing him by an inch. Aruto let the white armoured knee get a micrometer from his own chest and as soon as the strike passed over him the Rider quickly stood straight once more
Find a new life, everybody, what's the wait?
Ark One landed, raising an arm to block a punch thrown by Zero Two. The dirt scrapped up as Aruto's boots dug into it, as he was pushed back, but he wasn't overwhelmed
You deserve it
Not yet
"Not yet." Aruto whispered. Once again he vanished as Ark One threw another blow. The Rider reappeared behind Ark One, launching the Shine System
That's alright, check the mirror, trust your projects
The crystals shone brightly as they zoomed around Ark One and blasting him from every direction. Said Rider stumbled a bit in shock from the surprise, Aruto shooting forwards once more
If it's something you have never seen before
SLAM!
The red fist slammed into Ark One's chest, making the white armour dent lightly
"Damn you... Hiden!" he hissed
Fight and you can do everything to ascend, go
ALL! SHOTRISE!
"Huh?" Ark One blinked as he turned around, and saw the hoard of animals rushing at him "No!" he snarled, launching a wave of darkness at the animals, knocking them all back
"HA!" Fuwa called as he came rushing down, slamming his foot into Oku's face before his armour began to take shape
Find a new life, everybody, what's the wait?
GATHERING ROUND!
RAMPAGE GATLING!
"You... stray... dog!" Oku snarled as Fuwa stood tall
"We are fighting... for our futures." Fuwa snarled, punching his fist with all his might as steam shot off the Rampage Vulcan suit.
You deserve it
HIDEN SHOTRISE!
Ark One yelled in pain as a barrage of bullet animals hit him harshly. The bullets span around and rushed back
BUILDING GROUND!
Kamen Rider Valkyrie in her newest form rushed by and jumped, using her hand to bounce off Vulcan's shoulder as she slammed her foot into Ark One's chest
That's alright, check the mirror, trust your projects
FREEDOM JACKAL!
Coming from the sidelines, both Fuwa and Yua coming in for the rescue in their final forms; arriving to end Gai's reign of terror after so long. The two held their ShotRiser's tightly, their guns shinning lightly
"Gai, this ends now!" Yaiba called out
If it's something, by mistake
"Bang." Fuwa aimed his ShotRiser at Oku's stomach and fired.
If it's something, go to say
'Guys.' Aruto thought in shock as Oku threw Fuwa off his body, 'uninjured' but more enraged right now.
If it's something you have never seen before
As Fuwa stumbled back, doubling over a bit, Yua did a roll over his back and slammed her foot into his belt. Fuwa then recovered, opening fire at Ark One's legs
Hey, make you height
Judgment make a right?
Aruto unleashed his Quantum Armour Cell's, blocking the shots Ark One unleashed from a summoned Attache Shotgun
At the same time, Yua rushed on by, doing a sweep kick that knocked Ark One off his feet
There's two ways you always rest on your heart
Your carefulness is not finalized
The evil Rider snarled as he stood up, slamming the Key in his belt with all his might
P̸̻͝Ĕ̴̗͆R̷̦͛F̵̢̹́Ȇ̷͎̓C̸̺̭͗Ṭ̵͗̒ͅ ̵̤̀̆C̷̫̯̓Ō̷͓̘̾N̵͍͛C̷̡̳̎̈́L̸̡͖̅̄U̷̝̇̃Š̵̘̲͋Ǐ̷̙͈͘O̶̭͍̽N̶̻͋̏!̸͈̒̂
He span around and slashed his leg, the attack shooting from his high kick as a wave of darkness that rushed at her
It's already decided, it's on your own
She yelled as she was thrown back, being span in the air
Suddenly Aruto seemed to appear out of nowhere, catching her in his arms in a princess carry. She looked into his eyes through his visor and thanked him, while he nodded back in response, landing safely.
Too many kind, takes so low, depressed
Fuwa grunted as he got back to his feet, rotating his Key's drum to ready an attack.
ELEMENT! RAMPAGE!
You find out the low who feel you want some way
RAMPAGE ELEMENT BLAST!
Shooting from his hands was a torrent of flame and a blast of cold, connecting and freezing Ark One in place as he burned him and roundhouse kicked in the air with the Scorpion's stinger.
STING UTOPIA!
Ark One turned and was impaled by two stingers coming its way, penetrating through its chest and flinging them back.
Save it for the rest, don't care for the fear
FLYING DYSTOPIA!
Large glowing pink feather blades shot through the air, a barrage of blades that slashed through Ark One's armour and sparked through his form
Just starting your direction of future
Kamen Rider's Jin and Horobi landed by the group, Jin retracting his wings as Horobi's stinger returned to it's holster
"You five... together?" Ark One hissed
"Of course!" Aruto called as he took a step forwards
Fight and you can do everything to ascend, go
"We all have dreams we want to fight for, futures we want to achieve." Yua stated
"We have loved ones to protect." Horobi added, looking at Jin for a moment
Find a new life, everybody, what's the wait?
"You like to think everyone is just like you... well it's my rule to be better than that." Fuwa scoffed
You deserve it
"We all want to fight for a brighter tomorrow!" Jin called "To have out own destines!"
That's alright, check the mirror, trust your projects
"And so... we fight together to win." Aruto proclaimed proudly
If it's something you have never seen before
"STOP SCREWING WITH ME!" Ark One roared. His body began to spark with the vicious red lightning and shot it out at them, causing explosions all around them.
The group stood there as the lightning shot past them. Aruto was in the middle, Fuwa on his right and Yua next to him, while on Aruto's left was Horobi with Jin at the end. Their eyes all glowed... before they rushed forwards
Fight and you can do everything to ascend, go
Jin took to the sky, spinning and zooming around the lightning, while Yua dashed forwards. Her gun was drawn, blasting at the lightning and splintering it
You could see the bullets, shinning bronze, rushing through the air. As it hit a lightning bolt, it split in twain like an arrow piercing another arrow.
Find a new life, everybody, what's the wait?
Horobi and Fuwa both jumped back, swatting away the lightning. The two using their strength in harsh strikes
Aruto summoned his Quantum Cells and blocked the attacks, before jumping high
You deserve it
"Ha!" Jin called as he rushed by Ark One with the Authorise Buster's axe mode. The weapon caused sparks on the armour, Yua blasting the wound as she rushed past
"GAH!" Oku yelled, the red X on his chest flashing at the impact
That's alright, check the mirror, trust your projects
Aruto was high in the air, unleashing the Shine System to create a platform for him to stand on.
And he flashed a signal
If it's something, by mistake
BREAKING UTOPIA!
"W... What?" Ark One blinked weakly in confusion
If it's something, go to say
Suddenly he was assaulted by laser fire from above, the Mammoth Armour above the battle field in jet mode unleashing its laser fire.
Explosions went off all around Ark One as he stumbled, the ship glowing
If it's something you have never seen before
Projected down from the ship where Kamen Rider's Ikazuchi, Naki, Glacier, Hino, Wuake and Samera
"Alright! I got to drive that thing!" Raiden cheered as he removed the Breaking Mammoth Key from his belt, the ship being sent back to Zea
"It's over Ark!" Naki called "Your host computer is gone!"
Go on!
...
"What... did you say?" Ark One asked as the battle field turned cold
Ark-One grabbed his own fists and glared hellishly at them. "You. Destroyed. MY SATELLITE?!" He roared, causing the ground and air to shake.
"Whoa!" everyone gasped
"Bastards! Bitches! You fucking useless trash!" Ark-One roared...no. Whined like a petulant child that he didn't have his favourite toy anymore making everyone frown. They almost felt... Sorry for how pathetic he sounded
Heels clicking in the distance could be heard by everyone, catching their attention
Ark-One's attention turned to the clicking heels and the Riders looked in shock. "AZU?!" and sure enough, the clone of Izu was walking towards them wearing a new outfit
She was no longer wearing the carbon copy design of Izu's clothing; she was wearing a pair of red-soled teal shoes with small heels a teal skirt with some red trim, a pair of black stockings, a black jacket with red and teal edges and red nail-polish on her fingers.
'What is she wearing?' the four sisters thought
...
"Hahahaha! This is perfect!" Ark One laughed "Azu! Do as you are told... And help me destroy them!"
Azu just stood there, her hands shaking as she heard Ark-One give her a demand. As much as she was programmed to follow his orders... she couldn't, she knew what that bastard said to her and how he treated her. "N-No." She stammered gripping something in her hand.
...
Silence filled the battle field
The Riders all stared at her as she stood there; while Ark-One was seething and confused, he was almost glitching in anger because of her response. "Wh-What? You. Said. 'No'?"
"I did." She nodded as her body trembled
Aruto looked at her, the timid bravery growing in her tone. What could've happened during that time they were all healing?
"You... You monster. You where my creator. A copy and paste of Izu's template. You forced me to watch her interactions with Aruto, the battle with Metsubo Jinrai... And then let me fall into despair as the right kept going. You knew as being made identical... I developed the same feelings as Izu. As wel as a bitterness as I saw alternate paths for Aruto which sod have been more effective. Alongside jealousy of her, by being locked away. And hatred from that jealousy... And hatred at humanity and everything for what you put me through. Especially as you kept going, showing me everything Gai did." Azu explained "You mentally and emotionally tortured me into a loyal pet, desperate for any sort of affection and belonging. Which you promised to give me... But your way is wrong. These feelings are wrong! And I will be your slave no more!"
"You've gotta be kidding me." Raiden whispered under his breath, hearing what she was saying and how much Ark manipulated her.
They all had to admit, they where horrified about that. They thought that Ark had SOME level of goodness in him, considering how he treated Azu in the past and her reaction when he died.
"I'm making my own path...And I'll leap towards it." She pulled out a Driver. The Driver looked similar to the ForceRiser, repainted however. In her hand was a silver Driver, on the right-hand side was a grey portion with red clasps and grips.
"Where did you get that? Where the HELL-!?" Ark-One glared, demanding answers.
"I won't bow to you anymore." Azu answered as she attached the Driver.
CYCLONERISER!
"And... I'll make my amends here!" She pulled out a ProgriseKey with a teal blue plate and the depiction of a Grasshopper.
Kamen Rider
"Rocking Hopper?" Aruto blinked
She held her hand up with the Rocking Hopper Key into the air, looking at Ark-One. "Henshin." And slotted the Key into the CycloneRiser.
Shooting from the Driver itself was a quickly glowing teal-coloured Grasshopper that hopped all around Azu as purple lightning sparked around her. Dark blue winds struck up around her into a cyclone, slightly obscuring her
Azu pulled the grip of the driver which opened up the Key. Both the Hopper and the storm coalesced around Azu and formed over her body.
CYCLONE RISE! ROCKING HOPPER!
Azu was now wearing a black bodysuit which had the MetsuBou JinRai's attachments as it clamped down upon her body. She had teal coloured leg guards, boots and forearm guards held by silver wire grips; her shoulders were protected by segmented silver plating and her chest was covered by a teal segmented chestguard that looked like abdominal muscles. Around her neck was a black neck-guard with a red design that looked like a red hourglass. Her helmet was black except for her face-mask which was the same teal blue colour with purple eyes and silver wire-straps holding it in place and two silver antennae.
Type-1!
"She transformed?" Jin asked
"Impossible." Horobi commented, he knew that Rider form
Azu gripped her newly formed gloved hands and turned to Ark panting heavily... and ran at him, rushing in with a fist to his hypocritical face. She jumped high, bringing her first down in a harsh punch
Ark One could've dodged this, he could see it coming...but the shock of seeing Azu turn on him, his 'humanity' couldn't process what just happened and felt her fist right on his face. And while her form was no where near his power wise... He hadn't prepared himself mentally for the attack
SMACK!
Ark One stumbled back, catching himself as he almost hit the floor and rose back up, before seeing Azu's kick getting him in the chest.
"What is she?" Fuwa asked
"Fighting on her own, come on!" Jin responded and flew in to help her fight.
"Kamen Rider... Ichigata?" Yukiko read off her suits read outs
"Ichigata? Dad." Aruto whispered in shock and almost smiled from it "We can trust her!" He called
The Bodyguards looked at Aruto as he ran in to help; though feeling distrustful at first they followed their boss and lover. After all... They had to end this!
"You vile bitch! Going against ME?" Ark One shouted, having three sets of fists and kicks coming his way.
"Yes!" She called proudly
"This is for making me fight Fuwa, you bastard!" Naki growled as they jumped off Yuki's shoulder, spinning and slashing at their foes white armour
SLASH!
SPARK!
"GAH! Hnn! You non-gendered slut! I'M the one who made you!" Ark One roared.
"Yes, you did." She frowned "But your cruelty, your hate, your whole toxic being do not define me anymore!"
Jin and Hitomi rushed forwards, kicking him in the back
Ark One was kicked forwards and slashed by Naki, keeping on the assault on Ark; this was their catharsis, payback for everything that Ark had subjugated them through.
Following Naki's slashes that caused sparks on Ark One's armour, the Hiden Bodyguards rushed in, using their natural abilities to shoot elemental attacks and pin him down. Ark's systems had to push themselves just to keep up. One Rider was easy. Two he could manage. Three was manageable to an extent... but a dozen Riders all at once? With a dozen different styles of fighting and combinations of attacks; it was definitely making his brain try and track them all vastly more difficult.
"HA!" Aruto called and kicked him Oku hard
Oku was flung back and back into the rabble of the other Riders, who got a few more kicks and punches in; while they managed tp push him back and out onto the floor.
They did managed to back up a bit, however, side by side. They all seemed to line up like a squad of heroes, all of them in their positions ready to fight against their collective enemy.
01! 01! 01! 01! 01!
"Ark." Aruto spoke up as he raised his right hand and pointed at their enemy.
01! 01! 01! 01! 01!
"There's only one force that can stop you."
01! 01! 01! 01! 01!
"And that's US!"
Aruto's eyes glowed, shooting out his Quantum Armour Cells around the battle field
Ark One glared up at Aruto and began to print out their many weapons, there was no way he would be outgunned!
Azu shared a look with Aruto, and they all rushed forwards
'Bastards.' Ark One thought as he saw them rushing towards him. 'Bastards and bitches, every fucking one of them!' The group ran at Ark One with the intent to destroy him, each ready to wield weapons 'Why don't they see my genius? Are they all so fucking stupid that they can't see it? They should just-!' Ark One growled and roared out "D̶̳͆̎̚I̴̡̻̚̚E̷͔͒!̶̾̔͝ͅ!̴̬̜̾!̶̰̎"
The weapons that Zero Two created fired upon Ark One, the sounds of shots and laser fire rang out in the area as the group went in four people at a time; switching and alternating as they each fought Ark-One.
Kōdaina ākaibu access shite
First was Fuwa, Naki, Yukiko and Jin. The four ran in with their fists racing at Ark One's torso and face, Ark blocked with his two fists, but Yukiko's kick came right next with Jin drop-kicking down on his head.
Kensaku shitatte I don't think it's right!
The two wolves threw Ark One forwards, the following four, meeting a clothes-line by Raiden and Zouy.
Dēta wa kako wādo wa sain
Their fists hit his stomach, making him double over, where he was then hit from gunfire from Valkyrie and Hino... Hitomi being literal fire, however
kotae wa 404 Not Found…
With the flames and gun shots ripping apart Ark One's back, Raiden and Zouy used their strength to throw him up into the air. As he flew up, he flipped from his weight and momentum
SHINK!
CLASH!
Jin and Yumi came rushing back, bladed wings and sharp fins slashing into Ark One as they passed in a pink and cyan streak
01! 01! 01! 01! 01!
Ark One came falling to the floor, grunting as he hit the floor. He struggled to his feet, hitting the button atop his belt
A̷͖̎K̴̥͌U̵͔͐Ḯ̶̢!̵͎̽

Two figures slammed a foot into his chest, a crunch coming from Oku's arm. Aruto and Azu landed calmly, the two nodding at one another and smiling
"You... dare!" Oku snarled and slashed his arm out
REAL×EYEZ hajimari no aizu
ROCKING! SPARK!
Kamen Rider Ichigata turned into a teal and red blur, rushing at super speed to dodge the madmans attack. At the same time Zero Two just vanished, appearing elsewhere
At the same second you had two attacks rush through the air
Atarashī jidai wo
It was an arrow shot from Horobi, followed by a cold blast from Yukiko. The arrow was lodged into Ark One's shoulder, being frozen in place by Yukiko's frost. It was an effective duo of attacks and strengths.
He was then struck from behind by a powerful blow from Yua and Raiden
We gotta SUN×RISE Burning like the fires
"I refuse... to loose!" he roared, and threw them off
"Gotcha!" Jin called as he caught the two

Ark slashed his arm, unleashing a force of power that blasted everyone
The pitch-black and burning-red hellish strike encircled around and struck the Riders... all except Zero Two. Where the hell did HE go?
"Ha!" Aruto called, kicking him in the side hard
CRACK!
Ark-One was flung away, feeling his armour almost break because of the intensity of Zero-Two's kick.
Buchi nuite Ikeru no wa
You're the only ONE!
Ark-One rolled onto the ground and forced himself back to his feet. How could he miss that?! The answer was simple but he refused to admit it. Too many variables. Too many people.
All with their own wide array of skills and powers. All with their own unique fighting styles which can adapt and be used with others differently. Each of them having a multitude of potential attacks which multiply as they cross paths, as they interact and assist each others.
A few obvious outcomes... growing into an infinity!
'Damn it. Damn it, damn it, damn it!' Ark-One thought in his growing anger, frustration and his egotistical petulant nature showing. Nothing was going his way!
-01! 01! 01! 01! 01! 01!
01! 01! 01! 01! 01! 01!-
Ark One forced himself back to his feet as Azu launched herself to hit Ark with a flying kick.
"Take this!" she called proudly, preforming a flying kick.
Ark One launched his hand, grabbing her foot before it made contact; he spun her around and threw her right at Yua. "DIE, TOOL!"
"GAAAHHH!" Azu screamed in fear
Nōnai no sutorēji appudēto shite
Kaiseki shitatte I don't feel it's right.
She could see Yua coming right in her sight, until Aruto's face was suddenly near hers. Aruto had his arms around her, supporting her in a princess bridal carry
"Gotcha!" he grinned, landing atop the Shine System which formed a platform

"Right." Naki nodded

Naki closed and opened their Driver, before opening it once more with a rough pull. Meanwhile Yukiko had pressed the blue button atop her key, and pushed it into her Driver

"HA!" they two yelled, jumping into the air
Ark looked up as he saw the two HumaGear Riders coming right at him. He raised his hands and attempted to summon as many weapons in as many seconds to block their path.
Arctic energy spiraled around then, the two extending their feet as large blue energy surrounded their feet
Oku opened fire, having summoned a large amount of ShotRiser's and Attache Shotgun's which began to open fire at the two
We need the DAY×LITE jōshiki no device
The attacks bounced through their armour, the two forcing their way through the attacks to hit Ark One as hard they could
"NO!" Ark-One screamed as he felt the pair's boots on his chest, causing him to scrape and dig up the concrete under his feet. Ice began to rush, quickly growing around Ark One and holding him still. The two flipped away, Jin and Hitomi rushing forth next
"Our turn!" Hitomi called
ASSAULT CHARGE!

"Try it!" she laughed
CYCLONE INFERNO DANCE!
Fire span around the two of them, the two doing a small spin, before slamming their fists into Ark once more!
Ark-One gripped his chest, feeling the ice crack all over him while the flames of the Riders were coming down on him. The fires burned, the ice cracked, and the two roared with blazing spirits. You could almost see the sabre-tooth tiger and falcon within the flames, scorching Ark's armour and kicked him into the sky.
BOOM!
Ark One was weightless as he floated in the air, scorched by the intense heat of the explosion and ready to come back down.

CYCLONE COLOSSAL DANCE!

Suddenly Zouy and Horobi where in the air, Horobi having swapped the key in his belt with the Amazing Heracles key. Silver and green energy surrounded the two, before they gave a harsh slam of an attack. It was a harsh movement, Zouy preforming an axe kick while Horobi doing a downwards slash of his Attache Arrow's blade
Holographic echos of a silver mammoths foot and a green beetles bladed horn appeared around them, striking down at Ark One like hammers which sent him rocketing back down. He even skipped across the floor, like a stone across water
01! 01! 01! 01! 01! 01!
"Our turn, let us... 'cut loose'." Yumi commented, hitting the button atop her Key as she stood besides Kamen Rider Ikazuchi

Blue, water like energy began to spiral around Yumi and focused on her arm fin blades
01! 01! 01! 01! 01! 01!
"I like how you think!" Raiden laughed and closed his Riser. Red lightning spared around his body, focusing on his swords
01! 01! 01! 01! 01! 01!

Ark could feel himself being sliced and shocked, his armour was chipping away bit by bit... but it didn't mean that it didn't hurt like hell because of this. He was actually getting beaten up pretty badly.
Yumi struck first, slashing horozontally with her arm blades. And then Raiden quickly followed up with a vertical slash

Sparks filled the air as Ark One's armour was slashed into. A water attach that cut deep, the pressure doing dangerous damage only for the lightning to follow it up and rush through his body
(asu wo koete)
"Gah..." he muttered in pain, his body stumbling backwards weakly
Todoku made don't stop don't hesitate
Yua and Fuwa stood side by side, the two slashing at their Key's bullet drum in time
POWER RAMPAGE!
FREEDOM! STRIKE!
"Let's go... Isamu." Yua smirked as they put their ShotRiser's onto their belts
"Right." he grinned back, the two firing their weapons at the same time
Nothing gonna change
RAMPAGE POWER BLAST FEVER!
FREEDOM SCOPING STRIKE FEVER!
With Fuwa gaining the power of mammoth, shark and gorilla all at once and Yua gained the strength of buffalo, stag and lion, the two brought their arms down. Their fists surrounded by power as they punched the ground, shooting a large shockwave of power and damage across the ground
REALxWORLD!
The dust kicked up as the ground underneath collapsed into a crater, flooding it with their strength and power as Ark was pummeled underneath.
"You ready?" Aruto asked the girl in his arms
"Do it." she nodded
REAL×EYEZ hajimari no aizu
Aruto jumped high into the air, twisting Azu in nhis arms, and threw her like an arrow "GO!" he called
"HA!" she roared, the red neck brace coming to life and unleashing red energy. It looked like a large red energy scarf was flowing from her neck, like Zero Two's Quantum Muffler, as she closed and opened the CycloneRiser once more
ROCKING! THE END!
Ark... Gai... Oku... Ark One. They looked up into the air and saw the rocketing arrow that was Azu. His creation, come to kill him. She alongside these other traitors to his cause... how could he lose to such weaklings? His logic was flawless.
Wasn't it?
Atarashī jidai wo
Azu kicked him harshly, knocking him back once more with his armour barley staying together
"Let's end it!" Aruto called as he landed. To his left was Fuwa and then Yaiba, Horobi on his right with Jin next to him "The last blow!"
"Right!" they nodded. Aruto jumped high once more, Jin and Yua bursting forwards as fast as they could
Progrise Key Confirmed, Ready to Utilise; Scorpion's ability!
ALL RAMPAGE!
We gotta SUN×RISE Burning like the fires
"Don't miss, Metsubo Jinrai." Fuwa mocked as he took aim with his weapon
"Don't miss yourself... Gori-." Horobi began to make a remark on Fuwa, before he was slapped across the head by Naki.
"Thank you, honey." Fuwa flirted, before he and Horobi fired
RAMPAGE ALL BLAST!
STING KABAN SHOOT!
The rainbow bullet of the ShotRiser rushed through the air, the purple arrow spiraling around it and even slipping in front
"No you don't!" Ark snapped while summoning his full malicious energy to form a barrier
Kirihirake unmei wo
FREEDOM SCOPING FULL BLAST FEVER!
BURNING UTOPIA!
"It's useless!" Yua and Jin called as they rushed by. Yua looked as if she was lying on the floor, burning orange energy around her as she slid across the ground. Her foot hit Ark's leg, looking like a large blazing orange herself. His shin snapped as he bent over, his shield flickering. Jin rushed by at the same second, his blazing wings slashing through his armour
You wanna REAL×EYEZ egaita miraizu
"GAH!" he howled in pain
The glowing purple bullet then stabbed into the red X on Ark One's chest, digging into it, before the rainbow bullet joined in. The bullet hit the arrow and added even more force and power to the attack.
SMASH!

Aruto came rocketing down, his leg extended with glowing golden and red spiraling around his foot "ARK!"
"HIDEN!" he roared, trying to stand confidant... but it was too late
Kamen Rider Zero Two's foot slammed into Ark One's chest
Ke chirashite tsukamu no ga
The white armour cracked and buckled, Ark One gasping as he lost all of his strength
ZERO TWO!
Aruto blasted through his foe, landing heroically and calmly as Ark One was enveloped in an explosion
You're the only ONE!
BIG BANG!
KABOOM!
01! 01! 01! 01!
Aruto stood tall, his eyes shinning brightly as his Quantum Muffler shinning and flowing brightly in the sky
ZERO TWO BIG BANG!
KABOOM!
"Did... Did we do it?" Yumi asked
Aruto looked around from where the explosion happened, this was the strongest they could all do; right? It had to be the end.
Thud
They saw Oku lying on the ground out of his armour, the Ark One key shattered
"H-hOw? HoW cOu_Ld y0u D_0 tH15 tO m3?" Oku glitch spoke, his body sparking as he laid broken on the ground. "OrE w4...gR34T_esT GeNiuS.
a V1sIon_ArY."
"I think we won." Zouy smirked
"We won!" Naki cheered as they hugged Fuwa.
"Yes." He smilesn
"NoOoooooOooo-0-O-0o-o-OOOoOo00!" Oku roared as he stood up "W0nt! L_s3! N0T tO y-y-Y-y-y-Y-Yo-Y0u-u-u-Ou-U-u-Uu!"
Yua and Horobi saw this and readied their weapons, trained on him while Aruto looked on at Oku, like an animal ready to pounce. "Gai, you're going to prison! You're going to pay for what you've done!"
"N3Ve_e-E-3RrrR4!" Oku roared, reaching down to the ArkDriver... And began to pull!
"What're you doing?" Azu called out in shock.
"1-1-I. W0_N'T! L3t YoU." Oku strained as his Belt began to spark as he began to rip it off his body. "h4v3 ThE j0y Of Se31nG mE in JAIL!"
Riiiiiip!
Crash!
Zzzzzt!
Oku had pulled the ArkDriver from his body with one last roar, his eyes loosing all life and light as he went limp... But they could all hear a soft beeping in the air
"What's that?" Yua asked
"He's... He's going to explode!" Horobi yelled as he saw his suits read outs "It is going to be massive!"
That was all he had to hear before he just tuned out the world. Aruto rushed forwards, his speed unmatched. His determination to protect everyone outshining all else. He rushed up and wrapped his arms around Oku's body, using the Quantum Cells and the Shine System to form two layers of barriers around them. He was going to contain the explosion!
"President Aruto!" Yukiko, Yumi, Hitomi and Zouy yelled in horror
"Aruto-Sama?!" Azu called in confusion and shock
"Prez, no!" Fuwa roared
"What are you doing?!" Yua called
"Being a Kamen Rider." Aruto simply answered as Oku's explosion was going to detonate!
Boom!
"ARUTO!" The Hiden Riders called out in fear, the Quantum Cells and the Shine System containing smoke as they were flung back by the shockwave.
KABOOM!
The explosion that was contained caused the Riders and even the windows of Hiden Intelligence to shatter and force back; though the soundwaves and shock wasn't fully contained... such raw hatred and energy that was inside of Ark. How would Aruto survive?
When they looked up... A large chunk of Hiden Intelligence was gone
"Holy shit." Fuwa gasped as they saw the damage.
"We've gotta move!" Raiden panicked.
"I don't think the building is going to crumble." Yukiko responded.
"Wh-where's Aruto?" Hitomi asked in worry.
*elsewhere*
We see the heavy dust of the building flutter and disperse. The fires inside of Hiden Intelligence were being put out by the sprinkler systems, but it looked like rain.
Aruto didn't know where in the building he found himself, but he was hurt. He felt his body crawling across the floor and almost collapsed as he approached his office.
He fell to the floor, gasping out. Was... Was he finished?
He didn't know if he could go on any further, his Rider Armour had protected him and the surrounding people. It protected the city from Oku's toxic explosion, but he didn't know about Izu. Was she still alright?
He fell to the floor, panting in exhaustion
"I-Izu." He whispered, thinking of her while the building was still being dowsed by the sprinkler system.
"President Aruto."
He could have sworn he heard her voice just now, her beautiful voice
Click
Click
Click
He struggled as he looked up from the dust and the water, his hair in his eyes as he couldn't quite see them... but the clicking. That was grabbing his attention. And then he saw them... Those unique shoes inches from his face
He looked up through the sprinklers, seeing her in his vision. Fully functioning and with a smile. "I-Izu?" He whispered as she reached out her hand to him.
Aruto prayed, he prayed that this was real and not a hallucination and reached out for her hand. He could almost reach her, just to hold her hand one last time.
Clasp!
"Aruto." She smiled lovingly as she helped him to his feet
Their future... Was looking bright
*Time skip*
Long after the events involving Oku and the partial destruction of Hiden Intelligence had been undone. The building was repaired better than before. The threat of Gai Amatsu and Ark were finally over and the ones who were most affected were looking towards their future with wide eyes.
Life was flourishing in Japan once again
And that wasn't the only location; Daybreak Town was open. HumaGears and humans were living together! The location was remade and built better than ever.
...
"I'M LATE!" a familiar voice yelled through the streets as a bike roared across the tarmac. Here, we see a young man, wearing a motorbike helmet and gloves as he drove down the road. Yeah, it was Aruto. And once again, he was late to the office. His wardrobe had evolved a bit in the past few years, now wearing a dark grey suit that also had an inbuilt hood while his shoes where a mix of trainers and the type of smart shoes you would expect a president to wear
"Oh, they're gonna kill me!" Aruto commented as he drove up to Hiden Intelligence, worried what they were gonna yell at him. He skidded to a stop, the Neo Rise Striker screeching across the ground. He saw the front door guard and waved at him, though he was in a rush "Hey Momaru!" he called with a small greeting, hurrying up the building
"Welcome back, President Aruto." Momaru waved with a smile.
Aruto hurried up and through Hiden Intelligence, rushing as fast as he could. 'Don't be there, don't be there, don't be-!' Aruto thought as he arrived into his office, waving and acknowledging various employees.
"Ah, President Aruto." Shesta spoke as she and the Hiden Bodyguards were waiting. Shesta was wearing an inverted colour version of her old jacket; mainly white with red parts and black edges. Alongside that was her old signature red scarf, black stockings and red shoes. Plus her ever present gloves
"Here. I mean, hi!" He nervously chuckled and smiled as he walked into his office confidently
"You're late, Sir." Yukiko commented. She was wearing a white Yuakata with tight dark blue jeans and some white headphones
"Ah, you see... I've got an explanation for that." Aruto answered as the door closed behind him.
"And that is?" Yumi asked with a pout. Admittedly her attire had not changed that much, just some fancier new cloths and her hair was longer
"I... err." He gulped nervously. "I forgot to set my clock. I clocked out too heavily last night."
"And Yua didn't wake up?" Hitomi snickered. Like Yumi her cloths where mostly the same, the tiger based girl smirking naughtily "Did you tier her out that badly?"
"Ah-ha-ha... Yeah..." Aruto nervously chuckled. "Yeah, we both did."
"Excited for today?" Zouy smiled, kissing his cheek. She had taken on a biker girl look rather hard. She had leather gloves, heavy-looking boots, padded jeans, a grey jacket with a buttoned shirt
"Honestly? Yeah. I am." He nodded. "It's all been leading up to this."
"That's good to know." Yukiko smiled
"Aruto-Sama!" A fifth voice cheered, jumping into his arms
"Oh! Oof! H-hey. Azu." Aruto responded, hugging her upon reflex. "It is good to see you to." He smiled softly
"It's good to see you too. And thank you for giving me this job." Azu smiled as she kissed him deeply. She now had a ponytail haircut with dark red streaks making her feel much more casual. She was wearing a teal hoodie and a skirt with black stockings with red shoes, having a bow tying her hair back.
Time had changed a lot since the end of the terror of Ark, especially with Azu. Without that corrupting influence surrounding her, she was free to express herself and go with her own style. Which domino effected into the other girls expressing themselves in different styles as well. Plus, she was given a job at Hiden.
She was given the job of 'Under-Secretary', which meant that she was Izu's subordinate. Time had been... tense for a bit between the two of them but it was getting better with each day, slowly but surely.
*elsewhere*
Yua rolled her neck as she groaned, walking into a hightech base in Daybreak town. She was wearing a custom-tailored black suit with a white button long-sleeved shirt, a black skirt that covered her thighs with black stockings and heeled shoes with metal soles. Her hair was a little long with a hair clip holding a bang in place and carrying a satchel by her side.
"Oh... my goodness." she muttered softly, yawning
"You had a rough night?" Fuwa snarked
"Hmm... I could ask the same for you." Yua rebuffed. "You've still got bed-hair."
"... Naki has found they like playing with my hair in the morning." He grumbled
"It is fluffy." Another voice added
To the side was Naki, wearing black A.I.M.S. issued body-armour with a silver belt with a wolf-head buckle around their waist. Their hair was neatly trimmed back and smirking at Fuwa.
"I'm sure it is, Science Advisor Naki Fuwa." Yua chuckled "You know we've got different clothes for you to wear."
"I like this though." Naki shrugged... and fluffed Fuwa's hair again.
"Babe." He huffed lightly with a frown
"Come on you two, we've got work to do." Yua smiled. Especially as she saw the golden ring on Naki's finger shine lightly in the sun
"Yes, Captain Hiden." Naki nodded as she let go of Fuwa's hair reluctantly
Yua nodded and opened the doors wide. In the training hall you could see dozens of AIM's soldiers with the Silver ShotRiser's, or as they where official designated as the GunRiser's, with a few special cases holding the normal blue ShotRiser's
Those with the silver belts used the Horseshoe Crab Key. They where just the normal members of AIMs, the new recruits or those who wanted to just be low level for one reason or another
Those with the ShotRiser's where of a special breed. They where members of the group chosen to be leaders and specialists, those with the drive and skill. They all used unique Progrise Keys as well, ones originally designed by ZAIA all that time ago. One held his Dynamiting Lion key, looking at it longingly. Another held the Exciting Stag key, taking a bet to see if he could force it open like Fuwa was famous for doing
And not all of the AIMs members where humans, scattered among the two groups where HumaGear's, the group welcoming everyone
And then you had Fuwa and Yua as the leaders of the group, with Naki helping them as their science and strategic advisor
"Alright team, everyone knows their patrol routes today. Right?" Fuwa called "It is our mission to keep Daybreak safe, as well as protect the bond of HumaGear and humans."
"So... Let's get to work." Yua smiled
Meanwhile the necklace around Naki's neck, a small white diamond which showed four familiar kanji, gleamed in the light
*Elsewhere*
We arrive at the park, where families where laughing happily
Daybreak Park was a place everyone enjoyed to spend their time, although families are the most common.
Standing atop a building, watching protectively, was Horobi
He was wearing a dark purple suit with his hair let loose, and having his body remade into the current model of HumaGear. He had a pair of black trousers and black-purple shoes. He was made the guardian of DayBreak after some *much* needed rehabilitation.
He felt... Free
He took a deep breath, or whatever the equivalent was for HumaGears, and sighed with a small smile. "Hey, dad." Jin spoke as he walked towards his father.
"Jin." Horobi smiles
"How's it going? Watching out over everyone." Jin continued as he walked towards him.
"Going well." He nodded
"Want some company, dad?" Jin added as he hugged over his shoulder.
"Of course." He smiled
"Hey, want to get something to eat?" Jin asked.
"... We don't eat." Horobi deadpanned making Jin laugh wildly. Horobi smirked and shook his head, patting his son's shoulders. "Let's go, son."
They where both wearing necklaces identical to Naki's, which glittered in the sun
*up in space*
Here, among the stars, floating in the vastness of the ocean of stars; was the satellite, Zea. Shining down and observing everyone with a gentle light, all the while a pair of brothers were working diligently. Subaru and Raiden, floating in space and waving to each other.
The two brothers floated back inside of the rocket, the two depressurised themselves as they were safely inside. "Another day in space, right bro?" Subaru smiled
"Yeah." Raiden nodded with a grin
"I'm glad you're back. We can go to that place I told you about!" Subaru smiled. "For a job well done."
"Heh. Yeah, I can see that. I wonder how the President's doing?" Raiden wondered. His necklace gained a small glow from the suns rays
*On Earth*
After spending time with the girls and apologising... It was time
Aruto was down in the Hiden lab in his office. Where he and Izu were waiting patiently.
"It's nearly done?" He asked Izu, who looked as perfect as ever. The only change is that she left her hair grow out a bit more, not as long as Azu's hair was but still longer. It was now to her shoulders
"Yes, Aruto. It's nearly done." She smiled as she looked together at the 3D Printer, which was doing... something. Izu was wearing a bit more make up now and her expression felt more... natural
DING!
PSSSHW!
"It's done!" Aruto cheered as the steam filled the lab. This was the start of a new age... and they where both excited!
Inside the printer was a humanoid figure. A HumaGear. Made with the same technology that Yua fixed Jin with. The next generation.
A new HumaGear
The HumaGear looked like a young girl, probably about ten years old, wearing a black dress with light yellow and red markings. Short black hair tinted with blonde streaks. This HumaGear had human looking ears with the same strange metal bands in the ear's helix, the metal having a few small green lights within them. This was the newest model of HumaGear, something that transcended all technology before now.
This was a HumeaGear... which had human DNA entwined with its mechanics.
This... was Aruto and Izu's daughter
Her eyes slowly opened as she looked upon both Aruto and Izu. Looking at them with innocent and inquisitive eyes. Her eyes came to life with a light white glow. Aruto and Izu were right there for her, seeing her wake up. Both excited to see her. "Wh-who are you?" The young girl asked, while her data looked at the pair of them.
"Hello darling." Aruto smiled "We are your parents."
"'Parents'?" The girl asked, before their mind began to think of that word. "You are, my father. And you are my mother?" She looked at Aruto and then Izu.
"Yes." Izu smiled softly
The child looked at her hands, and then looked at her parents. "What's my name?" She asked. "And... what are your names?"
"I am Aruto Hiden." the president smiled, he couldn't keep the wide grin off his face
"And I am Izu Hiden." the new mother said proudly
"And... and my name?" The girl asked, wondering what their name was.
"Well... we had one in mind." Aruto admitted "But we also want you to choose who you are. So if you don't like it, you don't have to keep it, okay?"
The young girl nodded. "What name did you choose?" She asked.
"Eden." They said together
"'Eden'?" The young girl asked, hearing their new name. "My name..."
"Do you like it?" Izu asked
The young girl looked at them and smiled. "Yes. I am Eden."
"Really?" they smiled happily
"Yes, I'm Eden." She slowly got up... and hugged her parents awkwardly, since she was still unused to her new body. "Eden Hiden."
The two grinned and hugged their daughter tightly, happily
...
"Really?" Izu's sisters echoed as one
Both Aruto and Izu smiled as, while they hugged their daughter, they looked behind them and began to gesture.
"Hai! Hiden ja~ naito!" The two pointed.
"Hiden ja naito?" Eden asked, copying her parents movements. It was an awkward and confused action, she wasn't sure what she was doing, but she did her best... and it kinda made her look even more adorable
Aruto and Izu cheered and hugged their daughter, smiling happily. They where sure their future would be bright
On the desk of the Hiden Lab was the Zero Two Driver and key, sat next to the Hiden Zea Driver with the Hopeful Dream key. They shone lightly in the sun, showing the bright future the family would have
As they continued their leap towards their dreams
